The Daily Mail has a piece today about Britain's stone age diet. You might think it was pretty much the same as todays diet, but perhaps with fewer crisps and no Violet Crumble, but you'd be wrong.
In fact, nettle pudding - a mix of barley, nettles, sorrel, dandelion greens, and chives mixed with water - was yesterday declared the oldest recipe in Britain. By whom? You might well ask, as I did, but you won't get an answer from the Daily Mail who neglected to source the honor.
Of course Stone-Age Brits didn't survive entirely on vegetarian fare. No, the mighty hunters of the Sceptered Isle also feasted on the most dangerous game - that's right, they ate hedeghog. OK, maybe not the most dangerous game, but you could get a really nasty little nip from one of those vicious things. Apparently, my ancestors feasted on this wild game by roasting it simply in a grass wrap.
You can find recipes not only for nettle pudding and for roast hedgehog, but also for Roman-era garum (great if you like rotting fish bits), barley bread, meat pudding, and a good looking smoky fish stew in the article here.
I'd suggest that in the interest of avoiding any unfortunate incidents, pet shops all around Britain ban the sale of hedgehogs for the next few days...
You can get the oval measuring cups at Fantes.com
Actually, that recipe for nettle pudding sounded good. I've got plenty of noxious nettles in my garden, so maybe I'll give that a try.
But no way would I eat one of the hedgehogs that also live in my garden. My dog has befriended them, in a strange case of cross-species friendship. (I don't think they sell them at pet shops here, they are very plentiful in the wild.)
The hedgehog does alway seem evocatively British, and on reflection I'm not remotely surprised they were a common source of food. The image of The Grand Hunter Of The Past obscures the banal evidence that our ancestors subsisted mostly on smaller fare.
In my zooarchaeology classes, we ID a great many animal bones, and look for butchery marks, and two of the typically dominant animals are raccoon and porcupine. Oh, mighty hunter!
Nettles may be steamed for a tasty and nutritious vegetable dish. The heating kills the stingers. We find them all over in damp spots in Oregon; I always look for the square stems and serrated leaves.

Can you get Violet Crumble in the UK? I thought Violet crumble was Australian?If you can get it i might have to make a trip over LOL
Roman garum isn't really nasty if you think of it as fish sauce... as in Vietnamese cooking. Or anchovies. Honest.

Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform

Bimal Kaur Khalsa
Bibi Bimal Kaur was an Indian politician and the wife of Beant Singh, one of the two assassins of Indira Gandhi. Bibi Bimal Kaur was a nurse at Lady Hardinge Medical College when her husband assassinated Indira Gandhi. Immediately after the assassination she was picked by the Indian security forces, she disappeared for several days leaving her children Amrit, Sarabjeet and Jassi at home. The Damdami Taksal paid for her children's education for two years. Bimal Kaur was later arrested and imprisoned for two years for an incendiary speech in a gurdwara. In 1986, she led a rampaging group of militants attacking the guards at the Golden Temple. A guard was killed and seven people were injured. Later she was elected a member of Lok Sabha from Ropar. Her father-in-law, Beant Singh's father, Sucha Singh Maloa was a member of parliament Sarbjit Singh, her son, was nominated by the SAD (A) headed by Simranjit Singh Mann to run for parliament from the Bathinda and Mansa in 2004. Bimal Kaur death is shrouded in mystery. The first reports that reached the press indicated that Bimal Khalsa consumed cyanide. As she had small children, the suspicion immediately arose that she had been forcibly  ( Wikipedia article )

Judge strikes down Wisconsin's limits on public employee unions
MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin judge on Friday struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers.
Walker's administration immediately vowed to appeal, while unions, which have vigorously fought the law, declared victory. But what the ruling meant for existing public contracts was murky: Unions claimed the ruling meant they could negotiate again, but Walker could seek to keep the law in effect while the legal drama plays out.

Big in 2014: The Trends That Will Define the Year Ahead
Our Editor in Chief breaks down the trends that we'll see again and again throughout 2014
By Michael Boodro
4. Hair on Hide
The popular hide rugs have climbed up onto sofas and chairs and even to tables and consoles. You'll want to pet the furniture in the months ahead. At Lee Industries, you can even choose whether to have a chair upholstered in a summer (shorter) or winter (longer and curlier) fur. And at High Point, Bernhardt featured a handsome console that was covered in the soft skins—a nod to both the trend and classic Jean-Michel Frank designs.

