Probationary constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny.
Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic.

Mystery reader (especially series) and Austen lover
"I LOVE this Book!"
For several years now, I have studiously avoided any and all of the current books involving vampires, ghosts, werewolves, spirits and similar creatures in mystery and other genres. I didn't read horror stories, period.
Then I read some member reviews of "Midnight Riot," and thought I'd give it a try, despite the dead, undead and non-human monsters. What a revelation! This book gives the reader a rollicking ride through modern day London in the course of a murder investigation. It is fast-paced, engrossing and hilarious. I laughed out loud repeatedly when listening. In addition, I learned a bit of history about various sites in and around London.
Constable Peter Grant, having just finished his probationary period with the Metropolitan Police, interviews a witness to murder, only to find out that his witness is the ghost of a man who died 120 years before. As a result of his being able to see and converse with the ghost, he is recruited by Inspector Thomas Nightingale to work in a unit (made up of only Nightingale and Peter) whose "beat" is anything non-human, undead or uncanny. Turns out Nightingale is a wizard, and Peter becomes his apprentice. Now, sweep all ideas of Harry Potter out of your mind -- this is not a Hogwarts type of story.
As Peter, Nightingale and Constable Lesley May, a friend of Peter's, work their way through the mystery. they encounter a great deal of violence, a number of River Spirits, ghosts, vampires, and general confusion. Peter Grant is a lovely character, who is smarter than he realizes, and who looks at London and its residents with a jaundiced eye and very ironic comment.
Other reviews give a much more detailed description of the book, and I refer you to those other descriptions. I want to talk about the narrator, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. He is perfect! He gives Peter's character just the right accent and attitude, that of a young mixed race man from a working class background who has a breezy attitude and many a smart remark to make. Then he makes Nightingale a well educated gentleman of at least a century earlier. Male and female voices, London accents, German, Indian, Middle Eastern, African, Caribbean and Japanese voices are all wonderful. KHS brings the book to life beautifully.
"Disc World Fans...This Way Please"
This book is great…it's Disc World great, it's PG Wodehouse great, it's Tom Sharpe great. It's as British as Chicken Vindaloo or Soccer Violence. As an ex-Brit, raised in London now in SoCal this book hit me like the smell of damp overcoats on the underground or fresh fish and chips. If you are a follower of BBC America or PBS and have already found and enjoyed "Doctor Who", "Luther" or "Top Gear" I invite you to shout "Yipee" and jump in the deep end. This is a funny, gripping and fiercely entertaining romp through modern day London where the ghosts are as real as science, led by our reluctant hero; a junior policemen with unexpected magical powers. If Harry Potter had joined the London cops after Hogwarts this is what might have happened.
If you are an American, not quite so well versed in the parlance of London and its police force then you may be a little confused by the pervasive used of London and Police vernacular....but read this book anyway. It's brilliantly narrated by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith whose accent is 100% authentic London street…and Kudos to the producers for not attempting to "RP" it up. Its basic premise is at once completely silly and absolutely sublime. The characters are authentic and in many cases hilarious.
It's not often that I find myself gushing …but I simply have to in this case. To find a new, funny, authentic and creative voice in the often ghastly genre of urban magic is refreshing and encouraging. This book is everything the dreadful Stackhouse or True Blood books aren't. It's funny and credible, without taking itself too seriously. I tried this book as a special offer from Audible which promotes the first book of series presumably with the aim of hooking me in… and it worked. I invite you to follow and enjoy this exercise in Britt-erati at its best.
"Hilarious, Action-packed, and perfectly performed!"
I bought this book on a recent trip to London (under its original title, "Rivers of London,") and enjoyed it immensely... But the audio version is even better! Part of the fun in this series is that the main character is a mixed-race copper who is constantly interacting with all the different groups in London's ethnic/class melting pot. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith has the astonishing ability to handle all the different dialects, switching seamlessly between them as the characters converse. It's vastly better than the version I had in my head (especially being an American).
As for the story itself, what's not to like about a novel in which a snarky young constable suddenly finds himself recruited into the branch of the Metropolitan Police that handles all the "funny business" (magic)?
Full of detail and color about the city of London, packed with delightful, memorable, and even poignant characters, and with a rollicking plot that never stops moving, I highly recommend this book and the rest of the series.
I like mysteries (particularly British ones, historical fiction and nonfiction, science fiction and fantasy.
"Urban Fantasy Fans-- Buy This Book, It's Great"
Originally, I wrote this review for the Vine program on Amazon. So I didn't pay for the book. Then I ran down a copy of the CD audio book through a friend. I fell in like with the narrator. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith has a fantastic voice for this book-- actually he has a lovely voice for reading anything. I cannot imagine Peter Grant being read by any other narrator. He also does a great job with the other characters. I purchased this from audible because I have not actually paid for a copy of this book until now and because I wanted Audible to keep bringing good audio books like this to the US.
Ok, ignore any references to grown up Harry Potter. Yes, the hero does end up apprenticed to a wizard but that's where the resemblance ends. Peter Grant starts as a probationary constable in the London Metropolitan Police. His father is a drunken jazz musician while his mother cleans offices for a living. Peter wants to become a detective on the murder squad. However, Peter is not the ideal candidate for any of the high profile squads. He is though the ideal candidate for one very obscure squad with a total membership of 2, counting Peter.
Things I liked-- Aaronovitch writes about a multicultural London. Peter is mixed race and writes about his experiences with a serio-comic turn that I really like. He's smart, quick thinking and funny so reading from his viewpoint is a pleasant. Dark humor punctuates bouts of well described action.
The book actually comes across as a police procedural, even as Peter deals with issues like a dispute between Father Thames and Mother Thames-- which gives the book it's British title, Rivers of London. I like that title better any way..
The next one is available on Audible already. I hope other readers enjoy this book as much as I have.

