This is the best.
People don't only love CD Projekt RED because The Witcher 3 was great. The company released 16 DLCs for free, talked openly about the game's budget and profits, and included a "thank you" note in the box. It might be brilliant PR, but after speaking with the studio's co-founder, there's something else there, too.
If there's a single story that encompasses the best of The Witcher 3's narrative ambitions, it's the Bloody Baron. Messy, emotional, and full of morally compromised individuals, it's a tale that can end in some truly harrowing ways. To learn more about how it came together, I spoke with the people who made it.
I played 60 hours of The Witcher 3 earlier this year, and only stopped because I had other games to play. One question always nagged me, though: how did CD Projekt RED put together a sprawling open world game that avoided the genre's usual preference for meaningless side quests? I called them to find out.
Not everyone was happy with the love triangle at the center of 2015's hottest dating sim, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Fortunately, the game's developers have been listening.
Since The Witcher 3 came out in May, developer CD Projekt Red has released 16 pieces of free post-release downloadable content, ranging from missions to outfits to gear. Some of that stuff was superb. Some was less superb. Let's rank it all, worst to best.
If you were wondering whether The Witcher 3's New Game+ mode makes the game harder, I have some good news for you: It does!
I've spent almost 100 hours in the Witcher 3, wandering the streets of Novigrad, galloping through Velen's windswept woodland, sailing between the isles of Skellige. Yet in all that time, I never really stopped to enjoy the game's quieter moments.
Along with the many small improvements offered by The Witcher 3's most recent big patch, at least one problem slipped in: It was possible for Geralt to wind up stranded in the wilderness without a shred of armor to wear.
An animated parody of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, made by Matthew Shezmen, proves that being Geralt is not easy when there's so much drama going.
Over the weekend, The Witcher 3 got a new patch that brought with it a bunch of changes. None of the tweaks are earth-shaking on their own, but taken together, they make the game feel noticeably more polished, user-friendly, and complete.
CD Projekt RED has a reputation for continuing to tweak and improve their games in major ways, weeks and months after release, and The Witcher 3 is no exception. The upcoming patch 1.07 has a slew of much needed tweaks, including changes to the inventory system.
The only problem with the addictive card game CD Projekt Red included in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is all the witching one has to do to play it. Thanks to a mod for Tabletop Simulator, the witching is now optional.
Last week we asked our readers to fix The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's missing penis problem. Our readers responded with the stuff of endless nightmares.
UPDATE: It works now. If you bought The Witcher 3 digitally on Xbox One, there's a chance you can't play the game right now. There's a licensing issue—error "0x87de2726"—that's preventing the game from booting up, but Microsoft is aware of the problem and working on it.
One step forward, one step back. As CD Projekt RED rushes to patch the ambitious Witcher 3, it's also introducing new glitches. Right now, there's one preventing players from gaining experience points when finishing quests six levels higher than what the game recommends.
Well, except maybe Geralt, but you can't stage a massive battle between 20 bears and 20 cyclopes without breaking a few Witchers.
Around this time four years ago The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings impressed critics with its opulent and demanding PC graphics, rich environments and storytelling, along with innovative combat mechanics. Selling nearly two million copies in its first year, the game was a great success for CD Projekt Red so it came as…
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a great game filled with small choices. Which kind of sword do you use? Which king or emperor do you support? What do you say to that tempestuous sorceress?
When you open up a physical copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it comes with a surprise from the game's developer, CD Projekt RED.

