" ^ -�.�' �!��' � '= J-----L, ollege News VOL. XVI, NO. 9 BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11,1929 PRICE, 10 CENTS Hypotheses of Religion Presented by Dr. Hart Dr. Horriell Hart led the Vespers service of the Bryn Mawr League on Sunday, November 24. He began his . talk by saying that aviation had gone through three, stages in the long Course of human culture�the mythical stage in which magical devices as the flyirig Arabian carpets were employed, the metaphysical or theoretical stage when it was imagined that a globe of copper from wjrich the air had been exhausted would be capable of raising a ship, and the modern experimental stage which is entirely objective arid scientific. Psychology is a second notable example of this idea which can be applied to alt the sciences. The "first stage was one of animistic, magi- cal theories, in which the body was thought to have several detachable souls. This was followed by meta- physics or the process of making the facts logically consistent with the ideas bf the psychologists. Now It is known that scientists must go to the actual phenomenon, observe and organize their material carefully, and draw con- clusions from these results. August Comte, the father of Sociol- ogy, 'says' that all human thought passes through three stages. These are the theological phase, when phe- nomena are ascribed to the action of spirits or other disembodied entities, the metaphysical phase wfiiCh hypothe- cates intellectual abstractions as the cause of phenomena, and the. postivis- tic or final phase. Positivism abandons the hypothetical and is only interested in observing and controlling "positive phenomena. Following this theory Dr. Harry Elmer Barnes demanded that there be a change in the present con- ception of God, saying that the ortho- dox religious complex is the most malignant complex afflicting humanity and must be gotten rid of. Comte es- tablished a religion of humanism which has for its object nothing spiritual or supernatural but the advancement of the welfare of mankind. It is a ques- tion whether we can have a positivistic, humanistic religion in that sense. One definition of religion is an en- tering into social relations with super- human entities, and all branches of re- ligion are founded on this conception of direct personal contact with a deity. The problem is whether we are be- traying our. loyalty to science by cred- iting religion with our belief. Dr. Barnes says that he believes in a god but that man must of necessity give up the ideas that the Bible was liter- ally inspired, that Jesus was more-than an ordinary man, that the human soul survives bodily death, and that we may enter into personal relations with our deity. The vast abysms of space and the spirit of the universe preclude any such possibility. m J Dr. Hart iaid that he proposed CALENDAR Friday and Saturday evenings, Decem- ber 13 and 14:. . � - � The Varsity* Players will present The Second-Shepherds' Play and The Offering of the Magi, two pld Eng- lish miracle plays. Monday evening, December .16: The Abbe Dimnet will speak. Tuesday, December 17: The Theatre Guild will present Pgymaliatt. New York Theatre Guild to Present Pygmalion On Tuesday afternoon, December 17, the New York Theatre Guild will pre- sent Shaw's Pygmalion in Goodhart Hall. This will be the second event in the Bryn Mawr Series this year. The part of Eliza Doolittle, the flower girl, will be played by Frieda Inescort. Miss Inescort is the daughter of Elaine Inescort, a well-known English actress. She is best known for her playing in Galsworthy's Escape, with Leslie How- ard, and last year, as Portia in Arliss' and Winthrop Ames' Merchant of Venice. Dudley Digges will take the part of Alfred Doolrttte. He came to the United States in 1905, and became stage man- ager for George Arliss. Previous to that he had been a founder of the Irish Na- tional Theatre which later became the famous Abbey Theatre of Dublin. He has appeared in some thirty plays during the past.ten years, and has directed many notable stage productions. . Elliot Cabot is a graduate of Harvard and Cambridge, and a descendant of. the John and Sebastian Cabot who followed Columbus to the New World. He will play the part of Henry Higgins. He will be remembered for his work in the New York production of Coquette. Other players in the company are Phyllis Connard, as Clara Hill; Winifred Hanley, as Mrs. Hill; P. J, Kelly, a member of many Hampden and Sothern and Marlowe companies, as a Bystander; Geoffrey Harwood, as Freddy Hill: Percy Waram, as Colonel Pickering; Maurice Wells, as another Bystander; Edgar Kent, as The Sarcastic Bystander; Ruby Hallier, as Mrs. Pearce; Jane Wheatley, of Faversham's all-star cast in Julius Caesar, as Mrs. Higgins, and Margaret de Mille, daughter of William de Mille, the screen director, as a Maid. to attack this idea and started by a con- sideration of the underlying branches of primitive religion�magic and anim- ism, which are two different ways, of dealing with mana Or that _ thrilling, jnysterious, wonder-working, power