Darksiders II Review: Ashes to Ashes, Loot to Loot
(PC, PS3, XBOX 360, Wii U)
A safe, but thoroughly satisfying home-cooked meal.
A followup to Vigil Games' 2010 title, Darksiders II places you in the role of the Horsemen Death as you're tasked with clearing the name of your wrongfully accused brother, War. As you could probably guess, this mad-capped romp of redemption takes place throughout the Yggdrasil and various locales made famous through Norse mythology (huh?). To be perfectly blunt, none of the story elements of Darksiders II mattered to me. I could care less about Death's gruff monologues and the history of the world around him. What kept me absolutely hooked on the game was its perfect mixture of tried and true mechanics, scenarios, and systems.
Darksiders II isn't a night out at an exotic new restaurant, but rather a hearty meal at ma's house. It's a simple, but undoubtedly delicious stew that leaves you warm, satisfied, and ultimately content with what you've just experienced. It doesn't use foreign spices and new tastes to liven up the meal, but that's alright with me; the recipe is perfectly proportioned and reminds us of why we love ma's cooking to begin with.
The meat of the game is a sprawling open world peppered with well-designed dungeons all set inside Norse mythology. The chunks of potatoes are the traversal on foot, which plays out with the acrobatic flair of the Prince of Persia, and by horse, a hell-beast which can be summoned at will akin to Agro or Epona. The thick cuts of veggies come in the form of quest structure and loot drops so addictively nuanced that they rival those of any Blizzard titles. These ingredients all simmer together to create a game that, although not terribly original, is fantastically pleasing. But the real kicker that puts the meal over the edge is that secret spice that's been passed down from generation to generation -- in Darksiders II, that flavor comes in the form of a consistent stream of rewards that keeps the player from ever wanting to put down the controller and walk away.
For Death, Christmas comes roughly once every minute. The world of Darksiders II is crammed with hidden chests, secret alcoves, and impassable obstacles that require you to return once you've gained a certain ability. Aside from these environmental trinkets are the prizes that Death receives upon vanquishing each and every one of his foes. Vigil has perfected the art of the loot drop into a science -- not a minute goes by where you aren't rewarded with new equipment, quest items, or skill points that can be used to branch out your ability tree.
Speaking of your skill tree, it can't be stated enough how well the moment-to-moment action of Darksiders II actually feels. The combat is swift, smooth, and super responsive. Transitioning from an opening volley from your pistol, to a series of quick slashes from your scythes, to a heavy thrust of your hammer, and finally capped off with a visit from a cacophony of familiars is simple and feels absolutely great. Mobs of enemies provide just the right amount of challenge, never dipping into the realm of frustration while still providing enough of a challenge to keep you on your toes.
While so many of game's elements work together with absolute precision, there are sadly a few areas in which it absolutely flounders. As great as it is that you're amassing quests and loot at such a rapid rate, having to sift through these via the menu is an absolutely nightmarish ordeal. The various elements of the game are each allotted a tab in the menu, and most tabs have several subsections that can be fingered through as well. Navigating through this library of information isn't instantaneous, but rather filled with slight moments of lag in between each folder, making for an arduous experience every time you hit the select button. Dark Souls, one of my favorite games of last year, suffered from similar woes, so it's not a problem that completely ruins an experience, but it's enough of a pain in the ass to warrant a brief rant.
Also rotten in the state of Asgard are the rather uninspired realms that Death finds himself adventuring through. While there's nothing particularly offensive about the visuals in Darksiders II, few areas in the game managed to capture that sense of awe and wonder that other massive adventures like Okami managed to dole out on a regular basis. The pure fun of the game kept me playing, but I can't help but wish that part of the reason I couldn't put the controller down was to experience the vista or see what phenomenal sight lay over the next hill.
Despite all odds, Darksiders II absolutely won me over. It may lack the polish or grandiosity of certain classics, but it makes up for that with sheer moxie. When you go back home for a meal you've been eating since you were a kid, you kind of know what to expect. This is in no way a bad thing, and nothing cures homesickness quite like comfort food. Without experiences like Darksiders II, gamers would just be skin and bones -- jaded at the thought of anything that doesn't try to change the world. I guess what I'm trying to say is that fun really does conquer all.

