Heat the olive oil in a large pan, then tip in the onion and garlic. Cook over a moderate heat until the onion has softened, about 5 mins. Stir in the tomato purée, then pour in the chopped tomatoes and basil leaves, and bring up to the boil. Turn the heat down and leave to simmer for about 15 mins until thick and full of flavour. If you like a smooth soup, whizz the mixture at this point to form a smooth sauce. Can now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month.
To finish the soup, tip the tomato mixture into a pan. Spoon the baking soda into a small bowl and pour over 1 tbsp or so of the milk. Mix together until there are no lumps, then tip into the tomato mix and pour over the milk. Bring up to a boil (the mixture will froth, but don't worry – it will go away). Gently simmer for about 5 mins until ready to serve.
Emma says...
Creamy tomato soup is the stuff of childhood, and it's simple to make yourself. I didn't want to overload it with cream and came across this idea of using baking soda when I lived in America – it stops the milk from curdling. Don't worry, you won't taste the baking soda at all.

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before trying this some of them were very negative or saying add this/don't use this. I made it just as the recipe said. Three large bowls of perfect tomato soup. I was a bit worried about the baking soda but it worked just as the recipe said. (I used baking powder). Thanks Emma.
Tried this recipe as it had 4 stars.....
Should have read the comments first! It was very insipid and I didn't like the thin layer of red which disguised the milkiness which lay below.
Probably won't try it again, even doubling the volume of tomatoes, adding sugar and using potato or similar as per the comments. If you think anything of your readers, maybe it should just be deleted or at least re-tested and re-written.
(Don't normally have many failures with your recipes!)
There is no need to add soda: when you are softening onion and garlic add a finely sliced potato as well, the starch will help giving it that lovely thick consistency. Basil should never be cooked for long, better add it at the end, just tear it with your fingers and stir it in. If you prefer to blend everything, put it in during the very last run of the blades. Just a good pinch of regular sugar is necessary to balance the acidity- no milk required!
I've just made this recipe, I'm not sure about it yet. Even with the two tins of tomato, extra tomato puree, only 300ml of skimmed milk it still tastes milky and tomato-y enough. I'm leaving it to cool before I try it again. It's a shame cause it was delicious before I added the milk, but obviously not liquidy enough for a soup. I also didn't have any brown sugar as per the comments but I had demerera sugar, let's just say I'm glad I put a little in a side dish to see if it would work, cause it did NOT.

The Camera Bag GuideCamera Bags- What to consider when purchasing a bag
First, ask yourself these four questions:
1. What purpose do you need the bag or case to serve?
2. What will you need to fit in it?
3. Where will you be taking it?
4. What's your budget?
Second, consider your answers as related to the following items: Size, comfort, design or style, accessibility, material, and brand.
Size will be determined by how much gear you will need to be taking with you. If you need just one SLR body, one lens, and a few small accessories like extra batteries and cards, then a small size case will be fine.
If you want to take more than one lens, and more attachments like a flash, then a medium sized bag is minimum.
Carrying multiple camera bodies, a variety of lenses and accessories? Choose a large size bag.
As far as comfort goes, different bags will be more comfortable to some than others. This is more based on personal preference, but if you will be carrying a bag on your shoulder or back, it's probably a good idea to to pay attention to the straps, specifically the length and padding. A bags shape may also be a factor in comfort.
The thing to consider for accessibility is- will you be bringing a case and then sitting it down while you're shooting, or will the bag be on you the whole time? If the bag will be attached to you most of the time, then it needs to be a bag that you can easily get in and out of. For example, a press photographer covering a breaking story or event will most likely need their bag on them and be able to quickly get in and out of it to switch out lenses. A backpack is not the best case for this situation, but better options may be a shoulder bag or a large hip pack.

Case Pros and Cons: (The following is pros and cons that I have personally experienced with the collection of cases that I own and use. If you have something different, or a different viewpoint, please share it in the comments.)
Canon shoulder bag- This bag was great for awhile but is now either too small or too large for most things. It does have nice padding and compartments. Has the brand on the outside which obviously says "camera bag".
Hip pack- Small, convenient, great for shooting events. Usually it's a secondary bag on a shoot when I need to have an extra lens, cards, batteries, etc. close by for quick exchanges.
Epiphanie- Looks like a large purse. Too small for any involved shoot, but great for day trips where I need minimal equipment, can combine my purse and camera bag, and doesn't look like a camera bag.
Medium size rolling backpack- Great for air travel. It's small enough to carry on, has wheels which saves my back and shoulders during transport.
Large waterproof backpack- Tons of space, don't have to worry about the weather. Great for outdoor photo adventures when you need to bring a lot of stuff. Cons- When it's full, it's heavy!
Other Tips:
I recommend having a few different bags if you shoot a variety of things in a variety of places. For example, a large backpack or hard sided case with wheels for traveling, a small case for day trips where you can pack light, and a good "all around" medium sized bag. If you tend to only shoot one thing and always carry the same equipment with you however, then multiple cases may not be as helpful or necessary.
Don't forget to consider what else besides your camera(s) and camera accessories (lenses, flash units, etc.) you may need to be taking with you. If you use a tripod often, your best bet may be a backpack with a tripod holding feature. If you take your laptop with you, then a multi-media camera case may suit you better.

