Pros: location and a helpful staff
Cons: golf course was in disarray save for a few holes.
Location: eating and shopping in St Armand's square
The resort was beautiful, with a friendly staff and great location. The beach is pristine for the sun worshippers and the resort provides many rental options for those requiring more energetic distraction. Located so near St Armand's, restaurants and shopping are a short trip away.

very disappointing, grossly overpricedPosted Jun 8, 2015
I stayed twice in the past 10 days. Lagoon view buildings are tacky. Toiletries weren't replaced from 1 day to another. Toothbrush glasses were left dirty. 2nd time we checked in late, no one led us to our building which was difficult to find in the dark. I had 2 more reservations made for June and July and I cancelled them for the Ritz Carlton

Love this clock! Elaine from San Diego, CA on 07/10/2015 – Verified Buyer
This clock suits my décor perfectly, and was exactly what I was looking for to accent the wall above an antique secretary desk that I have in my living room. As in other reviews that I read about this product, I found the body to be sturdy, with the hands a bit flimsy in comparison. However, since the hands are not going to be touched, this isn't an issue in my opinion. I was disappointed in the color of the pendulum, which is actually a bright brassy color that somehow manages to clash with the other colors on the clock. It looks cheap on it's own, much like the bottom of a tin can painted in bright gold. However, once installed it doesn't look bad, and I will take the advise I read in other reviews and paint the pendulum to better suit the overall appearance. I do like the larger base for the hanging bracket, which makes the clock rest solidly against the wall. Overall very happy with my purchase. Pros: Great value, beautiful piece, exactly as pictured not withstanding the pendulum Cons: Pendulum is cheaply made and looks it, horrible color that needs to be repainted
Large Wall Clock Laura from Hillsboro, IL on 10/29/2014 – Verified Buyer
I have been looking for a wall clock for a while. I wanted a large clock to go above the fireplace. This clock is perfect. It looks really great on the wall. It catches your eye as you enter the room. It was exactly what I expected it would be from the description and how it looked online. The quality of the product is good. It doesn't look cheap or inexpensive. For the money which is a lot less than other clocks I have priced, this clock is well worth the price. I am very pleased with the clock and with Wayfair!
Impressive Jean from Forest Hill, MD on 07/21/2015 – Verified Buyer
Matches product description, but I think when you see this clock in person, you will find that the photo and description doesn't do it justice. This is in our family room where we needed a big, old looking, rustic clock. Fit the bill perfectly. The size was accurate, keeps perfect time. The distressed look and varying shades of tan and brown, mixed with the black go beautifully on my medium tan wall. The best and coolest part of the clock is the swinging pendulum. The noise it makes is barely audible. One of the oldest, worn looking, beaten up, Coolest clocks I've ever seen, especially at this price. A real steal. Love it. Pros: Great value, quality product, description is accurate, beautiful Cons: None
dramatic wall piece Joan from Lancaster, PA on 05/13/2015 – Verified Buyer
The pendulum actually swings! But all the parts besides the backboard itself seem cheap and fragile, especially the hands. There is no protective face. Had difficulty getting the battery into its spot because a metal piece seemed to be twisted somehow. Clock parts and pendulum arm are all minimal and plastic...not very reassuring! At any rate, it was true to the picture online...I guess what you see is what you get! Considering the fragile parts, I'm concluding that I paid too much. Pros: will fit well with the room colors and is eye-catching Cons: various cheap, fragile parts; over-priced
Almost perfect! Melissa from Baldwinsville, NY on 05/13/2015 – Verified Buyer
This clock was almost perfect. The only complaint i have is that the pendulum looks and feels exactly like the top of a soup can, right down to the double rings around the perimeter of the can lid, and the color. The color is a burnished gold color which doesnt really go with the clock in my opinion. I painted it black and it looks great! Other than that, i love everything about the clock.

