The Battle of Castelo Rodrigo, also known as the Battle of Salgadela, was fought on 7 July 1664, near Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, between Spanish and Portuguese as part of the Portuguese Restoration War.
After a number of skirmishes, the Duke of Osuna attacked the castle of Castelo Rodrigo with 7,000 men and 9 pieces of artillery. The castle was only defended by 150 Portuguese.
The military commander of the province, Pedro Jacques de Magalhães, rallied 3,000 men and moved to the rescue of Castelo Rodrigo.
A battle took place near the village of Mata de Lobos in "Salgadela" which was won by the Portuguese. After an initial Spanish attack was repelled, the Portuguese counter-attack proved decisive. Many prisoners were taken and all the artillery pieces captured.[8] It is told that Osuna and John of Austria the Younger, escaped disguised as monks.[9]
A memorial stone was placed on the site of the battlefield.

Basilosaurus cetoides
created by: Johannes Emily Hall
The state fossil of Mississippi and Alabama and first discovered in Louisiana, this creature brings to mind a classic Southern beverage, the classy and traditional sweet peach tea. Drink it iced as you sit on your porch admiring the orchards. Hey, maybe that rocking chair you're sitting on is actually made of ancient whale bones.

Reaching lengths of almost 70 feet, Basilosaurus (meaning 'King lizard') was the largest Eocene mammal. Originally thought to be a reptile, it was very elongated and had a vestigal back limb. It was carnivorous, and fed on fish, sharks and possibly other whales. Although the animal was not named until 1839, in the early 1800s, B. cetoides fossils were so common that they were regularly used as furniture, usually as andirons, in the American South.

From the Manufacturer
Creating the Perfect Cup of Tea
| Brewing tea is a daily routine enjoyed by millions and on the face of it, a simple process. However, brewing the perfect cup of tea is almost a science which takes into account water quality, water temperature, and infusion times. Boiled water is not considered good for making tea as the boiling process removes oxygen, making the water stale. Also, different teas must be brewed at different temperatures: for example, green tea at 160 degrees Fahrenheit, approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit for white tea, and water heated to 205 degrees Fahrenheit is perfect for Puerh and black teas. With this in mind, it's easy to see that brewing tea isn't as simple as it seems. But, the Fine-T Machine eliminates any guesswork so you can enjoy a perfect cup of tea time after time.
The Fine-T gourmet tea machine combines the science of tea making with leading edge technology to enable you to not just enjoy, but savour perfectly brewed teas time after time. The Fine-T gourmet tea machine is fully programmable for all types of tea, water temperatures, and steep times, as water temperatures can vary depending on the type of tea you are using. The Fine-T machine takes care of this automatically.
Beautiful and Functional
| Designed to brew any type of loose tea leaves, the beautifully styled 4-cup Fine T is the only electric tea maker that simultaneously and automatically controls both water temperature and brewing time with exact precision. To ensure that each cup of tea is brewed perfectly every time, whether it's robust black or oolong, more delicate exotic white tea, or fragile green tea, Fine T features 7 distinct settings that match the tea being used to its ideal water temperature and infusion time. Fine T also includes an eighth setting, a tea wash program which rinses leaves such as Puerh tea before brewing. A 24-hour clock and programmable timer makes it possible to preset brewing times, and for example, wake up to the pleasing aroma of freshly brewed tea each morning. Unlike coffee, which can be uniformly brewed at a certain water temperature, and for the same amount of time, regardless of the type of bean and roast used, tea is more complex and requires finesse in order to enjoy peak flavors and aromas.
Sleek and modern in its design, which combines gleaming chrome and black accents, Fine T resembles a high-end, programmable electric coffee maker in style and function. Simple to use, Fine T has a swing-out infusion basket to conveniently hold loose tea (one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup is recommended). Fine T's top lid lifts to pour fresh, cold water into the water chamber, which conveniently includes an outside water level indicator window for visual guidance. Additionally, the interior of the water chamber has a minimum and maximum water level mark. To operate, select the appropriate setting for the type of tea used with a push of a button. The tea maker's back-lit LCD panel will confirm the tea brewing setting chosen, showing the type of tea selected, the appropriate water temperature, and exact time required for brewing. Fine T takes care of the rest, heating the water to the correct temperature before it reaches the infusion basket, which is also heated to ensure the right temperature is maintained throughout the infusion process. Following an exact period of infusion, perfectly brewed tea is dispensed below into a heat-resistant glass carafe. A heated plate at the base of the unit conveniently keeps the tea at its ideal temperature, and is designed to shut off after 30 minutes so as to preserve the flavor of the tea.
Features and Specifications
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
-Makes 4 cups
-Has a rinse feature for tea. Although I would like to tweak that a bit.
-Mostly stainless steal and glass.
-Mostly very well made.
-Self cleaning, handy.
-Infusion basket is full size, so the tea has room to expand. It also is removable, and easy to clean sense it is stainless steal. This was one major draw back of the Zarafina, it's infusion basket was only half the size of the amount you could brew.
-Timer, it can be set the night before to make you tea in the morning!
-Has an automatic function for a second brew.
-Keeps tea warm for up to 30 minutes.
-Very little temperature control. I though this would be the best part of this machine, with the lcd display and menu interface I assumed I would have more temperature chooses then 205 and 160. This also is to cold for some Black teas, and a bit to hot for some white teas.
-It's huge! Well this really is not that bad, but it is almost twice the size of the Zarafina and does not really fit under my cupboards on the counter. Of course it does make 4 cups.
-Some oddly cheap plastic parts. For example the infusion lid is made of plastic and puts off a plastic smell when brewing black tea.
-An interface only a programmer would love. It is not terribly user friendly, yet it is not hard ether. It does end up being tedious to deal with.
-Bad viewing angle on the LCD, I am taller, and find myself leaning over to see it clear. If it had more features, I would be impressed, but when I can not even dial in a temperature I wonder why we need it for the basic settings. That is until you use the timer for tea in the morning, then you will like it.
Over all it has a feeling of a beta tea maker.Read more ›
Put China White Yin Zen Silver Needle into this machine and you'll get dishwater, regardless which program you try. This tea, like many other white teas, needs 176 degrees. So, with this tea maker you have to choose your tea according to the programs available. Well, this really is not my cup of tea....
"My first complaint with this tea maker is that it leaves liquid in bottom steep tray after brewing. No amount of draining will get it out, and it seems as if they only way is to do a full clean on the system after each brewing. Otherwise you get a paper towel, and you sop it up that way. Also, the interface isn't very good either. Another minor flaw is it is very hard to pour the tea out without spilling it. For 300 dollars I expect this to be the cream of the crop, and not a device that leaves tea from the last steep in the bottom container."
This alone should prevent ANYONE from spending a huge sum of money on this machine. It is unfortunate since it does make a great cup of tea. I bought this from Teavana and sent the first one back. They sent me a new one free of charge. The second one is also going back and I will get a refund! It is back to the Zarafina tea maker!!

