Face-Off: PES 2015
The AI is my biggest gripe with PES 2015. It shows very little awareness and rarely tracks runs of computer players (you simply can't play as 10 outfield players all at once) and on the flip-side the opponent AI rarely, if ever, looks to cross the ball choosing instead to play 99% of their play through the middle. As well as that it's just really easy all-round to tackle the AI as they don't release the ball quick enough in the midfield (or try very hard to shield it).

For the first time, Metal Gear Solid 4 will be available as a download
For what it's worth, MGS4 is a game that's worth playing if you've played the previous titles but it really did need to figure out a more engaging way to balance the gameplay with the exposition. It's easy to criticise it for being unable to do so to be honest given that the 3 previous games managed it and probably all had more interesting stories contained within. My feeling is that Kojima was working with too few limitations and the result would have been better if he'd had somebody to work alongside him and point out that the intentions he had for the game weren't always going to work given the medium he was working with.
The cut-scenes themselves weren't always the problem, just the lack of awareness about how to tell the story in a way that didn't bore anybody not enamoured by the Metal Gear Solid lore (the fan-service criticism is apt, I feel). Reply 0
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 review
@iamexclusive I don't know why you're getting negative responses because that's a very good point. Tom reviewed last year's game and he, like me, probably ended up being too biased to give it a decent review. My experience of 2014 was that it was exceptional for the first 2 hours and then gradually became utter shit for the rest of it once the wow factor wore off and it became clear that the flaws you considered exceptions, were in fact the rules.

UK changing approach to illegal torrents
Some of the things that I download have no UK distributor though (specifically foreign-films, some anime and on very rare occasions, music).
But other than that people tend to pirate because they can't afford to pay for the things they consume and really have to put that money elsewhere (like rent or loans). I mean it's pretty obvious that these problems lead to pirating. Mubi, Netflix and Lovefilm don't provide everything after all and it's bloody expensive to import Criterion DVDs (which are still limited though very good). This is a personal take on things of course but I think distributors should be more aware of the individual reasons why people do feel the need to pirate.
Of course, in these examples I'm clearly not talking about games. It's rare to stumble across a difficult-to-buy game now (though they still exist) and I think games-services are probably better than other mediums for distribution at this point (more forward-thinking and accepting of the internet as a mode of distribution at least). It's still the case that publishers and developers don't help themselves with their refusal to put demos out on the open-market so of course people will always want to know whether they will be wasting their money or not. I'd probably think less of people if they didn't maintain a sensible, albeit illegal, approach to their relationship with games. It's rational-thinking versus regard for arbitrary-rules in a manner of thinking. Big companies just want you to accept their products with open-arms at all times and it's not going to happen.

BioWare surveys fans for Mass Effect 4 input
I liked the first two Mass Effect games (didn't play three) but this pandering doesn't surprise me at all because they aren't really helmed by people who have a significant vision or desire for expression of anything uniquely worthy of describing as 'art'.
Conflating artistic design with art is something you shouldn't really do but it's what some commentators (and games critics generally speaking) have done with Mass Effect. Nothing about Mass Effect is the work of somebody(people) with a clear vision and desire to express something unique or particularly interesting. It's a fun soap-opera in space which puts either a man or woman in charge of the whole saving of the universe-business.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for their ideas surrounding gender-equality because that's great in-itself but in this instance it doesn't hurt their game because...(I think I've expressed myself already as not finding them to desire to want to express anything more than both men and women can save the universe).
EDIT: Oh and the LGBT stuff as well. Reply 0
Serious Sam dev Croteam details PS4 puzzler The Talos Principle

