If you have read some of my previous reviews or my profile page you will know that I love travelling. This and a lifelong fascination with the ocean always caused me a lot of disappointment when I was not able to take pictures of colourful coral gardens, majestic sharks and pretty fish on any of my recent trips. Looking online for a solution I found several fitting underwater cases for my camera - a standard Casio Exilim. Imagine my disappointment when seeing the price tag; with way over 100 pounds they were more expensive than my recent one-way flight to Indonesia.
Google-ing around a bit brought me on the Hama homepage - a producer of quality electro accessories for reasonable prices. The Outdoor and Underwater Case instantly caught my eye and I ordered one on Amazon right away. Unfortunately I could hardly find any reviews online and the price of 30 pounds seemed slightly too cheap to convince that this product would be a winner.
- - - - - - - - - Where, how much and for who? - - - - - - - - -
I bought this Underwater Case on Amazon for 30 odd pounds direct buy option. Unfortunately I haven´t seen it in any retail store which I would have preferred and it cannot be ordered directly from the Hama website. Ordering via Amazon is easy and if you have enough points you can use a dooyoo voucher to help paying towards your new purchase.
"For who" is easily answered here - if you enjoy outdoor photography you will love this camera bag. It will allow you to take underwater photos with a normal camera until a depth of 5 metres which should be enough for any snorkeling trip. I assume pressure would be too high on a diving trip but usually the instructors bring proper underwater cameras to get some unforgettable shots of you in a wet suit diving with barracudas.
Unfortunately it is not suitable for everyone´s needs. If you have a professional camera equipment please invest the extra money to get a "proper" underwater case. While this product is perfect for any everyday user with a standard camera it is not suitable for professional pictures. Most SLR cameras will be too big for the case and the lens might be too limited to produce an acceptable quality.
The integrated lens attachment enables zooming in the bag and the lens is so good that I never noticed any differences with or without bag - on land obviously. It also has an UV filter and the waterproof zip-fastener with additional hook and loop attachment will protect it safely from water, snow or sand.

When the day finally came that the postman brought me my long-desired package from Amazon I couldn´t wait to try my new Underwater Camera Case. Firstly however, I was slightly surprised and a bit worried by the small size of the package. This effect actually worsened upon opening and my only thought was "This tiny thing is supposed to protect my camera on a whole year of travelling?" The underwater case is less of a case than a small plastic bag that honestly does not look very trustworthy. The PVC looks rather thin and the closing mechanism looks similar to the ones you find with ice cube bags.
All in all not a very promising start and I already wrote off my 30 pounds to be wasted on this gadget. But having bought it and actually looking forward to taking underwater pictures prompted me to at least test the case once and see whether it would work or not.
I tested the case on two occasions before taking it on holiday with me - one test in the sink to see if it would leak and one test to see the quality of the pictures and videos. Read through it and please repeat at least the first test to make sure that your Underwater Case is not faulty.
- - - - - - - - - The sink test - - - - - - - - -
As suggested in the instruction booklet my first test was in the sink - without actually putting my camera inside. Filling the plastic bag with toilet paper and taking special care to close it properly I was actually holding my breath while emerging it in the water. After a few seconds I got a bit braver and started to splash it around and squeeze it a bit.
Imagine how worried I was when I saw tiny air bubbles rising up, scattering all my dreams of colourful underwater pictures. Thank god, and yes I should have realized that before, the tiny bubbles were only trapped air on the outside of the case which was released while moving it around. Opening the closing mechanism is pretty easy but I would recommend drying the area before taking your camera out.
But back to the sink trail and it results. Opening the bag without getting a few drops of water on the camera (or in this case the paper) is nearly impossible. However, those few drops should not be a problem is you are careful.
Thankfully all the toilet paper stayed dry and I could instantly image myself taking the most amazing underwater pictures, possible becoming famous and making loads of money selling them - ok, a slight exaggeration here but those things are entirely possible in my daydreams. Having passed the first test and convincing me that the bag would not leak I couldn´t wait to see the quality of the pictures it would produce - which leads me to test No. 2: The river and lake test.
- - - - - - - - - The river test - - - - - - - -
Oh believe me, I was incredibly nervous when I went to the park on that day. It´s a lovely park with a little lake and a small stream - and the place for my first real test to see how well the Hama Case would work.
Emerging the camera into the lake was horrible; I was convinced that the bag would rip resulting in me losing my baby (yes, that´s my nickname for my camera). Luckily baby stayed right where it belonged and I was able to take some pictures. Doing so with the bag being under and me above the water can be quite tricky as you cannot really make out the exact position of the buttons. I had the feeling that I have to press harder on the buttons which is probably not really good for my camera and using the zoom was next to impossible. My zoom function is operated via a little wheel on the upper bit of my camera; through the relatively thick PVC it was quite difficult to use it accurately and after a while I settled for "not at all" or "as much as possible".
As there is practically no current whatsoever in the little lake I tried the camera in the adjoining stream where I instantly recognized the advantages of the little strap that is attached to the bag. My recommendation would be to tie the strap around your wrist while snorkeling, underwater currents are surprisingly strong and losing your camera would certainly spoil even the nicest holiday.
Taking my camera out of the bag - carefully of course to ensure that no water would come into contact with it - I was so curious to see the quality of the photos and the short video I took. Imagine my disappointment when all I saw was a green/brown blur that resembled a slice of bread that was forgotten in the cupboard for too long. After seeing about 10 variations of the same blur I was about to cry - no pretty pictures, no world-fame, nothing. The eleventh picture however showed crystal clear the rocky underground and the outline of a small fish. My boyfriend actually thought that I was crazy; he couldn't understand that this picture (which was still mainly brown) made me so happy. Ah well, he never understood my obsession with photography and fish anyway.
Giving it another try I realized that pictures and videos taken right in the current don´t come out well, the object has to be as still as possible and moving the camera around taking random shots is not going to get you any good results. With a bit of practice I managed to get some decent pictures of a quality I didn´t dare dreaming of.
Now everything was ready for my big trip to Indonesia and for our final test - the ocean test!
- - - - - - - - - The ocean test - - - - - - - - -
And here we go - a snorkeling trip to Indonesia and in my luggage - the Hama Outdoor and Underwater Case! Arriving at the Spice Islands was quite an adventure which took me from England to Malaysia; from there with another airplane to Markassa in Indonesia where I took a connection flight to Ambon. Right now I was already closer to Australia than to any of the big islands of Indonesia. From Ambon I still had a 1 day ferry trip before finally reaching my destination - the Banda Islands aka the Spice Islands where the British and the Dutch were fighting for exotic spices in the 16th century. Imagine my arrival like this: a stunning sunrise over a cluster of lush, green islands, in the middle of all a majestic volcano, dolphins following our boat swimming in water so clear that I soon began to see the first corals.
My guesthouse on Ay Island - the Green Coconut - is one of the loveliest places I ever stayed at. From my room I had the most stunning view on the crystal clear sea that is so unspoiled that this area is considered one of the best diving and snorkeling places in the whole world. The biodiversity is only comparable to the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia and is the habitat of many species that can only be found here
Snorkeling in these unspoiled waters is a stunning experience that I will certainly never forget - and every time my memory starts to get a bit hazy I simply have to look at my great underwater photos to remind myself of its beauty. Before describing how to use the underwater bag I can tell you right away that the pictures and videos I took were absolutely amazing. The colours were brilliant and all the objects were almost as sharp as if the photo would have taken under normal conditions. Taking pictures of animals is always a bit tricky - unlike humans they won´t stand still till you took the perfect shot.
Unfortunately this is reflected in the photos as well; although the fish can be clearly seen they are usually at the bottom or half cut off but never exactly where I want them to be in the picture. The only solution I found was hovering as still as possible and taking loads of pictures of the fish you want to photograph. Corals are much more grateful objects and looked brilliant on my photos - especially the green and blue ones looked almost vibrating and their colour just as nice as in real life.
To avoid blurry pictures you should chose objects that are not more than a couple of meters away - but this depends entirely on the water quality and light conditions. Murky water will turn all your pictures in an unidentifiable blur and if you are too far away from your desired object you will not get any good result as well. This is not a good Underwater Case for anyone that wants to take some random shots but you will actually have to think about where the right place is and which light conditions are the best.
Using the camera while snorkeling was much easier than during my test at the lake. With my head being under water the buttons where easier to use and the camera in general better to control. I always tend to hold it too hard but for the sake of your camera you should avoid that.
One thing I would like to point out here is that using the strap is vital - if you can attach it to your bathing suit or your wrist and make sure that is always secured. Simply holding it is not enough when you have to swim against a current at the same time and will take your concentration off what you are doing - it happened a few times that I was so fascinated with taking photos that I drifted off far too wide away from the boat.
I really enjoyed all my snorkeling trips and will continue using my Underwater Case whenever possible. It was a great addition to my travel bag and well worth the money spent. The Banda Islands were amazing anyway but I have the feeling that my trip was made a bit more enjoyable by this little gadget. Thanks Hama for providing a cheap and easy option to take some unforgettable photos.
- - - - - - - - - As an Outdoor Case - - - - - - - - -
Leaving Indonesia after about two months was so very difficult and I nearly cried the last time I went snorkeling around my little island. I knew I would come back one day but living without the sound of the waves, the colourful coral gardens and the pretty butterfly fish following me around while snorkeling is something that I can hardly live without.
Catching a flight to Laos made things a bit easier and the warm welcome my friends gave me made me instantly smile again. I´ve already put my Hama Underwater case right at the bottom of my backpack without the intention of using it again on this trip but surprisingly it came in more than handy over the following few weeks.
Laos in late august is in the middle of rainy season which means frequent, strong rainfalls that will soak you in seconds leaving nothing dry and most of the time come so surprisingly that I never had enough time to find shelter. If you have ever been in a tropical rainstorm you might know how refreshing it can be - the water is pleasantly warm and cleans the air leaving it fresh and cool. Although I never had a problem with getting soaked I was understandably worried that my camera would get wet - therefore losing the opportunity to take another 4GB in one month.
After the first day I remembered that my Hama Underwater case was also advertised as an Outdoor case - the perfect protection my camera needed to stay dry throughout a whole month in rainy Laos. Wrapping my lovely - and in case you are interested bright green - digital camera into the plastic bag I did feel much more comfortable carrying it around. I´ve got some very unique pictures taken of people running for shelter, kids jumping around in the streets and market vendors packing in their good during one of the frequent rain falls - and all this without having to worry about the safety of my camera and the quality of the pictures.
Seeing the Tad Sae Waterfall in Luang Prabang is one of those once in a lifetime experiences as well as a perfect opportunity to take pictures that will be the envy of all your friends for many years to come. One of these pictures is me posing right in front of the waterfall with the sunlight creating tiny rainbows all over the mist of the falling water. It is this mist that would have gotten my camera wet if it wouldn´t have been in its protective case, thus allowing me to take some spectacular shots of the tumbling masses.
- - - - - - - - - Would I buy the Hama Outdoor and Underwater Case again? - - - - - - - - -
This is a product that really deserves 10 out of 10 possible points; if I could I would probably give it even more points or at least a little (sea) star.
30 pounds is nothing compared to all the joy and envious looks I got due to this little gadget. The stunning pictures are absolutely unique and will keep my spirits up while working to earn enough money for a plane ticket direction Asia. Now please don´t think that this is only a useful addition while travelling; no it is perfect for so many everyday situations. Think about days at the pool with friends and family, a summer day at Scarborough beach or any other situation in which you want to have this extra bit of reassurance that your camera is protected.
This product cannot be valued highly enough and I can recommend it without even the slightest bit of doubt. Have fun taking pictures that you were never before able to take - and all this for the price of a night out!

