You can look for great houses...at Tamarindo beach...Flamingo beach...Potrero beach....Coco´s beach...Ocotal beach...all of them at Guanacaste province at the Northern side of our country...better to fly into LIR International Airpot...
Jaco beach...Playa Hermosa beach...Central Pacific...better to fly into SJO International Airport...
Manuel Antonio National PArk Area...Buena Vista Villas and Casas...Tulemar bungalows...Manuel Antonio Estates...better to fly into SJO International Airport...about 2.45 hours drive...or 30 minutes fligth!
Dominical and Uvita great beaches...some rip tides just ask locals...best to fly to SJO...and to Quepos by car or plane...just 45 minutes by car from Manuel Antonio...
Casas Bambuu...by Puerto Jimenez...best to fly to SJO then fly to Puerto Jimenez...get a 4x4 in PJ and drive for about 1 hour or even less ,,,incredible place located at Playa Matapalo...very much the last frontier of my lovely country and very close to Corcovado National Park...the largest Park in our park system!!
During the months of Sept and October the Caribbean side of my country...check Casa Caracola...incredible nice beaches around ...better to fly into SJO and drive about 4 hours...good road all the way!
Also at the Pacific, Puntarenas province at the tip of Nicoya Peninsula...Montezuma...Santa Tereza and Mal Pais...incredible nice houses around...best to fly into SJO and then rent a car...take a shuttle ...hire a driver...or just fly into Tambor beach...and drive to any one of those beaches about 45 minutes away...incredible nice for families and of course people that enjoy surfing...and some great rides to near by beaches or just relax by the beach !
You can drive from SJO to Puntarenas about 1.5 hours ...connect with Paquera Ferry...nice boat ride and from Paquera by Cobano way about 45 minutes to the beaches...lovely ferry ride...nice big a-c ferry good for many cars or buses!
Try VRBO. Their website has rental properties all over the country for a range of prices.
Try http://bluewaterpropertiesofcostarica.com/ for Tamarindo Flamingo area
Try http://www.milagrorentalscostarica.com for Hermosa Coco and Papagayo area.
Set aside a couple days for a trip to Palo Verde and Rincon de la Vieja Volcano.
Suggest you question is where to go and what beach houses are available there. Tell us more about what you'd expect and like to do in Costa Rica.
Roadadvisor gives a great summary of all of the wonderful beaches that Costa Rica has to offer, but each area is unique and has its own personality. What are the age breakdown of the six travelling? What are you looking to get out of your vacation? Are you more adventurous or do you prefer just lounging on the beach. I think you have a good chance of finding what you are looking for in Guanacaste, just narrow your ideal vacation down. Try Tamarindo, Flamingo, Samara, or Hermosa... Each have their own personality, but all are great beaches with great towns as well.
terry can help you
We used Blue Water properties when we stayed at the Diria and the Sunrise condos. They were very professional and helpful! They have properties in Tamarindo and Flamingo areas http://bluewaterpropertiesofcostarica.com
Tamarindo and the surrounding beaches are all good places to go. It's a mixture between a luxury vacation and still the quietness and kindness of our beautiful country.
We offer a lot of possibilities in Tamarindo and the nearby beaches. Look on: coastalrealtycostarica.com/all-costa-rica-re… or www.forrentcostarica.com or www.rentinflamingo.com
I have rented this house before and really enjoyed the stay:
You can choose from the main house with 2 bedrooms or the smaller guest house.

Outbound investments from India have undergone a considerable change not only in terms of magnitude but also in terms of geographical spread and sectorial composition. Analysis of the trends in direct investments over the last decade reveals that while investment flows, both inward and outward, were rather muted during the early part of the decade, they gained momentum during the latter half.
Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) from India stood at US$ 1.86 billion in the month of June 2016 as against US$ 2.69 billion in May 2016 and US$ 1.92 billion in June 2015.
There has been a perceptible shift in Overseas Investment Destination (OID) in last decade or so. While in the first half, overseas investments were directed to resource rich countries such as Australia, UAE, and Sudan, in the latter half, OID was channeled into countries providing higher tax benefits such as Mauritius, Singapore, British Virgin Islands, and the Netherlands.
Indian firms invest in foreign shores primarily through Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) transactions. With rising M&A activity, companies will get direct access to newer and more extensive markets, and better technologies, which would enable them to increase their customer base and achieve a global reach.
India has emerged as one of the strongest performers in the deal-street across the world in mergers and acquisitions.
India's Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) dropped to US$ 1.86 billion in July 2016, as against US$ 2.3 billion in July 2015. According to the data provided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), outward investments in equity, loan and guaranteed issue stood at US$ 610.87 million, US$246.51 million and US$ 1 billion in the given month.
In a recent development, UK announced that India has become the third largest source of FDI for them as investments increased by 65 per cent in 2015 leading to over 9,000 new and safeguarded jobs.
Some of the major overseas investments by Indian companies were:
The Reserve Bank of India, encouraged by adequate forex reserves, has relaxed the norms for domestic companies investing abroad by doing away with the ceiling for raising funds through pledge of shares, domestic and overseas assets. In addition to joint ventures (JVs) and wholly owned subsidiaries (WOSs), the central bank has announced similar concessions for pledging of shares in case of step down subsidiary.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) also liberalised/ rationalised guidelines for foreign investments abroad by Indian companies. It raised the annual overseas investment ceiling to US$ 125,000 from US$ 75,000 to establish joint ventures (JV) and wholly owned subsidiaries. The government's supportive policy regime complemented by India Inc.'s experimental outlook could lead to an upward trend in outward foreign direct investment (FDI) in future.
The Union Cabinet has approved a proposal to provide US$ 150 million credit from Export Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) for the development of Chabahar Port in Iran, which will also help India to facilitate the growing trade and investment with Iran and other countries in the region.
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, has given its approval for the framework of inter-governmental memorandum of understanding (MoU) which will be finalised by the Government of India and Iran.
The RBI has relaxed norms for foreign investment by Indian corporates by raising the borrowing limit. The financial commitment to be undertaken by an Indian party will be limited to within 400 per cent compared to the earlier 100 per cent of the company's net worth.
The RBI has also allowed limited liability partnership (LLP) firms to undertake financial commitment to/ on behalf of JV or wholly owned subsidiaries of Indian companies abroad.
The Indian government is making efforts to integrate the country's economy with the rest of the world. To help the country's firms raise capital abroad, the government will facilitate unlisted Indian companies to list on foreign markets without having to be publicly traded on domestic exchanges.
India and South Africa are considering prospect of setting up a joint venture (JV) for mining and owning coal blocks in South Africa.
Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi has promised Africa a concessional credit of US$ 10 billion over the next five years, in order to further strengthen ties with the African countries.
Overseas investment is one of the foremost steps to enter the global marketplace and in recent times, India has taken necessary steps to make its presence felt in the global arena. Investment outlook in some of the overseas market looks positive. For instance, the Indian industry is projected to increase its revenue from Africa. Information technology (IT) services, infrastructure, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods are vital to India boosting Africa revenues to US$ 160 billion by 2025, as per McKinsey & Co.
In another development, the Ministry of External Affairs has initiated a move to set up a direct sea and air link between India and the Latin American region, as Indian corporates plan significant investments in the mining, oil, IT and pharmaceutical sectors in that region.