The registration period for the Diversity Visa (DV) Program, also known as the "Green Card Lottery," officially opened yesterday. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Visa Services David Donahue and other officials from the Bureau of Consular Affairs gathered in a State Department conference room just after noon to witness the entry of the first official applicant for this year's program, which now includes the countries of Poland and South Sudan. The group cheered the arrival of application after application as they tracked tallies from each country.
Every year, the Congressionally mandated DV Program makes 50,000 permanent resident visas available to citizens of countries that have historically low rates of immigration to the United States. From year to year, certain nationalities do or do not qualify for the program due to recent rates of immigration for their home countries. In this latest program, citizens of Bangladesh do not qualify, while citizens of Poland do qualify after being out of the program in recent years. The newly independent country of South Sudan has also been added to the list of qualifying countries.
This year just over 3,800 applications arrived within the registration's first 30 minutes. Last year's registration period ended with over 19 million applications. The registration period this year will run 32 days.
The entire Diversity Visa process, from registration to interview scheduling, is electronic. Electronic registration became the standard process several years ago in an effort to combat fraud. The online process places control of information flow in the hands of legitimate customers only.
This year as in years past, scammers and swindlers are already looking to defraud innocent persons around the world. The Department has already seen messages going out telling the recipients that they have been selected in the program and asking them to pay in advance certain registration or processing fees.
There are a few key points that make such scams easy to detect:
- The Department of State does not inform applicants of their status by email. Instead, at a time to be announced in 2012, applicants can log-on and see for themselves if they have been selected.
- Selected applicants must then attend an interview at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. No fees are paid in advance of that interview.
- Fees are paid directly at the Embassy. The Department does not collect fees by wire transfer or money transfer agencies.
Entries must be submitted electronically through the DV Program website, www.dvlottery.state.gov. Entrants must save their confirmation number after registering because they will only be able to check their entry status through the DV Program website. Selected entrants, who are drawn randomly, will also visit the website to find information on the date, location, and time of their visa interview.
Entries for the lottery may be submitted electronically through 12:00 p.m. EDT Saturday, November 5, 2011.
A special briefing about the DV program at the Foreign Press Center can be viewed here.

This program seems completely nuts.
Is visitor required to provide a health certificate to show they are not carrying a contagious disease or new bioweapon into the US?
Are US intelligence services allowed to override your decision to exclude someone, and if so, is that reason fully documented?
Who is assigned to verify that visa applicants actually exited the US when their visa expires?
What happens when you can't locate them after their visa expired?

State pension system portfolio is reboundingBy David Taube
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | November 29,2012MONTPELIER A $3.57 billion portfolio for the states pension systems is still recovering as the Vermont Pension Investment Committee continues tweaking the diversification of the states portfolio.
The market value of the entire portfolio is still below the level where it peaked in 2007. As a consequence of the recent financial downturn, by January 2009 it had been reduced in value to $2.1 billion and has been inching its way back ever since.
As part of the recovery, restructuring steps have been gradually implemented. A traditional portfolio of 60 percent equity, as in common stocks, and 40 percent in bonds is much more diversified now more conservative and cautious, leveling out dramatic dips and spikes depending on the market, the committees chairman, Stephen Rauh, said after its meeting Tuesday.
High volatility is kind of destructive for long-term rate of return, Rauh said.
As of Oct. 31, equity investments, which include common stock, were 33.7 percent of the portfolio, and fixed income which includes bonds, emerging market debt and securities protected from inflation was 34.9 percent. The rest consisted of 20 percent in multi-strategy investments and 11.4 percent in alternatives.
Given the approach, the plan will tend to underperform in good markets but perform better in bad markets, committee members say.
Part of that approach includes a $65 million contract for private equity, a new area to diversify the states pension portfolio. The committee gave its approval for the state to negotiate in May with the global firm HarbourVest Partners, and the state is beginning to invest the money over a long-term schedule.
The total portfolio covers pension funds for state employees, teachers and municipal employees and has had a rate of return of 9.8 percent during the last year as of Oct. 31. The rate was 10.5 percent over the last three years and 6 percent since 2001.
We kept assets and we held them and waited for them to recover. So part of what youre seeing is a rebound, committee member Vaughn Altemus said afterward.
Alternate committee member Tom Golonka said after the meeting that the portfolios recent returns were a good sign, pointing to the funds performance being in the top quartile of its peer group.
But its unclear how that will continue given forecasts, Golonka said.
Committee members recently received a copy of an analysis by Clifford Asness of the Greenwich, Conn.-based investment firm AQR Capital Management, which provides a bleak outlook.
The report suggests that, based on a Shiller price-earnings ratio, the average real stock market return over the next decade will be 0.9 percent, ranging from a worst-case scenario of negative 4.4 percent to 8.3 percent in the best case.
Rauh said after the meeting that some investors expect to have portfolios invest their way out of market failures but that the teachers plan can least afford risks at this time. According to sunshinereview.org, the plan is around 65 percent funded.

