Dec 7, 2012Highly recommended, the great artwork and logical puzzles work together to make a truly memorable experience. The dynamic between Horatio and Crispin is a lot like the friendship between Overmann and Joey from Beneath a Steel Sky, but with their own interesting personalities and quirks. And any game with Logan Cunningham voicing the main character is worth playing.
Dec 9, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't play a ton of point-and-click adventure games, but I saw a couple videos of the game last Thursday and decided that I should check it out. After spending a good chunk of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday playing Primordia, I'm glad I picked it up. Primordia is fascinating for its environment, despite the fact that war-borne post-apocalyptic wastes are not new territory for video games. Every place is beautifully rendered and has a hint of mystery, not just because you find yourself clicking around the screen in search of things you can interact with. Every screen feels like it has a rich history, most of which remains lost under the sand and debris that abound. The central plight of the game … Expand
Dec 9, 2012Highly recommended! I am not a great adventure game player and tested the game, because the world seems interesting to me.
A great game with an excellent Atmosphere and great artwork. The puzzles are easy till hard. Music is very atmospheric.
The price is good. You play more than 10 hours.
Dec 23, 2012Nice game, great atmosphere, awesome retro charm, memorable characters, good storyline. I felt all the soul put by developers into the game. Also I loved the references to my both all-time favorite games - Fallout (the whole post-apocalyptic setting and Easter Eggs about water chip and G.E.C.K.) and Planescape Torment (Horatio and Crispin are like the Nameless One and Morte, besides Horatio is mentioned to have a number of previous "lives" and some NPCs remember him - just like the Nameless One). The puzzles are mostly logical (some I felt illogical - probably I'm just an average quest-gamer: I've only played a couple of quests long ago). So thanks to Wormwood Studios for this game!
P.S. Do not believe the "metascore"!!! The game deserves much better!… Expand
Dec 8, 2012Modern adventure games can often end up feeling low budget in one place or another, but this one feels like it was made by a lot more than the handful of people who worked on it (not including voice-acting in that count).
It's a solid game where the puzzles feel logical and necessary as opposed to just setting up roadblocks to your progress.
I was tempted to write a super long-winded and poetic review for this game, but I'd rather just go play it again (for me that's the sign of adventure greats). For the third time.
Commentary is well worth activating on the second playthrough, it offers a lot of insight into what they were aiming for.… Expand
Mar 4, 2013Awesome game, i don´t know what is it exactly, but it just maked me play it nonstop till i finished it. It has that "something" that makes you want more when you finish it, and that is a sensation i haven´t got for a really long time.
Feb 26, 2013Why are you not playing Primordia? Go play Primorida. It as an intelligent plot, interesting characters, various ways to progress through puzzles and multiple endings.
Jun 1, 2013The atmosphere in the game is fantastic. You have this rusting and decaying world in the colours of rusting metals and flickering lights here and there. Exactly what I expected from the teaser images I saw before purchasing the game. The purposefully crude graphics are wonderful and I fell in love with them even though I usually prefer HD graphics in games. I also liked the voice acting (except the acting on one minor character) and how the actor's voices fit the visual presentations of the characters.
The puzzles were of satisfactory difficulty. Some were plain easy while others made me stuck for an hour or so. The usual method of trying every item you possess on every object on every screen works in most cases. I was surprised to also find quite a few puzzles that didn't rely on items in the game but on the player's knowledge and attention to the displayed events and texts. The point-and-click method of controlling the game worked well. I didn't spot any glitches or bugs.
I saw a review stating that the story isn't fully told in this game but I disagree with this. The backgrounds for all the major players are clarified and told as are the events that have transpired and will transpire in the future. Finding out these stories is in most cases optional or depends on succeeding on puzzles in which you are given a few tries only (you can always save+load though so it's in the players hands if he wants to play to the end even after failing in an optional puzzle).
I bought the game for five euros so considering that I spent about fifteen hours playing it the deal was good.… Expand
Putting the "adventure" back into adventure games!
One of the best adventure games in recent memory! The gameplay is akin to classic adventure games and as such is nothing you haven't seen (gather items/try them on everything that you see), however the atmosphere is also akin to classic adventure games and that's something I've been missing dearly as of late. Please note that the game is not entirely linear and there are a few instances in the game that could be solved in different ways. There are also quite a few possible ending depending on where the player would wish to stand on the subject discussed in the game. There are also achievements rewarded for finding clever solutions to some of the puzzle (which as I mentioned could sometimes be solved in more than one way).
Although the game has an entirely different setting (and a darker overtone) I would like to compare it to the Monkey Island 1 and 2 in terms of how consistent and captivating its overall theme. atmosphere and dialog is. Hooray for the classic adventure genre not being dead! (I'm sick of hidden object and mass production detective pseudo-games)… Collapse
Jul 2, 2013It's a pretty sight watching the point and click adventure genre being restored in it's former glory, and although not every attempt is as succesful Primordia has truely nailed it. The story is solid, the dialogues are both intelligent and witty and never feel enforced. Horatio and Crispin are the best voiced 2D adventure couple since Sam and Max hit the road and there are plenty of lines of dialogue to enjoy. But all the characters look and sound great, and so do the surroundings. There is no need for high resolution as long as one takes great care in details and animation, and this is the case with Primordia. This game feels like the 90's and to me that is a good thing.
Its only weaknes is its rather short length, it's easily solved under 6 hours. The puzzles are fun but don't require extreme amounts of intelligence. Most of them just make sense and are easily figured out. Personally I don't mind that that much to be honest. Primordia has been a great experience to me, and I'll be playing it again in a while to check out the other endings.… Expand
Jul 7, 2013I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem of a game. The post-human world is richly detailed, the story interesting, the puzzles good and a clever hint system to help you along if you get stuck. If you are a sci-fi fan you should give this game a try.
Aug 31, 2013If this game had been released in 1990, which is the period that its graphics, gameplay and story intentionally harp back to, it might well have changed the course of adventure gaming's evolution.
It has all the nostalgia of going back to the Lucasarts and Sierra golden age. (but the game it reminded me of most is actually an immensely obscure Atari ST point-and-click game called "The Grail", due to both games having a combination of a religious protagonist and irreverent sidekick in an alternative fantasy setting)... it's basically the game that the games that The Secret of Monkey Island was making fun of were trying to be... arriving twenty years too late, after everyone has grown up and had kids.
The story is tightly written and lovingly realised, it sticks to the simple idea of a robot worshipping humans in a world where all the humans have probably died out, and embellishes it to the nth degree, with great success. Other recent games have also told this story, but not quite so well.
The highlight of the game is the voice-acting by a robot called "Ever-Faithful Leobuilt". He only says about ten lines but they will make you sit up and listen. The actor deserves an award for it.
The puzzles are also very tight as with all old-school point and clicks there are a couple that are just too 'lateral' for probably anyone to work out without looking up the answers, and one that involved two crucial items being hidden in a five-pixel-by-five-pixel box on a screen you'd never have any reason to backtrack to... but the overall logic and difficulty of them is like "Machinarium" (another game it has a lot in common with). The items you carry round in the inventory are genuinely useful which helps give it realism and none of the item combinations are surreal.
Most of the combinations produce some sort of reaction or quip from the main character or the sidekick, which keeps it entertaining this is a huge achievement to pull off in a game like this, writing something and acting it for nearly every possible thing a blowtorch could be used on.
The story is a tad predictable but only because other games have told it less neatly. There is a ton of stuff that gets mentioned in passing but which the main character never sees because it is only tangentially relevant to him.
The story is also a bit short and there are only about 10-20 locations in the game but it really only needs that many, and any more would have been unnecessary padding.
This is a delicately crafted work of art and only a handful of these games ever reached this quality and you can't see that by reading a review, so go buy it!… Expand
