TGS: Hohokum: The Artsiest Game on PS4?
I don't know what Hohokum is, but I know what I like.
Perhaps the most intriguing PlayStation 4 game I played at this year's Tokyo Game Show came in the form of Hohokum, a title that by all appearances has no particular need to be running on next-generation hardware.
I don't mean to disparage the game by any means -- there's far more to life than high-end graphics -- and in fact I appreciate the fact that Sony chose to showcase a decidedly arty project like Hohokum amid all the flash and sizzle of the PS4's early lineup. It made a pleasant contrast to most of the other games on offer, with a simple art style complemented by chill music and totally nebulous play goals emphasizing discovery through relaxation.
Hohokum presents a world of stylized objects and backgrounds rendered with flat colors and no outlines. Much of the "challenge" of the game (and I use the term "challenge" in the loosest sense of the word) rests in discerning precisely which elements of the environment are interactive. The second challenge: Figuring out what those interactive factors actually do. Certain bits of the background appear to respond to the passage of the player's avatar (a curious multicolored snake that flies freely through the air), but the purpose of their interactions often takes some puzzling out.
For example, you can circle around dandelion-like puff balls and send their seeds rising into the air, but to what purpose? There's no clear point behind it unless you follow their slow ascent and discover that a number of tiny women living above the puffs will grab on to passing seeds and ride them to the upper portions of the world. You can bounce around a field of balls that work much like pinball bumpers, flinging you back and forth and changing size each time you strike one. If you manage to turn all the bumpers the same size, a tiny person will appear to ride your avatar around until you figure out her personal goal (acquiring a sort of pinecone-like object for her and helping her transport it to a door atop a ziggurat on the top level).
Sometimes you manage to interact with objects that respond inconsistently to your actions. Other things you can do appear to have no bearing on the world at all. Eventually, I even managed to open up some sort of portal that let me abandon the area I was in to explore another -- though I got the impression I'd be able to backtrack and finish up various unresolved odds and ends if need be.
The whole thing feels like it's meant to be a puzzle of sorts, but a low-stress one. Certainly Hohokum won't be everyone's cup of tea, but gamers who appreciate a low-stress experience that rewards inquisitiveness and observation while listening to mellow music should enjoy it. It belongs to the same school of design as Flower and the odd Pixeljunk title, and while I hope for some kind of surprising underlying PS4-specific feature -- not a visual trick, but some sort of secret unlocked through network connectivity or social sharing or something -- Hohokum makes the very welcome statement that not every game need push the bleeding edge of technology to be intriguing.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › North Rim and Long Range Traverse Gros Morne National Park Newfoundland
Aug 19, 2012 at 9:10 am #1293121
A few weeks ago my wife and I linked the North rim and the Long Range Traverse in Gros Morne National Park NFLD. We did the 69.9km route in 2days 8 hrs 25mins. It was by far one of the best trips that I have ever done!
This trip (honeymoon) was a combination of being a tourist and being a bit of a backcountry traveller. For this post I will keep it to just the few days we spent in the backcountry of Gros Morne National Park. We Arrived in the park on thursday afternoon after a long ferry ride from the mainland and we were slated to start our trek the next day. We both felt tired from the previous days driving from Quebec City and the lack of sleep on the ferry due to absurdly loud snorers and screaming and crying children. We only had 2 earplugs between the two of us and we did 2hr shifts sharing them. On the ferry ride home we would be able to get a cabin on the ship!. If I did the trip via ferry again, I would most definitely book a cabin!
Due to our tired bodies and minds we decided to take the friday to chill in Rocky Harbour and rest up before we hit the north rim on the Saturday. It was a good call we made because come saturday we were both raring to go! We booked our taxi to pick us up at the Gros Morne mountain parking lot at 7am as a early start would be mandatory. Our cab driver was right on time and he got us safely to the parking lot for the Western Brook Pond trail by around 730am. We took two photos and hit the trail at 740am.
It was a quick 30min to the junction where we go north towards snug harbour. We had a rather un-eventful walk into Snug except for two separate moose that we encountered. One was pretty close and the other was farther at around 50-60m. We made the roughly 8km into Snug in just under 2 hours. We had a quick snack and a pee and got ready for the long climb up to the top of the north rim. Now most people had warned us about the North Rim. Nobody had anything good to say about the route other then it was terrible and had tons of tuckmore, which is stunted balsam fir and spruce trees and that penetrating them is next to impossible. Think of it as trying to walk through a cedar hedge with a pack on…
Anyways we made our way up to the top of the rim in about 2 hours and had a quick lunch and a great view out into the Atlantic Ocean. We took a compass bearing and checked the gps to cross reference our intended route. I had opted for a different route then most other people have taken and I though it may avoid most of the horrendous tuck that everyone spoke about. We made quick time trekking across big open Alaska type terrain. We had very little tuck to navigate on the first day, with only about 1.5-2hrs of the nasty stuff. The rest of the first day was 5 star backcountry travel. No footprints, no people just Eden, myself and our packs. That is until we crested a rocky hill at around 5pm. We popped over the top and about 40m away was a very large caribou! It was massive! He was most certainly the dominant male in the area as he was about double the size I envisioned a male would be! If I had to guess I would say his weight was around 1600-1800lbs or about the size of one our two year old bulls. ( I live on a farm).
