The final moments of today's match at the Mestalla - the minutes where Schalke was supposed to try and bleed out the match and take a 1-1 draw back to Gelsenkirchen - Schalke nearly stole a second goal. First it was Raúl, as regulation time ran out, taking advantage of a bad give away by Tino Costa, nearly chipping Vicente Guaiti from the far left. Next it was Hao Junmin, recently on for Klass-Jan Huntelaar (as Felix Magath's third, time wasting substitute) who burst through the midfield with the ball, pulling up at the edge of the area for a shot that forces Guaiti to lay-out to his right. Where Valencia had made changes intent on chasing the match, it was Schalke that looking more like the winning side.
Late in the match, however, Schalke got some bad news. Left back Lukas Schmitz, booked very early in the match, saw a second yellow, apparently for some language directed at am opponent. Schmitz will now miss the return leg in Germany.
With the last touches of the match, Aritz Aduriz put a dead ball cross to Manuel Neuer's far corner, with some suspect Schalke defending giving Valencia supporters reason to think their side could improbably salvage a win in stoppage time.
But it wasn't meant to be, leaving the record-breaking goal from Raúl to be the match's decisive score. With that 64th minute tally, Raúl not only became the most prolific scorer in European competition but also reversed an hour of Valencia control. With the equalizer, Schalke has an all-important road goal, sending the match back to the Veltins-Arena with the German club holding the advantage.

Yet to be Announced 32GB Nexus 7 Lands on Craigslist for $450
1Place4Tech has full story
As I was looking to unload a few of my electronics to add some cash to my new iPad Mini fund. I stumbled across this listing right here on the New York section of Craigslist asking $450 for a yet to be released Nexus 7 32GB tablet.
Ad listing excerpt:
SELLING A BRAND NEW, yet unreleased, Nexus 7 32GB tablet. The box and original packaging are all there.
This tablet is not on sale on any store yet. This is an opportunity to get hands on the latest devise from Google, which is sure to be on short supply when released.
As you can see from the source link, the seller included a few images, but the most important image, seen below, features the storage setting option in Android. After enhancing the image best to our abilities, it appears that the device is indeed a 32GB model with about 27GB of storage available.

I am getting very excited to have the season just be right around the corner. I wan to bask in the glow of this coming season and forgot about this off season. I got my tickets in the mail to take my daughter to her first game. This got me thinking about what my top memories of seeing the Lions live.
Here are my top three moments...
3. Barry Sanders first game. It was my first time in the Silverdome. I was 12 years old. I can close my eyes and still here the chants for Barry! Barry! I had no idea why I was chanting, but that is when I became a Lions fan.
2. Monday Night win Vs Bears. This was the loudest I have ever heard anything. The noise felt like a wall. I was with my Dad and I could not even hear him. I get goosebumps just thinking about. It felt like we were part of the reason why they won.
1. Playoff win vs Dallas. I had terrible seats and some one spilled beer on me and I was surrounded by Cowboy fans. Best game ever! Eric Kramer was on fire and the run by Barry to put the dagger in the hearts of the Cowboys. I sang the "Na Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey goodbye" song at the top of my lungs as Cowboy fans did the walk of shame.
What are your favorite moments?


text: Thank you Mr. Jones-Drew. I honestly don't know how you do it. How can you run with such dedication and conviction every time you get the ball? You see the same bumbling offense that surrounds you that the rest of us do. How can that not get to you? Watching you fight for every yard and absorb the punishment you do would be enough to inspire anyone, whatever the circumstances. But, watching you do this on a team that gives you no help whatsoever and is going nowhere just amazes me and fills me with pride. You are one hell of a man and an example to follow in any pursuit. That's why, as a Jaguar fan, I am ashamed of the effort the rest of this organization has put forth. You, and to a lesser extent your defensive teammates, deserve so much more. So, from this Jag fan at least, let me say thank you so very much... and I'm so sorry.

Haloti Ngata has left the field in Baltimore, and is currently in the locker room with a sprained knee. There is no update on his status for the remainder of Sunday's game.
The Ravens have been struggling to stop the Dallas Cowboys' run game, as Felix Jones already has a touchdown, and the Cowboys' RBs are averaging just under 9 yards per carry. Should Ngata miss the remainder of the game it will further hurt an already struggling unit.
Baltimore's replacement is Bryan Hall, a 24-year-old rookie out of Arkansas State, who is yet to register a statistic this season. This is Hardly reassuring for a defense that leans on Ngata up front as much as they do Ray Lewis in the linebacking corps, or Ed Reed in the secondary.
This is the second injury the Ravens' defense has sustained today, after Ladarius Webb left Sunday's game earlier-- also with a sprained knee. Baltimore's offense is keeping the game close but, without Webb and now Ngata, they are a vulnerable team.

D.C. Police have arrested a convicted sex offender and charged him with raping a mentally challenged teenager in an alley near the Verizon Center. The teen had been reported missing after getting onto the Metro and failing to arrive at her destination.
The charging documents filed in the case say the 19 year old autistic victim suffers from a variety of mental and physical challenges and was incapable of defending herself against a stranger's advances.
She was missing for the better part of the day before turning up at a Prince George's County Metro Station.
According to a court affidavit, on Sunday November 25th a 19 year old girl diagnosed with autism got on the Metro at the Greenbelt station and was supposed to go to her mother's job site. Instead, the 19 year old decided she wanted to see the museums and went downtown.
Although it's unclear what Metro station she used to get off the train, police say she turned up at the gallery place McDonald's where she encountered a convicted sex offender named George Cocroft.
FOX 5 found Cocroft in the Sex Offender Registry book at the Second District Police Station in northwest.
His picture and offense are not in the on-line registry but that's another story.
His address is listed as the 400 block of Second Street NW which is commonly known as the Second and D Street Homeless Shelter.
The court affidavit says the victim told police she trusted the defendant and thought he was friendly and a nice person.
According to the court affidavit the teenager says George Cocroft took her by the hand and led her into a back alley in the 600 block of H Street NW where she says she was sexually assaulted.
The same court affidavit says Cocroft admitted having sex with the girl but he said it was consensual.
Cocroft also told police he knew the teen was (in his words) "not all there" and was a person that people take advantage of.
Court documents show Cocroft was ordered to register as a Class B Sex Offender after pleading guilty to third degree sex abuse in 2007.
But the sex offender registry lists him as a Class C Offender, the least serious classification.
Cocroft is currently locked up and undergoing a mental evaluation.
One other note, if you tried to find George Cocroft in the On-Line Sex Offender Registry or if you searched for all sex offenders living near the Second and D Street Shelter, Cocroft's name wouldn't come up.
That's because by law the Class C offenders are only listed off line--in books kept at the seven D.C. Police stations.
Why Cocroft is listed as a C Offender when the court says he is a B is still unclear.

