Practice Philosophy
My personal 'aesthetic sensibility' is this: A good aesthetic surgery result looks natural, not 'done'. The ideal way for a prospective plastic surgery patient to decide to 'have something done,' and to get that natural result, is to get the best information available from a source with experience and appropriate credentials whom you trust with your well-being. This is what I do my best to provide for every individual that I meet in consultation.

Non-surgical Aesthetic Enhancements
The specialty of plastic surgery has seen dramatic advances over the last several years. Many plastic surgery procedures have become less invasive, and can be accomplished with shorter scars.
The focus of facial aesthetic surgery in my practice is the restoration of facial volume associated with youth, rather than primarily removing tissue and 'tightening faces up'. The focus of body contouring surgery in my practice is to provide natural, youthful contours for patients, rather than changes that make it quite obvious that plastic surgery has been performed.
Like plastic surgery, the field of medical aesthetics has also made remarkable advances. Medical aesthetics focuses on non-surgical means for restoring and preserving the youthfulness of facial features, and the body in general. New treatments and products are now available which can produce noticeable results immediately and, over time, reverse many common aging changes. Many treatments improve the results of, and shorten the recovery from, aesthetic plastic surgery procedures.
In order to provide our clients with the full spectrum of medical and surgical aesthetic technology, we have designed a fully integrated plastic surgery office and medical spa. We take pride in carefully evaluating emerging aesthetic technology, and in offering only those products, services and procedures which are safe, effective and scientifically sound.
Our mission is to provide each client with individualized care, specifically tailored to personal needs and goals, and to provide this in an environment which is private, peaceful, relaxing and restorative.
All surgical procedures requiring intravenous sedation or general anesthesia are performed in a hospital-based operating room. Anesthesia services are provided exclusively by board-certified MD anesthesiologists, assisted by licensed CRNA's (Nurse Anesthetists).
Minor procedures requiring local anesthesia only or local anesthesia plus oral sedation can be performed in the office.

Mahony's Po Boy Shop
3454 Magazine St
New Orleans, LA 70115
Napoleon's Rating - ***/*****
After an eight-year run preparing upscale seafood and other Latin-infused dishes at RioMar, Benjamin Wicks took a radically different tack, opening Mahony's as a tribute to old school New Orleans po-boy shops. It's a place where the standards are done with doting attention to detail and a few more contemporary creations put a new spin on the po-boy experience.
Mahony's opened in the former location of Winnie's Artsy Café, a sandwich shop with a highly whimsical interior décor. All of that is gone, though the sunny, open dining room is quickly accumulating a collection of framed art and nostalgic, New Orleans-themed décor as its fresh renovation begins to slowly season. There is a long, handsome bar of salvaged cypress and, and a few tables outside on the high front porch make great, shaded perches overlooking Magazine Street.
Mahony's uses the standard po-boy service style: you order at the register, they holler your name when it's ready. When the place is slammed, which seems increasingly common lately, the wait can seem excessive, though it's clear the staff is hustling.
Mahony's puts more energy into its side dishes than most po-boy shops, beginning with the excellent onion rings. These aren't actually rings at all, but rather very thin, frilly ribbons of fried onion. You can eat them like popcorn, and their just as irresistible. Creole mustard, pickled jalapeno and fresh herbs go into the chunk potato salad.
It's a combination of ironclad fundamentals and an eye for the little things that set the po-boys at Mahony's apart. The roast beef pulls apart into big, thick strands and gets a substantial gravy with visible bits of carrot and onions. Chisesi-brand hams are glazed with root beer extract for a mellow vanilla sweetness at the edges and flaky pieces of turkey are clearly cut from a whole roasted bird rather than sliced from a deli loaf. The meatballs make hearty, full-flavored po-boy fillings with their blend of beef and pork and ample portions of garlic. The tomato sauce is chunky and earthy, though the fresh mozzarella doesn't melt as well as I'd prefer.
Fried seafood comes out pretty well, especially the crusty, cornmeal-coasted oysters and the substantial shrimp. You can add bacon and cheddar to the oysters for Mahony's over-the-top "peacemaker" loaf, though the most offbeat rendition here pairs grilled shrimp with fried green tomatoes and remoulade sauce. It's busy, and messy, but very good. The fried chicken liver po-boy is just too rich for me to really get into, though I know some people fantasize about all those crispy little organs waiting under a mayonnaise slather.
Not many people staring down a big po-boy leave room for dessert, but the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing is worth the effort, as is the sweet potato crunch pie.
There is a full bar, with Abita on draft.
These po-boys are generously stuffed, but the small sizes are not bargains. They start at $6.50 and go up to almost $10 for a six-inch sandwich. The large sizes make up the difference, though, since these are twice as long for much less than twice the price.
Somewhere along the line, certain po-boy shops make the leap from convenience eatery to esteemed neighborhood institutions, places where people line up not just for a sandwich but to commune with the spirit of the city. Entering its second year in business, Mahony's is a long way from any kind of landmark status, but it's earning a strong regular following on the strength of the cooking and skillful blend of tradition and updates.

The future was a chrome-trimmed triangular window in the front of dad's car, and it had its own knob to open it up. The future was a hamburger under a light fixture that looked like an atom. The future was going to be awesome."Welcome to THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!" Raygun Gothic is a ubiquitous aesthetic of early- and mid-20th century Science Fiction, roughly from Metropolis to Star Trek: The Original Series. Raygun Gothic architecture is modeled after Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, and/or Populuxe (aka Googie). Everything is slick and streamlined, with geometric shapes and clean parallel lines constructed of shiny metal and glass, lit prominently by neon. Sweeping curves, parabolas, and acute angles are used to suggest movement — movement into The Future. And of course, futuristic fancy-pants technology of the future is ubiquitous. Ray Guns, jet packs, flying cars, Video Phones, Space Clothes, atomic-powered everything, cigar-shaped Retro Rockets and other Shiny-Looking Spaceships, and "electronic brains" capable of calculating complex equations in mere minutes, all decorated with little blinking lights that don't really serve any purpose (but they sure look futuristic!). This is the bright, optimistic vision of The Future that, until sometime in the mid-1960s, the Western world believed was just around the corner. Our failure to make these dreams a reality means that works featuring Raygun Gothic are highly prone to Zeerust. Retro-Futurism is a Genre Throwback to this vision. Stick "Atomic Power" logos on everything, (as well as perhaps slide the scale a bit to the "cynical" side) and you've got Atom Punk. The Mad Scientist Laboratory and Spaceship are among the most commonly used locations in a Raygun Gothic setting. The most commonly used monsters tend to be nuclear mutants and aliens in general. The only thing that could possibly look more futuristic is Crystal Spires and Togas. See also Zeerust, Weird Science, and Retro Rocket. Contrast with Diesel Punk, Used Future, and Everything Is an iPod in the Future. Not to be confused with Warhammer 40,000, which is just Gothic with rayguns.

