Cimmeria by T. M. De Vos
Červená Barva Press, 2016
T.M. De Vos is a 2015 Sozopol Fiction Seminars fellow; Co-Editor-in-Chief of Gloom Cupboard; and staff member of The Atlas Review. Her work has appeared in Juked, The Pacific Review, burntdistrict, Moonshot Magazine, Quiddity, Hawaii Pacific Review, Painted Bride Quarterly, and the Los Angeles Review, among others. She has been named as a semifinalist for the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award and the Paumanok Poetry Award. De Vos is also the recipient of fellowships from Murphy Writing Seminars, Summer Literary Seminars, and the Cullman Center at the New York Public Library. She is currently working on her first novel.
"Some poets jump up and down, make faces, pretend to act smart, or witty, or stupid as they write. T.M. De Vos comes up to your table as you sit alone in a cafe, sits down in the empty chair, and starts talking to you in near whisper. You're surprised at first, don't know how to react, but are soothed by the softness of her voice, the warmth it projects, push out of your mind the din than surrounds you, and let yourself be drawn in by her words. There isn't a single lie, a hint at pretense in what she says. It is all so honest and simple. Her story is yours but she tells it in a way you would have never thought of and you see yourself differently. You're amazed. You're grateful to her for having sat down at your table. You've gained a friend."
-Yuriy Tarnawsky, author of The Placebo Effect Trilogy
"An illuminating collection, Cimmeria inspects human intimacies. These poems are at once clinical and compassionate as they slip from the ordinary to horror, from a boy's red balloon to his bag of blood. T.M. De Vos enlarges as she vexes our grounding in the everyday."
-Renato Rosaldo, cultural anthropologist and author of Diego Luna's Insider Tips
"Cimmeria plumbs modern relationships from intimate perspectives. The poems talk from across the room, then sit down and whisper unexpected truths. Where the 21st century keeps the bright and beautiful at the forefront, De Vos provides a rich depth of field that shows there is nothing of significance to fill the vacuum left from loss."
-John Gosslee, editor of Fjords Review and author of 12: Sonnets for the Zodiac
"In her collection Cimmeria, poet T.M. De Vos opens up a complex world of brutal emotional pain delivered in elegant, precise, yet emotive language. We are taken through a landscape scarred by anguish and littered with memories ground down to a powder by unsuccessful, at times stifling relationships. But the look back upon this scorched earth of ardent scars is that from a vantage point of forgiveness and transcendence. De Vos is magically able to simultaneously condemn and absolve the cruelty that lives within all of us."
-Alex Pruteanu, author of Gears
"T.M. De Vos reaches beneath the surface of experience to examine what is primary and primordial in everyday-and not so everyday-actions. Her examinations sometimes cut like a surgeon's knife, other times magnify like a biologist's microscope, to reveal what (often) has been taken away from those who try to give. The precision of her language and clarity of her imagery open our eyes to what has remained hidden, buried and closed off for too long."
-Thaddeus Rutkowski, author of Haywire, Tetched, and Roughhouse
"T. M. De Vos sounds the depths of what we truly know. With tremendous tenderness, yearning and passion in her voice, she gives us the visceral truth, including the literal blood, bone and guts of experience. By knowing where the limits of desire come from, herself, she is able to wisely accept what it is that life offers."$7.00 | 36 Pages | In Stock

The Last Gun by Anne Harding Woodworth
Červená Barva Press, 2016
Anne Harding Woodworth is the author of five books of poetry, the most recent being Unattached Male (Poetry Salzburg, 2014). The Last Gun is her fourth chapbook after Up From the Root Cellar and Herding, both from Červená Barva Press. A selection from The Last Gun won the 2015-2016 COG Poetry Award out of Cogswell College, San Jose, CA, judged by poet A. Van Jordan, who wrote: "You'll find that The Last Gun is 'a gathering place for... admirers, rememberers, the once-armed.'" Harding Woodworth lives in Washington, D.C., where she is a member of the Poetry Board at the Folger Shakespeare Library.
"Just when you thought you knew all the arguments in America's gun debate, here comes Anne Harding Woodworth's powerful chapbook, The Last Gun. In these haunting poems, the "last" gun clears its throat and speaks. He speaks his fears and hopes in a voice as unexpected as it is unsettling. We almost feel sorry for him as we follow his arrest, imprisonment, and more. These poems aim straight at the rhetoric. They trigger some laughs but mostly they lament a country in which we hear too much from guns. Guns usually get what they want. But here, in this smart, insightful collection, Anne Harding Woodworth only appears to show the gun's humanity. Actually, she shows us our own."
-Joseph Ross, Author of Ache, Gospel of Dust, and Meeting Bone Man
An excerpt from The Last Gun was the winner of the 2015-2016 COG Poetry Awards (Cogswell Polytechnical College, San Jose, CA), judged by poet A. Van Jordan, who wrote:
The Last Gun opens with smoke and closes with a bang. These poems toggle between the spirits of the living and the spirits the living carry into death "to ask questions, to contemplate/ a state of being that is no more." These poems care about what we carry with us on our journeys and how others hold us in memory. As a reader, you'll find that The Last Gun is "a gathering place for... admirers, rememberers, the once-armed," and this poet has prepared us both "for the journey... where it will be judged," and for the "deeds on earth."$7.00 | 37 Pages | In Stock

Fire Tongue by Zvi A. Sesling
Červená Barva Press, 2016
Zvi A. Sesling has published poetry in numerous magazines both in print and online in the United States, Great Britain, Ireland France, New Zealand, India, Canada, Australia and Israel. Among the publications are: Midstream, Voices Israel, Saranac Review, New Delta Review, Plainsong, Asphodel, Ibbetson St., Blue Lyre, Door Is Ajar, Scapegoat, The Chaffin Journal, Ship of Fools, Levure Litteraire, The Moth, First Literary Review—East, and Main Street Rag. He was awarded First Prize (2007) in the Reuben Rose International Poetry Competition. In 2008 he was selected to read his poetry at New England/Pen "Discovery" by Boston Poet Laureate Sam Cornish. He was a featured reader in the Jewish Poetry Festival in Brookline, MA. He is a regular reviewer for the Boston Small Press and Poetry Scene and is Editor of the Muddy River Poetry Review and publisher of Muddy River Books. Sesling has been a featured reader in various venues in the Boston area, San Diego, the Massachusetts Poetry Festival and the Boston Poetry Festival. Sesling has also read on local radio and cable television programs. He is author of King of the Jungle, (Ibbetson St., 2010), and a chapbook Across Stones of Bad Dreams (Červená Barva Press, 2011). He has taught at Suffolk University, Emerson College and Boston University. He lives in Chestnut Hill, MA with his wife Susan J. Dechter.
In Fire Tongue, the poems are precise and unsparing as they probe old questions of how and why the unspeakable enters our lives. In terse, suspenseful language and lines that are as light as their subjects they carry are heavy, indeed ominous, Sesling looks for hope, for what can redeem us. The poet finds the answer in our ability to listen, to feel, to own a conscience, and to value life.
-Afaa Michael Weaver
Poet Zvi Sesling is at a point in life where there is much more in his past than in his future. In "Fire Tongue" there is delicate balance of the past, present and speculation of what is to come. Sesling fearlessly faces what we all feel deep in our marrow - our own mortality. As a highly skilled poet with a gimlet eye, Sesling pulls this off with a mixture of humor and pathos. No word is wasted... life is too short for that... Sesling ,my friends, is well acquainted with the night.
-Doug Holder, Ibbetson Street Press, Adjunct Professor of Creative Writing/Endicott College
Fire Tongue takes us on a journey down Zvi Sesling's "road of sorrows." Here is madness, pain, cities of the dead, remnants of the lost, vast fields of suffering, outcroppings of cruelty, deserts of war and violence. With a dream-like clarity and precision reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch, Sesling shows us what we cannot deny about our nature, our history, our times. This is poetry as ritual incantation, a fiery tongue in its own right, teaching us how to navigate and thus perhaps begin to understand our harsh and bloody terrain.$17.00 | ISBN: 978-0-9966894-4-1 | 87 Pages | In Stock

from Hvar: under tiny days, like through

of ink spilled on a newspaper, they bleed out

their shadows' needles like after a vial of lavender.

