Founded under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, UMass Amherst has long been dedicated to the study and teaching of agriculture and the natural sciences. One of two land grant institutions in the Commonwealth (along with MIT), the university has played an important role in the development of scientific agriculture in New England and has been a major factor in agricultural instruction through its classes and extension service.
SCUA's collections contain a wealth of information on the history of agriculture and related fields, including horticulture, botany, entomology, animal husbandry, gardening, and landscape design. The strength of the collection lies in documenting the development of American agricultural sciences with an emphasis upon the northeastern states, but it is supplemented with numerous works on British, French, and German agriculture. Adding additional depth are the records of the several departments at UMass Amherst charged with instruction in the agricultural sciences and the papers of individual agricultural educators.
Currently, SCUA is particularly interested in documenting the growth of organic agriculture, heritage breeds, and the practices of sustainable living.

University of Massachusetts Amherst. Chancellor
University of Massachusetts Amherst. Chancellor, 1885-2007.
Call no.: RG 004
The position of Chancellor for the Amherst Campus was created in 1970, when the office of the University President was given oversight of the entire UMass system. The Chancellor is the chief administrative officer of the campus and is responsible for carrying out policies and procedures as established by the Board of Trustees and the University President. He or she coordinates the major administrative units of the campus, assumes responsibility for campus-wide strategic planning and, in particular, guides activities that involve different administrative units, including the budget, enrollment management, facilities planning, and some labor relations.
The Chancellor's records include information on the University budget (1908-2007), the administrative records of individual Chancellors, and records documenting the activities of the Chancellor's Office. Since 1983, most Chancellors have issued the annual Chancellor's Report, which addresses the state of the campus and special topics such as student needs, the future of the University, relationships with the Commonwealth, and budget issues. The papers of individual Chancellors are filed separately in UMarmot under the individual's name.

Chapter SeventeenPrint this Page
Keira didn't have much to pack.
It took her only a few minutes to retrieve her toiletries and fold the clothes she'd worn the day before. But standing in Ryan's bedroom where the sheets were still rumpled from the night they shared gave her pause. They'd spent long hours in that bed. Every time she'd said she should get up, Ryan had pulled her back under the covers, insisting she'd have jet lag if she didn't rest more. Of course, his idea of rest had been pleasurable in the extreme.
Even after eight years, he could still make her feel like a carefree college coed. How could he be such a corporate-minded shark on one hand and so down-to-earth and caring on the other?
Sinking to the bed, she clutched her small overnight bag and smoothed her hand over a pillow, stirring his scent and making her heart ache.
She'd known coming back to the States would be a risk. Not because she worried about running into her family, who'd written her off as a black sheep long ago. No, she'd known that spending so much time with Ryan and getting close to him would be a risk to her heart.
As if called by her thoughts, he stood in the doorway, a shoulder leaning into the frame. He watched her from across the room, not making a move to come closer.
"I'm ready." Standing, she tried not to think about her time in the big four-poster bedor in Ryan's arms. "Did you call for a cab or should I?"
Just asking made her feel unsteady. But getting back to her studentsher real lifewould make everything right again. Those kids were her world.
And yet, while they'd always been more than enough in the past, she knew after this time with Ryan there would be a space in her life that couldn't be filled.
"I called. The car should be here in twenty minutes." He took a step into the room. "Can I tell you something before you go?"
She nodded, too weary and heartsore to sit in cold silence with a man she'd come to care about more than she ever would have guessed she could in such a short amount of time. Then again, maybe she'd never let go of him eight years ago. Seeing him again had just brought all the old feelings to the surface and magnified them.
He dropped onto the edge of the big bed, the only furniture in the room besides the flat screen mounted to one wall.
"I came to Fiji for you."
On the other side of the bed, Keira felt her knees give way and she ended up seated across from him, a sea of blankets and misunderstandings between them.
"You what?" She must have misheard him.
"What happened with your school was a regrettable byproduct of my actions, it was never intentional." He opened a nightstand drawer and pulled out a travel guide to Fiji. "But I did look for a hotel to buy in Fiji because I knew you were teaching there. I'd planned to seek you out once I got the wheels in motion at the Venus."
Stunned, Keira wasn't sure what to think. She brushed a hand across the cover of the book, tracing the pictures of palm trees and tropical birds.
"You've been looking for me?" She'd been globe-hopping since the first time they'd met. "How did you know"
"I haven't kept tabs on you or anything, but I've scanned the internet a few times over the years to see if your name popped up. About six months ago, after a bad breakup, I realized that my good memories of you had lasted longer than any of my relationships."
"You planned all this. Right from the beginning." She thought about the carefully arranged dinner on the water. The candlelit lanterns and jasmine petals on the bed. "You let me believe you were as surprised to see me as I was to see you."
"And I was surprised. I knew you taught in Fiji, but not where. It was only when you showed up threatening to picket that I remembered seeing the name of the school on my list of frozen accounts for the hotel."
"But you never thought of telling me the truth?" The knowledge felt like a spear to the heart. "I thought we'd grown so close. That we were having so much fun. Why did you even bring me all the way to Cape Cod, all the way to your home? Was that some kind of seduction game for you?"
Indignant, she jumped to her feet again, ready to walk back to the airfield herself.
"Hell, no." Ryan planted himself between her and the doorway, his green eyes darker than she'd ever seen. "I brought you here because I'm in love with you."

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- Four months after President Obama issued a Presidential disaster declaration, officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have completed their work in Houston County. Since a mid-June storm and tornado caused damage in Houston County, federal officials have been working in partnership with officials from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to help communities rebuild.
In Houston County, FEMA has obligated more than $1.2 million in federal funding. The largest project FEMA funded was repair to Christianson Hill Road in Money Creek Township, where flooding eroded the embankment and forced closure of the road.
"While we have completed most of our public assistance work in Houston County, FEMA continues to work in Minnesota helping communities recover and preparing communities for the next disaster," said Larry Sommers, federal coordinating officer. "We've made sure communities know that though the majority of our work is complete, FEMA is just a phone call away for communities who need guidance."
FEMA's Public Assistance program, FEMA funds at least 75 percent of the cost of eligible work by local governments and some private non-profits.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Dogs have led rescuers to the body of a man buried in an avalanche Monday near the Loveland Ski Area.
Rescuers found the body about 2:15 Tuesday afternoon after probing
an area search dogs had pointed out.
About 30 people had been searching for the 47-year-old snowshoer
from Ken Caryl Ranch south of Denver.
Sheriff's deputies are photographing the area and evaluating the
scene before removing the man's body.
His name has not been released.
He was snowshoeing with a friend in a horizontal descent when
the slide broke loose in two places about 3:30 Monday afternoon.
Neither man was wearing an avalanche beacon.

Hi Troublemakr: i respect your comments , however ... Having the latest and greatest whether at home or the workplace doesn't mean it "should" work.
Secondly , although this thread is IPhone 5 wifi, other Apple products are also having connectivity issues with respect to IOS 6.
Something has changed in IOS 6 that wasn't transitioned from IOS 5 and has caused these issues.
I respect that fact you also sound older and more experienced than myself in IT, however i believe my comments are valid.
I agree it should work as my companies wifi was fine with ios5 and now I have dramas with my wifi devices no longer connecting and downgrading my firmware on WAPs fixed my issue. I'd also like to point out there is not security degradation in doing this, so I proceeded.
Blame apple for what ever they changed or Blame Wifi vendors for not liasing with Apple for their upcoming Ios6 updates to be more compatible.
They are both to blame and also the hardware manufactures gone in to the development of these apple devices.

