My daughter is 15 and I have had physical custody since she was 4. Her father (the NCP) has a lenghty criminal arrest record, and is currently being indicted for Attempted Burglary. He has a history of drug and alcohol abuse problems, and has been diagnosed with "Mental Health Issues". He has been in and out of jail, and rehabs, mainly to satisfy the courts, but apparently has learned nothing. We are not legally seperated, just do not live together due to all of his problems.
My custody papers state that he is not allowed to be in my daughters presence while under the influence, and he has come to my home on several occasions to visit with her while under the influence, and I refused to allow him to see her.
Can I take all visitation away if my daughter does not want to see him ?

Help support your MeetupChip in
This group was created to help you fulfill items on your "Bucket", "Things to do", "Things to Try" or "Things you should know" lists. We have all things we want to do or try, but no one wants to do these things alone.
Join this group and create your list. We will then do our best to match you up with people to share these accomplishments with.
Life is a choice. We all have abilities we can do and abilities we can't or dont know how. Ask yourself... Do you want to go through life using your "inabilities"/"inexperience" as an excuse not to do them or the reason why you should? If you can't sing, you can use it as an excuse to never try karaoke or maybe it's the reason why you should pick up the mic. If you can't swim are you going to use it as an excuse to never get in the deep end or are you going to use it as the reason why you should jump in and start treading water?
It's your choice.. Do you want your life to be an excuse to not live it or do you want it to be the reason to experience your life to it's fullest?
The concept of this Meetup is simple... It's all about YOU, your life, your dreams, your accomplishments!!!
Please suggest meetups for things you want to do/try. People will join in to help you check it off your list! Please RSVP for existing events that you want to do/try.
I can tell you by personal experience that checking something off your bucket list is great,
but riding shotgun on someone elses dream is even better!!!!
You will be the person that someone will always remember because you will be the person that helps them complete a full circle in their life.
If you don't think you can do this or lack self-confidence what better way to build confidence and knock "organization"/"public speaking"/"helping others" off your own bucket list!!
Examples of Bucketlist items
1) Rock Climbing
2) Camping (Cabin, Tent, Water/Electricity, Water Only, Primitive)
3) Skiing/Snowboarding
4) Karaoke
5) All different styles of Dance
6) All different types of Ethnic Foods
7) Jetski, Tubing, Water Sports
8) Speed Dating
9) 5k, 10k, 20k, etc. Walk or Run, it doesn't matter
10) Paintball
11) Host a Meetup Event :)
12) Ice Skate
13) Roller Skate
14) Try to Learn to play a musical instrument
15) Ziplining
You get the idea! So start suggesting events and start marking items off your list!

Taxis, Skopje
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
When I was originally looking to get from the Skopje airport to Bitola, I was going to take a taxi from the airport to the bus station in Skopje and then a bus to Bitola. Everyone told me that there were no buses or trains from the airport to the bus station or city center and to expect a 20€ taxi ride which matches what it says on the airport's website listed below. It appears that they are regulated and a fixed price.
The organized of Euromeet ended up arranging a private driver so we didn't need to do the taxi/bus route.
There were really no hotels near the bus station so we booked the closest decent hotel I could find but we still had to use a taxi to get to and from the station. The 1st guy we asked said it was 200MKD ($5US), this seemed like a lot so we found another driver who said it was 2€ ($3 US). Probably still a little high but really $3 for a taxi ride, it's too small to quibble over. I suppose you could take your chances with a meter but I prefer to know upfront how much I'll be paying.
If you're visiting here, you'll realize that almost all are walking distances. At least everything there is to see is in the center or at a walking distance. You would need some "help" in case you'd like to go to Matka or St Pantelejmon, the monastery.
I suggest cabs/taxis... Yes, I also put it as a trap, but if you learn couple of Macedonian expressions and also if you're careful about the cab that you get into - it really isn't expensive.
