What's with Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan having so many Chinese and having a population consisting of only three races? O_o
The only thing I really know about this place is that it fits in as the punchline of a joke about a former Prime Minister of Canada:
"They liked Brian Mulroney so much they named a town after him!" "Really? Which one?"
I think you can figure out the rest for yourself.
I was raised in Moose Jaw, and I can say that there isn't anything very memorable about the place. What I can say is, it was a great place to grow up, it was quiet, safe, and small enough that you could ride your bike to your friend's house easily. As for the article, I'm glad the writer(s) has taken a neutral stance.
15 Wing Moose Jaw Saskatchewan's only military base?[edit]
Uh, no. The Cold Lake Weapons Range straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and is Canada's premier air force command where it parks most of the CF-18 Hornets. The base is technically on the Alberta side but most of the range is in Saskatchewan. Certainly cooler than what Moose Jaw has.
Yes, but where do you think all the guys in the Hornets up there learn to fly? Plus, we have the snowbirds. There's little need for a full-on military base in the middle of the country, unless our relationship with the US suddenly crumbles. 15 Wing is largely a training base. Perhaps not remarkably glamorous like the guys throwing around bombs, but it is necessary and the geography is excellent for it. 18.104.22.168 03:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Queen Elizabeth[edit]
The three references to "Queen Elizabeth" were rather confusing:
Prince George, future king and father of Queen Elizabeth, paid a visit in 1926. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited during the Royal tour in 1939. Queen Elizabeth first visited in 1959, and has came to the city a few times since.
The first and third "Queen Elizabeths" here presumably refer to Queen Elizabeth II, the current British monarch. However, the Queen Elizabeth who visited during the Royal tour in 1939 was King George VI's wife (later known as "HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother"), and not his daughter Princess Elizabeth (later "Queen Elizabeth II"). All the links, including Prince George (George VI) and Prince Edward (Edward VIII), just point to disambiguation pages. I hope I've fixed all this correctly! Mtford 16:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Date of incorporation[edit]
If you refer to a perpetual calendar, such as this one: Calendar for 1903 in Canada you'll find that 10 Nov was a Tuesday, not a Friday as stated in the article. Since I'm not certain of the actual date of incorporation, I'll defer to someone else to correct this obvious error. The city's website says only that it was incorporated in Nov 1903, not giving a more specific date.

The comments regarding the KKK being gone from Moose Jaw are inaccurate. It is clear from the references added that the KKK and Aryan Nation are still active in this city. It is important that the information presented on Wikipedia is factual and unbiased. This is not a tourism site - it is a factual site.
Move: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan -> Moose Jaw[edit]
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move.
Rational: The latter redirects to the former, and there are no other Moose Jaw's in the world. It is the forth largest city in Saskatchewan, and after the move it will be within the newer policy of moving unique names to their undisambiguated form. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 04:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support of corse. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 04:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support as the others I've commented on. --Kmsiever 06:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support. Actually, I don't believe the policy on unique names is that new. Generally, there is a good chance that city names aren't unique so the standard is to include the province but for the most important and internationally well-known cities (Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal). For a name that is almost certainly unique, there is no need to include the province disambiguation. DoubleBlue (Talk) 07:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support, as I'm pretty sure there's no other Moose Jaw in the world. For what it's worth, though, the policy itself isn't new — the actual application of it to anything other than the six or seven largest cities in the country is the only thing that's relatively new about it. (Policy never prevented that; people just never really took on the job of actively identifying which cities could be moved or not.) Bearcat 23:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support. This is just common sense, and it is important to avoid disambiguation for disambiguation's sake. This move is fully supported by the Canadian place names guideline. Skeezix1000 13:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
References: should be in ==References==.184.108.40.206 (talk) 05:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The section headed "History" contains no history at all, just three "explanations" of the city's name. When was it founded, and by whom? When was it incorporated as a village'/ town / city? Has anything ever happened there, apart from royal visits and KKK rallies? Does anyone in Moose Jaw actually care that their city's history is not covered in Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 01:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
moose jaw population[edit]
The growing population in moose jaw is 0.3% —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Notable People[edit]
This section is a joke. Notable is not "a guy who sells mangos" or "soon-to-be animator". Unless anyone chimes in shortly with a legitimate reason why it should remain in this state, I'll start aggressively culling.Greg Salter (talk) 07:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, took a few hours, but added references to as many as possible, and removed those entries that had little-to-no references or found notability. The section still needs to be changed from a long list to paragraph form. I do believe, however, that many of the existing entries should still be removed as not being notable enough. However, I'm not from Moose Jaw and I may lack some local knowledge. Follow Wikipedia's advice and be aggressive in this.Greg Salter (talk) 07:48, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Lead and typical Wikipedia 'city' sections[edit]
In the spirit of what visitors to articles expect to see, I moved some stuff to a new section called History. While the material that ended up there could use some work, I was focusing more on the sections that are typical of articles (see New Glasgow, Nova Scotia or any Canadian city). Geography is another section that's typical. SunKing2 (talk) 19:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Tunnels of Minot, North Dakato[edit]
The history of Tunnels of Minot and the Tunnels of Moose Jaw seem to be very similar.
The Minot, North Dakota history section describes their tunnels: "the city being a supply hub of Al Capone's liquor smuggling operations. The hotbed of alcohol bootlegging, prostitution, and opium dens that sprang up in the Downtown area soon led people to give Minot the nickname "Little Chicago." The Smugglers used a network of underground tunnels (some of which were previously built for heating or deliveries) to transport and conceal the illicit cargo entering from Canada"
Maybe some more research in this area is needed to separate fact from fiction.-- Kayoty (talk) 19:11, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

New users to Wikia that have not yet logged in will have their IP address displayed in the page history instead of a username.
If you create an account immediately after asking a question, that question can be assigned to your new username instead.
Publishing the IP address in the page history of a wiki is a standard feature of the MediaWiki software that Wikia (and Wikipedia) uses. This is the simplest way of identifying a user who has not logged in.
Wikianswers usually displays the nickname of the asker. In cases we don't know their name, we show their IP address in the page history and the phrase "A Wikia user" on the question page itself.
The advantage of knowing a user's IP address is that you can see what other edits they have made, and you can block edits from a certain IP address if an unregistered user is causing problems such as vandalism or spam.