What size do you need? Some vehicles use different-size wipers for the driver and passenger sides. Auto-parts stores can look up your wiper blade size for you, or you can check your owner's manual. If you're buying online from a site like Amazon.com, it's a good idea to double-check the size; we found plenty of complaints from frustrated owners who say Amazon.com's wiper blade size finder wasn't accurate.
What type of wiper blades came with your car? Many new cars come with newer beam-style wiper blades as original equipment. You may need to replace these with another beam blade; a bulkier, traditional bracket-style wiper blade might not fit.
Which connectors do you have? Most new cars use easy, hook-style wiper blade connectors. Replacing this type of wiper blade is a pretty simple do-it-yourself job; Cars.com has a great step-by-step tutorial with photos on how to replace your wiper blades. However, the article admits that not all windshield wipers are this easy to replace. "A variety of arms and mounts have been used over the years," author Joe Bruzek explains. "The stubborn ones with pins and unique latches can churn up rage so deep that the new wipers may turn into boomerangs before they're ever installed." The good news? Some auto-parts stores will install your wiper blades for free if you buy them there (For example, Advance Auto Parts and Pep Boys both advertise this service).
Do you need silicone protection? Most wiper blades are made of rubber, and this old standby still works great; in one leading wiper blade test, all of the top performers are standard rubber blades. However, pricey silicone wiper blades are favored by off-roaders, who say they shrug off heavy mud and dirt. Also, many owners — particularly those who live in climates with scorching summers — praise the silicone blades' superior durability. So if your car has to deal with extreme conditions, either on or off the road, silicone wiper blades might be worth the high cost.
At first blush, it might look like it's a better value to buy just the rubber inserts for your windshield wiper blades, rather than replacing the whole blade assembly. However, buying the inserts is only slightly cheaper, and experts say installing them can be a pain. The windshield wiper buying guide at ConsumerReports.org says that replacing the rubber inserts requires "deft use of needle-nose pliers," while the new blade assemblies simply snap into place. Besides, once your blades are shot, the frames probably are too, Popular Mechanics points out. So both sources recommend just replacing the whole windshield wiper —both of them. "If one is worn out, its mate can't be far behind," ConsumerReports.org says. "Don't forget to check the rear wiper, if your vehicle has one."
Also, don't expect your new windshield wipers to come with a warranty. The only wipers we've seen that came with one were high-end silicone wipers, like the PIAA Si-Tech (Est. $30). A warranty on a standard rubber wiper wouldn't help you much anyway, since professional tests show that even good wipers — no matter what the price — don't typically perform well after six months of use.

