Been a while since the Yankees bullied the A's
The Yankees are at the Coliseum the next three games, and that can't help but stir up emotions. There was a time the Yankees dominated the A's, winning 11 straight – 10 straight with Bob Geren as manager. It's no longer like that. The A's have emerged as a legitimate challenge to the Yankees with […]

There's a few that think the same. One even called him and I quote an "unsong hero".
Am I the only one that thinks he could still be good? I don't have confidence in the coaching staff to evaluate its own talent.
When will the Bills find the heir to Losman?
There's a few that think the same. One even called him and I quote an "unsong hero".
3 years ago
"What matters is two years and three years down the road, if we have this thing turned around in the right direction and we're winning," Nix said. "I know before I'm asked this, you're going to think I'm crazy, but we're not that far away."
Russ and I scanned a list of possible candidates, Wilson said. We didnt know them. I didnt know them. I dont think Russ did. We narrowed it down to two candidates for the job of general manager of football, two in-house candidates.
Could he Yes I think he could. Will he not sure. He was Raw coming out and his first couple years in the NFL did not help with the INJ.
Obviously the Bills think there could be something there or he would not still be on the team.
Next year is essentially his third year. If he doesn't force his way into the reckoning, we can fairly suggest that he's not got enough to stick around.
Sign - Brandon Spikes - LB, Zach Strief - OT, Shaun Hill - QB, Corey Graham - CB.
1) Mike Evans - WR - Texas A&M
2) Austin Seferian-Jenkins - TE - Washington
3) Dakota Dozier - OG - Furman
4) Will Clarke - DE - West Virginia
5) Antonio Andrews - RB - Western Kentucky
6) Max Bullough - ILB - Michigan State
7) Jonathan Newsome - OLB - Ball State
UDFA: Keith Lewis - CB - Lynchburg (6' 1", 4.3 speed), Richie Leone - P - Houston, Kerry Hyder - DT - Texas Tech.
Remember when Graham made the wrong cut and Fitz threw the INT to lose the Pats game? It's a virtual certainty that Easley is worse running routes than Graham. Easley's biggest plays for the Bills have mostly been kickoff returns, which require speed and instinct, not knowledge.
"I am a river to my people"
VMA 331 2nd Marine Air Wing Cherry Point NC Retired.
Gailey said on wgr he is coming around as a receiver and we may see him some
I get what you are saying about route running and WR's, but Fitz does have eyes in his head right? That pass he threw to the wrong player was all on Fitz, a good QB has to be able to see what is happening right in front of him does he not? or is Fitz unable to throw to his receiver vs a spot on the field??
For whatever reason I think Easley can be a good player for the team and should be used more but hey thats likely just me....
"I am a river to my people"
VMA 331 2nd Marine Air Wing Cherry Point NC Retired.
Yes, I think he can be a good receiver just because he had one good kick off return...
Those two positions have no baring on each other whatsoever.
I remember Stevie Johnson was the same way here. A pS player who people clamoured for, and I thought he couldn't be that good
If Easley is the next Johnson, that would be great
If he was just good as a PR and KR, that would be ok too
i think the fact that ruvell martin sees more time at WR than brad smith or EAsley is sad and pathetic.
Brad smith might be the 2nd best WR on the team, but GAiley fhas to force the wildcat issue instead of playing him there.
so far easly has been a complete bust..hopefully he can turn his career around and become a starter but thas a long shot.
That also reminds me of when Gailey was being battered about not playing TJ Graham more, Bailey's response was Graham wasn't ready, as Gailey put it "you just don't run down the field", haha how foreboding was that, might have cost us a game.
Think people why Easley isn't out there, stop with this arrogant smug non-sense that the coaches can't evaluate talent, that you sitting at your computer can do it better, donwright laughable.
Behind him? You do not know the route TJ was SUPPOSED to run so how can you say he threw it behind him, you cant. Fitz threw it to a spot TJ was supposed to be at and he wasnt, end of story.
Blame a lot on Fitzpatrick but that pick was not his fault, it was either 1) TJ or 2) the coaches for putting a roookie (according to some sources said he never ran that play in practice) TJ in that position.
Definitely a better option that Ruvell Martin
Da'Rick got cut and was given less chances than Chris Hogan....No comment.
Hopefully the Bills can carry my casket at my funeral so they can let me down one last time.

