Today is actually a slow day for me
So just resting for the time to be
Sunday was a toughie for pain
Could have cried all day with nothing to gain.
There are days a wheelchair sounds good
But trying to keep walking as best i could
Will try not to complain
Don't want to drive you all insasne.
The weather is nice
Could use a cup of ice
Gotta go now and clean the table
Will wash the dishes since I am able.
hugs to you both
Jul 28, 2009
oh suetta what a nice suprise, stopped by and to my demise
I find you had been here I see with my eyes
and you left some sweet lovin to bad
it wasnt somethin from the oven (im hungry) lol
not good new with pain like that
im sure it is nothing you choose
well you just take it easy and do
what you can do
stop by when you can, will look for you every now and then.
take care hope the pain goes away
we know it isnt but we can pray
going now love and hugs
watch out for the bugs

i tripped and detached my achilles tendon
and fixing it is going to be ________
am having second thoughts about it
my mind is giving me fits
am weighing the pros and cons
and the list for both is very long.
the parkinsons' is really complicating the procedure options
i am getting to old for these _______
just running my thoughts on paper
so just ignore my writing caper
have to be at the doctor at 9
so better relax my nind
will check in when i get back hope to have enough info to not make a joke
this doesn't make sense but neither do i
so just read it and sit down and cry
for now will tell you bye
and go close my sleepy eyes.
hugs to both of you
your friendship to me is true
Aug 13, 2009
Oh my poor suetta, how much more can you take

To daily make a rhyme,
Enjoy where you are in seasons of time,
You will then have plenty of time to make lots of rhymes.

Now winter is here and I am having a ball.
My life is full of love, family, and friends,
I will live it fully until the end.
I will rhyme daily on here
If someone will answer without any fear.
Friends here are super great
I glad I have them to keep me straight.
Have a wonderful day

good morning all a big hello
could not sleep so to my computer i did go.
rhyming words are coming slow
my brain is not yet had time to go.
hit the wrong key and almost posted early
this rhyme is getting a little squirrely.
guess i should go back and try to sleep
before this poem gets way to deep.
drop by and join a poem with me
don't want to get stung by a bee.
it is late and i am not thinking well
you can tell by the way this poem would not sell
will talk and rhyme more later
got to go feed the alligator.
Apr 16, 2010
Just popped in to say hello
And here I see good rhymes on show
You ladies here are oh so clever
I'll give it a try with much endeavor
BB I hope your alligator got fed
I'm sure I'd approach him with dread
Had a busy day at work today
But the weekend is on it's way
Looking forward to a relaxing time
Sure do hope the sun will shine
It seems strange to hear you say it's morning
Nightime has arrived here with out a warning.
Nearly time to go to hit the sack
But never fear I'll be back
Tomorrow is another day
to visit SBF & play
Night all
Hugs Mary
Apr 16, 2010

Apr 16, 2010
BB's Memories
good night sleep tight
don't let the bed bugs bite,
haven't thought of that in years.
it almost brings a tear.
glad you got my note
i wrote it while my hubby was feeding the goats.
they are snow white
and the little ones really like to fight.
they are tiny in size
we have 22 of them to my surprise.
we used to have cows, chickens, and pigs.
but gave them all up and got goats who eats figs.
that is all true though is sounds quite silly,
if you don't believe me just ask my husband billy.
gotta get going so the night can start flowing
morning will come and it won't be snowing.
to you carol i send hugs and rhymes
to keep you happy until the end of time.
Apr 17, 2010
BB's Memories
just a short note to all who read this thread,
it is nice to hear a rhyme before going to bed.
so feel free to join the fun,
and help us rhyme til the rising of the sun.
SBF members are really artistic and sweet,
but rhyming is also fun and neat
we can do both if i could type
this simple rhyme has taken quite a swipe.
just do the best you can
but if the weather is hot,
sit under a fan
hugs brenda

Good evening Lynne
How have you been
Sounds like you could use some money,
Sending one to college is not funny,
It's great for her to gain the knowledge,
But bad for you so go to the fridge,
Have no idea what that means,
Just trying to rhyme makes me scream.
The weekend is ending
and my rhyme to you I am sending.
Enjoy your week and scrap a lot.
join the challenge of Polka Dot.
Maybe Carol will join the party
and send a rhyme to get us started.
hugs to you both
Apr 18, 2010
Just popped in to say hello
It's afternoon here don't you know
I am feeling really lazy
& my mind is getting hazy
Have to make a cup of tea
See if it will motivate me
Lots & lots of work to do
I'd rather be scrapping Boohoo
Not long until I go home
Wish I didn't have to roam
After dinner it's time for scrappy!
And you know that makes me happy
Scrapping this & scrapping that
Unfortunatly can make me fat
Should really go for a walk first
Even if it gives me a thirst
Drink lots of water so they say
Rather drink wine any day
Oh well it's back to work I go
Pushing paper to & fro
Catch you all another day
Thank you all for letting me play
Hugs from NZ Mary
Apr 18, 2010
BB's Memories
Hello Mary, it's early here
Should be in bed but have no fear,
I scrap from dawn til dusk my dear
Get tired of sitting on my ----.
Wish the house would clean itself today
Cause scrapping comes first any way.
I just want to play,
And scrap the time away.
This rhyme is not making sense at all
But anyway I am hving a ball.
Just hope out of the chair I don't fall.
Cause the chair is really tall.
Should go now and try to sleep.
This poem is getting way to deep.
Guess I should try counting sheep.
Then maybe I could go to sleep.
Come again to visit and play
you are welcome any day.
it is fun to rhyme i do say
it helps to pass the time of day.
hugs from brenda
Apr 22, 2010

Just reading your schedule makes me dizzy.
Those grandkids of ours takes of plenty of hours.
Sometimes mine do send me some flowers.
Couldn't do without them for sure,

Get ready to work til half past four.