He did not seem to mind that we were there and just kept eating grass. We watched him for about 5 min before we thought we better leave him be. We made our way around the top of the hill and went on our way. We had dinner around 630pm and put the new Jetboil stove to the test! It worked flawlessly and we enjoyed our backcountry pantry thai dinners. We walked about 4km after dinner until we found a good spot to make camp. We dropped the packs at 830pm and we soaking up the views that only a handful of people see each year. It was breathtaking! We did 27.2km the first day from the parking lot. 8km of that was on trail and the rest was cross country trekking. We only had about 4-5km tomorrow morning until we hit the back of western brook pond and the start of the Long Range Traverse.
We found a small cliff to hang the food and hit the hay satisfied with day one. We awoke early and had some quick oats and coffee/tea and were packed up and walking by 730am. The next 5km was completely unreal! It was very hilly and the steep slippery grass slopes made for fun navigating. We found some good moose trails around the last few lakes and hit the end of the North Rim and the start of the Long Range Traverse by 1130am. We had been told to expect to take minimum of 3 days to do just the North Rim and we did it in less then half of that. We didn't crush the speed, we just kept moving. The total length of the North Rim clocked in at 32.1km. We had a bite of lunch, snapped some photos of Western Brook Pond and got ready to hit the much more frequently traveled route ahead. We were technically only 32-35km from the car and therefor almost halfway done!
We found a well used game/foot path and put some solid km's behind us. The views we out of this world! I have done lots of neat backcountry trips and this one definitely rivalled anything else. We met a group of three hikers at the campsite on Little Island Pond and chatted for 5 mins. Their packs were big any heavy and they were drooling over our minimalist loads. "You guys did what yesterday"??? "NO way!". We said our goodbye's and hit the trail. We aimed to get another big day in before making camp at Middle Barrens(or beyond) and hoped we made smart decisions in the navigating department. We found many game trails with fresh footprints going in every direction! It was very confusing with all the tracks leading in different directions. I decided to opt for my own route and disregard the human footprints. We made our way down to the abandoned ranger station at Hardings Pond and over to the camp platform at Middle Barrens. We found a party of 3 already set up there and we chatted for a quick 45 min… We had some snacks and realized it was only 445pm. Well we have tons of time to log more km's before making camp, so we decided we were going to try to push on to Green Island Pond before dark.
We left the 3 amigos at around 5pm and walked out of camp on what seemed to be a very well travelled trail. We walked up to the top of the big hill after the camp and decided that at around 6pm we would call it a early night and make camp. We found a great spot on top of the hill and had a nice pond close by. We had noticed earlier that day that the weather was turning from gorgeous sunny skies to grey and was getting worse by the hour. When we left civilization 2 days ago the weather looked good for about five days. Clearly things were about to change. We did about 23km the 2nd day and were at 50km total. We were now roughly 18-20km from the car we left as few days ago. We had nowhere to store our food for the night and since I had seen almost no bear signs, we opted to let the food bag stay in the fly of the tent. That made for a great nights sleep! I almost always am able to find a spot to hang food and with no big cliffs or trees taller then 8ft it was impossible to find a good spot.
We had light rain throughout the evening and into the night and awoke to grey skies and light mist. It was however looking like it was going to keep building throughout the day. After a quick Breakfast we were on the go by 7am and found day 3 to be equally as good as the first 2 days!. Eden was the wildlife spotter for the day. She spotted a big bull moose on top of one of the hills close by and she also spotted a lone caribou which ended up being a entire herd of caribou! We watched them for a few min as the equally did the same before they had decided that they had seen enough of us and wandered off. We had the rain slowly building and the terrain was getting quite slick and getting out to the car today would make life much more enjoyable as we both were excited to go up to the north end of the island and see Icebergs!
We went up one hill down a valley and then up the other side. We would get to the top of the next ridge or viewpoint and scope the next decent and climb. That went on for the majority of the day. The views are so stunning that it would be very hard to put into words. I took many photos and hope that the images help me remember what a special place this is. We finally made it to the last somewhat technical decent into ferry gulch which was made even more fun with the rain and mud. We hit the marked trail at around 1pm and snacked quickly before we headed off into the final leg of the day, 8km of marked trail to our car and dry clothes! I had contemplated a quick run up to the top of Gros Morne mountain but given the fog and the rain I opted out of that idea. I knew I would be able to come back in a few days and make a quick run up the peak.
We hit the car at 3pm soaking wet and ready to to go get some food and a shower. All Eden and I could do is think about the 2 parties of 3 people that were far behind us. We wished them the best to whatever this weather would bring. We went to the park office to drop off the PLD (SPOT) and chatted to the rangers for a bit, as they were amazed that we did both routes in about 1/3 the time it takes most parties. We also learned that the weather was here for the next 4 or 5 days and it looked as if we made the right decision to try and get out on day 3. We Checked into the hotel and had a shower and started to unpack. We laid out all the wet gear and relaxed! It was a trip that I had wanted to do for quite some time now and I very happy and excited that Eden not only joined me on this epic honeymoon adventure but that she crushed it! She matched me stride for stride and over the 69.95km.
After a visit up to St Anthony and Lans Aux Meadows we made our way back to the park and I did go for a run up Gros Morne Peak. I ran the 16km loop car to car in just under 2hrs in a time of 1hr57mins. It was Awesome!Feb 15, 2013 at 8:53 am #1954694
I'm from Newfoundland myself, and I'm planning on doing this route this summer, can you post some pics from your adventure?May 13, 2013 at 5:38 am #1985685
Hey Peter, here are a few of the pics from the trip. Sorry I didn't get these up sooner.. When are you planning on hiking the route? Are you doing both the north rim and the long range?May 14, 2013 at 11:22 am #1986038

