Everybody Hates the Part-Time Job
Everybody Hates the Part-Time Job was the twelfth episode of Everbody Hates Chris. It premired on January 19,2006. It was written by Aaron Abrams & Gregory Thompson and directed by Tamra Davis.

SHORT SUMMARY: When Chris needs $50 to buy a leather jacket to look cool, Julius suggests he comes to work delivering papers with him. Meanwhile, after their school is closed to be re-painted, Drew and Tonya engage in a game of "dares" which ends in tears when Tonya is taken to the emergency room after being dared to drink a "hot-sauce shake."

Chris: [to Julius] I was hoping you could give me an allowance?
[Everyone suddenly looks at him in shock, especially Julius]
Narrator: I know it sounded like an innocent enough question, but here's what he he heard:
Chris: Since you work like a slave all day, and don't have any time to enjoy your own money, can I have it? [Draws same response as before]

Julius: I'm not givin' you money for walkin' around doin' nothin'. An allowance? I allow you to sleep here at night. I allow you to eat them potatoes. I allow you to use my lights. I allow you to drink my Kool-Aid. I allow you to nibble on them green beans. I allow you to look at that TV. I allow you to run up my gas bill. I allow you to walk up my stairs. I allow you to ask me these ridiculous-ass questions. Why should I give you an allowance when I already paid for everything you do? Who you know that gets an allowance? Huh?

One for my own baby!

After all the sewing I've been doing potentially (hopefully) for other peoples' babies, it feels almost strange to be making one of my designs for Isabella! She has a warm furry winter coat, but with a glorious spring upon us she needed something a little less toasty. I have tried my first version of this one on her and it fit her nicely, so here we go. I shortened it to jacket length rather than coat length, but otherwise it's the same as last time, seen here.

(That's her hand in the bottom of the picture. Like Nicholas she likes to know what is going on at all times).

The fabric is a lovely soft cotton denim I was given a few years ago, which is probably rather old. It's thick and has a brushed back so it's very soft. The applique is done in exactly the same way as this one. (Clicking on the pic will make it bigger and clearer). Lining is "dancetime" satin from Spotlight. Left over from something else, so I have so far spent about $6 on this jacket - for buttons and topstitching thread. I still have quite a chunk of the denim left too!

It is getting harder and harder to sew with them around, so the hem and buttons will have to wait till today's naptime.

  1. That does look cute. Would a pair of jeans/or dress from the same denim look too matchy-matchy? I think jeans in the darker applique pink would look cool. :)

  2. That's gorgeous! Oh for a little girl to sew for...there's only so much excitement I can muster up for yet another pair of cargo pants for the boys ;-)

    I love the sleeve/yoke detail in particular.

  3. So pretty - like Jen, I could almost muster sewing for someone else if it was a little girl and you got too be toooo cute with it.

Box office: 'Breaking Dawn' tops record Thanksgiving weekend

Posted on

Bd2 Box Office
Andrew Cooper

Hollywood has reason to give thanks this year. Boosted by a trio of new releases and a veritable cornucopia of well-performing holdovers, the Thanksgiving box office reached an all-time high this year. Theaters sold an estimated $295 million worth of tickets in five days, outdoing the Thanksgiving record of $273 million set in 2009.

As expected, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 led the way with $43.1 million over the regular weekend frame (a 70 percent drop from its $141.1 million debut), and a huge $64.0 million over the Wednesday-to-Sunday period. After ten days, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has earned $227.0 million — slightly more than the $220.8 million that Breaking Dawn – Part 1 had earned at the same point in its run, but slightly behind New Moon‘s $230.9 million take at the 10-day mark. Internationally, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has already earned $350.8 million, which brings its worldwide total to $577.7 million. Like its predecessor, the $120 million Summit production should finish just below $300 million domestically and between $700 and $800 million worldwide when all is said and done.

Skyfall held in second place, dropping just 12 percent to $36.0 million in its third weekend. Over the five-day period, Skyfall managed an astounding $51.1 million, and it now boasts a domestic total of $221.7 million. Mind you, no other Bond film has ever crossed the $200 million threshold domestically (not adjusting for inflation). The previous high-point for the Bond franchise was 2008’s Quantum of Solace, which grossed $168.4 million, so it’s safe to say that Sony’s $200 million action tentpole is performing remarkably. In fact, the film should blaze past the $250 million mark in the next few weeks. Overseas, the story is even better. Thanks to another $41.3 million this weekend, the film’s international total now sits at $494 million, and its worldwide cume stands at $790.1 million. Could Skyfall become the first billion-dollar-Bond? That seems unlikely, but a finish above $900 million appears well within reach.

The best hold of the weekend belongs to Disney’s $65 million Oscar contender Lincoln, which actually increased 19 percent over the three-day weekend to $25 million and took in a whopping $34.1 million over the five-day Thanksgiving frame.The Steven Spielberg-directed drama did boost its theater count from 1,775 to 2,018 this weekend, but that can’t completely account for the major box office bump — only glowing word-of-mouth can create that sort of groundswell. After 10 days, Lincoln has emancipated $62.2 million worth of tickets from moviegoers, and it’s set to easily become the 15th $100 million-plus earner in Spielberg’s storied career.

In fourth place, Rise of the Guardians badly missed expectations, with $24.0 million in its first three days and $32.4 million over five. DreamWorks Animation’s $145 million film (distributed by Paramount), which united Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Jack Frost became the studio’s worst animated opening since 2006’s Flushed Away, a collaboration with Aardman Animation. Supporters of the 3-D film have already pointed out that Guardians opened in the same range as 2004’s The Polar Express, which began with a soft $23.3 million but chugged along as it neared Christmas and eventually found $162.8 million. Still, Polar Express opened two weekends before Thanksgiving, not on the lucrative weekend. Rise of the Guardians, out in 3,653 theaters, was poised for a much better debut, yet it earned less in five days than recent DreamWorks Animation tales like Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted ($60.3 million debut) and Puss in Boots ($34.1 million) earned in three. Paramount will no doubt hope that the film’s “A” CinemaScore grade will lead to strong word-of-mouth in coming weeks.

While Guardians finished below expectations, the week’s two other new releases, Life of Pi and Red Dawn, both finished at the high end of pre-release projections.

In fifth, Fox’s Life of Pi sailed away with $22.0 million over the three-day weekend and a solid $30.2 over the five-day frame. Considering the $120 million Fox film was expected to earn just over $20 million during the Wednesday-to-Sunday period, this is pretty much a best-case-scenario. (And the sudden gust of Oscar buzz doesn’t hurt, either.) The well-reviewed Ang Lee tale started off bigger than last year’s Thanksgiving release Hugo — another artistic, big-budget 3-D fantasy-drama that was based on a popular book and geared toward families. Hugo earned a soft $15.4 million in its five-day debut, albeit from 1,277 theaters (as opposed to Life of Pi‘s 2,902 locations), on the way to $73.9 million total. Fox is counting on word-of-mouth (Life of Pi earned an “A-” CinemaScore) to carry the expensive aquatic tale much further. According to exit surveys, 69 percent of audience members listed “subject matter” as their top reason for seeing the film, which either means that Hollywood has long underestimated America’s desire for films about tigers on boats, or (more likely) that much of the opening weekend audience was familiar with the source novel.

Wreck-It Ralph dropped only 10 percent against Rise of the Guardians, down to $16.8 million ($23.0 million over five days), which brings its total to $149.5 million after four weekends. Disney’s $165 million family film could finish its run close to $200 million.

