Fearless. 10:07 PM. Fearless, Wahlberg and Ramos are grilling Manzani, asking him over and over again whether there's anything that might help them locate the kidnapped cop. Manzani describes the woman who flagged them down. No scars, no tattoos, didn't see a getaway car. Manzani asks if they can grid the neighborhood. Fearless says they don't have time. He asks why they didn't wait for backup. Manzani says it was an emergency situation. Ramos asks why Manzani let his partner, the boot, take point (meaning the rookie got into the more dangerous position). Manzani says he didn't tell him to; he just did. Ramos can't believe Manzani let this "mystery woman" get out of his sight. She didn't, actually. She was right there, macing the kid. "Yeah," Manzani says. "For a second. What is this? My partner was kidnapped. What are you asking me for? What are you asking me?" Wahlberg asks if they checked all the doors in the house. Manzani confesses that they didn't, but they should have. Fearless asks if the gang flashed any signs or used slang when they ambushed them. Manzani says he couldn't really identify them, since he took half a can of pepper spray to the face. Ramos reminds him that his partner's life is on the line, and asks him to think: "Just think." Wahlberg leans in and asks for anything. Fearless wants to know if there's something he forgot. Manzani says he told them everything he knows. "If this kid dies, it's on your head, okay?" Ramos tells Manzani. He reminds Manzani that the kid is only a year out of the academy, so he's Manzani's responsibility. Manzani yells that he couldn't see anything. Well, they've badgered him enough that we know he certainly set this entire thing up, huh? It's like they already know that, too. Why don't they bring it up, then? "Sammy." Finally, we get the kid's name. Manzani says they ran when they heard sirens and he must have blacked out right then because he can't remember anything after that. "Why didn't they take you, too?" Fearless asks. "I wish they had," Manzani says. And then, since the writing sucks ass around here, he says again: "I wish they had."
Wahlberg, Ramos, and Fearless agree that there's something "not right" about this situation. Aren't these the best cops you've ever seen? And why are they trying to make us like this Ramos guy? Is he a new addition to the cast? The three cops conclude that this had to be some kind of set-up. Haven't we known that for fifteen minutes? "Maybe it wasn't random," Wahlberg says. Fearless wonders if the cop was the easiest target, or the intended target all along. Didn't they already figure this all out in the last scene? Or before, when Chronic said this was going to happen? I really don't understand their confusion. The Chief says they got a 911 call just now. He plays it. It's the cop, Samuel Norville, who says he's an LAPD police officer and he's being held hostage. You can tell he's reading as he says that he has brought this upon himself: "I am a willing slave to an unjust justice system. I deserve to die. I'll miss you all and I'm sorry." Then the 911 lady cuts in calmly, "Officer, do you have a location?" Good Jesus. Talk about 911 is a joke. The rest of the room doesn't seem to be that spooked, either. I guess this happens all the time. No location? Well, there's nothing 911 can do for you, officer. Perhaps you should call back when you can respond to your own call. The dispatcher says it was a cell phone, so they didn't get a location. The chief asks now if they're sure it was Norville on the line. Hey, here's an idea everyone: take a nap. Then you can just kick back and relax, and by the time you wake up this will all be over. No more nasty kidnapping to worry about. No more dealing with a pesky criminal. Everyone will be dead and we can just move on. Kick back a couple of rounds with McNorris. Maybe Wahlberg can tell everyone a few stories about his kooky wife. The Chief gets the brilliant idea of telling three cops to listen to the 911 tape over and over again, listening for some sort of hint, like a noise in the background that would lead them to a location. On a cell phone. Where people are usually...mobile. He says that perhaps Norville was accenting some syllables in code. Yeah. "I deserve to die," is code for "I'm in the kitchen of Barney's Beanery near the keg of Shiner." Maybe then he can get the rest of the police force to go through the phone book and call every number asking, "Hi. We're LAPD. Have you kidnapped Samuel Norville? No? Sorry to bother you."

Good Food in Northridge?
Help!! I just moved to Northridge for school and I can't find anything to eat! I would appreciate ANY food recommendations, but near CSUN would be particularly helpful (I don't have a car and live near campus).
Thank you!
Galleria Market-- Reseda and Devonshire-- they have Korean food for sale in the store and in the restaurant area just in front of the store.
There's a falafel place right across the street from CSUN.
Falafel Palace - (818) 993-0734 - 9255 Reseda Blvd
Vallarta grocery store-- Reseda and Parthenia-- they have Mexican food and drinks to go, plus you can shop, but it will be a bit of a walk.
Vallarta Supermarket - (818) 576-1280 - 8453 Reseda Blvd
There's another wrap place-- they make their own bread. Very good stuff. It's in the marketplace where Northridge Pharmacy used to be. You can walk there from CSUN.
Pita Pocket - (818) 709-4444 - 9127 Reseda Blvd
I know a number of people who like Mandarin Deli. I went once, and didn't like what I ordered, but it's close to CSUN (walking distance).
Mandarin Deli Restaurant - (818) 993-0122 - 9305 Reseda Blvd
Hope you like some or all of these. :)
California Chicken Cafe is pretty good, can't miss food. It's in the same shopping center as the E&E Cafe.
A&W Seafood (Chinese food) is on Reseda and Prairie (?). Decent dim sum.
You got your usual chains to, Chilis, McDs, etc.
Get a car! But the (Reseda Blvd.) bus will bring you to:
Vallarta Market is further S of Parthenia but, on Reseda, not! walking distance.
