Effective at almost any needed task and the bulk of the army. You cannot fault 'em TIPS: Group Storm Troopers together with Dark Troopers in front for asaults in close quarter combat. Together they can overwhelm any enemy positions However, go easy on the grenades as the friendly fire will kill you and your team mates. TIP;rdbizzle1986: i usually aim to the head and fire in bursts not hold it down. especially for the stormtroopers whose blasts scatter a lot if it is held down making it hard to get a hit. ***Shock Trooper*** Equipment: Rocket Launcher Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonator Mines Pro's: -Effective weapon for vehicles and turrets. -Big splash damage radius -Mines can be useful for traps Con's -Mines very visible in some locations. -Slow reload time -Rocet launcher poor against aware singular opponents. Overall: 7.5/10 Mostly for vehicle maps although good for maps with tight corridors and such. TIPS: Place mines in grassy,hidden areas to avoid the chance of them being seen by enemy troops. Also place your mines near the enemy spawn points for the element of surprise. Also blast at eney vehicles with a combination of grenades and rockets as so other troops will have a less hard time. ***Scout Trooper*** Equipment: Sniper Rifle Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonator Auto Turret Pro's: -Fast Dashers -x2 Zoom -Campers choice -2 shots kill Con's: -5 shots per clip and slow rate of fire -Poor close up -Ineffective on non-sniper friendly maps Overall: 7/10 Effective on sniper friendly maps but else where will have a hard time. TIPS: When finding a place to snipe ensure your back is covered and the enemy won't jump you. I suggest getting groups of Storm Troopers to follow you and stay with you while you camp. ***Imperial Engineer*** Equipment: Shotgun Fusion Cutter Detpack Dispenser Health and Ammo Pro's: -Can restore own health -Powerful close range weapon -Can fix up vehicles and hack into enemies Con's: -Poor at long range -No actual secondary weapon Overall: 8/10 Shotgun alternative for the Storm Trooper. Although not the most effective in a frenzy distance fire fight. TIPS: You can heal up injured team mates with the health and ammo dispenser as well as heal up yourself. Careful not to do this in a fire fight however as it could cost your life. TIP;rdbizzle1986: try not to shot the shotgun until you are as close to the target as possible.the detpacks work well when placed in choke points you can wait for a group of enemies and blow them all up. ***Imperial Officer*** Equipment: Mortat Launcher Sonic Blaster Rage (attack increase) Recon Droid Pro's: -Sonic blaster is effective -Mortars have good range -Rally gives men a War Hero bonus temporarily -Orbital Strike with Recon Droid is devastating. Con's: -Mortars don't blow up instanly -One ammo for each sub weapon -Recon Droid easily destroyed Overall: 7/10 Not the best Officer but still effective if put to best use. TIPS: Use the Recon droid's orbital strike to take out enemies vehicles or to clear a path to their command posts. ***Dark Trooper*** Equipment: Arc Caster Commando Pistol Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Can fly -Effective weapon that can go through multiple opponents. -Bigger amount of health than normal troops. Con's: -Jetpack is more of an extended boost and takes ages to charge up. -Arc Caster can take awhile to charge -An uncharged Arc Caster is very much ineffective. Overall: 7/10 Not the best specialist unit in the game but not by far the worst. The jetpack while very much temporary is still useful. TIPS: Use the "Jump-pack" to get to high of ledges or escape danger rather than to attack enemies in the sky. Use the Arc Caster uncharged when in a hectic fire fight and charge up while you look for enemies. From: zergdeath With the dark trooper, I like to charge up the lighting gun and then run in with 2 or 3 soliders on follow commands. Once I find some enemies (5 of more) out in the open then fire the gun. The proceed to jetback backwards about ten feet charging the gun again and you will kill 5 enemies. Then your CPU guards will guard u as u reload and repeat. ******************************** *** UNITS: REBELS *** ******************************** ***Rebel Soldier*** Equipment: Blaster Rifle Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Camoflauged on woodland levels -Effective weapon like all Trooper classes -Good at all jobs Con's: -The wood land camo can be a dead give away in some areas -No special attributes Overall: 8/10 Nothing bad to say like all of the soldiers in this class type. TIPS: Use your camoflauge to an advantage on wood levels and hide in foilage and bushes etc. The storm troopers white armour is a dead give away so use this as your advantage to stage ambushes and attacks on unsuspecting folk. ***Rebel Vanguard*** Equipment: Rocket Launcher Blaster Pistol Mines Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Good amount of health -Effective weapon for vehicles -Mines good for traps Con's: -Slow rate of fire -Limited ammo -Rocket launcher can't hack it against single units Overall: 7/10 The same as all the other heavy class units really. TIPS: Play like you would any the other Heavy class unit and go for vehicles and groups of enemies. Use mines for traps around ammo and health droids at enemy CP's. ***Rebel Smuggler*** Equipment: Shotgun Fusion Cutter Detpack Health and Ammo Dispenser Pro's: -Can restore own health and re-supply with ammo. -Powerful close-mid range weapon -Can hack enemy vehicles as well as make turrets. Con's: -Poor long range weapon -No alternative weapon Overall: 8/10 Shotgun fans alternative for normal troopers. TIPS: Use detpacks to destroy enemy turrets and vehicles and when close to a vehicle use the fusion cutters to hack into it a render it useless for a couple of seconds then take out the occupance. *** Rebel Marksmen*** Equipment: Sniper Rifle Blaster Pistol Auto Turret Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Actually has a voice this time -6 ammo as well -2 hits will kill Con's: -Weak health -No good upclose Overall: 7/10 Good Sniper, bad everything else TIPS: Use the auto turret to protest you while you camp but be careful as it doesn't follow you and you only have the one at a time. From: Martyn the Assassin snipers are MUCH better when covered by an auto turret or AI soldier, and the higher the ground the better better angle for headshots ***Bothan Spy*** Equipment: Incinerator Stealth Regeneration Timebomb Pro's: -Can turn invisible -Incinerator eats through health -Time bombs are great vehicle killers -Regeneration helps out team mates immensely Con's: -Stealth lasts as long as your stamina bar -Low amount of health -Rgeneration only works well with large groups Overall: 8/10 Good but not great TIPS: Her's a bunch from GameFAQ's users. From: swjm For Bothans, always remember that your stealth is based on your stamina. Never run or Roll when Stealthed, unless avoiding a grenade or something. Also, Don't take on big groups of units, stick to picking off 1 or 2 guys at a time. The bothan's gun takes far too long to reload. From: mikeTherob with bothans if you get endurence their stealth lasts forever + sneak into an enemy command post crouch down while invisble once the they lose the CP get up and whipe everyone out with incinerator and finish capturing ***Wookiee Warrior*** Equipment: Bowcaster Grenade Launcher Thermal Detonators Health/ammo dispenser Pro's: -Zoom with Bowcaster -Can replenish own health and ammo -Large amount of health -Accurate weapon when charged Con's: -Slow reload times -slow runners -Thermals not as good as old Timebombs Overall: 8/10 Again good but not great. The lack of Timebombs isn't made up by the zoom. TIPS: Find a nice spot to snipe a fully charged and zoomed Bowcaster for a one hit kill. If not go out on to the battle and use the launcher to blow up vehicles a large groups of enemies. Thanks annoyingjk3 for the tip! ********************************* *** UNITS: REPUBLIC *** ********************************* ***Clone Trooper*** Equipment: Blaster Rifle Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Good Rifle -Nice Reload speed Con's: -No special attributes -Gun needs to be shot in bursts at all times -Need group attacks on Droidekas and vehicles Overall: 8/10 No serious faults, just like the Storm Trooper. TIPS: Use Clone Troopers as the bulk of an attack squad. When multiplied by four or five units their rapid rate of fire is enough to put anything away. When encountering Droidekas seek cover and blast from distances. ***Heavy Trooper*** Equipment: Rocket Launcher Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonators Mines Pro's: -Effective weapon for vehicles and turrets -Big splas damage radius -Mines useful for traps Con's: -Mines very visible against light back drops -Very slow reload times -Rocket launcher too slow to fight most troops Overall: 7/10 For vehicle maps mostly. Good on maps with tight corridors where they can use the Rocket Launcher to it's maximum effect. TIPS: Place mines in grassy areas or at enemy CP's for the element of surprise. Blast the enemies vehicles from as far awy as possible as this will cause maximum damage. From: Yellow_Death Put mines on ammo droids get 6 kill with a pistole hit the week points AND use mines wisely. ***Clone Sharpshooter*** Equipment: Sniper Rifle Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonator Auto Turret Pro's: -Excellent Dashers -x2 Zoom -2 shoots can kill -Campers choice Con's: -5 shots per clip and a slow rate of fire. -Poor close up with the Sniper Rifle -Ineffective on maps with nowhere good to snipe. Overall: 7/10 Effective on maps where they can snipe in good locations such as Kashyyk. TIPS: The Sharpshooter should hold back at long distances preferably near ammo droids as they are constantly re-supplied with sniper rounds. Pick off Droideka's -their personal shield makes them easy to spot. Wait for it to drop before firing a couple of rounds to eliminate these droids. ***Clone Engineer*** Equipment: Shotgun Fusion Cutter Detpack Health and Ammo Dispenser Pro's: -Can restore own health and re-supply with ammo. -Powerful close-mid range weapon -Can hack enemy vehicles as well as make turrets. Con's: -Poor long range weapon -No alternative weapon Overall: 8/10 Shotgun fans alternative for normal troopers. TIPS: Use detpacks to destroy enemy turrets and vehicles and when close to a vehicle use the fusion cutters to hack into it a render it useless for a couple of seconds then take out the occupance. Stay out of big scale fire fights as you'll get completely owned. From: Martyn the Assassin if you're hurting and need health try to keep an engineer with you at all times, they AI IS somewhat intelligent (it could outsmart paris hilton) and will give you the ammo and health packs ***Clone Commander*** Equipment: Chain Gun Blaster Pistol Rally (Defense increase) Recon Droid