I use the 'shot-gun' approach, i.e. shoot anything and everything!
Okay here is the question, RJD says recently that he feels he has been labelled as a landscape specialist, I on the other hand will shoot anything if it catches my eye, but I guess I am essentially a landscape and machinery guy.
What is your style, are you people, portraits, landscapes, social, machinery, children, family, oh and so on.
I don't think any one of us sets out to have a style, but there are areas we all feel comfortable with and think are our best work.
How many labels can we put on that which is the subject material we shoot with our cameras.
BTW RJD (hell hope I have the initials right and therefore the right person) You are indeed a Landscape person, but many of the shots you have taken I consider to be Fine Art due to the nuance and subtly of them.
I Just Have Cameras and Stuff

I dont think I've been labelled as a landscaper (tho probably what I'm known for if anything) and I enjoy all types of photography.
But I'm by far happiest shooting landscapes because thats what I mostly really enjoy.
I certainly dont feet I've been put into a box and cant escape!

im a sort of like everything interesting but I do most love capturing people/portraits, events, family and lifestyle sort of photos.
I primarily shoot Landscape but not because I feel comfortable with it, rather because Landscape is why I became interested in photography. As a child and young man I spent a lot of time in the backcountry of New Zealand and knowing a lot of people don't I decided to try and capture the beauty to show others what they were missing and therefore put all my time and effort into taking better landscape photos. My next area of focus is to become a better people photographer...mainly because people interest me.
Combining sport and photography is what I like.
Don't bother with landscapes really.
Nikon D750, D7100 and stuff
Portraits is my current bread and butter, I'd say more of a documentary than studio feel (if that makes sense).
I really like music and photography - i've done quite a bit of it, but lately haven't had time.
Motorsports is something i'd like to get into since i'm also a car nut.

I'd love to do more shooting of mountain biking and surfing etc but whenever the chance comes around I always prefer to be doing rather than shooting.
Its all about passion, results are totally based on commitment and if you'd rather be doing something else it just wont happen.

Landscape, street, photojournalistic stlye event photography. In spite of my love for cars, I find car photography, and photographs of cars to be very boring ( no offence intended to those who obviously enjoy this - you may well find my stuff equally as boring, and are welcome to do so )
No interest in formal type posed shots.
I take a big mix of everything. I guess I don't have the skills or experience yet to feel compelled to specialise. I enjoy landscape when I get the chance, but I think half of the enjoyment is getting out into the fresh air and seeing things from (often) new perspectives.
I'd really like to be able to get more practice shooting people, but alas, finding someone happy to stand in front of the camera for hours on end while I 'practice' is not happening for me

Mostly i'm random but i do love taking sly portrait shots of people and my good old 75-300mm has stood me in good stead for this. I have no interest in posed shots...or indeed studio photography.Still trying a few landscape shots but not my forté i think really.
I mostly enjoy event/sport photos, but enjoy a fair bit of landscape as well, I'm pretty young (well I think so anyway) and newish to photography (2 years) so I'm still experimenting with different types of photography.
I find I get more satisfaction from landscapes, as they still look good several months later, where's most event/sports pictures arn't very interesting to someone who wasn't there, or doesn't know the people in them.

I occasionally like to shoot cars... But i do like a lot of contrast/pattern in my non automotive subjects...which is probably why i'm always out looking for old wooden barns and steel bridges...
Also, as some may have noticed, i like to do a lot of PP...
I really don't like shooting people...i'd make a crap mass murderer...ha ha
For work I shoot obvious local scenic photos that I sell as postcards and prints in the shop, and I used to do everything from school balls to weddings, babies and all sort of commercial work. I stopped the non commercial stuff about 10 years ago, much more happy and have more free time for me, all that family stuff is after hours. I like having a definite need for the photos and pleasing the customer not the subject. I do people well, I can usually get what I want out of them.
I also enjoy photographing the wonder my garden and love playing with lenses and stuff. I like PP but it has to be subtle, if you can easily tell it's been done then it usually is too much.

Head up to Scotland and cross the border in the west and you'll be greeted by glorious green countryside, rolling hills and friendly towns. Welcome to Dumfries & Galloway.
The views
The first thing you'll notice about Dumfries & Galloway is just how beautiful this lowland part of Scotland is. From the rocky and sandy Solway Coast looking out for miles across the sea, to the lush green inland forests and hills, it's simply amazing. And it's not just us that think so - writers such as Robert Burns, artists and many more have been inspired by these lands.
As much as the people love their landscape, the animals love it too. From the red squirrels and the red deer in the forests to the ospreys and red kites in the sky, there's plenty for you to see and photograph - if you're quick!
Want the rush of flying through the trees on a mountain bike? Or why not splash about on the water windsurfing and yachting? There are lots of activities in Dumfries & Galloway to choose from, and you don't have to go mad - you can just go for a gentle walk or cycle. Or, take to one of the country's longest zip wires? Go on. We dare you.

