May 7, 2012Your run of the mill shooter with a poorly coordinated AI that tries to dip into some strange Idea of implementing an "X-ray bullet killcam" without including the realism and extremely limiting It's use which is trying to bake cupcake without flours.
It doesn't work.
Combine that with some other serious design flaws and you got Sniper Elite V2. -

Jul 18, 2013Poor console port to PC. It deserves a 2 because it has a story at least, but is let down by the poor controls, especially moving around... Keep console games to consoles. Nice to be able to set trip bombs etc...
With improved controls (more common to a FPS) this could be a great game... Shame it fails on so many levels. -

Sep 18, 2012Even though very similar to the first version, this one is better. I especially liked the scenes following a quality head shot. The weapons choice, however, was limited and the missions were remarkably similar. Otherwise, I would score this game a 10.

Jul 15, 2014+decent killcam
-terrible AI
-terrible stealth
-very repetitive
-regenerating health
-checkpoints every 5 steps
-objective markers everywhere
-boring shooting mechanics for non-sniper weapons
-very linear
-killcam is really the only decent thing about the game -
May 5, 2012Great Graphics and awesome game play. Runs really well, cannot believe a game this good looking can run on 4 gigs of ram, a 6770 and an Athlon dual core processor!

May 12, 2012I don't know why so much negatives about this game because this is very realistic sniper simulator despite sometimes levels too linear for stealth but anyway it's one of the best games of this year so far
May 6, 2012I enjoyed playing this game. I'll likely play through it again. However while the game does use Direct x 11 you can not fine tune the graphics very much. I found aliasing to be a problem even with the anti aliasing setting set to high.
Jun 3, 2012Yes - sniping is fun.... Yes good bullet physics, but otherwise
Repetitive, and dull gameplay.
stupid and unrealistic ai.
Started the game and never finished it.
Dont waste money -
Sep 21, 2012There is no other SNIPER game on the market that can touch this... Single or Multiplayer.. period!
New DLC just released.. this game just keeps getting better with the added FREE multiplayer maps and cross nocross server options... excellent work!! -

May 4, 2012Stellar game. On mission three and as a fan of the first this did not disappoint! Bullet cams are why I play. I plan to play this for a while as I enjoy drawn out games.

May 4, 2012I really like this game. officially I am more with Serious Sam like games and I thought this game was not good. But when I played the demo I just could not pull myself away from it and purchased the game. Great Realistic game!

May 19, 2012I tried to like it because i'm a huge fan of WW2 games but it gets boring very fast! The Kill cam is cool but the rest is just bold with clunky controls and bad AI! If you want a good WW2 game then play Red Orchestra 2!
May 6, 2012
May 2, 2012Cool game with great graphics and engine. However, it really lacks this nervetickling feeling. Mostly feels like GameSpot described it: a glorified shooting gallery. Biggest problem is level design along with Call of Duty-style HP-regen and enough health to handle 4-5 bullets.

May 26, 2012i am seriously amazed by the immaturity of the professional reviews.i mean sure this is not a masterpiece but you give game like cod a perfect 9 or even 10 why?i wouldnt have picked this title after seeing bad reviews about this game but one of my friends bought it and i played this game over his home.believe me this game is very good and you will love it if you like sniping.
Jan 25, 2014I think this game is better than the average score but then I love WW2 settings and I love snipers. Combat is fun, feels good and responsive. My score is for the single player game only! I haven't played CO-OP or online multiplayer.

May 2, 2012The graphics are great, shooting mechanics is solid, pretty good sound. The game will intermittently send you in shooting where your shooting prowess will determine your victory. This is the kind of game where you need lots of patience, but the game is stealth shooter.

May 6, 2012This game deserve much more than this.
Graphic are good,the ballistics are very realstic, it's one of the few stealth games I really appreciated.
The most amazing feature of this game are the killcams, they are very well made and realistic. -

May 13, 2012X-ray kill cam is truly impressive, other than that everything is average and not worth remembering. I had 14 hours of gameplay on the "Sniper Elite" difficulty and I was glad that the game ended when it did, though I won't say that I regret paying for the game.
May 13, 2012Has its fun moments, but there are flaws too, for example i had a broken checkpoint near the end level which spawned me with a bunch a of nazi soldiers a yard away, as soon as i moved i was dead, so the mission had to be restarted! That said there is a lot of fun to be had when you snipe the enemy and follow the bullet demolish their organs in xray mode! All in all a 6.
May 14, 2012
May 15, 2012This game not bad, but its too short for me.... Multiplayer are awesome, i love this game for it. Bullet Time camera is great! So if you want multiplayer good battles - buy it!
May 17, 2012the game is for sure worth the time you put into it, and a little more. Haven't you always dreamed of seeing bullet animations like that? i don't get the bad reviews, it's not even full priced
Nov 24, 2013Get's boring VERY quickly. I had high expectations since a sniper game sounds very good. I played the first chapter...and it got already very boring and I don't feel like continuing. If you shot your first 5 guys well you know the rest. Seriously. I also found the "kill cam" a turn-off, it makes the game less realistic.
May 16, 2012You would think in sniper V2 the slowmo bullet penetration thing would get old.It doesn't.EVER.I took time off from Diablo 3 to get my fix of the skull drilling.I played the old one and if it was anything like this one it would have been game of the year....back then.Only downside is it still felt too short and the lack of different weapons.Otherwise well done guys.I got trigger finger wood. x-)

Jun 4, 2012Outstanding game. Great ballistics, awesome kill cams, a lot of great fun. Playing on hardest difficulty (the only way to play this game really), makes you have to think about every action and when you complete a mission you feel a real sense of achievement. Good stuff.
Jun 22, 2012Fun, albeit generic, shooter thats as historically accurate as your gonna get in a game.
thats where the good stuff ends though
repetitive, slow and at times extremely dull, overpriced and worst of all forgettable
definately a buy if on sale, but otherwise stay clear -