The best option is to choose legitimate companies (my favourite is Nase Taxi, yellow ones, distinctly marked and always a great option). You can always call them from a hotel (usually have toll-free numbers which start with 151 and then have two extra digits, depending on the company. For instance, Nashe Taxi is 15152). or... when you learn what their cars look like, you'll recognize them on the street.
We've been in Skopje for over a month working here. We found a great taxi service and driver. He speaks English fluently, and has been very helpful to us with everything that we've tried to do here. We pay him a weekly fee, and he picks us up at a regularly scheduled time for work. We also call him when we want to go out to a restaurant or sight-seeing. It's been a real relief to have someone that we can rely on for transporation and information. He also makes trips to and from the airport. The service is Yello Taxi Cab 13. The driver's name is Dragan Todorovski. firstname.lastname@example.com and the phone is 071 211 471 He has been a great guy!
Due to MANY Taxi drivers and companies which haye abnormal prices of driving for example from airport to the center of Skopje 20 EUR....
I will reccomend one taxi driver with reasonable price for example from airport to center of Skopje for 13 EUR
His name is Zoran Toševski mobile phone :00389 70 258 022, and he will help you with questions about restaurants,places to go and etc.
If you want to go somewhere, and don't know how to get there, take a taxi !! At the time of writing, a standard trip within towns costs 50 MKD ( 1 Euro). If you are stuck in traffic, or going on a slightly longer trip within town, it can of course be more. Make sure your taxi has a meter, and the rest is simple. Most of the taxi companies have a phone (02)-91##. I use 9177 because the dispatcher speaks english and they have never told me that they don't have a car available !!
Cabs are very inexpensive. Most of the fares around town cost 50-100 Dinar, or about $1. About half the drivers speak english. If you're like me, you'll have to repeat yourself several times to get where you want to go. My pronunciation of Macedonian is terrible.
There are public buses running though the city, but I recommend taxi as it is pretty cheap, faster and more comfortable. A taxi ride from the Continental Hotel to the center, which takes you about 5 minutes is 50 Denar or about 80 cents. All interesting spots can then be visited by walking and no transportation is required. If you come by plane you can also easily catch a cab to the town for about 10 – 15 bucks.

Revealed: How scientists captured the elusive Kraken giant squid on film for the very first time
For the first time video footage of a giant squid in its natural habitat has been captured by scientists hundreds of meters below the waves after a daring mission previously coursed only by failure.
Now the scientists responsible for capturing this startling footage of a deep-sea creature with eyes the size of dinner plates and rows of razor-toothed tentacles have revealed their six-week expedition where others previously failed.
In 2006 scientists with the Discovery Channel and Japanese TV company NHK first began plotting their mission after scientist Tsunemi Kubodera captured the first ever photographs of the creatures off Japan's Ogasawara Islands that same year.
Scroll down for video
A secret giant: A giant squid is seen here for the first time on video in its natural habitat, hundreds of meters below the waves off the coast of Japan
Challenge: Scientists with the Discovery Channel and Japanese TV company NHK first began plotting their mission to capture this creature in 2006, a feat that had been widely attempted before
But after continuous failure by other organizations to do the same in either video or photographs, few offered little assistance for a repeat attempt, especially in funding.
Entered American billionaire Ray Dalio who offered them use of his 56-meter yacht, Alucia, along with a fully equipped research vessel described as 'the sexiest, most contemporary deep submersible that money can buy,' the Verge reports of its manufacturers.
On June 22nd of 2012, the first of 55 underwater trips began putting the brave divers - including Kubodera himself - at a maximum depth of 1,000 meters beneath the waves, 550 miles south of Tokyo.
Inside three passengers of a scientist, photographer and a pilot peered into the darkness for eight to 10 hours at a time hoping for other signs of life, of the giant variety.
