My family hasn't had a family reunion for quite some time, probably because my dad's side of the family is large, but my parents have decided that it had been way too long since we all got together so they are putting together one for this May. It's no surprise then, that I would be asked to do the website for the event.
Have the ability for people to sign up with the website.
See what I mean, easy and it wasn't very long before I had a workable design draft up and running & some very liberal wireframes.
So for the actual technology and stuff behind the design, it's really quite simple. It just a One page site built on WordPress. Now why did I use WordPress for a One page site? Well I chose it because not only am I familiar with it and how to develop for it, but also it allowed me to choose from a host of different plugins for the registration stuff.
As for managing the registrations, I chose The Eventr plugin. The main reason for it was that it was easy to use and didn't bloat the front end code when I installed it.
One of my favorite parts of this project though, was getting to design the icons for the activity section. I wanted the page to have some personality related to my family / relatives, so I chose some more light-hearted topics. Plus, if nothing else, I just like the look of that steak and moustache icons.
Add a place for it to gather all the pictures taken during the trip into one place (probably flickr based, I'm thinking).
Well if you have any questions, comments, concerns, cool cat gif's, just leave them in the comments below.
Thanks for laying everything out as you did. I really enjoyed the mustache icon, that was perfect, and fits in well being that mustaches are so popular right now.
Keep us posted on how well the site works out. I know family reunion sites are kind of new, but it would be really neat to see them take off. Thanks for sharing your experience creating a family reunion site.


The Samantha Pleet F/W 2010 show & afterparty was truly a friend filled fun fest.
Sam's collection, which is really my absolute fave of hers to date, is full of plaids n parkas and capes and rompers and paperbagged highwaisted skirts that are going to be major.
She did a collab with Osborn (they of my Somali-pirate oxfords that I bought in April 09 at the Brooklyn Flea) and used silks that had been first buried in the ground for 3 months (I know)!
Sam is nothing if not whimsical.
The lookbook was styled and shot by the insanely wonderful and vivacious duo of Miss Kathleen Clements and Andrew DeFrancesco, respectively. They also co-directed a video to accompany the collection.
When Kat proposed I crafternoon with her to make some quasi-hippie-mystical jewwwrieees for SP Fall 2010, how could I say no? I love adding a SLASH to my job title!
MY OTHER MUST HAVE- PARKA & MATCHING ANKLE BOOTS!!!
Samantha Pleet A/W 2010 from Samantha Pleet on Vimeo.
Indeed! You are reckless with the eye candy! I needed to see this intense cape-age. I love the cape. I love the militant coat. I read the bit on military jackets in yesterday's Sunday Styles so I bought myself a vest from Uncle Sams. I cannot wait to get it! Hope you get everything you want dahlin!
This collection is SO COOL. Those oxfords. I really really need them. And I love your 'WL Jangles' they are awesome and work really well with the different pieces ha.