Dave Pallone paced the front row of Anderson Auditorium, decked out in his Boston ball cap, with the same passion behind his message.
He detailed his first Red Sox game at age 11, one of the loves of his life and then losing him to an accident, his countless games making calls for the MLB, and the double life that wore on him for decades of living his dream.
"I knew right then and there that I had to tell the world who Dave Pallone truly was. No pun intended, but I needed to set the record straight about my life and all about who I was," Pallone said.
Pallone told the rows of Edgewood College students about that spring back in 1988, before most of them were even born. His deepest and darkest secret was revealed, and his family and friends found out in the newspaper.
"Baseball found out that I was gay, and they abruptly fired me," Pallone explained. "They took my childhood dream for no other reason than for who I was. It was as if someone came into my body and ripped my heart right out of me."
Since then, Pallone wrote his autobiography, a book that catapulted him into the nationwide speaking circuit. Edgewood College was the latest stop, but he keeps preaching acceptance, pushing for a change in any sexuality stigmas in sports.
The talk is timely, with the prospect of the first openly gay NFL pick in this year's draft.
Edgewood College Athletic Director Al Brisack wanted Pallone's visit to spark conversation between players.
"That's our job. I mean, our job is to not only teach them the skill of the game, but also to educate them and prepare them for life," Brisack said.
Brisack said he has to tackle new issues in collegiate sports almost every year. For instance, he mentioned the NCAA is starting to look at how to integrate transgender athletes into teams.
"To be able to present that in a way with someone who 'was a jock' is going to open their eyes and help them understand a little bit, oh they're just like me, just have different things that they like or dislike or look different," Brisack said.
The talk hit close to home for tennis player Kristen Boone. Boone's brother opened up to his family about his homosexuality in the last year. She believed it will only take one professional athlete coming out as gay to make it possible and probable for others to do so.
"It creates this sense that everybody has to be one type of person, and you're not really being yourself, and they are being somebody that fits the quota of sports or society, and you don't really get to know that person," Boone said. "And it's so sad that they are having to hide what's really them and who they are as a person."
Pallone continues to tour the country, targeting college-age athletes with his story.

So, at A-Z Animals we have prepared a number of palm oil free recipes for you to enjoy!

Perhaps because it sticks to you as if it had claws? Let's wait for one of our resident etymologists to explain the connection... and welcome, Gizmo.

Well, I am not only interested in etymology, but am also a practising radiation oncologist. There are loads of medical books explaining the etymology of "cancer". "Cancer" or the Greek "Canker" means "crab". Although one is not certain who coined this term, most books agree on Galen (which is sort of ironic, as he was a Roman physician and chose a Greek root; but then doctors have always loved esoteria... :-) ) Anyway, the term comes from the descriptive pathology of a usual malignant tumour (malignant is important, because you cannot/should not term benign lesions as cancer; and more importantly, or relevantly, the ancient ones recognised the entity of malignant & benign, and chose to name only the malignant one as "cancer"!) which spreads its claws in all directions, much like a crab, and has a tenacious tendency to hold on to the parent tissue even when resected, again like the creature.
Hope this helps.

Hi! The info I have is in the same line. The word crab seems to have been used by classical greeks because some breast tumours, namely a type called "scirrous" gave -it is not the case today unless left without therapy- the breast the appearance of having been attacked by crab´s claws. I am a medical oncologist, and yes I have interest in ethymologies, as the origin of words give clues to the history of them, and old meanings, and meanings in different cultures give light to unsuspected connections, e.g. God,Gott, gauthi, gotha, ghost, gheist, Deus, Eloi, Allah, El-Al, Jainkoa, Dyaus, Zeus, Jupiter, Yahveh Adonay (Jhvh Dny) Juhuvah Adonayanam (jhvh dnynm), King, Koenig, Ganaka. Wikipedia contains a lot of resources on this

toward the end of the prayer. In a way, however, by doing
so he ignored many by remaining totally in his own faith.

The Latin for crab (and cancer) is cancer, whence English cancer and canker; the Greek for crab is karkinos, whence English carcinoma. Galen wrote in Greek and used karkinos 'crab' for the disease cancer; Aulus Cornelius Celsus used the Latin word cancer in his De medicina. Greek has both ogkos, i.e., onkos, whence English oncology) and kele) for 'tumor' ._________________________

Very thorough as usual James!
The only thing I can think to add is that the reason he would have written in Greek even though he was from a Roman family line himself, is that Greek was the linga franca of most of the Roman Empire at that time. Latin was the language of the Army and Civil Administration, but Greek was the language of the marketplace, science, religion and philosophy. It was only after the Empire split into East and West that Latin became more important in the Western half and eventually dominated European science and religion. Greek continued to be dominant in the Byzantine Empire. Galen also lived in Pergamum, at the more Greek end of the Empire. Of course if he live there now he would speak Turkish.

