Well, I selfishly assume that your question is directed to me since I live in the Land of Rising Sun
Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really know what you HAVEN'T got in the US, so I'll just make guesses as I go. Exterminator - kinda like RE, 3rd person view and fight monsters Devil May Cry - won't be coming out till this summer but it looks awesome, 3rd person view, action, monsters http://www.capcom.co.jp/devil/ Dino Crisis2 - sequel to Dino Crisis GT3 - the greatest driving/racing sim But you must be aware that there is a little something called "Nihongo" |

"Devil May Cry" looks good!!

Well, first I've got a few questions...
What console do you own (I'm assuming PS2)? Do you have a mod chip installed in that console to bypass the regional lockout? Do you have a basic understanding of the Japanese language? That having been said, the only game that springs to mind right now is Gran Turismo 3 A-spec. However, it'll be out in North America on June 11th, so it's probably easier to simply wait for it. -Keiichi

if you have a Dreamcast grab a copy of COOL COOL TOON
its one of those addictive dance'n game

Yeah you should have atleast a basic grasp of the Japanese langauge before trying to play ANY games imported from there.
Now that we have that out of the way, you should choose a game that won't require a lot of reading. I have a friend who neglected to think about this before having Shenmue imported to him. |

If you are in for those music-oriented games, we have literally tens of them!!
Beat-Mania series Dance-Mania series Drum-Mania series Guitar-Mania series DJ-Mix series to name just a few You have to get attachments(i.e. a dance pad, a guitar, drumset, turntable) for those games, though. They are hilarious to play! |

is the gamecube out in jappan?
I heard it is. and My sister said she is willing to spend this much on her brother
13th May 2001, 12:51 AM | #9 |
Not it's not. The GC won't be out until late this year. Around Q4 if I remember correctly.

Yay!!! Someone actually mentioned the Beatmania series!!!
Why limit yourself to consoles? What about Japanese games for Windows (mostly if youre into RPGs, SLGs, and Dating Sims)

Maniac Mansion
BTW, there once was an NES game called "Maniac Mansion" which had an American cartoonish image to it. It's a game about some kids sneaking inside of someone's house just to find those crazy maniacs or something. It was a very simple side-view game like Super Mario. But it had something so exciting about it. Going into all those different rooms to finally find some residents who came chasing me in the speed of a slug.
Did you have this game in the states? That was a freaky game. I still have nightmares about that grannie chasing me!! And she was SO SLOW!!! "Come here, son..." AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! |

Well, as Keiichi said, GT3 is coming out in short time in the states anyways, so I wouldn't get a Japanese version if I were you. It requires mod chip installed in your PS and the game's in Japanese. If you can have the same thing in English if you just wait for a month or so, I suggest you wait.

I'm not sure about DVD format but I suppose it's different than that of yours in the states. Japanese videos would most likely work in the states 'cause when I took my video cassettes to the states, I could watch them in the normal VCR.
And as for animes, if you have any favorite anime, the chances are that there would be all kinds of goods for it. We have huge anime stores in many cities. |

you DO know the level of censorship in america is the HIGHEST in any country in tha world, Right? in some americanized animes, almost one third of the episode is taken out. and almost 30% of the speech is wrong or censored.
Amerika-jin wa baka desu. Did I say that right?

umm.. depends how you watch the show
usually Subs are the raw (accept of slang equivalents and jap<=>eng grammar) also I think the stuff your talking about are the TV dubs. the real dubs have all the footage however the add/subtraction words and phrases is big watch Gunsmith Cats. when Rally is in her undies may says "at least you where wearing a clean pair" in english, however in the sub said "its not like your marrying him" weird... I prefer subs that is why I liked Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon so much

He should know. Last fall, Cuthill, guitarist/ kazoo player Dan Kase, washtub bassist Aaron Thomas and multi-instrumentalist John Hickham appeared at the Montessori Institute Children's House in Denver before a throng of preschoolers whose energy level proved almost too much for these twentysomethings.
"We started off with fast songs, and the kids just freaked," Cuthill recalls. His first instinct was to slow the tempo and stick to waltzes for fear that the young'uns would go insane. But instead, the four kept up a frenetic pace, and before long, Cuthill says, the children "rushed the stage--and they were climbing all over Aaron's tub."
"I didn't bring tape for my fingers that day," Thomas interjects. "I need to bring tape for my fingers or else I'll get huge blood blisters--and so they were just exploding everywhere. I was spurting blood, and the kids wanted to see my fingers. They just couldn't get enough of it."
"They thought it was really cool," Cuthill agrees, laughing.
Listeners who've outgrown Teletubbies are apt to enjoy 32-20's numbers as well. Because the jug style shares a kinship with everything from country and folk to blues, it has a wide-ranging appeal. "That's one of the things we pride ourselves in," Hickham says. "It's such good-time music that we've been able to go into totally different places. We can go up to Lyons and play for the old folkie crowd--people who listened to Dave Von Ronk and guys like that--and they like what we're doing. And we've gone into the 15th Street Tavern and just started belting out gospel songs at the top of our lungs to a cynical Generation X crowd." According to him, "Our favorite thing is to sing old religious songs like Leadbelly's 'Mumbling Words' in front of punk-rockers."
Hickham--who, like Thomas, is a graduate of Clear Creek High School in Idaho Springs--isn't trying to put down such audiences. "We grew up listening to stuff like punk-rock music," he says. "You can put on an old, scratchy blues record that would have sounded way too abrasive in the Sixties, but for us, it's not that abrasive. We can see the intensity underneath it."
That's certainly true of Kase, a previous Westword profile subject ("Just in Kase," April 24, 1997) with an encyclopedic knowledge of early-century blues. A native of Hillsdale, Michigan, who's made a name for himself as a solo act since moving to Denver, Kase wound up in the Jug Band after Hickham and Thomas saw him singing Woody Guthrie songs on the street. Thomas later asked Kase if he'd like to check out some paintings at the nearby Denver Art Museum--an invitation that made Kase a bit nervous. "I was sort of new to town, and I wasn't sure what was going on," he says. "I was like, 'Uh, I'll pass on the naked penises.'"
"And three weeks later, he's naked on my couch," Thomas notes.
True enough, Kase moved in with Thomas and Hickham and became an active participant in house jam sessions. Kase and Hickham subsequently began playing as a duo at a local restaurant, and the positive response they received convinced Thomas and Cuthill, who also plays guitar with Marty Jones and the Pork Boilin' Po' Boys (fronted by Westword contributor Marty Jones), to join the fold.
Today, a year after the lineup solidified, the band has a repertoire that consists of originals, standards from the Twenties and Thirties by the likes of the Memphis Jug Band, the Dixieland Jug Blowers and Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers, and tunes by acts such as the Carter Family that have been adapted to the jug format. Kase and Hickham are into acoustic blues acts such as Blind Boy Fuller, Cuthill is a folk fanatic, and Thomas loves the music that evolved into country and Western; as a result, the band's song list is eclectic. Their method of performing it, however, is as simple as can be. Like their jug-music forebears, they go without "fancy trumpets and clarinets" (Cuthill's words) in favor of jugs, washtubs and other items that were typical kitchen equipment in communities like Memphis during the Twenties, when folk, blues and country sounds were being embraced by a wide variety of people.
"Memphis was the first place where there was a kind of blending of black and white music--where you had that sort of mix between the races," Kase says. "And that's where rock and roll came from."
"It's a cross between almost-urban black music and very primitive white music," Hickham notes. "It's not urban black, but it's not folk black. It's just Memphis."
Lessons like this one crop up frequently during conversations with members of the Jug Band. Kase, in particular, feels that too much current music fails to acknowledge the sounds that came before it. "I think it's really a matter of knowing your history. Old school for a lot of people is, like, 1984. But there's shit that goes back to 1894."
The decision of Kase and company to resurrect this part of America's musical heritage is not driven by money. The men of the 32-20 Jug Band have no interest in making jug the swing of the new millennium; instead, they're delving into the music because there's something in it that touches them.

