"comfortable, convenient destination"
Enjoyed the convenience of breakfast included with our stay - lots of variety.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"college visit"
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express the night before a visit to Lewis and Clark College. It was in a great location between places to eat dinner and the college. Easy access. The rooms/ beds were very comfortable. The included breakfast was great! Lots of options. The only critic--breakfast foods needed a little more space. There was no where to get […] out of the way while fixing your food. Caused a traffic jam of people when it got busy. Definitely a good value! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are very glad you enjoyed your stay, and we hope that your tour of Lewis & Clark went well. We also appreciate the feedback on our breakfast area. It can get a bit crowded, especially when everybody goes for the cinnamon rolls at the same time. We thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to see you on your next trip through the Lake Oswego area!
"Nice hotel. Easy access to local attractions."
Enjoyable stay with the family. Pool area could use more seating. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego Thank you so much for your comments and recommendations, I look forward to sharing them with our ownership in order to improve our guest experience. However, we are pleased you and your family had a nice stay and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit.
Excellent value, clean, comfortable, room nicer than I expected. The only issue was noise: we could hear our upstars neighbors clumping around, but it wasn't terrible. Recommended.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are so glad that you had a nice time while staying with us. It's important to take in pride in the work you do, and I'm glad our staff was able to show you how proud we are of where we work and what we do. However, I am sorry to hear that you had an issue with noise above you. Should you be in the area again, we hope to see you again.
"Good hotel, comfortable but breakfast is awful."
We got stuck in a hotel for a few days before moving into our new home. It was comfortable and the staff was nice. However the heater/ac unit didn't work well. It was either super hot or cold. We resorted to just opening the window to get cooled off. The breakfast was awful too. The hot breakfast wasn't even edible. The pastries and cold cereal were […] about the only thing we found to eat. Unless there were no bowls! Since the hot food was not edible there were no options for dairy or gluten free people either. Our last day there we even had to stand outside for a place to try to eat breakfast. The hotel itself wasn't bad so I don't feel I can totally rate it badly. Especially if you can live on bagels or cinnamon rolls (unlike me) you'll love it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego Thank you for taking time to offer your feedback. We are pleased to hear that a majority of your stay was to your satisfaction. If the issue with the Air conditioner was reported, hopefully our maintenance staff was able to resolve it for you in a timely manner. In regards to our breakfast, we are exited to announce that we have added healthier options, so we hope you stay with us again so you can check out the improvements for yourself. Again, thank you for your feedback, and we hope you have a wonderful day!
"Excellent hotel, except pool out of service"
Excellent room, quiet, clean, convenient. Friendly staff, gret breakfast. Guests should be notifed when pool is shut down when they book!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, as well as your patience and understanding. There is never a good time for renovations, and unfortunately we were not supplied with advance notice by the contractor to have such information posted to our site. However, in the process of reviewing all of our guests' comments we have formulated a plan should such an occurrence happen in the future, all thanks to you and the rest of our customers in during its closure. Should there be any guests making their reservations from a third party site, a request will be made with the booking site to contact all those impacted as personal guest information is not given to the hotel. Thank you again for staying with us and we are truly sorry that one of the most vital amenities of a vacation was not available.
"great area"
excelantGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego Thank you for taking the time provide your feedback, and we are pleased that everything was to your liking.
Great experience...except the in-room refrigerator was very noisy all night long.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are pleased to hear that the majority of your stay was excellent. Our maintenance staff routinely do preventative maintenance on all of our rooms, so I will make sure they and our housekeeping department are vigilantly looking. However if you have an opportunity to contact the hotel with your last name I will have our maintenance department correct the issue of the refrigerator immediately. Thank you again for staying with us!
"Great Value and comfort"
the Hotel was clean, close, and professional. The exercise room was well maintained and the breakfast was tasty and fresh. Staff was courteous, helpful, and pleasant.Will definitely stay there again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are very happy you had a great stay, and that we lived up to your expectations. We are actually in the process of making our breakfast even better, so hopefully you'll get to enjoy that on your next visit!
"Close to Corporate Area"
The hotel met my expectations: clean, friendly staff, and adequate sized breakfast area. I did use the exercise room which is small and some of the equipment is too close together in which you nearly have to step over to get to other equipment. Overall, I will probably return for future business trips.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are so glad you had a nice stay with us, and I appreciate your feedback about the fitness center. I'll look at getting the equipment moved today, thus allowing our guests more walking space. Thank you again for staying with us and your comments and we look forward to seeing you on your next trip.
Room was great. Larger than expected. Small bath though. We didn't know the pool was under renovation. That was not noted under hotel description when I booked it, which was only a couple days before the stay. Convenient location otherwise.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are very glad you enjoyed your room, and that we were conveniently located for you! Unfortunately, due to changes to the contractor's schedule, we didn't have enough advance notice to be able to update our hotel description with the pool renovations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but hopefully we'll see you on your next visit to Lake Oswego so you can check out our newly renovated pool!
"wasn't worth it"
The bed was very uncomfortable and the room was not sound proof.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stuck in a storm"
I got stuck in a snow storm and had to walk to the hotel. The staff was very friendly and the room was very quiet and comfy and a nice size. The bed was great! There are restaurants within a few steps of the hotel and it is close to the freeway for easy access (when there is not a storm).Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego We are so pleased that you had a nice stay, weather aside. It does sound as you had quite the adventure, I'm just glad you made it safely as it was treacherous out. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback from your stay, and should you ever find yourself stranded again I hope you come visit us!
"Hampton Inn Night"
Little hard to get to because it is set back quite a bit. Rooms are very clean. The heater fan did run all night long but it WAS pretty cold out. Nice place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beds are Great!"
The comfort of the beds and linens were wonderful. Location was perfect for our stay before a surgery at Legacy Meridian Hospital. The staff was very helpful and professional. For noise, ask for a room off the freeway.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Holiday Inn Express Portland South-Lake Oswego Absolutely excellent! We are thrilled that you had such a nice time with us and we were able to get you a nice quite room. And now we are adding extra-large king sized pillows in all of our King Bedrooms in both firm and soft, that way there is something for everyone. Thank you again for staying with us and we hope to see you on your next trip to Lake Oswego.
