Las Estrell...BoliviaFoodFunding via Fundación Pro Mujer
Arco Iris G...BoliviaFoodFunding via Fundación Pro Mujer
Jhohan Group
After the flooding that happened in Guayaramerin many micro-enterprises were affected as they lost the greater part of their merchandise and their work tools. Yancarla indicates that she joined Pro Mujer three years ago on the invitation of a friend who is a member of the institution. She says that after this natural disaster which affected her family, she decided to restart her economic activity as it is her only source of productivity. Her business is selling meals. She states that she started the business five years ago, observing that her products were much in demand by her neighbors so she decided to sell them.
The loan she is now requesting is to increase her working capital (buying kitchen utensils) that she will buy at the wholesalers in the city of Beni and later she will use them in her business. This form of work allows her to generate resources to support her family as she is married and has two children. When she was asked what she liked about Pro Mujer she replied that she liked the support the institution is offering her to reestablish her business and she likes the health care and medical consultations.
Después de la inundación que hubo en Guayaramerin muchas microempresarias fueron afectadas, ya que perdieron gran parte de su mercadería y sus herramientas de trabajo. La señora Yancarla indica que hace tres años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución; Ella cuenta que después de este desastre natural, que afecto a su familia, ella decidió retomar su actividad económica, ya que es su única fuente de producción; el negocio que tiene es la venta de comida, da a conocer que este negocio lo emprendió hace cinco años al observar que sus productos son muy requeridos por sus vecinos decidió emprenderlo de nuevo.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de compra de utensilios de cocina) que adquirirá de las vendedoras mayoristas de la ciudad del Beni y posteriormente implementará en su negocio. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar a su familia, ya que ella es casada y tiene dos hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el apoyo que le ofrece la institución para restablecer su negocio y cuidar su salud con los consultorios médicos.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
Natural disaster loans from Fundación Pro Mujer are directed towards existing clients who have been adversely affected by regional floods, alvalanches, and other natural disasters.
These loans work as seed money for business owners to reactivate a devastated business and gives them the ability to generate income for themselves and their families again.
Kiva's low-cost, risk tolerant capital allows Fundación Pro Mujer to offer a higher risk product to these specific clients, as they work to rebuild their lives and businesses.

This is a Group Loan

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Reviews for Baron Custom Accessories Roadliner Stratoliner/Raider Stealth Big Air Kit - BA-2021-00
Better Fit
They need to take a look at the fit of the left side coiles.The rear will not fit with the location of the cutout over the air cleaner. The front is really tight also.I would recommend this item to a friend.
I AM AMAZED! THE BIKE IS RUNNING BETTER THAN EVER. INSTALLATION WAS EASY. TOOK ABOUT 3 HRS. INSTRUCTIONS COULD BE IN A LARGER FONT THOUGH. LOVE THIS INVESTMENT. GOING FOR A LONG RIDE THIS WEEK END.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Worth every penny
Absolutely love this. Did install my self on a roadliner instructions were very good as far as removing tank. Install was tricky but nothing you cant do yourself! Made a noticable differance in sound and performance. A week later installed a power commander and she'll put you to the back seat every shift. And as always with Dennis Kirk in my hand in two days!!!!!!I would recommend this item to a friend.

As locals, we describe our love for this place we call home as "Bluffton: Heart of the Lowcountry." This is the place we are so grateful to be a part of, not only its past but our promising future.
Each year in October, our local citizens and others come together at the annual Historic Bluffton Arts & Seafood Festival in Old Town.
Town staff recently completed updates to the comprehensive plan that were reviewed by the Planning Commission on Oct. 22 and recommended for approval by Town Council.
Town Council adopted the current town of Bluffton comprehensive plan in 2007.
I hope everyone turned their clocks back one hour late last night to welcome in daylight saving time. The days will seem shorter, but we will all continue to enjoy the fall season that is upon us.
The town of Bluffton is installing a new phone system.
Our old phone system has reached the end of its usable life, pushing the resources it provided, which required a large amount of administrative complexity in both hardware and software.
What a fantastic week we just witnessed.
The 10th annual Historic Bluffton Arts & Seafood Festival has been another success. This festival is turning in to the must-attend weeklong event in the Lowcountry.
If all of our Mondays could start like this past one, oh what a wonderful world we would be. I was part of three presentations by the Players Amateur, which is run by the Heritage Classic Foundation.
Today marks the beginning of Fire Prevention Week, which is Oct. 5-11.
Every day in Bluffton we encounter reminders of our cultural heritage.
One that has always fascinated me is located within Oyster Factory Park: The Garvin House.
This building has enjoyed a magnificent view of the May River for more than 140 years.
It's something we always knew. It's just that now, more people know it.
Never in my public or personal life in Bluffton have I witnessed so much unprecedented good news about our town.

Long and winding road from Ambridge
Could The Archers lie behind the success of the Beatles? In a podcast with Chris Evans for a Radio 2 series of interviews between presenters and their heroes for Children in Need, Sir Paul McCartney says his imagination was ignited by listening to the radio with his mother as she ironed. "You had to fill it all in," he says. "The guy coming out of the fields going 'oo-arr', he would look like that. Later, when writing songs, you need this to imagine an Eleanor Rigby or a Mr Kite.