Chefchaouen: Morocco's best-kept secret
Morocco's tourist track isn't well-beaten, it's been thumped flat. Ask anyone who has been and the chances are they'll have visited some combination of …05 Dec 2016 • Greg Dickinson insert_drive_file Article
The Majorelle Garden, or Jardin Bou Saf, is a meticulously planned twelve-acre botanical garden, created in the 1920s and 1930s by French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886–1962), and subsequently owned by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. When Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the garden, which contains a memorial to him, while the street the entrance is in was renamed after him.
The feeling of tranquillity in the garden is enhanced by verdant groves of bamboo, dwarf palm and agave, the cactus garden and lily-covered pools. The Art Deco pavilion at the heart of the garden is painted in a striking cobalt blue – the colour of French workmen's overalls, so Majorelle claimed, though it seems to have improved in the Moroccan light. This brilliantly offsets both the plants – multicoloured bougainvillea, rows of bright orange nasturtiums and pink geraniums – and also the strong colours of the pergolas and concrete paths – pinks, lemon yellows and apple greens. The enduring sound is the chatter of the common bulbuls, flitting among the leaves of the date palms, and the pools also attract other bird residents such as turtle doves and house buntings. The garden became better known abroad when it was featured by Yves Saint Laurent in a brilliant reproduction at London's 1997 Chelsea Flower Show. Pierre Bergé and Madison Cox's Majorelle, A Moroccan Oasis is a superbly photographed coffee table book on the garden, sometimes available at Librairie d'Art.
When leaving the garden, ignore the taxi drivers waiting outside, who run a cartel and will not take you unless you pay well over the odds. The answer is simply to walk down to the main road and hail a cab there.
In Majorelle's former studio, housed within the pavilion, the Berber Museum kicks off with an exhibition about Morocco's Berbers, their culture and languages, and where in the country they live, before launching (in the next room) into a display of traditional Berber crafts, including textiles and carpet-making, and showing the tools used in making them, as well as the finished articles. There's even a beautiful but slightly rickety wooden minbar (mosque pulpit) from the Middle Atlas, decorated with Berber designs. The next room is dedicated to jewellery, all of it silver, as gold is considered unlucky in Berber tradition. The last room contains a display of Berber costumes from different regions of the country.

wonderful place to stay!
Very good location and good size apartment with all the necessities for our party of 8 people. Quite a few restaurants nearby and a subway station just down the street. We had a problem with the radiators that wouldn't stop heating and one of them had a broken knob. We called the agency who were very nice and helpful and sent a man to fix it - it didn't help though... Also it was litterally painful to shower in the apartment because of the water temperature that was constantly changing between either ice cold or burning hot, and that caused us quite a bit of frustration during our stay.
Besides from that the apartment was very nice and clean and with plenty of towels and we enjoyed our stay!
The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.
It is a really nice apartment. Our stay there was perfect. It has room enough for 4 people and it´s very clean and comfortable. In addition, it is located in the center of Manhattan, close to the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Times Square and many other interesting places to visit. I loved it!
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
Due to a maintenane problem with our reservation in Manhattan at apartment ref: 8329 we were transferred to another 1 bedroom apartment ref 8360 on W 45th street. The location was brilliant just off 5th avenue and the view from the apartment was amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the facilites at the CASA residence and the staff on the reception desk could not have been more helpful. We would not hesitate to book this property again on our next visit to New York and would hightly recommend it to anyone wishing to take a break to this amazing city. Mr & Mrs Ruddy (UK)
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
The apartment was centrally located as promised and seemed to have enjoyed a cosmetic overhaul relatively recently.
The outside of the building and inside communal parts were not to the same standard as the apartment which was a bit of a let down.
The apartment itself was clean-except the windows - but noisy due to absence of adequate double glazing which is essential as it almost directly sits at a busy cross street.

Long and hereto unsuccessfully, I've searched,
called several an unsuspecting Burns
(unrelated, I might add),
posted to Facebook & blog,
and even wrote a letter or two.
And finally, out of cyberspace a response.
A GGGrandson reads of the Coffee Roaster
and teases me with cousin-like thoughts,
but no email listed, no blog to follow,
no, oh, no way to contact you.
--- I meant no disrespect by the short-hand history-based name,
it just that with so many Jabezes in our family
I needed a way to differentiate one Jabez from another --
You know, Jabez, the coffee roaster and Jabez, the minister,
then the sons and grandsons of coffee roaster or minister,
And then on to their equally confusing cousins, the Jabez Burns McPhersons,
of which there were quite a few.
Now, one more favor to ask of the newly found GGGrandson of Jabez Burns:
Please send me an email. Look to the top right-hand side of this blog,
CONTACT should catch your eye.
Then an email will open the way,
for you and I to share pictures, stories,
and perhaps, a new-born friendship based
on this most interesting family (at least to me).
Looking forward to hearing from you,
and telling you of your GGGrand Aunt,
Mary Burns McPherson --- and hearing
stories of Great Grandpa Robert,
and your grandmother, mother and you.
Please, oh, please, do send an email
on its way to me.

After serving on the Steering Committee for last summer's "Get A Move On" Townhall, I was asked by the Civic League of Regional Atlanta to respond to three questions regarding the upcoming voter referendum on the Transportation Investment Act of 2010.
Originally, my responses appeared on their blog and in an e-mail newsletter. I've included the questions and my responses below:
What's good about the Transportation Investment Act?
When the Transportation Investment Act passed in 2010, it showed a genuine concern for the transportation issues here in Georgia, especially metropolitan Atlanta. Its passage also indicated a desire to address the failed attempts of the centrally-planned Georgia Department of Transportation attempts to improve the seemingly endless commutes for Atlantans. Legislators presented municipal and county officials an opportunity to work together to relieve congestion woes in a cooperative and efficient manner.
I appreciate the attempt, as well as the willingness to cede authority to bodies with stronger ties to the communities served in each region. Rather than attempt further planning at the state level, the TIA brings cities and counties with similar struggles and interests to the table. [Read more…]


