As an older man, I've started having performance problems. Unfortunately there's no decrease in my libido. I think some of my problem is psychological. I'm also HIV+. And I find myself worrying about transmission even with condoms. But some of the problem is physical. I do wear a cockring and that helps I guess. Is there anything else I can do to increase my performance to match my libido?
Thanks for your comment and question. Your concern is a familiar one. Men regularly present this problem in my private practice and I also have a personal familiarity with the issue in my own life.
Diminished performance, at least in terms of a perpetually stiff dick, is a natural occurrence as we age. There was a time when I thought this was a major problem. I don't think like that now. These days I'm helping my older clients (and myself) appreciate the full range of sensuality that is the unique purview of us more seasoned lovers. I've always felt that as gay men we are too genitally focused, especially when it comes at the expense of all the other pleasure zones our bodies have been gifted with.
The rushed, hormonally driven sex of my youth has matured into a slower, more relaxed and sensual sexuality that I am thoroughly enjoying. This has been one of the very best gifts of the aging process. It's even having an effect on my younger partners and they are appreciative.
So I no longer equate performance with a stiff dick. For those times when I absolutely need a rock-hard hardon a cock ring does just fine. I'm aware that I may need more time to achieve this kind of erection, but I'm not just twiddling my thumbs while I'm waiting, if ya know what I mean. I am no longer frustrated by this natural phenomenon, because I no longer have unrealistic expectations.
I realize that many men are using with an erection-enhancing medication such as Viagra, but I suggest that this be reserved for those who are truly experiencing erection dysfunction.
I'm also concerned with the alarming rise of younger men, men in their 20's and 30's who are using Viagra or another similar drugs recreationally. This is very troubling. If your young body is having difficulty producing an erection, then you need medical attention ASAP, or maybe you just need some sleep. However, if you're abusing Viagra just so you can have an erection that lasts for hours that's a real bad idea for several reasons. Not least of which is your body will habituate itself to that stuff and you will find that, in time, you won't be able to get it up at all without ever increasing doses of Viagra.
This is gonna fuck up your cardiovascular system big time. In fact, you may very well be inducing the very sexual dysfunction the drug is supposed to help. Consider the person who overuses eye drops or lip balm or any number of otherwise innocuous health and beauty products. Their body will stop making the natural substances that these over the counter products are intended to assist. It's counterproductive and it's ill advised. If this is a problem with relatively harmless over the counter products, you know you are playing with fire when you're abusing powerful prescription meds.
Whoops, sorry Bob, I went off topic there for a minute. It's just that every opportunity I get to put out a message that will dissuade someone from hurting one's self, I just launch into it.
So back to you. It is clear from what you tell me, your performance problems do, as you suggest, also have a psychological component to it. You have a fear that, despite being responsible in your sex play and even though you play safe, you could accidentally pass on HIV.
It's true; one's brain can indeed override almost every function of our body. For example, we draw each and every breath we take without even thinking about it. However, if a situation dictates our brain can and does override that essential pulmonary function and we can hold our breath. The same is true with our sexual response cycle. Sometimes we can become sexually aroused without really thinking about it. However, if for one reason or another our brain assisted by our conscience interferes with or even shuts down the sexual arousal, that's pretty much, all she wrote.
Your scruples about the possibility that you could accidentally pass along HIV are interfering with your sexual response cycle. No cockring or an erection-enhancing medication is going to change that darlin'!
In other words, the problem is not in your cock, the problem is in your head. This is something you're gonna have to wrestle with and finally resolve. This tension between your head and your dick is actually a good thing. Your body is providing you an opportunity to align your moral values with your sexual performance. How will this resolve itself? I couldn't say. But I know for sure resolution is possible.
I do suggest, however, that you not try to do this in a vacuum. Reach out to a HIV support group or a sex-positive therapist for the help you need in making peace between your head and your cock.
Good luck

MVP and Bulls superstar Derrick Rose wants to add space to his already-luxurious new Trump Tower digs with the purchase of a next-door neighbor's condo, according to the real estate agent who helped Rose find his pad. See photos of a condo with the exact same floor plan here.
Three other owners in the building, which Blackhawks star Patrick Kane also calls home, had the same idea, Phil Skowron said.
"It's become very popular," said Skowron, a real estate agent who specializes in the luxury high-rise market. "It makes for a fantastic floor plan."
Rose will add 1,017 square feet to his current 3,102 square-foot, three-bedroom condo in the Loop on Wabash Avenue. The key selling points for the $2.8 million condo on the 84th floor of the building are the panoramic views and perfect location, Skowron said.
"They're some of the best views in the city," he said. "You can actually look down at the fireworks from Derrick Rose's condo. You crack your window open and you can hear everything from Lollapalooza."
Skowron said negotiations to buy the neighboring condo are under way but "not 100 percent finalized." He said Rose has already started living in the condo, which is on the second-highest floor below the penthouses on the 92-story building.
"He bought the highest floor that was available," Skowron said.
Pictures available show a condo that Skowron said has the exact same floor plan as the one Rose bought, but is a floor or two below.

Online exhibits : Geologic time scale : Paleozoic Era
The Devonian Period
The Rhynie Chert in Scotland is a Devonian age deposit containing fossils of both zosterophylls and trimerophytes, some of the earliest vascular plants. This indicates that prior to the start of the Devonian, the first major radiations of plants had already happened. The oldest known vascular plants in the Northern Hemisphere are from the Devonian Period.
The vegetation of the early Devonian consisted primarily of small plants, the tallest being only a meter tall. By the end of the Devonian, ferns, horsetails and seed plants had also appeared, producing the first trees and the first forests.
During the Devonian, two major animal groups colonized the land. The first tetrapods land-living vertebrates appeared during the Devonian, as did the first terrestrial arthropods, including wingless insects and the earliest arachnids. In the oceans, brachiopods flourished. Crinoids and other echinoderms, tabulate and rugose corals, and ammonites were also common. Many new kinds of fish appeared.
During the Devonian, there were three major continental masses: North America and Europe sat together near the equator, with much of their current area covered by shallow seas. To the north lay a portion of modern Siberia. A composite continent of South America, Africa, Antarctica, India, and Australia dominated the southern hemisphere.
The Devonian seas
The Devonian is also notable for the rapid diversification in fish. Benthic, jawless, armored fish are common by the Lower Devonian. These early fish include a number of different groups. By the the Middle Devonian, placoderms, the first jawed fish, appear. Many of these grew to large sizes and were fearsome predators. Of the greatest interest to us is the rise of the first sarcopterygians, the lobe-finned fish, which eventually produced the first tetrapods just before the end of the Devonian.
The Devonian landscape
By the start of the Devonian, early terrestrial vegetation had begun to spread. These plants did not have roots or leaves like most plants today, and many had no vascular tissue at all. They probably spread vegetatively, rather than by spores or seeds, and did not grow much more than a few centimeters tall. These plants included the now extinct zosterophylls and trimerophytes. The early fauna living among these plants were primarily arthropods: mites, trigonotarbids, wingless insects, and myriapods, though these early faunas are not well known.
By the Late Devonian, lycophytes, sphenophytes, ferns, and progymnosperms had evolved. Most of these plants have true roots and leaves, and many grew quite tall. The progymnosperm Archaeopteris (see photo above) was a large tree with true wood. It was the oldest known tree until the 2007 identification of Wattieza in 2007. By the end of the Devonian, the first seed plants had appeared. This rapid appearance of so many plant groups and growth forms has been called the "Devonian Explosion." Along with this diversification in terrestrial vegetation structure, came a diversification of the arthropods.
Tectonics and paleoclimate
Significant changes in the world's geography took place during the Devonian. During this period, the world's land was collected into two supercontinents, Gondwana and Euramerica. These vast landmasses lay relatively near each other in a single hemisphere, while a vast ocean covered the rest of the globe. These supercontinents were surrounded on all sides by subduction zones. With the development of the subduction zone between Gondwana and Euramerica, a major collision was set in motion that would bring the two together to form the single world-continent Pangea in the Permian.
In addition to global patterns of change, many important regional activities also occurred. The continents of North America and Europe collided, resulting in massive granite intrusions and the raising of the Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America. Vigorous erosion of these newly uplifted mountains yielded great volumes of sediment, which were deposited in vast lowlands and shallow seas nearby.
Extensive reef building, producing some of the world's largest reef complexes, proceeded as stromatoporoids and corals appeared in increasing numbers. These were built in the equatorial seas between the continents. Large shallow seas in North America, central Asia, and Australia became basins in which great quantities of rock salt, gypsum, and other minerals precipitated.
Near the end of the Devonian, a mass extinction event occurred. Glaciation and the lowering of the global sea level may have triggered this crisis, since the evidence suggests warm water marine species were most affected. Meteorite impacts have also been blamed for the mass extinction, or changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is even conceivable that it was the evolution and spread of forests and the first plants with complex root systems that may have altered the global climate. Whatever the cause, it was about this time that the first vertebrates moved onto the land.
Rhynie Chert, Scotland: This has been one of the most important sources of fossils of early land plants and terrestrial arthropods. The anatomy of specimens is preserved in three-dimensional detail.