Children given gift of scenic flight
Relevant offers
Eight Alexandra children received a special early Christmas present yesterday when they were taken on a flight above their town and Clyde.
Fly Alexandra pilot Nick Taylor said that with the help of a donation from Commercial and Rural Insurance he was able to give eight children a Christmas present they would not forget.
"It's great to give some children a Christmas present they might never have," Mr Taylor said.
It was also his chance to give back to the community and introduce children to flying, he said.
Mr Taylor flew the Central Otago Flying Club's plane, a Cessna 172.
"They are like a Volkswagen [car] with wings," Mr Taylor said.
Alexandra community liaison officer Raewyn Cockrane said it was the second year in a row the gift of a flight had been offered.
"It's a fun thing to give kids the experience. Without Nick it would not be possible," she said.
Sarah Taal, 16, of Alexandra, who had never been in a plane before, said it was fun to see the sights from the sky.
"You go really far, really fast compared to car travel," Sarah said.

After the Party: Corruption, the ANC and South Africa's Uncertain Futureby Andrew Feinstein
View All Available Formats & Editions
South Africa's Watergate – widespread corruption at the highest levels of the ANC.See more details below
South Africa's Watergate – widespread corruption at the highest levels of the ANC.
Editorial Reviews
"For those contemplating a first journey into the murky world of South African politics, there can be few better guides than Andrew Feinstein. This book by the lawyerly figure who would come to be known as the ANC's 'Mr Clean' ... charts a giddy ascent from political newcomer to euphoric MP and on to disillusioned critic and exile."—Independent
"With wrenching anger and painstaking care, Feinstein's new book describes how graft has infected [South Africa's] new establishment."—The Economist
"Essential reading."—Financial Times
"A searing close-up portrait of the corrupting force of power."—The Los Angeles Times
"This important and brave book illustrates the extent to which South Africa's multibillion-dollar arms deal has undermined the rule of law, accountability and constitutionality in the country. It provides compelling evidence the corruption linked to the deal and the mishandling of the AIDS pandemic marked the point at which our young democracy lost its moral compass. It also speaks to the virtues of transparent, accountable politics of principle that is needed in South Africa and so much of the world."—Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Feinstein, a former member of parliament for the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's ruling party since 1994, and a frequent political commentator, delivers a detailed and very personal account of the key groups and players inside (and outside) the ANC in the fight against apartheid and for democratic elections in South Africa. Both memoir and historical account, this book is a challenging read in the best meaning of the phrase, inviting readers to look at a very difficult topic through the experiences of a man who was there. While Feinstein's descriptions of poverty, segregation, and racism will be familiar, American readers might just learn something about the concept of apartheid and its effect on South Africa and its diverse population. Feinstein, himself a Caucasian Jew, tells of not voting in any election (even though he had the right) until 1994, when voting was integrated and Nelson Mandela became South Africa's first democratically elected president. The book focuses on the time from Mandela's election to the ANC's splintering, the author's resignation from the party, and his emigration to London. With notes and a very helpful list of abbreviations; readers with some knowledge of South Africa will especially appreciate this book.