Romantic Island Destination, Hatchet Caye.
Happy Valentine's Day 2014 from Hatchet Caye Belize
Is anything in the world more romantic than being on an unspoiled private island, strolling hand in hand, dazzled by the rays of the setting sun.
The warm breeze caressing you as you amble along, dipping your toes in the water that ripples at the edge of the beach. The sand soft underfoot and still warm from the day's sun as the stars overhead start to twinkle. If you have never seen the Caribbean sky at night you will be amazed at the blanket of stars that are visible here. It is like you are literally closer to Heaven when you are at Hatchet Caye.
There is nothing like escaping from the world with your loved one and living like castaways on a private island. Live the fantasy of being swept away to somewhere exotic and remote and spending intimate moments alone on the sandy beaches, in the warm embrace of the buoyant salty waters, or snuggled in a hammock gently rocking beneath the palm trees.
Spend blissful days exploring waters rich with marine life of such variety that each day you are sure to discover something new and amazing. It is truly paradise above and below the turquoise water and the perfect setting for tender moments.
Dine on your private veranda with twinkling candles, sumptuous seafood and wicked tropical cocktails. You may blame them for your light-headedness, but the intoxicating atmosphere seeping under your skin is probably the real culprit.

Fellow vanilla loveres will appreciate this very vanilla icing. I used salted butter, 1/2 pure vanilla extract and 1/2 artificial Clear vanilla extract to help preserve the whiteness of the icing.Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Icing
- 1/2 Cup Butter (room temperature) 1 8 oz Package Cream Cheese (room temperature) 1 1/2 ts Vanilla 1 lb Confectioners Sugar 2 Fresh Vanilla Beans (seeded)
Mix butter,cream cheese and vanilla until combined. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Add vanilla bean seeds and beat on medium speed to combine. Frosting should look like vanilla bean ice cream when complete.

Michael Vick seems to get hurt during a football game as often as the average person puts on pants, or washes underwear. In fact, he may even get hurt more often than the average person washes their underwear, and I'm not sure if that says more about Vick or us. Probably us.
During the Eagles' first pre-season game, Vick left in pain after his thumb struck a helmet on his follow through. After he was given the highly-advanced remedy of a glass of cold water to dip his slightly swollen thumb into, X-rays were taken and it was determined that Vick had dodged a serious injury. It was only a contusion, which is a scary medical word for a bruise.
Tonight in his second pre-season game, he visited the X-ray room again.
On a broken play when Evan Mathis was beat easily and Vick was forced to do what he does best (run wildly), he ran into more Patriot defenders who wanted to plant their facemask into his ribcage. Jermaine Cunningham was eventually successful in that endeavor.
(Via CJ Zero)
Vick rose to his feet and tried to continue, but he quickly went back down to a knee again and eventually walked off to the locker room. ESPN's Lisa Salters confirmed that images of Vick's potentially busted ribs were indeed being taken by an X-ray machine, and then later she said the results were negative. Last year Vick missed three games when he broke two ribs.
You didn't need another reason to fear Vick on draft day, but he was more than happy to provide you with one. In fairness to Vick and his status as a QB with durability equal to that of a snow globe in a soaking wet paper bag, what else should he have done on this play?
He gets a lot of flack for unnecessarily exposing himself during runs downfield, but that didn't happen here. He was frantically scrambling deep in his pocket after his offensive line collapsed. There was no opportunity to step out of bounds, and no chance to slide. His only option was to throw the ball away, and he did that, but a second too late.
The difficulty with Vick from a fantasy perspective is that even if he misses, say, three-to-four games, for the other 12 or so games he's usually posting elite numbers. That's especially true in leagues that award more points for rushing yards, which is most leagues.
After he's left two straight pre-season games early, I can't justify using a second-round pick on Vick, even with that massive upside. However, if the price you're paying is a handful of picks later and in the middle of the third round, then the risk is manageable. And how exactly do you manage that risk? In reality (or at least in theory), the Eagles know that they need to employ the league's best backup. You'll do the same in fantasy by quickly reaching for an above average backup early.
Jay Cutler is the ideal target since he's usually still on the board late in the ninth round or early in the 10th. That's enough of a gap that you can still address other needs with the five picks between rounds four and eight before investing in insurance to reinforce that early-round risk.