OSU honors three for agricultural contributions
"Linda bleeds orange," said Dale Maronek, head of the department of horticulture and landscape architecture. "She has long offered her time and expertise to OSU's Stillwater and Oklahoma City campuses, provided financial and in-kind resources, and been active in the Oklahoma FFA Foundation."
For more than 20 years, Shackelford was an underwriter for "Oklahoma Gardening" on OETA. Along with Charles Shackelford, she funded a horticulture professorship in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
A native of Wellington, Kan., Hamilton joined The Nature Conservancy in 1982 as manager of the TNC Cross Ranch Preserve, a position he held for six years. In 1988, the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve was initiated in Osage County and Hamilton has served as manager and science director since its inception.
OSU Distinguished Professor Sam Fuhlendorf said Hamilton views the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources as his primary collaborating partner.
"Many people across the country assume Bob is an OSU faculty member because of his continued support for and close integration with our rangeland research and management programs," Fuhlendorf said.
Hamilton is a leader in Osage County's ranching community, and has long spearheaded efforts to promote and expand rangeland conservation practices.
Donald Stotts is a communications specialist with OSU's Agricultural Communications Services.

Enraptured, compulsive, she falls madly in love with fellow student Zhou Wei.

The best nail strenghtener out there! My nails used to be brittle and would peel and crack. After using this initiaally a few times, I cant go on without it. I need it and must always be stocked up on this. This saved my nails and actually ade them grow.

I've never found this at Beauty Supply stores but after reading great reviews here, I decided to order it online for about $8. No, I've only used this 3 times, and I am not kidding, my nails are stronger than ever already. It's like magic, it literally works over night. All my life I've had weak, fragile nails that never grew and with this formula I know I'll have long strong nails in no time :) I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone, definitely HG status!

I used this product in my teenage years and I do remember it strengthening my nails but I would reapply it every day after a manicure. I found something that works!! It is called QUIMICA ALEMANA!
After promising myself I will never do acrylics, I found this and it has been the greatest thing in my life and I am not exaggerating. I have even passed this on to friends and family members and they love it.
You can find this on Amazon and Ebay!

If you want to switch nail polishes every 1-2 days, you have to start using Rejuvacote.
After using Rejuvacote for about three months, my peeling, torn nails are now almost as hard as acrylics.
My manicurist reccommended it to me & it's far superior to OPI, Essie, SH, anything & everything I've purchased at Sally's, etc.
I've heard the chemicals are a little...different than the other nail hardeners which don't work so well, but it's so worth it!

If you can find a way to keep this polish on your nails, the results will be amazing. I had a learning curve. After much experimentation, and a little patience, I found a combination that works for me. I�ve always had strong nails, but over the past couple of years I�ve noticed with frequent polish changes and using pure acetone, my nails would either break, peel and split. I tried different products and nothing really helped. I decided to try Rejuvacote because I figured I tried everything else, what�s one more product and another $20? After several attempts using it and trying to keep a manicure that didn�t peel or chip, I found what works for me. I change polish 2-3X a week. Here�s what I�m doing: basecoat is Sally Hansen Nail Quencher, two coats of coloured polish, one coat of Rejuvacote and then Seche Vite topcoat. I get 3 days wear before I want/need to change. Biggest change I�ve noticed is how strong my nails are and how much they�ve grown. I usually keep my nails short, but currently my nails have 4mm of growth. That is long for me. I�ve decided I�m going to see how long they will grow before breaking. I have found, finally, my HG nail strengthener and will definitely repurchase.

I was an avid nail biter all my life--nothing could stop me except acrylics. I wore those for about 15 years until I started getting tired of going to get a 'fill' all the time--2 hours of my life every two weeks. My friend recommended Rejuvacote to help me transition from fake to real nails. I dismissed her until she bought me a bottle. I applied as directed and my nails were so smooth and firm I had no urge to bite and had nice looking natural nails for the first time in my life!
However, I went on a cruise and forgot to bring my rejuvacote--didn't really think I needed it since my nails were looking so good. After the cruise I couldn't find it when I got home and just started using Sally Hansen Instant Nail Hardner as a (poor) substitute. Little by little, one by one over the coming weeks my nail started chipping and peeling, and getting snagged on things...If I didn't have a nail file nearby guess how I would eliminate this irritation...biting! Next thing you know I was in the vicious cycle of biting again. The snagging, peeling and hangnails just wouldn't stop, regardless of what type of "topcoat" or "hardeners" I used. I began to co-relate that the one and only time that my nails looked good and were strong enough to grow out was when I was using Rejuvacote. I began to tear the house upside down trying to find the damn thing. When I found it I remembered it was almost finished (which is why I didn't make it a priority to bring it on the cruise). I then had to stand there and wait for it to "fall" onto the nail brush so I could put it on my nails until the new batch I ordered from eBay arrived.
Moral of the story: I'm officially an addict. This stuff works great, but unfortunately you are dependent on using it for like, basically forever because a) when you stop using it your nails go back to their regular state which may or may not be crap and b) every other nail product will pale in comparison, so don't even think of building your nails up to a healthy strong place and trying to "maintain" with something cheaper and/or of less quality.
So this stuff works, but I feel like I might as well buy stocks in this stuff since it seems like I'm going to be a lifelong user. As for the cost, I got two bottles for the price of one on eBay. Yes I said two. This stuff now has to always have a surplus in my house like toilet paper and dishwashing soap.

This is one fantastic product!! I really started to use this recently thinking it'll be a terrible polish/base/top whatever! How wrong was I in assuming such thing!! Till one day I decided to give it a go so I applied it just like the instructions say. I put it on as a base, then my own colour of not sure what brand I used (any one works with this really, nails inc, ciate, you name it!), then I used this as a top coat. And I noticed how fast my nails had dried, and how durable they felt. You know when you just applied your polish and even after like half an hour if you push a nail through another nail (I know it may not make sense!) and you can see the dent, well not with this, it dries to like plastic. It's great, and of course the whole purpose of this is to grow your nails.. Well this definitely lived through to the promise (even though I'd be happy even if it didn't!), and my nails are much stronger now, and the white tip is a lot whiter, and in general my nails look really healthy and strong!

