Israel launches new media campaign to justify Gaza onslaught
Wed Nov 21, 2012 10:52PM
The campaign is led by the Israeli military as part of its psychological warfare to justify the deadly offensive against Gaza, which has left over 160 Palestinians dead and 12,000 more injured since November 14.The military is also circulating video clips against the Palestinian Hamas movement on the internet. Tens of thousands of people have viewed these videos, with one of the clips registering 125,000 views. The campaign is apparently meant to distort the success of Palestinian fighters in standing up against Tel Aviv's aggressions and in proving that Israel's missile shield system, Iron Dome, is permeable to Palestinian rockets.

Bedford police and fire departments are seeing an increase in traffic accidents, especially along heavily traveled roads. On Friday, June 21, police and fire/rescue responded to several accidents, all within a few miles of each other.
�Last Friday, we had three motor vehicle accidents back to back to back,� said Bedford Fire Deputy Chief Mark Klose.
On South River Road at Rite Aid, fire and rescue responded to a car accident that sent one patient to Catholic Medical Center.

At about 12:47 p.m. on June 21, Bedford police responded to a two-car accident at the intersection of South River Road and Colby Court. A 2005 Dodge van driven by John Defren of Manchester and a 2010 Subaru driven by Vernon Breen of South Burlington, Vt. No injuries were reported.
Another accident occurred at 1:23 p.m. at the intersection of County Road and Liberty Hill Road. Police investigated a two-car accident involving a 2012 Mazda 3 driven by Jacquelyn Huppi of Merrimack. The second vehicle was a 2005 GMC Sierra operated by a juvenile. No injuries were reported.

Re: Airport transfer from Barca to Tossa for 12 adults
no railway in Tossa.
I assume you land BCN airport

According to www.mobilitat.net
you could take a train -change in Sants- to Blanes
and then bus to TdM

Re: Airport transfer from Barca to Tossa for 12 adults
I am not sure whether you are going straight froim the airpost but it looks like you will need to go into Barcelona then get a bus direct to Tossa By Bus which is what we did.
Catch the bus leaving Placa Catalunya run by Sarfa. The bus runs about once every hour starting at 8am, last bus back at 8pm. Tickets are 7,80 one way or 15,60 return. Journey takes 1h 20min. You can find the full time table at www.barcelonanord.com.
Have fun, Tossa has great beaches and fantastic food if you search around.
Best wishes

Re: Airport transfer from Barcelona to Tossa for 7 adults
Hi Harry
Did you have any luck last month with a recommended minibus company? We're a group of 7 and I'm hoping a minibus or people carrier would be cheaper than two taxis. Any idea of cost or who to ask?

Reed rolls at Red BudPublished 4:49pm Thursday, July 7, 2011
BUCHANAN — Mother Nature herself couldn't keep thousands of motocross fans from ascending on the hallowed grounds of Red Bud MX in Buchanan over the holiday weekend for the annual Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship.
Friday brought a full day of rain to the area, which canceled the amateur racing on the pro track, and Saturday brought temperatures that exceeded 90 degrees, but that didn't stop the record crowd of more than 30,000 people from witnessing Chad Reed, Blake Baggett and Ashley Fiolek claim overall championships in the 38th annual Rockstar Energy Drink Red Bud National.
Red Bud was the sixth stop on the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross schedule and Reed had already laid claim to three overall victories. With a solid first place finish in the first 450 motocross of the day, his third place finish in the second 450 moto was enough to edge out reigning series champion, and defending Red Bud champion, Ryan Dungey, who placed second in both motos. Ryan Villopoto, who crashed during the first moto and finished ninth, recovered to win the second moto and claim the overall third place rounding out the podium in the 450 class.
"I got a good start (in Moto 2) and got into third," said Reed. "Dungey made some mistakes and I tried to get by, but then I made mistakes and (Mike) Alessi passed me. At that point I knew I had to just settle down and be smart. I actually learned a lot today. I got my butt kicked last week, and we worked on suspension. Each time I went out on the track today, it was different. I learned a lot about my bike, and a lot about myself as a person about the decisions I need to make on race days."
Reed holds onto a 16-point lead over Villopoto in the series standings at the halfway point.
For Dungey it was his second runner-up finish on the season.
"I felt good today," said Dungey. "It was just a little unfortunate. I wanted to run in contention with Villopoto, but I wasn't making it happen. Now we've got a week to work on things and get better. We'll just keep plugging away. At this point, points are valuable. We're halfway now. I can't get stuck behind like that. I need to get up and go."
In the 250 motocross class it was a trio of Monster Energy Kawasakis that dominated the day with Blake Baggett and teammate Dean Wilson finishing first and second respectively in both motos and overall, while fellow teammate Tyla Rattray captured third overall grabbing the last podium spot.
In the first moto Baggett capitalized on a Justin Barcia crash as he moved up to second then chased down Ryan Sipes to take the lead and he never looked backed. In the second moto Baggett took over the lead by the end of the first lap as he led wire to wire. With the two wins on the day Baggett leads the series with seven moto victories in 12races.
"Going 1-1 is a pretty good day I'd say," said Baggett. "The championship is still really far out. Neither of my teammates has had a bad race yet, but if they do, I want to be there to capitalize. I just want to be there in the end, and if it happens, it happens. No matter what, I'm going to give it my all."
Despite his series leading seven moto victories, Baggett still trails his teammate Wilson by 14 points for the series championship.
For the second consecutive year the women's championship series converged on Red Bud and in the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Women's Motocross Championship it was American Honda's Ashley Fiolek who stole the show. Fiolek, who was clearly the fan favorite, raced to two first place finishes to claim the overall No. 1 spot.
The two wins helped extend her points lead to eight points over defending series champion Jessica Patterson, who finished second overall with two second place finishes on the day. Wrapping up the podium for the women was Tarah Geiger with third place finishes in both motos.
The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship takes a weekend off before returning to action in Millville, Minnesota on Saturday, July 16 for the Spring Creek Motocross National.

