Telemarketing fraud case includes shifting cash, a dead witness and a vanishing suspect.
By Bill Coats, Times Staff Writer
Published February 22, 2008
TAMPA - Ira Rubin sat behind a locked door at his offices on N Dale Mabry Highway, stubbornly refusing to admit a host of federal agents demanding to get in.
"They were 15 seconds from smashing a window and opening that door" when Rubin relented, said James Davis, a Federal Trade Commission attorney, recalling the Dec. 13, 2006, confrontation.
The FTC had sued Rubin two days before, and a federal judge ordered the takeover of his 24 businesses and a freeze of his bank accounts.
Still pending today, the suit accuses Rubin and his companies of helping nine Canadian telemarketers scam thousands of Americans with the false promise of credit cards.
In the office, Rubin answered questions for a while.
Then he left. "He said he had to go to the airport to pick up someone," Davis said. "He said he would be back within a matter of minutes or hours."
Instead, he didn't come back for months.
He raced to beat the freeze on his bank accounts. At Regions Bank alone, he cleaned out $320,000. At three other banks, another $250,000.
Then, despite court orders to limit his personal expenses to $7,000 a month, Rubin went on a party spree that would make Hugh Hefner proud:
High-stakes gambling in Las Vegas. Trips to Costa Rica, London, Amsterdam, Toronto, Aspen, New York, some with female companions.
Last May 28, Rubin and a friend walked into Cartier Jewelers at the Wynn Las Vegas and dropped $9,525 for a bracelet and other items.
In a deposition in October, Rubin admitted he lost $36,000 at two Las Vegas casinos alone.
Davis asked Rubin to explain a half-dozen flights to Costa Rica.
"De-stress," he replied.
"And?" Davis asked.
"Colombian girls," Rubin said.
"Poker," Rubin said.
Minutes later, "Why did you go to Panama?"
"Panamanian girls," Rubin answered.
"He's really just an extraordinary individual," said Davis. "I've never had a defendant do as much violence to a court order as he has."
Millions lost
The Chicago-based Davis also has never experienced an outcome like what happened with Phoelicia Daniels, Rubin's wife.
Just before the feds moved in on Rubin, he moved out on Daniels. Rubin paid $625,000 for a condo at Indian Rocks Beach.
Daniels, 45, stayed behind in her $273,000 house in Pebble Creek, north of Tampa. She continued to run New Tampa Tan on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.
Daniels also was a target of the FTC lawsuit. It didn't accuse her of violating the law, but of receiving some of the money Rubin made in the schemes.
Last Friday, Davis came to Tampa to question Daniels under oath. She said she paid $500,000 for New Tampa Tan in 2005, and now it's worth about $14,000. They discussed an audit.
Daniels, a diabetic, was found in her house the next day - collapsed, attorneys say. She died Tuesday at Tampa General Hospital. The cause of her death hasn't been disclosed.
Rubin, 49, has a criminal record dating to 1984, when an Arkansas judge sent him to federal prison for interstate transportation of stolen securities. He returned to the federal pen from western Missouri in 1995, serving 37 months for wire fraud.
In Tampa he assembled a raft of companies, led by Global Marketing Group Inc., that dealt with customers once telemarketers signed them up. Rubin's companies could extract money from customers' bank accounts and could answer their phone calls.
Davis said Rubin's businesses also served online gambling enterprises, untaxed cigarette sellers and online pharmaceutical sellers.
"He was not a risk-averse person," Davis said.
The Canadian telemarketers targeted consumers with poor credit, promising credit cards in exchange for up-front payments. With the victims' bank account information in hand, Rubin's companies obtained their money.
The victims never got credit cards. Their losses are "in the tens of millions of dollars," Davis said. He's trying to recover some of that.
'Desperate acts'
The FTC is authorized to sue violators of its laws, not send them to prison. But as investigators dug up Rubin's financial records, Davis began thinking of incarceration.
The money Rubin swept from local banks the day he was raided included $124,000 that was wired two days later to Chennai, India. The company appointed to run Rubin's enterprises now is trying to retrieve funds from the Philippines, Belize, Great Britain and Israel.
Rubin used a new American Express card to rack up $95,000 in purchases during the first 10 months of last year. On one day, Rubin told Davis under oath that he didn't have the card. Records later showed Rubin charged $800 to it that day.
Rubin's attorney, Hector Lora of Hollywood, Fla., did not return a telephone call from the St. Petersburg Times Thursday.
But in a court filing in October, he said Rubin acknowledges the spending "was not a wise thing to do."
"His actions can only be explained as the irrational and desperate acts of a desperate man undergoing tremendous duress and mental anguish ...and reluctant to let go of a standard of living and way of life to which he had become accustomed," Lora wrote.
On Jan. 30, U.S. District Judge James Moody decided Rubin should be arrested for contempt of court.
But Davis thinks Rubin took yet another flight to Costa Rica.
"He has friends and business associates in San Jose, and the surrounding area," Davis said.
Phoelicia Daniels' attorney said she "looked great" in Friday's deposition, but was stressed by the lawsuit.
"I think any person would be affected by that, just in terms of the gravity of it," said the attorney, Lansing Scriven of Tampa.
Her brother Jason Daniels of Leominster, Mass., was in Tampa Thursday to collect his sister's body.
"She was beautiful," Daniels said. "She was full of energy. She loved everybody. She talked to everybody. She was full of life."

text: After battling trainers along the sea currents west of Pacifidlog Town, I Surfed towards Slateport City. I stopped by several islands along the way and I was able to gain more experience from the trainers there. I eventually reached the shore of Slateport City and I healed my team at the Pokemon Center before I set off towards Mauville City. I stopped by the Trick Master's house along the way to compete in one of his puzzles, but I ended up staying there longer than I thought I would. I left after receiving his prizes and I flew back to Lilycove City. I headed to the Safari Zone west of the city and I roamed around the Safari Zone, looking for wild Pokemon that I hadn't yet captured. I saved after catching a Rhyhorn.

