Family Ties
It all started with a tie. On a vacation in 1980, my wife and I motored up the beautiful California coast to the Monterey Peninsula. We spent a day in the lovely little town of Carmel. We were typical tourists, looking in all the windows but buying only a few postcards and a couple of T-shirts so people would know where we had been.
On this trip, however, we came across a unique Scottish shop on the main street of Carmel. Since my father's ancestors came from Scotland, I was immediately intrigued. We went inside and were greeted by a pleasant man who introduced himself as Mr. Robertson, the proprietor. What a coincidence! The two of us shared the same surname. As we looked at all the interesting items from the land of my ancestors, my heart began to beat faster.
These are clan plaids—tartans, I thought. There must be a Robertson tartan here somewhere.
When I asked, the proprietor graciously showed us the tie rack in the back of the store. "Wow!" was all I could say as he showed me not one, but five of the most beautiful plaid ties I had ever seen, and all of them from the Robertson clan.
I had no idea that a clan tartan could vary in color combination. Mr. Robertson explained that two were ancient plaids, with colors just as they appeared when they were made from the berries of the field—one in soft red and another in soft blue. The modern tartans were darker and more vibrant; again I marveled at the exquisite colors. The fifth tie was called a "weathered" tartan; it had gray and red tones, faded somewhat, but was as attractive as the others.
My thoughts went back to stories my father had told me about the kilt my grandpa wore. Although I had never seen the kilt, I could now visualize it clearly. Naturally, I bought five ties—one each of the color combinations. I was thrilled with the treasures I had found.
Then we looked around at the other ties representing tartans from numerous Scottish families. There must have been hundreds of them. I realized what a blessing it was that this bit of ancestral culture had been preserved over the years to be handed down from generation to generation.
When we returned to the motel, I took the ties from the package to examine them more closely. I noticed that each tie had a paper band around it. I opened one band and found on the back a brief history of the Robertson family.
I was thrilled as I read the history of some of the Robertson clan. As I read, I realized that not only was the information about the family priceless to me, but it would also be of great interest to others with my surname.
I have included the information from those little papers in a package containing my four-generation sheet, a letter introducing myself and explaining my interest in family history, and a copy of the Book of Mormon containing my testimony. I have sent that package to Robertsons all over the country. (I get the mailing lists from phone books.)
The response has been rewarding. Most recipients send thanks, and many even include their own family histories. Often they ask questions. Best of all, in each of those homes is a copy of the Book of Mormon.
In the Right Place at the Right Time
I awoke one morning with a thought I knew came from the Lord. "Sarah, if you will arise early today and read your scriptures, the Lord will give you a gift."
I followed the prompting, got up, read the scriptures, and said my morning prayer. I began my morning chores in anticipation of receiving guidance from the Spirit, and soon I received a strong feeling that I should visit my parents in Tennessee.
We were living in Utah at the time. I had seen my parents only a year earlier, but I called the travel agency anyway. I explained to the agent that I wanted roundtrip airfare but had only a small amount of money. I asked her if she could find a discounted airplane ticket. She laughed. In order to meet my request, she would have to find something less than half the regular price.
"I really don't think anything like that is available," she said, "but I will check the computer."
All day long I awaited her call. Finally, she called that evening.
"I don't know how this happened," she exclaimed, "but there are a few tickets available for the price you quoted me."
I was able to make the trip to Tennessee. My parents and I had a joyous reunion, but after a few days I began to wonder, "For what purpose did I come here?"
I explained my feelings to my mother, who was a not a member of the Church at the time. She told me about a woman whom she had met at the beauty parlor a few weeks earlier. The woman's married name was Street, which is my maiden name, and her husband had done extensive research on the Street family line.
I went to visit Clay and Martha Street. They met me with gentle graciousness. Clay showed me his family history, and I learned that we had the same family line. He gave me vital information about more than one hundred of our common ancestors. All of the dates necessary to perform their temple work had been carefully documented.
I was amazed as Clay, who was not a member of the Church, shared with me his desire to search out his family line. He told me of an experience he had had that was similar to my own. One day he had felt impressed to drive sixty miles to North Carolina to visit his aunt. There he copied all the names and information he found in the little local family cemetery. He suspected that some of the information dated back 130 years and that it was the only known source for the birth and death dates of these ancestors. When he arrived at his aunt's house that evening, he prepared his materials so he could return to the cemetery early the next morning.
That night, heavy rain began to fall, and Clay found he could not sleep. He became more and more anxious to get back to the cemetery. Finally, tired of fighting his feelings, he jumped out of bed, threw on his aunt's yellow raincoat and rain boots, grabbed her umbrella, and headed for the cemetery.
Using a flashlight, Clay guided his way through the downpour to the tombstones and copied down the names and dates he needed. Feeling satisfied, he returned to his aunt's house and slept through the night.
The next morning, he arose to a beautiful sunrise. The rainclouds were gone. Clay decided to drive over to the cemetery again and take one more look around. When he arrived at the cemetery, bulldozers were there. A house was being constructed nearby, and, without knowing it, the bulldozer operators were pushing dirt onto the little cemetery, covering it. He then understood why he had felt such a strong desire to go there the night before.
As I left the Streets' house to find a copy machine, Clay advised me to go to the one in the university library a few blocks away. I went there and copied all the materials. As I was paying the librarian, she said, "Oh, it looks like you are doing genealogy. What line are you working on?"
"Well, this is the Street line, but the line I really need is the Garland line from Carter County, Tennessee," I explained.
"Did you say 'the Garland line from Carter County'?" she asked.
"Yes," I answered, somewhat startled.
