Subtitled "America's Gayest Magazine", Vice Versa, was the earliest known U.S. periodical published especially for lesbians.[1]
The magazine was the project of Lisa Ben (an anagram of 'lesbian'), a secretary in a Los Angeles, California Movie Studio.[2][3] By her own account, Ben had "a lot of time to herself" at work[4] and, starting in June 1947, "twice each month typed out five carbons and one original of Vice Versa.[1] She described the intention of the magazine being to create "a medium through which we may express our thoughts, our emotions, our opinions- as long as material was 'within the bounds of good taste'".[1]
The nine issues of Vice Versa created by Lisa Ben opened up a forum for lesbians to communicate with each other via readers' letters, personal essays, short fiction and poetry".[3] The publication was free, and Ben distributed each issue herself initially. Issues were later passed from friend to friend in an informal network, so that each issue may have been read by dozens[5]
Ben eventually left her job at RKO Studios, and publication of the magazine ceased in 1948.[3]

Invasive species have been removed from the vegetated corridor around the protected wetland. Last week, organic compost was spread throughout the corridor in preparation for the seeding of native grasses. This week, the corridor was seeded with a native erosion control grass mix that is quick to establish, low-growing and has good root masses for reduced erosion of soil. The native grass mix includes 'Meadow Barley' and 'Native Red Fescue' (among other native grasses) and has excellent versatility and tolerance for various weather. The native grasses may start to emerge by early next week.
This week, construction began for the much needed new stormwater system upgrade on B Avenue at State Street. During construction, B Ave. is closed to traffic between State and 1st St.
Per ODOT requirements, B Avenue will be closed 24 hours a day, between OR43 and 1st St, Monday to Friday, during storm line construction. This closure will last through early September.
Support of the business community is a high priority for the project. To maximize productivity and complete construction of the stormwater system upgrade in advance of the 2014 holiday season, construction hours are being modified on B Ave. Once crews work through the first block of B Ave., west of 1st Street, work hours will change (from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.
A milestone was reached last week, with the successful completion of the pilot hole! Drilling has been ongoing for a few weeks from either side of the river, with both drills meeting in the middle to complete the pilot hole.
Crews have now started the process of upsizing the hole to 36". More passes will be made with larger drill bits (or reamers) over the next few months until the hole is large enough for the pipe to be pulled through.
During drilling work, neighbors may hear noise from the drill rig and an increase in truck traffic. Work hours are 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. No work will occur over the Labor Day weekend, from Saturday, August 30 – Monday, September 1.
Over the last week, auger cast piles were drilled for the finished water pump station and concrete was poured for the chemical and electrical building slabs. Water testing of the solids storage tank also continued. Once the water test is complete and the coatings applied, the area around the solids storage tank will be backfilled.
Late next week, installation of the secondary power feed for the plant is expected to begin between the Kenthorpe Way plant entrance and the center of the site. This includes excavating, setting new vaults and an electrical meter slab. Neighbors close to the site on Kenthorpe Way may experience an increase in noise or potential vibration during the excavation.

Businesses will remain open on B Avenue even as construction begins next week on the first of two separate water projects, the Lake Oswego-Tigard Partnership has announced.
The first project, a stormwater system upgrade, is set to begin Monday and is slated to take three to four months. Construction work will take place on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in compliance with city-approved construction hours — much to the relief of the partnership and of B Avenue businesses, said the partnership's communications director, Jane Heisler.Open link to external content ➧
Crews successfully completed a large concrete pour for the first half of the new reservoir foundation last week. This week, crews have been monitoring the 6" slab to ensure proper curing of the concrete. The second half of the foundation is scheduled to be poured tomorrow (Friday, August 15).
Neighbors can expect to see 15-20 concrete trucks traveling to and from the site and hear noise from a concrete pump truck, from 7:00 am. The concrete pour is expected to take approximately 4-6 hours. Flaggers will guide trucks in and out of the site, so please approach the Carman Road curves cautiously.
Local Focus Magazine, "Lake Oswego and Tigard Preparing for the Big Quake," August 2014
The August issue of the League of Oregon Cities' Local Focus magazine featured the Lake Oswego Tigard Water Partnership's resiliency efforts. The article highlights how the partnership cities are taking steps to improve their odds of bouncing back after a major earthquake by requiring each of their new supply facilities to be designed to standards well above current building codes.
The Partnership was one of five Oregon cities highlighted in the magazine's City News section.Open link to external content ➧
Tomorrow (Friday, August 8th), crews will be pouring concrete for half the reservoir foundation. Expect to see 15-20 dump trucks traveling to and from the site as well as a concrete pump truck. The truck traffic and pump truck will produce some noise. Flaggers will guide the trucks in and out of the site, so please approach the Carman curves cautiously. The work should take 4-6 hours.

BBB Serving Northern Nevada offers local charities that meet the Standards for Charity Accountability the option of applying for a BBB charity seal that can be displayed both online and in their solicitation materials. The seal provides the public with a clear, concise and easily recognizable symbol that the subject charity adheres to BBB's strong and comprehensive standards. Only charities that meet the standards are eligible to apply for the seal. Participation in the seal program requires a license agreement and a flat annual fee of $150. The fees will be directed towards establishing and monitoring the seal program and helping to support BBB core reporting activities.
Please note that participation in the seal program is optional. BBB continues to report on charities that have been the subject of recent inquiries from potential donors regardless of whether that charity intends to apply for the seal or not. BBB also continues to report on both charities that meet and do not meet its standards.
In recent years, a variety of charity accountability issues have been in the public spotlight. Many charities are concerned about this and are seeking ways to distinguish their operations and to assure donors that their organizations are operating responsibly. The goal of the BBB seal program is to offer a highly visible accountability tool that will help inform donors, assist charities in establishing their commitment to ethical practices, and encourage greater confidence in giving. Charities' participation in the program is voluntary.

Integration of Derivatives Market at JPX
Japan Exchange Group (JPX) on 24 March has integrated the derivatives market operated by Tokyo Stock Exchange into that of Osaka Exchange (formerly Osaka Securities Exchange), and all trading operations have been consolidated onto J-GATE.
The integration significantly enhances market convenience by bringing a wide range of derivatives products, including those based on Nikkei 225, TOPIX, and Japanese government bonds, onto a single platform and aligning the close of the night sessions of all derivatives products to 3:00 a.m. the next day.
Following last July's cash equity market integration and consolidation of self-regulatory and clearing operations, the derivatives market integration completes the consolidation of their operations as part of JPX's ongoing efforts to raise the international competitiveness of the Japanese securities market. JPX believe that market participants will be able to look forward to even more convenient and reliable market infrastructure, and will continue to work to build attractive markets for all market users.
JPX launched futures contracts on India's CNX Nifty index on 24 March and will also be relaunching the 20-year JGB futures market on April 7 as they continue to broaden their derivatives product lineup.
The derivatives market integration was made possible with the cooperation of trading participants, information vendors, and other market users. JPX would like to take this opportunity to express appreciation for their continued support and understanding and look forward to working together to further develop the securities market.

