Out with a bang: The Last of Us lets PS3 exit with head held high
I'll soon be offering my thoughts and reflections on this year's E3, but before all that it seemed worth waxing lyrical about new PS3 exclusive The Last of Us, a game that points the way to what the next generation should really be aspiring to do. Gaming's Citizen Kane moment? Maybe, if Mr Kane was being chased by zombies. The …
Always assuming
That the reports of the recent 4.45 system update bricking a number of consoles isn't part of a cunning plan to kill off PS3s in advance of the PS4 launch... Seriously though, might be worth not updating for a few days until the situation clears and/or the update is replaced.
Re: Always assuming
Why is there no story covering this? No Sony rewards for covering reality? Keep the promo pieces coming.. won't be long before you get your new PS4 for 'review purposes'...
Re: Always assuming
From PS3trophies.org:
>Sony has pulled the latest PS3 firmware update, following reports that it is causing errors with "a small number" of consoles.
>"We are aware of reports that the recent PlayStation 3 system software update (version 4.45) has caused the XMB to not display on a small number of PS3 systems," said Sony in a statement.
>"We have temporarily taken 4.45 offline and are investigating the cause of the problem. We will announce when the system update is available for download as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience."
So it would seem it's not the usual handful of consoles on their last legs that just happened to fail at update time anyway... (see various forum threads of 'New Game X' YLOD/RROD'd my console every time a new game comes out)
Re: Always assuming
Because it's a miniscule 5 owners reporting problems amonst a PS3 userbase ofg 80m playstation 3 consoles...
Thankfully El-Reg seem to have some sense of scale. Shame the BBC don't...
Re: Always assuming
Not sure why you got a down vote there, guess it must have been the joke about Sony bricking PS3 consoles before the PS4 launch...
Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the update... although Googling it I see that the update has already been pulled. I guess I'm lucky that I didn't update last night (I use my PS3 heavily for Netflix and Lovefilm so no doubt would have been prompted to update, as it happens I didn't touch my PS3 last night).
I wonder what the fix will be for folks who have been caught out by this update?
Re: Always assuming
Go into recovery and reload the firmware. It's well documented how to do this.
It's really non news. Problem is, the remaining handful of butt hurt Xbox fanboys are making a huge song and dance about this. (I wouldn't put it past them to make this whole problem up as a FUD publicity stunt).
It is me or
Does the Last Of Us guy look suspiciously like Nathan Drake from ND's Uncharted?
Re: It is me or
He does appear as a voice actor for one of the characters..
Re: It is me or
Huh? Not even a little like Drake. Joel is at least 30 years older, for a start, has heavy facial hair, and a bit of a southern Drawl. In terms of behavior, he could not be more different either.
Great game. Fortunately I finished it before my PS3 decided to eat itself during a system update. A system restore seems to have worked, but I lost all my game installs.
Best game of the year?
Got to be honest, despite some minor niggles, The Last of Us is probably the best game I've played in 20+ years of gaming, certainly the most emotionally invoving and demanding, with believable characters you develop a real attachment to, and you're never certain exactly how the game will end. Violence is bloody but realistic, you certainly feel as you are fighting to survive with no vicarious thrill to the killings; you need to approach combat in a totally new way, those Clickers are a f^%£$*g nightmare to deal with, best to avoid combat if at all possible,
Re: Best game of the year?
Truely incredible game, and yet again shows what the PS3 is capable of when not constrained by the limitations of the Xbox 360.
"shows what the PS3 is capable of when not constrained by the limitations of the Xbox 360"
Yeah, I've always found that my PC games worked a lot better when not constrained by the limits of a console.
@ Pascal Monett
Yes, especially when you know games are usually developed on a PC based dev kit, then effectively converted to the console format to run.
When you think that a current mid range PC with a £120 GFX card is around the same as a PS4/XBone, would be interesting to see what a game like this would look like on a current high end PC, assuming the engine has the capability of taking advantage of it of course.
OK I will spell it out.
5GB of DVD storage, 90% of which is slower than the PS3's Blu-Ray drive is both access time and data rates.
Lack of standard HDD across all models in the range.
Slower GPU when you factor in the cell's additional GPU ability.
Better dev kit.
These are what all developers know are the REAL reasons why PS3 games when unchained from the Xbox360 show they are a generation ahead. Microsoft of course will continue to push the myths that none of these are true, but the results speak for themselves. Every PS3 exclusive totally spanks it's counterpart Xbox360 title.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
What relevance does DVD speed have? All that does is mean the initial install to HDD is sluggish.
Although rest is valid for the most part.
But of course the PC is then being chained down by the limitations of both the XBox 360 and the PS3, and has been for years. Even a cheap dual core system with an entry level gaming card at <£100, spanks the capabilities of both consoles.
The one thing I'm hoping for with the next gen consoles, is that even though they will be outdated compared to a current gaming PC even before launch day, is that as they are effectively 386 machines with a mid range AMD GFX card, finally game engines that are shared across platforms will be updated to use multi core CPUs properly, something that's been rarely utilised in the ported console engines, although is there for PC only engines. Now these PC only engines can be used on the consoles, and the console ones updated.
@Pascal Monett
Have they added multiplayer to LINPACK then?
Re: @ Pascal Monett
It won't have the capability, to use the Cell properly is nothing like a PC.
(This is presuming this is close to the best it can do this could be just what happens if you put a moderate amount of effort in).
There again they could just have used the SDK properly with their own engine that was designed specifically for the cell.
I would still rather have a tatio type x2 based console with the games on ssd's running the same stuff as is in the arcades in asia. I would pay £150 a game or whatever.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
They are not 386 machines in any way shape or form.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
They are not 386 machines in any way shape or form.
He was talking about the PS4 and Xone - they're both x86 systems.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