Marina Lambrini Diamandis (Greek: Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμάντη, pronounced /diːəˈmændi/ dee-a-man-dis, born October 10, 1985 in Abergavenny, Wales, United Kingdom), better known by her stage name Marina And The Diamonds, is a Greek-Welsh singer. Despite the name, she is a solo act, the "Diamonds" being a reference to her fans. Her eponymous name consists of Diamandis' first name and the translation of her surname, which means "Diamonds" in Greek. Diamandis released her first single (a double A-side single Obsessions/Mowgli's Road) through Neon Gold Records on Valentine's Day, 2009, closely followed by The Crown Jewels EP in June 2009. Now signed to 679 Recordings, Her first single with the label was Mowgli's Road, released in November 2009. In January 2010 she reached #2 on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll list. This was followed by the release of her debut full-length studio album, The Family Jewels, in February 22 2010, and her debut American release, The American Jewels EP on May 25 2010. The Family Jewels peaked at #5 in the UK Albums Chart and was certified Silver in the United Kingdom days before its release. Hollywood was released as the lead single from the album on February 1 2010, followed by a re-release of I Am Not a Robot on April 26 2010. Diamandis said she decided to re-release the song because "people seem to empathize and relate with the song, regardless of gender or age." Oh No! was the next single to be released from The Family Jewels on August 2 2010, and Shampain follows on October 11 2010, to coincide with her biggest UK and Ireland tour to date. Radioactive was released as the first single from Marina's second album, Electra Heart. The single premiered on BBC Radio 1 on August 22, 2011 and will be released on October 3, 2011. (Radioactive Songfacts). Diamandis' musical style ranges from keyboard-based ballads to more uptempo new wave-style songs with full band backing. She has cited a wide range of influences such as Daniel Johnston, Blondie, Patti Smith, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Elliott Smith, Dolly Parton, and Madonna. http://www.marinaandthediamonds.com www.facebook.com/marinaandthediamonds www.twitter.com/marinasdiamonds www.myspace.com/marinaandthediamonds User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.

For the past year, the wife and I have researched Tattler reusable canning lids. Online we found the lids can be $0.70+ each. We were lucky to find them for $5.00 a box ($0.42 each) at a local grocery store this past summer.
At first we thought they would be just like the Mason snap lids. As they are just lids, how hard can they be? Boy were we wrong.
Out of all that we have canned using Tattler lids, 50% failed to seal. We have tried a few times yet still resulting in a 50% failure rate. We were about to donate them away and go back to using the BPA coated Mason snap lids. But we figured lets give it one more go around on the research before we give up.
And I am glad we did, as we found that some of the rules dealing with the lids had changed. Adapting these changes to our previous methods, and following them to the very letter. What we have canned with the new rules we are happy to say we are having a 0% failure rate.
Here are some rules to follow with precision when using the Tattler lids.
The 7 Rules of Tattler Lids
- Inspect the tops of your jars for cracks and/or nicks. Wash, rinse and sterilize the jars. Scald (close to boiling) the lids and rubber rings. Leave the lids and rings in the water until you are ready to use them.
- Fill the jars with food as indicated per the canning instructions for the food you are processing. Wipe the top ring of each jar after filling. Place a lid and rubber ring combination on each jar. Ensure you do not have 2 rubber rings stuck together.
- Center the Tattler lid on the jar and hold in place with index finger while tightening the metal screw band finger-tip tight. Do not over tighten, this cannot be stressed enough. It will be loose compared to using a metal ring on a Mason snap lid. Product must be allowed to vent during processing.
- Process the jars as per the instructions for the food(s) you are processing. Do not forget to add a dash of vinegar to your canning water to keep the hazing off the outside of the jars.
- When the processing time is complete, remove each jar and tighten the metal band firmly immediately upon removal from the canner/water bath.
- When jars have cooled, remove the metal bands and lift gently on the Tattler lid to determine if any failures have occurred. Sealed jars may be stored with or without the metal bands as desired.
- Date the jar to know when it was processed for food inventory purposes.
Miscellaneous Rules of Tattler Lids
- When removing a Tattler lid, gently insert the dull side of table knife (or similar object) between the rubber and lid or jar to release the seal. Do not use a sharp knife. Or the rounded end of a typical can opener can also do the trick.
- We prefer to hand wash the plastic lids and rubber ring and allow to air dry. Once dry store for future use. Do not save any rubber ring which are cut, nicked or deformed.
- To date or mark a Tattler lid, a Sharpie can be used but will leave a ghost print on the lid after cleaning. Round stickers (1.5″ or 2″) also work, a few will tend to peal up due to the raised Tattler printing on the lid.
- Extra rubber rings can be purchased.
Tattler lids are good for many reasons. First, no BPA on the lid unlike the Mason snap lids. The Tattlers are reusable time and time again, where the Mason snap lids are suppose to be single use then discarded. The Tattlers are easier to remove without damaging and no denting. When vacuum sealing a jar, the Tattlers out perform the Mason snap lids hands down. The only draw back of the Tattlers, no ping sound.
So far we have about 1/8th of our food stock sitting in Tattler lids. Over the next two seasons we hope to have 100% sitting in Tattler lids. And those Mason snap lids can go the way of the video arcades… history.