"Excellent choice"
Everything was great. The hotel staff was really friendly. This hotel is highly recommended.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice place to stay"
This hotel was a nice place to stay. It was close to the wedding we needed to go to and we had no problems checking in late. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was good and had a nice seating area.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Would stay here again"
We stayed for one night; they had a friendly staff and comfy bed. Would stay here againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location!"
Check-in was fast and friendly. Breakfast was good but not much variety day-to-day. Room was very clean and nicely appointed with unadvertised microwave and fridge plus computers and printers for guest usage. Had to wait about 15 minutes for staff to check me out but otherwise great place to stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel, close to many fine restaurants."
The location of this hotel is great. Its very close to I-5. Has many restaurants nearby. A chevron gas station is adjacent to it. The breakfast was good. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Overall a great experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
I was not actually able to even check in at my last visit (11/18)! There was only one person on staff and a lobby full of people. The hotel staff person was right in the middle of a "melt down" when I walked in; a display I have never seen before, quite shocking. I don't think anyone in the lobby new what to do because the desk person was throwing such […] a fit (crying, blaming the general manager for staffing issues, etc.). I will not be back! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a Good Experience"
I was in the process of checking in at the front desk when the front desk clerk walked out of the hotel. She stated that she was the only person working in the hotel and she could not handle it anymore. She walked out of the hotel and never returned. I attempted to change hotels through Expedia and during this time, the hotel sent in a replacement and […] I was eventually checked in 45 minutes later. This was not a good experience and it appears that this hotel has some serious issues. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The staff were very good. Friendly, gave out good information on the Shopping in the area.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Quiet and Comfortable"
Needed a hotel close to my daughter's house. Was next to Interstate, so made our commute back and forth a breeze. Had a very quiet room and enjoyed a great complimentary breakfast each morning. Will stay here again on our next visit. Staff was very friendly and courteous.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great stay & we really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy for breakfast!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great pool experience"
Loved it! The only thing that could have been better is that when I called the front desk to ask the young man there to please bring me a luggage cart to my room (because I had two small children with me and it would be difficult to get it myself while wrangling two children) he acted as if I were putting him out. So I went and got it myself (children […] with me). Otherwise, it was perfect! Thank you so much. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient to Lake Oswego with nice amenities"
There were several pleasant surprises here. Refrigerator in the room. DirecTV satellite gave lots of TV viewing choices. Free wi-fi Internet. Even though my room was on the freeway side of the building, sound insulation was very good. The bed was quite comfortable. My room was slightly on the small side, but plenty big for my short stay. The only disappointment […] I had was getting to the breakfast room "too late" -- they told me the breakfast was open until 9:30, but when I arrived at 9:10, I was told no more food was forthcoming. The next morning I got there earlier and was impressed with the choices in the breakfast buffet - much more than other similar inns. I would definitely stay there again. It was clean, comfortable, and offered good value for the money. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not your grandpa's Holiday Inn"
Of all the Holiday Inn I have stayed in, this one is the worst. It is definitely not of the Holiday Inn standard and definitely not worth the price you pay. As soon as we open the room door, we noticed the odor/smell. Then when we use the shower, we were standing in at least 6 inches of water 5 minutes into the shower. The hallway smells as well, just […] not as heavy. Our decision of paying a little more for the Holiday Inn quality was wrong this time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel, updated, good facilities!"
Good location, clean, and friendly staff. Room had everything we needed.Genuine Expedia guest review
The beds were very comfortable. Best bed we slept during our whole trip (we stayed at 3 different hotels). The complimentary breakfast was worth the stay, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dirty Room"
This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. The room had not been cleaned from the previous guests. There was food in the refrigerator, used drink containers and newspapers, the bed had been slept in and left unchanged - disgusting! They had no other rooms and I had no form of transportation to leave, so I had to spend the night there anyway. […] They said they would send a gift certificate for another night but I never received any form of compensation. I will never stay in this hotel again and it is very unlikely I would stay in another Holiday Inn Express. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The exit wasn't clearly marked coming from WA Square but the room and breakfast were great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Convenient"
This hotel is right off I-5, which makes travelling much easier. The room was clean and comfortable Chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon was a nice touch too.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The "just right" hotel"
This was our 2nd stay at this particular hotel, and just like the first time, we were very satisfied with our accommodations. The location is great, just off the I-5 freeway, one exit away from a large shopping mall, and right next door to a Burgerville (yum). The complimentary breakfast is very good too. Although it really would be nice if the sink […] were enclosed in the same room as the toilet & tub/shower, that alone would not deter us from staying here again. You can also get a little lost within the halls of the hotel, with the awkward twists and turns, but again, it's not so bad that we'd look elsewhere for lodging. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"good overnight stay"
comfortable. Flat screen t.v., free WI-fi, close to restaurants and shoppingGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great value, beautiful hotel"
The building was immaculate inside and out. The rooms were exactly as shown in pics. The free breakfast included the usual toast, cereal and coffee plus biscuits and gravy, pancakes, eggs, sausage, and Holiday Inn cinnamon rolls, which we love. The staff was professional and pleasant. We loved our short stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
Hotel was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpfull. Great breakfast and easy location from I-5. I would reccommend this hotel to anyone. Rooms were quiet and VERY comfortable. The price was a bit on the high side but worth it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stay Smart!"
I stayed one night at the Holiday Inn Express in order to tour Portland the next day. I booked the hotel four months in advance, so I was able to get a competitive rate. The front desk manager was very professional and helpful. From what I could see, everything was well organized and clean. Because my stay was a week before the Labor Day weekend, the […] clientele was mostly families on vacation. Although the hotel was sold out, it was quiet and relaxing. There are two restaurants and a gas station in close proximity, so that can really help if one is squeezed for time. I would stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel."