Mind if I call you Geoff? Good.
As I'm sure you know, January's always a busy time for me. I mean, I'm not a wheeler dealer by any means, and I in no way partake in wheeling or indeed dealing – I can't stand either, to be honest with you. Even so, though, my cheque book does always feel as though it's burning a hole in my pocket as soon as the new year comes around. Funny that.
So, I thought I'd offer you a quick guide to the many merits of west London, given that we might be able to sneak in a new signing down here at QPR. Not that we're looking to. But the squad does need an extra player or two. To be honest, we could use a few bodies – four or five ideally. Well, eight or nine if the chairman can stretch to that. Plus a couple of loans. But we're not really looking, Geoff.
Anyway, you know I don't like talking about other clubs' players – which is why I never do it – but I would still very much like to put it on record that I, Harry Redknapp, want you, Jonas Olsson of West Bromwich Albion, to join us down here at QPR.
It's a top, top place, London. For a start, there's plenty of great old fashioned pubs – although I know you strange foreign lot probably don't drink – and there's always a top, top bargain to be had at Walthamstow Market – never a shortage of fancy imports going at great prices. Plenty of British goods, too. Just last week this lovely Northern Irish chap was down there selling his old mutt – Joe, he called him. Said he inherited him. The dog looked pretty knackered, granted, and didn't seem the brightest, but I liked the look of him. Some big Northern fella beat me to it, unfortunately, but I'll be back next time for sure, Geoff.
There's also a great little road in the centre of town called Fleet Street, which most football folk tend to stay away from, but I can't get enough of it, me. I'll let you in on a little secret: make a few appearances over there – drop in plenty of jovial remarks and a good few friendly winks, and make sure you get the drinks in – and you can get away with a lot more second-rate performances on the weekends than you can at the moment up in the Midlands, Geoff. I know, odd isn't it? But it works, trust me.
I'm heading there now, in fact. Better wind the window down in case there's a TV crew around.
Hope to see you down here soon,

Fishing with windmills
No Fluke
Last week the Commercial Fisheries Center of RI hosted three fishermen from the United Kingdom. Merlin Jackson, John Nichols, and Colin Warwick spoke with several RI fishermen about their experiences fishing with operating wind farms off their coast near Ramsgate, England.
The fishermen spoke about mitigation, safety issues, and best practices for fisheries liaison officers and recommended that Rhode Island's fishermen stay involved in what will be a long process. The meeting was organized by Capt. Rick Bellavance, a wind farm liaison for fishermen, who is a member of the Commercial Fisheries Center and president of the RI Party and Charter Boat Association. Capt. Bellavance said, "These fishermen have actually experienced fishing in the area of wind farms so it was great to hear their point of view. Last year I visited the UK to see how fishermen there were coping with windmills so it was great to have them come to the US so our fishermen could hear about their experiences fist hand."
The funds to bring the fishermen to Rhode Island came from the Ocean Conservancy. The UK fishermen also planned to meet with fishermen and government officials from Baltimore, MD to Portland, Maine.
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Pabst Blue Ribbon announced that their Northeast striped bass, fluke and bluefish Tournament that will take place June 1 to September 14, 2014 with $50,000 in prizes.

Fly tying tips and tricks
Capt. Ray Stachelek will demonstrate fly tying tips and tricks at the February 18, 6:30 p.m., Rhody Fly Rodders meeting at the Riverside Sportsman's Club, East Providence, RI. He will be showing successful flies for both fresh and saltwater. Peter Nilsen, president of the Rhody Fly Rodders, said "Capt. Ray Stachelek has been winding thread for 50 years, is a pro-tyer for Umpqua, and an author of many fly fishing articles. He has been providing fly fishing and light tackle charters in Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Sound for many years."
Nilsen continued, "Capt. Ray's presentation is an excellent informational fly tying program with some great Micro photography, about learning to make the task of fly tying and 'winding thread' easier and simple. The presentation will include tips to improve anyone's bench performance regardless of tying level. He will also discuss and cover the progression of some our tying tools in fly tying history." For information contact Peter Nilsen at pdfish@

ASMFC decision could have negative impact
on summer flounder
In strong opposition delegations from RI, MA, NJ, and VA opposed the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's (ASMFC) Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Management Board move to approve Addendum XXV, establishing regional recreational management for 2014. However, the plan for regionalization was approved.
Last month Rhode Island delegates to the ASMFC heard strong opposition for regionalization from the recreational fishing community. At a public hearing, anglers testified that the plan would allocate more fish to states like New York that have consistently overfished their quota. Anglers fear that with more fish and relaxed summer flounder fishing regulations for New York that they (and other states) would greatly overfish in 2014 causing major problems for summer flounder, a fish stock on the decline.
Robert Ballou, Rhode Island ASMFC delegate and chairman of the RI Marine Fisheries Council said at a Council meeting Monday "The Rhode Island delegation opposed regionalization along with Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts but lost the vote four to seven." Ballou said that DEM staffers were meeting this week and next to align MA and RI regulations and run plans by the ASMFC Technical Committee. The RIMFC summer flounder advisory panel chaired by Rich Hittinger was planning a meeting for next week to address recreational summer flounder issues, specifically the impact of ASMFC regionalization mandates on RI recreational summer flounder regulations. At press time a date and time had not been posited for the advisory panel meeting.
Cod fishing. Capt. Frank Blount of the Frances Fleet reported a good cod bite last week with some anglers limiting out (ten fish/angler/day) and cod to 32 pounds being caught. "The top fish every trip was in the twenty plus pound range. On Saturday about half of the fish on the boat were in the 12 to 18 pound range… Both bait and jigs worked this past week but fresh shucked clams were probably the best on most trips. A handful or two of small keeper Pollock and some red hake mixed in from time to time but generally speaking it has been mostly cod fish. The Frances Fleet will continue to sail daily at 5 am weather permitting, visit www.francesfleet.com . Other party boats sailing for cod include the Seven B's at www.sevenbs.com, and the Island Current at www.islandcurrent.com .
Captain Dave Monti has been fishing and shell fishing on Narragansett Bay for over 40 years. He holds a captain's master license and a charter fishing license. Contact or forward fishing news and photos to Capt. Monti at firstname.lastname@example.com.