SWEETWATER, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Sweetwater man has been charged with TennCare doctor shopping for the second time, according to the Office of Inspector General.
Richard Martin, 32, faces a one count of using TennCare to obtain controlled substances by doctor shopping as well as three counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.
He is accused of going to several doctors in a 30-day period to get prescriptions for the same or similar drugs and billing it to TennCare.
He was also charged with doctor shopping last month.
"There was a time when people could more easily commit these crimes without getting caught, but technology has allowed us to find ways of tracking and stopping this crime," Inspector General Deborah Faulkner said.
TennCare fraud involving doctor shopping is a Class E felony carrying a sentence of up to two years. Obtaining a controlled substance is a Class D felony and Martin faces up to four years for each charge.

Published by Wiley in 2002, ISBN: 978-0-471-42808-4
Prior to this book, most cryptography books were geared toward
algorithms and protocols, which hopefully are already provided by some
library. This was my first attempt at going up the stack, teaching
how to use cryptography to solve common problems in web application
Back in early 2000s, the answer to any problem in web security was
"use SSL" or "use PKI" which certainly is part of the solution but
doesn't address data at rest. The original abstract (which I think
the publisher wrote) reflects my concerns at the time, which sadly are
still true.
Cryptography is the gold standard for security. It is used to protect
the transmission and storage of data between two parties by encrypting
it into an unreadable format. Cryptography has enabled the first wave
of secure transmissions, which has helped fuel the growth of
transactions like shopping, banking, and finance over the world's
biggest public network, the Internet. Many Internet applications such
as e-mail, databases, and browsers store a tremendous amount of
personal and financial information, but frequently the data is left
unprotected. Traditional network security is frequently less effective
at preventing hackers from accessing this data. For instance,
once-private databases are now completely exposed on the Internet. It
turns out that getting to the database that holds millions of credit
card numbers-the transmission-is secure through the use of
cryptography, but the database itself isn't, fueling the rise of
credit card information theft.
A paradigm shift is now under way for cryptography. The only way to
make data secure in any application that runs over the Internet is to
use secret (also known as private) key cryptography. The current
security methods focus on securing Internet applications using public
keys techniques that are no longer effective. In this groundbreaking
book, noted security expert Nick Galbreath provides specific
implementation guidelines and code examples to secure database and
Web-based applications to prevent theft of sensitive information from
hackers and internal misuse.
Unfortunately, 2002 was still in the midst of the first Dot Bomb and wasn't the best time to come out. But it did get the best book review in industry
Let's face it, databases are just "naked ladies" on the
Internet. They have no protection at all. This is the first book that
I've ever bought that shows how to use crypto to get some clothes on
those ladies and keep your credit card number and mine safe. Word to
the wise-buy this book.
Thank you, "A Customer" whoever you are!
To my amazement, ten years later the book is still available, this time in electronic form:
So go download a copy and get the souce code from Google Code. See also Check Digits which is related code from the book.

