This laptop: PEAQ PNB S2415-I5N1 is available in mediamarkt Netherlands...
One day while i was taking a casual look at all the laptops displayed in a mediamarkt store - i happened to see this big 15.6 inch laptop - immediately i started typing on it and found the kyeboard was actually very good to type on - and i found the display of the screen good too.... what more i came back - did some more research and decided to place an order online through the mediamarkt online store -
The price is around 450 euro - I got some 50 euro discount without which it would have been 499 Euro I guess...
I bought it online from mediamarkt site on 27.may.2018 and got it on 28.may.2018 - fully sealed....
....Unboxed on 28.may.2018 and have been using ever since. At 500 euro the specs are awesome and you can't get such quality at such a low price. the specs are give below -
Operating System Windows 10 Home Resolution 1920 x 1080 Optical drive No Form Factor Fixed Screen Aspect Ratio 16: 9 LED backlight yes Screen size (inch) 15.6-inch Display size (cm) 39.6 cm Screen Diagonal (cm / inch) 39.6 cm / 15.6 inches Image resolution Full HD
Specs are as shown below...
Display: 15.6 inch (1920 x 1080)
Processor: Intel Core i5-6200U
Storage: 128 GB eMMC + 1 TB HDD
Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 520
Now let me write the pros and cons -
pros -
1. cheap price and fabulous quality
2. keyboard is nice and big - the keys have a nice responsive kick that i found very comfortable... i tried a few other expensive laptops but was massively disappointed by the key repsonse my fingers received... just to let you know - i just love to type and i type very fast and if i don't get a proper keyboard - no matter how impressive the other features are - it will be a big NO NO - but not with this laptop - i was impressed and still am after 30 odd days of rigorous use... a big thumbs up
3. display is quite good at this price...
4. pretty fast response time - switch it on and it doesn't take much time to come to life... its pretty fast
cons -
1. Biggest disappointment is the battery - battery doesn't last that long and your power cable has to be somewhere near...
2. There is no indication of caps-lock - no way to know that your caps-lock is on or off - no light indicator on the Caps Key!
3. The DOT (or fullstop) key is very small and it's an irritation. Bad design!!!
4. Build quality of laptop is not good; screen looks very much vulnerable as the bezels are so weak and screen is wobbly/shaky if you just touch it gently...
5. shift + right or left arrow - should selct the words - which doens't work at all and that's irritating... really really irritating...
FINAL VERDICT - considering that it is only 499 Euro and all the features it has - I would still recommend this... however if you can spend more - definitely go for a branded and better laptop with good build quality.

Posts Tagged 'LOAD216'
LOAD29!!!!! Say Cheese!
I did it!!!!!!!!!! LOAD216 is complete!!!!
I am so proud of myself for finishing…several times I thought about quitting and I have a LOT of fabulous friends that helped cheer me on and get me through this month. Thank you to all that have looked at my pages and left comments. I truly appreciate it!
My final tally for the month is 34 pages (counting both pages of double page layouts) and 90 pictures scrapbooked!!
Here is my last page for February using the February Sketch from GrandDiva's Creative Corner/Scrappy Friends and my second entry for my scrap group's filmstrip challenge. I used the Say Cheese II collection from Simple Stories for this picture of my friend, Stacy, and I on our last Disney World morning. The filmstrip was cut on my Silhouette.
Here is the sketch~ (which I flipped so I wouldn't cover the Magic on the bottom of the paper)
Thanks for stopping by!
Good morning!
I am sharing Days 26-28 in this post, so close to the finish line!!
Day 26~ I used Sketch Savvy #158 for this layout and Bo Bunny's Mamarazzi2 collection.
Day 27~ page design is my own. I'm really happy with how many layouts I did without sketches this month! I dug out some Basic Grey from a few years ago, Spice Market. I thought it went well with this ride in Adventureland.
Day 28 ~ Another page design of my own…this one was hard to photograph with the glittery title! It says Hallowishes Dessert Party. The pictures are not that great because the weather was funky. Horrible fog/cloud cover over the fireworks. I still wanted to document the party though since it was something extra we paid for. I used Pebbles Boo! collection and then added the glittery title and rhinestones from my stash.
I will be back later for Day 29! I have a plan so hopefully the page will go together easy tonight.
Three days of LOAD rolled into one blog post!
Here is Day 22. A red/white/blue color challenge…forget which country's flag now. I used pictures from the UK pavilion in Epcot. We had a quick little photo shoot with the phone booths. I bought this Pink Paislee Switchboard paper and die cuts two years ago specifically for these pictures. Glad I finally got the page done!
Day 23~ I have no idea why I picked these pictures for Day 23, but it was a fun layout for me to put together using Basic Grey Adrift collection.
Day 24~ The prompt was Culture – Sports. Naturally I chose baseball LOL. These pictures are from last summer. Mike took me to a game for my birthday and we had excellent seats by the on deck circle for my team. I am so glad I took so many pictures of David Ortiz! This upcoming season will be his last. Hoping to make it to one game to bid him farewell. I am getting great use of the Doodlebug Home Run collection!
Thanks for stopping by!
LOAD21 – Strike a Pose
Good morning!
Getting down to the wire now, two days left of LOAD! This page is from last Sunday and I used the Week 2 sketch at ScrapMuch.
I worked on this very late at night…wish I had thought to ink some of the strips in the background to make them stand out more. Everything, except the title lettering, is from the Basic Grey Max & Whiskers collection.
Here is the sketch~
I will be back later with another post of layouts!

Even if your grandmother isn't on Twitter -- or hasn't even heard of it -- you know that she'd have some wisdom to provide in the ways of social media.
That's the premise behind Chacho Puebla's Grandmother Tips, a collection of photographs with straight-shooting advice like "Don't think you are a photographer just because you use Instagram." Featuring his great-aunt in photographs shot by his sister, the Madrid-based creative director pulls together old-school settings alongside buzzwords and winks to the age of 2.0.
The recently released Volume 2 kicks off with such gems as the timely, "Kiddo, never buy the first Apple product -- wait till they fix the bugs in the next model." So while this advice might actually be coming from Puebla's vast experience in the world of social media, does it seem to ring more true when it seems to be from the mouth of Granny coupled with pretty typography? There's no question it does -- but you know you'll be hitting "like" on your own post in just a few minutes anyway.

