Fallout 3
"Your review is actually pretty good, but I missed a rationale as to why the final review came out so different from the preview."
The rationale's been given - different people previewed the game.
"Yet it scored 8,while Eurogamer continue to gives 10s to games that OBJECTIVELY don't deserve perfect score-GTA4,Bioshock,Halo3 and now Fallout3."
I challenge you to prove OBJECTIVELY that they didn't deserve that score. Really. Reply 0 -

Mass Effect
How fucking dare you give ME an 8? Reviews elsewhere on the web scientifically *prove* that Mass Effect is the flawless perfect gaming experience the less intelligent amongst us were hoping for.
/clumsy sarcasm mode off
Seriously, anyone who's outraged in this thread but hasn't yet played it.....get a life and while you're at it try look up two words: "informed" and "opinion".
I'm about 15 hours in and I have to say the review sums my feelings up very well, particularly:
"Visually, it's well up to scratch, but at the cost of a pretty poor frame rate, rather unsatisfying combat, and an enemy which doesn't really put up much of a concerted fight. The first impressions certainly don't suggest Mass Effect should be talked about as a must-have game..."
I had very mixed feelings at first, finding the combat quite ropey and how a game with such technical issues can get perfect scores boggles the mind - there's clearly a lack of ambition out there concerning what we should expect from classic games. The texture pop-up, particularly on games recently loaded, is pretty bad, though not half as annoying as the jerky frame rate in battle, which can actually affect the gameplay (though is mostly simply irritating).
I agree about the citadel too - they could have picked up the pace here; I enjoyed wandering and chatting for a bit, but it started to feel like a slightly souped up Kotor, really, and not much more.
I think after about 5 or 6 hours, I was feeling moderately let down, while loving the dialogue options, and starting to enjoy the combat more. Then I did my first major chunk of main mission - saving a colony - started experimenting with equipment and tactics more, started clicking with the universe, and I found myself hooked.
I'd give more credit for the exploration element - it's formulaic, but does a reasonable job of sustaining the illusion of a large and diverse game world, and I just enjoy wandering to random planets and driving around in the Mako. Occasionally, you can come across something fairly surprising.
All in all, a very, very good game once you get into, but certainly flawed and certainly nowhere near the perfect next-gen game many are hoping for.
Edit: oh, and time to take the pitchforks and torches over the Gamespot....8.5, which is probably what I'd score it. In other words, very, very good. Reply 0 -

It's called Tenchutis, a chronic condition a few suffer from which renders them unable to resist buying increasingly weak iterations of a franchise that hasn't really been much cop since the utterly fantastic original (which was itself somewhat flawed).
This poorly bunch *know* it's not gonna be great, know that it fails to innovate or evolve in anything but tiny incremental steps, but they are drawn back by siren's call of sweet, sweet ninja kills.
Personally, I can't stop loving Tenchu games, though I really should know better. Reply 0 -

2 good quests? Are you sure we played the same game?
I agree about Radiant AI being overhyped, but you clearly haven't played Morrowind for a long time, or have some very large rose-tinted specs if you think it's not an improvement in Oblivion.
As for the spoken dialogue, did you actually prefer wading through text boxes in Morrowind? Reply 0 -
Can't agree with you Errol - it was a backward step in terms of the levelling, and the story was just not as interesting, but elsewhere Oblivion trounced Morrowind....AI, spoken dialogue, *much* more interesting quest design, buying property at least gave you something to spend your wealth on, better menus / inventory, improved combat, and no fucking cliff-racers, above all ;-)

Tenchu: Fatal Shadows
Mixed feelings about the review myself, even as a die-hard Tenchu fanboi. The camera issues are well overstated, the PS1 graphics comparison plain stoopid (even if it's still sub-par graphically, when was the last time you played the first Tenchu? It looks horrible, relatively speaking).
Above all, I disagree with the whole 'stealth is pointless' bit - Tenchu for me still has the visceral thrill of stalking and snapping necks, and the whole stealth kill element has been greatly improved over WoH with the timing bonuses, not to mention the perennial incentive of mission ratings and bonus items. Sure enough, you don't *have to* play stealthy...but wtf would be the point? Buy Madden and complain the ball's not round.
Having said all that, I agree about the fact it's not different enough, the valley girl voice-overs, convoluted story and silly narrator... btw, lol at the beat poet comparison ('In this land, Nasu means egg-plant; there are many delicious ways to cook an egg-plant; but you wouldn't want to eat this egg-plant, because he's a man'...wtf?). All in all, better than WoH for me(especially the level design), but can't help but wish they'd do something a bit more fecking radical.

'As for 'conserving the good ammo' for when you meet big baddies... surely that's the whole point of survival horror? It's the same in every other game of the genre - you save the good stuff and use the lower-spec ammo on the normal grunts. Otherwise at some point later you just know you're going to come across an eight-foot mutant cyborg demon bastard who'll smear you across all four walls because you're trying to shoot him with a potato gun.