Loot... For Real?Posted: Sep 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by Osiren
Who ever thought while playing Darksiders 1.... "Hey I wish I could waste more time picking through gear like i did in TooHuman" Has to be the DUMBEST addition to an action game EVER! I never wanted loot in Devil May Cry, and I damn sure don't want it in my Darksiders.
Great title but the flaws hold it back.Posted: Aug 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by NotYourAverageGamer81
At least in my opinion some of the flaws (At least on the PS3 version) hold it back from being a great title. Don't get me wrong I love this game haven't put it down much since I've gotten it but the loading times when I"m traversing the world, and just the button placement. Trying to hit L1+O or whichevever mapped ability just makes my hands hurt. Not sure if this is a problem with the Xbox version or if these problems are on any other platform. But all in all it's an enjoyable experience just wish they could have done something about that loading time thing.
It kind of makes me laughPosted: Aug 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Naphtali
It's about the biblical apocalypse but is chalk full of norse mythology? Did I see a dwarf with a braided beard? Just like the one Moses had no doubt! I'm dying over here. It's like they tried to come up with an interesting twist but it's so far out of their creative wheelhouse that they just fell back on what they're most comfortable with; which is apparently World of Warcraft-ish fantasy tropes (not to mention visual design).
Suspension of beliefPosted: Aug 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by nukkldragr
This isn't non-fiction. Roll with it.
wowPosted: Aug 20, 2012 12:00AM PST by nukkldragr
an intelligent response on a gaming website. Well played sir.
lovin' it so far...Posted: Aug 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by nukkldragr
The games been a blast so far. The dungeons definitely take some thought to get through by trial and error but not to the point of frustration. Fighting is fluid and varied. I feel the voice acting is also done quite well.
Then there's the loot, oh the loot.
Strangely, I don't find navigating the menus that frustrating at all as Marty mentioned-the lag is hardly noticeable. Also I've been completely glitch free without any sign of framerate issues either (playing on PS3).
Legacy of Kain!Posted: Aug 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Sendintank
Why do I never read any comments comparing this to the LOKseries? I love both and if you haven't played either Soul Reaver games or Defiance, you must go and do so right now.....right now.
New to the series..Posted: Aug 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by Off_Tandem
Completely missed the original; the interest never having accrued to anything above mild curiosity, but for some reason I'm excited to get my hands on this.
It could be the reviews, advertising, or something supernatural... but most likely just due to that one magic word: "loot".
Also for the record, Dark Souls was also one of, if not my favorite game of last year. Much respect, Marty.
Not Remotely InterestedPosted: Aug 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by blackangel72
I, for the life of me, couldn't get into the first game...I imagine (after seeing the B rating) that i'd have a hard time getting into this one. God Of War killed it for all other games in the genre. I'll wait for this to hit the 9.99 price and try to muster up some interest for it then.
Shadow of Death armor is useless at level 5Posted: Aug 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by Bandersnatch786
If you get the limited or collector's edition, you'll get a voucher to download the Shadow of Death pack which has some weapons and armor for Death. They look completely badass on him but once you reach the required level to wear them, you'll already have better gear which is a shame. It's cool to have as a novelty but shouldn't have been a selling piece for the limited and collector's edition of the game. It just doesn't give any advantage to the game at all.
Looking forward to it!Posted: Aug 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by yummyjibblybits
The review hits the nail on the head. Darksiders was never about innovation ( Hell it didnt even change the colours of the Portals ) it was just about fun. Nothing too serious, cant wait for this one!! :-)
Nah.Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by DragonMageDrake
The first Darksiders was O.K. Darksiders II, from all the reviews I've read anyway, looks to be more of the same. Not worth it in my opinion. It crosses between Zelda, DMC, and Diablo yet never reaches the pinnacle of one of them. In a packed fall to holiday lineup, a must pass I'm afraid.
Install Option?Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Kigaba
Nice solid, review. Given that the one piece of the puzzle that seemed to annoy you the most was the lag during accessing the menu screens, does the PS3 version have an install option? (This will not be a deal breaker for me but curious as to whether an install could help alleviate that issue...) Thanks.
Doesn't matter...Posted: Aug 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by Bandersnatch786
Doesn't matter if you install or not... the menus will still have a delay between each tab.
Food Metaphor!Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by GunnyMcSword
I'm hungry now.
Norse mythology?? Ummm what?Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by toolfan667
I could have sworn this came out of the bible. Which although how you look at is myth, fiction or non fiction how ever you want to take it all in. But dang at least review the game from the perspective it was meant to be reviewed from. This type of review misleads readers. I for one an impressed that Vigil took the new fresh idea of using the 4 Horsemen in a game. Which storyline wise is an amazing idea. I have zero interest in Norse mythology. But others may have zero interest in the bible perspective as well. So to each his own, but just make sure the locale is correct.
That's the whole pointPosted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by GunnyMcSword
Death one of the four horsemen to herald the end of the world is from the bible. The game developers places him in Asgard. The reviewer was mentioning how odd the whole scenario was.
Enjoying itPosted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Known_ware
I've been enjoying the game so far. I really hope it stays that way though. I've been quite busy with work and other things but hope to keep playing!
MartyPosted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by DipDopson
Could you say what type of PS3 you used?
Sure...Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by McBiggitty
I played through it on my 40GB unit that I bought back in 2008.
Glad to hear itPosted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Idiot-Savant
I knew this Darksiders would bring more to the table, but my experience with the last game also taught me that nothing "new" would be coming to this series (yet), which discouraged my interest in the game. It's good that these familiar practices were implemented well.
Regarding side-quests, how are they doled out? Are there random NPCs with "!" over their head, or something else? And at what frequency do you get them? KoA: Reckoning showed me the unexpectedly dark side of extra content, where there were so many "kill this, get that" quests, I stopped caring.
What platform was it done on?Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hellslinger1
So far I've seen every review talk about bugs but Kotaku says the PS3 is so bad that you shouldn't get it.
PS3...Posted: Aug 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by McBiggitty
I played through it on PS3 and encountered no bugs whatsoever. Kotaku sits on a throne of lies.
What they mean is...Posted: Aug 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by Bandersnatch786
In some spots of the game when you're climbing wooden beams, when you spin Death around to face another direction and you try to jump to another beam, he jumps in a completely different direction. The reviewers just think they can speed run these kinds of things without ever having to put the thumbstick back to the center position but that's just not the case.
Another thing that has bothered some people is how Death slowly walks while his pistol is out and you're not aiming at anything but he's still targeting something.
I say these aren't bugs, one just being a badly programmed game mechanic, the other being simple impatience. This game is awesome... it just kicks so much ass.
Just finished the land of the dead.Posted: Aug 28, 2012 12:00AM PST by Shiranui86
Still haven't had a single bug happen to me other than landing on a few areas that I obviously wasn't supposed to land on. Nothing I couldn't jump off of though. The game has played great for me. I quickly learned a quick roll will get me out of the slow walking with a gun out.

Thank you to all of Ron's customers for giving him a special reason to deliver mail in your neighborhood everyday. He truly enjoys his job and brings home some great stories for us to hear. He was especially touched by the "surprise" party in his honor at the Brew's house! He will really miss every one of his customers and will think about you all while we are living in Texas! You all have his cell phone number, so if you miss him badly - give him a call!
Thanks to the writer for the very special article about my husband!

