Help Me

Dear Lord…
What is wrong with me??? I thought I was getting better, and then last night happened. Worst hours in a week. Am I really getting better? I am giving everything I have to choosing faith over fear, and I am stronger than I was a couple weeks ago. But…this morning I wake up and I don't want to trust my own body. Fear. Am I getting better?…
Yes, my sweet. Your body is indeed knitting itself back to full health, with my aid. Sometimes 'setbacks' aren't really setbacks at all, but just the process of healing. Healing in all forms can come in waves, just like grief – as you well know.
I am trying. I am fighting for myself and for the higher truth with everything I have…I don't have any more to give…
I know, my love. I know all too well. And I tell that in that place of grace, is where my body, through the sacrament of my sacrifice – steps in and carries you. If you cannot trust your own body perfectly, you can trust Mine. For I carry you. Did you think you would not need me again, my love? Faith is needed in your life, in big ways.
I am angry at you for making me learn this lesson this way. It's so unbearably hard. I can't fight this looming depression well and I can't live my life to get outside of it. I feel weak and needy, unwell and a bit abandoned. I feel angry and hopeless, even amidst the faith I have been building. I cannot do this any more, Lord…
My Lily. You ARE doing this. You are enduring. You are leaning into me, and you are exercising the faith I wish for you to embrace. You give yourself and your will to me again and again, and you acknowledge that I Am King – your prince of peace. Your everlasting Father. Your Counselor. I feel your emotions and I validate them, but even more do I validate that you have accepted this reality with meekness and humility. I will stave off the self-pity, my sweet – and I will make up all the rest of what you are not able. I would not have invited this lesson for you if you were not able to bear it. But even so, it is temporary – it is not permanent. Already, you have felt the strength in your body and that healing that has been happening. It will continue…be not dismayed by the slow pace. Faith is a slow process, but it will not be slower than you can bear.
I do not want to harm my body by not getting the proper care for it – you know how much I respect and try to honor this vessel you have gifted me. Even without health insurance, I don't care if it means my body is hurting and needs help beyond what I can give.
Do you trust me, my love?
I am trying, God. I am trying with all I have.
The answer does not lie in quick acting medicines or procedures, Monica Rai. It lies in Me. And in your patience, faith, and trust. I know this has lasted longer than almost any illness you have thus far endured, and I know your searching of pertinent medical diagnoses to calm your troubled heart and even more troubled mind. I understand this need, and I do not judge you for it. I know you are giving me your best. I know you are wanting to promise feats of behavior and even old desires of perfectionism if I but heal you – but love, this is not a punishment. This is a lesson. I do not require perfection, I require your faith. Your trust. Your obedience. I would desire, your love. And I have that – I have that in spades, my love.
I do not feel home anywhere…and I haven't felt well enough to create a homey space for me here in Long Island to help ease my depression and encourage productivity…I cannot DO ANYTHING TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER, and it's killing me inside. I do not like it here, I don't want to be here anymore. I don't like Brooklyn either…I don't know why we came…I can only lay there and watch my muscles atrophy and my hope struggle not to snuff out.
Physical muscle can be rebuilt, as you have done countless times and as you will do again. This, was a time of building your faith muscles and nurturing your spirituality – both with me, and with Nick as a couple. That is the muscle you have been strengthening, for it was weak and 'atrophied' and needed tending to. And in my great wisdom, I knew you would not address it in the manner that it needed. So I provided the opportunity for you to do so. I recognize that this is one of the hardest trials you have faced – mostly because in addition to everything else changed in your life, and you controlling nothing – your body and health is also affected, the last thing you have that is your own. But your body is mine, it is gifted to you – and you needed to re-learn this lesson. It is a lesson of the acutest kind, and it will not last long. I know it feels like it has been an eternity already, and that you cannot recall what it is to have a healthy body to live your life. But I do promise you this, my Lily, my brave soul – it is lessening. It will not be as unbearable as it started out as. It will continue to abate, little by little. Do not push yourself, physically. Let your body have the time it needs to knit together once again. Know that the moments of feeling unwell will also abate, they will not remain, and they will continue to be of less frequency and duration than the last. I needed you to reach to me, today. I needed you to know, how desperately and deeply I love you. I needed you to know that I am preparing you – not punishing you. There is a vast difference. You do not need punishing, Monica Rai, you need championing. And we stand all around you, doing so.
Your inactivity and seeming unproductive hours and days will start to have meaning, will begin to make sense to you and you will start to feel the significance and symbolism and holiness this time is meant to teach you and give you. We are here to minister to you – listen, feel of our presence and our communication, feel of our support. You are in a holy sphere, Monica my Love. Embrace it. Lean unto it, unto us – in your want. You have been submitting to this in greater and deeper ways each day. You have shown great faith by going with your father great distances to visit your brother, who sore needed his family. You show great faith by going back to my sweet daughter L's home, which she has lovingly opened to you to share. It might not be your home, but it is a home in which I am welcome. And that is what you need most. Not your own place where you can isolate and be alone, but here – you are surrounded by my Spirit and by women who love you. I validate the difficulty you face of feeling split and stretched, unable to surround yourself with your own beautiful things. But my Spirit is more potent than that, and it is that Spirit that I wish you to embrace, rather than the belongings that have comforted you so much in the years previous.
Yes, this is a terribly difficult lesson. But it has slowed you down enough to keep you here – rather than running away, which you have been trying to do. Stay put, my love…and feel of me. Partake of this love and comfort being offered you. I love that you gave your father the opportunity to bless you, more than once. Heed those words. Heed the faith he has in his marked and powerful ability to access me while laying his hands on your head. Your body will tell you what it needs, do not be afraid to nourish it. It needs those things in order to continue healing.
My darling girl, this too, shall pass. And when it is over, you will have changed, even now – you are greatly changed. You will not forget how this changed your heart, but you will forget the physical particulars of this trial. This is good in my eyes, for your body will be needed — it is needed to carry and bear the children who are waiting for you. A time which looms very close indeed. This in-between time, albeit hard and difficult and pronounced in its potency of lessons — will be short. You will move on to where life is calling you both, starting out a new journey in a new place. I bless this union of yours, and I bless how hard you are both trying to look to me during this time. It strengthens your bond, your love, and your yoked faith in Me. How I love you, and love you, and love you…my darling Lily. You come to me, when you are heavy laden, and I shall give you rest. Be well, I bless you to knit and heal faster and faster, that you might reap the blessings of obedience and of the miracles I deign to bestow upon you. You are my miracle, and I will heal you. Be still — and know that I am God. We love you.