This really does make my nails hard, and my nails are growing (finally). I have found that it takes several coats applied pretty thickly to work, and even then it chips from the tips. It is still the best nail growth/hardening formula that I have found, so I will continue to buy.

After years of acrylic I decided it was time to let go. I was going back to my natural nails. I had my tips soaked off and my nails were left soft, thin and weak. Not pretty. Someone suggested Rejuvacote so I gave it a shot. It is a light pink polish, priced $12 a bottle and it is a miracle worker. It really helped my nails grow and become much stronger. Highly recommended!

Cora is turning women's time of the month into a power movement
I love that Cora is thinking really big from the beginning. Cora is a new company striving to blend a social change movement with a snappy subscription plan -- all around that healthy monthly ritual of menstruation.
Its "woman-to-woman, month-to-month" program means that for every month that you are subscribed for Cora, a young woman in India gets a month worth of menstrual products, too -- so she can keep going to school. Check out the video, it says it all!

Looking good. Interestingly it appears to be after some point in time when the Avengers have disbanded. It obviously looks quite inspired by the movie with the members, not at all like a sequel to EMH.
I've heard it claimed that it's in continuity with EMH, but this trailer makes that seem unlikely. EMH's Falcon was very different from this guy, a more serious, tough character voiced by
's Lance Reddick. I'm wondering if it might relate to EMH the way
Spider-Man Unlimited
related to its predecessor animated series back in the '90s -- ambiguous about its relationship to the previous show so that it gives the impression of a connection at first but is really a distinct continuity.
For what it's worth, I gather the characters have the same voices they had in
Ultimate Spider-Man
(at least for those who've appeared there), which raises the question of whether it's in continuity with that.
I wonder how much this is connected to the movie, and if will hint towards Avengers 2 which out in 2015?
Probably not at all. It gives the impression that the Avengers were a going concern for a while before they finally disbanded. In the Cinematic Universe, the Avengers disbanded right after the Battle of New York. So it wouldn't work as the same continuity. Most likely the only connection is that it uses the same characters. Animated tie-ins to movies often use the same basic characters and elements while going their own way continuity-wise. Like the way
Batman: The Animated Series
used Tim Burton-style designs for Penguin and Catwoman even though its versions of those characters were (thankfully) very different from Burton's.

The trail has an asphalt surface and is popular with both hikers and bicyclists. If you travel in a counter clockwise direction, you will walk through a section of mature river hills hardwood forest, complete with pawpaw, white oaks, sycamores and more. The second half of the trail gradually climbs

The photos currently listed on this page are not of the paved bicycle trail. The paved bike trail is very nice for walkers and bikers a-like. At the TH there are bathrooms and water fountains for people and dogs! The trail is very scenic and for almost the entire trail you are covered by a tree-top canopy. This can be good or bad. April - May the ticks are insane and be careful that you don't walk into spider webs. Great trail - very popular so there are always bikers, runners, and families on the trail. If your dog gets too excited seeing other dogs or people this isn't the trail for you because you will run into a lot of people, during certain hours. In the spring and fall after 4 during the week and all weekend the paved trail is busy

As a hiker, I would not recommend this trail, since it's paved and not the prettiest at the park, but it's still a nice track and likely awesome for biking.

Hong Kong climate
Hong Kong can be visited at any time of year but autumn (October to November) and spring (March and May) are when the weather is most pleasant with average high temperatures around 24 to 28 degrees. From May to September it can be quite hot and humid, with average high temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius with 95 per cent humidity. It can also rain heavily during this period, for all these reasons picking up cheap flights to Hong Kong may be rare.
Getting around Hong Kong
Public transport is good in Hong Kong and getting around easy.
Rail: There are two types of trains, the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), which primarily runs underground and has six lines. This is fast and efficient and also connects the airport to downtown. Overground trains run on the Kowloon-Canton railway, which is mainly used by commuters.
Tram: The famous peak tram runs up The Peak, climbing 1224ft. A trip up here is a must for tourists to see the city laid-out at your feet. There are also commuter trams running along the north part of the island.
Ferries: Many ferries run across the harbour and connecting Hong Kong to China. This is one of the most pleasant ways to get around.
What's the Best way to Reach City Centre from the Airport?
The Airport Express train is one of the best ways to travel from the airport into the city centre, with trains every ten minutes taking 24 minutes. Discounts are often available if tickets are booked in advance. Buses offer a scenic and reasonably priced alternative – visitors should look out for the "A" buses designed for tourists and the slower "E" buses. There are also taxis available, though these can be expensive.
Hong Kong insider information
- To escape the hustle of the city, head to Kowloon Park – take the subway to Tsim Sha Tsui. The park contains a bird lake, with hundreds of colourful flamingos, Bainiao Garden, a football field, children's playground, banyan courtyard and a sculpture park. The park is open every day except Fridays. On Sundays various groups gather to practice martial arts or dance. A stroll through gives an excellent flavour of the many activities taking place in the city.
- One of the best views in Hong Kong is also accessible from Kowloon park. Head through the park past the bird sanctuary and over the bridge to a pier lit by fairy lights. From the very end of the pier, Hong Kong island is laid out in front of you, to the left are cruise ships in the harbour, and to the right the developments taking place on the reclaimed land.
- Shopping for electronics: Sham Sui Po has the greatest and cheapest computer accessories you'll ever find. Head for the computer hardware store just by the metro. The basement has an assortment of gadgets for computers – from those you've always wanted, to those you never knew you needed but just can't leave behind.
- Entrance to all museums is free on Wednesdays. One of the biggest and best is the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, which has exhibitions on HK's history, art and culture.
- To visit beaches, depart from Sai Kung, from where you can reach almost any beautiful island you want. Just take one of the boats and spend a day relaxing.
- It's not the cheapest city to eat or drink in. To save money if you're female, however, head for bars on "Ladies Nights" – most bars have these and it means free entrance and free drinks for women all night long. Wan Chai is the centre of the nightlife region. For celebrity-spotting, hit the Dragon, a favoured nightclub with the rich and famous. Needless to say, there is a strict dress code and door policy

