Cthulhu 1.0
Distributed as a single Live DVD ISO image
The project is available for download via our website or from its homepage as a single, dual-arch Live DVD ISO image or approximately 1.5GB in size, designed to support both 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set architectures.
Boot options
While the Live DVD is designed to boot the live environment in 10 seconds from the moment it is inserted in the CD-ROM or USB port, the user can access the boot menu by pressing any keyboard key during that timeout.
Default boot options include the ability to start the live session with default settings or in compatibiliy mode, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing operating system from the first disk drive.
Openbox never looked so good
The desktop environment is so minimalistic and beautifully designed that you won't even dare to touch it. However, to access the main menu and launch applications you must right click anywhere on the desktop. Be aware that there's no taskbar, so the only way for you to interact with running apps is to use the traditional ALT+Tab keyboard shorcut.
Includes a powerful suite of applications
Default applications include the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browser, Skype VoIP client, Irssi IRC client, Deluge torrent downloader, FileZilla file transfer client, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, LibreOffice office suite, Pluma text editor, VLC Media Player and Clementine audio player.
In addition, the LXTerminal terminal emulator, Guvcview webcam viewer, Audacity audio editor, LMMS digital audio workstation, Brasero CD/DVD burning software, Viewnior image viewer, GIMP image editor, and Evince document viewer are also included.
Bottom line
Cthulhu's main goal is to become the most stable, flexible and aesthetic Openbox distribution on the Internet. Therefore, if you're looking of an Openbox edition of Linux Mint, we strongly recommend to download and try Cthulhu today.

An elderly man accused of causing the death of his roommate at a Tonawanda assisted living facility was arraigned this morning on a first degree manslaughter charge. YNN's Kaitlyn Lionti was in State Supreme Court and tells us more about the case.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- An unusual sight in State Supreme Court Wednesday, as 87-year-old Chester Rusek was wheeled into the courtroom in a wheelchair, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, to answer a manslaughter charge.
The Erie County District Attorney's office says Rusek beat his roommate, 86-year-old Salvatore Trusello, severely with a heavy magnet at the Kenwell DePaul Assisted Living Center in the town of Tonawanda on November 26th.
After spending a month in intensive care, Trusello died December 27th.
"It's a sad case for the victim, it's a sad case for my client. There are no winners in this case," said Barry Dolgoff, Rusek's Attorney.
Wednesday, Dolgoff entered a not guilty plea on Rusek's behalf, and says he thinks the case will go before a jury.
"But no matter which way they decide, it's sad that elderly people are taken to this level and being housed does this to people. And anybody that's housed this way would react differently, and out of the realm of what everybody else considers normal," said Dolgoff.
The prosecutor says Rusek made several admissions to investigators about what he did.
Rusek's attorney says his client has no criminal history, and is just an elderly man the system abandoned.
Rusek is currently in custody at the Erie County Holding Center. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.

Charlease Cohen enjoyed working in the health care field before deciding to complete a college degree. She held positions as a certified nursing assistant and medical technologist. When unexpectedly laid off from a job she loved, she took time to rethink her direction.
"I wanted to create a better life and career for myself," she says. "I was always curious about patient charts, medical coding, and how doctors' offices and hospitals kept up with all the patients and appointments. I wanted to become the person responsible for doing this job."
She began a new phase of life at Brown Mackie College — Greenville. Charlease excelled in her classes and graduated as an honor roll student in 2012, earning an Associate of Applied Science degree in Health Care Administration. She joined the staff at Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. in Greenville, South Carolina as a Patient Care Coordinator.
Charlease's busy days include managing the office, scheduling appointments, sending and receiving paperwork, uploading information to patient charts, and answering phones. "I enjoy using the knowledge I gained in college on a daily basis," she says. "It's good to be part of a great team and to be appreciated for who I am and for the quality of my work."
She credits Brown Mackie College — Greenville not only for her academic work, but also for her interview preparedness, work ethic, and the experience she gained during her time in a shadow program at an assisted living facility. "It all helped me tremendously," she says.
Charlease sees her work as a great opportunity to meet and help people from all walks of life, and to gain further knowledge on how the administrative side of health care works. She plans to return to Brown Mackie College — Greenville for her bachelor degree. "I wanted to achieve a better future at Brown Mackie College — Greenville," she says. "I definitely made the right decision."

FUBU Founder, 'Shark Tank' Star Talks Business
A few years ago, the unusual occurrence of a Manatee in the Memphis area caused great local buzz and attention. The salt water giant found his way into the waters of the Mighty Mississippi and into the hearts of Memphians as they tracked his movements. Well, in similar fashion we recently had another giant of the sea, a "Shark", (not the aquatic variety), visit our fair city to much fanfare and accolade. Daymond John, a fashion industry pioneer, is founder of the FUBU clothing line and star of the ABC reality show "Shark Tank," which features a team of wealthy and successful investors (the Sharks) being pitched by up-and-coming entrepreneurs to invest in their fledging business ventures.

There is much corruption when it comes to procurement. Probably the industry with the most corruption is construction.