Skip to comments.Obamacare: Where Have We Seen That Symbol Before?
Posted on 08/05/2009 2:33:47 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat
I didn't make this. But I do find the parallels...interesting.
The health care caduceus is thousands of years older than that Nazi tat. It is funny though *grin*
But the "O" at the bottom clinches it.
I wonder what you really are grinning about?
The caduceus didn't come designed with globe/circle attached to the bottom of it like the Nazi emblem.
Yes, but Hussein and his lame propaganda ministers decided to put HIS campaign logo underneath the caduceus.
Just like another fascist and HIS propaganda ministers put their symbol underneath their bird.
And come to think of it, weren't the Nazis also borrowing from an ancient symbol—the phoenix?
I know the snake symbol on the caduceus...but what are the wings?
... it's called the Caduceus. It's been around for some 6000 years. Nice try.
Weird. When I look at it I keep envisioning a skull wearing a tricorn cap.
They appear to be standard fare:
Yes, that is your story now that you have been called out on your comments. Strange...
Looks like a gorilla face inside the lower circle.
I would presume the snakes are from the Exodous story of G-d healing people who looked at the curled bronze snake staff of Moses.
I like the ghost images of all the euthanasia victims in the logo background.
What do the three stars represent?
Fasten your seat-belts we been down down this road before.
By the way Recovering: I agree, 0bama's Administration is as close to the NAZI as the world has seen since WW2!
I know it is the caduceus, chief.
I just find it curious...Hussein's design also parallels the nazis.
The nazi eagle was also a precursor of the Phoenix symbol, was it not?
B'sides, I'm only puttin' it out there for discussion. ;)
My guess is the Third Reich is what is represented by the three stars. ;-)
Funny, I was just yesterday messing around with Photoshop and posted this in another thread.
Ahahahah. This is a good one. Kudos.
It's the Nehustan in Hebrew at least.
I don't know the English word.
Not sure about you, newbie.
The fact that you ARE an artist is not helping your case. An artist would right away notice the similarities between the two designs... but rather, you tried to simply pass off the similarities due to the caduceus being thousands of years old.
Keep digging. These red herrings are starting to smell.
"So... Is It Safe?"
Line from the dental torturer in "The Running Man"
You must be a doctor, Dentist.
Well, I don't remember the caduseus having the Obama "O" logo on it before. In fact, i dont remember any other president HAVING a personal logo.
"I'm an artist."
Ok artist, what president's have had a personal symbol, like the "O" logo attached to everything they do? Sure is Hitleresque if you open your eyes. Next you can talk to us about all the adoration Obama art. Always done in an ersatz Soviet or style, complete with dramatic gazes towards the horizon.
I believe the wings represent the god Hermes who was the patron of medicine. He is the guy with the wings on his heels.
They failed and it closed.
Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and now, possibly our health care to the same assholes who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!
The symbol of medicine is the Rod of Asklepius, son of Apollo, who was the god of medicine and healing. The association of the snake-and-stick symbol with healing goes all the way back to Biblical times (Numbers 21:6).
Remember: two snakes = Caduceus/Rod of Hermes, god of commerce; one snake = Rod of Asklepius, god of medicine.
Can ANYBODY say why it is fringe or suspect for me to say it is more likely that the logo designer is trying to link this with a caduceus - a symbol of healthcare for 2000 years - rather than the Nazis given that this is supposed to be a logo for a healthcare program? That symbol is EVERYWHERE around hospitals. Hasn't anybody here watched Grey's Anatomy or ER?
Caducus AKA Rod of Hermes. The wings and serpents come from Hermes AKA Mercury. In America it is often used instead of the Rod of Asclepius which has only one serpent and no wings.
Asclepius was the Greek god of healing.
strikes me as narcissistic
break out the Greek columns
BECAUSE, it doesn't have to be an either or situation.
Tom, I'm not arguing with your points. You made some very good ones.
I just find it interesting—the two do remind me of each other. That is all.
I do think there are other similarities in how each party views the use of authority and power, too. And to see the art drawing a parallel, I just thought it was curious.
I certainly do believe the designer had a caduceus in mind when making the logo...but similarities in mindset can also create a similarity in design sometimes, too, don't you think? :)
Just a thought. I have not attacked you in the least...I appreciate your contributions to the thread.

The rooms are a bit dated but very comfortable and quiet. The hotel staff were so friendly, the food in the resturant was excellent and the huge gardens were just a joy to explore. We used the Village Green as our base as we visited all the covered bridges and wineries in the area. It was a long drive but well worth it.

I forgot to remove my pan from the burner after frying taco shells, causing the oil to burn onto the pan.
Approximate Time: 10 minutes
I use Ezoff Oven Cleaner the non-toxic kind. I spray the pan then put in a plastic bag and let it sit over night. Next day I just wipe it off with a paper towel.
I have stains like this on cookie sheets. One cookie sheet has a finish on it. How do I remove similar stains from cookie sheets without hurting the finish?
SOS pads work great for this. They clean up glass and metal baking pans with no soaking required. Just wet the pan and swipe with an SOS...comes out great! Make sure you buy the pads that are already soaped.

Authorities say two men have been charged with conspiring to threaten U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak because of his vote for the massive health care overhaul.
The U.S. attorney's office in Bay City says 73-year-old Russell Hesch of West Branch and his son, 50-year-old David Hesch of Loveland, Colo., have been arrested.
Court documents say Stupak's office in Menominee received a letter May 25 that threatened the congressman and his wife and son.
An attorney for Russell Hesch says his client is not guilty.
Stupak was spokesman for about a dozen House Democrats who withheld their support for the health bill because they wanted assurances it would not allow federal funding of abortions.
He ultimately voted for the bill in March after reaching a deal with the White House and Democratic leaders.

