- Great FindOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/17/2014Pleasantly surprised as I'm not vegitarian. The food was great, the service helpful and engaging, and the ambiance was very nice. Next time we will sit outside. Happy hour provided great choices. I recommend this to anyone for a nice, flavorful and healthy meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Making Memories at the SuncafeShelbyDined on 11/14/2014I recently experienced such a memorable evening with girlfriends at the Suncafe. Upon our 'early' arrival (which is a first i must say), we were pleasantly greeted by Hong and even seated within minutes. Our table on the patio gave us the opportunity to enjoy the evening sky and the adjacent fire pit with decorative low lighting made for the perfect ambiance. Our server, Jamie, was fantastic. She was prompt, personable, professional and had a vast knowledge of the menu which was appreciated as this was our first visit. We had the Raw Mushroom soup and I felt it was excellent (one bowl was enough for two to share if you are having an entree as well)--- It comes at room temp (raw). We ordered the split Sun Nachos and I really enjoyed the jicama vs the chips. The Sweet Potato fries were perfect (they are thick and 4-5 come in one order). I enjoyed the Mac N Cheese made with cashew cheese.. The Key lime pie made with avocado (trust me… it tastes awesome… ) and the Almond Butter Chocolate Cheesecake (I think it is made with a bit of coconut as well..) literally melted in my mouth..throughout the evening We all sipped on a smooth bottle of La Closerie des Lys- Pinot Noir. Losing track of the hour, we ended up closing down the Suncafe. Although we apologized for this, Each and every employee we encountered assured us it was no problem. My friends and I are not vegan and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and overall experience; so much so that, we have dubbed it our "new favorite place" ! Many thanks and accolades to the chef and the wonderful Suncafe staff!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WowOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/10/2014Very good raw food restaurant. Feels great to eat vegetables served creatively, deliciously, and raw! Cooked is available also for someone who wants a hot meal. Amazing facility--very welcoming, lots of different eating areas. Outdoors and indoors. Parking lot in front (valet), or just park on the street nearby. One of my favorite places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Great ServiceSkycycleVIPDined on 11/8/2014The service here is excellent and the food is great. Love the new location, too!Special Features:
- Great vegan restaurantAmooseDined on 11/3/2014As a vegetarian, I'm used to skimming through a menu and ordering the one vegetarian offering. At Sun Cafe, everything is vegan, so all options were open. And the menu is so varied and interesting, it was hard to choose what to order. Everything we had was delicious. The Soup of the Day, a Moroccan Lentil, was fantastic. The outdoor dining areas are lovely at night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So goodPureyumDined on 10/24/2014Finally tried Sun Cafe after wanting to for months. My friend and I ordered a few things to share so we could explore the menu a bit. Everything we had was great. The service was good and so was the atmosphere. It did get pretty loud the more crowded the bar got. That being my only complaint, I will definitely be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New locationsteveidrum23Dined on 10/24/2014I used to eat there for lunch at old location further south. New location has better parking, a nice patio, and a bar area that was a little lively when we arrived, but quieted down a little later. I believe it was a private party. Not too rowdy, just people having fun. Food was just as healthy, and interesting as ever. Staff was very friendly, and helpful. Will go again for dinner, and lunch now. The sliders were fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time lunchAlohaannaDined on 10/16/2014Just ordered lentil soup and caesar salad and ginger kombucha. The kombucha was vibrant and great tasting. The lentil soup was flavorful, well-balanced, would order again. The Caesar had a few too many capers (and I love capers), I think to try to make for the fact that there weren't any anchovies. All the food was very fresh and flavorful. My friend ordered the Pad Thai, which I think I will order next time. The flavors were really nice and balaned and the tofu was sauteed with a nice brown crisp exterior and much more flavorful than I was expecting. Will definitely come back and explore the menu further. The patio is really beautiful and closed off from Ventura Blvd, a nice oasis near the studios. Great service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pad ThaiZenEditorDined on 10/14/2014The Sun Pad Thai was very tasty. Looking foreword to another dish next week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect placeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/13/2014A fantastic vegan restaurant with a great beer/wine list and exceptional service. Love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding Food and ServiceGoddessLDined on 10/11/2014My friend and I went there for my birthday, and I ordered a dish which on the menu looked fabulous, however was not particularly my style once I got it. Wally was amazing in allowing me to return the dish and get something else that I wanted. Not Only did he bring me a new dish, he also brought a special slice of pizza for both myself and my friend, as well as gifted me a fabulous piece of pumpkin cheesecake for my birthday. I could not have asked for a better birthday experience, and Sun Café is absolutely outstanding! Highly highly recommend anyone who wants good vegan food, as well as people who don't usually eat vegan or vegetarian food, to come here. It is a wonderful find for anyone who likes to eat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vegan Heaven!DarstcoachVIPDined on 9/29/2014We love Sun Cafe's new location! Sitting outside on the patio in the evening is a special treat. The Valley has been needing more pretty patios, and this one is a treat. The food is consistently excellent vegan food. I recommend the Sun Cafe Nachos - ask for half blue corn chips and half jicama chips - and the mushroom soup!Special Features:
- My Favorite Vegan CafeSilkweaverDined on 9/28/2014Within 30 miles of my home, there are exactly 2 restaurants that serve organic vegetarian food. Driving 50 miles for a fabulous lunch with good friends is a perfect way to spend a Sunday. The new restaurant location is perfect, very comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Spot is Unbelievably Nice!ChewieDined on 9/27/2014The last time I ate at SunCafe was at their old location just down the road. What an upgrade! The new spot is way more spacious, and while I enjoyed the ambience before, they have definitely stepped up their game here. We ordered the Pad Thai and Supreme Pizza. Originally wanted the Farmer's Market Pizza, but our server said it had been replaced. That was disappointing--please keep updated menus! The food itself was really tasty! I wonder how the Pad Thai would've tasted as a warm dish... Our server was nice and pretty attentive until at the very end when we wanted dessert. Needed to ask someone to grab him after waiting ~10 minutes. No biggie--he came right over. For dessert, get the Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake. Seriously, just do it.Special Features:
- Great vegan restaurant!wed0166Dined on 9/26/2014Sun cafe is the premiere vegan experience! Wonderful location. Beautiful decor inside. The food is phenomenal. Best shakes and smoothies on the planet. (Particular note: must try the mint shamrock shake!) Non-vegans will be won over, given the chance!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good vegan optionjmjrVIPDined on 9/26/2014Good vegan option in Studio City but there are other accessible LA options equally as good.Special Features:
- Great experienceteresaDined on 9/23/2014My husband and I are newbie vegans and have struggled to find great vegan food outside of home. We will definitely go back to Sun Café. Our server was great and took time to explain the dishes and give his suggestions. One in our group struggled a little to find something substantial because he eats meat but he had the risotto which was rich, creamy, and perfectly prepared. The Sun Burger is very tasty and filling and my husband had the Italian sandwich and loved it. Definitely share the desserts, they are large and very rich...and delicious. The patio area is very inviting and it seems like a great place to stop by for a smoothie and hang out. Very friendly staff and convenient valet parking. No hesitation recommending Sun Café.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Real GemOnlyEatOutDined on 9/13/2014I'm not a vegan and really wasn't excited about going here. I was so wrong. The food is great. I'm still not a vegan but will be back often. The SunCafe is a real gem.Special Features:
- slow servicecleoDined on 9/1/2014service was good when present but too slow - we had to ask for each thing rather than being solicitedSpecial Features:
- Very disappointing experienceHeidiVIPDined on 9/1/2014The service was dreadful, we waited for quite a while for menus, to give our orders and for our food. The waitress was hard to flag when what was served was so unsatisfactory it had to be sent back. Would NEVER return.
- mehOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014Food was unimpressive for the price. I was dining with a fellow vegan chef, and a meat-eater that loves to eat vegan. We were all underwhelmed with the food and service.Special Features:

- OUTSTANDING VEGAN DININGfoodchowVIPDined on 8/22/2014With the atmosphere of a very nice restaurant, a good wine list, a fine beer list the Sun Cafe serves sophisticated vegan food that is good for the body. Knowledgeable servers explain the ingedients and some very surprising concepts to make it easy on first time diners. Laid back, warm and inventive. This restaurant is on our list of regular places to eat - and it's healthy too! Valet parking. Patio. Reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best cuisine in LAThoughts4myfoodDined on 8/17/2014When it comes to dining out, my expectations of food are kind of high. This place always has consistently good food. Healthy raw vegan food and I'm not even vegan but I crave the lettuce tacos and zucchini lasagna. Smoothies and cupcakes are a great guilt free treat to and the sangria is the bomb! I've dined here at least a dozen times at the old location and new. Service was perfect on this last visit. It can be hit or miss sometimes though. I'm sure they will work out the kinks. This place is wonderful!!! ;-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Neighborhood Gemluv2eatoutDined on 8/15/2014Delicious food. Great for food allergies! The macaroni and cheese is outstanding as are the fiesta burger, the portabello mushroom sandwich, and the almond butter 'cheesecake'. Terrific menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Vegan FarejmitchlDined on 8/5/2014Seriously great food, period. Not just "great for a vegan place" - GREAT. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. The "dairy" elements made mostly from nuts are incredible. The key lime pie - completely raw - was perhaps the best I've ever tasted. For me - I am not vegan, by the way - this place was a bit of a revelation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious AND nutritiousYumTumDined on 8/4/2014Wow! I was taken aback at how delectable food is at this organic cafe! I'm not vegan or a raw food fanatic but there were so many great sounding options. We shared three entres and all we're delicious. A lovely patio. Great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We were disappointed this time...davidyDined on 8/1/2014We have eaten at the old location a number of times and found the food outstanding. This was the first time at the new location, which is very attractive. But, the food was very disappointing. The did offer to replace what we ordered and they paid for our dessert. We hope this was a fluke.Special Features:
- Party of 3PlantpowerDined on 8/1/2014Fantastic food! Other than needing to remind the waiter that I was still waiting on a sun burger that he obviously had forgotten after my lunch dates had finished half of their meals, everything else was great! The new location is much easier to talk in and is much roomier than the old one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Looks Good Tastes Good Sounds MehthepriestandthebluebirdDined on 7/28/2014Sun Cafe recently moved to a lovely and MUCH larger venue with great parking - Mac N' Cheese has been modified (I preferred the original) and it seemed the prices were a bit higher - however the food was still fantastic but the music left a dull sound in our ears..... my BF said he expected to at least hear new agey type music or preferably chill/lounge/cid jazz but it was kind of what you expect to hear at Sizzler ... with a lot of top 40 middle of the road easy listening rock from the late 70's and 80's.... otherwise Sun Cafe is a staple vegan location for us and our friends... Highly recommend their cooking classes on Saturday mornings :-)Special Features:
- Eating healthy never tasted so goodScjimVIPDined on 7/26/2014Yes it is a vegetarian restaurant which offers vegan and raw options. It is an inventive and highly skilled kitchen turning out flavorful and creative healthy food that is simply delicious.Special Features:

- Amazing!LlanetMartinDined on 7/19/2014This place was cute, central to LA, and the food was super delicious and healthy! My group and I all have different dietary restrictions and this place accommodated it all! To say we enjoyed this place is a HUGE understatement! We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Healthy and HappyHealthyFoodieVIPDined on 7/14/2014Each dish is thoughtfully created, balanced and surprising (in a good way). The cacao shake is enough of a reason to return. The zucchini lasagna and accompanying garlic bread with balsamic was the perfect entree. Raw dishes abound and there are choices within choices. For instance the nachos could be raw or cooked. I chose the cooked option with corn chips - - a must! Enthusiastic, interactive staff. Raw, vegan and gluten free foodies finally have a place they can be proud to take their meat eating friends to!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

In a lot of ways, the Seattle Seahawks' 2012 schedule mirrors the type of schedule they had in 2011. The scheduling gods weren't kind to the 'Hawks to start either season; in 2011, they played against five playoff teams out of their first eight games, and in 2012, they play against five playoff caliber teams in the first eight games. In 2011, the Seahawks started the year 2-6, before finishing the year a strong 5-3. The difference in 2012 is, the Seahawks should be in a better position to hold serve during the first eight games, and then finish the season strong in easier games to make a serious playoff push. Also, since the Seahawks presumably solved their shaky quarterback situation with the off-season acquisition of Matt Flynn, the Seahawks should be very competitive even with some tough opponents in the first half of the year. In 2012, the Seahawks will start the season on the road against division rival Arizona, who sports a defense that improved by leaps and bounds over ...

False rumors ruined woman's SAU44 career, suit says
In her suit brought last month in Rockingham County Superior Court, Anne Kebler of Intervale claims the administration ignored its own sexual harassment policies and allowed the rumor to go on for months.
Over time, Kebler claims the rumor made its way through the school system, which serves Northwood, Nottingham and Strafford, and into the community.
Kebler argues the rumor negatively affected her professional and personal reputations, her marriage and family, and eventually caused her to become depressed and leave her position.
"When there's bullying or a hostile work environment, it needs to be fixed and remedied quickly," said her attorney, James Bianco Jr. of Bianco Professional Association in Concord.
The problem in this case, Bianco said, is that nothing was done and that it went beyond "ordinary workplace misspeak."
Bianco insisted that the rumor could have been stopped if action had been taken, such as addressing a letter to school personnel explaining how spreading rumors isn't appropriate and offering proper training on sexual harassment. "What we're really hoping is that we get to return this very capable, hard-working administrator back to a job," he said.
No extramarital affair
Superintendent Michael Ludwell, one of several defendants named in the suit, refused to comment on the case Tuesday because he hadn't seen the lawsuit.
"I don't even have a copy of anything," he said. "Without seeing it, there's nothing I can really say."
The lawsuit was filed a month after the SAU's Joint School Board named a new superintendent to replace Ludwell, who plans to retire at the end of June.
Also named in the suit are the SAU, the SAU Joint School Board, and "John and Jane Does" who were either school employees, volunteers, elected officials and/or SAU contractors whose identities will be revealed in future court filings.
The suit makes numerous allegations against the defendants, including defamation, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.
The case stems from the rumor that began in November 2011 when one or more unnamed "Doe Defendants" began telling coworkers that Kebler had engaged in an extramarital affair with another SAU employee, the suit alleges.
"This rumor was false, as Anne has never had an extramarital affair with an SAU 44 employee, and has been happily and faithfully married for more than 36 years," the suit said.
The suit cites a sexual harassment policy adopted by the three school districts in the SAU which defines "comments about someone's sexual activity" or "gossiping about" someone's sexual experiences as "sexual harassment."
No action, suit claims
According to the suit, Kebler, who became special education director in 2009, met with Ludwell on Nov. 13, 2011 to report the rumor.
"During this conversation, Anne was shocked to learn from Superintendent Ludwell that he had known about the rumor for over a month," the suit said.
Kebler asked Ludwell to immediately investigate and "remediate the false rumor" to stop it from spreading throughout the SAU, according to the suit.
While the suit said Ludwell indicated that he would investigate and take action to stop the rumor, Kebler claims nothing was done and that the alleged inaction violated district policy requiring the superintendent to investigate the rumor and file a report on the complaint within 10 days.
Two weeks later, Kebler claims she was informed by Ludwell that he had spoken to three staff members who were aware of the rumor.
"By that point, the rumor had become widespread throughout the SAU 44 workplace, causing Anne's emotional distress to increase and a hostile work environment to develop," the suit said.
Kebler met with Ludwell again on Nov. 30, 2011, and asked if any action had been taken, the suit said.
"In response, Superintendent Ludwell then asked Anne to tell him what she thought he should do. Anne then suggested that, at the very least, staff training and education could help to stop the false rumor from spreading even further outside of SAU 44," the suit said.
Kebler claims he still did nothing. His alleged failure to take action "had the effect of reinforcing the rumor," causing it to spread to school board members, her family, friends and the community, the suit said.
iPad rumor swirls
In February 2012, the suit accuses one of the so-called "Doe Defendants" who is believed to have started the rumor with spreading another "false" rumor that Kebler had misappropriated special education resources and funds to buy an iPad for the "benefit of the SAU 44 employee who was allegedly in an affair with Anne."
Kebler complained to Ludwell again, but claims no action was taken even after it was determined that no money had been misappropriated, the suit said.
According to the suit, Kebler later met with the Joint School Board to discuss the rumors and how she had repeatedly brought her complaints to Ludwell.
"After this meeting, Superintendent Ludwell sought out Anne and blamed her and her comments for the Joint Board's renewal of his contract without a raise. That same day, Superintendent Ludwell gave Anne her performance evaluation, where for the first time in her 15-year career in administration, the ranking of her performance in five different areas decreased," the suit said.
After her meeting with the Joint School Board on June 25, 2012, the suit claims the board asked Ludwell to investigate the rumors and make a report; Kebler has never seen a report.
The "emotional distress," "mental anguish," and "severe stress" over the "hostile work environment" and damaged reputation caused Kebler to become depressed, the suit said. She took a medical leave in October 2012 and has now resigned, her lawyer said.
Kebler seeks damages for lost wages and other benefits, the depression she suffered, legal expenses, and enhanced compensatory damages because the defendants' conduct was committed "wantonly, maliciously, and/or oppressively," the suit said.
Bruce Patrick, a Strafford School Board member who chairs the Joint SAU Board, could not be reached for comment.