"Each of the four episodes so far contained scenes that left audiences buzzing and you can add the end of "Oathkeeper" to that list. Quite the finish to a slow but solid installment. "
Game of Thrones: Season 4 - Breaker of Chains (TV Episode)
"The third episode was another well-crafted, and very difficult, installment that not only picked up all the pieces of the 'Purple Wedding' but seamlessly wove the other locations into the fold. "
Game of Thrones: Season 4 - The Lion and the Rose (TV Episode)
"After that reenactment of the "War of the Five Kings," everyone in that room but his mother wanted him dead. That sequence is one of the finest I've ever watched on the small-screen. With every cut you could feel the shot's subject seething. "
Game of Thrones: Season 4 - Two Swords (TV Episode)
"It feels like forever since the last episode of Game of Thrones, but the premiere, "Two Swords," was well worth the wait. A stellar start to the fourth season. "
The Babadook (2014)
"The Babadook is easily the best horror film of 2014. But bolstered by knockout performances, and a mind-bending narrative beautifully shot and colored, The Babadook is so much more. It's one of the best films of the year. "
Snowpiercer (2014)
"This is a dark, but deeply beautiful movie, punctuated by edge-of-your-seat thrills and unexpected laughs. "
A Most Violent Year (2015)
"A tremendously powerful performance at its center from an incredibly talented actor truly brings A Most Violent Year alive, and makes it a film to remember. "
Unbroken (2014)
"A difficult drama to endure. ... But those who choose to take this trip with Jolie will be rewarded by a handsome, harrowing Hollywood tribute. "
The Gambler (2014)
"Its central flaw of having an unwatchable protagonist is simply too massive to ignore, and sours everything that comes as an extension of it. "
Ask Me Anything (2014)
"Suffers from a limp story, but banks on good actors trying to make the best of the hand they've been dealt. "
American Sniper (2015)
"Clint Eastwood's best film in years - though it should be noted that we can claim this because recent films like Jersey Boys, J. Edgar, Hereafter, Invictus and Gran Torino have been mediocre disappointments. "
Into the Woods (2014)
"Fine family fun, as you'd expect from Disney, [that] dishes out some spectacular song numbers, heart-lifting performances, and even some belly laughs. "
"Minor griping aside, The Hobbit: The Battle Of Five Armies is a success that brings the Tolkien Estate's film dealings with Peter Jackson to a triumphant close. "
"Manages to end the film with an emotional finale that closes out the series in a bittersweet manner. "
Marco Polo: Season 1 (TV, 2014)
"Best part of Marco Polo? When someone calls Marco's full name out, and it sounds like someone is playing the swimming pool game. A game, incidentally, that is a more enjoyable time than this show. "
Inherent Vice (2015)
"So entertaining and deeply satisfying that you're immediately struck with the desire to reenter the world as soon as the movie ends. "
Annie (2014)
"Despite having its heart in the right place, Annie ultimately dissolves into a clich�d mess. "
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)
"It's a cinematic giraffe, both awkward and overreaching. "
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
"There's nothing small about Scott's effort (including its mistakes), but if you bought a ticket searching for eye-popping Old Testament spectacle written on the largest piece of digital parchment, then Scott delivers you to your Promised Land. "
Top Five (2014)
"A relentlessly filthy and unbearably entertaining crowd-pleaser that actually needs to be seen in a theater with a lathered-up group. "
Wild (2014)
"An emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual tour de force for leading actress Reese Witherspoon. "
The Secret World of Arrietty (2012)
"The Secret World of Arrietty is a nice piece of kiddy fluff, but it's a beautiful, well-told piece of kiddy fluff. "
"Delivering humor, heart and a toy-filled adventure, Toy Story that Time Forgot is another wonderful, entertaining and playful installment to the Toy Story franchise. "
Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)
"Belongs to that rare collection of comedy sequels that are as good, if not slightly better, than their successful predecessors. "
"A surreal thriller that is sometimes creepy, sometimes sweet, but consistently spellbinding. "
Bad Turn Worse (2014)
"A shambles of stereotypes and predictable plot points. ... However, there's something special and almost good in Bad Turn Worse. "
Foxcatcher (2014)
"A beautiful, deep, psychological thriller that comes together with fantastic performances. "
Beyond the Lights (2014)
"A great display of Gugu Mbatha-Raw's range, but sadly, it's a mediocre movie. "
Rosewater (2014)
"Without that smile and wink that Stewart as a TV personality is so known for, the film feels a bit too much like a well-intentioned but dry civics lesson. "
Dumb and Dumber To (2014)
"Too much time is dedicated to both bad jokes and funny jokes that are allowed to overstay their welcome and ultimately implode. "
"Finds its success in meaningful themes, character-driven story, and smart execution, and ultimately creates some impressive depth for the phenomenon franchise. "
Why Don't You Play in Hell? (2014)
"What Hell has in spades, though, is a manic energy that's becoming the calling card of Sono's filmography. "
The Theory of Everything (2014)
"An intelligent love story that touches the heart by exploring the sacrifices both parties made to cope with Stephen Hawking's debilitating disease. "
Big Hero 6 (2014)
"A surprising step down from the filmmakers who brought us the magic of recent titles like Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen. "
Interstellar (2014)
"Nolan's aesthetically beautiful, large-scale sci-fi drama is admirable in its ideas and style, but lacking in its storytelling and execution. "
"All in all, it is intriguing exercise in social criticism. But it's an unpopular message delivered in an unbearable execution. "
Constantine: Season 1 (TV, 2014)
"Most importantly, they got the tone right. Marshall managed to create a creepy yet cheeky atmosphere, walking the fine line that is 'fun horror' as well as leaving a terrific template for the other directors to follow. "
Laggies (2014)
"The latest contemporary comedy to tap into the lighter side of Keira Knightley. For that reason alone, it's worth seeing. "
Ouija (2014)
"A lackluster teen scream pic. A satisfyingly scary movie could be made from a Ouija board's inspiration. But this one isn't it. "
Revenge of the Green Dragons (2014)
"An undercooked crime-drama that feels like a pale imitation of the movies that clearly inspired it. "
John Wick (2014)
" A badass, stylish piece of genre filmmaking. But it's also a kick-ass 65-minute story banging around in a 96-minute package. "
Camp X-Ray (2014)
"These two onscreen together seems ludicrous at first glance. But like their characters, they create something powerful and rewarding. "
Big Driver (2015)
"It's a powerful film - not because its story of a vengeful female will shine a light on social injustices, but simply because it grips viewers and doesn't let go until the credits are rolling. Maria Bello is a pain-stricken wonder. "
The Best Of Me (2014)
"Predictability is The Best of Me's greatest sin. The screenplay might has well have been a game of Mad Libs, where plot devices are lifted straight out of previous Sparks books and shoehorned into this bland narrative. "
The Book of Life (2014)
"What it lacks in awe-inspiring artistry, it makes up for in energy. "
The Orphanage (2007)
"Though The Orphanage sticks fairly closely to a genre fomat, and the plot twists become a little predictable, the film packs surprises all the way to the end. "
The Affair: Season 1 (TV, 2014)
"The Affair's opening episode asks more questions than it answers, but it explores a side of cognitive behavior and unreliable narratives in ways that are new and novel for TV. "
Birdman (2014)
"It's an ambitious and beautifully executed experiment. It's a technical wonder that will be examined for decades to come. Above else, it's a hell of a good time. "