Pro's: -Infinate ammo with an awesome weapon -Recon droid good for recon XD -Rally effective in fire fights when with lots of team mates. Con's: -Weapon overheats fairly quick -Weapon doesn't fire straight away a it has to heat up. Overall: 8/10 Probably the best commander class unit. TIPS: Get as many team mates following you as possible then when on an assault run activate rally to make your troops harder to kill. ***Jet Trooper*** Equipment: EMP Launcher Thermal Detonators Commando Pistol Pro's: -Ability to fly -EMP is effective against Droideka's shield Con's: -Slow reload -Limited amount of rockets Overall: 8/10 Slightly better than the Heavy Trooper with the air advantage. TIPS: Use the Jet pack to move around the maps faster and reach usually unreachable areas to blow up enemy units or vehicles. From: Linc_101 When facing jetpack enemies, always try to attack from under them, as that's their weak point (sorta of obvious, but sometimes it's easy to forget in the heat of battle). **************************** *** UNITS: CIS *** **************************** ***Super Battle Droid*** Equpment: Wrist Blster Tri-shot Wrist Launcher Pro's: -Improved Tri-shot -Decent secondary Rockets Con's: -Slower rate of fire than before -No alternative secondary weapon and you only have 3 rockets. -Rockets themselves are slow Overall: 6.5/10 The weakest of the standard troopers with poor equipment and low ammo for the rockets. TIPS: Save your rockets for Jedi or vehicles or even huge grouped up enemies. Use your Tri-shot at a distance as it is for some reason more effective. From: Grievous2488 Their wrist rocket does some descent damage to enemy infantry, so whenever you see a group of enemy infantry try to fire at their center and aim for their feet. The Wrist Rocket is also quite effective for attacking enemy manned turrets. On the other hand, the Wrist Rockets are not as strong as the thermal detonators and they are not strong enough to leave any significant damage to enemy vehicles. Each individual blaster shot they fire is stronger than the individual shots of the clone trooper's blaster, but the Super Battle Droid's rate of fire is toned down, so you should always try to make every shot count and try to aim for your enemies' head. Their alternative Tri-Shot energy blast should only be used whenever you are literally anywhere from 1-10 ft. from the enemy and can make a good transition from the Wrist Blaster to the Tri-Shot blast. If you happen to be using the Wrist Blaster first and the enemy comes close I find it effective to quickly tap the alternative weapon change button and blast him with the Tri-Shot as it is mostly efective only at close range. ***Assault Droid*** Equpment: Rocket Launcher Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonators Mines Pro's: -Good amount of health -Effective weapon for vehicles -Mines good for traps Con's: -Slow rate of fire -Limited ammo -Rocket launcher can't hack it against single units Overall: 7/10 The same as all the other heavy class units really. TIPS: Play like you would any other Heavy class unit and go for vehicles and jedi. The splash damage will hurt an enemy but the chances are they walk away from it. ***Assassin Droid*** Equipment: Sniper Rifle Blaster Pistol Thermal Detonators Auto Turret Pro's: -Now 6 shots instead of four -Good at running -Auto turret good for camping defense Con's: -No really effective close combat weapon -Sniper rifle has limited ammo Overall: 7/10 Just like all the other sniper classes. TIPS: When playing as the Assassin Droid look to take out Clone Commanders or Jet Troopers as these will cause the rest of your troops the most hassle. Also like all other snipers find a good vantage point to camp and activate auto turret to take out any enemy soldiers coming up from behind. ***Engineer Droid*** Equipment: Shotgun Fusion Cutter Ammo and health Dispenser Detpack Pro's: -Can restore own health and re-supply with ammo. -Powerful close-mid range weapon -Can hack enemy vehicles as well as make turrets. Con's: -Poor long range weapon -No alternative weapon Overall: 8/10 Personally better than the Super Battle Droid. TIPS: Use detpacks to destroy enemy vehicles or switch the fusion cutters to hack into it a render it useless for a couple of seconds then take out the occupance. Stay out of big scale fire fights as you'll get destroyed. From: hippydude0 hokay the cis have an advantage on polis messa any droid can walk can walk into the space area without dyeing so use it to your advantage and slice the enemies AAT's and take a squad to the furthest enemies CP ***Magna Guard*** Equipment: Bulldog RLR Radiation Launcher Neuro Poison Recon Droid Pro's: -Bulldog homes in on the enemy -Nice amount of health -Neuro poison does major damage -Nice back up weapon Con's: -No staff like in the film -Bulldog is slow and easily dodged -Only one Neuro poison -Recon droid can be near useles sometimes -Not the fastest unit around Overall: 8/10 A good Commander class unit but just not fun to play in most cases. TIPS: I couldn't think of any, so Luckily Glitch119 saved my life! From: Glitch119 lock on to your enemy and aim it at the enemy. If you aim and the rocketgoes anywhere near ur opponents body (oppenent has to be locked on)then the rocket will hit the head for an instant kill. ***Droideka*** Equipment: Repeating Blaster Shield Emitter Pro's: -Almost invincible in corridors -Infinite shield uses and ammo -Fast and powerful blasters -Speedy when in ball mode -Can't be head shotted Con's: -Slow getting out of ball mode even slower moving around in out of ball mode. -Can't protect back too well as you turn slow -Blasters over heat quite quickly -Defenceless when in ball mode Overall: 9/10 The best CIS unit by far. TIPS: A cleverly placed Droideka can handle its self very well indeed and will completely own most Clone troopers. Be careful when your shield is down however as you easily killed and also be careful in your ball mode as again your defenceless. From: Glitch119 1 shot at the shield then the shield starts to lose energy. So conserve ur energy by deactivating ur shield when enemies r no where in sight. From: Martyn the Assasin droidekas are good "human" shields to be mortar units behind have the droideka in front of you slowly advancing and lob grenades over it) From: thedivinewanderer Droidika's are most vunerable when they are deploying. My strategy is to roll behind some cover, then deploy into standing mode, put on your sheild and waddle out from to face the enemy. ****************************** *** SPACE UNITS **** ****************************** In space battles you are given two units; The pilot and the Marine. Seeing as these units are near enough identical I'll be doing the unit synopsis as: Pilot and Marine and not doing each individual factions. ***Pilot*** Equipment: Blaster Pistol Timebomb Fusion Cutter Pro's: -Can heal any space fighter. Useful in dog fights. -Timebombs can take out the core systems from inside the enemy ship. Con's: -Limited amount of ammo for timebombs -Pistol overheats when you need it the most -No good at taking out other pilots or Marines Overall: 9/10 The best space unit for taking the fight to space and for destroying the core systems. TIPS: Fly into the enemy starship with the transport craft to allow yourself and other team mates to spawn from inside the opponents own ship. Also use the time bombs to blow up the core systems from inside. ***Marine*** Equipment: Blaster Rifle Rocket Launcher Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Good for clearing out auto turrets and a room full of pilots. -Rocket Launcher effective for taking out vehicles. Con's: -Poor at taking out the core systems from inside -Poor space fighters as they can't repair the ship Overall: 7/10 Obviously the worst Space unit. TIPS: Use the marine for taking out pilots from the inside and blowing up starfighters for the enemy. When you go with a Pilot your extra firepower will be a great support. **************************** *** HERO UNITS *** **************************** Throughout the game you will have the chance to paly as the hero unit of your faction. You do so by completing certain objectives in Single player Campaign and by scoring an X amount of points in Instant Action or Multiplayer. This is a run down of the playable heroes. ***Darth Maul*** Equipment: Double Saber Force Push Saber Throw Pro's: -Fast Combo and dash attack -Effective anti air combo -Multi hit dash attack and saber combo Con's: -Plain Force powers -The kicks in his saber combo do very small amounts of damage. Overall: 8.5/10 One of the best out there but the force powers let him down in comparison to others. TIPS: Use Maul like you would Rambo and go on A killing spree of blood and mayhem. The Push/saber Throw combo is particularly effective against multiple Foes. ***Count Dooku*** Equipment: Lightsaber Force Lightning Force Choke Pro's: -Choke/Lightning combo -Dash attack doesn't cause you to stop still Con's: -Very slow Combo -Force Lightning is friendly fire keen -Dash attack is weak Overall: 7/10 Faster Version of The Emperor TIPS: Play carefully as Dooku as strength isn't his Strong point. It's cunning and that's what you Have to be. Choke a single enemy then switch to Force Lightning to attack his friends around him. Also you're dash attack may be weak but at least you Can give any troops behind you an easier time by taking Some health off. ***The Emperor*** Equipment: Lightsaber Force Lightning Force Choke Pro's: -Choke/Lightning at same time like Dooku Con's: -Exactly the same as Dooku's except amplified! -SLOW SLOW SLOW!!! Overall: 4/10 The only thing worth doing is the Choke/Lightning combo. TIPS: Don't be him unless you want to lose or you thing You are going to. In most cases a Storm Trooper is better than The Emperor. ***General Grievous*** Equipment: Lightsabers Rage (Attack Increase) Pro's: -Combo hits everywhere -Rage helps team mates out a lot! -Effective backwards attack -Dash attack is strong Con's: -Only the one jump -Combo can be hard to use -No distance attack Overall: 6.5/10 Rage is effective for team mates but nothing else is special. TIPS: Use Grievous carefully and block often as blaster fire Is the biggest threat seeing as you can't throw your Lightsabers. Use Rage with team mates present As otherwise it's a waste. ***Jango Fett*** Equipment: Westar 33 Blaster Flamethrower Wrist Rocket Timebombs Pro's: -Very accurate pistol -Pistol has zoom -Flamethrower eats through health -Very long dash run Con's: -Weak pistol with limited ammo -Timebombs near useless except on vehicles and turrets -Flamethrower has small amount of ammo -Wrist Rockets are slow Overall: 6.5/10 The weaker of the two Fett's but better than Leia as A blaster character. TIPS: Fly up high and start to snip on unsuspecting enemies To rack up a few kills and then get to planting Timebombs On the opponents vehicles. ***Boba Fett*** Equipment: EE-3 Blaster