Sep 8, 2011This game is a very fun shooter, but with flaws. I'll go over the good first. The combat is entertaining and a touch different than other shooters. You get to tweak your character with different abilities to make unique builds which change how your character plays. The game randomly generates weapons so everything that drops is unique and a possible great find, it keeps you looking for loot. These things make it fun to play and the graphics are done in an art style like animation cells which I really like, it looks superb. The bad things bring it down however. The game scales terribly. As you do quests and gain exp. you will level too fast and quickly become too powerful, tearing through groups of enemies far too easily. A second play through with tougher enemies is possible, but not fun. You will start much higher level than foes and there is no challenge. The game is lacking several graphics controls on the options menu, which is stupid because the devs put the coding for the controls in the files, they just didn't make buttons. You will have to edit the .ini file yourself to turn on things like v-sync and get a widescreen point of view. Very lazy on the devs part there. Instructions for doing this are easy to find and it's not hard to do, but I shouldn't have to. So, overall Borderlands is a fun game that ends up being far too easy to play and has some basic setup options missing, but obtainable with manual editing on the users part.… Expand
Mar 15, 2012I don't know why I bought this game because i hated the graphics and I only play single player games. But anyway, I gave this game a chance and still hated the graphics and single player mode was a joke.
I know i should not write this review because this game is mainly multiplayer games but lets this review be warning for people who is thinking to buy this game because of the single player mode.
May 6, 2011The game consists of circle strafing and utterly boring missions. The co-op is a huge hassle keeping people on the same pace, and god help anyone who decided to play this single player. I just can't see any real +ve to this game - a utter waste of money.
Sep 28, 2012Quite possibly one of the most overrated games of all time. I really don't find the entertainment value in this game. Perhaps I am crazy, or it's an issue with today's common gamer. This game is simply boring. There's nothing fun about it. That's a very bold statement, but I stand by it. The game treats you like you're a child with ADHD; there are flashy graphics, constant drops of items and loot, and oh so silly jokes that would keep only those who find shows like Family Guy entertained. The game is an insult to my and, I would hope, most other gamer's intelligence. Yes, there is a lot of loot. And I found myself changing weapons and all my gear so quickly it'd make my head spin. The time I finally got a weapon I enjoyed using, another one would drop which was objectively better. This would happen throughout the game and it would happen multiple times in one hour. This leaves the whole looting system lose it's charm. While some would call it a rewarding system, I would argue it's the exact opposite. While it does make you feel good to upgrade a weapon, it happens so often that it just becomes a pointless mechanic. The game's humor is that on a 13 year old's who first started using curse words in front of his friends. The jokes are just dumb. Literally, just dumb. The multiplayer is just that, multiple people playing the same boring, dull, repetitive, and half-witted game. I am glad I got the game for free, but it's unfortunate I cannot get a refund. What a joke.… Expand
Nov 21, 2012Boring repetitiveness and the graphics absolutely suck. Somebody commented "fantastic art". Lol. Sure, if you never graduated from crayons as an art medium.
Jul 31, 2012In 1-Player mode, is an extremely bored and repetitive game after only a few hours of gaming. Surely, it gains a lot of interesting features if played in coo-op mode.
Aug 17, 2012Just the worst game I've ever played. BL is an example of anti-game. Not fun. Not entertainment. The idea was great, but in the end is just one more in a million.
Oct 31, 2010I can't undestard how you can call it an RPG... not all "experience oriented" games can be deifned as RPG... it's a arcade FPS, nothing else...
Anyway: good graphics, average sounds, very boring and very repetitive gameplay.
I uninstalled the game before reaching the end.