2001 Mazda Tribute Question: Rough idle
Answer #1DaveJHM October 08, 2010, 01:31Master
Cold engine coughing and sputtering...leads me to think that there may be problem with the idle air control valve sticking, causing air/fuel mixture issues. Something in that area. Also check for any vacuum leaks or unmetered air (broken air tube/air box) getting into the intake.
Replyvrsecond, January 16, 2011, 11:47Rookie
I had similar issues coughing/sputtering-thereatens to die, Idle air control valve was replaced-still the same issues are present. What else besides maybe a vacuum leak (which I did have one, but we fixed it too). looking for a "what next to look for" thanks.
ReplyDaveJHM, January 16, 2011, 14:09Master
Thinking of it today, my thoughts of coughing and sputtering and almost stalling makes me think of an unmetered air leak - broken air box, air tube leak. Or, an issue in the EGR system can do it. Last, fuel pressure is of course a possible cause - check base fuel pressure and then bleed down. The final thought would be about fuel quality -- and fuel blends. A warm weather blend in cold weather can cause poor running, and likewise cold weather blend in warm weather can cause rough running on a "hot soak" - this is when the car is driven, shut off for about 10 minutes, and then restarted.
In any case, you can do some basic diagnostic testing with a good diagnostic tool to check some of this out.
ReplyVisitor, March 09, 2011, 18:53
I had the exact same problem and it is solved by replacing the upper and lower manifold gaskets. Idle control valve replaced with zero result -- not the problem. EGR also replaced with no result. I sincerely hope that helps!

Welcome to Padmes!
My name is Meg, and I facilitate clairvoyant readings and energy healings. I offer Spiritual readings to help you live in affinity with your Soul's purpose in a healing and Reiki infused space.
I bring to the surface and help you release energy that no longer serves your life and Spiritual growth patterns—helping you remember your Soul's truth igniting and aligning your personal power with your Divine purpose.
Blockages that slow the flow of life-force energy can affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Symptoms show up in our lives as relationship issues, at work, or even in moods and body ailments.
When you feel an imbalance in your life or your heart has driving questions, it's your higher self that is moving you to find your path to Divine peace.
Padmes Reiki Readings & Soul Path Healing consist of a combination of healing modalities including Matrix Energetics, Usui and Kundalini Reiki, Theta Healing, the healing frequencies of Crystals, Crystal Reiki Grids, Tarot, and Intuitive and Clairvoyant empathic energy work. Get answers to questions that have been heavy on your mind, empower yourself by finding the truth, next steps in your life, and genuine contentment.
My Specialty is a Technique I call Reiki Readings
I work with the emotional body while I clairvoyantly see and hear the answers to questions you have. I use Matrix Energetics, Tarot, Reiki, and I empathically feel into situations to get more information on motivations and solutions. During sessions I help you to release and move energy that no longer serves you with a melding of energy modalities so that more space is left to fill with energy that will get you on track and in your flow with the Universe.
Goddess Reiki Shares
Each month I facilitate a Goddess Reiki Share. These are special women's gatherings for practitioners as well as those who wish to experience Reiki energy and learn more about the practice. We get together to heal ourselves, each other, our animals, and the planet. We use a crystal Reiki grid for Distance Reiki and then heal each other on massage tables, or yoga mats for anyone who chooses to be grounded on the floor for their session. You can RSVP to join in this group healing at GoddessReikiShare.com.
Schedule an In-person Session with Me at My Boulder Office or Schedule a Phone Session

*After buying your reading, please email me: firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know your questions and/or tell me a bit about your situation. I will get back to you within 48 hours and let you know when your reading will be sent to you.
Reiki Readings: Usui and Kundalini Reiki sessions are given while you relax on a massage table. During these sessions intuitive messages, guidance from your angels and guides, clairvoyant energy healing, and aura clearing flow together. I will gently work with you to uncover your true Soul Path and clear energetic blocks keeping you from your Divine blueprint so that you can heal and reconnect with your higher self and Spirit. This is a relaxing session and most often clients leave with feelings of peaceful confidence and connection to heart self.
Tarot Chakra Readings: Get information on each of your chakras with this special reading sent straight to your inbox. I will energetically look at your chakras and pull a card for each one in order to presently relay the energy that you're engaging in your life at this time. What is keeping you from your truth? What kinds of blocks are established in your energy field and which chakras are over-compensating for the ones that are not spinning at their potential? When chakras are blocked or filled with foreign energy (energy that is not your own), we can't fully stand in our power or awareness. The ability to stand in your own energy brings ease, effortlessness, and grace when achieving your dreams and goals. Understanding your energy and healing is the best way to bring your Soul Path into harmony. Get the answers and next steps you need to fully stand in your own power and true potential.

After search, veteran connects with fallen comrade's family
Lozada was a native of Brooklyn, N.Y. "We used to do that whole Red Sox/Yankees thing," Coutu remembered.
The incident haunted Coutu after he was released from active duty in 2006 and moved back to Pelham. He joined the Massachusetts National Guard, but he needed to do something more to recapture the camaraderie of his Army days. So he joined the Nam Knights motorcycle club, made up of veterans from all the recent conflicts.And on his first trip to the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in 2009, he found the white marble grave of his friend and comrade, Sgt. Angelo Lozada Jr., who had moved to Nashua after high school, unbeknownst to Coutu. "All this time I'd been home, I had no idea he was this close."
On the December Saturday when the Blue Star Mothers group organizes volunteers to lay wreaths at the veterans' cemetery, they all found each other at Lozada's grave. Coutu, who now lives in Lunenburg, Mass., met his comrade's sisters, brother and three kids, who are grown now.
"I felt like I knew him," she said. "I feel like he was part of my family already."
It was the first time she'd been at the cemetery for the wreath-laying, Jimenez said, although she had always wondered who was leaving the fresh green wreaths with the red bows at her brother's grave each December.
"To know that someone we didn't even know carried my brother's name tattooed on his arm ... ."
Coutu, who is married and has two stepchildren, said the meeting "made my Christmas."
"To me, they're extended family," he said.