"'Look, the wind vane fluttering in the autumn breeze takes hold of certain things that cannot be held.' –Feng Chih.
When we think we are losing our grip, we have good reason to look up. Consider the moon suspended in the sky, how it continues to come and go, follows its natural law, and never really loses face. Consider the sun, the stars, the seasons, how they refuse to abandon us, to let go of their hold on our lives. And, come closer to home, we can marvel at the magic of small efficient things – the toaster and stove, the light in the room, the words in a good book that are permanent, faithful, and clear. We can consider how music, without saying a word, still speaks to us, and how a few friends, maybe miles away, continue to hang on to the strength of our small and faithful words. We can keep in mind that we are part of a complex and loving system, and our grip can never be lost."

Cranberry Bog

I missed the fall on the east coast. Desperately. And against the waves of sickness and sadness I drove through the traffic with Nick at my side to watch the cranberries be harvested in Massachusetts. The Ocean Spray commercials were tantalizing, and with everything in me I wanted to see those thousands of little red nuggets bobbing in their fields. After NY and Connecticut traffic, when we finally arrived the harvest was over. I wanted to cry, and did. I could barely find the strength to walk around the half-mile trail through the bog and woods and cranberry fields. The crowds were gone, the field emptied…no little red beauties for me to see. Despair and sickness once again welled up together inside me like old war buddies, and I felt myself losing myself all over again. I sat on the small, cold metal bleacher and tried not to be sick.
When my family finally pulled me to my feet and I leaned into Nicholas for support, the sun broke through the clouds and bathed my face in warmth. And in that spliced moment, I had a quick vision – quision, I like to call 'em – that pop into my heart and mind and then disappear…leaving a memory that has yet to happen and a taste of love grown bigger than it is now. With the man who was holding me up.
The quision showed me dirty little boys yelping and cavorting around a big back yard, while we sat grinning and basking by an outdoor fire. Totally, completely happy. Exhausted, but happy. Were we camping? Maybe. Might have just been a late summer night, with the boys wearing only shorts and dirt all OVER their bare chests, camouflaging them into whatever adventure they were having. It felt glorious – watching my unborn children…exist.
A scene change, and then Nicholas was carrying a baby in a carrier strapped to his chest. Hands on his hips, declaring how manly he was with a baby attached to him. I laughed and laughed…
Then finally, a glimpse of the biggest cranberry of all: our Love. I know without a doubt that our love today is strong and beautiful, yes – but it is merely a starting point from where it is going to go. I know that our love will grow…and experience by experience has the potential to expand beyond that which we could even begin to fathom. I felt a little of what it will be, today…what we will be.
And it made me stop in my tracks. Tears falling again. And feel the faith and hope in the future – as well as for today. Knowing that all of these things, these things we're going through today – are necessary to grow the love that will become bigger than both of us. Kind of like God's love, which is absolutely what He wishes for each of us. How I love him so, harvest-gone and all.

"'The seed of God is in us. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God seeds into God.'–Meister Eckhart.
Often we may feel critical and judgmental about our maturity or personality. When we read we have God seeds within us, we may find that difficult to believe. How can we have the God seeds within us that other people have? It may seem everyone else has more good within them than we have.
Just as we admire certain qualities about other people, so can we admire qualities about ourselves. We need to remember a good critic looks at both the good and the bad. A good critic doesn't pass judgment, but merely assembles the facts to allow others to make judgments.
The seeds that grow pear trees don't yield perfect trees. Some of the fruit is ripe and juicy, some is hard and dry, some fruit never matures. Yet the pear tree will be a good tree if it's tended with care. So it is with us. Every part of us may not be perfect, but with care we can make the best person possible from the God seed that began us.
I can be a healthy, bountiful person if I give myself plenty of care. I won't give up on me."
Night Light by Amy E. Dean
He Speaks For My Trees

Dear Lord, I come before you to ask a question: What story would you like me to tell? What story am I supposed to tell?…I feel the pull back to the writing of the book I'm supposed to write (from the story told through my website) seeping back through my thoughts and heart – knowing you want me to continue with it. But the work is massive; a tome well over a thousand pages long. I don't know what to cut out, what to edit, and what to keep. What to fill in…I don't know what story to tell.
What I do know is this: My story was the story of a young woman losing all to find her Source in the vastness of what was lost. She found You. She let you in. She faced herself.
Most of the posts seem imperative to the story, and it's hard to take out a bunch and then make sense of the one that comes much later without all the context. I don't know where to start or especially where to stop. I am scared to ask you the question. Maybe I am scared of the answer. Lord? What story do you want me to tell? It's bigger than myself. So knowing they're my details…I hand over this work to you. I hand it over because it's what it means that's more important. It's what shines through the story, so much bigger than the words – that matters. I give my will to you in this. I give you the whole project, the book, the novel, the memoir, the painful rebirth. It is yours to do with as you will.
What wilt thou have me do?…
Read it through. And without judgment or questioning, cross out what feels like it needs to be – through my spirit. Do not look back, just read on and simply cross out what I direct you to. And then, once that is done, you will re-read, and the story will reveal itself to you. You will not see it until then, and therefore this will be an act of faith, my sweet one. Faith is a big part of your life right now, and I need you to exercise it even in this – even in the significant portions of your story. It is an act of trust, that you have in me and in my great plan…knowing I know what is best for all.
Leaving out some of the pieces will not take away from the power, nor will they be forgotten – you will always remember, and so will we. What needs to be offered, through you, is something different than you can know, today. But I know. Trust in me, drink the faith water, and my Light will guide you. It will be plain – do not doubt, simply obey. Faith, is something that is practiced. You are practicing, especially today – trying to find that peace to help you through the end of a sickness that I promise is not meant to remain. It is on its way out – do not despair…trust your body. Trust me. Find the faith that you are clinging to so fiercely. I am at your bedside. I am within you, feeling all, I know it is hard. But the dawn cometh with Hope on her winds…get outside to breathe it. The deeper your faith, the more swiftly will this depart – and not regress.
Thank you, oh Lord God…my Brother. Thank you. I am trying…
So I will print out the manuscript, as is. And do as you say. I will exercise this fleeting, rusty faith, and hold on until the dawn. Forgive me, God…I feel weak.
And so I am here to make you strong. And carry you, until you walk again. As I always have done…as I always will. Follow the ideas that course through you, my beloved. They are of me. They come from me. And you are capable of all I ask, and all you have always wanted to be. Leave some room for me, when your days fill, and we will always grow the trees of your heart. We love you. We miss you. We are here, guarding and protecting, sustaining and healing, comforting and calming, emboldening and strengthening, loving and loving and loving.