Problems writing own Module / no call to save()?
27 January 2009 at 8:19am
Hi guys,
I'm very new to silverstripe but I'm trying to code some modules for the CMS because I want to use it for the new page of my hockey club. I have to develop some kind of team management where editors can manage their teams, and only that (if only granted those rights). Because of that I decided to code an independant module for it.
My problem at the moment is, that I just can't figure out, why I can't save my teaminfo.

When Tinsley Mortimer dresses herself up in bows and pastels, we usually scratch our heads and wonder what went wrong. Most of the time we try to relax and reassure ourselves that it's simply a difference in taste that causes Ms. Mortimer to dress the way she does.
Truth be told, we're rarely impressed with what the socialite wears on the red carpet. It's typically some combination of Lily Pulitzer meets St. Johns with a touch of a glitter pen.
For the AAFA 32nd American Image Awards, Tinsley continued her fashion faux pas streak with a Atelier Versace Fall 2009 white strapless cocktail dress. The upper bodice has a three-dimensional rose detail which continues down to her waist with it's silver accent. Tinsley Is a tiny girl, but the large detailing proves unflattering. That, paired with a shimmery clutch and 8th grade hairstyle, gives Tinsley a good case of Styleitis.
At an event centered around "image," we're surprised Mortimer didn't take more time pondering what to wear; and if she did, then we recommend she use some of her hard earned reality television money to get herself a good (or better) stylist. Carrie Bradshaw circa 1998 is not a good look, honey.

Shotgun Joe's advice: Don't take it
This week, Biden shared advice he gave to his wife. "I said, 'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. You don't need an AR-15 - it's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!"
The man put in charge of the Obama administration's gun-control initiative recommends firing two warning blasts from a double-barreled shotgun. What if the intruder is not scared away? You'd better be quick at reloading. Also, how is public safety improved by encouraging people to fire shotguns off the balcony instead of taking aim (whether firing or not) directly at intruders?
The worst part of this advice, though, is that yet again the administration ignores the reason we have a Second Amendment. It is not for sport or self-defense. Those are excellent uses for weapons kept legally under the Second Amendment. But the amendment exists because weapons are "necessary to the security of a free state." Funny how the administration never brings that up.

About the Department
African American and African Studies at The Ohio State University is a proud product of the 1960's Black freedom movement. Originally established as an academic division in October 1969 as Black Studies, it achieved formal department status in 1972 and today enjoys the reputation of being one of the strongest African American and African Studies programs in the nation. The primary mission of the department is to stimulate teaching and research about the Black experience in the United States, Africa and throughout the African Diaspora, and to encourage students and others to assess various strategies for advancing human progress through the examination of the global struggle for Black freedom.
The Department offers courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and a Ph.D. in African American and African Studies. Our comprehensive multidisciplinary curriculum includes courses in literature, music, history, psychology, sociology, political science, community development and the most extensive offering of African languages (Swahili, Zulu, Twi, Somali and Yoruba) found at any university in the U.S. Our students have an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the black experience from a range of perspectives, which include opportunities to participate in Study Abroad programs to South Africa, Tanzania and Ghana. Our courses are taught by more than 18 full-time faculty members who each hold the doctoral degree in their respective disciplines.
The African American and African Studies Department also has a Community Extension Center which serves as both our outreach arm into the large Black community in the city of Columbus as well as a significant resource for faculty and student research and community engagement. For more than twenty years, the Department has also been the home of Research in African Literatures, one of the most prestigious journals in African Studies. In 2012 we introduced a second journal, Spectrum: a Journal on Black Men. As a part of the Diversity and Identity Studies project at The Ohio State University, our courses and faculty research reflect our longstanding interest in diversity and identity studies.

Mlbtraderumors.com is reporting that the Kahlil Greene trade to the cardinals is finalized. The Padres exec. and Kevin Towers main focus now is to acquire a replacement SS, and it will most likely happen via trade. Who has the upper hand now. i have always admired the Braves Patience and diligence. They didn't jump and trade away the farm system, but instead they waited for the padres to basically twist themselves into a bind. We can almost do a straight trade Escobar for Peavy naw j/k life is not that sweet but the package will be way less then what it was a month ago.

I have tried to use this website approx 10 times today and have experienced problems.
When I attempt to save a photo to my desktop my Internet Safari crashes. The "Save As" option on Pixlr-O-Matic does not appear to be functioning properly today.
I used the site two weeks ago without any issues.

PixlMatic Not Saving Photos
This topic is no longer open for comments or replies.
Eric Suesz (Community Manager) June 24, 2013 20:13Appreciate the report, Shannon. I will do some testing and see if there are any issues with Safari. Are you on a Mac? It's offered for Windows, but most people use it on a Mac. Just want to try and reproduce the same thing.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I am on a Mac.
Eric Suesz (Community Manager) June 24, 2013 20:49I've been testing on my Mac, and I don't seem to have the same issue. One of the first things I generally check is to see if the Flash player is current. Many of our apps run on Flash. Check here to see if you're running the most recent version and you can always reinstall even if you do. That's usually the first step at troubleshooting.
When you say "Save As" isn't functioning, do you have any other info you can share with me? I am able to pull up the dialog that lets me choose where to save:
Hi Eric,
I double checked that my Flash Player is up to date, but still have not been able to save a photo.
I am getting stuck at the point where I try to save the photo. I click the "save to computer" button and then enter a name for the file. At this point, there is a long delay and the screen turns gray.
I've restarted my computer, but still no luck.
Eric Suesz (Community Manager) June 26, 2013 16:27Is there a .jpg extension on your file when you save? And to confirm, this is the browser-based version and not the downloadable version of Pixlr-o-matic, correct?
Correct, I'm using the browser based version of Pixlr-o-matic.
I've tried to save the file two ways: (1) when I am prompted to enter a file name I enter a name and click the "save" button (2) I enter a name and add ".jpg" to the end of the name.
Neither of these has been successful. Has something changed with the site? As I mentioned, I was able to save photos with no issues several weeks ago.
Eric Suesz (Community Manager) June 26, 2013 17:04It's definitely weird and I want to get to the bottom of it. I'm not quite able to reproduce the same thing. To be clear, you are able to see where you are saving these files to your computer (my screenshot above), but the files don't end up saving there? Like on your desktop? Or you never see the dialog that lets you choose where to save your file?
I get stuck before I reach your screen shot (it freezes up right after I type the file name...and doesn't allow me to move to the point where I can select the location to save the file)
Hi Eric,
The browser version of PixlrMatic still won't allow me to save photos. Do you have any recommendations?
Eric Suesz (Community Manager) June 30, 2013 01:05I just don't experience the same thing and haven't been able to reproduce this same thing. We did have a bug this past week, but we squared that away, so I am not sure what to tell you except to maybe try a different browser. I just don't have any other reports and can't reproduce in any way, so it could be something that is only happening to you. I can't be certain without more to go on.
Happen the same thing on my mac.