In China each year, around 600,000 people die from working too hard. That's 1600 employees every day, some dropping dead at their desks.
Australians may not be falling off the perch at the same rate, but many undoubtedly push too hard to keep the boss happy. A recent report revealed that the full-time hours of Aussie men in particular are much longer than the OECD norn, with Sydneysiders for example, working an average of 1829 hours per year and being rewarded with just 24 paid vacation days.
All work and no play may be good for paying off your enormous inner-city mortgage, but it does your health no favours. A study from the University of Texas Health Science Centre suggests that long office hours could put a strain on your heart and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. A further study of 16,000 Norwegians this year showed a direct link between workaholism and mental illness, including clinical anxiety and depression.
The 'fine art of doing nothing'
UK author Tom Hodgkinson has devoted his life to telling people that hard work never did anybody any good. His 2004 book, How to be Idle: A Loafer's Manifesto, became a worldwide best seller in 25 languages, and espoused Hodgkinson's philosophy on the 'fine art of doing nothing'. He followed up this success, publishing further books on adopting a more relaxed approach to life: How to be Free (2006) The Idle Parent (2009) and Brave Old World (2011). In 2006 he created the irreverent National Unawareness Day.
When Executive Style caught up with the 47-year-old in London, he was (sort of) busy arranging an online ukulele course through his popular Idler Academy. "Being an idler is not about laying on the sofa all day, it's about freedom," Hodgkinson says. It might include the freedom to take a long walk, take a day off and have naps, but it's also about discovering work and a whole life that you find fulfilling."
I'm not necessarily telling people to quit their jobs and become a poet, but on the other hand working 100 hours a week in a job you hate is just bonkers.Tom Hodgkinson
Hodgkinson arrived at his idler attitude in his early 20s after finishing a degree in English at university where he read the essays of Samuel Johnson, published in 1758-60. "They were quite funny little essays about being an idler. Johnson believed that every man is, or hopes to be, an idler. He himself was an idler in the sense that although he was incredibly talented and ambitious, he was also incredibly lazy."
A more natural way to work
Johnson discovered that the benefit to his own idleness was that it gave him the time to think. "During the period of not working, you are actually working very hard in your head," Hodgkinson says. "I thought that was exactly the kind of way I would like to work, not stuck in an office, but in a freelance way. There's a lot of sitting around doing nothing and then, bang, you produce something in these intense bouts; it's a more natural way to work.
"My mission became how to find a way to create a life of freedom in a world where everybody sucks you into the corporation or bureaucracy; I needed to live by my wits. That's what the idler is all about."
After residing in London for a decade, Hodgkinson and his wife moved with their young children to a tumbledown house in North Devon, where they remained for 12 years. Hodgkinson recalls it was the most wonderfully idle time of his life.
"I was waking up in this beautiful place, writing books for a few hours, growing vegetables after lunch, chopping logs, having a nap, going for a long walk, and playing with the children. Sometimes I'd visit the country pub for a ukulele sing-along with friends, but that was less attractive after the smoking ban came in, so I built my own pub in my house. It was called The Green Man and it had a dartboard, and wall mirrors with Scotty dogs printed on them."
Idle curiosity
Eventually the cosmopolitan lights called him back, and the couple established the Idler Academy; a book and coffee shop in West London. The bookshop closed this year, but the Academy remains as an online entity, teaching such diverse subjects as elocution, drawing, modern manners, and the history of British buildings.
"You can stay in bed and learn this stuff," says Hodgkinson, only half joking. "For a lot of people life is boredom and stress all day and then some kind of escape from that via television or partying in the evening. Moving on from that doesn't necessarily mean you quit your job and become a freelancer, some people enjoy their jobs, but you might want to look at your leisure time in a different way."
Although we take the nine-to-five grind for granted, Hodgkinson says it's a relatively modern phenomenon, starting with the Industrial Revolution in Britain. "The mill owners had bought these expensive machines and wanted to get as much out of them as possible, and therefore a new attitude evolved around time," he says.
How did it come to this?
"When people were employed on the land the work was seasonal, so they might well have worked very long days at certain times of the year, but then in winter they would be doing very little, keeping warm by the fire. People have worked hard forever, but in the past it was more self-directed and self-controlled."
Although an atheist, Hodgkinson says he admires the Medieval Christian calendar because it included a lot of religious holidays where people feasted and celebrated.
"Your main job as a Christian was to get into heaven, and work was not necessarily the way to do that. Then along came the Puritans …"
Apart from his own books, Hodgkinson recommends you grab a copy of The Compleat Angler, written by Izaak Walton in 1653. "It's basically a celebration of fishing as the ultimate idler's pastime; connected to nature, doing largely nothing, followed by a little bit of excitement, plus you get to eat the fish."
Since he began his journey as an idler, Hodgkinson says the movement of like-minded people is gaining traction around the world, with some his best online customers coming from Australia. He believes Generations Y and Z will eventually drive the way towards a four-day working week.
"I'm not necessarily telling people to quit their jobs and become a poet, but on the other hand working 100 hours a week in a job you hate is just bonkers. If you keep that regimen up you're heading for some kind of crash and the other facets of your life such as family and friends will be sorely neglected."
Do you practice an idler lifestyle? Or are you a workaholic? Tell us all about it in the Comments section below.

Interview with Marion Wright, March 8, 1978
Marion Wright describes his beliefs about racial justice and his membership in the Southern Regional Council (SRC). Wright was one of a group of white southerners who sought to tackle the entrenched racism of the 20th-century South. As a member of the SRC, Wright sought to end legal segregation, although he and other members were sensitive to pushing for too much change too quickly. The group also stayed off the streets as protest mounted, seeking to maintain its authority as well as its tax exempt status. As the civil rights movement reached new beginnings in the 1950s and 1960s, the SRC faded. This interview is a portrait of a civil rights leader in the era before the movement was defined by direct action.

About Me
Now Anastasia Severign Mimieux FMA Larisa Burdeynaya
Always happy to collaborate with photographers, makeup artists and wardrobe stylists that can benefit my book..if you're interested send me a PM.
In the process of revamping my portfolio..patience grasshopper..
~~What to Expect~~
Professional and always reliable (unless something happens that is out of my hands in which case I will contact you asap.). The best shoots for me always have music in the background. I prefer to speak with photographers over the phone a few times before meeting and discussing a shoot. I find it unprofessional to make plans via messenger online/ emails.I have been modeling since the age of six. Just brainstorm with me and the shoot will be outstanding! I am very easy to work with and try to have a great time so be prepared to laugh alot..Published in several beauty, fashion and sports magazines, a few commercials. Calendar girl as well.
Flakes not welcome. Honestly, if you cant make up your mind on what, when, where..annoy someone else with that nonsense.
PAID assignments obviously take priority. My rates are determined by content, shoot time and application. Please be specific in outlining your inquiry including dates, times, type of shoot, intended usage. Also will there be a MUA and/or stylist available.
All requests that are vague or otherwise unprofessional will be ignored. All payments must be made prior to assignment (no personal checks). Minimum two hours on all paid shoots.
Not interested in working with "Pushy" or "Hands on" photographers.
Will travel if expenses are paid prior to shoot. No TFP out of the Tri-State area, unless I happen to be traveling your way and have time.
I do not pay photographers. If you want to collaborate thats fantastic. But PLEASE..don't ask me to shoot then follow up with an email giving me your rates. If that's what I wanted, I would've asked
I will not do erotic pink.Please refrain from asking.
I am a certified MUA. (but prefer someone else to do makeup for me)
I am fully capable of styling my own hair (Though I prefer not to)
~Teams just make shoots go smoother in my opinion~
I have extensive wardrobe including accessories for almost every type of shoot.