Lee Seung-yeon (born August 18, 1968) is a South Korean actress and talk show host.
Lee Seung-yeon graduated from Inha Technical College in Incheon with a degree in Airline Navigation, and became a flight attendant for Korean Air. In 1992, she joined and won third place in the Miss Korea beauty pageant.[1] She was South Korea's representative to the 1993 Miss World pageant, where she became one of the top ten finalists.
Shortly after the pageant, Lee became a reporter for entertainment news program Scoop TV Entertainment, then launched her acting career in 1993 with the campus drama Our Paradise. She appeared in 1990s television dramas such as Love Is in Your Embrace, Hotel, Icing, Wedding Dress, and First Love, the last of which became the most highly rated Korean drama of all time with a peak viewership rating of 65.8%. She also made her big screen debut in 1996's Piano Man, followed by the films Change and Saturday, 2:00 p.m.. Lee's popularity was at its peak during these years, and in 1998 she hosted her own talk show Lee Seung-yeon's Say Say Say. With her sophisticated and cosmopolitan image, the clothes and accessories she wore became fashion trends, such as her blue-colored contact lenses in Spider, her head kerchief in Cinderella, and her black suit in Man of Autumn.[2]
In May 1998, Lee was found to have illegally obtained a driver's license without going through the requisite tests and seminars. She was sentenced to one year's probation and 80 hours of community service.[3][4] Because of public disapproval regarding the incident, her drama Heart of Lies was cut short,[5] and she lost roles she had been previously cast in to Yoo Ho-jeong (Trap of Youth) and Lee Young-ae (Invitation).[6][7]
In April 2002, Lee was implicated in a hit and run because she owned the vehicle driven by Kim Mo-sshi, son of celebrity Jang Young-ja.[8][9] Since her costar Lee Geung-young was also being investigated at the time for having sex with a minor, both scandals caused their film Forgive Me Once Again Despite Hatred (also known as Love Me Once Again 2002 or Again) to flop at the box office.[10]
On February 12, 2004 Lee, and companies Lototo Inc. and Netian Entertainment held a press conference to announce their plan to sell erotic photographs and videos of Lee posing as a comfort woman over the Internet, starting in March. "Comfort women" is the Japanese term for women who were forced to serve as their armies' sex slaves during World War II. The first part of the project was shot on Palau Island in the Pacific, where real comfort women were taken, with the next phases planned in Nepal and Japan. They declared they did this to return the issue to the spotlight and that part of the profits would go to surviving comfort women. A few photographs were released, showing a semi-nude Lee bathing in the sea, sleeping on the floor, and wearing somewhat revealing white clothes, with dirt on her face.[11][12]
This caused a great outcry from the surviving comfort women and the Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan. A press conference to announce the project's cancellation was held on February 16.[13] Following the cancellation, Lee tearfully made a personal apology on her knees at the House of Sharing, a residence for some of the survivors.[14] The women rejected her apology until the materials were destroyed, something the producer was hesitant to do. The producer further proposed a preview screening to obtain public approval for the project—they had 1 hour and a half of video and about 1,500-2,000 photos.[15] Finally on February 19, he shaved his head (in a traditional gesture of apology) and publicly burned the materials in front of some of the surviving comfort women.[16]
Disregarding feminist criticisms of her casting, Kim Ki-duk directed Lee in the 2004 film 3-Iron. A love story between a battered woman and a younger man who lives in empty houses, Lee and costar Jae Hee's acting were praised, and Kim won Best Director at the 61st Venice International Film Festival.[17][18]
Despite the acclaim for 3-Iron, the comfort women controversy had a lasting negative effect on Lee's career, and it would take two more years before she made her acting comeback in Kim Soo-hyun's Love and Ambition in 2006.
Capitalizing on her image as a trendsetter, she launched her own clothing line About el in 2007, which became a hit among consumers.[19] This paved the way for Lee's first talk show in eight years, Style Magazine on cable channel OnStyle. Though she continues to act, Lee has become more known in recent years for hosting various style-related talk shows on cable.
In 2013, she became involved in another controversy when she was indicted for illegal use of the drug propofol. Cable channel Story On cancelled her talk show Lee Seung-yeon and 100 Women as a result.[20] Lee admitted taking propofol, but said it was legally prescribed by her doctor to treat a spinal fracture diagnosed in 2003, and that it was also administered to her as an anesthetic at skin care clinics.[21][22][23] The Seoul Central District Court found Lee guilty of taking propofol at least 320 times over six years (or 4.5 times a month), and she was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years.[24][25][26] Tongyang Group later sued Lee for breach of contract; she had signed a one-year ₩450 million advertising contract with the company's apparel division in 2012, which stipulated that she must not break the law or commit acts that harm the brand's image. The court ordered Lee to pay ₩100 million in 2015.[27]
Personal life[edit]
Lee married Kim Moon-chul, a Korean-American fashion entrepreneur, on December 28, 2007 at Sol Beach Resort in Yangyang County, Gangwon Province.[28][29] She gave birth to a daughter in June 2009.[30]

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has raised much controversy in the field of hematolymphoid pathology. Its nature is becoming better characterized with recent advances in molecular genetics. However, to the authors' knowledge, a detailed description of the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of ALCL is lacking and the application of immunocytochemical study, including immunostaining for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein, to cytology samples has not been studied to date.
The authors reviewed 10 FNA specimens of ALCL from 8 patients encountered at Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital and Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong over a 9-year period from early 1993 to the end of 2001. The cytologic and immunocytochemical findings (including ALK protein overexpression) of the specimens were correlated with histologic and immunohistochemical findings of surgical biopsy specimens.
Six of the eight patients had ALCL of the common variant, whereas the remaining two patients had ALCL of the small cell variant. FNA specimens of ALCL of the common variant yielded many loosely dispersed "hallmark" cells that contained eccentric kidney-shaped or embryo-like nuclei, several prominent rod-shaped or angulated basophilic nucleoli, and abundant amphophilic cytoplasm. "Doughnut" cells, tumor cells with multilobated nuclei, and multinucleated giant cells with a wreath-like arrangement of nuclei occasionally were found. A small number of "plasmacytoid" tumor cells, nondescript small round tumor cells, and reactive polymorphs also was present. In contrast, "plasmacytoid" cells and nondescript small to medium-sized tumor cells represented the predominant cell population in ALCL of the small cell variant. The "plasmacytoid" appearance was exaggerated further in air-dried smears. In air-dried smears, small intracytoplasmic vacuoles and scanty azurophilic granules also were noted. On immunocytochemical study performed using the cell block materials, the majority of tumor cells demonstrated membranous and paranuclear "dot-like" positivity for CD30. The staining for epithelial membrane antigen, leukocyte common antigen, and T-cell markers was variable. Positive staining for ALK protein was demonstrated beautifully in two of the cases.
Despite the wide morphologic spectrum of ALCL, a definitive diagnosis on the basis of FNA cytology is possible on careful interpretation of the cytologic features and a high index of suspicion. The cytologic diagnosis can be confirmed further with proper application of immunostaining to cell block sections. Immunocytochemical study for ALK protein, which provides useful prognostic information, also can be demonstrated satisfactorily using cytology samples.