Dec 26, 2012The story is good old fun. Adventure is engaging but not too difficult. All in all good value for money. In fact I'd encourage the author/publisher to make a sequel - the world they created allows for more stories to be told/played. Enjoy!
Mar 3, 2013Primordia is a must for anyone who is a fan of old-school point click adventures. The tale follows robot Horatio and his floating companion Crispin as they try to retrieve a power core stolen from them by a boxy robot with lasers in a post-apocalyptic style world however, the story is much more than this basic premise. One of the central questions the player wants answered is what exactly happened to the humans who presumably once inhabited this Earth and created the robots left behind. Added to this is a tapestry of moral and philosopical themes such as the meaning and existence of free will, individuality, progress, and what constitutes the 'greater good'. These sometimes rather heavy themes are pulled off through excellent writing, and are offset by a quirky humour that runs through the whole game. This off-beat humour and occasional breaking of the fourth wall are reminiscent of some of my favourite, genuinely old-school games such as Simon the Sorcerer, and I think anyone who was playing this kind of thing in the early 90's will appreciate it. The worldbuilding and background detail is fantastic my one gripe is that the game just doesn't go far enough. There are hints of exciting other locations that we don't get to visit, and the larger philosophical themes are never fully explored. As this is a game and not just a visual novel, I should probably mention a bit about the gameplay it's pretty much standard of point click games, and uses the traditional inventory system. Nothing stood out as unique, but equally nothing was inconvenient or jarring. The puzzles are not particularly challenging, and there's plenty of hints on hand from Crispin if one chooses to press him for them (it's also pretty fun to hear him getting annoyed and snarky when you try and use him too many times). I prefer simpler puzzles so the flow of the story doesn't stall, but others might find this game too easy. In terms of visuals, the pixel art is gorgeous, and the colour palette of browns, rusts and muted golds perfectly realizes the dusty, disued world. The audio content is also great, from the music to the voice acting. Even minor characters are voiced, and the robot voice effects are pretty cool.
Overall an 8/10 for this game. The presentation is beautiful both visually and aurally, and beneath this is a solid story rooted in a world that feels like it really could be our future. Horatio and Crispin are likeable and memorable characters to journey through this tale with, and their easy banter creates the emotional anchor to this crumbling planet. Points are lost for the sense that the game could have been bigger both in terms of the number of locations, and the philosophical ideas that never seem to be explored quite as far as you hope. Regardless, 'Primordia' is highly recommended!… Expand
Dec 5, 2013this game... is........ EPIC
if you love philosophy a bit... and a deep story with emotional endings... then this is the perfect game for you
for me its one of the best games i know, and i dont really play many point and click adventure games.. but the story, the music and the art... all together is just an epic experience
Sep 2, 2013Definitely the finest adventure game made since The Walking Dead, and, prior to TWD, probably the best adventure game since the heyday of Quest for Glory! Absolutely buy this game and support Wormwood Studios. Here's hoping for numerous sequels!!!
Dec 11, 2012I give it a 10 for introducing a griping storyline; something that's sadly lacking in the industry of today. Yes, the world turned wasteland thing is played out more than zombie clones; yet this title manages
to make you *care* about the characters, something I can't seem to do with games like Walking Dead and
Star Wars No.70000 for example. It's more than just the interaction of the protagonist and sidekick. It is the deadpan humor with perfect timing when you try out new solutions to a puzzle. But I give it a nine overall for the lack of attention spent on the graphics customization. Even with the setup.exe set to max out all features it manages to look worse than 320 by 400 resolution. And would it have killed them to give you these options in game via the options menu? It is rare that a game comes along that can keep my attention and imagination for as Primordia has.
Buy it if you like games like these, but don't if you think Modern Warfare is the best thing since sliced bread.… Expand
Jun 2, 2013This is one of the best adventure games I've played in a long time. The story is great, which in my book, separates ok adventures from great ones. The graphics leave a lot to be desired, but the story is great, the interplay between the the main characters is awesome and the puzzles are fun and challenging. Did I mention the voice acting is really good? Not many games leave me wishing for more, but this was one of them. I'm also hoping for a some sort of sequel!… Expand
May 29, 2014I generally bought Primordia just because I thought the graphics are cool with it's dark and gloomy style. But the game surprised me really good with it's intelligent puzzles and challenges as well as hidden eastereggs. All dialouges, characters and the alternative endings really make it worthwhile and I'll cheerish the time I had playing Primordia.
It's not a game for everyone, but if you're into these kind of games you'll probably love it.… Expand
Nov 3, 2013When the only "negative" aspect about this game I can think of is that it felt too short, I feel very confident about recommending it to all gamers, both fans of point and click adventure and those new to the genre alike. Beautifully crafted game, with gorgeous artwork and good puzzles (a couple are really hard!), great atmosphere and soundtrack. Above all, the main characters made this game really worth playing. Fans of Fallout and Planescape: Torment will find some thematic similarities. Overall, I had a great experience with this game and replayed a couple of times.… Expand
Nov 9, 2013I did not want the game to end. I wished it were longer since it is so great, but I have to give 10/10 anyway. It is the first game that makes me want to achieve all achievements (Steam).
Dec 29, 2013Let me just say, I adore this game. As someone who enjoys point-and-click adventure games as well as cyberpunk themes, this was a match made in heaven.
The story revolves around Horatio and Crispin, two robots who live in a wrecked ship. Horatio is a believer in Humanism, that humans are the creators, which is a frowned upon idea in the world the live in. They live far away from the city, isolated, until their power supply is stolen and they are forced to go to Metropol. As they search they discover the corrupt system that the city is operating under and Horatio's past.
The characters themselves were enough to keep me playing. I enjoyed each one's own personality, their dialog, their story, it was all well done. The art style very well sets the tone for Primordia and was pleasing to look at while playing. The story was actually surprisingly well done and with multiple endings it just increases the replay value as well as my interests. It was challenging enough to where I felt incredibly accomplished once I finished it, but easy enough to where I didn't rage quite and ignore it for days. I was easily absorbed into Primordia's world and it's certainly a game I will replay more than once (and already have).
Overall, worth the money and the time if you enjoy this genre. A must have.… Expand
Sep 30, 201310 might be over doing it but i don't care. Great voice acting, puzzles are ingenious and the story is very strong and well paced/presented. Every character feels meaningful as does the world they are in. Also length is quite good. Only problems i had were a few obscure items that i missed from over looking an area but Crispin can give you hints if your stuck. I would suggest turning off the hints from the menu thou if you don't want him giving you clues when it isn't needed~… Expand
Oct 5, 2013Awesome, awesome setting, story and characters. One of the most interesting and engrossing adventure games I've played. I really hope there is a sequel one day!
Sep 23, 2013A lovely story, nicely written dialgue's between the two characters, pretty decent puzzles and alternative endings. You can solve some puzzles in more than one way and some choices will effect the rest of the game. Not every choice that gets you further is the best choice. Then there's the great atmosphere and the wonderful music! After all Primordia is one of my top three adventures back in 2012.
Sep 28, 2013This game has amazing atmosphere, thanks to its wonderful artwork, great characters and writing, as well as overall a very interesting gameworld. When combined with solid old-school adventure gameplay with plenty of stuff to do (you're unlikely to do everything on the first playthrough), it's easily one of the best games in the genre in my opinion.
Nov 3, 2013A great classic adventure game with an amazing retro art style and unusual story set in a rare fantasy world that connects science-finstion and post apocalyptic novels
Nov 3, 2013One of the best Adventures i have played so far, and i have started with Monkey Island 1 and 2. If you are into dystopian steampunk then you will love this game.
Mar 16, 2014This is the best games I've been playing for years (and I'm playing AC4 now).
It has a great depth, plot, atmosphere and length (maybe a little too short).
Playing Primordia was like meeting an attractive, intelligent woman :)
It was a pleasure, a well spent time, a lot of thinking - thinking about life, world around me, Ukraine and Russia, my role in it etc.
I recommend this game to every thinking human, every adventure game fan, every cyberpunk fan.
It's an art, not a simple game and it should be rewarded for it!… Expand
Feb 16, 2014Just astounding. The characters are interesting with just enough info that you want to know more. The story is great. The art is unceasingly amazing with an original style that I really loved. The overall story was perfect.

