The Fellow Behind the Tree
A business-dominated commission may help Texas out of its school funding mess.
Texas lawmakers punted last year on the issue of overhauling the state's school finance system, failing to come anywhere near agreement throughout the regular legislative session and a pair of special sessions on the topic. They'll need to try again this year, with the state Supreme Court having imposed a firm deadline; if legislators don't pass a plan by June 1, schools won't open in the fall. To help them out, Governor Rick Perry has appointed a commission to address the question of how to organize the state tax system to pay for the court's demands.
At first glance, that may sound like a pointless exercise. At least 37 states have launched tax commissions or studies since 2000. Most have been charged by governors with coming up with some broad tax reform plan, but few have succeeded; mostly they come up with measures broad enough to ensure opposition from the most important interests in the state. Recall the late U.S. Senator Russell Long's comment: "Tax reform means 'don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree.'"
Does that mean the whole exercise is pointless? Not necessarily. "Even though they may not come up with any recommendations that will pass," says Robert Ebel, of the Urban Institute, "they help the governors and the legislators rule out some of the really silly stuff, and that's important."
The Texas commission probably won't come up with any school finance scheme that legislators haven't already considered and rejected. But it will provide an organized forum for an important constituency--the state's major corporations--to work toward consensus.
Perry drew some criticism for stacking the commission with campaign donors from the business sector. But that may have been a smart move. The state court is insisting that Texas shift its school funding away from property taxes, and in the end, an increase in business taxes may be the only feasible option. "I think the purpose of the commission is to try to get internal agreement and a stamp of business approval on a proposal," says Scott McCown, of the Center for Public Policy Priorities.
Texas was the only state that actually lowered its school funding levels during the past school year. Even under a revenue-neutral plan- -which is what Perry wants--the "fellow behind the tree" is going to have to pay more. The point of his commission is to give that fellow a vehicle for accepting it.

News in brief: Dell and EMC end partnership, Windows Intune updated
After much speculation, Dell will finally stop selling EMC storage; Microsoft offers partners discounts with new Windows Intune; more news in brief.
After a decade, Dell and EMC part ways
After ten years selling EMC storage, Dell is ending its relationship with EMC Corporation. Despite having two years left in their agreement, the IT powerhouses' decision to part ways has been a matter of "when" not "if."

The divorce makes sense given Dell's EqualLogic and Compellent deals, which bolstered its storage offerings. Because of the success of server virtualization, the need for physical servers has waned in recent years and Dell wants to focus on being a singular source for virtualization storage rather than partnering with EMC.
Microsoft updates Windows Intune
After much anticipation, Microsoft released a Windows Intune update. During their first year of selling the desktop management tool, Microsoft will give partners 12% of Intune fees. The company will also give partners with Windows Client Enterprise Agreements a 50% discount and bonuses for each new customer subscription providers obtain.
The Windows Intune update is now available to customers and those who have Intune beta have until Nov. 17 to upgrade.

Buried deep within a Yahoo! announcement this week that the once mighty search engine turned struggling second-tier media conglomerate has gone "hyper-local" was a very telling sign of how the company plans to make that aim a reality - the Yahoo! Contributor Network (YCN).
Well below the PR speak about scale, rich content and mobile devices, was found the following gem of a sentence that should signal (in no uncertain terms) how you as a Web marketer might be able to influence results at Yahoo! Local:
"By leveraging the power of the Yahoo! Contributor Network, the entire community can participate and publish stories on topics that matter to them. Individuals and organizations can also add events that are relevant to the local community."
I would not have given that section more than a passing glance if it had not been for an upcoming article slated for January distribution from Website Magazine's Senior Editor Mike Phillips, who has been putting YCN through its paces.
During our routine conversations about the status of that article, Phillips revealed to me that YCN's assignment desk offered him an opportunity to write on something with a great deal of importance to those of us in Chicago (you'll find out more when the article is published). If they offered the opportunity to Phillips - who is a great writer and talented journalist, but had only written a couple of articles for YCN - imagine the demand Yahoo! must have for other local content.
The barriers are low right now, Web marketers. If you're still reading this … stop. Go sign up at YCN and start influencing the local results. Yahoo! is even going to pay you to do it.
If you're interested in seeing the results of Mike Phillips' article, make sure you are subscribed to the quarterly edition of Website Magazine (where the article will appear in early January). If you'd like even more insights, request a professional edition of Website Magazine - and remember that we're offering a 25% discount on the regular subscription price until 12-31-2010.

UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Assumes AOL at Neutral on Content and Margin Uncertainties
Goldman Sachs assumed AOL (NYSE: AOL) with a Neutral rating and a $35.00 price target.
Goldman Sachs commented, "While AOL has roughly 22% revenue exposure to ad tech, and arguably one of the more complete stacks (though it trails Google), the uncertainty around its content business and ability for it to drive margin before profits from the access business run out, overshadows growth and share gains in this segment, in our view."
AOL closed at $30.80 on Wednesday.

LONDON/SEOUL (Reuters) - Global banking supervisors agreed on Tuesday to phase in the introduction of a key new global standard on lenders' minimum short-term funding cover, handing further relief to a sector facing a hefty funding gap.
The Basel Committee of banking supervisors and central bankers from 27 countries met on Tuesday in South Korea, which is hosting the Group of 20 leading countries that had called for tougher capital and liquidity requirements in response to the financial crisis.
The committee had already agreed to a soft phase-in for its net stable funding ratio, which covers a bank's longer-term liquidity. That measure will be tested from 2012 and become mandatory in January 2018.
On Tuesday the committee said it would also have a softer phase-in for its liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), which will require a bank to hold enough highly liquid assets, mainly government bonds, to cover 30 days of net cash outflows.
The LCR observation period will start next year but the committee still wants the rule to become a minimum global standard in January 2015.
Introducing an observation period and review clauses gives the committee more leeway to make big changes on the way.
"There are elements of these ratios which we will study during this observation period because these requirements are brand new - that's the reason for this change," the Chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Nout Wellink told a news conference in Seoul.
Limiting potential liquidity problems was a major lesson of the financial crisis, Bundesbank President Axel Weber said.
Legal experts said banks will have to stock up on government bonds, in competition with insurers who face their own tougher requirements in Europe under new Solvency II rules.
"It is essential that assets like highly rated corporate or Pfandbrief covered bonds also be eligible," Weber said.
While a phase-in of the LCR had been expected, bankers welcomed confirmation of the observation periods.
Consultancy PWC said the Basel Committee had made a sensible move as it was difficult to forecast what impact the new liquidity rules will have on bank lending.
The Bundesbank's Weber said the burden of adjustment to the new rules would vary across countries and could affect lending in Germany, but that a broad credit crunch is not expected.
The Basel Committee also said it would finalise by year-end its proposal on the use of contingent capital, also known as CoCos, bail-in bonds and other non-equity loss-absorbent instruments to pad out a bank's capital requirements.
Wellink said the Basel members would then decide how to make these banks better equipped to absorb losses by March 2011 and later draw up specific rules.
"We will then come up with concrete proposals for them by mid next-year," he said.
Many Asian banks have been holding on to excess capital due to the uncertainty over the Basel III norms. But maintaining too much capital is set to dilute return on equity of banks.
"The banks will move quickly to put the capital to work. In some cases you would see the dividend payout ratios going from 30 percent to 40 percent. But majority of Asian banks need capital to support the credit growth," one analyst with a foreign brokerage said.
Britain's Financial Services Authority has already proposed its own set of liquidity rules and will be under pressure not to move ahead of the Basel timetable confirmed on Tuesday.
"I look forward to the FSA aligning its introduction of the UK liquidity requirements to those now confirmed by the Basel Committee," said Simon Hills, a director at the British Bankers' Association.
Industry officials also welcomed the review clause which gives supervisors further wiggle room to delay the new rule if capital raising conditions worsen or other problems emerge.
The liquidity rules are part of a wider Basel III package which G20 leaders are set to endorse in Seoul next month.
The Basel Committee said it will publish a detailed text by year-end setting out all the elements of the new capital and liquidity requirements.
Financial industry experts said this timetable signalled that Basel III was unlikely to undergo further big changes.

What You Can Expect
Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Alhambra is a fascinating place to explore with endless architectural wonders waiting to be found 'round every corner. After skipping the long entrance lines, take a walking tour with your guide, admiring the Moorish architecture of Alcazaba Fortress and the three Nasrid Palaces – Mexuar, Serello and Harem.