An urban game that is similar to baseball or cricket that was popular among African Americans in Virginia's (Jackson Ward/Gilpin Court)area during the 60's and 70's. It is considered a baseball/stickball game played on the streets or in vacant lots. The game consisted of a pitcher, hitter and a back catcher and a lot of outfielders(as many as you can handle).Under hand pitching was allowed. After a succesful hit, the outfielder must retrieve the ball and advance toward the hitter at home plate. As soon as the bat touches the ground, the outfielder had to throw or roll the ball towards the bat. The ball must make contact with the bat/stick. If the ball is caught by the outfielder with out touching the ground then it is automatically your choice of hitting, pitching or back catching. The pitcher and the backcatcher often rotate if the pitcher strikes out the bat.

Let's start with the name: iPad. It makes me wonder if there are actually no women that work at Apple. Washington Post writer Monica Hesse wonders whether "boyfriends everywhere [will] refuse to purchase it unless they [can] simultaneously buy some really manly products, like shaving cream and batteries." Despite the name, Troy Wilverton of the San Jose Mercury News says the new $499 device is neat but advises waiting for version 2.0 to drop.

Coral Gables: Hide your filthy, low-class pickup
Beginning August 8, Coral Gables will once again enforce a ban on parking pickup trucks in driveways overnight, after the Florida Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal of pickup-truck crusader Lowell Kuvin, who started his fight after a $50 ticket in 2003.
Though $50 sounds stupid enough, tickets will now cost as much as $500 — that's no small parking ticket. Here are four things you can do for less than it costs to leave your F-150 in plain view in the Gables overnight:
1. Get high and roast an illegally slaughtered pig. An ounce of weed, enough to get all of your friends higher than Manute Bol in a hot-air balloon, costs around $350, based on estimates at priceofweed.com and not at all on personal experience. And you can buy that pig and have it killed in a back alley for 130 bucks.
2. Take an escort out for a two-hour gourmet dinner. Sasha, a "mouth-dropping Spaniard" who advertises with New Times, charges $150 an hour, and a six-course meal at Romeo's Café on Coral Way will set you back $90 a person.

3. Skip high school. Doral diploma mill InterAmerican Academy will sell you a certificate and transcript for $399. It's money well spent — Miami Dade College accepts Inter-American "graduates" without reservation.
4. Drive as fast as you possibly can through a school zone. The fine is capped at $250 but doubles if you're in a school zone. Yes, it costs the same to leave your pickup in your own driveway as it does to drive it at 100 mph past an elementary school.
So think twice before you park that truck of yours. If Coral Gables has its way, you might as well just get high and kill a pig, solicit a prostitute, drop out of high school, or blow back some kids in a crosswalk.

"I enjoyed reading about Tim and Faith, stars committed to marriage and family—a refreshing change"
S. Adams
Sacramento, Calif.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are adorable. I absolutely love them and admire their strong, passionate marriage and strong drive to be wonderful parents. Their daughters are very blessed. Tim and Faith are not only great country singers, they are great role models.
Anne Barry
Chicago, Ill.
Many heartfelt thanks for putting my "boyfriend" Tim on your cover. He is delicious. And his beautiful wife is so kind, I just can't be jealous of her—okay, maybe a little. Thanks for making this mom's heart flutter.
Melissa LaBare
Wappingers Falls, N.Y.
I felt like it was me and my husband giving that interview. I can relate with Faith when it comes to Tim not picking up after himself. And my husband always complains that I take too long to get ready. It's about time a celebrity couple gets recognition for enduring the hardships and struggles of marriage.
Jescha McIntosh
Lompoc, Calif.
I hadn't read more than half the article before I was already sick of Tim's all too frequent "guy" justification for being inconsiderate, lazy and selfish. If everyone stopped picking up the clothes he dropped on the floor, it's a safe bet his response would be to go out and buy more. Faith, I hope you take this opportunity to teach your girls what is unacceptable in a man.
Linda M. Burel
Sparks, Nev.
I couldn't believe PEOPLE again this week ran another blurb about Star Jones Reynolds and her overblown ego. Wake up, Star, and realize that most of us work for all we get and can't have extravagant weddings because we don't get freebies. Perhaps The View will be even better now that we don't have to listen to her constant interruptions.

I was disgusted to read about Lauren Cohen, the 59-year-old who had twins. It's so irresponsible. These poor children won't know their mother very long and will have to constantly correct people when they assume she is their grandmother. How selfish. She already had a 27-year-old and is apparently not happy with that. Shame on Lauren, her doctors who allowed this, and her family members who didn't try to stop her.

No Hollywood hookup has warmed my heart like that of Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy. These two hilarious souls go together like peanut butter and jelly. I couldn't be happier for them.

It's great to know that there are others out there who've dealt with bad bosses. When I told my boss I was pregnant and due in November, she stood up, screamed at me and actually accused me of doing it on purpose to ruin her Thanksgiving!

Readers came down on both sides about our story reporting the possible reasons why Mary Winkler, the Tennessee mother of three, shot and killed her minister husband as he lay asleep in bed. "She is not unique being in a marriage with financial stress or a critical husband," writes Candace Cummings of Columbus, Ohio. "She had plenty of choices: separation, counseling, even divorce." Others feel the situation isn't so black and white. "I was married to a minister, and when I divorced him people thought I was selfish," writes an anonymous reader from La Mesa, Calif. "Unless we actually live in another family's home, we really have no clue what goes on there."

Menace(s) to Society
During the Golden Age of Hollywood and until 1967, mainstream movie studios were banned by the Production Code from depicting taboo topics like drug addiction, explicit murder and venereal disease, or even showing explicit nudity. But in the 1930's and 1940's, films marketed as "educational" could and did fly under the radar, and three of the best known 'educational' propaganda exploitation films are: Sex Madness (1935), Reefer Madness (1936) and The Cocaine Fiends (1938).

