DD1 is Abigail Jean.
DD2 is due in a few months and our top three names are:
Alice Catherine (not sure about usint two 'A' names but I love this! Though am slightly turned off by the fact that it is a Twilight character...)
Eva Catherine (too popular? I don't mind top 50 popular but don't want top 10 popular, if that makes sense?)
Emmeline Cate (not sure I am brave enough to use this. Love Emma but have a close friend is Emma and it would feel weird using it.)
So, which would you pick from our list and do you have any other suggestions?
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:04 AM
I love the name Alice and will be using it for this baby if it's a girl.
The other names are also beautiful but Alice would be my pick.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:05 AM
I love Emmeline Cate. I agree that Eva is too common, and two A names would bother me...also, the nickname Emma is lovely by itself.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:08 AM
They are all beautiful and I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices. I love the name Emme which would make a gorgeous nickname for Emmeline.
I think Eva or Emmeline go better with your DD1's name. Good luck choosing!
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:16 AM
I think they are all lovely but my personal favourite is Emmeline <3

With Abigail I'd go Emmeline.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:25 AM
Emmeline Cate is my pick.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:26 AM
Emmeline Cate for sure!
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:32 AM
All good names, but if popularity is worrying you then Eva/Evie/Eve added together from NSW 2011 figures totals around the same as Charlotte, ie top 10. All the Eve versions and Alice are among the names gaining popularity at the moment.
Separate from popularity though, I would still choose Emmeline Cate!
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:49 AM
Do you plan to abbreviate their names? Because Abby and Emme sounds a little funny. If you were Id go for Alice
Posted 05 December 2012 - 09:50 AM
my vote goes for Emmeline Cate
Original, sounds great.
Only problem is she will have to spell it to everyone, she will get used to it.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 10:36 AM
Can you go Catherine Alice?
Alice and Emmeline are pretty, I love Cate as well.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 10:51 AM
I love all three names, but with Abigail I think Emmeline is great.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 10:54 AM
I love love love Alice, but definitely wouldn't use another A name.
Eva is pretty.
Emmeline is okay, but I do love Emily.
And Kate is gorgeous, spelt with a K, definitely.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 10:58 AM
They are all lovely names but I would go with Emmeline.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:00 AM
I love Alice but I also wondered if like BlueUnicorn says:

Can you go Catherine Alice?
I don't really like Cate standalone, but I like Catherine a lot. Alice is probably my favourite but I'd mind a MN initial match less than FN iykwim.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:01 AM
Love Eva and I think it's goes really well with Abigail too.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:18 AM
Emmeline Cate with Emma for short
I also like Catherine Alice but Catherine is going to become really popular cos of Catherine (Kate) Middleton
How about Madeline Cate? but then you could end up with maddy and abby..
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:22 AM
Wow that's a choice challenge! All great. How to pick?
I actually think Abigail and Alice is a lovely sibset and the same initial thing is kinda nice here, definitely not a negative for me. And Alice Catherine is without a doubt a swoon combo.
Eva goes less well for me.
Emmeline is a gorgeous name and is perfect with Abigail. I'm not sold on the Cate bit however which leaves Alice Catherine in front.
Emmeline Clare?
Emmeline Eve?
I'm thinking Alice Catherine is just too good to pass up Yep, that one!
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:22 AM
I'd go with emmeline. It's just beautiful. My next choice would be Eva.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:35 AM
Thanks everyone for your input.
Not sure it has helped much though lol!
My husband's favourite is Emmeline and I have a different favourite on a weekly basis. Guess we might have to wait and she what she looks like.
I do love Madeline too but it has been vetoed (as has Zoe).
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:36 AM
Alice Catherine (because Alice is such a classic name it doesn't make me think of Twilight at all, and it sounds so completely different to Abigail that having the two A names wouldn't bother me either)

Catherine is less popular than Madeline, so I'm confused.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 11:42 AM
I like Emmeline. I also love Emily as another suggestion.
What about Emilia?
Alice i like and the double A wouldnt worry me although DH wont let me do a double L with our kids.

The under-performing New Zealand Breakers have turned to Casey Frank as a replacement for the injured Alex Pledger.
Tall Black Frank, who usually does the colour commentary on Breakers games for Sky Television, last played in the Australian NBL in 2009 for the Gold Coast Blaze.
He has twice previously been signed by the Breakers - in 2003 and in 2005.
At 2.03m tall, the power forward will add some height to the Breakers who are struggling on defence and facing the prospect of being without Pledger for an extended period.
Frank's signing is subject to approval by the NBL, but if approved he will be free to be picked for Friday's clash with the Melbourne Tigers.

We need drug-free workplaces
|| Print |
|Sunday, April 01, 2007
We find your February story [THE FIX] overdue. There is a great need in Oregon and all over the United States for a drug-free workplace and yet still having employees.

I voted for the medical marijuana measure in 1998 and I continue to support the right of the very seriously ill to use marijuana and its derivatives to combat their illness. However, I regret my vote. What began as a noble cause, unfortunately, like many things, has been corrupted.