Now that the 2012 season is officially over, it is time to shine the focus on the potential offseason. With Free Agency starting on March 12, 2013 at 4pm EST and the draft April 23-25, you look at what the Patriots "need" in order to capture another title. Ultimately, the game football generally (99.9% since there is no 100% in real life) favors the teams that executes better for the duration of the game.
The top 5 positions that could use more depth on the Patriots include
2013 Patriots Mock Draft 1st (29)- NT John Jenkins (Alabama) 6'4" 359, 5.45 40-time, 33 1/8" arms, 9 1/2" hands (proj. rd 1-2) Jenkins won't offer much as a pass rushing DT, but cannot be overlooked as a first round pick. He fits more into the mold of the Ted Washington and Vince Wilfork type of DT who clog the middle of the line of scrimmage and almost always requires two offensive lineman to block. Jenkins has the athleticism to play in both a 3 and 4 man front as the nose, and could be the right replacement for perennial All-Pro Nose Vince Wilfork. A good showing in the Senior Bowl last week solified his status as a late first round pick and could be out of the Patriots range by April 23rd.
Latest analysis from NFL Draft Scout
1/23/13- 2013 Senior Bowl, Tuesday: The South's most consistently disruptive defensive lineman was also the biggest: Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins. The 6-4, 359-pound Jenkins is simply bigger, stronger and -- as shocking as it sounds -- quicker than virtually any other lineman on the field. His girth and long arms allow him to hold up well at the point of attack against double-teams, something he did with great effectiveness when playing inside or out as part of Georgia's three-man front. Jenkins is proving this week in Mobile, however, that he has the athleticism to also play well in a traditional four-man front, making him a potential top-20 prospect. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
And now to compare other options the Patriots could explore at pick #29 should Jenkins be off the board: DT Kawann Short, C Barrett Jones, CB Jordan Poyer, FS Bacarri Rambo, Slot WR Tavon Austin
2nd (59)- WR Da'Rick Rodgers (Tennessee Tech) 6'2" 206, 4.52 40-time (proj. rd 2-3) Da'Rick Rogers suffered a big fall in 2012, which started by getting kicked off of the University of Tennessee football team. While not a WR who would wow you with great speed, he can make contested catches on the outside. An Anquan Boldin type receiver is what the Patriots "need" more than a track athlete who can run a 4.40. Since the Patriots biggest weapons do their damage between the numbers, an outside WR who can catch the jump ball and back shoulder passes on the outside would provide a good change-up when the opponents flood the middle of the field.
Latest analysis from NFL Draft Scout
12/14/12 - Tennessee Tech wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers will bypass his senior season to enter the NFL Draft. The university announced Rogers' decision Wednesday. Rogers caught 61 passes for 893 yards and 10 touchdowns in his lone season at Tennessee Tech. The 6-foot-3 junior caught 18 passes for 303 yards in a 41-38 double-overtime loss to Southeast Missouri State to set school records in both categories. Rogers had 67 catches for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns for Tennessee in 2011 to earn all-Southeastern Conference honors. He transferred to Tennessee Tech after Tennessee suspended him. Rogers said positive drug tests caused his suspension. - AP Sports
vs. Top Programs in NCAA (2011)
vs. Oregon (2012)
Other options to consider: SS Jonathan Cyprien, CB David Amerson, OLB John Simon, FS TJ McDonald
3rd (91)- SS Duke Williams (Nevada-Reno). 5'11" 200, 4.46 40-time (proj. rd 5-6) Duke Williams will be the overdraft pick that BB makes this year. Although Williams is listed as a "Strong Safety" he profiles more as a ranging type cover free safety than a in-the-box enforcer. His ability to cover a slot WR as well as his tremendous range in the backfield would be appealing traits to the Patriots. In a year where there isn't any top talent at this position headlined by Florida SS Matt Elam, the Patriots take a chance on a player who's team's defense was not very good, while the individual player excelled. It's entirely possible that BB shys away from the SS position because Tavon Wilson looks to be finding his own. Nonetheless, it's always a good idea to bring depth to the secondary, since it's almost assured a rash of injuries will strike the position again. After his performance in the Senior Bowl, which showed his abilities as a very versatile safety, his stock will be going up.
Latest NFL Draft Scout Analysis
01/02/13 - Three former Wolf Pack football players have been invited to work out at the NFL Combine next month. Duke Williams was a second-team All-Mountain West Conference selection this season. He was second on the team with 106 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss. Khalid Wooten was a second team All-Conference selection as a punt returner. He made 53 tackles with 17 passes defended. He also had two interceptions and one defensive touchdown. Both Wooten and Williams will play in the East-West Shrine Game on January 19th.
12/15/13 - PLAYERS TO WATCH: SS Duke Williams is one of the Nevada defense's few playmakers. The senior has 100 tackles, including 5.5 for loss. He's forced three fumbles, recovered two more and has been credited with eight pass breakups. The Wolf Pack had just four interceptions and forced only 15 turnovers in 12 games. Arizona was prone to turnovers (the Wildcats had 25), so Williams should have some chances to make big plays. - The Sports Xchange
Duke Williams Highlights Video
Other options to consider: CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson, ILB Nico Johnson, OT David Quessenberry, OLB Sio Moore, WR Tavarres King
7th (TBD)- WR Marcus Davis (Virginia Tech) 6'3" 230, 4.47 40-time, 33 1/4" arms, 10 1/8" hands (proj. rd 7) This is the Patriots annual steal pick of the draft. Character issues and on field performances has caused this guy's stock to slip. Attitude issues such as lack of run blocking and apathy has led to him being benched by the coaches at Virginia Tech. When you look at this guy from a football standpoint- he has the right tools to be a successful WR. He has good speed that could be effective in the 20-40 yd range, big hands, and good sized arms. For every Megatron there is a Brandon Marshall (An underlooked guy with similar skills but smaller recognition), and this guy could be it.
Latest analysis from NFL Draft Scout
12/28/12 - PLAYERS TO WATCH: WR Marcus Davis is the Hokies' most dangerous offensive weapon, but his inconsistency has hurt the team this season. Davis can stretch a field with his speed and athleticism, but his blocking has been spotty, which is why he has not started the last two games. Virginia Tech needs him at his best against the Scarlet Knights to ensure every element of its offense is clicking. If Davis isn't involved early and often, it could be a long day for the Hokies. - The Sports Xchange
Highlights (game highlights were tough to find as most were 1-play videos): What he can do Big play ability
CBS Strengths and Weaknesses
STRENGTHS: Athletic-looking frame with prototypical length and thickness. Deceptively quick feet and suddenness to evade press at the line. Gets up to speed quickly from a stop. Displays hip flexibility to sink and burst on sharp routes. Quick, active hands at the line to shed the jam and release. Hands catcher who attacks the ball in the air. Locates the ball and adjusts his body to position for the catch. Good timing when asked to high-point the ball. Exhibits suddenness to break and separate on slants at full speed. Displays strong hands to secure high-velocity throws off his frame. Can break down in space after the catch, and make defenders miss.
WEAKNESSES: Lacks aggression and urgency when asked to run block. Isn't always as sharp as he's capable of being on his routes, and will round them off too frequently. Needs to fight for position better and display willingness to get physical with defenders when asked to compete for the ball in the air. Doesn't seem to always be on the same page with his QB - will break routes off or cut in the wrong direction. Occasional concentration lapses - will turn his head upfield before securing the ball and drop the easy one. Needs to become craftier at getting separation by utilizing hesitation, jab-step, etc. Chest-traps the ball too frequently despite possessing soft enough hands to routinely pluck. Doesn't seem to have a second gear to really pull away at the safety level.
COMPARES TO: Stephen Hill, WR, New York Jets - Like Hill, Davis possesses some eye-popping measurables, and will probably rise up draft boards on his pre-draft workouts alone. A close look at game tape, however, shows a receiver who, although tremendously gifted, lacks fundamental consistency and tends to coast at times with his effort. He'll have to convince scouts that he's hungry to improve if he's to go any higher than the fifth round, despite having elite talent.
--Derek Stephens
7th (TBD)- CB Branden Smith (Georgia) 5'10" 168, 4.43 40-time, 30 5/8" arms, 8 3/4" hand (proj rd. 7-FA) Smith provides a special teams CB who would first have to add weight to his 5'10" frame. He has good speed and would likely project as a slot CB as his ceiling. He would not be considered a lock to make the roster at all, and could spend his first year in the NFL on the Practice Squad. Right now he would be considered a project after floundering at Georgia after once being considered a top college recruit
CBS Overview (no NFL Draft Scout analysis available)
Smith was rated a five-star recruit and the No. 1 prospect in Georgia by Scout.com coming out of Atlanta's Washington high school. He was ranked No. 31 in the ESPN 150, and as a senior he caught 32 passes for 1,085 yards while also recording 50 tackles and returning three of 12 kickoffs he handled for touchdowns.
One of the Bulldogs' premier recruits, Smith appeared in 13 games as a true freshman. He recorded 14 tackles with a pair of pass breakups, while also earning the team's Newcomer of the Year award for his special teams play.
Smith started all nine games he appeared in during the 2010 season, recording 17 tackles, four pass break-ups, two interceptions and rushing six times for 46 yards.
He appeared in 14 games in 2011, making seven starts and recording 24 tackles to go with two more interceptions. He also had 13 carries, caught three passes and returned seven kickoffs and nine punts.
Smith continued to fly a bit under the radar as a senior. While he recorded a career-high in tackles, it was only 25. He broke up nine passes, but had no interceptions, forced fumbles or sacks.
Smith does need technique work, and you wonder what he's thinking at times, but from an athleticism standpoint, it's clear Smith has NFL ability.
CBS Strengths and Weaknesses
STRENGTHS: Doesn't look imposing, measuring in at just 5-foot-10 and 168 pounds, but he might have been the best athlete on the defensive squad at the Shrine Game. He has the speed to stay with receivers downfield and the explosive quickness to burst in any direction. Versatile athlete who has seen time in the backfield and as a return man.
WEAKNESSES: Smith does need technique work and makes questionable reads at times. Will have to answer questions about spring 2012 arrest for marijuana possession. Never emerged as a star at Georgia, with a career-high of 25 tackles in 2012, and doesn't general many game-changing plays.
Unfortunately Smith carries no highlights that could be found via a YouTube search
Grade the draft below and offer your critique of what could make it better for next time. If you select the troll option, then I pity you and the terrible team you are rooting for.

