|Years active
Jack Murdock (28 October 1922 – 27 April 2001) was an American actor. He appeared in 50 films between 1973 and 1998. He was born in Urbana, Ohio.
Murdock had some television roles in St. Louis, Missouri during the 1960s. One memorable role was as Kronos, the host of the television show Zone 2 on KTVI from August 1965 to August 1966. The show was named Zone 2 because KTVI-TV (the local ABC affiliate at the time and currently a Fox affiliate) broadcast on Channel 2 and probably as a play on The Twilight Zone as it aired low-budget science fiction and horror movies. It aired at 3:30 pm–5:30 pm for the benefit of school-age kids. The movies shown were severely edited to fit into the time slot, to make room for commercials, and to allow for Kronos to introduce each segment.
Murdock appeared in Big Top Pee-wee with New York City natives Albert Henderson and David Byrd. He was also familiar to St. Louis television viewers as the personification of "Grandpa Pidgeon" on commercials for the GrandPa's chain (also known as Grandpa Pidgeon's) of 15 discount retail stores in the St. Louis area and nearby Illinois and Missouri locations.
He hosted the local KTVI-TV presentation of Adventures of Superman in 1962, appearing as Mr. Willoughby on a program called Treehouse Time. Mr. Willoughby lived in a treehouse and introduced Superman and a cartoon from there. The show was 45 minutes long, leaving 15 minutes for local news at the head of the hour. He died in Burbank, California at age seventy-eight.

Skip to comments.NBC2 Investigates: Voter fraud
Posted on 02/03/2012 11:54:50 AM PST by RonF
Two elections supervisors are taking action after an NBC2 investigation uncovers flawed record keeping and human error allowing people who are not citizens of the United States to vote.
No one knows how widespread this problem is, because county election supervisors have no way to track non-citizens who live here.
So NBC2 did something election officials never thought to do, and found them on our own.
"I vote every year," Hinako Dennett told NBC2.
The Cape Coral resident is not a US citizen, yet she's registered to vote.
NBC2 found Dennett after reviewing her jury excusal form. She told the Clerk of Court she couldn't serve as a juror because she wasn't a U.S. citizen.
We found her name, and nearly a hundred others like her, in the database of Florida registered voters.
(Excerpt) Read more at nbc-2.com ...
Well, now someone's looked. And it turns out vote fraud isn't hard to find.
And these were just the ones who were foolish enough to both register to vote claiming they were U.S. citizens or had someone mis-appropriate their identity. How many are there that have simply never been summoned to serve on a jury, blew off the summons or told the court that they were citizens? I've answered a jury summons and I don't recall anyone asking for my passport.
There has to be an aggressive prosecution of these offenses but State Attorneys are elected officials in Florida
No surprise here. I'd bet a million illegals vote every election. Wait till November, then you will have 12 million of them trying to vote in Kaliforniastan.
I will bet it's five times that number....
And boat loads of the Dead vote too! That's why the Democrats oppose voter ID laws so the Dead and Illegals can vote.
Note this is no PMSNBC. NBC2 will probably be dis-affiliated by NBC soon.
Why even have voting? Why have elections?
It's a farce. The enemy has taken over.
It seems to me that a good project for the Republican party of the Tea Party or similar would be to go through voter rolls and give "tips" to the Registrar of Voters, as per this article.
Voter rolls are public information. I'm not willing to organize it, but I'm willing to help with it if it happens.
I started losing my mental footing down this very slope a couple of days ago.
How soon will NBC2 have a sudden staff turnover? We can't have reporters actually investigating fraud on the left. They are only supposed to read the talking points...
I'd do it too! I love doing research like that and Lord knows, since being laid off, I certainly have the time.....at least until I go back to school. I'm in Arizona, so I'll try to find out what the procedure is for doing something like this.
Mrs. Prince of Space
Brilliant approach to use jury opt outs of noncitizens crosschecked against voter rolls.
In addittion to illegals who just outright cheat, local democrats regster people like this without their knowledge and cast absentee ballots in their names.
Everyone who is familiar with local voting systems knows this is taking place but laws are intentionally written to make it difficult to identify fraudulent voting.
Usually there is no local money available to purge the records but when republicans do try to clean it up democrats take them to court.
I'm still laughing about voting rolls in New Orleans. Many more people were said to have died in Katrina than could be found. I'm pretty sure they really were dead, though. They have been dead for decades, just kept on the voter rolls. Ah, New Orleans—where the dead vote and collect government payments.
And nobody even fired a shot.
and they never will... this is the generation of the American Idol, Wii, and smart phones. Most of them don't even have a clue who speaker of the house is or the vice president or what their duties are. We let it get 2 far out of control, there is no turning back the clock. I truly believe eventually, maybe not in our lifetime, there will be another civil war between the liberals and the conservatives. The hatred is too great, the divide too wide. There is no way they can peacefully co-exist for long.
America is America because of her values, her spectacular Constitution and what she stands for. Without any of those things, sadly, America is just a piece of real estate.
We need to vote everyone in DC out and Constitution in hand, start over. The problem is, about 1/3 of the population thinks the Constitution is an old, musty, out of date piece of garbage.
Oh no doubt it is. If Florida didn't require voter ID, I could vote for both of my deceased parents. I could probably still do it if so inclined. It's not hard to get a fake ID and the community organizer in chief knows exactly how to fake documents. He's done it all his life.
" . . ., with liberty and justice for all!"
Oh, yeah! You bet!!!!
There will be so much illegal voting this time that all forecasting punditry will be for naught.
But yet I hope I am mistaken about that, hopeful that state and local election officials will come awake and take decisive protective measures.
So they even named a non-citizen who "votes every year" and isn't scared to admit it.
That says a lot.
And whom, pray, tell, is surprised by this revelation?????
My initial thought is a sarcasm-filled "Gee, this happened in Lee County...?" If you know anything about Lee County, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
But I'm sure this is happening in more counties and in more states than we can possibly believe.
These people "will be removed from registration rolls" ? They need to be PROSECUTED FOR PERJURY very publicly so other non-citizens will see the penalty and stop voting illegally.
The jury excuse form includes a signature and so does the voter registration form. It should be a quick comparison to see who was registered without their knowledge.
The ones where the sigs match should be prosecuted for perjury with lots of news coverage. They pose a greater danger to the nation than public drunkeness or brawling and the police and courts spend the money to prosecute those.
You've identified the Democrap base!
So now noncitizens know not to use that as an excuse for getting out of jury service. Can't we keep our mouths shut about anything? We could have caught a lot of people with this method, but noooooooo . . . Somebody always has to get credit and see their name in print.
This is a minimum of necessary steps that a new DC administration should do. Yet I do not believe they will.Perhaps America has reached the end of the road and the Lord Jesus Christ has removed his once gracious blessing from a once Christian oriented people who now blaspheme His ways and His moral and civil laws. But most do not believe the truth, they change it into a lie.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, but sin is a reproach to any people.
And this nation is as evil as all the other poverty stricken nations who blaspheme the Almighty God of Israel and His anointed one, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour of them that believe Him.
Regroup and reload. Sadly, I agree with you. There will almost certainly be conflict in Americas future. Its a horrid thing to watch Her bloody freedom spurned and even ridiculed by enemies that seem too numerous to overcome. Noone can take our freedom from us, not as a nation, nor as individuals because, like salvation, it has been given by God. I keep hearing my own mouth saying the words...against all enemies foreign and domestic, and I know that the oath that contains these words has been uttered by many. Some mean them as a solemn promise to God and Country. Others, like BHO and company mouth these words like the punchline of a bitter joke. The wickeds day will come, most assuredly it will come.
compare NY with FL voters.
Take two databases and simply compare both sets and examine the duplicate names.
THEN inquire about absentee ballots.
I am surprised there is no nursing home investigations. There are legal incapacitated who are legally found to be incapacitated and yet they vote every election.
remember when camp algore sent over 2 million voter registration forms to suspected illegals and non citizens in california?
In this day and age we need a centralized database sharing of voter registrations. (we have it for instant background checks). This stops multistate voting via absentee.

