Mars, bringer of WAR: Quatermass and the Pit
"When I wrote the Quatermass stories, I couldn't help drawing on the forces and the fears that affected people in the 1950s," wrote Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale in 1996. His inspiration for Professor Bernard Quatermass' third appearance on television had been the Notting Hill race riots that struck the London suburb during …
I was 16 when I saw The Pit on TV and despite being a mascho teenager it frightened the crap out of me.
Apart from the scary action sequences (i.e when the dead martians fell to pieces) it was the whole concept of the human race as having a "race memory" peopled with hideous fears and drives. The story might be fiction but I could see how beneath our civilised "skin" we might all have the seathing horror of the primative and animalistic lurking in our brains. That's what really scared me.
Re: Scary
"...beneath our civilised "skin" we might all have the seathing horror of the primative and animalistic lurking in our brains."
Jeremy Kyle's show has that effect on me now.
Re: Scary
I was only 11 when this came out. Talk about hiding behind the sofa! My only consolation was that my 13yo brother got there first. Later, we seemed to have a tacit agreement to never mention it no matter how angry we got with each other.
I can still clearly remember the really scary bits with a delicious shiver!
Re: Scary @Will Godfrey
"Later, we seemed to have a tacit agreement to never mention it no matter how angry we got with each other"
Well you've let the cat out of the bag now!
Heresy I know...
But I prefer the Hammer film.
Great TV, great film
I was too young to see the original TV broadcast - not sure we even had a TV back then - but the film was, I think, the first "X" rated movie I saw ... accompanied by an understanding father who actually bought the tickets.
The film was, I thought, excellent and when I finally caught up with the serial I was surprised to see how close the two were. The film was almost an edited and coloured version of the serial. The film makers had resisted the temptation to "improve" and it was all the better for that.
great film
Have the Hammer film in my film 'collection' - quality Hammer film-making (they DID make some good ones!) must have good copy as it also still looks good on the TV
Let us not forget the Quatermas-inspired Hancock and the Pit.
Sid James; "Listen, anything that comes out of that hole will get a punch right up the bracket."
Hancock; "Has it occurred to you that these creatures may not have a bracket to be punched up?"
Great stuff!
Don't forget the Goon version...
'The Scarlet Capsule.
Starts (Andrew Timothy, father of vet actor Christopher):
"This is the terror-stricken service of the BBC. Today at approximately this afternoon, a discovery was made on the site of the Notting Hill Gate site of the government's new dig-up-the-roads-plan-for-congesting-traffic scheme. Workmen in the absence of a strike settled for work as an alternative. It was during this brief lull in high-powered inertia that Morris Onions, a scaffolder's knee-wrencher, stumbled across something he'd found. Ding-dong-billy-bong! I would like it known that though I read this stuff, I don't write it. Ftang!"
This character should be resurrected if for no other reason than the name "Quatermass" is so awesome.
"rather phallic Martian pod"
Yes, like a cross between a Dalek and a dildo.
There's an unnerving thought...
Re: "rather phallic Martian pod"
Re: "rather phallic Martian pod"
Meh! Why do people see sex everywhere? I'm betting you'd even see a penis as being phallic!
Re: "rather phallic Martian pod"
You almost owed me 3 monitors and repaint of a wall as well.
Thanks El Reg
As an American, I would have never heard of Quartermass, and it's absolutely fascinating.
Re: Thanks El Reg
Maybe so, but have you heard of Quatermass?
Not taped but transmitted live
well according to the team that did the restoration for the DVD release:
" All three serials were transmitted live from BBC studios in London, using the 405-line television system"
With all the religious tension going on today and talk about going to Mars. Maybe it's time for a modern remake. hint..
A modern remake like they did with Edge of Darkness?
Or a proper one?
See John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, which is so much based on this that I hope Kneale got royalties.
It would also have made the basis of a much better final series of Being Human than the embarrassment of the final episode did.
To me the TV version of the "Pit" was superior to the film which lost out particularly because it was over lit and the colour production removed the malevolent air of the piece. It was a fabulous creation of the time and I do not think that any recreation could scare the audience half as well as the original.
I remember the movie...
Five Million Years to Earth. Scared the daylights out of me as a kid when I saw it on TV. I think of it as one of the classics of SciFi films. Growing up in the States I never knew about the Quatermass series until i saw these articles.

Bong Guerrero is back in Dubai
Filipino promoter's NYE party is his first event in seven years Discuss this article
Party people living in Dubai in the early noughties will remember Bong's legendary club nights – among them Poizon, ELV8, Fresh Nights and Wicked. After a sudden disappearance from the public scene, the extraverted 36-year-old Filipino promoter is back, hosting a NYE party that marks his first public event in seven years. We found out more.
His real name sounds like a Mexican heartthrob – Wilfredo Garcia Delfiero Guerrero.
'When I was a kid my parents called me Bong-Bong, I didn't respond to Wilfredo at all. It's probably one of my greatest assets and I thank my parents for it. From day one at school it gave me an advantage.'
He's a Dubai veteran of more than two decades, emigrating to the UAE in 1990.
'I came out of college in California and I had some very good friends from Dubai who invited me. I had no expectations: I just wanted to use those years to explore. Coming from San Francisco this was a village, but there was something really nice and interesting about it.'
He ran a Dubai fashion house from 1990 until 1998.
'We were the largest fashion house in the Middle East. It started by accident, like everything in my life, but it was significant to me. Yet as much as I enjoyed it, it really wasn't my kind of thing. In those days everything was very new in Dubai.'
