Denis Dyack has words for Two Best Friends Play
It's no secret that former Silicon Knights president and current Precursor Games Creative Officer Denis Dyack loves his projects. �Prior to the release of Too Human, the man had a nice�
�with NeoGAF which resulted in him being banned from the forum. �A brave man for taking on the vastness of the Internet by himself to be sure, and it seems he still has a sore spot when it comes to pre-emptive criticism.
Two Best Friends Play, the duo of�AMERICANS who routinely regale YouTube with their humorous game-playing premise, have become quite active in the gaming community since their inception two years ago. �In particular, they have become vocally supportive of various crowdfunded projects, such as�
Kaiju Combat
, and�
Shovel Knight
Once the news of�
Shadows of the Eternals
�came down, the Best Friends were pestered into a statement on the game. �After all, they were just fresh off a playthrough of the game's spiritual precursor: Eternal Darkness. �Who wouldn't want more of that?
Apparently, Pat of Two Best Friends wouldn't. �Or at least, he offered words of caution for his fans on their Facebook page:
"Shadow of the Eternals is the new crowdfunding initiative by the remains of Silicon Knights, Dyack included, to make what is basically Eternal Darkness 2. They are asking for money, straight up, on their website. They do not have to hit their goal. They can merely say they will make�do with the money donated, and take it, and go make whatever. In addition, they are merely taking raw donations on their website, not even going through something like IndieGoGo, which has rules about how to present your product.
Dennis Dyack and Silicon Knights are people who took Too Human and delayed it for years all the way from a PS1 game into a shitty 360 one. They're the ones who are alleged to have embezzled money from Activision in the process of making X-men Destiny in order to fund the Eternal Darkness 2 demo they are showing off to try and get donations. A crew of people that had to have Nintendo come on board and clean up parts of ED1 during development because they were running it too sloppy. Not to mention what a jackass Dyack has been over the years
They're running the donation drive on the assumption that donations will built episode 1 of 12, and that 1 will clearly do well enough to support development for the remainder, some of which are promised via pledges.
I wouldn't trust them with a dime of my money. They're unreliable at best and outright crooks at worst. My opinions are my own (hell, Liam and I got into a huge argument over this, he thinks I'm paranoid as shit), but considering how many people are posting about how excited they are for this, I felt I should put it out there. You should think twice before giving them a single dollar, and if you have, seriously think about trying to get it back.�
I'm aware there's a lot of love for Eternal Darkness, and it's pretty good, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't use your head."
Now unfortunately, this statement was made at almost the exact time the�
actual Kickstarter for the project
�went public. �Regrettable, leaving egg on the face of the Best Friends, but what's surprising is that Denis Dyack himself personally had some words for Pat:
"I think the best way to address your comments is with facts to clear up any confusion you may have on what is happening here:
You say "They are asking for money, straight up, on their website. They do not have to hit their goal. They can merely say they will make do with the money donated, and take it, and go make whatever. In addition, they are merely taking raw donations on their website, not even going through something like IndieGoGo, which has rules about how to present your product.�
We announced a kickstarter yesterday. As stated in our terms of service and our Paul�s CEO latest press release:
"Our community�s involvement has gone well beyond our expectations, with over one thousand pledgers joining our Community Forums to discuss the game and its development,� stated Shawn Jackson, COO of Precursor Games. �We are seeking to raise $1.35 million dollars on Kickstarter. By combining this goal with the tremendous contributions already on our own website, Precursor Games will be able to provide an opportunity for gamers to create games that they want to play.�
�Some people may ask what happens to the pledges on our site if the Kickstarter does not move forward, and the answer is simple: We will issue refunds on our site if the project does not reach its goal on Kickstarter,� said Paul Caporicci. He also emphasized that both campaigns will run in parallel with the same reward tiers.�
I am sorry you did not like some of my past efforts. I always did try to do the best I could - many mistakes were made - I acknowledge that. I can assure that I have learned from my previous experiences. I know there is more to cover here and I will be addressing other issues in the future. I think it is important to get the facts straight on the crowdfunding campaign before moving on to the other issues.
Precursor Games has nothing to do with any of that past and was built from the ground up to interact with the community and digital distribution. We are looking toward to future and hope that others can see the potential of what we are doing.�
I hope this helps.
Denis Dyack"
Pat followed up this response with a rebuttal of his own:
"Mr Dyack, I'm glad you saw my post, but I do have to make a few things clear. I do not want your donation drive for a new game to fail, and I certainly wish you no ill will personally. Far from it. However, Matt, Woolie and I have very publicly pushed for several kickstarters in the past, and seeing the huge amount of people asking us for our thoughts on your new project is what prompted this post.
In addition, I felt pretty stupid when I found out when I had made the post, you folks had in fact started a kickstarter a day earlier. I made a comment mentioning such in the comments below the original post.
I'm certain you're all very talented and nice folks. I also feel very likely that you have the best of intentions with this project. That being said, you cannot possibly honestly say that -
"Precursor Games has nothing to do with any of that past" when on the kickstarter page you clearly list the following as one of the very first selling points in your pitch-
"Shadow of the Eternals is a psychological horror game made by the creators of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Reqiuem,"
If it had nothing to do with any of that past, there wouldn't be so much overlap between companies, and that's more or less where the issue lies. Unfortunately, the way that the public has received news about you and your former companies projects in the past has been poor, to say the least. The entire system of pledges for a product is built on trust in those making said product, and trust in you folks is quite low, as you have a long history of incredible delays, under-delivering and most recently engaging in a disastrous lawsuit that utterly destroyed the company.
Hell, I still remember your personal involvement in the nonsense of "Owned by Too Human" back on Neogaf. I certainly don't think you're a bad guy Mr Dyack, but for an undertaking such as this, credibility is by far your most valuable commodity, and both yourself personally as well as anyone involved with the history of Silicon Knights has very little at this point.
I'm sorry if my post had seemed like a personal attack, or was seen as a desire for you or your project to fail, but I have a responsibility to the people who come to this page and watch our videos to avoid misleading them into the "give everybody your money it'll be fine" fantasy that many have fallen into with this kickstarter phenomenon, even passively, even by not saying anything at all. I felt it was my responsibility to warn folks of what I believe to be real dangers.�
So, once again, I wish you the best Mr Dyack, and I hope you and your team have success in both this and your future endeavours. I will gladly purchase your game on release, should you get there."
It seems the pain of past burns simmers gently beneath this exchange, despite the professionalism exhibited by both sides. �We'll see how this develops as the Shadows of the Eternals project moves forward.
You can see the entire exchange for yourself on the Two Best Friends Play�

Labor Day: Walkthrough of Lordly Caliber
For some people, the topic of "which game required the most work" will be easy as remembering their latest time sink. For others, this may be a reach deep into the past back when they had the time to deeply plumb the recesses of video games before they got a life/job/family.
Although it's the latter case for me, I'm fortunate in that I have well-documented evidence of all the work I put into the games I love
(shameless plug)
, and it's simply a quick read for me to remember the greatest time sink of them all.
The year was 2000. The fifth hardware generation was winding down as Sony prepped its next big thing to take more of the market from Nintendo. Microsoft's first entry into the market was just announced and Sega was still attempting its best to be relevant. Also, most of you lot were still in elementary school.
Also, every computer in the world died.
As for me, the world of the university opened up before me. I was in my second year, no longer a wide-eyed, bushy-tailed freshman. No, the world was now truly my oyster, and there were a metric ton of experiences waiting for me to de-bushify my tail. So, being the intrepid youth I was, I spent the majority of my newfound freedom on the Internet and playing video games shut up in my room in the dark.
It was on that same Internet that I ultimately discovered the community of GameFAQs. I hardly need to introduce such a site to the readers of Destructoid, many of whom I'm sure have spent plenty of time on the site, if for nothing else than perusing the brobdignagian archive of FAQs and walkthroughs.
Of course, we all have our opinions about the community these days, but this was 2000 GameFAQs, back when the community numbered in the mere thousands, assclowns were the exception rather than the rule, and site creator Jeff Veasey was still young and actively involved in discussions, rather than the Howard Hughes-like recluse he is today.
Last known photograph
It was here that the bug of writing truly bit me. I realized that I too could copy down all the strategies on beating video games into a text file, thereby saving gamers tens, maybe twenties of dollars in strategy guide purchases. My e-wang would swell and gorge, and I'd truly find my place in life.
Oh, my naivet�.
Unlike some other writers, I had a vow to encapsulate within my guides everything you may ever want to know about a game. It was only after I began that I realized that everything is a lot of things.
My first project was one Rare masterpiece entitled
Perfect Dark
. Certainly a fair amount of time was spent pulling together the myriad threads of a game so big it required the N64 Expansion Pak to play properly, but help came from varied sources as strategies and the like popped up on the forums, so I can hardly take full credit for that guide's size.
No, the true glut of lost nights and urine-saving came from the development of the appropriately-named Quest Corporation, and via the publishing of a young and still hot-blooded group of nobodies known as Atlus USA.
Atlus, some time before I begged to have their Jack Frost babies
The Ogre series will likely never rise out of niche-dom. Hell, it's barely in the same class as Shin Megami Tensei. Still, niches are meant to be filled, and this series had, and still has, its fans.
Most people knew the series only tangentially once Square consumed Quest and Final Fantasy Tactics games started squirting out. The gameplay from that series was a concept begun by Quest in the Ogre series. Still, that was
Ogre, and the true Ogre Battle fan (note: remove preceding pretentiousness later) is only interested in the main real-time strategy portion of the series.
Also known as "screw those grids"
It was in
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber
that the series shone. Of course, much of that shining could be attributed to the fact that the game was really the N64's only good RPG, but shining is still shiny nonetheless, and my RPG-starved bones feasted ravenously on this offering.
It was early into the game that I decided that, yes, I truly needed to make a guide of this game, if for no other reason than to have a place to chronicle all my thoughts and ideas regarding ways to best condition my troops, place my units, and liberate the kingdom of Palatinus.
It has been said that the despairing wail of my parents' hard-earned tuition payments could be heard that day.
Unheard over the vicious shrieks of freaking Hydras
It would be three months and two complete playthroughs of the game before I could consider my guide anything
to complete. Three months of plugging away at documenting every item, every unit, every character, every battle. Let's not forget that these are
months. This wasn't like an hour a night because I have school or work. These are long "whenever I'm not in class" hours. Stopping every few minutes into a mission because I had to document something meant a half-hour mission turned into two hours.
Such was my labor of love. When those three months were up and the guide was "complete", I still tinkered away at it here and there over the next year or so trying to refine it. In the end, I moved on to other projects that struck me, as I suddenly remembered that there were other video games out there.
All that said, do you know what the worst part about all of this is?
I'm still not satisfied with the end result. My writing was atrocious back in those days, for one thing. My organizing left something to be desired. Also, I didn't really document any good general strategies for making a proper battalion. I mostly just stuck to mission-specific strategies.
This is where I note that, eleven years later, I'm
working on the damn thing. Oh, I have a job and a life now (allegedly), so no more seven hour sessions with the game, but with the game now available on the Virtual Console, it's easier than ever to boot it up and spend some time with Magnus Gallant and his ragtag band of misfits.
I'm still not ready to present what I've been working on all this time, as it's going to require at least one more playthrough to round it all out, but who knows what the next dry spell of games will bring?
One more mission. I can do one more mission, right?