"Maybe not for everyone."
First, a disclaimer. When I watch British Mysteries on TV, I often need to turn on the closed captioning, to understand what is being said. Truth is, I speak American. This book is definitely in English.
The story is a fun combination of Police Procedural and Fantasy (I think that is the proper term). If you enjoy both, you need to read this book.
The reader does a fine job of delineating the various characters, primarily using various regional accents. He also does a good job of presenting women's voices without using falsetto.
This is the first of a series, which is tied, not just a series of individual books, so it's better to read them in order. I've read the first three and enjoyed each.
"England's deities in irreverent antics"
I am skeptical of the entire werething-vampire-ghost-zombie-spiritofwhatever craze. After the past decade or so wizards have become ho-hum; too many insincere imitations going around. But I loved this book! Peter Grant is a great central character. He has some unusual talents, but is no superhero. He has plenty of failings and foibles and uncertainties. The supernatural certainly plays a huge part in this book, but it is treated with a combination of irreverence, comedy, and rationality that is refreshing. The history and mythology of London are integrated into the plot and give rise to some fascinating characters. The re-imagination of spirits general and particular is well-done and often quite funny. I will definitely listen to more books by this author. The narration was excellent and enhanced the story.
In some respects this book reminds me of the Bryant and May series; if you like Bryant and May, you might well enjoy this series too.
You'll find me chattering and chasing shiny things.
"Nothing Like Harry Potter - which is just fine!"
Don't get me wrong, I *love* the Harry Potter series - but this is a totally different animal. The only things they have in common are magic and infinitely listenable writing styles.
I don't know what I can add that others have not - I have never read/listened to a police procedural that was quite this detailed before - but I also haven't read many. I really enjoy the way Peter, the main character takes what he's learned from being a cop in general and transitions it to dealing with his wholly new experiences with the supernatural.
This is a very adult novel, it's got some horrific scenes, as well as use of language, and sexual situations. None of it is gratuitous, however, it all slides well into the story.
I read a couple of pans involving how british this book is - in that there are some words and phrases americans wouldn't necessarily get. The book was written for a british audience and I don't mind popping over to google to look up "punter" (cause it certainly isn't talking about football players) and other such words as well as place names I wouldn't know by hearing in the book.
As a narrator, for the most part Holdbrook-Smith does a bangup job. He does most of the accents so well, that when he flubbed one by not being able to maintain it, I still gave him a pass. The only thing that really gets on me are the occasional mouth noises that leave me wanting to say "swallow!". I enjoy that he acts the book as opposed to just reading it and I'm glad he does the whole series as it's been published in the US so far.
I really recommend this book to those who enjoy urban fantasy. Particularly fans of Harry Dresden. He has some fun takes on issues Dresden has encountered (such as magic farbing technology) and the main character's enjoyable wit, along with self expressed flaws put me in mind of that series. Though once again - different animals, but equally as enjoyable.
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"Off to a good start."
The elements of the UK police work that you learn about in this series. Also, the magic system is interesting and not overpowering. A good low-powered magic user that has to rely on his wits instead of raw power.
I like Mother Thames. She kind of steals the show everytime she is in a scene.
He brings a real London flavor to the reading.
I would like to but don't have the time.
It's a monster of the week book, but gets the series off to a good start. The series continuously improves and I am currently looking forward to book 4. The narrator is excellent and adds a depth to the story it might otherwise not have.
"Finally available in the US!"
Ben Aaronovitch has an excellent pedigree: he wrote two 7th-Doctor-era serials for Doctor Who, and has written DW novels which I will now have to seek out. And he seems to have been the first to send a Dalek up a staircase. Evil, evil man.