"Even a cheap dual core system with an entry level gaming card at <£100, spanks the capabilities of both consoles"
Of course, when trying to do a $:bang comparison it really helps the PC whinger's cause to isolate the cost of the GFX card alone as if a PS3 or an XBox don't have complete system architectures of their own. On a more realistic comparison:
The cheapest "gaming" PC sold by one reasonably priced box shifter here in NZ *starts* at NZ$999, compared to a PS3 system (500GB) available currently for NZ$355. That's almost 3x the price.
But let's break it down: You are setting aside 100 GBP (about NZ$200) for the GFX card, so that leaves you NZ$155 - around 75 GBP - for your core "gaming" system. After allowing 40-50 GBP for the 500GB HDD, you are left trying to find a case, motherboard, PSU and a decent CPU not to mention RAM and gaming controller (one is included with the 500GB PS3 don't forget) for the princely sum of... 30 QUID.
If you really think that's plausible then I suggest you call an ambulance and sit very still while you wait for it to arrive, in case you hurt yourself.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
@ Jolyon Smith
You seemed to have missed what I was trying to say, I wasn't comparing system costs, I'm well aware a PC, especially a decent gaming rig, costs more, sometime much more. than a console.
I was simply stating that a budget gaming GFX card was more powerful than the current gen console GFX. And as many game engines are focused on consoles, those engines are effectively only written to take advantage of what is to a PC, a budget gaming card.
So for some games, the only advantage you sometimes get on a PC is the ability to run in higher resolutions and/or a better frame rate, but not always better quality GFX or effects etc. Therefore the PC version of the game is often being held back by what is basically, an outdated game engine.
Especially when you take into account the massive changes and enhancements to things like particle and fluid effects, and other things that simply didn't exist in hardware, or were at least much less capable, when the current gen consoles were designed. So some items you see in PC versions of game engines, are simply impossible to do in a current console game.
Some engines of course are designed to utilise the PC capabilities fully, and on those occasions, games can look astounding.
Obviously the new gen consoles should allow the consoles to catch up to the PC for a while, and should enable new and updated engines to take better advantage of newer chip set features, that PC users have been seeing for years. So hopefully the new consoles should benefit all gamers, console and PC players alike.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
This is called trying to "have your cake and eat it too".
You simply cannot buy a "cheap dual core gaming PC" that will "spank both consoles". A modern spec'd gaming PC might be able to do that, but not a comparably priced PC, certainly not a "cheap" one, where "cheap" really has to be talking about comparable price. Otherwise the comparison is meaningless.
Why? Obvious. Of course something that costs 2-3 or 4-5x the price of something else is going to be better. Duh. It's completely pointless to say that a "cheap Ferrari" will "spank a Ford Mondeo". For example.
And you also left out the part where you buy your much more expensive PC in the hope of getting all these enhanced effects in the game, but with no guarantee that any one game will take advantage of your particular selection of equipment, because of the variation and constantly shifting/improving state of the hardware out there. It simply isn't cost effective for publishers to spend time tweaking their products to make the most of every possible bit of kit it might run on, and certainly not on the older gear. Dammit, people should just upgrade already.
The consoles don't have this problem at all. And ironically, as consoles age, so the games that come out actually get better, even though the hardware hasn't changed. Simply because with a fixed target to aim at, the developers get better and better at extracting the most from that hardware. This is a cycle that has been repeated since the very first PlayStation - look at the first gen games on that console and then look at things like Gran Turismo which came much, much later. The hardware stays the same (and gets cheaper and cheaper) but the games get better and better.
Compare and contrast with the PC gaming mentality which is that developers don't need to worry too much about making the most of the hardware because the punters can just upgrade the hardware or downgrade the game settings if their rig isn't up to the job.
I know this flies in the face of the "truthy" thinking about how such things work, but it is the reality.
Re: OK I will spell it out. @ AC 13:24
This is called trying to "have your cake and eat it too".
"It simply isn't cost effective for publishers to spend time tweaking their products to make the most of every possible bit of kit it might run on"
It might be time to update your knowledge of PC programming. Long gone are the days where gaming companies developed for specific "bits of kit".
These days, they develop for specific API functions that have been accepted as standard for the industry. For example, these days DirectX is at number 11, and game makers shoot for those capabilities. If your kit is compatible, then the game works. If not, well then yes, you'll have to upgrade if the game maker has not provided a secondary DX 9 path.
You are apparently confused by the amount of available hardware and its compatibility with existing games. On my existing hardware, I can play SimCity (the original version), just as I can Battle Field 3, and very many games in between. In fact, it is not my hardware that limits me so much as Windows itself - for some reason I can no longer install Microsoft FreeLancer correctly on my Win7/64 OS.
In other words, the opinion you state dates from about 15 years ago and no longer applies today.
PS3 exit?
It's not gone yet!! There's still a bunch of great games due for the 2nd half of the year. Enough that i think i'm going to hold off on getting a PS4 for a while.
Re: PS3 exit?
As is often the way, developers just about work out how the get the most from a system just before it is replaced.. Remember Tekken 3? Or Twilight Princess (on the cube)?
Re: PS3 exit?
PS3 has another 4 years of life yet. Just because more developed nations are 6 months away from a PS4, don't assume it's the death of the PS3...
Re: PS3 exit?
Indeed, even original Xbox is likely to be around for a while after the XBone is out.
XBox 360 was launched in 2005, last XBox game came out in August 2008.
Console games always follow a similar pattern: launch games are good because a lot of time and effort has gone into them, and the last handful of games is good because the coders have mastered the system. In between it's not so great as deadlines push quality down while coders are still learning what works well.
It looks pretty good actually.