Explorers: This submarine, loaned to the group of scientists by American billionaire Ray Dalio, allowed three passengers at a time to explore the frigid darkness for eight to 10 hours at a time
Attraction: One of the methods in trying to draw the squid to their cameras was the spray of a cocktail of squid pheromones into the water, as seen here, to attract adult squid
Firsts: The men onboard here react happily to seeing a smaller squid floating around outside their front window
- Scientific name: Architeuthis
- Mythology has given it names of the Kraken and the Scylla
- Believed to be solitary creature
- Can grow up to 40 feet from end to end and weigh up to 610 pounds
- There is evidence of a larger squid called the colossal squid
- One of the largest predator is the sperm whale whose think 35 centimeter skin (thickest of any animal) has been seen cut by the squids' razor-sharp suckers
- Only 5% of the ocean is said to be explored
With still much to be learned about the creatures, all scientists involved expressed different theories on how to attract one to their cameras.
One scientist, American oceanographer Edie Widder who specializes in bioluminescence, used light as a method during their dives.
Hanging flashing LEDS as bait, Widder hoped to mimic the light emitted from deep-sea jellyfish called atolla.
When threatened by a predator, the small jellyfish releases glowing chemicals like the LED lights which she has previously seen attract squid who hope to eat the jellyfish's much larger predator.
'You've got this small thing lighting up because this medium sized thing is munching on it, and the goal of the small thing is to get away from what's eating it,' she told the Verge.
Second Kiwi marine biologist Steve O'Shea combined light, noise and a cocktail of giant squid pheromones sprayed in the water, reasoning: 'I firmly believe that these squid don't give a damn about light or sound.'
Room to grow: One of the smaller squid drifts by before their cameras while the larger ones can grow up to 40 feet from end to end and weigh up to 610 pounds
But the third scientist's theory, Kubodera of Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science, proved to be successful - or at least for now coincidentally applied at the right time.
Kubodera turned off all lights and electronics - including the temperature controls inside - slipping the submarine stealthily through the otherwise pitch-black water around them.
In the beginning they saw only smaller squid bobbling about in the water around them. Then on July 10, their luck all changed.
With cameras tentatively aimed at a diamond squid placed as bait before them, out of the black, a giant squid slowly approached them.
The entire crew, both captivated and cautious, sat quietly as they watched the squid perform exactly the same way as them.
Weapon: A sucker taken from a giant squid is seen here, showing its sharp teeth lining all around it
Predator: The largest predator of giant squid are sperm whales which have been seen with marks from the squids' suckers on their thick hide after attacks, as seen under its eye here
The squid was described as 'sitting there for the most of 18 minutes looking beautiful,' by O'Shea.
'All I felt was overjoyed,' he later said of their monumental feat according to The Verge. 'It had now been done. We can now relax. We can now move on.'
The first video footage of this elusive
creature, capable of growing up to 40ft from end to end and weighing
610lbs, is set to air on the Discovery Channel this Sunday on program, Monster Squid: The Giant is Real.

Rwanda Things to Do
Virunga National Park
This is, without doubt, the visit número uno in Rwanda!Since I had no money enough to pay for the visit to the gorillas, I did not go, but it is my intention to travel again to Rwanda and that time I will go to Viringa.more
Sightseeing with an Extraordinary...
In Greek Mythology, "Apollo" is the god of knowledge, light, and sun who lives on Mount Olympus. In Rwandan lore, "Appolo," the driver, the tourist guide, the coachman, and the man … is legendary. Appolo is a man highly regarded in and around Rwanda, indeed almost mythical. Upon entering Rwanda, I kept hearing the name "Appolo," spoken each time...more
Gisakura reception office for chimp...
There are a couple of starting points for chimp trekking in Nyungwe, depending on which habituated group you're hoping to encounter.We started from the Gisakura reception office, which is located a couple of hundred metres off the main road. The office is located adjacent to the basic but comfortable Gisakura Guest House - the only budget...more
Want to see the Gorillas on the DRC (cheaper) side?Emmanuel Munganga Rufubya is an excellent and economic local guide. I first met him across the border in Rwanda, Hi literally walked me across the border and helped me avoid being strip searched and/or having all my examined item by item by the DRC authorities. Other people were not that lucky....more
Surprisingly interesting royal palaces...