Blue Jays score in bunches to rally past Tigers
Arencibia hits go-ahead three-run double after DeRosa delivers in pinch
DETROIT -- The Blue Jays' offense showed some signs of life on Wednesday afternoon, and for the first time this season the production wasn't solely based around the home run.
Toronto entered the game having scored 19 of its 25 runs this season via the long ball. The struggling offense seemed incapable of stringing some hits together, but that changed in a hurry versus Detroit.
J.P. Arencibia had a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh, while Mark DeRosa added a key pinch-hit double one inning earlier to lead the Blue Jays to an 8-6 victory over the Tigers at Comerica Park.
"It was huge, we haven't been able to put together innings as far as one guy gets a hit, then that's the hit for that inning," Arencibia said. "One guy gets a walk and then maybe a double play, that's been just the beginning of the year so far.
"It was nice to get a few hits and walks and guys grinding out at-bats and stringing it all in the same inning, because it's been one or the other, but to score you need to be able to do that collectively in an inning, and we were able to do that."
The Blue Jays entered the game hitting just .135 with runners in scoring position, which ranked second to last in the Major Leagues. The expectation all along has been that the struggles would be relatively short-lived -- considering the depth of Toronto's lineup -- but with each passing game, the pressure seemed to mount.
That's a by-product of a dramatic overhaul this offseason. With more than a third of the roster completely turned over from last season, and a number of star players added to the mix, this team is expected to win now.
The victory on Wednesday accounts for just one victory in the standings, but the hope is that, in the grand scheme, it will represent a lot more. By coming from behind to overcome a five-run deficit -- with three runs in the sixth and another fourth in the seventh -- it's the type of win that has the potential to help everyone relax in their new surroundings.
"We needed a game like this," DeRosa said. "We needed to pick up Mark [Buehrle] and push some runs across and really come alive in the dugout. We haven't had much to cheer about in the first couple games.
"It's been quiet, and rightfully so. We haven't played well. We try and keep it upbeat, try and keep it energetic, but when you've got a 2-5 record and you see another game slipping away, you kind of want to push the throttle a little bit. We needed something to happen like this."
Toronto entered the sixth trailing, 6-1, but slowly began to chip away at the deficit with a series of consecutive hits. The first two batters of the inning reached base, and then Edwin Encarnacion scored one by sending a shot down the left-field line for his second double of the game.
Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello was then chased from the game, but his bullpen was unable to preserve the four-run lead. DeRosa followed with a pinch-hit two-run double, and then the floodgates really began to open in the seventh.
With one on and one out, Tigers manager Jim Leyland opted to go with right-hander Brayan Villarreal in a move that quickly backfired. Villarreal proceeded to walk the only three batters he faced, with the final one scoring Melky Cabrera from third.
The big blow came with Arencibia at the plate and Octavio Dotel on the mound. Arencibia fell behind in the count but then sent an 89-mph cutter over the head of Austin Jackson in center field for a three-run double.
"I couldn't control my fastball or my slider," Villarreal said of the mess he created. "I think it's something with my mechanics that I have to work on.
"I have a lot of confidence in my fastball. You could see that they couldn't hit it. Even when they knew that pitch was coming, they couldn't hit it. That's my best pitch, and I have a lot of confidence. I just have to throw it for strikes."
Toronto's come-from-behind victory overshadowed some shoddy infield defense which led to a disappointing outing by Buehrle. Toronto's No. 3 starter allowed six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits, while walking two and striking out two.
Most of the damage occurred in the fifth inning, when Maicer Izturis misjudged a chopper to third to start the frame. Torii Hunter followed two batters later with an RBI single, while reliever Steve Delabar eventually walked in a pair of runs during the four-run frame.
The sloppy work at third base was an extension of an issue that has been plaguing the Blue Jays through the first eight games of the season. Emilio Bonifacio committed an error in the second, which led to an unearned run, while the slow-footed Prince Fielder beat out a pair of infield grounders.
"It's been a tough go, but they're our guys," manager John Gibbons said of his two infielders. "They're both a big part of this team, no one feels worse than they do, they feel it, they're human and the game's not easy to play when you start thinking about things. But they're a big part of it."
With the victory, the Blue Jays snapped a two-game losing streak and put themselves in a position to win a series for the first time this season when their time in Detroit comes to an end Thursday afternoon.

The wife of a Howell man who went missing more than four months ago wonders every day what happened to her husband.
Patrick Keough was last seen leaving his workplace June 14 in Novi.
His wife Lisa said he had been going on walks during his lunch breaks, but on the 14th, he did not return to work. He worked for an insurance company in the area of Cabet Drive and 12 Mile Road in Novi.
Novi Police said Patrick Keough walked away from work around lunchtime, but left all of his personal belongings behind.
"I miss just him being here, everything about him being here, I miss," said Lisa Keough. "He was my teammate."
Lisa Keough said she had a bad feeling the morning her husband Patrick disappeared.
View/print: Missing person flyer for Patrick Keough
"I talked to him a few times in the morning and he had gotten a ride with a coworker. And I tried calling him quite a few times. It was odd for him not to answer or call me back," said Keough.
Keough was called by police who alerted her to her husband's disappearance.
Novi Police tell Local 4 they are pursuing every avenue in this case including whether Patrick Keough decided to step away from his life or that he might have passed away. Investigators do not suspect foul play.
Using a helicopter and K9s, officers have searched the area around Patrick's work where he liked to go for walks with no success. They have also checked hospitals, morgues and border crossings and have found no sign of Keough.
It bothers Lisa Keough what her husband left behind.
"Especially the iPod, probably more than the wallet because he wasn't one to carry his wallet with him all the time but his iPod he did," said Keough.
Keough is taking it day by day and remains unsure of what happened to her husband.
"Every day, every night, every car ride I drive 45 minutes to work to an hour every day to work and that whole ride is thinking where he's at if he is OK," said Keough.
Keough said Patrick had been battling with depression for quite a while. She said both of his parents had died and he had gone through a lot and that they had gone through a lot over the past few years with her father passing on as well.
Patrick Keough had started seeing a new doctor and had recently changed medications that were having some powerful side effects including difficulty with his coordination and his speech. She said it was difficult on him because he enjoyed playing baseball with his children and he couldn't throw a baseball.
Lisa and Patrick Keough have four children together. Lisa Keough said Patrick's disappearance is difficult on her children, and they are confused about what happened.
"I have told them what I know and when they ask questions i try to answer them the best I can," said Keough. "When it all happened, I told them what I knew then. 'Daddy went for a walk we don't know where he is, we are hoping he will come home soon.'"
Keough is overwhelmed with the support of her community. Before Patrick went missing she was already working two jobs and appreciates all the help.
"I would have never even have thought about all the people that came out," said Keough through tears.
Keough hopes someone recognizes Patrick and will come forward. She wants closure for her children, herself and her community about the whereabouts of her husband Patrick.
"This is his home and we would like like for him to come home," said Keough.
Anyone with information on Patrick Keough's whereabouts should call the Novi Police Department.

