Booksellers' first reactions…
"As with Little Bee, Chris Cleave has written a novel that encompasses love, compassion, and tragedy through which emerges the goodness of mankind and the importance of friendship. One reads the pages of Gold like they were racing Kate and Zoe on the track of the velodrome—fast, unstopping, breathing hard until the next page where you have to hold your breath to see who wins the heat….Emotionally stunning, brilliantly written…You will hold on for the ride."
—Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT
"I do not how Chris does it—he makes you feel every little nuance and detail…You feel as if you have known [the characters] all your life… I loved this book and cannot wait to pass it around to all of my colleagues at work. Gold medal to Chris Cleave for writing an amazing book!"
—Toni Ness, Barnes & Noble, Grand Rapids, MI
"Gold is about parenthood, relationships, priorities, and the sacrifices that are made for love, or fear. It's about celebrity and intimacy, the trials of competition on your head and heart, and about figuring out who you are and remaining true to that….Gold runs through a gauntlet of emotions that will not leave that reader untouched. More simply, this is a marvelous and enveloping read."
—Jackie Belm, Tattered Cover, Denver, CO
"Chris Cleave has scored another 'gold' with his latest novel….Like Little Bee and Incendiary, it is impossible to describe; rather, it is one of those rare books you can't wait to put into the hands of the reader and say, 'Trust me on this one.'"
—Beth Black, The Bookworm, Omaha, NE
"Chris Cleave is a wonderful storyteller and Gold is as compelling a read as Little Bee….You will love these characters who are struggling to understand what is the right choice to make….I became so engaged with both Zoe and Kate that I didn't know what to hope for."
—Jeanne Costello, Maria's Bookshop, Durango, CO
"I truly loved and enjoyed Gold! Chris Cleave has written another terrific story that will not disappoint his Little Bee fans and will only broaden his fan base. And how could you not love Sophie?"
—Susan Barthold, Barnes & Noble #2782, Willow Grove, PA
"Chris Cleave is already one of the luminaries of modern fiction and his talent shines just as brightly as the title in Gold. In a novel centered on the world of competitive cycling, he gives all of the work and trauma of that elite society but, more importantly, shows us the same work and trauma involved in the ordinary lives of his characters, particularly eight-year-old Sophie, who suffers from leukemia and demonstrates the same determination and courage of the world class riders. This is a novel that inspires, informs, provides sadness and exhilaration and shows empathy for the human condition that is rare. It is a reading experience not to be missed."
—Bill Cusumano, Nicola's Books, Ann Arbor, MI
"Gold vibrates and rattles the psyche—and made me gasp, smile and cheer. Chris Cleave has done it again!"
—Ed Conklin, Chaucer's Books, Santa Barbara, CA
"Using the microcosm of Olympic level biking and all the sacrifice that the athletes make for one shining moment, juxtaposed with the very real threat of losing a child, Cleave has ripped my heart out again with a family story where the lines are blurred and at the end there is only life left for us to ponder."
—Valerie Koehler, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX
"Gold by Chris Cleave is as riveting as an Olympic race for a gold medal."
—Patricia Sanders, Barnes & Noble #2940, Towson, MD
"Gold is a heartbreakingly wonderful novel. Cleave has written a breathtaking, multi-layered tale that has everything a good book needs: love, friendship, suspense, heart-pounding races, twists, turns, humor and of course, Star Wars references. I found myself holding my breath in anticipation of the next page wondering where the story would go and unable to put the book down until I read just one more page. Cleave has an unbelievable talent for writing about characters you fall in love with and want to keep reading about. I don't know which character I love the most, but I didn't want their stories to end…And how can you not fall in love with Sophie? Gold is destined to be a bestseller. Like Little Bee, when you finish the book, you want to talk about it…you want to tell someone they HAVE to read this amazing book."
—Eric Sample, Barnes & Noble #2305, Cedar Hill, TX

I really loved the last review of the book. Gold sounds like a really great novel, and I'm interested to check it out!
Hi Mr Cleave I will not comment about Gold novel but I will comment about THE other Hand Novel,M a young gal from the South of African continent and have been touched by d way u write,the more I read the more the book is getting interesting I would love to read more of your work. I like reading I wish my country can become a reading nation.thank you for sharing ur wonderful work God bless!..