One spot further down was Red Dawn, which managed to do rather well for itself despite a troubled history. The remake took in $14.6 million over the traditional weekend and $22.0 million over the Wednesday-to-Sunday period. Distributor FilmDistrict was expecting a five-day opening in the teens. Red Dawn was shot in 2009 for about $70 million by MGM, but following the studio’s much-publicized financial woes, it got shelved indefinitely. After an edit that saw the Chinese villains of the film digitally altered into North Koreans, FilmDistrict picked up distribution rights (for an undisclosed price) and set the release date. Audiences, who gave the film a tepid “B” CinemaScore grade, were 62 percent male and very diverse in age, which suggests that while some patrons bought tickets because of their attachment to the original thriller, other crowds were lured in by new A-list stars Chris Hemsworth (a.k.a. Thor) and Josh Hutcherson (a.k.a. Peeta) — 44 percent of polled moviegoers listed “Actor in a lead role” as their reason for attending the film. FilmDistrict says that the film played best in the South, especially in Texas and surrounding states.

1. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 – $43.1 million ($64.0 million in five days)

2. Skyfall – $36.0 million ($51.1 million)

3. Lincoln – $25.0 million ($34.1 million)

4. Rise of the Guardians – $24.0 million ($32.6 million)

5. Life of Pi – $22.0 million ($30.2 million)

6. Wreck-It Ralph – $16.8 million ($23.0 million)

7. Red Dawn – $14.6 million ($22.0 million)

In limited release, Silver Linings Playbook demonstrated legitimate box office vitality in 367 theaters. The film, which opened last weekend with an alright $443,000 from 16 theaters (resulting in a $27,688 per theater average), grossed $4.3 million over the three-day period, and, significantly, maintained a sturdy $12,597 average, which merits further expansions in the weeks to come. Playbook took in $5.9 million over the five day frame and has now grossed $6.5 million total. It appears that positive word-of-mouth and awards season buzz is already working in the film’s favor.

Anna Karenina isn’t getting quite the same boost, but it’s expanding much more slowly. The film expanded from 16 theaters into 66 locations and grossed $832,00 over three days ($1.1 million over five), which gave it a $12,606 average. The fact that Silver Linings Playbook earned a similar average in over five times as many theaters is a testament to that film’s growing prospects. (Even more impressive, though, is the fact that Lincoln maintained a $12,398 average in 2,018 theaters.) Anna Karenina has earned $1.5 million total.

Two other notable openings: Fox Searchlight’s Hitchcock debuted in 17 theaters and earned $301,000, giving it a lukewarm $17,706 average. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Classics’ Marion Cotillard vehicle Rust & Bone found just $30,200 from two theaters for a $15,100 average. Both will need to post substantially better numbers in future weeks if they hope to become more than low-grossing awards season fare.

Three Tech Trends to Watch

Meeting Planners BannerThis guest blog post is from Tallen Technology Rentals. Join Tallen’s CEO Andy Taffin as he moderates a panel discussion titled “INNOVATIVE TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES: Advancing Meetings, Engaging Participants and Optimizing Education Through Innovative Tools and Technologies,” on Day Two of the conference, Thursday, November 5, 2015, from 9:00 to 9:45 am.

It’s an exciting time to be a meeting planner in the life sciences industry. New technologies continue to drive the roles and responsibilities of event and meeting pros into a state of continuous evolution. Meeting and event stakeholders are ever-demanding new ways to explore, discover and interact with all different types of technologies; meeting professionals are tasked with selecting and deploying the latest and greatest innovative technologies that ensure smooth content delivery, drive attendee engagement and capture insight.

We as an industry, especially in the AV community, are always looking for interesting and unexpected trends that present different perspectives or fresh approaches to old problems. With that in mind, here is a brief look at some of the more interesting recent concepts.

Advanced Recording and Visual Identification Technology

Most everyone who has participated in an Advisory Board meeting (and subsequently listened to and viewed the recording) has, at some point, experienced difficulty discerning exactly who was talking. Tallen has recently patented an innovative recording identification program that allows other attendees to visually identify who is speaking even when they are not in the room, changing the way Advisory Boards are heard and seen. This eliminates the need for moderation and simplifies the transcription process. Even while watching a video of the meeting, the different voices and camera angles can make it unclear exactly who was speaking and when. The technology works by using metadata and decibel recognition to completely eliminate the guesswork and identify each person who is speaking by lighting up the person’s name at the time they are speaking. This technology is providing new depth to the research process and adding value to many existing virtual web meeting platforms by allowing virtual attendees to interact as if they were in the room in a much more robust and clear manner than had been previously available.

Events where groups of life sciences professionals convene to learn are turning out to be great opportunities for gamification. This is one trend that is actually making life sciences industry meetings more fun for attendees, which is why we think gamification is an especially important trend to watch. Described as “using game mechanics and design for non-gaming purposes,” gamification is another way in which technology is impacting the life sciences meeting industry by giving meeting planners a way to increase engagement and capture data and information by adding fun competitions to education and networking. Recent advances in mobile device technology and faster and more dependable on-premise web access are the main drivers for the gamification of meetings and events, which leads in to the next tech trend….

Mobile Event Apps Achieve Ubiquity

Around the 2012 timeframe, many industry experts and consultants were focused on mobile event apps that performed all kinds of services aimed at all sorts of different players at events of all types and sizes. Before 2012, mobile apps were seen as not much more than a digital version of the event agenda. Since 2012, apps have become ubiquitous in the life sciences meeting industry, though (for several disparate reasons) it actually took until 2014 to cross the chasm from what one professional corporate meetings planner described as “the technologies meeting planners believe should be incorporated into an event” to “the solutions attendees expect to be part of their meeting experience.” The real impact that mobile event apps have stems from their ability to facilitate engagement and content distribution between attendees, speakers and organizers and help attendees document ideas as they appear (such as on the back of a napkin or on a whiteboard) in a spontaneous and intuitive manner.

We listed these trends based on our day-to-day observations and from feedback we’ve solicited from our many clients in the meetings industry, and we would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section.

Please join us as we sponsor ExL Pharma’s 11th Annual Pharmaceutical Meeting Professionals’ Summit, taking place November 4-5, 2015 at the Hyatt at the Bellevue in Philadelphia, PA. You can visit the online registration page or call (866) 207-6528 to reserve your seat.

A better week for my weight loss, a not so good week for sick little ones

It’s Friday!

Is anyone superstitious?  Don’t check the date! As the only ones with very little kiddos, we’re missing out on a great weekend at the cabin with 13 (bum bum bum…) family members.

We did have a fantastic time up there last weekend.  My eating was horrible.  That place is full of sweets, treats, and amazing meals.  We did, however stay pretty active.

Taking Care of YOU {5 ways to show some self-love after the holidays}

Whew! The holidays are over and the New Year is beginning!

Does anyone else feel like they just ran a marathon?

I feel like we’ve been running a race since Halloween! We left for Florida the first week of November, I attending a conference in Orlando, we spent a couple weeks helping out my grandparents with a remodel in another part of Florida, returned home on Thanksgiving Day, started the whirlwind of Christmas prep and shopping, had Kohls grant my wellness wish (details coming this week, I promise!) and film the family, hosted Christmas with my husband’s family, and completed all the Christmas festivities with my family and ended with a weekend at the cabin.

Wow! Now wonder!

I do have to give myself a bit of a pat on the back, though. After the craziness of November and the first week or two of December, I did finally remember to take care of myself around Christmas and this past weekend. Here are some things that helped me survive and some that I would like to continue to remember in the New Year.