Yes to Carrots C Through the Night, Night Moisturizing Cream
Yes to Carrots C Through the Night, Night Moisturizing Cream Reviews
WONDERFUL, SOOTHING CREAMI had seen this cream in the drug store, while previously searching for a new, natural, hypoallergenic night cream that would last through the night and not make skin feel tight, as many of them do. I cannot afford to pay mall/department store prices, and, frankly, even if I could, I probably would not. I hesitated buying Yes to Carrots because the name sounded weird (stupid reason, I know), and I...read more am really sorry I waited so long! This cream is absolutely wonderful. It has a great consistency, not too thin or too greasy, and absorbs well. It smells nice, too. Most importantly, IT WORKS! I have a fair, sensitive complexion, and am prone to breakouts from new products. I had no problems in this area. My skin feels soft, not greasy, not tight, just right. It looks radiant without being overly shiny. The packaging is cute, with the cute litlle carrot on the box and jar, and there is no waste. The jar is filled and of sufficient size to justify the price. I will try the day cream and eye cream next time I get paid. By all means, if you are looking for a drugstore-priced, natural-based, gentle an effective nught cream, try it. You won't be sorry. — 8 years, 4 months agoIsis04 | 45 reviews

I can't trust the Yes To brandI got this cream as part of a value set from Target and I was so excited that I was going to get a night time moisturizer with an eye cream I was trying from the same line. In general, when you buy a cream that is labeled "Night cream", you assume it is thicker and more emollient and expect for your skin to feel hydrated after using. I don't recall it having a strong scent, but it was scented. I t...read moreried using it for a few weeks but just had to throw it away because it wasn't moisturizing my skin at all. I felt like I was just putting a layer of stuff on top of my skin and getting nothing from it at all, no moisture, no improved texture, nothing. After trying this product, their eye contour cream, and a lip balm, I can pretty much say that I won't be buying anything from Yes To again. — 4 years, 6 months agofeliciaaguilar7 | 13 reviews

great night creamso, in my local pharmacy the night cream and day cream came together at a bargain - first plus! It really is a briliant night cream. A little thicker than the day cream but wake up to lovely skin, I found that other moisturisers leave my already combination skin oilier in the oily places which left me wary to use any for the dry parts of my skin but this baby moisturised without any oils. Also, all the ingrediants are non-chemically so it is great overall for healthy skin! — 5 years, 9 months agoRaraGiggles89 | 10 reviews