The Staples Information Thread: If you have any questions, please check this thread first as it answers many common questions.
The Staples App Thread: For info on app coupons (5 off 25, 10 off 50, etc.) and how to obtain app coupons, go here. Ink/toner Recycling Primer/FAQ: Information relevant to ink recycling and rewards at Staples and elsewhere. Sebsa: "This coupon stacking art form is becoming less like the Mona Lisa and more like a Picasso." |
well gotta give props for making the coupons more creative, but miss 50% off coupons
Staples really screwed up their app big time. I tried signing into my Rewards account to see if that might help me generate a q, but all it did was crash the app. Then I couldn't even load the app again until I cleared the app data. App is completely useless to me now. At least when I wasn't generating coupons I would still log on while I was at the store and pull Rewards #, certificates, weekly ad, etc. I can't even do that anymore. They are going to have a lot of ticked off "regular" app users.
Worst part is I don't see the older version backed up in my Titanium. Going to see if it's in the Titanium folder I saved on my pc, or at least see if I can pull an apk out of the backups on one of my other devices.... |
I tried to use the free pens coupon today since I was buying my ink for the double deal anyway. They didn't have any in of the pens in stock so they offered to order them and have them sent to my house. I asked if it would still be free due to the coupon and the A-Manager said it would still be free. While ringing up, the manager that doesn't like my coupons came over, and of course the coupon wouldn't take it off. Then the A-manager decides that nothing can be done, I just can't use the coupon. I said that it isn't my fault that they don't have it in stock, and suggest an over-ride or product substitution. He says there is nothing he can do. I then mentioned that I would have to call about the App, and that the coupons are so specific and short that I can't use them, and all of a sudden he decides that he can just take $4 off my total.
In the end, I didn't even use the coupon but the pens are supposed to be delivered to my house. What a hassle this new app has become. I can't generate coupons consistently, it crashes frequently, and I couldn't even get it to open in the store to use the coupon I already had. |
The farking app is crashing. Does not work on my tablets.
Did someone figure out how to reset Bluestacks after 2 days? Last edited by ToadKilla; 02-19-2013 at 06:13 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
My stupid TouchPad now won't charge so I cannot test the new app on that. Need to get a new HP cable. Substitute USB/micro USB cable will not work nor will the original. Charger is fine and yes it is twisted into proper position. Yes, I pressed the power and home button for over 15 seconds. Nada. Battery has a low enough charge it won't turn on. What a piece of crap. My iPad I gives me none of these problems even 2 1/2 years later. |
So those that got the next coupons in the new app did you have to wait exactly 24 hours later before you check in again to get next coupon in sequence?
So I just got my first q tonight with the new app version at 7:35pm....do I have to wait until 7:36 tomorrow night to get next q? I know it was like this with old version of the app. Also since my app updated to new version I did not have to do any reset of phone or anything on my Galaxy S3 to start getting the new coupon (free pens) tonight. I wanted to also add that the new app is working fine for me on my phone with no crashes, logged into my rewards and staples account, got the check in coupon after check in, etc. Last edited by mrtrance; 02-19-2013 at 07:46 PM.. |

