LEGO The Lord of the Rings
Question from cmacfarland
Ent Draught glitch?
I picked up the Ent Draught in the Track the Hobbits level from the plant that grows. When i picked it up, it said that it was item 4 out of 3 for the level. Then when I was done beating the level, i didn't have it in my inventory. Can anyone help?

Have you replayed the level to see if you can get it the second time? Replaying may not help.
I actually have a similar problem: on Taming Gollum I collected all the items, but somehow the count jumped to 4/3, and when the level finished I had all the items, but the item count for that level rolled over to 0/3, so I got no Mithril block.
Replaying the level did not fix this glitch. I could find the items, but it did not count them.

I (and many others, it seems) also have this issue.
Did you save the level and return to it later? It'd be good to know how to avoid it for new players.

I didnt get credit either.IM so mad about it too.im at 99.6% completion and am being blocked now.i did play back through and it didnt help.i did get the items .i just havent gotten the credit.i tried replaying it on story mode too.it didnt help.i tried to put all of the treasures on and beat it that way but no good.

OK,I went all the way back through and got 100%.on the part where i had to go through that vel.istory moded it once and didnt go after the items.then i free played going after only te 3 treasures.i sat right next o my 360 unless i had to hit the power button which i didnt

I saw someone say in the message boards that supposedly they released a patch that fixed this issue. Since this question is 2 years old I'm guessing you've received the patch by now. If you aren't connected to the internet then make sure you find a way to connect so you can receive the patch.

Kids aren't going to want to rescue the bad guys of the movie, kids want to explore the factory, swim in the chocolate lakes and hijack cars.
The controls are awful, the camera is beyond appalling, the graphics are hideous, the environments are bare, the gameplay is unbearably repetitive and the whole thing is an utter chore to play.
When a game is as derivative and uninspired as this one, a rotten camera is just another nail in its coffin. Unfortunately, the film franchise graveyard won't let these monsters die.

"The Chinese authorities would keep making Google make compromises until it became a tool for their own propaganda, because the Chinese Communist regime would not allow the real, true, free information flow and that's why Google will not be able to survive in China if they want to maintain a true free information source for the Chinese people," exiled Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng said. "So you can imagine if Google stays in China, then this fight will be long-term."
Even executives at Google, once so optimistic about their venture in China, now sound disillusioned.

Roasted vegetables on toast
Spanish cuisine is really very simple, says chef Victor Burgos, who's in town to preside over Gastronomia de España, a Spanish food fest at Marriott Hotel Manila.
But precisely because of its simplicity, it's important to use good-quality ingredients when preparing Spanish dishes, whether it's for a main dish like paella, a soup like gazpacho, or for one of the tapas that Spain is famous for.
Which is why for the dinner buffet at Marriott Café, the hotel has brought in special ingredients from Spain. For cooking the paella, for instance, only "bomba" rice is used. Considered the best rice for paella, bomba has fat, stubby grains that absorb more of the cooking liquid, thus imbuing the paella with a richer flavor.
Likewise, Burgos says he uses only extra-virgin Spanish olive oil for cooking the champiñones al ajillo (mushrooms sautéed with garlic, white wine and parsley), gambas and other traditional dishes.
For the escalivada, only jerez de vinaigre, or sherry vinegar, will do, he says, sherry being originally made in the town of Jerez, in Spain's Andalusia region.
Adding authenticity to Marriott's Spanish food fest are the cheeses, hams and sausages, such as Manchego cheese, chorizo and jamon Serrano, ham that's dry-cured and air-dried (traditionally in the Spanish mountains but now also in climate-controlled sheds).
A native of Valladolid, Burgos is also doing on-the-spot cooking of churros during the dinner buffet. Though it's served as a dessert at Marriott Café, in Spain, these crispy fritters are more of a breakfast dish, he says.
Here's a recipe for one of the delightful tapas being served during the Gastronomia de España: coca con escalivada (roasted vegetables on toast).
Even those not overly fond of vegetables will find this tapa appealing—roasting caramelizes the onions, eggplants and bell peppers, leaving them with a sweet and mellow flavor. This tapa is great served with sangria and Spanish wines such as Rioja and Cava.
Gastronomia de España is part of the dinner buffet of Café Marriott until June 30. Buffet price is P1,950 per person from Sunday to Thursday and P2,300 on Friday and Saturday.
Call 9889999 for reservations.
Coca con Escalivada
3 onions
3 eggplants
5 red bell peppers
1/3 c extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
Salt and pepper
1-2 loaves baguette or any desired bread loaf, sliced into serving pieces
1-2 cans fillet of anchovies, drained
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°-180°C). Cut the onions in halves but leave the skin on. Slice the eggplants in halves. Arrange the onions, eggplants and bell peppers in an oven-proof tray lined with baking paper or aluminum foil. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for around 45 minutes or until tender.
Note: While vegetables are roasting, turn the bell peppers occasionally so that they roast evenly.
Once the vegetables are tender, remove them from the oven. Immediately put the bell peppers in a large bowl and cover the bowl with cling wrap. Keep covered for around five minutes then peel off the skin from the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Slice the peppers into strips.
Peel off the skin from the onions and the eggplants. Dice the onions and slice the eggplants into bite-size pieces. Mix the onions, eggplants and bell pepper strips in a bowl. Combine olive oil and sherry vinegar in a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper. Brush the vegetables with this mixture.
Toast the bread slices until crisp. Slice the anchovies into bite-size pieces. Top the bread slices with the roasted vegetables and anchovies. Serve immediately.