Tom Murphy is a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of Louisiana Tech University, he is a member of the Football Writers Association of America, and voter for the Heisman Trophy and AP Top 25 football poll.
Players' objective still same
Arkansas interim coach Taver Johnson said consistency is a key.
FAYETTEVILLE The initial shock of Arkansas football Coach Bobby Petrino's firing was still echoing around the walls of the Broyles Athletic Center when Tyler Wilson and Tenarius Wright stood before their Razorbacks teammates to deliver a message.
Their message: We're going to be OK. Don't let this deter us from reaching our potential in 2012.
"We sat in there and we talked and let it be known that our mission had not changed and we still want to accomplish our goal: To wina championship," said Wright, a linebacker. "We're all in."
"I think we're confident we can beat anybody," said Wilson, Arkansas' starting quarterback. "That's always been our mind-set."
"We play for each other, and at the end of the day, the team is still here," running back Knile Davis said. "I feel like once they make the decision about the coaching situation, we'll be fine."
Odds makers in Las Vegas seem to think the same.
Arkansas had been installed as a 15-1 shot by vegasinsider.com to win the BCS national championship, the eighth-best odds in the country, before Petrino's firing, and they have not moved the needle on the Hogs' odds since.
The betting site covers.com wrote, via Twitter, that Caesar's Palace justified its lack of movement on Arkansas by saying: "Unless T. Wilson and K. Davis were on back of bike w/ [Petrino], we're holding pat."
Sportsbook.com also said it was not making any changes to its line, according to covers.com.
"Your attitude and effort gets you where you want to go, and it shouldn't be sidetracked or thrown off by what's hit us recently," defensive tackle Alfred Davis said.
LSU has 4-to-1 odds to win the next BCS title by vegasinsider.com, followed by Alabama and Southern California (5-1), Oklahoma and Oregon (8-1), Georgia and Florida State (12-1) and Arkansas.
The Razorbacks, coming off an 11-2 record, a Cotton Bowl victory and a 21-5 mark in the past two seasons, believe they have the pieces in place to contend.
"The structure has not changed at all," offensive coordinator Paul Petrino said.
"There was nothing wrong with the football program. There were some personal issues that happened."
Defensive coordinator Paul Haynes has been around the team since Cotton Bowl preparations in December, and he said he's liked the response he's seen since Bobby Petrino's transgressions became public.
"The players have responded awesome," Haynes said. "They love this coaching staff. They love this program. They love this university.
"We just talked to them about, hey, our goals have not changed."
Assistant head coach Taver Johnson, who is serving as the interim head coach until the end of the spring, said maintaining a consistent approach is key.
"Any time you have a bit of normalcy when you have chaos is great," he said. "Right now, we haven't batted an eye.We're here. We're here now, today, this second. Our players know that, we know that, and that's what we're focused on."
Wilson elected to come back for his senior year rather than declare for the NFL Draft. But he said Bobby Petrino's messy departure has been frustrating.
"... Part of the reason I decided to come back was because I felt like our foundation and everything here was very firm. Top program in the country," Wilson said. "Obviously this is a setback and frustrating, but I think we're able to move on and press on without him."
"Our goals haven't changed," Davis said. "We're still trying to get that national championship."

I was pleasantly surprised about how nice downtown Cleveland is: clean, people out and about, civic pride. The hotel is in an old arcade (see pictures), which was cool. Room clean but boring and no view. No easily available coffee / quick breakfast at the hotel. There is a coffee kiosk, of sorts, not open much. Most business stalls in the arcade are empty, should be nice if /when more going on. A wedding happened one night in the arcade. Interesting but loud during the dance reception. The hotel staff was very friendly.
Close to the convention center, sports venues and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I'd stay again.

STORRS, Conn. -- Connecticut coach Randy Edsall's new contract includes a buyout clause that would have him pay back up to $1.5 million should he take a job with another school or the NFL.
The school released details Tuesday of the five-year deal that Edsall signed Feb. 14, following a season in which the Huskies won a share of the Big East title.
Under the contract, Edsall will receive an average of $1.5 million annually, including more than $1 million each year for speaking and media appearances.
UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun, who has two national titles, is to make $1.6 million in 2009-10, the final year of his contract. Women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma, who has brought five national championships to Storrs, is to earn $1.25 million next season, the final year of his deal.
Edsall will also earn one month's base salary if the Huskies play in a bowl game, or $100,000 if it's a BCS game. There are also incentives for being named Big East or national coach of the year.
The deal also includes perks such as a $15,000-a-year car allowance, a family membership at a country club, and tickets to UConn men's and women's basketball games.
The buyout clause has a sliding scale under which Edsall would have to pay the school $1.5 million if he takes another college or pro job before Dec. 31, 2008. He would pay just $250,000 if he goes elsewhere between Jan. 1, 2012, and Aug. 1, 2012.
Edsall had been scheduled to make $995,000 next season and just over $1 million in 2009 under his previous deal, which he signed in 2004.
No state tax dollars will be used to pay Edsall, the school said. The contract will be paid for from gate receipts, private fundraising, corporate partnerships, broadcasts rights fees, conference revenue and NCAA revenue.
Edsall is 50-55 in his nine years at Connecticut. The Huskies were 9-4 in 2007 and lost to Wake Forest 24-10 in the Meineke Bowl.
Edsall spoke in November to Georgia Tech about its head coaching job, but announced he would remain at UConn.

When Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, was invited back in October to be the guest speaker at a February 25 prayer luncheon at Andrews Air Force Base, he had no idea he would be expected to suspend his opinions on such issues as homosexuals serving in America's military. After all, as a noted pro-family spokesman he can certainly be expected to promote values that are conducive to strong families and a stable society. His reputation in that capacity is, no doubt, what garnered him an invitation to speak at the prayer luncheon (and thousands of similar events over the course of his career) in the first place.
A recent report by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life seems to validate concerns among Christian leaders that younger generations of Americans are losing the spiritual moorings that have helped keep their nation strong from its founding.
Nebraska's Fetal Pain BillWritten by Bruce Walker
The Nebraska Legislature is considering legislation that would ban abortions performed at least 20 weeks into the pregnancy of a mother. The proposal, Legislative Bill 1103, sponsored by Mike Flood, Speaker of Nebraska's nonpartisan unicameral legislature, would prohibit such late-term abortions on the grounds of fetal pain.
Tuesday, February 23, marked the 18th Annual Faith & Values Awards Gala in Beverly Hills. At the award show, major television and movie stars, as well as big-time studio executives from all over the country, cat-walked down the red carpet and into the Grand Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills to celebrate Christian and family-friendly movies, despite the fact that the show was untelevised and wholly unnoticed by the mainstream media.
God may not have a place in the modern American classroom, but the Devil is a different story. That is, at least in one North Carolina high school.

