Not everyone is aware of all the services their local locksmiths can provide.
Wow, just wow. Had to update this - a couple nights after Mike fixed the cylinder lock, I had trouble getting in (turns out my door and inside lock needed to be replaced). I called Mike to see if he could assist. I was eventually able to get myself in, but Mike still insisted on coming by to see if there was any further adjustments he could make. He eventually replaced the entire inside lock with a spare (which he didnt' have to do), made some adjustments to how the lock hits my door frame and didn't charge me anything for his time in doing this. Let me stress that Mike had already fixed the cylinder lock the first time; this extra work was his awesome and generous service in full effect. I cannot remember the last time I had service this great. Locksmith Solution Services is the BEST Locksmith Company in Silver Spring, MD!!!!
i needed a deadbolt installed on my door and Jay was very helpful in choosing the right one for me without pressuring me towards the more expensive options. I made an appointment to have it installed that day but a couple hours after the agreed upon time I called to find out what had happened. Dave was extremely apologetic and got to the bottom of the problem right away. Turns out the guy that was supposed to install it had to go to the hospital! Can't be mad at a guy that literally couldn't make it to my apt. Nevertheless Jay told to pick anytime and he would personally install it, plus 50% off to make up for the missed appointment. The next day he was on time, friendly, efficient, and considerate.I will use them again. Locksmith Solution Services The Best In Town!!!! if you will need a Locksmith call them 301-969-3230.
Okay, I joined Online tonight just to leave this review. The dispatcher and David the locksmith were both awesome, really helpful and nice. It took about 20 minutes for him to arrive, and he explained each method he tried, and some information about my type of lock. The last time I had to have a lock opened, the guy took one look at my door (same one) and told me it had to be drilled, then charged $200 to do it. I was left with the replacement bill from my landlord, too. I told the Metro Master Locksmith folks about this, and they confirmed it's a common scam. They'll offer a low price, then drill and charge a ton. Thanks to David and Metro Master Locksmith Great Locksmith Service !!!
A professional locksmith company usually provides a host of services for residential, automotive and commercial needs. Locksmith companies can help out in emergencies if you're locked out of your house or car in the middle of the night. They even perform consulting work for businesses by recommending the types of locks needed to secure facilities.
Residential Help
Even if you consider yourself a responsible person and check your pockets or purse for your keys before you leave your house, you're bound to lock yourself out of your residence at least once in your life. Some people don't have a landlord to let them back into their apartments, while many homeowners forget to give a spare set of their house keys to family or friends.
In the event you're locked out and don't have any other options, such as a key hidden under your welcome mat, you will need to contact a locksmith service to get back into your residence.Trained professionals can pick your lock, allowing you to get back into your house or apartment and go on with the rest of your day.
Besides emergency services, a specialist can also change the locks on your home if you lose your keys or if burglars break into your home. Rekeying your residence can protect you and your property from criminals gaining re-entry.
Automotive Assistance
Did you leave your keys in your car? This is another common type of problem locksmiths solve. In the event you lock yourself out of your vehicle or your small child or pet is trapped inside your car, call a locksmith service.
Besides removing a stuck key from your ignition or picking your door lock, a specialist can also assist you if the locks on your glove compartment or trunk are broken.
Commercial Services
The locksmith industry must change with the times since many locks include computers and electronic parts. Computer chip-enabled security systems that use card swipe or fingerprint and eye scan technology are a new norm for companies seeking to protect their operations from intruders.
Locksmiths are adapting to new services for commercial enterprises by offering to fix or install electronic security systems. They also work with card locks and generate duplicate key cards just as they do for standard metal locks and keys. Some businesses also hire locksmith companies to install and maintain security cameras for their facilities.
If you find you're having trouble inserting a key into your door's dead bolt or regular keyhole, don't force the key through it. It could be that the lock's pins are jammed. Use a silicone spray to grease the keyhole so you don't do any damage to the interior workings.
Keep in mind that reputable locksmiths know how to pick a lock without damaging its exterior or inner mechanisms. Be wary of a professional who harms your lock or tells you he or she needs to drill it out and install a new one.
Besides receiving training on how to properly pick all types of locks, professional locksmiths carry a large number of tools that work with most any style of dead bolt or latch. Therefore, a scrupulous one doesn't need to damage or replace locks to help you gain entry into your home or car.
Emergencies can happen. Keys get stuck in a home's lock or break off in the keyhole, or car keys get caught in the ignition switch and you find yourself a long way from home.
It may seem like a catastrophe but it's a regular occurrence and happens to everyone. A locksmith can be the answer to your problems, but depending on where you are and when you call one, it could cost you quite a bit.
Pricing for locksmith services fluctuates, and trustworthy companies will charge you based on the time of day you need them and how far they must travel to get to your house or vehicle. It can be tempting, especially when you're in a predicament, to call the first locksmith you find. Since you might not have any other resort when you're in desperate need to get back into your house or car, it pays to research a few companies before an emergency arises.
Look for reputable locksmiths and program their numbers into your cell phone so you have a dependable professional to rely on in case of emergency.
Since a business will charge you more if it has to travel farther, do a search for one that's close to your house so the service people can reach you sooner and bill you less.
When it comes to your vehicle, look for companies that are located near where you're stranded if possible.
Since pricing for locksmith services isn't always consistent, examine the average prices for common jobs around your area. Locksmith Ledger International, a trade publication for the profession, informally polls its readers every few years to develop a national average.
The following is a list of the national average rates for common jobs:
Key duplication is generally inexpensive, but can run from approximately $4 for an American single cut all the way up to $72 for a new transponder car key, which includes electronic chips to lock and unlock your vehicle's doors and trunk.
If you lose your house keys or someone steals them, you may decide to get your locks rekeyed. Knowledgeable locksmiths use a tool kit to change the inner workings of the lock so it's no longer operable with the old key. It's a more cost-effective solution for ensuring safety than changing all your locks.
The national average for rekeying a lock's cylinder ranges from $5 to $22, while replacing the lock can cost up to $120.
Due to the voluntary nature of the Locksmith Ledger International survey, service rates could vary.
You want to find a locksmith service that can put you at ease, especially if you call them when you have an emergency. Give these best practices a try before making a selection.
Ensure the Company Has a Physical Location
A service without an office building could spell trouble for your pocketbook. Locksmiths charge by the distance they need to travel to reach your house or car. If their office happens to be a van, there's no telling where they are in town.
Also make sure that the business you choose has a local phone number. When you call a locksmith who lists a toll-free number, your request is going through a call center and out to someone who could be located anywhere.
Search for Locksmith Service Reviews
Before picking up your phone to call for assistance, do a search for local locksmiths and read through a few of their reviews. Pairing reviews with specific locksmith companies will help you narrow down your choices.
Browse Your State Locksmith Licensing Board Website
Some states require locksmiths to obtain a license to practice their craft, and a few, such as California and North Carolina, maintain searchable databases for licensed locksmiths working in the region. States that require a license include: Alabama, California, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
Check Consumer Protection Sites
To ensure you hire the right company for the job, check local consumer protection services websites to see if the locksmith business has any public complaints on file.
If it turns out that the service you want to hire has complaints filed against it, it may be best to move on and look elsewhere.
Avoid a potential scam by asking a few questions before requesting help.
Are You a Member of The Associated Locksmiths of America?
If the business says it's part of this organization, ask whoever comes out to your car or house if he or she has proof of membership and check it along with his or her locksmith license.
Does Your Business Go by Other Names?
When selecting an enterprise for the job, it's a best practice to ask if the locksmith company goes by any other names than the one listed online or in the phone book. To protect yourself against shady businesses, request the full legal name of the locksmith service. If the organization declines to give you its legal name or argues with you about it, they could be scammers. A full legal name isn't proprietary information and it shouldn't be a hassle for the company to provide it.
May I Receive an Estimate For the Work?
Get an estimate for the job whether it's to unlock your car door or rekey your home. This way you will know the amount you might need to pay. Also ask if there are any additional fees associated with the work.
After the locksmith completes the job, ask him or her for an itemized invoice that explains and details the cost of the parts and labor. You want to know how much the company charges for its actual work versus how much it's billing you for mileage.
Are You Insured?
A real professional shouldn't damage your locks when trying to pick them, but if your locksmith does harm the inside or outside of your locks, you don't want to pay for it. Hire a locksmith that's insured so making fixes for any faulty work doesn't come out of your bank account.
Do You Accept Credit Cards?
In this day and age, it's odd if a business doesn't accept credit cards as payment. However, some locksmiths do not take cards. You'll want to avoid these companies. Even though they might not be scammers, cash cannot be traced. If you end up unsatisfied with the work they do, you're responsible for the cost without any real means of getting it back.
Once your locksmith arrives on the scene, there are a number of things you can do to ensure you received a reputable professional and not a fraudster. Bona fide locksmiths will ask you for your identification before starting any job. They must make sure you're the homeowner, car owner or tenant before picking the lock. Be wary if the service person doesn't ask you for an ID.
If the price the locksmith quotes for the job appears to be very low or if the final bill is nowhere near the estimate, end the transaction.
Always remember that you can cancel the job whenever you want. Do not pay the locksmith until you're happy with the work. You can avoid scam artists by keeping calm and researching services before you're faced with an emergency. Therefore, ensure that any company you decide to hire answers all the questions you have. If they want your business, they should do their best to accommodate all your needs.