Definitions for tbilisitə bəˈli si, -ˈbɪl ə-
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word tbilisi
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Tbi•li•sitə bəˈli si, -ˈbɪl ə-(n.)
the capital of the Georgian Republic, in the SE part, on the Kura. 1,194,000.
Category: Geography (places)
Ref: Formerly, Tiflis.
Princeton's WordNet
Tbilisi, Tiflis, capital of Georgia(noun)
the capital and largest city of Georgia on the Kura river
The capital city of Georgia (the country).
The government of Georgia.
Tbilisi and it was officially known as Tpilisi (in Georgian) or Tiflis (in Russian) until 1936. The city covers an area of 726 km² (280 sq mi) and has 1,480,000 inhabitants. Founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the monarch of Georgia's precursor Kingdom of Iberia, Tbilisi has served, with various intervals, as Georgia's capital for nearly 1500 years and represents a significant industrial, social, and cultural center of the country. Located on the southeastern edge of Europe, Tbilisi's proximity to lucrative east-west trade routes often made the city a point of contention between various rival empires throughout history and the city's location to this day ensures its position as an important transit route for global energy and trade projects. Tbilisi's varied history is reflected in its architecture, which is a mix of medieval, classical, and Soviet structures. Historically, Tbilisi has been home to peoples of diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though it is now overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian. Notable tourist destinations include cathedrals like Sameba and Sioni, classical Freedom Square and Rustaveli Avenue, medieval Narikala Fortress, pseudo-Moorish Opera Theater, and the Georgian National Museum.

8 Ways to Rekindle a Friendship
Get back in touch with your favorite friends whove drifted away
By Alina Dizik
3. Send a Handwritten Card
A note in the mail can be a welcome surprise for a friend you haven't spoken to in a while. And there's no need to wait until a holiday for an excuse to send it; a "just because" card can restart your relationship anytime, says Shari Goldsmith, a women's life coach and mental health therapist in Cincinnati. In your note, "don't come on too strong," she cautions. "Women are busy and don't want to feel that the friendship comes with too many strings attached." So avoid mentioning the past or specific dates when you're available to meet up. Instead, leave the message open-ended, explaining that you're available for lunch or drinks in the next couple of weeks, she says. And remind her of the best way to contact you.

Listen to this brief answer given by Dr. J. Vernon McGee, the late famed pastor and founder of "Thru the Bible Radio," to a young woman who asks, in effect, "What's wrong with Calvinism?"
Listen to this brief answer given by Dr. J. Vernon McGee, the late famed pastor and founder of "Thru the Bible Radio," to a young woman who asks, in effect, "What's wrong with Calvinism?"
Thanks so much for that amazing video..I had not heard that from McGee, What a wonderful, clear, logical explanation of the lie of Calvinism, even with a touch of McGee's humor.
I pray all of our friends and readers will watch and listen.
In Christ, Jack
Had the opportunity to know J. Vernon McGee personally. He obtained his B.D. (M.Div.) from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA. Where he was taught Presbyterian Calvinism. He then obtained his TH.M. and TH>D. from Dallas. Before accepting the Pastorate at the Church of the Open Door in LA, he Pastored a Presbyterian church in Pasadena, CA. He was no stranger to Calvinism/Reformed theology. He gave an invitation every Sunday Morning at COD. The people who responded were asked to go to the back of the auditorium where they were met by a counselor.
He had lunch regularly with Charles Fuller. When Fuller seminary had rumors of rejection of certain doctrines in the 1960s McGee wrote letters to certain faculty with questions. He states he got vague answers. So he made up a sheet with clear questions and a place to check yes or no as to the person's belief. He received no response. He asked Charles Fuller regarding the rumors several times. Charles Fuller finally said; "Vernon, if we are to remain friends do not bring up the subject of the Seminary."
The above was conveyed to me in 1976. McGee was at the Cannon Beach conference grounds in Oregon. We had early morning coffee together each day and a two hour conversation each day. He had personal convictions regarding many controversial subjects. He was against the then rising New Evangelicalism. However some Fundamentalist types thought McGee too lenient on some subjects. He was a good and spiritual man who provided good teaching and an example to young preachers on how to teach the Bible verse by verse. While had humor woven in much he did he was not an entertainer. Today some teachers are over the line in entertainment and family and other stories. It reduces the effect that the word of God should have in bringing conviction.
Bob Topartzer
Hi Bob,
Nice to have you join our discussion again. Thanks so much for giving us that insightful background on J. Vernon McGee's early Reformed affiliation. This helps us to understand that he certainly knew of what he spoke when he, in later years, spoke out against Calvinism. You were privileged to know McGee personally.
Thanks again for the information.
I appreciate Bob's personal memories of J. Vernon McGee. I once listened daily to McGee's Thru the Bible Radio and still peruse his 5 volume commentary. On Lordship Salvation I heard McGee once say, "You had better make Jesus Lord of your life, but you had better receive Him as Savior first!"
Years later during an ordination counsel of a young pastor, the LS issue came up. One of the men on the counsel was defending LS. After taking exception to LS I repeated the quote from McGee above. The man defending LS shouted, "NO!"
Thanks for this article.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Back in the 80's Dr. Vernon McGee was one of teachers I listened to when i first got saved? I loved the way he made what ever topic he taught on so clear! Line by line Scripture teaching ! So to hear this really brought back memories! Good ones thank The Lord. He could not have made it any clearer . " Free Will !" Who so ever will! We are not Zombies! I'm going back and listen to some more!
Thanks again
Terry, it was fun to see the different people come up with old quotes. "The Saints and the Aint's", or I remember something like, "This is where the rubber meets the road".
I haven't listened to him in awhile, but have some old cassettes too. I can actually hear him say that,"We're talking shoe leather folks!"
Now you turned around and gave me a chuckle with the current event reference to Watergate.
I can imagine how some of his idioms must have given the translators fits. Thanks for the story, never even thought about how that must have been for them. Wonder how it turned out in some languages :)