Aug 22, 2014While the story and puzzles falter a bit, there is still something utterly captivating about Primordia. The robots, broken both on the outside and on the inside, claimed for themselves a small part of my heart. And with your heart, not your mind, Primordia should really be approached.
Jul 24, 2013There is plenty to forgive Primordia for, but if you can get past the issues and lose yourself in the game there's a rich and emotional story waiting for you. I'm a bit of a robot nut myself and despite all of my nitpicks about the game I found myself deeply affected by the ending.

On this blog so far, I've talked a lot about massage. As a massage therapist, obviously I see a lot of benefit in educating people about massage and what it can do for them.
But massage is not the only practice that I believe can be deeply beneficial to people in these stressful times we live in.
Meditation has been practiced around the world for thousands of years. It can be as deep a practice as seeking true spiritual enlightenment, or a simple ritual to bring your busy mind back to your body at the end of a long, outwardly focused day.
And no – meditation is not some 'woo-woo' thing that only hippies and monks do.
It's been scientifically proven to improve the state of your brain and body, even when practiced for just a few minutes a day. Here are some of the huge benefits of meditation:
- Meditation slows the mind. This is useful when you are turning a problem over and over and feel yourself falling into that horrible vortex. Meditation can pull you out of that headspace, and even help your brain clear enough to present a solution.
- Meditation increases awareness of the body. This can help you to resolve pain points in your joints and muscles, simply by becoming more aware of your posture and movement.
- Meditation has been shown to decrease the severity of many illnesses. These include anxiety disorder, cancer, depression, high blood pressure and insomnia.
- Meditation increases the flow of oxygen around the body. This increases your body's ability to remove toxins from the bloodstream and tissue, while reducing the heart rate and the presence of damaging free radicals.
There are many other benefits too, but clearly meditation is not some flash in the pan. That said, it can be a difficult practice to learn.
There are many types of meditation, including guided meditation, where you are led through a series of visualisations and steps; mantra meditation, where you repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself; mindfulness meditation, which focuses simply on observing your body and mind without judgment; qi gong, tai chi and yoga are all forms of meditation combined with movement and specific breathing patterns.
It's perfectly alright to try a few different forms of meditation to find which one suits you best – there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to this.

