Two recently completed bridges along Route 50 — at 10th Street N. and N. Courthouse Road — now look more colorful, thanks to a public art installation. But if you want to catch a glimpse of the art in its full glory, you'll have to wait until it's dark.
Arlington Cultural Affairs partnered with VDOT on both the custom-designed concrete panels on the sides of the road and metal grillwork on the overpasses. Both were the work of artist Vicki Scuri, who also designed an LED light show that backlights the grillwork at night.
The light display is programmed as a 15 minute loop that fades and gradually transitions between sets of colors. The show contains intentional sequences and transitions with a "range of non-highway colors" that suggest stained glass, Scuri said. The new light programming went live Friday night.
"The lighting, the pattern elements and the landscape are site specific responses to inform place, creating a signature landmark promoting wayfinding for the Arlington entries at Courthouse Street [sic] and 10th Street," said Scuri, adding that she designed the art installations to reflect Arlington's "classical architecture." She said wanted to make a clear entry to Arlington that complemented the county's lively, refined streetscapes.
Scuri was in Arlington last week to collaborate with the VDOT contract lighting designer and Arlington's Department of Transportation to balance the artist's creative vision with practicality and safety for those areas. They worked on the color and intensity of the lighting, among other things.
"This is a collective effort to provide both beauty and safety. I think we've done it," said Scuri. "The entire project is a response to the site, to the native landscape and to the classical ornamentation of Arlington and that of Washington, D.C."

Planners: Bank Shortchanges Courthouse — The office building slated to replace the Wendy's in Courthouse will have a Wells Fargo bank prominently located on the ground floor, and Arlington planners don't like it. County staff says the bank use is "not appropriate" and should be at least moved so that a more active retail use can occupy half of the plaza area. Developer Carr Properties says the bank must stay, since Wells Fargo owns the land under the existing bank that will be torn down for the project. [Washington Business Journal]

