Raisin Harvest Festival
September 23 - 27th 2015
Plans are currently underway for our 104th Raisin Harvest Festival. "Raisin Day" as it is better known, celebrates Dinuba's Agricultural Heritage. This year our theme is "Riding the Rails of Agriculture" highlighting the early story of Dinuba and how the railroad helped our agricultural economy and was a catalyst for our town's early growth. We are bringing back some of the old-fashioned fun to engage the community and visitors in different events and displays this year. Our hope is to build on this and have a country fair atmosphere. We want to rekindle the spirit of those early Raisin Days that united the community, showcasing individuals, businesses, and organizations accomplishments while engaging in some good-hearted fun. We willl have a kids tent, exhibits, contests and old-fashioned fun and laughter as we take you back to a simpler time, when life wasn't so fast-paced and joy could be found with our family, friends, and a day in the park... "Celebrating Dinuba, Celebrating Raisin Day."

I recently heard from a friend how Josh Culley went up and beyond his job as an insurance agent, helping this family with a gift for an unexpected funeral for their mom. The story touched me as it was told how even though my friend was no longer a client of State Farm, on hearing the news of loss of their mother, Josh had extended more than his condolences. A great kindness and compassion was shown for this former client and still good friend, from our local businessman Josh Culley, State Farm Insurance, located at 780 W El Monte Way, Suite C, Dinuba, CA. It made me feel good and proud of our chamber member and friend Josh Culley. He truly had been a Good Neighbor, in a time of need and great sorrow, he went above and beyond. So hats off from the Dinuba Chamber for showing great customer service and kindness and a heartfelt thank you for what you do on a daily basis to help families in our community with the challenges that life brings their way.
Josh has proven to be an asset to our community. His great work ethic and solid family and business values have been the reason for his growth and success as a State Farm agent. We are blessed to have him!
Josh's mission statement states "Our office exists for the benefit of our customers. It is their present risk that we are protecting them from, and their future dreams that we are helping them accomplish. We make this possible through the relationships we develop with them." Josh is truly living up to his mission statement and setting the bar high for Dinuba businesses to provide great customer service and go beyond the expected.
So if you are looking for insurance for your home, auto, life, or health coverage, let me suggest you give Josh Culley a call. If you already have insurance, give him a call for a comparison. If he can't save you money or provide something better he will tell you so. That is just how he is. While you are there ask him about State Farm's financial services and see if he can help you prepare for those future dreams.
Thanks Josh, keep up the good work!

Our Second Runner-up was Julianne Acosta-Swilley, daughter of Susan Acosta and the late Anthony Swilley, Julianna shared that her goal is to make it to Broadway and she delivered a Broadway worthy performance singing "Bring Him Home". All of the girls were beautiful, poised and talented, so the judges had a hard task coming up with a winner, because all of the girls were outstanding.
Cristy Myers, Pageant Director and her assistant Shirley Stormont, and the committee, Greg Olson, Marilyn Roberts, Vikki Halstead, Sherri Wolfe, Alina Gonzalez, Tayler Wolfe, Sandy Seitz, MaryJane Oliver, Mona Carrion, Kristyn Carrion, Kayla Carrion, and Florence Tuttle did a wonderful job putting the pageant together and working with the girls to get them ready.

Peonies and Daylilies from
All remaing regular orders are going out by this Friday morning. Order numbers from 4019 - 4372 will be mailed this week Oct 5 - 9. Order numbers 4376-4602 will be shipped the week of October 12th. Thank you for not calling to check your order status. Every time we stop to answer a call shipping stops since we are the ones who do all the packing and shipping.
For those waiting for our final ordering event this fall we are going to have it posted by Friday mid morning, October 9th once we have verified what we have on hand. This is your last opportunity to order Independence Day while we grow our next crop to harvest size. We will take online orders through the weekend and ship them out on Monday the 12th of October.
Since it is just Brigitte and I doing all the work to get out the orders we think it is silly to say but we can't be answering your request for a status update on your order and pack it at the same time. We are still on track to get all orders including last minute orders out by October 15th. Still time for planting in all peony growing regions!
A heartfelt Thank You! to everyone for your peony orders this year.
Peonies are shipped September 15 - October 15th as dormant bare roots for planting this fall.
Peony experts recommend fall planting when peonies are developing a vigorous root system in response to the cooler soil temperatures.
The new 2016 Peony List will be posted after 2015 orders are filled.
We ship fresh dug roots, with 3 - 5 dormant growing buds (eyes) from September 15 - October 15, the proper time for planting.
Complete planting instructions are included with each order.
Check our Facebook Page - Hidden Springs Flower Farm - for up to the minute news.
You'll find many delightful peonies for your garden in a wide variety of colors, shapes and forms. We invite you to visit the farm to see and smell the hundreds of peonies grown right here at our farm in Spring Grove Minnesota.
Long lived daylilies bring beauty to your garden. We ship daylilies in the spring for one week in mid-May.
Peonies and daylilies provide big splashes of color in your garden.
Peony roots can be ordered until September 30th and are shipped in the fall September 15 - October 15 the proper time for planting bare root peonies.
Excellent growing conditions in the north help peonies develop the largest eyes when allowed to mature their buds in the field and dug in Mid to late September.
Growing them the extra few weeks to full maturity gives them a chance to go dormant and has produced larger eyes (buds) that develop into stronger stems the following spring.
We grow all the colorful, fragrant northern hardy daylilies and peonies that we offer right here in Spring Grove, MN.
Peonies grow best in USDA Growing Zones 3-8 which are cold climate areas with hard freezes for extended periods during the winter. We do not recommend growing peonies in zones 9 and 10.
All of the plants we offer are grown in Spring Grove, Minnesota and cared for by Brigitte and Harvey right here on our family farm. The fields are nestled in a valley between hillsides covered with majestic oaks, walnut and hickory woodlands.
We are a small family farm, not a large corporation with no name, we take pride and responsibility for delivering a product we would like to receive ourselves. We hope you will take pride in growing the plants you purchase from Hidden Springs Flower Farm too.