It's just a damn pity I can't purchase it for a system with a proper controller better suited to FPS. ie kbd + mouse
Oh well.
Defo not FPS, is third person and trying to snipe will get you killed very quickly, VERY often
If you lack the coordination to use a controller well then there is always easy mode.
Can't you use kbd & mouse on consoles nowdays? I seem to recall a friend talking about his raptor on his console of choice.
Why has Scott Green been downvoted for merely pointing out that this game is not a First-Person Shooter but a Third Person title that doesn't reward out-and-out gun-play in all situations?
>Implying that you can not use an USB Mouse and, or Keyboard on the PS3.
P.s. For Bounus points you can also use Bluetooth Mice and, or Keyboards on the PS3 too!!
@Blank Reg
Well, I thought you were funny... :)
Or alternatively
try a flight sim
You know, suggesting that I should go out and buy a PS3 with a keyboard and mouse to sit on my desk next to a perfectly functional PC simply so I can play one game because some marketing suit has decided it should be "exclusive" to a particular device is hardly helpful.
How about we work towards an industry where people have some choice* rather than having corporations attempt to bully and cajole us into purchasing crap that we don't need?
Can anybody really tell me that they think having "excusive titles" is in the interests of consumers? Maybe Sony could expand on the idea and release movies on discs that will only work on Sony players and Fox could do the same with some other brand? What would it matter if you needed multiple devices sitting underneath your TV depending on which brand of movie you want to watch today? That wouldn't be a problem right?
You know I really don't understand the loyalty fanboys of all stripes have to their "brands". They are willing to forgo all sorts of rights in order to serve the corporate interests of "their side of the argument".
Talk about turkeys voting for christmas.
* Yes, I realise I have a choice not to buy or play that game, which is exactly what I am doing. Deal with it, I have.
"If you lack the coordination to use a controller well then there is always easy mode."
Haha. Some idiot fanboy thinks that playing with an auto-assisted console controller is a sign of coordination.
'tis but to larf.
Sonny, I've been playing "computer" games since the late 70's. Don't asssume to try and tell me how to suck eggs.
It is exclusive because Sony own the studio, they own a number of top studios.
Note that the PS4 was developed from their feedback.
Re: Exclusives
I don't care that Sony owns the studio one whit. It is irrelevent. The point is that Sony have a vested interest in creating "exclusive" titles in order to sell consoles to idiots who normally would probably not buy one.
Under capitalism, that is their right.
What I don't get is all the useful idiots who go in to bat for them with stupid comments like yours, apparently in support of the idea that people should embrace this consumer hostile policy of creating exclusive titles when those same people would balk at the very idea for any other industry.
If you are not in the employ of Sony Corp then that behaviour is plain stupid.
We don't have cars that can only drive on certain brands of roads.
We don't have music that can be played on only certain brands of players*
We don't have movies that can be played on only certain brands of players*
We don't have TV that can only be watched on certain brands of TV's.
We don't have ovens that can only heat certain brands of food.
I could go on. You get the idea I'm sure.
But for the game industry, apparently, we should all just blindly accept this consumer hostile policy of creating "exclusive titles" because . . . . ?
Oh, that's right, because my brand rocks and the others suck donkey balls. Got it.
* Yes this has been tried before (ironically mainly by Sony) and it has failed because, quite rightly, consumers would not accept it.
Re: Exclusives
So lets say that Naughty Dog were given the task of converting to a lower powered console with less disc space?
How would they fit say 50GB on a DVD, handle a processor with less cores and less power than their target one?
Very badly.
Put it this way, Sony owned IPs are written for a computer using a Cell processor using CellOS, low level graphics calls not related to other systems, a certain memory model. So a Window OS using DirectX will be a LOT of work.
Exclusives are where any console shines
I understand your argument...
...I really do and agree completely. but if you like the sound of this game see if you can borrow a PS3 from somewhere.
I agree that exclusivity and corporate lock in is disagreeable but this game, well don't not play this game to make a political point. Save that for Halo and/or Uncharted.
Last great game of the generation?
There's also Dark Souls 2 to come out next year.
Prepare to die.
Re: Last great game of the generation?
Wasn't the first Dark Souls the game that allowed human players to control monsters during their online peer's solo campaigns?
Re: Last great game of the generation?
@Dave 126
Not quite. You have two states - Hollow and Unhollow. Being Unhollow lets you summon other players for help, but also opens you up to being invaded by other players as themselves, not a monster. There was also a mechanic in the game to spawn tough monsters in other people's worlds, but it wasn't that popular because the spawner didn't get a lot of feedback.
Games like this make me sad. I really want to give it a go, but hell if I'm buying a console just for the one game a year that appeals to me enough to play it... and that goes double for a console that's about to be retired. Unavoidable I guess, but still sad.
There's also..
Grand Theft Auto 5, which promises to be utterly epic.
How much do you want to spend? You can pick up a PS3 for as little as £120 these days (12gb HDD) and get the games 2nd hand.
BRD player, media centre and a games console to boot and the console will be supported by new software releases for at least a couple more years
.... Questions remain....
#1. "You stalk your prey silently, invisibly, hugging the edges of the long-defunct cars and concrete barriers that litter the streets in this rotting world.".... How is that different from Hitman or Metal Gear Solid or Left for Dead etc....?
#2. "Yes, there is action constantly throughout, but encounters are buffered by, well, nothingness really. Just moments of calm used to build suspense and develop narrative and characterisation – two facets of design that are so often discussed by games developers, but are so readily bypassed when the final product hits store shelves." .... Not sure how this game accomplishes this going by your description which sounds like lots of other games. Can game owners offer enlightenment.....?
#3. "It's also here that "Listen Mode" comes into its own, in which character Joel sits stock still as his view turns black and white and the silhouettes of hostiles appear through walls. "... This sounds like Instinct mode in Hitman or something similar, how is this better?