The Indian restaurant in the same corner as Galleria Market has a good buffet - Village Tandoor. Also next to Village is, Honey Baked Ham for sammys, then across the street behind Carrows) there's Catch 21 for fish, chicken and such, Outdoor Grill, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and a couple of other shops that might interest you (Reseda/Devonshire). On the other side where BofA is there's a nifty little sushi place - great for dinner and VERY popular w students. If you take the bus down Nordhoff West, there's Tampa where you'll find the Northridge Mall, to the north, small strip on the Left, East -where you'll find, Rosie's BBQ -YUM! a thai shop, greek rest. and a Japanses/sushi bar. A little further down -1 extra block (Shirley and Nordhoff) there's L & A Asian buffet, Punjab Indian (great buffet) and an Italian rest. :)KQ Good Luck and Have Fun!
re: Erin_Lane
I believe it is in Van Nuys, Mercado Buenos Aires? 7542 Sepulveda Blvd. (818) 786-0522
re: WildSwede
That's it! It's not in walking distance but the chicken sandwich is to die for! It's on a crusty bread. I'm not sure if it comes with chimichurri but i always slather mine with the complimentary dish for the table.
Near Reseda/Nordhoff: Pita pocket in the Von's shopping center. Awesome shwarma (and I think I spelled that wrong). Near Reseda/Prairie: Falafel Palace, Emles (across Reseda) is well reviewed on the chowhound boards as is Mandarin Deli (same side of Reseda as Falafel Palace, across Prairie) At Reseda/Plummer is Mongolian BBQ; a great bargain, especially at lunch. Across Reseda from Mongolian BBQ is a sub shop whose name I cannot remember but is very good.
Further north (reseda/devonshire) is Galleria Market with a ton of korean options. There is a sushi place across Reseda (next to the thrift store) with 1/2 price sushi for lunch. Decent sushi but be warned: they're overly generous with the eel sauce.
Best pizza is Ravanellis. They're at Reseda/Chase and they deliver. Family owned joint that's been there at least 25 years. Across from there is Vallarta Market, they've a deli inside with standard taqueria choices. Good food and cheap groceries, too. On the other corner (same side of the street) is LA Lasagne - they've a florentine pizza that's pretty good and they sell it by the slice.
If you can get a car or hop on the Dash:
Pine Tree Korean BBQ just north of Roscoe on Reseda. .A little further down Reseda near Sherman Way: two pho houses (pho so 1 and pho 999), Mr. Baguette, Top Thai. Further South (Reseda and Baird) is Nippon Ramen (6900 Reseda Blvd) and a french bakery whose name I cannot recall at the moment - it's right next door to the ramen house. At Reseda and Vanowen is El Taco Llama and while I don't like this one as much as the one at Corbin and Parthenia, they are still quite good. In the same center is It's All Good kabob house - great food.
A little south of Vanowen (still on Reseda) is Melody's Kitchen and on Vanowen (1/2 block east of Reseda) is Las Fuentes - both owned by the same people, both are quite good. Further south on Victory (just east of Reseda) is The Firehouse for greek food.
There are numerous chains in the immediate CSUN area. If you have to choose, I would say Chipotle is the best choice around there - one burrito could be a day's meal which is nice for college students who are typically on a rather tight budget.
re: jencounter
Agree on the Ravanelli's - best pizza in the valley. Alessio's a definite for finer-dining. Also, there is a QT hot dogs on Reseda/Parthenia where you can get decent Chicago dogs. There is also a ltttle Italian place on Reseda and, what is it, Chase? (light before you get to Nordhoff). God, I have not lived in the valley since 1990! I love all the memories! If you need a great hairdresser (I have gone to Kimiko since 1987) she is in the A Cut Ahead in the small set of buildings just south of Nordhoff off Reseda (across the street from the Dickeys store). Also, Thai BBQ in the same center as the QTs. Good BBQ Ribs and their Pad Thai is not bad, either. CUPIDS!!! The BEST! On Lindley just south of Nordhoff.
re: jencounter
Great list! Pine Tree is my favorite for Korean. :) Also, the pho options on Reseda are decent and local.
The name of that sub shop across from Mongolian BBQ, in the parking lot for Baskin Robbins, is My Hero.
My Hero Submarine Sandwich - (818) 349-4255 - 9514 Reseda Blvd Ste 15 (at Plummer)
Someone on Chowhound recommended Pita Pockets to me a few years ago. I went, and liked it.
re: katkoupai
Thank you for the name, it was driving me crazy.
re: jencounter
Just had breakfast at Emle's on Sunday. They offer a 10% discount to CSUN students. Good omelettes, although the pancakes I tasted were thick and heavy.
re: Erin_Lane
I may be biased, but I think this area (reseda in particular) is a mecca for those looking for non-chain, affordable, ethnic food.
One other thai suggestion although it's a bit of a hike from CSUN (but probably some of the best thai food outside of NoHo): Rincome. They're at Devonshire and Balboa and they do deliver - I'm just not sure of their delivery area anymore. When we moved here from our old house in Northridge - literally a mile away - to our house here in Reseda, they refused to deliver to us any longer. Cryin' shame.

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) - Greeley firefighters say a mom is uninjured after her belly button ring got entangled with a drain cover in a shallow splash pool.
The woman got stuck Wednesday while floating on her stomach with her child in a shallow pool at the Greeley Family Funplex. Firefighters first tried to turn the ring to free her but then started to drain the pool while working to manipulate the ring.
Eventually she was freed. Firefighters said Thursday she wasn't hurt.

JCpenney - Can't use a gift card to pay for a credit card?!!