Sonic Jump Fever Review (iOS)
Sometimes he's a werehog, sometimes he's smooching human girls, and in Sonic Jump Fever, he's jumping up an endless series of platforms while begging for your money.
Sometimes he's a werehog, sometimes he's smooching human girls, and in Sonic Jump Fever, he's jumping up an endless series of platforms while begging for your money.
Mutants: Genetic Gladiators is a free-to-play title that doesn't shy away from the immediate money grab. Depending on your love of mutants, this is a flaw that you'll either deal with or completely skip altogether.
The addictiveness of endless runners stems from presenting players with the greatest obstacle they could ever hope to overcome- themselves.
Taking pills in the magnitude that Intake: Be Aggressive presents can result in a few adverse effects mixed in with its original therapeutic intent.
Zombie. Ninja. Cyborg. When coming up with the concept for Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, it seems like the development team over at Tecmo Koei were just reaching for whatever pop culture trends they could find and merged them together to create their new hack and slash. This spin-off of the unforgiving, but rewarding, Ninja Gaiden series features a new hero, new look, and drastically different gameplay, but it forgot to include the one thing the previous Ninja Gaiden games had: fun.
Tanglers Blitz is a free-to-play app that is filled with colorful aliens that need to be collected by the touch of your fingers. It's a supremely easy game to master, and within seconds you'll understand the game's entire universe. Predictability can work its magic with certain titles, and with Tanglers Blitz a little bit can really go a long way.
The second of four planned add-ons for Xbox One exclusive Dead Rising 3, Fallen Angel takes us on a journey with Angel, a member of the resistance struggling to fend of the military and zombies. While her story is quite different from previous DLC protagonist Adam Kane's, it's still just more of the same.
Every year there's a number of card games that come out, with each one determined to make a mark. Kahuna has risen up in the ranks as a card game, but the iPhone/iPad version still needs a bit of work done in the technical department in order to let players enjoy the application.
Hot Wheels World's Best Driver initially won me with one risky decision. Originally a console game, its journey to iOS can be only enjoyed by iPad users, so cutting the mobile market is a huge risk for the franchise. With Chillingo, this racer should easily cross the finish line with flying colors. That being said, the need for speed and a dependable brand name doesn't always guarantee a smooth ride.
The dragon riding rail shooter has returned! At the helm of Crimson Dragon is Yukio Futatsugi, who was the director of the first three Panzer Dragoon titles. Alongside Panzer series composer Saori Kobayashi, Crimson Dragon has taken up the dragon rider's mantle which hasn't been occupied since Panzer Dragoon Orta was released in 2002. It looks like Sega has wanted to leave the series alone, but an oppressive industry hasn't stopped rambunctious, dragon riding heroes from rebelling, right?