Chow Sauces from the Other Side!
posted by September 2 at 12:50 PMon
In the current Stranger, page 29, I go on and on about a delightful old woman called Jocelyn Owens. Maybe you read a little of it. Maybe not.
If not, Mrs. Owens was the ingenious pastry chef responsible for everything on the Kingfish Cafés dessert menu, et al, and quite sadly, she passed on not too long ago. She was known around town as The Cake Lady, but she was famous for so much more than cake. Like her incredible sauces. Down home BBQ, African Peanut, Spicy Creole and Cajun my goodness!
Well, ol Mrs. Owenss daughter Debbie (who runs catering at the University of Washington) has informed me that she and Mrs. Owenss other children have big plans to duplicate and sell Mrs. Owenss very best sauces—including those mentioned above—and are working to have them ready for market next year. They hope to give a bit of the magic that was Mrs. Owens back to us. God bless them.

How Whole Dog Journal Helps
Health, behavior, and adoption tips for motivated owners.
Please remember to mention rescue groups for people looking for specific breeds. We love Newfoundlands, and are celebrating the one-year anniversary of our adoption of Terra, a brown Newfie we rescued. Terra was very stressed by the move and I wasn�t really planning on preparing another BARF (bones and raw food) diet. She doesn�t like kibble, though, so here we are again. BARF diets are a little hard to get started, but once you get a system, they�re not bad. The hardest thing for me is getting enough fresh chicken necks, since my usual grocery store doesn�t stock them, so I have to make a special trip to a different store, but I think it�s a lot cheaper than buying the prepared meat meals.

9 Places in WNY to Celebrate with a Drink
Scott and I love our cocktails and wine, it's true. But what we love more is that our new scene in NY is full of fabulous haunts for craft libations. From Buffalo to Rochester and every little town in between, you can find a beverage that will please your palette. So in honor of today, National Repeal Day (the day that Prohibition was officially repealed in 1933) we are suggesting 9 Places in WNY to celebrate our legal right to imbibe:
Aro Bar de Tapas – Scott's original claim to fame was his love for quality Gin and Tonics. Enter: Aro Bar de Tapas in Williamsville. In DC, we g&t'd our way through all of the area's best Spanish restaurants. That is one thing we haven't had to give up now that we are in WNY. We've been to Aro 3 times already, and each time we are blown away by the quality of their cocktails (and food, let's be honest). You can't be disappointed – order any G&T, a cocktail off of their new menu, or their specialty cocktail from the Buffalo Cocktail Classic – the Moniato, my personal fave.
Resurgence Brewing– You're a craft brew person, you say? Got it. So does Resurgence. Love the trendy vibe this Niagara Street brewery has in Buffalo, NY. Even though we're not craft beer experts, Scott and I both have found several in their flights that we love.
Ru's Pierogi – It might seem that it's all about Pierogi at Ru's, but with 12 local beers on tap, it has the perfect bar to celebrate National Repeal Day. But we'd judge you if you didn't get an order of pierogi. Just saying.
810 Meadworks – Had to throw in our hometown favorite, of course. This spot is transportive – you forget you're in small town NY when you walk through the doors. There is something on the menu to appeal to every palette, just ask Bryan, the owner. We love him. You know what I also love? Their version of the bloody mary, The Ghost of Mary. But be careful, the fire will sneak up on you with the ghost chili peppers they infuse…
Buffalo Proper – Having now been at the bar 3 times, we can say without hesitation this will continue to be one of our favorite cocktail bars in WNY. Order anything you like, we've pretty much had it all. And if you can get a seat talking to bar manager Jon Karel, even better. He delighted us for our first date night back in Buffalo with talk of food, drink, and DC.
The Revelry – We just had date night at The Revelry and it was a fabulous evening in Rochester. The bar program is strong and though my drink was slightly too adventurous for my palette, we applaud the innovation. The unforgettable highlight was the service that night, which was outstanding.
Good Luck – Another Rochester favorite, we sat with a few friends who have sampled every cocktail on the menu. You can't go wrong at Good Luck. Oh, and while you're sipping, order the burger. Your welcome.
Marble + Rye – Arguably one of the better cocktail programs in Buffalo, we enjoyed a few bourbon libations from their current menu. But if we had to give you a tip: for $5, order the Pickled Onion Rings (swoon, then faint.)
Vera – Just had our first experience last Thursday for Scott's birthday, and though we've only had 2 drinks from the menu, we are eager to get back for more. Moody, trendy, and right in the heart of Elmwood Village.
and an encore #10….Fox Cross Farm – Shameless plug for our farm – I had to throw this one in for kicks. Guys, Scott's cocktails are BOMB. Like, I am a lucky, lucky lady to have a budding mixologist in residence. I will be sitting in front of the tree tonight while Scott pours a glass of our favorite wine, or I'll sample one of his newest creations. I'm talking to him about creating an e-book soon….stay tuned…
So wherever you are and however you choose to celebrate, CHEERS!