May 26, 2011First of all I'd like to point out that I didn't buy this game. It was offered in a bundle with other games, much more entertaining games but still I decided to try it out. The first hour of the game is quite fun, you shoot at stuff, collect guns and ammo, do a few missions and progress through the campaign all the while ignoring the terribly annoying storyline (and characters). Once you get used to this game and actually get some decent gear you start noticing all the bugs and glitches, most notably the hit boxes. The one critical, essential, necessary game mechanic a shoot-em-up game must get flawlessly is the hit registration. You shoot people in the head point blank with a sniper rifle and it misses, you shoot em in the chest point blank and it misses. You goddamn purposefully shoot beside them and it hits... The storyline, characters and cutscenes are dreadfully annoying and also unskippable, therefore you're not playing this game for the plot. The game mechanics are riddled with bugs which render the game almost unplayable, therefore you're not playing this game for its gameplay. This game has terrible graphics, graphics that at first sight reminded me of a f2p game called Drift City(for those familiar), therefore you're not playing this game for the awe factor. A single question remains. Why are you playing this game?
I give it a 3 out of 10 because 1. the game actually was capable of installing itself on my PC. 2. The splash screen pops up when you click the game's icon. 3. The .exe file actually works and the game launches. Otherwise it's worthless.… Expand
Jun 13, 2011The game is extremely repetitive and has little to offer in story or background. The ending is especially lackluster. The promised huge number of weapons amounts to basically same weapons with some slightly different DPS number on it. This game makes killing hordes of enemies boring. The fact it is considered an RPG makes me extremely sad. I was actually lucky to make multiplayer work and complete it with a friend and we both felt it was an absolute drag.… Expand
Jan 17, 2011It's obvious that this game was created for consoles. The menu handling on PCs is, to put it politely, braindead. It all makes sense instantly the moment you realize that it was originally meant for consoles.
And the game remains consistent at this.
The loading times between levels is, in one word, stunning. Usually enough time to get a new can of soda, just like you'd expect from a console game that needs to load the next level from its DVD. But ... on a PC?
Now, consoles do not have firewalls or other pesky things like this. Hence, Borderlands' multiplayer option refuses to work if you happen to consider security something that you might want on your PC. Only if you turn off every semblance of protection, forward a metric ton of ports and let everything and anything connect freely to your machine, you might be allowed to hope that maybe you could possibly be rewarded with a working multiplayer session.
Ok, I take that 'working' back. It might connect. For how long, well, let's say it will be a surprise for you.
When you finally get to play, it's FUN! For about 10 minutes. Then you notice that, well, you're actually doing the same crap over and over and over and over... and while that was fun for Diablo a decade ago, it kinda got old by now.
It's not even fun as a shooter. This from someone who loves multiplayer shooters and adores the graphics of TF2 (one of the reasons why I bought BL, the graphics sure resemble those of TF2). It just is plainly and simply no fun. And it's not even that the enemies are "only NPCs", I love Left4Dead with a similar "us 4 against 100 enemies, we're soooo unfair!" feel to it. The Borderlands NPCs are just simply terrible. Either they are brain dead zombies (no pun intended) that look at you blankly while you take potshots. Or they have superhuman radar that makes "sneaking" up to them completely pointless since they seem to know just where you are on the map, all the time, whether they can see you or not. Essentially, that reduces the "shooter" element to "fire your gun in the general direction of the enemy, absorb the return fire (no need to duck or anything, it won't change a bit), then go and collect the trinkets. Rinse, repeat.
Tactics? GROUP tactics?
C'mon, it's so obviously a console shooter, you're expecting WAY too much.… Expand
Aug 28, 2011Boringland could have bin great if it werent so repetitive and bland. I never felt I was in a wasteland, it didnt have that feel to it like STALKER has. What made it unplayable was that you couldnt turn the mics off so we couldnt use teamspeak. And on top off that the ingame sound quality was so bad that we had to plugg out the mics.
How fun is a co-op game when you cant speak to each other? Such a simple feature ruining he hole game and makes it unplayable.
I would like to give it a higher score but without the possibility to turn of the mics it´s unplayable.… Expand
Sep 7, 2011This game is a great play with your friends. I really enjoyed it until the last boss fight. The ending is very disappointing. A giant middle finger to the player and the reason I give this a 2. It doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there. This game didn't get there.