THE CHINTZ AGE tales of love and loss for a new new york by Ed Hamilton
Červená Barva Press, 2015
Ed Hamilton is the author of Legends of the Chelsea Hotel: Living with the Artists and Outlaws of New York's Rebel Mecca (Da Capo, 2007). His fiction has appeared in dozens of small journals, including Limestone, The Journal of Kentucky Studies, SoMa Literary Review, Exquisite Corpse, Bohemia, Omphalos, and in translation in the Czech Republic's Host. His non-fiction has appeared in The Villager, Chelsea Now, The Huffington Post, and Living With Legends: Hotel Chelsea Blog. Ed lives in New York City. Visit his website at www.edhamilton.nyc
Just as Soylent Green is people, so The Chintz Age is now. Everything is cheaper and chintzier than in the past, from consumer products to culture itself. Our great cities, and, in particular, New York, are being transformed as we speak, as rising rents squeeze out the artists and bohemians who honed and burnished the city's glittering cutting edge. So should we look backward in teary-eyed nostalgia for the glorious past, or grit our teeth and move forward, accepting the inevitability of change in order to carve out a place for ourselves in this Brave New New York? This book of gritty urban fairy tales represents a heartfelt prayer for the future of the arts in New York, as well as a blueprint for a moral and spiritual resistance to the forces of cultural philistinism.
In seven stories and a novella, Ed Hamilton takes on this clash of cultures between the old and the new, as his characters are forced to confront their own obsolescence in the face of this rapidly surging capitalist juggernaut. Ranging over the whole panorama of New York neighborhoods—from the East Village to Hell's Kitchen, and from the Bowery to Washington Heights—Hamilton weaves a spellbinding web of urban mythology. Punks, hippies, beatniks, squatters, junkies, derelicts, and anarchists—the entire pantheon of urban demigods—gambol through a grungy subterranean Elysium of dive bars, cheap diners, flophouses, and shooting galleries, searching for meaning and a place to make their stand.
"There's something remarkable about the way the author manages to celebrate the Chelsea's singular atmosphere — the exuberant aspiring artists, the divorced movie stars, the disheveled blonde who may have Tourette's and who lingers in the lobby hissing like a snake — without ever forgetting how toxic the air is for many of the people who come desperate to breathe it."

Trailerville by John Dufresne
Trailerville by John Dufresne
Červená Barva Press, 2015
John Dufresne is the author of two short story collections, The Way That Water Enters Stone and Johnny Too Bad, and the novels Louisiana Power & Light, Love Warps the Mind a Little, both New York Times Notable Books of the Year, Deep in the Shade of Paradise, and Requiem, Mass. His books on writing, The Lie That Tells a Truth and Is Life Like This? are used in many university writing programs. He's the editor of the anthology Blue Christmas. His short stories have twice been named Best American Mystery Stories, in 2007 and 2010. He's a professor at Florida International University in Miami. He is a 2013 Guggenheim Fellow in Fiction. His latest novel is No Regrets, Coyote. A sequel, I Don't Like Where This Is Going will be published in April 2016.
It's Labor Day weekend at the Trailerville Mobile Home Park in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. Merdelle Harris's husband of forty-one years is rapidly deteriorating with Alzheimer's. She is determined to care for him, to save him if she can. In saving Bobby she's saving her own life, she believes. There are days he doesn't know her, doesn't know himself. Arlis Bryant lives in the trailer next door with his daughter, her three kids, and her beer-drinking, hot-tempered boyfriend. It's awful crowded in there, and the boyfriend thinks someone needs to go. Arlis has fallen for Merdelle, and his attentions are both a comfort and a torment to her. She has to choose between the man who loved her once and the man who loves her now, between the past and the future.
Trailerville, the first play by novelist John Dufresne, is all about love, in all its flavors: first love, unrequited love, unbridled passion, doomed young love, the love of parents for an adult child they don't really understand, the love that grows over time in a marriage, love that is blind to the beloved's faults (even if no one else is), and ultimately, what it means to love yourself. This may sound like a recipe for heartwarming romantic comedy, so let me note that one of Dufresne's strengths as a novelist is his ability to undercut sentimentality with black humor; that talent is in evidence here as well. But Trailerville is also a very sad play, because it acknowledges that love is messy and complicated and often hurts as much as—or more than—it heals.

Becoming an Ancestor Poems by Lucille Lang Day
Becoming an Ancestor Poems by Lucille Lang Day
Červená Barva Press, 2015
Lucille Lang Day is the author of nine previous poetry collections and chapbooks, including The Curvature of Blue, The Book of Answers, and Infinities. Her first poetry collection, Self-Portrait with Hand Microscope, received the Joseph Henry Jackson Award in Literature; her most recent chapbook, Dreaming of Sunflowers: Museum Poems, won the Blue Light Poetry Award. She has also published a children's book, Chain Letter, and a memoir, Married at Fourteen: A True Story, which received a PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Literary Award and was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award in Creative Nonfiction. Day earned her M.F.A. in creative writing at San Francisco State University and her Ph.D. in science/mathematics education at the University of California at Berkeley. The founder and director of a small press, Scarlet Tanager Books, she also served for seventeen years as the director of the Hall of Health, an interactive museum in Berkeley. She lives in Oakland, California, with her husband, writer Richard Michael Levine. Her website is http://www.lucillelangday.com.
"The poems in Becoming an Ancestor begin in autobiography, move into history, and branch backward and forward through genealogy, offering instruction on the natural world along the way. Lucille Lang Day recreates her ancestors with scrupulous detail and often stunning images until her poems read like the history of anyone "born of the myths of Europe/and North America." These myths propel Day to tell us of migrations, mutations, secrets, heartbreak, disappointments, defiance, death, and resilience—in other words, of life in all its complexity as she shows us all "which way is home" in our shared fate of becoming ancestors."
—Lynne Knight, author of Again
"Soulfully thrilling, the poems in Becoming an Ancestor constitute—historically, geographically, emotionally, caringly—a mindful poet's family picture album. Following centuries of fateful migrations, Lucille Lang Day becomes the California teller of tales that wow us with her own intimate versions of how need, time and again, restores our lives to living streams of love."
—Al Young, California Poet Laureate Emeritus
"At the poetic heart of Lucille Lang Day's Becoming an Ancestor is a series of vivid historical poems starting in the early 1600s when 13-year-old Elizabeth sails to Plymouth on the Mayflower. Rowland is in the Gold Rush, Nathan in the Union Army. Old maid Angenette has an out-of-wedlock baby with a Wampanoag Indian. The ancestors tell Day, "Welcome home. The elders have been waiting for you./Listen to their drums, the beat/of your own heart." As the poet comes closer to becoming an ancestor herself, she details her losses and her fears, and she worries whether she is creating a masterpiece or an old pot. Read this old pot, and you will find the hand of a master."
—Penelope Scambly Schott, author of Lillie Was a Goddess, Lillie Was a Whore
"Becoming an Ancestor carries us from the very beginning of this great clock-universe through human migrations to the bitter end, where however a horned lark is singing beside a field of silver hairgrass in winter. When this confluence produces Lucille Lang Day, who sings the world as both a family member and a scientist, and her daughters and grandchildren, they appear in the life-lines of her poems both as the homecoming of historical pilgrimages and as intertwining swirls of DNA. Here too the endings can be bitter as family members slip away. But the music of her poetry remains."$17.00 | ISBN: 978-0-9861111-6-7 | 118 Pages | In Stock