Does Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U feel new enough?
I feel this criticism. I'm sure that the game will be pretty good but I can't help but feel wary about the amazing-ness of games which are very similar to something that's already in existence.
I think the shift from the original to Melee was quite large and did expand the series into something new altogether but the movement from Brawl and then from that to this game don't appear as if they'll be making any comparative significant changes.
But then again, what fighting games aren't highly similar and derivative of their previous versions? It's just how it is. Reply +2
Editor's blog: I am sexist
Interesting topic.
A little personal criticism, I tend to consider Cultural Marxist views to be a problem when it develops a little too deeply into the logical paradigms of who, what, when, why and how rather than considering whether the problem is truly big or actually quite small - the thing here being sexism as it is considered in the present day. There are real problems with sexism (and other 'isms') but we can get so caught up in either a) agenda-pushing, or b) logical deconstruction, that we can miss the bigger picture. Society and its values will always be a balancing-act and we should consider that as we assess what is a big problem and what is a small one. By all means, fight your corner but don't just say things. Have a real desire to get somewhere by doing so (that's consequently my own criticism of many of the thinkers from the Frankfurt School).
I guess that I tend to side on the philosophy of difference, that is namely to say that there are natural differences between two genders which result in different approaches to the world. To be on one side shouldn't be considered to be negative (ie sexist) but to represent that difference in its existence. It can be sexist, but not always.
More to the point though, video-games aren't a great medium to promote social-messages AT THIS POINT IN TIME and though I enjoy them (sometimes) I still don't know how people consider them to be that way simply because they are popular. If you have half a brain you'll know that popular things aren't always the best elements to make your judgements about the world from. I feel that we'd do better to subscribe to some form of personal responsibility whereby you take an active interest in that which you are indulging in, looking at it from a critical and personal perspective rather than zoning-out.
This gets me onto one of my major problems with liberal-thought in 2k14 (and I say this as a liberal) which is that it regards people as passive entities all too often and I'm not sure that's true.
On this topic, I think that, as it stands, video-games are a really easy target because, compared to film, literature and theatre, it is a medium in its infancy and doesn't have a large historical basis giving a critic an easy path towards attacking it. It's true though, a lot of video-games are dumb as hell and promote all kinds of stupid messages. Unfortunately, it's not true that they are only negative in their indifference to females and one should keep that in mind so while I do find feminist thinkers a very important part of the puzzle, they are still only one part (despite many of them attempting you to believe they are the only important part).
But really, you're talking about a multi-million dollar industry run by people who make games that they think will appeal most of the time. Games reflect what appeals to their culture (or demographics). How much they reinforce that culture is the real debate of course and it's probably true that, to a point, they do reinforce ill-values. I'm not contesting my own point here, merely speculating that regardless of everything I've written we should, as feminist writers like to do, consider that.
But I'm not as irresponsible as The Frankfurt Schoolers and I've already drawn back to my idea of personal responsibility as one possible solution to the on-going dilemma. Just think about what things mean. Don't say, 'oh it's only a game; it doesn't matter'. Think of a video-game as representing you! Reply +3
Hands-on with PlayStation TV Remote Play
Agreed on the whole marketing problem as other commentators are pointing out.
They could have called it PSMini and driven home the idea that it's a cheaper alternative to the home console. I'm guessing they didn't because then it'd be seen competition with the PS4 (although it wouldn't be really). Do you want to spend 300 bones on a new console? No. Well then here's an alternative which plays an array of great games you might not have played before and some new ones too!
Personally, I like the look of it to be honest and see Vita games as having a digital-future if interest in the device pushes for demand, but I must confess that I hold very little interest in new consoles in general. I think games cost too much money to make and risks are so low resulting in banal crap like Killzone. Reply 0

