Keep your dog safe from irritating and dangerous pests with k9 Advantix for dogs over 55 Lbs. Formulated for dogs seven weeks of age and older and weighing over 55 pounds and under, K9 Advantix II outperforms its competitors not only by killing more varieties of pests, but also by repelling them to prevent future attacks.
The active ingredients in K9 Advantix II help keep your dog safe from ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes. These effective compounds attack the pests' nerve cells, paralyzing and effectively killing them, as well as repelling them from future attacks. Most ticks are repelled and killed before they can attach, which may reduce the risk of transmitting disease-causing organisms to your pet. K9 Advantix II effectively kills and repels Deer ticks, American dog ticks, Brown dog ticks, and Lone Star ticks.
K9 Advantix II protects your pet against fleas at all stages of the parasite's development. K9 Advantix II breaks the flea life cycle by killing the living fleas on your dog before they can lay eggs. It also prevents the development of existing flea eggs, larvae, and pupae, helping to prevent future infestations.
K9 Advantix II also kills reinfesting fleas (newly hatched fleas jumping back on your dog) within two hours, and it prevents fleas on a treated dog from infesting your home.
In addition to complete tick, flea, and mosquito protection, K9 Advantix II also repels painful biting flies from feeding on your dog, and it effectively kills up to 100 percent of lice within one week of treatment.
K9 Advantix II is waterproof, so there's no need to reapply after your dog has a bath or goes for a swim. Studies show that dogs are still protected against parasites after exposure to water, though for best results, dogs treated with K9 Advantix II should be bathed with a non-detergent shampoo.
Box includes four 4.0-milliliter tubes of K9 Advantix II for Extra Large Dogs over 55 pounds.
Applying K9 Advantix II to your pet is a fast and easy process. First, remove the K9 Advantix II applicator tube from its packaging and use scissors to peel down the foil. Next, hold the applicator tube in an upright position and pull the cap off the tube. Use the upturned cap to break the protective seal, and you're ready for application.
For easiest application, your dog should be standing upright. Evenly apply the entire contents of the K9 Advantix II tube to two or three spots from the back of the shoulder to the base of the tail. Part the hair at each spot until the skin is visible, then place the tip of the tube on the skin and gently squeeze out a portion of the solution. Be careful not to apply an excessive amount of the solution in any one spot, otherwise some of the solution might run off the side of your dog. Dispose of the container and do not reuse or refill. Do not empty unused product in any indoor or outdoor drain.
For optimal control and prevention of parasites, use K9 Advantix II every month. K9 Advantix II is available in four- and six-month supplies. Do not use K9 Advantix II on cats or any animals other than dogs.
Evenly apply the entire contents of the tube to four to six spots on the top of the back--from the shoulder to the base of the tail. Apply monthly.
Under normal conditions, the product is effective for one month. However, in cases of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every seven days. After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment schedule.

