20 Great Hitting Tips
By HittingWorld.com
Product Code:
Hitting Tips
Hitting with two strikes can be difficult. If you choke up you will be able to control the bat better and strike out less. Good hitters choke up with two strikes.
Staying Inside the ball means to keep the bat as close to the body for as long as possible. This will help you have more bat speed and hit the ball harder.
In order to hit with more power, try using your legs better. Power hitters roll up onto their back toe at contact. This will help you to use all the power in your legs and hit the ball harder and further more consistently.
Being in a proper, balanced stance is vital. While every hitters stance may vary, generally try to stand with your feet shoulder width apart with your hands held comfortably around your back shoulder.
Getting into a strong position of power is vital in order to make hard contact consistently. When taking your stride, make sure that your hands are clicking back. This will help you to be in a position to explode to contact.
Balance is one of the most important aspects of the swing. Try to keep the majority of your body weight, in your stance, on the balls of your feet. This will help you to have better balance and stability which also gives you more power.
Once up at the plate in a game, seeing the ball should be the only aspect of hitting that you are thinking about. If you focus on seeing the ball as well as possible you will make hard contact consistently.
Make sure to keep your head down at contact. Wherever you make contact with the pitch is where you should hold your head. Practice this technique by holding your head for prolonged periods of time at contact during batting practice.
The fence drill is one of the best drills for practicing a short swing. Stand a couple feet away from a fence, take short swing and try to miss the fence by pulling your hands close to your body. The longer you practice this drill, the closer you should be able to get to the fence without hitting it.
Bunting should be practiced on a daily basis. The reason for this is because you actually are practicing hand eye coordination at the same time you are practicing your bunting technique.
Practice letting the ball get deep. Hitters who consistently let the ball travel deep into the hitting zone are the ones who have the most consistent success.
Hitting with a wood bat in batting practice is one of the best drills you can do. There is a smaller barrel on a wood bat which forces a hitter to have a shorter swing with better extension in order to hit the ball hard.
Video analysis is one of the best ways to see if a player is swinging improperly. Players at the Major League level watch their swings daily on video to make sure that their mechanics remain perfect. Watch your swing, make sure that you are staying short to the ball and keeping your head down.
Hitters of any age should have a good strength and conditioning training program. Pushups and crunches should be performed by any player wanting to increase power, bat speed, and overall strength.
Stay relaxed at the plate. Take deep breaths before you walk into the batters box and make sure that your muscles are relaxed instead of tense. This will help your confidence at the plate.
Before each game you play, visualize in your mind that you are going to be successful and take good swings up at the plate. This will help you to feel more comfortable when the actual game begins.
On deck, take swings like you would want to take in the game. Your at bat really begins well before you walk into the batters box.
Make sure that when you swing you are keeping your front foot at a 45 degree angle towards the plate. Hitters who open that front foot too early lose power and bat speed.
Rolling your wrists right after contact will make for inconsistent contact with the ball. To avoid this, practice hitting the ball and keeping your wrists locked until after extension.
In order to hit the ball hard to the opposite field: let the ball get deep into the hitting zone, stay short to contact, and keep your head down.
Your stride should be early and easy. Taking your stride should feel almost like you are stepping on eggs trying not to crack them. This will help you to be consistent in your at-bats.
One-handed drills are some of the best drills to establish the proper swing. Choke up on the bat so that it feels light in your hand, and then take a regular swing with each hand.

Since 2002, Metro Vancouver has formally put the concept of sustainability at the centre of its operating and planning philosophy and committed itself to be a leader in the attempt to make the region one which is explicitly committed to a sustainable future. This comprehensive endeavour has become known as the Sustainable Region Initiative, or more familiarly as 'the SRI'."When we committed ourselves to the Sustainable Region Initiative back in 2001, we knew it was the right thing to do. And we knew we had to be committed to action, not just ideas, if we were to make a real difference. But, how to proceed, that we did not know. So we resolved, as an organization, to learn by doing. And that is what we continue to do. This is our latest 'report card'. I think we can take it home".
Johnny Carline Commissioner/CAO, Metro Vancouver, 2008