Silent Hill HD Collection: How not to do a preview
Or, "How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Not Blame the Voice Actors".
It goes without saying that previews are important in today's cutthroat game industry. Previews are designed for the fans to get excited about the game. These fans excitedly tell their friends about how awesome the game looks. These friends tell their friends about the sick gameplay, and so on down the line. In the end, the hype is generated and you have a nice bunch of people lined up ready to purchase.
The trick is getting the word out, effectively. A
good preview
will have people foaming at the mouth and ready to simply throw their money at the company developing it. If you don't put out any previews at all, you can easily get lost in the shuffle, no matter how good you are.
Wonderful story. Varied gameplay. Vibrant world. Budget title in the space of a month.
Then there's the third option: completely whizzing it down your leg. Hey, any publicity is good publicity, right? Well, maybe, but don't forget gamers are vocal, vocal people, and they stick together. Once your "fail" is apparent, it will not be
forgotten easily.
So, we have a developer. Let's call them "Konami". They have a long-lasting, much-beloved series. A series which has earned them legitimacy amongst their peers. This series is known for its mature themes, its unique approach to psychological horror, and its dark, moody, depressing atmosphere. This is a series that produced some real gems in its infancy, but lately, it seems that the steam has been running out. A
misstep here
. An
ambiguity there
. And suddenly, it seems that the
future of the series
is a little rocky.
But the teat cannot be considered completely dry just yet, can it? Weren't the early Silent Hills some of the most renowned games of their generation? The answer, of course, is simple. Remake the best of the series and release to a whole new generation of gamers to bask in and enjoy. Of course, we don't exactly have the budget for a full remake, but it was just last generation, right? No need to go hog wild on massive upgrading costs. Let's just upgrade the graphics to HD and it should be sufficient. Oh, and crap, we
owe residuals to that guy who did James.
Let's recast the voices.
And now we reach the crux of the subject:
That's right. Take a good long look. Taste it all.
So, the problem is obvious, right? Konami, in their infinite greediness and lack of respect for the old actors, got a few bums off the street, handed them a mic, and presto. Franchise suicide.
Or is it really that simple?
Well, let's put aside two things for this article. One: whether the remake
have been done in the first place. That's a discussion on the concept of remakes as a whole and what they mean for all of us. Really, that's a whole other article. Two: whether the voices should have been recast. The decision has obviously been made on that one. I imagine the initial idea was to keep it on the down-low, but former James actor Guy Cihi
saw to it that everyone would know about this from the get-go.
When his rather angry tweet came down that he would not be reprising his role, the cat was out of the bag and all of Konami's money issues came rushing out of the damn as if the Otherworld had taken them over.
So, with all that having happened in the past, let's take a look at this preview as it stands alone in the present and see where the problems are. I spot three big ones.
#1: The overall tone of the preview: Placation
Remember earlier in the year when Congressman Anthony Weiner was outed for his practices of suggestively tweeting younger women? Remember at the close of it all when, instead of immediately sinking into obscurity, he tried to placate the masses with a heartfelt speech regarding his departure from Congress and his desire to seek rehabilitation? Remember how we all forgave him and wished him well in his endeavors?
Not pictured: Nobody buying it.
The point is that the entire tone of this preview is basically saying, "It's not as bad you think it is." When you go out of the gate admitting there's a concern, you've already put yourself in a bad position: beneath the crushing press of those who believe you're talking out of your ass. In the case of this game, now viewers think the problem may be even worse because the developers themselves have taken the time to address it publicly and have given credence to even the most loony of critics.
It's another step worse in this case because they've even given us a talking head (more on him in a second) directly addressing the issue. It's one thing when you respond to the concern, but if you're going to have one of the members of the dev team live and speaking directly about the problem, the problem becomes all more real.
#2: Senior Associate Producer: Tomm Hulett
Putting aside the mystery of why Mr. Hulett felt the need to personally address viewers, let's talk about his performance in this preview, specifically. He seems a bit off. Nervous perhaps. Stumbling over his lines with awkward delivery. But it doesn't matter that much, right? I mean, he's not an actor, so he doesn't have to sound like Patrick Stewart if the important part is the game footage that follows, right?
Unfortunately, any public speaking professor will tell you that that's just not true. The idea of an opening address is to get your audience's attention as well as set the mood for everything that's to follow. In this case, putting across a lack of confidence will only instill that feeling into your audience as they continue to watch what you've put together.
Oh, and one more important thing. This is a preview about
. When the first "actor" is the worst performance of them all, everyone else who follows will be brought down by it, even if they're Shakespearean in training.
#3: The actual watered-down presentation
It may seem as if I've been dancing around what everyone feels is the real issue here, that horrible series of cutscene vignettes with the new audio layered over it. Honestly, I'm not going to defend this presentation. It's horrible. It looks horrible. It sounds horrible. The question is: why?
The easy target is the actors. Obviously, that's what has changed from the original, so that must be the cause, right? Oh, if only the process were that simple. Sound in video games (and in any media) is a vastly complex process that the actors are only a small part of.
Let me state the bottom line from the beginning here: this is not finalized audio. Listen to it again. There's no echo. There's no mixing, no layering, none of all that other sound-related jargon that I can't think of at the moment (Fuzzying? Graining?) Heck, not even the background music has been inserted. It sounds like the voices are coming from a studio recording, and that's exactly what it is. The makers of this preview have taken recordings straight from the studio, plopped them onto the corresponding video, and called it a day.
This is obviously the greatest sin of this preview. In an effort to show that the voices will be nothing to worry about, they have done the exact opposite. They've taken their foundations and passed it off as a completed structure. They've given us a sandwich with nothing but bread.
And it's a shame, too, because, as Mr. Hulett stated, the ADR director for this project is Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who has been directing for more than a decade and acting for even longer. I couldn't begin to list her many roles in acting, but I will mention she did the ADR direction on Cowboy Bebop and even the recent Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. In short, she's a damn professional, and the makers of this preview treating her work like this is a travesty.
So, here we are. A proper cow flop of a preview with the blame completely misaimed. Still, I refuse to have this entire article be doom and gloom, so perhaps I could offer some fan-based advice as to how this all could have been averted, and I mean besides the obvious of "submit finalized audio". I realize that hindsight is 20/20, but bear with me, because I think this could help in the future.
If possible, make light of the situation.
Also known as the "Diablo 3" maneuver. I'm sure we all remember the big hooplah surrounding Diablo 3 accused of "being too colorful", and Blizzard's perfectly apt response. Not only does Blizzard get points for being self-deprecating, but it makes the complainers look like whiners and tools.
Blizzard to whiners: Suck on our pink.
When I saw
Jim Sterling's response
to the preview, I thought it was, to be kind, somewhat lacking in professionalism (sorry, Jim, can't win 'em all). The crazy thing is that if I saw it coming from the developers themselves, it would come across as cutting and self-aware. If Mr. Hulett had taken a few hours out of his day to "herp" and "derp" over the video, and yet introduced it straight faced, he would have had biting satire, and a chance at a much better response than what we have here.
If making light isn't possible, try to sweep it under the rug to bring up later.
This seems a bit underhanded, but from a business standpoint, sometimes pretending there isn't a problem is a decent method to getting people to forget about it, especially considering the title in this case is still months away. Make your trailer introducing the acting some ways down the line and don't make the entire trailer about it. Just make sure you
it. There is a risk taken here, though, because gamers have rather long memories.
don't placate
Have actors introduce acting. Heck, introduce them, period.
Here's a fine example
of actors being the ones to tell you about their experiences recording, and in this preview's case, it may have beehooved them to call up Ms. McGlynn and have her introduce it. She's beautiful, speaks well, and is quite charming. Also, since she's actually connected to the process, she can explain what you're about to see better than a producer.
I could be convinced turning James into a howler monkey is a good idea if it came from that voice.
To the second point, tell us who the actors are and maybe we'll feel even a tiny bit better about the production. Voice acting has become a big business since games went to CD, and in the last decade, a large stable of names have assembled that are synonymous with talent. To put it another way, they didn't identify any of the actors in that preview, yet from hearing them so many times, I was able to pick out Ms. McGlynn herself as Mary and Maria, and I'm pretty sure that's Troy Baker as James. Obviously, both very talented people, and worth the name recognition.
Remember why people love your game/series, and play to that, instead of focusing on minutiae.
This is the overriding bit of advice from this experience, and honestly, it seems like Konami's missing the boat on this one where Silent Hill is concerned, especially if the new game's announcement is to be taken seriously. Gamers have said time and again why they like Silent Hill: the story, the atmosphere, the overall feeling of loneliness, despair, and personal fear. It's not the combat, or the quality of the graphics, and it's certainly not the voice acting.
Consider the performances you got with the original cast of Silent Hill 2. That game is still being held as the best of the series despite nearly being the one with the worst voice acting (Silent Hill 1 being the reigning king of that).
Also, consider something you
change: the visual models. They're as big of a mess as they were from the original release with overstated gestures, smiles that look more creepy than sexy, and, just... Eddie.
Geez, with that face, how could James NOT fall for her?
Acting is a combination of both the visual and audio presentation, and quite frankly, I can't imagine even the best performance looks good next to those visuals. So, if you're going to introduce the voice acting, maybe you shouldn't even be
the visuals. Just give us audio over
production stills, or something to that effect.
So, another day in the saga of the Silent Hill series closes with them digging themselves further into a trench, and the worst part is that this could have all been avoided. I hate to be the guy to say it, because it does sound kind of entitled, but it's really worth it to remember your fans, and why they got into this. That's the best way to keep them, and it gives
credibility as they try to talk up your greatest accomplishments to a new generation.
Heck, even just throwing them a bone with something they always liked may be enough.
On second thought, never mind. You don't seem to be any good at that, either.