I have shopped with JCPenney for over 15 years. Before all the recent policy changes, I used to be able to use JCP gift cards to pay my credit card bill. I prefer getting merchandise with the gift cards, however, if I happened to spend too much over Christmas, it was nice to use the gift card instead to help save a little money. Being that everyone I am related to knows how much I shop at JCP, I received several JCP gift cards for Christmas. Today, I walked in to the store to use my gift card to pay the bill and I was told I could no longer do that. I called the hotline to ask someone if that was really true and after 35 minutes on the phone trying to get to a higher level person, it was confirmed. A gift card is the same thing as cash. It is not like paying a credit card bill with another credit card. I can understand why they don't allow payments with other credit cards because it is paying with money that truly isn't yours, and they have to pay extra fees to process all of that. A JCP gift card has no fees, and is the equivalent of me handing a clerk cash, and them handing back a plastic card that says "this is how much money you have given me". What JCP, and the "guru" who has dumped them into the ground faster than any company in the history of commerce, are doing might or might not be illegal (based on the fact I don't have a law degree). It is money entrapment. Money entrapment is when a company forces people to spend more money by locking them into something as a way to double sales. I think there was a reason apple let this guy go, they knew what his business plans were like.
If I get enough interest on this complaint from others, I will lead a class action suit against their credit card policies on this, as well as their late fee charges. The credit card companies all were forced to change by the government, why should JCP get away with it?
I have only had one other issue with the "new" system. I think the late fee itself is too high and too severe. Last year I had a bill get delivered to my address a little later than usual. I had one week to pay it. I went into a JCP store the day after it was due. I was still charged $35. I manage a business where we have due dates on bills and we give up to 10 days after the due date to pay the bill without a fee. And if it is still late, then it is a $10 fee. We are nowhere near the size of JCP, however, we still have the happiest customers you could imagine for over 35 years. If you treat people decently, they will come back!
Please respond if you are interested in a class action suit.bed4f4d

I used to work at JCP for 4 years before you could pay with your gift card until they changed that policy.
Andrews1111 Feb 05, 2013 Tampa, Florida
To "anon"...I am not arguing that their policy does exist. I am arguing the fact that that could violate antitrust laws. And you are not paying credit with credit. Credit is "money that is given to you that you do not have". A gift card is a debit card, meaning it is your money that you are paying with, not theirs. Why is this fact so hard for people to understand?
Say it with me folks...."Business classes are goooood!"
And to "abc1234", you have a point. Either way, they are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.
If you guys like being treated the way JCP treats customers, then I invite you to my store. I will let you buy a gift certificate and then I will tell you that all you can use it for is a trashcan. Hope you need a trashcan!
ella › Andrews1111 Feb 07, 2013
anon may have been utilizing the word "credit," to imply STORE credit, would have been nice if that was clarified. store credit is only valid on merchandise. instead of insulting people, why don't you take the time to make sure you understand fully what is being said?0 0 Reply
adklj Feb 04, 2013
uhm...i work for the company. customers have never been allowed to use gift cards to pay a credit card bill...lord have mercy, what is this world coming to? if what you're saying is true, the people allowing you to do so should have been fired. either way, common sense says ***.0 0 Reply
anonymous › adklj Feb 04, 2013 Tampa, Florida
Common sense....please describe to me how this so called "common sense" works? Does common sense entrap someone's money? If someone wants to pay someone else's JCP card as a gift, the only way they could do that safely is to mail a gift card to that person. A gift card is CASH! Nothing more, nothing less. The bearer of the gift card should be able to use it however they want to, as long as it is being used with that company. Not allowing to do so is money entrapment.
And I have been allowed to do so in the past. If those workers have violated a rule, then kudos to them for doing what is right. Corporations have gotten way too big and have sunk the country, why should they get to live like kings and control everyones' money?
I have a feeling this is just a troll comment, designed to inspire a rebuttal. If you were someone high up in JCP, I doubt you would start your comment with "uhm". However, if you do actually work for JCP, try being part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
anon › anonymous Aug 02, 2013 Orlando, Florida
A gift card is NOT NOT NOT NOT CASH otherwise places would allow you to return them and get your cash back in the event that you can't use it lol. You can buy gift cards with cash, credit, and debit. So yes sometimes it possibly could have been paid for with cash, but at the same time it could have been paid for with a credit card which is not anyone's money (it's the banks that lend you credit money). Once it's on the gift card, it's a GIFT CARD! (CARD) (CARD) (CARD) NOT CASH CASH CASH......just like some things ridiculous customers say that coupons are Cash, they are NOTTTTTTT!!!! ok?!0 0 Reply

The sundae is a sweet ice cream dessert. It typically consists of one or more scoops of ice cream topped with sauce or syrup, and in some cases other toppings including sprinkles, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, or other fruits (e.g., bananas and pineapple in a banana split.). According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the origin of the term sundae is obscure; however, it is generally accepted that the spelling "sundae" derives from the English word Sunday, or from the German Sonntag, which means Sunday.[1] This may come from the belief that a special treat such as sundae is usually eaten on weekends. Another possible origin is the German word Sünde (/ˈzʏndə/), meaning sin, alluding to the calorie rich nature of a sundae.[citation needed]
Among the many stories about the invention of the sundae, a frequent theme is that the ice cream sundae was a variation of the popular ice cream soda. According to documentation published by the Evanston Public Library (Illinois), the drinking of soda was outlawed on Sundays in Illinois.[2]
Other origin stories for the sundae focus on the novelty or inventiveness of the treat or the name of the originator, and make no mention of legal pressures.
