n CREALDÉ 2011-2012 Proposed EXHIBITION CALENDAR
January 17 – March 29, 2014 Grady Kimsey: The Mind's Eye
This one-person exhibition of paintings and sculptures will celebrate the work of one of Central Florida's most accomplished artists and most popular art educators. Grady Kimsey retired after a 25 year career as a professor of art at Seminole Community College, where he has literally inspired thousands of students, including some of Central Florida's most recognized young artists. His national exhibition record spans nearly six decades and his work is in the collection of some of Florida's top art museums, as well as the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C.
Henry Sinn, Crealdé's Director of Painting & Drawing, will curate this exhibition. Henry, who was a student of Kimsey's, reflects, "Grady Kimsey is an amazing artist. And an amazing teacher—he has taught me a lot over the years in a very subtle way, as he has taught so many students during his career. His interest in all of us was genuine, caring and intuitive. I met Grady in 1975 at Seminole Community College. I had only dabbled with art in high school. Grady was my first "real" art teacher. His biggest gift was to try and teach us about ourselves and how we looked at things through our own viewfinder and to trust what we saw… to embrace our deep down self and make art from our own deep place. Not someone else's place, but our own place, outside of trends or fads."
Come meet the artist at our opening reception at Crealdé's Alice & William Jenkins Gallery, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, January 17.
April 4 – June 29, 2014 One Place: Paul Kwilecki and Four Decades of Photographs from Decatur County, Georgia
Paul Kwilecki was born in Bainbridge, Georgia and died there in 2009. In between he raised a family, ran the family's hardware store, and taught himself to use a camera. During his decades of working on his opus—in his home terrain, Paul used different words to describe it –"my project," a "photographic journal" and, perhaps most often, "a document." "None of these rather simplistic words and descriptions communicate the nuance of his work; I know of no single body of work with a reach and resonance of what Paul accomplished in Decatur County," says Tom Rankin, curator and director of the Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. "While Paul ranks among the most important documentary photographers of the 20th century, he is also one of the least well known. In his own words, Paul Kwilecki says, "I don't make pictures to decorate walls; I make them to shed light in dark corners."
This exhibition of 48 framed silver prints spanning the artist's career is on loan from the CDS. Crealdé will display the collection in two locations, at the Alice & William Jenkins Gallery at Crealdé's main campus and at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center Visiting Exhibition Gallery in downtown Winter Park.
Opening night reception and gallery talk with Tom Rankin, Friday April 4, 2014, from 7 to 8:30 at the Jenkins Gallery followed by a blues performance and continued reception at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m.
July 11– October 25, 2014: 34th Annual Juried Student Exhibition
The exhibition features some of the year's best student work in painting, drawing, photography, ceramics and sculpture; juried and curated by Crealdé's department directors Rick Lang, Henry Sinn and Vincent Sansone and Executive Director Peter Schreyer. Opening reception coincides with the Annual Membership Meeting. Awards ceremony, 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. followed by a reception till 9:30 p.m. Friday, July 11, 2014.
November 7, 2014 – January 31, 2015: Visionary Bill Jenkins: Crealdé Founder, Artist and Philanthropist
As a kickoff to Crealdé's 40th Anniversary year, our organization remembers the vision and the artwork of our late founder William Sterling Jenkins (1910 to 1996) in a two gallery presentation. Trained as an artist in Europe and Mexico in the 1930's, he produced a beautiful body of landscape and portrait paintings of the places he travelled to as a young man, as well as the changing cultural landscape of his native American South. After serving in active duty during World War II, he worked for the Veteran's Hospital in Florida where he was inspired to create a rehabilitative art program for veterans. After moving to Winter Park, Florida in the late 1940's he founded Jenkins Construction and built many of the city's residential communities and shopping centers. In the midst of his business successes, he never lost sight of his dream to establish a community-based art school where individuals of all ages and background could come and study in a nurturing and inclusive environment with professional artists. In 1975 he fulfilled this vision and established Crealdé School of Art at its current location.
Opening reception, Friday, November 7, beginning with a panel discussion on the legacy of Crealdé's founder, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Jenkins Gallery followed by a continued reception with live music at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m.
January 11 – March 29, 2014
Director's Choice IV
This exhibition features the recent work of artists from Crealdé's diverse faculty, including artists long associated with the school as well as new additions to the faculty.
In conjunction with the Night of Fire,Crealdé's winteropen house, there will be an opening reception on Saturday, January 11 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. for Director's Choice IV. The exhibition features the recent work of nine artists who teach at Crealdé's satellite location in Winter Garden. The exhibiting faculty include: Beatrice Athanas, Patricia Byron, Prayong Deeying, Belinda Glennon, Cathy Hempel, Mark Lepow, Trish O'Donnell, Peter Schreyer, and Michael van Gelder.
In 2010 Crealdé School of Art entered a partnership with the City of Winter Garden, offering a series of classes for adults and children including ceramics, sculpture, photography, painting and drawing, at the Jessie Brock Community Center at 310 N. Dillard Street, located in the historic downtown area. The success of this program prompted the focus of this year's Director's Choice IV, which will be open through March 29, 2014.
The work in this exhibition was selected by the executive director and the school's artistic directors representing photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, and sculpture. For nearly four decades the Crealdé faculty of over 50 working artists have represented some of Central Florida's most influential arts educators and accomplished artists.

The Road to Memphis: Documentary Photography by Rick Lang
The last body of work produced by the late Rick Lang, Photography Department Director and longtime senior faculty member, will feature black and white images from his photographic exploration of western Tennessee and the Mississippi area around the city of Memphis. This documentary series of social landscapes, illustrating contemporary culture through everyday scenes of businesses and roadside signs, represents his 12th photographic exploration of the American South. Rick said of his approach, "I like to go down the road and describe though photographs what a town is about; to show many of those things we take for granted, before they slip away into extinction." This project is supported by a Professional Development Grant from United Arts of Central Florida. Opening reception will be held in conjunction with One Place in the adjoining Jenkins Gallery, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 4.