In 2000 he moved into nightlife, where he is said to have pioneered a long list of Dubai firsts.
'I was the first one to adopt a guest list only policy. We were the first ones to throw a Friday night party when Saturday was still the first day of the working week. People said we were crazy to do that, and I said, "Those who can will come". I was the first person to send SMS blasts. I was the first to have a database of Dubai's big spenders and party beautiful, and I'm pretty sure it's been stolen.'
In 2005 he threw in the towel on nightlife, instead moving into the corporate world, where he hosts events for likes of Puma, Tiffany & Co, Fendi, Google and Mercedes.
'I was very nocturnal for five years, sleeping during the day and going out five nights a week. On a personal level I just wanted to change a few things, so I gave up smoking and took up yoga.'
But now Bong is preparing a comeback with his Lucky 13 NYE party at Giannino, and plans for a new quarterly night called Fiktion in 2013.
'Over the years a lot of our friends have asked, "When will you start throwing parties again?" It was always at the back of my mind. I feel there's a gap right now. Dubai's nightlife has evolved quite quickly, but we all still feel as though there's something missing. I've hung onto the Bong name – and I've decided 2013 is the time I'm going to let it back out.'
Interview: Rob Garratt. Bong Presents Lucky 13 on Monday December 31, 10pm-3am. Tickets Dhs850, with VIP options available. Giannino, Meydan Beach Club (050 102 4615).

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - Hagerstown Regional Airport is welcoming back an airline offering flights to Orlando after a nearly two-year break.
Airport officials said Thursday that Allegiant Air will resume twice-weekly flights to Sanford International Airport on May 25.
The Las Vegas-based carrier pulled out of Hagerstown in July 2010 after providing the service for about 19 months. The company cited weak demand for the flights.
The western Maryland city is also served by Cape Air, which provides federally subsidized flights to Baltimore several times a day.
Hagerstown has been served by a succession of destination-oriented carriers. The most recent was Direct Air, which ended service to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Lakeland, Fla., in August.

Scraping Wood with Rob Cosman DVD
Rob is a great first class woodworker.. I expected a little more information on a higher level or advanced level when he talked about scraper planes.. he spent 2/3rd's of time of the video sharpening a hand scraper, and a short segment on scraper planes and is the primary reason why i bought the video.. practical application and demonstration is what i expected..left me feeling like my wallet took a scraping for the price of the DVD...

65 – Number of days until pitchers and catchers report
112– Number of days until Opening Day
The Winter Meetings have begun in Orlando for the next four days. Everyone in the industry is there to take part in what really is a trade show. On this first official day of business there have been some big stories that are already breaking so let's not waste any time.
68 – Number of days until pitchers and catchers report
115– Number of days until Opening Day
My seat is hot because the hot stove has been on fire this week. This is unbelievable what is happening right now. Robinson Cano to the Seattle Mariners, Curtis Granderson to the New York Mets, Scott Feldman to the Houston Astros, and rumors of other big names are flying all over the place. The money that teams are spending is staggering right now and this hectic pass is going to keep going as the Winter Meetings begin on Sunday afternoon. All I can say is television money is good. Really good!

No day is more suitable than today for reflecting on the greatness of our first president, George Washington. He was born on this date in 1732.
Nearly three centuries later, we marvel at his wise and stalwart guidance during the American Revolution and in the formative years of our United States of America.
Washington's leadership was vital in throwing off the yoke of British tyranny and establishing the greatest, freest, richest country the world has ever known.
But Gen. Washington was not only "first in war" but also "first in peace" and "first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Unwilling to establish anything akin to a monarchy in the United States, Washington declined to serve more than two terms as president. While more terms of service by a president of Washington's stature and goodness might have seemed desirable in the short term, he surely knew that unlimited terms could become a curse on the nation if a power-hungry president took office.
The custom of presidents being elected to serve only two terms was wisely upheld voluntarily for more than a century. Then Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four times, in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944. He died in office in 1945.
Prudently, in 1951, the 22nd Amendment to our Constitution was ratified, so today, no one may be elected to the presidency more than twice.
As we remember Washington's legacy, it is important for us to examine our modern United States of America and consider whether we are living up to the lofty principles that our Founding Fathers established—principles that made this the finest country in history.
Would Washington embrace today's reckless government spending, which makes a mockery of our Constitution's clear limits on federal authority? Even allowing for inflation over the centuries, would he find it conceivable that the United States has amassed a $14 trillion debt—with trillions more on the way? Would he accept the fact that much of our debt is owed to foreign nations?
Would he approve of federal dictation in medical care, in education and in many other things that the Constitution left to the states or the people—and prohibited to the federal government?
Wouldn't he instead be shocked upon seeing our government's assumption of so much power in almost every area of our lives. Wouldn't he plead with President Barack Obama and our Congress to restore respect for the Constitution's limitations on government authority?
Our hearts swell with pride as we remember George Washington. But we can best honor his memory by upholding the principles that he and our Constitution helped establish.
As for Washington himself, consider some remarks by another great American, Abraham Lincoln, in 1842 on the 110th anniversary of Washington's birth: "On that name a eulogy is expected. It cannot be. To add brightness to the sun, or glory to the name of Washington, is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its naked, deathless splendor, leave it shining on."
george washington to barack obama.....my how the standards have been lowered.
if obama had to set the precedent, we would have been subjected to a long line of dictators,monarchs or some sort of authoritarian, and the constitution would be whatever it needed to be in order for the person at the top to maintain power.