Look For Hamster Overgrown Teeth or Nails
Two particular problems that even normally healthy hamsters can get are overgrown teeth and overgrown nails. These are hamster health problems that you can help prevent by carefully observing your hamster.
Here's what to look for and what to do about these hamster health issues.
Overgrown teeth causes
If you look inside your hamster's mouth, you'll see two incisor teeth in their upper and lower jaws. Throughout the hamster's life, these teeth continue to grow. A hamster must gnaw these down or face serious health problems.
If these teeth grow too long, they can begin to cut into his or her cheeks. This can result in your hamster getting mouth sores and being unable to eat properly.
There are other signs of tooth problems including a loss of appetite, drooling, or your hamster having trouble breathing.
Another reason for overgrown teeth could be a broken tooth. This can cause the hamster's other tooth to grow too fast because it doesn't have another tooth to help with the gnawing process. If you have an older hamster, this is something to look out for.
Hamster food could also be a cause. If your hamster is concentrating on just eating sunflower seeds, this can result in a calcium deficiency. Lack of calcium can also result in a hamster tooth breaking.
What to do about overgrown teeth
Your first line of defense against an overgrown tooth is making sure your hamster has plenty to gnaw on. That would include:
- Hard foods, including fresh vegetables
- Treat blocks
- Chew toys (Made of wood that's not too soft)
- Small dog biscuits
- Wire cage bars
All of these will help wear down your hamster's teeth.
You should be regularly checking your hamster's teeth since they grow so fast. If you see overgrowth or a sore mouth, you should get your hamster to a vet. A vet can also show you how to trim a tooth that's too long. This can be tricky, so don't try it by yourself until the vet has shown you how.
Overgrown Nails
Some hamster breeds, such as Dwarf Campbell's Russians have long nails, but many other breeds do not. So if you notice your hamster's nails getting very long and even curling under their toes, it means it is time to trim the nails.
Three ways to do this are:
1. Taking your hamster to the vet. You may want to do this the first time you see your hamster's nails getting too long just so you can see how it's done. But if you do this every time you want to trim your hamster's nails, it can get expensive.
2. Using sandpaper so your hamster trims its own nails. With this method, you line either a part of the hamster cage or a separate box with fine sandpaper. You then let the hamster play in that part of the cage or the separate box for a while. This may or may not work depending on how active your hamster is.
People also try putting the fine sandpaper in the hamster exercise wheel. This may work for some hamsters, but others may then refuse to run in their wheels.
3. Do it yourself. If you try to clip your hamster's nails yourself, there's a good chance your hamster will bite you. This is really a two-person job.
Here's how to trim your hamster's nails:
- Wrap the hamster is a small towel with feet and paws exposed.
- Your partner should tightly hold the hamster and distract him or her with some treats.
- You cut the nails, VERY CAREFULLY, with nail clippers (small pet clippers are preferred)
- Trim only the tips of the nails.
- Have some styptic powder available. If you cut too much and see some red, you can use the powder to quickly help stop the bleeding.
Again, for the first time you may want to bring your hamster to the vet to see how it's done.

Tennessee may have less than enthused Vols faithful with the the hiring of Cincinnati's Butch Jones, but I have a lot of positive things to say about the hiring. One thing I think may go over smoother is this potentially new helmet design shown off on Twitter by a couple of Tennessee players.
Kicker Derrick Brodus tweeted this image (below) saying it was designed by @TheBEZ11. I do not know if these helmets are official or not, but I absolutely love them.
You will notice that the overall helmet design is pretty straight forward, but take a closer look at the helmet stripe. The stripe is influenced by Tennessee' signature checkerboard end zone pattern, and adding it to the helmet is a fantastic idea. It almost makes me wonder why nobody thought to do this before.
Here is another look at all angles…

Rent the perfect look
Have a wedding or an awards function to grace, but don't want to shell out a bomb for a designer saree or a chic black number? Dialadress.com has answered your prayers with a service to help you decide what to wear
When designer Sonia Mehra saw her sister and friend having an agonising time deciding what to buy for a wedding, especially when everything they liked for the one-time occasion was extremely expensive, they hit upon the idea of Dial A Dress. "I wanted to give a solution and offer services where I could replace the angst of people with joy and so, decided on this concept of saree and dress rentals," explains Mehra.
Save that cash
Everyone thinks twice before spending exorbitant amounts on designer sarees, especially when they intend to wear it for a day. Dial A Dress makes available designer clothes, which can be rented, hence saving a lot of money. "People are warming up to the idea of renting sarees.
They have realised that why buy a day's wear when you can rent it," explains Sonia, adding, " We go the extra mile to give the customer a wide choice and a range so they look good on every occasion." Along with sarees, Dial A Dress also rents out a gamut of products to suit the needs of different individuals. The collection includes fashion jewellery, bags, western wear, eveningwear, corporate and casual wear.
Sonia believes that there are plenty of advantages of renting out a saree. "You manage to get a classy, unique look each time, you don't have to spend thousands on something you probably will never wear again, when you are done with the dress, simply return it and you are all set to rent something fantastic for the next event and most importantly, you still have plenty of money left in your pocket," she counts.
Rentals are decided keeping in mind the kind of saree or dress that is being rented. "Casual wear starts from Rs 500 upwards, lounge wear or resort wear starts from Rs 1500 upwards while the exclusive range of designer sarees and Suits start from ` 3000 upwards," informs Sonia.
Designs with a cause
Sonia is also going all out to do her bit for a humanitarian cause. Since the designer lost her mother to cancer some time ago, she decided to do channel her efforts for those who have had this deadly disease. "When I lost my mom to cancer, something snapped inside. I wanted to dedicate a part of my earnings to benefit thousands of women who are fighting a similar battle. A part of my earnings from Dial A Dress will go towards helping people with cancer and also towards the research on breast cancer," shares Sonia.

We all struggle with comparison at one time or another—in fact, it's one of the most common and destructive daily habits that humans possess. Mark Twain once said that comparison is the death of joy. We compare our jobs, relationships, clothes, homes, Instagram followers—just to name a few—to those of friends, acquaintances and strangers (often without even realizing it!). But it's important to remember that we're usually comparing our reality to another's highlight reel. It's easy to compare our beginning to someone else's middle, especially if we're not aware of his or her struggles and challenges.
On the flip side, comparison can actually be helpful if we make a conscious effort to go about it the right way. Instead of succumbing to envy or negativity, think to yourself, "I really admire that quality in him/her—what can I do to become more like that?" It's all about perception, folks! Below are a few tricks that have helped me overcome unhealthy comparison.
Generate gratitude.
When we focus on the positive, amazing things will happen. Instead of looking so intently at the lives of others, look at yourself! Take time to actively appreciate all of your amazing qualities, memories and experiences—and write them down! Keeping a gratitude journal has been scientifically proven to relieve stress and worry. I always keep mine nearby so that it's within arm's reach when I'm having a 'moment.'
Go for a walk.
(Is anyone else humming the words to Passion Pit's "Take a Walk"?) Sometimes a stroll is all you need! Get up and move a bit. Clear your head. Change your scenery—even if you only have time to walk to the other side of the room.
Be positive and proactive.
As I mentioned above, comparison can be a good thing when it leads to self-improvement. Ask yourself what others possess that you want for yourself. Maybe it's a fabulous work ethic or a killer workout routine or superhuman organizational skills. Instead of wallowing in jealousy or resentment, start setting attainable goals that will help you achieve those things.
If social media is feeding your unhealthy comparison habits—and there's a good chance it is—try to begin limiting your screen time. Turn your phone off at least an hour before bed, and wait an hour to turn it on after waking up each morning. Instead of scrolling Twitter from bed after your alarm goes off, take a few moments to soak up some of the real beauty that surrounds you. Go for a run or sit outside with a cup of coffee. This is a great routine to get into—I guarantee that you'll start to notice a positive difference in your mental health!
Strive to be the best version of yourself.
The most important person to compare yourself to is you! Compete with yourself, set attainable goals and work hard to take care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually (breathing exercises are the best!). You'll contribute not only to your own well-being but also to that of those around you. It's a win-win!