Students at MIT recently announced that they are developing an extended range electric vehicle capable of achieving the same performance as its gasoline-powered counterparts. Dubbed the elEVen, the electric dream ride is capable of achieving a top speed of over 100 mph, a range of 320km (200 miles) and can completely charge in 10 minutes flat!
MIT students have long had a reputation for brilliance and hard work – after all, they have shown us how to redesign our cities, change our electricity consumption, and improve our solar cells. However this latest project might just be their most impressive one yet.
Dubbed project elEVen, MIT's revolutionary eco-car takes the form of a modified Mercury Milan Hybrid which has been transformed into a fully electric vehicle. Their goal is to create a car capable of trumping its gasoline-powered counterpart by 2010.
Before you go and put your name on the waiting list though, there is a catch – the vehicle is powered by lithium iron-phosphate batteries, which stand to drive costs up to approximately $80,000. And although battery technology is constantly improving, the team still needs to hook the vehicle to a power source capable of generating 350kW in order to facilitate a 10 minute recharge – that's enough electricity to power roughly 20 houses at once.
As per usual with MIT, you can follow the progress on their blog. The team plans to test their vehicle in August.

One‐dimensional quasi‐periodic structures whose period is much smaller than the wavelength of exciting optical radiation have been obtained on a titanium surface under the multi‐shot action of linearly polarized femtosecond laser radiation at various surface energy densities. As the radiation energy density increases, the one‐dimensional surface nanogratings oriented perpendicularly to the radiation polarization evolve from quasi‐periodic ablative nano‐grooves to regular lattices with sub‐wavelength periods (90–400 nm). In contrast to the preceding works for various metals, the period of lattices for titanium decreases with increasing energy density. The formation of the indicated surface nanostructures is explained by the interference of the electric fields of incident laser radiation and a surface electromagnetic wave excited by this radiation, as shown by our transient reflectivity measurements and modeling, because the length of the surface electromagnetic wave for titanium with significant interband absorption decreases versus increasing electron excitation of the material.

Realtors see increase in home sales
Date: May 5, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
Homes sales are up for Manatee County Realtors.
In April, the Manatee County REALTORS filed 68.2% more single-family home contracts than in January, up to 471 contracts from 280.
On a local level, data shows that "under contract" homes are at the highest they have been for more than a year, a possible indicator that the housing market is making a turn.
In April, Manatee County reported 304 total sales, up from 234 in January. Additionally, of those homes, 66% were either bank-owned, foreclosures or short sales, a steady decrease from previous months.

Future uncertain for bear stearns' staff
Bear Stearns' plans to move to a state-of-the-art new building at Canary Wharf could be in doubt.
The company had hoped to double its workforce but now, staff face a very different future after the bank became a victim of the US credit crunch.
The 1,370 employees in Canary Wharf, based at One Canada Square are waiting for a JP Morgan take-over to be completed before seeing what this means to them.
"It's all a little tense at present,� said one Bear Stearns worker. "No-one has a clue what to expect.�
Managers from JP Morgan, which paid just $2 a share for the troubled company at the weekend, were in meetings with their opposite numbers at Bear Stearns this week, trying to get to grips with the bank's position.
A spokeswoman for Bear Stearns said: "The two companies are working together trying to get an idea of what the Bear Stearns business looks like and letting JP Morgan get to know the people. No decisions have yet been made.�
As well as staffing, another key issue the JP Morgan management will have to face is what to do with 5 Churchill Place.
The building, opposite State Street bank, is due to open next summer and Bear Stearns has signed a 20 year lease for about 65 per cent of the 300,000sq ft building space.
A spokeswoman for Canary Wharf Group said Bear Stearns name was on the lease and nothing had changed. "It's business as usual and the construction is still going ahead as planned,� she said.
The Bear Stearns spokeswoman said that it has no plans to back out of filling the structure. "Nothing is on hold,� she said. "We're in fact-finding mode and still operating as usual.�
But she added that the issue of 5 Churchill Place was a question that soon had to be faced by JP Morgan.
It has been reported the new owner of Bear Stearns has 12 months to decide whether it wants to sub-let the office space.
It has been an unsettling week for Bear Stearns staff. Many workers flocked out of the One Canada Square offices last Friday to mourn the bank.
Earlier that day staff had been told of liquidity problems, before rumour spread that JP Morgan was to buy it.
The deal was reached on Sunday (March 16) and while it secures the future of the bank, roles for current staff are far from certain.

