thanks for a yes but can i get a why? its not that the price matters its the fact my hardrive is small and wondering if its worth making space for?
It's got the whole Deus Ex style thing where you can pick what type of character you want to play.
Although not as broad.
Damn it.. I swear I had something for this..

It's worth $50

That's where I asked the same thing, pretty much.
The short version, though, is yes. I've yet to play it, but the consensus was that it was totally worth $4.
EDIT: Also, it was only ~10GB, I think.

I bought the game years ago when it first came out. I was hesitant to play it, but once I did, I was hooked. The game was VERY good. Imagine a better version of the Mass Effect conversation system with a Metal Gear Solid-esque type of gameplay.
The conversations can actually change how the game plays out, and it rewards you more for getting people to actually like or hate you. Sometimes pissing people off can be a good thing.
It has a strange level up system though, it has that Deus Ex thing where you need to put points in a weapon type, otherwise it will be near useless.
The best way to play the game is generally stealthy with pistols, and late game pistols are just too damned good. You get abilities to use like in Mass Effect, and the piston one lets you basically freeze and get off 5 headshots or something. Also for stealth you get a power that means you can walk around for about 10 seconds with no way to detect you. You can even knock people out without being detected, and there was another power to reset cooldowns. So I could easily take out whole rooms near the end. So the game is kind of easy to break near the end. Some parts at the beginning are a real challenge.
I really enjoyed the stealth gameplay and doing a no-kill run. The game is buggy though, and controls are a bit wonky. I used a controller because it worked better, but the lockpick mini-game is near impossible with a controller because it doesn't work well with the deadzone. I even tuned the deadzone using a program with my controller, and it didn't work. I just took EMP grenades to disable crap instead.
You can spend $400 on a console and $400 on a cheap PC, or you can spend $800 to build your own and have the best of both worlds.

It's worth the $2 I spent on it.
Watch the angry joe video to see how buggy it is.
Gotta love Photon Cannon.

in terms of the choice/consequence system the game gives you a lot of options in how conversations go and there effects both in the short and long term. i wouldnt say theres anything as significant as the witcher 2's ch1 end choice(in that it COMPLETELY changes the outcome of the levels), but AP's choices are far more persistent in the level design. Saving a character over here might alter enemy resistance in a later level. killing this person now could result in less intel options which means going into an area with unknown enemies and less resources/equipment. destroying or saving certain data could mean a friendly not helping with a boss battle or other later encounters. its stuff like that, but it seems like every single missions has certain ramifications or positives based on what youve done in earlier conversations or missions. Same goes for specific characters helping you. some people you meet in the first few hours of the game might not show up until the very end(or at all) based on how you treated them. its stuff like that which makes AP choice system so impressive and why its other janky unpolished aspects can somewhat be forgiven.
Currently playing: Darksiders - Crysis 2 - Skyrim
It's really hard to regret spending under $4. I played it years ago and rage quit. Upon playing a bit of it on PC for the first time, it's very frustrating for reasons like horribly designed minigames (alarms, computer hacking, and lock picking.) The gameplay itself is serviceable, the core concept is that you can play like the 3 JB's, Bond, Bauer, and Bourne. I hate stealth, but you do get the option to shoot your way through and deal with the consequences, it can be a big pain but brute force does work. The shooting is ok, it is very stat based being a game with the heart of a RPG so it depends on your skills and what each gun is capable of like range and recoil. Those minigames can be downright hair yanking rage and the tutorials aren't very useful so you'll have to get used to it. But being an Obsidian game, the writing is top notch. If you can look past some glaring flaws and standard gameplay, there is a cool game in there. Too bad there's not mod support because that could have really helped so much.

BEIJING – A man who texted police in China to donate his body and organs to science before hanging himself was denied his final wish because he had not applied in advance, official media reported Wednesday.
"I have decided to donate my body and all my organs to charity. When you receive my message, I will already be dead. Sorry for bothering you," the message was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua News Agency.
The man, surnamed Wang, was later found hanging from an air conditioning unit outside his house in Hangzhou, in the eastern province of Zhejiang, it reported. Two notes were found by his side. Wang, 30, suffered from muscular dystrophy. He felt he had suffered enough, but wanted to make a final contribution to society, Xinhua said.
"My last and biggest wish is to donate all my useful organs and body to charity. I hope you respect my choice," one of the notes read. But the local branch of the Chinese Red Cross refused to accept the donation as Wang had not applied in advance or taken the necessary checkup.

After a year of uncontested dominance, the Apple iPad is about to meet its first real challenger in the form of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. We put the Vodafone-exclusive model through its paces.
Until very recently, most tablets' photographic capabilities have fallen somewhere between rudimentary and non-existent – just look at the iPad 2's paltry 0.7MP camera for proof. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v is looking to buck this trend with a 8-megapixel AF camera boasting inbuilt flash and Full HD recording. A front-mounted 2-megapixel camera is also included for video chat.
The Samsing Galaxy Tab 10.1v comes with an 8.0MP camera.
Using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v as a camera isn't as awkward or cumbersome as you'd expect. In fact, we quite like the way it handles, with the 10in display providing an excellent view of subjects and surrounding scenery.
The photo capture button is located to the right of the screen within easy reach of the thumb. Other popular functions, such as colour filters, white balance, scene modes and an 8x digital zoom are just a quick fingertap away.
Against all odds, it actually feels intuitive. We used the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v to take a bunch of photos in public, and not once did we feel self-consciousness or silly. That said, it's not the sort of product you can just whip out of your pocket to take a quick happy-snap with. Subsequently, we suspect this feature may be neglected by most users.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1v's camera interface is surprisingly intuitive.
In terms of image quality, the Galaxy Tab 10.1v's camera is a bit of a mixed bag. Red eye marred a lot of our indoor shots, especially in auto mode, and the flash occassionally failed to sync with the camera's shutter. We even had the camera lock up completely on a few occassions, but again, this could be due to pre-production quirks. If the camera is especially important to you, our advice is to try before you buy.
The Galaxy Tab 10.v's camera does not come with any inbuilt editing options, although there are plenty of free apps available in the Android Marketplace.
Photos taken with the Galaxy Tab 10.1v occassionally suffer from red eye.
We were significantly more impressed by the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v's video performance. In High Quality mode, the Full HD camera did a great job at capturing crisp, vibrant video. Our footage looked superb during playback on the Tab, with no noticeable ghosting during panning shots. Naturally, the camera performs better in bright, outdoor environments, but we managed to get some great shots under moderate artificial lighting.
Manual options are predictably limited, although the inclusion of a timelapse tool is a nice bonus: it's perfect for capturing bustling city streets or the sinking sun. That said, the lack of a tripod socket means you may have trouble keeping the tablet steady when using this mode.
Movie Studio app for Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v's battery life is pretty respectable. Samsung quotes the battery life as 10 hours in 3G mode, and around 7 hours of video playback, which seemed to fall in line with our testing. We got around two days of off-and-on use, during which we surfed the Web, took and edited photos, shot video and checked emails. According to reports we've seen, the iPad 2 offers similar longevity.
Unlike with notebooks, the Samsung 6860mAh battery cannot be easily replaced or removed: you're basically stuck with it for the duration of your tablet's life.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v will be available exclusively through Vodafone from mid-April, for an RRP of $729. Alternatively, it can be bundled as part of a Vodafone plan for a $259 upfront payment, plus $39 per month over 12 months (includes 1.5GB of data per month).
If you're in the market for a tablet device, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v should definitely be on your shortlist. Its user-friendly interface, bouyed by Android's latest OS, makes it a joy to use in most situations. If the idea of 8-megapixel photos and Full HD recording appeals to you, it eats the iPad 2 for breakfast.