The biological term "symbiosis" refers to what economists and politicians usually call a win-win situation: a relationship between two partners which is beneficial to both. The mutualistic association between acacia plants and the ants that live on them is an excellent example: The plants provide food and accommodation in the form of food bodies and nectar as well as hollow thorns which can be used as nests. The ants return this favour by protecting the plants against herbivores. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, have now found that ants also keep harmful leaf pathogens in check.
Researchers, led by McGill biology professor Ehab Abouheif, have found ants that are biological anomalies with supersoldier-like characteristics in unexpected regions. And, more importantly, researchers have discovered they can induce supersoldiers in Pheidole ant species that never had them before.
Together with his doctoral student, Christoph von Beeren, Witte has now shown that silverfish that form close associations with ants do not make the odor compounds themselves. Instead, they steal them directly from their hosts, in this case an Asian species of army ant. Simply by rubbing itself against the surface cuticle of colony members, the silverfish picks up the characteristic mixture of chemicals that identifies the bearer as an inhabitant. This enables the intruder to successfully infiltrate and become socially integrated into the nest.
A common pest in the mainland United States known for its tropical smell now has a tropical habitat to go along with it. Odorous house ants - so called because they tend to invade houses and smell like coconut when smashed - have found their way to Hawaii. And, according to Purdue University entomologist Grzegorz Buczkowski, it doesn't seem as though they have plans to end their vacations.
New research published today in Nature Communications online journal suggests that monogamy and close genetic relationships work together to enhance the cooperative social structure of insects such as bees, wasps and ants. Known as haplodiploid animals because males develop from unfertilised eggs and have half the number of chromosomes that females have, the insect colonies are characterised as having a single queen and multiple drones.

Sixth Circuit Affirms District Court in Ohio Early Voting Case
In the early voting case of Obama for America v. Husted, a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit today issued an opinion affirming the district court's order in favor of the plaintiffs. The district court found unconstitutional an Ohio statute restricting early voting on the Saturday, Sunday, and Monday preceding Election Day. According to a majority of the Sixth Circuit panel, the district court's decision returned discretion to the county boards of elections regarding early voting on these days.