I'm becoming an audiobook voice groupie. Which is going to be a problem here, because the sequel to Rivers of London is not (legally) available in the US. Mia Michaels, judging on So You Think You Can Dance, coined a word I've been using ever since. The spelling is debatable, but it is, roughly, "gorgeois" – pronounced "gor-zhwah". That word, for me, is a very good descriptor of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's narration of Rivers of London. (Hey, he pronounced "chaise longue" correctly. If for nothing else I love him for that – and there's plenty more to adore.) He has a deep, dark, dusty voice, and reads aloud like a dream. His character voices are stupendous. London being the (insert something less clichéd than "melting pot" here) that it is, KHS has a variety of not only British regional but international dialects to deal with: male, female, other, Scots, Cockney, British Received, Nigerian, more – all are wonderful. It's lovely to hear him switch from what may be his own voice, here the voice of Peter Grant, to the dry light patrician tones of Nightingale – equally natural, equally fluent, and so different from the sound of Peter that it could truly be a different speaker. There is nothing between Kobna Holdbrook-Smith and the experiences he tells of, no evidence whatsoever that the words he speaks were ever such dead things as print on a page.
The writing doesn't hurt in that endeavor. Ben Aaronovitch's style is utterly natural and conversational, perfectly in keeping with the first-person voice of young Peter Grant, his main character. It's no young adult book – the "f-bomb" is dropped liberally, for one thing, and then there's the violence – but it is the story of the beginning of an apprenticeship, of the opening up of a strange, unsuspected world within the common mundane. Peter's world is, if not turned upside-down, tilted at a startling angle, and everything changes. And then changes again. Then gets a little stranger. I loved that he took every part of it, from the very beginning, back to his classmate and sort-of-partner Lesley to talk over, not worrying (much) about whether or not she would believe him. I think I'm in love with Peter Grant (and Chief Inspector Nightingale), but that could just be the influence of The Voice.
I laughed at this from Wikipedia (be careful of spoilers on the page):
- Police Constable Lesley May; an officer in the Metropolitan Police who, having completed her mandatory probationary period, is expected to go far.
- Police Constable Peter Grant; an officer in the Metropolitan Police who, having completed his mandatory probationary period, is expected to do paperwork.
The story does a fascinating job of limning the difference between the sort of person who becomes a "copper" and the rest of us. I think it was a commercial for some possibly short-lived network series that explained that most people run away from trouble, while first responders run toward it. Here this is underscored, especially in the first chapters: Grant and May, the brand shiny new PC's, are caught up in the tail end of a hideous incident, and wind up standing shaking, covered in blood not their own, faced with a dead family and a scene of horrendous violence – and they field the situation. And come back for more. Most people (I) tend to want to avoid this sort of thing, and having been unable to avoid it once would do absolutely anything to avoid experiencing anything like it again….
I love how this world, this alternate London, was built. There isn't so much a conspiracy of silence as in, say, Harry Potter, where the wizarding world goes out of its way to keep muggles safe ignorance. (I love that Harry Potter exists in Peter Grant's world. It will be great fun to keep that in mind going on with the series, to try to spin it to determine what if anything the Alternate Jo Rowling knew about real wizardry.) In this London, in this world, it's more a matter of the muggles not wanting to see what they can't cope with (or not having the ability to see it), and the wizarding world simply staying rather quiet and out of the way. I love the skepticism, giving way grudgingly to acceptance, of just about everyone; I love Peter's attitude toward the situation in general and his situation in very much particular.
I love how the British title – so much better than the American – is brought to life. The voice of Mother Thames is wise and remarkably feminine and beautifully accented, and the tale of how she became Mother Thames is a small gem of storytelling. And then we go to meet Papa Thames. It's the sort of storytelling I just want to hug to myself and not let go of. And – bonus – I learned a bit. Going on to listen to A Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England, I could be a bit smug as the author talked about executions at Tyburn.
I loved just about everything about this book. I loved the revelations about what was going on – something which could have been truly awful in different hands, but which was suspenseful and horrifying here. I loved not knowing whether I could trust Aaronovitch with characters' lives. I even loved Peter's ambivalence toward Toby – and that's not like me. I can't honestly think of anything I didn't like. I can't wait to get my hands on the second book (and the third, and so on) – but I wish, I deeply wish, that the audio book was available here. It just won't be quite as much fun without KH-S.
But I have faith that it will be fun.
"Hogwarts Meets Agatha Christie"
These books are great! I've listened or read all of the Peter Grant series and can't wait for the next book to come out. They have humor, mystery, and magic all rolled up into one and the narrator does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. I would highly recommend this series to anyone particularly fans of Torchwood, Doctor Who, and Sherlock.