Cook's tips
Keeping the roasted peppers in a covered bowl for a few minutes makes it easier to peel off the skin.
Since the anchovies are salty, season the vegetables with salt only lightly.
If desired you can keep the anchovies whole, or mash them before putting them on the bread.
Other types of bread you may use: ciabatta, sandwich bread (trim off the crusts) and melba toast.
Chef Victor Burgos says it's important to use sherry vinegar for the dressing to keep the taste authentically Spanish. Likewise Spanish extra-virgin olive oil is a must.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The clouds that were on the horizon in 2013 look like they're almost upon us now, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Thursday. Ignoring the weather is always a foolish thing to do.
Cramer said he's often asked what keeps him up at night. Currently, that list includes:
1. Washington. Things may be quiet in Washington at the moment, but with more budget wrangling and elections not far off this calm won't last for long.2. China. We haven't seen any positive numbers coming out of China and the global economy can't afford another Chinese slowdown. 3. Oil Prices. Lower oil prices are great for consumers and the economy in the long term, but for right now they're sending all of the oil stocks sharply lower. 4. Retail. Disappointing news from Family Dollar (FDO), Limited Brands (LB) and Five Below (FIVE) are very troubling, said Cramer. 5. Real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships. These stocks are still overreacting to the downside as interest rates creep higher. Cramer said all of these items are on his radar and will eventually play a bigger part in which direction the markets are heading.

Sherpas Walk Out From Everest Base Camp
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
On Mount Everest today, dozens of Sherpas packed up their gear and left base camp, angry over the deaths of at least 13 colleagues in an avalanche last week and the lack of response to their demands going forward.
The Nepalese government is rushing top tourism officials to the mountain to meet with Sherpas tomorrow.
There's big money involved in Everest climbing. The government takes in millions in royalties and mountaineering companies charge people up to $75,000 to go there. The Sherpas make more than the average Nepalese, but only some $3,000 to $5,000 a climbing season.
Adrian Ballinger, founder and lead climber for Alpenglow Expeditions based in Lake Tahoe, is at the Everest base camp, where he says the atmosphere is "tense and really emotional."
Ballinger tells Here & Now's Robin Young that many Sherpas feel the mountain, which is sacred to them, is telling them it should not be climbed this year. He says other Sherpas are using the avalanche tragedy to leverage better wages and conditions.

- Predation on meadowbirds in The Netherlands : results of a four-year study (2006)
- Meadowbird populations in The Netherlands are under great pressure. Recently, predation is named increasingly often as one of the key factors in contributing to the declines. A four-year research project (2001-2005) aimed to collect (as yet mostly nonexisting) data to provide a factual basis for this discussion. A country-wide inventory based on data for wader nests found by volunteers who mark nests for their protection from grazing/mowing indicated that above-average predation losses are found predominantly in the half-open landscapes of northern and eastern Netherlands, but also locally in the low-lying open grasslands which are the key areas for meadowbirds. Nest predation has increased in recent years, but the same is true for agricultural losses, at least in areas where no nest-protection takes place. At a local scale, predation losses vary greatly from area to area and from year to year. Temperature loggers in nest showed that diurnal and nocturnal predators contribute equally in total predation losses up to 50%, but higher predation losses are mainly caused by nocturnal predators. As many as 10 animal species were identified as nest predators on nests under surveillance with video cameras. Chick survival, investigated using radiotelemetry, was very low. About 60-80% were lost by predation, 5-15% by agricultural activities and 10-15% to all kind of other losses. At least 15 predator species were implied, with an apparently larger share taken by birds (notably Buzzard (16%) and Grey Heron (7-18%)) than mammals, with one exception: stoat (16%). Of the most-discussed predator species, Carrion Crows were W. Teunissen et al. Osnabrücker Naturwiss. Mitt. 32 2006 138 remarkably rarely involved in both nest and chick predation, while Red Foxes take a large toll of clutches in some areas, but not in others. Of all losses during the reproductive cycle about 75% and 60% was due to predation in Lapwing and Black-tailed Godwit respectively. Predation on chicks by birds had the largest effect on total breeding success, but at the same time elimination of this loss factor (if at all possible) alone would not be sufficient to establish a self-sustaining population. Predation seems to have become a factor of importance in some areas, in combination with already existing other losses. Our findings suggest that solutions to predation problems probably have to be found in locally/regionally targeted, specific action on multiple fronts rather than countrywide measures.

James May
James on the Porsche 911
For the first time in my life as a motoring journalist, I'd like to dispense some genuine and heartfelt consumer advice. Here it comes: buy yourself an old 911.
Regular readers will know that I've spent much of the last year driving a selection of supercars. I'm now ready to record my conclusion to the exercise, and it's this. They're all a bit of a waste of money, really. Buy an old 911 instead.
In all honesty, I'd rather have the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, which I thought was one of the finest cars I'd ever driven. But it costs £213,000, and you could save two hundred of them by buying an old 911. Even a new 911 Carrera 2S will set you back about £75k once you've paid for all the bits that should have come with the car in the first place, so, rather than doing without the options, why not do without the car and spend the saving on an old one instead?
This is in no way a preamble to some tiresome rant about how cars were better in the olden days. All old cars are terrible, which is why they're not made any more, but the exception is the 911. The basic premise of the 911 is an idea that goes back to before the war anyway, so in that sense they're all old.
I'm on my second old 911, both of them 3.2 Carrera coupes from the Eighties. This is the one I'd go for, because it's the one I've got and I know what I'm talking about. It's also one of the cheaper and most plentiful versions out there, thanks to the explosion of 911 enthusiasm during the yuppie era, so there are loads around. Mine cost £15,300 with 48,000 miles on the clock, a complete service history, and in perfect condition save for a stone chip in the bonnet. It's the best thing I've ever bought.
"I'm on my second old 911 – a 3.2 Carrera coupe from the Eighties. It cost £15,300 with 48,000 miles on the clock and in perfect condition. It's the best thing I've bought"
The first thing to check when considering a 3.2 911 is: does the roof come off? If it does, it's one of the cabrio versions, and they're for pussies. Having satisfied yourself that the roof is made of proper metal, make all the checks you would on any car - does it actually belong to the bloke selling it? Do the documents exist and match up? Is it in fact just a Beetle with a Porsche badge stuck on? Actually, it is, but you know what I mean.
Now the bodywork. All post-'75 cars were galvanised, but that's no guarantee against rot. Weak areas are around the headlights, the trailing edges of the front wings, inside the door pillars and around the rear windows. Underneath, the 'kidney bowl' around the rear wheel arches gets a bit of a beating, and replacing it is a sort of rib-expander surgery job, and expensive.
While you're poking around, check for crash damage, since 911s have always been easy to crash and have often been owned by people who were likely to. Look for uneven welding - the original stuff is always excellent, because it was done by Germans - and signs of replacement panels or indeed of another 911 of different provenance lurking within the one you think you're buying. Body repairs on 911s can be pretty expensive, largely because the panels are pricey.
The engine, on the other hand, is easy to maintain and very robust. I have met owners who have covered a quarter of a million miles without a rebuild, so don't be put off by 100,000+ on the clock. Providing the oil has been changed regularly, it will be fine. Even a little smoking is not too much to worry about. Air-cooled 911 engines make some terrifying gurgling and chuffing noises, but this is normal. Clatters, on the other hand, spell trouble.
Any pre-'95 car will be fitted with the ancient and notoriously cussed 915 gearbox. Changing down into first will normally need some extra clutchwork and, when cold, second might not seem to be there at all. This is as it should be, but any kerrang noises during fast shifts are bad news. Richard Hammond's 'favourite gearchange' is fourth to fifth in a 915 box.
The interior will probably be pretty good, whereas that of a contemporary Ferrari will probably be in the footwell by now. Things like the door bins can become a bit warped and saggy, but all these bits are available for a reasonable price and it all screws together with the toolkit you got for £4.99 with 20 litres of diesel. Make sure everything works. It usually does.
I don't believe you need to spend more than £15,000 on a very good 2.3-litre 911. It is the most characterful and engaging car for the cash and probably for twice as much.
This is the only bit of car buying advice I will ever dispense. I'm usually hopeless at it. But this is so easy, even I got it right.