Listen up beauty queens, this Monday morning we're going to treat you to a beauty-inspired history lesson... With the forthcoming cinematic adaptation of The Great Gatsby, the roaring twenties are currently having a bit of a beauty moment. Backstage areas at the Autumn Winter 2012 shows were littered with 20's inspired garments – flapper fans eat your heart out – which were accompanied with equally fabulous beauty looks to match. Think pristine set waves, slicked down side partings, hair clips galore and a pale pallors and perfectly rouged lips a-plently. So chic!
To celebrate this twenties' fabulous fashion frenzy, makeup maestro and Creative Director of No7 Lisa Eldridge has developed a limited edition make-up collection which will allow you to channel your own version of the 'Daisy Buchanan' look.
Aptly titled 'Deco Darling', there's a Loose Powder Highlighter, £12 to buff your cheeks into a luminous golden glow, an Art Deco-style embossed Eye Palette, £10 which gives a nod to the dark and dramatic eye make-up of the era and a new Stay Precise Liquid Liner, £8 so you can smolder with the best of them. And tah dah! A lick of 'Love Red' Lipstick, £9 will add a sleek bit of pizzazz to your get-up, while the more demure Daisys out there can brandish a 'Modesty' coloured pout.
With nails treated to a dose of the dusky 'Speakeasy' shade or the outrageous, glitter disk hued 'Daisy Darling,' £5.50 each, Lisa Eldridge has given us everything we need for our twenties get up. Totally worth the wait, girls.
'There's a look for every woman. Whether you want to opt for a dramatic eye or add a subtle touch of shimmer to your cheekbones, the No7 Deco Darling Collection will leave you looking and feeling as elegant as scenes from The Great Gatsby,' notes La Eldridge herself.
With the collection set to launch on October 31st, we think we have just enough time to try and ensnare Leonardo DiCaprio – soon to play Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann's cinematic adaptation – for our ultimate twenties accessory. One can dream dahling…

It's no surprise to hear that Mango is prospering, we mean hellooo it's hard to beat those stylish designs when they're at high street prices! So we're very proud that our go-to fashion fix store has announced a 20% increase in turnover for 2012. Congrats guys!
The Spanish specialty chain is an effortless crowd-pleaser, with elegant dresses and chic work-wear that really tests the shopping willpower. Is it just us or is it simply impossible to walk past a store without bursting shopping bags miraculously appearing in both hands ten minutes later? Mango opened another 197 stores worldwide last year so we can wipe our brow with relief that there will be plenty to go around.
This surge in profits maaay also have something to do with a certain Victoria's Secret Angel being the face of the brand's latest campaign. When it comes to models we all know that Mango only goes for the crème de la crème, so it's no surprise to see that Miranda Kerr gracing the Mango ads, following in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Milla Jovovich.
Never one to miss out on the action, team Grazia dashed down to our local store to sample the selection and we were certainly spoilt for choice. Take a look at a few of our hand picked faves in the gallery above. If it's good enough for Miranda it's good enough for us.

When are you guys going to add password aging? so that lastpass can tell me even when I'm not monitoring security reports, hey you haven't updated your 'linkedin' password in 2 years, go update it.

Password aging is *not* a good idea, as any decent cryptologist will tell you. It's safer to use a longer, more secure password once than using dozens of insecure, structured passwords frequently.Delete
When required in work situations for the average person, I agree that password aging only makes passwords weaker. People either cycle through things that could be broken in dictionary attacks or are forced to use a more complicated password, won't end up memorizing it because of its short lifespan, and write it on a Post-It right by the keyboard...Delete
Those of us with LastPass accounts, though, are (hopefully!) using more secure passwords; I see little harm in updating complex generated passwords every now and then.

Yea, devs, you really should add that feature. You have a last used time on the vault, get off your ass and write 3 lines of code.Delete
and password aging IS a good idea. If your using "dozens of insecure, structured passwords" your doomed to fail anyway you idiot. Even if you use common (bad) passwords -- say "password" -- you might change it every month and make the next one "password1" then "password2" so on and so forth. If you use strong passwords, having ones that change every so often creates an even stronger policy. if one does on the odd chance get compromised, it will be for a maximum of however long your aging tolerance specifies.
Strong passwords, updated more frequently FTW.

The fact is -- especially in corporate settings where security policies require frequent password changes -- that people will choose lame passwords they can remember and just increment through a digit on the end. Many people write them down.Delete
"if one does on the odd chance get compromised, it will be for a maximum of however long your aging tolerance specifies." -- well, unless of course once the hacker gets it, the hacker changes it, causes damage, and sends your boss nasty emails from your account. Then the compromise has much more enduring effects. PAM
yes updating passwords frequently does generally cause people not using password managers to choose weak ones. I personally do not intend to update frequently (even though last pass means it doesn't matter). My personal intent is to say, 1 year is long enough for any password to not be changed. I just updated a password I know I haven't updated since ~ high school ~9 years ago. Far too long and it was far too weak. I imagine eventually it'll be that long after some lastpass passwords. Also some unfortunate websites make me have really sucky passwords to begin with as they have really stupid limitations leaving me to believe they aren't encrypting them properly. (such as may not be > 10 characters) oh I even have a site that allows only numeric characters as it's a PIN *headdesk*.Delete

