nice mid=size by nwinner, Oregon on 08/31/2012. Trim: 2011 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X2, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: comfort, rides smooth, like the size.
Cons: not much pick up when passing. wondering how it is pulling a trailer?
Overall review: I like it. not bad on gas.
Review ID: #563829 Is this review offensive?
Loving my Liberty by Jay from right in the middle of Iowa on 09/30/2011. Trim: 2011 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I bought the Liberty because I was looking for a REAR WHEEL DRIVE to 4 wheel drive, V6 powered SUV that wasn't $35,000 or more, and wasn't Suburban sized. We have only had it about a month, but so far it's been great, Like the looks, like the ride, like the quality, and LOVE the Selec-Trac II system. Planning on taking the Grandson to Yellowstone next year, and the Liberty has opened up a whole new dimension to the trip.
Cons: The 4 speed automatic could use a better gear range, or go to a 5 or 6 speed auto The throttle by wire takes a little getting used to. When you lift off the gas pedal, fuel delivery is stopped, so it feels like you hit the brakes at the same time. Not complaining, just saying.
Overall review: Just an over-all fun vehicle to drive. I have owned three Chevy S-10 Blazers, which Chevy in all it's wisdom, quit making. The Liberty, I think, is going to be more than an adequate replacement vehicle. And besides....it's a JEEP.
Review ID: #554544 Is this review offensive?
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death by J from Jersey on 04/09/2011. Trim: 2011 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I've had my Liberty for a little over a month now, this is my first SUV. I have nothing but good things to say about this car so far. I have the Liberty Jet addition, with the leather seats and chrome trim. I love the way this car looks. Very comfortable seats and a lot of places for storage inside the car. I love the mud tray in the back of the car.
Cons: The only bad thing that I could say about this car is that the gas mileage is poor. However, I was expecting that when I purchased the car.
Overall review: I would absolutely recommend this car to people who want a mid-size SUV that doesn't resemble a minivan. Also for people who enjoy off roading and other outdoor activities.
Review ID: #551916 Is this review offensive?
a JEEP with class by Flavio from Venezuela on 05/04/2011. Trim: 2011 Jeep Liberty Limited 4X4, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Good to drive with the family
Cons: The engine is poor, it need more power to accelerate, a little more cargo space on the rear
Overall review: Good for the quality price relation
Review ID: #552255 Is this review offensive?
Better than the old Liberty by moparjae-PA on 03/29/2012. Trim: 2011 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X4, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Great in the snow , low and high 4wd
Cons: Poor city mpg. I doubt that I am getting the 16 mpg rating. Limited leg room for the driver and front passenger and hauling space with back seats folded down.
Overall review: Consumers Report provides bad ratings for the Liberty. However, I don't think that the poor rating is justified in all areas. However, Jeep needs to update the vehicle to compete with other brands in this class.

Dogs are everywhere and into everything – so they can get sick or suffer a knock or scrape without warning. From wounds and cuts through major accidents, disease and even un-scheduled foreign bodies that looked tasty at the time, Protect Your Bubble's dog insurance has it covered.
The Economy level policy is time-limited** with lower levels of cover for those watching the pennies. Standard and Premier levels are maximum benefit*** and offer higher cover and additional options.
Standard and Premier policies are more than just vet fee reimbursement. They also include boarding fees, death by accident or illness, accidental damage caused by your pet and cover for lost or stolen pets – including cover for advertising costs.
Pay for your cover in one lump sum, or spread the costs over 12 monthly payments. Whatever option you choose, we don't do hidden extras or interest charges – the cost remains exactly the same.
All dog policies include third party liability cover, in case your pooch manages to damage someone else's property, or even cause physical injury or death. No matter what policy level you pick, you are covered for up to £1m.
If you plan to take your dog with you on your travels, if you are travelling to a Member Country of the PETS Travel Scheme (long haul countries are excluded) your policy will cover up to 30 days on our Standard level and the full 12 months on Premier.
** A time-limited policy enables an owner to claim for eligible conditions, up to the specified amount, in a 12-month period. After that, no further pay-outs will be made for the same condition. This means that at the end of the 12 months you can renew the policy, but that particular condition will be excluded.