"There is a lady in the back room who is president of the Garland Family Research Club. Her main lines run out of Carter County, Tennessee," she said.
After talking to the woman in the back room, I left with information on more than one hundred of my ancestors—with everything documented and verified.
This all happened in one afternoon. I was thrilled and humbled at this great gift the Lord had given me. My husband and I, with the help of friends and family, eventually were able to do the temple work for more than two hundred of my ancestors.
This experience has been one of the highlights of my life. I know that many of my ancestors were ready and eager to have their temple work done. I felt them near me in the temple as I was doing their work. I had many sacred experiences in the temple, and doing the work for my ancestors brought a rich renewal of my faith in the power of the Lord.
Seventy-Generation Pedigree
The story of Tai Kwok Yuen's great-great-grandfather had been passed down for generations. Among family members, the tale of the fourteen-year-old Chinese orphan who sold himself into slavery to work in the gold fields of Australia was a favorite. The elders in the boy's former village heard nothing from the young man for forty years. Just as they decided to sell his house and divide up his property, they received a letter from the long-lost man informing them he was coming home. He did just that, married, and had two children.
When Kwok Yuen began studying at Sydney University in Australia, he jumped at the opportunity to verify the story and find out more about this well-known ancestor. Kwok Yuen had more than the usual interest the Chinese have in their ancestry. He had joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a teenager and understood the eternal ramifications of locating his progenitors. Although he was unable to find any information about his great-great-grandfather, Kwok Yuen developed an even deeper interest in his family history. He began to collect information about all his ancestors, asking family members to share their memories and records.
Upon learning about Kwok Yuen's interest, an elderly aunt presented him with a family history record going back twenty generations. The young man was thrilled. This was much more than he had ever expected. Although the story of his great-great-grandfather remained unconfirmed, the record contained important dates in his life and in the lives of hundreds more of his ancestors.
The gift created a dismaying problem for Kwok Yuen. He had been excited about family history. But now, with this gift, how could he possibly expect to find any additional information? Still, he refused to stop researching, feeling that there was more that he could do.
One day, while waiting for transportation, Kwok Yuen struck up a conversation with a man standing nearby. After exchanging pleasantries, the two discovered they shared the same family name. They immediately began discussing family histories. The stranger assured Kwok Yuen that his ancestors came from a different geographical area, but he agreed to share what family information he had.
When the two began comparing family records, they were amazed to discover a point where the names began to be the same. The records connected beautifully. Kwok Yuen was overjoyed to learn that now he could add an additional seventy generations to his pedigree charts. His family history now extended back some five hundred years before Christ!
When the Taiwan Temple opened for ordinance work, the first 150 names were from the Tai family. Their work is still being done today. Kwok Yuen, now serving as mission president in Hong Kong, is a living testimony that miracles can happen to those who do not say, "I can't find any more information on my family history."
Book with a Past
"Books with a Past" read the sign in front of the store in Concord, Massachusetts.
"Linda, let's go in and look for that encyclopedia we've been trying to find," I suggested to my ten-year-old daughter.
When the store clerk said they didn't have one, I decided to browse through the shelves. To my amazement, I found The Walcott Book, a family history book published in 1925. My grandmother had owned a book just like it. Over the years, she had stuffed notes and clippings into her copy and had cracked the binding. My Aunt Fran wouldn't let me take it out of her apartment, so I had carefully copied all the information I needed from it. We made sure the temple work had been done for all the names we had on our direct lines, and then filed the sheets away.
"Let's find Grammie's name," I suggested. But as we opened to the familiar page, my eyes fell not on my mother's name, but on her Aunt Sonia's. "Isn't it silly? They called her 'a lady of foreign birth.' Didn't they want to say she was Russian?"
I had loved my Aunt Sonia, the little I had seen of her. She was a jolly woman with a wonderful accent. Her gentle husband, Uncle Dana, was a linguist who had begun working as an estate manager after he had gone deaf. It was sad that they had never had any children, and I hadn't even arranged for their sealing in the temple. Was Uncle Dana all alone in the spirit world?
We bought the book and brought it home. Later that evening, as our son was flipping through it, an idea came to me. "I wonder who used to own this book?" I said suddenly.
My son turned to the front of the book. "Dana L. Walcott," he read. His words electrified me.
Was that Uncle Dana's signature? How had the book traveled across the country, twenty years after his death, to end up in a used-book store within five miles of my house? Was it just chance that I had walked into that store, or was the Spirit prompting me to do something?
I decided to write to Long Island, New York, for Aunt Sonia's and Uncle Dana's marriage record. Not only did I find Uncle Dana's signature, which was a perfect match with the one in the book, but I also discovered that Aunt Sonia had been divorced from her first husband in Istanbul. With the information from the marriage certificate, combined with the notes I had gathered from the book in Aunt Fran's apartment containing Sonia's birth date and place and her Russian parents' names, we had enough information to do the temple work for Aunt Sonia and Uncle Dana.
But to my surprise, events did not stop there. A year later Aunt Fran passed away. In her little apartment, surrounded by the chaos of estate appraisers and my eager relatives, I gathered every scrap of paper. On a tiny piece was a note that read, "Uncle Dana had a child who died at birth." It was an electric moment for me once more. I telephoned New York state; birth records were confidential in the 1920s, but we could get the death certificate. In a few weeks we had the information. A baby girl had been born to Aunt Sonia and Uncle Dana. The baby had had spina bifida and had lived for only twenty minutes.
A few months later, in the Washington Temple, I represented Aunt Sonia in the sealing of that unnamed baby to her parents. I felt an intense burning in my bosom unlike anything I had ever experienced; I couldn't contain my tears. Surely that is why The Walcott Book had traveled across the country.