Art from the Heart of Florida
The two-location exhibition will be held in the Alice & William Jenkins Gallery at Crealdé's main campus and the Hannibal Square Heritage Center Visiting Exhibition Gallery in downtown Winter Park. The exhibition is inspired by the diversity of talented visual artists who call Central Florida home. There is a certain "Florida state of mind" that is reflective of the art produced in the center of the state. The skies are brighter here and there is a potent mix of identities that contrasts and combines old Florida with the bright sprawl that also forms a basis for our day to day life in the tourist corridor. The focus of the show is to highlight the work of local artists representing diverse interpretations and media, including sculpture, paintings and photography.
Positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, Central Florida is a meeting place of many contrasts: vast amusement parks and suburban sprawl contrasted against communities with rich, historic architecture and numerous unique ecosystems. It is a bridge between the sultry international mix and bright landscape that is South Florida and the more restrained, forested, small-town feel of the Northern part of the state. Curated by Executive Director Peter Schreyer and Director of Painting & Drawing Henry Sinn.
Opening night reception, Friday, September 20, from 7:00 to 8:30 at the Jenkins Gallery followed by a musical performance and continued reception at the Heritage Center from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m
January 24 to March 20, 2014
Purvis Young: Urban Expressionist
Miami resident Purvis Young, 1943-2010, was an African-American artist who commented on the state of his Overtown community through his artwork. Using plywood, cabinet doors andother debris, he created art that speaks about the present day lives of black people. His painted depictions of funerals, uprisings and cityscapes all cry out for a rebirth of wellness, while his painted books relay the African-American story that history made invisible through neglect.
Opening reception Friday, January 24, 7 to 9 p.m. at the Heritage Center, with a panel discussion from 6-7 p.m. at Mt. Moriah Church.
March 29, 2014

b. 1619 Amsterdam, The Netherlands, d. after 1676 Indonesia
Jan Victors was probably a student of Rembrandt van Rijn in the 1630s. He painted portraits, genre scenes, and historical subjects on both canvas and panel; but, like other pupils and followers of Rembrandt during the 1640s and early 1650s, Victors's body of work largely consists of biblical subjects on a grand scale. Despite Rembrandt's strong and obvious influence, Victors's style is crisper and more theatrical in gesture and staging than his master's. Voluminous drapery, rounded forms, monumental formats, and smooth execution with moderately soft light and rich colors are common in his paintings.
Victors's biblical scenes, often drawn from the Old Testament, frequently portray the theme of the constancy of the God of Israel. After 1650 Victors increasingly focused on street life: village peddlers, quacks, butchers, and craftsmen. Gradually, he incorporated influences from Pieter Lastman and Abraham Bloemaert, as well as Rembrandt's pupils Govaert Flinck and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout. After the mid-1650s, Victors slowly abandoned painting to become a ziekentrooster ("comforter of the sick") for the Dutch East India Company. He went to the East Indies after January 1676 and probably died there.

The cool, moist summers keep the grass growing, and with 24-hour daylight, we have excellent feed."
The beef animals are on pasture and no other feed when slaughtered. They are sold on the farm by live weight and processed by the buyer under the direction of farm personnel.

In Snowman's Land, Jurgen Rissmann stars as Walter, a rumpled slob of a hitman who gets in trouble with his boss when he accidentally kills the wrong man while on an assignment. As Walter's superiors decide what to do with him (they're already pondering getting rid of him as they're searching for better-looking gangsters to appeal to an upmarket clientele), one of his colleagues passes along a job offer he's unable to take, and Walter makes his way to a tiny, snowbound village in the Carpathian Mountains. He discovers he'll be working with his old pal Micky (Thomas Wodianka), who is outgoing and enthusiastic but not especially bright. Walter and Micky have been hired to act as guards and lookouts for Berger (Reiner Schone), a wealthy crime kingpin who wants to turn the village into a winter resort. As the two men wait to meet their new employer, they encounter his wife Sybille (Eva-Katrin Hermann), who has her own profitable underground business selling home-brewed pharmaceuticals; she's also -- judging by the private photos Walter and Micky discover -- something of a sexual prodigy. Micky foolishly tries to seduce Sybille, who enjoys using guns during foreplay, and before long Walter and Micky have to hide her body from their new boss. They also realize that what was supposed to be a cushy job is unusually stressful and dangerous, as Berger turns out to be high-strung and vengeful, his errand boy Kazik (Walera Kanischtscheff) has a scheme for taking over the business, and some of the locals decide they're not so happy with their rich neighbor.
Snowman's Land is a sterling example of what some folks call a "dark comedy," and it's also an admirably low-key, laconic thriller until things start to get lively in the third act. Writer/director Tomasz Thompson has an ear for dialogue that's quietly absurd, and he eagerly throws his characters into situations that manage to be harrowing and keenly funny at the same time. Thompson also served as the film's editor, and his pacing gives the picture an easy but insistent rhythm that suits the isolation of the characters; however, once things turn into a shooting match, he's able to ratchet up the action and shift into something resembling a traditional thriller without robbing the tale of its laughs. And Thompson's cast serve him very well indeed: Jurgen Rissmann underplays hilariously as cranky, parka-clad Walter, while Thomas Wodianka is his perfect compliment as the cheerful and maliciously dim-witted Micky. Reiner Schone is a self-satisfied grenade waiting to go off as Berger, and if Eva-Katrin Hermann doesn't get asked to do anything but seem sexy and unstable as Sybille, she does both very well. Add Ralf M. Mendle's superb, atmospheric camera work and Luke Lalonde's fine score and you get a comedy with a dark but richly satisfying style all its own, as well as proof that Germans know how to be funny -- just as long as you don't mind them scaring you a bit along the way. leave a comment --Mark Deming

Christmas Wrapped: Time to let go and enjoy the holidays
My final contribution to Target's Christmas Wrapped site implores everyone to forget the last-minute Christmas cramming. It's time to let go and enjoy the holidays.
This post was inspired by a wonderful, heartbreaking conversation I had with a long-distance relative yesterday -- her 14 year-old daughter is suffering from the effects of Lyme Disease. It was painfully clear to me just how much connection and gratitude trump fantasies of Christmas "perfection."
Here's to happy, healthy holidays and safe travels for us all.