It's a subject for anguish and tears, and because it's almost impossible to be heard when you mention the word. I spoke on the subject evangelistically a couple of years ago and got a lot of flack for it.
It's hard to speak of, hard but necessary,
I do however think this is by far the best way in:
Kings English: I am a jealous God. Glen writes:
"We are very far here from the popular conception of God as some distant omnibeing indifferent to the plight of his creatures. Neither is he some stern patriarch in the sky unwilling to reveal his feelings lest he lose face. Here is a God with His heart on His sleeve. "I am jealous" He says. In fact a few chapters later He will say "My name is Jealous." (Exodus 34:14).
God loves with a burning, faithful, marital, rightly possessive, rightly jealous love.
- First of all the Father loves His Son in the power of His Almighty Spirit. It is a marriage like love, a burning, faithful, rightly possessive, rightly jealous love.
- And then He loves His people – those who are married to His Son – the bride of Christ, the people of God. He loves us with a burning, faithful, rightly possessive, rightly jealous love.
- And throughout the bible God's people, for their part, are called to be "faithful." Not simply "obedient", "faithful"! And when we sin we're not just called "transgressors", we are called "adulterers."
To be on the inside of God's jealous love is a wonderful thing. It is to be rightly possessed and secure and guarded and desired. It's the sunshine of His love.Whether or not we'd then say what Rob Bell infamously may or may not say in his forthcoming book
To be on the wrong end of His jealousy is a terrible thing. Because for those who demean or threaten or harm the objects of His love (either His Son or His people) they will feel that jealousy as the consuming fire of His judgement."
I don't know, though I'm a little intrigued.
But in the end it's true Love wins, for us or against us.
The Christian's future is an easier subject but one over which confusion abounds. We're meant to give a reason for the hope that we have. But what is our hope? On Sunday I was preaching on 1 Thess 4:13-18. Sermon can be downloaded here. (You'll be able to read more on this in my article in next Month's UCCF:NB magazine.)
I loved seeing how in 1 Thess 4, our future will be physical and personal, resurrected with Jesus, vindicated with Jesus and living on this liberated world with Jesus. What happens to Jesus happens to us.
We believe in the death of death in the death of Christ and the resurrection of Christians in the resurrection of Christ... in which love wins by catching us up to be with our God in his world.

whats the best software to use to find the acoustic properties of the room
Re: Software
It's not just software, you need mic's and a device to interpret it. The easiest way fix a room for most of us is with something like the Audyssey system found in many newer receivers and as a stand alone unit. Andrew Robinson AVRev's managing editor reviewed it here;
The Meridian 861 v4 does room correction as well and will print waterfall plots for your room showing you where the problem frequencies are, but to my knowledge this is the only unit that does this.
Some subwoofers such as the Revel's come with a calibration disc that you can use to find the 'hot' frequencies in your room, but you have to go through them all and test each with a SPL meter. Not to difficult, but it can become tedious.
Re: Software
i know they make pc software to do it ive seen the names somewhere on here before i just dont remeber what they are. And in my experiance Audessy is horrible
Re: Software
Bob Hodas uses the Meyer Sound SIM System which is pretty complex (and heavy - I should know as I have lugged it in and out of my house many times.
I wouldn't call it a DIY system however.
Perhaps he will know of something more on the consumer level.
Re: Software
There are several companies that make software. There is Spectrafoo, Smaart, & ETF to name a few. You will need a good omni directional mic and some sort of USB preamp. I think ETF comes with a mic. The SIM 3 system that I use is $11,000 so i don't think you want to make that kind of investment.
Re: Software
That is one heck of an investment. But, if you want it done right the first time...................

Technical Strategies – Transpalpebral Brow Bone Reduction
Brow bone reduction is one of numerous types of facial bone reshaping procedures. In its most traditional sense it is done to reduce the horizontal or forward projection of the brow bones. In essence this is to reduce the bulge or outward prominence of them. This is usually done either in men with very large and overgrown frontal sinuses or in male to female transgender surgery to create a perfectly flat brow bone arch. Depending upon the degree of brow bone protrusion and the thickness of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus burring reduction or an osteoplastic bone flap setback procedure can be done.
But excessive brow bone growth or shape can occur in other dimensions as well. Brow bones that are too vertically low or high can cause undesired orbital/eye issues. Brow bones that are too high (increased vertical orbital height) may make the eye look too open and the brows retracted. Brow bones whose edges are too vertically low may make the eye look too closed or push down on the eyelid tissues causing an appearance of eyelid hooding or pseudoptosis.
Like horizontal reduction of the brow bones, vertical reduction of them can also be done. This is often combined with horizontal reduction particularly in transgender brow/orbital bone reshaping through a coronal scalp incision. But there are cases when only a vertical brow bone reduction is needed which is usually when it is causing a more 'closed eye' appearance or eyelid asymmetry. Rather than using a scalp incision, isolated vertical or tail of the brow bone reduction can be done through an upper eyelid or transpalpebral incisional approach. This direct access allows for a limited dissection technique that more easily isolates the desired brow bone location.
Transpalpebral brow bone reduction is limited in that it can not reach the more medial part of the brow bone due to the location of the supraorbital nerves. But for tail of the brow bone reshaping or pure vertical reduction of the supraorbital rim, an eyelid incision is more appealing than the 'far away' and more extensive coronal incisional approach.

How come there's such a small size limit for the file upload size on the Spiral Spy website?
Want to preview Accessories before buying? Try SpiralSpy!
How come there's such a small size limit for the file upload size on the Spiral Spy website?
I guess, I never bumped up the default (800kb). I did so now (1.5Mb).
Thank you.
Has anyone thought of renaming the .dat files to match the actual gear/accessories so it would be easier to find them? I know the files are used by SK, but maybe making a copy of all the files in another directory?
I personally have my copy stuck in my Spiral Knights folder. It feels a lot easier that way, since I won't have to recopy everything every time there's an update.
Fairly neat and useful program! But I noticed you can change the player's height, and at +2 I think it looks pretty damn fitting, but how'd you manage to make that an option to toggle?

Good luck with that! You cannot easily change filenames without breaking internal references. To make matters worse, there isn't even nescessarily a file per model. A lot of gears are simply variants of a base model.
Do more people have problems finding the right model files? If so, I could probably come up with some kind of a search function.