Some really gay things that straight guys do
If you've ever noticed that a lot of the things that straight guys do are actually quite homoerotic, here's a list of "really gay" things that straight guys do, according to YouTube personality Davey Wavey.
Maybe the differences between straight and gay men aren't really so pronounced after all?
To complement this video, maybe someone can make one listing all the "straight" things that gay guys do. And then send it to Malaysia.

I'm 64 today, July 24th. Best wishes to all the people born today. I've always felt it was a blessing to be born on hot, summer, July 24th - astrologically happy people with compassion for others, and a tendency to ignore the bad stuff and move forward with enthusiasm. As a kid I thought the thunder and lighting storms (that always seemed to happen on my birthday) were God's fireworks in celebration.

Mary 2014-07-24 15:56:10
In my astrological chart, being born July 24, 1951, I have Venus (planet indicating relationships & love) in the worst sign, Virgo. And my relationships & love life HAVE been terrible. I also have Mars (planet indicating work/business) in the worst sign, Cancer, & I HAVE failed at almost every job. So remember your Sun sign is only part of what you are astrologically, that all the other planets and houses they're in are extremely significant too.

Automated Productivity
Miele's Bielefeld plant uses robotics to increase productivity and make manufacturing more competitive.
This Stäubli RX90 robot operates a vacuum cleaner testing cell in the Miele manufacturing facility in Bielefeld, Germany. Cycle time for the complete testing operation is 30 seconds to 50 seconds.
Miele GmbH's Bielefeld facility in Northern Germany covers 108,000 sq m, with 29,500 sq m dedicated to producing floor care appliances and dishwashers. The plant has a staff of about 1,550 employees manufacturing floor care appliances and consumer and commercial dishwashers in two shifts.
Miele began operations in Bielefeld in 1916, and in the early years, the site produced cream separators and electric motors. Bicycles were produced beginning in 1924, and motorcycles were made there as well. In 1927, the first vacuum cleaners were manufactured.
By 1960, bicycle production ceased, and plant production focused on vacuum cleaners and domestic dishwashers, with commercial dishwashers added later. In 2004, Miele celebrated its 75th anniversary of dishwasher production, with the 10-millionth Miele dishwasher rolling off the Bielefeld production line.
Investing in Automation
Miele made substantial investments in the plant when it prepared its next generation of dishwashers. These investments had already reached 60 million euros (approx. U.S. $74.7 million) when the new production lines went into operation about 1-1/2 years ago. "Investing to this tune in our Bielefeld plant confirms our belief in Bielefeld as a viable production location," says Dr. Markus Miele, managing partner and co-proprietor.
The appliance maker designed most of the automation cells at Bielefeld in-house, integrating 75 Stäubli robots into the production processes. Stäubli, which manufactures its robots in Faverges, Haute-Savoie, France, points to a number of productivity benefits gained from using automation. Robots' high degree of repeatability during manufacturing enables better quality and throughput in repetitive assembly operations. When repetitive activities with low added value are transferred from man to machine, the robot manufacturer says that it reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and other occupational hazards. The robots are even designed with wrist joints adapted to machine-tool applications.
The supplier also says that its robotic solutions are capable of going beyond loading/unloading cycles. They can perform secondary operations, parallel operations and by-part traceability management or quality control.
Dishwasher Production
Dishwasher production at Bielefeld during the last year was approximately 440,000 units. Miele manufactures dishwashers on two production lines, with each line accommodating different heights and widths of inner cabinets.
Currently, 47 Stäubli RX Series units and 15 Stäubli Puma Series units are used in the welding process. After laser cutting and welding, stainless steel sheets for the top, back and bottom of the inner cabinets are sent to a robotic forming station, where they are bent into a "U"-shape. Two side panels are then attached using spot welds.
The spot-welded cabinets are off-loaded, handled by two robots that move them to the next production cell. Here, another RX robot places the cabinet. It is at this point that the metal is perforated to facilitate water inlets. After various intermediary operations, the cabinets move to another robotic cell where holes are punched to accommodate the dishwasher's heating element.
Vacuum Cleaner Production
Miele manufactures approximately 1 million canister vacuums annually. Thirteen Stäubli RX90 robots are integrated into the assembly and control stations. In the control process, they verify the function of the cleaners' motor shut-off feature—the vacuums are designed to automatically disengage the motor in case of an obstruction during use.
The process starts with the robot connecting the suction hose and taking control of the electrical connection. During the test, blockage of the suction hose is simulated and the RX90 verifies the status of a diode used to signal whether the safety device is correctly engaged. The control unit records all motor parameters. Once the unit passes the test, the robot turns off the vacuum and disconnects the suction hose.

