Don't do it. Bethesda does not deserve any PS3 players money. They pretty much said it was never getting Dawnguard, or any other expansion because they have problems coding for PS3. Well if they had problems why did they make it to begin with for it. The bugs and lag are just about gone, but if I didn't buy it day 1 and was thinking of it now I def wouldn't because of how bethesda basically does not care to support it.I have twitter to https://twitter.com/GamerYuichi , Also started youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMu7yRGCz8QrTyxaNVR3Tqw I don't always twitch, but when I can you can find my noobness http://www.twitch.tv/yuichimccry,

There are almost no issues with bug or lagging now after patches. But they are still having issues with DLC which has yet to be released. My suggestion: wait till they get that worked out and buy a GOTY edition which will include the DLC.
Somebody get me a doctor, I ain't feelin' ill ...But I ain't feelin' this at all...

No DLC should answer your question. PS3 Skyrim owners got shafted up the ass with a spikey Bethesda brand $#@! without lube.

yes, Skyrim is still worth buying.
it'll lag in a few locations, but for the most part it runs smooth. if i recall, lagging was only relevant to people with huge save files and high play times.
Lack of DLC is a little disconcerting though.

To the TS honestly yes I would recommend the game, you will get 100 hours+ out of the game without any problems and a lot more if you want to do all the side quests. It's a great game, runs great, and is overall well done.

I'm still waiting for the GOTY edition, as I always do, but might just get the PC version since the required specs aren't that bad.
10-23-2012 #13
NO! Go ahead and buy it on PC! I have it running on my macbook pro (I'm running Windows 7 with Bootcamp) and it works great. Mods make Skyrim way better (best mods are the ones that change little annoying things... like the one that gives your followers their own horses, or the one that makes followers invincible, or the one that makes horses invincible and lets you store your loot on them).
Seriously, Skyrim runs great on a decent PC and it only like 5gigs (without mods and dlc), so go ahead and get it on your computer. If you want to use your PS3 controller to play (that's what I do) then you need this program right here: http://www.motioninjoy.com/download

Buy the game you wont regret it.

Vanilla game is absolutely worth playing. If the possibility of not having DLC is something that doesn't upset you, definitely go for it.

PC - best choice.
The mods are phenomenal. I don't even have a good pc but I'll get the pc version down the roadI wonder when a nuclear warhead goes off, does the frame rate of real life drop?

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on January 28, 2014
H.R. 2095 would prohibit the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from acquiring new lands until the agency develops a public database of all BLM lands that have been identified for disposal. Based on information provided by the agency, CBO expects that BLM would need less than a year to construct the database, and we expect that the agency would defer the purchase of some lands during that period. Because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply; however, we estimate that the net impact on direct spending would be negligible. Enacting H.R. 2095 would not affect revenues.
Under current law, BLM has the authority to spend receipts from the sale of federal lands in southern Nevada to purchase environmentally sensitive lands. Because CBO expects that the bill would require BLM to defer the purchase of lands using those funds, we estimate that enacting the bill would reduce direct spending by about $7 million in 2015 and increase direct spending by that amount in 2016. Overall, we estimate that enacting H.R. 2095 would have no net impact on direct spending.
H.R. 2095 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
On February 6, 2014, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 2954, the Public Access and Lands Improvement Act, as posted to the website of the House Committee on Rules on January 30, 2014 (Committee Print 113-35). Title IV of H.R. 2954 and H.R. 2095 contain similar provisions, and the estimated costs are the same.

2005 Nissan Almera S 1.8 petrol from UK and Ireland
Very reliable and dependable. Very pleased with it
Air Con has failed. Was recharged, but a leak was then detected. Would be costly to repair, so I am choosing to leave it.
No other faults or problems. Everything works fine.
General Comments:
This car pulls very well, and hills do not present a problem. The handling is very acceptable for this type of car.
The seats are very comfortable, with good lumbar support.
The driver's side window and passenger window rattle when open, which is irritating, but more things are pleasing than not. The suspension is noisy over certain surfaces, but settles at speed, and is then not an issue.
The cabin is a pleasant place to be in my view, with useful features.
It starts first time in all weathers, and is totally reliable and dependable. Performed very well during last Winter.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