A couple of weeks back, I attended a now-infamous meeting at Sequoia Capital, which has since been widely covered in the press and the blogosphere. For those unfamiliar with Sequoia, it is the world's leading venture capital firm, with a string of early-stage investments in companies such as Apple, Cisco, and Google as well as, more recently, AdMob, Clearwell, and Loopt. The presentation says it more colorfully, but Sequoia's point is simple: "We are at the beginning of a global economic slowdown that could last for years, and the cost of capital has sky-rocketed. In light of that, everyone needs to re-evaluate their growth plans and, if necessary, reduce expenses immediately."
That message sent a chill through Silicon Valley. In the days that followed the meeting, several start-up companies announced layoffs, closely followed by larger companies like eBay and Yahoo, all citing economic conditions in the wake of the financial crisis. So naturally, the meeting and its aftermath got me thinking about what impact our current economic malaise will have upon the e-discovery industry.
If history is any guide, economic downturns lead to more litigation, and more litigation leads to more e-discovery. That's why e-discovery has often proven to be a counter-cyclical business, and that certainly appears to be the case again now. While traditional technology companies like SAP and Seagate missed their numbers last quarter, the top e-discovery software companies posted strong results. And many lawyers are expecting even better times ahead, if last week's ACC show or the recent Fulbright & Jaworski 2008 Litigation Trends Survey are any indicator. In particular, the survey results were quite striking, with more than one-third of companies surveyed predicting more lawsuits, and a quarter forecasting more regulatory inquiries. This makes sense in light of the fact that what we are facing is no "normal" recession; rather, it's a downturn triggered by the sudden and widespread collapse of the banking sector which has left many people wanting legal redress for their grievances.
But, more important than any short-term increase in litigation, I think the real significance of the current crisis is that it will spur a sustained, long-term increase in demand for e-discovery solutions. As revenue growth slows, companies will focus on reducing costs to maintain profit growth. That will prompt many of them to examine the vast amounts of money being spent on e-discovery and accelerate the pace at which they use technology to cut costs by bringing elements of e-discovery in-house. Law firms and litigation support service providers will similarly find their invoices attract greater scrutiny. Their old ways of taking terabytes of data and dumping it into a linear review platform without first removing irrelevant or unresponsive data, will look increasingly profligate.
To learn more about how best to prepare for the coming wave of litigation, and associated increase in e-discovery, I strongly recommend next week's webinar with Ron Best from Munger, Tolles, and Olson (MTO). Ron is a real innovator in this area, with extensive experience dealing with multi-party, complex litigation. He is also full of practical advice about how best to reign in e-discovery costs and manage with limited resources - skills that will be increasingly important in the coming months.
No industry is an island and, to some extent, we all get impacted by the same economic forces. But the unique thing about the e-discovery industry is that the worst of times can often be the best of times. Consider it a silver lining to the very large cloud hanging over our economy.

Can I secure a UK job prior to leaving Australia/ New Zealand/ South Africa/ Canada?
It is not common to secure a position prior to leaving your home country. This is mainly because UK employers have enough qualified candidates in front of them and ready for interview without having to cast their eyes towards overseas recruitment. However, there is much you can do pre-departure to make the employment process faster and less stressful upon arrival! It is WORKgateways' goal to establish links for traveller's like you pre-departure that make the recruitment and general UK transition process more effective and enjoyable. Register to enjoy the benefits or see About WORKgateways and FAQ's
Which types of Accounting jobs are available?
Whether a part or fully qualified accountant, or you have good experience in general accounts, there are positions to suit you. For those with experience coming from Australia, New Zealand and Canadan contract positions range from Data Entry to Part Qualified to Chartered Accountant. There are also permanent positions available. For both job types, a suitable working visa will be required. Employment can be found within the private and public sectors, in-house or within large firms including banking accounting, management accounting, treasury and audit.
Some common Accounting jobs are:
- Accounts Assistant
- Fund Accountant
- Payroll Supervisor
- Fund Tax Accountant
- Accounts Payable
- Project Accountant
- Financial Controller
- Reconciliations Accountant
- Internal Auditor
- Unit Trust Accountant
- Senior Audit Manager
- Fixed Income Accountant
Apart from the conventional accounting roles you would expect to find in a metropolis there are possibly two major areas that stand out - Public Sector and Banking.
Contrary to popular belief, public sector accounting is diverse and thriving, including local and federal government and the National Health Service, which are all evolving to become far more commercially focused. Recently however, budget cuts have made some sectors more difficult to secure employment
The Banking and Finance sector, in London in particular has also provided exciting opportunities and continues to provide excellent job options for many Antipodeans. Some common areas are financial accounting/ reporting and financial analysis.
Another big area is commerce where responsibilities for accountants vary from management/financial accounting through to business analysis and project driven roles.
In general, experience of relevant industry systems, specialised products and competency in using a spreadsheet are all skills that you should ensure are communicated clearly on your resume. Also if you are multilingual be sure to also put this at the top of your resume, there are a considerable number of accounting opportunites in the UK that require competency in another language.
Where are the Accounting employment opportunities in England and Scotland?
Traditionally there are a wide variety of accounting positions thoughout England and Scotland. In the city of London for example, there has always been a high demand for contractors, although this demand has been dampened since the financial crisis. Outside of London, there is also opportunities on offer. Scotland in particular has a steady need for qualified accountants. Many companies have offices just outside of London in the nearby counties. Working in these counties, such as Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Surrey enable many travellers to live just outside of London in what some call "real England" or alternately enjoy the many fruits of living in London with the advantage of an easy commute against the traffic. A smaller but growing number of travellers are also finding employment in the major centres such as Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
How much will I earn in salary or wages as an Accountant?
Pay rates of course depend on your specific experience and on the company or institution that employs you. As a general rule, as you gain UK experience on your resume you will be more on par with your UK experienced counterparts and your pay rates will go up accordingly. UK qualifications and part-qualifications such as ACA, CIMA, and ACCA may also factor into the equation.