Let's Get Moving
David Spero
July 5, 2007
What if there was a drug that lowered insulin resistance and blood glucose, reduced pain, made you happier, raised your energy level, helped you sleep, improved bowel function, and promoted weight loss? Would you pay $1000 a month for it?
Well you can't, because there is no such drug. The only thing that will give you all those benefits is physical activity. (We're not going to use that nasty "e" word in this blog entry.) Activity doesn't cost $1K; most of the time it doesn't cost anything at all. Yet people don't do it. Why not? More importantly, how can we get ourselves to start taking more of this wonder drug?
Most of us face serious barriers to physical activity. We may live in places where walking is dangerous or impossible. We may work jobs that leave us exhausted without making us move our bodies. Travel, work, school, religious worship, even most entertainment is done sitting down.
Some of us don't particularly like to move. This may stem from a genetic tendency to conserve energy, and/or a long community history of working very hard and not having much to eat. Our society creates all kinds of excuses to avoid activity. Kids used to play basketball; now they play video basketball. Developers build suburbs without sidewalks or crosswalks, so you have to drive. Some office buildings lock stairways, forcing people to take elevators instead.
Enjoying Movement
Make it fun. Do something you enjoy. It might be a sport, walking a dog, playing with children, splashing around in the water, or any movement you happen to like. How about dancing? That's a great way to meet people, move your body, and have some fun. So what if you haven't done it in years? It's never too late.
If you walk, you can walk somewhere beautiful or interesting, like a park. Window-shopping or mall-walking can be a good way to move, kind of like going to a museum without an admission charge.
Make it social. Most people find it easier to move if they do it with other people. You can join a group or a gym or just recruit a friend, relative or neighbor to walk or work out with. Perhaps you could start a group at your church or your job. The family that plays together stays together!
Start slow and build up slowly. If you jump into too much action, too fast, you'll wind up sore, tired, and fed up with the whole thing. Start slowly and build up slowly—baby steps will get you there quicker.
Make it convenient. If you have to drive 20 miles to the gym, you're going to stay home most days. The best activities are the easiest: taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or running in the neighborhood, stretching before you get out of bed. Even housework can be a good way to get active.
Make it comfortable and safe. Get comfortable shoes for walking or dancing. If you're riding a bike, you can buy wider seats if the one it came with is too narrow. (Learn more about different types of bike seats here.) Check your feet after walking or running to make sure there are no sores. Massage your feet with lotion and maybe take a nice bath or shower to reward yourself for working out.
Check your blood glucose—activity can lower it, sometimes too much. Check your blood glucose level before you start an activity and after so you don't overdo it. Be aware that blood glucose levels can continue to drop for hours after exercise, as muscles rebuild their glucose supplies.

Weeding out? - page 2
It seem's like everyone is always telling me which semester is the "weeding out" semester. And everyone has a different opinion of which that is. So, I'm curious to know what the masses think. IS there a weeding out semester? ... Read More
- 1Dec 7, '12 by Skips, BSN, RNQuote from wantccuYou know what, I've been thinking that way, too. When will it be really difficult like everybody says it is?! I haven't been struggling. I'm wondering when it gets crazy hard.That's good to hear. I'm just finishing up my first semester of clinicals and honestly, it hasn't been all that bad. Yes, there's a lot of material and time consuming for sure. I've just heard these horror stories and am in classes with people who are retaking because they failed last semester - and I don't get it yet. I guess I'm just scared that there's going to be a point where the hammer drops and it suddenly doesn't come easily to me anymore. (I don't want to say easy, I'm working for it - just that I'm not struggling with the material like a lot of my classmates)
- 0Dec 7, '12 by CardiacKittyRNIn my program, 2nd semester seemed to be the "weeding out" semester. The classes are Med-Surg I and Pharmacology... but because of the way our cohort's schedule fell, we had to take it during the 8 week summer semester instead of the usual 16 week semester. With two tough classes and a 12 hour clinical day each week, it was difficult. We lost 10 people and over half of the class was borderline passing at the time of finals.
First & third semester were both easy to me. OB/Peds is up next and shouldn't be to bad, but we are taking Critical Care over the summer and I think it might be another difficult semester, especially to take in the 8 week semester :/
- 0Dec 7, '12 by HH_RN13For us it was the third semester. Every group of students in 3rd semester loses almost half of the students. There hasn't been a single a in that med surg course in the past 5 years probably. It is unreasonably difficult. I was a straight a student in my program and I barely made a b.
- 1Dec 7, '12 by OB-nurse2013Personally I think that should come when choosing from applicants and after that students should be encouraged to succeed. Anyhow, my program I would say from Junior year on is pretty difficult and gets increasingly difficult until you are done. We have not lost many.
- 0Dec 7, '12 by AutumnLeavesRNFor my program the weeding out semester is first and second semesters. We started out with 60 and we are graduating with 34. So that says alot about this program. It's sad they do that but that's how they do it. In all actuality some of the ones weeded out would make awesome nurses and the ones who stayed are good students as far as grades but know diddly as far as clinical. Its a risk programs take to keep their NCLEX scores up I believe.
- 3Dec 7, '12 by nguyency77I am just going to relax, do my work, and tune out horror stories when I start nursing school in January. What is difficult for one person may not be difficult for another. I find that if I go into something with a negative attitude, it usually turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- 2Dec 7, '12 by princesstl121Quote from nguyency77that is definitely the way to go. I went into nursing school prepared to work hard and I'm doing fine. it's all about your attitude. have fun in nursing school!!!I am just going to relax, do my work, and tune out horror stories when I start nursing school in January. What is difficult for one person may not be difficult for another. I find that if I go into something with a negative attitude, it usually turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- 0Dec 7, '12 by dkmamato3Quote from kaydensmomso you started with 80 and are down to 18 .. that is crazyThe third semester!! Yes 1 and 2 were hard but nothing like the third. We started with 80 and lost 20 in the first 10 in the second and 32 in the third, all but 2 were due to grades. They said that only one or 2 will fail the final semester. We kept thinking that it wouldn't get harder, but it certainly did. In no way was per-Reqs like weeding out in nursing program in my experience.
- 0Dec 7, '12 by akulahawkRN, ASN, RN, EMT-PIn my case, I just hit my "weeding out" point. I was in 3rd Semester at my school and failed clinical on my last day for the semester. I did very well in 1st, had a rough patch in OB and MedSurg during 2nd, got those issues worked out, then did well in 3rd up until the MedSurg rotation. I had some nagging issues that just kept me on my instructor's radar for the whole time. Not that there was any actual patient care problems, but certainly a couple of issues that needed more work to correct than we had the time to this semester. I will finish the process a much stronger nurse and far more ready to go to work when I graduate.
At my program, weeding happens in all semesters. I believe that I'm the only one that got weeded clinically this semester, though we may get a couple from academics in a week or so, when the semester ends.
- 0Dec 8, '12 by Butterfliesnroses3rd quarter at my school was known as the weeding out quarter. Mainly because of pharmacology. I passed pharm without difficulty and really struggled with the supposed easiest quarter, summer. I struggled bc I really like to read on information over and over and let it sink in. during the summer we only had a wk per unit which made it rough on me. I almost didn't pass but I did, thank the lord.