Thanks for the Facebook post about this. Quick, easy change with LastPass.ReplyDelete
Thanks again!
Thank goodness I was already using LastPass to create complex passwords so, thankfully my LinkedIn password was a unique password not used on other sites and I can easily change it. Thanks for the heads up.ReplyDelete

Interesting that I have to use "Copy Password" to change my password since lastpass cant detect that I need to fill the form for "Old Password"...ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJune 6, 2012 at 3:54 PM
This is actually not interesting at all. More whiny than anything. Sorry you had to use the copy button like the rest of us.Delete
- AnonymousJune 7, 2012 at 1:05 PM
Actually, it is interesting - since you'd think LastPass could figure out LinkedIn's password form... especially since they are posting articles on the LinkedIn issue. Sorry that you (and several others on here) have such rude, intolerant responses - and feel the need to express them. Have a nice day! :) <3Delete
Thanks and also, please add pronounceable passwords to Firefox.ReplyDeleteReplies
man I kind of wish that was a generate passphrase feature.Delete
- AnonymousJune 6, 2012 at 5:18 PM
The article up at Ars Technica speculates that passwords from a dating site (possibly eHarmony) was leaked as well.ReplyDelete
You really should be more supportive of quality password habits and boldly tell people not to use the password checking tool until after they have changed their LinkedIn password, and then to never again use the same password. It doesn't matter if LastPass is trustworthy, you should promote password safety.ReplyDelete
The password-checking website http://leakedin.org/ has one feature yours doesn't: it tells you not only if your password was in the leaked set, it also tells you if it has been cracked. That would be a Cool Thing to add.ReplyDelete
Add my +1 vote for password-aging options, set on a per-website basis.
I blog about LinkedIn password checker at http://www.liewcf.com/linkedin-password-checker-8098/ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for passing it along, Liew!Delete
so, in the wake of the Yahoo breach, are you going to have a Yahoo username checker? Actually it isn't just Yahoo accounts, here were 35,000 domains affected.ReplyDelete

Quote:The new Marc-Lester process ends up with viewable pics in the post. I like that.
Quote:I used to post a lot more photos, but as stated above its now a much more time and labor intensive process. I have to delete stuff to make room, then resize it under 80k, upload it, fill out a form, then link it to a post. I have enough trouble finding time and effort to maintain my own photo site, let only having to manage a photo gallery here (Even if I had Evan up my storage limit, which I don't want to since again having to maintain it.) When it was as easy as adding to a conversation it was doable, now I don't bother much. (Easier to post them to my server and send a link to friends via e-mail) But I give Evan credit for trying to do big things here. It would be nice to post photo's in threads again, talk about them, then have them go away after a time period so I don't have to bother with them.
Quote:Are you guys all nuts? Were not talking about writing 5,000 lines of Fortran to get a picture posted. What am I missing that everyone is griping about?1. Go to Photo Gallery (now be careful, this requires a mouse click)2. Go to a category that might suit your photo's topic (probably climbing but you can study the options for a while)3. Click Upload (holy crap... another click is required!)4. Here comes the tricky part... you will need to browse out to your hard drive to locate your picture. This one may require phone phone support but Evan has lines open 24/7 so don't get discouraged.5. Click Upload/Submit (oh my god... this is total insanity, another click!)6. You can now add a title or description to your photo (if you want... but by now you are probably sweating from the strain of this process so you may just want to click (not again) the final submit button)I CAN'T believe the nerve of this guy to make such a totally complex process to post a photo.As for the photo being in the topic section and your own gallery... this (IMHO) is good. There isn't really two copies just a place holder for the one copy in two places. I kind of like seeing a nice shot and then being able to click (not again... will the madness ever end!) on "see this users gallery" to see more of their submissions.Lester, stop posting and go climb
Quote:Is it too hard to do the steps? No, but, it's obviously too hard for this bunch of consumers, as evidenced by the near-complete drop in photo posting on this site.
Quote:It don't matter what the product-developers think, it matters what the consumers do.

France Reaches 30% Diversity Among Newborns; Native Youth Get Angry
What share of France's population is "diverse", as the term is used today (i.e., non-European by ancestry)? People wonder, and — actually — it's a bit of a mystery. Reliable racial data for France is hard to come by. An … Continue reading

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
purchased 3 for a bay window for our beach house dining area-they look custom and sleek and it has changed the entire look of the room
Even looks great from the outside!
I happened to call in and get a rep that had just been trained on this product and she was able to answer all my questions. The web site does not do it justice. These blinds are absolutely beautiful!!
Love the look of these blinds...VERY unique. Enjoy the variety of looks. Not sure why they are referred to as room darkening in the product description though. They filter the light nicely, but certainly don't darken, at least by my understanding of the term. Overall, highly satisfied!
We love the way the blinds look in our newly made over bedroom.
We just opened a new fitness studio and needed soft looking shades, but fuctional as well. We had 4 very large windows to cover and I was a little unsure about ordering from an internet site and making my own measurements. But it was all so easy and the shades were exactly what I was looking for! I'm very happy with the price and the quality!
Select Flat Roller Shades are truly a breakthrough in style, efficiency, and function. The striped fabric across two layers creates the open and closed effect. Open the shade so that the sheer stripes coordinate for the open effect. Or coordinate the solid stripes for a closed and privacy effect. The roller shade can be fully raised for a perfect view. As with all of our products, these roller shades come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Need to permanently delete files from your computer, wipe traces of previously deleted files or wipe your hard drive? Download
Delete Files Permanently
Why you should
erase history
How to clear search history
Your browser, Windows and different applications you use store traces of your Internet activity, computer history, personal information you enter on websites, previously deleted data and more in order to provide a more pleasant computer and surfing experience.
But these Internet and computer history traces and unwanted files can seriously compromize your privacy and provide a way for others to view what you have been doing, searching, downloading, running, viewing, etc.
Some history tracks can't be deleted manually as they are stored in different system areas and not always visible by standard means.
Clear All History
keeps your computer clean and helps you protect your privacy by permanently deleting Internet history, Windows history and application history.
Clear All History
also helps you improve and optimize your computer performance by deleting unnecessary temporary files created by Windows and other programs while operation. Although Temporary files and generally not harmful, they take up lots of space and can cause Windows to operate slower than usual.
Clear All History software
you can shred history files before deleting using U.S. DoD 5220.22-M(E) algorithm to completely delete history files from your computer.
What Internet history tracks should be cleaned
While Internet surfing your browser records:
- every website you visited; - every search string you entered in search engines; - what images and videos you have seen, files you downloaded; - logins, passwords, credit card numbers and other information you enter when filling web forms, etc.
And all Internet history tracks can be easily accessed by anyone who can access you computer.
To protect your privacy, you should regularly delete history tracks stored by your browser.
- clear address bar history;
- delete search history;
- clear autocomplete data;
- clear cache;
- delete Temporary Internet Files;
- delete cookies;
- delete index.dat files;
- clear index.dat;
- delete stored passwords;
Clear All History Download
Clear All History supports Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, MSN Explorer, AOL Explorer, Maxthon, Safari, Opera and Mozilla.
However browser history is just a small part of all history tracks stored on your PC. Windows and other applications store lots of unnecessary data and slow down computer performance. To completely clear history tracks from your PC, you should also clear history stored by Windows and applications you used.
How to delete history in seconds
It doesn't matter if you are an experienced PC user or a beginner. With Clear All History you can clean your PC from unwanted files and improve computer performance.