"...we still can't tell whether we are all about to die or whether we are being sold a bill of goods."
'The stories about epidemics that are told in the American press—their plots and tropes—date to the 1920's, when modern research science, science journalism, and science fiction were born.' This is the story of how the media back then (January, 1930) helped fuel fears about a parrot-fever pandemic, and the subsequent public backlash. (Via) [more inside]
March of Time
From 1935 to 1951, Time Magazine bridged the gap between print & radio news reporting and the new visual medium of film, with March of Time: award-winning newsreel reports that were a combination of objective documentary, dramatized fiction and pro-American, anti-totalitarian propaganda. They "often tackled subjects and themes that audiences weren't used to seeing — foreign affairs, social trends, public-health issues — and did so with a combination of panache and subterfuge that today seems either absurd or visionary." (Previous two links have autoplaying video.) By 1937, the short films were being seen by as many as 26 million people every month and may have helped steer public opinion on numerous issues, including (eventually) America's entry to WWII. Video samples are available at Time.com, the March of Time Facebook page and the entire collection is available online, (free registration required) at HBO Archives. [more inside]

AUSTIN — At the urging of officials in Amarillo, Lubbock and other communities across the state, the Texas Legislature will try again to have more oversight on the so-called payday lenders, the financial institutions critics claim prey on people with poor credit or no bank accounts.
State Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Midland, filed a bill Thursday that would drastically reduce the interest rates payday lenders charge when making short-term loans. The rates currently can be as high as 500 percent annually if the borrower does not repay the money on time.
"Lender charges, and any valuable consideration received by the credit services organization, may not exceed the permissible interest and fee and other charges for a similar type of consumer loan," part of House Bill 2019 reads.
"The impact of the 500 percent APR charged on payday loans in Texas is overwhelming," Craddick said in a statement. "House Bill 2019 will bring relief to borrowers by ensuring consumer lenders are all operating under the same rates and fees. The Legislature cannot stand back any longer while these businesses take advantage of people in need."
Craddick, who was speaker of the Texas House from 2003 through 2009, filed a similar bill in the 2011 session but was left pending in the chamber's Pensions, Investments and Financial Services Committee.
In the 2011 session the lawmakers heard stories about short-term borrowers who could not repay their loans on time and ended up paying three or four times the amount they borrowed — mainly because of the high interest rates and fees.
An industry spokeswoman said though they had not read HB 2019, since the 2003 session — based on testimony and empirical evidence the lawmakers have seen — they have not seen the industry negatively, like critics do.
"The vast majority of our borrowers, 90 percent of our borrowers, pay on time," said Julie Hillrichs of Consumer Service Alliance of Texas, the trade association that represents short-term lenders.
Rep. Four Price, R-
Amarillo, said he is aware similar proposals failed two years ago, but the Legislature might take a closer look at Craddick's bill or to similar proposals in this year's session.
"It is an issue that merits a lot of analysis," Price said. "I do think it is a timely topic for review and it will certainly get a lot of attention. In my office we take very seriously those cities' resolutions because there are many documented cases of abuse."
Price was referring to testimony in public hearings at legislative committees and about resolutions like the one the Amarillo City Commission unanimously approved last week and a similar resolution the Lubbock City Council passed two years ago.
The Amarillo City Commission resolution calls on the Legislature and Congress to regulate such businesses.
The first paragraph of the two-page resolution reads, "The City of Amarillo is deeply concerned about the harmful effects of payday and auto title lending practices in our community, where at least 25 of these loan businesses in our community promise 'easy credit' but only at damaging annual percentage rates upwards of 500 percent and loan terms that often put people into 'rolling' refinanced debt."
Amarillo Mayor Paul Harpole said he and his colleagues hope the Legislature puts the brakes on payday lenders because "it is an unregulated industry."
Lubbock City Councilman Todd Klein, the author of a similar resolution two years ago, could not be reached for comment Thursday.
However, City Councilman Victor Hernandez said he also is hoping the state will begin more oversight of the payday lending industry.
"From my perspective, we need more regulation of this industry because it traps people, especially the most financially vulnerable, into a cycle of debt they have a hard time getting out of," Hernandez said.
Though during the last two years Austin, Dallas, El Paso and San Antonio have passed ordinances that tightly restrict the payday lenders, Harpole, Hernandez and consumer advocates think a statewide law is needed.
"Over 35,000 Texans lost their cars to auto title lenders in 2012," said Ann Baddour, senior policy analyst at Texas Appleseed, an organization that describes itself as a promoter of social and economic justice for all Texans.
"These businesses are draining our community resources," Baddour said.

Intel Atom Platform: Smaller, More Energy-Efficient
Intel's reworked Atom platform enhances netbooks and Internet devices with integrated graphics and memory controller.
With its usual focus on optimization, the chip vendor now provides the Atom 45-nanometer processor, with minimal energy consumption and better performance. Intel claims a 20% reduction in power consumption over Atom's predecessor. Integrated graphics and memory management for the first time in a CPU do the rest and allow for a smaller form factor. Said differently, the memory controller eliminates one of three chips, with only the CPU and chipset remaining. Intel claims this translates to a 60% smaller footprint for netbooks and mobile Internet devices.
The new platform for netbooks consists of the N450 processor and the low-power NM10 Express chipset. Vendors building entry-level desktops have recourse to the Atom D410 or dual-core D510 processor using the same chipset.
The most energy-efficient of the three, the N450, provides a core with 512 KBytes L2 cache. Intel gives a benchmark for power consumption of a thermal design power (TDP) of 7 watts for the total package including chipset. The single-core D410 also provides the 512-KByte L2 cache, with a 12-watt TDP. The dual-processor D510 has 1 MByte L2 cache with a 15-watt TDP. All chips have the 1.66-GHz processor frequency in common. Prices should be available in January. Further details on the new chip microarchitecture are on Intel's technology webpage.