text: By LaDonna SwedbergSports Writer The RPAC conference is one of the tougher conferences in the state so the Wallace Wildcats were involved in some difficult games this past week as they competed in the conference tournament. Wallace was seated second behind Hitchcock County in the west side of the tournament and they began their play by facing Wauneta/Palisade in the opening round. The Broncos struggled from the beginning so Wallace had little trouble getting the win. Leaders for the game were Shane Anders with 20 points, two steals, three assists, six rebounds and two blocked shots; Collin Swedberg scored 11 points, had one steal, one assist, two rebounds and one blocked shot. Wallace advanced to face Paxton once again. The Wildcats went right to work to get off to a good start and display some great team work. John Marquardt put up the first points of the game when he drove the lane for a lay up. Following a couple of Paxton baskets, he was awarded two free throws when he got fouled trying to drive again. The Tigers responded with a quick answer but Wallace came back with four consecutive baskets. Shane Anders started the run with a short jumper and then Andrew Gardner scored on the next possession with a put back. Landon Swedberg drove the lane for a basket and the Anders got a put back. Before the quarter came to an end, Marquardt drove in for another bucket, Gardner put one in off the glass and earned a free throw with it and Swedberg ended the run by driving the lane. Wallace went in to the second quarter with 19 - 11 lead but Paxton came out to challenge the Wildcats by out scoring them by five points. Gardner got the first bucket and then Anders got a basket off the glass and one. Hayden Woodcox got inside for two and then Gardner tacked on a free throw. The Tigers second quarter charge really cut into the Wildcats lead and they were only able to take a slim 27-24 lead in to the halftime break. Wallace came back in the third quarter with a very tough defense and a variety of players finding ways to score. Collin Swedberg put up the first points with a short jumper. Andrew Gardner got free under the basket for another basket and then Landon Swedberg put one in off the glass. Paxton responded with two unanswered baskets but the Wildcats came back with free throws from Landon Swedberg and Andrew Gardner. John Marquardt put in the final points of the quarter when he drove the lane, the basket gave the Wildcats a 37-30 lead. Wallace started the game by putting up 19 points and that is how they ended the game. John Marquardt led the charge with eight points in the final period and Collin Swedberg and Andrew Gardner each put in four points. Shane Anders tacked on three points to give the Wildcats a 56-43 win over Paxton. John Marquardt led the Wildcats with 16 points, three assists and three rebounds. Andrew Gardner had 15 points, one steal and one rebound. The victory gave Wallace the opportunity to face the top seated Hitchcock County Falcons. Wallace started the game staying right with the Falcons. Hitchcock County put in the first two baskets but Landon Swedberg responded by getting four points off of put backs. John Marquardt hit a jumper and Andrew Gardner got a basket off the glass. Shane Anders turned an offensive rebound in to two points and with the game tied, he hit a buzzer beater to give the Wildcats a 13-11 lead. The Wildcats put up nine second quarter points. Collin Swedberg struck first with a jump shot and later John Marquardt drove the lane. Andrew Gardner got his points off of a put back and then Anders hit a huge three-pointer. Late in the quarter, Marquardt turned a steal in to two points to give Wallace a 24-18 halftime lead. The Wildcats only scored 12 points in the second half; three baskets for seven points and five points from free throws. The Falcons had made three baskets before Anders hit a three-pointer and then they had four unanswered baskets before Landon Swedberg got two free throws. Late in the quarter he got a short jump shot to fall but the Wildcat lead was gone as they trailed 31-36. Hitchcock County put up 20 points while Wallace could only come up with five. Marquardt was able to drive the lane for the only basket and Landon Swedberg added three free throws. Hitchcock County advanced to the championship game by defeating Wallace 56-36. Leading the way for Wallace was Shane Anders and Landon Swedberg each scoring 11 points; Shane also had two steals, four assists and nine rebounds. Wallace faced Bertrand in the consolation game. The opening quarter was a tight defensive battle. Landon Swedberg put up the first five points for the Wildcats and Shane Anders added five more to knot the game up at 10 at the end of one period of play. Wallace opened things up in the second quarter. Collin Swedberg started it off with a three-point shot and on the next possession Andrew Gardner got a deuce off the glass. Landon Swedberg put in two consecutive baskets; a put back followed by a three-pointer from the corner. Gardner got another bucket in the paint and then Shane Anders put up five points which came from a three-pointer and a successful inbound play. Landon Swedberg completed the second quarter scoring by driving the lane, tacking on a free throw and then putting one in off the glass. Wallace took a 35-21 lead into halftime. One of the keys for the Wallace offense was that different players were scoring so the Bertrand defense was having to guard all five players on the floor. Shane Anders and Landon Swedberg each drove the lane and hit a jump shot for four points a piece and Andrew Gardner scored on two put backs. John Marquardt tacked on a free throw and the Wildcats put up 13 third quarter points to take a 48-36 lead into the final period. Bertrand stepped up their pressure as the game progressed which created a few turnovers but the Wildcats didn't let the Vikings take them out of their game. Wallace put points on the board in a variety of ways, allowing them to score 20 points in the fourth quarter. Andrew Gardner and Landon Swedberg each scored six points, Shane Anders put up four and John Marquardt, and Tanner Clough each added two points in account for the strong finish in the game. Wallace came away with a 68-57 victory and a third place finish in the RPAC tournament.

