We had the same problem last year with steaks we purchased from them. Bad quality. No recourse.
They did take a check, but the number the man left was not answered. The steak was discolored after cooking. In addition it has a odd odor to it. Was just plain awful.
The young man who sold it to us was polite. And to be honest do not think he knew how bad this was.
From that day on I have not bought any food sold door to door. There was two men here yesterday who tried to sell me meat. It did not look good either.
Never again

I too bought meat from two men in a truck that said "OCEAN SIX" DO NOT BUY ANY FOOD FROM THEM, IT IS SPOILED. They cashed my check that very same night. The meat spells like dog ***!!!! I will never buy any food from any person selling door to door, lesson learned! Wasted money.

I have purchased meat from direct usa foods for some time. I did once get some questionable meat that had bad quality and a slight odor. I tried to contact the company, but they refuse to divulge their corporate address and phone number.
Any ideas as to their whereabouts?...

well first off ive been selling meat for a long while now and ive worked for different meat places only because the other ones have closed down direct usa has been around for longer than any other door to door meat companys in the usa they seem to be doing something right you see only if people would be willing to pay for what they get than you will get what you want good food good price and a great sales man you see i eat the same meat i sell and well its cheaper than what you get at the store and you save money by having it brought to your door i have had good days and bad at my door to door meat sales job .. the bad days were only because i didnt have a good attitude about my work day because people are not in the buying mood there is a saying in my work its not the land its the man and it s true.. if you like to eat good steaks chicken seafood and pork than give direct usa a try they are really good they carry different kinds so everyone in the family gets to eat something different any ways its all good this is from a meat man

If you work for them then post their phone number, because the meat these two guys sold to me is spoiled and I am upset and feel I got ripped off. No, I know I got ripped off because my husband and I can not eat what we paid for as you put it "a good price for the money" It smells rotten. I would not feed this meat to my dogs! I would be afraid I would have to take them to the vet afterwards. I can tell you this much, at this rate this co. will not be in business very long.

A man walked up to my mom in the yard, and I knew he was from that Direct meat truck, I am always saying no to while shutting my door. But my mom is always a sucker. I kept saying no no no.and my mother kept saying welll......he tried throwing in another box and a cheesecake.... I said no mom, it's to much money! The Guy finally came down to 118.00 for the steak box. Which is about what it would cost to buy all that at Walmart. I think. So far we ate the peppercorn steak and steak burgers and are good. No one is sick. Though looking at the order. Online I think there was suppose to be more than 2 ribs. I myself wont buy it. But my mother is so gullable and don't know how to say no. If I wasn't there he would have gotten her to spend 248.00. Which. Is a lot of money these days. Specially for so so meat. Shame on these meat pushers preying on the weak, elderly and disabled.

MeatMan, you should not be yelling at these people who've had bad experiences. It not only makes you look bad, but it also makes your company look bad. Some grammar lessons would help as well in your argument. It makes you sound more professional and intelligent in your argument.

I agree with this comment!!!! His Co will be all over FACE BOOK and no one will buy from them, if they do not give customers a refund.

I bought the mixed case from a salesman for $162 if you total up all the pounds of meat you get you are paying over $8 per pound and that is including hamburger patties. You are better off buying fresher cuts at the local market vs direct buy.

Husband bought the mixed case of steaks & burger. He made the burgers last night, took one *** & spit it out. He threw all the burgers he cooked away saying they tasted like a rubber basketball. Thank goodness I wasn't having one! My hubby eats anything being that he was in the military & for him to spit this out....must have been disgusting. I laughed at him. Hopefully the steaks are better. I have bought their chicken & fish in the past & thought those were okay.

I work for Direct USA.....so there is no secret about that....no false bloging....now...first of all, who ever is writing about the weight....sinsce when is a filet the same price as a New York Strip?...you can not label the food by weight because everything costs different when you go to the store....second of all....when you pay 3 dollars a steak, for food that is almost always good, if prepared right, you should understand that you are getting a deal....also, the guarantee is there for a reason...ITS FOOD....you can't always expect it all to be the same....nature doesn't make anything alike 100 percent, so there is a guarantee in place for picky *** who think they are going to get kolbe beef in a box for 3 dollars...when you get restaurant quality food for a quarter of what you pay in the store, you should be happy that you came accross a deal....also, if you do not understand that you cook flash frozen foods different, then you have no business in the kitchen and you should probably eat at mcdonalds on a daily basis....because that is the only place that will give you food even remotely close to the same price....also, I have many customers, in high end neighborhoods, who know what a good steak is, that love our food and call for multiple case orders all the time....also, those of you who love to bargain with your meatman....we work on commission and have families just like all of you....when we go to work, its not to screw people, but to pay our bills....whoever the...