I'm not sure that breaking away from our King was a good idea. It was certainly illegal. We were a part of the largest Empire that the world had ever seen and threw it aside. Of course now that the PM is running Great Britain and the Queen is only a figurehead I wouldn't want to go back. You know when Prince Harry becomes King he might just decide to send the Royal Navy to take Massachusetts back.

One way to do it
Just thought I would share this piece of communication from my son's school. Â he attends a middle school that has a unique focus on its approach to learning and character development and there is a lot I like about it. Â I especially like the way there are certain traditions that flow, giving a time for mentorship and responsibility. Â Check this out:
November 1st Late Start
It has been a tradition  for the grade six class to try and formulate a valid argument (i.e. in the Practical Reasoning class) as to why students should be allowed to come late to school (i.e. 10:30) on November 1st (the day after Halloween). Given that the older students often tutor the younger students with the best arguments over the years, it is a fair bet that the students will win their argument. Just a heads-up, then, that it is almost certainly the case that there will be a 10:30 start on Thursday, November 1st.  Off-island students can therefore board the 10:00 ferry, if they choose. Note that the school will be open at 8:30 am as usual for those students who need to come in early, in any case.
As a life learner, my son has chosen to attend this school as part of his learning in life. Â It's stuff like this that confirms my insticnts about his ability to choose his mentors and his learning opportunities to balance wisdom and fun.
One Comment
I was there this morning, as one of the imported art mentors. Watching the morning stretches, thoughts for the day, communications from various students with various interests and commitments at the school makes me really glad this opportunity exists (for some). It's wonderful to see the kids take such ownership and pride in their activities; to view themselves as a part of the whole system; equal to their teachers and valued in their individual existences and contributions.
I wish more people could both see the beauty of this and also benefit from it.

Google recently released their Automatic Item Update tool out of beta for Shopping Campaigns. First introduced back in Q2 2013 for Product Listing Ad (PLA) campaigns and offered as a beta, the Automatic Item Update tool helps advertisers improve the accuracy of their Google Shopping listings by using product data pulled directly from the advertiser's site.
The comparison shopping engine Pronto recently announced via email that, beginning November 20th, they would no longer work directly with retailers to publish ads to their site
New and different Shopping result format tests are seemingly being pushed out every day. While most of these tests have shown relatively small differences in how the different products are displayed, such as being sorted by price as opposed to having prices mixed together, a new test seems to be taking the biggest leap yet in terms of impacting user experience, this time encroaching on brand oriented searches.
Google recently released a new tool in the Merchant Center that has made uploading Merchant Promotions for PLAs a bit more straightforward, allowing sites to add Merchant Promos with the click of a button.
Today we are excited to release the Q3 2014 Edition of the RKG Digital Marketing Report. Download the report for over 50 detailed charts with insights and analysis on trends in paid search, search engine optimization, social media, product listing ads (PLAs), comparison shopping engines, display advertising and more.
Google announced last week that PLAs are now be eligible to show on retail and commerce sites in the Google Search Network, similar to how text ads can currently show on search partner sites. Overall, we think this will be a positive for advertising retailers as it will increase PLA reach and volume.
Part two of our three-part video series on Google Shopping Campaigns covers best practices for structuring your new Google Shopping Campaigns, along with pros and cons for three potential campaign structures.
Part one of our three-part video series on Google Shopping Campaigns takes you through key differences between Google Shopping Campaigns and legacy PLA campaigns.
Discover just how well digital channels performed in Q2 of 2014, along with which factors drove growth the most, in this video from Paid Search VP Rachel Schnorr.
Here's our take on a new extension for Google Product Listing Ads called Product Ratings. Product Ratings are displayed on a 5-star ranking system based on aggregated data from a variety of sources across the web.
We are happy to announce the release of the RKG Digital Marketing Report for Q2 2014. This quarter's report offers over 50 charts with insights and analysis on trends in paid search, search engine optimization, social media, product listing ads (PLAs), comparison shopping engines, display advertising and more.
Many marketers have misunderstood the Shopping Campaign priority feature as allowing advertisers to specify that Google serve a particular product or set of products over other relevant products in lower priority campaigns. This is not the case.
With PLAs making up an increasingly significant chunk of advertisers' paid search programs, the Google Shopping Campaigns transition is understandably a hot topic right now across the industry. Here is a quick overview of some of the enhancements you can expect to see after transitioning to the new Shopping Campaigns, along with our take on how to structure your campaigns for success.
Google's recently released whitepaper outlining recommendations for the soon to be mandatory Shopping Campaign model offers up best practices for feed optimization, campaign structure, bid management, and mobile strategy. While there's plenty to dissect in this whitepaper, I found it interesting that Google chose not to mention item ID level targets at all in their structural recommendations.
In this video, discover the latest on product ads for both Google and Bing. We'll discuss current and future Google PLA performance trends, detail how Bing's new product ads – recently out of beta – are stacking up, as well as how we think the new Shopping Campaigns will affect performance.
RKG released our latest Digital Marketing Report today, covering Q1 2014. As always, the report spans a wide breadth of the digital marketing industry including paid and organic search, social, mobile, comparison shopping engines and display advertising.
Why the newly released ad group level mobile modifiers, negatives and ad copy controls in Google Shopping Campaigns are so important.
Google PLAs look like both a CSE and paid search. How should you view and manage your PLA program?