Just days after Sony announced its HMZ-T1 head-mounted Personal 3D Viewer, Vuzix is following up with its own high-tech headset.
Of course, Vuzix is no stranger to video eyewear. However, the new Wrap 1200VR promises new head-tracking technology designed specifically for a "step-inside" gaming experience. Part of that experience includes a 16:9 widescreen, virtual display right on your face, in a sunglass-style package.
Promising a 35-degree field of view, the Wrap 1200VR is supposedly equivalent to watching 3D content on a 75-inch display from 10 feet away. The Wrap 1200VR supports the latest side-by-side 3D video format, with support from more than 100 titles for 3D video and/or head tracking. A few of those compatible titles includes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Fallout 3, F.E.A.R., and more. Besides the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, it can also connect to Windows 7, Vista and XP PCs.
The Wrap Tracker 6TC with compass is the new head-tracking technology, which uses nine sensors to create a 3-degree of freedom solution with automatic drift compensation for smooth, realistic motion tracking.
"The Wrap 1200VR allows our customers to step into another world, creating an immersive gaming or movie watching experience", said Paul Travers, Vuzix's CEO. "With new tracking sensor technology and improved WVGA displays that support resolutions of up to 1280x720 (720p), the Wrap 1200VR provides the best consumer level VR solution available today."
Vuzix is currently selling the Wrap 1200VR on its website for $599.99.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Day Off - Chicago-3
14 May 2001
Day Off - Chicago-3
This morning and afternoon, whilst most of our touring party was still unconscious, a huge storm blew into Chicago, making for pretty spectacular scenes over Lake Michigan. I had planned to go sight seeing, but the torrential rain looked like it was going to take the edge of the pleasure of a gentle stroll. By 3 or 4 things had cleared up, so I ventured out with my buddy Harold who's here visiting. We went out to a suburb called Oak Park, which was home to legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Its a pretty residential area, with most buildings dating back to the turn of the century and many of them designed by FLW himself. We picked up a map from the FLW museum and took a lengthy and leisurely walk around the neighbourhood. I absolutely loved it, as there's some beautiful buildings. He was a man unafraid, was our Frankie. Most amazing of all though is the time he was working. A lot of these places look like classic Art Deco buildings, but they were designed and built in 1905 or earlier, 30 years before Deco went mainstream.
By nightfall we were pretty shagged, due to last night's excesses, so decided to make use of the DVD player in my hotel room. The hotel we're staying in is absolutely fabulous, but as the week has worn on, some of its 'eccentricities' are coming to the fore. They have a DVD library, so having inspected the extensive selection listing, I rang reception and asked them to send up 'High Fidelity'. "Ah, yeah Sar, at once, you hab secon choy?" Second choice.... OK, how about 'The Birds'? "OK Sar, 'Hey Fodilito' and 'Der Bards', yes, right way". I wasn't overly surprised when the phone rang five minutes later. "So sorry, we no have, you have thirt choi for me now?" No worries, then, let's do 'Bladerunner', with a back up plan of 'Dog Day Afternoon'. "Ah yeh, Sar, BadeRarr an Doe Dae Arboloon". I settled back to wait for the next phone call, and was slightly surprised to hear a knock at the door. Outside was our video librarian proffering a DVD. Wesley Snipes in "Blade". Well, it was a valiant effort, I suppose. No, no, I explain before she attempted to escape, this is the wrong movie, I wanted BladeRUNNER. "Ah OK, I go get now". Five minutes later and not entirely unexpectedly, the phone rings again. "No, Brado, sar. So sorry we no have...." Shall I come down and have a look for myself? "Ah yes...." Down in the hotel lobby there was no sign of the DVD librarian, so I asked an entirely different person behind the counter, whom I have never seen before, if I could have a look at the video collection. She rather nonchalantly took me to a large cupboard, pulled open the door to reveal about a hundred DVDs and walked away, without enquiring as to who I was or even if I was staying at the hotel. Little wonder they haven't got much of their collection left, I mused, as I looked along the shelves, picked out 'High Fidelity' & 'The Birds' and went back to my room.