I worked for Direct USA for about two months this past summer. The food's decent, I even bought some for my house and was relatively satisfied. It is a deal, but not restaurant quality. You can do worse than Direct USA. The company trains its contractors (none of which are actually employed by Direct USA) to prey on the "impulse buy." Here's a few tips to insure you don't get sold:
Don't ask any questions if you are not interested. Saying no 4 times is the sign for the seller to give up.
Contractors only pay $100 per case. Any price they charge above that is profit for them.
Direct USA does not make restaurant deliveries from small trucks with freezers. This is a pitch to make the buyer think he or she is getting a "one time deal."
A seller may show you a brochure with a price of $248, then show you the brochure that has a list of discounts that they can offer you today only. Another sales tactic.
There are no "Holiday Specials." Cases are $100 for contractors, regardless of time of year.
The food will last for a while in your freezer. However, don't expect to take advantage of that money back guarantee. You WILL get the "run-around" if you try to get a refund.
Sellers want you to buy four or five cases at a time. They say you cannot break up a case, which is not true.
If you want the food to taste as good as advertised, do not defrost it. ... Show more
hello Oct 07, 2010
I've had delivered steaks from a different company and they were AMAZING. was not the same company this time and i figured they should be just as good (hoping) i have not made any yet so i guess i will find out tonight.

I bought my box of various kinds of steak for 120.00....I went straight home and dethawed 2 filets in cold water...put it on the grill and they tasted good. I think the key is to NOT over cook this meat...so if you like your steaks well done...it might not taste good. (which i cant imagine cookin a filet well done anyway lol) I cooked them med-rare and they tasted good...NOT great...but good...I feel I got my moneys worth...SO FAR...if the other meat tastes bad, i will post again to let you know

There seems to be a very similar thread in the comments from people who actually like Direct USA's meats. In fact, these comments all sound like people who work for Direct USA. I was accosted by some of these jokers with a Direct USA truck at my home a few years ago. They had a scam in which they claimed they had some leftover meat from a restaurant delivery. I had already read an article about Direct USA and their suspicious business practices, so I sent them on their way pronto. I still see their trucks on the road occasionally and worry about some poor guy that they'll sucker with crappy meat.

one of the guys in the truck had been dealing with my neighboor for a while and he stopped by last week and i finally bought the steak package and it was well worth it, the steaks tasted better than most from the grocery store, and its all guranteed for 6 months. i am very happy with the food and the service

Robin's egg linen, yellow seersucker, blue madras … The fabric options for a custom-made Dos Carolinas' guayabera are as varied and inviting as the colors in a crayon box.
As familiar as bluebonnets and Dairy Queen, the Aermotor windmills that dot the Texas countryside are such a fixture that you might overlook them. But take note. These graceful machines turning in the wind have been hydrating Texas' arid lands for generations, faithfully drawing water from as deep as 1,500 feet underground.
I was in Tucson's international airport circa 1984 on my way to Mexico to join a press trip being hosted by a new beach resort. I was young and delighted to be earning something close to a living writing about food and travel.
You can't blame folks for donning coonskin caps and partaking in the tourist tradition that is San Antonio's River Walk. However, if the Alamo and surrounding area are all you ever see of the "Alamo City," you're missing out. I embarked on a southbound adventure, and my view of San Antonio will never be the same.

Big Bend rewards patient travelers. "Patient" because not only does it take a long time to get here from most everywhere in the state, but also because it can take some time to fully relax into Big Bend's transformative pleasures.
Whether you've visited the San Antonio Missions, Texans know that, collectively, they are an undeniable Texas treasure. But truly, the missions deserve recognition of global proportions. More specifically, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) World Heritage designation. If you agree, you have a role in making it so.
With a bounty of small towns, sparkling lakes and rivers, and wildflower-splashed pastures in spring, the Hill Country has inspired countless road trips for Texas travelers.