The hotel was a great place to stay and was very comfortable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Be careful of what they tell you"
We called and ask if we could park our travel trailer there (we told them the size) but when we got there they had no place for us to park. We spent 2 hours looking for a place. The Safeway there let us park in there lot THANK YOU SAFEWAY. The only thing the hotel said was WE DONT GUARNTEE ANYTHING!!!!!!! NO Im sorry or anything. I think his name was […] Gerald, front desk. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we wont be back and no more Holiday Inns for us. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"nice place to stay"
The rooms are very clean and up-to-date. The bed was very comfortable. The in-room air conditioner was a bit loud, and it woke me a few times when it cycled on/off. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was pretty good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Conveniently Located"
The staff is very friendly and the location was great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay"
Very clean newer hotel. The continental breakfast was good. Had a good selection to choose from. Their swimming pool was not heated. Kids were disappointed about that.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Much less than what we expected"
Should have been told we were in a room designed for handicapped. the bathroom was designed for handicapped but definitely not the bedroom. The literature in the room states to ask staff if you want a smoking room when this is a non-smoking hotel. they need to change the information.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Make sure you turn by Burgerville"
Good placeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"If you don't mind snippy front desk help...."
The room was fine, but when it came to customer service, this hotel was seriously lacking. I walked in on the front desk clerk furiously chewing out the guy coming on shift next; got zero help with a wifi issue I was having ("Lady, I've got a whole line of people here at the desk waiting for me. I can't help you with this!"); and when clearly juggling […] a hyper 4-year old along with wondering if I could get some help with returning the luggage cart, was told by housekeeping that it would need to be brought back to the lobby myself (she was cleaning a mirror in the room across from me - I suppose that she isn't expected to offer customer service). The pool was lukewarm. My kids stayed in for about 15 minutes before they had to get out to warm up. Also, housekeeping staff repeatedly hollered down the hallway to each other. No nap-time for my son - it was just too loud. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very quiet and comfortable"
My only issue was that supplies weren't promptly replaced. The breakfast buffet was out of sweetener, creamer, ice water. The business center out of paper. Otherwise it was great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"One night stay"
The hotel stay was good overall. Clean rooms, easy check in, check out. The breakfast left something to be desired; there were no hot foods.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location off freeway and gas in the parking l"
It was fine, they had lots of sports team so the breakfast was full the whole time I went down 3 times. Once for coffee,2nd time to see how busy and finally to get food which I took back to the room. Biscuit were put out customer thought they were stale they weren't they were frozen. Couldn't get to the pancake because of the kids. Ran out of hot water […] in the thermos. Food was okay. The room was very far away and it was like a maze that couldn't be helped to get there. Richard at the front desk was nice and helpful. Even went to find a luggage cart for me.

If the Affordable Health Care law survives the Supreme Court, seniors could see their health insurance costs go down while their children's costs go up.
Sears shared a number of concerns, the first being how the law will affect the premiums of young healthy adults. A young male, currently paying $70 to $90 monthly for a basic individual policy, will pay an estimated $250 to $260. At the same time, a 60-year-old with significant health problems may see his premium decrease significantly, according to the Milliman Report, she said. The Ohio Department of Insurance hired Milliman, an actuarial consulting firm, to determine how the ACA will impact individual and small group health insurance.
Rates for young women are also expected to increase dramatically because maternity benefits are mandated. Sears says her company just quoted a Health Savings Account plan for a 38-year-old married woman with one child. The premium was $471 a month plus $710 for maternity benefits which can't be used for 270 days.

This shows just what you can do with simple ingredients. The dressing is sensational, especially with warm new potatoes.
To make the dressing, place the water, chilli, garlic and ginger in a food processor, add the creamed coconut and blitz well before scraping down and repeating for about a further 30 seconds. Add the herbs and rind, blitz well again before adding the limejuice and scraping down and seasoning with sea salt and mix for a further half a minute. If the mix becomes too cold, warm it slightly for 10 seconds in a microwave before serving.
Cut the chicken into 12 fine strips, season with sea salt and freshly milled pepper, heat a hot frying pan, add a dash of olive oil and fry until golden brown or and cooked. Meanwhile make the salad by cutting the potatoes lengthways, add the gem, rocket and tomato mix with a little olive oil and season. Divide the salad equally onto four plates; drain the chicken into kitchen paper and place 3 on top. Drizzle over the coriander dressing, scatter over spring onions and red mustard cress.

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Other Whites are the best wines to pair with New Potatoes and Chicken Salad with Coriander and Coconut Dressing.

C5 Corvette Sway Bars - Bar Talk
Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Set
Our installation took place at Hotchkis' shop in Santa Fe Springs, California. The company manufactures suspension upgrades for all makes and vintages of performance vehicles, which explains the Mopar in the background.
With the car on the lift, we can get a good look at the OEM front sway bar. Although this Z06-spec bar is considerably stiffer than the one found on the base C5, the new Hotchkis unit is claimed to be 115 percent stiffer still.
Begin the job by removing the lower endlink nuts...
...followed by the four bolts (two per side) that secure the bar to the frame. You should then be able to pop out the lower-endlink studs and slide the bar out of the vehicle.
Raise the new Hotchkis bar into place and install the included bushings.
These bushings are permanently impregnated with a dry lubricant, and no additional lube is required.
Maneuver the bushings so that their placement mimics that of the OEM pieces. With that done, apply anti-seize to the original sway-bar bolts and partially reinstall the brackets.
Begin threading the bolts by hand to avoid stripping the threads in the aluminum frame. Don't fully tighten the brackets at this point; you'll need to be able to rotate the bar within the bushing in order to complete the next step.
Hotchkis offers the package in two different forms: PN 2285 (used here) includes sway bars and bushings that work in conjunction with the stock Z06 endlinks, while PN 2234 adds upgraded endlinks to the mix. The Hotchkis links offer maximum performance and durability at the expense of a skosh more road noise. Whichever kit you choose, installing the endlinks and tightening the frame brackets to 35-40 lb-ft completes the front-end portion of the job.
