Forty years ago, the Maoist-inspired Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia. Despite only being in power from 1975-79, they managed to wipe out an estimated 1.4 to 2.2 million Cambodians and others. Cambodia at that time only had a population of 7 to 8 million.
The Khmer Rouge's victims were from all sections of the population, including its own members. On the outskirts of the nation's capital Phnom Penh, the Khmer Rouge turned a high school into a secret torture, interrogation, and execution center.
It was called S-21, one of at least 150 execution centers established through the country, which the Khmer Rouge had renamed Democratic Kampuchea. More than 14,000 people are known to the have been sent to S-21, but only 7 are believed to have survived.
All types of people were sent to S-21, even young children.
Kampuchea was the kind of hell hole where if you got into trouble, then your whole family would suffer terribly as well.
In this 2.40 minute report below, one of the few S-21 survivors talks about how he survived this hell hole, and how justice has yet to be served to the former leadership of the Khmer Rouge:
While the vast majority of S-21 victims were Cambodians, there were also foreign victims, especially Vietnamese of whom nearly 500 were killed there. Among the Westerners who were sent and murdered at the center were four French, two Americans, two Australians, one Brit, and a New Zealander.
The varied torture methods used in the center's interrogation process were designed to ensure a confession to a political crime, no matter how ludicrous the charges may have been. Searing hot metal instruments, electric shocks, and even skinning people alive were some of the cruelties put into practice.
There were also cases of medical experiments being conducted on some prisoners.
Prisoners were typically held at S-21 for 2-3 months. If the degradation and torture did not kill them, they were taken to a killing area where the Khmer Rouge soldiers would use iron bars, knives, axes, or clubs. Bullets were being rationed.
Today, S-21 is now the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide. Tens of thousands of people have visited it to see what occurred there and throughout the country during the Khmer Rouge's rule.
One of the most haunting aspects of the museum are the portraits that the Khmer Rouge took of their prisoners, of which 6000 have been recovered. Some of them are featured in the top video and you can see others below as well.
Each image, in itself, tells an immeasurably sad and tragic story.

Bitcoin might be making a comeback. The crypto saw a 10 percent increase on Wednesday (Dec. 19) morning to reach a high of $3,929.10.
This latest surge brought bitcoin's three-day gains to more than 22 percent. And it wasn't the only digital currency to get a boost: XRP soared 16 percent, and ether increased 13 percent.
Still, CoinFi CEO Timothy Tam warned that it isn't exactly time for cryptocurrencies to "breath a sign of relief."
"If anything, it proves speculation still dominates and most — not all, but most — are not trading in reality," Tam said in an interview with CNBC. He added that some investors have been patiently waiting for the market to bottom out.
"It's certainly a hell of a lot more cost efficient to buy now," he added. "The hope is that the market has culled jumpy retail investors and, as regulators move in, we start to see some much needed stability."
In other news, as it plans to expand the number of digital assets on its platform, Coinbase has moved around $5 billion worth of retail traders' crypto assets into its upgraded storage model.
Phillip Martin, Coinbase's head of security, told CoinDesk that the process took roughly four months to plan.
"This was a fundamentally new architecture from the ground up," said Martin. "Regulators and auditors were involved at every stage … One of the biggest things we were worried about is that we don't move the market with this event, which is why we went to such lengths to coordinate with regulators and manage media speculation around the movements."
And CoinList is turning "CoinList Build" into a product, which will allow blockchain startups to easily create online hackathons to connect with developers.
Its first hackathon with P2P ethereum exchange 0x will run from January 10 to February 7, with 0x offering $50,000 worth of its token as prizes to get people to sign up.
CoinList believes that online hackathons can be mutually beneficial for both startups and developers. "They are democratized, anyone can participate, you don't have to travel," CoinList President Andy Bromberg told CoinDesk. "It's a chance to get a bunch of people to build on top of a platform."

I have been blown away of late due to the volume of amazing items there are out there to accessorise you home the affordable way. Many of the cheaper items that I have seen in shops have been of really good quality which shows we can add a little something special to our homes without breaking the bank. I have stuck to a theme in my office, bringing together various shades of Rose Gold coupled with my white desk and chair. I have found these give my desk an added bit of luxury plus break up the starkness of the white nicely.
Today I'm featuring some items that I picked up from Primark which we all know is a super affordable High Street retailer and an item from Kate Spade who is one of all time favourite designers.
Finally, if you are struggling to find affordable office furniture, Used Office Furniture is a great way to kit out your office without breaking the bank.