|Finding and Excluding $b$-ary Machin-Type Individual Digit Formulae
Constants with formulae of the form treated by D.~Bailey, P.~Borwein, and S.~Plouffe (\emph{BBP formulae} to a given base $b$) have interesting computational properties, such as allowing single digits in their base $b$ expansion to be independently computed, and there are hints that they should be \emph{normal} numbers, {\em i.e.,} that their base $b$ digits are randomly distributed. We study a formally limited subset of BBP formulae, which we call \emph{Machin-type BBP formulae}, for which it is relatively easy to determine whether or not a given constant $\kappa$ has a Machin-type BBP formula. In particular, given $b \in \mathbb{N}$, $b>2$, $b$ not a proper power, a $b$-ary Machin-type BBP arctangent formula for $\kappa$ is a formula of the form $\kappa = \sum_{m} a_m \arctan(-b^{-m})$, $a_m \in \mathbb{Q}$, while when $b=2$, we also allow terms of the form $a_m \arctan(1/(1-2^m))$. Of particular interest, we show that $\pi$ has no Machin-type BBP arctangent formula when $b \neq 2$. To the best of our knowledge, when there is no Machin-type BBP formula for a constant then no BBP formula of any form is known for that constant.

He's taking a break
Q: Hi Meredith,
I have read your column for years, but until now have never found the need to seek your advice. You see, I was in a happily-ever-after relationship for 7 years, and we were supposed to start planning our wedding until ... we started a long distance relationship, and 2 months in, he asked for a break over text message.
It was unexpected for me, and it broke my heart. I love him, and I respected the break for a while, but then I started questioning everything. Every time I try to reach out to him, the end result is the same: he pleads for more time (usually over email/text), gives no answers, and seems to avoid me. I have decided that it is over, but I can't bring myself to move forward. I feel as though I need to let him know it's over, so we can both be on the same page (he would have to return my call first). I feel it's important to show the respect to our relationship of at least a phone call even though he has not done the same for me. I'm embarrassed by how much I have reached out to him with not much/anything in return. Is it okay to just end this over a text message or email? Should I wait until he's ready to at least talk over the phone?
Any advice would be great.
– Break Up by Text, MA
A: I really wish you could do this in person, BUBT. At the very least, you deserve an email.
My advice is to send him a long note (email) that explains where you are with this. Also leave him a voicemail telling him that you want to confirm your breakup. If he responds to these messages by asking for more time, explain that he's run out of it. Because you just can't do this anymore. It's too confusing and painful.
If he doesn't respond to the messages within a few days (like, four), end it with an email. Don't do anything by text. It's passive-aggressive, and you don't want to have to keep anything too short.
As soon as you hit "send" on your email and leave that voice message, go out to dinner with some friends. Stay surrounded. Find the people who respond to you immediately. Keep them close.
Readers? Should she follow his lead and do this by text? Is it possible he doesn't want to break up? How can she get him to communicate? Help.
– Meredith

Rolling Stones Sax Man Thinks The End Is Near
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
The Rolling Stones' legendary sax player Bobby Keys told us that he feels that the end is now in sight for rock's original bad boys. Keys, who was on hand on Sunday night (November 25th) at London's O2 Arena, first performed with the Stones on the 1969 Let It Bleed classic, "Live With Me," before touring with the band in 1970 and being featured on the 1971 chart-topping "Brown Sugar."
Keys told us that having been around for as long as he has, this definitely feels like the victory lap for the band: "I talk to Keith (Richards) and Ronnie (Wood) occasionally. And I went back to New York a couple of months ago to work on Keith's solo album and don't really think about the Stones as much as being a part of my life as I used to. Well, for one thing, the reality of it is, y'know, this train is going to pull into the last station pretty soon. I feel like it (laughs). It's kind of winding down. This might be sayonara, see you later, had a good time, and keep in touch time, y'know?"
The Rolling Stones tour dates (subject to change):
November 29 - London, England - O2 Arena
December 8 - Brooklyn, NY- Barclays Center
December 13, 15 - Newark, NJ - Prudential Center

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Rob George Friday 14 December 2012 Updated: 21/12 09:20
MATERNITY chiefs at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust have confirmed they intend to bid for a share of a £25million Government grant.
The trust told The Standard it welcomed the announcement of a £25million cash pot to improve birthing environments.
Under the Government's proposals, maternity services will be able to apply for new funds to offer en-suite facilities, rooms
where partners can stay overnight or purchase such items as more birthing pools.
The Acute Hospitals NHS Trusts, head of midwifery, Patti Paine, said: "We already have some existing schemes that would be eligible for funding, and are reviewing a range of other potential improvements that we can incorporate into a formal bid by the end of the month."
Health minister Dan Poulter MP said the Government hoped the cash injection would allow mums to give birth with more dignity and in more comfort.
"A new arrival in the family is a joyous time but can present challenges for mums and families, particularly new families," he said.
"Not a penny of the £25million will be given out unless there is evidence that women have been asked about the changes they want in their local areas.
"Whether it's more ensuite facilities, overnight rooms for dads, birthing pools or other improvements to the care and experience of women during pregnancy and childbirth."
The news was also welcome by the Worcester and Droitwich branch of the National Chilbirth Trust (NCT).
A spokesperson said: "We like the idea of having double beds, perhaps in a midwive-led unit, so after the birth everything is nice and cosy.
"I do know that the trust are getting some comfy reclining chairs for dads so that they can stay over if they want to.
"More funds available for maternity units to buy birthing pools and balls is a great idea and we fully support it.
"It's also important to improve the service they offer - cups and saucers and kettles rather than plastic cups.
"But maybe Health and Safety would probably say that you can't have hot water round new born babies!," the spokesperson added.

