So many things inspire me! But I go back to the things that got me started in the first place. Fine art, popular culture, the history of colour worldwide, and travelling.
How are you applying the wax? It's either too little or too much. Applying wax is like applying handcream. You have to work it into your hands! I have just brought out a totally wonderful - in my opinion, wax brush that will really really help make application as easy as pie!
Fragrances! I have just brought out a beautiful line of candles and room fragrances inspired by 6 wonderful locations in France to complement my colours. Antibes, Aubusson, Paris, Versailles, Provence and Burgundy. All available in North America from April! That leads me on to Burgundy one of my new colours which I am working on launching in North America soon.
The wax protects the paint and gives it a lovely finish. It will make it durable when cured but it's not a coat of steel. Even if you wrote on unwaxed or waxed wood, it would mark so take care when writing on your table.
I certainly do!! I go to the shop every day and work in my studio at the back, either painting, planning, drawing or writing my books! I have to walk through the shop to get there so I nearly always get caught with a phone call if the others are busy or with a customer! I love it!!
I was just in Canada in October where I did two big Home Shows and I talked and demonstrated! And I was in California in April and I opened 2 new stores and signed books. I'd love to do more, but I am so busy this year with 2 new books I am writing.
Yes I am writing a book right now on colour and style. I have been photographing in houses in Sweden, Amsterdam, and England so far for the book. SO SO SO inspiring. we are just at the beginning! Loads to do and it will be out in October! AARGH!
Thanks for the idea.
Well the way I would do it is to use my Decoupage/Transfer Medium for it. Have a look in my Colour Recipes book. There's a whole project there!
Favourite! I have no favourites because it's just what gets me going at any one time! It might be that the furniture dictates something or I see an image I want to use. Or a colour combo inspires me!
And as to a smooth finish? Of course! You need to use a smooth flat brush like the one I have just launched and will be available in North America very soon. I also add a little water to the paint so it flows beautifully!
Yes why not! Just think of the colur that would work with the wood colour. ie if the wood is warm maybe paint it in a cooler colour such as one of the blues or greys. Post a picture on my Facebok page when you've done it!
Just repaint! No need to apply mineral spirits - in fact that will soften the wax and make it more difficult to paint over - so just get painting. Have you considered doing a wash over the Barcelona with Versailles? I think that'd look terrific!
Don't be scared! Just go for it. It's just paint! I'ts easy and it's very forgiving!
Yep! You need to wax it to protect and to give it a beautiful mellow look. If you want it to be matte then just rub the wax in and don't polish it. If you want it to be shiny then leave it until the next day and then polish it for a beauful easy obtained shine.
Cream, blue and chocolate? I'd go for a wall in Aubusson Blue. I'd even wax it- a bit of a job but so so sophisticated looking! I know that Aubusson is not a neutral but it would sort of look like it!
Great question Stacey! I go to an art gallery and see an exhibition. The last one I went to that gave me a real boost was a show in London on an artist called Paul Klee, who I had admired for a very long time. His work resparked so many ideas! Not every show gets me going so much but there's often a colour combo or texture that inpires me.
Yes. You are in luck. The local chapter of ASID - the Washington Metro chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers - is having their annual design event right now. They are offering local residents a one or two hour consultation with an interior designer for $100 an hour. It's called Spring Spruce Up and it's a great way to get some advice and feedback and meet designers you might want to work with. For more information and how to sign up go to www.asiddcmetro.org.
Yay! Painting fabric is such fun with my paint! So the key is to add lots of water! I just dip my brush in the water and rub it into the fabric on the chair and then follow it up with some paint. There's a terrific video of me paintiing some fabric on an American TV show on my Annie Sloan YouTube channel. Have a look!
I do not know the answer to this so an throwing it out for our very informed audience to reply. Anyone?
If you find the cream not 'clean' enough for you maybe add some Pure White and maybe a little bit of English Yellow too. Mixing colour is so enjoyable and all Annie Sloan stockists are trained in colour mixing.
They are all based on pigments and the colours of old and modern furniture paint. And yes, I am working on bringing out Burgundy in North America soon. I have other colours up my sleeve, but they are staying there for now!!
Yes, it is zero VOC. It's a water based paint and completely non toxic. No precautions are needed. When you use my wax, like all waxes, you need to work in a place that has a good flow of air.
Yes and yes!
A great combo of Greek Blue, Antibes Green and then some Old White or Pure added. Greens and blues are the way to go!
I always add clear wax first then apply the dark - more wriggle room so I can change my mind and make it darker or lighter as I work.
Hi Kity. It just does!! Try it and you will see!
What a terrific idea. I would paint them with the light on so you can see what the brush marks are doing. Then I would leave it and not wax. They will be lovely and matte.

Crawford Recovering from Sprained Ankle
Class A Clearwater shortstop J.P. Crawford has not played since Monday because of a sprained left ankle.
It is not believed to be serious. Crawford reportedly felt better Saturday.
"I'm not sure how much longer it is going to take," Ruben Amaro Jr. said before today's game against the Giants at AT&T Park. "We're not overly concerned."
Crawford is the top player prospect in the organization. The 19-year-old is hitting .274 with four doubles, six home runs, 18 RBIs and a .743 OPS in 48 games with Clearwater since a midseason promotion from Class A Lakewood.
Rollins Is Hit King, Talks Future with Phillies
Jimmy Rollins has more to accomplish, and it sounds like he hopes to accomplish those things in Philadelphia.
He reached a big one this afternoon when he singled to right field in the fifth inning in a 7-3 victory over the Cubs at Citizens Bank Park. It was the 2,235th hit of his career, which moved him past Mike Schmidt as the franchise's hits leader.
"I'm not done," Rollins said afterward. "Hopefully we can bring another championship to the city if I'm here long enough and the rest will be the rest."
That is the question, isn't it? Will Rollins be here long enough? He is signed through this season with an $11 million option that automatically vests with just 156 more plate appearances this season.
He will hit that mark with ease.
In fact, he should fly past that mark before the July 31 Trade Deadline, which brings up the biggest question of all. Rollins has 10-and-5 rights, so he can veto any trade at any time for any reason. He said last July in Detroit he would not waive his rights because he wanted to break the hits record.
Well, he has it. He also is playing on a team that, despite four wins in five games this week, is just 29-37 and on pace to lose 91 games following an 89-loss season in 2013 and an 81-loss season in 2012. Five consecutive National League East championships, two National League pennants and one World Series championship between from 2007-11 seems like a distant memory.
If the Phillies hold a fire sale next month would Rollins maintain his no-trade stance?
"It really depends if everything is blown up," Rollins said. "Then you take that into consideration. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that right now. But if that time does come, and it's time to go … people move on."