Topic: And now... it's on for Chemo!
It is a beautiful day in Sarasota. Temperature 78 deg F, fluffy clouds in a blue sky, light breeze. Shhh! Don't tell anyone!
After 6+ months of elevated bilirubin, I learned today that I'm down to 2.2 - low enough to start chemo. And not a moment too soon. I've metastasized to both lobes and to the abdominal lining, maybe more. I'm ready to start! Scheduled for first dose Jan 30th, right after I finish my antibiotic regimen for the infection of last week. FWIW, I'm done with the Therasphere trial, it didn't work for me.
I've been following with interest Derin's story, regarding what chemo to use. My Onc is also being very cautious and will start me only on Gemzar at first to see how I tolerate. We can't let the bilirubin rise. Derin, I emailed you but maybe it got lost. Where are you going here for treatment? I'm driving up to Moffitt - one hour each way, but once initial dosage and followup is done I can get the infusions locally.
Following the recommendations of several on this list, I've decided to get a port. I figure, "Why wait?" I've been a blood donor for 30 years and now I'm getting stuck and IV'd weekly, sometimes daily. It's getting harder some days to get a good line. The phlebotomysts (sp?) are great at Moffitt but the clinical nurses don't always stick me with the same ease. I can see the scarring and am tired of putting up with "fishing". And has anyone else noticed how veins will roll when you lose confidence with the nurse's needle stick?
Had my bilirubin not gone down, I was given one other option (other than palliative). Moffitt is part of an NCI Phase 1 study of the effectiveness of belinostat for patients with hepatic dysfunction. I'll post that info on the Alternative Treatments board.
Best to al,

This car cover replaces a StormProof that had been in constant use for ten years, so the immediate choice was to get the same cover. The StormProof fits better than any of the other covers we tried since 1994, and when we're too lazy to use the center anchoring cord, clips on the back of the front and rear bumper--and the mirror pockets--keep the cover in place during most wind events. One detail is different: The pocket for the Mercedes star isn't as deep and puts a minor strain on the star.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Police in Gainesville have arrested a man they said killed his adoptive mother earlier this month, then stole her credit cards and car.
Darryl Scott, 40, is charged with murder and grand theft auto in the death of 63-year-old Roxie Scott-Kotb.
On Jan. 13, police began investigating the suspicious death of Scott-Kotb at Bivens Cove Apartments at 3301 S.W. 13th St. Police said her last known activity was on Jan. 4.
An autopsy revealed she died as a result of blunt-force trauma to the head. Police also found out her 2007 black Mercury Milan was missing, as well as her purse containing credit cards and identification.
After contacting other family members, police were led to believe that Scott was responsible for the theft of the vehicle and possibly the death of Scott-Kotb.
Her stolen vehicle was found and stopped by police just after midnight Jan. 14. The occupants at the time told police Scott allowed them to use the vehicle in exchange for crack cocaine.
Police said they went to Scott's place of employment, Gator City Motors, that same day and learned that he took a vehicle from the dealership without permission. Police said they learned Scott was using his adoptive mother's credit cards, and numerous transactions showed that he had fled the Gainesville area and traveled to New York.
On Sunday, the stolen vehicle Scott was driving was spotted in Orange County. It was stopped and Scott was arrested without incident.
Gainesville police traveled to Orange County to interview Scott. He will be extradited to the Alachua County jail, where he will be booked on the murder and grand theft auto charges.

HOUSTON - University of Houston officials evacuated a building after someone said they spotted a shooter on campus Wednesday night.
At 10:10 p.m., the University of Houston Police Department received a report of an armed suspect in the University of Houston Recreation and Wellness Center.
Hundreds of people were evacuated from the building and the campus was asked to shelter-in-place.
"There were basketball games going on and the next thing you know, everybody is running out," UH student Michael Young said.
"We were playing volleyball with our team, and all of a sudden, they told us to evacuate the building. We didn't know what was going on. Police came in with shotguns and told us to evacuate," student Chioma Phillips said.
The all clear was given at 10:46 p.m. The building was found to be "clear of any sign of danger."
"We were all kind of confused. We heard it was a prank," Phillips said.
Officials are looking for the person who called in the report, believed to be a hoax.

In Belgium today, the instructors of the future (biology students, student teachers etc.) appear undecided over the teaching of the theory of evolution. They prefer creationist theses saying that a Superior Being directs the universe and the appearance of living things. This alarms some school principals and governors. The Liberal parliamentarian Philippe Fontain called for a meeting with the French ministers of education Christian Dupont (PS, Education) and Marie-Dominique Simonet (CDH, Higher Education)…Ministers Dupont and Simonet express their unease on the subject and insist that primary school inspectors play a pivotal role. Laurence Perbal, however, says "inspectors cannot be everywhere all the time." In 2007, Minister Arena issued a decree calling on teachers to be on their guard against the famous 'Atlas of Creation.' Under the banner 'A Call to the Truth,' Atlas of Creation, written by Harun Yahya, openly rejects the theory of evolution.

NZ dollar gains vs. euro as Greek report highlights funding gap
Nov. 13 (BusinessDesk) – The New Zealand dollar gained against the euro and the greenback after a report proposed giving Greece two more years to meet budget targets while highlighting the scale of the fiscal gap.
The kiwi rose to 81.76 US cents from 81.58 cents at 5pm in Wellington yesterday. The currency rose to 64.31 euro cents from 64.11 cents.
Bloomberg News cited a draft document from the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, a grouping known as the troika, giving Greece a two-year extension to meet budget targets to ease the impact of austerity measures. Risk currencies including the kiwi and the Australian dollar have been helped by strong trade data from China.
The troika report "gives Greece an extra two years but the report highlights the huge funding shortfall facing Greece," said Mike Jones, currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand. "We're now staring down the barrel of more delays and uncertainty when Greece gets its new packet of cash. There was broad selling of the euro against all major currencies."
The kiwi has gained because it is "a game of trying to pick the least worst economies out there," he said.
Figures last weekend showed China's trade surplus was US$32 billion last month, which beat economist estimates. China is New Zealand's biggest export market after Australia.
The kiwi dollar rose to 78.41 Australian cents from 78.31 cents and the trade-weighted index rose to 73.23 from 73.05. The New Zealand dollar gained to 51.48 British pence from 51.29 pence and traded at 64.97 yen from 64.83.