A single application of K9 Advantix keeps working for one month.
Experts recommend monthly application to keep your dog protected year-round.
Yes, ticks and fleas can be brought into the home by people or other pets--without owners even realizing it. Immature flea stages remain dormant until conditions are appropriate for development. This is why it is also important to protect indoor pets.
Yes, you can give your dog a bath. A non-detergent shampoo is recommended for best results.
K9 Advantix is gentle enough for puppies as young as seven weeks.
Imidacloprid is an ectoparasiticide, an antiparasitic agent that targets parasites living primarily on the surface of a host. Chemically classified as a chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine, imidacloprid inhibits neurotransmitter transmission in insects, resulting in paralysis and death.
Imidacloprid exhibits both adulticide and larvicidal flea efficacy; it not only kills adult fleas and larvae on your pet, but it also kills larval stages in your pet's immediate surroundings.
To kill fleas at all stages of their life cycles and stop them from being able to move or feed.
Permethrin is the additional ingredient in Advantix. It belongs to the Type I class of pyrethroid acaricides and insecticides, and it also acts as a repellent. Pyrethroids affect muscle and nerve cells' sodium ion channels by increasing their mean open time, which leads to hyperexcitability and death of the parasite.
Thanks to its repelling activity, permethrin reduces parasite bites and thus the risk of diseases and stress for your dog.
To repel ticks, sand flies, and mosquitoes; to kill ticks and fleas.
Imidacloprid and permethrin work together to overwhelm the nervous system of the parasite, providing neurotoxic activity beyond that of each compound alone. This leads to more profound and quicker insect paralysis and death.
Specifically, imidacloprid increases the efficacy of permethrin by activating insect nerve cells and increasing the frequency of neurotransmissions. As a result, more sodium channels are opened and the pyrethroid can interact much better with its target site.
Pyriproxyfen is a pyridine-based pesticide. A juvenile hormone analog, it interferes with the hormone signaling of growing insects, so that insects in immature stages are unable to mature. Additionally, a female insect that touches the toxin will produce eggs that will not hatch.
Pyriproxyfen provides an added layer of protection for pets and their surroundings. It interrupts the flea life cycle at multiple stages, halting the growth and development of insect eggs and larvae and preventing reinfestation.
To prevent flea eggs from hatching and larvae from growing.
Four tubes, each 0.135 fluid ounces (4.0 milliliters)
Does what it says it's going to do. I've neve had a problem even in hot humid Florida
we have used advantage since our dog was a puppy. She is now 9 years old and we are still using the product...that says something doesn't it
This will be the second year for us using this product. Last year we had no fleas or ticks on Freckles. Will be starting her new supply on the 1st of May. Recommended this product to my sister for her dog.
After trying numerous products, including Frontline, flea dips,knockout spray, and diatimacious earth, I was ready to tear my hair out. I switched to Advantic and the flea problem was under control within 2 days.
Advantix keeps fleas, ticks, and other bugs from sticking to my dogs' hair and that says a lot during the summer time. I have two long haired dogs and it really helps to have a product that provides protection and also keeps bugs from being in my home.
Product states it would repel ticks, it does not. Good on fleas.
I love K9 Advantix anyway so it's always nice to catch it on sale. Entirely Pets is super easy to order from and the shipping is fast!
Seems to work well, still gets the occasional tick but better than other products.
We live in St. Louis with lots of fleas, ticks, biting flies, mosquitos, etc. and our poor dog was scratching and itching to the point of sores. I applied the K9 advantix II and within 36 hrs the itching and scratching had stopped. The sores have healed and he's doing great. The product has performed as advertised and is MUCH less expensive than Frontline
This product has always worked better for me than any other flea control. I tried Frontline when my dog was a pup and it did NOTHING. The Bayer products are the only ones that work. I especially like the fact that they are absorbed and don't leave an oily residue.
We know fleas have been bad in our area, but We Have Been Flea Free !
I am happy with this product. I previously purchased Front Line, I was satisfied with this product also. However, my veterinarian dermatologist recently advised me to switch to Advantix II.
Works great at keeping the fleas off, and I got it within a couple days, super fast shipping!
I have been using K9Advantix since it first came out, for my Newfoundland dogs. Here where we live in Alaska, we do not have a flea or tick problem but we have a huge issue with mosquitoes, no-see-ums and aweful biting flies of all sizes which will drive human and animal alike, crazy with their painful bites. K9Advantix are the only drops I have found to work effectively against these biting critters and most drops only guard against fleas and ticks. Great product!! When I moved to Alaska, I discovered that no companies would ship it here. Then I discovered EntirelyPets and after one conversation I learned that they would indeed ship to Alaska. I was skeptical but they did it...and quicker than we usually get things. I am a fan of EntirelyPets and a lifetime user of K9 Advantix!
This product has worked well on my shepherds.
I had given my sweetheart an ingestible flea deterrent I had gotten from the vet. It did absolutely nothing and my poor dog was itching and miserable. I really didn't have time to run all over town looking for something else, when I found K9 advantix II at Entirely Pets. They made ordering easy, were very courteous, and the order arrived in a timely manner. Both the dog and I are very happy.
I am not sure that there was anything in the tube. The dog felt dry after the application.
Super Fast Shipping, Order was Correct, Great Product for my puppy.
I purchased a 4 pack of K9 Advantix II for my dog. I discovered that my son's two dogs were suffering from fleas because he had not been financially able to afford a flea treatment. We put K9 Advantix II on the dogs and in just a couple of days all their fleas were gone! My dog has not had a tick all summer and she is an outside dog. K9 Aadvantix II is the best!
frontline does not work on my dogs, K9 works well, I have 3 outside dogs and so far no fleas! It was the only thing that worked for us last year and fleas where really bad.
Great product. We had previously purchased the leading brand flea & tick medicine and it did not work at all. This started working in the 1st day!
We have four large dogs who suddenly had ticks. We have used the Advantix II for three months and are still finding live ticks on the dogs...First we washed the dogs with a tick/flea shampoo, sprayed the yard every 3 weeks, washed all bedding, and vacuumed. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Sam's vet prescribed Advantix II and it works great!. The only problem is that the vet is so expensive on the products they sell. Thankfully, I found Entirely Pets and can keep Sam on Advantix for a more reasonable price.
Bailey (my pooch) had stopped responding to her usual flea/tick medication. I switched to Advantix and have had no continued problems. I have recommended this to her groomer, who has since recommended it to many other of her clients.
This is the best product for flea control. Entirely Pets has the best price, even including shipping that I have found so far.I will continue to order all my pet needs from entirely Pets...Thanks guys!
Best price for best product of this kind. Used on 84 lb. German Shepherd.
I have used k9 advantix 1 for years and loved it. i could use it on the dogs every 6weeks and not 4. then this II came along and has failed everytime ive used it (6 different dogs, 4 different breeds). I have even tried it on 2 other dogs that didnt live here. the fleas didnt even die... i wasted a lot of money ordering the 12 month supply. will not attempt to try again! now its off to looking for something that works...
this has been the worst year for fleas. I had to switch from the other product I was using to Advantix. Seems to be working.
We live in a wooded area in Texas. This product has kept both fleas and ticks off of my dog. I can bathe her in between applications and it seems to continue to do the job.
my two dogs, ruby & buddy have been using this product for over 2 yrs. unbelievable, no more ticks, no more fleas, and yes, no more horseflies,etc. as soon as you put this on, it seems like our dogs are smiling all the time. if your dogs are having problems with all of the above, i suggest you try this particular product. oh, and make sure you go by body weight, very important.
I switched from Frontline Plus to this because they repel alot more and there is not a greasy mess on my dogs coat for a couple of days after application.
I have used all flea products and this is the best.Used Frontline on my dog and she had a reaction to it.This product is great and I tell my friends and family to use it.Been very happy and will not change.
great and works very well every month!!!
We had major flea issues. They were all over the house, biting our kids, and making our dog crazy. She would not stay in our yard because of the fleas. Other flea treatments had not helped. Less than one day after treatment with Advantix our dog was back to normal.
I live on a small ranch in Texas. I have always used a flea/tick product on my dogs, however my Rott was continually bothered with flies. My neighbor told me about Advantix so I ordered it and tried it on both dogs. Since using K-9 Advantix I noticed a HUGE difference in the amount of flies bothering my Rott. I've seen maybe one or two on her, but they land and then take off again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The flies would bother my lab and this is a great product that keeps them away. It work great for flees and ticks also.
After using Frontline plus for 5 years, K9 Advantix II wins hands down. Ticks dead before they dig in. Not a flea to be found. Easy to use applicator.
This stuff works great, my dogs have had no fleas or ticks or lice this year, works much better than the Frontline Plus I used to use, I will be using this from now on
The price was right, the shipping very fast, the application easy and seems to be working so far. No complaints!
Have used this before with good luck but this time I found a tick on my dog (house pet) 2 days after applying the K9 advantix. Not very please about that.
I'm always leery of trying new 'topical flea' products. So many of them don't work anymore, but I was forced to since the product I was using was discontinued. Hadn't tried this one yet, the reviews looked good for the most part, and I'm happy to report that the product works. Haven't had a problem with fleas at all.
I love the product. It works great and is cheaper than 1-800-pet-meds.
Been using for years for our dogs...........always has worked and we have been very happy with the product
Thank you for the recent order of K-9 Advantix II. The price is better than most and I do not have a problem with fleas if I use it monthly!
We have never had fleas or tics on our pets since using advantix, but wanted to find something else since buying from the vet was costly. Using EnitrelyPets let us continue to use Advantix but at a way lower cost
We've been battling ticks. Advantix II didn't work 100% as advertised but is helping us control them so far.
After 6 weeks now,my 2 dogs have no ticks at all.It was the worst season for ticks.Before i used Anvantix, they got 2 ticks each... Very satiafied.Thanks.
Fantastic product. Works very well to prevent flea infestation. Thanks