Another data point: I was looking at the status screen of my router (running DD-WRT), and the signal it sees from the iPhone5 is consistently 10dB lower than that from other devices (a MBP and 2 iPad2s).
Frustratingly, the wifi just dropped out just now on the i5, as I was fetching email, while the MBP has no hiccups; I'm sitting here with the MBP and iPhone5 (and iPad2) within 6 feet of each other.

Regarding iPhone 5 wifi issues, I reset my phone, changed router settings, tried every suggestion offered by other threads, finally I removed my clear silicon cover. Wow, it worked, wifi now working as it should be with ping of 36 ms download 12.17 Mbps not bad I'm now saying, hopefully this is how wifi will remain.

in response to Bearington13
If removing the case helps, that's a great fix for the short term, but definitely not a long term fix. Wi-fi is supposed to punch through the walls and floors of your house, so it should definitely be able to punch through 1/8" of plastic.
Paul Derby Dec 31, 2012 9:04 AM

In looking at the iFixit "take apart" web page the internal WiFi chip they found was a Murata 339S0171 (Broadcom BCM4334) Wi-Fi module, same as in the Samsung Galaxy S3. A quick search for WiFi problems on the Galaxy S3 shows similar problems on that smartphone, too. There is a lot of speculation about power management being the culprit, but nothing really definitive.
Seems both companies, Apple and Samsung, have some work to do to resolve the WiFi stability and throughput for the customers that use WiFi for both their premier phones. Maybe the end of the holidays will see the right engineering teams back on the job resolving this situation so that all the phones work, not just the subset that happen to stay connected.
In doing some of my testing it looks like the data buffer for WiFi uploads is very small on the iPhone 5 and causes poor upload performance when driving a lot of data through the phone, too.
My phone is working fine after 6.0.2, but I leave it plugged in most of the time and use LTE or 3G most of the time.

A little update on my refund for my ip5 (had two, both faulty, 2nd one with wifi issue).
28 days after apple said refund had happened it appeared back in my AMEX account. I had to contact both parties to query why it was taking so long. AMEX said they had to wait 28 days before they could do anything. BANG on the 28th day my money arrives.
28 days = long time for a refund, whose fault that is?
i dont know, but i'm inclined to think AMEX like to hold onto cash to get a bit of interest.
CRZ24 Dec 31, 2012 10:06 AM
in response to Paul Derby
Hey Paul, that's very interesting. The S3 had WIFI problems since July. I didn't see anything about their WIFI being resolved or still exists?
For the people that finally got a working ip5 replacement, I wonder if the chipset was upgraded or something? Or just a faulty batch?
Paul Derby Dec 31, 2012 12:18 PM
in response to CRZ24
No indication of hardware problems but definitely software improvements needed on both IP5 and Galaxy platforms. With a reset of the device. Since most of the reports show good performance followed by bad performance that is likely software. Hope the engineers are all rested up after the holidays and ready to tackle this challenge!
Seems the non-ideal workaround for those with access to their access point is to degrade from WPA2 auto down to WPA2 down to WPA. WEP is too insecure but will probably work as a degraded alternative.
Deleting stored access points and turning WiFi off then back on and reentering access point settings may give some temporary relief too. That's kind of what some people are indirectly doing when they redo their settings for proxy servers and DNS, even though neither DNS nor changing to auto proxy should matter for maintaining a WiFi connection.
vm23 Dec 31, 2012 1:22 PM
in response to Paul Derby
There is definitely a distance issue. When I am within 10 feet of my wireless router, the WiFi connection on the iphone 5 is perfect (same as my Macbook Air, etc). So, roughly a download speed of 10 Mbps and an upload speed of 1.5 Mbps. This is the same for the iphone 5 & Macbook Air at that location close to the router.
When I move to another room with both devices (about 25 feet and one thin wall), the Macbook Air speed remains exactly the same (Download: 10 Mbps & Upload: 1.5 Mbps). However, on the Iphone 5 download speed drops dramatically & the upload speed remains the same (Download: 0.3 Mbps and choppy signal & Upload: 1.5 Mbps).
I tried the same thing with my wife's Macbook Pro & Iphone 4. Again, within 10 feet both devices have excellent download speeds. When I move to the adjacent room (25 feet), the Macbook Pro speed remain the same buth the Iphone 4 download speed drops to about 3.5 Mbps with unchanged upload speed.
I repeated this 3 times with all 4 devices and it's reproducible every time with the iOS devices (worse with the iphone 5).
Finally, I tried all of the recommendations: resetting the network settings, firmware update, router reboot, turning off bluetooth, removing the case, etc. Very trivial effects, almost no change.
If this doesn't get fixed on the iphone 5 I'm going to need to get two extra airport express units to boost the signal in a 1500 square foot condo.
This doesn't make sense......
Patsywright Dec 31, 2012 1:59 PM

Reset your iPhone and back up from iCloud and see if that help. I could not go 10 feet with out my phone dropping wifi then I reset it and back it up from iCloud. Work a lot better. I know this is a pain but please try it.
SamAust Dec 31, 2012 5:25 PM
in response to vm23
You have the same issue I had. I would get 30 Mbps on my iPhone3, iPhone4, iPad1, iPad3, Android tablet and 4 windows PCs all tested at the same location (about 5 meters from my router). At 5m my iPhone5 was testing at 2 Mbps. (iPhone5 could get 30 Mbps if my iPhone was 30cm from my router) Also same issues at work. I went to speak to the "Genius" at the Apple store who told me there was nothing wrong with my phone and that my 3 month old professionally installed wifi router must be broken. Of course the router company would have tested the router and found that it works with every device in the universe except my new iPhone5 so I doubt they would accept it as their issue.
Anyway, I refused to change any settings on my router (as per thread suggestions) and had Apple give me a new phone. Brand new with no data on it it was testing over 30 Mbps. I have now restored the phone with all of my old apps and music and are still getting over 30 Mbps.
This issue was killing me. As everyone knows this is very frustrating. A phone with dial up speed wifi is useless and was even considering going back to an iPhone 4s or even and Android phone.
All I can say is there seems to be 2 issues with the phone #Issue 1: Has trouble connecting to WiFi - Update to latest firmware and possibly look at changing your router security settings. #Issue 2: Slow speed when moving away from your connected WIFi router - After my experience I can only suggest THIS IS A HARDWARE ISSUE. Apple must have a bad batch of phones. Book an appointment with you local Apple Genius bar and get them to give you a new phone. (FYI - The WiFi will work perfect when is the Apple store and seems to work OK with Apple AirPort Express routers)
I have changed nothing but the phone and now have wifi that is 80 times faster.
I am so glad that this issue is now fixed. Good luck to everyone.

I tried removing my case on my bad iPhone5 and did get a small improvement (at best from 2Mbps up to 8 Mbps). However, after getting my iPhone 5 replaced I can now get over 30Mbps even with my plastic and aluminum case on. I suggest you get another iPhone/iPad device and do a speed test. If your iPhone5 is not geeting the same speed as other devices in the same location, I think there still is an underlying hardware issue.
FYI - The app "Speedtest.net" is a great way to test the speed of your various Apple devices.