There she was and there I was and there we were,
but Fogelberg and Chapin wrote it first and maybe better,
old love and the ghosts of Christmas past.
Songs are more forgiving than poems.
Slow the tempo and drop the key.
The clock twists backwards and slows,
caught in a relived moment that died in the moment
and took a piece of me with it.
The poet has only words and no music,
while life is such a sad song and sadder still,
when you can't hum the tune.
There she was and there I was and there we were,
ten years vanished in the air with no idea where they went,
a sweet monument to victory over myself
and walking away from problems I could not cure,
stepping over the snare, backing out of the unsprung trap
while the Who sang, won't get caught again.
Call it selfish, call it self centered, call it self preservation,
I couldn't save us both.
I wish I could have kept you.
Why didn't you?
My brain locks in mid-spin.
I don't remember the one hundred reasons, good reasons, everyone.
My drinking, right?
Not one hundred, just one.
There she was and there I was and there we were,
ten years captured in a word.
Thrown out, dried out and tried out was what it took
to solve your problem and I had the solution all the time.
My gift to the world.
There she was and there I was and there we were,
married to different people and beautiful baby pics on a cell phone.
Once, just once, I wished another man's child was mine.
There were one hundred reasons.
I remembered them all before the morning.

Astronaut Scott Kelly may be drawing most of the world's attention, but he's not the only American to recently return to Earth after a stint aboard the International Space Station. Flight engineer Kjell Lindgren spent five months up there and returned in December. And—just to make sure you don't forget it—he's tapping into the most fearsome wellspring of power science has at its disposal: the devastating cuteness of kindergarteners.
In this video, Lindgren brings all of his finely-honed, NASA-sponsored scientific expertise to bear on burning questions like, "Have you seen an alien? Because I really want to see a picture of one."
Now, if this video was a Q&A with adults, it probably would have looked something like this:
"So, Kjell, what was it like to spend a year in space?"
"That wasn't me."
"How is your health different from your twin?"
"…Again, that's the other guy.""
But for Lindgren, the great thing about kindergarteners is that they don't really know or care who Scott Kelly is. For the rest of us, it's that their giddy enthusiasm for science (and life in general) is adorable. And that they'll ask the obvious questions we all secretly wonder about.
Lindgren's not bad either: In the span of three minutes, he jumps from the Aurora Borealis to a recipe for astronaut cheeseburgers that sounds like something a drunk frat boy would come up with. So whether you're here for cute kids or to discreetly figure out how the ISS stays aloft, this clip should do the trick.

Although she may be expecting her second baby, petite mom Nicole Richie proves that a classic outfit can be flattering on anyone. Yes, we admit that most of us moms could never wear her size, but every mom (tiny to curvy) can benefit from a classic, feminine outfit for summer.
* 1 – 2 Seconds: Choose a dress that flatters your shape by "flowing" over wider areas and accentuating your smaller points(collarbones, bust line or a petite waist). If choosing a maxi dress like Nicole, it's important to try on a variety of different sizes… the dress should show your silhouette without hiding your shape in fabric.
* 3 – 4 Seconds: Since summer isn't here just yet, try layering this dress with a relaxed, well-fitting denim jacket. It's a classic staple that you will use for years (and it can cover up bigger arms or hide nursing-bra straps).
* 5 Seconds: The key to pulling this simple look together is choosing accessories that look fresh and clean. Skip faded flip-flops or beat up sandals in favor of petite, ornate flats, and top everything off with corresponding jewelry (like long earrings or stacked bracelets).
Want us to help you get your favorite outfit in 5 seconds or less? Speak up and let us know!

Guide Request: Solo Leveling Guide for BLM or WHM : FFXI General Discussions
Posted: April 17th, 2006, 10:07 pm
duo7700's Reps:
As the topic stated, looking for a Solo guide for leveling BLM or WHM, preferably to 75, but, whatever.
I looked around for a few days and I haven't found any solo guides for any of the basic jobs until you get to the later levels (50+).
I just despise looking for parties in the dunes, and qufim... So, Any one know how to solo from 1-75?
Posted: April 18th, 2006, 5:48 pm
coryj's Reps:
Soloing whm to 75 would probably take years... I say this as a 75 WHM who has to battle for several minutes against an EP-- (yields about 12 XP). Maybe whm/nin would make 74-75 a bit quicker.
My suggestion: level beastmaster. It sucks for a bit but after 35 it is incredibly fun and the XP isnt too slow. I am 44 BST now... I partied through the dunes and qufim (BST/NIN is as good as war/nin til 30). Jug pets in parties make you a phenomenal DD. I don't wanna say the basic jobs 'cant' solo, but its not whats intended.

duo7700's Reps:
Well, I still need to get to the level for the adv job quests.
I just never have luck with parties (had rather). I think and solo guide for a basic job would do, as long as it isn't warrior. I can't keep the aggro... I always forget about it...

blm and whm are probably the more PT friendly jobs out there already at your level. if you can't get PT these 2 jobs you better play something else. other jobs

thehurlster654's Reps:
If you really want to get to 75 fast be a brd. You will get pt invites like a beast and you will not have to worry about seeking for very long.

yeah jus gets rough pre ballad II, lot of slow retarded parties and occasional kicks for rdms

slaymoon's Reps:
the easiest mobs for BLM to solo
the pets
low HP and more EXP
thats wat im thinking
but this 1 just to lvl 68
Posted: April 28th, 2006, 11:03 am
falradain's Reps:
If your looking to get whm up faster then try makeing a bones party, they could start out at lv65 in Gustav tunnel if im not mistaking, then they can move to KRT to 75. Its probally fastest way to level whm, but as for soloing as a whm. I don't think thats really a good idea. I have a 75 whm and hated leveling it. Still dont know why i even bothered with it.