Violence must stopJuly 26,2014
Violence must stop
I have a soul sister who is Palestinian. She is an internationally known consultant (Master of Social Work, Rutgers, and Harvard Kennedy School fellow) who works around the world to heal victims of trauma. She lives in Ramallah and has a spirit and a heart larger than life itself. Laila was a student of mine, 30 years ago, when I taught English as a second language for the New Jersey Commission for the Blind. She became part of my family and I, a part of hers.
In 1992, I had the good fortune to travel and visit Laila, something we had always talked about. This was my second trip to Israel. During the first one, in 1982, I visited relatives of mine and worked on kibbutzim.
During this second trip in 1992, I also worked on an educational story project between Vermont children and Palestinian students. I traveled to Golan Heights and Gaza, visited many Palestinian families throughout the West Bank, talked with Palestinian artists, writers, activists, visited community and day care centers, etc. I also spoke with Israelis: those working for peace, Israeli kids and Israeli soldiers. I have never been treated so lovingly in all of my travels with a people who I feel embody all of the Jewish values that I was raised with: respect for elders and love of family, the importance of education, humor, a sense of the importance of community, generosity to those in need and a love of life itself.
I felt times were desperate for Palestinians 22 years ago.
I find myself very tearful and also very angry. How can we, as Americans, allow ourselves to blindly let our government fund Israel?
I am a second-generation American. I listened to hours of stories from my grandparents and great-aunts and -uncles of the poverty, prejudice, discrimination and limited opportunities for education and meaningful work they experienced in the early 1900s as Eastern European Jews. My fathers parents lost their parents, siblings and all relatives who did not come to America.
Time is pressing. The earth needs healing, and we are all connected. The physicists can now tell us scientifically what all true faiths and spiritual sages have always said: Separation is an illusion. By continuing to kill Palestinian civilians and justify this in the name of security, I believe Israel is acting like an adult from a family of physical and emotional abuse living and behaving in ways they vowed never to do.
I know that I am not alone in my deep reaction to the violence being committed with my tax dollars.