Opening Friday
ONE MISSED CALL (PG-13) The English remake of a Japanese thriller about a group of young people who start receiving voice mails from the future detailing their deaths.
Duly Noted
WISE BLOOD (1979) (R) John Huston's adaptation of the Flannery O'Connor classic novel stars Brad Dourif, Ned Beatty and Harry Dean Stanton. Tues., Jan. 15. 14th St. Playhouse, 173 14th St. 404-733-4738. www.14thstplayhouse.org.
THE THING (1982) (R) Presented by Splatter Cinema comes John Carpenter's The Thing about scientists in the Antarctic confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the form of the people it kills. Tues., Jan. 8. Plaza Theatre, 1049 Ponce de Leon Ave. 404-873-1939. www.plazaatlanta.com
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) (R) The cult classic of cult classics, the musical horror spoof follows an all-American couple (Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick) to the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a drag queen/mad scientist from another galaxy. Midnight, Fri. at Plaza Theatre, and Sat. at Peachtree Cinema & Games, Norcross.
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE 3 stars (PG-13) A handful of young Americans and one Liverpudlian sing Beatles songs amid the tumult of the 1960s in this trippy musical from director Julie Taymor (Titus, Frida). The trope of naming characters after Beatles songs, such as central lovers Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), can be ridiculously heavy-handed, but the film's gorgeous visuals, appealing musical numbers and unstated Iraq war subtext keep it from being a baby boomer wallow in nostalgia. -- Holman
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR 2: REQUIEM (R) See review.
ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 3 stars (PG) This fluffy film chronicles the Chipmunks' rise to hyperpitched harmonizing fame and their narrow escape from the pitfalls of child stardom. On the human side, Jason Lee as Dave Seville looks uneasy living life in a partially CGI world, whereas David Cross, playing an exploitative record exec, basks in his screen time. Here, modernization and re-imagining turn out to be not such distasteful concepts, and even allow for a dash of satire most appreciated by fans of the earlier TV series. -- Allison C. Keene
AMERICAN GANGSTER 3 stars (R) This sprawling crime drama set in Vietnam War-era Harlem pits Denzel Washington's fastidious rising mob boss against Russell Crowe's doggedly honest narcotics cop. As usual, director Ridley Scott crafts images that mark him as an artist of color and light, but the premise's shades of gray elude him, particularly the implication that the mobster's success represents a triumph of African-American enterprise. The cast ultimately lives up to the film's sweeping social statements that emulate the gritty idealism of Serpico more than the bloody melodrama of Scarface. -- Holman
ATONEMENT 4 stars (R) An intelligent but confused adolescent girl (Saoirse Ronan) tells a lie that separates two young lovers (Keira Knightley and James McAvoy). Joe Wright crafts an insightful adaptation of Ian McEwan's acclaimed novel that begins with an intimate look at the passions and frustrations at an English country estate, and expands to include the destruction of World War II. Playing the same character at different ages, Ronan, Romola Garai and Vanessa Redgrave offer a devastating portrayal of guilt and the inability of words to undue their power to harm. -- Holman
AUGUST RUSH (PG) A fairy-tale-esque drama about an orphaned musical prodigy who uses his talents to find his absentee parents. Kristen Sheridan (Disco Pigs) directs.
AWAKE (R) Hayden Christensen plays a man who awakens during open-heart surgery to find the anesthesia has left him aware, but paralyzed. Joby Harold directs.
BEE MOVIE 2 stars (PG) After discovering life outside the hive and meeting a human florist (Renee Zellweger), a young bee (Jerry Seinfeld) sues the human race for the honey industry's exploitative practices. The closer Bee Movie hovers to Seinfeld's appealing brand of observational humor, the bigger laughs it finds, but the script flits in so many different directions, we can't help but remember that story wasn't always the strong suit of Seinfeld's eponymous "show about nothing." -- Holman
BELLA 2 stars (PG-13) A haunted chef (Eduardo Verástegui) and a pregnant waitress (Tammy Blanchard) leave their jobs at a trendy restaurant to spend a romantic, soul-baring day in Manhattan. This heartfelt but overly sentimental film from Alejandro Gomez Monteverde celebrates food, family and New York, but the leading actors' performances are a little blank and the ending too convenient by half. Manny Perez steals the film as satisfyingly hateful restaurateur and petty tyrant.-- Holman
BEOWULF 4 stars (PG-13) The Anglo-Saxon epic poem of strapping Beowulf (voiced by Ray Winstone) and his monstrous adversaries gets brought into the 21st century with director Robert Zemeckis' "performance-capture" animation techniques (a form that's still a work in progress, but has improved significantly since The Polar Express). For all the CGI monsters, including misshapen ogre Grendel, the real attraction is the revisionist screenplay, which reimagines the heroic tale into a tragedy about the corruption of power. Definitely see it in digital 3-D, which makes up for the rubbery quality of some of the human characters. -- Holman
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR 4 stars (R) In the early 1980s, a playboy congressman (Tom Hanks) resolves to fund the Afghan rebels against the Soviet invaders, and finds allies including a former Texas beauty queen (Julia Roberts) and a grumpy CIA operations guy (Philip Seymour Hoffman). If you miss "The West Wing," writer Aaron Sorkin's script will provide you with a bracing cocktail of screwball comedy and policy-wonk detail. The film's American point of view keeps it at arm's length from some of the third act drama, but its witty, wise perspective on foreign policy shows how good intentions can reap short-term triumphs and subsequent disasters. -- Holman
DAN IN REAL LIFE (PG-13) Steve Carell stars as Dan Burns, an advice columnist whose relationship expertise fails to serve him in his own life. Peter Hedges directs (Pieces of April).
THE DARJEELING LIMITED 3 stars (R) Three brothers (Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman) embark on a so-called "spiritual journey" across India by train, but struggle against their petty habits and sibling rivalry. Rushmore director Wes Anderson expands his artful but precious visual style through the bustling, shifting Indian landscape, but still keeps the audience at a distance from the characters. -- Holman
THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY (PG-13) Julian Schnabel directs in the remarkable true story of French Elle editor-in-chief Jean-Dominique Bauby whose sudden stroke at age 43 leaves his entire body paralyzed except for his left eye.
ENCHANTED 2 stars (PG) The certifiably adorable Amy Adams is a cartoon princess Giselle who is plunged into the ugly reality of New York City and ends up with a prince. There are some great comic moments, like the swarm of roaches and pigeons that help Giselle clean up an untidy apartment a la Disney's Snow White but for the most part the film isn't smart enough to deserve the knowing, meta-Disney approach it cops. -- Feaster
FRED CLAUS 2 stars (PG) Santa's bitter older brother Fred (Vince Vaughn) reluctantly moves back to the North Pole after St. Nick (Paul Giamatti) bails him out of jail. Vaughn and Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin try to mix the caustic comedy of Bad Santa with the yuletide whimsy of The Santa Clause and inevitably fall short of either goal. Admittedly the last half hour finds some nice moments, and Giamatti's winning performance takes Santa from patient to anxious to outraged. Overall, though, it's as if Vaughn wanted to do his own version of Bill Murray's Scrooged, forgetting that nobody much liked Scrooged, either. -- Holman
THE GAME PLAN (PG) Andy Fickman (She's the Man) directs this story about superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) who must end his bachelor ways following the discovery of a daughter he never knew he had. Kyra Sedgwick stars as Joe's tough-talking agent.
THE GOLDEN COMPASS 2 stars (PG-13) On a parallel Earth where human souls manifest as animal companions, plucky young Lyra (terrific newcomer Dakota Blue Richards) uses a magic artifact to guide her to the frozen north and thwart conspiratorial child-snatchers, led by Nicole Kidman. About a Boy director Chris Weitz presents a well-cast, well-intentioned botch of the first book of Philip Pullman's superb fantasy series. Crafty, heroic Lyra and her appealing armored bear bodyguard (voiced by Ian McKellan) can't rescue the film from rushed plotting, fakey special effects and a confusing cosmology. -- Holman
THE GREAT DEBATERS (PG-13) Denzel Washington stars and directs in the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College in Texas. In 1935 Tolson created the school's first debate team, leading them to challenge Harvard in the national championship.
THE HEARTBREAK KID (R) The Farrelly brothers' latest film finds single and indecisive Eddie (Ben Stiller) pressured into proposing marriage to the sexy Lila after dating for one week. On their honeymoon he meets the true woman of his dreams and strives to win her over while dealing with his increasingly awful new wife.