@CSauvignon Get you phone replaced by the Apple Store. I have written some other replies with more details, but there is definetly a bad batch of iPhone5's and it looks like we both got one. My new iPhone5 works perfectly.

Results now uploaded to YouTube. Being speed tested are (from left to right) iPhone3Gs, iPhone4 and an iPhone5. This was tested about 5 meters from the wifi router. Please note: I get the same results when each phone tested separately. iPhone3Gs, iPhone4 both have on a cover and the iPhone5 is naked. iPhone5 running 6.0.2 update. http://youtu.be/v8ng44H5TSY
And after I had my phone replaced at the Apple store (iPhone5 also now has a cover on! - same result with cover off)... http://youtu.be/3LUs4BsREI4

Today I am 11w5d (supposedly, I believe the date is off by a week due to how long it took for me to get a BFP) and I had my New OB appointment, which included looking for a heartbeat on the fetal doppler. Well, unfortunately, we couldn't find one. According to my dr, they picked up a reading of 169, but it came in flashes and we couldn't zero in on a heartbeat- except for my own.
I am so worried. I was really looking forward to hearing my baby today and was extremely disappointed that I couldn't hear a thing. Has anyone had a similar experience? My doctor did say it's hit or miss until about 12-13 weeks, especially considering that I am overweight. She didn't seem alarmed, and didn't order an u/s when she didn't get the heartbeat, I believe because of the 169 reading .

Metro in a new, much better editionsegrand | Aug. 31, 2014 | Review of Metro 2033 Redux EU - PC
This is an example of a very well made game in the new version. If someone liked the Metro Last Light in terms of mechanics and graphics, and I think most enjoyed it, now you have the opportunity to play Metro 2033 in such conditions! I myself am delighted with the graphics, all new products have been introduced. Nothing impresses like a thick atmosphere of the underground subway in the new version. It looks really beautiful. Well, we have a great Ranger mode, which significantly increases the level of difficulty for the most demanding. As someone has already played a game in the 2033 primary, it is worth to return to the refreshed version of Redux. It is better in every respect. In the end, the man does not have to pretend to be creeps, but you can eliminate enemies quietly, as terribly lacking in the original game. I was delighted with this world, despite the poor graphics and mechanics. Now we have something really great! Something beautiful and extremely playable! Without a doubt, I will try to do 100% performance in this game.
Ezio welcome againsegrand | June 11, 2014 | Review of Assassins Creed Revelations Uplay - PC
Another adventure of Ezio. This time, in the end we get a different color robes. It is no longer white, and gray, which I think adds amazing climate and is one of my favorite outfits in Assassin's Creed. What can we expect from the game? Those who have played in the previous part of Assassin's Creed, you will notice many similarities to them in Revelations. We get a huge, open world, which we can freely explore where we can climb virtually any place, full of interesting sites and monuments faithfully mapped. The fight mechanics like this that we know of the Brotherhood. Ezio does not need to learn all the tricks from the beginning (except for the use of the hook), so we meet stronger opponents almost immediately. I had the opportunity to fight with a group of Janissaries, the personal bodyguards of the Sultan, who made me a problem, mainly by the fact that they did not hesitate to use firearms, could be repealed before each blow, until I broke their defense does not kick, and did not die immediately after one , well leveled counterattack. Admittedly, this part is very impressive. You just have to play it!
One guy had a farmsegrand | Jan. 4, 2014 | Review of Farming Giant Steam - PC
The player takes on the role of a farmer , and his task is to build from scratch a company that would become one of the world's food production market giants . The way to achieve this goal , however, is far away , and the entrepreneur will face many difficult challenges to be faced. Following the example of earlier views the series, Farming Giant game takes place in real time. The player manages the farm ( farm building and production facilities , conduct upgrades, deals with the cultivation of the land and cattle ), and also takes care of the financial results of the run farm. All mechanisms associated with food production are modeled on real production process , which adds fun and educational advantages of simulation . In terms of the quality of the audio - visual framing Farming Giant does not deviate from the standards set by the previous cycle reads Giant . Noteworthy is the size of boards on which a player can demonstrate ingenuity in the planning and construction of farm crops ranched . There is perhaps something wonderful , but definitely for fans of this type of genre is quite bearable proposition . Pleasing to the eye and fun to play.
Adored by my person Gothicsegrand | Jan. 4, 2014 | Review of Gothic II Gold - PC
If someone wants to play Gothic 2 , and did not play in the first part of this game I would recommend him to play first in number one . Gothic 2 picks up right where the first part ends . After defeating the dreamer magical barrier breaks down , and we remain in the tomb of a demon buried boulders. Xardas the Necromancer after three weeks teleport us to your tower. He tells us that only the magical aura of our armor kept us alive . After a brief moment of triumph mag tells us about a new threat waiting Khorinis . Dreamers his last cry of despair summoned to this world big powerful demons even dragons. Necromancer tells us that this time we will not cope without help . We need eye Innosa without this sacred amulet not defeat the dragons. After the recent guidelines Xardasa we move into the big , dangerous fantasy world . Meet Gothic 2 , a worthy successor to the Three Great RPG ! Travel through the huge , vibrant world . Experience a unique adventure depressing in a multi-threaded , full of plot twists . Savour the refined graphics to the smallest detail , and sensational sound luminaire . Embark on meeting the greatest adventure of your life. Meet the evil , and cover the fame of a true hero . I highly recommend the game Gothic 2 In my opinion this is the best RPG of our time. It is surprising and unpredictable. Playing in her every moment you just what a monster is lurking around the corner, what happens after the next task. If you enjoy role-playing games necessarily , without exception, must play in Gothic 2 , but only then , when you move the first part of the game , because you will not know why some people are familiar with the game you do not know the previous history of the Gothic surprising . Really, if you play this game you will not regret it!
Progress chasing progresssegrand | Jan. 1, 2014 | Review of Two Worlds II Steam - PC
Beautiful graphics , dynamic combat, and in addition rarely seen in this type of productions multiplayer mode . The second installment of the series Two Worlds Poles are proving that they can do a good action game with RPG genre . Two Worlds II is a great looking that puts the fight RPG . Hour after hour passed , and I was still sitting in front of comp, because I have a few points I lack the experience to a new level , I 'll get some coins and buy some better armor , etc. Unfortunately, addictive battle comrades average plot, uninteresting open area and SI errors . Too many elements is just average or just good to be able to say that the game is outstanding , but who knows, maybe the situation will change the third part of a series ( I hope that one appears) . Meanwhile, really nice to be able to honestly recommend Polish title. Applause for Reality Pump for good ( bit of a shame that not very good) job done . Although I do not like the struggles of the network, and certainly not in the games of the RPG genre , it is a multiplayer mode in Two Worlds II drew me more than I expected. It gives at least some , if not a few hours extra , rewarding fun. It is far from ideal, but they are on the right track in the future.

