Had T. Murali not taken up the paintbrush, he would probably have become a historian. Not the 'State-approved' historian telling stories of the victors, but someone who reclaims the missing pages and brings back the lone voices of protest of the subaltern which were eclipsed from our collective memories.
So, the exhibition of Murali's paintings 'Images of resistance,' which began at the Alliance Francaise on Wednesday, would be of equal interest to art connoisseurs as well as students of history, with an open mind that is. The three paintings of Nangeli, who cut off her breasts in protest against the inhuman mulakkaram (breast tax) imposed by the erstwhile Travancore kingdom, serves as an introduction to his work.
"There were more than hundred different types of such taxes in this kingdom. When we talk now of the immense wealth that they possess, the question of how this was attained is forgotten," says Mr. Murali, a native of Kannur.
Beyond art
In a case of going beyond his art, he also traced a descendant of Nangeli in present-day Cherthala. He has chronicled the visit along with the paintings, to those who still question the authenticity of the Nangeli legend.
Another recurring theme in his work is that of the wiping away of Buddhist culture and history, which existed in Kerala a few centuries ago. He also questions the celebration of Vamana and also asks why Kollur Mookambika is a 'silent goddess.' An accompanying set of photographs show the changes that the idol at Kollur has undergone over the centuries. The architect who lost his hands after the construction of Taj Mahal is also remembered here.
Against monopolies
He critiques the idea of a 'Sarvanjapeedam,' which he calls a monopoly of knowledge by silencing those who are knowledgeable than the one on the peedam.
Moving to contemporary concerns, he virtually recreates the crime scene of the Sister Abhaya case and also comments on the politics of violence in Kannur, with an evocative image of a man lighting a bomb with a lit cigar. The spaces between the individual paintings can perhaps be seen as the mainstream history, which he cares two hoots about.
The exhibition is on till May 28.

Florida Panthers (17-17-2) at Carolina Hurricanes (18-15-4), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Carolina Hurricanes will try to match their longest
winning streak of the season when they host the Florida Panthers in tonight's
Southeast Division clash at RBC Center.
The Hurricanes have won their last three games to pull within one victory of
the club's four-game streak from Dec. 11-18. Unfortunately for Carolina, the
club lost three straight in regulation in between the two hot stretches.
Carolina, which is five points out of playoff berth in the East, has
outscored the opposition, 14-6, during its three-game win streak and is coming
off Saturday's 6-3 triumph over New Jersey.
Tuomo Ruutu had a goal and three assists to lead the Hurricanes to the New
Year's Day rout of the visiting Devils. Jeff Skinner and Sergei Samsonov each
scored twice while Zac Dalpe notched the other goal for the Hurricanes.
Carolina staked Cam Ward to a 4-0 lead in the first period and the goaltender
stopped 25-of-28 shots to make that four-goal edge stand for the win.
"That was a real good first period we had," said Carolina head coach Paul
Maurice. "It's a work in progress to get everybody to do it consistently, but
it worked out tonight and it's a good way to start the new year."
The Hurricanes had lost two straight and five out of seven on home ice prior
to Saturday's win. The club is 8-7-1 overall as the host this season and will
play its next two games on the road after tonight.
Carolina has played the last two games without forward Jussi Jokinen (upper
body) and defenseman Joni Pitkanen (lower body). Both players are questionable
for tonight's tilt.
Florida has notched a point in four straight games (2-0-2), but the Panthers
had lost two in a row prior to beating the visiting New York Rangers on
The 3-0 victory over the Rangers allowed Florida to end its three-game
homestand with a 1-0-2 record. The Panthers are 9-11-0 on the road this year,
but they have won four of their last six away from the Sunshine State.
Tomas Vokoun stopped 32 shots for his fifth shutout of the season as the
Panthers downed the Rangers, 3-0, at BankAtlantic Center. Chris Higgins, David
Booth and Stephen Weiss scored for the Panthers.
"They're a physical team and play hard, we knew we were in for a battle," said
Higgins. "Tomas always plays huge for us and when we give him a lead he's real
good at locking things down."
Panthers backup goaltender Scott Clemmensen could get the start in net tonight
rather than starting Vokoun on consecutive days.
Florida enters tonight as the last-place team in the Southeast Division, but
the Panthers are just three points behind Carolina in the standings.
The Hurricanes have won both meetings against Florida since losing the season
series opener on Nov. 5 in Sunrise. Carolina has taken four of the last six
overall matchups in the series and the Panthers have lost four straight and
six of their last seven in Raleigh.

Beautiful invitations
The invitations were beautiful, high quality, and good value for the cost. They were delivered quickly in a very nice package. I was very pleased with the product and service and would order again from MagnetStreet.
Beautiful winter wedding invite!
I love my invitations! I loved that I could completely change the back of the invite (to match the image on the front). It looks so beautiful! The upgraded linen paper was so worth it. The card stock feels great in hand and I think it eliminates some bending. Overall, I'm so happy! Only thing that could have made it better would have been glitter :)
Beautiful Results with Easy Personalization!
I had to make a fairly complex RSVP card, as we are having a destination wedding with several pre-wedding festivities. For someone without design experience, MagnetStreet made it so easy to customize. Additionally, the proof process was quick and easy. Highly recommend and would use again.