He teaches in the MFA Program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and is the founding editor of Natural Bridge, a journal of contemporary literature.
Cover art: Ethan Shaltout and Steven Schreiner
Belly is a sequence of confessions. It is a quiet yet intense journey into the deepest wells of a maturing heart. Schreiner writes movingly about the painful transience of love and loss, the forces of memory and childhood, delineated by the revision of seasons and the symbolism of flowers as death, as remembrance. Belly reconciles the permanence of family in all its anguish and grief with the consciousness and inevitability of what supremely makes us human: forgiveness.

Hamburgers and Berliners and other courses in between by Matt Potter
Hamburgers and Berliners and other courses in between by Matt Potter
Červená Barva Press, 2015
Australian-born Matt Potter lives in Adelaide but keeps part of his psyche in Berlin. He is the founding editor of Pure Slush, Pure Slush Books, Truth Serum Press and Lit Bulb international writing festival. By day he has been a social worker, an English as a Second Language teacher, and oh, many other things. Find more of his work at http://mattcpotter.webs.com/
Matt Potter's Hamburgers and Berliners took me to Germany—with brief forays to Austria, Portugal and other European countries—without me having to shift an inch from my sofa. Potter's prose is, as always, absorbing, amusing, enlightening and engaging. If you are thinking of a trip to Europe (or Australia, where Potter originates) make sure you read Hamburgers and Berliners before you go. This intimate portrait of an Australian abroad should be nestled in your hand luggage beside your spare undies and bottled water—it's just as essential. Potter examines the differences between cultures big and small—between countries, continents or, at the other end of the scale, the microcultures that exist within a block or a street. He constantly questions the what and the why of things, observing idiosyncrasies and habits and ingrained patterns of thought in a way that makes you see your own surroundings and behaviours afresh. Never uncomfortably disrespectful (though often funny), Potter had me smirking with some of his descriptions and going "Aha!" at others.
Hamburgers and Berliners is that rare thing, a guide to humanity, forgiving in its delivery but covering every niggly aspect of living as a foreigner abroad in delicious detail, warts and all. If you want to give your brain a holiday, get it, read it, and have a ball.
—Gill Hoffs, author of The Sinking of RMS Tayleur: The Lost Story of the Victorian Titanic and Wild: a collection
Matt Potter unflinchingly allows us inside his mind and heart, sharing fears and insecurities that most of us would never dare to reveal. His book is both poignant and funny, and through Potter's eyes we get a vivid picture of Germany—its landscapes, people, customs and quirks—while also witnessing one man's struggle to make sense of his own life as well as life at large.
—Len Kuntz, author of The Dark Sunshine
Matt Potter's Hamburgers and Berliners brings back the adventures, the frustrations and the newness of moving to Germany. These honest missives made me want to do it all over again.$18.00 | ISBN: 978-0-9966894-0-3 | 273 Pages | In Stock

To Part Is to Die a Little by Claudia Serea
Červená Barva Press, 2015
Claudia Serea is a Romanian-born poet who immigrated to the U.S. in 1995. Her poems and translations have appeared in Field, New Letters, 5 a.m., Meridian, Word Riot, Apple Valley Review, The Red Wheelbarrow, and many others. A four-time Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, she is the author of three other full-length collections: Angels & Beasts (Phoenicia Publishing, Canada, 2012), A Dirt Road Hangs From the Sky (8th House Publishing, Canada, 2013), and Nothing Important Happened Today (Broadstone Books, forthcoming, 2016). Her poem My Father's Quiet Friends in Prison, 1958-1962 received the New Letters Readers Award in 2013. Serea co-hosts The Williams Readings poetry series in Rutherford, NJ, and she is the founding editor of the National Translation Month. More at cserea.tumblr.com.
Serea's poems instantiate with startling clarity and empathy what it means to be at once deeply rooted in the world and permanently dislocated, a cultural curator and translator, a juggler of conflicting desires. Her pendulum-like sway between her homeland, Romania, and the adopted/adoptive one, America, creates a fluid space of in-betweenness that allows her transnational speakers to choose not to choose, and to articulate, instead, what it means to live attuned to the distinct textures of these two worlds' beauty and grit, to their flute songs and "half-lit solitude[s]." Her incisive eye gives us the "Plexiglass politeness" of America alongside the de-humanizing deprivations of life in (post-) communist Romania, the guarded emotions of New World suburbia alongside the odyssean waiting that has become her parents' life in the village house with a "wasps' nest in its bosom" and chickens ready "to scratch the road for coins and worms."
To Part Is to Die a Little is a spare yet rapturous chant about an unending emigration and the continuous return to the soul of one culture in the language of another.
—Mihaela Moscaliuc, author of Father Dirt (Alice James Books, 2010)
Readers of To Part Is to Die a Little should prepare for an emotional journey, as they witness dramatic changes in the speaker's character and her surroundings. Deeply moving poems chronicle poignant milestones spanning from the speaker's decision to leave her country of birth to settling into her country of choice, adopting her new life and seemingly making peace with an inherent duality voiced as "Let me be the pendulum/between my two lives." We meet and sympathize with poignant and vivid characters such as a Thai busboy, a Russian grocery bagger, Danny-the-butcher and other "Stars of the Underground." Congratulations to Claudia Serea for a well-crafted and brilliantly structured book!$17.00 | ISBN: 978-0-9861111-5-0 | 96 Pages | In Stock