Thanks to one of the brightest offensive coaching minds in America, the University of Toledo has the requisite firepower to do more than just hang with No. 25-ranked Minnesota when the teams meet Saturday at the Metrodome.
Rob Spence, the brains behind UT's prolific attack, will do everything possible to put junior quarterback Bruce Gradkowski in the best position to win.
UT's no-huddle is no joke.
Spence will spread the field. He'll flood UT's lineup with receivers. He has so many potential big plays at his disposal it'll make the Gophers' heads spin.
The biggest secret in Spence's multi-dimensional offense is UT's ability to run the football. A powerful ground game is the key to an explosive passing game.
The Rockets run to set up the pass. They also pass to set up the run. Just when the defense thinks it knows what's coming, it doesn't.
The strange part, however, is that Spence is nothing like the offense he coaches. He's as quiet as head coach Tom Amstutz is outgoing.
When Spence is around his players, you can't shut him up. Around the media, he's Marcel Marceau.
Spence is fiercely loyal to Amstutz and his players.
Amstutz wooed Spence with an unheard-of contract for a mid-major offensive coordinator. It's been money - $100,000 per season - well spent.
Spence may be the best offensive coordinator in college football this side of Southern California's Norm Chow.
He's innovative, his system is skill-player friendly and he's been successful at every stop along the way.
That includes I-AA Hofstra, where the Flying Dutchmen averaged 34 points a game and were ranked No. 5 in the country in 1999 with Spence as the offensive coordinator.
If Spence can do wonders at a non-football power like Hofstra, he can be successful anywhere.
The Rockets should love the fact Spence isn't a media hog with a personal agenda. He isn't campaigning for a head coaching job.
The less people know about Spence, the better chance UT has of keeping him.
The problem for UT, however, is that Spence is so good other schools will almost certainly come calling - if they haven't already.
A superior college offensive coordinator is worth his weight in touchdowns. As long as
Spence is on the payroll, the Rockets never have to worry about rebuilding.
With Spence maneuvering players around the field like pieces on a chess board, UT will always be in contention for the MAC title and a Top 25 candidate.
Spence allows Amstutz to focus on the defense. The best advice anyone can give Spence is to leave him alone.
His system guarantees success. He's at the top of his game.
Still wondering if the Rockets can move the football against Minnesota? Don't.

well located property with 10-15 mins walk to the centre of Sultanhemet and 10-15 min walk to the nearest tram. very close to local supermarkets, restaurants, fish market and shops. bit tricky to find but call the number provided and they will guide you. We took metro and tram from Ataturk airport and then walked to apartment. The road the apartment is in is opposite "best shoes" shop on the main road and the front door to the block is opposite the front door of the Ottoman tulip hotel. Apartment comfortable and clean, wii fi a bit patchy, water went off for a few hours twice but this is normal for Istanbul. keep kettle filled and spare water. You should enjoy your stay there.
I booked this studio for my parents, they really enjoyed staying there. Saban is a great host and was very kind to help them during their time in Istanbul. It was very tidy and was cleaned every day. Furthermore there was a safe in the room. Everything was very good, thanks again :)
First to be positive: It was all clean, towels and when necessary also sheets were changed daily. The location of the apartment near the center is excellent and the host is very friendly and always helpful
Now the negative: the apartment was announced as free of barriers, suitable for wheelchair, which is a lie. There are three very high steps down to this souterrain-appartment and even after the quick constuction of a ramp by the landlord we still needed a very strong man to get in and out. The bathroom is not accessable by wheelchair either.
The furnishing of the living room and the kitchen is very poor and one of the bedrooms has neiter window nor climatization. But as we luckily had nice weather during our stay we just used the apartment for sleeping and: Istanbul is just wonderful.
We enjoyed our weekend stay in Istanbul and were glad that we chose to stay in this apartment.
The location was conveniently located near (15 minutes walking) many of the major tourist attractions in the historic center of Istanbul. Additionally, it was located within a couple of minutes from a tram stop in case the weather was not conducive to walking. The gentlemen that met us at the apartment to give us the keys were very courteous and waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived. The apartment was as described and perfect for 2 people. The apartment was clean and we definitely appreciated the daily housekeeping service.
As mentioned in other reviews, while not an issue for us, it's worth noting that the stairs leading to the apartment are relatively steep and narrow. All things considered, we would not hesitate to stay at this apartment again if we found ourselves in Istanbul.
Very lovely flat in a great location. It's a little smaller than it looks in the pictures, and the view of the sea is over the top of some rather crumbling rooftops, but neither of those things detracted from our enjoyment. It's a few streets away from the crowds, but only a few minutes' walk from a busy little restaurant area with great food and live music. Saban and Cem were very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended.
We booked this apartment twice, on our way into Turkey and on our way out however we only ended up staying in it once. I will explain further.
We stayed at this studio on the way into Turkey for 4 nights and enjoyed our stay. It is beautifully styled and newly decorated. Meeting Mohamad to pick up the keys was easy and everything was straight forward. This place is a 5 minute walk downhill from Beyazit tram station so the perfect location as well and you can walk to all the major tourist sites. There are supermarkets nearby and the cleaner comes every day, just like a hotel really! A note to the light sleepers out there, it can get noisy at night like any other city with a workshop next door and the rubbish truck coming out at night time so may not be the best option for light sleepers.
After going down to the coast we came back to Istanbul and had booked this apartment again. We had asked Mohamad if we could check into this apartment early and he said we could but we would have to come near to their office to get the keys. We went to meet them on our arrival and he sent Saban to meet us who didn't turn up for 50 minutes. I had to keep sending international text messages to find out what was going on. We were annoyed to say the least seeing as it was our last night in Turkey and they had really wasted our time. When he turned up he said that our apartment wasn't ready (when Mohamad had said it would be) and that he could take us to another apartment. This made us even more annoyed because we wanted the one we had booked. Since we didn't have much time and they had already wasted our time we went to the other apartment which was close to the Blue Mosque. Although bigger than Duzgun Sk 10, it wasn't nearly as nice as that one in my opinion. Later on that evening we were trying to prepare dinner and the cooker wasn't working either. There was no gas at all. I think another reviewer has written about a similar experience. On this second occasion the service was very poor indeed. Their communication skills needs to improve as well although it may be a language barrier but from dealing with Mohamad his English is very good. So a word of warning: Make sure you get taken to the apartment you actually booked! These guys would have been given 5 stars if this hadn't happened and we had stayed at our original apartment and checked in early as we requested.
We stay for 4 nights here. It was so lovely place with just 5 minutes from the Blue Mosque, and also many more attraction places. We just walked even to the Bosphorus River. The house was very spacious with kitchen, fridge, washing machine and really feel at home. The workers (Waled & Ali) were so helpful, cheerful and really good care of us while we stayed there to make sure everything was fine.I definitely will come and stay here again for other visit and recommended to the others! can wait till the time..
Everything was fine. Thank you for your hospitality.
We had a mixed experience with this stay, but on the whole it was quite satisfactory. Saban arranged transfers from the airport, & after letting him know our flight was delayed we were met accordingly-thanks Saban! We weren't, however, delivered to our booked accommodation but to an alternative. We we're told that there were some repairs being done & that we would be taken there the next day. We subsequently found that our room had been double-booked. The alternative accommodation was ok, similar location & very clean. The following day we were taken to our booked room only to find later it wasn't the one we booked. Again the room was very clean, comfortable, plenty of hot water & good location (there are some great seafood restaurants nearby very reasonably priced). The grand bazaar is not far, but a climb up the hill. Saban was very gracious in acknowledging the errors & arranged our shuttle to the airport at no cost. Even though it wasn't the experience we originally booked, the accommodations & encounter with Saban & Mohammad were positive & recommendable.
Our stay was fantastic, Saban has been very helpful, we have felt like home. Highly recommended.