Wonderful quality
Wonderful quality and best prices I found after much searching. The design process took a bit of getting used to but all worked out beautifully in the end.

Great invites- I love them!!! The website can be a little frustrating to use, but when I did call once, they were super helpful!

Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) Review
Platform: Xbox, Playstation 2, PC (both the original and the just released Remastered Edition)
Released: 2005 (worldwide)
Developer: Quantic Dream
Publisher: Atari
Digital Release? Yes – Available on Xbox 360 as an Xbox Original and Remastered is on Steam ($9.99 for all versions)
Price: $8.00 (disc only), $10.99 (complete), and $46.97 (new/sealed) per Price Charting (prices are for PS2 version, Xbox/PC versions a bit lower due to re-release)
Jam's Take
Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy in America) is one of those games that attempted to create a interactive film experience. Some excepted this concept with open arms, some people frowned on it proclaiming it technically wasn't a game. Well several years has passed since that fateful release in 2005 so lets see if Fahrenheit is still worth investing in.
Fahrenheit's story has you following three character Lucas Kane a 9-to-5 IT worker who has a fondness for reading Shakespeare in diners, Carla Valenti a young cop who is claustrophobic and Tyler Miles, Carla's police partner and your typical comic relief in a cop duo but he likes basketball, which is ok in my book. Essentially New York as well as the world is starting to get cold, really cold and bizarre murders are occurring round the city where normal folk are killing innocent people then themselves. I won't spoil the story too much as it is the games strongest draw. What I will say is the game is filled with a fair few twists and turns playing out very much like a film, if it hooks you from the beginning it is very likely you will play through to the end.
Fahrenheit is a game that starts you off in one hell of a predicament. You start the story as Lucas Kane, during a brief period of possession Lucas cuts open his own wrists and then proceeds to stab the hell out of a innocent guy in the toilet. He then comes to his senses and the player takes control. This is quite something for a game as this rather tense moment is timed you can either go through a long process of hiding the body and the evidence and sneak out of the diner without anyone suspecting what you did, or you can just run out the door in a panic. The entire game is played out by the players decisions, some choices lead to death which means you have to re start the scene though there are usually multiple routes to progress through the story.
Gameplay wise you basically control your character with the left thumb stick and you then use the right thumbstick to interact with items in the world displayed on the top frame of the screen. The game then has this simon says quick time event system which plays out during the major action screens. You basically have to use both analogue sticks and move them in time with the displays on the screen. The game positions this in the centre of the screen so you can watch the action. Being the anxious gamer, I was much more concerned with getting the prompts correct than watching the scenes.
An important mechanic the game uses which I felt never seemed to have a big enough impact on the game as it should is the mood meter. Basically certain choices and decisions you make in the game will impact a small bar on the bottom right of the screen that pops up to show the mental stability of you character. Should your character get too depressed the game is over. It seemed like a great mechanic to use in the game maybe affecting how you react to other characters in the game, sadly it really doesn't have any impact on the story unless your intentionally getting your character depressed to see the game over scene. On that note that's one thing I admire about the game if you die or fail you get a scene that pretty much ends the story of the entire game rather than a typical game over screen. Of course you can try the scene again where you left off but this is a clever concept to close the story entirely should you not want to continue further.
Graphics for the game are standard affair. The 3D character models and environments are showing their age by today's standard of games. If you enjoy the story the graphics will not deter you from the experience, most of your experience will be spent in snowy environments and peoples apartments though there are a few surprise locations you will not expect. This game also used motion capture on the characters so most of the animations were carried out by real life actors. The game has a nice little documentary giving a over view how the game was made like a dvd extra which is something I wish more games incorporated.
The soundtrack to the game is pretty good. This games uses music from real artists like Theory of a Deadman and Nina Simone and giving them some pretty good exposure most likely increasing their own popularity and music sales. Even if your not too fond of the music the game does a good job using it at the right scenes where it would make sense to fire off a certain song like good old 'love TKO' by Teddy Pendergrass during a make out scene. The games score stands head over heals as the strongest music in the game, most of the melodies just feeling so hopeless and sad, matching the mood of each scene so well like a blockbuster film. Combining both the music and score together makes a killer combination which the game also allows you to listen to at your convince in the extras menu. In case that wasn't enough the voice acting is solid. This is pretty important for a game that is heavily story focused. Almost every character is believable in their role although occasionally you'll come across the odd line of dialogue from a character that just makes no sense usually from the background extras.
Fahrenheit is not a long game at all. Unlike most games this game is designed for you to see it through to the end, you will probably complete it in two long gaming sessions. Should the quick time events bother you too much you can turn the difficulty down making it a lot more manageable, which is something I actually recommend in this game since it is story focused. The game has multiple endings but after completing the game the first time it is unlikely you'll be playing through the story again straight away. This is one of those games you'll probably play through once a year and maybe just do things a little different compared to how you remember doing them before and you will most likely see scenes play out differently each time you play through.
Of course the big deterrent is if the story doesn't grab you then you won't like this game and will likely fall into the crowd of people who moan that this is a film not a game. Personally I praise designs like this but I guess a lot of that's stems from one of the other passions in my life which is of course is watching films and this game does a fantastic job of creating a interactive story telling experience that just works. The game isn't arcade action or FPS fragging, it's a unique game that allows you to determine your own path through it. I recommend this game for everybody to try especially to those who are looking for a more casual experience. Plus if nothing else if your a busy gamer this is one game I can assure you most people will complete.
