Nov 12, 2010"This is probably one of the best, if not the best games ever made in terms of content."
I don't see why there are lots of trollish idiots on this review page who review this game a 0, or 1 or anything other than 10. Everyone who did this needs to realize that there are games other than Call of duty and other crap that plagues consoles under the name FPS. This is a very impressive game that set the standards for RPG's that followed. There's literally 100's of hours of content, along with many dungeons and caves to explore. For people saying that all the caves look the same: Well, so do the ones in real life, and you wouldn't have known anyways because you're spending your whole life on your 360 trying to prestiege. Also, the terrain is varied, unlike what people have said before. There are mountains, snow capped mountains, forests, valleys, plains, wastelands, and even swamps. This is probably one of the best, if not the best games ever made in terms of content. This version in particular has the best loading times and graphics improvements. Bethesda is an amazing game maker and completely blew me off track with this game. This game actually got me through the pains i had in real life, and kept me occupied during frustrating times. I salute this game and all who have made it. If you haven't played this game, go play it. Don't listen to all these fanboy haters that are mad because the PS3 version is more smooth. Overall, definately the #1 game on my list. Good luck.… Expand
Mar 23, 2011I love this game. I didn't play any of the earlier Elder Scrolls games and so Oblivion was my first taste of Tamriel. It's a huge fantasy RPG and I cannot stress enough that if you like this kind of game you will get hours and hours and hours of play for your money as there is just so much you can do and so many places to explore. One of the best things about this for me is if you want to follow the main story line you can, or if you'd like to do loads of side quests you can or if you just want to wander around and do whatever the heck you like, you can. The world they've created is the best and most realistic to date I've ever seen in a video game with the trees, lakes, fields and landscape wonderful in places. Often during the game I would literally just stop for a while to look at a beautiful sunset as I just simply couldn't ignore it. The music and sound effects are all spot on and really help you to feel immersed in the world you're in and you can get so involved in your travels in Cyrodil that you are reluctant to come back to the real world! I enjoyed both the main story and the various side quests and I loved they way you could buy your own houses and fill them full of treasures you've found in your explorations. The inventory although fairly complex is set up in a way that's easy to use and also checking out your spells and talents and keeping a tab on that is simple enough. The voice acting is also well done and I love the way you can listen in on people chatting as you're passing. I also love how after you have completed certain parts of the game people will actually comment on it when they see you walk by. The only slight flaws with this game I found were a few bugs in places and some of the caves look a bit similar so could have done with a few changes here and there to make them more individual but all the things that are great about this game far, far outweigh the flaws. Overall I give the game 9.8 but seeing as I have to put an even number, I'll say ten. Keep up the good work Bethesda, long may the Elder Scrolls continue.… Expand
II bought this game based on the good critics, came home and played it for 2 hours.... Then I walked over to my PS3 and pushed the eject button, sat on the ground in disbelieve. I just survived the most horrible gaming experience ever. In 2 hours nothing happened... I created a character, fought some rat, fought some dogs, got caught picking a lock, died while trying to swing my sword in all directions butt the enemies.
I just wandered about in some boring land with a butt ugly character
who seems to hover over the land in stead of walking, the collision
detection is just horrible. When the guy jumps it goes almost in
If you are like me and would like to try a RPG in stead of your
regular doses casual gaming -> InFAMOUS, God Of War, Red Dead
Redemption, Uncharted etc etc .. AVOID ... DO NOT TOUCH. You will die
out of boredom.… Collapse
Feb 1, 2011I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is, quite possibly, one of the best games ever made. The amount of customization and creativity you get to enjoy, the gigantic landscapes you get to explore, the massive amount of quests and journeys you get to experience make the entire ride amazing. It took me about a month of quite consistent playing to get everything I was willing to do done, and there was still some small quests left over. If you don't own this game, you must. Stop what you're doing and go buy it, right now.… Expand
Apr 4, 2011i love this game and it is in my top 5 best games on the PS3. there is just so much to do and eventualy the story line becomes a bit blurred but that is alright because you natrually avoid it any way since there is so much to do in the way of content. wheather it is doing missions for the dark brotherhood or individual quests there is always something to do and you will never be bored the graphics arent the best but that is because of the sheer size of the world you play in and can easily be forgivin and i can't wait for Skyrim to come out in november… Expand
Nov 17, 2011I bought the Game of the Year edition. It was great. Herping and derping killing people and demons. Running away from the law with a stolen horse. Then I got turned into a vampire...apparently there's a glitch on the Game of the Year PS3 version that prevents you from turning back human. I couldn't stand all the multi-tasking that came with being a Vampire. You would think after all these years they would have patched this glitch, but noooo. Quit after I found a demonic artifact for that monk.… Expand
Dec 17, 2012This game started me with RPG's, it is awesome, I loved open mapped games, ignore the negative votes, This type of games is where you have to find the main missions or misc missions, not for them too come to you! Awesome swords, spells etc, simply best :)
Aug 17, 2013This game always loomed around the video store unnoticed, until I picked it up one day by chance. I never looked back since then, it is one of my all time favorites, and I will always treasure the memories and experiences this game gave me. Absolute 10/10.