Feb 3, 2013I didn't mind the first and this is not a bad game as such, but once again it finds it self in the middle of what it wants to be. The sniper game mechanics are quite good however the way maps and missions are designed make it very hard to play it without using other guns as you tend to be swarmed with enemies.
Once again a lot of potential mostly not fulfilled. -

May 4, 2013This game to me is amazing...i love snipers games... the slow motion cam is the best ever seen... to be better in the cooperative mode can improved, because the ever have stick together, but in the next franchise title I'm sure that they will adjust it. I recommend this game for all sniper game lovers rsrsrs...
Mar 16, 2013Amazing game! One of it's kind! An opposite of CoD or Counter Strike kind of games: it is not a game to run around with a machine gun. On it's best, you hide somewhere and lay down and wait for the enemy to come in your line of sight. Bullet cam really kickas ass and the wind+bullet drop makes sniping as near real as it could be!!!
Apr 16, 2013this is is sniping ol about not sniper chost warior nope sniper elite its the second world war like you wount do see it its fun to replay the game and have fun shooting hitler
May 21, 2013was not impressed with the gameplay one dimensional AI, tedious and boring missions, at times the missions were ridiculously easy at the other times ridiculously hard, navigating the map was frustrating, unrealistic. This was one of the most boring games i've played
Dec 20, 2013definitivamente o melhor jogo de franco-atiradores e o trabalho mais bem feito da Rebellion. Vale a pena comprá-lo, a ambientação sensacional e apesar de ser difícil se acostumar com a jogabilidade (troca de armas, precisão, etc), você pega o jeito logo na segunda fase. Eu gostaria de um pouco mais de "stealth" e espionagem, por isso darei apenas 8 pontos.
May 1, 2013
Jan 2, 2015Good graphics, excellent game mechanics, good AI, clear game rules. This game requires from the player to think and plan first and only then shoot. WW2
Dec 17, 2014
Feb 16, 2013
Jan 8, 2013Sniper Elite V2 is a good and solid action sniper game. The story about the V2 scientists is nice, well narrated and motivates to keep playing. The graphics are not good, but ok and if you can manage that, you can give it a try.
Aug 31, 2012Many better shooters out there, where you can assume a sniper's role as well. What does V2 have to counter-offer? Had it followed another path, with more emphasis on stealth and the preparation of the shot, it could have made a difference, as a game of another subgenre. [July 2012]
Aug 13, 2012Behind the flashy graphics and the brutal depiction of gore, the game is surprisingly mundane, eschewing what made the original work while including no new features of its own.

In the Gulf South Conference women's basketball showdown between the No. 11 Delta State University Lady Statesmen and the University of Alabama-Huntsville Lady Chargers, DSU freshman Anissa Jackson had to go to the free throw in the most crucial times during the overtime period. In the overtime period, she went 6-for-6 from the free throw line to help the Lady Statesmen win 65-60 here Saturday afternoon at the Walter Sillers Coliseum.
DSU improved to 15-2 with a 10-1 mark in the GSC, while UAH fell to 10-8 with a 5-7 mark in conference.
With the score tied 51-51, Jackson was fouled and went to the free throw line with 2:55 on the clock. Jackson kept her cool and made both of her shots to put the Lady Statesmen up 53-51. With 2:26 on the clock, Jackson was fouled again and went to the line for a second time. She made both shots on her second straight trip to make the score 55-51. Jackson was fouled again with 1:39 left in the game and went to the line for a third time in the period. Jackson, who went to the line with great poise, made two more foul shots to make the score 57-51.
The Lady Chargers were able to pull to with in 62-60 with five seconds left on the clock, but they could never take the lead.
Jackson finished the game with eight points, going 8-of-8 from the free throw line.
"I was proud of her, because I leaned on her a little bit at halftime," Delta State head coach David Midlick said about Jackson. "We knew Huntsville was going to try to take away Chelsey (Rhodes) and Seneca (Walton), and we needed to have some other people make some shots. She (Jackson) struggled most of the game, but she did a good job of getting in the lane in the second half. Her, Becca Ruckes and Myiesha Stewart, all three did a good job of scoring off the bench."
Midlick said Jackson's personality was perfect for the clutch situations.
"She's cool, and she thinks she can do it," Midlick said. "It isn't a bad thing for a basketball player, and it isn't a bad thing for a freshman as long she works hard and she sure does."
Huntsville played a physical game and hung tough with DSU through out the whole contest. UAH led 27-26 at halftime and the score was tied 49-49 at the end of regulation.
"We did not shoot the basketball well," Midlick said. "Alabama-Huntsville is a very talented team, and they were tournament champs last year. We were fortunate to come out with a win. We had to play well on the defensive end, and I thought we did."
Walton led the Lady Statesmen for the game with 14 points and 21 rebounds, followed by Chadisty Hickman with nine points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals, Shanae Govan with eight points, five assists and three steals, Jackson with two steals and four rebounds to go with her eight points, Rhodes and Myiesha Stewart with seven points each and Becca Ruckes with six points and six rebounds. Stewart also pulled down eight rebounds. For UAH, Jordan Smith led the way with 19 points and seven rebounds, followed by Jasmine Hammon with 15 points and Kendra Jones with 14 points and seven rebounds.
DSU will be back in action on Monday when the team hosts West Alabama at 5:30 p.m.