La Luz honors ESL Students
Posted By Sun News On January 3, 2013 @ 10:18 am In News | Comments Disabled
Pride, empowerment and a few tears marked a ceremony for the 46 students who completed English as Second Language (ESL) classes from La Luz Center. "It was truly a family-community celebration," said Maricarmen Reyes-Larios, who oversees the program, in which classes are held at three locations. "The students were very happy, they were filled with pride." Students take the classes for better jobs, to help their children with homework, to take a more active role in their community, and to set an example for their families, Reyes-Larios said. Classes are augmented by volunteers, who come to practice conversation and provide individual help. Local ESL classes had been eliminated when Sonoma Valley Adult School lost its funding last year, but La Luz, backed by a grant from the Todd Trust, rescued the program. The cost is $25 per student per semester. The registration date for the spring semester is January 8. For more information call 938.5131.

BlogsDNA has recently posted a guide on how to solve the issue of hard drive partitions not showing up in the latest Windows 7 beta. For those with dual-boot or multiple OS configurations, this will restore access to XP, Vista, or other partitions for file transferring and other useful purposes.
Basically, all that needs to be done is the assignment of a drive letter for the XP/Vista/other OS partition. To do this, open the Start menu in Windows 7 and type in "diskmgmt.msc" which will open the Disk Management Interface, and assign a drive letter to the unrecognized partition.

Collaboration Protocol Profile (CPP):
A CPP provides all necessary information how a particular trading partner intends to do electronic business. A CPP defines following attributes of a trading partner:
A CPP is stored in ebXML registry with a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)and business partners can find each other's CPP through registry.
The information within the CPP is available to be searched on, so a potential Trading Partner can determine whether the organization has the capabilities to do business.
Structure of a CPP
CPP defines namespaces on its root element and and a version to distinguish any subsequent changes. The structure of a CPP consists of a root CollaborationProtocolProfile element with following elements:
Trading Partner Agreement (TPA):
A trading partner agreement (TPA) is a contract defining both the legal terms and conditions and the technical specifications for both partners in the trading relationship. A CPA is derived from CPP's of trading partners.
The rules specified by the electronic TPA are independent of the business processes at either party. A technical description of the terms and conditions from the TPA is expressed in an XML document, which configures each IT systems to operate under the agreement rules.
TPA properties include its name, partner names, starting and ending dates, roles, and other parameters. Typically, one party generates a CPA and offers it to the other party for approval. Once both sides have reached agreement, they each take an electronic copy of the same CPA and use it to configure their systems.
The CPA may also be added to the registry for reference, but this is not a standard requirement.