Nextag must either improve the quality of their traffic or lower their CPCs in order to stop losing ground to engines delivering better ROI.
Google continues to make SERP changes that blur the line between organic and paid results. We dig into what has changed in recent years.
Paul Koch, Director of Paid Search, offers insight and analysis on product listing ads vs. non-brand text ads from our Q4 2013 Digital Marketing Report. Watch the video to find out how PLAs fared in 2013 and why they need to be a part of retailers digital marketing efforts in 2014.
We are once again happy to announce the release of the latest RKG Digital Marketing Report featuring our analysis of fourth quarter and holiday shopping trends for 2013.
Achieving optimal performance with PLAs and Google Shopping at scale involves far more than just feed management. In this video we touch on a few of the key ideas to keep in mind. Download the full Dossier 4.3 to read the complete article.
Learn how to make best use of auto targets for product listing ads. Also be sure to watch parts one and two in this three part PLA series.
RKG is proud to have delivered great results for Nine West, the popular brand catering to a diverse audience of career- and fashion-minded women, since taking over management of their Paid Search and PLA program last year.

Report from New Tristram March 5, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in Diablo III, entertainment, Path of Exile, Torchlight II.
Tags: Reaper of Souls
Wasn't 2012 going to be the year of the heir to Diablo II?
We had multiple contenders. There was the designated heir, Diablo III and all the weight Blizzard could bring to bear. There was Torchlight II, from a team that included many of the people who actually made Diablo II back in the day. And then there was the dark horse candidate, Path of Exile, planning on a free to play experience and the grandest skill tree ever seen.
Each of them managed to hit a few marks. Diablo III carried on the Diablo story line and was polished in that Blizzard way. Torchlight II clearly had the upper hand on price and play options. And only Path of Exile managed to replicate the dark atmosphere of the past Diablo games.
However, in my opinion, each of them failed in some fundamental way.
Diablo III had always online problems at launch, but the real issue became itemization. Gear drops, ever the life's blood of a Diablo game, were huge in quantity and very bad in quality. The only way to reliably find some gear close to your level was either via a higher level alt or through the auction house. I didn't really want to play via the auction house, but felt I pretty much had to when it came to end of act bosses. Tired of being pulled out of the actual game to upgrade gear, I stopped playing.
Torchlight II was better on itemization. It still had huge quantities, but quality wasn't as universally awful, though without the auction house to fall back on, comparison of at-level gear wasn't as obvious either. However, colorful and well lit graphics hampered any feeling of atmosphere and the story line felt very weak to me. I can give you a synopsis of the story line in all three Diablo games, but couldn't begin to tell you what Torchligh II… or Torchlight… was really about. That and the dev team punting on the Mac version of the game… and just about anything else it seems… thus killing off any chance of playing with my daughter, put the game pretty low on my play list and I haven't been back to it in probably a year.
And then there was Path of Exile, which certainly won on price. It is about a free as free to play can be I suppose, though a friend of mine who played a lot of the game says that there is a point after which
you pretty much have to pay to progress the grind of leveling becomes unbearable. That point is just much farther into the game than I managed to get. While winning on atmosphere, it also had "always online" problems. Basically, melee classes became pretty much unplayable at peak times, and I always play the melee classes and I apparently play at peak hours. That ended that.
So three contenders, all of which I felt I was pretty much done with by the end of last year and none of which I could whole heartedly recommend for one reason or another.
But the dev teams were still working on at least two of the three games. The Blizzard team, while slow to acknowledge that they had a problem, eventually owned up on the itemization front and last week those of us on the PC got Diablo III version 2.0.
It was time for a return to Diablo III. I rolled up a new barbarian and played through act one.
The first thing I was looking at was gear drops. And, hey presto, they did in fact seem to be better in quality and more likely to be relevant to my character. Quest rewards for various stages of the story seemed to be better tuned, mini-bosses along the way seemed much more likely to drop something useful, and even the vendor in town seemed to be stocking a higher quality selection of goods.
In fact, that was going so well that the game started to seem a bit easy. I was blowing through masses of undead or goatmen or whatever without much effort at all. That looked to be the downside of the boost to itemization quality.
But I had another 2.0 feature available to me. I was able to jump directly from Normal to Hard with my character.
This was actually a big win. One of the 2.0 changes was to remove what was effectively level ranges for various areas of the game and, instead, make all of the content scale to your current level. No more out running content and hitting a wall that could only be cured with a serious injection of new gear. (Itemization problem strikes again.) And no more playing through the whole story in normal mode just to get to a higher level of challenge.
While loot quality, experience gained, and gold dropped all went up with this change, difficulty went up enough to more than offset those and made the game much more of a challenge. Rather than cutting through mobs like butter, I actually had to start working for a living. I couldn't just rush into a room and collect everybody the way you can in a 1-60 dungeon finder group in WoW. I found myself in trouble and in any number of close-run fights if I didn't take care.
Still, I am not sure that "hard" is really the right term. It is closer to "not easy" in feel. While I got down to the red screen of limited health now and again, I never once died. It is just the right level of resistance to keep the game interesting.
It was also fun rediscovering some of the cool bits of the game after a long absence. While the atmosphere isn't close to the play of light and shadows that was such a deep part of Diablo II at times… and honestly, none of the three games got all the way there… it isn't the bright and colorful beast that some people were afraid it would be way back when. The atmosphere is pretty good.