At The Amazing Blog, one of our favourite parts of the job is finding new, home grown brands to introduce to our readers. One such brand we've come across recently was Mila's Luxury Fragrance.
Specialising in luxury lifestyle fragrances that embrace the best of British craft and creativity, Mila Luxury Lifestyle Fragrances was built on a family history of trading in essential oils that inspired the founders to further the tradition and offer a modern take on olfactory craftsmanship. With the two founders so intimately involved in the developmental process, it gives them full control over the ingredients, ensuring that only the very best are used to create their luxury range of home fragrances. And as we're always on the hunt for the latest home fragrance to evoke a sense of mood in our humble abodes, Mila's Luxury Home Fragrance are the perfect find. Available in two carefully blended scents that balance the timeless with the new, they're the perfect addition to any room - be it your bedroom or your office.
The Chiara fragrance perfectly captures the fleeting glow of first light with its sense of ritual renewal, while the powdery top notes give way to deep, exotic nuances creating a unique and deeply complex and musky fragrance. And if that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, why not try The Scuro scent? Embracing the moment of nightfall, the earthy undertones bleed through soft, velvety top layers that evoke a sense of mystery intrigue, perfect for a night-time fragrance. We tried the Chiara Candle...
Available in candle, diffuser or bath oil format, Mila's Luxury Fragrances are a decadent treat for the senses and are available to buy online.

Kevin Hart posted a pic of the 'Jumanji' sequel and it looks wild!
"Jumanji" is one of those movies that all '90s kids hold near and dear to their hearts because it was so iconic!
SEE ALSO: Remember Thackery and Emily Binx from 'Hocus Pocus'? Yeah, they look totally different now
Naturally, when it was announced that a sequel would be happening, with a completely different cast, fans weren't too pleased. However, Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Kevin Hart, the hilarious comedy duo who are starring in the upcoming flick, have promised to do right by the late Robin Williams.
Luckily, we just got our first glimpse at filming and it looks so good!
Oh yeah, did we mention that Jack Black is in it, too?! Needless to say, we are pretty pumped to see how the Rock and Kevin Hart bring the movie back to life.
Check out more from Kevin Hart in the gallery below!

It will be up tomorrow morning... right now, the top contender is "Pretty Star." :)
Gah! See??? Pretty star. :)
It took me 3 quadrants to get measurements I was happy with, so I would only need to cut once. :)
Wow... It's going to be greatDespite being a bit of a pain paper piecing does look fantastic :)
To me it looks like a 'Little Star Bright'. Very pretty indeed!
I adore this block. It reminds me so much of those expandable sphere toys (http://www.amazon.com/Hoberman-HS104-Original-Sphere--Rainbow/dp/B00000JN49/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1406143209&sr=1-1&keywords=expandable+ball).
So, playing on their words, what about something like "expanding star" or "star explosion"? Or, combine it with the origins of the 8-point star and call it something like "explosion compass" or "direct to you".
I don't like paper piecing either. The star is pretty though.
Oh that star is pretty!
Spinning Wheel Star... it looks like a Ferris Wheel to me ... you know me I would go with something funny like Bueller... it is pretty!

Live streaming from Ballymahon Mart
Ballymahon Mart has gone live and is one of the first in the county to embrace technological advances that will reach out directly to its target audience.
The live streaming of marts has been in and out of the news for the past couple of years, however over the past few weeks it seems that it is now here to stay as a second mart - Mayo-Sligo Mart - also placed itself at the core of the initiative.
The system allows farmers to bid online for cattle. In some cases registration is required, however it is possible to view proceedings at Ballymahon Mart without registration.
Meanwhile in Ballymahon Mart after three weeks of trials, the livestreaming has been very successful and with no registration system required, a single click is all it takes to view the mart live.
The service provider is Farmersforum.ie who says its focus is on using the interent to improve delivery of farming information.
"There is no charge or sign up fee required for farmers to access the Ballymahon Mart live stream,†added a spokesperson. "Farmersforum.ie have for the past three years been delivering the most comprehensive range of Irish Mart Reports in one single place and provides this service free of charge to the farming community.â€
There has been ongoing debate in the farming community about buying cattle online with concerns expressed about marts being bypassed and cattle selling on deals sites.
"Such technology improvements will be welcomed by part time farmers not having time to get to the mart,†the spokesperson continued. "There has been a high level of positive feedback from the farming community about being able to go online and see the latest cattle prices at their local mart and this is seen as a big help for them in planning the best weight to sell at and the likely value they will receive if they sell soon.â€
Speaking to the Leader, Ballymahon Mart Manager, Lilly Trot said the move is positive.
"We are delighted here in Ballymahon to be one of the first in the country to become involved in live streaming,†she added. "Farmersforum.ie approached us about this initially and we said we would certainly come on board. I think it will be very successful and I want to thank everyone for all their support and help to date.â€

I like the definition of the word, "virtual" in the Merriam-Webster Learners Dictionary. It defines it as "very close to being something without actually being it." That, in essence, is the definition of a virtual office. A virtual office is something very close to being an office, without actually being one.
It's not something ethereal or intangible like the concept of virtual reality. We don't put you to sleep and plant a subliminal notion in your mind that you have an office, where you can hang out at the water cooler with gorgeous members of the opposite sex. There are things that are real and there are things belong in the realm of fantasy. We're talking about something real, functional, and utterly practical.
At the Executive Office Center at Fresh Meadows, located in Queens NY, a virtual office is an office that you can use on on as-need basis. It's not an office that you can move in to and decorate. The offices are already decorated. You can bring a picture of your family, and place it on the desk while you work, if you like. You can use one of our offices for an hour, for a day, for a week – whatever you need – and pay for it by the hour. Prospective tenants of the Executive Office Center have a range of virtual office service packages to choose from, as well. You can see them online at: https://executiveofficefm.com/virtual.htm.
Most of our tenants use our office suites as a place to meet clients. These rooms are usually used for meetings with individuals or two to three people. If you need to meet with a larger group, you can use the Executive Conference Room, which seats twelve around the table. We have about forty attorneys who regularly use our offices, and nearly ten psychotherapists, as well. The other tenants of the Executive Office Center are mostly small businesses and non-profit organizations. All of our tenants are featured on our consumer website: http://everythingunder1roof.com/
Can you use the Executive Office Center as a regular business address? Of course. A listing of your business is placed in the lobby, along with other tenants and virtual tenants of the office building. You can use the address on your stationary, and as a reference location for Google and other search engines.
Can you use the office to receive mail? Yes. At the Executive Office Center, you get your own secure mailbox. Even better than that, we'll receive your packages, Fed Ex envelopes, and even call you if it looks like something important.
Having a virtual office (or a serviced office suite) at the Executive Office Center is better than having a regular office in a lot of ways. You don't have the burdensome fixed costs associated with a traditional office space. You also don't pay for for internet service or telephone use. At the Executive Office Center, it's on the house.
And there are other significant benefits as well. We have a receptionist who can provide you with personalized telephone answering. You have to pay for it, of course – but not much. One thing for certain is that it's much less expensive than hiring a personal receptionist. Our receptionist also courteously greets your clients when they come into the office building.
Additionally, there is a beautiful cafeteria, where you can have lunch, watch TV, grab a cup of coffee, or enjoy a snack or a can of soda from one of the vending machines.
And let me add one more thing about the aforementioned Executive Conference Room. It is equipped with a 46″ wide screen HDTV, ideal for videoconferencing and/or business presentations.
So, is a virtual office a real office? It's real, alright. In many ways, it's better than a real office. And it's a real deal for anyone who comprehends its exceptional value.