Amazing. Ambitious. Avant-garde.
These are reactions that The Saboteur, in concept alone, first inspires. When we heard about the free-roaming 1940s Paris setting, we dared to dream of an open-world epic with class and style in place of the usual crime and sex. When we learned that the storyline would revolve around the French underground resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II, we hoped for a deep moral narrative with real historical significance. When we witnessed the unique visuals, which paint terrorized parts of the city in depressing grayscale and liberated sections in bright, eye-dazzling color, we immediately thought of cinematic classics like Schindler's List.
Could The Saboteur be our gaming equivalent? Could this end up a serious, substantive masterpiece with themes of life, death, freedom and war?
Above: The main menu
Above: The opening shot of the opening cutscene
Right. So clearly, The Saboteur is aiming a bit lower than our lofty-minded expectations. This is still a videogame, with a videogame mentality – babes, guns, cars, explosions, macho men and salty swear words are still the number one priority. Schindler's List loses out to Inglourious Basterds. Once you've accepted this fact, however, you can have a helluva lot of fun wallowing into that exploitative gratuitousness.
For example, would a "serious masterpiece" start you off in a nightclub / brothel / safehouse, surrounded by half-naked women and drunken Nazis?
Or make blasting Titanic-sized zeppelins out of the sky with a rocket launcher one of your most common pastimes?
Or give you a garage full of free, infinite-supply, nitro-fueled racecars less than halfway through the adventure?
Or faithfully recreate the Eiffel Tower simply so you can climb to the top and base jump for an Achievement / Trophy?
The Saboteur's gameplay is over-the-top to be sure, but in a really satisfying, really entertaining way. And while the story, characters and setting never reach that transcendent level we first imagined, they do get surprisingly close when you consider all the silliness that surrounds them.
Take the game's version of Paris, for example. It doesn't feel anywhere near as deep, detailed and layered as GTA IV's Liberty City, but what it does feel is very much alive. Old men walk down cobbled hills with canes and hats. Couples kiss passionately on street corners. Merchants wave newspapers while artists paint miniature landscapes. Soothing, era-appropriate (if not era-recorded) jazz music streams gently out of every car radio. Birds fly. Clouds move.
Of course, those are the freed areas. Move into Nazi-controlled neighborhoods and the shift in atmosphere is stunning. Rain inevitably begins to pour, streaming down statues and pooling on the ground. Barb wire, spotlights, sniper towers and artillery turrets surround you… smother you. Germans are absolutely everywhere, often rounding up innocent citizens for impromptu executions (which you can stop if you're quick enough). Most obvious is the selective draining of color, which reduces the world to stark blacks, whites and greys, but leaves some thematic elements – like the warm yellow of an apartment window, the searing red of a Third Reich flag or the life-affirming blue of a Resistance armband – intact.
The dramatic difference between these two sides of Paris is a remarkable motivator. Even if The Saboteur had no story, you'd desperately want to fight just to see the city restored. You'd want to protect the people, too, who gratefully gossip about your exploits, politely look the other way when you snap a Nazi's neck and earnestly shout "Merci!" when you come to their rescue. We experienced honest-to-goodness guilt whenever we accidentally ran one over with our car, which is a new – and welcome – feeling for an open-world game.
Another nice change to the open-world formula is The Saboteur's cast of characters. For once in this genre, you're not playing an up-and-coming gangster with a slippery sense of morality and a social network of lowlife friends, crooked cops and greedy businessmen. Instead, you're Sean Devlin, a rough-spoken yet soft-hearted Irishman whose only goals in the game are to execute / explode Nazis and to defend his loved ones' safety at any cost. He doesn't work for money or power, and though he begins the story motivated solely by revenge and personal loss, he ends as a selfless freedom fighter.
Above: See? They go to church and everything
Just because Sean and his allies are noble, however, doesn't mean their missions are boring. When an elderly woman asks you to halt a German book burning underneath the Arc de Triomphe, she doesn't send you with a bucket of water; she demands that you bury a bullet in the supervising general's head. When a revolutionary sends you to rescue a political prisoner, the plan involves hijacking a zeppelin, brawling across the rooftops of Notre Dame Cathedral and blasting the Führer's finest off their sidecar motorcycles as you escape in the back of a stolen, gun-mounted truck. Indiana Jones would be proud.
Unfortunately, we must end this section of our review with a major, all-caps WARNING. If you're the type of gamer who notices – and is bothered by – bad foreign accents, The Saboteur might very well drive you insane. We were impressed by the acting and the dialogue overall, but listening to a mostly British cast struggle to emulate Irish, French, German and Spanish will definitely prove too grating for some.
The phrase above borders on cliche. The phrase above has been leveled at GTA and GTA clones for nearly a decade now. Yet the phrase above so perfectly summarizes The Saboteur's gameplay – both good and bad – that we can think of no other way to begin discussing it.
Here's a list of everything Sean Devlin can do:
• Shoot Nazis with the usual arsenal of pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles and rocket launchers.
• Sneak up behind Nazis, breaking their neck or pounding the back of their head for an instant stealth kill.
• Disguise himself in various Nazi uniforms in order to access restricted areas and avoid confrontation.
• Hide, or blend, into safe spots when the Nazi alarm has been triggered.
• Climb buildings, run across rooftops and zipline between towers.
• Plant timed explosives in order to sabotage Nazi installations spread across the city: tanks, artillery, radar stations, etc.
• Hijack, then use your garage to collect, any car you see on the street, including Nazi jeeps and motorcycles.
• Race competitively through Paris and the surrounding French countryside.
So that's Grand Theft Auto, Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, Hitman and maybe even a little Red Faction: Guerrilla… all rolled into one game. In theory? Awesome. In reality? Where a single design team can only do so much with so much money and so much time? Well… still pretty cool, but not as awesome as you're probably imagining.
The Saboteur's biggest flaw is that it tries to do too much and, as a result, ends up doing too little. The game borrows the best ideas from the best competitors, but then fails to execute them as masterfully. The shooting is not as fun as GTA's… Sean can't lock on to his targets, or easily aim for specific body parts, while the blood is cartoony and the weapons lack oomph. The stealth is not as effective as Splinter Cell's… once in disguise, you literally just hold down the "walk like a Nazi" button and move carefully around annoyingly sensitive alert radiuses. The climbing is not as intuitive as Assassin's Creed's… you have to hit the same button over and over again to move upwards, and Sean's jumping animation is laughable. Finally, the explosives are not as satisfying as something like Red Faction's… you can destroy specific targets on the map, but the environment as a whole is not destructible in any way.
Perhaps these comparisons are unfair, but when a game like this is so clearly inspired by others, they're hard not to make while playing. Each of the described activities is certainly implemented well enough to be entertaining enough; we just wish the design team had limited their ambition and focused on perfecting a few less.
Something The Saboteur does better than the majority of its competition, though, is provide you with choice. Games are constantly promising that players can tackle missions from any angle, and in any manner, but here is one that actually delivers. Of course, you may only discover this truth by dying in frustration so many times that you try a completely different strategy out of sheer desperation… but it's a truth nonetheless.
Above: That's one option…
Remember that book-burning general, for example? He's surrounded by security, but otherwise out in the open. The first time we completed the mission, we stole a Nazi uniform , crept carefully past every guard, planted a bomb on the general's tank and then triggered the explosion once we'd snuck back out. The second time, we simply sniped his head off from the street. Later, when the game asked us to destroy a base full of radar stations, we originally – and secretly – planted sabotage bombs on every building, running away and returning when things got too hot. It took an hour. Then we reloaded and hijacked a nearby artillery gun instead; it reduced the base to rubble in mere seconds.
Above: Here's another
The Saboteur isn't always clear with mission instructions, which can be frustrating, but this is why. You make up your own instructions.
Like any open-world game, The Saboteur also gives you plenty of side stuff to tackle between story missions. There's a perk system that rewards you for hitting certain milestones (like running over 20 Nazis with a vehicle) or encourages you to attempt new daredevilry (like assassinating 5 Nazi generals while in disguise). Succeed and you'll receive extra cars, extra weapons, extra gadgets and extra skills. Our favorite is the "touch of death."
There are also bonus "freeplay" objectives – enemy installations that can be destroyed at any time – scattered everywhere across the map. Driving to your safehouse and notice a propaganda speaker? Jump out, plant a bomb and drive away. Snatching a sniper's uniform in the middle of a larger, more important mission? Set a charge on his tower's ladder on the way down and – bam – you've taken care of another one.
Blowing these things up is addictive as hell… at least until you realize the sheer, overwhelming, ridiculously stupid number of them.
Above: Yup, all of those white dots are "freeplay" objectives. And that's not even the whole map!
In spite of the game's many obvious shortcomings, we couldn't help loving – or at least really, really liking – The Saboteur. The story is well-told and well-paced enough to make up for its predictability. The characters are admirable and lovable enough to forgive their awful accents. The style and setting are beautiful enough to hide the lack of depth. The gameplay is diverse and exciting enough to hide the lack of polish.
Still, you can't finish The Saboteur without wondering if this is what developer Pandemic really intended their finished product to be. Throughout the game, we noticed sloppy glitches such as Sean's head popping through a car roof, or a Nazi general randomly exploding after we walked by him. Seemingly important characters are introduced, then abandoned by the main story. The protagonist's mysterious background is repeatedly mentioned, but never fully explored. The Achievement / Trophy for beating the game is called "The Legend Begins." Heartbreaking.
If Pandemic hadn't been closed by EA last month, would they have been given more time to transform The Saboteur into something amazing? Or given the chance to make an amazing sequel? We'll never know. As far as swan songs go, though, The Saboteur is a high note.
Okay, we can't end the review without touching on this already infamous DLC. If you buy The Saboteur new, you'll find a code inside that unlocks topless women and a secret underground club filled with more topless women, as well as burlesque shows, a knife-throwing minigame, the chance to win a bonus car and the even greater chance to see Sean get drunk and pass out.
If you buy the game used or borrow from a friend, however, you'll have to pay an additional $3 on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network to unlock the Midnight Show content. Are one car, one minigame and some extra breasts worth three bucks? We can't decide that for you, but we can provide a video of the underground club to show exactly what you'll be downloading / missing.
GTA IV? No. We did enjoy playing an unequivocally good guy in an open-world game for once, and murdering stereotypically evil Nazis is much more satisfying than slaughtering random, stereotypically ethnic gangsters. Liberty City dwarfs The Saboteur's Paris in size, depth and detail, however, and GTA IV is – without a doubt – the more refined and fully realized game.
Assassin's Creed II? No. Both games recreate a past time and a specific place, but the developers of Assassin's Creed II obviously did a ton more research. Their virtual Italy feels like a real place, starring real historical figures and supported by real historical footnotes. The Saboteur opts for a fun, yet super silly, fantasy version of WWII France instead. Plus, the climbing isn't nearly as intuitive.
Mercenaries 2? Yes. Pandemic Studios developed this sandbox game, too, and the play style is noticeably similar as a result. We preferred The Saboteur's bright urban landscape and innovative visual style to Mercenaries 2's sprawling wilderness and gritty "xtreme"ness, but then again, the latter's got boats and helicopters. Oh, and lots of bugs. Yeah, we'll go with The Saboteur... it may not be polished enough, but it's definitely more polished than its predecessor.
The Saboteur is a charming mess. Yes, the unpolished gameplay can be frustrating and, yes, the storytelling can be silly. But as soon as we drove through the gorgeously stylized Paris – then jumped out of our nitro-fueled racecar to snap a unsuspecting Nazi's neck – we didn't care anymore. For us, the good overwhelmed the bad.