With the front sway bar installed, it's time to move on to the rear bar, shown here.
As with the front bar, this portion of the job begins with the removal of the lower-endlink nuts.
Use a spray lubricant if necessary to help break them free.
Next, remove the upper bolts that hold the sway bar to the frame, followed by the nuts on the lower frame mount. Leave the lower bolts in place, as these secure the lower A-arms to the car. Push out the lower-endlink studs and remove the bar from the vehicle.
Using the factory parts as a reference, install the new bushings on the Hotchkis bar.
The three mounting holes in the Hotchkis bar (top) make it possible to dial in different levels of stiffness to match your vehicle specifications and driving requirements. Depending on the setting, the bar can be configured to offer 60, 100, or 150 percent more stiffness than the factory piece.
Lift the new bar into place and secure it by loosely reinstalling the frame brackets. Remember to use anti-seize compound on the threads of the bolts.
Install the endlinks, inserting each top link into one of the three holes on the end of the new bar. Hotchkis recommends starting with the outermost (loosest) setting, then working your way inward (increasing stiffness) as needed.
With the endlinks in place, tighten the bolts in the upper and lower frame mounts (to 35-40 lb-ft and 60-65 lb-ft, respectively) to complete the installation. Check these bolts after 100 miles of driving and retighten them if necessary.
The Hotchkis sway bars are powdercoated black, lending a welcome dose of understated style to the Z06's underbody. The rear-facing company logo is a savvy bit of marketing, considering that's the position from which the car's on-track competition is likely to view it.
Our test car had previously been fitted with a methanol-injected ProCharger system, in preparation for its role as camera car during the filming of a Hotchkis promotional video. With the new sway bars in place, the Z acquitted itself admirably during the shoot, handily outpacing several comprehensively modified muscle cars on Socal's famous Streets of Willow road course.

Your Favorite Frozen Treat
- Perilagu Khan Jun 22, 2012 07:50 AM
As the temps rise to triple digits my overheated medulla oblongata conjurs childhood memories of frozen treats offered by passing ice cream trucks. Said trucks were usually blaring the theme from The Entertainer.
Like all the kiddos, I had my favorites.
I loved Dreamsicles, with the orange sherbet on the outside and vanilla ice cream in the center.
Loved Nutty Buddies.
Loved the orange Push-ups.
And I loved the Bomb Pops, which were rocket-shaped, and featured three layers of red, white and blue frozen stuff.
What did you buy after prying a quarter loose from your mom's change purse? And what do you buy now that you have your own change purse or mutual fund/ETF portfolio?
If you are just talking about selections from your typical ice cream truck, then it was one of two things: (1) Big Stick or (2) Good Humor Ice Cream on a Stick (classic vanilla).
re: pinehurst
Firecracker Pops? Brother. Why not just call 'em Flower Puffs and be done with it.
re: circustance
I used to always get the WWF wrestling ice cream bar - now I munch on ices of all kinds, slushies and frozen grapes
re: circustance
The mental pictures are just WRONG!
I was always a tough choice, but I usually ended up with the Bomb! Sometimes a Dreamsicle won out.
re: Perilagu Khan
Yes.. Otter Pops are great in hot weather. Thanks for reminding me.. need to get some soon.
re: Perilagu Khan
Absolutely remember both. The Icee to me had a leg up on the similar treat Slush Puppy....better flavor punch, as I remember it.
re: pinehurst
pinehurst, you speak of the Icee in the past tense. They live on, at least in Texas where we get them at a roadside convenience store on steroids call Buccee's.
re: James Cristinian
You can get Icees in Lubbock's South Plains Maul, too.
Paletas Mexicanos- Cafe & Walnut are my faves.
Those new white chocolate jobs by Good Humor are pretty tasty too!
Spent a few years on the east coast and miss the Italian water ice trucks/stands.
re: cocktailhour
Yes, indeed. Very similar to the Nutty Buddy.
re: cocktailhour
I love those cones. I just wished the cones would still crisp and not get soggy.
re: cocktailhour
+1 drumsticks
+1 nutty buddy
re: nofunlatte
+1 on the chocolate eclair bars but we also had in the school cafeteria strawberry shortcake bars which were also quite good. I am now fond of ben and jerry's chunky monkey...real banna flavored ice cream (not chemical tasting at all) plus chunks of bittersweet chocolate and chunks of walnuts, 2nd fav is chubby hubby with mini chocolate covered pretzels throughout... hagen das rum raisin is pretty darn good as well
when visiting my california sister sometimes we go to a mexican grocery which has maple walnut frozen bars as well as other flavors unobtainable in NYS at least in upstate small town. yum.
As a kid, I loved orange pushups. The mechanics of it fascinated me.
Now, I love the fro-yo shops. My husband and I are both on Weight Watchers, so we don't treat ourselves to big meals or rich food. Going out for frozen yogurt at home or while traveling is our reward to ourselves. My fave is the tangy Greek one, with some raspberries or strawberries on top.
re: Perilagu Khan
Those are dangerously good. They used to make a Mars bar version too, which was even better!
Thank you, Perilagu Khan. Finally a post relevant to us in the hotter climates, such as Texas, and through chowstalking, I know you live there, as do I. None of these what are you baking or grilling threads. The oven was turned off in April, Memorial Day marks the official end of grilling season for me. Favorite frozen treats as a youth were fudgesicles, drumsticks, popsicles, chocalate chip Blue Bell ice cream, and snow cones, grape, lime, and root beer at Little League games. Today it is the most appealing pint of Blue Bell I see, and I can usually stretch them to three tastings.
re: James Cristinian
Ah, snow cones. Remember those kiddie snow cone makers shaped roughly like a snowman, where you'd put ice in the snowman's head, crank the handle, and sleet would come out the bottom? Every now and then I'll see one of those when I'm trollin' through an antique store with the Khantessa. I never actually owned one as a kid, but some of my little buddies did.