If you've been outside recently you may have noticed a growing trend - literally. People are becoming the size of barns. We've gotten to the point in North America, where if one is able to walk through a doorway without turning sideways they have a proud sense of accomplishment. Statistics released this year indicate that 1 in 4 Canadians and 1 in 3 Americans fall into the obese category. Not just overweight, not chunky, not big boned. GIANT FAT ASSES.
A running theme in this blog is lack of personal responsibility, something that applies directly to the obese community. Instead of taking a good long look at themselves in an over-sized mirror they do what society does best, they play the blame game. If you ask obese people, you will get a myriad of answers as to why they weigh more than a small horse. It's always the fault of genetics or they have a thyroid problem" I have a glandular problem It's excuse after excuse without addressing the truth, which is simply THEY EAT TOO FUCKING MUCH.
As someone who fell into the obese category over 4 years ago and is no longer in it, I can say the key to weight loss is a extremely simple It's Calories IN vs Calories OUT. There is no magic pill, there are no shortcuts. Of course you could be a giant fucking tool and do that fucking idiotic lap-band surgery and either die immediately after surgery or spend the rest of your life licking an ice cube and calling that dinner. So stop watching TV get your fat ass off the couch and go for a walk, leave the car at home and walk to work *GASP* A WHOLE FOUR CITY BLOCKS??!? YOU MONSTER! Stop treating Ronald McFucking Donald like your dealer and eat a salad with veggies once in a while. Not a salad with a litre of full-fat dressing either. I don't want my tax dollars to go to these fucking hambeasts in "mobility carts" rolling around this fucking city.
The picture you see above inspired this rant and is sadly an actual menu items in many places in the US and is being introduced here at the "Canadian National Exhibition"... Think of a really really shitty County fair, make it 10 times worse and that's the CNE here in Toronto. Last year they had deep fried butter & deep friend mac n cheese. This year the big attraction will be the Krispy Kreme burger which is a beef patty topped with a slice of cheddar, tomato, lettuce, bacon and an egg will be wedged between two glazed doughnuts. The heart attack snack packs about 1,000 calories
Personally the thought of sugary doughnuts combined with a burger makes my stomach turn but have no doubt it will be a giant seller and the CNE will makes tons of money from it while the fat fucks get fatter and struggle to walk up a flight of stairs.
In the coming years they better find a way to deep fry insulin, because at this rate we're going to need it.

Ace Pilot, a mercenary for the galactic order S.U.C., needs to stop the rising power of the Krill empire from taking over the galaxy one planet at a time.
You play as Ace, the S.U.C.'s secret weapon. Follow the adventure in Story Mode. Create limitless battle scenarios in Action mode!
Hell, even watch the cut scenes while auto-skipping gameplay after you've beat it, if that's what gets your kicks!
Story mode is incredibly cutscene heavy! If you're let down by that, you can always have instant fun in Action Mode.
Follow us right here on Newgrounds by Faving our accounts. That way, you'll be updated with all the awesome and exciting stuff we have to offer in the future!
**CHROME USERS - The only problems that have been reported lately are in Chrome. If your game freezes up, feel free to send our programmer a message about what happened (like what level you were on, what you were doing, etc).
Game updated 7-20-2012: We figure that if you're here you're here to play the game, so we decided to make a few modifications. We took out medals, and everything to do with the API (if you want more info on that reasoning, message EldritchAbomination). This game is about the story, so we took out saved progress and now you just have access to the whole game; play whatever you want whenever, no worries about having a saved game. We are currently addressing the issue of the "Shared Creations" thing on profile pages. That is a result of saving the game, not something we wanted to happen, which is part of why we took out saves. Oh, and we made it where only simple ads show up instead of videos.
- You do have some options in the game. You can change all of your controls, and there is a keyboard mode if you are using a laptop (or just like the keyboard).
- There are also several options for effects and debris that you can turn up or down depending on your computer.
Help us out! buy the epic soundtrack to the game made by Brian Sadler!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game has beautiful story :D I laughted so hard at that jokes, like the one punch to the boss, or phone sex
Really good job guys :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
If you don't make another version if this with upgrades and different ships you can use, utilizing the full capability of the story mode and/or action mode. I'll cry.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Big game here kinda
I can see that there was some decent effort that went into this, maybe some extra could be added but thats for later to discuss, i hope you have time to upgrade and such, but anyways you have a good entry here and i was really pleased with the outcome aswell. Well i must say this was one big file, I would like to give some CONGRATS on the award you have really pushed the limit to acheive the award and well worth the time and effort you put in so once again congrats on the award. this is a top quality production and there is so much to it, and adding medals was just one step that made this even more awsome, so i can forgive the size because you packed somany good points into this, and the "STORY" and animation was great it just worked so well with this whole piece, the voices were even top notch. So great game great story and great visual fun. on a last note some subtitles would be a nice option, with all the dialog going on and such. So after checking this entry out i am even more impressed then before, but again tis could also use more additions and extras, so that may be something you can and should focus on, i will give more insight on that shortly.
These types of submissions never hurt to have some sort of improvment envolved on them, and i can see it could use a lil bit of changes and clean up, so i have gone ahead and suggested a few ideas and hope you do look into them more. This was not hard to understand, but it would be a nice option to have some subtitles, gives the flash just that bit more effort, and incase anything was missed you have the text right there. and it doesnt have to be much either, even having the option to toggle on or off would even be another nice idea and option for viewers and users playing or watching, just an idea or two.