Ashley Birkholz, right, listens to valedictorian Jeremy Smith's address to the class during Portales High School commencement exercises Friday at Greyhound Arena in Portales. (Freedom Newspapers: Karl Terry)
By Helena Rodriguez: Freedom Newspapers
After roughly 18 years of life and 13 years of schooling, Richard O'Hare said the Portales High School Class of 2006 is ready to face the world, but asked, "Is the world ready for us?"
O'Hare's classmates applauded the observation as he gave the welcoming address during the PHS commencement at Greyhound Arena on Friday night in Portales.
Proudly donned in school pride, red gowns for the girls and black gowns for the boys, 164 students received their high school diplomas in an arena overflowing with family, friends and supporters.
One newly-tasselled graduate, Mario Alejandro Aguirre, will look into a career in the Marines, while another graduate, Kasie Cranford is not quite sure what the future has in store for her. But as their class salutatorian, Morgan Hill, said to her classmates, quoting Dr. Seuss, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."
Jeremy Smith, the 2006 valedictorian, refrained from graduation clichés as he addressed his class.
"We are a class which has continued old traditions, like winding Maypole, and we have also started our own traditions."
He then recapped the class' successes over the past school year, successes which have included numerous state championships, superior band ratings and more. He also made a joke about other traditions, such as Senior Skip Day, and talked about another strong tradition among his class which he said is a great sense of pride.
"At times, I'm excited about graduating and moving forward, but at other times, I don't know what to expect," Smith confessed. "But I challenge this class to start a new tradition, a tradition to never stop until success is ours."
Smith asked his classmates to applaud all of the teachers and educators present as well as their families and others who have supported them throughout their school years. He also encouraged his classmates to remember the people who love them, and more importantly, to know that God loves them, too.
"Class of 2006, this is our night. Tonight is a night that all of us have worked toward for the past 13 years," Smith said. "I challenge you to continue in our tradition of success ."
Smith quickly noted, however, that success is not about how much money you make.
"Measure success by what you can accomplish. Success is (becoming the person) who God wants you to become."

"Tough times never last, but tough people do." -Robert H. Schuller
It's a quote that Jamie Moyer seems to live by. For all of the bad days, weeks, months, or seasons Moyer has had throughout his 24 years in the majors, his resiliency has provided him a way out. Before Spring Training, when everyone thought he was through, Moyer shut everyone up by scoring a spot in the rotation. After an opening month in which his ERA rocketed to nearly six, he fought through it to drop it nearly a run in May. Following an absolutely disastrous outing against Boston on June 11, Moyer has settled in with back to back phenomenal starts.
Today, Moyer blew through the Blue Jays with relative ease in the Phillies 11-2 victory.
This quote also rings true when you think about where this team as a whole was a few weeks ago. Following that one inning, nine run drubbing Moyer was a part of in Boston, the Phillies have gone 9-5 – winning five of the last six – and have turned their season around.
Moyer continues to defy age each time he toes the rubber. His line was again spectacular as he shut down the home team, allowing just six hits over seven innings, with his two earned runs coming on a Vernon Wells home run in the third inning. Moyer fanned seven, his high-water mark for the year, which he's hit twice (FLA 4/17 and CHC 5/19). Somehow, someway, he is now tied for the team lead in wins with Roy Halladay (9).
Wells' homer was the 506th of Moyer's career, making him the record holder in home runs allowed, passing Robin Roberts at the top of the list. Moyer also surpassed 4,000 innings pitched, becoming the 40th pitcher in major league history to do so. He also jumped into sole possession of 35th all-time on the wins list with 267. The numbers continue to pile up.
"First of all, when you say 4,000 innings, that's amazing," said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, chiming in on the record-setting day. "Both times when I would see him pitch [in the minor leagues] I would say 'this guy might not get back'. Not only did he get back, but he stayed a long time."
Moyer took it in stride as he normally does, but did offer a modest statement on his impressive afternoon saing "I'm quite proud of being able to pitch 4,000 innings."
It's incredible to continue to watch Moyer mature as he progresses this year. Normally, that adjective is reserved for youngsters, however, Jamie is still learning on the go.
For Toronto, Brett Cecil was victimized by the Phillies offense, the second Blue Jays pitcher to get ripped this weekend. Cecil worked 4 2/3 innings and was pounded for 10 hits and seven runs (five earned). The Phils saw Cecil at a perfect time; just after he was lit up for 11 earned runs over his previous two starts against San Diego and St. Louis.
What really stood out was Toronto's inability to throw the baseball to each other. They committed four errors by the seventh inning which blew the game wide open for the Phillies. Jason Frasor was on the mound for the despicable display of defense from the guys behind him. He gave up four runs in the seventh, but all were unearned.
Firing on several cylinders (not all, see: Jayson Werth) was an offense that badgered Toronto into 13 runs and a bevy of mistakes. Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, and Ben Francisco all had three hits apiece and Dane Sardinha pitched in with a two-run double of his own that broke the game open in the second inning. With those 13 hits, the Phils have now reached 10 or more in seven of their last 11 games. The win also marked the first time they've finished with a winning Interleague record since '07.
Clearly, the toughest of times are over. It's now up to this championship-caliber team to once again strike fear into their opponents, something that has been lacking for the better part of the 2010 season. They're close, for sure, and Jamie Moyer has had something to do with this overall resurgence.