THIS GAME IN GENERAL (FALLOUT TACTICS is (c) 2001 Interplay
Entertainment Corp)
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is one of my most awaited games. One
word of advice, don't expect much RPG elements of Fallout 1 and 2 in this game.
It's a combat game poor and simple, no reputation-affect towns and lengthy
quests. Actually, almost no quest's in this game. If you touch this just to play some
new combat game, you'll not regret. If you're a Fallout fan, expect a bunch of
01.01 Skills, Perks and Stats
The game revolves around combat. Skill points distribution will be concentrated
on combat skills. Stats points development and perk achievement will be
oriented toward combat and combat support as well. You may try to do
otherwise, but that's invitation to frustrate and disappointment.
These are the most important skills+
a. Small gun: for normal and common weapons, using mostly in first part of the
game, from mission 1 to mission 8, 9. In the later missions Sniper-style recruits
will take full advantage of Sniper rifle to kill from afar. We can snipe up to 50 hex
so we'll need at least 150 to 200%. Can learn by magazine, but Bullet and Gun is
not that common, I think there's about 3-4 mag per game. bonus = 2*IN
b. Big gun: for heavy weapon specialists , using mostly in second part of the
game, from mission 7 to mission 11, later missions big guns're not effective any
more, with some exceptions of Browning M2 (ammo .50 cal) and Rocket
Launcher (most effective in vehicle and random encounters, not so great in
missions). As said above, the most important guns are: Browning M2... pause, i
guess RL worth it too. Try to hoard as much .50 cal as you can (in Random
encounters with mutants), even 10000 is not too much; or from Behemoths in
later part. HW specialists will play an important role in your squad: shock troop.
Nothing like one or three HWSs with browning m2 between the other teammates
and a horde of robots, super mutants and deathclaws running toward your team
screaming for blood. Or like one or two guys in a bunker full of Super Mutants.
c.Energy weapon: For laze, pulse and plasma weapons. Very much in demand in
dealing with robots as they can withstand most kind of SMG and BG weapons.
Sunbeam laze will replace sniper rifle in sniping robots. Two options for you: hire
EW specialists for these missions or develop EW skill yourself. There're some
interesting EW specialists later on in my game but they can vary depended on
your character and your game.
d.Sneak: You need this to recon the battlefield and infiltrate enemy base if
needed. Snipers need it to get to good position, Slayers need it to get near to
theirs targets without wading through a rain of bullets, rockets and laze. Other
than leather armor (normal and advanved) any kinds of armor will lower sneak
e.First aid: To regain the lost HP. Can only use consecutively 4 or 5 times
before gain bandaged status--> can used FA skill on him/her/it no more. Cheap
and effective. Try to heal with FA kits while the other hand hold FA field
kit-->increase FA skill temporarily. Can learn by reading. about 4-6 books per
f.Doctor: Mainly for cure bandaged and other serious status: cripple, blind,
concuss... Before patch 127 there's a big chance of fully healed even if the
patient is 1/187 HP. After patched, sighed... mostly 65---70 HP per use, fully
healed are pretty rare.
g. Trap+Pilot+Outdoor: Useful, but can be developed through books. Don't spend
skill on them. If too pressed, you can always hire specialists. Minefields can be
detected by high level, high perception, sneak crawl boy or girl. After that some
12 gauge shotgun shells with someone SMG 90+ is enough to clear them. dont
bother to disarm: Mines are too heavy to carry around for use, expensive to buy
but not that expensive to bring home for sale.
h. Steal. Useful for acquiring expensive medical stuffs and equipments but don't
develop it. Almost every games has Babs (after mission 6, rank 5, save the
ghouls) as a thief. Use her then drop her back into recruit pools. best game have
her 6 or 7 perception so she could have pickpocket.
i.Throwing. Grenades of all kinds are very common. I don't find much use for them
except throwing pulse grens through walls toward bots. you may develop them,
but there're some recruits with throwing tagged. Gren is not very effective.
j. UNARM and MELEE: if you prefer to choose the way of Slayers, well, spent on
these two lavishly. If not, NOT a point.
I thinks that's all for skills.
These're Most Important General Perks:+
a. Bonus ROF: AG 7, PE 6, IN 6 lvel 15. less one AP for using weapons.
b. Mutate! Give it to new recruits to get Gifted (+1 each stats, -5 Sp each
level, -10% of each skills) or Fear the Reaper (perk/2 lvels, loss HP suddenly and
when leveling up). But if you want to gifted, try to wait until level 12 or later to
reduce the total loss of SP.
c. Divine Favor: CHA 8, level 14. perk/2lvel and +1 to highest STAT (not exceed
racial restrictions). If you wait till level 14 to choose it you will have perk in lvel 15,
17, 19, 21, 23... ghoul will be perk/3 level. (meaning a Fear Ripper, 8 Cha Ghoul
can get divine favor to have perk/2 level)
d. Leader: 6 CHA. +1 AGI to other members of the team, not to leader. But
they must be near leader to get it. 2 leader stand beside each other will get +1
AGI each, others +2.
e. Loner: <5 CHA, outdoor 40. +10 to every skill when staying away from
teamates. But it's a bug. The bonus is on all the time even when you're standing
next to someone. This actually makes it pretty good as you get +10% to all skills
at all times. I think it's not that good with low CHA like that. I choose it for recruits.
f. Bonus Ranged Damage (2 levels) AG 6, LK 6 . +15% to damage
caused by guns.
If you choose to play as Sniper, you should have traits Finesse and Kamikaze
and the following:
g. More Criticals (3 levels) : LU 6. +5 to CRitical chance each MC level
h. Sharpshooter: PE 7, IN 6 +2 to PE when shooting.
i. Tunnel Rat AG 6 crawling at walk speed (depend on your
If you choose to play as Slayer (up close and personal, rough and tumble...)
choose these perks
j. Toughness(3 levels) EN 6, LK 6 +15 to DMG resist. each levels.
k. *Bonus HTH Dam. (3lvl): ST 6, AG 6 obviously.
l. *Bonus HTH Att. AGI 6: -1 AP to kicks and fist
m. HtH Evade : Unarmed 75% add 1/6 Unarm skill to AC if both hand
empty or use unarm weapons.