Book Review
The Ashes in Print - Part 3
By David Taylor
12 Dec 2010
In the third part of our Ashes round-up I'm going to feature eleven books from my own collection which cover the years from the resumption of cricket after World War Two to the end of the 1970s, when Test cricket was facing an uncertain future in the wake of the emergence of Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket. Annexed to these is a round-up from Martin giving details of books which cover the series that I haven't.
England probably wasn't quite ready to tour Australia in 1946-47, but the boards of both countries were keen for a prompt resumption of the Ashes, which incidentally had been held by Australia since 1934. In particular the visitors had no fast bowlers to speak of, and since the war had relied on 1930s performers such as Voce, Bowes and Gover, all of whom were clearly past their prime. A high-class bowler in the Tate mould was found in Alec Bedser, and he was to perform heroics in the next few years without threatening to put anyone in hospital.
Cricket Controversy
by Clif Cary is an account of the first postwar Ashes series, dominated of course by Australia. It's an interesting book in that it has no match reports; it's all overview. But it's thorough and readable and - for the time - well illustrated. Some scorecards or averages wouldn't have gone amiss though.
For 1948 and the visit of 'the Invincibles' I turn to a famous name. John Arlott wrote 'Gone to the Cricket' an account of the 1947 series against South Africa, and
Gone to the Test Match
, about the following year's Ashes. In 1952 the two books were combined under the title 'Two Summers at the Tests' - I have it in a Pavilion Library reprint from 1986 which features an interesting foreword from the author. An eventful series featured Hutton being dropped for the first - and I think only - time in his career, a record breaking last day run chase at Headingley and of course, at the Oval, perhaps the most famous duck in Test history. Arlott covers them all with meticulous attention to detail, even if the prose doesn't always leap from the page. He was of course only in his early thirties at the time, and perhaps his work hadn't acquired the gravitas of later years.
From there I skip forward to 1953, and the return of the Ashes in coronation Year.
Over to Rex Alston
was written by the BBC commentator, one of the original members of the Test Match Special team. This was attritional cricket; the sides went to the final Test at the Oval with the series deadlocked at 0-0. But along the way there had been a famous rearguard action by Bailey and Watson, which denied Australia what had seemed certain victory at Lord's. As Alston put it, "England achieved as gallant and meritorious a draw as the long records of Test history can show." The exciting passages of play in this series were few and far between, but they are brought to life here.
On to 1954-55, and the series dominated by England's Frank Tyson, at that time probably the world's fastest bowler.
The Fight for the Ashes
(I seem to have seen that title before) by AG 'Johnny' Moyes, is a thorough account of the retention of the urn under Hutton in what proved to be his final Test series. Not only do we have full reports and scorecards for each match, we are even told of the takings for minor 'up-country' games.
England Down Under
John Kay managed to write an absorbing book about a series which was deadly tedious at times (in the second innings at Brisbane, England batted 119 eight-ball overs for 198). Peter May's squad was reckoned to be the strongest ever sent to Australia, but repeated batting failures - they never reached 300 in a Test - saw them beaten 4-0. The controversy about the actions of several bowlers is dealt with head-on and with common sense.
Ray Lindwall had retired, thankfully for England batsmen, by 1961 and instead travelled to England to report on the series and write
The Challenging Tests
. The Ashes were retained by Australia by winning 2-1, the second of those successes coming in a thrilling match at Old Trafford. Lindwall calls it "the best Test match I have ever seen - outside that tied game between Australia and the West Indies at Brisbane." It was the occasion when England, chasing 256, were comfortably placed at 150 for 1, only to collapse to Benaud going round the wicket.
The Ashes stayed in Australia in 1963 after the return series was drawn 1-1 - the first of three such results in the decade.
Australia '63
by Alan Ross is a book more absorbing than much of the cricket must have been. He writes in a quirky style, not unlike Alan Gibson (who never reported on an Ashes tour to my knowledge, being more content ensconced in the bar at Taunton or Bristol), and tells us as much about the city, and his travels in Australia, as he does about the cricket itself. In particular he seems to have lingered for some time in America on the trip home. Again this looked a strong England team on paper, but "only three of (Dexter's) side could be said to have come off in the accepted sense - Trueman, Titmus and Barrington." And the first of those would not come again, except as a welcome guest.
I have something of a gap where the late '60s is concerned so on we go to 1972, and a somewhat older (and even wiser) John Arlott.
The Ashes 1972
tells the story of Massie and Lillee, the emergence of Greig and the farewell of D'Oliveira. It was a fascinating, see-saw series in which neither side reached 400. England's bowling heroes were Underwood, whose 16 wickets came in two matches once the ineffective Gifford had made way, and Snow, of whom Arlott writes "reached his technical and temperamental peak in the series of 1972." Along with Illingworth and the aforementioned Australian pair the Sussex paceman has a chapter to himself. Massie, of course, was the ultimate shooting star.
I will tread gingerly over the wreckage of 1974-75 - I've read Christopher Martin-Jenkins' book on that tour, but it was borrowed from the Oval library some two years ago - and advance to the Jubilee Year of 1977. Australia had won the Centenary Test at Melbourne in March of that year but they arrived in some disarray as news broke of a breakaway series involving many of the world's top players, including 13 of the 17-man tour party. England won the series 3-0 thanks in no small part to the return, in prolific form, of Boycott and the first appearance (and immediate impact) of Botham. It was my first Ashes - all I could remember of 1975 was the streaker and "George Davis is innocent" - and I could hardly have come in at a better time. I have two books from that year -
The Return of the Ashes
by Mike Brearley, and
The Ashes '77
by David Frith and Greg Chappell. Brearley's book is a slim A4 sized effort, but it is packed with illustrations and the opening chapter is an interesting look at his childhood and early career. Many of the photographs are superbly captioned, with technical detail that many a top coach would have been impressed with. Frith and Chappell write separate chapters in their book, a more straightforward account of the series which Chappell believed at the time would be his last.
When England toured Australia in 1978-79 the home side were reduced by Packer absentees to little better than an 'A' team, captained by Graeme Yallop. England were not at full strength either - the Kent trio of Knott, Underwood and Woolmer would presumably have toured if available - but clearly the hosts were at a great disadvantage.
The Ashes '79
is, I think, the first Ashes book I ever owned - it was almost new when I got it. Frith takes us through the whole sorry story - from an Australian point of view - but reminds us of an outside world by paying a visit to a World Series match, and also marking the deaths during the series of Eddie Paynter and Jim Burke. He concludes with a quote from Douglas Jardine, somewhat fittingly:
The hooting mob of yesterday in silent awe return
To glean up the scattered ashes into history's golden urn.
...... and for the other series between 1950 and 1979
Australia 4 England 1