Klondike bars.. mmmm!
Trader Joe's has mini cones called (confusingly) "Hold the Cone" with vanilla or chocolate ice cream and a chocolate-dipped top. Like tiny Drumsticks without the peanuts. Delicious.
But I will eat ice cream if it's 10 below outside.
Our neighborhood Mr. Softee truck offered an italian ice topped off with a swirl of soft serve... I forget what it was called, but it was perfect for those days when I couldn't decide between ice cream and ice.
When I was in elementary school in the late 50's, some of the older kids had an ice cream store, where you could purchase treats after lunch, I think just one day a week. My Mom gave me a nickle so I could buy an ice cream bar. I always wanted a "drum-stick" but they cost a dime, and I never got a dime.
My birthday was in the summer, so I never got to take treats to school to share like all the other kids. One summer for my birthday, my mother invited a few friends over for a party. (We lived in the country, so it was a big occasion to invite friends over.) Before the party we went to the grocery store and Mom let me pick out a frozen treat to serve to my friends. Of course I chose "drum-sticks." What a banner day, to have a party and get to eat "drum-sticks." They are still one of my favorite treats.
I love GOOD ice cream... but not someone who will eat an entire pint at a sitting. Supermarket usually had Haagen Daz and Ben & Jerry's in little mini-cups... sometimes 10/$10. Not necessarily a great deal by weight, but just the right size when I want a little "dessert".
re: DonShirer
Sounds like a Nutty Buddy or a Drumstick.
re: Perilagu Khan
Drumsticks! Yep. Thanks for the memory...as Bob Hope used to sing.
re: DonShirer
Don't mention it!
signed--Bing Crosby
Bomb Pops are still my favorite. Blue Bunny still calls them "Bomb Pops":
Schwan's has them too and calls them Bomb Pop, Jr.:
Schwan's also carries Chocolate Malt Push-Ems which are tremendous:
When I was a kid the Good Humor truck used to carry chocolate eclair bars that had an actual chocolate bar adhered to the stick in the middle of the bar. Easily the neighborhood favorite.
from the truck, I'm a big big fan of the tollhouse cookie ice cream sandwiches.
my most-eaten frozen treat though is either bananas (make sure you peel them before freezing!) dipped in peanut butter or arctic zero (to make up for the times i eat the tollhouse cookie sandwiches! haha!)
Mom used to make the homemade ice pops with fruit juice. Remember them fondly. But all time fave is still the ice cream sandwich. The soft chocolate cake/cookie with the vanilla ice cream. I could go through a whole box.
I used to love to get Dreamsicles or Orange Push-Ups from the ice cream truck. The Schwann man also came by occasionally and he had a Root Beer Float pop that I loved. Klondike bars were a treat that my mom would bring home from the grocery store. However, my FAVORITE of all was always the Choco Taco, available at fine gas stations and convenience stores. They're much harder to find now but I stumble across them now and again. Same idea as a Drumstick (which I also enjoy), but somehow better!
re: biondanonima
every once in a while I'll see a choco taco and get it too. they're good!
re: laliz
I didn't have these as a kid, but worked at a hospital for years and they stocked choco taco's. Oh my, they were so good. :)
Now, I love Chocolate Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert, made with coconut milk. Yum.
I grew up in a Latino neighborhood so instead of "The Entertainer," I would go manic at the sound of clinking bells and a pushcart vendor beckoning the kids for "Paletas!" Watermelon and coconut were my favorites, particularly because they were the only Spanish words I knew. Once I learned how to say "fresa," that was added to the rotation.
When the ice cream truck did manage to come around, I would always get one of those almond flavored ice cream bars, covered in nuts, with a flavor so laden with pit-derived almond extract that I couldn't tell if I was eating almonds or cherries.
re: WhatsEatingYou
I loved Heath ice cream bars. They weren't smooth like a Haagan Dazs, they had kind of an indentation running down the middle, like a classic ice cream bar shape. loved those. Haven't seen them in years. I love those ice cream sandwiches, too. The soft cookie and ice cream just does it for me.
When I was about eight my mom took me for swimming lessons a few days a week one summer. There was a Carvel across the street and shed take ne there after swimming. I always got either a Flying Saucer or a soft serve cone dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. Those were so good!
re: Perilagu Khan
You can get a cherry or butterscotch dip at most DQs as well, although I usually stick with the Peanut Buster Parfait. In fact, I'll be having one tomorrow night on my way back from the beach.
Not living in Texas anymore means I can't avail myself of my favorite DQ treat, the Country Basket, which isn't available outside the state.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Oh yeah. I practically grew up on Country Baskets and Beltbusters, not to mention Dip Cones. But I must say, DQs are nowhere near as heavy on the ground as they were back in the 70s. Still see 'em regularly in small towns though.
re: Perilagu Khan
DQ's used to have the "Mr Misty" (a type of Slushee) and the "Mr Misty Kiss" (a type of push-up in Mr. Misty flavors). I really loved the grape and lemon lime in these. DQ's are indeed a lot more scarce nowadays, at least in Northeastern Mass.
But back to your OP...do you remember a frozen truck treat that looked like a foot-long popsicle. It had rainbow stripes and (theoretically) was multiflavored? In lieu of our beloved Bomb pop, it was a good treat that lasted a long time.
re: pinehurst
My brother, who has a sweet tooth the size of Lake Michigan, swears by DQ's Blizzards. I suppose I'll relent and try one someday.
I do not recall those foot-long popsicles, I'm afraid.
re: Perilagu Khan
There was a famous family vacation in the summer of 1982 where we stopped at literally every DQ between Dalhart and Rockport. If there were two in the same town, we stopped at both.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Wow Jenny, Dalhart to Rockport, Texas I presume. That's like driving halfway across the USA. That must have been a week long roadie with all the DQ stops. Rockport must be so exotic compared to Dalhart. I live in Houston and every time I cross that bridge to Rockport, it's like a different planet. I love the place.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Heh heh. That's the very definition of madcap. Like something out of a National Lampoon flick. And I must say, that was the hell of a lot of DQs!
when we're on the Lake (Mead or Powell) a special treat is the frozen fruit popsicles.