Final Score: 3 out of 5 (review policy)
Fred's Take
When it comes to video games and what I like in them, I'm all over the place. I've claimed to be all about story, but then tear down the very genre that helped define storytelling in video games. At the same time I claim that Resident Evil is my favorite game of all time and it's not particularly good at gameplay or story, so despite how annoying my taste can sound, it really just comes down to how I feel about a certain game and not typically the sum of its parts. That's why I'm so ambiguous about what I think about Fahrenheit – yes, as Jam stated it's Indigo Prophecy in the States but that's all changed with the Remastered Edition and let's face it, Fahrenheit is the cooler and more appropriate title.
In one regard the game evolves the story from being a simple concept, a man who awakens to find a dead body with him in a bathroom, to a truly out of this world science fiction story with the entire world at stake. We don't take too long to get there either, which is another enchanting part to Quantic Dream's storytelling, and the progression is weaved in so naturally it's like the time you accepted a shark can blow up from an air tank in Jaws. All of this seemingly quick progression is pulled off thanks to the concept of taking control of multiple people, which is compounded by the fact that you're playing both the criminal on the run and the cops tracking him down, and the rarely pulled off concept of the unreliable narrator. When visions and reality start to blend with Lucas, especially when you mix those with the conceived true realities of Carla and Tyler, it makes for a quite impressive effect that you either allow yourself to get engulfed in or snub for face value. I have to admit that in 2005, many games were trying to do what Fahrenheit does, but it's one of the few titles that successfully pulled it off without becoming too boring or vague.
Now as I said I'm torn on the value of this game and clearly I'm on board with the story, but what hitches me is both the assembly of that story and the gameplay elements that get in the way much more often than they assist in the experience. Let's focus on the assembly of the story that I so graciously praised. It has you switching back and forth between Lucas, Tyler, and Carla on a regular basis, but already in the setup you can see the conflict of character development and plot dynamics: there is only one criminal and two cops. As a result we are forced to split the detective work between Tyler and Carla at the expense of learning too much about their personal lives in what starts off as nice touches to character development and ends up in what appears to be filler levels. The early establishing scenarios where we get to see Carla and Tyler's home lives is useful because there's a lot to take in visually while they are having a simple conversation on the phone. We learn about Tyler's relationship, both characters' apartments, the fact that Carla seems to own the same sleeping underwear outfit that David Cage puts in every female lead he has in a game, but I feel that beyond those moments we are then led on odd wild goose chases for simple snippets of data or clues that could be best integrated into a larger scene surrounding it. Jam felt this game was short, but the first time through probably took me around 10 hours and frankly I only felt that about six or seven of those hours (and the scenes they contained) were worthwhile. I'll give credit to the fact that Quantic Dream was still trying to figure out how to skate the line between movie and game – which they still haven't figured out and no longer holds water with later titles – but many games in the mid 2000s were shorter than Fahrenheit and had more to offer as well.
Then we come to the "gameplay" elements, the weakest link in all Quantic Dream games. Aside from a bit of tank-controlled point-and-click adventure shenanigans, you are mostly left to play through action sequences via quick-time event (QTE). I'm not the biggest fan of QTEs, but not because I find them difficult or without value, and rather because they change your focus from the action going on in the game to arbitrary button prompts along the borders of the screen. A perfect example of this is the office sequence early in the game, where Lucas has to escape from a surprise attack (I won't spoil what), and you're forced to ignore the relatively cool sequence of events as Lucas evades his attackers. Did you get to see those events? Can you revel in the interesting close calls and near misses? Nope, because you were busy looking at the bottom of the screen for the next blue arrow or X prompt. It begs you to do two things at once: watch the action and play the game. Few can do this and I'm definitely not of that smaller group. This gets even worse when the game really ramps it up in the middle and forces you to do an insane series of button prompts in Lucas's apartment during an apparent dream where a pathetically rote series of casual visuals play the backdrop. This portion is double-fail for me because it not only shows off how stupid the QTE element is and the frustrating nature to which it's integrated, but also that the developers didn't even bother to couple it with something interesting on the screen. By the time I completed that sequence that had nearly 100 button presses and the ability to only fail 3 of them (I will admit I believe I was on hard difficulty), I was both physically exhausted and had about had enough of Fahrenheit. Aside from investigation and QTE, there are a handful of stealth elements in an military base that prove Quantic Dream is also terrible at stealth. Put it all together and I felt at times like the game was daring me to quit.
As you can see, my thoughts on Fahrenheit are all over the place. It's like an ex-girlfriend that was so crazy I couldn't bear to stay with her but the good times we had were so acute that I couldn't imagine not going back. This game always tempted me with some interesting plot points and that air of mystery right before slapping me across the face with challenges that go against everything I like about video game difficulty. In the end I can admit that I love the over-arching plot and the ending is something worth seeing through, but that doesn't me an I have to like the potholes I found myself in on a semi-regular basis. I guess in short, play the game on easy.