Thanks for an awesome trip report! Gros Morne is definitely on my "life list" of places to get to! Thanks also for the wonderful pics.
LoganMay 15, 2013 at 4:54 am #1986260
Thanks Logan! I am glad you liked the photos. The North Rim and Long Range is a truly spectacular place.Aug 21, 2013 at 5:44 pm #2017430
I finally get to see your photos, but not before I did the route myself!
It was such a spectacular trip that I'm doing it again this Sunday. (solo again)
I went very light the first time, but now that I know the conditions, I can go even lighter!
First day was a tough hike.
Heres a few photos from the trip I took on July 1st. (opening day)
I know I look a little rough, but I beat the rest of the crowd by an hour!
I flailed my way up without a break. Beer helps… I drank four before I got on the boat.
Aug 21, 2013 at 5:53 pm #2017436
A few more photos…
So nice to be in the wild.
This is the nastiest campground on the route… but it shows my gear.
I used no bug protection at all on the trip, I think I am immune to bug bites.
Sep 29, 2013 at 12:46 pm #2029355
Awesome photos Peter! That area has a lifetime of wilderness to explore! I hope to get back there one day soon…Oct 5, 2013 at 1:16 pm #2031047

Whatever they think of modern-day conveniences such as electricity and power steering (hard with a horse and buggy) the American Amish might want to consider the services of a public relations firm.
Someone needs to counter the awful stories appearing in the United States in recent weeks that have featured rape, incest and the gassing of dogs, lots of them.
The bad news - "A Crisis in Amish Country" was a New York Times headline this month - coincides with something else unexpected about members of a sect descended from Anabaptists who fled Europe to the US in the early 18th century.
In population terms, at least, the Amish are booming. And as their numbers swell - growing at a rate of 5 per cent a year - they are also beginning to migrate westwards.
According to a new study, the Amish, many of whom still eschew English and speak Pennsylvania Dutch (actually a German dialect), are quickly moving beyond their traditional rural bases in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
The survey, completed by researchers at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, says they are now settled in significant numbers in 28 US states.
There are now just over 250,000 American Amish and, at current growth rates, the population may double by 2024 if not before.
As they grow - one main reason is the tradition of having five or more children per couple - the Amish may struggle more than ever to manage relations with the outside world, which regards them with a mixture of condescending curiousness - Amish farmers' markets are a big draw even in Manhattan - and outright suspicion. The Amish have their special exemptions: they don't pay some federal taxes and they educate their children in their own schools.
That they can skirt the rules does not sit well with everyone. News about an Amish dog breeder in New York state will not have helped.
Officials accused David Yoder, of Black Diamond Kennels in Romulus, of connecting a hose to an engine (apparently combustion power is allowed on his premises) and then to a small shed filled with dogs. He allegedly killed 93 dogs in his makeshift "gas chamber" after refusing to heed a Department of Agriculture order that he test and vaccinate the animals against brucellosis.
More damaging, however, has been the case of Chester Mast, a 26-year-old Amish man who last week pleaded guilty to charges of rape, sodomy and misconduct with a child in Missouri. Married with two children, Mast was sentenced to 14 years in prison and still faces related incest charges in Wisconsin.
The most traditional Amish orders usually strive to handle all crimes committed by members of the fold themselves, often with corporal punishment or excommunication, temporary or permanent, from the church. In this way, they also protect their own from prosecution by the mainstream judiciary. In the case of Mast, however, the Amish leaders turned him over to the police.
"Some Amish communities aren't fully aware that a psychological disorder may be underlying devious behaviour," said Professor Donald Kraybill of Elizabethtown College.
"They may sometimes confuse this kind of an addiction - like an alcohol addiction or a sexual addiction - with a spiritual or moral weakness. They think that if the person confesses the sin, and they bring them back into the church, and they pray about it, everything is going to be OK."
As the author of the report on the population growth among the Amish, Kraybill identifies urban sprawl as one of the causes of their westward march.


text:
The secondary headline on the April 17 editorial "Charter school roadblock" accused Montgomery County of "restricting opportunity" in Maryland because we don't support charter schools. Despite the financial struggles that all school systems are enduring in these challenging times, Montgomery schools are ranked among the best in the nation, and, by all statistical measures, are the best in the state. Montgomery students don't need charter schools. They can succeed in their traditional local public schools, and they do, in huge numbers.
A school system as diverse and growing as Montgomery County's needs every dollar available to maintain these high standards. Taking funds away from the traditional public schools to pay for a few students to attend private-style public charter schools would be a crime, and totally unnecessary, given the high quality of the Montgomery schools.

Why is it that when someone is accidentally or intentionally shot the brand of gun (normally Glock) is always brought up but if a drunk driver/careless driver kills someone the brand of car or the brand of beer is never mentioned?
Is it the media? Is there a double standard?

The basic concept was of a 13 metre yacht, with luxurious accomodation and a fast hull which had to be not only quick but safe, in all weather conditions. The outcome of this carefully planned concept is the Grand Soleil 43.
From one of Europe's most modern production yards, comes a yacht with elegant lines, a general sense of harmony and outstanding performance. The Grand Soleil 43 is built under the strict controls of C.E. homologation, with all stages of construction fully respecting these requirements, from initial lay up to completion.
Externally this fine looking yacht, with her stylish transom, has achieved the perfect balance between hull and deck volumes, and offers also a large and well protected cockpit, along with safe side decks to complete what is, without any half measures, a classic destined to remain forever beautiful. A good example of Italian style.
Recent Improvements Include:
"Seaquester" is available to be viewed by appointment. Please call to see this fine vessel.
"To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity." – Douglas Adams
We are always in search of quality vessels to list, so if you are thinking about selling or upgrading, please email us to discover the difference that is Latitude Yacht Brokerage:
Ryan J. Miller
Yacht Broker / Owner / U.S.C.G. Master Capt.
See what we are all about:
The interior of the yacht is a joy to behold: from the large owner s cabin situated forward & complete with its own en-suite facilities, through the spacious saloon and linear galley, which is situated to port, and then aft to complete the layout, where the two double guests cabins are situated. A nice touch: all the equipment systems are sound-proofed so your peace and comfort won t be disturbed.
The interior joinery is American Cherry stained mahogany that has been treated with polyurethane and then buffed to a shine. The interior boasts an excellent caliber of finishing throughout.
The master cabin is forward. This cabin has centerline queen, full-length shelves on each side, two very large hanging lockers and a private head. The head has a separate shower stall.
Just aft of the forward cabin you have the salon. The salon has a large u-shaped settee that surrounds the table. Additional seating is provided by a straight settee that is centerline. The salon has numerous storage lockers, a stowage rack and handholds.
Opposite the salon on the port side you find the galley. Just aft of the galley is the guest head.
Aft of the salon on the starboard side you have a large and comfortable navigation station. The lifting top chart table provides storage space for your charts. The breakers for both the electrical system are easily accessible from the navigation station.
The two guest cabins are mirror images of each other. They feature a large double bed, a hanging locker, shelves and a seat.
Both 12 volt dc and 110 volt ac sysytems to seperate breakers.
Careful thought has been given to all aspects of construction, but nowhere more so than on deck, where you will find simple but functional fittings and a generous sail plan; with all running rigging led aft to the cockpit, you know that the Grand Soleil 43 is going to be a delight to sail, single handed or with a crew.
2015 Flag blue gel-coat hull with teak covered cockpit seats and fiberglass non skid side decks.
Mast head rigged with (2) spreaders. Both mast and boom are made of anodized aluminum.