Among farmers' market attendees, corporate commuters, and bar-goers in Ballston last Thursday night (Aug. 7), something else stood out. Two new interactive art displays debuted on Ballston's sidewalks in the forms of beach chairs and Craigslist poetry.
The brightly painted chairs on the corners of Fairfax Drive and N. Taylor Street, Glebe Road and Wilson Blvd, and in Welburn Square encouraged passersby to sit back and consider rising sea levels. Outside of A-Town Bar and Grill, the jumble of words pulled from Craigslist and projected onto a screen piqued the interests of pedestrians.
These two art installations were part of a series of "Public Displays of Innovation" sponsored by the Ballston Business Improvement District. "Beachfront Potential" and "Missed Connections" were the first of eight projects in the series intended to "bring the character and personality of Ballston to its streets," according to Ballston BID CEO Tina Leone.
"We wanted to see how to incorporate technology and different forms of media for people to experience on the streets," Leone said.
With Beachfront Potential, artist Patrick McDonough wanted to pose Ballston residents with the a new, hypothetical shoreline, and suggested that climate change could bring the beach to Ballston. Those who sat down at each of the beach chairs' three locations were educated and engaged by mobile activities accessed by scanning unique barcodes with smartphones.
"With this project, it's really the juxtaposition of leisure and this mixing of serious and non-serious imagery and content that's really an effective way to deal with these things," McDonough said.
Scanning the barcode at the Fairfax Drive location outside Zoe's Kitchen and The Nature Conservancy brought up an informative video on climate change. McDonough created the 7-minute video using footage he took along Maryland's eastern shore and from interviews with Nature Conservancy scientists. A "Skippin' Stones" melting ice caps game and a list of suggested "beach reads" showed up from the Glebe Road and Wellburn Square locations' barcodes, respectively.
"If you sit in your house and think about global warming, then you might become so morose that you never leave your house," McDonough said.
McDonough teaches art at Corcoran College of Art + Design and American University. He said he got the idea for Beachfront Potential when he was looking at a map of rising sea levels.
"It was a happy correlation that this [predicted shoreline] went straight through the Ballston corridor," McDonough said.
Artist Peter Lee projected a slideshow of black and white imagery and word fragments pulled from Craigslist's Missed Connections section onto a small screen outside of A-Town.
"I worked in the area and it's IT heavy and government heavy," Lee said. "One of the most human things you can have is romance, and living in the D.C. area that's normally synonymous with power and stuff [made it] interesting to find a human element here."
Lee used a prepared slideshow Thursday because of a bad wi-fi connection outside the bar, but he said he can funnel bits of text from Craigslist as they're posted with the algorithm he and co-creator Blake Turner wrote.
"We definitely tailored the data and the aesthetic toward Ballston," Lee said. "We wrote the algorithm so it can chop up the data more, [because] previously we were just pulling subject lines from Craigslist. Now we're pulling the content, and it's like stream of consciousness poetry."
Some of the pre-prepared bits of text said, "was wearing sunglasses" and "interested noww hit me/regularly/up."
Lee and Turner are both George Mason University graduates and members of the Floating Lab Collective art group in D.C. Although their installation only showed Thursday, Friday (Aug. 8) and Saturday (Aug. 9), McDonough's installation will remain on Ballston's streets through September, Leone said.
Leone said the BID plans to debut its other six projects in the next three months. "Quantum Tours Americana" and "Site: WA + FC (Ballston)" will show in September, "Cloud," "Urban Oasis," and "Forest of Knowledge" in October, and "Axon Xylophone Bridge" in November, Leone said.
"We really try to look for things that are unique or haven't been seen before," Leone said. "It's been a long time in the works, but they're really amazing, extremely high quality projects that people can experience together."
Artists with disabilities have their own show at the Gallery Underground in Crystal City.
The show is called "Making Their Mark: Art Brut," and highlights pieces from artists with disabilities from ServiceSource day centers, a non-profit disability resource organization. It is put on in partnership with Purple Art, an art therapy program that works with individuals with disabilities and with military members and their families.
"Sometimes, I feel like Van Gogh," artist Andrew Ross told ARLnow.com. "Music and art go together with me. I enjoy making both of them, they are big part of me".
"Art Brut" translates to "raw art" and describes works created without classical art training. It's an opportunity for the artists to overcome challenges and to express themselves in different ways. Some of the artists created pieces with little or no assistance for the first time.
"It's good, I did a lot of work on the art," artist Robert "Bobby" Hoffer told ARLnow.com
Volunteers donated many of the framing materials for the exhibition, in addition to volunteering to frame, mount and curate the show pieces.
"Making Their Mark: Art Brut" runs through August 23. More information can be found on the Gallery Underground website.
(Updated at 6:00 p.m) A walk-in studio art facility for veterans and active-duty service members plans to open Oct. 15 in Crystal City.
Alexandria-based The 296 Project launched a Kickstarter on July 24 with a $30,000 goal to fund the 1,100-square-foot space, which it calls "A Combat Veteran's Healing Place." The studio will be located in a retail space at the Shops at 2100 Crystal Drive.
Kickstarter proceeds will go toward renovation materials, art supplies and equipment for the facility, which will cater to service members with post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to a press release.
"When the suffering is so strong words can barely describe it, when no one understands, when there's no support system, this new facility allows our men and women in uniform to tell their stories with a paintbrush, clay, pen and pencil, chalk, through music, digital design, 3D design, spoken word or through poetry," Scott Gordon, executive director of The 296 Project, told ARLnow.com in an email.
The project plans to give service members a place to explore art as well as socialize. It plans to provide art therapists with a space for seminars, art classes and group therapy sessions, although it will not be a therapy-providing entity, according to The 296 Project spokesperson Rebekah Wiseman.
The general public will be allowed in, according to the organization, so it can learn more about the community of service members with PTSD and TBI who are helped by art and expressive therapies.
"With or without a PTS/TBI diagnosis, our facility, our seminars, workshops, etc., will be therapeutic," Wiseman wrote.
Service members will have to provide records to prove that they are or were members of the military, said Wiseman. The facility plans to be open six days of the week, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
"We believe we can save thousands of lives in the Northern Virginia area alone," Gordon said. "This is just too important not to support."
The Kickstarter will accept contributions until Sept. 22. Currently, the project has six backers and has raised $710.

(Updated at 6:35 p.m.) A former U.S. Navy SEAL is hosting an art fundraiser in Crystal City next month to raise money for veterans returning home with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other combat-induced disabilities.
Alexandria-based nonprofit The 296 Project will host a gallery show and silent auction at Gallery Underground (2100 Crystal Drive) of U.S. Navy Senior Chief Kristin Beck, a transgender, 20-year veteran of the Navy whose art "kept her from suicide on more than one occasion," according to a press release for the event.
Beck, who took part in seven combat deployments with the SEALS and was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, was diagnosed with PTSD and a 90 percent disability rating.
The first ever transgender Navy SEAL, Beck "will be addressing the crowd personally," and discussing the therapeutic effect creating artwork had on her recovery, according to the press release. She will also be advocating for The 296 Project, which "promotes, funds, supports and advocates for art and expressive therapies" for veterans when they return to the States, according to Executive Director Scott Gordon.
Beck's work will be on display at the gallery from June 2-28. The show will be on June 6 from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. and tickets are $15.