I normally don't give airtime to anti-LOST articles – but this gem is so clueless in its construction that I just had to share it. The real title of the article should be "I hate anything I don't understand," or maybe "I don't have the brainpower for LOST." Maybe there is a hint of humor somewhere in there that I missed. Who knows.
People have been criticizing Lost ever since it came on the air in 2004, but only lately have die-hard fans begun to question their investment. While Abrams may be all about the journey, most of us want our questions answered at the end. And try to keep the jerking to a minimum. This season has all been about the time travel element, which hasn't gone quite as well as it could have. There are too many characters, too many storylines to keep straight in our minds. I need to drag out that map of characters that shows all the one to two degrees of Kevin Bacon separation between them all and prop it up like a finals cheat sheet.
Full article here. (film.com)
So, I'm guessing most of you are die-hard fans – are you questioning your investment?
38 Responses to "Why Lost Sucks (If you don't understand it)"
Nope, I'm loving it more and more! In some ways I'm finding myself less perplexed than I ever used to be. Big plot twists seem a little less surprising than they should perhaps but even then the payoff is great!
I know we'll get the answers we need to complete the main story, its the waiting that's the hard part! But even then, isn't the sign of a good story leaving some mysteries unanswered?
I hear this all the time from some of my friends and coworkers… My explaination is that these folks have not read great classic litature, or even Religious texts- because that what this show is– It is classic litature mixed in with Religion and Science. It has all the key elements, An Outlaw, A Doctor, Childhood problems, the list can go on forever… This is the complete TV show ever, and it's very smart. Most of these folks are the type that love movies like 'Fast and the Furious', and can't stand old movies like 12 angry men. Lost is good.
most people as stated above are just plain stupid and cant understand a great story when there are multiple story lines etc they just suddently cant follow it for those people they make shows like csi and the office and other shows that are always the same. what i am trying to say is this :
i find it very irritating that when there finally is a great show like lost and not just another boring predictible show it almost got cancelled cause everybody is too stupid to understand it
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Let's "The Office" and its fans out of this. That show is hilarious, brilliant and multi-layered. It is one of the smartest comedies in a generation. (And they make a few tips of the hat to Lost).
Lost is by far, one of the most complex, rich, developed television dramas ever allowed to complete its journey. And if you don't get it, like the writer of this article, than it's too bad for you. But better for those of us who do love the show: Because we get it.
It's like why Ben can see Jacob. Because he gets it (like him/it or not).
But am the only one who on Wednesday thinks or says to himself:
"T.G.I. Wednesday, am I right? Gonna go home. Get my beer on. Get my Lost on."
im sorry for the comment about the office i only saw it once and really didnt like it so it was wrong of me to judge on a show i never really saw in the first place but that doesnt take away that there are still too many tv shows out there that do suck and have no story at all
I also am all "TGIW."
I try not to leave the house on Wednesday after work just in case I miss a new commercial. (j/k, j/k, j/k – but i'm sure there are people like this).
I love the show more than ever. We're finally getting some big answers and the story telling is as good as ever. And I don't find all the characters and storylines at all difficult to keep track of. F the haters. Go watch Idol.
Actually I think American Idol is harding to follow than Lost. I mean every week it's like, Who gonna sing what song, and what are the judges gonna say, or when will Ryan Secrest fake us all out by going to a commerical break rather than annoucing the winners. How do you keep up with that? Lost is way easier to get a grip on. he he
ok, ok, touche!
The guy can't even proof read an article apparently. He contradicts his main point.
"It's the idea of what's inside more than what's actually there that interests me," Abrams said during a recent conversation. "You can never make anything that is as good as what someone can imagine it can be."
You do realize, I say, that you are writing TV shows for people who would rip that box open in a heartbeat with their bare teeth just to find out what's inside, right?"
Then he goes on to talk about how dissapointing all the answers are…. Ummm what?
Also I've had no trouble keep tracking of the characters. There's really only been 2 groups at any one point. 2 isn't a big number… Most people can handle 2. That's all I'm saying.
That is a really badly-written article. How could anyone take her point of view seriously when she can barely express it?
I can see why people who watch TV so they don't have to think will not watch LOST – but then they shouldn't say it "SUCKS"! There are plenty of "mindless" shows on TV that I do not care for, but I don't go around making blanket statements about how they "SUCK" (you know, unless I am going to back them up with specific reasons why I think they suck – LOL).
This guy apparently has no idea about JJ Abram's involvement with the show either.
I would guess that LOST has about 5 million DIE-HARD fans who know every detail from every season. There are a million blogs and podcasts to start. Even though LOST ratings aren't very high, the number of super-fans probably out-number almost every show.
The closer you follow LOST, the more you enjoy it. That's the bottom line.
And this is why I love this site Doc…you are great at making the die-hards laugh…I am not at all questioning my long-term investment in the show…I love it more now than ever…maybe if the writer was a serious watcher and not casual, she could keep up…loved this post…made me feel like an insider!! Again, something I love about your site!!
Ah, the I-don't-get-the-show-so-it's-stupid Lost haters,
I have people who say things like when I tell them I am a lost fan. There is no problem with expressing your opinion but when people say these things without watching the show or just because they are not attentive enough to understand it, it's just sounds like mindless rants
Also, "three toed statue"? I suppose the author found Sesame street too hard to follow as well.
A woman wrote this who usually covers reality type shows. I couldn't really find anything else she has written or at least consistently written about Lost so her article is kinda strange that she just comes out and tries to blast the show. She obviously doesn't know what she is talking about due to many of her facts are wrong or jumbled. But what the hell usually when a great piece of art gets trashed by the common masses it means the creators are doing something right. Also, if I want to read people who want to trash the show all I have to do is read the comment section over at Darks site.
that's what i was thinking when i popped back over here (my personal Lost-online home) to see what y'all were thinking…
that she doesn't really know or believe what she's saying. Her last line is an invitation to argue with her in the comments section, which leads me to believe that she is just trying to stir up enough emotions to get a lot of attention and gain a reputation through the back door.
So, I didn't leave a comment. But if I had, it would've said,
"Oh ye of little…
FAITH"die hard is right, yo!
I think the folks that cannot follow LOST are the ones who needed Ritalin to function in school…
I love LOST…it the complexity of all of the relationships and mysteries that keep me watching…I'm exhausted and fiending for another episode after it goes off…and this season it the best so far!
How could you not like LOST after that Sawyer and Jack exchange in "Namaste"?
That was classic! -
I saw this a few days ago, signed up with the site and wrote a scathing retort.
I posted the article but it disappeared straightaway, so it seems they don't like criticism.
look, there's a point in what he says, but only if you're not REALY INTO the show.
because, as you said.. you need to get it.
and to do so, you need to do 2 basic things:
1) not to be a retard
2) watch the show, from the start, every fucking episode of iti guess he didn't do one of those things.
she. the author is a she. but you got the rest damn straight.
Sure, everyone's entitled to their opinion. But the best shows are the ones that make you view them again and again. There are plenty (but not enough) complex, detailed, and drawn-out shows that are loved by critics and fans. I love when a good show sets up an idea or story point early in the season and has it play out at the end of the season, or in future seasons. The BEST example of this is "THE WIRE". But plenty of other shows did it well and weren't criticized the way "LOST" is.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICAOne thing I could never STAND in most TV shows, was when I had been watching a particular show for several months or even years, and then all of a sudden, I'd be introduced to some aspect of one of the character's lives that had NEVER been addressed before. A lifelong friend who we've never seen before comes along in one episode and is never seen again… A disease that is found, cured, and forgotten all in one hour. There are countless examples of this crappy story telling.
I LOVE serialized TV. And that is part of what makes LOST so great. We have to watch from the beginning, never miss an episode, and constantly think about what might happen in further episodes. Kinda like an old grandmother watching her soaps.
Most of these people who "Don't get" whats happening on LOST, don't care that much because, to them, its just another TV show that they're gonna forget about in five minutes anyway. Their loss.
You pretty much nail this. The Sopranos is lauded in every corner. The Wire is considered "the best show on television" or a "true American masterpiece". Mad Men and Breaking Bad are now the cornerstones of AMC and recognized as such. Similar praise has followed for the other shows you listed as well.
I think the reason why Lost doesn't get lumped into that list like it deserves to is because it's the only show that is "daring" to tell complex stories on NETWORK television. All of those shows you listed are cable or premium channels. People have a different expectation for HBO or Showtime shows, even FX has some kind reputation now with the Shield, Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck. There hasn't really been a show like this on network television.
In terms of content Lost is a completely different animal than almost any other show. Lost has complicated characters who each have equally complicated personal stories. There is also a mysterious pacific Island which is itself a character of sorts that acts as a canvas for very strange things to occur. The Island has an equally mysterious past and is home to several different groups of mysterious people. So what kind of elements do we have here? The strong multi-faceted characters of the Wire and the Sopranos, the strange occurrences of X Files, the interconnectedness of plotlines and people stretching far and wide of the great mosaic of this show like a soap opera almost. So what kind of show is Lost trying to be? Is it trying to be Battlestar Galactica? Is it trying to be the X Files? Is it trying to be Twin Peaks? Is it trying to be the Sopranos to a certain extent?
The answer to all those questions is yes and no and I think that is PRECISELY why this show is criticized. When "the first" of something comes along sometimes people don't know how to react to it. People want it to be something they've already seen, that way they can predict it and they can know which way it's going. It's a comfort thing more than anything else. Instead of understanding and allowing Lost to be this great marriage of a myriad of different influences (other television shows, books, movies, philosophical and religious ideas) some people want Lost to be something that already has a name. Is this show a drama? Is it a mystery? Is it commentary? Is it sci fi? Is it comedy? Is it tragedy? It's all those things. It's simply "Lost" and that's what some people just will never be able to understand.
And that was much longer than I anticipated. Kudos to anyone who stuck with it.
I'm not even going to waste my time on reading this. I got all I needed to know from one line near the beginning:
"While Abrams may be all about the journey, most of us want our questions answered at the end."
If you want a shoddy narrative and all your questions neatly wrapped up in a single (unsatisfying) package, then may I suggest you tune in to Heroes on Monday night. Me, I like to actually use my brain.
This writer is a moron. I won't waste any more keystrokes beyond that.
Hell no, I'm not questioning anything. Whoever this person is, they're abnormally slow…
my only question on investment is if i should finish buying the dvd's or say screw it and just get it all on blu-ray. or both.