OTTERY: EDDC steps in to resolve confidentiality dispute
Friday, 17 January 2014
The East Devon District Council monitoring officer has met with Ottery St Mary town councillors to help resolve a dispute over an alleged breach of council confidentiality rules.
Councillors met with the monitoring officer on Wednesday of last week (January 8th) to come to an understanding on the appropriate course of action, after weeks of disagreement over the interpretation of procedural rules and codes of conduct.
At the full town council meeting on Monday, December 2nd, Councillor Roger Giles was judged to have broken confidentiality rules by divulging information about a private meeting to be held between councillors and housing developer Persimmon Homes, to Ottery's District and County Councillor Claire Wright.
Persimmon Homes have since confirmed their intention to submit a planning application to build homes in an area of land adjacent to Higher Broad Oak Road in West Hill.
Councillor Giles claimed that he had been "put on trial" by other members of the council and had been subject to "bullying". He has since insisted that he has never broken confidentiality rules.
An EDDC spokesperson said: "The meeting made a helpful contribution to the monitoring officer's assessment. She will continue to assess the complaints that have been received and will decide what – if any – action needs to be taken."
Tensions between councillors resurfaced at the full town council meeting on Monday (January 6th) where Councillor Giles again fended off criticism. In response to a comment from Councillor Paul Carter that he had already admitted to having passed on confidential information, Councillor Giles said: "I strongly deny that accusation – I have never divulged anything of a confidential nature. To be accused of something like that pains me greatly."
Mayor of Ottery, Councillor Glyn Dobson, acknowledged that a number of letters of complaint had been sent to the town council, but said he did not know how many had been received.
The monitoring officer was also due to discuss with councillors the possibility of drawing up a policy on pre-application meetings with prospective planning applicants, to avoid similar situations occurring in the future.
Further details from the meeting have yet to be released.

These solutions can be broadly categorized into the delivery of solar electrification, clean water, education and livelihood development, healthcare, rural handicrafts, and communication.
Development Workshops
Immersion in development interventions and sustainability development and social change occurs through the program's five- to seven-day workshop. Diverse workshop opportunities are offered in the states of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
Sample workshop sites:
- Kiran Centre (Madhopur/Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh)
A center for education and rehabilitation for children and youth — many of whom have polio, cerebral palsy, rickets, or hearing impairments — Kiran provides children with education, vocational training, physical rehabilitation, and other skills. At Kiran, SIT students are able to see the work in all the units and to volunteer their time with children and youth.

Bengals LB Keith Rivers will be allowed to practice with the team on a three-week roster exemption, once he's cleared for football activities following offseason wrist surgery.
Rivers had surgery on his right wrist in July and is currently on the Reserve/Non-Football injury list. This exemption will allow him to practice with the team without having him take a spot on the 53-man roster.
He could be added to the 53-man roster at any point during the three-week period, at which point the Bengals would have to make a corresponding roster move to create space on the active roster.
Rivers, a first-round pick out of USC in 2008, has 186 tackles and two interceptions in his career.
The way we see it
Whether Rivers can regain his starting role with the Bengals remains to be seen. His replacement, Thomas Howard, has played well as part of one of the AFC's top defenses.

Another fantastic race, eh? I missed watching it live, but managed to watch it later without knowing the result. And I must say that I am really loving F1 this year!
But how did you all do in Fantasy Racers? Let's see which drivers were the best value for money:
Not surprisingly, it's Vettel who tops the list – but very surprisingly Kobayashi and Buemi are very close behind – remember these guys have the potential for a decent finish, but have been unlucky so far this season. Great job if you picked those two! The McLaren drivers seem to suffer a lot when they do badly – which suggests that their values either fluctuate too greatly or they are overvalued. A bad race for you if you picked Schumacher, Massa or di Resta, along with Glock who all had bad results and therefore did not score as well as hoped.
Over the last three races, this is what the PPM average out to:
I suppose one good or bad result can make a big difference, but it's only to be used as a form guide anyway. Interesting that the midfield drivers are mixing it up with the front running teams though! The next race (Spain) is the fifth race of the season, so maybe I'll start taking a look at the average for the last 5 races and see if that makes a difference?
So just a quick one from me – let me know how you did and if you plan on making any transfers. Remember that the deadline is at 5pm GMT on the Friday of the Grand Prix!

Search and rescue crews working to locate a missing climber on Mount Hood located a body on Saturday afternoon.
The Oregon Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter discovered the body around 1:30 p.m. at the top of Sandy Glacier near 8,400 feet.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said there is a high probability it is Dr. Kinley Adams, but crews were not able to reach the body because it wasn't safe for ground crews.
Officials said there are plans underway to launch a recovery team early Sunday morning.
For the last week, search and rescue crews have attempted to locate Adams, 59, who went climbing on Saturday, June 22. His family reported him missing after he never returned that night.
Friday was the first day the Oregon Army National Guard was able to launch three helicopters to assist in the search.

