I need help finding an herbal alternative. I have issues with stress, anxiety, and depression to a point that it's affecting my marriage and my interactions with others. Over the weekend a friend came over and while she was here she gave me some medication telling me that it would calm me. To be honest I felt the calming effect of marijuana without the high. My wife said while I was on the medication I was "cool". When I asked the friend what she gave me she told me it was Lorcet Plus. After searching online I discovered that is a narcotic pain medication consisting of hydrocodone and acetiminophen. I don't want to take pain pills and risk becoming addicted to them and I thought for sure there would be an herb or two that would provide me with this same calming effect without taking illegal narcotics or developing an addiction! Please help!!! |

First of all - what about the rest of your lifestyle. Nothing - legal, illegal, pharmaceutical or herbal - can compensate for a crappy lifestyle. 1 - Do you get adequate sleep and a regular schedule? Let me know what the lifestyle is like and I'll help you adjust it, and give you the names of some herbs that will help get you under control so you can get the lifestyle you need for less stress and anxiety. |
try taking fish oil daily. I have ADHD and this calms me down. Exercise is another thing you might need. There is an amount of exercise for altering mood, and it is every bit as good as most drugs. The main side effects are you sleep better, look better, and calm down. Generally the amount you need is 20 minutes a day to start of fairly brisk walking, swimming, weight lifting, running, whatever you want to do to keep moving. As the Buddhists say, magnify small progress. The next thing is B vitamins. These are essential for nerve function. The 50mg doses might be a good idea for you. Also you need magnesium to make them work. Good sleep is not possible to any real extent if you have mineral deficiencies. Take a calcium/magnesium suppliment before bed. The amounts for both should be about equal. 500mg or so. Make sure you are getting enough B12. This can take some experimentation, as many people do not digest it well. Start looking at what you do and find out what you need for your lifestyle in terms of all the vitamins. Food no longer supplies those because the soil is depleted, and plants can't give you what they don't get themselves. This is true of animals as well. You will find that your life is oh so much more bearable if you do these things. |
lazygardens has given you excellent advice. Regular exercise especially can release endorphins in the body to relieve stress and give you a "high" of sorts, much better for you than any pharmaceutical or herbal drug. Changing your diet to include lots more fruits and vegetables may or may not improve your mood, but it'll be good for you and you won't need to take vitamin supplements. Recent research suggests that taking excess vitamins may actually increase the risk of cancer or other diseases. I have never seen any good evidence that modern agricultural soils are "depleted" of nutrients...if they were, crops wouldn't grow altogether (and some modern varieties have even been bred to be higher in vitamin or antioxidant content). Grow your own and you can take advantage of this, plus getting exercise and sunshine (in moderation). |
i like the nutritional supplements recommended here. in addition try a tea of lavender, rosemary, catnip and chamomile, works great. |

Sleiber: From my perspective, there are a few conditions you may have that contribute to these undesirable mental states. For instance, there can be problems in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It can be a weakness in the neuroendocrine systems, too. It could be a Yin deficiency which would have accompanying symptoms of worry, excess thirst for water, hunger pains several times a day, hianal hernia, acid reflux, dreaming a lot, etc. This dryness of mucous membranes can cause your mental state. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. If the above suggestions by the other posters don't work, you would need a professional evaluation to determine what's at the bottom of it all. theherbalist2012 |

Description: This event introduced the "The Cost of Being Landlocked" book and featured presentations by notable experts on this topic from the World Bank and the U.S. International Trade Commission. The case of Landlocked Developing Countries has received special attention for decades, including a specific set of development priorities based on the idea of dependence over the transit state. Efforts to tackle the cost of being landlocked have been mainly directed to ensure or facilitate freedom of transit through regional/multilateral conventions, and to develop regional transport infrastructure. In contrast, analysis of service delivery constraints has been seriously neglected and could explain the disappointing implementation of regional transit agreements and massive investments in corridors for exports diversification in landlocked economies. Based on extensive data collection in several regions of the world, the "Cost of Being Landlocked" argues that although landlocked developing countries do face high logistics costs, these do not result from poor road infrastructure - contrary to conventional wisdom-since transport prices mainly depend on trucking market structure and organization. In turn, high logistics costs depend on low logistics reliability and predictability, which are sensitive to rent-seeking and governance issues.