You probably don't.
actually I just grabbed the rsrc folder from the test server folder and there are A LOT of interesting things in there, enough to make me reconsider how I plan to do certain parts of the FanComic I'm doing. There's a lot of new stuff, especially for the gremlin's and I'm quite eager to play around with it. Crew NPC's also look good and they have added a lot of different eye expressions to work with now.
That said I'm quite irritated to not see any changes to the gunslinger hats and got very excited with something I saw in the handgun folder then got very disappointed when I put it in Spiral Spy. Hopefully OOO will bother to change the gunslinger hats by the time the mission update happens.
Do what I do and copy the whole rsrc folder and put it into another folder outside of the SK one and use that one with Spiral Spy, you can modify files to your hearts content there but be aware that some files do link to other ones still.
@Bunk and Spiral-Spy
Yes you can ;)
Oh my wow it's possible? Makes the knights seem less chibi-ish mayhaps, like how at -2 it has the opposite effect. Took far too much effort for naught thinking how it might work though, doubt I'll go through that again sometime.
can someone please help me find the directory.. I'm a mac user, and I'm on steam O_O
Please look at the previous pages to see if someone listed it before posting, as they did.
Here you go, though :)
User/Library/Application Support/steam/SteamApps/common/spiral knights
im following, but im still not getting THERE... im supposed to be looking there by using finder right?
I tried to run it with javaw.exe application but i get error:
Could not find the main class: C:\Users\Konrad\AppData\LocalLow\spiral\spiralspy-1.1jar. Program will exit.
What to do? It worked before, now it stopped ::F
What to do? It worked before, now it stopped ::F
Install Linux :-P?
It does not work because "C:\Users\Konrad\AppData\LocalLow\spiral\spiralspy-1.1jar" is a file, not a classname (the right classname would be "de.onyxbits.spiralspy.SpyApp"). General solution to your problem (in this order) try to:
* Reinstall SpiralSpy
* Reinstall Java
* Install Linux (*)
(*) Can also be used as the first option.
Meh ok
I just saw there is an 6 31 update to java maybe it will help.
The strange thing is i cant run any jar files, even get-downpro.jar and i remember it worked for me... but luckly i can still play Spiral Knights and it seems my Java Runtime Env. is working :F Why then i cant open jar apps directly ?
Ill try later reinstalling Spiral Spy (or rather redownloading it? :P)
Then reinstall/update java. (im using JavaRa for cleaning java leftovers)
How do you pose more than one model? I tried making another knight, along with the first one, but I couldn't use any animations with him. Any helpers? Also, I'm sorry if this was asked before, but I simply did not have the patience to look through 6+ pages.
Thanks in advance to any answers!
Also, is there any other way to create a platform than by making about 300 world models?
dude imma need a tutorial. i have no idea wht to do. i got this scene painter.....but i have no idea wht it is. mid if u help a clueless knight?
ok when i open the file its appears one massage and says PLEASE PUT THE JAR INTO THE SPIRAL KNIGHTS DIRECTORY !!!!!!WHAT THAT MEAN¡¡¡¡¡
I got this error. i've tried "java -jar spiralspy-1.0.jar" but nothing happened (ran it in cmd and power shell)
as you can see from the pic, I have it in the right spot.
I reinstalled java, both the 32bit and the 64bit versions, and still the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
The guy who made SpiralSpy has stopped working on the project, and quit Spiral Knights due to the recent trends OOO has taken, so I guess good luck getting help for your issues.
newest spiral spy is 1.1, you use old 1.0
Guy left.
Ask Happyapathy.
Guy left.
Ask Happyapathy.
i dont now what heppend but this problem is dont dessapear i need help the program is dosent work or what is wrong is say PLEASE PUT THE JAR INTO THE SPIRAL KNIGHTS DIRECTORY what i do to run the program......
I am using the 1.1 version. look at the pic.
this dead? i wanna do spiral spy, but it won't let me open it. i do not have steam and am on windows XP. I dragged it into my spiral knights short cut and it complained of not having some 'class' of some sort. why the hell did spiral spy leave and stop the thing. so... annoying.
thats because the guy who made it got mad, and ragequit, and closed spiral-spy down, so the people who already had it downloaded are the only people who can use it...
The download link IS working
orly? i thought it was down.....UBERZ FAILZ
i told you that i clicked that right? but it says: 0% complete. The configuration file is missing the application class.
Deleted the old one, downlaoded again and clicked it. It works.
You must be doing something wrong.
i try again and again Q.Q /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry Your voice has become hoarse I wasn't saying anything!
and i really want it. :( Stupid application class
Is 1.1 supposed to be the working one or something? Because I get a Please Put In Spiral Knights Directory yadda yadda yadda when I have indeed placed it in the Spiral Knights directory.
A question, I know that Spiral Spy is for previewing purposes, but i was going to make a little video using spiral spy. The thing is, I dont know how to shoot guns, swing swords, or plant bombs? Is this possible? (I have already saved my model to model.dat)
Guns dont have any animation (beisdes reload). It's just a pose, with an efect/bullet coming out.
But I really doubt you know what you're doing.
Thanks for that, now I have another question. How can I have more than 1 character on my world?
Preferences > New Environmental Model.
It gets a bit clumsy from there on out, but it works.
I have 5 characters on my screen, but it won't let me put them in walk animation, shock, etc... Basically, I can not find the "Animations Bar" on the environmental models list. Anyone know how?
I use Ubuntu 12.04. I found my getdown folder, and placed my spiralspy in the correct place but still get the default message when trying to open it with "Oracle Java Runtime 7". I heard somewhere that Spiral-Spy himself uses Linux, so I got curious... can anybody help me please?
I installed java 7 on my Mac and now SpiralSpy doesn't work. Help?
Sir, you too are commiting necromancy by commenting as well.
The first words of the title of this thread: "Want to preview Accessories before buying?", if buying off the AH there's a lil' preview button. Nuff said.
Quite right. You are weird.
Zombie thread! ZOMBIES!
This was before the preview feature was included into the game. Back then, you had no idea that goggles would give your Cyclops Cap 3 eyes unless you bought it. 'Tis the confusion that comes with Necros.
Moral of the story: Make sure you look at the date of the last post of a thread before nefariously bringing it back to life. Do not go wandering into page 3,000 looking for a forum to comment on!
*Super-Fool blasts off!*
Cool. Now I have ANOTHER thing to play with when waiting for mist....
I need a life :( You know that when you are waiting for school to start.
After two year of playing this game I've finally found the FORUM for this!!! XD
I'll have a try when I can and post some feedback!
Theon :)
I'm quite sad that I can't save my W.I.P map but the prefence can save maps(not my wanted).
It's there any APPs that can save maps or something?

Michel Hazanavicius, director of The Artist, took home the big prize at the 64th Directors Guild of America awards on Saturday night, beating out Martin Scorsese (Hugo), Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris), David Fincher (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), and Alexander Payne (The Descendants).
In the context of the overall awards season, this is a huge win for Hazanavicius. The winner of the DGA award has gone on to win Best Director at the Academy Awards every year but six since the DGA awards' inception in 1948. Fifty years out of its previous sixty-three, the DGA winner has also landed the Best Picture Oscar. So for those of you who are keeping track, The Artist is still the commanding favorite this year.
Project Nim, a documentary about a chimpanzee raised by humans, directed by James Marsh, nabbed the documentary DGA award. Interestingly, Project Nim isn't even nominated at the Oscars, despite several other nominations and wins this season.
You can see a complete list of the DGA winners here.