Congratulations to Jamie Moyer, who gives credence to the old adage "50% of success in life is based on just showing up." Nice game, too.

The guy is having a very good year averaging just under 7 innings a start with a WHIP 5th in the majors. He's completely outperforming expectations and you'll take a 4.30 pitcher with a 1.05 WHIP who gives you 7 innings and wins 2/3 of his starts in any rotation.
Jamie Moyer has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the NL this year and it shouldn't be demeaned.

NJ – Stop. I'm talking about his career. He's having a good year until he stops having a good year and god bless him for it.
The Dipsy
He's on track to maybe notch at least 15 wins, I would think. That's incredible.
Got to give it to Jamie, the old man is a work horse, just giving credit were it's due.
Jamie is HARDCORE. And any baseball fan who doesn't appreciate what he's done this year after coming back from groin surgery last year is a flippin' moron.
Oh, come on, Dipsy. Everyone who has a good year or several good years does so until they stop doing so. That statement is meaningless. Do you really think that a guy makes it to pitching as well as Jamie's been pitching this season, at age 47, by accident? By luck? That's absurd. And, moreover, you wouldn't ascribe the success of almost any other player to luck, but with your blind disdain for the Old Man, you ascribe his failures to pure lack of skill and his successes to pure luck. Anyone who watched the game today knows how wrong that point of view is.

The Dipsy has taken the stance that if you complain about something long enough, sooner or later, you'll be right …
so if he bashes Moyer all year .. when he has that rare bad start (like against Boston), The Dipsy can come on here and tell us all that Amaro signed him to a terrible deal, and Moyer should just quit, and he's no good unless the umpire gives him too much on the corners, etc..
Be a fan, be happy for your players …. Moyer has exceeded everyone's expectations.
and like I've said in years past.. if he was better at 45 than he was at 44, why can't be better at 47 than he was at 46. … He's still in the majors for a reason, he knows how to pitch, and how to give his team a chance to win
Forget the debate about Jamie, what gets lost in that is that in 2010 we were over .500 against the AL. And we didn't play the Orioles 6 times like the Mets. Whoohoo!
Very well said, Don M. It surprises me how few people genuinely seem to come on to this site to root for and support the Phillies, rather than rip them apart like vultures. Rather than waiting and hoping for Moyer to fail, a la the Dipsy camp, I choose to back the Old Man as long as he keeps dominating other teams and helping our Phils. He's well on his way to being our #3 starter for the season, and it would make me so happy if he kept succeeding and got a start or two in the playoffs.
Dipsy….question for you????….????
Should Ruben sign Moyer to a new deal for next year? And, if you think so, how much, etc, etc.
I have my thoughts. Just interested in yours on this (although I THINK I already know the answer).
And this question is really for anybody to answer…so feel free to expound….I just am directing it at Dipsy since he has his certain opinions on Moyer.
If Ruben Amaro does anything to extend Jamie Moyer anytime before the offseason, I will punch him right in the nuts
That would probably hurt.
In all seriousness, if Moyer continues like he is, I can see the Phillies maybe offering Jamie a one year deal laced with incentives. Nothing extravagent like this 2 year, $16M thing (or whatever it is).
But I definitely agree….Ruben should WAIT until the season is over before making that sort of decision.
I'll answer what Dipsy has said before Chuck "trade him". Its EXTREMELY sad that a Mets fan can "give credit where credit is due" yet the DIPsy continues to bash a pitcher on the Phillies. GIVE IT A FREAKIN REST. Im sure Moyer could care less about the record, as long as he put himself in a position to win. Imagine if a pitcher gave 1 hit every game, and that 1 hit was a home run. That would be 30 homers a season, to most people thats HORRIBLE, but that could be 1 run a game, or maybe depeding on errors or walks, could be maybe 4 runs a game. Pretty much impossible for a pitcher to go and and throw a 1 hitter everygame obviously, but the point isnt how many homers were given up, or the win loss record, but more, did the pitcher give the team a fighting chance to win.
Well done – you've just gained a new admirer 🙂
This is good- a good effort.
Great thoughts my friend – keep at it!

