Any girl aims to be charming and beautiful, and for this purpose emphasizes the advantages and hides shortcomings. But when the beach season approaches, to hide the excess weight and fat on body it is very difficult to become. Looking at the bright show-windows of shops dazzling with open and effective bathing suits, girls are upset, understanding that it not on their figure. And not desire something with it to do fat by fault on stomach to all.
Today more than it is enough methods for fight against fat in zone of stomach and sides. Idlers can use miracles of modern surgery, and more exacting to themselves and purposeful ladies can choose for themselves suitable diet and necessary set of exercises. The main thing is desire to become harmonous and tightened, and, of course, self-confidence.

The annoying that fat collects on stomach and hips because this most convenient and favorable place for its storage. Well, it is comfortable to it there. Ridiculously, it is not ridiculous – but, the truth. Some not especially worry about the sticking-out stomach, and in vain, fat which hides there, is not so simple. The matter is that fatty masses is postponed not only between integument and muscles, but also on internals. It already causes alarm.
Visceral fat – quite so is called what envelops interiors, is dangerous and comes to organism both with greasy food, and with alcohol.

It is possible to find in its arsenal not only pheromone perfume and megaextending the flourish for eyelashes, but also the mass of jars and tubes with creams. They are intended both for moistening of skin, and for fight against wrinkles. But, unfortunately, many girls and women do not stock up with means on care of body at all. Anti-cellulite cream, different srubs and the tightening lotions are absent on shelves, but the progressing fat continues to accumulate on hips and tummy.
Certainly, cream and gels will not give stunning effect, but in small degree will help to combat intolerable fat. Especially pleases that it is possible to combat easily in house conditions and not to spend huge money for saloon procedures which occasionally only aggravates situation and damage health.
Wrappings which stimulate combustion of fats are very effective and tighten skin. The most widespread and popular it is coffee, chocolate and wrappings seaweed. Let's consider the cheapest and toning – coffee.
It is necessary for preparation of structure natural ground by coffee, a little olive oil and water. The portion of coffee needs to be mixed with water before formation of dense weight, then to add oil (about 1-2 tbsps) and to mix carefully. This mix needs to be applied on area of stomach and hip, to turn back food wrap and to lay down under 2-3 warm blankets. Wrapping time 1 hour. During this time the processes which are responsible for splitting, of organism become more active there is excess liquid with some part of fat.

To drive fat on stomach and hips, the special exercises directed to combustion of subcutaneous fat, but not to strengthening of muscles though does not disturb one another at all are necessary. It is known that enough oxygen helps to be split to fat. For its receipt in organism it is necessary to carry out respiratory gymnastics which will stimulate exchange fat-burning processes. Diaphragm breath disperses oxygen to all fabrics and sections of organism, and simple poses with the moderate static movements will help excess of fat to leave area of stomach forever.
Very well exercises from complex of Bodifleks help. Many men and women have around the world chosen it for the purpose of weight loss and work on figure. At desire it is possible to choose several exercises and to carry out them daily for 15-20 minutes a day. The result will be swept up from the first days, and the health considerably will improve, you will disperse oxygen on all body, and it is very important point.
To say that one diet will help to get rid of importunate fat silly, "to stick together" beautiful body with slender waist, flat tummy and the tightened skin it is necessary to try properly. For disposal of extra 2-3 kilos fasting days which are capable without harm for organism perfectly will help to remove stagnant liquid and to drive fat. Yes, fat which at healthy nutrition and sports activities will not accumulate more on the most convenient places of body – stomach and hips.
But fasting days need to be carried out correctly and, at all, not to starve. Choose one natural product which does not differ in the increased content of fat and caloric content, and use it during the day. It can be cottage cheese, apples, kefir, cucumbers, everything that bears advantage, and, above all it is pleasant to you, then the probability of failure will be minimum. Only you should not abuse unloadings, in week there will be quite enough time. If the tummy small, then result to appear the next morning.

Magnificent rolls, the baked pork with mayonnaise and grandmother's pies darken reason and are instantly absorbed in the huge portions. Naturally and the stomach grows then, fat swims away. And does not happen so that also tasty it is sweet-is fat also without prejudice to figure.
If you want to achieve flat tummy without fat share, then it is necessary to refuse all vrednost and to begin to eat properly. Fermented milk products (it is desirable house preparation), vegetables and fruit from bed, fast meat, different cheeses with the minimum content of fat in a dry form, nutlets, eggs, seafood, and also vegetable oils have to become faithful companions. Many are frightened by this list, nobody wants to push in himself boiled eggs, instead of tasty Russian salad salad. But from the above-stated products it is very easily possible to make salads which it is not worse. Having included the imagination it is possible to cook tasty soups and snack only from useful products, at the same time the figure will change, will find appetizing bends, and mood, at view of such body at his owner, undoubtedly, will improve.

It would seem, in alcohol there are no fats, but there is a lot of calories. "Nothing, I from then will drive, and today I will dare to relax" - many so consoled themselves. But actually alcohol is not only the enemy to health, but also figure. If there is desire to find beautiful bends of body, then it is necessary to forget about alcohol at all. Same concerns also some carbonated drinks together with the packaged juice which contains the mass of sugar.
The most desperate ladies, having got tired useless fight against subcutaneous fat, lay down "under knife" on surgical table. The liposuction is operation on removal of fatty deposits which is performed under the general anesthesia. Sucking away fat from the problem place surgeons, if necessary delete also excess skin which begins to hang. Then all sites are tightened and fixed. After all these executions the patient spends 2-3 more days in hospital. In few weeks it is possible to return to usual activity, and month later to recommence active sports activities.
But after liposuction there are serious problems, also the lethal outcome is not excluded. Reflect before commission of so responsible step. Perhaps it is worth working over itself more actively.

There is a lot of ways to get rid of fat, but not all they are rational and harmless. And we aim to receive beautiful figure, without having impaired a little health. Listen only to practical advice, and everything at you will be fine, both body, and soul.


