How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

THR's Actor Roundtable: 6 Leading Men on Politics, Over-40 Actresses and the Dangers of Success
Matt Damon, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Richard Gere, Alan Arkin and John Hawkes convene for a rare exploration of the current state of the male movie star.
THR: But for a woman over 40 …
Washington: I tell my daughter -- she's at NYU -- I say: "You're black, you're a woman, and you're dark-skinned at that. So you have to be a triple/quadruple threat." I said: "You gotta learn how to act. You gotta learn how to dance, sing, move onstage." That's the only place, in my humble opinion, you really learn how to act. I said: "Look at Viola Davis. That's who you want to be. Forget about the little pretty girls; if you're relying on that, when you hit 40, you're out the door. You better have some chops."
VIDEO: Sneak Peek of Richard Gere in Suspense Thriller 'Arbitrage'
THR: Denzel, you said the other day, "We attract what we fear." What are you all afraid of?
Damon: I'm afraid of great actors! (Laughter.)
Hawkes: David Mamet wrote a line in Edmond: "Every fear hides a wish." I guess I am afraid of mediocrity and cliche, and that's about it. I'm not afraid of being poor; I've done that. Not afraid of it all running out -- that's OK, too. If a bomb drops tomorrow, I'll be in an alley, making up a poem for the five people who survived alongside me.
Gere: I get afraid every time I take a job on -- every single time. There's a buzz I get before every take.
Washington: But that's a good thing.
Gere: I'm OK with it. I'm still trying to figure out the world, myself, people around me, and ultimately part of that curiosity is probably a fear also that I don't know who I am. Is it possible to ever know another human being? Is there a self? Is there a Richard? I don't know.
THR: Do you have any role or thing you've done in your career that you regret?
Washington: Shoot, yes. But I would never say because someone made the film.
Foxx: I did a film called Booty Call.
Gere: I thought it was one of your best!
Washington: I got the Blu-ray. (Laughter.)
VIDEO: Denzel Washington's 'Flight' Trailer Hits
THR: Who is the most interesting person you've met and why?
Gere: The Dalai Lama, for sure. He's got more energy than all of us. He's more curious, more skilled at dealing with people, absolutely willing to be the buffoon if it takes people to the next level. He's deeply funny. He tells dirty jokes. He can do anything.
Arkin: I had the opportunity to meet him 25 years ago, and it got blown somehow, and it's a moment I regret.
Gere: I'll make it work.
Washington: [Nelson Mandela] is up there, for sure. He used to call me on New Year's Day: "Denzel? I'm going to come to your house." He actually came to my house. He wanted my wife to fry him some chicken! It was, like, helicopters around -- it was Nelson Mandela! And he was sitting in the house. One of the security guys where we live was like: "Sylvester Stallone keeps looking over the wall. Think we should let him in?" We had about 50 people, from Stallone to Oprah to Quincy Jones, and they were just hanging on every word.
THR: Is there a danger in associating with political figures or politics?
Damon: I don't think there's anything wrong with saying what you believe, as long as you're OK with people disagreeing with you. For some reason, I was one of the first people to ask, "Are we ever going to get to know this Sarah Palin person before the [2008] election?" I did take it a step further and compare it to a bad Disney movie, with the mom from Alaska facing down Vladimir Putin in the third act. (Laughter.)
Foxx: Republicans don't take jokes well. I've performed for George W. Bush and all these guys 'cause I'm from Texas. I did a big thing at the Cowboys' new stadium. You got Bush there, I'm cracking jokes, and I said, "Come on, man, you gotta lighten up." They don't take it well because all jokes have a layer of truth.
Gere: When we talk about something, we've got to know our stuff 10 times better than anybody else to be taken seriously. And that's OK. I would stay clear about something I don't know. But Asia's my area; Tibet's my area. AIDS was very, very important to me.
Washington: Giving is the most selfish thing you can do because you feel so good -- [that's] the feeling that I get since I'm "independently wealthy." (Laughter.) We've got an obligation to give. I'm the national spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and [since that began] we've gone from 2 million to 4 million boys and girls that we service. You know that you are affecting in a positive way someone's life.
