The veteran, Byron Barton, and his wife and adult son were evicted from the home Friday on Urquhart's orders. Barton was then taken by ambulance to the Seattle VA Hospital because of his health condition. A crew also removed the Bartons' furniture and other belongings from the home.
Urquhart said after Friday's eviction, "There are no winners in this situation." He says the new lawful owner of the home, Triangle Properties Development, has been the "victim of bureaucratic inaction" and he "won't let politics ride roughshod over the rule of law."
Urquhart also said that conditions inside the home were "dangerously unsanitary."
Now Barton's supporters are taking to the street to protest the sheriff's actions. They marched outside Urquhart's office Monday with signs and loudspeakers denouncing the forcible eviction.
Protesters say that Barton and his family were evicted illegally because the bank refused to renegotiate the terms of the mortgage. They also say that Triangle Properties Development refused to rent the home to Barton or any of his supporters.
The home, previously owned by Byron Barton's mother, had been in the family for more than 60 years. Byron Barton grew up there and was married there.
Court records show the Bartons mortgaged their home in 2007, then subsequently refinanced the loan and took out a home equity line of credit, with loans totaling over $650,000.
The Bartons stopped making payments, apparently in 2011, and they defaulted on those loans. The Bartons filed two lawsuits in federal court to stop foreclosure actions, but both were dismissed.
Triangle Properties Development purchased the home at an auction earlier this year.
After the trustee's sale of the property, the Bartons filed another lawsuit in state court, asking to void the foreclosure and for damages of $4.8 million and other miscellaneous amounts. That case is pending with a 2015 trial date expected.

Anatomy of the Aorta
The aorta stems from the heart, arches upward, and then extends down behind the heart and through the chest (thorax) and the abdomen areas. The aorta then branches out and becomes the iliac arteries, which provide blood to the pelvis and legs.

Status: In Progress I'm not sure if I should actually make a set for Shell Smash, so if I could get some opinions on that, it'd be nice. Other than that, I'm going to finish this up hopefully by the end of the night. QC Approved: 0/2 GP Approved: 0/2 [Overview]
With Crustle's offensive Rock-Bug typing, and decent base 95 attack, Crustle has the ability to put a nice dent in nearly every top tier Pokemon in the VGC 2011 metagame. Now, it's not all good for the little sand bug. Crustle is extremely slow, and rather frail on the special side, which can make sweeping very difficult outside of Trick Room. Crustle may have its flaws, but all in all, Crustle is a Pokemon you are going to want to watch out for this year.
 [Set] Name: Trick Room Sweeper Move 1: Rock Slide / Rock Blast Move 2: X-Scissor Move 3: Protect Move 4: Swords Dance Item: Rock Gem / Lum Berry Nature: Brave Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD [Set Comments]
This is Crustle's best set, and has the potential to sweep entire teams when given the chance. After a Swords Dance, Crustle has 322 Attack, allowing it to OHKO a great portion of the metagame with either Rock Slide or X-Scissor. Protect is a basic necessity for VGC Pokemon, as it allows you to scout out potentially dangerous moves that could leave you unable to sweep. Sturdy adds onto the fun, and allows Crustle to survive any one move, and continue on with its sweep. The EV's and nature allow Crustle to achieve maximum offense and bulk.
 [Additional Comments]
Rock Blast is an option over Rock Slide if you would like to break substitutes and sashes. You will miss out on the ability to hit both opponents, so the choice between the two moves depends on your team. You can drop Swords Dance for Earthquake if you'd like, but it isn't recommended because without Swords Dance, Crustle will be missing out on most KO's that it could get with it. You can drop Rock Gem for a Lum berry if you feel that you need to protect yourself from status, but it isn't necessary. Without Rock Gem, Rock Slide will be significantly weaker, and could possibly miss out on a few KO's. Although, if you are desperately in need for something to take out Amoonguss, Lum Berry is an option.
 [Set] Name: Shell Smash Move 1: Rock Slide Move 2: X-Scissor Move 3: Protect Move 4: Shell Smash Item: Rock Gem / White Herb Nature: Jolly / Adamant Ability: Sturdy EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe [Set Comments]
Shell Smash is easily one of the new moves brought in Gen 5, and Crustle was one of the lucky Pokemon to recieve it. For those of you who don't know, Shell Smash doubles Attack, Special Attack, and Speed while dropping both Defense and Special Defense one stage. Shell Smash is bringing Crustle's Attack to a 'very nice' 294, or 322 when Adamant. After a Shell Smash, Crustle has the ability to OHKO or 2HKO nearly all non-Fighting-type Pokemon in the VGC metagame.Rock Slide is Crustle's STAB range attack, and will be your main attack for most of the time, thanks to its ability to hit a large portion of the metagame super-effectively. X-Scissor works in almost perfect unison with Rock Slide, hitting many Pokemon who can shrug off Rock Slide a lot harder. Protect is standard for most VGC movesets, and allows for you to wait for your teammate to get Tailwind up, or for your teammate to prevent Trick Room from being placed. Sturdy is going to allow Crustle to survive any blow, and get Shell Smash up for a potential sweep.
 [Additional Comments]
Rock Blast is an option over Rock Slide if you would like to break substitutes and sashes. editing... You can replace Rock Gem for White Herb, in order to remove the defense drops from Shell Smash, although you will miss out on a few KO's without Rock Gem. Earthquake can replace X-Scissor to obtain decent coverage against Fighting-types, although you will miss out on doing any significant damage towards Dark, Psychic, and Grass-type Pokemon.
 [Team Options]
As far as teammates go, Crustle is very versatile. Crustle has the ability to work effectively with support, such as Tailwind and Trick Room, or without support. with that being said, choosing a partner for Crustle really depends on how you plan to use it and the playstyle of your team. If you intend to run the SD set, Trick Room is your best option, so that way you can maintain high attacking power and improved speed. If you plan on running the Shell Smash set, Tailwind is your best option. Not only will it allow you operate without a Shell Smash, it will bring your speed to even higher levels if Shell Smash is down. Anyone who can set up these field effects love working with Crustle. Reuniclus will be the best option for Crustle under TR. Reuniclus can take a massive blow, and will almost always get TR down. Tornadus is the best choice for Tailwind for Crustle. Tornadus will keep that offensive style that Crustle likes, and will help to make Crustle fast enough to do major damage. If you'd prefer to run Crustle without a field effect, There are still options for you. a Scarf Jellicent with Water Spout works wonders alongside Crustle, with it's ability to deal lethal damage to a great majority of the metagame. Most pokemon who resist Water or Rock will work wonders for Crustle. Pokemon with Wide Guard will also do some great things for Crustle. Pokemon such as Mienshao, Conkeldurr, Virizion, Samurott, and as stated before, Jellicent, all make great partners with Crustle.

For the Lenovo e431, how do you keep the function key locked. Right now, the default is when you press F1-F12, he multimedia controls are active. To get to the standard F1-F12, you have to hold down Fn+the function key. This used to available in bios, but for this laptop model, it no longer is available. You can press Fn+esc, and it locks it for that session, but when the computer reboots, this is reset back to the default. Is there a way so that the default is not the multimedia function keys, but just the standard, legacy function keys? Thanks.
'Fn + Esc' Should lock it, but you'll need bios version 1.25+ to keep this config after reboot, since it had an issue fixed on 1.25:
You can download it (and anything related to ThinkPad Edge E431) here: ThinkPad Edge E431 Download Page en-us
Btw you can also switch Fn and Left Ctrl on BIOS :)
While I don't have this specific model (I have the W540), I have an option to make it permanent in the BIOS
My IT guy found it: you have to press Fn+Esc simultaneously, this will turn Function lock on or off and thus enable the function keys with or without the Fn-key.