The instrument is as tastefully tailored as Waters' own simple-yet-sophisticated bass work, with distinctive features including black-on-black color scheme (black body and single-ply pickguard), Seymour Duncan® Basslines SPB-3 Quarter-Pound split-coil Precision Bass pickup, knurled black control knobs (master volume, master tone), brass nut, black bridge and strap buttons, vintage '70s-style "Fender"-stamped open-gear chrome tuners and gasketed "F"-stamped neck plate. Other features are a maple neck with vintage-style truss rod and slotted truss rod nut, 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets, gloss urethane finish (body and neck) and deluxe gig bag.

Hello I own this bass and I think it is a monster. Personally I did not like original pickup, so I swapped for 60s style and now it roars. The neck actually is not uncomfortable. At first I was afraid it will be brutally thick, but actually it feels much better than 50s precision bass which I had before. The colour of the neck is more orange than on the site picture and I think it is for the best.
Mine has a little flaw, electronics buzz a little bit, but I am going to have it fixed with copper tape and inductive paint.
I like the huge tone comming from thicker neck, together with alder body and brass nut this bass has plenty of sustain even with flats. Really good instrument. I would maybe prefer chrome hardware and 3-ply bwb pickguard instead of black 1ply, but it is just my preference. All in all great bass that can compete with some US models. Overall great precision bass with a vintage feel.

I'm using this Roger Waters P-Bass for a half year now and I love it! It has dynamic and great sound. I absolutely recommend it for everyone who's searching the classic bright, warm and deep Fender P-Bass tone. In the past I used some low-mid-ranged J-Basses and P-Basses, but I never catched this cool and elegant tone.
Since I play this instrument I hear the same sound from my amp that I heard in my childhood's favorite rock albums.
I also love it's wider maple neck, the black hardware and the brass nut. This instrument is sexy and cool.

I've been playing the Roger Waters model P-Bass for about 2 years now and absolutely love and recommend it. The tone is really rich and full, sounds great on a half-stack or a practice amp. I also play a MM Stingray and while it has a comparable thump on the low-end, it's neither as warm nor bright as my RW P-Bass. To me this is noteworthy since the Fender uses passive pickups while the Stingray uses an active pickup.
The wider neck is a lot of fun to play with, especially with bigger hands that can be clumsy later on in a gig. It's a heavier guitar, but it feels sturdy and easily compensates with the distinctive growl it emits. This bass guitar is a terrific value for the price.
The only issue I've had is that the saddles can loosen from heavy finger plucking, especially on the E and A strings. I attribute this mostly to my own playing style, but is something to look out for as it can cause you to go out of tune midway through a song. Also, playing on the wider neck takes some getting used to - in terms of finding notes, muting, as well as conditioning your hand - but is well worth it for that smoother tone.
I mostly play harder rock music, however I've also used this bass to noodle around on some bluegrass and rockabilly. With the right fretwork and muting you can make this model sound a lot like a stand-up bass.

Wtf is the point of google glass if it has a HANDHELD REMOTE!!!
Don't cry, kiddo. Either don't use it and pray that google-tech can understand your every word, slang and all, or don't buy their product because they added an extra piece of hardware that seems optional.
Just do it.
It's pioneering. I don't expect it'll sell well for the first couple years, but it's certainly opening up a new market that companies will be jumping into.

Junior forward Doug McDermott has picked up two more individual accolades, just days after leading Creighton to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. McDermott was one of 21 players named to the Lute Olson All-America Team, and also repeated a spot on the NABC Division I All-District 16 Team.
McDermott is one of 21 men named to the Lute Olson All-America Team that was announced by CollegeInsider.com. Rather than assemble a first team, second team, third team and honorable-mention, the Lute Olson All-America team is one squad consisting of 21 players. McDermott is the only player to repeat the honor from the 2012 team. Last year McDermott was named Lute Olson National Player of the Year.
McDermott was also Creighton's only representative on the All-District 16 First Team as named by the NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches). The recognition means he is now eligible for the NBAC Division I All-America teams. McDermott was an NABC First Team All-American and All-District 16 pick a year ago, as well as a second-team all-District 16 pick as a freshman.
McDermott second nationally in scoring (23.2) and also averages 7.7 rebounds per game. McDermott leads the nation with 284 field goals made and 834 points during a campaign that has seen him shoot 54.8 percent from the field, 49.0 percent from three-point range and 87.5 percent at the line. He became the eighth player league history to win back-to-back MVC Player of the Year accolades, and is the second to win Most Outstanding Player honors at the MVC Tournament twice.
Creighton finished the 2012-13 season with a 28-8 record, winning MVC regular-season and tournament titles, before being eliminated in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday vs. No. 6 Duke.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring Summer 2013 collection was an '80s dukebox turned up LOUD. The It-models were transformed into look-a-likeys as Gaultier ransacked the dusty wardrobes of the decade's chart-topping icons for his Paris Fashion Week show this weekend.
Karlie Kloss played Boy George with bright clashing patterns and a hat planted on top of those signature dreadlocks. Jessica Stam was trussed up as Madonna on her Blond Ambition tour rocking black mesh with bows in her hair and crosses round her neck. Jourdan Dunn was a convincing Sade in head to toe black with a sleek ponytail and hoop earrings. Then Jacko joined the procession in a red leather jacket and one glove.
A faux David Bowie, Grace Jones and Annie Lennox also joined the tribute band. What's more, a Jane Birkin version walked the runaway in sequined denim channeling 'Je T'Aime... Moi Non Plus'. Yep, the reference may be from the wrong decade, but if anyone can rewrite pop history and invite Ms Birkin to an '80s tribute party, it's JPG, non?
In fact, it was a caberet concert more than a fashion collection - each model giving their icon's signature pose under a disco ball to the sound of an '80s soundtrack. Amanda Lear also took to the catwalk in an electric pink sequin swimsuit with matching monster platforms. Genuis! And who rocked the FROW? A Kiss tribute band in face paint and silver bodysuits, of course.
Take a look through the gallery above to see if you recognise the '80s look-a-like...