Does flu season ever end? If you're lucky enough to have avoided a few days of misery with the flu this season, congrat's! While thinking about hitting the gym and the prospect of getting sick there, I flashed back to a vintage Fitness Friday that still makes sense. Start flashback:
I'm sick; and I blame the creepy, sweaty guy who feigned friendliness by relinquishing the Stairmaster when he was actually and deliberately spreading the bubonic plague. Yes: that guy was the monkey from Outbreak, starring Dustin Hoffman, and he was really sweaty. Now, I'm really sick.
With that in mind, this Fitness Friday is dedicated to staying healthy while getting fit.
Step 1: Treasure your towel. If the world's grossest person just got off the elliptical, don't use your own towel to sanitize the handles (P.S. don't use the handles, they don't do anything). Wipe those things down with paper towels and disinfectant spray. If you use your own towel, you're extra likely to wipe your face 10 minutes in and inadvertently put someone else's sweat directly into your eye sockets. Just saying.
Step 2: Eye your pod. You can meticulously wipe down the machinery, but if your ear buds are dangling in a pool of sweat as you prep or your nano is resting in a nest of gum, you're basically licking the person who was there before you. Wash your hands as often as possible and avoid lifting your music player to change songs or check the time. My advice: create a playlist that'll not only keep you entertained but also help you keep track of time. (For example: Britney Spears' 3 is exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds long; so if it plays thrice it's been about 10 minutes)
Step 3: Lay down the law—or at least your towel. Those yoga mats may look all comfy and friendly, but they're not. Think about it; you're sweating, the person before you was sweating, your pores are all open, and now you're downward dogging all up in their perspiration. This towel isn't big enough for the both of us.
Step 4: Don't lick the water fountain. That one's pretty self-explanatory.
End Flashback.

Bill and Jen cross another hurdle between them and their new daughter on the TLC reality series
Bill Klein and Jen Arnold get closer to bringing their new daughter home on Tuesday's season finale of TLC's "The Little Couple" at 10/9c.
On the one-hour season finale, their family is about to get bigger as they prepare to travel to India to adopt their daughter, Zoey. They've done this all before while adopting Will, but every adoption has its unique challenges.

First, there's all the international permissions required to bring Zoey from India back to the United States. Then, there's the fact that Bill and Jen will have two toddlers to take care of during the trip. That means they have to find strollers that can fit two toddlers and can be maneuvered by little persons.
On top of that, Bill gets a call from the adoption agency that may derail the process altogether…

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - Charlotte County Major Crimes Unit detectives continue their investigation concerning a body found about 11 .a.m. this morning in a canal in the area of Prineville St. and Cordoba Ave. in Port Charlotte.
Due to the condition of the body detectives say it may be that of a male, and the body could have been in the canal a couple days, but all that still needs to be determined. CCSO detectives, Forensics, Crime Scene, Dive Team, along with officers from FWC and Nuisance Alligator Trappers were on scene. The body was removed from the canal about 3:30 p.m. and transported to the Charlotte County Medical Examiner's Office in Murdock for an autopsy.
Meanwhile detectives are looking at Missing Persons records and are still searching the numerous vagrant/homeless camps located in that area to see if someone may know of someone missing that could possibly lead to identification of the body in the canal.