My 9 wt Shootout |
2006/9/9 22:43 From Delaware Co.
Posts: 267
I went to Marblehead Fly Fisher in De today to do a shootout between The Sage XI3 9 wt and The Loomis NRX 9wt . In hopes of choosing my future new toy. The lines I used were a 9wt Rio outbound and a Orvis depth charge line 350 grains. Each rod was cosmetically sound but the Loomis had this new harder cork that I never seen before and it felt great in my hand .I did two casting rounds with each rod using both lines. At first both rods were neck and neck with each other in casting performance the Sage felt a little more smoother than the NRX but I needed to work more to get the same amount of line out . The NRX felt different then any other rod I have casted before but I felt like it had more power to shoot more line than I was casting . Here is a pic I took of the amount of line I casted with each rod using the Orvis line.
With no clear winner after the first round I decided to try both rods again. So I started casting the Loomis again with the depthcharge line and I guess I was warmed up after the first session or my timing with this rod was clicking but I started casting the NRX consistently 115'. At first I thought it must be the line so I put on the outbound and produce the same results . Here is a pic with about ten feet of backing hanging out my tiptop with the fly line and backing connection about six inches off the ground . Out of curiosity I tried the XI3 again and it produced the same results as the first time I casted it with both lines . So the clear winner for me was the NRX I can't wait to get one

I have a 7wt nrx and love it. It was my first "big deal" rod, and has a magical feel in this 24 year old's hands.
Congrats. Is that the older NRX? It has those blue bands, I thought they did away with those accents for 2012?

St. Supéry Estate Napa Valley Moscato 3-Pack

Imagine, for a moment, you were looking into a goblet filled with vibrant hues of pale yellow and green. You smell the tropical aromas and you can only imagine how delicious the flavors will be. You lift the goblet to your lips, look down at the wine-
-and suddenly, you see the dark, cruel eyes of a kiwi bird, about to stab you with its beak. This is what WON'T happen when drinking a St. Supéry Estate Napa Valley Moscato.
Because, you see, the St. Supéry Estate Napa Valley Moscato is full of flavors like mango, honeydew, stone fruit and orange rind. It contains a nose of peach and lime zest. And yes, it's full of kiwi. But kiwi the FRUIT, not kiwi the BIRD.
Now, we're not saying kiwi the bird lacks style and grace. Everyone we've talked to tells us that kiwi the bird is charming, and enjoyable, and the sort of bird you'd want to come and hang out at your party. But to drink? That's when you want the flavors of kiwi the FRUIT. And that's what the St. Supéry Estate Napa Valley Moscato offers you, with a few other additional flavors we've already mentioned above and that we're not going to repeat here because you should have been paying attention.
Drink the fruit, adore the bird. That's the St. Supéry Estate Napa Valley Moscato way.
2011 St. Supéry Estate Napa Valley Moscato 750ml 3-Pack
This wine presents with vibrant young hues of pale yellow and green. Opulent tropical aromas combine with peach, mango, kiwi, orange and lime zest. Explosive flavors follow with similar Kiwi and mango, a hint of honeydew, stone fruit and a zippy orange rind finish. This sweet wine is terrific, rich and exciting, finishing clean and balanced.

The year started with very cold conditions and high rainfall. Winter was said to have the fourth highest rainfall in 40 years. Spring moved temperatures up into the 70s, with late May bringing more rain. June began with significant rainfall during flowering, reducing crop yield. The summer provided good sunshine, although it was cooler than summer's past. Late August and September were warm and encouraged good ripening. Overall 2011 was a cool season that provided intense, rich Moscato.
After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the Muscat Canelli was harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate flavors. The fruit was received in the cellar, where the grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled prior to fermentation. All fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. The final blend was completed soon thereafter to capture the lovely bright qualities and intensity of flavor of this varietal.

I have to share this with you. No better argument exists for taking a chance on love.
The quote is from the September 13, 2010 issue of Time, in an article titled "Everlasting Love," by Richard Corliss, about the recent release of the movie Never Let Me Go, based on Kazuo Ishiguro's book of the same name. Recently selected to carry on the Spiderman franchise in the role of Peter Parker, Andrew Garfield portrays Tommy in the movie.
'Here's the way life is: whether we live to be 30 or 90, we all have a death sentence hanging over us. As Garfield says, "What's important in our lives is that we make the best of this, that we immerse fully in love." Never Let Me Go is a plea to live and love well, so that long before our time is up, we will truly have reached completion. That way, we can live forever [p. 61].'
I hasten to add, love for ourselves as well as for each other. And I can't add anything more to the connection made between the love we experience here on earth, the continuation of who we were in our loved ones after we're gone, and the immortality of our souls.
Something to think about.

Thanks for your comment, Brahm.
Unfortunately, I haven't read Ishiguro's novel, although I'd like to. I couldn't let the opportunity to say something again about love pass me by, especially as it relates to loving ourselves, which is a theme in many of my posts.
Thanks again. I appreciate it.

I'm making a website that has a fixed width en height. Is it possible to center this vertically? Horizontal is easy using a pagewrap with margin: 0 auto. I didn't find anything about vertical center. Thanks.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I always use the margin.
margin:0 auto centers the site, this is true. the 0 is the up and down, the auto is the left and right. You could do
margin:100px auto; 100 being whatever number from the top you need it to be
Thanks for your reply.
I thought of that, but this isn't what i want. I would like to center dynamically, just like horizontal center. So when you scale the browser window, the content flows with it. For example if you have a website with say 500px width and height and you would like to position this exactly in de middle of the browser window. How could this be done in CSS? I know of a method using a table (using vertical-align on <TR>) but i would like to use only CSS for my page-layout. The reason for this is that my users will be able to select a different layout (CSS Selector). Use of a table would mess things up.
by the way: why doesn't "margin:auto auto;" work? :(
greetings Bert
(Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language :oops: )
Hi you can specify a margin-top using percent. Something like : margin-top:15%;
Look at this code snippet:
* { margin: auto; } #page-wrap { padding: 10px; border: #333333 thin solid; width: 500px; height: 300px; }
The 'box' is centered horizontally, but not vertically. Any comments?
gr. Bert
Thanks for your reply. How would this solve my problem?
havent tried it myself, but it looks like its working:
Thanks a lot. I'll have a look at this. Looks just what i needed.
a big cheers to Chris :D http://css-tricks.com/quick-css-trick-how-to-center-an-object-exactly-in-the-center/