I did an interview on Radio Live this morning on the economic impact of immigration. When I went to listen to it afterwards, I found it was marketed under the heading "Immigration causing poverty". I'm not sure where they got that idea from what I'd said, but just to be clear my argument is that high rates of immigration to New Zealand over the last 60 or more years have worsened our overall economic performance. But even from my relatively pessimistic perspective, this is still one of the better off countries in the world. And as readers will recognize, I reckon immigration, if anything, lowers unemployment rather than raises it – ie puts more short-term pressure on demand than on supply.
In case anyone is interested, here is the link to the interview.
UPDATE: Thanks to Radio Live for changing the heading.
The here and now is being accepted as the norm. I agree with some of reason's points. Auckland has changed dramatically in the space of two decades, due largely to un-planned (un-controlled) growth brought about largely by un-controlled (un-planned) immigration. The qualities that attracted migration in recent years are being over-whelmed and changing the place, and not for the better. Reason says he doesn't want the changes being brought in. It is too late. It has already happened. Old-time residents, will be aware of it, but, like the frog-in-the-boiling-pot, it is part of the landscape and not so obvious. To the frequent visitor it is more than obvious.
Once upon a time, say 100 years ago, migratation from say the UK and Ireland and parts of Europe tended to be the disenfranchised in their own land who sought the potential for a new start in the antipodes, the lands of milk and honey and sunshine. They tended to arrive with $1 in their pocket with the hope of a fresh start. They started at the bottom of the heap and pushed the locals who were already on the heap upwards. Everyone benefitted. No-one was disadvantaged. Now, over the past two decades the game has changed. The wealthy from other countries are arriving as economic or political refugees with economic clout. They come in at the top of the heap and push the locals down economically speaking. They have the economic clout to out-bid the locals. Price no object.
Interesting perspective. My only observation at this stage is that few of the migrants are the "overseas wealthy" (it is those nurses, and café managers etc). Demand for houses from wealthy Chinese does seem to have been an issue – but many of them weren't becoming resident there – but even that demand looks to have been interrupted by some combination of the NZ tax number requirements and tighter Chinese controls on capital outflows.
There are lots of cheap properties outside of Auckland but best be quick as the new rich local Aucklanders that have sold out to new migrants are now buying up the rest of NZ.
These enclaves are not new to Auckland. Auckland has always been priced on racial lines. In the past, suburbs have already been priced more along the lines of Pakeha, Maori and Pacific Islanders. Most cities are priced in a concentric circle where the centre tends to be the most pricey and cheaper as you go further out from the centre. Not so with Auckland. Now you just add Indian and chinese to the mix.
For every migrant that is prepared to pay a higher price, there is a local New Zealander that has retired wealthy due to the higher prices. There is therefore no net loss to New Zealanders. The problem goes back to demand versus supply. If you can supply to that demand then you would not have higher prices and in most cities the answer is high rise buildings but because Auckland has 57 sacred mounts with viewshaft height limits, the closest high rise from Auckland central is New Lynn, Manukau City, Albany which is 40 minutes drive away and an hour plus in peak traffic. Blame those height limits around those 57 sacred mounts. Blame Council planners and their PC approach to Maori heritage sites. Blame Len Brown and Penny Hulse.
Surely there are a wide range of circumstances and outcomes?
Competition for housing reduces choice.
"and there's another word you'll hear and that's agglomeration. It is agglomeration that is sucking people into the golden triangle (Auckland Hamilton, Tauranga). Nine to Noon.
"In the 1970s and 1980s we had a debate about what it meant to be tangata whenua in this country and we opened up new spaces to welcome people who are not like me.
far-reaching reforms have dramatically altered the institutions and policies of this society.
So we had a debate but it was almost a decade before there was an awareness of that debate?
The media are to educate. If so on whose authority?
they had a role to play in explaining (positively) the complex issues of immigration.
Shouldn't *positively* be replaced by *objectively*? He is a "distinguished" Professor?
Media is just a collection of personal opinions with a editor that ensures that the news sells newspapers and balanced with some standards to ensure they do not get sued. Immigration is a replacement policy. Government just decided that the cost of a declining population was higher than the cost of a higher population afterall they were responsible for managing taxpayer funds.
As our trading partners from India and China began to become our largest export markets and our participation in the welfare of the polynesian nations it just got more difficult to discriminate and maintain solely a pakeha based migrant program.

'Leaving' Celebrities Whose Word Ain't Worth a Damn
Ray Rice and the Sanctimonious Media Mob Rule
MSNBC Hosts Call Trump Claim of Soros-Paid Protesters 'Anti-Semitic'
One has to admit, when they get it wrong, they go all out.
Joe Scarborough accused President Trump of engaging in anti-semitism on Monday's "Morning Joe," saying his Friday tweet accusing George Soros of paying Brett Kavanaugh protesters was an old "trick".
"That's a very old, tired, anti-semitic — very old anti-semitic trick that people have claimed, usually on the internet," he said.
— The Wrap, 10/8/18
It's been awhile since a "card" was played. Scarborough was digging deep.
On-air Brzezinski called the charges that Soros' money was funding protesters "false".
This is the very definition of #FakeNews. The media puts something out, in error or intentionally, their activist guests lie on CNN and come clean on MSNBC, millions consume it and the damage is done.
Ana Maria Archila and Maria Gallagher were the two women who confronted Flake inside the elevator. Perhaps because they expressed such raw emotion, few media outlets dug into their political activism. Archila is an executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy; she had spent the previous week in Washington engaged in protests against Kavanaugh. Gallagher is a 23-year-old activist with the group. The center is a left-wing group heavily funded by George Soros' Open Society Foundations. Indeed, as of 2014, Open Society was one of the three largest donors to the group.
Make no mistake. The Center for Popular Democracy is at the heart of the effort to stop Kavanaugh. A source forwarded to me an email sent from the organization: "Last week, you saw protestors interrupting the Kavanaugh hearings, trying to slow it down and show the Judiciary Committee how much they/we care. Those protests were organized by the Women's March and the Center for Popular Democracy and other groups."
Archila has another role beyond her duties as co–executive director of the center. She is also a member of the national committee of the New York-based Working Families Party. The WFP was founded in 1998 by the leaders of ACORN, the now-disbanded and disgraced group of community organizers.
— New York Post, 10/1/18