Two bakers, one perfect bakery
by Katey Baddeley 11 July 2012
The warming antidote to Canberra's most unwelcome inhabitant Jack Frost lies rather ironically in the glowing embers of our nation's capital – the Parliamentary Triangle.
Pork Barrel Café, nestled comfortably in the Rose Garden surrounds of Barton, was a Monday morning saviour. Still in an annual state of seasonal denial, yours truly made a characteristically foolish wardrobe decision of 'dress with light jacket and scarf' instead of the more contextually appropriate 'snow suit with balaclava.' It was a bitter four below zero when I ambushed my way through the welcoming embrace of Pork Barrel's barely open door, but seeing countertops swathed with freshly baked loaves of artisan sourdough pulled straight from the oven completely negated the freezing conditions lurking outside.
Oodles of natural light stream through and illuminate the quaint octagonal structure, with compounding panels of glass offering an un-obstructed view to the Rose Gardens of Old Parliament House. Furnishings are antiquated and homely, worn to a loved state of comfort through dedicated service and intellectual design.
The comforting aromas of fresh baked goods wafting from the kitchen was intoxicating, as was the background resonance of coffee beans clattering, grinding and ultimately streaming pools of liquid gold over a squealing foam of steamed milk. All traces of wintery blues completely ebbed away.
The aesthetically exciting displays of loaves shaped to every conceivable floury form are reminiscent of high renaissance European still life – reflective of the international masterminds behind the baking. As Pork Barrel produces both sweet baked treats and savoury sourdough creations – it makes sense to have two experts in the kitchen.
The sourdough genius is Francisco Crespo Sotelo (otherwise known as Paco), a third generation baker from Galicia in Spain, up at 2am each day to create his culinary art forms for the citizens of Canberra to enjoy.
Christian Bauer is the second baker, a Master Patissier from Germany with 25 years and 7 countries worth of experience under his belt. A quick chat with Christian between pulling breads from the oven revealed his passion for the craft. He received his Master baker accreditation in Germany 11 years ago, and has since worked in Switzerland, South Korea, Indonesia, Slovakia and at the prestigious Atlantis hotel in Dubai (if you don't know it, Google it) before finally making his way to Canberra.
Both bakers use artisan, old fashioned techniques and all ingredients are local – right down to the dark rye flour. The basic breads are produced consistently year round and, special seasonal treats such as stolen and Elisen Cookies are among many to appear through-out various times of the year (I know where I'll be doing my Christmas shopping).
You know that irritating person standing in-front of the glass display at the bakery, umming and arring over pastries for hours on end? That's me. I am a bakery addict. Needless to say I did my usual display case dance, jumping from one side to the other, eyes glinting with delight at the snowy crystallised peaks of cinnamon scrolls, gleaming golden domes of buttery chocolate brioche and delicate cracked mounds of cardamom spiced Elisen cookie. The breads making their way out of the oven as I was about to leave were absolutely divine (I stayed a little longer to gawk). Huge loaves of crescent shaped sourdough were studded with the gleaming hot jewels of glace fruits, whilst the elliptical rounds of the nut and seed bread were darkly enticing. A particularly pretty ball shaped loaf contained slices of fiery Spanish chorizo. Rustic logs of traditional sourdough were piled all along the countertop, their exteriors crusted with ochre tinged dustings of oven singed flour.
If you eat bread, make your way to Pork Barrel in Barton tomorrow and get your hands on some pure artisan baking. If you don't eat bread, I implore you to start. If I can run the length of King George terrace on a Monday morning through a four below zero induced frost in a dress - then you have no excuse for not getting down there. Oh, did I mention they have gluten free options as well? Absolutely no excuse now.

"Continues the productivity Note line."
4.5 starson by PatanjaliSPros: All the features that make the Note 2 so useful and smooth, but with more space in which to use them.
While the Note 2 allows scribbling some little diagrams, the Note 8 allows them to be larger and more sophisticated.Cons: Not AMOLED display, though it may not make that much difference in the end.
Summary: Another likely success story.
Now to correct the reality distortion that this blog fosters:
1) Apple did NOT create the mid-size tablet market. Mid-size tablets from Amazon and Google dragged Apple into facing the reality of the convenience of the size, despite some ideological objections put out by Jobs.
2) The Note 8 was NOT designed as a competitor to the iPad mini. The Note 8 was obviously already on the drawing board before the iPad mini was announced.
3) The Note 8 is NOT a direct competitor to the iPad mini. It has a lot of features designed for productivity that the mini cannot match. It will probably be more expensive than the mini, but its feature set will justify that higher price for those who want them, and the success of the two previous Notes indicates that millions of people do!
4) App store size does not mean much if the device comes with the most useful productivity apps designed specifically for it. The type of people for whom the Notes are designed are those who would tend to have fewer apps, but use them to a deeper level.

