1) It doesn't reduce T Levels!
We'll get this out of the way first: Soy contains compounds called phytoestrogens, which are basically the vegetal version of the female sex hormone estrogen. But—and this is important—those phytoestrogens do not act like estrogen in the male body. Got that? There's ample evidence that soy doesn't reduce testosterone levels or ruin muscle mass.
2) It's packed with macronutrients.
One cup of edamame (boiled soybeans) contains 298 calories, 29 grams of protein, 17 grams of carbs and 15 grams of fat. One scoop of soy protein powder contains 120 calories, 25 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbs and 1.5 grams of fat.
3) It helps you recover.
Adding soy protein powder to both pre- and post-workout shakes is an excellent way to use soy's plentiful antioxidants to improve recovery from exercise. Add it in a 1:1 ratio with whey.
4) It increases blood flow and HGH.
It's not just good for antioxidants. Soy boosts nitricoxide levels, which increases blood flow to muscles and growth-hormone levels.
5) It makes a mean scramble.
We'd never recommend avoiding eggs, but silken tofu makes an excellent scramble. Have some leftover vegetables? Throw them in a frying pan, then beat three eggs and start them cooking before adding half a box of silken tofu to the pan. Mash it around with the eggs and veggies, add a bit of salt and you're good to go.

Cool town.
A very cool old town area in Riga with good restaurants, bars, and cafés. Many of the restaurants and bars stay open very late, which is great for travellers on holiday in my opinion.
Insider Tip:Stay in the old town. Walk everywhere.
Riga is both the capital city of Latvia and the biggest city in the Baltic. It covers an area of over 307 square kilometres. More than 722,000 people call Riga home. With its art nouveau architecture and numerous green spaces, Riga is an extremely pretty city. Sprawling across the Daugava River, Riga is divided into a number of different areas, including its picturesque and popular Old Town.

A very cool old town area in Riga with good restaurants, bars, and cafés. Many of the restaurants and bars stay open very late, which is great for travellers on holiday in my opinion.
Insider Tip:Stay in the old town. Walk everywhere.
Riga is probably one of the most exciting cities in Europe when it comes to architecture. Especially one quartier in the north west of the city center offers a lot of Art nouvelle buildings and there is also a nice park that is integrated in the city infrastructure with its beautiful channel.
Too many tourists, boring after half a day in the old town. GET OUT of the old town and go see the countryside, the beach or the poor neighbourhoods, then it gets very interesting.
Insider Tip:Beach only 30min away by train.
A beatuful town with all the squares, jugend(art nouveau) houses and so on. Good value for money. Dont forget the huge market close to the railway station. You will find things that never know that it existed. Visit even the outskirts of Riga. That is interesting och you will see average life in Riga. Do not forget Salaspils. A place to remeber the terrifying years during WW2. It´s a memory over a german koncentration camp. Take a bus from Stalin skyscraper. Ticket price 1 euro for the bus. Ask the dr
Insider Tip:The Hostel "Two wheels" Restaurants: KID and Citi talki on Brivibas l. number 41
Riga is a lovely city with very friendly locals. I hope the stag parties don't ruin it too much, I was lucky enough to avoid most of them in my time there! Stay classy Riga :)
Insider Tip:Charli's Pizza does very tasty fresh pizzas!

Gigi Lyrics
GigiAm I a fool without a mind? Or have I nearly been too blind to realizeOh, gigiWhile you've been growing up before my eyesGigiYou're not all that funny or quick little girl I knewNo, overnight there's been a breathless change in youOh, gigiWhile you were trembling on the brinkWas I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star? Oh, gigiHave I been standing up too close or back too far? When did your sparkle turn to fire? And your warmth become desireOh, what miracle has made you the way you are? When did your warmth become desire? And your sparkle turn to fire? Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are? Oh, gigi

If Pau Gasol weren't seven feet tall, extremely skilled and competitive then odds are he would have made his mark in the medical field. Once upon a time Gasol was actually in med school in his native Barcelona. But the basketball gods had other plans for the man that will go down as one of the greatest international players to ever step foot on an NBA court.
But like all human beings with a passion for anything in life, Pau hasn't let his lucrative NBA career distract him from perhaps his true calling. Gasol has become known off the court for his many charitable acts including his frequent work with the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
In fact Gasol has been so involved with the hospital that he's been honored with the Courage to Care award to be presented at an event at L.A. Live later this month.
Among Pau's many deeds are contributions in the $250,000 range, serving as an ambassador for the Children's hospital during an NBA cares event and he was also the inaugural winner of the NBA's Kia Community Assist Award.
And people thought Shaq-a-Claus was the only Lakers big man that cared for the community.

The room was very updated. Furniture nice, nice granite in the bathroom, nice bedding.
Toilet was not clean when we got there.Staff was not very helpful. Only three hangers available. When I asked for more they said no. Upon arrival toilet was nasty so I cleaned it myself. Must've been the maids fault because on the third day of my stay a new maid came and everything was sparkling clean and beautiful.
Our room was okay, the fridge in the room did not work, the phone in the room did not work both could not be fixed until after we were supposed to be checked out. The breakfast was nice.

Front Desk person was so nice. She made me feel right at home. I was in town for a funeral and it actually made the trip comfortable.
NoI wasn't expecting to much for a small town motel, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was wonderful and the room was so clean and inviting. They had turned the heat on prior to my arrival and it was so warm and inviting. Especially for a cold and rainy day. When I go back this is definitely where I will be staying. Thank you so much for making a sad time so bearable.
We were told breakfast started at7:00 we arrived at the location an there was no sign of any breakfast. We waited until 7:15 and still no sign. We had a 12 hour drive and did not want to wait and find out when breakfast would be out so we left.would not stay again

The air conditioning was not working properly, so the room was a bit hot and made it difficult to sleep comfortably. Also, the beds were extremely hard and not very comfortable.Location to Statesboro was good, as we were there for the graduation. However, I was NOT pleased that the prices were inflated too highly because of this. I felt that the price I paid was entirely too expensive for the quality of the hotel.
Poor 1.0
Everything was terrible. Manager was rude, accosting from the beginning to end. Toilet didn't flush, sheets thin, when we wanted ice for our cooler he told us to buy from gas station. He called at 10am to check out at 11 as if he was watching the room.Terrible, filthy, rude management. Bad area, empty for a reason. Would never ever stay here again. If Statesboro is sold out stay home before staying here. My sons eyes watered and itched from the room. Never again. This place isn't suitable for anyone.