An additive for the iron electrodes of alkaline batteries which prevents and counteracts the tendency of iron electrodes to become passive and ineffective. The additive consists of sulfide, selenide or telluride which is sparingly soluble in the electrolyte and has a decomposition potential more electronegative than the final charging potential of the iron electrode. The additive may be placed in the active electrode material during manufacture but may also be placed in the battery during or after manufacture, for example in tablet form. The additive may also be introduced in a manner permitting subsequent activation by electrochemical methods. A number of examples is presented.
1. An alkaline battery containing an iron electrode and an activating additive for said iron electrode, said additive comprising at least one substance from the class consisting of sulfide, telluride and selenide, said substance being sparingly soluble in the electrolyte of the battery and having a decomposition potential which is more negative than the final charging potential of the iron electrode, and said additive being placed in said battery separately from the active mass of the iron electrode.
2. An alkaline battery containing an iron electrode and an activating additive for said iron electrode, said additive comprising at least one substance from the class consisting of sulfide, telluride and selenide, said substance being sparingly soluble in the electrolyte of the battery and having a decomposition potential which is more negative than the final charging potential of the iron electrode, and said additive being placed in the active mass of the iron electrode.
3. An alkaline battery in accordance with claim 2, wherein said additive is formed by chemical or electrochemical reaction in the active mass of the electrode.
4. An alkaline battery in accordance with claim 1, wherein said additive is formed by chemical or electrochemical reaction within the electrolyte.
5. An alkaline battery in accordance with claim 1, wherein said additive is placed in the battery before battery assembly.
6. An alkaline battery in accordance with claim 1, wherein said additive is placed in the battery after battery assembly.
7. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the solubility of said activating additive is at most 10-2 Mol/l up to 70� C.
8. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive consists at least partially of one or more substances from the group consisting of zinc sulfide, manganese sulfide and lanthanum sulfide.
9. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive constitutes 0.01-20% of the weight of the active mass of said iron electrode.
10. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive constitutes 1-5% of the weight of the active mass of said iron electrode.
11. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive is present therein in powder form.
12. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive is present therein as pressed and formed powder.
13. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive is present therein as a paste.
14. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive is present therein as a suspension with particles having diameters smaller than 100 μm.
15. An alkaline battery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said activating additive is present therein as a suspension with particles having diameters between 1 and 10 μm.
The invention relates to storage batteries, in particular alkaline storage batteries. More particularly, the invention relates to an additive for battery electrodes made of iron or iron compounds.
Commercial alkaline battery systems, for example iron/nickel batteries or iron/air batteries are employing iron electrodes to an increasing degree. The iron/nickel system is distinguished by particularly high energy content and low weight with great power capability. By comparison with batteries which use zinc as the negative electrode, these systems give increased operational reliability, and longer life. By comparison, for example, with a cadmium electrode, the iron electrode is substantially cheaper, readily available and is non-toxic. However, commonly used iron electrodes exhibit certain insufficiencies and negative characteristics. Among these are a relatively high degree of self-discharge and a tendency to passivate, especially at high charge and discharge current densities as well as at low temperatures.
For example, iron electrodes whose active mass consists of very pure carbonyl iron become passivated after only a few cycles and thus inoperative. The causes for this passivation are not entirely clear but it is assumed that trivalent iron oxide compounds which are difficult to reduce accumulate on the surface of the active mass of the electrode and inhibit the charging process.
It is known in the art to employ sulfur to counteract the passivating tendency of the electrode. Sometimes the sulfur is already contained in trace amounts in the material during manufacture and at other times it is added to the electrode material during manufacture.
Known in the art are methods in which sulfur or sulfides such as iron sulfide, cadmium sulfide, mercury sulfide, or indium sulfide are added to the active electrode mass. It has also been found that some inorganic an organic sulfur-containing combinations with the electrolyte tend to counteract the passivating effect. The active sulfur travels to the active electrode through the electrolyte.
The concentration of sulfur which has been proposed lies in the range of 0.05-5.0 percent of the weight of the iron in the active mass of the electrode. Selenium and tellurium as well as their compounds have also been mentioned as having a positive anti-passivating effect. Recently lead sulfide has been mentioned as an additive to counteract electrode passivation.
It is the common disadvantage of all these additives that they are unable to guarantee a lasting activation of the iron electrode in long-term operation, especially when the electrode is subjected to high charging and discharging current densities and in particular when the battery is overcharged. It is the property of sulfur in the form of sulfide dissolved in an alkaline electrolyte to be adsorbed at the iron electrode. A majority of the sulfide ions will also diffuse from the electrode through its pores and come in contact with oxygen dissolved in the electrolyte or even with the positive electrode. Thus, an oxidation to produce sulfate ions which are ineffective to activate the electrode is virtually unavoidable. Sulfate is virtually incapable of reduction to effective sulfide ions due to kinetic barriers. Instead, it precipitates as alkali sulfate and can even plug up the pores of the electrode. The use of high sulfide concentrations does not result in any substantial prolongation of the lifetime of the electrode.
The effect of a loss of sulfide is generally the gradual decrease of the battery capacity. In iron/nickel cells, the effect may be masked for a long time if the iron electrodes are of substantially greater capacity than the positive electrodes. However, the effect becomes very noticeable when the battery is deep-discharged at high current densities. On the other hand, an activation of the active iron mass requires available sulfide. Thus, the normal battery operation is necessarily impeded because several careful and conservative charging and discharging processes are required to restore the iron electrode to the normal capacity. In some cases, it may be necessary to exchange the electrolyte which introduces additional cost and time losses.