Once you have found a position similar in experience, location and industry in most cases you'll be pleased to see that you'll be able to live comfortably and have a bit of money to spare for European jaunts; perhaps even saving a bit to bring home with you.
What are the minimum qualifications and experience required?
For a degree-qualified accountant you will ideally be qualified or have 1-2 year's solid experience in your home country. As an accounts assistant or in general accounts - experience will be the key and once again; 1-2 years experience is accepted. The possible exception to this rule is if you hold an EU passports or UK Ancestry Visa where you can be considered for permanent positions on an equal footing with your British recent graduate counterparts.
Will my overseas qualifications be recognised in Britain?
Degree, diploma and certificate qualifications gained in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or Canada are recognised in Britain. Your experience will also be highly regarded however once you gain UK experience you will find your resume will lead to even more interviews.
Should I get UK accounting qualifications?
There are four professional accounting qualifications - ACA, CIMA, ACCA and AAT. These qualifications are given to individuals by the various professional accounting organisations in the UK. There is a perception by British employers that different qualifications are advantageous for different roles. As with most professions however, your experience is the main consideration. If you are planning a long term stay or want to continue along a particular career path you would do well to consider gaining the qualifications in line with your aspirations. Since CA or CPA qualifications are international in nature they are quickly recognised.
What are the British professional qualifications?
ACA, CIMA, and ACCA are the three major UK qualifications.
- An ACA is an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales.
- An ACCA will have passed the professional examinations required for membership of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants
- CIMA have passed the professional examinations required for membership of the qualified accountants and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants respectively
- There is also the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAAT) which enables people to study whilst working. It offers practical training and qualifications in key accounting tasks and can lead towards Chartered Accountancy
How do I make best use of my experience and qualifications?
Your skills and work experience thus far will always be the most important asset you can take with you to the UK. Gaining further experience will help you even more and often means an improvement in your rate as well as increased job scope and opportunities. Transferring your accounting qualifications can also be advantageous particularly if are thinking longer term. Fortunately, in many cases the qualifications you achieve prior to arriving in the UK can be transferred. In order to achieve the equivalent UK qualification, often you will need to acquire some UK experience and sit some exams. Exactly how much experience and additional study you need to do is a function of the qualifications you currently have, and the country from which you received your qualifications. To determine the qualification that is right for you, first decide what you want to achieve career-wise then decide which qualification provide the best path.

There's a great saying in Spanish, "Dime quienes son tus amigos y te diré quien eres," and it translates into, "Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are." I think that when I was younger the wisdom of this saying would have been lost on me. I would have thought, "Duh, of course my friends are like me, that's why we're friends." But now that I'm older (and hopefully a little wiser) I absolutely get it. When we're older the people we fill our lives with are by choice, no longer dictated by alphabetized roommate assignments in college or random cubicle set ups at work, but by a common viewpoint in life.
Why do I bring this up in this particular blog, which is geared toward romantic issues? To urge you to look at whom your potential partner surrounds himself or herself with. These are people who share a lot of the same values with him. (I'll just stick to "him" to make writing and reading this less confusing.) What they are like reveals a lot about him. Notice if they have integrity and are mature and behave in a considerate manner toward you and others, because he likely shares their opinions on how to treat other people and how to live life. Some obvious warning signs are if he mentions that one of his friends cheats on his girlfriend or spouse. Does your guy laugh at this or mention it with some concern? Do his friends still go out drinking like college frat boys and get drunk regularly? And, does he join them? We've all been dumb in our day, but once you're out of your early 30's it's not so cute and forgivable, it becomes sorry and pathetic. Does he laugh if his friend stiffs the waiter his tip or makes fun of someone's accent? Of course, he's not responsible for his friends' behavior and he may not even condone it, but by keeping people who are cheaters, liars, or basically just lack integrity in their lives as friends he shows that he accepts such behavior in his life even when he could simply let it go. We can't always choose who our bosses, our neighbors, or our office mates are, but we certainly choose who our friends are and who we let stay in our lives.
I'm not saying that our friends have to be perfect – we certainly aren't. But in order to keep them as friends we certainly accept them and their behavior. For example, I might have a friend who smokes even if I don't or who is a vegetarian even if I'm not. But I won't have a friend who uses heroin. That's just something I won't accept in my life, even if it doesn't affect me directly. It's not even necessarily about the behavior but about the fact that it highlights how differently we value life and how we handle life. Nor would I accept a friend whose business is to hurt people by scamming them out of their money, because my work is all about helping people. Our viewpoints of life and work are just too different. That's why my dating advice is to be watchful and see if he surrounds himself with people with integrity, who have good intentions, or immature people, who are looking to get over, because on a fundamental level he is in agreement with them and you need to know that. So be watchful, not necessarily judgmental, just watchful and choose the kind of romantic partner that you let into your life.
Do you agree or disagree? If you were to cut out friends who lack integrity from your life are you afraid you'd be left with no one?