I never played it when it first came out on the Genesis. Instead, I first played it on PC in the late '90s when emulation started becoming popular. It has incredible replay value for a game that's almost 20 years old. This is not a full walk-through or detailed guide. This is more of a short strategy guide with my opinions on gameplay. This guide is most helpful if you've already played through the game once, but can still benefit you even if you've never played before. For a full guide, check out the wonderful FAQ by Eller at http://www.gamefaqs.com/genesis/366854-shadowrun/faqs/12296. It can also be found on the Shadowrun Wiki at http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Shadowrun_(Sega). 2. ***** GETTING STARTED ***** [xstart] A. CHOOSING YOUR JOSHUA The difficulty in the game is balanced around having a balanced party of a Samurai (combat specialist), Mage/Shaman (magic user), and a Decker (matrix specialist). Choosing which archetype, or "class" to make Joshua is a big part of this. While you can play with an unbalanced party, and it doesn't necessarily make the game any harder or easier, it is still expected that you'll have a balanced party. It seems to me the game is intended for you to start as a Samurai, at least in your first play-through. This gives you the best survivability during the first hour or two of the game until you can spend some Karma and buy better equipment. Also, there is only one NPC Samurai available to hire at the be- ginning of the game while all the NPC Deckers and Mages/Shaman are available from the start. In addition, being able to customize your abilities and cyber- ware any way you want makes you more versatile than an NPC Samurai, and means by the end of the game Samurai Josh will easily be your best character. The close second choice would be Shaman. You should have at least one spell caster in your party and having Joshua be that caster definitely has its benefits. NPC spell casters have a bad habit of switching spells in the middle of combat and often choose their weakest attack spell. They will almost always choose spells over guns, even if their Firearms skill is higher than Sorcery. Playing as Shaman Josh circumvents these limitations. (This assumes you control Joshua most of the time. If you choose to control your NPC Mage/Shaman most of the time, these limitations naturally don't apply.) Soloing the game can also be a fun challenge, and in my opinion the Shaman is the archetype best suited for that. The last choice is of course Decker. This is not because Deckers are bad, but simply because two of the three NPC Deckers are really good. Decker Josh's Computer skill starts out pretty low, and it will take some time and Karma to improve it to the point where you can actually hack systems. It's much easier to hire Phantom or Rianna and have them be your dedicated Decker (they're both decent in gunfights, too). There's also the issue that you don't NEED a dedicated Decker. I like hiring a Decker for the long term, but you can just as easily hire a Decker for the short term, farm some cash from the Matrix, then hire someone else. It should be noted that there is less difference between the Samurai and Decker. With the right cyberware and skills, the Decker can become as strong as the Samurai, though he doesn't start out as strong. With enough Karma spent, the Samurai can become a strong Decker as well, but expect to spend a long time building up said Karma. B. THE SAGA BEGINS If you've already played through the game at least once, you know you have to start by doing milk runs from Gunderson. It should only take about 6 runs to afford Michael's stuff. If you get attacked by Halloweeners during this time, it's usually easier to run than fight. Once you've paid for your brother's stuff, you should buy an Ares Predator heavy pistol. The 500 nuyen you find in your brother's stuff, plus the sell price of your starter pistol is often enough. It's cheaper to take a taxi to the Renraku Arcology and buy your new gun there than to buy it in Redmond. I prefer to do milk runs for a while longer. With your whiz new pistol you should now be able to handle yourself against Halloweeners. I will often hire Ricky for the short term. He's cheap and you can keep doing Gunderson runs (except Ghoul Hunting) for as long as you want without him leaving. His Flame Bolt spell is only Force 1, but still strong enough to handle gangers. As stated above, this first bit of the game is easiest as a Samurai, since your Body and Firearms both start at 4 instead of 2. You have to be a little more careful as a Decker or Shaman. 3. ***** BUILDING UP YOUR RUNNERS ***** [xbuild] Before too long you'll have some decent Karma and can start improving your runner(s). Have a plan before you start improving. Know what you need to improve and try to decide an order in which to improve it. A. ABILITIES Pay attention to your Attack Speed and Combat Pool (both hidden attributes). Attack Speed is the average of Quickness and Intelligence (rounded down) and reduces your recovery time between attacks. Combat Pool adds to your attack or defense. It is determined by adding Quickness, Intelligence, and Wisdom, then dividing by two (rounded down). So to optimize both Attack Speed and Combat Pool, try to keep your Quickness, Intelligence, and Willpower so they add up to an even number. Changing the Posture in your character screen determines how much Combat Pool is added to attack or defense. For NPC runners, it also affects their behavior in combat. For the character you are actively controlling, you can set your posture how you like, but for your two other characters you will want to set their posture to Mid-Offense so they contribute more in combat. Try to get Body to 4 or better ASAP. This helps your survivability immensely in the early parts of the game. Once it is at 4 or 5 you should be fine for a while, though you'll definitely want to max it (6 for most characters) by the end of the game. Quickness is good because it adds to movement speed as well as attack speed and combat pool. This makes Quickness more important than Intelligence, except for Deckers. By the end of the game, both Quickness and Intelligence should be maxed out for all characters. Willpower is the primary attribute for mages and shaman, since it determines their drain resistance. It should be improved early to allow for higher Force spells. It's less important for mundane (non-magical) characters since it only adds to Combat Pool. Strength is only important for melee characters. In general, only Samurai should be using Melee (except for Walking Bear who starts off pretty good with fisticuffs). If you like melee, have your Samurai max his/her Strength early. If you don't care for melee, you can wait until later to improve Strength, or ignore it altogether and focus on Firearms instead. Charisma has several uses. It's primary use is talking your way out of trouble when stopped by Lone Star or corp security. It is also the biggest factor in lowering hiring costs for NPC runners. I like to get it up to 5 ASAP, then max it to 6 when I can. Only Joshua's Charisma affects hiring prices and only the Charisma of your currently controlled character is used to talk your way past trouble. In general, it's more cost efficient to only improve Charisma for Joshua rather than all characters. There are ways to circumvent the need for a high Charisma. If you don't mind paying more to hire runners (or plan to solo the game) you won't need Charisma for that. You can bypass corp security by buying badges from Max for $6,000. They're expensive and I don't usually use them. Contrary to what Max says, the badges do last for more than one run (though how long is not yet determined) and so they can be worth buying. There are several ways to ignore Lone Star. You can avoid pissing them off in the first place by not using illegal weapons and not killing random people. You can ally with the Mafia (which pisses off the Yakuza) and Lone Star will leave you alone. You can purchase illegal weapon permits from Henry J. Culver for $8,000, and he can also delete your Lone Star record for $2,500. So basically not improving Charisma means you will need to spend more money to make up the difference. B. SKILLS In my opinion, everyone should improve their Firearms skills, though a Mage or Shaman with good combat spells could skip it. For a Samurai, whose main purpose is combat, I improve their base Firearms skill rather than picking a specialization. That way they can switch to a different gun type when needed. For Deckers and spell casters I just pick one specialization to focus on. I've found that 4 or 5 in the skill is enough for much of the game, though you'll want to improve it to 7 or 8 by the end. More than 8 doesn't provide much benefit since you can already kill anything quickly and easily. Which specialization you choose is a matter of personal preference, but there are obvious advantages to each choice. Pistols are the most well rounded. Heavy pistols have both good power--which affects