, Research Paper
What is race? The Webster's dictionary defines race as any of the different varieties of human beings distinguished by physical traits, blood types, and so on. Nonetheless, I see this definition more fit for the word ethnicity than the race. In my opinion, ethnicity is a part of one's race. One's race embodies much more than just the ethnicity, which is just physical traits or blood types. It represents one's identity, culture, origin, moral values, and so on. One could belong to any particular ethnicity; yet have completely different values than his or her ethnical group. Hence, I would consider this person's race to be different from his or her ethnicity. For example, I am Korean; however I consider myself having more of American values in me than the Korean values. Consequently, I consider my ethnicity to be Korean; nonetheless, I see my race as being more American than Korean. In the book, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man by James Weldon Johnson, the narrator goes on a great journey through his life to learn about his racial background. He grew up thinking that he was a White, and he was taken by the society as a White because of his unusually White-like appearance. One day, he finds out that he is a Black. Through the journey of life, he observes and experiences the horrible side of being a Black. In the end, he ultimately decides to throw away his race as a Black, and desires to be accepted only as a White. Although it is somewhat understandable that he chooses to be a White after having seen so many horrible sides of being a Black, especially having seen a Black burned alive; nonetheless he should have never given up his own race because by giving up his own race, not only is he throwing away just his ethnicity, but also, and more importantly, he is throwing away his identity, culture, and ultimately self-pride.
One's identity is a big aspect in the society in which we are living. It is what makes one different from the other. It is who you truly are, and it is what marks your territory in the society and in the minds of other people. It is definitely not something to be ashamed of or hidden. In fact, one should be very much proud of one's own identity and should be willing to go any length in order to protect one's own identity. Without identity, one is nothing in the society. Race plays a major role in determining one's identity. Not only does a race give someone different physical traits, which determine half of one's identity, but, more importantly, it also gives someone different values and views, which make up the other half of one's identity. Accordingly, one should never forsake one's race because one is eventually forsaking one's own identity by doing so. Unfortunately, in the book, the narrator tries to hide his own race in fear of having his true identity exposed thus not being accepted to the society or being looked down upon. This is very evident in the narrator's first encounter with "Shiny" after years of not having seen or spoken to him. The narrator says, "As quick as a flash I considered all the risks I might run in speaking to him, and most especially the delicate question of introducing him to her." (Johnson 202) At the time, the narrator was with a White girl whom he was considering marrying. He was afraid that speaking to "Shiny" and introducing him to her might expose his true identity. I do not believe any of his behavior was commendable. In fact, he should be ashamed of himself for not being able to talk to his dearest friend. The narrator should realize how sad it is that a woman whom he is trying to marry does not know his true identity. Through his attempt of trying to cover up his own race thus identity, the narrator loses his own culture.
Different culture is what causes different outlooks among people. A culture leads one into viewing matters in a certain way. If two human beings were raised in different cultures, they would have different ways of viewing the world. A culture is mostly derived from a race. One's race plays a huge role in determining one's culture. Each race has certain values and morals that are different from other races. And for this reason, one should never give up one's race. By throwing away one's race, one is throwing away his culture and, ultimately, one's way of looking at the world. It is almost like one is looking at the world through the views of someone else. One has lost all of one's own values and now, one must live with the values that are not of his own. What a sad life! The evidence is even clear in the book. The narrator says, "From that time I looked out through other eyes, my thoughts were coloured, my words dictated?there is one phase of him which is disclosed only in the freemasonry of his own race." (Johnson 21) After the narrator has found out about his Black racial background, his way of viewing the world completely changes. Even in his own words, he says, "I do not think my friends at school changed so much toward me as I did toward them." (Johnson 22) He is a colored man, and he is starting to view the world through the eyes of a colored man which was actually who he is. He should have been proud that he finally found his origin and he was becoming whom he truly was instead of being in fear that people might find out that he was a Black after all. By trying to hide his race, not only is he lying to himself, but he is also trying to be someone that he is not. As a result, he loses more and more respect for himself.
One should take a great pride in his or her race. Race is one's true origin and background. It is one of the biggest aspects that shape a person to become who he is. It is something one is born with, and it stays with one throughout his or her entire life. For that reason, it is by far one of the most influential factors in one's life. For one to surrender one's race, it means that one has lost pride in one's own race and thus has lost pride in oneself. One is throwing all of one's origin and history. The narrator himself even says, "I argued that to forsake one's race to better one's condition was no less worthy an action than to forsake one's country for the same purpose." (Johnson 190) As the narrator travels through the journey of his life and observes horrible sides of being a Black, he progressively loses pride in himself until he finally feels ashamed to be a Black and finally chooses to surrender his own race. For example, after having seen a Black burned alive, he says, "A great wave of humiliation and shame swept over me. Shame that I belonged to a race that could be so dealt with?Shame at being identified with a people that could with impunity be treated worse than animals." (Johnson 187,188, 191) As a result, he does not feel proud of his own race thus not proud of himself. It continues on as the narrator meets "Shiny", his old buddy. At the time he is with a woman whom he was planning on marrying, and he is afraid that if he starts a conversation with "Shiny", his fianc? would find out about his true racial background. In this fear, the narrator fails to initiate a conversation with his dearest friend. The narrator states, "I confess that in my embarrassment and confusion I felt small and mean." (Johnson 202) As shown, the narrator loses his pride as he tries to hide his race.
Race goes beyond just ethnicity. Race represents much more than just ethnicity. Trying to hide one's own race is not a commendable behavior at all because one is ultimately throwing away one's culture, identity, and self-pride by doing so. Race is definitely something that could not be ignored. It is something that a person is born into, and it is definitely something that will stay with the person for the rest of the person's life. One should take a great pride in his or her race and should never be ashamed of it. Unfortunately, in the book, the narrator eventually chooses to sacrifice his Black race due to the harsh and horrible treatments that the Black race was receiving from the society. It might have been acceptable to some people that he has given up his race due to the harsh conditions, but, in my opinion, as the narrator himself has said it once, "?to forsake one's race to better one's condition was no less worthy an action than to forsake one's country for the same purpose." (Johnson 190) I believe he should have never surrendered his own race. Rather, I believe he should have at least tried to fight for his own race.

This is sort of embarassing. I've just started dating a girl, she's beautiful, we are very simpatico, we have a genuine interest in each other and we've had sex, maybe it's the chemicals in my brain but I really really like her. Here's where it gets sappy, I want to kiss every part of her body when we're having sex, she get's my heartrate going, I just want to spontaneously kiss her all the time, I always want to hug and embrace her, but what I don't want, is for her to her to say I'm clingy, and I do definitely give her space to breathe but I don't know, if she thinks I'm clingy that will blow dick.
Girls, does being "clingy" ever turn into just genuine love and affection?
In your minds I mean.
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
clingy is not something bad, like liking someone so much that you go crazy over them like over puppies
but not being able to do anything without another person, that is clingy
wanting to be all the time w someone is not bad at all, but being in agony cause you are not every minute w them is not healthy
you got the picture?00|00|0
Lmao believe it or not at a certain point in the relationship she'll really want you to be clingy. Not in an overly protective way, but if you want to grab her and give her a hug spontaneously then go for it00|00|0

Do Not Tell Me [2] - Poem by Gert Strydom
Do not tell me
the properties of love
as I want it just like it is
and do not tell me the physiological aspects of it
as I do see the glance in your eyes,
do know how deep your feelings are
and know each kind of way that you look at me,
know the deepest meaning and secrets
and that you have a soft and beautiful heart,
can be cheeky and impudent
or at times can cry or laugh with joy
and only do fear God
and I have lost my heart to you
and will never regret it.

Italian Rice Cakes
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: These Italian Rice Cakes are a super yummy way to use leftover rice from the night before if you have it – but it's worth cooking up a fresh batch of rice to make too! The seasoning is subtle so that the rice can be the star of the show. They taste amazing with any toppings you might associate with risotto: asparagus, shrimp and fresh tomato; bacon and grilled brussel sprouts; or argula, pancetta and shaved parmesan. —todayimight.com
Serves 5
- 2 cups cooked white rice, chilled
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Prepare rice to yield about 2 cups cooked (roughly ⅔ cup dry rice).
- Once rice has cooked, refrigerate until completely cooled.
- In a medium bowl, mix together egg, butter, flour, and parmesan to form thick batter.
- Season mixture with salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper and garlic powder and stir until completely incorporated.
- Add 2 cups of cooked rice to the mixture and stir until well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat, once oil is hot turn heat down to medium.
- Form patties with the rice mixture that are approximately 3" in diameter and about ½" thick.
- Place patties in the frying pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes until underside is golden brown.
- Flip patties and cook opposite side until golden brown - another 2-3 minutes.