n. *Silent Death AG 10, Sneak 80% ectasy.
o. *Slayer ST 8, AG 8, Unarmed 80% Must have for this type.
p. *Silent Running AG 6, Sneak 50%
Obviously there're so many perks for this type, it made hard to choose. It depend
on your style though (shrug). I recommend k,l,n,o. Save perks if need be until you
can achieve them.
The problem with slayer-style is a slayer will need all his/her perks just for those *
perks above. Nothing left for other functions. So If your character is slayer, you will
need a Leader, or Doctor.
Gift is maybe the most useful for Character development. Penalties in SP are
steep but acceptable. 7 points more in place of SP are so much yummies. So
this is my proposal for your consideration
---A recommended character---
5STR+6PER+1EN+7 Char+5LU+9INT+7AGI
so that Gift will give us 6STR+7PER+2EN+8 Char+6LU+10INT+8AGI . 6ST will
be enough for most gun except browning m2. 7 per 6 LUC for several perks. 8
CHA for Leader and DIvine favor. 8AGI=9AP. 10 IN will yield the most in Books,
mags and SP earn per level. I intend to use Elixir of Life to offset the dangerous
endurance and never get near where bullets fly thickest.
Concentrate on playing as Leader, Lockpicker (maybe), Doctor and Sniper. FA
can be learnt or hire a doc or nurse. playing as DOCTOR to harvest XP in
healing. yes, they're for doc only, not for other lowly grunts or gunslingers or even
Heavy weapon specialist : Fast shot (combine with Bonus ROF===> -2AP for
each shot--> 3AP for a burst of minigun --->9AP HWS can shoot 3 times a turn.)
(NINJA) maybe Night Person + Small Frame. later Mutate to Gifted in level 12.
remember to get Night Vision --> we have a Night op. specialist.
(Genius) Or we can save a perk by choose Gift with Finessee now.
Tag: Energy gun, SMG, Doctor. Spend points on SMG, sneak and doctor, left
EW till level 9 or more before you should start. (so you will save a perk, no need
to choose tag! later)
Perk: Comprehension(a must, we can learn about repair, scout, first aid and
SMG, science too); Wait till level 9 or 12 then Mutate (maybe Night
person-->Gifted); Leader or wait till level 14 to try Divine Favor; Sharpshooter,
More Criticals(3),Bonus Rate of Fire (or Gain AGI/Bonus Ranged Damage).
So, NINJA has Comprehension, Mutate, Leader, Divine Favor, Sharpshooter,
More Criticals(3), Bonus Rate of Fire as soon as you can
Genius will have Comprehension, Leader, Sharpshooter, Divine Favor, More
Criticals(3), Bonus Range Damage or Sniper if you like. NINJA has 45-60 Sp
more than Genius. Your choice.
Now go out and get them. If your fingers itch for some juicy bits of drugs and
money and Rp and weapons... be patient. Wait till after Quincy (mission 6) and
gain rank 5. Babs will be for rent at Recruit pools. Develop her a bit, then wander
through various place to take and take and take (save and save and save). For
gambling, maybe Stumpy? If not him then choose any rcruits with Gambling
tagged. Until your repair skill (learn by book) get to desired level (around 80 and
upwards) choose specialist in game to repair the vehicles. I used Ed for quite a
Read more in RECRUIT POOL sections.
Rank and CHA are important if you want to have access to good recruits,
excellent equipment and big vanity. We shall look at them a little carefully
Ranks in BOS: from 1 to 13*
{Senior Initiate}
{Senior Squire}
{Junior Knight}
{Senior Knight}
{Knight Commander}
{Junior Paladin}
{Paladin Commander}
{Paladin Lord}
Ranks can be affected by 3 element:
a. Successful operations with all objectives completed and hidden obj completed
(an example is BUENA VISTA mission, other than 2 official obj, one hidden is
eliminating most of the robots) Hidden obj is shown in the brief of that mission.
b. CHA: higher CHA, faster the rate you climb upwards. ANd maybe, just maybe,
higher CHA will affect quality of the recruits too. I suspect it because recruits in
my game is pretty different in other people's games. the number of total stats
points each of them have, some small anomalies, tag skills, traits. A fear the
reaper ghoul is definitely better than a normal ghoul. save mutate! And a
sniper-material recruit with initial EW tag will be super duper yummy. one more
perk for more criticals
c. Brown Noser: 1 brown noser = +1 rank. Good for your low CHA recruits. for
high CHA, I'm not sure. I don't find it neccessy other than recruits Grimm brothers
About CHARISMA hmmm. There are 3 uses for it:
a. Rank: as said above.
b. Perks: Leader and Divine Favor. DF is most fun but it requires 8 CHA. Low
CHA give us Loner. Good but in my book it can't hold candle to DF.
c. Shopping: if you don't like to steal and gamble and even if you like both, you
still need bartering. Buying and selling to save and earn the hard cold cash of RP
and $.
In recruit pool there's some known specialist
.01 Recommended specialists
(meaning they play this role almost every games)
Thief: Babs
gambler: Stumpy
Sniper/Leader: Clarisse,
Mechanic: Ed
HWS: Joe grimm. Brian (in my game he's Big gun tagged
from beginning and I built it up to 200. Nothing so satisfy as sniping with Rocket
HtH specialist Riddick, Deathclaws
.02 Develop your own specialists
2 ways to do: use them to let them earn EXP (actively) or just left them in
Recruit Pool to receive Xp passively. I will discuss the second way
It seem in prior version to 127, recruits in Pool will be actomatically
leveled up, distributed SP and chosen Perks. It suck and this second way is not
possible. I play version 127 and find that: after a long period of fighting and
earning a significant amount of XP, when the squad returns to Bunker, the
recruits in Pool will receive a portion of those XP and still not level up. There are
some exceptions to this : Recruits with higher XP and levels than my character;
and some just plain weird recuits. Those weird recruits are (in my game) Stevie
and Sharon. If I save before talking to Recruit master, talk and view the status of
them, quit and load+talk, their skill point spending and perks will be different.
there are some ways to use this to choose perks for them but I didnot want to try.
When you talk to RM the first time, some recruits has additional Xp, right.
Kick your squad out, pick any great potential recruits, quit. In game screen go to
chracter screen and level up them as you wish. If you want to shelve them for later
developing (I left Brian until level 15 then develop him into a 200% HW specialist)