armor penetration--and good damage. They also aren't illegal like the other weapon types. The Predator has high ammo capacity and is the most efficient weapon in the game. The Warhawk has better power (armor penetration) but horrible ammo efficiency. Pistols can also be silenced, which prevents setting off alarms inside corp buildings, and can be upgraded to improve accuracy (laser sight gives +1 to hit, smartlink gives +2). Overall, pistols are good for anyone, though stick to heavy pistols instead of light ones. SMGs fire three shots at once, but each shot is weaker compared to a heavy pistol. This means you can mow down low level enemies like gangers and ghouls but will have a harder time penetrating the armor of corp security guards. None-the-less they are still effective weapons. Like pistols, they can be silenced and smartlinked. You also NEED a gas vent system on your SMG or else your shots will be too inaccurate. The cost of upgrading plus the high base price of SMGs means you can't pick one up right at the start of the game. Shotguns are a very mixed bag. They have the highest damage of any weapon, but fire more slowly than Pistols and SMGs. The Allegiance has the highest power available (matching the Warhawk) but eats through ammo, while the Streetsweeper carries more ammo but has lower power. They are very powerful weapons but can't be customized. This means no laser sights or smartlinks and no silencers or sound suppressors. You can't take them into corporate buil- dings because one shot will set off the alarm, and the loss of accuracy from no laser sight or smartlink cancels out the increase in damage. Overall I would say the drawbacks (no customization, slower rate of fire) cancel out the benefits (higher damage) and so there's no advantage to using a Shotgun. Sorcery, naturally, is only usable by spell casters. Most casters start with 3 Sorcery. Try to improve that to 5 as soon as you can, then improve it from there at your leisure. Melee, as noted above, should be restricted to Samurai, except for Walking Bear who starts out with a good Melee skill and decent Strength. If you really like punching people, improve it early and often. Otherwise, save it for later, or ignore it altogether. Melee does have the benefit of con- serving ammo, but running out of ammo is really only a problem at the very beginning of the game. Throwing, in my opinion, is a mostly useless skill. The advantage of grenades is being able to hit multiple enemies. The disadvantages are that enemies don't always clump up, you may hit yourself or your teammates, and grenades are expensive and take a lot of inventory space. I feel the dis- advantages far outweigh the advantages. I don't like the Area of Effect spells for the same reasons. Computer is a funny skill in that the minimum needed is only a little lower than the maximum recommended. Even for easy Matrix runs, you really need a minimum Computer skill of 5, but for the hardest Matrix runs, you only need a Computer skill of 7, maybe 8. So in other words, once your Computer is at 5 or 6 you can farm easy Matrix runs until you have the nuyen to upgrade your cyberdeck. Once your deck is upgraded, you can start farming mid-level or hard Matrix runs for even more cash. Not only do you get Karma from completing runs, but you also get a little bit of Karma from crashing ICE, so you can improve your Computer to 7 or 8 no problem. I recommend not playing as Decker Josh and instead hiring Phantom or Rianna, because they start with their Computer skills at 5 and 6, respectively. Electronics is similar to Computer in that the minimum needed is only a few points lower than the maximum recommended. You need a minimum of 4 in the skill to be effective, but don't really need more than 6. It has two uses, hacking security terminals and unlocking maglock doors. The former use is arguably the more important one, since you can use security terminals to turn off alarms and cameras and also discover which floor to look on. For easy and medium corp runs, Electronics plus a Tool Kit will get you through most doors, but for hard corp runs (which are always against Renraku) you'll want to buy a maglock passkey (Alesandro Hobbs sells a Rating 5 for $20,000). I usually have my Decker improve his/her Electronics, since all four Decker characters (Joshua included) start with ranks in the skill. Biotech is great because it improves the healing done when you use a medkit, and 4 to 6 in the skill should be plenty. I usually have my Samurai improve his/her Biotech skill, though most Deckers start with points in the skill as well. Reputation is only important for Joshua. The reputation of any NPC runners doesn't matter. You need 4 Rep to get into Club Penumbra, 5 Rep to meet gang bosses without paying extra, and 6 Rep to get into Icarus Descending at all or get into The Matchstick without paying at the door. More than 6 doesn't have any real benefit, since the only thing it does is slightly affect the hiring price of NPCs. Because you can get into Icarus Descending if you have an elf in your party, the minimum Reputation needed to complete the game is 4 (to get into Club Penumbra). Lastly, we have Negotiation. As stated in its description, it affects shadowrun payments and buying and selling. It also affects hiring prices for NPC shadowrunners, though as with Reputation the increase is very small. 5 or 6 in the skill is usually enough. More than that costs too much Karma compared to the benefits you get. I usually have the spell caster in my party increase their Negotiation, because when buying spells or magic items, the mage/shaman must be the one to purchase the item, and it helps if their Negotiation is high enough to lower the purchase price. It appears that only Joshua's Negotiation affects shadowrun payments, so if I'm not playing Josh as a Shaman, I'll still increase his Negotiation some while also increasing Negotiation for my NPC mage or shaman. This is a skill you will want to increase early so it makes a bigger impact over the course of the game. C. CYBERWARE These are just my opinions on what Cyberware to buy and why. For Samurai, I usually pick up Wired Reflexes x2, Muscle Replacement x2, Spurs, Smartlink, and Cyber Eyes. Wired Reflexes significantly increases your attack speed. With level 2, you'll be attacking about twice as fast as normal, and there's the benefit of the second level only costing 1 Essence instead of 2. Since Muscle Replacement increases Strength it's naturally going to be useful for Melee combat, and the Quickness increase adds to movement speed, attack speed, and combat pool. Spurs basically just change your punches from Stun damage to Physical damage, so are great for Melee. Smartlink is an obvious choice since it gives you +2 to hit with smartguns. I only get the Cyber Eyes because there's not much else you can get with only .3 Essence left. I pass on Dermal Plating because if you have good armor then 6 Body (or more in Marrs' case) is enough to resist most attacks in the game. Besides, you know the saying, "The best defense is a good offense." Deckers get a similar set-up. I pick up Wired Reflexes x2 and Smartlink, for the same reasons as above. All Deckers need a Data Jack (and indeed, they all start with one). The three NPC Deckers all have their Quickness max out at an odd number, so I take one level of Muscle Replacement to make it an even number which improves attack speed, movement speed, and combat pool. I take two levels of Dermal Plating because it appears to help resist Black ICE attacks (even though it's not supposed to). With the remaining Essence I usually get Cyber Eyes as above, or maybe Spurs if I ever expect my Decker to use melee. D. SPELLS AND MAGIC ITEMS I get every caster a strong single target spell (Flame Bolt or Mana Blast) at the maximum force they can cast without drain, plus Invisibility at Force 5-6 and Heal Wounds at Force 4-5. Any spells beyond that are superfluous, as I haven't found many of them to be terribly useful. If your caster wants to focus on Firearms, you can skip the attack spell, but be aware that the computer likes to switch them to their weakest attack spell instead of guns. I haven't used magic items a lot because they are so expensive. They also take up a lot of inventory space, preventing you from picking up loot to sell. They're fairly self explanatory, though. Spell Foci add their rating to the corresponding spell's force, thus improving success rate, effect, and in some cases duration. I never use them because, as stated above, most spells aren't that useful. You can't buy Foci for the all-important single target attack spells, and while you can buy Foci for Invisibility and Heal Wounds I don't think they're necessary. There are also Power Foci that are supposed to add their rating to ALL spells. You can buy a rating 2 from Gregory Wilns for $50,000 and a rating 4 from the Yakuza boss for $80,000, though the latter actually only adds +3 instead of +4. Also, preliminary tests seems to indicate Shaman Josh gets less bonus from Power Foci, gaining only +1 from the rating 2 and +2 from the rating 4. Protection Talismans add to your armor, reducing incoming damage. A high rating talisman added to good armor can make you nigh invulnerable. Only spell casters can use talismans, which balances the fact that they can't get Dermal Plating (though the protection talisman is far more expensive than cyberware). I don't think the talisman is worth the price because there just aren't enough high power enemy attacks in the game to make it worth-while. Lastly there are Combat Sense Spell Locks. They add their rating to your Combat Pool (explained above in the ABILITIES section), and can either be added to offense or defense depending on your Posture. This item makes up for the fact that casters can't get Wired Reflexes or Muscle Replacement (though casters wouldn't really benefit from Wired Reflexes anyway – the spell casting animation is so slow that you might not notice any increase in attack speed). 