with its dynamic emotional connec- tions, which makes things holy and worth while. To the primitive, magic was a mechanical device fof manipu- lating mana. One fundamental inter- pretation of magic is that it consists of systematized, falacious thinking, or the misapprehension of the association of ideas. All over the world primitives have imitated in a small way what they want to happen, as in the case of filling a shell to overflowing to induce rain, or damaging an image of a per- son in order to bring harm to that per- son. This is known as mimetic magic. Often ideas become associated througrf . coincidence, and people are seen to wear talismans to ward off danger. Even orthodox anthropologists admit that magic occasionally works, as in . the case of the savage who had a taboo of bananas, and died from eating from, a bowl in which bananas had recently been. This was explained- by psy- chologists as suggestion, by which the dynamic powers of the individual were Coatfaae* e� Pace Three de Laguna Studies Eskimos Frederica de Laguna, European Fellow of the class of 1928, returned on Monday from her travels. During the past sum- mer and fall Miss de Laguna has been in Greenland, on an uninhabited island. She and a Mr. Mathiassert, an expert on Greenland archeology, have been excavat- ing an ancient Eskimo kitchen-midden, in the hope of being able to throw some light On the troublesome problem of Eskimo origins. Their efforts were re- warded with finds of thousands of speci- mens of ancient Eskimo culture. The island upon which the kitchen- midden is situated lies five hundred miles within the Arctic Circle. The archeolo- gists were able to live in tents during the summer months; they wore Eskimo clothing, and had an Eskimo family with them. However, their work had to stop when it became too cold for the land to thaw for another year. Miss de Laguna sailed for Greenland from Copenhagen �on June first and returned there on No- vember first. Romanticism Defined &y PrirfesKjHfects: Spanish Romantic Movement Is Freer But Shorter Than the French. NEVER PSEUDO-CLASSIC Varsity Dramatics Expresses Appreciation On Friday and Saturday evenings of this week the Varsity Players will pre- sent in Goodhart Hall the two Old Eng- lish miracle plays: "The Second Shep- herd's Play" and "The Offering of the Magi." The first of^hese is directed by C. Rieser, '31, assisted by M. Drake', '31; the second by E. Dyer, '31, assisted by M. Drake, '31. The Varsity Players wish to express their thanks and appreciation for the in- valuable assistance of the English Depart- ment, especially Miss Donnelly. Miss Gary, Mis* Garvin and Dr. Herben, and for the services of Mr. Alwyne and*Mr. Willoughby, of .the Mask Department, in the training of the carol singers. On Wednesday evening Professor E Allison Peers spoke on French and Spanish Romanticism in the Music room of Goodhart Hall. Professor Peers is Gilmour Professor of Spanish. at the University of Liverpool and visiting pro- fessor at Columbia University. *. "Some months ago," began Professor Peers, "a group of college students held a debate on the question of what was the most misunderstood word in the English language. Some suggested the word so- cialism, others mysticism, but finally the vote of the majority decided upon the word romanticism. Many people have no conception of what the word means. Others understand it only in a popular sense, murmuring ,'how romantic' when they see the moon upon the snow. And there are still others who know the tech- nical sense, but just in one particular application.. Tonight. I want to begin by considering roin#nrMsrn in general,' then romanticism in France, and finally romanticism in Spain.) �� "You can arrive at the basic meaning of romanticism by opposing it to clas- sicism. The classicist with -firm self- possession restrains his imagination in obedience to classic form; the romanticist gives his imagination full rein. So the distinction between the two is. the dis- tinction between freedom and restraint. The romanticist objects to the classicist's rules and the classicist objects to the romanticist's disordertiness. With ro- manticism we associate such things as tombs, Gothic architecture, and melan- choly. I wish to prove that those things which we think of in connection with romanticism come from the basic idea of freedom and restraint. A Definition of Romanticism "Classicism is clear-cut, hard-edged; romanticism has a literature (for to- night we are limiting our study of ro- manticism to literature) that is vague, dreamy, and suggestive. Secondly, classicism is objective and makes very little mention of the individual; ro- manticism is subjective, individual, and personal. This is natural because a person who is unrestrained in conver- sation talks largely of himself. The classicist,- on the other hand, restrains himself and thus speaks mainly of things without rather than those within. From this individualism of the romanticist springs the aspiration for the unattainable and the vague, generally dreamy speculation: where do