Reviewer: Holly M.Vest recommended! - first of all a few things about me: i like good equipment, i research to find the best of quality and cost (without skimping), i am in my 40s, in good shape but could loose a few ), and im a water baby. so.... i went to several dive shops and looked extensively online for a snorkeling vest. this vest is one of the best i was able to find in craftsmanship, material, and cost. the material is soft and very sturdy with durable stitching and sealing. the neck area is open and comfortable. i found the shape of the neck opening much more comfortable than other snorkeling vests ive worn. nothing rubbed by body or arms. the vest is light weight so if youre packing for a plane ride its all...View Full Review
Reviewer: Jung K.One less hose, but could be better - The Oceanic Air XS II works just as advertised. It was relatively easy for me to replace the inflator on my BC. My BC must have come with a slightly different hose than the Air XS was meant for. The Air XS came with a clip thats supposed to cover the hose connector, but it wont fit on my hose. The inflator and the purge valve are easy to find. But the dump button is kind of small and will take some time for me to locate without looking. I am happy with the Air XS II and very happy to get rid of one hose. Im sorry I waited so long to make the change.
Reviewer: Robert RiddleGreat mounting system! - I only recently discovered the Zip-Mount system. For some reason it is rarely publicized. The salesmen at our local Zeagle dealer had never even heard of it. Ive bought a pair of 3cf SpareAirs for my buddy and myself and wed never found a satisfactory way of mounting them. Putting them on the front of the BC leaves them constantly in the way. And putting mounts on the BC tank band causes problems with the tank mounts on most dive boats. Dry runs showed us that getting the SpareAirs out of and back into mounts on the tank straps was extremely difficult. The ZipMount SpareAir sleeve puts the unit more on the side. It is out of the way but does not interfere with boat tank...View Full Review
Reviewer: Dan G.good buy - great item to add your list. it reduces a lot of clutter because your octo stays right with your inflater hose instead of dragging on the bottom and it is one less hose to worry about. you figure with the amount of equipment you have to dive with anything you can eliminate is a plus.
Reviewer: Michael S.Snorkelling Confidence Restored - We just came back from Roatan where I tried this vest for the first time. Im extremely happy with it! ! I love snorkeling but Im not a strong swimmer and had a bad experience snorkeling in choppy waters a couple of years ago. This vest allowed me to stand up in deeper water when I needed to make adjustments to my mask and snorkel. Also,when snorkeling I feel more confident with the extra buoyancy the blow up feature gives. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it does ride up a bit, but its a small price to pay for the benefits. My husband got an extra large, and I got a large. Sizing is fine for us. Jean S. Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Reviewer: Ron D.Very handy, time saving, tool to have - I travel for almost all of my diving and Im fairly OCD about rinsing my gear after each dive. But when I get home I give everything one last good rinsing & dry before storing it until my next trip. I tend to spend extra time making sure I have all the salt and other contaminants rinsed out of my BCDs bladder. The washout hose from XS Scuba saves me a lot of time doing this. Its simple to attach to a garden hose and goes right on the inflator of my BCD. Be sure to have the water turned off until youve attached the house to your BCD or water will spray out of the washout hose. My perferred method is to attach the washout hose to my BCD, put a 1/2 cap full of BCD wash in the house,...View Full Review
Reviewer: Wendy O.Good vest but some adjustment problems - im a novice snorkeler so it may be my lack of experience that caused adjustment problems with this vest. it performed well and did the jobim not a strong swimmer and need the added buoyancy to feel safe in the water and it provided it well. however, i had trouble keeping the vest from shifting side to side when it was inflated. ive only used it once so i plan on fussing with the straps next time. it may need to be tighter than i had it. it seems to be a high-quality vesti hope i can get it to stay put a little better next time.
Reviewer: Erik G.Zeagle Stiletto Bladder Review - Scuba Gear Reviews - Wanted a bladder for my Zeagle Tech BC that was better suited/more manageable for single tank diving. This fit my harness perfectly and performed great, which is what Ive come to expect from Zeagle products. A lot less drag from the big 65 lb lift wing that came standard. Highly recommended if your looking to make your kit more modular based on dive needs!
Reviewer: Donald DutcherAtomic SS1 Titanium Octo - Outstanding Reg - I bought this because I needed an alternate air source for my travel rig. What I liked most was the fact that the regulator was removeable and using attachments you can change it to a different BC without having to cut the bands off every time. Also that you can remove it for travel. I did 7 dives in the Caymans with this reg as my octo. At times during the dives, I intentionally switched over to it and it performed flowlessly. It breaths as good as the name brand regs I have used and it cleared easily, even at 105 feet. Although I have not yet tried it in cold water, I have no dought it will work fine. BOTTOM LINE - this is the best alternate reg ive used. This is my first...View Full Review
Reviewer: Billy M.These clips are great. - when we boat dive, its far easier to clip our bcs off to a floating line in the water, put on our drysuits, mask, and fins on deck, and then finish suiting up in the water. one problem that arises sometimes is that regulator hoses, computer hoses, or drysuit inflator hoses can end up tucked in behind your back or under your cumberbund. i put one clip on a d-ring on the lower part of each of my bc straps (two clips total), and clip all of the hoses to the d-rings before i begin donning the bc. inflator hose and computer hose on left, main regulator and safe-second regulator hoses on the right. now all of the hoses are kept in line with the bc straps while i fasten the cumberbund and the...View Full Review
Reviewer: Keven AcostaNice - Heres the deal. if you dive alot and in differant waters (warm to cold) this is a cool product. when going from a 3mm to a 7mm this can be a big help. add your wt. to the trim pouch and keep it in your dive bag, when you switch to 7mm add your trim pouch and after your bouancy check, your off. Also good for divers that need just a little help keeping their upper body down
Reviewer: Richard HaltrichQuest is over - I had purchased a Mini Hammerhead several years ago. It just recently starting having leakage problems. To my dismay I wasnt able to find someone to repair it. I also was not able to locate another one till now. It is a GREAT attention getter under water. So far no one has complained about its use. As for the Dive Alert, lets just say this, It has saved me twice from being left behind.. It really works. Now the best of both worlds in one instrument. GREAT Job!!!!!
Reviewer: Michael DyerSturdy weight bag - Got this when it was on one of the email specials. Was just throwing the weights in the back of my car, but this makes life so much simpler to keep them all together and easy to carry. I have about 30 lbs of assorted weights in the bag and it doesnt show any signs of wear or deterioration after several months of use and over 20 dives. Definitely recommend this if you like to have different assorted sized weights with you and want a secure easy way to cary them to the dive site!