2007 Gardening Resolutions

Winter is a good time to think about “new gardening year resolutions,” said a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator.

“Every gardener has thoughts of doing something different or adding new plants to next year’s garden. So, to start things off, how about a resolution to add roses to your 2007 season garden?” said Greg Stack.

“Breeders have done dramatic things with roses. They have improved their hardiness, improved their disease resistance to black spot and mildew, and have made them very ‘gardener-friendly’ plants by reducing the level of maintenance required to keep them good looking. Many of today’s roses are also easy to incorporate into existing perennial and shrub borders.”

Stack offered some roses to consider adding to your 2007 garden. All can be found in mail order catalogues and local garden centers.

“Let’s start off with tree roses,” he said. “If you like tree roses, but don’t like what you have to do to keep them from being killed over the winter, take a look at ‘Polar Joy’. This tree rose is hardy to zone 4 without winter protection. It grows four to eight feet tall and is covered with single, two-inch pink blooms.

“It also has excellent disease resistance to black spot and mildew. Finally, it is a hardy tree rose for the gardener who up to now has tried to grow them but lost to ‘old man winter.’”

While yellow is a favorite rose color, there are not many good yellows. Stack offered several, however, that stand out for their color, hardiness, and disease resistance.

‘Centennial’ is a grandiflora with clusters of high-centered blooms on long stems. The three-inch flowers fade from pale yellow to creamy white. Its re-blooming abilities make it a valuable addition to the mixed border.

‘Yellow Submarine’ is another yellow rose with three-inch blooms. This shrub rose grows to three feet tall and is excellent planted in groups. With the color of butter, the ‘Julia Child’ rose is a plant with old-fashioned looks and fragrance. This floribunda has a round habit, a strong, licorice-spice fragrance, and excellent hardiness and disease resistance.

Another bright-yellow floribunda, ‘Sun Flare’, forms a low-mounded plant. Blooms are carried in large clusters and have a licorice scent. This rose is great for working into a mixed border.

“How about putting some mischief into the garden?” said Stack. “’Little Mischief’ is a shrub rose that grows to three feet tall with a mounding habit and has excellent disease resistance. It has large clusters of deep pink blooms with white centers. This rose starts blooming in early summer and is never without flowers until a hard freeze. It is great for the mixed border or in containers.

“Another comparable rose but with rice red blooms is ‘Mystic Fairy’. Because this rose does not set ‘hips’ or seed pods, it just continues to bloom and offer color all summer. This is another great plant for the mixed border.”

If fragrance is what you want, Stack recommended ‘Kiss Me’.

“This grandiflora has large, fully-double pink blooms on stems suitable for cutting,” he said. “Blooming all summer, it has a very heavy rose scent. This rose is also very disease-resistant.”

‘Sunrise Sunset’ is a stunning blend of fuchsia pink petals blending to apricot toward the center. This shrub rose has a dense spreading habit that makes it an ideal groundcover-type rose.

To top off your list, consider the 2007 Floribunda of the Year, ‘Moondance’,” he said. “This tall--up to four-foot--floribunda produces large clusters of cream-white blooms with a fragrance like raspberries. It has excellent garden performance and can be used in the perennial border or even as a hedge.”

Classic hybrid tea roses are always popular in the garden but often have issues with disease and hardiness. With the introduction of ‘Love and Peace’, those fears are no longer an issue, Stack said.

“This hybrid tea grows to four feet tall and about three feet wide,” he said. “The high-centered blooms of golden-yellow, edged with carmine pink, produce a sweet fruity scent. This tough hybrid tea has glossy, dark-green foliage highly tolerant of black spot.”

These are a few of the “stars” appearing on the rose scene, Stack said.

“And because they are the result of years of work by breeders incorporating superior disease-resistance and hardiness, they won’t disappoint you and do belong on your list of gardening resolutions,” he said.

Connect to the Web from Excel

Did you know that you can connect to the web from Excel? This can vastly improve your life at times, and not do much at all other times. Depending on how easily identifiable the information is, sometimes Excel can handle the challenge while other times it can not. To use this nifty little feature, go to "Data | Import External Data | New Web Query...". Under the import external data menu item, you could also choose to import text files or connect to a database and grab data from there. For this post, we'll stick to the web.

You might wonder, "Why do I need this feature in Excel?". As of now, it's not tremendously useful in my opinion because most web sites are designed for your viewing pleasure - not for data transfer. This is, however, changing rapidly with the growing use of XML (take, for instance, the XBRL initiative sponsored by powerhouses such as PwC and Deloitte). Therefore, it will eventually become very useful I'm sure. As one example of where you might use this technology, let's assume that you keep track of your portfolio in Excel. You're looking to download stock prices for certain tickers every month, so you want to create a macro to do it for you. Don't know about macros? Read here. Now that we have that covered, lets try to create our macro.

To start, we'll begin by simply examining the Yahoo! finance site, which is the easiest site to accomplish this task (as far as I know). Instead of using your browser, however, we'll use Excel. Go to "Data | Import External Data | New Web Query". From here, type in http://finance.yahoo.com and navigate to the input box asking you for a ticker symbol. Enter whatever symbol you like (perhaps PNC) and hit enter. From here, you'll have to click on the link on the left hand side of the page for "Historical Prices" and you can change the dates as you see fit. Excel will then open up the page with the quotes, which you can click on the yellow arrow to tell Excel that you want to download that table. Viola! Excel will import the table for you and you can change and / or manipulate the data! You can repeat this procedure for any website where you typically download information. To automate the task, simply record a macro before you do it and it will be available for next month. If you get clever, you can manipulate the VBA code and get the dates to change to whatever you want as well. For a primer on VBA, check out this post.

Anyway, you can use the previous procedure to create some very sophisticated macros. Alternatively, I've created an Excel add-in to download prices for you that you can get here. Try it out - if it doesn't work, write me an email or post a comment and I'll be sure to try and fix it. It was started by creating a macro as recommended in the previous paragraph, and then some heavy lifting was done to make it more flexible and user friendly. To use the add-in, download the file and save it somewhere on your computer. From Excel, go to "Tools | Add ins..." and click "Browse" ... then navigate to wherever you saved the file, click on it and hit "OK". Now you'll have to get a little creative - if you want the tool available whenever you want, right-click on a toolbar and click "Customize". Scroll down to the "Macros" section on the "Commands" tab and drag the custom button to some toolbar (whatever one you want). It should be a smiley face. Once it's placed on the toolbar, right click on the smiley face and click "Assign Macro". The macro name is "Show_Yahoo_Form" and hit enter. Close all dialog boxes, and then you can click on that button whenever you want to download stock prices! If you only want to try it out once, instead of adding a toolbar button just hit Alt-F8 and type "Show_Yahoo_Form" and the form will pop up. Good luck!

  • Great job on your Yahoo! Finance VBA code Kevin! I have been looking for something to do this for a while. The ones I saw online cost $50 - $100 so it saved me a lot of $$$ too!

Hundreds of our patients are sharing their experience with our office, read what they are saying about us!

TIT How We Help You

It is with great pleasure we welcome you to our specialty eye care home. Eye Health Consultants provides patients with premium eye care and management of eye conditions such as glaucoma, anterior segment eye disease, pink eye treatment and
dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, non-surgical vision correction (Ortho-k / Corneal Molding), binocular vision disorders and optical services for glasses and contact lenses. Our professional team delivers outstanding, caring and personalized eye care.