The New York Times humorless, bean-counting movie critics Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott surveyed the fall film season under this pair of judgmental headlines: "Hollywood, Separate and Unequal – The history of American film is the history of American racism." Dargis and Scott have a regular tag-team movie-ruining-gig: In March they focused their judgmental Oscar coverage on racism and reveled in "Watching a White Academy Squirm." In the summer of 2015 they indulged in joyless feminist politics. Dargis, a movie critic supposedly concerned about aesthetics over all, is even prepared to deny artistic achievement in the name of racial and gender bean-counting. The text box is ominous: "Insisting on the sanctity of art can just be another way of shutting our eyes and denying ugly systemic realities."
Appearing on Tuesday's NBC Today, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt gushed over playing NSA leaker Edward Snowden in a new movie and even compared the fugitive former intelligence analyst to a civil rights icon: "...he did break the law and he admits that he broke the law, but then there's examples of people who break the law who aren't necessarily doing the wrong thing. Like one example I thought of is Rosa Parks."
Remember #OscarsSoWhite? Apparently, they still are. The Oscars' racial makeup controversy lives on as the Academy continues its valiant quest for more racial diversity while ignoring any sort of ideological diversity. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on September 10, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, discussed the Academy's A2020 plan. Revealed in 2015, A2020 is "a five-year plan to study practices at the Academy with the aim of improving the diversity of its own staff and governance while also bringing new voices into the organization. It is also intended to encourage and to push the industry to examine its hiring practices and to begin to make changes." And by "new voices," they mean new skin colors.
During an interview with actress Tika Sumpter in 9 a.m. ET hour of Monday's NBC Today about her role in a new biopic about the first date of Barack and Michelle Obama, co-host Al Roker eagerly wondered if the First Couple had seen the movie yet: "Have you heard at all from the Obamas?" Sumpter replied: "We haven't, not yet. I mean, I know they know about it."
The Washington Post is unsurprisingly in love with the new Obama-puffing film about Barack and Michelle's first date. Movie critic Ann Hornaday won the prize for the biggest gush, comparing Obama to young Abe Lincoln.
Shock! Hollywood is filled with hyprocrites and less-than-thoughtful lefties. But some take the cake. Thanks to a site called the Internet Firearms Database, here are a few big-mough gun-grabbers, and some of their favorite guns to grab on-set.
The PC victimhood adventure that is the Ghostbusters 2016 reboot is estimated to have a staggering 70 million dollars in losses after hitting theaters with a dull thud this Summer. Sony, the movie's producer, is still "proud," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
After the first trailers for the new fantasy, action adventure "The Great Wall" came out, it was only a matter of time before the complaints ensued. The lead actor in this Chinese blow-'em-up film is a white guy, Matt Damon.
Is media bias just smart marketing? Yes, suggests Taibbi, who claims it's "irrelevant" that "most individual reporters" are liberals given that their profit-driven, audience-conscious corporate overlords keep them on a short leash. "Whatever their personal leanings, influential reporters mostly work in nihilistic corporations, to whom the news is a non-ideological commodity, to be sold the same way we hawk cheeseburgers or Marlboro Lights," argued Taibbi in a July 22 article. "Wars, scandals and racial conflicts sell, while poverty and inequality do not. So reporters chase one and not the other. It's just business."
The feminists seem to think that if they can just call enough Americans "misogynists" and "sexists," their all-female Ghostbusters reboot will be successful. Since that hasn't worked yet, Washington Post columnist Kristen Page-Kirby has a new insult to try out. In her review of the film, she wrote that "'Ghostbusters' is pretty funny and anyone who says otherwise is a virgin loser who lives in his mom's basement."
Hollywood's agenda-pushing is no secret. In fact, producers and actors don't even attempt to deny it. In interviews conducted by Ben Shapiro, executive producer Leonard Goldberg stated that Hollywood liberalism is "100 percent dominant, and anyone who denies it is kidding, or not telling the truth." Even if everyone denied it, you'd only have to watch a handful of movies to catch the ideological drift. So here's the handful that MRC Culture recommends – or, doesn't – a list of some of the worst offenders. It was hard to choose, and we know there are many more liberal films out there, so take a look and leave a comment with movies your top picks.
In the upcoming movie, Imperium, Daniel Radcliffe plays an FBI agent infiltrating a neo-Nazi sect. That should be a movie everyone can get on board with: the freedom-loving American versus the oppressive Nazis. Think again.