It has been determined that the long-lasting activation of the active iron mass requires the maintenance of a given sulfide concentration in the electrolyte of the porous electrode. This condition has not heretofore been achieved but is attained for the first time by the provisions of the present invention.
The sulfur, selenium and tellurium compounds used heretofore place sulfide ions in the electrolyte not only due to chemical dissolution, but also because of the electrochemical decomposition on the iron electrode during the charging process. As a consequence, there occur unnecessarily high sulfide concentrations, a rapid migration and oxidation to sulfate and a rapid depletion of the sulfide supply. Any uncontrolled and extensive overcharge can produce a local sulfide concentration which is so high as to block the active mass. It has been found that when the sulfide concentration exceeds 10-2 -10-1 mol/l at 20� C., the activating effect is actually reversed. The result is a very reduced effectiveness of the active mass and a reduced power capability of the electrode. Even at high operating temperatures of up to 70�, the aforementioned concentration of sulfides should not be exceeded. In that case, the reverse effect will occur when the cell cools off while the high sulfide concentration is temporarily metastable.
Another disadvantage of the known art is that the electrochemical decomposition of the metal sulfides, selenides and tellurides causes deposition of metal on the negative electrode and may lead to malfunctions.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide an iron electrode so constructed as to prevent all the aforementioned disadvantages of known iron electrodes and to guarantee reliable operation. It is another principal object of the invention to provide an additive for iron electrodes which permits them to be used without passivation up to a number of operating cycles which greatly exceeds that previously possible even at high current densities for charging and discharging.
These and other objects are attained according to the invention by providing the use of sulfide, selenide or telluride which is sparingly soluble in the electrolyte and whose decomposition potential is more negative than the final charging potential of the iron electrodes. The decomposition potential is defined as that potential at which, by reference to a reference electrode such as for example an Hg/HgO electrode, the compound is decomposed by an electrochemical reaction, for example a reaction in which a metallic sulfide decomposes into pure metal and sulfide.
The normal operating range of iron electrodes is between -0.75 and -1.2 volt by reference to an Hg/HgO electrode in an alkaline solution. In such a system, the active mass is discharged down to the formation of bivalent iron. A somewhat greater utilization of the active mass, results from a discharge down to -0.5 volt with respect to the Hg/HgO electrode due to the formation of trivalent iron compounds. High current densities can increase the range by approximately 0.1 volt in either direction.
The characteristic of being sparingly soluble should be understood to encompass all materials which do not deliver more than 10-2 Mol/l (up to 70� C.) of active sulfide, selenide or telluride ions to the electrolyte.
A commonly used electrolyte is KOH or NaOH in the range of concentrations from 1-10 Mol/l, most often 4-6 Mol/l. In many cases LiOH is added to the electrolyte. However, the provision of the invention is not confined to a particular type or concentration of alkaline solution and mixtures thereof are also suitable for practicing the invention.
The additive according to the present invention is effective when used as a solid and part of the active electrode mass. However, the additive according to the invention is also effective when used as an additive to the electrolyte. Even very small amounts, for example 0.01% of the weight of the iron mass, suffice to provide the desired electrode activation. The activating effect of the additive is not impeded by high concentrations of the additive. Furthermore, the additive according to the present invention does not cause the aforementioned undesirable high sulfide concentrations. By direct contrast to previously known additives, the sulfide concentration in the electrolyte is determined entirely by its solubility in the particular alkaline solution and no longer by operating conditions, such as charging time and charging current density. If reliability is most important while the weight of the battery cell plays only a secondary role, it is possible to permit 50% of the active electrode mass to consist of the additive. Generally, it ought to be sufficient to keep the weight percentage of the additive below 20%. A range which has been found to be particularly favorable is the range of 1-5% of the weight of the electrode.
The additive according to the invention not only results in a permanent electrode activation but also substantially reduces the tendency for self-discharge. Therefore, other known additives for electrodes and electrolytes may be used in an iron electrode system provided only that they are compatible with the sulfides, selenides and tellurides used in the system.
The provisions of the invention are applicable to all types of iron electrodes. However, their effect is particularly great and noticeable in electrodes which are constructed for use at high current densities and deep discharge. The additives according to the invention have been tested with electrodes with and without an inert conducting matrix, in pocket electrodes, tubular electrodes, as well as bonded iron plastic electrodes. The additives are usable in any and all electrode constructions, for example any of those described in the publication "Alkaline Storage Batteries" by Falk and Salkind.
In general, the quantity of additive can best be controlled and the method becomes particularly simple if the additive according to the invention is added to the active electrode mass. The distribution of additive should be as uniform as possible and the particle size allowed to be below 100 μm, preferably between 0.1 and 20 μm, and still more preferably between 5 and 10 μm. However, the additive according to the invention may also be admixed to substances or materials which become part of the active mass only in later manufacturing stages. In principle, the active mass may consist of any iron compound but the preferable substances are known to be iron and iron oxides.