Final Score: 3 out of 5
Did you know that Quantic Dream recently released the Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered version of this game that upgrades the visuals and adds controller support on PC? Oh and I guess everyone's all overjoyed that the censored sex scenes in the US version of the game are back in all it's polygonal video game detail, for whatever that's worth. It's only been out for just over a week, but against his better judgement Fred will be taking a quick look at it for this week's Retro Game Night so watch for a video with snarky commentary to go live on Saturday. Hell, it may just convince you to give this unique title a try.
Podcast: Test Your Might
This week Fred and Jam are throwing around fighters of the 90s (that aren't Street Fighter II or Tekken, we did a show for those already). In the 1990s, the fighter genre was the most popular type of game available (like First Person Shooters today), and among those that have withstood the test of time there were plenty of others that played the field. From Mortal Kombat to Soulcalibur you had plenty of arcades (and home ports) to drink your quarters in arcades.

Retro Game Night: Night Slashers X
This week, and for the first time ever, we are using emulation to capture a Beats of Rage engine remake, Night Slashers X. This was originally a 1994 Data East arcade beat-em-up that got ported over with extra violence on the open source brawler engine, Beats of Rage. This also marks the first video in full 1080p HD! Watch for more HD videos, most of which should be in 720p or 1080p in the future.
Podcast: Ah Ah Ahhhhh
This week Fred and Jam are discussing the misadventures of Master Chief, at least in terms of the Bungie developed ones. What started out as a Real Time Strategy (RTS) title for the Mac ended up ironically being the launch title for the Microsoft Xbox that has withstood the test of time and is to this day one of the strongest properties in gaming.

Jam's Take:
Project Zero 2: Crimson Butterfly is a sequel to the original horror PS2 hit that brings more of everything. More ghosts, more places to wander around and more pictures than a bachelors degree in photography. But is this game a picture worth hanging on your wall or maybe more suitable as a Christmas greeting card?
After surviving the mansion incident from the first game you find yourself now playing as a totally different character in a different setting. This time you play as a young girl called Mio Amakura and occasionally your messed up twin sister Mayu. After becoming lost in Minakami forest you stumble across a village. What could possibly go wrong here? Well it doesn't take long for you to figure out that the place is haunted with the tortured souls of its dead inhabitants as well as that something weird is affecting your twin sister Mayo. The plot is completely separate from the original Project Zero title. The only main link being that you find the Camera Obscura, which is the same device in the first game, as a weapon. You use it to snap the things that go bump in the night – this time its an entire village as opposed to just a mansion. The plot of this game is rather complicated and felt quite hard to follow. Like the first game, there are several documents littered around the place providing you with some background information on what happened to the village and its inhabitants.
Project Zero 2 does make a couple of changes to the series as well. First off, the game now has a novice mode for those gamers who are just utterly terrified of the "brave" normal mode. Saying that, even normal mode comes across as significantly easier than the first game in the series. The most significant gameplay adjustment is taking pictures of the ghosts. Like the first game you wander around in third person and when you want to take a picture you switch to a first person perspective. A small yellow bar will be highlighted indicating that your picture will damage the ghost. Items of interest can be photographed and highlighted in blue in the view finder, taking the picture will usually help unlock a door or solve a puzzle. In this game you are practically encouraged to get up close and personal to the ghouls to take damage from them, the closer you get the more the yellow bar fills. If your used to the charging mechanic of the first game, that mechanic may confuse you at first as it is not made entirely clear when taking a picture will damage the ghost. Similar to the first game there is an opportunity to take a picture at just the right point to do maximum damage, called a "Zero shot," and your HUD bar will highlight totally red when you have this opportunity. Unlike the previous games ghost encounters may have more than one ghost, they may even last longer, which is saying a lot as ghosts encounters in the first game were not a short experience. Not only that, encounters can be random anywhere in the game, it is not advised to hang around in a room doing nothing for too long.
You can upgrade the camera, which has been made a lot easier from the first. You accumulate points to upgrade by snapping pictures of the ghoulies and you also find spirit stones for upgrade slots hidden around the game. To upgrade the camera you need to use a spirit stone first to activate the slot and then have enough points to solidify the upgrade. This unique way of upgrading seems to be a way of preventing the player upgrading the camera too quickly. Just like the first game you can also load your camera with different types of film that will do different amounts of damage and specific effects. These are in limited supply and scattered across the village.
You will regularly encounter puzzles throughout the game and many of them involve you using the camera at a specific spot to unlock a door. The game will also give you logic puzzles to solve like rotating dials to match the colours. A lot of the game feels like a giant Easter egg hunt where you wander around an area looking for key items to solve a bigger puzzle. You can save your game as many times as you want at designated lamp points; however, if there is a ghost in the area the lamp will go out preventing you from saving. Taking a snap shot and vanquishing the spook will enable you to once again use the save point. This mechanic was in the original game as well and is a great way of making you feel that nowhere is safe.
Graphically the game does an excellent job of recreating a spooky village. You really feel like you're alone as you wander around this creepy place with the sense that something is watching you, and it usually is. Ghosts appear to look surprisingly solid, which I'm not entirely sure is a good thing. Ghosts take on the forms of members of the villagers who once lived there and there are a huge number of ghosts in comparison to the first game. You'll encounter blind ghosts, priest ghosts, children ghosts, and my favourite the crazy suicide ghost who attack you by constantly falling from a high up altitude. Of course this ghost was not meant to be funny but it did make me laugh more than tremble with fear. There are of course a lot of ghosts which just seem to hang around in the village. They won't attack you, they act as the collectables in the game. Taking images of ghosts in the game and saving them to a separate photo album file will unlock additional costumes for Mio and Mayu.