Its also very sturdy and has 2 carry handles on the side. This item could be used in multiple ways in your office and of course around the home including Bathroom storage.
Primark Rose Gold Lights
Possibly not for everyone but as a Blogger I love having added lights especially for pictures. I wrap these around the back of my desk and they give a really lovely soft glow to the area, especially nice when I'm working at night time. My girls also have similar in their bedroom, plus these look incredible if you add them to a large glass jar. Priced at £3 I think they are a great price for the money and they really do make a nice statement.
Gold Bowknots Paper Clips
I had actually bought these predominately for picture usage but I'm now using them to keep projects that I'm working on together. I purchased them from eBay and they where only £1.59 inc postage.

Hi! I'm Jessamy. I created this space to document my "makes." I spend a lot of time sewing, thinking about sewing, buying fabric and patterns so I can sew, (you're getting the idea). I live in Northern VA with my husband, two kids, a fish and six sewing machines (yikes!). My past times include sewing, quilting, knitting, baking, running, biking, and drinking too much coffee. Join me on an adventure to sew my way to a handmade wardrobe.
When I'm not at home making, you can find us traveling around the country. We are making an effort to visit all 50 states, and take at least one family selfie in each along the way. Thanks for stopping by!

Code Geass R2 Upgrades
I actually hate Mechas. Code Geass was the first anime I watched that has the Genre. I haven't watched Guren Laggan because of that reason. Suzaku really is a leacher… To think it was just a prototype back then… The episode doesn't concern the dramatic battle but the improvements of Earl Lloyd and Lakshata had done through the past years Zero has been in slumber. Earl Lloyd introduces the Lancelot Conquista – Aerial type of Lancelot, with few anti measures installed and sturdier shield. I think Tristan is a better Knightmare than the Lancelot. The jet version has an advantage for speed, fast transformation. The Knightmare itself has a lance weapon[longer range of melee attack].
The Guren had the most significant changes for better battle configurations. Lakshata presents… Guren Kashoushiki… an Aerial unit as well, long distance firing of energy bolt, wide-spread energy blast, Gefjun Net for restriction of enemies, now with shield, and increased power output of the Yggdrasil Drive. It can discard damaged body parts now. It also has seperate unit that can be used to replace damaged parts.
As seen from the battle of Guren and Lancelot, I think the Black Knights' Lakshata won the first batch of upgrades… Earl Lloyd needs more improvement! Hahaha~ I think it was because the Britania focused in mass production of Lancelots, thus lacking on the focus of innovating new improvements and weapons for the prototype itself.
Other pics and caps~
This battle shows that Kallen really is something! Even Zino complemented her huh… Anyway, if it's Mordred VS Guren, I think Guren would still win because it is much faster. Mordred is just a power house but very slow in contrast to Guren that can match the speed of Lancelot and Tristan. This picture must be a symbol that Anya is no match for Kallen.
This scene reminds me of Tidus and his party sliding along the railing in order to save Yuna and to prevent her wedding… Whatever, this picture shows the superior piloting skills of Kallen [The Guren is still a land unit in this scene]. Her sense of center of gravity must be pretty wicked.
Looks like Mordred got it's new toy. I think Anya is not scared for her hands to be stained by blood. She never hesitated in any of the battles to defeat the enemies. Considering she looks like pretty innocent
Poor Lelouch ~ Abandoned by his own reason… Just how will he continue the rebellion…

Kolbe duo enjoy State rugby duty on Gold Coast
Kolbe College students Chantelle Akkerman and Katie Barnes were successful in making the WA Under 18 rugby sevens side which toured the Gold Coast recently.
Chantelle, 17, received the most valuable player and coaches' award for her performance in Queensland.
Unfortunately, Katie, 16, was not able to travel with the side due to a school trip overseas, but received some welcome news when she returned home in the form of an invitation to train at the Australian Institute of Sport.
Katie is now in the running for a spot on the Australian women's side which will compete at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.
Women's rugby sevens will make its debut at the games and the Gold Coast tournament and earlier State trials were part of the talent identification process to determine the country's most promising players.
The trials, which were held across Australia in September and October, attracted thousands of young players, many of whom did not have a rugby background.