And the Oscar Goes to . . . the 30 Best Academy Awards Dresses Ever
Because we can hardly wait to see what dresses come down the red carpet at the Oscars, we're taking a look back some of the best moments from the award show in recent years. It's one of the most important fashion events of the year, and anticipation for what the stars will wear has been building for months. Will Jennifer Lawrence wear Dior again? Who will land the coveted job of dressing Lupita Nyong'o? And perhaps most importantly, how will Kerry Washington dress her baby bump?
To tide you over until Sunday's big show, take a look back at what some of our favorite stars have worn in years past.

yesterday morning i wanted to stay in bed, but karla, my sister, wanted to shop instead. it wouldn't have been so bad, but i am sick, and i didn't want to go, for i was feelin' ICK!! but we HAD to go; had some needed things to get; got up early, thought we were the smarter ones yet! but at 6 in the morning, a rude scene hit our eyes: WALL TO WALL people, much to our surprise!! went to wal*mart, had to get some personal things; karla wanted to be a part of that holiday scene! but i was feeling yucky, wanted to go back to bed; but nooo..we had to go to wal*mart instead!! so we made our way among the mad holiday mob; even me, who was sick and feeling like a blob! got our stuff, went to the electronics area then; and couldn't hardly move; felt like we were in a pen! got claustrophobic, but wasn't about to lose it; but inside i was so mad i wanted to SPIT! but then i saw something that caught my eye.. a movie about a cheetah; THAT i HAD to buy! that ended up being my first christmas gift to buy; and i suddenly felt all cheery and happy inside! for i started my shopping off with a BIG BANG, and i was at once glad to be a part of the shebang! we were gone for several hours, but then got back; and we were both tired from the holiday attack! but then we went out to eat; we were hungry now; but at least our holiday shopping is done..for NOW!!
i still have to finish karla's shopping, and shop for my folks in ohio, a neighbor lady (she is homebound), and our girlfriend and her family (her, her husband, and their three kids). i'll then probably get myself something, after i am done with everyone else!! (i am gonna' get myself two cajun music cd's!!) :) HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!! and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! :)

ABSTRACT: Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia refers to a group of rare disorders that destroy the hair follicle and replace it with scar tissue, thereby causing permanent hair loss. It occurs worldwide in otherwise healthy men and women of all ages. This article chronicles the grassroots effort that resulted in forming the Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation (CARF), which became a nonprofit organization in 2005. CARF's mission is to promote research, to find better treatments and a cure for cicatricial alopecia, to support education and advocacy, and to raise public awareness. This article includes profiles of individuals with different forms of cicatricial alopecia and describes specific ways dermatology nurses can take advantage of CARF's resources as they care for patients with cicatricial alopecia and their families.