Chavo says he and Hernandez object to the statements they are making about the champions of TNA. Aries says he objects to their objecting to his objections and calls them wedding caterers. Chavo & Hernandez attack them and Hernandez goes for a powerbomb on Aries but Roode pulls him out. The wedding is Next for real this time.
- Hogan shows Sting a picture of him and Brooke as a kid and tells him this is what he's been trying to protect his whole life. He says this isn't about Bully, he knows how this movie ends. Sting says that he agrees and that this business has jaded them. Sting says that maybe Hogan raised Brooke so well that she can see something in Bully that he is too blind to see. Sting says Hogan must walk Brooke down the aisle. Hogan says it's been a long day and he's going to pack his stuff and get out of here. But he says he always does the right thing for his family and the business.
- We go to the ring as Bully Ray comes out in his tuxedo grinning from ear-to-ear. Tommy Dreamer comes out with Miss Tessmacher. Spike Dudley comes out with Mickie James. Taz comes out with Christy Hemme. We go to commercial: Will Hogan walk Brooke to the ring?
We're back as the bridal music hits and Bully smiles toward the entrance. Brooke appears by herself and looks behind her a couple of times and keeps walking. Hogan appears from the side to cheers and chants. Hulk and Brooke walk arm-in-arm toward the ring. Hogan looks over at Bully and we can hear Bully saying thank you and nodding from the wide-shot. The crowd chants 'Shake his hand.' The pastor starts to do his thing. He asks who presents this woman and Hogan says he does and gives Brooke's hand to Mark. It's odd to see Bully smiling. It's time for the vows. Brooke can't believe she's doing this in the middle of a wrestling ring and says she can't imagine her life without him and says she love him.
Bully says he tried to write something down but she deserves words from the heart. We see Hogan peering in the background. Bully says he knew from the moment he saw Brooke that she was the one. He says she makes him happy. The pastor asks if anyone has an objection. Taz and Christy hand over the rings and Brooke says, 'I do.' Mark says, 'I do' with 'Yes' chants from the crowd. The pastor goes to pronounce them but Taz grabs the mic from him and says he has two questions. He asks if Bully's sure he wants to do this. He says the second question he has is, 'Is it just me or is it freakin' hot in here?' Taz removes his jacket to reveal an Aces & 8's vest.
Aces & 8's rushes the ring and beats down everybody. They are out in full force; Knox and Doc hold Brooke and make her watch her dad and Bully being beaten. Devon hits Bully in the head with one of the pillars from the set. Aces & 8's disappears. Brooke goes to check on her dad and he says to go check on Bully as the entire male wedding party, including Sting, is laid out in the ring and we go off the air.