With the tech fair drawing to a close today (Saturday), TabTimes looks at what the show meant for future devices and the trends you'll see as we approach 2014.
Hi-res displays are the new normal
It doesn't seem that long ago that 1280 x 800 resolution displays were all the rage in the tablet industry.
How times have changed. Thanks in part to the iPad's Retina Display and the less-acclaimed Nexus 10, hi-res screens are now just part and parcel of a premium tablet, an expected product feature.
Research firm Witsview recently claimed that vendors have shifted their focus away from hi-res tablet screens in 2013, but I'd say that Computex put them back on the front burner.
Asus and Toshiba were just two vendors announcing tablets with HD IPS (for wide-ranging 178 degree viewing angles) 2560 x 1600 resolution displays, while Microsoft revealed during the event that Windows 8.1 devices with Qualcomm chips will support up to 2560 x 2048.
Given all this, and further display innovation supposedly coming on the iPad mini 2, Nexus 11, Samsung and others, it's suffice to say that 1280 x 800 no longer cuts it.
Does anyone want to buy a premium Android tablet?
Like it or not, Android is at the budget-end of the tablet market and the days of those "premium" Android slates are over.
Consumers tend to keep their wallet in their pocket when it comes to spending $400 for an Android tablet for a couple of reasons. First, most knowledgeable buyers know that there is a good chance that their new tablet will be out of date and running an older version of Android before too long. Second, why would they spend that much when you could pick up a Kindle Fire, Nexus 7 or now Asus' Memo Pad 7 for significantly cheaper?
The expected arrival of the $329 Iconia W3 – the first 8-inch Windows 8 tablet, a similar model from Lenovo and a cheaper iPad mini hardly helps Android's cause.
Either way, someone clearly failed to get the memo to Toshiba, which this week announced three new models, which range from the "budget" $299 Excite Pure to the $600 Excite Write. Little wonder then that Toshiba remains a niche player in the tablet space.
Mozilla to breathe new life into tablets
The nascent Windows 8 aside, the tablet market has been a duopoly between Android and iOS since its reincarnation in 2010.
That's not actually been a bad thing for choice. After all, Android is an open ecosystem and has been customized by various vendors, who have done everything from develop their own UI skin to release their own apps and widgets.
And it's good to see new players on the scene, trying to offer new choices when it comes to mobile operating systems.
A few months ago Ubuntu announced its first version for tablets. Now Firefox is the new kid on the block, apparently working with Foxconn on five devices, including a tablet.
It's yet to be seen which OEM vendors will back the Firefox OS – which will probably be geared towards emerging markets – but it's still good to see that the tablet market is open to new players, choice and fresh innovation.
(Mozilla showed off prototype phones and a tablet running the Firefox OS at Computex. Image: CNET)
Beefy phablets could soon compete with tablets
Where does the phablet stop when it comes to screen size? Asus announced the 6-inch FonePad Note at the show (a 3G device with a 1920 x 1080 resolution display, Intel Atom Z2560 chip and dual-facing cameras) and earlier this year announced a similar device with a 7-inch screen. At Computex, Acer unveiled the 5.7-inch Liquid S1, which has two SIM cards opening it up for enterprise data.
What with previous models having come from Samsung and others, as well as talk of future models coming from Google's Motorola and BlackBerry, one has to question the role of the phablet.
For instance, would a 6-inch phablet make consumers swerve away from considering a 7-inch tablet? We'll have to wait and see.
Multi-OS tablets are a hard sell
You've got to hand it to Asus for tablet innovation. The company is clearly open to trying new ideas and concepts (also see the launch of the Transformer AIO earlier this year), and that extended to the Transformer Book Trio at Computex.
As the name infers, the Trio is a three-in-one device which can be used as a desktop, laptop or 11.6-inch tablet. Hybrid tablets are not overly unique but here's the killer feature – it can run both Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and Windows 8.
Asus says that users will be able to synchronize data between platforms to enjoy a "smooth transition" between each mode.
Sadly, multi-OS tablets have nearly always been a hard sell and confined to a niches. Of the better-known vendors, ViewSonic tried the same with the ViewPad 10, which has since been discontinued.
The problem with complex hybrid tablets is customer confusion. Most buyers have an idea what they will use their tablet for, but that's hard to see when you have a compromise device that blurs the lines in terms of form factor and platform.
Intel remains a key player
New CEO Brian Krzanich admits that Intel has been pretty slow to react to the rise of the tablet, but it may well be that Computex was a turning point for the firm.
Samsung announced that its new 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 3 would be powered by an Intel chip – an unusual move considering past designs have run Samsung's own ARM-based designs – while Intel took the wraps off the new Haswell, Bay Trail and Merrifield processors.
The latter is aimed at enabling super-powerful smartphones, but the new Core (codenamed "Haswell") and Atom ("Bay Trail") chips will likely power newer — and possibly cheaper– hybrid slates.
Intel said at Computex that it is working on 30 tablets and said that Bay Trail Atom hybrid tablets could sell for as cheap as $399 this upcoming holiday season.
But these models could soon be headed for even lower price points. Recently departed CEO Paul Otellini suggested recently that convertible $200 tablets would be possible in future, and another exec followed suit at Computex.
"We believe we can push it well below the $199 price point," Hermann Eul, VP and general manager of Intel's Mobile and Communications Group told IDG News.