Bonsai - A Traditional Art Form From Japan
Moreover, bonsai is not just about trees. A bonsai composition for presentation includes a vessel and a table arranged in an appropriate spatial setting. The timing of a bonsai presentation is also very special. It happens in front of visitors, when the tree is in its most beautiful state. A large portion of the time the artist spends with the bonsai to achieve this state is dedicated to painstaking watering and pruning. The popular image of a bonsai composition involves a traditional Japanese room alcove replete with a hanging scroll and suiseki, or small decorative "viewing stones." According to Kato, however, a bonsai composition does not have to be placed in an alcove and it is possible to enjoy bonsai in a contemporary setting as long as it conveys a story that smoothly
integrates all elements of the space where the bonsai is placed.
"The important thing is to display the bonsai, appreciate it, and develop a connection with it. This forms the foundation for more sophisticated bonsai cultivation techniques and understanding of the tree's individuality."A life with bonsai is a life with a higher aesthetic consciousness. It involves learning the traditions and historical background of this ancient art and considering the contemporary living space from the perspective of bonsai. There, you can find the condensed essence of Japanese sensitivity.

|ps2 quality (1:30pm est fri mar 25 2005)
gran turismo 4 has thrown down the gauntlet for all upcoming ps2 titles. they have set the standard for the console, progressive scan support, anti-aliasing,….
there's just no excuse for blocky indistince graphics, or for that matter slow frame-rates. ea take note, madden has a number of graphical deficiencies, fix them, and go progressive. – by maddedfan
|crock of sh!t (2:24pm est fri mar 25 2005)
yeah, just like gta iii and vice city were ps2 exclusives…..
look for xbox soul calibur 3 soon. – by elmer j fudd
|better not! (2:40pm est fri mar 25 2005)
soul calibur iii better be released on gamecube as well! i love the gc controls for that game. – by danny b
|wow (7:16pm est fri mar 25 2005)
im surprised it wont even come out for xbox 2 which also comes out this year.also, will the game be online – by gin
|madded fan! (11:30pm est fri mar 25 2005)
god i hope your right
ea has a really stupid policy of wanting everything to look the same on all platforms which is why the xbox and ps2 versions of madden always look very similar and in my opinion its a crime so if they can make the ps2 one look better lets make the xbox one better too! – by saint
|odd (7:46pm est sat mar 26 2005)
odd since i've read that soul calibur ii sold the most copies on the gamecube….. – by j___dub

|big deal…. (6:58pm est sun mar 27 2005)
sc2 sucked, and i have tekken 5 (which i'm sure will still be better than sc3 when it comes out). – by theguy
|sc2 (7:35pm est sun mar 27 2005)
was my favorite xbox game… they damn well better make it for xbox again – by gei
|gamecube is love (10:17pm est sun mar 27 2005)
i couldn't live without soul calibur, and the playstation 2 is dumb! my gamecube is the one that needs attention, and it should get it with soul calibur iii! i mean, the only awesome games on the gamecube right now are tales of symphonia, skies of arcadia, and soul calibur ii! it needs the love! namco, you bitches, make it multi-console to appease everyone! – by peach
|why ps2 and not cube? (12:05am est mon mar 28 2005)
the cube version of sc2 sold better than either the ps2 or xbox version. i don't understand why this isn't coming out for gc! – by dookiebrains
|no! (9:44am est tue mar 29 2005)
soul calibur 2 was such a cool game. i'm not usually into this kind of game but when a friend introduced me to this series of games i was amazed. great fun, although the missions on the second game were a bit repetative and frustrating. i really hope that soul calibur 3 will be brought out eventually on the xbox like the gta games. if they have any sense, they will do. – by a goddamned tramp
|history (2:45pm est tue mar 29 2005)
i think that namco is screwing the pooch here. i bought the xbox version, but only because of spawn. im sure most of you don't know this but soul blade (the original) was a playstaion only game. and soul caliber i was a dreamcast only game…granted both were awesome titles that i love, i would just like to point out that the ps2 isn't the only system and that no one sells well on a multi-system game by going to one system afterwards….did they not learn the first time with soul caliber 1….. – by revan the ninja
|none for x-box and cube! (5:37pm est wed mar 30 2005)
hahahaha, mothafuckas, to those who doesn't own a ps-sony-2, you'll be sorry coz i'll be able to play soul caliber iii. hah!