* Required Information
The JR® GSR260Z Sports FBL offers fans of gas powered helicopters the performance edge of flybarless control and more. Just like its trend-setting brother with flybar mechanics, the GSR260Z FBL offers smoother flight than ever thought possible. Robust duralumin-made frame offers a combination of strength and vibration abatement that will add to the fond impression you'll come to trust when flying through the giant aerobatic maneuvers capable with this helicopter.
Because it's powered with an economical Zenoah™ 26cc engine, reliability adds tremendously to the exceptional flight experience. Besides economy, the low maintenance aspect of this great-looking machine also has enormous appeal especially to the RC pilot wanting to grow precision performance skill sets.
Underneath the stylish fiberglass stream-lined body is a high-power Zenoah 26cc gas engine. The extra torque from the gas engine is put to use turning large 810mm blades which are included with the kit. Handling the load of the low-profile design are beautiful high-strength, all-metal mechanics JR is famous for, plus the GSR260Z incorporates robust helical gears for peace-of-mind and that also produces less noise.
JR is a name well known for ergonomics and that priority follows the helicopter line. A fuel tank cap makes for easy re-fueling, and a pull-cord for the engine makes startups quick. Plus the GSR260Z Sports combo package is loaded with standard features including the stunning fiberglass fuselage set.
Included items: - Carbon 810mm main rotor blades (XB810) - Zenoah 26cc gasoline engine (G260PUH-1) - Muffler (JRM260S)

@betajet: "Thank you for contributing this week's dose of nostalgia."
You're welcome! When I'm not reading SciFi I'm reading history.
@betajet: "A Pascal semicolon is a statement separator. You put it between statements. Thou shalt never place a semicolon in front of "else". In contrast, a C semicolon is a statement terminator."
Coming from a PL/I background I probably thought of it as a terminator, thinking of "else" as a separate statement (line). My brief encounter with Pascal was 30-some-odd years ago.
I try to write code so I can follow it a later time (somewhat self-documenting), using indenting. I would write: if (x >= 0) y = x; else y = -x; in two lines as:
if (x >= 0) y = x; else y = -x;"
I can see how if you read the Pascal statement from left-to-right it's almost a complete sentence, not broken down into separate steps like above:
if x >= 0 then y:= x else y:= -x
but, "OTOH, in C you can write "y = x >= 0? x: -x;" is great for compact syntax and saving space back when disk space was dear. But hey, it was written by system programmers looking for something between assembler and a high level language. I hope to learn it and play with it some day (I like the bit where you can stuff in some assembler or machine code in-line; a hacker's dream (from the original def of hacker).

Fashion Friday
Forget spring break.. I am SPRING BROKE.
I went into Merge boutique this week for my fashion find, because well, money was a little tight. Everything in Merge boutique is under $50, so if you're looking to score something awesome that's not gonna break your bank before pay-day, I definitely suggest stopping in.
I had in my mind that I wanted to find something to rock for St. Patty's day, but then I found this.
As I'm sure you're aware, my photog skills are not the best. It's a festive mullet dress (business in the front, party in the back) that has an orange and red top with a blue skirt.
Sadly, it has no traces of green.. BUT, it was the perfect drinking/crawfish dress for party on the patio.
I also LOVED that one.. so ladies, if you don't have #bustygirlproblems. GET IT. Super flattering and a great cut, if you can zip it. Haha.
I have a bunch of other pictures to upload, because SUMMER is coming and Merge has bathing suits and bathing suit covers, but my phone IS NOT WORKING.
So, while I wait for that nonsense to get its s together, I present to you a charity fashion show featuring Pine and Merge.
Find Merge on Harvey Road by Al's Formal Wear, or do a little browsing on their facebook page.
Happy Friday!