It used to be that the name Tom Clancy raised images of techno-thriller novels packed with undercover espionage and the latest in futuristic military science. Now there are scores of Clancy fans who've never read a single line of prose from the best-selling author. They know him only as that guy whose name is on their video game. Make that video games. The Tom Clancy moniker has been on the front cover of some 50 popular games dating back to the late 1980s.Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the latest of that crop to hit the top of the sales charts. It showcases a bunch of super-soldiering tech and a series of round-the-world, stealthy missions aimed at assessing, assisting … and annihilating. Deadly Deeds Done DirtyThe story starts out when soldier specialists are deployed in Nicaragua to disrupt weapons trafficking. However, after stopping a convoy of vehicles they uncover a highly radioactive "dirty bomb" that's then remotely detonated, taking out the whole team.Your four-man ghost squad of elite soldiers are subsequently assigned the task of finding out where that dangerous device came from, what its intended purpose was and, of course, nipping any potentially deadly plots in the bud before they blossom into world-destabilizing crises. In the campaign mode, you can play alone with a team of three other AI soldiers or go co-op with a handful of real-life gaming pals. In either case, realistic military maneuvers are key. You won't find any mindless running and gunning here. Tactics and stealthy teamwork are proven regularly to be every bit as important as a lightning-fast trigger finger. In fact, part of the main challenge is to live up to the "ghost" name in the title—using high-tech optical camouflage to slip in and out for a quick rescue or to execute a series of stealth melee kills without being discovered. In addition, special spy sensor grenades, X-ray devices, hovering drones, walking heavy robots called War Hounds, and hundreds if not thousands of enhanced you-build-it gun combinations are all at the ready to help you and your team with each assigned mission.Even more cool-as-a-cucumber carnage capability comes in the form of the sync shot. When spotting enemies, you can tag up to four of them from a distance, then signal for drones or your teammates to take them out in one slick move. That way you have the ability to control the squad's firepower without actually controlling their maneuvers—they move, take cover and interact with targets as needed to fulfill your orders. The Realism of a Digital WarBetween the clean graphics and the finely detailed missions, the game delivers a very realistic impression of what it might be like to work as a skilled military team member. In fact, if you start acting out of character with that team structure—moving beyond the mission parameters or shooting innocent civilians, for instance—the current session abruptly ends and, with a slap on the wrist-like move, you're sent back to try again. That's a nice touch, and a moral one, too. But, of course, when an M-rated shooter shoots for realism, you've also got to be prepared for it to bring along a certain amount of realistic ugliness. While actually playing, you hear squishy-sounding thuds and see red blood-spray puffs when a bullet strikes home. While watching the video cutscenes, you're exposed to much, much more. From the opening battle with radioactive explosions and bubbling flesh wounds, to up-close gore-splashing assassinations, to a skyscraper disaster that involves sheets of broken glass ripping and impaling city dwellers, the goings-on can be brutal. And there are no content filters to eliminate that spattering mess or the f- and s-bombs that pepper the dialogue.This is not one of those games designed to spill its goop as a way of entertaining players with grisly gore. And as some of its realistic war-themed peers also do, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier generally lauds the heroism and bravery of soldiers who fight and die to protect our nation and its freedoms.But that also means the enemy you face in the crosshairs of your weapon here isn't some purple alien or snaggletoothed monster: It's a face that looks like the neighbor next door or the classmate at school. Whether it wants to or not, the game teaches tactics that can be just as deadly on or off the battlefield. It can even be accused of helping desensitize someone to the horrors of pulling a trigger.