Hi Chris,
I am a former asylum lawyer and am reading The Other Hand. Many people told me I would like it, given my former work, but I avoided it for a long time because returning to those memories can be rather painful. I stopped working in the field when I had my first child (nearly 10 years ago) because I knew I could not fail to bring my work home with me. I expect the experience will never leave me and I often think about my clients and the way they were treated not only in their own countries but in the UK, where they had hoped to be welcomed. I particularly love the relationship between LB and Yevette, and your portrayal of the interpersonal relationships and the mindset of a person who has experienced such suffering and agony is poignant.Thank you for taking the time to see the people behind the headlines.
I`m your fan from Iran,i can`t explain my feelings when i was reading both of your Novel,espacially incendiary,i am a mother and wife and if i didn`t know i could think that it has writen by a woman,heart breaking and wonderful,i was crying most of the parts.in the other hand i read those novel on kindle but i can`t find Gold in kindle list i don`t know how i can find it but hope able to read soon,truly i can`t wait for reading!
you lit up my whole life with your books,thank youMouji
I just finished reading Gold. This is one of the best books I have ever read! Thank you for Sophie, Zoe, Kate, Jack & Tom. I cried thru most of the last 40 or so pages but absolutely loved it.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog
when you could be giving us something enlightening to read? -
Just finished Gold, after absolutely loving Little Bee. Loved Gold too, especially the pacing, and non-linear storytelling. I was wondering on what your take is on the following question: I am having a hard time with why Kate and Jack would have wanted to be friends with Zoe? What were her redeeming qualities? She just didn't seem like a good friend at all, at least not one that I would want, even knowing where her struggles originate. They knew that she was manipulative and didn't completely trust her, so was it that they felt bad for her? That they had no other friends and were just too involved in each other's lives because of racing and Sophie? I just felt like they let her get away with too much while continuing to be her friend, which I just didn't completely understand. Wonderful writing, I look forward to reading more.
Just finished reading Gold and enjoyed it – but one question – Why is there no resolution for Tom? I liked his character very much -
I read Little Bee and absolutely loved your style of writing. Then I found Incendiary and once again was amazed by your literal talent. You have such a different, unique style of writing that is like no other. Then I was lucky enough to meet you at the Odyssey Bookstore in South Hadley, MA on July 10th and found you to be an extremely interesting guy. After my trip back home to the Olympics, which I might add, were amazing, I am now half way through reading Gold. (hope you got to see the cycling pass your house!) Having met you and listened to why and how you write the books that you have, it makes Gold all the more enjoyable as I can now "hear" you reading it and feel I can relate through a somewhat more personal connection.
I had not heard of The Other Hand until visiting your website, but will definitely be purchasing it very soon.
Thanks Chris for your books, they are incredibly written and like I said when I met you, at times you actually write in specific "English" terminology which living in the US now I don't hear these sayings anymore. They are a distant memory until I read a line in your book which then makes me laugh, brings back memories and also makes me feel a little bit like I am back at home. I am sure you don't even realize the phrases that I am referring to but want you to know it is pure British, and bloody fabulous! -
Through further investigation I have just realized that Little Bee & The Other Hand are one of the same!! Oh well it just means once I finish Gold I will have to wait for the next book to be written…

The Citadel Groupware Server
Setting up Kontact's Contacts (say that five times fast) is much the same as setting up KCalendar. Click the Contacts icon in the left-side pane. At the bottom of the middle column is a pane labeled Address Books. The right-click trick doesn't work here, so click the Add button instead. Select the same GroupDAV Server option, and fill in all the same data that you filled in for the KCalendar setup. Click the Refresh Folder List button, use the right-click-to-enable trick, and you're off to the races (Figure 8).
As with KCalendar, once you've set up your GroupDAV connector, you can now manage your contact data from either KDE or WebCit (Figure 9).
Tasks and the Journal are just plain-old work once KCalendar is set up. They don't require any of their own setup.
A lot of other clients support the GroupDAV protocol to varying degrees. Any of these can be used in place of Kontact, albeit likely with less functionality. For a complete list of clients and the status of their GroupDAV support, go to the GroupDAV site (www.groupdav.org/implementations.html).