The extension builds on the partnership's success to date, with Hispanic-owned merchants throughout the U.S. actively taking advantage of Visa's tools and educational resources that enable this fast-growing sector of the U.S. economy to grow even more.

Biomass energy along with other renewable energy forms like wind and solar will play ever a lot more essential roles inside the future to create the energy we want. Biomass gasification is an element of that energy mix, making modest Combined Heat and Power generation (CHP) units a reality. Biomass really is also a renewable and also carbon neutral strategy to generate the energy we require.
Cleantech Transit Inc. (?Cleantech?) (OTC.BB:CLNO) was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. Cleantech Transit Inc has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that could maximize shareholder value. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech Transit Inc. has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net).
According to the Department of Energy, wood waste typically makes up about 15% by weight and 20% by volume of the material that enters a landfill. So diverting to use in generating biomass power can make a real difference.
Like any other organic mater, decomposing wood waste is a source of leachates that pollute the water table.
"Landfill burial of biomass residues accelerates the depletion of landfill capacity and leads to much higher emissions of greenhouse gases compared to [use] of the material in power plants (Dept of Energy)."

The oil painting titled 'Venus at the Mirror' (1615) by Peter Paul Rubens shows the Roman goddess Venus with her traditionally blond hair, but in the usual style of Rubens paintings showing her as a fat, rounded, but ideal figure. She is sitting with her back facing the viewer and her face only partially visible, but her face in all its glory can be viewed on the mirror held for her by her son, Cupid. The other notable human figure in the picture is that of a black servant or maid, painted in a style reminiscent of African black women slaves usually shown in harems by artists of Orientalism.
Though not human, the mirror in this painting plays the role of a central character. There are many paintings that depict the subjects looking at mirrors and appreciating their beauty, as can be seen in other paintings of even Venus. While, the purpose of the mirror is to look at her own face, in this painting, the mirror is used to reflect the facial image of Venus to the viewer. As you can see, she is looking straight at you, and not at herself. Also, it is rather impossible for Cupid to hold the mirror for Venus at the angle and elevation so as to make such view possible. Logically, it is ridiculous, but very common in art, photography, and even in movies and we have become 'psychologically' used to it.
Also, it is not that the artist is unaware of it. But the mirror is knowingly placed that way to create what has become known as the 'Venus Effect', and it refers not only to Venus or other women but the effect is applicable to all, to all situations in which such an effect is consciously or unconsciously created.
The Venus Effect, a psychological perception, can be observed in paintings such as Diego Velázquez's Rokeby Venus, Titian's Venus with a mirror, and many other works of other artists. Viewers of such paintings assume that Venus is admiring her own reflection in the mirror. However, since the viewer sees her face in the mirror, Venus is actually looking at the reflection of the painter, viewer or whoever is looking at her mirror image.
In Titian's 'Venus with a mirror (1555) the goddess is looking at a mirror held for her by Cupid, and the reflection of her face is very clear and sharp, and it focuses on you, not at her. In the Rokeby Venus (1647-1651) by Diego Velázquez, Venus gazes into a mirror held by Cupid, and outward at the viewer. But her image is blurred and reveals only a vague reflection of her facial features, and the image of the head is much larger than the actual size, whereas it should have been smaller than the actual size.