4. ***** PICKING YOUR TEAM ***** [xteam] When hiring runners, their price is determined by Joshua's Charisma times two plus Reputation and Negotiation, the higher the better. Charisma x2 + Negotiation + Reputation NPC runners also have a hidden Attitude rating affecting how much they like you. If you successfully complete runs, they like you more. Fail runs or kick them out of the party and they like you less. If you plan on hiring a runner for life, try hiring them for the short term twice and completing two quick runs first. This will make them like you more and dramatically reduce their hiring price. This will save you a lot of money in the long run. Complete two more short term runs and their dialog changes to indicate that they like you a lot. A. SHADOWRUNNER DESCRIPTIONS Ricky – Dwarf Shaman Ricky is the first runner available. He doesn't have much going for him, but he's cheap. I recommend hiring him for the short term in the beginning of the game. He will stick with you as long as you keep doing easy escort and delivery missions for Gunderson. His Flame Bolt spell is only Force 1 but it's still strong enough to fry Halloweeners in two hits. Sadly, his Rat totem makes him worse at Attack spells, which limits his long-term potential, but he's better at Deception spells like Invisibility. If you choose to keep him for the long term, he improves nicely with a little Karma and cash spent on him. One upside to him is his Wisdom maxes at 7 instead of 6, giving him better Drain resistance than other spell casters. Beginning Rating: 2 Long Term Potential: 8 Winston Marrs – Troll Samurai Marrs is the only Samurai available at the beginning of the game. This makes him a good choice to pick up if your Joshua isn't a Samurai himself. Being a Troll means his Body and Strength start higher than other runners, and he can improve them to ridiculous levels (11 and 10 respectively). The downside is his Quickness, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma suffer (though his low Charisma isn't a big drawback because you shouldn't shouldn't be im- proving his Charisma anyway). One other downside is his specialization in Shotguns. Since shotguns can't be silenced, they make corp runs tougher since he risks setting off alarms if he shoots. You also can't upgrade accuracy on shotguns. I recommend improving his base Firearms skill and giving him a pistol or SMG instead of his shotgun. Despite his drawbacks, he's a very good runner to start with and has loads of improvement potential. Beginning Rating: 5 Long Term Potential: 10 Trent Delisario – Human Mage Trent starts out pretty weak, similar to Ricky. However, he improves quickly and seems like a better option than Ricky (he also isn't short and ugly). As a mage, he has one extra inventory slot because he doesn't need to carry a Totem. He also earns style points from me for his classy hat and overcoat. He will give you Prof. Jefferson's number for free if you ask him about contacts. With good growth potential, he's worth keeping if you hire him early and build him up. Beginning Rating: 2 Long Term Potential: 9 Petr Uvehr – Dwarf Decker The cheapest Decker available, but not even worth his low price. His 2 in Computer is useless, since you would need to spend a lot of Karma to improve that to 5 before you can complete even simple Matrix runs. I've played through the game with every runner and found Petr to be the worst overall. Beginning Rating: 1 Long Term Potential: 7 Walking Bear – Ork Shaman She's the mid-level spell caster available for hire. She's pretty pricey but has decent stats and spell selection. She has Strength and Body bonuses for being an Ork, but her Intelligence and Charisma suffer as a result. She has a Heal Wounds Focus and also gets healing bonuses from her Bear Totem, though you can probably sell the focus once you've upgraded her Heal Wounds spell rating. Overall a pretty good runner, though I think she's a bit overpriced and she gets overshadowed by Freya. Beginning Rating: 5 Long Term Potential: 9 Phantom – Elf Decker The mid-level Decker available. He's fairly expensive, but worth the price. His Computer skill starts out at a decent level, and he also has Electronics, In addition, he's good in a fight with a decent Pistols skill and Wired Reflexes 1. He wears a classy hat and trenchcoat like Trent does. I like to hire him for the long term because he improves nicely, but you can also hire him for the short term to do a couple matrix runs, then switch to Rianna later. Beginning Rating: 6 Long Term Potential: 10 Ilene Two-Fists – Human Samurai You can't hire Ilene until you've rescued her from Hollywood Correctional as part of the test to join the Sinsearach. The way I play, this usually doesn't happen until 2/3 through the game or later, at which point she's usually not worth hiring. You can get her earlier, though, by talking to Caleb Brightmore early on and being to told to find Frosty. You'll either have to walk through the Salish-Shide wilderness (which is dangerous for weaker runners and it's easy to get lost) or have Sharkey fly you there (which is expensive). Either way, you have to make a focused effort to get Ilene. You can usually get Stark at around the same time, and he starts out a lot better than she does. The upside is Ilene is more customizable than Stark, and thus has more growth potential. Beginning Rating: 6 Long Term Potential: 9 Freya Goldenhair – Elf Mage Freya is the best spell caster available, but also ridiculously expensive. She starts with decent stats, good Sorcery and Pistol skills, high Negotiation, and a great selection of spells. Her Hell Blast Spell Focus makes an otherwise useless spell actually cool and fun to use since one casting can fry a whole band of enemies. Be careful, though, because you'll burn through Fetishes as fast as you burn through enemies. If you hire Ricky or Trent in the beginning and don't plan on keeping them for the whole game, upgrade straight to Freya. Beginning Rating: 7 Long Term Potential: 9 Rianna Heartbane – Elf Decker Phantom's counterpart, she starts out with higher stats and skills than him. She's also the most expensive runner available. It's debatable whether she is worth her high price-tag or whether it's better to build up Phantom. Her biggest downside is her 1 Body. This makes her less effective in a firefight and she'll probably get fried the first time she faces Black ICE. I recommend improving her Body to 3 ASAP, and buying some Dermal Plating (which is not supposed to protect against Black ICE, but does). An interest- ing note: if you get her to like you enough, her hiring dialog changes so it seems like she has a crush on you. Freya also seems to crush on you, but not as hard as Rianna. Beginning Rating: 7 Long Term Potential: 10 Stark – Human Samurai Stark was your brother Michael's best friend. He's not available until you've rescued him from the Salish-Shide wilderness and given him a new heart. Once he's healed, you can hire him for free. He starts out with great stats and skills, and comes fully cybered. However, this can be a downside because his cyberware choices are questionable. He has 3 levels of Dermal Plating which is probably more than you need. He also doesn't have a Smart- link, and his Smartgoggles are really only as good as a laser sight. Overall, he starts out really good but has no growth potential. I used him the first couple times I played through the game, mostly because he joins for free, but have passed on him in subsequent play-throughs. Beginning Rating: 8 Long Term Potential: 8 B. RECOMMENDED GROWTH The following charts list what I think you should be aiming for when improving your characters. I list the starting rating and the recommended maximum. Total Karma is how much Karma it takes over the course of a full play-through to reach these recommended levels. I also note the expected price of fully kitting out your characters with Cyberware and Spells, based on what they start with. You can get discounts at the magic shops to reduce spell prices and you can join the Yakuza to reduce cyberware prices at Little Chiba.