Sweden Will Return Paracas Textiles to Peru
Friday, June 06, 2014
LIMA, PERU—Sweden will return the first four of 89 embroidered Paracas textiles to Peru later this month, according to a report in The New York Times. The 2,500-year-old textiles, which were smuggled out of Peru in the 1930s by the Swedish consul, have been displayed in the National Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg. Among the items the mayor of Gothenburg will hand over to Peru's vice minister of cultural patrimony is a woven mummy's cloak decorated with tiles of animals that may represent time periods or the seasons. The process of repatriation will be completed in 2021.

MORAGA, Calif. -- For the fourth time in as many tries, the Saint Mary's softball team had to settle for a split Saturday as the Gaels beat San Diego 2-0 in the first game and dropped a 4-2 decision in nine innings to finish the day.
Saint Mary's is now 12-21 overall and 4-4 in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference. San Diego is 17-18 overall and 2-6 in conference.
Single runs in the first and third innings put the Gaels in front and the pitching duo of Jessica Lemmon and Lujane Mussadi made the lead stand up.
Saint Mary's got started immediately, as Brittany Sabatini continued to heat up with a leadoff triple. Monika Reichhardt followed with a sacrifice fly, and Saint Mary's led 1-0.
The Gaels added another run in the third when Shannon Low's single to center brought Sarah Lira home from second base.
In the circle, Lemmon got the start and pitched brilliantly, tossing 5 2/3 innings of two-hit ball.
She departed with runners on the corners in the bottom of the sixth, and Mussadi was there to do the rest. The freshman right-hander induced a groundout to second, ending the threat.
San Diego loaded the bases in the seventh, but Mussadi again got the key ground ball, and a fielder's choice ended the game.
The Gaels jumped out to a 2-0 lead after an inning, only to see the Toreros tie it and eventually win on a home run in the top of the ninth inning.
Megan Smith supplied the early offense, crushing a home run to left-center field in the bottom of the first.
San Diego tied the score in the fifth inning, but left the potential go-ahead run on third when Mussadi struck out Lauren Tomey to end the frame.
Neither team would cross the plate again until the ninth. That's when Mary Grabowski, who hit a home run on Friday, left the park again with a two-run shot to left-center.
Saint Mary's went down in order in the bottom of the inning, giving the Toreros the split.
The Gaels hit the road next weekend for a four-game series at Loyola Marymount. Action starts Saturday at 10 a.m.

This European Respiratory Society task force has reviewed the evidence for paediatric medicines in respiratory disease occurring in adults and children. We describe off-licence use, research priorities and ongoing studies. Off-licence and off-label prescribing in children is widespread and potentially harmful. Research areas in asthma include novel formulations and regimens, and individualised prescribing. In cystic fibrosis, future studies will focus on screened infants and robust outcome measures are needed. Other areas include new enzyme and antibiotic formulations and the basic defect. Research into pneumonia should include evaluation of new antibacterials and regimens, rapid diagnostic tests and, in pleural infection, antibiotic penetration, fibrinolytics and surveillance. In uncommon conditions, such as primary ciliary dyskinesia, congenital pulmonary abnormalities or neuromuscular disorders, drugs indicated for other conditions (e.g. dornase alfa) are commonly used and trials are needed. In neuromuscular disorders, the beta-agonists may enhance muscle strength and are in need of evaluation. Studies of antibiotic prophylaxis, immunoglobulin and antifungal drugs are needed in immune deficiency. We hope that this summary of the evidence for respiratory medicines in children, highlighting gaps and research priorities, will be useful for the pharmaceutical industry, the paediatric committee of the European Medicines Agency, academic investigators and the lay public.

Why 'Big Bang Theory' is So Successful
According to my good friend Patty, who knows everything about everything, PaleyFest is a big media party that CBS throws out in L.A. every year. It's named after William Paley who was the co-founder of CBS. The cast of "The Big Bang Theory" was there this week. According to CBS:
Last week's 'Big Bang Theory' episode topped the list in viewers most coveted by advertisers, those ages 18-49; and it was the second most-watched show overall (behind "NCIS") with more than 20 million viewers.
So why is 'Big Bang' so successful? Here is what a couple of the cast members had to say at the recent PaleyFest gathering:
-Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz): "You're kind of forced to watch the show now. We're shoving it down people's throats, and then they're learning that they love that."
-Jim Parson (Sheldon Cooper): "There's something impossible to fathom about viewers and numbers and things like that. I can barely picture 20 people in one room. If you want to say 17 or 18 million, well you've lost me."
When asked what's coming up this season the "Big Bang" cast and crew would not reveal much about the upcoming season saying only that there would be a discovery of a letter from Howard's long-lost father. Quote Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) "They (Howard and his scientist wife Bernadette) find the letter, or someone finds the letter". No other cast members would talk about the future of any characters.
I just discovered "Big Bang Theory" 2 years ago and now it's one of my "Must DVR" shows every week. If I were asked: What do you think it is that makes 'Big Bang Theory' such a success?" I would say: "Good writing, great ensemble cast, and (like a lot of husbands around the country) it's the only thing my wife will watch on Thursday nights."
Are you a "Banger"?