As of Tuesday, August 23, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
A public hearing that was scheduled to take place this week, on the City of Jonesboro's proposed millage rate of 2.5 mills, has been pushed back by a week-and-a-half, city officials announced on Monday.
The town's leaders issued a public notice, announcing Sept. 6, at 2 p.m., as the new date and time for the public hearing that was originally scheduled to be held this Thursday.
Jonesboro Mayor Luther Maddox could not be reached Monday for an explanation of why the hearing date was changed. Another public hearing already scheduled for Sept. 6, at 6 p.m., will still take place at that time, according to the city's public notice.
Both public hearings are scheduled to take place in the city council chambers, at the Jonesboro Police Department, at 170 South Main Street, in Jonesboro.

Hummmm this wouldn't be because it's a holiday weekend and at 2pm on Monday the residents of Jonesboro may still be on their long weekend vacations. Mayor Maddox you sly dog you!!!

GSW: Dragons advance to finals
February 7, 2014By Andrew Smith of New Palestine High School

Blending Cypress Hill's weed philosophy with a self-styled hopalong hip-hop sound based on the Old West, Chicago's Crucial Conflict hit the airwaves in 1996 with the marijuana ode "Hay." Members Wildstyle, Kilo, Coldhard, and Never grew up on Chicago's West Side and began rapping as a way to pass time on the mean streets. Signed to the UNIV label in 1996, the foursome hit the R&B Top Five with the June release of The Final Tic, which went gold later that year. Good Side, Bad Side followed in 1998. After ten years of label conflicts and time spent collaborating on local projects, Crucial Conflict returned with Planet Crucon in 2008.
Crucial Conflict is a Chicago hip hop group best known for its 1996 single "Hay" (from the album The Final Tic) and "Scummy" (from the album Good Side, Bad Side). When the hit "Hay" was released, it dramatically improved the sales of the group's album The Final Tic".

3 killed as robbers strike in Manila, Quezon City
More News from Maricar Brizuela
A businessman and his daughter were killed by armed robbers who barged into their store in Manila while a Chinese woman trader lost around P1 million in cash to four men who broke into her house in Quezon City.
Both robberies took place on Saturday, based on reports submitted by Manila Police District (MPD) homicide investigators and the Quezon City Police District's Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU).
The MPD report identified the trader as Onofre Cruz, 53 and his daughter Sierra, 28, residents of Felix Huertas Street in Sta. Cruz, Manila who ran a wholesale and retail diaper business. Both died at Metropolitan Medical Center in Tondo due to multiple gunshot wounds.
According to MPD investigators, at 3:30 p.m. the other day, two armed men entered the victims' house and declared a robbery as three of their cohorts remained outside, one serving as a lookout and the others as drivers of the getaway motorcycles.
One of the robbers went to the counter where Cruz was stationed and seized the store's earnings estimated at around P200,000.
Based on the statements of other store workers, the two men were not content with their loot and kept on looking for other valuables. One of the robbers, they added, went up to the second floor of the victims' house where Sierra was resting.
Her father, however, followed the robber who pointed a gun at Sierra. At this point, Cruz also took out a gun he was hiding and shot the robber.
Unfortunately for Cruz, he was shot by the second robber who came to his cohort's aid. Witnesses said they heard successive gunshots being fired after which one of the robbers was seen running down the stairs carrying a bag which contained more cash. The robber then fled with his three other cohorts on motorcycles.
Responding police investigators found the Cruzes who were both wounded on the second floor. The two were immediately brought to a nearby hospital where they died after a few hours.
Also found on the second floor was the body of one of the
robbers who was identified as Arnold Lipon, 34, a resident of Cainta, Rizal.
Probers, meanwhile, said that a closed circuit television camera installed in the victims' house was able to record the incident. The police said they would examine the footage to help them identify and track down the robbers.
In Quezon City, four armed men robbed a Chinese business woman of around P1 million in cash at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Ku Wai Qing, 61, owner of the sugar manufacturing company
Silver Star Trading, was with five house helpers at her house in Zabarte Extension, Novaliches, Quezon City, when the robbers barged inside and dragged her to her bedroom.
Qing asked them not to harm her as she gave them the money she had inside the house, said PO2 Julius Cesar Balbuena of the QCPD-CIDU. With a report from Rima Granali