SHADOWRUN TYPES All shadowruns in this game fall into 4 main categories. There are "fetch" runs which include both Courier and Escort missions. There are "kill" missions which include Ghoul Hunting and Enforcement missions. There are Matrix runs, of course. And lastly there are corp runs, which include Extraction and Retrieval missions. B. "FETCH" RUNS Courier and Escort missions both work the same. You go to point A, pick up either a person or a package, take him/it to point B and get paid. The only difference in Escort runs is you have to keep the client alive, but this is not difficult. The first 10-20 minutes of the game will always be doing easy fetch runs, and you may come back to them later as they are a quick source of Karma. The Ork Armband from the ork gang will get you free cab rides. Get it before trying the Medium runs, otherwise cab fare will cut into your profits. Easy Courier and Escort: from Gunderson Pays 35-55 Nuyen, 1 Karma per run. Locations are always in Redmond Barrens. Medium Courier and Escort: from Mortimer Reed and Julius Strouther Pays 180-200 Nuyen, 1 Karma per run. Locations are all over. C. "KILL" MISSIONS Kill missions obviously mean you have to go and kill someone (or something). They're the only kinds of runs that REQUIRE violence (all other runs actually go more smoothly when you DON'T have to shoot anybody). Ghoul Hunting missions involve going into a ghoul infested building and killing the blue-skinned beasties. In the higher level version, you may face other creatures like wendigo, gargoyles, and hell hounds but only ghouls count towards completing the run. These runs can be pretty tough at the beginning of the game, but by the middle of the game become pretty easy. However, they take a long time to get the maximum 20 kills and so aren't always an efficient source of cash. Enforcement missions require you to beat down a gang on their home turf. The Johnson has some issue with one of the three local gangs and asks you to "discuss" the matter with them. In every case, you will be attacked by four or five gang members. If your team is prepared with decent guns and armor the fights are quite easy. Easy Ghoul Runs: from Gunderson Pays 10-20 Nuyen per kill, up to 20 kills. 1 Karma per run Location is always in Redmond Barrens. Medium Ghoul Runs: from Mortimer Reed Pays 30-50 Nuyen per kill, up to 20 kills. 1 Karma per run Locations are all over. Enforcement Runs: from Mortimer Reed, Julius Strouther, and Vigore & Jarl Pays 180-200 Nuyen, 2 Karma per run (1 from Vigore & Jarl) Orks are in Puyallup Barrens, Halloweeners in Redmond Barrens, and Eye-Fivers in Penumbra District. D. MATRIX RUNS All Matrix runs require you to jack in to the Passcode the Johnson gives you and perform some task. Usually this involves finding a Data Store and downloading, uploading, or deleting a file. Occasionally they'll ask you to crash the CPU instead. While jacked in, you are able to view Run Details which will tell you the exact Node to look for. Often you are able to download data without completing the run, then sell said data to Roscoe the Fixer in Downtown. You can then jack back in to the same Passcode and do it again. This is what I meant when I mentioned above about farming cash from the Matrix. You should have 5 Computer or so before trying even easy Matrix runs, while 7 Computer is usually enough even for Hard runs. See section 6-F for tips about upgrading your cyberdeck. Easy Matrix Runs: from Mortimer Reed and Vigore & Jarl Pays 400-500 Nuyen, 2 Karma per run (1 from Vigore & Jarl) Runs are always against small unnamed systems. Medium Matrix Runs: from Caleb Brightmore, Julius Strouther, Vigore & Jarl Pays 2400-2600 Nuyen, 3 Karma per run (2 from Vigore & Jarl) Runs are usually against large unnamed systems, but occasionally against Gates Undersound or Club Penumbra. Hard Matrix Runs: from Caleb Brightmore and Vigore & Jarl Pays 6000-6200 Nuyen, 5 Karma per run (4 from Vigore & Jarl) Runs are always against corporate systems, such as Mitsuhama, Fuchi, Renraku, and Lone Star. E. CORP RUNS Corp runs are the most complicated type, but can also be the most fun to do. There are two types, Retrieval and Extraction. Both require you to sneak inside the target corp's building, which happens automatically when you enter the front door. Once inside, Retrieval runs require you to check wall safes to find a package and return it to Mr. Johnson. For Extraction runs you have to find an employee and smuggle him out. Extraction runs are slightly harder because of the chance of the employee dying in a firefight and yet pay slightly less. If you are well prepared, corp runs can be quick, easy, and profitable. If you are not well prepared, they can be very difficult and tend to drag out. While inside, you'll need a way to avoid guard patrols, and the Invisibility spell at a decent Force (4+) is probably the easiest. You can also purchase corp security badges from Max the Fixer. I've mentioned it above, but you need to use silenced weapons to avoid setting off alarms. Fists and spells work great, too. You also need a way to get through doors, either a maglock passkey or an electronics kit with a high skill rating. Easy runs mostly have rating 2 maglocks, which are easy to pick. Medium runs still have some rating 2 locks, but a lot more rating 3 and 4 doors that are harder to pick. Hard runs (which are always against Renraku) have almost all rating 3-5 doors, and you should seriously consider a rating 5 passkey unless you want to raise your Electronics skill to 8+. Even if you do buy the passkey, you should still have 5-6 in Electronics so you can hack security terminals. You can also hack the Matrix while inside corp buildings. If you find the right Slave Modules, you can turn off cameras, maglocks, and alarms. (You can also turn off elevators, but why would you want to?) Naturally, you can also snag some data to sell later. The problem is, even the easy corp runs have hard Matrix systems. You have to have a high enough Computer skill and strong enough cyberdeck to handle hard Matrix runs, making this method pointless on easy corp runs and of questionable use on medium ones. Also, unless you have the corporate systems memorized, finding the right nodes is terribly time consuming, and you run the risk of setting off the Matrix alert which also sounds the alarms in the real world. So hacking the Matrix inside corp buildings is an alternative to having a high Electronics skill, but in my opinion is less viable. It's important to know the difference between security terminals and Matrix terminals. The latter look like computers set into the wall, while the former look like two Matrix terminals right next to each other. Matrix terminals are scattered about