Sci-MX 17-T Somatocri-MX is really a few products into one great natural male hormone support supplement. First of all Sci-MX 17 T is formulated to increase both growth hormone AND testosterone; these two hormones really have a huge effect on muscle growth, leanness and recovery. Quite simply the more your body is naturally producing the better.
This is another area where Sci-MX 17-T Somatocri really stands out - you only take a dose when it is most effective; just before you go to bed. The third product contained in 17-T alongside a testosterone booster and growth hormone booster is ZMA. This stands for Zinc and Magnesium Aspartate - zinc and magnesium in this dose has been scientifically proven to boost recovery especially during sleep. You will find that due to the very deep sleep this gives you that you may end up having some very vivid dreams!
Finally Sci-MX have also included Bioperine which boosts the absorption of all of the ingredients within the supplement. Sci-MX 17-T has been popular at Echo Supplements since the very beginning - combine it with Sci-MX Lean Grow MRF for lean, sustained muscle gains!

"I'm usually bit sceptical of claims made by products but decided to give these a go and must say I'm impressed. Not a massive transformation but definitely aiding mass gain. 3 weeks into with no change to diet and 6 pounds of good gains. Will use again for sure and also impressed with echo service. Well done and thanks."
"Its B******t"
"Was kind of expecting to have wasted £45 (and it is expensive!) but I was wrong - you can feel this somatocri working from within 2-3 days and strength goes up by the end of the week. Really good!"
"strength is much much higher since using 17t. i do powerlifting and 17t is drug free too so safe to use all year round"
"Ive been using this with anabolic muscle fuel and gained alot of lean muscle and great size.Honestly it does work with a proper training programme."
"I've increased in size and muscle mass after taking this so impressed with results"
"It spiced up my sex life ;)"
"Not sure if I beleive the hype behind somatocri 17-T but I've used it for 3 weeks now and am horny all the time and really 'up' for every workout so maybe it does work."
"Awesome natural test and GH booster - easy to take (3 caps with dinner, 3 before bed) and really works.
I've found I am adding lean muscle with ease and all my mates now want some!"

St. Pete Beach house description
Our three story contemporary beach house sits in a neighborhood surrounded by historic cottages in the Pass a Grille section of St Pete Beach, Florida.

The master suite is enormous with an open floor plan, seating areas, home theater and a private bath with a jacuzzi for two.
Spend the day on a party fishing boat in the Gulf or fish from the nearby Merry Pier, just a block away. Catch a favorite Florida species, snook, snapper or grouper...bring your rod, hat and sunglasses.
Have a romantic dinner nearby, at one of the historic Don Cesar Hotel restaurants. Hunt for shells, watch turtle eggs hatch and swim in warm gulf water so clear you can count your toes. Enjoy the sunrise from your bedroom balcony and sunsets from the living room or master suite decks.
Stroll along the powdery soft white sand beach. Ring the sunset bell at the Paradise Grille and leave your name in the guest log of our charming little fishing village.
Our observation deck rises high above the surroundings with extraordinary views of the Gulf of Mexico and Boca Ciega Bay.

Perfect beach home!
Perfect beach home!
- Guest Lucky (Ohio)
- Date of stay 11/25/13

What a wonderful beach home for our multigenerational family vacation! The home had everything for everyone. For the grandchildren (ages 3-10) there were beach toys, ping pong or pool, scooters, the Wii. For the adults there were bicycles, nearby fishing and the hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Having the beach just across the street made it easy for us to enjoy. We so appreciated having beach chairs, boogy boards, beach towels, and toys for the kids. The outdoor shower was very useful after an afternoon at the beach. Of course watching the setting sun either from the beach or the balconies was just beautiful. All of our needs were met with such a clean and well maintained home with very comfortable furniture, beds and a well stocked kitchen. The upstairs master suite was just fabulous and our retreat in the evening. The home is nearby to shopping, restaurants, cafe coffee for the morning, fishing and walks on the beach. We only went out to dinner once, and would also recommend the Black Palm. But for us, what made this vacation so very special was that we were able to bring the great grandmother(90+, who lives in St. Pete) over to the home each day to spend time with her great grandchildren. By having the elevator in the home she was able to join us and have the opportunity to watch the children at the beach as well. Thank you for such a great vacation beach home. It truly is unique and equipped to meet any age vacationer! We hope to come back to Casa Marisol again!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