| 13.5°C Belfast
Stoke striker Ricardo Fuller has asked for permission to speak to Sunderland as confusion surrounds the striker's future.
Potters manager Tony Pulis stated on Friday that the Black Cats had made a bid and also confirmed the player had asked to talk to the Wearsiders.
When asked whether the 31-year-old had asked for permission to speak to Sunderland, Pulis replied: "Yes, of course. We've had a chat together, we've sat down and spoken about it. He knows what's going on. In today's modern world everyone knows what's going on before it's going on. He knows the score and what it's about."
Pulis had earlier told his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at Wolves: "Sunderland have made an offer and both clubs are talking.
"But it is not just Sunderland, other clubs are interested.
"Ric has been here five-and-a-half years but if someone comes in and makes a 'worldy' offer which benefits him for the rest of his life and we can't match it then we as a football club have a responsibility to, and a respect for, the lad.
"If we think it is beneficial for us as well as Ricardo then we'll get the deal done.
"Ric has been a fantastic player at this club. We've looked after him and done very well for him and he's done well for us.
"If he has the opportunity to go somewhere else which will secure his future for the rest of his life then we have to take his personal views into account.
"There comes a time - there has been stuff going on behind the scenes - and he has an opportunity to do very well for himself."

DC isn't just the capital of our nation, it's also the capital of anti-free speech America. Now the public there wants to ban certain billboards.
Did Hillary Clinton ever actually have that huge lead over the GOP candidates? Or was it all just just bad polling methodology?

Pope Francis's critique of free-market economics has made him an icon for the Left and prompted claims that he is a communist. The leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics has called capitalism a source of inequality at best – and at worst a killer. Is the Pope, as his critics claim, a red radical?

Whether you are ready for it or not, a wave of virtual technology is sweeping over the fitness industry. Ever since the days of Richard Simmons and Buns of Steel, health seekers and fitness enthusiasts have had options for workout instruction outside of traditional gyms and fitness facilities. But, over the last decade these options have grown more numerous and more sophisticated than ever before. Today, people can video chat with a trainer half a world away in real time. Virtual gyms, with no physical facility at all, now offer custom workout plans, nutrition tracking and live-streaming fitness classes. There is a myriad of workout videos such as Beachbody, P90X and The 21 Day Fix that people can use to get fit in the comfort of their own homes.
Do these new technologies signal the decline of traditional gyms and fitness centers? A number of factors would say no. First, these products are not cheap – Virtual Personal Trainer, for example, charges $240/month for a subscription! At an even more fundamental level, these "at home" solutions can never offer the equipment, accountability and sense of community found in brick and mortar facilities with face-to-face interactions with real fitness professionals.
In fact, rather that fighting the virtual revolution, many forward-thinking fitness facilities are harnessing its power to draw new members, give them greater flexibility and increase their member retention rates. "Virtual membership" is rapidly becoming an industry buzzword. But, here's the catch, for many, the idea of "virtual membership" goes no further than enabling a member to access streaming group fitness videos, or interacting with a coach over their mobile device. But, that is just a piece of the puzzle. To reap the full benefits of the recent technological revolution, fitness center executive and directors need to think bigger… and broader.
In order to fully utilize this technological revolution, here are three critical questions you need to be asking:
- How can I think outside of our four walls and make the whole world my fitness center? In other words, how can I take all of a member's fitness activities, such as walking in the park, riding their bike to work, or pumping iron in the gym, and integrate them all as part of the member experience at my facility?
- Millennials grew up using social media, smartphones, tablets and instant messaging. How can I leverage these technologies that they are already using to create a virtual community with my fitness facility as the hub?
- Finally, since mobile devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearables are so pervasive, how can I use that technology to create an interactive experience at my facility?
As we look ahead, there are a number of exciting technologies that are here, or on the horizon, that will allow you to answer those questions in ways that have never been possible before. Here are five things industry trends indicate are worth paying attention to as you seek to differentiate yourself and stay ahead of the curve as you move your fitness center into the future. We'll take a look at them from 30,000 feet today and then break them down in more detail in future posts.
- It all starts with an app. As you seek to create a virtual community for your members, it is vital to have an app that they can use as a hub for social activity, logging workouts, finding information about your center, and integrating with their wearable devices. Information about the member's overall wellness comes from a variety of different sources: cardio activity from their Fitbit, diet information from their nutrition app, and group challenges from social media. The vast majority of these separate applications share data. The idea is for your fitness center app to be a place they can come and find all these slices of their fitness pie compiled together in a single location.
- Make your facility an interactive experience. Beacon-based technology already exists that welcomes members via their smartphone whenever they enter your facility and allows their wellness coaches to know they are in the building. This same technology gives them information on upcoming classes as they approach the group fitness area and passes on information and a tutorial video for each piece of fitness equipment as they prepare to use it. The next generation of this technology will be even more sophisticated in its geolocation and will be able to automatically log group workout sessions, machines use, and sets and reps on those machines.
- Allow Virtual Participation. Skype and similar services now make it possible for Wellness Coaches to interact with members while they are traveling or homebound. It is also becoming feasible to live-stream group fitness classes so members can participate at home. While this is not a desirable solution on a permanent basis, many fitness centers are putting together virtual packages that allow such remote access, but require in-person gym visits at least once a week.
- Use gamification. Your ultimate aim as a fitness center is to help people reach their goals. And one of the most powerful behavior modification techniques to help people do that is gamification, applying gaming principles to fitness activities. Technologies are becoming available that allow members to "level up" when certain milestones are reached, open up new workout templates as a reward for consistent gym visitation, or even offer rewards such as apparel or a free month of membership if long-term goals are achieved. These principles, when incorporated into your technology are a powerful tool for member exercise adherence, engagement and retention.
- Use Technology to Build Social Connections. For millennials, community is key. You can foster a virtual community with online staff-to-member interactions, creating discussion forums, and groups for members with common interests (cycling, nutrition, etc.) or demographics to interact. You can do this with a dedicated social platform within you app, or a plugin on social media sites, such as Facebook.