The Ultimate PS3 Games Showdown has officially kicked off! We've set out to decide the Best PS3 Game of All Time, but we need your help. Through a series of match-ups, we'll narrow the field until only the best of the best remain. All you need to do is click the link below and cast YOUR vote in our official poll!
The Contenders:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
If Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was a great game, then Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was nothing short of spectacular. Nathan Drake's second adventure - equal parts shooting, climbing, and puzzle-solving - topped the first in every way. Bigger action. Thrilling setpieces. A tighter story. Refined controls and shooting took things to the next level and cemented our wise-cracking hero as one of gaming's biggest stars. Who doesn't remember leaping between speeding trucks on an icy mountain road, or scaling the rooftops of Nepal while squaring off against an attack helicopter? These moments, and many, many more, are memorable evidence of Uncharted 2's excellence.
Assassin's Creed II
Setting skilled assassin Ezio Auditore loose on the streets of Italy turned out to be a great move for the Assassin's Creed franchise. His inexperience and triumphs made for a character arc that was LEAGUES better than whiny Altair's. The richly-detailed playground of Assassin's Creed II allowed players to make use of interesting new gadgets and gizmos. Meanwhile, control refinements and better pacing made the game that much more compelling. Clearly, people loved it - Ezio has received two more spin-off titles to complete his character arc, and Assassin's Creed II is remembered as perhaps the best game in a series loved by millions.
Which of these two games deserves to move forward in our competition? Cast your votes in the official polling thread, and be sure to vote in all our match-ups to decide the Best PS3 Game Ever!

Summer Photo Fix
We took so many photos this summer. I want to go through them, but I'm sort of overwhelmed. I don't have a big block of time to organize an album. Is there a bite-sized way to put them together?
The beauty of digital photography is that you aren't afraid to waste any film so you theoretically won't ever miss a great moment. On the flip side, that means you probably have a lot more photos to catalog and print now than you did with old fashioned cameras. We bet that between weekend trips, the big summer vacation, and back to school, your digital camera and photo files are bursting at the seams. Instead of letting them stack up willy nilly on your computer, get them together so you can do what you wanted to do in the first place: show them off! Unlike old-fashioned film, doing so is easy, fast and often free.
I love to organize all my digital pictures with Creative Memories' Memory Manager software. It even helps me layout an album. And, I can easily search for a picture when the kids need one for a school project. The Storybook Creator Plus software CM has also helped me click and drop an entire vacation album in a weekned. Even made our Christmas card on it. Awesome!