Villa San MicheleMap
The marvelous museum in Axel Munthe's dream home in Anacapri.
Special offers
Villa San Michele in Anacapri was the dream home of the Swedish physician, Axel Munthe.
Munthe first came to Capri in 1885. He built his villa on the ruins of an ancient Chapel dedicated to San Michele, following a series of sketches made on a wall.
''My house must be open to the sun, to the wind, and the voice of the sea, just like a Greek temple, and light, light, light everywhere!".
Axel Munthe
- Tour to Capri from Sorrento
- Tour to Capri from Positano and the Amalfi Coast
The result was a building articulated on various levels: the study is on the first floor, the loggia crosses pergolas and columns to reach a circular viewpoint which looks out across the Bay of Naples. In Villa San Michele a number of ancient artifacts are displayed - objects found by Munthe in Capri, Anacapri and elsewhere, some of which donated by friends. There are fragments of sarcophaguses, busts, Roman paving, marble and columns can be seen. In the garden there is a Greek tomb and a granite Sphinx which gazes out over the whole Island of Capri.
Munthe described the construction of the villa in his bestselling "The Story of San Michele", which has been translated into some 45 languages
With the exception of a few sporadic absences, Munthe lived on Capri for more than 56 years. His love of the island coincided with the growing popularity of Capri and the arrival of rich and famous travelers from all over the world. Today his villa is, together with the Grotta Azzurra, the most visited place on the whole of Capri.
Munthe shared his love of music, animals, and nature with the Swedish queen, Victoria, who spent long periods of her life on Capri for health reasons. Axel Munthe's concern for the birds on the island, which were shot in disastrous numbers, led him to acquire the rights to the Barbarossa Mountain in order to create a sanctuary for migrating birds.

Global radio communications specialist Simoco has won a tender to supply the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) with a Simoco Radio terminal and infrastructure solution that will be used by federal police, embassy staff and personnel at over 50 embassies worldwide.
With around a third of the rollout already complete, Simoco has installed over 1300 units around the world.
Some of Australia's embassies are located in the world's most volatile environments, meaning that a secure and robust Simoco solution including; multimode SRP9180 portables, SRM9000 mobiles and conventional infrastructure was determined as the best option for DFAT's needs.
Simoco has also supplied DFAT with customised desktop units with enhanced portability. In the event of an emergency evacuation, the DFAT desktop base stations can be easily disconnected from mains power and relocated, while continuing to fully operate due to a high capacity battery incorporated into the design.
Ian Carr, CEO of Simoco Group, commented: "We are very proud to be able to supply our Simoco P25 upgradable radio systems to DFAT and have already deployed the solution to over 17 locations worldwide. DFAT operates in some unpredictable situations that require best in breed critical communications support.
"Simoco project engineers worked closely with DFAT to develop a custom solution, which is essential in safeguarding personnel and ensuring communications remain open in emergency situations."
Garry Mettner, Sales Director at Simoco Australasia added: "DFAT is also able to take advantage of simple migration though Simoco's Xmode multimode operation. Once upgraded to P25, Xmode will enable DFAT staff to select from multiple radio protocols including full Analogue PMR, MPT1327 as well as P25 Conventional and P25 Trunking at the touch of a button. This was a highly important consideration for DFAT as it gives them assurance that their communication investment is protected when they choose to migrate to P25 Digital.
Simoco will continue to roll out the P25 upgradable systems to DFAT locations over the coming months.

As an employer you have the right to require employees and job applicants to be drug-free. Therefore you have the right to implement a drug screening program and to establish a drug screening policy that requires all employees to acknowledge the policy. IDT can help you develop a comprehensive substance abuse prevention policy and implement a drug testing program that is customized to meet your requirements.
How Illegal Drug Use Impacts the Workplace
According to the American Council for Drug Education, employees who abuse drugs or alcohol are:
• 66% more likely to miss work
• 33% less productive
• 77% are more likely to be discharged within three years than employees who test negative
• Nearly 4 times as likely to be involved in on-the-job accidents
• 5 times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim
• 3 times costlier to the U.S. healthcare system
• Responsible for 40% of all industrial fatalities
Pre-employment drug screening and on-going employee drug testing can help employers achieve a healthier and more productive work force. A healthier and more productive workforce drives business results. Pre-employment drug testing will:
• Improve the overall quality of job applicants
• Reduce the incidence of accidents
• Reduce losses due to theft and fraud
• Reduce absenteeism
• Reduce employee turnover
• Eliminate wasted recruiting and training expense
• Improve employee morale and productivity
• Help control the rising cost of healthcare and worker's compensation insurance
More than 70 percent of substance abusers hold jobs; one worker in four, ages 18 to 34, used drugs in the past year; and one worker in three knows of drug sales in the workplace.
Americans consume 60 percent of the world's production of illegal drugs: 23 million use marijuana at least four times a week; 18 million abuse alcohol; 6 million regularly use cocaine; and 2 million use heroin.
In the workplace, the problems of these substance abusers become your problems. They increase risk of accident, lower productivity, raise insurance costs, and reduce profits. They can cost you your job; they can cost you your life.
Most HR and Safety professionals have found drug testing to be a valuable and cost-effective risk management tool.
Here's what to look for:
• Frequent, prolonged, and often unexplained absences
• Involvement in accidents both on and off the job
• Erratic work patterns and reduced productivity
• Indifference to personal hygiene
• Overreaction to real or imagined criticism
• Such overt physical signs as exhaustion or hyperactivity, dilated pupils, slurred speech, or an unsteady walk
Pre employment drug testing has become a common hiring requirement. With the US Department of Labor has estimating that drug use in the workplace costs employers up to $100 billion dollars annually in lost work time, accidents, health care costs and workers compensation costs, more and more employers are implementing drug testing and screening procedures. The majority of all Fortune 500 companies do employee drug testing.
Most pre-employment drug testing is urine-based. This form of testing is considered to be an 'intelligent' test. Generally pre-employment drug screening helps the employer to develop a healthy and more productive working environment, improving profits and also helps in monitoring drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace. Most companies have a written drug testing policy that requires job applicants to be drug-free. All applicants who have received a conditional offer of employment must take a drug test before receiving a final offer of employment.