Regional Reviews: St. Louis
State Fair
Rodgers and Hammerstein's State Fair, a stage musical based on their 1945 movie. It is a gentle, innocent reminder of an America that should have existed but didn'tor did only in the hearts and minds of romantics like prolific novelist Phil Stong, who knew what to leave out in order to reflect people's dreams about themselves, and artists like Rodgers and Hammerstein, who knew all too well how to turn such romantic figments into successful theater. As a story, it is as slender and winsome as Margy, its charming ingenue. Musically, it is a kind of patchwork, especially in the version currently on display at Stages St. Louis, which pulls together songs from the original movie and a handful of other Rodgers & Hammerstein shows to create a score that is alternately pedestrian and brilliant.
"It Might As Well Be Spring," which Margy sings near the beginning of the evening, is one of a handful of American songs in which music and lyrics are so beautifully married that it is hard to imagine them coming from separate hands. "It's a Grand Night For Singing" is among the very best examples of Rodgers and Hammerstein's wonderfully appealing choral music. Aside from those, the score is competent, often pleasant, but seldom memorable.
Under Michael Hamilton's direction, the lively and colorfully-costumed characters of the Frake family and the more worldly types they encounter at the Iowa State Fair fill the stage at the Robert G. Reim Theater in Kirkwood with energy. Christopher Vettel, as the father Abel Frake, has a marvelous voice and a charming stage presence; the lovely and versatile Kari Ely is delightful as his wife. St. Louis favorite Whit Reichert is hilarious in the plum cameo role of Judge Heppenstahl, who gets a little tipsy sampling Mrs. Frake's whisky-enhanced mincemeat. Young Abigail Isom, who gets the show's other great cameo, Violet, is absolutely brilliant.
The two pairs of lovers, one star-crossed, the other starry-eyed, are played with flair by Preston Ellis (Wayne Frake) and Hollie Howard (Emily Arden) and by Julie Hanson (Margy Frake) and Jim Newman (Pat Gilbert). John Flack, Joseph Torello and Mike Dowdy join Mr. Vettel to make a nifty quartet of farmers who sing excellent barbershop.
James Wolk's charming, technicolor sets make excellent use of the idiosyncratic stage of the Reim theater. His rendering of the kitchen and backyard of the Frake farm, with which the show opens and closes, is both ingenious and meticulously realizedone of the best pieces of stagecraft in the long and distinguished history of the Stages company. Lou Bird's costumes, especially for the women and most especially for Margy, Mrs. Frake, and Emily Arden, are impeccable.
All in all, this is an inviting production of a pleasant and often charming show. State Fair will run through October 3 at the Robert Reim Theater in the Kirkwood Community Center. For performance and ticket information, call 314-821-2407 or visit www.stagesstlouis.org.

JERUSALEM — As Prime Minister Ariel Sharon lay comatose last week in intensive care, one of his associates caused something of a stir when he suggested that the stricken leader be put at the top of his party's slate in the approaching Israeli elections.
The idea, quickly shot down, seemed to be an attempt to preserve Sharon as the figurehead of the newly empowered political center, embodied in Kadima, the party Sharon formed two months ago. The proposal was perhaps motivated by a concern that without Sharon at the head of his party, even symbolically, it might lose ground in the March 28 elections.

Hampton's starting to finish all over again
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, February 3, 2009
The first evidence that Devanei Hampton was rebounding was her rebounding.
On the road in Oregon, Jan. 22 and Jan. 24, Cal's senior center collected 18 boards in two games. She moved well, ran the floor, and asserted herself defensively.
Then the L.A. schools landed in town this past weekend. And after months of tentative and sometimes frustrating recovery from knee problems, Hampton took more emphatic steps to reclaim her game.
She finished the homestand with a pair of double-doubles - the first two of her final season - and Saturday against USC, she scored the game-winning basket off an offensive rebound with 2.2 seconds to go to cap a 17-point, 11-rebound effort that makes it clear that Hampton still has some big games left before her college career ends in two months.
"Finishing. That's what I've been talking to my coaches about, finishing and rebounding," she said.
In helping Cal move up four spots to No. 3 in the national rankings Monday, Hampton is beginning to play to the level that has earned her three first-team spots on the All-Pac-10 team. She'll have to do it more consistently to match the standard she set as a sophomore when she was the Pac-10 Player of the Year.
Hampton is making an unmistakable turn in the right direction.
"So much of it comes with confidence," Cal coach Joanne Boyle said. "You make a couple of shots and you feel your rhythm and you're back. She's been working hard to get back to where she is, and her confidence is back, and all the other things are starting to fall into place right now."
It has taken to the halfway point of the conference schedule to get there. Hampton has spent nearly 10 months dealing with the aftermath of a "cleaning out" procedure done on her troublesome right knee in the spring. It has affected her conditioning, and the impact she was able to have on the floor for the first 2 1/2 months of the season.
Last weekend's successes bumped her season averages to 7.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, still significantly off her career averages of 15.3 points and 8 rebounds. She is shooting 37.7 percent (46-for-122) from the floor. Cal has not lost since Hampton returned to the starting lineup 10 games ago.
"I'm not rushing it. Everyone knows what I'm capable of doing," Hampton said. "I'm still getting double-teamed and tripled-teamed. People are still respecting me and my game."
Hampton has been on a conditioning and diet regimen since December. She has dropped 25 pounds off her 6-foot-3 frame and has been taking "hot" yoga classes - done in rooms heated more than 100 degrees - to increase her flexibility and burn calories.
The weight Hampton gained while she was unable to play was exacerbating her knee problems and threatened not only her final college season, but her pro prospects as well.
"It's hard when you want tacos or a burrito," Hampton said, "but I know I just can't eat it right now. I'm looking at things down the road," Hampton said. "My knee feels good. I've got no swelling, no aches, no pains."
Increased production from Hampton no doubt would strengthen the Bears' chances to claim their first Pac-10 title.
"I don't feel a lot of pressure," Hampton said. "I'm rebounding and playing defense. Scoring is not necessarily what they need me to do right now."
Boyle said Hampton "had her back up against the wall" when challenged to drop the weight and get in better shape, and has responded.
"Sometimes people really respond to a challenge," Boyle said. "It was a matter of, 'There are three months left of a season, what do you want for yourself and your future?' Dev operates best under pressure. She had to decide she wanted to do it."

This post was written by Sue McKittrick for Marketing to Business Executives Blog.
My commentary: In writing this post, Sue clearly demonstrates how to curate content effectively. She refers to Pawan Deshpande's post on Crafting the Perfect Content Curation Strategy and then takes it to another level. This is the kind of "context" that is valuable to your readers.
Pawan points to three factors to consider in selection of the right topic:
*competitors' content strategies
*the volume of content on a subject
*audience interest
Sue says these three things are definitely important but some refinements are in order and she delivers the goods in this article. We may have read these things before but are we really taking it all in and applying it to our work as curators or for building our business?
Here's what particularly caught my attention:
**Think about what is compelling to your targets. What information do they need to do their jobs? Where are major changes underway that will affect their success?
****Look at your answers to those questions through the prism of your business, products or services.
****What is the storyline that connects your products or services to information needed to do their jobs
** the actions they will need to take to respond to important changes occurring in their business?
I love this one!
****Consider the issues associated with the topics under consideration.
**Will exploration of the issues provoke rich discussion
**A discerning perspective on controversial views will draw more attention and offer more opportunities for engagement.

