3 Fallout Expansion DiscFewzzypop | 02/11/2010 | See all Fewzzypop's reviews (20)If they released another expansion for fallout3 this is what you would get, only a few tweaks have been made.Fallout3 was fun , you had the wasteland and derelict citys , do you miss megaton? i do! In FO:Vegas its just a little plain , barren desert , none of these monuments , citys etc.This should have been a addon , most even call it Fallout3: New Vegas.Infact you can add alot of this with mods.But does it make it a bad game? nope , its fallout and its fun! , just dont go expecting a upgrade or newer engine , infact all the textures etc are all from fallout3 so hard to see why its so expensive , when all theyve done is add a new world space (small one too). Everything you see is reused from fallout3 , Vegas is a mod.Still great fun though!
5 Mammothmatporkyhoof | 10/01/2011 | See all matporkyhoof's reviews (1)A truly amazing game, with some improvements from Fallout 3, but plenty of familiar elements to keep you happy.Beyond the usual karmic choices of good and evil, or shades in between, the introduction of factions and your reputation with each of these multiplies the playability several times over. Whether you wish to be an all rounder, a goody, baddy, crazy, or whatever as with all epic RPG's it is truly immersive on that front. Literally hundreds of engrossing mini or huge quests, all of which are totally non linear or time dependent, which is exactly how it should be.Some real positives for me - being able to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel for a change rather than them being the archetypal goodies :) Mainly I liked having 2 companions and exploring different companion combinations, and giving them new kit to beef them up!Negatives unfortunately for me is that the number of perks seems drastically reduced! You have to be pretty specific, even though you cap at level 30! Serious shortage of item vendors in my opinion - only really 3 or 4 across the entire wasteland!Apart from these minors, New Vegas is an evolution of Fallout 3, for the better mostly. If you are looking for something to take up at least 30- 40 hours of solid, ' I will just do one more side quest before I stop' campaign - then this is a vital investment. With a minor break between starting and finishing games, the re-playability using different factions, weapon types and end games is certainly value for money. Fully recommend to all serious RPG fans, even if you havent had the pleasure of Fallout 3.
5 Amazing, Huge and alot hours worth of fun.Morrisnewcastle | 28/11/2010 | See all Morrisnewcastle's reviews (14)Have to say i disagree with Fewzzypop fallout new vegas is well worth the price and is not an addon of fallout 3, Vegas is HUGE and will keep you entertained for DAYs while it does use the fallout 3 engine it's been updated and some of the new systems are great although hes right they do use some of the same textures but they are good textures anyway.Also the customizablity of Vegas is that of fallout 3 and oblivion so anything you dont like can be changed and anything you wish to add to the game can be added with mods.This is one of the very few games that is actually worth the price, most games get boring or completed within the first 5-8 hours of gameplay this doesnt.If you liked fallout 3 you wont be disapointed with this, cant wait for some DLCs to be released.
4 Another Helping of Fallout 3Dopsuperstar | 14/11/2010 | See all Dopsuperstar's reviews (7)As other reviewers have noted this game is basically an add-on pack using the Fallout 3 engine.It does have a few new features and has more pleasent eye candy, and the interaction with your companions is much better.If you liked Fallout 3 you would like this game as well.The reason I cant give it 5 stars is the fact its quite buggy I have updated drivers and added the patches that are available so until they release another patch I am going to have to save quite often.Overall, in my opinion the best RPG game there is
5 *** WARNING ! *** This Game Will Have You Pinned To Your PCnick05 | 24/10/2010 | See all nick05's reviews (1)Been very eagerly awaiting this since the i ended my fallout 3 venture 387 hrs later :PSo pleased Fallout NV has exceeded all my expectations, its has proven every second worth the wait, it still has that urge that pulls you into the story line and free roaming adventures that F3 was so successful for but has still managed to feel fresh and new. The makers have managed somehow to give Fallout NV the +1 up on Fallout 3 which i didn't think was possible :)My PC specs are: Win 7 64 bit, 4gb DDR2, ATI 4870 crossfire and the game runs flawlessly maxed out to the hilt, no glitches or freezes etc and that's even before the a patch.For the existing fallout fans: New Vegas is a must and will not let you down.For the new comers to the series: BUY IT !! prepare to be pinned to your PC.