Dutch electronics maker Philips expects double-digit growth in Asian earnings in 2005, despite a sharp decline in consumer electronics prices. Andreas Wente, Philips' president and CEO for Asia Pacific, said the company would focus on higher margin products such as flat-screen televisions. "We have realized double-digit growth in 2004 and that is a momentum we would like to continue in Asia," he said. "Look around, overall GDP is growing 5 to 7 percent in many countries. That momentum will be continued into 2005," Mr. Wente said. His comments come as the earnings of other electronics makers have come under pressure due to plunging prices for key products and intense competition. (AFX)

I am anxiously anticipating my first 5-1-1 and 1-1-1 experiments after reading all the great posts here! haha. Anyway, what is the best way to pull these bags of compressed moss apart and getting them thinned out??? I was thinking about soaking...but was not sure if that would make a big wet mess. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm assuming you mean the compressd bales of peat. If the bale is completely dried out, I pour water into the bag and let it sit for a day or so to make breaking off chunks easier. Then I soak the chunks in a little water in a rubbermaid bin with a lid. The chunks soak up a ton of water before turning into total muck. You just need to get it moist and it will breakup easily. |
I just take a chunk of the peat in my hand and run it back and forth on one of my screens I use for sifting soil. Kinda like using a cheese grater. Just make sure you are standing upwind if there is a breeze. |
I break up and moisten enough to fill a 30 gallon plastic garbage can, which I use for storing it. When I need it I want it to be ready to use. It is only moist, not wet. Al |
The fiasco I went through the other day just to get 1/2 cu ft was too much work! When I broke off pieces...the pieces then needed to be broken a lot more. It was hard to get the lumps out. Sounds like I should get some big pieces and briefly turn the hose on it to moisten...not soak??? thanks to all... |

Gold and bronze hues look wonderful on me, and this has to be the best gold eyeshadow I have ever tried. I can`t believe it`s actually a drugstore brand, it`s that good. The color applies and blends easily, even with fingers, lasts forever, and looks just as it does in the box, a beautiful demure gold. I`ve worn this practically everyday for a year, when finally the product started to ball up into little gobs and became useless. I don`t fault the product for that, I mean that little box has travelled so much in a year, been dropped and abused, and I feel I`ve gotten quite a lot of use from it. I`m on my second box now, and have purchased other hues from this line which are equally lovely.

This is a gorgeous eyeshadow. Quite impressed with a drugstore brand e/s. Reminds me of Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill e/s which is thrice as more expensive. Quality of this e/s is fabulous. Very smooth, easy to blend, highly pigmented, feels like butter when applying and stays put all day. Goldmine is THE BEST shade of gold! It's a gorgeous shade of light, bright gold that isn't tacky yellow but actually gold in colour. It has a sheen but not sparkles (yay). It does brighten up my eyes alot and i love wearing it with an eyeliner and a brown shade in my crease to give a bit of definition/depth. Looks wonderful. Low key and great for everyday wear and party wear. I will buy more colours in these.

Absolutely love this product.
I've only used Shisheido products for eyeshadows that gives creamy glowing looks.. but the $$ is just way expensive and the ones I liked are discontinued. I saw this product while I was travelling in Paris, France. and.. Voila!! Canada has got the best product at better price. already went and bought two more colors.. I own three of them now.. may have to get few more. This glides on prefectly and awesome as a base when adding gold color to the eye lid. Fabulous.

I think this is my favourite colour out of all the infallible eyeshadows and I simply cannot fault any of them. Great pigmentation, staying power and texture. Would only say that it sucks that I can't apply them with a brush (fingers only) but that's a small price to pay for such an outstanding product.

I recently bought four of these Infallible eyeshadows including this shade and am so, so glad I did. I am ecstatic to find pigmented shadows that stay put ALL DAY. I find them highly pigmented BUT at the same time easy to blend and very wearable. This shade is gorgeous, I've never found a better goldeny yellow shade. I have no desire to fork out more $$ for high end shadows anymore, will be sticking to these for the foreseable future.