The theme around town all day Tuesday was change. The Maryland basketball team got into the act at night.
The Terrapins had made a habit of frittering away double-digit leads of late. And for an evening, anyway, they avoiding repeating the process.
Maryland escaped Comcast Center with a 84-78 defeat of Virginia, nearly blowing a 17-point lead before holding off the Cavaliers.
Adrian Bowie and Landon Milbourne both scored 17 points, Eric Hayes had a career-high 11 assists and Dave Neal returned from a first-half injury to make a critical 3-pointer as the Terps (13-5, 2-2 ACC) snapped a two-game skid.
"The only issue we've been having is those slumps we have when teams start to come back on us," Milbourne said. "We've been trying to figure out how to get rid of them, and it happened for a little bit tonight, but we got the win. We're starting to get it a little bit."
Jamil Tucker scored 21 points, and Calvin Baker and Mike Scott added 16 for the Cavaliers (7-8, 1-3), who fell under .500 for the first time this season.
It was an intriguing intersection in the season for the Terps, who were a few days removed from a two-game trip through Florida that left them with a pair of losses but also reason for encouragement. After all, they were more than competitive against two teams with imposing frontcourts.
At the same time, those also were crucial missed opportunities, and Maryland could ill afford to lose to a team entering College Park with a .500 record.
It was a possibility as Virginia gradually rallied in the second half, methodically carving into a steep lead. It wasn't anything new for Maryland, which blew a 14-point lead against Morgan State and a 17-point edge against Miami in losses earlier this month.
"We held on, but we were due," coach Gary Williams said. "We very easily could have won three in a row in the conference. It was tough to come back tonight. There's a lot of demons you have to get out of your head in that situation after what happened at Miami."
Maryland received a lift from Neal to make it happen. The senior left with a gash over his left eye early in the first half and received 15 stitches for his trouble. After passing a concussion test — including a recitation of the months of the year in reverse order — he ambled back into the arena early in the second half and soon re-entered the game.
It was an important development, especially after reserve Dino Gregory followed up an eight-point first half with perpetual foul trouble after the break. Neal also provided a timely answer when Virginia closed within two points, drilling a 3-pointer with 4:54 remaining to bump the lead to 68-63.
From there, the Terps relied on two of their most dependable traits — free throw shooting and Milbourne, sometimes in tandem.
Milbourne had another strong performance, scoring 10 points in the final five minutes to stave off the Cavaliers. And Maryland, an especially effective free throw shooting team, finished off an especially strong night of reaching the foul line with a 10-for-10 effort in the closing minutes.

Pre-Markup Changes to the CFPA BillOctober 12, 2009 - by Donny Shaw
In the post I just wrote on this week's mark-up of the Consumer Financial Protections Act, I mentioned that the bill has already been weakened since it was introduced in July. Joe Nocera had a good piece in the New York Times this weekend that I recommend reading in full. One part I want to excerpt here, though, is his rundown on what has already been changed in the bill before the mark-up has even begun:
The administration's outline for this new agency — which would regulate mortgages, credit cards, debit cards, installment loans and any other product issued by a financial institution — was sent up to Capitol Hill in July. Since then, Barney Frank, the committee chairman, has made a number of substantial changes, none of which, I have to say, have strengthened the proposed legislation. He stripped the bill of the much-promoted "plain vanilla" provision, which would have forced, say, mortgage brokers to offer customers a 30-year fixed mortgage alongside any exotic option A.R.M. mortgage they wanted to push.
He has changed the nature of an oversight panel, so that it would consist of the top bank regulators — the very same regulators who did such a miserable job looking out for consumers during the housing bubble. He has tinkered with the way the agency will be financed, making it less onerous for the banking industry and more onerous for nonbank financial institutions that will come under the agency's purview.
Saddest of all — at least from where I'm sitting — he abandoned the so-called reasonableness standard, which would have forced bankers to make sure their customers both understood the products they were buying and could afford them. Mr. Frank has said that such a provision would put bankers in an "untenable position." Yet that is precisely what brokers are required to do when they sell a stock or a bond to their customers. Why shouldn't the same standard apply to a banker making a mortgage loan?