The Humboldt Project is located in northwestern Nevada on the Humboldt River. Rye Patch Dam and Reservoir is on the Humboldt River about 22 miles upstream from Lovelock, the county seat of Pershing County. The dam stores river flows for diversion to irrigated lands.
The project lands are in Lovelock Valley, on the lower flood plains of the river in an area of approximately 45,000 acres. The Lovelock Valley has been a gateway for gold and silver prospectors since the 1860s. Farming thrives, but it is a culture separate from the comings and goings of miners, ranchers and tourists passing through the region. Every drop of the Humboldt is precious as the average annual project rainfall is a scant 5.76 inches.
Entirely contained within the borders of the state, the Humboldt River rises in the Ruby Mountains of northeastern Nevada, winding and meandering 280 miles in a southwesterly direction until it is eventually swallowed by the desert. It drains most of the northern third of Nevada with tributaries covering more than 600 miles on the ground. A spot of fertility surrounded by miles of emptiness, Lovelock Valley soil along the Humboldt is rich and productive, though saline.
This desert anomaly is a mixture of sand, clay and highly organic soil. Framing project lands are the West Humboldt and Stillwater ranges to the east and the Trinity and Hot Springs Mountains to the west, the landscape of the lower river valley gently slopes from north to south, but it is almost flat in the lower reaches of the district.
Irrigation of the lands in the project area began in 1862. Because of the erratic natural flow, a full-season water supply without storage facilities was dependable for only a small portion of the 40,000 acres of irrigable land. During cycles of wet years, larger areas produced crops, but during dry cycles there were crop failures. Demands on the Humboldt River grew as the population increased from the 1880s to the 1920s.
In 1884, during a flood season, the Oneida dam, an earthen bulwark across the lower Humboldt backed-up water into valley, destroying acres of alfalfa fields. Farmers and ranchers donned masks and dynamited the dam to reclaim the flooded land.
In 1902, officials of the new United States Reclamation Service (USRS), informed settlers of Lake Tahoe, Carson and Truckee River valleys, Carson and Humboldt Sinks and the Lovelock Valley they would soon benefit in a mammoth irrigation project covering 400,000 acres. After further study, Reclamation officials found they had overestimated the output of the Humboldt and underestimated the amount needed to irrigate vast amounts of desert acreage.
The eventual project, the Truckee-Carson would service Reno, Fallon and Carson City, shutting out the people of the lower Humboldt. The first attempt to provide storage facilities was started by the Humboldt-Lovelock Light & Power Co. which, in 1911, filed an application for 57,000 acre-feet of floodwater from the Humboldt River. This company built the two Pitt-Taylor Reservoirs. Storage in these reservoirs has been limited because of high evaporation and inferior quality water. Designed to hold 49,000 acre-feet, Pitt-Taylor now safely stores 35,000 acre-feet. The Pershing County Water Conservation District purchased the water rights in these reservoirs in 1945, and uses the present storage in conjunction with Rye Patch Reservoir.
The Rye Patch Dam's design has three major structural features, an embankment, outlet and spillway. The full reservoir is 21 miles long from Rye Patch Dam north to the Callahan Bridge, near the town of Imlay.
The finished earthfill, rockfaced structure stood 71 feet high and its crest was 800 feet long. The 10,820 acre lake holds 190,000 acre-feet of water. The outlet works can release 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) and its spillways can discharge 20,000 cfs. The foundation is a mixture of clay, sand and fine gravel. A total of 322,900 cubic yards of compacted earthfill covered by 9,800 cubic yards of gravel and 36,200 cubic yards of rockfill and riprap forms the Rye Patch Dam.
In 1935 and 1936, to project engineers it was important how much earth would go into the dam, but for everyone else whose futures were part of Rye Patch, it was more pivotal how many people could be put to work and how much hope could be squeezed out of a paycheck or a harvest. Rye Patch Dam was a people's project, and laborers of all types profited from its development.
The Humboldt Project provides for storage at Rye Patch Dam, acquisition of lands and water rights upstream in the Battle Mountain area for supplementing the water supply for project lands, and utilization of the Pitt-Taylor Reservoirs.
The plan is designed to provide seasonal and long-term regulation of the Humboldt River and to increase the amount of water available.

A high-speed chase that went through Montgomery County and Autauga County ended Monday night when the car went off the road just north of the Chilton County line, according to Sgt. Denise Barnes, a Montgomery Police Department spokeswoman.
The chase began after the Montgomery Police Department responded to a disturbance call near Fairground Road/Chisholm at about 7 :47 p.m., Barnes said.
At the scene, she said Montgomery police attempted to apprehend a subject wanted in connection with felony warrants.
Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the subject refused to stop. As the suspect raced through Montgomery and Autauga Counties, the pursuit was taken over by State Troopers.
The pursuit finally ended at the Chilton County Line at U.S. 31, she said.
Barnes said there were no injuries to officers and that additional charges are pending. The identity of the suspect is not being released at this time.

Only the Packers are a certainty. Cousins, few but confused ideas
December 28, 2021 by Sally Center
Matchday 12 confirmed the mediocrity of this season. Only Green Bay stands out. The Patriots continue to amaze. Minnesota qb look for the oval under the … wrong butt
Massimo Oriani
@massimooriani
– Milano
The NFL season's sense of mediocrity over the Thanksgiving long weekend was further heightened by a string of memorable collegiate-level games over the rivalry weekend. So, after seeing the Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss, Jim Harbaugh finally beat Ohio State with Michigan in "The Game", Alabama forced to comeback at the last drive and then fold Auburn at 4th overtime and Oklahoma State dueling to the last with Oklahoma in "Bedlam", closing the twelfth week with a horrible Monday Night like the one won by Washington on Seattle 17-15, leaves a bad taste in the mouth. But anyhow, this is how it goes this year. Exciting, for heaven's sake, without a real favorite. Perhaps the Packers alone have shown consistency and reliability from the start (or at least after the debacle with the Saints of the first day). Not bad for a roster that according to diva Aaron Rodgers was not even up to winning against Seamen Milano …
The Pack is back
It was supposed to be the big match on Sunday, it turned out to be a one-way game. Had it not been for a couple of mistakes the final margin could have been much wider. Green Bay has never lost two games in a row since being coached by Matt La Fleur and is the number one Super Bowl candidate in the NFC. The Rams? Bah … They took Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr but they do not have a good taste, not the least of the problems, which are many, turnover in the first place. Matthew Stafford was supposed to be the Messiah, but how many games that matter has he won in his career? True, he was playing in Detroit, but maybe that's the problem. He has no experience at a high level and is used to losing. Three defeats in a row can only leave LA among the excluded from the conference elite. We can talk about it again, but that's it for now.
Coach of the year?
Shall we give it to Bill Belichick? It would fit everything. The Pats left in general indifference, in what was said to be a year of reconstruction (despite having spent a lot in free agency), but old Bill has already made him wear the party dress. Six consecutive victories, from 2-4 to 8-4, the number one seeded AFC within reach, a Mac Jones who even for Vegas is in the top 10 of the MVP candidates (of course, they give it 80: 1, but the mere fact that he is quoted says it very long), a devastating Matt Judon, the kind of player they didn't even have at the time of the first three Super Bowl, the most reliable kicker in the NFL after Justin Tucker in Nick Folk. The next three games, two with the Bills and one at the Colts, will tell us if they can be legitimate Super Bowl contenders. The bye week after the next Monday Night in Buffalo comes at the perfect time.
Lamar haphazardly
Four interceptions launched, three in a row. Yet the Ravens have won. Lamar Jackson enchants with his feline movements, but when he throws he often does it at random. It was enough against the poor Browns that it is not clear why they insist on deploying a physically broken Baker Mayfield instead of Case Keenum. For now Baltimore is number one in AFC, we'll see for how long.
Cousins, please left
Give your quarterback a $ 66 million contract, and at the climax of the game he gets behind the right guard to take the snap … Poor Kirk Cousins. Or rather, poor Vikings. Coach Zimmer was forced to call timeout only to see Cousins shoot the decisive oval. Minnesota would be in the playoffs if the season ended now. Do you understand why we speak of mediocrity?
to score or not to score?
When Leonard Fournette entered the end zone with 20 "to go, the instinct was to say" noooo ". Because Tampa could have stopped a couple of yards from the goal, let a handful of seconds slip away, call timeout and kick the very easy field goal of victory. Instead he gave the ball back to the Colts who almost made them pay for it. Pinion's kickoff return made the Bucs tremble. Only Rodgers' big hand on the kick returner's shoulder saved them. It is a Hamletic doubt, we are almost at the level of the old one if to do it in basketball when you are above three with a few seconds from the end (Popovich docet, or rather not docet …). The Bucs – as the good commentators said in their heyday – win but do not convince, especially in defense.
The turkey on the stomach
Enjoy your meal. Anyone who ate turkey on Thanksgiving will have had trouble digesting it seeing the three games on Thursday. Detroit-Chicago was a museum of horrors. Dan Campbell doesn't even know the rules: he called two timeouts in a row and got a 5-yard penalty on a crucial drive. Dallas, who always makes us regret as soon as we give her a little credit, has played whoever gets the most flags with the Raiders. It's over 14 all. Too bad he lost on points, the ones that count, with the Raiders. For the third time in the last 4 after the knockouts with Denver and Chiefs. The grand finale with the Bills who scrambled the Saints who were missing 15 owners. Other than tryptophan (amino acid present in turkey that seems to make you drowsy). We fell asleep in front of the TV for the quality of the game.
Players of the week
In attack Leonard Fournette with his 4 td in the victory of Tampa over the Colts. In defense Patrick Surtain Jr of Denver, two interceptions on Justin Herbert, one a pick six, during which he touched 22.07 mph (35 km / h), top for a defensive back ball in hand in the last 5 years (yeah , in the US there are also statistics for who won the most games on Thursday after getting out of bed with their right foot and eating omelettes for breakfast …).
Super Bowl of the week
Ravens-Packers. But if we go to Green Bay with a heavy hand, we write Baltimore in pencil …