What is Internet security? Is it preventing virus attacks from emails? Or trying to stop phishing? Blocking web sites or particular browser plug-ins? How do you know if your security infrastructure is doing its job? Breaches don't exactly announce themselves. It doesn't do any good to put up technology fences and then have users leave the doors unlocked.
As I travel around the world meeting with Axeda customers and prospective customers, we spend a lot of time discussing security. This conversation is made more difficult because there is little agreement on what security really means -- or how it is interpreted or measured. Wouldn't it be nice if there was some international standard or validation process that could earn you the good housekeeping seal of security? Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Lacking a standard, we rely on the experts at VeriSign to review our technology and provide their stamp of approval.
Security is a living thing. Threats and the response to them are always changing. You do your work, think you have things figured out, and then something new comes along that changes your perception of being safe. Most IT departments seem to take the approach that the way they are doing things is "safe," so they say No to anything that doesn't fit neatly into their way of doing things.
IT departments are right to have policies and procedures for accepting remote service technology. But, just saying No to everything often eliminates great opportunities to improve business operations. There is business value in security. There is business value in improving operations. The challenge is having the vision and agility to serve the business while protecting what needs protection.
If you are an IT department, have a documented review and acceptance process for remote access. When approached by a vendor, provide them with the process and have them work through it. This will save both of you a lot of time.
If you are a vendor deploying remote access, be ready to answer what you are doing, why it is necessary, and the business value for the customer. Its not about you, its about helping your customer make their business run better.

The Luck of Roaring Camp and Other Stories HTML version
The Right Eye Of The Commander
The year of grace 1797 passed away on the coast of California in a southwesterly gale.
The little bay of San Carlos, albeit sheltered by the headlands of the blessed Trinity, was
rough and turbulent; its foam clung quivering to the seaward wall of the Mission garden;
the air was filled with flying sand and spume, and as the Senor Commandante,
Hermenegildo Salvatierra, looked from the deep embrasured window of the Presidio
guardroom, he felt the salt breath of the distant sea buffet a color into his smoke-dried
The Commander, I have said, was gazing thoughtfully from the window of the
guardroom. He may have been reviewing the events of the year now about to pass away.
But, like the garrison at the Presidio, there was little to review; the year, like its
predecessors, had been uneventful--the days had slipped by in a delicious monotony of
simple duties, unbroken by incident or interruption. The regularly recurring feasts and
saints' days, the half-yearly courier from San Diego, the rare transport ship and rarer
foreign vessel, were the mere details of his patriarchal life. If there was no achievement,
there was certainly no failure. Abundant harvests and patient industry amply supplied the
wants of Presidio and Mission. Isolated from the family of nations, the wars which shook
the world concerned them not so much as the last earthquake; the struggle that
emancipated their sister colonies on the other side of the continent to them had no
suggestiveness. In short, it was that glorious Indian summer of California history around
which so much poetical haze still lingers--that bland, indolent autumn of Spanish rule, so
soon to be followed by the wintry storms of Mexican independence and the reviving
spring of American conquest.
The Commander turned from the window and walked toward the fire that burned brightly
on the deep ovenlike hearth. A pile of copybooks, the work of the Presidio school, lay on
the table. As he turned over the leaves with a paternal interest, and surveyed the fair
round Scripture text--the first pious pothooks of the pupils of San Carlos--an audible
commentary fell from his lips: "'Abimelech took her from Abraham'--ah, little one,
excellent!-- 'Jacob sent to see his brother'--body of Christ! that upstroke of thine, Paquita,
is marvelous; the Governor shall see it!" A film of honest pride dimmed the
Commander's left eye--the right, alas! twenty years before had been sealed by an Indian
arrow. He rubbed it softly with the sleeve of his leather jacket, and continued: "'The
Ishmaelites having arrived--'"
He stopped, for there was a step in the courtyard, a foot upon the threshold, and a stranger
entered. With the instinct of an old soldier, the Commander, after one glance at the
intruder, turned quickly toward the wall, where his trusty Toledo hung, or should have
been hanging. But it was not there, and as he recalled that the last time he had seen that
weapon it was being ridden up and down the gallery by Pepito, the infant son of Bautista,
the tortilla-maker, he blushed and then contented himself with frowning upon the