JOIN OUR eZINE...
It only takes a second!
It is our goal to keep all citizens of Buncombe County informed in the fastest and most efficient way possible and in a cost effective manner. Sign up for the eZine and you'll get an email every Monday with all the latest news in Buncombe County Government.
Check out the current issue.
N.C. law requires that local county departments of Social Work Services ensure children's safety in their homes. A child protective services investigative assessment determines whether abuse or neglect has occurred and whether other services may be needed to help the family.
Any person in North Carolina who suspects that a child is abused, neglected or dependent should report this to the county Social Work Services. By law, the identity of the reporter is confidential.
Social Work Services is required by law to conduct an investigative assessment when there is an allegation that a child is abused, neglected or dependent. This means that a social worker needs to meet with you and your family to determine if the allegations are true and if your child is safe.
(Please refer to the definitions of abuse, neglect and dependency so you can be familiar with these terms.)
[Return to top]
An investigative assessment must be prompt and thorough to determine if protective services should be provided or the complaint filed as a petition in Juvenile Court. If the allegations include abuse, written notification must be made to the District Attorney and law enforcement to coordinate the investigative process.
The goal of Buncombe County Health & Human Services is to partner with the family and complete investigations as quickly as possible without Court intervention unless your child cannot be protected. It is important to us that all different types of families are respected and that there is a broad range of lifestyles and parenting practices that provide safety and minimally sufficient care for children in our community.
The investigation and evaluation shall include a visit to the place where the juvenile resides. An investigation means that a social worker looks at the environmental, medical, physical, mental health, educational and emotional needs that keep children safe. Other people with helpful information may be contacted for their input. Family input, resources and safety planning are very important in keeping children safe. Your cooperation and consent for the social worker to come into your home for the investigation helps this process. It is our goal to keep children safe and families together whenever possible. For more information see the In Home Services page.
You must give permission for a social worker to enter your home. Social workers will show their identification and clearly explain why they wish to speak with you. They will tell you about the allegations and the process of an investigation.
For safety reasons, law enforcement officers typically escort social workers after hours and on weekends. Should you choose not to cooperate with an investigation, Social Work Services may file an obstruction petition so that we may complete the investigation as required by law. If an obstruction petition is filed, a Court hearing will be scheduled no less than five days after the parent or caretaker is served with the petition and summons.
Our goal is to respect your rights and work with you to make sure your child is safe. Social Work Services must comply with the law to ensure that children in our community are safe and provided with minimally sufficient care. We will work with you to assess family strengths, needs and supportive resources that are part of safety planning.
The Safety Assessment is completed when the social worker first makes contact with the family. This form outlines safety issues and a plan to keep children safe during the investigation. Often there are no safety factors that make it necessary to develop a safety response. If needed, the social worker will discuss with you any safety factors present and ask for your input in making a plan that is specific and detailed.
There may be family members or other supportive people who can help be part of safety planning for your child. You have the opportunity to include your comments and your participation is important in developing this plan.
We believe that most families are capable of finding solutions that can preserve their family while making child safety a priority. It is our job to work with families and their supports to achieve these solutions.
When the risk to your child is high and other means to protect are not reasonable, Social Work Services may ask you to place your child with a relative to avoid custody. For this reason, Social Work Services always asks about relatives or friends who could provide care for your child. State policy requires that a kinship assessment be completed in these cases, as well as a criminal background and child abuse/neglect check.
These placements can help avoid custody and give the parents an opportunity to address any safety issues needed to return the child home. These placements are intended to be short-term and can occur during the investigative process or while Social Work Services is providing services after an investigation.
If abuse, neglect or dependency allegations are found to be true, then the agency provides In-Home services to the family with child safety as the goal. You will be notified in writing of the case decision once the investigation is completed. This should occur within 30-45 days unless the social worker is unable to gather the needed information in that time frame.
A case decision of substantiation or in need of services means that there are safety and risk factors that could result in children being removed from the home without services to protect the child.
The social worker will meet with you to come up with a Family Services Agreement that meets the goal of assuring children are safe, and allows families to say what services they want to use to reach that goal. The social worker will meet with all members of the household several times a month to offer assistance and assess progress on the agreement. Child and Family teams will also meet to look at progress and determine next steps. When the goals of the agreement are met, the case will be closed. If the goals of the agreement are not met within six months, Social Work Services can file a petition with Juvenile Court alleging abuse or neglect and ask the court to order services.
There are some cases where risk to children is high and no safety planning or services can reasonably protect them. In these cases, Social Work Services can file a petition with Juvenile Court alleging abuse, neglect or dependency or ask the Court to protect the child by removal from the home.
Bringing a child into foster care is used only as a last resort to protect children from serious harm. Reasonable efforts to keep children safely at home are first attempted, along with relative or kin placement if needed. We believe that children have the right to safety, basic care and to remain with their families whenever possible. Less than 8% of all children who have been substantiated as abused, neglected or dependent are removed from the home.

Latest update : 2012-09-28
What if the 3% rule was a fantasy?
IN THE FRENCH PAPERS , Fri. 28/09/12: The French government is set to unveil its 2013 budget today at the cabinet meeting and it's grabbing a lot of headlines. Meanwhile, Le Parisien explores just where the "3% rule" comes from.


text: Early work from the great Barbara Lewis – a sublime little set that took soul music to a whole new level! The record has a wonderful approach that mixes older ballad modes with some of the more mellow, more compressed styles that were showing up in the more sophisticated soul of the time – particularly that of some of the male singers from Chicago. Credit here is especially due to genius Detroit producer Ollie McLaughlin, but arranger Riley Hampton also contributes plenty too – mixing strings with subtler jazzier influences – similar to some of his work with Lorez Alexandria or Walter Jackson, although maybe with a bit more of a pop flourish. Perhaps even more compelling, though, is the fact that all the titles on the albums are originals written by Barbara Lewis herself – with titles that include "Hello Stranger", "Bended Knees", "Puppy Love", "My Heart Went Do Dat Da", "Would You Love Me", and "Loneliest Night Of The Year".