Australia's Transport Minister Anthony Albanese stated (21-Apr-2011) Australia signed two historic MoUs with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman, enabling direct services between Australia and the Middle East nations. With these MoUs, officials from the Australian Government will continue working with their Saudi and Omani counterparts on finalising permanent air service agreements. Details include:
- Australia-Oman MoU: The MoU permits Omani carriers to operate up to four direct flights a week into and out of Australia's major gateway airports (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane) as well as up to seven additional weekly services for flights which make a stopover enroute at a regional airport, such as Cairns, Darwin or the Gold Coast. They also have unlimited access to any regional Australian international airport. Australian carriers can now provide up to four weekly flights into and out of Muscat, Salalah or any other Omani city when operating from Australia's gateway airports, and also enjoy unlimited access to Oman when flying from an Australian regional international airport;
- Australia-Saudi Arabia MoU: The MoU allows Saudi carriers to operate up to four direct services a week into and out of Australia's gateway airports, as well as up to seven additional flights when operated via a regional international airport. In addition, they can operate unlimited services into and out of any of Australia's regional international airports. Australian carriers can now operate up to six weekly flights into and out of Jeddah and Riyadh, and unlimited services into and out of Dammam.
The MoUs also include flexible codesharing arrangements. [more]

Microsoft kick-started the week with the launch announcement for Windows Phone 7, and while it may not have been a keynote for the announcement, Microsoft came clean on when we could expect an update that would bring Copy & Paste to the mobile Operating System. While early 2011 may not be early enough for some, it's better than nothing. And now, according to some tweets from @MS_nerd, it looks like that update may come in January.
With the announcement that Copy & Paste would be landing on Windows Phone 7 handsets some time in the first half of 2011, with no precise date to focus on, there was more than enough room to speculate when customers should expect the update. What made it worse, though, were the whispers suggesting that the update could include more than just bug fixes and Copy & Paste, but that it would also include other must-have features. This new rumor suggests that the update in January will indeed include Copy & Paste, but it will also bring Turn-by-Turn navigation in Bing Maps to Windows Phone 7 devices, as well as multitasking.
The "multitasking" will apparently be implemented through Hub integration only for the near future, and apparently it will work a lot like "app switching." While multitasking is a must-have for some consumers, if not most of them, it will all depend on how Microsoft implements the feature on the handsets. We know that the update is coming, but we don't know when. While rumors may be suggesting we won't have long to wait into 2011, we'll just have to wait until an official announcement from Microsoft is made before we can really start getting excited.

Final Fantasy V Advance
Review by Venom65437
Reviewed: 11/10/06
Best GBA port of a Final Fantasy yet
After the buggy version of Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V does everything right! This is one of the lesser known, and seemingly lesser loved games in the series, but it's actually one of the best, most fun games (not just Final Fantasy) ever!
The biggest draw of this game is the job system. Everything is still here. Some of the ability names have changed but that's it. There are also new classes never before put into the game. Just like in previous versions you can change jobs anytime you want, and you can mix and match abilities. This let's you have a sword wielding White Mage, or a Ninja that can summon Bahamut to lend a hand. There are so many different combinations of jobs and abilities, you'll need to play several times to really get to work with them all.
The story is still the same with ExDeath, and like all previous versions it isn't overly deep. But Final Fantasy V is more about the job system and fighting than a grand story. The story is typical old school Final Fantasy fare, save the crystals and the world.
I think the sound of this version is the best yet. I'm playing it mainly on my DS, so I also have the benefit of two speakers. Really though, I think the music sounds better than any other version.
We finally got a good translation too, dialogue wise. Some of the reference are quite funny. Most importantly though, there really isn't a lot of sentences that make no sense, or misspellings, or other grammatical errors.
Graphically, it's on par with all the previous Final Fantasy ports, and it's good. The colors seem brighter than older versions, and they look good. The animations that are there, are pretty good, characters with their eyes bugging out, laughing, etc.
So overall, this is a remake of a great game, and the best Final Fantasy GBA port yet.
The Good
- Job system, allowing for tons of customization, you can play a different game every time
- Replayability, you need to play it a few times to fully enjoy the job system
- Extra jobs added
- Extra dungeons added
- Good translation
- Better music
The Bad
- None really! This is the best GBA port yet! Go out and get it today!

Previously used to insulate NASA spacecraft, gas pipelines and for other industrial purposes, Aerogel has been adapted for use in buildings. It is injected into 80mm matting, which have been internally fitted to the west and south walls exterior walls. It gives an extremely high thermal performance at a fraction of the space of conventional insulation.
The silicon-based material is made up of 95% air held within a microscopic network of voids, trapping heat instantly so that it is an extremely effective insulator. Because it is also breathable, Aerogel is particularly beneficial to older buildings.