We focus on personalized eye health solutions and eye education. Dr. Arroyo and his professional eye care team strives to ensure the patient's full comprehension of the ocular findings with the assistance of state of the art 3-D animated eye software and digital microscopy imaging. This technology is useful to show you the causes of dry eyes, refractive conditions, glaucoma and other diseases of the optic nerve, eye treatment options, specific procedures in eye surgery and more.

Dr. Arroyo specializes in Wave Corneal Molding, an advanced modality of Orthokeratology. It is also known as Vision Shaping Treatment, Corneal Refractive Therapy, Corneal Molding, Non-surgical Vision Correction and Accelerated Ortho-K. Ortho-K is not new, but the results and the effectiveness of myopia eye treatment, as well as hyperopia and astigmatism, have never been better. Corneal Molding is a revolutionary technology that allows the right candidate to free themselves from daytime glasses or contacts. For more information, click on the Non-Surgical Vision Correction tab.

Dr. Arroyo has lectured and trained American doctors and eye care specialists from other countries in related subjects such as hyperopic and multifocal corneal molding, a modality that allows patients to see and read free of glasses or day-time contacts.

Our organization is at the leading edge on diagnostic eye tecnology. We are also leaders in the number of new Non-Surgical Corneal Molding patients. We proudly serve many new patients that choose this vision correction modality every month.

We believe that it is more important to treat the person who has the disease than the disease that the person has. We work with our patients in a very personalized way, we believe in a patient-centered health care model, rather than a disease-centered one.

Dr. Arroyo has a special interest in clinical nutrition and integrative medicine, applied to common acute and chronic eye conditions and ailments. You may expect a custom, individualized approach to your eye problem. Dr. Arroyo has designed personalized protocols that involve complementary medical alternatives. The objective is to identify the cause of disease and provide the body with natural elements that will assist it in correcting itself. Epigenetics, clinical nutrition and the new healthcare paradigm of the XXI century, bioenergetics and information medicine are now used with remarkable success.

             Retina Program

The retina contains two types of receptors. Rods are designed to assist in locating moving objects and vision in low-light conditions. Cones are designed to detect color and fine detail.

Thus it is our cones that allow us to read and see colors. The cones are concentrated in the center of the retina where the light focuses. This is called the macula. The macula is the most sensitive part of the retina that allows the human eye to see images sharp.

2007. Oh What A Year It Was

Composed by – MELINA SCARFO

Can you believe that 2007 was six years ago? The first iPhone was announced, Britney Spears had a meltdown, and much to the fans delight (and dismay), the last installment of Harry Potter, was released. R&B and pop-punk were the flavours of the month with Rihanna, Fall Out Boy and Justin Timberlake all releasing new music. So what were the highlights of 2007? Read on to find out!

“Umbrella” was the lead single from Rihanna’s third album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ and has since been covered by various notable musicians. It was originally written for Britney Spears but her label rejected it and Rihanna went on to make it the hottest song of 2007. I can guarantee you that after only one listen you’ll have that addictive hook stuck in your head for days; “Umbrella-ella-ella -eh-eh”.

The YouTube ID of sAebYQgy4n4?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“Makes Me Wonder” – Maroon 5

Oh Adam Levine, how we love you, especially when you’re strutting around in a suit. “Makes Me Wonder” is the first single from Maroon 5’s second album ‘It Won’t Be Soon Before Long’. The band’s first number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart captures everything a good pop rock song should be with its funky guitar riffs and catchy melodies.

The YouTube ID of Qf9S4N3jJNE?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“Light Up The Sky”- Yellowcard

American pop punk band Yellowcard are still going strong since their formation in 1997. What could be just another average band, Yellowcard manage to bring something fresh to the genre with the addition of a violin. “Light Up The Sky” is an uplifting and heartfelt track which intertwines beautiful melodies and punchy guitars.

The YouTube ID of aCyGvGEtOwc?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“Misery Business” – Paramore

Manipulation, popularity and boys; what’s not to love about this pop punk number? Hayley Williams delivers a fierce and honest vocal performance on the fast paced track. As all Paramore fans would know “Misery Business” has become a tradition at the band’s live shows asWilliams pulls a fan on stage during the bridge to belt out the rest of the song. I’m still waiting for my turn Hayley!

The YouTube ID of ma9I9VBKPiw?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“Fluorescent Adolescent” – Arctic Monkeys

While it may not have been a chart topper,“Florescent Adolescent” is one of the Arctic Monkeys’ most popular songs. Taken from their second album ‘Favourite Worst Nightmares’,Alex Turner’s lyrics are as witty and risqué ever. “You used to get it in your fishnets, now you only get it in your nightdress”, hmmm whatever could you be referring to Alex?

The YouTube ID of IC8qPpnD0uE?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“What Goes Around…Comes Around” – Justin Timberlake

Don’t deny it, everyone loves Justin Timberlake. We’re ecstatic that he has announced an Australian tour for 2014, so in the meantime lets return to ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’. “What Goes Around…Comes Around” was considered to be a sequel to “Cry Me A River” by music critics and fans. Timberlake shows off his falsetto in this powerful ballad about betrayal and forgiveness.

The YouTube ID of k6EQAOmJrbw?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“Teenagers” – My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romancewas one of the most influential bands of the last decade and they just recently called it quits after 12 years. Their iconic song “Teenagers” deals with some tough issues such as gun violence. Gerard Way says, “It’s about a really big problem in America where kids are killing kids. The only thing I learned in high school is that people are very violent and territorial”, heavy stuff indeed.

The YouTube ID of 2EwViQxSJJQ?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“Irreplaceable” -Beyoncé

“Irreplaceable”, taken from Beyoncé’s second album ‘B’Day’, was the best-selling US single of 2007. Ne-Yo originally wrote the song as a country track but when presented to Beyoncé was changed to an R&B pop ballad. Praised for its catchy hook, “To the left, to the left”, and Beyoncé’s honest delivery, it has become an anthem of female empowerment.

The YouTube ID of SBjQ9tuuTJQ?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“The Pretender” – Foo Fighters

In 2007 Foo Fighters released one of the most successful rock anthems of all time, “The Pretender”. David Grohl described “The Pretender” as “a stomping Foo Fighters up-tempo song, with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it”. The song starts with a mellow guitar intro before the drums and heavy guitars kick in to create that classic Foo Fighters sound.

The YouTube ID of GNm5drtAQXs?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.

“This Ain’t A Scene, It’s Arms Race” – Fall Out Boy

What better time to revisit some classic Fall Out Boy than now. Incorporating elements of funk and soul, Patrick “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s an Arms Race” sees the band experimenting with different musical styles. Lyrically the song explores the band’s new found popularity in their typical tongue in cheek way, “I am an arms dealer, fitting you with weapons in the form of words”. Somehow Fall Out Boy just never gets old!

If it could talk, what would your Bible say about you?

I like what James McDonald tells us to do. Go grab your Bible...
Why grab hold? Cuz the Word of God is so compelling!

The Word will capture your mind, your imagination, and your heart. It's God-breathed and infallible. I even believe the maps inside--that's the attitude we should have. The Word heals marriages, heals bodies, restores families, and even sets the worst criminals free.. if they allow this. Man, you can trust this love letter, this fishing-manual of sorts. The Bible was written ..not to you, but for you and it has both internal and external evidence. God see and ask what did the Lord mean to the people in that culture back in the day? What is the transferable truth that I can apply in my life here today?