Great recipe, DH loved it. I'm not a huge fan of the sour cream and chives flavor, so I thought it was good, but not much different from that. If you love sour cream and chives you will love this!
Ideal for a gathering of friends, this was very much appreciated by mine!!! Very easily prepared, I used the chives, having plenty in my garden, but, I must confess, omitted the chilli, I wanted the youngsters to eat it! A different potato bake, I loved the combination of the two potatoes, definitely on my keepers list!
REALLY AN OUTSTANDING POTATO CASSEROLE, & for me, the inclusion of the sweet potatoes makes all the difference in the world, as did the cilantro cream sauce ~ In fact, I took your suggestion & doubled the sauce! One thing I didn't do, however, was to peel the potatoes ~ I like the taste & texture of the peeling so left the taters that way! Thanks for a wonderful keeper recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for this month's VIP chef in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 13]
Oh, yum!! Not sure I can add much more to what has already been said. I used the canned green chilies and felt the results could not have been better. I actually have a potato recipe that calls for white, red and sweet potatoes. It's been my potato recipe of choice for years....well, this one trumps it! So much flavor is added by the cilantro cream sauce....just loved it! Thank you for a terrific recipe.
Amazing. I used a 4 ounce can of green chilies, and it was just delicious.
Loved this! When I first took the cooked potatoes out of the oven (before the addition of the cilantro cream), I was thinking that this wasn't going to be anything special -- the potato slices weren't crisped or browned or anything. After the cilantro cream and the last bit of baking, though, this definitely grew on me. A lot. I wish I had gotten a photo of it before I removed it from the pan and messed it up, because the white and orange with flecks of green were very striking. I actually happened to discover that I like it even more cold than I do warm (odd, but true). Definitely a keeper, thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 08
This is so delicious! The only thing I did different was instead of the sour cream I used Honduran crema (which is like sour cream with heavy whipping cream, you can buy it a a latina market). It was so good I ate a bunch before I even served it. I am definitely going to make it all the time.

Exploring the Raspberry Pi through real-world projects
Raspberry Pi is obviously not a desktop system. If using the terminal seems too strange and cryptic to you, you should start with the desktop and work your way to the command line gradually.
From its very conception, the RasPi was conceived as an energy-efficient PC for multimedia applications, and it is clearly intended for use as an embedded system. The hardware is ideally suited for use as a server or process computer, or for controlling tasks in hobby projects that are not too power hungry. The configuration makes it possible to connect necessary peripherals, and the header practically begs you to put together additional features to suit your own needs. A specialized Linux distributions will help make the first steps easier for novices.
The developers have achieved their original goal of making computer technology tangible for interested – and especially young – people. The winter and school year are in their most difficult phases; for the next project in your basement, Raspberry Pi receives our warmest recommendations.

Elkhart Daily Review (Newspaper) - February 14, 1906, Elkhart, Indiana ■t ESTABLISHED IN 1872. ELKHART, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1906 PRICE TWO CENTS.DOING HARD THINKING UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW SOME SENATORS STAND On the Provisions of the Railway Rate Bill—Line-Up Looks Like It Was Close. Washtn^on, Feb. 14.—^Thore were Indications at the meeting of the senate committee on Interstate commerce that an aniendment would be proposed on which supporters of the court review feature for railroad rate legislation may agree. The phraseology of the amendment has not been determined, but may be decided upon at a conference of Seuntors Elklns, Aldrich and one or two others opposed to the bill as it stands. Senator Foster-took an active part in the discussion by aslv-ing questions cnncerniug the powers of the courts under the Hepburn bill, and whether it would interfere with any fundamental rights. They Don't Know Where 1 hcy're At. Senator Dolliver explained the rate-making section of the bill and the intention of the persons who drew it, declaring that it was the purpose to carry out the provisions of the constitution giving the government the right to regulate inter.state commerce "between states. Neither "faction in the committee is able to line up its forces and know just where it stands. One or two Democrats have not made their positions known. Of the Republicans Dolliver, Clapp and Cullom favor the bill as it came from the house, and Elkins, Aldrich, Keau Foraker and Crane will not vote to report a bill which does not contain a provision for court revleAv of the orders of the interstate commerce commission. Vote Will Be Very Close. Supporters of the,house bill have claimed all of the Democrats, but the speech of Tillman in tlie senate Monday Is said to have made them uncertain as to his vote, and so far as known McLaurin has not made his position clear. If these Democratic votes are lost ' the bill could not be reported in its present form. If one of the votes was lost the committee would be tied, as Cullom cannot get here to vote on Friday, and Dolliver h>i3 been imable to arrange a pair la the committee. Elkins and His Own Bill. Senator Elkins, speaking of his own rate bill, said: "This bill uses substantially the words of the president iu" relation to railway regulation. In every respect the bill complies with and is in entire harmony with the president's position, and is outlined in his messages to congress and his speeches. It is also in harmony with the idea ns set forth in Senator Knox's Pittsburg speech." PliAINT OP INDEPENDENTS They Are Oppressed by the Trust, but Dare Not Tell Anybody. Washington, Feb. 14. — The letter Gillespie ti'ied to get into the house record was written by Frank C. Drane, secretary of the Bituminous Coal 7 Trades League of Pennsylvaiüa, an independent combine, that is fighting an alleged hostile combine of the Pennsylvania and other railways. The letter says that there has existed for a long time a combination of the Pennsylvania railroad with the anthracite and bituminous coal mining and shipping companies to stifle all competition. Drane says it Is unfortunately true that not one of his associates In the bituminous league would l)e able to give sworn testimony before an investigating committee of congress, as "we have never been able to get evidence sufficiently strong to enter a suit at law, nor have we been able to get the independent operators united so as to test the Elkins law,, many fearing the consequences the Pennsylvania railroad officials know so well how to inflict upon any operator who dares openly complain." He recites the grievances to which the independent operators are subjected through alleged discrimination, particularly the poft coal oi>erators in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and i. West Virginia, and says the Independ-^ ents". are helpless. The letter asserts '''tliat tlie Pennsylvania railroad has established rules that only certain markets can be supplied by oue region, and that tlie private cars of the soft coai trust have unlimited choice of marlcet to, ship coal in according to the demands therefore. The independent operator, the letter continues, has to see his mines idle for want of cars and Mb labor moves to other districts in search of steadier 'work. Thus, he adds, flourishing towns have been abandoned by business peojjle to follow the mine worker to the busier region. • After giving the belief of the writer as to the ownership of the coal properties—that the Pennsylvania and other roads own mos-t of them—he adds: that "the Wabash controls the West Virginia Central, of which Senator Gorman, Senator Elkins and ex-Senator Davis, of West Virginia, are Joint owners and an enormous acreage of West Virginia F^ soft coal.". Senate and House in Brief. Washington, Feb. 14. — Aside from the time required for the transaction of routine Business, which was of no special interest, the entire session of the senate was devoted to amendments to the shipping bill. The proposed amendments will be votoil on today. An executive session was held. The fortifications appropriation bill held the attention of the house. Tho blil was not completed at adjournment. Gillespie of Texas made an unsuccessful attempt to get into the record a statement of grievances of the coal operaitors and shippers of Pennsylvania. ' . All Because of Poor Bookkeeping. Washington, Feb. 14.—At a conference held here of comptrollers, auditors, treasurers and other city officials Interested it was alleged that "The most prolific source of municipal graft, its securest hiding place, its most effective instrument In seeking immunity, is the chaos which exists in the cliissification of municipal accounts and the absence of uniformity in mimicipal bookkeeping." liaFolIettn and Lawson's Committee. Washington, Feb. 14.—Senator La-Follette has declined tho invitation extended by Thomas W. Lawson to become a member of tlio committee to vote the proxies of a number of policyholders ot: two of the lif^ insurance companies of New York at their meetings tills year. The senator found it impossible to undertake the work because of the pressure of public business. President Would Help Japan. Washington, Feb. 14. — President Roosevelt lias taken official cognizance of the famine which has grown to such serious proportions in northern Japan. In an appeal to the people of the United States the president requests that contributions for the sufferers from the famine be forwarded to the American National Red Cross.IT'S Â STATE OF THINGS CbicagoMan Makes a Startling Assertion to an Association of Canners in Council. Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. 14.—At the opening session of the National Canners' association annual meeting here Dr. A. Frazer, of Chicago, made the startling allegation that "graft, corruption and embezzlement have been found lurking in financial and political circles, and men hitherto considered of stainless reputation hftve been dragged from their pedestals with reputations blasted and fortunes squandered." Dr Frazer deviated to this extent from a long address of a technical i^^r tura on the canning Industry of the country. Flnley Acker, of Philadelphia;, another speaker, dwelt on the wisdom of giving quality rather than quantity, which he declared made a successful business. He touched on pure and impure foods, and noted with satisfaction a trend for tlie betterment of conditions in that particular.WE'RE GOING TO SETTLE IT Ambassador White Watching for the PsycholoBical Moment to Do Things at Algeciras.