Ice cream sundae soon became the weekend semi-official soda fountain confection in the beginning of 1900s and quickly gained popularity. The Ice Cream Trade Journal for 1909 along with plain, or French sundae, listed such exotic varieties as Robin Hood sundae, Cocoa Caramel sundae, Black Hawk sundae, Angel Cake sundae, Cherry Dip sundae, Cinnamon Peak sundae, Opera sundae, Fleur D'Orange sundae, Knickerbocker sundae, Tally-Ho Sundae, Bismarck and George Washington sundaes, to name a few.[3]
Various American localities have claimed to be the birthplace of the ice cream sundae, including Two Rivers, Wisconsin; Plainfield, Illinois; Evanston, Illinois; New York City; New Orleans, Louisiana; Ithaca, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; and Buffalo, New York.
Two Rivers' claim is based on the story of George Hallauer asking Edward C. Berners, the owner of Berners' Soda Fountain, to drizzle chocolate syrup over ice cream in 1881. Berners eventually did and wound up selling the treat for a nickel, originally only on Sundays, but later every day. According to this story, the spelling changed when a glass salesman ordered canoe-shaped dishes. When Berners died in 1939, the Chicago Tribune headlined his obituary "Man Who Made First Ice Cream Sundae Is Dead".[4][5] Two Ithaca High School students, however, claim that Berners would have only been 16 or 17 in 1881, so it is therefore "improbable" that he would have owned an ice cream shop in that year. They also state that the obituary dates Berners' first sundae to 1899 rather than 1881.[6]
Residents of Two Rivers have contested the claims of other cities to the right to claim the title "birthplace of the ice cream sundae". When Ithaca, New York, mayor Carolyn K. Peterson proclaimed a day to celebrate her city as the birthplace of the sundae, she received postcards from Two Rivers' citizens reiterating that town's claim.[7]
Evanston was one of the first locations to pass a blue law against selling ice cream sodas in 1890. "Some ingenious confectioners and drug store operators [in Evanston]... obeying the law, served ice cream with the syrup of your choice without the soda [on Sundays]. Thereby complying with the law… This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda."[2] As sales of the dessert continued on Mondays, local Methodist leaders then objected to naming the dish after the Sabbath, so the spelling of the name was changed to sundae.[8][9]
Supporting Ithaca's claim to be "the birthplace of the ice cream sundae", researchers at The History Center in Tompkins County, New York, provide an account of how the sundae came to be: On Sunday, April 3, 1892, in Ithaca, John M. Scott, a Unitarian Church minister, and Chester Platt, co-owner of Platt & Colt Pharmacy, created the first historically documented sundae.[6][10] Platt covered dishes of ice cream with cherry syrup and candied cherries on a whim. The men named the dish "Cherry Sunday" in honor of the day it was created. The oldest-known written evidence of a sundae is Platt & Colt's newspaper ad for a "Cherry Sunday" placed in the Ithaca Daily Journal on April 5, 1892. By May 1892, the Platt & Colt soda fountain also served "Strawberry Sundays" and later, "Chocolate Sundays".
Platt & Colt's "Sundays" grew so popular that by 1894, Chester Platt attempted to trademark the term ice cream "Sunday".[11]
Plainfield, Illinois has also claimed to be the home of the very first ice cream sundae. A local belief is that a Plainfield druggist named Mr. Sonntag created the dish "after the urgings of patrons to serve something different." He named it the "sonntag" after himself, and since Sonntag means Sunday in German, the name was translated to Sunday, and later was spelled sundae.[1] Charles Sonntag established himself as a pharmacist after graduating from pharmacy school in 1890. He worked for several years under the employ of two local druggists, Dr. David W. Jump and F. R. Tobias. Sonntag established his own pharmacy (as early as 1893 and no later than 1895) in a building constructed in the months following a December 1891 fire that devastated one side of the town's business district. His store advertised "Sonntag's Famous Soda" and was, likely, the first soda fountain in the Village of Plainfield.[citation needed]
The original sundae consists of vanilla ice cream topped with a flavored sauce or syrup, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry. Classic sundaes are typically named after the canned or bottled flavored syrup employed in the recipe: cherry sundae, chocolate sundae, strawberry sundae, raspberry sundae, etc. The classic sundae is traditionally served in a tulip-shaped, footed glass vase. Due to the long association between the shape of the glass and the dessert, this style of serving dish is generally now known as a sundae glass.
Sliced or chopped fruit that has been sugared and let to sit for an hour or more to form a sweet syrup may be substituted for the flavored sauce or syrup of the classic sundae. Fresh fruit sundaes include named variations such as the strawberry, peach, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and mixed fruit sundaes. Fresh fruit sundaes are generally served during the summer months, and they are sometimes advertised as specialty offerings in agricultural areas where particular fruits are grown.
Heated-sauce sundaes are those in which the flavored sauce or syrup is heated before being poured over the ice cream, creating appealing differences in temperature as well as texture.
The hot fudge sundae is a variation on the classic sundae and is often a creation of vanilla ice cream, sprinkles, hot chocolate sauce (hence the "hot fudge"), whipped cream, nuts, and a single bright-red maraschino cherry on top. A hot fudge sundae can be made with any flavor of ice cream.
The double fudge sundae is like a regular hot fudge sundae, except that it is twice as big and is served in a glass banana split dish or boat. It is made from the same ingredients as a regular hot fudge sundae, but also includes extra fudge, as well as whipped cream, optional nuts or sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry on top.
This is a variation of the hot fudge sundae in which heated caramel sauce replaces the heated chocolate sauce. The other ingredients remain unchanged.
The popular combination of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge and hot caramel sauces, and toasted pecans is known as a turtle sundae. The name derives from the turtle candy, which consists of pecans covered with caramel and then dipped in chocolate.