Is there any polishing agent I can get to clean it up. The screen is very dangerous in the night when raining.
Write down the engine block vin number, chassis number,make and year of manufacture. Send to the company via email.
As long as it fits in the wheel arch. Check your ins policy sometime a spec change from the manufacturers affects your insurance.
First check temp sensor on the engine. Seems it is shorting giving the computer a faulty reading. If it is connected the sensor could be damaged. The hard start when cold is because the computer is reading the 'hot' and not allowing the cold start to function.
If you r doing it as a friend, a cup of coffee and lunch. If you r doing it as a mechanic then be careful. There r alot of things to consider. Insurance is the main thing.
The problem is the master cylinder. Assuming the front is disc then your peddle pressure will remain constant with a little more travel as the rear shoes wear down. Have the master cylinder replaced.
Does it have manual or automatic free wheeling hubs.is the 4wd selector a lever or button. If a button then check the fuse.
White smoke or black? White smoke means engine rings worn. Black injectors need service and while ur at it calibrate injector pump
Check the splines on the wiper arm. If that is ok the link bush on the motor to wiper spindle is worn or loose. Do both wiper arms move in unison

The debt ceiling drama under way right now in Washington — or, more specifically, the dramatic inability of Republicans and Democrats to reach compromise and the cheerleading of many who don't want them to — is the latest testament to an odd phenomenon in American politics. It goes by a couple of different names: increasing partisanship, political polarization, the disappearing center. And political scientists don't have a single winning theory to explain it.
"This political polarization is something that's fascinated me as a political scientist quite a bit because it's so strange," said Philipp Rehm, an assistant professor of political science at Ohio State University. "All the theories we have suggest that actually if you have a two-party system, what the parties should be doing is converging; they should be chasing the middle, the decisive swing voter. And in the U.S., the trend has been just the opposite. It's sort of a huge embarrassment for many of the theories that we have."
In the U.S., the parties — and a divided population — have been moving ideologically further apart. Theorists have variously examined gerrymandering, the media, political elites and the historic political realignment of the South.
To this list, Rehm wants to add something he calls "risk inequality."
Income inequality in America has been growing for several decades, but so too has the gap in how risk is distributed along the income scale. In this context, risk basically means the likelihood that you think you might lose your job (as measured by the unemployment rate of a particular occupation). Historically, the workforce has included people with low-paying jobs but high job security (think unionized custodial workers), and people with decent-paying jobs but low job security (maybe high-end construction contractors).
These people, Rehm explains, make up the political center, because their interests are "cross-pressured." Higher income people are more likely to vote Republican (and lower-income people Democratic). But if you're worried you might lose your high-paying job, then you may support the party that believes in income redistribution and a strong social safety net. And if you've got great job security — even if you don't make much — then you may be less inclined to support social programs that won't benefit you.
According to Rehm's research, this "cross-pressured" group has been disappearing over the past four decades. Increasingly, most of us are now either low-income/high-risk (line-order cooks and groundskeepers), or high-income/low-risk (bank managers and lawyers): either "natural" Democrats or "natural" Republicans. [class name="dont_print_this"][/class]
The underlying reasons for why this has happened have more to do with the labor market than with politics. The economy has essentially aligned risk with income, so that if you don't have much of the latter, you probably have a lot of the former, and vice versa.
"Four decades ago, knowing the size of someone's paycheck would not tell a great deal about someone's exposure to unemployment," Rehm wrote in the book Laid off, Laid Low: Political and Economic Consequences of Employment Insecurity. "Nowadays, knowing one characteristic allows for a very good guess about the other."
He has a few hypotheses for why the economy no longer supports the type of employment that previously created large numbers of "cross-pressured" voters. There's been a dramatic decline in unionization over the past several decades. And many jobs that once offered decent salaries to workers without extensive education have now been mechanized or moved overseas.
"I don't think we can just blame the elites," Rehm said of one common explanation for political polarization. "I think there's actually something going on in the labor market that is really, really important. … If we don't look at this, we miss a big, big story. We miss a big picture of what's going on with partisanship."
It's easy to think of examples that don't fit Rehm's model. The first that comes to mind is the group he regularly presents this research to: tenured political science professors with high income, high job security and a high likelihood of voting Democratic. Another is the population in Thomas Frank's best-selling book What's the Matter with Kansas? which attempted to understand why low-income, high-risk blue-collar Kansans (whom Rehm's theory suggests would be natural Democrats) largely vote Republican.
"The sushi-eating, Volvo-driving East Coast liberal is the exception," Rehm said. "These exceptions are pretty famous — Thomas Frank made them super famous. But Thomas Frank is on average wrong."
Based on a large-scale representative analysis of all types of occupations, all across the country, across many years, Rehm says his theory holds up in the big picture (social science, he adds, is terrible at making predictions on the individual level given the idiosyncrasies that motivate each of us once we step into a voting booth). Of course some people are single-issue voters or values voters. But Rehm has identified broad trends in the polarization of risk and the role that may play in our voting preferences — and the current recession suggests the trend will only worsen.
Among those hardest hit by the economic crisis have been people Rehm calls the "doubly unlucky" — the low-income, high-risk people. They're also among the least likely to vote and be represented in Washington.
"In the long run, according to my theory," Rehm says, "what's going to happen is the poor are going to be [even worse off], and the rich are going to be even better off. And that enlarges the gulf between the groups and will make social policy compromise even harder."