Troy transit center vote delayed
Updated On: Jan 09 2012 01:19:19 PM EST
City leaders in Troy have tabled voting on a $6 million proposed transit center within city limits.
The council was scheduled to vote on the federally funded transportation center Monday night, but removed it from the agenda.
The vote is being delayed because one councilmember is out of town on a family emergency.
The City Council in December voted down a proposed $8 million transit center after the city of Birmingham withdrew from the project.
Depending on when the councilmember can return to session, a vote could happen as early as this week.

Inflows into annuity products up 11 per cent in 2013
Related fund data links
Inflows into US annuity products increased by 11 per cent in 2013, according to data in The Depositary Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) Annuity Market Activity Report.
December 2013 was also the first time since inception of Analytic Reporting for Annuities in 2011 that outflows exceeded inflows for a given month.
"Based on the annuity transactions we process every day, we have shed light on critical insights and trends that can be leveraged by industry participants to make more informed business decisions and identify opportunities for growing their business," says Andrew Blumberg, director, DTCC Insurance & Retirement Services (I&RS).
Inflows into annuity products processed in 2013 totalled almost USD94bn, increasing by nearly 11 per cent, or USD9.2bn over 2012. Outflows totalled almost USD85bn, increasing by over 15 per cent, or USD11.4bn, over 2012. The resulting net cash flows totalled USD9bn, declining by more than 19 per cent compared to 2012.
Findings from the year-end report also indicate that the top 10 states ranked by inflows (billions) in 2013 accounted for more than half of all inflows nationwide, and that the top 10 insurance/holding companies ranked by inflows captured almost USD53bn of inflows, or more than 76 per cent of total inflows from January to September 2013.