Philip Hefner is a professor emeritus of systematic theology at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.[1]
Academic career[edit]
His research career has focused on the interaction of religion and science, for which he is most well known. Hefner has held several dozen visiting teaching and lecturing appointments at seminaries, colleges, and universities in the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. He is an ordained minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and has taught in numerous Lutheran seminaries in America.
In 1988, Hefner was instrumental in bringing to fruition the vision of Ralph Wendell Burhoe by helping to create the Chicago Center for Religion and Science, which later was renamed the Zygon Center for Religion and Science. He was the first director of the center and remained in that capacity from 1988 until 2003, at which point Antje Jackelén succeeded him.[2]
He is the former editor for Zygon: Journal of Religion & Science[3] the leading journal of religion and science in the world. He retired as editor at the end of 2008. Dutch scholar Willem B. Drees was named as his successor at the Journal. Hefner was four times co-chair of the annual conference of the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS).[4] In this activity he has been a leader in the discussions there on the evolving paradigm of Religious Naturalism.[5] Hefner is a prominent figure in this emergence belief. It distances itself from traditional religions seeing religious aspects in the world which can be appreciated in a naturalistic framework rather than relying on the supernatural. He is an individualist in his approach to it.[6][7]
Hefner writes - "A second alternative response, often identified as "religious naturalism," is composed of a cross-section of people, many of whom are scientists, who are fashioning a religious worldview that is consistent with their personal outlook and/or free of those encumbrances of traditional religion which they consider conceptually anachronistic and morally dangerous. Religious naturalism is a variety of naturalism which involves a set of beliefs and attitudes that there are religious aspects of this world which can be appreciated within a naturalistic framework."[8]
Audrey R. Chapman says of him – "Philip Hefner is perhaps the theologian who has grappled the most seriously and explicitly with the evolution of human nature. His approach to this topic, particularly in his work 'The Human Factor' is to sacralize the process of evolution….like several other thinkers, Hefner presents a bio-cultural evolutionary paradigm of Homo sapiens…For him, culture is a happening in nature"[9]
Hefner is a Senior Fellow at the Metanexus Institute where one can find his biography.[10][11]
The Publications Board of Zygon has established the Philip Hefner Fund to honor the 20 years of outstanding editorial leadership that was demonstrated by Hefner.[12]

Extremly friendly and funny staff, felt almost like family. Helped me with a lot of things. The location is the best in town (´The Blloku´, Tiranë's hippest and most vibrant district), the hostel clean and fancy. I was glad, having had this "home-base" during my stay in Albania. The return to there (after one week of travelling around) was just like "coming home". I´ve seen a lot of hostels in my life (roundabout 40-50), but muss confesse honestly, that this was one of my best ever (and not just like you "say so")...
Location is great, the prices are very reasonable (and you get free breakfast), staff is helpful. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great hostel, just a short walk from the market and a few minutes from the centre of Tirana. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. The sort of place where everyone talks to each other no matter where in the world they are from. Good dorm rooms, well equipped kitchen and a lounge with TV. Draught beer available - it was popular but I didn't see anyone drunk or being silly with it.
I only wanted to stay for a short period of time but the atmosphere of the hostel and the kindhearted staff completely amazed me, so I decided to stay longer. At this place you don't feel like you're a visitor who is running from one city or one country to another, but you feel like you arrived to an isolated paradise where you find peace and fun. As we walked through the city between huge modern buildings, it was an absolute positive shock when we entered the main gate of the hostel and found a garden filled with lemon and orange trees and grape bushes. If you have a chance, come and visit Tirana, this beautiful and unique city with friendly people and amazing vibe. If you want to stay at a place which makes you feel like home, come to this hostel. I highly recommend it.

Everything was as described. Check in was at Freddys Hostel, then they took as with a car to Oresti. Hostel is very clean and pleasant. It is very safe, there is high fence around it. Location is near city center near shops, restaurants,... For breakfast we got Albanian made croissant and orange juice. We had nice room with very clean bathroom.
It is in a very convenient location in the center of Tirana. Serves good continental good breakfast (though for that you need to go to Freddy's hostel where the reception desk is based). Freddy is a very nice, helpful person, always happy to talk to guests and explain how to get everywhere. Villa Oresti itself was based in a very peaceful quarter of the city, surrounded by high wall and with little patio space in front of the house. Rooms are very comfortable and clean with some nice antique furniture.