In what's becoming a crowded Republican field in the race to run against Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, new candidate Mike Kopp says he's up for the challenge.
Kopp, who announced his candidacy for Colorado governor Tuesday at Red Rocks, said in a telephone interview after the announcement that he's excited to get his campaign rolling.
"I'm brimming with excitement," Kopp said. "I thrive on challenge. I think that our message is one that really will resonate with just where Coloradans are."
Kopp kicked off his campaign with stops in Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and Pueblo on Tuesday, and continued to Durango, Montrose, Delta and Grand Junction. Kopp joins Secretary of State Scott Gessler, former Congressman Tom Tancredo and state Sen. Greg Brophy as Republican candidates running for governor.
"I know the other gentlemen well. I worked with all of them," Kopp said. "I'd say the thing that I'm comfortable speaking about is leadership and building a broad coalition around conservative values."
Kopp, 44, the former state Senate Minority Leader from 2009-11 who resigned to spend more time with his four children after his wife of 17 years, Kimberly, died of cancer, said it's pretty simple why he's running for governor.
"I believe the future of Colorado should look better than the present, and I'm interested in investing in the world that my children and grandchildren will inherit," said Kopp, who lives in Golden. "It's not just about my kids. It's about all of the parents and grandparents in Colorado who feel the same way. We can be on a better path, We can be on a more prosperous path that we are today, and that's what compels me to enter the race."
Kopp doesn't agree with the Weld County commissioners and other eastern plains counties to secede from Colorado and form a 51st state.
"I understand the frustration, but there is a better way to go about it," Kopp said. "If we have learned anything in recent months in Colorado, it's that people do still have a voice and they can have a say on who governs them. I'm looking forward to visiting with them about the concerns that they have. They're real, and they should be addressed at the leadership level."
Kopp said the agriculture and oil and gas businesses in Weld County are essential to the state's economy and to the state's way of life.
"Where regulations are crowding out our potential to be financially successful as a state, we should eliminate them. We can do that while we're maintaining the proper safeguards environmentally," Kopp said.
Kopp, who is the manager of corporate affairs for the Intermountain Rural Electric Association, isn't a fan of big government.
"In general, the government has moved itself from the back seat where it belongs to the front seat, and hard-working taxpayers are the ones that belong in the front seat," said Kopp, who represented southern Jefferson County from 2007-11 in the State Senate. "Freedom-loving Americans and Coloradans are the ones that belong in the front seat. Everybody gets that."
Kopp said he was able to make an impact as a member of the minority party when he was a state senator.
"I was able to advance tax reform. I got a tax cut passed as a member of the minority party, $10 million tax savings for businesses that pay into the state's work comp system," Kopp said. "Immigration reform, the same thing. I was able to advance legislation around that topic. I think it had to do with the ability to work with the broad spectrum of people, but keep my conservative values at the forefront and never lose track of that as you're building those coalitions."
On his website, Kopp said he will not relent until the new gun control laws are fully repealed, and also allow Colorado to opt out of ObamaCare.
"The first order of business for me would be advancing a repeal effort of those (gun) bills that passed in the last legislative session," he said. "I was serving in the Senate when the ObamaCare legislation was enacted by Congress, and I took leadership to advance legislation that would have created a road map for us to opt out of ObamaCare as a state. We can handle these issues at a state level."