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Julie Bowen: Modern Mother, Modern Family
Julie Bowen: The Perfect Mother? continued...
Swamped is right. In the world of network TV, actors often log brutal hours. While Bowen is luckier than most, her schedule can be erratic.
"The model for Modern Family is to do it quickly and inexpensively," she explains. "We try to shoot 10-hour days where most shows shoot 12 or 14, so that happens to dovetail nicely if you have a family ... [but] there are weeks when it's in balance, and there are weeks when it isn't. Put it this way: There's a lot of kid time, and there's a lot of work time. It works."
"It works" means fewer Mommy & Me classes these days and an ability to stop sweating the minutiae of her children's lives -- a healthy relaxation, according to Rosenberg.
"With her first child," the therapist explains, "a mother is often vigilant about every detail: counting every step on the stairs, pointing out every flower. By the time her third one arrives, it's ''Hurry up!' Believe it or not, the latter may actually be better for children. Then they don't feel like the world revolves around them -- and that's a good thing."
Julie Bowen: Flu Shot Spokeswoman
One subject Bowen does sweat is the ongoing debate over vaccinations. Like many other mothers of young children, she felt daunted by anxiety-inducing mixed messages delivered by the media and traded among moms about the risks of annual and seasonal vaccine shots. In the end, she consulted her favorite doctor for advice.
"I cried making the decision, I'm not gonna lie," she says. "But I spoke with my sister, who is an infectious disease doctor -- and then also with my own doctor and my pediatrician, who said to me: "'By not vaccinating your children, you're putting them at serious risk.' That was it for me. Once I made that decision, there were a few tears -- mostly mine -- but now all three boys are on regular vaccination schedules."
While there are no guarantees in this preventive approach, accepting it led Bowen to join the American Lung Association (ALA) as the national spokesperson in its ongoing public awareness campaign, "Faces of Influenza," about the importance of getting an annual flu shot.
"The flu is a significant disease," says Norman H. Edelman, MD, chief medical officer of the ALA. "Each year between 10% and 15% of all Americans get it. An estimated 15,000 to 40,000 die from complications."
"It's a privilege to get to educate people," Bowen adds. "Everybody should make the choice that's right for them. But, please," she adds, "make an educated choice."

BOISE -- Preservation Idaho wants to save two historic homes scheduled for auction in Boise's downtown Central Addition.
The non-profit group hopes to raise nearly $500,000 and purchase both the George Stewart House and Mary Wood House.
Both homes were built on South 5th Street in the 1890s. The homes have a rich history and feature architectural elements not commonly seen in Boise.
Dan Everhart is a Preservation Idaho volunteer who's worked with the group for a decade.
Everhart says the George Stewart house was completed in 1893 for an Idaho Supreme Court Justice by the same name.
It has all the details you'd expect a Queen Anne House to have, said Everhart, describing the building's architectural style.
Everhart says the nearby Mary Wood house was also completed in the 1890s, when this neighborhood -- once surrounded by orchards -- was thriving.
It has an interesting mix of architecture and history, said Everhart.
Both homes have aged over time, and the surrounding city has changed, too.
Now you have a freeway basically on either side of the neighborhood, said Everhart.
Everhart added that high traffic makes the property more valuable for commercial use than family living at this point.
Now, both the George Stewart House and Mary Wood house are in danger of being demolished.
The homes are currently in foreclosure, and preservationists say the entire lot is scheduled to be sold at auction this Friday.
According to a public notice, the sale will take place at 1:00 p.m. at the Pioneer Title Company office on West Rifleman Street in Boise.
The notice of default is for $497,610.
In this particular instance, this particular property would allow the preservation community to take some control in a neighborhood that we've had no control in, said Everhart.
That's why Preservation Idaho volunteers are seeking donations to try and make a competitive bid on the property and save the two historic homes.
That means they'll need to come up with about $500,000. Donations are tax deductible and Preservation Idaho is willing to refund donors if they so choose if enough money isn't raised to make the bid.
Everhart admits it's a big task.
It will take a significant investment and there's lots of things that need to be done to the Stewart House, added Everhart. And he's talking about repairs that need to be made after winning the auction.
For example, costs to refurbish the George Stewart home could reach $100,000.
If Preservation Idaho can't get the money it needs to bid on the lot, volunteers hope someone will see the beauty and history in the two homes off 5th and Myrtle and refurbish the existing properties.
Keeping them where they are, preserving them in place and hopefully renovating them here to speak to their own history and the architecture of the neighborhood as well as just the viability of that, said Everhart.
He added that even if the lot is purchased by someone else, there is still the possibility the homes could be moved and preserved, but that takes a lot of time, planning and money. Everhart told us in all honesty, the chances are slim.
It's unclear what will happen to the people renting rooms inside the two historic homes. Preservations said it depends on who places the winning bid at auction.