"This book should be required reading in every home across the country. It tells of the lost ones, the forgotten men who have given up on the American dream, and once we enter their crumbling, derelict world, our own world will never look the same to us again. Harvey Wang's photographs are superbly honest and raw. The testimonies gathered by David Isay and Stacy Abramson are little poems of desolation, vast hymns to the paradoxes of the human heart." --Paul Auster
"This book takes you to places you think you don't want to enter, to people you think you don't want to meet, to lives you think you don't want to live. And makes you rethink all your assumptions. It reveals the tremendous strength and humanity of those who are usually ignored. And as you pay attention, your humanity expands."

Rutland Police investigating car window-breaking rampageStaff Report | January 23,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Vyto Starinskas Photo - One of the dozens of cars that were damaged in an overnight spree of breaking windows.
More than 50 cars and at least two businesses were damaged during the early morning hours today by an unknown vandal who used a pellet gun to shoot out windows, according to city police.
There were no witnesses to the incidents, but dozens of complaints streamed into the department today from car owners who found their windows shattered.
"It was all over the city," City Police Sgt. James Tarbell said of the incidents.
Tarbell estimated the damage would cost "tens of thousands of dollars" to repair.
Police have asked that anyone with a shot-out window or anyone who may have seen anything suspicious last night, please call 773-1820.MORE IN This Just In

Inspired by food, clothing and household appliances, Oldenburg's sculptures introduce surprising modifications in terms of scale, materials and texture. His aim is 'to get people accustomed to recognising the power of objects'. This sculpture represents the counter of a bar with a sandwich, French bread, potato and slices of ham. Oldenburg's sensuous use of colour and texture echoes the surfaces of abstract paintings of the period.

What are churches for? The answer may seem obvious: to preach and try to live the word of God and to celebrate the sacraments. But what does this mean? A recent First Things article argues that two distinct and irreconcilable visions of the church are at war, at least within the Episcopal Church and other Protestant churches; and the mentalities at work here can, I think, be found beyond the borders of Protestantism.
In "An Unworkable Theology" (First Things, June/July 2005) Philip Turner—vice president of the Anglican Communion Institute and former dean of Yale's Berkeley Divinity School—argues that in today's Episcopal Church the common message is that "God is love pure and simple. Thus, one is to see in Christ's death no judgment upon the human condition. Rather, one is to see an affirmation of creation and the persons we are. The life and death of Jesus reveal the fact that God accepts and affirms us." This direction of thought reveals what Turner calls "a theological chasm—one that separates those who hold a theology of divine acceptance from those who hold a theology of divine redemption....In respect to God, it produces a quasi-deist theology that posits a benevolent God who favors love and justice as inclusion but acts neither to save us from our sins nor to raise us to new life after the pattern of Christ. In respect to human beings, it produces an ethic of tolerant affirmation that carries with it no...

Most policy-relevant work on climate change in the social sciences either analyzes costs and benefits of particular policy options against important but often narrow sets of objectives or attempts to explain past successes or failures. We argue that an "applied forward reasoning" approach is better suited for social scientists seeking to address climate change, which we characterize as a "super wicked" problem comprising four key features: time is running out; those who cause the problem also seek to provide a solution; the central authority needed to address it is weak or non-existent; and, partly as a result, policy responses discount the future irrationally. These four features combine to create a policy-making "tragedy" where traditional analytical techniques are ill equipped to identify solutions, even when it is well recognized that actions must take place soon to avoid catastrophic future impacts. To overcome this tragedy, greater attention must be given to the generation of path-dependent policy interventions that can "constrain our future collective selves." Three diagnostic questions result that orient policy analysis toward understanding how to trigger sticky interventions that, through progressive incremental trajectories, entrench support over time while expanding the populations they cover. Drawing especially from the literature on path dependency, but inverting it to develop policy responses going forward, we illustrate the plausibility of our framework for identifying new areas of research and new ways to think about policy interventions to address super wicked problems.

Shotover Jet's boats were back on the water yesterday after
an ''unfortunate'' start to the new year, with operations
suspended for more than two days.
Marketing manager Nigel Kerr told the Otago Daily
Times yesterday afternoon the heavy rain, which began on
New Year's Eve, was unrelenting and caused the Shotover River
to rise quickly.
''When it rains like that, the river comes up and ... it's
just diabolically wet and bumpy.''
Mr Kerr said on New Year's Day the river was assessed and
found to be in flood so the decision was made to suspend the
operation until the river dropped.
The Otago Regional Council river and rainfall information
showed the Shotover River at Bowens Peak peaked about
180cumecs on Wednesday.
Mr Kerr said overnight snow on Wednesday was a blessing for
the company as it stopped some of the rain entering the
''There probably would have been [debris] but that's not
really the issue ... we just had so much water going through
... it's decidedly uncomfortable [and] it's not fun.''
The river was reassessed yesterday morning, with the first
trip for the new year on the water at 1pm and fully booked
all afternoon.
''It's been an unfortunate start to the new year, but
hopefully that's all behind us now.''
KJet, formerly Kawarau Jet, and Thunder Jet, both of which
operate on the Kawarau River, remained fully operational
despite the rain.
A Dart River Jet Safaris spokeswoman said the company also
suspended operations on Tuesday because of the heavy rain -
causing the Dart River to rise from its usual 200cumecs to
about 900cumecs.
The spokeswoman said trips were also cancelled on Wednesday
morning, but the operation resumed on Wednesday afternoon and
it was now business as usual.
Meanwhile, the ORC has posted high-level alerts for the
Clutha River below the Cardrona confluence and the Clutha
River at Balclutha, both of which had passed their first
flood warnings yesterday.
The Clutha River below the Cardrona confluence was running at
605cumecs by 4pm yesterday, having peaked at more than
The first flood warning for the river was 600cumecs.
The Clutha River at Balclutha was running at 1246cumecs
yesterday, above its first flood warning of 1140cumecs. The
river downstream of the Roxburgh dam peaked at 1100cumecs on
Wednesday night and at 5pm yesterday was still 970cumecs,
480cumecs above its mean flow.