Moon residents today may notice new signs dotting township yards and roadways.
"You always hear people say, 'Support our troops,'" said Brian Schill, public relations director for the Military Affairs Coalition of Western Pennsylvania. "Well, these signs say support your troops. And that 'your' is in bold (lettering)."
Schill said the coalition hopes Moon-area residents, business owners and public officials will rally behind the township-based 911th Airlift Wing and Air National Guard 171st Refueling Wing. The group will place more than 100 signs throughout the township today, protesting the U.S. Air Force's plan to shutter the 911th and reduce the aircraft fleet of the 171st.
The Air Force announced plans in February to close the 911th in the coming months and each of its C-130 aircraft as a part of a $4.7 billion military restructuring plan. The 171st is also slated for a realignment under the initiative, losing as many as four of its KC-135 refueling tankers.
"The real gist of the coalition is that we really want to make sure that the Air Force is making an informed decision in closing the 911th," Schill said. "We're not trying to save the 911th at all costs. We're just saying—look at the data and see if this makes sense."
Military and civilian personnel on the base today expect to receive their future assignments from the Air Force. Schill said he is hopeful that the Pentagon will delay closing the wing and re-examine its data.
"But if not, it's not over till it's over," Schill said. "We'll continue to do what we're doing until the door closes. As a minimum, we'd like this go before Congress and let it go through the (base realignment and closure) system again."
The 911th has been targeted for closure by the Air Force twice before, in 1995 and 2005. Local and Congressional officials have argued that the Air Force is not authorized to close the 911th because of a regulation that requires congressional approval to shutter a base employing more than 300 civilian personnel.
Much of the coalition's efforts have focused on working alongside the state's Congressional delegation to prevent the closure. Pennsylvania lawmakers in recent weeks have met with military leaders in Washington D.C. to the decision to close the base.
"Fortunately, we've not had to lobby to get our congressional representatives involved," said Manager Jeanne Creese, who represents the township in the coalition. "They immediately recognized the issue."
Creese said the closure of the 911th could have a direct impact on the township's economy.
"It's a part of the fabric of our community," she said the 911th. "It's a concern to our hotels, our restaurants, our shops. The people who are stationed on that base, many of them choose to live in our community."
Sally Haas, president of the Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce, has as many as 2,500 jobs in the Pittsburgh International Airport corridor may be lost if the Air Force finalizes the closure.
"I always say, they're your hometown Air Force," said Schill of the 911th and the 171st bases. "A lot of people say support your troops, and this is a time to do it."

too wide My own fault, I wear a narrow but thought, with a good insert, that these would be a good choice. The shoe is cute and I like it but my heel slips out when I walk in these.

Loved the look of these but just too narrow for my foot. I am sorry because they were just what I am looking for. August 7, 2014
Wonderful walking shoes! Reading the reviews of the AK Sport Freedom Sneakers, I bought a pair last April for a trip overseas -- I needed a comfortable shoe for all day touring. I ordered the black pair and they were wonderful! Very comfortable for all day walking, and looked great with a pair of dress slacks to go out to dinner in the evening. Well worth the price! When I noticed they were now on sale, I bought TWO more pairs, one in black and one in taupe. I will take them on a trip this fall. Another reason I bought two more pairs, is that I'm afraid they will become unavailable in the future. They are wonderful, not like "sneakers" at all. July 10, 2014
Good looking and very comfortable I really like these shoes. I usually wear a wide width but these work for me. They don't look like gym shoes, but I wear them for workouts, shopping and errands. I plan to wear them on the plane to Europe next month and also for sightseeing. February 12, 2012
Blisters, Anyone? At first try, this pair of shoes seemed to fit fine. However, 45 minutes of walking produced nasty blisters on the back of each heel! Unfortunately, too late to return, having worn them on the street. July 10, 2014
Very Comfortable Shoe The shoes fit well, they are lightweight and stylish. July 3, 2014
AK sport freedom sneakers This is my second pair of these shoes and I absolutely love them. They are sharp looking with jeans or long pants, and are extremely comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a comfortable walking shoe. April 2, 2014
Most Comfortable walking shoe! I bought this shoe a week before leaving for Paris and wore this shoe every day! It was so comfortable and stylish, as well as light and easy to pack in my one carry-on bag. I wore it walking all over Paris from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe to the Eiffel Tower! Even wore it with my long black skirt and sportier dresses. Would definitely recommend! May 4, 2014

Aah! Top 5 Natural Linen Sprays
& Air Fresheners
Sometimes the air in my home needs a little freshening up. During temperate months, I simply open a window, but when cold weather threatens to chill my bones, I use linen or air freshening sprays.They're so handy around the home, and work well on kid and pet odors, upholstery, linens and even clothing.
That said, I try to be discerning about scented products because the EPA says that indoor air quality in the average American home is 200% – 500% more polluted than the air just outside. Febreeze, Glade and most scented candles are not your friend. Because fragrance is a significant contributor to indoor air pollution, here are my latest picks to freshen up your home.
As far as indoor air pollution and toxicity goes, the word "fragrance" is a red flag. As a rule of thumb, "fragrance" is bad, "oil" is good. So look for words like "lavender oil" or "citrus oil."
Eco-Friendly DIY:
It's easy to make your own linen spray or air freshener. All it takes is water and a few drops of essential oil of your favorite fragrance. Simply reuse an empty spray bottle from a product you already own. Fill it up with the two ingredients. Give it a shake, and you're done. I like lavender and peppermint oils.
Or you can pick up one of the linen sprays and air fresheners shown above:
1. Aussan Natural Room Odor Eliminator, $6.29
2. Earth Friendly Products Uni-Fresh Air Freshener, Lavender Scent, $4.99
3. Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Mist, Peppermint Harvest, $5.81
4. PureAyre Odor Eliminator For Your Home, $6.59
5. Bath Petals Room Spray, Australian Eucalyptus, $12.99
• Make It: 2 Ingredient Air Freshener
• All-Natural, Effective Air Freshener Febreze Alternatives?