The room was very clean and quiet. Some people don't like the set-up, but I liked having a small couch, a recliner, and a desk and chair. The price was very good and the woman at the front desk was very nice.I had an interview at the State Prison and the drive was about 20 minutes. I think this is the closest hotel to the prison. I will be back in the area next week and I will stay here again.

The hotel smell bad my room smell if someone had just smoked a truck load of cigarettes. My friend had a non smoking room and hers was just as bad.Bath tub was dirty and towels was sandy as if they had been on a beach.Thats was the worst hotel I stay in.I wouldn't advice anybody to stay at this hotel. They need to do some cleaning i mean deap cleaning. They need to get some odor spray for the smoking its bad in the smoking and nonsmoking room.There tubs need to be cleaned and they need some new towels also better smelling soap.What a bad night.

Clean rooms with comfortable beds.
The only drawback to this hotel was that there were no interior doors. All the doors where exterior doors, which we do not particularly care for, especially when traveling with our family.

Just about everything. Ann went out of her way to make our stay wonderful. The couple cleaning the room was just super, very friendly. Location worked out perfect for us.
Went for breakfast one morning all the contract people staying there ate everything, there was nothing left. Also our personal towels went missing from the pool, but guess you cannot blame motel keepers. We had a corner room, parking could of been closerCould not perform any better. It was way better than we expected. Pool was always clean, Ann was just outstanding. Because of her, we will definitely be back. Just a wonderful lady.
Beds were comfortable and clean. Fairly good channel selection on TV. Microwave/fridge units in all rooms. Excellent water pressure and hot water. Rooms were spacious.
TV's were very old, functional, but very old. Hotel was in need of an update as it is beginning to appear rundown inside of rooms. Overall, room was clean enough, but maids miss some stuff under bed skirts, corners and behind/around furniture.Beds were comfortable and clean. Fairly good channel selection on TV.

|The PHP Scalability Myth
|Two-tier vs. three-tier
|2003-10-17 12:12:03
To begin with, the author apparently doesn't understand the reasons behind three-tiered architecture. It has nothing to do with "code factoring". It has to do with scalability. Not performance. Scalability. They are completely different issues, especially in the context of complex business applications.
Showing messages 1 through 3 of 3.
Two-tier vs. three-tier
2003-12-12 09:11:13 anonymous2 [View]
Once a web server accepts an HTTP connection, that connection cannot be "passed off" to another system: it must handle that connection to completion.
Suppose an HTTP connection has been established between the client (e.g., browser) and the web server. That connection must remain open until the same web server generates a response. Also, even though information from the initial request may be is passed to another tier, the result of that information must be returned _back_ through the same web server for final processing before being returned to the client. During that time the web server must maintain all data structures necessary for the
- HTTP connection, and
- connection to the next tier (e.g., database connection).
This is where any scalability limitations apply.
It is better to maintain a redirector _ahead_ of the web servers. The purpose of this component is to redirect the request to the least-loaded web server.
Two-tier vs. three-tier
2003-10-17 12:39:26 anonymous2 [View]
Physically separating the tiers is more hurtful than helpful. If your web server and application are both sharing the same hardware, and your application needs more power but your web server doesn't, how will it hurt anything to simply run the combination on more servers? It won't. But it will cut down on the overhead of communicating with remote servers, which is very significant.
The only thing that matters is being able to run the CPU-bound section (or whatever the bottleneck is) on more hardware. The fact that the web server is now getting more power than it needs is not a problem.

A lot of the 'heat' being generated here appears to stem from the absence
of a good definition for "scalability" in the article. This is a common
Scalability is an abstact notion. So are terms like "reliability", and the
word "performance" itself. One person's meat is another's poison. With
regard to computer system performance, you might desire to optimize such
metrics as, throughput, response time, or resource utilization; to name a
few. The goal depends on the context. If you're printing reports at the end
of the financial year, MAXIMUM throughput is likely to be your goal. In
contrast, many web applications focus on MINIMIZING user response time.
Simply put, 'scalability' is a relation among variables (performance
metrics) that characterizes the rate of diminishing returns as the
dimensions of the system are increased. This means that scalability can
actually be expressed in a mathematical form. I've tried to illuminate this
point elsewhere http://www.perfdynamics.com/papers.html. Specifially,
http://www.teamquest.com/html/gunther/fitting.shtml and
http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cs.DC/0210017 should be of interest.

This morning's theme: poses during which I can drink my coffee. And twists. And I may have made my playlist a little too badass because there was a yoga dance party (I can't stay still during any song that featured on a soundtrack of a teen dramedy from the late 1990s / early 2000s). #yoga #coffee #music #notashamed
Top left: I've been seeing this pose floating around (probably part of a January photo challenge?). I had never tried it before. It's kind of fun. My toes got a workout because this wasn't the only pose that required them tucked…
Center left: Stole this from donutyogi. Hint: make sure your toes are gripping your mat, or you're suddenly going to have really good splits…
Center right: I've NEVER been able to do this. (This is the twist where you're grabbing both feet with the opposite hand.) It just seemed like something to do today.
Bottom left and center: Reclined pigeon does very little for me, but adding the twist has felt AMAZING on my outer hip, particularly my left one.
Bottom right: Garundasana in salamba sarvangasana (say that five times fast.. or once). I actually tried twisting my arms (while my feet were on the floor and my knees were to my chest) to see if it worked. Note: It does not. Well, kinda. But mostly not really.
Warning: Home practice makes you a little crazy.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I find it funny how over-focused hunters are on dps optimization. like 80% of hunters are BM and use a rotation macros. Being #1 on the dps charts to them isnt enough:) I got a 70 hunter thats my main and I love MM. I also MANUELY weave my shot, sew me for wanting to entertain myself.
Here's the problem... You're playing a pure DPS class. You do damage. That's what you do. If you are doing less than you can you shouldn't be grouping in end game. The only other thing hunters bring are raid buffs and CC. MM's true shot aura is the worst of the three hunter raid buffs (ferocious inspiration from BM, and expose weakness from SV being the other two).
MM is in my opinion the weakest spec for hunters (less DPS than BM generally, and less utility than SV). If you love it because it is fun, that's great, but don't be surprised when other hunters are actually trying to do damage.
Trust me I know. I've been preached to about this too many times already. Been playing a hunter for 3 years now, done all 3 specs. Honestly every raid ive been in, all the hunters are pushing and competing for highest dps, and if you fall below, everyone tries to give you tips. Its just funny, plus in comparison (plus numerous testing) there isnt much of a different in the total percentage. Its just how "on it" you are. I've out Dpsd BM many times.
Ofc you want to be on 1# doesnt every dps class, think you must have that as motivation.
For the MM v.s BM discussion again. yes I like MM more to and yes it is possible to out dps BM specs with MM , but most of the time BM will win it.
I too have played MM for long time and most of the time i outdpsed BM or was on par with time, but when a BM overdps me they surely did so :S with big amounts.
next to that ok BM is 1 button spec, but your raid wants big dps from you, and you want to get a raid spot dont ya.
MM is doable but very dependant on your manual shot rotation, so more chance for error.
the dicision is yours.