Sweet Suetta..This is for you!
There was once a lady called Sue
Who had a lot of things to do
She did everything so gladly
And never treated anyone badly
What a GREAT friend!
Our friendship will never end!

BB's Memories
just got home from the doc
i am about ready to look for a rock,
went to a wound care clinic
don't want anymore to be in it.
wanted to scream
but pretended it was just a dream
it was over soon,
wanted to send doc to the moon.
it will all be ok
what can i say
life goes on
or else you are gone.
thanks claudia for your nice words
it is like hearing the chirping of birds
relaxes the soul
and makes you feel whole.
will write more later tonight
my house is a fright
laundry to do
or my name is not sue.
Aug 18, 2010
Suetta, You are really so SWEET!
A friend I'd like to meet!
You are such a DARLING!
So very nice and charming!

Thanks for the kind description of me,
If you only knew me you would say 'hee, hee'.
I really do try to be nice,
but sometimes I am cold as ice.
That is really not true,
Can't think of words to rhyme, boo hoo. boo hoo.
Maybe I will come to Italy in my next life,
CAuse travelling now would really cause strife.
Night time has come and gone already
and my house is still unready
The laundry did not do itself
So guess I will finish it myself.
Thanks for your friendship from Italy
You can come to Texas and we can act silly.
Take care of you and keep on scrapping and rhyming
And i will try to keep on singing and signing.
Aug 19, 2010

good morning to you grammie dear
is so good to hear you cheer.
still going to doctors steady
would like to stop, i sure am ready
doctors are part of life when old
but going to them is taking all my gold
still not walking steady
but for a wheel chair i am not ready
the kids were here from arizona
when back last night to their homea
the little one and my sister cried
their bond to each other is really tied.
i am still scrapping
it keeps my hands a tappping
did a 60 page wedding album
to make one bigger would be really dumb.
this one is green and blue
it turned out beautiful, this is true
not on the computer very much
the keyboard is hard to touch
will check in daily to see if you have written a rhyme
will always answer in due time
going back to bed for a short snooze
in the meantime stay off the booze
hugs to you and thoughts of frienships
hope you like my little quip.
Oct 4, 2010
It's nice to see the members
amusing us with rhyme
It gives us all a little break
from scrappin' all the time
I don't make paper pages
It takes a lot of dough
when i can get it all for free
from scrapbook flair 'ya know?
I started using all your sets
to make a special date book
but now I'm scanning photos
to fit the designer's look
My friends all ooh and aah
They think I'm the cats meow
but you and I know that SBF
makes it all easy somehow.
Oct 5, 2010
BB's Memories
you are so right about SBF
it keeps us flying on air.
thanks for joining us here
helps keeps all friends near
gotta go for now
will come back later somehow
Oct 6, 2010
well well well here I am just checkin to see what I have missed
since I have been AWOL for a while
but I always come back with a smile
been busy as a bird dog chasing flee's
but my husband illness brought me to my knee's
he has been in the hospital since the middle of Oct....
waiting to see what is going to come of this...
this is the results of to many years of smoking... now there is lung problems galory
what a horror... it is hard to watch not sure how much more
okay suetta so glad you are doing so good
you keep the sister hood going... I will be back when I can.... will try to often but am at the hosp more than not
which isn't real hot...but you do what you gota do... take care I know I'm missing lenk to the pair...
Nov 5, 2010
This is the first time I've dropped in here
I'm brand new at this & I fear
That I will break this awesome chain
& all of you will be raising Cain!
Yes, this is a short one
I'm not used to this,
Please let me know if I missed
The point of this funny game
And I'll quietly go back from where I came

Scrapping Grammie and DitziB.
The two of you plus me makes three
So keep on rhyming, glory be

Any rhyme will be just fine
you can see a brand new chime
So long for now you two
I have supper to cook and brew
in fact it will probably be stew
hope it taste good when i am through
hugs suetta
Nov 6, 2010
I'm working on one.
If they didn't expect me to work at the office, by now I'd be done
Nov 8, 2010
I'm so happy I don't have to cook anymore
I always considered it such a huge chore
Now since I work all day
I seldom eat at home anyway
Breakfast & lunch I have at work
Most of my silverware is here…knives, spoons & forks
"Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner?" they say
For years I did, but now NO WAY!
Nov 8, 2010
Turkey Day, Turkey Day means lots of food
The family all together in a jovial mood
With laughter in our heart and smiles on our faces
We gather to give thanks as we sit at the table in our places
As prayers are said and blessings sent above
Most of all we pray for everyone to feel love
To all my friends here and every where I send love, peace, and many blessing from my family
Nov 25, 2010
BB's Memories
Well, you two said it best,
Thanksgiving is time to eat and rest.
We did not follow tradition this year,
The turkeys round here had nothing to fear.
We went with beans and hash browns
sausage and rice
It really did turn out nice,.
Then for dessert I won't even say,
But far to many to even weigh.
Good to have friends around the world
Keeps my head spinning and in a whirl.
Have a great day you two
So glad to hear from both of you.
hugs and more hugs.
Nov 25, 2010
well it has been a while... but nothing to smile about....
it hasnt been a good two month..
and I have a hunch that the rest isnt going to be easy... glad all had a nice holiday... and the turkey was spared...we had ham, it was real purky
well going to get going trying to get into the christmas spirte.. not going to be easy either...
but i will take a breather when i have a chance...it is going to be a kick in the pants
nite hope you all have a great christmas
you are in my thoughts, need to go water the pots... lolol