Or you can make your own....
-mix one part distilled water with one part really cheap vodka (@10 bucks for a big jug) in a spray bottle.
-add drops of favorite essential oil(s) until you like the intensity of the fragrance. (usually around 20-30 drops in a quart bottle does the trick.)
I was wondering, what do I do with my unfinished Febreze (I just not a natural air fragrance by coincidence)? Do I slip it into someone's home for them to use instead or do I just throw it out and save the air but be wasteful?
The thought of not opening your windows but using a spray doesn't sound very appealing to me... Rooms that are damp are also more difficult to heat up, so I always open my windows in the morning, if only for 10 minutes. It's easier to heat them up afterwards.
Opening the windows is my favorite way to freshen and clean out the air in my home. Even in the winter if I open the window for 5 minutes it makes my home feel fresher.
Vinegar mixed with lemon juice works well too among other natural air fresheners.
Juniper Ridge room sprays are amazing! I have Big Sur scent and I love it. Lasts but isn't overpowering.
Where are these available to try in person? I'm loathe to order something scented online.
i am curious (miabica or whomever) why use vodka as an ingredient in the diy air fresheners. not opposed just curious what this does.
and i love to freshen our house by opening windows in winter (central KY) - esp the bedroom.

Fertility Help: How Long Should You Wait to Seek It?
The Scoop
According to a recent patient survey conducted by a leading nationwide fertility clinic, after first experiencing problems conceiving, nearly 30 percent of fertility patients waited two or more years before seeking out help from a fertility specialist. Released November 16, 2010, the survey of 7,200 men and women also revealed that nearly two-thirds of fertility patients self-diagnosed their fertility issues, while only about one-third was diagnosed by a healthcare professional. And of those surveyed who did not go through fertility treatment, two-thirds cited their decision not to seek treatment was based on an assumption that the cost of fertility treatment would be prohibitive.
"What the study shows us is the tremendous need for fertility education," says Maureen Gill Higgins, RN, MSN, WHNP, and director of Clinical Operations at Attain Fertility Centers, the clinic that conducted the survey. "A significant percentage of patients are waiting too long to see a specialist. We don't want anyone to wait two years or more. The sooner a fertility specialist finds and addresses any problems, the faster a patient can move along the path to becoming a parent. It's all about early intervention."
Your Fertility
How do you know when it's time to seek help for fertility issues? It's a good idea to meet with your healthcare provider for a general preconception checkup to discuss any health issues that could affect your chances for becoming pregnant. The clinical definition of infertility is a person under the age of 35 who has been trying, unsuccessfully, to get pregnant for more than 12 months; or a person 35 or older who has been trying, unsuccessfully, to get pregnant for more than six months.

Man admits to trespassing on school groundsJuly 09,2013BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man will spend a year on probation after admitting Monday to being at the Southwest Vermont Career Development Center on May 8 in violation of a no trespass order.
Brandon T. Billings, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful trespass. Billings was sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones to serve 45 to 60 days in jail, but all of that time was suspended.
In an affidavit, Deputy Roscoe Harrington of the Bennington County Sheriffs Department said he was notified that Billings was at the career development center, which shares a campus with Mount Anthony Union High School, by the high schools head of security.
Harrington said several students had reported that Billings was sitting on the steps outside the career development center.
Billings had been served with a court order on June 14, 2011, that said he was not to be at the career development center or the high school.
Harrington said when he checked the steps, Billings was not there but video surveillance footage showed Billings had been on school grounds.
According to an affidavit, Billings admitted on May 16 that he had been at the school but said he thought the court order had expired.MORE IN This Just InAn alleged fight outside a bar between Red Sox and Yankees fans has led to the suspension of two...