General Remarks & Situation - This well established family owned zoo known as the Animalarium is a popular visitor attraction on the Welsh tourist trail and is open all year round. It is situated in the heart of the beautiful seaside town of Borth which lies 6 miles north of the University town of Aberystwyth. The Animalarium is within walking distance of the beach, local holiday parks, hotels and the mainline railway station. The town of Borth was voted the best place in Wales to bring up a child and has excellent schools and transport links.
Although visitor numbers have doubled over the last 10 years, and have increased again in the current year, there is still huge potential for further expansion of both the Animalarium and its visitor numbers. The Animalarium is currently spread over 8 acres, including a recent addition of an African lion house and enclosure. The Zoo features a reptile house with large constrictor snakes and lizards, a crocodile house with caiman and turtles, a petting barn, stables and animal enclosures including African Lion, African Leopard, Ocelot, Eurasian Lynx, African Antelope (Lechwe) Bennetts and Parma Wallaby, Raccoons, Coati, Emu and Rhea. Also Patas, Capuchin, Vervet and Squirrel monkey houses, birds of prey, giant tortoises, meerkats, Ring-tailed and Ruffed Lemurs. There are many Bird aviaries, including endangered species. The enclosures, ponds, paths and visitor seating areas are all well maintained and the whole area is planted with trees and shrubs.
There is also a hard surfaced visitor car park plus cafeteria, gift shop, children's play areas and visitor toilet facilities. The zoo is being sold complete with all equipment, fixtures, fittings, website, quad bike and trailer and tools and has a full zoo licence which was renewed in 2014 together with 'Stock at Value'. The Animalarium has established links with colleges, Universities, schools for educational programs and with other zoos in the UK for animal exchange programs. The owners are reluctantly selling after 15 years due to retirement.
There is a further 4 acres of land now being used for grazing.
There is a cafe, a souvenir and gift shop.
There are two outdoor play area with climbing structures and slides. In addition there is an outdoor sandpit with 'Sit on' diggers, a Wendy house and wooden rocking toys, together with a indoor ball pool.

Accommodation - There is also the owners 2 bedroom bungalow which has hill and sea views and full planning permission to extend to four bedrooms.
Location - SY24 5NA

I just returned from a trip STL-MCO-STL this past week on WN. Both of the aircraft that I flew on were 733s. The first aircraft's engine noises were very loud and whiny, and you could easily hear the engine starting and spooling up. On the return leg, the aircraft's engines were much quieter and sounded very windy. What would cause such different engine noises on the same type of aircraft and airline? Has Southwest been upgrading their 733 engines?
Thanks for all of your help!