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17
"And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:17
"And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness." Acts 4:31
"For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe." 1 Thessalonians 2:13

The Message of the Bible is: There's abundant and eternal life in Christ because of the Cross. He's for you, and He's alive to make sure of this! Jesus the living Word--He is the truth of God that frees people. He's the hero of the Bible, which is the written Word. The Word is practical, personal.. "Living and active.." It can straighten us out and up. Prayerfully read through 2 Timothy 3!

My favorite Raymond Chen quote

This is my favorite Raymond Chen quote, and I’m putting it here so I can find it faster in the future:

Good advice comes with a rationale so you can tell when it becomes bad advice. If you don’t understanding why something should be done, then you’ve fallen into the trap of cargo cult programming, and you’ll keep doing it even when it’s no longer necessary or even becomes deleterious.

  1. Describe the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and sequelae of Parkinson's disease.

  2. Identify and describe the examination procedures used to evaluate patients with Parkinson's disease to establish a diagnosis, prognosis, and plan of care.

  3. Describe the role of the physical therapist in assisting a patient with Parkinson's disease in terms of direct interventions and patient and family/caregiver-related instruction to maximize function.

  4. Describe appropriate elements of the exercise prescription for patients with Parkinson's disease.

  5. Identify the neuropsychological effects and social impact of Parkinson's disease and describe appropriate interventions to maximize quality of life.

  6. Analyze and interpret patient data, formulate realistic goals and outcomes, and develop a plan of care when presented with a clinical case study.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) with both motor and nonmotor symptoms. Motor symptoms include the cardinal features of rigidity, bradykinesia, tremor, and, in later stages, postural instability. Non-motor symptoms may precede the onset of motor symptoms by years. Early symptoms can include loss of sense of smell, constipation, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, mood disorders, and orthostatic hypotension. Other nonmotor symptoms include altered bladder function, excessive saliva, integumentary changes, difficulty speaking and swallowing, and cognitive problems (slowed thinking, confusion, and in some cases dementia). Onset is insidious with a slow rate of progression. Disruptions in daily functions, roles, and activities, as well as depression, are common in individuals with PD.

PD is a common disease that affects an estimated 1 million Americans and an estimated 7 to 10 million people worldwide. More than 2% of people older than 65 years of age have PD, second only to Alzheimer's disease among neurodegenerative disorders. The prevalence of the disease is expected to increase substantially in the coming years due to the aging of the population. The average age of onset is 50 to 60 years. Only 4% to 10% of patients are diagnosed with early-onset PD (less than 40 years of age). Young-onset PD is classified as beginning between 21 and 40 years of age, and juvenile-onset PD affects individuals less than 21 years of age. Men are affected 1.2 to 1.5 times more frequently than women.1,2

The term parkinsonism is a generic term used to describe a group of disorders with primary disturbances in the dopamine systems of basal ganglia (BG). Both genetic and environmental influences have been identified. Parkinson's disease, or idiopathic parkinsonism, is the most common form, affecting approximately 78% of patients. Secondary parkinsonism results from a number of different identifiable causes, including viruses, toxins, drugs, tumors, and so forth (Box 18.1). The term parkinsonism-plus syndromes refers to those conditions that mimic PD in some respects, but the symptoms are caused by other neurodegenerative disorders.3

Spooky, Scary?

Heeeeeeyyy!  How's it goin'?  Do you hate me for being gone for so long??  :(  It's not my fault, I promise!  There just aren't enough hours in the day lol.  Between work, wedding planning, apartment hunting and shopping for things to fill our eventually-new-place... I'm pooped!  But I have missed you all lots and lots :)  On to nail art?

My mani for today was not inspired by anything.  Zip, zilch, nada.  I couldn't sleep Friday night because I was dumb and drank far too much coffee around 6 o'clock in the evening haha.  So I got up and started getting creative.  I knew that I wanted to use one of my new metallic polishes by JBL (which I got in a nail haul that I plan on sharing with you at some point this week).  I also wanted use my stripers from Sinful Colors.  Here's the end result...

 Colors Used: JLB - Purple Rain, Sinful Colors Nail Art - Time Off (black) and Bad Chick (white), Sally Hansen - Mellow Yellow

I've been told that they look like trees/branches, a forest at night with fireflies/stars, lightening, Tim Burton inspired, etc.  I have to say that I agree with all of these statements hahaha.  I really just went to town hoping they would turn out alright.  I am quite fond of them :)  (side note... this mani is still on my nails... I'm pretty sure this is the longest I've ever kept a mani on!)

JBL Purple Rain, spooky, tree branches, forest, stars, night, scary, nail art, nail design, mani

Plans for the near and no-so-near future:
  • A polish haul ;)
  • A giveaway for my 100th post! (This is post #79 :P)
  • A vote/poll on which mani you would like to see a tutorial of (this will be in it's own post)
Alrighty chicas and/or chicos, that's it for now :)

Until next time!

Stef <3

Poetry at Work: The Poetry of Institutional Memory

I’m talking with a colleague at work about his retirement. We’re going through one of those endless series of departmental reorganizations, and he’s announced his intention to retire some months from now. I’m interested in the mechanics of his decision; he’s less than three years older than I am and once he retires, I will be what’s left of institutional memory not only for our organization, but perhaps even for the entire corporation of 23,000 people.

“I talked with people who’ve retired from the company,” he says. “And while there are the financial things you should have been doing all along, and there are things you might want to do after retirement, what they tell me is pretty simple. You can’t really anticipate it until you’re in it. No one effectively plans for retirement; there will always be little surprises, and likely some big ones to. You really are entering another phase of your life, and life can’t really be planned for.”

I’m reminded of something I just read at Donald Miller’s Storyline blog. “Knowledge over an issue gives us the false sense we can predict it and understand it and in some ways control it,” he writes. My colleague is telling me the same is true for retirement.

This is not idle question for me to while away the hours considering. The question of retirement is not assuming an urgency, but it is looming larger, larger than it ever has.

To continue reading, please see my post today at Tweetspeak Poetry.

Arroyo re-settled using G.E.C.K.

Fo2 Arroyo Ending

No Requirements: This is the default ending.

After the Enclave's destruction, the refugees of Arroyo and Vault 13 resettled, building a new community with the aid of the Garden of Eden Creation Kit. Finding themselves hundreds of miles from their Vault, the members of Vault 13 chose to join the villagers in establishing a new community, and their technical expertise, combined with the villagers survival skills, allowed the new settlement to grow and prosper. Two generations of the same bloodline were re-united, and their savior, the Chosen One, became Elder, presiding over the village in the years to come.

Elder dies peacefully

FO02 NPC Village Elder

Requirements: The Elder is alive.

Arroyo's elder lived for many years after the destruction of the Enclave. She was pleased that the ancient separation between Vault 13 and the Vault Dweller had been reconciled, and many were the times she told you that she wished the Vault Dweller were alive to have seen the reconciliation take place. The Elder passed away in her sleep, certain that the safety of your new village had been secured and was now flourishing. Many of the older Arroyo residents believe that she now lives in the vault of the sky, telling the Vault Dwellers of your brave deeds.
  • It is possible to void this ending entirely if the Elder dies while on the Oil Rig. Losing the game only occurs should she die in Arroyo.

1. Modoc is razed after war with Slags

Fo2 Modoc Bad Ending

Requirements: Deliver the message, then offer to help but fail, or join the people of Modoc in an attack on the Slags.

Armed with flares and clubs, the people of Modoc invade the Slags' underground city. The Slags are quickly defeated, and the Modoc residents slaughter every man, woman, and child they find. Rumor of this vicious attack spreads far and wide, and fear motivates Modoc's neighbors to attack and destroy the town.