The mermaid carving along Lee Highway that drew national attention when it was put up for sale in 2011 has been cut down.
The statue had been up in the front yard of Leeway Overlee resident Paul Jackson since 2004. In 2011 Jackson hoped to sell the statue for $3,000, with the requirement of the buyer "slicing her off and returning her home." He apparently didn't find a buyer, as the statue, which was built out of a dying, 100+ year-old ash tree, remained in the yard.
Today, however, it is nowhere to be found. The only remnant is a stump beneath a sculpture of a turtle.
The statue was carved by Frederick, Md., artist Scott Dustin, and was described in the Washington Post as having "a shapely derriere and bare breasts that must be at least size DD." The mermaid was nicknamed "Damaged Goods" or "D.G." for short, and stirred up neighborhood controversy.
Jackson wasn't home today to explain why the mermaid was removed, but a poster on the ARLnow.com Facebook page said it was "becoming too rotted and infested with ants."

The Arlington Artists Alliance is organizing a week of art appreciation starting this Friday.
ArtFest 2014 will be held at Fort C.F. Smith Park (2411 24th Street N.) and will run from March 28 to April 4. Festival-goers will be able to enjoy an ongoing art show and attend workshops and demos, according to the organization's website. This marks the 12th year the Artists Alliance will hold ArtFest, which is free and open to the public.
The Hendry House, a historic 20th century mansion on the park grounds, will host the art show throughout the week. In addition, artists such as Jackie Afram and Fran Simms will conduct workshops on painting with oil bars and watercolor.
An opening reception will kick off the week on Friday, March 28th from 6-8 p.m., at which visitors can meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.
The Rosslyn Business Improvement District today officially unveiled a gigantic photographic mural that has been temporarily installed on the side of a building near the corner of Wilson Blvd and N. Lynn Street.
The 6,000 square foot photo is "the largest photographic print on the East Coast and bigger than the scoreboard at Nationals Park," according to the BID. It is a "tranquil depiction of crape myrtle trees that [photographer Frank Hallam] Day snapped during a month-long photographic study of Rosslyn."
The BID would not reveal where the photo was taken — it will instead be running a social media contest for people to guess where it was taken.
The photo is expected to remain on the side of the office building at 1730 N. Lynn Street for at least a year, until the building is demolished for the planned Central Place office skyscraper.
"[This] is the third project installed by the Rosslyn Business Improvement District as part of its award-winning temporary public art program launched last spring," the BID said in a press release. "The program aims to help resolve urban design issues and soften Rosslyn's hard edges as many parts of the district undergo redevelopment."
Hallam Day told ARLnow.com that in order to achieve the resolution needed for the massive photo print, the image is actually composed of several dozen individual photos stitched together. The final ultra-high-resolution image took up about 45 gigabytes of space on his hard drive, the BID said.

What is a hyperpower? According to Amy Chua, right now, the United States is. But, it's one threatened without a change in "tolerance." Her bestselling book Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance--And Why They Fall, compares even ancient empires such as Persia and the Roman Empire to the US in what seems to be a very timely warning. It's a thought-provoking read--scholarly but accessible--more appropriate for the leather armchair than the poolside chaise, if you know what I mean. Chua discusses her work Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. at the Fort Worth Public Library, 500 W. 3rd St., (tickets are $10) and at 6 p.m. at the Dallas Central Library, 1515 Young St. (tickets $25 to $40).

"Kunta Kinte, behold the only thing greater than yourself!"Roots was a Mini Series presenting a dramatized account about author Alex Haley's family line and their struggles coping with slavery from ancestor Kunta Kinte's enslavement to his Civil War descendants' liberation. Based on a novel by Haley.First broadcast in late January and early February 1977, the series was a tremendous success, prompting new public interest in genealogy and, in regard to television, established the Mini Series as a high profile prestige format for prime time.The first Roots, the generally better received one, went only up through the Civil War, while a 1979 Sequel, Roots: The Next Generations, picked up in 1865 and went through to Alex Haley himself, culminating in Haley visiting Kunte Kinte's home village in the 1970s.1988 brought a third (fictional) entry: Roots: The Gift. This was a single two-hour side story, bringing back LeVar Burton as Kunta Kinte. As a piece of trivia, this film features a few actors who would be in Star Trek productions, just as Burton was. Avery Brooks (Captain Benjamin Sisko), Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), and Tim Russ (Lieutenant Tuvok).