text: Hey ladies. I am new here. I was So sick with the stomach flu over the weekend and couldn't BF my 3 month old DD. So I pumped and Hubs fed her. By Monday I was barely getting any milk. I kept pumping a couple of times a day just to check my supply. Tuesday I felt MUCH better, but still had very little milk. The next day I started fenugreek. DD doesn't seem to be v. hungry so I guess I could have been making less milk for a long time, but I am not even getting an ounce. She is making fewer wet diapers since I was sick. Is this normal? Should I call my dr? Or just wait a few days? I am supplementing her nighttime feedings with frozen, but I didn't want to dip into that supply! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jason Clark, spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), confirmed rumors about an incident involving contraband found inside a bag left behind at the Curt Johnson Visitor Center, located near the prison.
On June 22, night shift personnel found a bag at the visitor center. The center is not on state property, but is staffed by TDCJ personnel.
The bag had a note attached that said it was found at the center, Clark explained.
"A correctional officer found that, and saw that it was unusual and brought it over to the prison to search the bag," Clark said.
When officers searched the bag they found a half-gallon of vodka, more than $900 in cash, a quarter-ounce of marijuana and a pipe.
"All of those you can't have on state property, and the marijuana is illegal anywhere," Clark explained regarding the contraband items.
The next morning a woman called the prison and said she had left a bag at the visitor's center and she was trying to get it back. She spoke with the warden and tried to convince him to ship the bag to her via UPS.
During the conversation, the warden was careful not to let her know that the bag had been opened and searched. The warden gathered her information over the course of several phone calls, as she repeatedly tried her best to get the bag back.
The warden contacted the Office of Inspector General and passed along the information for their use in the investigation of the incident.
Finally, Clark explained, the woman apparently gave up on trying to get the bag shipped to her. She called the prison one more time and told prison officials that she would be flying into San Antonio, would rent a car and travel to Kenedy to pick up her missing bag.
When she arrived at the Connally Unit, OIG investigators were waiting there to meet her.
The investigators interviewed the woman and the woman confessed that the bag was hers.
The woman has not yet been arrested, Clark explained, because of some complicated circumstances regarding the alleged crime.
"At this point what is going to happen, is they have submitted it to the special prosecution unit, to determine the appropriate charges," Clark said.
There may be a grand jury indictment as a result of the incident, Clark said.

Two more MP3 music trainers for bass and vocals will be joining TASCAM's previously released guitar trainer. As well as providing the standard functions of an MP3 player with a 128 x 64 pixel monochrome LCD and 1GB of storage, the MP-BT1 and MP-VT1 are equipped with a direct input for a bass guitar or microphone, to integrate your own performance with the music.
Plenty of effects can be used to modify the music, such as altering playback speed without changing pitch, skipping and looping sections, eliminating or enhancing the bass or vocals, and of course tuner and metronome functions. What better way to learn and practice music yourself? Currently the T1-series from TASCAM (a division of TEAC) are only intended for Japan, but with a bit of luck, they may be released internationally.