2. Modoc disperses after Slags' destruction

Requirements: Kill the Slags, or deliver the message and immediately refuse to do any more.

The extermination of the Slags only created new problems for Modoc. Unable to find the Slags underground cistern that sustains the crops, Modoc is hit hard by the resultant drought. Over the next several years, the people of Modoc either move away or die of starvation.

3. Modoc flourishes

Fo2 Modoc Good Ending

Requirements: Make peace between Modoc and the Slags.

Relations between the Slags and residents of Modoc flourished. Between the two peoples, Modoc prospers and becomes a major farming community, supplying all the outlying regions with food.
  • NOTE: In any versions of Fallout 2 that lack children, one quest cannot be solved to ensure peace. The GOG version (which is the US version) is free of this problem.

4. Modoc disperses due to drought

Requirements: Don't deliver the message and don't kill the Slags.

The drought lasts for another seven long years. Even though the residents of Modoc attempted to weather the drought, their dreams along with their crops withered to dust.

The Den

1. The Den disperses

FO2 Den Disperses Ending

Requirements: Both Metzger and Rebecca are dead.

Without any viable economy, the Den soon vanishes into the wasteland.

2. The Den flourishes

Requirements: Metzger is dead, Rebecca is alive.

With Metzger gone, slavery disappears from the area. Becky's Casino Bar grows quickly, and Rebecca Dyer's reputation as a honest casino and bar owner brought her the business needed to buy out her competition and expand. The Den flourishes, and it soon gains a reputation for being a tough, but honest, community.

3. The Den becomes raider central

Requirements: Metzger is alive, but Big Jesus Mordino is dead.

Metzger's business in the slave trade soon fades with the removal of the Mordino family. The Den continues to attract criminals, and Metzger's business practices delve further into drugs and prostitution. The Den soon becomes a rallying point and a safe haven for raiders in the region.

4. The Den becomes slaver central

Requirements: Both Metzger and Big Jesus Mordino are alive.

J.E. Sawyer's Fallout Role-Playing Game (not confirmed as canon)Gametitle-JES
Metzger's slave trade in the Den expanded greatly, giving him influence and power throughout most of the area. Breeding pens are started and eventually no one is safe from the threat of being enslaved. Travelers avoid the Den, hearing of the evils committed within its walls.

Vault City

1. Population driven to NCR by radiation

FO2 Vault City Bad Ending

Requirements: Don't fix the power plant.

Over the next few years, the background radiation from Gecko's power plant began to cause mutations in the Vault City population, forcing the Citizens to relocate to NCR. NCR, however, recalling past animosity, relegated the Vault City refugees to the status of second class citizens.

2. VC independent, Westin and Lynette marry

FO2 Vault City Joins NCR Ending

Requirements: Fix the power plant, kill the raiders, expose Bishop's plan, and deliver the two holodisks but do not collect the final reward from Randal (bug), and both Roger Westin & Joanne Lynette are alive.

The correspondence between NCR and Vault City continued, and a few years after the destruction of the Enclave, Roger Westin assumed the head of the NCR council. He immediately set limits for NCR's expansion north, and in a landmark settlement, passed an amendment that formally recognized Vault City's independence. Shortly after this settlement, Westin suffered a heart attack and retired from politics. He moved north to Vault City for medical treatment and eventually married Joann Lynette in the following year.

3. VC invaded by NCR

Requirements: Fix the power plant, don't bring the account book or Bishop's holodisk to Lynette.

In the years to come, Vault City suffered greatly from raider attacks. Eventually, the situation grew so desperate the Citizens were forced to request aid from NCR. Within a month, a large detachment of the NCR's military was stationed in Vault City. The military presence quickly became an occupation force, and Vault City became the first of NCR's border territories.

4. VC joins the NCR

Requirements: Fix the power plant, kill the raiders and bring the account book or Bishop's holodisk to Lynette. (This ending is given if not getting 2 for any reason, e.g. Westin is dead or the reward picked up.)

In the years following the destruction of the Enclave, Vault City continued to stagnate, choking on its own isolationism. Its Vault 8 generator, which was never intended to support such a large population, prevented Vault City's necessary expansion. Eventually, the city was absorbed by NCR, which had spread steadily northwards since its founding.

5. VC destroyed

Requirements: Turn Vault City hostile.

The slaughter of Vault City has become the stuff of legend. One day it was a thriving community, and the next, the bodies of its Citizens lay strewn throughout the streets. It looked as if raiders had sacked the city, but no bodies of the attackers were ever found. Their Vault was plundered of all its technology, and refugees from Gecko soon moved into the broken walls of the city.

6. VC destroyed, rebuilt by ghouls

Requirements: Fix the power plant, turn Vault City hostile.

The slaughter of Vault City has become the stuff of legend. One day it was a thriving community, and the next, the bodies of its Citizens lay strewn throughout the streets. It looked as if raiders had sacked the city, but no bodies of the attackers were ever found. Their Vault was plundered of all its technology, and the inhabitants of Gecko soon moved into the broken walls of the city. In a few short months, they had rebuilt the city and restored much of the systems that had been damaged by the raiders.

New Reno

1. Everyone dead

Fo2 Reno Bad Ending

Requirements: All four of the family bosses are dead.

The inhabitants of New Reno were slaughtered, and the city collapsed into ruin. No lights shine there now, the streets home only to packs of wild dogs and vultures. The desert tribes avoid the giant graveyard, claiming the city is haunted by evil spirits. Some say the destruction of New Reno was a judgment from a higher power.

2. Tribals arise

Fo2 Reno Good Ending

Requirements: Impregnate either Bishop woman and leave her alive, and tell Mrs. Bishop she should move on.

In the years following the destruction of the Enclave, a new family arose in New Reno, following the example of a simple tribal that had once visited their city. They were few in number but surprisingly resourceful. Driven by religious fervor, they took control of New Reno and put the other families to the spear. After their victory, they sent out many messengers across Northern California looking for their founder, but without success. Many felt that the founder had been taken by the fortune spirits and now dwelled in a golden casino paradise in the sky.

3. Bishop child

Requirements: Male character, impregnate either Bishop woman and leave her alive, but don't tell Mrs. Bishop to move on.

Not long after the destruction of the Enclave, the Bishop Family of New Reno was blessed with a child. This child seemed to have little in common with the Bishops, preferring instead to spend his days exploring the wastes. When he turned thirteen, he seized control of the Bishop Family and led them to victory over the remaining New Reno families. He died quietly in his sleep at the age of seventy-three, never having known his real father.

4. Bishops take control, New Reno joins the NCR

Requirements: Leave the Bishop family in control.

The Bishop Family of New Reno rose to prominence over the next few years, forming a strong political alliance with the New California Republic and Vault City. Many mysterious deaths and closed-door proceedings surrounded the formation of the alliance, but in the end, New Reno became part of the 'civilized' world. The other families were soon absorbed, and New Reno became a prime tourist location for the new republic. In the decades after the alliance, several Bishops rose to political power and were instrumental in the passage of several amendments protecting gambling rights and prostitution.

5. Salvatores take control of New Reno using Enclave weapons

Requirements: Leave the Salvatore family in control.

The Salvatore Family of New Reno, having profited from their ties to Navarro, used their laser weaponry to burn the other families into submission. The resultant massacre was dubbed "Ash Friday" and is still celebrated in New Reno to this day.

6. Mordinos takes control of New Reno, jet addiction spreads

Requirements: Leave the Mordino family in control, don't get ending 7.