Dance Fiji Dance group president Ravin Chand, right, with Kidney Foundation of Fiji president Dewan Chand Maharaj at the Kidney Foundation of Fiji office in Suva
yesterday. Picture: JONACANI LALAKOBAU
THE Dance Fiji Dance group pledged its financial support to the Fiji Kidney Foundation yesterday.
The group injected its first financial assistance of $1600 and have big plans to continue this throughout the year.
"Dance Fiji Dance group president Ravin Chand's father died from kidney failure and during that time, Mr Chand couldn't afford kidney treatment," Radhika Rani, Dance Fiji Dance vice-president said.
"Mr Chand is now at a position where he can help others and he wants to offer this assistance to kidney patients, in memory of his late father."
She said the group promoted health, something that the Fiji Kidney Foundation also promoted.
Ms Rani said they had organised a walkathon on June 28 with all proceeds going to the foundation.
"We also have our annual show at the end of the year and five per cent of ticket sales will be given to Fiji Kidney Foundation."
She encouraged people living in the Nasinu area to look out for their volunteers on Saturday and give $1 each.

On my way back from the Old Port on Monday evening, I passed through Place d'Armes and took a few moments to get a couple of shots.
I decided to concentrate on shooting from the north of the square, looking toward the Notre-Dame Basilica. The light was beginning to dim and not having my tripod with me I had to find suitable supports (ground, pillars, lamp posts and benches) to help steady the camera for some of the shots.
For a couple of images, I decided to give a slight tilt-shift look to them and particularly liked how the first came out since the image was a little out of focus to begin with 😉
Before getting to Place d'Armes I walked along the elevated walkway on the Jacques-Cartier Pier. I happened to notice a couple on bikes having fun on the large vacant ground riding their bike through the flock of birds resting in the late sun – I made a note-to-self that this is a great vantage point for shooting long shadows in the late afternoon…
I should have photographed at a faster exposure, but they ended up being a good subject matter for experimenting with the creative blur in Topaz Lens Effects.
The sunset on Monday was not so great since there were no clouds, but I always love the light just before the sun dips behind Mount Royal and the glow it gives to the downtown buildings. I didn't manage to do the light the justice it deserved, but here are a couple of the better attempts.
For a similar shot to the above, I decided to go for a retro style
Hopefully tomorrow I will get back out to shoot some autumn colors, that is if today's wind has left some leaves on the trees.
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time.
– Martin

This is an ancient form of healing. It was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui of Tokyo, Japan towards the end of the 19th Century.
Dr. Usui had spent many years on a quest for the secret of the ancient enlighten knowledge. He usually went to a mountain top in Japan and underwent a 21 day purification, fasting and meditating. In the Time at the end of which he received enlightenment and the power of healing. He came down from the mountain and spent the rest of his life practicing and teaching what we know as Rei Ki.
Mikao passed his knowledge in courses onto about up to 20 Usui Reiki Master and made Mr. Chujiro Hayashi Reiki Traditional Master with the responsibility of training all the other teachers. He took Rei ki to the USA in 1936 where he met up with one of his students, Mrs. Hawayo Takata going on in 1938 to make her a Master. Mr. Hayashi died on 10th May 1941. Passing on the Traditional Master to Mrs. Takata beginning the west lineages. At this time there were many living Masters under her leadership. However, she went onto 22 Master ships before her death on 12th December 1980 when she willed the title of Reiki Traditional Master to her granddaughter Phyllis Lei Furumoto. After Mrs. Takatas death the western Rei ki movement split into many directions. Most know: The Alliance' led by Phyllis Furumoto and The Radiance Techniques which was led by Barbara Ray ( Benedek M. Diana and Dr Eva Rudas lines ) and based in the USA. Several other branches grew out of the Alliance. Healing has gone on from strength to strength now being practiced worldwide.

Sports medicine doctors in the UK have published a literature review to examine whether non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) adversely affect the healing of stress fractures. Previous laboratory studies using animal subjects indicated that NSAIDs can affect fracture healing. This link has not been established in human subjects, particularly for stress fractures. Overall, this study is extremely useful given the high usage of NSAIDs in treatment musculoskeletal disorders.
NSAIDs are used primarily for reducing the pain, heat, swelling and redness that is associated with inflammation. The three most commonly used NSAIDs are aspirin (salicylate), acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Aspirin has many trade names by which it is also known. Acetaminophen is manufactured under the trade name Paracetamol, as well as Tylenol and Datril. Other NSAIDs used in sports medicine include Flurbiprofen (Ansaid), Indomethacin (Indocin), Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, Nurofen), Naproxen (Naprosyn) and Diclofenac (Voltaren). In the United Kingdom, a few NSAIDs are on restricted sale to the public, but most have a prescription only medicine licence.
Wheeler and Batt cited historical research and an article by Penman in the New Scientist in 2002, which highlighted the effects of NSAIDs on bone healing and put it once more into the public domain. On the basis of previously published animal and human research, Penman discussed whether NSAIDs could interfere with fracture healing. The article states that NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and indomethacin, delay fracture healing by one or two weeks in rats, which is the equivalent to slowing healing by 2025%, but the trials from which these figures were gleaned are not readily identified. The article concludes with the suggestion that people with healing fractures should avoid NSAIDs and that further investigation is required.
The authors performed literature searches for original publications and reviews. Although no studies were found that examined stress fractures specifically, the authors extended their search to examine the effects of NSAIDs on all types of healing. There are few studies investigating the effects of NSAIDs on bone healing, although it is widely accepted that there is a theoretical risk.
Wheeler and Batt reported that animal studies have shown that NSAIDs, including indomethacin, aspirin, and ibuprofen can all affect healing of a variety of fractures, including those affecting the rat forelimb, vertebra, or femur. All doses of indomethacin appear to cause delayed bone healing, but aspirin only delays healing at levels approaching toxicity.
Prospective studies on the effects of NSAIDs in humans show mixed results. One study showed that patients who received indomethacin had a greater risk of non-union of the long bones than those who received either radiotherapy or no preventative treatment. Retrospective studies of healing and recovery after fractures all showed an adverse effect on bone healing, either delayed bone healing or an increased rate of non-union, by the administration of NSAIDs.The authors made the conclusion that further studies are required. Until the results of this research are available, they felt that the option of least risk is to avoid the use of NSAIDs in the treatment of patients who are suspected of having stress fractures.