It is also possible to place the additive according to the invention in a location separate from the active electrode mass. It is required only that the additive be contacted by the electrolyte. The additive according to the invention even provides a reactivation of already passivated iron electrodes in battery cells which have been used for some time, for example by the suspension of the additive in the electrolyte or by the positioning of additive in tablet form in the vicinity of the iron electrodes. For the latter purpose, the powder having the above-described characteristic of having a grain size of less than 100 μm can be pressed into tablets. Here too, a grain size of between 0.1-20 μm and especially between 5 and 10 μm is preferred to obtain the rapid concentration of the activating additive in the electrolyte. Two examples of the substances which can be used according to the invention are zinc sulfide and manganese sulfide of which all known polymorphs are usable. The additive may be admixed as a powder to the active mass of the electrode during its fabrication. It can also be placed in the active electrode mass before or after cell assembly, for example by the admixture of zinc metal to the active mass and the addition of at least stoichiometric quantities of, for example, alkali sulfides in the electrolyte. The activating substance may be regenerated during the operation both when contained in the active electrode mass as well as in the electrolyte, for example by the addition of alkali sulfide to the electrolyte because zine remains in solution as zincate without change and is precipitated in the electrode as zinc sulfide. The precipitating agent for zinc can also be sulfur-containing inorganic or organic substances which are reducible to sulfide electrochemically or which are chemically transformed into sulfide in the alkaline solution, such as thiosulfates, mercaptanes or elemental sulfur.
When added to the electrolyte, the activating additive is normally introduced in the solid state, for example as a powder. This manner of introduction is possible both before and after the cell assembly. A still further possibility is the precipitation of the additive before or after the cell assembly, for example by the solution of a zinc compound and an alkali sulfide in the electrolyte. During the operation, the activating material is regenerated in the above-described manner.
The additive according to the invention will now be further described in a number of preferred exemplary embodiments.
The starting material for the construction of the iron electrode was carbonyl iron with a particle diameter of 2-10 μm, sodium chloride with a grain size from 30-50 μm and zinc sulfide with a grain size from 5-10 μm. Sodium chloride constituted 40% by weight and zinc sulfide 2%. After intensive mixing of these components, they were pressed-formed into an electrode having a surface area of 100 cm2 at a pressure of 1.5 t/cm2. The electrode was then sintered at 820� C. in hydrogen or some other non-oxidizing atmosphere for one hour. When the sintered electrode had cooled, the sodium chloride was removed by leaching in water. The electrode was formed in 6 M KOH and then produced 0.31 Ah/(gram of active mass) until a discharge level of -0.8 volt with respect to a Hg/HgO electrode and 0.46 Ah/g up to a final discharge voltage of -0.5 volt. After 800 cycles of operation, no reduction of capacity or any irregular behavior of the discharge curve was noticed.
An iron electrode was produced in the manner described in example 1. Zinc sulfide was replaced by manganese sulfide with a grain size of 10-30 μm and a weight of 5% of the active electrode mass. After formation the electrode delivered 0.3 Ah/g up to the final discharge potential of -0.8 volt with respect to a Hg/HgO electrode in a 6 M KOH solution. The electrode capacity was undiminished after 700 cycles of operation.
A mixture of magnetite with a grain size of between 0.5 and 2 μm was mixed with zinc sulfide between 5-10 μm and graphite powder to serve as the active electrode mass. The percentage of zinc sulfide was 2% by weight and that of graphite 8% by weight. This mass was placed between perforated steel foils and formed into a pocket electrode under compression. The discharge capacity with reference to a Hg/HgO electrode down to -0.8 volt was 0.27 Ah/g of active mass and did not change during 700 cycles of operation.
Carbonyl iron and zinc sulfide were mixed with water to produce a slurry which was introduced into a steel fiber felt. The proportion of zinc sulfide was 5% by weight and the grain sizes were the same as those listed in example 1. The electrode maintained its initial capacity of 0.37 Ah/g down to a final discharge potential of -0.8 volt with respect to Hg/HgO in 6 M NaOH in 800 cycles of operation.
An iron electrode was constructed as in Example 1 except without the addition of sulfide. Zinc sulfide was then placed below the iron electrode in tablet form. The operation of the electrode was unimpeded.
Carbonyl iron and 4% by weight of zinc metal was mixed in water to form a slurry which was placed in a steel fiber felt. In the formation electrolyte, sulfur was contained as alkali sulfide. After a few cycles, the electrode reached its formation capacity of 0.3 Ah/g of active mass. The capacity remained undiminished for the subsequent 900 cycles.
Carbonyl iron and 5% by weight of zinc sulfide with the grain sizes described in Example 1 were mixed in polyvinylalcohol solution to form a paste which was pressed on a copper mesh and dried. The electrode performed without failure in 800 cycles after formation.
Three iron electrodes constructed according to the prescription of Example 1 were combined in a battery cell with four nickel oxide electrodes and with porous separators. The electrolyte was 6 M KOH with addition of 0.4 M LiOH. The cell was charged for five hours and discharged for one hour down to a final discharge voltage of 1.0 volt. The positive electrodes were intentionally made with larger capacities than the negative electrodes. After 950 cycles of operation, there was no change in battery capacity nor any change in the voltage curve during discharge.
The foregoing examples illustrate preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention and other embodiments and variants of electrodes constructed according to the invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Like Us on Facebook Follow @franchiseherald
According to Sportsradio 950AM and 102.9FM host Dave Mahler, Hope Solo and Jerramy Stevens tied the knot mere hours after Stevens was released from police custody pending an investigation into a suspected assault against Solo.
According to a police report, Stevens was arrested after police were called to an altercation in which Solo's older brother, Marcus, used a "stun gun" while allegedly fighting a group of males who were not invited to a party at the house.
Marcus Solo, 34, called the police to the house, and they found him with blood on his forehead and knees, and a freshly bruised eye, police said. Meanwhile, Hope Solo had blood and a laceration on her elbow. She was intoxicated and yelled several times to her brother, "Don't say anything to them, Marcus," according to the police report.
According to Stevens, Hope Solo, 31, and him had been arguing about whether the couple would live in Florida or in Washington state after their Tuesday marriage, according to the police report.
According to the report, the Solo siblings gave police different stories about how the fight began and Hope yelled, "Don't say anything to them Marcus" several times while he was being questioned by police.
Solo is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who helped lead the U.S. women's soccer team to victory at the 2008 Beijing games and most recently, in London last summer.