The question I just could not help asking in Project Zero 2 was: so when does this game get scary? To be fair this game has several eerie moments but I never particularly felt scared or in danger when playing this game. Once again I am comparing this to the original game which seemed to contain scenes I found very unsettling. Saying that the developers apparently toned the horror down for this game to encourage players to actually finish the experience.
Project Zero 2 is certainly easier than the first game and a lot more accessible to people new to the series. Ammo and health items are very easy to come by even on standard difficulty. Some may find the pace of the game a little slow and frustrating as you wander around the village looking where to go next, the game does have a handy map if you get completely stuck. Once you get over the first few hours of the game you should be able to finish between eight to ten hours the first time through. The game does have multiple endings to experience and you are encouraged to play through the game multiple times to unlock extra difficulties, costumes and collect a picture of every damn ghost in the game if your a hardcore collector.
Overall, Project Zero 2 is a solid game but as you could tell from this review I could not help constantly comparing it to the original. The game changes the gameplay mechanics for the camera in a way I don't think is as enjoyable by timing the right shot as opposed to charging it up. The story didn't really draw me into the world or care as much for the main characters. When the game was finished I was quite surprised as it just seemed to abruptly end. Saying that, the game is a lot easier and more appealing to people new to the series. Unfortunately the game will still only appeal to a niche audience. If you want to try a horror game that tries things different from the typical survival horror experience I recommend giving this a try. If you liked the original I'm pretty sure you'll find this game enjoyable. For everyone else this is a tough game to recommend. Though I had fun with the game I favour the original more, but felt compelled enough to look at the sequel.
Fred's Take:
Unlike Jam, I have not played the first and thus do not have to worry about comparing the two. What I have a harder time with is wrapping my head around why this game is so popular in US horror gaming circles. I get what appeals in other Japan-centric games like Silent Hill or even potentially Resident Evil - disturbing images and big squishy monsters – but I never understood that supernatural appeal vibrant in Japanese ghost stories. These stories in visual media always break the universal rules of good horror: they are complicated tales instead of a simple plot, you see the danger in full view instead of off screen or lingering in the shadows, and they don't clearly end. Fatal Frame II is all of these things and I just don't understand the appeal.
Despite this fact, it is a decent game that encompasses solid mechanics and a great world to explore. Whereas many found it to be an unsettling attack to the senses, I found to it to be a great exploratory simulation of events and locations I'd never have to the guts to tread in real life. I always talk about games being haunted house simulations, which is more of an American view in that I'm expecting big gory beasts and graphic violence, whereas Fatal Frame II is literally a series of haunted houses you have to reconcile. The village is flooded with souls that are both at peace and tortured, but you may never know who these people are or why they fit in either camp (except for whether or not you can damage them with the camera) thanks to the brunt of the plot being in collectible books. Reading those books isn't the issue, its knowing whether or not you have found all of them and the game's complete lack of care whether you did or not, that I start having issues with. When unraveled the tale is quite simple, but far be it for the developers to present it that way and instead you end up circling the same concepts and stories a few dozen times before you can comprehend what even happened by the time the credits roll. Fatal Frame II does effectively capture the strongest sense from Japanese ghost stories, which is to screw with your perspective and corrupt something you love. It's very good at that. It messes with you.
Combat is consistent, although figuring out the inner workings of how that all comes to pass takes time. Just when you think you've figured out a mechanic, the game allows other ghosts you encounter to change or break the rules you just figured out. Perhaps you could always snap a shot of a ghost coming out of invisibility the last time but this time the ghost's ability is to disappear when it's fully visible and you have to hit it at a different time or distance. Maybe the ghost is in plain view but because the camera doesn't turn yellow/red you can't snap a photo for damage. Maybe a girl is literally falling out of the sky to her death and although she's invisible has the ability to hurt you when she lands even though other ghosts walk right through you. It's a bit irritating at first until you realize you have plenty of health and healing items for trial and error, but when faced with a ghost that can't be exorcised or one that kills you in a single touch (or both) the annoyance of the battle system can get the best of you. I just had a hard time being threatened by enemies that I can walk through, in many points of animation can't harm me, and consistently go invisible. Then again, I was scared to death and on the edge of my seat as I navigated a room plagued by a one-hit death ghost.
With all the focus on exploration – whether it's fighting a new enemy, looking for something specific, or trying to find out where your half-goofballs sister is gallivanting to next – I was hoping I'd be looking for more interesting items. The random unnecessary books that document the past, present, and potential future of The Lost Village and your place in it are fascinating little tidbits of lore, but those are completely optional as are the content spirits lingering about. What is necessary is annoying fetch quests that have you finding stupid little stones in the ground with fragments of a key, assembling a doll from six or seven different parts strewn about, or traversing an entire house only to find the item you need was in the first room you entered and having to re-trace your steps twice while you fetch and return with that item. It makes the relatively short game a bit long in the tooth.