Then there was the dynamics of the game while playing the barbarian. For a full on visceral experience, this is the class. I love how elements of the world react when he is pounding out a big attack. Furniture disintegrates, shelves tumble, tapestries whip and swirl, and corpses fly. Oh, and how corpses fly. Ending on a big pound can send multiple foes dead and sailing through the air, sometimes headed completely off screen. (Note the flying goatmen in the screen shot above.) It never gets old.
And the game itself is as well put together as one would expect from a Blizzard product. And the game is divided up into nice, bite size chunks via the waypoints, so you can get in and play for a bit while making it to the next stage of the story. Of course, this can still lead to the "one more waypoint" urge. Not nearly as strong as "just one more turn" is in a Civilization game, but it is there.
There were a few other small features added. We now have a map for the various waypoints as opposed to the old listing that the game and its predecessor used. I guess this adds a bit of immersion, or a sense of place, though it does also point out that I was traveling in a big circle as well.
I made it through to the final boss and remembered enough of it to get through the fight on the first try.
I had rather optimized myself, my skills, and my companion (the Templar this time) for healing, so it was more a matter of building up fury for big hits and staying out of the fire. I did not end up using either of the health shrines in The Butcher's room. And then it was through to Tyreal and the wrap up of Act I.
So far, so good. Now it is on to Act II. We shall see how well the game sticks this time around.
I also managed to get quite a few levels in, as there was a pre-expansion experience boost in effect while I was playing.
That wasn't a big deal to me. I guess it will get me closer to the level cap sooner. Is that a good thing?
And the question remain whether or not I will pick up the Reaper of Souls expansion given what it offers.
I like the idea of Act V, and the Crusader class feels much more like my favorite Diablo II class, the paladin. But is that enough to justify the cost? Has Diablo III version 2.0 changed things up enough that I will make it through Act IV? I have time left to decide. And to play. We shall see.
- 1. Adam D. - March 5, 2014
Hey Wilhelm,
I think you should give Path of Exile a try again. They have fixed a lot of the desync issues for melee (unless you're running specific skills that bounce you all over the place like a pinball… I'm looking at you, Cyclone), and Melee is perfectiy viable. Even though I play on EST, I'm usually playing 7-8PM PST, and do not have any issues. Plus with GGG releasing their new free Expansion today, now would be a great time to jump back in and give it another go.

The Diablo III bug bit me hard this past weekend. I played the game at launch, beat it on Hardcore, lost my character at level 38 or so in Nightmare, and never really looked at it again.
Started up a new character on Friday evening and went at the game like a meth addict. From 0-60 and paragon level 0 to 28 or 29 since Friday night. The XP boosts and itemization increases definitely made it easier. But, like you mentioned, turning the difficulty up to the point where it's not easy definitely keeps it fun. Once you unlock the Torment difficulty slider, you can definitely make the game difficult (freaking ice orb spawning elites…).
I'm glad I decided to give it another look with the recent changes. Also glad to hear I'm not the only one doing so.
Now I'm fighting the urge to dive head first into that other Blizzard game. The PvP changes they're talking about seem pretty appealing to me.
- 5. Talarian - March 5, 2014
I was going to chime in the same as Scott and Syncaine. The cash shop in PoE is nothing but cosmetic stuff and more stash tabs, at least it was that way a couple months ago… Can't seem at access their website to double check….
- 7. heavyb - March 5, 2014
I recommend u give Poe one more go. Very rewarding when you get spell combos that work. And desync is not an issue anymore. You can't pay to win in Poe at all. So ur friend was mistaken.
- 8. Whorhay - March 6, 2014
My favorite change for D3 2.0 has been the itemization changes, and not just the relevance of the loot to your character. They actually added new item properties and changed around what can roll on which slots and what combinations or properties can appear on any given item. All this means that you can actually happen upon a piece of loot that motivates you to change your entire play style and set of gear to try out a new build. The only downside to me is making all the legendary stuff account bound, half the fun of Diablo for me has always been trading and this effectively kills most of that.
- 9. A concerned Minmatar - March 6, 2014
Level 60 is about the point where you start dying repeatedly unless you know what you're doing. The difficulty noticeably jacks up a few notches. There is nothing in the item shop that will help you with this, so I have a feeling your friend was looking for a graceful way to exit due to having grown soft on the new generation of games that give you achievements just for signing in.
- 11. Jean-Mira - March 6, 2014
Thanks for the review. Hadn't planed to revisit Diablo III, and you just made me.
- 12. Adam D. - March 6, 2014
It could be both ;)
But yes, once you get into Merciless, it definitely ramps up the difficulty, and depending on what your build is, it can be a very unwelcome shift.
Right now, Everyone's still re-learning the skill tree after the changes made in the patch, which made just a few builds much harder to play.
I've always appreciated the fact that it's quite possible to bork a build to the point where it may be easier to roll a new char. PoE is very much a game that's a constant learning experience, and builds are just part of that experience.
I find it more fun that way, but it's not for everyone.
- 13. A concerned Minmatar - March 7, 2014
I was trying to word this diplomatically, but I guess I will attempt again. We agree that he wasn't having fun. The thing is, unless you play a hardcore build that does nothing but stack health nodes or something – and why would you do that in standard – you. Will. Die. Repeatedly. It has nothing to do with sucking, it's just how PoE is. When I said he has grown soft, I meant he is not used to this anymore, and hence would not find the challenge fun. That seems to be an obvious reason he would quit at that particular stage, since he clearly enjoyed the game to beat the first two difficulties.