This is a variation of the hot fudge sundae in which butterscotch sauce replaces the heated chocolate sauce. The other ingredients remain unchanged.
Occasionally, other stiff-textured sweet sauces replace the hot chocolate sauce of the classic hot fudge sundae. These novelty sundaes include the peanut butter sundae, the Nutella sundae, the hot maple syrup sundae, and others.
This sundae features a scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and a scoop of chocolate ice cream with creamy white marshmallow topping.
This is a rich sundae made with brownies, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, peanuts, hot fudge, and whipped cream, often topped with maraschino cherry. If a blondie replaces the brownie, then caramel sauce is used as a topping instead of chocolate sauce.
This dessert consists of three sundaes in one, side by side between two halves of a banana, sliced lengthwise. The classic banana split consists of strawberry ice cream topped with chocolate syrup, chocolate ice cream topped with crushed pineapple, and vanilla ice cream topped with strawberry syrup. Each scoop is individually garnished with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
This is a sundae served in a tall glass filled with layers of ice cream, gelatine, and flavorings such as syrups, whipped cream, granola, fresh fruit, and/or liqueurs.
This ice cream sundae is served in a large tall glass, consisting of layers of ice cream, jelly, and cream, topped with syrup, nuts, whipped cream, and often a cherry; it is popular in the United Kingdom.
At a price of US$1,000, the most expensive ice cream sundae is the Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae, sold by Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York City.[12] The dessert consists of five scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla, covered in 23-carat edible gold leaf, rare Amedei Porcelana and Chuao chocolate, American Golden caviar, passion fruit, orange, Armagnac, candied fruits from Paris, and marzipan cherries, and decorated with real gold dragées. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18-carat-gold spoon.[13]

I have purchased 19 rugs from Overstock of varying sizes. This tribal pattern is one of my two favorites. In deciding whether or not to purchase this pattern, just remember that the colors are in lower contrast than what you might see on your computer screen due to the backlighting on your computer. The red and blue colors in the rug are still vivid enough and really worked for my color scheme. I have these rugs lying on a Brizilian cherrywood floor and they are beautiful.
I ordered the small rug to check the colors before ordering the 9'6'X13'6' a few days later. The colors are as I expected and go well with my decor. The rug is of excellent quality and workmanship for the price. It comes folded which takes a while for the folds to come out. It might be better if it was shipped rolled. The size I ordered is heavy and takes at least two people to handle. It sheds a lot but I expected that. I also ordered the 10' X 14' pad to go with it. I received two tracking numbers showing the merchandise was on it's way. However the rug arrived but not the pad. I had to contact Overstock.com only to find out that the pad had not left the warehouse. Except for this glitch I would give Overstock a 5 star rating. (They get a 3 on shipping.) I contacted Overstock through their chat room and received immediate response to my problem. Still, I was disappointed that I had to wait another week for the pad before putting down my new rug.
We have this style in various sizes. The rugs have proven to be both beautiful & durable. They do shed wool for a while, but don't worry, there is no sign of loss.
Have two, very good value. I have been pleased with several rugs of this manufacturer.
The photo I see for the product currently is not remotely close to the 3 rugs I ordered in this style. I ordered 3, in 2 different sizes. All 3 were consistent in color, but have much more of a cool undertone. The blues are a silvery grey-blue, the creamy part is a cool cream. The outside border is indeed a soft gold. My rugs are about 25-35% cooler in tone (far less saturated) than the image I see on the screen. There was some minimal shedding, but nothing too annoying. The thickness and aesthetic quality of the rugs is very pleasing. I would order again understanding that the rug colors are far more subtle and less gold than shown.
I was super excited about this rug. I though "this is it"! It's going to look great (as long as the colors are accurate). Well, the rug arrived about 5 minutes ago and the rug looks NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING like the photo's shown on the website. Very disappointing, Overstock. If you search Overstock for this rug you'll get a about 10 returns. The ones that look rather drab and blah, THAT'S what the rug actually looks like, not the vibrant gold/red/blues shown. It sort of looks.... dirty? I'll be inquiring on the cost to return the rug but if it's excessive, I'll have to keep it and just sell it at a yard sale. Overstock, you really need to take a look at the items your listing and make sure the colors are a FAIR representation. This rug was NOT! Not even close.
Nice plush rug. Love that it is wool. Feel great underfoot.

The Associated Press has learned that five days before Toyota announced a massive recall, a U.S. company executive wrote in an internal e-mail: "We need to come clean" about accelerator problems.
Irv Miller, Toyota's group vice president for environment and public affairs, wrote: "The time to hide on this one is over." He went on to say: "We are not protecting our customers by keeping this quiet."
The recently retired Miller wrote the internal e-mail as Toyota officials were on their way to Washington to discuss the problems with federal regulators.

Onkyo just announced its first Blu-ray player will come later this year.
It took them a bit, but Onkyo just announced that its first Blu-ray player will be coming soon.
Unfortunately, that's all they announced. There wasn't too much information on the product—like a name, a price, a photo… I could go on. Maybe they are building suspense.
The only thing we do know is that it's coming, and the company is hoping that consumers will couple the unit with an Onkyo high-def A/V receiver, which features Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio support.
Expect the Onkyo Blu-ray player to hit later this year. Stay tuned for more info on specs, pricing and an actual release date.
In February, Onkyo announced that it would stop producing its DV-HD805 HD DVD player. During its release, the DV-HD805 retailed for $899.