Cowboys Face Uncertainty With Shaky Defense
IRVING (AP) – The Dallas defense is still missing starters halfway through the preseason and will lose cornerback Orlando Scandrick for the first four games of the regular season because of a drug suspension.
The uncertainty isn't helping a unit trying to replace its two best players after a dismal 2013 showing.
Coach Jason Garrett says the Cowboys "have to live with the reality" of starting the season without Scandrick and the uncertainty surrounding other key pieces.
Brandon Carr should play for the first time this preseason at Miami on Saturday night. Fellow cornerback Morris Claiborne's outlook isn't as clear because of a shoulder problem, and newcomers Henry Melton and Terrell McClain aren't likely to play at defensive tackle because of injuries.

Studs Terkel: Weekly Standard ridicules celebration of his birthday
The literary life just doesn't get any better than this. Admirers of Studs are encouraged to gather in independent bookstores (no chains, please), credit cards in hand, and let the good times roll. You can hear what famous intellectuals think of Studs ("An American treasure"--Cornel West), order free Studs Terkel posters, mix Studs's recipe for gin martinis, listen to Studs's favorite music ("Potato Head Blues"--Louis Armstrong), order a pair of Studs-style red socks ($4.99 plus shipping), and add your voice to celebrity tributes ("Still fighting the good fight"--Victor Navasky).
Best of all, the New Press has chartered a skywriter to fly over Chicago, Studs's adopted hometown, during lunch hour with this message: "Happy 95th B-Day Studs Terkel."
Now, THE SCRAPBOOK enjoys a good party as much as anyone, especially at an independent bookstore, and we like "Potato Head Blues," too. But does a bilious radio DJ who turns a tape recorder on and off, and hires somebody to type up the transcripts, qualify as a "historian," even an "oral" historian? And while we're impressed by Studs's longevity, and love skywriting, it's worth pointing out that 74 of those 95 years were spent extolling the virtues of the Soviet Union, in print and on the air, at the expense of Studs's native country.
No wonder Studs Terkel has won the George Polk Career Award--named in honor of another media icon whose fraudulent past was exposed in the pages of this magazine.

If you're nodding your head in agreement to any of my keyboard obsessiveness, I think Kensington has a good solution for all of us. I found their SlimType Keyboard for Mac at a CompUSA last weekend, and wow did it feel like my PowerBook. Its layout is slightly different from both a PowerBook and standard Apple desktop keyboard, as the Home/End and Page Up/Down keys are lined vertically on the right of the Delete/Return side of the keyboard, but its keys have the same low rate of travel and a very similar, solid feel. I haven't grabbed one yet, but they retail for $40, and some of the online retailers that Kensington's product site link are selling it for as low as $30.
If you pick one up or already own one, feel free to sound off with your thoughts.