First of the three patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) of the people of Israel and father of faith in the one God. He is revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Born in Ur of the Chaldees (Mesopotamia) to a family of idol worshippers, he eventually settled in Canaan in response to God's call.
Tradition makes Abraham a paragon of various desirable traits: kindness or grace, absolute trust in God (notwithstanding challenges he put to God), love of fellow human beings, hospitality, pursuit of justice, and humility. Tradition also names him as the one who instituted (morning) prayer. God sealed two covenants with Abraham: one, of nationhood, including the promise of Canaan for his descendants; the other, of faith, expressed in the circumcision rite.
Abraham is the patron of proselytes to Judaism, as both he and his wife, Sarah, were themselves proselytes who brought others into the Jewish fold; hence, newly converted Gentiles are often named "the son of Abraham" or "the daughter of Sarah."

Our all-natural, earthy concept is mirrored in our NAIL GIRL logo (See photo on left ). The NAIL GIRL logo is over-capped by a large, green fern leaf - a distinct symbol of Mother Nature - reflecting our commitment to practicing only natural and traditional nail, feet and hand beauty treatments.
We also concentrate on offering truly skin-nourishing treatments like THE NAIL GIRL SIGNATURE FOOT SPA. Our house specialty - the Foot Spa - only makes use of premier and natural-based scrubs and lotions and crystal mud foot bath. The combination of premier and natural-based scrubs and lotions and crystal mud foot bath results in THE NAIL GIRL SIGNATURE FOOT SPA being a highly effective smoothening and softening treatment for hard, dry, cracked and abused feet.
Why Wax?
- Leaves legs and arms looking beautifully smoother, shinier & sexier…- Lasting results… arms and legs remain hairless and silky-smooth for 3-4 weeks on average- Look and feel confident, sexy and all-woman in your knee-length skirts and sleeveless tops!- Over time, thick and coarse hair becomes finer, softer and less visible..
The NailGirl Deliciously Luxuriant Waxing Treatment is a waxing treat like no other! To prepare arms or legs for waxing, a Green Tea & Jojoba Pearl exfoliating scrub is first used for an energetic massage into the skins' surface. This is to prevent the hot wax from gaining direct contact with the skin: wax only adheres to the hair instead of the skin, thus allowing a smooth and painless (relatively!) waxing experience. Following this unique cleansing, a comfortably warm and fruity Azulene Pine wax is then evenly applied onto the skins' surface, and muslin strips are then used to quickly remove unsightly hairs from the body. Excess wax residue is then removed with the use of an oil-based cleanser.

Jul 10, 2013 9:37 AM by Associated Press
LONDON (AP) - The Guardian journalist at the center of a series of revelations about the National Security Agency's sweeping surveillance programs says his source, Edward Snowden, told him he never gave any information to the Russian or Chinese governments.
Glenn Greenwald says in an article published Wednesday on the Guardian's website that he spoke to Snowden over the weekend and on Tuesday and that the leaker "vehemently denied" rumors that his data had been acquired by Moscow or Beijing.
Greenwald quotes him as saying that "I never gave any information to either government, and they never took anything from my laptops."
Critics of Snowden's leaks have often wondered at his relationship with Chinese or Russian authorities.
Greenwald did not say where Snowden is or where he is expected to go.