DETROIT Lawyers representing Detroit in its quest to enter the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history say eliminating pension benefits for retirees isn't among their goals.
Jones Day law firm attorney Bruce Bennett also told federal Judge Steven Rhodes on Tuesday that he doesn't think the state has an obligation to guarantee municipal pensions.
Rhodes is holding hearings Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of next week's trial to determine whether Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy.
City unions and retirees point to the threat to pensions as among the reasons why bankruptcy should be denied. They say pensions are protected by Michigan's Constitution. State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr has said federal bankruptcy law supersedes state law.
Orr says Detroit has $18 billion or more debt, and that pensions are underfunded by $3.5 billion.

Erectile dysfunction, the inability to attain or sustain a penile erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual intercourse, affects an estimated ten to 30 million men in the United States. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by many organic abnormalities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, vascular disease, neurogenic disorders, and other chronic diseases. Erectile dysfunction can be effectively treated with a variety of methods, including the implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis. A multi-center trial is to be conducted to assess the AMS IPP 2002 Inflatable Penile Prosthesis including handling during IPP implantation procedures and short-term follow-up experience of subjects. The study will collect pre-operative information comparing the pump operation using scrotal models of the current pump with the study pump, and baseline erectile function history. Surgical data will be collected to assess device design and procedure enhancements. Patient and physician assessment of study device function, ease of use, ease of training/learning, and adverse events will be gathered post-operatively.

More Alexander Payne Book News: WE MADE INDIEWIRE!!!
The Web's leading site for independent film is running an exclusive feature this week on my Alexander Payne book, including an excerpt. This is our first national coverage. It coincides with the book becoming available, today, on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and for Kindle and other e-readers.
Read: Exclusive Excerpt From 'Alexander Payne: His Journey in Film,' A Book That Goes Behind-the-Scenes With the Oscar-Winning Auteur
The collection will be available November 13 from Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, as well as for Kindle and other e-reader devices. Go HERE for more info.
I first met Payne in the fall of '97, and my first story about him appeared at the start of '98. Though I have covered many other filmmakers and film projects since then, my body of Payne work remains unique for its duration, scope, and depth. Early on, I recognized in him an important cinema figure and the fruits of my cultivating that relationship are the stories that comprise this book.
I also saw in Payne an opportunity to write about one of the most significant Nebraskans in film to come along in a while. Many from the state have made major contributions to the film industry either by the prominence or quality or volume of their work….I have interviewed several of the contemporary figures…Payne is the preeminent filmmaker among them all…
Some of the fondest memories I retain from my professional life are the lively, engaging, one-on-one sessions I enjoy with Payne. They are as much conversations and explorations between two film guys as they are interviews between subject and journalist.
Payne, as you would expect, is a superb interview. Highly literate. Thoughtful. Composed. He is rarely less than frank. He can be both profane and flat out funny. He is only politically correct and circumspect when it serves a project. He generally knows what you are looking for but does not necessarily hand it to you on a silver platter, which is to say he will only give as good as he gets. He does so much press now that he does sometimes repeat quotable nuggets or tag lines from interview to interview. The strategic part of him has shown more as his career has exploded. Who can blame him?
Oh, I have my scripted questions at the ready all right, because I always feel I have to be extra prepared, not to mention be on my mental toes with him, certainly more than with most subjects. He is so damned smart that it can be a bit intimidating even now, 15 years into our relationship. I make sure to do my homework when possible. But I am also comfortable enough to go off script and wing it on occasion and to let him take these interludes wherever he wants to go with them. The best material often comes from these asides or addenda anyway, and so I am not about to curtail his digressions or flights of fancy. Or my own for that matter.
In preparing this book I was reminded of the rather comprehensive Payne archive I have been able to compile as a result of doing so many interviews with him over a decade and a half period that roughly covers his entire feature filmmaking career. It is an archive that no other journalist or author has been in a position to acquire. This body of work has accrued because I have persisted in covering him and cultivating our relationship and because he has responded by consistently granting me great access. The often exclusive interviews and unfettered access continue…
Some who know about my long-tenured coverage of Payne assume that he and I are friends or buddies. Not exactly. I mean, we are certainly friendly with each other. But we do not hang out together. Ours is definitely a closer relationship than most journalists have with a subject, but it is by no means a rare or unprecedented one. We never speak about it, but my sense is that he and I feel the same in that while it is fine we have this thing together, we do not push it so far that it compels him to meddle in my work or tempts me to compromise my journalistic integrity.
In other words, we do not cross certain lines. That includes not probing too deeply into our personal lives. I only rarely mention his life away from film in my stories. He has no financial stake in or editorial control over this book. He never interferes with what I write, just as I never think about censoring my work to please him. We both want it this way. It's the right thing to do and it avoids weird conflicts of interest.
Because I am in the unique position of having covered him for so long and in such an in-depth manner, this book uses the interviews and stories I have done to chart the arc of his filmmaking career.