TORONTO -- Rubin "Hurricane'' Carter, the boxer whose wrongful murder conviction became an international symbol of racial injustice, died Sunday at 76.
John Artis, a longtime friend and caregiver, told The Canadian Press that Carter died in his sleep Sunday. Carter had been stricken with prostate cancer in Toronto, the New Jersey native's adopted home.
Carter spent 19 years in prison for three murders at a tavern in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966. He was convicted alongside Artis in 1967 and again in a new trial in 1976.
Carter was freed in November 1985 when his convictions were set aside after years of appeals and public advocacy. His ordeal and the alleged racial motivations behind it were publicized in Bob Dylan's 1975 song "Hurricane,'' several books and a 1999 film starring Denzel Washington, who received an Academy Award nomination for playing the boxer turned prisoner.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan's president landed in Qatar Sunday to discuss his country's stalled peace process and the possible opening of a Taliban office in the Gulf state, officials said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Janan Mosazai said President Hamid Karzai will not hold any talks with Taliban representatives now in Qatar.
He will meet with Qatari officials on the sidelines of an annual conference on relations between the United States and the Muslim world.
"As we have already said, any official negotiations regarding peace with the Taliban can take place only between the high-ranking Taliban representatives and the High Peace Council of Afghanistan," Mosazai told reporters.
The indirect contacts come as NATO forces draw down in preparation for handing the lead for security to Afghan forces in the coming weeks ahead of a full pullout by the end of next year. That development has made both military and political developments crucial.
Karzai's office said Sunday evening that he had arrived in Doha along with senior ministers and advisers.
"During this visit, the President will meet with Qatari officials to discuss Afghanistan's peace process and bilateral relations between the two countries," his office said in a statement.
Both Afghanistan and the United States support the opening of a Taliban political office in Qatar as part of an effort to rekindle talks with the insurgent group, which has been waging war against the government and U.S.-led military coalition for nearly 12 years. But first the Taliban must renounce all ties to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups and accept Afghanistan's constitution.
Afghanistan insists all talks must be carried out by the peace council, a group formed by President Hamid Karzai to try and find ways to initiate negotiations with the insurgents.
The council has so far failed to start any form of negotiations with the Taliban since U.S.-initiated peace talks collapsed last year. It is made up of influential Afghans, former Taliban and tribal elders from all Afghan ethnic groups.
Taliban representatives have met officials from more than two dozen countries, participated in international forums in Tokyo and France, and recently visited Iran — a traditional enemy. But they have steadfastly refused to talk to the peace council or Karzai's representatives, saying they represent a "puppet government."
Mosazai reiterated the Afghan government's support for the opening of a Taliban office in Qatar, but "only under the conditions and principles which would be acceptable for the Afghan people."
He would not comment on the recent trip to Iran by Taliban representatives.
"Unfortunately the Taliban have very good relations with foreign countries, but they have enmity with the Afghan people, they are killing Afghan people while they are carrying out terrorist attacks," Mosazai said.
In southern Kandahar, an insurgent roadside bomb killed two police officers and a child in the Arghasan district, said provincial police chief Gen. Abdul Raziq.
Violence in parts of Kandahar has increased in recent weeks as Afghan forces battle the Taliban in their southern heartland.
Provincial spokesman Javed Faisal said eight Taliban were killed, two were wounded and eight others were arrested on Saturday during an operation in the Zhari and Maiwand districts.

I took my daughter in for a shot visit today and tried nursing to calm her down, and she wasn't having it. It broke my heart that I couldn't soothe her. I gave her a pacifier and it calmed her down some, and my husband held her, and she was fine. I'm pretty sure it's because I have an overactive letdown. Literally, she was screaming, and milk was shooting from my breast into her face. That doesn't sound soothing, right? My left breast (the super producer) was slightly engorged this morning, but since we had to wake her up earlier than usual, I figured it was OK because I'd be able to nurse her at the doctor. I guess that was probably my mistake.
Anyway, my daughter often struggles at the breast, and usually I notice it midday around lunch. I work away from home, and my husband bottle feeds pumped milk in the morning and afternoon. She struggles with breastfeeding at lunch, and then it's usually okay when I get home in the evenings (though not always). I let her nurse side-lying from around 3 or 4 AM until I get up for work around 7:45. Usually that's okay, though sometimes she struggles with gas and spitup if I don't sit up and burp her.
So, this morning's feeding at the doctor wasn't typical of her feeding schedule, but it just makes me so sad when she fights it, and I haven't really seen milk squirt into her face since maybe the first month when my breasts were still engorged. I've been confused about the lunchtime feedings lately, almost wondering if I didn't have a letdown because she'll latch on and start pulling and kind of growling and moaning like she's not getting anything. Then she arches her back and fusses like she's in pain. This fussiness at lunch is a little more recent. I think I've gone through that 3 month hormone shift because my breasts are finally a little less swollen, and my left breast which is normally like Old Faithful is a lot less leaky, so I've worried that my supply or let down has been affected. But now I'm wondering if I always have an overactive letdown. I can't feel my letdown, so that makes thinks harder to decipher.
I'm not sure what to do since we've made it to 3 months, and my supply is supposed to have regulated itself. I'm also petrified of doing something to make it go away since my sister had supply issues.
I am feeling like a failure of a mom since I can't soothe my sweet baby at my breast when she needs it.