That awkward moment when a patient tells you that she has difficulty breathing.
But when you assess her objectively:
(1) Normal respiratory rate; (2) Accessory muscles unused; (3) Clear breath sounds; (4) Normal VTE; (5) Normal Pressure Limitations; (6) No desaturation (7) She looked pretty comfortable with current vent settings.
And I'm like:
That crappy moment when you have 3 pages worth of orders at the end of your shift.
Why did you have to wait until the end of my shift to order all those crap for my patient, Ms. Resident? How am I supposed to go home on time? No worries. Just be cool. :)
The Thing I Hate Most.
The thing I hate most about my job, about being a nurse, is that I can't help but blame myself whenever my patient suddenly goes to the opposite end of being healthy. In just a millisecond, an alert and coherent patient becomes unresponsive. I dislike it when the deterioration happens in my watch. My mom told me to just get over it and move on, and that it is part of the job, but I just can't help but worry. Was it something I did? Was it something I didn't do?
That crappy moment when you have to wake up early because you have to work… on a Sunday.
I hate working on Sundays. :(

Toledo, OH (Sports Network) - Coron Williams scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Robert Morris Colonials to a 69-51 victory over the Toledo Rockets in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament at Savage Arena.
Lucky Jones added 13 points and six boards off the bench for Robert Morris (26-10), while Russell Johnson and Velton Jones tallied 10 points apiece. The Colonials will await the second round results to find out their quarterfinal round opponent.
Rian Pearson led Toledo (19-17) with 14 points.
Robert Morris took a 30-16 lead into halftime after it shot 47.6 percent from the field and connected on 6-of-10 from beyond the arc in the first half. The Rockets were ice cold to start and could only connect on 20.7 percent of their field goal attempts while going 0-of-9 from three-point range in the opening period.
Toledo bounced back after the intermission and shot 54.5 percent from the field including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The improvement would not be enough, as the Colonials made 52 percent of their field goal attempts and added nine points at the charity stripe to extend their lead in the final 20 minutes.
Robert Morris did a spectacular job sharing the ball as 20 of its 23 made field goals were assisted. The Colonials also gave a strong effort on the glass which led to a 35-26 advantage in the rebounding battle.

Last-Minute Christmas Gift Ideas
- Drugstores like CVS and Walgreens carry a good selection of toys and gift cards to other stores, but you can get creative. Pick up a gift bag there and toss in some items for a "Spa Party" -- nail polish, cotton balls, toe separators, manicure and pedicure implements, maybe even some flip-flops. Or make a gift bag for a movie night: They sell candy, popcorn and DVDs!
- Your local grocery store is a good bet also. Pick up some pet toys and treats for an animal lover, or fancy olive oils and spreads for a foodie.
- If you're a AAA member, stop by their office for movie tickets and travel books, or buy someone a gift membership.
- Office stores have a great selection of electronics, as well as backpacks and fun stationery supplies.
- Lots of online retailers are upgrading to overnight or two-day shipping. If you are an Amazon Prime member (which is free to moms/dads/caregivers for three months), take advantage of their free two-day shipping and upgrades to overnight shipping for only $3.99 per item.
- If you're really down to the wire, go to GiftCertificates.com and e-mail a "super certificate" (recipient can choose the merchant) or e-certificate from a specific retailer.
- A little ingenuity goes a long way. One of my favorite presents for my last birthday was a card from a friend in my book club promising to buy the next three book club picks for me.
- The best presents often involve the gift of time, so keep that in mind -- maybe a gift card to a restaurant, along with an offer to babysit the night your friend redeems the card.

Literature Review, Taxonomy, and Research AgendaKunst, Katrine; Vatrapu, Ravi (Atlanta, GA, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent years have seen an increased sharing of consumptive practices, experiences and evaluations on social media platforms. Such socially shared consumption can range from electronic word-of-mouth to formal online reviews as well as automated product mentions facilitated by social media applications Based on a review of extant emerging literature on this topic as well as of literature on relevant topics such as social influence, online reviews, theories of the extended self and conspicuous consumption, this paper proposes a new concept, "socially shared consumption" and a taxonomy for better understanding and analysing the growing phenomenon of consumers' social sharing of consumption on social media platforms The taxonomy consists of five dimensions of socially shared consumption: Phase, Automation, Formality, Expressiveness, and Sentiment. The primary contributions of this research-in-progress paper are (a) description and definition of the new concept of socially shared consumption, (b) preliminary proposal of a taxonomy of socially shared consumption, and (c) outline of a research agenda to conduct theory-based empirical studies of socially shared consumption phenomena.

Three Meditations for Experiential ComputingBødker, Mads (Atlanta, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper uses three meditations to contemplate walking, sensing and participation as three ways with which we can extend the notion of 'experiential computing' proposed by Yoo (2010). By using the form of meditations, loosely associated concepts that are part introspective and part 'causative', i.e. aimed as some form of change in perspective within Information Systems Research, the paper weaves empirical incidents from fieldwork with theoretical concepts on movement, sensuality, and embodiment, suggesting directions for methodologies and techniques to be pursued if experiential computing is intended to also inform the design of technologies for the future. By emphasizing the senses and the body and their importance to an extended notion of sensory apprenticeship (Pink, 2009), the paper suggests alternative routes to knowing and representation in IS related fieldwork.

Metaphors in an Information System ProjectHekkala, Riitta; Stein, Mari-Klara; Rossi, Matti (Atlanta, GA, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This study looks at metaphors from the perspective of cognitive metaphor theory. Using the theory developed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) we examine the use of metaphors by project members in an information system (IS) project. The data was collected from 22 interviews. Interviews were conducted with a range of stakeholders, including representatives of users, software developers, experts and IT and service managers. The findings of this qualitative case study indicate that IS developers and experts use many kinds of metaphors to make sense of the IS project they work on. The findings also show that metaphor is pervasive in IS development work, not just in language but also in thought and action and various metaphors are used to make sense of the different phases of the project. It can be argued that the dominant metaphors of any given project will strongly affect the trajectory of the project. Thus the metaphors in use in a project should be a concern for project management and we suggest that emphasizing constructive metaphors could be beneficial for many projects.