asked this on June 28, 2012, 08:48
Installing on Windows 7 64bit Machine and I double click and it asks if I want to install, I do and then nothing happens. I have removed the old version and rebooted, I have run CCleaner and cleaned files and registry. I have run the .exe as a user and admin, same issue, won't install. VER 184.108.40.206.exe of the Windows version.
Same problem.....! What's wrong.....???
Anyone else, now I am stuck w/o this product. Luckily I have Teamviewer7. I may have to remove and stop recommending Splashtop as we can't even get a reply from support.
Come on Splashtop another day and your product won't install? You can't even reply! You have not replied to the support ticket. Why did you screw up a product that worked.
The link you gave does NOT address this issue. The issue is that it won't install. I said originally I have downloaded several files and tried to install on Win 7 64 machines. You double click, it asks to install and than nothing happens, no install, no directory created, no icons, nothing. Different files nothing, it won't install. Run as admin, won't install, download new one, won't install, reboot machine, won't install. It won't install.
Thank you Konstantinos, appreciate the support from you at least, if we can't get it from Splashtop. Maybe if we take this to Mashable or iMore we can get some public attention outside this forum. Once some press hits, they may jump into gear and get this fixed.
We are using a version that would install on an XP machine but not a Win 7 so we know the install file is good. If there is a reason why your software won't install on a Win 7 64 Bit running Windows Ultimate than you have bigger issues. You know apple won't give us a refund w/o your approval, so I need an email from you or a statement from your company that you are authorizing a refund for those who cannot install your product. Why you did not TEST this on all the STANDARD Window's basic installs is beyond my imagination.
Yes, they said they can't test all Windows install, so the product is for those who are lucky enough to have the exact version they have tested on and that does work and the rest of us can @#$! off.
I had it installed on 7 devices with 5 difference licenses plus on 5 desktops, now I am out over $100 plus time and training. I have to start over with something that works. We have simple basic Win 7 ultimate 64bit computers, and it won't install. Just double click and get NOTHING.
Here is what they said to do, however had no effect the failed installation. My answers are after >>>>
1. Would you check if there exist C:\Program Files (x86)\Splashtop ?
2. Make sure Turn UAC settings to never notify, Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> User Accounts -> Change User Account Control settings -> Never notify.
3. Start Windows Task Manager to see if "SRServer.exe" "SRService.exe" exist.
>>> Does Not
4. Try to use IE browser or other browser to download Windows Streamer version 18.104.22.168
>>> Downloaded a few times, and again now.
5. Remove related installation file at C:\Users\{your user name}\AppData\Local\ {BD52D38F-4F0D-4325-BB9E-xxxxxxxxxx} and install again
>>> It is not there...
Konstantinos, they got it to work for me, did they give you the same solution? Craig S.
Yes, they did come though, the combo of the two files in the install directory worked for me. After everything they finally resolved the install issue for us.
So Craig, Konstantinos, what was this "solution" of theirs. They must have of corresponded with you directly cause I dont see the solution on this thread. By the look of it your step by step instructions above were unsuccessful Craig. I of course, am have the same issue you two were having. What two files do you need in the install directory?
Brandon, they sent a 2nd zip file with two files inside, one to ride next to the install file and it worked. Contact them for a copy of that file. There has been another upgrade, so that one may have fixed it too, not sure.
Hi all,
If you can't install Streamer v22.214.171.124 on your Windows, This is a possible workaround to install it with this special build.
If it still can't solve the problem, please do us a favor to run another special build that will generate 4 log files, then attach them here for our engineering to debug.
Where to download this file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/80583317/ST_STRS00_v188.8.131.52_with_log.exe
Where to find those 4 log files?
c:\windows\temp\ (or D: drive where user installed his Windows)
How to use it?
Download to local, double click to execute it. (no more parameters)
My install hangs when executing the msi piece. Here are the four files.
@Donald Leman,
Much appreciated for your log.
What's the OS you used? XP? SP1?
@Donald Leman,
From your log, we found there are some files of Streamer still left in your Windows, please try these steps to see if help:
1.use our CleanUpInstall tool to clean your environment
2.restart Windows
3.re-install Streamer
Latest version:
Thanks Jaff, but the solution suggested didn't help. It's the same issue, it seems to unpack everything but then hangs at the "preparing to install" message. If I click on the dialog box it says "not responding" and then I have to end the program to get out.
@Donald Leman,
Have you read our FAQ about installation fail?
What's the OS you installed? XP 32bit SP2?
Here I extract some major points for your reference, esp. Kspersky and Airfoil if you have installed them.
One of our users informed us that he solved the installation error-1719 (on Win7 64-bits) by exiting out of the Comodo anti-virus application. It has a built in "sandbox," which may be the cause. Click here to view more detailed info about setting up.
Have a solution:
A bunch of old and new installers didn't work for me as well on win7 64bit
The solution I found. run the streamer in compatibilty mode:
1. save the installer
2. right click on the installer file->Properties->Compatibilty
3. check the checkbox "Run this program in compatibilty mode for:"
4. choose in the list "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)", [thats what I choosed and it worked, guess other modes will work too]
5. click ok
6. run it.
I test it few times and the streamer works. don't know about any side effects by now.
I've tried to install the newest streamer program (220.127.116.11) on my windows 7 64-bit machine, and when I click "run" on the installer program, the circle goes around for a second, and then nothing happens. I've tried it on my other windows 7 laptop, same thing. I've tried it using compatibility mode with windows xp SP3, SP2, run as administrator, etc. Nothing happens. I've now purchased a 10 dollar app that I can't use. How is it possible to release a streaming program that doesn't install on windows 7? How do I get it to install?
Yep.... Same here, just I'm running a 32-Bit Vista Home Premium. I'm trying the free versions to see if this'll be a good option, but I get the identical situation - thinking cursor for about 2sec, then nothing; no running applications in memory, no services in memory either. I've tried restarts, compatibility modes and every other thing I can think of. Reading this forum doesn't really paint a great first impression either.
Team viewer worked first time, why can't this?
Any assistance will be appreciated!
Any one help please
When i open up streamer
Nothing shows up
Just the base of the program
As seen in the photo attached
Please help
Having the exact same problem as Enmarch. Would try using the other build they offered above, but it's a dropbox 404 error now :\ Running a win 7 64-bit machine, tried disabling Anti-virus, checked for the temp files, tried compatibility mode, and tried both the AMD installer and the normal one, still nothing :(
Wish I could use this program, anyone have any alternatives? Is Teamviewer any good?
@Enmarch, Weregirl.Jess & J.Macdonald,
Have you tried the solution at https://support-splashtoppersonal.splashtop.com/entries/21507431 ? And to use clean up tool before installing usually solves the issue.
Please help to grab logs at
I have spent all night on this after updating from Windows XP 32 bit to Win XP 64bit. I have read countless threads and tried countless steps, but my conclusion is simple: FUCK SPLASHTOP
i download it, and then it comes up with a permission page, then bang. nothing happens. i am so annoyed with this program and have had no help at all
We have replied your ticket to get logs and also a workaround provided, please help to check the ticket.
The installation works on XP 32 and 64, but it will need XP SP3 to log in your Splashtop Account at Streamer.

City of Love
The French language is fraught with vowels, with multiples of "i," "e" and "o" all packed together like sardines in one word. "There are certainly lots more than in the English language," concedes Jeremy Sortore. This may seem like a minor detail to you and me, but it's crucial for a singer like Sortore, whose chief concern is projecting a delicate balance of enunciation and volume. The 27-year-old classically trained baritone has appeared in numerous musicals and operas and accompanied various symphonies. Tonight he'll lend his euphonic timbre to Love Letter From Paris, a collection of classical and popular songs on the subject of l'amour, sung in English and French with English supertitles.
The program starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 South Allison Parkway. Get tickets, $16, at 303-987-7845 or http://recreation-lakewood.org/tickets/index.asp.

Resveratrol, one major polyphenol component in red wine, has been proved to possess multifunctions like anti-cancer, anti-mutagenesis and cardioprotection. The functional mechanisms of resveratrol include acting as free radical scavenger and as modulator of many key enzymes in cell life, such as cyclooxygenase (COX-1, COX-2), lipoxygenase, iNOS, protein kinase C (PKC), protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), ribonucleotide reductase, and P450. Regulation on the activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) may explain its multifunctions in part.