I love the coconut, DS#1 loves cherry, DS#2 lime, DD blueberry and hubby is lemon lover.
For you Texans, Six Flags Over Texas used to sell a frozen treat called the Pink Thing. (No snickering!) It's been a very long time, but golly those "things" were da bomb-- as opposed to da Bomb Pop. I wish I could get a crate shipped to my door.
Frozen treats, how do I love thee, let me count the ways....
from childhood-
Flinstones sherbet push ups
rainbow sherbet cone with gumball on the bottom
Good Humor Candy Center Crunch-had to look this up, as I haven't seen one for sale in a long time- kind of like a chocolate eclair ice cream bar, but there was a more solid chocolate center
I still like orange sherbet and GH chocolate eclairs
Ben Jerry's Chocolate therapy
Haagen daaz 5- milk chocolate
Ciao Bella Key lime/graham gelato
With everyone else on the Flinstones sherbet push-pops
Ninja Turtle/Spider Man
I vaguely remember great white sharks from somewhere
Scooters were always a decent
I grew up a few blocks from a 7-11, and fondly remember a chocolate ice cream bar they had along with the Big Wheels, which were ice cream cookie sandwiches. The bar was called the Big Deal, and was kind of like your basic Eskimo Pie except it had both chocolate and vanilla ice cream inside. No one seems to remember these but me.

@waybig1010101: why? how?
@SMXLR8: that's the name of the beast: 4 beast lol. it was 4 separate beasts that fused into one:
each represent about 1/4 of the power of the 4 beast each of them were on the continent range. though after fusing it seems its power grews exponentially (judging how the kings could kill any of theses guys separately but they couldnt stand up to the fusion.)
anyways the 4 beast can deploy extremely lethal poison (not even coco could create antibodies) it can deploy concentrated beams of magma (its likely magma im not sure) it can regenerate from a single piece of mass, it doesnt have any vital organs and can multiply as much as he desires. it can also redirect damage and pison out of his body (kicks and punches dont work either, even zeburas beat punch which is on the country++ level got nullified)
@waybig1010101: kamehameha? you know how long that takes to charge? besides goku has never made a city sized kamehameha. it would make a gigantic hole on the 4 beast, but as you know that wouldnt really kill it. goku would have to make a kamehameha that encompasses the entire body of the 4 beast and i just dont see that happening.
@waybig1010101: spirit bomb in a city full of people? that's not in character
@AnimeDefender: this goku doesnt have it
guys guys, the fight is in character, goku cannot do things like flying at full speed and sending someone to orbit. that is something sentry or supes would do but not goku.

Government Grant and Loan Facts:
Don't be scammed by ads; whether on radio, tv, or online, about free money from the government. The federal government does offer grants and loans, but the information you pay for may be misleading. Here are the facts:
The differences between grants and loans. Loans are obligations which must be repaid, and often with interest. A grant; however, does not require repayment, but there are extremely few grants available for individuals. Most grants are awarded to universities, researchers, cities, states, counties, and non-profit organizations. Loans are generally the best bet for individuals.
Grants for Personal Individual Use
As the economy continues to stagger, with high unemployment, rising living costs and mounting debt, consumers turn to the internet in search of free grants for personal individual use.
While individual grants such as Pell Grants for education are indeed available for personal education use, typically government grants are awarded to foundations and organizations, which then serve individuals.
But that doesn't mean that there will never be a broader range of free grants for individuals. As of the date of this article; however, there are not; for example, free grants for personal debt. To stay current with grant opportunities, individuals should frequently check for new programs.
In addition to government websites, there are also private foundations and website links that can assist in grant searches, in addition to submitting grant application proposals.
Meanwhile, if there is not yet available; or if you do not qualify, for a free grant you never have to pay back, there are still other options including state assistance programs. The best tip is to keep all your mind open to other solutions. Instead of focusing only on; for example, a free grant to pay bills, also look for assistance to help you meet other expenses (such as food or housing assistance), which would free-up money to pay debts.
Turn over every stone, be watchful of scams and; if you find a program which you may qualify for, consider having an experienced, professional company submit your application. For example, a lawyer that specializes in SSI disability may increase your chances of getting supplemental security income approval.
Don't try to call the United States Department of Grants. There isn't one. Federal agencies may have different rules for who is eligible for grants and loans and how to apply.
To get an idea of all the federal grants available, browse the online Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. These listings are updated annually.
Be aware that grants require you to submit a proposal to the federal agency describing what you plan to do with the money. Even after submitting a proposal, it may be quite some time before the agency either approves or denies your request.
Grants also require you to fill out forms, generally on a quarterly basis, that tell how much money you have spent and what you have spent it on, as well as how you are progressing on the work you promised to do.
A better approach for most consumers is to visit GovBenefits.gov. You check off which categories you fit into (for example, veteran) and then answer a series of questions. GovBenefits will identify loans and sources of financial assistance for which you may be eligible and tell you how and where to apply. You may be surprised what you are eligible for- there are forms of assistance available for a variety of personal situations including disaster victims, farmers, or people with teaching experience.
Grant to go to college? Facts:
You can fill out an application for Federal Student Aid by visiting the Department of Education's website. You may be asked to provide information about your income and your family's income to determine your eligibility. Save report cards and transcripts in case you need to report your grades. Have a good idea of what schools you plan to apply to and what you want to study.
Visit GovLoans.gov to learn more about well-known programs such as Pell Grants, Work-Study, and Perkins and Stafford Loans.
The Department of Veterans Affairs website can tell you more about the "GI Bill" and other programs for veterans and their survivors and dependents.
GovLoans.gov also has information about Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). Eligible parents can borrow to pay the educational expenses of dependent undergraduate children who are enrolled in school at least part-time.