The Ford F-150 pickup and Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins have owned the large pickup truck segment in the U.S. for quite some time now, but that could soon change, as the Wall Street Journal reports the Ram pickup is quickly gaining speed, giving its major competitors — especially GM — something to worry about.
Ram introduced the current-gen truck in 2009, but since then, the automaker has continued to improve the pickup with a higher-quality interior, premium features, new technology, and a wide range of price points within the lineup. As a result, Ram pickup sales increased 21 percent last year, while GM pickup sales increased 16 percent. Even with the new Silverado and Sierra in the picture, GM truck sales so far this year are down 15 percent, while Ram pickup sales are up 24 percent. Looking at the bigger picture, the WSJ reports that over the past five years, Ram's share of U.S. large truck sales increased 2.7 percent, while GM's share slipped 3.4 percent. While Ford's share is still greater, its 2.9-percent increase over five years isn't that much more than Ram's.
A major reason why Ram trucks have been so successful is the way they've been priced. While the average GM truck sold for $38,100 in February, Ram trucks averaged $35,700 that same month, while the Ford F-Series came in at a $38,600 on average. Although Ram trucks are aggressively priced, GM isn't panicking just yet. The WSJ reports Chuck Stevens, GM's chief financial officer, said that the company aims to do a better job at selling its lower-priced trucks, but that it won't change its pricing strategy. If the automaker doesn't do anything though, the Ram could sneak up on it.
After all, we did name the Ram 1500 our 2014 Motor Trend Truck of the Year. We praised the new diesel that's coming to the market. During testing, judges were surprised by the qualitative and quantitative results when comparing the diesel V-6 with a typical gasoline-powered V-6 or V-8. Our judges rated the EcoDiesel the highest in ease of towing as well. "Doesn't feel like it's struggling at all. Once it gets up to speed, it chugs along, smooth, fairly quiet, and with little effort. Operates at low rpm, and it's easy to forget you're towing," we said.
Keep in mind that the Ram also won the previous year. "As we established last year, the rest of the Ram 1500 is class-leading in just about every other respect. Ram Boxes are still the best thing since pre-sliced bacon. The interiors are thoughtfully laid out and the controls are designed to be intuitive and easy to operate even while wearing gloves," we wrote.
The fact that Ram is offering deals doesn't hurt it, either. This month, buyers can save up to $6200 on the 2014 Ram 1500 crew cab. Although Ram has always come in third place in yearly truck sales, it is very possible we could see a different trend for 2014.

Hi there, thanks for your reply. What you have said makes perfect sense as far as what my children will see and think is okay. My husband and I tried counseling. Our last separation was in 2008 for 8 months and I really thought we were going to make it. I had told him when he moved home that in order to forget the affairs and the leaving that I really needed alot of alone, one on one time with him outside of our home (where I live and work). He did this initially and then stopped. He said he stopped because I was "bitching" about things in general - not that he stopped.
In regards XXXXX XXXXX friend, he is not demanding a divorce, but what he is saying is that someone is going to get hurt and urged me to clear my head and if I am going to get divorced to move forward and handle it, not because of him, but because I need to have respect for myself (my husband has quite a temper and has shoved me around before but has not hit me with an open hand). I asked if filing for divorce was enough and he said that my husband and I could reconcile before the divorce was final.
My friend has gone as far as to say to pretend that he doesn't exist as I go through the process because he does not want me to make a life altering decision because of him. He is divorced and when he met his now ex-wife, she was in a serious relationship, left that relationship to be with him and then realized it was not what she had hoped for and left him. So I know that is coming into play here - in fact he says it is - he says he is not comparing me to her, but comparing the situations and he doesn't want anyone to get hurt.
I am so confused. I love my husband but I do not see us reconciling. I have fought so hard...... As for my friend, I thought everything was going good and I think the Thanksgiving holiday might have upset him. It was 2 days after Thanksgiving that he said that we needed to do the right thing because what we were doing was not fair or realistic (we have not had sex - have spent time together only once but talk daily) and that someone was going to get hurt. However on Friday an uncle who was like a grandfather to me passed away and I asked to talk to him (about my uncle and his decision to walk away) and he said yes. We ended up talking on the phone for 4 hours until 2 am. We talked about so many things - it was great but we never came to a conclusion as to if he was going to bend or not.
I don't know what to do.... I don't think our state recognizes legal separation and I don't want to say what state I am in. On top of that, my husband and I are both Christians and we know what God says about divorce. Yet, he plans on just us living together until he decides it's time to go - if he ever does. Any further advice you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you very much for your response. Our marriage has been very difficult and I know I am to blame too since I have held on to some anger.
What about the situation with my friend that I talked about in my response? What are your thoughts about him and what he is saying in regards XXXXX XXXXX my marriage? I am very concerned aboutt this situation as well. What did you think about him saying that we have to stop right after Thanksgiving but then spending 4 hours on the phone with me the other night? Thanks for your help. I am obviously trying to sort this out.
That's okay. I would really like for you to answer since you have been working with me. I thought you were offline so I took the option to have someone online answer. Thanks in advance.
Okay I will do that bonus option, I just don't want to mistakenly end the discussion by hitting accept answer to apply the bonus.
I know that he did what he did on his own. I know he has tried since we reconciled 3 years ago, but he has done what he thought was best, XXXXX XXXXX I specifically requested (lots of time alone) in order to be able to trust him again (as per my earlier post).
Our children have been through so much with him leaving before and the last thing I want is to be the one that forces the divorce issue. I don't know if I can handle the guilt from doing that. My friend is right though, I do need to respect myself.
I think the issue with my friend is that while he does get that divorces take time, he thinks that I need to respect myself and take action for my own sake. At first I thought someone moving out or filing would be enough for him but Friday night he said the divorce would have to be final because too many people reconcile part way through. I understand his concerns, but I cannot rush this process for him or anyone else. I am just upset because we were friends first and have a great friendship that we realized could be something more and I don't want to lose that. I don't know what to do in regards XXXXX XXXXX I don't want to constantly contact him but he won't usually initiate contact first because of my husband. I want to respect his wishes but him pulling back has caused all sorts of doubts...... is he being honest as to why he is pulling back? If I give him space, how will he know I still am interested in him?
Yes, I have some self esteem issues from this marriage. I tend to feel like I am being selfish when I think about my wants and needs. I tend to always put others first and my husband will agree with that sometimes but then other times will say I am selfish and that he can't please me no matter what he does. I am going to see counseling for myself to work through these issues. I have to, or I will keep repeating the pattern.
Please let me know your thoughts on what I have said here about all subjects. Thanks.