Xavier drew Chompy a pretty Christmas tree last night
And, Chompy had a fantastic time with his Little People Nativity Scene. He was concerned though that Baby Jesus did not have an actual bed. BTW….this nativity scene is by far the cutest thing I've ever seen and I got it on sale! Score one for Momma!
You may be wondering why he has his paci, when his paci is supposed to stay in his bed. Chompy was a very sicky face yesterday, so he curled up on the couch with Daddy all day with his blankies, his "animals" (Monkey, Camel and Rabbit), and his pacis. Pooooor bubba head.

The Indian fashion industry is moving up the fashion value chain and witnessing the expansion of domestic and global fashion brands. It is one of the most dynamic, challenging and fastest growing sectors in India as well as globally. A large number of leading global fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Tommy Hilfiger, Espirit, Gucci, Nautica, Christian Dior, Chanel, FCUK, etc are already in India, while many others are planning to enter the dynamic market here soon.
With the rapid expansion of the industry, it is becoming organised and intensely competitive. Fashion or apparel management and its allied fields of work including fashion retail, and fashion merchandising, have become increasingly important today.
Fashion Management educates students in fashion marketing, merchandising and retail. It develops managerial talents for the garment export and the fashion retail sectors. Fashion Management professionals may explore a wide variety of career options, such as merchandising, buying, retail management or E- retailing. The current growth of the apparel industry both domestically as well as overseas, clearly indicates a huge requirement of professionally trained merchandisers and managers.
The digital revolution has also changed a lot within retail and the fashion industry, meaning those who seek a career in fashion and brand management must understand how the industry is continuing to develop in a global market and how this affects business. A specialized MBA in fashion will teach you how to work with these changes and how to develop a business with them in mind.
Fashion industry is relationship driven: As with many creative industries, the fashion world is incredibly relationship-driven. Both lucrative and highly competitive, those interested in working in fashion will often have to spend a long time developing contacts and, more importantly, friends within the industry in order to be in with a chance of getting into fashion.
From this it is clear that although a fashion career will require you to network, it does not have to be a chore. Developing friendships and working relationships will be one of the most important factors in advancing your career within fashion management so it is vital for you to relish this aspect.
Commitment to the fashion industry: Whether you study for a specialized MBA in fashion or a more traditional MBA, an interest in fashion itself is very important. It may not necessarily be an interest in wearing fashion, but a passion for the creativity or artistic nature of fashion is essential.
Getting into fashion management: Getting into fashion management within a big global brand may not happen overnight. Entering the industry is often down to lucky encounters as much as it is through painstaking determination. Many graduate MBAs have entered the industry through entrepreneurial ventures or work in advisory roles.
During your MBA you may want to consider interning for a smaller company within the industry. For businesses starting out, MBAs can offer valuable insights and skills in professional management, and, in return, the company can give you a place to test out and showcase your ideas. It's all very well knowing you are brilliant, but employers will want evidence of your professional experiences and the only way to do this at the very beginning is to offer your spare time to those in need but with limited funds. Who knows, it could even lead to a post-MBA job title better than you ever expected.
An ideal programme in Fashion Management offers a solid platform for those wishing to pursue careers in International Marketing, Fashion Merchandising, Brand Management, Retail Buying and Global Sourcing, Product Development, Retail Management, Visual Merchandising, Export Merchandising, Management Consulting, Fashion Education, Retail Technology, Supply Chain, Customer Relationship, Advertising etc.
The objective of the Program in Fashion Management is to develop managerial talents in the field of marketing, merchandising and retailing best suited to the requirements of the garment export and fashion retail sectors. Students undergo rigorous education in buying, merchandising (retail and export), retail operations, advertising, forecasting, international marketing, international trade practices and project formulation. They are exposed to creative merchandising/marketing, innovative fashion management practices, directions of fashion trends and business practices through field visits and industry internships. They have the right blend of hard and soft skills and possess the right attitude to enter the middle management of any growing organization.
Most schools have made summer internships / projects with Companies for their students. The companies upon completion of the students programs employ them full time. Moreover, almost all design schools have placement cells, which arrange for on campus placement. Most of the students in top design schools get placement on campus
You do not have to sketch elaborate ball gown designs or hem suits to make the most out of your fashion management degree. Being a designer is one of the higher profile roles you can fill in the fashion and luxury industry, but this position requires a talent that is often innate.
Don not worry, there are a multitude of careers in fashion management and luxury brand management, so many that you may start in one position and naturally gravitate to another within the fashion and luxury industry, making you cross-functional and more marketable.