The 1998 New York Yankees were, quite simply, one of the greatest teams in the history of baseball. They had terrific players at almost every position and an elite pitching staff that ranked among the best in the game. While such productivity was expected out of many of them, like Bernie Williams and David Cone, there were several pleasant surprises on that team, like Orlando Hernandez and Shane Spencer. Perhaps the biggest shock was the All-Star season of third baseman Scott Brosius.
The Yankees acquired Brosius in November of 1997 in a trade with the Oakland Athletics. The purpose of the deal was to unload disappointing free agent acquisition Kenny Rogers, who struggled to an ERA of 5.11 in the first two seasons of the four-year, $20 million deal he signed with the Yankees prior the the '96 season. He bombed in all three of his playoff starts in '96, then was so abysmal in '97 (5.65 ERA and 128 ERA- in 145 innings) that he was left off the playoff roster. The Yankees wanted to try a young starter in Rogers's rotation spot instead, so they dealt him to Oakland for a player to be named later shortly after the season on November 7th. A week and a half later, that player was revealed to be Brosius.
The 31-year-old had been in the Oakland organization for his entire career thus far and spent time at every regular position except catcher. Oakland understandably used him as a utilityman until he won the starting job at third in '94, though he was still used at multiple positions from time to time. Brosius gradually improved until he hit a career-high 22 homers in 114 games to go along with a .304/.393/.516 triple slash, a .392 wOBA, and a 131 wRC+ with sterling defense in '96. He earned a $1.58 million raise in arbitration, and he promptly rewarded the Athletics with the worst season of his career in '97. His slump was startling, as he fell by at least 100 points in nearly every major category to .203/.259/.317, a .258 wOBA, and a terrible 50 wRC+ in 129 games. He wasn't sure where his career was going, but the Yankees offered him another chance. After letting Wade Boggs and Charlie Hayes depart, they were really only looking for a stopgap at the major league level while top third base prospect Mike Lowell spent more time at the AAA level (he had been promoted from AA to AAA midseason and hit .276/.347/.562 with 15 homers down the stretch in '97).
The Yankees hoped that Brosius would return to '96 form in a new environment, and fortunately for them, he did. He felt less pressure buried at the bottom of a deep lineup that mostly included fellow newcomers Chuck Knoblauch and Chili Davis, rising stars Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada, and established veterans Williams, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, Darryl Strawberry, and Tim Raines. Brosius was only really expected to play a good third base and at least improve his hitting to the levels of catcher Joe Girardi and outfielder Chad Curtis. Brosius far and away exceeded expectations with a .300/.371/.472, 123 wRC+ season while playing in a career-high 152 games. The fact that the Yankees had a player who hit 19 homers while often batting ninth in the lineup made handling the offense a scary proposition. The offense supplemented the already-strong pitching staff with 965 runs and the team won a then-American League record 114 games, running away with the AL East title one year after being forced to settle for a Wild Card.
Brosius kept hitting throughout the playoffs as the Yankees swept the Division Series against the Texas Rangers and recovered from a 2-1 deficit to capture the ALCS in six games over the defending AL champion Cleveland Indians, the team that knocked them out of the '97 playoffs. Now, both the Yankees and Brosius had redemption from the previous campaign. Between the two rounds, Brosius hit .333/.364/.567 in nine games with a pair of homers. The Yankees would take on the underrated San Diego Padres in the World Series, who stunned the National League by nearly sweeping the powerhouse Atlanta Braves in the NLCS. Former Yankee starter Sterling Hitchcock was named the NLCS MVP for outdueling Cy Young Award winners Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine in two starts with a 0.90 ERA, the latter of the two starts coming in Game 6 after the Braves had become the first team to ever trail a best-of-seven 3-0 and force a sixth game. He halted Atlanta's rally in its tracks, and he sought to stop his old teammates when he got the ball in World Series Game 3.
The Yankees rallied from down 5-2 in the seventh inning of Game 1 at Yankee Stadium with Padres ace Kevin Brown on the mound to take the opener 9-6, and after collecting a hit in the first game, Brosius went 3-for-5 in the team's Game 2 victory. The series switched coasts to San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium with the Yankees holding a commanding advantage. Another win would put the Padres on the brink of a sweep, but a loss to Hitchcock would put the Padres right back in the series with the next two games at home. For the first six inning, Hitchcock again outpitched another Cy Young Award winner in Cone, and the Padres took a 3-0 lead in a rally sparked by Hitchcock's leadoff single, which was the Padres' first hit off Cone.
The first batter Hitchcock faced after running the bases in the bottom of the sixth was Brosius, who had reached in his previous at bat on an infield single. The third baseman had a great at bat against Hitchcock and forced him to a full count before connecting on a solo homer over the left field wall. The Yankees were on the board, and a double later, Hitchcock departed the game. Reliever Joey Hamilton gave up another run as the Padres' defense betrayed them with a passed ball and an error on third baseman Ken Caminiti that allowed the second run to score. Although the Padres carried the slimmest of leads into the eighth inning, they were confident that they could pull out a win now that they had a late lead. That meant All-Star closer Trevor Hoffman would soon be in the game.
Hoffman had a tremendous season in '98, the best of the future Hall of Famer's career. The man who would one day became the first closer to save 500 and 600 games saved 53 in '98 and used his devastating changeup to pitch to a 1.48 ERA and 37 ERA-. His season was so impressive that he finished second in the NL Cy Young voting behind Glavine that year and even earned more first-place votes than Glavine. Opposing batters hit just .165/.232/.229 against Hoffman in '98. O'Neill led off the eighth with a walk against reliever Randy Myers, and that brought Hoffman into the game as the crowd went crazy with the awesome chords of "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC blaring in the background. He did not have his best stuff today though. Williams connected on a long fly ball to deep right that was caught at the warning track, and Martinez walked to bring up Brosius with two men on.
On a 2-2 count, Brosius made great contact with a bad pitch from Hoffman, a 91 mph fastball up and sent it high in the air to deep center field. Steve Finley went back to the wall, but it was gone; Brosius thrust his hands into the air in joy. The Yankees had beaten San Diego's best and took a 5-2 lead. It was the pinnacle moment of a World Series MVP performance from Brosius, who later said, "This is the type of thing that you've dreamt about as a kid. I've done this in my backyard a hundred times." Though Mariano Rivera allowed a run to score in relief of Ramiro Mendoza, the Yankees' own future Hall of Fame closer kept his lead and the Yankees won the game 5-4 thanks to Brosius's multi-homer game. They won the next game over Brown 3-0 and finished their sweep of the Padres to complete arguably the greatest season in the history of baseball--125 wins. Brosius hit .471/.471/.824 in the sweep and as previously mentioned, won the World Series MVP.
The Yankees traded Lowell and re-signed Brosius after the season and won two more championships in a row with him, but he never had a season like '98 again, then retired after the Yankees lost in the 2001 World Series. Meanwhile, Lowell went on to have a fine 13-year career with the Florida Marlins and Boston Red Sox while none of the three players he was traded for panned out for the Yankees.
Still, Brosius's moment 14 years ago today lives on in the memories of many Yankee fans who will never forget him for his World Series heroics.