I dunno about that. At lower levels i didnt get fast invites but as higher levels it would go a bit faster. I'd say things will pick up around level 45 or so.
Posted: April 28th, 2006, 8:42 pm
thehurlster654's Reps:
Yeah at the mid levels and up brd can level like a beast.

sauron2's Reps:
Do not solo anything but BST to 75. Best you can do otherwise is use Exp Scrolls (lol).
Posted: May 11th, 2006, 10:50 pm
gunslinger74's Reps:
I've heard quite a bit about Puppetmaster being able to solo quite well too so that could be another option
. Also Dragoon and Summoner can solo half decently too but no where near the lvl of beastmaster
Posted: May 12th, 2006, 5:51 am
alex2001's Reps:
Whites cant Solo for xp it would take forever they dont have the Damage to kill things fast enough to be worth it.
Bl is possible but does take a bit of skill.

A Chinese auto parts conglomerate that wants to buy failed electric-vehicle manufacturer Fisker Automotive says it would build next-generation Fisker cars in Delaware if there is sufficient consumer demand.
Wanxiang Group outlined its intentions in a court filing late Wednesday as it pushes for a competitive auction of Fisker's remaining assets.
California-based Fisker, which had planned to build cars at the former General Motors plant in Delaware, filed for bankruptcy protection in November. The move culminated a long, downward spiral that began after Fisker received a $529 million loan commitment from the Department of Energy.

A Virginia appeals court recently ruled that a waiter who was injured at work while attempting to swallow "a piece of quesadilla that was too big for his esophagus" can not collect worker's comp benefits.
Court of Appeals of Virginia in Richmond ruled on July 17 that the injury — esophageal perforation and collapsed lung — occurred in the course of the waiter's employment but not as a result of an actual risk of employment, affirming an earlier finding by the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission.
In 2010, claimant Michael Bernard worked as a host and waiter at a local TGI Friday's restaurant, according to court documents. Part of his work responsibilities was to make food recommendations to the guests.
To that end, the employer periodically conducted food tasting demonstration programs to introduce staff to new menu items. Staff would then be able to describe the taste to customers and to recommend the new menu items.
These tastings were at no cost to the employees and occurred while employees were "on the clock." While attendance at the food tasting activities is mandatory, no employee is required to eat anything they do not want to eat.
The Workers' Compensation Commission also found that Bernard "was not required to taste anything" and "did not anticipate being disciplined" if he chose not to sample the food.
In January 2010, Bernard sampled a quesadilla. Though he had never before had problems swallowing food, Bernard choked on a partially chewed bite of the quesadilla. It lodged in his throat and perforated his esophagus.
Claimant was taken to an emergency room and was diagnosed with esophageal perforation and collapsed lung. He underwent emergency surgery.
Bernard filed a worker's compensation claim, contending the injury occurred in the course of his employment and arose out of an actual risk of his employment. He did not allege the quesadilla was unusual or defective in any way. Bernard has had Crohn's disease since childhood, but he did not claim, nor did the evidence prove, that some peculiar quality of the quesadilla triggered his underlying Crohn's disease.
Bernard conceded he "attempted to swallow a piece of quesadilla that was too big for his esophagus." But he argued that the incident should be covered by the workers' compensation statute because TGIF "provided" the quesadilla and "encouraged" him to eat it.
The court noted that his injury occurred in the course of his employment — but the court also pointed out that his failure to fully chew the quesadilla did not arise out of his employment.
The court stated that the Workers' Compensation Act applies when the claimant "satisfies both the 'arising out of' and the 'in the course of' prongs of the statutory requirements of compensability.
The concepts 'arising out of' and 'in the course of' employment are not synonymous and both conditions must be proved before compensation will be awarded, the Virginia appeals court ruled.
The case is BERNARD v. CARLSON COMPANIES TGIF, Record No. 2590–11–2, July 17, 2012.