In all honesty, I didn't arrive the Royal Palace at Rukali with great expectations - maybe because we'd just fallen off a red eye flight from Burundi, possibly because it was tipping rain and probably because the museum in Butare was the standout item in our day's itinerary - which is probably why I had such an unexpectedly good time.Nyanza was...more
Spotting the sunbirds
Sunbirds in Africa occupy the same ecological niche as hummingbirds in the New World, and are every bit as exquisite and hyperactive.By far the best place we found to observe them in Rwanda was in the garden of the Gisakura Guest House in Nyungwe. I'm not sure whether it was just the time of year - as many of the bushes were in flower during our...more
Glorious view from the Ndaba Falls
The view out from the Ndaba Falls is possibly one of the most spectacular in a country where stunning vistas are ten a penny.Especially if you visit in the rainy season when visibility is at its best, you have a sense of being able to see forever.more
The beautiful Ndaba Falls
Our visit to the lovely Ndaba Falls (Chute de Ndaba) was a fortunate piece of happenstance because they hadn't featured on our radar when we were planning our trip, but which we came across mention of once we were on the road.If you're driving from eastwards from Kibuye towards Gitarama (which is counterintuitively the easiest way to get to...more
Beware of Akagera's baboon battalions
There are very few animals in God's creation that I dislike - but in the case of mosquitoes and baboons, I'll make notable exceptions. Mozzies for obvious reasons, and baboons because they are fierce and opportunistic scavengers that become so habituated to humans that they pose a menace.Having declare my bias, baboons do display fascinating group...more
Each viewpoint more spectacular than the...
I'l be honest: I can't even tell you where this is, except that it's somewhere on the road between Kibuye and Ruhengeri. However, that's exactly the point that I'm trying to make: Rwanda is such a spectacularly scenic country that it's no surprise that it's known as 'The Switzerland of Africa'. Actually, as we discovered, that's not the only...more
Surprisingly good gamespotting in...
It was a miracle (and a curse) that we actually got to Akagera, since it had featured on our original itinerary, only to be culled when we realised that we'd bitten off more than we could chew - and then got reinstated due to a stuff up with our return flights.Having been faced with an unscheduled 17 hour delay in our return flights, rather than...more
The genocide memorial in Ruhengeri
The genocide memorial in Ruhengeri is a low key affair, located a couple of blocks off the main road. In fact, it's so low key, that it's possible to walk straight past unless you're specifically looking for it.The memorial is set in a small fenced garden with a gate and - in true Rwandan fashion - is kept in a neatly manicured state.Regardless of...more
How fit must you be to go chimp...
How fit do you need to be in order to go chimp trekking?Well, the slightly flippant anwer is, "Not as fit as you're going to have to be to trek gorillas" (as we discovered to our dismay a few days later), but what does that mean in practicality?We did chimp trekking in a forest remnant in Nyungwe National Park, and I am happy to report that the...more
Extraordinary harmony in Rwanda's...
Due to time pressures, we didn't get to spend very much time in churches during our time in Rwanda. This was a great pity, as some of the most important incidents of the genocide unfolded when terrified Tutsis sought refuge in churches - only to find that the maurauding Hutu hoards had no respect for either human life or the ancient tradition of...more
The Uwinka Reception Centre in Nyungwe
When you start to research a trip to Rwanda, you'll find that information on the Volcanoes National Park is readily available, whereas Nyungwe is usually mentioned as an afterthought. I'll admit that before we visited, I was a little nervous about what the state of the facilities in Nyungwe might be, but happily I shouldn't have been concerned. A...more
The amazing aerial walkway - just don't...
Canopy walkways are a ruinously expensive and high tech component of ecotourism, and not something that you'd expect to encounter in a country that's only just emerging from the trauma of a genocide ... but in this, as in so many other aspects, Rwanda continues to surprise and (positively) challenge tourists adventurous enough to explore this part...more
A topographic challenge to feeding a...