This was on the 'East Campus' which developed around the original farmhouse location of the Clinic. These photographs document the construction of an important building in the Menninger philosophy of treatment, constructed to fit the treatment of the patients. In 1982, the "West Campus", a much larger area, was developed west of Topeka, a residential scale community of 28 structures on a 350 acre hilltop campus. In 2003, the Menninger Foundation was moved to Houston, Texas.

EghtesadOnline: Home prices in Tehran soared while the number of property deals significantly declined during the sixth month of the current Iranian year that ended on Aug. 22, the Central Bank of Iran announced.
This means that the trend of surging prices, coupled with falling property deals in the capital, has continued for the fourth month in a row, reinforcing the possibility of a nationwide housing recession in the foreseeable future since Tehran accounts for two-thirds to half of all property deals in Iran.
Data published by the CBI on its official news website on Thursday indicate that only 10,335 home deals were conducted in the capital during the sixth month of the current fiscal year, signaling a year-on-year decrease of 33.5% compared with the 15,545 deals in the corresponding period of last year. Compared to the fifth month of the current year, the number of property deals declined by 13.9%.
On the other hand, the average price of each square meter of a residential unit in Tehran stood at about 80.95 million rials ($491 based on the Sana rate of 164,771 rials to the US dollar on Sept. 28) during the sixth month, showing a massive annual surge of 74.1%, as average prices registered 46.50 million rials ($282) last year, Financial Tribune reported.
Home prices in the capital grew by 9.4% compared to the 73.99 million rials ($449) in the fifth month of the current year.
The trend of rising prices, in tandem with the falling number of deals in Tehran, emerged from the third month of the current year that ended on June 21, when prices grew by 45.8% and deals fell by 3.1% on an annual basis respectively. It has only exacerbated in the following months.
During the sixth month of the current year, newly-built residential units that are up to 5 years old grabbed the highest share of the total of 10,335 deals at 43.8%, down by 3.7% compared with the same month of last year. That lost share was added to units of ages 11 to 15 that registered a 14.9% share of total deals, but still trailed behind units of ages six to 10 and 16 to 20 with a respective share of 15.3% and 15.2%.
Homes more than 20 years old had a 10.8% share, the lowest.
The distribution of dealt properties shows that among Tehran's 22 districts, District 5 once again grabbed the highest share of total deals at 15.9%. It was followed by districts 4 and 2 with a respective share of 9.6% and 9.1%.
All-in-all, 10 districts grabbed the lion's share of the deals at 74.1%, with the remaining 12 districts holding a 25.9% share.
Once again, District 5 registered the highest average annual price growth at a whopping 92.1% during the sixth month of the current year. District 12 saw the lowest year-on-year average price hike at 36.2%.
Among Tehran's 22 districts, the northernmost affluent District 1 again registered the highest average home price of 176 million rials ($1,069) per square meter. District 18 was the capital's cheapest with an average per square meter price of 35.4 million rials ($214). These numbers show a respective increase of 75.3% and 55%.
CBI figures show that Tehran's residents again favored smaller and cheaper homes, as their purchasing power has significantly dwindled in recent months due to massive price hikes caused by a currency crisis.
Relatively cheap residential units with an average price range of 50 million rials ($303) to 60 million rials ($364) per square meter were the most popular in Tehran during the sixth month, as they garnered a 10.5% share of all deals. They were followed by units priced at 40 million rials ($242) to 50 million rials and 60 million rials to 70 million rials ($424) per square meter with a respective share of 10% and 9.4%. From the total number of deals, 54% pertained to homes cheaper than the average per square meter price of the city.
Residential units with an area of 60 to 70 square meters registered the highest number of deals with a 14.8% share of total deals. Units with an area of 50 to 60 square meters and 70 to 80 square meters came second and third with shares of 13.8% and 12.1% respectively.
On the whole, units with an area of less than 80 square meters had a 53.4% share of total deals.
CBI data further show that Tehran's homes worth between 2 billion rials ($12,138) to 3 billion rials ($18,207) were the most popular with a 13.6% share of the total deals. Units with price tags of between 3 billion rials to 4 billion rials ($24,276) and between 1 billion rials ($6,069) to 2 billion rials came next with a respective share of 11.2% and 9.5% of total deals.
Collectively, residential units valued at less than 6 billion rials ($36,414) had a 51.4% share of total home deals in Tehran during the sixth month of the current year.
During the first half of the current year, the number of home deals finalized in Tehran totaled 74,894. This figure was down 12.1% compared with the first six months of the last fiscal year (ended March 20, 2018).
In the same period, the average price of each square meter of a house in the capital stood at about 67.47 million rials ($409), signaling a year-on-year surge of 50.5% compared with the first half of last year.
The central regulator also announced changes to tenancy prices in the capital and across the country.
According to CBI, the price of rented residential units in Tehran and across all urban areas of Iran increased by 14.6% and 12.4%respectively during the sixth month of the current year when compared to the similar period of last year and the fifth month of the current year.
The share of housing expenses, including rent, from the expenditure basket of Iranian households stands at 33.1%.