I come from and whither do I go? From the subjectivism of the roman- ticist arise certain degrees of melan- choly or depression, the French 'mal de siecle' which influences -Goethe to describe romanticism as sickness and classicism as health. Thirdly, classi- cism fc? exclusive ~aiid selective; f<� nianticism is inclusive. Since he has been given an unlimited amount of freedom the romanticist goes to all ages, all times, all minds, all litera- tures, and all countries for his sources. He is cosmopolitan and for that rea- son his literature is abundant and fer- tile. The classicist finds what is com- mon to all the countries of the world; he is the universalist. The romantic tourist buys picture postal cards of all the places which he visits and carries home an enormous amount of baggage; the classicist tries to discover what there is worth his notice in the people of the countries in which he travels. This may seem to be eulogizing the classicist, but it is very easy to see that the classicist may frequently fail to preserve what is worth preserving, while the romanticist, with all his bag- gage, -has got it all. "Now I hope that I have given you an idea of romanticism as a background for a talk on romanticism in two par- ticular countries. If romanticism in general is not understood Spanish ro- (�mtinar* on Page Thrrr ' meeting '�. There will-be a.meeting of the Liberal Club on Sunday evening, December the fifteenth. There will be an outside speaker on some sub- ject connected with socialism. His name, add the hour of the meeting will be announced later. Miracle Play Origins Told by Miss Carey On Thursday, December 5, Miss Carey spoke in chapel on the background of the fourteenth century Christmas plays which are to be presented by Varsity Players. "The plays chosen by any stu- dent body in some sort reflect, I suppose, the temper of that body. So it is that the socially-minded college to which I be- longed gave Shaw, the post war Bryn Mawr was interested in Ibsen, and the present generation gives light comedy of manners, like Bellairs and The Admirable. Crichton. m. "What has determined the present plan of the Varsity Players to turn back to the Middle Ages I do not know. One rumor has it that last spring Princeton suggested the suitability of the pro- scenium arch invCoodhart to a medieval play. And certainly the Gothic quality �aV-tkis. building, leads itself delightfully to such an idea. But on whatever reason may rest the decision of the Varsity Players, the fact remains that the college is to have the rather unique opportunity of seeing revived two fourteenth century Christmas plays which are to be pre- sented, I understand, as nearly as pos- sible as they were in their own time. "Interesting as these plays are in them- selves one's pleasure cannot but be in- creased by knowing something about their background.- And so perhaps you will forgive me for attempting the impossible, by trying in two separate chapel peri- ods to sjcetch in some of this back- ground. The subject is so tremendous that it must inevitably be limited, first to a few general remarks about the medieval drama, and second, to a dis- cussion of English Shepherd Plays. "Most of you know probably that some time after the .demise of the Roman the- atre under the influence of Christianity,, the drama was reborn in the liturgy"of the Church. Perhaps you do not know how amusing and human are both its ori-> gins and development. Picture a group of spirited monks in the monastery of St. Gall in Switzerland, famous for its beautiful music. Remember that into the church of the Middle Ages were prone to go all thoughtful men, most men of intellect, sensitiveness, and imagination. Fancy that a very gifted monk is prac- ticing the choral portions of. the liturgy and lets slip into the part he is singing elaborations, at first slight and then ex- tensive. Combine these elaborations with the fact that pageantry is innate in the Catholic service and you have the origin of the whole story. Beginning with a simple question and answer^ known as the quern quaeritis, in the Easter and Christ- mas service the liturgy expands tos admit a dramatic representation of various Bible stories. The gap is filled between Christ- mas and Easter in Christ's life; the Old Testament stories are developed logi- cally backwards, through dramatizing the loves of the Old Testament prophets who foretell Christ's birth. "So arises the liturgical drama�acted in the Church by priests and choir boys in their clerical robes. The tone is solemn, the Latin words follow those of the Vulgate," the purpose is purely re- ligious. Then something begins to hap- pen. A monk here and there with a humorous bent sees possibilities itfeertain Summer School at Deanery Five Speakers Tell of Work in AH of Its As- peers. MISS THOMAS FOUNDER The Summer School reception was held at the Deanery Sunday' evening, December 8, through the courtesy of President Emeritus, Miss M. Carey Thomas. Miss Thomas welcomed the under- graduates to the Deanery, and intro- duced the Chairman of the Summer