In the end I guess I just wasn't in the mood for a traditional, non-violent, complicated ghost story about fetching things while your sister goes crazy. I did, however, have a good time getting through the game's 6-8 hour initial campaign and appreciating the moments, stories, and enemies that did make me smile and nod. Fatal Frame II is different from other games and it's well executed in what that specific game is, which is perhaps why it stands as such a pivotal title in the genre. Everything you experience, down to the final moments and multiple endings, assure you that if you're a fan of the likes of Ringu (The Ring) or Ju-On (The Grudge) that you'll be right at home with the eerie atmosphere Fatal Frame II has to offer. For me, this was nothing more than a unique style to a niche genre that, while well executed, just wasn't that much up my ally. Still, if you feel at home with a good old fashioned Japanese ghost story, complete with cryptic outcome, this may just be the game you've always been looking for.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
'Top Chef Canada' season 3 has largest pool of female contenders ever
TORONTO - "Top Chef Canada" launches a third season on Monday with its largest pool of female contenders to date.
This time there are five women chefs vying for the title on Food Network Canada, compared to three in seasons 1 and 2.
And according to renowned chef/head judge Mark McEwan: "The women were the toughest men in the kitchen."
"Stay tuned, it's going to be an amazing season," he added in a recent interview. "People will be shocked and surprised."
And hopefully inspired, said resident judge Shereen Arazm.
"We know we have a lot of young viewers and I'm hoping that young girls who are fans of the show are going to be inspired to follow their dreams if they want to be a chef."
In fact, it was a female chef from the show who made the winning dish (and clinched a $1,000 cash prize) at a recent Season 3 media event at McEwan's high-end Toronto restaurant North 44.
Rebecca (Becky) Ross, who was raised in Medicine Hat, Alta., made a dessert of cornbread with preserved peaches, whiskey cream and spiced pecans to beat out four other Toronto-based chefs from the show at a five-course tasting lunch.
Ross, 24, downplays the gender issue, though.
"Honestly, it's irrelevant. It's not about your gender, it's about how well you cook," said the former sous chef of Malena restaurant.
"It shouldn't be about your gender, it should be about your skill-set. So numbers of one or the other, it's just the statistics. Like, there's more men cooks out there."
"I'm representing cooks," she added. "Anybody should be able to get inspiration from anybody. It doesn't matter what gender you are or what race. If you cook well, then you deserve the recognition."
This season a total of 16 chefs from across Canada will compete for the grand prize of $100,000 as well as a GE Monogram kitchen worth $30,000 and a custom installation by Caesarstone Quartz Surfaces worth $25,000.
Contestants can also win weekly challenge prizes, resulting in the highest amount of rewards ever offered on the show that's based on the U.S. version.
"I don't know if that actually made it even more kind of aggressive and crazy, but the emotional stakes were really high this season," said series host Lisa Ray, star of films including "Cooking with Stella" and the Oscar-nominated "Water."
"We see a couple of serious breakdowns."
"Things happen on this season that have never happened on the American show or the Canadian show," teased Arazm, co-owner of Los Angeles restaurants including Terroni and Geisha House.
During filming for Season 3 last summer, hopefuls lived together in a condo with no phone, no computer and no contact with their families. They also had to travel "a lot" for various challenges, said McEwan.
Guest judges included acclaimed chefs Daniel Boulud, Robert Irvine and Elizabeth Falkner, Jody Claman of "Real Housewives of Vancouver" fame, singer Jann Arden and comedian Russell Peters.
McEwan — who is known for blunt, tough criticisms and stone-faced expressions on the series — surmised with a laugh that he "could be a good Clint Eastwood stand-in."
He also said he and his fellow judges have learned how to draw out the contestants and challenge them more.
"The chefs have never been under more pressure," said McEwan, whose other restaurants include Bymark, Fabbrica, and ONE.
"We kept them off-balance like never before this season. They didn't know where they were going to be and ... they didn't have one easy day."
"They're comparing it to waterboarding, in terms of torture, and we are the purveyors of that," added McEwan, who also has a cookware line, his own upscale grocery store and two published cookbooks.
"When you're under pressure and you're taking negative comments at you constantly, it wears on them."
That was particularly true for Toronto chef Dennis Tay, who fell off his bike and broke his wrist a few weeks before filming.
"I never thought, 'I shouldn't do (the show),' because I know how hard it is to get on the show," said Tay, 34, a former breakdancer who has worked alongside "Top Chef Canada" season 2 winner Carl Heinrich as the saucier at Richmond Station.
"Who knows if I'd ever get a chance like this again, so I had to do it with a broken arm or not."

This is exactly what is happening to me, I'm from Puerto Rico.
I had the Xoom 3G and currently have the HTC EVO. These 2 devices never had problems with the market, why?
1. The Xoom 3G contains mobile network chipset and is "carrier bound", in this case, Verizon. I've noticed that when a Honeycomb tablet is carrier bound, the owner will be able to see all apps permitted to the carrier country. In this case, since it's Verizon (US based), the market is fully open.
2. The HTC EVO (Sprint) is the same thing as the Xoom 3G.
Now, the interesting part: if a Honeycomb tablet is WiFi only, since there is no mobile network chipset, the market will use the current IP address to recognize the location (country) and filter apps for that country.
I sold the Xoom 3G for a Transformer (obviously, WiFi only) and since I'm in Puerto Rico, the market is too filtered, not even Adobe or most of Google apps are available.