'Jack the Giant Slayer' lacks magic
Good things come in small packages, but terrible films often come in gigantic ones.
Like "Jack the Giant Slayer," an unrelentingly ugly 3-D fantasy movie starring personality-less computer-generated ogres, designed by the same studio that brought us "Harry Potter's" misshapen trolls and hideous Cro-Magnon centaurs. »Read Full Article
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article

While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Why Do Reptiles Need Lighting?
For reptiles, lighting is a matter of life or death. Reptiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded) and depend on outside temperatures to regulate the temperature inside of their bodies. Reptiles instinctually move to where there is more sun when they are cold, known as basking, and move into the shade when the temperature becomes too hot. As a result, reptile owners must provide a
temperature gradient
so that the reptile can choose the appropriate temperature it needs.
Lighting should be adjusted to a certain temperature depending on what kind of reptile you own. Processes like digestion are only efficient at the right body temperature for the animal. If the reptile receives insufficient temperatures, it will become sluggish and bodily functions such as digestion will be impossible to accomplish.
How Do I Make a Temperature Gradient?
In most circumstances, a basking light should be placed at only one end of the tank or terrarium, leaving the other portion in shade. This gives the reptile the option of basking to get warm, or cooling off in the shade as it naturally would in the wild. For reptiles that like to hide, a shelter should be provided in both the warmer and cooler parts of its environment. This way, when it feels the urge to hide, it wont have to compromise staying warm for the feeling of protection. For reptiles that are arboreal (climbers), the sufficient temperature should be created where the animal likes to climb as well as in its regular basking spot.
How Do I know If the Temperature is Correct?
After you find out what kind of temperatures your reptile requires, the best thing you can do is buy some
Place one in different areas of your reptiles cage or terrarium and adjust the temperature and lighting accordingly.
What About Nightime?
For most reptiles, a drop of temperature at night is perfectly normal. You may want to maintain a minimum temperature when it gets cold. If your reptile is sleeping, it does not require the warm temperatures it receives during the day because it is not using any energy. For nocturnal reptiles who are more energetic at nighttime, you may want to use a
Night Light Bulb,
Infrared Heat Lamp.
What Kind of Heat Should I Use?
1. Overhead heating:
more naturally replicates a reptile basking in the sun.
Basking lights, spotlights, incandescent lamps:
These represent a simple and effective way to provide heat as well as day time light. They come in a variety of wattages and some experimentation may be necessary to find the right combination of distance and power to provide the right temperature.
Repti Basking Spot Lamp
is perfect for use with high heat basking reptiles, such as tropical and desert species. White bulbs can't be used 24 hours a day, though (your reptile needs some time in the dark too), so a dim colored bulb can be used at night. Bulbs made specifically for reptiles are a good choice, but any red, blue or green bulb that is opaque or frosted will do, such as the
Daylight Blue Reptile Bulb (40 watt.)
Other wattages are available also. Stay away from the clear colored bulbs as they are too bright. This type of heat is a nice choice since it provides a baking spot for your pet. To view all of your reptile lighting choices, check out our
Lighting Products
2. Under tank heating:
A good option to supplement the heat provided.
Under tank Heaters:
Special tank heaters can be purchased for reptiles such as the
Reptitherm Under Tank Heaters.
These under tank heat sources are a good choice for supplementing heat provided by a basking light, or providing heat at night.
3. Heat source in the cage:
When using a heat source inside the cage, make sure they are shielded to prevent direct contact between the reptile and the heat source to prevent burns. The
REPTICARE Rock Heaters
insure no hot spots!
Ceramic heating elements:
These screw into a socket much light a bulb, but do not emit any light. They produce a lot of heat and must be used only in a ceramic socket rated for the element or there is a risk of overheating and fire.
REPTICARE Ceramic Heat Emitters
have a flat faced design (standard in the ceramic heat industry) is more efficient than conical designs in that it leaves less heat inside the emitter which will ultimately carbonize the element.
The Importance of UV Lighting
Ultraviolet light (UV) is important in the production of
Vitamin D3
, which is necessary for calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin with exposure to UV light (from sunlight). While vitamin D3 can be supplemented in the diet, it appears some reptiles, such as iguanas, make better use of vitamin D3 produced within their bodies than that provided in vitamin supplements. Sunlight is an impractical source of UV for most owners (UV light is blocked by glass, so exposure through windows is not a viable option). UV can be provided by special light bulbs.
UV light is made up of UVA, UVB, and UVC wave lengths. UVC is harmful, and UVA and UVB is what the reptiles need. The most crucial consideration is the amount of UVB produced, and this is where the selection of an appropriate bulb is necessary.
Reptisun 5.0 UVB (24 inch)
contains the highest amounts of both UVB and UVA wavelengths (according to an independent laboratory spectral analysis.) Also available in other sizes. Check out our
Lighting Products
For iguanas, there is also the
Iguana Light 5.0 UVB (24 inch)
specially designed for providing iguanas with the adequate amount of UV light.
Over time, the production of UVB diminishes, and UVB bulbs should be replaced every
9-12 months.
For those species that require a UVB producing light, another source of light is generally required, as either a source of bright white light and/or heat. When placing the various heating and lighting elements, they need to work together. Place the UV lights and the basking light at the same side of the enclosure, or the reptile might spend its time basking and be to far away from the UVB lamp to reap its benefits.

The Cal Golden Bears haven't provided much entertainment this season. Heading in to Saturday's contest against Arizona, the Bears had won jsut one game - against FCS-level Portland State - and were allowing an average of 44ppg.
While the end result on Saturday against Arizona was the same, a 33-28 loss, it did include one of, if not the best catch of the entire college football season.

I LOVE these jeans. They're a 1/2 too long in the regular inseam but know that's my problem because so many women wear heels and I rarely do. So when I'm wearing medium to high heeled shoes, the pants are perfect but if I'm wearing casual flats, the hem scrapes along the ground. IF ONLY the inseam were a teensy bit shorter, they'd be perfect.

The same excellent quality. My comment is a style issue: I wish you had kept the "Sarah" bootcut option. I do not like the narrower style. Am ordering a size up and having it tailored to suit, but.....not sure it will work and not happy about it. I've been wearing NYDJ "Sarah" jeans forever and loved them.

I love NYDJs. I've tried other brands, but continually go back to NYDJs. I have learned to definitely buy them tight because they stretch out and will get way too baggy if you don't. Definitely DO NOT put in the dryer. Whatever kind of spandex that is in this product gets damaged very easily by heat.....even if it's delicate.