May 13, 2013This sequel plays more like a shooter than its predecessor, but doesn't sacrifice its intricate narrative or creative vision in the process. Masochistic fans will appreciate the harder difficulties that recreate the grueling experience of the original, but no matter how you approach it, exploring Last Light's absorbing world is wholly entertaining.
May 13, 2013Subtlety is what makes Last Light such an exceptionally immersive game. It nails the core tenets of a shooter, then forces you to react to enemies in ways outside of simply taking cover. It plops you in a post-apocalyptic world, then fills it with tons of minor but substantial details, like the shadows of once-living people now permanently nuked into stone walls. It strips you of hope, only to dangle a tiny sliver of it ahead of you like a carrot on a stick.
May 13, 2013In spite of its bugs and issues, Metro: Last Light captivates players with its graphical achievements, dark atmosphere and nice action sections.
May 20, 2013It isn't perfect, but it takes everything that was great about its predecessor and makes the whole package more accessible. It's a shining example of how to use shooter mechanics to tell a story, which is enough to make it a must-play in my book.
Jun 13, 2013A great antidote for brogamer oriented western shooters. Game is chock full of nice atmosphere. [June 2013]
May 13, 2013Metro Last Light is an excellent first person shooter that we recommend to all FPS maniacs. Those who were fascinated by the original Metro 2033, can proceed to an instant buy without even checking the package with a Geiger counter.
Jun 5, 2013It's a relentlessly tense stealth-action shooter that manages to make its dead-horse premise feel as if it's never been seen before now.
May 13, 2013The fact Last Light is absolutely stunning on the PC and packed full of crisp detail makes exploring and fighting through this hellish, dimly-lit realm an affecting and exhilarating experience. A few years and a lot of spit-shine make a huge difference on the visual front.
May 24, 2013There are legitimately scary moments in Last Light, to the point it's almost one part survival horror to three parts first person shooter.
May 27, 2013Metro: Last Light is a bold symphony to the senses. Deep Silver is the new bringer of AAA titles, now they have a lot to live up to. As the saying goes, you are only as good as your last game release. Deep Silver is now the one to watch.
May 20, 2013As the game progressed, I felt more and more attached to Artyom and how his journey through the Metro would finish, which is a testament to the narrative, and the world it resides in.
May 28, 2013Besides some "western" touches, 4A Games delivers a very special and almost flawless game which proves that Eastern European development scene is here to stay.
May 13, 2013Metro: Last Light does belong in the company of Half-Life, though. It's an unusual, meticulously detailed shooter inextricable from its environment – making its refuge in the railways of Moscow all the more apt. The survival and shooting aspects engage with what is considered valuable in the world, and both leave ample room for moments of solace, exploration and concise violence.
May 14, 2013Metro: Last Light isn't just another AAA shooter aimed at a typical gamer. The game's strength lies in its mature, brutal content - and I don't mean just the story (that will get its own book soon). Metro has a ton of amazing little details that make this virtual world seem very real. And what's more - the game is absolutely beautiful. Taking all this into consideration, there can be only one verdict: must buy.
May 13, 2013If you were to take someone who's played his share of shooters, someone who cares about the story between and around the shooting, someone who can appreciate games that offer new takes on familiar experiences, Crysis [3] will feel like a soulless blockbuster to the auteur's art film of Metro: Last Light.
Jun 5, 2013As far as 4A Games is concerned, one can only be awe-stricken. With only 10% of the average western developer's budget, they have managed to publish a stunning game, simultaneously on four platforms. The underdog has triumphed. [June 2013]

Artyom, pull the lever, Artyom shine your flash light, Artyom climb up the ladder, Arytom follow me. The game so "railroad track linear" anyway, you couldn't go anywhere else if you wanted to. Take notice of all the high user reviews. 90% of them have no review history. They just popped on the grid like Metro was the first game they ever played. Can someone say "suspicious"? The graphics feel like the first Metro. They were cool then, but when you take a close look at the detail, it's so dated. The hallways have that computer precision geometry. The sound needs so much work.
The atmospheric plays in the background, but the rusty elevator I'm riding is completely silent. Details details. Is it a game changer? Maybe maybe not, but as the little things start to accumulate, you realize how much you appreciate a game that has polish. Like the voice acting. It is bad bad. It sounds like the actors are reading directly from the script into the microphone. It's almost painful to listen to. Like when the lower ranking officer gets his dialog cut off by the higher ranking officer. You know, like when you're cut off mid-sentence? Except the low ranking guy just reads his script to the cut off point and there's a pause BEFORE he get's cut off? Little things. I like an immersive experience and what caught my eye about this game was all the reviews that say what a great feel this game has. It might, but the devil is in the details, and this game misses in some very pronounced ways. At least do yourself the smallest favor. Don't spend that fifty bucks because you may feel like I do. Paying top dollar is for games that live up to the score, and the scores on this game have been dubiously amped. It's not quite a money grab, but it sure leans that way.… Full Review »

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Financial data and news company Bloomberg LP says it has corrected a "mistake" in its newsgathering policies and cut off its journalists' special access to client log-in activity on the company's ubiquitous trading information terminals after Goldman Sachs complained about the matter last month.
A person familiar with the matter said Friday that Goldman Sachs became concerned about outside access after a Bloomberg reporter, investigating what she thought was the departure of a Goldman employee, told the securities firm that the employee had not logged into a Bloomberg terminal for a number of weeks.
The person was not authorized to speak publicly and gave the information on condition of anonymity.
Separately, the Federal Reserve is looking into whether Bloomberg journalists tracked data about terminal usage by top Fed officials, a spokeswoman said. The agency has contacted Bloomberg to learn more, she said.
On Saturday, CNBC reported that a former Bloomberg employee said he accessed information about terminal usage by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
The Fed spokeswoman wouldn't comment on the CNBC report. A Treasury spokesman couldn't be reached for comment.
In a memo sent to staff Friday, Bloomberg CEO Daniel Doctoroff said the company had "long made limited customer relationship data available to our journalists," but added, "we realize this was a mistake."
After the complaint last month, Bloomberg "immediately" turned off its journalists' special access and limited it to what clients can see themselves, he said.
The dispute was earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Bloomberg News reporters had been able to see when any of the company's 315,000 paying subscribers, mostly stock and bond traders, had last logged into the service. They could also view the types of "functions" individual subscribers had accessed.
For instance, reporters could see if subscribers had been looking at top news stories, or if they had been gathering data on stocks or bonds, but not which stories or bonds and stocks they had looked up, said Ty Trippet, a Bloomberg LP spokesman. He said reporters could also see if subscribers were using "message" or "chat" functions to send messages to each other over the terminals, but not the recipient of the messages or their content.
Reporters were mostly getting contact information for subscribers, like telephone numbers and email addresses, Trippet said.
In his staff memo, Doctoroff said that access did not extend to "trading, portfolio, monitor, blotter or other related systems or our clients' messages."
He said senior executive Steve Ross had been appointed to the new position of client data compliance officer to review Bloomberg's policies.