Nov 13, 2012Friends I used to play Halo with but have shunned recent releases are coming out to play again. This game feels like a huge evolutionary step in all of the right places and established a new era for the Halo universe.
Nov 13, 2012I really was worried for Halo 4 when Bungie stepped down but 343 pulled it off.
Great story
Amazing graphics
Multiplayer is good, slightly different but very fun
Spartan ops are cool but short
Cortana's **** and ass-LOL
No halo 5 for a while
Buy this now!
Nov 13, 2012I have been a hardcore Halo fan since the beginning (except for Reach of course). I followed Halo 4 news and updates since they announced that the game would be coming out. Now that it is finally here, I am beyond disappointed. I've tried so hard to like this game but every time I play it I want to spike my controller in frustration. There is so much wrong with this game I can't even think of a decent place to begin. How about the campaign. For starters why the hell is chief suddenly so talkative, did anyone else notice this? Throughout the ENTIRE halo franchise Master Chief has been a man of few words, a mysterious, silent, badass. Now its like there is a differnt person inside the suit. Throughout the Halo 4 campaign he is unbelievably uncharacteristic asking question after question to Cortana and saying things that the REAL Chief would NEVER say. Also, his voice is different, they used the exact same voice actor (Steve Downes) but for whatever reason his pitch is off and his voice lost that serious badass tone. I could continue to go on about the campaign but this review would run out of characters so I better get on with 343's disastrous multiplayer. Well for the first week or so I enjoyed it until I realized all the bullsh*t I was being fed. Lately i've found myself changing the gametype after every game. I figure out why I was doing this so often until I came to the conclusion that I was simply bored. I was hoping to find something exciting, fair, and fun but simply could not because 343 did not deliver. When in game I should not have to stick a banshee or ghost twice to destroy it, not only does that make absolutely zero sense but it's almost impossible to do. Like all the Halo's in the past, sticking a vehicle should almost always guarantee a kill. In addition to the complete failure of the grenade's function in Halo 4, they are absolutely useless when it comes to combat. By the time I throw my grenade, I am already almost dead and if i do have a good throw it will at most take half their shield down, the grenades are nerfed beyond belief. Next would be how the power weapons disappear. Being a huge sniper fan, i'm always looking to get my hands on one, so when I do I am for once enjoying playing the game. Only problem is when I die and go back 10 seconds later to retrieve my favorite weapon it is gone. What good does setting fun weapons like the shotgun, sniper, and fuelrod with a 10 second respawn do? It's like they don't want us to use them, its already hard enough to find a good gun with the COD style load outs. Now the dreaded medals. Why the hell are there so many medals!? Getting a medal used to be for something you did that was for a unique way of killing someone like getting a headshot with a sniper or getting a perfection (may I add that both of these classic metals are completely removed from Halo 4). Now we see people getting up to 60 medals a game making a metal just another little stat instead of something that you could marvel over after a good game. There is even a medal for a "generic kill" "assist" and "distraction", honestly who cares about earning something like this? Next is the ranking system which is one of my biggest issues. The new system gives you your "rank" based off of how much experience you have or in other words how much you play. Since when does how much you play show off your skill/rank? Honestly 343, how could you create such pathetic ranking system. It's the most inaccurate representation of skill for a ranking system I have ever came across. Halo 3 had it down perfectly and no one complained so why would you mess with perfection. Speaking of perfection, Halo Reach did managed to create an excellent playlist called infection. It was fun, fair, and simple. It was one shot to the head or one close blast of a shotgun to kill an infected. In addition it was nice seeing the cool medals you could receive for sprees correlating with the classic killing spree, frenzy, and running riot (at 5, 10, 15 kills). Now in Halo 4 Flood Mode we get sprees at strange increments that don't match at 4, 6, and 10 and it takes 4 headshots to get a flood kill! On top of that they got rid of the sprees for weapons like the sniper and sword as well as splatter sprees, which I used to enjoy getting. To conclude my endless rant about the medals, it appears that they hired a 5th grade class to redesign them because apparently they didn't look good in the past and we now have bizarre and confusing designs. I didn't like the sharp, clean-cut ones in the past, thanks 343. Lastly don't bring back the battle rifle and call it the battle rifle. That thing in Halo 4 is not even close to feeling or resembling the battle rifle. How could they take one of the most symbolic weapons in Halo and change everything about it, it sounds strange, shoots too fast, and now has a rectangular scope..WHY. Wow 5,000 words, they must have really screwed up for somebody to type this much for a video game review. BAD.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012I won't lie, although I knew it wouldn't suck I didn't expect it to anywhere near as good as bungies games. But they proved me wrong this is probably tied with halo 2 for 1st place to me. This games campaign is insane smooth and very VERY fun. Spartan ops is fun but I think the story was lacking however we still have 4 episodes left. The multiplayers probably the best of the series. And the graphics are stunning, forge is awesome and more creative then before. The reason it's a 9 is because I didn't like the music and miss Marty and the campaign only took around 5 hours which was too short for me. Other then that this games worth the 60 bucks no doubt. This is THE SHOOTER OF 2012 (but not quite game of the year)… Expand
Nov 14, 2012Halo used to distance itself from other shooters like COD and Battlefield. It wasn't necessarily better, just different. However, Halo 4 ruins that tradition. Halo 4 borrows too many mechanics from COD and Battlefield and loses sight of what made the previous Halo games so great. Halo 4 has a campaign that looks great but is simple, predictable, tedious, and ultimately too short. The campaign tries to create a story that the player can get emotionally invested in, but it just doesn't work. That being said, most people play Halo for the multiplayer. Is the multiplayer fun? No, not really. It no longer means anything to have a BR because now everyone can spawn with a BR if they so choose. That is not Halo. Players can customize their starting loadout for matches, which seems like a good idea at first.... then you realize that this makes the game inherently unfair; people will start the game with advantages that others do not have. That is not Halo. If you are doing better in a game, you get rewarded with weapon drops. This may make sense to those who are familiar with COD, but, once again, this is not Halo. But what about the graphics in Halo 4? Aren't they amazing? No, not really. I don't understand why people are gushing about them. First of all, graphics take the back seat behind story and gameplay. Second of all, what game isn't good looking nowadays? Third of all, the new look to Halo 4 is... well... annoying. Everything is all bright and reflective, just for the sake of showcasing the graphics, but I think most people will agree with me when I say I want to be able to SEE my radar and the people I am shooting. Finally, the controls for Halo 4 are very annoying. Did you use the "recon" configuration in Halo Reach like I did? Well, have fun using X to sprint instead of left bumper. In conclusion, I was very disapointed with Halo 4. I wouldn't buy it. Maybe rent it.… Expand
Nov 14, 2012Do you love Halo multiplayer? Are you looking for a challenge? Well, this is not the game for you. With no ranking system Halo 4 kicks competitiveness to the curb. The load-outs and ordnance packages make the experience feel generic. It is infinitely disappointing.
As for the campaign, players will find the same well-grounded fundamentals of game-play they've come to expect from the series. However, the storytelling is bland and the level designs look to have been pulled from previous episodes, leaving little desire to be replayed.… Expand
Nov 14, 2012The Halo franchise is in good hands. 343 industries did what many thought it could not be done, make a Halo game that surpasses in many areas what Bungie created with Combat Evolved. The art style is amazing, pushing a 7 year old machine to produce incredible vistas that are accompanied by an amazing sound design. As great as it sounds I really think they played it too safe. Some different gameplay scenarios that did not involve pushing a button or shooting everything in sight would have been welcomed. Still, a great campaign, the addictive as ever multiplayer and the spartan ops cooperative missions make this a must play for anyone.… Expand
Nov 14, 2012Hands down the game of the year. Phenomenal graphics, fun and easy to grasp gameplay and sharp new visual design, yet it is absolutely Halo.
Hail to the Chief
Nov 17, 2012Halo 4 is an enjoyable experience everyone should take part in.
Campaign. 8 missions of good times. Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but it's definitely worth playing all the way through. More action scenes from the Chief's POV make it seem like you're doing it. Only complaint is Chief talks more in this installment.
Multiplayer. Insane. The maps are balanced and quite enjoyable. You can now have loadouts, meaning you can choose to start with an automatic or precision rifle from UNSC, Covenant, or Forerunner. Different armor abilities and perks make multiple possibilities so you can play Halo the way you want to.
Spartan Ops. Short, little missions you can play solo or with a friend. Only complaint is it's too easy as you have infinite lives, even on solo legendary. Luckily, 343 Industries is releasing new episodes which each contain 5 more missions.
Customization is better here than in Reach. You can change helmets, torso, shoulders, forearms, legs, and visor. Completing different challenges nets you a different variant of most of the armor so you can choose your favorite design. 343 Industries, you did an amazing job with Halo 4 and I'll be patiently waiting for the next installment.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012worst halo game ever the online is way to easy no competition they have made it to much like call of duty unlocking guns and emblems i dont ever remember that on halo i got halos 1-4 and Reach is my favorite one and im a big halo fan im just mot feeling halo 4 the campaign was great but just got to repeative Bungie should have stayed with microsoft studios and made a great game 343 is trash to me.… Expand
Nov 21, 2012Halo 4 atinge o ápice da sétima geração de videogames, e ainda da um pequeno spoiler da próxima gen. Os gráficos são de babar, o máximo já alcançado em consoles, com a mesma ia e mapas grandes de sempre. A relação Cortana e Chief está ainda mais forte
Nov 19, 2012all the PS3 fans come here and put **** comments here that i am a halo fan but still this game is not good and blah blah grow up man please
and if u do not like halo and u r not a fan of halo then please do not write in ur reiews that u are a halo fan because almost all halo love this game