- 14. Matt - March 7, 2014
If POE had an offline mode I'd play it. I find D3 online pretty seamless, but my experience with PoE has been less positive. That and it is impossible to find a character name that isn't taken. I would think devising a system that allowed for multiple identical character names would be SOP in this day and age.
I've been playing a lot of D3 2.0 though. One thing they always nailed on it was the fun factor. Not even D2 came close. Now that the loot isn't complete garbage (it might be a bit too generous now) and some of the more annoying monster mechanics have been toned down, it feels like the game it should have been from the start. Of course, Diablo still chatters at me incessantly like a captain planet eco-villain, but we can't have everything.
- 15. Adam D. - March 7, 2014
You're Joking, right? Please tell me you're joking.
I joined the game 4 months after launch, with a Barbarian character I was able to name ChuckF***ingNorris. If there are any naming filters over at GGG, I don't know about them.
You may be unused to the filters, but PoE does allow for a lot of names.
I was able to name my Templay Sexy_McNoPants in the latest Ambush league. A bit of Creativity and you can get pretty much any name you want!
- 16. Matt - March 7, 2014
Are you joking? I said it is impossible to find character names that aren't taken by someone else, not banned by some policy. Obviously it isn't impossible, since I did manage to name a few characters, but when I tried to give my barbarian an actual barbarian name (I think I tried Genseric first) it soon became clear I was not the only person to have that idea. I forget what I eventually settled on, but the fact remains that in this day and age there is no need to force unique names on everyone. Heck, in Diablo 3 you can name all of your own characters the same thing, much less the same thing as someone else's.
Granted, if I wanted to give my characters stupid or joke names it would be easier, but then I could just give them random gibberish names too if my only goal was to get past the naming screen.

Using the Walk Away Technique to Focus Her Attention on You
It doesn't have to be a special thing, or well-timed, or anything. Wait for a moment when you're hanging around with your love interest and she's not paying attention to what you're doing. If you're at her house and the phone rings or something.
Just get up and leave, don't say a word, and be sure she doesn't see you leave.
You've forced her to do a few things. First of all, she's going to look around for you if it is at all possible you could be hiding somewhere. Second, she's going to have to try and rationalize why you would leave without saying goodbye or saying anything.
For almost all women this will nag at her for quite a while, which also means she's thinking about you.
The second part of the "walk away" is to not try to come up with an excuse.
Next time you see her she will most likely bring it up, if not then she's not that interested in you anyway. Simply shrug and apologize without very much conviction.
All of this is building up your sense of mystery and makes you look like you must have something more exciting than her going on. Women want to be noticed, and when you just walk away it's like telling her that she's really not that important to you yet.
She will want to remedy that, usually by trying to get you to pay more attention to her, which is good of course.

The efforts of the hundreds of thousands of Facebook users who petitioned to have Golden Girls actress Betty White host an episode of Saturday Night Live have finally paid off. White, who attended (and was reportedly a major hit at) Elton John's annual Oscar party, confirmed with People that she will, in fact, be appearing on the show!
White, 88, has seen a major resurgence in popularity over the past year, thanks to her scene-stealing role in Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds' 2009 rom-com The Proposal, not to mention a riotous Super Bowl commercial for Snickers. The Golden Girls star says she's dumbfounded by the support for her upcoming gig. White told People at Sunday night's event, "I don't know why or how, but it's been wonderful."
At last count, the Facebook group which started it all -- aptly named "Betty White to Host SNL (Please?)!" -- has more than 485,000 fans. NBC has not yet made an announcement about what an appearance by the actress and animal activist (recipient of a lifetime achievement award at this year's SAG Awards) will entail. We hope she hosts! And we bet if she does, it'll be a ratings winner for the late-night series.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Posted March 2, 2009
Dear Parents: Thank you for taking a few minutes of your time to learn more about &/or share some of your experiences at Challenge Charter School. CCS was founded in 1996 by Superintendent, Greg Miller & Executive Director, Pam Miller, my parents. The Millers are still active in the leadership of CCS; and I am honored that they have chosen and support me in my new role as Principal. I am proud to have been working with CCS s outstanding team of educators since 1999. The team at CCS is passionate about putting kids first, offering an optimal educational environment, grounded in the fundamental skills of a hands-on, science-oriented, academic core curriculum. As Arizona s First Official Core Knowledge School our curriculum is integrated and sequential providing a challenging and differentiated learning environment also rich in history, character education, and technology. Recently, a few parents have commented on our testing culture. In response, I confirm that our students, of all backgrounds, consistently score 25 to 40% higher than the state average of both: all schools (~1700); and all charter schools (~485). This accomplishment is something our teachers, school community, parents, and especially students are proud of! So, yes, we do talk about it on campus; we empower and encourage our students to celebrate their achievements. Challenge is proud to offer many unique programs and services. Some of the opportunities at Challenge include: Extended-day Kindergarten, before & after school care, extracurricular classes during the school day (such as art, foreign language, PE, technology), Breakfast/lunch program, caring and highly qualified staff, parent/family nights, and a uniform policy. I encourage all interested parents to join us for one of our several Founders Tour & Informational Sessions this spring. At these tours, we discuss school policies & programs in detail and no question goes unanswered. Lots of information including tour dates is available on our webpage at www.challengecharterschool.net. Call our office today at 602-938-5411to sign up! Principal Wendy Miller
Challenge Charter School is by far the best elementary school in Arizona! The teachers are outstanding and Mr. & Mrs. Miller (co-founders) are amazing with the students and running the school. My child is learning things I didn't know until high school. I recommend this school to any parent who is interested in providing their child with the best education Arizona can offer. You won't regret it.