Moderation is Key
But now I'm thinking I might have one. Why do I think that?
Exhibit A: Diet Coke. Just look at the plethora of empty cans in my car and recycling bin if you want to know how bad that one is.
Exhibit B: Cheese, and cheese dip in particular. Because cheese literally makes EVERYTHING taste better.
Exhibit C: Mexican food. I can eat it every single day of the week without getting sick of it. And I proved that two weeks ago.
Exhibit D: Whipped cream from a can. I love it. I will have hot chocolate, coffee, pumpkin pie, ice cream . . . just so I can load it up with whipped cream on top. We're talking like a can a week, and Adam barely uses any. I blame my mom, she's the one who taught me (along with my sisters and various cousins) to spray it directly into my mouth.
I feel as though my problem is mostly a matter of knowing when to stop. My best friend always tells her son to "listen to his body" (he's potty training) and I'm pretty sure that's what I should be doing. But my body gives me mixed signals. My stomach might say "Stop. For the love of all that's good in the world, stop." But my taste buds? They're singing a different tune.
Unfortunately, I think I may have passed my inability to use moderation or self-control in food consumption onto my daughter. Because this is her "I ate too much cake" face . . . And trust me, I recognize it because I know just how she feels.

This post cracked me up! Our dogs love whipped cream as a treat. We just squirt a little bit on the floor! You arent the only one!ReplyDelete
Hellooo... that's me with coffee. CanNOT stop, no matter how bad the buzz gets. Even buy the "Rockstar" stuff in a can if I can't get a hot cuppa. (and as for cheese...right now, Kroger has a deal going on... buy any 10 of certain designated items, all of which are already on sale, and get $5 off your bill. And yes, there is a plethora of cheese in the mix... shredded, sliced, you name it. My fridge is full... oh, and there are some Mexican items as well. I have leftover steak, so we will be noshing on steak enchiladas tonight.... smothered in cheese.... mmmmm.... )ReplyDelete
HAHA! Love it :)ReplyDelete
Oh my word Jayci's face is priceless!ReplyDelete

I read your post this morning and you made me want cheese dip, so I went to walmart and now I am eating some! :)
I could also eat Mexican food 3 times a day, 7 days a week, and never get tired of it.
I totally have an addictive personality like that too... but sadly, my face doesnt look that adorable when I have chocolate smeared all over my face! :)ReplyDelete
Oh how cute!!! And I am so with you on the Mexican food and cheese. If it didn't taste so darn good, then I'd be able to stay away!!! well.. maybe =)ReplyDelete
Can I just repost that to my blog. That is ME all over... down to loving whipped cream which I don't keep in my house for the very reason that it doesn't last very long there! Love, love it!ReplyDelete
Ohhhhh. I know that face too! poor thing!ReplyDelete
Also - I wanted to tell you that I have an award for you on my blog when you have the chance to stop by.
Have a great Tuesday!
haha! She is too cute...she looks so guilty!ReplyDelete
I am so addicted to Diet Coke...and the BIG ones from Burger King, haha! I would even drag the kids out in bad weather...like a 'coke' addict and say, "Mommy needs to get a drink!" I have no self control when it comes to food either...luckily i've been restricted to what i can eat lately because of some dental work, and it's killing me! I'm in withdrawal not having me some chips and salsa! :)
Hahah LOVE IT! I have an addicitve personality also, don't worry!ReplyDelete
she is te most adorable thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha and so are you!!ReplyDelete
lol. adorable!ReplyDelete
I had three baskets of chips at South of the Border last night.ReplyDelete

PS - Good to know that we already know what kind of restaurant we'll go to next time I'm town.
Whipped Cream from a can. I knew I liked you.ReplyDelete
I swear I just love her! and your sense of humor makes we think we would get along splendidly :)ReplyDelete
That face. That precious face and that look. Oh good grief, that picture made my weekend!!ReplyDelete
Yeah, my body lies to me all the time. Or else waits UNTIL I've eaten the last milk chocolate macadamia lacy to say, "You shouldn't have eaten that last one." Really? Now you tell me?
I'd love to meet moderation.He must not live in my neighborhood.

One of the musicians set to per- form is Ludwig Treviranus, who's studied his craft in the United States, and established a perform- ing and teaching practice in Sydney. He performs the com- poser Modest Mussorg- sky's work Pictures at an Exhibition in Howick on November 15. Fellow musician John- Paul Muir has studied the artist masters pro- gramme at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He's performed recently on Michael Parekowhai's carved piano, at New Zealand's exhibition in the Venice Biennale arts festival in Italy, and for members of the British royal family. Mr Muir plays a programme of music by composers Schubert, Ravel and Chopin on December 6. "On November 1, we have iden- tical twins Olivia and Grace Fran- cis to start the Thursdays @ Seven series by teaming up for a recital of music for violin and piano," says Mr Watts. "These two 20-year- olds are third-year stu- dents at the University of Auckland and have already distinguished themselves by winning prizes in competitions around the world. "Olivia has been a con- certmaster of the NZ National Youth Orches- tra, marking her as one of the brightest violin talents in the country. "Grace was named New Zea- land's national young performer of the year in 2010. She's since gone on to performances of piano con- certos with a number of the coun- try's leading orchestras. "Olivia and Grace love perform- ing together and this programme provides a great variety of solo and duo music." The frst concert in the Thursdays @ Seven classical music series is at 7pm on November 1 at All Saints Anglican Church, Selwyn Road, Howick. Admission is by donation. Series draws stars GRACE FRANCIS Photo supplied CUSTOMS Minister Maurice Williamson says a concerted effort to choke off the supply of methamphetamine (P) precursor drugs is paying dividends. More than 1.2 tonnes of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine was captured by Customs in 921 seizures in 2009, which was a record high. "In the frst nine months of this year, just over 300 kilograms was intercepted in 264 seizures," says Mr Williamson, the MP for Pakuranga. "We believe measures the Government has taken since 2009 have resulted in the supply of precursors being constrained and it's refected in the statistics." The Government has focused on attacking the supply, manufacture and consumption of methamphetamine because of its dominance of the illicit drug market. In 2009, the Methamphetamine Action Plan was released with the goal of signifcantly reducing methamphetamine use and its associated harm. "In 2010, I signed a memorandum of co-operation with China, which is the country's primary source of methamphetamine precursors. Since then, both Customs administrations have worked to stem the import of precursors from China." The Integrated Targeting and Operations Centre, which assesses threats and targets risks to the border more effciently, also opened in the past two years. "While evidence suggests the methamphetamine market is smaller now than it was, the battle is not over and we must remain vigilant," says Mr Williamson. "By reducing the amount of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine coming across the border, we can prevent millions of dollars of harm to the country." Success in war against P