After all the celebration comes to an end, and the decorations are put away, there tends to be something that overcomes most American's, January Blues. Dr. Joy explores the symptoms, its causes and give you some tips to beat the Blues and it's depressive hold.
What are the causes of January Blues?
·The holidays are over and there isn't much to look forward to (no major holidays, no breaks from work, spring is far away, etc.)
·After having time off from work during the holiday season, going back to work is difficult for many who won't get time off until summer.
·Budget concerns as the credit card bills pile in after the December overspending binge
·Fatigue and unhealthy behaviors, which were part of the "holiday spirit." Whether overeating, over-consuming, or not getting enough sleep, January is a time when most Americans feel the effects of the holidays.
·Thinking back at the holidays with guilt and remorse. It is a time of self-blame and sadness for many whose holiday did not come out as they expected.
Are there some other concerns that add to the January depression?
·Research indicates that seasonal affective disorder adds to many American's depression. As you know, the lack of sunlight affects many Americans and it multiplies the effects of depression.
·Many American's realize they got caught in the holiday frenzy- whether it was related to spending, or being caught up in the frenzy of activities. January tends to be a time when everyone is exhausted physically and emotionally but the new year brings on new expectations and demands in the workplace
·The holidays are a time when most people try to be happy and joyful. After the holidays lots of families are faced with issues related to relationships (divorce), facing issues with alcoholism that displayed it's effects during the holidays, and dealing with financial concerns and the realities of the economy.
What are some suggestions to beat the January blues?
·Acknowledge that you are blue. Just recognizing the issue is half the battle.
·Reach Out. The greatest step you can make is to reach out and try to socialize and be with people who love and support you. Remember that we tend to isolate when we are depressed, so engaging with others help relieve some symptoms of aloneness
·Talk to a licensed counselor. 70-80 percent of those who are depressed can be helped with 4-6 therapy sessions. Remember that therapy gives you skills that can break through destructive thoughts and actions.
·Go out outside. Go for a walk, open the shades and try light therapy if you suffer from seasonal affective disorder.
·Focus on the positives. Remember you have a choice… you can focus on the guilt, blame, negatives and concerns, or you can start to focus on gratitude, self love and seeing what your life holds for you to enjoy.

A grassroots effort to bring Lucas Valley's project to the Hangars at Hamilton Landing is being led by resident Marla Fields, who said it may be a longshot but she wants to roll out the red carpet for the film company.
The Lucasfilm withdrawal from the Grady Ranch has created a near feeding frenzy of Bay Area cities including Dixon, Vallejo's Mare Island, Fairfield, Lagoon Valley in Solano County, Oakland and San Francisco all vying for the economic boost and star power of the project.
Hangars & Residential Set for Production
As recently as December 2010, a Disney animation company, had made its home in two of the former airplane hangars at Hamilton Landing. Originally a military base, Hamilton was built in the 1930s and converted to a mixed-use residential and commercial community in Novato in the late '90s.
The hangars were purchased and transformed into modern office space by Barker Pacific Group and current tenants include the , Birkenstock, the and gaming company Take Two Interactive.
In a pitch for support to residents via the Hamilton Community Forum egroup, Fields, who has been lobbying city officials to address vacant and blighted city-owned properties at Hamilton, said she sees a potential remedy with a Lucasfilm project.
We have a production studio recently occupied by ImageMovers Digital, an old theater that would make a wonderful screening room, city-owned vacant parcels that could be developed if more space is needed, wonderful views of the largest wetlands restoration in the country, hiking and biking trails as well as the Bay Trail, an upcoming Hamilton train station for easy access, a newly renovated gorgeous pool and soon a new gymnasium, and most importantly, a community of residents who I am confident would roll out the red carpet and welcome Mr. Lucas to our neighborhood.
Fields urged supporters to send letters to the Novato City Council, Marin County's Board of Supervisors and Supervisor Judy Arnold.
Hamilton Well-Known to George Lucas
Filmmaker George Lucas is no stranger to the hangars at the former Hamilton Field Air Force Base. Scenes for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom were shot on location at the hangars.
The historic hangars and Spanish-revival buildings have also served as backdrop for other feature films including, The Right Stuff, Red Tails and Tucker: The Man and His Dream.
Lucas would be welcome to work his movie magic at Hamilton, said Brian Eisberg, a senior vice president with Cornish & Carey Commercial, the hangars leasing agency. He suggests that emails be directed to the Novato City Council and City Manager Michael Frank.
Eisberg said the company will be following up a written submission with requests for a meeting with Skywalker Properties and is looking for community support. There was a rumor that a meeting with Lucasfilm team had already been arranged for this week but Eisberg said that a meeting had not yet been scheduled.
In an email Eisberg said:
In addition to a multimillion dollar contribution from the owners of these hangars, the Walt Disney Company spent nearly $40 million of their own money creating a state of the art movie making facility in these Hangars, including the iconic Control Tower. There is no other way to describe the space other than phenomenal. Hamilton Landing has won several green awards for reduced energy costs and employee comfort due to their advanced engineering.
Square Footage Matches; Environment Differs
Hayden Ongaro, vice-president and managing director for Cornish & Carey, points to 240,000-square-feet of available space that includes two hangars, a build-to-suit office building and existing space in the remaining five partially-occupied hangars.
Although the Grady Ranch project was planned for a nearly comparable 269,000-square-foot digital studio, that site would have been built from scratch over a two year timeframe with Spanish mission-style buildings, two 85-foot towers, nine bridges, and a large buffer of space to shield the campus from public view, according to the precise development plan presented to the county's planning commission.
According to the Skywalker Properties website, the all-inclusive community would have held a general store, gym, day care and cafe to support an estimated 340 employees, actors and guests.
Nearly 450 employees worked at ImageMovers Digital at Hamilton but in contrast, the hangars are highly visible and located in the midst of a mixed-use community that developer Peter Palmisano tagged with the slogan, "Live, Work, Play, Belong" when the military base was converted in early '90s.
It's a far cry from the pastoral, isolated campus that was planned for Grady Ranch.
Ongaro said he was in contact with a Lucasfilm representative on April 23 and said, "There unfortunately is no interest in Hamilton at this time."
But that's not keeping Ongaro from pulling out all the stops. He said that the existing hangar site is nearly move-in ready, allowing actual film production to start almost immediately.
"The community amenities available to Lucas' employees are very rich and impressive in their own right offering a unique live/work community," Ongaro said in an email.
"We hope that LucasFilm will at least inspect and give serious consideration to this opportunity," he added.