[[caption-width-right:315:L-to-R: Det. Greenback, Det. Whitehead, Lt. Rice, Dwight, Ofc. Sutton]]
''Memphis Beat'' was an hour-long cop {{dramedy}} on Turner Network Television (TNT). It stars Creator/JasonLee as Detective Dwight Hendricks of the Memphis Police Department. The show is something of a throwback to [[TheEighties 80s]] cop dramas where the detectives were quirky and unconventional, his boss (in this case Alfre Woodard as Lt. Tanya Rice) was a by-the-book commander frustrated by said lead and his fellow cops served mostly as straight men to him (with the requisite awkward rookie, here played by Creator/DJQualls.).
Though the show is set in Memphis, it is shot mostly in New Orleans (for tax reasons). Ratings were good for the first season, but not without criticism (particularly from Memphis locals) that the show was Memphis-based in name only: The On-Screen Memphis is basically New Orleans-by-way-of-[[Film/InTheHeatOfTheNight Sparta, MS,]] save for some shout-out to local landmarks (and of course, references to [[ElvisPresley Elvis]]). The show's producers have promised to make Memphis in the second season feel more like the actual Memphis. Aired from June 22, 2010 to August 16, 2011 on TNT.
!!Memphis Beat contains examples of the following tropes:
* BlackBossLady: Lt. Tanya Rice
* CaliforniaDoubling: The show's titular setting is Memphis, TN. The show itself (aside from the occasional establishing shot of Memphis landmarks) is shot in New Orleans, LA -- about 260 miles to the southwest.
* TheCastShowOff: Each episode ends with Lee showing off his musical chops.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Sgt. J.C. Lightfoot.
* CowboyCop: Dwight.
* ConspicuousCGI: The pilot contained a glaringly out-of-place radio station marquee.
* DeepSouth: What the setting was treated like, most of the time, in Season 1.
* ElvisImpersonator: A running gag in the pilot.
* ExoticDetective: Dwight is a font of Memphis musical lore (Especially Elvis and Sun Studios).
* FanNickname: Fans and detractors alike have taken to calling Lee's character [[MyNameIsEarl "Detective Earl"]]
* GoodCopBadCop: Usually with Whitehead taking the role of "Bad Cop."
* GoodOlBoy: Dwight.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Unlike other TNT shows released on DVD, this show never released all two seasons on DVD!
* MommasBoy: Dwight is unapologetically devoted to his mother, Paula.
* OutlawCouple: in "Identity Crisis" [[spoiler: the twist is that there are TWO Bonnies: the latter the girlfriend, the former is his mother.]]
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: TNT hardly promoted the show over its two seasons and quietly canceled it despite a positive reception. You think they would have tried to make a show starring Jason Lee and produced by Creator/GeorgeClooney one of their big shows.
* ShiningCity: Most of the main cast (and many of the perps) treat Memphis as such.
* SouthernFriedGenius: Dwight
* StraightMan: Dwight's partner, Det. Whitehead.
* ThemeNaming: Each episode is titled after a Memphis blues or rock and roll song.
* WhatMightHaveBeen: The show was originally conceived as ''Delta Blues'' and was set in a fictional town near New Orleans.