Hearing Today on Bus Fare Increases
A public hearing on proposed fee increases for La Crosse's public bus service today.
The transit utility wants to boost all fares, senior citizens and disabled riders included. Proposed fare for a regular adult rider would be $1.50. A quarter higher than it is now, but still in line with fares in other like-sized Wisconsin cities. Eau Claire and Janesville are currently at a $1.50. Sheboygan's a little higher at $1.75 for regular bus fare. Other cities like Wausau and Fond du Lac are at $1.25. Oshkosh appears to be the lowest; bus ride there is still just a buck. Fare increase hearing is at 5:15 in city council chambers.
Late Sessions Bring Out The Tempers In Madison
Members of Wisconsin's Assembly might be sleeping in today. That's after back to back days of late nights and early mornings in the state capitol. And it was apparent that some were getting fiesty around 1:30 this morning.

After Republican Jeff Fitzgerald responded to Barca, someone in the audience then yelled an obscenity at Fitzgerald, and the speaker pro-tem had the gallery cleared.

For eligible patients who are dealing with morbid obesity, Novitas Solutions will help in covering them for sleeve gastrectomy at Dr. Frank D. Veninga's Dallas bariatric practice. Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure where a significant portion of the patient's stomach is removed in order to reduce their appetite.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 16, 2013
Sleeve gastrectomy performed at the Dallas bariatric surgery practice of Dr. Frank D. Veninga, North Texas Bariatric & General Surgery, is now covered by Novitas Solutions. Novitas Solutions is an approved Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction H, which includes the state of Texas among other states. The removal of the Non-Covered status indicator by Novitas Solutions will allow patients of Dr. Veninga´s practice to undergo sleeve gastrectomy without having to pay entirely out of pocket, if they are eligible for coverage due to their morbid obesity.
Revised Medical Coverage Policy
It was announced by Dr. Wayne English, Lloyd Stegemann, and John Morton that the Novitas Solutions jurisdiction posted a revised medical coverage policy that was improved with the addition of the coverage of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Dr. Veninga´s Dallas bariatric surgery practice was pleased to hear about this change that became effective for Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas on December 21, 2012.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight loss procedure that is an effective alternative to gastric banding. During sleeve gastrectomy, Dr. Veninga carefully reduces the capacity of the patient´s stomach by removing a substantial portion of the organ, in turn reducing the appetite of the patient. The patient then goes on to lose weight due to the reduced appetite experienced following surgery.
Risks and Benefits of Sleeve Gastrectomy
There are a variety of benefits that come from choosing the option of sleeve gastrectomy, including:
· Bypass of intestinal tract is not required
· The surgery preserves the stomach´s natural structures
· It is a safe, proven procedure
· The residual stomach will be able to function normally
As with any other medical procedure, there are some potential complications that may occur, including wound infection, splenic injury, and peritonitis; however, these complications are rare. Unlike some other forms of weight loss surgery, the procedure is not reversible.
Dr. Veninga and His Staff
Dr. Veninga and his highly trained staff provide bariatric procedures in order to allow patients to overcome morbid obesity and lead healthier lives. In 1987, Dr. Veninga established his general surgery practice, and in 2000 began performing bariatric surgery.

Alcoholism in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is characterized by early development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with advanced cirrhosis and cancer staging at diagnosis. Alcoholism independently predicts an increased risk of mortality in patients with HBV– and HCV–related HCC.

Past Travel
Travel2Know has in the past sponsored such well organized trips that leads everyone back to us.
While at the Top of the World - Bhutan, we adjusted to the high altitudes of the tallest mountains before embarking to Bhutan - The land of monks and monasteries, a peaceful place for contemplation. Martha Johnson and family traveled with us in honor of Maurice Johnson - a long time traveler who has traveled with us for the past 30 years.
Summer 2011
Have you ever thought about the number of great novels inspired by the South Pacific, Melville's trilogy Typee, Omoo, and Mardi as well as Moby Dick; Stevenson's In the South Seas; Somereset Maugham's Moon and Sixpence, Jack London's The Cruise of the Snark, and Thor Heyerdahl, Kon Tiki, to name a few? Some of our friends, TRAVEL2KNOW and KSU's Dr. Sandy Marovitz shared wonderful pictures to the Marguesas, Tahiti and other island in French Polynesia.
"A Glorious Adventure" - The Gerald Read Center spent some time in India during January of 2009. During this time, the group was able to experience a real feeble and flavor of India by participating in enriching, cultural experiences that not any tourist can experience. The group went on elephant rides in Jaipur as well as participating in evening entertainment; went to the Taj Mahal and relaxed on houseboat while they cruised on the Kerela River. We also created relationships - relationships with the diversity of India by Visiting with the Buddhist and Hindu Temples and the Islamic Taj Mahal, deepened our relationship with the emerging economy of India as we bartered in urban and road-side markets for high-tech and hand-made goods. We widened our relationship with nature as we marveled at the Arvalli Mountains and Lake Pichola
Nicaragua - Territorially the largest in Central America, Nicaragua quickly became on of the region's most popular destinations. Visits to the oldest Roman Catholic Church, to Flor de Cana, a large sugar plantation and to the famous volcano Momotombo left us wanting more......

Comparing Linux and Microsoft Windows for Enterprise Usage
Cloud computing is almost as buzzworthy as virtualization, which is funny considering that it is an offshoot of the virtualization movement. Cloud computing refers to a strategy of using a pool of resources (such as servers, storage, bandwidth) or a "cloud" to offer individualized servers or services to customers. Cloud services usually pertain to Web-based application services, but more and more apps are appearing "in the cloud". These newer apps include corporate e-mail hosting, file storage, user collaboration and mobile apps. Clouds are a cost-beneficial proposition for smaller customers that want the advantages of a data center (clustering, high availability/disaster recovery) without the cost of maintaining one. Amazon has been a pioneer in this area with its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service where you can purchase your own cloud servers or applications that run within the Amazon cloud. Microsoft has jumped into the market and poured considerable resources and energy into the emerging technology. It has been live with its public cloud, Azure, since 2009. Microsoft's private cloud, which will be managed through System Center, is scheduled for release in the first half of 2010.
If you want to deploy a private Linux-based cloud now, you can do so with Ubuntu. The process is remarkably simple. Download Ubuntu server and launch the server install process. Upon boot, you will see an option from the main install screen to install the server as a Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) server either as a cluster controller or as a node. You will need one of each to get started. Once up and running, you can download images from the management site (Figure 12) or begin creating your own images that match your cloud needs. The cloud you are deploying actually is a re-branded version of the open-source cloud software Eucalyptus. Management is accomplished via command-line or GUI-based tools like hybridfox (Figure 13), a Firefox add-in that runs like a modified version of Amazon's Elasticfox management utility.
Many other areas of the enterprise are ripe for Linux penetration. The ones presented here represent some of the best chances for Linux adoption in the vast majority of enterprises. I encourage you to download and test these options to see how beneficial they can be to your business. Linux's future development, its very survival, rests in its ability to stake a claim in the business computing market, and the only way to do that is by constantly challenging the status quo with viable, cost-saving alternatives. Hopefully, I've given you some of those alternatives here.