2012 MLK Jr. Commemorative Address Host Talks Road to Awareness
Michael Vidal has always known difference. He recalls the first day of a high school honors English class where he was the only person of color. Arriving a few minutes early, he found the classroom empty and took a seat. When another student came in, he looked at Vidal and asked if it was the right class. Vidal said yes. And then the student asked again: "The honors English class?"
"I have always experienced difference. I know many other people have had that experience—it's not just about race," says Vidal, who served as host of this year's Martin Luther King, Jr., commemorative address. "It's not that it was a bad experience—I haven't had bad experiences but I've always felt the experience."
Being asked to participate in the 2012 Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration was a natural progression for the senior who is in his second stint as director of the Diversity Support Coalition. He also serves on the President's Commission on the Status of People of Color, and is a mentor for CONNECT, a program offering support to multicultural undergrads. And in 2011, Vidal attended the MLK Leadership Summit Student and spent three days learning how to be a leader in a multicultural world.
"When I was a kid, I moved around a lot and wherever I went, I was different," Vidal says. "It wasn't just me being different; it was others being different from me. It goes both ways. Sometimes things aren't named."
Coming to UNH and getting involved with multicultural and social justice organizations changed things for him in a tangible way.
"It has given me a language," Vidal says. "I found out 'Oh, that's what privilege is. That's what white privilege is.' I would guess a lot of people don't have a name for those things, either."
Vidal says when he arrived at UNH, he was pretty much like any other first-generation college student, trying to figure it all out: financial aid, residence life, what courses to take. And then he met Karoline Goulart in a Spanish seminar. She waited for him after class, introducing herself as president of MOSAICO, the Latino student organization on campus, and asking if he would like to attend a meeting.
That meeting led to his involvement in other organizations on campus. It led to awareness. And it led to the call to action he delivered during the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration this year where he told the audience we have all inherited the legacy of oppression. And that activism and civic responsibilities on college campuses have been forgotten. We have come to think, he said, that the work has been done.
"Do not be fooled by false beliefs that we have overcome all barriers with only a few loose ends to fix - they're merely illusions," Vidal said. "We benefit from the work of those who have come before us yet we must not dwell on a victory for long. Progress has been made, however, it is our duty to continue, and we have a long way to go."
"I wasn't searching for anything when I got here," Vidal says. "Then I met Karoline. I think it was fate. It's ironic that I could come to something like this in New Hampshire. But it shows—change can happen anywhere."
He told the audience during the Martin Luther King, Jr., event on Feb. 2, 2012, that it is all about holding each other accountable for our actions. Inclusiveness, he said, is a way of being; a core value; a part of who we are; our identity.
"We have to remember. When we talk about inclusiveness, about social justice, we are not just talking about topics," Vidal says. "We are talking about people's lives."

Natalie Portman's husband accepts ballet job in France
The couple welcomed little Aleph in June, 2011, and currently live in California, where Millepied runs the L.A. Dance Project.
But the Black Swan star and her partner are planning a big move to Paris, where the 35 year old has been hired to replace Brigitte Lefevre when she retires in early 2014.
Millepied, who left the New York City Ballet after becoming a dad, tells the New York Times, "I am not entirely a foreigner. I did grow up in France, and even though I didn't go to the school or dance with the Paris Opera Ballet, I absorbed similar ideas in my training.
"I understand the scale of a big company. I danced for one for almost 20 years. I think it's an asset that I have absorbed other traditions and had other experiences in the U.S., which I can bring to the dancers here (in Paris). But of course I have a lot to learn about this company and its very remarkable and specific qualities."
And Lefevre is confident Millepied will be able to fill her ballet slippers: "It is always a gamble. I imagine people had something to say when I arrived. But he has a real artistic sensibility and an admirable curiosity. He will have to find his own way between innovation and the house traditions."

Apple Inspiration for a Rosh Hashanah Celebration at Home
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and, like most Jewish holidays, food plays a big role in the celebration. Apples and honey are particularly important symbols of the holiday as apple slices are traditionally dipped into honey to express hope for a sweet new year.
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and, like most Jewish holidays, food plays a big role in the celebration. Apples and honey are particularly important symbols of the holiday as apple slices are traditionally dipped into honey to express hope for a sweet new year.
Apples are also symbolic of good health in Jewish culture and are eaten on Rosh Hashanah after a special blessing is offered to thank God for keeping the family healthy and bringing them into the new season. The act of eating apples is meant to remind Jews of the fruits of the Earth and how wonderful it is to be alive and thankful that they can enjoy all these blessings.
Because this seasonal fruit plays such an intrinsic part in the Rosh Hashanah celebrations, we rounded up some of the sweetest apple recipes, crafts and decorations. Use these ideas to inspire your Rosh Hashanah meal and celebration at home!
Like Brenda says, kids love cupcakes - but so do we! And while we'd eat these scrumptuous looking honey apple cupcakes any day of the year, they're so perfect for Rosh Hashanah. Between the apple-honey combo and the festive toppers, they're a holiday treat guests of all ages will appreciate.

Patti crafted these apple cards for a back to school project, but we love the idea of having the kids do the same for Rosh Hashanah. Instead of writing a note to teacher though, have the children write what they're most grateful for this past year as well as their greatest wish for the upcoming new year.
Get creative with apples and use them in your centerpieces. We love the hue of green apples paired with deep berry or purple colors for Rosh Hashanah. Both seasonal and elegant, they're simple enough to make and will make a wonderful display at your holiday table.

Did you know?
Four of South Africa's 11 official languages are Nguni languages, namely Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, and Ndebele.
Sudwala Caves and Cultural Village is close to the city of Nelspruit and the Kruger National Park. The village takes its name from the Sudwala Caves, an incredible array of chambers characterised by stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone formations.
While the caves invite you to discover the history of the earth itself, this Mpumalanga cultural village invites you to discover the history, arts and crafts of the Nguni people.
The village largely represents the traditional way of life of three of the Nguni subgroups: the Zulu and the Swazi and the Ndebele.
Many of the crafts used in traditional daily life, such as sleeping mats, kitchen utensils, weapons and decorative items are still produced in the village. Traditionally, the manufacture of these items is a basis for trade and empowerment in Nguni communities. Today, artists have adapted their craft to meet the demands of the marketplace, although traditions are maintained and practiced in cultural villages in Mpumalanga, as well as in other rural villages.
Traditional items to look out for when visiting Sudwala Caves and Cultural Village include beadwork, clay pots, woven items, woodcarvings and ceremonial artefacts. Most materials are gathered from nature and, adapting with the times, some incorporate found materials such as recycled copper wire.
What makes these arts and crafts unique is the way in which traditionally they are imbued with social meaning. Beadwork for example combines colour and composition to shape messages that are woven into decorative geometrical designs. These shapes are also significant and the craft itself is a way of communicating ideas, feelings and information relating to a person's status and social relationships.
At the village, you are also invited to explore the different types of housing preferred by each group, noting the different techniques, materials and decorative styles used. You can also meet a local healer, enjoy traditional dancing and singing and share a specially prepared meal.