"Puss in Boots" mixes it all up, how it mixes is refreshing. Even more than in the "Shrek" movies, from which this likely candidate for a new animated franchise is spun off, it is a cheerfully chaotic jumble of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters parachuted into a Spanish storybook setting. It also looks terrific: brighter, with a lot more visual pizzazz than the "Shrek" films. Even when the story loses its thread, the movie rewards your eye.
Now honestly, when I last saw the Shrek movies, it was not Shrek that caught my eye, it was Puss in Boots. Something about the way the cat stole the show and I thought to myself, "This would make a good spin off". Well, I was RIGHT! So Hollywood, where's my money
The tale, revolving around Puss, imagines this vain, spoiled, swashbuckler (voiced by Antonio "sexy like me" Banderas) with delusions of grandeur, colliding with Humpty Dumpty, the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs, Jack and Jill, and Mother Goose herself (I am just waiting for the day that they include Barney the dinosaur as a pimp and then we got ourselves a sequel).
Puss is given a tentative romantic interest in the feisty and seductive Kitty Softpaws (Salma "I wish she was my girlfriend" Hayek), who first appears in disguise and eventually becomes his sidekick and partner in crime. Kitty's tragedy is that she has been declawed, but the movie makes little of it. Despite some perky quasi-flamenco dance numbers, their teamwork never quite soars into Astaire-Rogers heaven. (sad)
Puss has his charms,especially with those cuetsy eyes, but he is not as memorable a character as Shrek or Shrek's mouthy sidekick, Donkey, because most of his charm is suppose to be sexy but since this is a kid's show, you have a problem here.
Consequently the story, which involves a quest for magic beans and golden eggs, feels improvised and diffuse like "why do they need it and why it took so long to get it done?". The most sharply drawn character, Humpty Dumpty (voiced by Zach Galifianakis), Puss's erstwhile best friend turned enemy, is also the most complex. Jealous and treacherous, but with a seed of good, he is an animated Rorschach test whose remarkably expressive features register more shades of ambiguity than I can recall encountering in a Hollywood animated character. There are many, many egg jokes like "I always knew that you were a good egg inside" -duh?
Puss and Humpty Dumpty first meet at an orphanage, where they hatch a dream of acquiring magic beans to grow a beanstalk that they intend to climb into the clouds to steal the Goose That Lays Golden Eggs. But the two are separated before they can realize their plan, and Puss becomes an outlaw. When they meet again, Humpty Dumpty is fuming that Puss betrayed him, but they reteam anyway for an adventure that involves some spectacular midair derring-do.
Good start, but hard to sustain it through. however the gags are furious and fast like the cat in the corner that says "OOOOOOOH" whenever a secret is reveal is priceless. However, the show is too complex and has too many changes of heart to be a smooth, coherent ride. Puss isn't as clear-cut a personality as he was in the "Shrek" movies. The moral of the story — something about revenge and forgiveness — simply has little resonance. In Singaporean terms, its too CHEEM for kids.
Still I laughed why way silly until I realized I was the loudest in the cinema. Despite its shortcomings, the show is a must see for 80 mins of sheer entertainment.
I can't wait for Puss in Boots 2, "Pimp City". Now that's a sequel.
4 stars of 5 stars (see it!)

with that said, i hope you get things fixed. doesn't sound like too much of a problem. i assume the shop did a wheel alignment after installing your new suspension? sounds like it might've been a subpar job causing an offset in the camber. this can easily happen if the wheel wasn't perfectly centered while the wheel alignment was performed. did you also install a camber kit?
Caster and camber, being different from one side to the other, can make the car pull. For example, you are going perfectly straight on a flat road and you let go of the wheel and it pulls to one direction. However, if the camber is the same on both sides I would think it is more likely a tire, caster, or other issue.
However, if the wheel has to be slightly turned to one direction or the other straight, but letting go of the wheel doesn't result in a pull, then the steering wheel simply isn't centered. It won't hurt anything, but it can be fixed by adjusting the toe. If, for example, one tire is toed in one half of a degree, and the other tire is toed out, the result is that it will actually track straight with the proper angles without pull. because of this, the steering wheel will be off centered slightly when going straight.
try to take it back to the shop and get it realigned.
why does it defeat the purpose? even with the new suspension, it still understeers a lot. suspension is better than the regular, but it's not like the best or anything. also he could have bought the car because of the way it looked. or for the 10 extra hp. not everyone bought the zhp because they knew what it was.

Jurors hearing evidence in the trial of Tobin at Chelmsford Crown Court were discharged, and a new trial date fixed for December 14.
The judge told jurors that Tobin was ill, needed surgery, and could not continue to appear at the trial.
Mr Justice Calvert-Smith said Tobin had shingles plus "complications".
Tobin, 62, of Johnstone, Renfrewshire, denies murdering 18-year-old Dinah McNicol.
Miss McNicol, of Tillingham, Essex, disappeared in August 1991, after attending a music festival in Liphook, Hampshire.
The trial started in late June, and jurors had heard a summary of the prosecution case and evidence from a number of prosecution witnesses.Reuse content