Cafe Sierra inside Universal Hilton- best seafood buffet in CA!
555 Universal Terrace Parkway
Universal City, CA 91608
Two weeks ago, Boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday, with our yearly tradition: going to my favorite restaurant in CA, Cafe Sierra at Universal Hilton. Friday through Sunday only, Cafe Sierra breaks away from their traditional dinner menu and offers a wonderful seafood buffet. If you love seafood and chinese food, this is the place to go! The seafood is plentiful and the food is of higher quality than typical buffets. The buffet is not called a chinese buffet, but there is definitely a lot of chinese influences in the dishes served. Cafe Sierra doesn't allow pictures and it was hard to sneak them in since there were so many employees mulling around. So, sorry, not many pictures for this place. I'll give an overview of the food offerings though, and some pictures of the food I took on my plate.
The set-up is interesting. A lot of the food is spread outside of the restaurant, letting guests entering the Universal Hilton drool at the offerings. To the right of the restaurant, spread close to the lobby area is a display of cold seafood items. Here you will find shrimp cocktail, large oysters, dungeness crab legs and king crab legs.
For me, the highlight here are the king crab legs. King crab legs, not to be mistaken with snow crab legs, which are often served at buffets. King crab legs are much bigger than snow crab legs, much longer in size and very spiky. Cafe Sierra not only offers an abundant display of cold king crab legs, but they conveniently slice them in half, meaning no work on your part! Just take your fork and dig in! I find it odd though that they slice up the King crab legs, but they serve shrimps with shell-on and they don't do anything to the dungeness crab legs. Oh well.
To the left of the restaurant (still outside the seating area), you will find carving stations and other hot food items. I'll try to remember as much as I can. First, there is a sushi station. Here, you can get handrolls. They also have sashimi and sushi rolls. There is a carving station that offers prime rib, lamb, ribs and lobster. They also offer an assortment of breads, rice, some grilled vegetable dishes. They also have small, soft hot pretzels. They also have a kebab station that has lamb, beef. There are some hot dim sum items such as shrimp har gow and pork shui mai. They also have shark fin soup and clam chowder. They also have some hummus and pita bread.
The highlights for me here are the carving station and the shark fin soup. The prime rib is usually pretty good and not too well done, like other buffets. Unfortunately, there is no au jus sauce. They only have a steak sauce, and horseradish and jelly.
The lamb is very flavorful. The ribs are dry so I don't usually get them. The lobster offered are the smaller, spiny lobsters.
The inside is cooked with a mushroom cream sauce, a big improvement on the mayonnaise concoction I've tasted at chinese and japanese buffets. Unlike the chinese buffets I've been to, you don't have to fight for the lobster here. Yes, the server only gives you one at a time, but there is always plenty of lobster all night long.
The shark fin soup is the other big highlight. Boyfriend and I love, love the shark fin soup! It's cooked with shredded crab meat, creating a very rich, seafood tasting soup. The shark fin is not the expensive kind, but it tastes real and the soup tastes yummy. Best of all, it's served with red vinegar! Which is how the soup traditionally should be eaten with, rather than the white or black vinegar I see offered sometimes.
So, now we are finally making our way to the host podium, where you wait to be seated. Right in front of the podium is a very large fruit display, which I call the "exotic fruit display" because they don't use the typical fruits, but use more expensive ones. There are usually white peaches, tiny d'anjou pears, tiny bananas, pluots, white nectarines, a bowl of dates, kumquats, and whatever else is in season (I've seen pomegranates in the winter). The fruits are unwashed but available to take, so usually people just grab some fruit as they are exiting.
Finally, we get to the inside of the restaurant. Here, you will find more hot entrees, salads, and desserts.
There is a row dividing the middle of the restaurant which has variou
s salads and hot entrees. Normally I would skip the salads, but the salads here are full of seafood and other yummy goodies. They are more like ceviche type salads. One is clams pieces with cilantro and some tomatoes.
Another salad is with octopus.
They also have a scallop salad; a mango, apple fruit salad; jellyfish and seaweed salad.
Some of the hot entrees consist of creamed corn, korean short ribs, mussels in curry sauce, mashed potatoes, and some other ones I can't remember.
Then there is another station which seems to be an "everything station." Basically, it's like they didn't have room, so they put everything else here. You will find smoked salmon and prosciutto here. You will also find peking duck with shrimp chips, shrimp with candied walnuts, seafood curry, fresh cut fruits and some dessert items like creme brulee, chocolate mousse, bread pudding. I like the shrimp with candied walnuts. The walnuts are crispy, and the shrimp are big and don't have too much mayonnaise.
Finally, there is the dessert stations. And there is so much to choose from! They have a variety of cakes, mango flan, cookies.
The mango flan is pretty yummy. I also like how pretty some of their cakes are. Like the one below, it has a chocolate layer outside that looks like a wrapper, but is made of chocolate.
They also have chocolate fountains!! I have tried many chocolate fountains, but the ones at Cafe Sierra are the best ones I've had. The chocolate is always flowing and not getting stuck. Also, the consistency of the chocolate is amazing. It's smooth and liquidy when in the fountain, but hardens almost immediately after touching your plate! Usually smooth, liquidy chocolate means there is a lot of oil put into it, and then it won't harden after. (I speak from experience of trying to recreate the chocolate fountain during parties at my house.) I'm not sure how Cafe Sierra managed to find the right balance, but they have. To dip in the chocolate, they offer huge strawberries, a variety of fruit on sticks, and marshmallows. Boyfriend and I like the strawberries.
If you like ice cream for dessert, Cafe Sierra gives you many choices here as well! You can choose from soft serve with sugar cones ( I love sugar cones), or mini Haagen Daaz cups, or ice cream sandwiches or other ice cream bars. They have a small freezer full of ice cream bars. Yum! They also have some icy drinks available in the dessert section that I've never tried.
Finally, they serve cotton candy! Now this may not seem like a big deal, but apparently it is. You know how I said you don't have to fight for the lobster and other yummy foods at Cafe Sierra? Well you do have to fight for the cotton candy! People are always looking out for the cotton candy, and as soon as some fresh ones are made and put out, they are immediately taken. I don't know what is it about the cotton candy. Perhaps it's the fact that you never see such an item offered at a restaurant. Perhaps it brings out childhood memories. All I know is that kids and adults alike grab this stuff and almost every customer leaves with cotton candy in hand. The cotton candies come in blue and pink. On this trip, Boyfriend was only able to grab pink. Usually, Boyfriend and I will finish these on the drive home. It's amazing that no matter how full we are, there is room for the cotton candy. It never lasts the whole ride home.

I just know that europe needs to wait till november for wave 2, not sure about the rest of the world but I guess it's the same but maybe earlier in november. And we can be pretty sure about wave two because some retailers already listed it and they do not know about wave 3. So the other listed figures can only be wave 2. In addition we know that there will be Double Pack 3 and 4 with boom jet + night shift and grilla drilla + fire kraken.
There are still a couple of online shops with the full W2 list. German, I'm sorry: http://www.buecher.de/go/searc.../paging-bottom/

Drug War might arguably be [To's] best film for this reason—it doesn't attempt to raise the stakes on its genre, but instead fully exploits what's there, piecing together an elaborate narc campaign tale out of classic clichés and tight-knot plotting, and letting the disaster of balls-out crime make its own statement.
In Drug War, Hong Kong genre master Johnnie To gives a superlative lesson on how to give an updated, thoroughly engrossing twist to the classic cops-and-robbers chase.