And here it is: the laptop we all suddenly want to run away and marry. The "next generation" MacBook Pro – as Apple's calling it – was kept safely behind glass as we rushed towards it at the end of Tim Cook and friends' mammoth two-hour WWDC keynote (liveblogged to within an inch of its OS here). But we still managed to get a peek at that 220ppi screen and amazingly thin design.
First up, that Retina Display – if you were in any doubt about still plumping for a MacBook Air – don't be. The 2012 MacBook Pro's screen really is something else – it looked utterly beautiful during our brief encounter and we can't wait to edit 1080p video in a Final Cut Pro window and view high resolution images on the 2880x1800 display.
Then there's the MacBook Pro's new glorious form itself – it's not quite as thin as the MacBook Air and it has sacrificed its optical drive. But at 0.71in thin and weighing in at just 4.5llbs (making it the lightest ever MacBook Pro too) we're not complaining and tell us, when was the last time you stuck a DVD in your laptop?
Compare it to the current 0.95in thick MacBook Pro and it is a radical change we'll welcome with open arms (and open wallets). Apple reckons no-one else can come close to copying the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Ultrabooks assemble!
With just as much beauty on the inside as out – thanks to sexy Core i5 and i7 quad-core processors and up to 16GB of RAM – this is no shiny accessory. It took a bare glimpse of the Retina Display MacBook Pro for us to want one and we can't wait to have a longer play when the Apple gives us the nod. Keep an eye out for our first hands-on experience with the world's latest most-wanted laptop in the next couple of days.