Our Au Pair, Heather, was at an ice cream shop with her friends when she came across this sign.
I love this. I love whoever put it up and I wish I could see all of the other tags that were on it. I don't know what other things might have been there. Perhaps wisdom? Love? Friendship? Inspiration? Hugs? Chocolate? All good things, I'm sure.
But… you know that song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones? Let me sing it for you, because I have an annoying habit of doing that too much.
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if if you try sometimes,
You just might find
You get what you need.
I think I often have trouble figuring out what it is I need. As a matter of fact, if I had seen this sign up at a store, I probably would have gone to the Kinko's next door, made copies and then put them back up on the wall so nobody had to choose.
How can I be trusted to tell myself what I need? I don't even know what I WANT for breakfast. And I could use a little of all of those things sprinkled on generously in my life.
So I think that when we stumble on those things in life that we needed, but didn't even know we needed – like this little sign, which gave me a little hug that I didn't know I needed, we need to share it.
And maybe by sharing it, we can all find what we need.
8 Comments on You Get What You Need
That's just fabulous!
I need my cuddles from my boys.
I want more cuddles with my boys.
I think I'm just going to spend a day cuddling.
Alison recently posted…Memories Captured February Linkup, And Some News
I love the idea of this sign. How cute!! I, like you, am never quite sure if what I am getting is what I am needing. Great post.
AJ Collins recently posted…Five Ways to Raise Kids who Love God
Very thoughtful! Loved it. I'd add Smiles to it, don't see too many these days. Few, yes – more would be nice
MomWithaDot recently posted…Candid Conversation
Love that sign. I also love all your music references. I hear the songs playing in my head for a while after reading your posts.
Manisha recently posted…14 – 19 years!
I made one of these signs for my girls a few months ago – a big hit! Thanks for the reminder to do it again. I love the public, random nature of the one your au pair found. Happy to be reminded of all the good in people. Hugs all around!
Mary recently posted…My Valentine's Day Post
This reminds me of when I did something like this at work one time.
I had put up a post it note on a bathroom mirror that said " you are beautiful."
I thought I was being nice on a day that everyone needed a morale boost… and I got in trouble for it.
Go figure…
For me most of the time I give to the universe and the universe ends up returning the favor in some way.
In that last case, turns our the universe told me I did not need that job in my life.
Alma recently posted…Nourishing the Spirit
You can't always get what you want. Probably because you don't really need it

"It is gratifying to see someone whose tumor has been resistant to other therapies do well with this promising investigational therapy. The patient has received NKP-1339 for more than a year and continues to benefit," added Dr. Howard Burris.
"We are pleased by these interim results demonstrating the single agent anti-tumor activity of NKP-1339 in patients with advanced cancers refractory to standard treatments," said Dr. Angela Ogden, Chief Medical Officer for Niiki Pharma Inc.
"The preliminary results of this ongoing trial, showing the anti-tumor activity and the safety profile of NKP-1339, support our preclinical studies that the drug targets tumors selectively and is active against different tumors. We are delighted to see years of research come to fruition in collaboration with Niiki Pharma's team," said Professor Keppler, University of Vienna, inventor of NKP-1339.
About NKP-1339NKP-1339 is a first-in-class transferrin targeted ruthenium-based anti-cancer compound. Transferrin receptor is significantly over-expressed in many tumor types. The intracellular target pathways of NKP-1339 include down-regulation of GRP78, a key regulator of mis-folded protein processing and a tumor survival factor. GRP78 is the cause of resistance in many tumor types. In preclinical studies, NKP-1339 has demonstrated activity against multiple tumor types, including those resistant to other anti-cancer agents, including platinum-containing agents, anthracyclines and anti-tubulins.
NKP-1339 was invented by Professor Bernard K. Keppler, currently the Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry at University of Vienna, Austria, and Head of the Research Platform "Translational Cancer Therapy Research", a multi-disciplinary collaboration between University of Vienna and th

Because of time and resource constraints, however, researchers cannot directly study in detail the genomes of all of the thousands of species of bacteria and can only carry out experiments on some of them, Sze explained. So researchers need a computational tool to help them predict where similar clusters of genes are in different species of bacteria so they can better focus their experiments, he said.
For each level of complexity in organisms, there is a model organism that scientists center their experiments on, and for bacteria, the model organism is E. coli. Because E. coli is a model organism, scientists have studied it in great detail and have a large amount of experimentally validated data on its genome and the operons that function, Sze said.
Sze and Yang's computational tool starts with a known and experimentally validated E. coli operon and then searches each of hundreds of separate species of bacteria for genes that are related to those in the E. coli operon. Once the tool has located related genes in a bacterium, it then checks to see if there is a strong clustering of the genes. It does this by using a statistical procedure that computes which genes are statistically very close to each other when you compare it to a random situation of genes, Sze explained.
"Imagine putting genes in a random order," Sze said. "When placed randomly, two specific genes are likely to be located at a far distance from each other. But if there is clustering, then the genes will be much closer to each other than they would be by chance."
So by using Sze and Yang's tool, scientists can easily locate sub-blocks of genes in different bacteria that are arranged in a similar fashion as one of the operons in E. coli. "If biologists are interested in a particular E. coli operon, they can use our tool to find where the operon is in the different bacteria," Sze

Since a soft opening last week, Mala Tang's servers have been explaining the hot-pot process to diners. There are choices for broth (beef-based or vegetarian, hot or mild) and protein: Thin-sliced New York Strip steak ($13 for lunch, $21 for dinner) and wine-marinated beef ($13) are popular, and there are also poultry and seafood options. Vegetable choices include broccoli ($5), lotus root ($6), and enoki mushrooms ($6), and although white rice is included, you can also order house-made noodles ($5) or dumplings ($5 for pork and vegetable, $6 for beef).
Staff at Mala Tang are happy to recommend how best to use the condiments that come with each hot pot—hot chili peppers, spicy bean paste, a house-made barbecue-style sauce, and house-made soy sauce—that vary in heat level. Diners can combine the first three into a larger bowl of the soy.
Mala Tang features individualized hot pots, something that may come as a surprise to those that have been to Liu's other restaurants, where tables share one or two communal pots.
"That seemed like a better fit for an American audience," says general manager Tomer Molivinsky, "because the idea of everyone cooking food all together isn't part of American culture."
The decor is sparse: dark wood tabletops and counters are flanked by deep-red walls and the occasional carved wall hanging. The highlight of the dining room is a photo mural depicting a market street in Chengdu, the owner's inspiration for both the hot pot and the xiao chi, or street-food dishes. The latter—including spicy dan dan noodles ($7), mapo tofu ($8), mung-bean noodles ($6), and scallion pancake ($4)—are also available for lunch at the counter opposite the restaurant's dining room. Liu hopes the street snacks, as well as a quick version of hot pot, will draw a lunch crowd from the offices in the same building.
A note to office workers who plan to sit down for lunch: the pot of broth, chile oil, and spices can get a little messy. "I wouldn't wear all white the first time," says Tomer.
Mala Tang, 3434 Washington Blvd., Arlington; 703-243-2381; mala-tang.com. Open Monday through Thursday, 11 to 10, Friday and Saturday 11 to 11. Brunch, with a menu of street snacks, is coming soon.