Nov 9, 2011The 2011 COD game is almost identical to the games that came before it, yet millions of casual gamers still run to the midnight release to pick up a copy. Unfortunately one of my friends was one of them and I got the chance to play the most overrated game of the year. As always the single player is a little shorter than the last one, taking me and my friend around 5 hours to complete. The multiplayer is still the same old solo run and gun fest, but this time on rushed and chaotic maps. Not much else to say really, but if you own any Call of Duty game that came out in the last 4 years, you already have this game.… Expand
Nov 8, 2011Disappointing on all fronts. It's a reskin of a 2 year old game with a multiplayer map pack and different singleplayer that's riddled with stupidity and cliches in bulk while still being insanely short
I don't understand how Activision gets away with doing this to people. I understand it's fun to some gamers and they like the series and that's fine, but just throwing money at something because it's fun is selfish and they need to tell Activision with their wallets they're tired of getting ripped off every year.… Expand
Dec 16, 2011Tired game , Tired engine, Same crap gets put out every single year for four years and people flock to toss their cash away, sad really sad. I have played it it IS THE SAME AS MW2. why would you buy it again ?? Activision is laughing all the way to the bank! This is pathetic and should have been released as an expansion pack nothing more!
Nov 10, 2011Activision has once again failed to make their latest COD title stand out. Because, frankly, this is the umpteenth time COD 4 has been repackaged, with little to no innovation. The same broken Multiplayer, the same try-hard 4 hour long story, and soon the same overpriced map packs. It is truly a disgrace, the way Activision keeps confirming their greediness, and lack of interest for their customers. This hasn`t bitten them yet, seeing as a lot of COD-players are very, very young. Too young to stand up and say "I will no longer let myself be milked dry like a cow. I will no longer let this company ruin gaming by repackaging the same game over and over again, therefore being a bad example for the rest". And even when the fans are a bit older, they still have ridiculously low standards, considering they like replaying the same broken game, over and over, paying 60 Dollars every year.
Because of this greediness and laziness, COD MW3 deserves a 0, but I`ll give Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer games 1 point for the effort.… Expand
Nov 10, 2011This game is even more pathetic on Wii which is mainly due to the hardware but it is the same tried and tested copy and paste P.O.S
No matter what format you purchase you will have that de ja vu feeling then you'll blink and see the credits rolling.
Nov 9, 2011Appalled by review scores. Battlefield gets ripped on the fact that they added a singleplayer mode to what is essentially a multiplayer only game, just as an addition to add value to the game, yet Activision gets away with this crap every year. It's all about the money, and they're making a lot of it.
Nov 9, 2011Terrible Terrible Terrible Terrible. Need I say more? This is a 59.99 map pack for MW2 with some bonus campaign content, an over hyped online add on, and garbage multiplayer maps.
Nov 14, 2011I got this game on steam on launch day, hoping it would be better than Black Ops. Biggest mistake I have ever made in buying a game, even worse than buying BO. That game was a mess, and I have deeply regretted buying it, but not more than MW3. I have played MW, MW2, BO, and now MW3 and I can say each game gets worse exponentially. I will never purchase another COD game again.
This game really feels like MW1.5 as there is absolutely nothing new. Graphics are more than 4 years old. Same old boring, predictable story. Multiplayer is exactly the same with new maps. This game could have been a $15 DLC, and even that would be a rip off.
If you guys want a good, quality game, check out The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. There's a game that the developers actually put time into making, about 3 years. Not like each COD game taking less than a year to make, no wonder their quality is so terrible. It's sad that such a piece of junk like MW1.5 can sell millions and even more than games that outclass it like Skyrim. There are just too many mindless, stupid fanboys who enjoy shooting each other with new maps paying a $60 fee every year to do so.
Overall, this game couldn't even last me 2 days as once Skyrim came out I dumped this piece of crap. Hopefully, the COD series dies with this game or they totally reinvent it because it's only going to get worse from here.… Expand
Nov 10, 2011Amazing that CoD can be even worse, The Wii version is absolutely terrible, garbage graphics and controls
It's just and old game with a new skins anyway, use some common sense people..
Nov 10, 2011If you hate your money, and would like to own a steaming pile of **** inside of a small DVD case, then this game is for you! This is a horrible game designed for brainless kids. I guess that's awesome if your target audience will shell out $60 a year for the same game.
Nov 10, 201112 Hours of single payer game play. Holds true to the COD franchise's lack of content from the past 3 installments. Though those 12 hours of gameplay was more compelling than Black Ops, I still feel incredibly cheated out of $60. Online play is no better than Black Ops. Not just graphically, but the levels almost look like the same levels as BO... Laggy servers, gives laggy movements and firing ingame. Then, they try to sweeten us up with their "Elite" service, but only to find out it will cost you ANOTHER $50. Come on Sledgehammer, can we get a reach around when you're giving us the hammer??? I would say avoid this one... But we all bought it sight unseen already.... Oh well.… Expand
Nov 11, 2011Why drop $60 on a game which had hacks and aimbots on the first day and which the developer does nothing to fix? Go to Youtube and lookup "First Ever MW3 Aimbot". Also lookup the number of bots/hacks/cheats for Call of Duty 2 you will see plenty of them that are still active and that the developer has done nothing about. That speaks volumes about this company and its' priorities. It is also sad that they are going to charge you an extra charge for their Elite service when the rankings are already skewed due to aimbots. If I am going to spend $60 on this game I want support that will fix these issues and punish those that it finds cheating. They really dropped the ball on this franchise with this rushed, buggy, hacked piece of junk.… Expand
Nov 11, 2011Every Call of Duty since CoD4 has tried so hard to out-do its predecessor to the point where its made me look upon some of the greatest FPS games ever made, and think they are obselete. It has made me look at games in new ways, and think, "what is this game doing new, and if its not doing anything new, why play it?"
Its horrible to think that I used to play marathon sessions of games like Counter Strike, CoD 4, and Halo 3, and now I dont even want to think about them.… Expand
Nov 15, 2011Given the hardware restrictions for this version of a already dying game, there is really nothing positive I can say at all, not that I had anything positive to say about the re-run re-skinned cash cow anyways.
Nov 10, 2011Horrible the worst game ever
Horrible, terrible, worst, sick, bad
Acitivision is sick, COD died in COD4
this game is a very bad copy and past of COD4
Nov 20, 2011Hello, this review is for Luke Reilly of IGN AU. I want him to know that he is a turd of a human being, and the world would be better served if he spent his time behind a cash register instead of wasting everyone's time with garbage editorials. Oh yeah, this is getting a 0 because it's the worst game ever, even worse than Superman 64.
Nov 10, 2011Two step down from Black Ops in every conceivable way. Graphics are psp-level at best, all guns sound like staplers, framerate drops everywhere, lag shooting. Shot guns are useless now. Want to shoot someone? They had better be standing still or you won't hit them. Want to shoot while turning? Too bad, you can't do that in MW3.
Nov 22, 2011If you wanted to buy a shooter, why would you want it on the Wii? This is no different than the other CoD ports to the Wii, this is poor at best, an abomination at worst.
Nov 8, 2011After paying $60 on this game I went home and put it in my PS3. After a couple hours of gameplay I realized I had been ripped off! I looked in my DVD rack and grabbed a CoD game I bought 2 years ago, it looked the same but had a 2 on it instead of a 3. I then realized it is the same exact game, with a few minor tweaks. Biggest waste of money ever. Yet, there are still trolls on the internet like Destructoid's own Jimmyx Sterling getting paid big bucks to give it high review scores.… Expand
Nov 12, 2011Just a blatant copy paste of their previous release, just like activision loves to do. It gets boring very fast, I've never really understood the hype about this game, I rented it and just found out like many other that it wasn't good at all. I don't even see any improvments from the past games, nothing out of the ordinary and mostly nothing that looked like something original and new. Everything is just the same, they just make these games for money seriously...… Expand
Nov 22, 2011okay, i'm just gonna say, this is a terrible game. not because of the stupid reason that it's "a repackaged mw2". although it kinda is, it's also just not fun at all. online got boring after 1 hour, campaign wasnt very enjoyable, and the only high point of the game is spec ops. the survival mode is somewhat fun which is why i'm giving it a 1. do NOT buy this game, a waste of money
Nov 9, 2011This game blows. Worst game ever released on the wii system. Save your money and get The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword instead, or anyother awesome game by Nintendo for that matter.
Nov 9, 2011@BUCKCITY
All the bad reviews may have been copied from other systems but you can expect the game to be better on those systems (this game was not made with the Wii in mind). Therefore, the reviewers are being generous most of the time as the Wii version should be getting a lower score than the other versions.
Nov 9, 2011This game is not worth a single penny. Why do people buy this crap every single year? Wake up people, Activision is ripping you off. They say they work two years on this "masterpiece", but isn't it very clear they don't spend more than 6 months?
This is just another generic first person shooter. There already way too many of them, and these guys are not helping. This game is not worth your time or money. Buy Call of Duty 4 for 10 bucks instead, it's the same thing. Oh, and be sure to buy it used - Activision don't deserve your precious money.… Expand
Nov 9, 2011I'd be saying to much if I were to say this game is MW2.5 It's more Like MW2: The Lost DLC Edition Because it's basically the same game! I can't believe I was tricked into buying $60 DLC. The mulitiplayer maps are the worst in the series, The singleplayer is way to short, and the graphics, same dull texters Instead of getting Skyrim, I wasted my hard earned cash on this pathetic excuse for a game