Nice what size boggers and how much lift?
Thanks, It has 38 boggers with 16.5x12 stone crushers. The lift is kind of hard to determine. It has a big body bronco frame under it because the big block wouldnt fit between the frame rails of the bronco ii frame.
Yeah I have one battery that I move around to all my different toys. The weather here has it's ups and downs so it is pretty bad on batteriess as well.
What a wonder full b2 I was thinking about doing the same with mine. Did it bolt right down or did you do some mods.

Starting up: Provident Communications Inc.
Today is a big day for me. My hope is that it will also turn out to be a big day for leaders and companies who want to become better at telling their stories and building valuable, meaningful and lasting connections with their audiences.
I've made the difficult decision to leave my role as Vice President of CEO Communications at Manulife Financial Corp., a leading global financial services company. I'm parting ways with what has been an exciting and rewarding career as a corporate communications leader to launch a new business, Provident Communications Inc.
The definition of "provident" is being prepared for the future, and having foresight, imagination and good judgment. I think that sums up, in very broad strokes, what a client-focused, innovative and agile communications firm like Provident can offer.
I am also humbled and excited that Manulife has agreed to become a Provident client. I'm grateful to everyone at Manulife for this generous and significant opportunity, and am delighted we will be able to continue to work together.
Provident will officially open for business next Monday, June 20, but the website is live now, at www.providentcomms.com.
Let me provide some context about how I got to today.
As part of my roles at Manulife, RBC and TD, and earlier, during my journalism career, I had the good fortune to meet various leaders at some of the world's biggest brands, as well as some truly exciting startups. Our conversations revolved around everything from organizational trust to the need to drive higher employee engagement through communications and executive thought leadership. I learned a lot, much of which I applied to my work.
At the same time, I also heard the same persistent needs: almost universally, these leaders are eager for big ideas and stellar execution in storytelling, both in terms of content and channel. Not surprisingly, many of them seek fresh communications strategies anchored by innovative thought, insight and sound counsel.
They want advisors who take the time to learn and understand their businesses before offering input. They want trusted communications partners who develop bold and original approaches to building employee engagement and public profile alike. They want calm, seasoned issues-management expertise when crisis hits.
And among startups, many face their own unique communications hurdles, from pitching investors to shaping their brand and scaling awareness of new products.
That's where Provident comes in.
Provident will solve these challenges with expert and innovative advice, flawless and agile execution and best-in-class service. My track record is built on both global daily business journalism and bluechip corporate communications leadership, and my firm will be bringing all of that to bear for our clients.
I look forward to working with many of you soon.


This inscription is written in Persian on the walls of the Bara (Great) Katra in Dhaka. It explains that Abu'l-Qasim Tabataba Shuja Husayni Al-Simmani erected the building and the 22 adjoining shops. The profits from these shops would to go towards the cost of repairing the Bara Katra and also provide either free shelter or a caravanserai for travellers and merchants. These conditions were not to be violated or punishment would be forthcoming on the Day of Judgement. The inscription was written in 1055 An Hegira (1645AD) by Su'd al-Din Muhammad Shirazi.
This engraving was based on a drawing by James Atkinson, which served as plate 7 in Charles D'Oyly's 'Antiquities of Dacca'.