Find out who REALLY wrote the Bible in Luling seminar
January 10, 2007 at 3:33 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
What are the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Gnostic Gospels? What are the earliest copies of the Bible?
The study series will be held at Holy Family Life Center, 155 Holy Family Lane, in Luling.
Dates: January 17th, 24th, & 31st. Times: 7:00 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. each night.Where does the Bible come from and how do we know Scripture is reliably Gods word?
Famed Bible expert Dr. Brant Pitre will explain all that and more in a dynamic three-part bible study in Luling - and youre invited.
Its a topic that Ive always wanted to address, says the internationally recognized speaker who received his doctorate in theology from the University of Notre Dame.
In recent years the news media has made a big deal of what theyre referring to as the Lost Gospels of Judas and Thomas and the Dead Sea Scrolls, adds Pitre, who lives in Destrehan with his wife and three children.
In fact, National Geographic just aired a documentary calling the Dead Sea Scrolls one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.
The documentary went on to describe them as lost chronicles from divergent Christian groups in Jesus time that Church leaders chose not to include in the Bible.
During the first centuries after the birth of Christ, the documentary continued, in a shifting political environment, church leaders shaped the New Testament around four Gospels.
In recent years, long-lost chronicles have been found - chronicles that were hidden during those turbulent times.
Such manuscripts describe a world of ideas that has been lost to us for nearly 1,700 years.
Pitre, who specialized in the study of the New Testament and ancient Judaism while in college, is well equipped to address questions raised by National Geographic and others about the lost Gospels.
A lot of people just want to know: What are these lost Gospels, who wrote them, when were they written and should they be in the Bible too? Im going to spend a whole night answering these questions, Pitre says.
Businesswoman Toni Landeche, of Luling, says Pitre is one of the few people that can take such a complicated subject and make it understandable. And he does it with a sense of humor, she says.
Pitres interest in the origin of the Bible started when he began dating his wife, Elizabeth.
I grew up Catholic and my wife was Baptist, he says. Protestant Bibles have 39 books in the Old Testament, while Catholic Bibles have 46 books.
The debate we got into was, Which of these was the real bible and why are there different versions of the Bible?
In order to answer that question you have to answer another, where does the Bible come from, anyway, and who decided which books got in and which did not?
Well address those questions. Therell be new stuff for anyone who comes whether they think they know everything or nothing.

Marvel Studios has plans to make a female superhero film to go along with its already established franchises including 'Iron Man' and 'Thor'.
Marvel will make a female superhero film.
The movie studio - which has enjoyed incredible success with 'Iron Man', 'Thor', 'Captain America' and 'The Avengers' - is hoping to release a comic book movie featuring a female protagonist, according to studio boss Kevin Feige.
Speaking at Entertainment Weekly's CapeTown Film Fest, he said: ''We have a number of candidates from the comics and from the movies we've already made. It's just a matter of finding the right storyline, the right filmmaker, the right time.''
Responding to a suggestion from the crowd for a She-Hulk movie, he said: ''She-Hulk would be pretty great.''
Thus far, Marvel has only introduced one crime-fighting femme fatale in its movies - Scarlett Johansson's S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, who played a pivotal role in 'Iron Man 2' and 'The Avengers', and will have a lead role in next year's 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.
Elsewhere, Feige denied that the studio will make a new Daredevil movie after rights to the character reverted back to Marvel.
20th Century Fox leased the rights to the blind superhero, releasing the critically panned 'Daredevil' starring Ben Affleck in 2003, but lost ownership last year.
Feige said: ''There comes a time in contracts where, if a studio is done making the movies, [the characters] come home. That doesn't mean we're going to make another movie. But it means they're back in the fold, which is where we want them to be.''
Writer-director Christopher McQuarrie brings a dark and gritty tone to this larger-than-life franchise.
Mike's current life revolves around his girlfriend, a healthy amount of weed and his job at the local cash & carry.