School Committee of the Bryn Mawr League, Miss Angelyn Burrows. "I am sure," Miss Burrows said,, "that everyone gives thanks to President Thomas, who has made possible this f� reception at the Deanery; very few students know what the Summer School really means, and I think that tonight we will hear all sides of the question." Miss Burrows presented Miss Hilda Smith, Director of the Summer School. stories. An ointment seller is introduced into the Easter service; the part of Herod is expanded in the Christmas play. One can take any liberties at all with his part for he is a foul fiend who pursued and persecuted the infant Christ. So his words become even in the Latin liturgical plays left to us ranting and pompous. They can slip over very easily into the absurd burlesque which we find in all the. English Herod plays. You will remember that as the plays grow longer and more humorous ^hey move from the choir of- th� ^G�tbi<|dral into CattaM aa FM*inrir� Summer School Director Speaks Miss Smith opened her address by saying that of the many meetings re- garding the Summer School held all over the United States and Europe, the meeting here on the Bryn Mawr campus is the most significant, for the people most concerned with the Sum- mer School are the "winter studenta." It is an experiment in education at our own doors. This year is the tenth an- niversary year of the Summer School; in 1921 President Thomas came back from a trip to the East and proposed that the College .buildings should be used in summer for factory workers. The results of that idea concern a group in society that has little oppor- tunity for education; many have gone to work very young, and it is diffi- cult for factory workers to study after the day's work; many have strug- gled through night-school only to find the schooling not adapted to their needs. In the middle of June one hun- dred industrial workers gather from all over on the Bryn Mawr campus; a small group come from Europe and add a real international element to the mixture. Last year fifteen nationalities were represented, and twenty-five dif- ferent trades. Many~ make a great sacrifice and meet great opposition in daring to think of going' to Bryn Mawr; friends cannot discourage them even though," in addition to losing wages, the girl risks losing her job. "I wish you could meet some of the students"; there are different types and they have a variety of interests; hardly two people agree on anything, and "tolerance sizzles on the campus.1' The course is eight weeks in length; the students are required to take Eco- nomics and English, and there is the choice of a course in Psychology, His- tory or Science; the class in Appre- ciation of MusicJs-eagerly sought. The curriculum is planned to give each student a better understanding of in- dustrial problems; factory workers do not comprehend what is happening to them in their industries, and Econom- ics gives them an actual understanding that/is the most valued gain; from English they secure power of expres- sion in writing and in speaking, and they feel that they have more to give to their fellow workers; the other sub- jects are all definitely related to the need of the industrial worker. It is hard to interest them in the recreational program, for they want to study all the time: that eagerness means a "unique spirit" in the school; however, there are the school tradi- tions�the Trade Party/and the Inter- national Festival�a* well as'fhe vari- ous sports. - - The results oi the school are difficult to trace, but it has been tried hi the lives and doings of the former students; one letter said: "A world of knowledge has opened its door to me: I intend to do what I can to try and solve the great problem of industry: my mind is like day Caatlaaed �>� Patf* F*ar &

Belching is the act of bringing up air from the stomach.
Burping; Eructation; Gas - belching
Belching is most often a normal process. The purpose of belching is to release air from the stomach. Every time you swallow, you also swallow air, along with fluid or food.
The buildup of air in the upper stomach causes the stomach to stretch. This triggers the muscle at the lower end of the esophagus (the tube that runs from your mouth to the stomach) to relax. Air is allowed to escape up the esophagus and out the mouth.
Excessive or repeated belching may be caused by swallowing air without realizing it (aerophagia).
Belching may last longer or be more forceful depending on what is causing it. Symptoms such as nausea, dyspepsia , and heartburn may be relieved by belching.
You can get relief by lying on your side or in a knee-to-chest position until the gas passes.
Avoid chewing gum, eating quickly, and eating gas-producing foods and beverages.
Most of the time belching is a minor problem. Call a health care provider if the belching does not go away, or if you also have other symptoms.
Your health care provider will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
You may need more tests based on what the health care provider finds during your exam and your other symptoms.