Imagine a world without contracts. If one's word were indeed one's bond, in such a "Ram Rajya" you would not need contracts at all. Nor would you need courts of justice to enforce these contracts. Yet, we live in Kalyug, where misunderstandings and incorrect interpretations of the spoken word co-habit outright lies and deception. In such a world, we need to sign and enforce contracts.
As employees, we sign employment contracts with our employer. As borrowers, we enter into credit contracts with our banks. In an uncertain world, we undertake life and health insurance contracts with insurance companies. It is not hyperbolic to say that we live in a world surrounded by contracts.
This year's Nobel Prize in economics, awarded to Professors Bengt Holmstrom and Oliver Hart, recognises their contribution to understanding the variety of contracts we observe in real life. Such understanding enables firms, policymakers and each one of us to think how contracts should be cleverly designed.
Contract theory enables us to think clearly about the various issues involved when designing a contract. One important reason for drawing up a contract is to regulate future actions. For example, when an employment contract stipulates rewards for good performance and the conditions for dismissal, employees are motivated to exert more effort under such a contract than if the contract did not stipulate any rewards for good performance and penalties for slack.
In regulating future actions, however, we face three problems or "frictions": conflicts of interest, inability to observe actions and free-riding in teams. First, most of us are not angels, which creates conflicts of interest. For instance, employees may pursue what they like and not necessarily what the employer wants the employee to do. Relatedly, the activities involved as part of one's contractual responsibilities may be multifaceted. For instance, student learning and students' test scores are related but not identical. A teacher incentivised to improve students' test scores would focus only on material that enhances test scores, thereby compromising student learning.
Second, an employer for instance can only measure the outcome of an employee's action but not the action itself. The outcome is affected not only by the employee's action but also by luck. How does the employer reward the employee's action instead of rewarding for luck?
Third, when activities are performed in teams and individual contributions cannot be accurately measured, free-riding by team members and sycophancy to the boss may result, thereby dampening performance. Contract theory teaches us how to design contracts and institutions to regulate future actions despite facing such frictions in the real world.
Should providers of public services, such as schools, hospitals or prisons, be publicly or privately owned? Should teachers and healthcare workers be paid fixed salaries or should their pay be performance-based? To what extent should managers be paid through bonus programmes or stock options? Why is it risky to use stock options to reward managers in institutions that embed significant risk such as a bank? Contract theory provides us with a toolkit to carefully answer such important questions.
Apart from the three frictions described above, regulating future actions becomes difficult because it is difficult to anticipate all the possibilities and contract for all eventualities. Therefore, contracts specify who has the right to decide what to do when the contracting parties cannot agree. Property rights on assets confer such rights to make decisions about how to use the asset. The party owning the property right exercises greater power. A firm usually owns the innovations made by its employees and therefore gets to decide how to utilise the innovation.
However, if the employee anticipates abuse of such power – by depriving the employee of his just rewards for the innovation – the employee will not invest sufficient effort to innovate. Conversely, if the employee is conferred the property right over the innovation, the employer may lose the motivation to train the employee and provide adequate research and development facilities.
Deciding who should have the property right over the innovation requires careful balancing of such countervailing forces. Contract theory enables us to answer such questions, which are critical in the context of the new economy. Given the ubiquitous influence of contracts in our life, this year's Nobel Prize in economics is certainly well deserved.

Shabaka and the Ancestors | We Are Sent Here By History
Prolific British saxophone trailblazer Shabaka Hutchings continues his winning streak.
THE PRESS RELEASE: "Shabaka & The Ancestors was formed in 2016; Shabaka Hutchings had been flying to Johannesburg to play with trumpeter/bandleader Mandla Mlangeni, who connected him to a group of South African jazz musicians that Hutchings admired. After several sessions, their first album Wisdom Of Elders was made. This follow-up record reunites the group, who recorded again in Johannesburg and Cape Town last year. This album is more urgent, more unrelenting, darker and energetic and presents a major social commentary in the context of ancient traditions. Shabaka explains this is "what happens after that point when life as we know it can't continue." We Are Sent Here By History mixes African and Afro-Caribbean traditions. The album takes the concept of the griot — the living archive of a historical narrative, the storyteller and contextualizer — and presents the album as the modern day griot. Therefore, a really important aspect to this is the accompanying text to this album: South African performance artist Siyabonga Mthembu chants and sings on this record and composed lyrics for the album. Shabaka then chose song titles from the lyrics and composed poems around each title, based on Siyabonga's lyrics. On the aptly titled We Will Work (On Redefining Manhood), Siyabonga sings a poem in Zulu that, when translated to English, shuns the archaic pillars of virility. From childhood, young boys are trained to suppress their emotions and suffer in silence. "This song sings from the point of the toxic masculine," Siyabonga says. "It repeats the sentences they tell to their boys — to not cry, to not grieve and to not hurt." Says Hutchings: "We Are Sent Here by History is a meditation on the fact of our coming extinction as a species. It is a reflection from the ruins, from the burning. a questioning of the steps to be taken in preparation for our transition individually and societally if the end is to be seen as anything but a tragic defeat. For those lives lost and cultures dismantled by centuries of western expansionism, capitalist thought and white supremist structural hegemony the end days have long been heralded as present with this world experienced as an embodiment of a living purgatory."
MY TWO CENTS: British saxophone trailblazer Shabaka Hutchings has been on quite the hot streak lately with his other bands, the acclaimed outfits Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming. Based on the deep dynamic grooves, soaring exploratory solos and exotically stirring vocals at the heart of these transcendent and compelling pan-cultural tracks, it's clear that in his case, good things really do come in threes. Until he starts up a fourth band, anyway. You have been called. History awaits.