|namco is a sony whore (11:43am est fri apr 15 2005)
that sucks its not on ngc!
all namco wants is sony's big ass money! – by by john
|so? teckmo is an x-box barbie- bimbo (12:50pm est tue may 03 2005)
dead or alive started off with the ps and those bithces at tecmo decided to go with the x rated box. nintendo has always had mario. hell they recently made capcom their new bitches. rez evil4 is a gamecibe exc.resident evil series also started with the ps. do you sense a pattern here? we the ps2 base deserve exclusives such as tekken, virtua fighter, and soul calibur. graphics is not all that make the counsole style and physique all come into play and the ps has always all it all. for all u x-box and nintendo bitches rot in hades cuz hell is above y'all. – by koroma
|nintendo did make capcom their harlot (1:00pm est tue may 03 2005)
what will nintendo steal next? the street fighter series?… x-box has the the halo series, fable, and jade empire. multi platform game releases are lucrative but diminish the demande… if yopu really what soul calibur 3 go buy a ps2. when i wanted to play halo i bought an x-box. i agree with koroma. besides nintendo also has the metroid series so all you haters can eat shit and die. – by hankner
|ya, (5:58pm est thu may 05 2005)
hankner n' koroma are right.
and ya that's rite, namco does want sony's big ass money, because xbox n gc(sucks) are poor and have none of dat cha-chong. no offense xbox peeps, but full offense gc morons. – by yayay
|sony did it (9:31pm est sun may 08 2005)
i think sony in a way made namco to make the game a ps2 exclusive (by offering some financial incentives). sony sure as hell knew that soul calibur ii made other systems more popular than the ps2, so they got scared and decided to make sure that the next one (after all the hype) would be a ps2 exclusive. sony is nothing more than a money grubbing company that likes to do whatever it can to get the most profits (i.e. keeping the prices on it's well outdated system the same as the xbox). – by fuk_sony
|you are all so stupid (9:12am est fri may 13 2005)
why are you whining like little bitchs?
gamecube is good…
xbox is good…

|end of the line. (9:23am est thu may 26 2005)
this will be the death of the soul series unfortunately.
to anyone who's remotely serious about their fighting games sc2 was unplayable on a ps2. it looked horrible, and the slowdown whenever there were some lighting effects was just horrendous.
we can only hope that namco has plans of giving us a quality sc offering on the next gen consoles, and this is just something to tide gamers over while grabbing sony's $ at the same time. – by scfan
|soul calibur iii (11:48am est thu may 26 2005)
all i hear is a bunch of whiny little gamecube(horrible console) and xbox(horrible console) gamers whining because game developers decided that the ps2 was a better console for sciii
1. more people own a playstation
you gc and xbox gamers alwasys have to whine when the ps2 gets a little bit of attention. microsoft is dead and nintendo is slowly dieing (sega was a better hardware company)and you all know it. when the ps3 comes out your microsoft and nintendo lives will end as you know it,thats what microsoft and nintendo get for laying all their aces out on the table before the game is done.
|soul calibur 3 (11:54am est thu may 26 2005)
i agree!
the ps3 is better.
and tekken 5 can compete with the so called genuis of sc as well as other fighters! ex: street fighter,famous franchise from capcom(game leader and better at making games than namco and tecmo hence re succuss)it sold more than sc 1&2. – by ps2 lover
|wtf (12:22pm est fri may 27 2005)
"to anyone who's remotely serious about their fighting games sc2 was unplayable on a ps2. it looked horrible, and the slowdown whenever there were some lighting effects was just horrendous."
none of that is true. as mentioned before they keep the graphics the same on all consoles for multi-format games even if the console can handle more, simply because it is less work than to make 3 graphically different versions of the game. so basically whtever version of the game you have has exactly the same graphics as the ps2 version.
|gc has good games alrdy (8:04pm est thu jul 07 2005)
i mean, gc has games like mario, zelda, dk, and alot of other games that ps and xbox dont have, but still, scii looked way better on gc then psii so they better make sciii for gc (and i dont mind if it comes out in 06), they just better do it.
i mean, gc may have less games in total then psii and xbox, but the games r way better and aside from that, gc has zelda, which rocks out loud! – by zelda fan
|i agree with zelda fan (8:07pm est thu jul 07 2005)
i agree, scii looked much better on the ngc then it did on xbox and psii, so if there makin sciii in 06 for gc, then that's cool, as long as i get to play it on the gc (which has good handeling and better graphics). – by nintendo player
|totaly, zelda fan's right (8:12pm est thu jul 07 2005)
ppl always think that ps2 is better than gc, but don't ppl notice that psii makes a bunch of games that just suk ass and they come out alot, while the gc doesn't often create games but wen they come out with a new game, it rocks, and is always fun (ex: zelda, dk, mario, star fox, etc.) – by super gc fan
|go zelda fan (8:13pm est thu jul 07 2005)

|boo ps2 fanboy (8:18pm est thu jul 07 2005)
no way, if u own a psii u must have noticed the way that wen an oponent blocks a strong hit, there's a flash of light that almost covers both characters, and, if u ever played gc scii, u don't see that happen, u just see one spark that covers a little bit of the sword or weapon (normally the tip of the hitter, and the part of the weapon they hit). – by mega gc fan-dude-bro
|i agree with mel (8:25pm est thu jul 07 2005)
sry for the late message lol, i just found the message boards to read lol. but yeah, all the systems r good and all, and all should have games that arn't trade game designs by certain systems, like zelda shouldn't be on psii (and it's not and never will be), halo for the xbox shouldn't be on any other system, and devil may cry shouldn't either, but games like sc, ea games, etc, should be for all systems, not just one, but if they'r releasin sciii for gc and xbox later in 06, then that's cool, but they shoulda just released sciii on all systems in the first place – by all systems fanbro