Hanging out with my sister. She lives in Chicago and I live Frisco (Dallas area), so we don't get to see each other that often. For the last three years we've made plans to meet up at the ESSENCE Music Festival with one of our other cousins and have great time. I guess you could say the Festival brings family and friends together. My most memorable moment was when my sister spotted Laz Alonso. How she spotted him in the crowd across from Cafe Du Monde, I have not idea. I will never forget what he said as we waived to him, "Well, hello sweetheart." It was like something out of movie and very nice of him to say hi to us. Love the Festival and all it does to bring us together!
FYI: The photo is of us at Dooky Chase restaurant.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this gorgeous 1999 Plymouth Prowler! The design of the Prowler was said to have been inspired after Chrysler engineers were given free rein to create whatever they wanted in a ''hot rod'' or ''sportster'' type vehicle. One of the most striking design features of the Prowler are the open, Indy racer style front wheels.
New for the '99 model year, this Prowler features the more powerful aluminum block 253hp version 3.5L V6 mated to a 4-speed autostick automatic transmission. The transmission was located at the rear of the vehicle and joined to the engine by a flexible driveshaft that rotated at engine speed, an arrangement similar to that used by the C5 Corvette, Porsche 944, and Alfa Romeo 75 which helped to facilitate a desirable 50-50 front-rear weight distribution. While criticized for featuring a V6 only, Chrysler's High Output 3.5L had a horsepower rating similar to the company's Magnum V8s of that era. While not making nearly as much torque as a V8, Prowler's light weight translated into impressive off-the-line acceleration with 0-60mph coming in 5.8 seconds with a top speed of 126mph electronically limited.
The car prominently featured aluminum in its construction, chiefly in the chassis. In many cases, the components were adhesively bonded. The body was produced in Shadyside, Ohio, and the car was assembled by hand at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan. This Prowler is finished in ''Prowler Yellow'' over black leather and is in excellent condition with only 15,992 miles on the clock. It is a 2 owner car and was purchased by the current owner 16 years ago with only 29 miles. Everything operates as new and has recently received an oil change and new front tires. Speaking of tires, they are 225/45R17 in the front and 295/40R20 in the back so it has that cool hot rod look. It also features composite 13'' vented disc brakes in front and 11'' vented discs in the rear.
Chrysler only made 11,702 Prowlers from 1997-2002 with 8,532 of them badged as a ''Plymouth Prowler'' and 3,170 badged as a ''Chrysler Prowler''. There were 3,921 Plymouth Prowlers manufactured in 1999 with this being number 950 produced. Don't miss your opportunity to own this extremely unique and cool roadster! A safe investment as they have not depreciated much and have a great upside.
To see over 80 photos of this car, including under carriage please visit our website www.grautogallery.com
Gr Auto Gallery makes every effort to represent each vehicle accurately and with integrity. We also welcome third party inspections when necessary. Although we try to do our very best to be accurate in our description writing we are human and do make mistakes. Unless otherwise noted, All vehicles are sold AS IS, No Warranty Expressed or Implied.

CVM 4.1 Master Role
Is there any way to choose the next CVM master?
Who would become the next CVM master when vsfcbe4 stops it's CVM SG?
Can I change a config file to make, let us say, sjmemfs07 the next CVM master?
Here is my nidmap as fed from vxclustadm:
# vxclustadm nidmap
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
somehow I missed this post...
well there is no file where you can change this information......
Usually the next CVM master is decided with the CVM Node ID, currently in your scenario vfscbe4-prod is master server, if that fails, the next lower CVM Node ID should take over , so I would expect vfscbe1-prod since that has lowest CVM Node ID.
But trust me I have seen inconsistency in this behaviour, I have seen lower LLT node ID taking this behavior... & for sure this is unconfigurable..

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Nearly five hundred times in the past century, American presidents have deployed the nation's military abroad, on missions ranging from embassy evacuations to full-scale wars. The question of whether Congress has effectively limited the president's power to do so has generally met with a resounding "no." In While Dangers Gather, William Howell and Jon Pevehouse reach a very different conclusion.
The authors--one an American politics scholar, the other an international relations scholar--provide the most comprehensive and compelling evidence to date on Congress's influence on presidential war powers. Their findings have profound implications for contemporary debates about war, presidential power, and Congress's constitutional obligations.
While devoting special attention to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, this book systematically analyzes the last half-century of U.S. military policy. Among its conclusions: Presidents are systematically less likely to exercise military force when their partisan opponents retain control of Congress. The partisan composition of Congress, however, matters most for proposed deployments that are larger in size and directed at less strategically important locales. Moreover, congressional influence is often achieved not through bold legislative action but through public posturing--engaging the media, raising public concerns, and stirring domestic and international doubt about the United States' resolve to see a fight through to the end.