Stir It Up: An Irish tea for St. Patrick's DayPhoto by Steve Legato
These scones full of chocolate and walnuts are a delicious way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The photo and recipe are from "Irish Pantry: Traditional Breads, Preserves and Goodies to Feed the Ones You Love" by Noel McMeel with Lynn Marie Hulsman.
A few years ago, my neighbors organized a St. Patrick's Day tea. They served all sorts of Irish goodies: tea cakes, shortbread, soda bread, scones. It was a tame celebration, but a tasty one.
This year, St. Patrick's Day falls on Monday, which makes Sunday perfect for afternoon tea. Or you can get your partying started Monday with breakfast treats.
Just in time for the holiday is the cookbook "Irish Pantry" by Noel McMeel, executive chef at a resort in Northern Ireland. McMeel provides chapters on canning; pickling; potting and curing meats; condiments; and cakes, cookies, breads, biscuits and other sweet delights.
You could take your tea party in a savory direction — offering, say, homemade potted ham and chutney on homemade rye crackers — or stick with sweet offerings such as Chocolate and Walnut Scones and the Traditional Irish Tea Cake (see below). McMeel offers the cake recipe with an homage to his brothers, mentally and physically disabled since birth. Like them, he says, the cake epitomizes "pure goodness and a gift from God above."
Don't forget the Irish breakfast tea. Like English breakfast tea, the Irish version is a blend of black teas, but considered more malty in flavor. In the United States, specialty shops carry authentic Irish brands such as Lyons, Barry's, Bewley's and Nambarrie, but you are likely to find the Twinings brand of Irish breakfast tea in your supermarket.
"A cabin with plenty of food is better than a hungry castle," writes McMeel, quoting an Irish proverb. Open your "cabin" to your hungry friends and celebrate your inner Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
Chocolate and Walnut Scones
Yield: 10 scones
1¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks (1 cup)
¾ cup coarsely broken walnuts, toasted
½ cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using your fingers, crumble the butter into the dry mixture until you have a rough crumb, like tiny marbles coated in sand, then add the chocolate and walnuts and stir until mixed.
In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix with your hands, just until the dough comes together, taking care not to overwork it.
With lightly floured hands, tip the dough onto a floured work surface and press into a sheet about 1 inch thick.
Using a round 2½-inch biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut circles in the dough. After you've cut as many as you can, pull the remaining dough together and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake the scones on prepared sheet for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Place baking sheet on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer the scones to the rack to cool slightly. Serve while still warm, or store in an airtight container for up to five days.
Traditional Irish Tea Cake
Yield: 1 (9-inch) cake, or about 8 servings
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup confectioner's sugar, for dusting cake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Turn off beater and stir in the vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and stir into the batter. Stir in the milk.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack, then turn cake onto a serving platter and dust with confectioner's sugar. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to five days.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception ReviewBy Adam Sessler - Posted Oct 24, 2011
Adventurer Nathan Drake is back for another adventure in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. With less than two years between Uncharted 2 and now, has Naughty Dog had the time to craft another classic?
The Pros
- Seamless flow between gameplay and cinematics
- Gorgeous set pieces and a beautiful world to explore
- Improved melee system
The Cons
- Many of the plot points never go anywhere
- Multiplayer seems tacked on
- Lives in the shadow of Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception:
Uncharted 2 will stand the test of time as one of the seminal achievements in modern videogames, creating an exciting narrative interwoven with gameplay filled with production values and action set pieces that put to shame the paint-by-numbers American films that have been filling movie theaters for years.
With such accomplishments under their belt, it's easy to imagine the challenge Naughty Dog -- the developer of the Uncharted franchise -- must have faced in its decision to follow up the critically acclaimed game in just two short years with Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception: completely revamp a winning formula, or stay to the tried and true and try to top oneself. Naughty Dog wisely chose the latter and has produced a game that has little equal in its writing and production design, and yet, cannot get out from under the shadow of just about everybody's 2009 game of the year.
Are You Ready For Adventure?
In step with their own development schedule, the game takes place two years after the events of Uncharted 2 and delves into Nathan Drake's lineage to the English explorer, Sir Francis Drake, in particular, the ring from his (quite distant as we learn) relative that has hung around Drake's neck. This ring is one of many clues that may lead to a lost city swallowed in Arabian Desert, enticingly referred to as "The Atlantis of the Sands."
Once again, Drake, his intrepid and older comrade Sully, and others embark on another globe-trotting adventure, this time, hounded by a mysterious woman, Katherine Marlowe (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Helen Mirren) and her son, who are apparently part of some secret organization with endless resources and are determined to find something hidden within the city.
Now For Awesome Air-Kicks
Drake's Deception plays out in similar fashion to the games that preceded it, with its pitch-perfectly paced selection of precarious climbing sections, puzzles, and combat. Given the elegance of Uncharted 2, it's not surprising that most of these elements are largely unchanged in the new game.
Combat plays out with more dynamism, thanks to an improved melee combat system that allows enemies to flank and rush Drake more frequently without leaving the player in the uncomfortable position of trying to aim unsuccessfully at someone mere inches in front of him. The numerous animations and camera angles, which emerge based upon contextual inferences, keep the melee combat relatively fresh.
Perhaps most important is the classic action movie kineticism at play, particularly, an air-kick that sends the enemies' weapons into your hands. This elegant device moves the combat from its already strong narrative flow into an even closer evocation of Indiana Jones and his high-adventure brethren, proving once again that combat in games can be transformed from the repetitive to the inventive.
The melee combat animations seem to be part of an overall contextually sensitive animation system, which can be seen in small touches, such as when Drake's hand lightly brushes against the wall as he walks down corridors. The sensitive system that allows for moments of such elegance also creates an impression of instability; Drakes' movements can seem jerky, uncertain and rushed, which, given the fluidity in Uncharted 2, is unfortunate in a game that is designed to seamless ensnare the player in its rich and absorbing world.
The World's Your Oyster
The world is there to fall into. From its beginning, Uncharted 3 captures the franchise's unequalled ability to capture the sweeping romance and adventure of classic American cinema without holding the player at arm's length, only to return them to the more pedestrian presentation of the interactive portions. Cameras find stunningly dramatic angles during chase sequences, pull back to reveal the edifice that dwarfs Drakes and highlights his always-insurmountable challenges, and transition between cutscenes and gameplay with nary a pause or stutter. While it has been only two years since the previous game broke such ground in presentation, this aspect of Uncharted 3 still carries shock and awe, if only because nothing has come close to capturing its technical finesse or its creative application.