Hooters, shooters and looters: Eidos's Tomb Raider
It has been argued that Tomb Raider's star, Lara Croft, was the first feminist female of video games: a bastion of 1990s "girl power" and the "ladette" culture that was (supposedly) happening at the time, and thus a great role-model for young empowered women everywhere. Then again, take one glance at Lara posing on the cover for …
From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous, we present Rick Dangerous with tits in 3D.
Hated RD (I despise games that play unfairly) and hated Tomb Raider as well. However sex sells and so did Tomb Raider so I guess I'm in the minority.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
I'm with you, Mr Hill - Tomb Raider was crap. It being one of the first things I played on Playstation, it quickly became clear that platform games don't work in 3d (Spyro soon corroborated this; see also that awkward moment in Half Life where you need to jump onto packing crates over the obligatory bottomless pit). Add to that, wandering alone around enormous caverns, whilst technically impressive, is dull as ditch.
Most fun I got out of it was drowning Lara in her own pool.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
And worse, it took the 2D mechanic of a duff platform (Rick Dangerous) and put it into 3D. Fall into pit, spears out of nowhere, not so much a test of skill as a test of memory.
If Tomb Raider had featured a male protagonist it would have sold a quarter as many copies and would be remembered as just another Playstation game. However sadly it's cult status is assured by the fact it was the number 1 "self pleasuring" aid of the PS1 era.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
I take it you never played Mario 64 then?
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
Because while I accept that platformers are harder to make work in 3D, that Mario game was amazingly well-crafted and playable.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
@DaneB No, I had a Playstation, not an N64. Platform games peaked with Decap Attak on the MegaDrive, anyway.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
@ Lmont Cranston. Ha, Decap Attack, that's a blast from the past... I think you'll find platform games have been going strong ever since. I know there have been some crap 3D ones, but there are quite a few good 'uns too, of which TOmb Raider was at least half decent.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
platform games don't work in 3d (Spyro soon corroborated this...
Actually, while I never cared for Tomb Raider, I found the first two Spyro games tremendous fun. (Never played any of the others.) Tastes differ, of course, but clearly for many gamers, platform games can work just fine in 3D.
Re: From the people who bought you Rick Dangerous
"I take it you never played Mario 64 then?"
I did, and it's the reason why I gave up on Nintendo for a full decade, if not longer. Damn thing was horrible to play!
@ Mr C Hill
Yes, you are in the minority thankfully. If all you see in the Tomb Raider games is "sex" then I suggest you leave gaming to those that actually enjoy "gaming".
As to TR itself - have been huge fan since day 1. If I had a top 10 games list then "The Last Revelation" would be on it. Now that my kids are growing up it has been great fun to revisit the Crystal Dynamics reboots of the series with them - even if they are a little easy; and I do believe that games of this nature help with problem solving skills, dexterity and observation... also, if my daughter ever finds herself alone in a tomb with a sword wielding Nordic troll then she'll know exactly what to do.
As for me, I have a free download from AMD for the new "18 rated" TR game which I might do eventually, but I've moved onto the Uncharted series which are also fantastic, and I need to get round to finishing those (hint... I can't seem to kill the Yeti in "Amongst Thieves"???).
Re: @ Mr C Hill
Just keep on shooting it … can't remember what triggers the event that actually "kills" him though! Finished Uncharted 2 years ago and it seems everyone forgets how to beat that Yeti!
"Yet it's also worth remembering that all those cut-scenes and cinematic touches found throughout the disc were still fairly new entities at this point in videogame history."
Not too sure I agree with that, but I suppose it heavily depends on the platform you're looking at. Because in that era we had already seen the first release of Command & Conquer which basically consisted of missions which were followed by cut-scenes. Same applies to other titles of that genre like the classic Dune and later Dune II. Considering the timespan I'm tempted to say that cut-scenes had already become more mainstream at that time.
But yeah, cut-scenes or not, this one was a classic.
However, I also think Tomb Raider is unfortunately another very good example of trying to milk something dry to such extremes that it doesn't work out too well in the end. Let's not forget that although the franchise boomed at first it also more or less collapsed (looking at Angel of Darkness here). Even resulting in (as I understand it) the selling of the Core Design company, which were the original creators of Tomb Raider.
And although I have no doubt that there's still good money to be made from the Tomb Raider franchise I don't think it will ever get as big again as it once was.
As the article suggests, if you'd been playing PC games then maybe the cut-scenes weren't that new. But if like me you had a megadrive until the PS came down to about £200 a couple of years after launch, and Tomb Raider was released about the same time, then the upgrade from Sonic 2 pretty much blew your mind...
monkeyfish takes the marks for comprehension. :)
It would be quite miraculous if it ever got to be as big as it once was. As the article alludes to: a point in time, never to be repeated.
cut scenes
I would consider Dragon's Lair (1983) to be the first game with cut scenes. In fact the game was almost all cut scenes with a tiny bit of action mixed in.
Re: cut scenes
Yes, and it was cack!
Re: cut scenes
Not saying it was a good game just it had cut scenes a full decade before Tomb Raider came out.
I once read an article that Tomb Raider was the game that weaned boys off Sonic as Lara had boobies and furry blue hedgehogs just weren't that cool any more
I do recall there was a "naked patch" for the game too that had Lara running around exposing her badly rendered boobs and her dark "triangle of hope"
We used the game with the 3DFX glide patch to show the difference that the [original] Voodoo card made to gaming.
Lara's come a long way from our beloved 15" CRTs to the big screen, but just how many Lara (Angelina) fans know her deep roots stem from gaming?
Thanks for the trip down memory lane ElReg,
Re: Damn!
Should that not be
Thanks for the trip down mammary lane ElReg,
I remember playing TR 2 and enjoying it.