i need 1000 packs of doughnuts
Seriously, i'm at a loss. i need 1000 packs of mini-doughnuts (like you find at a deli or a gas station), where oh where can i buy them?
re: macca
thanks guys!
regarding sam's club. i need to know they will be there when i need them. i can't depend on sam's club and see that they are short 200 doughnuts. also can't buy them in advance bc they'll go stale. i need to find a vendor who will take an order in advance and deliver when i need them. sigh!
re: stellamystar
Costco, in the past, took orders and deliverd. I used them for a convention. I would think 1000 packs would qualify for that service.
re: Jck90
Costco will not sell you anything without a membership- that's the point of the store.
Also, many distributors cannot sell direct to the public, they just aren't structured that way. You'd be better off finding a place that already carries the product you want, and asking them if they can get you enough cases to make 1000 pieces, and ask for a case discount. Be prepared to leave a deposit, since the retailer wouldn't want to be stuck with 1000 doughnuts.
re: stellamystar
US Foods only has them in bulk but they've redirected me to someone who may be able to help! thanks for the suggestion
find out who bakes them locally, and get in touch with them. While they might not be able to sell to you directly, they can probably tell you who would be willing to. If you know in advance, you may be able to get them through your local grocery store.
I would seek out your local vending machine company. I'm sure they would be able to help you out and for cheap.
I thought of another place today when I drove by a Wonder Bread surplus store. Do you have one of those in your area???
Interstate Bakeries is the name of the company that owns Hostess. 1,000 units of donut gems is not exactly a small order, they may be willing to deal with you directly. http://www.interstatebakeriescorp.com/
I'd contact their marketing department and see if they can't refer you to a route salesman in your area that could sell you the product directly. Their delivery people are independent contractors. Interstate Bakeries also has thrift or seconds stores in a lot of cities, but I doubt that any one would have 1,000 units on hand at a given time. If you've got a thrift or second store near you they might be willing to work with you to get that much product in for you.

Well if an unskilled but motivated person can kill/maim/injure before you can react because the weapon is unseen then you have lost already. If you see the edged weapon and A. either dont have an edged weapon that you have access to or B. have an edged weapon that you have access to but do not have the skills/training needed to use it correctly you have also lost.
IMO at contact distances a person skilled with an edged weapon can defeat a person with a firearm on a regular basis simply because most individuals once the blade makes contact and causes pain they no longer wish to play because they lack the mindset and determination to carry on.
A firearm is a one directional weapon meaning you have to be in front of the muzzle to get killed/maimed/injured unless it is used as a club whereas the blade in the right hands is a multi directional weapon that can cause great harm with the flick of the wrist.
Remember before you start bashing I am talking about "contact distances" 0 to 6 feet, the hole, arms reach, whatever you want to call it it is a place you dont want to be because at this distance as was stated an unskilled but motivated person can cause great bodily harm armed or not before you can react or as Al Pacino said in Scarface "Say hello to my little friend". Sorry Mercop I could not resist.

Last hours to vote early before Tuesday's primary
Updated On: Aug 23 2014 10:15:12 AM EDT
Early voting in advance of Tuesday's primary ended Saturday in most northeast Florida counties, but continues through Sunday in Jacksonville and Bradford County.
Through Saturday, 36,268 votes were cast in Duval County -- 23,759 verified mail-in ballots and 12,509 at the 18 early voting sites around Jacksonville. That's just over 6.5 percent of registered voters.
Early voting sites in NE Florida counties
WHO'S ON THE BALLOT? Voter's guide
Duval County Elections Supervisor Jerry Hollands said turnout is typically low for primary. He expects about 20 percent of registered voters to cast ballots by the time polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Holland is said that even though turnout is expected to be low, his staff still prepares like they do for every election.
"It really gets everything going. It's a live election for us, we count every ballot but it also tests everything out for the general election coming up November 4th," Holland said.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Atheros AR5007 802.11 e/g problem
I recently updated my machine from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate (realize this may be the problem) on my HP Pavilion dv6700 laptop and since I did so, I am unable to connect to the WEP secured wifi connection in my house. I understand more info may be needed but any ideas would be helpful thanks!

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Disable your router security and see if you can connect. If you can, I'll wager it's a HEX vs ASCII issue you're having. Go here and generate a WEP key - you'll have access to the ASCII and HEX versions. Copy both to a text file, then enable WEP again and use the new generated key. If the ASCII doesn't work on the computer, try the HEX version.
But, in all honesty, you should use WPA2 with AES, if your hardware supports it. WEP is a very weak form of protection, and it isn't really recommended any more.

Just so you know, a Neil Diamond show isn't only for the ladies. Neil, my friends, is universal. The man is a legend; the scope of his contributions to pop music is decades long. From his Brill Building days in the early- to mid-'60s when he penned "I'm a Believer" for the Monkees, to when he broke as a solo artist with "Solitary Man," he continued to gain a massive following that, yes, may be composed primarily of women. But it's his knack for timeless songwriting that makes him a legend. Forgiving the slightly overwrought emotion of his songs from time to time, his worldwide popularity is not just a gender-based one, but a phenomenon based on catchy, singable tunes that have stood the test of time. The chest-baring shirts, however, could probably stand to stay in the past.