Sep 6, 2011It's easy to say that this is the best Resistance title, but it's also easy to say that it's not Insomniac's best game.
Sep 6, 2011Resistance 3 is far superior to its two predecessors and it's one of the most powerful and beautifully crafted shooters on the market for PlayStation 3.
Oct 17, 2011Even if its multiplayer is a bit generic and bland, Resistance 3 is hands down the best game in the trilogy.
Sep 30, 2011This may not quite be the pièce de résistance finale that franchise fans desired. But a good-not-great single-player campaign story for the trilogy conclusion with a less interesting protagonist is easily overcome with a fantastic variety of alien-eliminating weaponry, solid FPS controls that restore gameplay functionality to fan-favorite quality with the reintroduction of the weapon wheel and health bar, and good-not-great multiplayer.
Sep 7, 2011It's just a shame that Insomniac Games seemed so hell bent on pushing the dramatic angle that got in the way of a great example of a solid first-person shooter.
Sep 9, 2011A little more spit and polish could have significantly elevated the title to the ranks of the FPS elite. The old school gameplay was a winner in my book; just don't expect to be wowed by the plot or anything else.
Sep 29, 2011Resistance 3 failed to outmatch its main competitor – the Killzone series – but still is a great game. It's got a tangible atmosphere of threat, a personal story that does not drip with cheap pomposity, a set of 12 fantastic upgradeable weapons that are fun to use and very good visuals (if you don't look at textures up-close). Boss battles are somewhat disappointing though and enemy AI leaves much to be desired. There's also nothing groundbreaking here but good old FPS standards were put together brilliantly. [October, p.44]
Sep 7, 2011All in all, Resistance 3 delivers a very enjoyable campaign with some incredible action sequences. Competitive multiplayer is quite well done, and adds quite a bit of replayability to this package. If you're a PS3 owner who loves first-person shooters, Resistance 3 simply shouldn't be missed.
Sep 5, 2011There's a greater feeling of depth, life and narrative to the tale and the gunplay is satisfying even if we do have to reserve some criticism for the AI, which still shows itself to be rough around the edges at times.
Sep 28, 2011A considerable step up for the series and results in a game that should suit every gamers tastes.
Sep 8, 2011We had lots of fun with Resistance 3, though it doesn't revolutionize the shooter genre.
Oct 3, 2011Overall Resistance 3 is a notable step up in the series and has a lot of offer; it is highly polished and c some enjoyable set-pieces and encounters.
Sep 12, 2011With solid graphics, great sound, and some very addictive gameplay, including the multiplayer component, Resistance 3 is a great way for the PS3 to start the fall/winter season of gaming
Dec 16, 2011As a conclusion to the franchise (no doubt pending an awkwardly justified fourth game and spin-offs), Resistance 3 manages to send it off as gracefully as possible.
Sep 22, 2011Its campaign is a thrill ride of rollercoaster-like set-pieces, huge boss battles, and consistently fast-paced action, and its multiplayer is a solid, enjoyable, anarchic complement. If you own a PS3 and you love first-person shooters, you would do well to add this one to your collection.
Sep 19, 2011With only a few minor issues, Insomniac has produced not only the best Resistance game to date, but one of the best FPS games I have ever experienced.
Sep 9, 2011Doesn't exactly rewrite the book on first-person shooters, but it offers thoroughly enjoyable gameplay, with a low learning curve, set against a strong narrative. Fans of the previous games will find much to love here, and even newcomers will find it a good jumping on point thanks to the intuitive controls.
Sep 7, 2011It lacks the connective tissue to join its bite-size skirmishes into a seamless epic, but as a lightweight pick-up-and-play romp, Resistance 3 is hard to resist.
Sep 6, 2011First-person shooter design has reached an evolutionary ceiling and desperately needs some mutant DNA to push it onwards and upwards. Resistance 3 could have provided that genetic jolt; but Insomniac has chosen to look back to how we used to play rather than grapple with how we could play in the future. As understandable as it is, that cautious approach results in a game that is extremely enjoyable, but never as imaginative as you want it to be.
Sep 7, 2011Though being a well-crafted game that will surely please fans of the series and genre, Resistance 3 fails to reach pure excellence due to some unattended promises and a far too classical concept that lacks any sort of innovation. It will guarantee hours in fun in both single player and multiplayer, but Insomniac could have surely done something more if its aim was to reach the top.
Sep 7, 2011Resistancve 3 ends in a good way, without risking too much and staying true to the original formula. For those who follow Resistance from the beginning, it should be a mandatory acquisition.
Sep 6, 2011Resistance 3 is the peak point in the franchise Insomniac's been working those latest years. It may or may not be too late, but it's a great game nonetheless.
Sep 5, 2011Despite trying to act as a gritty tale of survival, Resistance 3 is in essence just a regular shooter, with far more action filled firefights than lurking tales of humanity. Thankfully it's a well made game and has an impressive arsenal of excellent weapons, and the multiplayer - including a much-missed co-op mode - is a lot of fun.
Sep 7, 2011Resistance is a solid PS3 Exclusive. The plot is muddled and messy, but the old-school gameplay and the reintroduction of the weapon wheel save the day. The COD-Like multiplayer is, though derivative, rewarding and funny.
Oct 18, 2011Improved over the previous editions, Resistance 3's showcase of the human condition vs. adversity pulls together with the right mix of drama, action and game mechanics to be one of the marquee shooters of the year.
Sep 28, 2011It is definitely a more personal experience than Killzone 3 or even past Resistance games, with a more focused story and linear mission path featuring higher stakes - fighting for family, friends, and the entire world.
Sep 6, 2011With no reason to connect with these characters and little in the way of action to separate itself from the packed FPS crowd, Resistance 3 makes it clear that the series doesn't belong amongst the triple-A competition in the genre.
Oct 3, 2011From the single-player campaign to co-op and competitive multiplayer, Resistance 3 is a considerably more intimate experience. It's arguably the best installment to date, but I still think Insomniac Games can do even better.
Sep 9, 2011Resistance 3 treads a line between homage and original work, loads the player up with amazing guns to play with, packs in a passably stocked multiplayer mode, and offers an amazing single-player campaign.
Sep 6, 2011There's no argument there: Resistance 3 is the best episode of the series. More enticing, more polished, and more fun. Some shortcomings prevent it from reaching the top of the genre, though, but it still comes out as one of the best FPS exclusives on the PS3.