Police identify Missouri officer who shot teen, information on alleged robbery
OHBU Columbus, OHAug. 19, 2014 1:16 p.m.
So by your logic, because Obama's (many) comments on Chicago (which dwarf those on Ferguson) don't get the media coverage, it's his fault? You say it's only about actions, but how have his actions indicated in any way he cares more about Ferguson than Chicago? All I've seen in your string of comments is empty accusations that you haven't backed up one whit.
Who is stirring the pot more, Obama for deigning to actually comment on a major issue, or people attempting to blame every single social issue on the man?
How about the Ranchers. Did you know (facts are fun)that Obama has doubled the number of border security agents under his administration? In other words, he saw the violence at the border and responded (remember, actions matter) by attempting to reinforce those taking on the violence.
Again, who's stirring the pot? Obama, for taking action to stop the violence, or those that accuse him of not caring by spreading deliberate falsehoods?
worf Mcallen, TXAug. 18, 2014 7:01 p.m.
Chicago doesn't get the press coverage Ferguson has. Neither the murders of south Texas ranchers by cartels.
The releasing of 36,000 convicted prisoners, and opening the southern borders, is adding to our country's crimes, and has little press coverage, or mention from Sharpton.
Sorry, but Obama, and Obama are just stirring the pot, and has you fooled.
It's not what they say, but what they do.
OHBU Columbus, OHAug. 18, 2014 3:01 p.m.
Not only did I already address why people get upset and people make an issue of things like police riots vs. inner-city violence, but you are also making patently false assumptions:
Al Sharpton has sponsored town hall meetings and made numerous statements about the violence in Chicago: "We cannot have a country where in one of its largest cities, people are saying we're used to seeing people die..."
Likewise, Obama's addressed it numerous times, including in the State of the Union: "This is not just a gun issue. It's also an issue of the kinds of communities that we're building, and for that we all share a responsibility as citizens to fix it."
As you may recall, and I know you've made fun of, Obama also spent time as a community organizer (refusing much higher-paying jobs for a Harvard lawyer) in Chicago specifically hoping to work on the racial tensions and violence there.
I understand it's a conservative truism that these leaders don't care about the violence in Chicago, but in truth, their actions and words show the contrary.
worf Mcallen, TXAug. 18, 2014 2:15 p.m.
Do you honestly believe Al Sharpton, Obama, and the others, really care about Michael Brown?
Why Michael Brown and not:
* the many killed in Chicago, and other cities in America?
* the ranchers on the southern borders killed by Mexican cartels.
Broaden your mind, look at the big picture, and do some homework. Michael Brown is a pawn, and some people are foolishly following like sheep.

I posted this on another thread:
"There are those that are saying 'peace,' but they really just mean 'quiet.' Because in order to establish peace you must have fair justice for everyone. We want real peace. We don't want to just be told to shut up and suffer in silence. We must have answers."
Rev. Al Sharpton, Ferguson, Mo.
August 14, 2014
Once again the Rev. Al Sharpton asserting himself into a situation where he knows absolutely none of the facts. All he knows is that a white cop shot a black 18 year old. For Al, that's more than enough to trump up bogus charges of institutional racism. He has a history of creating racial tensions based on lies.
This is the same Reverend Sharpton who helped Tawana Brawley trump up bogus charges that 6 white men raped her, some of whom she claimed were police officers. He also supported Crystal Gail Mangum in her bogus allegations that members of the Duke Lacrosse team raped her.
Hey Al, was it fair justice for the police officers and the Duke Lacrosse players you falsely accused?
Like these other cases, the real facts will are coming forth.
intervention slc, UTAug. 16, 2014 4:47 p.m.
So rather then address the comments above that already addressed this faulty reasoning you are going to repeat it?
My2Cents Taylorsville, UTAug. 16, 2014 4:04 a.m.
If the accounts of this artilce and police statement is true then the witness are all after the fact and seen nothing until it was all over. The two young men knew they had committed a felony assault and robbery and were behaving in the manner of thieves when they were confronted by other officers unaware of their felony robbery. Their behaviors to ignore and defy the officers with physical attacks to them upon arrest has justified the death of another thief who happens to be black and not white or mexican.
Apparently all accounts of the events being reported by the news media have been inaccurate and incited this riot and looting and pilfering. The actions of the news media would justify further investigation of their intentional misinformation. I think the news media should be targeted by insurance companies for causing the riot and all the losses to business and law enforcment. In this city the media was very disrespectful and not just writing a story but creating a story of lies and misinformation and they should be held accountable for their willful acts of terrorism.

Twenty eight blacks were shot by other blacks during this same weekend in Chicago.
Blacks are safer in Afghanistan then in Chicago.
Where are Obama, Sharpton, Holder, and Jesse Jackson on this?
Kronk Blackfoot, IDAug. 15, 2014 10:46 p.m.
I wonder why the most important sentence in the article was left till the last paragraph. "One of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon." That certainly casts the incident in a different light than just randomly shooting a man because he runs from the police. Shooting an unarmed man who is trying to take the officer's gun? That's not the same as shooting someone who runs away from a police officer. Rather than riot, we should wait to see what more details the investigation shows. Two wrongs don't make a right.