GroupDAV isn't the only technology that can be used with Citadel. WebDAV and Webcal can be used with clients, such as Mozilla Sunbird and Evolution, to share calendars and schedule events. There is also a Microsoft Outlook connector in the works, but at the moment, Outlook can be used to access only POP/IMAP e-mail and IMAP folders. As time marches on, more and more clients that support GroupDAV and WebDAV come onto the scene. The Citadel FAQ contains a maintained list of clients and how to configure them.
Although a few groupware projects are underway that can give Microsoft Exchange a run for its money, we've found that Citadel is quite simply the easiest to install and maintain. The hardest part of a Citadel install is waiting for all the components to download. Citadel is under active development, and by the time this article prints, a new version may be out. The lead developer, Art Cancro, can be found in the Citadel support on the UNCENSORED! BBS forums (uncensored.citadel.org), along with other Citadel developers and experienced users.
Jon Watson (www.jonwatson.ca) is a Canadian GNU/Linux enthusiast who regularly contributes articles to the Linux community. When not writing, blogging and podcasting about free and open-source software, Jon frequently can be found in his office polishing his Linux+ certification, which impresses no one but himself.

Just tried out Citadel and I am AMAZED! When they say "Easy Install" they MEAN it! Up and running in about ten minutes. These guys have got it together.
I remember Citadel from its BBS days
Man, we're going way back now, aren't we? I remember using Citadel and Stonehenge BBS's back in the 1980's. I just got through visiting the current Citadel Web site, and for those like me who remember the original Citadel BBS, prepare to be amazed.
But for this article, I wouldn't have known that Citadel was still alive in *any* form, and I certainly had no idea in the world that it had evolved into a full-blown MS Exchange groupware replacement!
This is something worth downloading and trying out. I used to be a MS Exchange admin before I joined the Free Software movement, and I'm definitely looking forward to trying out this new Citadel. It had a well-deserved good reputation back in the BBS days. I can hardly wait to try out its groupware features of today!
More than just a BBS
Citadel's history as a BBS platform, combined with the fact that the Citadel developers have made an effort to try to change the way you think about groupware, leads some people to believe that the modern Citadel system is really nothing more than an overgrown BBS. But to think that way really does not give due credit to the extremely powerful capabilities of this platform.
Citadel is truly innovative -- it doesn't just try to be a feature-for-feature clone of Microsoft Exchange. The whole concept behind its design is that many of the concepts and style of user interaction that we became familiar with in the BBS world are actually quite useful in a conventional groupware scenario as well.
Using it now
Very true. We moved our mail server (approximately 100 users, previously running Microsoft Exchange) to Citadel, and not only does it perform flawlessly, but it really does change the way you think about groupware. Everyone else is trying to clone "Microsoft's way" but you know what, Microsoft's way is stupid. Citadel's approach is some fresh new thinking.
not only that, the community
not only that, the community is EXTREMELY active.
just joing the mailing list to see.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Today through Sunday only, MacZOT offers a free version of Inventive's iClip 3, apparently to build up an audience for the upcoming introduction of iClip 4. I've been playing with it for a little while this morning.
iClip extends your clipboard into an entire scrapbook of clippings, which I'm sure can be very useful for the right kind of application. As for me, I'm not sure I'm going to keep on using it after today. For items, particularly text items, that I use a lot, I prefer to create macros with QuicKeys.
As for pictures? I didn't find a huge advantage to sticking them into the clipboard over keeping a folder open and dragging them out as needed. What's more, I can move a folder around my screen–and I can't drag around the clippings.
I was hoping to be a lot more impressed with the software than I actually was. However, given that it's free, if you're looking for a clipboard extender of this type, it may be worth giving it a spin. And, if it suits you, consider upgrading when iClip 4 appears.

SYCAMORE - The Mohawk Historical Society is sponsoring a program, "The Life and Times of Annie Oakley," at 7 p.m. Thursday at Sycamore United Methodist Church, 211 N. Sycamore Ave., Sycamore.
The event is free and is to be presented by historian Marnie Hill of Upper Sandusky.
Born Phoebe Ann Moses, Annie Oakley (Aug. 13, 1860 Nov. 3, 1926) was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Oakley's talent led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar.
Oakley was born in a cabin near North Star in Darke County.
One of Oakley's most famous tricks was splitting a playing card repeatedly, edge-on at 90 feet, with a .22 caliber rifle, and putting several more holes in the card before it could touch the ground.