The streams that can be chosen after pursuing Fashion Management are:
Fashion & Luxury Merchandising involves analyzing market trends, strategic production planning, managing purchase negotiations and developing advertising and marketing strategies.
Managers are responsible for developing and executing online and offline marketing initiatives to improve the positioning of a product or service in the fashion & luxury industry.
Public relation personnel work alongside fashion editors to generate positive publicity and client brand recognition. These individuals engage in market research, trend analysis, customer retention tactics, and networking initiatives with celebrities, models and other public figures who can elevate a brand or concept.
Fashion & Luxury Buyers travel to production facilities, trade fairs and fashion shows worldwide to see which fashion & luxury pieces are materializing in the industry in order to determine what a company will showcase based on emerging seasonal trends.
The goal of the retail and sales sector in the fashion & luxury industry is to use innovative business strategies to ensure products reach consumers by the most effective and efficient means possible. Some responsibilities include analyzing customer demand, forecasting sales, negotiating prices with suppliers, managing a team, attending trade events, and planning brand bolstering engagements.
In the fashion & luxury industry marketing and advertising managers manage various campaigns to improve the branding of a product or service a company provides impacting the bottom-line, net profits.
Social Media Managers working in the fashion & luxury industry are responsible for creating brand awareness, driving traffic, and fostering engagement with online communities. They give the brand a voice and generate interest by publishing relevant content, launching promotional campaigns, and creating partnerships across all platforms.
These roles are not the same, but there is some overlap, requiring creativity and vision. From someone who selects the clothing and accessories to props for published editorial features, print or digital advertising campaigns, music videos, concert performances, and public appearances celebrities, models, and important figures make.
Writers who love fashion have the opportunity to give their insight into the exciting world of fashion. From hard copy magazines to online blogs, you can also write for eCommerce websites, PR firms and trade publications.
Production managers oversee textiles and clothing made at the manufacturing level. They work closely with retailers and suppliers assure quality standards are kept.
It is no surprise that fashion marketing and retail management courses are rising in popularity each year, and with the right amount of experience, you might be surprised at just how many different career options are open to you. Some of the roles that you can step in after graduating in Fashion Management are:
Fashion retailers can only sustain their competitive advantage when they are able to extract the highest quality materials at the lowest possible costs. Vendor analysts for high fashion brands use their analysis skills and business expertise to choose the best suppliers for their products.
With the right wealth of experience and know-how, you can launch your own fashion business online. Self-made entrepreneurs are dominating the fashion industry, and it seems that with the success of online start-ups like Rent the Runway, e-tailing is here to stay.
With a focus on production and sourcing of quality sellers, this career is perfect for those who are skilled at building strong relationships. This role requires in-depth industry knowledge, strong analytical skills and the ability to identify upcoming fashion trends.
Creative consultants provide essential expertise in the area that intersects fashion and business. They are not designers; rather, they provide a creative direction for fashion industry professionals that attract and grow their target audience.
Focusing on product placement, merchandising, and sales revenue, commercial directors of high fashion brands are in charge of overseeing budgeting, operative, and supply chain activity, while carrying out the company, s development growth model to fruition.
As an international programme manager, you will be responsible for executing the successful expansion of a global luxury brand or company. Using your business development expertise, you will work with marketing and operations professionals to achieve corporate objectives.
Stylist operations managers use their luxury branding expertise to liaise over daily activities, with the goal of optimising business practice, conducting regular audits, increasing output while minimising input, and ensuring legal and corporate compliance.
As a fashion business advisor, you will be providing companies with the toolkit to build and sustain a successful luxury branding enterprise, advising on everything from business strategy and fashion marketing techniques to building brand awareness and optimising product distribution.
Effective fashion brand management relies on the strong direction of a chief merchandising officer to meet customer demand and employ corrective measures when needed. You will be responsible for allocating merchandise, creating product assortment plans, and using business analytics to boost sales growth.
Companies which generally recruit aspiring fashionmanagers are:
Abhishek Industries, Adidas, Aditya Birla Group, American Pacific, Arthur Anderson, Arvind Mills, Ashima, Benetton, Blackberry, Body Shop, Busana Apparel Group, Calvin Klein, Canary Blue, Carrefour, Colour Plus, Creative Group, Creatnet, Debenhams, East West, Esprit, Fabindia, FUK, Federated Group, Francis Wacziarg, Future Group, GAP India, Givo, Indian Terrain, Infosys, ITC Wills Lifestyle, JWT, Lacoste, Landmark, Levi, Li & Fung, Lifestyle, Marks & Spencer, Mast Lanka, MCannErickron, Mckinsey, etc.