30 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
Man, I was expecting the worst when this laptop shipped to me. I was thinking there would be visible scratches or hard drive components that are malfunctioning. I was definitely wrong, brand new laptop, sweet graphics, hugeeee screen. For a college student this is perfect. I can watch my movies, type my essays, and do just about anything I can with my old desktop. Great laptop, had it for about a week and this is my first review. (Too lazy to give reviews but this laptop was just amazing, Go figure. A lazy college student haha) No regrets. Great Value. Exceeded expectations
I have had this laptop for close to a year now, and i absolutley love it! it is a very huge screen, so it's great to watch movies or videos on. i love the HP dock feature also. If you ask me, this computer is the way to go. haven't had any crashes yet, also i love the imprinted pattern on it!
Looks new except where plastic protection peeled a little of the paint of the top of screen. Big whoop. Operates perfectly so far after a month. Can't beat value of this laptop. Only drawback could be 90 warranty instead of full year so I bought walmart's protection plan(was going to on any laptop). Free site to store was awesome and only took 2 days.
I'm impressed, this was a refurbished computer and I was a little skeptical, I didn't have any problems. I bought this for a gift so I checked everything out before giving it to her. Works great!
Anyone would enjoy this laptop. Its fast ,reliable, mobile. You can plug this little baby into your HDTV thru the HDMI port and everything on the laptop is on your Big Screen. Movies,Pictures,Youtube,Internet. I recommend a mouse even though the mouse pad built in works great.Wireless picks up all the hotspots, or go hardwired both are as expected from a very good company like HP. No problems or Issues. I bought mine reconditioned, This is what I am typing this review on. Recommend New or Reconditioned.
I am a very critical computer shopper. This refurbished laptop is a great value. Just like new. Great price. Highly recommended.
I bought this computer refurbished and was very pleased at the condition it was in when it arrived. It is basically a brand new computer at a fraction of the price. The scratch resistant exterior reminds me of a toughbook. The built in finger pad takes a little getting used to but has worked fine. A good computer for school, work, and multimedia. I have not tried playing games on this device and do not intend to use this laptop as a gaming system so I cannot comment in that department. Speakers are also very good.
I was skeptical about buying a "refurbished" product, but was pleasantly reassured when my laptop arrived in "like new" condition. The power, speed and performance of this unit meets and/or exceeds my expectations. I have spent twice the money on other "name brands" and been surprised at their lackluster performance. The HPG72 is not a high performance gaming machine. With that in mind what this package will do, and do well for you, is surf the web, run MS Office products well, and keep it's self at the peak of performance with minimal user effort. For those looking for a "workhorse" with a large screen, this deal was hard to beat. I tried to buy another for my wife but WalMart was sold out so I bought her the HPG72 with the ASUS dual core processor instead from WalMart on black Friday. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a new laptop with a numeric keypad. I am a professional user and have had very good luck with HP in the past. After shopping around this was the best deal I found. I didn't know what to make of hte refurbished label, but the machine arrived in new condition, no problems there. The local stores didn't have one so I ordered online. The machine came two days earlier than expected. Main uses are word, excel and web. Some cad, but not a power cad user. The machine is Windows 7, a much easier transition than to Vista. Lots of the Vista problems and quirks seem to be worked out. Wi fi and plug in networking sent seamlessly. The machine runs very fast and doesn't seem memory limited. The hard disk at 320 gig could have been larger, but it is much larger than my XP hard drive.. The left and right buttons for the touch pad are stiff, and there is no border for the touch pad itself. A wireless mouse is recommended. The keyboard is good sized and fits my fat fingers. It seems to flex a little while typing, but this is common on many of the laptops I have used. Past experience is that this won't be a problem. The display is clear, bright, and LARGE! The battery capacity at 4-6 hours is very good, much better than my XP machine. The machine is kind of heavy compared to my old one, goes with the size. The computer doesn't fit in my old carry bag, too wide. Now the main gripe, the outside case is textured but is very hard plastic and slipprey. I am keeping my eyes open for some kind of skin to give the case a little better feel. It's hard to grab the machine by one hand without worrying about dropping it. All in all a great machine.
computer was missing the web cam but wal-mart gave credit for it
not what i expected the graphics are terrible expected more from HP
My sons are engineering students but not computer geeks. This laptop runs CAD and their other applications without issues. It also plays movies well with a nice large screen and music, too. That's exactly what they needed. I wish the laptop came with MS Office software or an option to purchase it at a discount, but otherwise, you won't regret the purchase (unless you're a computer geek that plays WoW all day).
I had a 17" HP from Costco purchased for $980. I returned it and bought this. I am VERY impressed with its performance. I do a lot of Photoshop which requires much of system. This has been a joy to work with. The screen is sharp. HDMI is situated so you can run an external monitor AND a flat screen TV. In the Costco model you couldn't plug in VGA & HDMI simultaneously. All in all, I'm quite impressed. Also, I selected ship to store which might be a mistake. WalMart uses FedEx ground for site to store and it's rather slow. About 1.5 weeks from Georgia to California.
This is a fantastic computer. Very fast, great keyboard, and the screen is crystal clear. Long lasting battery and its the perfect size. I have burned CD's on it and was still able to surf the internet and operate other programs at the same time and it didn't miss a beat. Also, I switched to this from a Mac, and don't miss it a bit -- Windows 7 is fantastic and its nice to see they have improved so much since my last PC which ran XP. I love HP computers and I have not been disappointed with this one.
The unit is great looking, nice picture/graphics, and a good processor. I upgraded to 8 gigs of memory after I bought this laptop and the preformance is much better than I was expecting. The 17 inch screen displays great looking graphics on DVD and games. I have had no problems with this and can say it is a GREAT BUY for what is on the market and within a couple hundred dollars price wise. You will not be sorry with this purchase!!!
I just received my laptop a few days ago and I love IT!! When I opened the box, I was impressed. I did my research and read the previous reviews before I purchased it. It was brand new with a textured body, a giant screen which I needed since I have astigmatism. I used standard delivery which I was happy by because I received it the very next day at a very good time. This is my 2nd HP product, and I was not disappointed. Thanks
I bought this for my son and asked him what he thinks of it. He replied "it's awesome!". I think that summarizes our experience with it so far. Huge beautiful screen, fast and plenty of ram, large full keyboard, DVD, WiFi. He watches movies and plays games on it, primarily. He also surfs, Facebooks and does homework on it. Great value for the price if you want a large screen laptop!
Love the 17inch widescreen and the audio is better than some of the laptops I've had before. I really like that it has an HDMI port to connect to an HDTV. Only negative so far is the touchpad. A bit too much to the left and I don't love the surface. Overall, when you take the price into account I think the positives outweigh the negatives making this laptop worth a try.
I just received my notebook, literally, today by fedex, was excited to hurry and rush to get it open and turned on and see how it is. To my amazement and expectations it definitely is a great computer... the fact that it's soooo big and costs just a little is what gets me. Awesome, great buy and I recommend to everyone who likes their computer for entertainment use.
Great all around laptop. Can not belive it is a Refurbished unit....Looks like it was never used. Easy setup. I had a friend look at the specs before I bought it and he was very impressed with it AND could not beive the price. Bottom line...Looks good, Works great and great price!!!

Senate votes to end ban of gays in military
Senate also votes against DREAM Act for immigrants
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a historic vote for gay rights, the Senate agreed on Saturday to do away with the military's 17-year ban on openly gay troops and sent President Barack Obama legislation to overturn the Clinton-era policy known as "don't ask, don't tell."
The Senate also Saturday defeated by five votes the Deam Act that would have given hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants a path to legal status if they enrolled in college or joined the military.
Obama was expected to sign the "don't ask, don't tell" repeal into law next week, although changes to military policy probably wouldn't take effect for at least several months. Under the bill, the president and his top military advisers must first certify that lifting the ban won't hurt troops' ability to fight. After that, the military would undergo a 60-day wait period.
Repeal would mean that, for the first time in American history, gays would be openly accepted by the armed forces and could acknowledge their sexual orientation without fear of being kicked out.
More than 13,500 service members have been dismissed under the 1993 law.
"It is time to close this chapter in our history," Obama said in a statement. "It is time to recognize that sacrifice, valor and integrity are no more defined by sexual orientation than they are by race or gender, religion or creed."
The Senate voted 65-31 to pass the bill, with eight Republicans siding with 55 Democrats and two independents in favor of repeal. The House had passed an identical version of the bill, 250-175, last week.
Supporters hailed the Senate vote as a major step forward for gay rights. Many activists hope that integrating openly gay troops within the military will lead to greater acceptance in the civilian world, as it did for blacks after President Harry Truman's 1948 executive order on equal treatment regardless of race in the military.
"The military remains the great equalizer," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. "Just like we did after President Truman desegregated the military, we'll someday look back and wonder what took Washington so long to fix it."
Sen. John McCain, Obama's GOP rival in 2008, led the opposition. Speaking on the Senate floor minutes before a crucial test vote, the Arizona Republican acknowledged he couldn't stop the bill. He blamed elite liberals with no military experience for pushing their social agenda on troops during wartime.
"They will do what is asked of them," McCain said of service members. "But don't think there won't be a great cost."
How the military will implement a change in policy, and how long that will take remains unclear. Senior Pentagon officials have said the new policy could be rolled out incrementally, service by service or unit by unit.
In a statement issued immediately after the vote, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he will begin the certification process immediately. But any change in policy won't come until after careful consultation with military service chiefs and combatant commanders, he said.
"Successful implementation will depend upon strong leadership, a clear message and proactive education throughout the force," he said.Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he welcomes the change.
"No longer will able men and women who want to serve and sacrifice for their country have to sacrifice their integrity to do so," he said. "We will be a better military as a result."
Sen. Carl Levin, a chief proponent of repeal, said he has received a commitment from the administration that it won't drag its heels.
"We hope it will be sooner, rather than later," he said.