STORY: John Hawkes: Hopeful, but Ready for Backlash and (Maybe) Permanent Back Pain
THR: Given that a lot of kids look up to you as a role model, do you worry about the characters you play or when there's too much violence?
Washington: No, I don't. I mean, if it's something I wasn't comfortable with, I wouldn't do it. The most violent characters are in Shakespeare, so should they not see Julius Caesar?
Arkin: It's not the violence, but it's the attitude toward it that's the issue. A lot of times I feel as if I'm watching people that are reveling in it, and that disturbs me. I can feel it jumping off the screen at me, being loved for the amount of blood or the graphic design of it. When it gets into that, I feel like it's dispassionate, which scares the hell out of me. Yeah, I think there's too much. I think it's more than necessary.
Washington: Does good news sell?
Hawkes: That's the thing. Doesn't sell here, does it?
Foxx: I watch all that. I'm the Internet dude. I watch when somebody slams somebody -- I just love that!
Hawkes: We love conflict, and we love storytelling. We're curious people.
Damon: And fearful, too. And fear sells a lot, so there is always an attempt to drum up fear.
THR: Has anyone given you a life-changing piece of advice?
Hawkes: Growing up in a little rural community, it was getting on a bus in 10th grade and going 150 miles to a theater in Minneapolis and seeing Arthur Miller's The Crucible. That was the "burning bush" moment for me.
Arkin: Two things. Reading the life of Gandhi, that was a kick in the head. And then somebody gave me The Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse. It disturbed me so much that I knew there was a truth in it that I had to find out about. It changed my life radically. It was the beginning of wrenching me out of a kind of psychic despair, into a sense of hope. And the needle started shifting from acting: The first 45 years of my life, acting was the only reason I had for being alive, and from that moment on, it started shifting to what it is now, where it is an expression of who I am, and it's not the reason for my life anymore. And I just feel infinitely happier as a result.
PHOTOS: 'Flight' Premiere: Denzel Washington, Robert Zemeckis Touch Down on Red Carpet
THR: Is there one role you would love to play?
Damon: I'd love to play Bobby Kennedy. At the end of his life, he really saw the matrix and said some radical and amazing things, and then he died.
Washington: James Bond! (Laughter.) Some more Shakespeare, all of it. I did Richard III when I was too young. I need to revisit that. Too old for Hamlet now, I guess. Lear.
Damon: Too young!
Gere: The big, dramatic, crazy characters are much easier, for sure. The quiet, delicate ones that don't show too much, that you've still got to keep interesting for two hours, I find extremely tough.
Hawkes: It's the opposite for me. It's easier for me to play the more still person, although I'm not above scenery-chewing.
THR: If you gave up acting, what would you do?
Arkin: Become a safecracker.
Foxx: Oh, man, I'd leave this in a minute. I would scratch a Lotto ticket; I'd be history. (Laughter.) I'd be cool, I would be in Thailand, Golden Triangle.
Washington: Eighteen-hand massages.
Foxx: I told my daughter, I said: "If I hit a lick, I'm out." It's just the pressure right now of trying to be "that guy," it's tough. I've mapped myself after D [Denzel]. Me and Leonardo DiCaprio were talking about you the other day, about [how] everything he does, I really believe he does it. And Leo goes, "Buddy, I'm scared of that dude. He'd just grab my trachea and pull it out." I watched him when he went from the television series and then Denzel became "D," the one that everybody wanted to hang with, the one you identified with in the movie, and I thought that was fantastic. My worry is, how do I … without stealing so much from him …
Gere: which is impossible …
Foxx: … find your way to where you're really comfortable? But it's a lot of pressure. That constant pressure sometimes eats away at you a little bit.

HANOI: In Hanoi, it is a truth universally acknowledged that the best pho noodle soup is found in the grimiest restaurants, where the staff are rude, the queues long, and the surroundings spartan at best.
Pho, a simple soup of beef broth, herbs, spices and rice noodles, emerged some 100 years ago in north Vietnam and has since acquired a global following, beloved by French celebrity chefs and cash-strapped American students alike.