Okay, look, we get it. Given that Justice Anthony M. Kennedy is now the swing vote on the Supreme Court, how long he will remain on the Court — and his health, which obviously affects the length of his tenure — is of critical importance.
But we still found it odd that the Washington Post decided to throw AMK's ideology into its subhed:
That got us thinking — would they do the same if, say, Justice Scalia underwent the same procedure?
Or what about Justice Stevens?
(Being a copy editor is such a thankless task. If you do a good job, nobody notices; if you make a mistake, everyone makes fun of you.)

c[''''] Mocha's Top 100 Essentials of Final Fantasy XI: Pre-Details/Tutorial
Mocha's Top 100 Essentials of Final Fantasy XI
is a countdown from 100 to 1 of... well,
everything that encompasses FFXI. To sum it up, this can be the bare bones of the game,
moments, areas, nostalgia - anything that really explains what the game was to those who
have played it or the ones who didn't experience it.
[ Previous Entries ]
Top 100 Essentials of FFXI: Introduction
K. I lied about starting the 100-96, but I feel this is imperative to this list.
So here's the thing.
There's a few different categories that some of these can fall under, but I felt it's only necessary that they get their own part of the top 100. This is mostly due to their integral part of Final Fantasy XI or because putting it under the next-to-be-mentioned categories would be too "general". With that, I will - before listing 100 through 96 - give an introduction of four different categories that some of these may fall under.
In the brackets is the category. To the right of it - if necessary, in quotes - is how I will nickname it when it shows up in an individual category.
Example: [Jobs Breakdown - "Job"] means later on when I discuss Paladin, it will appear as:
[ Paladin ] - Job
Hopefully all of that made sense. If not... well... balls on you.
[Jobs Breakdown - "Job"]
Final Fantasy XI currently has a massive roster of 20 jobs. Most games can't even come close to matching up to that sort of statistic. The fantastic thing is that each job has its own purpose, talents, and feats that make it special and unique. Keep in mind that when I say feat, I'm not referring to what other MMOs may name their talents, but rather the actual word itself. With this mind, it's only fair that each of the twenty jobs get their own ranking instead of being grouped together under "Jobs" as one, big category.
For those new to the game, here's a brief tutorial on jobs...
When the original Final Fantasy XI was released, it debuted with six main jobs: Warrior, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Red Mage, and Black Mage.
Sound familiar at all?
This is part of the attraction most found themselves tied to when reading over or watching this game in action. Sure, the Final Fantasy lore is beyond words. However, when you factor in the amazing job system that has spanned over the different versions (Especially you, FFT <3), you can't help but wonder how fun it would be to wreck shop as just a [insert job here] in the game.
The climb from 1-30 was an endurance test for many of the starting off players. The leveling challenge of today, 1 year ago, and so on was much different than that of when FFXI was in its early stages. Back then, you had to be one hardcore sunny beach to survive the hazards of partying. The thing that made jobs different than other MMOs was the fact that if you wanted to progress, you
to level with other players. This was where the huge learning curve came into fruition as well. Back then, Warrior wasn't exactly an expert tank. The starting classes themselves weren't extremely powerful either. Also, the starting off gear wasn't as plentiful or brag-worthy in statistics. Why is this relevant? Because, if you made the climb to 30, you unlocked the option to unlock an additional 5** jobs. That's right! MOAR JOBS. However, because FFXI likes for you to test your virtues, you didn't just magically get these jobs...
...oh, no. You had to EARN them. Every new job that you wanted to unlock came with a quest... a trial more than anything to unlock them. Once completed, the job unlocked and would start off level 1 and thus you repeated the process all over again. These 5** additional classes were: Dark Knight, Paladin, Bard, Beastmaster, and Ranger. This added a whole new level of versatility to your parties because these weren't necessarily 'upgrades' to the previous jobs, but actually different leveling options altogether.
(**Note: Summoner was later available around the same time the expansion pack 'Rise of the Zilart' was released via an update. However, the expansion pack wasn't required to unlock the job... just the update download.)
Just like any job, the best part of these jobs was exploring their potential. Because FFXI focused more on a group-leveling system, this made job exploration even more important. It's one thing to know your job on a solo basis, but it's another thing to know your job on a party basis. To do that, you have to fully know your role (and on some occasions, shut your mouth), be comfortable with it, know how it works in different party setups, and be able to adjust tactics on-the-fly.
Not too long after the release, Squenix released that aforementioned expansion (RotZ) with an additional 4 jobs to the roster: Ninja, Samurai, Summoner, and Dragoon. Instinctively, in any MMO setting, whenever a new job is released, everyone flocks to it immediately to exploit its strengths and maybe even try to shit on the rest of the jobs. This update certainly didn't disappoint in this category. Everyone and their mom (Literally! Not kidding!) masturbated to the point of mortal wounding through chaffing from this addition. I mean, read the roster again. Ninja. Who doesn't love ninjas? Samurai - need I say more? Dragoon? If you've played your fair share of Final Fantasy, you love you some Dragoon.
After this, FFXI took a 3-year-nap when it came to releasing new jobs -- even releasing another expansion (Chains of Promathia) in between this drought. With that, two more expansions would follow within a year-and-a-half of each other. First came 'Treasures of Aht Urhgan - which would give birth to Corsair, Blue Mage, and Puppetmaster. Later, they would release 'Wings of the Goddess' - spawning forth Scholar and Dancer. These would prove (at least for now) to be the last big (and I stress big for you purists out there) expansion to be released by Squenix and the last one to feature new jobs.
With all of this together, FFXI had its roster of 20 different jobs to choose from. It was this constant influx of new jobs that kept the gameplay interesting. New strategies began forming for partying, huge battles, and even PvP. The funny thing is: the more people went after new jobs, the more time it gave people to perfect the earlier jobs. This back-and-forth (has) continued from FFXI's conception to this day. Forum arguments continue to flare up with complex formulas, screenshots, parsers, and debates as to who is the best of the best in any given situation.
This is the heart of the job system in Final Fantasy XI. There's another aspect of this as well, but I'll be covering that much, much later. It's with this reasoning that I give each individual job its own category. Hopefully that's enough information to pacify the rest of you.
Jobs aren't as basic as "here's this, here's that". They were/are complex and need to be discussed on an individual basis.
Get used to that.
[While you Were Leveling/Bound to Happen]