Dear Assessors,
Welcome to my second Assessor Bulletin.
It has been noted that some Assessors are not aware or entirely sure of the rules and regulations covering Centres or the requirements for the Assessor (s) and Centre on an annual basis, therefore this bulletin will reconfirm what must be done in order to maintain both statuses.
The content of this bulletin does vary slightly from the guidelines and rules set within the Assessor kit in order to highlight specific information.
The full rules and regulations are contained within your Assessor kit for future reference.
Centre regulations
All Centres are subject to a verification visit; by way of an annual audit all Centres must have their annual audit the month prior to the existing renewal date, the month of the existing renewal date or the month following the existing renewal date. Should any Centre fail to have had their audit within this time frame then the Centre shall be suspended. The Centre Licence renewal will always be the same date, even if the annual audit takes place a month before or a month after.
An Accredited Training Organisation's (ATO) must hold a BICSc Centre Licence, if it is to train, assess and certificate BICSc qualifications.
An Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) can hold more than one BICSc Centre License, dependant on their business requirements.
BICSc reserve the right to categorise an organisation's Centre License.
BICSc reserve the right to grant a BICSc Centre Licence on a country-by-country basis.
A Centre approval can only be conducted by a member of the BICSc Verification Support Coordinator (VSC).
Centre approval may be declined if the organisation does not meet the criteria during the verification visit or if payment terms are not met.
A Centre Licence may be granted, subject to the organisation completing an approved action plan set out by the VSC, in the timescale set. Failure to do so may result in the Centre Licence being suspended.
A Centre Licence shall remain valid where an organisation is compliant with current regulations.
BICSc reserve the right to restrict a Centre from BICSc training and assessment, to a specific location or country.
BICSc, in agreement with the organisation, shall appoint a lead Assessor / Scheme coordinator. The lead Assessor is responsible for items pertaining to quality assurance.
At anytime, between annual audits, BICSc may request to visit an organisation to check quality assurance. Reasonable prior notice shall always be given to the organisation. An organisation that is unable to accommodate an inspection visit may have their Centre Licence suspended.
Failure to comply with reasonable requests made by BICSc may result in the Centre Licence being suspended.
An organisation must adhere to the Data Protection Act (1998). By that a Centre must:retain BICSc candidate/learner records securely for a minimum of 3 years. Once 3 years has expired, the destruction of personal data is to be carried out in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998).
Assessor Licence
All BICSc Licensed Assessors are subject to maintaining their assessment skills and knowledge without a gap of more than 12 months. To prove this a BICSc Licenced Assessor must request a minimum of 5 Skills Certificates within the 12 month period between annual audits. This does not include BICSc License to Practice (PBICSc) card request forms.
BICSc Licensed Assessors must be registered to a BICSc Licensed Centre.
BICSc reserve the right to categorise a person's Assessor Licence, dependant on the category of Centre they are registered to: Roaming - an Assessor to conduct BICSc assessments within the geographical boundary of the country they are Licensed. Static - an Assessor to conduct BICSc assessments at a specific site / location.
An Assessor approval can only be conducted by a BICSc verification support coordinator (VSC).
BICSc Licensed Assessors must hold as a minimum a current BICSc License to Practice (PBICSc) card and 7 skills contained within the BICSc Cleaning Professionals Skills Suite (CPSS 2.0).
A person may be declined an Assessors License, if the person does not meet the criteria during the verification visit or the payment terms are not met.
An Assessor License may be issued: however this may be subject to an organisation completing an action plan set out by the VSC, in the timescale set. Failure to do so may result in the License being withdrawn.
BICSc shall provide a verification report following an Assessor approval. The report may include actions for the organisation to complete in a specified timescale.
The License shall only remain valid under the following conditions: The Assessor is not in breach of the BICSc Assessor code of conduct (can be found within the kit). The Assessor remains an employee of organisation that the License is registered to. The lead Assessor of a BICSc Licensed Centre, which the Assessor is registered to is confident with that person's ability to assess. BICSc verification team is confident with the person's ability to assess.
BICSc Licensed Assessors can only assess the BICSc skills, which they have been certified in.
When conducting an assessment, the BICSc Licensed Assessor is responsible for the safety and welfare of the individual.
BICSc reserve the right to suspend a person's BICSc Assessor License
An Assessor can have their License suspended by their lead Assessor if the lead Assessor deems it appropriate. BICSc must be notified immediately of the action taken.
BICSc reserve the rights to restrict BICSc training and assessment to a specific location or country.
BICSc shall issue each BICSc Licensed Assessor a certificate of competence and plastic ID style card (specified Assessors may differ due to circumstances).
The award of a certificate of competence demonstrates that the Assessor is able to make decisions about the competent training of others, is able to identify both good and bad cleaning practices and is committed to professional development of the Centre, self and others.
In order to renew a BICSc Assessor License, the Assessor must be present at the annual audit and demonstrate their competency as an Assessor.
If due to circumstances an Assessor is not able to attend the annual audit, the lead Assessor must seek permission from BICSc to renew their Assessor Licence in their absence. An Assessor cannot be missing from 2 consecutive audits and still retain their BICSc Assessor License.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support and wish each and everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
Changes for Assessors in 2015!
LBICSc in the Handbook
In August 2014 BICSc commenced the CPSS to CPSS 2.0 exchange for all Centre's and Hubs. The exchange takes place when your Centre or Hub receives its annual audit.
One of the many changes that you will see, is that your Assessor Card will reflect the new grade LBICSc (Licenced Assessor). Although not all Centre's and Hubs have had the opportunity to upgrade to CPSS 2.0, in the forth coming 2015/2016 BICSc Handbook Assessor will be shown under their new grade as LBICSc.
New Postage Rates
Whilst BICSc have held off increasing our postage prices for a long time, UK postage price are contently increasing and we have had to revise our postage rates for the items shown below. These rates will become effective from the 1st of January 2015. Please click here for new rates.
BICSc have teamed up with HMCA to offer members and their families a range of medical health cover and related products. Hospital and Medical Care Association are specialists in offering voluntary benefits exclusively to members of professional and trades associations and membership groups.
HMCA have over 30 years experience dealing with over 700 Associations in delivering first class service at highly competitive rates.