Why change perfection?
By Coriander

I was disappointed by the Barbara modern bootcut jeans. The Sara bootcut jeans were perfection in every way: comfortable, flattering, perfect fit (long, since I rarely wear heels that are more than 2", but that's not a problem). The Barbara jeans are tight below the butt and emphasize the hips and butt in an unflattering way. The legs are narrower, also not flattering for a curvy figure. So disappointing, no more Sara bootcut jeans. I would not recommend these.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

US: Heinz "aggressively" eyeing M&A in emerging markets
By Michelle Russell | 21 November 2012
Heinz said it is focused on introducing new middle-class consumers in the emerging markets to its ketchup and core soy sauce brands
US food group Heinz has said it is "aggressively" looking at M&A opportunities in emerging markets.
Heinz yesterday (20 November) booked an increase in first-half profits, which it said was fuelled by "dynamic growth" in emerging markets. The region delivered a 13.2% increase in sales on an organic basis. Those markets account for 23% of total sales, Heinz said.
Following recent deals in Brazil and China, the company said it is "aggressively evaluating" both organic and M&A growth initiatives in these markets.
"We have so many active M&A initiatives in the emerging markets, we literally had a meeting last week to decide how we're going to put them in priority," chairman, president and CEO William Johnson told analysts on the firm's earnings call yesterday. "We have a number of very close-in initiatives underway in [Brazil, India and China] ... as well as other markets where I think we need to improve our footprint.
"For perspective, I just came back from a 15-day around-the-world trip where I was in various parts of Asia and various parts of Europe, and we are aggressively looking at and aggressively in the process of M&A activity."
Johnson also outlined Heinz's innovation plans for emerging markets. The company increased group marketing spend by 10% this year to around $70m. The CEO said it has invested in "more boots on the ground" in emerging markets this year and sees this as a priority before putting money into "specific marketing".
"The boots on the ground is giving us a very solid tangible return in all these markets. I'd like to see us do a little bit more in Indonesia and maybe a little bit more in India. And then we have a lot of other initiatives in place."
Johnson said Heinz is focused on introducing new middle-class consumers in emerging markets to its ketchup and core soy sauce brands.
In China, Heinz is nearing completion of its Shanghai facility, which it says will increase its soy sauce bottling capacity in the country by nearly two-thirds. The company has also started manufacturing Heinz tomato paste in Brazil and said it will begin producing ketchup locally next month in order to accelerate its distribution and availability.
The company has also launched a pouch line of sauces in Mexico with a second line due to be rolled out "very shortly", Johnson said. He added: "We have a new pouch line going into Brazil. We're going to have a second one of those coming very shortly. We're starting to produce ketchup in Brazil in the next 30 or 40 days.
"There's a significant amount of new product activity in the second half of the year and a significant response to the marketing spending that we've initiated in the first half the year, much of which really didn't begin until the second quarter and you'll see a follow-through in the third quarter."

Corporate Personal Training
Corporate personal training is important for many reasons. Healthy and active employees can produce more work than people that are not in shape. It is always a good idea that corporations invest in their employees because they produce the bottom line, which carries the company on to profits.
Personal Training Options For Corporations
There are a number of ways that corporations can invest in their employees' health and fitness needs. They can open a gym on the premises or offer discounted or free rates at a gym nearby.
There are other ways that they can get their employees interested in health and fitness too. They can offer classes that will give the employees a lot of great information about caring about themselves.
Some Corporations Put In A Track For People To Walk Or Run On
In some corporations, they install a track for employees that wish to walk or run on it. This is especially good for when an employee wants to take a break or if they want to stay after work later and exercise. The benefits are fantastic because employees generally take advantage of this option when it is right on the work premises.
Participating in Running Events
A great way to get fit that can also encourage team bonding is taking part in fun runs. Sydney has many of these fun runs, the most popular and famous is the city to surf run that takes place every August.

Training with a fully qualified personal trainer is vital before performing your strenuous exercises.
Warm ups and stretching comes before starting the rigorous training.It is a very common question asked whether you perform stretches before starting with your exercises or you do a dynamic warm up and then following the stretching exercises after that.
For this reason the fitness training with fully certified trainers is extremely important.
If you're not sure where to find a personal trainer with the correct qualifications, check out http://www.ptcertifications.com/.
Why is a dynamic warm up necessary?
Dynamic warm up is quite necessary as it helps raising the body temperature. Doing that also helps in increasing the heart rate which also increases to muscles, ligaments and tendons.
A dynamic warm up session helps your mind to focus on the upcoming strenuous and rigorous exercises. It also reduces injuries or the risk of having injuries and also enhances your performance. Dynamic warm ups are a must even before performing yoga. Dynamic warm ups are a major part of fitness training.
Stretching is done after exercises or at the end of warm ups, this is because when you perform stretching it is mandatory for your muscles to be warm. Stretching works the best when your muscles are warm and it also is a great way to bring your body temperature down. Stretching is also a relaxation exercise which is performed before wrapping up for the day.

I thought Metal Gear Solid was the greatest game of all time until I played it again, and it had obviously become horribly outdated. I can recognize when things have a timeless appeal and when they don't and many of the games from SNES era are still tons of fun to play today. I'm discovering games that I used to enjoy that I can no longer enjoy and at the same time many that I know I will always enjoy.
People like you put too much stock in nostalgia and can't accept that some people aren't going to enjoy the same things as you. For example, the adventure gaming genre has simpler puzzles than they used to have and that's because it appeals to a wide audience. I think that makes the genre worse but many people will like that better.
I guess we are just all different because I can replay MGS this second and I still find it amazing and fun to play, same with symphony of the night and super mario world, mega man x, etc. in fact I played them so much throughout the years im bored of them.

Different strokes for different folks.
I don't view every generation of consoles as being "better" than the previous just different or there to replace previous games, that isn't how life works.
New movies, or literature, aren't all magically better because they're in a new format with extra features or more relevant with the pop culture references.
Plenty of experiences the PS3 doesn't offer game wise that my SNES still does, and it works both ways.
Plenty of games I can't experience on the SNES than the PS3.
I still prefer my SNES over my PS3 as a gaming system. I have far more games that I still go back and play compared to my PS3 collection.
I understand why people may prefer the PS3 over the SNES, even those like me who lived a good bit before the SNES, but I personally don't feel that way.
To each their own or some such thing.
If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.

My Darksiders II Review:
Considering I still having my snes and i never owned a PS3 (but played few games on it)
PS3 > Snes by a huge margin.
This comparisson is just retarded.

That makes no sense.

I still play my SNES and I enjoy it, but it's been 20 years. The games are fun and very nostalgic, but they're just...outdated. I love Super Mario RPG, but I definitely couldn't say that I live it more than Uncharted or Infamous

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

So, while re-playing Pokemon Black.... I noticed the over-abundance of grass pokemon... And the complete lack of fire pokemon. It's not just black and white, but in previous games as well... this bothers me, I don't know why. I love grass pokemon, but it doesn't make for strong team building....I understand that some of them are multi-type which makes it a little bit easier, but something about it just annoys me. Your thoughts?