The media are like arsonists, they like to start fires, only they use it to sell their product.
We will never be able to get past racism in this country (from all sides) until the media gets past it. (along with race and ethnic organizations).

c/p "He stopped the wrong one, bottom line," yelled Tatinisha Wheeler, a nurse's aide at the news conference.
It's this type of knee-jerk reaction that started all the post-shooting violence in the first place. There has to be a point where people accept responsibility for their actions. Unfortunately, in this type of situation, it rarely happens. They will maintain their opinion despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
OHBU Columbus, OHAug. 15, 2014 5:29 p.m.
re: Kora
For the same reason there would not be a big interest in a story of two teenagers at school fighting each other, but it would be a big story if a teacher took a swing at a student. Police officers have a position of trust and authority, and it's the abuse of that power which gets people upset. People are protesting and raising awareness because they don't want the police to be able to do their own internal investigation, which over 99% of the time comes back with the officer being cleared of any wrongdoing.
Obviously, this is stirring up the same arguments as the Zimmerman trial. Guilt or innocence of Zimmerman aside, during the course of that, two white men were arrested for killing a black man. Did you hear about it? No--people didn't protest because the man was arrested and it felt like justice was being served. The protests weren't about the violence, but the lack of arrest. When two gang members fight and one is arrested, justice is being served.

Because acts of violence by criminals is not the same as a police related shooting. Criminals are just that were as police officers are entrusted with the publics safety, not hardly the same thing. Having said that i think they should have waited to release the officers name until the investigation is concluded and I think people need to wait for the investigations which have been started to conclude before condemning this officer

Why are there never protests in the community over gang violence or black on black crimes? Why do the "Leaders of the Black Community" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton not show up in response to those issues? Why is it they only care about situations that can stir up racial tension against whites?
People are always quick to attack when all of the facts are not known, but slow to apologize, if they apologize at all, if they are proven wrong. This was the case with the Duke Lacrosse team and numerous other situations. The young black men/women are always the victims and the white individual is always an evil, racist bigot. Even if it is a shooting involving a black police officer it is made to be racism.
Unfortunately many young black males are killed in the USA every year. The vast majority of the time it is the result of criminal activity on the part of the same or another young black male. Someone besides Bill Cosby needs to stand up to the community or it won't get solved. It should be our President, but it won't. He seems to enjoy racial politics.

The media needs to clean up their act. "An attorney for the teen who was with Brown" the teen with Brown was 22 years old. Brown at 18 would be considered an adult. After seeing pictures of him abusing the store clerk, he was a very big 18 year old.
Why sensationalize the story when you know it's going to fan the flames and spark more violence?

Michael Phelps has opted out of the 200m freestyle at the Olympic Games and will instead chase seven gold medals.
The American is expected to concentrate on two butterfly and two individual medley events as well as three relays.
Phelps is the most successful Olympian ever, having won a total of 14 golds, including eight in Beijing in 2008.
Phelps had seemed ready to compete in eight events after he won three at the US trials.
But although he won the 200m freestyle in Beijing four years ago, he has since been beaten over that distance in the last two World Championships.
He has won a total of 38 world and Olympic gold medals in his career but admitted he struggled for motivation after Beijing 2008.

Rezzy. I'm tuffalobuffalo on Steam and GFWL (ewwww).
Friend requests sent for both. I'm about to head to the movies with the GF, but I should be online later on tonight unless she gets a hankering for Minecraft.
I will be around all day and try to keep an eye on my PC if I'm not specifically playing anything on it. I'll try and play some today so that I can actually do the multiplayer part.
I've put a couple hours into the game now and have really enjoyed it except for the belching part. I decided to play as the female character since sexism seems to be the topic of the month, and I was curious how they handled it. I think the female character starts out pretty good, actually. The PC Graphics look great once I forced FXAA. I haven't had any issues with GFWL, fortunately. I love the relationship with the dog and how he/she finds stuff for you. I don't even like dogs in real life.
I have some concerns about how they end up handling relationships and sex, however. I'm expecting the worse. At any rate, it's been fun to revisit the world of Fable after however many years it has been since Fable 1.
This is one of my greatest gaming shames... I loved Fable II, and bought this brand new (came out to like $39.99 after Amazon discount of some sort). It sat on my pile for long enough that all of the bad reviews poured in. Unsurprisingly, it remains unplayed... IN SHRINK... on my shelf. Such a waste.
All those bad reviews that add up to an 8/10, eh?
I think you mistook overreactions here at GWJ for a poor critical reception. To be fair, that's a sizable step down (8%) from Fable II, but Fable III is just fine when judged on its own merits. There are a number of things it does better, but also some important stumbles.