Even people who don't usually ride DART should be able to use it as a fallback during inclement weather. During the current winter weather, DART has been a complete failure.
On Tuesday, the train lines did not begin running until 2:30 p.m. DART was completely unprepared as switching signals froze and ice formed on overhead cables.
Subways in Chicago and New York run with power supplied by a third rail. Ice is not a problem. But in cold-weather cities like Denver, light rail runs despite snow and sleet and cold. The trolleys in Boston run with an overhead power supply despite ice and wind.
In those cities, the transportation systems run the trains through the night to keep the power lines defrosted — and keep the trains running during normal operating hours.
DART failed to keep their riders informed. This morning at Hampton Station, a number of riders arrived by 7:30 a.m. They checked DART's web page and Facebook page on their mobile devices. DART said trains were running at 20-minute intervals and a Green Line train was stuck downtown because of a switching problem.
Station monitors had no information for riders. The only help offered was calling DART four times to tell them ticket machines weren't working and conductors shouldn't fine riders who claimed they boarded at Hampton Station.
Those same riders who arrived at 7:30 a.m. finally boarded a train at 8:45.

Hudson's bid for 200th win foiled in extra innings
Kimbrel allows first runs since Aug. 2012, Braves fall in 12th
DENVER -- The Braves were one out shy of celebrating Tim Hudson's 200th victory when the Rockies snatched the milestone from his grasp with a two-out, two-run double to the wall off the bat of Dexter Fowler in the bottom of the ninth, tying the game against closer Craig Kimbrel and sending it into extras, where the Braves would ultimately fall, 6-5.
It was Kimbrel's first blown save and first run allowed since Aug. 31, 2012, and it matched his career high of two runs allowed, a mark he last hit in 2011.
"Pitching at this place, it doesn't matter how big a lead you have and who's on the mound, you never really feel too comfortable," Hudson said of Coors Field, the only National League ballpark where victory has eluded him. "We had a two-run lead there late, with the best closer in the game out there -- you couldn't be in a better situation. If there's any place that can humble you, it's here."
Atlanta entered the bottom of the ninth with a 5-3 lead and Kimbrel poised for his second save in as many days. Kimbrel yielded a one-out double down the right-field line to Jonathan Herrera. The Rockies then brought Troy Tulowitzki off the bench, and he delivered a pinch-hit single to left, putting men on the corners with one out. Eric Young was overpowered by Kimbrel's 96-mph four-seamer, bringing Fowler up with two out and two on.
"I got to give it to them," Kimbrel said, acknowledging the Rockies' resilience. "With Herrera, I went up 0-2 and I tried to elevate, and I didn't get it up enough and he got an 0-2 hit. Any pitcher is going to be disappointed to give up an 0-2 hit at any point during the game. That was kind of the momentum builder for them. Tulo came up and hit a good curveball, and they put themselves in a great situation. With Fowler coming up, I tried to go in on him, and just didn't get it in enough and he was able to get the barrel to it. That's what happens when you hit the barrel out here in Colorado."
Fowler's blast sent a deep-positioned Justin Upton turning first to his right, then to his left as he tried to get a bead on the ball, leaping at the last second and missing the catch by an inch or two as the ball hit the left field wall with Upton crashing fast behind it.
"I misread it," Upton said. "It was hit a lot harder than I thought it was. I had to retreat, and I never got back to where I could catch it. Off the bat it looked like he inside-outed it, and it just carried, and carried, a long way. I just couldn't catch up to it."
From home plate, Fowler went through a series of emotions, from elation to disappointment to splendid surprise.
"At first I thought I hit it out," Fowler said. "Then I looked up and I was like, 'The wind's blowing in. He's going to catch it for sure.' And it hit off the wall."
The Rockies finally broke the deadlock in the 12th, as catcher Wilin Rosario legged out a double to left off Luis Ayala, the Braves' seventh pitcher used. After an intentional walk to Michael Cuddyer and a strikeout on a fouled bunt attempt from reliever Matt Belisle, Yorvit Torrealba finished it with a run-scoring single to left to prevent a Braves' sweep.
The pendulum swung back and forth all day, with Atlanta yielding its homer mojo to Colorado as Cuddyer and Josh Rutledge hit the Rockies' first back-to-back homers of the season to pace the Rockies to a 2-0 lead in the second inning.
"Those are a couple pitches I wish I'd have back," Hudson said. "A couple hangers. Hanging curveball, hanging changeup. They didn't miss them. At this place, games can get away from you pretty quickly. I was able to settle down and start making pitches and have a couple decently quick innings. It was probably one of my better games I've thrown here. We had a chance to come out with a win, but give those guys credit. They battled. They beat the best bullpen in the game, so tip your hat to them."
The Braves took the lead in the fourth, with Freddy Freeman and Hudson driving home runs. The Rockies knotted it up again in the bottom of the inning when starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood singled on a high bouncer back to the pitcher to score a run. Atlanta reclaimed the lead in the sixth when Evan Gattis laced a leadoff double to center and scored on a throwing error from Herrera on a grounder to short by Dan Uggla.
A key opportunity for the Braves to add an insurance run came in the top of the ninth after Jordan Schafer was walked to open the inning then balked to second by Rex Brothers. Schafer stole third, and with one out and Ramiro Pena at the plate, manager Fredi Gonzalez opted for a suicide squeeze.
"We tried to get another run, because every run you add on is important," Gonzalez said. "I thought we had the right combination of guys doing it, Schafer running and Pena at the plate. We just couldn't execute it."
Brothers threw an untouchable slider that Pena missed, and Rosario chased Schafer down for the tag, his first time defending a suicide squeeze in the Majors.
"We had a chance to sweep the series with our guy, with our closer on the mound, and we couldn't do it," Gonzalez said. "They get a lot of these kind of games here. They get the last at-bats and they bloop one, the next guy hits one out of the ballpark -- I've seen a lot of those games. So to win two out of three is a good thing."

Topic: External Stent
We are being told that my mom's stent is probably plugged again (2nd time in 5 months) and that she may have to go to an external stent. The MD's seem to be fighting so hard to avoid this that I am curious why.
Can anyone tell me about their experiences with the external stent? Are they hard to maintin? Uncomfortable? Need replacing as often?
Any information would be helpful in making this choice.