Customer Reviews

So amazing. Do this, do this, do this.
December 2014
I recommend doing a guided tour, rather than using the audio guide. It is much better having a guide to tell you about the history of granada and so you can ask questions. I really recommend the tour. Antonio was our tour guide and he was very, very good.
The Hammam baths were beautiful, and very relaxing after all the walking you do around Alhambra! Just sensational.

It estimates that 173,200 children — or 1 in 77 — are in these "kinship care" arrangements, 90 per cent of which are informally agreed between the parents and their wider family.
However, that means that the carers are not entitled to any financial support from social services, with the result that children in kinship care are twice as likely to live in poverty as children living with their parents. One

How to Crack Nuts Without a Nutcracker
Holiday Hack: How to Crack Open Nuts With Your Bare Hands
A bowl of whole shell-on walnuts can be a beautiful part of a holiday spread, but the question arises: how to get at the nutmeats nestled inside? A nutcracker may be the most efficient way to go about this task, but there is another less conventional way to do it without tools, and it's a great party trick to boot.
Place two walnuts in your palm. Find a ridge on one of the nuts, and line it up with an indentation on the other, as if putting together two puzzle pieces (this keeps them locked together). Curl fingertips inward using firm pressure, as if trying to make a fist, until the ridged nut cracks open the other.
Keep reading for a troubleshooting tip.
If you have smaller or not particularly strong hands (like I do), you might find that wrapping an extra hand around the first to add additional pressure helps.
Admittedly, this trick is unlikely to replace a nutcracker if you need to crack open many walnuts at a time, but it works in a pinch and is sure to impress your friends.

I was thinking we should throw a Foci Cruise/Meet and go to a new canyon run area. And after go grab a bite to eat and cruise again after to make it an all day affair. anyone down for that? i know everyone usually goes and meets and a particular location then races through whatever canyon we are at and some people meet up after to grab a bite to eat then leave home. IS ANYONE DOWN TO MEET UP IN SAY IRWINDALE AREA DRIVE DOWN ROUTE 66 AND TAKE ROUTE 66 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SAN BERNARDINO AREA? i know its not a canyon run however i see cruises like this all the time with older model cars and they literally cruise down PCH 1 or across ROUTE 66. if interested put your name down on the list and we will make a date for this.[cheers]

I'm On Current TV's Series About Docs
Tonight at 9, Current TV continues its series 50 Documentaries to See Before You Die, a look at the best documentaries made in the last quarter-century, hosted by filmmaker Morgan Spurlock.
Maybe because I'm in so many docs myself, I was asked to give my opinions in the show about slightly left-of-center classics like Paris Is Burning, the poignant look at the voguing ball scene, which shed a spotlight on flamboyantly oppressed but twirling divas in 1990.
The result, I'm sure, will be a great documentary about great documentaries.
And if you're not sick of me yet ...
... I've also been running on A&E Biography channel, chatting about the illustrious Mayflower Madam and her classy call-girl service on Aftermath, starring William Shatner.
And on TV Guide Network's series about celebrity crimes.
And Biography Channel's shows about hot stars over 40, as well as one dealing with stellar mess-ups.
I just hope one day there will be a documentary, a Biography, or an Aftermath about me.
Or all three! There's certainly enough material.