Indeed, Blerk. The Tyrant in Code Veronica X on the plane being a classic example of this - I'd saved all my hardcore ammo, but a mate hadn't and had to restart. Muppet.

This new update from the Google Play team will definitely encourage more Android developers to build apps in Pakistan and be able to sell them. Other new countries that can now publish paid apps are: Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Puerto Rico, Qatar, And Venezuela.

text: Media Excited To Report Sikh Temple Mass Shooter Was In Military Paul August 6, 2012 News 37 Comments Follow Duffel Blog: OAK CREEK, WI – The news desks of CNN, CBS, Fox News, and numerous other media outlets across the world reacted with glee today at the revelation that a mass-shooting gunman has military experience. The shooting at a Sikh temple ended with six victims dead, including the gunman — who was shot by police officers at the scene. The shooter has been identified as Wade Michael Page. Prepping graphics reels with mixes of Army basic training and the Oklahoma City bombing, the media was truly excited to mold a narrative of a troubled veteran with PTSD shooting people because the Army made him a "cold-blooded killer." "Right now, I'm working on pulling up his military records," said Davis Smith, a reporter with the New York Times. "I already pulled up something that said he fired a pistol and a rifle in Army basic training. Law enforcement says he used a pistol in the shooting, so it's quite obvious that the military created this monster." Department of Defense officials have confirmed Page's service in the Army. He served from 1992 through 1998 as a Hawk missile system repair person and later as a Psychological Operations specialist. A reporter with CNN says that it was most likely war-time service that pushed Page over the edge. "During that period, we were at the height of the Bosnian War," said Martin Evans. "We were bombing villages and had troops overseas. It just must have been too much for him." The shooter's records so far do not show deployments to Bosnia, but when asked for clarification, Evans had to cut the TDB interview short so he could seek out a fake veteran to talk about the dangers of PTSD. It's also been confirmed that Dr. Phil will be airing a special series to talk about PTSD Monsters again and most news desks have said they will no longer refer to him by name but instead call him the "American Military-Trained Terrorist." Graphics are already being distributed across the AP Newswire of his boot camp photo from 20 years ago for use in tonight's stories — with the caption "Solder's Extremely Delayed PTSD Results In Domestic Terrorism."

Those mean old tops and the omlet MREs are enough to send anyone over the edge! I personally think that we should just ban guns from the country. And knives! And meats that require cutting because killing animals is wrong anyway. And killing is wrong. We should ban the military. Just do away with it! Then we can all live in peace and harmony in strawberry fields and stick daisies down the barrels of our enemy's guns and they will be so mesmerized by our level of enlightenment that they'll just pack up their shit and go home.

Another glass ceiling we have to break through, along with more of us being killed in combat. Daniel Tracy Thompson says: April 16, 2014 at 2:09 AM You can't blame this on the US ARMY. There are numerous resources out there to help Veteran's cope with problems. I can imagine if I pick up the phone dial 911 and say I need help. I have all my guns loaded, and I am scared I might do something crazy, you will get help! Having PTSD is no reason to commit a hate crime. You should be ashamed of your self for such a poorly written article. Based upon your theory all Veterans are monsters, waiting for an chance to snap. You are full of it. Buster Davis says: August 6, 2012 at 6:01 PM They should probably disband the military if is it is going to create killers, the world would be a better place.

Your head is so firmly up your ass you can probably lick your own prostate. Mike Judd says: August 6, 2012 at 3:33 PM Of course, when I saw the headline on FB this morning I was sure this was real, but then noticed Duffleblog in the address and laughed. Since the Media was so quick to speculate on the Veteran's Preference of the Batman Shooter, and practically everyone else that's done something crazy and violent, it wouldn't surprise me to have this be completely real. Thanks for the laughs but come on, this one isn't even a stretch. Lt. Butero-Trinkejo says: August 6, 2012 at 2:28 PM Obviously the military turned him into a monster and gave him the inability to tell the difference between a Sikh and a muslim. You know because of the beards and turbins, Seeing how sikhs pray to entirely different gods and make some badass warriors. Dumbass…. Dan Hammond says: August 6, 2012 at 2:17 PM Of course satire is only funny when it has a kernel of truth in it. David Strobel says: August 6, 2012 at 2:16 PM NPR is saying right now (1412 Eastern) that his military experience matters little. "That was a long time ago," the anchor just pointed out, and that he earned a general, rather than an honorable discharge. They're looking at his possible neo Nazi views mostly.