Rays claim Brandon Allen off waivers from A's
Apr 19, 2012, 3:15 PM EDT
When the A's designated Brandon Allen for assignment last week I wrote that based on his minor-league track record plenty of teams would be smart to snag him off waivers.
Sure enough a contending team did just that according to Allen's agent, who says the first baseman/corner outfielder was claimed by Tampa Bay.
Allen is a flawed player, striking out too much and offering little defensive value, and he's yet to experience any success in the majors. However, he's also still just 26 years old and has hit .286 with 59 homers and a .956 OPS in 253 games at Triple-A.
Tampa Bay and manager Joe Maddon are great at mixing and matching spare parts to magnify their usefulness, so it's a good landing spot for Allen assuming the Rays can find some room for his left-handed bat in the lineup.
- detroitfanatic - Apr 19, 2012 at 4:14 PM
Not a good fit for Tampa. He will be insurance for Pena and Scott, but won't sniff the Majors unless one of them ends up on the DL. He might take Vogt's spot today, but Vogt was going down when Upton returned anyways. The Rays need a lefty of the bench, but not a firstbaseman. They need a platoon for Rodriguez. Joyce, Zobrist (s), Pena, and Scott are all lefites, and there is no room for Allen.
- scatterbrian - Apr 19, 2012 at 5:23 PM
Still just 26, but 26 is kind of old for a dude in Allen's position. If you haven't broken through to the majors by 26, odds are you won't…or you won't last very long.
- mikeincmn - Apr 19, 2012 at 6:47 PM
Not a bad pick up for them in my eyes. Allen is obviously a very flawed player, but considering the Rays have nothing to lose here, I don't see the harm. Worst case scenario is he ends up being a bust for yet another club and is cut loose on waivers. Best case is he turns out to be like Carlos Pena who showed flashes, but didnt break through until later in his career and in Tampa.

Re-establishes the name of the other gender before the laws of subjugation became global
I read the rainbow
I read the rainbow from top to bottom the other day
After my wild tempestuous fray
With names
Seven lines of wisdom so clean
In an arc of reality for me to glean
The red caused me to look inside
To see the centre of my own true pride
The orange showed me the warmth of the earth
That nature's fire had brought to birth
The yellow framed a mainstay of trust
Around my mind's reasoning thrust
The green bid me to look outside
To grade the passion in my sapien stride
The sky-blue arc bid me to exalt
In my own name
Nature's grand and beautiful vault
As the indigo exposed in me the ferment of passion
Living deep in the well of my thinking fashion
The ultra violet arc of circumspection
Enlightened my feme mind
And the flower of my creative power
Burst open into a rainbow of its own
And as rainbow met rainbow
I danced and sang and celebrated life
As no fem had ever done before
Louise Gouëffic 1998