Ok. So this is a fun category. If you're playing Final Fantasy XI for a good chunk of time, you're going to endure certain things. You may have to take part in a certain quest. You may have to experience a certain cut-scene. You may watch the inner-workings of a functional and a non-functional party. You will get to see the computer A.I. at work. Essentially, there are just some things in the game that you are going to see, going to experience, or are going to hear about.
These are mostly going to be FML moments. Let's face it - things happen. Unfortunately, in this game, things are going to happen all up-and-down your ass. Sorry. This isn't just stuff I can pile under "humorous moments" or "f-ups". Hence, each moment or item gets its own category as well.
Go fuck yourself. That was barely long. Read it.
[Do You Remember...? - "Nostalgia"]
To be fair, a lot of people played FFXI on a continuous basis; even more of them at least played it for a while. It was hard for any MMO to live under the shadow that World of Warcraft cast, but FFXI did so under the umbrella of wonderful moments. These moments could cancel out any fanboyism, anger, taunting, or frustration any person would dare endure. A lot of my experience in playing WoW and even moreso from friends who played it much more faithfully than me was that it lacked the memory creation that Final Fantasy is
And so it was. What better way to hono(u)r these moments than to acknowledge them in this list on an individual basis. I believe this category and what qualifies under it really expresses what FFXI was more than of the others.
I've always said that when I played the game, I was paying 12.95 a month for a chat service that came with a free game.
Memories in the game didn't just come from preloaded cut-scenes. They didn't come from predetermined algorithms or computerized dice-rolls. The moments came from what you took out of the stories and what story you created from them. The moments came from the conversations you had with friends, party members, enemies, and random people. The moments came from the battles that you shouldn't have lost and the battles you shouldn't have won.
Hell, the game experienced a sleuth of up/downgrades (sometimes cleverly hidden as a patch or a hit from the almighty
bat...) that added instant memories each time due to their potency in changes made.
Some could even argue it's my overall experience with Final Fantasy XI that created all these memories. Everyone's story is different in FFXI, though. That's what really made it special. There was no real "beating the game" unless you count the expansion story-lines. This is what made the game compelling for me. I felt like I was playing a different game every day and that's why I didn't mind paying monthly charges. Thirteen bucks a month for a new game? Not a problem. There are
other games I recently purchased
that don't nearly do for me what FFXI did for me.
I think the slower game style of FFXI also made it easier to enjoy certain moments to take place as a memory -- if that makes any sense. It seems unfair, but this category (when noted) will seem like it's mostly for those who played the game and can resonate with what I'm scribing. For everyone else, you may enjoy it just through reading about it... how potent would that make that memory?
This game burned memories into your head whether you wanted it to or not. I will be covering those for vets/newbies alike.
[Locations Within the Game - "Location"]
Beautiful. Shut up. Say what you want about the graphics... at the time, it was stupid-impressive. Not only that, but all of the other flashy titles that would soon show up with all their cool graphics would just be in a flash-in-the-pan. You know why? It wasn't because they didn't look pretty - they did! It was because there was nothing noteworthy about the locations. Scenery should stick out to players. They should feel involved in a living, breathing environment. It should feel like its own organism - a world you could see existing... or you wish did. Final Fantasy XI had this in spades.
There's no fonder memories than when you travel through certain landscapes for the first time and get that wow-factor. For the most part, you never felt like you were in the same area or one you had previously visited. Even so, each area had its own characteristics. It's own personality. If it wasn't the scenery, the music, the weather, or the color... it was something more... involving. Something that made it seem believable. Monsters, for example, always seemed to fit the criteria for the area they were in. Sure, the game was guilty of color-palette swapping or maybe just renaming monsters with higher levels, but they fit the surroundings. Even the larger monsters never just showed up like, "Hi. I really don't belong here. Please put me somewhere I will make sense." It wasn't like you saw fire-based dragon in the middle of a below-freezing environment.
Just like other players, I've had my times where I would enter a certain zone and just stand there looking at it. I would often times search every crevice not for clipping, but the detail. I wanted to see what this world was like and what went where. It was this same exploration that made it so I very rarely found myself lost or looking at my map.
On a respect level, you have to realize that developers put time and effort into making these designs not to just have people scoff or ignore them. These are the same people who probably drew in their notebook during class. They might be the same ones who wanted to be dungeon masters when they were younger. Maybe they're people who played Ultima or watched vivid landscapes in Disney movies or Labyrinth or The Secret of Nimh. Either way, I was going to appreciate them just like they did.
In counter to that, besides the areas that were loved, people also had areas they absolutely hated. These areas could be wrought with bad memories of missions gone wrong, parties they wish they could forget about, or just an absolutely annoying and/or terrifying design to navigate through. I know every game has areas you just don't like, but FFXI made sure your head hung low and your nails stayed between your teeth in their designs. It wasn't so much the level, but maybe even more the consequences of poor navigation. Consequences like all out brawls of you and 5 others vs. an entire area, deleveling, taking up too much time, or having to re-navigate deep into an area in a game that is not travel friendly. Ugh. Just writing about this brings certain areas to life that are just not player-friendly... and that's okay. We'll discuss those later. We'll go into detail about areas that just make you bring your A-game and others that don't care if you fall asleep on your keyboard staring at them.
Whether your graphics card was low-end or high-end, you got the appreciation of the areas. Everyone has a favorite one; everyone has a hated one. Which is yours? I'll list mine as the list narrows down from 100.
From its debut to living under the veil of obscurity (sometimes) of other MMOs boasting beautiful graphics, FFXI showcased some great/frustrating areas. I will share some that are close to me.
Moving Forward
OKAY! So no more teasing! Now that I've got the introduction and important stuff out of the way, I can officially bring the official 100 list out of hiding for all of you to see. I can now promise that the next update in this series will start off with 100-96 as expected.
For those reading so far, thank you for tolerating my delays and blabbering. Feel free to post your opinions, questions, comments, or "I'm looking forward to..." notions and I will comment accordingly.
Until then...