Feb 20, 2014This game is very fun for a lot of reasons, but I'll name just a few: First, the combat OBVIOUSLY had quite a bit of work put into it, unlike another game *ahem* skyrim *ahem*, anyways, as you level up your skills in swords, maces and giant 90 pound warhammers (literally) you can perform up to 10 different power attacks, the first 5 of which just deal an extra bit of damage, but as you work up into the master skill, you can knock over, or even paralyze others to give yourself an advantage in combat.
Secondly, The people are interesting and have a personality (yes it's sometimes inconsistent when you click rumors they speak like normal people which ruins some of the crazy personalities of some people, and aside from that it is pretty nice to see people talk to each other and even travel from city to city.
It isn't perfect, especially compared to the PC and Xbox 360, you can't get a lot of the DLC, some of the quests are buggy as sh*t, especially being cured of vampirism. I won't spoil what happens though. anyways, other than that, I really like it… Expand
Feb 27, 2014This is what happens when people lose the ability to expect quality for what they purchase. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion happens to be an absolute mess...a very glitched and bugged mess. No doubt there is fun to be found within this game, though many can find entertainment in watching staged wrestling, so the argument goes back to quality. There is a lot to do in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, though it's mostly repetitive fetch quests. Very simple, though not a bad thing...The Elder Scrolls series is the R.P.G. series for the simplistic player or the casual gamer.… Expand
Aug 12, 2010Lots of adventures in this game but in general it lacks drama and storytelling. When it came out graphics were ok, but today the game looks pretty old.
Still one of the best RPG ifor the PS3.
Sep 23, 2010The standard for sprawling sandbox games since Daggerfall, Bethesda manages another fantastic game packed with hundreds of hours of content. From senseless slaughter to daring theft to epic heroism, you are truly free to carve your own satisfying path through the rich environs of Cyrodiil.
Oct 12, 2010An amazing, insanely rich game that fully immerses you. The graphics (for their time), soundtrack, gameplay, depth, and replayability are all top-notch. My only complaints with TES IV is the great-but-not excellent story, the leveling system, the infamously clunky Bethesda animations, and the lack of variety in voice actors. These, however, are hardly problems when compared to the multitude of things to do and have fun doing in Oblivion. Cities, houses, weapons, quests, horses; you name it, Oblivion has it. The freedom to do whatever you want in the manner you want is unparalleled in comparison to today's lineup of games.… Expand
Nov 21, 2010You've been trawling through dark, dank sewers for about half an hour. You've created a character which suits you perfectly. You're heading through a long tunnel. There's a light at the end. A gate. You approach the gate, confirm your character is how you want, then open it. Bright, dazzling sunshine greets your eyes. You look around. Trees upon trees for miles. An expansive lake. Mountains in the distance, covered in snow. And it's all there to explore. In terms of sheer scale, no game compares to Oblivion. The graphics are beyond-words-gorgeous. Occasional glitches and bugs (to be expected with a world this huge) are the only thing which prevent this game from being absolute perfection. 97%.… Expand
Dec 26, 2010Roll playing games are not my favorite genre in gaming but I did find this one to be one of the most ambitious offerings I'd ever taken on. The scope and scale of this game is overwhelming. 99% of the game goes off without a hitch but there was one key bug that really impacted my game (the "cure vampirism" quest). Other than that the ability to customize your character, what seems like a nearly unlimited number of quests and side quests, and a world that is so large it kept me engaged as long as any game I can remember. I'd give it a 96 out of 100 it it weren't for the "bug" that really impacted the game for a while. I still give it a 93 out of 100 all things considered and the best RPG game I ever played. Can't wait for TES 5!!!… Expand
Mar 15, 2011TES IV: Oblivion is one of the greatest games ever made. It's official plug-in, Knights of the Nine, and the large expansion, The Shivering Isles, are both great and come with the Game of the Year Edition of Oblivion. The PS3 version's great, X-Box 360 version's slightly better, because you can buy official plug-ins from X-Box Live, and there's no doubt that the PC version is the best from the three, because you can buy the plug-ins, the loading times are much faster (depending on you computer, of course), and you can download the unofficial plug-ins and mods, that make the game dynamics better and more realistic. Now to the game itself. One of the bad sides of the game comes up after few hours of playing: the voice acting is pretty lame. The game has only 14 voice actors, and personally, I think that only two of them are actually good. Although you can get used to that. The storyline however kicks ass, once you get the hang of it. At the beginning of the game you can create your own character, from the name to the hairstyle. After you complete the Tutorial you can do what ever you want to do! You can continue the storyline or go your own way by completing side-quests, exploring dungeons, etc. The AI is kinda awkward, however. I myself once found a NPC swimming in middle of a lake, hundreds of miles away from the city she was suppose to be in. The character design is kinda strange too. For example, the women almost look like men. Personally, I think this is one of the best games I've ever plaid (and I have plaid many games), and is a must-have for every fantasy RPG -fan. If you're planning to buy this game, a little tip: buy the Game of the Year Edition!… Expand
Mar 15, 2011Graphics/Performance(10/10): Oblivion features vast, believable wilderness with good graphics for 2007. The draw distance on some objects can break immersion, but this is necessary as the view distance is at least a couple miles. Unfortunately, due to the above sometimes outdoor performance is less than perfect, but never unplayable. Animations are stiff and uninspired in third person mode. All races share the exact same animations. Loading screens range from seconds to half a minute.