Alan Wake
I found Alan Wake to be a mixed bag. I loved the gameplay and mystery introduced in the very first episode. I liked exploring Bright Falls and meeting the colourful characters. The only minor issue I had at the time was Alice Wake's lip syncing; it was slightly off compared to everyone else.
Unfortunately, I found that the other episodes simply didn't match the excitement and awe I felt in the very first episode.
The gameplay became stagnant very quickly. In every episode, Alan loses his guns and flashlights at least once. I was hoping for varied weapons and chances for the player to be creative with the different light sources. I tend to stockpile the flares and grenades I receive for harder enemies or getting rushed by large mobs, so it's bit annoying to keep losing them.
This leads me onto my next issue - the enemies were not particularly challenging. As mentioned before, I didn't use my flares and grenades as much since it was fairly easy to take them down. Even the Taken vehicles require the same amount of light to defeat as a Taken person. After a while, killing huge swathes of Taken became a little repetitive, especially since there wasn't a great variety of enemies or methods to take them out.
Picking up the manuscripts seemed like a good idea at first, since it gave an insight into the other characters� thoughts and motivations. However, it ruined any tension built in a cut scene or during gameplay since I knew what was going to happen next. I also feel that the writing for those manuscripts could have been improved. For example, I really enjoyed reading Karim�s dreams from Lost Odyssey. The translator did a great job in making them sound like genuine short, descriptive stories.
There were no memorable gameplay moments for me. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is a very plot heavy game, but there are a lot of vivid gameplay moments I can remember � for example, hiding in a locker as the camera switches to first person view so you can see the soldiers looking for Snake through the slats. I think a lot of my disappointment stems from the game not delivering the scares or having enough unique and challenging puzzles. The final boss was also a bit of a let-down, it wasn't quite as difficult as I thought it was going to be.
However, I did like final part of the game when Alan has to go to the Dark Place. I liked seeing the words Alan was typing floating in the air and using the flashlight to create the objects being described. I thought it was very creative and creepy.
Despite not being overly enthused with the gameplay, I still enjoyed the storyline and exploring Bright Falls. I found the ending very confusing however. It seemed rushed and was a very abrupt finish. My copy of Alan Wake does not have The Writer DLC, which seems to explain the ending. It�s a shame really, because I saw the trailer for Alan Wake�s American Nightmare and thought the premise was interesting. However I don�t think I'll be playing that soon. I just wish the rest of the game was as intriguing as the very first episode.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Dectective
This is one of the most enjoyable games I've played on the DS this year. I was hooked straight from the start with its cast of colourful characters and crazy yet enthralling, storyline. It's a puzzle game but Shu Takumi has put his own spin on it.
Sissel is a snarky ghost that can rewind time by four minutes and manipulate objects. He has no idea who he is, who killed him and why. His best chance to solve the mystery is to follow Lynne, a rookie detective who was also at the scene of the crime. However, it's a race against time because Sissel has to solve it before dawn before he fades away by then. A lot of people die in this game and Sissel has to use his ghost tricks to rewind time and avert their fate. Along the way, the mystery deepens and the plot twists and turns. Seriously, the plot is fantastic. I was literally glued to the DS for the whole day, wanting to know happened next.
There is a lot of trial and error in this game. A lot of the time I had worked out how to manipulate objects and realised the timing was a bit off. Luckily the characters give you clues and you can rewind time over and over again. If you have changed the fate of a person slightly then that becomes a check point and you can start from that point again if you do something wrong. I think the only time this didn't work well, was when you have to save the justice minister from dying of a heart attack. If you didn't move to the correct object before �FATE CHANGED' rolled across the screen, you had to start from the beginning anyway.
The music for this game is excellent and really adds to the tension as you try to work out how to save the person. I particularly enjoyed the
submarine segment
and the part where you have to
save the inspector
. Ghost Trick also has an amazing, colourful cast of characters each with their own humorous quirks. The animation is fluid and brilliantly done, such as Bailey the guard's panic dance or Inspector Cabenela's constant moon walking.
My favourite characters were Sissel for his sarcastic remarks and Missile, the overly enthusiastic Pomeranian. He�s such an endearing character and his dialog is just perfect. It�s exactly how I would imagine a dog would speak and talk. I also think that Sissel�s amnesia was handled really well and successfully engages the player to his predicament. Another character that deserves a mention is Yomiel, who started off as a scary character then turned out to be a tragic one. When he first appeared to Inspector Cabenela I had goosebumps.
My only criticism of the game is that the other ghost tricks the player could use were introduced quite late in the game. There could have been more variations in the puzzles earlier on. Also, it�s a bit pricey for a DS game that really hasn�t got any replay value. I think it might have been better at a cheaper price on the iOS. [Edit: Sorry, it is available at �6.99 on the iOS.]
As mentioned before, the storyline was engaging. At first, I didn't like the ending, but then I realised that all along, there were clues that Sissel wasn't a human ghost. I would love a Ghost Trick 2, but I do wonder how they can show Sissel without ruining the first Ghost Trick for newcomers. Perhaps there could be a new ghost character being shown the ropes by a black cat that refuses to tell its name?