should I remove the Keiki
Hi guys, so I have this very huge phal which lost its roots and it sprouted a baby plant. Now my problem is the baby now has two roots but the mother none should I remove the baby and give the mother the chance to focus on herself or should I leave it on the mother plant some more. The mother plant has very big firm leaves they are not drooping or wrinkled just no roots. Your advise would be welcome. I will post another pic so you can get a better look at the keiki. Thank for any sugessions. VELLETA
Thanks terpguy, I would love to save both plants so I will remove baby and pot in a mix of bark with a little spag seeing its still small but the smallest size clear pot I have is a four" would that be too big. This is my second keiki and I waited until the other was very big to remove. Also the other one was sprouted from the bottom so it had a good root system when I removed it. Thanks again. VELLETA
As I recall you live in Jamaica? If so there is no need to wait to spring. It will take pressure off the mama. You need Maxi-crop. It is norwegian seaweed juice that is a root stimulant. Truly a game changer that all your orchids would love every 2 week. You will notice a change it the roots right away. All plants like it too.
When you take it cut the spike very low. Use the spike to drive into the potting mix. The spike may need to be cut to be the right size for the pot.
Thanks shavedmonkey,and yes I do live in jamaica. Unfortunetly I can't get Maxi-crop here but I can get superthrive so I suppose I will just have to pray it does the trick. I will remove it on saturday when I get the time hopefully they both will be ok. Thanks again. VELLETA.

looking for more varieties of avocado
I'm cross-posting this from the california gardening sub-forum.
I am looking to diversify my avocado collection via grafting. Ideal time for grafting avos is just after last frost, which is first week in March up here in Sunland/Tujunga, foothills area of Los Angeles. So that's coming up in a couple of weeks.
I currently have 3 avow. I have a big, very productive and healthy haas.
The other one is in it's second year of production on my sister's property. I think it's another Haas, but not certain.
Lastly, I have a little seedling from a Reed pit, that is about 1yr old in a container. I call it a 'Reedling'
I am planning on grafting a bit of the the reedling onto my big haas, to see if I can get it to fruiting quicker that way.
I am also looking to diversify and would love to obtain some buds or wood from established trees of other cultivars.
I'm particularly interested in the following:
Carmen-Haas (sounds wonderful!)
Lamb Haas
Green Gold
But I'm totally open to receiving material from any cultivar other than haas, as long as it's from fruiting wood.
Don't have much to trade as far as avocados go, just the haas and reedling. But I have a bunch of other interesting stuff for trade. Happy to drive to get what I am looking for.
Okay, two places you can check: Epicenter Nursery: http://www.epicenteravocados.com/
and Atkins Nursery: http://www.sub-tropicalfruittrees.com/
They both carry the varieties you're after, with the exception of Green Gold. Atkins does not ship, so this would be a bit of a trek to Fallbrook, but Atkins has expanded their avocado varieties, so it might be worth a little day trip for you. Lastly, you might also try your local California Rare Fruit Growers chapter for any varieties that these two nurseries do not provide. You may be able to procure some budwood. Be sure to start some seedlings from Mexicola seeds if you can (good option for rootstock).
Patty S.
Thanks Patty S.!
I don't have the cash for buying multiple $40 trees right now. But I'm fine with starting seedlings, collecting budwood and grafting to my existing trees for a couple of years.
My adopted father grew up on an avocado ranch in San Diego county. He said the grew mostly haas grafted on fuerte rootstock, and also used fuerte as a cross-pollinator. But that was 50 years ago, we've come a long way.
Hopefully I can get my hands on some mexicola seeds.
I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and join CRFG.
I grew up on my parents Avo ranch in N. San diego C
They grew mostly fuertes, haas and Nabal.
The Nabal is my very favorite. If I had my choice that would be the one I would plant/graft.
If you are trying to keep the cost down, we bought a fuerte @ Wal mart in N. San diego C (under $20.00) and the thing grew like crazy. Produced after only a few years. Some times you just get plain lucky

Contact your legislators this week to keep the early voting bill viable for this session.
(Published Mar 23, 2015)
1. Get Informed
Many Minnesotans consider the current in-person absentee voting system "early voting," but there are significant administrative differences between the two voting systems. After the voter has completed an absentee ballot, it is placed in a sealed envelope to be processed by elections administrators after the voter has left.
Early voting allows the in-person voter the same experience as voting in their polling place on Election Day by inserting the ballot into a ballot tabulator. If necessary, the voter is then able to correct mistakes made by the voter when marking the ballot such as party cross-over voting in a primary election or over-voting. These mistakes can be discovered by the ballot tabulator, the same as on Election Day. Election results are not known until the polls close on Election Day.
Additionally, no-excuse absentee voting has led to a significant increase in in-person absentee balloting. This forces cities that administer in-person absentee balloting to operate city halls as polling places beginning 46 days before Election Day, but the absentee ballots cannot be processed until seven days before Election Day. An early voting system eliminates many of the administrative costs of the current absentee ballot procedures. Many states have implemented actual early voting procedures for in-person voting and found them to be a cost-effective and efficient method to serve the voters.
For early voting to pass this year, it must be heard in the House Government Operations and Elections Policy Committee by March 27. The House bills that would establish early voting include HF 1981 (Rep. Kelly Fenton, R-Woodbury) and HF 2036 (Rep. Connie Bernardy, DFL-Fridley). At least one of these bills need to be heard to be viable and move forward through the process, pursuant to legislative deadlines.
SF 414 (Sen. Katie Sieben, DFL-Newport) was heard in the Senate Subcommittee on Elections on Feb. 19. League staff shared a letter of support during the hearing (see related story). Co-authors of SF 414 include: Sens. Jeff Hayden (DFL-Minneapolis), Kent Eken (DFL-Twin Valley), John Hoffman (DFL-Champlin), and Jim Carlson (DFL-Eagan).
The bill would establish early voting 15 days prior to Election Day through 5 p.m. on the third day before the election. Pending certification of statewide systems and voting equipment to administer early voting by the secretary of state, the law would be effective for elections held on or after Aug. 1, 2015.
Passing early voting this legislative session is necessary to ensure the system is ready for the 2016 general election. Please note: If your city does not currently administer absentee balloting, you will not be required to administer early voting.
The bill was included in the Senate omnibus elections bill, SF 455, which is awaiting action in the Senate Finance Committee, its last committee stop.
The League supports the establishment of a true early voting system (see SD-64 in the 2015 City Policies (pdf)). The League's Board of Director's adopted this issue as one of its 2015 legislative priorities.
2. Take Action
Contact your legislator
City officials and staff are strongly encouraged to contact their legislators this week to ask for their support for early voting. If possible, cities are encouraged to pass resolutions supporting early voting.