'In Treatment': Week seven in review
For the final time this season (and with a boutique show like this one, you never know if a given season will be the last one), we're going to review all four episodes of "In Treatment" in one post. My thoughts on the finales coming up just as soon as I'm voted off the island...
"I need to stop." -Paul
There's a formula that "In Treatment" has developed over its three seasons. Because, other than Paul himself, we have yet to continue a patient's story from season to season(*) - and because, as mentioned above, this is a show living precariously on HBO's largesse - we need to get some level of closure with all the stories. That can involve death (Alex), a patient quitting on Paul (April), a patient doing just well enough to stop (Sophie) or patients continuing therapy, but at a stage where it won't be as dramatically interesting anymore (Walter, Mia). And every year, Paul quits therapy himself, vowing never to return - until the show gets renewed and we need a closing episode for the week.
(*) In the Israeli show, the Jake/Amy characters from season one came back in season two so Paul could help their son cope with the divorce; because Warren Leight relocated Paul from Maryland to New York between seasons, that story was reconfigured to be about Oliver and a different set of knuckleheaded parents.
That formula can be distracting at times - I certainly would have found Paul's departure from Adele more powerful if we hadn't seen variations on it with Gina in the first two seasons - but in many other ways, Futterman, Epstein and company did some really interesting things with it in the final week. I'll get into specifics as we go patient-by-patient, but this was an awfully dark final week. Sunil turns out to have been playing Paul for weeks and is leaving the country, Jesse quits to align with his dad and Paul quits therapy and suggests (as he has many times before) that he's on the verge of quitting being a therapist. And even the Frances story, which ends with the two of them discussing their future therapy, isn't really a happy ending, since A)we know Tricia is going to die very soon, and B)We know that Paul may not be there for Frances the way she asked him to be.
For a season that felt a bit too familiar going in, it was a surprisingly, fascinatingly messy final week.
"I really did fuck this up." -Frances
First of all, I had to laugh at the Sunil/Frances switcheroo on Monday, not just because I often enjoy when the series tweaks the format, but because I know there are still some viewers who pick and choose which patients they're going to follow. Given that Sunil seems to be this season's most popular storyline, and Frances the least, I imagine there were some people who just DVR'ed the first episode, turned it on later that night or the next day, and were irked to realize they got the wrong one. (Though hopefully those people also have HBO On Demand.)
Paul talks in the Adele episode about how the incident with Sunil has made him second-guess everything his patients tell him, which was one of the things I talked about last week with Frances' story. Is she really the insufferable narcissist her daughter takes her for, or the more confused and vulnerable person we see in Paul's office? We don't know, because we don't get to follow her out into her life, and even she admits in recounting the story of calling the ambulance that she's not entirely sure what Tricia told her to do: "Maybe that wasn't what she was saying. Maybe I just heard what I wanted to hear."
And because we don't know that, we can't entirely know what she's going to do about the ventilator, or how much Paul can really help her deal with her own problems. She ends the season in a similar position to Walter and Mia last season, but where those two made significant breakthroughs in their final sessions of the season, I don't know that Paul has really come close to peeling this particular onion. We're just at something of a natural stopping point because Tricia is close to dying.(**)
(**) And I like that the show finally let Paul put into words some of the pain he's clearly been expressing about her the last few weeks. Again, we'll never know what that relationship was like, but I think it's pretty clear that Laura wasn't the first patient for whom Paul had inappropriate feelings.
Maybe the idea is that, if there's a fourth season, Debra Winger might come back, and that therefore Alison Tatlock and company didn't want to "solve" her problems here. But whatever the motivation behind ending it this way, I would have to say that this began as the season's least satisfying story and ended it the same way, even though there were some strong moments in between.
"This was my only way home, Paul." -Sunil
On the one hand, something about Sunil's game feels a little too David Mamet, or "Primal Fear," for a show like this. On the other hand, what Sunil did feels like a natural extension of what the show has been saying for three seasons about Paul's difficulty in erecting the proper barrier between doctor and patient. He treated Sunil like a friend rather than a patient - let him smoke, drank tea with him, discussed his own life - and Sunil took advantage of that. In his first episode, we learned that he was very smart, very stubborn, and wanted most of all to leave his son's home and return to Calcutta, and he worked Paul until he got what he wanted.
But what made this one - which, like all other episodes outside the office, was still structured as a therapy session - so strong was that there was blurring of the lines from both sides. Paul was too open of himself to Sunil, but at the same time, Sunil wasn't gaming Paul 24/7. There really were parts of the therapy that were honest and effective - just not effective enough to change Sunil's mind, nor enough to salve Paul's wounded ego. This wasn't just an episode about Keyser Soze cackling as he revealed his master plan to his mark, but rather two men grappling with what was and wasn't real about their friendship, and how much they've been hurt. Irrfan Khan mostly kept himself composed in this one, but there's that spectacular moment when Sunil pauses at the thought of never seeing his grandchildren again, and then of course the reprise of the Indian folk song, which Sunil continues even after he knows Paul can't hear it anymore.
Just a fantastic acting duet between these two, and though some aspect of the twist doesn't entirely sit right with me, I have to admit that I really want to go back now and watch the previous six episodes (particularly the last few) to see if I have any better sense of what was real than Paul is left with.
"I'm sorry." -Jesse
"Me too." -Paul
Earlier in this season, it seemed Jesse had an abundance of parental figures from which to choose. Now he's down to Roberto, and while I can't begrudge him that choice, it does stink that he felt he had to make that choice - and I suppose Adele might be right that this is yet another unintended consequence of Paul dropping his barriers. The very thing that makes Paul seem like such a compassionate therapist - and a character worthy of building a TV show around - is that he takes these cases very personally, and makes that clear to his patients, but there's a downside to that. A Paul who doesn't let Sunil smoke and drink tea maybe gets the silent treatment for several weeks, but he also doesn't get played like a mark in a long con. A Paul who doesn't let Jesse into his office at night, doesn't talk to him like a father rather than a therapist, might never have been able to build up trust with this confused, damaged kid, but a therapist with a more professional relationship would probably still be seeing him.
I liked that our brief glimpse of Roberto showed him to be neither saint nor demon, but just a guy. He cares about his son but doesn't see the world the same way, can be strict but not cruel, may be good for Jesse's short-term emotional health but stifling to his long-term creative growth, etc.
When Sophie left Paul's care, you could tell she was going to be okay. When April did, you understood why, and suspected that she would also survive. Jesse, though, I worry about. His search for a father figure was one of many, many issues he left on the table when he quit.
"Again and again, you have allowed your own feelings to interfere." -Adele
Though Paul was often a complete ass to Adele - including the opening moments of this session - I was glad to see that he was at peace with her in their session's closing moments. He could smile and acknowledge her skills as a therapist, not in a self-aggrandizing way like she suggested in their second session, but as a genuine compliment. But of course he could do that, since he has no intention of seeing her again - even if the demands of this TV show might say otherwise.
I have no idea what HBO's plans are for the show. They took a very long time after season two to decide on a third season. I wouldn't be shocked if Futterman and Epstein are as burnt out as Leight and Rodrigo Garcia were after their seasons, and Paris Barclay has already taken a job as chief director on "Sons of Anarchy" season four. It may be that the show returns with a new batch of behind-the-scenes personnel, or HBO might be done with it, or Byrne might be done. (His workload is extraordinary.)
There was a point after the first season where I suggested the show might be better off shifting to another lead shrink: possibly making Gina the main character, with Paul as one of her patients. I'm well past that point, though. Paul is the show, not just because Gabriel Byrne is so flippin' great in a reactive role that would crush many other actors, but because the problems Paul has in maintaining distance from his patients is what makes the show work as drama. I love Amy Ryan to pieces, and have greatly enjoyed the Paul/Adele episodes this year, but I think three or four episodes a week of Adele reacting Sphinx-like to her patients' issues wouldn't be nearly as compelling as seeing Paul care a little too much about them, let them manipulate and push his buttons, etc.
But at the same time, I don't know how much longer the concept can go. Paul's life has been a wreck for three years, but he's just barely gotten by in helping his own patients. Real people's emotional problems can endure for a lifetime, but as ongoing drama, the repetition can be problematic. I want to see more of Byrne performing these little one-act plays with the various incredible actors the show has cast, but I also get frustrated with Paul after a while, and also, as mentioned above, with the increasingly formulaic nature of the show. The longer I watch it, the harder it becomes to avoid comparing the new patients to the old ones. (I think over the course of this season, I compared Sunil to everybody but Sophie, though I have no doubt Irrfan Khan is a helluva gymnast.)
If the show comes back, I'll happily tune in for the great moments, for the new actors (and maybe the return of Debra Winger and Amy Ryan), etc. But there's a part of me that feels like that final shot of Paul disappearing into a sea of people on a busy Brooklyn street is the place where we should stop. Paul has decided that the solution to his life can't be found in a therapist's office. Whether he's right about that or not, I don't know, but I've gotten attached to the sad bastard, and I'd like to think he'll find something that makes him happier and more fulfilled, rather than just returning to that office again. He could be a damn good therapist at times, but he wasn't doing very well at healing himself.
What did everybody else think?