This house is owned by an interior designer who has flawlessly decorated this home. The views are outstanding and honestly you don't even want to leave the balcony to make your way across the small street to the other side. However you would be foolish not to as the beach is absolutely spectacular! The property manager was very accommodating, easy check-in and check-out, overall a very smooth process. Close to restaurants and small shops. Lovely holiday!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Casa Marisol was our very favorite vacation spot ever. It combined a most relaxing décor with amazing views. We did not want for anything. The bedrooms were beautiful and the kitchen was great to work in. The kids and the adults all had a wonderful time. Management was a pleasure to work with.

My wife and I, along with another couple rented this property for a week. This property is fabulous. While we have never stayed in Pass-A-Grille or the St. Pete Beach area before, I'm confident that this property is one of the best in the area, if not the best. The house itself exceeded our expectations. The owners did not miss one detail, from the design to the interior decoration to the technology built into the house to all the amentities that came along with the house we could not have asked for more. And that isn't counting the fact that this property is in prime location with amazing views of both the gulf and the bay, as well as walking distance to the Historic 8th Ave business district. All of us agreed that we would stay here time and time again. Not only was this property top notch, but the owners went out of their way to make us feel as if this was truly our home for the week. There were beach chairs, linens, beach towels, beach toys, bicycles, and many more things included. If one is trying to determine whether to stay at a hotel in the area or rent another house in the area at a similar price point, do not pass up the chance at Casa Marisol. You will not regret it.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, people with disabilities, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

I was tempted to give this house 1 star so it would be available next time we want to rent it. Once word is out, this house will never be available. We have rented many homes on VRBO and this was by far the nicest. This house is full of high end features and amenities in the heart of Pass-A-Grille. Our family of six stayed a week and loved every minute. Easy reservations, easy check in, and not one single issue. The beach is across the street, fishing docks and boats 3 blocks away, and many shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. Cannot say enough good things about this home. Rent it now!!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

This house lives up to all the details in the listing description. The property was clean and very well decorated. It was like staying in a five star hotel. Eight of us stayed in the 3 story house. My husband and I enjoyed the 3rd floor. We celebrated our anniversary during the vacation. This floor was private with huge bedroom and sitting area. The bathroom and walk in closet was fabulous for a girl with lots of clothes. My in-laws and sister-in-laws family stayed on the 2nd floor. We all enjoyed the great views of the beach on the balconies. This house was great from top to bottom. My nieces enjoyed being steps from the beach. The elevator made bringing luggage up stairs easier and my mother-in-law loved this. The area was so great. We just walked to restaurants and stores. This house is made for families.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

This house is absolutely fabulous. At least once a day during our stay, I would look at my husband and say, "I love this house." Everything about it is gorgeous, and it worked so well for our family with 4 young children. The access to the beach, just across the street, can't be beat - it made it so easy to go back and forth when we needed to! And the area of Pass-a-Grille is great, too - we walked to several different restaurants and, of course, Paradise Sweets!! The upstairs master suite is unbelievable. My husband had to do a lot of work after the kids went to bed during our stay, and the upper living area provided the perfect space for him. The bedrooms downstairs were perfect for our kids, and they loved eating at the breakfast bar or outside on one of the gorgeous decks. During down time from the beach, they really enjoyed playing ping pong and riding scooters in the garage area, and they also had fun in the hot tub during an evening rain shower! The beach chairs and umbrellas came in so handy, and the outdoor shower made cleaning up from the beach easy. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We have rented several beach houses in different parts of the country, and this one was our favorite by far!! We hope to return sometime!Manager response: I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our home. It was built and designed with love for our four children, and I am thrilled that your family of four had as much fun as we do in Pass-a-Grille. Come back soon!