Rifle Flamnethrower Wrist Rocket Detpack Pro's: -Detpack is an instant kill on troops and very damaging to unsuspecting heroes. Also an excellent trap. -Accurate and effective weapon. -Long dash Period -Flamethrower eats health. Especially on turret users. -Jetpack recharges slightly faster than Jango's. -Fast reload for Blaster Con's: -Limited ammo -Blaster Rifle only fires in bursts. -Slow Rockets. Overall: 7.5/10 A lot better than almost all the other blaster heroes. TIPS: Use the Detpacks as traps for unsuspecting prey And on vehicles for decent damage. Boba's weapon is Also a guaranteed kill on most troops so conserve the ammo As it will go fast. ***Anakin Skywalker*** Equipment: Lightsaber Saber Throw Force Choke Pro's: -Choke/walk up slash combo effective -Fast effective combo -Dash attack is effective if you activate it early -Can easily take on multiple opponents. Con's: -Dash attack can be awkward -Force choke is limited to your stamina bar -No force lightning to do the Choke/Lightning combo Overall: 8.5/10 Arguably the best on the darkside although not the Coolest. TIPS: Charge straight ino the battle using choke on singular Foes and your dash on groups. Play it safe and there should Be no reason why you should die. ***Darth Vader*** Equipment: Lightsaber Saber Throw Force Choke Pro's: -Dash attack has a wide ark. -Good combo -Choke/slash combo again effective -The 'float' jump is better than 4 jumps in some cases. Con's: -Slow paced -Again no Force Lightning but this time because of metal arms. Overall: 8/10 Anakin with slow movement basically. TIPS: Play like you would Anakin but this time your Dash is just as effective on single foes. Your speed Is your only concern so dash as much as possible. ***Obi Wan Kenobi*** Equipment: Lightsaber Force Push Saber Throw Pro's: -Effective combo -Anti-air attack Con's: -Difficult dash attack Plain Force powers Overall: 7.5/10 Too much reliance on his push and throw Let Obi Wan down. TIPS: Use Force Push to knock people of Platforms or stages for easy kills. Charge into Groups with your dash attack. ***Mace Windu*** Equipment: Lightsaber Force Push Saber Throw Pro's: -Fast, Effective combo -Special jump and R trigger attack is good for attacking vehicles on top. -Long range saber throw Con's: -Dash attack is awful -Plain Force powers Overall: 8/10 Just a little bit better than Luke TIPS: Use your dash attack to pound away at enemy Groups and vehicles as your chance to hit anything Is increased. Like you should with Aayla Pull groups Of enemies towards you and then attack then with a combo. ***Yoda*** Equipment: Lightsaber Force Pull Force Push Pro's: -Invincible in water -small and hard to hit -Pull has long range -5 jumps Con's: -awkward to use combo -No projectile attacks -Combo isn't very damaging Overall: 6/10 Good but not great TIPS: Use your push to knock enemies of stages Or platforms and use Pull on enemies hero to Get him/her closer as so you can go for The kill. ***Ki-Adi-Mundi*** Equipment: Lightsaber Saber Throw Force Pull Pro's: -Good combo like Luke -Pull has long range -Dash attack amazing against vehicles Con's: -Plain Force Powers Dash attack useless against single enemy units Overall: 8/10 Good but dash attack on troops lets him down TIPS: Use your dash attack to pound away at enemy vehicles As it is most effective. Like with Aayla pull groups of enemies Towards you and unleash your combo on them. ***Luke Skywalker*** Equipment: Lightsaber Saber Throw Force Push Pro's: -Fast Lightsaber combo -Push/saber throw combo deadly Con's: -Plain Force powers -Third dash attack hit unlikely to connect Overall: 7.5/10 Again Good but not great TIPS: Luke's combo is great for on the go action So use it effectively in groups of enemies to Rack up the kills. Use the Push/Saber throw Combo to tacke distance enemies. ***Han Solo*** Equipment: DL44 Blaster Fusion Cutter Detpack Rally (Defense Increase) Pro's: -Amazing blaster -Detpacks are good like for traps and clearing out vehicles -Fusion Cutters make you the best hacker around -Rally great in large fire fights. -Infinate ammo for Blaster and takes ages to overheat. Con's -Fusion cutters near useless on non vehicle maps -Long time to wait if gun overheats -Rally useless with no team mates nearby Overall: 7/10 Best blaster character for the Lightside TIPS: Use detpacks on turrets on Kamino and Vehicle's on Utapau. Also aim for the head At all times. ***Chewbacca*** Equipment: Bowcaster Guided Rocket Timebomb Rage Pro's: -Lot's of health -Sniper scope, x2 zoom -Guided missile useful on tanks -Rage good in groups Con's: -Ammo goes fast -Timebombs only useful for vehicles -Not very fast Overall: 7/10 Not bad but not great either TIPS: Use your guided missiles from far away and Use the boost for maximum damage. Snipe On grouped enemies with the Bowcaster from Afar. ***Princess Leia*** Equipment: Sporting Blaster Invurnerability Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Accurate weapon -Invurnerability in large groups is killer -Thermal Detonators good for clearing out groups. -x2 zoom Con's: -4 shots and your gun overheats -No alternate weapon. Overall: 4/10 Just bad TIP: Snipe if you want but you may miss as the gun is Too accurate and overheats quick. Aim for the head At all costs. ***Aayla Secura*** Equipment: Double Lightsabers Saber Throw Force Pull Pro's: -Good combo for groups -Pull can be used at great distances -Good dash attack Con's: -Combo poor for one on one -Plain Force powers. Overall: 8/10 As good as Mace TIPS: Use pull to get large groups of Enemies towards you then use your combo To whipe them all out. ********************************* *** HUNT SPECIFIC UNITS *** ********************************* These are the Hunt Exclusive Units within the game. The objective of Hunt is the Hunting team attempts to eliminate the entire hunted team within the time limit. If the Hunted team survies until the end of the match they are victorious. ***GUNGANS*** Equipment: Fusion Cutter Thermal Detonators Pro's: -20 Thermal Detonators -Throw very far Con's: -No actual weapon -No EMP grenades like BF1 -Too much reliance on turret building and using them. -No special attributes Overall: 3/10 The amount of grenades you carry and how far the Gungans throw them get's them this grade. TIPS: Build turrets and use them to blast the CIS apart. Failing that throw grenades everywhere, especially were they spawn. ***GEONOSIAN*** Equipment: Sonic Blaster Pro's: -Can fly far large amounts of time. -Powerful and accurate weapons. -Easy to get headshots with. -Splash damage Con's: -Slow dash and normal run speed. -No alternate weapon. -Physicaly weak with hardly any health. -Small splash damage -Flight takes awhile to recharge fully. Overall: 5/10 Slow dash and slow run speeds make them a below average character but their ability to fly out balances this and their low health is balanced by a good weapon. TIPS: Your opponets are Snipers so keep moving inwards for the kill and fly to close the gap between you and the opponent. The sonic gun is very accurate so aim for the head on idle or still enemies. ***WOOKIEES*** Equipment: Wookiee 1: Bowcaster Fusion Cutter Wookiee 2: Bowcaster Thermal Detonators Pro's: -Good amount of health -Bowcaster is accurate with spread damage -Charge shot is fast and powerful -Can fix turrets with Fusion Cutters -2x scope with the Bowcaster Con's: -Ammo depletes fast -Not all blaster bolts will hit -Wookiee 1's alternate weapon is near useless. Overall: 8/10 One of the best hunt units by far. The rate your bowcaster ammo goes just let's it down as it means you having to keep going to the ammo droid or scavenge for pickups. TIPS: Take out the Magna guards operating Recon droids as they are left wide open. Also use your scope to your advantage and pick off groups huddled together in the distance. ***TUSKEN*** Equipment: Tusken Raider: Tusken Cycler Tusken Hunter: Bolt Action Rifle RAIDER: Pro's: -Accurate weapon -Decent firepower -Above average rate of fire -Decent reload time Con's: -No alternate weapon Overall: 8/10 HUNTER: Pro's: -Good dash speed -Very accurate -Unlimited sniper ammo -Fairly easy to use without having to snipe. Con's: -Slow rate of fire -Only x1 scope -No alternate weapon Overall: 6/10 Your choice. If you like to snipe go with the Hunter, stick with the Raider for anything else however. TIPS: If your sniper use the huge walls located near the crashed ship to get the best vantage point of the map. ***JAWA*** Equipment: Ionization Blaster Fusion Cutters Pro's: -Blaster is powerful. Takes a third of the enemies health. -Stuns target when they get hit. -Small=harder to hit Con's: -Very slow when dashing -Doesn't jump that high -Secondary weapon near useless Overall: 8/10 Very good weapon that stuns targets as well as deals heavy damage is a winning combo. TIPS: Stay out of open areas as snipers can pick ypu off. Also use small spaces to launch sneak attacks. ***EWOKS*** Equipment: Tribal Spear Sharp Rocks Pro's: -Far throwing ability -Small and hard to hit -Camoflauged by trees/grass -Almost instant kill spears Con's: -Terrible dash -Rocks can be hard to use and hit enemies with Overall: 7/10 Almost instant kill spears and rocks that lead to a follow up attack are all useful. Size helps alot also and gives you that little bit of an edge. These things counter balance the bad dash and at times bad accuracy of spears. TIP: Don't bother with dashing and save your stamina for rolling out of blaster fire. Throw rocks at Storm Troopers then follow up with a spear to insure that kill. ***WAMPA*** Equipment: Claw Pro's: -Lots of health -Basically a jedi without force powers etc. Con's: -No wepons or anything else -Big target 0verall: 9/10 By far the best Hunt unit in the game with power, speed and durability. TIPS: Take out the Rebels auto gun turrets to help keep you alive for a little longer and take out Wookiees and Bothan Spies as these will give yuo the most trouble. Also the Wampa has an attack similar to Mace Windu's if you jump and attack. From: Linc_101 If you're Wampas (hunt on Hoth) their jump attack move is very powerful and can kill multiple rebels at the same time. They also have a OHK attack, or as I like to call it, the "Hug" attack, which can be done with the pull of the Left Trigger (Though there is a one second delay time to "charge up" the attack, so press the trigger a bit early). ******************************** *** SPECIAL THANKS *** ******************************** This section is just a list to thank all those who contributed into making this FAQ, if you'd like to be here then email me at email@example.com with the title being: SWBF2:[your tip OR question here] rdbizzle1986 swjm Linc_101 Yellow_Death Glitch119 Martyn the Assasin zergdeath Grievous2488 thedivinewanderer annoying jk3 hippydude0 **************************** *** COPY RIGHT *** **************************** Lucas arts and the Lucas arts Logo are trademarks of Lucasfilm Ltd.