Seeking sanctuary, finding themselves
Sanctuary Art Center helps homeless youth develop their eyes
In 1999, the fledgling Sanctuary Art Center filled a small space on the second floor of University Lutheran Church with potting clay, paints, pastels and paper for any homeless teen or young adult to use.
It was simply a place for creative outlet.
While other nonprofits focused on housing, food and employment, the Sanctuary Art Center met the emotional needs of homeless youth. The organization's name reflects that, said Jamie Lee, the center's development director.
"We see ourselves as a sanctuary, a place to get a cup of coffee and do some art," she said.
In 13 years, the organization has grown to the size of a small business. Next to the space teens still use for personal art projects, the center now operates a silk-screening shop that generates half of the art center's revenue.
At the end of September, the shop produced 10,000 T-shirts for a single artist — its largest order ever.
But the center has other clients: If you see a T-shirt from the YMCA anywhere around King County, the Sanctuary Art Center staff and interns probably silk-screened it.
Everything's waiting downtown
Last month, the organization known for serving street youth brought its product to street level. It opened a storefront at Second Avenue and Yesler Way. Walk-in customers can buy youth-designed prints on American Apparel T-shirts for $20 a piece or just take in the latest exhibit featuring work by Sanctuary Art Center youth and established community artists.
Called CMD-P (the keyboard hotkey combination that starts a print job on Apple computers), the store can serve customers Wednesday through Friday afternoons.
At CMD-P, Sanctuary Art Center youth will unveil new T-shirt designs every month and host rotating galleries. The store will likely sell more T-shirts than before, when Sanctuary Art Center sold its wares at street fairs and festivals. But that's not the point, said Lee: "It's about the exposure and getting into the art community."
The downtown location puts the work of Sanctuary Art teens and young adults in the heart of Seattle's art scene: Pioneer Square hosts dozens of galleries and holds the popular First Thursday Artwalk, when galleries stay open late and unveil their newest shows.
The city helped CMD-P move into the space through Storefronts Seattle, a city program that turns over empty and often undesirable storefronts to artists and arts organizations. The space at Second and Yesler was empty, and most businesses avoided it because homeless adults sit on rocks out in front.
That didn't deter Sanctuary Art Center staff members who spend every day with homeless youth.
"[It's] a pretty cool program," said CMD-P's Silk Screen Program Manager Lance Lobuzzetta. "The space in particular is pretty exemplary of the program."
The owl and the jellyfish
Today, the narrow space with hardwood floors bursts with bright, contrasting colors. On one wall, next to a six-color silk-screening machine, the store features an array of paint jars in yellows, blues, reds, magentas and grays. Along another wall is a display of T-shirts designed by the students and Lobuzzetta, who owns the silk-screening company Efflux Creations.
One shirt shows a glimmering jellyfish flying through a starry sky. Another depicts an owl with bright blue and yellow eye shadow. There's a beetle crawling along the shoulder of one shirt, and a record spinning on the phonograph of another.
And along the walls the staff displays the art of Sanctuary Art Center alumnus Rheannon Rice next to established painter and muralist Anna-Lisa Notter.
Rice created art at the University District space years ago and recently graduated from Evergreen State College.
Displaying work by young artists side-by-side with art by experienced artists is what the Sanctuary Art Center is all about, the director Lee said.
"Your art speaks for you, and you speak for yourself. You just need a place to say it," she said.
For the last two years, the Sanctuary Art Center has helped two to four interns at a time learn graphic arts in a paid internship with Lobuzzetta. In the new downtown storefront, these students will bring out a new T-shirt design each month.
The students don't have to be natural artists to benefit from the program. Design is more than drawing a picture, Lee said. Students learn how to work with design software and use existing images to create T-shirts, prints and other designed products.
In fact, one of the most popular
T-shirts CMD-P sells was created from a photograph of a squirrel riding a scooter.
That's what makes screen printing such a great format, Lobuzzetta said. People from a wide background of skills can learn it and can reproduce art quickly and cheaply.
"It's a great medium for reaching out and showing work in the community,"
Lobuzzetta said.

One Clever Bright Red Skirt, Five Different Ways to Wear It
Hot weather—which, if you live on the east side of this country, has been strangling us all week—makes most of my friends talk of bathing suits and cutoffs and how they really need a new pair of sandals. But me? I want a fancy new skirt. Something bright enough or hey-that's-a-cool-print enough to spin the other things I'm wearing into an outfit, even when those other things are just a tank top and my default neutral sandal heels.
With a super-saturated, Instagram-filtered red shade, a lightweight, July-friendly fabric and a cut that's just loose enough you can actually dance in it, this Zara skirt might fit the bill. It's packs a whole lot of energy into not a lot of fabric, annnnnd it's $59.90. But if that's not enough, it's also weirdly versatile for such a strong statement skirt. Click through below for five different ways to wear it, then buy it here.

When Andray Blatche tweeted a few days ago that this above place is where he would be on Tuesday night, I wasn't sure exactly how to react.
Then he got more specific Tuesday evening.
"bout to get ready for cameo," he wrote. "Pullin up to cameo n a sec we bout to go hard n the paint," he wrote later.
And as Holden Kushner discovered, Cameo was also advertising Blatche's "Lapdance Tuesday" appearance on its Web site.
Actually, I'm still not quite sure how to react.

You should read about the development of a Ludum Dare entry called Ponk.
It's a C64 version of Pong, developed on a real C64 with only a C2N datasette to save code. Back in the day I was lucky enough to have a 1541-II disk drive. I can't imagine how painful it must have been working with a slow and unreliable cassette.
In the end he couldn't transfer his game to a PC so he had to take screenshots of his game and OCR them, hand checking every byte. I did something similar about 20 years ago when I was tinkering with a C64 to Amiga cable and needed to somehow transfer a C64 programme from the Amiga to the C64 to do the transfer .. Painful.
Wow. Well done Sosowski. (via Indiegames)

Alberta's Finance Minister Doug Horner speaks at a Calgary Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Credits: STUART DRYDEN/CALGARY SUN/QMI AG
Speaking at a Calgary Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday at the Hyatt Hotel, Horner said the low price of Alberta oil -- currently sitting about $30 a barrel below the North American price, thanks largely to access issues in getting it to market -- is costing the province billions in revenues.
That, coupled with the fact Alberta currently only has one customer buying its oil -- the U.S., which is ramping up its own production -- means provincial revenues will be much lower than projected in coming years.
"No storm is good, but this one is going to be severe," Horner told reporters following his speech.
"It's a perfect storm in the fact we only have one customer and the things we've always been concerned about are coming home to roost in a very quick fashion.
"The other part of that perfect storm is the market has figured out how to ... get that product to market quicker than anyone anticipated, plus, the technology that everyone thought would take some time to develop happened a lot faster, so the production levels have doubled in that area -- that's a very serious concern for us."
As a result, Horner said all provincial ministries have been told to aggressively curb spending.
"Departments have been told to live within their means and to be very aggressive in terms of reining in their spending," he said. "We're looking at every dollar we spend to make sure it is being spent effectively through results-based budgeting.
"And in light of our situation, we're accelerating that process."
Horner's office also released Monday the report, called "Dollars and Sense," the result of a two-month consultation with some 6,000 Albertans on the province's fiscal framework.
"A few key themes emerged," he said. "Albertans told us they support savings in the good times and the bad.
"They want a capital plan that provides important infrastructure when it's needed and responsible and efficient government spending, and they want a plan that ultimately reduces the province's reliance on non-renewable resource revenue."