EPA says a former circuit board manufacturer called Circuit Board Assemblers may be a source of water contamination in Wake Forest.
The tainted water in Wake County has a lot of homeowners, including Cathy Novak, fired up.
Novak asked, "Do we get a copy of our results?"
She's among dozens of people who live in Wake Forest, who came to the Stony Hill Baptist Community Center to get answers from the Environmental Protection Agency.
"We're just up the road from one of the sites that is contaminated, and I wanted to find out if our well tests had come back clean," Novak said.
EPA Emergency Coordinator Kenneth Rhame showed Novak and other concerned residents a color-coded map of their neighborhoods.
"The red borders are the ones that we've sampled where we did have detects," Rhame pointed out.
The EPA's map shows where it tested wells for trichloroethylene, also called TCE. The agency found the cancer-causing chemical in 21 Wake Forest water wells.
The EPA believes a toxic plume of the chemical is underground. It confirmed Monday the likely source is a former company called Circuit Board Assemblers, which used to be on South Stony Hill Road in Wake Forest.
"It was a property that did circuit board assembly, and used the solvents as a cleaning agent on circuit boards," Rhame explained.
Though Wake County and the state Department of Environmental Resources first found traces of TCE in a Wake Forest well in 2005, it has taken until this year for the EPA to get involved.
"Knowing that our water's clean is great; but if it's in the groundwater, will our water stay clean? That's our personal concern," Novak said.
Monica and Mark Stonefield weren't as lucky.
"We were told that if we showered we would need to jump in, get wet, lather up, turn the water off, rinse, grab our towel, run out," Monica Stonefield said.
The EPA brought them bottled water and installed a filter.
"Our property value is basically zero at this point," Monical Stonefield said.
Novak added, "I certainly feel for the families that have the very high contamination numbers, and know that those homes were recently built."
The church community center will continue to operate as an emergency response center for the EPA through Friday. It's expecting at least 12 more results from Wake Forest homes Tuesday.
There are at least 2,000 sites statewide where DENR knows there is TCE contamination that is likely spreading into the water of unsuspecting families. More>>

Doughnut muffins are gorgeous, light and fluffy, sweetly cinnamon scented, dipped in melted butter and rolled in glorious cinnamon sugar, I struggle to think of anything more wonderful than a Doughnut muffin warm from the oven....
Baking my favourite doughnut muffins in my William Sonoma Doughnut Cake Tin was a stroke of genius if I do say so myself. The cake is totally scrumptious and it really does look like a giant sugary doughnut.
The William Sonoma doughnut is made in two parts, (you layer two doughnut halves together to make a doughnut shaped cake) but I only used one of the tins, or one half of the doughnut to make this cake. It is therefore far smaller than a standard bundt cake, this is no bad thing if you are likely to eat the entire thing yourself like me!
You can of course use any bundt tin you have but I'd recommend doubling the recipe to adequately fill a 10-12 cup bundt tin.
Doughnut Bundt Cake
Recipe adapted from - How to: Simplify
(Makes 1 small Bundt Cake or 12 Muffins)
For the cake:
1 3/4 cup plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
For the coating:
1/4 -1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 170C and grease your chosen bundt pan or muffin tin well.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
Combine the oil, sugar, egg and milk in a large bowl. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir only to combine. (Do not worry about lumps, worry about over mixing).
Place in the preheated oven for around 30 minutes for a small bundt and 15-20 minutes for muffins or until a cake tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.
While the cake is baking make the coating, melt the butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
Once the cake is baked remove it from the oven and turn out onto a cooling rack immediately, or as soon as you can. Brush the entire cake with melted butter and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar (you may not need it all).
This Doughnut Bundt Cake is jaw dropping eaten warm, straight from the oven but it is also fabulous the next day. I particularly like to toast slices under the grill and spread them with butter and jam. The breakfast of champions!

It seems that everyone has the key to what ails desktop virtualization these days.
With all manner of solutions hitting the channel, it's becoming increasingly difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to centralizing desktop infrastructure.
One thing is for sure, however: Now that enterprises are scrambling to accommodate the growing variety of client devices in the work force, attaining some kind of working virtual desktop system has become a top priority. According to Barclays Capital, more than half of top CIOs are on board with desktop virtualization, and nearly a quarter are knee-deep in the planning or deployment phase.
For the IT industry at large, then, the central question surrounding virtual desktops is no longer what to do, but how to do it. And it's in this phase of the technology's evolution where we should see once and for all whether it has a future in enterprise infrastructure.