The density of misinformation and mythological grab-bagging there is impressive. I could write a lot about the pyramid example at the beginning (and most other 30-second chunks picked at random). But then, the video was posted by a "nwosatire" and that may have been intentional.Mr. Sefrol wrote:Edit: also, here's a documentary that's pretty odd... but it's an interesting bit of hypothesized human history I've never heard of. Hidden Human History Movie. It also tells of why the Mayan calendar tells of what would supposedly be an apocalypse. If you don't want to watch it all, it says today is supposed to be the day of some equinox where the poles shift full throttle and everyone forgets everything because we can't protect ourselves from the fluctuation of the magnetic fields that mess with us, like they do with plenty of other animals. Just food for thought.

Rated 3 out of 5 by lkokot OK Quality
The products is not as high quality as other OP products I purchased. Really thin and the ends of sleeves don't have stitching so it has potential to get ruined after few washes.
December 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by OrlandoRocks Cheap
While the price was right for the hoodie, but it lacks proper hemming on the sleeves that makes the hoodie look cheap. Considering sending it back to the store. Not up to original penguin standards.
December 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kesh Looks great, fits great, but thin.
This is a great hoodie for those who live in warmer climates. It's a lot thinner than expected and will not really keep you warm in temps below 60-65 F, but it looks, fits, and feels great!
December 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by PaulieMichigan Comfortable, but thin
I initially thought my item was defective because the sleeves are not hemmed at the edge but rather a few mm above. This leads to constant fraying of the sleeves and looks torn and uncared for. Perhaps that is the style that they are going for. I got this at ~$24 shipped but the product was still a bit disappointing and left some quality to be desired. It is comfortable, but it is also very thin material, as you may well know if you regularly purchase Penguin.
December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chocolatee Mediocre
The jacket has nice colors and seems stylish on the site but in person the ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the jacket itself seem ripped as chosen for the style and it makes the entire jacket look cheap and not well made.Overall I regret the purchase but not enough to have to pay more money to ship it back.
December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ruben RN Great buy
comfortable, not to heavy in materials, easy to wear even if it is warm

Rated 5 out of 5 by TJ the golfer Great quality, has nice feel
Perfect thickness for the in between weather. Doesnt get too hot or cold. Great quality and classic look.
May 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by RK Not quite what I was hoping for...
Not quite as good as my other Penguin hoodie. Cheaper material and ran much bigger, even though both were same size.

Disney Theatrical Productions Presents 'Newsies The Musical' on Broadway - Nederlander Theatre Through December 31, 2012 - Manhattan
Set in New York City at the turn of the century, this movie-turned-musical is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets.

"Newsies" is inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphan and runaway newsies on a two-week-long action against Pulitzer, Hearst, and other powerful newspaper publishers. The stage version introduces several brand-new songs by the original team while keeping many of the beloved songs from the film, including "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," "King of New York," and "Santa Fe."

The Art of 'Rise of the Guardians' - Museum of the Moving Image Through March 03, 2013 - Astoria
"Rise of the Guardians," the new animated feature from DreamWorks Animation, is a visually enthralling film based on William Joyce's "The Guardians of Childhood" book series, with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and other beloved characters reinterpreted as action heroes in a parable about the ongoing struggle between good and evil. This gallery exhibition takes a look behind the scenes, revealing the innovative collaborative process behind the making of the film. Original artwork, both digital and hand-drawn, an exclusive time-lapse video presentation of in-process footage progressing to the finished film, and a revealing documentary that takes us into the DreamWorks Animation studio, show how the colorful world of the movie and its memorable characters were created. An accompanying film series, with screenings every Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and special holiday screenings, offers visitors the opportunity to experience the finest films from DreamWorks Animation, including the Shrek and Madagascar series, "Antz," "How to Train Your Dragon," and much more, in a theatrical setting. Note: The documentary "Creating an Epic" (directed by Patrick Hanenberger; 70 minutes) will screen continuously in the Bartos Screening Room from 2pm-close on weekdays and 12-6pm on weekends. The exhibit is organized by guest curator Jenny He and chief curator David Schwartz, presented with support from DreamWorks Animation.
Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day. Lush images featuring their diversity and visual impact are on view in the gallery space. The New York Botanical Garden is home to more than 30,000 trees, some in woodland, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

5 Excellent racing game for any race fansDagg3rz | 13/10/2012 | See all Dagg3rz's reviews (1)Based on what I have experienced so far in the demo and the majority of online reviews, this is the est open world driving game created to date. No Framerate dropouts, gorgeous graphics, awesome cars, and a little bit of story that F4 was missing. Can't wait!