Singleplayer(10/10): Great length. You can literally play for days without even touching the main story line after the beginning.
Multiplayer(N/A): N/A
Gameplay(9/10): You can pretty much do anything you want to in Oblivion. If you want to run around and kill wildlife, you can. If you want to be a thief and spend your time stealing and avoiding the guards, you can. You can make your character into a warrior and face everything head on, a stealthy rouge and attack from the shadows, a mage and fight with magic and creatures, or any combination of the above. However, a lot of the NPC interaction is very cheesy. You can save an NPCâ… Expand
Apr 5, 2011This must be the best game I have ever played. The graphics, are amazing and there is simply so much to do. There must be over 150 side-quests and the story is interesting but its not very long. 10
Aug 14, 2011I confess to playing every mission and every side mission and every other damn piece of content I could find. Oblivion was by turns compelling and maddening. The complete game world, gorgeous landscapes, dynamic difficulty matching, seamless side-quest integration, and thorough attention to storyline and script places it head and shoulders above other RPGs in conception and gameplay. And yet, in execution, some horrible blunders mar the experience: truly awful voice acting, long load times, and an unfortunate tendency to crash at the most immersion-destroying moments. Still, I've played the whole thing, so Oblivion had enough "X-factor" to overcome the glaring defects. Let's hope Skyrim has better QA and voice acting!… Expand
Sep 6, 2011I have owned this game for a number of years now and it continues to blow my mind. The game resembles real life in relation to law and order but is set in a somewhat medieval time filled with weapons and magic . The possibilities are endless. This is a game where the main quest can be put aside and forgotten and you can welcome a huge and vibrant world filled with individual people and locations. Not only can you find a quest round every corner but you can shape who you are in terms of skills and abilities and interact with the hundreds of people whether they are merchants or beggars. The landscape is incredibly expansive, ranging from snow capped mountains to sandstone caverns. Yes the graphics are not state of the art but you must remember that it was made in 2007, a time where the quality and complexity of computer graphics and computers for that matter was half of that of the present day. I highly recommend this ingenious game which will guarantee you hundreds of hours of a fulfilling gaming experience.… Expand
Sep 9, 2011TESIV Oblivion is definitely the greatest open-world RPG game out there to date. If you're really into RPGs, this game will likely take over 100 hours of immersive gameplay. There are tons to do in this game outside the main quest, you could join the many guilds (eg. Mage guild, fighter guild etc), be a champion gladiator, a thief/burglar, treasure hunting, randomly punching people in the face if you don't like how they look at you, and about a hundred other sidequests. Character customisation is fun, you can choose different races, your speciality, your attire, weapons etc. You'll also be spending a good amount of time exploring the cities, caves, and wilderness across Cyrodiil. The landscape is vast, detailed and beautiful to look at. And on top of all this, if you can't get enough of this game, the Shivering Isle expansion is a must get. Therefore, I suggest to any PS3 gamers to get the Game of the Year Edition because it includes both Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isle expansion in the game for the same price. They're all very good expansions. Anyway, there are some flaws, nothing major but are present nonetheless. Character creation is poor, you can never make a good looking male..... good thing you get to put a helmet on. There are limited character animation, and therefore fights may look less epic. NPCs have no emotions, or at least do not express them on their faces, will feel very awkward during conversations when they are scared but giving you the blank face at the same time. And they will stand very still while the background pauses during conversations. There are also no trophy support for the PS3 version. But all in all, I've got to say despite all these flaws, this game is excellent (keeping in mind what year this game was produced). Therefore, I give Oblivion a 10 out 10!… Expand
Sep 21, 2011Though, despite the huge hype and respect for this game, I find it to be quite terrible. It's just simply not my kind of game. I found the game play to be disturbingly horrible, the graphics are what you would expect to see on a first generation console. I can't say to much for the story line, sense I could not get more then 10 minutes into the game without turning it off in absolute sickness. So all around, I don't really have a right to review this game sense I could not even get close to finishing it. I understand that a lot of people love this game, and completely understand those who are wanting to send me bomb threats for my huge hatred towards this game. I just though I should let others know that this games is not worth paying any attention to, and should be forgotten as soon as possible. Except for those who already love the game.… Expand
Sep 25, 2011The elder scrolls series is by far one of the richest and most engrossing franchises around the sheer volume of content in this game is overwhelming I spent a fair few months of my life in this game just developing my own character and exploring a massive new world this is a game to play if you really want a game in which you can just get lost in the environment, the characters, the enemies and the storyline make this by far the best RPG game out there. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has got very big shoes to fill I have high hopes that it will not just fill those shoes but will set the standard for all RPG games for the future. Long live The Elder Scrolls.… Expand
Oct 19, 2011Probably the best fantasy-world simulation ever made. The size and detail put into the world are jaw-dropping and I personally played over 200 hours without touching the main quest. I cant even put into a full review my thoughts, but I've started new characters countless times and am still playing it 4 years after release.