For more information, call program Director Kim Mohr at (419) 299-3579.

Everyone, I've fixed your online dating woes!
Wired magazine assembled a number of infographics this month of what makes for the most attractive online dating profile. It even included a list of the most appealing words men and women used in their profiles. The only trouble is how to work the key words into sentences. The rest of it just comes together by magic.
Men who used "whom" got 31 percent more opposite-sex replies, regardless of how they actually used it. Women who called themselves "girls" got more replies than those who didn't. It's all a science, really.
Based on what Wired said, I have concocted the most appealing online dating profiles of all time, using as many buzzwords as possible in as few words as I can. Context, shmontext - these are based on data! Feel free to use these in your "About Me" to attract a mate! True love, doubtless, is right around the corner, like prosperity in the Hoover era.
I spend all my time away from London and New York City, surfing the Internet to post hateful comments on athlete forums, and intending to do yoga.
I am often wasted at the office and have to be driven away by foodies for acting like Archer. My philosophy? Let models work out; my passion is laziness. Fitness? I call that "lucky physics."Creativity? "Charmed meditations."Europe is over the ocean, and maybe there's sushi there? My homeland is New York, and I don't feel anything for Radiohead. Sometimes I fashion pulp fiction meditations, girls!
I love surfing the surf - it's like skiing the ocean. Let's do yoga, whom.
I have a large collection of teeth. After mating, I gather passports (only those with blue eyes) to use in my confidence work. Who has time for retirement?
I like to take photography of my breakfast. I am awful at tennis. Things I hate with a passion? Weddings, teachers and puppies.
I have never been to London. I hate flying. Also kissing.
The best part of mornings is chocolate.
I don't have a lot of confidence, but I have a large collection of teeth and passports. One belonged to an athlete with blue eyes, whom I found in the ocean, or oceans, when I was hiking on the beach, covered in chocolate, taking stealth photography of strangers' weddings and enjoying the live music. (Ah, mornings!) In retirement, I will obtain many tattoos.
When we are kissing, my meditation will be about breakfast.
When I was a kid, I put puppies in trees. I said I wanted to see puppies flying. My teachers shuddered and said I would never find a nonfiction companion for passion and mating. My attractiveness is comparable to that of a workaholic flying to London. There is no skiing or surfing there. Or surf, for that matter.
You're welcome.

How is that done in CS4? In CS3, you were able to export a snapshot direct from the timeline into JPEG format (or something that can be emailed.) Now it starts a queue for Adobe Media Player and offers no such format for still pictures.
In CS4.1 it is easy (maybe not as easy as with CS3, but easy). You want to Export Frame, and it will use AME for this. The one difference is that in earlier versions, one could check to Add to Project. This is not possible, directly, anymore. You'd need to go to the Export folder, and then Import that TIFF/BMP into the Project.
Good luck,
As mentioned down in my earlier reply: TIFF, or BMP. JPEG is not available for an Export Frame. I use TIFF, and am very happy. If I need to work on the Exported Frame, I just open it in PS and do the work, Saving as a .PSD for use back in PrPro. Sorry that I did not flag that TIFF & BMP better.
Personally, I'd Export them to a working folder, and then use PS to do the compression. I'd pick an adequately small enough Image Size and create an Action to do the resizing, and go to Save_For_Web, again choosing a compression setting that was the best quality vs the smallest file size.
In File>Automate>Batch, one would point to the above folder as the Source Folder, and another, newly created one as the Destination Folder, then with that new Action set in the dialog screen, hit OK. In moments, you have that new folder filled with the resized, and compressed JPEG's.
Good luck,
That is only because you made the same mistake I have made many times. There is a tick box when exporting as BMP, labeled 'Export as sequence' which is turned on by default. You have to turn that off before exporting. I would prefer a different default, or even better, remembering the last setting.
BMP are also incredibly large, so it's not just that exporting a sequence is bad, the format is bad (for size) as well. Even TIFF's are huge, so unfortunately you have to export to TIFF and then resize with Photoshop (or another photo editor). Poor planning on Adobe's part. There are SO MANY times a user needs to e-mail a still to someone, and not having the ability to export JPEG is bad, bad, bad.