In the little Balkan state of Rou-manla it has been the custom from time Immemorial for towns by the river Danube to keep the Christmas feast by a peculiar ceremony called "blessing the river." This used to be carried out on a scaffolding erected on the frozen river, but owing to an accident, when the Ice broke, and hundreds of people were drowned, it is now held upon the bank. The people wear turbans of colored paper and carry long, white wands. Some are dressed to Bepresent Biblical characters. The service, conducted by priests, lasts about half an hour, and then the ice Is broken and a small wooden cross thrown Into the water. ,Then people rush into the icy river after this emblem, and the person who secures it is supposed to be assured of great.good luck for the coming year. Tbe Pall of the Hennlns. The hennlns or headdresses worn by ladies of the fifteenth century were in shape of horns and so long that a woman's face appeared to be In the center of her figure. The clergy condemned them and threatened the wearers with perdition, but for all that they were worn higher tiian ever. At last a strolling evangelist at Paris promised absolution to all who would destroy the hennlns, and the mob went to work and wrecked tho headdresses whenever they appeared in public. The hen-nins were trampled under foot and their wearers insulted all over Paris. Scores of lives were lost in the efforts of the cavaliers to defend the hennlns from the rabble, but in vain, and the enormous headdresses disappeared, some other feminine absurdity taking their place. A Precise AnsTrer. "Lawyers are supposed to be the most literal minded men," said an eminent member of the bar, "but every now and then counsel in course of practice will encounter witnesses who can give them points in the matter of literal answers. An Irishman was called to testify in a damage suit arising out of the death of a man 'at the bands of a bull,' BO to speak. ' 'Are we to understand, sir,' asked the prosecuting attorney, 'that the deceased, Patrick Flannlgan, was your father?' " 'He was till the bull killed him,' was the reply of the wary witness." Bntoherjr In War. In one of Du Guesclin's victories so many English, were, taken captive that even the humblest soldier amodg the French had one or more prisoners.

The partners for the supper were selected in a novel manner. Card board hearts bearing the names of the ladies were hung on the wall, and the men assumed the role of Cupid and made targets of the hearts for bow and arrow practice, the heart strucli designating that particular Cupid's partner. . Tlie home was prettily decorated with festoons of vari-colored hearts and other features suggestive of the day.

Europe's Shadow Economy: As Big As Germany
On an unweighted average basis, European shadow economies are 22.1% of total economic activity or around $3.55 trillion (as large as Germany's whole economy). A report by Tax Research, suggests that Austria and Luxemburg have the smallest shadow economies in the euro area at 9.7% of GDP, while Bulgaria at 35.3% and Romania at 32.6% top the list. Of the major economies, Germany clocks in at 16%, France at 15%, Italy at 27% and Spain 22.5%. Stunningly, in terms of tax revenues lost, the shadow economy translates into an estimated €864bn or just over 7% of euro area GDP and, in context, accounts for 105.8% of the enture healthcare spending of the EU. It appears that more and more Europeans have no choice but to shift to a shadow economy (as taxes rise among other things), and this is the biggest threat to the entire economy. This is likely one reason the 'austerity' actions have not been successful since far less taxes are being paid via the conventional channels.
The average shadow economy is 22.1% of the nation's economy...
Which equates to some dramatic absolute numbers...
and the corresponding losses of taxes are huge...
16 EU member states have a situation where the tax lost as a consequence of the existence of the shadow economy as a proportion of the annual deficit exceeds 100% - suggesting that tackling tax evasion could, in theory, entirely clear the annual deficit. Though of course, the politicians will not see the unintended consequence of that 'evasion' tackling that merely drives the economy more underground.
- advertisements -
They ain't gonna stop until they have taxed (and taxed and taxed and...) every last copper tin penny Euro.
Beware of the Shadow....... they will tax everything and its coming soon. Look for personal identification chip implants. It will contain an inventory of assets, current accounts, and liabilities. If you have assets not on the inventory you will be a tax dodger - a revolutionary - worthy of death. No buying or selling without the 'chip.' What better way to tax every transaction. Coming soon to a banker's office of implants. First boobs (that was for getting that loan for the boat you drive four or eight times a year) then chips. Get them in the drive-through window please. Be the first sheeple to comply and you get an extra $1,000,000,000 credit. It's magically created in our digital 'ones' and 'zreos' printing room.
the indigenous missionaria protectiva would kick in before that's allowed to happen in the united states, if mandatory implanting were actually attempted there would be a bloody revolution virtually overnight. millions upon millions of people would rise up.
We can only hope!
The problem is there are a few idiots who'll volunteer to get it.
Then the government will slowly get everyone chipped. eg. if you want welfare you must have a chip. If want your government pension you must have a chip, etc. etc., right down to borrowing a book from the local library.
Naturally there'll be a few hold-outs but they'll simply be labelled as potential terrorists and trouble-makers.
Useful idiots will turn them in.
Look on the bright side.....at least it isn't 3x-7x's bigger than Germany (like JPM's shadow banking system is over US GDP).
Of course, this assumes that untaxed behavior will magically stay the same if it can be taxed ... all it shows is that people don't trust or respect the government, in varying degrees.
Let's phrase it as a positive thing, that the govt's are being restrained by people acting independently of them!
FU Bernanke and FU Eurocrats!
There's something to be said for the idea that as more and more people become comfortable with black markets, they're less likely to revert to traditional government controlled markets.
Once you go black (markets), you don't go back.
Ssshhhtt... It's like the paper/physical metals diversion.
Starve the beast, then beat it over the head for good measure.
And the same thing is going on here in the U.S., of course.
The last stat I saw on the U.S, shadow economy pegged it at around 9%. It's got to be well north of that by now what with the labor participation rate sinking and all of those brand new "sole proprietors" and new "entrepreneurs" (operating from their basements w/NO customers) that our new economy is generating.
The shadow economy is happening in spades here where I live (SW VA, US). Drugs alone....
No, not that so much. Here in the boonies we've kind of created a thing I'd call Libertarian Communism. Paul, down the road, is a heck of a woodworker. He needs some special tool. Well, I have a machine shop...no money changes hands - next week I need some cool jigs, Paul provides them - again, no money.
We have lawyers, doctors, farmers, mechanics, woodworkers, loggers, builders, you name it - all working like this, the old way - I owe ya one - just a nod, not even a handshake unless materials cost dominate, in which case, you buy 'em, I machine them kind of deal.
Need a bumper welded back on? A fix for your plow or rake? A prototype of a new invention? DC does that. Need your computer built/fixed - DC does that too. DC like nice furniture - Paul does that. DC gets sick - Cathy handles it. DC needs legal help, Sam is there...you get the idea.
Need your garden tilled? Ryan does that. Need solar panels hung up? Mark takes time off farming to help. Most of the time, zero money is involved. It's very difficult to figure out how to tax that, but that's not the main reason we do - it's just that we are civilized here.
I'm so glad I moved away from the wash DC area 35 years ago I can't even describe it.
Sounds like a hotbed of terrrrrism. Prepare to be droned, comrade.
SW VA has been preparing to be droned a long time.