Rwanda is probably one of the hilliest countries that I've ever visited, and flat land is at an absolute premium. With a population density of 430.64 per square kilometre in 2010, Rwanda is the 29th most densely populated sovereign states in the world: bearing in mind that most of the more densely populated nations are city states such as...more
The terrific National Museum in Butare
As a general rule of thumb, museums aren't Africa's strong point, and more often than not, the ones you'll encounter will be dusty relics from the colonial era with dated presentation and yellowing labels.Even without this context of low expectation, the National Museum in Butare is an utter revelation. Like so much in Rwanda, it must have been...more
Chimp trekking is a rewarding pain in...
Let's start with the basics: chimp trekking is a literal pain in the neck, but worth it for the outcome!Your neck will hurt because, unlike gorillas, chimps are (relatively) light and nimble, so they nest in trees, rather than on the ground. And, again compared to their more peaceable primate cousins, they are excitable and mobile, neither of which...more
Chimps aren't the only primates you may...
The gorillas and the chimps are such well established megastars of Rwandan wildlife, that it's easy to overlook the fact that the rainforests of the Nyungwe and Volcanoes National Parks are home to many more species of primate.Nyungwe has an impressive eleven species of resident primate, which is a tally that you'll struggle to better in any other...more
Tea as far as the eye can see ...
I love tea. When there's tea on offer, my Irish heritage comes unapologetically to the fore, and I can happily consume mugs of the stuff all day long until it's beer o'clock.The area around Nyungwe is prime tea growing country, and the Gisakura Reception Office and Guest House abut the tea estate of the same name. Tea thrives in the same...more
Cattle so spoiled that they're...
I never thought that I'd get particularly excited by a herd of cattle in a paddock, but that was before I met the Ankole cattle at the Royal Palace in Rukali.Crude puns aside, these animals have the biggest horns I've ever seen in my life. Both males and females have horns, and once you realise the ceremonial significance of these beasts to the...more
Beautiful views from the exclusive...
Why am I reviewing the Virunga Lodge under the 'Things to Do' rather than the 'Accommodation' category? Simply because the rates for this exclusive hotel are such that we couldn't dream of staying here - but happily that did not preclude us from enjoying its charms for a couple of hours.The Virunga Lodge is less than half an hour's drive from...more
Hiking the watershed between Nile and...
The stunning Nyungwe National Park has many claims to fame, one of which is that it straddles the watershed between the Congo and Nile Basins.I freely admit to having staged this photo: Small Son had announced that he needed a wee stop, and so I asked him to hold on for a kilometre or two until we reached the catchment divide. He then elected to...more
Farming fish for a protein-deprived...
I've mentioned elsewhere that Rwanda has a phenomenally high population density, which, when combined with an acute shortage of flat flat enough for cultivation, makes it a challenge to grow enough food to feed its people.If it's difficult enough to grow crops to feed the nation, addressing the dire protein shortage in Rwanda is an even greater...more
Engorged rivers that were once choked...
Perhaps the most unnerving aspect of Rwanda's greenly serene and peaceful landscape is that it gives no hint of the horror that played out there less than two decades ago. An article I've randomly selected from the New York Times on 21 May 1994 says it all:"As many as 10,000 bodies from Rwanda's massacres have washed down the Kagera River into Lake...more
Refugee camps still remain from the...
Given that the Rwandan genocide took place in 1994, you could be forgiven for thinking that refugees would be a thing of the past.Unfortunately this is not so, and there are still camps in place which accommodate people displaced as a result of the conflict. This one is just south of Nyungwe in the south west of the country, and rather than being a...more
The dinky royal palace the Belgians...
In the 1930s, the Belgians agreed to build the Rwandan King a 'modern' palace befitting a modern African monarch.It's hard to imagine a less impressive royal palace, and the fact that it was apparently deemed acceptable suggests that the King was either easily pleased or had no conception of the splendour and scale of other royal residences in...more
Should we do the chimps or the gorillas?