I believe that the decision, on Adobe's part, was to provide formats, that would be better to use in video production, than JPEG, which is compressed.
Now, Photoshop makes it easy to adjust an Image, regardless of original format, for e-mails, Web, etc., with Save_For_Web. That allows one to do so many more things, out of the realm of video editing.
However, that is but speculation on my part.
In my opinion, the number one reason to capture a screen shot is to show someone (director, cinematographer, etc.) what's going on after capture or in the edit (framing, color, subject matter, etc.). This means e-mailing the image, which is size prohibitive with TIFF. Excluding JPEG is an oversite on Adobe's part. JPEG is the format for photo exchange (some might argue PNG, but JPEG is still more universal/widely used), thus excluding JPEG from Premiere's export capapilities is not only frustrating, but irresponsible.
As far as "better used in video production," importing TIFF (for use in a composition/timeline), yes that is useful.
The whole point is: why would I need to open an entire other program (two in fact) for something as simple and oft used as exporting a JPEG from a timeline. I e-mail screen grabs to the director or various other people in the chain of command almost every time I use Premiere (on a daily basis), and having to open three programs (Premiere, Adobe Media Encoder, and Photoshop) for a simple screen shot is ridiculous.
Exactly my point. There is no image EDITING going on. It's a simple screen shot export, and there is no question that the ability to export a screen still for sharing directly from Premiere should be incorporated into the program. You can defend the oversite till you're blue in the face, but not being able to quickly share a screen still is not intentional; it's an obvious oversite.
The easy way, at no cost, to resize is:

Ville d'Avray
Although Corot traveled extensively throughout France and Italy in search of motifs to paint, he frequently found subjects close at hand at his father's estate in Villed'Avray, south of Paris. Corot painted the village from a variety of viewpoints—here, he positions himself at the edge of one of its ponds. He gives a hint of the rhythms of rural life with various figures scattered through the canvas—most notably, the peasant who gathers rushes from the edge of the pool. As is typical of Corot's work, the painting displays a hazy, almost smoky atmosphere of silvery grays and greens.

Wiz Khalifa Interview with SoulCulture.TV
Wiz Khalifa interviewed by Ski Beatz in London | SoulCulture.TV
Pittsburgh rap star Wiz Khalifa and legendary Hip Hop producer Ski Beatz crossed paths in London this week and caught up at the K West hotel for a chat, captured by SoulCulture TV, discussing how they first met and came to work together on "Scaling The Building" with Curren$y, from Ski's 2010 album 24 Hour Karate School."It's like Jay-Z — When I first met Jigga then the whole wave started happening, the next thing you know he's 'Jay-Z.' Now I'm looking at this kid like 'Ok, it's Wiz,' but now it's Wiz Khalifa," Ski Beatz reflects, going on to quiz Wiz about how he feels he has grown musically across his three albums to date, dealing with internet hate/criticism, whether his tree-filled release encourage his listeners to smoke weed and what impact his need to "re-create and stay brand new' has on his fanbase.
Filmed & Edited by: Andres Albert x Versetti
On Curren$y:
"Curren$y's like ahead of me, I feel… I feel like Spitta is ahead of the fucking game. People are gonna get it later though – and when they do they'll be like, 'Holy shit..' We're just lucky enough to understand it now."
On similarities to Snoop Dogg:
"It's the tall skinny-ness, smoking weedyness, smilingness, jokeyness… Pimpin'"
On being arrested for drug trafficking:
" – Allegedly. Those charges have been dropped… The case, that was a no-go. Everybody thought it was more serious than it was."
On improving:
"I feel myself getting better lyrically, more creative as far as songwriting and sequencing and placing stuff the right way… Sometimes it's not what you say, it's where you say it at."
Dealing with internet hate/criticism:
"I just deal with it, man. At the end of the day I know who I am as an artist and what I started out to do. If I branch off to do a certain sound then that's part of who I am, but I'm still this over here too – and I'm still that over there."
"It's part of the game and it's really there to make you appreciate what's important, because a lot of people get consumed in the hate and the negative energy and feel that's outweighing the positive, but in all reality there's more people who love me than ever; not more people who hate me."
"There's envy… Some people have no respect, too. You've gotta respect somebody's grind who works hard. You can't have your own personal attachment to it. I don't make the type of music for everybody, or you might not like me or what I do but you've gotta understand what I work towards and where I'm at now and you can't take that from me, because nobody just handed it to me."