Nov 20, 2012The campaign overall is satisfying with occasional great moments that could only happen in a halo game. The covenant is still a fun challenge though on the other hand prometheans range from annoying to very irritating (when a knights shield is down and it teleports you will know what I mean). Multiplayer and Forge (map editor) is great (The forge system is very similar to Reach though) while Spartan ops is basically firefight with added objectives and plot. Overall a great game with plenty of modes and features.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012OK, this is my honest review on the game and I believe it is great! Anyone that believes that they copied Call of Duty outright hasn't played the game. Sure, some features were in CoD first, but some features in CoD were taken from Halo. This is what games do, take ideas from other games and improve on them, which Halo has done. Halo 4 is faster paced than the previous games, with instant respawns in some features, and contains custom loadouts. These loadouts are not in any way truly affected by rank. First of all, it takes 1 War Games Match to go from SR1 to SR2 (SR is the ranking system). At SR2, you can purchase either the DMR or the BR, the two best loadout weapons. If you want a Carbine or Lightrifle for PERSONAL preference, then you have to wait a bit. I prefer the Lightrifle because of its dual functionality, but it isnt BETTER to say the least. All the weapons have their range. Of course a DMR will beat an Assault rifle from a distance. But Assault Rifles will destroy DMR at close range. YOU need to get into position to get the kills, so stop complaining about OP weapons. And there are no "Prestiges" like someone else said, and Amour Abilities are not OP either. Neither are Tactical or Support upgrades. They make small changes for PERSONAL preference. So all in all, Halo 4 has a balanced multi-player.
The campaign is short but very good. The levels are fun and exciting. So if you have 60$, buy this game NOW!… Expand
Nov 20, 2012Well reason I gave a low rating was that this game felt like an alienation to actual Halo storyline. Not only did it greatly contradict the other storylines it just felt cluttered and jumbled. Honestly 343 should have spent a better time reviewing the storyline before it decided to adopt Halo as its new money baby. now they are just makeing the story for the money. It shows with lack of detail in the Covies and just the general graphics that are dulled by the immense glare on everything. [this was the first game i had turn down the brightness cause everything was TOO shiny]. By all means this is a great first person shooter game but in no way is this a great Halo. i personally will not be buying anymore Halos unless 343 can improve.… Expand
Nov 21, 2012Honestly, the best FPS in years. Near live action graphics, roaring gun sounds, immersive campaign and multiplayer with by far the best gameplay in the series. Keeps a typical Halo feel with a new edge. Even the skyboxes and masterful scores of music are done perfectly and are sure to turn heads. Oh, and did I mention that the greatest story on Xbox has been extended and even improved upon? The game is legit and will be around for years to come.… Expand
Nov 23, 2012Awesome game maybe can't reach the level of Bungie games but it on the right path.Good beginning 343.
Dec 3, 2012There is a lot of positive stuff about this game but what really irritates me is this : WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY GOLD TO PLAY SPARTAN OPS OFFLINE!?! This mentality at M$ earns this game a 1/10. It's outright disgusting. Costco will be taking my game back. I am not paying 60 $ to HAVE to pay another membership just to play OFFLINE! If I want to play online I can do it for free on my PS3 or play for XBL Gold... but now you guys are going to start charging for play Spartan Ops offline?!? I MEAN WHAT THE HELL??? It's not like this mode was not playable solo or local splitscreen... it is! If you start requesting Gold for this there is no end to your greed. Keep your video game. If I want to play it I'll wait for a price drop I am not paying full price to be ripped like this. Gosh even MW2 and MW3 special ops were all playable splitscreen... Black Ops can even have local splitscreen / LAN matches!?! Seriously shame on you Micro$oft and 343.… Expand
Dec 24, 2012Always the same game. There are only 2 weapons, slow gameplay, same graphics level, boring game and overall bad done. Not recommended.
Nov 27, 2012First of all I have played all halos, since the original Xbox, and this delivery did not disappoint. 343 did a fantastic job creating a robust experience, campaign and multiplayer wise. The visual experience was also fantastic, the controls remained classic but I love the feedback you receive the shooting and how different this feedback is from gun to gun. Also there is an story telling element from the campaign all the way up to Spartan Ops, a great idea that is keeping the game fresh and relevant. In regards of the story as other have said, the emotion created around the relationship Master Chief / Cortana, was well executed and it did let me, personally, craving for more Halo.
Halo being an FPS, its a bench mark for games like Mass Effect 3, that are not able to handle the pressure of a high expectations ending. Thanks 343i, I am looking forward for other projects and of course: More Halo!… Expand
Dec 3, 2012Regardless of the ubiquitous use of minute numerical values from overwhelmingly negative reviews let me state the absolute truth about this game. It is the best Halo title to date. However it is not without fault. Some textures are lacking in detail and some weapons like the "boltshot"
are overpowered. The story however is compelling, epic and crisp. Despite its lack of a giant cast of characters. The game IS worth the money by all means and spartan ops is an enjoyable ride. HOWEVER spartan ops requires Xbox Live, unlike firefight which was great for parties with friends who did not own an Xbox 360 or Xbox Live. The online multiplayer is the most fun engagement in modern gaming but it lacks in certain game modes I enjoyed from Halos Reach and 3. Like grifball. By the time this is read however there could have already been an update for matchmaking which included these game modes and more.… Expand
Dec 1, 2012Am I reviewing the right game? I keep reading all these positive reviews and I have to wonder how many bong rips you'd have to take to get that perception of this game. Seems like the only thing going for it is the huge fan base that the other Halo games established. The story was cheesy, graphics left a lot to be desired and the online game play was so lacking that I'm not sure why they even bothered. About the only thing that came out of this game is now I know which of my friends like purple, cyan and pink. Thank God the new Black Ops is out and I get $40 for trading this in! Would have given it a 0 out of 10 but that is just ridiculous.… Expand
Dec 3, 2012This game's campaign is amazing, just like every other game in the Halo series. However the multiplayer really lacks anything new, there are weapon balancing issues, and there are only 10 maps playable at launch, only 4 of which are playable in Team Slayer (the most popular game type of the series). It kind of feels like they left out maps on purpose so that you would be more inclined to purchase their map packs.… Expand
Dec 20, 2012Possibly the greatest Halo game yet, not only does the campain provide an amazing gaming experience but the multiplayer is now much improved. Simply, if you are a Halo fan you need to buy this game. If you are not a Halo fan you also need to buy this game.
Jan 4, 2013I've been a fan of HALO since the very first game (Still own every copy of it). HALO was the very first game i played on my old XBOX. And I fell in love with the game. And I've always looked forward to the next HALO game (except REACH, that game was meh)
I'm a huge fan of everything HALO, and I have to say I am NOT disappointed with HALO 4. It is everything I hoped for and more. The sounds/audio is amazing. And the voice acting is superb. Graphics are great for a Console Game. The plot/story is just how I imagined it would be after hours of speculation after Halo 3. And the forerunners look just great.
They did change the sound of several weapons and in my honest opinion. A lot of the sound even better now, and more ear-gasm-ing sounding. You know, they sound epic.
Level design is good, I love the environments and I found myself spending a lot of time looking around at different things. Love the attention to detail.
343 has done a great job, and I admit I was scared they would butcher the series. But they have not. They have give HALO new life, and I hope they will give me many more hours of fun to come.
Spartan Ops is a great addition to the game, I found it to be fun to play, especially with friends.
I did play a little of the Mutliplayer Aspect in HALO 3 and HALO REACH but I never got into it that much. I enjoyed it but it wasn't for me I suppose. But for those worried HALO 4's multiplayer is going to be vastly different. Fear not, it still feels like the good old HALO multiplayer. and it's even more fun now! I love it!
This is the first time I've really been playing HALO's multiplayer aspect and loving it A LOT. I never hated it, I liked it in the past. But it just didn't click for me that much. It does now. It feels just like I guess HALO 3 and REACH. But better, different. But in a good way. (No, it's not simplified. I still get my ass kicked as always) But I don't know. It feels like there's less BS with connections and such now. It runs more smoothly. I did spend a good couple of 100 hours playing REACH Multiplayer sure, I did enjoy it but it wasn't my thing for a while. I found it hard to get into. I suppose now that I know how it works, it was easier for me to get into HALO 4's multiplayer.
Either way, if you're a true HALO fan, you are going to love the campaign and the multiplayer.… Expand
Dec 21, 2012Terrible. 343 killed Halo. Buy Halo 3 instead.
If you are a long time Halo fan, you will hate this. It is just a casual noob fest that has been made too much like call of duty. They have removed all competitive elements and ruined the classic halo gameplay.
Jan 1, 2013Para empezar para ser el primer juego de 343 industries es excelente, no obstante la ausencia de bungie deja un vació muy grande al juego en general .Visualmente cuesta trabajo creer que el xbox 360 es una consola del 2005 no es así ?. El juego es sin duda el mejor juego del 2012 no el mejor halo pero si es excelente. La campaña te atrapa en su argumento de principio a fin, ost increíble, multijugador impecable tanto el co op como el competitivo, y la IA vuelve tan feroz y tactica como antes. Es triste ver como ahí gente que se empeña en difamar tal vez el mejor juego de la xbox 360.… Expand
Jan 1, 2013Story-wise, Campaign was acceptable, but gameplay flopped. It felt more like work than fun, and it was incredibly repetitive with no real "WOW!" moments like the previous Halo games.
Multiplayer has changed. Old Halo fans such as myself would find it to play like Call of Duty. Custom classes? Perks? Kill streaks? Not the classic multiplayer that made Halo a big game in the first place. 343i said that they would include a classic playlist. There is no such playlist. They said the classes would be balanced. They lied. Spartan Ops is terrible. All of the maps are multiplayer rip offs. Bad animations, pointless story, and just plain boring.
If you liked Halo for Custom Games and Forge, you will hate Halo 4. 343i took out many custom games options. You can barely edit the Flood gametype. You can't even change the Flood's weapons. This prevents probably 60% of the custom games that were made in Reach and Halo 3 from being made in Halo 4. If you want more info on the Halo 4 custom games situation, Check the following link: https://forums.halowaypoint.com//yaf_postst127421_This-is-completely-unacceptable--343.aspx
In closing, Halo 4 is a joke. 343i did not listen to the community. They gave their fans no room for input. Instead, they had their mind set on money, and made a Call of Duty clone. 343i does not deserve the Halo franchise. They do not deserve to make more Halo games.… Expand