QUESTION: On average, how many does can a buck breed in a season? And how far will bucks travel to breed? - James S. of Salyersville, Kentucky
ANSWER: It's difficult to provide a precise answer because there are so many variables.
Population size, age and sex ratio all influence breeding. Even location can be a factor.
Let's start with the does:
In a perfect world, a small percentage of does would come into estrus, and most of them would be bred roughly a month before peak rut.
Most, but not all, of the rest would come into estrus a month later and be bred.
Adult does that have not bred - and in some cases even doe fawns - might come into estrus roughly 28 days later; and again, most of those would end up pregnant.
Now for the bucks:
The more balanced the age and sex structure of the population, the more synchronous the rut.
With the majority of does coming into estrous at the same time, there's a relatively narrow window of opportunity, roughly 10 days. But remember, it is a continuum.
Some does will cycle early in that range, others later.
Once a buck locks down a doe, he will remain with her from 24 to 48 hours.
Doing a few quick, and rather unscientific calculations, we can suppose that a buck might breed one or two does in the early rut.
During peak rut, bucks might breed between five and 10 does, with the latter being unlikely.
Then they might pick up another one or two later. All that varies with things like the number of available does and the level of competition among bucks.
Much the same applies to how far a buck will travel. It can depend on how far he has to travel to find does. If they're close at hand, he might not go too far.
Recent research of GPS-collared bucks shows them making excursions - usually a mile or less - from their core areas during peak rut.
The jaunts last roughly 24 to 48 hours and it is presumed the bucks are either seeking does, or possibly being led by does to secluded areas.
In areas with low deer densities, bucks have to travel farther, and could go as far as five miles from their normal home range.
Bear in mind that deer, like humans, have individual personalities. Some might be homebodies while others prefer plenty of travel to procure partnership. Some might be more aggressive breeders than others. There seems to be an age correlation between aggressive breeding and older bucks.