Hooker, Roderick S. PhD, PA-C; Dehn, Richard W. MPA, PA-C, DFAAPA
Roderick Hooker is an adjunct professor in the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services in Washington, D.C. Richard Dehn is a professor in the College of Health and Human Services at Northern Arizona University's Phoenix Biomedical Campus, and chair of the university's Department of Physician Assistant Studies. Dr. Hooker and Mr. Dehn are department editors of Citations.
The use of midlevel dental providers (MLDPs, per the study authors) is being debated as a means of reducing oral health disparities and increasing access to care among underserved populations. Dental providers include the advanced dental hygiene practitioner, community dental health coordinator, dental health aide therapist, and dental therapist. These providers are new to the US dental profession, although medicine has used similar positions for years. Medical literature has shown mixed results as to whether these providers improve access to care and increase practice efficiency; however, studies have demonstrated clearly that the quality of care outcomes of these providers is comparable to those of physicians. Studies of MLDPs suggest potential practice and public health benefits. With appropriate training, licensure, supervision, and deployment to geographical areas with significant need, MLDPs could increase access to care to underserved populations and help prevent deaths attributable to untreated dental disease.
Rodriguez TE, Galka AL, Lacy ES, et al. Can midlevel dental providers be a benefit to the American public? Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved. 2013;24(2):892–906.
The introduction of dental therapists is an international movement.1,2 Underwritten by the Kellogg Foundation in Alaska and Minnesota, the dental therapist movement has been a response to major concerns about oral health, including high rates of oral disease, oral health disparities, shortages and maldistribution of the dental workforce, the extreme costs of dental education, and the absence of a public health preventive model for oral healthcare. For those in the United States without dental insurance, dental care is often inaccessible. Dentists generally are unwilling to see patients unless they are either insured or able to prepay for their care.
The pioneering implementation of the Alaska Dental Health Therapist model is the work of Professor Ruth Ballweg and colleagues at the University of Washington. This program dramatically directed the eyes of the US public to issues of dental care access and the individual toll of dental disease. Against the backdrop of Alaska's extreme climates and geographically remote villages, the introduction of dental therapists demonstrated that there are places where dentists will not go. Underserved and geographically isolated populations in the contiguous states were quick to see the parallels in their own communities, where most dentists were unwilling to provide care in remote communities or to populations with great needs but no dental coverage. Although much of the concern and advocacy for dental therapists has been about children's oral healthcare, the same issues apply to older adults, persons with disabilities, and any geographically isolated community.
The Alaska and Minnesota programs—and the publicity that surrounded them—sparked interest in new models of oral healthcare. Dental health aide therapists (sometimes referred to as dental practitioners, dental therapists, or oral health therapists) and two new oral health careers being developed by the American Dental Association can all be part of the solution.
If changes in the US healthcare system continue as projected to provide healthcare for all, the high costs of dental education make it impossible for dentists to be the only clinicians providing oral healthcare. In the same way that less costly PAs and NPs are trained and employed at significantly lower costs than physicians, dental therapists can fill major gaps in the dental delivery system while still allowing dentists to maintain their leadership in oral health.

This study sought to determine if patient poverty is associated with increased workload for primary care providers. The study linked administrative data identifying patient poverty and comorbidity with survey data about the organizational structure of 63 community health centers (CHCs) in Ontario. Patient poverty was determined in two ways: based on receipt of Ontario Drug Benefits (identifying recipients of welfare, provincial disability support, and low-income seniors' benefits) or residence in low-income neighborhoods. Patient comorbidities were determined through administrative diagnostic data from the CHCs and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. Primary care workload was determined by examining provider panel size (the number of patients cared for by a full-time-equivalent primary care provider during a 2-year interval).
The study found that CHCs with higher proportions of poor patients had smaller panel sizes. The smaller panel sizes were entirely explained by the medical comorbidity profile of the poor patients. The researchers concluded that poor patients generate a higher workload for primary care providers in CHCs; however, this is principally because they are sicker than higher-income patients. Further information is required about the spectrum of services used by poor patients in CHCs.
Muldoon L, Rayner J, Dahrouge S. Patient poverty and workload in primary care. Can Fam Physician. 2013;59:384–390.
Health policy researchers often discuss the cost and workforce ramifications of providing medical care for medically underserved and highly impoverished populations. These authors examined two important questions: Does patient poverty generate higher workloads (as measured by smaller panel sizes) for primary care providers in Canadian community health centers; and, if so, is the higher workload due only to increased burden of illness, or do the social problems associated with being poor independently increase workload? These results imply that effective medical care for impoverished populations may not involve additional provider effort beyond what would be expected to account for the increased medical complexity of such patients, but may instead require the addition of personnel such as home health workers and health coaches to the team. Canada has one of the leanest ratios of physician to population ratios and is gradually trying to introduce PAs and nurse practitioners into these settings to improve access to care.