Menopause – that dreaded time in a woman's life when her world seems to turn completely upside down. During perimenopause and menopause, a woman will experience a wide array of symptoms to include hot flashes and night sweats, headaches and joint pain, insomnia, lack of concentration, mood swings and irritation, and more. One of the most daunting of all symptoms has to do with menopause and hair loss. It has nothing to do with vanity (for most women) but losing hair is a horrific experience, especially for a woman.
Interestingly, menopause and hair loss is actually quite common although it will vary from slight loss to significant loss. Some women may notice just slight thinning where the problem is not really bothersome. Unfortunately, other women have drastic hair loss whereby they have balding spots that require a wig. Even the more serious cases are usually treatable and better yet, reversible. Keep in mind that hair loss associated with things such as aging and genetics is very different from hair loss during the change of life. Either case, the woman often feels a sense of embarrassment, lack of self-confidence, and in some cases, might question her femininity.
Obviously, menopause and hair loss can create emotional trauma, especially if the loss is significant. Just remember, there are viable options for treating hair loss. What happens is that during perimenopause, many women will have a change in thyroid function although the hair loss could be caused by a number of things. For instance, menopause is a stressful time of life whereby hormone levels are up and down, new medications and herbal remedies are being taken, and the overall body is going through a lot of change. In fact, for the woman dealing with menopause and hair loss, the problem could be associated with an event that happened three months before the perimenopause even began.
The type of hair loss varies as mentioned. It might be thinning or actual patches of hair that comes out in clumps. If you are going through perimenopause or menopause and have noticed your hair thinning or falling out, it is strongly advised that you talk to your doctor right away to stop the problem from getting any worse. The human hair is made up of keratin, which is the same protein of which fingernails and outer skin is comprised. The average person has about 100,000 strands of hair on the top of his or her head but the fascinating things is that between 50 and 100 of those strands fall out each day. For the average person, this small amount of hair loss is not even noticed. However, for the woman trying to handle menopause and hair loss, the number of strands lost could be in the thousands.
With hair, there is a certain phase in which hair grows. For example, each strand of hair will grow on average one-half inch per month but as we age, this will eventually slow down. Then, each strand remains on the head for approximately six years during which time it is constantly growing. This phase is called the "anagen" stage. Then the next stage is known as the "catagen" stage where the hair is resting. At this time, the hair is still connected to the head but no longer growing. Eventually, that hair will fall out, which is known as the "telogen" stage. After the hair is gone, in about five to six months new hair will grow from that same follicle. For women in perimenopause, this normal cycle is disrupted. Because of that, the hair falls out prematurely or when it does fall out naturally, it fails to grow back. To help strengthen hair during menopause, biotin is a great natural remedy. For medication not requiring a prescription, there is topical Minoxidil. Again, work with your doctor at the first sign of hair thinning or loss to get on the right treatment plan.

Reggie Jackson scored 14 points and had two clutch free throws of his own with 10.5 seconds to play. Thabo Sefolosha also had 14 points for the Thunder.
Gordon Hayward had a chance to tie the game for the Jazz but missed a long 3-pointer just before the buzzer.
Alec Burks had 19 of his 24 points in the second half for Utah and closed the gap to 99-98 on a dunk after Hayward came up the ball in a mad scramble with 10 seconds left.

What binocular would you like to own?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 10:17 AM
If the reasons are for actual experience or just because you hear a lot of good things about them is equally valid but would like you to express them.
For me, I would like to own the Swarovision 8x32, a perfectly portable size with more than astonishing reviews of experienced observers like Piergiovanni from Binomania.
I have an excellent experience with the 10x42ELs, but those are a bit heavy for long walks, I've been looking for a lighter pair and my dad has already kidnapped my Leica 8x20 that I have to admit I ultimately bought for him.
Apparently, the Swarovisons are a big step over the older EL's, and that have to be seen since the EL's are excellent.
On the other side, I don't know if I would buy them since I've already have the Docter Aspectem 40x80ED, but the 82mm Kowa Fluorites have been in my list for some time, I just wish they improve some specific details like their edge performance and a wider Afov set of eyepieces in the range of 30 to 40x. Unfortunately I have not had the pleasure to look trough a sample...
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:42 AM
I've thought about some of the better BT offerings but I'm not really sold on the concept yet.
The Canon 10x42 IS already on my short list. I'm going to sell some stuff in order to raise the funds to get one. And as much as I love reading your impressions of the Fuji 40x150, I can't see myself using something as large as that. Not here in the burbs anyway. Maybe when I buy a home in the mountains...
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:45 AM
And it is still very easy to carry and mount. Unbelievable performer.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:48 AM
but if I started over
-SW 8x32EL SV
-Kowa Highlander
if I could only keep one that I have-the SW
my favorites are the miyauchi 5x32, miyauchi 100mm, leica 10+50
least used-vixon and miyauchi 22x60s
most used-zeiss
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:59 AM
Smark, beware of used Docter 40x80's. There was an older version that looks almost the same, but its Eps are different and have only 10mm of eye relief, so I would be very hard to take the whole Fov for many people or to use glasses. Also, there is a non ED version, so the color correction is not perfect. I say this because those Docters are a recent version, and I don't think there are too many used for sale. The things that make this Docters amazing are precisely the things that got changed for the new version...