Our body has a natural way of cleansing itself, and all we need to do is feed it the right nutrients to help it do its job.
Cleansing ( NOT FASTING ) supports our liver, kidneys, and metabolism, while reducing inflammation and ridding our body of toxins.
10 best cleansing and detoxifying foods.
1. Lemons: balances alkaline and acid levels / cleanses intestines.
-add fresh lemon juice to your water in the morning to flush out any toxins.
2. Dandelion Leaves: Supports our liver and kidney functions to filter out toxins
-drink daily in tea form, or purchase actual dandelion leaves and throw them into your morning smoothie, juice, or salad 2x a week.
3 Habanero Peppers: support metabolism (fat burner), increase circulation, cleanse our senses.
4. Filtered Water: SAFE, and flushes toxins from our body.Tap water is known to have antidepressants,antibiotics, shampoo, and plenty of other chemicals in it, so I don;t recommend drinking from your sink.
5. Ginger Root: aids in digestion and reduces inflammation
-add to salad, smoothies, chew on its own, or chop up and steep in a cup of warm water.
6. Green Tea: mild source of caffeine, non acidic, good for skin
7. Coconut oil: keeps blood thin, unlike other oils which cause blood to become "sticky".
8. Raw Vegetables (esp. greens): detoxifies the body with vitamins,minerals, and enzymes.
9. Psyllium Husk: natural source of Fiber, cleanses intestines, aids in waste removal.
- add to protein shakes, pancakes, or smoothies with frozen fruit.
10. Be your own chef: wean out the bad and add the good.
-cook your own meals to ensure you are ingesting the best foods possible. Most restaurants use preservatives, vegetable oils, high amounts of sodium and other artery blocking additives that have no place in our body.
Start adding in these foods and cutting out the excess sugars and garbage from your day. Eat what benefits your body.
Last November I completely cut out coffee and dairy from my diet. I have also not had whey protein for almost a year due to feeling bloated and uncomfortable every time I had it.
I am not saying that everyone should do this, but after much trial and error, this is what I had found worked for me, and for many of my clients as well.
I have switched from coffee to green tea, coconut and almond milk, yogurt or ice cream in place of dairy, and Vegan protein has been my "go-to" for protein shakes.
In all honesty, my mind has never felt less cluttered, my focus has been ON, and my digestion has improved tremendously
I love the vanilla protein powder from Arbonne Essentials, and I recommend it to anyone looking to clean up their diet.
I use it as a replacement for a quick, but healthy meal on the go, or as the perfect post workout shake to keep me satisfied until dinner.
Not only is this powder packed with plant based proteins, vitamins and minerals, but it is low glycemic index, free of gluten, animal products or bi-products, artificial flavors, sweeteners or coloring, and is very easy on my stomach.
Basically everything that I look for in a protein powder.
Want to try it for yourself?
Leave a comment below to try a bag of delicious vanilla, or chocolate shake mix for a limited time special rate! You will feel satisfied, energized, and have better digestion, or your money back! (45 day money back/exchange)
And while we're at it, why not cleanse other parts of your life as well?
toxic people
lack of sleep
All of these negative stressors increase our cortisol and adrenaline levels, which cause extra weight gain, especially in our midsection. They also cause us to feel overwhelmed, unhappy, fatigued and extremely irritable.
Who has time for any of that?
A clean life is a happy life. Look better, feel better, be better. Period.

Holiday Cheer
Christmas came so quickly this year we found a new spot for our Holiday Angel looking into the living room.
We rearrange the living room a bit to show off the fresh cut tree from the Santa Cruz mountain standing proudly in front of the Eastlake mirror. We waited to decorate the tree until Emma (my granddaughter) and family came home from two months in Asia. Still had it up in plenty of time for Santa's visit.
More birds will visit Sand Rock Farm for the Santa Cruz Christmas Bird Count with the new bird feeder just outside the dining room window. (A great surprise Christmas gift) Bed and Breakfast guests will hear and see the feathered visitors from the dining table as they eat breakfast.

I've decided to collapse all my blogs into one. Last year, I merged my photography blog into Gizmos Grabowski, and this year I've now merged Gizmos Grabowski with WorldCAD Access.
I figure that anything written here would also be of interest to CAD users. The tag line for WorldCAD Access is changed from "Talking about computer-aided design" to reading "Talking about computers and design."
I'm keeping this Gizmos Grabowski blog in its current state until next March, 2014. Any new gizmos-related posts that might appear here will now be posted over on WorldCAD Access.
Thank you for reading!