Los Rabanes is a Latin Grammy winning Ska-Rock-fusion band from Chitré, Herrera, Republic of Panama. With a career spanning two decades and eight albums, they are considered pioneers in the region, and are the first band from Central America to win a Latin Grammy in the Best Rock Album Category.
The lyrical style of Los Rabanes is a mix between Panamanian Spanish and English. Even if some choruses are fully or partly in English, most of the lyrics in the songs are in Spanish, using English only to express sarcasm, satire or parody.
After the breakup of their bands "Rum & Coke" and "El Décimo Piso" in the early 90's, childhood friends Emilio Regueira, Christian Torres and Javier Saavedra began playing in small pubs and bars during the weekends in Chitré, Herrera, in 1992. Those early shows made a big impact in the local scene, for their energy, and their extravagant stage appearance. In 1993, Álvaro Acevedo, former drummer and current manager of Los Rabanes, joined the team. This brought a reorganization that included demos and presentations in Panama City, which produced even a stronger impact than they had in the Central Provinces.
In 1994, with only one demo and one song on the radio, they joined the first ever "Rock Nacional" tour, which included all the biggest rock bands in Panama. In 1995, their increasing popularity gave them the opportunity to tour Panama and even open for major acts like Maná. By the end of the year, they released their debut album "¿Por Qué Te Fuiste Benito?", with the video for the title track playing heavily on MTV Latino.
In 1996 Los Rabanes toured Latin America sharing the stage with bands like Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Los Autenticos Decadentes, Todos Tus Muertos, Aterciopelados, Maldita Vecindad, and were chosen by the press of California as the Best New Rock Band in Spanish.
In 1997, they released their second album, "Los Rabanes All Star – Volumen 2". The album, recorded in Panama and mixed in Argentina, had Flavio Cianciarulo from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs as producer, and Rubén Blades as a guest on vocals. The three singles from this album were "Reggae Punk Panamá", "De Colores", featuring Rubén Blades on the video, and the song "Tú Me Disparas Balas", for which the video received major airplay on MTV Latino.
In 1998, they played at major festivals like Festimad, which featured Metallica, and played shows in Latin America and the US with Café Tacvba, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Control Machete. During the first half of 2000, Los Rabanes recorded their third album with Roberto Blades on artistic production and Emilio Estefan Jr. in general production. The album, recorded in Crescent Moon studios in Miami Florida, combines Punk, Calypso, Reggae, ska, and hip hop, with a lot of spanglish and meringue house, adding some wind instruments and Latin percussion. The video for the first single "My Commanding Wife" was shot in Miami and directed by Emilio Estefan Jr. The song, "My Commanding Wife," was derived from the song, "My Commanding Wife," written by the Panamanian calypso artist, Oscar Reid, and recorded by Leroy Gittens and Oscar Reid Y Su Combo in 1965.[1][2] The song was later popularized by Jamaican recording artist, Boris Gardiner and his band, The Boris Gardiner Happening, in 1970.[3][4][5]
In 2002 the band releases their fourth album, "Money Pa' Que", their second album with Emilio Estefan Jr. as producer, for Crescent Moon Records. The album was also co-produced by Emilio Regueira and Sebastián Krys. The first single, "Everybody", is a mix between rap, hip-hop, meringue huse, reggae and samba, and it had two additional remixes. The song was also a part of a compilation of Latin artists released in Asia for the Korea-Japan World Cup in 2002. The album also earned Los Rabanes their first Latin Grammy Nomination in the Best Vocal Rock Duo or Group category. The award went to Maná. In 2006, the band ends their contract with Crescent Moon and Emilio Estefan Jr. and released a greatest hits box set called "10 años sonando", with two CDs and a DVD. In 2007, they signed to Universal Music and released their sixth studio album, "Kamikaze", produced by Sebastian Krys.
In November 8, 2007, Kamikaze wins the band the Latin Grammy Award for Rock Album by a Duo or Group with vocal. [6] The album was also nominated for the general Grammys as Best Latin Album. After the Grammy, they released two more singles from "Kamikaze", "La Ganja" and a remake of the Eddy Grany classic "Electric Avenue". Recently, Los Rabanes have worked with reggaeton artists like Don Omar, Aldo Ranks and Ñejo & Dalmata and with Dancehall artists like Kafu Banton & Fidel Nadal They also worked with reggaeton producer El Chombo in a song that was featured in the album Los Cuentos De La Cripta. In 2013 they release their seventh studio album, "Urban Rock", featuring collaborations with Flex for the single "Why Not?" and Miguel Ángel Tesis in "Dime Que Tú Quieres".
In 2015 they release a new album live, "En Directo" "Rabanes Live" produced by Rockass Online Music , recorded and mastered by Mike Mulet , son of trumpeter Teddy Mulet of Miami Sound Machine, the album was recorded in Puerto Rico .
On March 2015 they participated into the renowned Festival in Bogota- Colombia, "Vive el Planeta", that year part of the World Summit on Arts and Culture in Bogota. Los Rabanes were the Headliners for over 10.000 People, sharing stage with important bands from latin america.

dear doctors, I have been three times to a specialist for lip augmentation. This fourth time something bad happened. I have lumps, not on my lips but above them!has juvederm moved up there? why? it is clearly seen by everyone.people asking me what happened to me. First I thought it is just swelling, but now one month has past.can this be fixed?I have heard that augmentation can cause to build up new collagen and your lips will get naturally fuller with time. Can than this swelling stay forever?
Are these lumps ABOVE my lips? what happened? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Are these lumps ABOVE my lips? what happened?
If Juvederm was injected, it could be dissolved using an enzyme called Hyaluronidase. This would be the quickest way to dissolve the product, most HA filler last 8-10 months
Fullness above the lips
From your pictures, it does appear that you have some fullness above your lips which may be due to the filler. If it was Juvederm as you mentioned, then it can be resolved with an injection of hyaluronidase or it will simply resolve over time. Juvederm tends to last about six to eight months generally. Massage and warm compresses may also help.