The 2010 "Doctor Who" Christmas special marks the unofficial beginning of the series' sixth season, so it's only appropriate that the episode offer a decent look at the upcoming 12-episode run.
And the trailer for new "Who" does not disappoint — especially for those curious about the series' first ever episodes filmed in the United States.
The American arc looks primarily Old West-y, though there is a shot of the oval office. (We don't think they shot the latter on location.) Matt Smith does his part to complement the scenery by adding a Stetson to his bowtie and suspenders.
As for plot take-away, there's still not much to go on — other than baby-doll looking aliens, Roman numeral smallpox, a disarming Doctor beard and the return of River Song (Alex Kingston)… naked. If Season 5 teased correctly, this could be the point where they pull a "Time Traveler's Wife" and finally get romantic.

The US ambassador to Burma met with local leaders in war-torn Kachin State on Tuesday in a bid to improve aid efforts for displaced refugees there, as fighting between ethnic rebels and government troops continued to escalate.
In his first visit to Burma's northernmost state since becoming ambassador in July, Derek Mitchell said he wanted to learn how the United States might help refugees in rebel-controlled territory, where Burmese authorities have banned access to foreign aid, according to politicians who met with him on Tuesday.
"Derek Mitchell said he and his delegation came to show us that ethnic groups here have not been forgotten," said Bauk Ja, a member of the National Democratic Force party and one of three politicians who met with Mitchell on Tuesday.
"But we didn't have much time to talk about the entire situation in Kachin State, so we focused on the confiscation of farmland and the problem of corrupt officials," she added.
In Kachin State, where ethnic rebels are fighting with government troops for their basic rights and self-determination, farmland is often seized without compensation by crony businessmen, local authorities and the military, while corrupt immigration officials in border regions take bribes from migrants in exchange for legal documents.
Mitchell, who traveled to a refugee camp in Wai Maw Township after the meeting, also met with regional civil society groups during his visit.
"The ambassador learned about our efforts and asked about the possibility of accessing internally displaced persons [IDP] camps to provide assistance," said Nshang San Awng, a founding leader of the Peace Talk Creation Group, which is trying to negotiate peace between Kachin leaders and the Burmese government.
The US ambassador arrived in the state capital Myitkyina on Monday. Since becoming America's top diplomat in Burma five months ago, he has also made several visits to the restive Arakan State in western Burma.
Meanwhile, Bauk Ja said on Tuesday that ethnic rebels from the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) reportedly seized control of a police station in Karmine, near Hpakant Township.
"I got a call from Karmine this morning saying the KIA had taken control of the police station, which is next to the government battalion," she said.
One police officer was killed and three were injured in the early morning attack from 4:15 am to 5:30 am, according to a report on the Facebook page of the Burmese police.
Eighty KIA soldiers launched the attack, the Facebook report said.
Bauk Ja said rebel soldiers released civilian prisoners at the station who had been falsely accused of joining the KIA.
"I was also told that they seized weapons," she added, saying the number of casualties had not yet been confirmed.
The road to Hpakant, where fighting has been frequent since August, is reportedly closed.
"I heard there was artillery shelling near Hpakant, as the fighting continues on both sides," said Dr. Manam Tu Ja, a local Kachin politician who also met with Mitchell.
"They should hurry to achieve genuine peace talks," he added, saying that fighting would continue as long as the Kachin people lacked autonomy and equal rights.
The Kachin Independence Organization, the political group linked to the KIA, has met several times with government negotiators since a 17-year-old ceasefire broke down in June last year, but the meetings have failed to produce tangible results for peace.

In developing the Pacific H20 rain suit, one of REV'IT!'s main goals was to make it easy to put on in just a few seconds – about the time it takes you to get soaked during a heavy shower. Mission accomplished. The solution lies not only in the long, diagonal front closure, but especially in the newly developed, non-stick, PVC-free coating on the inside of the Power Nylon outer shell. The result is a 100% waterproof, breathable, and very practical all-weather companion that will meet the demands of any rider. Convenient features include a storage pocket on the upper leg. For safety, reflection panels on the shoulders and lower legs ensure great visibility. If you need to stand out in traffic even more, the Pacific H2O comes in a high-visibility neon yellow option.