Feb 24, 2013I had high expectations for this game, as any fan of Halo would. However, quite a bit of those expectations went down the drain when I found out there was no theater for campaign. But, I got the game anyway. Started the campaign, liked the scenery and all that, but was still disappointed that I would not be able to take my traditional campaign scenery screenshots.
But nonetheless, I played on...or until the game decided to freeze on me and return me to the main menu at a certain point in the second mission. So, after a bit of frustration with being unable to get it to work(even tried installing the game on my harddrive), I was forced to return the game for a new one. New disc worked after that certain point. Campaign gameplay was alright, IMO. BUT...the game decides to freeze on me again and return me to the main menu after Cortana reveals something about the Promethean Knights. Next two campaign missions don't work, but eight campaign mission did work...to a point. So, in essence, I couldn't enjoy the campaign because for some reason, it seems to have been incompatible with my XBox.
Whatever. I said screw it, I'm still angry that I can't take screenshots in campaign, so never gonna play campaign anyway. Onto multiplayer.
I really have no idea why 343 even bothered to rename Matchmaking to War Games, or Slayer to "INFINITY SLAYER!" Just seemed quite...nonsensical, if you ask me. Made no sense. Whatever.
Multiplayer has been nerfed to ridiculously low levels. Now, beginners can play a game and go on par with MLG players(legit MLG players). I'm not even joking. The BR and DMR are rendered useless now that the AR is so overpowered. Not only that, but with custom loadouts, the DMR and BR are rendered even more useless as a result of the AR being the favorite choice among beginners. 3 hits from an AR will take your shields down halfway, compared to just a quarter in Reach and Halo 3.
Pulse grenades...absolutely useless, because anyone and everyone can avoid the implosion before it detonates.
Ordnance...worst thing they could have added to the game, because now anyone can get a superweapon at any given moment in the match. Or powerup at that, rather than having to wait until it spawns on the map, WHICH MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE. I mean, rather than having players wait to get a chance at one superweapon, 343 goes and gives players the opportunity to become juggernauts with their powerups at any given moment, or like most often it occurs, the opportunity to become absolute camping warriors with their Incinerator Cannon's.
Shotgun has been nerfed as well. Sword lunging seems to been reduced to only two feet. Plasma grenades can completely miss you by a large distance, and then whip back and stick you in the back of the head, after you watch it fly harmlessly by you.
343 stated that they would make matchmaking in this game JUST AS fun as Halo 3's matchmaking was...fattest lie ever told. They have not lived up to that expectation. They said they would deliver, and they delivered alright. They delivered the most incomplete game of the quarter century.
Now, let's go onto Forge.
343 said they were going to improve on Reach's Forge system and mechanics. The ONLY thing that they managed to implement was the useful magnets and delete palette options. That's it. Seems they spent TOO much time on those two functions to even give any attention to the forge mechanics. Atrocious forge mechanics. It is no longer possible to create a symmetrical map like you could in Reach. Not even with using the little unit nudging tool, or even magnets. And they got rid of the finite nudging you could do by zooming in while holding an object, and lightly tapping on the right or left analog sticks. That was perhaps 343's biggest mistake with Forge.
Also, on the subject of symmetry, you can try to make a symmetrical map. Good luck trying to line up matching pieces together on opposite sides of the map. Take one side of a custom map for example. Now, keep building on until you reach the side that mirrors the spot where you started. Build a little further after that until you reach back where you started. Now, see if you can make the pieces fit together properly without having a gap between the last two pieces. Because that's how broken Forge is in this game.
Basically, 343 promised to deliver us a fun and innovative new Forging system Halo 4. Not only did they not do that, but they seemed to have managed to take 3 MASSIVE steps back in the evolution of Forge. 343 ACTUALLY managed to make H4's Forge WORSE than Reach's forge. Hell, it's broken beyond hope.
And those "Forge" maps they promised would make us all happy? Yeah...utter jokes. Can't even be compared to Forge World. No even close. That, and there's huge gaps in every maps textures.
So, what did I do?
I sold Halo 4.
Best decision I ever made.
Halo 4 worst game ever. And I'm a Halo fan.… Expand
Dec 17, 2012Halo 4 eschews esoteric delivery for a sledgehammer story with a blockbuster aesthetic. Epic, engaging and sensorially awesome. [Jan 2013, p.60]
Dec 5, 2012In the end, this game is still a fairly conservative and faithful to the original spirit, even with some significant changes.
Dec 3, 2012The narrative is outstanding, even in spite of a few plot-point missteps, and the character evolution of Master Chief and Cortana deserves to be further explored with these wonderful storytellers (well, maybe one of them can't happen, but I'll avoid spoilers). However, the gameplay feels jilted, awkward and unrefined, three unforgivable sins in a landscape populated with other quite-capable FPS franchises. As a result, I'm going to average everything out: great story plus bad gameplay equals an average experience. And in this overcrowded FPS genre, "average" is isn't something I'd recommend buying.