Since Ive started using these Infallible eye shadows, I cannot go back to other brands anymore. I tried many low or high end products but nothing works perfectly like this line. The Infallible eye shadows are sooooo creamy, buttery, and pigmented. I dont need to keep swiping my lids to make the colors to show up. It works beautifully (when apply with fingers. Brushes just dont work well with these shadows).
Goldmine is my most favorite shade, although its not the most wearable one (well I dont think I can wear this gold to my office during the weekdays). When applied on lids, it is a very liquidy metallic gold, very reflective and brightening. My lids look like soaking with gold liquid. The color tone is more on the yellow side with no orange or brown in it. It also contains small sparkles (but not glitters, which I hate). This is why it may not be an everyday shadow because its too outstanding, but again, I still love it. Very pretty shade for summer and autumn. I cant wait to put it on during weekends.
I normally pair it with dark green or dark blue in the crease and outer V. On my pale skin, this combination looks perfect. I believe it also works well with plum or dark brown. I love gold eyeshadows and I have so many of them. Goldmine is the most perfect one I have found so far.

This is the gold colour that I have been looking for my entire makeup-wearing LIFE!!!!!!!!! I am in LOVE. It's a wonderful texture, extremely pigmented (I'll have this for a long time yay!), and wears beautifully throughout the day and long into the night. This is my perfect colour because it's light and shimmery enough to stand out behind my deep-set eyes (I tried a darker gold but with my eyes open it just looked like any generic dark eyeshadow), it complements my yellow undertones very nicely, and it's perfect for bringing out that bit of yellow in my eyes! Even though this should last me a long while, I will kick myself if I don't go and buy another one or two to stock up!!! I will be trying other colours as well, since I love the formula.
Another bonus is that this is a perfect holiday colour, for Xmas right through New Years!!! As of this moment, this is my Holy Grail

School Bus Thieves Arrested Outside Annapolis
Anne Arundel County Police have arrested two suspects in remarkably bizarre incident involving a stolen public school bus. The bus was reported stolen at about 5:30 in the morning on Tuesday, as school employees reported to the lot to begin their morning student pickup. Employees at the bus lot notified police and school officials as soon as they noticed the missing vehicle. The first concern for both was the safety of the children, as there was fear that the at large bus thieves could try to pick up and perhaps abduct school children. Parents were notified early in the morning and were told not to have their children wait for the bus. After parents were alerted and concerns over the children subsided, police turned their attention to searching for the missing bus. Not surprisingly, a helicopter spotted the stolen bright yellow school bus a few hours after the search commenced. The final resting point was an unpaved access road underneath electrical towers. Further investigation revealed that the bus was badly damaged and there was even evidence the suspects tried to light it on fire before fleeing the scene. Police used surveillance video and information from a witness to locate and apprehend the two suspects in the area where the bus was found. The video reportedly depicted a visibly intoxicated male and female breaking into bus at around 3:30 am and then driving it through the parking lot gate. While it is unclear how they started the bus, police did see evidence that multiple other buses were vandalized before the couple settled on one to take for their joy ride. The suspects are currently in jail and facing numerous criminal charges including theft, burglary, arson, and destruction of property. A preliminary hearing is set on November 5th in the district court in Annapolis.

One of my culinary resolutions for 2010 was to make all of my bread at home. So far I've done great. I haven't bought a single loaf at the store. However, I ran into the problem that Jon wasn't eating it. His excuse was that the beautiful artisan bread wasn't good for sandwiches. I made a couple of white bread loaves for sandwiches, but that didn't work because we love the Nature's Pride 12-grain bread, but the few times that I tried making whole-wheat bread it didn't turn out soft and light, like Jon likes it… until I realized I was doing it all wrong.
I was missing a very important ingredient to make my whole-wheat loaves soft, fluffy and light: gluten. When I read that I could buy gluten separately to make better bread, I literally ran to the store and bought a package of the stuff. Oh my, that's been one of the best decisions this year so far. Now I can make at home whole-wheat bread just like the one they sell at the store. Jon's verdict was that "this is good bread [for sandwiches]".
- •2 cups warm water
- •1 packet of dry active yeast or 2¼ tsp
- •1 TBSP agave syrup or honey
- •6 cups whole-wheat flour
- •2 TBSP olive oil
- •1 tsp salt
- •6-8 tsps gluten
- •2 large eggs
- •1 cup rolled oats
- •1/2 cup ground flexseed
- Mix syrup and warm water together. Add yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Add water and mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Knead for 10 minutes by hand, or 3 minutes at low speed in a mixer and then 5 minutes at medium high speed.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic and let double in size in a warm place (about 50 minutes)
- Punch the dough in the middle and turn it over a lightly floured surface.
- Divide in 2 and, with a rolling pin, roll each half to form a long rectangle.
- Roll the dough tightly to form the loaves. Tuck the ends under the loaves and place them on rectangular bread pans. Cover with plastic and let them rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- With a sharp knife or razor make a long cut along the top of the loaf. Brush water all over the top with a pastry brush.
- Place a baking pan with about 100 ml of water at the bottom shelf of the oven.
- Place loaves in the top shelf and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You know the bread is ready when the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow if you tap the loaves.
- Let them cool down on wire racks before enjoying.
This is only the latest recipe I've come up with using gluten and whole-wheat bread. I get so excited when I am baking a new bread that Jon and the cats look at me like I've finally snapped and gone crazy, but this is how much I've been enjoying my bread and my new KitchenAid mixer. It looks like I am going to be able to keep my resolution of not buying bread at the store this year.
Lamb Update: I mentioned on my last post that I am going to create a lamb dish for a dinner on Sunday. A friend and I have been brainstorming ideas and we are leaning towards roasting a leg. The glaze would be tart/sweet/spicy, but that's still on the works. However, this lamb souvlaki that Peter posted on his blog yesterday looks delicious. I should make a decision by tomorrow, because I need to start shopping soon, before we get another big snow storm…
¡Buen provecho!