Our week at Casa Marisol was amazing. The house is incredible. Casa Marisol is the cleanest and most comfortable beach house we have ever stayed in. The pictures don't do the house justice. It is larger then it looks in the pictures. The 3rd story master suite was amazing. All the beds are very comfortable The location to the beach is great. We loved that we could watch the kids play in the gulf from the second story deck. It was nice to have access to beach toys and beach chairs that come with the home. The kids loved using the boogey boards and fish nets while playing in the water. Watching the sunset from the roof deck was great. We also enjoyed to proximity to the shops of Pass-a-Grill. The kids walked down to the ice cream shop daily, sometimes more then once a day. The restaurants near the house are also wonderful. We will definitely be back to Casa Marisol.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Manager response: I am so glad that you enjoyed staying at our home in Pass-a-Grille. Our family (4 kids) have spent some wonderful days there and it especially makes us happy when children enjoy the house. I hope you come back often!

We loved our week at Marisol. Our family has rented several beachfront houses via VRBO but none has been as been as nice as this. The furnishings are MUCH nicer than we have seen in similarly priced houses. The decsk offer offer wonderful views and the furniture is very comfortable. The house had everything you could ever want and it all worked. It is right on the beach and 1 block from most of the good the restaurants. I recommend the Black Palm. Great house and a real bargain considering what you get. Most Highly Recommended!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children.

This house is the best house that you can rent in Pass-A-Grille, perhaps even all of St Pete Beach. When we biked up and down the beachfront, we did not see a house like it. As we sat on the first floor deck facing the gulf, passerbys would remark, "I love your house!". Others would give stares of admiration. The inside is even more impressive than the outside. Everything is thought through, guaranteeing you the most comfortable luxurious stay you can find in Florida. It even rivals and may perhaps be better than a boutique hotel in St. Barths, since the house is completely yours and you don't have to take a puddle jumper to get here. The house is completely stocked from kitchen tools to plush beach towels. A closet downstairs is filled with boogie boards, beach toys, fishing rods, and travel beach chairs. The outdoor hot tub is immaculately clean and easy to use. The outdoor shower is useful. The top deck perched on the roof of the house is an amazing spot to practice sunrise/sunset yoga. Everything you could possibly need for the perfect beach vacation is in this house. The house is tastefully decorated with original artwork, gorgeous sea conches and sea fans, heavy well built furniture, and thick plush floor coverings. Nothing is tacky in this house. The native plants and landscaping that adorn the decks and grounds finish the look of the house and adds to its wow factor. This house is so well planned, that you will sit there thinking, how do they do that? We visited with another family. They have two toddlers, we have one (1-3 years old). The kids loved the house, the elevator, shoveling in the beach, pouring water from pail to pail on the bottom deck, climbing trees and rolling in the grass at the adjacent park, then swimming in the hot tub after dinner. In the mornings, we walked down the beach to watch the fishermen cast nets into the gulf and bring up bags of fish. We did not have to leave the town. The master suite is where our family stayed and it felt like a separate house. The walls and floors must be thick, because once the doors are closed, you cannot hear a thing below. As for eating, we cooked almost all our meals, but found a cute vegan cafe and homemade ice cream shop one block away for something different and yummy! Anyhow, we are back in NYC, dreaming of the day we can return. Additional note: Management mailed back items left behind the very next morning. Efficient and kind of them!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, people with disabilities, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Definitely! Especially if they use a little maple leaf as a "dot" in the domain name, like maps[maple]ca :) Canadians are quite submissive to this type of advertising. Remember the "i am canadian" ads?
I personally use .ca domains all the time for Canadian sites. If there is any hint of "internationality" of the business/service, then I get a .com. If it's a local mon'n'pop store, then def a .ca