Legislation Update
Calculating the Means Test Under the Coming Law
The coming new bankruptcy law will require that consumer debtors meet a means test before being eligible for chapter 7 relief. ABI Resident Scholar Jeffrey Morris provides an explanation of the means test at ABI's special section on the bankruptcy bill. The summary and a list of external sources, including links to Census Bureau median income figures and Internal Revenue Service living-expense allowances, are available in the right-hand column of the bankruptcy bill news page.
Bipartisan Predatory Lending Measure Faces Dim Future
A bipartisan bill to protect consumers from predatory lending in the subprime mortgage market is gaining momentum in the House, but many stakeholders said the prospects for enacting it this year appear dim, CongressDaily reported. Lobbying sources said they expect several House Financial Services subcommittees to hold hearings this spring, but said it is too early to predict whether Financial Services Chairman Michael Oxley (R–Ohio) will move the bill through the full committee. They also note that Senate Banking Chairman Richard Shelby (R–Ala.) has not listed predatory lending legislation among the committee's priorities for the 109th Congress. "Barring some event, I don't think the [Banking Committee] will hold a hearing this year on predatory lending," one lobbyist said, the newswire reported. A spokeswoman for Shelby said the committee is "extremely busy with a number of other important issues," but added Shelby will "certainly be mindful of the legislation as it moves in the House." The bill, introduced last week by Financial Services Housing Subcommittee Chairman Bob Ney (R–Ohio) and Financial Services Capital Markets ranking member Paul Kanjorski (D–Pa.), would create uniform national standards that would pre-empt state predatory lending laws.
Minimums Due on Credit Cards Are on the Increase
A Wall Street Journal article reports that credit-card issuers are bumping up monthly minimum payments in response to regulators' concerns that liberal credit policies are hurting consumers. The article notes that MBNA Corp. said it plans to increase the required minimum monthly payments for new credit card accounts beginning in the third quarter, according to its 10-K filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Existing accounts will see an increase during the fourth quarter. Also, according to the Journal, in recent weeks Citigroup Inc. said it would change the minimum payments for its credit card accounts this year, while J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. notified some cardholders this year that it plans to boost minimum payments during the third quarter. Bank of America Corp. and Morgan Stanley's Discover card unit raised minimum payments on many of their cards last year. The moves by credit card issuers are in response to guidelines issued in 2003 by federal bank regulators, who expressed concerns that competitive pressures have led to an easing of minimum-payment requirements in order to keep cardholders' balances high, according to Barbara Grunkemeyer, deputy comptroller for credit risk at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which helped develop the guidelines, the paper reported. As a result, consumers increasingly were caught in a spiral of seeing balances increase, even while making on-time payments. Read the full article.

Elmhurst, New Yo...
In my quest of suitable party and performance dresses I decided to make my own. As I don't have a sewing machine here in US I decided to crochet my outfits.
I felt I need more than one so I came up with the idea of exchangeable bottoms, which are in same color scheme. 2 tops and 2 bottoms make 4 dresses.
I also decided to match it up with fitting jewelry and clutch bags with a decent length chains so I can dance with bag on me and yet have free hands.
These are materials I used…
8 50g balls of thread – "Cool Cotton" by Filatura Lanarota, 52% cotton, 48% acrylic
one pair of push up bra pads and metal circles
1 yd plastic bone (I would use metal bones next time)
50 metal rings for tying the corset
leather or fabric band
30 rings for attaching the bottom
2 mm crochet needle
thread: 9 balls of "Jewels" yearn by Karabella Yarns
6.50 mm crochet needle
30 rings to attach the bottom to the top
Clutch bag:
-1,5 balls of "Cool Cotton" by Filatura Lanarota yarn
-Lining in fitting color
-Self-adhesive fabrics
-metal chain
-2 crochet bands, 1 leather band length of chain
-2 pieces of plastic bone in length of zipper
-various metal parts for closure of bag and attachemnt of chain
-Different size pliers
-2 mm crochet needle

thank you! Actually I am turning 30 this year. lol. Definitely must be in shape for these type of cocktail dresses. Although, I think if the skirt part is "more proper", still a middle aged woman could wear this – corsets have been around for a couple hundreds of years.