E3 2014: the relaunch of brand Xbox One
I don't think Microsoft have truly re-branded their console at all. They've led a pretty similar approach since they realised what worked for the first Xbox in fact. They make very vanilla games and look to be derivative rather than trend-setting. Of course, they have both good games and bad games but nothing about the games Microsoft supports suggests that they are interested in making a mark or changing the industry. I can only think of two periods in which they've offered something else: XBLA, and the very-early days of the 360 where they were very willing to back Japanese developers. They don't really seem to care about either any more.
Let's put it this way though, Sunset Overdrive is their definition of a different game and to me that says everything. Except for the whole colours aspect (in contrast to brownness) the game couldn't look any more like typical ACTION-SPEED-THRILLS style that cements how almost all mainstream titles play these days. It's not unique at all.
Sony and Nintendo aren't always bastions of newness either but they still sometimes make some outlandish stuff sometimes and promote the movement of games.
I own none of their new consoles and consider myself quite neutral in all of this. I just like interesting games. Reply +5
"Gamers are not criminals and they do not need DRM"
The ball really dropped for me the day I received a retail copy of Skyrim and had to go and put the code into Steam to download it. What I bought was nothing but an empty disc with a code written in the box which would allow me to go online and download it. Of course, I live in a first-world country with decent Internet support and that was no problem but I still wonder what the purpose of buying the retail version was. It showed the change that retail PC games have made.
Now, I don't really think that's Steam's problem because it's a cheeky tactic by Bethesda mostly but it means that Steam is a willing part of a strict DRM system and therefore supports the movement from ordinary retail products into some kind of retail-DRM as the norm.
Most people only pay attention to the Steam client and care about the downloadable titles but there is another aspect to Steam and the ruination of Retail games which I think it's worth thinking more about.
Let's be honest, digital games should have less worth than a physical product and Steam's client reflects that well while offering good discounts to paying customers but they do not always. The crux is that if you are paying less then you are also paying for DRM and should take that into account. Retail on the other hand is another matter. Those games aren't as cheap as their digital-counterparts but they are treated much the same way and I think that's wrong. Reply +6

Suda 51 making brutal PS4 exclusive Let it Die
The problem with these 'Suda51' games is that you never know if he's going to serve as director, writer-director, producer, or special-executive-producer.
The quality of them as traditional video-games rises dramatically the less involved he is, but the interest-factor decreases sharply the less hands-on he is with the project.
Unfortunately, the title 'Suda51' is becoming synonymous with 'Grasshopper Manufacture' and it remains to be seen whether it's just a buzzword term to get people to look at it like with Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows of The Damned, neither of which were truly Suda51 games in the vein of Killer 7, FlowerSun+Rain, and No More Heroes. Not to be too negative but lately Suda has been more interested in running Grasshopper Manufacture than making games himself. Understandable but as a fan, I'm reserving judgment until I see who's doing what for this one. Reply +3

A lot of hype for this one, which natural unsettles me considering my realistic/pessimistic (delete as appropriate) view of of blockbuster/highy-marketed gaming, but beyond that the game sounds as if it is shifting almost all the emphasis onto the gameplay leaving, as the reviewer attests to, some very interesting storyline aspects completely untapped.

Guacamelee! dev's next game, Severed, looks twisted, brilliant
@Playstationman I'm not that cynical, but for me very few indie games ever surpass 7 outta 10s. A lot of them (like Guacamelee for instance) end up as nice ideas but they always feel like a snack rather than a full-course meal, and often a kind of new-take on an old-thing (i.e. MetroidVania). I'm not sure what holds them back really because they're definitely quite creative even at their worst. I'd be willing to say that they might be putting too much focus into aesthetics and because of that they are making up for the lack the extra gameplay inventiveness which would make them stand out.

Hotline Miami 2 trailer is gory-ous
I really like the first game but, like Fez, it doesn't seem to need a sequel. Ever since I heard it was getting one it's made me pretty cynical about the future of Indie-Game development.
I've always suspected that one of the main reasons for the blindingly high amount of sequels in video-games is that they are developed/published by mainstream studios who plan/aim to make more than one game. As such, recouping money by taking advantage of popularity makes sense for funding future development possibilities (i.e. new ideas). That's not really been shown to be the case in Indie Game Development yet, so I wonder if this is a cash-grab, a letter of love, neither or either. Reply +1