Dec 1, 2011I do not like this game due to the fact that it's a complete rip off of the Fallout Series created by Bethesda. When I first played it I thought it was a pretty good game, it felt great playing it until I realised I liked this game because it was exactly like Fallout but then I realised of how a true rip off it was, it's terrible compared to Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas! How people call this game a good game? It's a complete rip off and I don't reccommend it to ANYONE but I wouold recommend the Fallout series to ANY gamer.… Expand
Dec 3, 2011This game was fantastic. The online modes are fun, the game itself is addictive, non linear, and open world (to an extent), and the enemies are fun to fight. All this, and them... boom. It was crippled by the absolute worst ending that I have ever seen in any game, book, movie, TV series... it was an ending that made me visibly mad at the developers. Even though I still had quests I could do, the online modes are still fun, and I could see this game having replay value seeping from all parts, I have not been able to bring myself to play it since I beat it and experienced... that ending... It's worth buying, especially since it goes on sale every month on Steam, but prepare to be more disappointed than you have been with any game you have ever played. Also, some glitches here and there, a couple of story holes, and the fact that shotguns are just random damage generators irked me a little throughout the game, but not too horribly so.… Expand
Jan 5, 2013Were there something more to this game then just a shooter with arcade-feeling, despite the story lane, the game would probably be really awesome. Just not in it's current state.
Apr 6, 2013Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
Apr 26, 2013That game is weird, stupid, pointless and looks like "backyard game". Why so good scores? I bought at steam and couldnt play more than 2 hours, really.
Apr 25, 2011This was a fun game when I bought it the first time, (well family did so). Then I got my own copy on steam years later and using the same PC and now I have all the DLC unlike before and it just doesn't work. Big fail in my books at least. They claim to have "solutions" on their website and short of flashing my BIOS (Which I don't have issues with) and re-installing windows which I just came from a re-install only two months ago and I haven't added much of anything YET on my PC. I followed everything, but the XP re-install, but if you read the forums for hours on end you'll notice that people try the fixes that don't work for most! This is the ONLY game out of many that I play that, but this is the ONLY has this issues. Well, other games have problems too but they have solutions and not silly rituals. They don't have a solution for this clear problem with random crashing. All the crashing has made me an anti-fan. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game but a terrible company. Well I guess they're good at making money; selling and marketing this software that just doesn't work! So great at making money terrible at programing software! ...however you want to look at it.
Gear box I don't care if you made every game in the world, I'll never buy again!… Expand
Jul 15, 2013Borderlands is a boring game with the most repetitive gameplay possible. Shoot enemies and collect loot, that's all there is to it.
There is little enemy variety, they only scale in level, so you'll be shooting the same enemies over and over and over in the boring wasteland that is Borderlands. Combat AI is just meh, enemies are pretty stupid and their bad AI is guaranteed to give you a disadvantage. Most enemies require little to no strategy for killing them, just shoot them. This game relies so much on leveling that you can't even kill enemies that are 5 levels above you, and what do you do to gain levels? Do missions (or shoot enemies for XP if you feel like torturing yourself for something even slower)
The missions in this game are incredibly pathetic. They're given by some NPCs (AKA quest menus because you can't interact with them at all) and involve going to random places to grab items or shoot more enemies (because you can't get enough of that, right?)
Just in case you don't feel like doing every single one of these thousand fetch quests, a little annoying robot will message you about them every minute, and it's really freaking annoying.
Plenty of this game revolves around finding better equipment to kill the same enemies that keep increasing in level. The amount of weapons you can find in this game is diminished by the fact that every gun is a recolor with random generated stats. The best word to describe the looting system would be 'bland'.
I don't care much for graphics, but most textures in this game are kind of blurry, even the gun textures that you'll be looking at 24/7.
There aren't many music tracks in this game, but the few you get aren't bad at all. Even the background music you hear all the time doesn't seem to get tiring, for me at least.… Expand
Sep 1, 2011Borderlands is an FPS in the vein of Serious Sam. Forget the claims that it's an RPG - it's even lighter than Diablo in the RPG department (Gauntlet may be a much better comparison).