During the past 40 years the average price of a new single-family home has risen by a factor of ten, making the cost of housing prohibitive for many Americans.

Shutting down an oil refinery that produces 102,000 barrels a day is no mean feat.
Coates Hire, however, is drawing on its experience around the country as this year it helps oil giant BP bring its Bulwer Island refinery in Brisbane offline to help convert it into a multi-product import terminal. The shutdown is part of a trend towards fuel suppliers shifting to larger refineries in Asia.
Safely shutting down process units at the Bulwer Island refinery, built on reclaimed land in the 1960s, involves decommissioning the current refinery and transforming it into a modern terminal.
Brad Macfarquhar, Business Development Manager – Industrial Services at Coates Hire, says such shutdowns are complex, and time and efficiency are of the essence.
"It's quite specialised and it's something that has not happened a lot in Australia," he says. The workplace health and safety requirements on such a high-risk industrial site must also be at the forefront. Everything has to be done with the highest level of safety in mind."
For the new project Coates Hire will use information gleaned from its recent experience in closing down Caltex's Kurnell refinery in Sydney, in addition to its other shutdown work at sites such as Fortescue in Western Australia, Caltex in Brisbane. MMG's Century Mine in Lawn Hill, Queensland, and the NRG power station in Gladstone, Queensland. Coates Hire also has a longstanding relationship with BP, courtesy of running its tools store at the Kwinana refinery in Western Australia.
Coates Hire leads the shutdown market on the strength of its proprietary strategies, methodologies and processes that maximise wrench time, a measure of employee productivity.
Macfarquhar says one of Coates Hire's major tasks at Bulwer Island will be managing a tools store, with both BP equipment and hire equipment to be included. As staff or workers need tools, the equipment will be scanned out and allocated to the person using them. The company's tool store system utilises CHASE – the Coates Hire Automated Site Environment management system. The licensed software package was developed to relieve the difficulties associated with issuing and returning tools and equipment in high demand, project site locations.
Macfarquhar says CHASE is crucial to ensuring on-the-job accountability, with the system allocating barcodes for every person and piece of equipment, which ranges from small spanners through to speciality tooling such as torque equipment, mechanical welders, forklifts and rough-terrain scissor lifts.
Such sophisticated analysis of equipment allows Coates Hire to report back to the client on exact usage rates and, critically, forecast demand for equipment.
"It really helps management keep its finger on the pulse as to what's happening in the tools store, while also driving accountability," Macfarquhar says.
In the tools store, Coates Hire will have a highly trained five-person team assigned to the job, with two people working in the store each day. The roster can be adjusted depending on the requirements of the site on any given day.
Aside from its experience managing tools stores, Coates Hire prides itself on its ability to remotely set up facilities on a client's site. In BP's case, there is the opportunity to set up a mobile tool store at the far end of the site to ensure workers have what they need "right at the coalface".
Macfarquhar says while most shutdown projects last weeks or a couple of months, the BP conversion at Bulwer Island is slated as a 40-week job, adding to the challenge for the Industrial Services team.
"So from that side of it, as well as the complications of bringing a refinery offline permanently and shutting it down, there's a lot of experience needed."
Coates Hire also promises dedicated points of contact to enable BP to streamline communications and ensure the efficiency of the project. Macfarquhar will be the go-to person for planning issues, while Queensland Shutdown Manager, Russell Olofsson works through site operational matters
They will be complemented by a team of experts at Coates Hire with experience in the shutdown environment.
"Because it's such a high pressure environment it is a very focused and well-trained team," Macfarquhar says.

Esselunga Names Advisor To Evalute Non-Binding Bids
Published on Sep 15 2016 9:15 AM in Retail tagged: Carrefour / Italy / Esselunga / Wal-Mart
The Board of Directors of Esselunga has appointed US investment bank Citigroup to assess the non-binding bids from private equity funds who have expressed an interest in the Italian retailer.
In recent months, Blackstone submitted an expression of interest for 60% of Esselunga, with an option on the remaining 40% of the group, in case the founder decides to sell all. Another bid was filed by the CVC fund, after a thorough analysis of the retailer.
Also interested was the Advent fund, but in the end pulled out of the operation.
Italian daily La Repubblica reported this week of renewed interest of the part of both US giant Walmart and France's Carrefour, who in the past approached Caprotti but failed to persuade him to sell his company.
As for the evaluation of Esselunga, preliminary estimates range from €4 billion to €6 billion, although much will depend on how much of the company will be sold and which properties will be offered together with the supermarkets.
Esselunga is owned by Italian businessman Bernardo Caprotti and its network consists of over 155 supermarkets.

hi Ross,
Yes, i have tried so many times on my PC, it works fine. I have installed the adminpack on my PC. you meant to say shall i stop the process from a PC.
please advise
check the attested file,

Have you check the group policy moduling thingy?
No good with names

Even the RSoP could help as well

Try going to a test machine and running gpupdate/force
Then go to the EventViewer and check under the Application log to see if you have an event with source "SceCli" and Event ID 1704. That tells you the GPO is being applied. If they are failing on the client side you would see an event with source "Usernev".
First off all I don't recommend you using the Default Domain policies for anything. It is best to create a new policy and leave the default ones alone. If the default policies get corrupted all hell breaks loose. Trust me, I spent days fixing an issue with a corrupt admin template on a default domain policy.
What changes are you trying to apply using the GPO? You might want to try to create a test OU. move a few test machines to it and test your settings with a new policy.

John Anson Co LLC is an IT service provider.
have you rebooted the server since the change tothe default policy. some changes to the defauly policy require a reboot.
best prsctice is to not make changes to the default policy but to add additional policies as needed
Nov 10, 2009 at 12:42 UTC
thanks guys, let me clarify some more thing,
We have DC & ADC for redundancy, as you all know win 2K3 server there are 2 security settings, 1- Default Domain controller Security Settings
2 - Default Domain Security Settings
we are using Default Domain Security Settings, that was working fine in recent days security settings are not applying to to clienst machines. users are started changing the password to single character ( i have set strong password policy (8 char, contains numeric, alpha numeric).
please let me know how can implement security settings, for my luck we have security audit next week.
Nov 10, 2009 at 12:55 UTC
when i did gpupdate /force, event 1202 has ran on Application Manager, Image attested.
Nov 11, 2009 at 12:57 UTC
Ouch... okay, well that could be problematic.
Basically, whenever a GPO (group policy) is propagated, the settings are registry keys being modified.
It seems as though, you can no longer write values to the registry, thus giving you an access denied error message.
This is not going to be easy to fix. There are some M$ articles that refer to things like this, but you did not specify the client version.
You can download and install the GPMC from M$ (unless you are already usung it)
* * * * * * *
Also, a good thing to note when using Group Policy... You must undo anything you have done in order for it to take effect.
For example:
Setting: "Force classic shell" -> Enabled will mod the registry for the machine/group
Simply setting it back to "not configured" does not undo the change and will remain locked as such until you specify to the system: "disabled"- thus changing the value again.
* * * * * * *
What changes have you made that caused this to stop working??