Well I took full advantage of my extra hour of sleep last night. Nothing like getting up when it used to be 10:00 and is now 9:00!
I didn't have many clocks to reset this time around, compared to when I used to live with my parents. Just 1 analog clock, 1 digital alarm clock, and the microwave clock. The rest (two cell phones and computers) reset automatically.
Oh I just remembered, I have to reset my car clock. Time to pull out the manual for my radio, because I never remember how to do it. Maybe I will actually do it today, instead of waiting a few weeks and mentally adding/subtracting a hour like I usually do!

If the Grand Theft Auto series is the Godfather of the so-called "sandbox" genre, consider Crackdown to be the Die Hard or the XXX.
Publisher: Microsoft
Genres: Action
Price: $59.99
Multimedia: Crackdown
Platforms: Xbox 360
Number of players: 1-2
ESRB rating: Mature
Developer: Realtime Worlds
US release date: 2007-02-20
Developer website
As great as a sprawling epic like The Godfather is, it can admittedly seem slow. It's not a boring flick by any means, but all of the complicated family relationships, the often subtle nuances and slow-burning character development, combined with a three-hour running time can feel exhausting. Sometimes, as sacrilegious as it may sound, you just want to watch a good mindless action flick starring Vin Diesel or Bruce Willis.
The same could be said for video games. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a true masterpiece of a game, but it too can feel like a chore after sitting through long cutscenes, doing banal tasks like driving across town to a salon to get haircuts to increase your style points, and repeating dozens and dozens of missions with no end in sight.
That's why it's so refreshing to see Realtime Worlds' Crackdown, a third-person shooter for the Xbox 360 that may be the equivalent to the summer popcorn action movie. If the Grand Theft Auto series is the Godfather of the so-called "sandbox" genre (which makes sense, considering that Electronic Arts' recent Godfather game was a unabashed GTA clone), consider Crackdown to be the Die Hard or the XXX -– all white-knuckled action, gratuitous explosions, and violent mayhem.
Of course, while Crackdown is an easy game to describe –- it's Grand Theft Auto with super-powered cops as protagonists instead of gangsters –- writing an accurate review of it is a bit of a conundrum.
That's because it is simultaneously perfect and horribly flawed, even if that assertion, on the surface, doesn't make a lot of sense.
Let me attempt to explain. On one hand, Crackdown suffers in terms of the various elements in a game that reviewers typically comment critically about –- the graphics, the plot, the interface, the enemy AI, the originality of the design, the length, and the challenge of the game are all lacking in some way. It would be easy to make a laundry list of issues with the game that, if listed in it's entirety, would make Crackdown sound truly terrible.
But Crackdown is much more than the sum of its flawed parts. In spite of itself, it is quite simply the most addictive fun I've had playing a video game in months, if not years. And when I say addicting I don't mean it in the "C'mon, just five more minutes" way, I mean it in obsessive "I'm having dreams about doing super jumps on building tops to collect orbs" kind of way. It's that good.
There is a catch, however: To truly enjoy Crackdown to it's fullest, you're going to need to have Xbox Live and a friend who does also, because the truly innovative cooperative campaign is where the game really shines.
On it's own as a single-player adventure, it's still quite good. In Crackdown you control one of several nameless, interchangeable government agents that can instantly regenerate after death (almost akin to Cylons from Battlestar Galactica). These agents have a couple of superhero-style abilities –- namely an Incredible Hulk-like super strength, an incredibly high jumping ability, and a few other useful tricks such as more accuracy with weapons.
The plot is weak and ridden with clichés –- three violent street gangs have taken over Pacific City (a strange mashup of New York City, Los Angeles and Tokyo) and the government has sent this team of agents to clean up the streets aka blowing everyone up wearing gang paraphernalia and assassinating the kingpins of each gang. This threadbare plot is simply an excuse to run around Pacific City and do whatever you want. The game gives you things to do in the form of taking down bosses and driving and jumping in races, but much of the fun comes in jumping from rooftop to rooftop to collect orbs. The green agility orbs you collect increase your jumping skill until you go from a juiced up Carl Lewis-like leaper into a near Superman. Increasing your other skills is a lot like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion -– you level them up by simply using them a lot.
You gain strength, for instance, by taking down gang members with your hard-to-target roundhouse kick. In doing so, you receive extra health and you will eventually be able to pick up cars and dumpsters and other heavy objects and toss them to hilarious effect at your enemies.
Crackdown shines in these moments of spontaneity when you decide to use your superpowers for something fun and ridiculous. I remember one sublime moment where, in the heat of road rage, I chased down someone who cut me off in traffic, picked up their flashy sports car over my head, jumped and threw it over a bridge into the ocean.
This is even more entertaining when you play with a friend over Xbox Live. Crackdown marks the first time a sandbox game has been a cooperative experience, and after playing it, it's a wonder that it has never been done before. The thrill of going Crockett and Tubbs (well, maybe Batman and Robin considering your powers) and taking down gangsters together is undeniable.
Crackdown is entertaining enough that it's easy to look past the fact that the action is somewhat repetitive, the graphics are not much more than Playstation 2 quality, enemies tend to stand around and do nothing when you're around, it's often glitchy and buggy (the third part of the city looks unfinished), the ending feels perfunctory, and you'll beat the game in 10 to 15 hours. It will inevitably and probably deservedly be compared to Grand Theft Auto, but it's more fun, even if it's far less polished. Just like a good popcorn movie should be.