It's excellent
Great job Ben. The bread looks beautiful and I bet it's delicious. I've been making my bread at home too. What a difference it makes.
Interesting to note that gluten makes all the difference here…Ben, I have to say the bread looks beautiful. I'd love to see more.
I love this resolution! (So much in fact that it is my resolution as well. The book Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day has revolutionized my life). Gluten is definitely key! This looks fantastic!
what a gorgeous loaf! When you can make such a beautiful bread, there's really no need to buy it anymore!
I can smell that bread through my screen. Mmmmmmm
aha, thats interesting.. my home-made whole wheat bread rarely compares to the store-bought one.. may be I should try the added gluten. Do you find it in regular supermarkets? thanks for sharing.
Beautiful photography as always, Ben! I'm a recent convert to vital wheat gluten in bread baking, too.
PJ, larger supermarkets should have vital wheat gluten in small boxes near the flour. The brand I usually see is Hodgson's Mill.
This looks fantastic ! I'm going to try it, but in my bread maker …
I learned something new today Ben.

"I lose a lot of sleep over this," Dr. Patricia Gabow, Denver Health's CEO and medical director, told the media last month.
Gabow and other Denver Health executives won't need to worry about their own financial health, however. Their salaries have escalated dramatically since 1996, when the Denver Department of Health and Hospitals was spun off from the City of Denver and turned into Denver Health, a quasi-independent public agency. Gabow's paycheck, for example, increased from $218,026 in 1996 to $426,030 this year.
Almost all of the dozen executives running Denver Health have held the same job for several years -- and like Gabow, almost all of them have enjoyed huge wage hikes over the past five years. Stephanie Thomas, Denver Health's chief operating officer, saw her salary jump from $85,321 in 1996 to $264,597 today. Frank Barrett, the chief financial officer, went from $134,676 to $208,389. Human resources chief Steve Adriaanse -- whose department conducts the surveys Denver Health now uses to set salaries -- watched his compensation rise from $94,808 in 1996 to $161,470. Over the same period, Chief Nursing Officer Tom Drury's salary shot up to $167,906 from a modest $72,188.
Several other Denver Health executives now enjoy salaries well above those of public officials with higher-profile positions. Denver Health's general counsel, Darlene Ebert, makes $187,209 supervising a staff of about a half-dozen lawyers. In contrast, Denver City Attorney Wallace Wortham Jr. makes $120,780 and supervises over 200 employees. Franklyn Judson, who is in charge of the department of public health, makes $250,605; his counterpart with the State of Colorado, Ned Calonge, makes just $170,000.
Mayor Wellington Webb is paid $110,000 per year, while Governor Bill Owens collects a paltry $90,000.
When Denver Health was a city department, the Denver Career Service Authority set its salaries based on annual wage surveys. Now Denver Health conducts its own salary survey to determine top executives' wages, which officials insist reflect the going rate for medical-center execs at comparable institutions.
"We adhere to a market-based compensation philosophy," says Adriaanse. "We look at like positions in like institutions."
According to Adriaanse, Denver Health sets salaries after collecting data on wages at a variety of similar institutions, determining the lowest and highest salaries typically offered for each position and then setting a salary level in the middle of that range. "We survey the fiftieth percentile, which is where we want our salaries to be," he says.
Gabow's salary is below average for someone who serves as both CEO and medical director, Adriaanse notes. Stephanie Thomas was promoted and given additional duties after Denver Health was spun off from the city, he adds, and executives like Judson are also doctors on the medical staff, meaning they are paid a physician's salary in addition to a manager's.
Salaries for health-care executives vary widely, depending on the size of the hospital; whether it serves an urban or rural area; and whether it's for profit, a nonprofit or a public system. Denver Health includes a major medical center and a system of about twenty clinics around the city.
But no matter what the size of their institutions, most top hospital officials have seen their salaries soar. "Health-care executives are enjoying more robust salary increases than the average corporate executive," reported Modern Healthcare magazine in July 2001. According to the publication, the average compensation for a hospital CEO was $270,000, although that figure included small rural hospitals that pulled down the average. (It is not unusual for CEOs of large, multi-hospital systems to make as much as $700,000.) This past January, Healthcare Financial Management Magazine reported that the average annual salary for a hospital's chief financial officer was $186,118.
The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center is charged with caring for uninsured patients who live outside of Denver; University Hospital is the only local hospital that would be comparable to Denver Health, since it's publicly owned and has a similar mission. Dennis Brimhall, University's CEO, earns $404,000 per year. University pays its vice president and general counsel, Allen Staver, $177,000; the vice president for human resources, Donna Koeppel, pulls down $165,000; and Forrest Cason, vice president for finance, makes $231,000.
Denver Health has told city officials that the hospital will need to expand as the number of hospital beds in Denver shrinks, due to the impending departure of University Hospital and Children's Hospital to the Fitzsimons campus in Aurora. While Denver Health is now a public authority and not directly tied to the city, Denver still provides 8 percent of its $400 million operating budget, as well as funding much of the construction of its facilities. In fact, Denver officials are now evaluating a possible $150 million bond issue to expand Denver Health's hospital at Speer Boulevard and Eighth Avenue.
The big money being handed out to Denver Health executives has raised the temperature of at least one Denver City Council member. "Those are stratospheric salaries that are so far out of my league I can't comprehend it," says Ed Thomas. "How could there possibly be any justification for quadrupling a person's salary? I'm dumbfounded."

Life insurance update — March 2013
By Steve Savant
Ash Brokerage Corporation
Every month carriers release product updates and transition rules to keep up their market share. There are just too many for one show. But Steve and Jessica address the market trendsetters that are making the news. Jessica also highlights one of Steve's blogs, "How can you keep more money safe for retirement?" Here's an excerpt:
"There are four pickpocket factors that can reduce your retirement income: retirement plan expenses, ordinary income taxes, inflation and market losses. All retirement plans have expenses taken out during the plan's contribution and distribution periods. It's important to realize that total expenses paid over a lifetime can be significant and drain your retirement plan, resulting in less income.
Ordinary income taxes can also rob a retiree of their income when they need it most. The tax deduction offered with 401(k)s is a great savings plan if you're in a high tax bracket. But most Americans pay taxes at the marginal tax rate, so they may be inadvertently trading a small tax break today for a larger tax bill tomorrow. Qualified plan income like 401(k)s, IRAs and other pensions are taxed at ordinary income rates and are used to calculate whether your Social Security benefits are taxed as well. Most Americans pay ordinary income tax on both, resulting in less income.
Inflation devalues your dollar and reduces its purchasing power for necessary living expenses, extra nights on the town and out of town vacations. Savings accounts in CDs and money markets are safe, but they don't return enough interest to beat inflation and maintain your money's purchasing power. Most advisors agree: you have to be in the market to beat inflation. But what about market risk? No one has forgotten the pain of the market meltdown of 2008."