In Photoshop Lightroom 3 Essential Training, author Chris Orwig provides a comprehensive look at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, the popular photo-asset management, enhancement, and publishing program. The course covers indispensable techniques such as importing, processing, and organizing images in the Library, correcting and adjusting images in the Develop module, and creating slideshows, web galleries, and print picture packages. In addition to exploring all of Lightroom 3's capabilities, this course is rich with creative tips and expert advice on photographic workflow. Exercise files accompany the course.
Now that we've dialed in our preferences, what we want to do is take a look at how we can take advantage of these two different settings. We have our typical settings, and then also this Additional External Editor. So, let's close the Preferences dialog, and back in Lightroom, we're going to navigate to the Photo pulldown menu. What you're going to notice here is we have the option to choose Edit In. Now, this is for the first set of settings, and then here is the Additional Editor. Now, one of the things that happens is it's a little bit awkward to know, okay, well, which one should I select, because they both look pretty similar.
Now, if you want more distinction, what you can do is navigate back to our Preferences. On a Mac, you go to the Lightroom pulldown menu; on a PC, that's the Edit pulldown menu, and choose Preferences. What you may want to do here is for your Additional External Editor, you may want to save this as a preset. I'm going to go ahead and click on Save Current Settings as a New Preset. Here, I'm going to name this as a preset in a way that makes sense based on my options. What these options will do is they'll help me remember how I defined this particular Additional External Editor.
I'll click Create here. We can see that we can access that from this pulldown menu in this way. All right, well, let's close Preferences. Now, back in Lightroom. When you now go to the Photo pulldown menu and choose Edit In, we now have our top two options as is. These are the typical ones. This is the Additional External Editor. Then we also have these different presets that I can create. Sometimes it's helpful to have these, because again, these words trigger my memory and say, oh, yeah, that's what I was thinking.
What about actually working on these files in Photoshop? We can use the shortcut, or we can use the long cut. The long cut for now, let's take a look at it. Edit In. I'm going to edit this photo in Photoshop CS4, or on a Mac, it's Command+E; on a PC that's Ctrl+E. I'm going to select that option. It will then open up the image inside of Photoshop. What I want to do is open up these two different images and then make a couple of comparisons. So, this is the real big file, the biggest file that we have here. Let's go back to Lightroom.
Now, in the Photo pulldown menu, we're going to go back there, Edit In. In this case, we can either choose Edit In > Adobe Photoshop CS4, or use a shortcut or use a preset. These two are identical. All right, so I'll go ahead and click on that option, and I'll edit it this way. Once this image is open inside of Photoshop, it's saying, hey, you know what, this image is in this sRGB color space. Currently, Photoshop is dialed in or set up to work in ProPhoto. What do you want to do? Well, I want to use my sRGB.
So, I'll go ahead and leave the default option, use the embedded profile, and I'll click OK. All right, well, now I have two files that are open, and let's take a look at these two files. Let's try to compare them a little bit. Here you can see that this one is currently in sRGB, and this one is ProPhoto. Now, you can change what is displayed at the bottom of the screen here, by clicking on this triangle, and then choosing Show. So, let's go ahead and go to Document Sizes. In this case, this one is 48 MGs. Let's compare that over here. We're going to show our Document Sizes.
This one is 97 MGs. This is the one in 16-bit. This is the one in 8-bit. You can also see that by going to the Image pulldown menu, and choosing mode, and you can see this is an 8-bit per channel image. In contrast, the other one, going to the Image pulldown menu > Mode, this one is a 16-bit per channel photograph. So, what we can see here is that these images are definitely different. Now the dimensions are identical. I just want to point that out briefly. If I go to Image and select Image Size, we can see this one is about 5,000 pixels wide, about 3 tall.
Let's hit Cancel, look at the other smaller photograph. We go to Image and Image Size, again, 5,000 wide, about 3,000 tall. The whole point here is that what's happening when we're editing in Photoshop is it's taking the full, huge file, but if we can apply a few different things, in this case we looked at how we could apply a different resolution, so we changed the Resolution. We also took a look at how we could apply different bit depth and then also color space. So, there are times when you may want to have a couple of different options dialed in, so that you have flexibility.
Now, what options you actually use in this Additional External Editor are completely dependent on your own preference, basically how you work. You may find that that's a little bit overkill, that really, all you're going to do is simply work to Photoshop with the highest settings. Although, in other situations, you may discover, you know what, the highest settings where I'm generating this file, like we can see over here, that's just gigantic, well that's just overkill for my own workflow. So, for in those situations perhaps, our Additional Editor will be at 8 bits versus 16, or whatever it is in order to work a little bit more effectively.
All right, well, now that we've been introduced to our External Editing Preferences, and now that we've started to take a look at how this will work in small ways, let's dig a little bit deeper into this topic, and let's do that in the next movie.