While a game like Heavy Rain has begun to open up the player's level of control over narrative, Uncharted taps into the creative within the player when presented with the semiology of modern fantasies: the need for the exotic to free us from the corporate drear, the soundtrack to maximize the transcendence, and the expensive camera shot to reinforce its significance.
Getting Involved In The Drama
Naughty Dog's careful attention to the drama in all aspects of the game has seen a refinement in Uncharted 3's pacing. In successive playthroughs of Uncharted 2, it became evident that the combat sequences could drag on and, in the final hours, could arrive with such repetitive force that their importance diminished. Uncharted 3, especially in its earlier sections, doles out gameplay elements with a far more generous sense of variety and expectation: climbing sequences are heavy with what's to be found on top, combat is designed more for the environment rather than necessity, and puzzles carry a strong sense of mystery that can open up the plot, all conspiring to even better engage the player and blend its various components into an essential whole.
It's that whole, so seductively promised as the game begins, that one slowly realizes will never materialize and invites the inevitable and uncomplimentary comparison to its predecessor. The major set-pieces that stand in memory from Uncharted 2 -- the helicopter chase and collapsing building, the train through the Himalayas, the tutorial sequence -- may be echoed here but are faint.
Dramatic and exciting events do unfold, but many feel obligatory and lack the boyish vitality that catapulted them from exercises in dexterity to visceral thrills of fantasy. A burning chateau, a rooftop chase, riding on horseback to stop a convoy, and the game's final sequence all feel small, or worse, retreads of what we've played before. To be sure, they play out in a satisfying fashion and have sparks of magic, but lack exhilaration, that essential and innate excitement. Instead, there emerges a somber exhaustion, as if the heavy expectation of surprise and awe dampened the creative flame.
Curiously Strong? Or Curiously Tangential?
One section of Uncharted 3 stands out as different. Drake, captured by pirates in Yemen (don't worry, it feels far removed from current crises) must escape a ship graveyard and make it onto a dilapidated cruise ship run by the gang. Using remarkable water physics, climbing and aiming are complicated by the listing of the half-submerged boats in one of the strangest game environments ever. The rotting boats and the massive rusted encampment, to say nothing of the sociopathic criminals running the place, capture the awe and mystery that is missing elsewhere in Uncharted 3 and immediately brings the action scenes to life, as the player discovers truly creative combinations of climbing and shooting that make the sequence both challenging and eminently replayable. In scaling a dry dock and cruise ship, the game hits the eye-popping thrills and informs everything with an energy and urgency, culminating in a trick of physics and design that finally accomplishes the task of outdoing any one of the highlights of Uncharted 2.
As astonishing as the pirate sequence is, it is curiously tangential to the overall plot. It could have been removed from the game without any uninformed player being the wiser. Its role in the game as both highlight and diversion speak to the strange inability of Uncharted 3 to coalesce its disparate parts into a cohesive whole. The writing in the moments of Uncharted 3 are still superlative, as is the voice acting and character animations, but what started with such narrative promise becomes increasingly meandering and disjointed.
For instance, more than just finding a lost city, the game reveals Sir Francis Drake's role as an agent of Queen Elizabeth I's secret service, and his mission was on her shadowy behalf. Then, the villainesses's name -- Marlowe -- seems to refer to another famous agent of the Renaissance-era spy network, playwright Christopher Marlowe, but nothing comes of it. Finally, a secret lair of the nefarious agents thwarting Drake implies an ancient network of evildoers and great revelation that will unfold; however, all of this sumptuous historical mystery amounts to little, as does another interesting subplot highlighting Drake's pathological need to find treasure for validation, endangering all that care for him. Interesting sequences of hallucinatory stumbling through the narrow streets of Yemen seem to hint at something richer in the game's narrative that never comes to the surface and the final sequences in the oppressive environment of the Arabian sand dunes clearly want to carry an emotional deliverance that haven't had sufficient grounding in the game's early story. All of this culminates in a finale that is deflatingly similar to Uncharted 2's conclusion, with a final confrontation that may have carried weight if characters and relationships had been given more opportunity to develop.
Let's Get Some Others Involved
The competitive and cooperative multiplayer makes a return in Uncharted 3, with the competitive faring better. The look of the game offers a pleasurable distinction from the typical shooters, as does the level design that lends itself to the climbing and traversing like a human rediscovering his primate self. The shooting, however, does not deliver the exacting qualities that so many fans of the current crop of multiplayer games expect, and the animation quirks that are present in the single-player campaign are exacerbated by the hectic decision making and movement in multiplayer. Clear efforts have been made to emulate the perks, medals and other reward systems found in multiplayer games everywhere, which should deepen the experience for those who choose to play but, as with Uncharted 2, its appeal should reside mostly as an alternative to the war-based multiplayer shooters dominating the market.
The co-op is less successful. While it attempts to take on narrative side-stories to the single-player, the skill and quality of the main game's storytelling is nowhere to be found, and the invited comparison does little to elevate the experience. More importantly, the sense of fun that characterized Uncharted 2's foray into co-op has been replaced with a turgid experience that, despite which map from across the Uncharted series you are playing, unfolds in the same manner, with four to five segments, each bringing forth increasingly harder enemies with limited AI who function as bullet sponges.
It's a stunningly joyless experience that should become tiresome to anyone but those who don't like any thought getting in the way of shooting someone in the face. In the end, as with Uncharted 2, the multiplayer is seemingly frivolous or just commercial, but in light of Uncharted 3's single player shortcomings, one cannot help but wonder whether those resources could have been better applied.
The Adventure Comes To An End
It is this agonizing eschewing of potential in Uncharted 3 that ultimately reduces the game to only great. The technical prowess never ceases to amaze, but the beating heart that makes it more than mere novelty is only intermittently present. As fun as it is in all of its myriad moments of action and design, there is a latent malaise.
Coming so soon on the heels of Uncharted 2, there hasn't been enough time for the strong memories of the predecessor to fade away, to revitalize a story and game format that had so recently been revitalized and reached its apotheosis. Sony's commercial needs may have motivated such a quick revisit to the franchise but, like Nathan Drake's long quest to unravel the mystery of his relative, it takes time to appreciate the value of a treasure.