The following 2 workarounds works for me:
1. I activated the hotspot on my HTC EVO, then did a factory reset on the TF. During the initial setup, I selected the WiFi connection provided by the Hotspot, since this WiFi contains a US based IP address (Sprint), the setup will recognize the location as US. After finishing the setup, the market will be fully open, not only that, the web version of the market (https://market.android.com/) will also recognize the TF as located on US and will keep it saved that way. After changing the WiFi back to the local network, I can still browse and install all apps to the TF from the web market, since it was setup with an US IP, but the market app will still filter the apps.
2. In the "My Apps" section of the market app, only those apps filtered to the country will be shown, so if there is an update for a specific filtered app, you won't see the pending update. In this case, I just reconnect the TF to the EVO hotspot WiFi and then restart it, when going to the market app, all apps will be there (My Apps) and I can see if there is any pending update for all installed apps. This method can also be used to install apps from the market app, it's just that the download speed will be probably slower than local network.

tell me if you think this is a blight disease on my peony
Hi all,
I planted this a few weeks ago and even before it went into the ground the leaves started to look sickly. I've tried to post an image and have wasted over 2 hours trying to figure out how to include it in the post without luck. I setup a webshot account, etc. and still can't show it as I now find out you can't even though I read on here how to. argh, just not that important to show it I guess. Anyway. if you can see it by going [IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb14/ultimatehipster/gardening/peonydisease003.jpg[/IMG] please let me know if you think it's a form of blight and what I should do. (from what I've read it's hopeless)
Well after all that, spoke to the nursery and they had me dig it up and dump it in a bag to keep from spreading disease. very sad. :( I feel that I caused it b/c I didn't plant for several weeks in the horrid humidity... now I need to research what I can do to the soil area that it was in to keep from contaminating other plants?

Since I've been brewing, I've enjoyed some really great beer..Here in Boston we have some really good guinness.I've been watching a DVD of a U2 show I was at, and getting a hankering for a pint..So I said to my wife that I was going to a local pub Donahues for a pint at 12:00..Kinda late but WTF....I really wanted one..I haven't brewed a stout yet..I hope I can come fairly close to what I drink here. My life would be complete if I couild brew a nice pint...
Just ramblng I guess....Thanks for listening...
Oh ya,,It was really really good......
Spezialisiert auf Deutsch Lagerbier...
FWIW, it's not terribly hard to brew a dry stout that's in the ballpark of guinness - there are a lot of good recipes out there. Many of them will get you a little more flavor than guinness, which many would consider a good thing.
Go out and look for a Guiness clone. It would be pretty easy to do I think. Just do pale malt some flaked barley and a slight bit of roasted barley for color but not too much roasted flavor. Do a 60 minute addition of EKG at the start, probably 2 oz and you're good to go.
I am not a big fan of stouts but I did make Brad's dry stout in the recipe databas and it is very easy and tastes great.
I only do extract batches right now..Are there recipes that are not all-grain?
Bottled: Petite Saison, Rye IPA
I think you could get by with steeping roasted barley and flaked barley. I used dry yeast but the next time I will try the Irish Ale yeast.
Here is one from the JadedDog >>> http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=26912

"I kissed the bottle, I shoulda been kissin' you"-jawbreaker
word of caution here, there are two things about real guinness that make it hard to reproduce exactly:
- the guinness people mix in sour guinness with each batch to give it a distinctive taste. you can try and reproduce this but i'm thinking it's pretty tricky
- the serving method - in pubs (and in those draught cans) nitrogen is used, which has tiny bubbles, thus giving the beer its distinctive look. now if you want to go crazy, you can keg with nitrogen (i think it's actually an N2/CO2 mix)
other than that - i think it's pretty easy to make a nice stout - roasted barley, flaked barley for steeping get the colour and also the creamy mouthfeel and some pale extract, nice dry fermenting yeast you'll get a very nice result. as budweiser are telling us in their ads - those dark beers can cover up all the errors
Thanks guys..I'm gonna brew one next weekend..Cheers.

Pop quiz: What is Kentucky's state bird? Who wrote My Old Kentucky Home? What is the name of the guy with the beard on the KFC sign?
These questions may be easy for adults, but your kids might not know as much about their state.
Create your own Kentucky quiz game with your kids by taking a trip to the library and using these books to let them find the answers.
Here is a cheat sheet of some resources written just for kids:
■ Kentucky (Rookie Read-About Geography) by Kimberly Valzania. Best for beginning readers, with words like "Appalachian" and "dulcimer" spelled out phonetically. This book provides a bare-bones overview for a short attention span.
■ B is for Bluegrass: A Kentucky Alphabet by Mary Ann McCabe Riehle. Run through the ABCs of Kentucky and learn quick facts with each letter. Find out why Bluegrass looks blue and who was the first person to be named a Kentucky Colonel. When you finish the book, start back at A and let your kids assign their own Kentucky words the second time around.
■ Kentucky by Andrew Santella. This is a good choice for a child who likes maps, charts and time lines. There is plenty of Kentucky knowledge packed into these pages for your kids to create their own trivia questions about dates in history or demographic facts.
■ Now That's Interesting: Kentucky's Capitol by K. Melissa Burton. Give your kid a civic education. With this read, children can learn the flow of power in state government or match names to faces of statues in the Capitol building.