If you like fantasy, play this game.
Oct 31, 2011I bought this game because I loved Fallout 3 so much, and it's amazing how similar yet different the games can be. Fallout 3 made me a fan with the storyline, the character development, and the sheer creativity of the post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. So, I thought Oblivion would be equally awesome. And was I ever wrong. Oblivion is the same big environment, free-roam idea, but it has no heart. It's technically impressive in terms of the sheer massiveness of it all, but there's nothing about it that made me want to see where it would all end. The combat system is clunky and unsatisfying, and if you aren't a fan of medieval times, this won't make a convert. Very disappointing. If they had been able to put a little soul into this huge body of work, it could have been a giant of a game.… Expand
Nov 10, 2011It's a rare moment, but once in a decade it happens. Once in a decade there comes a game that makes the real world sound dull, sucks you in it's vast, detailed and atmospheric world for hundreds of hours.
This is THE game from the last decade, a game you don't want to miss for all it's worth.
Dec 19, 2011This is what games should aspire to be. Oblivion is a masterpiece when you consider that the game is able to be played by virutually your own imagination. One has to remember that RPG stands for Role Playing Game and this game takes that concept to heart. Want to be a thief, no problem the game allows you to be a thief. Want to be a bad ass Mage, no problem. Want to summon stuff and watch the chaos, no problem. Just want to walk around and do whatever comes to mind. No problem. This is what i want to stress most about oblivion if you spend some time with the game you can play exactly as you want and there is so much going on within the world (but you have to search to find it). Another thing i want to point out about the game is it has gameplay options that allow you to slide the difficulty anywhere you like at any time. There really has been a limitless ability to allow you to play anyway you prefer and at any difficulty you prefer. The only reason I can find to knock a point off this game despite being so large is that it contains still unfixed glitches and a few weird things (like activating a "night eye" spell with intentions to make you see in the dark- in the light can make you seem to be invisible) -which can break immersion or just tick you off for all the hours you put in. But really this games goes above and beyond providing gamers their monies worth no one should rate this under 8 at worse.… Expand
Dec 30, 2011One of the best games ever created. Massive world,massive amount of customization,amazing graphics, beautiful soundtrack and touching story makes Oblivion an experience of lifetime. Oblivion improves everything from Morrowind. Get ready to lose your social life
Jan 4, 2012Oblivion disappointed me. I bought it in 2010 and I was really looking forward to playing it. When I put the disc in my PS3 I was happy, I thought this game was going to be really good. I made my character and I started the story. After I got out of the sewer, I did my first quest, after that I was bored. I got the GOTY edition, so I decided to go over to the strange gate that opened and I started the Shivering Isles expansion. I was still bored. Does this mean that Oblivion was a bad game? No. I just wasn't playing it right. But when I finally realised that It was an open-world RPG I decided to play it as one. So after not playing for months, I started the game and started exploring. And I was still bored. I didn't find it fun exploring the massive open-world and I was never really compelled to do any more exploring. In the end I just gave up on Oblivion and waited for Skyrim, which I was sceptical about after my time with Oblivion, but I bought Skyrim and it was an incredible game. I guess Skyrim was just made better than Oblivion. Or maybe it was something to do with me. I don't know. But Oblivion certainly is a good game. Just not a great game in my opinion.… Expand

The fundamental game is just so epic, the world so vast, the options so varied, that you'll find more quality gameplay shoehorned into this disc than just about any other game I can think of. But the version sitting on store shelves right now is inferior to its brethren on other platforms. So I can really only recommend it if you don't own a 360 or a PC capable of running the game well.