Nov 10, 2011Game is absolute garbage. The campaign just felt absolutely forced and was completely forgettable by the end of it. Spec Ops is trash because zombies in WaW and Black Ops was just so much better. Not to mention you were able to play it with upto 3 other people that you know! Where's the fun in fighting endless enemies with only one other person? There is no fun in that. On to multiplayer... the maps are the worst I have ever seen. The graphics are extremely dated, Battlefield 3 just completely slaughters this game. The textures are also horrendous! Everything about this game is re-used from Modern Warfare 2. This game doesn't feel fresh at all. All of the guns and skins are re-used... the menus as well... even some of the buildings and vehicles. The sounds of the guns are still bad, and some are the same as MW2. Battlefield 3 is just so much better. Sorry if the truth hurts. This game is just a bad DLC to a game that came out two years ago. Save your money!… Expand
Nov 10, 2011The history was short and sweet, nobody expected nothing better from the story. The multiplayer is where this game shines, well nope, it feels like a MW2 mappack
Nov 10, 2011This game is a rehash and its pretty much solidifying the fact that gaming is dying. Every year expect more and more of these things to come out, receive inflated scores by paid off reviewers, and for them to break all sorts of retail records. COD is the new Madden of our time, only difference is it changes even less between installments.
Nov 11, 2011The sentence of ACTIVISION:
"Normally I do not do that, but if you like MW3 go to Metacritic.com and support Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. His note is suspiciously low. Be honest, but help us if you agree."
MW2.1 is a joke!
Nov 20, 2011Call of Duty is smashing records & making BILLIONS, yet they cant even upgrade the graphics engine
COD is making more money then any other game out there, At least change something with all that money,(Like most developers do) hey maybe they could change the leveling up music?
CoDs repetitive titles are also taking the eyes of the consumers off of higher standard quality games that deserve it (Skyrim, Skyward Sword, AC:R, BF3, UC3, etc.) It should be those games breaking records, you know, the ones with time actually being spent to increase the greatness of them?
the whole damn world bought CoD, they went full retard man.… Expand
Nov 20, 2011i cant believe i wasted my $$$ on this piece of #####.
game plays the same feeels the same.
this should be dlc rather than a full game. this is the last time you got my $$$ activition.
Nov 21, 2011This game sucks, I can't believe people are still buying this mainstream crap. They make the same game every year, make some new maps for the boring multiplayer, and slap together a linear, run from point a to b campaign. Its as bad as the ea sports games, as its just milking people year after year. If you've never played the games before, you might enjoy this, but if you've sick and tired of the yearly repetitive cod formula save your money and stay away, you'll find little to nothing new.… Expand
Nov 21, 2011Unbelievable how the same exact game we played years ago (COD: Modern Warfare 1) gets extra levels and they name that same game COD: Modern Warfare 3. Then they slap a 60 dollar price tag on it an sell it as new. Hopefully now, after literally almost every single user review is a 0 or 1, the publisher and developers of this tittle get the massage.
Very very disappointed. I expected Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer games to innovate on what was once one of the greatest franchises of all time. Instead they decided to churn out the same junk from last year and the year before. I'm just in shock they would let this franchise die such a horrible death. The weapon sound effects are the same, rank up sounds same, kill streak menus the same and the main menu is also exactly the same as Modern Warfare 2. Graphics have barley had a tune up. Thing don't look better just more glossy. As if everything in the world of Call of Duty is colored with Candy paint. The Campaign was a let down as well, I expected an epic climax to the story instead i got lead down a straight path to at the end, push keys it told me to, and with such dated graphics it just looks so cheesy. Theres no variety to multiplayer either. Basically its every man for himself. Everyone run around like chickens with their heads cut off. In my opinion this game also takes no skill to play. The weapons significantly lack recoil making it very, very easy to aim and by aim i mean spray rounds everywhere because you wont be bumped off target. Not worth 60 dollars, hell not worth 20 dollars. I'm no fanboy, just a very disappointed gamer.… Collapse
Jan 23, 2012I played this on the Xbox 360, a bit annoyed at the children droning on with their immaturity. I owned this on PS3, miss it now... Having bought this on Wii makes me want to throttle the prick at gameslop for not warning me about how crappy this game is. Do not buy this, don't. It isn't what you want it to be. You know what, if this is the best Wii has to offer in terms of first person shooters then maybe all it really IS good for is a singy dancy pokemon game after all. I hate that I wasted my money on a wii now. Congratulations Nintendo, you managed to convince me to buy another PS3!… Expand

Apr 27, 2012More of the same, nothing but FPS garbage. This genre has single handedly destroyed gaming and turned the entire industry into one that favors "safe" shallow gameplay with good graphics instead of games that are actually enjoyable.
Jan 19, 2013The main reason why is game is bad is because you can tell that the developers did not care about the game they were making. The Wii did not get MW2 so most Wii players couldn't fully understand the campaign. The multiplayer also had lag shooting then kill streaks didn't work then hackers took over. Overall all its an awful game.
Jul 18, 2013I'm sick of the Wii. Motion Controls are not the future of gaming. Why put a really good game on a bad console with horrible controls? The Wii Remote makes it hard to play.