Primary Care 2025: A Scenario Exploration is a project developed by the Institute for Alternative Futures (IAF) with support from the Kresge Foundation to consider the range of forces, challenges, and opportunities shaping primary care in the United States. With the advice and assistance of numerous experts around the country, IAF staff developed four scenarios using the "Aspirational Futures" technique that IAF has developed over the last three decades. The four scenarios explore the different deployment of these advances along with parallel social and economic conditions. The possible paths are the likely expected future (a "zone of conventional expectation" reflecting the extrapolation of known trends), the challenging future (a "zone of growing desperation" which presents a set of plausible challenges that an organization may face), and two visionary paths or "zones of high aspiration," in which a critical mass of stakeholders pursues visionary strategies and achieves surprising success. The hope is that the Primary Care 2025 scenarios will enable leaders in healthcare to make strategic decisions that more effectively take the future into account.
Institute for Alternative Futures. Primary Care 2025: A Scenario Exploration. Alexandria, VA. January 2012. http://http://www.altfutures.org/pubs/pc2025/IAF-Primary Care2025Scenarios.pdf.
Over the last decade, health policy researchers have become increasingly concerned about workforce shortages, particularly in regards to the provision of primary care services. During this time, the proportion of physicians and PAs entering primary care practice has decreased, stimulating discussion about how primary care delivery can be restructured to be more efficient, effective, and attractive to providers. Primary Care 2025 is a comprehensive report that constructs four possible scenarios of future primary care delivery, each scenario requiring an increasing degree of structural change that would be demanded of the healthcare system and society. The report provides an interesting comprehensive review of primary care from which these futuristic models are generated, as well as a perspective in the substantial amount of coordinated structural change that would be necessary to obtain the outcomes predicted by the more radical proposals.

Killing sheep.
Don't make a peep.
No, I'm not on a farm.
I might just eat your severed arm.
Cutting up faces.
In all sorts of places.
Murdering humans.
Slicin' up sheep.
What a secret to keep!
Humans flock as sheep do.
What an obvious clue!
Sheep have herds as humans have cliques.
They mingle and mix.
Back to the murderous story.
I don't even feel sorry.
Hand me the razor.
Use that tazer!
Electrocution is a cruel death.
I enjoy it plenty.
Did you read that death note,
That I attached to your winter coat?
I'm coming for you!
Is that the midnight dew,
That you just slipped on?
Or was that all a trick?
A mind slip?
That won't deter me!
This just means I'm gonna higher the murder fee!
You're gonna wake up dead.
And I'mma blame it on the poisoness lead.
The truth will never be revealed.
The truth is already sealed.
Within your coffin the truth is dead and gone with you.
Only one thing left to say.
You better hope.
You better pray.
That I don't go bump in the night for your church's pope.

Give something back before the end of the world
Think the world is ending on Friday? Then you're not going to miss the $5 you donate to your favorite charity on Thursday.
Joe Oakland, an old friend of mine, and his wife Candice came up with the Givepocalypse, a whimsical way to encourage people to give a little something extra this holiday season.
They're supporting the initiative entirely virally through Facebook, but I'll sum it up for you right here.
It's pretty easy, actually. On Dec. 20 (the Givepocalypse), give an extra $5 (or more, of course) to a charity you support and encourage your friends to do it, too.
Oakland hopes the informal campaign will raise $1,000 or more on Thursday, and your participation will certainly help.
Five dollars is pretty easy, my fellow Milwaukeeans. If the world does end, think of it as one your last good deed.
And if they world continues to fight another day, then you can sleep well on Friday knowing that you helped a charity in need.

When Brewers fans talk to me about Spring Training, I always see the same look in their eyes. "I've always wanted to do that," they say wistfully, like Arizona exists in some far-away land, where you sit right next to the field and talk to the players in between in innings. Well, actually, most of that's true. Except for the far-away land part.

There aren't many bars in Milwaukee where no money changes hands, you don't order your own drinks and all of the imbibing goes on in the middle of the day. But that's the world of Lisa Semerad, a bartender at the Miller Inn, the last stop on the Miller Brewery Tour at 4251 W.

I love my chair. With a small room, I needed something that was almost invisible - but also functional
Chairs were wrapped very well, no scratches, and shipped in a large box. Shipping was not the fastest, but they were intact when recieved. An A+!!! Thanks!
Good things often come in twos, and these ghost dining chairs are really good things. I know that isn't grammatically correct, but I truly love these chairs. They are crystal clear and strong—much stronger than I would think acrylic ghost chairs would be. They look wonderful in my living room, and I know they will come in handy when we have guests stop by for dinner or a game of cards.
A friend had a fire in her home and lost all her living room furniture. The home has been repaired and she has been slowly replacing the furniture. I bought this pair of ghost chairs as a house warming gift…great joke, huh? Well, she and I share the same sense of humor, and she appreciated these ghost chairs, welcoming them as new special pieces. She wanted me to let ya'll know how much she loves them.
Stackable, clear acrylic, molded for sleekness and strength—these chairs were just what I was looking for as extra seating for my book group. We meet at my house once a week and I needed chairs I could put away when I didn't need them. My friends enjoy the comfort in the ghost arm chair and they've all exclaimed over how beautiful they are. One friend even said she plans to order a pair for her home.