|pos 2 and soul caliber 3 (7:09am est fri jul 29 2005)
i'm not going to go into all the horror stories of the pos 2. i'm not going to mention that the thing breaks right out of the box and sometimes even while its still in there. i shouldnt mention the fact that you cant stand this thing upright even though sony said you could. and lets forget about the fact that the online status is mediocre at best.
you pos 2 owners have awsome games that i would love to have on my xbox. namely tekken and kingdom hearts. but i can understand you keeping those games. i wont complain. tekken is pos exclusive…thats fine. besides…we have halo. and if a system didnt have "its" games then it would only be a peice of hardware.
but why make sc3 a pos 2 exclucive when sc2 sold better on xbox and gc? why forget about a large majority of namco customers? these are questions that can only be asked because there is no reasonable answer.
i for one am very disapointed namco. i hope you come around soon. – by spartan
|namco's reasoning (like it or not) (9:03am est sat jul 30 2005)
soul clibur 3 was going to be multiplatform, and they were planning for it to be on xbox 360. the problem came up when microsoft changed chipsets and asked their developers to make their games hi def. namco had already been throgh the development process for a while, and they considered it too late to turn back. instead of saying, "let's just put this on the first xbox," they decided to pull support for xbox owners. they didn't want to piss off xbox owners, so they pulled gamecube support as well (so it wouldn't look like namco had something against xbox owners). timing was the issue here. oh, and spartan is right. i have alot of friends who have sworn by pos 2 only for it to break later. none of my friends' pos 2's still work. one friend of mine has alredy been thorugh six pos 2's, and he just bought his seventh. he's rich (thank god), so i guess it's not an issue for him. – by nightmare
|corrections (9:22am est sat jul 30 2005)
a couple people in here claim that dead or alive was on playstation first. dead wrong. it was first a sega saturn game. they decided to add it to playstation, only because the saturn went belly-up. part two was dreamcast exclusive until they decided to make dead or alive 2 hardcore for pos 2. the thing is, it just looked worse on the pos 2 than on the dreamcast. that's not just a fanboy opinion. read the reviews for hardcore, and they'll agree with me. so, because team ninja loved the dev kits that microsoft had to offer (and hardcore was crap on the ps2), they switched to xbox and struck a deal where they could catalog their whole doa series on xbox. finally they could have every game in the series on one console. with soul calibur, you have to buy every console (including the now hard-to-find dreamcast) to be able to play every game and every character. i'm an xbox owner, and would just love to play as link and heihachi. i'll need all three console's, anyway, so i guess i'll just have to make more money gta style. – by soul still burns
|oh well… (1:04pm est sat jul 30 2005)
hey nightmare…thanks for clearing that up. i had'nt heard that bit of news. it does make sense seeing as how namco would hate to come to bad terms with the monopoly that is microsoft.

however…you should'nt be so mean to those who have been sucked into the hype that sony spews out.
it will take some time for them to understand. when they see that sony has no online play, no blue ray, and nothing else they promise on pos 3…the xbox and gc community will gladly accept them into our fold. – by spartan
|spartan makes no sense (11:49pm est wed aug 17 2005)
sony has no online play? that's funny. i just finished playing midnight club 3 online.
fucking anti-ps2 morons. you're just as bad as xbox bashers.
|my 2 cents. (4:19pm est thu aug 18 2005)
the fact is, almost all of the online ps2 games are also on xbox and have always gotten better reviews on xbox for their online play. they promised online when they were trying to compete with the dreamcast, yet they failed to deliver any online games until 2001. the original package in which sony had promised a modem with did not come with a modem – when sega, who didn't have nearly as much money as sony, released a modem with every console. (by the way, lack of high-quality games did not kill the dreamcast – piracy did.) square enix was disappointed by the poor quality of online gaming on ps2, so they struck a deak with microsoft to have a free version of xbox live on xbox 360 that will let you play online rpg's.
sony has horrible customer service. i've counted five peoplewithin my influence that have had to go through five or more ps2's, and sony won't take the blame for any of it. they do stupid things like advertise the original model of the ps2 standing up on it's side, knowing that already that this can cause it to break.
the new thin ps2's don't have cooling fans, and in the first week of their release at just my local ebgames alone, there were at least four returned to the store because they overheated.
now, sony is a good company. they make some good tv's, computers and media players among other things, but it seems like they're trying to cut some corners with ps2. i like some ps2 games and envy ps2 owners for some of them, but as far as the console itself, sony's going to have prove themselves when ps3 comes around.

|ps2 exclusive? (2:22pm est sat sep 03 2005)
doesn't playstation 2 already get tekken exclusive? they shouldn't have to take soul calibur away too. the ps2 already has enough fighting games to last you 1+ years and gamecube lacks in that genre. this should be exclusive to gamecube at the very least.
but if were lucky like re 4 and mk: deception, a gc and xbox verson would be released later and with exclusive contents. – by the universalgamer
|there may be hope… (12:23pm est mon sep 05 2005)
the launch of the xbox 360 is almost upon us. now…think about this. most players will probably ditch thier old xbox for the new shinier one. if thats the case…then sales would be limited if they put it out on the xbox. as far as gamecube goes theres is a chance that namco pulled support for it as to not offend loyal customers on xbox.
namco realizes the power of the xbox 360…for them not to put sc on it would be a mistake. and you can probably assume that revolution will get it as well. the fact is…the pos2 just cant handle it. the game cant achive the look namco wants it to have.

come on…"only"? what the heck is that supposed to mean? i'm sorry but ps2 was an overhyped peice of crap. to many of those systems were defective and sony sucks. so what makes me think the ps3 is going to be any better? i know because it will be a more expensive peice of crap!
the fact of the matter is the 360 is getting praise from developers. right now microsoft has attained just about every developer in japan for two reasons. 1) developers are saying that the 360 has no limits. 2)developing for the 360 is easy and cheap with microsofts development package.
now…i don't know much about nintendo's revolution but if its better than gamecube than it will be a system worth having.
ps3 has what? -seven controller ports. why? -you can dumb down graphics. hello!!! this throws up a red flag for me. -no more memory cards. -a hard drive you can buy later but its not for games. -blu ray will cost you guys 100 dollars per system. these thing plus the fact that ps3 owners are going to be the poorest people on the face of the planet after they buy their consoles and their games.

i was refering to the players…not the companies. sony has a terrible history of over promising on thier stuff. and then…they dont deliver. sony has a habit of suckering ps loyals.
please…please dont get me wrong. i like the games on the ps. and i'm just dying for some really good anime type games and rpg's for the xbox. yes…i envy you guys for having kingdom hearts…and i want some more giant robot type stuff. xbox needs a good gundam game.
but…sony has let me down in the past. thier system proved unreliable to me and my friends. and in conversation with random people in eb…i find that they too have had bad luck.

ok…this could be sony's doing but…here goes. my arcade guy talked to his namco rep. as of now…there are no plans to release soul calibur 3 in arcades. if this is true then that means ps2 owners are the only people who can play sc3…just like tekken.
and speaking of tekken. they have come out with a tekken dark revolution in japan. it is an update to the tekken 5 which will bring in new moves, stages, characters, and visuals. there are 2 characters that are new to the franchise and eddy is being added to the play list. there is one catch…it will not be coming out in the states. namco felt like it did not turn a big enough profit to do so. which is odd that they are worried about profit in this case.
i think some one is getting shafted here. that someone would be gamers in america. you can bet that if this is the start of a trend there will be no more sc and/or tekken in arcades.