I waited till around 2:00 to eat anything. Wasn't hungry.
L- Hungry girlfredo (I didn't have low fat sour cream or low fat parmesean cheese so I figured the cal count at 113)
Not sure about dinner yet. Think maybe some greek yogurt, a steak-ummm and broccoli with butter.
Well, today is a strange down day. I'm both exhausted and jittery beyond belief. I can't tell if it's the bulletproof coffee that's doing it to me or if it's the stress of the fact that my alter ego (Stephanie Draven) has a book releasing tomorrow and me and my publisher are still working through issues with the cover! I am not feeling bulletproof.
B. Bulletproof Coffee (200 cal)
L. A bowl of excitement and anxiety (0 cal)

1 cup Veg Stew 50cal
Sliver of Brownie 75 cal
that's all I was going to eat til dinner... then went to work and they had leftover cajun pasta from the buffet... ate about 1/2 cup. 250cal!!
So I'm at 375 not bad... and 1.5 cup veg stew planned for dinner so 450 if I stick to just that!!
The bad part is I wasn't even hungry!!! Just looked SOOOO good!! Pre TOM is the worst for me. During isn't bad, atleast I have that to be thankful for!!
I did skip the mini donuts and sweet corn today- FREE with our Customer Appreciation celebration today! Didn't even look good! I just want salty and savory!!!