remember to spend at least 1 skill points before send them back to RM. After
that the game consider them the reserve of my squad and left them alone (not
change their Xp to default). Now you must earn a large chunk of Xp before you
can repeat this. Each time you can only mod 5 recruits, so choose carefully.
This is great as you can have a number of good reserve for your squad,
built specifically toward their roles in future. In later mission when your initial
soldiers didnot work as well as before (Sniper rifle can't penetrate heavy armor
Super mutants, or robots; a burst of AK47, Neostead didnot cause good
damage to the grinning SM) you can call them out. their levels may be a bit lower
(1 or 3) but they will meet your needs. The initial squad of mine (farsight, stitch,
stoma, ice, core_pipboy) become obsolete and (clarisse+dos-sniper SMG and
EW, rage-scout, brian-HWS) replaced them.
.01 Preparation
Before meet the Recruit Master (or Recruit Yeoman) of the bunker we'll
need to do a certain measures of preparations. they are to ensure we have good
First, level up your current teammates, left equipment in lockers or
vehicles if need be.
Second, get HIGH. yes, rright, get high. not just any kind of drugs, no sir.
Only one kind for you: Mentats. It's the only drug raise CHA. using one or two,
three if need be (avoid addiction if possible) notice the change in your rank. Yes,
that's right. Rank can change with CHA temporarily affected like that. Then go
For a normal recruits to be available in the Pool, two conditions must be
satisfied: One- After certain mission (see below); Two- After Certain rank (ranks
stated below is rank of recruits, your character must have the same or higher
rank). For special recruits, condition One will be changed with Three- your
character must encounter a specific encounter. for example if you are paladin
lord in mission 5 you can have Grimm brothers (but how to do that other than
.02 Recruit List
I didn't add their stats here because it seem their stats change randomly each
game and CHA of the main character. I know my recruits and Guiler's recruits
are different from each other, especially in Tag! skill and Stats Points.
Recruits we used will be promoted, but very slowly.
e.g: After QUINCY: (Ghoul) Babs(4*)
only available after mission Quincy
Ghoul: Race
Babs: Name
4*: rank stated is rank of recruits, your character must have the
same or higher rank
Before FREEPORT
(5BOS) Robin, Jax, Stitch, Farsight, Torn,
Note: Must recruit him in Pipboy Encounter with party <6 (me
with a party of 5 was not able to do that, must reduce to 4-->succeed)--> he
became CORE_Pipboy (has 10 luck). Or we can let him wander off the map and
he will be available in Recruit pool as Pipboy (4luck)(Never tried this option.
Anyone want to comment on this?)
After FREEPORT:
(8BOS) Trevor, Kevin(2*), Brian, Rage(2*), Rebecca(2*), Ice(2*),
Jo, Mandy(2*)
After ROCK FALLS
(5Tribal) (target(3*), sharon, keith(4*)) +(?)(Fleetfoot, Slicer)
Note: 1-If Charisma > 8 can we have Fleetfoot, Slicer? 2-If we
have zero tribal casualties will we have those two?
(5BOS) Stein(3*), Stumpy(4*), Stoma(4*), Stevie, Beth(3*)
After QUINCY:
(3Ghoul) Babs(4*), billy bob(4*), (?)Frank
Note: 1-Must save the Ghouls in Quincy,
2-If Charisma > 8 can we have Frank?
After MARDIN:
(4Deathclaw) Shaav(4*), Shriek(4*), Krldraav(5*), Mother(5*),
Note: Must save Matriarch and ally with them.
(5Raider) Creeper, Pain(5*), Hurt(5*), Malice(5*), Boomer(6*)
(3ghoul) Dillon(5*), Harold(5*), Martin(5*),
(3BOS) Max(6*), Alice(6*), Ed(6*)
Riddick(5*) (?)
Note: Must survive Black Pitch with him.
After OSCEOLLA:
(5SuperMutant) Chuck(6*), Toni(6*), Bob(7*), Pump(7*), Cookie(9*)
(5BOS) John(9*), vector(8*), kaisa(8*), Fran(7*), Karl(6*)
After NEWTON
(4Reaver) Mac(1*), Dos(10*), (Hardrive ?), (Seedee ?)
Note: If Charisma > 8 can we have Hardrive and Seedee?
when Mac appear she's quite developed
(6BOS) Slim(12*), Shaky(12*), Clarisee(12*), debbie(11*),
Peta(10*), Box(10*)
Joe and Jim Grimm (10*)
Note: 1-Must heal his injured leg in Brother Grimm Encounter.
After (?)Canyon City
(1Robot) HR1205
NOTE: it seems the recruits' stat, perks, tag skill, traits may vary between each
game. I notice a big different between recruits described in Guiler's Walthrough
and my game so I dont list them up there. you may save before talking to RM first
time in the interlude after crucial missions to see if the stats is predetermined
each game or just at the current first time state of your char. What I mean is: save
before go to the exit grid of crucial missions, save before talking to RM after that,
then load back to see if any stats of recruit change...
.01 Race Note
1- BOS, Raider, Reaver: recruits came from BOS-Raider-Reaver
recruits, independent from events
2- Tribal: Recruits from barbarian tribes, dependent on events,
especially in mission1,when we have to keep the number of tribal casualties
down to minimum.
3-Ghoul: Recruits from Ghoul clans, dependent on events, especially in
Quincy, must help those ghouls (minimum ghoul casualties) and rescue Georgi
(Elliot's brother); and in KANSAS CITY(minimum Ghoul casualties, me with 3
ghouls dead but the bishop still praised me); not sure about Kansas recruits
though, the bishop said some about that but it seems noone new.... (shrug).
4-Deathclaw: Recruits from a Deathclaw clan, dependent on events, in
mission Mardin, must save Matriarch and ally with her. Only four of them.
5-SuperMutant: Recruits from SuperMutant remnant army, independent
on events, but maybe in KANSAS CITY, we should save the lab (but nothing to
indicate that destroy it will affect the number of recruits though)
6-Free Recruit: There are 4 independent recruits in FT BOS: Pipboy, 2
Grimm brothers and Riddick. To hire them, first we have to go to specific
.02 Chemicals
You should use chemicals in game. It raise your stats in many ways,
temporary of course.But not just any drug, only two kinds. First, Afterburnergum:
duration: 2 days of +1STR +1 PE, after that must endure 2 days of lowered stats.
Second, Mentats: 1 day of +2PE +1 CHA +2IN; 4 days of lowered stats. You
better not get addicted. Any other drugs got shorter durations---> not worth it. But
it's your choice.
a. Does naked moose magazine and Cat Paw has any use?
b. Jet Bike Key is for what?
c. Are they obtainable ? If yes, how?
Fleetfoot (Tribal)
Slicer (Tribal)
Frank (Ghoul)
Hardrive (Reaver)
Seedee (Reaver)