I won't lie. I was starting to give up on humanity. I was feeling generally miserable about recent reports of record amounts of melting ice in the Arctic, Mitt Romney's eternally moronic campaign in the US and our current situation of ever rising economic destruction and damning of human rights by the Coalition.
With full tanks, all systems checked and automatic launch sequence ignited, the European Parliament is ready for lift-off. MEPs achieved much in the first part of 2012 that will make a noticeable difference to the everyday life of ordinary citizens, such as lower roaming charges and killing off the controversial anti-counterfeiting agreement. However, there is much to be done in the months to come.
Portugal may well be the country where the eurozone's solidarity is put to the test. Patience with the Greek government's foot-dragging is wearing thin, but Portugal has done all that has been asked of it.
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras won the June general election promising to renegotiate the terms of the Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) that accompany the two EU/IMF bail-out deals (worth a total of €240bn) that Greece has to implement to avoid sovereign default.
There was an arresting BBC documentary recently called 'Wonderland: Young, Bright, and on the Right.' Initially it was quite amusing, depicting, as it did, some late teenage hoorays in the Conservative associations of Oxford and Cambridge wearing jackets and ties, drinking port, and planning their assault on Westminster. Some were appallingly posh.
With the economy persistently weak, there is a growing consensus among economists that premature austerity has done considerable unnecessary damage, and that there is a strong case for slowing fiscal consolidation.
It was great while it lasted. For two weeks the London Olympics provided welcome respite from the economic gloom, political travails and banking scandals that have become a depressingly regular part of the news agenda since the Great Recession of 2008-09.
The Bank of England revised down its growth forecast for 2012 to virtually zero last week, reinforcing the raft of weak economic data released recently. The UK economy has now contracted in 5 out of the last 7 quarters and net growth since the end of the recession in 2009 has been negligible.
Countries which lost competitiveness during the first decade of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) will need to return to sustainable growth through improvements in competitiveness rather than cheap credit. This will take time but will be necessary for the long-term survival of EMU.
In June, a pro-euro Greek government was sworn in, pledging to bring the country's public finances back on track to avoid a 'disorderly' default and eventual Greek euro exit ('Grexit').
The world may be sleepwalking into a third financial crisis and it is not far away. Within the last five years, we have witnessed two global financial crises in banking and in the Eurozone.

Despite the economic downturn in the region, the political consequences and the incidence of social unrest in eastern Europe has been remarkably limited so far.
If the situation in the eurozone deteriorates further as the Italian general election gets nearer, there is a high risk of severe financial market turmoil that could push Italy back to that brink of financial and economic collapse where it found itself last November.
France's new president, François Hollande, has a strong political mandate, but very little room for manoeuvre.
Being part of the EU is central to how we in the UK create jobs, expand trade and protect our interests around the world. It allows us to be in a single market of some 500 million people, with a combined GDP of £11trillion (Euros), in which we can trade, travel and work freely.

"The nature and the views along this walk are amazing, and I love crossing the natural sandstone bridge over Main Creek – it's a highlight!"
The Natural Bridge track is a delightful half day walk linking the eastern and western foreshores of Bantry Bay. Keep an eye on the way for the impressive crossing the track is named for, a natural sandstone bridge formed by erosion over thousands of years.
The walk starts along The Bluff track at the end of Grattan Crescent before joining up with the Natural Bridge track. It's a steep descent but the views down Bantry Bay are great. Then link up with the Currie Road trail, which crosses the Cook Street trail onto the Bates Creek track. The walk then drops steeply into Bates Creek crossing before zigzagging up to a flat section of the track.
At the Tipperary Road turnoff, you'll reach the start of the historic Magazine track. After a short descent that takes you past the Magazine complex, you'll be rewarded with excellent views across Bantry Bay. Further on, there is a crossing of mossy rocks and a pretty waterfall just before you reach Flat Rock Beach, a great spot to have a picnic and take in the views down Middle Harbour.
From there, head up to Flat Rock track and wind along the side of the valley wall; you'll eventually come to a set of steps down into Davidson Park picnic area and boat ramp.

It has been three days since Stephen and his friends, local fishermen from Vizhinjam, left their family and community behind to go fishing in deep sea. But they did not seem happy returning to the shores on Sunday morning.
"Three days of hard work has fetched us only very little fish. I am happy to see my family but they are not going to be happy with the catch," Stephen says as he explains his plight while anchoring the boat Ýesu Matha'.
Local fishermen along the Vizhinjam coast are venturing into the deep seas more often because they say they no longer get a good catch. Store boats, as the locals call it, which are engine-fitted country boats usually used once in every two weeks, is now taken out into the sea twice every week.
"This is one of the worst times for us. There are no fishes along the coasts, so we have to take out the store boats every week to get a good catch. Even then, the quantity we get is very low," says Bensy, a local fisherman at the Harbour.
Not many are happy about the high prices that are being quoted for such small quantity of fish at the auction. The collection, when the last stock from the boat is cleared, remained at Rs.20,000, while normally it exceeds Rs.50,000, the man-in-charge of the auction says.
"We have to buy the fishes and hope that we get a better price with the customers. If we wait for a better deal, we may never get it," adds a fisherwoman from the locality.
Assistant Director of Fisheries, Vizhinjam, S. Sreekandan says the scanty rainfall and climate change has affected the spawning and regeneration of fishes, especially the sardines and shrimp varieties due to which shortage of fishes has been reported this season.
P. James, who has taken over a two-year contract of one of the store boats, says the livelihood of many families depends on the fish stock that comes from these boats.
"We have to spend at least Rs.10, 000 for fuel and maintenance for these boats while some 800 country boats, used for one-day fishing, are not taken out because there is no business," he adds.
Business or no business, Stephen knows he will have to set sail again on Monday for another three days. "I do not know what is out there in the deep waters but I am sure 'mother sea' will not abandon us," says the fisherman.