Frankly, I never thought that I'd find myself trekking chimps.I was raised on the children's show, Daktari, including Clarence the cross-eyed lion and Judy the chimp (arguably the most natural actor in the entire hammy ensemble), but primates have never been a big deal for either myself nor my husband. But if you find yourself in the Great Lakes...more
The Kamiranzovu Marsh: the land that...
Of all the extraordinary places that we were lucky enough to visit on our trip to Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, this is the one that touched me most.The Kamiranzovu Marsh is a rare high altitude wetland that is located just to the west of Nyungwe's Uwinka Reception Centre. It's visible on the northern side of the road, although at the time of our...more
A bird's eye view of the rainforest...
Canopy walkways are splendid things. They are marvels of engineering. They give you a bird's eye view of the rainforest canopy. They maximise your chances of viewing both birds and primates. They give you a unique perspective on the ecosystem. They offer great photographic oportunities. They challenge your boundaries.And they scare the living...more
Kivu: the beautiful belching lake
Lake Kivu lies on the far western edge of Rwanda, and forms over half of the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Chances are that if you're looking at a map of Rwanda (which is how we always start our travel planning), this large expanse of blue will be the first feature that catches your eye, and it was a place that I immediately...more
The most beautiful lake of the Albertine...
Lake Kivu is exquisitely beautiful, and exceeded even the impossibly high expectations that I had based on the photos I'd seen whilst researching our trip. For me, it is by far the most gorgeous of the chain of lakes in the Albertine Rift, which is quite something, as they are all very impressive.What sets Lake Kivu apart from the others is that -...more
A view to die for in glorious Kibuye
Kibuye is a beautifully located town, about half way up the eastern shore of Lake Kivu. It's a straightforward and scenic 2.5 hour drive from Kigali, and, as a result, is a popular weekend destination.Kibuye has a laid back vibe, and a number of hotels situated along the lake shore, including Hotel Golfe Eden Rock, from whose terrace this photo was...more
Lovely views from Akagera over into...
The landscape of Rwanda's east is much gentler than the rest of the country, and is a precursor to the great East Africa plains of Tanzania and Kenya that lie beyond. It's pretty - rather than beautiful - but after a couple of weeks of unrelenting hills, I concede was almost a relief to see a bit of flat(tish) land!This photo is taken from the pool...more
Close encounters with crocs and hippos
There's a lot of water in Akagera, and if you have the time (which sadly we didn't), the boat trips are highly recommended. These can be organised via the ORTPN (National Parks Board) desk at the entry gate, or via the Akagera Safari Lodge if you're staying there.Akagera is famed for its enormous pods of hippo, and supersized crocodiles, and the...more
The last resting place of 250,000 people
250,000 people. That's a quarter of a million people.

Dissolution is a science fiction, single-player mod for Half-Life 2 that mixes adventure and action game-play. Set in the year 2089, in a universe dominated by a mega corporate entity, Xterrier, the player awakes in a hidden lab to the voice of the mysterious Wilson. Guided by Wilson, the player must make their way through the ravaged Xterrier 581c colony, making use of any and all resources they can get their hands on in order to survive, all the while attempting to piece together the events leading to the colony's collapse and their own identity.

Although fights are boring and often unfair, and the map design is somewhat lacking, this mod shines through its atmosphere and story. While the story itself could easily be the plot of a B-Movie it is how this story is told and how much background info can be found throughout the mod that creates a densley packed atmosphere.
Apr 10th, 2011 0 people agree 1 person doesn't
Interesting concepts with some of the enemies, however the main part of the fighting sequences is terribly boring.
Mapping is also uninspired. Areas like the Monty Tallsticks should have been expanded upon to make the complex feel more unique in areas.