India can't defeat Pakistan militarily, says a former Indian police officer in new book
NEW DELHI: India has no understanding of its military and strategic ambitions vis-à-vis its stated enemies, Pakistan and China, and is unable to beat any of them in a battle, a new book by N.C. Asthana, a retired Indian police officer who is known for his security insights, says.

A analysis of the book Strategic Security and Conventional Arms Race: Spectre of a Nuclear War was conducted by The Wire on Tuesday. It cites the book as seeing "a huge mismatch between, on the one hand, the militaristic official and media rhetoric and the reality, which is that India can not militarily defeat either country."

Asthana is quoted by the reviewer, Siddharth Varadarajan, editor of the respected current affairs portal, as saying that India will be best served by seeking answers to the security problems both Pakistan and China present by reinforcing itself domestically and exploring non-military solutions, including diplomacy, instead of pouring large quantities of money into costly weapons imports.
Asthana's columns are widely read for their scholarship, and while in office, he has published 48 books, written or co-authored. Varadarajan says he is particularly noted for his ability to be harshly critical of the political and bureaucratic establishment.
Author says that exploiting enmity with Pakistan for electoral benefits has made Indian leaders victims of their own rhetoric
Asthana also places the spotlight on what he terms "the warmongering policy," which has dominated public debate in India over the past six years, according to him.
"He notes how a large number of Indians seem to be itching for a war, under the delusion that India has somehow, magically become invincible."
This narrative of invincibility is both fueled and amplified by constant shipments of firearms. In the five years since 2014, Asthana sets the figure India has spent on weapons imports at $14 billion, "and the undisclosed cost of the 36 Rafale jets purchased from Dassault Aviation is not included."
But even this number pales before India is expected to spend $130 billion on weapons imports over the next decade, including 100-plus even more costly fighter jets to cover for the shortage created by the decision of the Modi government to cancel the earlier contract for 126 Rafales.
Each of these acquisitions is celebrated and sold to the public by the media as weapons that would flatten India's rivals, as the fanfare over the launch of the first Rafales demonstrated. But this is far from the facts, of course," Varadarajan quotes the book as saying.
The frenzied importation of conventional weapons, Asthana suggests, would never guarantee a lasting solution to the military dilemma posed by Pakistan or China, since both countries are nuclear-weapon states and cannot be overcome decisively on the battlefield.
"The futility of warmongering should be clear, considering the myth of Indian invincibility. But, as the past few years have shown, jingoism is at an all-time high in India," the book notes.
Although conventional weapons may have a tactical edge in restricted theatre conflicts outside of combat, the danger lies in escalation, which is difficult to manage at the best of times, but especially when the strategy of warmongering has vitiated public discourse.
Asthana argues that the manipulation of enmity with Pakistan for political advantages has made Indian politicians victims of their own propaganda, leaving them with a one-dimensional approach that is impractical in the face of nuclear missiles from Pakistan. Quoting Napoleon, he notes: "Nations should avoid the pinpricks that precede cannon shots if they want peace."
The army, the air force and the navy of India are greater than those of Pakistan. The small number of attack axes, however, in which the much-touted Cold Start could be used, seems to make the entire thing very repetitive, according to Asthana.
Any factor of shock and surprise has little scope. In addition, both sides have discussed and examined nearly all solutions and counters to them.