Evidence of Systematic Differences in User PopulationsWulf, Julie; Hardt, Daniel (Atlanta, GA, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Do user populations differ systematically in the way they express and rate sentiment? We use large collections of Danish and U.S. reviews to investigate this question, and we find evidence of important systematic differences: first, positive ratings are far more common in the U.S. data than in the Danish data. Second, Danish reviewers tend to under-rate their own positive reviews compared to U.S. reviewers. This has potentially far-reaching implications for the interpretation of user ratings, the use of which has exploded in recent years. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8959

A Comparative Study of Four European SolutionsKazan, Erol; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper focuses on the triumph march of mobile phones that currently are annexing music players, navigation devices, and cameras as separate physical objects. The next target is set on payment. Through synthesizing available literature, we construct a framework for studying digital payment platforms that combines platform, technology and business design aspects. The framework is applied to conduct a comparative case study of digital payment platforms. Four types of market actors are considered: banks, mobile network operators, merchants, and startups, which are incumbents and disrupters in the payment industry. These actors issue four types of payment systems, and we can observe that three of four platforms types can be classified as multi-sided platforms (MSP). All alternatives seek foothold by issuing evolutionary payment instruments, which are intertwined with digital payment platforms. By hosting third-party services, payment instruments are evolving from single-purpose to multi-functional ones. Our research extends existing payment literature from the MSP perspective to emphasize certain digital payment platform components, which impact strategies and complementary products.

Military Housing
Naval Base Ventura County, CA
Port Hueneme and Point Mugu
PCS relocating or moving? This Real Estate Agent will help you get the Best Possible Deal. For nearly two decades, this Real Estates agent has worked with Military families helping service members find housing due to Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders or relocation.
An Oxnard resident and property owner since 1985, this Real Estate Agent's investments in Oxnard Real Estate and Port Hueneme Real Estate have been very beneficial and using that experience, whether buying an Oxnard house for sale, selling, renting or investing in Oxnard Real Estate or Port Hueneme Real Estate, this Real Estate Agent can help military families find Oxnard & Port Hueneme homes for sale.
The City of Port Hueneme, founded in the early 1900's, was given the American Indian name for "resting place." With a boundless array of unbroken, white sandy beaches, sky-blue waters, and tranquil seaside plains, This ocean front town is home to the only deep-water commercial harbor between Los Angeles and San Francisco with Customs Port of Entry and Foreign Trade Zone designation.
The recent addition of the United States Navy Seabee Museum (pictured above) opened just a few years ago features exhibits from World War II to the present. As Seabees continue to serve throughout the world, the museum honors the service to our nation of the See Bees for the last 70 years. As a personal note, my former wife's uncle, at the age of 16 enlisted in the Navy in the closing days of WWII and was stationed here in Port Hueneme training for the invasion of Japan that fortunately never occurred. Thirty years later, my cousin Marvin, a career sailor was also stationed here in Port Hueneme during his last posting.
At the age of 12, I first went fishing leaving from the Port of Hueneme to the Channel Islands. In those days, the Norton Sound, a missile tracking ship was docked in the Port. The Pacific Missile Test Range, with facilities in China Lake in the Mojave desert to the outer Channel Islands, the test range has been an integral part of our nations defense. Later, as an avid SCUBA diver, I made countless trips from the Port to the islands. Once the Port started commercial re-development in the 1980's, first as the import destination for Mazda, the fishing and dive boats moved to the Channel Islands Harbor.
The Navy still has a presence in the Port and with a direct rail line, is an important link in the supply chain to the Gulf.
Although numerous rental condos, apartments and single family homes are available, rental rates are remain fairly high. Weekly & monthly vacation or corporate rentals are available as well. Extended stay accommodations are available in numerous Inns and Motels. Extended stay accommodations may have a kitchenette
Unique beach and inland Hotels, Motels and Inns are available. There are also numerous new Hotels & Motels representing most national chains in the area. Many cater to business customers and some offer extended stay accommodations, usually weekly or monthly rates.
A bit complex since school district boundaries often do not coincide with municipal boundaries. Numerous new schools have been built just in the last few years.
Shopping around Oxnard and Port Hueneme
Just in the last few years western Ventura County has become a shopping destination for miles around. From outlet malls to traditional department stores, all stadium seat theatres to neighborhood eateries, residents can find just about everything they need locally.
Restaurants around Oxnard and Port Hueneme
Large selection of specialty cafes including Asian, Mexican, Italian and Seafood among many.

So glad I'm skipping this for now. I want it but not as bad as most Atlus games. I've got more then enough on my plate and Fantasy Life soon! This will be a perfect pick up some time in April or May when the MH4 hype dies down.