The monadloc package
This package defines a class for monads which can keep a monadic call trace.
See the blog post http://pepeiborra.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/monadic-stack-traces-that-make-a-lot-of-sense for more information.
A preprocessor is available (see the package monadloc-pp) which inserts calls to Control.Monad.Loc.withLoc before every monadic statement in a module. To invoke the preprocessor, add the pragma OPTIONS_GHC -F -pgmF MonadLoc at the top of your Haskell files together with an import for the Control.Monad.Loc module
This package provides no implementation of the Control.Monad.Loc.MonadLoc interface. Currently the only package that does so is control-monad-exception, but any other package can implement it and provide monadic call traces. Changes:
0.7 - Extracted Template Haskell macro to separate module to allow Control.Monad.Loc to be Safe. (thanks to Deian Stefan)
0.6 - Extracted the preprocessor to a separate package monadloc-pp to minimize the set of dependencies.

I've been a web developer for a couple years now. I think I know about as much HTML and CSS as I'll ever need to know. At least for a while. I know there are always more CSS and HTML developments. And my Javascript is passable, I always find a way to do what I need. Same with PHP.
But now I want to look into more advanced things, like Python, Java, or C++. How do you have these technologies interact with a website? What are things done with them? Any standards uses?
Any info would be helpful before I start going on a Google-spree.
@TheDoc, I'm still learning, but I'd like to broaden my learning by at least being farmiliar with other technologies.
@Chandra, I know (even though PHP has some issues).
@senff, I only say that because I can HTML/CSS pretty much any site that I need to at work. There is always little CSS things I discover from time to time and of course there's the new HTML5 elements that I'm still learning.
I guess my point is… why bother knowing a tiny bit of a lot of languages/technologies when you can master a few that can get the majority of things done. Unless you plan on building apps, there's no need to venture into the territories that you mentioned above, *especially* if you haven't mastered simple programming languages like PHP and JS.
It's not necessarily so I can build stand alone projects on my own. It's so I can be familiar with other peoples code and communicate properly with those who right them when our goals overlap.
Unless you want to venture into software programming, I would just stick with languages that help you build amazing websites. In my opinion, stick with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Django, things like that.

It's not necessarily so I can build stand alone projects on my own. It's so I can be familiar with other peoples code and communicate properly with those who right them when our goals overlap.
This goal will be much better served by learning one language very well than by having "passable" skills in several (or any number) of languages.
Given 1) a skilled programmer who's never even heard of the language I use, and 2) one who is basically a "beginner" in every language under the sun, I can say without hesitation that I'd pick Programmer #1 every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
Even if he didn't use deodorant.
Focus on PHP, JS, CSS, SQL and HTML. Thats all you need for just about anything spectacular on the web these days. And if you can write/read those inside and out, picking up a new language doesn't take as long. You'll have the concepts down, just some syntax studying and some practice.

If you're yet to sign up for an online streaming service, then Extant, the glossy new Steven Spielberg-exec produced sci-fi series, may be the one that lures you in. Episodes will be available on Amazon Prime Instant Video one day after they're first broadcast in the US.
Oscar winner Halle Berry stars as Molly Woods, an astronaut who's recently completed a 13-month solo space mission for her private employers, the Yasumoto Corp. Upon her return, a routine medical examination reveals Molly is pregnant, which mathematically astute viewers will realise should be impossible. This also means that Molly's got some 'splainin to do with her husband John (ER heart-throb Goran Visnjic) and young son Ethan (Pierce Gagnon).
For the moment, though, John is busy with his own sinister baby-making project. He's seeking funding for a new race of androids, or "humanics", and anyone who questions the wisdom of this endeavour gets the same emotive response: his son Ethan is the prototype, and he's so adorable, what could possibly go wrong? When John loses his cool during the presentation – as mad scientists are wont to do – one interested party remains: the shadowy Hideki Yasumoto of Yasumoto Corp.
Sci-fi fans will recognise familiar themes here: robot insurrection, alien insemination and over-ambitious medical research, but if this series makes good on the pilot's most intriguing threads, it should evolve into Rosemary's Baby meets Alien meets Homeland. Molly feels uneasy, but is it her home that's changed? Or is it Molly?
For viewers also, the world of Extant is at once familiar and strange. The metallic spacesuits of Sixties sci-fi and the disturbing dystopias of the Eighties are both gone. Instead, Extant gives us a near-future that's very much like our present – only more beige. That's in keeping with cinema's current trend, but if Extant is to be the TV series that helps Amazon rival Netflix, the characters, at least, will have to develop more colour.

e-mail:Smokey X. Digger
Resident Evil2002, Dir. Paul Anderson
Starring: |
Of course I went to go see Resident Evil. I couldn't resist. Surprisingly, it was a damn good thing I did go because I enjoyed it thoroughly. While far from a gutmunching splatterfest, it worked well as a horror movie, an action movie, a video game adaptation, and as a zombie movie. Here's why, with potential spoiler material in yellow font. Don't say I don't take care of you.
1. Milla Jovovich
2. Nihilism.
3. The Game
3. Zombies, etc.
4. A Plot
5. Matrixesque stuff kept to a minimum.
1. Why so loud?
2. Weird editing
3. Shallow characters
Looking at the film from a pros and cons prespective, things teeter towards the pros side of the scale. It had plenty of those modern touches that bug the hell out of me, but it was worth enduring for a new zombie movie on the big screen in 2002. I managed to put my preconceptions aside and have an enjoyable experience at the movies, something that rarely happens anymore. If you're a zombie / horror buff who's swearing not to see this movie on whatever grounds, just suck it up and go. You may not be doing backflips out of the theater, but you won't be disappointed.

I'm planning a day trip
So I figured he can just take me to the Flint Hills in the car. That'll be about half the price of the bus tour, but I still get to celebrate my birthday in a suitable manner. Today I'm mapping out our route.
Cliff has never been a big fan of the state of Kansas, but we both like museums. There seem to be plenty of museums in those small towns in the Flint Hills. Maybe that will win him over. We may not go north into Manhattan as shown on the map. Smaller towns sound like more fun to me.
There is a sort of museum in Alta Vista, the Ag Heritage Park, that is a personal collection of old farm-related items. Sounds like something we would both enjoy. You call the owners if they aren't on the premises, and they show you around. We saw a collection like that in Iowa a couple of years ago that was well worth the time spent.
I thought about taking a picnic along, but I think it would be more fun to eat at the Hays House in Council Grove. It was built in 1857 by the town's first settler, Seth Hays, and is regarded as the oldest continuously operating restaurant west of the Mississippi River.
I hope we'll learn something about a state that we are prone to think of as nothing more than an ordeal we have to suffer through to get to Colorado. Friend Meesha blogged about visiting the Flint Hills, if you want to see what he has to say about it.