HITMAN (NR) Gun-for-hire Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) is hired by a group to kill targets for cash. Xavier Gens directs.
I AM LEGEND 4 stars (PG-13) Will Smith plays the sole human inhabitant of New York City after a genetically engineered virus wipes out most of mankind and turns the rest into blood-crazed mutants. The film offers nearly unbearable suspense scenes and stunning images of postapocalyptic Manhattan, overrun with wild animals with grass growing up through the streets. Despite some heavy-handed, ineffectual philosophizing in the last act, Smith delivers one of his best performances and I Am Legend turns out to be the best "summer movie" of 2007. -- Holman
IMAX THEATER The Alps Follow John Harlin III in MacGillivray Freeman's visually breathtaking documentary as he attempts to climb the same summit that proved fatal to his father 40 years ago.
I'M NOT THERE 3 stars (R) Ambitious, smart but decidedly muddled, cerebral superhipster Todd Haynes' biopicture of enigmatic, chameleonlike singer Bob Dylan features six different actors playing Dylan, including a mind-blowing turn by Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, Christian Bale and a young black kid (Marcus Carl Franklin). The film melds an equally diverse array of styles and film allusions from Fellini to D.A. Pennebaker. The film is often gorgeous and clever, though it may be deep Dylan fans who enjoy Haynes' crazy-quilt film the most. -- Feaster
INTO THE WILD 4 stars (R) Emile Hirsch stars as affluent Emory University grad Chris McCandless, who died at age 24 after dropping off the grid to live on his own in the Alaskan wilderness. A surprising amount of transcendence and hopefulness infuses the normally dour Sean Penn's fourth directorial effort about McCandless' physical and interior journey based on Jon Krakauer's nonfiction account. Marked by nods to '60s and '70s cinema, Penn's film also has relevance to our own times as growing eco- and global-awareness have made more and more people take a McCandless look at the bad path "civilization" is on. -- Feaster
I WANT SOMEONE TO EAT CHEESE WITH 3 stars (NR) Still living at home with his mom, struggling actor James (Jeff Garlin) is an overgrown kid who riffs on pop culture and can't get laid. What might be annoying in an 18-year-old is both funny and poignant in a 39-year-old. Garlin, who also directs, very much pulls from the same comedy-of-the-abject highlighted in his day job, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and like that humor model, can be both annoyingly self-indulgent and perceptive, too. Sarah Silverman co-stars as a funny-creepy combination of kid's book character Junie B. Jones and an oversexed nut job. -- Feaster
JUNO 4 stars (PG-13) An insanely funny script by Diablo Cody and bone-dry comic timing provided by Ellen Page make Juno feel like the breakout indie of the year. Page is a knocked-up 16-year-old who decides to hand over her child to a couple (Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner) she thinks are desperate for a baby. Things turn out to be more complicated, and much sweeter than this attitudinal comedy initially suggests. -- Feaster
THE KITE RUNNER 3 stars (PG-13) Director Marc Forster (Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland) returns to familiar themes of childhood and loss in his adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's beloved book. The story moves from 1978 Afghanistan to America and then back again to the Taliban-ruled country as it tells the story of two boyhood friends and the trauma that defines them. Solid acting and moments of acute emotional truth can't, however, distract from Forster's sublimation of his unique style and a feeling that he took the safe path in this adaptation. --Feaster
LARS AND THE REAL GIRL 5 stars (PG-13) Against all odds this Craig Gillespie film about a man Lars (Ryan Gosling) who falls in love with a sex doll is a Frank Capraesque celebration of community and compassion. Balancing a delicate line between comedy and pathos, Gillespie's deft direction of Nancy Oliver's winning script suggests the doll as a kind of transitional object that helps the grief-stricken Lars learn to relate to the world around him. --Feaster
MICHAEL CLAYTON 4 stars (R) George Clooney puts a haunted pall over his trademark charisma as the title role of this conspiracy thriller, a big law firm's "fixer" who discovers the conscience he didn't know he had. First-time director Tony Gilroy effectively evokes the paranoid films of the 1970s by creating a plausible sense of big-city dread, embodied in Tilda Swinton's superb portrayal of a female executive wracked with guilt at her monstrous decisions. The instigating plot about an agribusiness cover-up isn't very memorable, but Michael Clayton makes the most of is moral ambiguity without feeling merely vague. -- Holman
MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM (G) In this G-rated family film that appears to be angling to be the Willy Wonka for the new generation, Dustin Hoffman plays the owner of a magical toy store who plans to bequeath the shop to his nervous manager (Natalie Portman). Hey, "Magorium" rhymes with "Emporium!" What a coincidence.
NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS (PG) In the sequel to National Treasure, treasure-hunter Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) follows clues in a mystery involving John Wilkes Booth and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Jon Turteltaub directs.
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 4 stars (R) The Coen brothers make a rousing return to form in this Texas crime drama that strips away their trademark irony for brilliant, suspenseful set pieces. Josh Brolin's Vietnam vet, Tommy Lee Jones' aging sheriff and Javier Bardem's ruthless hitman engage in a three-way chase on either side of the Rio Grande. Don't let the anticlimactic ending sour you on the superb filmmaking. -- Holman
THE PERFECT HOLIDAY 1 star (PG) An aspiring songwriter (Morris Chestnut) uses his job as a department store Santa Claus to court a divorcee (Gabrielle Union). Despite the charms of Chestnut and Union, The Perfect Holiday, written and directed by Lance Rivera, bestows the gift of contrived plotting, flavorless jokes and holiday whimsy forced down your throat. To call it a lump of coal in your stocking insults the heat-generating usefulness of real lumps of coal. -- Holman
P.S. I LOVE YOU (PG-13) When Holly Kennedy's (Hilary Swank) husband dies from an illness, she is left grief-stricken. She discovers her late husband has planned out 10 monthly messages to guide her through recovery, which help her slowly transition to a new life. Directed by Richard LaGravenese.
THE RED BALLOON/WHITE MANE (NR) The classic French short film The Red Balloon is the charming story of a boy befriended by an expressive red balloon, which proceeds to follow him around throughout his day. The film is co-featured with White Mane, the story of a boy's love for a wild horse that only he can tame.
RUSH HOUR 3 1 star (PG-13) After an attempted assassination of the Chinese ambassador, the LAPD'S Chris Tucker and Chinese cop Jackie Chan bicker all the way to Paris. Fast-talking Tucker and fast-moving Chan make such a natural comic team that it's a shame three-time director Brett Ratner never built them a vehicle with witty jokes or racial insight. All three films are pretty crummy, interrupting the loud comedy and louder action with some still decent stunt work from Chan (now 53 years old), but even the funny outtakes during the closing credits seem calculated. -- Holman
SAW IV (R) In the follow-up to Saw III, Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead. Detectives must sift through Jigsaw's latest grisly remains to piece together the puzzle. Darren Lynn Bousman directs.
STARTING OUT IN THE EVENING (PG-13) Frank Langella stars as Leonard Shiller, a once-famous New York writer who is both shaken and emboldened when a beautiful grad student invades his isolation for her thesis about his novels. Andrew Wagner directs.
SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET 5 stars (R) A wrongfully accused barber (Johnny Depp) returns to Victorian London to wreak bloody vengeance on an evil judge (Alan Rickman). And it's a musical! In adapting Stephen Sondheim's Broadway classic, director Tim Burton casts movie stars whose lack of musical experience doesn't interfere with the show's skin-crawling intimacy and grand passions. Sweeney Todd proves lushly operatic, grotesquely violent and at times darkly funny, with one number suggesting a cannibalistic version of "Food, Glorious Food" from Oliver! -- Holman
THIS CHRISTMAS 3 stars (PG-13) Preston A. Whitmore writes and directs this dramedy about the holiday reunion of an extended African-American family, which includes an indebted musician (Idris Elba) and an abused wife (Regina King). The plotting's a bit familiar and the first act relies almost entirely on exposition, but the likable cast -- particularly Elba, King and Delroy Lindo -- help make This Christmas low-key but pleasing holiday fare. -- Holman
TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED? (PG-13) Tyler Perry (Diary of a Mad Black Woman) brings his theatrical production to the big screen where he stars alongside Janet Jackson and Jill Scott. The film explores the difficulties of modern relationships through the stories of eight married college friends.
WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY (R) John C. Reilly stars in Jake Kasdan's film about the tumultuous life of fictional singer Dewey Cox.