Well, the game is fun, it feels like XCOM, it has the same things we have longed for (and by we I take the very pompus attitude to include allt he die-hard fans of UFO and Terror from the Deep - a bit cynicle) in the eans that it is a turn based squad tactic game with some strategy and base building against aliens trying to take over the workd and you have to shot 'em down, scramble troops to search the wreckage. Troops also have to respond to other various threats, abduction, terrorising etc.
So far so good - the graphics is ok, the action camera with small cutscenes that now makes it a more interactive story part is mostly OK. I say mostly because the scenes on teh base is good and carries the story and strenghtens the different characters running around the base a bit. In the tacticle squad scenarios - it is the biggest give away and annoyance ever.
I will tell you a few things why - there is no blind fire - you have to run into enemies to find them and when you find them - cutscene and they dispears and are no longer clustered up for a grenade or RPG etc that you could have wished for tacticly sneaking up on them. Also, when you see the short scene of someone shooting a weapon - it is a critical hit and most often someone dies.
Even more disturbing to me is the camera. I can't for the world understand how they decided to botch it up as they have. The camera is set in 4 angles. You can zoom in and out - but the camera has a preference to zoom in stupidly close to any character all the time automaticly, or as soon as you chose an ability or toggles to a new character - it is not merely centering - it is centering and zooming. Also, the camera is tilting automatcly. You can't chose the tilt, it jumps up and down and scrobbles along with the 3D landscape as you move the camera or try to position your character on a ledge two stories up. The level of height is also botched. It is hard to see which level your on and if you place a character and can't see the place they land, you can have your character taking aplunge down into the fray instead of positioning themselves with a height advantage.
So, the camera and placing is pure crap.
Another thing is that information is hidden. I mean come on? A tacticle game with strategy and all the numbers are hidden? I wan't to see damage potential and range. But nope - sorry.
Too easy, too quick too shallow.
That is the combat, when removing an open inventory, ammunition etc - you have removed the option to pick something up on the battlegrounds. A fallen medic is dire since you can't pick up the medics first aid kit.
Somewhere I read that someone thought that XCOM was a game that was boring and sluggish. I have to say that it isn't sluggish enough, it isn't grognard enough etc. The parts that are missing from the original games have been replaced by flare - and once you played the game once and seen all the flare - the great cutscenes and animations will become tedious and boring, leaving you with a game that lacks the depth.
So, it is fun, it is a turnbased game even though it is more or less only move either a move - shoot next turn.
the aliens are always in the lead since they always know you are there and that no mather what you do (haven't had enough founds to build me a ghost armour yet) even slowly advancing - they still get to jump into positions that are favourable. It feels like they had trouble to recreate the tense and sometimes frantic silence from teh original series where only the centering of the camera told you that there was somethig out there in the fog of war.
Another thing with this game, it made the old CTD problem apparent. It been a while since a game CTD:ed that much as XCOM and it makes me hope that patches will come, but more than that - I wish for it with all the praise it gets - that it will open up for mods so taht the camera can be made better, that the tactics can get better and so many of the small things simply will get better.
As it stands now, it is simplified, it is dumbed down and it feels and look as the multiplatform game it is. The extra work with making the game use keyboard and mouse with a special team seems to have gone out the door. I can't say that I'm impressed with their work - one bit. It does what it should - but nothing more and sometimes really poorly. The view of the baseis skitterish with a camera that isnb't precise but just as jumpy and finicking as the camera in the tactical map. It is hard to see what you should click and not. Usually the small shortcuts do a better job and that rasies the questio: why the big ass overview in cut through if it doesn't add anything?
The rest of the game has some troubles with the 1 out of three to help issues - you will always fail and have to cow-toe your way through the politics and hope to fullfill the sometimes underpaud and really strange requests from countries in order to get more people or resources or simply cash...
One would think that to stop the devestation of the earth - countries would feel a bit more obliged to cash in some more money...
Sum up: good but not enough. It is an XCOM game - but a bleak and watered down version of what used to be. It's the console era of strategy and tactics - not the desktop general or desktop squad leaders version.