In South Carolina, Paul seeks common ground among GOP
(CNN) — Making his political debut in the early presidential primary state of South Carolina, Sen. Rand Paul on Friday leveled blows against the Obama administration and sought to fuse some of his libertarian-leaning positions with the wider Republican Party platform.
The first-term senator from Kentucky, who's considering a White House bid, addressed his criticism of Guantanamo Bay, the government's surveillance programs and his proposals to cut defense spending--three topics that fall out of line with mainstream Republicans.
Paul spoke before a crowd in Columbia at a casual barbeque dinner hosted by the state's Republican Party. Friday's trip to South Carolina marked the third leg of his early-voting state circuit; last month he headlined events in Iowa and New Hampshire, and his summer plans involve more trips to early states.
Read more: Rand Paul's Republican balancing act
Warming up his audience on Friday night, he tackled a topic they likely all agree on: reducing the federal deficit.
Paul criticized President Barack Obama for crying wolf over the forced spending cuts this year, which slashed $85 billion from the budget through September 30.
"On the sequester, I think we're actually winning the battle on this, the public relations battle. The president said 'the sky is falling, the world will end, oh my, we cannot possibly have the sequester'," Paul said. "But we survived. The world isn't ending."
Paul described the decision to slice budgets for air traffic controllers and meat inspectors as simply a scare tactic.
"I think people saw through it and saw it frankly as a charade," he said. "They saw that he was playing games, and I think he's losing respect from the public for this."
Paul's comments were a daring move, given that some in the Republican Party opposed the cuts, known in Washington as sequestration, because of their expected hit on the military, and South Carolina is home to eight military installations.
The senator, however, did not mention that Congress and Obama agreed to change the rules for the implementation of the spending reductions, including a measure that gave the military and some agencies more leeway for absorbing the cuts. The bill also prevented furloughs for meat inspectors and traffic controllers.
Paul ticked off other examples of wasteful spending, including studies he frequently mentions that involved robotic squirrels and monkeys on methamphetamine.
He stayed on message, too, when he talked about a need for reduced spending in the Department of Defense.
"People say, you're not going to go to South Carolina and talk about waste in the military, are you?" he joked.
"There's waste everywhere," Paul continued. "It doesn't mean I'm against national defense. National defense is the most important thing we spend money on. It's one of the few legitimate constitutional functions--it should be a priority."
But, he added, that doesn't mean it gets a "blank check."
"I think we should audit the Pentagon," he said.
Paul also reiterated his opposition to the government's recently revealed surveillance programs, which include the collecting of phone records for Americans. Since the programs were leaked, Paul has hammered Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for not being straight with Congress about the existence of the data collection.
"People say the leaks have damaged our security. You know what's damaged our security--is lying. Because I don't know now whether to trust them," he said, drawing applause from the audience.
Officials with the National Security Agency and the FBI have defended the programs, which also include online surveillance of suspects overseas, saying they've helped the government thwart more than 50 terrorist plots.
But Paul, siding with some liberals on the issue, said he was convinced all 50 of those cases could have been prevented and the suspects could have been caught through traditional warrants.
He used the argument to pivot to what he considers one of the country's greatest assets: its justice system. Talking about Dzhokar Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Paul said he has "no sympathy" for the 19-year-old.
"I'd just as soon pull the switch-after he has a trial and after he's convicted," he said. But sending him to Guantanamo Bay would be the wrong move.
"Our courts-we should be proud of 'em. He's going to be convicted. He's going to be punished. But it's better than sending someone indefinitely somewhere around the world and not trying them," he said.
He compared the detention of suspects in Guantanamo Bay to "awful times" in American history, when black people were lynched without a trial or when Japanese-Americans were kept in camps during World War II.
He added that Republicans need to "stand up for our system."
"I think these ideas of justice are what branch us out and make us a bigger party," he said.
Optimism is also key for Republicans, he said. "When I think of what our message should be, I think of Patrick Henry: Give me liberty or give me death."

Fallen Earth
Fallen Earth Overview
Fallen Earth places its players in a barren desert that once used to be the American Grand Canyon. This MMO is based on themes of survival and desperation. Fallen Earth is rich with quests, combat, enemies, and trading. Survival is a product of all aspects of the game, and players must be able to outfit themselves with the proper equipment, train themselves how to use that equipment, and meet the right people in order to succeed. Fallen Earth has different ways of handling each of these topics, and some of them are handled much more gracefully than others.
Crafting: Crafting plays an enormous role in Fallen Earth. Finding effective equipment on your own is quite rare, and purchasing it from others is expensive. This places an important emphasis on being able to be self sufficient and create the goods that you need. Not only does this give Fallen Earth its unique flavor, but it also bolsters the game's strong theme of surviving after the end of modern civilization.
Combat: Fallen Earth mixes together the crosshairs of an FPS with the attribute and skill system of an RPG. This makes it necessary for players to aim their attacks at enemies in addition to acquiring the proper skills and attributes to make them effective. Enemies are not 'targeted' in Fallen Earth; when fighting multiple enemies it is up to the player to aim at the target of their choice. While this system makes an attempt to keep things interesting, it also delivers a clunky and sometimes annoying feel to the action.
Factions: Starting out in Fallen Earth, characters are neutral with all the available factions. Players can choose to remain neutral, or they may join up with one of the games six factions. Factions provide benefits to skills, abilities, and equipment. While having allies is always a plus, every faction has an opposing group that they are unfriendly with. This means when new friends are acquired, so are new enemies. The available factions are: Children of the Apocalypse, Light Bearers, Tech, Traveler, Vista, and Enforcers.