Lighting and Rendering with mental ray in Maya with Eric Keller shows how to master practical mental ray techniques for rendering models created in Maya. This course walks through the most efficient and innovative mental ray techniques, including direct versus indirect lighting methods, creating different types of shadows, using the new ShadowMap camera, and reusing shadow and final gathering maps. A chapter on optimizing render times and enhancing render quality is also included. Exercise files are included with the course.
When using depth map shadows in rendering with mental ray, you are going to find, fairly quickly, that there is only so far you can get using these controls, in terms of adjusting the quality of the shadow. So, I have the Resolution set to 2048, and I am getting a decent shadow, but I'm not getting a softness. If I want to create a nice, blurry shadow, I am going to start to run into some issues, so this is what I have so far. I am going to store this. Now within the Attribute Editor for the light, you are going to find that there is an additional set of controls that are specific to mental ray.
So these are all the Maya native Depth Map Shadow controls, and they work okay. But you can actually get better results if you scroll down in the Attribute Editor, down to the mental ray section, and this appears below raytrace, so here is mental ray, and I am going to close these and just focus on Shadows. So underneath mental ray we'll find Shadows. There is a setting here called Use mental ray shadow map overrides. When I turn this on, I get to use this specific mental ray controls, which I actually find much easier than working with the Maya controls.
The first thing I have here is a button that says Take Settings from Maya. What this button will do is it'll copy the settings that I have already established up here in the Depth Map Shadow Attributes down to the mental ray-specific controls. So, if I click on this, you'll see Resolution immediately bump up to 2048, and I also get Samples set to 0. If I create a Rendering with Samples set to 0, it's still going to look pretty horrible. So let's pump this up to just 1 and see how that looks.
For the most part, it looks the same, but now I want to start to add some softness to the shadow, and I can do this with the Softness setting. These settings don't need to be very high. If I start with the setting of .01 - and I am going to open up the Render view here, and now I am just going to save a little time by just rendering a region here, and that will make it easy to compare shadows. So, I am just going to click on Render Region here. We can start to see that we are getting some softness in here, but the graininess is back. So how can we fix that graininess? Simply start increasing the samples.
I am actually going to jump all the way up to 64 and see how that looks. We'll store this and render the region again. Now, we are starting to get a nice, soft shadow, and this is the kind of thing that I'm actually looking for in my mental ray depth map shadows. So let's store that. I can increase the Softness just by moving this up just a little bit, and render the region again.
Each time I increase that just by a little bit, it's going to increase the Softness a lot. This actually starts to look pretty good. There is also a setting here that can switch from Regular Shadow Maps to Detail Shadow Maps. Detail shadow maps can help you eliminate some artifacts, especially on very curved surfaces, but they also have another advantage. Let me demonstrate that. I'm switching back to Regular Shadow Map, and I'm going to create a transparent surface.
So, I am just going to create, let's say a nice NURBS sphere, and pull it up here, maybe scale that down, it doesn't need to be quite that large; something like that is fine. I am going to apply a Blinn shader to it, and I'm going to make that somewhat transparent, with maybe like a reddish transparent color, bring this color down, and zoom in.
Select this spotLight and open the Attribute Editor again. So, if I create a render right now with this NURBS sphere in here, using depth map shadows, it should look pretty good, but the problem is that the shadow of the sphere itself is not going to be transparent like you would expect in the real world. So we can see we have a transparent sphere, but the shadow itself is opaque. So this is an advantage of using Detail Shadow Maps. If I switch this to Detail Shadow Maps and I am going to just render a region here, you'll see now I should get a nice, transparent shadow.
This is basically what I'm looking for: a nice, red, transparent shadow. There are additional settings down here: Samples and Accuracy for Detail Shadow Maps. You can increase these very, very small amounts if you're finding artifacts within your shadow. But don't go too crazy pumping this up too much because it's going to add a lot to your render time. The other thing I can do, of course, is now that I have a blurry shadow, I can start to decrease this value because I'm adding resolution where I don't need it.
Now that the shadow is blurry, I can reduce that, and that will save a little bit of render time. I've decreased the resolution of the shadow map without losing too much in quality because the shadow itself is going to be fairly blurry. In fact, if I compare the two renders I see almost no difference at all.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee is facing one of the toughest challenges of his long and distinguished career as the man at the helm of financial planning for the nation.
This year's Union Budget comes a time when the ruling coalition faces multiple challenges from almost every quarter and the frustration of the masses is at its peak.
There are a multitude of demands and expectations from the FM this year which will certainly be a tough task to tackle. Announcing the new tax slabs that will be applicable for the financial year 2012-13, Mr. Mukherjee has tried to juggle between populist aspirations and practical manoeuvrings.
While the promised DTC could not be fully implemented in the current fiscal, there is certainly a move towards its spirit in the new scheme of taxation.
(For more stories, you can also visit www.bankbazaar.com)
The new tax slabs for salaried and employed classes have been raised by a marginal amount. There will no tax for income up to Rs. 2 lakhs as against the previous figure of Rs. 1.8 lakhs. This hike in the minimum income limit for exemption is far short of the expectation that the middle class had from this year's budget.
It is an established fact that the majority of lower middle class gets affected by the initial tax exemption limit. The figure of Rs. 2 lakhs is unlikely to go down well with the masses. The tax rates for income between Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs is stipulated at 10 % this year and the income between Rs 5 lakhs to Rs. 10 lakhs is 20 % and the tax for income above Rs 10 lakhs is 30%.
Given the fact that there has been a steady rise in the incomes as well as cost of living in the nation, a large number of people have now come into higher income brackets and are likely to be adversely affected by this scheme of taxation.
Given the continued inflation there is very little real relief for the common man in this tax scheme. The expectations of a much higher level of tax relief have been shattered and this will directly impact the lifestyles and consumption patterns of the middle class.
There have been no changes in the rates of corporate taxes which will further add to the discontentment among the salaried class. Given the fact that the standing committee of parliament had recommended the initial exemption limit ot be raised to Rs. 3 lakhs and a further exemption on eligible investments of up to Rs. 3.2 lakhs, there is likely to political uproar against this proposal.
However the only saving grace is that the finance expert of the principal opposition BJP, Mr Yashwant Sinha who heads the Direct Tax Code panel, had agreed retaining the slabs as 10 %, 20 % and 30 % respectively for the income brackets. However Mr. Sinha had several times stated in public his demand for raising the initial exemption limit.
(For Budget highlights, click here)
The initial reaction towards this scheme has been dismal as most tax payers were quite confident of a substantial hike in exemptions.
In fact most of the pre-budget surveys indicate that the man on the streets was confident of getting a relief of up to Rs. 3 lakhs on personal income that would permit him to have better savings and a decent living for his family.
House panel recommendations having been summarily rejected by the FM. He must have some very convincing concerns, which will be disclosed to the parliament during the budget discussion.
However, as for now the majority of the salaried middle class who pay a significant portion of their hard earned money as taxes have been left high and dry.