Carol, sorry to hear your news,
It sounds like you have the blues,
I know it is more than meets the eye,
Hope it all gets better bye and bye,
Is there anything your friends can do
We are glad to help you make it thru
Just let us help to bear your pain
We all need each other when it rains
Our love we send in email words
A song we send in the chirp of a bird
Keep in touch and let us help you
I love you girl, I really do.
hugs suetta
Dec 11, 2010
suetta thanks for the kindness but didnt say why im so blue... boo hoo...

There once was a queen of the scrap
whose life kinda fell into crap
she had to do stuff
had no time for fluff
but her tongue's still quite able to flap! =) Hi guys!
Dec 22, 2010
LOL! wvscrapqueen,That was great!
Oh how I hate
not having enough time
to stop in here more often to rhyme
Scrappin-grammie, I'm so sorry to hear
that you've lost someone so very dear
Like Suetta said,we're here for you

Dec 22, 2010

BB's Memories
WOW you beat me this time
I am doing just fine
Are things going well for you
I should have sent you a flower or 2.
I notice others have rhymed
I should have taken the time
No good excuses for not being here
No words I can find for bringing good cheer.
Have had a great day
The Parkinson has not had its way.
Hope tomorrow is the same
Can do a lot of scrapping when sane.
Have posted a few pages this week,
Nothing in return do I seek.
just love to scrap and view friends pages.
Hope to learn more as the time rages
I am working on a wedding album
The colors are blue and green (Sounds glum)
But have to say it is beautiful
and elegant,
So am enjoying the fun in decorating it.
Lots of ribbon and lace
I have worked at a pretty fast pace.
The wedding is in May
but have to have it ready before that day.
Will meet again with the bride in March
To make sure we are using the right parch (made that word up to rhyme)
Am out of room so talk to you soon.
Feb 14, 2011

it is always good to see you up and around and busy wearing the crown

no laying around waiting for a peck
we have to get around and earn respect
glad your body is doing you good, wouldnt want you to have to wear a hood, so you dont have to cover up how much you hurt it is better that a squart...lololol (dont know what that means) sounded good so for get the hood...lolol

Maggie Maggie sorry to say
Somehow I missed your visit my way.
Sorry I missed your visit
Some days I am just not with it.
I love your scrapping style
The time you give is really worthwhile.
Besides all the scrapping you do
You help with all questions that come through.
You are loved and respected by me
Your talent, friendship, and knowledge bring glee.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with all
You can be proud and stand up tall.
Must go now back to work
My house cleaning I cannot shirk.
Computer Geek (Maggie) is coming tomorrow.
Her talents and energy I try to follow.
She keeps me busy and my mind in a tizzy
She is my SBF friend and angel delight
Her visits always fill me with delight.
One day maybe you and I can meet
Meeting you would be a real treat.
Must go for now and finish my chores
Before Maggie shows up at my door.
love and hugs

Good morning Carol There is always much more to sayHow do you do?Thought for awhile my rhyming was through.
But here I am just rhyming away
I can always find something else to say.
Hope this finds you well and having fun.
Just keep on rhyming until the setting of the sun.
I keep myself busyjust piddling around
trying to keep from being wheelchair bound.Sometimes it looks like the Parkinsons is winning the fight But I just keep fighting it with all my might.
We all have things we have to go through
So we just keep doing what we have to do.
I't friends like you that keeps me going
our friendship will keep on growing.
It is getting late so guess I will go
your rhyming gives me a golden glow.
hugs suetta

What a sweet surprise when I logged in.
and saw a rhyme where it should have been.
So good to hear your days are "better"
They will never be "best" again but keep on letting time help you mend.
And accept help from me your friend.
The Parkinson is on the back burner
Can't let it win so I keep on learner.
I know that doesn't make sense but it rhymes and that is what I meant.
Take care and keep scrapping. for your memories I will keep on tracking.

So, I am thinking of buying a dog. I have had 2 dogs before, both *****es (I mean female, not bad attitude), and I had not problem with them, but my father, whom I visited once a week when I was a kid, had a male doberman, and the dog had the gross habit of masturbating with his mouth lying on the carpet below the living room table.
I guess for most people that is not an issue, but I am thinking of only getting a female because I find the sight of a dog masturbating too gross. If any of you had a male dog, what did you do in those cases? tell him, "No! bad boy", hit him with the newspaper, tell him to move to another place so that it gets used to do that thing where he can't be seen?