Mount and Blade Warband (PC) - 23 reviews
There is nothing innovative about this game, as the campaign mode is very open ended and in a typical fashion, lacking of background color. However, the multiplayer mode is exciting and addictive enough to overcome the limitations of the solo mode.
There are 8 modes in the multiplayer grounds: the usual modes and then there are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Conquest and Capture The Flag; with up to 64 players in warrior, archer, and knight classes slashing and punching each other in lag – free battles. Each of the characters can be customized with weaponry and armory that can be purchased with the games' currency, dinar, and upgraded during battles with the money earned for killings. Set in typical medieval times, matches happen in castles, small Nordic towns, snowy hamlets and riversides. Each of these locations was dressed up to be attractive that is generally an improvement from the original game.
Most of the battles here are melee, skirmishing facing each other with every sword swing, axe hurling, pikes, and other medieval weapons by clicking the mouse in the direction you want to launch your attack. To swing overhand and down, oush forward as you click. To swing towards the right, push to the right. This control scheme allows you greatly customize and experiment on your moves as the game has great physics and detailed battlefields.
Due to the click based attacks, you will never feel you are in control of the game, but not because they are hard to master but rather they are an acquired taste. The game adds a sense of desperation and realism that is not found in most games. If you're used to the simple click attacks found in most other action games, you'll struggle at first. Early matches are frustrating as you might wind up shifting the camera all over the place as you move the mouse back and forth to make attacks. There is no rating system for players or servers, either, so you inevitably get tossed to the wolves and find yourself slaughtered by more skilled opponents in the beginning. I would highly recommend this game for the multiplayer mode and avoid playing the single player action.

Bumble the talking flying lemur is the player's virtual buddy, who will guide him through Lemuria the animals' island. Bumble brings the player to the Bonding Circle where he picks a cat to take care of. The player will have a limited choice from the Big Cat family. He can choose between a lion, tiger, cheetah panther, and leopard. After a short time of bonding with the cat, the player is set for the real game. He needs to give his pet a name. The game has an open ended plot which may begin as a narrative on the pirate's treasure and the mysteries of the island. Kinectimal's structure is pretty interesting although Bumble can be annoying at times. After the story, the game is free for the player to roam. The player can wash, play catch, throw Frisbees, and drive RC cars and others. As with other Kinect games the player uses his body to control the actions of the game.
The player can toss balls to be fetched by his pet or teach the cat with tricks. Every toy ha a mini-game experience with its own objectives. For example, if the player wants Frisbee a short challenge must be finished first, in Frisbee the player will have to hit some targets or throw a disc at a marked distance. What's interesting with the game is that everything the player does with the pet has a corresponding experience points and money. It is important to collect money as this are useful in buying additional toys and furniture for the player's virtual; home. On the other hand experience points are needed to unlock game contents. The Discovery Bar available in each are tracks the players experience progress. Mini-games get opened when the bar is full. These mini-games will be the new areas to be explored and played.
The game's structure works perfectly for progression. It would be easy to unlock mini-games and playing it even for a short session will unlock lots of areas. The cat also brings up toys to play with; the player picks whichever he likes. Although there are some issues with regards to the controls of the game, it hasn't reduced the game's ability to provide fun. There are lots of fun things to do within the game like driving an RC car. Since this is an open game, the player need not finish all challenges to get to the next toy. They can simply ignore a toy and choose another. This makes the game more entertaining. The player won't waste their time on levels they feel not playing. The game's friendly and open gameplay makes it a perfect pick for youngsters and for families.
This is a game which will run slowly even if you have dual core with 6 GB of RAM. Even with the lowest graphic configuration you will feel some delays in this game, which is not a very good thing to experience. Another problem in this game is that you get to start with captain's rank rather than work your way up, would of lasted longer adding the simple option. You have not enough training given in this game and if you are a first timer then making successful torpedo attacks with our any training can be sometimes difficult.
It gives you a perfect view from over a thousand miles to watch a ship catching fire and then sinking in freezing water. Silent hunters have always been a great experience to lay because they are the only games which provide you with perfect view of watching 20,000 tons of ship sinking in the ocean with every successful torpedo attack. But with this view comes the terror that your enemy can spot you at any time. You crew whispering and every time you come up you have the threat of being spotted.
Overall this game does not do well due to all the problems within the game, it needs a serious overhaul, you could say it needs a ship shine. For instant the intelligence system is completely ridiculous and is shoddy at best, the audio stutters at random points whilst playing. There really needs for games to be released both on internet connection and offline to combat these problems.
With the gaming pace of today's games there is no excuse for shoddy and unfinished games, these problems and solutions should be fixed before the gamer lays eyes on them. It seems to be a common problem with developers to submit games to the pubic whilst probably knowing full well the game is not up to scratch.
I certainly would avoid it, save the hassle of going the motions of a poorly developed game.