Jan 23, 2012Whilst there have been cuts to the package, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 remains a solid title on Wii. The story has made it over completely and the multiplayer is as fun as ever, and will easily cut through any days of boredom. If you are into shooters, then this should tickle you the right way.
Jan 21, 2012MW3 is the definitive version of the franchise on the Wii and one of the best FPS ever made for the console.
Jan 3, 2012I realize that I am painting a fairly bad picture of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and I admit that it is hard to be objective when I have already had the pleasure to play the title on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Comparing across the platforms is hardly fair when the Wii's processing power is so limited that it forces developers to make significant modifications to the gameplay. But even considering that, Modern Warfare 3 is merely an average shooter compared to the other FPS titles on the Wii.

Candy Memories
The front room where you'd pay had other intriguing attractions, such as a scale that we'd weigh ourselves on, and a candy-dispensing vending machine that was unlike any I've ever seen, before or since. It was a tall, skinny, white metal box that contained little shelves upon which rode all sorts of great treats, including Chuckles. There was a large brown dial on the side that enabled you to maneuver whichever candy you wanted into the correct position. The money went in somewhere, and then the pull of a level sent the candy to the bottom where you could retrieve it.
We didn't often buy from that vending machine, as we seldom had any money, but we loved to turn that dial and watch the candy bars and other treats parade past the window over and over again. The owner of this same feed mill kept a box of Safety Pops behind the counter to give out to kids that came in, so we always went home with something sweet! I had forgotten all about Chuckles until recently when I spotted some in a store. I have since found other old favorite candies turning up here and there and am putting together a bag of treats for each of my nieces and nephews to give them at Christmastime. Jay from Minneapolis

You can't find Chuckles anymore; I use to buy them at gas stations but now they can't be found. When I received the case, I opened a pack for old time sake and they taste the same. Good, sweet & yummy like a jelly candy should. So happy I found Old Time Candy; love my Chuckles.........

I have always loved Chuckles, but it's been getting harder and harder to find them. When I found your site the first thing I did was to check and see if you had them. I was sooooo happy to find them. You have a new friend, you will be getting an order from me alot. At Christmas I will be sending my friends their special candies too. Thanks, for you site and your great service too I got my order in no time.

Just like when I was a Kid and HANDY TOO!
These are my favorite... I remember walking down the road to where they had a Candy Machine (One of those hard to pull our bottom lever kind!) and these were a quarter. I'd struggle to pull out that lever and I always saved the licorice one for last (My favorite.) They are always fresh and soft from Old Time Candy.

Some societies don't allow divorce. In societies that do, there are still people who just won't have it. After all, the vow was "until death do us part". Surely this must be taken as direct advice for how to handle a divorce? This can go down two basic routes, murder or suicide, and the spouse who dies may be the one trying to leave or the one wanting to stay. The murder versions are often driven by greed, a desire to avoid splitting the family fortune. Other common reasons include:

|SOLSD Cuts: Phase Three Will Cut 23 Teacher Positions, Funding to Sports
|Written by Darin Brown, General Manager
|Wednesday, February 27, 2013 6:55 PM
Phase three cuts were approved by the Switzerland of Ohio Local School District during their meeting on Feb. 21 by a vote of 4-1. The cuts are part of a continued plan by the district to put its financial house in order after a five year forecast presented in October had them at a $5.1 million dollar deficit by 2017.
Phase three cuts are set to go into effect for the 2013-14 school year. They are also dependent upon whether or not the district's levy proposed in May passes or fails. If the levy fails, phase three cuts will take place.
The cuts that will take place in 2013-14 are as follows, according to the agenda for the Feb. 21 school board meeting: 1. "Close River High School's bus garage and eliminate one bus mechanic position (effective 8/1/2013)." 2. "All athletic and extra-curricular programs must be financially self-supporting. All programs will be required to cover 100% of their expenditures, including supplemental contracts for coaches and assistant coaches, equipment and uniforms, transportation, field maintenance, referees, etc., effective 2013-14 school year." 3. "Eliminate six ESC teaching aide positions, effective 8/1/13." 4. "Eliminate one ESC Tag position, effective 8/1/13." 5. Reorganization of the school district to include elimination of 23 certified positions, effective 2013-14 school year."
The most difficult cuts are certainly those of 23 teaching positions. Before the vote on cuts took place, Superintendent Larry Elliott said grimly, "Possibly, one in five of our teachers may be gone next year." While some of the 23 positions could be eliminated through attrition, there will certainly be layoffs.
With losing so many teaching professionals, the quality of education will also most likely suffer. Creative thinking will also need to take place on how to staff all the schools while cutting 23 positions. According to board president Ron Winkler, that is where the language "reorganization of the school district" comes in to account.
Though Winkler said other possibilities were discussed, he would only disclose one possibility of "reorganization" which would see Sardis become a K-4 school and Hannibal become a 5-8 school. Of course, such a change would only be temporary since the two schools are set to merge in 2014-15 anyway.
The other startling cut is that of all funding to extracurricular activities. While the activities will still be allowed to exist, they will have to be funded entirely through pay-to-play initiatives, fund raisers, and booster activity. For those wishing to participate in sports or other activities, the cost is likely to be high.
While four board members voted for the phase three cuts (including Ron Winkler, Janelle Comstock, Dave Matz and Ed Carleton), there was one dissenting vote placed by the board's newest member Justin Isaly. Isaly was quick to say that he supports the cuts but would not vote on a measure that was only a stop-gap.
According to Isaly, further cuts and re-organization were discussed during previous meetings among board members and the state. The phase three cuts did not include all the cuts discussed or needed for long-term viability. "I felt like we needed to get everything out of the road instead of putting ourselves back to the table six months, a year, two years later to come up with more cuts," Isaly said.
When asked about what further cuts would be, Isaly said the only options the district has left is to close schools or to restructure schools. For example, solutions discussed were to make Skyvue, Woodsfield, Hannibal/Sardis and Powhatan all K-6 schools while making Monroe Central and River 7-12 schools. Isaly said of such possibilities, "Nobody wants to make these cuts. But I want people to realize that this is how bad it is, and this is what really needs done [if the upcoming levy does not pass]."
Backing up Isaly's statement, when asked if the phase three cuts (combined with phase one and two cuts) will bring the school district back into the black and out of the red, SOLSD treasurer Lance Erlwein said, "That unfortunately only takes us into the black for two years." That means, if levy funding is not received, conversations will continue about cuts into the future.
Erlwein also concurred with Isaly that those cuts would have to count on shutting down entire schools. "The only thing left to cut is to close buildings. In doing a temporary cut [such as the phase three cuts], we are avoiding the closing of brand new buildings," Erlwein said.