Long, long ago led a happy life Glade . Yes , there were some disagreements here and between them - and this one another cow abducted , and that someone Miss wolf beadle . There is , however tempestuous idyll . Until the time when everything went wrong . KnightShift is a real-time strategy . You think so probably that, as in any other real-time strategy put base , you train the army, bump into enemy territory , carved out its troops and smoke his village , ending the game. Well i .. Well, you're right. But ! Here, the basis of everything is milk. Literally - the milk . Starting the game you get a few cows , for which you need to take care , because only through them Your village will grow in strength. Another interesting element of the game , in addition to Slavic climates , is without doubt the RPG mode - if you want you can have an adventure worthy of a Slavic hero . I honestly really do not like this game . It does not look good, does not present playability . It is definitely a lot more games commendable . Behind the desire and the subject can boast . The rest are far too weak.
Pretty good game I have to saysegrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Septerra Core Legacy of the Creator - PC
Economical , not wordy , animations inserted only where you need it. Simple Keyboard controls in the majority of substitutable by rat - allows you to concentrate on the game. Easy to move around the locations and maps , logical and nuanced combat system (no long animation sequences when casting spells - a little animation of course is ) and of scenario: linear (which may be too big an advantage it is not) , but all in all legible and łopatologiczny . You have to pay attention to details and sometimes brains in gear . The next steps are indicated by clear instructions , but you have to catch them - otherwise remains legwork on the map and a studded points in consecutive fights. You can see that gentlemen authors pointed this out , because sometimes when a man is too good and too quickly moves to the next stages , it is the way goes to the opponents who clearly are prepared stronger team. To sum . For sure this is not some discovery . It's fairly well made up for a lesson , however ( and therefore ) highly recommend it to everyone who can devote several hours to the salvation of the world. Incredibly time consuming ! PS: As a young man how it played , I remember that even ran off a full walkthrough for the game, because I did not know how to get a piece!
Good old game. Do you think that for you?segrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Knights Merchants - PC
I can not say clearly who to recommend this title. In comparison to today's games falls quite pale ( you will not find in the three-dimensional objects supported hardware acceleration ) . But maybe that's what is its advantage ? Modest hardware requirements and the relatively low price are encouraging . For young readers may be instructive to know the program presented in a simplified way the state ( that is, simply put - the discovery that "nothing comes from the air " ) . However, due to the tedious poring through successive stages of the game , the game is designed mainly for people with a huge stock of spare time , which is now becoming increasingly difficult to save . High levels of difficulty are also encouraged to buy . This is a particularly good option for older players . Younger can quickly alienate rather old graphics, difficulty level and a completely different approach to the subject. Is it worth ? I personally think so. As a young man spent a lot of time on this production. I was not disappointed.
Very good production ... so few words specifically.segrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Gorky 17 - PC
The game is set in 2009 , somewhere in Poland ( from one of the designers we learn that the city is Lubin in Lower Silesia ) . Branch consisting of three commandos NATO forces ( composed Pole , an American and a Frenchman ) are designed to find out why the town was devastated , what happened to the residents and why previous intervention group did not give any sign of life . This is not a typical survival , as the game is organized in a tactic - RPG , but it does not mean that it loses its climate, and even the opposite. Pressing problem during the whole game is annoying lack of ammunition and therapeutic agents. It is true that sometimes run into the box from fantami , but found equipment must be divided into 3 -5 -person team . In total, the team members do not have any distinguishing features. Exceptions are women . They can not use heavy weapons , but it is the first I encounter on the road, is a bonus for treatment. Invariably, the team always stays Cole Sullivan , Jacek owicz and Thiery Trantigne , and other forms of exchange . During the fighting each character gets experience and proficiency wielding a particular weapon , depending on how much damage inflicted . With increasing experience increases the level and amount of damage and accuracy for a weapon . With each increase in level can increase your rates . All we visit look like in reality nothing had happened , only residents jumped out at the moment . So it might seem at first glance , but the impression destroys the already encountered the first enemy that resembles a crossword puzzle dog and a lizard. The second thing edifying atmosphere is pervasive gloom : portraits form to send a shadow, in most locations there is darkness , something seen only by some small lampeczce even figure in the inventory is half obscured by shadow . The game comes from the period when the game actually was still difficult, which additionally been building the impression of survival, and the dynamic story tells us trudge forward. I think you should play " Gorky 17 " from the ground that it will never be gaming at such a level . Very good production .
Wonderful old school gamesegrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Earth 2150 Trilogy - PC
Earth 2150 is a real time strategy game , where the action happens in the future, after the destruction of Earth. Earth 2150 is composed of three separately published parts: Escape from Blue Planet , The Moon Project and Lost Souls .