Oblivion on PS3 is one of the biggest and most impressive role-playing games in history, and you owe it to yourself to play it if you haven't already experienced it elsewhere.
What this game lacks for in screen resolution, it makes up for in its excellent open world, beautiful art design, and grand architecture.

University of Texas
In what campus police called one of the largest demonstrations in recent memory, thousands of University of Texas students this week protested racist remarks by a law school professor.
Professor Lino Graglia told a news conference last week that
"blacks and Mexican-Americans are not academically competitive with whites in selective institutions... I am not expert on the causes, [but] it is the result of cultural effects. These cultures do not encourage achievement. Failure is not looked upon with disgrace."
Coming in the wake of the abolition of affirmative action at the University of Texas, the remarks caused an uproar. An estimated 5,000 students rallied Tuesday with the civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson, who called law school professor Lino Graglia "a national disgrace." Jackson called on students to isolate Graglia by avoiding his classes. He said the administration should reassign the professor and keep him away from students.

A NICK CAVE tune is being used in a TV ad campaign?!
Yep, the SA Tourist Commission advertising the Barossa Valley, a beautiful wine-growing district in South Australia. It seems pretty unlikely, and I know it's only an ad, but it's actually really good. Their previous campaign featured Eddie Vedder's "Rise" and it did very well for them.
OK, it's more understandable if it's an Australian campaign!

AFA Presents Yoko d'Holbachie Exhibit, MY STRANGE GODDESS, 4/29
Inspired by popular culture in her native Japan and beyond, Yoko d'Holbachie's acrylic on canvas paintings feature candy-colored creatures with wormlike tentacles traveling through fantasy landscapes. Elements of Kawaii, Anime, Pop Art and Surrealism blend together in d'Holbachie's works, an exhibition of which, "My Strange Goddess," opens at AFA on April 29 (www.afanyc.com).
With this show, her most personal body of work to date, d'Holbachie turns her attention to the feminine, creating portraits of goddesses that are alternately angry, loving, weak and dangerous. The work of d'Holbachie, who was born in Yokohama, has been seen in London, Rome, Los Angeles and Miami. This is her first solo exhibition in the United States.
The opening reception for "My Strange Goddess" will be held on April 28th from 5 to 8 pm, and is free and open to the public (although an RSVP is requested to firstname.lastname@example.com).
AFA is located at 54 Greene Street (corner of Broome Street), in SoHo. Hours are Monday - Saturday, 10am - 7pm and Sundays 11am - 6pm.

The A to Z of car hire
The key facts you need on vehicle rental before you pick up the keys.
Saturday 07 August 2010
Alicante airport – one of the top destinations for car rental, and a location seeing another squeeze on capacity this summer, along with popular Iberian airports such as Malaga, Palma and Faro. Hertz is quoting £272 for a compact car for a week picking up tomorrow, with unlimited kilometres (the usual practice these days). Although many people are accustomed to a figure around half of that, rates are high in summer: given the short season, it is not worth the rental companies deploying too many cars to these locations. And on the subject of picking up a car when you land – the fees levied by airport operators can make it worthwhile hopping aboard a bus, train or cab to the city centre and renting there.
Brokers – intermediaries who may, thanks to their extra buying power, be able to get you a better deal than going direct. That week in Alicante is showing at £175 on Holidayautos.co.uk.
Counterpart – that green paper slip you got with your driving licence but have now mislaid. Technically the rental company can demand it, to make sure you have not been banned, but in practice this seems to happen only in Northern Ireland. If you don't produce the counterpart, they may offer to call the DVLA and charge you £10-£12 for the privilege.
Dents – the reason digital cameras were invented was to allow you to photograph the car before you drive it away to prove that the bodywork was damaged prior to your rental. Otherwise, you could pay out to get them straightened out.
Empty – the state of your wallet if you return the car without fuel when the company is expecting it to be full to the brim. A punitive price for fuel is usually applied. Some firms offer "out empty, back empty", which is a swizz because none of us can hope to judge it exactly right. The option to buy the tank of fuel is usually worthwhile only if you are pressed for time; in some countries, such as Canada, it is the normal policy. Oh, and when you arrive at a petrol station and don't know which side the fuel cap is, the little picture of the petrol pump should tell you – in my experience it is placed on the dial to the side on which the cap is located.
Former car-rental vehicles are easily available for purchase, thanks to the concept of "buyback" – the bedrock of the rental business. Car hire firms agree with the manufacturers to buy the vehicles back after a certain number of miles, perhaps 15,000, or months (usually six or seven). One careful owner? Possibly not. F is also for Ford, which owned the world's biggest car-rental firm, Hertz, for a decade until 2005. Other makes are now available (indeed, they always were).