"From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say. It's about these other things that you don't say."
"[I'm] trying to develop a new topography, a topology that can still be space. That is the mathematics in the real world. It's an equation, or a new speculation, with a real object like the car or the elevator, the ping-pong table or the billiard table, or the skull- a speculation related to space, topography, mathematics, and the logic of the object itself, transformed to make it clearer but, at the same time, something else."

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

... creatures. It was such an awesome thing to see. The journey home began on the 1st of November. We took a boat ride at 8 AM from Nosy Be to Ankify. The boat ride was an hour long, we then took a Taxi Brousse to Ambanja where we were on a 15 passenger vehicle, however of course to make more money we were holding 29 passengers and bursting at the seams! We then waited in Ambanja for two hours before the long haul back to Tana. In Ambanja we experienced the ...
Ferry across the Mersey . . . . . .
. . . . well actually we never did get a ferry across the Mersey. We used the train instead to reach The Wirral and the town of New Brighton having travelled from Derby via Crewe and Liverpool Lime Street.

The weather was dry but cloudy and the temperature was 5 degrees as we left Inverness on Sunday morning for our drive to Liverpool. We had the advantage of an extra hour of sleep because the United Kingsom went onto (or came off) daylight saving in the early hours of Sunday morning and we had to wind the clock back an hour. The United Kingdom is now 11 hours behind Tasmanian time.

- Personal Thoughts:
- Super excited to share photos of my Seth costume finished! So much hard work and time later, it was all totally worth it! I have to thank my friend TJ for helping me with the tuning fork staff. He was always there to help me ever step of the way knowing that I've never done props before.
This was my entry piece this year at the Anime North Masquerade 2012! I'm very happy that the judges appreciated the efforts I've put in to making this.