Finding A Bargain Holiday Home In Italy
|Date Added: January 07, 2013 10:56:32 AM
|Author: Marta Calligaro
|Category: Financial: Real Estate & Property
With Italy's unwavering appeal that woos 40 million tourists a year; the country's unmatched history and culture; and the relative strength of the US dollar and other currencies against the euro, there has hardly been a better time to invest in a property in Italy. Indeed, a number of real estate analysts forecast that demand in the country's housing market, especially from overseas buyers, to remain strong over the forthcoming 12 months. The Italian real estate website Homes and Villas Abroad reported enquiries for the final quarter of 2012 nearly 33 per cent higher than the year previously. Meanwhile, 2012 also saw Sotheby's enlarge its global property portfolio with a new Milan office.
So, where best to buy? With the current financial background a large proportion of buyers are naturally looking for value for money. However, hotspots like Lucca, Florence and Rome are so in-demand that it may prove fruitless trying to pick up cut-price deals here. Therefore, if you are hoping to buy on a budget, southern Italy, in particular Calabria, should feature high on your list. And more specifically in Calabria, Scalea. Scalea is not exactly the most popular coastal mecca in Calabria, the south Italian area on the instep of Italy's stiletto-shaped mainland. Being honest it wouldn't be ranked as the most bewitching, not with Briatico and San Lucido as rivals. Nonetheless, for house buyers seeking a low-priced deal, the unprepossessing location of Scalea is our principal tip for this year. Scalea has all the advantages of more renowned Tyrrhenian Sea coastal resorts – a stunning sandy beach, crystal blue waters and weather averaging a balmy 49.5F in winter and that reaches in the region of a mean of 79F in August. Even late Autumn sees typical temperatures approaching 72F.
When it comes to affordable properties – in many ways the best deals available anywhere in the Italian property sector at present – where it really makes a name for itself. Real estate prices hover a little under Euro 90 per sq ft. In other words it means a 25sq m studio apartment around 400m from the seafront can start from just Euro 20,000. A 30sq m single-bedroom sea-view property can be purchased for a mere Euro 29,000 or Euro 30,000. Not the largest, but comfortable enough for up to two vacationers – or three or four if they are ready to use the lounge as a makeshift bedroom at night-time. Add in the fact that usually both coast and town centre shopping will be around a 5-minute trip on foot and that is obviously unbeatable value.
An option somewhat bigger but still considerably within reach pricewise, a 50sq m double-bedroom property can start at about Euro 48,000 . One may also get one or more of a view of the sea, terrace and garden included with that if you shop around. In general, the typical cost of living in the south of Italy – everything from real estate prices down to the cost of a cup of coffee – tends to be much cheaper in contrast to regions such as Rome, which attract far more non-Italian tourists and are pricier as a result. The pace of daily life in this neck of the woods is inclined to be far more unflustered. This is, you quickly come to appreciate, traditional Italy. A feature that is slowly changing, with overseas visitors increasingly heading to places like Scalea in search of better value. Italians have always come on holiday here of course – all of which means rental opportunity for your investment is strong.
There is much more to Scalea than affordable homes to purchase The town has nearly 11,000 inhabitants and has that population swollen several times over during July-September as Italians and growing hordes of Britons and Americans head for the town. As well as the amazing vista, the Tyrrhenian being overlooked by mountains, the area can point to a varied heritage. It found prominence as a Byzantine sea-faring port, attracting traders from across the ancient world. A Byzantine fort and ancient wall dominate the medieval centre, perched on the hills looking down on the sea and the marina, in turn packed with modern hotels and large villas. Reaching here is simple too. The closest airport is Lamezia Terme, a little over 1hr 40 mins to the south, while Napoli airport is 2hr 20 mins by road in the opposite direction. Both are also reachable by train as Scalea has a mainline station.
The History of the Franking Machine
In 1884, a Norwegian inventor by the name of Engle Frankmussler announced his idea to improve the postal system, with a franking machine.