The numbers game
'For instance, at Guardian Films, Peter Bradshaw will review all the movies regardless of genre or tone. That approach with games wouldn't make sense. Why would someone with no interest in football review PES or FIFA? So straight away we accept some kind of genre bias from reviews, but that is open to all kinds of distortion. Often we will see someone bash a game when reading between the lines they are really expressing dissatisfaction with a genre they seemingly don't really get.'
That's something to wrestle with but, just as you've illustrated with film, I don't think it should be an issue for a reviewer to get to grips with multiple genres. If a game is good (interesting, unique, insightful) then I'm sure you can tell that whatever the genre is, whether the reviewer 'likes' that genre or not. The problem is more likely to stem from reviewers trying to keep up with how they think fans of that genre/style of game will think about the game and adjust accordingly. This invites bias that need not be there, especially since games are a gratifying-medium and it's hard to think that some people out there won't get some kicks from it. But then again, so are films so why don't those reviewers struggle in the same way?
As an aside, Sports games, and Racing games (let's just say non-narrative games) are probably one of the few areas where this doesn't apply. I've never thought they were easy genres to review but that suggests how wcores for a lot of those games make no sense at all really; they have even become their own thing at times (rivalry if you like). For instance, I think it was Eurogamer who gave PES 2014 a 9 this year. Well, the game wasn't finished and it didn't play so well so a 9 was just damn silly but the score almost felt like the reviewer's way of trying to one-up it on Fifa, getting the audience to give some more attention to the game than they usually wuld. It wasn't really its own 9. Reply +1

What I dislike is the way most reviewers score with something Eurogamer hasn't mentioned here: a secret agenda built to lure their audience for the sake of hits/not pissing off people, which has prompted a problem with scores in the first one. One of over-inflation.
Eurogamer is just one example because the scores it uses can rank from 1 - 10 but the score they give to a game is often inflated falling somewhere around, I don't know, 'Eurogamer gives X game an 8 again'. I gather that if you collated all the data together then most games would fit somewhere around 7 or 8, which in essence represents the problem with scoring in the modern-day world of online-reviewing and that is that you have ruined the system making 7 or 8 the average score. Saying nothing about the well-written text, I usually have to knock off two points from what is given at the end of a review to get a more realistic understanding of it, and say what you like but I do reject a world where most games are worth 8. Many of them play well, look good, but are completely ephemeral and their short-lived-ness should be regarded as something which marks the experience as probably not as worthy of a high score.
Gamers are probably quite a young demographic who are likely the scourge of the internet high-sea but sources treat them with kid-gloves, fearing consternation and rejecting the premise that they can score a game as they see fit. Big/popular games are given easier rides and it's clear the reason is one of feedback, which is where the problem comes from because when you give a good-looking, bit-of-a-boring game like Halo 4 an 8 then it sets a precedent for when another good-looking, bit-of-a-boring game comes out, as well as when a good-looking, promising but faltering Indie title comes out. 8 becomes the new way of saying 'well it's worth your attention' when 8 should be 'a great game' (9 = A Fantastic Games, and 10 = An exceptional, timeless title) or something like that pertaining to the thought of the well informed reviewer.
Also, I'm not one of those people who thinks objectivity should come into the equation. If the reviewer has a good understanding, history and care for the medium you'll see it reflected in their review and often that itself will let you know why they think giving lower scores than normal might be a necessary thing.

Wii U Virtual Console gets first GBA game next week
I saw the headline and said to myself it'd be Advance Wars. It's a pretty inoffensive title to try out. Good, but a predictable choice (apparently).
Nintendo have a way of fannying about with their old games like nobody else. I still think they've sabotaged the 3DS E-Store to promote games like this on the Wii U Exclusively, which is unfriendly. Reply 0

See how classic Nintendo games look with the Oculus Rift
Interesting videos and a good-hobby to have. Metroid Prime still gives me motion-sickness so I can't imagine how bad it'd be through Oculus Rift.
Also, I don't get the whole problem about emulators. It's like the original-sin of video-games. God-forbid we just hope people enjoy games or something. I do my bit by paying for my games; they'd need to pay me to be a shill for them. Reply 0
Ken Levine: BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Ep2 will be longer
I didn't realise this DLC came in episodes. That's a pretty lame indictment of the system when it comes to the big developers who have already made money on their game. It's not like this kind of episodic content reflects the source upon which the game is based (like TellTale Games) or that it's being used because the developer is small and needs to supplement the cost of each episode by releasing in parts (Kentucky Route Zero).
Glad I didn't buy it now. It looked somewhat interesting at first. Reply -14