When watching the video the exact rhetoric comes from a blograt here. Guess who LOL!
Observe comments suggesting use of an illegal drug revealing an addictive personality. Opening the subject of addictive personalities is far beyond an undertaking I wish to pursue on this blog and far, far beyond the comprehension of blograts. Suffice it to say there is ample proof provided by the blograt to sustain findings of a severe blog addiction.
Here on this blog we have a perfect example of a liberal with 14 postings and over 30 responses and comments in just 2 days from someone claiming to be on vacation. Not only on vacation but also in another country.
Maybe they are visiting the relatives, the Taliban.
Observe how they gloat at responses to her unbelievable stories. Anyone that is on vacation, let alone in a foreign country, that stays glued to a blog has got some insurmountable severe blog addiction issues. Real issues here folks… Were talking addiction.
Observe the reaction when cornered with facts. What the liberal does is try to squirm out with deceit.
She makes statements then slithers when confronted with facts and truth.
Unbelievable stories, rhetoric and hate spews from the typical liberal. Powerful reasons to turn out and vote to throw the ILLEGAL ALIEN AMERICAN HATING LYING RACIST ANTI GOD MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE OUT!!!

Just till two inches for tulip bulbs, study finds
October 27, 2011 —
REGION — A Cornell University study shows that "top planting" is a much easier method of planting tulip bulbs and just as effective as digging the traditional six- to eight-inch holes for each bulb.
To top plant: Till the soil about two inches deep, place the bulbs on top of the soil and then cover them with a two-to-four inch layer of mulch and water to achieve successful tulips that will thrive year after year. No strenuous digging is needed.
"Top planting is a good way to go," said William B. Miller, professor of horticulture and director of Cornell's Flower Bulb Research Program.
Top planting is an old, yet underused method. Miller's three-year study of the process demonstrated that it definitely works. He used this method to plant "Ad Rem" and "Negrita" tulip cultivars, which are known as good perennializers, in plots testing four different depths of mulch. Bulbs that were covered with two to four inches of mulch yielded the most flowers in 2009, 2010 and 2011. In the study, a slow-release fertilizer was used, which Miller recommends.
Optimum planting in Central New York is from mid- to late September through mid November. Bulbs root readily as long as soil temperatures are in the range of 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Visit blogs.cornell.edu/hort/2011/07/07/top-planting-tulips-cuts-labor.

- Spokane to Seattle; The Long Way (Stephan Segraves, BadIce.com)
- As the air miles add up, so do the benefits (Eric Anderson, Albany Times-Union)
- Flying in extreme comfort (Sarah Staples, The Globe and Mail)
Callie and I returned a little earlier from a same-day trip from Houston to Seattle (or, IAH-SEA, to use the airport codes) that kicks off this year's efforts to requalify as gold elites on Continental/Star Alliance. We traveled on a fare that cost roughly 4 cents per EQM (elite qualifying miles), which many folks on Flyertalk would characterize as a weak mileage run at best. But, for us, the fact we could do a one-day weekend turn on Continental meant no lost vacation time, no accommodation cost, and a shot at complimentary upgrades to first class (the upgrade didn't come through on the outbound, but we did sit in the front cabin on the return).
We have a number of these guys booked early this year, so we'll get a nice jump-start on gold elite status this year (as opposed to flying a cheap US Airways same-day turn in mid-December LAST year to finally reach the mark*). Air travel this year will pretty much displace other hobbies on the priority list (although some camping and hiking and gardening will find their way into the mix, along with grilling and food and wine and reading and blogging of course).
So why DO all of this?

I had a pretty good day all the way around. 1) OSU Cowboys beat OU Sooners. 2) OSU Cowgirls win. 3) Kyle Larson finishes 2nd in his first ever Daytona (ARCA) race. 4) All my drivers finish the Unlimited. Not bad, not bad.

French painter Jean Hélion (1904 - 1987) was a leading figure in the Paris art world in the 1930s, associated with the best abstract artists of his time. Yet he had vital roots in Virginia, including a studio in Rockbridge Baths. This unique exhibition tells the story of this artist in 18 works from local collections that span nearly 50 year, a story told from the point of view of guest curator (and painter) Bill White, himself one of the most important artist in the state.
The show maps a man's journey from Paris, to New York then to Rockbridge Baths, where Hélion settled with his American wife from Richmond. It is a dramatic life story that includes being a prisoner of war during World War II for two years, then escaping, The paintings and drawings on view also reveal his visual journey from abstract art to painting figurative images that depict life on the streets of post-War Paris, a later style that White links to a revival of realist art in later twentieth century painting. Hélion's struggle between abstraction and representational art has inspired scores of artist to this day, including the show's curator.
This exhibition is curated by Bill White, Professor Emeritus in Drawing, Painting, and the history of Modern Art, Hollins University. The works in the show are drawn from a prestigious regional collection, with an additional important loan from the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University in Roanoke. Organized by the Taubman Museum of Art.