Publishers Weekly
This heady, ambitious and sometimes dense work succeeds in marrying fresh scientific studies to the "shift" in consciousness that the New Thought world has been prognosticating for decades. The first section delves with some detail into physics, discussing quantum, relativity, fractal and superstring theories. Referring to explorations as recent as 2005, the authors argue that these inquiries point to a renewed understanding of Akasha, which is Sanskrit for "all-pervasive space... the womb from which everything we perceive has emerged and to which everything ultimately returns." The second section empirically plumbs the limitless connections among us, while the final one addresses the "breakdown or breakthrough" juncture at which we find ourselves. The rhetoric here shifts toward a vernacular familiar to New Thought advocates about the ability and responsibility to cocreate our intensely collective experience, but the preceding science bolsters this in a substantive and unworn way. Although the dense language and passive voice make this a challenging read, it merits strong consideration by those interested in reconciling science and spirituality for our daunting times. (Aug.)

Sarah Palin said Mitt Romney is a better choice for Americans than the re-election of President Barack Obama.
"Anybody but Obama," Palin, the former Alaska governor who was the Republican candidate for vice president in 2008, said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show, where she is serving as a guest host today. "America would be better off with any of them," referring to all four of the Republican candidates. While not endorsing the former Massachusetts governor, Palin said Romney "does obviously seem to be the front-runner."
She also said the U.S. economy may be improving "for those on Wall Street" but "not for the millions still unemployed."

It is sad to hear that people get to a point in their life where that seems like a viable option. I wish humans weren't that way. I hope you manage to sort your emotions and start to feel better.
Suicide seems to run in my family. On my dads side my grandfather shot himself in the head with a .22 when he was getting ready to go on vacation going down to get the luggage out of the storage locker. About 9 years later one of his 5 sons (my uncle Mark) killed himself also. He was so intelligent, I can remember so many facts and things he knew. It is sad and in my opinion I don't think there is not a big enough percentage of people that can be talked out of it because the ones who are serious about it don't usually tell you, no notes or anything. Anyway, sorry to hear that terrible news.