How is a compulsory liquidation started? How is a compulsory liquidation different from a voluntary liquidation? Can the Thai Court issue a winding-up order for a foreign company? Introduction Welcome to the third of our Asia restructuring and insolvency briefings - this note focuses on Thailand.This briefing complements our other publications on corporate restructuring and the sale or purchase of distressed assets. What are the options for companies in financial difficulty in Thailand? Reorganisations and bankruptcies are the major options for companies in financial difficulty in Thailand. Both are governed by the Bankruptcy Act BE 2483 (1940) as amended ("Act"). Under a 1998 amendment to the Act, a corporate rehabilitation process was introduced to allow restructuring through a Court process. Informal arrangements are also available in Thailand. These are by contractual agreement and rely on the co-operation and agreement of all the parties involved. How does contractual debt restructuring work? Informal arrangements and voluntary restructuring are possible and common in Thailand; however they require the debtors' and creditors' cooperation in negotiating and agreeing any restructuring plan and legal agreements. They are also not binding on all creditors unless the creditors are parties to the process. Dissenting creditor(s) can either enforce their security rights or start civil proceedings (or bankruptcy proceedings). In practice a corporate debtor will often agree the terms of a restructuring with its principal secured and unsecured creditors first and then enter into separate arrangements with other unsecured creditors, such as trade creditors.In most restructuring cases, unless small scale, reaching a consensus between the corporate debtor and creditors may prove difficult, especially where creditors have varying security rights. Given these limitations, informal voluntary restructuring is normally only applied in cases involving a small number of creditors.The commencement of an informal debt rescheduling or corporate rescue does not initiate a moratorium or automatic stay of proceedings. This would only be possible where all the parties can agree a standstill where a moratorium is one of the agreed terms.The company's existing management is not normally affected by the initiation of an informal corporate rescue process, unless the creditors ask for a change in management. It is more common that a financial adviser is appointed to monitor the company's cash flow and report to a steering committee of the creditors.Following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the Corporate Debt Restructuring Advisory Committee ("CDRAC") was introduced by the Bank of Thailand. The CDRAC process was established as a mechanism to speed up debt restructuring to solve Thailand's 1997 financial crisis. CDRAC is however no longer available. What are the formal procedures if an informal contractual arrangement cannot be agreed? If a corporate debtor meets certain requirements it may commence a voluntary reorganisation, formally through a Court process, by issuing a petition for reorganisation under Chapter 3/1 of the Act. To do this a corporate debtor must be insolvent, have claims against it of not less than Baht 10 million (in aggregate) and it must show there are reasonable grounds and means to reorganise its business operations. How is a formal restructuring implemented? The corporate debtor will submit a reorganisation petition to the Court and if it is accepted there is an automatic moratorium preventing all creditors from pursuing claims or enforcing security (similar to a US Chapter 11 petition), including prohibitions on:the filing of bankruptcy petitions or the making of a receivership orders;the filing or continuation of civil proceedings for a cause of action that occurred before the approval of the Plan (see the explanation of this term below) without the Court's consent;the enforcement of judgment debts where judgment was obtained prior to the approval of the Plan;a creditor who is entitled to self-help from seizing or selling the property of the company; andsecured creditors enforcing claims against collateral (without the Court's consent).The automatic moratorium remains in force until the date on which the Court dismisses the petition, repeals the business reorganisation order, cancels the business reorganisation process, or places the debtor into receivership; or until the expiration of the implementation period of the Plan or the date on which the implementation is successfully completed.The Court will then set a hearing date to determine whether the petition should be approved or dismissed. At the hearing, the Court will also hear evidence from anyone who objects to the petition. If the petition is approved, the Court will appoint a planner who will prepare a business reorganisation plan ("Plan") within three months of his appointment (this period can be extended twice, for up to one month each time, by application to the Court).Once the Plan is prepared, it must then be approved by the creditors.There are certain mandatory requirements that the Plan must contain. These include at a minimum:the reasons for the reorganisation;details of all the debtor's assets, debts and other obligations at the time when the Court granted the reorganisation order;principles and methods for the reorganisation, which include: the reorganisation process;repayment of debts, extension of a maturity date, decrease of the amount of debts, and classification of creditors;decrease and increase of capital;creation of debts and obtaining more capital, including the source of capital and the conditions of such debts and capital;management of, and making profit from, property of the debtor; andconditions for paying dividends and other benefits;redemption of security (in case there are secured creditors) and liability of guarantors;solutions for the problem of temporary lack of liquidity occurring during the implementation of the Plan;methods for the transfer of claims or obligations;name, qualifications, and written consent of the proposed Plan administrator, as well as his remuneration;appointment and cessation from office of the proposed Plan administrator;period of implementation of the Plan, which shall not exceed five years; andrejection of any debtors' property or contractual rights which are subject to obligations more onerous than the benefits that the debtor is entitled to receive. How can a company implement a Plan? Once the Plan has been completed, the planner must submit it to the Official Receiver with sufficient copies for all creditors. The Official Receiver will then call a meeting of creditors in order to consider the Plan. The creditors are classified for the purposes of approving the Plan into relevant classes. If a creditor, the corporate debtor, or the planner wishes to modify the Plan, they must file a request to do so at least three days before the meeting. The Plan should be approved by a special resolution of each and every group of creditors, or a special resolution of at least one group of creditors who hold not less than 50 per cent of the total debts of the company. Special resolution means a resolution passed by a majority in number of a class of creditors present and voting (in person or by proxy) holding at least 75 per cent of the amount of the claims.Assuming the Plan is approved by the creditors, the Official Receiver must report the result to the Court. The Court will then approve the Plan if it meets certain requirements, including thatthe Plan contains all the mandatory requirements (as outlined above);the proposal for debt repayment is in accordance with the sequence stipulated by law; andwhen the Plan is successfully implemented, the creditors should receive no less than they would have expected to receive if the Court had adjudged the company bankrupt.Once the Plan is approved, control of the company passes to the plan administrator (who is normally, but does not have to be, the same person as the planner who prepared the Plan). How is the process different for an involuntary reorganisation? In a situation where one or more creditors wish to start a reorganisation without the company's cooperation, a creditor( or number of creditors) can file a petition with the Court if they are owed not less than Baht 10 million (in aggregate). The criteria and consequences for the filing of a petition are then the same as for voluntary reorganisations above. Who are and what are the powers of the Planner and the Plan Administrator? Under ministerial regulations, all planners and plan administrators must have the required qualifications and be licensed. They also have to register and lodge a deposit with the Official Receiver. Such requirements will not however be applied in a case where the corporate debtor or its management is appointed as the planner or the plan administrator. What is the effect once the Plan is approved? The Plan will become binding on all parties and the control of the debtor company passes to the plan administrator. The approved Plan does not however amend the liabilities of those who are jointly liable with the debtor or a guarantor of the debtor's indebtedness existing prior to the date of the Court's approval. What happens if the restructuring is not successful or is not a realistic choice? If the reorganisation petition is not approved by the Court or the implementation of the Plan is unsuccessful, or where it is not a realistic option for the debtor company, the company may be wound up. There are two routes to achieve this: either by voluntary liquidation or compulsory liquidation. How does voluntary liquidation work? The first step is for the directors of the company to call a meeting of the board to pass a resolution for a shareholders' meeting to consider whether the company should be dissolved.This is followed by the company then holding an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM"). The purpose of the EGM is to obtain a resolution to approve the dissolution of the company and to appoint a liquidator or liquidators.Following the resolution (and within 14 days from the date of dissolution), the liquidator(s) must register the dissolution and the name(s) of the liquidator(s) of the company with the Department of Business Development of the Ministry of Commerce. The liquidator(s) must also notify the public, by placing two consecutive advertisements in a local newspaper, that the company is dissolved and that its creditors must apply for payment to the liquidator(s). Lastly the liquidator(s) will send a registered letter to the company's known creditors(s) advising them that the company is in the process of dissolution and liquidation.The liquidation process will then begin. If, at any stage in the above process, it becomes apparent that the debtor's liabilities exceed its assets, then the liquidator must apply to the Court to have the debtor declared bankrupt. What does the liquidator do? The purpose of the liquidator is to liquidate the assets of the company and pay its creditors. As soon as possible the liquidator will prepare a balance sheet and have it examined and certified by the auditor. He will then summon a general meeting to approve, by a simple majority resolution, the balance sheet.The liquidator will then proceed with the liquidation and must report his activities and the status of the accounts of the liquidation to the Department of Business Development every three months until the liquidation is completed.After the liquation is completed, the liquidator summons a general meeting to approve the liquidation accounts. The liquidator will than register a resolution of the meeting approving the accounts and the completion of the liquidation with the Department of Business Development. How is a compulsory liquidation started? A creditor may file a bankruptcy petition against a company under the Act where the debtor is insolvent, the petitioning creditor(s) is/are owed not less than Baht 2 million and the debt is a liquidated amount which is due immediately, or which can be determined.A secured creditor may file a bankruptcy petition against a corporate debtor only when:the creditor is not prohibited from enforcing payment against property of the debtor other than the security; andthe creditor states in the petition that, if the debtor becomes bankrupt, the security will be surrendered for the benefit of all creditors, or has assessed that the value of the security is insufficient to cover the debt by an amount of not less than Baht 2 million.Under the Act a company will be presumed to be insolvent if it:transfers property or rights to manage its property to a person for the benefit of its creditors, irrespective of whether such transfer is carried out within or outside Thailand;transfers or conveys its property with deceptive intent, or by fraudulent acts, irrespective of whether such transfer or conveyance is carried out within or outside Thailand;transfers its property or creates any right in rem against its property such that, if the debtor becomes bankrupt, such transfer creates what would be deemed a preference to a creditor, irrespective of whether such act is carried out within or outside Thailand;carries out acts in order to delay the payment of a debt, or prevent a creditor from receiving payment of the debt, including closing its place of business, removing property out of the jurisdiction of the Court, or rendering itself liable to be bound by a judgment ordering payment of money for which the debtor should not be liable;has its property attached under a writ of execution, or there is no property of the debtor which may be attached for payment of the debt;informs the Court in any case that it is unable to pay its debts;notifies any of its creditors that it is unable to pay its debts, or submits a proposal for composition of its debts to any two or more of its creditors; orreceives notices from a creditor demanding payment of a debt not less than twice, at intervals of not less than thirty days, and the debtor fails to pay the debt.These are only presumptions; the company can rebut them by proving that it is solvent. This is normally achieved by reference to the company's audited accounts to show that it has assets that exceed its liabilities. How is a compulsory liquidation different from a voluntary liquidation? After the Court grants an order for liquidation, the control of the debtor's estate passes to the Official Receiver (this is a government official), who must call a creditors' meeting to discuss any proposal by the company. If no proposal is put forward or it is rejected, the Court must adjudge the debtor bankrupt, and the Official Receiver is empowered to manage the property of the bankrupt for distribution amongst all creditors.In a bankruptcy, the liquidator is always the Official Receiver. After a bankruptcy order is made, the handling any claims which the debtor company may have is passed to the Official Receiver exclusively.After the debtor company is adjudicated bankrupt, the Official Receiver is permitted to sell the debtor company's assets (either on a going concern or on a piecemeal basis) by way of public auction or, with the approval of the creditor's committee (if appointed), by other means. Can the Thai Court issue a winding-up order for a foreign company? A foreign bankruptcy order has no effect on the debtor's assets in Thailand. Thai law does not provide for the recognition of foreign judgements, although a foreign judgment may form part of the evidence in a case brought against the debtor in Thailand on the same matter. It will be considered 'best evidence' if it is a final judgment given by a Court of competent jurisdiction and is not contrary to Thai public policy. Thailand is not a signatory to any international treaties on insolvency or the recognition of foreign judgments. Practice: Bankruptcy, financial restructuring and insolvency Top