In any event, the moment Pakistan fears that, under the weight of a greater Indian force, it will lose a conventional battle, it will feel forced to instantly go nuclear. It's not 1971. Recall what General Khalid Kidwai, head of the strategic command of Pakistan, told a visiting delegation of the Italian arms control organisation in 2002 about the country's red lines.
"General Kidwai recalls the Wire review as saying that Pakistani nuclear weapons will be used "if Pakistan's very life as a state is at risk. Asthana summarises the red lines of Gen Kidwai thus: "Nuclear weapons are directed exclusively at India." If deterrence fails, it would be used if India threatens Pakistan and conquers a large part of its territories (space threshold), if India ruins a large part of its land or air force (military threshold), if India manages to strangle Pakistan politically (economic strangling), if India forces Pakistan into political destabilisation or produces a large-scale internal subversion in Pa
Examples of Pakistan's economic strangling include a naval blockade and the stopping of the flows of the Indus River, according to General Kidwai,

Sonic Adventure 2 Review
by Colm Ahern on October 11, 2012
Game: Sonic Adventure 2
Published by: SEGA
Developed by: Sonic Team USA
Available on: Windows PC, Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network
Reviewed on: Xbox LIVE Arcade
Over a decade ago, Sonic Adventure 2 released to critical acclaim on SEGA's last ever home console. It was considered to be one of the last great games on the Dreamcast and was the blue hedgehog's final appearance on SEGA hardware. However, a lot changes in eleven years. In 2001, Hear'Say had a number one album, the third Jurassic Park released in cinemas and Real Madrid signed footballing wizard, Zinedine Zidane. Video games' growth as a medium, is much quicker than some others and Sonic Adventure 2 is clear evidence of this. What was once considered "great" among the masses, is now simply dated. A lot changes in eleven years.
The story is pretty rubbish, but it does attempt to do one interesting thing by splitting up the action between the heroes and the villains. Before you begin, there are two options to choose in single player, Hero and Dark. Within the Hero story arc, players assume the role of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles throughout levels with different elements of gameplay. The Dark campaign runs parallel with the Hero storyline, as gamers get to play as Dr. Eggman and newcomers to the series, Shadow The Hedgehog and Rouge The Bat, with gameplay mechanics that are similar to their heroic counterparts. This Pulp Fiction fashioned approach is definitely intriguing and gives some context to the villains' motives, rather than just placing them in the role of "The Baddies", for the sake of it. However, an interesting way to tell the story, does not a compelling story make.
Dr. Eggman travels to the gloriously named Prison Island in search of a secret weapon, which he learned about in his grandfather's (Dr. Robotnik) diary. The secret weapon turns out to be Shadow and the two set out to take over the world, obviously. Understandably enough, Sonic and chums must stop the moustache sporting doctor and the black & red clone. The voice acting is down right atrocious. Sonic's one-liners aren't even ironically funny, Tails' whiny voice gives more ammunition to fox haters and the roster of characters being added to Sonic's universe was becoming frighteningly overwhelming at this stage. Throughout the cast, which is massive, no single character is in the slightest bit endearing, leaving players blasé about the whole thing.
Just like the voice over work, the soundtrack is dreadful. Some of the tracks can be enjoyed in a pure cheesy way, like the iconic City Escape Stage music, but it must be said that, on the whole, Sonic Adventure 2 would be enjoyed more on mute while you shuffle through your favourite iTunes playlist. Some of it is just terrible, like the laid back hip hop of the Wild Canyon Stage. Those that choose to wear rose tinted glasses while playing, however, may get a kick out of it.
Without any pre-conceived notion of nostalgia, Sonic Adventure 2 looks of its time. With the HD lick of paint, it still pales in comparison to some other titles that have received the same treatment. In-game action now takes place in 16:9 ratio, but the CG cutscenes are still in 4:3. It isn't all bad though, blocky and polygonal models are saved by how colourful the whole thing is. Yes, it looks like a video game from 2001, but trying to fault it for that seems unfair, even if some other games from that period looked better.
The levels are varied throughout the game because of the different set of characters in each campaign. Sonic and Shadow bring the 3D, fast paced platforming that we've all come to know and…yep, that's it. Last year's Sonic Generations has been one of, if not the only time that 3D Sonic has worked, to certain degree. Playing Sonic Adventure 2 just reminds the player that the blue hedgehog doesn't translate to 3D, all that well. In the lightning quick sections, the game doesn't stutter and almost feels automated. Once the platforming sections start, the problems begin. A commonplace action such as collecting a ring becomes an issue, as judging exactly where that lifeline is, is a game of cat and mouse – wherein the mouse is a static golden circle. Frustration builds, as seeing the object of interest in front of you is simple, but grabbing it is somehow impossible.
In the Dr. Eggman and Tails' sections, the player controls a bi-pedal mech that can shoot missiles and also lock onto multiple targets before firing. On top of that, in these stages, the player will have a life bar, which is obviously a tad bit different in the Sonic realm. Out of all the gameplay mechanics within the game, this one, which is the least like traditional Sonic, is the best. Everything moves at a slower pace, allowing for more precision platforming and the shooting isn't all that bad. The doctor and the fox don't reinvent the genre, but they're the most satisfying sections within the game.
The least satisfying, by a country mile, are the levels where Knuckles and Rouge take centre stage. In these shambolically designed areas, The Echidna/The Bat must track down three items of interest; three keys, three emeralds, etc. There is a radar system and it is laughably horrible. A small image of the item you are looking for will flash at the bottom of the screen, if you are close. The difficult thing is, there is nothing to tell you where to go in the first place, which leads to aimless jumping and faffing about until you know you're in eyeshot of something. On one particular occasion, I spent close to 15 minutes on a Rouge The Bat level trying to figure out where my objective was in the area. They are certainly different, but on the other hand, they are indubitably bad to play.
One thing ties all of these together; the camera. The camera is detestable in Sonic Adventure 2. It's erratic in how it moves, it can change view whilst you are platforming which will more than likely lead to death and it has a tendency to stick to invisible walls. It also has, what can only be described as a fit, when you try and manoeuvre it to your liking. On top of all that, there are parts of the game where the camera is placed uncomfortably close to the playable character and cannot be touched at all. Again, leading to death. The camera in Sonic Adventure 2 is one of the most awful I have ever come across. Some may believe that this is indicative of a camera from the early noughties, but there were multiple 3D platformers that had far superior cameras, as far back as 1995.
A lasting memory for fans is the Tamagotchi-esque Chao Garden. Here, you raise little blue creatures by providing them with love and affection or, if you feel like it, tough love and affection. Your raised Chao will then turn out to be on the Hero side of things, or the Dark side. You build up a Chao's stats by giving them Chao Drives, which in-game enemies drop, animals, which you collect in the different stages, and by feeding & nurturing them. This can be a fun little distraction from the abomination of other areas in the game, but trying to hatch a Chao takes too long and the process of raising them feels laborious on occasion.
VERDICT: There's a lot to do in Sonic Adventure 2. A story mode which will take a considerable amount of time, the Chao Garden and a local two-player mode that may interest some. Though, quantity can never out weigh quality. Sonic Adventure 2 is a bad game. As a HD port, there are niggling issues like the the entire package not being in 16:9 not to mention the fact that plenty of games from that era looked much better than Sonic Adventure 2 already. Cheap deaths and the prohibiting camera are two massive factors in a game that is glaring with faults. If you enjoyed Sonic Adventure 2 back in 2001, don't kill your childhood by booting up this title.