Rumor has it that EA is willing to spend one million dollars to acquire a former Infinity Ward studio head. Activision canned Infinity Ward's leaders, Vince Zampella and Jason West, last month, citing "insubordination." Doesn't look like the duo will be unemployed for long, unless they're enjoying the leisure. In a recommendation posted on Zampella's LinkedIn page, a former Infinity Ward employee wrote:
"Rumor in the industry is that EA placed a million-dollar bounty for snapping up any IW studio lead, like Vince. Just the fact that the rumor is out there should speak volumes about how badly people want Vince working on their products."
The "million-dollar bounty" is pretty tenuous, but it wouldn't be surprising if EA were looking to snag either Zampella or West, and it would certainly be interesting if either of them went to EA. They formerly headed up the development of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, so... they helped build the Medal of Honor franchise, left to form Infinity Ward, overtook MoH with Call of Duty, and could now go back and potentially overtake Call of Duty with Medal of Honor. What a silly world.
In other news, the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package is coming to the PC and PS3 in North America on May 4th. Millions of people will buy it, and Activision will continue feasting on money. Meanwhile, we're cautiously optimistic about EALA and DICE's Medal of Honor reboot.

text: LINCOLN -- An armed robbery at a northeast Lincoln convenience store is still under investigation. Police Captain Michon Morrow tells KFOR News the Kwik Shop at Touzalin and Fremont Streets was robbed just after 8:30am Sunday. She says a man walked in with a handgun, believed to be a revolver, and demanded money from the clerk. Captain Morrow also says the suspect then forced the clerk into the back office before leaving the store. A K-9 track was unsuccessful. Police are looking for, who they describe as, a black male with a bad complexion, about 5-9 with a heavy build, last seen wearing a large blue coat, baggy blue jeans and white shoes. The employee was not hurt.

Submit your question below about any cosmetic procedure to be considered for posting with an answer from one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.
If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.
Note: ASAPS cannot give advice about specific medical problems nor should answers provided by responding surgeons be substituted for a complete medical history, work-up and an in-personal medical/surgical consultation. Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
Can Botox cause drooping eye and very loose eyelid skin after 3 months of an injection?
The effectove time period of the toxin is around four months, so any complication will last at least 4 months. Be patient, and next time choose an ASAPS Member Plastic Surgeon.
The effects of Botox generally last for 3-4 months. The "drooping eye and very loose eyelid skin" may be a side effect of the Botox. If the injection was the cause, it should correct itself as the Botox wears off. If it persists, there may be another cause unrelated to the Botox.
Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, and taking a full medical history would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you consult the physician who performed the injections. He or she should be a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
Robert Singer, MD FACS
La Jolla, California
Botox typically lasts about 3 to 4 months so any effect should be wearing off. When the muscles of the forehead are hyperactive enough to cause horizontal furrows, it it usually because there is some underlying brown sagging. This would be seen as heavinesss in the upper eyelid area. Since Botox relaxes the muscle that elevates the brow when placed in the central forehead area, the brow will drop until the effects wears off.

The 100 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time
Cinema exists to project our dreams. Science-fiction cinema exists to project our most creative dreamstime-travel, alternate worlds, expanded consciousness, and more. That's why we're science-fiction maniacs and why we gathered up our top 100 movies. And if your favorite isn't on here, we want to hear about it. Warning: Here be spoilers. (For more great science fiction, check out The 50 Greatest Sci-Fi TV Shows Ever.)
By Jordan Hoffman
96. Westworld (1973)
Written and directed by Michael Crichton, Westworld recognizes that its own premise is a little goofy, but it still has some legitimately frightening moments. At the "adult" Disneyland, vacationers can live out their Roman, Medieval, or Old West fantasies with none of the riskuntil a malfunction sends a cyber Yul Brenner on a relentless path of destruction.
Westworld offers up a mixture of early Äò70s pop psychology and a jaundiced view of unchecked technology. Between this film and The Stepford Wives, it's surprising that the animatronics industry didn't go under.


text: Practical experience is perhaps the most important part of the veterinary school application. Veterinary schools may or may not require a certain number of hours to even consider you for admission, but either way it is wise to start early and get as much hands-on veterinary experience as possible! Make sure you keep a detailed log of all of your hours both volunteer and paid-- this will make your life much easier during application time.