An error was discovered in the set, and due to the lead time required to make the correction and the short time the Occasions Mini is available, making the correction is not feasible. We apologize for the inconvenience. (French)
The Stampin' Scrub is now on "extended unavailability" due to vendor raw material shortages. Stampin' Up! will be working closely with the vendor but this unexpected shortage may take a few months to rectify.
Update on Punches
December 21, 2010
As you know, we have been working to resolve quality issues with the Ornament Punch (item 119847) and the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch (item 118874). We want to update you on the status of these punches. Please note that because the quality issues are different for each punch, we have different plans for dealing with each punch.
2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch We are currently testing new punch samples from our vendor. We are working as quickly as possible to complete testing. After we have completed testing and have approved modifications to the punch, we will begin production. When we have more information, we will let you know when these punches will be available to order.
Ornament PunchWe are currently inspecting the inventory we have in our warehouse to ensure that the punches we have in stock are working correctly. After we are satisfied with the quality of the inventory we have in stock, punches will be available to order.
We have been asked if the quality problems are due to the new body style and the punch changeover. We want to assure you and your customers that these quality issues are not related to the new body style; instead, individual metal pieces inside the punches are defective. These parts were also part of the old body style, and the defective parts are different for each punch.
We thank you for your patience as we strive to ensure that the products we sell are of the highest quality and value. We will update you on our progress as we work through these issues.

Reviews for Dead Space (EU)
Noone can hear you scream (except the neighbours)AkiMatti | May 7, 2014 | See all AkiMatti's reviews »
In this game you are on a space station, most times alone and ambushed by creatures who want to suck your spine out of your neck. Sometimes the lights go out, sometimes you have no room to manoeuvre, sometimes you just are too startled to react. But you will die in horrifying ways in this game. You will anticipate it, you fear for it but it will still get you. Those things are hideous. Yeah, you can class this as a horror game, and a well executed one. That should tip you whether this game is for you or not.
In space, no one can hear you crying in the cornerSinisterDragon | March 15, 2014 | See all SinisterDragon's reviews »
Never have I been so terrified yet so entertained at the same time. The atmosphere in this game is very well made. As you wander around the ship you never feel safe. Not even for a moment. The sound design has done a great job of constantly making you feel like you are being followed and that death is just behind you. Many people say that Dead Space isn't TRULY scary because its just jump scares. Well believe me when I say that they do jump scares right. The game will make you walk past a vent once or twice and have an enemy jump out but the third time nothing will happen, or the fourth time but as soon as you feel safe the fifth one reminds you to always be on your guard. This game keeps you on your toes and tries to make you feel safe before tearing that feeling away from you. You never have enough ammo and the save stations are always just too far away and causes you to dread every encounter and every time you survive the feeling of accomplishment grows bigger (as do the enemies) As someone who is too scared to play horror games normally, I will say that the sheer amount of fun I had playing this game was enough for me to fight through the fear as I never wanted to stop playing.

You take the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer who travels aboard a shuttle named Kellion to a ship, called the USG Ishimura, referred to as a 'planet cracker'. While aboard the Ishimura, Clarke (the player character) must traverse the ship from deck to deck and repair certain objects, usually machinery, all the while battling strange creatures called necromorphs and finding out what happened aboard the ship, which involves religious fanaticism and a strange object referred to as the Marker. The theme and gameplay are both similar to System Shock 2, although the classic inventory system isn't present. In fact, I find the HUD in Dead Space to be rather minimalist. The player doesn't rely on conventional weaponry, but instead weapons that are made by finding schematics and downloading them at stores that are found throughout the ship, similar to Fallout 3 or BioShock. The player can also modify these weapons at upgrade stations to make them more powerful, like changing their ammo capacity, damage capabilities, and reload time. Other abilities that the player has are stasis, which slows down moving objects including enemies, and kinesis, which allows the player to move objects out of the way, or throw them. Load times are quite swift, with animations showing during the time is takes to pass from one section of the ship to the next. The menu system is unique as far as games go, with the menus having a holographic look just like many of the prompts in the game. The sound in the game is used to good effect, with many an occasion that will have you wondering whether it is the ship settling or an imminent attack by one of the enemies. There are also unique sound distortion effects such as when the player is in a vacuum, resulting in a muted sound perforated by the sound of gunfire and footsteps. The controls in Dead Space are quite smooth as far as movement controls are concerned, but there are a few niggling issues I have with the game. There are two main sets of controls, one being operated with the right mouse button depressed, and the other not. In combat situations this can lead to a bit of frustration. The camera is also a bit of a letdown. The game relies on an over-the-shoulder third person type camera, like in Resident Evil 5. You have to increase the mouse sensitivity enormously just to be able to turn the character around. Overall, this game is worth a try. It has its moments and is certainly one of the scarier games to be released in recent memory.