Box Score
PHILADELPHIA – With the calendar flipped to the postseason, Penn turned to its trademark stifling defense to earn a third trip to the Ivy League Tournament championship game via a 10-5 win over Cornell at Franklin Field.
The top-seeded Quakers benefitted from 12 Lucy Ferguson saves and eight caused turnovers, thrice holding the Big Red to goalless droughts of over 14 minutes in the game. Ferguson split her saves evenly between the two halves, highlighted by three in succession over a span of 1:51 after the Big Red had taken an early 1-0 lead.
After Cornell opened the scoring, Penn went for the next three goals, opening a 3-1 lead midway through the first half. Meredith Cain – who is arguably the most dominant player in Ivy League Tournament history with 11 goals and 14 points over six career games – scored on a free position 7:13 into the game to tie proceedings at 1-1. Five minutes later, Tory Bensen would give the Quakers a lead they would not relinquish on a low shot following a dodge from behind the net.
Just passed the midway point of the first half, Courtney Tomchik scored her only goal of the game on a pretty double dodge from the top of the zone. After faking out her second defender, Tomchik shot on the fly to give Penn a 3-1 lead.
Cornell would answer with a goal at 19:31 of the first half, but Penn would counter with a rapid-fire attack to take control of the game for good. Meredith Cain factored in two of those goals, scoring twice in a span of 31 seconds. The first came after Caroline Bunting ran a pair of Cornell defenders ragged before finding an open Cain with 9:24 left in the first half. Quickly thereafter, Cain came in on the fly and fired for her third of the game. A minute and a half later, Shannon Mangini connected on a free position to send Penn to halftime with a 6-2 lead.
Cornell would open the scoring again in the second half, but the Big Red would then go 17:05 without a goal while Penn struck three times to take a commanding 9-3 lead. Bunting was first to score, bombing in a shot on the run. Mangini scored her second of the game 1:29 later, sneaking out from behind the cage and going up top. Maddie Poplawski would go on to give Penn its largest lead of the game after depositing a Cain pass with 13:14 to play. Cornell attempted to climb back in to the game with a Rachel Moody goal with 8:33 to play, but Mangini stopped that movement in its tracks with her third quick-strike goal of the game 1:15 later off a pass from Catherine Dickinson.
The Quakers were exceptionally clean with the ball, committing just eight turnovers – tied for second-fewest in a game this season.
Lucy Ferguson was part of a team effort denying the Big Red on free positions all night long. Cornell had eight free position attempts and failed to score on any of them. Ferguson made six of her 12 saves on Cornell eight-meter offerings.
With the win, Penn improves to 4-2 all-time in Ivy League Tournament games and reaches the championship game for the third time in the four installments of the event. Those numbers are tied with Penn's opponent on Sunday, Dartmouth, for the best records in ILT play. Penn and Dartmouth have met twice in the Ivy Tournament final, each side with one win. Last year, Dartmouth edged Penn, 6-4. The Quakers are 7-2 against the Big Green dating back to the 2007 season, and have not lost to the Big Green at Franklin Field since 2005. Earlier this season, Penn scored an 8-7 win over Dartmouth at Dunning-Cohen Champions Field at Penn Park.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dozens of flights at Jacksonville International Airport were among an estimated 7,200 canceled across the United States on Monday due to Hurricane Sandy.
The massive storm threatens to bring a near halt to air travel in and out of about one-third of the nation's busiest airports for at least two days.
Major carriers such as American Airlines, United and Delta cancelled all flights into and out of three area airports in New York, the nation's busiest airspace. According to the flight-tracking service FlightAware, nearly 7,500 flights had been canceled for Monday and Tuesday, almost all related to the storm.
At JIA on Monday, eight flights to New York, eight flights to Newark, six flights to Philadelphia, three flights to Baltimore, one to Boston and 14 to Washington D.C. were all canceled. More than 20 flights were canceled Sunday.
Passengers stranded in Jacksonville were being told that flights to northeast U.S. cities would likely not take off until Wednesday.
Friends Mitchell Bedard and Ryan McGurn were trapped at JIA on Monday, far from home.
"Well, we were supposed to go back to Providence, Rhode Island, today, but we're stranded here until Wednesday," Bedard said.
They flew in to Florida for a festival in Gainesville, never anticipating Sandy could stop them from heading north.
"Just pretty much figured out we were going to be stranded here with zero dollars for the next few days, sleeping on these chairs," McGurn said.
It's not just people stranded at the airport. Several airplanes are stuck on the runway, waiting for the storm to pass.
"It's a day to day call and it is handled by each one of the airlines," said Michael Stewart, of JIA External Affairs. "So it depends on how they want to move their equipment around, what airports in the northeast reopen and what equipment is there, and there's a lot of factors."
JIA is encouraging travelers to contact their airline directly to find out about cancellations and reminding passengers to be patient.
"It's not something that the airlines or the airport can do anything about," Stewart said. "Safety is the primary concern by the aircraft when they are moving people."
Until the forecast clears there's no definite date when the flight schedule will get back to normal.
Delays have rippled across the U.S., affecting travelers in cities such as San Francisco to Chicago. Disruptions spread to Europe and Asia, where airlines canceled or delayed flights to New York and Washington from cities that are major travel hubs including London, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Businessman Alan Shrem was trying to return home to Boca Raton, Florida. His Monday morning Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to New York's Kennedy airport was canceled.
He learned he could be stuck in Hong Kong for nearly a week because the next available seat was Nov. 4. He was put on a waiting list for seats that could become available earlier.
"They just say: Yeah, it's a pretty big waiting list," said Shrem, throwing up his hands. In the meantime, he'll have to fork out $400 a night to continue staying at a nearby hotel. The airline won't pay for accommodation for stranded passengers if delays are weather related.
Forecasters say Hurricane Sandy is about 310 miles (505 kilometers) southeast of New York City, and the center of the storm is expected to be near the mid-Atlantic coast on Monday night. The National Hurricane Center said early Monday that the storm has top sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph), with higher gusts. Sandy is on track to collide with a wintry storm moving in from the west and cold air streaming down from the Arctic.
Airports in the metropolitan New York City area are open, but air carriers are not operating.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said Monday that travelers shouldn't even try to go to Kennedy, Newark Liberty, LaGuardia and Stewart airports.
Air travel in the Northeast started getting complicated on Sunday, when passengers were reporting multi-hour wait times at airline call centers.
Eileen Merberg, 50, was booked on a United flight from her home in Rochester, N.Y. to New Orleans, connecting at Washington D.C.'s Dulles airport.
She received an email saying the Washington flight was canceled. United rebooked her first on a flight through Newark and, when that flight was also canceled, on another flight through Chicago.
By that point, she already had told the higher education conference that she was scheduled to speak at that she wouldn't be coming. She tried to cancel her flight over the phone. After two lengthy waits -- her cellphone battery ran out during the first one -- she just hung up.
International travelers would have to wait to get to the East Coast of the U.S. All flights from Paris to Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington -- a total of 14 -- were canceled. Air France has canceled four into JFK and two departures.
Frankfurt airport canceled 12 flights, with German carrier Lufthansa scrapping three to the Northeast and one out of Newark. British Airways had to cancel all its flights to and from New York, Newark, Baltimore, Washington DC, Boston and Philadelphia -- a total of 20.
Eight flights out of Tokyo's Narita International Airport to New York, Newark and Washington were canceled Monday.
Hong Kong's Cathay canceled its two daily flights to New York for Monday and Tuesday and Air India said its daily flights to Newark and JFK had halted since Sunday.
South Korean flag carrier Korean Air delayed a flight scheduled to leave Incheon International Airport for JFK on Monday by 22 hours. Asiana Airlines delayed its JFK flight from Seoul by 26 hours.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/3/2013 (1616 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CANADA'S First Nations have suffered for the last 200 years and nothing in Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's federal budget Thursday changed that, Grand Chief David Harper said.
The leader of 30 northern First Nations represented in the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak organization said the incentives Ottawa threw to Canada's aboriginals fell far short.
"What I've said all along is that First Nations have been in their own recession for 200 years, and we look at the budget every year and there are still problems," Harper said.
"If there was going to be real progress, they would have lifted the two per cent cap on education funding... education is the ultimate goal to reset the First Nations economy."
Education and resource-sharing are demands aboriginal leaders have made for years as keys to a real First Nations economy. Neither was mentioned in the budget.
Ottawa has held the line on funding for aboriginal schools and post-secondary education to an annual two per cent increase for decades. The cap is blamed for schools that are underfunded from 30 to 50 per cent compared to those in provincially run education systems.
Instead of money for education, the budget committed to more consultation and passing legislation by September 2014 to set up a system with regional school boards.
The federal government brought down its budget a day after Chief Arlen Dumas of Manitoba's Mathias Colomb band stormed out of a Winnipeg court during a hearing on a request for an injunction against mine blockades in northern Manitoba, and Harper tried to strike a conciliatory note in his remarks.
Ottawa could have used the budget to present an olive branch on resource-sharing with native people, he said. Instead, it put $241 million over five years into training programs for young people on income assistance.
He said federal and provincial governments could play a valuable role by opening a dialogue with mining and resource companies with interests in traditional lands.
Half the $241 million will go to setting up the program on reserves and the other half will only be accessible if welfare recipients agree to participate in the program.
"That's not much. They're stigmatizing Canadian First Nations youth and they're the fastest-growing demographic. That just perpetuates welfare," Harper said.
Shawn Atleo, the Assembly of First Nations national chief, said the budget is a lot of talk but no action in the form of financial resources.
"Budget 2013 makes reference to First Nations in almost every section, which suggests that the unprecedented attention and engagement of our peoples is beginning to be heard," he said in a release.
"But the investment just isn't there. We will continue to press for direct engagement of First Nations themselves on full implementation of commitments in an urgent manner."
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs was equally skeptical.
"This status-quo budget ensures the rich keep getting rich with tax credits and incentives that generally do not help First Nations individuals or communities," said Grand Chief Derek Nepinak.
"A status-quo budget for First Nations people means a continuation of escalating poverty and a continuing failure to meet the basic needs of families in the communities. Announcements on reallocated funding for skills and trade development tied to compulsory program changes is nothing short of coercion and racialized policy implementation."
The money earmarked in Flaherty's budget is divided in two. The First Nations job fund will get $109 million to provide personalized job training for welfare recipients. Benefits cheques will be dependent on participation in the program. The rest of the money will go into setting up the services necessary to deliver such a program, including compliance measures and counselling.
"Funding will be accessible only to those reserve communities that choose to implement mandatory participation in training for young income-assistance recipients," the budget warns.