Alexandria, Va.
– Feb. 2, 2012
– Though far more companies are expected to hire than lay off in February 2012, the numbers will lag compared to one year ago according to a
report from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) that surveyed 500 service-sector companies and 500 manufacturing companies.
The report shows that on an annual basis -- comparing February 2012 to February 2011 -- service sector hiring will drop by a net of 12.3 points and manufacturing sector hiring will fall by a net of 2.5 points.
The findings are
detailed in the
SHRM Leading Indicators of National Employment® (LINE®) Report. LINE is the only national employment index capturing HR professionals' month-ahead
hiring expectations, and past-month
recruiting difficulty. The report also includes a
new-hire compensation index and an index of exempt and non-exempt
job vacancies.
A closer look at the SHRM LINE service-sector hiring index shows that a net of 20.9 percent of employers plan to add jobs in February 2012 compared with a net of 33.2 percent that did so one year ago—a 12.3 point drop.
The month alone, however, shows a more positive outlook with more service-sector companies planning to hire (26.3 percent) than layoff (5.4 percent).
In the manufacturing sector, a net of 40.2 percent of companies plan to hire workers in February 2012, a slight drop from the 42.7 percent that added workers one year ago.
The manufacturing-sector hiring index also shows that February 2012 -- when examined on its own -- will have significantly more companies hiring (49.1 percent) workers than cutting (8.9 percent) jobs.
"The economy is showing gains in job growth but not at the pace needed to significantly bring down the unemployment rate," said Jennifer Schramm, GPHR, and manager of workplace trends and forecasting at SHRM.
Regarding past-month trends, the SHRM LINE Report shows the recruiting-difficulty index and new-hire compensation for January 2012 rose slightly in both the manufacturing and service sectors.
"Despite the high number of people seeking employment, finding workers to fill highly-skilled jobs remains difficult," said Schramm. "Those job seekers able to land such job offers are likely the ones seeing the small gains in new-hire compensation tracked in the SHRM LINE report."
The February 2012 SHRM LINE report shows that during January 2012:
Though the report does not show specific salary bumps, it does provide an index of the general up or down trend. The number of companies reporting increased new-hire compensation rose by 1.8 points in the manufacturing sector and 5.6 points in the service sector compared to the same time last year.
separate SHRM survey released late last year looked deeply into the recruiting-difficulty issues raised in the LINE Report. The
most difficult jobs to fill include: engineering positions; high-skilled medical positions, high-skilled technical positions; positions calling for scientists, and managerial and executive-level positions. Human resource professionals also noted job-candidate skills gaps in critical thinking and problem solving, professionalism and work ethic, written communication, and leadership.
Highlights of SHRM LINE year-over-year findings:
Employment Expectations
In February, hiring will drop slightly in manufacturing and fall moderately in services compared with a year ago.
-2.5 points
-12.3 points
Recruiting Difficulty
In January, the index for recruiting difficulty rose slightly in both sectors compared with a year ago.
+3.9 points
+5.6 points
New-Hire Compensation
In January, the rate of increase for new-hire compensation rose in both manufacturing and services.
+1.8 points
+5.6 points

FLORIDA -- It's the race for the white house.
Donald trump is ahead of his rival, Hillary Clinton, in Florida, but only with a slim advantage.
A new bloomberg politics poll shows the republican nominee with 2 point edge -- leading Clinton with 45 percent to 43 percent of likely voters.
"This race may come down to the independent vote," said pollster J. Ann Selzer, who oversaw the survey told the Bloomberg. "Right now, they tilt for Trump. By a narrow margin, they opted for Obama over Romney in 2012."

This post is brought to you by the Tourism Board of Australia. Just kidding!
You know that old chestnut about how every critter in Australia is out to kill you? Well, the Hunstman spider is not one of those things. It is, however, an extremely common and enormous spider that people routinely find behind doors, in shoes, or crawling out from under the car's sun visor. Encountering one is sort of an expat rite of passage.
Toughened up Aussies will tell you, "ah, mate, it's just a Huntsman! Leave it be. It eats the other bugs." And, I suppose that is one possible response to seeing a spider the size of a basketball in your living room…
I have somehow managed to escape my Hunstman initiation, and every time I say that, I think I'm cursing myself. I don't know why I'd put it in print.
Here are some other expats and their tales of Huntsman bravery.
This is the 15th in an 18 part interview series with expats living in Sydney. Please make sure to visit the fantastic websites of the participants linked below, and join me on Facebook for much more on expat life in Sydney.
Question 15: Have you encountered a Huntsman spider?
Name: Victoria
Country of origin: England
Lived in Sydney: 6 years
Victoria blogs at The Freedom Travellers
Yes! The first one I encountered in my house was literally thudding across the carpet it was that big! Think a house spider on steroids that can run faster than Usain Bolt…not much sleep to be had when one of those is running wild in your apartment!
Name: Julia
Country of origin: UK

We had one make its way off our terrace into our lounge one evening – and was positioned just next to my husbands head when he walked back in – I have only ever seen a spider that size in a zoo before – so I am so so thankful that my husband was home to deal with it – my first reaction on seeing it was to scream and jump onto a sofa – it was actually bigger than the shoe my husband hit it with – after that I made a comment about not being able to live in Australia anymore!!
Name: "Bushranger"
Country of Origin: Serbia
Lived in Sydney: 6.5 Years
Yes on our balcony ceiling – it took at least a quarter of the ceiling and retreated fast.

Ohhhh yes. The first time was in my son's closet. I shut his closet door, then his bedroom door, and ran out into the living room and stayed there. I left it as a present for my husband. The second time it was chilling inside my bedroom window sideways. I was calm and did not freak out so I didn't scare the kids. The third time, our front door was open and it had come in from under the screen. It was chilling on the TV. I mean…we're trying to watch a show here, Mr. Huntsman!!! My husband got a plastic container and tried to capture it but omg those things move faster than I eat a bowl of ice cream. We (he, definitely not me) got it and threw the ENTIRE plastic container on the front lawn! They're freaky looking and they move fast but the good thing is, they eat all the bugs and won't eat YOU!
Name: Caitlin
Country of origin: England
Lived in Sydney: 1.5 year
Caitlin blogs at Where's Wallis
Thankfully not and I hope to avoid one for as long as possible! I've heard they are super speedy though and that I shouldn't be scared of them as they eat all the other bugs!
Name: Debbie
Country of origin: England
Lived in Sydney: 10 years
Plenty! The most memorable story took place in our first house, out at Galston. It was winter time so we were using the wood burning stove daily. I opened the door to sweep out the previous days ashes and lay a new fire, I was really close, had my head almost in the stove while I was reaching to the back when my hubby suddenly said really urgently 'move, get away from the stove now'. When I looked up there was the biggest spider we had ever seen sitting right there on the door of the stove. I leaped away and we both stood there just looking at this monster. We made a plan, hubby got a broom and I got a mesh waste paper bin. Hubby knocked the spider off the door, at which point the bloody thing made a beeline straight for me and the thingwas FAST, somehow I managed to get the bin over it just before it got to me. We thought it was a wolf spider, but others think it's a huntsman.