MLB Postseason Preview: NLDS to provide exciting matchups
October 3, 2019 The Duquesne Duke Columns, Sports Comments Off on MLB Postseason Preview: NLDS to provide exciting matchups
Jack Breen | Staff Writer
Oct. 3rd, 2019
The 2019 MLB Postseason is upon us. 10 teams will compete throughout the month of October to try to make it to the league's 115th Fall Classic.
The playoffs kicked off this Tuesday night as the Washington Nationals (93-69) hosted the Milwaukee Brewers (89-73) in the National League Wild Card Game. The Brewers, coming into the game as the hottest team in baseball (20-7 in September), jumped out to a 3-0 lead against Max Scherzer. Brandon Woodruff went four innings for the Brew Crew and allowed only one run. Both offenses stayed quiet until the bottom of the 8th when 20-year old Juan Soto hit a bases loaded single off Josh Hader which cleared the bases, making it a 4-3 game heading to the 9th.
Daniel Hudson sealed the deal for Washington as they will travel to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers in a best-of-five series.
The Dodgers, who finished the regular season with the best record in the NL (106-56), won the NL West division title for the 7th season in a row.
Los Angeles will look to make it to the World Series for the third year in a row,and win their first since 1988. The Dodgers had a superb regular season, highlighted by the pitching staff of Hyun-Jin Ryu (2.32 ERA), Clayton Kershaw (3.03 ERA), and Walker Buehler (3.26 ERA). On the offensive side, MVP candidate Cody Bellinger has cooled off in the second half, but still finished with a 1.035 OPS as he is a 2019 NL MVP candidate.
According to FanGraphs, the Dodgers have the best chance to win the World Series on the National League side with their odds at 16.7%.
In another NLDS matchup, the St. Louis Cardinals (91-71) will play the Atlanta Braves (97-65). Ronald Acuña Jr. put another impressive season on his young resume finishing the campaign with 41 home runs and 37 stolen bases. In St. Louis, pitcher Jack Flaherty performed an incredible second-half of the season which consisted of a 0.91 ERA and 124 strikeouts over 99.1 innings pitched.
In the American League, the games will begin in Oakland as the A's (97-65) host the Tampa Bay Rays (96-66). Oakland will start southpaw Sean Manaea and Tampa will put Charlie Morton on the mound. Both teams, known for their advanced analytics and low payrolls, will compete to travel to Houston for the division series.
The Houston Astros (107-55) are the heavy favorite to win it all (35.2% per FanGraphs). The core of Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve, George Springer, and Carlos Correa look to win their second title together. The Astros lineup has recently been sparked by 22-year old rookie Yordan Alvarez who hit 27 home runs in just 313 at-bats in the season. The Astros starting rotation contains the two favorites for the AL Cy Young Award Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole. This pitching duo was turned into a trio when Houston traded for 6 time all-star Zack Greinke at the last second of the trade deadline. The Astros are hoping to finish a historic season with their second World Series in three years.
The New York Yankees (103-59) will take on the Minnesota Twins (101-61) in an ALDS matchup. The Yankees will enter the postseason with the most World Series championships of all time (27). They have not reached the World Series in 10 years, their last championship coming in 2009. In the other dugout, the Twins exceeded expectations in 2019. The Twins set the MLB season record for team home runs with 307, breaking the previous record of 267 set by the 2018 New York Yankees. The series should feature a heavy amount of offense with neither pitching staff being superior to the other.

Winner of the 2013 Punchline Comedy Competition in Seattle, Anthony started comedy on accident at a cafe in Kansas City during an open mic night in 2006. Not even wanting to be a comedian, one of the show runners asked him to display a talent at their open mic, and he wound up delivering what would be the trademarks of his comedy set for the past seven years: the combination of spontaneous brilliance and well written social commentary. Off the cuff, on the cuff, or even in handcuffs, Anthony Robinson is a good time.

Don't let a fear of being stung have you running for the indoors. At Abolish Pest Control, our bee exterminator in Brooklyn, NY, is available to tackle your bug problems. No matter how large the infestation is, you can count on our bee and wasp exterminator to deliver an effective solution. We conduct a visual inspection to detect any areas where mechanical control can be applied to get rid of the infestation. Turn to our trained technicians today to eliminate the immediate population in a fast and effective manner.
A bee or wasp nest at your home or business can be unsettling to see and comes with the threat of a painful sting. When you notice buzzing around your location, turn to our specialists for your wasp and bee removal.
At Abolish, our professionals are available to take on services for all types of pests, including pantry moths, ants, and roaches. However, our wasp removal service options are specifically designed to protect private homes and public locations from dangerous critters.
The most important element of wasp control is to destroy the nest. Aerosol "wasp and hornet" sprays can be used to knock down bees and wasps around the nest. Small amounts of pesticides (dust and wettable powder formulations work well) applied into the nests of carpenter bees and cicada killers provide good control. Nests of mud daubers can be controlled this way or by simply scraping them off structures. However, it is important to remember that a professional bee removal treatment is the most effective option for eliminating these bugs.
To prevent re-infestation, we apply finishes to unfinished wood to discourage carpenter bees. Sometimes, yellow jacket and honeybee nests occur in empty spaces like vents, attics, crawlspaces, or hollow walls. Destroying nests in these locations can be difficult, requiring the services of pest management experts.
Another special case occurs when large numbers of yellow jackets forage in public areas such as parks, schools, and zoos. Attracted to human food, especially meats and sweet liquids, wherever they are being prepared, eaten or discarded, yellow jackets pose an increased threat to humans. Control is often difficult. When located in wooded areas, the nests can be difficult if not impossible to find and treat.
How do you know if you have a need for a bee or wasp exterminator? Though related, bees and wasps differ in important ways. Most wasps have a narrow "waistline" where the front portion of the abdomen tapers to become a small tube as it attaches to the middle body section, the thorax. Bees do not have this narrowing of the abdomen. Another difference is that bees feed nectar and pollen to their young, while wasps feed their larvae insects and spiders. Yellow jackets and hornets also scavenge food including fruit, sweets, meats, and carrion. Our bee exterminator will take the time to ensure that are providing an effective treatment for your specific pest species.
One thing bees and wasps do have in common is that some species are solitary and others are social. A solitary bee or wasp lives alone, making its own nest and raising its own larvae. Those from a more social species live together in colonies consisting of many "workers" and one or more "queens." The workers specialize in different tasks, and cooperate to raise the queen's offspring.
These species should be considered a greater threat to humans than solitary species. This is because social species, like honeybees and yellow jackets, defend an entire colony, and have more individuals available to do so. Solitary species, such as mud dauber wasps, defend their nest alone.
While bees are scary, many of them provide a number of benefits. Of all insect species, the honeybee is perhaps the most beneficial. There is, of course, about 200 million pounds of honey produce commercially each year. However, the honeybee makes its chief contribution by pollinating plants. Honeybees pollinate more than half of all fruit and vegetable crops.
Wasps contribute by preying on many pest insects harmful to crops. Without bees and wasps, our menu would be very limited. Unfortunately, bees and wasps can be a threat to human health, and they should be treated by a bee exterminator before they can cause issues. Each year, 50 to 100 people die from bee and wasp stings. Most die from an allergic reaction to the venom within one hour of the sting. About one percent of the population is allergic to bee and wasp venom. Those allergic to stings should carry emergency epinephrine injection kits as directed by their doctors.
Contact our bee exterminator to work with us for your service needs. At our company, our bee and wasp exterminator offers services throughout parts of Long Island, in addition to Staten Island, Queens, and Brooklyn, New York.