Game of Thrones: A Novel Approach to "Blackwater"by Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
If you've stumbled upon this post by mistake and have not yet read The Game of Thrones or The Clash of Kings, please stop in your tracks and read TV Fanatic's official review of "Blackwater" by Matt Richenthal.
That review does not contain spoilers and assumes you are watching the series and have not read the books. If you have read the books, feel free to read on, and don't be surprised if you hit a spoiler or two ...
Every week I do my very best to re-read, based on the previews, what I believe to be the pertinent chapters of the brilliant George R. R. Martin novels that inspired the Game of Thrones series.
As much as I'd love to say my mind is a sponge and that two readings were enough to be a basis on which to write these reviews, I'd be lying to tell you otherwise.
The season has been a great challenge to know where to focus and why decisions were made to change characters, dialog and other things we've discussed along the way, sometimes with great disagreement between us. This week, however, George R. R. Martin took the helm and from all of the chaos and change throughout the season made sense of the great battle of Blackwater.
It is his material, after all, who better do it justice?
One of the greatest decisions, regardless of who made it, was to focus only on the battle. The intensity of war and fear that runs through men's and women's hearts as they prepare and charge into battle wouldn't have been done justice had they been cutting back and forth to Jon playing sex games with Ygritte or Dany worrying about the gods know what in Qarth.
The same cannot be said about the novel, where Martin had us doing just what has been done throughout the series, jumping from one character to another, from Jon to Arya to Sansa to Catelyn.
But "Blackwater" worked as a whole. It was needed as a whole.
Martin knew just what dialog was important to keep and what to change. Lena Headly embodied Cersei as a queen on the edge of panic, still unsure why she was a useless woman stuck in the castle without the skills needed for war as her eldest son grew ever nearer the action. Comparing herself to Jaime growing up and that moment when she realized they weren't as one, you could almost understand her need to remain as close to him as possible.
Her dialog with Sansa was practically word for word from the written page, and to see it acted so skillfully by both Headly and Sophie Turner was stunning to watch. Turner hasn't had enough material with with to showcase her talents this season, but Martin used her effortlessly and the scenes were magic.
While we didn't have the great chain that was so craftily created by Tyrion to stop Stannis' fleet of ships, the use of wildfire was just as effective, if not more so. The loss of only one ship in Joffrey's fleet gives them more to work with in the future, as well. I had always imagined the lobbing of fire from the wall to the water, but using the lone ship to deliver the inflammable liquid was ingenious. Was that something Martin wished he had written into the books, and got to do with a second chance?
Another thing I imagined was a lot more fire on land. No doubt only the smallest of flames would scare the hell out of someone already burned, but the fire seemed relatively easy to dodge on the show, whereas I imagined it igniting freely upon men as they stumbled onto land and therefore scaring The Hound into retreat. Perhaps I just didn't recognize the enormity of his terror.
The chanting of Halfman was reality and it stunned our little hero, Tyrion, to rush into battle. Many times he admitted how little he knew of battle and with as quickly as he was taken down there was little question of his skill. But he did know how to motivate. The speech was a bit more impressive on screen, but like everything else about "Blackwater," it worked.
Frankly, I think it would have been a great episode on which to end Game of Thrones Season 2. It would have left a lot of open questions, or they could have answered them first, and saved the battle for last.
Of those who hadn't read the books, who wouldn't be waiting on the edge of their seat wondering whether or not Tyrion makes it to next season? If we find out next week, we will have lost some of the momentum built up by the actions of our halfman hero. For those of us who did, it's already known, but the series isn't about us, is it?