About Final Fantasy XIII's Linearity Issue
Scan most reviews of Final Fantasy XIII and you'll find a single accusation binding the lot of them: That Square Enix's action-roleplaying game is stiflingly linear, undeviating for too long, and restrictive to a fault.
GamesRadar: "2D side-scroller levels of linearity."
CVG: "15 hours of dead straight single-path linearity is a little overkill."
1UP: "Chop -- there goes the nonlinearity."
GameSpot: "Exceedingly linear exploration and character progression."
Wired: "Final Fantasy XIII is relentlessly linear."
They're not wrong. The game leads off straight as an arrow, though it opens wide dozens of hours later, with as much to explore and accomplish on your own terms after you've polished off the Big Bad as there was leading up to the main story's frenetic final beats.
But let's talk about those "linear" opening hours, because they're on everyone's lips.
When the game begins, after the pre-rendered intro deposits you on The Hanging Edge inside a kind of electric green shell, your first chance to interact is a battle. Your second is a follow-up battle to the first. And your third? A stroll along a wreckage-littered sky-highway toward...yep, more battles. With rare exception, Final Fantasy XIII's following 25 hours are battles followed by more battles punctuated by non-interactive story exposition. You control the rate of advance by steering your party at or away from enemy mobs, but that's all the control on loan at the outset.
Even classic RPG-like features get the boot in an attempt to excise all gameplay flab.
Towns? You'll encounter several in the game--as detailed as they've ever been--but here you battle through them instead of dropping by during interludes to solicit trite one-liners from wandering folk, or to grab a few winks and heal up at an inn. Shops? Snipped along with the leisure side-trips and melded instead with the save point system. Access a save node in Final Fantasy XIII and you'll have the option to browse themed shops that start with just a few simple items, cycling in more advanced stock as you progress.
Why cut that stuff? Because trawling for shallow chitchat and to identify weapon-armor-item stores is frankly--hands over ears, hardcore fans--down-tempo and disruptive. As well, because Final Fantasy XIII's major narrative plays out over a brief span in story-time. Sandwich an entire world to explore between the major plot beats instead of toward the end and you compromise your ability to establish then maintain brisk pacing.
As such, Final Fantasy XIII looks less like a roleplaying game and more like a battle simulator than any of its predecessors. In fact it probably has more in common with its 'Tactics' series offshoot: Discrete battles linked by automatic narrative development. Instead of turns, the battles play out in real-time, but the basic formula's similar.
No surprise then, the fully unlocked battle engine's a beast to master, so you're eased in, a chapter at a time, grappling with concepts like: Queuing costly commands in real-time. Staggering enemies to ratchet up damage. Switching "paradigm" party roles (tank, nuke, healer, etc.). Summoning Eidolons to fight by your side in "gestalt" mode. Using pheromone-like "shrouds" to startle enemies. Upgrading weapons from weird-sounding bric-a-brac. Scanning enemies for performance intel, so that the rest of you party can auto-engage optimally. And so on.
Battles are meant to function like puzzles, thus the battle ratings post-op that rate your performance and award better or worse (or no) items accordingly.
Even the character-leveling system--the "crystarium"--dovetails with the startup focus-approach to progression. You can tinker a bit with each character's forte, but at least initially, each party member's leveling along a fixed path with stop points dictated by the number of battles you're (again, initially) able to fight.
The upsides are huge. By restricting your freedom early on, the design team can predict what sort of party you'll be packing when you stumble into Area X to throw down with Mob Z. They're thus able to craft encounters that depend less on brute force and more on coming up with clever tactical solutions to battle puzzles. How you perform during battles matters more than all the item enhancements and ability buffs you've clapped together going in. All Final Fantasy games require this to some extent, but never like this--a highly sophisticated permuting combat system that works hand-in-glove to help you puzzle out hundreds (or is it thousands?) of thrilling encounters. All the while, you're chewing up story by the yard, forming a kind of relentless dual-channel info feed--battle to story, story to battle--competing to keep you riveted.
Once I stopped expecting the game to be Final Fantasy XII (that's '12', the last in series) with prettier graphics, I relaxed into the focused-progress approach and found it almost liberating. Instead of killing time poking around lifeless villages with zombie-dumb citizens and generic shops, I was hurtling along at warp speed, grappling with increasingly elaborate battle tactics, no two enemy encounters alike.
Linear? Yes. But linear with purpose, and I'd argue 'elegance' as well.

Cypress Gardens – Moncks Corner, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Berkeley County Photos | Cypress Gardens
Azaleas bloom along a sun-dappled path at Cypress Gardens, located near Moncks Corner in Berkeley County. Cypress Gardens was created in 1909 by Benjamin Rufus Kitteredge on the original rice fields of Dean Hall Plantation. Today, the walking paths through the gardens follow the tops of the dikes. Kittredge opened the gardens to the public in 1932.
Cypress Gardens showcases the unique natural environment of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Below is a photo of cypress knees, or the knobby, woody formations that grow vertically from the cypress tree's (Taxodium distichum) root system. Scientists still do not know the purpose of knees but suspect they might have multiple uses as a sort of "snorkle," bringing oxygen to submerged roots, and to anchor the massive trees during storms or even acting as a hedge during such events. While the functions of knees are only hypotheses, their mysterious beauty is synonymous with a cypress swamp.
170 acres of gardens and swamps are so evocative of South Carolina's timeless beauty that the property has been used as a set for over 15 movies, including The Patriot, Cold Mountain, The Notebook, and not surprisingly, Swamp Thing.
The above photo is of a foam bridge that was used as a prop in The Patriot. Visitors to Cypress Gardens can have fun trying to locate the many props that were left in tact after filming.
Every day except major holidays, visitors can walk along trails which wind through lush gardens or paddle flat-bottomed boats into the swamp for a close-up view of the cypress and tupelo trees, birds, turtles, and sometimes even alligators.
To make a day of it, there's also a Butterfly House, a Swamparium with live exhibits of fish, amphibians, and reptiles native to the swamp, and a gift shop.
If you do plan to visit Cypress Gardens, be sure to plan several hours. Its captivating beauty is not to be seen in a rush.

This review is from: AVerMedia C027 AVerTV HD DVR
does exactly what it says and what is expected. i may get a couple dropped frames while it's recording but it doesn't happen very much. i have no idea why, but i can play modern warfare 2 online with no problems (latency issues), but in rockband while playing i had to change the video delay to about 60-65ms
other port should be configurable as another hdmi.