Trainz Simulator 2009 (PC) - 23 reviews
Another title in the simulation game genre, Trainz 2009 offers railroad addicts and enthusiasts the chance to design their own idea of what a track should look like. It features three modes. The Driver mode will put players in the driver's seat of a true-to-life train – pulled by a steam, diesel or electric powered engine. If the player wants to discover the train's engines, cars and cabooses, the Railyard mode would be perfect. On the other hand, if the player is more into map planning or editing, he must play the Surveyor mode.
The attraction of the Surveyor mode is that it allows players to build their own train track and add the attributes of the environment, the terrain, the route of the tracks, and many other components, to make the simulation look real. There's a lot to discover in this mode. The player can choose from thousands of elements, from texture brushes, cars, buildings or trees, even a community. The ability to change the season also makes for a perfectly realistic train experience. Not only that, the player can also change the train itself. With various engines, textures, cars and accessories available, you can make your train unique. If the player thinks he's creative, he can even import his personalized elements from any 3D modeling program such as 3D Studio Max.
Although the graphic quality is not as good as you could wish for, the richness of the elements within the game makes up for this. The engines are modeled exceptionally well, however, this high standard is not matched by the environment's texture and rendering. It also has a bland background, with few details along the rail track. Sometimes there are cars or people passing-by but they are not very convincing. The game can boast of its high definition contents and enhanced models which give a stimulating visual experience. It also has a realistic audio background – the whistle and the usual train noises all brilliantly synchronized with the visuals.
There are still lots of surprises within the game. Occasional lightning storms might make the player think that something has gone wrong with the PC, but actually it is part of the game. It is realistically harmonized with the screen toggle and happens unpredictably.
Finally, Trainz Simulator 2009 is a unique game; set apart from the others already out in the market. Simply, the game is an engaging experience worth trying. The Trainz avid fanatics will definitely love this installment and for those who have never come across Tainz before it is certainly worth a try.

Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Swamp (DS) - 23 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo DS
Everybody knows Scooby Doo and every game that uses such a well known personality will probably be a hit, especially to the younger fans. You may wonder if the Scooby Doo character in the game is as lovable as the one you already know, only you can be the judge of that. Of course, as you would expect, Scooby Doo is the main character in the game but, as well as this lovable dog, you can take the part of all the other characters, such as Fred, Shaggy, Velma and Daphne.
The different characters all have different skills, abilities and powers, which you must learn to maximize at all stages of the game. The player should be able to meet objectives, find clues, and more importantly point to the correct suspect. As usual in this type of game, as you look for the correct suspect, you are faced with different challenges and games that you must win in order for you to advance to the next level. And of course each level has an increased level of difficulty. The graphics of the game are good, the leveling and set challenges are well done, and, at least for Scooby Doo fans, it is reasonably enjoyable as the game's inspiration comes from the Scooby Doo stories with his many equally well loved companions.
It may not be as difficult as some other puzzle or challenge oriented games, but its simple fun even if perhaps aimed at the very young. Scooby Doo and the Spooky Swamp is a game for those who don't need large doses of realistic violence in their games. It is gently paced, fun and relaxing but at the same time very challenging for the younger ones. You can also, perhaps more entertainingly, play this game with a friend.

Arcania Gothic 4 (PC) - 23 reviews
The Arcanian scenery, portrayed in the usual pseudo-romantic Gothic style, is indeed beautiful and discovering new aspects of its strange other-wordly terrain and its imposing castles, is fun in itself. But inevitably there has to be a hero, and, as in previous Gothics, the hero is nameless. He has just proposed to his loved one, and to make for even more trajedy they are expecting a child. Then, of course, and where would we be without it, the inevitable disaster strikes to ruin what seemed to be an ideal family future. When disaster strikes it does so in a big way, his family are slaughtered by the troops of the mad, evil King. Seeking revenge, our nameless hero sets out on a trek to the mountains to visit a mystical mythical forge, such things as smith's forges always having been associated with godly powers, and he's out to get him some. There are of course great expanses of country to traverse with many challenges on the way. All this with the aim of seeking a bloody revenge on the perpetrator of the aforesaid attrocities.
Here begins the adventure involving those travels all through the land of Arcania, dealing with the sometimes hostile peasantry, visiting dark dungeons and slaying hordes of contentious jabbering goblins. Its undulating terrain hides dungeons used as hiding places by hideous Orcs and creepy Spiders. The land is populated with peasants who live in wooden hutted towns, and pester our hero all the time while continuously making the most annoying vocal noises. So annoying that your best bet is to go into town, do your business, and get out again as quickly as possible. While here we have Goblins to fight, crop destroying beetles to crush and mead to fetch by way of appeasing the poverty stricken peasants. The game also takes you away from the towns to regions of wilderness where more enemies lurk all around and their destruction calls upon you to muster all your strength.
The skills of combat and magic that are available are rather thin on the ground but adequaie, the audio-vocals are annoyingly awful but, for the many many hours it took to succeed in the main quest, the constantly changing, ever interesting and beautiful scenery, where every turn of a corner presented something new, more than made up for its faults. This game is a good old fashioned, wandering adventure, not deep or demanding, but easy to play and, when playing, time justs shoots by. Its like going on holiday.

Football Manager 2011 follows in the long traditon of one of the most successful series of recent years. As in pevious years it gives you a version of the football world so detailed that it is rumoured that real clubs use its database to scout for players. Whether the rumour is true or not is irrelevant to the game but is a pointer to its accuracy. This attention to detail and a sensible control interface gives you an entertaining game which soon becomes a harmless addiction. I began, in my first run, as manager of unlikely relegation candidates Liverpool FC , how real is that, and ended up playing for half the day.
If you expected the classy looking interface introduced last season you won't be disappointed. It remains as simple as it was then. My first impressions was that it was last year's game release and that was OK until came across some of the poorer aspects the earlier releases in the series which have not yet been sorted out. For instance the press conferences remain dull and repetitive, they involve answering effectively the same old questions with the same unsubtle answers. This is a shame because part of the charisma of a manager, love him or hate him, is his public image generated by such encounters with the media. The same with team pep talks, which involve selecting one of five cries of encouragement to shout at your players. It's a boring but traditional, and pretty pointless part of the pre-match stageing. The 3D match engine is still nearly as hopeless as it ever was, but some new player animations have been added and it looks marginally better than it did before. But it can be switched off.
Luckily there are a couple of improvements that help make up for the above failings. One of the most welcome is the change to the previously plodding method of negotiating contracts to make the process less of a chore. Getting big name players to put their cross on the paper can be difficult, not suprisingly, given the giant egos involved and the attendant press speculation, let alone the financial side of thing. In previous versions it was done by the manager offering a player terms, and a few days later his agent would get back to you either agreeing, refusing or requesting continuing negotiations. It is now a much quicker process, between just the manager and the player's agent. While on the subject of agents, this time around these, in real life, often deeply unpopular, even though usually unseen individuals, are not just nameless and faceless abstract beings but have distinctive and varying personalities. The hundreds of agents in the game, none of them real I am told, have lists of clients, as well as stats for their own willingness to tout players, their fees, and their negotiating methods and abilities.
This game follows in the long tradition, faults and all, of this deservedly well subscribed series, and, even though only a slight improvement on last years offering it is still wonderful entertainment and thankfully takes longer than ninety minutes, extra time and penalty shootouts put together. Its certainly a game of five halfs and well on target.
The package consists of the basic game plus all the usual extras such as a book of over 150 pages containing stills from the action and a look behind the scenes and much more. But unless you are a devotee, you can do without all this.
World of Warcraft builds on the success of similar themed games by cherry picking the best ideas from here, there, and everywhere, putting their own slant on them, and incorporating them into one package, more often than not improving upon them. So, World of Warcraft has everything you could want in a game. All the usual game components are present, you fight different creatures, go on various missions, get the thrill of gaining experience to learn more skills, not to mention getting to play on line with a large number of other players.
Although a complex game it is carefully thought out and very "user-friendly" allowing the players to get the feel of things relatively quickly. There aren't any tutorials that show you how the game should be played, you have to figure this out for yourself and use whatever knowledge you get, from playing again and again, to your advantage. The 3D graphics allow you to play without too much interruption. Games are loaded really fast, taking away the whole attendant boring waits that can sometimes be present.
Apart from it being played in multiplayer, World of Warcraft makes a huge number of quests available and this is more than enough to keep a player busy. However, you can't set out on just about any quest you want, this is a facility you have to earn. This does have an upside though; it prepares you for what is to come in later quests rather than just throwing you into them unequipped with some of the essential know-how required to achieve a winning result.
It is an enjoyable, absorbing game, solid in every department. But beware, before deciding to play this game, allow yourself plenty of free time, or take a day off, its hard to stop once you get into it.