Serge It, Just a Little Bit
Sometimes it's easier for life to imitate art than vice versa—witness French cartoonist Joann Sfar's first feature, an ambitious attempt to cage the career of legendary French singer-songwriter-scamp Serge Gainsbourg (1928-91), né Lucien Ginsburg, within the confines of a commercial showbiz biopic. Sfar's Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is itself somewhat heroic in its desire to bend the genre's bars. Far less conventional than the international hit La vie en rose (Edith Piaf) but in no way as daring as I'm Not Here (Bob Dylan), it's basically a fantasy of Gainsbourg's life. Still, for all the 40-year-old filmmaker's interpolated animations and puppets, for the insouciant, slapdash tone that characterizes his graphic novels, and for his protagonist's proclivity for scandal, the movie is too timidly conceived by half. Engaging if ploddingly linear, Gainsbourg tracks its subject's progress from brash, precocious brat, a Jewish child in occupied France with a cigarette already dangling from his lip, to—as embodied by versatile look-alike and credible song and dance man Eric Elmosnino—the pop-culture provocateur whose calculated outrages ranged from the widely banned, Pope-condemned, heavy-breathing love duet "Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus" to the "Nazi" concept album Rock Around the Bunker to a reggae version of "La Marseillaise" that drove French chauvinists mad. (Eulogized by French president Mitterrand as "our Baudelaire, our Apollinaire," Gainsbourg was, in the end, lionized.) Gainsbourg is less a movie than a pageant with a posh, retro look. As the saga unfurls, Elmosnino's hyperactive piano-player encounters a small galaxy of well-cast celebrities, beginning with the boozy chanteuse Fréhel (Yolande Moreau). Gainsbourg is later pursued by existentialist icon Juliette Gréco (Anna Mouglalis); attended by a talking black cat; declared formidable by the literary bon vivant Boris Vian (Philippe Katerine), himself a promising movie subject; and adopted by the popular vocal group Les Frères Jacques (Le Quatuor).

Seems these are few and far between. No kydex and no single clips, I like the 2 loop with snap set-up.
I have had excellent luck with Brad at Bear River Holsters for my other holsters... But didn't see the 938 on his list.

I heard over on Sigforum that this guy is making holsters for the 938 and that they are nice; there is a thread on it, but it is a clip model. No first hand experience however and it doesn't say so on his site, but maybe he hasn't updated it yet. Don Hume's grandson. Probably worth a call or email since he seems to have a template or gun to mold from.

I would be happy to make one for you, it is not on my list either, but I know a guy ;)
I just ordered one from Pure Kustom, should be getting it in a couple weeks.

Happiness Is Having Been An Airborne Ranger And Still Being Alive To Brag About It!
Im going to let mdmorgan have a crack at it. Thanks for the link, however.
Ok.... I think I have given this enough time to work itself out. First let me say I know I am not an easy customer to deal with. There is also one aspect of this deal that is out of the ordinary, in that I sold the firearm I had Mid World Gun Leather make for me.
On Oct 17 I received an invoice from MWGL (Mid World Gun Leather) in the amount of $90 for a Milt Sparks VMII style IWB in horse. I paid the invoice on Oct 18 and had been previously informed it would take approximately 3 weeks.
On Nov. 9th, I created this post in a thread someone started about their holster from MWGL. On Nov. 10, mdmorgan posted that it was "drying" after being remade because he was not happy with the first one. I certainly appreciate him not wanting to let something less than perfect be sent out to a customer.
Approximately 7 days go by and no holster, no shipping info and no word from MWGL. So I drop him a PM and he replies, and I have to paraphrase here because I have since deleted the PM... "I just have to set the snaps and it will be on its way." I really want to give him the benefit of the doubt.. But it shouldn't take 7 days to go from "drying" to "setting the snaps."
I received the holster on Nov 23 or 24, I do not recall exactly. The construction is decent, but the horse is very, very soft. I have regular leather holsters that are stiffer than the MWGL holster I received. It also needed more cant for such a small firearm such as the P938. So I shot a message off to mdmorgan expressing my concern about the durability of the leather due to its lack of stiffness. He explains what was going on and offered to remake the holster for me. Unfortunately I had since decided to sell the P938 and buy larger (Sig Ultra) 1911. I informed him that I had since sold the P938, and would he be willing to remake the holster for the Sig. I asked on the 25th or 26th and he said he does not have the mold or gun, but would look into trying to find one. On the 28th, because I wanted to get moving on it, I contacted the local guy I use and he was able to accommodate me. Yesterday I sent mdmorgan a PM stating I had found what I needed and asked "how would he like to proceed."
I have not heard back. Now I realize some of this is short time frame, I also realize it is not mdmorgans fault or problem I sold the firearm for the holster he made. I am perfectly fine with that and if I have to bite the cost of the holster, so be it. But he has been online today (and yesterday after I sent the PM) and it only takes a few seconds to respond to a PM. That would be my only gripe, no response to the PM. The 7 day span between "drying" and "setting the snaps" seemed inconsequential at the time, but now with the lack of a response to my inquiry on what direction he would like to go in regards to the holster, I can conclude at least in my case, he wants to be done with it.
mdmorgan has since gotten ahold of me and the issue has been resolved.