They won't stand still for more...The one looking at you in the group of 4 is our bottle baby.
Nearly lost one, she spent the evening in the laundry room when she got cold and hungry, but is doing much better now being supplemented with a bottle 3 times a day - little piggy! 4 more ewes have lambed (5 ewes, 10 lambs total) so we have a busy barn! The rest of the lambs are about twice this size. Happy spring from a still snowy Minnesota!
Follow-Up Postings:
So precious! I can appreciate those knees. :D Thanks so much for posting those pics, Sarah. I know you must be busy as all get-out lately. On the way home from my folks' up in Redding yesterday, I saw a field full of sheep with lambs EVERYwhere! Luckily, no one was driving near me on I-5 at that particular moment, because I was Lookie-Loo-ing to the maximum! LOL I love watching the little darlings when they run and jump as though happiness is all they know. Brenda |
Four seems like a lot of babies. Are quads common? What's the biggest number of off-spring at one time you have heard of? They really are adorable, |
In 13 years I have had 2 sets of quads (but I average only about 10 to 15 ewes). Some breeds are more prone to multiple births. I have about 10 - 15% triplets, the ideal is twins, though a 200% lamb crop is rarely achieved after early in-utero deaths, still borns, or pre-weaning mortality - for reasons too numerous to mention. I average about 180%, probably because with so few sheep I have time to care for individuals when needed. As far as largest number of surviving offspring raised without taking a few away for bottle rearing? I dunno! I have a book in front of me with pictures of a Finnsheep ewe (a breed well known for multiple births) that had a total of 27 lambs in 7 years, including quintuplets shown in one photo which she raised without assistance. Well done considering their udders have only two "faucets"! Brenda, glad you didn't crash - nothing cuter than a lamb "bouncing". Wish I could post videos. PS: Herb is even happier now that there's bottle feeding going on. He waits patiently for the lamb to finish then he gets to lick the last few drops from the bottle :) Happy cat! S |

It was pretty obvious from Dennis Rodman's appearance on "The Celebrity Apprentice" last year that he might be better suited for "Celebrity Rehab." His friends staged an intervention for his alcohol addiction but the athlete refused to go. Some believe it was because he wanted to appear on the "Celebrity Apprentice" reunion show. After the show filmed, Rodman finally agreed to join an outpatient program and currently appears on "Sober House," but still seems to have a hard time admitting he's got a prob with the booze.

Well my new boy Seymour is predisposed to forming crystals and his first urine test with our vet showed a high PH and elevated phospherous levels (I think I said that right). He was on Iams for a week at the time of the sample.
I don't have the urine test yet so I can't give the results, however he suggested that we continue to feed Iams wet for another week and see how his levels are at that time. If not, he said we'd have to go to the prescription food which ALL my cats will need to eat since I can't guarantee he won't nibble at their food. I recall Laurief saying that dry food should be eliminated, yet the vet said that a little Iams dry can be left out for nibbling during the day. This is a very serious condition, so I want to be certain that I am treating it properly. Any advice? Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
Royal Canin - Control Formula kibble from the vet is what we've been feeding our cat since he had a major crystal problem a year ago. He and his two friends love it and there have been no more bladder problems. If your vet has your cat on an Iams food, it may have similar ingredients. Plenty of fresh water is always available which they prefer in the shiny stainless steel dish, or from the automatic drinker (which is on the fritz at the moment). |
Some additional information is needed. What species is Seymour- dog or cat? I always recommend canned food for cats. In dogs it depends on the crystals. |

people are finding great success with a tiny drop of liquid chlorophyll in the drinking water, swear they have saved their cats with it. Tiny drop, though, or the cat will never drink it. I don't know much about it, but you could read up on it. |

I love the first few days of working on a new piece! It's all still exciting and new, the possibilities are endless, and I probably haven't screwed anything up yet. Probably.
This time I'm working on an autumn landscape. I could very easily get in a rut, doing almost nothing else. I love autumn – always have. I love the color combinations. I love the smells. I love the golden light. I love the chill and a good scotch by a campfire.
The inspiration for this one is those days when the sky is a grey/blue and mist hangs among the trees. I love the contrast of the cool sky and mist with the vibrant leaves and dark, wet tree trunks. Here's the start of it:
I know, it's not much to look at yet. I put together an inspiration board on Pinterest if you'd care to look at it HERE. I got a little carried away and posted a lot that doesn't apply to this piece, but it's all autumn and gorgeous
And for those that don't do Pinterest, here's a few special ones…