Krista Kokjohn-Poehler has been hired to work in the Girl Scouts executiveofficer in New York City, Breitbart News reported, and given the title of "Girl Experience Officer." The hiring has received little or no news coverage since it was announced five months ago.
Breitbart News reported, "Kokjohn-Poehler is an out lesbian married to a woman named Ashley Kokjohn. And, given her sexual preference, it may strike some as odd that her job title is "Girl Experience Officer.""
Kokjohn-Poehler is reported to be a lesbian whose marriage to another woman was celebrated in news coverage in San Diego Magazine.
"San Diego Magazine featured Kokjohn-Poehler's 2007 commitment ceremony: "Like many of the best love stories, this one began with a beautiful friendship. Krista Poehler and Ashley Kokjohn were immediately drawn to each other when they met in college, and spent countless hours discussing family, life goals and much more," Breitbart News reported, "The brides were radiant in formal white gowns; their parents wore black, and the bridesmaids wore taupe. The couple exchanged matching diamond eternity bands an dread vows they wrote themselves, then their parents joined the bridal party and surrounded them in a 'circle of love.'" Ashley called it beautiful, spiritual and perfect."
Breitbart reported Kokjohn-Poehler's new job, as described on her LinkedIn profile, as a role I which she will, "serve as the chief of girl innovation and be the expert on and organizational voice for girls. Lead the "Girl Experience" team in efforts to take insights from marketplace data and collaborate internally and externally to drive program innovation."
Critics have accused the Girl Scouts leadership of moving toward the left and embracing cultural values many Americans do not agree with. Breitbart reported, "Penny Nance, former Girl Scout and president of Concerned Women for America, told Breitbart News, "In the last ten years the Girl Scouts have lost about a few hundred thousand members, and part of the reason for that is their tone deafness toward the cultural values of American moms."
Breitbart noted many leaving the Girl Scouts have joined a rival organization called "American Heritage Girls."