Crystal Dynamics deserve acclaim, not just for having created their best Tomb Raider game so far, but for something even more remarkable: listening to criticism. They've taken on board the fact that their strength lies in epic puzzles and astonishing level architecture, and that their great weakness has been boss fights. Of the latter, Underworld contains an admirable none. The former constitutes the whole of the game. Crystal Dynamics' first Lara outing was Legend, in which Lara's backstory and motivations were explored, ending with the discovery that her mother might still be alive, trapped in Avalon. Along the way we learned of her feud with another tomb raider, Amanda. The cliffhanger ending of 2006 is where Underworld picks up.
Yet between the two games was Anniversary, the remake of the original Tomb Raider. Threads from that story are woven in too, such as winged Jacqueline Natla, former guard of Atlantis. This time around, Lara is seeking her mother via the eschatological myths of Hindu and Norse religions, and the recovery of Thor's hammer. But if Underworld goes wrong anywhere, it's in crapping this story out in such a mess that the convoluted history is as disposable as its muddled conclusion. Underworld is all about the jumping. Fortunately, the jumping is bloody brilliant. The key word for this game is 'architecture'. Each of the five settings has behemoth buildings, with towering statues, immense chambers, and puzzles on a larger scale than ever seen before. Get the idea? It's big.
Thailand's astonishing Hindu site is a fantastic example. A gargantuan stone statue of Shiva looms over the ruins, balanced on the giant upturned body of Kali. Shiva's arms are manipulated via enormous mechanisms in order to focus a single beam of light onto Kali's forehead. But these mechanisms require components found in the echoing antechambers below, each a series of exploration puzzles and traps.
The upshot of all this is the complete abandonment of the tiresome Corridors of Death that have blighted the series. At no point in the entire game is there a spinning blade moving back and forth along a wall. Hallelujah! In fact, we can think of only three corridors throughout that contained any sort of moving obstacle, and each were perfunctory, making the connection between two chambers more interesting. Instead, Underworld is about entering a giant room and exploring the place.
While there is usually only one correct route, there's always the sense that you discovered it for yourself, rather than that you were funneled into its inevitability. Also, many locations have multiple goals, solved in whichever order you choose, furthering the sense of freedom. Instead of being given new moves, this time you're left to judiciously apply what Lara could already do: jump, swing, climb, grip and roll.
It looks gorgeous. The incredible vistas merit just standing still and taking it all in for a while. Lara's newly smoothed face is capable of detailed expressions, with a brow that even furrows into delicate pleats when she's concerned. The water has realistic waves, Lara's body gets dirty when crawling around in the dust, and most importantly, the platforms and grips look like they belong in the world, rather than having been artificially placed there.
Lara's grappling hook is back, but here again Crystal Dynamics have made a significant step forward. Previously it was a rather contrived device: this time it's much more malleable. When you're attempting to cross from one end of an arena to the other, and you realise you could get from this ledge to that grip by rappelling down, and then running along and dropping – it all feels like your use of the grappling hook, rather than their prescribed route. The rope can even be wrapped around objects and then pulled on to drag them over or turn them from a distance.
Even the swimming isn't hateful. This being a Tomb Raider game it's still the weakest part, but you're never fighting horrible controls while Lara runs out of air for the 15th time. Oxygen conservation is never even a factor; with scuba gear on hand for any wet bits (it does mean you can't drown her, however). And thanks to the wonderful design, swimming among sunken ruins is gasp-inducing, with schools of fish zipping about, and even the odd shark attack. Ah yes: endangered species. Of course Lara meets tigers, pumas, and other endangered creatures, and of course she can shoot them dead. But magnificently, this time out our heroine carries a tranquillizer gun – you can finish the game without ever becoming the target of Greenpeace's ire.
Combat in Tomb Raider games has always been a problem. Just as with the recent Prince of Persia trilogy, the games are fantastic because of the athletics, not the biffing. While there's never a fight where you think, "That was a worthwhile encounter," this time around they're a lot less offensive.
The auto-targeting is enhanced by Lara being able to not only shoot but also kick and punch if people/creatures get too close, and also do a few silly slow-mo tricks for extra damage. There is, in fact, a bullet-time mode based on her adrenaline levels – but it's telling that we finished the game without ever figuring out how to use it properly.
And as we said at the beginning, no boss fights! It's an excellent decision, keeping all mega-baddie disposals confined to the cutscenes where they belong. In the bosses' stead are wonderful uber-puzzles, super-challenging scenarios to tax your leaping skills. Figuring out how to traverse the final level made us feel like a genius in a way fighting an enemy never could. In a game about exploration and gymnastics, it's only right and proper that this is what gets scaled-up for the climaxes.
This wisdom doesn't seem to have filtered down to the script, however, which oddly keeps setting up boss encounters and then not following through with a satisfying explanation. But this is par for the course with the batshit story. Lara's journal entries and narrative commentaries, themed around underworld mythologies, are all splendid. We learned lots about Norse legend, especially excellent words like 'Yggdrasil'. But come the cutscenes and it's all garbled madness, with people flip-flopping between evil and good, new baddies popping out of nowhere, and major characters copping it and then going unmentioned.
Which is a bit of a shame after Legend was quite so magnificent at weaving a tale. Zip and Alistair's constant chatter in Lara's ear prevented things from feeling too isolated, while offering a chunk of laughs. This time they're relegated to pointless appearances in cutscenes, and Lara is left to chat to herself in the tombs, narrating her discoveries into her Dictaphone. However, it's only a small sacrifice for a game that understands the fundamentals of why we've loved previous Tomb Raiders, and doesn't waste our time with the stuff that spoiled them. Remember the incredible cog puzzle in Anniversary, before the terrible dinosaur fight? This is a game entirely made of puzzles like that, and no bloody dinosaur fights whatsoever.
The remarkable architectural vision, coupled with ultra-smart level design, all produced on such a huge scale, makes this as good as Tomb Raider has ever been. It's still short, it still has annoying combat, and Lara still freaks out and jumps off in the wrong direction far too often. So it still falls short of greatness. But the most exemplary check-pointing we've ever encountered forgives a great deal, and the brave decision to ditch the boss fights makes us want to hug all involved. Go explore the Underworld.