Froome remains in Vuelta a Espana contention with dramatic bounce back

A measured response from Chris Froome (Team Sky) on the Lagos de Covadonga during stage 10 saw the Briton drop back from the group of favourites early on the toughest climb of the Vuelta a Espana so far before returning to contention in dramatic style.

Vuelta a Espana: Froome hoping to find best form in third week
TV images showed triple Tour de France winner off the back of the Covadonga climb with around 10 kilometres to go and as Movistar cranked up the pace. Froome lost nearly a minute at one point on the Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and Alberto Contador group.
But then after using team-mates Pete Kennaugh and Leopold König for solid initial support to start to claw back time, from then on the clock was slowly ticking in reverse as Froome began cutting back on the gap. Froome steadily moved past dropped riders, gradually squeezing the margin on Contador and Quintana to a bare 20 seconds.
As Froome continued his relentless clawback, the Colombian dropped Contador with around 3.5 kilometres to go, and around a kilometre later, Froome passed the Spaniard too, with only Robert Gesink (LottoNL-Jumbo) and Quintana left to beat ahead of him on the climb.
By the finish the gap opened slightly between Quintana and Froome, to 25 seconds between the stage winner and the Briton as Froome reached Gesink. The Netherlands rider then passed him again, but Froome, in any case, had not only limited the damage inflicted by Quintana, but also managed to open a small gap on Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and a larger one on Contador and the rest of the field.
"I just rode the climb at the best pace I felt was the efficient way to get up there and according to how I thought the legs were feeling," Froome, third overall at 58 seconds on Quintana, told a small group of reporters later.
"Nairo is in great form and we've seen that over the last few days. I've got to be happy with where I'm at, just keep doing my thing and hope that over the next few days I find either an opportunity to go for it or defend my position that we're in and wait for the time trial."
Froome said that he had tackled the climb in a way that was "regardless of what was going on around me. I was just riding at the pace that I felt was most appropriate for a climb, for a 35 minute effort and I could see guys I was going past being blown from the front and they maybe started off a bit fast, so I used my team-mates the best I could and they did a great job today.
"It was good for the morale [to pass riders], but I knew that Quintana was a good 45 seconds up the road and that was pretty tough too, not having to chase after that and respond straightaway. But for this point in the season, after the Tour or the Olympics , I'm just hanging on to what I have left and I'm trying to get through the best I can."
Froome recognised that should the margin between himself and Quintana remain roughly as they stand all the way through to the 37 kilometre time trial on stage 19, starting that TT with a 58 second margin "is a big gap. If I can get more time back that would obviously be ideal, but if not, I will have to make do with what I have got."
The Briton denied that he was - as is so often speculated - "riding by numbers"
"Not necessarily," Froome said. "I was riding more by feeling today, just riding with what I felt I could do on the climb in the most efficient way to get up there and not to lose every more time.
"I mean, who knows, maybe if I'd gone and really pushed myself at the beginning, I would've lost even more time. I felt like that was the quickest way for me to get up there today and I think at this point I really have to calculate my efforts."
Froome also commented that his more measured effort was a reaction to having ridden much harder, earlier on, as he did on the Alto de La Camperona and where he lost time late to both Quintana and, albeit only eight seconds, to Contador.
"Like I saw a couple of days ago when I really got stuck into the climb [of Alto de La Camperona] earlier on, I paid for it afterwards. I think today [stage 10] was definitely a more measured effort. Also in the past, every time I have ridden this climb, I have blown, so I feel like today was a better effort than I have done in the past."
Froome now has a rest day prior to tackling a climb which will bring him good memories - the Peña Cabarga, where he beat Juan Jose Cobo back in the 2011 Vuelta for his first Grand Tour stage win, en route to a breakthrough second place overall behind Cobo and ahead of team-mate Bradley Wiggins.

In September, it seems like everyone in grade school had to write an essay about their summer vacations. I know that I did, and when I was teaching school, I assigned the essays. It was an easy way to get to know the students in those early weeks.
I've already had my summer vacation, actually late-spring/early-summer. I spent 16 days in Denver, the longest I've been there since moving away in 2011. From the first day, after I'd only been off the plane for about half an hour, it was already better than I'd expected. On a previous trip I had rented a car and the radio was awful - lots of static. I complained about the radio and was given a coupon for a free rental car upgrade for the future. At Enterprise, I was told I could pick any car except the Porsche. I chose a new (only 800 miles on the odometer) red Camaro.
While there's almost no room for a back-seat passenger and little room for luggage in the trunk, it was a blast to drive - a lot more fun than my aging, 14-year-old Xterra. It was hard to give the car back at the end of vacation, and I'm pleased to say that I didn't get any speeding tickets!
On the first full day in Denver I was registered to take a class with Stephen West at Fancy Tiger. I didn't know what to expect. From all that I've seen online (mostly on YouTube) I was afraid that the class might be a bit of a Gong Show. I was pleasantly surprised when he turned out to be a kind, professional teacher and charming and funny. He was teaching the brioche stitch which I'd never done before. Now I have another technique in my knitting repertoire.
Check out the "eyeballs" around his neck. On the flip side is where his phone is carried!
But wait, the Sunday wasn't over. In the evening I went to The Hudson Gardens to see a group that I've been listening to since I was a kid, The Four Tops.
The members of the group have changed over the years. Some of the current members are family with the originals. The songs like "Baby I Need Your Loving", "It's the Same Old Song", Reach Out I'll Be There" and "I Can't Help Myself" still sound as good today.
Check out the flashy outfits. When it started to get dark and the lights were on the group, those suits shone and made for great stage clothes. Sitting in a lawn chair on the grass with my friend, P, and listening to the music was a wonderful way to spend a pleasant June night and to start my vacation.