Sep 8, 2011The unique multi-player part from R2, has been removed. The PVE part was the greatest thing ever seen, and now they totally destroy it with just an abnormal FPS. Multi-player part: PVP only. This is just a Half-Life, U-Torrent, Quake look a like.... Have never ever been so desapointet, was so looking forward for this game. Dead Island will be my thing instead.… Full Review »
Sep 6, 2011Nothing to write home about. The only unique bit from r2 has been removed. Fails to break the mold and doesn't differentiate from anything else in the sci fi fps genre.… Full Review »
Sep 6, 2011Just finished the campaign mode after my midnight pickup from Gamestop. To fans of the series, you will be very happy about what Insomniac has done to the game. It does feel a bit more arcadey as far the feel of the guns but I feel like it is definitely for the better. The upgrade system is fantastic and is a great addition. The story is everything you have come to expect from the Resistance series which is a definitely a plus and the dire situation injected into the story is perfectly conveyed throughout the entire game. I am going to play through again in co-op and finish upgrading my weapons and I haven't touched the multiplayer yet on the retail copy. Everything I experienced from the beta from the last month leads me to believe I am going to spend quite a bit of time with multiplayer from here on out. The multiplayer in my opinion is just as polished as COD, Halo & Battlefield but you are just dealing with a more basic concept in R3 and not as intricate. The single player competes with any of those games as well and is very immersive so I would suggest this game to newcomers to the series as well. I could not have asked for any more in my Resistance experience.… Full Review »