Yes, Most new vehicles are a single unit. Older vehicles could have the bearings repacked. The labor time takes about 1-1.5 hours to replace the hub (bearing). You can search for the part to replace it on google. The prices will very depending on quality of product. That price looks to be correct for OEM parts

Bordering on dry, if nothing else, the chapters do get long.
Final recommendations:
If for home use, wait until the 5th edition comes out and then buy the 4th edition. I'd tell you to buy the 3rd edition now, but the 4th edition has some great additions over the 3rd.
If for school use, the 4th edition has some wonderful additions that you shouldn't skip over. If you need to save a few bucks by getting the 3rd edition and borrowing the 4th for those chapters, you'll get by. But, if not, go new or the best quality used you can get because you'll want to keep this book around after your class is over.
Now that I'm in my second year of classes, I still refer to my first book and it already has the tell tale signs of a very well used book - sticky pages, smudges and the sort.
I would recommend this to anybody, not just knowledgeable cooks. In fact, my mother-in-law wants one for Christmas and I'm going to buy it for her.

Feature: Contest Winners
The results of our eighth Photo Contest
By John Bear
Hello there, photo nerds.
It's been a crazy week, but we finally waded through all the entries to the Alibi's eighth annual Photo Contest and selected the winners.
The same three-dude panel who brought you the results of the first annual Villanelle Contest returned to judge the pics. Alibi Copy Editor Sam Adams has a photography degree, so he was a no-brainer. Calendars Editor Adam Fox and I, John Bear the Arts and Literature editor, have no such qualifications, only massive amounts of opinion to spread around.
Thanks to everyone who entered. We have some fabulous prizes. Winners receive a $20 gift certificate to All Seasons Gardening, a $10 gift certificate to Bailey's on the Beach and a $10 gift certificate to Pepper's Ole' Fashion BBQ. Plus, you know, bragging rights. Adam will be happy to hand them over at the front desk of the Alibi offices at 413 Central NW. He's a real nice guy; just don't look him directly in the eye, and keep your hands and feet away from his mouth.
Until next time, you keep pushing those buttons.

10 pages in, I was already tearing up and cringing because of the inhumanity. This book is so poetically written.— Aug 24, 2011 09:38PM