Whatever the gaming "press" had to say about FIII didn't matter to me-- they rarely to never say much negative about an AAA title. People who I talked to, that had actually played both FII and FIII, had a near universally negative reaction. Glad you enjoyed it. Maybe I should go back to it, but with Skyrim in the tray and other, more interesting (to me) titles to choose from, I just have no desire to play it.
they rarely to never say much negative about an AAA title.
I could produce a list of games the length of my arm that says otherwise. It starts with Assassin's Creed, works its way down to Dragon Age 2, stops in with Madden 12, and ends with Bionic Commando.
I'm all for forming your own opinion rather than going by reviews, either anecdotal impressions from friends or from professional outlets. The cost of that being comfortable with the occasions when you spend full price on a game you end up not liking (hello, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and The Witcher 2).
You've already paid the price of admission, to assume that you won't like it based on others' opinions seems very close-minded, and as you say, wasteful.
But hey, I've got plenty of boxes littered around my entertainment center of stuff I should get to but don't. Rather than feel guilty about it, I eventually just sell them. I would recommend that, but you won't get much for it. Maybe stick it in the Toys for Tots bin come the holidays. Chances are those kids wouldn't have friends telling them to turn it down
People who I talked to, that had actually played both FII and FIII, had a near universally negative reaction.
There were plenty of us on the board who played and enjoyed both. At the very least, pop it out of the shrinkwrap and give it a shot. The worst that happens is you play a game for a couple hours and give up on it, but that's better than playing a game for zero hours and giving up on it.
I liked Fable 2 more, but I think Fable 3 is certainly in the same ballpark and a lot of fun.
Fable 2 was great. Fable 3 just made me feel like Molyneux was tired of the series.
Bit of a necro.
Since this went free for Xbox Live Gold members the other day I fired it up. Never played a Fable game before. After 3 hours it seems...alright. Combat is a little basic as are the "moral choices" but I like the world and the voice acting.
Glitchy, though. I loaded into the "Road to Rule" zone and spawned out in the middle of the white void with no way of returning save shutting off my xbox. After reloading my save I found myself still stuck in that horrible void. Luckily, I randomly fell off an invisible cliff, died, and respawned back on land.
Might try it a bit some more later in the week.
EDIT: I don't know why I expected this, but I was kind of surprised by the lack of any character customization at the beginning.
I loved Fable 2 (played through 2+ times), but didn't hear good things about 3 so never played it. But it's $5 on Steam sale right now. Anyone care to enable me on it?
It may not be quite as good as 2 was, but Fable 3 is still rather good. If you liked 2, you'll probably like 3.
I thought it was better than 2 in every way! Very much worth the price of admission.
Plus you can bet on chicken races!
Awesome. Thanks guys. Got me some more Fable action to enjoy!
Just remember, if somebody asks you to wear a chicken suit, you say YES.
I thought it was better than 2 in every way! Very much worth the price of admission.
I think the graphics are better. The story and humor are just as good. Otherwise it depends on what you want out of a game. I can only enjoy it by lowering my expectations and telling myself I'm not playing what I consider an rpg but a story adventure game. A sort of interactive novel so to speak. Things I enjoy in an rpg?
Character customization that affects stats.
Actually having some stats so I feel the decisions I'm making in what to wear and what weapons to use have an effect on game play.
Balanced fighting that has a bit of challenge.
Loot that matters.
The last time I played every single chest I opened contained either a health potion or a gemstone. The easy combat makes it possible for even someone like me who is usually bad at combat in games to fight through to the end with just a starting weapon and no risk of dieing. This reached a ludicrous point when I bothered to collect 15 silver keys to open a silver chest and got.......wait for it.........
a health potion
The loot (and therefor by extension the dog) seems to serve no practical purpose in the game. So you have this beautiful landscape but seemingly no reason to explore. My favorite fable game was the first one as you had lots of the same funny dialog and eccentric characters but could also do things like have stat affecting armor. It also had the boast system in quests. Such a fantastic idea I'm mystified it's never been used in any other game I've seen.
I admit I am a game snob in this area. I can see that there is a joy to be had in playing a simple game that lets you do everything. Hell I'm really enjoying saints row 2 right now. I'm just sad that personally Fable has become harder and harder for me to enjoy as each new game comes out.

Uyu abaya kwasara Gorowa Igesund fired The South African Football Association has announced that they will not be renewing the contract of Bafana Bafana head coach Gordon Igesund. The SAFA powers-that-be met this afternoon and announced that they have agreed to part ways with Igesund after two years in charge. That means the goalless draw against New Zealand in Auckland last Friday was the former Manning Rangers, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns coach's last game in charge of the national team. And despite all the rumours linking Carlos Queiroz with the job, SAFA president Danny Jordaan insists no decision has been made on a replacement yet. "The process for finding a new coach will start immediately after this press conference," Jordaan said, before adding: "Wait until we make the announcement and then you can tell us if we made the right choice." In a later press release, Jordaan is quoted as saying SAFA are "looking for a candidate who will take Bafana Bafana back to the glory days. He should be s ...