PES 2014 review
Moving away from the score, that's a very well-written review. Descriptive yet personal, and much better than the majority of sports games reviews which concentrate merely on the spectacle and the systems.
I think if you're the kind of person to call Fifa 'realistic' you still might have a hard time being convinced by PES, which is for all accounts and purposes a game, which as Tom mentions, rewards methodology over madness. The one big thing that separates them is speed. Fifa has the opportunity to be a fantastic game but it's unbearably fast; rather like a YouTube compilation video with all the boring bits cut out to make everything seem action-packed. To me that's not football. Reply +10

Maarten Baas has designed an entry level art piece– an iPhone app based on his Real Time project, in which actors physically indicate the time in hours and minutes. This clock was made by videoing someone actually painting the time! He's inside your phone with a bucket of paint and manually changes the digits on an old-school digital clock.
The Analog Digital app is the next installment in Dutch designer Maarten Baas' Real Time series. His works cross the fields of art, design, theatre and performance. The anonymous digital clock becomes a performance as each minute is being hand painted by a hidden man "in" the clock.

Created at the crossroads of vintage and velocity, the new TUDOR Heritage Chrono, launched at the Baselworld watch fair this month, is a timely addition to the TUDOR Sport collection. Ingeniously inspired by the celebrated TUDOR Oysterdate Chronograph of the early 1970s. Some forty years down the road, the watch is a fitting ode to the historic links and shared values of the TUDOR and Porsche brands. The 2010 TUDOR Heritage Chrono mirrors the original shape and proportions of the middle case, bezel, lugs and bracelet of the 1970s model, right down to the black, grey and orange fabric strap, with a newly-developed vintage–and seat belt-inspired buckle.

Waiting Period Please read... I have a question attached. Thank you! I just started taking Zoloft. I have been on it for about a week now. I really can't judge it's effectiveness yet! I have been a little more anxious than usual (but not having panic attacks) and my head and stomach have been in constant ache for three days. (I could have the flu)lol! I am going to stick it out. I feel that with all new med's giving up on them before a thirty day period at the minnimum (unless symptoms are severe or allergic reaction has occured)doesn't really give us enough concrete evidence that the drug has in fact worked for us or not. So, I am going to wait and see.
I stopped taking lexapro cold turkey when dr. gave me zoloft. There was no tapering or complete wash out. I searched the site to see what (if any) were the effects of switching from lexapro to zoloft and if anyone was having a problems relating to the switch. Any information you can give me would be great. Thank you. -amanda

CORPUS CHRISTI - This weekend, Coastal Bend residents will have the chance to do a little spring cleaning on our local beaches, as part of the 28th Annual Beach Cleanup. This event is one of three all-volunteer seasonal cleanups coordinated through the Adopt-A-Beach program of the Texas General Land Office. It is an effort to rid Texas beaches of litter.
Since 1986, Adopt-A-Beach volunteers have picked up enough trash to fill a line of dump trucks 90 miles long. In all, more than 458,000 volunteers have removed 8,700 tons of trash from Texas beaches. The cleanups are an opportunity to come together with family and friends, while doing something good for the community and the environment.
The Spring Beach Cleanup will take place Saturday, April 26th from 9 AM to Noon at several Coastal Bend beaches, including Rockport Beach Park in Aransas County, Sunset Lake Park in San Patricio County, Avenue G at the beach, Lighthouse Lakes Park, Mustang Island State Park, Mollie Beattie Coastal Habitat Community, the Texas State Aquarium and Cole Park in Nueces County, and the Padre Balli Park Office, the Malaquite Visitors Center and Kaufer-Hubert Park in Kleberg County.
Volunteers are asked to wear sunscreen, closed-toed shoes, sunglasses and a hat, and to bring plenty of water and bug repellant. Trash bags will be provided. The cleanup will take place rain or shine.
For more information, call 1-877-TXCOAST or visit www.texasadoptabeach.org.