pretty liberally, while there is usually only one security terminal per floor (and none on the first floor of Renraku). Easy Corp Runs: from Mortimer Reed and Julius Strouther Pays 450-600 Nuyen, 2 Karma per run Runs are against Fuchi or Mitsuhama. Medium Corp Runs: from Julius Strouther, Caleb Brightmore, and Vigore & Jarl Pays 900-1500 Nuyen, 4 Karma per run (3 from Vigore & Jarl) Runs are against Ares or Lone Star Hard Corp Runs: from Caleb Brightmore and Vigore & Jarl Pays 3500-4500 Nuyen, 6 Karma per run (5 from Vigore & Jarl) Runs are always against Renraku F. GETTING THE MOST MONEY AND KARMA FROM YOUR RUNS Overall, Matrix runs are the easiest way to make money. Completing Matrix runs nets you a lot of cash, but you'll also want to download some pay-data while you're jacked in. You can then sell that data to Roscoe the Fixer, and will often make more from selling the pay-data than from the run itself. Sometimes you can even log in repeatedly to steal more data without actually finishing the run. Later in the game, you can get passcodes to the large named systems, letting you log in to them without taking a run. You get Karma from completing runs, obviously. You also get a little bit of Karma from killing people and crashing ICE. It usually takes 15-20 kills per Karma, so isn't very efficient. Doing easy beginner runs from Gunderson is a very efficient way to get Karma. However, it is also extremely monotonous, even more so than farming the Matrix. Completing Matrix runs (and not just farming systems) also nets you pretty good Karma, but I think the best way to get Karma is doing mid-level corp runs. This is because there is only a small increase in difficulty between easy and medium corp runs, while the latter net you twice as much cash and Karma. They also go quickly and are quite fun. I avoid hard corp runs because the increase in difficulty between medium and hard is quite steep. The other types of runs (Ghoul Hunting, Enforcement, mid-level "fetch" runs, etc.) are there if you like them, but they aren't the best ways to get Karma. Avoid taking runs from Vigore & Jarl. They pay more money than other Johnsons, but give less Karma. I also don't use Julius Strouther much, because by the time you can get into Matchsticks without paying, you can also get into Icarus Descending, and Caleb Brightmore offers better jobs than Julius. G. UPGRADING YOUR CYBERDECK As I said, the Matrix is the best way to make money. However, it takes money to make money, in the form of upgrading your cyberdeck. If you are interested in farming the Matrix, get a good Decker (Phantom is moderately expensive but well worth his price). Take an easy Matrix run, collect some data, but don't complete the run. Jack out and sell that data to Roscoe the Fixer in Downtown. Keep doing this and in short order you can afford to upgrade your 'deck. Raise your Deception and Attack programs to 4 or 5 each. After this, I recommend upgrading to the Fuchi Cyber-5 (MPCP 6). Upgrade Response to 2, then slowly increase your deck's stats except for Sensors. Aside from Attack and Deception, I don't recommend upgrading any other programs except for maybe Sleaze. Somewhere in here you can switch from easy Matrix systems to medium difficulty ones. They are reasonably tougher, but the pay-data will usually sell for around twice as much, while the run itself will net you 5 times as much pay and a little more karma. Once your cyberdeck's stats are maxed, it's time to upgrade again. I recommend buying the Fuchi Cyber-7 (MPCP 10). You definitely do not need the expensive Fairlight Excalibur (MPCP 12). If you'd rather save a little money, you can still take on hard systems with the less expensive SEGA-CTY360 (MPCP 8). Increase Response to 3 then upgrade your Attack and Deception programs some more. You should also increase your stats, Masking to 10, Evasion to 8, and Sensors to 5 (Body can stay at 6). You will need the Analyze and Slow programs, but leave them at Rating 1. They are only there to feed to Tar Pit ICE so it doesn't eat your high rating Attack program. Assuming your Computer is around 7 or more, it won't be long before you can handle any and all of the high level Matrix systems. For the high level systems, you want to steal data from the Confidential Data nodes, as the data here is 4 to 6 times more valuable than other nodes. You can also complete the CHERNOBYL side quest for an extra 50,000 nuyen (see below). I recommend upgrading only Attack and Deception because they are the most useful programs. You can Deceive your way through the majority of ICE, and you'll need Attack to crash anything you can't Deceive. All the other programs have varying degrees of usefulness, but you can survive without them. Sleaze is probably the best of the second tier programs because it has a slightly higher success rate than Deception. However, with Sleaze you just bypass the node and can't interact with it. It is useful in corp systems if you're looking for a specific node quickly. I used to use Rebound a lot because it combines attack and defense into one program, but no longer feel it to be useful. Analyze seems like it should have been useful, but un- fortunately it takes multiple uses to get any kind of data on the enemy ICE and really isn't worth upgrading. The Sensor rating affects your Analyze success rate, and also slightly helps when searching for files to download. Because we aren't upgrading Analyze, it's not worth raising Sensor more than a few points. You will also need Slow at Rating 1 to feed to Tar Pits, but none of the other programs are worth purchasing. 6. ***** SO THE STORY GOES... ***** [xstory] Shadowrun's storyline is fairly short and straightforward. However, it's also well written and flexible. You can complete many of the story elements in any order. You can also complete as many non-story runs as you like before, during, or after completing story elements. I tend to level my runners up doing generic runs before doing the storyline as it makes several parts much easier. A. QUICK WALKTHROUGH For a more detailed walkthrough, see Eller's FAQ at http://www.gamefaqs.com/genesis/366854-shadowrun/faqs/12296. A) The Beginning 1) Earn enough money to get Michael's stuff from Stoker's Coffin Motel. 2) Find Tabitha Shale at Tarislar City Inn in Puyallup Barrens, learn about Boris Erascoe. 3) Ask Erascoe in Redmond Barrens about Michael, get attacked by two Renraku goons. The next three sections can be done in any order. They can also be done con- currently, meaning you don't have to finish one before starting the other two. I tend to complete them in the order listed. B) Deal with Renraku 1) Go to the Big Rhino and ask Mortimer Reed about Mako Sochou. 