the Vita has sold about 1 million units in the US since its launch a bit more than 1 year ago. The original PSP had sold 1.12 million units in the US in the month of December 2005 alone.
Wii U's sales are also disappointing
Could a price drop, combined with PS4 functionality and the drastic reduction in memory card cost help turn things around? I hope so. So far, i'm happy with my Vita, as PS Plus has been good to Vita owners.
Its such a shame because its an amazing handheld , the best ever imo it has custom music every game, party chat , trophies and decent browser and big clear screen, it just has so much potential for good long single player games and rpgs ect
Potential = insanely high
Implementation = sub par
Hopefully KZM turns quite a few heads. Then there's still E3 around the corner (I'm kinda getting tired of saying E3.. E3..).
It doesn't support custom soundtracks in every game unfortunately...
Dead or Alive 5 Plus, WRC3 and Persona 4 don't support custom soundtracks...
@ tubers
I have to disagree there - Uncharted and Gravity Rush were two of my favourite games last year, and they were up against a bunch of PC and PS3 releases. The Vita is, imo, the best handheld gaming device yet made, with a great range of games (it's limited compared with the PSP, PS3 or 360 of course, but that's what you get).
The big issue is that developer support dropped off heavily after launch, but Sony have been drumming up indie and other dev support to turn this around, and we're starting to see the fruits of this. Given the thing's barely a year old outside of Japan, it's doing very well as an entertainment unit - it's just consumers aren't biting. No idea why, everyone I know who's actually handled one, loves it - indeed, I'd wager a lot of the sales at the moment are positive word-of-mouth over the top of rubbish reporting on the internet.
Soul Sacrifice demo makes me buying a Vita day 1 worth it. Cant wait for the actual game release.
Sucks that some video files cannot be played on the Vita anymore after some updates. My xvid collection got screwed.
'Sucks that some video files cannot be played on the Vita anymore after some updates. My xvid collection got screwed,
Wtf? o_O;
that sucks
... it's got dual analogue sticks, OLED screen, pretty powerful specs, etc etc.
It's even got a bunch of very good games which should be worth playing.
The problem ofcourse is the stuff it does WRONG, like the memory-cards issue, where you're forced to buy/use expensive memory-cards which can only be used for the PS Vita.
Implementing touch-controls where they aren't needed or wanted.
Ports of console-games COULD be great, but they do need to be WORTHY ports. I would have LOVED to have played a great looking new version of Ninja Gaiden Black, but the PS Vita port was pretty mediocre, possibly the worst version of Ninja Gaiden 1 to date, and it was missing the option for the original voices, which automatically means it's a big no-no for me. No buy!
Same goes for other great games that get released with a dub-only. One of the reasons people like/love Sony, is because they stil bring out typical Japanese games. Persona 4 and Disgaea are good examples. But while Disgaea does offer the option for the original voices, Persona 4 sadly doesn't.
I might have already bought a PS Vita if they had gotten Persona 4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Vita right by including the option for the original voices, but sadly they didn't bother...
... so why should I...!?
Also, one of the major reasons why the PSP sold very well, is that people could 'mod' it. That just skyrocketed the hardware-sales, cause suddenly a much larger crowd was interested.
Regardless of the question if that was good or bad for 'the industry' or the PSP, the fact is that it DID help sell a whole lot more PSP's than they otherwise would have sold!
I wish there was a game like Demon's Souls on the Vita.
Wow, I never knew Vita is such a fail. /s
I mean, look at those graphics, dual analog, great screen ect.
Look at all those games; Uncharted, KillZone, LBP,it's hard core pure, why people don't buy it?
Must be because of smartphones and tables. /s
Deamon Soul's can't save the Vita, there's no game that could save the Vita, not even Jesus himself could save it.
The real problem is Sony trying to sell it as a "portable PS3", and then trying to get a version of every popular and selling into it.
They need to get the poor console over the shadow of the PS3, give it REALLY exclusive games, using all the unique potential of the Vita.
To make it short, it needs more games like Gravity Rush and Little Deviants.
Unfortunately, it doesn't support custom soundtracks in every game. I agree with almost everything else you said though.
i want to play every PS3 game on vita. it's like that great.
It's good tech for sure, but the game line-up is sub-par.
I think the biggest problem is that most people own a PS3 already and Sony has kind of advertised the Vita as a portable console that can closely emulate a console experience. But like I said, most people have the PS3 for that.
I wonder why this handheld is struggling at sales? Is it a price matter, no enough games, faulty mkt campaign... I just don't see any compelling argument.
I dont think you get the concept of sarcasm.I take that back, its obvious you dont
Theres a number of reasons PSP sale/ sold better than PS Vita. For 1 price & the economy, and 2nd the date of release.Back in 05 the buzz around next gen (current gen ) anything was much greater than it is now (graphical and technical leaps from last gen to current is larger than the leap from now to next gen). So if the technical leaps from ps3 to psv was as great as it was from ps2 to psp, then chances are it wouldve sold "better".
nnyeahh i dont know . .the prob is the joysticks of malplacement and design of the vita
That problem is with the 3DS and not the Vita. Theres nothing wrong with the Vitas controls but on the other hand the 3DSs lack of a second circle pad hurts it.
And even Nintendo admits this fault by creating the CPP (circle pad pro) accessory for it.
Master...first off the Circle Pad Pro came out before the Vita even launched, so even though it was an add on, technically the 3DS was the first portable to have dual joystick set up with that addition.
Next,I honestly don't see it being major problem for the 3DS considering hardly any games even utilize the second stick option, yet the system sells like crack, and the 3rd party support is all over the place.So obviously the lack of a built in second joystick means nothing to the consumers as well as the developers.
So while I'm sure it would have been nice to have it built into the system, it didn't cause a lack of games to be developed. And lets be honest,we all know the next portable after 3DS that Nintendo makes in a few years will have it.
And when that happens you know damn well Nintendo will market that little addition and everyone will go out and buy the new portable.What can Sony do on their next portable besides improve graphics again....exactly!
yet the justin bieber sells "music" like crack, but is it good?
sales dont represent quality.
if something is popular, it doesnt mean its automatically good.
btw, the CPP is a nice way to say "we fucked up with the original design of the 3ds, here's something half-assed to ghetto fix our mistake"
The DS outsells the Vita because of it's legacy. It's a machine that has mass appeal. When the DS first launched and had games like Brain Training and Sudoku non-gamer adults started buying tons of them to use on mass transit. Now brand recognition still gets some of those sales and mainstream is a huge market. Gamers may hate to hear it but going mainstream equals survival as prices increase. As we move past PS3 power in a handheld we move toward multi-million dollar budgets. You need all of the sales you can get then.
@ Peasfor so you said "yet the justin bieber sells "music" like crack, but is it good? sales dont represent quality. if something is popular, it doesnt mean its automatically good."
Well first off to all those millions of girls who buy JB cd's yea the music is good, that's a matter of opinion and taste. Maybe to someone like you or me its not good.....but that's out personal opinion and that is not a fact!
Next with the sales argument...when something sells alot, that pretty much means its a good product so I don't know how anyone can dispute a sales correlation with a good product. Again your using your opinion in saying people buy "bad" products because everyone else is. Over time people ran out and bought things because they were products that they enjoyed, therefor they were good (Cabbage Patch Dolls, Tickle Me Elmo,Tamogotchi, Gameboy, PS2, Wii, Iphones etc) all sold well because they were good products that people wanted and they provided enjoyment and fulfilled a need.
As for the additional Circle Pad Pro being a scapegoat for a mistake....if that was the case wouldn't Nintendo be supporting it with all their future software? Wouldn't they be selling it in all retail stores(Only Gamestop and NOA website sell it) and wouldn't the 3DSXL have had it built in to rectify this mistake? And why wouldn't they just include it in the box to "fix" this mistake with all future 3DS sales?
Come on, if your going to be a blind to the obvious, then there is no point in even trying to justify how the 3DS messed up but the Vita has not. At the end of the day, like it or not, its all about sales as that's what these companies are looking for. They make these products to make a profit. Nintendo is dominating and Sony isn't and that's a fact!
And btw, how's that dual analog setup working out for the Vita? Oh that's right, there needs to be software that actually gets put on the system and uses it.....sorry the software is in another castle!
CaptainN ... you come across as the biggest Ninbot ever.
The DS/3DS sells bc KIDS play it. Kids don't care about the 2nd analog stick. They don't care about any of the crap that gamers care about ... bc they're KIDS.
I would never game on a 3ds personally or a Wii or any of it. Its not for me. BUT guess what my go to console/handheld is when it comes to buying for my children ... you guessed it ... bc its for KIDS & the games are kid friendly.
Nintendo is synonymous with Family Friendly ... THATS why it sells.
So get off your high horse & pull your head out of your @$$. All of your rebuttals were some of the dumbest reasons I've ever read.
Stop hyping the 3ds like its some technological marvel ... bc its not.
All it is, is a quality handheld that has an automatic user base ... KIDS.
There's plenty of em around ... and new customers are born every minute around the world. Children are built in income when it comes to toys which is all it is.
I personally dont see how remote play makes me ppl want to buy a vita.
The platform is another dead in the water, similar to PSP Go. I remember the hailing of the second coming of Christ named PS Vita at E3, then subsequently in the news at the great price point.
The supposed 3DS "was" going to get destroyed by the almighty Sony. Turns out, it couldn't have been further from the truth as Sony consistently has poor management.
Reality beats fanboy imagination again!
That is why I wonder about the PS4? Similar situation at least right now....
Sounds great, but execution beats imagination.
yeah the things like cross buy and remote play aren't a system seller for me exclusives are and right now there really isn't any vita exclusives i am interested in
@ nuke,
the only thing that saved the 3ds was the price cut! Nintendo knew the couldn't compete with the Vita spec wise so, the droped the price. that got everybody thinking that, Sony should have droped the price of theVita too! and when they didn't, the first thing peple started saying was, it was too expensive.
now don't get me wrong, i still think the memory cards are out dof wack when it comes to price but, until some of brwnd can make them for cheap, this is what we got.
Pretty ignorant comment to think JUST a price drop has saved the 3DS. He'll the price drop for the Vita in Japan only helped for so long. Now it is back to selling at pre price cut levels.
let's be real @Mustang300C2012 , 3DS was dead and it was revived with the price cut. The system went from $250 to $160 in less than a year!
The problem with vita is price, regardless of what you think and feel about the vita it's a powerful machine and worth the cost. But one major flaw, a handheld should not cost more or the same as a ps3 console. You have both costing $199 which would people pick? Of course the ps3, it's worth the money, large game library, bluray, etc...
A few other problem is Sony releasing major vita games on the same time frame as other blockbuster console games. Most of these awesome games had no chance against console releases. Sony need to strategize the vita game releases so that it has a chance.
Memory card is a major problem, cost is killing it.
Other then these major issue I think the vita can do very well if the problems are fixed. I have not heard a vita owner complained about the quality if the vita.
Yeah its nonsense.
Here is the comparison.
WiiU Delux edition - Off screen play with packed in game is 370.00. Where it currently stands on Amazon right now.
OK so to match that with Sony products you need this.
Playstation Vita - 250.00
Vita Memory card - 100.00
Playstation 4 - Expected to be 350.00 to 400.00
Average Vita game is 40.00
Average PS games is 60.00
It's simple math.
I'm waiting for Killzone: Mercenaries like alot of people, but I'm also interested to see if they provide an upgraded model with HDMI out. Lowering the price of the memory would help too.
I love KZ but there is not a big market for the PSP..
Sony should quite and stick to consoles and cellphones ..
maybe make a special version of their phone mix with PSP alike capabilities once in a while to be used as a extra controller anywhere at any time.
today handle market are for kids and some teenagers plus Japon..
It need to be cheap in price ($199 max) games need to cost no more than $30 for new games at max and they need to make games for kids, teens and jrpg ...
Nintendo understand this and is doing well.
It probably will, we've seen how a simple price drop changed things in Japan. Sony are already heading in the right direction with PS+ for the Vita and with the PS4 launch I'd be surprised if sales don't pick up. Naturally some more exclusives should help a great deal too.
people need to get this notion that PS4 connectivity will somehow lead to more Vita sales
people who want a PS4 will go to the shop and buy a PS4 and that's it. it will most like cost around €400-€450 and then to add another €250 to that is just not feesible for most people, even if it's a year or two down the line.
a price drop and more games will definitely help but PS4 connectivity is not the answer.
Platforms these days are simply too big to fail. Sony cannot afford for the Vita to NOT sell decently. You think it's in Sony's best interest to let the Vita die?
Of the games that are already announced, I know I'm getting Soul Sacrifice, Muramasa Reboot, Tearaway, Killzone, Dragon's Crown, and Toukiden (if it comes West). And this is BEFORE E3, which will surely bring more games to the table.
Vita is undeniably a good piece of hardware, but it left a sour taste in my mouth. I BOUGHT it because cross play was advertised as a feature, and WORKS FINE when the PS3 had CFW. The capability is THERE, but NOOOOOO, Sony goes and does what they do 2nd best, and removes features right at or around launch. %@#[email protected]#%!!
A better camera and a meatier battery wouldn't have hurt either. If Sony made a Vita MKII with fixes like that and 4G and stuff, THEN it'll take off. (with some new US marketing)
Your complaint about cross-play is legit. It's actually why I'm hesitant to jump on the PS4's cross-play hype. Cross-play was originally advertised for the PSP, if you can believe it! And then it was promised again for Vita, and now Sony promises to "finally get it right" for PS4? I'll believe it when I see it.
Plain and simple, Sony f***ed up.
They aimed too high with power (making it too expensive), they didn't do any sort of monitoring/monetary encouraging of its initial software allowing garbage like COD: Declassified (which otherwise would have been a major seller), they didn't make it incredibly portable, their marketing of it has been very weak, etc, etc, etc.
Vita could have been popular, but they handled it completely wrong. I can't believe the way that the 8th generation is stumbling in like a drunk with only 3DS selling (and only because of a MASSIVE price drop). How did Sony and Nintendo manage to forget/ignore basic principles of making successful game hardware?
Memory cost isn't the problem. Cost-of-entry is much more important. A simple price drop will do great things for the system but it needs to be paired with high-profile game releases. Preferable one with a hardware bundle.
I read some comments on here and funny how no one has mentioned the real reason why the PSP 1 sold so great...homebrew PSP and free games is the number one reason why alot of people bought the PSP 1.
Until someone jailbreaks the VITA sales will not take off like the did with the PSP.
I would buy a vita, but to be honest, I'm still not done with my PSP games, or even my 3DS titles; so, I mean, it feels as if Sony launched it on the wrong time in all honesty, rather than anything else.
The real problem is there is not a continuous flow of good games. There are a few good ones but most tend to be re-releases or too similar to console titles. The problem is that there are not really any AAA "only on the Vita" games worth while. People not really going to spend $250 to solely play games that are nearly identical to their console counterparts.
Gamers keep complaining of a lack of creativeness this gen has brought around and constant pushing of sequel after sequel (COD anyone?) and not coming out with anything new.
I am not trying to say don't release COD, Uncharted, Killzone, etc. on the Vita. What I am trying to say is I see these games and I find myself feeling like "ehh I already played it, pass" (called game fatigue). Does anyone remember when the 1st Mass Effect came out? Crysis 1, Halo 1, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Golden sun 1? All these games had one thing in common. They all brought new experiences that made people buy the new console/PC/handheld just for that new experience.
Sony come out with new creative games and keep them flowing = success.
not gonna help.
PS3 was bundled with Vita nd all that other stuff still didn't help.
Cross-Buy is not helping either.
Just thought i put this out there.Best buy has the 16gb memory card for $30.so if u need space now is the time to buy.
Whoa thanks for the tip, been wanting a larger memory card than 4gb.
EDIT:ugh no shipping and no stores around me that i can pick it up, another useless bb deal for me X_X
Target price matches. You need to learn to be more Savy.. and if you don't have a Target then think of something else that might do the same like possibly Walmart.
Doesn't Target only price match if the competitor has it in stock?
Dam, and people say this handheld isn't dead on arrival. you know I do like the vita, and really think it's a shame it's not being appreciated for what it is. However, this just goes to show you Sony fan boys that power doesn't equal success.
I know a lot of you automatically think Sony wins next gen because rumors says PS4 is stronger then 720. well, history says hello.
do you even know what youre talking about?
yeah history says hello!
do you even remember about the ps3? about its early years
im sure you knew, its now ahead of your favourite 360
no games? it has now tons of it and will be continue to supported even the ps4 is out
and the psp, a system they said that is already dead since 2009 but look at it, it keeps on selling and still has games coming for it,
(brs this month)
and now vita.... you guys have never learned, patience is virtue
we all know sony systems since the ps3, always had a slow start but will continue to keep on going for a long time,
the ps2 just only retired recently, that is an example of long term profitabilty which other companies do not have
can you explain what happened to xbox when the 360 came out
or the ds when 3ds came out? and the wii when the wii u came out?
The fact that I would have to explain my comment to you shows you don't know your gaming history.
How many time in gaming history has the most powerful console won it's generation? and that was the point of my statement.
"do you even remember about the ps3? about its early years im sure you knew, its now ahead of your favourite 360". I will believe that when I hear it from Sony them selves. Give me proof where they said it and I will shut up about it, Until then it's just wishful thinking on from you Sony fans.
Well said!
You're an idiot, learn your history, we're not going to do the work for you.
i would say do not even bother talking some common sense into people. The memory card's in the first place would not be that high or made unique to Sony's system with no easy card reader if what happened to the 1st PSP with software sales and than software support drying up. Because of Hacking and UMD dumps!
funny how this STORY was posted from a HACKER'S WEB SITE!
but..but Nintendo's , yes Nintendo's Handhelds get pirated software quite a bit more than Sony's but here is the thing.
Sony's software is not seen as more viable in the handheld market as Nintendo's. and software sales are what matter's. to 3rd party developer's when the 3rd party developer's software get's umd dumped , when its more pirate copy's in people's hand's than there is really sold copy's asking for yet another project to be made and asking venture capitalist to pony up yet more money for your software to be sold but get pirated quick. what do you think the answer will be?
yet here we are low sales but still the PSVita is going to keep getting software support, its not about how many they can sale vs what Nintendo is doing right now, because really Sony is the only real dedicated Game console portable to even give Nintendo a run for this market. Hey how many do people think will the WikiPad sell. or how about the Nvidia shield?
Tell you what, do you really think Sony is that choked up about a market for mobile gameing when they sale over 10 million xperia smartphone's a sales quarter, with playstation Mobile?
the PSVita is a choice for gamer;'s to have than just Nintendo alone in the dedicated mobile game handheld space, where's Microsoft's dedicated portable?
Yeah I remember what happened to the DS when the 3DS came out. It was getting way more support than the 3DS. It had a Pokemon game released for it!
You got everything right until you said that buddy. :P
no, my point is like you said in the 1st place, or a lot of people says that vita is dead on arrival? seriously?!
and you know that sony systems have a longer lifespan than any other system they still support their older system even when the successor is out,
still your not answering my question and keep avoiding it, what happened to the xbox when the 360 came out? same goes for the ds and wii when their successors came out?
i think you know the answer......
and about the ps3 surpassing the 360, do you really visits various gaming sites, you should already know the answer to that question.
and when the next xbox came, i wonder what will happen to the 360
hope they still support it, no?
@good_guy_ jamal below...
not only your brain is like a coconut... you even rarely use it
did you even get what i have said, not even in the slightest?
smartphones will never outperform dedicated gaming handhelds
smartphones are for casuals, if you are gamer and looking for quality games and you chose smartphone over 3ds/vita then you are nuts
but still like many other says smartphones is really competing against handhelds in mobile gaming, 2006 is different than 2013 in terms of mobile gaminv even the 1st iphone is not that competent at that time
i think you know how many psp and ds have been sold until now right
even the 3ds is struggling in its 1st year and only until now before it finally recovered the vita and the wii u is also in that stage, add the bias media and you will get a doom and gloom articles
like many of us said, just give these systems their time
sorry for being rude jamal, i just have... ^_^
history says ps3 sold more than 360 bud.
And the Wii sold more than the PS3 and 360, but the Wii is FAR from powerful. Quite weak and pathetic if you ask me, but it sold like hotcakes.
It does seem the most powerful console doesn't always win. Granted, when this video was posted here on N4G, people said it was wrong because of Sony.
4G vita lannounced at e3
Watch lol
"Vita has sold about 33'000 units last month in the US, as reported by ArsTechnica. By comparison, the 3DS reportedly sold about 7 times this amount." O__o !! I have no words. Vita getting a beating by the 3DS.
It's said the Wii U is selling similarly to the 360 and PS3 during their respective release months so I don't see why people are dogging it.
What has changed? Why is the Vita doing so horribly compared to the PSP?
you know jamal your head is like a coconut....
when you open it... its empty just only its juices leaking out....
when the psp and ds came out, they are the only handhelds competing at each other. they are advance at that time
no iphones no tablets no smartphones or any other sleek mobile gadgets you see today
at that time, when people saw the psp for the 1st time, they are wowed by it, you can even research from various sites if you want to... about their impressions in the psp at that time
the ps vita is in a different situation today, not only it has a lot of competitions (3ds, tablets, smartphones etc.) but it also had its own issues like the price of the memory cards and some people waiting for price drop just to grab a vita....
but i do think this issues will be solve this year, sony knows what to do in regards to ps vita, all we can do is wait and be patient ^_^
Firstly, why would I want to split open my head? Secondly, the brain is 70% water so yeah okay.
Lastly, only liquids leak out of something so I'd imagine that only the juices would leak out.
Lastly, weren't people laughing when analysts suggested smartphones would pose a threat to handheld consoles? Also, didn't the iPhone launch during the PSP's era? 3DS has sold over 20 million units in this same harsh environment.
Well, the 3DS is doing just fine despite the competition from non-gaming companies, it was even going better than the DS at one point!
"you know jamal your head is like a coconut....
when you open it... its empty just only its juices leaking out.... "
Dude, the iPhone came out only 2 years after psp. The 3ds manages to have sold 20 million in counting in spite of the tablets and smartphones of today. The market is not the only factor here. Vita is too expensive, memory is too expensive, few games, and barely small enough to even be classified as a handheld.