Thursday is the final day for prospective voters to cast ballots early.
In Bradley County, three early voting sites have been just as busy with more than 20,000 votes cast.
Bradley County Elections officials said 1,682 voted Tuesday, bringing the total to 20,550 early and absentee votes collected to date.
With one day left to vote early in person in Tennessee, turnout exceeded 1.1 million voters statewide. With 95 counties reporting, a total of 108,994 voters cast their ballots earlier this week, bringing the overall turnout to 1,108,056 voters, according to the state's website.
"We have had a successful early voting period," said Secretary of State Tre Hargett.
Early voting sites include the Bradley County Election Commission Office, Bradley Square Mall in the conference center between Kay Jewelers and JCPenney, and the mobile voting venue in the parking lot of Bi-Lo Store No. 343, on McGrady Drive.
Tuesday was the deadline for absentee ballots to be requested from the Elections Offices.
Fran Green, Bradley County Elections administrator, said the ballots must be returned to the Elections Office by the regular Election Day, Nov. 6.
Election workers will be available at all polling places to provide instructions on how to properly operate the voting machines and an official Tennessee Identification card is required.
Redistricting included portions of Bradley County in the 10th District, where a Senate vote is upcoming. Also, part of Bradley County is now in the 4th Congressional District.
Voters who have questions regarding any part of the voting process should ask for guidance from elections workers, according to Green.
Candidates for the upcoming election are: Tennessee House of Representatives District 22, Eric Watson (R) and Jonathon Gladden (D); Tennessee Senate District 10, Andre McGary (D) and Todd Gardenhire (R); U.S. House of Representatives, 3rd Congressional District, Chuck Fleischmann (R) and Dr. Mary Headrick (D); U.S. House of Representatives, 4th Congressional District, Eric Stewart (D) and Dr. Scott DesJarlais (R); U.S. Senate, Bob Corker (R) and Mark E. Clayton (D); and U.S. President, Barack Obama (D) and Mitt Romney (R). Obama's vice-presidential running mate is incumbent Joseph Biden and Romney's running mate is Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.
Early voting will cease Thursday at 6 p.m. and Election Day is Nov. 6. Polls will open in Bradley County at 8 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
Anyone with questions regarding absentee balloting, Voter ID, redistricting or any other issue can contact the Bradley County Elections Office at 728-7115.

Last weekend, on the first nice days of spring, what police call "multiple offender incidents" returned to bedevil pedestrians on North Michigan Avenue.
Police arrested three adults and 25 juveniles in a crackdown on so-called wildings, which involved some 400 young people.
We wouldn't want to overreact, but it's an undeniable fact that a safe and thriving downtown area is vital to our city's economic well-being. Crime of any kind there — even the perception of crime — cannot be tolerated.
As a remedy, Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) has proposed that different parts of town — say, a half square mile on the Near North Side — be allowed to raise money to put more real Chicago cops on their streets and sidewalks. The extra cops, though paid from private funds, would do the same work as all other officers and answer solely to their police superiors, not to the businesses or residents who raise the money.
"The idea is that we can take off-duty cops who would otherwise be out moonlighting on a construction site or at home on the couch, and put them back on the street in uniform with their badges and guns to provide a supplemental layer of support above and beyond the beat officers," Reilly said.
If Chicago goes this route, it should do so only temporarily. We're uncomfortable with the idea that some parts of town, simply because they have more money, might get more protection from the Chicago Police, which effectively is what will happen. Better to hire more cops for the whole city.
As a practical matter, though, Chicago is in no position to hire more full-time officers anytime soon — and summer is coming on.
It is essential that City Hall keep the Loop and Michigan Avenue — and those summer playgrounds like Grant Park, the museum campus and Millennium Park — safe and welcoming.
Not just for the conventioneers and tourists. But for all of us, too.