B: egg, wheat bread, swiss 160
L: turkey pepperoni 35
D: salmon and brown rice (w/ cilantro, onion & Jalapeno) 350
A salmon fillet (130 calories) and an apple (90 calories?).
I usually do a full-fast on DDs but hunger got the best of me today :(
Weird day. Didn't get really hungry until 6:30 pm.
B - coffee with almond milk (20)
L - cauliflower soup and Taco Bell pintos, no cheese - (180)
D - Lean Cuisine Beef Portabello and 1 c steamed cabbage (194)
Total: 394 so far

This Detroit band found some success in the swing revival of the late '90s, even though they were really an eight-piece jump blues band. They had the horn blasts and boogie beats to steal Cherry Poppin' Daddies fans, and the good sense to make their second (and last) album, Torch This Place, one of the last great records of the '90s. Every track on here oozes swingin' grooves, smokin' piano solos, screaming saxes, and voodoo mojo, as singer John Bunkley (who was sort of like a black, bald Tom Waits) growls and screams through songs like "Caviar and Chitlins" and "Drink Drank Drunk." Most of the tunes are straight-up high energy and hellfire (check out the manic mood of "Swing Sweet Pussycat"), but the true gems here are the smoky, bluesy ballads, like "Lover Lies" and "Starve a Fever."

This movie is hilarious!! Channing Tatum is one of my favorite actors and he is great in this!! Awesome flick :)
for funny movie,
I couldn't have been more surprised that I found this movie absolutely hilarious. What works best here is the way it takes all the conventions and turns them on their heads. The leads are terrific, the supporting cast is hysterical (particularly Ice Cube), but I personally didn't care for the cameos one bit. It's a bit long, certainly profane, definitely ridiculous, but I laughed like a loon the entire time.
Solid cheezy fun. More sight gags, as opposed to witty dialogue.
World class dud. I normally don't like action comedy blends, and the dumber the comedy, the less I like it-as in this case.
Funny movie. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are amazing
There are hardly any similarities between "21 Jump Street" and the series of the same name. The movie has some light humor but, in the end, there is little that is funny about two men acting like teenagers.
It was funny enough to watch once. the only reason i gave it 3 stars was because of a cameo...which i won't give away.
Jonyy Depp was in this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great comedy that pays homage to the eighties TV show without ignoring the passage of time since then. Beautifully handled and genuinely funny. I recommend it for older teens and adults.

21 Jump Street Trailer
21 Jump Street Trailer
n the action-comedy "21 Jump Street", Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier - and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.
SummaryAdd a Summary
In high school, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) was a dork and Jenko (Channing Tatum) was the popular jock. After graduation, both of them joined the police force and ended up as partners riding bicycles in the city park. Since they are young and look like high school students, they are assigned to an undercover unit to infiltrate a drug ring that is supplying high school students synthetic drugs.

Hyper-V virtualization in action
Summary: How well does the latest beta of Microsoft's virtualization solution work? In this gallery, Ed Bott looks at Hyper-V in action on Windows Server 2008.
TOPICS: Virtualization

The list of available settings for the Hyper-V server itself are relatively limited. You can specify the location of VM settings and virtual disk files and also control the credentials used to connect to virtual machines.
For the full review, see Is Hyper-V ready for the Windows desktop?.
The physical machine hosting this collection of virtual machines is using a quad-core CPU with 6 GB of RAM. With three VMs started but not running any tasks, CPU usage is practically nonexistent. Memory usage corresponds almost perfectly to the amount of virtual memory assigned.