Newsflash: Europe has always had a large shadow economy. Call it "experience with governments", which the much younger US is only figuring out now.
Why do you call these "tax revenues LOST"?
Instead, try to look at it as "private sector earnings SAVED".
And why is the shadow sector "the biggest threat to the entire economy"??
It's a big threat to governments. That's all.
But a big shadow economy is emblematic of FREEDOM.
They hate us for our Freedom.
Its the only way things actually function on a micro level in Europe.
You pay the plumber cash for a odd job , he spends his cash in the village pub / PMU / take away.........
In Ireland the Pint is taxed anyway.............
In europe we have suffered from a lack of money supply since the euro began to form in 1980 ~
You tax the money supply.........there is simply no flow in Europe.
Walk into any French village today.
They are nicely kept but are dead zones with regards local commerce.
The French drank more then Irish at one time.......
Ask yourself why ?
Labour was rewarded pre 1973 /80
The money orbited the local village and town much more so then today in this now grey soviet like world of Lidl & Aldi stores
Perhaps Gypsies of Roma actually have the largest aggregate GDP in Europe..??
Have a look in Italy
Didn't Adolf first come for the (rev up with) Gypsies, then the Commies? Before he went into high gear?
So how are these data obtained? Agents provocateurs? Mafia informants?
Nothing like a bunch of crybaby thieves getting all upset because they aren't able to steal from taxpayers enough! Bunch of worthless fucking tax parasite pieces of shit! If these government fucktards actually PRODUCED something of value for what they earn for just existing in their desk jobs we could solve the 'economic crisis' overnight...
The biggest no brainer of the century, do you really believe, that all krauts are dumbasses? When it's up to cheat Wolfie, believe me, they are more than up to date. And even Kavallerie-Steinbrück-Peer knows that: "Ich kenne meine Pappenheimer" . Hollande, Letta and........Angela do not like that at all.
Just remember, Obama wants the US to be more like Europe. At the rate he is going, our entire GDP will be driven underground.
"London LIBOR Traders plead guilty to boosting Shadow Economy, but plead ignorance, saying that they didn't know that Lady Marmalades was a cash in hand operation."
"We left the details to the Tradition geezer, innit", said a gormless barrow boy trader who declined to be interviewed...
If the €864 billion of lost tax revenues were collected by EU governments, it would be the same €864 billion not being invested or spent by the populations in those economies. So it's isn't really "lost" revenues, it's just that the money remains in the pockets of those who earned it. As it should do, not least because the evidence available confirms that governments waste it or steal it.
That's the rationale all right, and I just happen to agree with it. Aside from blowing up terrorists, the government does almost nothing for me.
€864 would be blown by the governments, anyway. Better to keep it in the hands of the rightful owners than hand it over to crooks.
Long black markets, gray markets, barter, gardens, FREE TRADE, bitchez.
A tax on labor is nothing short of slavery.
Many people go into the underground economy out of necessity; not by choice.
The real problem is trying to get them back into the above-ground economy. They become a lot wiser, smarter and more self-sufficient, developing contacts, networks, etc. and not needing the government at all if they can help it.
The writing's on the wall, but politicians just refuse to acnowledge it. They'd rather waste additional money enforcing the tax laws in order to prolong their corrupt, bankrupt system for as long as possible.
Bottom-line: The Eurotrashleadership sat on tax-cheat lists for years. It is sport in Europe. Only suckers pay.
Hey, wait a minute..?? Sounds like US..!! What was Mitt's effective rate..?? How about Al Gore's..?? Don't Ask-Don't Tell
What is a shadow economy? CASH
Everyone I know is looking for ways to conduct their business in cash. We are headed down the same road.
Shadow economy? I thought we used the term "black market". Who changed the letters? Bastards!!!
Kudos to Bulgaria and Romania, Italy could do better and probably does. If a countries underground economy isn't 60% it isn't trying hard enough.
Govt theft of pvt property goes up, thier take shrinks. Laffer curve. Two reasons for that. 1. The real economy (pvt sector, not govt) shrinks 2. A greater % of whats left goes underground.
That leaves the parasites to get by on the toilet paper with dead people on it, until the crack up boom that is. Long live the underground economy and long live the bitcoin (or any indestructable substitute if it should fall)
Mr. Murphy is a rabid socialist driven by puerile envy of anyone who ever got anything for themselves
The grey economy is the systems last lifeline tbh - the access to informal and private means to an income will be the very affordance stopping the peasants revolting as they try to reduce entitlements.
Governments should be grateful for it. In time they'll realise its easier to leave the proles alone outside the system and concentrate on tightening the screws on the Party faithful
The highest German Finance and Tax court (BFH) has declared in one of his decissions a few years ago the following:
There exists no thing such as "tax morale". According to the court, tax evation has nothing to do with moral, simply because the souvereign is also not acting morally. The deal offered by the authorities is always the same since tax was invented. Whether you pay me this and this or I through you into prison(or in earlier times: I kill you and your family, or I burn down your house, etc. ). This is an offical high court statement saying that it has nothing to do with morale when a person cheats the tax.
The problem what we have now in most parts of the world, is that the superrich and connected people do pay very little taxes compared with their wealth and income. But the little guy, the hardworking middleclass pays for everything.Now they are even ripped off from their savings for the old age.
There exists another decision from the highest court in Germany, the Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht). It says, that the souvereign has to stop the taxation of the income at 50%. To pay more than 50% of what you make is according to them simply total unjustified robbery. And they have reason for this, because the taxation does not stop at 50%.What is the actual tax reality compared to the paradise in the Middle Ages when the tax was 10% of the agricultural production.
If you are single and you have a good paying job or good running business in Germany you have to pay already now close to 50% taxes, starting for each Euro you earn more than 80.000 Euro. This includes income tax, solidarity tax, church tax. Till you reach 80,000 Euro the tax rate for a single is appx 40% on average.
But there a plenty other taxes on top of that. When you spend your hard earned money you buy gas or diesel or need electricity whatever energy the price includes an energy tax. On top of that you pay the sales tax of 19%.
Lets say a liter of gasoline cost 1.80 now. This includes appx 1.30 in taxes. And these things go on and on and on. Buying light bulbs you pay an additional tax, salt, coffee, brandy, tobacco, champagne, buy a house you pay 5% of the price as tax, pay your insurance premium you pay 19% insurance tax . And of course for most of this things there is the sales tax of 19% on top. Only food and books come with 7% sales tax on top only, all other things you need (including alcohol and luxury food) include 19%.
So the real tax quote for a higher middle incomer earner is appx 75 to 80%. And as we all know, the things will end always the same. Its the middle income earners which are paying it all. Now and in the future.
So a flourishing grey economy is nothing else than self defense of the small against the fraudsters from higher up. And what is also always true: The small people are hanged and the big ones walk away free, no matter the enormity of their crimes.