July 3, 2013 by TMO
A long-eared, short-tailed, burrowing warm-blooded mammal with soft fur. Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are not rodents, like rats or mice; they are lagomorphs. Rabbits are actually more closely related to horses than they are to a rat or a mouse.
Rabbits are active, playful and social. Entertaining to watch, a rabbit can be a very rewarding pet. Their popularity as a pet is growing. They are quiet and do not demand a lot of attention. Properly socialized rabbits are relatively calm and enjoy being around their people. They will allow you to hold them but lots of times they would rather not be held. Rabbits can be litter box trained. Indoor rabbits will love to hop around your house, however rabbits like to chew. If you allow your rabbit to roam free in your house or outside for that matter, be sure to keep things you do not wish the rabbit to chew out of his reach. Rabbits will chew things such as furniture, curtains and wires. You may want to look into cord protectors, found in most mail order pet supply catalogs. Chewed wires are dangerous for the rabbit and can also be a fire hazard for you. A rabbit must be provided with things it is allowed to chew such as a block of wood. Because most rabbits do not like to be held and cuddled, a rabbit may not be a good choice of a pet for very active children who may not be careful when picking them up or playing around them. Rabbits can be destructive if deprived of attention and appropriate toys. Rabbits are crepuscular, which means they are more active during twilight hours (around 10 p.m.). They sleep most of the daylight hours. Some rabbits will sleep with their eyes open. When rabbits sleep they will often twitch, and their noses stop wiggling. A happy rabbit will sometimes jump up into the air twisting and flicking its feet and head. Rabbits will show they are unhappy, startled, or warn of danger by thumping their back feet. If a rabbit grunts or squeaks when you touch it, it may be telling you it does not wish to be touched or it may be displaying territorial behavior. Rabbits that are territorial can become aggressive when you suddenly stick your hand into their territory. Spaying and neutering rabbits greatly reduces the risk of this behavior. A rabbit will squeal to express extreme fear or pain. A rabbit that has never been caught by a person may squeal in fear as it is picked up from the ground.
Rabbits must be kept in a relatively large cage. Most rabbits are kept in outdoor rabbit hutches, however keeping in indoor rabbit is becoming more and more popular. Rabbits can be kept outdoors if they have adequate shelter. They need to be shielded from rain, wind, sun and drafts. If a rabbit is protected from the elements, they can withstand very cold weather. Some choose to use a wire cage with an enclosed box inside the cage. A 7-pound rabbit should be housed in at least a 2 foot by 2 foot house. Larger rabbits will need larger houses. Some outdoor rabbit houses have self-cleaning wire bottoms which allow the urine and poop to drop through the bottom. Outdoor rabbit hutches have an indoor area where the rabbit can get out of the elements and an outdoor area where they can go and lie in the sun. Your rabbit's home should be kept clean. Their bedding should be changed every other day or so depending on how dirty it gets. Fresh bedding (straw is recommended) should be placed in the indoor areas of the hutches. Straw should be changed when it gets dirty. Some rabbits will eliminate in the back area of the hutch while others will not. Rabbits that do eliminate in their bedding will have to have the bedding changed every other day or so depending on how dirty it is. Pine and cedar wood chips should be avoided as the fumes from these beddings can cause respiratory damage. Aspen shavings, straw and hay are the best things to use for rabbit bedding. If your rabbit is an inside rabbit with a litter box, the litter box will need to be changed and cleaned fairly often as the urine can get pretty strong-smelling. Vinegar does a good job at removing urine buildup. Spaying and neutering can help to reduce urine odor.portent that your set up is well ventilated.
Rabbits need to have their nails clipped short so they do not get caught on the wire cage or scratch their owner's arms. Rabbits have 4 different types of fur, normal, rex, satin and wool. Normal fur has a dense undercoat with coarse guard hairs extending past the undercoat. Rex fur is denser than normal fur and the guard hairs are about the same length as the undercoat. Rex fur stands up perpendicular to the skin, giving it a unique feel. Satin fur is fine and has a hair shaft that reflects light, giving it a spectacular sheen. Wool is found on Angora rabbits. There are actually four different types of wool found on different types of Angoras. A lot of rabbit owners with Angora coats choose to keep their coats cut short for easier care. Angora fur should not be clipped right up to the skin as the coat provides natural protection against heat, cold, and anything that may injure the skin. Be sure to leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length to the coat. Rabbits, like cats will groom themselves, however in doing so they are prone to hair balls. Brushing your rabbit at least once a week will reduce the chances of hairballs. Angora rabbits with full coats will have to be brushed more frequently. Brushing should be done more frequently during shedding season. Rabbits shed about every three months. Be sure to only use a brush or comb that will not hurt the rabbit's delicate skin. Do not trim the hair on the rabbit's hocks and back feet or it may cause hock sores. Rabbits generally do not need to be bathed. If your rabbit is dirty in only one area only wash that area as bathing a rabbit can be very stressful for the bunny. Check ears regularly for waxy buildup or debris. Rabbit ear cleaner solution can be purchased from your vet. Dark buildup can be a sign of ear mites. Lop-eared rabbits are more prone to ear problems. Like dogs and cats, rabbits can get fleas. If your rabbit gets fleas contact your vet for the best way to eliminate the itchy bugs from their fur.
A pet rabbit should be fed good quality pellets, fresh alfalfa, timothy or oat hay, water and fresh vegetables. Rabbits will enjoy freshly picked grasses, clover, herbs (be sure what you pick outside for your rabbit is pesticide free!). Water should be fed in a gravity driven bottle that hangs on the side of the hutch or cage. If a rabbit is kept outdoors in the winter, you should have several of these water bottles, rotating them with a fresh bottle several times a day as the bottles freeze. Pellets should be fresh (no more than 6 weeks old). As the rabbit gets older fewer pellets should be fed and fresh hay should be available 24 hours a day. Hay is important to a rabbit's good health; it provides roughage which reduces the danger of hairballs and other blockages. Apple tree twigs also provide good roughage for a rabbit. Some rabbits will eat their soft mushy poop, which is called cecals. This is a normal behavior for a rabbit. A rabbit's diet of plants is hard to digest efficiently, and it will poop out lots of undigested nutrients. By eating their poop it gives them a second shot in using all of the nutrition in their food. Also, a rabbit's poop contains vitamins produced by their intestinal bacteria. Rabbits are unable to absorb the vitamins through the intestinal wall, but can absorb them by eating the poop.
Daily exercise and playtime out of the cage is a necessity. Rabbits need exercise to keep fit and stay healthy. Be sure to only let your rabbit run around in bunny proof areas (rabbits WILL chew) and where they will not be harmed by other animals such as the family dog. Portable outdoor fencing can be purchased and set up to allow a save place for your bunny to run around. You can give your rabbit toys to play with such as a cardboard toilet paper roll stuffed with hay or a small cardboard box to jump on.
Rabbits are generally healthy animals, however, rabbits can develop hairballs, diarrhea, bacterial infections, respiratory or intestinal problems, respiratory damage—caused from wood chip fumes. If you think your rabbit might be sick, contact your vet.

