[Japanese RPG] Final Fantasy 7....by a non gamer

RedXIV — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 08:46:50 GMT

You don't want to put her off the game either though

Wait until she gets to Wutai. I had trouble there with the normal enemies when Yuffie took my materia. It's more of a high level optional area for later on but if you take it on right after getting the plane/ship then it can be difficult. Saying that she's problem well able to deal with it at her levels. Maybe you could be sneaky and berate her when she inevitably accidently collides with Emerald Weapon and tell her he's a cake walk

I honestly don't see her having any trouble for a while now unless she decides to do the pagoda challenge. Those enemies are more puzzles than battles and since she is unfamiliar with the FF system the later ones might have her stumped.

[Horse Racing] Horses to watch out for in 2012's Flat Season?

MoscowFlyer — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:08:31 GMT

Posted by kingkenny2012:

A French horse, Dragon Pulse, for M. Delzangles seems very interesting. Raced for Jessie Harrington last year and had Parish Hall 2l back when winning over 7f at the Curragh last summer. Followed that up with a staying on 1/2l 2nd to Aidan O' Brien's Power also at the Curragh. He is entered in the Irish 2000 guineas and having already battled gamely to win a 1m Group 3 at Longchamp, could be a nice prospect for it.

Also like the look of Godolphin's Mandaean. Trained by Andre Fabre last year, he is now under Mahmood Al Zarooni. A Gp 1 1m2f winner over Heavy ground in Saint-Cloud, the 2000 guineas may be a bit short for him but he could be a good thing for the Derby. The best price about him for it is 20/1, which I think is pretty big even before the Guineas, for who I think is Godolphin's primed Guineas runner.

But who's to Urban Sea won't produce another phenomenon with Born to Sea. Would love to see it!

Silly it's a hard decision to make & you have to make the decision that is right for you & your family I'm in the give it a go frame of mind for now but I have always suspected that I might struggle to breast feed so will have bottles etc on hand def will be looking at combined feeding possibilities also so that my partner can be involved.
There is a lot of judgement & pressure around breast feeding but then women also do the same re natural vs epi vs c-section birth & it all seems a little ridiculous to me

Just a note about your daughter feeling left out when the baby arrives. There is 4 years between my partner & her brother. When he came home & people visited, her mum sat her in a chair & gave her her brother to hold. That way anyone fussing over her brother included her & I'm sure it helped with her feeling a big part of the new arrival. You could do the same easily as she is 11 so will be far more able to manage a newborn
Another simple thing is for her new sibling to get her a gift of something she really wants...I know she is old enough to know its not really from her new sibling but if it's something she really wants she should acknowledge its from the baby

I love my few drinks and nibbles. I love prawn cocktail snack a jacks (3PP) or the salt and vinegar ones. Or any 2PP crisps for that matter, meanies, skips, snax, onion rings (the green multipack), burger bits, all 2PP.

Another thing would be chop up carrot, peppers, celery and cucumber into strips and get some low fat homous or tomatoe salsa

[Accommodation & Property] Rent to buy Advice needed

Thanks for the advice guys. I understand what you are saying about renting but it does kill me paying someone else and not putting anything off my own home for €350 between two people is nothing per month . Its somewhere i could see us living for short to medium term (ie. 5-10 years ) with a view of letting it out and buying elsewhere if the country's circumstances changes within that time to start a family.

I have done my travelling and want to settle here. Really just looking to get started with a place i can call home.

Posted by Ellis Dee:

It brings back a fond memory of a Laois County Councillor called Ned Kelly, who was a real "character" and used to hold court in the Continental in Portarlington. Ned, never a fanatical teetotaler by any stretch of the imagination, was at his usual big table one day when a certain lady from over Monasterevin way joined the group.

As it happened, she was the kind who would make Hyacinth Bucket look unprepossessing, and soon she was boasting to all present about her two teenage daughters, who were extremely gifted in school and had won prizes for needlework, music, compositions and what have you ---

She continued in full song until she mentioned that the girls were soon going to start riding lessons. That was when Ned looked up from his glass of whiskey and said: "Ah, ridin' lessons. I take it now, ma'am, ye mean ridin' lessons of the horsey kind?"

They don't make 'em like him any more.

On insurance, I've never paid for it in 20 years of fairly clumsy high-end mobile phone ownership, without cases or screen guards. Taking the €9/month figure proffered earlier, it's saved me €2160. Even if two of those phones broke, I'd still be down more than a grand.

Mobile phone insurance is in the same category as extended warranties. I think the old ruggedised Nokia feature phones are a better solution for someone that clumsy.

Great new about Podolski but I think he's play slightly wide.

We have so many players who can play central midfield that i think it will be hard for Wenger not to play the 4-5-1 (4-3-3) formation.

Arteta, Rosicky, Diaby, Ramsey, Song, Wilshere and young players like Coq, Fringpong plus some I'm forgetting.

As for Gervinho I think he's a donkey. Decent at beating players from a stop start but that's it, I dont know how many times i've seen him fluff at the ball inside the box.

Not sure if we need M'villa, I havent watched much of him and I cant remember Wenger ever splashing the cash on a defensive mid, too much hype anyway for him to come.

When Ireland gets out of the dark ages and allows a proper postal vote then the statement will be true. Until then there are many who are disenfranchised through business or leisure travel on the day of the election/referendum.

Case in point was the moving of the presidential election, we booked a holiday assuming the rumoured (and fairly widely accepted) date only for the Govt to move it. No postal vote.