Farming Simulator 2011 (PC) - 23 reviews
Farming Simulator 2011 is set in a free-roaming open world farming environment. There are simple missions to begin with that allow you to grasp the basics of the game. There is also a new feature allowing you to farm online with other players. But by far the best features that has been added into Farming Simulator 2011 are the cows, and, as a farmer they are very useful to you. How did you ever manage without them? You buy cows, feed them on grass and otherwise worthless farming cereal leftovers and they produce manure that can be used as a crop fertilizer, and their milk is collected from your tanks everyday by the dairy. Junk in, useful stuff out.
Unfortunately in terms of livestock cows are it, but they are a good start to a new type of farming introduced to the series, and hopefully more varieties of livestock in the near future. As an aside, the cows are well modelled as cow modelling goes. The cows are a new feature to the series and so is the online play. You can either join existing games, or create your own, with a maximum of 10 players. The idea actually works really well and allows you to run a farm with your friends in a realistic enough world. There is also the facility to use voice or text chat.
The large and varied amount of machinery available in the game can be frightening to the newcomer, and the tutorials, or missions as they are called in Farming Simulator 2011, do not cover every piece of machinery. It's not really necessary, but if you don't know your tractor from your muck spreader you may create a sink..
You still rely on the sowing and harvesting the usual cereal crops for your main income and the career mode functions in the same manner as before, so whether you wish to simply grow crops with basic equipment or make as much money as possible in order to upgrade your machinery is up to you. Or maybe you just want to be a cow farmer. Whatever you decide there is nothing stopping you going ever onwards.
The best improvement on Farming Simulator 2011 is your locale. This new location in which you reside not only has more places of interest, but everything feels much more realistic, unlike the rather soulless island of Farming Simulator Gold. The village and coastline is buzzing, with boats and cars darting around. You even get to meet people in the village itself. Better still, the much loved bottle hunt is back, allowing you to scavenge around the island for bottles to recycle; the more bottles you recycle, the better your reputation and the more money you get back from selling things.
Your most valuable item in Farming Simulator is not your Tractor, but your PDA, not only will your PDA inform you of the week's weather, but it will keep you up-to-date with the prices of crops, the amount of resources you have in storage and your location on the world map.
There are only around 5 keys you need to use throughout the game making the experience user-friendly. Farming Simulator 2011 also supports the Xbox 360 controllers if you prefer not to use your keyboard. However like most simulators your friend is the cruise control, which you will find yourself using on many occasions to ensure that you are not trying to plough your fields so fast that it is having no effect. The handy 'hire worker' also returns to ensure that if you've got some spare money you needn't worry about the dirty work involved in tending your land.
What I found most unusual is that, for a simulation game, the graphics are actually better than they need to be. Some people who have played the game say that the only trouble with getting into the flow is learning about all the different varieties of machinery. To me this is a great part of the game's attraction. Many a mistake can be made through buying a very useful attachment for your tractor but not knowing how to attach it, there is nothing to explain it.
If you played Farming Simulator 2009 then you'll be completely in your element with 2011 and if you haven't you'll still get to love it. Like all good simulation games it offers pretty much unlimited scope.

Surprise, surprise, the basic formula for Quiz TV is exactly the same as previous Buzz games, there's not much you can change, after all a quiz is a quiz. The show is hosted by Buzz, voice supplied by Jason Donovan, and includes around 5,000 questions. The buzzers have received an upgrade and the game comes with four of the new wireless controllers which work incredibly well. The wireless remotes require two AA batteries each, but you can use the original PlayStation 2 buzzers with the new game if you prefer. As a bonus, the new wireless buzzers also work with all of the old games.
There are three main modes: a solo mode against the clock, a local multiplayer mode you can play with up to seven friends, and an online mode where you play against players on line. Unfortunately only one person per console can play the game online at any given time. The questions are divided into five categories: The Music Channel, The Movies and TV Channel, The Knowledge Channel, The Sports Channel, and The Lifestyle Channel. You can choose a particular category, or choose Channel Hopper to get an assortment of questions from all of the channels. Quiz TV also includes MyBuzz, a channel based on user-generated questions.
If you go over to you can create quizzes using your PlayStation Network ID. You're able to set the privacy options on your quizzes so that everyone may play them, or limit them so that only you or your PS3 friends can see them.
Quiz TV supports downloadable content, and a number of question packs are already available on the PlayStation Network.
Buzz is exactly what you would expect from a game show format, bright, clean, and lighthearted. While not the best, the visuals are adequate and better than the PlayStation 2 versions. Technically, Quiz TV holds a steady frame rate even with eight contestants on the screen at one time.
The contestants themselves are well drawn and incorporate some of the same stereotypes from previous Buzz games. Some of the choices include a cheerleader, a mime, a rocker, an Elvis impersonator, a superhero, and even a Japanese schoolgirl. The sound effects, background music, and dialogue are all accurate, being corny, cheesy, and repetitive at times, just like the real thing. The lines
delivered by the host are more polished this time around, and he comes across almost as smooth, smarmy, and schmaltzy as any real-life daytime TV host.
Trivia freaks may still find Buzz! Quiz TV a doddle, but it serves up an interesting array of questions for a especially for a boozy party crowd. At its core it's just a quiz show. Will non quiz lovers love it, that's the sixty four thousand dollar question.

C.J. Wilcox believes his basketball path will help his transition to the NBA
ESPN Insider Chad Ford graded the Clippers' draft a C+ in his post-draft analysis, noting that Wilcox is a player with deep range that could help the playoff team immediately, "but didn't they draft that guy last year in Reggie Bullock?"
There will also be competition for Wilcox to earn playing time. The team's returning top options at shooting guard are Crawford, the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award winner last year, and J.J. Redick. What will it take for him to contribute next season?
"Beat out those other guys," Rivers said. "But maybe he could move, maybe he could play the 3 some, too. It's a competition, it always will be, it always should be. But he has a tool that can get him on the floor. He has a couple of them: he has size and he can shoot."
Though he grew up in Utah, Wilcox — whose father Craig Wilcox played at BYU — will also have the added benefit of having family close in Los Angeles. Two years ago, they moved to San Diego.
"I wanted to stay on the West Coast from the beginning," he said. "It's really convenient that they're done here in San Diego and I'm a two-hour drive away from them. They'll be able to make it to a lot of games.
"My dad's excited because he didn't get to see many games when I was up in Seattle. I think it's a blessing in disguise that they ended up moving out here."
Wilcox will get his first chance to impress in game action when the Clippers open summer league play with a game against the Chicago Bulls on July 12 in Las Vegas. The L.A. team also has contests scheduled with the Miami Heat on July 14, then the Houston Rockets the next day, with games from July 16-21 to be determined.
"I definitely feel like I've got a lot to learn," he said. "Even though I'm 23, I still feel like my game can still expand in so many ways, which is not what you expect from a 23-year-old.
"There's a lot of room to expand and I'm excited to be in L.A. to do that."