Fallen Earth Review
By, Guillaume Barbeau
You've seen this theme before; America put to waste under an earth-sundering cataclysm, with cities razed, and man brought down to his basest instincts in the need for survival. It's been explored in books, movies, and many other games, but rarely so in the format of MMORPGs. Fallen Earth relieves this by creating one of the biggest MMORPGs to date, with far more ground area to explore than you most likely could in your first months of play. The theme is hit-or-miss, and post-apocalyptic fans will feel right at home almost as soon as they step in, as the game looks somewhat similar to Fallout 3, with a color palette rarely straying away from dirt brown and urban gray. The question is, will it manage to attract new interest with this recent move to free-to-play, and if so, will this new crowd be able to look over Fallen Earth's few shortcomings?
Home, Sweet Home
Let's get something out of the way right away; this is an "independent" game that looks the part; if you are used to the smooth looks of modern games, or just have a tendency to enjoy things with all graphic sliders at max, this will take a bit of adjustment as Fallen Earth looks a bit… Square. The story so far is rather simple and easy to follow; you're a clone, the earth has suffered through a number of calamities, and you must set out to save your own skin. It's nothing crazy so far, but it's good enough for MMO quality. The world is divided by sectors, each covering a range of player levels, and each with their own PvP zones, towns, and environments. There is also an active night and day cycle, though it often tends to feel like the nights are very, very long.
The game starts you out at character creation screen, where you'll be given a very reasonable amount of options for your new character. With the ability to customize hair, tattoos and even starter clothes, you're bound to find something that clicks for you. This would be a nice selection if it was a full-price game, and for free, I'll say that this is a very neat feature. Moving on – you're sent to a tutorial area that gives you a crash course to the basics of Fallen Earth, and while it might do for a simpler game, this is not that game. You're bombarded with windows and quest screens before being led through a tutorial that simultaneously has you struggling with the confusing interface, while trying to figure out the combat mechanisms. At one point, you're left wondering "Is this a first person shooter or an ability-based RPG?" and well, the answer will be a bit of both. Thus, the early learning curve is great, and the tutorial is of little help, though it still pays to go through it so you can get the very basics right.
Welcome To The Thunderdome
Once you're through the tutorial, you're brought to a room that lets you choose your future; fighting, crafting or support, and each sends you to a respective town with a focus on said future, though all three of those are included in each. It might seem simple then, but once there you'll realize just how much there is to do. With your choice set, you're at last released into the world of Fallen Earth with nothing but an old mare, a fire axe and a paintball gun(No, really). The towns here are chock-full of stuff to do, and there are more quests than you are likely to complete in your first run through. You can level through a variety of different ways, first and foremost being quests, followed by fighting and crafting. Crafting is a crucial part of Fallen Earth gameplay, and simply cannot be avoided if you intend on progressing at a normal speed.
The leveling system works with experience points, which in turn awards points called Advancement Points(APs), which are awarded progressively as you accomplish tasks, crafting or fighting, and advance through levels. APs can be invested into attributes, including things like strength, intelligence, coordination, skills such as escape artist and precision(which boost certain actions), or mutations (which are sort of like skill trees). Stats are explained by hovering over them, but their importance is seldom detailed, and it takes a bit of asking around before realizing some important things. As an example, it's usually a better idea to specialize rather than pick a bit of everything. The open-endedness of this system is both a blessing and a curse; it will reward players who put a bit of research into it, and punish casuals who might just stumble through the whole thing. This is further complicated by varying costs of these attributes, and players are often left wondering which stat is important, and which is less so. Thankfully, the community is generally very helpful and knowledgeable if you're bothered to ask.
Dog Food's What For Dinner
You'll be doing three things very often; fighting, crafting and running around huge spats of land. Fighting is more complicated than it looks; you have to switch between a passive and aggressive mode using tab, then switch between melee and ranged using ctrl + 1 or 2. Once you have your favorite toy equipped, you have to aim, then whack away. If you want to use a ranged ability, you have to activate it, and THEN shoot. Complicated, but you know what? It's actually fun once you get used to the idea of switching back and forth between passive and aggressive constantly. It's different, that's for sure. Mobs are hard enough to make the entire thing satisfying, but not so tough you can't make a few mistakes. Most combat is ranged, but if you're determined, you can get away with bashing things with a club instead.
Crafting is another bag of beans, and like combat, it pretty much can't be avoided. You'll need the skill books for it, which you can acquire through quests and merchants. The map is loaded with nodes of resources that can be harvested through Geology, Nature, Scavenging, etc. Following that, you open up your crafting menu, select your item, and start crafting. This uses a timer system – each recipe has a certain crafting time, say, 15 minutes, and you don't need to just sit on your butt while it crafts. You can close the tab, and go do other things meanwhile. Once again, this is both a blessing and a curse, as it can take a very long time to craft things you need for a quest you want done right away. On the other hand, you're free to stay active meanwhile. Professions are many, and include such classics as armor crafting, science, or even good ol' cooking! To say the least, there is a LOT of items that can be made, including many consumables ranging from bandages, to acid you can throw in someone's face. As for running around? Well, let me tell you that with the amount of mounts available, travel can be a blast, mostly that there are indeed mounts such as jeeps that can let you bring up to 3 buddies with you. Fallen Earth is huge however, and driving around can take a very long while, so be prepared for that (there is fast travel, just not early on).
Like The Road, Just Less Depressing
Considering PvP areas cover a fairly big part of zones, you're very likely to encounter it. There are two ways you can participate; either by joining in Blood Sports matches, which is basically arena matches in a variety of the usual games (Capture the Area, Death match, etc.), or by joining one of the many factions to have a go at one of the many towns that can be captured, or simply duke it out in a PvP zone. There is a wheel system for the factions, with each having two allies, two enemies, and one arch-enemy. Once your faction is picked, you cannot jump from one side of the wheel to the other. Rather, you have to make your way progressively from arch enemy, to enemy, to ally, and finally to the faction. This is a fairly original system that encourages progressive transition, and is without a doubt the highlight of the PvP. Factions each have towns, skills and weapons they specialize in, encouraging a degree of movement from one faction to the other as you level. The PvP can be fairly tough for new players, so get ready for a few humiliating deaths before things get going for you.
The money store, as of the writing of this, includes a handful of items at more or less reasonable prices, and three different monthly subscriptions (Survivalist, Wastelander, and Commander), each giving increasingly significant bonus, and with increasing prices going from 10$ to 30$ a month. The bonus to these is more of a progression bonus than a stat upgrade, augmenting things like AP acquisition, crafting speed, store discounts etc. Amongst other purchasable goodies are included respec kits, name changes, extra character slots, new mounts and some neat in-game gear. It's also worth noting the bugs – they are many, and though the reviewer did not experience many of them, he encountered a particularly annoying one that had him reinstall and reformat to get the damn thing working.
Final Verdict: Good
If you enjoy post-apocalyptic games and MMOs, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot by not trying this one out. For anyone else, if you can look past the learning curve, the slightly awkward graphics and the few bugs, then you'll find that Fallen Earth has a lot to offer to its new players, and quickly rewards efforts with interesting goodies and abilities. It has come a very long way since the days of being full-priced and subscription-based, and it shows. That's not to say that there isn't work to be done; Fallen Earth, though approachable, is not yet at the level where it's an entirely smooth ride. Give it a chance though, and you'll soon realize how addictive this little gem can be.