Patiala, India (PressExposure) December 16, 2008 -- There are effective benefits of internet marketing for your business are as following:-
1. Far Cheaper and Much More Flexible Than Print Advertising
The Internet is extremely different from print advertising in that space is cheap, your advertisement is accessible for a longer period of time, the content can be changed without having to ask someone to do it for you (if you use a content management system) and you can potentially reach a wider audience. For more information visit to :www.social-marketing-secret.comThis is not to say that you should not use other forms of advertising at all - You can use it to entice people to visit your website and find out about your company and potentially open two-way communication between the potential customer and a sales person.
2. Market Expansion
The Internet has allowed businesses to break through the geographical barriers and become accessible, virtually, from any country in the world by a potential customer that has Internet access.
3. Diversify Revenue Streams
A website is not just a medium for representation of your company; it is a form of media from which everybody can acquire information. You can use this media to sell advertising space to other businesses.
A recent trend has risen where businesses feature their very own directory of complimentary services, where the visitor can search for information on a business that will enhance the use of your service. The business sells complimentary businesses a listing in their directory. A good example is a catering company featuring a directory with businesses such as event co-ordinators, electronic equipment rental companies, etc.
4. 24 7 365
No more turning customers away when its time to close shop, putting up a note saying "closed for public holiday", or leaving an irritating message on your answering service specifying your trading hours - tell them to visit your website for information they are looking for.
5. Offer Convenience
It is far more convenient for a person to research a product on the Internet than it is to get in a car, drive somewhere and look for or ask someone for information on a product. Also, a potential customer won't have to judge a call centre agent to determine whether he/she has their best interests in mind, or just wants to make a sale. The potential customer can visit your website whenever they like in their own privacy and comfort, without the stresses and distractions that exist in the "real world".
Your website is a self-service medium - for example, instead of having to wait in a long cue to pay your TV Licence, you can now do it electronically through the TV Licence website.
6. Add Value and Satisfaction
By offering convenience, a point of reference and that touch of individualised customer service, you ultimately add value to your offering and your customers experience a higher level of satisfaction.
Your website can add value in other ways too, by featuring tips, advice and general interest content you can "entertain" your customers. This will also help them remember you better.
7. Standardize Sales Performance
By looking at which approached / pitches have worked in the past and those which have not, you can produce the ultimate pitch and use it with your website, so that you use it on every customer. No more training of sales people and waiting for them to get a feel for your line of trade.
8. Improve credibility
A website gives you the opportunity to tell potential customers what you are about and why you deserve their trust and confidence. For more info login to:www.outsource-beginners.comIn fact, many people use the internet for pre-purchase research so that they can determine for themselves whether a particular supplier or brand is worthy of their patronage, and won't take them for a ride.
The Internet also allows for Viral Marketing - where your website visitors spread positive word-of-mouth about your business - your customers do your marketing!

Chautauqua Rehabilitation And Nursing Center
Talk to a Family Advisor:
Reviews of Chautauqua Rehabilitation And Nursing Center
Lward0617 October 14, 2011
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Overall the Chautauqua center is built well, and physically maintained well. It is clean on the inside and out, and has a very presentable appearance. The facility offers a courtyard and cafeteria, and a social lobby for residents. I however was very displeased with the service being provided, there were at times residents sitting in the hallway for hours in their wheelchair, doing nothing but drooling and moaning. It is not the facility itself but most definitely some of the workers present. Some of the caregivers I met were extremely polite and well mannered, however some chose to look at you with daggers, and ignore you entirely. My own grandmother was neglected a few times until we pulled her out of the facility. She was left in bed all day, and wasn't given a bath. It seems like some workers preferred to give them their pills for the day and leave them alone. Great facility with poor staffing, it needs better management.

- Respect the customer
Just like a store, the buyer is king. Because it is online, you may be interacting with customers from different regions and cultural backgrounds and education are different as well. Here you are required patience and respect customers. But as a seller, you also need to have boundaries that should not be violated norms.

Day 1: Gauteng- Kruger Park
The group will depart from Johannesburg between 06-30 and 08-00 to allow time for collection from various points. From here, guests travel through the Highveld and then down the escarpment through the scenic Lowveld. Guests will stop for lunch (own expense) and reach Skukuza Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park in the afternoon.
After settling into your accommodation, you will head out on your first game drive! All game drives are conducted in specially adapted 4×4 open game drive vehicles to allow you the best possible vantage point. On return, you have some time to visit the Park's shop, go for a walk and explore your surroundings.
Dinner is a three course meal served al fresco at the private camp within Skukuza. Along with dinner, a selection of wine will be served but guests are allowed to bring along alternative and/ or additional drinks.
(Dinner included)
Day 2: Full Day in the Park
This can be extended up to 5 full days in the park.
No matter how many days you choose, the itinerary for full days in the park remain the same.
It's an early wake up today (times depend on seasons and park gate opening times) to get the best of what dawn has to offer in the Kruger National Park. A quick coffee and/or tea (rusks included) will be had before an excursion into the park. The morning safari will take approximately 3-4 hours. Guests usually enjoy fantastic sightings in the morning with the help of a knowledgeable guide!
After the morning drive guests will return to Skukuza for breakfast/ brunch at the camp. After breakfast you will have time to relax and enjoy some of the other activities including swimming, a visit to Skukuza museum, the park shop packing with curios, drinks and snacks. Guests may just want to catch up on some sleep, read a book or relax at the viewing platform situated in front of the restaurant overlooking the Sabie River. So make sure to bring your binoculars to view the flurry of the birds Skukuza has to offer.
After this relaxed time, guests will set off on an afternoon game drive in a specially adapted 4×4 open game drive vehicles. The vehicle affords one the best vantage point as well as the best opportunity of spotting game.
NB: This option is only available to those on a safari of 5 days or longer – A SAN Parks Bush Walk is available to guests spending 5 days or more on safari.

The walk affords the opportunity to get up close and personal with nature and observe things one may miss in a safari vehicle. Please remember to pack comfortable walking shoes.
After an afternoon drive, guests will return to camp to enjoy a delicious dinner and tales told under the stars and relaxation around a camp fire.
(Breakfast & Dinner included)
The Last Day- Kruger Park- Gauteng
Today guests will have one last chance to explore and try find what might have been missed in the park. An early morning game drive will see guests out in the park one final time before returning to a scrumptious breakfast.