2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Collector EditionA Bird for the Ages?
No doubt about it, as GM's F-body cars take their final bow, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with the highly desirable WS6 Ram Air performance/handling package is quintessential American transportation-and a very nice piece in its own right. It's a lot noisy, a bit rough around the edges and not a car for wimps. With market forces and insurance rates ushering the F-bodies off-stage at the end of the 2002 model year, Pontiac has marked the occasion by issuing a screaming-yellow Collector's Edition Trans Am, which takes the WS6 joy-toys and adds $3,000 worth of exclusive, purely visual, add-ons.
Call me crazy, but it may be worth it-in a purely monetary sense. Some quarters are quoting GM execs as saying that the Camaro-Firebird market retreat is purely a "hiatus"-too much brand-equity has accrued to permanently axe the lines-and artist renditions of next-generation cars are already making the rounds. But if you haven't noticed, market projections for the U.S. auto industry over the next five years are dismal at best, so this may indeed be the end of the road for the Firebird and its Bow-Tie brother.
If you're creating a "collectible," then your future is all in the numbers. Only 2,000 of these Collector Edition Trans Ams are to be built-1,360 coupes and 640 convertibles. Get your hands on one, keep the miles down and the maintenance top-drawer, and someday you may be able to make a killing on eBay.
The $3,000 premium on the Collector Edition Trans Am gets you these features: the "Collector Yellow" paint job, black-painted 17x9-inch wheels, black/chrome wheels caps, black-painted brake calipers and "undercarriage protection," an exterior stripe package, black exterior mirrors, black B-pillars (coupe) or black top (convertible), yellow/black rear fascia, a "Ram Air" decal, black "WS6" cloisonné badge, ebony leather interior with "Collector Edition" embroidery on the headrest, an embroidered leather trophy mat, "Collector Edition"-badged front floormats, and an owner's portfolio.
Of course, none of this changes the fundamentals of the WS6 package, so let's review the basics.
The 5.7L LS1 introduced leading-edge technologies to the GM small-block V-8, including all-aluminum construction and a thermoplastic intake manifold. The Ram Air package delivers 325 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque, thanks to intake induction and low-restriction, stainless steel, dual-exhaust outlets. The mill barks and rumbles when the key is turned, and it doesn't have the smoothest idle in the world. Acceleration is head-snapping, and if you're not packing the optional traction control, it will be easy to burn through the rear P275/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1s when the light turns green. The power comes on steadily even under reduced throttle pressure; the Trans Am happily lugged uphill in fourth on secondary Berkshire mountain byways at under 2,000 rpm, putting enough pressure in the small of your back to tell you there was plenty in reserve. Raw power, in short, is and has always been the essence of the Trans Am experience.
Available transmissions for the LS1 include a six-speed Hurst manual or a four-speed automatic. The clutch touch on the six-speed has always been on the heavy side, so our press-fleet tester came equipped with the four-speed automatic (darn!). Shift points were engaged rapidly enough under full-throttle launches, yet chip-mapping helped deliver overall fuel-economy numbers during our test better than 20 mpg-not bad for a gnarly ol' V-8.
Pontiac has always claimed that the WS6 suspension is "specially tuned" but has been shy on divulging the specifics. The basic package is identical to the base Firebird-coilover monotube gas-charged shocks, a tubular stabilizer bar with links in front; and a Salisbury (solid) rear axle with a torque arm, trailing arms, track bar, and coil springs in the rear-with the only noticeable difference being a 30-mm front stabilizer bar, as opposed to the 28mm part on the basic Bird. Road isolation is reasonably detached, yet the ride is as stiff as one might expect. The solid rear axle provides some wheel hop, but discrete throttle pressure will keep the nose pointed in the right direction-no thanks to the rather vague steering.
Interior legroom remains rather cramped, especially for drivers over 5'10" and passengers over 5'8". The switchgear has a fussy, '80s, retro feel to it, brought home most forcibly when one fiddles with the seven-channel equalizer on the stereo faceplate. There's a fair level of ambient interior noise, thanks to the tires and the wrap-around rear spoiler on the deck lid.
F-body numbers were never big enough to satisfy GM suits, but the Trans Am has always had its loyal admirers, despite its being caught between the Cavalier and the Corvette. The General always hoped there'd be a place for such a car, and the Collector Edition allows the Trans Am a flashy final bow-at least for now. Whether there's a curtain call remains to be seen.