John Adams
Oct. 30, 1735
Norfolk County
Massachusetts, USA
Jul. 4, 1826
Norfolk County
Massachusetts, USA
2nd United States President, first United States Vice President, Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Massachusetts, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and Revolutionary War Patriot. Born the first of two sons to John and Susanna Boylston Adams, he was born in Braintree, Massachusetts (now part of Quincy, MA), where his father was a Puritan farmer, a lieutenant in the militia, a town selectman (town councilman), and a descendant of the first settlers who had arrived in 1636 to found the town. John attended Harvard College, and after graduating in 1755, taught school in Worcester, Massachusetts for a few years. He decided that he wanted to become a lawyer, and studied law under James Putnam, a prominent lawyer in Worcester. In 1758, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar. A careful student, he would write detailed descriptions of events, court cases, and impressions of men, so that he could later study them and reflect upon them. His 1761 notes of the court argument of attorney James Otis on the legality of the Writs of Assistance has served to be one of the best historical records of that argument, helping historians to understand both that law, the public perceptions of the effects of that law, and the patriotism that existing in James Otis. With the Stamp Act of 1765, Adams rose to prominence as an opponent of the king, in which he argued to the Royal Governor that without representation in Parliament, Massachusetts had not assented to the Stamp Act. In 1770, following the Boston Massacre, the British soldiers involved were charged with murder. When no lawyer in Boston would agree to defend them, Adams argued on their behalf, and got six of them acquitted, with two soldiers who had fired directly into the crowd convicted only of manslaughter with dismissal from the Army. That same month, Adams was elected to the Massachusetts General Legislature, beginning his political career. Adams attended the First and Second Continental Congresses as a representative from Massachusetts. Believing in independence, he nominated George Washington of Virginia for Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. Tired of repeating his arguments for independence, Adams wrote a pamphlet "Thoughts on Government" (1776), which articulated his thoughts on independence and, more influentially, on the thought that monarchs, the aristocracy, and the common people all had to be mixed together and represented, in order to bring their support to the government. This thought was considered very radial at the time. "Thoughts on Government" was extremely influential on political thinkers, and was referenced as an authority in virtually every state when each wrote their state constitution. Adams would help write the Declaration of Independence, and would sign as a Massachusetts delegate. During the Revolution, he served as head of the Board of War and Ordnance, seeing that the Continental Army received the supplies it needed. In 1779, he wrote most of the Massachusetts Constitution, with help from his cousin, Sam Adams, and patriot James Bowdoin. During the Revolutionary War, Adams successfully negotiated treaties of recognition and friendship with France, Holland and Prussia, giving the United States its first foreign recognition as a nation. In 1785, he was appointed as the first Ambassador from the United States to Great Britain since the Revolution. When the Constitution of the United States was adopted, Adams ran for President, coming in second behind General George Washington. In accordance with the US Constitution, that made Washington President and Adams Vice President. As President of the Senate (the only duties that the Constitution gave the Vice President) he cast 29 tie-breaking votes, a record that still stands today. As the first Vice President, he set the standards for the sessions of the Congress, many of which are still enforced even today. In 1796, Adams ran for President on the Federalist Party platform against Governor Thomas Pinckney (Federalist), Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican Party) and Senator Aaron Burr (also Democratic-Republican). In a narrow victory, Adams won the Presidency over the next candidate, Thomas Jefferson, thus, under the rules then in place, Jefferson become Adams' Vice President. In the next four years, President Adams built up the Navy, fought an undeclared war with France, and signed into law the Alien and Sedition Acts as an legal instrument against French actions in America (but was used by some politicians to silence their political opponents) and gave the first ever State of the Union address. In the election of 1800, each candidate ran for the first time with a vice presidential running mate. In this election, Jefferson teamed with Aaron Burr to defeat John Adams and his running mate, Charles Pinckney. Just before leaving the Presidency, Adams became the first US President to occupy the newly constructed White House, the official residence of the President. In his final days as President, Adams appointed his Secretary of State, John Marshall, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; Marshall would go on to establish much of the legal decisions that influence the Supreme Court even today, and he is considered one of the best Chief Justices the US ever had. Following his defeat, Adams retired into private life, returning to his farm in Massachusetts. He and Jefferson were bitter by the infighting of politics and would not speak to each other again until 1812, when Adams finally reconciled with Jefferson. Becoming friends again, the two men corresponded on a number of political and philosophical discussions, giving future historians deep insight into political thought of the times and of the two men. Sixteen months before his death, Adams' son, John Quincy Adams, became the sixth President of the United States, the first son of a President to achieve this office. On July 4, 1826, on the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Adams died at his home in Quincy. His last words were "Jefferson lives," considered a tribute of his deep affection for his friend and former rival. However, Thomas Jefferson had died a few hours earlier than his friend, John Adams, that same day.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Cherry On NBC
by Paul on 06/05/07 at 12:14 AM ET
Comments (0)
A quick review of Don on NBC with Brett Hull and Bill Clement. Don said the the biggest mistake the NHL has made is the instigator penalty. People want to see fights, just ask the fans.
Both Don and Brett can't believe what Alfredsson did at the end of the 2nd, Cherry called him awful dumb if he did it on purpose and Brett said he has lost a lot of respect for him.
Feel free to add your comments if you saw Don on NBC.
If you happened to just land on Kukla's Korner, make sure to check out the blog post Alanah did earlier today on Don Cherry.
added 6:18am on 6/5/07, from the Toronto Star,
"The fans love the fights," he said, repeating his oft-heard claim. "The players love the fights. People go nuts on the fights and I have to laugh and I hate to give NBC heck and everything but I've been told the reason they cut it down they wanted U.S.A. people to watch it.
"Can you believe that? It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. U.S.A., NASCAR where there's crashes, football, kill the quarterback, ultimate fighting.
"Who's kidding who?"