New eruption of Paluweh volcano
Partial dome collapse or explosions at the lava dome ( or both) produced new ash emissions on February 11, 2013. VAAC Darwin reported ash plume rising up to 2.1 km (7,000 feet). According to the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC), Paluweh has experience minor ash and gas emissions almost daily since the initial blast on February 2/3, 2013.
Paluweh volcano is located on Palu'e (Paluweh) Island. About 10,000 residents of the island were evacuated earlier last year after the volcano showed signs of unrest. Now, dozens of homilies situated in Waturia village, East Nusa Tenggara, are in dire need of food, clean water and medical supplies following the outbreak of diseases at the site, such as malaria, acute respiratory infections (ISPA) and famine, according to Jakarta Post. The ash has reportedly caused respiratory diseases among children. As many as 722 people sought refuge in Waturia village while more than 600 others were sheltered in Nangahure and Wairumbia villages following the eruption of Mount Rokatenda on Palue Island, NTT, on February 2/3, 2013. Ash destroyed most of plants and crops so evacuated islanders are now facing serious food shortage. Sikka Deputy Regent Damianus Wera said that he would immediately coordinate with related offices to monitor conditions in the affected area and consider the possibility of giving seedlings to local residents so they could plant crops during the current rainy season.
Paluweh volcano, also known as Rokatenda, forms the 8-km-wide island of Paluweh north of the volcanic arc that cuts across Flores Island. Although the volcano rises about 3000 m above the sea floor, its summit reaches only 875 m above sea level. The broad irregular summit region contains overlapping craters up to 900 m wide and several lava domes. Several flank vents occur along a NW-trending fissure. The largest historical eruption of Paluweh occurred in 1928, when a strong explosive eruption (VEI 3) was accompanied by landslide-induced tsunamis and lava dome emplacement, ending up causing almost 100 fatalities.