c[''''] Mocha's Top 100 of Final Fantasy XI: Introduction
NOTE: I started this prematurely
a while back
, but
ended it abruptly. I did so under the urge to post about this great game, but I realized I was doing it an injustice by writing on such short notice. With that, I bring you the full realization of that same attempt.
Did you know there was a Final Fantasy that took place in between Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XII? Spooky - I know. There was this rumor that there was such a game - but it was online... so surely it didn't count for anything. After all, why should I pay monthly for a Final Fantasy? I never have before. Well, if you did, you treated yourself to one of the best in the series in terms of storyline, immersion, and satisfaction.
For those not in the know, I'm referring to...
In fact, for those who played FFXII so dutifully and loved it, you can thank XI for many of those game-play elements, enemies, and overall structure.
For those too lazy to Wikipedia, here's the history lesson:
The game debuted in Japan first on the PS2 console May 16, 2002 and on the PC for Japan November 7, 2002. What? JP and NA release? You bet! Welcome to the interesting dichotomy of this MMORPG. This game then hit the shores of NA on PC first October 28, 2003 and then PS2 later on March 23, 2004. In 2006, Xbox 360 would join the pack for the NA, JP, and EU release. How's that for multicultural?
I was lucky enough to join the game February of 2004 on my PC thanks to some non-stop bugging from my friend Danji would said: "YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS. IT'S WORTH IT." Ugh. Famous last words much?
My friend in all of his starting-gear-glory.
So... I picked it up... and played for 4.5 years. I chose Ramuh as my world and went on to play as an Elvaan named Aneubis living in San d'Oria... before realizing I hated the direction I was going. Afterwards, I switched to a blonde, short-haired hume named Wintieu living in Bastok and thus my world was opened.
This was a much later point in my FFXI career. However, I always flaunted my Bastokan pride... as shown above.
This wasn't my first rodeo - I had previously played Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast. However, this was my first hardcore MMORPG and I wasn't sucked in immediately. The game had its share of faults, hiccups, frustrations, and time-sinks. In lieu of that, the game also had its successes, glories, celebrations, and worthwhile-moments. For anyone just glancing at it or trying it for a day - hell, maybe even a week - I can understand why you'd dislike it. For those who stayed around for a bit longer, you know the love/hate relationship that FFXI creates with you.
Some will debate the atrocities in the game and compare them to other games that were out at the time like World of Warcraft, Ragnarok Online, Maple Story, Guild Wars, Everquest 1/2, Lineage, Runescape, Star Wars Galaxies, and so on. Fact is: FFXI boasted one thing that not many of those games could match: a phenomenal storyline and an entire franchise's worth of content to fall back on.
With that, I'm going to bring to you the Top 100... well, Everything's of Final Fantasy XI... by 5's. I will include what screen-shots I have left, detailed descriptions, and maybe my own examples of what I experienced with the examples given.
Hopefully, those who are hardcore FF advocates - but never played this game - will learn what this particular game was about and add it to their FF knowledge and culture.
This game means so much to me; friend-wise and passion for gaming alike.
Tonight, I will post 100-96 and get this thing kicked off. Hopefully this is something everyone can look forward to whether you hated, loved, or never played the game.
Until then, I'll leave you with a snippet of conversation that I used to experience in Final Fantasy XI.
Remember, think of Balrog losing every time you read this as he screams:
MY MONTHLY MMORPG MONEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYyYYYyyyYY!
on 10.18.2009
Wet Ink 01: Renegade (NES)
So today I had a good 45 minutes before I had to be at work when I arrived at my destination. It's a nice little spot by the docks where you can see water from your toes to the horizon. It's an amazing place where the air is a bit chillier from the river waters and the smell is flavored by the various solvents in the same water in front of you.
It was a good day to write.
I looked out into the waters and tapped my pen to paper to conjure some sort of thought of what I should write about. Then it came to me:
My recent game purchase!
BAD. ASS. (Yes, that's my top-loader NES2.)
That's not your parents' NES game. This is fucking RENEGADE. I'm not going to lie; I was not surprised to see the title was in all caps in such hardcore font. You can tell from the cover that this game pulls no punches.
Short story: I went to our local game/vinyl/VHS/retro store to see if there was anything to play with and this just stood out to me as a title that said, "I'm about to dropkick you in the balls just for looking at me." That's how hardcore it was. I'm slowly building my NES collection and there was this no-gimmicks-needed game flexing at me for a bargain of $2.50. Now get this: I don't have the much celebrated Mega Man II yet for NES and that was above for $10.00. That's how intimidating this game was. I was shook before I even had it in my console. So naturally, I had to purchase. On that same evening, I also purchased Street Fighter II (original!) for the SNES - but that's another blog for another day.
So I know you're wondering to yourself: "How did you know this game was about to wreck shop on your NES?" Well, easy... the game has a tagline on the spine of the cartridge! Look!
Are you as hard as I am right now after reading that?
So anyway, I pop this bad-boy in and let me tell you: it's well worth the money spent.
...however, that's not necessarily a good thing. Yes, I spent two dollars and fifty cents - but it's worth just about that much. I'm judging this from a completely retro-minded view and maybe from an over-the-top satirical view as well. The game opens with a title screen. That's right - there's no gameplay preview or anything. This game wants you to know that you have no idea what you're in store for. You better just hang on to your ass and be prepared.
Soon after you press start, you appear in a subway surrounded by three guys. Three angry guys. Three guys all wearing white shirts with black slacks and there you are in your cowboy vest and khaki pants. If this doesn't scream battle royal, I'm not sure what does. I guess I want to start off by asking why the hell can't you close your mouth? Are you yelling the entire time? The A.I. is the exact same palette. You're all just standing there with your mouths open like you can't stop yelling at each other. That's what I'm going to do the next time I walk into a subway - just stand there with my mouth open angrily.
Maybe it's just one, big shouting contest?
</derail> Anyway, the button layout is unique in the sense that your A and B buttons aren't attack buttons to your respective limbs like most beat'em-ups. From what I've learned in playing, each button controls the direction of your attack... so-to-speak. So, lets say baddie #1 is on your left and baddie #2 is on your right. The B button would focus your attacks to the left whilst the A button would focus on attacking right. Whatever opponent your facing will be the recipient of some malice-enriched punches to the dome while the one you're blatantly ignoring (because you're too busy being bad-ass) will catch a "HWAAAHH!" back-kick.
For some reason, each level comes with a handy-dandy count down timer that causes a game over when it reaches 0. Why is that? Why is that added? What happens at 0 anyway? Is this like Crank? Do they kill your girlfriend?** Do the Knicks win the playoffs? Does your hot pocket get overcooked? Either way, that's one more obstacle you have in your way besides the enemies themselves... which always come in waves of three. Yeah. Three people who really, really don't like you.
**NOTE: There's the rub: there IS NO GIRLFRIEND to rescue!**
YEAH! So what the hell are you doing fighting these people anyway? Let's ask the instruction manual:
You're surrounded by gangs of blood-thirsty thugs. You weren't
looking for trouble but you're not going to run from it either.
Only you can put these punks in their place-face down in the
gutter. Your flying fists and killer kicks will have to do the job. It's you or them!
...What?! YOU (Mr. K, the protagonist!) are not bright! Let's read the spine of the game again:
Why not just take the fucking bus? Is that why he's a RENEGADE? Because he takes the subway like a bad ass knowing there's "blood-thirsty thugs" meandering around down there. That doesn't make him a Renegade. That makes him a DUMBASS. In fact, that should be the title of the game. "DUMBASS - BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO TAKE THE SUBWAY AT 2 A.M. IN YOUR McLOVIN VEST AND PANTS... IDIOT"
That's probably why his mouth is open.
[Mr. K]: IS THIS THE SUBWAY? WELL BALLS.
[Thug 1]: I CAN'T STOP YELLING. YOU LOOK KINDA LOST, BOY.
[Mr. K]: WHAT TIME IS IT, BLOOD-THIRSTY THUGS?
[Thug 2]: WHY IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S 2 A.M.
[Mr. K]: I SHOULD'VE TAKEN THE BUS.
[Thug 1]: WHAT ARE YOU SOME SORT OF DUMBASS?
[Mr. K]: I'M A RENEGADE.
[Thug 2]: DUMBASS.
[Mr. K]: THIS VEST IS ITCHY. AND I CAN'T STOP YELLING. TIME TO KICK SOME ASS.
Calm the fuck down?
You know what's kinda amusing though? There's a two-player mode. However, there's no secondary protagonist like most two-player NES games. Instead, it's the same hero... except controlled by player number two. The only logical explanation I have for this is that this is actually the guy's twin and this game is a prequel for Double Impact starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. If that's truly the case, I would give anything to have one Michael Bay direct a film adaptation as long as it consists of the above dialogue recited by JCVD.
I'd be so enthralled...
You know what's even more amazing? After you beat up all the thugs with your sick martial arts skills... the subway doors open. OK, OK... you obviously have four options:
1. Get into this subway some time past 2 A.M. shortly after dispensing of several blood-thirsty, but surprisingly well-groomed and laundry-shirt-attentive thugs(?)
2. Get out of there and take the bus.
3. Let time expire.
4. Run all the way to the right, fall off the ledge, and onto the tracks to your death.
Guess which one of those you CAN'T do?
So, after you board the subway, guess what happens? YOU FIGHT MORE THUGS... DUMBASS. You know what happens after that? The doors to the subway open. You now have four more options:
1. Get off of this subway some time past 2 A.M. shortly after dispensing of several blood-thirsty, but surprisingly well-groomed and laundry-shirt-attentive thugs(?)
2. Look out the window to examine the situation and maybe consider taking a safer exit... I mean, it's not like you're obligated to save ANYONE and it's obvious you've already cleaned this cart of baddies. Besides, aren't you making 2-minute hot pockets?
3. Let time expire.
4. Yell.
Guess which of those you CAN'T do?
You would guess this continues subway car after subway car, but believe it or not, you eventually end up fighting at some docking area (ironic considering my writing location... and even moreso if you consider my reference to Double Impact) against some dudes on motorcycles?
So yeah - best $2.50 I think I've ever spent. I haven't beaten the game yet, but when I have, I'll be sure to sing the praises.
If you have an NES; get the game.
If you don't, buy an NES; get the game.
I hope the time I spend writing random stuff like this every day can only be as epic as this game's awesomeness allows me to interpret. With that, I'll leave you with a picture of me with a half-hearted RENEGADE face.
So until then, think of Balrog losing in Street Fighter IV when he says:

Wet Ink - I lessthanthree gaming.
Greeting and Salutations, destructoifaces!
This is just my way of waving and greeting all my fellow gamers out there in a very clich� introductory manner. For those who want to know of me, look no further than the right-hand side column. For those wondering what the hell my deal is, read ahead.
For all intents and purposes, I will be using this blog as an outlet for all things gaming that I discuss. This can be anything from videos to podcasts to writing pieces, to photos, to drunken texts to obscure gaming characters - whatever!
I will do my best to spread the good word of gaming while entertaining all those who would dare bother to read further. With that, I thank you for your time in reading this and hope I can provide you with some laughs, some insight, and some reasons to be proud to be a gamer.
In the vein of redundancy, I will post the reasoning behind this being called Wet Ink even though it's listed on the sidebar:
A friend of mine (Desi) has inspired me to write something everyday outside of the home. She has a little project of her own called "Project 365" where she takes a photo every day to capture a memory complete with a description. I can't tell you how much I'm infatuated with this. It's not necessarily a photo of her every day, but of just life. As she describes it:
For me, it's just a reminder of life. The years are going by faster and faster and I want to remember them. I want to see how the world, family, friends, even myself change throughout the year. Just a little visual history :)
SO! I've decided that once a day, I will write for 30 minutes minimum in a location that's not in the home as my thoughts are usually clouded there. My headphones will almost always accompany me as well as my notepad. Every day, I will post in my notes what I wrote about and label it as "Wet Ink".
If you feel like this is your cup of tea to follow, I encourage you to do so.
With that being said, look forward to my first installment tonight as I hopefully write down something that doesn't suck in a random location around town to get the juices flowing and the hamster running... fat bastard.
Until then, keep in mind what Balrog says today when losing a fight in SFIV:

The Western New York Land Conservancy was recently awarded $50,000 from the Gallogly Family Foundation to help create the Stella Niagara Preserve, a new, publicly accessible nature preserve along the Niagara River in Lewiston, N.Y. The Land Conservancy has now received more than $2.7 million of the more than $3.2 million needed to create the Stella Niagara Preserve.

New York State Senator Mark Grisanti, who serves as Chairman of the Senate's Environmental Conservation Committee, announced today that after working with town officials in Orchard Park he has been able to secure $200,000 to help replace Green Lake Dam.
Green Lake Dam was recently reclassified by the state Department of Environmental Conservation from an intermediate hazard to a high hazard, which drew concerns from many residents and community stakeholders in Orchard Park.
"The re-classification of Green Lake Dam is troubling for the residents of Orchard Park," said Senator Grisanti. "Green Lake Dam needs to be reconstructed immediately. The funds I was able to secure from the Environmental Protection Fund will help do just that."

Britain is facing an energy shortage that will see household costs for heat and light rise by as much as 60 percent, according to one industry regulator.
Alistair Buchanan, chief executive of Ofgem and the outgoing head of the regulator, did not put a number in a Telegraph report on just how high costs would climb for households, but he did indirectly indicate price increases of up to 60 percent. Gas prices rose by 60 percent in Japan, he said, and that country doesn't even have its own supply source, The Telegraph reported.
Similarly, Britain will be forced to look for outside nations for energy sources in the next couple years, he said, in The Telegraph. Why?
European Union pollution laws are forcing the United Kingdom to shut down coal plants, The Telegraph reports. And few alternative energy sources have been developed.
Britain will be facing a "near-crisis" between 2015 and 2018, Mr. Buchanan said in The Telegraph. "No new nuclear, no new clean coal, no new carbon capture this side of 2020," he predicted in the report. "So we'll lean on gas and gas will account for about 60 percent of our power station needs instead of 30 percent as it does today."
Meanwhile, President Obama's ongoing push against coal-fired plants has led to substantial changes in America's energy sector.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a huge drop in power sector coal consumption, from 45 percent to 36 percent — and that was in mid-2012, according to Fox News. At the same time — and in line with what's taken place in Britain — few other sources of energy have been constructed in the nation.

Preview & Chat: Lakers' Preseason Opener
4 hours ago
I think the series wouldn't have been a sweep by Dallas, but I just don't think it could've lifted the Lakers passed the 2nd round. There were just too much going on with the Lakers, and the Mavs were just destined to go all the way. But I feel ya!ReplyDelete
Ya Ezra I would have to go agree with you. Dallas was destined to bring home the Larry O'Brien. Good for them.
I'm glad they won and not Miami actually.