No, just no! The original was and is a classic that shouldn't be messed with. We have enough 2d Zeldas leave the 3d ones alone.
@Yellowtails @ModestFan93 Seems I've done my job. Wilding up Pokemon fans is fun! " />
What a nifty idea and long overdue. I'll go with one of the free ones till I figure out which I want. Also thank God for no Pokemon ones as of yet. Highly overrated!
I've been waiting for this forever! Nice review and I'll pick this up Soon.
I'm having too much fun not to get it. I want it all lol. I'm up till 4 in the morning playing it when I should've went to bed 2 hours ago. I love how different weapons changes you move set drastically!
Why am I seeing Kid Chameleon in this game?
Just got back with mine. I'll play some here in a bit. I'm actually more excited now then I was for the whole build up for it. I've now excepted that it's a hack and slash Zelda and there's nothing wrong with that!
Lol, my kids hate that part of the game. They say it's scary. Funny stuff this is!
I absolutely love this game. One of the most fun racing games even to this day. Graphics were ahead of it's time if you ask me. At least the water graphics and physics.
Looks good for when I pick this up 3 to 5 months from now on sale. This will be the first game from Atlus I'm deliberately waiting on a sale.
Definitely on my radar!
Is it bad I still don't know which job I want to start with? I'm leaning towards Hunter, Carpenter, and or Woodcrafter.
I was just a Blacksmith in Weapon Shop De omasse and ever game has a Paladin so I'll do those close to last.
My hype for this game has gone from day one 100% to bargain bin. UBISoft sure know how to DoA their games.
This one took me by surprise. I was expecting it to play so we'll and look as good as it did back when I played it.
Yep, this is bull crap if you ask me. We as a society are conditioned to upgrade every couple of years and now Nintendo has gone full force. It's the dividing if the user base I have the biggest problem with. I have this thing called the CPP they don't seem to be interested in using. Exclusive games even one is a problem in my book. This is called being forced to upgrade and I have a bad feeling the next Metroid will only be available on this new 3ds! Bad move Nintendo.
Another bad move is releasing Smash long before this here and without features for how long till the new system comes out? Talking about handicapping a new release.
I would give my right arm to play this on VC!
This was my favorite N64 game and there was plenty of good ones. I loved everything about this game!
@Olaf Story yes gameplay, I don't think so. Even though it's vastly improved over the original I still think EOIV is the best in the series of the 5. He said story doesn't matter to him anyways and even though EOIV doesn't feature a story it does have one and one that has quite a few interesting twists.
@lilpieri Just to some things up for you on these games. I've played everyone of them. I've spent about 500 hours on all of them total. 140 on EOIV, about 100 on Overclocked, and about 110 on SMT IV. In other words you will get your money back and then some as they will take quite some time to beat. 15 dollars is a crime and a steal for these games!
@ollietaro They have 2 coming out in the next 2 month's. Citizens of Earth and Persona Q. Beyond those who knows.
@Kogorn733 @TruenoGT EOIV was my second favorite game last year Only to SMT IV. Untold is really good as well but is just an updated version of the original. EOIV has all the updated options plus the over world which really brought a lot to the table. Hands down get EOIV but there is a demo for both in the shop and both transfer over to the full game so check them out.
Wow! Now those are sales!!! I have everyone of those though so let me know When Q goes on sale for 30$ or less and I'm there!
Yep, that about sums up one fight with Diablos!
@MoonKnight7 Shows you what I know, I didn't even know you could run till you just said it and I'm still enjoying it! O.o
@MoonKnight7 Did you only play the demo? I've got head shots right off the bat. I'm wondering if the patch I got before even starting fix a few issues that you're referring to? If you only played the demo I encourage you to pick it up on the cheap, after all I just paid 7.99 for mine new so not only do I think I got value I also would've gladly paid full price as I think it's that good.
How is there no comments in here yet? Anyways, even this was better then Mario Kart 64 in my book. Tons of fond memories from this excellent racer! 9-10 from me.
@MoonKnight7 Really? I've gotten plenty of head shots and killed them in one shot. I've also got up higher on stairs and one shot the Zombies with a melee hit.
I just recently picked up the game and love every minute of it. The sense of dread is amazing to me. Makes me feel so tense in whatever I do. I think UBISoft nailed this one!
Yes, I agree with this score. Really wish the last 3ds Pilotwing was more like this!
Ok, so when will we see the dev come in here and bash this review? That's the common theme these days right?
Sad to say it's a little know fact that cheap games sell good. Why, because there is less of a risk for whether you will enjoy it or not. I also get the impression that most people already know that a cheap game is less of a commitment and they just want a quick fix. My U is for quality games and my phone is for quick fixes!
I totally agree with that score. To me it's the weakest in the series. The rubberbanding was unforgivable.
I can't believe not one person complained this got an 8 lol. Great score if you ask me. Can't wait to dig into this. Seems like there's enough content to last me months!
Can't wait for this game! Nice to see all the news on this today.
If that's not a teaser trailer I don't know what is. From what was shown it looks very nice and that music reminds me a bit of Bioshock. Not a bad thing at all!
In this case work = fun!
Can't wait to play this. Now I really want it even more!
@JakeShapiro I'm actually surprised you liked the 2 bouncy tables over the other 2. I felt the total opposite of what you thought. I really like the Dr. Strange table more for it diversity in mission modes more then anything and that's what won me over on that table.
You are right about one thing on the GotG table and that's the opening. I've never been a fan of starting a table off with a multiball. Once you get the hang of it though you can score quite big off it though but still I'd rather have that somewhere else instead. As for the rest I personally thought it was well designed and easy to play without losing a ball too quickly. My only other problem was some of the ball colors were far too hard to see. The Rocket mission is hard enough then alone the color of those 2 stupid balls.
Thanks for your review though. I think the new tables should get some attention. Btw would you mind if I sent a friend request to you? I'm a Zen junky!
Well maybe you can send me one lol. You have it blocked. If not no biggie.
@Mk_II What bugs are you referring to? They fixed the Spiderman one. The rest of the bugs are too minor to even mention.
Oh and trust me
me, I've explored the tables very well. I also gave my review of the tables over on Miiverse and I ranked them in this order.
Dr. Strange
The Walking Dead
I like them all but however funny Deadpool is it's a hard table and frustration almost makes me explode at it at times.
Don't believe it till Capcom confirms it.
Don't know anything about the show but love the genre so it's definitely worth a look!
Also just got my codes! Yes they're spoken for.
@shigulicious I would be inclined to say yes but one Diddy Kong Racing and what 10 Metroids. Of course I would still give the nod to Metroid as it's my second favorite franchise.
@OorWullie Just Google it and a host of them will pop up. They're were squashed about 9 months ago but in the last couple of months have resurfaced.
Way better then Mario Kart 64. I hated the rubberbanding in that and it was the worst of the series imo. Loved everything about Diddy! We really need an upgrade to this and I so hope all these rumors are true. You can't loss the overworld aspect though or it's just not Diddy.

One of the coolest things about being a YA lit fanatic is how amazingly easy it is to communicate with and see all your favorite authors. I mean, really, how many adult authors would respond personally to your comment on their blog, friend you on Facebook after you posted about their book, mention your name in a video on their YouTube channel, and tell embarrassing stories about their own teen years while you are standing right next to them? Not many, that's for sure. But YA authors love being connected to their readers as much as possible.