Betaieb, M. and Jones, K. (1992) Nitrogen-fixing heterotrophic bacteria and presumptive coliforms in sewage treatment plants and irrigation reservoirs in Libya. Letters in Applied Microbiology, 15 (1). pp. 32-33.
Full text not available from this repository.Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1472-765X.1992.tb00717...
Monitoring of heterotrophic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and presumptive coliforms in two Libyan sewage treatment plants showed that tertiary treatment of effluents by chlorination killed these bacteria. However, the irrigation reservoirs which received the treated effluent contained large numbers of both types of bacteria. As the proportion of nitrogen-fixers to presumptive coliforms was much less in the sewage than in the irrigation reservoirs it is probable that the irrigation water became contaminated by a source other than sewage.

The shame is that he will not see any jail time over this and will just go get another dog and start the abuse all over again! The justice system doesn't really protect these pets. Look back at the case of the man in State Park who got caught by some kids having sex with his German shepherd at a car wash. The case has been dismissed and he got his dogs back. He now lives in Stone Bridge Estates in Columbia il and has 6 dogs and a horse. His name is Michael Brown! Yes I have seen him with the dogs on several occasions! POS if you ask me!

That's awful ... poor dog.
That poor dog. It makes me cry. Chaining a living creature to fend the elements is certainly cruel and inhumane. I agree the owner should be held accountable. It is very disturbing how some people treat animals. It says a lot about their character, or lack thereof. It makes me sad to see unwanted pets or careless pet owners and many pets end up roaming the neighborhoods and fending for themselves. I see this often with stray cats. They feel the cold, and loneliness, suffer disease and hunger just as any living breathing animal and human does. Man has domesticated these animals and it's not like you can throw them out into the wild and expect that they will survive like other wild creatures.
""Trust no one"" Since: Jul 13 2,387 Drive it, like you stole it |
You know what the truly horrible thing is when you think about it is. Dogs are fully capable of living their entire lives outdoors when provided with very minimal shelter. I'm not saying leaving it outside it's whole life is good but a dog is able to survive and even thrive this way. The amount of neglect it took for this dog to die like this is astronomical. |
I agree. Under the right conditions, that is. That dog was undoubtedly ignored and probably malnourished as well. That poor dog was all alone for probably much of its unfortunate life. Probably very little contact except for its fenced-in tomb. I know of a few neighbors who keep large dogs outside all year round, but they play, walk and provide some companionship. I personally don't think I could keep a dog penned up outside all of the time, but that's just me. That's why I don't have any dog because I don't like walking in my neighborhood or able to care for a dog the way I think it should be cared for. A cat would be easier for me and I would definitely keep it indoors should I ever get one. We have a few rooms to remodel and refurnish and then I plan to adopt a kitty - probably 2 so they can keep each other company. |

Judged: 1 Well you prove to be a responsible person, as the saying goes, If you feel you cannot manage a dog don't have one. I was so deeply upset having read the above article, I cannot understand such people, they are devoid of all feeling... Folks I'd be afraid to be around. I also honestly feel too that ..the authorities > teachers in school etc don't give enough time to teaching children from the start.. the importance of treating animals decently. At least the poor little precious creature in this case Is gone from it's misery now. |

Judged: 1 1 Don't be part of the problem, spay and neuter your pets. If pets were harder to come by stories like would be less likely to happen. |
Judged: 1 1 I agree Grace. I remember when I was in school, there were so many important things that should have been taught besides math, English, history, etc. They should have been teaching kids how to survive and live in the real world. Children should absolutely be taught to treat animals with respect and compassion and that should probably be part of a curriculum too. What a child learns early on about caring for animals, may also determine how well a child will treat other human beings as he/she matures. It's a fact that many serial killers started out by first abusing and torturing animals. |

If I had my way I'd joyfully jail that guy.. he has something seriously missing in his makeup.. to have the ability to sit in comfort inside a warm room, KNOWING what he was doing to a helpless creature in his care.. is ALIEN to so many of us. ALL humans aren't like this, my dog, for example.. has the life of Riley, EVERY comfort, allowed stay in the best room at night for warmth ALTHO' she insists on chewing the cushions! lol but, I can buy new cushions which have no feelings, like a little creature has, is how I see it.. She gets treats and toys, top brand foods, Vetinary.. and most of all LOVE.. Many other Offbeat members .. I know.. are the same... about their animals. |