You could argue that every meal at Gaucho's Village includes live entertainment—servers are constantly visiting tables with humongous skewers of meat and slicing off choice pieces with a sword-like knife. To summon such a show to your table, all you need to do is turn a small marker over to display its green side, or turn your "Bring on the Meat" t-shirt right-side out. Then, you select from an array of flame-roasted cuts, ranging from the traditional picanha, or sirloin cap, to tri-tip and filet mignon wrapped in bacon. The blazing churrasco fires backstage also cook lamb, pork, and sausage, and the menu suggests a proper wine pairing for each cut.
Though these meats have been featured on the Travel Channel's Tastiest Places to Chow Down, they aren't the only impressive spectacle at the restaurant. The real show occurs on weekends, when samba dancers and DJs rev up the always-festive atmosphere. Guests who would rather kick back than shimmy along can visit the attached lounge. There, a separate lounge menu boasts empanadas and coxinha—fried balls of chicken and cheese—as well as flavored hookah on a back patio fenced with live bamboo.
Fusion steakhouse Kravings channels Brazilian rodizio-style cooking with an unlimited supply of fire-roasted meat served tableside. Order the rodizio special and display nondiscriminatory nibbling practices on up to 12 premium meat cuts, such as steaks, chicken, pork, and seafood, presented on giant skewers or cedar planks and carved at the table ($16.95 for lunch, $37.95–$39.95 for dinner). Unlimited helpings of flame-licked meats—including tequila-lime chicken, leg of lamb, and filet mignon wrapped in bacon—test stomach storage space, and à la carte dinner entrees, such as lamb chops seasoned with mint-chardonnay sauce ($33.95), set a finite finish on jaw calisthenics. All rodizio specials come with a side and salad buffet that purveys more than 30 mammal-free and seasonal options, including soups, salads, sushi, and smoked salmon.
Centuries ago, formally dressed gauchos—or, Brazilian cowboys—conducted festive fireside roasts, during which they'd use their swords to serve grilled meats to their guests. Today, this tradition carries on at M Grill, an authentic churrascaria restaurant. Here, expert waiters present freshly grilled and skewered meats tableside, slicing off portions for diners while it's still hot.
Upon arriving at M Grill, you needn't scan dozens of menu items to decide what to order. Instead, you pay a set price and eat to your heart's content. All you have to do is flip a card: the green side tells the waiter to keep the meat coming, and the red side indicates you're stuffed with enough protein to bench-press your date. The set price also includes M Grill's expansive salad bar, which is stocked with all sorts of fresh veggies and cheeses, as well as a hot buffet with fried yucca, beef stroganoff, and fried plantains.
In addition to skewers of meat, the restaurant also houses an impressive wine wall stocked with more than 1,500 bottles. But cocktails here are taken seriously, too. For its passionfruit caipirinha, for instance, M Grill buys passionfruit at the pinnacle of its freshness, then freezes it to use throughout the year. Recently, CBS Los Angeles also recognized the eatery's pisco sour cocktail as one of the best in the city for its frothy egg whites and hand-squeezed lime juice.
Bright yellow sunflowers in the window greet arrivals to WoodSpoon, a welcoming touch that reflects the homespun feel of this Brazilian gem in downtown's Fashion District. The white walls and high ceilings are softened by funky art on the walls, benches with colorful cushions and mismatched thrift-store tableware. The cloth napkins set out at dinner are culled from fabric stores in the area. Chef and co-owner Natalia Pereira learned her kitchen tricks from her mother, and the rustic Brazilian fare has a just-like-mom-makes simplicity. Favorites include the pork burger with roasted cabbage and the Brazilian chicken pot pie stuffed with hearts of palm, olives and roasted corn. Grill plates (choice of beef, chicken, fish, vegetables and more) provide a sampler of regional sides, including rice, black beans, collard greens, plantains and salsa. Cinnamon-infused water is served to all; fresh coconut water or Brazilian sangria make for quenching tropical accompaniments.
North of Franklin Avenue, on Hillhurst's lively and tony little restaurant strip, Tropicalia Brazilian Grill is cozy and casual, offering Brazilian dishes, a fine selection of grilled meats and fish. The airy front dining room, bathed in rich shades of gold and avocado and accented with potted palms, utilizes tall windows to look out onto the street. Los Feliz locals frequent the back bar room, which sports worn brick and a wall of packed wine racks; a long (often crowded) wood bar beneath a big chalkboard lists dozens of wines by the glass in a wide price range, and the house-made sangria is popular. Classic Brazilian fare includes traditional favorites like black bean soup, ceviche, fajitas and feijoada – the Brazilian national dish. The menu also offers plentiful choices of grilled beef, chicken and fish, alongside other specialties like braised short ribs and ossobuco.
Located on a two-block stretch of Venice Boulevard known as "Little Brazil," Café Brasil serves some of the best Brazilian food in Los Angeles. Tucked behind a lush garden setting, this casual café offers an eclectic mixture of mismatched chairs and wooden tables, topped with vases of tropical flowers. A touch of culture comes in the form of Brazilian music playing throughout the indoor/outdoor dining areas, and soccer matches showing on the flat-screen TVs. Entrées of meat, poultry and seafood are grilled with Brazilian spices, accompanied with rice, black beans, plantains and salsa, with several vegetarian options available as well. A breakfast plate, served all day, consists of scrambled eggs with collard greens and tomatoes, toast, fried plantains, cheese bread, fruit, passion fruit juice and coffee.