SAD NEWS: Supersp6rt Biltz:Former Kaizer Chiefs and Manning Rangers midfielder and Supersport analyst Isaac *Shake* kungwane has passed away after a short illness
083 Sportswith Robert Marawa wrote: After being in ICU for the past two days it's really sad to have to announce the sad passing away of a brother & colleague RIP Shakes Kungwane. Born Isaac "Shakes" Kungwane, he was amidfielder who played for Kaizer Chiefs, Jomo Cosmos, Pretoria City and Manning Rangers. During his spell at Kaizer Chiefs he wore the legendary number 11. Recently he was a popular commentator and presenter on SuperSport. Shakes was married to Precious in 1990. The two have three children
There's a particular football game that has remained beautifully etched on my mind. On that Saturday afternoon circa '96 Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs mauled Manning Rangers by 9 goals to 1. Shakes Kungwane was magical on that day. He caressed Miss Round, he stroked her gently, he made love to her. She ooohd and she aaahd! He did it so nonchalantly, so naturally. He was colossal on that day. That's my wonderful memory of Mshege. See, on my school-holiday sojourns to Alex, I used to see him as he'd come by and have a beer quart or two, (Ok, it was more than that). His footballing skills were legendary then but I just couldn't believe that this chubby guy downing Castle beer was being courted by Chiefs. He just didn't cut the cloth in my young and naïve mind. And then I saw him on TV strutting his magic... Farewell Shakes.
Mamelodi Sundowns...2013/2014 PSL Champions!!! Thnx 4 baby sittin our cup for 6 years!!! Now the records wil read... Mamelodi Sundowns with 6 championchips, Orlando Pirates 4, Supersport United & Kaizer Chiefs with 3, Santos & Manning Rangers with 1 each... Catch us if u can...fight for Nedbank instead!!!
good because he failed dismally with the Under 23, Manning Rangers, Platinum Stars, Free State Stars he's a loser.
I remember when South Africa beat Brasil in the Olympic Games a few years ago and I was listening to the Robert Marawa show on Metro. Instead of giving the team plaudits, listeners were complaining that the coach Shakes Mashaba was playing too many Coloured players. A few years later Carlos Queiroz was accused of the same thing. Some of these incidents are vital factors why people from other communities are not taking soccer seriously and why we have a lost generation of "non racial"players.Yes, we cannot field a multi racial team now because of that lost generation. The only way we can improve football in this country is to revive "non racial"football at grassroots level.After all didn't we win AFCON with a multi racial team..didn't Durban City, Cape Town Spurs, Manning Rangers and Santos win the leagues at the advent of "integrated" football !!??
Sundowns outplayed in Zambian warm-up clash Mamelodi Sundowns were beaten 3-2 by top Zambian club Power Dynamos in the first of their friendly matches on tour in the Copperbelt, where coach Pitso Mosimane has taken his side to toughen up for the re-start of the Premier Soccer League campaign. The Brazilians were caught out by a last minute winner for their hosts at the newly-built Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on the outskirts of Ndola after being level 2-2 at half-time. Sundowns were participating in a four team tournament also involving Zesco United and the Congolese club CS Don Bosco, who SuperSport United eliminated from the African Confederation Cup last year. Sundowns' two goals came from Wayne Arendse and Cuthbert Malajila. Kombe Chipeta, who is on trial at the Zambian club, scored the decisive goal for Dynamos were coached by Tenant Chilumba, who spent much of his career in South Africa at Free State Stars and Manning Rangers.

Mambas ready for Bafana showdown Bafana Bafana's opponents tonight Mozambique have declared their readiness for the 2014 African Nations Championship (Chan) opener at Cape Town Stadium. READ: Khune impressed by Bafana rookies Following an intensive two-month training camp, The Mambas feel they stand a fair chance of upsetting their fancied neighbours, who they have never beaten in all four previous meetings. "We have had almost two months of preparation playing Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe in friendly games so I feel we have prepared well," Mozambique assistant coach Helder 'Mano-Mano' Muianga, who has played and coached in South Africa, tells KickOff.com. "With the players that we have I feel we have a good team ready to compete against anyone including Bafana Bafana. We will definitely be playing to win." The former Manning Rangers, Black Leopards and Jomo Cosmos defender adds that they have no injuries in their camp with all their selected players ready to do duty.

Tico-Tico helps young Mozambique team Former Jomo Cosmos star Manuel 'Tico-Tico' Bucuane is working as an ambassador to the national team of Mozambique at Chan 2014 and says he is doing what he can to encourage the young Mambas squad. Mozambique face Bafana Bafana in Saturday's opening game of the 2014 African Nations Championship (Chan) and Tico-Tico is adding support to a technical team that sees Helder 'Mano-Mano' Muianga as the country's assistant coach. Mano-Mano was once an important player for Manning Rangers and, like Tico-Tico, enjoyed a successful career in South Africa. He also played for Black Leopards, Dynamos and Jomo Cosmos. "My role is to help our young squad at CHAN and encourage the players. We have some talented players in the group but it is a very young side," Tico-Tico said.

Komphela has bounced back quickly into management and was appointed on Monday as Maritzburg United's new coach. He is the third coach of the season for the struggling KwaZulu-Natal club, who saw Ernst Middendorp go to Bloemfontein Celtic in October and then fired Clinton Larsen after just eight games in charge. Komphela had been sacked by Free State Stars last month but is now in charge of his fifth different club. His coaching career, which included a stint in charge of the South Africa's under-23 side, has seen him work as head coach at Manning Rangers (two stints), Dynamos, Free State Stars (two stints) and Platinum Stars. The 46-year-old has signed a two- and-a-half year contract with The Team of Choice. He took his first full training session with the team on Monday.. Komphela's first task will be to try and restore confidence in a squad that has just a single win in their last 11 matches and currently sits one place above the relegation playoff position on goal-difference. Maritzburg have also ...
Steve Komphela is set be named the new Maritzburg United after Clinton Larsen was sacked by the Team of Choice. Larsen was only in charge for nine games since joining Maritzburg after resigning from Bloemfontein Celtic earlier this season, but could only manage one win in his time in charge, while losing six. Komphela was at Free State Stars for over three seasons before he was let go just over a month ago. It was his second stint at the Bethlehem club Our sources say that the former Bafana Bafana captain will return to Maritzburg for his second stint, having previously coached them in the 2006-2007 season. Komphela who has also coached at Platinum Stars, Manning Rangers and Dynamos, was caretaker coach of Bafana Bafana before Gordon Igesund took over, and was a front-runner for the head coach position at one time. He was also coach of the South African under 20 and under 23 teams.
Strange PSL facts: *Siyabonga Nomvethe is the only PSL player to win PSL Player of the Season award twice. *Swallows is the team that has produced the highest number of PSL top goalscorers but they have never won the PSL *In their 7 seasons in the PSL, Maritzburg United has never finished in the top 8. Infact their best position ever is 11 * Neil Tovey is the only former Bafana player to win the PSL as head coach *No player has ever won PSL top goalscorer twice. *2 former PSL winners have since been relegated. That is Santos (1st div) & Manning Rangers-the 1st ever PSL winners (defunct) *Mabhuti Khenyeza is in the top 4 highest PSL goalscorers of all time with 100 goals behind Tico Tico (104), Mambush & Bhele tied now via Nokia 3310