Borderlands lacks the charm of Fallout 3, Mass Effect, or Half-Life 2, but it does offer a crap-ton of 'roided-out bandits, effed-up dog things, giant spider demons, and screeching pterodactyl beasts to shoot with a crap-ton of guns. And that's really what it's about – finding weapons and shooting things with them. You have to assign a skill point now and then, and there's kind of a story, but those things don't matter much. You can skip the text description of every quest in the game, because they will always consist of the following steps:
A. Go somewhere.
B. Kill some shit.
C. Flip a switch or something.
D. Kill some more shit.
E. Success!
It's a bit like an MMO in that respect. Quest-giving characters yammer like schizophrenic cassette players, barking out the same few lines every time you enter or exit their domicile, and vacantly assign you quests which you will not read the descriptions of. The bulk of the game is a combat grind, and everything else just exists to offer a modicum of structure. And if this all sounds horribly negative, keep reading – Borderlands is not a bad game, and for some, the heavy focus on combat and loot collecting will be a plus (it's not as if it hasn't been done before…talking to you, Diablo).
You're one of four vault hunters on the wasteland Pandora. Naturally, you're looking for "The Vault," a legendary location packed with alien technology and riches and stuff. Oh, and there's a grainy, scan-liney woman trying to help you find it. That's about it. This is all explained in a stylish and very cool cutscene at the start of the game.
Above: Sexy!
Above: Neat!
And then the excitement takes a hit as hard as the dog beast in the screen above. After the character selection and gameplay introduction are over, the once promising characters are reduced to a few catch phrases, your robotic guide quickly becomes annoying (and thankfully leaves you alone, mostly), and the devious Doctor Zed, who is introduced with great style, turns out to be a cardboard cutout (and so do the rest of the NPCs you'll meet).
Above: Cool!
Above: Text…
And what of the grainy, scan-liney woman?
Above: Cortana?
She just reappears throughout the game to let you know that you're playing it correctly. Which means befriending the locals by killing bandits and performing errands for them which also involve killing bandits (and sometimes dog beasts). The excitement level does ramp up again, but not thanks to any more examples of the style displayed in the first ten minutes of the game – it's a shame that such a cool feeling fades so quickly. After the opening, it's entirely the gun collecting and combat that make the game worthwhile, so we won't even mention the story again.
It's all about the guns: combat rifles, machine guns, sub-machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, revolvers, pistols, rocket launchers, and many that can't be categorized or that we ought not to spoil. And of each type, there are multiple manufacturers, models, bonuses, and elemental modifications. Seriously, there are a lot of guns.
Above: Discovering a quality weapon stash is a very satisfying feeling
Your skill level in a certain weapon type will rise the more you use that type of weapon, and you can use any weapon with any character (though your character's skills are geared toward certain weapon types). All of the weapons have merits, and you're best off not constraining yourself to any one or two weapon types. You could try getting through the game purely with sniper rifles and pistols, but you'd probably get frustrated and pick up an SMG or shotgun eventually. But that's not a problem. As you progress through the game, you gain more inventory space and weapon slots, and you should have room for roughly one weapon of each type. Plus, you're pretty much forced to try new weapons, as you're very likely to run out of your favorites' ammo eventually.
Above: Choosing what to keep and what to toss is the most difficult decision in the game
Ammo is actually pretty plentiful. Everything drops ammo, and there are lockers and crates full of it. But when you do run out, it's a real bitch. Certain long firefights will definitely deplete your supplies, leaving you to search around for crates (while being shot at), or retreat to a vending machine to purchase more. This isn't a huge detractor, as these situations are only momentarily frustrating, but it will probably irk you at some point.
Above: Some weapons have been modified to deliver extra damage and effects, like this static shotgun
And weapons aren't the only loot. There are also shields, some of which offer special resistances and healing properties, grenade mods, which drastically change the way your grenades behave (bouncy, sticky, teleporting, health leeching…whatever you want, there's a mod for that), and class mods, which boost specific skills and introduce new ones. There's a lot of stuff to collect on the barren world of Pandora.
Borderlands' enemies are all variations on a few themes. For example: effed-up dog thing puppies, effed-up dog thing adults, effed-up dog things that spit acid, giant effed-up dog things, giant effed-up dog things that breathe fire, and so on. Alright, they're actually called skags, and you'll fight a ton of them, along with various form of bandit, psycho, Rakk (the aforementioned pterodactyl-beasts), antspiders, and more (spoiler: sentient aliens).
Above: Effed-up dog things…or "skags," if you like the name they chose better
Enemies always come in groups, and the attack strategies are pretty standard. Stay back and take out the group patiently with ranged weapons, or sprint in and decimate several enemies at a time with shotguns and SMGs. Try to score critical hits (headshots for most humans, any part of the body not armored for animals), use cover to allow your shields time to recharge, and utilize your character's special ability.
Above: A typical bandit, just before the head vaporizing