Town keeps old equipment at rinkJuly 09,2013BRATTLEBORO The Brattleboro Select Board is going to stick with the aging refrigeration equipment at the towns skating rink for at least one more year to ensure that the ice is ready in the Vermont town for the upcoming season.
The compressors at the Nelson Withington Skating Rink failed at the end of the last season and the town has been considering investing in a new system. But the estimate came in at almost $500,000, about $150,000 more than the community had set aside for the project.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the board agreed to invest between $30,000 and $40,000 in the compressors at the facility, even though theres no guarantee the equipment will hold up for another season.
The skating season is due to start in late October.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

This is going to be hard to explain without making this post really long. Please let me know what you would do in this situation.
I have had my group of girlfriends for over 10 years. (4 girls)ĀWe have been through a lot together. Babies, relationships,Āfamily issues, marriages, ect. The problem is, they can be really bitchy and rude at times. Its never been towards me, but to some of my other friends that have meet themĀandĀnow the newest person that they have made feel crappy is my husband. He is the most wonderful and loving person, and I just dont get how they can be so cold towards him. (only thing I can think of is jealousy issues)ĀIt has happened on so many occations that he refuses to meet up with them, or even have a conversation with me about them. I truly understand why he feels this way, and I feel bad that he has had to put up with any of their BS. My question is, should I drop my friends that I have had for 10 years, or should I try to make things work. I definitely do not want to strain my realationship with DH over this, so I dont know what to do.

The PAC Stages a Pac-Man-Shaped Rally By the AT&TPAC. Any Questions?
A startling look down private health care's profit-hungry Pac-Man gullet.
Photos by Danny Fulgencio
First off, how can something be a "flash mob" when local media's tipped off to the happening, oh, a week before it's scheduled with a press release? Second, it's awful hard to make a statement out of a conceptual-art event tied to health-care reform; yellow ponchos don't have quite the same impact as a "Youth in Asia Will Kill Your Grandma" sign. And: Don't promise thousands when you deliver ... oh ... a hundred, maybe?
There's a word for what happened Sunday, when the Dallas Professional Artists' Coalition took their health-care protest to the Arts District: anti-climactic. Donned in their canary-colored trash bags, PAC reps formed a Pac-Man (or so we think) as a metaphor for the health care industry's unbridled consumption, said organizers. (Actually, as you can see, they didn't so much form a Pac-Man so much as stand in the chalk outline of the video-game character.) It also had something to do with creating solidarity amongst local artists and building momentum toward "an art-friendly solution to the health care crisis." More photos of the happening follow after the jump.
Don't worry, though. We've got better dress-up items forthcoming from the weekend. Five words: "Princess Leia slave-girl costume." Happy early Halloween.

Patricia Clarkson, Robert Downey Jr in Good Night, and Good Luck.
John Horn's "Oscar bumps up ego, sure, but box office?" in the Los Angeles Times:
"With the studios and their specialized film divisions spending tens of millions of dollars on award campaigns, it's natural to assume the holy grail is the Oscar statuette. It's an attractive myth, and one that gets a lot of media attention. If only it were still true.
"Though the little gold man is an imposing addition to any bookcase and briefly slakes the unquenchable vanity of filmmakers, producers and studio executives, its effect on a film's ultimate profitability is routinely negligible. In some cases, an over-the-top campaign – Good Night, and Good Luck being an excellent recent example – can actually slash a film's profitability.
"Any 'Oscar bump,' in other words, translates into more prestige and ego boost than a box office bonus.
John Horn's article makes for an interesting read, though it would have been more informative – and more accurate – had Horn told us how much money studios, distributors, and/or filmmakers earn on DVD, pay-per-view, cable and television, and international (including box-office) sales following their films' Oscar wins.
When all that is added up, then perhaps we'll discover that the effect of the Oscar on a film's ultimate profitability is routinely anything but negligible. After all, according to various reports domestic (US / Canada) box office accounts for about only 25-30 percent of a (Hollywood) film's total revenues.
And here's another view on Oscar's financial effects, by Paul R. La Monica, on CNN.com.

The clip virus blockage plan from Doomsday (2008) Bloody Hell, George. What's got your knickers in a twist? National emergency, I'm afraid. Briefing for the PM in five minutes. Let's keep this informal and to the point. We all know what's at stake, why you're here. Jane. In 2023, when the rising tidal waters were threatening to flood London, we extended the Thames flood barrier. Like a castle moat, this system of canals encircles the entire capital north of the river. Our immediate plan is to flood the canals, blockade all bridges, tube lines and rail links in and out of the city. You want to put 12 million people under lock and key? Containment is our absolute priority. We must implement martial law now. Keep the people off the streets while we secure the blockade and set up medical stations. Only then can we begin the evacuation. Do it. It's all very well packing people into their homes like so many million sardines, but you drop a killer virus into that mix, and this town is gonna go tits-up in no short order. Once you start stacking bodies in the streets, there'll be panic, public disorder, looting, rape, murder, and that's just for starters. The death toll will be unimaginable, and by that time, there'll be absolutely fuck-all we can do about it. You have to think of the millions that we'll be saving. Are you talking about people? Or pound notes?