|dropping gc instead of ps2…? (2:42pm est thu oct 27 2005)
here's something to chew on: why not release it on just gc instead of just ps2? think about it. the ps2 system is unreliable after a while, and sc2 sold more for the gc. i'm fully aware that sony has more money than nintendo and would gladly kiss namco's ass just to have it on their system only, but i think namco could've simply released it only on gc instead of only ps2. it's understandable that the didn't want to upset the xbox fandom by releasing it on both gc and ps2 and leaving xbox untouched, but why drop gc instead of ps2? i own both a ps2 and a gc, along w/ a copy of sc2 for each system. i personally liked the overall gameplay on the gc over the ps2 (3 main reasons: control, graphics, and link). wouldn't namco receive a better profit by selling it on the gc over the ps2? i mean, it makes sense… just my thoughts though. – by c-man
|dropping gc instead of ps2…? (5:59pm est thu oct 27 2005)
the game cube version was great. i have a ps2 and a gamecube i played both and the i saw little diffrence between the two. (a slight graphic diffrence is no big deal.) they are both good. and yes sony has more money so they can advertise better to sell the game (the gc version sold best because link is more popular among gammers then the other characters. alot of polls show this to be true.) i think the real reason your upset ,is because you dont wanna fork over more cash to buy a new system to play one game. well welcome to the club buddy, i had to do the same thing for other games before. and dont get me started with the fact that doa is an xbox exclusive. i feel your pain man, but whats done is done.

however…if anyone else would have made the ps2 i would have one. but sony has a philosophy of get it out even if its crap. so the pos2…(and you did'nt hear this from me)…stands for piece of s#!t. (notice o = of) :) – by spartan
|just some comments… (7:40am est sun feb 26 2006)
spartan, i think me-not-gonna-say was being sarcastic.
me-not-gonna-say, eyetoy is a good little piece of hardware, but software support dropped off for it shortly after it was released. hopefully sony's new eyetoy and microsoft's whatever-it's-going-to-be-called will get a lot of support.
by the way, sony didn't invent the use of discs. nintendo had the idea and started to work on it with sony until they started fighting with eachother. sony just kept (stole) the ideas, and that was the psone. before that, there were many failures. sega released a separate disc drive way back on the genesis, as well as nintendo (only in japan) for super famicom (snes in the states). there have been other attempts, such as the 3d0, as well.
as far as the weight of the xbox, you may be right. that's one of the major complaints, but it looks like ps3 is going to be pretty big as well, so you'd better get used to it.
lastly, i would love to see a multi-platform guitar hero. that's one of the coolest things i've seen. sony, however didn't invent that either. it's been in arcades in japan for years now, and they just recently decided to make a home console version. – by rahxephon
|ahem… (7:48am est sun feb 26 2006)
i have no idea why ps2 owners keep bragging about mgs4. if they were really hardcore mgs fans, they'd pay attention to what hideo kojima is saying in his numerous interviews. he says that there is practically no difference between the power of the ps3 and the power of the xbox 360. he also says that mgs4 could have been done on xbox 360. the only reason it's not on the 360 is because multiplatforming limits his ability to take advantage of the special features of each console. he wants to do an mgs online, and if sony's online service doesn't impress, that could mean that mgsonline will be developed for xbox 360. – by kojima360
|good point… (9:05am est sun feb 26 2006)
sometimes we gamers can become selfish. systems are so different from eachother that in order to multiplatform the quality would be reduced vastly. whenever i look at the exclusive tiltes for a system they the highest cream of the crop games for that system. (usually) – by spartan
|the ps3 is a good deal (1:02pm est tue mar 07 2006)
the ps3 as we all know will support blu-ray discs. well the dvd players that will support blu-ray will retail for $1000, while the ps3 will play blu-ray dvds and blu-ray games, costing $500, so w/ the ps3 youre getting double for half price – by me-not-gonna-say

first, console history
nintendo came to the us w/ the nes then sega came ou w/ the genises so nintendo made the snes, but when sega came ou w/ a disk drive for their system, nintendo went to sony (who made the sound card for the snes) and asked them to make a d-drive. then a ces n, anounced they are working w/ phillips instead. as the new wave of consoles came sony released the psx, then the psone. namco saw that home systems were getting popular. so they put soul blade on the… psone. when sega came out w/ it's dc they put sc on that. but it died. then they put scii on all three, consoles, one w/ anexclusive charecter. the gc version sold the most in the us, but ps2 sold most world wide. when devlopment came for sciii it was going to be on the 360, but the kits weren't ready yet so they pit it on the ps2 because of it's high user base.
none of you are worthy to have sc3, all of you have proved you didn't care about 2, just the console in was on! – by true sc fanboy

|ummm… (9:57pm est fri sep 22 2006)
i am a big fan of scii. also, i have a preference for gc, but i think that all the consoles are good in their own way. however, i have heard some really bad reviews about sciii. i count it as a loss because i was really hoping for it to be an awesome game. i heard there is almost no gameplay and that the ai is so artificial it has completely inhuman abilities to dodge, block, counter, etc. sure there are 3 new characters, but so what? if there is little gameplay and replay value, then it isn't really a very good game. – by anonymous