The ranged approach can be advantageous because the enemy AIs are sometimes a little busted. Animals will always chase you down. Certain bandits, however, are constrained to their areas, and won't leave for any reason. Instead, they'll just pace back and forth and spray bullets in your general direction. In that case, you'll have all the time you need to hide and recharge between volleys (though enemy shields do recharge over time, so keeping the pressure on is important).
Despite that and a few other nitpicky bugs, the AIs are pretty successful, and there's enough behavior variety to keep the fights interesting. Regular bandits stay back and take cover. Bruisers walk forward as if your bullets are made of rubber. Psychos sprint straight for you, clutching live grenades, lighting themselves on fire, or tossing axes in your direction. How fun for them.
Above: This guy doesn't look very scared of us
The game's difficulty is mostly self-regulating. If you're stuck on a mission or boss, you can keep at it over and over, and you'll eventually level up and have an easier time. There's very little penalty for dying – you're set back to the last "New-U" station you passed, and pay a fee. Recently-killed enemies stay dead, and quest objectives stay checked. All you have to do is get back to where you were and keep fighting. And you can always enlist the help of friends (or strangers). Four player co-op is really the game's shining moment.
Above: When your health is depleted, you're given a chance to revive yourself by scoring a kill from the ground
Most importantly, the combat is fun. Shotgunning, detonating, and knifing waves of 'roid-raging bandits, squashing skags in rocket launcher equipped buggies, bringing down absurdly massive bosses with bouncing grenades and rocket launchers – it's all enjoyable enough that the repetition is forgivable. But you must realize that this is all there is. It's wave after wave of the same enemies, then waves of slightly more difficult enemies, and so on. It's a bit of a grind, but grinding through a hostile wasteland with three friends can be a lot of fun. And it does feel nice to level up and discover new, more powerful weapons.
Above: With each level comes a skill point to assign to one of your character's specialties. If you regret your decisions, you can always reset your skill points for a fee
Borderlands is bold looking. It's not quite as bold as MadWorld, but it's prettier, and looks just as much like a playable comic book. You'll be pressed up against the scenery just to get a good look at the textures. It doesn't disappoint with the gore, either.
However - and it's not a huge "however," but it has to be said – the environments do feel samey. They all have certain distinguishing features, but after a while, they start to blend together into a mush of deteriorating shacks and rocky landscapes. Still, Pandora is a well-imagined wasteland, and is worthy of at least one long trip.
Above: The very first town you enter
Above: 22 levels later, and looking just a little similar
Halo 3: ODST? Signs point to yes. We swear we're not reviewing games with a Magic 8-Ball - this is just a challenging comparison. Borderlands is bigger, more complex, more diverse, and is generally a newer experience, but ODST is built on an established and already well-liked universe, whereas Borderlands' Mad Maxey, Tank Girlish planet and non-story become a little "meh" after a while. Though so do Halo's, depending on who you ask.
Fallout 3? Don't be ridiculous! …Though it might be nice to mash them up. A game with all the charming layers of Fallout 3 and the weapons and combat of Borderlands might work very well. But as it is, Borderlands is a game with excellent mechanics and not a lot of soul, so despite its entertaining combat, it's far from a challenger to Fallout's status.
Red Faction: Guerrilla? Maybe. They're both open-world shooters with vehicles, but they're immensely different. Red Faction is about gameplay variety, choice, action, and Borderlands… isn't the opposite of all that, but it's much more calculated and paced. Your missions in Borderlands are accomplished by going to a marker and killing some bandits, not crashing through buildings, rescuing hostages and then blowing some shit up just because it seems fun. It's difficult to say if one is definitively better than the other, so we'll just say that if you like instant gratification, pick up Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Individual Cheesecakes with Mixed-Berry Sauce
Bon Appétit | August 2003
Canyon Southwest Cafe, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Makes 6
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 2 cups ground vanilla wafer cookies or shortbread cookies (about 10 ounces)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2-pint baskets raspberries
- 2 1/2-pint baskets blueberries
- 6 tablespoons black raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord)
For cheesecake:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter six 1 1/4 cup custard cups. Toss ground cookies with melted butter in medium bowl to blend. Press 3 tablespoons cookie mixture evenly onto bottom of each prepared cup; reserve remaining cookie mixture.
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until fluffy, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, about 1 minute. Add eggs and yolks 1 at a time, blending well after each addition. Divide batter equally among custard cups. Sprinkle reserved cookie mixture evenly atop batter. Place cups in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of cups. Bake until cheesecakes are set in center, about 45 minutes. Remove cheesecakes from water bath. Cool completely. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
For sauce:
Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Mix in sugar. Add berries and stir until sugar dissolves and berries are heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in liqueur.
Cut around cheesecakes to loosen. Turn cheesecakes out onto plates. Pour warm berry sauce around cheesecakes.