Hi Annie,
I'm back at work! I started yesterday & it was a hell day. I didn't even make it till the end of the day. If my leg is not elevated, my foot starts to hurt. I left at 3:00. It's not just being on crutches, I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but they are renovating our building at work. I have been moved from the 1st floor to the 5th floor. My workplace is not organized at all, it was very difficult to work. Also since I've been out, management has changed, and that is a whole post in itself. I was in such a bad mood yesterday. Today has got to be better. I'm leaving early today for a dentist appt. I'm getting my new crown, fun!
I was also upset yesterday, because they are renovating the ground floor, the only way I can get into the building, and they are doing asbestos work! I have to walk through that and it really makes me mad. It's the only way I can get in. I'm hoping that I can lose the crutches after Friday and can climb the flight of stairs to the main entrance.
I was fasting yesterday, which probably didn't help my mood. I'm hoping that by the time I weigh in, I'll be where I left off a month ago. No exercise is not doing me any good either. Sorry for the downer post, I hope you are doing OK.
Hi Jean,
I'm so sorry that your return to work was so unpleasant and had so many surprises (and not good ones!). It's hard enough just going back to work, let alone dealing with new management and hazards just getting there!! I sure hope today is better for you. I'm sure it will take your leg awhile to adjust and not ache. Maybe they will let you work partial days this first week back?? I take you are not happy with the change in management either - that is always hard to deal with, too. I still miss my old supervisor and co-workers that were let go. It makes me mad because they let land techs go with tons of experience and now they have job postings for some. Makes no sense to me. Oh well....I just have to do my job and go with the flow......
I'm glad you will get out of there early today, too, but it's too bad it's for your crown! At least that will be over and done, too. It just doesn't sound like a good week for you to start back to work with the renovations and everything else. I get my doctor results tomorrow after 5 and scheduled my mammogram and bone density scan for Friday at 1:00 so I don't have to take off work. I covered for my co-worker while she was on her honeymoon and it was crazy busy. She was supposed to come back yesterday, but called in sick. Whatever.....she has not shown up yet today either - 13 days total....
I fasted yesterday, too and it was hard after the long weekend. I ended up at 550 calories, but that was still a success for me - most of them were in fruit though. I want to get in another fast tomorrow to make up for the weekend. I did my exercises, but still ate some bad stuff and drank wine. I dog sat for my DD while she was at the lake and also had Brayden Sunday, so I was at least moving.
I sure missed posting and hearing from you every day. I'm not glad you're back at work, but glad you're back on here
My goal is to work a full day today. They are moving me to a different desk today, and they raised it up so I can fit a something under it to elevate the leg. I hope it works out, though I do love leaving early to beat the traffic. I've been coming in way early so I can get a good parking spot in front of the building. I do have a temporary handicap parking card.
Tomorrow is my dr. appt. They are going to x-ray me and if all is well, I think I can start ditching the crutches and I will be more self-sufficient.
I'm fasting today, I really didn't feel like it, but I do feel better now. I woke up with a little headache, but took advil and drank lots of coffee, and feel better. I'm determined to start losing again. I have no idea what the scale says, but I know I gained, my stomach is way big. I miss exercising! I also know it will be hard to get back into it.
Don't worry about the exercising or the weight. You will do fine once you are able to get back into it. Just look at it as a little time off
I'm glad you got a handicapped sticker for awhile - that will definitely help! DH and I went to Sam's last night and I checked my BP. It was normal last time and last night it was 97/59. DH was really concerned, but I am in the normal/low range. When it gets close to 50, then it's time to worry.... Crazy how it has fluctuated lately though. I have had a sharp pain in the right side of my chest - it even woke me up last night. I think I pulled a muscle doing my stupid push ups, so am taking a break from those. I'm still doing squats and abs though, along with my normal cardio.
I hope you get a get report at the doctor tomorrow!!!
It's Friday! I'm leaving early today for my dr. appt. I hope the news is good. I worked a full day yesterday and my body did not like it. My foot gets all swollen and hurts. When I got home it just looked and felt terrible. I just elevated it and iced it. I'll see what the doc. days today. I may be able to ditch the crutches soon. That would make me alot more self-sufficient.
I don't have any plans for the weekend. If I'm still on crutches I may get my sister to visit my parents on Sunday, because DH is too busy to go with me this week. Any good weekend plans?
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that the crutches can be ditched! You should take it easy and keep that foot elevated this weekend.
I don't have many plans for the weekend. I have my mammogram and bone density today at 1 pm, then taking my mom shopping. Tomorrow is football and doing stuff around the house, Sunday my kids are going with us to have brunch at my mom's for grandparents day. That's about it - nothing exciting. I am taking off the 20th so we can go to Dallas to visit my stepdaughter for hers and DH's birthdays.
GOOD LUCK at the doctor - hope it's good news!!!!!

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
CLAIM One pump and a volumizing foam oozes through the built-in-bristles on top, which distribute mousse right where you want it.
EXPERT OPINION "I's a fan!" says L.A. hairstylist Andy Lecompte. "The clever applicator allows you to concentrate more at the roots for extra lift."
OUR VERDICT The mousse bulked up fine strands, but the brush got a limper reaction. It got tangled in wet, uncombed locks and "took forever to comb through my thick hair," said one tester.

If you head on over to Lora Leigh's page on Macmillan's website, there's a place to sign up and receive a free, never-before-published short story from her Elite Ops series.
You do have to opt-in to the Lora Leigh newsletter from Macmillan but a free short story to promote her next book, Maverick, due out next month, is a smarty pants idea. I for one am a little intimidated by intricate military-based series that are already in progress, especially from an author I haven't read, so having a short story to try the writer and the series out is just awesome sauce. Thanks, St. Martin!
ETA: Hold the phone here, Martin. Is this a PDF that I can only read online? Hm, no. It's a PDF with DRM but I have been able to save it. DRM blows, Martin. I'll buy you wine and tell you why. Call me.
ETA: NOW WAIT JUST A GODDAM MINUTE. This isn't a short story! This is a chapter! A tease! A written trailer that has no story arc, no resolution, nothing resembling a "short story." The only thing it is? SHORT. And a waste of my time. FAIL!

The Dykeenies are three brothers and two friends from Cumbernauld intent on taking over the universe via the medium of popular music…
Formed in late 2005, the band sold out their first ever gig (at the ABC2 in Glasgow) and became the first band signed to the King Tuts Recordings label. In 2006, they played the NME tour and got cracking on the debut album, Nothing Means Everything, which was produced by Dave Eringa and Dimitri Tikovoi, and released the following summer.
They've played venues as monstrous as Meadowbank Stadium and Edinburgh Castle, rocked the main stage at Rock Ness and packed the Pet Sounds tent at T in the Park.
Now they are working on material for their second LP,