As a former cheerleader, Danielle Carroll has always been pretty solid.
Traditional workouts, though, didn't hold much appeal for the 26-year-old Fort Wayne woman. Lifting weights and lunges were repetitive. It wasn't until a hobby-turned-profession took a turn for passion that she found herself running on the treadmill and doing bench presses.
I just got a personal trainer, she says. I got far enough in pole that I felt it getting dangerous not to work out other areas.
Carroll is the owner and instructor at Violet Expressions Pole Dance and Fitness Studio, 512 W. Superior St. She first started pole dancing a few years ago, watching videos online and getting a pole from Boudoir Noir to put in her bedroom.
Last year, she was twirling on a pole at the adult store and was later asked to be an instructor. She began teaching and has since become certified to teach pole dancing through Chicago-based Empowerment Through Exotic Dance.
I like that my brain isn't thinking that I'm working out. I'm distracted, she says. It's like a complete workout from the fact that you are up on your toes, and you are working your feet. You are working your legs to your posture. Every muscle in your body is engaged but you can't even tell.
Workout: Pole dancing
What is it: Students learn mini choreographed routines over a six-week session that includes tricks and floor work. Classes are 75 minutes long.
Safety first: Carroll is serious when it comes to the risks of pole dancing. You can easily throw out a shoulder or twist an ankle if you are not paying attention to everything, she says.
Cues for proper form are given during class and corrections are made to prevent injury.
Cross training: Carroll works with a trainer once a week and runs on the treadmill to improve her strength and cardiorespiratory fitness for pole dancing. She also takes dance classes to learn the more technical side of other genres, such as ballet.
Gear: The clothes become smaller and smaller as one becomes more advanced in pole, Carroll says with a laugh. Skin adds friction on the pole, allowing dancers to catch themselves.
For beginners, she recommends wearing bottoms that are above the knee or can be pulled up to expose the knee. Some also like to use knee pads for some tricks.
Rewards: According to LiveStrong.com, a woman can burn about 350 calories in an hourlong class. Carroll says many participants comment that they see muscle definition and weight loss after regular participation.
But it's not just about the physical change, she says. It's also the mental one.
I want to take women who are not comfortable in themselves comfortable in their skin and show them that I don't care what you look like. I don't care how short or tall or round you are, she says. You can feel comfortable in yourself and move your body in a different way.
Goals: I really want to get into competitive level pole, Carroll says. It's a level of pole that people don't really know exist.