Keep an eye on the NHL Connect Stanley Cup 2007 Headquarters tonight. Evan Grossman just added some video and I will let him describe it…
Here in Canada, one of the money shots to get for the game broadcast is of the players arriving in their street clothes. Here are some shots of the TV cameras recording the entrances of some players like Wade Redden.

NHL Will Address Head Shots
by Paul on 06/04/07 at 08:48 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the AP via Yahoo,
"There's going to be an attempt to draft some type of rule about a hit directly to the head," Ducks GM Brian Burke said. "My prediction is it's going to be hard to draft it, but I think we owe it to our players to try."
Added Sabres GM Darcy Regier: "For me, for our organization, I think it's a step in the right direction."
read on... plus others changes discussed but no resolutions…
added 7:11pm, from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The league will almost certainly introduce a major penalty for interference (currently there is none on the books) to prevent another Tomas Kaberle-Cam Janssen sort of incident and will also ensure that all face-offs will occur at the nearest dot.
And while Nashville Predators' general manager David Poile believes that bigger nets will eventually have to come, there was little support for that change in the here and now, according to the Minnesota Wild's Doug Risebrough.

Bob Murray Withdraws Name For Columbus GM Job

from the Columbus Dispatch,
Bob Murray has withdrawn his name from consideration to become the Blue Jackets general manager, The Dispatch has learned.
Murray, the Anaheim Ducks vice president of hockey operations, interviewed with the Blue Jackets on Friday and notified the team on Sunday that he was no longer interested in the job.
"The Blue Jackets were extremely interested in (Murray)," said an NHL source, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "Bob spent Saturday discussing it with his family, and he's decided he's in a very good spot right now with Anaheim, that he wants to stay put."

Talk Heating Up

from the CP via TSN,
Chris Pronger a backstabber? Corey Perry a headhunter? Chris Neil a villain? Dean McAmmond a faker?
Accusations and insinuations ruled the day Monday following Pronger's one-game suspension for a shot to McAmmond's head in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final.
The most heated talk was from Neil, the feisty Ottawa Senators winger who was accused by Anaheim GM Brian Burke of trying to take Ducks forward Andy McDonald's head off with an elbow. McDonald was not hurt on the play.

Sabres GM & Coach Expected Back - Players Another Story
by Paul on 06/04/07 at 04:55 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the CP via the Globe and Mail,
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier is confident he and coach Lindy Ruff will be back in Buffalo next season. Co-captains Chris Drury's and Daniel Briere's futures with the team are less certain.
"Both of us expect to be back," Regier said Monday, referring to himself and Ruff, whose contracts expired after this season. "There's been work that's been positive and I don't expect any changes going forward. We'll get there at some point."
What's yet to been determined is the Sabres' plans in attempting to re-sign Briere and Drury, both eligible to become unrestricted free agents July 1.

This Could Have Been Avoided
by Paul on 06/04/07 at 04:30 PM ET

from Al Strachan at Fox Sports,
Fans are understandably sick of hearing about financial issues, but a couple of recent revelations bear noting.
One is that it appears that the NHL Players Association will exercise its right to have the salary cap raised to the maximum permissible level. That should push it over $50 million.
Those of you who remember commissioner Gary Bettman's assurance that the salary cap he needed to impose would keep ticket prices down might wonder about this.
Bettman could have prevented the year-long shutdown of the league by accepting a PA proposal that would have set payrolls at approximately $42 million. He refused, saying that such a figure was beyond the reach of owners. Two years later, we're at $50 million.
more on this, plus a few other NHL topics, including the Pronger suspension…

Ducks Deserve More Ink

from LAVoice.org,
I learned something this morning while glancing at page 4 of the LA Times Sports section: not only is hockey still played professionally but the team from Anaheim is actually in the Stanley Cup Finals. Who knew? And the game is on NBC tonight.
I don't know a single guy who plays for the Ducks (apparently they dropped the "Mighty" from their official name) but I'm going to watch. Hopefully a lot of other people will too, because hockey really deserves more respect than it's currently getting….
Why the Times can't give a (sort of) local team that is 2 wins away from the championship better coverage than page 4 is also a mystery (but just one of many mysteries at the Times). [Note: below the fold on page 1 of the sports page thee is a column about a guy named Pronger who plays for the Ducks, but the actual series coverage is buried on Page 4.]

from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
After my rant about getting the runaround from a van driver the other night, it occured to me that I am risking my reputation with the NHL as one of the few rays of sunshine among a sullen media mob that is only too quick to explode into self-righteous anger over such trifles as the chablis not being exactly the right temperature or the wireless Internet connection cutting in and out all night.
So I come here today not to bury anyone but to praise Frank Brown, Gary Meagher, Julie Young, Jamie Horan and the rest of the NHL communications staff. They all did a tremendous job on Sunday, turning what could have been another long, frustrating day for the media into a piece of cake.
Yes, they are doing a great job along with everyone involved with the NHL. I have been able to provide KK readers with numerous updates because of their efforts. It is also a shame some of the MSM is not using the same resources made available, but hey, you do know where to find it if you are reading this!