■ Kentucky: Celebrate the States by Tracy Barrett. This choice is better used for older readers who can handle longer chapters. Your kids may be impressed to read that Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is a Kentucky native, as are Miley Cyrus' dad and plenty of other celebrities listed in the pages. The book also contains a recipe to make a hot Brown, along with plenty of geography info.
Once the quiz game ends, use what was learned as a guidebook. Talk about the chapter on Shaker Village if you're planning a day at Pleasant Hill, or revisit the fact chart about Mammoth Cave before a field trip there. Your kids might be stumping you on Kentucky trivia before you know it.

Giovanni Ribisi to Star in Seth MacFarlane's Fox Comedy 'Dads'
He'll reunite with the "Ted" writers and replace Tommy Dewey in the six-episode comedy.
Fox's upcoming Dads series is staging a Ted reunion.
Giovanni Ribisi has been tapped to replace Tommy Dewey as the star of the comedy from Seth MacFarlane and the creative team behind Ted, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
PHOTOS: The Faces of Pilot Season 2013
The comedy -- from Ted writers Alec Sulkin, Wellesley Wild and exec producer MacFarlane -- revolves around two successful guys (Ribisi and Seth Green) in their 30s who have their lives turned upside down when their nightmare dads unexpectedly move in with them.
Following the pilot taping last week, the role is being reimagined, and it made the most sense to recast the part. Ribisi will take over the role of Warner, co-owner of a successful video game company and a family man with a wife and two young children. Martin Mull will play Warner's father.
The casting reunites Ribisi with Sulkin, Wild and MacFarlane after he co-starred as Ted's kidnapper, Donny, in the 2012 Mark Wahlberg feature. The primarily feature actor also lent his voice to an episode of MacFarlane's Family Guy this season. On the TV side, Ribisi's credits include Entourage and Friends. He also is attached to reunite with the trio for their upcoming Western comedy feature.
STORY: TV Pilots 2013: The Complete Guide
Ribisi marks the second role recast in the series; Vanessa Lachey was recast for the part of Warner's wife (previously played by Erin Pineda) following the table read. Brenda Song, Peter Riegert and Tonita Castro co-star in the 20th Television and Fuzzy Door multicamera comedy that was picked up straight to series earlier this pilot season.
He's repped by CAA and Management 360.

Everton captain Phil Neville sees teammate Andy Johnson as the man to succeed Manchester United's injured striker Wayne Rooney in the England attack.
"AJ never let them rest for one minute, and that's what he's all about," said Neville. "I'm sure there will be a lot of talk about him playing for England next week now.
"I'm sure he would have played in the summer if he hadn't been injured.
"He has carried on from where he left off last season - he terrifies defenders. He's not just a goalscorer; his workrate is an example to every young striker in the game. He typified our spirit and work ethic. It starts from the front - and he's up there with the best."
The 26-year-old has not scored in Everton's consecutive wins this season, but Neville believes there is more to the striker's game since he came back from ankle surgery in the summer.
"I think he has come back and improved on his link-up play, his touch, awareness and passing," said Neville.
"He has gone up a notch or two and he has brought the confidence from last season into this. All that's missing is a goal - and I'm sure that will come.
"There were a few England strikers on show, but he really stood out. There are some good England strikers about, and I don't think we should be worried.
"We have a friendly against Germany - and it's the perfect time for Bent, Johnson and Defoe to be tested."

Practise Pilates for a Better Body
Pilates is a new fitness craze around the world and is catching up fast right here - in India! So the faster you acclimatize yourself with this new fitness fad, the easier it will be to decide if you want to do it or not. So is pilates here to stay? Lets find out.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk. In addition, pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's "core" or "powerhouse" (torso). People who do pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.
Pilates is essentially a physical fitness system developed in the 20th century by Joseph Pilates from Germany and it was originally used to rehabilitate bedridden or immobile patients during World War I.
How is Pilates different from yoga?
Both Yoga and Pilates have similarities and many differences. While both are mind – body exercises (exercises that require the right balance of mindfulness, correct postures and concentrated breathing to enjoy all the benefits they have to offer), Yoga goes a step further and is a teaching of mind, body, and spirit, adding the spiritual angle.
While Pilates has its origins in Yoga asanas, Yoga is not merely a physical exercise but is designed to facilitate serious contemplation. In other words, it tries to provide an integrated approach towards objective and transcendental knowledge. Stronger muscles, stress relief and improved circulation are essentially by-products of practicing Yoga. Pilates on the other hand, primarily tries to strengthen the core stability muscles of our body to improve the way we function in our daily lives.
Pilates isn't a life philosophy, it is simply a series of exercises designed to improve the strength of our core muscles around the abdominals, hips and lower back.
Benefits of Pilates
- Provides a greater awareness of posture.
- Tones and builds long, lean muscles.
- Strengthens deep abdominal muscles.
- Helps with motivation by engaging our mind and enhancing body awareness.
- Reduces stress, relieves tension and boosts energy.
- Promotes recovery from strain or injury.
- Offers relief from back pain and joint stress.
- Compliments sports training and develops functional fitness for daily life.
Should you try it out?
Yes, if you want to try something new that compliments your current routine. If you already do Yoga, you could try Pilates for a variation and it's quite possible that you can do two completely different classes without them overlapping. If you don't do Yoga currently then Pilates is most certainly a valuable addition to your fitness routine, and can help you achieve a long, strong and lean frame.