It had great puzzles and a freaky ending.
But not TR 3, now that was horrible - with random deaths and a mocking attitude towards the player. More like torture than game.
Re: I remember playing TR 2 and enjoying it.
The early TRs were the best, back when they had real gameplay and puzzles, now they've been substituted for glitzy graphics.
Re: I remember playing TR 2 and enjoying it.
I don't know - wasn't TR2 mockingly called Doom Raider at the time for the amount of shooting involved?
Later games Legend & Underworld manged to have good puzzles and game-play as well as having glitzy graphics. I'd agree the latest is a bit easy, but is very well done.
Re: I remember playing TR 2 and enjoying it.
The funny thing to 2013 eyes looking at those screenshots is that you can easily count the polygons, and there aren't very many of them.
It's worth picking up Legends and especially Underworld on the PC if you find them cheap on Steam. The graphics are great and the gameplay very slick by this late stage, compared to the original titles.
Palace Midas
Still remember the trouble I had jumping between the 4 burning pillars with one offset...
It is probably worth passing comment...
...that the in-game music, in the first game at least, added a real sense of atmosphere. The part that springs to mind being in Midas' Palace.
Re: It is probably worth passing comment...
Indeed, the professionally produced music added an extra dynamic not really present in games until the PS1. There was one part (I can't remember the name of the level) where you walk through into a large room that has a large pool and those disintegrating platforms around it. When you walk into the room, a version of the distinctive title music kicks in with the strings and the harp, which was playing as I made Lara dive into the pool and swim about in this huge 3D environment. That blew me away back in '96.
Back then (as an 11 year old), I thought games couldn't get much better. Looking back at TR's dated graphics now shows that they've come a long way, but everything now is incremental. The difference between console generations now is nowhere near as big as the leap between Megadrive/ SNES to PS1 was then.
TR is firmly engrained into my mind
I used to play TR while listerning to music. When ever i hear certain songs I get a flash back to the Cistern Level. Copper green channels of water, leaps of faith between them.
I've brought and completed every TR game, with the exception of the disaster that was Angel of Darkness (brought but unplayable).
Crystal Dynamics reboot have been perfect.
Re: TR is firmly engrained into my mind
I did the same thing! Poison by the Prodigy always reminds me of the exact same cistern level! Thanks for the nostalgia hit friend :D
not complicated = win!
games these days... Use left bumper to walk right bumper to grab while jumping or draw a weapon, use X to use something, use X to sprint, use A to bring up a menu of some kind, use B to jump, use left shoulder button to do something else and right shoulder to do the opposite. click the left movement stick to aim, as well as using one stick to move around the place and the other to "look around"
then you need to do all these in a combination when playing at some points.
It is not a game, it is WORK!
I am a PC gamer and I expect on a PC there are a number of functions, that's why I play them! but when I played on a console I found it was not as entertaining, I had to think too much about the controls to enjoy playing, ( and usually spent time running around looking at the ceiling or floor and performing death spins strafing the crap out of the room when attacked).
just because a controller had 60 functions does not mean you should use them.
needless to say I spent most time playing indie games that did not involve too much thought
>>>>>>>>>> ok I am old and cranky, it smells mostly of mothballs and arthritis scream
Tomb Raider and 3D
I think one thing that's important to note is that Tomb Raider was one of the early games that jumped on the Voodoo bandwagon. Not long after the Monster 3D card was out, special patches to Tomb Raider (and other games) appeared to take advantage of Glide rendering. Tomb Raider with the acceleration was what sold me on Monster 3D/Voodoo. The boost in speed and the "smooth" graphics were breathtaking at the time.
Loved the original Tomb Raider. After Toby Card left, the series went downhill fast (Right around Tomb Raider II which had very few "tombs" to raid and too many city environments with vehicles to pilot). After TR II I gave up on the series.
That said, when Crystal brought Toby back for Tomb Raider: Underworld, things got really interesting again. Enjoyed the heck out of that game (the big swinging hammers in Valhalla actually gave me vertigo).
I object strenuously to the sentence,
"she flaunts an overinflated chest and ass to the masses"
if I recall correctly, she had rather boyish buttocks.
Re: Sirs
Does it not take one to know one (or two, perhaps) ?
Re: Sirs
>rather boyish buttocks
Nothing wrong with that.
I almost shat myself when it appeared on TR1. I'd never seen anything like it before.
100% awesomeness.
Re: T-Rex
You missed the ZX81's 3D Monster Maze then?
*That* was frightening...
I had the original PC game
But it was so buggy that I gave it away. Stuff like walking into a wall and getting stuck half in the wall, could spin around but not move otherwise.
I've still got a (probably still) working Sega Saturn and copy of the original TR kicking about in the garage. Complete with hacked audio output hanging off the SCART and a drive lid microswitch override for playing "backups"...
The most recent incarnation is a bloody great game...
As someone with no previous Tomb Raider experience, the last TR game was fantastic... and was dirt cheap in a Steam sale to boot.
How do I suggest a game to cover?
As a gaming nostalgia boffin, may I suggest you look at the Rainbow Six franchise for one of your upcoming gaming articles?
The first mass market successful 3rd person game.
and it was all downhill from there...
if its action, 3d, and not in first person its a bag of shite.
It was true in 96, and it's just as true today as you try to walk your 'toy action figure' around the miniature play-mobile of Los Santos....
I never got any further than backing her in to a corner and making her grunt, but why would you need to.
Still have nightmares about swimming
TR - one of the first games the wife and I played together. Still have nightmares about the number of times we sent Lara to her death swimming in an underground cistern looking for some lever or other.