"There was once a time when consoles had something that PCs didn't have. They were cheaper, easier to use, more convenient. They dominated the market because they dominated our need to be lazy and catered to. Then this generation happened.
The more one considers the value that the 360 and PS3 have for the end user, the less one is able to justify their existence. Outside of a handful of exclusive games, what edge do they have? What makes them a superior choice? Nothing, declares the Jimquisition. Nothing."
But on PS3 I can play great games that are not on PC.
He acknowledges exclusives in the description (summary) I posted.
"Outside of a handful of exclusive games, what edge do they have?"
I love my xbox 360, but honestly he has great points and I mostly agree.
Back with the gamecube and other systems, consoles felt so much easier to just plug and play, but now consoles are trying to emulate PC styles while still operating under some false idea of keeping a gated console ecosystem.
Something's gotta give.
The main edge is ease of use imo. PC games are easy to install maintain for the average person until you have problems or go for mods. The average person is the key part of that.
Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games this gen and I can't find it on PC.
Come on Dont be stupid blind MRSA victims, everything he said is completely true. whether or not hes trolling the truth hurts to people who disagree.
's just how it is. sadly not many of you have the gall to see what is in front of you and admit to its obvious validity.
I completely agree. It's so much easier to just play a game on a console as opposed to a PC. Take note that I'm upgrading my PC this month. I'm a PC gamer as well as a console gamer, and I still stand by my statement.
In terms of technology, obviously it is true because a PC has a set amount of components, all of which are found in consoles. In terms of games though, it is not the case that Xbox 360 and PS3 are crap PCs, because there are a lot of games you can't get on PC.
Playing on consoles is more comfortable, accessible, lots of exclusives and you don't have to go though all the performance hassle.
And, bitch, a "handful" of exclusives? really?
enhanced multiplats isn't as good as a boat load of incredible Epic console exclusives.
and if you want enhanced multiplats, it's gonna cost you... and if you can build a PC less than $700 that's significantly better or if its even as good, not having console exclusives is an even bigger cost on top of that, plus isn't it pricy to keep having to upgrade every different part? idk im a PC newb.
and maybe you can, but how easy and how good does it look (if you can) hook up a PC to a 60inch LEDtv with a powerful amb and speakers? do monitors (which support PC visuals the best) even come in that size? cuz my cousin hooked up his gaming rig to his and mine samgsung and sony bravia and it didnt look as good as his little ass monitor.
and correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it more likely for a PC HDD to crash than a Consoles? and your PC can get hacked and or get a virus 20X more likely then a consoles.
and PC's shooters are full of hacks, mods and glitchers which make it a bad experience online imo. unless they fixed this.
consoles are more tied together as far as a fun community goes, unless they have something like Xbox live that i am unaware of where you can see all of your friends and what games they are playing and jump in and join different games together in a snap of a finger etc.
^^^ of course you can hook up a gaming pc to your tv, use the same hdmi cable
Ps3 and Xbox 360 use the same hdd on pcs and laptops
On steam you can see what your friends are playing and can jump right in their mo games
PC gaming is just too much of a hassle. I don't like searching the web for drivers and such. I also like to play lying on my bed on my 50inch plasma with the gaming headphones on. I know a PC can be made to play on a tv but it's still a hassle trying to find a surface for your keyboard and mouse to sit on, and it usually takes awy from the comfort level. I could careless about PC's being able to squeeze out a little better performance. I'm fine with my "crappy" console.
really who wouldnt agree with this article? besides the few games that are sony exclusive, and the cheaper price to play current games... consoles offer nothing better than pc.
Thing is, the exclusives are more than "a handful."
Now I won't get into a rant about a handful being subjective, but time and time again passion (cough..fanboyism..cough) leads to parties on both camps listing EVERY exclusive in a console's library.
That being said, there's enough proof in that pudding for consoles being a consumer's choice.
Most people own a PC or a laptop...its not like the hardware is obsolete. But not everyone 'games' on them. Are the graphical specs on PC's built for gaming more powerful? Sure. But the cost/time/money convenience of consoles is undeniable.
Hence why they are the primary choice for gamers. For me...console (for gaming) all the way.
"and correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it more likely for a PC HDD to crash than a Consoles? and your PC can get hacked and or get a virus 20X more likely then a consoles."
Red ring of death? But I suppose with a console you can pop it open and fix any problems you have? Right?
Do consoles have a HDD or SSD? If its a HDD then its no different than on PC. Mine are quite a few years old and still chugging along. If my drive crashes I'll just go out and get another and plug it in, problem solved. I might even get an SSD.
Most mods are easy to install. Games like Skyrim have a mod manager or use the Steam Workshop.
As far as problems are concerned, I personally have had very few issues. They were related to copy protection and DRM, which is why I chose to use Steam exclusively. This is only my experience, but I have never had issues with my games on Steam.
I'm not arguing the superiority of the PC as far as ease of use, just pointing out flaws in a couple arguments. For me PCs can be more difficult at times. But fixing those problems can be far easier and much faster than some think. With just basic computer knowledge you can build a PC. As far as software issues are concerned, the internet is all you need.
PCs can be more complicated, but if that's the price for an open platform, I gladly pay it.
Okay, but why do you buy consoles/gaming rigs? To play games.
So yes, I see that as a major edge. Is this really what we've come to as a community? Arguing over petty indifference when at the end of the day it's about the games?
Except that it's not just a handful, and the games are what MAKE the console. If you have great specs but no games then what's the point?
"Outside of a handful of exclusive games, what edge do they have?"
That IS the edge. His comment/argument is sooo much like the little kid in that Bad Teacher commercial...about who is better LeBron or Jordan? Here ~ http://www.youtube.com/watc...
But not in the video. Seems like that would have to be a terrible oversight.
It's not necessarily an oversight rather than focusing on his points. Yes, every console has its own identity with its exclusives; but who can't figure that out on their own already? Each has their own "mascots" that consumers know is specifically for that system to begin with.
I personally think that by strictly focusing on the major cons that been with PC gaming for quite some time and how some of those problems mirror what we're seeing on this gen consoles his argument has less "unnecessary fluff."
Consoles are better than PC's to the average game consumer, because they don't have to do much to play the games they love. Consoles are plug and play machines.
Desktops are being phased out for laptops and now tablets, and many of the desktops in homes, are workstations or personal computer for the entire family, so gaming isn't it's primary use.
Also with consoles you just stick the game in for you machine, and you're ready to play (in most cases). With PC games it's not always so simple. Sometimes you have to install the game, or check to make sure your settings are the best for you computer, and if you want an optimal experience then you may have to upgrade you GPU and RAM. And even though all of those things are easy for any person with a bit of tech knowledge, together it's too much for the average consumer.
It's dozens of them per system.
It's accessibility.
More comfortable.
Everyone's at the same level.
No stressing about keeping up.
Local multiplayer.
Ready to play right out of the box.
People don't buy consoles to use them as PCs. Everyone already has a PC, so they get a console for pure gaming purposes.
PC gamers are not going to convince console gamers of anything and vice-versa.
Consoles still rule three things mostly.
1) Ease of use - even for digital distribution games: ever tried downloading and playing a game on steam, waiting for it to download only so that a three step installation process of DirectX,DotNet,SomeOtherCrap will take forever? And then the game will try to auto-set the graphics to the wrong resolution, crashing on an error message that you'll have to google only to realize that your ATI/Nvidia drivers are out of date?
Sure, consoles are also getting more cumbersome with mandatory installs, updates and whatnot. But the story above is the PC experience for you - and that is a huge disadvantage for people who want a relatively hassle-free experience.
2) Ease of development: You have to pay royalties to Ms/Sony/Nintendo but you get something in return: a fixe hardware that will guarantee your game will work exactly the same on every unit sold. Good luck having that on the PC, with so much variance in hardware configuration that you can't really code efficiently or rely on any machine having enough free memory because everything goes through the OS, you need to downscale graphics and cater to the lowest common denominator or otherwise you risk of loosing some of the customer base (mostly laptop owners who probably constitute half of the PC market today), and QA becomes a nightmare since you have to check your game on thousands of different hardware configurations.
3) Leveled playing field. Multiplayer is just better on consoles because you know that people are using the same hardware and peripherals: no people who pay more for 200DPI mouse or keyboards with auto-programed shortcuts will get an unfair advantage. It's harder to hack console games and run unverified code with aimbots, wallhacks and what not.
It's not perfect of course, with glitches still being abused like hell until the developers sort them out. But it's much better than the state of play on the PC, and the risk of getting your entire console and profile banned forever (especially on the X360 where online still costs money) is a serious turnoff for most of the cheaters.
That's about it (there's also the issue with developers sometimes butchering the PC version and cutting features like offline co-op or not supporting gamepads of messing up the aspect ratio - but that's entirely they're fault). But these main points (outside a handful of exclusive games) are very important from both players and developers perspectives.
...and this just in a Honda is just a crappy Ferrari. :( shame on me for not stating the obvious as eloquently as this guy :(
"But on PS3 I can play great games that are not on PC."
vise versa......
Play this on your ps3..
Third person adventures & sports is the oly think console have now over pc.
Uncharted 1,2,3 = third person.
Infamous 1,2 = third person.
Heavy rain = third person.
Beyond = third person.
God of War 3 & Ascension = Third Person.
Last Guardian = third Person.
ratchet and clank = third person.
The Last Of Us = Third Person.
Ps3 has best third person games!
Shooters, Stragegy, MMORPG, Mech Games, Variety of Racing Sims, Simulators, 1000's of Indie Games, Free Content = PC!
Third person games on my pc
Gta 4
Saints row 3
Max Payne 3
Spec ops the line
Assassins creed series
You invalidated your whole argument by mentioning games that haven't even released yet.
Console gamers quite often argue their system of choice with upcoming games, so the entire foundation of your statement is invalid.
The point is not about when the games are coming out but rather that the prior statement can be made either way. Both platform have their fair share of exclusives. Saying one platform is better than the other based on it having exclusives is a very grasping at straws argument.
What about upcoming Free to play game Dust 514. Or killzone 2&3 or MAG.....
I just choose not to.
Why? Because nearly EVERYONE including console gamers already own a PC.
It's a choice, like many other console gamers make for various reasons.
It doesn't make you an elite member of an exclusive gaming club to be able to play PC games. It's whether or not you give enough of a f*** to keep up with the hardware.
Anyway, if you're only playing on one system(PC or console) then you're missing out. I don't, because I diversify every now and then :)
'StrongMan' wasn't dissing PC, so that post you made was unnecessary.
He was making a good point as to why HE plays his PS3. He wasn't attacking or saying that PCs don't have any exclusive games (as unheard of as they may be... trollololol)
I agree with the free content since we pirate them all. =D
I have consoles for the exclusives, but all multi plat games I much rather play on my pc.
But think about why these games are exclusives, the studios are owned or get paid by Sony. Imagine how good uncharted or infamous would look on the pc, but that will never happen thanks to Sony.
You don't play pc exclusives you are missing out!
Also Sony already removed Onlive from bluray players & Have not removed Gaikai from the pc.