SAN DIEGO — Everything became perfectly clear Sunday at Torrey Pines. Tiger Woods was on his game and headed toward yet another win.
Woods seized control in the fog-delayed Farmers Insurance Open with a strong driving performance that carried him to a 3-under-par 69 and a four-shot lead after the third round. Even when he got wild off the tee late in the chilly afternoon of the fourth round, he still made birdies to stretch his lead to six shots when play was suspended by darkness.

Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal (PC)
In some ways, I'm probably the worst person possible to review this game.
For one, I've never played any of the original Monkey Island games. Call me a delinquent game journalist if you must, but despite the never-ending seas of critical praise for LucasArts' classic PC adventure series, I've never bothered to figure out the Secret, cure the Curse, or try to Escape from Monkey Island (much less fend off LeChuck's Revenge).
While I've hung around enough gamers to recognize the name Guybrush Threepwood and the joys of Insult Swordfighting, I'm definitely not part of the nostalgia-influenced market Telltale is targeting with this remake. This worried me a bit going into this review -- I feared the game would be full of references to characters and events from a decade-old series I had no experience with. To Telltale's credit, while I feel like I missed a few obvious inside jokes directed at Monkey Island veterans, for the most part Tales of Monkey Island works well as an introduction to the series.
The second reason I'm the wrong person to review this game is that I generally hate adventure games. Well, that's not quite true. I start out liking most of them. I enjoy meeting the quirky and irreverent characters, clicking around the quirky and irreverent world, reading quirky and irreverent descriptions of everyday items, and picking up a bunch of quirky and irreverent inventory items and using them in quirky and irreverent (but somehow logical) ways. Things went along in this manner for a while in Tales of Monkey Island's first episode, Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, and while I wouldn't call its puzzles especially challenging or interesting, it was at least mildly diverting.
My problem with adventure games comes when I invariably get stuck. It never fails: I'll be an hour or two into an enjoyable adventure, solving whatever comes with a few clicks and a few chuckles, until I come to a puzzle that just refuses the easy answers that have come so far. Usually it's a situation where I can understand generally what the game is asking me to do -- use a fresh fish to open the door, to pick a completely fictional example -- but I just can't figure out how the game wants me to do it.
In the real world, of course, I'd have options. I could go to the store to buy a fish. I could go fishing in the river. I could ask for a loan from my friend who happens to have an aquarium. In adventure games, though, I have to come up with the single, specific solution the designer has created for the problem, and this solution is always -- in my experience -- some overly clever, counterintuitive, quirky, irreverent, too-cute-by-half mess. Which is worth a decent chuckle when you stumble upon the solution quickly ("OH! I have to make the fish out of TOFU!"), but when you don't -- well, I hope you have some other interesting game to play.
I got hopelessly stuck in this manner twice in my few hours with Launch of the Screaming Narwhal. Both times I generally knew what was expected of me, but didn't know how to do it within the game's twisted logic and limited (read: point-and-click) controls. Both times I tried using the obvious items in my inventory with no luck. Both times I slowly got more desperate, running around the sleepy little island that provides the game's setting for hours, hours, using my items on everything in sight in the hopes that something, anything, would happen. Both times the solution involved clicking an on-screen item that I hadn't been aware was clickable -- despite running my mouse pointer over every screen this tiny little game had to offer.
Maybe this was my personal failing as a player rather than a failing of the game design. Maybe I would have been able to save myself the grief by using a FAQ, if I were playing the post-release version of the game (rather than a pre-release review copy). Regardless, my first thought wasn't "I can't believe I missed this clever but, in retrospect, logical solution," but rather "I can't believe I wasted so much time when it was just a matter of clicking that specific piece of scenery. I'll never get that time back again. I hate this stupid game!"
So, with Tales of Monkey Island's puzzles falling squarely in the "mind-numbingly easy" camp or the "mind-numbingly frustrating" camp, the appeal of the game rests solely on the story and world. Here, the game performs passably but not extraordinarily. The plot has enough surprising and plain bizarre twists to remain interesting, if not gripping. The characters are amusingly odd and presented with entertainingly stereotypical voice acting, but never develop into anything more than interesting props to use in solving puzzles. The writing forces cheesy jokes into practically every line -- the kind that your dad would tell if he were suddenly obsessed with pirates. The humor -- equal parts ironic detachment, pop culture references, slapstick and "Arrrrrr, pirates be soundin' funny!" -- is the kind that makes you grin more often than it makes you laugh out loud.
When the difficulty of some of these puzzles drives you to drink, it probably won't be the root beer shown.
The game does gain points for including the line, "It's amazing how many of life's problems are solved by indiscriminate cannon fire," which I plan to put on my epitaph. And by the time the first episode ends on a mild cliffhanger, you'll probably be interested and amused enough to want to see what happens in Episode 2. That is, if you've gotten that far without tearing your hair out in frustration.
But what do I know? I don't have any business reviewing this game anyway.
This review is based on a review build of the PC game provided by the publisher.