But in Vietnam eating pho is akin to a religious ritual – as the late writer Nguyen Tuan said – and the humble dish, which can be found on every street corner in the capital Hanoi, is integral to people's daily lives.
"I have been eating here for more than 20 years," Tran Van Hung told AFP as he stood shivering in Hanoi's damp winter chill in the queue at the Pho Thin restaurant.
"The staff here is always rude to me. I'm used to it. I don't care," the 39-year-old said, adding that he was raised on the noodles from the unassuming yet renowned establishment on Hanoi's Lo Duc street.
Pho is a Vietnamese staple. While traditionally a breakfast food, it is now served at all times of day and eaten regularly by rich and poor alike, usually at the same establishments, where it costs around a dollar a bowl.
"Pho is purely Vietnamese, the most unique, distinctive dish in our cuisine," said chef Pham Anh Tuyet.
The noodles must be handmade, the perfect size and no more than four hours old; the ginger must be chargrilled; the broth of beef bones and oriental spices must have bubbled gently for at least eight hours over coals, she said.
"The fragrant perfume of the pho is part of the beauty of the dish," Tuyet, who is famed for her mastery of traditional cooking, told AFP.
"No other country can make anything like pho – one of the secrets is the broth, the clear, aromatic broth," she told AFP at her tiny restaurant, tucked away on the top floor of a wood-fronted house in Hanoi's Old Quarter.
The exact origins of pho are obscure and highly controversial in Vietnam.
It is traditionally made with beef broth, but chicken has also been used since the 1940s when the Japanese occupation resulted in a scarcity of beef.
Beef was not common in Vietnamese cooking at the turn of the century – cattle were valuable working beasts – but with the arrival of the steak-eating French colonialists, bones and other scraps became available for the soup pot.
Some experts, such as Didier Corlou, the former head chef at Hanoi's Metropole Hotel who has expounded pho's virtues to international gourmands for decades, argue the dish is "Vietnamese with French influence."
"The name 'pho' could have come from 'pot au feu' – the French dish," Corlou told AFP, pointing out similarities between the dishes, including the grilled onion in the French dish and the grilled shallot in pho.
Another theory, Corlou said, is that as pho was first sold by roving hawkers carrying a pot and an earthenware stove – a "coffre-feu" in French – the name comes from the shouts of "feu?" "feu!" to establish if noodles were available.
Yet another argument suggests pho originated from a talented cook in Nam Dinh city – once Vietnam's largest colonial textile center, where both French and Vietnamese workers toiled – who thought up a soup to please both nationalities.
Many Vietnamese strongly deny any French influence on their national dish, arguing it pre-dates the colonial period and is uniquely northern Vietnamese.
But whatever the real story, "pho is one of the world's best soups," Corlou said. "For me Vietnamese cuisine is the best in the world."
Corlou said that while the main ingredients of pho stay constant, the dish must evolve.
At his three Hanoi restaurants, for example, he offers a salmon pho as well as a pho au fois gras priced at $10 a bowl – "you cannot put pho in a museum," he said.
In the last decade, new local versions of that classic – including fresh rolls made from unsliced pho rice noodle sheets – have also emerged.
And as Vietnam has grown richer, more expensive pho – including a $40 kobe beef version – has appeared.
But beyond adding more meat, there is not much you can do to improve the dish, said Hanoi-based chef and cuisine expert Tracey Lister, who thinks the Vietnamese deserve the credit for their acclaimed noodle soup.
"It is the great dish, the celebrated dish, and I think we've got to let Vietnam have that one," Lister, the director of the Hanoi Cooking Center, said.
"Pho truly represents Vietnamese cuisine. It's a simple dish yet sophisticated. It is a very elegant dish. It's just a classic."

Controversial Right-Wing Blogger, Pamela Geller, Banned From Entering England
Known for her radically anti-Islam views, Geller was to speak at an anti-Muslim rally in London
By: Daniel Koren
Pamela Geller, a controversial blogger known for her radical, far-right, anti-Islam rhetoric, has been barred from entering the United Kingdom by Theresa May, current Home Secretary of the British parliament.