Sometimes, Mistakes Are Made
Before the sales rep can say anything, the wife bursts into speech, relating the long saga of the kitchen renovation through which she and her husband have been suffering for something like the past year.
Her tale ends with a convoluted explanation of why they are here today, and all the sales rep can gather at first is that this couple was burned by the last company that sold them a stone slab for their kitchen countertop. They have come to look at other slabs because every time they walk into their kitchen their stomachs twist with anger. The slab they paid for was not the slab they selected, and it doesn't go with anything else in their kitchen.
And so they are here today to find something that blends in with the rest of their kitchen. The sales rep shows them around. At first, they are looking for something warm-colored, but they are open to other possibilities, so the sales rep shows them Tropicalia (earthy colors: moss-green, taupe, a lot of movement and some sparkle, but the colors are neutral so the slab isn't crazy-looking), Angelus (pretty: bluish greys and pale aqua, not as fluid as the Tropicalia, but still very pretty).
But, what they finally settle on is New Azul Aran: steel blue-grey with some silver and a complement of creamy-taupe for the grounding neutral. They see a slab, they select it, and then a few days later: another sales rep sells the same slab to a different customer.
Our sales rep calls the wife, who is understandably suspicious when the sales rep promises to replace the slab with one just like it, that will be brought in from the Long Island warehouse. So the wife comes in to view the second slab of New Azul Aran, toting the same suitcase full of accessories she made her husband lug around the first time. After spending a half an hour alone in contemplation with the second slab, she is satisfied that it is almost identical to the first. A sales order is made, a delivery is scheduled, and everything is locked down.
A few weeks later, the sales rep gets a very nice e-mail from the wife gushing about how happy she and her husband are with their new countertops. She sends pictures, and the new look is undeniably more cohesive.
The lesson (or moral) of this story is, as we said, obvious and simple, and yet people in customer service often do not observe it: pay attention to details—it isn't hard, and a little effort makes everybody happy in the end!

The 10 finalists were chosen from every location that was considered a ŌĆ£dream townŌĆØ over the past 15 years. The magazine included a range factors including the percentage of clear and sunny days, health of beach eco-systems, commute times, walkability, crime rates, standard of living, and the financial well-being of the townŌĆÖs residents. Also factored in was the Gallup-Healthways Well-being Index, which uses surveys to measure aspects of well-being such as purpose, social, financial, community, and physical. In addition, the magazine editor assessed each townŌĆÖs ŌĆ£coastal vibe,ŌĆØ which was included in the final tally.
CHARIHO - Times they are a ŌĆśchanging. Nowhere is that more evident than seeing the New Age enter a small town.
The New Age Movement, which started in the late 1900s, challenged what we, as Americans, had been taught to believe about ourselves, others and the world around us. Combining such practices as alternative medicine, holistic health, psychology, metaphysical traditions and eastern beliefs, people were suddenly open to the opportunities that arose when it was accepted that nothing in life is singular, but connected to everything else.

George, Seattle, and the Clouds
Mar 10
In Friends, Rambling at 10:23am
Had breakfast and coffee with George Divoky yesterday. Breakfast was the smaller part of it, actually. What we really did was have coffee together, which is what you do in Seattle. It is basically a sacrament here, the having of the coffee. George and I grew to be friends, really, over coffee. George is an ornithologist, and he has done the remarkable thing of studying a colony of Black Guillemonts on Cooper Island since 1975. Every year, for three months, George goes up there to this barren stretch of ice north of Barrow, Alaska, and lives in the most basic of conditions with these birds, observing their trends, their mating patterns, and their migratory habits. He might have gone up there to study the birds all those years ago, but the amazing consistency of his visits has resulted in a trove of first hand, irrefutable evidence of weather trends, the melting of the ice pack, and the resultant impact on the cycle of life up there, and hence, everywhere.
I spent a mere nine days on Cooper and I can tell you, there isn't a Marriott in sight. It is basic tent living, out there with the birds and the polar bears. To do it, as George has, for 36 years, is a tale of dedication, a labor of love, and an inquisitive mind. His notebooks are a road map of changes in the weather and the earth, all observed firsthand. And, while he's a dedicated scientist, he's also got a great sense of humor, which was the basis of our friendship struck out there on the ice ten years ago. He's an amazing guy, the subject of many magazine interviews, a coming book, an appearance on David Letterman, and even a play in London. You can check out his activities and observations here, at Friends of Cooper Island.
Outside of having friends like George, I do love being here in Seattle. Nice city, nice folks. I have a theory. I feel it's very important that it remains resolutely cloudy here, every day. Hear me out. The unrelenting cloud cover produces a wonderful sort of torpor, a blanket, if you will, that one can continuously crawl under and, well, yawn the day away. No pressure, no people shouting at you to get out their damn way, no subways jammed with folks eyeballing each other suspiciously.
It's come to that in the NY subway, by the way. In this age of the dominance of the internet, there is the phenomenon of newspaper-less commuting. Used to be, even in the most crowded of trains, you could avert your eyes, and bury yourself in a Cindy Adams column, or the antics of celebrities caught with their pants down on Page Six, or be engaged by a clever headline. Now that most riders are no longer armed with a tabloid or the even more effective camouflage of a broadsheet, they're left to balefully, soullessly glare at each other with doubt and regret, if not outright aggression, as after all, the best defense is a good offense, or something like that. Thus when the apparently blind, legless person on a trolley (think Eddie Murphy in Trading Places) with the incredibly bad singing voice pushes themselves and their tin cup through the crowded car, most straphangers no longer have the pup tent of a daily newspaper to dive into until they move on or shut up. It probably works out well for the down on his luck supplicant, as there are always lots of newcomers to the NYC subway system who haven't seen the trolley bound tenor before, and thus donate some change and hope they vanish into the next car. Little do they know that some of the folks who work the subways might actually own three taxi medallions and have multiple rental properties in Brooklyn, and for them, the subway thing is a part time gig.
Back to Seattle. Even the cab drivers here don't honk their horn. Amazing. Again, methinks, those soporific, mellow mood inducing clouds at work. Geez, I even walked through a building yesterday and from the speakers came drifting Seals and Crofts, fer chrissakes.
Enter the coffee. You see, there's a synergy here. A place like this would probably pull a Rip Van Winkle and just drift off entirely to sleep were it not for the bountiful, splendid variety of good tasting caffeine. The coffee sort of meets the clouds halfway and produces just the right mix of energy and conversational connectivity that enables everyone to hold down a job even though they spend a good deal of the day chatting or tweeting or emailing in a beanery. It's a beautiful thing. I would move here in a heartbeat, except that I'm just generally too antsy. Put me near this much coffee and I couldn't help myself. It would be an irresistibly frequent and dangerous combination, like a moth to flame, Stockton to Malone, Charlie Sheen and saying something irretrievably stupid.
This is all just a theory, but I think I'm onto something…..more tk….
29 Cities, 13,000 Miles….
Jan 25
In Lighting, News, Rambling at 8:27am
Never had this much fun with pushpins, I tell ya. 29 cities, spread all over the U.S. Numnuts with his TTL high wire act jumping on a bus with Captain Manual, aka Strobist, aka St. David of Baltimore. We're gonna converge on Seattle on March 11, pack a bunch of speed lights into the hold of a bus, and just roll from there. Go to this website for the straight skinny on the whole shebang.
David does manual. I do TTL. It was always gonna come to this, right? Packed on board the bus with us are Drew Gurian, Grippi, Cali, and of course, Jeff Snyder of Adorama, which is the major sponsor of the tour. Geez, I wonder if the bus runs on methane? Our saving grace will be road manager Karen Lenz. She will, I think, keep the bus from being a zoo on wheels.
Kidding aside, there's gonna be a great day of teaching at each stop. David does the morning shift, showing manual flash, and creating buzz by adding and subtracting lights. He's going to concentrate a bit on the "why" of light, which is something a lot of shooters don't actually think about all that much in the midst of just doing light. I take over in the afternoon, go TTL, walk the plank, see if it works, push the system and fire lights from way far away. Both David and I have been on the beta team for the new Pocket Wizard Flex-Mini's, and this tour is a big time rollout for them. The units rock, and the envelope of all small flash, TTL and otherwise, just got a whole bunch bigger with these puppies coming into their own.
So go to the site, www.theflashbus.com. I've been a bit of a cartoon my whole life. Now it's official. More tk….