You'll like the quality of the art and feel of this sturdy board game that can be played in multiple ways�all of which challenge kids to use their listening and looking skills while also learning the rules of turn taking and the ups and downs gamesmanship. There are enough rounds so that kids can experience the fun of winning and inevitable alternative. There's no reading required but the games do play on matching, memory, color concepts, and listening. Cards can be used for Bingo style game, concentration, and sequencing. Develops a child's ability to see and hear differences as she finds not just a green dress, but a green dress with the purple bow. That kind of detail calls for more than chance, but is an important skill needed before reading. A good choice for 3-5.
Use this for language development as well as matching skills. A rich variety of games that can be adapted to your child.

For five-year old dog lovers, Diggity Dogs is an ideal way to sharpen visual and social skills. Players each get a dog card at the start of the game that indicates three things this dog needs. Each player then takes two "go fish" style cards that show objects the various dogs need, such as a bone, ball, bed, a dish, etc. Players take turns collecting cards from the slush pile or barking and asking one of the other players if he has a needed card. When a player get all three objects pictured on her dog card she gets to adopt the dog and collect another dog. The player with the most dogs at the end of the game is the winner. A fun matching game for 2-4 players. For cat lovers, take a look at Kitten Caboodle, same idea but with kittens.

An active fun game that's a lot like an egg race only this one is played with pancakes--made of plastic. Here's how it works. Players pull a card that shows a stack of pancakes with strawberries, blueberries, banana slices and chocolate chips. Players have to race to stack and serve a pile of pancakes that matches the order card. Teams or two players compete to carry the pancakes on the spatulas and be the first to make a stack topped with a pat of butter. This is an active game that can be played like a relay race with teams or a two-player match. Challenges visual matching, dexterity, and speed. A good party game. They say 4 & up, we think older 5-8's will like it best.

If you like Jenga-styled games, this is a fun variation. At first we could not imagine that it would work. The idea is that you set up four stories of towers (each has ten columns holding up the ring). Each player takes a turn pulling out columns and then adding that column above. While we had our doubts, it turns out that we could add all the other levels. Great fun--but we believe this is a much better game for the 8 & up crowd, not the marked 4 & up. The tension, not to mention the fine motor skills required to play this game will be too much for many kids (and certainly most 4 year olds).
Age: Early School Years, Later School Years. Award Year: 2014. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Dream Cakes is great fun to play. The idea is to create the "biggest" cake by adding to the cake plate with tiers, frosting, and toppings. There are LOTS of pieces to this game designed for 2 to 4 players. On your turn, spin the wheel to determine which kind of cake piece you get to add to your cake. The added fun comes with the cake measuring stick. Depending on how tall your cake is you get ribbons with point values. The player with the highest points (when there are no more pieces to play) wins! The pieces are sturdy and have a lovely storybook quality to the illustrations.

Unlike many dice games, the goal in Dodge Dice is to avoid points. The game comes with 10 dice. One is the "penalty" points die that tells you how many points you'll get if the round doesn't go your way. There is also an action die that makes things happen like all your points are doubled or tripled (not good!) or you can pass all the points to another player (mean but good!). There are also skip chips that allow you to avoid the penalty points. Marked for 8 & up and designed for 2-6 players. Rounds will be fast. Our testers thought this was a fun twist on traditional dice games.
Age: Early School Years, Later School Years. Award Year: 2014.
We're not going to lie. We got hungry for sushi while playing this fun card game. For a generation of kids that are familiar with sushi, this will be a hit. The goal is to get the highest scoring collection of sushi. For example if you add wasabi to your nigiri - you'll get triple points. Each player gets a certain number of cards to begin (depending on how many are playing). From that hand you keep one card, place it face down. Now here's the fun part-- you pass your hand to the next player. This keeps going until all cards are played.
There is some strategy involved in what cards you collect. For example if you have the most number of puddings, you get six points -- but if you don't the have most - you have to subtract six points from your total score.
The instructions take some time (and a grown up) to figure out but then it starts moving quickly. Marked for 8 & up and rounds take about 15 minutes to play for 2 to 5 players.
Age: Early School Years, Later School Years, Tweens. Award Year: 2014. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Who Am I is a two player attribute game that is something like the classic game of Battleship for younger players. Each player picks one animal face that the other player cannot see. Players take turns asking questions about their opponent�s animal. Does your animal have glasses? If the answer is no the questioner crosses out all the animals with glasses. A marker is provided with a sponge eraser that removes the markings at the end of each round. By a process of elimination players deduce what animal their opponent has selected. This is a game that requires players to look at details and listen to clues. The game board reverses to reveal a whole other set of creatures. We have had other similar games, this one is slightly more complex and beautifully executed. They say 4-7, we think fours can play this with a partner but not solo. That said this is an excellent choice for beginning readers who need to learn about looking closely at details. Instead of looking for the fine difference between bed and bad, here the game is played with pictorial details that are less abstract for beginners.

A ducky cooperative game that develops color matching, puzzle building, and fine motor skills. The big playing board has the images of three different four-piece puzzles. Players use the spinner on their turn that tells them what color puzzle piece they can take and match on the playing board. If you spin a rain-drop you must put one under the cloud. The object is for everyone to cooperatively finish the puzzles before there are no rain-drops left. So you are all playing against the game and the rain. Good fun, as well as helping beginners use their fine motor skill by learning how to rotate jigsaw puzzle pieces and fit them together. 3 & up.