I would just say to a person who is being overbearing about their religion toward you, "You are as equal in your right to practice your religion as **insert belief system** has to practice or not practice their own."
The separation of Church and state is supposed to prevent a religious group from oppressing another religious group. Religious icons are not supposed to be present on public property since it would be considered promoting one religion over another.
When Grand Theft Auto V comes out I am running over a hooker. ಠ_ಠ
I was at the train station in town, waiting on a bus to go to seattle. It was sunday morning, and a gentleman walked up from his car, asked if I had a minute to talk about jesus.
I said I'd rather not, but thank you. He walked back to his car and continued on to church.
Actually, the most awkward conversation I had was with a Mormon. My church was started by a group of mormons who didn't like where the church went after the founder was lynched. They stayed behind while the rest went to salt lake city. Mormons are very sheltered people, and it's hard to talk about the history of the mormon church, and the fact that they sort of excommunicated half of the senior priesthood that disagreed with them before deciding on literally having polygamy and baptism after death and the such.
but yeah, Mormons don't generally know much about the history of their own church.
I have no problem with people having something they believe in be it religion or anything else...but what i do hate is when they try to cram it down your throat or ambushing you.
One time i had just finished working the whole weekend and the next day (Monday) at around 8.30am i open the door to someone advertising Christianity to me. I was half asleep when it happened and didn't appreciate it in the slightest. Somehow kept my cool and said "No thank you i am not interested" and awkwardly closed the door on them.
It brings to mind the immigration issues in the UK over the last 20 years or so. Don't take this the wrong way because I have no problem with people coming over to live in the UK (so long as they do it legally), but what i do have a problem with is when they try to change it to suit their religious beliefs etc.
For example, a couple years back when some Islamic (or muslims, i am not sure which is preferred) people were complaining that the word "CHRISTMAS" was offensive to them because it had the word "CHRIST" in it and demanded we no longer call it by that name.
To that i say, F**K off, I'll call it by whatever i want!
Need more money for anime and such! :'(
Yes, I was at work and called back to a number that called earlier. Long story short, this PH.D in religion of Christianity (or so he claimed) called me alot of rude things and said I'll go to hell.
He was SO rude. I was bound by company policies to reply to him any way which so ever that'll even provoke him, which shows you how rude he was to even start calling me that in the first place.
Oh yea, he said I was a liar because he didn't call or something. Whatever. No one gives a shit about your PH.D's and Doctorates if your behaviors as good as a baboon.
Best part about this rant was, like I said before, I had to listen to him -.-
Here's a secret. Keep a photo in your album.