Green – a few companies are starting to offer the Toyota Prius and the like, but a brave attempt by a car-rental firm in the 1990s to offer folding bikes with vehicles proved a cul-de-sac. Avis helps reduce your footprint with a "Top 10 Eco Driving Tips" advice sheet. Number 8: keep the windows open and the air-con off.
Hitch-hikers – while hitching a lift is the most environmentally considerate form of transport, Holiday Autos warns renters to "never pick up hitch-hikers".
Insurance – where many elements of the car-rental industry make lots of money, selling "supplemental liability insurance", "personal effects coverage", or "personal accident insurance". Book and pay for everything in advance, and for the one element to which the usual rental is exposed – collision damage – you can buy a fixed-rate annual waiver in advance. Just search online.
Jalopy: the Rent-A-Wreck firm has been offering used cars for hire in the US since 1968, and has expanded into Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Keys – of course they come in all shapes and sizes, but the crucial thing is: what you do with them at the end of the rental. Often the office will be unstaffed, and you may just drop them into a box. But renting from Thrifty in New Zealand, for example, you may be instructed to return them to an Air New Zealand desk, or even – in the case of the central Auckland branch – "the BP petrol station at the bottom of Khyber Pass Road".
London congestion charge – usually paid for vehicles picked up within the capital's congestion zone.
Multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) of remarkable size can be rented in the US; Enterprise will hire you a 15-seater from Los Angeles for less than $1,400 for a week, about 150 per cent more than its smallest car.
'Non-returned" (or nicked) rental cars are a nightmare for the industry, with organised crime using cloned credit cards to procure vehicles.
One-way rentals – a breeze if you stay within a single US state (usually California or Florida), or on many journeys within a single European country, but very expensive if you start crossing borders, as many affected by the volcanic ash cloud this year discovered.
Premium location surcharge – usually for big cities. In Ireland, Dollar has a €28 fee for picking up in Dublin or Cork rather than from smaller towns.
Queuing is not necessary if you enrol for one of the multinationals' elite clubs, such as the Hertz Number 1 Club Gold (requiring three annual rentals in the US; make it 30 and you can use the "Designated President's Circle Parking Stalls").
Return – make sure you do so within the time allowed, or you could end up with a host of extra charges. You are allowed a bit of slack, but don't push it: Alamo has a 29-minute "grace period" within the EU, or "thereafter a further full day's rental will be charged".
Stansted – one of several UK airports with special deals for people who want a one-way rental to or from their home. Avis has offered these for as little as £20, much cheaper than airport parking or taxi fares.
Thirty – the average number of miles, in my experience, that you can drive before the fuel needle begins to drop from full. Therefore, the radius from the drop-off point from which you can start looking for a filling station at which to refuel.
Upgrade – never, ever voluntarily upgrade. You will end up paying a small fortune. Steadfastly and politely decline all offers, even when the rental clerk looks amazed and says "you're not thinking of driving all the way to Miami in that?" In my experience, if you book the smallest, cheapest car you will often get a free upgrade anyway.
Volvo XC90 – part of the Hertz prestige collection, which also includes BMWs and Mercedes. This 4x4 SUV will cost £1,259 for a week if you pick it up at Nice airport tomorrow.
Wine – even a sip will send you over the limit, and invalidate your insurance in Pakistan, Cuba, Indonesia, Romania, Jordan and Nigeria, according to Rhinocarhire.com, which produces a comprehensive guide.
XS – industry shorthand for insurance excess, ie the amount you have to pay towards damage or loss. Typically £500, €500 or $750, unless you pay insurance to reduce it.
Young people – anyone under 25 may be refused, or have to pay a premium or accept a higher damage excess.
Zimbabwe – yes, you can even rent a car in this beautiful but troubled nation. Europcar has a Kia Picanto for £292 for a week starting tomorrow, barely more than the rate in Alicante.
All figures quoted are for a week's hire starting tomorrow (8 August)

Small Business Spotlight: Washington Square Thrift Store, Greenville
Not your average thrift store
by Laura Smith
Published: June 26,2011
Tags: ANN MACVAUGH, Greenville, Small Business Spotlight, WASHINGTON SQUARE THRIFT STORE
Fine china, home appliances, clothing, books and games are among the items meticulously displayed at the Washington Square Thrift Store in downtown Greenville.
"The community has been really good to us," said Ann Macvaugh, founder and executive director of Washington Square. "We get items from estates – fine china, televisions. This is upscale resale. It's not your average thrift store."
Washington Square Thrift Store sales benefit Washington Square, a facility that provides educational and work support to those with mental illnesses.
"Our members wash and iron the items, tag and price them, so they're clean and ready for purchase. You can really walk out wearing any of our things," Macvaugh said.