God of War III ReviewBy Adam Sessler - Posted Mar 08, 2010
It's a fun feeling when a game causes the player's mouth to involuntarily open in a slack-jawed expression -- hopefully hidden from any outside observer -- as one is caught up in the creativity on display. God of War III is an achievement on all levels. It immediately becomes the standard-bearer for the genre and a monumental conclusion to the series.
The Pros
- Visual splendor has useful effects on gameplay
- Blends all of its best attributes into a stellar experience
- Finishes the trilogy on an exceptionally high note
The Cons
- One particularly inappropriate puzzle
- Remapped quick time events might frustrate some
It's a fun feeling when a game causes the player's mouth to involuntarily open in a slack-jawed expression -- hopefully hidden from any outside observer -- as one is caught up in the creativity on display. This occurrence happened numerous times throughout my playthrough of God of War III. Sometimes, it was due to the sheer audacity of the violence on-screen or the introduction of a Boss or location. Other times, it happened once the gameplay mechanics for a given situation became clear and it definitely occurred at the beginning, especially at the beginning.
GOW III picks up immediately at the cliffhanger ending of 2007's PlayStation 2 swan song with Kratos, sneering sociopath and son of Zeus, riding atop the titan Gaia as she and her colossal siblings climb Mount Olympus to wreak final vengeance upon the ancient Greek gods. What ensues is a breathless sequence that celebrates the technological liberation granted to the designers at Sony's Santa Monica Studio. The scale, camera movements, dramatic perspective changes and visual fidelity that once were relegated to the non-interactive and pre-recorded cut-scenes of the previous two titles are now happening in real-time with the player caught up in the middle trying to hold on, literally. The sheer exuberance of the opening sets the stage for a stunningly polished experience that hums with expert pacing and the ever-satisfying combat that has typified the series.
The Power (to Rip the Heads Off) of the Gods
While the opening of GOW III may crank it up to eleven, the game, wisely, doesn't maintain that velocity throughout and settles into some of the more recognizable tropes of the series. Kratos has to take out the gods of Olympus, and they're not too happy about his designs, which turns his ascent of the mountain into a trickier affair, requiring a power that can only be acquired through navigating combat challenges, puzzles and encounters with the wonderfully characterized denizens of the ancient Mythos. -- in particular, a gloriously unexpected realization of Hephaestus (voiced by Rip Torn) in a truly cramped corner of Hades stands out. The structure of the narrative in GOW III has matured considerably from the previous games, as the story folds back on itself, revisiting characters and locations to provide greater illumination to what's initially presented as mysterious and confusing. This far more gratifying storytelling provides a weighty sense of apocalyptic atmosphere, resulting in a deeply satisfying -- albeit slightly less than nihilistic -- resolution to this tale of revenge.
Revenge, in videogame terms, means killing a lot of things. As with all the entries in the God of War series, combat is the star here. The button inputs for combos remain virtually unchanged from GOW II, but how they execute on-screen is another matter altogether. The fluid animations present the mayhem with a degree of balletic precision; chaining combos is even easier with an increased sense of speed to the blades, and the sense of physical brutality has no match to any other game out there. The number and variety of enemies you encounter in a given situation forces a better appreciation of your repertoire of death-dealing maneuvers and the improved enemy A.I. and attacks (such as the Minotaur's charge) make blocking and entering into complex movesets a more strategic affair.
Your Tools for Deicide
Better yet are the introduction of three additional weapons to the standard blades (now called Blades of Exile) that actually bring something substantial to the game. All four weapons control with similar logic and all are extended from Kratos's wrists, allowing both long and close-ranged attacks, but with enough distinctions between them and advantages over particular enemies that I found myself frequently switching between them mid-battle. In addition, each weapon is tied to a unique magic spell; to activate the spell, you must equip the weapon. Thankfully, switching between weapons is real-time, as opposed to backing out to a pause screen to select one.
One new move, available to all four weapons, allows Kratos to grab an enemy from a distance and slam him into it, stunning the creature momentarily. While the damage is nice, the true benefit comes from the ability to ping-pong Kratos across the battle space, helping to keep that combo count high (and looking damn good while doing it).
Of minor concern to some players may be the decision to move the quick-time button prompts for finishing moves away from the enemy's head and to the periphery of the screen, where one's eye is rarely focused. The logic behind the decision is clear: obfuscating the gorgeous image on screen isn't desirable, but getting accustomed to looking away from the action takes some adjustment, especially on large television sets. Given that the edge of the screen, where the button prompt appears, correlates with the its placement on the controller, it becomes easy to look for movement out of the corner of your eye and instinctively know which button to hit.
A Challenge Worthy of Mere Mortals?
Perhaps the weakest elements of past GOW games have been the puzzles, many of which stand out awkwardly from the mythology of the games: Why would the gods impose minor block puzzles on man? Here, they fit far more organically into the game, and in many cases are deliberately designed by the gods to be puzzling. These sequences benefit immeasurably from the graphics engine, which allows puzzles constructed for the gods to actually have the scope of something, well, godly. There is one exception worth noting. Mid-way through the game, there's a rhythm-game challenge that overtly uses the iconography from the Playstation controller in the environment, as opposed to the quick-time commands that stand out from it. Both the nature of the puzzle and the imagery feel decidedly discordant with the looks and tone of the rest of the game and seem more suitable for a Rare platformer than in a franchise like God of War. The sequence is fleeting but regrettably offers the only tin-eared moment is an otherwise sublimely consistent landscape.
A Game Deserving of the "Epic" Designation
While all these elements stand apart as true accomplishments worthy of praise in GOW III, similar to Uncharted 2, it's how they are all combined in an elegantly paced action game that highlights the degree of talent behind the title. The game never settles into a reliable rhythm, since the type of gameplay that awaits around every corner is built to surprise; boss battles especially do not always arrive to conclude a level and may turn out to be the level itself. Camera movements in battle sequences may reveal a larger danger than was initially implied. The delicious fun in the game's design gives it a thrust that has little equal out there. While it's sizeable -- and demands to be played more than once-- time flew by as I found myself trapped in one of the most satisfying feedback loops of visceral pleasure that videogames have to offer. GOW III is an achievement on all levels. It immediately becomes the standard-bearer for the genre and a monumental conclusion to the series.

my stepdaughter and I were talking about this yesterday, so I dug up this old thread.

Anna's (also the name of my stepdaughter!) link is now http://www.bzzzpeek.com/ I believe.
just curious about onomatopoeia in other languages. :¬ )_________________________

May I suggest you name an animal and add the English onomatopoeia so the outlanders could add the comparative sound-word?

Ehmm.. it ìs important to know what produces or evoques the sound.
Is 'boing' not an interjection? We have a 'boink' and use it when people, specially children, bump their head, or when they drop a heavy object. What does 'ding'?

a bell goes "ding". a metal spring goes "boing". boink the way you use it would be bonk for me, and not really an onomatopoeia._________________________

GVSU to offer master's in philanthropy
Posted on April 30, 2014
Grand Valley State University will offer a Master in Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership (MPNL) degree beginning fall 2014. The new degree was approved by the Board of Trustees at its April 30 meeting in Allendale.
The MPNL will be housed in the School of Public, Nonprofit and Health Administration. In creating the new master's degree, the experience and expertise of Grand Valley's Johnson Center for Philanthropy was tapped. The degree will prepare graduate students for leadership positions in the nonprofit sector.
The board also approved a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry. Grand Valley currently offers five emphasis areas in the chemistry major: professional, technical, environmental, education and biochemistry and biotechnology. Of these, biochemistry is the largest with 45 percent of the majors who have declared an emphasis.
At the Academic and Student Affairs Committee meeting, members heard recommendations from the Internationalization Task Force. Mark Schaub, co-chair of the task force, said the No. 1 recommendation is that global learning be taught to students in every major. Another recommendation was to include global learning in more co-curricular student activities.
Members of the task force held town hall meetings last fall and compiled results from a survey of the campus community regarding global learning. Survey results are online at www.gvsu.edu/internationalization.
Other academic year highlights from the Padnos International Center included a record number of international students (378), Grand Valley ranked fifth in its class for study abroad participation, and the university tied for first for masters-granting institution for number of faculty Fulbright recipients with three.