While we were stationed in the islands my very Caucasian, Catholic, ass was quite well kicked for somehow being responsible for the pillaging of their faith several hundred years earlier. Never mind that I don't attend church, or share any groups tenets.
please read right after your first paragraph.
No I have not
My idiot of a sister decided to turn away from Buddha and be a Christian ..
She's all jesus christ now and she talks to me about it and I'm like dude stop. I get pissed off at her.
I'm like "ok when mum and dad pass away ur not gunna enter the temple"?
cuz after she decided to switch her damn shit she says to my mum " I can't have 2 religion so I can't step foot in a temple"
Wut the fuck is wrong with her. -__-
Just to piss her off we had a lil debate about it. She talked about Jesus Christ and I threw Satan in there hahaha.
Fucking idiot.
Yeaa I just shitted on em /// come and go.
I often get into religious rant by personal choice...
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!
I normally avoid religion and religious types, but if I see someone spouting beliefs and stuff I usually will start debating them until they either walk away, or start screaming at me because they are losing the argument.
Religion is stupid.
#1 CR Jimmy Rustler.
I will get into religious conversations with different people just because I am an Atheist I don't knock religion one way or another Just because I don't believe everyone else should follow suit. I look at God as a grown ups version of an imaginary friend. Most talk out loud to him or her , ask him or her for things, play with the notion that he or she is watching them , just like a child's imaginary friend would. Whatever floats your boat then go with it.
Electric Slidin' since 92'
My parents are frequently trying to convert me back.
So yeah.
._. I usually don't try to get sucked into the ignorance of religion, I only debate it when it encroaches on my scientific knowledge. For example someone got into it with me because they told me dinosaurs didn't exist, what the hell. ._. We have freaking fossils, they said they didn't exist because the Earth was only 6000 years old, which is also wrong because we have cultures that are much older than that. Ignorant Christianity only thinking their bs written in a book, that isn't even accurate and contains many conflicting ideals, is correct.
Long hair, don't care
Happened to me too, I used to be catholic. Now I'm a realist, I only believe in what I see. So I guess you could say in also kind of an athiest. Anyhow my damn uncle (not by blood) comes over trying to spread his "doctrine", and I told him that's not the word of god! Some dude wrote that crap. I tried explaining to him how everything came from people trying to survive in ancient times growing crops and mapping the stars and movement of the sun so they can know when to plant seeds for the harvest. This asshe doesn't even listen to me and says its astrology, and I told him no, it's science! It's astronomy, you're confusing the two. He doesn't let me explain to him well so I called him an ignorant and said only stupid people are religious! He says yes, I am ignorant; and I told him that I could see it already! I also told him that religion is just the current fad like fashion and that in the next few hundred years everyone would just be worshiping something else so they can "fit in" with the current society. Anyways no one in my family really likes the guy and even wanted to kick his ass! I guess it's my turn to get added on to the list cuz one of these days I'm gonna have to beat his ass for reals!
Religious people piss me off! Especially how thy think thy are absolutely right and everything that contradicts them is the work of the devil. I always say we ourselves are the devils, man is his own enemy and the only thing religion has brought is separation of people and wars! I believe one day the smart scientific people will go to the stars, the true heaven, to find another earth. While all the religious fucks can burn in the war infested hell of their own creation here on earth...