The House Formerly Known As 3301 Waverly Drive
21 Apr
It was only after I made the cross continental move to Los Angeles, Calif. did I actually begin to fully recognize the historical and cultural significance this town has on contemporary society.
The famous HOLLYWOOD sign can be seen from the rooftop of my apartment building. Members of famous rock bands grew up down the street from me. I've seen different celebrities wandering around my neighborhood and it's not unusual to spot filming crews for TV shows, commercials and movies.
Even though this place is my home now, I still haven't really gotten around to visiting any of the traditional tourist attractions– I have yet to go to any of the museums, Grauman's Chinese Theater, Disneyland or Griffith Park Observatory.
However, I have visited the house where Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were stabbed to death by members of Charles Manson's followers, later called "The Manson Family", in August of 1969.
Yes, I do know that this is more than a bit morbid.
I read "Helter Skelter", the story of the Manson case by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, the summer after my freshman year of college. I have since kept a close eye on the story, still following the lives of the people who were involved. There's no other true-crime case that intrigues me as much as the Manson story. I decided that needed to go to these places where this history actually happened–the Tate-LaBianca houses, two of Los Angeles' most famous haunted houses.
Street artist Banksy's stencil of Charles Manson in a prison suit, hitchhiking to anywhere. Archway, London.
The house on Cielo Drive, where pregnant Sharon Tate and her dinner guests were massacred by The Manson Family, a crime that was committed 40 years ago last August, was torn down sometime in the 1990s. Another house, later called "The McMansion" was raised in it's place.
But, the LaBianca house still stands. Renovated since the murders, the driveway is located in a different place in the yard and a heavy gate stands between the house and the rest of Waverly Drive. It also has a different address to keep away the curious.
And it's located 10 minutes from my apartment in my neighborhood of Los Feliz.
Phil and I drove up the long, winding road looking for the house and immediately recognized it from the old black and white photos. Though I have read that people have occupied the house since the murders, I was still shocked to see that there were cars parked in driveway.
I parked Phil's Ford Escape across the narrow street, just kitty corner from the LaBianca house. Phil waited in the car while I hopped out to take some photos.
The homeowners had padlocked the looming red gate with a strong silver chain. I noticed that no other house on the street had comparable security.
I loitered for a bit in front of the house and snapped a few photos. After standing there for a few minutes, I started to feel uncomfortable. We didn't stay for very long.
The LaBianca house now
The address on LaBianca house was changed from 3301 to 3311 Waverly Drive.
Soon, I'd also like to go check out The Spahn Movie Ranch, the movie set where Manson and his cult lived during the late 60s.
There's actually a "Helter Skelter" tour that takes people to the relevant locations, but it's $50 per person and a 3.25 hour commitment. That might be a little bit much for me.

Political chatter from DC and NYC, the amNewYork way
How do you control or limit Freedom of Speech?
By Dontre L. Conerly
As a journalist, social activist, and all-around big mouth, I am for Freedom of Speech believe me! However, I have been conflicted of late as to whether or not there should be controls on it, given its sometimes-hateful nature and ability to incite anger. Ann Coulter and Bill OReilly immediately come to mind when I think of the controls that should be placed on what someone says or prints in the public sphere. I can recall Coulter making the assertion that former President Clinton is gay; and on a different occasion, alleging that wives of men who died in the World Trade Center were simply lining their pockets from the media attention they sought. Both statements that incite. OReilly, with his interminable flow of stupidity, walked into my community (a mere four blocks from my house) and was surprised to find the world-famous Sylvias restaurant was just like any other, despite the fact that it is black-owned and operated.
Now, there are those who think that anything someone feels whether its true or not is free to be released into the public, and that its the responsibility of the interlocuter to accept it or not, or to be angered. Not only do I not subscribe to that, I think it unfairly targets the audience and makes them responsible for someone elses stupidity. The obvious question here is: how do you control or limit Freedom of Speech? As offense is relative to each individual, its hard to gauge whether or not something is in bad taste. So, what are we to do?
Surely, we cant do focus groups and random sample surveys every time we have an inclining that something is controversial; but, I think that a good set of friends and/or a nice call to a respected elder would help clear this up.
At least, it does for me.
Today, the New York Post ran a cartoon drawing of two cops having shot a chimp. Obviously playing on the recent news story of a chimp that mauled a woman and was shot after attempting to attack an officer in his cruiser, the drawing goes into the
obscene (and wholly unacceptable) when a text bubble from the shooting officer reads: Theyll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill. Undoubtedly, the officer (and the artist) is referring to President Obama, our African-American president who won the fight on Capitol Hill to have his stimulus bill passed.Given the injustices that this mans predecessors and community had to overcome including being likened as monkeys and being called as such not only is this drawing offensive and obscene, it should never have made it to print. I wont delude myself into thinking that intelligent people (and this is questionable he draws for the New York Post) should know better, as my great-grandmother used to castigate us when we did something that was blatantly stupid, but I do think that someone in his friend group, or one of his editorial superiors should have recognized that not only would this offend Mr. Obamas supporters, it would offend the black community.
Clearly, no one at this paper or in association with Sean Delonas who saw this cartoon has any scruples about offending that community or the president of the United States.
This type of press is what bothers me about the broad freedom that is given by our Constitution. Yes, we can argue that limits are arbitrary and the no one person should tell another what to say and how to say it, but just as drawings of religious deities in socially controversial situations angers their followers and slinging feces at the Virgin Mary angers her followers, there is a line of tact that should be drawn in the sand of everyones character that reveals these types of paintings, drawings, and art as offensive and inappropriate.
I wont buy any excuse given by the artist, as any adult should not only be aware of the treatment of black Americans in this country (it is AMERICAN history, after all!), but anyone likening the president to a monkey should think twice about what message he is sending; especially when that president is black.

Sears to have about 1,700 Sears, Kmart stores in operation going into 2015
On a company blog post, Sears CEO Eddie Lampert said: "At our most recent Town Hall meeting with our associates, I explained that I want us to operate our stores both profitably and with excellence. Both, not just one or the other.This is the background behind our decision to close more than 200 Kmart and Sears stores in 2014. Most of these stores were losing money, some for a long time. Because of the impact on our dedicated associates and our Shop Your Way members, these decisions were not taken lightly, or without our working to improve the performance of these stores over many years. Going into 2015, we will have approximately 1,700 Sears and Kmart big box stores in operation, representing about 200 million square feet of space."

Ive hit em inside off a mat. They seemed to me more solid than anything else I hit.1400.00 is bit steep though, and not sure how Ping justifies the price. If I could get a set tossed my way for free, they would most likely be the ones in my bag.