Geller is famous for her activism and harsh criticism of Islam.
May, and the Home Office, informed Geller that she is 'excluded from the UK' in a long letter that Geller later posted to her blog, Atlas Shrugs (named after the book by Ayn Rand).
"I have been banned in Britain," writes Geller. "My crime? My principled dedication to freedom. I am a human rights activist dedicated to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and individual rights for all before the law. I fiercely oppose violence and the persecution and oppression of minorities under supremacist law. I deplore violence and work for the preservation of freedom of speech to avoid violent conflict."
She goes on. "I have never been convicted of any crime. I have never been arrested. I became a writer and activist in the wake of 911. For this I am banned. I shed no tears. I am banned from Mecca, too."
The Home Secretary wrote that Geller's presence in the UK would not be "conducive to the public good," and that her controversial history as a blogger would "foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK."
"In a striking blow against freedom, the British government has banned us from entering the country. Muhammad al-Arifi, who has advocated Jew-hatred, wife-beating, and jihad violence, entered the U.K. recently with no difficulty. In not allowing us into the country solely because of our true and accurate statements about Islam, the British government is behaving like a de facto Islamic state. The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead," Geller writes in response to being banned.
Geller, along with her co-founder in Stop Islamisation of America (SIOA), Robert Spencer, were both banned from Britain after it was confirmed they would attend and speak at a public rally in Woolwich organized by the English Defense League, a far-right movement with sides with Geller on her concern of the 'Islamisation of Europe.'
"Today is a sad day for freedom of speech," said English Defense Leauge leader Tommy Robinson.
"We condemn all those whose behaviors and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form," the Home Office said in a statement.
The rally was set to take place in Woolwich due to the recent events that have transpired there.
On May 22, a British soldier, Lee Rigby, was murdered by two assailants. One of whom, Michael Adebolajo, had claimed Rigby's death was brought on because Muslims are dying at the hands of 'British soldiers.' Since the attack, several mosques and Islamic community centers have been vandalized.
The British Home Office has the right to deny entrance to any non-UK citizens who engage in 'unacceptable behaviours.'
Judging from Geller's work with Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, SIOA and other anti-Islam establishments, it seemed the Office had probable cause to deny Geller entry.
Geller has been criticized by many left-wing Jewish groups for her radical views.

"Fragment of the Head of a Queen makes it clear why Cate Marvin is becoming one of our essential poets."-Rodney Jones
Cate Marvin's new poems, their wrought music, unblinking focus, and hard-edged sensuality, are wreathed with an entirely different silence than her first collection. The brokenness and loss of the fragmented queen-seeming to rise up through centuries-is their tutelary spirit.
Cate Marvin is the author of World's Tallest Disaster, awarded the 2000 Kathryn A. Morton Prize by Robert Pinsky and the Kate Tufts Discovery Award (2002). She teaches creative writing in Staten Island, New York.

MLGW takes customer service seriously
Being ranked last out of 90 companies in J.D. Power and Associates survey prompts utility to evaluate areas where changes need to be made
Recently, J.D. Power and Associates conducted a survey that ranked the nation's top electric utility companies based on responses from business customers. To our surprise and disappointment, Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division was ranked last of the 90 companies surveyed. This surprised us, since we made significant progress in the J.D. Power survey for residential customers last year.
While we are still assessing the areas where customers felt we fell short of their expectations, I assure you that we take these results very seriously.
It is our goal that we will be ranked at the top of all J.D. Power utility surveys by 2013. We are working to improve in four key areas:
-- Helping customers use less energy. We are taking steps to better educate our customers about how they can cut energy usage in their homes and control their costs. MLGW has created a series of online videos that show customers how to complete simple energy-efficient home improvement projects.
We also began Community Conservation Days, in which our employees go out to various locations in the community to educate customers about energy conservation and distribute energy-saving kits. In addition, our EnergySmart Workshops teach customers how to make simple energy-saving improvements to their homes.
Recently, the City Council approved a new MLGW rental ordinance that requires rental properties to meet minimum energy efficiency guidelines, which will result in savings for MLGW customers.