The Ideal Relationships End With… Review of [140530]Golden Marriage
Foreword: Aaaaaaand finished! With school started (on Monday to be precise), I find that I have even less time to play eroge, much to my dismay. Perhaps it's about time I left my MMORPG hobbies…
Nonetheless, we have another ensemble game! Unfortunately, it seems that even this company is suffering from the degradation in quality: this game was minimal in terms of quality, and in my opinion (and I say it reluctantly) crappy.
Really, I fell in love with Damamuko and maybe Gokigen Naname, but it's just ridiculous how rapidly a company will fall in a course of a few years :|
Well, I'll try to cover as much as I can… Next up are three titles I've been eye'ing from the August Releases (with some nukige titles), and we'll see how that goes. AstralAir and Hello Lady is next on the list after that.
Title: ゴールデンマリッジ (Golden Marriage)
Producers: Ensemble
Game Type: Romance Novel with themes of Economy (?)
Summary: They say that marriage is like the "grave of life", but others say that it's the "Golden Time" of your life instead. At least for Nagisa, the protagonist of this story, marriage wasn't something he had in mind.
He is the successor to the very wealthy Tachibana family, and sincerely wishes to continue the family name with all respect to the people who adopted him and raised him as if their own. This is when he is soon challenged to find a partner: he will need to find someone who will support him for the rest of his life and stand with him as he succeeds the family.
"There's no need for money if you have love!" That's what they all say… Will it apply to Nagisa as well?
As fate would have it, the girls dormitory at Nagisa's school is heavily damaged with an earthquake, so in order to renovate it, all the girls who lives there must move out… but to where?
Well, Nagisa's step-mother is the School headmaster, and being the responsible woman she is, she invites them all over to her house!
and thus begins the story of Golden Marriage
The entire crew!
Story Length: Moderate (~15 hours)
Comments: Nothing too big here: just need to blitz through the beginning choices until you reach the school festival, and voila, a 6-way split (provided you have the Marika patch).
Game Quality: Low
Rating Comments: All in all, this is a minimally rating game due to the story being relatively crappy. The game does have a good build-up during the common route, but all that effort in making up the climax is thrown right out the window with the protagonist randomly falling in love with choosing someone at a single selection menu. This is aside the fact that ensemble tries to squeeze a conflict at the very end of a heroine route, which ironically made it anticlimactic instead. (You'll understand my disappointment if you played the game)
Character Design falls greatly due to characters seeming waaaay too "fake", as in, the character's personalities do not seem natural: it seems too "forced" (in another sense, too good to be true). In addition, ensemble's going to get points deducted every time they use the "ojou-sama" character. Seriously. What the fuck ensemble. EVERY GAME YOU MAKE HAS ONE. STAP. SRSLY.
Well, the twist in this game is that it's the protagonist that's the unbelievably-super-rich character, except the game then goes to show you that the protagonist had experiences in the past where he would "flirt" with girls (and he even admits in game to having sex with some of them), and the girls would really be dating him for his money. That's a good background setting and all that, but you really need to SHOW the readers that it happened: not just say it was like that. AT LEAST put a reminiscence scene in the beginning episodes involving his past.
They add these "imaginary" CGs, though
I can say "I conquered the universe", but I'd look like a dumbass if I actually couldn't show any proof, right? Same here. Just words are not enough in some cases, and it's definitely how it is here.
Protagonist rating falls even more because of his unnatural design (seriously, what's with the character design nowadays?) of being "absolutely perfect" at least in the eyes of the people around him, which ironically contradicts with his past when he was playing around with girls. In addition to this, Nagisa never does anything in the game to make the girls fall in love with him: they're all just in love with him and that's it.
Bullshit. (Oh, and he also falls in love for no reason too)
Lastly, Ensemble really needs to ditch the economics shit. Their company name is ENSEMBLE, you know, as in the group of MUSIC? Where the fuck did all the money talk and economic theories come from anyways? They might as well change their name to something like "Profit" or something (although that's kinda shady in itself) /rant
Character Summary: Right, character summaries. I'm probably just going to repeat what it says on Getchu anyways, but oh well.
Touko is first, and the beginning scenes show her waiting for Nagisa… so she can go into his house to use the bathroom. This strange girl is then shown to be an otaku; loving video games as much as the next guy. For the reference, she's a "childhood friend" character.
Despite this strange characteristic, Touko seems to be extremely skilled when it comes to something we all know as "investment" (At this point, I found it funny that if you translate Touko's name and the word "investment" into Korean, they're the exact same characters), and proves this throughout the game.
Perhaps because of this skill, she is also the one who provides anything from small games to vital information to the group.
While I found it favorable that Touko "acts" the role of Nagisa's fiancee to keep the other girls away, I really didn't like her route in general because it was all about how Nagisa suddenly finds this "childhood friend" to be irresistibly cute.
Next is Rei, an interesting character, honestly, in the sense that she becomes involved with Nagisa after seeing him in a magazine to be someone ideal for her. She flat out transfers to Nagisa's school and calls him out: saying that she's willing to marry him for his money, since she wants to further her skills with her Viola. Obviously, Nagisa refuses, but Rei's not really the one to give up that easily.
Being one of the ones to evacuate to Nagisa's house, most of her route shows Nagisa being dragged by her to enter in the Music Concour.
Rei's route was pretty much shit because it flat out says the girl was out for Nagisa's money, but suddenly changes her mind within a course of a few weeks to the point she is now in it for him instead: she doesn't care really about the money. In this sense, she fits the game's quote "As long as there is love, then there's no need for money", but with no transition, Rei might as well be another crappily designed character.
Next, Kasumi. This character is shown to be one year younger than Nagisa but his "senpai" at the restaurant that he works in. It is immediately shown that Kasumi is very poor, and struggling to make ends meet as she raises a younger brother and sister. (At this point, I was reminded of Otoha)
Kasumi's involvement with Nagisa starts when Debtors suddenly ambush her, showing her a paper that proves that her parents borrowed an enormous amount of money (approx. 50,000 USD), and she must now pay it in lieu of them. Obviously not having any money, Kasumi is forced to sell her body to protect her siblings.
What do you know? Nagisa comes along and BAM! He pays the entire debt in a single sweep.
Now, as Kasumi feels more affection towards this person who saved not only her, but her siblings as well, she then finds out that the person she loves is living with girls all over the place. Using the debt as an excuse, she forces herself onto Nagisa's house, so she can somehow "repay" Nagisa.
Generally speaking, I really love this kind of setting: a very rich character falling in love with a very poor character (regardless of the gender). The game even shows that there was at least some reason for the characters to feel affection for each other (I like how I'm getting excited over the minimalistic elements). The crap smeared out when the game abruptly ends the route altogether by saying Kasumi is an ojou-sama, and her parents are actually alive.
…What the fuck just happened…? (that was my reaction)
Then we have Ruri, Nagisa's senpai both in school and at work. Very honest and with a strong sense of justice, her first encounter with Nagisa was when Nagisa was being threatened by someone after he flirted with who was apparently the guy's girlfriend. While it was the girl who made the approaches, she had turned around and stated that it was Nagisa who forced her to do things she didn't want to do.
As the guy was about to attack Nagisa, Ruri had stepped in and taught the thug his lesson. This had left a good impression on Nagisa.
As it turns out, Ruri is actually the child of a family well known to be relatively volatile; aka, equivalent to the Yakuza. This explains her great physical abilities. Ruri's route mostly involves her conflict with her father, but again, this was way too short. Despite this, I guess it was better than the other routes in the sense both Ruri and Nagisa play their roles as expected…
Last main heroine is Yukariko, and I apologize Miyabi-sama (Yukariko's CV), I really hate your voice because it sounds so DAMN fake. I mean, when I hear a loli character's CV, I can pretend to imagine that it's actually a young girl voicing the character, but I can't imagine your voice to actually be as it is: It really sounds like you drank some helium gas before you started recording, and all the H-scenes you voice sound the same. ALL OF THEM
With my rant and complaints aside, let's now complain about the character herself.
Absolutely perfect to the point it's ridiculous, with her design to be a heroine who "steps out of her boundaries" and becomes a "naughty girl", yes: exactly in that sense.
So let me get this straight, ensemble. You're trying to advertise a character using "gap-moe", and you seriously do that by making one side "Yamato Nadeshiko", then the other a "slut"?
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG HERE.
And really, Yukariko's entire route revolves around this, so I was just dryly laughing as I held down the CTRL key through the H-scenes, and as with any other "Perfect Senpai" archetype heroines, the conclusion was relatively predictable.
Marika is seemingly a subcharacter that suddenly appears in the common route. Despite how she is displayed, she doesn't get a route without the Marika patch.
Even then, the entirety of her route is pretty much
1) Reminiscence of how Nagisa was the only boy she came in contact with
2) How much she loves him (because it's so natural for you to fall in love with the only male you've ever met)
3) Her dreaming about having sex with him in the bathtub
4) Nagisa "agreeing" to take her as a partner if she waits for him (outside of the dream, though)
Seriously, that's the entire route, no joke.
I want my 10 minutes spent playing her route back
Comments: This game is seriously a mess! I actually had good impressions from the "romance leading into Golden Marriage" or whatever they advertised on Getchu, but all the romance I got was the two characters suddenly transitioning from friends -> husband/wife with H-scenes in the middle over the course of what's not even a few months.
Episode 0 opens up with its patch after you clear the game, and it's actually about the meeting of Nagisa and his step-mother, Elvilla. It shows the personality of Nagisa's parents, and drives the message clear that Nagisa has both the blood of royalty and of a wealthy family. It still doesn't show Nagisa's teenage years though. Also pretty damn stupid how it ONLY OPENS UP WHEN YOU CLEAR THE STORY. Episode 0 my ass.
WHERE'S THE SPRITES? OH MY GOSH YOU JAPANESE EROGE MARKET STOP IGNORING SUBCHARACTER SPRITES!
*pant pant*
The lack of subcharacter sprite simply shows the lack of effort put into this game, and makes it harder for a reader to imagine the scene realistically. It's also really ironic how a VISUAL NOVEL doesn't have these VISUAL elements in them. Really, not adding sprites is like implying that the subcharacters aren't that important, but if you're going to at least use them in the last scene (designed to be climactic), then you better damn well give them one
The ultimate irony is that ensemble DOES give a sprite to this mysterious subcharacter named "Liner" or something like that. He appears in some of the heroine routes, but doesn't seem to have much significance, nor does he seem to have any role either.
So simply put, ensemble gave sprites to characters that do not seem to have much significance while not giving ones to the subcharacters that might have really needed one.
And I still hold a grudge that they ended Kasumi's route so abruptly
Affection for the Characters: Very Low
CG Score: 4/10. While the CG itself was relatively good, there are several weird body proportions here and there. The real flaw is the complete lack of SDCGs
Music Score: 3/10. Even worse, in the sense that Rei's route (which involved her playing the Viola) had no exclusive tracks to show that she was playing the Viola. "Maybe we can trick the readers if we just used a dramatic BGM instead!"
Like hell you can.
Addictiveness: Low. I can't see anyone coming back to this game unlike the other games produced by ensemble.
Conclusion: Again, this game is a mess. With all the crap being produced nowadays, this is your typical "charage" with a forced climax attached to the end so the company has the excuse of calling this a novel. Humor is actually non-existent here (or at least of low quality to the point all the laughing I did was at how horrible it was). Characters seem awfully fake, and if there was anything remotely good about it, it's the CGs.
Time for the new releases. Hopefully, at least one of the titles turns out good… Otherwise, at least I'll have my month's worth of nukige…