If enacted, the Generating Renewal, Opportunity and Work with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America (GROW AMERICA) Act would:
"It'll support millions of jobs by modernizing roads and bridges and ensure businesses can compete in the global economy," says the Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure, a non-profit formed to grow the public-private partnership marketplace. Not surprisingly, the organization's particularly pleased with expanded financing mechanisms:
In addition to expanding highway funding to "green stormwater infrastructure activities" and building on MAP-21's project-streamlining initiatives, the package addresses 12 critical needs (click here for a list) including …
The package's "Fix-it-First" philosophy prioritizes road and transit investment in rural and tribal areas and attempts to give local governments more control over how they spend their federal dollars.
Those MPOs will also receive greater Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) suballocations.

According to the administration, the package provides $87 billion more over four years than what would be spent if the bill maintained current program levels.

So, Sheldon Souray of the Oil has asked for a trade, basically burned all bridges up in Oil land according to SBN sister site, Copper & Blue.
Anyway, he's due 4.5m for 10-11 and 11-12 and I doubt the Stars would be able to find a better defenseman. The money works because I think that they trade Riberio for something so they stay within their ~45m budget. I also don't think he'll cost anything significant in terms of prospects. Maybe you can get them to take Brunstrom in a swap of disappointing players or something along those lines.
Upgrading the d corp is the first, second and third priorities of the offseason. Souray seems like he could be someone who could help.

Very enjoyable
Bring a hat or anything to cover your head and body during the lake cruise
Doing what: Geneva City Tour and Boat Cruise
I was somewhat disappointed by this tour. The itinerary was fine but the guide's heavily accented English was very difficult to understand as were her instructions. It would have been nice to get off the bus to take pictures but we simply drove by them. They stopped once but you had to take the pictures through the bus window. She also did things like say, "coming up on the right" and what we were supposed to see was actually on the left. The boat ride along the lake was pleasant as it was a hot day but it would have been nice to be offered a bottle of water. We had to pay 4 euros to get one at a stand before we boarded the boat.

nice lake, nice castle, nice guider!
Doing what: Day Trip to Lausanne, Montreux and Château de Chillon
This was a wonderful trip. The Geneva Lake and views of the Alps is simply amazing and the weather for the boat ride could not have been better. I would have rated this a 5 Star recommendation, but didn't for a few reasons only. I felt the guide we had, although very nice, had a strong accent which made it difficult to understand her while speaking in English and I think a younger person would have come across as more enthusiastic. The epic point for the trip was the Casino de Montreux and finding out the meaning of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water".

Excellent tour. The autumn climate was well suited to this tour of the shores of Lake Geneva and boat trip on the lake. We were well served by an excellent guide

Loved this tour. The Lake Geneva countryside is absolutely beautiful. It made me want to come back and spend even more time in Lausanne and Montreux.
Doing what: Day Trip to Lausanne, Montreux and Château de Chillon
We had booked this tour to give me a comprehensive look at Geneva, and boy was I impressed!
The tour was comprehensive and excellent.
We started off from Gare Routiere in Geneva and boarded a tourist bus which was comfortable and air-conditioned. We went all around geneva and got to look at many important buildings such as the WTO , UN , UNAIDS and others!
Then we were transferred to a mini train through which we went through the tiny little streets of Geneva that were not accessible by the Bus. Again we saw interesting landmarks and places! got to know a lot of stuff!
Finally, at the final leg of the tour, we were transferred to a boat to go around lake geneva. And I can say is this was by far that most mesmerising and heavenly experience of the tour!
It was a great sunny and clear day, and to spend on the lake was simply dazzling. One can not get enough of the fantastic views of the geneva city and its shores and monuments.
The boat trip lasted about an hour where we went through an anti clockwise patter starting off from the Jet D'eau and concluding at the chinese embassy and light house.
Overall, I really do recommend anyone who is coming first time to geneva to take this tour!
Doing what: Geneva City Tour and Boat Cruise
Overall the whole tour was a little disappointing. On the bus portion, our guide talked about the city and important buildings as we drove by. However, it was very difficult to see everything she was talking about since the bus was going quite fast; and almost impossible to take photos. The boat tour is a separate event. The boat itself was small and a little warm inside. You are given a brochure that shows a numbered map to several key attractions around lake Geneva. As the boat goes around the lake, a pre-recorded narration gives you a little more information about the attractions (in 4-5 languages). The whole set-up was marginal, at best, and the boat was very crowded. At the end of the tour, you are dropped off at a different place than where the tour started. It's OK if you want to get an idea of Geneva and it's history, but you might as well watch a documentary film on Geneva in the comfort of your living room.

Lady tour guide was very nice and had lots of info on the sites. Chocalate factory tour was fun and had a wonderful smell of chocolate. The drive to the factory was amazing. Mtns , the lake, the beatiful green hills. We went to a local cheesemaker who provided us a lunch of cheeses , local meats and wine. Then we made fondue which was yummy. Next we took the panoramic train, which half way through was foggy, but thats no fault of the tour. Overall a wonderful experience and the highlight of my 3 day trip to Switzerland !

The tour was interesting and informative. The mini-train was fun, but a little bone-rattling :) The cruise on the lake was great fun, but we often missed things because the translation was so long in coming that the site of interest had passed.
Doing what: Geneva City Tour and Boat Cruise
The boat trip was excellent, a very pretty day out on the lake and saw many beautiful places - good to see the city from the water. The bus trip gave a good look at the United Nations, but given Geneva is so small - was very short. Tour guide seemed more interested in her friends that were on the tour, giving them pick of the best seats etc.
Doing what: Geneva City Tour and Boat Cruise
Antoinette was terrific. Everything was done right: the tour of the Caille chocolate factory, the lunch at the farm, with fondue we made at the table, the visit to the town of Gruyere, the panoramic train, and the final drink at the restaurant high overlooking Lake Geneva. I highly recommend it.
Doing what: Day Trip to Gruyères including Golden Panoramic Express Train
A picturesque trip travelling from Geneva to Montreux by coach with the lake on one side and countryside on the other. Chillon Castle on the edge of the lake was most interesting. The Christmas Markets were busy and fun.

KUSA- A fire at an Aurora apartment complex displaced a more than dozen people and one pet.
The owner of the Laredo House Apartments on East 17th Place says fire broke out in one of the buildings around 7 p.m. Saturday night.
Boyd Merriman lives on the third floor of the complex.
"Smoke went up there really, really fast," Merriman said. "Disbelief at first, but as soon I saw what was out in the hallway, we just grabbed ourselves and ran out the door. Anything of importance outside of that is still up there."
Greg Draper owns the complex.
"What matters most is that everyone is accounted for, especially our elderly and the children," Draper said. "We're here to see this through and make sure that everybody has a warm place to stay this evening and we'll make the appropriate arrangements."
The American Red Cross provided 3 hotel rooms for 10 people and one dog. Others are staying with family or friends.
The Red Cross typically provides for essential immediate needs such as housing for the night, food, blankets, comfort kits, clothing and help refilling medications destroyed by the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