Not possible, Blizzard has specifically made sure to block anything that will auto-play for you and deciding which of 2 spells to cast based on what's on cooldown would be doing exactly that. The answer is pay more attention.

Having some issues creating a macro for what I'm looking for, figured this would be the best place to ask for help.
I want a macro for my main healing spells (Ex. Penance, Heal, ect..) that will work with mouseovers, but heal a friendly target if I have one (I guess prioritize target over mouseover) with no mod. If I have no mod and no one targeted, I would like it to cast the heal on me. With alt/ Shift/ crtl, I want them to do the heal to party1/party2/pet.
Also, I am wondering if it is possible to do all of them above I posted, plus put a harm conditional to the no mod. IE. if I have an enemy targeted it will do SW:Pain.
Not sure if all this is possible, not too worried about the harm/ help part, but would be nice.
thank you.
ty for your help. decided it was best to not add the harm effect into the same macro/ bind. One more request to make a change to the macro. Did a few instance runs and noticed a problem in the macro for my heals.
When I have the tank targeted and mouseover the dps on my frames, the heal will still go to the tank and not my mouseover. is it possible to change the macro to prioritize the mouseover over the target (at least for friendly units).
Thank you again
thanks again!
i'm very new in macros, a few times a tried to create one, but a failed every time. I really want to learn how to do it, to play more advanced and succesfully. My main is a druid, that is why I need a macro that allows me to pop Moonfire and Sunfire with one click. This macro will be the start for me
If you have any tips or guides i will read that. Thanks
I would like a new macro for my Rogue
When I am specced Shadowstep it will Shadowstep arena target 1.
When I am specced Cloak and Dagger it will Cheapshot arena target 1.
Is it possible to get this in the same macro on same keybind without a modifier?
---------- Post added 2013-02-24 at 01:10 PM ----------
This will cast Cheap Shot if you're holding down ANY modifier key - alt, shift, or ctrl. If you're not holding a modifier, it casts Shadowstep.Code:#showtooltip /use [@arena1, mod] Cheap Shot; [@arena1] Shadowstep
So it should use shadowstep whenever I have it as a talent, but when I don't have it and can't use it then it should use cheapshot.
Isn't there some macro that first looks if shadowstep works, if it doesn't it uses cheapshot?
Figured it out, this works
So I guess you're wrong. Thanks anywayCode:/cast [@arena1] Shadowstep /cast [@arena1] Cheap Shot