5 based on demoBROCKAUSTIN | 12/10/2012 | See all BROCKAUSTIN's reviews (3)reviewers below say they cant just roam/drive and nothing compared to tdu2, yes you cant drive far but this is purely cause its a DEMO and your restricted but on the full game you can just cruise, do dirt racing,street racing etc..the map is huge and you can race when you want and when you don't want to you can cruise miles of open road and find hidden cars that need restoring. im a massive forza fan and everything thats forza is in this games only difference is the handling in the sense of not simulated more need for speed.
5 An amazing game that I poured hours intoIbsy23 | 26/11/2012 | See all Ibsy23's reviews (6)I consider myself a driving/racing game fan, but I can be picky about what I enjoy. I really enjoyed Test Drive Unlimited (TDU), thought TDU2 had its moments, loved Dirt 2 but not 3 as much, loved Forza 3 but not 4 as much. That said, Forza Horizon hits a sweet spot that has me completely hooked to it.The basic premise is an open world, with a good choice of cars. The cars are king in this game, with the focus clearly being on them, rather than any ridiculous side-story (I'm looking at you TDU2!). The big names including Lamborghini are here, except for Porsche, but having RUF will, to a certain extent, fill that niche. Within a brand are a wide range of models, with anything from an Aston Martin DB5 of yesteryear to a modern day One-77 to choose from.For what I want from a racing game, the handling is perfect. I've heard dedicated racing gamers and journalists say that the handling can still feel a little simplified and not a 1-2-1 simulation of actual driving, but if you appreciate that it's close, and not trying to be a direct simulation, then it's close enough for most. If you're a beginner, you can have a multitude of assists on, while those more experienced can turn off your racing line, ABS, automatic gearbox, rewind features etc., and be rewarded for doing so by getting cash multipliers for winning races with these assists off. Cars have enough character to feel unique, and you'll definitely have to adjust your driving style from one car to the next. Just upgrading your car, using the typical suite of Forza tools, can drastically alter the feel of a car (as you'd expect).The world itself is big but not huge. Don't go into this game expecting 2 islands to play with, but do expect to be able to get lost in the scenery through simply enjoying driving. The graphics (in my opinion) are gorgeous, with the graphics engine really bringing out the best in the cars and the scenery. The day night cycle brings with it some glorious sunsets, which you'll want to stop and admire, perhaps using the Photo Mode to capture the scene. The camera settings are also head and shoulders above TDU2's offering, with proper settings such as shutter speed, aperture, contrast, vignetting etc. that all come together to provide the tools for some great photos.I'm not a multiplayer kind of person, so look to another review for that, but I've heard it's pretty good - however the AI of cars in the world when playing offline can also create ridiculous fun, with other drivers actually going for it. In TDU you'd find another car which would only cruise around at low speed unless you started a race. Not only are instant challenges much better in Horizon (only 1 button to press before you're racing) but you'll find cars will actually push themselves outside of races, and so can be good fun to follow and race for miles, not just pass and then beat to a marker.All in all, this is a game that I had to buy having played the demo. Once the demo had its claws in me, I pre-ordered the game, and am so glad that I did. I'd recommend this game to anyone who likes open world driving games, or is looking for a driving game that can be serious when you want it to be, but on the surface is good fun.
1 worst forza evercritical1 | 27/10/2012 | See all critical1's reviews (12)just recieved in the post yesterday. i wish i never ordered it the car handling is poor to non existent when cornering and cant adjust through the settings. the game strays completely off from seasonal events and tries to be more like need for speed the run which is a much better game. better luck next year for forza
3 Test Drive Unlimited 3Rustiebin | 09/10/2012 | See all Rustiebin's reviews (17)Read all the preview write ups around the web that assured Horizons was not TDU3. Hmm well based on the demo it can only be described as TDU2 with a tweak or in other words, TDU3.A bit disappointing to say the least. Especially as it doesn't feel like you can go for a cruise, it constantly wants you to attend the next race. I don't want to race, i want to go cruising!Hopefully the full game will be better.

I figure a few games into ST it's probably about time to retire the offseason thread.
After a few games:
-Martinez looked really good other than giving up a 2R HR.
-Wacha was pretty bad in his first inning (but didn't allow a run) and pitched well in his 2nd inning (or 2/3 of an inning, that is).
-Kelly was bad today.
-Peralta hit 2HRs today, but apparently there was a ridiculous amount of wind which helped lazy fly balls get over the wall.
-Wong didn't look good in his first game. I haven't seen him since. I really really hope he pans out.