So I finally got round to playing Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 was a very enjoyable game. It�s very atmospheric in the beginning levels, particularly at the start when Issac is stuck in a straightjacket and must dodge the necromorphs. This was such a strong opening and the game continued increasing the tension and fear up until the second half, which unfortunately, did not meet the standards set in the first half.
While the game does not have any backtracking, I did notice that events forced Issac and Ellie to revisit areas again. (Not the Ishimura, because I haven't played the first Dead Space. I mean areas like the shopping mall.) This is even commented on in-game. Ellie actually says to Issac, �We�ve been going around in circles!� I feel that the game could have benefited from being shorter.
I'm primarily a console gamer and Dead Space 2 is the first game I've played on the PC, which meant for the first three chapters I was wasn't controlling Issac with ease and rapidly shooting enemies like a pro. Not that I play like a pro normally, anyway. Nope, I was mostly flailing about; moving around so tortuously slowly it would put a tortoise weighed down by heavy shopping bags to shame.
I am aware that it is possible to complete the game in a shorter time thanks to hardcore mode, where the player only has three saves and must rely on checkpoints. If I had an Xbox copy of the game, I think I might have attempted this (after practicing on zealot mode).
It's a scary game but it's not survival horror. I'm not scrabbling around for supplies as enemies drop a lot of them anyway. The game does like to leave you running into empty rooms and empty corridors for a long time before they drop a load of crazy, frothing necromorphs at you.
The graphics and design are amazing. The necromorphs are disgusting and horrifying. Their limbs are bent and shaped at odd angles and some of them vomit on you to slow you down. The creepiest ones I thought were the Stalkers and the Guardians. With Stalkers, it�s the not the rushing that creeps me out, it�s the way the head peeks slyly behind a box or wall, looks at you, turns to another Stalker and then lets out a cry before running at you. They communicate with each other and use group tactics to try and take you out.
The Guardian is just disgusting to look at; a human attached to wall with tentacles flailing from a cavity in the stomach. It�s constantly crying out in pain before spewing out smaller monsters that can attack at a distance.
Funnily enough, I found Nicole, Issac�s girlfriend to be the creepiest thing of all. I was never sure if she was real or a Marker-induced hallucination. I think it gave an insight to Issac�s character, since it made clear that he suffered from a lot of guilt over her death and was angry at himself for not saving her. I know some people thought he was a whiny character, but I thought he was a strong character. As a comparison, I thought Marcus Fenix from Gears of War 3 was a lot more annoying after Don�s death. Whereas Issac tried his best to cope with the flasbacks and hallucinations, he didn�t burden anyone else with his problems and tried to help others as well as trying to find a way of the situation he was placed in. He was calm to Ellie and only killed Stross because of the Marker influencing him. Marcus, on the other hand, let his temper out on others and felt his grief over Don was far more important than anyone else�s problems. He got angry at a man who lost his whole village to the lambent infestation!
Another thing that was creepy was the NoonTech Diagnostic Machine. It involves sticking a needle into Issac�s eye just to get Marker information. A needle! In your eye! That�s just wrong, and it�s just painful to think about.
On a side note, I thought Issac Clarke was named after the scientis Issac Newton, who apparently did stick a darning needle in his eye until he poked the backside, in order to study optics. But he�s really named after the science fiction author.
My favourite levels were the Church of Unitology levels and the nursery levels. The Church of Unitology is made up of empty church pews and vestries splattered with blood, with monsters crawling in the darkness while angelic statues gaze serenely at the ceiling. Accompanying this scene is a recorded message on a loop, detailing the church's belief that humans will be eventually unified into one conscious. On top of all that, Issac gets debilitating flashbacks every so often. The nursery levels are equally creepy and the bright, cheery atmosphere is slightly jarring. It�s like N�s room in Pok�mon Black and White turned up to eleven or something. Also, baby necromorphs are just horrifying.
The transition between cutscenes and gameplay was seamless, though it was so good that sometimes I didn�t realise I had control of Issac until I actually died. I also wish there was a bit more focus between the two factions: EarthGov and the Church of Unitology. There could have been a great science vs religion subplot going on there. However it might have been covered in the text and audio logs, which I didn�t pick enough of.
As mentioned previously, I�m a console gamer, and I found using keyboard controls on the PC a bit difficult. I couldn�t switch between weapons quick enough and I found it hard to tell what weapon was assigned to what key. At the start, I was using the Plasma Cutter, Bloody Flamethrower Triage javelin gun and Agility Rivet Gun. By the end I had switched to the Plasma Rifle and Line Gun. The Seeker Rifle was only useful for the zero gravity levels in order to take out the nest at a distance. I like that each weapon has alternate fire, and I started using kenesis and stasis a lot more. Necromorphs do drop a lot of ammo, so there�s none of the tension with conserving ammo and scrabbling for supplies.
Overall, I did enjoy the game, I did find some parts of it genuinely scary and I will probably get Dead Space 3 and 1 on the Xbox. I'm particularly intrigued by the co-op mode - I hope the atmosphere will be maintained and that the new necromorphs will need proper teamwork to take them out. What do you guys think?