For the latest news on the Biogenesis front, Getting Blanked re-enlisted the help of Fraser MacKinnon Blair (@fmblair on Twitter) to help us wade through the latest revelations and what they could mean for the players involved.
During his annual All-Star game news conference, Major League Baseball Player's Association chief Michael Weiner provided some updates regarding Major League Baseball's ongoing investigation into a number of players connected to Anthony Bosch and the Biogenesis clinic.
Weiner passed on a couple of interesting points regarding the nature of the (likely) forthcoming suspensions in connection to the Biogenesis investigation.
Does this change anything related to the enforcement of the Joint Drug Policy and Prevention Program?

Off duty officer helps nab robbery suspect
NISKAYUNA - An off duty Schenectady police officer assists in the arrest of a man who is accused of robbing a Trustco Bank.
Niskayuna police say 31-year-old Robert Costello of Watervliet entered the Trusco Bank at 3641 State Street Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. With his face covered, he handed the teller a note demanding money. He did not display a weapon, and Costello left the bank without any cash.
An off duty Schenectady police officer noticed Costello leaving the bank and followed him to a Schenectady house. When officers arrived, Costello was arrested after trying to flee from the back door of house.
Costello is charged with attempted robbery and attempted grand larceny.
He was arraigned in Niskayuna Town Court and sent to Schenectady County Jail without bail.
Costello's next court date is in April.

I haven't called my appliance center yet, but I'm thinking about doing this depending on the price. My SO scratched one of the burners badly enough that it can't be filled/wiped away. I'm so raving upset.... Just wondering if anyone's done this and how it went and if the cost was worth it. My oven is a GE Profile oven/convection with glass ceramic top. |

When I was looking to replace the glass on my Frigidaire cooktop the glass alone was $260. I never did do it. As to whether it's worth it, I guess that depends on how visible it is (without hood lights on, when you're not using it?) If it's not going to bother anyone but you I'd live with it and be almost relieved you got the first blemish out of the way and don't have to obsess so much over keeping it pristine. ;) By the way, how did you do it? I'm convinced my new range is far more sensitive than my old cooktop. My mom's GE shows zero signs of use from (I'm guessing) about 5 years of daily use, my old Frigidaire was good until I broke a corner off, but my new Bosch seems to get a new permanent blemish every time I use it. I'm so over it, and it's only 2.5 months old. |
You Tube has a lot of basic hints on changing the Ceran cooking surface and changing actual burners too. If yours is more modern, it might require a special screwdriver or two as well. Poke around and see if something like yours is shown being worked on. This might be worth trying first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb0pvAxlZx4 |

foodonastump, it happened because my boyfriend shook a cast iron skillet on it. He used to be a professional chef so you can imagine how incredulous I was that he did this. It was no 'accident'!! I've had this cooktop for 7 years without even a hint of a scratch. I've been super careful with it and it has seemed very durable. So this episode was really the pits to see.\ :-( Laat2, I will look at the video but I'm not very good with DIY stuff of this sort. I think a new top would cost nearly $1000 so I'm leaning toward not doing it. Someone mentioned using a kind of motor oil which can reduce the visibility of scratches, I may look into that first. |
- Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Thu, Nov 7, 13 at 7:47
I don't think it will be anywhere near $1000, but call. They should be able to quote over the phone. I watched one of the videos Laat2 posted, and a suggested video under it shows how to get rid of scratches using metal polish. Can't hurt to try. Shaking cast iron (Griswold and Lodge) didn't affect by old cooktop but superficially. I wouldn't try it on my new range. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Metal polish
Will try both. As for shaking the cast iron on the glass ceramic top, it's always possible there was some salt underneath or ? who knows |

What did you end up doing? My "big" burner in my Kitchenaide 36" cooktop went out and when the guy pulled it out to replace the element.... he cracked the whole thing in two pieces, with a shrug and a "it must have had a crack'. There was NO crack, I clean it all the time, so I get good and close to it. Likewise, the repair is $615 for new top, labor and the originally needed element. A whole new cooktop is 1300ish. Not sure what to do. I actually took out a gas cooktop to put it in, bc I had young children and one with a disability and felt it was safer under those circumstances, but I love mine. Stays so clean, not forever lifting heavy burners to clean all the crud out under them. I for sure am staying smooth top, but not sure whether to buy a new unit or repair. |