-We are in the market for Alemdys Diaz, Cuban SS defector. It sounds like he was overhyped though.

5 The Death of Brilliancegingergreek | 23/10/2008 | See all gingergreek's reviews (4)How can Channel 4 let a show like this disappear into obscurity? It's a sin!I can't think of anything bad to say about this series. It is up there with some of the other great comedies. Personally for me this is the BEST comedy of this side of the millenium. I'll treasure this forever and scold at Channel 4 for snubbing this for crap like "Star Stories and Friday night project"Buy it and lap up the genius!!
5 Obviously too young to remember.........FranDaMan | 02/02/2008 | See all FranDaMan's reviews (3)As this show was originally created in the early 80s, I would have been too young to remember its' author, Garth Marenghi, who created such classics as 'Slasher', 'Maggot' and the seminal 'She-Demon'.Greetings, fellow traveller, I am FranDaMan. Reviewer of such films as 'Transformers' and 'Family Guy - Blue Harvest'.No, seriously, I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!A lot of people try to get the spoof film/series thing right. This bad boy ticks all the boxes.MARVEL - At the solid-esque quality of the sets.SHUDDER - At the high-end special effects (no CGI here, folks)HOLD BACK THE VOMIT - At our Hero's corpulent, girthsome physique.Garth Marenghi's Darkplace........ Comedy doesn't get much better than this!!
5 Enter his darkplace and feel your way aboutLoveMe | 10/10/2008 | See all LoveMe's reviews (59)Genius and SO underrated on it's TV release.I love this show, it came before The IT Crowd and Mighty Boosh (both Matthew Holness & Richard Ayoade appear in these shows and Fielding & Barratt in this) and should have been as much a hit as those shows.I love Matthew Holness & Richard Ayoade - both sex gods in my deluded opinion.I guarantee that you've never seen anything quite like this - it's a 70's spoof sci-fi show, with supernatural goings on, but with a contemporary sense of humour.Really smart, well made and a joy to watch!Garth is an author genius who will take you to his dark place and you'll never come back!If you love the Boosh or Spaced, you'll love this too.At £5.99 it's a complete bargain for the whole series!Futurama hypno-slug "BUY IT...BUY IT...BUY IT...BUY IT...BUY IT..."
5 Author, Dream Weaver, Visionary, plus ActorMarkoos | 09/09/2008 | See all Markoos's reviews (16)Hilarious, original and clever. Sad to think no more will be made and it hasn't got the recognition it desverves, but it's rarity only adds to it's brilliance!!!
5 Pure GeniusJAMcNaughton | 03/07/2008 | See all JAMcNaughton's reviews (2)The best comedy in the last few years easily, possibly the best comedy in the last few decades - could even be the best comedy ever. So funny it you have to pause the dvd to laugh to make sure you don't miss anything. The only bad thing is that it ends.

What would you do to win a luscious cupcake the size of a baby's head? Break-dance for 30 seconds? Spit on a gerbil? Lick a gravestone?
The cast of Florida Studio Theatre's latest improv comedy show, "Just Desserts," did all of the above and more opening night.
The show is organized into improvised scenes based on theater games, with a designated performer assuming the role of director. The audience shouts "Yes!" or "No!" at the end of each scene, and the director is rewarded or penalized. At the end of the show, the winning director receives his or her "just desserts."
The opening-night audience members were delighted by the antics of the "sugar-holics" assembled to entertain them. My neighbor, who'd never seen live improv before, declared to me, "I loved it."
The show was as funny as a mouthful of marshmallows, which came spouting out of the maw of Adam Ratner during one scene. "Just Desserts" was appropriately full of spit-takes — ah, my favorite. Two guys chewing, like chipmunks, an entire box of crackers, without swallowing, produced the most sidesplitting minutes I ever spent in a theater. A close second was Ratner in a subway musical scene in which he had to spit-take a mouthful of water before singing.
Ratner has been performing improv in various guises at FST since he was a "wee lad." He is the co-author of the children's play, "Jack and the Enchanted Beanstalk," also currently in production at the theater.
"Just Desserts" is directed by Jeremy Lamb, a veteran of Second City; director of Available Cupholders, an Austin,Texas,-based improv troupe; and executive producer of Austin's Out of Bounds Comedy.
Under his direction, the first scene was an interview with an expert on unicycles, featuring Christine Alexander as the interpreter for the deaf. As one example of Alexander's notoriety for this scene, her "sign language" for the word "Sarasota" is an elderly person using a walker.