The player has to complete various missions , which aim to save people and find a way to survive. Earth 2150 allows you to create databases , develop army , use of technology , creating ships and collecting relevant . It is awfully good production of the old school , which is playable to this day. If anyone is interested in this type of productions , you should start just from the title. Timeless game , definitely !
Please... more game like this!segrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Enclave - PC
The story does not stand out from the diagrams , but can sometimes surprise you. The forces of evil are preparing for another attack . In Xboxowej version of the good guys started to gain access to the history of the other side. PCs version immediately gives us access to the campaigns of light and darkness. The campaign is a good start large -sized knight bad campaign - a warrior . Turning stages gain access to newer and newer forms, which we have quite a lot to choose from. We can manage , among other things hoarder, druid , berserker , halfling , assasin , an engineer, a golem or would be a sorcerer . The characters we follow are specialized either in the fight for greater distances , or in close encounters . They also differ weapons they can use . Their purchase is done by using found bags of gold. The biggest advantage Enclave turns out to be the climate. Apparently casual game TPP , but can pull and it's very hard. Locations sizable dazzle and variety to their appearance , the characters were applied the right amount of polygons . Also, opponents nothing is missing . Especially enjoys a view of open space , water quality , and very detailed texture. Subsequent stages are true works of art , but they show up on bigger hardware requirements . A good patent turns out to be the option of first-person view , and even walking with such a prospect. What makes the Enclave has that "something" is the soundtrack. Thanks to immediately grasp the atmosphere of a mystical land . Definitely worth investing ! I did not even have to worry about the requirements . No problem you go , most likely at max detail !
Chess extremely interestingsegrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Battle vs Chess Steam - PC
Opposite each other are here because armies composed of animated bodies , symbolizing the individual figures . The game does not lack sophisticated attacks, magic and impressive graphical effects . Production offers both game modes for single player (including an action-packed Arena , where the player at the right time takes control units and self inflicts damage ) , as well as a multiplayer option . Struggles taking place on six chessboards , having in each case a different graphic , three-dimensional background . Buyers Battle vs . Chess can without too much trouble to adjust the difficulty level of gameplay to their skills - the creators have developed mechanisms based on a series of Fritz as many as ten different models to choose from . Still, this version of chess is extremely interesting and looks much better than the typical . I can not in good conscience recommend , because incredibly addictive ! PS : Also for fans of Harry Potter ! There was also a theme with live chess ;)
Easy, simple, enjoyable.segrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of 3SwitchedD - PC
The game itself is banal in its simplicity. Really. However, using here a little different perspective and visually looks really solid. It is a real "time killer". Only the best is just a game for any kind of cell, tablets and other wonders of today's technology. I do not know if I can in good conscience recommend this game to your computer. On mobile devices, the idea and the production is really brilliant. When traveling, by bus or on the road, a meadow, in the park, in the woods. Very pleasant apply this and other productions like her. Sitting at home but I do not know if I would in such a thing he wanted to play. Well, unless someone has a laptop, and it can travel. And that is why, for those with a laptop, I would recommend this and this type of production. Easy, simple, enjoyable. Without any fireworks. It is designed to loosen, break for a moment from everyday life and give some simple entertainment.
Sweet racing game!segrand | Dec. 31, 2013 | Review of Calvin Tuckers Farm Animal Racing - PC
There are many games of this type, where we drive cars and we have a variety of fun creatures for the driver. This time, however, we have animals like pigs, chickens, etc., and the cars do different trucks resembling those frequently encountering in agriculture. Not the first time I meet with such races, but these are some of the nicest. Also fun for the little ones, so you might as well fire is your child! A lot of vehicles, the ability to play split screen, decent graphics. Very good suggestion to offer something the youngest, as well as them and play! We visit many different places, because the maps are diverse, so there is no question of boredom. One of several of this type of production, but also one of the most interesting. Funbox Media has won already another samochodówkę, also suitable for children. So nothing but benefit from the goodness from them and play this type of game. Children should be delighted.
Guilty Gear!!segrand | Dec. 30, 2013 | Review of Guilty Gear Isuka - PC
Guilty Gear Isuka is the story of a tournament , the aim of which is to identify the most powerful warrior. The struggle involved mechanically modified athletes whose speed and power moves much human . The tournament next bio - warriors , are also involved unbeaten champions martial arts . Guilty Gear Isuka is an arcade action game under the banner of fighting , in which once can fight even four players ( multiplayer mode ) . The game contains twenty-three players, each with its set of punches. Graphics of the game is two-dimensional and extremely colorful reminiscent performing at the thought ( the rest of the rightly ) anime . Guilty Gear Isuka is another scene of one of the most famous fighting game series in the history of electronic entertainment . If you are fans of Playstation console , it is not possible that you may about the game not heard . The most important innovation in relation to the previous section , with its PlayStation 2 , it is worth mentioning the opportunity to play in a special mode in which the lists is up to four players simultaneously. Of course, there were also options, which traditionally face each other two people. In addition to this mode also includes " three in one " . You can not forget about the option Factory , in which the player gets to disposal robot named Robo- Ky II. The machine that you can learn to ask the individual moves and a combination of impressive offensive techniques . A further , novel mode is optional Boost , which is typically a skill for two players. I highly recommend it because it really worthy brawl interest.
Necrovision and his creaturessegrand | Dec. 29, 2013 | Review of Necrovision - PC
Necrovision is an extremely complex game . Its level is not equal . At the beginning we feel terrible boredom , something that we can not draw for a long time . It turns out after some time , it is quite enjoyable game . You still have to convince . How to do it? Try this production and not to deviate from it after a bad beginning. May actually be better! I will . It is therefore difficult to say whether this is good or bad game . This is definitely a game geared toward pure action , without the interference of a complex story. If we are able to withstand , it can be really quite good at this production fun. Necrovision is certainly not a milestone in the history of virtual entertainment , it is also not a revolution in the world of shooters . In addition to the work of The Farm 51 should not , however, pass indifferently. Similar production on the market does not have much, and even less is as good works . There is no doubt that Necrovision recommend this product , especially for the enthusiast shooters who are not looking for gaming depth , only action!
Not bad, not badsegrand | Dec. 28, 2013 | Review of Silent Hunter V Battle of the Atlantic Gold Edition - PC
As commander of the German U-boat type VII we have a task to deal with the forces of the Allies - Silent Hunter 5 : Battle of the Atlantic takes players into the realities of World War II , offering an extensive campaign which can be completed at one of several levels of difficulty . Thanks to this game is addressed both to veterans and less experienced amateurs of this kind of production. Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic puts the emphasis on the interaction with the crew of the ship. Giving orders and talking to its members , influence the morale of our children , and we can throw off their shoulders certain responsibilities . Manufacturers also introduced a system for the development of our comrades - the new ability to unblock spending skill points . There are further experience points that are used to powerful ship. Actually, I can venture to say that the Battle of the Atlantic is the first truly innovative simulation of submarine since the Aces of the Deep . Not all, such an approach would be liked , is not it , however, is that the series needed something new. Along with Silent Hunter 4 it became apparent that the cycle 've come in evolutionary dead end . Silent Hunter III enriched the modem Grey Wolves is close to perfection and not too much could be improved here . Ot could at most add a few details, improved graphics and improved artificial intelligence . However, without a radical change , a game more akin to a remake than a continuation. Therefore, the creator , not seeing too much opportunities to go forward , they made a big step to the side, in my opinion, in all a pretty successful.
Not bad Brother in Armssegrand | Dec. 26, 2013 | Review of Brothers in Arms Hells Highway - PC
Brothers in Arms series is known primarily from the fact that it was kind of a pioneer in the classic combination of FPS and tactical strategy. Hell's Highway is absolutely not trying to revolutionize the model . In the simplest terms it looks like this - when you arrive in a new place we analyze the positions of enemies and spacing of their people. Subordinates spend then click putting suppressive fire , and at the same time, alone or with the participation of the other team attacking enemies flank . Great idea , but the execution of previously released games left a lot to be desired. Enemies behave irrationally ( either too passive or too aggressive ) , all shares were almost identical course and poor design maps forced to solve problems in a strictly determined way. How it all looks in Hell's Highway ? I think it is much better now , though it was impossible to eliminate all childhood diseases . Still, it is a ! Brothers in Arms : Hell's Highway is an extremely successful continuation. The creators of great use of the opportunities offered by the third generation Unreal Engine , left proven ideas and added a few new options , they took care of engrossing storylines , absorbing missions . For fans of this type of production , so it should be a position worthy of interest.
Not bad Agricultural Simulatorsegrand | Dec. 25, 2013 | Review of Agricultural Simulator 2011 Steam - PC
Half the battle is in fact cultivate the land and raise crops , the other - well sell them . Purchase prices of agricultural products in each of the sites are constantly changing - time to grow , time to fall. By collecting grain in silos , we are often forced to make difficult decisions . Every day we ask ourselves whether it is the right moment to with a packed trailer to move to monetize yields and earn funds for further investments or wait another two or three days, as the increase in prices, but the risk of a decline , resulting in halting further development of the farm. Low and unfavorable prices can persist for a long time - the better we can choose when to sell, the faster growing wealthy and developing. How many times a man wondered what it's like to have your own farm , own pets and your own business . Now we have it all . For some , this is the game extremely boring. In the end, what may be interesting in picking crops, selling them and making money . For others , however, this production is completely detached from the others, giving endless gameplay. It really is what to do in this game . Dear young farmers . Do not be afraid to invest in the production. Try this business. Maybe this is not a game for everyone, but it is worth to draw a little view of this , where does the bread and how you have to work to collect all the crops and then sell ! This is not a bad game . You can go ahead and invest .

Valve Complete Pack is a collection of the best games from Valve . Here we have , among others, which enjoys great popularity Team Fotress 2 , which as a F2P game reaches an incredible number when it comes to the number of people playing in this production. Another production is included in the course, Half Life series . Very good production for people who do not pay attention to the graphics, and for whom the story . This is where we meet the characters and really amazing piece of solid gameplay. Of course, the package contains a very popular and perfect to play together with your friends Left 4 Dead . This is where we will kill hundreds of zombies different kind of weapons and using many types of firearms. Excellent game when it comes to co-op . Very enjoyable game . It can be pretty good de-stress ! Of course there is still portal . As for me, a little odd production , but still has its positives . Nice graphics (especially in talon ) and interesting gameplay, which shows something quite different from the rest of the production. It also has co- op ! Man can not of course forget about the production, which was allowed to serve themselves from a young age . Production, which is represented in e - sports. This game is Counter Strike . It is impossible even for a moment to hear about this production . In addition, she improved , prettier version of Counter Strike Global Offensive named . Also, and this portion is located in the package. Frankly nothing but buy and enjoy the hundreds, if not thousands of hours spent.