One of the debates within the GOP leadership is whether the eventual presidential candidate should mount an aggressive, attack-style campaign against President Barack Obama or take a less confrontational path.
Among those who favor a softer approach, the thinking is that the electorate is put off by mud-slinging politics. Since polls indicate that President Obama is personally popular, a kinder, gentler style would be more appealing to the undecided and independent voters. As some point out, the president was just named America's most admired male.
In politics, the kid glove method loses. The idea that voters are turned off by overly aggressive campaigning is one that's advanced by candidates who sense that defeat is in the offing. Look at the passive and futile campaign John McCain waged in 2008. For contrast, consider the recent ads Mitt Romney and others launched in Iowa that put the skids to the former leading contender Newt Gingrich.
Come November, I expect a good old-fashioned political brawl with both sides throwing plenty of punches. President Obama is an exceedingly vulnerable incumbent. Three years ago, he promised the moon but has since delivered next to nothing. Platitudes like "change you can believe in" and "transparency in government" won't work this time around.
During this election cycle, President Obama won't be able to count on abstract promises. His performance record is a yoke around his neck that he can't free himself from. Voters are disillusioned, broke and angry. Congress' approval rating is 11 percent, the lowest since Gallup began polling decades ago. That's a more accurate benchmark of where President Obama stands than his 42 percent job performance approval rating.
President Obama's 3-year record is cast in stone. Since the 2012 election will indisputably be a referendum on his accomplishments, or lack thereof, the American electorate can decide for itself whether he deserves a second term.
In 2008, candidate Obama convinced voters that he would deliver an economic recovery, cheaper health care, reduced spending, bipartisan leadership and the highest ethical standards ever seen in Washington.
Instead, President Obama has presided over economic stagnation, rising health care costs, record spending and deficits, unparalleled partisanship and a White House that can barely contain scandals like Fast and Furious.
Nevertheless, President Obama likes his chances. Back in September, he said: "I just have to remind people that here's one thing I know for certain: The odds of me being reelected are much higher than the odds of me being elected in the first place."
I disagree. When Obama announced his candidacy for president in February 2007, the odds of an obscure former Illinois state senator rising to the presidency within a decade were long. What shortened them was the media's love affair with then-Sen. Obama and McCain's staggering ineptitude.
When considering President Obama's 2012 prospects, remember what he said during the early days of his first term: "If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition."
Assuming the Republicans get their act together, one and done seems the likely outcome of President Obama's re-election effort.

Ann Nichol lost her son John Cecil, 36, when the Sea King helicopter he was travelling in crashed during the first few days of the war.
Colour Sergeant Cecil was one of eight personnel from Plymouth-based 3 Commando Brigade who died in the crash in Kuwait.
Mrs Nichol, 58, of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, reacted angrily to US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's admission that the weapons may never be found.
She said: "If this turns out to be a lie then Tony Blair should resign and he should be prosecuted under international law as a war criminal.
"If they don't find any weapons of mass destruction then this war has been based on lies and they have put the lives of all our sons and daughters on the line for nothing."
Mr Blair is facing mounting pressure over the issue of whether Saddam Hussein had had nuclear, chemical or biological weapons
No physical evidence of weapons of mass destruction has been found so far in Iraq.
The prime minister has continued to defend his position and has called for patience as the hunt for the weapons continues.
Mrs Nichol said: "We didn't fight this war for just reasons as there wasn't any threat to the UK from Saddam Hussein."

To the OP, 1994-'95 was not a memorable season at all. Not just because of the shortened season, but also because of the players that season. Mario sat out all year. Gretzky showed the first signs of really slowing down. The aura of the Canadiens was starting to get wiped out as they missed the postseason. Roy had a bad year too. The NHL was almost in a transition period of time. The stars that would show up later in the decade weren't all hitting their peak yet. Lindros broke out as did Jagr but Kariya and Forsberg were rookies. Messier was older as well and less effective. It was also the first of the great old stadiums to go. Chicago was in the United Center by now replacing the classic Chicago Stadium. This was Boston's last year in the Garden as well.
Then the postseason was one of the worst in NHL history. The dreaded trap bored us all to death. Jersey winning the Cup in 1995 was a blow to the game of hockey as was the awful officiating in the Quebec/NYR series. Not really a memorable NHL year. A sweep in the final too.
Well the '95 playoffs were actually higher scoring than '94 and not too far off from '93. It was odd because it wasn't particularly exciting hockey despite that and despite the first round featuring four 7 game series and not a sweep to be seen (but four sweeps in 7 remaining series did follow). Just a lot of blowouts (Rangers beat Nords 8-3, Caps beat Pens 6-2 twice in a row before getting shellacked 7-1 themselves, Devils beat Bruins 5-0, Blues beat the Canucks 8-2 in game 6 of their series, Flames beat San Jose 9-2 and 5-0, Detroit demolishes San Jose in what I like to call the double straight sets series: 6-0, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2). Scoring dropped after the 1st round big time as it normally does though and we got to see Jersey trap its way to Cup glory but Detroit had allowed just as few goals and scored at a similar pace. The perception was that they did it by being fast, entertaining and effective.
Jersey don't forget scored 5 in the two home wins. Their 67 goals in 20 games would look brilliant if we saw it today. Hell the Kings romped 16-4 but only scored at a 2.5 goal per game pace. Is today's hockey much better? Not a ton IMO. Less sloppy but even more robotic). I've seen most of these on NHL Network Classic Series episodes and few of the series were that exciting. Even the highly offensive Flames-Sharks series lacked much excitement outside of games 1-2 and 7. Some of 1994's series were classics and arguably the only 1995 series that could come close to that would be the Leafs-Hawks which went to 7. Pens-Caps was another Washington 3-1 series collapse yet it wasn't a thrilling series, just one full of mediocre goaltending all around and Jagr making it look easy. Flames-Sharks was too wide open, sloppy and too many one-sided games to be considered classic. Irbe was brutal (doing his special delivery giveaway goals and then flipping out in game 5 with a helmet headbutt to Sheldon Kennedy that got him ejected and Kennedy busted up real nicely. Wade Flaherty got a chance as a result).
It was in fact the highest scoring 7 game series in NHL history plus the Flames somehow lost it despite outscoring San Jose 35-26 and setting a new NHL record with 6 shorthanded goals in one series (the Sharks hold the NHL post-season record for most shorties allowed in one playoff year with 11 and they did this in only 10 games somehow. That speaks to the sloppiness). Well it had to do with Trevor Kidd being awful but he wasn't alone since many goalies had to iron out the kinks and many were in what would normally be mid-season form for the playoffs and not clutch form. For example, Ron Hextall gave up a GWG slapper from just inside the blue line down the wing from Claude Lemieux and Garth Snow was not much of an improvement. Ed Belfour fell apart with many stinkers in the Western Final including an OT whiff in game 3 that buried the Haws for good.
Kirk McLean and Curtis Joseph didn't even look too hot plus Quebec was doomed with a Fiset-Thibault duo and we saw just why Jim Carey "Net Detective" would someday be labelled a fluke. Hasek had done commendable work but it wasn't enough since Philly bested Buffalo in every facet. Potvin did ok in a first round exit too. It was a crappy display outside of Brodeur and Vernon but even Vernon looked lost in games 3-4 of the Cup Final. But overall 1995 paled next to even 1992 when there were sweeps abound. At the end, it was a disappointment, featuring all the Canadian and most of the original six clubs gone by the 3rd round. Also it lacked the star power seen in 1994 (Messier, Leetch, Richter vs. Linden, Bure, McLean), 1993 (Gretzky, Robitaille, Blake vs. Roy, Muller, Damphousse) or especially 1992 (Lemieux, Jagr, Stevens, Barrasso, Francis, Tocchet vs. Roenick, Chelios, Larmer, Belfour). Looking back, 1995 was the lamest playoff year since 1977 (which was simply a Canadiens cakewalk without any upset stories along the way).