There are a number of odd design decisions that are not helpful.
For example, vehicles are mouse and keyboard controlled. I'm more used to keyboard (or wheel) controlled, which means I'm often running into rocks and the like.
Saves are checkpoint based, meaning that you're ****** if you're part-way through an area and need to quit to go to work or whatever.
No reason to explore - seriously, why open-world if there's no benefit to exploring?
Lack of fast travel options - I think maybe 25% of my time has been spent on missions, the rest is traveling between locations and fighting through the enemy spawn zones that you travel through every 10 yards or so.
Slot based inventory - come on, a pistol just doesn't take up the same space as a rifle. Weight or area based inventory systems are much superior. It also means I can carry the ammo I want - not what is forced on me.… Expand
Jun 15, 2013This game is the definition of tedious. You know how they made enemies more difficult? They gave them bullet proof armour, that's it. They made you click the fire button more at that enemy than at this other enemy. Some people seem to relish all the loot and finding a gun that deals a few extra points of damage, alas I am not one of those people. Especially when the menu system is unchanged from the console version and the mouse handles terribly just like many other half-assed ports. This might be acceptable on a console, but it fails on the PC. 3/10 for some of the humour.… Expand
Dec 23, 2013Overall, the game is O.K. if you play it with some friends but otherwise, it's not really worth it. The game play is boring and sometimes annoying. The missions are the exact same, just more stronger enemies in each new mission. The FOV is disgusting and vehicle controls with the keyboard isn't great. The comedy can be funny or mediocre but I never enjoyed. The only thing making me give this a score of 4 than 2 is that it can sometimes be fun playing it with some friends and the music is good. I do recommend Borderlands 2 since it does solve some problems this game has but personally, I would refund this game since it's just sitting in my library but Steam wouldn't do that so yea.… Expand
Nov 21, 2013For me, this game was extremely dull and repetitive. Played it for 5 hours and then uninstalled.
Luckily, I got a free copy of Mafia II with it so that purchase wasn't a total waste.
Oct 26, 2014Game play is great very fun and a decent improvement from BL2. Maps are entertaining and guns are cooler and more fun, but the story was done horribly. This game is the size of two BL2 add ons. At the end of the game you are left high and dry expecting more action, but instead you are left with a piece of **** cliff hanger. So many questions go unanswered. This game has made be hate the Borderlands series. The series has turned into just another game company that only cares about money, and not if the product they are selling is actually good. this game should be selling for half of its price.… Expand
It's something action role-playing game fans looking for an experience more up-close and brutal than genre entries of the third-person variety should have a blast with, and one of the more memorable products of 2009.
With tons of weapons to find, a great co-op system, fantastic art, and a whole bunch of exploding bodies, Borderlands is worth your money. Even when I feel that the game is starting to get repetitive, there's something about it that keeps me playing.
I think you'll agree that when you've got guns blazing from four players at once and loot is flying everywhere, Borderlands easily makes up for any perceived shortcomings.

Inside Simon Annand's Latest Photo Exhibition, featuring Cate Blanchett, Colin Firth, and Daniel Craig
"If you want to know more about actors, here's the place," the late Eve Arnold said of Simon Annand. For 30 years Annand has been photographing actors and actresses in their dressing rooms before performances, capturing those final tense moments before the star hits the stage. It's a moment filled with fear and anticipation, confidence and self-doubt, when the actor is not wholly himself but has not yet stepped out onto the stage to become his character. Below, a selection of the photographer's work from his latest exhibition at the Idea Generation Gallery, which runs through April 8, and samples from his book The Half: Photographs of Actors Preparing for the Stage.

What's the Matter with "Funness"?