This is a quick poll, pretty straight-up, with only 3 options to choose from above. Are you a loose or MOC (mint-on-card) collector? Do you open your figures - and other collectibles too - or keep them packaged?
Keep in mind that pretty much everybody has a few of the other kind, so that's why it says "mostly loose" and "mostly sealed", we're not talking absolutes, you can have 75% sealed figures and still vote for "mostly sealed". There's also a poll option for 50/50 (half loose, half sealed), so make sure you click the one that most closely applies to you.
Also, remember when you post in the thread that everybody collects differently, you don't have to dump on MOC collectors just because you rip open that packaging the second you get it out of the store, we're all in this hobby together.

Crackers? Advertisement Yadier Molina is on the disabled list after thumb surgery, but he was still hanging around while his Cardinals played his brother's Tampa Bay Rays. Jose was behind the plate tonight and in between innings, Yadier had third base coach Jose Oquendo drop off some crackers for his brother. On his way to third base between innings, Oquendo left the crackers right on home plate before continuing on to his post. Molina picked up the crackers and kept them in his back pocket during the inning.Yadier seems to be yucking it up with his teammates so is this some kind of brotherly insult? Or maybe it's just the natural reaction to seeing a guy call a baseball game with crackers sticking out of his butt. Advertisement [MLB]Reply29 repliesLeave a reply

Seattle Retro Game Expo!
Sep 18I'll be at the Seattle Retro Game Expo this Saturday and Sunday, so if you're near by, come over and get a free button and say hello! The show is in a new location this year, at Paul Allen's Living Computer Museum in SoDo, which is a pretty cool space you should probably come check out anyway.
Plus, if you give the super secret coded message "ARCTIC PUFFIN," you'll get a double secret freebie! I REPEAT: "ARCTIC PUFFIN."
This message will self-destruct.
I'm a launch title on Amazon Underground!
Aug 28Okay, so Amazon has this new Amazon Underground thing where you jump through a couple of hoops to put their game app on your android device, and then download ACTUALLY free games on it (not the kind of "free" where it asks you to buy coins or energy or something every three minutes to power up enough to get through the next part, but the kind of "free" where you don't actually give them any money).
The cool part is that ZOMBOCALYPSE NOW, my epic, novel-length choose-your-own adventure book where you play a stuffed bunny in the zombie apocalypse, is one of the launch titles! And my understanding is that when you download and play it, I actually get paid? Somehow? If you have an Android phone, you should go get it! Right now I'm at like #600 in the free app store, LETS ROKCET IT ALL THE WAY UP TO 450 or 500.
Zombocalypse Now in the Humble Bundle
Apr 28The app version of the first Chooseomatic book, Zombocalypse Now, has just been added to the Humble Tin Man Mobile Bundle! Which means you can get it along with 11 other RAD gamebook apps, name your price, and decide how much of that price goes to charity! It's a WIN/WIN/WIN/WIN/WIN, so if you have an Android phone or tablet, YOU WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO CHECK THIS OUT
But jump on it now, because as I write this the sale will only last for 6 more days, YOUR TIME IS RAPIDLY DIMINISHING

If you're planning on attending Emerald City Comicon or Norwescon in a few weeks, swing by my table and I'll ramble at you in a incoherent, sleep-deprived haze and show you one million baby pics!

Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast announced today that it will release the highly-anticipated new edition of the classic fantasy role-playing game "in summer 2014."
The news comes almost two years after WotC announced it was developing a new edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rules, and just days after it concluded an open "D&D Next" public playtest that included more than 175,000 players around the world.
The Fight For The Future Of Video Games is a warts-and-all look at the clashes between the video game business and its passionate fans.
"Just like a perfectly balanced party, Wizards has worked cohesively with fans, designers and partners to create the next generation of D&D," Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for Dungeons & Dragons, said in a statement. "We whole-heartedly thank all of the play test participants, whose feedback has proven instrumental in shaping the future of Dungeons & Dragons."
The publication of the as-yet-unnamed fifth edition of the D&D rules will coincide with the 40th anniversary of the game, which was originally published in January, 1974.
Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of , says more details about the game will be available in early 2014.

Team 202
April 13, 2016
Grade Three WAX MUSEUM was a HUGE SUCCESS!!
The students of Team 202 really threw themselves into the work and preparation for our annual wax museum. Each student researched his/her chosen historical figure using both book and internet sources. Each child then used those facts to create a unique speech to be used during our afternoon and evening performances. Their effort was evident and their performances were truly amazing. Congratulations to all on a job well done!
PARCC Planning
As April speeds to a close, we continue to work on a variety of math skills and concepts, reading comprehension skills as well as writing skills. The dates of the third grade PARCC testing have been scheduled (Please see "Important Dates" below) and the children are ready. There will be three English Language Arts testing sessions and four Math sessions. Each session typically last about 90 minutes and is scheduled in the morning. We will follow our usual daily classroom schedule around these sessions. I have, and will continue to, emphasize that the children should work hard and try their best but not worry so much that they don't feel well. They have worked hard all year and this is another opportunity to "show what they know".
C.A.S.T. is Cross-Age Science Teaching. It is a program designed and implemented by Falmouth VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools). During CAST, eighth graders, who have participated in special training, come to third grade classrooms to teach the third graders about electricity. Each eighth grade student works with a small group of third grade students to provide lessons about electrical safety, using small motors, creating circuits and other engaging hands-on tasks. Our class had two sessions last week and will have our third session on Thursday. Ask your child about it today!!
Important Dates:
- April 18-22 ~ Vacation week
- April 29 ~ Walk to School Day (details to follow)
- May 3, 4 and 5 ~ E.L.A. PARCC testing
- May 10, 11, 12, and 13 ~ Math PARCC testing
Thank you, as always, for your cooperation and support. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

A Walgreens customer in NYC is suing the drugstore chain for $1 million, alleging they mistakenly gave him wart remover when his prescription called for eyedrops.
According to the NY Post, the man had routine eye surgery and was given a prescription for Durezol, the brand name for difluprednate, a corticosteroid used to treat post-operative ocular inflammation and pain.
Instead, claims the plaintiff, he was given the similarly named Durasal, a salicylic acid solution used to remove warts.
Not surprisingly, when he put the wart remover in his eye, he says he suffered "grievous personal injury."
As you can see from the image above, the box for Durasal says "Not for use in eyes," though we have no idea if he received the box or if this message is repeated on the bottle.
At least he didn't make the same mistake as this woman.