Dodge was originally USRC Henry Dodge serving under the command of Capt. W. F. Rogers of the U.S. Revenue Marine.
She was seized by the State of Texas on 2 March 1861 and subsequently turned over to the Confederate Navy. Remaining in Roger's command, she assisted the Confederate Army in defending the Texas coast until December 1862 when she was officially transferred to the control of the Confederate Army's Quartermaster at Houston.
In 1864 Dodge passed into private hands and under the name Mary Sorley operated as a blockade runner. She was captured by USS Sciota off Galveston, Tex., on 4 April 1864 en route to Havana with a cargo of cotton.

|Anyone know how big this guy gets or how floriferous it is? I want to grow it as a garden rose. I hear it's an exhibition winner so I thought you guys might know about it. :)
Also, who sells the miniflora "Nemesis" shown in the Annual. Is that a yellow reverse? It's a beauty!
- HershiGrl
Follow-Up Postings:
|Just got two Dr. JD myself so I have no first hand growth knowledge, but in other AZ gardens I've seen mature plants in, it was reaching 3ft in height, with good bloom set.
'Nemesis' is a Robbie Tucker creation that I don't think will be coming out until late 2005 from Rosemania.....
- Posted by Phil_Schorr z6St.Louis (My Page) on Wed, Dec 15, 04 at 17:20
|I've heard some reports that it doesn't bloom all that much, but I haven't grown it myself so I can't say for sure.
- Posted by Suzanne_ladyred z10 So Cal (My Page) on Thu, Dec 16, 04 at 9:50
|Dr. John Dickman gets pretty big as a plant, has excellent form on the blooms, but is a pretty stingy bloomer. I wouldn't recommend it for a garden rose.
Nemesis will be released by Rosemania, I believe, sometime in 2005. That's all I know about that one.
|I've budded Dr. John Dickman to multiflora, and my plants looked like HT's by fall except the blooms were Mini-Flora
sized. I thought they bloomed pretty well, throwing some nice sprays also. I've had it in the court several times already, a really nice rose!
|This is an excellent miniflora but I agree with Suzanne a little stingy with blooms. But the blooms you do get are worth it. I posted a picture of this miniflora on the rose gallery.
|I have one of these plants; Just got it this winter. Nice foilage, we shall see how the blooms come out.
|Hi HershiGirl :~),
Regarding Mini-Flora, Dr. John Dickman, we won Mini Queen with it last weekend in San Diego and Princess last Fall at Armstrong.
This is one of my personal favorites, the color the stunning - mauve with a red edge...almost exotic. It holds its center quite well. So far we have found it refrigerates well too. We cut arms full last week....we are getting an abundance of blooms here in Vista.

|I got one from Bridges just a couple of weeks ago. Looks really healthy. Can't wait for blooms.
|I must say that my plant is doing much better planted in the garden than it did in a 5-gallon pot last year. The root ball didn't look especially large when I transplanted it. I wasn't going to give it primo garden space, but it's rebounding nicely so I will let it stay. For while.
|Dr. John Dickman won Mini-Flora Queen for us AGAIN today at the CCRS Spring Rose Show. Back to back weekends with big time huge competition. Needless to say, we love this rose.
Joe and Bren
|Wow! That's a great picture. What a beauty! Thanks everyone for your input.
- HershiGrl
|Queen photo from last weekend in Vista.....
|This was our Vase of 6 entry from this past weekend in Ventura. It did not take the trophy but a blue ribbon. But we won Mini Court of Honor with it.
|LadyBren, this rose has certainly done yomans work for you at the shows this spring..They seem to like that Vista, CA microclimate pretty good eh?
BTW, nice Mulan entry..Need to look up the parentage of this rose. I checked on my Color Magic bush after Ventura & observed that the foilage is definitley not the same as the Mulan you had..I guess that is good in that it is indeed a different rose.

A 22-year-old resident of St. Thomas charged with killing a Carnival cruise ship passenger last summer has been convicted of murder.
The Virgin Islands Daily News reports a local jury in St. Thomas Tuesday found Steve Tyson of the island's Smith Bay guilty on two counts of murder related to the much-publicized incident, which took place on July 12, 2010.
The cruiser, 14-year-old Liz Marie Perez Chaparro of Puerto Rico, was struck by a bullet as she and her family were leaving Coki Point beach, a popular tourist area, in an open-air safari taxi. News accounts at the time said she was the unintended victim of a gang-related shootout in the area.
RELATED: Cruise ship passenger killed during gang shootout
DISCUSS: How safe a cruise destination is St. Thomas?
Also killed during the incident was a local man, Shaheel Joseph, 18. He was shot in the back of the head and died in the street, according to the Daily News. Another cruise ship passenger sustained a minor injury during the shootout, the Associated Press reported at the time.
The killings turned a spotlight on growing violence in St. Thomas, one of the most visited cruise ports in the Caribbean. With a population of about 110,000, the U.S. Virgin Islands had a homicide rate in 2009 that was about 10 times the USA's national average of five killings per 100,000 people, USA TODAY reported at the time.
In addition to two counts of first degree murder, Tyson on Tuesday also was convicted of felony murder, first degree assault and reckless endangerment, and three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, according to the Daily News. He has yet to be sentenced.