(Breakfast included)

There is a permanent camp in Skukuza, which is also where the open game drive vehicles are based. Safaris with accommodation in multiple rest camps are available on request.
It is important to note that this is not a private safari and more than likely there will be other guests joining you on the game drive vehicles, air-conditioned mini bus transfer vehicles as well as in the dining facility.
Please note that sunset game drive times are subject to change and availability on the day. These drives are conducted by SAN PARKS, by one of their rangers and in one of their vehicles. There will most likely be other guests on this drive. Children under 6 years of age are not allowed on SAN Parks open game drive vehicles.
Although children are welcome on safaris, the right is reserved to not allow younger children on normal game drives. This will be entirely up to the guide's discretion and will be in order to ensure a pleasurable game drive for all guests (including the parents). Should this be the case, a bush bumble (kiddies game drive) will be conducted after the normal game drive, especially for the kids. Babysitting is not offered and as such one of the parents will have to stay behind to watch the children. Private game drives for families can be arranged at an extra charge.
Guests flying out of OR Tambo Airport on the last day are reminded to not book any flights earlier than 19h00 (domestic) or 20h00 (international) in order to give us enough time to get you to the airport. It is recommended that you rather stay over in Johannesburg if possible. Since your arrival time in Johannesburg cannot be guaranteed on the last day, only you will be held responsible for making your flight on time and booking it at a suitable time. Private transfers for guests with early flights can be arranged in advance at an extra charge.

As a member of the House Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus, Congressman Schiff has long advocated for increased investments in alternative energy and the development of energy efficient technology. Today, European and Asian competitors are developing technologies that will reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions of greenhouse gases. Rather than American entrepreneurs, it is our competitors who are prospering from these developments. By marshalling America's great strengths -- our innovativeness, our technological prowess, and our entrepreneurial spirit --Schiff believes that we can better secure our nation, save the environment, and become the world leader in a cutting-edge industry.
On the first day of the 111th Congress, Schiff introduced H.R. 175, a bill to expand the ability of the Federal Government to purchase cheap renewable energy. The Federal government is currently prohibited from signing energy contracts for more than 10 years, which prevents the government from taking advantage of a thriving private market in renewable energy. Many private installers sign agreements with homeowners, businesses, and local and state government agencies to install solar, geothermal or wind energy on their premises, recouping the cost with a 20- or 30-year agreement to buy power, often at lower-than-market rates. Unfortunately, to get the cheapest rates, these agreements must stretch to 20 years. H.R. 175 fixed this problem and was included in the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which passed the House on June 26, 2009.
The American Clean Energy and Security Act was a ground-breaking effort to provide energy independence and fight global warming while keeping energy prices low. Unfortunately, it did not pass the Senate in the 111th Congress.
Schiff continues to fight to keep the renewable energy industry growing in America, and particularly in California, by supporting tax credits and loan guarantees for renewable energy research and development at the Department of Energy that will provide new avenues to affordable and homegrown green energy. He has also opposed efforts to strip the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to regulate air pollution, which would harm countless families across the country, and particularly those in metropolitan areas like Los Angeles that suffer from the terrible effects of air pollution.

Sponge Cake is a product that only appears in the episode "To Save a Squirrel." It is also mentioned in "InSPONGEiac," when Patrick thinks SpongeBob is one and bites his hand. In "To Save a Squirrel," Patrick has this product and is going to offer to share some with SpongeBob, but SpongeBob thinks Patrick is going to eat him.
It has a bright yellow exterior, and, according to Patrick, has a delicious creamy filling inside which is seen in "InSPONGEiac."

- In the game SpongeBob vs. The Big One: Beach Party Cook-Off, sponge cakes appear as a dessert item on the menu. However, they look entirely different from the one shown in the episode "To Save a Squirrel," as they appear to be part of SpongeBob with green frosting on them. To make one, the player would have to juice, melt, deep fry, and paint in that order.

Shipwreck Treasure
February 3, 2012 by staff
Shipwreck Treasure, On a day when Irish families faced yet more financial pain, they could be forgiven for trying to trace any distant ancestral ties to one US treasure hunter who claims to have located a haul worth over $3bn (€2.3bn).
Carrying what could be one of the richest sunken treasure troves ever found, a British merchant ship carrying platinum bars was torpedoed by a German U-boat off Cape Cod during the Second World War.
A lawyer for the British government doubted the vessel was carrying platinum but added that if it was laden with precious metals, who owns the hoard could be a matter of international dispute.
Treasure hunter Greg Brooks of Sub Sea Research in Gorham, Maine, announced that a wreck found sitting in 210m of water, 80km offshore is that of the SS Port Nicholson, sunk in 1942. He said he and his crew identified it via the hull number and he hopes to begin raising the treasure by early March.
"I'm going to get it, one way or another, even if I have to lift the ship out of the water," he said.
Brooks said the Port Nicholson was headed for New York with 71 tonnes of platinum valued at the time at about $53m when it was sunk in an attack that left six people dead.
The platinum was a payment from the Soviet Union to the US for war supplies. The vessel was also carrying gold bullion and diamonds.

Welcome to Mummy Fest – A collection of everything I have related to ancient Egyptians walking the Earth. From The Mummy (1911) to The Scorpion King (2008). A History of Classic Monsters: Mummies by John Gaines states that although mummies were created by one of oldest civilizations in history their development into demonic monsters is largely a 20th century construct. Bram Stoker of Dracula fame wrote a story about an evil mummy in "The Jewel of the Seven Stars" 1903.
Carl Laemmle Jr. commissioned a plot for a movie based on the opening of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. This became The Mummy (1932) starring Boris Karloff and it set the bar high for all future mummy movies.
I have assembled a little list of movies by Universal, Hammer, and others that follow The Mummy (1932) line. They are: The Mummy's Hand (1940), The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), The Mummy's Curse (1944), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955), The Mummy (1959), The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964), The Mummy's Shroud (1966), Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971), The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Returns (2001), The Scorpion King (2002), The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (2008), The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008), The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (2012), and of course Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955). One day I hope to review all of these movies and place them under a mummy theme.
Boris Karloff – King of the Monsters
I don't think I will get much argument if I say that Boris Karloff was the greatest Frankenstein of them all. Although Peter Boyle was pretty good. Karloff was a British actor that began stage work in Canada and then made his way to Hollywood. He made some silent films but had to maintain jobs such as ditch digger to survive. By 1931 Karloff was on his way with The Criminal Code (1931) and Five Star Final (1931), a film that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Of course, the biggest role of all was that of the monster in Frankenstein (1931). Karloff was about 5 feet 11 inches. The costume that he work for this role had 4-inch platforms and weighed 8 pounds each. Karloff's costume was designed by Jack Pierce and was copyrighted by Universal Studios making it harder for other studios to copy the success of Frankenstein. Oddly Lon Chaney Sr, father of Wolf Man Lon Chaney Jr. Was offer the role of … Continue reading The post Boris Karloff – King of the Monsters appeared first on Classic Movie Reviews - Snarky. […]

You can also go to snarkymoviereviews.com to read notes, bios, and other random movie thoughts. I am very excited to get to The Mummy (1932). When I watched this for the show I found that Boris Karloff is still scary as Ardath Bey with his deadpan stare and wrinkled skin. So I will jump right in with Boris Karloff. Boris Karloff the king of the movie monster played a dual role or three depending on how you count. In this movie he was the living Im-Ho-Tep, the dead Im-Ho-Tep AKA the mummy, and Ardath Bey the mummy in his seconding life.