The main character is Gordon Freeman cycle , theoretical physicist engaged in a secret research center Black Messa , where during one of the failed experiments is accidentally made kasakada resonance . The effect of open portals to the world of Xen , inhabited by an aggressive alien race who are trying to get to the Earth. The story of the first part of the cycle focuses on trying to get out of the complex research , and opponents of the protagonist are both aliens and Marines who are trying to prevent the escape of the resort . In a continuation of events take place several years later, and Freeman again must confront a stranger who had invaded the futuristic metropolis City 17 Initially, the game series Half-Life engine GoldScr exploit the opportunities , which is a modified version of the Quake Engine. The real jump in quality visuals ensured , however, only applies much more modern technology Source , which was first used in Half -Life 2, and then also in the original Half-Life ( Half-Life : Source ) . One of the curiosities on the Half-Life series is the silence of the protagonist . In any games Gordon Freeman does not speak a word of what happened to the subject of many jokes popular among players . Why this introduction? Because it is one of the best in terms of production plot. Really, this game does not count artwork and just playability! Older players will understand and manage it to them just the same statement . Take it if you do not. Really worth it!
One of the best Prince of Persiasegrand | Dec. 21, 2013 | Review of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time - PC
It is worth noting that many of the new , hyped hits targets more on graphics than the story and idea - the Prince of Persia was different. This game even though it is no longer a technical novelty now , and probably most of you will not specifically admire her artwork , it contains a lot of cool ideas and very good performance . Very well designed locations and new solutions are still emerging during the game adds climate game . All these elements make the PoP to the end playable and interesting. And this is after all the most important. Both fans of arcade and versatile players simply looking for good games should be very pleased. + - very good combat system - interestingly designed locations - a lot of new ideas even at the end of the game - the possibility of shifting time - well increasing the level of difficulty - - annoying camera - today's possibilities a little outdated graphics - inability to write in any place (sometimes a little bad arranged checkpoints )
Prince of Persia one more timesegrand | Dec. 21, 2013 | Review of Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands Deluxe Edition - PC
In this part of the Prince's most failed me two things. One of them is a struggle . Surely you remember the possibility of piss- free-hand in the Soul Warrior or two thrones ? It's not here . Here, as in the sands of time, prince breaks one combination ( True Power Attacki yet , but that does not change the fact of things. ) Can do 5 attacks on each combo attacks , attacking fast , strong , alternating , and as soon as we . But one thing I must write : Fight reminded not fight we remember from WW or TTW , but more hack n ' slashową , something the Devil May Cry , but it is more poorly . In almost all (except the Two Thrones ) Prince had a whole arsenal of weapons " indestructible ", these have changed with the progress in the game, here we are just ... Two Swords, phi ! You also can not take weapons from enemies , or crunched only one sword, for around 80 % of the game , and the rest , such that each removes virtually blow . What is new are the powers of the elements and RPG elements , as you probably know , so that I will not write anything , you will not need it ;) Here, too, nothing interesting. Opponents are so diverse , oh, so much so that I do not know if I counted 9 types . Szkieletorki - Clones , just like the rest . Interestingly , these powers are water-related and restructuring elements of the environment . While the latter was pretty cool , it is freezing and thawing of water, especially at the end of the game , and earlier, was able to bring me for the umpteenth time - . - . The worst thing for me was the length of the Forgotten sands game. The whole finished in about 7 hours. To sum up : If you 're a fan of PoP , you can buy this part , but if you bet on the climate and length , catch the other parts, such as Warrior Within .
African adventuresegrand | Dec. 21, 2013 | Review of Far Cry 2 Complete Edition - PC
Because of that I am today after completing the 2 parts of the game that stole my heart ( FC1 ) , throw your few cents to FC2. Before preparing for the part , I was a little skeptical attitude to the revised scene , which is Africa , because in my opinion this location in the world FC not too convinced me , Micronesia, Federated States of FC1 is much more fabulous . However, the second part I was fascinated by their realism ( malaria , methods of treating wounds , etc ) , a huge number of different weapons , fairly interesting characters , and of course the mood when walking on the plains and seeing the fluttering leaves and branches , as well as hearing the sounds of wildlife you can forget it is a game . In fact , sometimes the game may be bored by the repetitive and predictable tasks , but I'm still curious what will happen next , and how it all will end. The most dazzled me in the game , however, is that the weapons too often jammed (it is indeed a good and realistic theme ), but sometimes it happens in such a frequency that is at least annoying . To sum up the first part of a more enchants me climate, scenery, music and gameplay directing more towards the " kłejkowej " for my taste , two for it can not have this climate as "1" , but encouraging realism , variety of weapons and almost non-linearity strongly should encourage sandboxowych FPS game lovers .
Zombie, zombie, zombie... KILL KILL KILLsegrand | Dec. 1, 2013 | Review of Left 4 Dead 2 - PC
With Left 4 Dead 2 is a funny thing . First thing is is that it also contains a campaign with the first part. Is so stupid to buy two parts , since the second is everything. I hope that the third party does not give two previous parts. Well, but going forward . Graphics for those times quite pleasing to the eye . There will not be here the idea of survival in a dangerous world . We simply can not be eaten . How so do we defend ? Axes , clubs, guns and much more . We have quite a few weapons . We just smash the whole cluster of zombies , go ahead , knock again, and so on . Until we map does not end. Quite funny you have to admit it . But I could not personally do not know how long this bear. We have four main characters. Their models are very cool. We have , of course, four of the previous section. The idea here is what the co-op . Collaboration is important here , because if it snaps at us one of the strongest zombie or drop us life , someone has to us from the ground up. And here we are just companions from that. When the games themselves , the other three takes on the computer . Our comrades blind run for us, and shoot at everything that moves until the ammo runs out or the opponent scored. Speaking of ammo, you do not need to worry about the lack of it. Here's just very hard to lose all the magazines. On the higher difficulty levels is probably possible, but from what we have ax. Generally speaking, the whole game is enjoyable with friends. This is rather typical survival, and over time can get boring. Is it worth investing in this production? Probably. I personally am an average geared to this.
Discover the magic of Dunwall City!segrand | Dec. 1, 2013 | Review of Dishonored Steam - PC
Dishonored is a production that really stuck in my memory. We are pleased man returns to the title many times. The first thing that is extremely well done is the vision of the city. Every detail has a purpose, and it looks simply ludicrous . Really a lot of times it was so , that instead of going forward admired the city , looking through every nook and read every piece of paper that told a story about him. The magic of this place engulfed me completely. Another thing is the combat system . There are so dynamic and nuanced that passing game , killing another enemy is awfully good ! Just good ! A very long time since I played during combat as well as just at this game. A substantial number of gadgets only increases the possibilities . You can use a gun , crossbow , grenades , proximity traps . It really is a lot to choose from . RPG fans will also find something for themselves. We have the opportunity to develop the skills of our hero , where we choose from among a few special abilities like Blink . This gives us the ability to " teleport " in the selection of our place . Other options are not worse ! Seeing through walls , summon rats that will attack the enemy. But I'm talking about how to eliminate the enemy. This can be done aloud, making maps which are veritable battlefield, but also can play the silent killer. Sneak eliminating enemies and quiet this is also something beautiful. But we do not need to kill! Also, we can sneak and go through the game without killing anyone! Paths to achieve the goal is really a lot. A depends only on us, which we choose and how to solve the problem. It is a game definitely worth a visit. The only drawback is the difficulty that even the best does not cause too much trouble.
Assassin's Creed with the number foursegrand | Nov. 19, 2013 | Review of Assassins Creed IV Black Flag - PC
Assassin 's Creed marked number four commonly referred to as Black Flag , the next adventure of the series. This time the authors offer us a journey into the world of pirates (which is a subject was terribly boosted by the Pirates of the Caribbean ) . In the world of alcohol , beautiful women , ships, sea battles , pirates and their terrible enemies and murderers . Assassins who hoods eliminate his enemies . It is no different this time . Series is known because of this , and this time , continued . We have our own boat and sail out to sea along with his crew , visiting many interesting places , presented in a very nice way. In addition, we supply the two swords , guns, and we set off on the adventure of life. Singing , underwater adventure , marine unknown corners of the world and a typical pirate humor . All of this can be found in the newest part , and even a little more . Tzeba admit that it is a very sensible production that draws from what is best proven features and upgrades . Additionally, we have a multiplayer mode , in which you can change the appearance of the character and a little deal with the other assassins led by players from all over the world. This is a very solid production, which can in good conscience recommend it. Really might be interested in charismatic figure , which is unquestionably Edward Kenway and meet his pirate history.
The history of vampires in the background.segrand | Nov. 19, 2013 | Review of Blood Knights - PC
All the productions that are about vampires extremely interesting to me . Therefore, I decided to see what it is actually, Blood Knights . Hack n Slash . It is safe to say , because you can see it from the first moments . A very good option is to add a co- op . I do not know if the man would no longer He sat at the table, if he had to go himself the story . The creators of the studio Deck13 that have usually consisted of adventure . You do not have to worry so special about the story that exists . In addition to killing another enemy , as indeed do the vast majority of games, collect gold , equipment , experience points . In a matter of fact it is a very stress-free gameplay with a touch of the story. Is it exactly what you admire ? They were already playing a vampire in history, which definitely pierced the title. It is no longer about the graphics , but about the same gameplay. You can not deny , however, the creators of ideas for the game , but because something that was . With the implementation of them can not work out a little bit , but not too bad. We are pleased to kick in next opponents ... and subsequent ... and the next. For fans of the genre, like the most. After another handful of new creatures and people to slaughter in excess of the concept. For the rest, I would advise against. It's really a lot more interesting items.
Treasure hunt time to start!segrand | Nov. 19, 2013 | Review of Deadfall Adventures - PC
Production developed by Polish studio . It draws some ideas from other games, but you can not have her blame . This is such an interesting proposal that I think that it should be interesting. However, starting from the beginning. If someone liked Metro 2033 , notebook in hand, lighting the dynamite from the lighter it will be delighted tutejszymi solutions. A compass lies in our hands , flashlight or notebook that helps us in solving puzzles. I must admit that it is ingenious , but very enjoyable. Do not have to play in the sub-menu , because what we need is so tasty as shown . Fans of character development will also find something for themselves , as there is here a way of character development . Did you Alan Wake and weakening enemies with a beam of light ? Here too there is a similar solution. All this is spiced with Indiana Jones films , finding treasures and pleasant to the eye graphics engine based on Unreal Engine 3 We are also a multiplayer mode in which you can calmly play any . Is it worth investing in this production ? In my opinion the most . Especially if you've always wanted to be treasure hunters. You have at this point a great opportunity to see in this role. By the way, it is a decent and interesting FPS of all kinds of opponents. From ordinary people through various creatures.
One more time... RAPTURE!segrand | Nov. 17, 2013 | Review of BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea Episode 1 - PC
If someone fell in love with the underwater city, is now a moral obligation to invest in this DLC. Yes! Then he gives us the opportunity to return to the famous Rapture! Already this should be advertising in and of itself, but no move on. Graphically downright ludicrous. Climate underwater city back in a new installment better and makes you want to visit every corner of this beautiful place. Well, Elizabeth, who is even more beautiful in person than in the original game. The model looks better, performs better. In all respects, is better. Could anything be better? Of course! The news that this is not the end of the story, and once again return to Rapture. I personally can not wait and I sincerely recommend this DLC, because it is really great. Any fan of the first two Bioshocków, you must visit this version of the Rapture and see with your own eyes, what a beautiful creators managed to do. Quickly Buy from. I recommend and greet.
Very good game from Bethesdasegrand | Oct. 10, 2013 | Review of The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind Game of The Year Edition - PC
Extremely good game that has great support for mods. You can improve it in every possible way, adding more and more new things, improving the present and play najprawdę good production. Of course it is good to start from the previous section. Want to play Skyrim'a? Consult first with a true legend!
Not bad wild westsegrand | Oct. 10, 2013 | Review of Call of Juarez Gunslinger Steam - PC
Maybe the game is not too long, it can and has an unusual graphics, maybe this is the wild west ... However, many of these things is the advantage? Speed and unusual approach to the subject gives the game some good reviews. The biggest drawback is the length of the game. With the current rapid game, it can be completed quickly enough. Is it worth it? Of course! Wild West is not so popular in the PC, so that more might be interested in this topic, thanks to this game!
From the creators of The Walkind Dead!segrand | Oct. 10, 2013 | Review of The Wolf Among Us - PC
From the creators of The Walking Dead. This can be seen besides the graphics, which so easily gets old like many contemporary production. A game that is worth playing due to an interesting story, great graphics gameplay that attracts attention from the very beginning, and interesting characters. Maybe the game divided into episodes, it will definitely be worth it to invest in them. Recommended!