Día De Los Muertos: Fabric For Heirloom Projects
National Museum of Mexican Art to see the awe-inspiring altars. There is so much that could be written about this holiday, but today I'll just share some gorgeous fabrics that would be perfect for crafts to keep forever...
- This absolutely sensational fabric was designed by Whimzwhirled, and is available through Spoonflower. There are tons of excellent Día De Los Muertos fabrics on Spoonflower, but this was my favorite.
- Jardín De Los Muertos fabric is part of the Alexander Henry Folklorico collection, and through Pink Chalk Fabrics.
- Sugar skulls with glittery gold accents! Sugar Skull fabric from Vista Latina has a pink or black background, and glitter!
- I really love the Puebla fabric (in black or white), also from Vista Latina. The style and colors are excellent.
- Oilcloth is always appealing, and these options are particularly festive. Mexican Sugar Skull sells Day Of The Dead tablecloths, or colorful oilcloth to make your own.
- Finally, we have Día De Los Muertos by way of Japan. Superbuzzy sells this cotton version of papel picado (cut paper, a traditional Día De Los Muertos craft), made in Japan, available in pink or turquoise. I couldn't pick my favorite!

Carmen Sandiego: Secret of the Stolen Drums
Why in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
On the one hand, frankly and up front, it's hard to understand why Carmen Sandiego, a name known for its fun world- and time-spanning sleuth work, is being remade into a sort of stealth adventure game, with the odd 3D platforming element here and there. It looks suspiciously like someone wanted to make that sort of game about police agents foiling an international superthief, and then wondered if people might be more likely to buy it if the superthief had a recognizable name.
But on the other hand, if the Carmen Sandiego series is going to come to next-gen systems (and we see no reason why it wouldn't), bringing it back in its old edutainment form would admittedly have been a little dull, and it probably needed spicing up a bit in some form. If it's the historical trivia-heavy, clue-seeking experience you want, there are budget PC software publishers more than willing to assist you. If you want something more like a real game, A2M's re-envisioning could be the ticket.
To its credit, Carmen Sandiego: Secret of the Stolen Drums does seem to adhere more to an investigative way of playing, than an all-out action game would have. While there are combat sequences here and there, most of the game is based on puzzle-solving and infiltration. Hence, a move list that includes hitting faraway switches with a blowgun and using a staff as a pole vault for that extra lift when jumping. The familiar stealth elements, so popular these days, are also a natural part of incursions against security-conscious hyperthieves, and you'll be expected to defeat motion sensors, sneak by guards, and the like.
There are even nods to the series' roots as edutainment: the familiar globe-hopping elements are in place, and you will indeed need to pay attention to clues Carmen leaves you at the end of each location to figure out where she is next. In addition, one of your A.C.M.E. associates will send you emails from time to time with information on the history and geography of each location.
Our earlier cynical misgivings aside, this new Carmen Sandiego may be something of a success for BAM!. And if it is, we humbly suggest a few other edutainment updates for the modern day that they may want to consider:
Oregon Rally
If Carmen Sandiego can become a stealth adventure game, we see no reason why we shouldn't be allowed to drive our oxen across the countryside all the way to Oregon. A bushel of customization options (how many yoke? room for spare wheels or no?) at the outset affect your performance, and the hunting minigame returns with dual analog control for simultaneous driving and shooting in a top-down view.
Math Math Revolution
What's the only way you could make arcade hit Dance Dance Revolution even more fun? By splicing it with Number Muncher for the Apple IIe, of course. The standard dance pad already has 9 hot spots, so all you have to do is you map those to a number keypad and dance the arithmetic away.
Mavis Beacon Teaches Sniping
If video games are going to be blamed anyway for causing violence and instilling unsavory habits, they may as well live up to that reputation. Patrick Henry said, "If this be treason, let us make the most of it," and that's just what this combination of Silent Scope and the lauded typing tutor series does. Bonus levels put you atop a skyscraper looking down at a giant keypad on the street below, with a challenge to snipe out a word within a certain time limit.

Play and Folklore is a forum for discussion about childhood and children's culture. It publishes articles, letters, memoirs and research studies that examine what children do when largely free of adult direction or control—their colloquial speech, songs, games, rhymes, riddles, jokes, insults and secret languages, their friendships and enmities, their beliefs and hopes. Play and Folklore was previously published as the Australian Children's Folklore Newsletter (1981-1996).
Two issues of Play and Folklore are published by Museum Victoria's History & Technology Department per year, with contributions welcome from all parts of the world. The deadlines are:

text: Tomb Raider Review: Hurts So Good Molly Cushing March 11, 2013 PC Gaming, Reviews Crystal Dynamic's 2013 reboot gives us a Lara Croft who we haven't seen before–but more importantly, one who completely wins us over. She's young, she's naive yet intelligent, and surprisingly, she hates tombs! After a sudden storm, she is shipwrecked on an island and is greeted by not-so-friendly natives. It is up to Lara to find the strength within herself to stay alive and rescue her friends from the many dangers within the island. Can this new Lara save herself? More importantly, can she save this franchise? [pullquote] Release Date: March 5th, 2013 Platforms: Xbox 360 (reviewed), PS3, PC Developer: Crystal Dynamics Publisher: Square Enix Rating: M for Mature Price: $59.99 [/pullquote] You truly feel responsible for the safety and well being of Lara, as well as feel an actual sensation of failure when you die. The story in Tomb Raider is reminiscent of the Indiana Jones movies (you know, the good ones, without aliens), in which the plot itself is kind of thin, but the subplots of character development and action distract you from it. Character development is done flawlessly in Tomb Raider; Camilla Luddington's performance as Croft is incredibly convincing. You truly feel responsible for the safety and well being of Lara, as well as feel an actual sensation of failure when you die. I can't remember the last time I felt such a strong connection and sense of pride in a game's character as I felt playing as Lara Croft. It's hard not to sympathize with the poor girl–the island is incredibly unforgiving and she's just so innocent and charismatic. She reminds you of a girl you know back home, and she gleams with potential. Watching her reach and surpass it makes you proud of her as well as yourself. It's an interesting feeling, but a good one. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the all of the game's characters. In comparison to Lara's intense emotional development, her fellow shipwrecked friends fall short in terms of voice acting and presence. They're secondary characters for a reason, but it's still somewhat of a let down. Gameplay in Tomb Raider is refreshing because as the player, you're trusted to make all of your own decisions, and that's pretty rare in games these days. All too often games over-instruct, taking away from that sense of discovery that most look for in an action-adventure game. Crystal Dynamics got it right in assuming that players are intelligent enough to figure it out on their own, and that is what makes this game so appealing. The first hour or so of Tomb Raider is admittedly pretty heavy on cinematics and quick time events. To be fair, it's all done for the purpose of character establishment, not to mention they're some of the more exciting and engaging QTEs I've encountered in a game– you actually have to pay attention and time them correctly. However, once you're free to roam the island, hunt, and explore areas, the game really gets to show off all it has to offer. You earn XP from hunting, killing enemies, and finding treasure. As you gain XP, you're able to upgrade abilities and weapons. The XP gain certainly increases your desire to explore the island and, you know, raid tombs. The tombs themselves are hidden throughout the island and contain ingenious puzzles that will make you feel incredibly intelligent upon completion, but incredibly stupid during the process. They possess ancient structures and relics, and the way Lara geeks out over these items is incredibly endearing and pretty freakin' adorable. It's exciting to see her character actually enjoy something, and her love for ancient civilizations and history gives her moments of peace in a chaotic reality. It's important to know that while Tomb Raider does a decent job at balancing realism and action-adventure fantasy, there are still moments in which it falls off kilter. While Lara will automatically crouch behind objects to avoid being spotted, there is no actual crouch button. Generally, you don't need it, but in instances where you want to sneak into an area full of enemies, stealth becomes important, and at times, Tomb Raider feels ill-equipped. Lara will randomly pop up out of hiding, blowing your cover and inviting a barrage of bullets with Lara's name on them. Also, some sort of automatic blend system into tall grass or bushes would have been appreciated. Tomb Raider's enemy AI is of average intelligence (but I swear they're all partially deaf), but they should not have noticed me hiding in the bushes. Again, those instances are rare, but still frustrating. Playing through the game, I got choked to death, had my head crushed by a boulder, my throat speared by a tree limb, and snapped my neck on an ocean reef… This game will surprise you with its gore. Tomb Raider has certainly earned its mature rating. There is a surprising amount of gore in the game. You see and hear all of Lara's dangerous falls, broken bones, gasps for breath, and cries of pain, not to mention walking through pools of blood and severed limbs. I believe the most intense and gruesome parts of the game are some of Lara's death scenes. These things are hard to watch, man. Playing through the game, I got choked to death, had my head crushed by a boulder, my throat speared by a tree limb, and snapped my neck on an ocean reef. Sure, they're incredibly realistic and show just how dangerous the island can be, but they kind of come out of nowhere and just seem to serve as more of a gimmick than anything else. Combat was certainly a concern going into this game, especially with the lackluster combat systems from past Tomb Raider games. Thankfully, Crystal Dynamics pulls off an exciting, engaging, and intuitive combat system. Not only is the combat enjoyable, but it's also somewhat diverse, allowing you to play to your own style. Throughout the game, Lara discovers new weapons, giving combat a nice refresher. I typically preferred to use the bow because, like a fart, I enjoy being silent but deadly. However, if you're a bigger fan of going in guns a blazin', you have that option as well. Climbing is also a breeze in Tomb Raider but still maintains the essence of anxiety. Every leap to the next ledge will leave your heart in your throat until you've landed safely. Visually, there's much to admire in the stunning island that Crystal Dynamics has created. Whether it's beautiful sunsets, breath-taking waterfalls, or lush green tropical plants, it's all a joy to see. Sound is also a strong suit for the game, even the sound of Lara's bow bending back sounds incredibly realistic. You hear every piece of this gigantic environment. From birds to dripping water in tombs to distant wolves howling, it all feels incredibly real. This, tied in with the amazing visuals in the game, make the island feel like more like an environment, and less like a 'level.' I quickly formed a love/hate (mostly love) relationship with the dynamic camera angles used in the game. More often than not, it created a pretty cool cinematic affect that blended in with the cutscenes well. The camera angles also created a sense of immersion in producing a sense of panic when exploring tombs or climbing over walls– not knowing what was on the other side or around the corner was rather nerve-wracking, but in a realistic sense. The camera will also shake during intense action sequences or even when Lara is cold, again immersing the player into the world that Lara inhabits. However, the camera angles have their moments of overkill, especially during the later climbing sequences. There were also a few instances in which I thought, "I'm pretty sure this is just so I can look at her butt." But overall, the camera angles don't really exploit Lara in a sexual way, which is a bit of a relief, especially since she's been considered somewhat of a sexual icon. It's nice to see her go in a more serious direction in terms of design and presentation. If multiplayer developer Eidos Montreal can fix the bugs and add more maps and game types with their upcoming DLC, there may be hope for Tomb Raider's multiplayer. Otherwise, I don't see it being played much longer. To be honest, the one thing that really brought Tomb Raider down was its multiplayer. In general, multiplayer seems out of place in a game that is so focused on personal growth. There are only five maps and four game types: Team Deathmatch, Free for All, Rescue, and Cry for Help. Except for Free for All, all game types are 4v4, pitting the Survivors (Lara's fellow shipwrecked friends) against the Solarii (the island natives). In Rescue, survivors must retrieve five medkits to their camp, while the scavengers just have to score 20 melee kills. Cry for Help forces Survivors to activate radio transmitters whilst the Solarii try to capture batteries to prevent the transmitters from being activated. There are interesting aspects to Tomb Raider's multiplayer that do tie it to the single player. There is a vast amount of mobility- you can scale rocks and slide down ziplines just like single player. You can also set traps for enemies to fall into, but eventually, everyone kind of suspects them and become of little use. Multiplayer also borrows the single player's leveling up system by gaining XP from kills and the ability to level up guns by looting chests around the map. The maps themselves have a strange color scheme; they either seem incredibly dark or incredibly bright, there appears to be no balance between the two extremes. They also don't compare to the stunning graphics of the single player and just leave something to be desired. Your loadouts are composed of a primary weapon, secondary weapon, explosive, offensive skill, and survival skill (skills acting as perks). In terms of multiplayer gameplay, there's quite a bit of lag and bugs- players get stuck in rocks and skitch along your screen, making it difficult to kill them. Personally, I found multiplayer to be more frustrating than fun– I felt like I was testing an early multiplayer beta rather than a finalized product. If multiplayer developer Eidos Montreal can fix the bugs and add more maps and game types with their upcoming DLC, there may be hope for Tomb Raider's multiplayer. Otherwise, I don't see it being played much longer. The Wrap Up Tomb Raider finally provides the franchise with a game that possesses all the elements that a solid action-adventure game requires and polishes them wonderfully. Lara's character development gives you a sense of personal responsibility for her well-being. The few issues with camera angles are easily forgivable with the immersive experience they provide. The overall gameplay and presentation of the game is impressive and refreshing . While the multiplayer leaves something to be desired, it truly does feel completely separated from the outstanding single player. Tomb Raider is certainly a game that everyone should experience.