The Mordino Family grew greatly in power as jet's influence spread across Northern California. Within a year, they had seized control of New Reno and expanded their empire, absorbing the Den and other surrounding areas. There was little violence in the conquest, as jet had weakened all resistance to Mordino rule.

7. Mordinos wane

Requirements: Leave the Mordino family in control, deliver jet to Dr. Troy but do not return for the jet Antidote (bug).

With their jet production halted with the discovery of a cure, the Mordino Family quickly lost ground in New Reno and were absorbed by the other families. Most became enforcers or slaves, and the name Mordino was soon forgotten.

8. Wrights violently seize control of New Reno

Requirements: Leave the Wright family in control, enter the SAD.

Less than a month after the Enclave's destruction, a mob war broke out in New Reno streets. The Wrights, armed with an arsenal of weaponry that dated back to the pre-War years, leveled the casinos of the other families with rocket launchers. The 'mob war' was clocked as lasting a little over forty-three minutes, and when the smoke cleared, half of New Reno had been demolished. To this day, it is commonly taught that the Wright Family were the founders of New Reno.

9. Wrights attack Mordinos and get slaughtered

Requirements: Leave the Wright family in control, take but don't finish the murder quest.

Within months after the Enclave's destruction, war broke out in New Reno streets. The Wrights, believing the Mordinos responsible for the death of one of their family, attacked the Desperado casino. The running gun battle that ensued lasted little more than a day, and the Wrights were massacred to the last woman and child. Their mansion lies vacant now, and there are few New Reno inhabitants who remember who once lived there.

10. Wrights transform New Reno into a civilized city

Requirements: Leave the Wright family in control, but don't enter the SAD or become their Made Man, complete the murder quest.

Within a year of the Enclave's destruction, the Wright Family turned from criminal activity to legitimate pursuits. Several schools and churches were established in New Reno, along with a law enforcement body that crippled the influence of the families. Though New Reno lost much of its edge, the city obtained a certain solidity that appealed to newcomers. Many came to Reno, not to visit, but to live, and the population increased threefold. Today the test scores of New Reno high school graduates are greater than many Californian schools before the War.
  • Fallout: New Vegas establishes the continued presence of the Wrights in New Reno as canon.

Richard Wright's murder

Murder solved

Requirements: Solve the murder quest correctly.

Though the Wright Family never completely recovered from Richard's death, the knowledge that the killer had been brought to justice eased their troubled sleep.

True murderer never found

Requirements: Finger a suspect other than the Salvatores.

Though a murderer had been found and punished, the true identity of the man who had killed Mr. Wright's son was never discovered. The murder was never spoken of again and became a closed chapter in the Wright Family history.

Myron dead and forgotten

Fo2 Myron Ending

Requirements: Hear Myron's name from Jules, Little Jesus, Renesco, Reed or Myron himself, and Myron is alive.

Myron died less than a year after the defeat of the Enclave, stabbed by a jet addict while drinking in the Den. His discovery of jet was quickly forgotten, and now there is no one who remembers his name.

Every family in New Reno starts out with a "power counter" at 100 which will drop as a result of following actions:

  • Killing a boss: Drops that family's power to 0 (technically -1)
  • Killing a bartender, casino bouncer, generic guard or unnamed adult Wright: -1
  • Mordino: killing or recruiting Myron: +20 (bug), killing Little Jesus: -1
  • Bishop: breaking the raiders' Strength: -20
  • Salvatore: disturbing the desert transaction: -20, killing Mason: -5
  • Wright: breaking the stills: -20, killing Keith Wright: -2, killing Chris Wright: -1

The family which has the highest counter at the end of the game wins the power struggle; in the event of a tie, the order of priority is: Mordino, Bishop, Salvatore, Wright.

  • The two "impregnation" endings take precedence over all others. They are only available for male characters.

1. Gecko destroyed

Fo2 Gecko Bad Ending

Requirements: Blow up the power plant.

The Gecko reactor meltdown had terrible consequences for the region. The resultant radioactivity and heat emanating from the reactor killed every living creature within a ten-kilometer radius and poisoned the area for years to come. Vault City's perceived threat from the peaceful ghouls of Gecko was at an end.

2. Gecko and Vault City form uneasy truce

Fo2 Gecko Good Ending

Requirements: Fix the power plant, but do not get the reactor holodisk from Festus.

Repairing Gecko's power plant prevented any further radioactivity from leaking into Vault City's groundwater. Though this eased tensions between the two communities, they still maintain an uneasy truce.

3. Gecko enslaved

Requirements: Fix and optimize the power plant.

Optimizing Gecko's reactor creates a power surplus in Gecko. The Vault City council, unable to expand because of their limited power supply, yields to internal pressure and is forced to take over Gecko to control the reactor. The peaceful ghouls of Gecko become slaves and spend the rest of their lives serving Vault City.

4. Gecko and Vault City form an alliance

Requirements: Fix and optimize the power plant, deliver Brain's/Gordon Gecko's economic data holodisk to McClure. (bugged)

Optimizing Gecko's power plant became the first step in forging a spirit of cooperation between Gecko and Vault City. Gecko's increased power production became instrumental in helping Vault City's expansion. The harsh xenophobia of many of Vault City's leaders faded into obscurity while ghoul and human labored side-by-side to create a center of learning and tolerance where once had stood only enmity and distrust.

5. Gecko destroyed by Vault City

'Requirements: Do not fix the power plant.

Eventually the citizens of Vault City tired of having their groundwater radiated by the ghoul's leaking atomic reactor in Gecko. In a wave of xenophobic fear and hatred, the well-armed soldiers of Vault City slaughtered the peaceful ghouls and shut down the reactor for good. Unable to harness any additional sources of power Vault City eventually stagnated and died-itself a victim of its own hatred.

Harold's tree grows larger

FO02 NPC Harold B

Requirements: Harold is alive.

You still hear mention of Harold from time to time. Apparently, the tree growing from his head has gotten larger, and if rumors are to be believed, fruit is growing from it. The seeds are said to be remarkably tough, and several of them have taken root even in the most barren stretches of the wasteland.
  • Fallout 3 establishes this ending as canon.

1. Redding annexed by Vault City

FO2 Redding Ending 1

Requirements: Deliver the jet antidote, leave and return to downtown Redding at least one day later, and Dr. Johnson is alive (even after the cure is administered).

After Doc Johnson helped treat the miners during the Great Jet Scare, the Citizens of Vault City voted Doc Johnson into the Mayor's seat. Under the Doctor's patient hand, Redding forged closer ties with Vault City until, some years later, Vault City annexed Redding, granting Vault City Citizenship to only 10 percent of Redding's population.

2. Redding allies with New Reno

Requirements: Sell the chip to McGrew, do not get ending 1.

Several years after the Chosen one sold the Excavator Chip to Dangerous Dan McGrew, Dan used the superior production of his Morningstar Mine to buy the Kokoweef mine and then to reopen the Great Wanamingo Mine. Dan then used his industrial clout to forge an alliance of convenience with the families of New Reno, trading gold in return for protection.

3. Redding joins the NCR

FO2 Redding Ending 2

Requirements: Sell the chip to LeBarge, do not get ending 1.

Several years after buying the Excavator Chip from the Chosen One, Marge LeBarge is able to purchase and control both the Morningstar and the newly opened Kokoweef mines. Marge is an easy choice for Mayor, and using her new political power, she makes Redding join the growing New California Republic in return for a seat in the NCR's Hall of Congress.