Got back up to my old alma mater to see my nephew Tom graduate. Nice to be back at Welseyan and shoot some gigapans. Most of these were shot by hand other than the large ne of the main ceremony.

Follow closely the current explosive debate on education.
Suddenly the wider political situation starts to make sense, showing why Gordon Brown is in deep trouble, but also why his political opponents from within his party and outside have many questions to answer as they project their vague plans for schools with an unjustified self-confidence.
The big political picture was framed more than two years ago when David Cameron supported Tony Blair's confused proposals for secondary schools. The policies were aimed at giving parents more choice but, prior to changes reluctantly accepted by Mr Blair, would have allowed schools more freedom to select pupils.
Whatever the flaws of Mr Blair's proposals, Mr Cameron's offer of support was an astute and hugely significant move. Instead of striding further to the right of Mr Blair, as previous Tory leaders had done, Mr Cameron and his entourage recognised that on the whole Mr Blair was acting in the same way as they would like to do. Why not back him?
Ever since they have been the heirs to Blair in public service reform, pointing out mischievously that they would do what he would have liked to have done. In doing so, they have forged an informal alliance with the extreme Blairites, some leading Liberal Democrats and much of the right-wing media.
As some senior Brownites privately acknowledge, the strategic positioning of the Conservatives over issues such as education present them with a broader dilemma. They cannot disown their previous leader even if the Tories in effect claim him as one of theirs. Apart from anything else, an overt move away from Mr Blair's attachment to a free-for-all in schools would split the top of the party, where quite a few Blairites still cling to populist and simplistic phrases about "choice" and "power to the people".
So Mr Brown juggles, Harold Wilson-like, in an attempt to keep his broad church together, promoting Blairites, preaching the mantra of "reform" (a conveniently vague mantra), while still seeking to signal a few changes (very few) from the Blair era. Like Harold Wilson, he achieves a sort of superficial unity but without much sense of direction and purpose.
Mr Blair's more ardent followers argue that the Tories' support for their hero's education reforms shows that he shifted the debate leftwards. This is a fantasy. The Conservative leadership recognised Mr Blair was on its terrain and wisely supported him. It was not the other way around.
Look at the row that has erupted over the attempts by the Schools Secretary, Ed Balls, to enforce the admissions code, the single attempt to ensure fairness in the wild jungle that passes for education policy. Last week Mr Balls dared to point out that some schools are trying to get around the code by seeking payments from prospective parents and by using other devious means to deter the less privileged from applying.
In theory, he should be cheered from across the political spectrum for seeking to ensure that all parents have a chance of choosing a school, rather than allowing schools to select the parents. Instead, the Conservatives are up in arms, in alliance once more with the extreme Blairites and some of the more distinguished Conservative supporting columnists. Mr Balls is accused of being a Stalinist for enforcing a law that in theory is supported by the Conservatives who claim to be against selection. The wider education debate is similarly contorted. For example, the controversies over city academies are often conflated with the debate about "choice". They are entirely separate. Academies have worked reasonably well. It should be no surprise that they have done so. They have had the assiduous attention of the crusading schools minister, Lord Adonis, and some generous funding.
It is a myth that they float entirely free. The introduction of academies marks a shift away from local authorities to the centre. The Conservatives support academies and want to see a lot more of them. Do they become Stalinist as a result? For sure they would have to appoint the equivalent of many Lord Adonises, based in Whitehall, to preside over a big expansion. Already Lord Adonis rarely sleeps and there are only 80 or so academies. In the meantime, Mr Balls encourages the academies to become more involved in local communities and yet he is the one accused of being Stalin.
The debate about choice in secondary schools is even more topsy-turvy. In theory, who could be against choice? What bliss it would be as a parent to decide whether to choose one good school or another equally thriving institution.
But for all parents to be in such a position very quickly would cost a fortune. Here is the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, in a speech delivered at the end of last month:
"We will change the law so that all sorts of organisations ... charities, cooperatives and new education providers can set up new state academies, independent of political control.
"These schools will receive the same government funding as other schools in their community for every pupil they teach. All academies will be free and non-selective."
Who will pay for this paradise of free, non-selective choice? It seems that if parents are dissatisfied with a school they could set up a new one. Presumably the old school would not close as some of the teachers and pupils would still be there.
If they all moved to the new one, it would be the same as the old school, which would be a little on the silly side. The old school would cost a substantial sum to run. Setting up the new one would not be cheap. So for a time, at least, genuine choice would mean a surplus of schools, good teachers and places. This would be in Britain, a country conditioned to assume that public spending is a sin.
Separately, Alan Milburn has argued that a good school should have the flexibility to take more pupils from the bad schools. This sounds great, but where are the additional buildings going to come from to create the bigger good school? And will a good school remain so attractive when it becomes much bigger?
And if these schools are "independent" of political control, as Mr Gove envisages, to whom will they be accountable?
Will there be no national standards and are those standards not the legitimate topic for political debate? Presumably, central government would keep some sort of eye on these schools. If that happens is Mr Gove playing Stalin under the guise of letting people free, or will there be no national standards? As far as education is concerned, those gathered around the Blairite agenda have all the populist phrases and none of the detailed policy answers. But because the agenda is still fashionable, Mr Brown lacks the confidence to expose its shallowness. Education is a blurred muddle and so is British politics. Keep watching this debate.