IT is complex, famously and infamously so. Thousands of variables factor into the success or failure of a high-profile project. Will your career be defined by the data warehouse, delivered on time and under budget, that uncovered a thousand business opportunities? Or the ERP fiasco that forced the CFO to put one of those ugly footnotes about an unanticipated supply chain shortfall into the quarterly SEC filing?
Here we recount eight tech blunders--costly mistakes for the people involved and lessons for the rest of us. They range from application upgrades gone awry to wholesale strategy shifts that landed in the muck. There's the publicly traded company that prematurely unplugged its accounting system, the federal agency whose failed upgrade opened the door to fraudsters, the utility company that plunged much of North America into darkness because of a failed server reboot, and more. What follows are business technology fiascoes, some lesser-known, that continue to serve as shining examples of what not to do.
McDonald's Restaurants undertook a project so grand in scale and scope that, well, it couldn't be done. In 2001, the fast-food chain conceived a project to create an intranet connecting headquarters with far-flung restaurants that would provide operational information in real time. Under the plan, dubbed Innovate, a manager in the company's Oak Brook, Ill., headquarters would know instantly if sales were slowing at a franchise in Orlando, Fla., or if the grill temperature at a London restaurant wasn't hot enough. McDonald's always has been tight lipped about Innovate--the company didn't return calls seeking comment for this story--but there's no doubt about its far-reaching scope. According to a white paper by Mpower, the consulting firm McDonald's hired for early planning and technology procurement, the idea was to create "a global ERP application that will eventually touch every one of McDonald's stores." In other words, about 30,000 restaurants in more than 120 countries. Piece of McCake, right?
Among all companies, the billion-dollar IT extravaganza has gone the way of the McDLT sandwich: It's more than anyone wants to bite off.