For the price this is a centrally located hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The location is quiet, but only just off the central attractions (200m). The rooms are serviced daily and the complementary breakfast excellent. Staff are willing to make coffe at other times and fruit is always available. There are cafes, restaurants and fast food places metres away.
got upgraded to a private room, bonus! Owners were extremely helpful, even despite a few language hurdles. Free breakfast we weren't expecting, always good.

February 27, 2015One of my sheroes is Sojourner Truth. A brilliant but illiterate woman, she was a great orator and powerful presence who possessed great courage and determination. I often wear a pendant with her image and words: "If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it." An unwavering defender of women's rights and an abolitionist, Sojourner continues to fuel my determination to fight for equality for women, people of color, and children left behind.

Progress for Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers
December 12, 2014On December 10th President Obama hosted a White House Summit on Early Education, bringing together a broad coalition of philanthropic, business, education, child advocacy, and elected leaders and other key stakeholders. It was a welcome chance to celebrate progress in expanding access to quality early childhood development and learning opportunities for children from birth through age 5. Although we haven't yet seen the passage of needed comprehensive legislation to provide low-income and other at-risk children a full continuum of quality supports from voluntary home visiting programs to Early Head Start and Head Start, child care, pre-kindergarten and — I hope — full-day kindergarten, progress has been made in increasing access to and expanding quality programs and building support for future investments.

I also hope we will recommit to doing what we can to serve, speak up, and work with others to build a nation where every child is safe, seen, heard, respected...

Monica learned this lesson the hard way. She grew up in El Salvador where her father was a lawyer and teacher and her mother was a doctor. Monica's mother suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a nervous system disorder which caused her a lot of weakness and pain. The disease often left her...

The Real Monsters
October 31, 2014Each year at Halloween, our neighborhoods are bustling as children go door to door dressed as zombies, vampires, skeletons or something else fantastic and scary. For many children Halloween is the rare occasion to indulge in a fun time of ghost stories and goblins and trick or treats. But at the end of the night they put away their costumes and make-believe in their closets and return to their normal lives. Sadly, too many children do not have normal or safe or protected lives and their monsters are real. They do not have closets in many homeless shelters or on the streets or church steps...

Good News for Children When Congress Works Together
October 17, 2014While we rarely hear good news these days about Congress, I have some to share. Continuing a long tradition of bipartisan leadership on behalf of abused and neglected children, last month both the House and the Senate passed and the President signed into law the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 4980/P.L. 113-183). This new legislation improves the child welfare system to prevent children and youths in foster care from becoming victims of sex trafficking and protects foster care youths who are already victims. It offers new hope of permanent families for children and extra support for those youths who end up aging out of foster care. The Children's Defense Fund (CDF) and many other children's advocates strongly supported this bill, and we applaud Representatives Dave Camp (R-MI) and Sander Levin (D-MI), Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Representatives David Reichert (R-WA) and Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) who led the charge in responding to some of our most vulnerable children's needs.
What About the Girls?
October 13, 2014Though national focus is often on the racially-biased ways boys of color are treated, girls of color face many of the same risks from the cradle through adulthood which impact their life chances for success. Like boys, girls of color who enter the juvenile justice, child welfare, education, and other systems often arrive traumatized and experience more trauma from the way they are treated inside systems.

We Can Do Better
June 17, 2013Guns killed more preschoolers in one year than they did law-enforcement officers in the line of duty. Ask yourself if this is really what we as Americans meant by putting our children first? American companies manufacture enough bullets each year to fire 31 rounds into every one of our citizens. How many more mass-murders will it take to get Congress to pass sensible gun regulation? The number of children and teens killed by guns in 2010 was nearly five times the number of U.S. soldiers killed in action that year in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shouldn't our legislators be as concerned about the...