Though Katherine Roet Swynford didn't live long enough to see her namesake granddaughter, her son Thomas Swynford and first wife Joan Crophill did indeed produce a daughter whom they named Katherine, after his famous mother.
In 1404, Thomas Swynford, Hugh and Katherine's son, became Captain of Calais under the authority of his half-brother, John Beaufort. This was apparently an appointment of trust for Beaufort; the previous year had witnessed the treachery which has arisen between the lieutenant and the soldiers there….
He would stay overseas for the next couple of years as one of two negotiators appointed by step-brother Henry IV seeking a treaty with Flanders. By 1406, son Thomas would be born with daughter Katherine following in 1410. Katherine's birth seems to have come at a difficult time for her father, who by 1409 had been relieved as Sheriff of Lincoln and been declared an outlaw due to indebtedness to a London draper. By 1411, he seems to be desperate to claim an inheritance in his mother's father's lands in Hainault; the occasion was accompanied by letters patent issued by Henry IV in which he declares his step-brother's legitimate birth.
It's an odd document. Thomas' legitimacy was not questioned at his birth, nor in his father Hugh's inquisition post mortem, nor was it questioned when he took possession of his patrimony of Kettlethorpe and assumed his father's arms. Even if Lindsay Brook of the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy is correct in his proposition that Paon Roet was identical with the known Giles du Roeulx of the same era, there simply would not have been any Hainault lands to inherit as the last Lord of Roeulx -- Eustace -- and surviving brother, Fastré, were forced to sell back their patrimony to their Count due to economic circumstances. Regrettably, many secondary genealogy sources state that the House of Roeulx died out for lack of heirs; however, this is clearly not the case as the last generation of Roeulx and certainly the two preceding it had no lack of heirs or heiresses.
But such is the stuff of family remembrance and legend, and what had occurred 3 or 4 generations previously is likely to have escaped Thomas' notice, and thus memories of a long-disposessed patrimony were forgotten in favor of remembering the family's possible glory days. Such is the power of ancestral memories, the key to a person's identity. For the family of Swynford, these were enshrined in heraldic remembrances, several of which no longer exist but were once established with pride and taken note of by passers-by.
By 1421, Thomas' wife Joan Crophill had passed away and he remarried a widow, Margaret Gray, first the wife of John Lord Darcy. His son was 15 and his daughter 11, and added to his financial responsibilities were the many minor children of his new wife, later joined by the addition of Thomas and Margaret's own son, William Swynford, last Swynford owner of Kettlethorpe. Thomas himself evidently alienated Kettlethorpe before his death as his IPM does not show him owning any lands in Lincolnshire.
His daughter Katherine, however, was to be married into the ancient (as in, living in England as of the Conquest) Drury family of Rougham, Suffolk. She married William Drury, knight, son and heir of Sir Roger Drury and Margaret Naunton. The marriage would have had to have taken place at some point prior to 1429 when their eldest surviving son, Thomas, perhaps named for his ailing grandfather, was born; Thomas, son of Hugh and Katherine Swynford, died in 1432. Other children followed: Roger (who appears to have survived until at least 1475), George (Parson of Wolpitte; also alive as late as 1475), and at least three daughters, one of whom was also named Catherine. Daughters Ann and Catherine Drury took the veil, but third daughter, Mary, married into the Grimston family.
Living to the ripe old age of ~67 years, Katherine Swynford Drury died in 1478. Many internet sources place her internment at Lincoln Cathedral but this seems unlikely. Her husband William, who predeceased her in 1450, requested to be buried in the Church of the Friars Minor of Babewell in his will. This building is no longer extant. Other Drury relatives were buried in the Rougham Church in Suffolk, and her daughter Mary's monument was once to be seen in a Thorndon, Suffolk church:
in the chancel of a stone is the portraiture of a woman above whose head are these arms per pale france and Ingland qtrly a label of 3 points and azure a chevron charged with 3 boars heads coupd, about the arms these words, these be the arms of dame Katherine Swinford.
Mary Drury took the memory of her famous heritage to her death. As the great-granddaughter of Katherine Roet Swynford, the memory of her grandfather's arms were still fresh in her mind (the the label of three points has been noted elsewhere as being the arms of Thomas, son of Hugh and Katherine), and she knew that her family was closely related to the royal family itself, as indicated by the inclusion of the royal arms, just as happened in her grandfather's time at the church of Ss. Peter and Paul at Kettlethorpe. Sadly, the Thorndon monument seems to have disappeared in the remodeling efforts that destroyed many medieval relics, including most of Kettlethorpe's.
Mary likely had another sister who tends not to be found in Drury genealogical accounts but whose existence seems confirmed by the 1471 Bylaugh, Norfolk, brass to her and her husband, Sir John Curson/Curzon. Her name was Joan and she outlived her husband, and though many accounts give her family name as Bacon, the heraldry on her husband's brass clearly allude to her Drury-Swynford heritage:
Finally, the family Swynford and Roet were remembered in the mid-15th century tomb of Lewis Robessart in Westminster Cathedral. Swinford, Thomas Swynford, and Katherine Roet were remembered on Robessart's tomb emblazonings. What we don't know is why. Robessart was a Hainaulter, like Katherine Roet Swynford's father. He may have served abroad with Thomas Swynford. In any case, the relationship was clearly worth remembering for one reason or another that may well be lost to us now.
We only know about some of these otherwise obscure relationships because tombs were the vehicle for immortality. There was a time when it was important to know from whence we came and our relationships with our relatives and close friends.

I always consider that you give testimonials to people who have passed. In this case this is for a very fine company that is far from past tense. You have a very fine company and I appreciate your work. Matt installed the water heater this morning and I was there throughout the process. He is a "chip off the old block" as my father would say. Matt is a professional and highly skilled. I am amazed at the very neat and clean install. I have had some experience with the install and plumbing on my own homes in Ellsworth. I am very impressed with the work that is a part of A.J.Albert plumbing. You guys do very fine work and leave the customer very pleased. You have my highest recommendation. I and Tim thank you and will consider you for our next project.
Sincerely yours,
Jim and Tim