I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is "fake" around me or, he'll bore you with, what I like to call, "the risks they take". Henrik Larsson is my hero.

This is how I feel at exactly this moment.

I know that you probably don't believe it but my heavybubble website is finally launched. I just couldn't stand it anymore when people asked me about my site. It was no longer amusing.
The site is actually very small right now. I need to get some work photographed. More will come.
courtyard : Una instalación con la nieve !!
This is a photo of the first big snow this year. It was also the first snow at our new residence. This is the view from our balcony as neighborhood fellows tried to clear the pavers for cars to make it out. That's our VW Jetta under about 10 inches of snow.
I found the geometry amusing.
My friend jacob albablank commented on Flickr That it was a snow installation.
I need to have a couple friends at the ready next time to make a piece. A drawing with the snow – an installation.
I've been investigating my relationships that intersect on facebook. The who and how you want to be connected to people. I have many friends that are my friends; family, associates, tangential relationships and people that want to be friended.
Its not that I don't want to be connected; its how I want to be connected.
How do I create conversations without creating a door to my inner space. The democracy of technologies allow us to be connected, maybe too connected all the time.
There is something very odd going on with this post.

Three men were arrested on the Sea to Sky Highway last week after RCMP found two dead female deer in the back of their van, along with two loaded rifles.
Sea to Sky Regional Police Services pulled the van over near Pemberton on June 14 th at 2 a.m. while conducting a road check for impaired drivers.
According to conservation officer Chris Doyle, one deer was pregnant with twin fawns and the other is believed to have left a fawn behind.
"We don't know how long they were dead for, because the case is still under investigation. But it is believed they were shot that night," said Doyle.
Doyle added that police suspect the deer were killed near the Pemberton Meadows area.
The men, from Richmond, face charges of careless use of firearms and unlawful possession of dead wildlife and are scheduled to appear in court in August.
Deer hunting season begins in September, with hunters requiring a hunting license. Female deer, however, can never legally be hunted.
According to Doyle, the maximum penalty for violating the Wildlife Act is a fine of up to $50,000 or six months in jail.
"We usually deal with a few cases of violation of deer hunting each year. However, they are more common during hunting season," said Doyle.
Anyone in the Pemberton area with more information is asked to contact the RCMP or Conservation Office.
Beyond poaching, RCMP officers in the Whistler Pemberton area continued to be busy throughout the weekend, responding to 58 calls for service.
These responses included four noise complaints, three cases of people drunk in public, instances of causing a disturbance, five impaired driving calls, one collision, two driving complaints, and nine reports of theft.
The RCMP is reminding everyone in the area to make sure to lock their vehicles and remove all valuables before parking.