To top it all off she may be losing her job as a daycare provider due to NY state trying to take away benefits from the mom she baby sits for. At the time we have a fundraiser set up for her and have recieved several donations, so she needs somebody willing to work with her on payments. She is a FTM and is due in June 2013. She currently lives in Painted Post NY, but will be moving to Campbell NY in March. This is a singleton pregnancy. She has had an ultrasound already. She is otherwise a healthy 20 year old. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Migration is what is need in order for the human race to relate to one another and survive. This shows us how we can learn form Migration from a geographical stand point. If you look at the Geography of how and where people move you will it will help you to develop a sense of what is next to come or what is needed to survive. |

Teens for Jeans 2014 has officially launched! We anticipate it's going to be a successful year for all of us, and are so glad you and StandUp For Kids San Antonio are on board with one of our biggest campaigns of the year!
Young people across the US and Canada can now go to the Teens for Jeans site and sign up to run jeans drives in their schools and communities. Once they collect as many jeans as they can, they'll drop them off at a local Aeropostale store from January 13th to February 16th. Last year we collected 902,500 pairs, and this year, we are shooting to send a million jeans to organizations like yours.
To reach our goal of a million jeans, we would love your help to spread the word about this campaign. If you'll be seeing loved ones this Thanksgiving, it would be great to talk to them about running a drive! For more information, they can head to teensforjeans.com or text JEANS to 38383. Additionally, we encourage you to spread the word to friends who work as teachers, counselors, advisers, principals, or youth leaders, and parents, who could help spark an interest. Let's get all of them on board, and get even more people talkin' and donatin' JEANS!
When you are talking to those you know about the campaign, definitely let them know that Do Something is here to help with every step along the way. We provide tips and resources about how to run the best jeans drive - from where to set up the box to downloadable posters that can be printed and hung in schools and around town. Additionally, we also send a banner (for free!) to anyone that requests one to promote their drive! And - before I forget - there are amazing prizes available for those who participate, including the chance to win a $4,000 scholarship and a $10,000 grand prize to the school that collects the most jeans.
Alamo Empire is one of the most beautiful examples of outstanding community leadership in that their sole purpose is to raise funds for organizations that serve the LGBT community. We were very fortunate that they selected us as one of their primary beneficiaries since we serve all youth, gay and straight alike. This was a very gracious and bold step by this amazing group of community leaders, which made the announcement that they selected us AGAIN as a primary beneficiary for Reign XXI, extraordinary!!!
We want to express our deepest gratitude to Reign XX's Emperor Geoff Torres and Empress Esmeralda Kane James for welcoming us into the Alamo Empire family. We take, very seriously, the confidence you have placed in us to serve homeless and at-risk youth in their courageous journey to build strong and independent lives for themselves. We will work hard to continue to honor this confidence you have placed in us. The opportunities for the young people we serve just expanded in ways we had not dreamed of ...because of Alamo Empire Reign XX and XXI and your outstanding community leadership. On behalf of the San Antonio Chapter and our National Organization... thank you for giving these young people hope for a brighter future.
We want to thank all of our 2011 Sponsors and Supporters for making this a great year for StandUp For Kids - San Antonio and making a difference in the lives of so many young people in our community.
"Thank you StandUp For Kids Volunteers - you guys are the most fiercely dedicated, hard-working team anyone could ever hope for, and thank you to our youth - you're courage and tenacity inspires us all."
Janet Grigsby, Executive Director 2008-2012

I was putting up posters on South Ave, at retail locations, and I actually got really good feedback from the owner's over there. Hopefully some of them will get involved, and inform the makers they know. School is out, for now, and I hope to be able to get out a bit more to put them up. I think they will be effective though. I'm going to use the information from this site to make a facebook page.
Welcome Pat!
May I ask what you're interested in making or doing? And also where you saw our flier?
We've got a lot to do. Our web site was launched only about a month ago and we just started putting up fliers. But we already have a lot of tools to start with and I think we could get into at least a temporary space if we can get the word out and find 25 to 50 people who are strongly interested in joining.
We already have a good core group that's working hard. But we're all volunteers, there's a lot of work to do and and everyone has other responsibilities they also have to worry about, like like jobs, school and families.
We have someone working on a Facebook page but no one who is trying to promote us using Twitter. So we would really appreciate it if you can help us with that.