I don't think it is lawful without a permit but I do think they have permits. They plastered the place in graphic posters that violated litter laws on numerous occasions but I'm not sure what came of that, I think they did end up being fined on one occasion round Christmas. Once the time limit is up you can tear down their posters. Their stands must be legal as I've never seen the gardai move them on.
They have also have public watchdogs investigating their dodgy funding (most of it comes from American donors, not Irish despite the whole 'Ireland's biggest pro life group' spiel ) but because they are classed as a charity, there isn't a lot that can be done.
It's a seriously bonkers group, even most pro lifers hate them.

Jones was selected by Roy Hodgson to be a member of the squad which took part in last summer's Euro 2012, and could be in action again this summer if selected for the Under-21 European Championships this year.
The 71-year-old United manager is surprised Jones will take part in Tuesday's game against Walsall for Stuart Pearce.
"I haven't paid much attention to it but I'm surprised he's in the Under-21s and not the full squad," Sir Alex told The Guardian.
"It's happened quite a few times to players [to drop down into the Under-21s] and it's understandable. But for the players that's more difficult to manage because once a player gets into a full squad he thinks he's achieved what he wants to achieve and taking the step back can be hard to manage. But he's 20 and maybe he's as good as the Under-21 squad are going to get."The prospect of Jones playing another summer tournament is not one that pleases Sir Alex either, especially given the player's problems with a knee injury this season.
"We'll have to wait and see how things are," he added. "The boy's had an injury this season, which has needed looking after. We'll see what it's like in the summer."

For fans in Raleigh, don't miss this opportunity to see the Piano Man live. If you can't buy seats at the frantic box office initial sale, don't worry, a large inventory of tickets for all concerts remain available at the BillyJoelTour2014.com.
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) December 14, 2013
Tickets go on sale today for the public to buy seats at the Billy Joel tour date in Raleigh. Yesterday Joel released tickets for Pittsburgh, Auburn Hills near Detroit and Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl for two shows. All but the second LA show sold out in minutes. These performances come on the heels of even more tickets releasing for Billy Joel New York City tour dates. Now totaling eight, Billy Joel Madison Square Garden concerts continue to sell out except a few seats behind the stage. The latest MSG show August 7, 2014 goes on sale next Friday. Fortunately, fans can find a large inventory of tickets for all Billy Joel concerts even after they are sold out at the box office from the BillyJoelTour2014.com site in association with Tickets-Cheapest.com online. Available seats include a wide selection of premium seats and floor tickets.
As for the songs one may hear at these 2014 Billy Joel concerts, some may not be quite as familiar to those looking to buy Billy Joel tickets, but few may classify as brand new creations. Billy Joel spoke about playing some songs he rarely if ever performed in concerts before. Of course, fans should hear Piano Man and many Billy Joel favorites too. Based on the surprise concert on Long Island and recent Billy Joel concerts in England we prepared a probable Billy Joel 2014 concert set list indicating songs fans will likely hear as well more to vary by show.
In addition to the Billy Joel Raleigh concert music fans can enjoy an Eagles tour date in PNC Arena, a Miley Cyrus concert and Cher live on stage. The PNC Center also plays host to the Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL and many North Carolina State Wolfpack college basketball games as well as some March Madness contests.
For fans in the area, don't miss this opportunity to see the Piano Man live. If you can't buy seats at the frantic box office initial sale, don't worry, a large inventory of tickets for all concerts remain available at the BillyJoelTour2014.com and Tickets-Cheapest.com sites even after they are sold out from the venue and for less than other resale outlets including premium seats and floor tickets.

WEST POINT — Sophomore quarterback Angel Santiago led Army's top offense out against the first-team defense in practice Monday.
WEST POINT — Sophomore quarterback Angel Santiago led Army's top offense out against the first-team defense in practice Monday.
Junior Cody Jackson then jumped in for Santiago.
Freshman Kelvin White started the Black Knights' scrimmage at quarterback Saturday before leaving with an injury.
Freshman A.J. Schurr, maybe the team's top quarterback candidate based on his body of work last season, worked with the first team last week.
Coach Rich Ellerson is set on keeping the race to replace four-year starter Trent Steelman competitive throughout the spring.
Among the group, only Santiago has started a game — Nov. 2011 against Rutgers.
"I think they all can play," Ellerson said. "They've all done some really encouraging things. ... They can all make plays with their feet and they can all make plays with their arms. We have to see who can get the team up and down the field and who can do the best job of taking care of the football. That will be the discriminating factor. The depth chart is fluid."
As it is at every position in spring practice. The coach doesn't want players becoming complacent.
"Based on Saturday's scrimmage, we change the depth chart," Ellerson said. "Based on what you just did in the last half hour of practice, we are going to change the depth chart. We are going to make things very elastic. The idea being, if you have a good day something is going to change and if you have a bad day something is going to change."
Army has added more contact drills into practice this spring, and there seems to be more hitting or maybe harder hitting than in the past. Safety Geoff Bacon popped running back Trenton Turrentine for a 2-yard loss during a first-team scrimmage.
Sophomore fullback Larry Dixon is enjoying more physical practices.
"It just kind of comes with the position," said Dixon, who rushed for 839 yards and six touchdowns in 2012. "It's something you get used to and you kind of just crave it. I love contact. I just dig it."
Sophomore center Ryan Powis, a two-year starter, didn't practice due to a knee injury. Sophomore Todd McDonald replaced Powis.

Armory Presents: Emerging Artists, Newly Established Galleries
Artsy Editorial
Working in a tradition of conceptual, rule-based art, Ignacio Uriarte limits his materials to those readily available in a common office setting: Post-it notes, typewriters, A4 paper, and ballpoint pens, among other items. Based in Berlin, Uriarte works from varied artistic traditions that include the Fluxus and Oulipo movements and the work of Sol LeWitt. Inspired by his experience working full-time as a business administrator, Uriarte creates work whose repetitive gestures extrapolate the banal rhythms of office life into imaginative abstractions. For example, he may retrace a particular form in different colors of a ballpoint pen or arrange sheets of A4 paper printed with binary code into a grid. He has stated that his interest in office life is rooted in his desire "to stay in my own personal 'petit-bourgeois' reality in order to deal with it from the inside."

2. FLOSS YOUR TEETH clean between your teeth daily with dental floss or interdental cleaners, such as the Oral-B Interdental Brush, Reach Stim-U-Dent, or Sulcabrush.
3. HEALTHY EATING eat nutritious and balanced meals and limit snacks. Avoid carbohydrates such as candy, pretzels and chips, which can remain on the tooth surface. If sticky foods are eaten, brush your teeth soon afterwards.