Hi I am hoping someone can answer this. i am not a sql pro but i know my way around it. i have currently set up excel reports to pull back data from a single off site sql database, but what i need is to run the same report across 300 sites and get back only the results i need. EG.. show me all sites where the fire door has been opened more then 5 times, currently i run the report on 2 sites and it pulls the data back down to me then querys it, but as you can imagine it takes a very long time. does any one have any other ideas? eg tell the sql to run the report locally then transmit only the data i have asked forCheers
asked Jul 26, 2011 at 02:23 AM in Default
You could use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This would allow you to turn your "pull" mechanism inside excel into a "push" mechanism. The report data would be on the central server, this can then be rendered into excel (or a number of other formats) and sent via email to the people who should receive it.
This would allow the slow transport of the information to be done at a time when the end-user doesn't necessarily have to wait on it (deliver before office hours).
This is one example of an SSRS tutorial at [MSSQLTips.com][1][1]: http://www.mssqltips.com/tutorial.asp?tutorial=222
answered Jul 26, 2011 at 02:36 AM
eep - a SSRS report with 300 data sources..?!
Jul 26, 2011 at 02:48 AM Fatherjack ♦♦
I understood it as a report with 300 targets. The source is a central box/database.
But still "eep"Some sort of data driven subscription?
Jul 26, 2011 at 02:52 AM WilliamD
Taking a slightly different approach - If I understand you correctly, you're using Excel as a data destination, and I suspect pulling all the records back and getting excel to query them. This is slow.
Using Excel 2007, I found that the data connection could be modified and changed from a table to an SQL type, allowing me to put the query in there - which was then passed as an (unchanged) SQL query to the database. This allows you to tune your query a little better, and only receive back the rows that you are interested in.
(Data menu -> Connections -> Select connection -> Properties -> Definition tab -> Command type = SQL, and type in the correct SQL syntax)Did I interpret your situation correctly?
answered Jul 26, 2011 at 05:41 AM

@Dave_Green you can fine tune the queries even in previous versions of Excel. :-)
Jul 26, 2011 at 05:48 AM Pavel Pawlowski
@Pavel Pawlowski - Absolutely; Excel 2007 was just what I had to hand at the time!

Today, I voiced my first piece for Wisconsin Public Radio about Wisconsin lottery sales increasing nearly 11 percent over the past five years.
Five newspapers, representing four countries, have been named the World's Best-Designed Newspaper by the Society for News Design in its 33rd annual competition.
The winners:
Excelsior, Mexíco City, Mexíco
Cir. 75,000 – 174-999 (Daily)
National Post, Toronto, ON, Canada
Cir. 75,000 – 174-999 (Daily)
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Cir. 175,000 & over (Non-Daily)
The Grid, Toronto, ON, Canada
Cir. 25,000 – 74,000 – 74,999 (Non-Daily)
Politiken, Copenhagen, Denmark
Cir. 75,000 – 174-999 (Daily)
From the judges' statement (via SND):
The formula for excellence will always be less about format and typography than about the unreserved commitment to the community of readers that newspapers serve and clarity about the nature and interests of those readers. What is a perfect look for an audience in Beijing or Oslo will not likely be perfect for an audience in Buenos Aires or Charlotte. A newspaper must find the voice that speaks clearly to its unique audience of readers, and the best newspapers will always do so.
That's what all of these World's Best newspapers share — a certainty about who their audiences are and a bold, sure-footed approach to reaching them. All have a unique voice. All are superb. All share a commitment to print that other newspapers should emulate. They never waste a page, never waste their readers' time. These newspapers look healthy, well-staffed and richly resourced — even if they are not. It was inspiring to see international journalists who still believe in excellence in print.
Hello, beautiful.