By Ruth Ann Hales, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Agent, horticulture
City dwellers, who live in apartments, townhomes or condominiums, can garden just as easily as those with backyards.
Strawberries are a good place to begin. Look for certified virus-free stock and use sterilized soil to eliminate soil-borne fungi. In Colorado, Ogallala and Fort Laramie varieties are recommended for home gardens.
You also can grow tomatoes in back yard tubs. Ask for Verticillium and Fusarium (VF) resistant varieties when purchasing. Plant in a mix of peat moss and vermiculite which is commercially available. You can also make your own soil mixture: one-third rooted leaf compost to one-third topsoil to one-third perlite. Sterilize your own homemade soil by heating to 180oF for 30 minutes.
Small varieties suited for this purpose are tiny Tim, small fry, patio hybrid, presto and toy boy. Other varieties such as better boy, red express and sweet 100 also can be grown in containers but will need staking and pruning. Peppers and eggplant also grow well in containers. Candle light is a cute ornamental pepper with small fruit well suited for this purpose.
Other vegetables, such as pole beans, cucumbers and peas, can be grown in containers if they are trellised. Leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce or spinach, are container possibilities. Colorado State University has tested several spinach varieties that will not "bolt." They would be good for a tub garden. Suitable varieties include Indian summer, medania and tyee.
Three problems are specific to container gardening in Colorado. Containers dry out, they freeze and salt residues build up. You'll need to check soil moisture daily by digging down two to three inches. Mulching plants and grouping them together helps reduce moisture loss. Tubs and containers with wheels come in handy when unexpected frosts occur; they easily can be rolled into warmer areas.
Heavy fertilizing of container plantings can lead to tip burn on fruits and vegetables; this can be a symptom of salt buildup. Remedy this by leaching with top watering and going easier on the fertilizer. Drip irrigation systems use water very efficiently, but they easily become clogged by salts and minerals found in Colorado water. On a small scale, however, these symptoms are easy to clean.
Homeowners with enough space can increase the quantity and quality of their vegetables by growing them in a raised-bed system. Most Colorado soils suffer from poor structure and should be amended. Once soil problems are corrected, garden planning is most important. Use techniques of succession planting to keep areas in production. For example, cool season crops started indoors and planted in raised beds will be harvested by the time hot season crops, such as tomatoes and peppers, are ready to transplant into the garden.
A technique called "espalier" also helps urban gardeners produce food using minimal space. Espalier means training young fruit trees to grow on wires. This technique is used extensively in Europe where gardening space is limited. Young fruit trees are trained to grow in shapes ranging from a single horizontal cordon to an ornate Belgian fence. Pruning encourages growth at various angles and enhances fruiting. Because the pruning technique restricts growth, dwarf varieties of fruit tree varieties are used in espaliers.
Espaliered fruit tree
Homeowners in small apartments with two or three sunny windows can grow a wide assortment of herbs. These smaller aromatic plants are used frequently in cooking and country decorations. They can be grown quite easily in small window box containers. For patio areas, herbs can be grown in clay, wooden or ceramic pots. Various mints, oregano and prostrate rosemary do well in hanging baskets. For potted herbs try basil, chives, summer savory and thyme.

Big banks can't find trading-flow mojo
Spring hasn't exactly sprung at the trading desks of big US banks.
As in the wintry first quarter, trading revenue for the second is likely to decline from a year ago, judging by downbeat comments from bank executives at a Deutsche Bank conference this week. And since many of the biggest banks derive a substantial portion of revenue from trading, that will weigh on overall results.
Citigroup finance chief John Gerspach, for one, forecast that combined revenue from trading in fixed income, currency and commodities and equities would drop between 20% and 25%. That confirms that a second-quarter drop in trading revenue predicted by JP Morgan in a securities filing earlier this month will be widely felt across Wall Street.
Indeed, through the end of April, bond-trading volume had fallen 13.2% from the first four months of the prior year, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. That puts this year on a path to be the lightest for trading since 2002.
Declining volumes aren't the only sign of continued trouble. Falling volatility across asset classes also has driven down revenue; price stability reduces bank profits from market-making activities. Daniel Pinto, head of JP Morgan Chase's investment bank, put it succinctly at the conference Tuesday: "If the market doesn't move, it's hard to monetize your flow."
Adding to the gloom, Citi's Gerspach said the second quarter "feels like the third quarter" of 2013. In that quarter, the bank reported results that missed analyst expectations, largely due to a fixed-income-trading swoon of 26%.
In addition to JP Morgan and Citigroup, broad declines in trading revenue would likely hit the bottom line of Goldman Sachs and, to a lesser extent, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley should be less affected, particularly if the decline is concentrated in fixed income rather than equities.
Perhaps surprisingly, banks don't want to blame regulations such as the Volcker rule for the trading decline. They prefer to point to transient market conditions. Mr. Pinto, for example, said investors have lost their risk appetite after making wrong-way bets that Japan's currency would decline and U.S. interest rates would rise.
In other words, banks still prefer to look at dwindling revenue as temporary rather than structural. This explanation, however, becomes less credible as "temporary" market conditions stretch on year after year.
In C.S. Lewis's novel "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe," a witch's curse made it "always winter and never Christmas" in the land of Narnia. It's starting to feel that way on Wall Street.