A founding member of FST and Lazy Fairy improv troupes, Alexander produces AnythingArts.com and Back Patio Productions.
Steve Turrisi, who was rightly belittled by his teammates as a first-time director and made to call his dad, who happened to be in the audience, nevertheless claimed the giant cupcake in the end. He is, after all, apparently the only person in the troupe capable of performing any type of sound effects.
As chock-full of nutty deliciousness as the performances were, the show should have allowed the audience members to compete for a cupcake as well. A scene called "Arms" was especially successful, thanks to the efforts of two onlookers chosen to go on stage to serve as the arms of two performers. The more animated the arms, the funnier the scene.

Questions and Answers
Just a thought I'm putting out there. I will include one example, look up the recent study on lesbians and the 75% rate of obesity among them. Lesbians obviously do not have a religion. Not insulting, just putting statistics. Then there is the stereotype of the "typical atheist". Stereotypes don't form out of thin air, they are formed when a trend is noticed.
Do you think religion promotes fitness overall?
Yes, the Bible does promote health and fitness.
For example, it says here that we should get enough sleep. "Better is a handful of rest than a double handful of hard work and striving after the wind." (Ecclesiastes 4:6)
The Bible also promotes being "moderate in habits." (1 Timothy 3:2) That includes our eating habits.
1 Timothy 4:8 also talks about exercising when it says "Bodily training is beneficial."
This is another interesting point: "A drunkard and a glutton will come to poverty."—Proverbs 23:21.
It also says here :"Wine is a ridiculer, intoxicating liquor is boisterous, and everyone going astray by it is not wise."—Proverbs 20:1.
There is more but i have to go now.
Also the principle of overload,specificity, and progression.
Health related fitness has to do with living a healthy and active life (cardiovascular health, body fat %, muscular strength). Skill related fitness is being good at a specific activity or sport. Overload is doing more work than what your body is used to so that it adapts to the new stimulus. Progression is slowly improving your performance over time. Specificity means that you are training in a particular way that works towards your goals (swimmers dont run to get in shape, and runners don't swim to get in shape).
Hello friends let me know where you can get health fitness tips. I have recently read blog related health and fitness and I found it helpful. I am looking for more same king of blog which I have read before. Please you may take a review and suggest me more. Thanks!
Blog: healthfitnesstipszone.blogspot.com.
Health and fitness centers are more in numbers where you can be trained to keep up your good health in good way. Inspite of visiting the Gym or health and fitness centers many a time, people are not able to maintain good health. Therefore one should maintain their daily diet along with the good exercise, by doing this you can maintain good health.

The development of immunoassays for sample analysis is important to support drug safety and toxicology studies and the critical decisions that lead to advancing drug candidates. Ideally, immunoassays are developed and validated prior to initiating in-life safety assessment studies, and those assays are validated in a good laboratory practice (GLP) or a fit-for-purpose compliant manner. Placement of toxicology and drug-safety studies often hinge on the ability of the ligand-binding assay laboratory to rapidly develop and validate pharmacokinetic and/or biomarker immunoassays.
Widely available platforms for the sandwich ELISA format include the following 96-well plate colorimetric ELISAs: Luminex's bead-based flow cytometry platform Meso Scale Discovery's (MSD's) platform, based on electrochemiluminescence The Gyros Gyrolab, the newest, automated platform that uses a novel compact disk (CD) format.
In addition to traditional ELISA, now decades old, these three technology platforms have proliferated in the past 10 years and are commonly found at life-science companies and CROs.
The traditional ELISAs, still commonly used, are labor intensive. The assays typically have a narrow dynamic range resulting in frequent repeat analyses when the unknown sample concentration is above the limit of quantification, and are less sensitive than sandwich assays performed on other platforms. Although readily available for many analytes and species, this platform is not capable of multiplexing. The development of multiplexing formats originated from customer demand to obtain more information from smaller sample volumes. Rodent species, especially mouse, have very limited blood volumes, which places limits on the number of samples that can be run.
The widely available Luminex platform is a bead-based flow cytometry system capable of multiplexing. When the assay is complete, a laser passes over the individual 5.5 µm beads. The laser excites the fluorochrome-conjugated detection antibody, and the light energy emitted is captured by a photomultiplier tube. In theory, 100 different ELISAs could be analyzed simultaneously from a single 100-µL sample.