Training of 30 new SANParks armed field rangers completed 30 Nov 2012 07:27 South African National Parks (SANParks) has 30 new armed field rangers after a passing-out parade held on 23 November 2012 at the Weltrac Training Centre, situated in the Welgevonden Game Reserve near Thabazimbi in the Limpopo Province. The 30 graduates are part of SANParks environmental monitors from Kgalagadi, Mokala, Addo Elephant and Kruger National Parks. Antionet van Wyk, SANParks general manager for Infrastructure and Special Projects, said the main reason for training the field rangers is to complement the parks existing staff for area integrity management in various national parks. They will be a support to conservation staff and perform duties that will enable SANParks field rangers to attend to critical functions such as law enforcement. The keynote address was given by Johan Kruger, technical manager at Kgalagadi National Park. "We are very proud of our new graduates and their eagerness to build on their skills portfol ...

South African legend of the day goes to Isaac "SHAKES" Kungwane. Played as a midfielder for Jomo Cosmos, Kaizer Chiefs, Pretoria City, Santos, Manning Rangers, SA City Pillars. His career was sadly cut short due to injury. A great footballer with a bubbly personality, never a dull day when Shakes is around.

Stolen status. An emotional story of reclaiming Gloria My name is Kaizer Chiefs from Phefeni but currently staying in Naturena. I am 42 years old. I got married to my lovely wife Gloria in 1974 and we enjoy the best of 1976, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1984 together under National Professional Soccer League. Thereafter we broke apart for five years and remarried in 1989 under the National Soccer League. We had the b est of 1991, 1992 under NSL but we broke up again for a record 11 years between 1992 to 2003. What broke my heart was that in 1994, Gloria was married by my nemesis Orlando Pirates. 1994 was the most difficult year as Orlando Pirates with the undying support of Gloria later won the African Championship Cup for the first time in the history of Mzansi Diski and also the history of Southern Africa football. It is the highest accolade achieved by Southern African team and the Orlando Pirates record of 17 years achievement is still unbeaten. Gloria even fall in love with guys like Manning Rangers from Durban ...
Let's just say if Nickel's boots ebeyi football club,they'd be Manning Rangers :/
I wonder what is wrong with all Bafana Bafana coaches, especially Igesund. The man has successful history in local football, he won league with Manning Rangers for crying out loud, he took Moroka Swallows from drowning to top 2 in the last season. Now that he got the Bafana job, he wants a team with International experience. Has there been any European team that when it was about to play an African team, it wanted its players to have an 'African' experience. There is no way to beat Europeans while faking their original game play. He should use local players and play kasi football
When I started out in radio journalism, I never thought that I would read the line "Bafana Bafana coach, Gordon Igesund" in a current affairs show. 15 years later, a former Manning Rangers coach is leading the country's boys. It IS possible. Anything is possible, everything is . For this, we must have faith.
Bongani,Mungomeni,Dikgacoe and Nunes reminds me of Gordon Igesund`s Manning Rangers
Final score; Chiefs 9 - Amazulu 0. Fact. We did it before to Manning Rangers and Cape Town Spurs. Fact
Letter to All PSL Teams Dear Loosers Having been born before almost if not all of you, I have learned that nothing beat Sticking to your culture, tradition, working hard and remaining Humble hence i had been Sweet to most of you although some thought we are Friends for i remained nice to them but hey, Some games may be called Friendly games but there is nothing friendly in Soccer otherwise why do we count score?

Engen Santos is one of the many victims of my Hatered so i am warning you to play clean around me for i deserve respect from all of you as my Past is better than your Presents(CAF Champion's League Recognition), my Present is better than your future(Back to back Trebles) & i dont even ...
Bloemfontein Celtic, Platinum Stars and Mamelodi Sundowns join the race for Joel Mogorosi's signature. Punch Masenamela not willing to play alongside the man who brought his international career to an end, in talks with Manning Rangers.

How Does Cremation Work?
How does cremation work?
Expert Answers
When a body is cremated, it's heated intensely -- at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit or higher -- in a retort, or ovenlike device, until it's reduced to ash and bone fragments called "cremains."
Any pacemakers must be removed from the body first, since those devices can explode and damage the cremation chamber. And because the process is obviously irreversible and destroys DNA and other evidence, most state laws impose a waiting period of 24 to 48 hours from the time of death until cremation may begin.
The entire process takes from two to three hours, depending on the size of the body and type and temperature of the retort. The resulting cremains weigh from three to nine pounds -- again, depending on the size of the body.
Larger bone fragments within the cremains are usually pulverized before being gathered and returned to a designated person, usually a family member or close friend of the deceased. The cremains can then be placed in an urn or other container to be buried, stored, or scattered over land or water.
The process is conducted at a crematorium, which may be part of a chapel, funeral home, cemetery, or an independent facility. Laws in all states prohibit the operators there from cremating more than one body at a time. But as a precautionary check on this, most facilities will allow survivors to appoint a person to witness the cremation process. Some religions include this witnessing practice as one of their end-of-life customs.