The sequel to the immensely popular Battlefield series, Battlefield 2142 is a sci-fi themed first-person shooter that borrows from the best of Battlefield, but benefits from streamlining to focus on the series' strongest points. Battlefield fans, did this sound familiar: select a machine gunner, to only find your enemies at long range and you in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle? In Battlefield 2142, the number of available soldiers is reduced, and each specialist is better equipped, leading to more balanced play and less regret on which soldier you choose.
What's more, there's 150 years of weapons technology to dig into. That means cloaking devices, sentry guns, hover tanks, massive battle Mechs and much, much more to master. In addition to the classic conquest format (aka capture the flag), the new Titan mode introduces massive, heavily armored, flying warships for each team to defend while targeting the enemy's. With up to 64 players duking it out simultaneously, each battle is a unique, action-packed joy ride!

Pros: Great game vast improvement on the bf2 on concerns with updating. Clan Tags!!!!
Cons: Requires internet to do anything. You need internet to make a character, then to get unlocks like grenades, but after character is made you can play the single player maps and take the kits from dead enemies who have everything unlocked. Requires DSL or higher.

Great Game, Takes Some Time
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: Okay, I played BF2 for 2 years before I got this, and although initially it is VERY frustrating because the guns stink in the beginning, it has really become a more dynamic game than BF2. I don't like EA, but I think they really thought about making this game after BF2. First off, it is much more dynamic. Each class (4) has paths that are very different, unlike in BF2. The maps, graphics, and fluidity of gameplay are much better. Loading times have been cut by 75% compared to BF2. Connection issues are about 25% better than BF2. And the titan mode makes for interesting gameplay.
Cons: The guns are much less accurate and real time gun movements have been installed when you shoot. No more "perfect sniper shots" when you shoot; and although I was very frustrated at first, as I usually only played IO in BF2, I have actually come to love vehicles in this game. The engineer class is very powerful against vehicles for example. Give this game some time, it takes a while to get good, even if you have played BF2 for some time.
Other Thoughts: Overall, there are a lot less problems and more options when compared to BF2. FINALLY, they allow you to create more than one account! up to 5 I think. They also let you add clan tags :). The interface is also improved and the music is more natural and less annoying. Oh, and don't go by the demo, I downloaded it and it not a true rep. of the game. True, there are less air vehicles, but I actually like to fly them now. It has its flaws, but if you like BF2, you should love 2142, just give it some time.

Great game, but a tech failure...
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: Great gameplay, just flat out fun. If it wasn't for the tech issues, this game could have had 5 stars.
Cons: Oh the bugs....
Other Thoughts: If you have Vista, don't even think about buying this. I can't play the game for an hour with out killing my drivers, having to wipe them out and re-install them from scratch. It is not fun. I'm defiantly no slouch when it comes to computers and I have basically given up on this one.

Not bad but definetly not good
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: Kinda fun gameplay. Stays true to the Battlefield theme and style of gameplay. A cheap thrill.
Cons: In single player mode, the AI on the other team is always smarter then your teams is, reguardless of how you set the AI level. The AI is also dumber then it was back in Battlefield 1942. There is also very few levels. Ranking system is very annoying in single player. To acess new weapon choices and abilities you have to gain rank and I would be fine with that except you can only gain rank when you win games. It doesnt matter how many people you kill or points you capture you will only gain rank with a win, and a loss will set you back an insane amount experience wise.
Other Thoughts: I bought Battlefield 1942 way back when it was new and it was a thousand times better then this game. Overall I was disapointed in this game. But at least it was cheap.....

Needs alot of work
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: Unique reality? It's simply a MOD for BF2. NOT a new game in it's entirety. Slightly better graphic's.
Cons: Being a MOD mean's it's 100% problematic in the exact same area's as BF2, from bug's to misbalances in weapons.
Other Thoughts: I was playing this thing in a beta form before public release, and played a short while thereafter before uninstalling it. In my opinion it's a bad MOD. There are several MOD's for BF2 that are certified for ranked server's by EA that are MUCH better and less buggy. Get it if you want a slight change and a bigger headache. Otherwise, your best bet is one of the better designed MOD's that EA doesn't have it's sticky finger's in.

Bugs, bugs, and more bugs, geh
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: I can't stop playing this game.
Cons: I can't stop playing this game.
Other Thoughts: I love this game for its game play and tactics as well as dynamic environments. I must warn you though, this game is buggy as hell. The interface(java?) is poorly programmed, takes a long time to load. Game play is great but there's the usual quirks that every game has - map glitchs, shots not registering, settings being lost, etc. Its still a good game despite the problems, just have a good supply of "stress balls" when the bugs and glitches start showing up. Patches still haven't addressed the bugs and probably never will with ea at the wheel.

On a pathetic comp it still works
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: I bought this game back in October of 2007. Other than borrowing BF1942, this is the most fun with the whole MMORPG type of play, since you can technically customize your soldier in any category you want.
Cons: None that I can blame this game for.
Other Thoughts: Believe it or not I'm playing is game on the most pathetic system and it still works. Azus mobo from 2004 I'm not so sure what the model number is, XP version 2002, Geforce FX 5200 graphics card, an Intel Pentium 4 cpu 2.0ghz, and 1GB of ram I kinda found in the garbage. I'm almost baffled that my comp can take this game.

One of the best games ever
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: I've been playing comp games since role based text games on unix machines in the early 80's. Without a doubt, this is my all time favorite. I stopped playing shooters after Duke-Nukem, just wasn't my preference. A buddy begged me to start playing BF2 and I did for about a month prior to 2142 being released. The gameplay is smooth and it is reasonably balanced. Each of the game modes are a blast. There is nothing more exhilarating than being in a great squad and working together.
Cons: There are numerous bugs related to Punkbuster but can be overcome with research. EA master server will occasionally go on the fritz. I have not had any of the patch problems that others have.
Other Thoughts: While widescreen is not supported natively, you can load into resolutions that are not listed in game. I've been playing at 2560x1600 for a year now and it is awesome!

Love It - Yes i also have bf2.. this is better
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: This game really owns, i have bf2 and there is no real comparison, you just have to get use to the fact it is MODERN warfare... I love the titan mode (bf2 has nothing on it).. The ranking system is outstanding, grafix own other games.
Cons: None really, well i guess if you want to get "nit pickie" then sumtimes when you lose EA connection to master server, can get anoying, however it only happens about 1 of 10 times online,you can also rejoin the server and get your pts back.
Other Thoughts: 8800GTS 320Mb Superclocked

Belongs in the garbage
This review is from: Battlefield 2142 PC Game
Pros: The DVD case and hype makes this game look nice. The concept WOULD HAVE been something nice too. But...
Cons: I swear EA is composed of a bunch of nut jobs. This game came out as a beta product and still is. I've had this game since it came out. You have to install everything that is EA in order to play it. BF2142 wasn't cheap either when it came out and for EA to pull something like this (again mind you) is beyond me.
Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor and don't buy this game. EA Link, which is there to "verify" your purchase, is no longer available so you can't even play the game if you've uninstalled it after their little market change. EA Link has been replaced with EA Downloader, and it's also garbage. I'm not usually one to write harsh reviews like this; but, I am beyond fed up with these half "arsed" games with top dollar prices from EA. It's sickening...Arrrgghh!