2) Find Mako at Club Penumbra, get attacked by four Renraku goons. Find out about Ito Ogami. 3) Look for Ito at Gates Undersound. 4) Follow him to Matchsticks and kill him. You get the passcode to his personal Matrix system. 5) Infiltrate Renraku and find the map overlay on the top floor. C) Learn the identity of your enemy 1) Find Owlfeather in the Amerindian village. He asks you to rescue his brother. 2) Find Aragorn's location, either from Mortimer Reed or the clue in Mitsuhama's Matrix system. 3) Infiltrate Mitsuhama and rescue Aragorn. 4) Return to Owlfeather, who tells you to meet Spirit Eyes on Council Island. 5) Get a Gargoyle Horn for Spirit Eyes 6) Get a Hell Hound Pelt for Spirit Eyes 7) Search the caves in the wilderness for Licourtrix and save him from the Renraku Strike Team. 8) Return to Spirit Eyes and find out about THON. D) Find Frosty 1) Talk to Caleb Brightmore at Icarus Descending, find out about Frosty. 2) Look for her at Tarislar City Inn, find out she's gone to the wilderness. 3) Go to the Sinsearach (it's so much easier to have Sharkey fly you there instead of walking) and ask to see the Elders. Agree to be tested. 4) Find Red Buffalo Woman at the Amerindian village. 5) Return to Gillian Morningsong at the Sinsearach village. 6) Discover Ilene Two Fist's location, either from Caleb Brightmore or the from the clues on the Ares and Hollywood networks. 7) Rescue Ilene from Hollywood. 8) Return to the Sinsearach elders and agree to join them. E) The End 1) Ask the Sinsearach elders if you can meet Frosty. Find out about Harlequin. 2) Meet Harlequin at Tarislar Garden Apartments. 3) Go to the Jump House and ask Gunderson about Vigore. 4) Go to the Rat's Nest and find Vigore's map. 5) Return to Harlequin. He will tell you to prepare for the final battle. 6) Return to Harlequin again and tell him you're ready. 7) You will be flown to Ellisia's tomb. Kill the goons outside then proceed inside to face Thon. And that's it! Like I said, the storyline is fairly short and straight- forward, but well written and non-linear. Sadly, the game ending is not particularly climactic. This is mostly because the Genesis was not capable of a detailed, graphically pretty ending. B. SIDE QUESTS There are also two sidequests that can be done any time after The Beginning.

This top-performing mascara instantly lengthens, separates, and volumizes lashes. Its unique 3D spiral brush grabs and defines every last lash and the formula leaves lashes soft and conditioned, not dry or brittle.
The fragrance-free formula is easy to remove with a water-soluble cleanser yet it wears without flaking or smudging and won't clump as you apply it. The single black shade is a good option to add drama to anyone's lashes!
Paula's Choice Skincare At-A-Glance
Paula's Choice Skincare was established in 1995 when best-selling beauty author and consumer advocate Paula Begoun (known as The Cosmetics Cop) decided to develop her own products. Like most of us, she was fed up with products that overpromised results, cost a lot of money, and failed to deliver—or made matters worse!
As a natural evolution of Paula's personal mission to help consumers find the best products for their skin, the line has grown into an extensive range of skincare and makeup products that are formulated to meet the needs of almost every skin type and skin concern imaginable. From acne to wrinkles, oily skin, rosacea, large pores, eczema, redness, dry skin, and on and on, Paula's Choice offers a solution.
Paula's Choice Skincare stands apart from other cosmetics brands. The formulas contain only ingredients that have substantiated, published research showing they are beneficial and effective—so you get visible results. Stable packaging is another feature of the brand, using innovative, opaque, and air-tight or air-restrictive components that keep antioxidants and other light- and air-sensitive ingredients from breaking down. The line is also 100% fragrance-free, which is best for all skin types, especially for those with sensitive skin or rosacea.
Disclosure: Paula Begoun is the creator of Beautypedia and founder of Paula's Choice Skincare products. Reviewing thousands of skincare and makeup products over the past 30 years, both on this site and in her best-selling books, Paula's mission has always been to help consumers find the best products possible for their skin. The Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains this commitment. In addition, The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same rating standards and criteria, whether it is a Paula's Choice product or another brand.
Why are all Paula's Choice Skincare products rated highly? The Paula's Choice Skincare Team would not launch a product unless it was worthy of a high rating from The Beautypedia Team. Paula and The Beautypedia Team were researching and reviewing products long before Paula's Choice Skincare ever existed and consumers were constantly requesting a skincare brand that met all of Beautypedia's criteria. As a result, The Paula's Choice Skincare Team was created and uses the same research and criteria to formulate Paula's Choice products as The Beautypedia Team uses to review products.
Strengths: All products are fragrance-free; uniquely formulated AHA and BHA products; effective skin-lightening options; toners that go beyond the norm; all sunscreens provide broad spectrum protection; proven anti-acne products; antioxidant-rich serums and moisturizers; anti-aging products that work as claimed.
Weaknesses: Does not offer a complete collection of makeup; makeup shade range isn't as extensive for darker skin tones; limited concealer options.

The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin. We do this by relentlessly pursuing and relying on published scientific research so you will have unbiased information on what works and what doesn't-and the sneaky ways you could be making your skin worse, not better!
The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
I thought MEGA, would provide volume, yet it simply provides definition. As for comparing it to Lancome's Defincils, it was hardly that and thankfully so. The application was slow, applies with ease and without smearing on lids. I did happen to have Clinque's mascara primer and that was the saving grace for this mascara. Using the primer with the mascara works well, providing a natural, defined lash without clumps.
I am a DIE HARD Lancome mascara lover and Paula has converted me! This mascara is the absolute BEST of the BEST. Builable coverage it's the only mascara you need from natural to glamorous. Leaves my lashes long, seperated and defined all day with no clumping, smearing or flaking. It also feels great because it's not heavy or sticky just feals like lush long lashes. Love this mascara!