Bosh on Pacers' tactics: 'Our guys are getting punched in the face'
After another physical matchup between the Heat and Pacers, LeBron James and Chris Bosh took issue with the Pacers' physical play and the officiating.
More Heat-Pacers: James called for flagrant | Wade, Stephenson tangle | Recap
INDIANAPOLIS -- If the Miami Heat have grown bored with the regular season portion of their push for a fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals, they have not gotten tired of the gamesmanship that is essential to getting there.
Right on cue after an 84-83 loss to the East-leading Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, LeBron James once again took issue with how hard fouls on him -- and hard contact dealt out by him -- were officiated.
That must mean that it's March, and the playoffs are right around the corner. Around this time last season, James raised similar concerns about the physical play of the Chicago Bulls, a team Miami would see in the postseason.
"I don't want to fall into the pit of what's going on," James said, when asked in the visiting locker room if he felt he was being targeted by the Pacers when he went to the basket. "You see me and Blake Griffin, we take some hard hits. They call it how they want to call it. It's very frustrating though. Very frustrating. As a player, you play the game the right way and sometimes ... "
His voice trailed off. But his teammate, Chris Bosh, took it from there -- doing what he couldn't do when James received an inbounds pass with two seconds left and passed to Bosh for a potential game-winning jumper that missed badly.
"Our guys are getting punched in the face, man," Bosh said. "You know what I'm saying? We're getting punched in the face and clotheslined out there. ... I guess maybe we need to really decipher what flagrant means? Because I don't feel that they were going for the ball in plenty of situations, but especially in those two situations."
The plays Bosh was referring to were common fouls called on Luis Scola and Ian Mahinmi when defending James. Mahinmi wrapped up James on a drive to the basket, reaching for the ball with one hand and around James' shoulder with the other after getting beat on a drive. Later, Scola swiped across James' face and his arm while defending a jumper. Neither play was ruled a flagrant; in my book, Mahinmi's could've easily been a flagrant-one because he grabbed James around the shoulder and neck. Scola's contact with James' recently broken nose appeared to be inadvertent.
"When you can come down and clothesline somebody, it's open season," Bosh said. "People are going to get hurt. We're going to have to revisit what flagrant foul means. ... Somebody got punched in the face and clotheslined. I guess it was a play on the ball."
After the Scola play, James drove to the lane into Roy Hibbert, and his elbow connected with Hibbert's chin as he pump-faked and tried to finish over him. James was called for a flagrant on that one.
"I made a basketball play," said James, who had 38 points on 11-of-19 shooting, eight rebounds and five assists. "If I could jump in the air and elbow somebody in the face in the air and still try to finish a play, I must be a Kung Fu master or something. I mean, his face happened to hit my elbow or my elbow happened to hit his face. I mean, that's crazy."
The physical play that is to be expected between the East's top two teams -- now separated by two games in the loss column -- was only one of the many layers that will add intrigue to their anticipated collision in the conference finals for the second straight year.
The Greg Oden experiment as a rim protector against Hibbert was decidedly ineffective; Oden started the game and was torched by Hibbert, who had 13 of his 21 points in the first quarter. With Ray Allen out, Erik Spoelstra gave heavier-than-usual minutes to Rashard Lewis and Udonis Haslem, who combined for seven points and eight rebounds.
"They need to be in the rotation," James said.
After George Hill missed two free throws with 2.3 seconds left, Spoelstra called what he admitted as an ill-advised play after a timeout with two seconds remaining. Lewis inbounded the ball to James, who passed to Bosh on a flare for a missed jumper.
"There's not much you can do with two seconds," Bosh said.
The Pacers' Lance Stephenson was up to his old immature tricks, the likes of which will cost Indiana in a playoff showdown with Miami. Stephenson and Wade were assessed double-technicals in the third quarter for shoving and staring each other down. After Stephenson connected on a driving layup past Wade to give the Pacers a 76-72 lead with 5:01 left in the fourth, he was whistled for a second technical -- prompting a mandatory ejection -- for staring at Wade and taunting him. Wade stared back, smiled and then was all too happy to point out Stephenson's antics to official David Jones.
There's no defending Stephenson's lack of awareness in that situation, but the second technical was a stretch. Earlier, after a sequence that saw he and James bumping and chattering at each other, James was fouled by Stephenson, converted the basket, and dropped the old "and-one" sign in Stephenson's direction -- letting it hang there for all to see. No technical was called.
What does it all mean? What does a March showdown between the Pacers and Heat portend about the one that everyone knows will happen in May?
"Nothing," James said.
And that's about right, except for one thing: There will be plenty of drama.

Move over there is a new young beauty on the scene in Hollywood. Well maybe not new in Hollywood as Emma Roberts has been around a few years on the acting scene, but definitely new as an out in the public smoker. Over the last year Emma Roberts has not been afraid to flaunt her smoking and has even been a bit outspoken about it. Quite brash and a bit sexy for someone so young.
Pictures of Emma Roberts smoking have been surfacing slowly but regulary for about a year now. Pretty much everytime a new candid hits it is stunning. Emma Roberts is truly Hollywood's hottest young smoker.
She has been acting for years getting a foothold in the industry as a result of being related to Julia Roberts and Eric Roberts. As a youngster she got solid roles in Nancy Drew and Hotel for Dogs. She has already smoked onscreen in Lymelife and her smoking scene in The Art of Getting By is fabulous. With new movies Adult World and Celeste and Jesse Forever we can only hope for more scenes. She is definitely not shy about smoking in the movies or out in public.
Below are three more wonderful pictures of Emma Roberts smoking. She is easily my pick for Hollywood's hottest young smoker right now. Be on the lookout for more wonderful pictures of her to surface in the weeks and months ahead!