I am so new here I squeak, but in attending another workshop, I saw your flyer and checked into the website and went crazy. I have always wanted a workshop to try out tools and to experiment with different mediums but never had a studio to do so. Your flyer was intriguing and I clicked on here and became a member. A great way to get the word out is through Twitter and Facebook. Also on Pintrest. I have a Twitter account for the school I am currently working for and we have gotten a tremendous amount of press by following the various media reporters and outlets and sending info directly to them. They actually came to the school to film and retweet the info to their users. If you are not already on Twitter, please consider it and if you need help. let me know. There are certain things you can do to keep your facebook, website and Twitter in the spotlight.
Looking forward to seeing how this all works out.
Matt can you post your flyer here when it's ready? And anyone else who's got one? We can distribute more than one design.
I think we should finalize them, get them printed, and buy tape, thumbtacks and anything else we'll need so we can start distributing them on June 1st.
Have any of you gone to the Hungerford or Anderson Arts buildings on "First Friday?" It's next week on June 1st. If not, I suggest going if you can. There are far fewer studios open in the summer because of the heat but I think you'll still enjoy yourselves. And you'll become familiar with the Hungerford Building, if you're not already. That's kind of important because we may want to consider renting space in it, at least temporarily. The rent is cheap and it's full of artist studios and small businesses.
Here's my idea for a flyer that doesn't need a logo. We could print them out on bright orange or neon green paper.
And here are ideas for three variations. We could also put all four questions on a flyer.
Are you a Machinist without a Machine Shop?
Are you a Woodworker without a Workshop?
Are you an Artist without a Studio?
Sean, I'm very glad you joined our team. But you don't have to do everything yourself.
I agree that we need to drive more traffic to the web site ASAP. I could be wrong, but I think the quickest and most effective way to generate LOCAL traffic from the Rochester area is by using flyers, word-of-mouth, social media, traditional media and free ads on Craigslist.
I'd like to help more with this but I've got my hands full right now with infrastructure stuff. But I should have more time soon.
Agreed that more traffic is definitely a plus and needed. If you need help with the QR code, that's a piece of cake on my end let me know. I'm also looking into a Facebook Fan Page and a landing page here for the site... Fan page will help with traffic, landing page would be the target for the QR code as well as any SEO.
I think that would be great and I like Matt's idea/flyer that he made with the QR codes. I will be attending summer school at MCC, and I could post there. My neighbor and friend is also highly involved in the art community and I know that he would be willing to post them as well. I think that the logo can come later. To get this off the ground I agree with Rory and Rob (I am sure everyone else feels the same way), in that we need to get more people involved. Would everyone be okay with me using Matt's flyer, and does the QR code work?

Hey guys,
I know we don't have a logo yet, but I think it is really important that we put flyers up to direct more traffic to the site. Right now it mostly seems to be word of mouth, I only heard of it through Matt. We also really need to get the art community involved. A logo will come in time, but the most important thing is getting the word out and making sure we can get people's interest. Matt and I can get some going in here in the Art District and maybe even at school.

I've been editing Tom Igoe's upcoming book, Making Things Talk, and it's been a real blast. I'm building every project in the book, and my office is slowly getting taken over by wireless modules, sensors, and breadboards. In this example, I'm using the inexpensive ($19) Xbee modules to let two Arduinos talk to each other. Link to iPod-friendly video

Walk London's cobblestoned streets, cross centuries-old bridges and amble through celebrated covered markets – before the morning drizzle has given way to afternoon sun, history will have unfolded before you. More than just postcard images, the city's smoking chimney stacks, ubiquitous black cabs and red double-decker buses all have long and tangled stories that are deeply embedded in London's traditions. So too do fish and chips.
Former British prime minister Winston Churchill famously called fish and chips "the good companions". A 2010 celebration of the iconic dish by the Independent newspaper revealed the dish to be more iconic to England than the Queen or The Beatles. And the takeaway food has even been credited with promoting industrialisation and staving off revolution. To dig into fish and chips is much more than ticking off a list of things one must do in London; it is to engage in a national treasure.
More than 229 million portions of white fish fillets are sold each year in England, each one coated in a light batter and deep-fried, and served alongside fat fried slices of potatoes. For many English people, fish and chips are best served wrapped in newspaper and devoured with a combination of a two-pronged wooden fork and greasy fingers, preferably seaside. But most historians agree that it was in London, not on the coast, where the first fish and chips shop (called a chippie) opened its doors. It was here too that the city's working class propelled the dish into popular culinary culture. And it is in London that one of the oldest surviving chippies still stands today.
Smack in the heart of London's bustling Covent Garden is Rock and Sole Plaice. Dating from 1871, this popular spot lays claim to being London's oldest chippie still in operation. The flavourful batter on its fish is nicely crisped, its hand-cut chips are tasty and thick, and for historical value alone, it is worth a visit. But it is further east where fried fish first met the chip.
In London's East End, somewhere between today's Bethnal Green and Bow neighbourhoods, the first chippie was born. Credit is given to young Joseph Malin, who hailed from a family of rug weavers and began frying chips in the family home to help supplement their income. Genius struck when the 13-year-old married said chips with fish from a nearby fried fish shop, which he likely sold from a tray hung around his neck before opening his own shop around 1860. For more than one hundred years, the Malin family ran that pioneering chippie until closing its doors in the early 1970s.
But Malin's pioneer status is often debated, and Lancashire, a county 500km north of London, tells a different story. Lancastrians argue that a local entrepreneur, John Lees, was the first to sell fish and chips likely around 1863 – out of a wooden hut at a market in Mossley, a small town in present-day greater Manchester.
"We don't really know who was first. Several places popped up around 1860 and nobody knew at the time that something important was beginning," said Professor John K Walton, author of Fish and Chips and the British Working Class, 1870-1940.
Wherever fish and chips were serendipitously coupled, both pre-date Lees and Malin. It was in the 16th Century that Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Portugal and Spain landed in London, bringing with them a taste for fried fish. Former US president, Thomas Jefferson wrote about eating "fried fish in the Jewish fashion" after a visit to the English capital in the end of the 18th Century. And in 1837, Charles Dickens, in his London-based novel Oliver Twist, refers to a "fried fish warehouse", the forerunner to the modern chippie where bread or baked potatoes were served alongside the fish.
Turning to the origin of chips, historians credit Belgian housewives in the 1680s with this culinary invention. When the Meuse River froze during winter, resourceful women fried potatoes in place of scarcely available fish. By the 1830s, the imported staple of fried potatoes was implanted firmly among London's poor. Cut to 1860 and England's first chip shop opened on the present day site of Tommyfield Market in the town of Oldham, 350km north of London.