I write. Game guides, mostly. Check GameFAQs for my name if you'd like to see what I've worked on.
I grew up a pretty diehard Nintendo fan, then I actually grew up and have discarded such connection to labels. I currently own a Wii, 3DS, PS3, and a respectable quality PC.
People in the industry I respect are Shigeru Miyamoto, the late Gunpei Yokoi, Eiji Aonuma, Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu, Shoji Meguro (and most of the Atlus Persona team), Ron Gilbert, Tim Schaffer, Gabe Newell (and the rest of Valve), Jeff Portnow, Jeff Gerstmann (and the rest of GiantBomb), Yahtzee Croshaw, and probably a bunch of other guys who I can't think of as I write this.
I enjoy a decent hodgepodge of games. Action adventures, JRPGs, games that try something new and different, puzzle games, story-heavy games, and a few FPSes. Although I've found it tough to get into online multiplayer games, I'm not at all against trying to change that.
Outside of games, I enjoy TV, movies, anime, and music. For TV, shows that try something new, particularly in a sci-fi or comedic aspect, appeal to me, which is why my #1 show of all time remains Mystery Science Theater 3000. Movies, same deal, only I also have a taste for *bad* movies (as my love of MST3K will attest). Anime I've cooled off on a bit since college, but I still respect the medium and have favorites even among new stuff. For music, I love video game based music and instrumental, and I currently play flute in a local community band.
As a final note, I'd like to say that I was taken into the fold of this community at PAX'10 by two of my friends from college who are members in good standing. On the first night of PAX, I went drinking with several members of this community, and I'm happy to say I became an inductee because of it.