Hate to say it, but I've never had a desire to visit Kansas. But then I never wanted to go to Wisconsin or Missouri and we ended up there for gymnastics. I enjoyed something about each place we went!! (except CA freeways-OH,MY GOSH) CO is pretty hard to beat. Hope your birthday trip is interesting and special!

I've wanted to see more of the Flint Hills since first passing through the edge of them on the way to Texas in 1979.
Then I read PrairyErth by William Least Heat-Moon and I REALLY wanted to spend time in Chase County, Kansas.
One of my all-time favorite books is set in the Flint Hills - Firebird by Janice Graham. I hope you have a nice trip and a great birthday. - 8:04 PM

Looks like you have a fun filled trip lined up there.

I'm glad that you are going to do what you want for your birthday. And yes, you should eat out. It's your special day after all.

It is imperative that any sprites uploaded to the Archives (and subsequently edited into Bulbapedia) are made tarnsparent. Transparency means that there is no white block around the image; the image's background automatically becomes whatever color is behind it. Single-color transparency and Alpha channel transparency are simple functions easily accessed on programs such as GIMP and Jasc Paint Shop. LordArceus 18:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- ...and people should also remember that when they make the sprites transparent, that does not mean only the outer part. I don't remember if all sprites are OK when it comes to Bulbapedia, but many tend to forget the white background not connected to the image edges. Also, Gen III sprites of Shedinja must have an intact crescent thingie; it is often broken since one of the used colors is white. UltimateSephiroth (user · talk · contrib) 18:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- On that note: when setting transparency, find the value for "Tolerance" and set it to 0. This will cause the program to turn colors with exactly the same RGB values as the color you selected transparent. If the tolerance is high, the program may include some of the sprite in its transparency. LordArceus 18:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- A bit late, I know, but I was wondering if I should go through the Pokemon pages and remove the white backgrounds from the sprites. If so, what should I do for something like Mankey's sprites, which only take up the least space possible, and are smaller than some of the other sprites? Should I expand them to fill the same area? If so, how should I align them (eg. four pixels from the left and bottom edges, like Vaporeon, or center the sprite)? Goldenpoke111 18:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

The only sprites I can't find in a usable resource are Emerald shiny animations. Does anyone know a resource site with these animations? Actually, I can't find the Japanese Red Version sprites either. Anybody? LordArceus 21:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- (sorry, not shiny animations! ignore that)
- Also, I think I may add myself to this project.. But I have a problem as well. I was trying to reupload a sprite because I fixed the transparency issue.. but It wouldn't let me upload it? A weird error comes up. [[User:Snowrunt|Snowrunt]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|♥]] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|♥]] 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)User:Snowrunt
- Your signiture is scary. Please make sure that all the coding is correct and that the raw signiture box is checked in your preferences (I think that's the problem). Anyway, is the error you're talking about "another version of this image exists?" If so, just choose to upload anyway. If that isn't what it is, take a screenshot or something so I can see what you mean. LordArceus 14:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Blurriness Issue
I've worked on 3 sprites for Gligar- the shiny backsprite, which was done completely on my part, and appears perfectly. Then there's the non-shiny front and back sprites- originally uploaded by someone else, I transparified them and resized them to specifications, and while they appear fine on their archive pages, they are stretched and blurry on Gligar's sprite chart. What is the cause of this, and how can I remedy this? I thought that I could help SpriteDex with screen capturing and Photoshop, but it seems to be backfiring with me finding a problem at every corner. -Stephen93 21:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- It's either the slow cache at Bulbapedia or it's your own browser cache. If you use Firefox, hold Shift key down and click the refresh button (or press Ctrl-F5) whenever you come across a blurry sprite. I'd remember it was Ctrl + click on the refresh button in IE, but I'm not sure. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 21:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Ranger sprites
Although I know that it's posible to see them from many angles, perhaps we should get the sprites from their Browser entries?--MisterE13 03:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Absolutely. If you find any good resource for Ranger and/or Shadows of Almia, post it under the External Links/Resources. If we have sprites from the Pinball games, we should have sprites from the Ranger games. LordArceus 18:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I have some experience with game image extraction
And I mean directly from the game files. Provided the files aren't encrypted or compressed. I can provide my own illegal copyright infringement. I'm unreliable though (and I mean I will spontaneously forget everything about it, and it would be hard to get me back on track). If you care to annoy me by instant messenger, just try my obvious screen names for A/M/Y (Hotmail, as a hint for the middle one).
It will be infinitely easier than trying to teach myself decompression algorithms using the game's assembly code (which I'm doing for one game right now). --Raijinili 05:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- If ever we absolutely have to, then maybe. But the problem with Bulbapedia's sprites is not that we can't find them online, it's just that people upload them the wrong size, w/o transparency, etc. LordArceus 02:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

TCG Sprites
I guess I should bring this up here... Uploaded some TCG 1 sprites to the archive. Check them out here and here. It's about half of the booster packs and a few of the missing character portraits. Most are tagged. Don't know if you guys have specifications, but I categorized them anyways. I'll put the other half soon. One last thing... If the bulleted chart thing on the category page disagrees with you, try to keep them on for a while, because it aids with the organization. Thanks. Kusanagi87 16:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Finished the TCG 1 card sprites.