Fall in New York
Oct 28
In Rambling at 6:54am
Looked like one those familiar adventures yesterday in NY. Had a shoot setup, with my bud, RC Concepcion. It was raining, all day. Go or not go? For a magazine assignment, no question. Just go. But a self assignment? Hey, I could have another latte and do some more computer work. Or watch the new Robin Hood movie for the eighth or ninth time. I could stay here and look out the window, or some other equally necessary and demanding task.
Or, I could hoist the backpack, and once again, trudge through the weather with an anvil on my back, and a tripod in my hand. Met RC, who is this wonderful font of shooting enthusiasm, and off we went. Had made arrangements via a dear friend, who has friendly neighbors who have that rarest of NY things–a view.
We saw some blue sky walking over, and our spirits rose. Then we went inside an elevator, and like some beam machine from Star Trek, it transported us to another world. We were all of a sudden up and out on a misty deck–and in the heaviest rain of the day. We stood there, getting soaked. Went inside and started dripping on towels, shoulders slumped, about to have the "What bar do you want to go to dude?" conversation when RC's eyes went saucer like, and he shouted, "Get the cameras!"
Outside, the skies had cleared, and it was like one of those fellas from Greek mythology just threw a multi-hued javelin right into the park. I think that's about 83rd St., right in the middle of the Great Lawn. That's NY, right? Just when you think you got a one way ticket to Pismo Beach, you turn around and you're in Fat City. (The opposite happens much more frequently.) Never seen a rainbow like this in the park, but that's mostly 'cause I ain't ever had a view like this before. In my second apartment in NY, I could see the park from my fire escape if I taped a mirror to a broom handle and ran it out a few feet.
Fall in NY also means it's time for PPE at the Javits Center. If you see me walking around, talking to myself like a crazy street person who somehow got a speaker's credential, interrupt me and say hi. Or come to my class this am, starts at 8:45.
Did I say walking around? Make that limping. Went to the chiropractor yesterday. He scanned my feet. See the ones on the right? Those are optimal feet, like, ones that have an arch. The ones on the left are mine. He was shocked. He said, "You have really flat feet!" I guess in chiropractic school there's a course called "Stating the Obvious 302."
I've been carrying lots of gear on the equivalent of pancakes for 35 years. My body's basically a train wreck with legs. I'm Irish Catholic, so I readily accept that fact that if something doesn't hurt, I should check my pulse.
Hey, at PPE, got this thing going. I'm going to BE winging my way by the Adorama booth, where there will be a stash of autographed copies of my new LIFE book. I'll be tweeting things like, "I"ll be at THE Adorama Booth from 3:15 till 3:30. First one to come up to me in the booth and say some nutty phrase that will be in the tweet gets a book. No hi's, or how are ya's. Just walk up and say the phrase, which will be something incredibly stupid I'll dream up like, "Group A, Channel One," or, "Ansel Adams used a point and shoot." Just the phrase. Get a book. I'll be doing it all 3 days, and will have short times I'll be at the booth. Got like, 40 books. Hope to give 'em all away. Stay tuned to the twitter alerts!
Welcome to NY everybody….more tk….
V-Flat Questions….
Aug 24
In Rambling at 2:02am
There were a bunch of really good questions from yesterday's post, so I'll do my best here….
Dick Wood says:
on August 23, 2010 at 5:57 am
Great how to. but I have one small question. Where do you aim the speedlights in the V-flats? the ceiling , into the flats, of bounce them off of the back wall?
Dick WoodPS Love the shorts.
Generally I aim them straight into the "V" portion of the boards, and make sure the flash(es) are tucked in there and don't have a chance to spill hard light to the sides. The v shape collects the light and pushes towards the wall at the shooter's back. Then, it rushes towards the subject with the power of a thousand suns!
On the shorts front, I borrowed them from Hobby. As you can see, my legs are plus 2 EV.
Pete says:
on August 23, 2010 at 7:40 am
Thanks for another great insight into your work Joe.
I have a question though, doesn't the photog (or 'Numnuts' in this case) cast a shadow over the subject? I guess the whole back wall becomes the light source and so maybe wraps around the camera operator?
It doesn't, oddly enough. You would think it would, but in my experience, no. Now, it could happen. Here's the thing. I trot this technique out every once in a while, and I'm sure there are iterations of it that are better, or levels of experimentation with it that I haven't taken the time to investigate. So, I guess, I should qualify and say, you know, I haven't had that specific issue. Now, if you're a photo enthusiast, and you want to shoot your 5 year old twins this way, and your day job is being the right tackle on the offensive line of the New England Patriots, all bets are off.
Mike says:
on August 23, 2010 at 8:06 am
Very cool, but with SB flashes, what kind of ISO and f/stop are you getting? Bouncing the light twice has to really suck up the light. Looks like you're doing shallow DOF, but still curious how high you need to ramp the ISO to make this work well.
Again, in my experience, ISO 200 with this rig gives you a pretty decent f-stop. That is part of the reason (here's Joe "Overkill" McNally at work again) I use the four SB units. Dividing the labor taxes them at a lower stress level than using two. Having said that, have done it with two, and jacked my ISO to 400 or 800 and it works fine. The nice thing about doing a TTL thing here, is that you can flick some buttons on the master, and go from you know, f5.6, to f2. Work this setup at min DOF, and it rocks.
Ranger 9 says:
on August 23, 2010 at 8:11 am
Great idea, and impressive that you can get enough light out of it to shoot at ISO200/f4!
But did you really use just the flats and wall bounce for the top photo (mcnallyshow-143, the flying-haired young lady with the whatsit on her head)? Can't understand how you'd get the hair backlight and the highlight on her temple with this setup. Did you do this with a reflector, or did it need another light, or what?
Good pickup, Ranger 9. This was done ad hoc, spur of the moment. They young lady in question has hair that calls for a studio fan to put on wheels and just walked around with her all day long. So, I tried an experiment. The v-flat lighting was done, and that indeed is the light that governs her face. But there was abundant ambient light in the studio and it got me to thinking, always a dangerous thing. I didn't want my shutter/f-stop combo to get too close to the level of ambient, 'cause you lose the impact of the lighting rig, so I moved a daylight balance steady source (more on these sources in a future blog) in off her shoulder and behind her, to camera right. It is a soft source, running through a medium soft box. It gave her hair a easygoing jolt of fairly concentrated non-flashed light. We moved in the studio fan, and I dragged my shutter a bit, I think to around 1/15th. The result is her hair takes off in the breeze, and a highlight comes in around her temple. I was courting disaster here, hovering around Ice Planet 255, but we squeaked it through and managed to just hold on to, as Father Bob would call them, the holy highlights.
This just in….Father Bob has gone astray, evidently, from a recent perusal of his blog. He's evidently left the Franciscan Order, and is now involved in some sort of new age swami shit. (See below.)