Okay, I just picked this up on Desura and I've decided that if it drops here, I'll pick up a GOG copy too. And if not, I'll gift a Desura copy provided it remains a DRM free option when the final version drops.
Leroux: That's too bad. I mean promises are all well and good, but not really relevant in the business world, so unless that online activation-free copy is not for sale yet, I'll just save my money. I voted for Driftmoon on the wishlist though; if one day it should become DRM-free and available on GOG, I'd happily pay for it. Anyway, thanks for your replies, amok!
ville.monkkonen: Just wanted to chime in that there is in fact a DRM free version of Driftmoon available through Desura, and when Driftmoon lands on GOG, it will be similar. :)
You've made an awesome game.

Hi: 10° Lo:2°

Arsenic and Old Lace
Palace Theatre, Redditch
Friday, March 30
THERE were lots of laughs at the Palace Theatre as All and Sundry performed Joseph Kesselring's classic Arsenic and Old Lace.
The play centres around drama critic Mortimer Brewster who, in between reviewing plays and trying to decide whether or not to marry the love of his life Elaine Harper, has to also deal with his two aunties Martha and Abby who have acquired a penchant for putting old men out of their misery.
The show enabled the audience to take a break from the doom and gloom of the petrol crisis and see a performance which was fuelled by plenty of energy, erraticness and enthusiasm.
This great script was really brought to life by another talented cast that took the writer's intended dramatic tension and used it to the full to create a hilarious night of entertainment.
Everyone played their part on the night but Barbara Treen and Mary Field excelled in their roles as twittering old aunties Martha and Abby. Their dead-pan approach showed perfectly the naivety and irony of their characters who, in their own little world, took a moral high ground on giving their victims a 'good
Christian burial' in the cellar and praising police for the good jobs they did in protecting them, despite being murderers.
That aspect, coupled with the brilliant Rory McGhie, who as favourite nephew Mortimer, was frantically running around trying to cover up the old dears' antics made this production. His comedy timing, erratic actions and mannerisms were immense - especially against the backdrop of the aunties' incessant ramblings.
Malcolm Berwick was suitably evil as prodigal baddie Jonathan and his side-kick, alcoholic surgeon Dr Einstein, was well-played by Roger Goddard.
And, if all that wasn't enough, Chris Hall was also fantastic as eccentric fantasist Teddy Brewster who believed he was American President Roosevelt. His brief appearances added even more laughs to the mix in what was a frantic comedy that you just could not take your eyes off for a minute.