-- Improving customer service. The number of estimated bills was at an unacceptable level upon my arrival at the utility in 2007. One of my first goals was to implement new meter reading procedures that would increase the number of meters read each month and meter reading accuracy. As a result, the number of estimated bills is now at an all-time low. In addition, billing accuracy is well over 99 percent each month. Customers can help us get accurate meter readings by ensuring that their gates are unlocked and their pets are put away on the scheduled meter reading date. This date can be found on your bill.
We have also made dramatic improvements in our Customer Care Center. Our automated phone system is more customer-friendly and efficient. Many transactions can now be completed via the automated system. However, we also realize that some of our customers will want to talk to a live person. That is why we increased the staff in the call center and schedule more employees during peak call periods. It is our goal to answer the phone quickly and with a great attitude.
-- Improving reliability. MLGW customers have some of the most reliable utility service in the country. On average, our customers experience only 1.4 outages per year, and the average customer is out only 90 minutes. Those are impressive numbers considering the volatility of the weather in the Mid-South. Of course, there are areas of our service territory that experience outages more often due to various issues such as aging infrastructure. We have identified those customers and are working hard to improve reliability in those areas.
In the past year, we reallocated our resources in an effort to reduce the number of service maintenance tickets. We placed more people and resources into areas that had the highest number of maintenance tickets. By redeploying our employees and strengthening our resourcefulness, we've reduced the number of outstanding maintenances by more than 1,300 in a single year.
-- Keeping rates low. MLGW has also taken a stance to protect customers from higher energy costs. We were the only TVA distributor to speak out against the large TVA rate increase last fall, and we are traveling with other utility representatives this month to ask for federal assistance in paying for cleanup of the TVA ash spill at Kingston, Tenn. Federal assistance could spare MLGW customers from helping to foot the bill for the cleanup.
It is my goal that MLGW does what is in the best interest of our customers as a whole. That means our focus is on our customers and how MLGW can help to improve their quality of life. Many of our customers know that MLGW has some of the lowest rates in the nation. However, Memphis has some of the highest electric consumption in the nation.
What that means is that we have to take a more aggressive approach in educating our customers about energy usage -- specifically, how to reduce their consumption and lower their rates. If we can educate customers and get them to use less energy, and couple that with outstanding customer service and reliable delivery of utilities, we can once again top the J.D. Power rankings. We want you to be proud of MLGW.

Oct 24, 2013GTA V fulfills the idea of a gaming sandbox, where you can entertain yourself in many different ways - and also experience a superbly written story of three gangsters, if you want. [Issue#234]
Sep 16, 2013GTA5 does much more than repeat the San Andreas model, introducing many new features in the franchise. From those, the one that adds a whole new dimension to the game is the fact that for the first time we have three main characters instead of one. GTA is the king of controversy... long live the king.
Sep 16, 2013Rockstar shows one more time how to build a masterpiece. GTA V is not perfect but has everything you'll ever dream in a sandbox game. San Andreas is gorgeous and full of life, Trevor, Michael and Franklin are a trio full of charisma and the game simply raises the bar in so many aspects you won't believe that it runs on an eight years old hardware. It's worth your money, it's worth you time.
Sep 22, 2013Marrying gameplay brilliance to compelling characters and a world matched only in size by the number of things you can do in it, Grand Theft Auto V is a masterpiece--one of the greatest games ever made.
Sep 16, 2013San Andreas is vast and sprawling and so much fun to explore. There are thousands of things to do and hundreds of missions, so this will not be a quick playthrough.
Sep 19, 2013Grand Theft Auto V is a gargantuan accomplishment, with an emphasis on the word "gargantuan." It may still have an assortment of inconsistencies, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities, but one could argue that such missteps still give this franchise a singular character.
Oct 7, 2013Grand Theft Auto 5 is easily more likable than its predecessor, striking a better, more consistent tone than GTA4. Whereas Liberty City shifted jarringly from dire seriousness to slapstick, GTA5 is largely a purely fun, interweaving story of reluctant friendship amid shady activities.