And, of course, Issa's right… But it's actually worse than that. Holder's actions are also un-American. More than being corrupt, political, or criminal, Eric Holder's repeated use of thuggary and intimidation are fundamentally antithetical to the American form of government. But, he's not alone in his un-American wielding of federal power. There is a growing sense among the ruling elite, that government is a tool to keep the citizens in line. The IRS is more than a revenue collection agency, it is (apparently) a tool to silence and harass political opponents. The DOJ isn't merely a law enforcement agency, but an agency with the power to manipulate and intimidate the public into compliance with certain world views.
When (a) government is gleefully wielding its power to harass, bully or intimidate the populace into submission, things have gone off the track somewhere. I guess this is the "Hope and Change" that America voted for in 2008: A world where the government runs extortion schemes and protection rackets while bullying industries they don't like. Who knew that liberal utopia looked so much like Chicago?

Re: Boxing and holding
Can't say the exact rules, but the enforcement for excessive holding is highly dependent on the referee's judgement. I personally feel strict enforcement of this rule can bring better matches that rewards the skillful fighters. The example I am thinking of is the recent enforcement of holding in NHL hockey. That rule opened up the game and rewarded skillful players. A bit of the same with the NBA games also.

Re: Boxing and holding
Marquess of Queensberry rules
In general, boxers are prohibited from hitting below the belt, holding, tripping, pushing, biting, or spitting. The boxer's shorts are raised so the opponent is not allowed to hit to the groin area with intent to cause pain or injury. Failure to abide by the former may result in a foul or wallet slap. They also are prohibited from kicking, head-butting, or hitting with any part of the arm other than the knuckles of a closed fist (including hitting with the elbow, shoulder or forearm, as well as with open gloves, the wrist, the inside, back or side of the hand). They are prohibited as well from hitting the back, back of the neck or head (called a "rabbit-punch") or the kidneys. They are prohibited from holding the ropes for support when punching, holding an opponent while punching, or ducking below the belt of their opponent (dropping below the waist of your opponent, no matter the distance between). If a "clinch" – a defensive move in which a boxer wraps his or her opponents arms and holds on to create a pause – is broken by the referee, each fighter must take a full step back before punching again (alternatively, the referee may direct the fighters to "punch out" of the clinch). When a boxer is knocked down, the other boxer must immediately cease fighting and move to the furthest neutral corner of the ring until the referee has either ruled a knockout or called for the fight to continue.

A 2004 Biopic about the life of Alfred Kinsey, a pioneer in the area of human sexuality research, whose 1948 publication "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" was one of the first recorded works that saw science address sexual behavior. Starring Liam Neeson as Alfred Kinsey, Laura Linney as Clara McMillen (Kinsey's research partner and wife), Peter Sarsgaard as Clyde Martin (Kinsey's research partner and occasional lover) and John Lithgow as Alfred Seguine Kinsey (Alfred Kinsey's father).
- Adaptational Attractiveness: The real Alfred Kinsey vs. Liam Neeson.
- Adaptation Distillation: How to fit 18 years of research into 118 minutes of screentime, including the credits? Looks like we're gonna need a montage!
- Anything That Moves : The "omnisexual," who doesn't even care if his partners are adults. While Kinsey is pretty open-minded, this "subject" clearly disgusts him.
- Bigger Is Better in Bed : Zigzagged. Mrs. Kinsey has trouble, but the long ruler is shown admiringly.
- Bi the Way: Kinsey was bisexual, and had many affairs with other men and women.
- A Date with Rosie Palms : The "omnisexual" does this right in front of Kinsey, to show how quickly he can have an orgasm.
- Deadpan Snarker: Quite a bit, throughout the film.Alfred Kinsey: The doctors say my heart sounds like a cement mixer.Clyde Martin: At least they found one.
- Metaphorically True: He was filming animals to make a visual record of mammalian behavior. He never said which mammal species he was focusing on (H. sapiens, as it turned out).
- Really Gets Around: Both Kinsey and his wife had several extramarital affairs. No Double Standard was applied, since both Alfred and Clara were polyamorous and had an "open marriage".
- Also the "omnisexual" man, a much more skeevy example. Almost literally Anything That Moves.
- Sex Is Good: Or at least, not evil. Kinsey wanted to clear away the misinformation and rumors about sex and give people facts.
- Take That Me: Part of an interview from the movie.Reporter: Any plans on a Hollywood picture based on the book?Alfred Kinsey: I can't think of anything more pointless.
- Very Loosely Based on a True Story
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: Kinsey has a rather strained relationship with his father. The old man laments that the only kids he has left at home are a daughter that is "too fat to get married" and a son with a failed business while the only one that left is "the big scientist".
- What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Kinsey had problems with this concept.Clyde Martin: Just one more question. You've just told me your entire history: childhood, family, career, every person you've ever had sex with. But there hasn't been a single mention of love.Alfred Kinsey: That's because it's impossible to measure love. And, as you know, without measurements there can be no science. But I have been thinking a lot about the problem lately.Clyde Martin: Mmh, "problem"?Alfred Kinsey: When it comes to love, we're all in the dark.

"Richard Strachey worked in India, marrying Jane, the daughter of the Indian Chief Justice, in 1859. A successful imperial couple, they were progressive, following the ideas of Auguste Comte and J.S. Mill, and the teachings of science. Their ten children were born over a period of 27 years and reflect the development and changes in a Victorian society moving to modernity. The richness of their letters provides a picture of a large, complex, and diverse family where attitudes to the family name, gender tensions, differing views on sexuality, ideas on modernity, and varying degrees of support for feminism all played a part."--Jacket.

Holy shit... this is really creepy, very good work!
Very Evil creepy like you're work.
What's it made of?
Well the face is latex, the hood is fabric, i added burlap to it and made it look worn to give it kinda like homless woman status lol
you had me at the latex + fabric part. Now that's a mask worth 80 bucks. I don't know why I was afraid it might be paper mache or something. So... is this like a unique product or do you reproduce it on demand?
Lol! Yeah its not paper mache haha. Well I make and sell the originals, (the one in the photos is the original). It being still for sale, id sell that one before i make another. But i always keep the molds so more can be made.
Thank you so much for the reply. i'm going through some weird phase i suppose, i can't really tell, but for the past few months i've been obsessing about morbid facial gear and disfigurement... So i like to keep my options open if i decide to get myself an early birthday present How long does it usually take you to make one of these and do they come in various colors?
No problem lol. Well if you want me to make another one customized itll be a little more seeing that i already have one ready to go. But It takes about 3/4 days (including drying time, latex takes forever to dry sometimes lol) to make from scratch.

Research Institution:
AbstractMetalized polyimide films have become a standard for soft x-ray filters due to polyimide¿s strength and thermal stability. Utilization of polyimide support has led to increasingly larger and thinner filters, and throughput on missions such as the Chandra X-ray Observatory has been increased significantly. Newer missions such as Constellation-X require higher transmission across a large range of energies. To achieve greater transmission, next generation filters must look to even more advanced materials. The proposed innovation is to reinforce ultra-thin polyimide with extremely high strength materials such as Kevlar (polyaramid) or carbon fibers, to create a robust composite filter. At low x-ray energies (< 600 eV), the reinforcing fiber structure will have significantly higher transmission than the often-required metal mesh which it would replace. At higher energies above 3 keV, the Kevlar or carbon reinforcement will be nearly invisible, and improvements in mission throughput will be even more significant. In all cases it is expected that the increase in transmittance will be 10% or greater. The goal of this Phase I effort will be to show the feasibility of producing these types of composite materials for use in future x-ray astronomy missions and other Astrophysical Observing Systems

Reform keyed to helping rich
Published: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.

To The Editor: Your June 17 article about Kelly Olsen's talk on Social Security said her goal was to assure people that Social Security is not really about the best way to provide retirement income to ordinary Americans, but about what is best for upper income Americans and the financial services industry!
She certainly did not say that.
What she did say was more like that the current fight about Social Security "reform" was motivated by what's best for upper income Americans and the financial services industry.