On the influence of weed rap:
"I'm not influencing people to smoke weed; I'm influencing people to be free. If our common ground is marijuana, then great."
On his growth across three albums:
"I learned a lot more about music, I learned a lot more about myself as an artist and my fan base, and I got more free with my creations as far as just letting myself go completely. That's a skill in itself; to not really think about what you're doing and just do it and get the most natural out of it. I kinda just go for that and see how it works."
On career challenges:
"Not really difficult or challenging, but I gotta keep in mind to always re-create and stay brand new. It's easy to get comfortable when people like you for one thing… and it's scary to change and do different shit, but I always gotta just push myself and evolve and go to the next level.
"That's the most difficult part because you fuck with people's heads, you kinda lose fans, you gain fans… When I say lose fans, they kinda go away for a second and then they come back when they realise what you were doing because they didn't completely understand it."

Are you a junior in high school waiting impatiently for your senior year? Are you absolutely terrified because you don't know if you have all of your required courses? Does the idea of filling out scholarships frighten you? In this article, you will find some information to make senior year a little easier for you.
Every school has a specific number of credits in required courses you have to complete. At Valley, our required courses are English, math, science, history, physical education, health, art, keyboarding and a foreign language.
It's a good idea to ask your guidance counselor for a copy of your transcript, so you can see what credits you have and what ones you still need. Make sure you know what classes you've passed and if there are any you will need to retake next year or in a credit recovery/summer school program.
In high school there are two different tracks you can take: professional and vocational. Professional gets you ready for college, and vocational focuses more on preparing you for a trade. Bother are beneficial for your future, but they each require different credits for graduation.
You also have some great academic opportunities in high school like advanced placement classes and the National Honor Society. Valley High School counselor Matthew High says you should take advantage of those.
"AP gives you the chance to earn college credits, and National Honor Society looks good when applying to college," he said.
Taking AP classes in high school is a good way to earn college credits for less. You will usually have to pay to take the AP exam (unless your fee is waived or the school covers it), but it costs much less than paying for the class in college.

Review By: DrJones | Posted: 16/04/2000
The Final Word
Bloody, eye-popping, crazy! Pretty annoying at times, but should be good fun for you�re wrestling fans!
�Oh God, not another wrestling game!� I hear you say? But, before you make up your mind about this game, and stick it at the back of the list of games to buy. I think you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Extreme Championship Wrestling, is an East Coast based organisation, which in case you haven�t already guessed by the title, places the emphasis on �extreme wrestling�. It�s about time we had a whole new generation of wrestling heroes, which these guys are! WWF this aint� They don�t just prance around in their brightly coloured tights, like a lot of other wrestlers do. They take it just that one step further! These guys go as far as using foreign objects in the ring. Their unusual take on grappling means they�ll do things like throwing opponents through flaming tables and braking breeze blocks over their, (ahem) private bits! ECW is famed for its generous amounts of bloodshed, so it makes sense that there's a barbed wire mode included, in which I guess means; the blood should flow a little quicker and in which the ropes get replaced with, obviously, barbed wire!
The gameplay in ECW is almost identical to WWF Attitude and in that respect it would be hard to shake that feeling of dejavu, like you may have played it before. In it�s essence ECW Hardcore Revolution is basically WWF Attitude with a couple of new modes, some new sound effects and new wrestlers and their finishing moves. Once you get into the game and scramble through all the menus and in game controls, it�s quite good fun, I suppose.
As far as this game goes. If you want to become a success in the ECW arena, you need quite a bit of persistence! I found the moves damn hard to figure out, and the game really annoying at times, because the computer wrestler ends up jumping off ropes doing summersaults, and doing moves, which at times seems like it�s damn near impossible to figure out! It�s quite good fun to play if you have a hell of a lot of patience and don�t end up getting in a stress and throwing the control pad on the floor, like me (lol)! I find, personally that this game winds me up so much that I kind of get in a major stress, start swearing, turn evil and make it my damn mission to master this game� before I think, �ah sod this�, then give up! : 0)
I think, navigating around the menu screens is pretty straightforward. I have to admit, I thought it was pretty over-board when I first saw it. But when I finally got used to the game, moving around the screens became a lot easier. This really isn�t a game where you can just dive into the game headfirst, stab at all the buttons wildly and expect to get anywhere fast! Getting moves off can be quite hard at times. The main problem being that there�s a whole lot of control system to be dealt with before you can even begin to have fun with ECW.