In six years, the thrift store has outgrown its current space at 345 Washington Avenue, and Macvaugh is writing grants seeking funds to purchase the former Fine Vines jeans manufacturing facility further east on Washington. Funds are also needed for more vans, and a truck is needed for pick-up of bulk thrift store donations. Funding is also needed for Washington Square for computers and dry erase boards.
Washington Square opened in 2004 at 833 Washington Avenue in a 10,000-square-foot facility, and the thrift store opened the following year.
"I knew I wanted it to be downtown to help contribute to the revitalization of downtown Greenville," she said.
Macvaugh and her late husband, Gil Macvaugh, have been Greenville's stalwarts for mental health services since moving to the Delta city 40 years ago. Gil Macvaugh was director of the Delta Community Mental Health Services until his death in April 2009. Anne Macvaugh has a master's degree in social work and founded what would become Washington Square in 1991 after the state moved to the clubhouse model of psycho-social rehabilitation, which provides education and work opportunities to help those with mental illnesses become contributing members of the society.
Washington Square is a city within a city: it provides members with financial services, a cafeteria and short-order snack bar and work and education support.
"We're like an extended family," Macvaugh said, noting that members have hosted baby showers and even a wedding reception for other members.
Of the center that has become like Macvaugh's "baby," she said, "It's my heart. It really is. When Gil died, they embraced me.
"Our members got me through a very difficult time, and we are carrying on with our mission as Gil would have wanted us to."
Washington Square is internationally certified through the International Center for Clubhouse Development.
Members and staff run the program together, and members work toward transitional, part-time and full-time jobs in janitorial, foodservice or clerical positions at businesses throughout the community.
Of the 60 to 70 members from Washington, Sharkey, Issaquena and Bolivar counties, about 40 are working in transitional, supported and independent jobs.
"People have been really wonderful to us," Macvaugh said, noting that Saint Joseph High School, the City of Greenville and television stations are among businesses that have employed Washington Square members.

Up Close With … Ann Macvaugh
Age: 67
High school: Graduated in 1961 from Warwick High School, Newport News, Va.
College: Bachelor's degree in 1961 from the College of William and Mary; master's degree in social work from the University of Tennessee
Key to success: "My husband, the late Dr. Gil Macvaugh Jr. He was my inspiration and my partner not only in raising our children, but we were a mental health team. I'd have to credit him with my success. He was always there to support, listen and guide me."
Coolest thing you've ever done: "Becoming a grandmother to my five grandsons. They're really my heart."
More info: Washington Square, 833 Washington Avenue, is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday; the thrift store, 345 Washington Avenue, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Obama Calls for Improved Gun-Buyer Background Checks Following Shooting
In the wake of a mass shooting at Washington D.C.'s Navy Yard that left 12 workers dead and numerous others injured, President Obama has challenged lawmakers to revisit legislation requiring better background checks for potential gun owners. Though investigators are still trying to identify the shooter's motives, there have been reports that Aaron Alexis dealt with numerous mental health problems. The President told Telemundo, "The fact that we do not have a firm enough background-check system is something that makes us more vulnerable to these kinds of mass shootings … I've taken steps that are within my control. The next phase now is for Congress to go ahead and move." Recently, the Obama Administration proposed new rules that would require background checks for firearm purchases online and at gun shows. He also requested $20 million for the Justice Department, as part of an initiative to equip states to enter citizens' mental health records into databases to be checked before gun sales …

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Title: Tropical plants for a pool-side planter in Cape Coral FL
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Southwest Florida and have a pool inside a cage with a pool planter built into the deck around part of the pool. What kind of tropical plants can I put in the planter that are not root invasive so as to not cause damage to the pool walls.
The first problem we have with dealing with your question is that the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the use, protection and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which the plants are being grown. That doesn't include a whole lot of "tropical" plants, although Florida is the poster state for having non-native tropicals in their landscapes. We can't recommend any of those, because they are out of our expertise.
We will look in our Native Plant Database for plants native to Cape Coral, Lee County, Florida on the southwestern coast of the peninsula, USDA Hardiness Zones 9b to 10a. First, however, we would like for you to read two of our How-To Articles, A Guide to Native Plant Gardening and Container Gardening with Native Plants. In terms of the roots interfering with your pool wall, since we do not know the exact space involved, we will confine our choices to herbaceous blooming plants that will not have such expansive roots, and perhaps a small shrub or two. We also don't know how much sun these planters will get, so we will choose plants without selecting on Light Requirements. You can follow each plant link to our page on that plant, and determine if it is suitable for your purposes.