- GNO - restaurant weekOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Really nice atmosphere, wonderful wine. Since it was restaurant week all 6 of us ordered off of the price fix menu. I would go back for and recommend wine and dessert but dinner was just ok. Cold duck with soggy skin :/Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- it was okOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014the food was overpriced. small portions. and not a large selection of choices. probably wont come back. awesome restaurant decor thoughSpecial Features:
- Nice ambiance - average foodCODiner164Dined on 8/29/2014My girlfriend decided to take us to Beatrice & Woodsley for restaurant week. I chose to order off the menu vs using the restaurant week fixed price option as it only offered duck, monkfish and a veggie meal option. A nice way to describe the menu is eclectic but it is really just limited and not anything special. The crawfish beneignettes were mostly fried dough with very little crawfish. My chicken paperdelle was ok. I almost confused the pappardelle and the asparagus for a garnish. Portions are small and the meal overall was not very memorable beyond it being expensive. The interior of the restaurant is also eclectic but it is a nice and unique setting for a quiet date.Special Features:
- Highlight was the bathroomOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014I was attracted to Beatrice & Woodsley by their ambiance, trees around the tables & chainsaws holding up the bar. Sadly the most impressive part of the evening was my trip to the bathroom with an amusing set of pulleys & a rainchain to wash my hands. For a restaurant that has a weekly rotating menu & was expecting a little more excitement for restaurant week.Special Features:
- DisappointmentNatureLoverDined on 8/28/2014Loved the ambience and the small touches added to the dining experience. I ordered the Monkfish and was brought the duck. When my fish arrived it was unbearably salty, and I like salt. If my date wouldn't have been so mortified, I would have sent it back.Special Features:
- Trendy surprise on BroadwaybgdinerDined on 8/26/2014Loved the interior's ecclectic decor! Staff was very friendly and helpful - knowing the wines listed and making excellent recommendations. Delicious and unique cocktails. The food was outstanding! Even decaf coffee was wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/24/2014We visited with a group of four during restaurant week, and were all a bit disappointed. Only one of us ordered the restaurant week menu, the rest of us ordered from the normal menu. The vegetarian dish was very undercooks so the beans and veggies were still tough and had bad texture. The service was spacey. I had been here before with more impressive food, so it was a bit embarrassing that I suggested the restaurant and it was such a poor experience, especially the food.Special Features:
- basement what?mallratsDined on 8/24/2014we had reservations at 5pm which we arrived on time for. we were seated in the basement in the wine cellar. I was disappointed, but didn't complain because it was restaurant week. another table was to be seated behind us, but they complained so they were taken upstairs. I heard the hostess say something about upstairs being for people who had reservations for a long time. we had ours for almost 2 months. upon leaving were saw that half the restaurant upstairs was open. I was was very disappointed because the upstairs is so cool and really wanted to be there in the plush seats not on hard chairs in the basement. sad when you pay near $100 for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the atmospherewbcalvaDined on 8/24/2014Love the atmosphere Did not care for the food or the service. Service was very slow and the food was cold. Paid the bill $$$$, Left hungry, Stopped and ate again somewhere else
- BeautifulOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014We went for Sunday brunch at 10 am and absolutely loved it! Everything about our experience was enjoyable, relaxing, delicious, and intimate.Special Features:
- Fried starchFitfoodieDined on 8/23/2014The restaurant itself is beautiful. The service is slow. The food was fried and very salty.Special Features:
- The kitchen loves foodBeastlyDined on 8/17/2014There have been many times I've found myself staring down the barrel of a pricey menu praying the chefs love food and are not just in love with being chefs. Often, I am disappointed. Beatrice and Woodsley was not one of these times. We started our meal with the crawfish beignets: Sweet, savory, great balance (thought a little more spice wouldn't have hurt). For an entree, I had Billy the burger while my girlfriend had the sweet-pea tortellini. The burger was hearty and the accompany of beets chips made it memorable. The sweet-pea tortellini was a bit shocking in terms of portion (about five small tortellinis), though delicious. The decor is beautiful; like being a tree house, and washing your hands is, well... an experience. You'll see.Special Features:
- Creative and fantasticOutstandinDined on 8/17/2014The coolest decor of any restaurant in Denver. The food is extremely creative as are the cocktails. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Denver.Special Features:
- Special Occaision Specialness!KrisneenerDined on 8/16/2014I brought my husband here for brunch to celebrate our 6th anniversary. It was a great place to have special dishes we normally wouldn't have. For an out of towner, the place was a little hard to find even on Broadway! But once inside, the place was full of WONDERMENT! Loved the decor! A little less romantic than I thought with the open floor plan type seating. Food was great! We had and I'd suggest the crawfish beignets, watermelon/beat salad, biscuits & sage gravy. Bloody Mary was excellent as was the Americano coffee. Dessert was tasty too! Creme brûlée and banana cream pie. They comped one of the desserts for anniversary celebration! Thank you! All in all we loved it and will return again to celebrate special happenings!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Review is my personal opinionFood4ChrisDined on 8/15/2014First let me tell you that this review is my personal opinion. Just because this review is not favorable does not mean you should let this change your decision on trying out this restaurant ...Who knows , you may fall in love with it . "The ambiance is nice but that's about all this restaurant has to offer for me .They have more drinks than food items.I feel like there wasn't enough options to choose from. The food tastes good not great but good. Be prepared that the portions are very small .Don't go here if you are starving. By the way our server was excellent and helped us make great choices throughout the meal. PRINT NEW MENUS!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressive!FrenchieDined on 8/14/2014Beatrice & Woodsley is always a hit! Every dish was impressive, but the melt-in-your-mouth catfish stole the show this time. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/13/2014Interior scenery, service, and distinctive food. Small plates are tasty and not overly fillingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/11/2014Really enjoyed the ambiance and whole feel of the restaurant. Food was great!Special Features:
- Never disappointedabreVIPDined on 8/8/2014Every time I come here I have a great experience, whether it is dinner, brunch or an after work drink at the bar. Admittedly, their beer list is rather limited, but if you can do with wine or a mixed drink then have no fear. Very unique setting in the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/3/2014Beatrice and Woodsley usually knocks my socks off. This visit, however, was just okay. It wasn't bad. The food was good - not great - but good. The service was okay, but again not great. It was a pleasant experience, but not quite the caliber we expected. The biscuits and gravy were good, not great; the server didn't know the difference between herbal tea and black tea; the roobois tea was served in a French Press coffee maker, which meant the last of it was very strong and bitter; the Tea Thyme cocktail, however, was great. Otherwise, it was a mediocre experience. Again, nothing was terrible; but we are still likely to pick a different spot for the next celebratory meal.
- Awesome!PBandJDined on 8/2/2014B and W was an awesome place to go for a special occasion or if your just looking for some good food! Cocktails and Wine list was awesome, the service was fast but not annoying - waiters knew exactly what they where doing and made sure you where satisfied with everything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretentiousness at a new level24HourHappyHourDined on 8/2/2014Possibly the most entertaining part of the meal was watching people come out of the restroom and try to wash their hands in the single most pretentious sink and faucet on earth. It was a 50/50 chance if they'd succeed with this act of basic hygiene. And yes, the sink is on display for you in the dining room, separated by a sheet of glass. The place felt like a cavern of the dead, and the food would have been best served to those who had no taste buds. To be fair, the goetta was very tasty, but it was smothered in this overly-dijoned hollandaise-wannabe and then topped with poached eggs replete with uncooked, runny whites. The "tiny omelette"= 1 scrambled egg & 1 leaf of unseasoned spinach.The worst place we've ever been for breakfast.
- Skip itagigemDined on 8/1/2014The food was poorly seasoned, the drinks had a bitter or sour taste. The wait staff was inconsistent and the portions were inconsistent with the prices!
- Perfect for drinks with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/30/2014Recently visited B&W for a girls night and it is perfect be use you sit around a table so easy to socialize. It was a rainy night and I was surprised how packed the bar and tables were. Awesome ambiance!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My kind of restaurant!!!FitforFoodieDined on 7/27/2014This restaurant is small and intimate, quiet, well-decorated, and GREAT FOOD!!! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Beatrice & Woodsley has moved to the top of my "we must go back to ....." list!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decor worth the visitDebboDined on 7/26/2014Loved the fact that they had a dairy-free menu. Decor was unique and fun. Disappointed with the food...little to no veggies served with meal. Expected more from a farm-to-table restaurant. Food was very ordinary.Special Features:
- Romantic dinnerrocksDined on 7/25/2014I was searching for a restaurant good for a special birthday dinner in downtown Denver. Beatrice & Woodsley is a great place to treat someone special for a special occasion. This place will not disappoint! The decor and ambiance was amazing. The service was friendly and impeccable. The food was great. Lastly, the wine selection was plentiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor Response to Hair in FoodLoyalcustDined on 7/19/2014We love going here for brunch and always have a nice time. This last time though fell short due to poor management response to hair in our food. There was a hair in our appetizer. When we told our waiter his reaction was annoying. He didn't know how to react. We had to ask him to bring us a new one and he actually said "I might have to charge you for the second one, I will ask my manager." Our waiter made it feel like it was our fault that there was a hair. As a manager, after hearing there was a hair in your customer's food, you need to go over to the table and personally apologize. Also this item should be comped from the check all together! As loyal customers it was very disappointing to be treated this way.Special Features:
- Excellent !AlizzzyDined on 7/15/2014My fiancé and I chose to celebrate our anniversary at Beatrice and woodsleys because it was listed on the top 10 romantic restaurants for denver. It definitely lived up to the hype and exceeded our expectations. We had an excellent time and enjoyed the best meal. Thank you !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- our way or the highwayOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 7/11/2014We were in the mood for a lots of tastes, so we asked if we told the chef what looked good could he make a portion of small plates for 4 to share. "no". Can you split an entre "no". The waiter was apologetic that the chef refused any request. Food was good as usual but the evening could have been much better if the chef were willing to share his/her skill in a more flexible manner.Special Features:
- FrenchieDined on 7/9/2014The food was all wonderful, but two dishes really impressed - and they were both daily specials, so I'm downright devastated that I won't be able to have them again and again! The Daily Restorative, a chilled corn and apple soup, was a unique surprise. At our wonderful server's suggestion, I had an ahi tuna dish and please understand that I don't use this compliment lightly - it very well might have been the best thing I have ever eaten. It was breathtaking to look at on the plate, too. Our only complaint was that we were seated only a few feet from another party that was VERY loudly having a VERY offensive discussion that included with profanity and racial slurs. I wish the staff had asked the other party to quiet down or even leave.Special Features:
- Beautiful Brunch spotfortheluvoffoodDined on 7/6/2014My friend and i took our mother's here to have brunch. It was just trendy enough for us to enjoy and not to annoy our mothers. A plus is that it's a great brunch spot that takes reservations.Special Features:

Triveni Digital has announced that 12Stone™ Church is using the Ensignia™ digital signage system to distribute targeted audio and video content throughout its new campus in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Triveni Digital's turnkey digital signage solution, provided through dB Audio & Video, enables 12Stone to deliver high-quality live video feeds, prepared programs and event promotions, graphics, and informative ticker content to specific zones across multiple worship areas.
"Triveni Digital's Ensignia system proved to be a great fit for 12Stone, providing the church with an efficient, straightforward solution for the delivery of dynamic communications," says Ronnie Stanford, who is both a member of the congregation and a systems advisor at dB Audio & Video. "With templates already in place, we can load and update content very quickly—typically in just 15 to 30 minutes each week. This ability to communicate clear, compelling messages is invaluable in relating our purpose and vision, as well as in informing church members and visitors about coming events. We've been very pleased with how well Ensignia has performed in meeting this vital function."
The new Highway 20 Campus of 12Stone Church features five worship environments: a 2,600-seat worship center for the adults, a 300-seat high school worship center, a 200-seat middle school worship center, and two additional worship centers for younger children. The church has installed three channels, or zones, to enable delivery of live video or prepackaged content specific to different areas of the church, depending on how that space is being used at any given time and by whom.
As 12Stone visitors walk around the semicircle that encloses the building's central atrium, they pass through each of these zones. A total of 10 displays are being used for digital signage distribution. The installation includes two displays near the middle school worship area, and three more situated next to the coffee bar adjacent to the high school and college worship area, which is used for live simulcasts of Sunday services. On the second floor, two additional displays are located above the entrances to the main worship center, one more outside the elementary worship area, and one each in the green room and nursing mom's room, used primarily to provide a live feed of services.
Ensignia digital signage systems provide reliable distribution of content with a low per-screen cost of deployment. Triveni Digital's expertise and experience in the broadcast market ensures the quality of video delivery, and the integration of LG Electronics display screens with integrated controllers, simplifies installation and maintenance while reducing footprint requirements. Content can range from simple text and still images to full-motion video, with or without audio. An easy-to-use scheduling system makes it easy to keep digital signage content up to date."The 12Stone installation is a wonderful example of how digital signage can enhance the worship setting," notes Ralph Bachofen, senior director, product management and marketing at Triveni Digital. "The presence of well-placed digital signage displays allows any visitor who enters the new facility to be drawn immediately into the vision and life of the church."