Official Nintendo Wii Remote Product Details
Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote controller is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.
Using Bluetooth technology, the wireless Wii Remote controller sends your actions to the Wii console from as far as 30 feet away. As a pointing device, the controller can send a signal from as far as 15 feet away. Up to four Wii Remote Controllers can be connected at once, making for some great multiplayer fun!
In addition to its pointing and motion-sensing abilities, the Wii Remote controller also includes a speaker and expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller.

A relaxing day at the beach turned into a real hike for a lot of people who went to the Rockaways Tuesday. NY1's Ruschell Boone filed the following report.
A lot of people were sweating at the beach, and it wasn't because they were laid out in the sun. We watched as many traveled up and down Shore Front Parkway in search of a beach to sit and/or swim. Many didn't know which was open or closed until they got to the sand.
"They're kicking the people off the beach," said Debra Delgado, who went with her family to the beach. "So now we have to walk all the way down there to where the green flags are.
Red flags meant there were no lifeguards at Beach 108 Street, so it was on to another spot a few blocks away. It wasn't a walk that Delgado and her family were looking forward to after driving 35 minutes from Middle Village.
"I got to walk all the way down that way, you know, and lug all this stuff with the kids," Delgado said.
Others were tanning when they were told to go two blocks over to 106th Street. Some people took it all in stride, but a few who were hot about the whole thing left. It was too much confusion for some beach-goers.
"You would think they would let everybody know exactly what beaches to go to, you know, but they don't," said one person in the Rockaways. "I don't know what's going on."
The beach was closed early because of the roving sand replenishment work being done by the Army Corps of Engineers following Hurricane Sandy. The Department of Parks and Recreation said it lists the beaches that are open on its website, but one business owner said he had a hard time finding the information. NY1 did, too.
"Maybe if there was one site where everyone could go to and just understand better the different construction projects that are happening out here, and where they could go so that they can enjoy themselves on the beach," said Justin Harter, the owner of Citysticks.
That may not be necessary. A spokesperson for the Department of Parks and Recreation issued a statement, saying, "We anticipate that the work will be completed this week from Beach 60th Street to Beach 149th Street allowing beaches in that area to resume normal operations."
He also said that all the beaches will be open this holiday weekend and will stay that way through Labor Day.

Here we are on the last working day of Janet's official role as Head Librarian at the Carleton Place Public Library. Where did the time go? It seems like only yesterday that she announced she would be retiring, which turned into a whirlwind of preparation, tying up loose ends and eventually, the search for a replacement. We're really going to miss her.
Well, Janet….
- no more early mornings,
- no more being interrupted in restaurants because an alarm has gone off at the library,
- no more calling all over creation to find someone to come and do a repair,
- no more health and safety meetings,
- no more putting on your coat every three minutes to run around town to pick up books/supplies/spare parts/to sign papers/to participate in a mock disaster,
- no more pulling your hair out when someone needs a last minute schedule change
……and we hope there will be plenty of…..
- sitting on your porch drinking cups of tea
- naps in the middle of the afternoon
- knitting/quilting/baking
- reading all the books you can possibly keep on your bedside table
- red hatting
- lunches with friends
- visits with your mom
- phone calls to a certain young man down East, and maybe a few extra visits
- and lots and lots of "if the mood strikes you" stuff
Thank you for all the wonderful years, experiences and guidance. Don't forget to drop by to visit once in a while!

The aerial rendering of the Warners studio is quite accurate. With the big arched roof sound stages, the prop shop to the right and electrical shop behind that and then the back lot in the back. Also Olive Ave passing by in the foreground and then veering north where it splits with Pass Ave. The LA river to the right of the lot. Missing in the rendering is the Ventura Freeway (probably not built yet) and their neighbors, The Walt Disney Studios, which did exist!