I played a lot of games with a lot of hype built around it, and I'd say this is the first game toPerfect Game for the Current Generation.
I played a lot of games with a lot of hype built around it, and I'd say this is the first game to truly exceed my extremely high expectations! Everything R* tried to accomplish, they hit a bullseye with. The scope of Los Santos is the largest of any game made, period. The world is full of possibilities and things to do, unlike GTA IV, and it is endlessly fun like GTA San Andreas. The characters are the most developed and interesting in this one than all of GTA (Next to Niko Bellic). The story has some of the best set pieces and hilarious interactions, seriously, this is one of the funniest games I've ever played. Playing the game is exhillieratingly fun and Epic, everything feels refined and realistic such as the Car driving which is now completely enjoyable.
The score is brilliant, graphics breathtaking, gameplay over the top ridiculously fun and the amount of hours you spend on the game just flys by. This is not only my favourite in the GTA franchise, but one of my favourite games of all time.
You done it again Rockstar Games, job well done!… Expand
Sep 18, 2013Grand Theft Auto has definitely gone back to some of it's roots with this addition. I never thought the day would come when we would have thisGrand Theft Auto has definitely gone back to some of it's roots with this addition. I never thought the day would come when we would have this game in our hands, but my it's finally here.
R* are the sole developers I trust and have blind faith in to make a good game and Grand Theft Auto V is exceptional. The more you play, the deeper you get into the story, the more features you unlock, the more you realize just how much time and effort R* put into it. And it paid off. The world feels alive, the characters are very enjoyable and will make you laugh over and over again.
And this isn't even it, when Grand Theft Auto: Online launches on October 1st, it will push boundaries even more. The more I play single player, the more I want to play GTA: Online, which I never thought would happen as I am more of a single player type of guy and enjoy making my own fun.
R* have hit it out of the park with this game and it's sad that PC gamers come into this thread and give the game a negative review just because it's not on PC yet. It will come, I game mainly on PC and I definitely want it on PC. The fact that people come on here just to write a negative review because it isn't on a platform is exactly what proves just how badly you want this game.
R* I bow before you. Grand Theft Auto V lived up the hype and even exceeded it.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013Another Rockstar game and yet another masterpiece. For a game of this magnitude Rockstar have really pushed the boat out on this one,Another Rockstar game and yet another masterpiece. For a game of this magnitude Rockstar have really pushed the boat out on this one, considering we are now around the 7 year console life cycle you will be amazed in how far they have come not only for a GTA title in itself but for also how amazing it looks and feels on an 7 year old piece of hardware.
Despite the phenomenal graphical technical achievements, the game play has also vastly improved over it's predecessors; Thanks to Max Payne 3 they were able to implement the gun mechanics and now the gun shooting is so fluid and responsive which makes a big deal in a big open world crime game. The driving has also been vastly improved; now I know there is a lot of complaints regarding the driving but in my opinion it's definitely a lot tighter and is a lot more enjoyable and fun to drive compared to GTA IV. The activities are more diverse this time, (respectfully because of the huge diverse open world) ranging from parachuting to jet skiing, playing golf to hunting. There is so much to do, you will easily clock a 100hrs maybe even more you will just have to let your imagination run wild.
However as with any GTA title the story is what the core of the game is all about and I gotta say this is by far the best story/plot in any GTA game ever produced. The missions are so enjoyable to play and they actually make sense now as oppose to some of the mindless pointless missions in GTA IV. There was not a single mission where I was bored and it's very cool to see a lot of references to films of what the missions were based on. The story length might be a little shorter compared to previous GTA titles but I take quality over quantity any day.
All we can wait for now is GTA: Online and I have no doubt that will also be equally as awesome if not better.

Feb 11, 2014What a game. The plot is captivating, the gameplay is perfect.
GTA V was massively hyped, and it's definitely lived up to everyone'sWhat a game. The plot is captivating, the gameplay is perfect.