DS is one of the best horror games I ever played.If you watched John Carpenter`s horror movies and you liked em,youll love DS.It has this thick,intense and disturbing atmosphere written all over it,from the intro(starting with "tinkle,tinkle little star")to the outro.Gameplay is fun(you have to cut the limbs of your opponents to kill em)but I dont recomend a gamepad,cause it needs precise shooting.Sounds and acting are top notch. If you havent try it yet,do so you wont regret.
Space sure is one scary placecuneytarkin | Oct. 31, 2013 | See all cuneytarkin's reviews »
Ever since Alien, space sure have been a scary place. Dead Space knows this, and takes advantage of it by throwing nightmare upon nightmare in your face, while you're trapped in the middle of nowhere. The game is only truly scary in the beginning, until you know what you are facing. Twisted creatures are not as frightening as the unknown, as we all know. Besides that, Dead Space boasts a good gameplay, telling a story that's kinda well-written and showing you that space is still scary.
Great gameAlfa8789 | Oct. 29, 2013 | See all Alfa8789's reviews »
Very high quality product from Electronic Arts. Game developers clearly draws inspiration from the films "Alien" by Ridley Scott and "The Thing" by John Carpenter. The atmosphere is incredible, the first minutes of total immersion in the game world. I do not remember so much in the style of atmospheric Sci-Fi games, can only be the Aliens versus Predators 2. Very interesting design of the spacecraft, all very realistic, all in their places. Interesting system upgrades, original weapon. As far as the Necromorphs, I have never been so much fun to dismember, burn and trample into the meat of an aggressive alien biomass. Personally, I was not scared to play, the game is not like horror, but kept in constant tension to the very end of the game
Scary atmosphererjb789 | Sept. 24, 2013 | See all rjb789's reviews »
This game is a great example of horror done right. The atmosphere provides a perfect backdrop for terrifying scares and shocks whilst the gory combat and cleverly implemented upgrade system adds depth to the story. Unfortunately as you progress it becomes easier to anticipate when you will be "scared". This only becomes a problem far into the game though so you will still get your fair share of scared. In short, if you like horror games go pick this up!
Rebirth of horrorg_reaper1666 | Aug. 27, 2013 | See all g_reaper1666's reviews »
This is a game in which you have make your way through a alien zombie infested spaceship. The game seems to encourage you to form attachments to the game characters, unlike other games where you can open your inventory and map to be able to catch a break within this game that is not possible. This helps to immerse you into the game because of the fact that you need to find a clear spot to be able to check your items. This is why it is best to set hotkeys up for the different items without which you might find yourself running low on health and decide to risk opening your inventory to try and save yourself. The weapons in this game also have alternate forms such as the assault rifle which if you are surrounded can fire around you which can clear the area to give you some breathing room. the best weapon in the game in my opinion is the plasma cutter which is best at dismembering your enemy and quickly and efficiently taking them down. even a few years after its release the graphics of the game meet modern standards because of the dark lighting setup in alot of the levels which means that you will not always be able to see too far which is what you expect in a damaged spaceship. This is a game i would recommend anyone who is into horror and sci-fi games to try.
A lot of JumpScares. Great atmosphere.jackyboi1014 | June 20, 2013 | See all jackyboi1014's reviews »
Dead Space is an incredible game and a real surprise hit.You can clearly see the painstaking detail that went into creating it's menus, environment and character animations.This is probably the game with the highest production values that I've come across in recent times and just plays great. Gaming dynamics like dismemberment, holographic displays that keep you in the game even when accessing inventory and selective upgrading of your weapons always keeps the player interested. Plus I a have never seen such ridiculous amounts of gore like this, limbs fly all over the place and blood flows like water. On the difficulty side I'd say you'll have to play the game on Hard otherwise it might be slightly too easy. Talking about the length of the game well, I finished it in about 15 hours and I was taking my time. Replayability factor is definitely there though, because after you finish the game, you unlock some goodies for a second play through and also unlock impossible difficulty. Controls were a non issue for me, if you've played something like Mass Effect then you'll have a good idea of how it handles. In closing, Dead Space is a must play for any fans of gaming, particulary those that like a Sci-Fi horror setting .
Over-Hyped, but not badPlasros | June 18, 2013 | See all Plasros's reviews »
A triumph of style and gimmicks over substance. There is not much going on here except for shooting monsters repeatedly. An overly generous person would call both the setting and the storyline minimal, that same person would call it predictable and sometimes a little bit scary. Having said that, some of the weapons are good, some of the gimmicks keep you interested and you do actually want to escape the damn place. So I managed to finish it and just about got my money's worth. I cannot envisage a scenario whereby I'd ever play it again and would only recommend it to horror maniacs who have no more than £10 to spare and nothing better to do.
Come to get scared, stay for the atmosphereTronLight | May 24, 2013 | See all TronLight's reviews »