BARRY Hearn believes Prizefighter Heavyweights III winner Audley Harrison could have a shot at a world title before 2011. Hearn, who promoted Fridays Prizefighter event, thinks Harrison, 37, is finally showing his ability after winning an Olympic gold in 2000. Winning Prizefighter is the biggest thing that has happened to Audley Harrison since turning professional and he did it with style and power, said Hearn. He showed people he has ability and turned the boos into cheers.. Ive watched Audleys career since he turned professional with an Olympic gold medal around his neck. Hes had his critics - Ive been one of them - who have complained he talks a great fight but doesnt deliver. Audley is a great self-publicist but on Friday he showed he is a great fighter and a potential world-beater. His style is infuriating and I would hate to train him as I he believe he has a gameplan that he concocts himself and, as usual, listens to nobody. The fact is though, he is a class act as every punch that knocked down three different opponents was executed quite beautifully and wouldve had a concussive effect on any heavyweight in the world. Where does Audley go from him? Well, it all depends on Audley! If he concentrates on his boxing and allows professionals to do their job properly, then I believe he could get a crack at a world heavyweight title in the next 12 months. Lets be honest, time isnt on his side. Hes coming up to his 38th birthday and few television networks are, at this moment, banging the door down to have him on their station. Its harsh but true so he needs to do a job inside and outside of the ring. For me the plan would be simple. A quick warm-up, fight a European challenger, then straight for a world title. Achievable? Yes. Impossible? No. Likely? Who knows? It depends on Audley. Harrison had threatened to quit boxing if he failed in Prizefighter but impressive victories over Scott Belshaw and previously undefeated duo Danny Hughes and Coleman Barrett saved his career. However, he was still booed by a number of people among a sell-out crowd of 5,000 at the ExCel Arena in London and Hearn believes Harrison should do his talking in the ring. People will always boo a fighter that talks a good fight and doesnt deliver, added Hearn. He has lost to Michael Sprott and Martin Rogan and that did not fit with his assertions that he was going to be undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The British public like to see triers, not posers. They like heart and effort as well as quality and Audley hadnt shown enough of that in the past. But on Friday he began to show what he can do. The manor of his victory has reinvented some level of British support but theres still a long way to go. Had Audley not won Prizefighter, the only way for him to go wouldve been retirement. The fact he won it means he has one last chance on his personal road to redemption and a last crack at achieving his dreams. Its not going to be easy and theres still a long, hard road ahead but at least he is travelling in the right direction. BAKER: WILLIAMS SHOULD RETIRE FROM PROFESSIONAL BOXING DANNY Williams should retire from professional boxing according to the man who beat him in Fridays Prizefighter Heavyweights III. Carl The Fridge Baker, 27, stunned the boxing world when he claimed a points victory over British Champion Williams in their three-round contest at Londons ExCel Arena. Baker, who had only fought once in three years before Barry Hearns latest Prizefighter tournament, floored Williams twice in the first 90 seconds of their quarter-final fight. I think he should hang up his gloves, said Baker. Danny said before the event he would retire if he didnt win and I hope he does Some papers had me down as a journeyman, which was a bit unfair. But after I beat Danny like that, I wouldnt want to see someone else do that to him as well. When youre getting beaten like that from a novice you should get out of there. To be honest, I shouldnt have been in the same ring as Danny Williams and wouldnt have been normally away from Prizefighter. He ended Mike Tysons career and got in with Vitali Klitschko for the world title so can be proud of what he has achieved. Baker lost in the Prizefighter semi-finals to Irelands Coleman Barrett, who then lost in the final to former Olympic gold medalist Audley Harrison. Williams, 36, is likely to be stripped of his British title later this month and Baker, who has won nine of 13 professional fights, wants a crack at the Lonsdale belt. As Ive just beaten the British Champion, if that title becomes vacant I would love to fight for it, added Baker. If not, I will just continue doing what I do and a lot of people will be thinking lets beat the kid that beat Danny. Beating Danny will do wonders for my career. I dont remember much of the fight or what hand I knocked him down with, I was just on auto-pilot. I remember thinking where has Danny gone and that maybe hed stepped around the side of me but then I realised Id put him down and couldnt believe it. Hes fought Mike Tyson who couldnt do that and John McDermott also couldnt put him down. My first knockdown was in only 20 seconds. Has anyone ever done that to Danny before? Before Prizefighter when I told my friends I was boxing Danny everyone started laughing and when I read off the names of people in Prizefighter, everyone was saying you cant win so dont enter it. I walked into work (at an internet company in Sheffield) to a round of applause and it has put me on such a high. All I needed was a bit of self-belief and this has shown people what I can do.