New BWI scanners avoid 'virtual strip search'
The Transportation Security Administration has replaced the software on its enhanced imaging screening devices at BWI Marshall Airport to avoid the explicit body images that some privacy advocates had labeled a "virtual strip search."
BWI is one of several airports nationally where the new software is now operational. Under the new system, if something suspicious is detected by the scanner, it shows up as a small yellow box on a generic body image that both the TSA screener and the passenger can see. The TSA said it will no longer need to have an officer in a room off checkpoint scanning a projection of each passenger's individual form.
TSA spokesman Kawika Riley said the new technology is being deployed at 40 airports around the country with a total of about 240 machines. BWI now has 10 of the devices, deployed at Piers A, B, D and E.
The new software will be installed in all of the TSA's millimeter-wave Advanced Imaging technology machines. Riley said the agency is still working on developing technology that could be used with another form of advanced imaging known as "backscatter" machines.
Riley said the new program will cost roughly $2.7 million to deploy at the 40 airports, but he said the agency should be able to recoup much of that money through savings in staffing and maintaining the separate rooms for viewing the images.
The previous software, which generated an image that distinctly showed individual bodily attributes under a passenger's clothing, was widely resented by travelers -- sometimes for political and religious reasons.
TSA and BWI officials expressed hope the new technology would allay some of the concerns raised by privacy advocates.