Depending of what kind of person you are, Dead Space can be two things: 1) Terribly scary or 2) Not scary at all. Because, no, Dead Space is no Silent Hill, or Amnesia., it won't try to scare you with psychological games. It will, instead, rely on many "jump-scare", that, again, depending of what kind of person you are, will always scare you or just for the first levels. The main problem is that by half of the game, you will already know all the tricks, you will be able to tell where monsters will spawn as soon as you set foot in a room. Plus, the abundance of ammunitions and health-pack doesn't really help getting scared. And if you play this on PC, aiming for legs and arms will be really easy, so crippling monsters will be really easy. But, beside the non-scaryness, the game is very solid. The atmosphere is really great, you'll be stucked on this spaceship full of deformed aliens that will try to kill you at your every step, giving the setting a very Alien-esque styile. Locations may become a little repetitive, because you're in this big ship, but not so much you'll want to stop playing. Gameplay is good, every weapon has 2 fire mode. Personally, I played the game only with the Plasma Cutter (the first weapon you get), because it's probably the most usefull. Isaac is not agile nor fast because of the suit his wearing, and this only adds to the pressing sensation you'll have, that you are the pray, not the hunter. To increase the tension I suggest that you play at an higher difficulty than Normal. All things considered, Dead Space is a very good game.
Welcome Isaac Clarke aboard the USG IshimuraGuardian412 | Jan. 30, 2013 | See all Guardian412's reviews »
A missing planet cracker ship, a tiny ship with a crew of five to the rescue, a silent engineer in a desperate search for his lost love, and deadly, scary monsters as welcoming party as you step aboard the ghost ship USG Ishimura. Maybe this is how I can describe Dead Space's story the best. As Isaac Clarke, the silent protagonist of the game (Presumably he has a sore throat in this episode as he can speak well in Dead Space 2), you have to find your love, Nicole, while you must learn the truth behind the xenomorph infestation plaging the Ishimura, but foremost you must find a way to leave the deadly ship alive and in one piece, which is not an easy task. Dead Space is a horror game and it is scary at first, but honestly I've met and played with scarier games in my lifetime. Unfortunately the the scary factor of the game is becoming way too predictible as you're progressing with the storyline and the elimination of the necromorphs will become a routine task, especially during the last chapters of the game. The storyline is well told, the narration is great and the game has enough twists to keep you entertained from the beginning to the end. One of my favorite feature in the game was the H.U.D.s unique presentation, which is definitely new and a great improvement. The weapons, what you may upgrade by time, are also very-very unique comparing to other games and Dead Space is one of the very few games where you'll love and use the basic weapons just much as you'll use the more powerful ones you'll find later in the game. The graphics of the game is great, however its a bit repetative, but it fits well for the planet cracker ship Ishimura. Dead Space is a horror game, one of the bests in the genre. I also finished it about three times since I have it. But it has some flaws, namely the level design and the tasks you have to complete, which is making the game a bit repetative at times. Still, if you love horror and scary games, Dead Space is your game as its one of the finest in the genre with a unique story, and it is highly-highly recommended for both horror and science fiction fans.
A great horror gameStebsis | Jan. 29, 2013 | See all Stebsis's reviews »
You play as Isaac Clarke who's sent to repair a mining vessel Ishimura. But soon when you arrive you notice that something is very wrong. It becomes a great survival horror game with lots of thrills and scary moments. You fight against alien monsters who've infested about the whole crew of Ishimura. The combat works a bit differently from standard third person shooter. The first thing you'll notice is that the game doesn't pause when you open your inventory. Everything happens in real time and it makes some really intense moments when you don't know what's gonna happen. Second is that you don't kill the aliens by shooting them just in the head or torso like you normally would think and do. You need to strategically dismember the alien limbs. Dismembering legs makes them fall down and crawl towards you a bit slower which is always the best choise. All enemy types have a little different places what you want to shoot, like a little monster with 3 tentacles growing out of it or your standard, human shaped monster. There are lots of great guns to choose from, and they're not your typical grenade launcher, assault rifle etc. Isaac Clarke isn't a soldier, he's a technician and weapons reflect on that. Your first weapon, a cutting tool which can take out enemy limbs easily. You have a bit more traditional assault rifle. There's also a saw gun that shoots saw blades or you can kind of levitate the saw and cut through everything in front of you. Graphics and atmosphere are great, lighting effects are superb and the space ship looks great and futuristic, but areas tend to start look a bit same after a while. Dead Space is a really scary game, it makes you nervous to continue it because you never know what kind of trouble waits ahead, but you just want to find out and go on. This is an intense third person survival horror game that any horror fan will love.
A good survival horrorCavalieroscuro | Jan. 14, 2013 | See all Cavalieroscuro's reviews »
I'm not a fan of space location, but Dead Space is for sure a great survival horror, at least on highest difficulties. There are situation that can kill you if you not react first, and enemies are hard to kill because you must dismember them. There are a lots of weapon, but you will use plasma cutter for the majority of the time. The plot is really good, partially ruined by the sequel's one.