Being young and stupid at the time (me, not the wife) we played this all the way through with only pistols. By the end of it we were like Olympic gymnasts. You get very good at running and jumping when all you have to take down the boss at the end of each level is a pair of peashooters.
Well, I liked it.
For what it is worth, this was a great, great game. I was suitably impressed and my brother and I spent countless hours playing this. I remember we'd sometimes play through together - one of us acting as the lookout for the other, noticing hidden ledges and so forth. Whatever criticisms can be leveled at it regarding the character and depiction of Lara or the fact that cut-scene were not so novel to the PC crowd, the fact is that I enjoyed it an lot and many others did to.
It showed very clearly that 3D adventure/exploration platformers could work and sell well if done right.
The atmospheric music and effects were particularly good, if memory servers.

I don't get to say this very often, but I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was well written, the pace was good, credibility was in check, the turn at the end was unexpected AND did not ruin the book. Overall, I would say this is one of the best if not the best book by Hurwitz I've read

What would you change if you could go back and re-imagine your education?
Your Education Officer, Tom Maksymiw, invites you to make that a reality…
What were your expectations of an LSE education? Why did you choose to study at LSE? Has LSE met your expectations? What can the School do to make an LSE education something you're proud to experience?
All LSE students have got answers to these questions and we've all probably had a moan about some element of education at LSE. As your Education Officer, I'm keen to make sure that students have a genuine voice in conversations about the future of LSE. That's why on Tuesday 25th November I will be hosting Re-Imagining Our Education, to start that conversation between the School and students. This will take place in the Denning Learning Cafe, first floor, Saw Swee Hock Student Centre.
This event gives you the chance to discuss your views on LSE education over some food and drink with award-winning teaching staff and your fellow students. LSE Pro-director, Paul Kelly, and Dr Neil McLean from the Teaching and Learning Centre will also be taking part.
This is a chance to make your voice heard on your education to people that make the big decisions about teaching and learning at LSE.
Reserve a free ticket now!

Consensus reached on Sequim UGA rezone
In April the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board ruled that some zoning in Clallam County was not compliant with the state's Growth Management Act, a law designed to reduce urban sprawl.
In reaction to the ruling, the county began seeking compliance in the contested areas and appealed a few of the rulings to its Superior Court.
A decision on the appeals is not expected for another year. The appeals counter that zoning immediately outside the urban growth area is too dense, that Carlsborg planning is invalid and that the challenge to the zoning was made after the allotted time frame.
The county will need to reach compliance by October or ask for an extension.
Urban growth area
Not all of Sequim's growth area was deemed noncompliant. Clallam County Planning manager Steve Gray said the challenged land base is about 450 acres.
The land was zoned initially with a maximum density of two houses per acre. The county instituted interim zoning shortly after the ruling, which allowed upward of four to five houses.
Gray suggested the Planning Commission direct staff to take steps toward changing the zoning to the increased density permanently.
"While the growth board did not identify a bright line of four units, but they did say two units per acre was not in compliance with the (Growth Management Act)," he said.
The county set zoning at two homes per acre because of critical areas and a lack of public utility services. Also, the city of Sequim was the lead in setting the zoning in the area it was expected to grow into, which the county approved.
Gray hasn't received much comment from four out of the
five "nodes" of noncompliant land regarding the up-zone, but has received many letters and petitions from residents of the Palo Verde subdivisions between Priest and Hendrickson roads.
Most residents in the area are requesting removal from the growth area and have been for years in order to avoid annexation into the city and higher densities.
"Thank you for supporting our previous petition for removal," area resident Harry Gasnick said, indicating the petition was denied by county commissioners.
"This is an emotional topic, we never wanted in and we have been treated, at best, unresponsively and, at worst, dismissively by the city and cannot look at constellations in the sky because of ambient light from Wal-Mart and Home Depot."
Sequim Planning manager Dennis Lefevre spoke at the meeting, indicating the city had no plans to annex the area and that there would be no change if the residents did not ask for change.
"Annexation is landowner driven and extension of utilities would not be forced unless septics began failing," Lefevre said. "So the current character of the neighborhood will remain as current residents remain as well."
The city was not in favor of reducing the growth area size in 2004.
Planning Commissioner Gary Gleason spoke in favor of the reduction.
"The UGA is in the county's jurisdiction and we would be derelict in our duty to not actively explore exclusion or locking in zoning in that area," he said.
The commission directed staff to take steps toward the denser zone in all contested growth area nodes while putting a moratorium on building in the Palo Verde subdivisions specifically while the option of a smaller growth area was looked into.
Because the growth area size is not a part of compliance, the commission opted to look into the matter as a separate issue.
Clallam County environmental planner Carol Creasey gave the planning commission an update on Carlsborg and its sewer. The Carlsborg growth area was deemed invalid because it did not have the service.
The county and the Clallam County Public Utility District have hired a consultant to take a feasibility study for a new sewer system to the next level - a capital facilities plan.
The county hopes that once the plan is complete and funding is lined up, the growth area will be deemed compliant.
One issue looms over the plan, however, and that's whether or not the sewer system will be funded or supported by the Carlsborg community.
Many have indicated they want to hook up, yet there is a strong contingent of residents who do not want to pay into a new sewer.
"The county needs a capital facilities plan for this project before we can know what grants we can get and then know what the assessment to homeowners will be," Creasey said.
Creasey and Gray said they were looking for consensus to move forward with plan A - to create a capital facilities plan. They indicated there was a plan B, which including reducing the size of the growth area or making it a limited area of more intense rural development in order to reach compliance.