September 27, 2012By Ben Zimmer
In my most recent column for the Boston Globe, I poke fun at new advertising slogans that Apple is using for its iPod line: the latest iPod Nano is "Completely Renanoed," while the iPod Touch is "Engineered for Maximum Funness." Whereas renanoed at least shows a modicum of creativity (turning Nano into a verb capable of taking the re- prefix), funness seems to be an unnecessarily cutesy elaboration on plain old fun. But hang on: can we make a distinction between fun and funness? Continue reading...

best blueberry pie in Maine??
this should be peak season.
The past few summers we've been spending a few weeks in ME and doing a tastetest of bliueberry pie, and seriously, I know the chowhounders will mock me, but the absolute best we found was at the:
Dunstan School Restaurant RR 1 Scarborough, ME 04074
they have a buffet daily but if you don't want to partake they will sell you a whole pie. You have to call ahead though and tell them you want to order a pie to go.
The best blueberry pie in Maine has got to be made by "The Pie Lady" on Mt. Desert Island. On the left as you're travelling on the main drag going in to Bar Harbor. She and her husband make glorious pies in their home kitchen and they sell out quickly each morning. The apple pie was to die for, too. We were there last summer during blueberry season. You might have to wait a few weeks for peak fruit, as the blueberries aren't quite ready yet.
re: Bivalve88
Yeh, yaknow, I think you're right. Rt 3 in Salisbury cove. About a 1/4 mi after King's Creek, towards, BH on yur left. Also on Rt. 1 on the rt leaving Bucksport, just after EBS.
re: Bivalve88
I disagree. I had high hopes for the pie lady and was disappointed. She was below average in filling and crust. I take my quest for the best blueberry pie quite seriously. I tasted Helen's in Machias - I've tasted Moody's- I've had pie just about every place on Mount Desert Island. The best I've found by far is the Cottage Street Bakery. Pie LAdy in Salisbujrry Cove, pie lady just outside of Bar Harbor toward Eagle lake, pie lady off Seal Cove Road, Quietside Cafe special order pies, Somesville Church pie ladies - all of them were mild to MAJOR disappointments. Cottage Street Bakery has been consistently good for the last 5 years. Excellent filling - nearly perfect crust top and bottom. I did hear that a famous pie making lady is opening a little pie and bakery shop on Main Street in Bar Harbor on Saturday August 16th. She claims her family used to own a restaurant where people lined up for the pies when they were brought out of the oven. Supposedly Rockefeller was a big customer. Holly Hobby Bakery or somnething like that. We'll see if the reality lives up to the legend in 2 days. I'm a tough customer. You really need to bring an "A" game on crust and filling to get my nod.
re: maxcaffein
Green Hollow Orchards makes an incredible pie with a killer crust. It's located in Whitefield in the middle of nowhere, but you can find them at Boothbay Farmers mkt from June-Sept. Go early--they sell out!
re: blueberrypete
I'm not sure if it's still the same bakery (I was half asleep when I got in line), but I steered for the one with the longest line. I wound up getting donuts (not so good, kind of bready), cinnamon buns (really outstanding, I think they used brioche dough), raspberry pie (very tart, but perfectly balanced with vanilla ice cream, crust crunchy but tender), and blueberry pie (nicely balanced, held together better than the raspberry). All in all, some of the best fruit pies I've had. People cut the line like mad, though.
re: Bivalve88
I though the Pie Lady on the road to Bar Harbor was decent as well. We picked up one up on way home from Bar Harbor and I had to smell warm pie alllll the way home!! I would love to try the one that is supposed to open in Bar Harbor. I love blueberry pie and I only will eat Maine wild blueberries. Those things you get in grocery stores or even at local farm stands do not hold a candle to the Maine ones.
re: Bivalve88
Okay, I was lucky enough last Friday (August 15) to get a blueberry pie from the new "Hobby Holly" Bakery on Main Street in Bar Harbor (see my previous post). This was the real deal. The filling was absolutely excellent and her crust was tasty and flaky on the top AND the bottom too - how does she do that? This has now surpassed Cottage Street Bakery and the best blueberry pie on Mount Desert Island. Salisbury Cove Pie lady's blueberry pie is minor league compared to this. The Hobby Holly bakery is a bit hard to find because it has a small sign - it's way up Main Street by Island Cards and Gifts and shares a sign and building with her husband's plumbing and heating business. But her pies are worth hunting down. A+
re: maxcaffein
Wicked good!
re: Bivalve88
I bought two pies at the Pie Lady's Bucksport location last summer. One blueberry (magnificent filling - thick enough to stand up but not gummy, crisp crust, perfect) and one apple (disappointing for the mushy bottom crust.) She gets my vote for best blueberry pie.