- Proper display of tabs and slides differs between browsers and browser versions.
- And depends also on the particular template you're using.
- Some of the slides open only half way for some users: I'm not sure why.
- I still haven't found the right way to make all tabs the same 100% width.
Basically my advice would be: try it, it's free! Make sure you test it in all different browsers. Don't hope for any support if you want to customize.
Try the version just released (1.1.1b2), it should have fixed this issue.

When there's the potential for a foot of snow, many people get excited about the chance to stay home from work. However, managers at Reid's Market say there's one employee they can count on no matter how much snow Mother Nature brings.
Rain, shine, or snow, Reid's manager Mike Hudgins says Linda Lamb always makes it to work.
"Oh yeah, she'll be here, guarantee it. I don't think she ever misses a day," said Hudgins.
A familiar face to customers at Reid's, Lamb has been bagging groceries at the local market for nearly 23 years. She credits her perfect attendance to keeping a tight schedule.
"I work Monday though Friday, 8-9; 12 hours a day then off on weekends. In the mornings when I come in I get change for the girls if they need change. I'm up in the office sometimes doing money orders, and if the girls need help with anything, I'm out here to help them," said Lamb.
"Even if she's just down the other isle, you just buzz for her, she comes, and she's always readily available," said co-worker Cheryl Skinner.
Lamb is a hard worker with a long resume. She says she's been working since age 16 at local places like Rudy's Dry Cleaners, Newcomb Hall, and the Paramount Theater. No matter the job, Lamb says it's the manner that matter.
"I think all the cashiers should speak to everybody that comes in here - through their line - say thank you and be polite and nice," said Lamb.
Linda Lamb makes service with a smile seem like an understatement, and she checks dedication off her list every day. That makes her this week's hero.

Paris 2010: Porsche 911 Speedster is the Hunchback of Paris
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Sep 30th, 2010 at 4:28PM
You can tell pretty much everything you need to know about the Porsche 911 Speedster just by looking at it. It's a 911, which means it's got a flat-six engine in the ass-end and it's got... ahem, classical styling, for better or for worse. We'll just go ahead on record right now and say that it's not nearly as pretty as the original 356 Speedster it's meant to evoke, but what is? Moving on, there are 408 horsepower from the 3.8-liter engine driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK, of course, we just like typing the full name) dual-clutch...

Copake House Rental Photos and Description
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom plus loft sleeping area, sleeps 6
Beautifully restored 2 bedroom (plus attic loft) home brings contemporary living to this hidden gem just 2 hours from NYC. We gutted the house completely incorporating modern amenities like a brand new stainless steel kitchen with granite countertops, hardwood bamboo flooring and a large deck to enjoy the view of the pond just steps away. Relax in the living room watching the fire or the 3D flat panel TV or just looking out the picture window to see the fish jumping in the pond right outside the large picture window. Shmooze in the kitchen or at the dining room table just steps from the sliding doors taking you out on the recently built deck to dine al fresco. Walk down the dock just steps from the house to swim in the refreshing pond or use our kayak for a leisurely paddle. Our home is a great place for all seasons; watch the leaves change in fall, the flowers bloom in spring, close to skiiing in winter and lots of water fun in the summer. Not to mention the close proximity to the Berkshires and all it has to offer. 2 hours from NYC makes this an easy drive just to get away after a hard week at work. The house is located directly on Robinson Pond; a 100 acre pond allowing electric motor boats, kayaks, canoes, swimming and fishing. The house is 30 miles from Tanglewood, close to Jacob's Pillow, a short drive to Bash Bish Falls. This location is ideally situated close to NY as well as to the Berkshires plus hiking, skiing and swimming. Close to Catamount and Butternut ski areas..
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
Guestbook comments from the owner

November 26, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia regulators say the company behind a chemical spill that contaminated the water supply of 300,000 people now estimates some 10,000 gallons of chemicals leaked, up from an earlier figure of 7,500 gallons.
West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection released the new figure Monday from Freedom Industries regarding the scope of a Jan. 9 leak from a plant in Charleston.
The agency says it's still unknown how much of the chemical mix, including a coal-cleaning agent, actually spilled into the Elk River. Residents in nine counties had to stop using tap water for days, except for flushing toilet.
On Saturday, West Virginia Gov. Early Ray Tomblin ordered Freedom to remove all 17 of its above-ground storage tanks

Tracy Reese: Quirky combos and a cat on the catwalk
First off, there was a cat (yep, a real one) on the catwalk at Tracy Reese's show. Lily, a 4-year-old Siamese Blue Point rescue cat, took to the arms of a model wearing a bright floral frock who carried the feline. Reportedly, the cat was supposed to walk down the runway on a leash, but got a little scared – yep, a scaredy cat. Cats aren't that good on leashes, but pet food brand Purina ONE, which sponsored the show and provided the cat, believes there are benefits to leash-training cats. Enough said.
A traffic light hung from the back of Reese's runway, and the designer put out a series of quirky, fun looks…some of them traffic stopping. Her muse was the spunky city girl – an eclectic, slightly eccentric magpie, who would have no problem slipping on say… a slouchy animal print coat over a black cheetah sequin sweater and skinny tan pants.
It was all a little wacky but super cute with mixed prints, bold colors, unlikely fall florals and rich embellishments. In one case, Reese showed perfectly lovely lacy lady dress that she paired with flat booties for a city edge (and maybe comfort). She mixed scarlet tartan plaid with a medallion encrusted tee, or to keep it simple, a graphic zebra trench over a stretchy floral dress.
It was all sort of luxed up, struggling gallery girl meets NYC party animal…not a cat, though.