Leo, Rushing through the Omaha airport on Oct. 16th I brushed past a semi-long haired, beautifully and casually dressed man with salt pepper longish black hair. I didn't see his face but minutes after I regretted not addressing the man face-to-face and thanking him for being so aesthetically presented in his physical appearance. The expensive hair-cut alone I've seen in LA and NY on occasion. Artists, especially when they finally are in the money, generally pay close attention to how they are presented. My friend, Dr. Manhart, who I was in Omaha to see, clued me in as well as my sister who lives in Lincoln, that the mystery man may well have been Alexander Payne who was making a movie in Norfolk. I am excited to read the book, as 'The Descendants' was one of my favorite, favorite movies. And my two favorite books in the last year were the bios of Steve Jobs and none other than Mark Manhart. I look forward so much to reading the book on Alexander Payne. And I want to believe that that gorgeously dressed man was Alexander Payne or some kindred artistic spirit.

Customer reviews
Arguably the most popular multiplayer game ever madeGmen | Sept. 8, 2014 | See all Gmen's reviews »
This started off life as a mod for Half-Life years ago, and sees you choosing between various terrorist factions and special forces counter-terrorist groups from all over the world.
You have several maps to choose from and different game modes (like hostage rescue, bomb defusal, etc.), but the basic point of gameplay here is that you start off in one part of the map and complete various objectives in said map, all while eliminating the enemy. You also make money while you play, which you can then use in the buy zone to get new weapons and other items such as body armour. There is a time limit, so this carries on until the round has ended.
Most people will no doubt love this game for its multiplayer. There's a variety of different maps including environmental effects on the player (icy water will drain health, and snow will slow the player down so he can't run or walk as fast, and not to mention trudging through snow makes a lot of noise).
There is a single-player that you can be played with bots, and that will be challenge enough for some, but it's a game that doesn't, in my opinion, have a lot of replay-ability, particularly in single player mode. I often tire of playing it after several sessions.
Counter-Strike hasn't aged well graphically, and to be honest, there are other Counter-Strike games out there that are more modern, like CS: Source and Global Offensive. But if you want a classic multiplayer experience then Counter-Strike isn't a bad buy at all.
Old But Goldkiller92 | July 25, 2014 | See all killer92's reviews »
CS is one of the most popular FPS ever, and it's for a reason. If you haven't played CS you made one big mistake, my friend. CS is old school FPS, and that means no health recharging, no air support, no vehicles, it's just you and your gun...my friend.
This is a game of skills and little bit of luck, so the only one you can rely is you and your team. You can find a lot of mods for CS, skins and maps so you never get bored playing it.
If you don't mind a little bit older graphics this is game for you.
Classic multiplayer game that will never die.Furrek | July 7, 2014 | See all Furrek's reviews »
This game was played everywhere, by everyone. Like, if you are a gamer, and you like multiplayer games, there is no way that you have never played Counter Strike. It's suprising simply game, but everything depend on two things: First one - your own skill. This was my probably first game, and Counter Strike is probably one of not many games where skill counts not your wallet, where individual skill of every player is so important. Another thing is teamwork. It's team versus team game. You can play 6vs6, or even 12vs12, depend on server that you are playing one. Sure, you can kill everyone in enemy's team, but it will require very high skill. You can't go wrong with Counter Strike. It's just a perfect online game. If you will get bored (in which I doubt), there are few interesting mods. You don't need to trust my, or other gamers, reviews. It's a Valve game. They know how to make great games.
Shooter you won't forgetCARLEST | June 28, 2014 | See all CARLEST's reviews »
This is probably the most known game ever, the Counter-Strike. It is really awesome how a mod got so famous. This game has everything: shooting, knives, grenades and players. There are different modes on servers so you can play classic shooter, try time surf and play deathrun, where you have to run to the terrorist and kill him, which is pretty hard. It's nice how mod gets modded. People have added tons of different things to Counter-Strike and made it really different from the original mod. There are only two sad things about this game: Pirated games and cheaters. Pirated games aren't so bad, as every game will get pirated once, but cheaters are really sad. With cheaters you can't play normally. Anyway, this is a really good game for any shooter fan.
A cheap way to experience competitive FPS at its bestmugaro | June 18, 2014 | See all mugaro's reviews »
Since it first came out in the late 90s, Counterstrike has come and changed the way competitive FPS is. Earning money through kills, hostage rescues & winning the round, buying better guns. It sounds like a "no duh" today, but CS really revolutionized multiplayer FPS back in the day. The sides are nearly symmetrical with the difference being availability of a few guns to buy, but you can always pick up a gun from an enemy.
This was the first game I saw use the flashbang, the riot shield, realistic sounds for things like the ak47 & magnum powered sniper rifle (awesome sound to hear by the way).
Get the valve pack, play this, CSS or CSGO. It's a great multiplayer game.

Collecting cultural souvenirs in Europe
With each trip I take, I make it a point to bring home cultural souvenirs -- gold nuggets of experiences I'll remember all my life. Whether it's sitting and talking with a Muslim at the Great Mosque of Granada in Spain, waving a flag at an Irish hurling match, or getting naked with Germans at a spa in Baden-Baden, it's experiences like these that give each trip that extra sparkle.