The game's biggest flaw probably stemmed from the fact that it felt incomplete. As you noted, Marika's only content is literally a h-scene which didn't happen. I'm typically not a fan of loli characters, but she was just so consistently kind, that it felt a little messed up in regard to her.
I don't know why the game decided to center a few arcs on Reiner, while ignoring him in all the other routes. The game doesn't take itself seriously, but it tries to develop some type of meaningful, principal plot. Yet at the end, it leaves more open questions than anything.

Oh here we go again another landmine huh, well it is to be expected. The only thing I can give a thumbs up is the art is really beautiful and absolutely nothing else. And if the company does not bother to put effort, there is no reason for players to expect a good game out of it.
Is it just me, or you seem to attract landmines?
When it comes to actually choosing what games to play, I get a bit picky. However, I tend to be rather stubborn on "finishing" the games if I started it, even if it's a horrible game. Heck, you saw me with GIB about a month ago: it was horrible, but I finished it for the sole reason of playing a Whirlpool game.
I'm sure I said this before, but I'm a hardcore masochist when it comes to eroge (Not that I'm proud of it, LOL) maybe because of the sole purpose of being able to criticize it with authority.
On the bright side, I come across just as many good games as bad (although the good ones are primarily the ones from my backlog Q_Q)

You're absolutely right, at first I find that Kasugano-senpai is really lovable because of Yamato Nadeshiko personality of her but SERIOUSLY !? Her role in the game just being overwhelmed and I don't even know why the hell the Protag fell in love with her :"(( Even in her route, their love just simply make promise -> Tell the parents -> H -> marriage !! Everything just doesn't make any sense !! I really disappointed, the game just ruined my favourite Yamato Nadeshiko character type :"((
Exactly! While I didn't appreciate the "gap-moe", either (because it's ALWAYS used for a "perfect heroine"), I would've really liked a greater buildup of Nagisa and Yukariko's relationship.
In a different sense, I would've appreciated the story to go something like this:
1) Nagisa realizes Yukariko is missing something despite her "perfectness"
2) Nagisa realizes that he possesses that "something"
3) He confronts her about it, but they end up fighting due to this
and you get the point: this would be MUCH better than what was presented in her route (which I omit due to spoilers)
BRILLIANT!! That would be much better indeed ;)) I just can't believe this game is made by Ensemble !! A total disappointment *sigh* :((