GTA V was massively hyped, and it's definitely lived up to everyone's expectation. From the first mission to the end, I couldn't fault the execution of both the storyline and the game itself. Switching between the three characters is flawless. The shooting mechanics are vastly improved from GTA IV. The graphics are beautiful. Los Santos is massive. You will not get bored playing this game. For a game this ambitious there are very few glitches, which is amazing considering the seven year old hardware it is running on.
The only reason I haven't scored this game a perfect ten is because of the online mode. The missions are great, but they become quite repetitive after a while. With many online experiences, it is ruined by the poor servers. The online experience is better now than it was at launch, but it is still difficult to connect to a server a lot of the time.
However, the offline mode is full of things to do. Main story missions, side missions, tennis, darts, golf, flying lessons, street races - quite simply, the game is packed with great activities. Making Trevor Phillips look as much of a hobo as possible is quite fun too!
You can get this game at a good price now so if you haven't played it yet, what are you waiting for? I can't wait for a potential PS4 version - it'll look ace.… Expand
Oct 20, 2013Urban Skyrim is great fun and it's huge.
All hype and lore aside, it's a great game with plenty of activities to offer. It certainly hasUrban Skyrim is great fun and it's huge.
All hype and lore aside, it's a great game with plenty of activities to offer. It certainly has the mobius operand of a GTA game, but picked up a few things from Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, and Max Payne. If you are a fan of either Rockstar games or sandbox games there's certainly plenty of fun to be had.
Contrary to popular belief, it does have its issues. The most obvious is GTA Online which is a hot mess for the time being; when it isn't freezing or bugging out it can become a glitchers' and griefers' paradise with little to contribute. It'll be difficult to evaluate until it actually works as intended and by then interest may have waned. Story mode is engaging enough, but the three anti-heroes suffer due to the supporting characters; rarely do they do much more for the trio than advance the story and, save a few, they are difficult to care about. This seems like a missed opportunity to reinforce the depth of the contrast among the three main characters and form a more coherent main arc, especially when so much work went into generating a vast library of dialogue.
Some odd choices made in regards to controls. First, the omission of shoulder switch; leaving out a mechanic so ubiquitous to third-person gunplay feels odd, and cover suffers as a result. Speaking of cover, the surface that you're going to "stick" to can be unpredictable and sometimes comedic. The stealth mechanic is barebones and feels out of place, but isn't intrusive to the combat. Stealth as it relates to losing the cops is a nice touch, but also a bit under-realized as the cops sometimes seem clairvoyant when they shouldn't have line of site.
Overall, an excellent realization of a city-based sandbox with plenty of fun things to do and all the tools you need to dig into it. Story mode is plentiful although weakly framed. Online seems to be well conceived, but thus far poorly implemented.… Expand

When asked what Del Gallo would like to change if elected besides taxes, he said that he would like to wait until he is in office so that he can really see what's going on, pinpoint problems and correct them.
"It's like this: If I'm driving down a road and my truck breaks down, I call a mechanic in. He looks under the hood and he tells me what's wrong with it," said Del Gallo.
"Until I get into town and I'm elected as supervisor, I can tell you what's wrong but I can't tell you how to fix it," said Del Gallo.
Another issue Del Gallo has is the lack of transparency with the current administration and the way residents are treated by town employees.
"Say you walk into my store and I mistreat you. Would you come back?" asked Del Gallo.
Del Gallo lives in town with his wife, Roxann. His two children, Christina and Michael, as well as a grandson, Francisco, also live in Rotterdam. He owns Del Gallo Pools and Spas, located on Mariaville Road.
Del Gallo said he looks forward to the coming election and debating the issues.
Del Gallo will be facing incumbent supervisor Tommasone in the fall election. Tommasone started as a councilman in 2003 and ran successfully for supervisor in 2005 and has held the position ever since. He will be running for his third term.
"As far as Steve goes, Rotterdam, out of all the towns in the county, has the lowest taxes, and under GOP rule we haven't raised taxes like the Democrats have at the county level or in the city," said Tom Buchanan, head of the Schenectady County GOP. "It's really a testament of the fiscal management that the Republican Party offers, and we hope that Steve will do extremely well in the election. He's very popular."
Tommasone was unavailable to comment.""