Beware of "scholarship scams." For example, be wary when you hear that your bank account number is needed to "hold" the scholarship. Be sure the scholarship is legitimate before giving out any personal information.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) helps individuals by giving grants to non-profits and local governments, however HUD does not offer assistance directly to consumers. Visit or call the HUD office in your state to find out more.
Here are some HUD loans and other options to explore:
HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures loans, allowing you to purchase a home for as little as 3% down. Anyone can apply, but there is a limit on the loan amount they will insure-this varies according to geographic area. You can also wrap the closing costs into your mortgage.
A foreclosed or "HUD Home" may have a lower asking price. Most HUD Homes are affordable for low to moderate income families.
Through the Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans and their families may be eligible for loans to buy a home.
The United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service insures loans for the purchase of homes in rural communities.
Fannie Mae has a website that can help you find a low cost mortgage and a lender that are right for you.
Visit HUD's website to learn about programs to assist you in renting a house or apartment. You can locate low-income housing, or apply for a Section 8 voucher that you can use to pay some or all of your rent.
The Rural Housing Service makes financing available to elderly, disabled, or low-income apartment residents in rural areas to ensure they are able to make rent payments.
Grant to start a business? Facts:
There are no grants for starting or expanding a business, but the Small Business Administration (SBA) has loans to help you start a business. You can also get all the forms you need online.
You can also visit a SBA Small Business Development Center for help with starting, financing, or expanding your business.
Government grant, unclaimed money and unclaimed property
As the saying goes: "Buyer Beware". If you see ads claiming you qualify to receive a "free grant" for education, to start a home business or to payoff unpaid bills but you must pay a processing or membership fee to obtain the information, be wary. Scam artists will claim your grant application is guaranteed to be accepted and approved, and you never have to repay the money. But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns that these grant offers are often a scam. The grant isn't free, nor is it guaranteed, nor is a refund.
According to the FTC, some scam artists market "free grants" in classified ads and on the internet, as in the example ad below:
When you call their toll free phone number, here's an example of what happens:
A company representative asks non-threatening, simple questions to supposedly determine if you qualify to receive a grant. The representative then acts as if he/she is checking your eligibility, and then congratulates you as being eligible. But for you to get the grant information from them, they will charge you a processing fee. Although they will promise you that the grant is guaranteed or you can get your money back, the truth is far different.
They will tell you that the processing fee is for finding a grant source and sending you the appropriate application package in the mail. But you won't receive an application or a source. Instead they send you a list of agencies and foundations which you must write and request an application. In order to get your refund, you must apply to; and be rejected by, all these agencies within 90 days.
Most grantors don't award grants to individuals for personal needs. Generally grants are to serve mankind and communities as a whole, such as job expansion, training under-employed youth, preserving history, funding charities, art museums, or for researching medical issues. So, even if you're in a financial hardship, or you may be an unwed mother, a single parent, a minority, etc, you're not likely to get approved for a personal use grant. And you may as well forget about getting a refund from the grant "broker" because the conditions for a refund are nearly impossible, requiring you to apply at every grantor on the list they provided to you and be denied by each resource within 90 days. If even one resource doesn't reject you within the first 90 days, you won't get your refund, nor will you get it back if the rejections are past the 90 day requirement.
If you're thinking about applying for a grant, remember that the applications are available to you for free and that anyone who guarantees you a grant is likely to be interested in their own financial gain, not yours. If you think you may have been a victim of a grant scam, file a complaint with the FTC by visiting www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261.

Turning around financial problems, to be able to save money can be an overwhelming process that could take months or years. Finding the motivation, can be as easy as reading success stories on the Internet or listening to people around you. People from all walks of life can have debt problems that need to be solved, it is not just those who may live on limited incomes.
Many times there are medical problems that cause the family finances to be depleted beyond repair, a disability, the loss of a job, or other circumstances. Things that happen can cause life to look pretty dire. When money management skills are lacking, it can only get worse, and this in turn can cause couples to fight about the finances. It can also have a negative impact on all areas of life. Financial problems that are faced soon, can lead to positive changes. It does not matter who is to blame, unless you want to be on a road to nowhere, something has to change for the better.
For some people, loosing money due to a business that failed, can cause huge amounts of debt. One big problem can result from trying to keep a company running, by charging on credit cards, only later to find the battle was lost. Trying to meet a company budget may go on for months, until someone finally decides it is not paying off, and the doors are closed. But that does not wipe out all the debt that may be owed.
There are many people who only live paycheck to paycheck every week. When there is a layoff at work, debts can get behind quickly. It becomes worse when late fees are added and bill collectors are constantly calling, thus leading to more stress. Many people keep hoping things will change, and they do not act, and being in debt deepens.
There are other people who end up in debt because they spend money wastefully and live like they are rich. It eventually catches up with them. They may be the type who must eat out all the time, buy things they desire but do not need, purchase clothes and shoes that continues to clutter closets, and try to impress their peers only to become deep in debt. Usually this includes purchasing a huge house that they can not afford, nor the utility bills to go with it. There is never enough money for the family expenses.
Savings accounts can help when the family finances needs extra money, yet many Americans do not save for emergencies. They shuffle bills when something happens and that cuts into the paycheck with added late charges. Eventually, credit scores may be damaged to the point, that getting approved for money to dig out is almost impossible.
When debts are piling up, the important thing is to turn things around as soon as possible and not months down the line. There must be some type of action, like learning to live way beneath one's means just to be able to catch up on bills that are due each month. Some people may not have the skills to get back on track. Enlisting the help of professionals to try to get debt relief can be a good step forward.
To get out of debt, some people may choose to get a second job or work over forty hours a week to get more money for debts. This can be one of the best moves to get extra money. Another option is to sell stuff at garage sales, in the newspaper, or at online auctions. It could be surprising how much money you may be able to earn toward bills.