Undersize Bathroom Sink Fred from Stratford, PE on 04/14/2014 – Verified Buyer
Item was designed without a overflow channel and I didn't anticipate this or was it obvious from the photos and information contained on the website describing the item . The ;product arrived in good condition, and I upon seeing it for the first time, realized there was a problem. I had much difficulty finding a drain assemble to accommodate the sink without the overflow. Had I known this issue when ordering the item I would have questioned your company re: supplying a proper drain assembly with the sink.

Tiny sink. Kathy from New York, NY on 10/15/2014 – Verified Buyer
I needed something for a very small space. This sink worked perfectly. It is designed for RV's, but my carpenter was able to make it work. You have to buy a special drain, just a heads up.

Small John from Florida on 03/03/2014 – Verified Buyer
I made a mistake when I ordered these sinks and they're a lot smaller than I thought they were going to be, but we went ahead and used them anyways. The quality is pretty good for the price. I just really wish they were a little larger.

Small meets our needs, but.... Janet from Port Wing, WI on 07/25/2014 – Verified Buyer
This is a small sink which we needed to fit the space we are creating. It looks in the picture like a porcelain sink but I guess we didn't read the description well enough because it is fiberglass and quite light. We have not installed it yet so we don't know how it will hold up.
Was this helpful? Yes 0 No 0
Nice for the price Melissa from Dayton, OH on 04/27/2014 – Verified Buyer
I wasn't overly impressed with this sink. I understood it was acrylic when I bought it but I wasn't expecting it to be so thin. Other than that it looks good and serves the purpose, so I'm happy.

My daughter started Puddleducks Clapham in the summer of her second birthday, like most children she had a few settling in issues but the staff at Puddleducks supported both my daughter and I through this stage. Now my daughter runs into nursery, she loves joining in with all the activities, she has become more outgoing and her speech has come on leaps and bounds!!! My daughter always mentions her teacher, she can't wait to see her and always talks about her 'friends' sending my daughter to puddle ducks was the best decision I have ever made!!!