RE:Saffron Burrows makes This bad
Saffron Burrows is the worst actress ever! She ruined the entire play. All of the actors were excellent but every time Saffron Burrows opens her mouth, moves, makes an appearance on stage all you want to do is runway as fast as you can away from the theatre house. If the director could replace her, they should, she ruined the entire play! So, sad.

Botekim Bistro is the latest Brazilian restaurant to hit the scene in Marietta. If Buford Highway is our Chinatown, then the Delk Rd / Powers Ferry / Terrell Mill area is our Brazilian Eatery mecca. Within that area are a handful of Brazilian restaurants, some are Churrascarias and some are not. Botekim Bistro is not. It already has glowing reviews from the AJC, Creative Loafing and others.
I chose Botekim for my Birthday dinner, opting for a low key evening out. The space is not much to look at from the outside. However, it is pretty inside with hardwood flooring and exposed duct work. We started the evening with two of Botekim's cocktails – the Scottish Mule and their version of a Margarita. Both were overly sweet. But the wine list is quite nice. So skip the cocktails and focus on the wine. There are some unique wines like Pinot Gris or Douro that you won't find elsewhere.
For starters we chose the Yucca fritters and the Sausage with toast points. Both were delicious and the highlight of our meal. The Yucca fritters are like a pastry filled with savory ground beef. The sausage was perfectly done and had a wonderful smokey flavor. Both of these appetizers were $8 and if you have a large group the sausage app is where you get the most bang for your buck. Drive ITP and you'd get half that size for the same price. My only regret is not having a glass of red to savor with that sausage.
We noticed that there is a prix fixe menu available: 2 courses for $19 or 3 courses for $24. So we opted for the 2 course option (apps were part of that offering) and got the Flounder and Shepherd's Pie for our entrees. The Flounder had a sauce with shrimp, capers and other goodies that was just delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. I ordered the Shepherd's pie because one of how much Cliff Bostock of Creative Loafing gushed about how delightful it was. He must've tasted something very different than what I had because most of what I tasted was salt. It did have a nice flavor but was completely overpowered by the salt.
We were quite full and got our dessert to go, but I wish we would have skipped it altogether. The flan was super tiny a way too rich for what I was expecting. Totally not worth the money. I'd definitely stop in again if for nothing else than those tasty appetizers. The service was another highlight, with the owner making recommendations and checking in to make sure each table was enjoying their meals.

The Potawatomi were collectors and gatherers of animals and plants for food. They would move from place to place with the seasons in order to allow these plants and animals to grow back.
The Potawatomi learned how to farm from neighboring tribes. The women's job in the tribe was to plant, nurture, and harvest the crops. They raised beans, peas, squash, tobacco, melons and corn. Most extra crops were dried and stored for the winter. The rest were used to trade with other tribes.
As the Potawatomi became better farmers, they began to settle down. They lived in villages close to their crops and only left the villages during long winter hunts. The Potawatomi would move their villages every ten to twelve years, when the soil became drained and crops no longer grew very well.
The Potawatomi liked the taste of a seed-bearing grass called wild rice. This grass grew naturally in the streams and marshes were they lived. They harvested the grain from their canoes. Wild rice was an important part of their diet. They also used it to trade with other tribes who did not have access to the rice.
Tobacco, though not a food item, was an important plant to the Potawatomi. They believed it was a gift from the spirits. The Potawatomi made frequent offerings to the spirits for this plant. Before they began a wild rice harvest, for example, they would toss a few pinches of dried tobacco leaves on the water to make sure they got a lot of rice.
Tobacco was also used to set up relationships between people. A pinch of tobacco was placed in the stone bowl of a long, feather-decorated pipe called a calumet. Peace treaties between tribes were sealed by the passing and smoking of this sacred pipe.
Throughout the year, both men and women fished in the lakes. Every autumn, men, women, and children all went into the woods for the winter hunt. They did not return until spring. Buffalo hunting provided them with a good supply of meat and skins for the winter months.
The Potawatomi used their knowledge of animals to help them find nuts and berries. The deer mouse, for example, gathers nuts for the winter. The Potawatomi watched the mouse do this, then waited for the first snow and searched out the storage places of these small animals.
Along with what they hunted and gathered, the Potawatomi ate "fene," which was made from the nut of the beech tree. The nuts were roasted and pounded into flour for breads and other foods.
They ate a soup that was made with wild rice and blueberries. Another soup was made from cattail roots. This plant was also eaten raw or dried and pounded into flour for bread. They made puddings from pumpkins and squash, or from popped corn and chestnuts. They added maple syrup to many foods for flavor.
When food was plentiful, the Potawatomi would plan special feasts. The feasts were given for a variety of reasons, such as success in hunting or welcoming of strangers. The meal would consist of four courses: the first platter contained two white fish boiled in water; the second served boiled tongue and breast meat of a deer; the third platter had two wood hens, the hind feet of a bear, and the tail of a beaver; and the fourth course was a large amount of broth made from several kinds of meat. Maple syrup was mixed with water to make a sweet drink that was served with the meal.
The Potawatomi valued the resources provided by the lands and water around them. They never took more than they needed of the plants and animals. Instead, they shared with others their gifts from the land.