Giant Bombcast 07/28/2015
Become Premium to Watch
This re-release seems unnecessary at first glance, but the conclusion of Kratos' journey serves up a level of spectacle that remains impressive in 2015.
Her Story is a bold and largely successful experiment in interactive crime fiction.
Rocksteady's gorgeous-looking third Arkham game refines its open-world format a bit and lets you drive a whole hell of a lot of Batmobile.
Also I posted this and then it didn't appear in the forum, so bump! :D
I've just fought the Commander for the second time (the dude after you meet that woman, if there's multiple paths!) and the collision detection is totally random at times.
Basically there's only two instances you can do damage; either by going around him when he goes into a stance where he launches ranged attacks, or - I thought, at least - when he slams his shield down.
Except that it doesn't work all the time, he'll slam it down which does damage if you're within the shockwave, but then sometimes you can leap back in and thwack him if you get the timing right, before he stands back up. It's this animation where you definitely make connection with him from behind, but I don't necessarily think we're 'supposed to', because sometimes nothing will happen, and others you'll take a nice chunk of his health.
Have you guys found any other instances of this kind of thing, or maybe i hit upon some weird thing where equipment and weapon (Greataxe) combined to give me a weird no-hit glitch?
Here's a thought I just had today when doing a writeup on how bad some of the dialogue and interactions are - are we sure Joseph and Kidman are actually their real selves in their with Seb, and not just projections of how he assumes they'd be?
They seem completely un-phased by the events of the world itself, and are borderline nonchalant about the crazier things later on. The doctor mentions that each host contributes something to the world around them, with most of it being Ruvik - so what it Joseph and Kidman's totally random appearances just happen when Seb wills them into being?
I've just finished it and dunno about you guys but apart from the last 10 minutes or so when it went COMPLETELY insane, I actually really liked the slow-burn of wtf was actually going on.
In the end I think I understand - Ruvik's research created the machine, which the doctor took credit for, and all the machinations of the world itself were just twisted creations born from everyone's shared psyche, but mainly Ruviks?
Remaining questions would be:
- Wtf was up with the death of Castellano's kid? That felt like it was building to something and just didn't.
- What was Kidman's 'orders' throughout? In fact, wtf happened to Kidman, and was Joseph's death just that scattershot in the park area, in the city?
- Any idea wtf the box-headed dudes are? The multi-armed woman was Ruvik's sister I assume?
What did you guys make of it all? The only thing i think kicked me in the balls was the checkpointing, especially with a couple of the bosses.
Yeah, surprisingly, don't use the melee attack in a stealth game, and take your time advancing forward and you'll be fine! There's also plenty of environmental interaction to deal with enemies if you mess up.
Just heard the podcast and him complaining about how getting to Chapter 3 was 'painful' and to be honest I've breezed through it so far!
I also wanted to apologise for the potentially misleading post title, the 60 character limit wouldn't let me have 'Lack of overarching purpose in Nemesis System (Late game spoilers)! Obviously it's in the late game when the whole thing comes together! :D
So I've just finished SoM and LOVED it - apart from the weirdly rushed finale, but whatever!
Anyway I love the combat and the enemy designs, and the very idea of the Nemesis stuff, but like, what's the point in moving your dudes up the ranks? Sure at the end you're amassing an army so it makes sense to get the top tier under control, and if someone takes you out then finding intel and taking revenge is sweet too, but for the rest of it moving them up and down the tiers and interrupting things... I never really got any sense of why we're doing that?
They mention a lot about how not diving into the red-logo'd events around the map mean that low-ranking chaps will go up levels and get stronger, but does this actually effect anything really? You might have to do a little bit more to draw them out if they're at Warchief status, but if you could stealth kill a dude in one tier, you can do the same higher up.
As I say I've just finished and it's fun to mess around with this stuff on its own merits for the sake of video games, but I don't really have any endgame other than branding guys in high position just 'cause.
How much time have you guys put into messing around outside of missions, and what role do you feel like you're playing when reordering the various lines of orcs in the world?
Awesome thanks guys! The PS3 I'm gonna get is the Slim, not the 'Super Slim' with the sliding top, and I'm gonna get a pretty hefty one for the sake of future-proofing so like 250gb or something I'll see what they have in the store!
Thanks again, I'm gonna whack the hairdryer on and fry some circuits! I've checked my Sony account and I'm only active on the one PS3, so as long as I can get it online long enough to back up some saves i can just deactivate it later, as I don't think there's any downsides to losing the other installed stuff, right? :D
So after 7 years I've suffered the YLOD, but after speaking to Sony they won't replace the unit out of goodwill and instead want £110 sooo eff that!
Anyway the HDD is totally fine - i think - so I'm going to buy a new PS3, but I was wondering with the different models are there differences in hard drive sizes, and also I've read different things on the data itself being locked to by dead PS3? I'll still be able to log into my Sony account at the very least and re-download everything though surely?
Cheers!! And also if anyone tried the 'hair dryer fix' before (or any YLOD fix) and had it work, please let me know as I've nothing to lose any more! :D
Ah awesome so it's not just me!! Thanks everyone this was a huge help! :D My PS3 has just YLOD'd on me randomly, so it's a frying-pan-fire kinda day!! :D
Use your keyboard!

David Meerman Scott, a well-known marketing strategist, coined the term "newsjacking," which he describes as "the process by which you inject your ideas or angles into breaking news, in real-time, in order to generate media coverage for yourself or your business." The concept makes sense, and we all know that a great way to gain relevance online is by leveraging hot topics and news items that are beginning to trend-but it's a competitive, and fast-moving, field. How do content marketers stay on top of the relevant trends and news in their industries to ensure they're curating and communicating fresh, engaging content?

A little later, she returned to the stage to finish out the show, saying, ""I want to apologize if I'm rambling tonight, but not sure if you noticed, I hit my head earlier and I think I may have a concussion. Don't worry though; I'm going to finish the show."