Here is a list of controls to navigate your way around the main menu
On the title screen, press START. This will take you to the main menu.
Move the Analogue stick up/down, to highlight the menu item of your choice.
Move Analogue stick left/right, So you can toggle the highlighted menu settings.
A button. Will confirm your selection/take you to your next screen.
B button. This will cancel your selection/take you bake to your previous screen.
Start. This will pause the game.
Z button. This brings up the help menu.
There are Four different kind of modes to choose from. They are Exhibition, Career, Tournament, and Pay-per-view. There are also Three other modes on the main screen, which are: Create-a-wrestler, Utilities and Cheat menu.
Graphically, this game is an extremely nice looking game which I think will keep you hooked for quite some time. The animations come across as really smooth in which I can�t find anything to complain about! It sounds really good as well. When the folks in the audience are cheering, you could be forgiven for thinking it�s a real audience. That�s only when everyone is cheering, though! I reckon the announcer comes across as really good and quite accurate! He seems to keep in time with the wrestlers actions. But because Joey Styles (the voice of ECW) is working alone, there isn�t an over flow of speech. The only problem with the game�s sound is, when you customise your own wrestler, you�re seriously limited to the entrance theme songs you can choose from. The theme songs you have to choose from are the entrance songs of real wrestlers. But, considering there are over 40 wrestlers, only having 10 songs to choose from does get a little boring after a while! Another thing, which is slightly annoying about the game is, While wrestling, it�s inevitable that the audience is going to shout and cheer. But what I find stupid is that for no reason what so ever the entire audience suddenly stops cheering, which I think would be totally unrealistic in a real wrestling situation! When they do cheer, they usually spout off a load of totally lame phrases. It�s obvious; you either like or hate a wrestler. Either way you�ll cheer or boo, to get your opinion across. I bet there�s well over a thousand people at theses wrestling venues, and for it to suddenly go totally quite is quite frankly completely stupid and unrealistic!
Personally, I�m undecided about this game. It�s quite a good game, but because it�s ECW and not WWF, I don�t like it as much. In no way does that affect the game at all. Because the game it self, is still extremely good! This game is worth the buy if wrestling games are your thing. I don�t really know whether this game, personally would be on my list of games to buy. I like a lot of aspects about it but there�s a few, which quite frankly, get on my nerves! It�s a really nice looking and sounding game and has big possibilities for all you wrestling fans who like to get in on the action with a good old console game. I�m afraid; I just can�t be included in that category. The reason being, as far as thrash-em and bash-em games go, I�ve always preferred, things like Street fighter EX, and Mortal Kombat style beat-em-ups. I just can�t be arsed with all these wrestling games. I�d much rather watch it on television!

Cedar Rapids Weather
Vote Yes Linn County Releases List of 58 Investors in Casino ProjectBy Rick Smith, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — The Just Say No Casino campaign has been calling for a list of investors in a proposed Cedar Rapids area casino for weeks.
On Monday, Vote Yes Linn County released a list of 58 investors, including the investor group's leader, Steve Gray. "The investors in this casino are local people and have strong ties to Linn County," Steve Gray, founder of Gray Venture Partners, said about himself and the others. "We are supporting the casino and encouraging others in Linn County to do the same." Scott Stines of Cedar Rapids, a member of the Just Say No Casino group, on Monday wondered why Gray hadn't released the information months ago. "Why are they waiting until the last minute to release this vital information?" Stines said in a statement. "Because the people of Linn County are demanding answers. Unfortunately, this list is incomplete. Just like all the communication that has come from casino investors, it doesn't give us the whole story." According to Gray, the investors who now are announcing support for the casino are: Steve Allsop, Pat Baird, Jodi Balvanz, Jim Balvanz, Larry Bergdale, John Bloomhall, Barry Boyer, Tom Brown, Scott Byers, Craig Byers, Brad Canfield, Pat Cobb, Jim Cownie, Tami Culver, Todd Culver, Chad Dummermuth, Maria Dummermuth, George Grask, Steve Gray, Stephen Griggs, Jerry Haman, Frederick M.