Winning the New York Lotto could be a life changing experience. Millions are given away each week, and the thrill of winning is part of the fun, whether it actually materialises into cash or not. Unsure if you want to get on the action? The following explains more about the great games of the New York Lotto, and why they are calling your name.
There are several different games that you can play in the New York Lotto. Among them are the jackpot games. These pick numbers games allow the gamer to pick the plays they want to make. There are four different pick numbers games, each with their own rules and regulations. The prizes in these tend to pull a much higher potential of winnings. Millions of dollars are given away each week in the New York Lotto, so be sure to get in on the action. There are also pick games that offer daily winnings as well.
For those that do not want to play the picking or Jackpot options mentioned above, consider a scratch-off ticket instead. There are several different options in New York Lotto scratch off choices. From the lower cost options where a ticket costs one to five dollars, and those that cost more, these are easily played and winnings are instantaneously revealed with no waiting period. Scratch-off tickets have high potential, but also winners across a financial reward range, and these options from the New York Lotto make great gifts as well. If you are looking to take a risk often, then scratch-off tickets are your best bet. You can also purchase more than one ticket, just to increase the chances of winning.
You cannot win unless you play, so be sure to get involved in the New York Lotto. Pick up your scratch-off ticket or Jackpot selection, and play. However, it is important to be discipline. Don't become an addict in gambling. For those that are struggling with a gambling addiction, the gamblers anonymous programme can be a great help.