'Atari: Game Over' Doc First Trailer About 'E.T.' Video Game Fiasco
by Ethan Anderton
July 29, 2014
Source: Xbox
If you're more than a casual video game fan, then you might already know about the infamous attempt at an Atari game that was E.T., based on Steven Spielberg's modern classic sci-fi film of the same name. The game is regarded as one of the worst ever made, and one of the biggest blunders ever by any tech company in history, one that almost sank the entire video game industry back in the 80s. If this sounds familiar, that's because the film just made the news recently after being behind the dig into a New Mexico landfill where millions of unsold copies of E.T. were buried. Now the documentary Atari: Game Over from director Zak Penn dives into the story of Atari and this failed game and the first trailer has arrived. Watch!
Here's the trailer for Zak Penn's documentary Atari: Game Over, direct from Xbox:
Atari: Game Over is directed by Zak Penn (director of The Grand, writer of The Avengers, Last Action Hero) and is the first in a feature documentary series called "Signal to Noise" from Xbox Entertainment Studios. The documentary ells the story of Atari, which went from being the fastest growing company in American history, to the producer of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial for the Atari 2600, a game that failed so miserably Atari ended up burying thousands of unsold copies of it in a landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Game creator Howard Warshaw and more are interviewed in the film arriving on Xbox sometime this fall. Cool?

"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." Martin Luther King
Strong words spoken by a strong man. Strong words that are just as true today as they were when he spoke them.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a trail blazer in the world of Civil Rights who strongly believed that until all people were "free" none of us would be. He fought not only for African American rights but for a true understanding between all races and religions.
"All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality."
His public visibility grew as his speeches began to get increased coverage by the news media and the numbers at his rallies steadily expanded from thousands to tens of thousands. And they weren't all African Americans either. Whites heard and understood his message and joined the rallies and marches too, by the thousands. March 1963 Washington, D.C.; December 1964, Selma, Alabama; March 25th 1965 Montgomery, Alabama to name a few. But unfortunately notoriety usually comes with a very dark side.
Who can forget those ugly images of high pressure water hoses being turned on the demonstrators; or the armies of police that waded into the crowds swinging night sticks and rubber batons. But Martin Luther King Jr. refused to give up and continued to speak of peace and passive resistance not heeding the cries for violence. But on April 4th, 1968 the violence caught up to the man and at 6:01 pm a single bullet did what all the hateful voices could not. At 7:05 p.m. Martin Luther King Jr. was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Most of us knew Martin Luther King Jr. the legend but did we really know "who" Martin Luther King Jr. the man was?
Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15th, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. King's father, Reverend Martin Luther King, was born "Michael King", and Martin Luther King, Jr., was originally named "Michael King, Jr.," until the family traveled to Europe in 1934 and visited Germany where his father soon changed both of their names to Martin Luther in honor of the German Protestant leader Martin Luther.
King Jr. attended Booker T. Washington High School where he skipped both the ninth and the twelfth grade before entered Morehouse College at age fifteen. In 1948, he graduated from Morehouse with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, and enrolled in Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951.
In 1954 he became Pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama and in 1960 until his death he was co-pastor, with his father at the Ebenezer Baptist church in Atlanta.
On June 18, 1953, King married Coretta Scott, in her hometown of Heiberger, Alabama. They had four children; Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter Scott King, and Bernice King. Soon after he began his doctoral studies in systematic theology at Boston University and received his Doctor of Philosophy on June 5, 1955, with a dissertation on "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman."
In 1964, at age 35 Martin Luther King, Jr. became the youngest man to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He immediately turned the prize money over to the Civil Rights Movement.
After his death stories began to appear attempting to tarnish the image of the legend. Reports often contained rumors of his womanizing, illicit sexual encounters, use of foul language and lavish parties. Even though some of these allegations were later to be proven true do they really diminish the image of the legend and the man? What people must realize, when all is said and done, most legends are just men or woman at the end of the day. They are just as susceptible to the same human frailties and vices all of us are. Occasionally we all slip off that white horse they are no different. We need to remember the great things Martin Luther King Jr. did and the beliefs he died for and let history make its own judgment on the man.
In 1983 President Ronald Reagan signed a law that made Martin Luther King day an official holiday. At first numerous states refused to observe the holiday, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. Then finally in 2000, it was officially observed in all 50 states.
"When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Gods children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Journeys for the mind, heart and soul
The maiden trip of the College's new Alumni Travel Study program sets the stage for a lifetime of learning in cities around the globe.
By Maria Healey
Holy Cross alumni speak often of the worlds that the College opens to them. Be it the wisdom born of a liberal arts education, or the continuing opportunities the Holy Cross family affords after graduation, the reach of the College into the lives of its graduates is meaningful and enduring. There has long been an annual Alumni Education Day on campus. Alumni social trips to Ireland, France and Italy have always been popular and festive. But recently, the College added an adventurous new element that will further enrich its mission of building a lifetime learning community.
"We are trying to recreate the Holy Cross experience of values, quality education and friendships in the best classrooms that the world has to offer," says Bob Crimmins '65, the director of the program. "We started with a travel/study tour of Tuscany, and now we are looking at other horizons— Portugal, China, places like that." Crimmins is working with the College as a consultant after 35 years of practicing law.