Well,as an obsessive reader of the books& watcher of the show,I have to say I feel torn about some inconsistencies b/w the books &the show.But I know for the sake of theatrics they had to take some artistic licsence;that being said:I thought "Blackwater" was a FANTASTIC episode,&agree that it would've been a great season finale; HOWEVER--I AM still interested in Robb,Jon Snow,Bran &Rickon,Arya,&of course,Dany-who couldn't be? She's phenomenal to watch. And the ending w/Sam cowering from the White Walkers-OMFG!! can't wait till next season!!
@richard3: I liked the way the Hound's voice broke when he said that the river was on fire. I think they did enough lead up to explain what was going on in his head without the addition of dialogue.
Love your approach to the show through the lens of the novel! Wonderful idea for a blog, wish I had thought that! I agree with you on a lot of the points you make and the episode felt very Martin to me. I actually write a weekly blog about the show and combine book and show analysis, if you want to check it out here is the link: http://www.notsodaily.com/2012...
@Carissa: I think of it from two perspectives... 1. Do they really want Peter to sit for extensive makeup / CGI effects every time he's on screen. 2. It's pretty gross in the books and this is a sexy HBO show you know... I do wonder if they'll do something where his wound starts out worse and eventually heals...just to give some due diligence to the impact the injury has on him.
@richard3 Well, it's a pretty good guess the scar won't amount to much because his nose was most definitely in tact as the credits rolled. To be a half man with half a nose just added to his pain and humiliation. I think you are right in guessing it will be emotional pain that will be explored. Thankfully, we have Dinklage to do the exploring - it's in good hands!
@semtex: I wouldn't be surprised to see them downplay the physical scars and how they effect Tyrion and instead play up the emotional ones (getting all the blame and none of the recognition for the battle, his father, and the rest that happen in book 3).
con... - No stumble? I guess Tyrion's height is supposed to account for the sword not going completely through his head, but as I recall, in the books he sort of tumbles backward out of killing range, which makes more sense than the knight just not getting in a good swing when they are standing facing each other. Maybe they tried different scenarios and they just didn't look good on film.
I thought the episode was really good, especially considering what they were attempting to do justice to. There were a couple things I thought could have been better explained: - The Hound leaving because of his fear of fire. I think it was clear he was afraid of fire, but the depiction just didn't seem enough for him to turn and run. He could have at least emoted it in some way like, "F*ck the King. I won't burn for you." or some such nonsense, just to clear it up. - Tyrion's attacker. The kingsguard just aren't as apparent in their armor as in the books and with no dialog re-establishing who he was (just Tyrion's look) I think it was a bit vague.
Yes, it'll be interesting where they leave the season off... - Will they show if Tyrion survived? How far will they go with his injury? (My guess is not very...maybe an across the cheek scar) - Will they even get into the Tyrell / Lannister thing? - Where will they leave off with Robb? Will it be the wedding? I thought originally they would include the battle, his injury, and her helping him (and then "helping" him...) but that never materialized, and that his ending would be him returning to camp with a wife and everyone being "oh crap..."
I hope Tyrion gets a little more serious wound than a little scar on the cheek since it affects him later on.

Located on Rockville Pike, just outside of Washington, D.C., North Bethesda Market II (NOBE II) is a 970,000-square-foot mixed-use development with retail, office, and nearly 350 residential units. Designed by Studios Architecture for developer the JBG Cos., NOBE II is anchored at the northwest corner by a residential tower; the southern and eastern edges of the site are lined by lower retail and office volumes. A central plaza can play host to farmers markets, musical performances, and other entertainment. "I think there's the desire to really engage in more than just a retail experience," says David Burns, a principal in Studios' New York office, and instead be "a real center to the community." The stepped southern face of the residential tower "takes the building and tips it back, so that from the plaza, the sky really opens up," Burns says. The curtainwall, which is composed of several modules of varying depths, allows for deep balconies and exposure to natural light for each unit. The complex should open in 2014.

After being in business for more than 75 years, a Rochester diner closed its doors for good on Wednesday. Al's Stand, a fixture in northwest Rochester since 1936, has served its final customer. YNN's Mike Hedeen caught up with some regulars during the restaurant's last lunch hour.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- There was a large crowd for lunch at Al's Stand Wednesday. Since it was the last day of business for the local diner, there was no guarantee that all customers would be served.
"The plan today is to cook until we're out of food but stay open for anybody that wants to come down and just say goodbye to Al's," said Joe Lucchese, Al's Stand.
For more than 75 years, Al's has been a fixture in the area around Jefferson High School. But those running the restaurant say it's been difficult to keep it going.
"I have a lawsuit with a family member… We've been fighting a battle for a couple of years now and I just can't continue to fight the battle," said Lucchese.
According to a family attorney, the lawsuit is over who is the rightful owner of the restaurant.
Back in the day, Al's was a hangout for Jefferson High School students. Many of them would come there during their lunch hour. And they were back on the final day of business remembering those good old days.
Like Frank and Guane Umbrino. They were back for one last time, sitting in the same booth where they met and became high school sweethearts and then husband and wife.
"I looked at her and said 'that's the girl I'm going to marry' and that's true. And I did, 44 years ago," said Frank Umbrino, an Al's customer.
"And 44 years, we're still together," said Guane Umbrino.
They've been regulars ever since the day they met and have fond memories of Al's.
"The good times, the friends, it's not the same," said Guane.
Most customers had similar feelings, saying they're glad they were able to pay one final visit.
"Really sad, but it was a fun place to come to when we were in high school, a fun place. We'd listen to the music, no arguing or fighting. Then we'd go back to class and our studying then come over after school for Cokes," said Mary Ellen Martin, an Al's customer.
"I feel horrible. I feel like I'm letting all these people that are here down," said Lucchese.