Best Blueberry pie in Maine is at Mae's Cafe in Bath, formerly Krisina's. They also have a great wildberry pie....
Just had an amazing one-crust blueberry pie (2 inches high of wild blueberries) with a real whipped cream topping -
Tall Barneys in Jonesport.
Amy's Pies are very good. I'm partial to the chocolate cream, but the Blueberry is right up there with the best of 'em. I get mine at the Thomaston Grocery( call ahead and have them hold one or special-order one for you)....but I've seen them at some other mid-coast locations too.
re: beckyvelo
In Bucksport it's a small stand on the side of the road in her front yard. She bakes the pies in her house and sells them at the stand.
re: xcptnl
I'm up here now and will investigate!
re: sinned61
Thank you-you are the best!!!! I know where the Cottage Street Bakery is but that has mixed reviews.
re: xcptnl
Well, upon investigation, I'd say this place is GONE! Looked around upper Main St near /Island Cards and Gifts. Saw a Plumbing and Heating business (Jordans?) but NO HOBBY HOLLY or any other name bakery near there......I hope Maxcaffiene can check in and tell us what happened.....looks like I'll visit the Pie Lady (Perkins Pies?) up Rte 3 on my way out on Saturday....BUMMAH!
re: sinned61
Darnit! I will also be stopping at the pie lady on the way home....I will have to smell warm pie all the way home again! I was so hoping the Hobby Holly place was still there. They should have shops like Key West has for Key Lime Pies.
The blueberry pie at Pie In The Sky in Cape Nedick is the best I've tasted. Expensive, but excellent.
3 questions:
1) Is it still peak wild blueberry season in Maine? i'll be driving up the coast to the Down East section this weekend and was hoping to go to a pick-your-own wild blueberry field in the Machias/Jonesboro area (since that's where wild blueberry fields seem to be the most abundant).
If peak season is over, does that mean that the pick-your-own blueberry fields are all closed, too? Sorry if that's an obvious question.
2) Any updates on the best blueberry pies in the state? I'll be travelling the entire coast so I'm open to any and all suggestions.
3) Any word on Hobby Holly Bakery, whose pies were raved about in this thread by "maxcaffein" last August but apparently is no longer there? It's supposed to be located on Main Street in Bar Harbor.
Has anybody else been to this place? If so, is it really gone, or is it just hard to find? Was maxcaffein just pulling our legs? ;>)
Oh, and one other thing:
Are the pies at Helen's in Machias/Ellsworth really as mediocre these days as some people are suggesting? I had their blueberry and strawberry pies a few years ago (both locations) and thought they were very good, but have they gotten worse since then?
Some people on these boards have been saying that the Bluebird Ranch in Machias and Tall Barney's in Jonesport have better pies than Helen's. The post below by MABMAQ from August 19, 2008 mentions that Tall Barney's serves a pie with about 2 inches of WILD blueberries and real whipped cream in a one-crust pie. Can anyone else verify this?
re: freshfigs
Forgot to mention Priscilla's Pies in Bucksport,, which is supposed to be amazing:
Can anyone confirm whether this place lives up to the hype? I'm assuming that they're serving blueberry pies right now.
re: freshfigs
All I can tell you is that pie is my favorite dessert, and Priscilla's is my favorite pie. But pie, like many foods, is subjective. Some people prefer a double crust on their fruit pie (me, for instance), others prefer a crumb or whipped cream topping. You will just have to pay a visit to Priscilla and Stanley and judge for yourself, and then add your yea or nay to the board. Only way to build a consensus.
re: groaker
Thanks - Priscilla's will definitely be on my must-do list.