The Andalucia region
Situated south of Cadiz and the within the region of the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) and close to the coastline, Chiclana and La Barrosa are impressive tourist destination of beaches, forest and marshes. Located close to Jerez de Frontera Airport, tourists find it a must-see destination when they visit the province of Cadiz.
Inhabited by less than 100,000 residents, Chicana is home to Spain's best beaches. Spoiled by nature's bounty, this town also thrives on its agricultural produce. Wine of the best quality is produced in its cellars and its water has curative effects - "Spring of Fuente Amarga" as it is often called.
Their beaches are an expansive blanket of golden sand and Chiclana town square is littered with food shops, wine cellars, and markets. Chiclana town square is always bursting with activity: Fresh fruits and vegetables are sold everywhere, as well as meat and seafood's.
Chiclana town chiefly of Phoenician and Roman origins and traces back its economic development to the reign of monarchs Fernando and Isabel in the 14th century. Moorish tribes warring against the Christians were finally driven out of the land with Chiclana serving as frontier that divides the two opposing forces, thus the name "de la Frontera." Remnants of the Palaeolithic period bore traces on fossil remains that were recently discovered. The myth of Hercules who was said to dwell in this town continues to intrigue the locals and its visitors.
Economic growth started to flourish in this town upon the discovery of America with Cadiz becoming a centre of trade. During the 18th century, Chiclana reached the pinnacle of its economic development. Today, tourism plays a vital role in its economic viability.
Lush natural parks of Grazalema and Alcornovales are located near Chiclana. Medina Sidonia, Jerez de Frontera are its neighbors.
Most of age-old traditions and customs of Andalucia are still observed by the locals today: bull fights and flamenco dances are top favourites. Festivals are as normal as the air in Spain. Every Spanish town celebrates at least 5-6 annual celebrations: from fairs to dances. During these celebrations, you will see a glimpse of the town's and its people's heritage as it evolves through the years. When you visit in June, be prepared to see buntings, confetti, makeshift stalls everywhere including feria rides and fun games.
The beach of La Barrosa was a recipient of Clean Beaches Award. It stretches about 8 km. of white sand. Restaurants offer an array of good food with seafood at the top on its list. Want to play tennis? There is a tennis school at Pinar de Atlantico. You can enroll on a crash course, become a member of elite group Tennis Club la Barrosa and come home a pro! Novo Sancti Petri is a two-in-one tourist attraction by the sea. It has a beach and a 36-hole golf-course!
If you only have 3 days in Chiclana, these are just the places you must see first and it's as if you have the whole town in a nutshell. As the noise and laughter reverberate in the air, you will be absorbed by the fun and excitement. Very soon, you will have the feel of being in a truly Andalucian holiday. Other summer treats like the Fisherman's procession is worth the wait. Fishing villages of Sancti Petri and Playa de la Barrosa. You can surf, sail, scuba dive, promenade along beach or simply enjoy the views of the sea from the marina.
Known as the Seven Places of Magic, it is actually a route with seven stops to the most historical and beautiful places of the town.
Santa Ana watchtower was used as a frontier between the early inhabitants of Chiclana and the invading Vikings and Moors. La Loma de Puerco - A historical site where the Chiclana waged war against the troops of Napoleon in 1811. The Temple of Hercules - From here you can see the magic of nature as the sun slowly fades away just as close to where you stand! The Wetlands - This is where you get your best view of the Cadiz Nature Park Miralmar - Standing on top of this hill, you can see the Bay of Cadiz, the town of Conil, and all the surrounding towns close to Chiclana including the vastness of the sea. Due to its strategic location, it became an important site for Chiclana where to have a good look at her invaders. El Carrascal - You can see the neighbouring town of Medina Sidonia from here. La Espartosa - Where you can see the countryside the way it was in the past. Wide species of woods like the oak, the dark evergreen as well as olives can be found here.
Important diary dates: Feb - Mar : Carnival, Mar - Apr : Holy Week, June ; Feria and the Feast of San Antonio, June : San Juan Bonfire Night, July : Feast of the Virgin del Carmen Atunera, July : Feast,of Santa Ana, Sep : Feast of Virgin de los Remedios, patron Saint of Chiclana.