Historical Traveler Reviews Chateau on the Lake Resort & Spa Branson
Needs better customer sevice!
Lost my numbered, recorded gift certificate for this hotel 12/04; was told "it's like a Walmart gift card", can't be replaced. Phone tag, then run around by the "revenue manager" (desk phone employees were nice, though) who finally agreed to do me a favor and "re-issue" the certificate for fee of $25, even though I was booking right then. Penny-wise, pound-foolish -- as I resolved never to get my wife another anniversary getaway at a Hammons property. Still, one of the only upscale hotels in Branson area, and they know it. Managerial needs to take a lesson from the Disney resorts in people skills!
Chateau on the lake in the winter
Great place enjoyed it a lot, very clean and the view is awsome! We live down the street in Springdale AR. and look for good deals on their homepage, but even at full price if you want to do nothing for a few days in a four star hotel in the winter, Branson is the place. Nothing is open and it is very quiet, with very few employees, but that is expected in the winter in a summer town. It will be slow, but the food is good the 10 employees that are working are very nice, and most important there is not a line to be seen. Try the IMAX...get a discount from the web page and them you can return your ticket to go to the next one for half price.
Unhappy traveler
would not recommend this hotel. yeah, it looks pretty & yeah it's near the lake, but as far as the staff & office personell forget it. nothing but snotty attitude & the feeling everything is an inconvenience, not to mentioned overpriced. save your $$ & go somewhere it's appreciated.
Great Hotel
Spent 3nts on Dec. 9, 10, 11 2004 at the Chateau. Hotel is beautiful and was decorated to the hilt for the holidays. Staff was very gracious. Be sure to ask for a lake view room. We didn't have a choice as the hotel was almost sold out two weeks before our trip and we got stuck with a view of a rooftop below us. The room itself was large and appointed very well. Only problem was the bathtub, shower combination. The tub is as small as you can get and with the soft water gets really slick when taking a shower. No mat or anything in the tub so you had to hold on for dear life not to fall. Main restaurant was "OK". Wife had smoked chicken which was excellent except for the sauce on the side which everyone at the table agreed was the worst thing they ever tasted. I had a lumb crab tower which was mostly a salmon and bread filler. Other couple both had lasagna and rated it excellent. Valet parking is $12 a day which they don't tell you until you check out. Location is about 15 minutes from everything and is worth it to stay out on the lake and not on the strip. Even Mickey Rooney came in to eat while we were there. Overall, two thumbs up.
Highly recommended!
Beautifully decorated for the holidays! Service was well above average. Went above and beyond to welcome a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old with extra touches such as a complimentary little beenie baby. Carolers in the lobby. Indoor pool was perfect. If anything was lacking it was the menu choices at the Atrium Cafe. Ambassador room with balcony overlooking the lake is highly recommended. Housekeeping staff took very good care of us.
Best hotel in Branson at least that is what I thought
The hotel was very lovely but there were somethings that I would change. They had valet parking but acted like they would rather we parked our car ourselves. The point to this is if they offered the service then they should have provided it. The swimming pool was very nice but the service for the bar was very confusing because one time they would just put it on your room tab and another time they would ask for cash. The resturants were very nice but the prices are very high and you don't get the amount or quality that you pay for. The movie theater was very nice touch that I have never seen at any other hotel.
The best of Branson
This was terrific place. The hotel is very nice with a terrific view of the lake. Moreover, the staff was very responsive and friendly. My family had a terrific time.
Best of the wurst
The hotel occupies a lovely setting on the lake. The exterior styling
is ugly and pretentious and detracts from its surroundings (I guess
that makes it fit in with the rest of thecommunity) but the room we
occupied was spacious, tastefully decorated, and comfortable, although
poorly lit. Parking is convenient and adequate. The bar, pool, gym, and
meeting rooms were well equipped and inviting.The personel were
friendly and accommodating.
Since Branson in lacking, as best I can tell, in good restaurants other than the usual franchised eateries, I had hoped for a pleasant dining experience at the Chateau Grill. The prices on the menu were daunting ($20 t0 $40 for ala carte entrees), but I hoped to be compensated with with good food. Unfortunately the quality was not commensurate with the expense.
This was my first visit to Branson, which appears to be basically a
monument erected to banality, but if that's your cup of tea the Chateau
is probably the best place to stay.
Ultimate Embassy Suites -- but no free breakfast
This is the crown jewel of John Q. Hammons who made many $$$ building Embassy Suites and Holiday Inns. That background shows as it's really just an Embassy Suites kicked up a couple of notches. Nice property, though the French "Chateau" hype is misleading. Interior decor is more arts & crafts than French. Only French touch I saw was the mansard roof, but McDonald's has those and no one claims it's French. Our "ambassador suite" was exactly the same layout of a typical Embassy Suites room though with nicer finishes (e.g., granite, berber carpet).
Good programs for kids and free movies in a 50 seat theater. Food was good but overpriced ($37 for steak and 4 "jumbo prawns" - actually average sized shrimp.) Nice pool, with playground for younger kids.
Added a daily $10 "resort fee" surcharge on top of room rate and tax for things such as coffee maker, morning paper, etc.
What a lovely place to be stranded
We went to Branson in February - a nice weekend away - to take in a couple of shows and to just enjoy the weekend. We ended up being 'snowed in'. The whole town shut down. We were grateful to be at the Chateau on the Lake Branson!What a lovely place to be stranded. The room overlooking the lake was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and helpful. (most spent the night also - they could not get home) and were still smiling early the next morning!They have their own movie theater (although movie selection is somewhat limited) Even the outdoor hot tub was in use - despite the snow!The Sunday brunch was extraordinary and we are planning another stay this Spring.Watch their web site for specials.

Peeds's Reviews > Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
by Dan Ariely
by Dan Ariely
This is a very absorbing book about Behavioral Economics by Dan Ariely that makes you wonder if you really think rationally when making choices. It is about how "decoys" are used by merchants to confuse you about your choices, and how you would typically react to them. This book gives you numerous examples that show how we can be influenced to make irrational decisions in making choices such as buying magazine subscription, a DVD player, or a house. There are many experiments that the author describes which clearly illustrate how the presence of some choices or information can act like a decoy, blur our judgment, and steer us towards making sub-optimal choices. While traditional economics is based on the premise that people make rational choices, and that the market forces are the result of those, behavioral economics concerns itself in the study of predictably irrational choices that people typically make, and what drives them to do so.