This is one of those titles which is unique in it's kind. I really adore this title, it brings not only great atmosphere and scary vibe but amazing gameplay aswell. It's amazing that in this game you'll still be scared out of your socks, even thought you're amoured up with great arsenal. The game does present itself well as there are a lot of different enemies and enough weapons to keep you silent and sweet an entire playthrough long. This game isnt expensive at all on GMG, and I advice if you dont already own the title to pick it up!

I like playing horror games. I like to feel stressful. But not too many games can do that for me. Dead space is definitely one of the most successful ones. Game doesn't let you get relax even for a second. Especially the atmosphere is amazing. And graphics are really really good. I just would like to see different shaped monsters. I don't know, in my opinion they could be better. But that doesn't change the success of this game. If you haven't played yet, you should definitely taste that atmosphere.

Very good atmospheric game at maximum difficulty. The AI of the monsters is not conceived to killing you, first they have to scare you because the will always try to catch you back in order to make you jump. Nevertheless, one big fail is the final boss (game is not needed bosses at all IMHO, but last one is complete dumb). Anyway, very good space horror with a great story that has different interpretations. Remember: play it on higher difficulties.
Dead Space reviewcarlyle | Nov. 25, 2012 | See all carlyle's reviews »
Certainly a prominent feature is the sci-fi, there to explore the length and breadth of a ship extremely desolate, where darkness and blood are master; certainly impact the omnipresence of mutilated bodies and often also written on walls and windows in the vicinity of them: all these features combined with special sound effects give this title a persistent state of anxiety that can turn into fear (very subjective, I is not proven much) during the most hectic of combattimanto. It is under this point of view we will face a large number of enemies quite diverse as fighting style, some alien species are swift and lethal blows sferreranno close, others will be more awkward and try to defeat us with ranged attacks through their tentacles; on our side, we will have a powerful arsenal of fighting constantly updated with components that collect during the patrols that will allow us to get rid of them in various ways, this is because Deda Space has a sophisticated system of dismemberment and we will be able to slow down the ugly beasts hitting the arts or even resorting to "stagnation", an innovative system that allows you to slow down our targets faster for a few seconds. We may seem like a manageable situation too, I invite you to reconsider as potentially problematic considering that the ammunition is not always abound, and that the enemies to come to your counter are not few, with all the consequences used: in fact in some cases we will have to defend punches and kicks, respectively, in an attempt to break up and remove the enemies.
Scary enough for you?V2lentin | Oct. 23, 2012 | See all V2lentin's reviews »
Dead Space may not be the scariest game ever, but it will surely make you jump out of the chair sometimes. You play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer sent to SS Ishimura to investigate a transmission blackout. There, he will find himself on a ship posessed by an alien entity, that turned all the human crew into aliens. From there, is your task to investigate what happened. This game's graphics are good, although some textures don't look very well. The aliens are very well done, looking scary enough to give you the creeps. The sound is very well done, the music and the ambiental sounds creating a scary environment that will make your heart stop sometimes. Isaac isn't talking at all and that may be a good thing after all. You only hear him breathing heavily in vacuum and that is more than enough. From now and then, you'll end up in zero-gravity areas or vacuum that add a new challenge to the game. The enemies have vulnerable points and the accent falls on tactical dismemberment, so you shouldn't aim for the head. Overall, a good game that is really worth buying.

Dead Space is a horror game wtih a excellent atmosphere and horrible monsters that will scare you. Dead Space has an excelent story too, one of the best stories of the recent horror games.The soundtrack is a important thing in this game , because makes you get even deeper into the atmosphere of the game. The graphics are good and the gameplay is great (apart from in the zero-g zones , it can get a bit bad). The game can be a challenge in higher difficulties. It´s a must buy for the people who are trying to find a good horror game.

I usually rate games highly as I only get games I know i'll probably enjoy however when I got this I was taking a bit of a leap of faith, and i'm glad I did. Every game i've ever played of the horror genre has been boring and had a completely uninteresting story until this one. This game is really one of the best RPG's i've ever played, it's got stunning graphics, a tense atmosphere, intense combat and a great story. Really, what more could you want? I would recommend this game over Dead Space 2 even now as it's far better and I hope Dead Space 3 gets back on track for February 8th 2013.

Dead Space doesn't really have much scares, it is all about the tension and the atmosphere. Isaac, the protagonist, is a silent character, which helps the immersion and the tension. It is not the best horror game but it manages to have an engaging story and gameplay while maintaining a good diversity. The campaign it's about 10 hours long and manages to never get too repetitive. A good game, with a nice horror atmosphere, recommended.