I love this mascara! It really does lengthen my lashes, but it doesn't clump or flake. This mascara can build greater coverage, but I personally don't like overly thick, lumpy spider leg lashes, so one quick coating is just right for me. It makes my lashes look long and lush without looking overly done.

Review of Burnside b&b
Overall my stay was very comfortable.The room,although a little small was very clean & tidy.Our host was very attentive,pleasant & always had a smile.Only criticism I have is that the shower wasn't very powerful & whenever I switched telly on,we had to keep reprogramming to get channels.I would have no problem with recommending the guest house to my family & friends
We had a lovely week at Burnside.
Sharon and Pete could not do enough for us. Excellent breakfast to help us spend the day walking. We have booked again for September. Enough said.

2 Nights In Late October
This house we found quite easily, and were able to park 30m away, across the road.
Though the house is unprepossessing externally, the proprietors have created a small, but tasteful, breakfast room to accommodate their guests in their four bedrooms. We were allocated room-2 for our two nights booking in late October. Our room was at the front of the house, on the first floor, facing onto the road outside. It was not double glazed but we experienced no great disturbance from passing traffic. The room was adequately furnished with a large wardrobe, flat screen TV and a chest of draws (tea & coffee making facilities Inc.), the settee was and added bonus. We found the bed to be warm and comfortable, though we had to stack the several cushions with the pillows in order to sit up in bed without the discomfort of the iron & brass bed-head. The bijou shower room was also well equipped. Our room was spotlessly clean. The teddy bear was banished to the fireplace. We found the room temperature to be perfect, and were glad of the comfort & shelter Burnside presented during the extremely wet three days of our stay. Full English breakfast was taken and greatly enjoyed. We would certainly recommend this B&B to anyone heading for the lakes.

Its initiatives are concentrated on a continuous improvement of its components to be consistent with the state-of-the-art in geodetic issues and to satisfy in a better way the user needs.As a member of the Commission 1 (Reference Frames) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and as a Working Group of the Cartographic Commission of the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH), SIRGAS provides the adequate support to develop and combine all scientific and practical activities related to precise geo-referencing and navigation, Earth sciences research, and multidisciplinary applications. In particular, SIRGAS furnishes the fundamental layer for the geospatial data infrastructure in the region. Consequently, SIRGAS permanently assists the Regional Committee of the United Nations on Global Geospatial Information Management for the Americas (UN-GGIM: Americas), whose main objective at present is to promote the UN Resolution on the Global Geodetic Reference Frame for Sustainable Development, adopted at the UN General Assembly on 26th of February, 2015.The achievements of SIRGAS as a reference frame and as a technical community are possible thanks to the maintenance of an active network of people and organizations working in the same direction and contributing to the different SIRGAS objectives.Recent achievements, on-going activities, and new challenges are presented and discussed in the SIRGAS Annual Symposia. In this opportunity, we have the kind invitation from the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Ureña (UNPHU) to hold the Symposium SIRGAS 2015 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from 18 to 20 November. In the days previous to the Symposium, from November 16 to 17, a new edition of the SIRGAS School on Reference Systems is scheduled. This School is oriented to invite the Caribbean countries to participate in the different SIRGAS activities developed in the region. The SIRGAS School is sponsored by the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) through the project Monitoring crustal deformation and the ionosphere by GPS in the Caribbean, which is also supported by the IAG, the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior(IASPEI) and the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA).For more details, and to be included in the mailing list, please send your name, areas of interest and the name of your university, organization or company to firstname.lastname@example.com.

|NBC Wins Primetime of 12/8 in Key Demos for 6th Straight Week
December 16, 2014
Michael Feinstein, two-time Emmy and five-time Grammy Award-nominated entertainer dubbed "The Ambassador of the Great American Songbook," will take the stage on Oscar Sunday, February 24, at the Academy's official post-Oscar celebration, the Governors Ball.
Feinstein is considered one of the premier interpreters of American standards. His 200-plus shows a year have included performances at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and the Hollywood Bowl as well as the White House and Buckingham Palace.
Feinstein has received national recognition for his commitment to celebrating America's popular song and preserving its legacy for the next generation. In 2007, he founded the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, dedicated to celebrating the art form and preserving it through educational programs, Master Classes, and the annual High School Vocal Academy and Competition, which awards scholarships and prizes to students across the country. Through his live performances, recordings, film and television appearances, and his songwriting (in collaboration with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Lindy Robbins and Carole Bayer Sager), Feinstein is an all-star force in American music.
Feinstein will perform for the Ball's 1,500 guests, which will include Oscar winners and nominees, show presenters and performers, and other luminaries. The Ball will be held in The Ray Dolby Ballroom on the top level of the Hollywood & Highland Center.
Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane. The Oscar presentation will be televised live on the ABC Television Network and in more than 225 countries worldwide. For more information go to Oscar.com or download the official Oscars app.

Video: Schefter on this Burress foolishness
By Dan Graziano
The big question of the day was whether the
Dallas Cowboys
would or should sign free-agent wide receiver
Plaxico Burress
. This all sprouted from an ESPNDallas.com report Thursday that said the team had had "
preliminary discussions
" with Burress' agent. Adam Schefter addressed this
on SportsCenter
, and while he did allow that he's surprised that Burress hasn't signed anywhere yet, he said, "it would be an even bigger surprise if he ended up in Dallas with the Cowboys. The Cowboys are trying to groom their young wide receivers, and if they wanted to sign Plaxico Burress, they probably would have done it by now."
So there you go. If you don't believe me, believe Adam. Burress isn't what the Cowboys are about right now. As you know from reading
Camp Confidential
earlier today (as I'm sure you all did), the Cowboys are trying to build their football program for the future. Burress isn't a good enough player at this point in his career that it's worth (a) the baggage he brings or (b) costing the young receivers reps and setting back their development another year. The Cowboys will be fine without Burress, and even if they do have an injury to
Miles Austin
or Dez Bryant, there's nothing in Burress' recent history to indicate he'd be a significantly better option that
Kevin Ogletree
or anyone else the Cowboys currently have. I'm sorry. I know he's a big name, but this isn't 2006.
If I were Burress and his agent, I would also be surprised and disappointed that
Randy Moss
Terrell Owens
have been able to get jobs and I haven't. And if Burress' agent is trying to drum up interest in his client, good for him. That's his job. But like Adam, I would be surprised if the Cowboys reciprocated his interest. And I think they're wise not to.

This location is handy to Interstate 75 on your way through Toledo. There is an excellent restaurant in the Ramada Inn next door to the Comfort Inn. It is a short walk from the Comfort Inn. There is a real blockage caused by road construction in front of the hotel right now. The sleep quality is good. The rooms were adequate, and the helpfulness of the desk clerk, a man of approximately sixty, was exemplary. I have no hesitation in recommending this economical option in the Toledo area.