"There are a variety of OSes," he added. "But we're focusing first on Android. There's also Windows, iOS and so forth, but we don't have the resources to make it compatible with everything from the start." - Kaz Harai
hmm what technology would make games compatible on ps3, psp, psVita android, ios & windows from the start?
Think about it..
I guess they have the resource now..
well until its proven that these games can run on pc i can imaging how they would look on pc they would look like mario for nes
"But think about why these games are exclusives, the studios are owned or get paid by Sony. Imagine how good uncharted or infamous would look on the pc, but that will never happen thanks to Sony."
Funny for all that power, your still wanting console exclusives ported to pc to play, is the pc really that stale.
Thanks to sony, it's their product dumbass, i am really tired of all you cheap ass gamers wanting every game to be multiplatform or tailored to your platform.
Consoles will always be inferior to pcs, because they are a small closed system and can't be upgraded with the latest and greatest.
Anything beyond the technical aspescts is just an opinion piece.
Jim talking the truth as usual. love this guy.
He's flamebaiting and trolling as usual, which is probably why you love him.
His point isn't anything new or unique, he's just repeating an observation most of us have noted years ago and blowing it completely out of proportion to get people riled up. While the gap in ease-of-use between consoles and PCs has gotten smaller, it's still a giant one. Anyone who tells you otherwise is sensationalizing.
he is the only person in the gaming journalism world who speaks his mind and doesn't care if he doesn't get his review copy of a game.which IMO is why a lot of journalists keep there trap shut.
you should watch all his videos and see exactly how much sense he talks.
i have liked jim for a long time now NOT just because of this video.
PCs dont have any games
are more expensiv
are much more hassle
1. Don't have any games? Oh, dear. You see, the PC actually has a hell of a lot more exclusives than the PS3 and 360 put together. However, most of these are indie titles that perhaps aren't advertised as they should be.
Also, I'd like to point out that indie =/= worse than AAA titles. In fact, there's a number of them that could teach AAA games a couple of new tricks, so...
2. Well, they certainly are a hell of a lot more expensive, I'll give you that, but...
3. Much more of a hassle? No, I'll have to disagree with you there. people REALLY like to exaggerate the difficulty of PCs. If you can install a game on your PS3 or whatever, know that it isn't really any harder to do that on PC.
"But what about all of the driver problems!" Haha, your drivers either automatically update or they come up and inform you that there's a new update and that you should download. It really isn't hard to update your drivers.
"But I like sitting on my couch, it's more comfortable!" As said in the video, you can hook up your PC to your TV and play games in 1080p rather than 720p.
"The controller is more comfortable." Well, if people didn't figure out that they could plug their controllers into the PC for this long, they have problems.
"What about all of those problems that come with the PC, like FOV issues and mouse acceleration?" Most of the time, you can very quickly and easily look for an FOV line in the game's config file. If not, there are a growing number of programs (Flawless Widescreen, for instance) that fix the FOV problems by giving you a slider that goes to about 110, among other options. For mouse acceleration or mouse smoothing problems that can't be resolved through a config file, there's almost always someone who's released a fix for that.
Look, if I knew how to make my PC work nearly any game when I was 12 (I'm 15 now) there's no reason in the world that adults can't do the same. 10 seconds in Google will solve most of the problems that you couldn't figure out already. Trust me, PC gaming really isn't much of a hassle at all.
Doesn't have any games? wow, another fanboy that has no clue what he is talking about.
And those are just the exclusives. (Not even including indie titles which number in the hundreds)
The PS3 and 360 combined don't have half as many games.
PC games and PC gaming is actually cheaper than console games and gaming in the short run.
Games on consoles coats anywhere from $5-$20 more for the same exact title.
Moreover that same game on the PC runs smoother, looks better and has in may cases community mods for said game all free.
If you add up all the games you have bought on your console that are also on the PC, that alone cost you more $$$ depending on how many games you buy a year.
Obviously StraightPath, your path is crooked and you do not PC game.
PCs don't have any games?! Why didn't anyone tell me. I must have been hallucinating this whole time.
Seriously, you prefer consoles and I prefer my PC. Which is why I don't own any consoles. I'm content with what I have just like you.
"are much more hassle"
Well that's your problem , anyone with half a brain doesn't care.
The PC is not expensive. The summer sale is just around the corner, with 50-75% off on basically everything.
So true StrongMan, and yet some people still try to downplay the importance of exclusives. Bewildering.
It's true, without exclusive games, consoles have no edge over the capabilities of a PC. None. I love companies that support their consoles with exclusive games though since that is what makes them unique and appealing.
@ StraightPath...
WTF, did you recently awaken from brain surgery? PC don't have any games? PC has and continues to get more exclusive games than most current consoles combined, whether they're retail, downloadable and/or indies. And when you factor emulators into what a PC can run, that's hundreds of thousands of games from previous generations. Don't talk nonsense.
Plus, PCs are more expensive if you choose to have a really high-end rig... buying an Xbox 360 and paying for Live over a number of years can probably be just as expensive if you only have a decent setup. But if you have a job and can afford it and actually see the benefits, you would appreciate the difference.
The PC is an awesome thing.
And on PC I can play great games that are not on PS3.
Your logic is flawed.
I see Jim is on another one of his hit generating rants!!!
By the way StrongMan I agree.
Could people really imagine the world without consoles? It would be one bleek future! Pcs optimized to the lowest common denominator! How that for what the consoles add.
I just thought that I would edit my comment, most people dont game on $1200 pcs and most don't know how to build a proper rig, most don't research specs.
"I see Jim is on another one of his hit generating rants!!! "
Lol thank you could not agree more...He call's Game Consoles utter shi_ PC's but sure takes and cash'es his check in reviewing said game consoles, from his job! lets see what kinda of market he would have without game consoles pushing Advert's there way.
what would His "over inflated EGO of an Arrogant twit" of an attitude that have to say then?
He loves hearing his own self centered voice. Here is a hint Jim...Many Gamer's care less about your paid diatribe, and just go on about their way an just go about popping in the next game. into what ever system they enjoy and play the [email protected] games.
hey jim here you go
Narcissists; How to Identify the Self-Centered, Self-Interested, Egotistical, Arrogant, and Conceited Among Us
"The most important thing to remember is that narcissists are not thinking of you at all."
fits jim to a tee
I have yet to catch a virus on my consoles either!
honestly noone plays pc i wish they would stop trying to convince ppl to stop playing on their consoles we rather play nothing then the pc its for nerds we rather game on consoles like the rest of the world.
Wow Mr. One Bubble. You so smart. You go on gaming websites and don't consider or ever thought you might possibly be a nerd as well?
you cant play PC with a friend or more beside you.
This guy gets it. Consoles are a social thing. You invite friends over with their consoles and some pizza and have a great time.
Now try to invite your friends to your house with their PCs. Yeah, it's a pain.
Bot on PC I can play game many great games that are not on consoles.
PS3 is NOT a crap computer, noone realizes that it is very powerful
And on pc I can play great games that aren't on PS3?
What a daft argument...
Lol a handful of exclusive games? more like outside 100 or so exclusives. I really hate this Jim dude. Let me explain why people buy consols. You can relax better when playing them, they hook up to your tv so less room and they have dozens of great games you'll never find on PC. Plus you don't have to upgrade them every few years to run the latest games
God of trolls.
His ascent to defy the gods stationed atop Mount N4G continues, as he bravely latches onto the lumbering website titan, escapistmagazine.com.
Thanks for that rather astute observation there, Captain Obvious. (>.<)
I really don't understand why some PC gamers fell the need to act condescending to console gamers.
Fatboy doesn't care about PC gamers either, he just writes what he thinks will annoy the most people, that's Sterling's style.
They are pissed off because they have to sit on a chair at the desk. That Carpal tunnel syndrome doesn't help either.
I would really like to agree with you but unfortunatly my leather sofa and HDTV wont let me.
Yes it is a small TV (26") but the point is the same. I am going to be getting a 40" LED soon.