text: Basic but clean. Great location, you can easily walk into the city centre.The pool is an added bonus. Breakfast is overpriced, at £13.95 a head and it's not very nice. Walk into town and go to Patisserie Valerie instead. No complaints really, you get what you pay for. We will stay again for a short stopover.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Had the best time at this hotel. Great walk to the center, safe location, staff was wonderful. Laundry facility is just down the road. They always answered our questions. Was not loud at all. The balcony was the best part. I would stay again.
Booked last minute when travel plans changed. Accommodations were clean and reasonably priced. A light breakfast was included in the price. Be prepared to haul luggage up stairs - which was "literally" a pain. Would stay again.
We fell on this place while finding our way through Tuscany. I can't believe how we found such an amazing place. Great hotel; amazing staff that speaks fluent English. The spa here is the best I've been to in Italy... In Europe now that I think about it. It really is a stunning Palazzo in a stunning little village. The...
The hotel has three major pulls. It is walking distance from all of the major attractions in Florence, It is reasonably priced for its location, and the staff are some of the most hospitable people in Florence. The rooms are sparse yet spacious, and they do get hot without air conditioning, but it cools down substantially at night. The hotel...
We stayed here during a very warm time in Florence and the lack of air conditioning was a huge disadvantage. We thought that opening the windows late in the evening would help, but after seeing 3 or 4 mosquitos shortly after opening them, that idea was thrown out. The room furnishings reminded me of a college dorm. The shower stall...
-Very good breakfast;
-Friendly personel;
-Secure location;
-Clean hotel;
-Close to some good value restaurants for a quick meal.
The room had noisy beds.
Would gladly recommend to friends
Review collected in partnership with this hotel
I liked this little hotel. It was easy walking distance to the center and had an elevator, which is so much nicer than lugging bags up stairs. There was a pretty, little breakfast area that also offered beverages in off hours. Our room was simple but spacious and included a heated towel rack. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating....
I was only here one night before travelling to Rome and I booked thinking it would be an easy walk from the train station. It probably is, but not when you're dragging two large suitcases down cobbled roadways! That is my error though, and 25 mins later I finally got myself there.
This is a budget hotel and the room...
The hotel is quite close to the center, the prices are reasonable. Breakfast was very good. Our room was very big because situated on the last floor. The best thing about this hotel is the owner that is one of the nicest people I've met in a long time, very helpful, always with a smile and always there when we...
This hotel does NOT have A/C!
There were mosquitos in our room.
The only good thing is the location. Location is very good. Close to Santa maria Novella Train station.
The man who works at the hotel is rude and have no diplomacy at all.
Dear Mr. Leonardo,
I remember You and Your wife very well.
We are very surprised to receive a review showing our staff as "rude" while our Hotel's staff is very well known for the HELPFUL and KINDNESS
Therefore, I have to rember You and to all of T.A. Readers how as they went the facts really
I remember that You...
Is there elevator access to the third and fourth floors?

For the second straight day, the Blue Jays won an elimination game in Texas.

Jeff Banister wanted to make one thing clear: the Toronto Blue Jays are a very good team that's tough to beat. and if you make it a little easier for them to defeat you, they will.
10/12/2015 | Rangers hitters don't feast on home cooking

10/12/2015 | Jays aim to stay hot in Texas, send ALDS back home
The temperature rose dramatically when the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers arrived in Arlington to continue their American League Division Series. The intensity climbed along with it. It was 93 degrees when Game 3 started at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, and it should be even steamier when Game 4 begins at 4 p.m. ET on Monday afternoon. And the fact that there will even be a Game 4 in this best-of-five series? Well, that's the hottest topic of all.
10/11/2015 | Blue Jays-Rangers ALDS Game 3: DYK?
The Blue Jays, down 2-0 in the best-of-five American League Division Series, kept their season alive on Sunday night with a 5-1 win over the Rangers at Globe Life Park. Here are some other notable facts and figures from Sunday's game.

10/11/2015 | Half measure: Blue Jays cut Texas' ALDS lead
Troy Tulowitzki's three-run home run and right-hander Marco Estrada's excellent pitching performance kept the Blue Jays alive in the best-of-five American League Division Series, preventing the Rangers' potential celebration on Sunday night.

10/10/2015 | Hamilton, Fielder are Rangers' sleeping giants

It's been a while since I wrote about my skincare products. Been using THEFACESHOP ones I bought last year and it's been a couple of months since I'm out of them. I decided not to go re-purchase because even though they're good, I think I'd want to look for cheaper options.
By the way, these are my second bottles.
So first I found this local (Malaysia), cruelty-free, organic and totally halal product from a company called Good Virtues Co.
It was on display outside of Watson's and the beautiful packaging made me fall in love. Didn't purchase it immediately. Kept in view for a while while I finished the rest of my products.
The ingredients are made of Black Seed, which is a seed mentioned in the Quran. When I was in America for Sufi School few years back my last class (Prophetic Medicine) was up in a hut on stilts in the forest and we were taught about this plant.
The school was literally on a valley in Pope Valley (duh) and the classroom was somewhere behind the cabins you'd have to climb even more. It was cool.
Anyway I opened this plant, taught how to feel it with my heart etc etc Sufi stuff so I know the blessings and goodness that comes with this.
Catchphrase for this brand? Love, Peace, Joy.
My life goal which I adapted from Sufi School? Love, Peace, Mercy.
Now these are on my bathroom shelf!
The first thing I tried was the shampoo and conditioner. It worked so well, my hair fall went from perhaps 10 in a finger-comb to none. I was so happy, I went on to purchase my second bottle.
Sadly, the second bottle didn't go as well as the first. Finger-combing my hair brings back ten strands of hair in return. For about two weeks I used my mother's ginseng shampoo and it strengthened my hair while I wait for a response from Good Virtues Co. I wrote to them about what I experienced using their product – I really was happy with their first bottle but what happened, right? It was a feedback. Like I've read at my brother's barber shop somewhere: IF you're happy with my business, tell others. If you're not, tell me.
As an apology (I don't think it's their fault) they sent me an exact same shampoo, a feminine wash and a body wash. I haven't used the new bottle of shampoo. But I think it's not the shampoo that's caused all these but it's me. Maybe my body repels organic. I don't know, but I'm going to keep using it.
Not too crazy about the feminine wash but I absolutely love the body wash: anti-bacterial and hydrating. Online they're having a sale where the scrub, the huge bottle of shower and hand lotion is only RM38. Got them today, haven't got the chance to try it yet. I'm not at home and at home there's no internet. It's like I live in the 1990s.
For good virtues (pun), cruelty-free, organic, local, very affordable, halal, and great customer service I recommend you to : BUY.
I showed you my bathroom shelf, now I'm showing you my dressing table! It's almost empty because I've reduced my skincare from so so so many bottles to only four per day/night.
For now this lazy girl has ~improvised~ her daily skincare regime:
1) Wash face with Garden of Eden Milk Cleanser
2) Bubble face with a random foam face wash from THEFACESHOP
3) Tone skin with a random toner
4) ………….
….these! Garden of Eden serums! These are also my second set of bottles. Loving them so far. Good Virtues Co. have their own series of skincare too, but I haven't read a review about it to be confident enough to put it on my face.
It's lightweight oil and I have no problem with putting oil on my face. Understand the logic that like repels like so oil is able to remove the oil in my pores.
They seem to have really good reviews, are local and on one I saw on the milk cleanser bottle that it's cruelty-free. The serums didn't write this though. Hmm…
These days I find myself sold at things that say "pigmentation" and "anti-aging". I look really old lol that I need things to make me look my age!!!
Here are my areas of concern:
1) The two sun spots/pigmentation/whatever it's called
2) The lines under my eyes
3) The darkness under my eyes.
Anything you know that has worked super well?
aaaaaaaaand I'm done!