Am i weird? I know I've missed out on some experiences... Ok... i feel like i missed out on a lot... did i?
Most Helpful Guy
After you get a good man, I'm not sure if it'll be missing out so much as simply "late". But I don't consider it weird. Just uncommon and sad. (I'm almost 30, and have still been single my whole life...)00|00|0
Why sad?
The additional amount of time you could have had together if you'd met sooner in life. Potential time is what's missed out on.
Yea i know but hey thats life

It's saddened for all of us that Hollywood's highest paid actress 'Angelina Jolie' is now getting divorced after her 12 years of marriage with Brad Pitt, a famous actor, and producer of Bollywood. The couple first started dating each other in the year 2004 and got married in the year 2014. On Monday the actress decided to file a divorce with Brad Pitt due to multiple reasons. Angelina cited irreconcilable differences and also asked for physical custody of their six children.
The news of their divorce shaked the entire world as the couple was titled as one of the most loving and powerful couples. The couple showcases a perfect chemistry and romance but now their romance will be no longer after this divorce. The pair had many issues among them and many of them are mentioned below in this post. Exact confirmation of reasons are still folded but some rumors are on air that there were many reasons for the angry behaviour of Brad with Angelina and one most strong reasons was an extramarital affair with Marion Cotillard.
This will be the third divorce for Jolie at her age of 41. Jolie had her first marriage with Johnny Lee Miller and then secondly with Billy Bob Thornton. While on the other hand, this is the second divorce for Brad Pitt at an age of 52 years and he had broken up with his first wife named Jennifer Aniston. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fell for each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Given below are some of the possible reasons behind their divorce:
Angelina cites irreconcilable differences as the reason and she also asked for physical custody of their six children.
1. Jolie was upset with the way Pitt was parenting the children.
2. A source claims that Jolie was fed up with Pitt's consumption of weed and may be Alcohol too.
3. Jolie was also upset with Brad's angry behaviour.
4. Some reports also claim that the solid matter behind divorce is cheating which points towards an extramarital affair of Brad with Marion Cotillard.
5. 'I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids,' Pitt said in a statement to DailyMail.

At the World Council of Churches Assembly in Vancouver in 1983, United Church minister Kathryn Anderson first heard the Guatemalan poet, journalist and exiled theologian Julia Esquivel describe how and why more than one million Maya in a national population of eight million had fled their homes and how thousands of Maya campesinos (rural farmers), labour leaders and students had been torture, disappeared, raped and assassinated by the Guatemalan army. "How was it that I, a fairly knowledgeable social activist, knew virtually nothing about this savage war being waged only a few hours' flight south?" she asked herself. A few days later she attended a coffeehouse gathering for WCC delegates hosted by a Vancouver ecumenical group Guatemala Refugee Project to sponsor Guatemalan labour lawyers Marta Gloria de la Vega and Enrique Torres and their five children. Esquivel read her poetry and there were performances by Teatro Vivo and the Kin Lalat musical group. Anderson decided to visit Guatemala. In 1991, she helped coordinate Project Accompaniment, a network of Canadians who accompanied refugees returning from Mexico into Guatemala, and participated in the program herself for two months. In 1996, she and her partner Wilf Bean served as United Church volunteers with the Fellowship of Maya Presbyteries. Guatemala's civil war supposedly ended on December 29, 1996. Her book Weaving Relationships: Canada-Guatemala Solidarity (Wilfrid Laurier Press, 2003) recounts the context for refugee support throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are frequent birth defects that cause facial deformities. The defects occur early in prenatal life, when the sides of the lip and the roof of the mouth in a developing fetus do not fuse together as they should. Clefts can be complete or partial, and can occur on one side of the face or on both.
Both of these conditions create serious functional and aesthetic problems in the mouth, the nose and the face that require surgical correction. A cleft palate causes a hole in the hard palate (the bony ridge at the roof of the mouth) and/or the soft palate (the muscle tissue further back in the mouth), and a cleft lip leaves the top lip unfused, and causing an appearance ranging from a small notch in the skin or a complete separation, from the lip to the nose.
The gum supporting the teeth of the upper jaw is called the alveolus. Depending on the severity of the cleft, both a cleft lip and a cleft palate can also cause a disturbance in the alveolus - a hole or gap in the gum-line. This gap is called an alveolar cleft. An alveolar cleft essentially creates an opening between the mouth and the nose, and also prevents the proper growth of the front teeth.
Correcting the alveolar cleft is usually performed around the age of 6 to 9. This is because if the surgery is conducted when the child is younger than this, the scar tissue that forms during healing will interfere with the normal development of the face. An alveolar cleft is corrected with a graft of bone and soft tissue.
Often, before alveolar cleft grafting surgery can be done to close the cleft, the mouth must be widened with an orthodontal brace for several months. Surgery is then done to close the cleft.
Dr. Butterfield and Dr. Kucey are our Cleft Surgeons at CHEO. The surgery is done under general anaesthesia, and usually requires a night's stay in the hospital. First, bone is taken from another part of the patient's body (often from the hip or chin). The soft tissue (gums) is lifted, and the new bone is then grafted to the existing bone in the patient's upper jaw. The gum is then replaced and the incision is sewn closed.
Over the next weeks to months, the grafted bone becomes incorporated into the patient's own bone tissue. Gradually, normal permanent teeth will be able to erupt through the graft. Most often, after all the permanent teeth have come out, patients will need to get braces to straighten them.