2012 PING Anser Irons: All you need to know
For the complete write up on GolfWRX's trip to PING HQ, click here.
by BJackson
Having arranged plans to travel to Phoenix, I was fully expecting to see the successors to PING's S56 irons. It seemed a natural fit as October marks 2 years since the S56 release and with rumors surrounding an 'S55', well…turns out I was dead wrong. While at PING headquarters, Wyatt (SheriffBooth), Greg (pga43), and myself were able to get a preview of the forthcoming Anser line. Boy were we surprised!
Initial impressions are simple - S56 meets i20, but forged. It's a slimmed down version of the previous Anser iron. Personally I have gamed S56s, i20s, and currently have 712 AP2s. These new Anser irons remind me exactly what I've been looking for – they remind me exactly of Titleist's AP2s. I know that many complaints surrounding the previous Anser irons involved them being too large, too much offset, etc. Well trust me when I say that PING addressed those complaints. They have soft lines, low offset (just barely more than S56, less than i20), and a crisp feeling at impact and going through the turf. Forged from 8620 steel, with some tungsten in the sole, the feeling at impact made me think of a cross between i20 and a typical forged blade. Very solid. It comes in a brushed satin finish, come stock with your choice of PING CFS or Project X shafts – but get this – can be ordered with ANY shaft offered through PING WRX at no upcharge, save Project X PXi. That's right, ANY SHAFT upgrade, as offered by PING WRX (they have a rather large selection), except PXi, free of charge. Pretty cool, eh?
As for performance, I had limited time with them. Just a little warm up in the morning before hitting drivers and the game of 'WRX' Wyatt and I played against Marty Jertson. I did enjoy my time with them at PING's range, but would really benefit from more time with them to give a fair review. Let me say I find them very intriguing, very similar to my AP2s, and a set I really, really want to try out. I think this is a set of clubs that will get plenty of positive feedback from those that use them. An overall balanced, stylish, performance based set of irons that provide the best of everything possible from a technological and aesthetic perspective. Multi-material, high MOI, stabilization bars that help flight the irons so long irons fly higher and short irons fly lower. These clubs are really the complete package and I only wish I had more time to test them out side by side with something I'm more familiar with to get a baseline comparison.
That all said, here is what you boys want, pictures! Included at the bottom are comparison shots with the previous generation Ansers.
- Launch the ball higher with the long irons and lower with the short irons for precise, consistent shot making
- 8620 steel body combines with a dense tungsten weight and hollow sole to optimize the CG and elevate MOI
- Predictable ball flights are achieved through progressive stabilizing bar technology
- Bars angle out wider and are thinner, lowering the CG to launch the ball high in the long irons
- Bars get vertical and thicker through the shorter irons to bring the ball in lower and more penetrating with high spin

Played those for the last 6 round, got them with px6.0. So far they seem more forgiving than ap2 but the feeling is as good, I loved the weight of the clubs.
The reason the Pings are $1400 is because they say "Ping" and or "Anser" on them. If they were stamped "Wilson Staff" they would be $700 bucks. If they were stamped "Wishon" you could get them custom spec'd with KBS C Taper, Nippon Modus, or Dynamic Gold Tour Issue for $700. Just the way it is.
Good lookin' sticks, for sure.
I just hit them side by side vs. Ping anser 2011 version and 712 ap2. Anser both had project x 6.0 and ap2 had Greg xp r300. In a work, answers superior in every way. Now difference between answers, very close call. I like the color scheme of 2011 but like then look at address of the new anser.
I was all exited to order my new anser irons today expecting no shaft upcharge after reading this, but to my surprise there is an upcharge for everything including Dynamic Golds and even a grip upcharge for GP tour velvets. KBS C Tapers cost me an extra 21.00 a club. Big retailers ars charging 30-35.00 per club for the C taper upcharge, I ordered mine through a local pro shop. They felt amazing though, but at at almost 1,800 after shaft upcharge, grip upcharge and tax I'm starting to second guess my decision. Hopefully I'll forget all that once they are in my bag.
Releasing next week at my local shop. Ping rep is there. I cannot wait to see these. Could be pulling the trigger!
Well I have 2 sets of Anser irons 1 for show and 1 for play and just by looking at the new anser irons I know I must have a set because I do love my pressent set of anser irons
Very curious to read some feedback on whoever gets a hold of these first.
they remind me of the adams cb2 moreso than the a4. i love the feel, playability and forgiveness of my cb2s. so much so, that i truly believe they are the next "classic" iron. i wonder how they compare to these ansers.
I'm also curious. The author mentioned that these clubs "remind me of the AP2′s." Then why not save $500 and just go with the AP2′s? What puts these clubs ahead of the AP2?
So are they going to be less forgiving than the prior anser irons? I actually enjoyed a forged forgiving iron. I hope they are as good as last years.
Why are they so expensive? $1400????!!!!! What makes them $1400? The author says "they remind me of my AP2′s." Why would someone buy these over the AP2′s and save around $500? Not disputing the writeup just trying to understand what these clubs are all about.
One question…..when.
I can't believe this, I wanted ping, I wanted forged, but the current Anser irons were a little big for my taste so I went with the S56. As I do LOVE them, i miss that unique forged feel and now even though I just dropped a wad of $$$ for my S56 not even 2 months ago, Im going to have to figure out how to get my hands on these. I need to stop visiting GolfWRX.
Reminds me of Adams A4 tech with the stabilizing bars. Still, I am in the market for new clubs and I like 'em!
I bought the S56 irons late last year and have enjoyed playing them. If PIng have made any improvement in them this can only be a good thing.
An impressive looking iron!
Wow They are smaller then the previous ANSER and I love the report of no up charge for shafts excpt PXi which I can't swing anyway. P.S I love my ANSER stix.
So what's the word on the release of an S55 iron?
I was told by my local pro that Ping are consolidating their range of irons. The new G25 has features that are a blend of the G and I series. The next I series will be a blended design with fetures of the I and S series. The next Anser will then become the new tour blade design pitched at the low to no handicapper market. The K series will be discontinued. Bottom line they will be reducing their options from 5 models to 3. That seems to be trend in the industry. Even TM & Callaway have limited their 2013 releases to 2 models

Hi Dr. Lam,
I have had this mole above my upper lip ever since I could remember. However, I accidentally scratched it when I was in fifth grade (I am 25 now), and it has gotten bigger, maybe twice its original size. It is now around 5mm in diameter. I asked my dermatologist about removing it, and he suggested the shave excision procedure. Although I was told I wouldn't get a scar, I am still terrified of the idea. I have attached a picture, and your opinion would mean a lot. Thank you