text: How to Make Homemade Spice Blends A Spice Expert's Steps For Making Homemade Spice Blends by Anna Monette Roberts 9/06/12 0 Reactions 20 Shares Print 2 5 11 2 0 Even some seasoned cooks shy away from using unfamiliar spices, but there's nothing to fear about fresh, high-quality spices, which are nothing like the stale, powdery stuff on supermarket shelves. Spice expert Lior Lev Sercarz, owner of La Boîte, a spice shop in New York City, has dedicated his life to reintroducing home cooks to spice blends and the infinite ways they can amplify the flavor of foods. Beyond his duties at the store, Lior is part of the Lean Cuisine Culinary Roundtable, a group of chefs who gather quarterly to inspire new flavors for Lean Cuisine products. The team recently met at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone to discuss their expertise with food writers, and Lior showcased tips and tricks on developing unforgettable spice blends at home. Unlike the La Boîte product line, which features carefully crafted blends of the highest quality spices from around the world, Lior's demo at the CIA kitchen was a casual affair. It was less about the spices origin and the exact measurements of each spice and more about learning the basics of whole spices and the method of creating a flavorful, homemade blend. If you're interested in becoming a mad spice scientist, Lior offers helpful tips for making a successful, spice-blending experiment. Setting Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lior gathered over a dozen whole spices to show us. Having everything at hand made it easy to touch and smell each spice. He recommends buying spices whole, because they retain more of their essential oils, amplifying each spice's distinct perfume and flavor. Using whole spices also makes it easier to toast and grind the spices to their desired consistency. 1 / 8 Natural Dye What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lior highlighted annatto seeds, an unusual but useful ingredient. Sometimes spices, when blended, look dull and brown. A simple solution is using annatto seeds. When ground, the seeds naturally dye the spice blends an earthy red color. 2 / 8 Blending Spices What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lior assimilated spice blending to creating a guest list for a party. You should be careful who you invite, because you don't want one spice to overpower all the others. It's all about balance, so that each of the spices "personalities" opens up to each other. In our blend, we added clove, allspice, annato seeds, mustard, cardamon, anise, cinnamon (a powerful spice that should be used sparingly), celery seed (a natural source of sodium), and caraway seeds. It seemed as if there was no "wrong" spice to add. However, those new to spices can always start by experimenting with the spices used in traditional spice blends to make homemade Chinese five-spice or garam masala. 3 / 8 Toasting Until Fragrant What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Always toast your spices. Toasting releases the natural oils of the spices and sanitizes them. As Lior pointed out, you never know how many hands touched the spices before they made it to your jar. The easiest way to toast spices is by placing them on a sauté pan over medium heat. Flip the spices occasionally until they become fragrant, a sign that they are fully toasted. Then immediately remove them from the heat. 4 / 8 Prevent Carryover Cooking What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Transfer the toasted spices to a separate bowl to prevent carryover cooking, and allow them to cool before grinding them. Notice how much darker and richer the color became after toasting the spices. The scent filled the entire kitchen too. 6 / 8 Grinding the Spices What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alice Waters may swear by a mortar and pestle, but Lior's absolute favorite way to grind spices is using a Krups Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder ($20). Since he didn't have one on hand, he used a Vitamix blender ($449), which tore through the spices in no time. 6 / 8 Different Consistencies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With some practice, Lior says you can start to achieve different grinding consistencies. According to Lior, the flavors of spices develop as you chew them, so sometimes a rougher consistency is more appropriate than a powdery one. 7 / 8 Finished Blend What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The scent of the whole spices prior to toasting was muted and musty; however, they opened up and filled the room once toasted and ground. Now that the spice blend is made, how should it be used? Lior says almost anything goes: salad dressing, baked chicken or fish, meatballs, stews, or even sprinkled on fruit. 8 / 8 2 5 11 2 0 Read More Cooking How-toLior Lev SercarzCooking BasicsKitchen TechniquesSpices Cooking Basics From Genoa to Nduja: Your Salami Primer 1 day ago This Watermelon Shark Will Make Your Jaw Drop 3 days ago How to Peel Tomatoes, in Pictures 5 days ago A Surefire Way to Determine How Much Heat a Jalapeño Is Packing 6 days ago Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino 6 days ago The Only Way to Know When Grilled Meat Is Done 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Bob is a working-class angel ordered by God himself to go and clean up the putrid, disgusting, sleazy, and infested world of the future. He has been given the power of possesion so that he can sneak up on any person, animal or genetically engineered being and leap right into their souls!
With your help, Bob can then use their bodies, their weapons, or even their bare hands to strangle, cripple, impale, and incinerate the cities of sinners sent to stop you from finding Satan himself. Hiding in their souls, Bob can use these sinners' bodies against their will as armor (to take pain for him), or he can use them for camouflage (to hide inside them) and pretend to be just another twisted citizen in the Messiah world...