Financial service group ING on Wednesday announced plans to cut its workforce by 2,350, describing the plan as 'painful'.
Some 1,350 jobs will go at the insurance arm and 1,000 in the banking division, generating structural savings of some €460m from 2015 onwards. The measures are a result of a 'strategic' review of both operations.
ING booked sharply lower profit of €609m in the third quarter of 2012, down 64% on the year-earlier period.
Underlying operating profit from banking operations was up 16.3% at just over €1bn while the insurance result was down over 90% to €44m.
During the third quarter, ING announced a number of divestments and 'made good progress' in its 'constructive dialogue with the European Commission about revisions to the restructuring plan,' chief executive Jan Hommen said in a statement.
The European Commission ordered ING to sell off some activities in return for a €10bn bail-out in 2008.

PARIS (Apr. 24)
Official Nazi newspapers in Poland, reporting Polish attacks on Jews in Warsaw, declare the Jews should be glad that the Germans are occupying the country and restoring "order."
The reports said that the attacks occurred on Easter Sunday and were carried out apparently by Polish National Democrats and National Radicals, with many Jews being wounded by knives. Polish circles here pointed out that the Nazis in Warsaw were inciting Polish extremists to violence against the Jews.

Volunteers with Green Thumbs Use Their Fridays to Beautify Kings Park Library
For almost 20 years, a loyal cadre of Braddock residents have worked
tirelessly to improve and enhance the outside environment at the Kings
Park Library. These volunteers are members of the Friends of the Library,
and its coordinator, Norene Gerstner, serves as the Friends' Garden
Chair. Gerstner, who has been planting, pruning, weeding and mulching at
the library for 14 years, is a Master Gardener and hosts a free weekly
plant clinic from 10 AM to 1 PM on Saturdays at the Library between May
and September.
What even the casual visitor can see emerging at the library in recent years is a series of a drought tolerant, perennial and diverse gardens areas. A guiding principal for the group is to assure that the "right" plant finds the "right" location. The library grounds are designated a "waystation" for monarchs, which have both milkweed plants for the caterpillars and nectar plants for the butterflies.
Norene has also supervised 26 Eagle Scout projects at Kings Park Library. The most recent one - the restoration of a native garden in the northwest corner of the library - took place this past summer. More than 100 hours of labor were performed by Eagle Scout candidate Andy Russell and his team to complete the project.
In addition to garden work, these volunteers spend time cleaning up the pervasive litter—cigarette butts, gum, fast food trash--left on the grounds by patrons. The volunteers would appreciate the public's help in keeping the library grounds litter free.
The group's most active volunteers in recent years, include Irene Powers, Judy Nitsche, Linda Wirth, Carol Owen, Beverly Horton, Beverly Wright, Daniel McGuire and Sandi and Bruce Wallachy. Braddock District owes them a debt of gratitude. If you do not have the time to volunteer, a donation to assist with the purchase of plants and other materials can be made to the Friends of the Kings Park Library.
If you are an avid gardener, or just have an interest in learning, get engaged and join this dedicated group. Head Librarian Linda Masnik notes: "Among the highlights of visiting the Kings Park Library is our inviting outdoor space. Our customers and staff have enjoyed the gardens and natural beauty for many years. We have even brought the outside in, displaying photographs of the gardens in the library."

Singing was wonderful. The into was misleading, but that kind of thing is always good to have every once in a while. It reminded me of he Rolling Stones in "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Great, just simply, great. I'm looking forward to some more of this, and I don't usually like Heavy Metal.
Heehee, thank you! I actually got the idea from a Scorpions song (though the name of it slips my mind at the moment. It's on the Love at First Sting album). Heavy metal was never a favorite of mine, but it brings back good memories of my father. He listens to it constantly, so I'm hoping that somewhere out there, he'll hear this and be proud. Thank you for listening, we do our best!
With love,
LadyArsenic <3

Great work
I haven't listened to your stuff in a long while and now I catch a little bit of this :D. You've moved on to stuff other than classical intrumental, huh? Well, I like this. Perhaps Lady Arsenic should sing in a regular voice and then change the pitch digitally, she has a large vocal range.
Ohhhh, horrible idea! Digitally changed voices have such a fake sound, and to me it's cheating... Like when metal bands digitally speed up their songs so that they sound like better musicians. Not a good idea at all. Thanks for listening though!

Wow i love it
This is awsome it has a tarja feel, i would love to hear more of this with that voice and i would suggest making some stuff simular to phantom of the opra, this was very nice indeed, a top fave of mine now.
Awsome piece.
Ahh, Tarja. Such an ill-fated woman she was. I've been comared with her before though. >=3 Phantom would be EPIC.... But the problem is that most of them are duets, and Ragey is a pansy when it comes to singing and won't do it no matter how much I beg (although he has one of the most beautiful male voices I've heard in a long time. It sounds like a cathedral bell, it just BOOMS). ^_^ Thank you for listening!
With love,

Earmark or pork amendments were banned as the 110th Congress passed its Continuing Resolution (H.J.Res.20) to fund the nine 2007 appropriations bills that the 109th Congress neglected to complete last year. However, the funding for the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security did not escape earmarking. For example, the Defense budget includes $5.5 million for the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, $4 million for the Northern Line Extension, a railway to connect the village of North Pole (population 1,778) to the village of Delta Junction (population 840) and $1.65 million to improve the shelf life of vegetables.
Washington legislative watchdogs noted that several unidentified lawmakers privately called federal agencies asking for their requests for pet projects as a means of circumventing the prohibition of earmarks. In response, the White House Office of Management and Budget issued a directive that instructed agencies "not to obligate funds on the basis of earmarks contained in Congressional reports or documents or documents or other written or oral communications regarding earmarks."
Travel rules passed by the House and Senate limited lobbyist-funded travel, but lobbyists can still ante up for one-day trips for lawmakers to visit a site, give a speech, attend a forum or sit on a panel. New guidelines issued by the House Ethics Committee allow lobbyists to pay for a second night stay if the committee determines "that such expenses are necessary due to availability of transportation to or from the event, or in those circumstances when an additional night's stay is practically required in order to facilitate the individual's full participation in the event."
According to the guidelines, members of Congress and staff can travel first-class or use a chartered or private airplane if genuine security circumstances require it, if the scheduled flight time exceeds 14 hours and if the member can demonstrate that the cost of the travel is not higher than the cost of business-class transportation "if the traveler uses the traveler's own frequent flier or similar benefits to upgrade to first class."
Former Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) reported to a federal prison in West Virginia to begin serving a 30-month sentence for corruption as a result of his activities with lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Ney, who drew an annual Congressional salary of $165,000, will earn a prison wage of 12 to 40 cents an hour depending on his prison job and will sleep on a bunk bed in a room with 12 other inmates.
Despite the fact that the FBI found $90,000 in marked bills stuffed inside frozen food containers in the home of Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.), Democrats appointed him to a seat on the Homeland Security Committee. The FBI videotaped Jefferson accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant who was wearing a wire.
As of early March there were 1,326 bills introduced in the House and 764 in the Senate. Among aviation-related bills were:
- S.678, the "Airline Passenger Bill of Rights Act of 2007," introduced by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), would amend Title 49, U.S. Code, to ensure air passengers have access to necessary services while on a grounded air carrier and are not unnecessarily held on a grounded air carrier before or after a flight. Boxer cited a JetBlue flight that sat on the tarmac at New York JFK International Airport for 11 hours and an American Airlines flight that was on the tarmac for nine hours.
- A similar bill is under consideration in the House. H.R.1303, the "Airline Passenger Bill of Rights Act of 2007," introduced by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), would amend Title 49, U.S. Code, to improve air carrier passenger services. The bill would treat air carrier diversions, delays and cancellations, chronically delayed flights, publication of air carrier fare information and procedures for departure delays and other issues.
- H.R.1106, the "Promotion Responsibility for Our U.S. Aviation Act of 2007," introduced by Rep. Todd Tiahart (R-Kan.) would amend Title 49, U.S. Code, to restore promoting civil aeronautics to the mission of the FAA.
- H.R.1125, the "Freedom to Fly Act of 2007," introduced by Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.), would modify the FAA's age-60 retirement standard for airline pilots. The bill would allow airline pilots to fly until they reach age 65 if they are serving as a required pilot in multi-crew aircraft operations with another pilot who is not yet 60 years old.

I think I was about seven or eight when I first went to Disney World in Florida. I had a blast as a kid. The age range you're shooting for sounds right to me. There is a LOT of walking and waiting in lines, so the kids have to be okay with that. I remember we stayed in a nice hotel in Sarasota, since it was such a nice little city, and drove to Orlando (almost a two hour drive.) I don't know how my parents did it, haha.
Unfortunately, now I hate crowds as an adult, but if I have kids, I still want to take them. It's just too much fun for them.