The travel/study program, he explains, is just one part of an overall program of alumni education, initiated and supported by Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J., president of the College, and Senior Vice President Frank Vellaccio.
"We are hoping to get an online program under way this coming semester," Crimmins says. "In the meantime, Fr. Philip Rule, who just retired from the English department, is looking into a speakers' bureau of Holy Cross faculty, regional conferences and, ultimately, a residential college here on campus devoted to summertime courses for alumni. It's all very exciting especially after the great success of the Tuscany trip."
Structurally, the nascent Holy Cross program is modeled after the Washington & Lee University program, Crimmins explains. The director of that program reports to the University's provost.
"That's very important—it makes the faculty a crucial part of the program, and no alumni education program is going to be successful without the support of the faculty," he says. "We have been very fortunate with the way the faculty has given wholehearted support to our endeavors—even donating the benefit of their individual experiences with alumni education elsewhere. We're grateful to the dean of the College, Stephen Ainlay, in that regard.":
"As for the content of the trips," Crimmins continues, "that's pure Holy
Cross. We self-produced the Tuscany trip. This was not an 'off-the-shelf' trip packaged by a travel company, in which the school's professor is relegated to incidental status. Our educators picked the places we went and made sure the locales, the lectures and the activities fit the goals of alumni education that Fr. McFarland had prescribed for us: quality lifelong education for our alumni, the continuing inculcation of Jesuit ideals and the building up of a sense of community among all the class years."
If its initial trip is any indication, the program is primed for success. Last April, 23 travelers departed for an eight-day trip to Italy on a journey that integrated intellectual, spiritual and social components. The itinerary for Tuscany: Culture and Christianity began in Rome, then moved to Orvieto and the Tuscan countryside—where the group spent the bulk of the trip touring ruins, museums and the homes of local Italians.
"The reason for the stops in Rome and Orvieto—neither of which is in Tuscana," says Crimmins, "was so that Professor Tom Martin (chair of the classics department) could explain how Etrurian culture affected Western civilization and, so, Christianity, in ancient times, and then in Rome, and then again in the Renaissance."
The trip was planned by Crimmins, Martin and Susanna Buricchi, an Italian art history scholar and consultant in the Superintendence of Fine Arts in Florence. The three assembled the itinerary a year in advance, in a preliminary scouting trip to Italy to find locations that were relevant to the theme and logistically feasible, given the time frame.
In Rome, the group visited the new Centrale Montemartini Museum, a converted power station now housing ancient Roman art among old generators and boilers. It proved to be a fascinating means by which to introduce a major idea of the entire trip: the conjoining of the ancient and the modern.
While in Rome the group visited Il Gesu—the Jesuit Church there—and viewed the rooms of St. Ignatius. Holy Cross president emeritus, Rev. John E. Brooks, S.J., '49, who traveled with the tour, said Mass—and due, in part, to Fr. Brooks' rapport with the caretaker of the church, the hidden "treasures" of the rooms were opened up for the Holy Cross alumni, their families and friends.
"I lived in Rome for a number of years in the '60s," says Fr. Brooks, "and the rooms were not open then. This experience was pretty direct contact with the founder of the Jesuits."
Fr. Brooks' role on the trip was to speak on humanism and the history of the Jesuits—particularly the influence of the Renaissance on Jesuit spirituality and the educational traditions at the College.
"When the Society was founded back in 1540," explains Fr. Brooks, "a lot of Jesuits were living in Rome, and their idea was not to duplicate monastic life but to move through the city—the city itself was their field of endeavor. They continued, as the years went by, with foreign missions to India and Spain and Portugal and the rest of Europe.
"To hear, in Ignatius' rooms, how the Society embraced the Renaissance and its purposes was revealing to the group," Fr. Brooks continues. "It tied in well with what we're trying to do at Holy Cross. It was clear that we're here to serve."
"That Mass brought the group together," says Stephen Reichheld '83, who took the trip with his wife, Deb, and their three children.
"It was clearly a place that not a lot of people are allowed to visit," he explains. "There's a little stone in the floor of the room where Ignatius passed away. The caretaker opened up 'The Cabinet of Relics,' and we saw St. Ignatius' death mask. It was powerful."
"You walked out of that Mass so touched," says Deb Reichheld, who went to Fairfield University in Connecticut. "There was elation at just being there, knowing it was such a special experience."
The experience was made more special because the Holy Cross visit took place between the funeral of Pope John Paul II and the conclave that elected his successor. Rev. Gerald O'Collins, S.J., a professor at Rome 's Gregorian Institute and the BBC's Vatican expert, spent an evening with the Holy Cross group, privately briefing them on the traditions and expectations of the conclave.
With such a send-off, the group embarked for Orvieto, where the days revolved around places and artifacts that resonated with a similar theme.
"You really experience history—continuity and change—on this itinerary in an organic way that can't be matched except through travel study in the true meaning of the phrase," says Martin, who is an internationally known expert on the Etruscan and Roman cultures.
"We tried to touch on themes that included cultural views of religion," says Martin. "Especially the connection between this life and the next life in these cultures, across times.
"In Orvieto," he explains, "we began with a visit to the Necropolis (the Etruscan City of the Dead), with its tombs built like little houses in a carefully relegated subdivision, laid out mathematically—which implies a belief in the afterlife as an extremely orderly community.
"Later," Martin continues, "we visited famous Renaissance frescoes by Signorelli in the cathedral in Orvieto—an entire wall covered in a graphic, even horrifying, depiction of the Day of Judgment in the Christian tradition—which anticipates Michelangelo's Day of Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.
"Then," he adds, "we had lunch in an Italian bistro that sits atop a deep cistern system carved a hundred feet or more down into the living rock—where you literally climb through our theme: seeing how the Etruscans created the system; the Romans modified it—and, then, the Christians took it over by the medieval period."
"They wove this picture for us of how pre-Christianity developed," says Deb Reichheld—"how it grew over time. The scholars showed the layers of history that developed in order to establish what we think and believe today—all the way from our pagan roots to the Vatican."
Reichheld praised the trip as a gift.