I always love to come here to read more about your shots.
I've been following your work, since the 80's when I was hired by you as a second assistant, in Los Angeles, to do a shoot in the desert of some big Parabolic Antennas for a Fortune edition
Thanks a lot
Good to hear from you Ayrton. Surprised you still speak to me after one of the worst jobs ever. Lighting huge parabolics out in the desert in August, with the shape of the dishes collecting the sun. Felt like an ant under a magnifying glass. Then of course, there were the tarantulas.
Brock Lawson says:
on August 23, 2010 at 9:15 am
Where can one purchase that large of a piece of foam core board?
They're not too tough to get. We order sometimes from Pearl Paint down in NY. Any decent size graphic arts supplier, or set shop, or even grip house should carry them. (These are also a rentable item.)We do 4×8′s black on one side, white on the other. They last a long time, and literally, a smart, cheap investment if you have a home studio.
Alex H says:
on August 23, 2010 at 10:18 am
Joe, long time reader, first time commenter.I just have a couple questions you might help me answer. What power were you shooting the SB-900's at,or was it all TTL? Do you get a different effect based on the height of the ceiling? Also, are you going to post more on the Flexes you've been playing with? Thanks for all of the insight you've provided over the years. It's been invaluable to me!
The ceiling comes into play, for sure, just 'cause there's such a wash of light you are creating. It's gonna fly off that puppy, depending on the height. I tend to think of it as a good thing, just a piece of a "poor man's cove" that continues the bounce effect that Mr. Bensimon used so well. And yeah, absolutely, will be letting fly with some info on the Minis and Flexes, as soon as I can get something I'm happy with.
Matt Hunt says:
on August 23, 2010 at 11:42 am
Thanks for that, dumb question but I am guessing the heads are fairly well zoomed out for this e.g. you're not at 35mm zoom on the flash heads? From the pictures above it has to go..25-30 feet to actually reach the subject? Or, are they firing at nigh on full power?
Tx, Matt
It's actually a really good question, and the answer might be a bit surprising. I leave the dome diffusers on, and consequently, the heads zoomed wide, so the effect in there is a bit bare tube-ish. In fact, when I use bigger flash heads in this fashion, I generally don't put reflector pans on them. I want radiance, not direction. Now–again, I emphasize, this is just me talking. I'm sure there are folks out there using this technique who have gotten it fine tuned to a degree that they zoom their lights into the v-flats for extra punch, and it works real well. This is just me talking, and at this point in my career, after all the flash exposures I've made, I've got about six working synapses left.
Al says:
on August 23, 2010 at 12:34 pm
What are the pro's/cons of using V-flats versus just bouncing off the rear wall? Seems you would lose less light by bouncing once rather than twice.
Done the straight up wall bounce thing occasionally, to be sure, and it works well. It has a bit more punch and clarity, perhaps. The "ping pong" you play with the light in this technique is softer, but you def. lose light, and hence f-stop.
Hope this is helpful, gang….more tk….
The Sounds of Silence….
Aug 4
In Rambling, Rants at 7:30am
Just flew Frontier Airlines for the first time. They did a good job. Counter agent was very nice and didn't even give me the evil eye when I approached laden with 8 pieces to check and just me traveling. Everything was pretty smooth, though, as is typical of every airline, a little tight in coach. I was working on my laptop, and the guy in front of me decided to recline suddenly. I think I might have broken a rib. It's really, really hard to type when you have to lift your stomach off your keyboard to get to the keys.
So Frontier's cool, though it is, as their jaunty slogan suggests, a different kind of animal. Rustic is perhaps a good way to put it. I half expected the flight attendants to be wearing red plaid shirts and suspenders. Their free snacks were decidedly on the natural foods, chex-mex side of things. When I passed the flight deck I thought I heard the pilot and co-pilot humming bars from "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm Okay."
The real trouble with flying a crunchy airline out of a crunchy city is that you might end up sitting near someone who just visited the Pacific Northwest and had a life altering, body scrubbing, soul searching, colon cleansing experience. Such was my fate to sit close-by to someone who had done just that.
Fresh from the salubrious, pine tinged air of the great outdoors, this particularly exuberant, thoroughly pleasant wacko had just been ensconsed at some ashram type of retreat where no conversation was allowed. Yep. Couldn't speak a word for over, like 48 hours. Silent. Non-verbal. Not a peep.
And my wasn't she the little pent up bundle of conversation! Holy shit. I was listening (it wasn't a choice) from a couple rows of seats away in the waiting area, straining my eyes to see if I could see the aisle and seat number on her ticket. I kept thinking about Airplane! and those folks who offed themselves rather than listen to another word about George Zip.
Oh my. Evidently, the place was really beautiful, and the experience of utter silence so profoundly soothing that, like a magpie on speed, she just chattered on about it to anyone in earshot, leaving any sense of the irony of it all bobbing in the wake of the twin Evinrudes of her lips.
Evidently the deep, nearly spiritual connection with silence didn't take. She was a one person cocktail party, basically supplying both ends of the conversation as people desperately tried to appear otherwise engaged. It's tough, though, attempting to appear compelled by reading the type on the air sickness bag.
It's okay. Another day in the skies. A baby started screaming, and the steam went out of any talking in our section. Lord what a wonderful noise.