I don't know if this how accurate it is. I think the head is supposed to be more stationary. I'll fix that soon. Kusanagi87 00:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- Well, in an attempt to increase my standing as a Bulbapedia administrator so I can survive the probation I'm on and pass the review involved, I have to confess my biggest sin of my Bulbapedia career. Many of our HeartGold/SoulSilver sprites, I swiped them from Veekun. Yep, there wasn't really that much blood, sweat, and tears involved outside of the work actually done by Veekun.
- I really don't know what the methods Veekun uses are, however...--Shiningpikablu252 03:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

i am not a participatent of the project, but i want to feedback that not all sprites are DIRECTLY in the center. some of the sprites that are uploaded are directly in the center, which should not be right. if not they will be floating in the game. -Pokeant 03:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Wrong Image Format
I'm not a member of the project, but I have no idea where to put this, but I've noticed your supposed animated Black and White are actually ever going to be animated under a png image format. png image format doesn't support animated images, plus I'm not sure why they weren't under a gif image format similar to the Crystal and Emerald sprites to begin with, but regardless, you claim that animated png images don't work under certain browsers, but they don't work under any browser. I'm really sorry for saying this, but honestly, it really needed to be said. Oh, and this should also go for other supposed animated png image files as well. And again, I'm sorry, but something needed to be said. Sinjoh (talk) 19:44, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you think .apngs don't work on any browser. I just checked on Firefox, which isn't even a browser I normally use, and they work fine, so that part is true. Anyways, .apngs are the standard across the site, so this isn't really the best place to take up this problem. A better place would be the Bulbawiki forum, or by messaging someone who is part of the editorial board. --It's Funktastic~! (talk) 20:12, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
A few questions before I begin the task I've assigned myself
As I've stated when I added myself to the project list, I intend to fix all sprites from the first two generations, by directly ripping from the ROM itself rather than relying on external resources. However, I have some questions before I can proceed.
1. What is the correct orientation of sprites from Generation I? Should they all face the viewer, or should they be in their pose they would be if you encountered them in the wild? While this is usually the same way, certain sprites, like Pinsir and Tauros from Red/Blue, actually face away from the player when found in the wild.
2. What is the correct palette to use? This question covers pretty much every sprite from Generation I. The Japanese Red and Green versions Super Gameboy palettes are nearly identical, except that Red uses a very light pinkish color as it's brightest (neither use pure white), where as Green uses a very light greenish color. Thankfully, Japanese Blue/International Red/Blue all use the same pinkish color. Yellow version (except the Japanese versions), on the other hand, has both a Super Gameboy palette and a Gameboy color palette (which are nearly identical except in brightness). And finally, which of these four palettes should be applied to the back sprites?
3. How does the conversion from 15-bit color to 24-bit color go? For example, the "very light pinkish" color I talked about before is defined as "R 31/31, G 29/31, B 31/31". Should we:
- 1. Directly shift on 3 empty bits (or multiply each by 8 for people who don't understand bitshifts). That would result in "R 248/255, G 232/255, B 248/255".
- 2. Add one, do the shifting (or multiplying), then subtract one. This has the added advantage of preserving percentage correctly (15/31 would turn into 127/255 instead of 120/255, where 15/31 and 127/255 are usually considered 50%). That would result in "R 255/255, G 239/255, B 255/255".
4. How do I determine the arbitrary transparency requirement with any sort of degree of consistency? Most of these are fairly easy. Others, like Diglett and Gastly (R/B) are fairly straightforward but extremely time consuming (although the neither of them here now actually make all the pixels transparent that I would have thought). But some, like Moltres (R/G), don't have any sort of standardization rules that I could think of to follow. I could probably argue for an eternity whether the pixels at 42, 25 and 42, 26 should or shouldn't be transparent or not, and anyone who gets the concept could easily argue the opposite. What am I to do in this situation?
For now, because of the amount of questions I have on just Generation I, I'm going to only focus on that before I start work on Generation II. Hopefully, if someone can shed some light on these, I can begin the process of ripping and properly converting these.
Thanks. Stag019 (talk) 08:12, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Let me get this straight....
So I'm pretty sure that one of the main goals of Project SpriteDex is to replace all of the stationary Pokémon sprites in Gen V. with animated ones, which includes Pokémon from Gen. I-V. Am I correct in my assumption? Pikachu9000 20:53, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Someone ripped some sprites from X/Y
I have no earthly clue how to add these to the site, but a couple sources have ripped the sprites of pokemon from the X/Y games when you view them in your roster. It's been bugging me that Pokemon have question marks instead of their images.
I'm linking just one source...Yes, it's deviantart, however these are the official sprites. Serebii has a few of the sprites themselves... can someone either upload them to their respective spots themselves, or tell me how to do it?
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-XY-Menu-Icon-Sprites-411129707 The only section that really matters for what I'm talking about starts at Chespin. - unsigned comment from Asiyd (talk • contribs)
- However, you are not allowed to steal images from other sites, if you want to upload them, you need a Nintendo 3DS Capture Card. And don't forgot to sign with four tildes while posting on a talk page! Cinday123 (Talk) 00:35, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- Okay... how would I go about uploading these things though? And curious... I'm new to this, but if they are official sprites and found on a free to use site, why are we not allowed to use them? Not suggesting my link was, I was just simply showing an example of what I was talking about Asiyd (talk) 07:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- Anyone who steal sprites from X and Y in other websites and trying to upload it that was stolen from other websites in Bulbagarden Archives will be blocked. Cinday123 (Talk) 08:12, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- Would they be allowed to be used if permission was given by the uploader? Because at this rate it doesn't look like anyone is going to get these sprites straight from the games (...and... isn't that stealing in the first place?) as the device that allows you to do so is a good few hundred dollars...

- While GIF is currently used for the Crystal and Emerald sprites, eventually the support for this old format will be dropped in favor of animated PNG images
This sentence has single-handedly ensured that we will never, ever have every single animated sprite, not even every single non-Shiny front sprite. We have virtually zero Gen IV sprites animated and the vast majority of users and visitors to the site won't be able to view animated PNGs anyway. I'd like the project's leaders to seriously reconsider this rule. The Crystal and Emerald sprites look absolutely fine and usually play at the right speed, unlike most of the scant APNGs we have. —TheVeryBest 03:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Stack-It: An incredibly easy way to manage and share groups of links
- 2
Sometimes we get tips in the email and things don't sound immediately impressive. I have to admit that, at first, I didn't see the need for Stack-It. When I share URL's, it's almost always a single one, and the entire purpose of Stack-It is to share a group of them easily.
Then, I had a moment where I ended up having to share 4 different URL's and suddenly Stack-It made a whole lot of sense. Sometimes the easiest, most simplistic stuff, just happens to be the best.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
Stack-It is an incredibly easy way to share a group (or "stack") of URL's easily. All you have to do is head to the site, paste your URL's into the box and then create your link. You can choose a custom link, if you'd like, and Stack-It can even embed content from popular sites like YouTube, Flickr, Amazon, Vimeo and more. Need an example? Check out this stack that we've put together from this past week's TNW Podcast.
So as you see, heading to the link gives you an organized list of links that are relevant to whatever topic you've chosen. There's even a bookmarklet where, as you're browsing, you can simply click it and add a link to your existing stack. Let's say, for example, that you're gathering links about San Francisco. Stacking in a bunch of links, you might end up with a page similar to this.
It's not a world-changer, but it's darned handy. Sometimes, that's what counts.