London Stocks Close Flat
FTSE 100 ends a bumpy session flat at 5351.53, supported by some encouraging US data, in the form of May's University of Michigan index. At the same time, earlier worries about Spain's Catalonia region dissipate, somewhat, after the region said it would meet its financial requirements. "At least for now we've seen a week of overall gains for equity markets and the desperate panic selling has abated," says Capital Spreads. Nevertheless, as uncertainty about Greece and worries about Spain and its banking sector linger, all it will take is one unsavory euro-zone headline for investors to start hitting the sell button again, a trader says.
Frankfurt Stocks Close Slightly Higher
DAX closes 0.4% higher at 6339.94 after better-than-expected US consumer confidence data helped supports market sentiment. However, investors remain cautious after reports that Spain's Catalonia region asked the central government for help with its debt, traders say. As for stocks, Siemens finishes the session 2.3% higher after a brokerage upgrade and E.ON ends up 1.5% for the same reason. Monday is a public holiday in the US and Germany, but the stock markets in Germany will open.
Paris Stocks Close Slightly Higher
CAC-40 closes 0.3% higher at 3047.94, having fluctuated between gains and losses during the session. Data showing an increase in consumer confidence and lower rates on ten-year French bonds are offsetting continuing fears of a possible exit of Greece from the euro zone, says a Paris-based trader. Alcatel-Lucent shares continues to rise, closing up 4.5%, after the company announced its first core router product, while Carrefour gains 1.8% after it said Georges Plassat will take over as chairman and chief executive earlier than expected.
Amsterdam Stocks Close Slightly Higher
AEX closes 0.2% higher at 292.76 as markets are just able to squeeze out a gain at the end of the day following a better-than-expected reading from the University of Michigan consumer confidence index. Earlier, markets were under pressure due to worries over Spain's finances, which caused yields on Spanish government debt to moved higher. There is no noteworthy corporate news. Monday, businesses in the Netherlands will be closed for the Pentecost holiday, but financial markets will be open.
Zurich Stocks Close Marginally Higher
SMI closes 0.2% higher at 5865.19 after a session that saw "small ups and downs," following Thursday's light gains, a trader says, while concern on the fate of Greece in the euro zone persists. Financials are among the day's biggest losers, further hit by worries on the health of Spain's banking sector, with Credit Suisse and UBS down 1.4% and 0.9%, respectively. Cyclicals like Holcim and Adecco are also down, closing 0.6% and 0.9% lower. Syngenta drops 0.5% after the company announced it settled litigation in the US, while heavyweight defensives like Novartis and Nestle trade in the black with gains of 0.9% and 0.3%. Roche is up 0.3%. On Monday, the market will be closed for a public holiday.
Nordic Stocks Are Mixed By Mkt Close
Nordic equities are mixed by the close as uncertainty about Greece and its future in the euro zone keeps investors on edge. There is no shortage of negative newsflow to suppress sentiment, including reports of disappointing Greek budget revenue. Additionally, there are reports suggesting Spain's Catalonia region requested financial assistance from the central government. Robust German consumer confidence numbers are a bright spot. The Helsinki index is down 0.1%, whilst OMXN40 is up 0.2%, and OBX 0.1% higher. Meanwhile in individual stocks, Nordea is slightly down, falling 0.2% after a Moody's downgrade. But on the whole, a Moody's assessment of Sweden's four big banks is being taken as a sign of the resilience of the Nordic banking sector.
Milan Stocks Close Slightly Higher
FTSE Mib closes 0.4% higher at 13154, lifted by improving consumer sentiment data in the US. Even so, investors remain weary of taking large positions on fresh concerns over the state of Spain's finances. This comes after reports Friday afternoon that Spain's Catalonia region requested assistance from the central government. As for Italian stocks, bank shares recoup some of their recent losses with Intesa Sanpaolo up 0.8% and UniCredit 0.6% higher. And the construction sector gains on the US sentiment data, with Buzzi Unicem up 2.2% and Italcementi 1.1% higher. Trading volumes are low however, ahead of the long Memorial Day weekend holiday in the US. Monday, the early macroeconomic focus will be on Italy's May consumer confidence data coming at 0800 GMT.
Athens Stocks Close Sharply Lower
ASE ends down 3.5% at 485.18, reversing opening gains to end sharply lower. News that Greek budget revenue in the first few weeks of May dropped nearly 20% from last year's level due to the recession, adds to jitters. Meanwhile, the possibility of a Greek euro exit continues to weigh on investors' minds. "We think that the ramifications of a Greek exit are more serious than the market anticipates," says Morgan Stanley. "While a euro-zone break-up is not our base-case scenario, we raise our subjective probability to 35% from 25%, and reduce the time scale of this move to 12-18 months from five years," it adds. Next week, National Bank of Greece, Alpha Bank and Piraeus Bank will report 1Q earnings.
Prague Stocks Close Lower
PX closes down 1.1% at 869.6 led by Komercni Banka and Erste Group Bank, which are down 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively amid steady concerns over Greece. News that Spain's Catalonia region requested aid from its central government has also weighed on European markets Friday afternoon. Uncertainties over the Athens's future in the euro zone will likely continue to pressure the CEE region's stocks next week, traders say. NWR closes down 2.1% and Telefonica Czech up 0.6%.

Lewis, Fournier named Co-Captains of Halifax Mooseheads
Halifax Mooseheads Head Coach Dominique Ducharme named his Captains and Alternate Captains this afternoon for the upcoming season.
Stefan Fournier, a 20 year old forward from Dorval, Quebec and 19 year old Trey Lewis from Aldouane, New Brunwick will co-captain this year's Club. Lewis will assume the duties as Captain during home games for the first half of the season, while Fournier will Captain the Club on the road. The two will switch duties mid-season.
Fournier, acquired this summer from the Victoriaville Tigres, is a big rugged forward expected to play on a line with sophomores Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin. He recorded 32 goals, 33 assists and 96 penalty minutes in 64 games last season for the Tigres.
Lewis is entering his 3rd season in Halifax and will again be a mainstay on the blueline for the Herd. The feared defender recorded 20 points and 77 penalty minutes in 66 games last season.
Both Fournier and Lewis will assume duties as alternate captains when they are not wearing in the role of Captain.
Hunter River, PEI native Brent Andrews will serve as an Alternate Captain. Andrews is a solid two way forward who led the league in shorthanded goals last season and is entering his 4th year with the Mooseheads.
The third alternate captain will rotate on a game to game basis among the remaining roster.
The Mooseheads kick off their 19th season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Friday night against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in Sydney. They will play in PEI on Sunday afternoon against the Rocket before returning to the Metro Centre for their home opener Friday, September 28th at 7pm versus the Gatineau Olympiques.