Shrubs for Cape Coral FL:
Callicarpa americana (American beautyberry)
Gaylussacia dumosa (dwarf huckleberry)
Hibiscus moscheutos (crimsoneyed rosemallow)
Herbaceous blooming plans for Cape Coral FL:
Helianthus debilis (cucumberleaf sunflower)
Ipomopsis rubra (standing-cypress)
Liatris tenuifolia (shortleaf blazing star) - pictures and more information
Lobelia cardinalis (cardinalflower)

Broadcast Pix Granite, iPixPanel Take Home Awards from NAB 2010
(Billerica, Massachusetts) April 22, 2010. Broadcast Pix⢠today announced two of its new products were recognized with awards from two industry magazines at the 2010 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nev., last week. TV Technology gave one of its STAR Awards to Graniteâ¢, the companyâs native HD, 1080p-ready live video production system, while Videography honored the iPixPanel application, which allows an Apple iPad to control any Slate video production system, with one of its Best of Show Vidy Awards.
âWe want to thank TV Technology and Videography for honoring us during NAB,â? said Ken Swanton, President, Broadcast Pix. âItâs nice to know that other industry professionals share our enthusiasm for these new products. Our native HD Granite product line represents a true milestone in live video production, and the iPixPanel app turns an iPad into a powerful wireless control panel.â?
Granite, the new flagship product line for Broadcast Pix, combines the companyâs innovative Fluent⢠workflow software with a new HD switcher and HD server. It provides simultaneous multi-definition SDI I/O for 1080i, 720p, and SD sources â and is upgradable to 1080p. All three Granite models, including the 1 M/E Granite 100 and 1000 and the 2 M/E Granite 5000, provide up to 120 hours of clip store, a graphics system with a new Inscriber CG, a multi-view that displays video and file sources, watch-folders that streamline file import from editing systems, and macros for file-based effects.
The iPixPanel recreates a classic switcher layout on the iPad with preview and program busses, as well as auto transition and cut buttons. With built-in device controls, it can add graphics and clips, create special effects, and control external devices such as robotic cameras. The iPixPanel also features PixButtons, which dynamically change to show the device attached and even the file name currently loaded, so you can tell at a glance what is loaded on every input, key, and file library button.
Nominated by TV Technology editors and columnists, the STAR Awards (short for Superior Technology Award Recipient) showcase and celebrate technological innovations for the media industry. A select panel of engineers, editors, and production and post-production professionals join the Videography staff to judge the Best of Show Vidy Awards, which recognize outstanding achievement in the advancement of the art and science of video technology.
About Broadcast Pix
Broadcast Pix is the leader in integrated live video production systems. Its Slate systems create compelling live video, and they run unique Fluent software that provides a file-based workflow that streamlines production and improves functionality. With its integrated switcher, multi-view, CG, clip and graphic stores, and aspect and format conversion, Slate is a fraction of the cost of a control room to buy, staff and operate. Slate is future-proof, as it is upgradeable to 3G 1080p. Broadcast Pix is based in Massachusetts, with distributors worldwide.

Budget 1999: Backbench Reaction - Acclaim from Labour ranks
Wednesday 10 March 1999
"What a week," said Alice Mahon, a left-wing Labour MP. "First the ramblers and right-to-roam, then Michael Howard going, and then this Budget. It's like Christmas."
The increases in pensions and the fuel bonus of pounds 100 to help pensioners' winter heating bills were seen as the most popular of the Chancellor's give-aways. MPs who had found it difficult to defend the Government's record in their constituencies said they were looking forward to going home. "It shows Gordon Brown has listened to the party. It's a very redistributive Budget," said another Labour left-winger.
One source close to the Treasury team said the Chancellor had paid for the pounds 4bn give-away by keeping to tough spending limits in the first two years. "It's payback week," she said. Ministers as well as humble backbenchers were stun-ned by the number of surprises in the Budget package.
"We were sitting there wondering what he was going to do next. It was one bonus after another," said a ministerial aide.
Nigel Griffiths, the former trade and industry minister, said: "It's Gordon showing that the compassion that drew him into the Labour Party shines as bright as ever."
As the Chancellor announced the 10p rate of tax and a 1p cut in the basic rate to 22p, a senior minister leant across to his colleague and said that William Hague might as well go home. "What can he say? He can wave the white flag and say, `I'm joining the Labour Party'."
As the Tory leader replied by accusing the Government of putting up the tax burden, Labour MPs went off to the tea-rooms to celebrate. Ann Keen, a former community nurse and now ministerial aide to Frank Dobson, the Health Secretary, was delighted by the additional spending for hospital accident and emergency units, which would help to tackle the logjams for patients.
"This Budget recognises for the first time that there is a link between poverty and ill-health. It's a Budget for children and for families. It will go down very well in our constituencies," she said. Labour MPs said the Budget was the foundation for victory at the next election.