The Biggest Gainer: 2012 Gym Websites
Image from: Stuart Jenner / Shutterstock We're all guilty of that new years resolution we don't keep. Perhaps the most common resolution with the worst reputation is to get in shape and spend "___ amount of days" in the gym every week. It's the reason why every gym across the states is packed on January 1st and regains complete normalcy only a few weeks later. Funny enough, online traffic often

A Tribute To Tommy
Tommy is my little brother. He's a good kid. Tomorrow is Tommy's birthday. He is going to be 15…not so little anymore.
Tommy's favorite Yankee team was that magical team of 1998. All of his favorite players are no longer playing. Here are my little brother's favorite Yankee players from his favorite Yankee team:
Tommy's 5th Favorite – Ricky Ledee
Remember Ricky Ledee? The adorable little rookie sensataion? I liked him a lot, too. I remember when he got traded. He cried. And he kept his uniform with him. #17. Ledee was cute. I wonder what happened to him. He disappeared after 2007.
Tommy's 4th Favorite – David Cone
David Cone…who doesn't love this guy? He was such a crafty pitcher. And who is going to forget about that little perfecto he threw in 1999? Tommy and I were a little too young to really remember that game, but we've seen the Yankees Classics of it dozens of times. History like that never gets old. David Cone was one of our favorite commentators on the YES Network. Every time he was on, he was hilarious. He was always joking with Michael Kay, and somehow they always talked about how Cone has a wild night life. I don't know what was more fun: watching him pitch or listening to him broadcast.
Tommy's 3rd Favorite – Scott Brosius
Aw, Scottie. He was such a nice man. And he was so smooth at 3rd base. He was known for that barehanded grab on ground balls. I think his retirement stunned everyone. He retired after the 2001 season, when everyone was focusing on O'Neill's retirement. Brosius was only 34 when he called it quits. Tommy was in shock when he heard Brosius wouldn't be back. One thing me and Tommy have in common is that we get very attached to players very quickly.
Tommy's 2nd Favorite – Paul O'Neill
Aah, the Warrior. Paul was always a pleasure to watch. Whether he was crushing the ball, or crushing the water cooler, O'Neill always made us smile. His retirement was a hard one to deal with. #21 hasn't been worn since – well, aside from the 1 day LaTroy Hawkins wore it before getting booed out of it. The Yankees really should retire this number already. I thought they would do it at the opening of the new Yankee Stadium, but they didn't. We're waiting….
Tommy's #1 Favorite Player….EVER – Bernie Williams
Bernie…oh, Bernie. He was the epitome of the Yankees. Bernie Williams was absolutely perfect. He was the nicest, most gentle soul and was a fantastic player. Bernie is a soft-spoken, peaceful kind of guy. He was so graceful on the field. His swing was so easy, and he ran like a gazelle. #51 will most definitely be retired, since Bernie has his name on the tops of almost every Yankee record list. Tommy and I, and probably every other Yankee fan, wish that Bernie was still playing. We're sure he can still do it :)
Well, those are Tommy's favorites from his favorite Yankee team. You might be wondering…who is his favorite Yankee of today? I'll give you a hint: he's crazy, just like my brother. Still don't know?
Lol! Swishyboo!
I hope Tommy has a nice birthday tomorrow. I know he will. Me and my older brother got him a present that he's been wanting for awhile. And no, it is not Yankee related. It's a movie that he and I just get a kick out of:
Also, tomorrow is the day that PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT FOR THE YANKEES!!! OMG! Baseball is inching closer….
5 Comments
I hope your brother has a great birthday! And I'M SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!! I love pitchers and catchers🙂
Happy Birthday to your brother, I'm sure he'll have a great bday with pitchers and catchers tomorrow!!
Go Yankees.
Tell Tommy Happy Birthday from his Yankee fan friend Jane. I like his taste in teams. lol. Ledee was a surprise as being one of his favorites but I can see why he picked the others. I hope he likes his present!
First off, happy belated birthday to your little bro. Secondly, he has got some GREAT taste! All his fav Yankees are awesome. I feel bad for Ledee though–small little fact I read in Buster Olney's book–he had a fight with his dad before he left on a business trip and his dad died in an accident on that trip. Poor man. Gotta love his no. 1–Bernie is the man!!!!
Also, Tropic Thunder is a pretty funny movie–I have it in my DVD collection. Les Grossman for the win! haha!

"This is the brightest Saturn storm in decades," Anthony said on his website, Ice In Space. "If you get a chance to see it visually then take it, as it may be one of the rare "Great White Spot" (GWS) outbreaks on Saturn." –Nancy Atkinson / Universe Today

A train derailed and caught fire in downtown Lynchburg, Va., Wednesday, leading to the evacuation of numerous buildings, The Associated Press reported.
Between 12 and 14 cars carrying crude oil were on the train and were causing "extensive flames and dense black smoke," Lynchburg officials said on the city's website.
People in the general area had been evacuated, officials said.
Officials also said there were no reported injuries and the cause of the derailment was not known.