Somethinginthesea.com � Here we go AGAIN!
Well somethinginthesea.com has recently updated to Mark Meltzer�s study. Normal enough you might think, except for a pretty weird, evil-loooking lunchbox near the side of his desk. In case you haven�t looked at the site recently, Mark Meltzer is the bloke who�s investigating these abductions of little girls around the world.
When we last left him, he had taken a very blurry picture of the Big Sister, which might been exciting in itself if it weren�t for Game Informer plastering a great big picture of her literally days before the reveal on the site.
Anyway, after that, a year has passed (1968) and his own daughter got kidnapped by the Big Sister. His wife divorces him, blaming Mark and his crazy research. He�s then sent to a mental facility. When Mark gets out he goes to track the Big Sister down for REVENGE and because he wants his daughter back. He tracks her to Hudson River in New York and traps her in a net. Which clearly isn�t effective because she slices through it and then smashes his leg, breaks his ribs and leaves 16 stitches on his neck.
Now, the Big Sister has broken into his office and left the weirdo lunchbox there. Meltzer thinks it�s a BOMB, though why he doesn�t get rid of it is anyone guess. It�s up to you to unlock this strange box/BOMB thing.
Which is something I have been trying to do, for about 2 hours now, gnashing my teeth in frustration and wasting loads of paper in the process. Mind you, I could just wait for someone else to post the correct combination on the net, but then that�s cheating isn�t it?
In any case I think it could make a great Collector�s Edition Box for Bioshock 2. And I personally think it�s a bit more intriguing then whatever heck Kojima�s doing.
EDIT: According to people clearly much more used to code cracking over at 2K forums, the message on the back of the box is (it repeats over and over again):
I can't rember my birthday do you remember my birthday I have a new birthday
Except no-one really knows what Big Sister's birthday is.

Bioshock 2 site � What the hell is going on?
I�ve been checking out
, and someone has managed to hack the map.
hacked map was posted on the day of the site�s launch, and so far, all the updates match this map.
However, the single unmarked X in the middle is not Rapture. If you remember, the co-ordinates of Rapture
were given in the first game (the flashbacks during the would you kindly reveal): 63� 2' N, 29� 55' W. Putting
the co-ordinates into Google map shows this:
What the X actually seems to mark, is the hypothetical location of Atlantis:
Also, the latest updates reveal that that the kidnapper can leap out of a 3rd storey building. At first I thought
the kidnapper was a lonely Big Daddy, but I really can�t imagine a Big Daddy leaping, can you?
EDIT: The site has updated again.

Interesting Game Art I found
I found some game art while browsing the net, and thought you guys might want to see them:
This was pretty much the only image that would fit here. I thought it was very creepy, having the Jasmine Jolene poster in the background while Andrew Ryan is murdering her.
Atlas Bloodied
I always thought his hair was brown, but most Atlas fan art portray him with blonde hair. It's just a very striking picture.
The brother of Chuck Norris
I don't know if you've seen this one before, but i liked the caption.
Fallout 3 poster
More Fallout 3 art
I haven't played Fallout 3 yet, but I really want to, it looks awesome.

Feminists hate Bioshock! (SPOILERS)
This is an actual real post on some blog I came across while browsing on the Internet. I actually had to check to make sure I wasn't reading a part of Jim Sterling's Ban this Filth article.
Misogyny Has a New Game: Bioshock
That's right. Hiding underneath all the accolades and slick marketing lies something much more sinister within — misogyny. Unlike most nefarious games, Bioshock starts off relatively benign. Only when your character acquires new weapons; called "plasmids", does the misogynistic world of Rapture become embarrassingly obvious. You see, every plasmid comes with a tutorial demonstrating its abilities. In each video, players are treated to watching a poor innocent woman being eviscerated by a patriarchal, plasmid-wielding woman-hater.
Not even one paragraph in and you're writing utter bullocks already.
References alluding to male privilege are laced throughout; the victim is always dressed as a housewife (misogynists love their women subservient) and overtly feminine, the male assailant is always seen with a smug grin of satisfaction as he overpowers the "uppity" woman. Even the presentation is done in a stylized 1940's manner, referring to an era in which women were seen as property.
Well, that's because Rapture was opened in 1942. So what the hell were you expecting? You're even saying that it's typical of the era!
Later on in the game, you'll cross paths with Bridgette Tenenbaum, the only female character in the game.
Well done on completing the first 15 mintues. Now go off, finish the whole game and then then tell me how me how many female characters there are. 'Cause if you're including the Audio Diaries and the splicers then it's a hell of a lot.
She's given very little screen time and is quickly relinquished as a babysitter for the children of Rapture, dubbed as "Little Sisters". It's disappointing to see a strong woman reduced to servitude but not surprisingly unexpected.
You know, as shocking as this may sound, there ARE women out there who enjoy looking after kids and are happy being a housewife. Tenenbaum chose to do it, she wasn't forced to. And why do you make the idea of looking after kids sound demeaning, anyway?
After playing Bioshock, I can only ask what kind of depraved individual could come up with such trash in today's modern, gender-blind society? Kev Levine, Bioshock's designer has often cited the philosophy of Objectivism as a major influence in his life and from this confession, I've been given the explanation for Bioshock's sexism.
Except it's not sexist - most of the male characters are portrayed in a negative light.
You're just bashing a game so you can promote your little feminist agenda. The ability of people to act like total morons on the net never fails to astound me.