Top Local Tips for Mykonos
Sea Satin is a fabulous romantic restaurant! Sea Satin. The most romantic restaurant in such a simple way. Bottles of wine were shoved in buckets of flowers, you choose your fish fresh-caught from the waters next to the restaurant, and mason jars filled with candles lit the patio. We sat for hours at this place just enjoying the night.
Seeing the Island Rent the 4 wheelers or motorbikes.
YOU WILL GET LOST. There is NO public transportation. Roads are so narrow they're footpaths in downtown. It's a winding rabbit warren. Be prepared to wander around and around in a maze, just enjoy the fabulous architecture, light, shops, cafes, and good-grief-it's-so-very-Greek atmosphere.

One of the most incredible shows I've ever seen. GO SEE THIS PLAY!!
Written by Bill Cain
Directed by Eric C. Engel
Winner of the prestigious Mimi and Harold Steinberg Playwriting Award, 9 Circles is a raw, emotionally charged quest for salvation set against the backdrop of war.
Jimi Stanton, Amanda Collins, and Will McGarrahan all recreate their critically acclaimed roles in a production originally presented by Boston's Publick Theatre.
9 Circles by Bill Cain is a dramatic interpretation of one man's metaphorical journey through the sins of Hell. This powerful story, right from today's headlines, examines the impact of war. Pvt. Daniel Edward Reeves' state of mind is in question throughout this play and it asks what are the consequences that a country must face when it fails to carefully examine its soldiers' sanity? "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here," Dante reminds us in his Inferno. Sins comitted during wartime can be forgiven under certain circumstances. The question remians: does the sinner forgive himself? If he is aware of the crime, is he really insane? What journey through Hell could leave a man capable of hope?

What would the aprox price be for replacing the batteries on the Black 1000 + 1500 units?
What would the aprox price be for replacing the batteries on the Black 1000 + 1500 units?
I think the 1000 would need the RBC6 and the 1500 would need the RBC24. You can get the RBC6 for around £60, the RBC24 is quite a bit more around £180, although you can just buy the batteries on their own and fit them to the battery tray for less Brand New RBC24 (RBC 24) batteries for APC UPS | eBay UK .
How much will they cost for shipping?
I'm looking at one of the 1000 for our backup server
Sorry, I don't really want to be shipping them as I don't have any proper packaging for them and they're rather weighty!!
If you will ship I may take a few off you as we've just had another power out and one of our switches has gone pop - good job I was replacing it today anyway! (I've never felt so lucky, normally the power out would have waited for me to put a nice shiny new one for it to kill)
Even without the batteries they still weigh quite a bit, and I don't want to post them with inadequate packaging and for them to get damaged, so unfortunately it will be collection only, although I may be able to deliver within a certain distance if you buy buy a few!
Bump. These are all still available. I'm open to offers on all of them

The Senate Resources Committee today agreed to introduce legislation from the Fish and Game Department setting up a program to allow hunting of wolves in Idaho once the animal is removed from the federal endangered species list, reports S-R reporter Parker Howell. But the Fish and Game Commission's earlier decision to charge $26.50 for a wolf tag for an Idaho resident has been modified; now the price is $9.75.
The reason: Commissioners had planned to raise tag prices for mountain lions and bears back up to $26.50, their former level before those tag prices were lowered a few years back, and then charge the same for tags for all three types of predators. But the commission didn't end up lowering the lion and bear tags, so it asked lawmakers to set the wolf tag price at $9.75, the same as the lions and bears. Non-resident tags would be $150. The legislation also legalizes wolf hunting for the first time in Idaho under the regulation of the Fish and Game Department, once wolves are no longer listed as endangered.

The staff was very accommodating to our needs and desires.
The owners were very nice and helpful. They only had 4 television stations (CNN,TNT, 1 HBO channel and the cartoon channel. There was no view of the mountains. The motel was clean and quiet. They put freh flowers in the room. Could not use the pool.
The lack of television stations. No micro or refrig. The owner said we could you use their micro and refrig next time
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