Knopf Q & A
A conversation with
author of
Q: Where did you get the inspiration for REMEMBER BEN CLAYTON, the story of a sculptor (Gil Gilheaney) who is hired by a rancher (Lamar Clayton) in West Texas to make a memorial statue of his son (Ben Clayton), who has been killed in World War I?
A: Twenty-five years ago I wrote an article for Texas Monthly about a sculptor named Pompeo Coppini, who had created some of the most iconic statues in Texas during the early part of the 20th Century. In the course of researching the story, I came across a very simple and poignant statue that stands on the courthouse square in Ballinger, Texas. A bereaved rancher had commissioned Coppini to create a memorial to his son, who had died in a fall from a horse. When I read Coppini's autobiography and came across a passage where the sculptor visits the old man at his ranch and spends the night in the dead son's room, staring at the boy's saddle against the wall, I started to feel the stirrings of a novel. But it stirred for a long time—it was over twenty years before I finally sat down to write it. And by then Coppini himself was gone, replaced by a sculptor from my own imagination.
Q: We hear you're a member of Capital Area Statues (CAST), a non-profit group based in Austin that commissions and raises money for monumental works of sculpture celebrating the history and culture of Texas. How did your work with CAST help you create the characters of Gil and his daughter, Maureen, both of whom are sculptors?
A: Working with CAST has been a thrill. There's nothing like the sensation of standing there as a crane lowers a statue into place, a statue you've spent years helping to envision and to raise the money for, and that you know that with any luck will be there for many generations to come. And because a statue is so permanent, the stakes are high. You've got to get it right or it will just be a perpetual eyesore. With the character of Gil, especially, I wanted to write about someone who might have flaws and insecurities, but who at his core has always had an unshakable confidence that he can deliver the goods, that he has a vision that the world needs. Maureen was a little different. With her, I wanted to track the growth of that confidence. But it's a bold thing to work in bronze, in a more-or-less everlasting form, and I wanted to write about people whose need to create was as unyielding as the material itself.
Q: How did your work with CAST help inspire lines such as "He liked the feel and smell of clay, the resistance of it, the idea that his medium was the abundant, alluvial matter of the earth itself....Whether you labored with a chisel to uncover a shape or modeled it with your hands out of pliant materials, sculpting was still an act of discovery, a drive to reveal something hidden, something lurking below the surface of the artist's imagination"?
A: Through CAST, and through the more direct research that went into this book, I've become friends with a number of monumental sculptors and had the privilege of watching them in their studios. It was fascinating to see how brutally physical the whole process is, from building armatures to shaping the clay to the final steps in the foundry in which glowing, boiling molten bronze is poured into the molds of the final statue. It was always fascinating and instructive to watch sculptors at work, and I learned a lot. But the real magic—how a little clay added or taken away here or there could make the difference between a reasonable faithful rendering and a real work of art—was always frustratingly elusive. I have no idea how they do that.
Q: As Gil creates the statue of Ben Clayton, it becomes clear to the reader that this process is an all consuming task for both artist and patron. Is this similar to how the process of sculpture works in real life?
A: That's certainly my impression. I'm sure some sculptors are more intense than others, but it stands to reason that a monumental sculpture requires a monumental effort. And to create a bronze statue, there are just so many steps involved--amassing research and visual reference points, creating multiple sketches and scale models in clay, building armatures, and then the whole complicated process of turning the full-size clay sculpture into bronze. On the other hand, it's a very fluid process. Sculptors, I've noticed, tend to work fast, and like writers they're usually not afraid of revision.
Q: You depict some difficult scenes of death and destruction on the battlefields of World War I. How were you able to make those scenes feel so real?
A: I read a lot of first-hand accounts from World War I, including regimental histories and official reports concerning the battle of St. Etienne, the fight depicted in the novel. In addition, I made two trips to France to walk the battlefield, once in the company of Tony Noyes and Christina Holstein, World War I experts who live in Belgium and were able to provide me with a vivid sense of what exactly happened at St. Etienne and what it might have felt like to be there.
Q: At various times throughout REMEMBER BEN CLAYTON both Gil and Lamar question their worth as fathers. As the father of three daughters, yourself, why did you choose to include this theme?
A: I'm not sure I consciously chose it. I've been a father for so long--almost 34 years--that it's almost a foundational part of my identity. The issue of fatherhood just rose naturally from the characters and the situations of the story. It wasn't something I set out to explore in any deliberate way.
Q: As a Texas resident, how does your landscape inspire you?
A: The truth is, any landscape inspires me. In this book, I had as much fun writing about the post World War I French countryside and Parisian cafes and New York City street life as I did writing about the plains of West Texas. But I've lived in Texas most of my life, and have spent a lot of time consciously or unconsciously soaking up the environment here. There's a deep pleasure in writing about a place you know so well, and a place that has shaped you in ways you'll never completely be able to account for.
Q: What is CAST's next project?
A: This fall we're unveiling a 7' tall statue of Willie Nelson, by a wonderfully talented Philadelphia sculptor named Clete Shields. It will be in the middle of downtown Austin and we think it's going to be a landmark for many years to come.
Q: What's next for you?
A: I just signed a contract with Knopf to write a novel about Abraham Lincoln, when he was a state legislator in Illinois, young and striving and desperately confused.

FRED WAGNER is a very creative guy! He has been making his unique artistic statements in both AOS Painting and Ceramic studios for 13 years. Fred prefers to use markers colored pencils and pens on paper for his colorful geometric designs. However, inspired by a visitor's purse, he substitutedfabric markers to design cloth for his "Fashion Model Bag". In Ceramic studio Fred is even more adventurous. He enriches his pottery and clever sculptural forms with incised lines, glazes with vivid colors and gives his art imaginative titles. (Tokyo is a favorite subject.) Fred may be a quiet worker, but he has a fantastic sense of humor.

Below is information that is important to keep in mind when you work with a sub-contractor.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
References – do a proper research, has the subcontractor done sports facilities in cooperation with your company before? Have they done sports facilities in the immediate area? Are they satisfied with the subcontractor and the performance of the sports floor/tools/artificial grass they have chosen?
Products and guarantees – is the product manufactured in-house or is it imported from Asia? To choose products that are made in-house often gives possibilities for customized and unique solutions, it's also a win for the environment with shorter delivery routes. Warranty period may vary from different suppliers and products.
One or many subcontractors – we believe that there are clear advantages to choose ONE subcontractor, a subcontractor that can offer a comprehensive concept and supply changing rooms/gym/seating systems/floor or artificial grass and service concepts. Benefits can be found in the installation phase (time savings) and that you only need to be in contact with one subcontractor.