"take it from a local..." Top 5 Page for this destination Orlando by shohman
Orlando Travel Guide: 3,238 reviews and 6,596 photos
Orlando gets a bad rap, but it is actually a very cool town if you look beyond the glitz. If you stick to Theme Parks, you are missing the true Orlando. The city itself has a very 'young at heart' attitude, and it is truly a melting pot of different cultures. You won't find many natives down here, and that makes for a great opening line when meeting strangers. There is a great arts community here and there is always something to do.
Most people seem surprised that Orlando has an international demographic. You will find people from all over the world living here. We have a huge island culture (Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Haiti) A Vietnamese section, a large group of folks from the UK and a good mix of other cultures. If you look REALLY hard, each one has restaurant hidden throughout the city, most with non-descript storefronts, but service some of the most satisfying meals anywhere.
For art, there's the Winter Park Art Festival every March that attracts artists from all over the World. Also, there is the yearly Nude Nite art show which is one of the funkiest art shows anywhere.
For nightlife, there is pretty much anything you want. The downtown area has several bars and clubs for any crowd. The dance clubs seem to rotate every couple of years and most have a short life. I'm more of a laid back pub type. Fiddlers Green is a great pub that reminds me of Boston pubs. For a laid back, no frills bar, Casey's on Central Ave is a place every local has been at one time or another. Some of the best people watching anywhere, you are as welcome in a suit as you are in shorts and a t shirt and the staff is great.
There are also several beautiful parks for biking, walking, even a canoe trip and most people here are active.
Please note, some of my tips are from areas just outside the Orlando city line. Areas like Winter Park, Maitland and Casselberry have some great things to offer but an outsider would most likely not know to look there.
Best Pint of Guiness - (tie) Fiddlers Green and Casey's
Best Celebrity Spotting - Golds Gym, Turkey Lake Road: recent sightings include Shaq, Justin Timberlake, Vince McMahon and Triple H, and VT member Shohman
Best After Work Bar- Wall Street Cantina
Best Place to take a walk- Lake Eola
Best Low Carb Meal- blue cheese burger wrap at The Alehouse
Best Place to Feel Ugly, Yet Accepted - Hue
Best Place to Take a Nap - the couch at Tatame Sake and Tea
Best Shave - Broadway Joe's. Where else can you get fed, sung to and shaved smooth as a baby's bottom for just $25?
Best Place For an Out of Towner to Feel at Home - Fiddlers Green
Best Cup of Coffee - Stardust Coffee and Video
Best Butcher - Petty's Meats, Longwood
Best Place to Become a Crime Victim - Walmart Parking lot, Kirkman Rd
Best Sandwich - Boar's Head Ultimate, Publix Deli
Best Stainless Steel Tub of Beer on Ice - Tijuana Flats
Best pho: Pho 88
Best Sushi: Sushi Katana
Best place to feel hip even if you aren't: Stardust Coffee and Video
Best Art Show: Nude Night
Best Place to Catch an Indie film: The Enzian
Best Produce: Winter Park Farmer's Market
Best Place to sit and relax: Palmano's Coffee Roaster
This is Orlando's motto, and I must say they do a great job. Yes, there are run down areas, but they do a great job of making most of the city a sight to behold. The almost constant sunshine also makes it a prime spot for taking great pics.
- Pros:no snow, very hip, cheap to live here
- Cons:brutal, hot Summers

Do you write on Yelp or just look things up?
Mmm, I can see I stand little chance of running across you during my sojourn in Orlando but thank you for the tips. Cheers
Stilll lame: listening to x on WM Player and listening to Peyote on Itunes at same time. LAME. I'll never trust christians again!

Golumpki - Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
This is a version you make in the slow cooker. They don't look pretty, but they are yummy! Many cultures have their version of these. I call them by the Polish version to stay true to my fiance's heritage. This particular recipe actually calls them Swedish and the preparation uses browned meat instead of raw. I've done both and used this version today to save myself some cooking time.
Fix it and Forget it - Feasting with your Slow Cooker Page 122, "Swedish Cabbage Rolls"
Golumpki - Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
12 large cabbage leaves
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained
1 cup cooked rice
8-oz. can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Immerse cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 3 minutes or until limp. Drain.
Combine egg, milk, onions, salt, pepper, beef and rice. Place about 1/4 cup mixture into the center of each leaf. Fold in the sides and roll ends over the meat. Place in slow cooker.
Combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the cabbage rolls.
*If you like more sauce I would recommend doubling the sauce, which is what I did this time and it turned out great.
Cover. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
Serves 6.

St. John's-Kentucky to Showcase Frosh
St. John's will face Kentucky on Dec. 1 as part of the SEC/Big East Challenge. The Red Storm's visit to Lexington's Rupp Arena will be their first since the 1985 Final Four when they played Georgetown. The two teams haven't played since 2000 and not in Lexington since 1977. It could be the first major test for St. John's highly-touted recruiting class, which is rated by Scout.com as third-best in the country. Kentucky's class is ranked first.

Giants' Mara Makes Labor Views Known
In an essay posted Thursday on NFL.com, Giants owner John Mara argued that the NFL's collective bargaining system came under "severe attack" when the league's players union de-certified and walked away from the bargaining table instead of negotiating an end to the league's lockout. "The NFL's business model needs to be fixed," Mara wrote. "Of that, there is no doubt....A fair adjustment must be negotiated in a new CBA.'' The league's owners and players, Mara wrote, "must recognize our shared responsibility as stewards of the game to compromise and reach a fair agreement."

Yankees' Dickerson OK After Beaning
Chris Dickerson of the Yankees has a line on his nose and a welt on his cheek from where the batting helmet hit him, but otherwise bears no scars from taking a fastball from the Orioles' Mike Gonzalez off his head Wednesday night. A CT scan of his head came back negative for any fractures, though Dickerson said he has a concussion. Major League Baseball has created a special seven-day disabled list for concussion victims, but Dickerson said he doesn't expect to land there.
Dickerson was certain that Gonzalez hit him by accident, and Gonzalez sought out Dickerson to check on him and chat before Thursday's game.

Playing around with the BIOS have always been a fun for me, I love messing up around with the BIOS settings of any computer system although I am not an expert with BIOS options. Theres always some question goes around into my mind with such settings and therefore I end up either searching it by me of leave it unknown. Recently I have bought a brand new Acer Aspire 7750g at my place and guess what? I already had an adventurous visit into the BIOS option of this laptop and ended with few question. I found that there was actually no option available for disabling the integrated graphics and using the AMD 7670m. I know the location for disabling such things on other computer system but in this Aspire 7750G it seems like the option does not exist. However I tried my best and disabled the integrated but in turns I found that the display image completely got disappeared from the screen and I was forced to ultimately reset the entire BIOS.
For your information let me tell you that I have already unlocked the BIOS. Please anyone if possible just let me know whether it is really possible to disable the integrated BIOS. If yes, then how? Is there something that I am missing out or I am completely unaware of? Please do let me know and help me out.