I'm sure this must've been asked on the forum before. I'm positive other mages have asked this. I just couldn't find it at all, so I'm sorry if this question has been answered a bunch of times already.
Is there any way to make a channeled skill impossible to interrupt by yourself?
In this case, I'm wondering if it's possible to cast evocation without having it be interrupted by myself. This so I can start spamming my fireball bind in advance, and have no risk of doing it a bit early and therefore losing the Invocation buff.
FPS MAP DESIGN | Core i5 3570k [email protected] | Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 | ASRock Z77 Extreme4 | 2x4GB Corsair [email protected] | Gigabyte Radeon 7950 Windforce x3 | Samsung 840 250GB SSD | WD Black 500GB | 2x WD Green 1TB | Antec HCG520 | Tt Chaser Mk I
This will make it impossible to use fireball while channeling evocation, but it can still break other channeled spells, if you want this to work on every channeled spell you can use:Code:#showtooltip fireball /cast [nochanneling:evocation]fireball
Code:#showtooltip fireball /cast [nochanneling]fireball
(The #showtooltip fireball makes sure your spellicon doesn't turn into one of those ugly red question marks while channeling, just remove it if you do want the red question mark to show.)

I currently use this macro for my Lvl 90 warrior talents, and use variations of it for the lvl 60 and 75 talents.
It updates the icon and tooltip after it is used once. The "lvl90" is where you put the name of your macro, and just replace the abilities with your own class talents.Code:#showtooltip /use Avatar /use Bloodbath /use Storm Bolt /run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell("lvl90", G"Avatar" or G"Bloodbath" or G"Storm Bolt")
Is that last line doing something that I'm not realizing?
UI & AddOns expert | Interface & Macros moderator - My work
i searched on net but couldn't find any macro for spamming slam/heroic strike when overpower when not avalible. Can some1 help me about it?
Any time someone wants a macro to cast X unless Y then cast Z where Y is something not under your control (on cooldown or out of range), the solution is always: pay more attention and play better. Sounds douchey (is that even a word?), I know, but it's the truth.
Been trying to make some simple targeting macros and I managed to get them working but they seem to be inverted (or I'm just really daft)
I'm trying to target myself if I'm holding control and otherwise party member 1.
this works, but isnt it supposed to be the other way around? mod:ctrl should fire when I'm holding control, which it isnt./target [nomod] [@player]
/target [mod:ctrl] [@party1]

A 67-YEAR-OLD man was beaten with a baseball bat and kicked by a gang of youths in an unprovoked attack as he walked along a Wirral street on a night out.
Police were called to Manor Drive in Upton just after 10pm on Wednesday, April 2, following reports of an attack.
It is believed the victim had been for a night out with friends and was walking along the road near to the main entrance to Manor Park, at around 8.25pm, when four youths appeared.
They kicked him, then hit him over the head with a baseball bat before running off.
The victim was taken to hospital but discharged the following day. Nothing was stolen during the incident.
Police carried out a thorough search of the area and house-to-house enquiries were conducted. CCTV from the area is now being reviewed.
An investigation into the full circumstances surrounding the incident is continuing.
Detective Inspector John Griffith from Wirral CID said: "This appears to be a completely unprovoked attack on a man who was walking home, minding his own business.
"The victim was kicked in the stomach, then hit twice over the head with the bat, and he's very lucky not to have been seriously injured.
"I'm sure people in Upton will share my anger about this incident and I would like to take this opportunity to reassure them that we are doing everything we can to arrest the offenders, all of whom are described as aged between 16 and 17 years.
"I'd appeal to anyone who knows who is responsible for this attack, or has any information about it, however trivial it may seem, to come forward and get in contact with us."
Contact Wirral CID on 0151 777 2265, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org

Trilogy pack will include Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary, both newly remastered in HD quality, as well as Tomb Raider Underworld, previously released on PlayStation 3.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
The Tomb Raider Trilogy for Playstation 3 is a remastered compilation of one of the most popular and recognizable video gaming franchises of all time.
With over 8 million copies in print, the spunky athletic and seemingly tireless heroine, Lara Croft and her escapades is once again available for Playstation 3, but this time in high definition on Blu-Ray disc. The Tomb Raider Trilogy includes the original Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Tomb Raider: Underworld.
Tomb Raider Legend delves into Lara's mysterious past. After a plane crash Lara and her mother are left to fend for themselves in the Himalayas. While stranded, her mother vanishes in front of her eyes, leaving Lara on quest for survival. She searches through her past, in tombs, some of history's most revered objects and dangerous members of her past appear. Sexy and fearless,Lara must solve challenging puzzles, explore dangerous strange locales all in the bid to survive.
Tomb Raider Anniversary set in New Mexico during the last year of World War II, a nuclear blast from the US Government's secret Manhattan Project explodes and lets loose a strange animal which flies away (it turns out to be Lara's nemesis Atlantean Ruler Jacqueline Natla). 50 years later our plucky sexy heroine, Lara Croft reads her father's diary and decides she must search for the mythical lost city of Atlantis which means she must confront the Atlantean Ruler, Jacqueline Natla.
Tomb Raider Underworld. This picks up where Legend ended. Haunted by her mother's disappearance, Lara Croft's search takes her on an even darker journey this time through into the mythical Norse underworld of Helheim.
What's new with Tomb Raider Trilogy for Playstation?
The remastered trilogy features:-
New network trophies.
30 minutes of bonus videos.
Lara Croft avatar outfit.
Viking Thrall Avatar.
PS Theme Pack.
"Beneath the Surface" Underworld Dev Diaries.
Excellent HD graphics, consistent and engaging story line to follow through all three games.
There is a game ending glitch at the end which was also in the 2008 version and never fixed. And sometimes, the camera work can appear jerky. The story since it is so familiar can seem tiresome and dated.
Tomb Raider Trilogy for Playstation 3 is retailed at $29.99. You can buy the trilogy for under $20.00 and a used copy can be had for even less money. It lends itself nicely to the Playstation 3 handheld controls. What's great about having a linear trilogy, is that you can track Lara's story as it progresses. So you get into the story when it starts. In terms of learning how to play, there are plenty of forums on line where you can get hints, cheats and walkthrough. The game is not hard to learn and is engaging from beginning to end. It is available in single player or coop format. It's rated 16 for Teen. It has some mild violence, but no crude language.