Good school great principal and staff!
Challenge Charter is fantastic. My daughter is learning a ton in kindergarten. I am looking forward to sending here there to 1st grade and sending my other children to Challendge when they are of age. The only thing I wish they had more of was Sports Activites, ect. They have after school dance, gymnastics, chess and drama.
My daughter has attended this school for the past 5 years and we have never had a problem. This year, unfortunately, our experience has been the complete opposite. The 4th grade teaching staff is not of the highest caliber and the kids are paying the price. They have tremendous problems with bullies and neither the teachers nor Mr. Miller seem to want to take it seriously. I would recommend the Kindergarten thru 3rd grade program but am not so sure about 4th grade and above.
I am a parent who was a teacher at Challenge Charter School for a quarter of this school year. I suggest that parents ask more questions about how technology is used in the classrooms of this school. I was not able to use computers with my students; there was no access to the internet in the classrooms or working computers in the pod. Another area of concern is the constant and high rate of staff turn-over. I am an experienced teacher and mother of three, and I would not recommend this school.
What a great school. My son has been attending for the last 2 years, starting with Kindergarten last year and 1st grade this year. I am very pleased with how well he has excelled in all areas of study. The staff and teachers are great. The communication between the teachers and I are very informative and also give you peace of mind. The population is smaller than a public school which I believe is a factor in their success. Nobody is forgotten about. I have had nothing but good experiences with this school and will continue to enroll my son through 6th grade!
The staff/teacher turnover has been dificult on our children. Just this week they changed the before/after care leader that is well liked by everyone. The CEO (not Principal) has made several good business decisions that were poor education decisions. We have been there for over two years and this will be our last.
I particularly like the low tolerance level for poor behavior at this school. The principal takes proactive measures that make the children want to behave. For instance; they receive an award if they're caught being good. I have also witnessed his hand's on approach when a child casually said to another child 'I'm going to kill you'. The child was obviously just expressing himself inappropriatly, but I was happy to see that the threat (as innocent as it was) wasn't ignored. I expressed concerns with Mr. Miller and he was nothing short of professional. Mr. and Mrs. Miller are both professionals and are doing a terrific job. They're dedication to their students is outstanding!
After 3 frustrating years in a public school, I transferred my son to CCS. I can't say how much it has been a pleasure! My son has never been a better student, he loves school! His teachers are incredible, the curriculum is the best I've seen, and my only wish is that CCS would evolve into a set of schools encompassing grades K-12. Making the decision to choose Challenge Charter School was one of the best I've ever made.
The school needs to be understanding more when a parent has a concern.
My child is getting the education at this school that she deserves. She went to a DOD school and a public school before arriving at Challenge Charter and she didn't want to learn and hated school. Now she is doing great and enjoys learning now. I would recommend this school to anyone. Now my son also goes to Challenge Charter and loves it also.
extracurricular are needed to balance the education the children receive at the school. I am so please with the knowledge my children have obtain.
I am the aunt of 2 former students at Challenge. They began attending Challenge after a couple of difficult life situations. This school, and the teachers, helped get them back on track and happy. They loved their teachers, their fellow students, and Mr and Mrs Miller. The teachers were awesome and worked with each student at their level. If someone was in the lower level, the goal of the teachers was to get them up with everyone else and they usually succeeded. I would recommend Challenge to any parent.
My children have been going to Challenge Charter for the last 3 years and they are so advanced in all subjects that it worries me that when I have to change my oldest next year to Junior High that he won't be challenged academically. I recommend this school to everyone that is looking for a wonderful primary education school. Infact my Kindergartener has benefited so much from the full day program that they offer, she is not a napper so it was difficult for her at daycare and now she is challenged all day long and she enjoys it very much. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Miller for the wonderful educational program you have incorporated and offer to many young children.
This is easy I give it a 5 out of 1 to 5. This is the fifth year that my grandchildren have attended Challenge Charter school. At first My youngest daughter started her two daughters there, I have three other grandchildren living with me. My daughter was ill and I need to be there to help her so I put the two oldest kids in Challenge also. It was the best thing I could have done. My family had 4 Girls inrolled, then two years ago My son and his family moved here and placed there two boys in school. The boys were having a hard time in school prior to coming here. They have excelled since then and have earned a number of awards. THis school year my sons 5 year old daughter started Kindergarden. To date our family has 6 out of my 10 grandchildren attending Challenge Charter school. One granddaghter just got to old for Challenge Charter school and is in high school now. Plans at this time are that the last 3 will attend Kindergarden there next fall. There goals are children centered. The parent involvment is wonderful. Parent sugstions are openly and wonderfully welcomed. I just cant say enough about this school. They started in a church and now they are in a very modern school. I am very excited about Challenge charter school and recomend it highly. My grandchildren love this school and so do I. I have recomended this school to several friends and they love it also. The safety at school is great. You cant get onto the grounds without going through the office during school hours. My granddaughters no longer have to fear peer presure on the play grounds as recess is well supervised. The schools monthly family activities are always well planned and usually well attended and very versitile. They treat the children with respect and in return get respect. The children are also taught respect and patriotism for our country. Try it you will love it. We do!