A dollar bill was rare back in the day.
So rare that if Fort Wayne firefighters got one thrown into the boot for past MDA Fill the Boot campaigns, they'd hold it up for others to see.
We'd turn around and be like, Paper money!' said Capt. Randy Zion, who's been a part of the Muscular Dystrophy Association's three-day fundraiser for at least two decades.
But it's no longer back in the day.
During a three-day stretch in the past week, firefighters were inundated with plenty of ones, plenty of fives and 10s, a lot of 20s and, at least once, even a C-note, folded up and hidden by a woman who cupped it in the palm of her hand before dropping it into a boot and driving away.
And for the first time in its 60-year history, local firefighters raised more than $100,000 for the campaign.
It's been our goal for years, Zion said. We've been so close several times.
The exact figure raised was just shy of $114,000, according to Ashley Zumstein, executive director of the local MDA office.
Last year city firefighters raised $98,000, which was then a record and $15,000 more than they gathered up in 2012.
Why the big spike? It's hard to say.
Zumstein credits a story earlier this month by The Journal Gazette's Chris Meyers that profiled Landon Conley, an 8-year-old boy who suffers from muscular dystrophy and is the son of Fort Wayne firefighter Ty Conley.
That story put a face to the cause, Zumstein said. Plus, firefighters like to take care of their own, she said. Add to that the competitive streak in firefighters – some crews wanting to raise more than other crews – and you had the recipe for a record-breaking year.
There was a lot of fun competitiveness, and the MDA really harnesses that, Zumstein said, adding that the organization is also leading the nation in ALS research, which is driving all the ice bucket challenges spreading across the Internet.
Zion said he couldn't explain the increase other than by the fact that city residents are behind the firefighters and they know what the cause is all about.
In 60 years, the local firefighters' union has raised $530 million total for the MDA, making it the top-ranked union in Fill the Boot campaigns in the state, Zumstein said.
The MDA is amazingly impressed and grateful, she added.

For JESD204B subclass 1, the clocking requirement is quite simple: use the SYSREF rising edge to mark the device clock rising edge which resets the local multi-frame clock (LMFC) of the JESD204B element. Now let's discuss how to achieve this requirement. The datasheet of the logic device or converter will indicate the timing requirements for placement of the...

Nanomaterials Repository
The availability of representative samples of nanomaterials is of key importance for the reproducibility and the reliability of nanomaterials safety testing.
In February 2011 the Institute for Health and Consumer Protection (IHCP) inaugurated a repository of representative nanomaterials. The samples of the selected nanomaterials have been prepared under Good laboratory Practice (GLP) and can serve as international benchmarks (e.g. for the OECD sponsorship programme).
The repository brings together the principal nanomaterials from the OECD sponsorship programme including titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, zinc oxide, cerium dioxide, nano-silver, nanoclays and multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
List of materials in the JRC Nanomaterials repository (Updated 27 October 2011)
To support international collaborative studies, several thousand vials of nanomaterials have been distributed to laboratories in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Poland, Italy, Austria, Slovakia, USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, China and Russia.
The results of the research projects are shared with the JRC and form the basis for reports presenting the physic-chemical characterisation data of the different materials in the repository, and reports on synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide and zinc oxide have been published.
NANOhub information platform
The database and information platform known as the NANOhub was launched by the Institute in October 2009. It is a comprehensive IT platform dedicated to the management of information on nanomaterials which are relevant for safety and risk assessment.
The hub covers application areas such as cosmetics, food and medical. It hosts a number of collections of research project data including NANOtest, ENPRA, InLiveTox, NanoGenoTox, NIA PROSPECT as well as study results from the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN).
The NANOhub information platform is accessible online. It is searchable, interactive and facilitates data and knowledge exchange between projects in a well-defined structure.
Framework for test method development
To supports the Institute's work in the area of validation, acceptance and regulatory use it has established a framework for test method development, automation and assessment. The framework focuses on the reliability and relevance of test methods. It has introduced criteria which allow the selection and prioritisation of methods for human health hazard identification. This comprises the potential to automate and standardise a method for wide use throughout the testing laboratories community.