America is struggling through a dark time of economic uncertainty, cultural frustration, and throwing itself into foreign policy quagmires the likes of which no one has ever seen. It looks obvious that President Barack Hussein Obama is not up to the job of governing. His Keynesian stimulus package, his government takeover of the […]Continue Reading →

Ask Dr. P
Galdino Panzarone
Dear Dr. P, Just last week CBS News had an article saying that oral sex causes oral cancer. How can this be true? It seems to be a scare tactic invented by sexual puritans.
Dear Concerned.Â
It is both true and scary.
I too saw the article that clearly stated that […]Continue Reading →
Letter: You Can't Blame Campus Safety
Jillian Foerster
The opinion article written by Josh Goldsmith in the most recent issue of the Brackety-Ack is poorly reasoned. I actually agree with his underlying argument that marijuana should be legalized. However, questioning Campus Safety's (not "Security," a mistake appearing fifteen times) tactics for enforcing a federally mandated law is not the correct method […]Continue Reading →

While there have been some speculations about the two of them engaging in a feud, there are currently no plans for CM Punk and Daniel Bryan to work against one another in a program from now until Wrestlemania 30.
The current plans for Big E Langston has him working a big match against Mark Henry at the Royal Rumble. The two will be selling a mentor and pupil story line on episodes of Monday Night Raw first.
It appears that Daniel Bryan will be moved into a feud with Bray Wyatt soon, as WWE has already scheduled them to work together on live events as practice.
Word going around is that despite doing the tease between John Cena and Randy Orton at the end of the Survivor Series last night, the two of them are not expected to feud until Wrestlemania.
Prior to forming the massively popular British Bulldogs tag team, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith were booked in a long feud in both Canada and Japan.
There's talks that WWE could use Ryback in a feud with Rey Mysterio to put over the popular masked performer in his return feud.
Despite the tease on Monday Night Raw this week, the Wyatt Family and the Shield are not expected to feud any time soon. Some within WWE are wanting to save that program for Wrestlemania 30.
It looks like the relationship between Lilian Garcia and WWE officials is not as bad as it seems, as the longtime announcer and diva has revealed that she a contract extension with the company. It is believed that Lilian signed on for at least another year.
While management isn't exactly pleased with her music career, Lilian Garcia does have the support of her fellow WWE divas backstage, many of whom have publicly helped spread her music to their fans on social media sites such as Twitter.
Since Ryback took a quick jab at her while doing commentary on Monday Night Raw, the belief is that there is now some backstage heat towards Lilian Garcia for trying to focus on her music career while also maintaining her gig as a WWE announcer.
Lilian Garcia revealed that she is shooting a new music video with her new band soon. The longtime WWE announcer has recently started focusing more on her music career. She's done a couple of shows already and is looking to do more.
Lilian Garcia was performing with her band in Las Vegas over the weekend, so the longtime WWE announcer decided to fly straight from Nevada to Houston, in order to work the Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay per view on Sunday night.
There is said to be very little to no backstage heat towards Lilian Garcia for focusing on her music career. The longtime WWE announcer recently performed in Los Angeles and Las Vegas with her new band.
Lilian Garcia and her new band performed at the world famous Whisky a Go Go club in Hollywood last night. She has been taking some time away from WWE as of late to focus on her music career.
Lilian Garcia will be performing with her new band this weekend. They have been booked for shows in both Hollywood and Las Vegas.
Since she is scaling back from her WWE duties, Lilian Garcia will not be joining the crew on the European tour this month.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
"The game doesn't need a great story, because it has amazing gameplay."
Actually, yea, it does. Without a good story, its just another hack and slash.
The gameplay is good, but nothing special, nor is it anything that hasnt been done before. All the game requires is a bit of attention, perseverance and decent hand - eye cordination to be mastered. No rocket science there.
The game is good for what it is, but it could have been so much more. Though From admitted they bit off more than they could chew with Dark, so maybe next time they will see their vision come to life.
I do not think it is fair to say the game has no story. The same was said about Demon's and this is simply not true. The game doesn't force the story and lore down your throat, it instead leaves hints and clues and secrets for you to uncover and piece the puzzle together.
The thought gone into this is so detailed and vast that it is enough to sustain an entire section of a forum rather busy with people trying to piece everything together and map out the many correlations and happenings that led to your state in the world. There really is a lot to the game that the player can uncover if he choses to.
you say forgettable NPCs? I beg to differ. Yes- it is possible to encounter a NPC once or twice in what you might consider random moments in the game only to listen to them make absolutely no sense at all... ans yes its possible to play through the entire game 1,000 times and not find any NPC story or background. BUT.. let me tell you this- i almost fell into tears over multiple NPCs storyline.. and im generally a hard-ass. all i can tell you is that you have to involve yourself rather deeply to access said storylines. this isnt a fallout type story-telling style where the people in your world stop moving if YOU dont trigger them to do something. if you skip talking to NPCs in DKS thier world keeps moving. its actually like theyre on thier own quests with or without you as a friend/companion/enemy. without interaction they will continue on thier own journey and proceed to die, fail, succeed, get away with it or just dissapear out of your world. i think the way the story CAN develop IF you choose to involve yourself is completely genius. you come to find out what makes them tick - and when that happens.. and you follow THIER journey through this creul dark world... that will be the point that the character will be etched into your mind forever. read the descriptions of items. pay close attention to every detail. TRY to put thier story together and you will understand.
and BTW... i started on SOCOM(the first one) for ps2. granted i skipped COD games but i love good realistic FPS that require teamwork and a plan of action to succeed... ive logged hundreds of hours on BF3 and i find some remarks extremely stereo typical and wanted you to know im currently in the painted world with a squishy dex faith build that carrys a bow and a broadsword and refuses to use a shield wearing the dingy set and carefully and methodically navigating worlds and engaging enemies. hell ive beat the game in starting wanderer gear with no shield either. so im not sure what those comments were about but i consider myself a true gamer thats flexible, innovative and uses imagination to achieve my goal. pretty good at it too.
just dont want you all thinking everyone who plays(and loves) FPSers is a braindead brute with zero intelligence. thanks for reading.
"stroy in a game is like a story in a porn movie" - John Carmack
that's his (and mine) opinion. anyway stroy is no vital part of a game. the perfection in a game can be achieved without any stories or something. the only thing you need to know is an objective, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. the rest is not necessary.
the way a game can communicate with the audiance is much stronger than narrative. story is just an option. I tried to explain it to people, but they do not usually accept! people say a game with no story means that it is nothing but pure entertainment! but I don't agree. anyway, I hope you get the point.
about the NPCs, the sense of isolation you have throghout the game is a nessecary part of this game. so that was the best decision to keep the NPCs far away from you, they are on their own, facing their own world, fears, demons. If you care about them, and try to follow them, you'll of course remember them! but if you not, they are stranger with no tendency to communicate with you, they will be gone and you'll never see or hear of them...
about the rest of your complaints, people said enough I guess. another thing about the limited flasks and sorcerries/miracles is that it prevents any possible exploitation using recovery items or sorcerries because they are limited, you can't spam your flasks while facing a Dark Sprit player for example. you know what I'm saying if you are a hardcore Demon's Souls player.
and I still love Demon's Souls more than Dark Souls! I just started a new game with a soldier class. I enjoy it as much as the first playthrough (this one should be my 18th, counting the ring of sincere prayers I have).
hope you can enjoy these games as much as I do. the only problem is that I cannot play anything else except these two!
(sorry for my bad english)
i never thought the story line was to bad its a bit blurry at times but its more character storylines in the game. whats his name in the fat armour siegmiyer (i think) he has 3 endind trying to get solaire to the last boss fight took me forever to work out how to do it. im just working on rehas storline now. my first run through i didnt see any of this stuff