Un tocco italiano - Shopping
Rome is well known for its sumptuous shopping; there are areas of the city that dazzle with glamorous designer boutiques and palatial flagship stores, while in others the stores are small, quirky and full of character.
One of the Eternal City's most lusted-after areas is the so-called "Trident," formed by Via dei Condotti, Via Borgognona, Via Frattina and by the adjacent Spanish Steps.
Via Condotti
One of the most elegant street in the world with italian and international luxurious brands, fashion, shoes and jewellery
Via Borgognona
Home to a chic and expensive shopping area. Fashion houses can be found here including the offices of Laura Biagiotti
Via Frattina
One of the historic streets of the center of Rome offers high fashion showcases, décor and silverware shops, exclusive restaurants and the famous Bar Roma
Piazza di Spagna
Piazza di Spagna and Spanish Steps, one of Rome's main attractions, are synonymous with alta moda and luxury, thanks to the designer shops that lie on its surrounding streets.
Extend your walk take a look at the Palazzo Fendi in Largo Goldoni at the crossroads between Via Condotti and Via del Corso. Fendi occupies the entire 19th-century Palazzo Boncompagni Ludovisi, Fendi's biggest store in the world.
Rome's markets are a food lover's paradise, can be found in every rioni (or district) and are called mercati rionali, they are often the social center of the district.
if you're after a truly local food experience here you can taste the real flavour of the Eternal City.
Il mercatino di Porta Portese - Via di Porta Portese, 21
Porta Portese is the biggest market in Rome and one of the most famous markets in Italy and Europe for its multi-ethnicity and for finding the most unthinkable items. It is not a food market, but there are also stalls where it is possible to buy roasted peanuts, fried donuts and Puglia taralli.
The market opens every Sunday at 6:00 in the morning until 2:00 pm and the best deals are at the opening or closing time of the market. is one of the most colorful and characteristic places where today's atmosphere is typical of ancient Rome...but be careful!
Campo de' Fiori Market - Piazza Campo de' Fiori
The most central of all of Rome's fresh, produce markets, Campo de' Fiori has been hosting its morning market since 1869, when it moved from its previous location in Piazza Navona. Head to the more authentic seasonal fruit and vegetable stands in the southeast corner, and don't miss the wonderful cheese stall.
Testaccio Market - Via Beniamino Franklin
The market sells clothing, shoes and homewares, but the real focus is on the food, with excellent produce, meat and fish. There is also a wide range of streetfood stands selling sandwiches, pizza and fried snacks making it the perfect spot to combine shopping and eating.
Central Market - Via Giolitti 36 (Termini Station)
Every day from 8 am to midnight
The newly 'Mercato Centrale' is part of a huge regeneration of Termini Railway Station and the Mercato itself is actually located in 150 sq meters of the old 'dopo lavoro ferroviario' accessible from Via Giolitti. Some of the biggest food names in the city come together under one roof... combine this with a snack and you have a sense of a real market!
Esquilino Market - Via Filippo Turati, 160
One of the busiest food markets in the city, a short walk from Termini.
Inside you can find everything from ready-made snacks to pigs feet, cooking pots, spices and seasonal ingredients.
The market is notable for its size, but also its diversity.