4. Redding deserted

Requirements: Do not sell the chip, nor get ending 1.

The gold-producing town of Redding soon found itself in the unenviable position of a scrap of meat being torn by three jealous vultures. Sooner than many would have expected there was nothing left of the scrap that was once Redding, for Vault City, New Reno, and the New California Republic had laid waste what was once an area of plenty. Nothing now exists but the desiccated husk of what once was Redding.

Even if the mining chip was sold, as long as the jet antidote was delivered Redding will always get annexed by Vault City.

Broken Hills

1. Mutants dead, Broken Hills disperses

Fo2 Broken Hills Ending

Requirements: The mutants in the mine are dead.

The destruction of the mutants ensured the death of the town. Without their strength and ability to withstand the toxins within the mine, the valuable ore proved unattainable. Those who caused this destruction rejoiced at first… until they realized the foolishness of what they had done. They struggled to keep the community flourishing, but to no avail. The winds and the waste scoured Broken Hills from the map.

2. Uranium runs out, Broken Hills peacefully disperses

Requirements: Get Marcus to put the mutant-haters in jail and/or find the missing people for him.

With the destruction of the conspiracy to destroy the mutants, Broken Hills began to thrive. Then the uranium ran out. The city, having lost its sole reason for existing, slowly dispersed. The residents carried their riches with them, leaving the place a wind-swept, desolate ghost town. A few hold-outs remained, attempting to eke out a pathetic existence, but eventually, they too, disappeared.

3. Racial wars erupt, Broken Hills violently disperses

Requirements: Do neither of the above.

Shortly after your last departure, the powder keg of racial tension in Broken Hills exploded. Racist humans fought against mutants, ghouls, and humans who had sided with the mutants. The few survivors of the battle destroyed the mine, ensuring no one else could profit by it, and disappeared into the wastes.

Marcus travels East

Requirements: Marcus is alive during the game.

Inspired by the example set by the Chosen One, Marcus eventually traveled across the great mountains to the east, searching for other refugees from the Master's army. You never heard from him again.

Since the endings occur over a period of time after the Chosen One completes his task, and do not necessarily start happening straight away, the Chosen One can still find mutants and ghouls and Caravan guards and all still in Broken Hills, after the main game is over.

New California Republic

1. NCR becomes a major power in the West Coast

Fo2 NCR Good Ending

Requirements: Complete the deal between NCR and Vault 15.

Your help with Vault 15 launched the New California Republic's push to civilize its neighbors. Though there were many more obstacles to overcome, the NCR now had a foothold into the northern wastes.

2. NCR expansion slowed

Fo2 NCR Bad Ending

Requirements: Do not complete the deal, Westin is alive.

The failure of diplomacy at Vault 15 slows the New California Republic's growth into the north. Embarrassed by the failure, President Tandi is replaced by Roger Westin. When the new government finally returns to Vault 15, they find nothing but a ghost town.

3. Carlson rules with corruption

Requirements: Do not complete the deal, Westin is dead, Carlson is alive.

Already weakened by the failure to annex Vault 15, President Tandi is forced to retire when her own Vice-President Carlson accuses her of complicity in Councilman Westin's death. As the new President, Carlson wastes no time securing his grip on power. Under his rule, expansion slows, as he is more concerned about lining his own pockets than furthering the cause of civilization.

4. NCR under military rule

Requirements: Do not complete the deal, both Westin & Carlson are dead.

Shaken by the assassination of Vice-President Carlson, right-wing elements seize control of the Congress and set the New California Republic on the path to military rule. Eventually the survivors of the Enclave find a new home in the ranks of the NCR.

The NCR has two pictures, both showing the flag; for endings 2-3 the flag is in tatters.

Vault 15

1. Vault 15 joins NCR

Fo2 Vault 15 Good Ending

Requirements: Complete the deal with NCR.

With the support of the New California Republic, the Vault 15 squatters soon become self-sufficient and productive members of society.

2. Vault 15 deserted

Fo2 Vault 15 Bad Ending

Requirements: Do not complete the deal with NCR.

The squatters of Vault 15 continued their meaningless, non-productive lives. No one noticed when the desert wastes finally claimed 'The Squat'...

Vault 13

1. Deathclaws thrive

Requirements: Prevent the massacre by killing Dr. Schreber, fix the vault computer. (bugged)

With your aid, the deathclaws of Vault 13 became a thriving community. When the vault could no longer hold their numbers, a peaceful campaign of expansion was launched to claim the surrounding lands...

2. Genocide

Fo2 Vault 13 Ending

Requirements: Gruthar is dead or return to Vault 13 after the massacre. (Two weeks after receiving the G.E.C.K.)

By eliminating the deathclaws of Vault 13 you banished yet another species to the realms of extinction, proving, once again, that genocide is a viable solution to any problem...

Due to scripting errors, the positive ending is completely unavailable in the vanilla game. The genocide ending can be avoided (and so give none for Vault 13) if the massacre is not triggered, or by not talking to Gruthar or returning afterwards, but if done so the latter ending will always be chosen, this is similar to the Hub and Followers ending bugs in the original Fallout. According to John Deiley, who designed Vault 13, this ending was actually scrapped because the Enclave plot required the slaughter of the deathclaws. However Killap's patch will fix this bugged script, allowing the positive ending to be obtainable by doing the actions as said in the requirements above.

San Francisco

1. Population decimated

Fo2 San Francisco Shi Ending 1

Requirements: Turn the Shi hostile.

The Shi, demoralized and leaderless after your rampage through their town, slowly drifted apart. They blended into other towns, hoping to find a place free from the depredations of killers.

2. Sentient plant problems

Fo2 San Francisco Shi Ending 2

Requirements: Dr. Wong is dead, do not turn the Shi hostile.

The strain of plant the scientists were growing mutated, gaining a measure of sentience. It killed the laboratory technicians and took over the laboratory in which it was first conceived. It took a massive concentration of resources to crush the being, and this left the Shi poverty-stricken. They disappeared into the wastes.

3. The Shi flourish

Fo2 San Francisco Shi Ending 3

Requirements: Do none of the above.

The Shi flourished, creating a botanical scourge on the radiation surrounding their beloved town. Though this vine could not grow in other soils, the Shi took care to nourish it in their lands. They continued to grow in strength and prominence, forming the basis of a new empire.

1. Death by explosion

FO2 Hubologists Ending

Requirements: Do not get fuel for the Hubologists.

The scientists grew tired of waiting for the Star Father to come for them or provide the fuel they needed. Using a cheap derivative fuel, they launched an abortive effort to reach the stars themselves. Their shuttle exploded moments after take off.

2. Death by suffocation

Requirements: Get fuel for the Hubologists, but do not repair the spacecraft.

The Hubologist scientists, unable to figure out how to create an airtight seal on their ship, went ahead and launched it anyway, believing that the Star Father would protect them once they left earth's atmosphere. They perished in orbit.

3. Death by suffocation

Requirements: Do both of the above.

The Hubologist scientists ensured a safe and speedy launch of the Quetzel. Unfortunately, they didn't account for having recycled air aboard their ship, and they perished in orbit.

Richardson dead and forgotten

Fo2 President Ending

No Requirements: This is the default ending.

The destruction of the Enclave erased all trace of President Richardson from history. Now the title of "President" is used as a bogeyman to frighten children.

Tanker vagrants

Vagrants move on

Fo2 Tanker Ending

No Requirements: This is the default ending.

As for the tanker vagrants… well, as vagrants do, they drifted on.