TSA: "Remember when we first saw those swirling vapour trails, dynamic animation and seemingly freeform progression as Sony first showed off Killzone 2 at E3, 2005? This was what the PlayStation 3 was capable of, apparently, and I for one was mesmerised, my attention locked for the whole two minutes."
God, if they show off a controler like that which is the standard DS controler or if they have any Kinect/Move like stuff in the box then it's a no buy from me. I don't see the point in paying for a console when I'm going to be paying for stuff I don't want and not going to use.
I'd rather just have a normal controler, the wires/leads and my new console
I'm sure you'll get a normal controller for both PS4/720. Can't guarantee Move/Kinect stuff won't be packed in though. The casual market is too big to ignore.
I don't mind if it's well after the consoles come out, I just don't want them wasting there time on making next gen about casuals aswell when they can start focusing more on us and our needs.
We're the ones who will buy it day one, the ones who will buy the best stuff for it and the exclusives that come out for that console. The casuals will just buy it to play a few games of Move/Kinect crap to kill time then thats it so whats the point developing a new console around them. I;d rather see them making the best console they can not dumb things down for the casuals.
Seriously they are killing this industry, it's the reason why so many games we once loved are getting sequels which are dumbed down or have become..."accessible& quot ;. Hate to think what Elder Scrolls 6 will be like :|
I don't understand why people automatically assume that Move only caters to casuals. One could argue that its more hardcore than the DS3 as far as shooters are concerned. Sharpshooter provides a whole different level of challenge/immersion. It makes shooters harder because suddenly your using your entire upper body to get headshots as opposed to just your hands.
Why do you care what it looks like and who are you trying to impress? It's absolutely idiotic to think that someone would pass up on a console simply because the controller doesn't look pretty. And those drawings are for the sake of the patent and are not indicative of the final design of the product.
I agree with Logic,
Until Dawn is a perfect example of a non-casual move game.
Who says there not going to buy it because it's dosent look "pretty" I would buy it if it was a Move hybrid or if it feature gimmicks like motion controls on the standard controler
Next time read through someones comment before posting.
If PSVita is any indication for what holds in future for next gen is the controller style.
DualShock4 most probably will have touchpad if not touchscreen (like Wii U Controller). One of the reason I believe PS3 Controller is not able to be used with PSVita (like you can with PSPGo) is because, first the obvious reasons (touchpad and touchscreen), second I believe PS4 DS4 Controller will provide required number of interfaces (buttons/touchX) and will be connectable with PSVita ... which PS3 controller is unable to suffice atm.
I'm pretty sure the control won't look like that. That patent was a while back before the move controller came out or was shown. Have no idea why people are questioning now.
I hate motion control but as long as its optional and I can still use a traditional dual shock then ill still buy PS4.
Wait before we go any further I have to talk about that killzone concept video... that was so crazy, the game turned out to look nothing like that.. LoL
(the game turned out to look much better, but why did they even make a CGI fake) so misleading..
Oh and before i go any further this is the best fan made killzone video I have ever seen go watch it right now - http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Awesome video if your a fan of the game..
but yeah that render, Reminds me of how Motorstorm got in-trouble with there target render, which was nothing like the actual Game.. Nothing like it.. LoL
Please Sony Don't do that again.. Show actual game-play...from the actual game...
Lol you think the game looked better than the cgi trailer... I figured some fanboys would still be in denial...Also Sony had to show target footage (as misleading as it was) because the game would of been very early in development duh!
@ Psychonaughty
Yeah, I didn't mean it the way it sounds, Maybe I didn't state it clearly...
I meant the CGI in the game turned out to be far better then the CGI target render, which again just makes me wonder why they even used it, because it's not close to the actual Games engine..
here look at the opening of the game - https://www.youtube.com/wat...
this is what I was talking about looking better in the game..
And I hated killzone 2, the whole game made me dizzy, it wasn't until Killzone 3 that I was even able to play it, so I'm far from a fanboy..
and of course it's early in development but use the game's engine to make the CGI like God Of War III or The Last Of Us so at least it represents the actual game. That's all I was saying
Not sure how I feel about graphics looking anymore real...I am old school and hate watching HD movies with the motion blur turned on - its like watching the news and takes away from the movie expreinace,same goes for games.
Why are some people stuck in the past? If the next ps comes with move and next xbox comes with kinect it means more developers will use the tech fpr there games instead of making it an addon to a game.
I think wii mote move and kinect have been good for the console business as they have opened the door to everyone to play games. I mean come on we have not been short of AAA games this gen and why dose gaming have to be about the core? Gaming is for everyone and as long as the core gets there core games and none core gets fun games they like its a win win for everyone.
Gaming isn't for everyone
Real gamers don't need gimmicks shoved down their throat to like games, they become gamers because they are actualy interested in them.
Look at all the things this gen held back or dumbed down because of the casual audience. They ruin things
@ Root
"Real gamers don't need gimmicks shoved down their throat to like games"
I agree, real gamers are open to new gaming experiences and don't bash on something just because developers want to try something different in how games are played.
If it wasn't for the casuals, there wouldn't be a market for consoles. Casuals greatly have outnumber the hardcore on consoles every generation.
You shouldn't be so negative towards the casuals, they helped the industry get to this stage in gaming.
@Root Ok so by what your saying real Gamers don't play on consoles as its the same hardware for 5 to 8 years so gaming is held back. PC must be the only place where real gamers are as they have nothing holding them back?
Come on get real. How do you expect the next core to get into gaming if its not open to everyone. Also what do you class as a Core game? By your comment it needs Guns?
Core gamers play all types of games not just one with guns and killing people.
If I look at my collection of games I have MarioU, ZombieU, Sonic All stars, COD BO2, Halo 4 Forza 4, Forza Horizon, Alan Wake, Fifa 13, NHL 13, GT5, Resistance BS, NFS HP, PS All stars, LBP, Kinect Sports, Dance Central to just name a few and there is a mix of all types of games there.
Also who says that a games console has to be for the core only? I don't know how old you are but if you had kids or younger brothers would you not play games with them?
This industry is now massive and that is because of the none core and Core if it was just the core who bought consoles we would see this gen being dominated by one console like the last 2 gens where its been a very good one for all 3 and for me that is what I want to see as having 3 consoles doing well is better for all of us no matter what type of gamer you are.
If people continue to think like this the industry will never move forward. 100 yrs from now we will still be using dual shocks. :/
" don't see the point in paying for a console when I'm going to be paying for stuff I don't want and not going to use. "
That is inevitable. It's not like a pc you customize for yourself consoles are an everything for everyone in a box.
Motorstorm World Tour as ps4 launch title sony, thats all im asking at this moment.
And raw like the first one, imo still the best. Played them all, loved only one. To the death, untill the servers went down:(
Once in a while I still try to go online, hoping for that one lobby filled with the Gods and Legends that mattered back in the days, rallying for hours on Grizzly, through the Gulch, on and off Mesa...
Good times!
Your passion for the Motorstorm series is unparalleled and I think its awesome!!
I expect to see you asking for Motorstorm: Planetary Meltdown when PS5 releases. :)
to the majority of playstation fans Uncharted, little big planet or inFAMOUS are the best new IPs sony created this generation, To me that title belongs to Motorstorm!!!!!!! my favorite franchise created this generation.
Motorstorm: Planetary Meltdown on ps5 LMAO, Lunatics from the future Unite!!!!
I would love this. I wasn't a big fan of Apocalypse, but I loved the first one and Pacific Rift (even got the platinum for it). To me, the series is at its best when it's pure racing. I loved the environmental chaos in Split/Second, but it just didn't click with me in Apocalypse.
I hope they drop the story aspects too and go back to the straightforward style of the first two... Mud, crash, and rednecks.
It sucks that racers have such a hard time standing out in the current market. Hopefully Sony sees the opportunity to put the spotlight on MotorStorm in the PS4's early years before the market gets too crowded again.
It would make a great showcase title too. MotorStorm was the first game I played for the PS3 on a demo kiosk back before PS3 launched. Seeing a truck explode in front of me then fly over the top of mine was just amazing at the time.
I want Evo to create the most adrenaline pumping, brutal motorstorm game to date, with settings from all over the world like snow, desert, rain, island, water, cockpit view, insane AI and all about racing once more.
if you still play Apocalypse add me so we can race, my psn id: remanutd5
Good article. Here's hoping it's real time too. No reason why it can't be. Killzone 4 with next gen tech would have everyone in awe. Imagine, life like water physics, lots of particle effects, highley detailed characters and environments etc.
We need something in the A.I department too to go with all the visual prowess. Can't wait!
I agree. The next playstation should definitely pull it off
forget ai on ps4 i want the lAst of us to give us a litttle tease first
PS4 4K games 2013
PS5 8k games by 2020 guarantied
PS6 will by like in the movie "the gamer" where we have tv screens all around the walls..
I don't understand how so many people think that the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer looks better than Killzone 2. Do these people really have Killzone 2? Those flames look like they were taken out of Unchartes: Golden Abyss. The lighting isn't comparable either. Maybe you aren't as amazed by the final game because you weren't comparing it to PS2 anymore, but it clearly looks better.
The trailer is clearly not possible yet, it might not even be possible next-gen, I don't understand how anyone could think the finished game looks better (as good looking as it is).