This actually isn't about sex, but I am inspired by the HBO show in writing this post. Today I had coffee with my girlfriends, 3 girlfriends. The 4 of us sat at a table and talked, ranted, comforted, and vented. (Did you know rant means to speak or shout in an impassioned way?) I know that life is approximately 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to that 10%. I want to shout in an impassioned way BLAH BLAH BLAH to that last statement. Ok I won't, but I kind of already did. Sometimes you have to keep on keeping on in spite of the 10%. Sometimes you have to find a little comedy and a little inspiration to help get some clarity.
Friends can help you get through. Coffee can help too. Pretty spaces don't hurt either. So just for a moment let's look at this:
Oh gosh, I'm about to do it again (read yesterday's post???)—Life is "Big". I challenge you today to think of things that inspire you and that make you laugh when you have to "keep on keeping on".

Total $0.00
United States Construction Pipeline Continues Moderate Growth with Hotel Projects Up 13 Percent YOY
May 11, 2017 10:41am
May 11, 2017 – PORTSMOUTH, NH – Lodging Econometrics (LE) reports that the Q117 United States Construction Pipeline currently stands at 5,032 Projects/602,034 Rooms, up 13% by projects Year-Over-Year (YOY). There are 1,511 Projects/197,450 Rooms Under Construction, up by 155 projects YOY or 11%. Projects Scheduled to Start in the Next 12 Months, at 2,414 Projects/272,487 Rooms, were up 367 projects, 18%. Projects in Early Planning at 1,107 Projects/132,097 Rooms were up by 39 projects or 4%.
This is the 21st consecutive quarter of growth, but the Pipeline is still a distant 851 Projects/183,513 Rooms away from the Q208 peak of 5,883 Projects/785,547 Rooms. This moderate Pipeline growth can be attributed to the tightening of loan availability, the recent rise of interest rates with the expectation of more increases on the horizon and a slowing economy near full employment.

Freeloader: The Sequel
Some people will hate on change only because they are told to do so.... they call this the 21st century for a reason moreluck...
I fully support alternative energy. Why wouldn't you want to harness free energy? There's so much wind at my house, that if I could, I'd drop a windmill on the corner of my property in a heartbeat.
Is it the ONLY way to go? Not at all. Much like some cars are hybrids and some are gas powered, it does put less emissions into the environment, which can only be considered a good thing
And when democrats controlled BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS a few years ago, they continued these tax breaks for big oil.
Don't think that it went unnoticed that you ONLY attacked Republicans.
I have 28 solar panels on my home.
I don't understand how people are not going solar with these rising electric rates the last few years.
The Cape Cod Wind Project , a series of offshore wind structures is going into its second decade without being built .
US Sen ted kennedy did everything in his power to kill the idea . Seems the wind farm would be 7 miles off shore from his family's compound and so he called a nimby .
Next house we buy we're gonna hit with solar. I'd love to get a check FROM the electric company. That would be a nice change of pace
Funny how the dems are all for alternative energy projects.
As long as it's not near them.
With the republicans controlling BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS this year, I will bet you we still run a national deficit.
Don't think that it went unnoticed that you only attacked Obama and democrats with the last six years of deficits.
Quickest way to drop the Federal deficits ....
inform all people within the USA that welfare is only for citizens .
But in order for that to work all D's would have to be fired first .
Quickest way to stop illegal immigration is to stop hiring them. Business wants the cheap labor more than they want the borders closed. Neither party really wants to solve this problem.
Are you willing to pay $10 for a head of lettuce?
Depends on how big it is.
Oddly enough, people against raising the minimum wage use the exact same argument.
Except you have them installed in your basement.
Yes we will run a deficit.
But with Republicans controlling both houses it should come down like under Clinton when the Repubs controlled both houses.
And was I wrong?
The next step with solar.
I got Geothermal at my house. Largest electric bill this winter was 235 bux for a 3000 sq ft house, not bad at all. Electric bill is usually 120 bux normally maybe 160 during the summer.

Vintage motorcycles are being collected by the millions of enthusiasts from around the world. They might only ride them for leisure, and love to take care of their precious collections. These motorcycle enthusiasts get a great sense of satisfaction, when they are able to restore the old antique bikes to good working condition.
You will also come across some interesting people who find pleasure in building the whole motorcycle from the scratch. The only problem with the vintage bikes is that the parts can be tough to come by, mostly because the companies will have stopped their manufacturing.
Online Shopping: The Best Way to Purchase Vintage Motorcycle Parts
As you may know, some motorcycle enthusiasts spend long hours looking for the parts for their vintage motor bikes. They hunt tirelessly around the antique stores in their neighborhood and at online stores, until they find what they want for their motorcycles.
Online shopping has opened doors for people, who are willing to sell and buy the vintage motorcycle parts. However, it is important that you check the authenticity of the websites, their privacy policy and terms and conditions, before making a purchase.
By shopping online, you can now sit in the comfort of your own home or office, and browse different kinds of antique models and motorcycle parts available. No more of visiting garage sale, boot sale, estate sale and motorcycle repair shops on weekends. However, when you are purchasing antique motor bike parts online, it is important that you do proper research on the type of part that you want.
It is necessary that you gather as much information as you can, before investing on the parts you want. You could also get information from the sellers. There are many websites that provide detailed information on all the products that they sell along with the pictures. They also label their items on sale with NOS, 'new on shelf' or 'new old stock'. This means that the particular product is unused and was on shelf for a long time.
Thoroughly go through their catalogue, check specification of the items you want, compare prices, and look for discounts, if any. You must also go through their return and shipment policies carefully. Besides this, also find out how they accept payment. Is it COD, online banking or debit or credit card payment?
Once you've finalized the spare part, check with them whether it is in working condition or not. Buying something, which is of no use, is a complete waste of money. You could also call them up or use their online chat support service to clear any doubt that you might have regarding the products on sale.