It's only redeeming feature was that it also had that legend Sean Pertwee in it too, I've no idea how he dies in this one as i turned it off after a half hour, yep i made it that far!

Seriously, avoid at all costs!

I almost rented this (sometimes I go old school and actually go to this little video store and rent movies), but I got the title mixed up and I was looking at The Devils Rejects, and as I read the synopsis, I was going, "how is this a zombie movie?" Glad I got mixed up if it's really as bad as you say.

From my experience your dog will be extremely sleepy and tired, prob look very sad and wont be very playful .. But only for a few days.. 2 -3 days max.

Just allow plenty of sleep and space for it, and a comfy resting area.

It will prob have a lamp shade thingy around the head but make sure you leave it on, if you take it off your dog will pull out the stitches.

EDIT: don't allow him to be jumping down any stairs or any other jumps, his stitches could rip, the vet will advise all this.

Thats great, thanks for this. The jumping this was a bit of a concern especially because he loves the stairs so we figured the easiest thing to do was get a baby gate and then we can take it off when he is feeling back to normal.

Seen a video of Pedro scoring "tap in's" from all angels, heights, directions, both feet, head, chest etc. No idea where I seen it but it was some body crossing the ball into him on the edge of the area and he as beating the keeper with almost every chance. Some audacious flicks, and just been very clinical the majority of the time. We've missed that at time's this year. Anyone who says other wise needs to go take a look at our biggest wins in recent years. Pedro was essential in every single one of them. His goal against United last May came at 0-0 and gave Barca the edge for the rest of the game

I remember reading before that Pep said that Pedro was the second best finisher in the squad and just behind Messi in that regard.

Barca really missed Pedro and Villa this season. Last season both of them scored 20+ goals each, take that out of any team and it would be a massive set back.

I think Villas absence has been noticed the most though. The left side of Barcas attack has been pretty much none existant since Villa got injured. He is one of the best strikers in the world and even seeing his name on the team sheet would give opposition defenders nerves. He is such a threat and even when off form there is still a good chance he could get one chance and bury it or cut in between 2/3 players and pass off to a teammate for a goal. His absence put more pressure on Messi and the other attackers as defenders did'nt have the threat of Villa coming from the left to deal with.

Maybe if you highlighted your reservations about the language to the department of education they'll reassess the policy of teaching Irish as a compulsory subject. I'm sure they've never heard it before

You're not going to get special treatment. If you're not happy with the Irish education structure, do as previous posters have said, and send your child to a school abroad.

As for German. I've yet to meet a German that doesn't speak English, and in many respects German is a language in decline. Using your logic about Irish, why bother learning to speak German when we can communicate perfectly well with them in English? If you really want your child to speak a "useful" language, send them to mandarin Chinese classes.

Carmina Burana
The Culwick Choral Society
National Concert Hall
Sunday, May 20, 8pm

Earthy tales of life, love, and lust – the Culwick presents Carl Orff’s immensely popular Carmina Burana – 130 voices singing words written centuries ago but still sounding fresh, spicy and real today in Orff's percussive and energetic setting.

The soloists are the outstanding Irish soprano Cara O'Sullivan with baritone Owen Gilhooley -- “scene-stealing” (Irish Times) as Papageno in OTC’s recent Magic Flute) --and rising young tenor Brian Gilligan. The part for children’s choir is sung by the multi-award-winning St. Brigid’s NS Choir from Castleknock under conductor Niamh Williams.

The concert begins with Bartók’s enchanting Hungarian Pictures, a suite of delightful and humorous snapshots of Hungarian peasant life. This is followed by Kodály’s Missa Brevis, a masterpiece which he completed while in hiding from German forces in the cellars of the Budapest Opera House in 1944. For this the choir is joined by alto Chloe Hinton and organist David Leigh.

claralara best of luck with your sub 20. I just started running this year and so far have only done the op trans 5k run in the park. I done this in 32.5 mins and as I said have not done any race since. I use imap my run and have done 28.3 as my best so far. What I am wondering is would this event suit a novice like me and is it still open.

I have really started to listen to my body this year as I was sill last year. I did all my LSR last year at 8 min pace and it f;d me up ;/

Ya i get what you're saying. It would be great if you could have a pace that suited everybody but this is never gonna happen. I mean for me the pace is too fast for others its probably too slow in the group but again id prefer to enjoy it and get it wrong than get it right and end up a bit cracked and talking to myself like I was at the end of my LSRs for dublin. How did it f you up? My thinking is that if i can be consistant at the tuesday speed session then I am ok.

If so there is a company in Louth (Ardee) that do timber frame products.... one of which are exempt development (under 40m2) extensions.
Kcoon i believe they are called. I know you said cork but theses extensions are built offsite and delivered to your door so to speak.

I saw this thread on the main page as I know none of you will recognise me - I never posted here before

How much are you talking for a full set of cranks? Any repair is possible, it just depends on how much you want to spend.

Plastic metal/isopon and file to shape plus rethreading (don't think this will work as the layer will be too small)
Use a helecoil to re-make the thread. Heli-coil home page(Google helecoil for more info, that was just one I picked) other example
Get someone to make an insert - either push/press fit one ( it's the seventh or eighth picture down) or a threaded insert

THe third option would be best. If your wary of push fitting something as small as this think of getting the threaded insert - all you have to do is drill the existing hole wider, tap it to the new size needed for the insert and use a very strong thread lock fluid on the OUTSIDE thread - where it touches the crank.