Best Uses
I bought the unit in 9/2012 and it failed within 2 weeks. The company sent a replacement which failed 1 year later. It is designed so poorly that cleaning requires the complete disassembly of the whole unit and the drainage method is so convoluted that failure is bound to occur.

The company's return policy makes no sense as you pay to ship it back, but the cost makes it an inane position.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months

Worked for One Summer, Then . . . .
Best Uses
I have had bad luck with many dehumidifiers that die after one summer, occasionally lasting two. I had hoped for better with this unit, but here I am one year after purchase with a worthless device that simply does not function. The unit displays a frequent P1 code (you can read about this infamous Sunpentown code on the web), meaning it is frozen up and must defrost. When the unit is working (I use the term loosely), it simply no longer takes moisture out of the air. Useless. I've had it with unreliable dehumidifiers designed to break after one season, and from now on will only buy from stores like Costco where I *know* I can have a relatively hassle-free return.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Choice
Best Uses
Overall, a great unit. Looks nice, has a built in re-useable dust filter for the fan. The bucket holds quite a bit of water, but on a humid day this unit will fill it daily. Yes, it is a little noisy and loud, but this unit really moves the air, helping to ensure good moisture removal. It even has a turbo setting that runs the fan even faster for more circulation in larger areas. The controls are easy to use, the built in bucket is nice, it can be set up to drain to a floor drain. Plus, its lasted at least two trouble free years. Only cons are the bucket can be hard to seat properly, it rolls VERY easily so it wants to move when pushing the bucket into place. Otherwise very happy with it.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The tablet market is now almost PC-size, but Windows 8 and RT continue to flounder May 2, 2013 at 7:52 am
IDC has finally published its Q1 2013 report of the tablet market, and it isn't good for Microsoft. Between January and March 2013, Microsoft sold just 900,000 of its Surface tablets, essentially showing no growth from Q4 2012 — and more importantly, despite the January release of the Surface Pro. These figures are even worse when you zoom out: In Q1 2013, 49.2 million tablets were sold worldwide — a year-over-year increase of 142%, with Samsung and Asus showing YOY growth of 282% and 350% respectively.