BEIJING (AP) - A warehouse explosion killed 18 people and
injured six at a coal mine in central China, state television said
The blast in remote mountainous Hunan province Friday afternoon
also left two missing.
Television footage showed the building was almost flattened by
the blast, with a truck 50 meters away bent out of shape.
The report said police are investigating whether explosives were
stored illegally in the warehouse at the Daling mine in Yongxing
One shareholder of the mine is already "under police control,"
state-run CCTV reported, and authorities are seeking the other
Beijing has promised for years to improve mine safety, but
China's mining industry remains the world's deadliest.
A blast at the Tunlan coal mine in northern China's Shanxi
province killed 77 people in February, China's worst industrial
accident in a year.

I didn't attend, though evidently there was some drama LJ-style in the comments to the announcement.
Metro Makeout
Including mine.
This past weekend I almost decided not to attend the Metro Makeout party taking place on Vancouver's SkyTrain, my excuse being that because of the media attention, it would be attended by enough people to 'document' it. Though I didn't participate, I'm glad I went, and even took some photos of the event. (If you're squeamish about girls and dudes making out with each other, then there are better links to click on than that one.) For some background and photos, see the writeup of the 8 Hour Makeout as well as the follow-up of Metro Makeout by the event's organizer. Like I said, I didn't participate, the excuse being that all the people kissing were gay, which is of course bullshit because not all of them strictly identified themselves as such, so it was mostly squeamishness of kissing someone I never met. It got a little steamy at one point, especially on the way back, and the reactions of the onlookers was worth the price of admission (note: there was no price of admission, and no political statement other than that kissing is fun).
It looks like Roland is trying to give Vancouver the label "Makeout City", and though Jay has a lock on both the domain and the phrase, the sentiment is right. Team Makeout wants to give this city a kick in the pants, and their events, pseudo-secret up until close to when the event occurs, are steps in the right direction.

If your CEO is a genuine prick, there's nothing I can say here that can help you guard yourself against his decisions.
You are correct, its a buse of cheap labor. He knows the my soul is in his hands to renew my work permit, that's why he is doing that to me.
If your manager is an average manager, he will know once you put effort into your job, and he will tell his superior when there's a problem. I say you try not to worry so much about it (I know it's easier said than done, too!), and keep doing the best you can.
I don't think a good person will fire you if you try your best.

Aspen, Colo. (AP) - Aspen officials are devising a plan to repair grave markers from the city's 119-year-old cemetery and clear weeds from the location.
The Aspen City Council has budgeted about $35,800 for the work and the Colorado Historical Society has matched that amount. The city has hired a man who specializes in preserving historic cemeteries to craft a plan outlining the work that needs to be done.
Besides weeds, old Aspen trees are also in danger of falling on the grave makers.
The Aspen Grove Cemetery is the city's second oldest. As many as 1,000 Aspen residents are buried there, including some of the city's early mayors.