Panasonic Plasma Lip sync problem (audio delay)I bought a Panasonic Plasma TV recently and noticed on a lot of channels especially the HD channels I have a lip sync (audio delay) problem. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this or if it is fixable? I didnt see any settings that can adjust the audio delay under the audio settings. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Also, I found some software upgrades for my TV. http://www.pasctrainin
Why would I upgrade the D-board firmware? What is a D-Board?
Upgrading is always fun, just follow the directions and try it out.
Anyways are you running your sound through a headunit? I have noticed lag sometimes in that area. Also are you connected via hdmi?
Al Swearengen: Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
I have some lag from my satellite receiver connecting to the tv via hdmi and to the 5.1 audio receiver via optical cable. It's not noticable unless you really pay attention.
It sounds like you are using your built-in tv speakers. I would suggest running a video/audio line to a spare tv and see if the problem exists. It might be an issue with the cable/satellite receiver and not your tv.
Also, while not a cheap way to test, run the audio to a 5.1 audio receiver or whatever you have or maybe a buddy has and see if that is a reasonable solution.
I'll try and think of a few other options as well.
Having a great time and visiting family are mutually exclusive.
thanks for the advice. Right now the TV is just running off the wall cable line. Standard cable. I am picking up HD channels via the QAM Tuner. some channels are lagging and others not so much. I think it may just be the Broadcast Network. I am looking for a PnP surround sound for now
I noticed a lip sync problem the other night which would occur a couple of minutes into a show we were watching. I fixed it by changing channels then coming back - something I had to do several times during the evening. I think it has to do with the feed from our cable company (Verizon). If you're not seeing this on all channels, then most likely it is not your TV.
my dtv box will do this occasionally.
usually while watching one hdtv channel and recording another.
not al the time either, more likely when signal strenght is low due to poor weather and the box is doing more processing due to missed signals.
all tech support threads will now be answered with possibly random and false information.
This is due to the retardedness of posters and answering posters in general.
thank you, have a nice day.
My DTV Box does this alll the time, quite annoying. I've spoken to multiple levels of tech support until someone finally told me it's a known bug. A google search confirmed this issue, they are working on a firmware update atm. I'm assuming it's your broadcast as well. Damn wireless HD

GOP candidate Kashkari proposes tax breaks
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A 10-year corporate tax credit for companies that move to California and create more than 100 new jobs, diverting nearly $10 billion in high-speed rail bond money to water storage projects and promoting fracking for oil and natural gas are among the policy proposals released Tuesday by Republican gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari.
The proposals read like a wish list of proposals Republican lawmakers in the state Legislature have pushed over the last decade. Democrats hold large majorities in both houses and the governorship, making political compromises on GOP priorities difficult or even unnecessary.
Kashkari, the former U.S. Treasury official who oversaw the bank bailout at the height of the financial crisis, has said he would rely on that experience to overcome longstanding political divisions in the state capital. He noted that Troubled Asset Relief Program had bipartisan support in Congress and spanned Republican and Democratic presidential administrations.
But ideas such as reforming the California Environmental Quality Act, a complex maze of regulations that businesses and developers say stymies growth, have strong opposition and lobbying interests that have blocked most efforts to change it, including some by Democrats. Gov. Jerry Brown sought a CEQA overhaul last year but settled instead for legislation that tinkered with elements of the law.
"Neel will champion CEQA reform that ends abusive lawsuits and provides process certainty to all, not just well-connected interests that are able to win the special favor of the governor and powerful legislators," his jobs proposals says.
Kashkari said the environmental law is hurting California's ability to tap billions in revenue-generating oil and natural gas, a practice he would like to see expanded through the process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Brown, a Democrat, has largely supported the practice in California's Central Valley oil region and signed legislation last year to establish the state's first rules on disclosure and permitting for fracking.
Environmentalists have been unhappy with Brown's refusal to place a moratorium on the practice and have dogged him at public events, including trying to shout him down during his address earlier this month at the Democratic Party's state convention in Los Angeles.
Dan Newman, a spokesman for the governor, referred to the plan as "political rhetoric."
"In the last four years California has created over a million new jobs, unemployment has dropped to its lowest level since 2008, massive deficits are now solid surpluses, our credit rating is rising, and our job growth is outpacing the nation," he said in an email.
Kashkari is one of two Republicans raising money in hopes of advancing to the November general election to face Brown, who is expected to coast through the top-two primary in June. He has almost $20 million in the bank and is widely seen as having a lock on re-election.
Kashkari's other policy, economic and infrastructure proposals include:
— Establishing an "energy and environment jobs" task force to study changing technology and the ongoing effects of hydraulic fracturing.
— Sunsetting all state regulations after 10 years absent special approval from the state Little Hoover Commission, a regulatory body that does not currently have such authority.

In age of political vitriol, opposing Christians call for civility
Jim Wallis, the progressive CEO of Sojourners, and Richard Land, the conservative head of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, are two religious scholars with opposing political views. But at their joint event at the National Press Club in Washington Wednesday, they agreed on some issues as they discussed and debated faith and the 2012 election.
According to Wallis, while he disagrees with Land on most political issues, they were able to have a civil debate - something Wallis hopes politicians can learn from. "Richard Land and I are friends and we agree and disagree about policy matters. But the way we talk about it is in a civil manner," Wallis said.

I have no doubt that if I wrote "my story," not only would it become a New York Times best-seller, it would have everyone wondering how I could have possibly emerged triumphant in spite of the injustices I've faced (having a hair in my soup at restaurants, not being able to find a parking space, etc.) Ok, fine. I can admit that Phil Adé's story is much more interesting (seeing as how I'm not a rapper and all), and on his latest leak, My Story, making its worldwide premiere right here right now, we're offered a snippet of his life – high school kid to rising star emcee. Team Demo's light sprinkles of guitar and murmuring instrumentals, while having the potential to become the personal theme music of a private investigator, fits Ade perfectly, and as he tap-dances over the beat with two very satisfying verses, we're only left wanting more. Fortunately, Phil Ade's DJBooth.net-hosted album The Letterman drops next Tuesday, so if My Story only makes your hungrier for some good music, don't worry. You're gonna have a full stomach pretty soon.

is this possible to "correct"?
I'd like to know the same thing. I'll let you know what I find.
i tryied the yet beta driver (4690) and it try's to do that. when i put xawtv in full screen, it aplys only to one monitor. but :( when i tried to start Americas Army, anything appeared but two black screens...