Good or bad? Is it bad to want or drink coffee any time of the day, and I'm not talking about Starbucks....
It's all about the moderation in my book. Like most things, moderation is key. If you are drinking 12 cups of coffee a day it's not good for you. One or two is no big deal.
)) for me it's absolutly normal. cant live without coffee
I drink 2-3 cups in the morning but today for some reason I wanted more today.
Iced coffee is pretty much my drink of choice throughout the day. I love the taste of it...my husband had the nerve the other day to ask if I drank anything besides coffee and I got super offended and defensive. I think maybe that's a sign I'm drinking too much :-)
LOL, it's the addiction speaking. ;)
I love iced coffee too. Do you get the bottles or the kind that comes in the milk carton and pour over ice?
I love iced coffee too. Do you get the bottles or the kind that comes in the milk carton and pour over ice?
Totally the addiction speaking! lol the ones you pour over ice are too thick for me but I love those bottled Starbucks ones but when I'm at home I just make my own. I grind my coffee beans every morning and that makes a huge difference. I've gotten pretty good at making it...plus I like a strong coffee flavor, add a little sugar and some whole milk or half and half and sometimes some vanilla extract if I want some extra flavor and I'm good to go :-)

Located in the heart of SoHo, 151 Wooster blends the form and function of the artist's bygone loft with the grandeur and opulence of today's most elegant living spaces. An exclusive collection of ten 3,000 sq. ft. luxury lofts and one 8,000 sq. ft. penthouse, the lofts at 151 Wooster are meticulous in their aesthetic and masterfully appointed in their detail. Alfa Development directed a full gut renovation of the entire building including entirely new mechanical systems, new flooring and a new rooftop pavillion while working around an occupied retail space. The architectural details of the original facade which were fully restored by Alfa Development are stunning with detailed limestone window carvings, light antiqued brick and a dramatic cornice. This restoration in keeping with the character of the neighborhood was contrasted with extremely high-end Mies Van Der Rooh inspired contemporary finishes in the lofts designed by Lee H. Skolnick Design + Architecture Partnership, internationally respected for their unique high-end residences and museum designs. 151 Wooster has since become the most desirable luxury loft destination in all of SoHo due to its exquisitely executed design, its 24 hour doorman, its extremely high profile demographic, and its permanent Certificate of Occupancy.
During the interior demolition of the 8th floor one of the more fascinating works of art ever uncovered in New York City was discovered behind an old kitchen wall. The two part 18'x11' & 10'x11' mural had been hidden for almost 30 years and featured prominent urban downtown artists such as Jean Michel Basquiat, Fab 5 Freddy, Francesco Clemente, Futura 2000, Rammellzee, and Koor. The mural underwent a $200,000 restoration and removal job and was featured in an art gallery Alfa Development constructed and operated on the 2nd floor of the building called Gallery 151. The piece and the gallery has since then been featured in hundreds of news outlets around the world, has had thousands of visitors, and has had documentaries and TV shows produced about them.

What was I expecting?
Maybe, "Thanks! Tomorrow's not good - but can you do next weekend"
Overall, things are nice and busy - we were booked ever day last week and I'm fine being free today - will give me a chance to get a designer friend over to see if we can create an intelligent 'back drops / set building' system for future use...
...but I keep spinning it around the other way:
Photographer wants to shoot 3 girls in a 'phantasy' environment and a model tells him that she will make that happen... When he gets the call 3 weeks laters say "Ladies and outfits are ready to go" - would blowing them off be the right choice?...
Just a thought

Well at first glance it does make her sound like a diva but you didn't say anything regarding what communication you had in between.

Communication is always important even if it's just to reassure someone you haven't forgotten about them.

You do know the free thing doesn't pay well....
If you are giving it for free what is it worth? nothing,, no time, no effort and no commitment.
Might happen if you get the right hair/makeup??
Model calls you with the idea,call the hair/makeup/ ask if they do it what cost,, add your price call model back tell her can be done for this amount. yes/no, DONE....

If I hadn't heard from a model for three weeks after making overtures and she said "Shoot Tomorrow?" - I might - if I wasn't doing anything else.
But to be honest if I don't hear back from models within 7 days after first contact, I give up on them (assuming they've been online and read the message). Maybe she's the same? Can't blame her really.
I chase models up once a week or so if the shoot is scheduled for within the next month and every month or so if it's longer, with confirmatory emails one week and then one day before the shoot. Nothing dramatic, just "Hi, how's it going? Still OK for XXX date?"

I agree with the majority of the replies. The fault is on the OP, based on what was written.
1. Did the model even know that the OP was doing all the preparation behind the scenes?
2. Did the OP really expect people to just do something "tomorrow" at the drop of the hat?

Don't let someone else be in charge of your creative success. Do the shoot anyway with a different model. I would.

That highly annoys me when people do what you do, as a model. I and many models like me actually go shop for wardrobe. If you do an initial contact then drop for 3 weeks, we assume you bailed. Then to contact saying you're suddenly ready will rush us into a frenzy of stress if we do decide to accept it.
Many models need time and planning. If you want to keep a shoot, constantly update the model at least every few days.

Three weeks could easily be long enough for a model to find another photographer or lose interest in the project -- especially if there was not good communication during that time.
Maybe the bit about being unprofessional was excessive, but it should not be a surprise when people lose interest. Happens to all of us, all the time.

Definitely your communication skills at fault, based on the fact you skipped all the question posed on page one.
Give the model a timeframe and update her regularly.

To me it seems like your were more invested in the project than she was. She sparked your interest. Now you have a spectacular MUA...so get 3 models to recreate that look. Create weekend sessions and if you can get another MUA (if the other may not be available) all the better. Develop the concept till its perfect. You answered a casting that sparked your interest, now throw it back out in the universe and see what happens.
Best o' luck

Someone needs several hundred pounds worth of studio, photography, make up and editing - you speak, twice, and say that you'll 'put it together for them', but it takes 21 days... I think it's nice that a stranger makes that effort for you 'at all'
In the meantime, we've shot with a number of other models - some of which have also been published - and the 'positive tags' continue to roll in
My advice?
If you need a lot of stuff done and someone says they'll do it - for free - then it might be worth ringing to check on progress (just) before your toys go out of the pram