Do you know if they use wild blueberries in their pies during peak wildbluberry season? Or do they use more generic commercial blueberries?
re: freshfigs
If by "wild blueberries" you mean does Stanley go up into the hills, find some blueberry bushes that nobody owns, and pick them himself, then I would say no - he is rather old for that. I do know that they buy local fruit when it is in season, because the last time I was there Stanley had just purchased 20 or 30 pounds of blackberries. Priscilla also uses the fruit to make "Jamly" (Jam. Jelly. Get it?), which she puts up in jars that you can buy.
re: freshfigs
IMHO, Helen's is nowhere near as good as it used to be. In Machias, things have generally gone downhill since their daughter and spouse took over a few years ago.
I haven't been to Bluebird Ranch in a while, so I can't say, but in the past they have been good. My mother is especially fond of the German chocolate cake.
re: freshfigs
We tried Helens when we were just there and the blueberry pies were killer. I had the blueberry mile high with real whipped cream just as high, and hubby had the regular and they were both excellent.
Rudy's in Cape Elizabeth. Phenomenal. Sorry they only had the one pie.
The rest of their food was fantastic too. Whole belly clams, shrimp, scallops and haddock. A hamburger smashed out by hand for the non-seafood types. The decor is a combo of diner and convenience store, but the food was simply fantastic.
re: freshfigs
Around here (Southern Midcoast) we're at the tail end of blueberry season. Further north it might still be going strong.
re: freshfigs
I think we determined that Hobby Holly was no where to be found. I stopped at the Pie Lady on the way home (mid-August) and got a fantastic blueberry to bring home. It was really good. The crust was flaky and the blueberries yummy and fresh!
re: xcptnl
Yeah I'm the sucker who looked for Hobby Holly. I wonder if it ever existed??? The Pie Lady rules!!!
re: sinned61
Yes she does!! I got a slice at the Cottage Street Bakery.while we were there in August....not so good.
I love when we stop at the Pie Lady on the way home around 9 am and the pies are still warm...man o man!
re: xcptnl
Definitely NOT Helen's - dull filling, BAD crust.
I have always liked Acres of Wildlife Campground's pies. They are on Route 113 on the right just past the Village of Steep Falls in Standish going west. Long approach road in, but the Blueberry pies are great!

KYIV, Ukraine, January 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Ukraine took the fourth spot in the global online earnings rating on the list of the global web employment platform Elance. Total lifetime earnings by Ukrainian freelancers exceeded USD 38 million, with nearly USD 35.7 million gained by the IT industry, states the report. Over the last decade the country has demonstrated steady growth in IT outsourcing, providing services and workforce for the world's top corporations.
The global earnings leader is the U.S. (more than USD 166 million). India comes a close second with USD 165 million. Pakistan takes the third position on the list, surpassing Ukraine by mere USD 1.7 million. The fifth position on the Elance rating is taken by Canada, whose online freelancers' total earnings constituted less than half of the amount earned by Ukrainians. Curiously, Canada's freelancers earned more in creative jobs (over USD 9 million), rather than IT (USD 7 million).
The UK was the sixth on the list with the correlation between creative and IT earnings that was similar to Canada's. Interestingly, Romania became the seventh of the Elance list. Ukraine's neighbor also earned majority of its total USD 16.4 million in IT salaries. Another Ukrainian neighbor - Russia was eighth.
The report states that top in-demand IT skills included security analysis, software testing, security engineering, oracle, and game programming. Creative skills were speech writing, calligraphy, sports writing, photography, and script writing. The most recent data featured in the Elance report dates back to the third quarter of 2012.
In August 2012, Financial Times noted the boom in Ukrainian IT sector over the last decade. Article Tapping Ukraine's IT Potential informed that Ukraine earned more than USD 1 billion on its IT services export in 2011 alone. Remarkably, estimated 16,000 IT specialists graduate in Ukraine every year. The country boasts the largest pool of engineering resources in Central and Eastern Europe. Ukraine is also the world's fifth largest software exporter.