Does anyone happen to know when the next Knox Co Master Gardener classes are scheduled to start? I checked the extension website, but couldn't find anything listed. |

- Posted by amazindirt z7 ETN (My Page) on Wed, Mar 19, 08 at 0:21
They're having a session of classes right now, unless it's finished already. Unfortunately, it's VERY hard to get the attention of the extension agent David Vandergriff. |
- Posted by positivemom (My Page) on Thu, Mar 20, 08 at 14:16
Thanks, amazindirt. FYI for others .... I called the office, and the lady I spoke with said that the next class probably won't start until early next year. |
If you can't get into the master gardener program you should look at enrolling in plant science 101 or other similar classes @ UT or Walter State. I know it is more expensive to take college classes but you can start sooner and probably learn more too. I'm admittedly not a huge fan of the MG program though so my advice should be taken with a grain of salt. |
- Posted by positivemom (My Page) on Fri, Mar 21, 08 at 13:13
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the MG program? And what kinds of topics does PS101 cover? |

couldnt be happier I am so happy that I went with this rug pad. I was researching others but this had the best reviews and just bought it. Arrived quickly and did have a weird chemical smell, but that went away within a couple hours. So, no more smell and rug stays put...no complaints here.

Very Durable Pad! I couldn't be more pleased with a rug pad than this one. I checked it carefully when it arrived. The workmanship was high quality and I knew that the pad would not pull apart under an 8 X 10 jute rug. Jute rugs can really do a number on a pad but after a couple weeks of high traffic and a quick check, nothing had moved or pulled apart.. The pad is durable and makes my new rug look even better, thicker. It feels like a comfort mat. The price was a great value and there is such a significant difference in comfort from another rug pad that I have under another rug that I may replace that one with this particular mat. Thanks Again, Overstock!

Questions & Answers
Hello aquafit, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
Should the size of the pad be smaller than the rug or the same size? If smaller, how much smaller?
Hello lanie3, most rug pads that I've seen are just a few inches shorter on each side compared to the actual rug. Thank you for shopping with us!
Needs to be smaller. I trimmed mine about 3 inches smaller on each side of my area rug. If you leave it the same size, it holds up the rug edge. I found with trimming it (my area rug is size 9x11) back so it was 3 inches smaller on each side that the rug laid over it very nicely
Is the rubber synthetic or natural. It says both in the very confusing description?
Thank you for your question, lmaepo. The rubber used in the Supreme Felted Dual Surface Rug Pad (8' x 11') is an all-natural SBR Rubber/Latex. Have a great day.
It is felt with rubber backing and I'm guessing about 1/8 inch thick
I have a 8'6x12 rug - what size pad should I get?
Hello habermom, The item #13457620 you have been looking at would work great. You want a few inches of the rug to overlap the padding, and you can always cut back the pad if necessary. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com; let us know if you have any additional questions.
Is this pad ok for hard wood floors? No gassing off to hurt wood floors?
This pad works very well on my hardwood floors.
I put it on my bamboo floors and it has been fine-no odor or off gassing
I have mine on hard wood floors and it hasn't damaged them.
I bought a flat weave wool rug that has no backing slips around easily on ceramic tile floors, will this keep the rug from slipping and make it more plush looking?
This rug pad is great for carpet or hard-surfaces and prevents dangerous bunching and slipping.
Can you please tell me the thickness of this particular pad? I see others listed on Overstock that say 1/4 inch thick, but this one does not say. Thank you
This pad is approximately 5/16 of an inch thick.
material contents and ticknes not described
The rug pad is made of polypropylene and synthetic rubber and the thickness is approx 5/16".

Mendley should store current session somewhere and should reopen all the opened files if it crashes or gets shutdown accidently.
If a computer gets shutdown accidentally or user closes mendley by mistake ,all the files he had opened to read are gone. When user restarts mendeley , he has to search for all the files and has to open all the files which he was reading one by one. I request you to introduce a session storage facility in which mendeley will store all the information about the current session. And when reopened, it would automatically open all the files that were opened at the time of shutting down mendeley. If the user is closing the application himself, it should ask the user that if he wants to store the current session. If Mendeley shuts down accidentally then it should automatically save all the info of current session. It would also help those researchers who are reading two papers about two topics at a time. They will be able to save two sessions separately and can restart all over from the place they left before closing mendeley.

Seems no progress in this direction. As Mendeley crashes quite often (Linux Mint), it would be quite a useful feature.

This would be a great help since I conduct research on a laptop that is used for other work. I close all research applications before going to work, a session manager would help me to restore the last point of access.

Titanfall Second And Third DLC Coming Around September And December.
On the occasion of an interview with CVG within the E3 , Vince Zampella, co-founder of the studio, announced that three packs of DLC are scheduled for Titanfall . The first Expedition is already available since May , while the second and third DLC packs are expected to arrive in September and December respectively.
"We have three DLC packs coming, one of which has been released already. The next one should come in three months, and then the last one three months after that, approximately. We have free updates that we're doing also, like the next one which adds two new game modes, voice packs and Titan emblems,"
At the same time, new free updates will be deployed to continue to provide additional content to all players, this would include new game modes, voice, emblems.
I've been looking forward to this. I haven't played Titanfall in well over a month, so this should be enough to pull me back into the fold.