Airbus A350: From factory to flight
The new A350XWB is a vital aircraft for Airbus. The result of a $15bn investment, it is being marketed as a direct competitor to Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
And like its rival, the A350 has been largely built using carbon composites and other advanced materials in an effort to minimise weight and maximise fuel efficiency.
Theo Leggett has been looking at some of the processes involved and finding out why it is not just Airbus which needs the A350 programme to be a success.

It was just the first day, but Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles made it through Friday's training camp practice and seemed pleased with how it went, to say the least.
"I feel I've got my swag back," Charles said. "My legs feel fresh. I've been out from football for (10 months) so it feels real good to be out on the field again."
Charles is coming back from an ACL tear in September. He's looking to re-gain his 2010 form when he gained more than 1,900 yards from scrimmage on 275 touches.
Fantasy Analysis:
If Charles' knee is as good as he says, his main concern is now Peyton Hillis , against whom he's competing for playing time. Hillis should take all of the goal-line touches, but Charles at 100 percent should claim the lion's share of the backfield touches just based on his game-breaking ability and versatility. Charles is correctly ranked as the No. 10 RB, according to FFToolbox. But if the Chiefs run it as often as they would like, Charles will have top-5 upside.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
You Can't Take It With You Revisited
Also see Richard's reviews of The Chairs and Nightfall
The Willows Theatre Group opens their 27th season with a revival of George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's 1936 Pulitzer Prize winning comedy You Can't Take It With You. This comedy satire of the original dysfunctional family group has popped up almost everywhere since it was first presented at the Booth Theatre on December 14, 1936, where it ran for 837 performances. That original cast had Henry Travers in the role of Grandpa Vanderhof with Josephine Hull taking over the role of Penelope Sycamore. My first time to see this wonderful piece was in 1965 when the revival played the Lyceum Theatre in New York with Donald Moffat in the role of Grandpa. Sidney Walker, who later became one of ACT's best actors, played Paul Sycamore, and young Rosemary Harris was Alice Sycamore. The revival ran for 239 performances. The second time I saw this very funny farce was the 1984 revival at the Plymouth Theatre with an all-star cast including Jason Roberts as Grandpa, and Elizabeth Wilson and Jack Dodson as Mr. and Mrs. Sycamore, plus some splendid cameos by Colleen Dewhurst as the Grand Duchess Olga and James Coco as Boris. The wonderful pixie Bill McCutcheon played Mr. DePinna.
Many regional companies have presented this delightful feel good comedy, including a splendid production by TheatreWorks several years ago. It seems whenever a company wants to present an upbeat, popular comedy that will appeal to the masses, they pick this Kaufman and Hart play.
The Sycamore family of New York is probably the most silly family ever presented on stage. They are headed by Grandpa Vanderhof (Stu Klitsner) who walked away from his office job several years back and has never returned. He now bides his time attending college commencements and collecting snakes. He has not paid his income taxes for over 28 years, but he does not care. His daughter Penelope, or Penny, (Barbara Grant) churns out play after play on a mistakenly-delivered typewriter; however, she never completes the works. At present, she is working on a play involving a nightclub singer who goes to a monastery and stays for seven years. Now she is trying to figure out how to get the girl out of the monastery. Penny's husband Paul (Gary Mutz) and pipe smoking Mr. DePinna (Irv Siegel) manufacture fireworks in the cellar. DePinna is not a member of the family, but he delivered ice to the house seven years prior and has never left the premises. (You get the idea on how screwball this comedy becomes).
Daughter Essie (Rami Margron) has been taking ballet lessons in the living room under a Russian bear of a teacher named Boris (John Langdon) for seven years. He says her dancing "stinks." Essie's husband Ed (Cassidy Brown) plays a xylophone to accompany her dancing, and he also distributes left-wing propaganda in homemade candy to clients in the neighborhood. The only 'normal' person is the other Sycamore daughter, Alice (Lianne Marie Dobbs), who is engaged to her boss's son Tony Kirby (Brent Rosenbaum). Rounding out the zany cast of characters are the straight-laced parents of Tony (Carl Spiegelberg and Evie tenPas); Maid Rheba (Bernadette Quattrone); her boy friend Donald (Michael Barr), who loves the government because he can work nights at the post office; and the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina (Linda Hellman), who works as a waitress at one of the better Child's restaurants on Time Square. Also showing up in the second act is a drunken actress named Gay (Candy Campbell). She is "out" most of the time. You put all of these characters in the three act play and you have the screwiest people on the American stage.
Grandpa loves his family and his friends and, as he says of their shenanigans, "Why not do what you want to do? After all, you can't take it with you." These people get into a lot of tomfoolery involving the Kirbys, the government, G-Men, fireworks going off at all times and just plain wacky situations. All of the goings on in the three acts lead to a wonderful jovial night.
The complete cast, from minor parts to the main characters, are brilliant. Especially marvelous are Stu Klitsner as Grandpa and Barbara Grant as Penny. Mr. Klitsner captures the essence of the man who wants everyone to be their own person, while Ms. Grant is mirthful while describing her various unfinished plays. Lianne Marie Dobbs is cute and does an excellent portrayal of the 'normal' daughter, and Brent Rosenbaum as Tony makes a very handsome romantic idol. He is an excellent actor who trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute and Atlantic Theatre Company in New York. Linda Hellman makes a spectacular entrance as the Grand Duchess who loves to make blintzes in the last act. This is a showy role and she is excellent in the part. Gary Mutz gives an understated performance as Paul Sycamore, and Irv Siegel is marvelous as Mr. DePinna. It is fun to watch this character work as he goes into the basement with a lighted pipe to make fireworks. He also looks wild when he wears a Grecian gown in the second act.
Set design by Jean-Francois Revon plays a huge part in this comedy. It is an "explosion-prone set" and a star attraction of the show. Director Richard Elliott has done a super job of direction, keeping the timing of the actors right on the mark. Everything works like clockwork. Lighting design by Chris Guptill and costumes by Loran Watkins are very good. The farce gets the Willows' 27th season off to a good start.
You Can't Take It With You plays thru March 2nd. The theater is located at 1975 Diamond Ave, in the Willows Shopping Center in Concord. Tickets can be obtained by calling 925-798-1300 or visiting www.willowstheatre.org. The Willows' next production will be the musical Man of La Mancha which opens on March 17th.

The name's Broccoli - James Broccoli, and I'm licensed to heal. Yes, that's right, I'm one of the world's most powerful agents in the silent war against that arch villain - Cancer. I may be cunningly disguised as a tasty vegetable, but behind my appealing flavour lies an army of nutrients ready to protect you against our common foe.
Let me tell you more about how I can help you. I belong to the brassica family and am closely related to the cabbage. As you know I have a distinct appearance - when cut I look like a small, dense tree with greeny-white branches ending in clumps of small, rounded and tightly packed blue-green to green flower buds.
My fellow broccoli heads and I can range in colour from dark green to purplish green. We have a delicious flavour and if everyone on the planet ate broccoli, we'd wipe out hunger, disease and bad jokes about the brassica family!
Did you know?
Why Broccoli Are Good To Eat
How They are Grown and Harvested
Our stem ends in a compact head or mass of developing bluey-green to green flower buds, each head being 9-12cm wide. Below the main head many side shoots grow and have much smaller flower clusters (2.5-7cm). Both the main head and the group of flower buds on the side shoots are harvested.
We're harvested when the flower buds are closed and compact with no yellowing buds or flowers evident. Heads are removed with about 10-15cm of stem attached. When the main head is cut, new shoots with smaller heads form, so a single plant will keep producing for many weeks.
It's essential that we're cooled as soon as possible after harvest otherwise small yellow flower heads will develop rapidly, which are bitter in taste. Often you may see boxes of us arriving into the green grocers covered in ice to prevent us from maturing further.

How to Keep Broccoli
Prime Growing Areas
History of Broccoli
Siberian broccoli, a small, hardy, purple member of our family was planted at Norfolk Island in 1788. Throughout the 19th century, purple and green varieties were available in Australia but we were not as popular as ordinary cabbage. It wasn't until the influx of Italian immigrants in the first half of this century that we became more fully appreciated.
Fun Ways to Eat and Cook Broccoli
Steam, boil, pan-fry or microwave tops and stems until just tender but crisp to maintain the bright green colour, about 3-6 minutes. Serve as a vegetable, in stir-fries, salads, crepes, casseroles, soups, omelettes or with dips.

The streets of Bandung will now be more lively and passionate. The city's government, in cooperation with a big Indonesian company through its CSR programs, will provide free bus tour services for visitors to Bandung. Anyone visiting the city will be invited to welcome the presence of the bus service, christened as Bandros (Bandung Tour on Bus).
The name "Bandros" itself is unique for the city of Bandung. Bandros is actually a type of snack original of the region. It is a baked cake made of rice flour and grated coconut with a pinch of salt. It is an utterly delicious finger food, especially when accompanied by a cup of hot tea. The so-naming of the bus service only adds to the enjoyable characteristic known as typical to the city.
The titular "Bandros" is basically a vintage two-storeyed bus painted in flaming red, easily recognizable during the day and the night. It is modeled after the famous double-decker bus of the city of London with open deck on top. Designed for a maximum of 30 passengers, the bus is scheduled to depart from Taman Cibeunying The bus will pass the Dago area, where the Sheraton Bandung Hotel & Towers is located. The service would especially cater for foreign and domestic tourists.
The double-decker bus is the first of its kind in Bandung. Bandros can be enjoy with ticket IDR 25,000 per person. You may need to book it in advance via SMS or Whatsapp to 085793559911 and secure your seat since there's huge demand of Bandros, especially when it comes to school holiday or long weekend.