Reviews for Wings of Prey 1
The Game is Odd But Can SatisfyROKET | June 30, 2012 | See all ROKET's reviews »
I bought this game and then bought my joystick to play it thinking it would be a good time. The game is visually beautiful with wonderful cockpit effects and insanely detailed landscapes. Gameplaywise the game is good and bad and odd all at the same time. Ive played the IL2 games before and they all had tight, responsive controls. Wings of Prey had what I thought were tight controls but there were spots in flight were the plane wouldnt respond correctly - even when set to simulator difficulty. Im sure the game is fine on arcade difficulty but what I experienced on that setting is a scripted, not very challenging campaign. This is another game I really think I should have purchased.
Too realistic?hisnameisrob | April 21, 2012 | See all hisnameisrob's reviews »
Wings of Prey looked more attractive to me from descriptions and screenshots before I bought it. After playing it for a while my impressions were that the graphics are a lot more credible from high altitude. Fly a bit lower and to a great extent the spell is broken. I found the missions reasonably varied but difficult (a few times because what I was supposed to do was not clear enough). Despite it's short comings I'd have to say that Wings of Prey is the best recent flight sim/game I've bought that didn't come from Microsoft. If you're into combat flight sims you should try this. If you're more keen on the flight than the combat you should probably look elsewhere.

Photograph of John Thaw as Cardinal Wolesley
The actor John Thaw as Cardinal Wolsey in Shakespeare's Henry VIII
The story of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) can be told in photographs and the Shakespeare Centre Library & Archive holds a massive archive of professional shots of their productions. These include both photographs commissioned by the RSC and also those commissioned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust itself. Including just about everyone who been anything in classical theatre these last forty years or so, they relate a great deal not only of the history of individual actors but also of the history of recent set and costume design. Together the photographs, which include the work of Tom Holte, Joe Cocks, Reg Wilson and Malcolm Davies, must represent one of the most important gatherings of theatrical photography and record some iconic productions.
This image, taken by Joe Cocks on behalf of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in 1983, records the late John Thaw's performance as Cardinal Wolsey in Shakespeare's Henry VIII, directed by Howard Davies. The production also featured Richard Griffiths in the title role. The photograph was taken five years after John Thaw had wound up his role as Flying Squad detective Jack Regan in 'The Sweeney' and four years before his first appearance as Chief Inspector Morse in 'The Dead of Jericho'.

Carnevale: Cramer Likes CVS Caremark -- And So Do I
F.A.S.T. Graphs) -- Jim Cramer made a bullish call on CVS Caremark (CVS - Get Report) during the lightning round of his Mad Money TV program March 13. Based on the company's fundamentals and fair valuation, I believe Cramer made the right call. CVS Caremark has a consistent record of above-average earnings growth. Since calendar year 2003, operating earnings have increased at an above-average annual compounded rate of 14.4%. During this time, the stock price has tracked earnings closely.The following F.A.S.T. Graphs reveals CVS Caremark's highly correlated earnings and price record. Moreover, the company is attractive as it is trading at its earnings-justified valuation level. Add in the 1.7% dividend yield and consider that the dividend has increased every year since 2003 at an average growth rate of 18% per annum, and a long-term investment in CVS Caremark looks attractive. CVS Caremark has a terrific long-term performance record in which shareholders have been lavishly rewarded. Total cumulative dividend income has been about the same as the S&P 500. However, capital appreciation of 15.2% a year is significantly higher than the 5.8% on the S&P 500. The consensus of leading analysts following CVS Caremark expect the company to continue to grow at over 13% annually for the next five years. If that happens, the five-year estimated total return, including dividends, would total 14.5% a year. This number is consistent with the company's historical long-term record and, therefore, it's plausible. CVS Caremark is a well-run drug retailer and a dominant player in its industry. The company generates strong cash flow, is financially strong with a debt-to-capital ratio of only 20%, and operates in a high-growth business. Low valuation, growing dividend yield and strong fundamentals available at attractive valuations support a bullish call on CVS Caremark. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

American Heart Association Honors Albany Med with Awards for Quality Care
May 5, 2014 - Albany , NY
Albany, N.Y., May 5, 2014 ‹ Albany Medical Center has become one of two New York State hospitals to be recognized to date by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for its success in providing quality resuscitation care for both adult and pediatric patients who suffer cardiac arrests in the hospital.
Albany Med was awarded a Gold Quality Achievement Award for Resuscitation for meeting specific measures in treating adult cardiac arrest patients, and a Silver Achievement Award for Resuscitation in treating newborn patients. Previously, the American Heart Association /American Stroke Association recognized Albany Med for excellence in heart failure and stroke care.
"We are committed to providing the highest standard of care to our patients," said Edward Philbin, M.D., Albany Med's chief of Cardiology. "It's a team effort that involves skilled and dedicated individuals from all disciplines working together from the initial emergency response to post-emergency care."
Hospitals are honored through the heart and stroke associations' Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation program, which focuses on promoting consistent adherence to the latest scientific treatment guidelines, often referred to as "evidence-based" medicine. The program aims to help hospital teams save more lives threatened by cardiopulmonary emergencies by consistently following the most up-to-date guidelines for treating patients who suffer a cardiac arrest in the hospital. Guidelines include following protocols for patient safety, medical emergency team response, effective and timely resuscitation (CPR) and post-emergency care.
More than 200,000 adults and children have an in-hospital cardiac arrest each year, according to the American Heart Association.
Under the Get With The Guidelines® program, Gold awards indicate that hospitals have followed treatment guidelines in certain key measures at least 85 percent of the time for 24 consecutive months. Silver awards are given to hospitals that have maintained certain performance levels at least 85 percent of the time for 12 consecutive months.

phantom pregnancy?
hello, i just wanted to ask if what i am feeling are phantom pregnancy symptoms or are they real? how to know? and what are the chances of having a phantom pregnancy? i have been feeling breast tenderness, breast size went up i have what look like montgomery glands that seem to be showing around my areola, and i have had this breast and nipple pain, a lot of heartburn, and this passed week i felt what i thought might be implantation cramping and bloating, i have felt a little different and never have these kind of symptoms before my period. i am really confused after reading about what many women go through and how pregnancy can be created by the mind and desires to become pregnant. i am still waiting until april 2, 2012 to see if i miss my period but now i am in doubt if what i am feeling is real or made up. please any kind of information would be much appreciated. thank you.

thank you for your answer :) i actually took a first response 6 day early test today and i got a faint positive but is deffinetly there. i am going to take another after april 2 to see if the hcg levels are higher. and hoping i dont have a chemical pregnancy by then. :)posted 03/26/2012 by lovelyleopard
Its possible you could be experiencing a phantom pregnancy, it does happen more often than what some people think when they to be pregnant really bad. All I can suggest is to wait until April 2nd. You will know for sure by then whether you are pregnant or not. You can also try an early detection test as well, if you are pregnant, your levels of HCG may be high enough to be detected before your period is due.posted 03/26/2012 by peanutwitt

So under the assumption the WF is the way forward for me....now just need to accessorise!
I'm thinking the front compartment (with the divider) could be used for gym kit incl. trainers and then the back bit for the work items. Would these below all fit?
Front Section:
- Small Packing Cube for clothes - I'm assuming I can only have a small cube as I will also have trainers in here. Can you put clothes in a small cube or is it a bit pointless and maybe should just put directly into the bag?
- Small Packing Cube for trainers - Would this hold size 12 (UK) shoes?
Back Section:
- Brain Cell - Any idea on size for a IBM Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with 9 cell battery??
- Horizontal Freudian Slip for the documents
- Snake Charmer for the leads - I assume this can be used, even though it states it is for the Brain Bag and Smart Alec bags?
- Absolute Shoulder Strap
- Key Strap