Here are two that would be high on my list:
Zeiss 20x60IS - I've always liked hand-held viewing, and these are probably the ultimate pair for that.
an alpha 8x32 - ideal travel binocular; I'd still want to try before I buy.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:03 PM
I've bought a lot of new binoculars over the last year or two, most of them because I've read good things about them here on Cloudy Nights.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:31 PM
Nikon 18 x 70. I have prewar Zeiss 18 x 50mm Delfort, which is a Porro II. Good for quick moon/ Jupiter moon glances in a light polluted environment, with elbows braced on a cartop. But it is not coated, nor is it widefield.
Nikon 10 x 70 red stripe, at least for comparison with similar equipment.
Perhaps take the time/$$$$ to make/have made an erect image 2-mirror pseudo roof prism phantom roof ED or flourite f/6 or 6.5 , with (fixed) 90 to 100 deg deviation, 120 to 180mm. binocular refractor, probably with the unilateral IPD adjustment ff. WW II Zeiss 25 x 100 or 12 x 60, but not neccessarily with real time ( to simplify construction) 2:1 eyepiece-"prism" linkage IPD mechanism.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:07 PM
I have been trying to locate one for years. I wish Pentax would reintroduce this version.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:32 PM
I hope they come back some day.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:47 PM
My needs are humble: a Pentax PCF WP 16x60.
I have been trying to locate one for years. I wish Pentax would reintroduce this version.
And it wouldn't cost a lot, maybe. I'd get one faster than the blink of an eye.
Here's what I would like to own:
Nikon 12x50 SE or Swarovski EL Swarovision 12x50
And if someone gave me a Swarovski SLCnew 15x56 WB, I think I could manage.
In conclusion, an old friend told me the truth: "Aging eyes need good optics!"

Like the name of the post reads, It would be nice to know what binoculars, without restriction in price or size you'd like to own.
Canon IS 15x50. Of all possible instruments I could buy, it's probably the one that would open most new options. But it's currently selling for 2X the price where I would be willing to consider it seriously, and 3X the price where buying it would be a no-brainer.
I would also love to buy an instrument that as far as I can tell doesn't exist at all -- the optical equivalent of a Kunming 15x70, but with eyepieces and an IPD that make it possible for me to use it.

Handheld, I have my favourites already in the shape of a Fuji 10x50 fmt and a NIKON 12x50 se.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 07:43 AM
..... under a dark sky must be incredible with those things.
under dark enough skies, almost any binocular would be better than what we have with our/most of our, LP skies

But my next choice would be a hypothetical 14x70 Fujinon FMT that is a scaled up version of the 10x50, with a wide apparent field and long eye relief.

//Is 3 a real thing? I used to wonder about that. And in fact I have put the question directly to a few of the best minds in computer science. They mostly shrug. I now see why: it's not that interesting a question.// --> Think they shrug because you looked so silly,they did not want to make you look ridiculous...
//Me//--> puzzled I answer
I do not quite understand what you are getting at...3 is the mathematical symbol representing a number value extracted from an ensemble of both reals and integer subset.
//MARSHALL// -->^persists and signs claiming basically that 3 <> 3
In strict English grammar, we would say "3" is the mathematical symbol representing a number value. But 3 is not the same thing as "3". 3 is the actual number; the successor to 2, *not* the glyph. "3" is a real thing, because symbols *do* appear in the natural world. You see them on pages of math books all the time. But is 3 a real thing, the way horses are real and unicorns are not real?
I rather think 3 has more in common with unicorns than with horses. (This is of course a metaphoric statement rather than a literal one.) But I find 3 to be ... useful nonetheless.