Speed up your gameplay with key bindings and macros
While many tout using the mouse for speedy gameplay, you can't overlook the power of the keyboard. While moving and turning is most quickly done with a mouse, it's a slow way to activate spells or open menus, so if you want to speed up your game, it's a good idea to learn WoW's default keyboard shortcuts as well as how to make your own key bindings and macros. We'll cover the basics and help you get started.
WoW's keyboard shortcuts
You may be surprised to see how much you can control with your keyboard. The first step to keyboard mastery is by opening up WoW's key binding interface. Just hit your escape key to open up the game menu and then select Key Bindings. Now, we aren't going to mention every key binding in WoW here, because as you scroll through this menu you'll see there are a lot of them.

How to Treat a Volunteer Different Than an Employee
What is the definition of a volunteer? Federal law, under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), defines individuals that provide services without any expectation of compensation and without any coercion or intimidation, as "volunteers" (non-employees). The opposite is true concerning an employee as they are compensated and regulated within reason.
1Never compensate a volunteer. A volunteer does their service without any thought of what in it for them. There sole purpose is to benefit the cause and not themselves.Ad
2Do not use coercion on a volunteer. Coercion means restraint, to restrict or to force someone to do something. Avoid threats, verbal abuse, intimidation or use of fear.
3Always remember that volunteers are giving their own time. They cannot be regulated with a set time schedule for this could mean a cross over into an employee status or under ground economy.
4Don't allow back of the room sales and dealers rooms where volunteers collect money for selling their products. It could be considered compensation and make them employees.
5Learn what is considered compensation. You don't want to have a non-profit event and have it turn into a vendor fair for the vendor's personal gain. This could cause problems for compensation is that which is given or serves as an equivalent for service. A volunteer has no thought of receiving something back for their service. It is freely given for the good of their heart.
6Give freely if you are a volunteer. Heartfelt service is not for the sake of any personal gain.
7Understand that employees are usually to be compensated on a regular scheduled time.
8Recognize that employees can be scheduled. You do have more control over their work and time unlike a volunteer which you do not. In conclusion it is best to seek an attorney to prevent crossing the line and getting yourself in a lot of trouble. Subcontracting has very clear rules also and can easily get you in trouble. Seek out the laws and be safe.Ad

How do we stay in a place of joy when it seems as if circumstances or people around us are falling apart?
Pam Slim, master coach and blogger extraordinaire, has posted a beautiful quote about staying in our center, in our place of joy and calm, when the people or the circumstances around us are in turmoil. It's from The Power of Myth, by Joseph Campbell, the brilliant and gentle scholar of mythology and religion who wrote so movingly about the archetypal stories that connect us throughout cultures, nations, time, religions, indeed all of humanity.

Safety and Surge Immunity Requirements
for Indoor and Outdoor LED Lighting
Applications The adoption rate of safety and surge immunity standards such as IEC/EN 62560 and IEC/EN61547 for LED retrofit lamps and other IEC/EN requirements for outdoor and commercial LED lighting is forecasted to grow substantially over the coming years. Businesses and local governments are now requiring electrical protection in their bid packages.
A retrofit LED lamp connected to AC mains can be damaged by short circuit and overload conditions. In addition surges or load switching transients create voltage spikes or ring waves that can stress and damage components.
Outdoor LED luminaires are far more susceptible to lightning induced transients and must contain robust coordinated electrical protection for surge levels as outlined in IEC61000-4-5 and IEC/EN 61643-11. Given that the value proposition for LED lighting is not only lower energy usage, but longer lifetimes, it will be crucial that transient voltage protection is taken into account in addition to safety.