Posted on 2009-09-07 19:29:55 bypduke:
I'll just start this right off by saying I got this as part of the anniversary special, so I'm just thankful I technically got it for free.
Where to begin? This game is very intriguing in concept. Control an adorable little cherub, run around possessing people and generally cause mayhem. It interested me back in 2000 but at that time I didn't have a computer that could meet itsread more specs. Fast forward to today and given that it's a Win32 app it should run like a dream on XP SP3, right?
Forgive me Father, for I used Thy name in vain, repeatedly, to make it through this sloppily coded mess of a game. Before we even get into gameplay let's cover the technical side of things, which is what you should pay the most attention to before you decide whether or not to purchase this game. Take a gander at the community forum for Messiah here on gog.com. Notice that EVERY SINGLE POST is related to problems with running the game. Corrupted graphics, audio problems, crashes. It's a veritable Wheel of Miserable Fortune when you load this up. The first thing that happens when you run Messiah is you are met with a little box asking what resolution you wish to run in. Your options are 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 960, and 1280 x 1024. When you get into the game's menu you'll notice there are far more options available for resolution, and even color depth. Pay no heed to them, for they are merely apparitions of Satan designed to make you lose faith in the Lord. You cannot, you WILL not change your resolution or color depth in-game. Period. You are doomed to the wasteland of one of those 4 resolutions and 16 bit color depth.
On the audio side of things, When I first started playing my menu screen was making atrocious noises and being extremely unresponsive. Eventually I guessed that the game was disagreeing with Dolby Digital Live, which it was, and turned it off. After that my only big audio problems came during the credits sequence, with the music track stuttering for the entirety.
When you get into the game you will notice the polygon count of all the character models fluctuating constantly, from PSOne-quality models to slightly-higher-polycount-PSOne models. This was touted as a super-advanced way-ahead-of-its-time from-the-FUTURE ability of the game's engine to dynamically scale to any computer's rendering abilities to keep the framerate up. As I recall, in interviews the developers stated that on fast enough computers the models would always stay at the highest polygon count. Well, here we are ten years later, running on a GTS 250 and the characters still constantly spaz from low-poly to lower-poly and back. So much for that.
Going back and sifting through old press of the game it does appear that Messiah was always intended to be ported to console platforms. I think it could have turned out swell on the Dreamcast, as the controls are a natural fit for a gamepad and the game might have actually run relatively glitch-free without the albatross of developing for multiple hardware configurations. Seriously Shiny, if your game is mired in development hell for 4 years, all the while being hyped beyond belief, finally sees release and STILL doesn't run right, that's a hint that you need to stick to consoles. Go play with your crayons and let the adults make games for computers.
So, the game itself. The concept is original and sound. In execution it ends up, on the whole, dull and repetitive. You will spend most of the game jumping from one soldier/scientist/worker to another, until you can go no further and have to possess someone else, with very little difference in gameplay to break up this routine. Occasionally you have to abandon human hosts entirely and make your way through Mario-esque platform jumping sequences as the cherub. These are all bland, run-of-the-mill exercises in monotony that only serve to test your attention span. Combat is a joke. When you arm a weapon an auto lock-on takes effect which will aim directly at the chest of any enemies in front of you. Unfortunately the enemies seem to benefit from this as well and will always kill you faster, at least on Messiah mode. If you want to actually aim for headshots you have to stand still and go into first person zoom, where you can strafe very slowly for a second or two until you die.
It seems Shiny just wanted to make their cute little game, blatantly marketed to teenagers with a maturity deficit, where you play as a cherub and possess people, with a super-1337 tightened-up-the-grafx engine (ha. ha.) so there'd be lots of pretty screenshots to sell the game on, and tacked on all the actual gameplay mechanics as an afterthought while they speculated on which console they would get to farm out development of a port to first and watch the money roll in. Nice try.
Is is regretful that this game had to be my first experience with gog.com. I did get three others during the special, so hopefully they will suffice to wipe the bad taste from my mouth. Unfortunately two of those games are also developed by Shiny so things are looking grim already...
The two star rating is due only to the originality of the concept itself (to say nothing of the implementation), and some extremely sparse moments of actual humor. Still not enough to make up for the hours I spent playing through this crashy, buggy mess. If I hadn't gotten it for free I'd be asking for a refund. Please look elsewhere on gog.com for classic titles that are worth your time and money (I hear those Fallout games are something special). Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here.
I'll end by offering up a second opinion, with accompanying screenshot documentation.

I bought it when it first came out in 2000 (I still have the original copy in its large box and manual!). The game left me a bit disappointed because of the ending but overall the experience was great. It's not a perfect game because a couple of flaws. The story's great, I'm pretty impressed with the graphics, especially on models. They look incredible (be sure to turn the frameread more desire to lowest in video option, you'll get better overall graphics especially on models, you won't lose the performance) and the environments are impressive, well mostly but it's still huge and varied, especially later in the game. The camera work isn't always perfect. The control can be a bit awkward due to lack of tutorials. The puzzles can be uninspired. If you're willing to bypass some flaws and appreciate the piece of art by Shiny, you'll enjoy this underrated game. Possessing bodies never get old. Highly recommended.
(Sorry for some grammar errors, English is my second language)

I want to give this game a 5, but it really deserves a 3.5. The game is fun and challenging. There are some really unique and memorable moments in the game, but there really aren't enough of them overall and there are some frustrating and annoying points as well. The game is fun and definitely worth the GoG price.

The nation's largest electric utility is getting a new look. The new logo - seen attached to this story - was developed internally on the heels of Duke Energy's merger with Progress Energy in July 2012. Duke Energy customers will see a new logo starting Monday, March 25. Company officials expect a complete logo change out in the next few months. "Customers will start seeing the logo soon, but it will take a number of months for the rollout to be complete," said Ginny Mackin, Duke Energy vice president and chief communications officer. "In the end, we'll have one logo to symbolize one unified company – representing the largest electric utility in the nation."On March 25, Duke Energy will begin rolling out the logo on company signs, vehicles and other locations in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, as well as those areas of North Carolina and South Carolina served by legacy Duke Energy prior to the merger.Beginning April 29, the company will begin rolling out the logo in Florida, as well as those areas of North Carolina and South Carolina served by legacy Progress Energy before the merger.Also in April, two former Progress Energy utilities will change names. Progress Energy Florida will adopt the Duke Energy name. Progress Energy Carolinas will become Duke Energy Progress.To minimize customer confusion, Duke Energy Progress will use a modified version of the new logo that includes the word "Progress" – to differentiate it from Duke Energy Carolinas, which serves customers in different areas of North Carolina and South Carolina.Copyright 2013 WBTV.