A new take on the classic Bingo game with beautiful illustrations from Melissa Sweet. Comes with six game cards, 36 game pieces and a cotton drawstring bag. The pieces feature a wide-range of things you find in nature: cardinals, butterflies, a pine tree, cactus, flowers...you get the idea. Also new and noteworthy, Parlor Bingo. It comes with old-fashioned numbered cards and a master sheet. The "markers" come in a cotton drawstring bag.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Make Aboriginal Day a holiday -- for everyone
One of my favourite holidays is almost here -- June 21, the longest day of the year, is also Aboriginal Day.
Check out free Aboriginal Day events at the Forks today. Then there's a free concert tonight which everyone -- aboriginal and non-aboriginal -- is invited to come out and enjoy.
But at each Aboriginal Day celebration I've attended over the years I've noticed something similar every time. It's usually 98 per cent aboriginal people taking part in the festivities.
Sure, it's OK since we know how to have a good time, but there's room for everyone to come join in on the fun.
Maybe part of the problem is most people think Aboriginal Day is just for aboriginal people. But this day is for all Canadians to be part of and enjoy.
Aboriginal Day is similar to Remembrance Day -- a time of reflection to honour the contributions a group of people have made to this country. In this case, we're celebrating the valuable contributions aboriginal people have made.
After all, we're one of the founding people of this country.
One way to fix this would be to make Aboriginal Day not just a national holiday but a statutory holiday. Sure, some bureaucrats would argue it'd cost millions to do this from a business perspective, but I think it would actually boost office morale and productivity to take a day off in June.
Aboriginal Day would be hard to ignore if it meant a day off work for everyone. It would be an indicator that Aboriginal Day is a "real holiday" and underline its importance to the general public.
Well, if you can't make it down to the celebrations, then here's a few simple ways you can have an Aboriginal Day celebration of your own.
Tip 1) Read an aboriginal book.
This one's easy. Just head down to your favourite bookstore and make a beeline for the aboriginal section. Read a few back cover blurbs and pick out a something that appeals to you. This is one of the easiest ways to learn more about aboriginal people.
Tip 2) Host an aboriginal feast.
If there's something we like to do at celebrations it's to enjoy a big feast with our friends and family. Give it a try, and you don't even have to cook it all yourself.
Hold a potluck feast and see if everyone can make a dish with an aboriginal ingredient; there's corn, cranberries, beans, squash, salmon, seafood, mushrooms, wild rice, maple syrup. Once you start researching you'll find there are tons of ingredients to work with.
No dressing up in headdresses and fringe required, but if you feel like it, go for it.
Tip 3) Learn a few aboriginal words.
This one is a little bit more work, but well worth the effort.
But since there are 65 distinct aboriginal languages in Canada alone, you've got lots to choose from. Here in Manitoba the most prevalent languages are Cree, Ojibway, Dakota, Dene, Michif, Inuktitut, and Oji-Cree.
There are lots of resources out there, from libraries to books like the Pocket Ojibwe: A Phrasebook for Nearly All Occasions by Pat Ningewance. It's a handy resource you can fit in your purse or backpack.
Or you can pay a visit to a place like the Aboriginal Languages of Manitoba office on Sutherland Avenue. They've got an amazing number of resources to learn from and even offer language classes.
If you're more of an online surfer you can also visit a few websites perfect for the person seeking to learn some basics of an aboriginal language. Try the Online Cree Dictionary at www.creedictionary.com if you want to give Cree a try. There's even a children's section and an iPhone app you can download. Howa!
A good site for Ojibwe is www.ojibwe-language.com, and The Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center (www.nativeshop.org/learn-dakota.html) has a set of 12 lessons with a pronunciation guide.
Meegwetch! Now get out there and celebrate.

PM voices concern on jailed Canucks
Says Egypt hasn't stated why pair held
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper is joining the family members, friends and colleagues of two Canadians arrested in Egypt in expressing concern for the safety of the men.
John Greyson, a Toronto-based filmmaker and York University professor, and Tarek Loubani, a doctor in London, Ont., were in Cairo and on their way to Gaza on Friday when they were arrested by Egyptian police.
The federal government has yet to be told on what basis Egyptian authorities detained the pair, Harper said Monday.
"We are obviously extremely concerned about the arrest and treatment of the two Canadian citizens who have been detained in Egypt," Harper said. "We don't frankly know what evidence supports any such arrest, and we have expressed our concerns directly to the Egyptian government."
But it appeared to be a case of "two people being in the wrong place at the wrong time," junior foreign affairs minister Lynne Yelich said in an emailed statement. Yelich also posted on Twitter the Canadian ambassador in Cairo paid a visit Monday to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, demanding Egyptian authorities explain the detentions.
A number of other diplomatic levers were being pulled by the government to seek their release and to obtain more information.
A source at the Department of Foreign Affairs said Egypt's ambassador was summoned to meet Monday with senior Canadian officials in Ottawa to discuss the detentions.
The Canadian ambassador in Egypt met with the pair Sunday in the Cairo prison where they are being held and consular officials were expected to meet with them again Monday.
Although Canadian consular staff have been in contact with the pair, Egyptian authorities have yet to justify their detention, said Justin Podur, a friend of both men.
Greyson's family says in a statement they're confident the Canadian Embassy in Cairo is doing "everything they can" to free the pair.
In the same statement, Loubani's brother said while he recognizes Egypt is going through a painful transition, detaining a doctor and filmmaker without due process is "clearly a step in the wrong direction."
"The Egyptian transitional government has frequently repeated its commitment to democratic values and the rule of law," said Mohammed Loubani. "The continued detention of John and Tarek clearly falls short of that commitment."
Two medical groups, a film festival organization and York University are calling for the release of the two Canadians. Thousands have also signed an online petition demanding the pair be set free.