Apr 9th, 2011 0 people agree 0 people don't
This is uncomplete mod for me, because it's a pain in the *** to kill the enemies and is repetitive. U could add the last video, a surface of planet
Apr 3rd, 2011 6 people agree 6 people don't
I don't like to give or usually give out ones. I'm really sorry to the mod's creator, but this just isn't any good at all.
The mapping is full of unoptimized areas. I went outside the map out of sheer boredom in what I believe was the third level and found giant chunks of geometry and whole ROOMS with connecting hallways to the playing area that were unused. Why do that?
Models are either not-well designed [that bottle of...whatever it was that looked like toxic waste] or taken from the HD pack from Half-Life 1 [ALA that Beretta pistol], reskinned, and repositioned in the view model. Also, huge inconsistencies with the weapons. The enemies use the USP Match from HL2 while I use a Beretta? Why not just then make everything even?
Story had a HUGE exposition moment in the beginning [with the spinning planet where I could tell the camera was moving and pretty much nothing else aside from the rocket (trying to do that old Halo 1 trick)]. Once I saw that, I knew I was immediately in trouble, because I got BORED by it. I am always one for story over pretty much everything else, and I got bored by it? There's a huge problem right there.
Audio is complete nonsense. The voice acting is WAY over-the-top and unbelievable, almost borderline psychotic. There is almost no ambiance audio in any level. I had a hard time finding any music, if there even was any.
And to round this out, a lot of textures I found out were taken from Jailbreak!
Heavy disappointment and woe await those who play this mod. If you can even finish it [I got stuck after the first shoot-out/AI bludgeoning].

The story was shallow. The station had no windows and was a repetitive labyrinth of sterile, monotonous metal hallways devoid of any remarkable qualities. The characters were vacuous and 1 dimensional. The enemies were unexplained, uninspired, repetitive, and unbalanced. While some voice acting was average (with the exception of ALL minor characters, who sounded like they had speech impediments), the script was bland and predictable and offered no nuances from a bare-bones bio shock/system shock clone. Also (and this is not a spoiler) the mod just ends abruptly with no exposition or resolution.
As this criticism is intended to be constructive, I will include suggestions.
Level Design: Vary the lighting a little (Sconces, lanterns, flicker effects). Add windows. Add multiple levels, such as balconies, or observation windows to upper levels. Add more objects to the floor, to imply that humans inhabit the area. Everything felt like it was adjacent to everything else.
Script Writing: Try to make the characters less stereotypical.(Stereotypes include: The troubled visionary, the obsessive, perfectionist scientist, the political martyr, the narcissistic, delusional celebrity).
Pacing/Atmosphere: Enemies should be more intimidating. The citizens were not because the fact that they are demented is never depicted in the mod, or used as a plot device. Bio shock and system shock uses ominous graffiti, remnants of horrific, disturbing atrocities, and classic psychotic babbling to make the enemies horrifying.
Gameplay Balance: Source uses vector cones to simulate bullet spread. Widen those of the NPCs to the point at which they don't aim like hackers in Counter Strike.
PS: I think it is hilarious that the med-kits in this game are hard liquor. Your character would have lethal alcohol poisoning after consuming that many vending machines worth of the stuff, not to mention that he would be unconscious and completely incapable of combat after a few bottles.

Weak combat, interesting story. Occasionally unclear where you're supposed to go next, especially in the information verification department. Ultimately, worth playing.

BioShock ripoff for the story, bad level flow, unbalanced ennemies
Mar 8th, 2011 1 person agrees 1 person doesn't
Without any armor, makes the game a bit tough.
The citizens you fight against sure seem a bit tougher than your combine guards you would be fighting against in HL2 (obviously this isn't HL2, but just a comparison).
Definitely has the potential for replayability.
Very good mod, and worth the time to download it.
Mar 7th, 2011 1 person agrees 1 person doesn't
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the mod there were some area where it fell down. The environments were somewhat sparsely furnished and boxy in construction. Though there were some very good custom models these could have been further expanded. Some variety in enemy uniforms could have avoided all the enemies looking like spawning clones.