All-district golfer Austin Hamilton completed the transition from the fairway to the tennis court by winning the individual Central District title last week at Meadowbrook High School. He later paired with Andrew Thagard in posting a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Thomas Dale teammates Min Im and Robert Long.
Austin will join Matoaca's Stephen Bond as regional qualifiers, while both Dale doubles teams will also advance. By virtue of their team title, the Knights will also move on as a team, where they will face James River in the first round.
Coach Cory Neal's Knights got off to a slow start, falling early on to Matoaca. Hamilton also lost early season matches to both Prince George and Matoaca.
"He really hasn't played much tennis prior to this year," Neal said of Austin's early season struggles. "He did come back to avenge both losses, winning 8-2 and 8-3 in the second meetings."
Speaking of the loss to Matoaca, Neal went on: "Things were rolling along quite nicely and then we just lost focus in falling 5-4. It was a real wake-up call for us and was a motivating factor in handling the Warriors 9-0 in the next outing."
Hamilton was named Player of the Year, while Neal took Coach of the Year in voting conducted by the district coaches.

Whoever ate here and made that review is either without tastebuds or incredibly high!! My steak was smothered in what the restaurant called bernaise suace. It tasted like a fifth grader made it with a recipe for lemon play-doh by mistake. You could not taste the steak through the lemon mush! The fries were fine, though more worthy of Mcdonalds than a real french brasserie! Unfortunately we went there because of this review, but we seemed to be the last people in denver who realized how bad this place was, as no one else was in there at 8pm on a saturday night. I will spare you the cruxification of the rest of the apps, salads, and entrees we had, suffice it to say everything here was mediocre to disgusting and it is best to spend your money elsewhere. On a positive note, they did realize their food was not good and comped us our entrees, but as they remained uneaten, due to disgustingness it seemed reasonable. DO NOT GO HERE!
Best Steak Frites Denver 2009 - Brasserie Felix - CLOSED
There's not much in this world that's as comforting as a perfectly done plate of steak frites. And in this town, there's no better plate of steak frites than the one coming from Brasserie Felix's kitchen. Good thing, too, because if a restaurant calling itself a brasserie can't knock this classic of comfort-French gastronomy out of the park, it had better just lock its doors. Instead, you'll want to hurry through those doors for an order, which includes a beautifully done eight-ounce flatiron with a silky béarnaise that mixes wonderfully with the steak juice, as well as a pile of nice frites, blanched and fried. Though it's nothing more than a piece of beef, a dab of sauce and some fried potatoes, this steak frites is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Henry - Adopted!!!, a Quentin Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Feist dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Feist for sale in Quentin, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Feist dog from a breeder in Quentin.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Quentin already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Quentin breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Feist breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Feist rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Quentin paves the way for another one to be saved.

Uncharted 3 out on November 1, 2011 – watch the full reveal trailer
December 12, 2010 by Sahil Dino
Filed under News, Playstation 3, Video
The recently announced Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception now has a release date: November 1, 2011.
The date was confirmed at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, held yesterday. The game's full debut trailer was also aired, showing an isolated Nathan Drake in a vast desert (the Rub Al-Khali), as well as snippets of action from other areas. It also featured a cameo from Victor "Sully" Sullivan.
You can view the impressive trailer below. According to Naughty Dog, the trailer is "all from in-engine + actual gameplay".
Forza 4 announced, coming fall 2011
December 12, 2010 by Sahil Dino
Filed under News, Xbox 360
In a surprise announcement, Forza Motorsport 4 was officially revealed at yesterday's Video Game Awards.
While the debut trailer mostly showed live racing footage, there was a small glimpse of the feature debuted at this year's E3, where players can walk round a car and find out facts about different parts.
Though no other details, except a release window of "fall 2011″, were mentioned, it is presumed that Forza 4 will make use of both traditional racing controls and the Kinect motion sensor.
The debut trailer follows below.

December 12, 2010 by Sahil Dino
Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
Well this wasn't much of a surprise. Prototype 2 was yesterday announced at the Spike TV Video Game Awards.
Developed by Radical Entertainment, the game will follow Sgt. James Heller on his hunt to destroy the first game's protagonist, Alex Mercer.
The reveal trailer explains Heller's motivations and also features substantial gameplay footage towards the end.
The game launches in 2012. No release platforms have been confirmed, but PS3,360 and PC would be a safe bet, considering that the original game appeared on all three platforms.

Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Video, Xbox 360
The first full trailer of Batman: Arkham City, which was announced at last year's VGAs, was aired during this year's show, yesterday.
The CG trailer introduces villain Professor Hugo Strange who, as it turns out, has command over not only the SWAT force, but the whole of Arkham City.
With Harley Quinn, The Riddler, Jack Ryder, Victor Zsasz, Calendar Man and The Joker all also confirmed to feature, there seems to be no lack of supervillains in Arkham City.
The Rocksteady title will release next fall for PC, PS3 and 360.