Reviews For Carolina Boots CA8821
This Product:
Carolina Boots: Men's Waterproof Logger CA8821 EH Work Boots
I wanted a waterproof logger without a steel toe.
These have been terrific so far! They are extremely comfortable for a big heavy boot. The padded footbed is a nice touch. They fit great around the ankle and having the high heel is good for my back.
The leather is tough and waterproof. The construction is high quality. Fits true to size. I usually wear a 10.5 D but bought an 11 EE to have extra room for thicker socks and breathing room. It's working out well so far.
I will be getting another pair in black at some point. Overall I'm very impressed with Carolina Boots!

English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.
But at Hurtfew Abbey in Yorkshire, the rich, reclusive Mr Norrell has assembled a wonderful library of lost and forgotten books from England's magical past and regained some of the powers of England's magicians. He goes to London and raises a beautiful young woman from the dead. Soon he is lending his help to the government in the war against Napoleon Bonaparte, creating ghostly fleets of rain-ships to confuse and alarm the French.
All goes well until a rival magician appears. Jonathan Strange is handsome, charming, and talkative-the very opposite of Mr Norrell. Strange thinks nothing of enduring the rigors of campaigning with Wellington's army and doing magic on battlefields. Astonished to find another practicing magician, Mr Norrell accepts Strange as a pupil. But it soon becomes clear that their ideas of what English magic ought to be are very different. For Mr Norrell, their power is something to be cautiously controlled, while Jonathan Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic. He becomes fascinated by the ancient, shadowy figure of the Raven King, a child taken by fairies who became king of both England and Faerie, and the most legendary magician of all. Eventually Strange's heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens to destroy not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear.
Sophisticated, witty, and ingeniously convincing, Susanna Clarke's magisterial novel weaves magic into a flawlessly detailed vision of historical England. She has created a world so thoroughly enchanting that eight hundred pages leave readers longing for more.
Susanna Clarke lives in Cambridge, England. This is her first book.

Back on GW, looking for past traders
I'm back to doing limited GW trading again, after a tough year in 2005 forced me to stop for awhile.
Personal & family illness, and then Katrina & Rita last summer, all made life (and our work) just a little bit too-interesting. A neighbor's tree falling across our yard & greenhouse during Rita didn't help at all.
I believe that I've taken care of all but two trades from last year, and those are Northeners who are on my list to ship-to when Spring comes around up there.
Anyway, as I corresponded with dozens of people last year, it is possible that someone may have been missed. In the event that there is ANYONE whom I have not contacted, and still owe plants to.. then please send me a private email and I'll be sure to take care of that ASAP.
I ALWAYS make good on my promises, but sometimes "Stuff Happens". It has taken us quite awhile to get back to having any kind of "semi-normal" routine.
One GW lesson that I've learned is to trade slowly, with never more than one or two trades in-progress at a time. Otherwise, it is far too easy to lose track of correspondence, as well as both incoming and outgoing parcels. And when the "sky starts falling", it is difficult to cope with a large number of orders.
There are also at least three trades that I never received, but I certainly understand that others also have "unavoidable circumstances" in their lives. I just hope that those traders are personally healthy & OK. Several million people were forced to temporarily relocate throughout the South last year, and over a million moved permanently. I'm just surpised that there was not a whole lot more disruption of GW trades & correspondence.
Thanks to all, for the trades & many new friends, last Winter & Spring.
Hi Rick,
I did not forget you even though you told me I owed you nothing...YES I DID, you sent me so many shamrocks it was not even funny, I will make sure you & your wife have more of my Daylilies. I am so glad to see you back on what we have left of GW... Talk to you soon.. :)Anita

|Anyone seen Boyds second from last night? A 45 yard looping half volley...bloody Peterborough.
@Whizzo We play Southend on Saturday, so hoping losing to you boys doesn't prompt some sort of reaction from them.
Good win for York yesterday, 6 points in 4 days has sent us up the table. All very tight in League 2.
Peterboough vs Huddersfield was a coupon buster for me last night

I'd just like to add, Brighton were shit on Saturday. Didn't get going till Lualua came on and smith was isoloated.
Team needs more width.
Come and get it cumslingers!
Maybe they should go out and buy a couple of 20m wingers.
Oh... wait...

|I'll bear that in mind from now on...recent form and league position suggested 3 points would be yours. They'd lost all 5 of their previous home games!
|We've managed to stay unbeaten and a point outside automatic, while still playing utter, utter dross at times. Optimism rising, but United have let me down so many times I can't really think this season will be any different!

|Playing shit and still joint top is alright in my book . Best start at home for donkeys years (must be our red top). Strange league though what with Brighton and Blackpool getting good starts and now looking gash.
|Why the fuck would Holloway want to leave Pool for Palace.
|We should be 2 down already.
|Long overdue. When Warnock was brought in to 'add stability and fix up the defence' I'm not sure that the idea was to replace the defence but somehow make it even worse.
|What a load of shit! Brown is a liability! Nobody looking before they pass. Infuriating!
|We could be 7 down now and not have reason to complain. After half a fucking hour.
|Deserved penalty. But Leeds dont deserve to be level here. They have been woeful!
|The fuck? The most utterly needless foul I've ever seen. Such an undeserved equaliser.
|I know its the "in" thing to do to slate Varney but I honestly dont think Leeds would have been worse off this half if they had replaced him with thin fucking air!
|Well we might not have had the penalty otherwise! Realised on about 44 minutes that I'd not seen Michael Tonge on the screen once. I think he forgot to come out of the dressing room and we've been playing with 10 men. Would at least be a sort of explanation.
|Leedslol etc
|Brown really is terrible!
|Oh fuck off brown lol
|Ridiculous game is ridiculous.
|The level of bias from Sky commentary is sickening. The fact that the only studio analyser is an ex Brighton player sums it up. Don Goodman really hates us.
|So very, very undeserved. Will gladly take a point. Abysmal performance throughout. We made Brighton look like Barcelona at times.
|Piss poor!
Squad needs investment. Needs pace and folk that can hold on to the ball.
Sadly I've lost faith in GFHC's mythical takeover and even more mythical pot of gold.
League form needs to be addressed asap!