Arlington Park: All-sources handle rises 6 percent, Illinois commission reports
Driven by a 9 percent increase in out-of-state betting on its live races, Arlington Park ended its 2012 meet Sunday with a solid overall gain in average daily handle compared with the 2011 season.
All-sources average daily handle during the May 4-Sept. 30 meet was $3,201,354, up 6 percent from $3,007,458 in 2011 at the suburban Chicago track, according to the Illinois Racing Board. Churchill Downs Inc., Arlington's parent company, does not announce handle figures. The 2012 daily average includes 89 full days, but excludes one card that was only partly completed because of bad weather. Gross handle for those 89 days was $284,920,506. That number is substantially higher than in 2011, when Arlington raced 85 days.
The out-of-state bump, from a daily average of $2,291,672 in 2011 to $2,488,440 this year, marks the second straight year that out-of-state handle increased. Ontrack betting on Arlington's races dropped 4 percent, from $417,678 in 2011 to $399,409.
Average field size was 8.2 starters per race, a tiny drop from 8.3 in 2011. Arlington raced its entire 2012 season with purses boosted by casino impact-fee funds that became available in August 2011, thus affecting only the last 1 1/2 months of the 2011 meeting. The racing office struggled during several periods to attract entries, particularly for races on Polytrack. Arlington ran a record 319 turf races in 2012, up from 274 in 2011.
The meet got off to a rocky start because of a contractual dispute between the Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association and Arlington. Many horsemen declined to enter during opening weekend.
That Wayne Catalano topped the trainer standings with 63 winners came as no surprise: The title was Catalano's 10th at Arlington, though Chris Block's barn led the meeting in purses won. But Cisco Torres winning his first Arlington jockey's crown came totally out of the blue. Torres hadn't ridden regularly at Arlington for years, and he led the standings most of the meet, beating out 2011 riding champ James Graham, 100-90. Richard and Karen Papiese's Midwest Thoroughbreds led all owners with 26 wins.
Don't have a drink to celebrate Cisco!
How about some recognition for the man who put Torres on those 100 winners - Allan Plever. He took at best a reclamation project in the spring at Hawthorne and won the riding title there and came to Arlington and perservered and won that riding title - let's give credit to the agent. He most certainly deserves it.
I save my track visitations to two trips to Keeneland each year rather then drive 10 miles to Arlington. Bad over priced food, crude or indifferent ticket sellers, poor fields and a place that seems to be interested in providing services to the well-to-do in their first class areas leaves me cold. One day in Lexington is worth a year at Arlington.
"The racing office struggled during several periods to attract entries, particularly for races on Polytrack." Think anyone in charge of Arlington noticed? Or even cares? I do... and that's why I took my wagering dollar somewhere else. Beautiful facility, but the product they offer does not interest me anymore. Too bad old man Duchossois doesn't care.

A five-day regatta filled with some of the most competitive sailors in the hemisphere is tough enough. Place the event in the oft whacky and party oriented Conch Republic of Key West and you have a week-long celebration of sail on and off the water. And just to be sure the competitors remembered where they were and why they come from around the world to sail in the Florida Keys, Mother Nature threw in one last challenge for the 261-boat fleet on Friday.
The cold front which raced down the state late Thursday awakened the sailors with a 10-degree air temperature drop into the sixties and a modest increase in the wind strength. While the gusts rarely topped 20knots, the wind direction bounced back and forth sometimes with 25 and30-degree shifts, and there was plenty at stake as more than half of the 16 divisions would not be settled until the closing race.
Taking the cautious approach at the GMC/Yukon Yachting Key West Race Week, Steve Liebel's Sarasota-based Henderson 30 Speed Racer locked up the overall championship in PHRF Division 2 with a fourth-place finishing the closing race."We had a 10-point lead going into today (Friday) so we played it conservative," helmsman Scott Liebel said at the awards ceremony. "It took a lot of patience, and really good crew work, to win." Citing the powerful wind conditions which tested the fleet on three of the five days of racing, Liebel said, "Living in Florida, we don't get that much of heavy air. I felt better in the light air, but today was probably the fastest we've ever had the boat going."
Bruce Lockwood's Connecticut-based J/29 Tomahawk didn't have the luxury of a comfortable points lead when Friday's starting gun fired. He and Titillation, skippered by Paul Andersen of Deltaville, VA, had been locked in a points battle throughout the week and Lockwood led by only one point when the closing race began. Whoever won the last race won the regatta since Andersen would win the tie-breaker if he had a bullet in the last race.
"They (Titillation) got ahead of us on the fourth leg," Lockwood said. "On the last leg we saw more wind on the right side of the course. We got to it before they did."
After eight tough races over five days, Tomahawk beat Titillation by five seconds and captured the overall J/29 Class C trophy, their first Key West victory after four years of trying.
In the 21-boat ID35 Class, Robert Hughes' Holland, MI-based Heartbreaker held a slim five-point lead over John Wylie's Tabasco from San Diego, CA. Breakdowns, either mental or boat-wise, were possible in the shifty and gusty conditions Friday morning. Heartbreaker kept the competition at bay, finished fourth for the day and locked up the ID35 Class with a three-point edge over Tabasco, who finished second in Friday's lone race.
Confirming the intensity of the ID35 Class, Heartbreaker's overall win and solid performance for the series also earned them the Yachting Boat of the Week honors.
For racers and spectators alike, one obvious element at Key West Race Week is the diversity of the fleet. It's a venue which brings to get the monstrous boats like the 70-foot Santa Cruz Chessie Racing, the CM60s,and showcases newly launched designs like the all-carbon fiber Farr 52S cream which raced its first races at Key West this week.
Vladimir "Kuli" Kulinichenko of Tampa was aboard the 60-footer Rima, one of two huge CM60 designs in the IMS class for the larger boats, and his team finished second overall for the week.
Accustomed to racing on smaller boats, Kulinichenko said, "You're like on the third floor, looking down at everyone else it was an interesting experience."
And the venue entices the less spectacular boats as well. PHRF classes made up more than 25% of the fleet and those teams push just as hard without the high roller approach to racing.
Sailing out of the Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, FL, Jack Cavalier's vintage C & C 40 Creola struggled in the light winds during the middle of the week. Then they blew out a spinnaker and bent the spinnaker pole in Thursday's first race, but finished the regatta with a respectable fifth-place finish in the PHRF 6 Division.
Smiling as he recalled the loss of the sail, Cavalier said, "It was a big, expensive mistake." Cavalier, who splits his sailing time between the northeastern sailing scene and Florida, was racing a slightly faded orange boat which was built in 1979 but he is accustomed to doing well despite the age of the boat.
"This is the first regatta in four years which we entered that we haven't placed," Cavalier added. "But we come down here to mix it up with the best in the world."
Key West Race Week, now in its 13th year, has become the premier winter regatta in the U.S. and attracted 261 entries and several thousand sailors and support crews for the week-long series. Many of the same high performance boats will remain in Florida for the next major winter regatta, the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC), which will be held the first week in March in Miami.