Esperanza/Mongoose Special Needs School
The Esperanza Mongoose special needs school is situated at 88 Impala Drive, Hutten Heights, Newcastle. It is a school for children with special educational needs. It is registered as a non-profit organization and does not receive funds from government.
Seventy five percent of the learners at the school are from the previously disadvantaged group. The school currently has 16 learners. Learners are taught life skills to enable them to cope with everyday life. The NCAU has partnered with the school and embarked on a fund raising drive to collect funds for the school so that the school can continue to function. We believe that we can relieve the educators of the duty of raising funds and let them concentrate on teaching. The NCAU has embarked on a drive to collect the sum of R100-00 per month for a period of twelve months from businesses and individuals. Anybody wishing to donate can contact the executive committee members for assistance and banking details.

Comments, questions and tips
I made this today for my vegetarian son. I made some minor adjustments, i made my own curry powder out of tumeric, ground coriander, and cumin. I used two tbsps. fresh, minced ginger because i had it. I decreased the potatoes but inctreased the lentils. It was awesome! I enjoyed making it because i had to research metric adustments and also the homemade curry powder. Will add lentils a little later next time. Was also the first time using parsnips so that was fun. A real keeper

Making A Christmas Gift BasketGift baskets or giftpacks show the time time and effort you put into making wonderful handmade goodies. Even the plainest of handmade gifts is exquisite when wrapped properly and presented in creative packaging. The sky is the limit to the type of gift basket or gift pack to use to present your gift. The typical gift basket consists of an outer box (basket, pack) and inner decorations or filler. I prefer baskets with a cover or a bag type basket so that I do not have to cover with cellophane wrap to protect the contents yet I can still embellish the outer covering. To this is added ribbon embellishment, labels, hangtags and even further embellishments like sparkly butterflies, birds, feathers, etc. Whats inside the gift basket: Some suggestions from recipes on this website are - *Gourmand bodycare: Oatmeal body butter, Bathsalts with oatmeal with Cocolate Bean Soap * Montego Bayrum Soap , Bayrum Essention oil spray, Light Massage Oil with Bayrum * Romantic Essential Oil Blends for soaps ; use essential oil blends in other products such as matching lotion, bathsalts, spray, potpourri * Cold Relief Essential Oil Blend for bath teas , Soap and Moisturizing Foot Lotion (Use Cold Relief essential oil blend in the bath tea, soap and lotion) Labels for the Gift * Cherub Christmas Soap Wrap and Cherub Christmas Soap Cigarband - both types of wraps in cranberry and moss green * Gift Hangtags . Two designs are available - a modern single flower design and a classic scroll design. Both are customizable in the name and information fields. Grab graphic corners to resize. These graphics are high resolution files so resizing to a larger size will not degrade the quality of the image. * Vintage Soap Cigarbands Sources for unique gift wrapping supplies Notepolish - Notepolish is a paper boutique with special occasion wrap, labels invitations. My favorites are the sparkly butterfly and bird gift ornaments and the feather ribbons. These are impressive ornaments for special gifts. Nashville Wraps - These folks carry a large assortment of gift boxes, candy boxes, paper bags, plastic bags, gift wrap, tissue paper, wholesale ribbon and bows and custom printed packaging. Buhi Imports Buhi Imports sells natural gift packaging - baskets, sinamay bags, abacca pouches, etc. These bags and pouches are exquisite when filled with handmade gifts, tissue paper and a card.