Last month, predictions about tablets overtaking laptops this year started to pop up, and the holiday quarter numbers show that tablets are gaining huge ground on PCs. As of the fourth quarter of 2012, tablets shipped well over half the total number of traditional PCs.
PC sales are in decline, and in an alarming way for the first time January 11, 2013 at 1:14 pm
You may have noticed that a majority of your non-gamer friends own tablets and smartphones, and you might occasionally remember a day when the desktop PC ruled the market. A new report by market intelligence firm IDC says that the reason why you've been noticing more tablets and smartphones is because PC sales are in decline.


text: My question is that if it was up to you, which 3 non current roster players should be on the team starting January 1st, 2013. I realize that the team will see more changes down the line, but let's concentrate on your top 3 for now (and why). Here are mine: 1.) Whitney Engen - Since the defense was a weak point in both the Olympics and WC, we have to see some major changes at this position. Krieger and Sauerbrun are likely starters, but we need another central defender with Rampone hitting 40 at the next WC. Engen was WPS defensive player of the year in 2011 and she also has the height (5'-8") to defend against set plays. 2.) Christen Press - Although our offense seems to be performing well for now, the USWNT will need someone like Press if Wambach loses a step or 2 at the next WC. I really like Sydney Leroux, but do think that the team loses some of its creativity when Morgan is subbed out against stronger opponents. Morgan is the type of player that makes something out of nothing and can take on 2 or 3 defenders at a time while servicing other players. Bringing someone off the bench like Press that has the scoring touch and can create opportunities for others with her playmaking skills, would be a huge boost for this team. Plus, having her compete against Leroux for a starting spot would really push both players to bring their "A" games for each match. If Press does start next to Morgan, then I bet they'll be able to run circles around defenses similar to a Messi/Teves combination. 3.) Kealia Ohai - Ohai reminds me a lot of Morgan when she was on the under 20 team. I can tell that this girl is a winner and will fight until the last second to make sure her team comes out on top. Similar to Morgan, she's the type of player that will not disappear from a match even if facing stronger and more athletic opposition. My gut tells me that she'll improve exponentially from year to year until she's a superstar by the age of 25. She's a similar type player to O'Reilly but with more creative skills.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) - A Rochester minister has been ordered to do community service work for shooting his granddaughter.
An Olmsted County District Court judge stayed a 91-day jail sentence for Stanley Wilkinson, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Rochester. Under a plea agreement, Wilkinson earlier pleaded guilty to intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety. Wilkinson must complete 100 hours of community work.
Wilkinson told police he grabbed his pistol after hearing a noise outside his house last December and fired two rounds after seeing what he thought was someone trying to open the deck door. It turned out to be his 16-year-old granddaughter, who was struck once in the neck.
The Rochester Post-Bulletin (http://bit.ly/118ZUX7 ) says the teen had been living with her grandparents and told police she left the house without telling them.

Summit Church sells land near RTP to real estate trust
The Summit Church, a Southern Baptist church that draws thousands to weekly services at a network of campuses in the Triangle, sold 36 acres off T.W. Alexander Drive last week to a real estate investment trust.
The church sold the property for $4 million to Pennsylvania-based Liberty Property Trust, which plans to develop an industrial park on the site called Liberty Ridge. The proposed industrial park will include 462,000 square feet of multi-tenant industrial buildings.
"We are excited to expand our presence in the Triangle," Massie Flippin, vice president and city manager for Liberty's Carolinas region, said in a statement. She said that the new industrial buildings will increase the company's real estate portfolio in the Triangle.
Liberty Property, which is publicly traded under the ticker symbol LPT, is an $8.8 billion trust that owned 101 million square feet of industrial and office space throughout the United States and the United Kingdom as of March 31.
It owns five industrial buildings at Keystone Business Park totaling 664,000 square feet and five industrial buildings at Imperial Center totaling 705,365 square feet. Upon Liberty Ridge's completion, the company's footprint in the Triangle will total more than 1.831 million square feet of space.
The Summit Church has owned the T.W. Alexander Drive property since 2006. The church bought the land for nearly $4.05 million from a limited liability company connected to Florida-based Avanti Properties Group.
Katie Persinger, Summit's communications director, said in an email that the church bought the property with plans to build a church there. But in the interim, the church bought a nearby facility on Presidential Drive off of T.W. Alexander and Miami Boulevard. The Presidential Drive location is one of eight campuses for the church.

Anathema have steadily built a loyal following worldwide, and their career trajectory is unlike that of any other band in the last quarter century, and will be reflected and celebrated in reverse chronological order at a series of special 'Resonance' anniversary shows.
Starting with the anthemic progressive rock of their recent work, the performance will gradually move back in time through the more gothic-oriented material of 1998's Alternative 4 and 1996's Eternity, all the way back to the pioneering work of 1995's The Silent Enigma and the 1993 debut Serenades, with Patterson and White joining the band onstage for a historic reunion.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, 2006 While competing for its share of the tourism market on the famed Las Vegas Strip, the MGM Mirage hotel and casino has earned something perhaps just as valuable: employee approval.
The National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a Defense Department agency, has announced that the MGM Mirage is one of 15 recipients of the 2006 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. The award publicly recognizes employers, nominated by employees serving in the National Guard and reserves, for exceptional support above the requirements of federal law.
Several MGM Mirage employees nominated their employer for the Freedom Award, Jeff Ellis, chief financial officer of corporate benefits for the MGM Mirage, said.
"We had seven or eight employees that sent in nominations. I don't know which one was the one that got us the (award)," he said, adding that MGM Mirage officials are pleased with the recognition. "They're very happy that (the employees) felt strong enough about our policy to actually nominate us for these awards."
The MGM Mirage's policy includes continued full pay and benefits for any employee called to active duty, Ellis said. "Whatever benefits they've selected as an employee, we continue them," he said.
Of the hotel and casino's 70,000-person workforce, about 110 are members of military reserve components, Ellis said. They work in positions ranging from security and information technology to management. Twenty-four of those employees currently are benefiting from continued full pay and benefits as they serve on active duty in their respective services.
"We don't want them to have to worry about their family or their loved ones that they've left behind," Ellis said. "We want our employees, our people that are called to active duty, to really concentrate on what they're doing over there."
ESGR will present the Freedom Awards to all 15 recipients during a ceremony Sept. 21 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, in Washington, D.C.