I am relieved that you didn't like this game. Everyone in the community was loving it, so I thought I was crazy or something. I was about to think I am was the weird one for not feeling excited by the idea of a girl approaching me just for my money…
This was the only game I played that I didn't review it since I got my blog (just to have an idea: I reviewed even Majo Koi). The problem here was that I played it for such a short time that I had almost nothing to say about it.
At least Touko already knew Nagisa long enough to fall in love with him…I guess. Her route was pretty weak! But at least her character was a bit amusing, she is not half bad. And what about the other heroines? "Kasumi"? No! "Yukariko" and "Ruri"? No & No! "Rei" DAMN NO!
It's funny how you demand SDs to the point you give low scores for the lack of them. I actually couldn't care less for this stuff because I am not a big fan of SDs. If every SDCG of a Galge became normal CG, I would be really happy!
Anyway: AstralAir? Yes! that's a goooooood game!……………..Hello Lady is still much better, though! Just saying…
The demanding of SDCGs is like asking for proof that the producers put effort into the game. It's kinda like how even if an essay is horrible, if you have 50 pages of it, then it at least shows effort (aka, give me quantity if you're going to suck in "quality" anyways)
On the other hand, the game had really little comical scenes, which may have made it hard to incorporate SDCGs, so I understand to some extent, but again, it's that "give me quantity if you're not going to give me quality" thing.
Honestly, I was looking forward to how they would make Nagisa deal with girls that approach him for money. He has a really apathetic personality towards wealth in the first place, so I should've seen it coming, but oh well…
akerou said:
I'm not surprised. I have a rather bad opinion of ensemble anyway. It's not like all of their games suck, but most of them do while the one's that don't are decent at best. And while they are decent, they're still stuffed with the same clichés and plots that always make me think "wait, wasn't there a similar plot like this somewhere before…?" oh my bad, it wasn't just similar, it was basically the same plot ~30-40 other games (+ manga, anime…) have.
They lack creativity to an extent that can make you speechless at times.
By the way, are you afraid of AstralAir? xD
No, it's not that. It's on my HD and all, but I'm just not getting the incentive to play it.
…and that's a lie: I'm just wanting to play other games instead.
It's kinda like how I want to keep my Strawberry on my slice of cake for last, if you understand that logic at all xD
I used to do that a lot. That led to a pile of potentially really good games growing while I kept reading the "average" stuff and at some point I just realized that what I'm doing is… rather self-defeating.
Well, since I've regressed to only reading games that pass the trial test, which amounts to 1-2 games per month, I don't have to bother with that anymore. xD
Anyways, take your time. I'm just curious because for some reason most people seem to be deliberately ignoring massive flaws of that game >-<
And you are saving yourself a LOT of time and frustration by doing just that!
As I've explained though, I don't have the luxury of doing that if I wished to write up reviews, and even less as I start classes OTL;
Right now, I'm going through with Hello Lady, but that might be put on hold as I go through the three "decent-looking" titles of August, and THEN I'll get to AstralAir.
(I'm seriously going to fail my classes at this rate LOL)
type03xx said:
Yep, most of them give a 9 or even 10 in VNDB. I myself couldn't give it more than 8. (How generous of me! lol) Regressive from Hoshizora, I give that 8.5 since true route didn't click with my taste. Since my grammar is bad, I don't write a blog. But if I got a chance I really want to rambling my opinion for a little.
Oh, and what is the definition of Ojou-sama character anyway? Haughty behavior? Use watakushi? (Okay, not all of them use it) Or simply if they are a high class people? Would princess count as Ojou-sama character too? I know some, if not most of them are seriously annoying. But some of them are really cute with pleasant personality.
Wow, you really ARE generous with your ratings!
Regarding the Ojou-sama, I just hate it how ensemble uses the "very wealthy heroine who is raised in a protected environment" template in every game they have.
As an example, it's like a company having an "imouto heroine" in EVERY SINGLE GAME they produce. This really suggests that the company has no originality, and never really "adventures" with different type heroines (which is weird, because they DID become creative with the game, "Damamuko", and I consider it a success)
So in all, it's not the ojou-sama character I hate, but how it's overused.
To actually answer your question, I would label an ojou-sama character as someone who is considered "high-class" according to the Definition of Economic Hierarchy; possessing a lot of money (and the game makes it clear to this) so they can be relatively liberal with their spendings


This is an old family favorite for parties. The half-mayonnaise and half-sour cream combination makes a nice balance between sweet and tangy. I use the same ratio when I make potato salad, in fact.
It's pretty much the only thing I use this Beau Monde seasoning for but it's worth keeping it around just to make this dill dip.
This is the dip recipe everyone in my family makes to use with cut up vegetables.
Mix together and chill at least an hour before serving.
Serve with vegetables such as carrots, cucumber, radishes, endive, green onions, cherry tomatoes, celery.

100 U.S. Juveniles, Not Guilty of Murder, Get Life Without Parole
DeepDiveAdmin
During the astounding rise in crime in the late 1980s and 1990s, many states took measures to punish offenders, and to punish them severely. Some passed the death penalty, others added long sentences. Other states instituted the sentence of life without the possibilty of parole, even for crimes in which no one was killed, and even for juveniles. The latter is what is at issue now.
On Monday the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments from the lawyers of two men sentenced to life without parole for crimes committed as juveniles. They will claim that the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment forbids sentencing them to life in prison for crimes other than homicide.
According to The New York Times, there are a little more than a hundred people in the entire world serving life without parole for non-lethal crimes committed as juveniles. They are all in the U.S. -- 77 of them in Florida.
In his brief to the Supreme Court, Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum explains the dilemma the state was in:
"By the 1990s, violent juvenile crime rates had reached unprecedented high levels throughout the nation. Florida's problem was particularly dire, compromising the safety of residents, visitors and international tourists, and threatening the state's bedrock tourism industry."
Nine foreign tourists were killed in high-profile attacks over eleven months in 1992 and 1993, one by a 14-year-old. Florida wanted to assure people that i was safe to come to their state, so they passed the tough new sentencing laws. But some say they went too far.
"Back in the 1990s, there were dire predictions about teenage super-predators, particularly in Florida," Judge Thomas K. Petersen, who spent a decade hearing cases in juvenile court, said. "Florida, probably more than other places because of that rash of crimes, overreacted."
Others, though, say the sentencing is appropriate. "Sometimes a 15-year-old has a tremendous appreciation for right and wrong," said State Representative William D. Snyder. "I think it would be wrong for the Supreme Court to say that it was patently illegal or improper to send a youthful offender to life without parole. At a certain point, juveniles cross the line, and they have to be treated as adults and punished as adults."
In his brief, McCollum wrote that juvenile crime fell 30 percent in the decade ended in 2004, attributing the drop to the state tough approach.
Florida is one of eight states with juvenile offenders serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for non-homicide crimes, according to a report out of Florida State University. Louisiana has 17 such prisoners; California, Delaware, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska and South Carolina have the rest.