What is the Hottest Date of the Year?
July 24, 2014
By WeatherBug Meteorologists
Many people might believe August is the hottest month of the year because there tends to be less rain but the humidity is still rather high. However, the traditional hottest day of the year is July 24.
According to the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., a location in every state has an average maximum temperature of at least 80 degrees on July 24.
The high temperature tends to peak during the middle of July and then slowly decreases into the first and second week of August. July 24 happens to be the average mid-point of the peak in high temperatures. Minimum temperatures in every state in the U.S. tend to be the warmest on July 24 as well.
A plethora of record highs have been established on this date. Chicago`s all-time record high of 105 degrees was set on July 24, 1934. Ann Arbor, Mich., had its all-time record high on July 24, 1934, reaching 105 degrees. Coldwater, Mich., was no exception, climbing to 108 degrees on the same date.
A few other state records have gone by the wayside on July 24. Minden, Neb., hit 118 degrees on this day in 1936 to set a state record. Alton, Kan., hit 121 degrees also in 1936 to set the state high temperature. Wahluke, Wash., reached 118 degrees on July 24, 1928 to bust through the record books. Meanwhile, in Georgia, Louisville hit 112 degrees on July 24, 1952. This temperature was reached again later on August 20, 1983 in Greenville.
The date is only an average based on past weather records. The hottest days of the year can happen well before or well after the 24th so be sure to keep your WeatherBug active for the latest temperatures and any heat-related advisories that may be issued when extreme heat is forecast.
The U.S. can also experience extreme dryness on this date. In 2012, drought in the U.S. reached its peak on July 24, with 63.9 percent of the U.S. experiencing a moderate to exceptional drought. This is a record in the 13-year history since drought figures started being tabulated.
Whether or not July 24th is the hottest or driest day of this season; it is still a fun fact to know that a date many think is ordinary is actually special.
Be sure to keep WeatherBug active to receive the latest weather in your neighborhood and get the latest updates anywhere on Twitter.

Man sentenced in mortgage fraud scheme involving Rocklin, Roseville homes
A Southern California man has been sentenced to prison for his role in a mortgage fraud scheme that involved residential properties in Rocklin and Roseville.
Alexander A. Romaniolis, 48, of Irvine, was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge Troy R. Nunley to 30 months in prison, a $17,500 fine and forfeiture of more than $400,000 for mortgage fraud, according to a federal Department of Justice news release.
According to court documents, Romaniolis recruited five straw buyers to purchase eight residential properties in Rocklin, Roseville and the Southern California community of San Clemente. He assisted the straw buyers in providing false information to lenders about their employment, income, assets and intent to occupy properties as primary residences, authorities said. In most cases, the straw buyers claimed to be executives of companies created and controlled by Romaniolis.
Authorities said Romaniolis was responsible for origination of more than $5 million in residential mortgage loans in the scheme. All the properties were foreclosed on, resulting in a total loss of more than $2 million.
At sentencing, Romaniolis asked to be released for a short period so he could see his family before completing his sentence, but Judge Nunley denied the request.
The case resulted from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the California Attorney General's Mortgage Fraud Task Force.

I'd ask if Darksiders was known for its multiplayer, but I know the answer, and I probably know how it's going to be handled in Darksiders II.
'We're gonna keep working on this thing till we can do 4P. co-op'
I know nothing of this series other than you play as War and its Zelda-esque gameplay.
I'm assuming the four players are the four horsemen?
More like an RPG? - awesome
There is like a demon city? - awesome
Dual scythes? - awesome
I hated Darksiders. Coop might be enough to get me to at least try this. As long as it's online coop, not 1995 coop.
Don't scare me like that with that title. Christ. How about make a good single player game and if you think you have the time/resources to add a decent multiplayer then think about it.
The first was great. At no point did i find myself wishing it had multiplayer. Thank god the second hasn't opted to tack any on.
1+ The more I see of it, the less can I wait for it. Uriel, Samael and Ulthane coming back - AWESOMEMore like an RPG? - awesome
There is like a demon city? - awesome
Dual scythes? - awesome
I still haven't beaten the original Darksiders. It's pretty fun, but I haven't had much time to play it since I bought it a month or two ago. You know, between all those other big releases.
I would like the second one but Mass Effect 3, Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning, and Bioshock Infinite come before it.
As for 4-player co-op? They barely mentioned it and said that it was just something they wanted to do, not something that was going to be in here.
Also, I hope they make the combat better. It's fun in the original once you get a few weapons under your belt, but that starting combo of "x, x, x" is really boring.