[R]ally, rally and rally behind great comrade Kim Jong Un and faithfully uphold his leadership.
An editorial in Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's main newspaper, urges the country to rally around Kim Jong Un.
It also appears that Kim Jong Un will be known as "Outstanding Leader". Not quite as epic as his grandfather's "Great Leader," or as cosy as his father's "Dear Leader" but linguistically fabulous nonetheless.
If the moniker holds, it will update earlier ones such as "Brilliant Comrade" and "Great Successor" that were used before his father's death.
Slate has a great explainer on the nicknames given to North Korea's leaders. They originate — and perhaps this flows better in the Korean — in the Department of Propaganda and Agitation.

The End of Egypt's Revolution, or the Start of Its Second?
CAIRO, Egypt — Mina Daniel's mother slumped over his coffin, sobbing and imprecating him one final time.
"We were supposed to be going to your wedding," she keened, slapping her face and thighs in grief. Before he was killed, her son had assured her he would fine. "Don't be afraid of the shooting, they are just trying to scare us," he told her.
Mina, 25, was killed on October 9 outside Maspero, the headquarters of Egyptian state television and the symbol of the dictatorship's propaganda leviathan. According to his autopsy, one bullet smashed the back of Mina's head while another entered his shoulder, ripped through his lungs, and exited his back. He died within moments, but has fast become the symbol of what Egyptian activists hopefully call "the second revolution."
His mother, Nadia Faltas Beshara, grieved as any mother would. She covers her head and speaks with the inflection of Upper Egypt, where she lived before moving to a working-class suburb north of Cairo where many poor Christians live. She is a stark riposte to the false claim that Egypt's revolutionaries are feckless bourgeois, armchair socialists.

For 28 years, Mississippi sheriffs have asked the legislature for
approval to run radar on county roads. Every time, the bill has died.
Another attempt will be made this year. Sheriffs say the tool will help
save lives.
The city of Biloxi has run radar for years. Police Chief John Miller wouldn't have it any other way.
"It's very effective. It would be very difficult for us to continue do to our jobs, traffic enforcement the way we do without radar," Miller said.
Does it slow people down and save lives? Officer John Doucet works in traffic enforcement for Biloxi.
"When people see you, if they're not speeding, they'll even slow down under the speed limit. And when people are speeding over a certain amount, they'll slow back down to the speed limit," Doucet explained.
It doesn't take long to prove his point. A stop is made and a ticket issued. Doucet said there's an added benefit to radar.
"It's another effective tool for us because when we do stop someone for speeding, we come across people that wanted on misdemeanor warrants for our city or other cities. We even come across people that are wanted on felony warrants."
One of the reasons a county radar bill has died in the legislature for the past 28 years is some lawmakers, especially ones from rural counties, say it's nothing more than a money grab for cash starved sheriffs. Harrison County Sheriff Melvin Brisolara disagrees with that assessment.
"If a citation is issued, I don't really know where the money goes to," Brisolara said. "I know parts of the citation goes to the state, parts of it go the general fund in the county, but it doesn't go directly to the sheriff's office. And they can appropriate the money to go anywhere they want it to. It doesn't need to be coming to the sheriff's office. You don't need a reason to get out there and run radar other than to save lives."
With seven deaths in the county last year, he said the danger is growing.
"Our growth is in the rural areas of Harrison County and we have no way to controls speeds. These open long rural roads are turning into dragstrips," Brisolara implored.
The bill that will be introduced this year will allow radar to be run in the state's five largest counties. That's includes both Harrison and Jackson counties on the coast.

We were hit by a hacker a couple of months ago so I had to re-install the site and things have been a bit funky for awhile. But I've finally got some time to get it together and hopefully everything is functional again.
As you can see there are some changes:
- I've added a "top bloggers" list to the side which is where active bloggers will be listed. If you join the site and add blog entries on anything close to a regular basis then your entries will be featured here.
- A lot a less ads. I've removed all of the Google AdSense ads as they were cluttering the site and barely making any money anyway.
- A bit more of a generic look but I think maybe it looks better anyway. I had to delete the old custom theme because of the hacking BS and start over again with the basic wordpress. On the plus side that means things are a bit more updated looking and more hacker-proof (this is not an invitation to prove me wrong as I'm not too confident about that anyway.)
- I'll be adding more stuff in the coming days. If you're a contributor (or a reader) and have any suggestions then leave a comment below.