No release window or platforms were confirmed.

Del Toro's "Insane" releases in 2013
December 12, 2010 by Sahil Dino
Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
As promised, Guillermo del Toro stepped onto the stage at yesterday's Spike VGAs to officially reveal "Insane", a title he is helming with the help of THQ's Volition Studio.
The game is still a long way out and will release in 2013.
While del Toro has previously said this of the game, "It's horror…but it's a very different type of horror game. It's not survival horror. It's truly a strange, geeky mix. It's a Lovecraftian thing", the reveal trailer shed very little light on the famed film director's first video game project.
The rather strange trailer follows below:
Resistance 3 gets release date
December 12, 2010 by Sahil Dino
Filed under News, Playstation 3
Resistance 3, announced at Gamescom this year, will release on September 6, 2011.
The date was confirmed at the end of the title's premiere trailer at the Spike TV Video Game Awards. The trailer offered a first look at the alternate history shooter's gameplay, interspersed with live-action footage showing protagonist Joe Capelli and Dr. Malikov.
Resistance 3 sees the Chimera invasion in full force, hence the inclusion of so many of the aliens in the trailer.
You can view the trailer of the Insomniac Games title through here.

2 million dead in the first day. Another 7 million by the end of the first week.
The world is under attack in Mass Effect 3.
The BioWare title was officially unveiled at Saturday's Video Game Awards. The quite brilliant reveal trailer showed a devastated London being attacked by gigantic alien machines.
The trailer also revealed that the title will release in "holiday 2011″. Although the game's accidental listing on the EA store pointed to a 360, PC and PS3 launch, no release platforms have been confirmed.

The debut trailer follows below.
Uncharted 3 artwork released, first gameplay footage out next week
December 10, 2010 by Sahil Dino
Filed under News, Playstation 3
Uncharted 3 is definitely real, folks. As you may know by now, the game will be set in the Rub' al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter, where Nathan Drake attempts to discover the "Atlantis of the Sands". To give us an idea of how a desert-based Uncharted will look, Naughty Dog has released three pieces of rendered artwork, via the US PS Blog.
Here's one of Drake next to a plane wreck (the other two can be found below).
According to Arne Meyer, Naughty Dog's community strategist, the game won't solely take place in the desert.
"Throughout Uncharted 3, you'll be taken to spectacular new locations around the globe that will showcase all of the work we've taken on to take acclaimed physics, particle and visual effects to a new level," he wrote.
Why, then, did the studio decide to feature the desert so prominently in Drake's next adventure?According to creative director Amy Hennig, it was all about the "challenge".
"When we first came up with the idea of sand, you see everyone's eyes light up here and go, 'Yeah, that's going to be really hard — let's do it!'" Hennig told Entertainment Weekly.
Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells added: "We're a bunch of nerds. We just look for something that will be a technical, artistic challenge, and allowed us to push into an area of the world and history we've never tapped into before."
While the first full trailer of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception will be aired at the Spike VGAs on December 11, we'll be able to get a glimpse of the game in action during its first live demo on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show on Monday, December 13.
Needless to say, we can't wait to see the game running.

I think Baker Creek has already had their biggest spring festival this year but they also have Heritage Day Festivals the first Sunday of the month, March through October. There will be vendors but I don't know what kind of assortment you would find because it's been awhile since I visited. If you've never been there, you're in for a treat. |

I have neuropathy in my feet and thought I'd try a pair of Crocs with the fuzzy lining since it was wintery weather. (I've bought regular Crocs before, but it's been years since I wore them). I ordered a size 11, my usual size, but wish I'd gone up a size. I ordered the pomegranate color which is really not the color shown, more of a cranberry maybe. Using the back strap shortens the length and yet without them they aren't a tight enough fit. I wear socks with them but they are still too loose in the width. The toe box is plenty wide and feel comfortable except my toes rub into the front end so I try to remember to curl my toes when I walk. I am thinking of buying some fuzzy fabric and try lining the inside so they will be softer and maybe fit a bit better. I am going to try out the Mercy work Crocs and see if they run a bit longer.