- Competition: Average

100% up to $1,000 Bonus
It's one of the best options you've got as far as US online poker goes.
Online Poker in the US is a tricky business. So you've got to have some swagger about you to run a US-facing poker site for real money, let alone call it Americas Cardroom.
But the name is warranted, as US players are having no trouble depositing or cashing out.
The poker room's parent company is an established Sportsbook (also serving US players), so you're not dealing with a fly-by-night poker site here. They bought the old DoylesRoom poker room when decided to get out of the business in 2011 ( was scary for anyone running a US poker room). They rebranded it to AmericasCardroom, and aimed it directly as the US online poker market. Ballsy indeed.
I don't think it would be helpful to publish the name of the company here, but you can find it with a bit of Googling around.
This Sportsbook has a solid reputation for payouts and honoring bets. It's one of those companies where their website looks like it was built in the 90s, but they're reliable so people trust and use them for betting.
In a nutshell, this is as reliable as you're going to get for US poker.
A lot better than I expected. The Yatahay network (now called ) used to be a joke when it came to their poker room clients. But now their client looks great, although clearly borrowing a few design elements from PokerStars's client.
And by "borrowing a few design elements" I mean "ripping off". But I'm not one to judge.
热血传奇sfNonetheless, with a stylish table and smooth animations, it's a pleasure to play poker here. The audio however is horrendous, as it sounds like you're playing on a broken slot machine. But head over to the settings and you can fix the the problem (i.e. turn sounds off) in just a few clicks.
So yeah, the software is pretty and the settings have got all of the important stuff covered. Nice job.
Enough players here to keep the cash games running up to $600NL at peak times. So no, you're probably not going to have any trouble playing poker at the stakes you're currently playing at (or are looking to move up to).
热血传奇sfIt's slim-pickings at the High Stakes tables though ($1000NL+), as most open tables have been commandeered by sole regs waiting for a random fish to turn up.
Overall, traffic is good. It seems most US players who want to play poker online (and don't care for bitcoin poker热血传奇sf just yet) are playing at ACR.
热血传奇sfGood software, lots of traffic, what else could you want? Oh yeah, bad players.
I only played here at a $25NL FR table for about an hour, so I wouldn't say I have an intimate understanding of the general level of competition across the entire room.
Having said that, I did see plenty of shorter-stacked players coming and going, which is a good sign that at least some people don't really know what they're doing. I also witnessed 4 players call a $2.16 all-in from a short-stacked player before the flop, which is definitely more fun than optimal.
热血传奇sfIn a nutshell, if you're good at poker, there are enough bad players here to be able to make money. If you're bad at poker… best of luck.
The main deposit options for US players are:
- Credit Card
- Bitcoin
- Western Union
I didn't have any problems depositing or withdrawing. I used Bitcoin, so I imagine the more conventional banking options work equally as easily.
热血传奇sfAs usual the cashier opens up in a seperate window and looks ugly as hell, but it works, so that's all that matters. Plus as I say they accept Bitcoin, so it gets my nod of approval. *nods head approvingly*
Other Stuff
- Straddle Feature - This is a fun box to tick whilst seated at the table. Makes me feel like I'm playing on an episode of (best poker TV show ever). "If a player in the position after the Big Blind has the straddle button pressed he/she will pay a double blind automatically and will steal the BB player's position."
- Hand Replayer - Intelligent addition. If you're a smart poker player, which you are, you'll be happy to know that you can quickly and easily run through the hands you played in your last session. Works like a charm. Thanks ACR, you clearly know what you're doing here.