Hype is something I dont really ascribe to, which was when Bioshock came out, I was more than a little bit suspicious. As it turns out: I was wrong.
Its 1960, the Cold War is still in high gear, and America is in the middle of its Red Scare phase. In the midst of all of this, one man, Andrew Ryan, sought to create his own utopia under the sea.
Of course, all is not good in paradise (or, rather: Rapture), and the world is slowly coming apart. The basic forces that hold the city together are being wrought apart by the pressure of rust and erosion, while something is slowly driving the whole place mad.
Sights and Sounds
Wow, just wow. I am addressing this first, because you have to address this before you talk about more technical issues.
From the get-go, the game immerses you in an immensely dystopic vision of the world in 1960. Art deco styled buildings and furnishings fill every corner of immense corporate sky rises, when in the recesses, the basements, you find bizarrely technical gadgets and rusted pipes everywhere.
You walk into a bar, or at least you think it was a bar based off of the sparking, shorted-out neon sign. As the door slides open, the sounds of some wobbling 1960s lounge fills the air. You hear then in a corner, something else, "Jesus loves me, this I know, because the Bible tells me so " the deranged voice sings. Shadows dance in the corners of your eyes and suddenly the background music is playing a haunting chord which does not distort the music playing in the jukebox, but rather just makes it seem very insidious. From the ceiling, a bloody, ragtag figure jumps down out at you. It's wearing a beaten up rabbit mask. You swing your crowbar, hitting the creature across the eyes, killing it and knocking off the mask to reveal a face warped, cut, and covered in lesions similar to nerve gas poisoning or severe burns.
He is called a splicer, and you will see much worse than him.
Controls (for the Xbox360)
Ive tried a lot of games that try to do magic with conventional weaponry, and often it is with mixed results. It was good to see then that this system worked fairly well together.
It is convention FPS fare, with the main difference being that you assign a plasmid, or magic-type attack to your left trigger, and a weapon to your right. In this way, you switch between the two not by pressing a hotkey, but simply by pulling the trigger once to bring it up, and then again to use it. You switch between powers and weapons on the fly using the shoulder buttons which call a menu up that also pauses the game, so you dont get killed switching from your wrench to your pistol.
My only complaint is how awkward they made switching ammo types, which use the d-pad. This almost forces you to take your thumb off of the movement stick, which makes changing from anti-personnel to armor piercing rounds a real pain when you accidentally clipped that Big Daddy when you were fighting off splicers.
Final Thoughts
This game has at least two points where you think you're going to be done with it, and youre wrong, it keeps going. Just when you think you're going to get a resolution, you dont. Needless to say, walking into Andrew Ryans office is one of the most ground breaking days of your gaming career.
Solid gameplay with a few bugs. The controls were good, though the scaling system for difficultly makes the lowest peons take several shotgun shells to the face later on in the game before they die.
Also, your dependence on hacking everything really slows the game down. Plus, you get tired of playing the hacking mini-game.

Rage Against the Machine rocker Tom Morello has spoken out in defense of Jay-Z and Beyoncé after they were criticized for heading out to Havana, Cuba for their five-year anniversary a few days ago.
Despite their high stature appeal, Morello said Jigga and Bey should not have to endure the wrath of angry Cuban activists.
Tom Morello from "Rage Against the Machine" says everyone needs to stop bitching about Jay-Z and Beyonce's Cuba trip. Tom was out in L.A. Friday, when our photog ask the rocker — who's a pretty well known political activist and founder of the non-profit "Axis of Justice" — about the controversial trip to the country famous for cigars and human rights violations. Unlike lots of others …Tom had their back. "I've been there a couple of times and it's a great place to visit. I don't know what their experience was but I've been there a few times. Audioslave played there. It was very interesting and very different from the portrayal of it by a lot of the mainstream US media. You, me and Jay-Z should be able to go to Cuba if we want to.

Cuban activist Maurico Claver-Carone publicly spoke out against the mega couple heading into the weekend.
Mauricio Claver-Carone, the D.C. director for the US-Cuba Democracy PAC — a group committed to fighting for democracy in Cuba — tells TMZ the A-listers should've educated themselves about what's really going on there before taking photo ops. Jay and Bey were photographed Thursday in Havana — reportedly to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary — but have since come under fire from some Cuban-American groups. (TMZ)
Photos of Young Hov and Bey enjoying their anniversary bubbled across the Internet heading into the weekend.

They also reportedly dined on some of the local food and took photos with the residents.
The couple dined with the mothers and another man Wednesday evening at the La Guarida restaurant, according to People.com. One of the restaurant's waitresses, Silvia Fernandez, told the publication that said Beyonce looked "beautiful without a drop of make up on." On Thursday they toured colonial Old Havana surrounded by body guards. Wearing dark glasses Beyonce posed with several school children before the couple went into a restaurant whose rooftop terrace boasts a sweeping view of the harbor. (CBS Local)

An optimal diet should consist of at least 50% raw vegetables and fruits to fight off inflammation, cancer and other diseases. If you just aren't there yet, do your best to at least have one green salad every day. Nutritional yeast is one of my best go-to items in the cupboard. It is gluten free, high in fiber, protein and vitamin B12. It has an almost parmesan cheese flavor so it is a great substitute for cheese in salads. Here is a delicious and easy salad to supercharge your energy.
mix together and keep in the fridge for 1 week in a sealed bottle or jar.
1 tbsp hemp oil
2 tbsp cold pressed olive oil
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp balsamic vinegarette
a few shakes of cracked himalayan sea salt
Green Chard
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1/4 sliced yellow or red bell pepper
slivered green onions
handful of raw cashews
Home made bacon chips- I get the Black Forest bacon from Whole Foods
Chop up salad and serve with the dressing! Also can sprinkle more Nutritional yeast on top of the salad. Easy!