In making a claim, a person injured in an accident often alleges that the defendant was negligent in some respect, and that such negligence led to the accident and injury.
Courts may, from time to time, have put forward slightly varying versions of the legal definition of negligence but the basic idea is that a person is negligent if he fails to do something a reasonable person would have done, or if he does something that a reasonable and prudent person would not have done.
In real life situations, the law applies the concept of negligence together with the related concept of duty of care to resolve questions about who takes legal responsibility for an accident and injury. One way to illustrate this is with a story:
Mr Jones is the owner and manager of a clothing shop. He's been in business for 20 years, and has spacious premises with a team of experienced and friendly sales assistants in the heart of the city's shopping district. He is proud of the shop's distinctive architectural features, and particularly the polished terrazzo stone floors that underscore the stylishness of the merchandise and the way it is displayed.
Every evening for 20 years, Mr Jones has had his cleaning crew carefully dust and wet-mop the shop's terrazzo floors just after closing time. Before doing so, they put up yellow "wet floor" warning signs at each of the entrances to the sales floor (being the main entrance from the street and two entrances from the stock room in the back of the shop). Mr Jones also makes certain the front door is locked from the outside (although open from the inside) so that no one could come in off the street and slip on the wet floor. In 20 years, few people had ever been permitted to walk on the wet floor, and certainly no one had ever slipped or fallen on it.
One evening, several sales assistants stayed after closing time in order to help Mr Jones with stock-taking. One of those sales assistants was Henry, who had joined as an employee during the past few months and who had been proving to be an excellent worker despite his slight hearing impairment.
On that evening, the cleaning crew mopped the sales floor area as usual, while Mr Jones and the others did their stock count in the back room. When they began the stock count, Mr Jones instructed the sales assistants that when they finished they should leave the premises through the rear exit since the janitors were cleaning the sales floor.
The stock-take went quickly. When it finished, Mr Jones thanked his employees, and then went to work in his small office while they left the building. Henry, the newest employee, decided to go out through the shop's front entrance, since his brother was going to meet him on the pavement just outside. As Henry headed out of the stockroom onto the sales floor, he slipped on the freshly-mopped terrazzo floor, fell onto his side, and shattered his right elbow.
Two days later, Henry went to a local solicitor to find out whether he could make a claim for his accident and injury.
His solicitor explained the concept of negligence to him and went on to explain that it is helpful to think of a negligence claim as having three parts:
- The basic question whether a person has been negligent;
- The question whether the person who had been negligent had a duty of care to the claimant;
- The question whether the person's negligence was a cause (not necessarily the only cause, but a cause) of the claimant's injury.
So where do things stand for Henry?
Question of negligence
One might well conclude that Mr Jones had been negligent. Although his decision to have the shop floor wet-mopped each day may have been that of a reasonable man, he may nevertheless be negligent in having failed to do certain things that a reasonable and prudent man would have done.
For instance, a reasonable and prudent man might have secured the doors between the stock room and the sales floor while the janitors were mopping the sales floor. He also could have given the employees a further reminder to go out the back door before they left, ensured that Henry (who is hearing-impaired) heard and understood the instruction, and even watched the sales assistants leave the premises before going into his office.
Certainly, Mr Jones took some precautions — and had a 20 year track record of no slips and falls on the freshly mopped floor — but did he go far enough? To have a claim, Henry needs to establish that he did not.
Duty of care
The concept of duty of care has evolved considerably in recent decades, and the law now recognises duty of care as having three components:
(a.) The harm to be protected against must be foreseeable;
(b) The claimant and defendant need to be in proximity to one another, either physically, by way of some legal relationship, or by some other means; and
(c.) It must be fair, just and reasonable for the defendant to have a duty of care to the claimant.
Henry would argue that the harm was certainly foreseeable. When a smooth, stone floor gets wet, it gets slippery and people can easily fall onto the hard surface and get hurt. Jones, on the other hand, might accept that a slip and fall on a wet stone floor is foreseeable, but say that it is not foreseeable that a responsible employee would venture onto the wet floor despite the "wet floor" signs and an express instruction from his employer to use the rear exit.
And Henry would have no difficulty establishing proximity with Jones, since the parties share a legal employment relationship and Henry was injured inside Jones's shop.
Finally, is it fair, just and reasonable that Jones owe a duty of care to Henry? Again, the fact that Henry is Jones's employee is probably conclusive on this point. It would be difficult for Jones to argue that it would somehow be unfair, unjust or unreasonable for him to owe a duty of care to an employee who is working for him (or leaving the building after completing his work).
Assuming Jones was negligent — either in allowing the sales floor to be wet while the sales assistants were on the premises or by failing to take adequate measures to prevent Henry from walking onto the wet floor — was his negligence a cause of Henry's accident and injury?
It seems fairly clear that it was. Polished stone floors are slippery when they're wet, and it's unlikely that Henry would have slipped and fallen if the floor had been dry or if he had gone out the rear exit with the rest of the employees.
Of course, Jones may argue that Henry walked right past a "wet floor" warning sign when he walked onto the sales floor, and ignored Jones's express instruction to leave the building through the rear exit. This, Jones might also say, means Henry was contributively negligent, since a reasonable person would have taken heed of the warning and not risked injury by going onto the wet floor.
Jones's claim that Henry was contributively negligent has some merit, but it is weakened somewhat by his knowledge that Henry has a hearing impairment — it is a principle of negligence law that the defendant must take the claimant as he finds him, so Jones bore the risk that Henry did not hear his instruction to leave via the rear door.
Getting help
Even though Henry's case against Jones seems fairly good, Jones (or his insurer) still has several arguments to make, which could have a major impact on the court's decision. In cases like this, having an experienced solicitor who specialises in personal injury cases can make the world of difference.
And, depending on your situation, you may be able to find a solicitor who will agree to take your case on a "no win no fee" basis, which means you don't have to pay for the solicitor's services unless you win your case.