EEOC: Federal law bans workplace bias against gays, lesbians, bisexuals
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled Thursday that existing federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The federal government and 28 states lack laws that ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, and Thursday's ruling gives legal weight to such claims.
However, it doesn't address discrimination in housing or public accommodations, nor does it guarantee workplace discrimination claims will succeed in the courts, renewing calls for federal legislation that's been stuck in Congress for years.
The EEOC ruled in 2012 that workplace discrimination based on gender identity is sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. With Thursday's ruling, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans now have at least some legal protection against workplace bias.
"Discrimination has no place in America, plain and simple," said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights advocacy group. "This historic ruling by the EEOC makes clear they agree workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, much like gender identity, is illegal."
The EEOC case was brought by an unnamed employee in the air traffic control tower at Miami International Airport who claimed he was denied a promotion because he's gay.
In a 17-page ruling, the EEOC said such discrimination is unlawful under Title VII, which prohibits sex bias.
The airport worker who filed the claim said a supervisor had made disparaging comments about him for talking about his partner, repeatedly calling him "a distraction in the radar room." At one point, the supervisor said, "We don't need to hear about all that gay stuff."
The worker claimed that his sexual orientation factored into his supervisor's decision to promote two of his colleagues but not him.
In its ruling, the EEOC concluded that sexual orientation is a sex-based consideration.
"Sexual orientation discrimination is sex discrimination because it necessarily entails treating an employee less favorably because of the employee's sex," it wrote.
The ruling partly accomplishes what gay rights groups have sought for years to achieve in Congress, where the federal Employment Nondiscrimination Act has languished for more than two decades. In November 2013, the Senate approved the law with 64 votes, including 10 Republicans.
James Esseks, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's LGBT project, called the EEOC ruling "a monumental step forward" that would provide protection to millions of Americans.
But Esseks added that courts couldn't be expected to interpret the ruling consistently and that a comprehensive federal law was still needed.
"Employers as well as employees deserve the clarity that comes with express federal and state protections that everyone understands," Esseks said.
The EEOC decision redacted the name of the airport employee who filed the claim, but it did name the defendants: U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and the Federal Aviation Administration. Federal agencies bar discrimination against LGBT workers.
Laura Brown, a spokeswoman for the FAA, said the agency is reviewing the decision.

More than 28,000 people filled Brooklyn's Prospect Park Sunday afternoon – and all of them were feeling the Bern.
Ahead of Tuesday's New York primary, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) of Vermont held a rally in Brooklyn's Prospect Park for 28,300 supporters, which campaign leaders say is the candidate's largest rally yet. Mr. Sanders and his supporters are excited about the record-breaking turnout because the self-proclaimed democratic socialist hopes to pull ahead of his competitor, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in Tuesday's delegate-rich New York primary.
"There were 28,300 people who came out to Brooklyn yesterday, not for a rock concert, but because they care about the future of this country, and they care about taking action to make things better, to be able to put some of these strong changes forward," Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) of Hawaii told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday.
Along with Representative Gabbard, other high profile appearances included actors Justin Long and Danny DeVito, who pumped up the crowd by saying "We feel the Bern!"
Sunday's crowd in Prospect Park is not Sanders' first big showing in New York. In late March, 18,000 Sanders supporters gathered in the South Bronx, and just last week another 27,000 gathered together in Manhattan's Washington Square Park.
But are large rally crowds indicative of primary success?
"If Clinton wins on Tuesday, it will be a reminder that crowds are nice but in a state as large as New York they aren't determinative. Remember that Hillary Clinton got more than one million votes to win the New York primary in February 2008; Obama got 750,000 votes to finish second," The Washington Post Chris Cillizza wrote on Monday. "If, on the other hand, Sanders wins – a replay of his come-from-behind victory in the Michigan primary – people will point to these crowds as the leading edge of that momentum."
Bernie supporters have often accused media of underestimating the size and importance of the senator's rallies, however, criticizing news companies of a "Bernie blackout," tying into his image as an underdog, anti-establishment candidate.
The polls still have Secretary Clinton winning New York, but there is also sign that Sanders is closing the gap. According to RealClear Politics, which aggregates public opinion polls, Clinton was leading Sanders by 13 points as of Sunday. The Clinton-Sanders gap has shrunk to between six and 17 points in April, far less than the 40 point lead a Quinnipiac poll gave Clinton last May.
"Those are the public polls. The bottom line is, let's look at the real poll tomorrow," Sanders told NBC's Today Monday. "Generally speaking, polling has underestimated how we do in elections."
Because regardless of the polls – or the record-breaking rallies – there is also the chance that Sanders and his supporters could pull a Michigan and come from behind to win the primary, unforeseen by pundits and polls. Before the Michigan primary on March 8, Sanders was behind by as many as 25 points.
"I thought it was an amazing moment in history," Bill Bernstein, a photographer in New York, told NBC News after attending the rally. "If he doesn't get the nomination this time, there are millions of millions of people who heard what he had to say. This is not going to die. This started something."

Our story begins with obedience. God began moving in the hearts of Pastor Gary and his wife Linda in the spring of 2015. They had served in their home church for over 30 years as Children's Pastors and when asked if they would consider planting a church in Goodrich Michigan, neither of them felt led to pursue this. But God continued to nudge, and before they knew it they were down on State Road peeking through windows. God began to give them a distinct call and fill their hearts with excitement that only God could do. God began to move and send the people needed to make this a Christ centered Church a family.
Family Community held their first service on September 13, 2015. Over the past 2 years this small group has grown to over 300 in weekly attendance. Our vision has been to welcome everyone and to allow God to change lives. Our mission has been to love, serve, and grow. Love God, love people, serve God, serve people, and to grow daily in our walk with Christ..
When Jesus was asked, "which is the great commandment?' he responded.
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39
The best days of FamilyNaz are ahead of us and there's a seat saved for you to be part of this incredible journey.

How so many of your children, must put you to the test. So here I am, one of them. Though my love for you couldn't be more, my self judgement, lies that I listened to, separate us Lord. When I see how perfect you are, the more I see my flaws. They are only forgotten when I'm at the foot of the cross. The truth is sealed, your love for us there, is revealed!

Young men are in a time of preparation and personal spiritual growth. Accordingly, parents and the bishopric and other Aaronic Priesthood leaders help each young man to:
- Become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ and live by its teachings.
- Serve faithfully in priesthood callings and fulfill the responsibilities of priesthood offices.
- Give meaningful service.
- Prepare and live worthily to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and temple ordinances.
- Prepare to serve an honorable full-time mission.
- Obtain as much education as possible.
- Prepare to become a worthy husband and father.
- Give proper respect to women, girls, and children.
Parents and leaders help young men accomplish these objectives in family home evenings, family scripture study, meetings, activities, and interviews and by encouraging them to participate in the Duty to God program (see 8.12).
Young men should not recite these objectives in their meetings or activities.