I wish to add to my privious comments that I really like the Principal. When my daughter died of cancer He nd Mrs Miller were more than supportive and sensitive. I was very touched when they attended her funeral. He works very hard to make this school a cut above the rest. I am very pleased that all of my grandchildren to this point have had the opertunity to attend Challenge. One of the many things I love is that they have a strict uniform code. The children act different when they are in uniforms. It is also one way of teaching them to follow rules. This is an A + school.
This is our first year at Challenge and so far we are pleased with the variety of subjects the kids are learning. I would like to see more review material brought home so I can better help my kids understand the work at home if needed since they dont bring home text books.
It's all about the children! This is our second year attending Challenge Charter, and we're so happy with it! Our 3rd and 4th grade daughters are so eager to tell us about their day and have taught me things I never knew! We especially like the variety of topics that are covered due to the Core Knowledge cuurriculum that is followed. The teachers work as a team and everyone is always on the same page. Communication from the classroom is great. Weekly newsletters are sent home so that we always know what is being taught. Mr. & Mrs Miller are very involved in the school and lead the way in keeping the children motivated and excited to learn.
We checked out many schools before a friend recemended challenge charter - this is our second year and our 2nd grade daugher loves to go to school. Many thanks to Mr Miller the principal.

One reason that toddlers get a lot of colds is that their immune systems are still immature, making them more vulnerable to illness. After all, more than 200 different viruses cause the common cold and your child can develop immunity to only one of them at a time. Think of all the colds you've had in your lifetime. Your child would have to get all of those – and more – to be immune to all cold viruses.
As your toddler grows, she's likely to be exploring a lot and touching (and licking!) everything, so it's easy for her to pick up a cold virus on her hands. Then all she has to do is put her fingers in her mouth or nose or rub her eyes, and the virus will get a chance to set up shop.
Your toddler may get sick more often during the fall and winter months because cold air and indoor heating dry out her nasal membranes, making it easier for a cold virus to get a foothold there. She also spends more time during cold weather cooped up indoors, where viruses can spread more easily from one person to another.
Most children average between six and ten colds per year. In families with children in daycare or school, the number of colds can reach 12 per year! (The average adult gets two to four colds annually.)
It can be tricky to tell. If your toddler has a cold, he might have a runny nose with clear mucus that may thicken and turn gray or yellow or green over the next week or so. He might have a cough and congestion or a low-grade fever. (Chances are the congestion and cough will show up before the fever.)
On the other hand, if your child is running a higher fever or also has diarrhea or vomiting, it's more likely to be some other viral illness. If your toddler is running a fever, watch him when his fever comes down. If he plays and eats normally (or almost normally – he might eat a bit less and drag a little), then it's probably a cold. If he acts ill even when his temperature drops, though, he may have something more serious than a cold.
Itchy, watery eyes and nose are hallmarks of an allergy, as are repeated sneezing attacks and itchy skin that lasts for weeks or months. Also, the mucus coming out of your child's nose will continue to run clear, rather than thickening and turning yellow or green as it tends to in children with colds. Allergies won't cause your child to run a fever, and they tend to show up in the spring, summer, and early fall.
No medicine will make a virus go away faster, but you can help your toddler feel better and prevent the infection from getting worse by making sure she gets plenty of rest and liquids. Since most children don't master nose blowing until about age 4, here are a few ways to help ease her congestion:
Elevate your child's head. Raise the head of your child's mattress by a few inches. Put a crib wedge or a towel under the end of the mattress. Never use pillows to prop up your toddler as they create a risk of suffocation. And don't put anything under the legs of the crib, which could make it unstable.
For more safe ways to soothe your child's symptoms, see our article on home remedies that really help.
Most experts say no. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises doctors to tell their patients that OTC cough and cold medicines aren't effective in children younger than 6 and can sometimes have dangerous side effects. You may want to ask your child's doctor what she suggests.
Keep in mind that cough and cold medications won't shorten the course of your child's cold or prevent further complications such as ear infections or sinus infections.
If your toddler is feverish and uncomfortable, you may want to give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen, making sure to give him the correct dose for his age and weight.
Never give your child aspirin as it makes him more susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.
Adding a few drops of menthol, eucalyptus, or pine oil to a vaporizer or bath may help your toddler feel less congested, says Kathi Kemper, professor of pediatrics, public health sciences, and family medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and author of The Holistic Pediatrician. (You can get these oils at most natural food stores.) A spoonful of honey or a weak, lukewarm solution of chamomile tea can also be soothing.
For more great ideas, see our complete article on safe home remedies for children.
A word of warning: Never use the Chinese herb ma huang, also known as ephedra or ephedrine, an herbal decongestant. Its potency can vary widely, and the Food and Drug Administration has linked it to bad reactions in adults, including high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, and stroke.
Call the doctor if your toddler's fever reaches 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Also call if you notice any of the following:
You can't prevent every cold, but there are things you can do to minimize your toddler's exposure and boost her defenses. Make sure you keep her well hydrated by offering her water throughout the day. Offer her a selection of healthy foods and make sure she gets enough rest and exercise every day.
To the extent you can, keep your toddler away from sick children and adults. Keep in mind that children in daycare get more colds than those kept at home simply because they're exposed to more kids and, hence, more germs. Make sure your childcare provider is conscientious about washing her hands. And make sure you wash up, too – especially after changing diapers and before preparing food.
Secondhand smoke can put your toddler at risk for upper respiratory problems, so stay clear of cigarette smokers and keep your child away from areas where someone has been smoking. Children who live with cigarette smokers have more colds, and their colds last longer than those of children who aren't exposed to smoke.