The 5¢ coin could be removed from circulation if some of the LNP faithful have their way.
Fireworks didn't get off the ground, so this year LNP members are hoping to convince the party faithful to support abolishing the 5¢ coin and moving Queensland's clocks forward by half an hour.
Attendees at the LNP annual conference will be asked to consider more than 80 ideas, ranging from calling on the federal government to mandate making all cigarette filters sold in Australia biodegradable by 2020 to axing the echidna from Australian currency.
The resolutions form part of a wish list compiled by the party's different branches, policy makers and groups, such as LNP Women and Young LNP, which are presented for vote at the annual convention and if they pass can help shape Coalition policy.
Last year the Young LNP wanted to revive cracker night.
That was rejected by the parliamentary party.
This year the group want the Commonwealth government to abolish the 5¢ coin "and remove it from circulation".
The Wide Bay branch would like to see phonics and rote learning of times tables returned to classrooms and made mandatory in all Queensland primary schools from Prep to Grade 5.
The Pumicestone branch, meanwhile, has urged the state government to split the difference on its refusal to support daylight savings and wind Queensland clocks 30 minutes forward on a permanent basis. It has also called on the federal government to convince New South Wales and Victoria to do the same in exchange for abandoning the summer time change.
The ABC has also made the agenda – Mermaid Beach would like it reviewed "with a view to disbanding and selling off those services and assets that are and can be provided by commercial organisations, while Hinkler LNP members want the media watchdog to note "the dissatisfaction with the ABC's upholding of the journalist charter" – specifically in respect of accuracy and guarding against bias.
But resolution 17, calling for biodegradable cigarette filters is expected to get support, having sprung forth from the party's policy standing committee.
The conference will run from Friday to Sunday in Brisbane and will feature both Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss as guest speakers.

Thats true. So what really needs to be done yet? Like by the looks of it, a Pokemon Stats Screen, PokeDex, and a finished Bag is all. Seeing as PokeGear Scripts are out there and I have them.
The only things I don't like is the Pokemon Selection Screen because it looks like Diamond and Pearl, not FR/LG/R/S/E. Also, the Name Input system isn't as nice as the one found in Blizzy's kit, so I'd like to see that get changed too.
Other than that everything looks awesome. The Computer System is excellent, and of course the Battle System is also awesome.