When i moved to london in 1981 it didn't take me long to get work,i stayed temporarily with a female friend i met performing in london with Barry White in the 70's,her daughter's man sang with a reggae group, after they were told i use to be Barry White and Isaac Hayes's guitarist,they asked me to be the groups MD,while performing my first gig with them i was noticed by the lead singer of the 'Foundations' group 'Clem Curtis' and was asked to play with them,i was soon playing with both groups at times around london and the UK,i was in london for a couple of months and after getting more notoriety i started getting more and more session work and was hired to do a session at the Beatle's famous 'Abbey Road Studios' fortunately i was residing down the road from the studios and down a block,it was music production for a black female group,at the time it was just another session but now i think about how amazing it was to have done that session there,i evenually started teaching guitar in london from 1981-1984' with seventeen students.
In 1972 i started playing guitar for 'Dottie Pearson' later 'Dottie People's' after she moved to atlanta,she was a r&b and jazz singer,after she moved she became a big gospel singing star now during a my few years with Dot we performed between ohio and detroit,i always enjoyed performing in detroit whether it was r&b/jazz and gospel with gospel groups.i decided to move to LA and was planning on leaving in late 1974' while working with Dot i made friends i met and made friends with singer Keith Wilder who filled in a few gigs when Dot was sick,he asked me if i would move to london and join a new pop group named 'Heat Wave' he said that his brother Johnny was getting out of the military in england and he wanted to hire more guys from my home dayton,ohio,he gave a few days to think about it but i have been planning on moving to LA to audition for singer Bobby Womack because i had been playing and performing many of his songs,Bobby was from cleveland and me from dayton we were homies so i called from dayton and told Bobby i wanted to come out and try out,his office in hollywood posted me thee or four albums to listen to,what's funny is i had called Bobby's office a few times after arriving so before i recieved the albums he called my aunts where i was staying and i hung up on him because i thought it was my cousin playing a joke so i hung and Bobby called again and i had my sister answer and it was Bobby calling me personally and i was embarrassed but we talked cause before he would always be out of town,i evenually went to his office in hollywood at 9000 sunset bl.,i went to his office and Bobby's PR man mentioned to me that Bobby doesn't and won't be putting me on a retainer and i didn't have a clue and he said it's a regular salary fir when we're not touring and performing but he said he believed that Barry White did and his office was in the same building,he said also Sammy Davis Jr's office,Wolfman Jack's producer so i went to everyone's office but when i went to Barry White's office they were looking for guitarist,i met a few people at the office,they made a few calls and sent me to Barry's rehearsal studio on sunset bl.,and as they say,the rest is history,i'll continue in my next blog ciao,Emmett!
I got to play with Big Jay Bush and the House Rockers a six piece r&b funk band with band leader Big Jay Bush on sax,Chuck Wade on sax,Funky Chunky on drums,Ronnie Calloway on bass and myself on guitar and vocals,in the pass a friend of mind played guitar with Big Jay before me named Bobby Warren blues guitarist from dayton also in the past on drums and trumpet was Gatewood 'Blatz' Bloodsoe.There was a female vocalist with us at times named Beverly ??? I performed with Big Jay everywhere at clubs,at high schools and county fairs.We performed in ohio,kentucky,indiana,pa. and tenn.,I'm from the home of 'The Ohio Players',Lakeside',Slave',Heat Wave',Roger & Zapp and many other artist and musicians from dayton.Big Jay Bush at the time was working as much or more than the bands with hit records at the time.My friend Big Jay got killed at a club i think in toledo,ohio by mistaken identity,it was a gig i didn't attend,i was raking a bath when i was told about the shooting,it was pretty sad because he looked out for his musicians.
Before i went into the army i left school to go on the road with this band from macon,georgia,the band leader had family in lima,ohio so i went with them to lima,after performing with them around ohio and indiana they were headed back to macon and i followed and stayed there for two months,after moving to macon we were booked by singer 'Otis Redding's manager Mr.Phil Walden all around macon in clubs and lodge parties for college students,this was 1965,i evenually went back to dayton and the following year i went into the army august 1966.
I had played my first blues club and played my first country song at 13 with Piney Brown which i had worked with occasionally when i went home to dayton after moving to LA.,he taught me my first country song on a break at a country night club,the song was called 'Wildwood Flower',he hummed me the song and we went back on stage,i played it and the people started throwing money on stage nickels,dimes,quarters and dollar bills so i kept playing it and made a nice tip in the jar,i knew then that it would be beneficial for me to learn other styles of music and i kept that in mind over the years.I performed with Piney Brown all over ohio and parts of the south.My friend Piney passed around 2006 or 2007.When i was still in high school i left home over the thanksgiving and xmas to play with a band from macon,georgia called 'Frank Cole and the Night Rockers' who came to town looking a guitarist so i lied to my sister and i asked my parents who worked nights but lied to them about me leaving home,i went to muncie,indiana with the band and moved in their quarters over the club they were playing, there's a part two to this i'll continue later!