Powell's 15-year reign as England boss came to an end on Tuesday following a disappointing showing at Euro 2013, where her side - finalists four years ago - finished bottom of their group.
The FA now has only four weeks to find a new manager ahead of a fresh qualification campaign for the 2015 World Cup that starts with home games against Belarus on 21 September and Turkey five days later.
Canada's English coach John Herdman is among the favourites to succeed Powell but Horne revealed a new head of performance will tasked with ensuring emerging talent can break through at the top level.
"We just decided there was a need for a fresh outlook," Horne told Sky Sports News.
"We've got two appointments we'll look to make now: a women's senior coach, with a focus just on running that team and working with those semi-professional athletes, but also a head of women's performance to make sure we're managing that talent pathway.
"So it's two new roles we'll look to recruit."
FA chairman Greg Dyke insisted the move to disperse with Powell's services was the right one.
"Hope's done a great job for women's football in this country and how it's developed over 15 years is important but every so often you do need a change," Dyke said.
"There's a period in which you're most effective and over time you become less effective and I think that was the decision."
Powell's former counterpart Roy Hodgson echoed Dyke's sentiments but credited the work she had done during her time in charge.
"Hope has done a good job for women's football in this country," he said.
"If you look at what's happened over 15 years it's enormous, the change. But every so often you have to make changes."

Mango and Snap Pea Noodle Salad with a Tangy Peanut Dressing
This week I have been addicted to peanut butter.
I made this peanut butter banana smoothie until we ran out of ingredients. First I ran out of frozen bananas, and found out that ice + fresh bananas are truly sub-par substitutes. Next, I ran out of peanut butter, too. I considered making my own homemade peanut butter, but gosh, I am out of peanuts, too. That's when my addiction stopped. I had to stop cold turkey. It was probably for the better of us both.
Thankfully, I made this salad earlier in the week and have been enjoying it ever since.
Sweet mangoes and sugar snap peas are paired with a tangy, acidic (in a good way) peanut dressing, spiced with green onions and tossed overtop peppery Asian baby greens (bring on the mizuna!). I also added kelp noodles, to add a bit more bulk. They are great additions to salads since they don't slurp up the extra dressing. I liked that the vinegar in the dressing made this quite a light peanut dressing. I normally pair coconut milk with my peanut dressings, so this was a nice change. Light and refreshing, yet still substantial. Perfect to eat during this hot summer.
This is my submission to Presto Pasta Nights hosted by Ruth, to this week's Healthy Vegan Fridays, and and to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays.
Mango and Snap Pea Noodle Salad with a Tangy Peanut Dressing
Adapted from 1000 Vegan Recipes (original recipe here)
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
3/4 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 tsp Aleppo chile flakes
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce (I used Bragg's)
4-5 tbsp water, to reach your desired consistency
2 cups sugar snap peas, stemmed and thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 carrot, grated (1 cup)
2 cups cucumber, halved and sliced in 1/4-inch slices
10 oz kelp noodles, rinsed
2 medium Ataulfo mangoes (1 cup), peeled and chopped
6 cups mixed baby greens
1/4 cup peanuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1. First, prepare your dressing. In a small cup, whisk together the garlic, ginger, peanut butter, chile flakes, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Add 3 tbsp of water and whisk until it is smooth. Add more water until it has reached your desired consistency (I added 2 tbsp more water).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the snap peas, carrot, cucumber and kelp noodles. Fold in the mango (it can be delicate).
3. To serve, plate mixed baby greens, top with the salad, drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle toasted peanuts overtop.
Serves 4.

I wonder where I could get kelp noodles. I'll have to check with Native Sun. I love peanut dressings.
Kelp noodles sound rather wonderful. Must check them out. I've been addicted to peanut butter of late as well–and other nut butters. I try not to think about the calories of fat…This recipe looks great–I love peanut dressing and welcome new interpretations of it.
I made a different salad, lettuce, cabbage, celery, carrots, quinoa, and chopped pan fried tofu and used this dressing and loved it. I've tried a lof of peanut dressings, but haven't found I like for salads, they are always too creamy and not spicy enough. This dressing was perfect, although I did add some lime. Thank you.
I am addicted to peanut butter every week! I love that this has mango in it also! Another favorite :)
What a heavenly summer supper. I wonder how long this obsession of yours will last. Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.
This is a gorgeous salad–I love all of the flavors and ingredients in it. Still need to try those kelp noodles though. ;-) Thanks for sending it to Souper Sundays.
The salad sounds wonderful! But what dressing would you suggest for those who either don't like, or are allergic to, peanuts? I have mangoes and greens just waiting for a dressing! Thanks, Marie

This salad was SO much better than a 'regular' chopped salad I could have made for lunch! For greens I used chard and instead of kelp noodles, zucchini ribbons. The dressing (as it came out from me) was more acidic and light than a peanut dressing used for noodles. Was perfect for the salad. Mango gave it a flavor punch; glad I didn't forfeit that ingredient.

David Skinner wallpaper
Perhaps it's one of those memories transplanted from a photograph, but I have vivid memories of the wallpaper that hung in my bedroom then, a brown damask. I remember lying in my cot and seeing faces in it, grotesque gargoyles staring at me. And my blanket was orange and this would have been the late 70's when all decor was brown and orange and avocado green.
Our town was Kildare and the factory was Kildare Wallpaper, built in 1936 and closed when I was two, or three. On my birth certificate, which I looked at last weekend, Dad's "rank or profession" is listed as Works Manager.
A few night's ago, via Ben's blog, I came across a link to David Skinner, an Irish wallpaper-maker. Ben has the Malahide pattern hanging in his Dorset hallway and I have admired it often. I love the patterns in Skinner's range, inspired by - and named after - so many Irish country houses that we visited as children. And I began to wonder if, when we visited those houses, Dad noticed the papers and the colourways. Or maybe wallpaper was all machines and measurements, volumes and quality control to him.
There are little moments when I think of my parents stripped of all their parenthood and more like the young people they were then, the same age as me now, really. And I suppose it's because I love decor that it's striking to think of Dad with patterns and colours whizzing by him, finally cut into rolls and shipped around Europe. The same papers that hung in our house and in the houses of all our friends in that town. They must have felt proud.
Until the factory closed and most of us moved away.

I've witnessed so much self indulgent, narcissistic and badly written blog posts of late. So much so that I came running over here to you tonight Jane. Like being in a stiffling room, full of noise and babble pressing down on me and needing to open the window wide and let the fresh cold night air - that is you - blow life and vitality into an otherwise rattling void. You've no idea how unique you are. You really don't. And this post. The reflections in it...I too am now wondering did your Dad notice all the things that you would notice in those old country house hallways...I'm betting he did. And how evocative I find your recollection of lying in your small bed and seeing the gargoyles and the grotesque patterns in the wallpaper. Reading this I am instantly transported to my grandparents terraced house on a narrow street in Sligo town - my sister and I lying in the double bed in the box room, and the light from the street lamps illuminating the various sections of the horse and hound themed wallpaper in that little room...and it feels good...and calm...and simple and lovely.ReplyDelete