International work assignments for Western expats see most expats heading for the USA, India or Switzerland, according to a major relocation specialist company.
International relocation is commonplace nowadays, and is often the first introduction to overseas living for the majority of expat professionals. Settling into a new position in one of your company's international hubs is a challenge, as is finding a niche in the expat community outside the working environment. Seen as an exciting new opportunity at first, the stress of a new culture and often a new language can affect everything from work to home.
One of the biggest problems for relocated expats is finding suitable housing at a price which fits in with the agreed relocation package. Closeness to transport, shops, restaurants and good international schools is paramount but sometimes difficult to find, especially in the more popular expat gated compounds in larger cities.
Being relocated to the USA, for example, may sound relatively straightforward as regards adjustment, but challenges can be found in housing as rentals are becoming more expensive and less easily available. If your family is moving with you, schools in the USA are very different from those in the UK as regards discipline and the content of courses studied. When your assignment ends, it may be tricky to re-enrol your kids in a UK school due to differing standards of education between the two countries.
Perhaps the major problem of relocation to India is finding suitable accommodation. Gated communities are the preferred expat option, both for safely and community reasons, but there's a high demand for a shrinking number of properties in good districts. Schooling usually involves private international schools and, although standards are usually good, charges can be high.
For many relocating expats, Switzerland seems the ideal placement due to its small size, high standard of living and efficient amenities. However, Geneva's housing costs have soared and availability is shrinking as more overseas companies relocate their professionals. Apartments are especially difficult to find in good locations, although the Zurich rental market is stable at present and the city has much to offer as regards expat life.

When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him and then asked, " Is your heart one with mine ? "" It is," Jehonadab replied. Jehu said, "If it is, give me your hand." So he gave him his hand, and Jehu pulled him up into the chariot with him.
And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart [is] with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give [me] thine hand. And he gave [him] his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
After he left there, he encountered Rechab's son Jehonadab. After he greeted him, Jehu asked him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is with yours?" "It is," Jehonadab answered. "If it is," Jehu replied, "Put out your hand." So Jehonadab stuck out his hand, and Jehu took him up to stand in his chariot.

A.	A "facility" includes all the components of a power plant located on the site and may also include new interconnecting electric power lines and natural gas fuel pipelines. For example, a natural gas-fired facility would include a natural gas pipeline to bring fuel to the facility; a boiler to create steam; a turbine to be rotated by the steam; an electric generator to be turned by the turbine; a cooling system; exhaust stacks; various buildings to house the components; employee areas; back-up fuel storage tanks; ancillary equipment, parking and storage areas; an electric substation including transformers; and a transmission line to carry the electricity out to the grid. A wind-power facility would include wind turbines on towers with integrated electric generators; electric collection lines; access roads; an electric switchyard and substation including transformers; meteorological towers; and a transmission line to carry the electricity out to the grid.
A.	If such facility is proposed to be located in a village, the chief executive officer representing the town shall nominate four candidates, the chief executive officer representing the county shall nominate four candidates, and the chief executive officer representing the village shall nominate four candidates for consideration. The list of candidates is to be submitted to the President Pro Tem of the Senate or the Speaker of the Assembly within fifteen days of receipt of notification of the pre-application preliminary scoping statement.
A.	No. There are three power authorities in New York State: the Power Authority of the State of New York (NYPA); the Green Island Power Authority; and the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). The statute expressly provides that all three authorities are subject to the provisions of the Article 10 siting process for major electric generating facilities which they build or cause to be built.
A.	The presiding examiner will award funds on an equitable basis to municipal and local parties who will use them to contribute to a complete record leading to an informed decision as to the appropriateness of the site and the facility and will facilitate broad participation in the proceeding.