Progression from FirstCleanse To CleanseSmart
9:25 am
March 23, 2010
Because First Cleanse is such a mild formula, you may want to incude CleanseMORE to help with elimination. CleanseMORE is a natural herbal laxative formula that can help jumpstart a sluggish colon and promote regular bowel movements. Once you have completed the First Cleanse program, yes - you may proceed to CleanseSMART right away for a deeper cleansing experience. At that point, you may discontinue the use of CleanseMORE, as CleanseSMART has a more potent bowel-stimulating component and should help with regular elimination. Good luck!
5:35 am
I am currently on Day 5 on FirstCleanse. I am noticed changes - I have eczema and it is clearing up FINALLY! However, I did not notice much difference in my bowels. I am taking 2 capsules as directed for FirstCleanse II. I was wondering if I can increase the dosage to three capsules. Also, I am wondering, after completing FirstCleanse, is it ok to proceed to CleanseSmart right away? If not, I know there are Detox kits but how do I choose?
Thank you!

How exactly is this so called alliance and its members differentiating themselves? Who is to be held accountable? Sprouters Northwest? Life Force? Brocco Sprouts? Brassica Protection Products? All these company members seem to be interconnected. What seems apparent to me is that this "trade association" is all just some marketing scheme at the expense of the consumer. http://www.thepacker.com/commodity-vegetables/sprouts/Letter-Sprout-safety-issue-requires-industry-reinforcement-179664631.html "Through the alliance, we want to help educate foodservice and retail customers, as well as the end consumer, that a choice exists."

Submissions are invited for the 5th New Zealand Discourse Conference from academics and others interested in discourse analysis that addresses theoretical, methodological or empirical research in a variety of applications.
Given the increasing use of discourse analysis in many disciplines submissions are not limited to any one particular theme. However some of the areas that have been included in our previous conferences include:
|Culture and identity
Gender and diversity
Marketing and consumption
(New) media
Community and health
Place, space and time
Professions and institutions
Work, management and organization
Computer-mediated communication
Literary and historical texts
|Public policy and the state
Ideology, power and knowledge
Globalization and development
Education and learning
Practice and praxis
Language and communication
Science and technology
Creativity and the arts
We are honoured that the following keynote speakers have confirmed their participation at NZDC5:
Distinguished Professor Ruth Wodak
Faculty of Linguistics and English, Lancaster University, United Kingdom
Professor Bob Hodge
Institute of Culture and Society, University of Western Sydney, Australia
Associate Professor Donald Matheson
School of Language, Social and Political Sciences, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
Due to the increasing growth of NZDC, in 2015 we will include an extra stream of individual paper presentations, and for the first time accept proposals for poster presentations and themed symposia.
Each presentation will be allocated a 30-minute time slot, 20 minutes for presentation followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Papers are typically scheduled in a session of three presentations, which, where possible, will share a common theme.
Time will be scheduled during the conference for authors of posters to informally discuss their work with conference attendees. At least one author of each accepted poster is required to register for the conference, and to present their poster during the scheduled poster session.
Symposia sessions, which provide an opportunity for a group of researchers to present on a single topic, should involve three presenters and one discussant. Each symposium will comprise 20 minutes presentation per speaker and 30 minutes for open discussion, introduced and led by the discussant.
All abstracts for full paper presentations may be submitted via the Easy Abstracts submission facility of the Linguist List which can be accessed at http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/nzdc5
Abstracts for individual papers and posters should be 200-300 words in length (excluding references) and include 3-5 key words. Abstracts for themed symposia should include a 200-300 word abstract related to the symposium proposal, as well as a 200-300 word abstract for each individual presenter.
All abstracts should include a title, and clearly identify the topic of analysis, theoretical orientations, and discourse analytical approach employed. Abstracts will be anonymously reviewed and notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 31th July, 2015. Individuals may submit up to two abstracts if one of those is co-authored and the other sole authored.
You will receive an acknowledgement upon receipt of your submission. If you do not receive this, please contact the conference administrator at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Registration will be live shortly.
Before registering, please read the information below. Prices in New Zealand Dollars.