I love this necklace and its message! Simply Beauty.
the pendant is lovely and unique ...nothing around here like it...friends want to know where I got it...may only wish is that the chain had of been 20" instead of 18
I absolutely love this pendant! I have not taken it off since I received it a couple weeks ago and it has held up wonderfully. Thank you for such lovely and inspirational products.
Always Experiencing Him,
The necklace is nice but the lettering isn't all that clear. You can tell what it says but I wish a couple of the letters weren't stamped so hard.
My husband bought this necklace for me, and I absolutely love it. The design is simple with an old world feel. Beautiful. Simply beautiful! I don't want to take it off ever!!

What made u decide to choose the wood grain? What is the mission of this brand, what is logical attire exactly?I decided to to go with the woodgrain simply because I've always felt that materials such as wood and leather ment a higher quality product, plus it looks cool and different than just a solid color background. The whole story behind us is simply we're some kids that took some time out of busy lives to try and make some nice clothes. We consider quality to be the top priority and wont take any substitutions. As for what we are, we are just a small company ran by the homies for the homies.

"My granddaughter is growing up so fast. I thought this mug would help me remember her at age 3. May consider additional purchases for upcoming years. Love that the product is dishwasher and microwave safe."
"This card was BEAUTIFUL I LOVED IT the gold went so well with my pictures and the quality was AHHHHMAZNG! I'd recommend this to everyone! Just be careful how you fold it... Kinda easy to mess up."
"My notepad is the best! I get compliments from everyone since I personalized it with my children's pics! The quality of the paper is great. Real thick."
"Nicely textured cardstock and printing. I love having the options to change the shape of the card. I used this card to welcome guests of a variety of ages to a couples shower. I wanted a card that wouldn't scare off the guys, but grandma still approved of."
"The bluish background color had a more retro feel when I received it, but it looked great. Have had nice feedback from friends who received it."

Thngs I would like to see or sayonara (maybe):
- Credit for half sacks - Is it too much to ask that a half sack be credited with 3 points (sacks in our league are worth 6 points). We don't use the fractional points system and have been told that is the only way to get the credit. It is an official stat isn't it?
- League Finances - Add a tab. Most other free sites have this function (Yahoo, ESPN, etc.).
- League History or trophy room - We've had our league since 2004 and the history of winners is located on an Excel page that I have for keeper purposes...
- Special place for Overall points leaders - It's kinda cosmetic but to have the Overall Points on a small little space on Stats under the League tab is kinda weak. We have a playoff and overall points winner and I know some of the dumbbutts in my league can't find the Stats section so I post it on the Message Board.
Just some thoughts....

Finance tab that tracks transactions per owner. it would help out commishes that also play so they have one less thing to worry about and can concentrate on their own team more. I've personally asked for this for 5 years. Every year, I get this almost exact quote: "That is something we're very concerned about and it is a priority for next years season" or "We're working on it" but it always ends up in the same result....nothing. When Fleaflicker was originally property of AOL, there was a finance tab and everything was beautiful, the skies opened up and rays of sunshine showed down upon Fleaflicker. Once it changed hands however, it got cloudy...very cloudy. Now I understand the idea of the game has progressed but progress doesn't mean eliminating a necessity but rather improving it. I've posted and posted until my fantasy football fingers have bled. I truly regretful for being a "downer" but real change doesn't happen unless the masses are heard AND understood. We really appreciate the free site but there are others out there that offer these things. As a long time commish, i'd personally like to have things to make my job easier than things like logo's but that's just me. Thanks for the audience....

Keep at it. There have been hundreds of good ideas posted in this forum over the years that would actually improve this site, but unfortunately most aren't addressed or are "not going to happen for the current season, maybe next year." One year the biggest "upgrade" was the logos you mentioned. The small site charm has long worn off and all of the little things that made FF stand out from other sites have been adopted by those other sites.

Airlines making some changes
Starting January 26th Airlines will have to disclose the FULL airline fare in advertising. Example....today they might say the flight is $160...but after all the fees and fineprint...the flight is actually $218. Starting January 26th airlines have to advertise the real price of $218...not $160. Love it!