On closer inspection, the city's new rental housing law is worth about what we paid for it
Just last week I mentioned that I once lived in an 85-square-foot room in the University District that was so obviously a housing-code violation that you could see it by just driving by it.
It was as if I lived three years in the interior of a cigar box. After my column was written, and two days before that column appeared, the Seattle City Council voted to require registration and inspection of all Seattle rental housing. This finally proves that the Seattle City Council has inserted an electronic chip in my brain and records all my waking thoughts.
As usual, our liberal do-gooder city council has blown it, and I'm loving it.
I spend a lot of effort and words railing at stupid conservatives. It's nice to have the opportunity to beat up on the liberals every now and then.
This stupid city government never learns. When you read people's minds, read it all, don't just scan the pictures and read the captions. If they had read all my thoughts about the 85 square-foot, very bad rented room, they would have read what happened after I left it.
I moved out of that room soon after finding out that the building was bought by a developer who was going to demolish it within a year. I had heard about something called Relocation Assistance, a city program to help prevent homelessness by assisting people with funds when they are evicted through no fault of their own.
The fundamental idea of it was brilliant: Every tenant would receive a grant of about $2,000 to pay for transitioning to a new apartment. The city would pay half of that, the landlord would match that half.
What could go wrong?
Maybe you're thinking, the landlord fails to pay, is what could go wrong.
Sure, if you're a normal human being with a single functioning neuron, you would think of that. But the city council we had back in the '80s that passed the Relocation Assistance law must not have had a single functioning neuron among them, or it was being held down and sat upon by useless liberal do-gooder thug neurons.
The city tried to fund half the relocation assistance program on the backs of the landlords. The landlords were already hurting, which is why they were selling out to developers in the first place. They weren't going to come up with $1,000 for every tenant.
In my case that would have meant returning almost six months' rent.
I didn't get the landlord's half of my relocation assistance for another five or six years. When I did, it was in the form of a check from the city. The city had been ordered to pay the outstanding amounts after losing a class-action lawsuit for not enforcing its own law.
The new rental registration and inspection program suffers from the same key flaw as the Relocation Assistance law. The idea that landlords should pay for the cost of implementing it doesn't make a drop of sense.
What are you trying to do, Seattle City Council? Drive all the city's landlords out of the city so there won't be any commercial housing here at all? Is that the idea? Just make being a landlord impossible, so nobody rents here? Problem solved? Lop off the head to cure the headache?
It's unrealistic to expect landlords to pay not only for improvements to properties that need to comply with housing regulations, but then, to add insult to injury, make them pay for the inspection to verify that the improvements were made.
At some point the people and their representatives in government have to accept the fact that if government expects things to happen the way government wants them to happen, government has to pay for it.
You can't get everything you want by finding a scapegoat to pay for it. The other option is to admit that you don't want that outcome after all.
It's the Aesop fable, "Who will bell the cat?"
The city council expects the cat to bell himself, and even to pay for his own bell and collar.

Last month, I used a new drug, radium-223 (brand name Xofigo®), for the first time to treat a patient with advanced prostate cancer. Approved by the FDA in May, this targeted radiation therapy offers hope for men whose cancer has spread to their bones.
Before radium-223, radiation oncologists like me had few treatment options for patients with prostate cancer with bone metastases.
Treatments such as surgery and hormone therapy are used to lower testosterone levels that drive the growth of prostate cancer. But the cancer continues to grow in some men who've been treated. This type of cancer, which spreads after treatment, is called castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Castration-resistant prostate cancer carries the greatest risk for patients and is responsible for most prostate cancer-related deaths. This year alone, an estimated 239,000 American men will learn they have prostate cancer and another 30,000 men will die from the disease.
Radium-223 delivers a strong defense against castration-resistant prostate cancer by improving quality of life and lengthening survival time. A radioactive drug, radium-223 is an alpha emitter that mimics calcium and binds to the bone where cells are rapidly dividing. It precisely delivers radiation while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
The drug is injected into a patient's vein during an outpatient visit once a month. Patients typically receive up to six treatments over a six-month period, along with blood work and monitoring in between.
Our hospital in suburban Chicago was among the first in the region to offer this breakthrough treatment. As a radiation oncologist who's treated countless men with prostate cancer, I'm thrilled to be able to offer patients this new treatment option.