Loved it. Played it for a year, right after TF2.
I got into a good group of Steam friends, talented players, and we did a lot of pubbie stomping. I also played pubbie when I couldn't get a group together.I can understand how being on THAT end of the game can be not so fun.
Versus ruled, though, it was the best way to play it.
As for Left4Dead2, yeah, I'll be buying it.

My problem is I was just comming off of an enjoyable experience playing bioshock and was looking for a satisfying single player experience and the single player is basically just practice for multiplayer so thats what sorely disapointed me. For hardcore multiplayer junkies I'm sure it's great though.

ah, well, L4D's strength is in the multiplayer. Believe me, multiplayer Versus (where one team plays the Survivors, one team plays the Infected) is insanely fun. The single player game is just okay, good practice for MP, but not anywhere close to being as good as Bioshock (one of my favorites, too).
It's hard to recommend another game after Bioshock, almost anything is going to be a letdown . . .

I have been playing the Left 4 Dead 2 demo for a few days now. Single player blows, but get online and the multiplayer is great fun. I don't know if I will buy it cause I have an insane amount of games that I am half way through... lol.
Have you played Fallout 3? OMG.... That is a game that was amazing. It is one of the few games I have every played where I just could not stop playing it until I finished it.

Yeah, I started it on my old rig, all the settings for graphics were on low, then a week later my DS rig arrived, everything is incredibly high def now! Then I found out there are 2 expansion packs that I don't have so they're now on order and I'll wait for them so I can play the GOTY pack without paying for the base game again. I got The Pitt pack for $9- and the other for $12-, free shipping. Meanwhile I'm keeping busy with Dragon Age, lots and lots of movies and multiple choice question & answers. It reminds me of Oblivion but with dialogue and back story on steroids.