obviously we're not a championship team yet. who do you think will be the top 10 this year?
Hey now... let's be real, we've not going to be celebrating beating the Spurs in June 2006. Before i get killed for this thread... we are definitely moving in the right direction as a team, but just look at last years forum threads, optimism was sky high and yet on the ground we had a year to forget.
Just thing about it: $99 million payroll plus Frye ($1.7mill), Nate ($885K), Lee ($700), J.James ($5mill)... 17 players on the payroll (including H2O and Anderson) so that's already our max team unless we waive J.Butler who is signed for year... no one else to waive... that takes us to over $107 million
Let's take a look:
PG: Steph, Nate
SG: Q, Crawford, Penny, H2O (probably released)
SF: TT, Ariza, Lee (summergames playing him at the 3), Anderson (waived)
PF: Mo, Sweetney, Rose, JYD,
C: James, Frye, Butler
So we trade Sweets and JYD or another for Walker... still not a championship team... maybe 2nd round. We could win the Atlantic division (like we all said last year), but this time with a better team... this is what rebuilding is like people... the danger for Isaih is to trade TT and Penny to teams cutting payroll for another 2 over the hill past their prime stars... then continue to bloat our payroll for the next 5 years... as it is 2006 looks like a payroll of $100 million and depending on any sign and trades for walker and trading penny and tt... 2007 which is looking at about $50 mill with our new acquisitions, could be back at 60-70 million... that's now free agents for the next 3 years!
Let's settle in for the ride, it'll have some great times too... Nate, Q, Ariza and a few others... hopefully Crawford can blossom into the player he promises to be... hopefully Isaih's plan (which has changed big time since he has started) factors all this in and more
Man, I am looking forward to November rolling around!
Go Knicks!
obviously we're not a championship team yet. who do you think will be the top 10 this year?
if our team meshes well and plays D we should win the atlantic. if not, i think well still be around 500
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
i think we will be definitly above 500, but by 2007, i think we would be a much better team and go deep in the playoffs because TTs contract is over and pennys contract is over and we would get rid of alot of bad contracts so that makes us more flexible in the free agent market.
cmon...lets not be negative next year...cant say that kinda stuff... knicks are prolly gonna do way better then u guys are exzpecting...even thow we might not be a championship team....i still believe we can develope during the year to be one and go all the way in the playoffs..
imma stick wit the knicks even when s**t gets tough ...
imma tru knick fan for lyfe ...
This is not an easy time for the Knicks... the team i love! Just look at all the coaches that would not come here... sure LB is open to the idea - that's because he's a NY guy, owns a home in the Hamptons and $50 million over 5 years is hard to resist... i just think that isaih has a look of work ahead, and we have to be VERY careful with what we do... being trade happy is we have become known could really hurt 2007... we don't want to have to do sign and trades at other teams mercy forever... we want to sign people straight up in 2007 not beyond that... if that's the case good buy to Yao, Amare and Lebron... all restricted free agents then... all we have is draft picks which is good but will take time to develop
i dunno about the coaching frenzy.......i would like pat riley to come back to us, maybe bring back the knicks back in the days
With the roster we have now, I don't think we'll beat the Nets out for the Atlantic Division so easily. They got Jefferson, Carter and Kidd, who love to kill the Knicks. Although I think our roster is better, and we've added size which was our problem last year, I think best case scenario we'll split with New Jersey. James should help keep Kidd and Co. out of the paint, and as their roster stands right now, Carter is their only consistent shooter. The Nets don't have much depth, which will give us a chance. Boston looks like they are rebuilding if they do ship Pierce, Philly is overrated and we should beat Toronto.
Wanna see the Knicks sick Nate Dog on Kidd!
Everybody's an expert
on what everybody else
should be doing
ThWax said:
"We're not a Championship team this Year"
i dont think anyone within 50 miles of MSG said the word Championship
The knicks wont be a championship team until they get another all-star and get under the cap
Let's be realistic. The knicks have a shot at being a top 10 team this year, but they have no chance of winning a championship. Not for at least 3 years. No doubt about it, They've gotten back on track. I still don't think they're at this point any better than the celtics, and the nets(assuming they get abdur-rahim). Nate R was nice against nelson of orlando, but how much can you expect him to play behind marbury who will play at least 40 minutes a game? Unless Marbury gets traded (which would be a mistake because we haven't even seen Nate play an nba game), Nate will barely get any minutes. I'm not being negative. There's a difference between being negative and realistic.
im hoping nate does get at least 10-15 mins of playing time cuz marbury needs a rest...we rode him hard last year and he should play about 30-35 a game this season
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
we should deffinetly win the Atlantic, its the weakest division in the NBAOriginally Posted by pyotrveliky
With the Nets getting Abdur-Rahim at PF... they look real strong now with Kidd, Jefferson, Carter, Abdur-Rahim, Krstic... Antoine Wright coming of the bench... this is no easy team to could out in the Atlantic Division... Boston is no gimme either... the Sixers are on their way up with Dalembour, Green, Iguadala, Korver (all young and growing)... if Larry is our coach, who knows what the possibilities are!!!
One thing is for sure, the Atlantic Division is strengthening... not the bottom of the barrel any longer?
jersey has no depth tho. some1 is sure to get injured and you saw what happened with that last year. boston concerns me more i think cuz they have the veterans with a solid core of young players and theyre pretty deep. sixers are going nowhere with webber and korver is a poor mans allan houston. if dally gets minutes then we might have something to worry about.