Rockerverb Mk II 50
Guitar Amp Head
Guitar Amp Head
You asked, we listened. The new Rockerverb MK II 50 watt amp is a big improvement in functionality over its predecessor, but the tone remains unchanged.
Improvements include:
All Valve, channel-switching amplifier with ultra-transparent effects loop and valve-driven reverb. This amplifier utilises a two stage clean channel with a four stage dirty channel.
The Clean Channel delivers a super rich clean tone with beautiful harmonic overtones. It is a non-master channel, much like vintage Orange amps, and when cranked the power section breaks up faster, delivering the most classic British crunch imaginable.
The Dirty Channel is four stages of unadulterated filth, but it is NOT a one-trick pony. Move the Gain knob from 0 to 10, and as you do you'll find a variety of Orange tones, from metal to fusion, rock to blues…there's even some country in there.
All 50 watt Rockerverb Mark II amps offer switchable output valves. This means you can swap the factory fitted EL34 output valves to 6L6s, KT88s, or 6550s. Just make sure you take your amp to a tech for rebiasing!
1. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Clean – through a PPC212 using a Fender Nashville Telecaster
2. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Dirty – through a PPC212 using a Gibson SG
3. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Dirty – through a PPC212 using a Gibson SG – Blues
4. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Clean – through a PPC112 using an Ibanez JEM7VHW
5. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Dirty – through a PPC112 using a Les Paul with WCR pickups
6. Rockerverb 50 MKII through a PPC412A Slope Front using a Gibson Les Paul Special
7. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Clean – using a Fender Nashville Telecaster – Jazz
8. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Dirty – using a Dean Dave Mustaine V
9. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Dirty – using a Gibson Les Paul Special
10. Rockerverb 50 MKII – Dirty – using a Gibson SG

The New Zealand basketball national team is ready to go for the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain as the Tall Blacks named their 12-man roster to compete in the basketball world championships set from Aug. 30 to Sept. 14, 2014.
The initial 14-player training camp pool has been cut down to a dozen as big men Tai Wynyard and Nick Horvath failed to make the team.
Power forward-center Wynyard, who is just 16 years old, was an expected omission being the youngest and least experienced player in the team. Horvath's non-inclusion was a bit of a surprise as the Tall Blacks dropped another big man and will go to the World Cup as one of the undersized teams in the tournament.
New Zealand NT head coach Nenad Vucinic admitted that the decision was hard.
"It was a very difficult decision for us, so I can't even imagine how difficult it would have been for Nick in this situation," Vucinic said to stuff.co.nz. "He took it well. We had a meeting, and the boys did probably the best ever haka I've seen in my life performed by the Tall Blacks to Nick. It was very emotional. Nick took it like a man. I wish him all the best and my heart goes out to him."
Left to battle it out against the best basketball national teams in the world in Spain are B.J. Anthony (Adelaide 36ers), Lindsay Tait (Wellington Saints), Tai Webster (Nebraska Cornhuskers), Jarrod Kenny (Hawke's Bay Hawks), Kirk Penney (Trabzonspor Basketball), Corey Webster (New Zealand Breakers), Tom Abercrombie (New Zealand Breakers), Everard Bartlett (Hawke's Bay Hawks), Mika Vukona (New Zealand Breakers), Isaac Fotu (Hawaii Warriors), Casey Frank (Wellington Saints) and Rob Loe (Saint Louis Billikens).
Penney will be the leader of the squad. In six games at the 2010 FIBA World Championships in Turkey, Penney averaged 24.7 points per game-- 2nd best in the entire tournament.
New Zealand is part of the tough Group C in the FIBA World Cup. Group stages games will include match-ups with top contender United States of America. Also included in the group are Dominican Republic, Finland, Turkey and Ukraine.
Teams will each have five games each in the initial round with the top four teams advancing to the Round of 16 knockout stage.
The New Zealand Tall Blacks have named their final 12 and they are hoping that they will at least advance from the group stages in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain.