Icebreaking near Thunder Bay has stopped half-a-day after it began.
The ships Morro Bay and Katmai Bay started breaking up ice Thursday morning, but mechanical failure on the Morro Bay forced the two ships to head back to Duluth by the afternoon.
Thunder Bay Port Authority engineering director and harbour master Guy Jarvis said the ice is 28 inches thick, making for a difficult time.
"It's very hard and challenging. It may be a contributing factor to (Morro Bay's) current condition," he said.
It may delay the arrival of larger icebreakers like the US Coast Gaurd's Alder, as larger ships need smaller tugs to accompany them into the bay.
Heavier breakers are now expected around Tuesday.

The retail area manager oversees and directs other employees, typically in one section or department of the retail store. This professional handles a number of managerial responsibilities, such as directing workers to perform tasks, assigning individuals to specific areas of the retail space, training new hires, holding interviews for prospective workers, and providing feedback and help for employees as needed. The retail area manager is also responsible for ensuring work in their area of responsibility is completed efficiently, as well as implementing new procedures or methods to increase productivity. They generally reports to the store manager, although they may report to the general manager on occasion (such as a biweekly or monthly basis) to report on how the store is doing, improvements being made, and suggestions for future growth. The retail area manager may be promoted to the store manager, and then further promoted to regional manager, based on performance and how long the employee has been with the company.Read More...
Generally, the retail area manager position requires a bachelor's degree in business administration or a similar field, although some companies do not require a postsecondary degree. Most companies require at least two years of experience in retail logistics or store management. The retail area manager is required to stand for long periods of time, and the position may also require occasionally lifting heavy objects such as boxes and merchandise.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Advancing into a Retail District Manager role seems to be a popular career move for Retail Area Managers, and folks who currently work in the latter position report a notably larger median income of $70K per year. As Retail Area Managers progress in their field, many go on to become Retail Store Assistant Managers. In fact, this transition is more common than anything else, and median pay for the role is $32K. Another common career choice for Retail Area Managers is to move into an Operations Manager role — this promotion usually pays $59K.
Retail Area Managers report using a wide range of professional skills. Fortunate workers who know Team Leadership command much higher paychecks, scoring salaries 49 percent above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Customer Service, Merchandising, and People Management. Competency in Customer Service frequently indicates knowledge of Sales Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Retail Area Managers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience have a median salary of $50K. Those who have been around for five to 10 years can expect to take home more — $54K on average. Retail Area Managers see a median salary of $59K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Retail Area Managers with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are no higher than those with 10 to 20 years on the job.

Questions on Nammatj 3
No questions asked yet
Ask Your Own QuestionBack to the product page
Hilleberg - Nammatj 3
Quick OverviewA true all-around tent for altitudes high and low
- Description
The Hilleberg Nammatj 3 is one of the toughest lightweight tents you can find. It handles easily in all conditions, and it defies any weather, season and environment. If you appreciate performance, stability, and low weight you will see this as an ideal tent; able to stand up to the rigors of the weather at high altitudes, and fits nicely on narrow ledges. The fabric used in the Nammatj is the finest available: Kerlon 1800 with an unparalleled tear strength six times that of ordinary tent fabrics. The Nammatj provides great performance and longevity. The Nammatj is first on the list with adventurous people who put the most extreme demands on their equipment. This tent has been used numerous times in the Himalayas, in Greenland, in the Andes, and in the polar areas. As a low weight tent, Nammatj exceeds expectations that are usually reserved for much heavier tents. One striking example of its performance is Sweden's Ola Skinnarmo´s solo ski expedition to the South Pole with a Nammatj 2. The 3 equally long poles, adjustable pole holders, and peg loops make pitching this tent child´s play. Inner and outer tent are linked, protecting the inner against rain when it is being pitched in unfavorable conditions. Four pegs are enough to pitch a Nammatj. The inner tent can easily be detached and moved back if you need a larger vestibule. By carrying the outer on its own you can create a very light shelter for several people. The inner can be used separately if conditions permit. All you need are two pole holders per pole and guy-lines.