For those who owe a few thousand in debt, they may have luck by using a self made plan, but when debts total more than $10,000, a debt counselor may be helpful. When debts are in the hundreds of thousands, a lawyer who knows about debt settlement or bankruptcy issues may need to be consulted. Whatever the debts are, there are several tried and true methods to get debt relief. There are still some basic concepts to getting finances under control, for those who do not know how, find debt help fast.

Finally, after a bajillion years of waiting, the first Android tablet is finally getting its very own update to Android 4.0, finally. Finally. As some of you may recall, the WiFi model received an ICS update months ago, but the 3G/4G version, which has been plagued with problems since launch, including lack of advertised flash support and an actual 4G modem, is only just now set to get the OTA update.
Update 5/31/12: Verizon is pushing out this 4.0.4 update to devices now.
Galaxy Nexus LTE owners, listen up: the day you all have been waiting on is finally coming. Yes, I'm talking about the update to Android 4.0.4.
Verizon just pushed details of the update to the GN's support page, which means that the update is imminent. Aside from .4, the update also brings a handful of enhancements:
Email, Messaging & Data
Verizon Galaxy Nexus users, you finally have the Android 4.0.4 OTA update coming your way. You were one of the first to own a Galaxy Nexus (see our detailed review) and experience Ice Cream Sandwich, and yet now you're one of the last to receive updates (after GSM and Sprint LTE). Yup, the previous update, ICL53F, was in... December of last year. I know how bitter it makes you, and I don't really have excuses on Verizon's behalf, so let's just get down to business.
Sometimes confirmations come from the strangest of sources.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has just approved a CMDA version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII (SCH-I535), all but guaranteeing its arrival on Verizon.
Earlier this month a device with the model number SCH-I535 appeared in a NenaMark benchmark test. The device was using the Qualcomm Adreno 225 GPU and was Verizon branded. We suggested that the US version of the Galaxy SIII was likely to use the Snapdragon S4 chip, and the benchmark appears to confirm this theory.
Update: In response to the rather vocal outcries of many of its subscribers on the web, Verizon has clarified what will happen to 3G/4G data plans explicitly. The takeaway is this: anyone purchasing a smartphone from this summer forward on subsidy pricing will be pushed into tiered/shared data. If you choose not to buy a smartphone on subsidy, you can keep your unlimited plan if you choose to.
This means if you renew your 2-year agreement, from this summer forward, on any line by buying a "discounted" phone, you lose unlimited.
This is the sort of quasi-rumor (it's fairly detailed and comes from the Wall Street Journal, so we're inclined to trust it) that makes me happy to be an Android fan.
According to the WSJ, Google is in cahoots with up to five device manufacturers to provide early access to the next iteration of the Android OS (Jelly Bean, we assume) so it can have an entire "portfolio" of Nexus devices ready by Thanksgiving - that's late November for those without turkey day.
While Big Red may not be getting an HTC One series device just yet, the finally official Incredible 4G is actually very close. Announced yesterday just in time for CTIA, the Incredible 4G, along with most of its specs, was leaked by Android Police back in early April and briefly showed up two weeks later at DroidDoes.com. Yesterday, Verizon threw together a nice unofficial shindig for the press where we could finally check out the Incredible 4G in person.
It's finally here, the DROID Incredible 4G LTE, that phone you might have sort of been a little curious about at some point, but probably weren't because it isn't nearly as good looking as the real HTC One phones. But hey, it has a removable battery, Verizon's ever-expanding 4G LTE network, and a Snapdragon S4 processor that hopefully won't devour juice like the Cookie Monster at an all-you-can-eat Nestle Toll House buffet.
If you've been following the Galaxy S III news today, you know it has a banging new Exynos 4 quad-core processor that absolutely obliterates benchmarks. The problem is that the Exynos 4 platform is quite old at this point (for a mobile chipset), and was never designed to support LTE. That's why devices like the Galaxy S II Skyrocket don't use an Exynos chip. Devices with Exynos 4 chips that do, like the Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE, use an external one - adding thickness and increasing power consumption.
Update 4/23/12: This update is now rolling out OTA (thanks, Kristopher and others).
It's been a bit of a disappointing ride for the Droid RAZR and its beefier brother over the last few weeks - first, we were told that the ICS update was to start rolling out on April 4th, but that didn't happen. Instead, Moto was going to start a soak test of a new enhancement build, but...

The best game I have played in months. The game managed to create the most complex yet most simple to navigate gameplay mechanism I have ever experienced.
The missing tutorial is the only glaring flaw as far as I can see. The developer cites anti-piracy measures as the reason, but as usual this hurts paying customers the most.
While casual gamers may be put off by its complex political focus, sim and history buffs will love the accuracy this game portrays of medieval politics.
A good game, but its convoluted interface, some minor bugs, and the lack of a detailed manual make it a tedious and frustrating game to learn for both old-school Europa fans and newbies alike. There are rewards to be had herebut you're going to need to put in some time to reap them.
One of the key features, the Crusades, are utterly broken in this reviewer's opinion and the game would be much better without them enabled.
Lack of any good documentation lead us to hours of agony and frustration just to get started. It's a compelling game, and it would have been worthwhile if we knew what we were doing from the outset.

Jun 14, 2014This is a Mac review of Crusader Kings. Seeing as my MacBook can't run Crusader Kings II, I decided to download the first game. I was not disappointed. Crusader Kings definitely has a high learning curve, but after farting around for a handful of hours I was starting to get highly addicted. It's an epic journey as you claim territory, make friends and foes, care for your vassals and kingdom, practice diplomacy, etc. You can really sink your teeth into this game and have an absolute blast. Get a cup of coffee, play, and have fun on your quest. Sadly, there are a few major downsides to the Mac version which really kill the experience. The screen isn't optimized to go fullscreen so you're stuck with black bars at each end of the screen. I also had issues with the game crashing, and it happened every hour or so of playtime. Overall the game itself is a gem, WHEN it works. I can't say that these issues happen to all Mac users, but this is my experience with the game. I would've given the game a solid 9 out of 10, but the crashing and annoying low res box-screen ruins it.… Expand