Wait, I have to wait longer for my video games?!
According to the ever reliable Daily Mail, the video game classification system used in the UK is getting a complete overhaul. The current European one, PEGI (Pan European Game Information) is apparently, too confusing.
Yes, it really is.
Instead, they're going to use cinema style warnings instead. Hang on...
Now, seeing as I own a Wii and XBox 360, it seems as though the Wii uses the European system, while Xbox uses the cinema/DVD style ones. I don't know what the PS3 uses, so can anyone tell me?
Now this is because, and I quote :
"Youngsters are using online auction sites such as eBay to buy games intended for adults, including Manhunt, Grand Theft Auto, Godfather and Hitman, which are all rated 18. Dr Byron found that many children outwit their parents about
confusing and badly-signalled information
on games packaging. She warned the Government that allowing children to play on computers unsupervised is as dangerous as letting them play outside on their own."
I'm sorry, did you find both packaging confusing and badly signalled? Is playing Halo 3 unsupervised really as dangerous as crossing the busy main road and swinging on a tyre swing in my park?
But the real reason that this annoys me is because of this :
"The world's largest games developer, Electronic Arts, said the new scheme would be confusing for parents and would lead to games being released later in Britain than in the rest of the world."
Argh! Not only is it annoying for gamers in the UK, but surely this is saying that parents are as blind as bats or numerically illiterate or something that is unable to decipher age ratings on a box!

The obligatory intro post - hi guys!
Actually, I should have done this a lot earlier. Oh well.
I'm Infinitestrike and I'm from the UK. My gaming history basically started with a Sega Mega Drive, followed by the PS1, PS2, Gamecube, GBA SP, DS, Wii and now 2 months ago, I got an XBox 360. I guess my favourite games are the Metal Gear series, Devil May Cry series, Bioshock, Crash Bandicoot series (PS1), Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Gears of War and Halo.
Uh, What else?
My favourite boss fights are The End, Psycho Mantis and General RAM. My favourite levels to explore would probably be any of the planets in Mario Galaxy.
I'm currently playing Call of Duty 4 and Orange Box.
I guess that's about it really. I'm not very good at these intro posts. I'm never really sure what to write about myself. I suppose this will do for now.

Look, it's PG Bioshock!
Well, not really. It's for some movie called City of Ember. But the style they've chosen to create the city looks a bit like Bioshock, doesn't it?
Speaking of Bioshock, I was playing it on Easy mode today (it really is disgustingly easy compared to hard mode) while my cousin watched. As she is about the same age as Little Sister, her reaction to harvesting or rescuing was quite interesting. She told me to harvest them because they were "creepy." I would have thought that little kids would chosen the "rescue" option, but apparently that isn't the case. When I looked up other articles on Bioshock, I was quite surprised to see reviewers say "oh my 8 year old son/daughter came across me playing Bioshock and told me to harvest them." I don't know if this is is a universal thing, and I wouldn't advise anyone to park their little siblings/cousins/neighbours in front of Bioshock just to see their response to this, but it's just a random thought of the day.
Also, if you are interested in plastic surgery, you probably wouldn't want to go to this guy:

The start of the affair: Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 2 (or Bare Knuckle 2, as it was known in Japan) was one of the first games I had ever played on the Sega Mega Drive. The first thing I noticed upon starting the game with my brother was that the characters on the select screen looked nothing like how they were portrayed on the box.
After actually starting the game properly, though, it was a blast.
The basic premise was this – your friend has been kidnapped so go kick ass. You were dropped into a variety of environments, ranging from the streets, to construction sites, to beaches and jungles. You could dispatch enemies using hand-to-hand combat or with weapons lying about on the floor – knives, lead pipes, katanas or even bombs enemies threw at you. You had to be quick though, or it would blow off in your hand.
It was ridiculously fun beating the crap out of the low-lives terrorising the city, especially on co-op mode. I'm not lying when I say that Streets of Rage 2 might have actually taught us the value of teamwork. Enemies could drop down on you from anywhere and you had to watch each other's backs, especially if you had low continues.
The bosses were pretty nuts – ranging from obese baseball fans that liked to belly flop on top of you to guys on jetpacks whizzing just out of range and robots. Annoying little buggers they were as well, thanks to their small habit of self-destructing whenever they were about to die and their constant jumping around.
Streets of Rage 2 was not the first game we'd ever played. No, the first game we'd ever played fleetingly was Sonic the Hedgehog. But Streets of Rage 2 was the first game we had ever
. Giving that last punch to Mr X and watching him fall down in slow-mo was incredibly satisfying. So satisfying in fact, it gave us the determination and drive to complete the other games we'd got – Sonic, Rolling Thunder 2, Road Rash 2 etc. Most importantly, though, Streets of Rage 2 showed me that games could be fun and rewarding.
Oh, and yes, I'm new around here. Hi.

My favourite boss fights are The End, Psycho Mantis and General RAM. My favourite levels to explore would probably be any of the planets in Mario Galaxy.

If you only need to split one signal in two, RCA splitters are the simplest, least expensive solution. I've been using Radio Shack RCA splitters for a couple months without any complaints at all. I'd be impressed if you could notice any differences between the split signal and the unsplit. Buy the switchbox only if you have too much money in your wallet, dislike simple and effective solutions, or have multiple inputs and outputs to manage.