This title is a very fun and scaring sci-fi action game. The objective of the game is to survive the hordes of monster and aberration and escape the Ishimura. The gameplay is typical of a third person shooter with all the characteristics element of a survival horror, in particular the presence of a low amount of resources and ammos we must manage to survive. The main elements of this game is the possibility to dismember the enemy: with this feature we can try for example to slow down our enemies cutting off their leg . If we try to aim to some parts of the body we can spare some ammo and be more effective in defeating the enemy. Dead Space has a solid gameplay, but the best characteristic of this game are the horror elements:I can assure you that if you play this game in a dark room and when there's no noise you will be scared at each step. I think that this is one of the few games released in the last year that is able to scare you
Very atmospheric horrorCynaris | July 13, 2012 | See all Cynaris's reviews »
Dead Space is a truly frightening horror game. Is it at least on the first playthrough. Dark, narrow corridors await the player with disturbing creatures waiting for you to cross their way. These are called Necromorphs, and throughout the game you uncover what are they doing on the ship where you are supposed to make some repairs. Of course you aren't going to repair objects in this game, as nothing goes according to plan. Faithfully to the name of the developers, the game features visceral third person combat, dismemberment, and lots of gore to be had. Good visuals, atmospheric music sets up the mood and scares well. Bloodthirsty savages: this is your game.
Spine chillsdantevelibc | June 15, 2012 | See all dantevelibc's reviews »
Dead Space is one of last survival horror games that perfectly blends action and scares. We are in the shoes of engineer looking for his loved one on an abandoned "Planet-cracker" type of spaceship. At beginning everything is too quiet and then the horror starts. We fight strange Necromorphs and learn about weird religion. Story is really good and although our hero is mute whole time we can easily connect with his emotions. Gameplay is a bit similar to Resident Evil 4 but with focus on disembodiment instead of pure headshots. We have to cut limbs off the enemies to kill them. Dead Space is really creepy and everyone should try it as one of best new IP created during this generation of consoles.
An almost truly terrifying sci-fi horror gameFreeMan85 | Nov. 3, 2011 | See all FreeMan85's reviews »
Dead Space follows the traditional horror elements: deserted ship, a small rescue crew, a ghost ship with some spooky elements then the slaughter begins. Our hero Isaac Clarke (must be maded by the names of Isaac Asimov and Artur Clarke) a space engineer who came with the repair crew who received a distress call from the USG Ishimura. His girlfriend also serve on the ship and she send him a message. Even the landing goes smooth on the ghost ship, but after that the terror is starts. Soon only Isaac and two main officer stays alive. Abadoned, alone and terrified. And you only weapons is your basic cutter tool. Which makes things harder these monsters simply don't want to die... easily. So aim their limbs or heads and try to cut them off. Or step on them, if you can. The gameplay is kinda survival and fix that and this type a game. You can explore the whole ship from the bridge to engineer and vice versa. There are boss fights and tricky puzzle like games. Sometypes only need find a key card, sometime some special stuff. Of course you can buy weapons, suit, ammo and medicine in shops by collected money or solded special items (which can be found across the ship). You can also upgrade your suit and weapons with collectable points. The fun parts when you enter a zero-G room and you can long jump from wall to wall. And there rooms without pressure, is less fun. Your suit holds some oxygen, but not much. You can pick up oxygen cans of course and use when you need it. Of course the monsters don't need air, so they can attack even when you at the ship hull. And there will be boss fights with really big monsters. Sometimes you will feel: they can't be beaten. The game graphics is... okay. Not so bad bad, but I feeled something is missing. Maybe better lighting effects or some bloom. And maybe needs to set the in-game brightness a bit lower, to feel the colors be more... stronger and the game darker. Anyway, the game is optimized very well and runs smooth even with all effects. The sounds is awesome: the monsters, the automatic ship voices in the background, the crawlings in everywhere and when you hear of some heavy steel stuff falling down in a big room... it's truly awesome feeling. Even with a simple 2.1 sound system. The voice-acting is good, only 2-3 characters in the game whos talking anyway, cause our hero is silent like Gordon Freeman. Well, Dead Space a better and creepier sci-fi horror game, then Doom3. It's not that dramatic and "now I'm gonna scar you, boo!" type a game. Sadly some of the story elements are clichés and maybe you know the truh at the half way, but still a well written story and universe. Warning! If you disturbed by the screenshots, don't buy this game. You gonna see some very nasty and disgusting... things.

After watching the interview, I couldn't help but think: "Does Jessica really speak Spanish? Or were those questions given to her through a translator?
Not that it's hard to follow the interviewer's questions if you know some basic Spanish, but I just found it really odd that the questions were in Spanish, but not the answers…

About the album
Ravel composed his highly imaginative piano suite Miroirs in 1904-05 after he had joined the Société des Apaches, a group of ground-breaking young musicians, composers, music critics, poets, writers and painters, among them great names like Igor Stravinsky, Florent Schmitt, Manuel de Falla and Maurice Delage. It was Ravel who proposed to adopt the main theme of the first movement of Borodin's Second Symphony as the society's musical dictum, a suggestion all members gladly accepted. Miroirs is a musical tribute to his fellow 'Apaches' or 'hooligans': each of the five movements is dedicated to one of the members.
The eight short pieces that comprise Schumann's Kreisleriana not only prove the point of highest musical imagination, but each individual movement is also a prime example of formal discipline and structural coherence within the cycle as a whole. It is no coincidence that Schumann studied Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier intensively when working on the Kreisleriana. The work's tonal scheme shares one simple, unifying harmonic factor: the related keys of the 'daemonic' G minor and the rather gentle B flat major underpin six of the eight movements.
Alexander Scriabin's earliest compositions, most of them for solo piano, clearly demonstrate his adoration of Chopin, where his first two symphonies are still strongly liaised with Tchaikovsky's. And like both these composers also Scriabin excelled in creating rich and colourful textures and sonorities. But it was Scriabin's later fascination for Wagner, Liszt and Nietzsche, together with that mystic domain of theosophy and poetic symbolism that gradually put up a quite powerful momentum in his creative life. It all culminated in his greatest of all visions, that he would be able to establish an all-embracing, eternal and super human art form. (from the linernotes of this CD written by Aart van der Wal)
The imagination, each on another level, is an important theme in all of the works on this CD. Alexei Volodin is a master in creating the right atmosphere for these imaginative works of all three composers. Although he is a virtuoso, he is even more a pianist who can dive deep into the inner world of the composer and his work. Combined with his own inner depth this results in performances that leave a lasting impression on the listener.

text: The Albemarle Supervisors have instructed their staff to work with VDOT on the possibility of banning larger trucks on a stretch of Earlysville Road. White Hall Supervisor Ann Mallek (pictured) has been fielding complaints for years about big rig traffic on that road, which is also known as Route 743. The supervisors are most interested in the stretch of Earlysville Road from the Rock Store to Dickerson Road. Some neighborhoods on Earlysville Road have had a petition campaign to garner support for a ban on larger rigs in that part of the county.