So, there I was last August; new computer, improved internet connection, helpful book on blogging, all ready to breathe life back into this blog and then things happened. Not creative, exciting things; nor (thankfully) major trauma and upheaval; just a wearisome, spirit-sapping agglomeration of illnesses, foul moods and exhaustion. And the mixed blessing of an uninvited guest who stayed for about 10 weeks! I wasn't going to inflict that on anyone. (At least, not via the blog. I must not forget to sing the praises of Mr Caught Knitting who has put up with, and continues to put up with, a great deal.) Now, nearly 6 months on and after two unrelated bouts of surgery), a lot of rest and a determined healthy-eating campaign I'm slowlyhealing.
I have precious little knitting to report (I've only knitted two things in the last 12 months; a shawlette and a cowl; both were completed in January when I needed mindless knitting to stop me clawing at a surgical incision that was healing up.). But Mr CK and I had a rather wonderful trip to Salisbury in early February. It had the lot; winter sunshine, amazingly good food ( Anokaa for the most inventive and appetising Indian foodhttp://www.anokaa.com/, Fisherton Mill http://fishertonmill.co.uk/the-cafe/ for the freshest of light lunches, and the scrummiest of cakes), treasure of a guesthouse http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/merivale-house.html?aid=336478&label=BBDSP and photo opportunites galore. Here are some of my favourites:
I'm not sure how often I'll be able to blog over the next few months (I have much catching up to do: City & Guilds coursework, untidy heaps of who-knows-what to excavate and, when my spirits life a bit more, socialising to resume) but I'm off to SkipNorth in a week's time so will try to remember my camera. I'm not sure that a knitting break is ideal for someone with no time to knit, no space/money for stash enhancement and an increasing desire to retreat from the world but it will be a chance to catch up with some very dear friends and I can escape into Haworth village or onto the Worth Valley railway if it all gets too much! Watch this space.

They didn't show much of it, but they sounded good together. They alternated some verses, and sang the choruses together. Completely unrehearsed, of course.
I watched it on local TV. Found out today that one of my students (a 12-year-old girl) was at the Lowe's Foods and got to shake Scotty's hand.
I mean, regardless of whether you are a Scotty fan, you just have to love his hometown visit video. Didn't Garner, NC come off well? Lovely, all-American town. And can you believe the great love for Scotty?

Opposing pitchers may be regretting Ryan Casteel's injury more than he is. Since suffering a fractured cheekbone July 11 and returning just eight days later, the Tulsa catcher/first baseman has been on a tear.
"I'd like to think every night I'm focused just to try to help the team," said Casteel, among the Teaxas League leaders with a .282 average, 14 home runs and 46 RBIs. "Maybe I'm a little more focused now, but I'd like to think I'm focused every night."
Casteel was injured while sliding into second base on a fourth-inning double against Arkansas. The throw from outfielder Maikol Gonzalez skipped past the middle infielder and hit Casteel in the right cheek. Casteel stayed in the game after being examined, but it wasn't easy.
"It was painful," Casteel said. "I knew we were limited with our catching -- if something happened to the catcher, I would have had to [take over] -- so I had to stay in. I had no choice."
As the pain continued to set in after the game, Casteel went to the hospital and was there until early morning getting X-rayed. He was diagnosed with damage to the sinus cavity and told he would miss four to six weeks.
But Casteel sought a specialist, who told him the damage wasn't as bad as originally thought and that he could do no further harm by playing. With that information, Casteel returned from the DL and began an eight-game stretch in which he went 12-for-33 with three home runs -- including two in one game -- and eight RBIs.
"It was a big relief," Casteel said. "Any time you get hurt it's disappointing, so it was good to get back."
Casteel could have signed with the University of Tennessee but had second thoughts and opted instead for Cleveland (Tenn.) State Junior College, in the same town where he played for Bradley Central High School.
He felt he might get on the field quicker and prove himself to scouts in junior college, and his plan panned out when, after one season, the Colorado Rockies took him in the 17th round of the 2010 Draft.
"I was in well with the coaches in my hometown and wanted to stay local, so that's really what played into it," Casteel said. "I think too if I went to Tennessee I might have had to sit a year."
Casteel primarily has been a catcher but was told in Spring Training to grab a first baseman's glove because he might be getting some work at the position. While catching is his first love -- he likes being in the center of the action and working with a talented Tulsa staff that includes top prospect Jon Gray -- but he's happy to do whatever it takes.
"Growing up I played some infield, so it wasn't totally new," Casteel said. "It's like anything -- hard work."
Whatever position he plays, Casteel appears to be working his way into prospect status, earning a berth on the North Division All-Star squad as a reserve. He has hit no lower than .270 at any of his Minor League stops, and with the first-half North champion Drillers, he's headed to the playoffs for the fourth time in five pro seasons.
"It's always been my dream to play pro ball and play in the big leagues," he said. "Obviously it's worked out well and gone as planned so far."
In brief
Health check: Los Angeles Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson was scheduled for a rehab start with the Arkansas Travelers on Monday night. Wilson, 8-6 with a 4.33 ERA in 19 starts for the Angels this season, is recovering from an ankle injury suffered July 10.
Matthes, Nash bash: Corpus Christi's Telvin Nash hit his league-leading 18th homer and 10th in 18 games in his first at-bat off the disabled list Saturday. But Midland's Kent Matthes went deep twice and drove in nine runs in a 10-4 victory over the Hooks on Saturday.
Run support: Frisco starter Jerad Eickhoff fanned nine San Antonio Missions and improved to 8-7 on the season, while J.T. Wise, Odubel Herrera and Joey Gallo all clubbed home runs and combined for six RBIs in the RoughRiders' 12-4 victory Sunday.