Seattle cops to deal Doritos and information at Hempfest
Seattle cops to deal Doritos and information at Hempfest
Theyãre calling it ãOperation Orange Fingers.ã Really.
Seattle police will hand out bags of Doritos at Hempfest on Saturday.
Police department spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb confirmed the unusual duty, saying he and other officers will distribute one-ounce bags of nacho-cheese chips with educational information affixed to them about the stateãs new legal pot law.
The bags also will contain a label with a link to the departmentãs ãMarijwhatnowã FAQ, which explains that, yes, adults are now allowed to possess up to an ounce of weed, and that, no, you canãt get back the pot that cops might have seized before voters legalized recreational weed in last Novemberãs election.
ãA lot of people still have questions about the nuances of the law and 2013 is a year very much in transition for people who enjoy pot,ã Whitcomb said.
Police are having some fun with the assignment.
ãPlease ignore maliciously false reports that weãre giving out Bugles at @seattlehempfest. We would never, ever do that,ã the department tweeted Wednesday.
Operation Orange Fingers will be funded by the private Seattle Police Foundation, Whitcomb said.
The department expects to give out just 1,000 bags of chips, Whitcomb said. Thatãs likely to lead to some ãDude, whereãs my Doritos?ã queries from the 250,000 folks expected to attend the three-day, pro-pot event this weekend at Myrtle Edwards Park on the Seattle waterfront near Belltown.
The idea is not to cure the munchies, Whitcomb said, but ãto pique their curiosity and get them to go to our FAQ.ã
Kidding aside, Whitcomb said police will enforce aspects of the new law at Hempfest. He said they would bust minors for consuming in public, which is a misdemeanor. And he said they would bust people dealing pot, which is a felony.
Under the new law, only state-licensed stores can sell pot.
Because itãs still illegal to consume pot in public, Whitcomb said, officers will give warnings to adults they encounter getting high at Hempfest.
Thatãs not to say people should expect a ãtask force of undercover officers to infiltrate Hempfest,ã he said.
But minors ãcan expect enforcement,ã he said, because ãitãs a big deal.ã
Some officers donãt even want to wade into Hempfest, Whitcomb said, because theyãre concerned about breathing in secondhand smoke and testing positive for pot.
Despite the state law, Seattle officers canãt use pot off-duty because marijuana use remains a federal violation and cops take an oath to uphold federal law, he said.
But officers would respond to any emergency, need or request for services, he said.
Whitcomb will speak about the departmentãs pot policies from Hempfestãs main stage Saturday at 2:50 p.m.
ãThe much-coveted 4:20 spot had gone to someone else,ã he said.
Bob Young: 206-464-2174 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Only a stoner would get that idea; to call the police and ask if confiscated pot could be handed back to them... one ounce at a time. lol.
This is a cool gesture of the police dept though... one ounce Dorito bags... the light hearted humor is great to see!!!
and that, no, you canãt get back the pot that cops might have seized before voters legalized recreational weed in last Novemberãs election.
(btw, nice avatar)
Now if only the rest of the states..the country..would catch up.
They ran out in like 15 minutes, LOL! I was dying laughing watching the news Saturday night when they ran this bit.
This is one of the bags. I think it was a really cool way to remind people of the laws.
They should give out healthy snacks instead of Doritos.
I'm certain it was. It would be an appropriate use of community outreach or prevention dollars.
Quoting TimetoMomUp:
Was this paid for with tax money?
Doritos would actually be eaten by the stoners.
Quoting UpSheRises:
They should give out healthy snacks instead of Doritos.