In 2013-2023, enterprises producing software are exempt from VAT on software supply operations in Ukraine. The tax relief will apply to the supply of operating systems, regular computer programs, online services, etc. Nearly 1,000 outsourcing companies are registered in Ukraine. They provide services to Microsoft, HP, IBM, EBay, etc.

Eugenic Nation
Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in Modern America
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreMany people assume that eugenics all but disappeared with the fall of Nazism, but as this sweeping history demonstrates, the idea of better breeding had a wide and surprising reach in the United States throughout the twentieth century. With an original emphasis on the American West, Eugenic Nation brings to light many little-known facts—for example, that one-third of the involuntary sterilizations in this country occurred in California between 1909 and 1979—as it explores the influence of eugenics on phenomena as varied as race-based intelligence tests, school segregation, tropical medicine, the Border Patrol, and the environmental movement.
Eugenic Nation begins in the 1900s, when influential California eugenicists molded an extensive agenda of better breeding for the rest of the country. The book traces hereditarian theories of sex and gender to the culture of conformity of the 1950s and moves to the 1960s, arguing that the liberation movements of that decade emerged in part as a challenge to policies and practices informed by eugenics. less

Maybe a child gets sick, or there's a sudden emergency at work that means you have had to bring home 3 or more hours of work you have to do that night, even though if folks had been on the ball it would have been easily handled a week ago...
Or maybe a relative calls saying she lost her job because there was a mess-up, and they needed a token fire, and who cares that she wasn't involved in the error-
and so I am running around, switching the contents of several upstairs rooms, preparing for my aunt (the one with CD) and her dog, who will, with 95% certainty, be arriving from Tennessee. We live in Iowa.
For others, it's easier. When there's a sudden emergency, time wise, or a longer period when they're extra busy, the fast-food places and the TV dinners have a bounty of choices.
We have to plan more.
Some of the items I talked about as being pantry essentials are quick-cook meals. The family's bean chili recipe is quick, even if I take extra steps than when Mom did it.
She used the dry onion flakes from the spice aisle, as well as the garlic powder. I always have onions and garlic, and since the chili uses a small amount I put the rest in the fridge or dice it all and put it in the freezer (unless I used what was in the fridge or freezer obviously). She dumped everything in the pot, I soften the onions and garlic in a touch of oil, add the spices, and then add the tomatoes and beans. I keep a mini bottle of wine in the fridge, usually, and add a few tablespoons since there are alcohol-soluable flavors in tomatoes you don't get without alcohol.
But for me, cooking is relaxing, it only adds a few minutes, and the depth of flavor is soothing afterwards.
We can't just open many cans of soup. I like the Thai Kitchen noodle bowls, but they serve one. But I keep some packages of Imagine tomato soup on hand, along with cans of roasted diced tomatoes and

If California defies the new medicine's economics by requiring insurers to ignore everything but age and geography, firms can flee to Texas or Shanghai. Efficient labor markets require efficient health insurance, which will be found only where actuaries are allowed to find out as much as the rest of us can, and craft policies accordingly.

Cloud Standards and Innovation
By Jacob Lamm, CA Technologies
Cloud computing has been written about extensively. Yet just when you thought that everything you wanted to know about clouds has been covered, along comes a new book by Marv Waschke suggesting that you look at cloud computing from another angle. Standards anyone? In "Cloud Standards: Agreements That Hold Together Clouds," Waschke argues that without the standards that keep all of its component technologies from varied sources working together, cloud computing as we know it today would not be possible.
Add to that, without standards, innovation in the cloud would not be possible-or at a minimum would be severely hampered. Read the full article.

Instead, companies should be focusing on starting their cloud adoption efforts with new capabilities, as moving legacy applications may be too expensive and aren't built to take full advantage of the cloud.