I did once find a spider at a friend's house that I feared was a Huntsman because of its size. Please keep those spiders away!
Name: Melissa
Country of origin: USA
Lived in Sydney: 1 year
Melissa blogs at Leche Love
Yes, we had a big one living in our basement! One day, it disappeared, which is even scarier. We finally cleared piles and piles of boxes (thanks, Ikea), and she reappeared. We had named her Charlotte. After a few days, we gave her a new home-outside.
Name: Erin
Country of origin: Texas, USA
Lived in Sydney: 7 1/2 years
Erin blogs at TexErin-in-Sydneyland
Ohhhhh….emmmmm…geeeeee! I hate spiders. With a passion. I was in the passenger seat, looked over, on the window (yes, the outside, but still scary in my book) was the hugest, ugliest, scariest spider I've ever seen. I started to crawl into the backseat of the car. My guy still quotes my very weak cry to "Help me!" whenever a spider is around.
Name: Rachel
Country of Origin: England
Lived in Sydney: 4 Years
Earlier this year I had my first close encounter with a Huntsman. I was hanging out my laundry in our sunroom, and low and behold a super fast huntsman shot out from amongst my bed sheets (had been airing on the outside line) and shot diagonally across the wall. It seemed to be larger than a dinner plate. I screamed and my friend Kate helped me capture it. A glass proved too small and we had to resort to using a Tupperware tub before successful capture and subsequent release back into the front yard.

Can't say I have…but lets not jinx me.
You made it to the end!

Threads of Fate Preview
Square's newest masterpiece titled Dew Prism in Japan, is looking to be one title that won't be forgotten any time soon. Already making big waves in Japan, Threads of Fate (the game's US name), will be part of Square's huge 2000 library this year. Along with games like Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy IX, Legend of Mana, and Vagrant Story. Threads of Fate will surely be a contender for something in the future. Square's lineup will without a doubt be the best that the PS1 era has and will see. Read the hands-on impressions of Threads of Fate and don't forget the screens.
  Right up there with Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy VIII, Threads of Fate is one of the prettiest looking games thus far. It may be as detailed as Chrono Cross or FF8, but the artistic style used for the game is great. The visuals are bright, and the environments are bursting with luxuriant colors. The characters are super smooth and there are no jaggy lines to be seen at all. Square has done a great job of once again pushing the PS to its limits with Threads of Fate. For now take a look at the screenshots we have to offer you, and then tell me that these visuals don't look awesome.
  The gameplay has an excellent twist to it. You have two characters to choose from, Rue and Mint. Rue is a fighter who is looking for the Relic, Mint is a spunky little girl who is always looking for trouble and she likes to kick ass. Both roles are looking for the Relic which seems to be what the game revolves around. Now each personality has his or her own unique traits. For instance Rue can transform into enemies that he has encountered and defeated in the past. This ability will help him progress through the game much more easily. Mint has magic abilities such as throwing three blades, or shooting projectiles. All of these will come in handy through the whole game. Both characters will eventually meet up with one another when one of them rescues a little girl from a pair of thugs. The gameplay feels more Action/Adventure than RPG mainly because of the fighting. Instead of fighting in a different realm (random battle), you fight your enemy in real-time. Threads of Fate is coming along great and the game is slated for a Summer 2000 release.
  The sound is quite remarkable, the themes play so smoothly and are so incredibly memorable just like Chrono Cross and any FF game. The quality is exceptional, all tunes are crisp and crystal clear. All this game needs is a little voice acting, maybe? A definite thumbs up here.
  Threads of Fate is turning out to be quite the adventure for PS owners, and Squaresoft enthusiasts such as myself. Right now with games like Chrono Cross, FF9, Threads of Fate, Vagrant Story and Legend of Mana, the only publisher who can compete against a line up like that is Activision. This is another game that will make 2000 PS' best year ever.

Magazines have scolded us for being too hairy, and men watching too much porn have said the same. But according to this survey, now only 12 percent of the 1,000 men surveyed say they prefer no hair down there.
So what do men want from us? We aren't a ripe field for landscaping. Moving forward, how about we all carry fold-out menus with the different pubic hair styles we offer. Then, men will let us know what they think they will like the following week, and we will have enough time to grow our pubes out and trim to their taste.
Or, on a date, if things seem promising, we can let the guy know, "Listen, I only rock the Brazilian. There will be no vajazzling business going on here, FYI." Thankfully, only a few men on the survey said they actually like seeing vajazzle on their girlfriends. In case you hadn't jumped onto this yet, the odd term means "the act of applying glitter and jewels to a women's bikini area for aesthetic purposes."
I'm sick (and I'm sure many other women are) of hearing how I should trim my pubes. If women want to wear a rocker Mohawk down there, so be it. If they want to tap into the 70s and sport an afro instead, let them be. Hell, if you want to be the first Pubic Rapunzel, all we will say is, Rapunzel let your hair down!
It's our hair, not yours.

Love this jacket for summer showers great colour and design
I was surprised that this wasn't a more substantial coat based primarily on its price. It's a glorified raincoat with coated lining rather than flocking as I would expect from a name like Weird fish. Still trying to figure out if I'll be keeping it, even at its sale price.
So far so good!! Need to wait for a downpour before I can give a thorough review. Good fit, liked the longer length at the back for added water protection, loved the colour. Very pleased with this product, hope I can say the same after some weather testing.

Always check the service supplier's credentials before concurring for a call-out to be made to your house. Plumbers in Australia should be licensed and completely certified. This guarantees that any repair works are made to the highest requirements. This is vital when the situation is crucial.
Careful Investigation As Well As Permanent Solutions
Lastly, in aiming to figure out whether you need a water heater repair you ought to look carefully at your energy costs. If your use has actually increased inexplicably, this might be an idea. It might be the case that there is something incorrect with the way that you have linked your gas line to your system. A basic unit ought to utilize the exact same quantity of gas to do the job every month. So, a boost in gas usage could be a sign that your unit is not linked appropriately.
No warm water at all is yet another gas water heater problem. In this case the specialist will inspect whether the pilot burner is lit or not and if it is not then there could be an opportunity of the pilot line being obstructed or the gas is not reaching the tank.
Hot Tub Repair In 62857
Ask the plumber company if they are effectively certified and insured then describe your problems. If you can discuss your draining pipes problems, device components, or any piping repairs that require taken a look at then your specialist will have a much better idea of rates. Rest assure that even for house flooding, gas lines, and big water damages you'll still have the ability to obtain the 24 hour plumber in your location by browsing in your area on the internet.
A lot of basements are vulnerable to water issues. Ultimately, the water soaked soil surrounding your basement eventually starts to discover its method through fractures and joints in your aging concrete structure. Other times, a sluggish leaking pipe in the wall starts to trigger mold and water damage to your basement. When it does, your precious financial investment starts to weaken as your when dry basement, begins to establish a moist, musty small. Typically this leakage is concealed behind the skirting's, carpets and laminate floorings we set up to hide the concrete foundation. The only method to spot it is to search for adjacent efflorescence, mold or damp. After that, you need to remove the covering and get to the root of the issue.
Bottom Line
There are opportunities that there can be more than one plumbing business in your location. Therefore, it is highly recommended to do some search prior to you work with any pipes business. Know more about these companies what they are and likewise compare 2 companies to choose the very best one. You can look for the aid of the internet to select the expert plumbing business. Likewise, make sure that you select the company offering their services at inexpensive rates. It is always not required that god services are given on high rate just. So, today only call among the professional companies and get rid of all pipes issues.