"not enough material for a book"
His point is important, but there's not enough original information for a book. Too much padding with example stories that don't add new info.
"Too much abridgement"
I'm a big fan of this series of books, but this abridged version just didn't have enough meat on it. I wish I'd bought the paperback instead.
"Great reader, classic story"
That's all you need to know.
"More about civil war than gold rush"
I bought this because I'm interested in the Gold Rush. Two hours of listening and we're still on minutae of California pre-civil war politics and transcontinental politics.
I doubt I'll finish.
"full of it"
I couldn't stand to listen to it, this man was so full of "it" and of himself.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Four of the five starts Yu Darvish has made this season have been against division opponents, and he will be 5 for 6 after the Sunday finale at Angel Stadium.One of those starts was excellent, two rated as quality starts, and the fourth was the shortest outing of his career. That one, Monday against Oakland, is the Rangers' lone loss in his five outings.To many Rangers players, games against American League West foes matter this early in a season, even though many of those same players say that results in April and May don't matter much.Darvish, though, tries not to put much extra weight on his shoulders for division games."I don't think there's a difference in importance," said Darvish, who enters his 11th career start against the Angels with a 6-1 record and a 3.77 ERA against them. "Whether I pitch within the division or outside the division, what I have to do to prepare for the game is pretty much the same."Manager Ron Washington said that Darvish was given the Angels by design, only because the Rangers didn't want Colby Lewis and Matt Harrison to have to hit Monday and Tuesday in Colorado.Darvish's other starts against the AL West have been by coincidence to date. That will change, though, later in the year when a division title could be on the line."That's how you win a division, by winning in your division," Washington said. "If you can win in your division, you've got a chance."Slash lineRangers pitchers continued their prep work Saturday for interleague play at Colorado by taking multiple rounds of batting practice thrown by future Hall of Fame inductee Greg Maddux, a special assistant to Jon Daniels.The pitchers will be tasked with mostly bunting this week at Coors Field. But they also worked on the slash play, showing bunt before pulling back and taking a short, quick swing.Most took the bat all the way back for a full swing."No, they don't understand it," Washington said. "It's hard for them because they don't swing the bat, but you never know when a situation comes up when they have to slash. We at least want them to have some fundamental base to do it."Washington said he hasn't called a slash play since Game 1 of the 2010 World Series, when Cliff Lee doubled.Quick impressionDaniel Robertson has been with the Rangers for 10 days and has played in only three games, but the outfielder who spent six years in the minor leagues has a fan in his new manager."He's a good kid," Washington said. "He works hard. He's into the game. He asks a lot of questions. He's ready to do whatever you ask him to do, and that should be his attitude. He's presented an opportunity, and he wants to try to take advantage of it."Washington's favorite part of Robertson's game, which includes some infield work, is the way he goes into second base to break up a double play. Robertson did it Friday night in the ninth inning, drawing a wry smile from Angels second baseman Howie Kendrick."I love the way he goes down and breaks up double plays," Washington said. "That's old school. Howie plays like that. He knows."Briefly• Robinson Chirinos thinks some bad food at breakfast led to his stomach issues that forced him to be scratched from Friday's lineup, but he returned Saturday. "I went outside the hotel to eat today," he said.• Right-hander Tanner Scheppers, recovering from elbow inflammation, played catch out to 90 feet in Arlington.

The latest JK lasers press releases
JK Lasers announce their involvement as a core industrial partner in the EPSRC's new Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Laser Based Production Processes. The aims of the CIM are to exploit the unique features of laser light to unlock manufacturing innovation, delivering ground-breaking industrial impact in key areas of the UK economy.
The key academic partners are the University of Cambridge, Cranfield University, Heriot-Watt University, University of Liverpool, and the University of Manchester. The centre combines world class and complementary expertise in all significant aspects of the science and engineering underpinning laser-based production processes, including industrial laser and machine technologies, sensing, laser-material interaction, and manufacturing process applications. The industrial partners involved in the centre span the complete value chain for laser-based production processes, including manufacturers of industrial lasers, of laser production systems, and end-users who exploit lasers in a wide range of manufacturing processes.
Lasers have a major role in high value manufacturing, and indeed are essential tools for a developed economy such as the UK to successfully compete on the world manufacturing stage. Laser processes provide high quality, high precision readily-automated manufacturing solutions, with excellent repeatability whilst retaining a high degree of flexibility, which allows mass customisation and design modifications.
The key research challenges are to develop new laser-based processes enabling the use of a wider range of materials and combinations of materials (e.g. joining of dissimilar and highly dissimilar materials), and to increase quality and reliability with reduced cost for existing laser based manufacturing processes for example, additive manufacture, welding, micro-machining.

JK In-depth: Finding the Focus Using Back Reflection
Fiber lasers are a precision material processing tool used for a diverse range of applications from the manufacture of small, intricate medical devices to flat sheet cutting thick section metals. To ensure these parts are manufactured to the highest possible standards, the laser operator precisely controls the intensity on the target. Parameters such as pulse energy and the temporal profile are easily controlled.
Advantages of Fiber Lasers Showcased at The Battery Show 2012
The processing advantages of fiber lasers will be showcased by JK Lasers when it makes its debut appearance at The Battery Show, Detroit, between 13 and 15 November.
Gold Medal for Laser Cutting Machine

Mexican Cheesecake
People will rave over this super-easy cheesecake appetizer. I've made this recipe several times at parties, and people were so surprised it was low fat. Make it a day ahead for convenience, adding salsa just before serving. —Sandy Burkett, Galena, Ohio
24 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. + chilling
2 packages (8 ounces
) reduced-fat cream cheese
1-1/4 cups reduced-fat sour cream,
1 envelope taco seasoning
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1 cup chunky salsa, drained
Tortilla chips
fresh vegetables
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream and taco
seasoning until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until
combined. Stir in cheddar cheese and chilies.
Transfer to a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until center is almost set.
Spread remaining sour cream evenly over top. Bake 5-8 minutes longer
or until topping is set.