Open season is one of the funniest book I've read in a long time!!! enjoy.
This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Howard's depiction of an uptight librarian looking to turn bad-girl as she approaches her 34th birthday is hilarious. Good, suspenseful story too! Much better than Howard's recent books. Highly recommended!

We miss it here in north Texas. We've had far too little for far too long.
I shot this photo as part of a DallasNews.com slideshow at the Most Good Music Festival in Fort Worth on September 6, 2014. Nobody, even devout concert-goers, was complaining about the rain. Jack Ingram and Stoney LaRue headlined and although several bands were rained out in the afternoon, Ingram and LaRue went on to perform in a constant drizzle.
I heard no whining.
This shot of Jemez Falls came from a small workshop I taught on night photography this past Labor Day weekend on the Jemez River in northwestern New Mexico. We all enjoyed the respite from the 100-degree Texas temperatures and the four days with no cell phone or Internet reception. Even the small town of Jemez Springs has no cellular service.
The waxing gibbous moon wasn't a factor in these shots and the Milky Way provided more than enough light for our group. A blue-filtered flashlight provided the color.
We saw elk and mule deer from our camp at 7,800 feet. Our return home featured a Sunday morning breakfast at Cafe Pasqual's in Santa Fe and a tour of the Monroe Gallery where legendary photojournalist Steve Schapiro's work is featured.
The Monroe Gallery is, in my opinion, the finest gallery for photojournalism on earth and I never miss the opportunity to spend an hour there looking at the work of my photographic heroes and, increasingly, my photographic contemporaries.
Speaking of contemporaries, John Filo's Pulitzer Prize-winning shot from the Kent State Massacre is available for purchase in a limited edition of 50 signed prints.
Soon, my friend and teacher Joe McNally's work will go up at Monroe Gallery through Nov. 26 and I'm looking forward to making a return trip to Santa Fe to see Joe's first one-man show in that fabulous gallery space.
I frequently shoot for TexasTribune.org and was delighted to have the opportunity to illustrate writer Jay Root's story on Jeff Miller, the California political consultant behind Texas Governor Rick Perry's new image.
While hundreds of Israel supporters rallied in front of Dallas City Hall yesterday, July 30, 2014, one lone protester stood well outside the fray to make his voice heard.
Dallas Cowboys fullback Robert Newhouse, 64, died Tuesday July 22, 2014 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Griff Smith, my editor at Texas Highways magazine, gave me this assignment in November and I completed much of the shooting by January 4. However, the editors at TH decided it was strong cover candidate so I concentrated on the Sundance Plaza area and the four umbrellas. At dusk the LEDs come on and illuminate the undersides of the umbrellas in what makes for a very cool light show. The LEDs on the buildings surrounding the plaza are synchronized with the umbrella lights so at various times the entire plaza is bathed in red, blue, orange, white and, my favorite, TCU purple.
You can read the story by Margaret Shakespeare here on the newly redesigned www.TexasHighways.com
I also shot photos of the newly renovated Granbury Opera House. It's a gorgeous new venue for the resident company and a real source of pride for the community.
Fort Worth is my favorite town on earth. Getting to photograph my town for my favorite magazine was a real delight.
It didn't feel like work at all. But don't tell Griff.