Africa abandons Barcelona's pre COP15 climate talks - Anger in the streets at rich nations inaction

news report
Tuesday November 03, 2009 17:54 by Dunk fuspey at yahoo dot co dot uk Barcelona, el mundo
Delay is not an option, delay kills This week (monday 2 - friday 6) the Barcelona International Climate Change Talks are happening, five days of formal negotiations, in the lead up to COP 15. Since Saturday there have been a series of actions in the cities streets as well as at the conference centre to raise awereness, to unite eco movements and to try to force change during this window of opportunity in the conference centre at the far side of Montjuic. But will it be enough to get us out of our AGE OF STUPID? Perhaps not, news has just come through today that African countries have abandoned the talks.
Eh sorry there, COP 15? "Five days of formal negotiations remain before countries meet in Copenhagen to finish the most complex international agreement in UN history. As the teams of negotiators from 191 countries come together tomorrow for a last week of talks in Barcelona, huge political gulfs remain between rich and poor." On Monday morning hundreds of people and 1000+ alarm clocks gave the delegates entering the building the TckTckTck WAKE UP CALL. The TckTckTck campaign is an unprecedented global alliance which represents more than 200 development, humanitarian and environment organizations. The TckTckTck Campaign Director Ben Margolis told the assembled crowd. We stand here today united to tell our leaders that time is running out to agree on a fair, ambitious and binding climate deal. Real money must be put on the table now by rich nations to ensure that the people in the poorest countries who are suffering the most from climate change and who are the least responsible [for the problem] are able to adapt to this growing crisis. Delay is not an option, delay kills. Later inside the conference Connie Hedegaard, the Danish environment minister who will be the official host of the Copenhagen talks, took the diplomatic gloves off within minutes of the Barcelona talks opening by challenging the US to set an emissions target: I feel it [is] very hard to imagine how the US president can receive the Nobel peace prize on December 10 in Oslo only a few hundreds kilometres [from Copenhagen] if he has sent an American delegation to Copenhagen with no offer. I remind the US that it is not the only country in the world that has to have discussions with its domestic parliament. The expectation out there worldwide among populations and the young [is for] the US to deliver on one of the key challenges of our century. The Americans will have to come up [with an offer] one way or another. That night there was also an anonymous anarchist attack on a corporate headquarters building in the city, showing how the city still has its fair share of old violent tradition. Then today bad news, frustrated and feeling the rich nations are serious in their desire to solve these massive problems, African countries have just walked out and abandoned the conference. As reported in Reuters: African nations boycott talks in protest against rich countries African nations boycotted U.N. climate talks on Tuesday in a protest to urge rich countries to set deeper 2020 cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. So where do we go from here? - Keep eyes and ears open to BCN in the next few days - Come to Copenhagen and join the rest of those who will be there, contact Irish Climate camp - Watch, if you havent already done so, the AGE OF STUPID, then maybe try to put on a screening in your area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by chsulli77 from Sturdy smoothie straw I have had these straws for about a year now and since I make smoothies 5+ times a week for two of us, they get a lot of use. They hold up wonderfully in the dishwasher and are the perfect size for a nice thick smoothie. Very satisfied and absolutely worth the cost considering how well they hold up and the use they get!

Rated 3 out of 5 by serenity1930 from pretty colors The straws are nice, but too expensive for only 4 straws. Then shipping on top of that??

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopid from Sturdy straws I purchased these straws a few years ago. They have held up very well. I recommend rinsing the straws right after using them otherwise it is difficult to remove the smoothie residue once it dries.

Amarin NCE Delay is Bad News For Fish-Oil Pill
Amarin is building a strong patent portfolio around Vascepa, which is good because the company will need every last bit of protection to bolster its inevitable legal case against generic challenges.
If Amarin fails to gain NCE status, the odds increase that the company is forced to launch Vascepa on its own, without a major pharmaceutical partner or a buyer of the entire company.
Wall Street investors aren't going to like a solo Vascepa launch at all.
P.S. Those Amarin insider sales right after Vascepa's approval in late July look even more timely today.