What happened to Shenandoah Acres??? We went there years ago and as soon as last summer and was looking forward to going again but it seems they have gone poof???? Can someone help let me know what happened....Thanks in advance!!!

Judged: 1 it gives a little more information |
Thank you Debbie...I went as a kid when I was 10, when I lived in Culpeper and went again several more time after we moved to Maryland. The last time was in 2003 and was soooo heat broken when we found out it is no longer open. I was born in Charlottesville but didn't go to SA until after I moved to Culpeper...
United States |
I was very sad to learn that SA had closed. I went as a kid and now that I'm older and have children of my own I was looking forward to taking them ,so that they could have the same memory's that I had. Can anyone talk to the new owners to let them know how much the place is missed and see if they are ever planning to reopen??
Is is true that Shenandoah Acres is no longer open? I was trying to plan a trip there this weekend because I have not been since I was a child, but I stumbled across this forum and was sad to learn the news. |
My wife and I went there for the first time in 1975 the year we got married.The last time I went there was 2003.I cant believe they sold it after putting in all the new buildings.What a shame.Just what we need another Christian retreat.
I live in the same county that Shenandoah Acres was in. My husband works just down the road from where the resort was. My children and I loved to go there. The resort is now being turned into a high end housing development, I think. I heard something on the radio today about it. There will be 70 some lots sold. They will have a pool with slide, park with playgound, and a pond to fish in. I asked my husband where that was and he said he thought it was were Shenandoah Acres was. I can't remember the new name of the developement.
wow hard to belive that the place has closed.i myself use to go there as a kid i first went there when i was in the boy scouts and had a great time there.i kept goin back every so often but its been years since i had been an was looking to plan a trip there with my g/f an her kids.im really sorry to find out that its closed.
I cant believe it is gone. What a freaking waste.
Wow...I can't believe that it closed. I worked there 4 summers in a row while in high school at SDHS. I moved away after my senior year and was wanting to bring my kids there for a vacation so they could see where mommy used to work and play. Hate to see that it was gone. It kept alot of us out of trouble and gave us a safe place to hang out.

I went to Shenandoah Acres as a Cadet at Staunton Military Academy (Summer School) and loved it. I've been back there dozens of times, but not since 1997. Now I find out that it's closed! Now I just have the memory of riding that cable...
I believe Mr. and Mrs. Blacka had to sell it because insurance premiums were getting outrageous. A few lawsuits will do it. It is a shame. The place was an affordable getaway for so many people over the years. Yes, we will miss the cable ride.
Yeah I drove to it last fall for my birthday and it was closed, no signs, no notice, and it doesn't say anything about it on any of the websites, except this one, that i've found. it was such a nice combination or wilderness and modernity, i'm going to miss it. one of my best camping trips was at Shenandoah Acres, and I'm sorry that I can't share it with other people who have the love of camping that i do.
I went down to SA this past August. I wanted my daughter to see where I grew up and hung out. I used to be neighbors with the Eavers. Never thought they would do this. I was totally disappointed to drive all the way down there to see what I saw. I am still shocked today that they did this. A safe place for kids. Now what are the kids going to do on summer vacation? It really sucks.
I hope that one day the Eavers will consider reopening SA to the public.
It's such a beautiful, family friendly, and safe resort for little ones. Our children miss it very much. Where there's a will, there's a way. |
I have so many many fond memories of that place. I, too, hope that some day the Eavers will reopen SA to the public. I have it from a couple of sources that they are turning it into a Christian retreat. I don't know the entire story. Every Sunday, as a child, we'd pack up and go to Shenandoah Acres. We'd go camping or rent a cottage. I took my husband there when we were dating, I took my kids there for years as they grew and was hoping to someday take my future grandchildren!!! I have started collecting SA memorabilia, old pamphlets, etc.
Okay, now I remember where I got that information. My sister is good friends with one of the Blacka daughters and called her when she found out that SA had closed. I also read that they sold out because of high insurance costs. Now that can all be taken with a grain of salt, because I don't know firsthand.
Debbie, I have a grandson who went once to SA and fell in love as did I many years ago...I thank you for keeping me and the rest of us up to date with news on SA' standing and future!!! THANK YOU!!! LC |