I fantasize about running for President, but in the same way I fantasize about being Batman. I wouldn't want either job, but it's fun to think about how I'd handle certain situations. One situation that pops up all the time is when a reporter asks a candidate to respond to his opponent's campaign promises to do the impossible. My fantasy answer would be "My opponent thinks voters are stupid."
The great thing about that answer is that it would generate world headlines. Second, it would resonate as being honest and accurate. You'd have to make sure you weren't making unrealistic promises yourself, and that's the hard part. But it would be a killer line.
Calling your opponent names, like flip-flopper, clearly works to some extent. But telling voters that your opponent thinks THEY are stupid would work even better, especially if it is clearly true that he thinks that.
I've also been working on good sound bites for both Obama and McCain. Obama's sound bite is easy. He took heat for suggesting a specific timetable for withdrawal before he had visited Iraq and talked to the generals. That seemed dumb. Then he made the best political move I have ever seen, by saying a President has to see the bigger picture, so generals in Iraq can't be the ones to determine when we leave. Agree with him or not, it was a brilliant political move. He needs to capture that in a soundbite: "Generals fight wars. Presidents make peace." It sounds like universal wisdom. That's a good sound bite.
Now that the Iraqi Prime Minister wants the U.S. to leave on Obama's timetable, McCain's biggest issue is gone. Even if you think McCain was right about the surge, it is no longer relevant to the election. No one cares that an old guy once made a good decision. The average voter doesn't know enough about economics to make the economy a powerful issue for McCain, and it's too late for him to start hammering on social issues. So McCain's sound bite needs to be something vague yet persuasive. I suggest: "Do voters prefer words or actions?"
The great part of that sound bite is that everyone is programmed to automatically prefer words to action. And to the extent that Obama is viewed as a great orator, and McCain is seen as more of a man of action, you start thinking the sound bite actually means something. And phrasing the sound bite as a question forces the listener to automatically answer it, thus reinforcing it in the irrationsl part of the brain. It is the political equivalent of "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." It sounds like a reason to the unreasonable part of your brain, which unfortnately makes most of your decisions.
The other sound bite I have been thinking about wouldn't work for the election, but it's funny: "Change is good until it's your turn to be the diaper."
Do you have a better sound bite for this election?
[Disclaimer: I don't think either candidate meets the minimum standard to be president. And I won't have a preference until I complete a poll of economists that I'm working on now.]
My favorite fantasy in this genre is imagining what I could say to a kid that would make him think he should substitute his own judgment for mine. My fantasy argument goes like this:Kid: Can I climb on the roof?
Me: No. You'd get hurt.
Kid: I'll be careful. And my friend Brian climbs on his roof all the time. He never falls off.
Now at this point you realize that regular reasoning isn't going to win the day. You have to resort to the "Because I said so" fall-back, but while effective, that never seems like a clean win to me. To the kid it appears you don't have a good reason and you're just being an ass about it. That's why I fantasize about the rest of the discussion going this way:
Me: Do you know who invented the roof?
Kid: No.
Me: It wasn't a kid. In fact, nothing important has ever been invented by a kid. Do you know why that is?
Kid: I don't care.
Me: It's because your brain won't be fully developed until sometime in your twenties.
Kid: I'm not listening TRA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!!
Me: You don't understand why you can't go on the roof because your brain isn't developed enough to understand the risk involved.
Kid: You suck. I hate you.
Me: I'll make you a deal. If you can find anything in this house that was invented by a kid, I'll admit that kids know as much as adults and you can climb on the roof. Use my computer, which incidentally was invented by adults. Go nuts.
(seven hours later)
Kid: Golly. Not only was I wrong, but probably stupid as well, and perhaps a little bit insane. I now adopt your viewpoint as my own. Would you like a bite of my sandwich?
Me: Thanks, but the last time you washed your hands was in amniotic fluid.
This makes me wonder what would be the very worst name you could give a kid to guarantee he or she gets beat up three times a day. You can play at home. How about...

I was reminded of this when I heard about Al Gore's ambitious recommendation that we should attempt to generate all electricity from green sources in ten years. Many experts believe that timetable is too ambitious.
What do you think?
It is safe to assume the federal government will be more hindrance than help. Any real progress will come from brilliant individuals inventing things, funded by super rich investors. I can't see them cracking the full nut in ten years, no matter what gets invented.
Meanwhile, 99.99% of the general public is treating this as a spectator sport. It makes you wonder how you can help, since this might be the most important battle our species has known.
I can vote for the candidate who has the best energy policy, but none of them have plans ambitious enough to make a difference. And yes, I recycle. But let's face it: Recycling is the masturbation of energy policy. It might make you feel better, but it won't put a dent in global energy needs.
I wish some entrepreneur would create a way for citizens to invest in clean energy sources without having to gamble in abstractions such as the stock market or venture funds. I would love to invest in, for example, a particular windmill, or a piece of a solar farm that is generating a particular amount of energy each day. I would even invest in a few feet of new transmission cables in a specific place. I wouldn't care that it was a great investment if I knew it was directly helping save the planet.
If I could name my windmill, and see webcam pictures of it on the Internet to see how it is running, along with a widget on my desktop telling me how much power I am generating today, I would invest in it just to help save the planet, even if I knew the financial return was marginal. The same goes for investing in discrete parts of a solar farm, or any other clean energy source.
I realize windmills are expensive. But I'd be happy owning a share of a particular windmill with friends. We could name it together.
My prediction is that the brilliant scientists and the super rich investors working on clean energy can't meet the ten year goal by themselves. Some entrepreneur is going to have to figure out a way to get the other 99.99% of the country involved. If that happens, the ten year goal seems feasible to me, assuming the government stays out of the way.

are there clamps on either side of the elastic band so that i may hold up both sides of my sock ?
Would the "teeth" on the clips ruin the top elastic of my dress socks?
I am always dreaming of different ways to show off my socks, whether they are the centerpiece of my outfit, or they're just peekin' through a rip in my jeans.