Obama: If Congress Drags Feet on Immigration Reform, I'll Insist They Vote on a Bill Based on My Proposals
In remarks on immigration reform moments ago, President Obama addressed the bipartisan framework that was announced yesterday.
Obama called the framework "encouraging," but stressed that "action must follow."
"We need Congress to act on a comprehensive approach that finally deals with the 11 million undocumented immigrants who are in the country right now," he said.
"If Congress is unable to move forward in a timely fashion, I will send a bill based on my proposal and insist that they vote on it right away."

Ibargüen comes well-equipped for the task of reinventing newspapers. He was a newspaper executive at the Hartford Courant, New York Newsday, and the Miami Herald, where, during his seven years as publisher, the newspaper won three Pulitzers and its profit margin rose from 18 to 22 percent in his first three years, a remarkable feat in an era of diminishing returns for newspapers. He was also an innovator at the Herald. As the paper's first Hispanic publisher, he turned the existing Spanish-language daily insert into a separate independent newspaper that reflected the different needs and interests of the Spanish community.
He did learn one lesson at the Miami Herald that informs his current efforts. "I spent a lot of time trying simply to transfer the print newspaper into the Web site, sort of like trying to make a movie of out of a book. That's not good enough," he says. "You need to come up with unique digital platforms."

MONDAY December 12
Awesome Argentina Tour
It was a bit cloudy with an occasional drizzle, but that did not deter the group. We arrived in the National Park and began our hike at Beagle Bay. Along the way Norbie shared with us information about the trees, birds, views, and history of the area and the park. The area was first populated as a penal colony and in the 1940's this began to change as world politics and sea access became more important. The government brought in industry and workers and the town began to grow quickly in size. We came to understand why the city was full of young people and not too many older people. The government offered financial incentives to the young workers, but not higher education, and good retirement money allowed older folks to move to more accessible and comfortable parts of Argentina. Norbie also entertained us with his wonderful and playful personality. We had a special morning tea break and was delighted when Norbie pulled out the thermoses of hot water for tea and coffee service. We continued our hike of about 4 hours enjoying the gentle trails, sea views, trees, and flowers with the snow capped Andes in the background. We ended the hike in a large picnic area of the park where lunch was being prepared for us. We found a tent set up with a table full of appetizers. We were all hungry and happily sat down to enjoy our meal and more conversation. Lunch was a wonderful chicken dish (tomato and cheese chicken papillotte) cooked on a fire outside. It was fantastic. Argentinean wine complimented our meal and we were one happy group!
After lunch the adventure continued with a canoe trip down the river. We had to don our water gear and life jackets. It was not easy to outfit three very petite ladies, and we were quite a sight in our gear, BUT we were safe! The group was divided into two canoes with Augustine steering one canoe and Norbie steering the other. We carried the canoes down the beach a ways to find some calmer water to enter. We each had a paddle and received short instructions on paddling technique. It was a beautiful paddle, the views were astonishing, the majesty and beauty surrounded us. We were lucky to see numerous different species of birds. We took time to quietly reflect and enjoy the very special time and place and give thanks to our good fortune of having been able to have this adventure.
We finished up our canoe trip and helped carry the canoes back to the truck that was waiting for us. We found ourselves at the end of the Rte 3 road which is the road that goes from Alaska to the tip of South America, a distance of 17,848 km!
We returned to our hotel and after a brief rest, headed back to town for shopping and more eating! We found lots of interesting shops, where folks were happy to help us understand the crafts and significance of some of the items. We then found Chetos restaurant which had been recommended by our guide and were not surprised to see our hiking buddies also there. It was a hard decision what to have, but Kathy ended up with delicious Fuegian trout, Carol Jo and Janet had King Crab. Again we were surprised how late it was since it was still so light outside.
We climbed the stairs back to our hotel and began to get ready for our next adventure. As we packed and showered, we found ourselves with some electrical problems despite use of a converter and adapter. Actually, we found ourselves in the dark a number of times. The staff quickly came to our rescue and we giggled ourselves to sleep grateful for a fantastic day and excited about what the morrow would bring.