The mod did seem to borrow from a number of games both in terms of storyline and gameplay mechanic implementation. It was very Doom-esque with pull lever, move to point B, find keycard, use keycard progression. Playing on the train system was fun and reminiscent of HL1 though im split if the scenario reminded me more of Red Faction.
The storyline itself reminded me of Bioshock on numerous occasions of dystopian society, the antagonists mirrored a number of characters from that game. The scene with the painting npc reflected the speech with Anthony Ryan. There speaker ordering you acted in a similar vein to Atlas and the final character mimicked his omniscient view and urge for control and disregard for human life. The man with the painted face mirrored the theatrical boss and certain elements like the vending machines and health vials had an overwhelming similarity to the artdeco style employed by Bioshock. This could of course be mere coincidence.
I though the crows was a little underdeveloped as adversaries as they were somewhat overpowered and rarely encountered. I know they played into the story but those elements could have been expanded.
There were some borrowed element that worked very well. For me the Data Log System drove the back and side stories. Informing the player that there were remaining logs ensure they could grasp the full story which you were guiding them on also helped this mechanic but still allowing them to proceed ensure that the player wasn't forced to collect them was a good design choice.
Although it may seem I am being critical I thoroughly enjoyed playing this mod and recommend everyone to play i

While the idea is cool and the story is thought-out, it just is not very fun to play. Combat is sparse yet concentrated. All the levels feel extremely empty. It gets very boring after a while. And it takes forever to do anything it seems. Also the added sound effects are of poor quality and feel cheap. I didn't like it very much at all. 4/10 for effort.

I have a 3 yr. old (43 inches, 48 lbs.) in a Britax Marathon ('10 model). I also have a 5 yr. old (46 inches, 62 lbs.) in a Britax Frontier 85. We drive a 2012 Camry. Am I right in thinking that they have passed the LATCH weight limit and both car seats need to be installed using the top anchor and seat belt?
I am also looking for seats for the 2nd car (an 02 Subaru Impreza)which is rarely used but will be used more almost daily for the 3 yr. old during the winter. We have a Maestro in that car for the 3 yr. old. Is it still okay to harness him in it? If not what is a good alternative to keep him harnessed? He is nowhere near being mature enough to sit in a booster. We don't have a car seat in that car for the 5 yr. old. I'm thinking a HBB. Suggestions on this?

Checking accounts can be charged using checks, debit cards, or ATMs and are a good place to store money you want to spend and access.
While not all checking accounts will earn interest, savings accounts almost always do. Savings accounts are a good place for money you intend to hang on to for a while.
A certificate of deposit (CD) is an agreement between you and your bank that you will leave a specific sum of money in that account for a specific amount of time. At the end of the deposit period you will receive your money back with interest. These accounts generally have the highest interest rates, and the more money you deposit, and the longer you put it in for, the higher the interest rate will be.
Thrifthing is a great way to save on things you probably already buy. Below is a list of some of the thrift stores in the La Crosse area.

Are Oregon's defeats 'good losses?'
Say this for Oregon: at least the Ducks have only lost to teams likely to reach the NCAA Tournament in Vanderbilt, BYU and Virginia.
Compare that to some of the defeats by other Pac-12 teams. Washington is drubbed, at home, by South Dakota State. UCLA loses, at home, to Middle Tennessee State, and by 20 points. Arizona State, after beating North Dakota State on a last-second shot, falls to Northern Arizona. Utah loses … well, the Utes lose to about anybody, though they did beat Idaho State the other night.
So in the world of defeats, Oregon's are at least to quality teams. What the Ducks need to do now is at least keep that factor going as they play North Carolina Central, Prairie View A&M and Stephen F. Austin in three consecutive nights beginning Tuesday.
The Ducks had a halftime lead on Virginia, then faltered in the second half on Sunday: http://www.registerguard.com/web/sports/27344976-41/oregon-virginia-ducks-half-points.html.csp
