I don't get the different whether he be from Canada or England. Hal is an American. Ryan Reynolds is Canadian. By your own logic you should hate him in the part!
And as for J.K.Rowling wanting only British actors in the parts is mostly cause American actors have no idea of being British other than butchering the accent. And just cause Superman is "American." Doesn't mean anything! He is a World Icon! Besides, what the hell does it matter who plays the character as long as he fits the criteria for the part? Tall, Good looking, has a squared jaw. and can act! I got to wonder how you would feel when rumored that Will Smith was supposedly up for the part when they were doing Superman Returns. A Black Superman! Would you have hated that too? Of course I would have, not that he would have been black. I just hate Will Smith!

Winterization costs rise to $225,000 for Lebo renovation
The Mt. Lebanon school board approved a $150,000 change order related to winterization costs for its high school renovation project at the June 17 meeting. Contractors required additional winterization after unexpected delays pushed a significant amount of work to winter months.
Unforeseen soil conditions and utility conflicts all contributed to the delay, including the accidental strike of a 5KV power line.
Board president Elaine Cappucci said the total cost of includes an earlier change order for $75,000, bringing the total to $225,000.
"Any time you are doing renovations you will run into unforeseen conditions," board member Jo Posti said. "It's just the nature of old buildings, old drawings – there are things you just cannot anticipate until you start digging around." She added that the construction manager and contractors resolve many issues without them ever coming to the board.
School superintendent Dr. Tim Steinhauer explained that the winterization change orders had come down from a much higher figure. "The total requests were about double," he said. "Through discussion and negotiation we feel we have reached a fair and equitable solution."
Dr. Steinhauer went on to say the administration and construction team continue to work on credits related to the project. He said they hope to bring a sizable credit before the board in July.
"In every project there is a process of give and take," he concluded.

Jun. 5th - Jul. 28th
Bosque Summer is an exciting summer full of creative, flexible, and engaging programming for students in grades 1-12. Most Bosque Summer programs are 1-week, full-day schedules (8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.) with many class options throughout the day. In addition, before and after care programs are available. We also offer half
day sports camps and special classes for high school students. Bosque Summer is flexible and individualized per family and student.
Jun. 27th - Jul. 31st
The Cottonwood Gulch Prairie Trek began in 1926 when our founder, Hillis Howie, learned of plans to pave Route 66. He wanted to make sure that his students learned about the American West and Native cultures before it was too late. This 5 week, all male Trek will inspire and challenge young men through wilderness backpacking, local service projects, rock climbing, mountaineering, canyoneering, and exploration of cultural and scientific sites around the Four Corners. Prairie Trekkers spend a large part of their Trek traveling from site to site, bound only by the road and their destination. The remaining time will be spend at our Base Camp property located in the Zuni Mountains. Here Trekkers will work on their personal legacy projects that may include forest restoration projects, organic farming projects, or special carpentry additions to Base Camp. Prairie Trekkers have the highest rate of return and represent a 90 year legacy here at The Gulch.
Jun. 27th - Jul. 31st
Mountain Desert Trek is an experience unlike any other. Are you ready to spend 6 weeks backpacking through desert canyons, up mountain peaks, across rivers, and into the wilderness? Do you enjoy ghost towns, Native American cultures, local artists and musicians, service learning, and organic farming? The Cottonwood Gulch Mountain Desert Trek is our longest and most intensive Trek designed for young men and women ages 16-18. This Trek will spend much of their 44 days exploring sites like a Colorado 14er, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, The Great Sand Dunes, and many other world class destinations. MDT Trekkers will develop leadership skills through personal projects, planning expeditions, demonstrating expedition mentality, and communal living. Most importantly, Trekkers will learn self-reliance, compassion for their peers, and how to overcome personal challenges.
Jun. 27th - Jul. 31st
The Turquoise Trail (a.k.a. The TT) was started in 1934, and it's been a pride of the Gulch ever since. Back then, The Gulch was a pioneer in getting young women outdoors. Today, the Turquoise Trail still inspires women to challenge express themselves as young women. This 5 week long all-female Trek will enamor trekkers and take them through wilderness backpacking trips, local service projects, rock climbing and mountaineering, and explorations of cultural and scientific sites throughout the Southwest. This Trek will spend the majority of their time out on the open road traveling the four corners. However, we settle down for 10 days at our Base Camp to work of legacy projects. In the past, these projects have included adobe kiln and horno restoration, pottery and silver smithing in our Native Arts Workshop, organic farming, forest restoration, and Base Camp beatification projects. Like our original trip, the Prairie Trek, nearly every member of this group returns for a second summer; a testament to the power of these experiences.

Perhaps some inspiration for the Four Horsemen...
In the 80s when the line first came out (before I got Castle Grayskull) I found some old snap together model sets at a discount store that I use to use with my He-Man and Teela figures. They were called MONSTER SCENES. Apparently in 2008 Moebius reissued them. I got them for myself this Christmas. They really feel like the first storybook mini comics and remind me a lot of the original Castle. They are quite awesome: Hope you like!

BP VFC holds open house prior to elections
The Kawowski family watched in awe recently as members of the Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Company fought a house fire in their neighborhood.
"It was really amazing," said Melissa Kawowski. "We got to see how they reacted. It was very reassuring."
Kawowski and her daughters were among the many residents who attended an open house on May 19 at the company's main station on Brightwood Road.
The event included displays of the company's rescue vehicles and equipment, as well as hands on demonstrations of fire safety. Children got to test their skills at using a real fire hose to put out a mock fire and were taught to escape from a burning house. There were also drills teaching skills such as "stop, drop and roll" and how to crawl on the floor when escaping a smoke filled home. In addition, firefighters demonstrated how they used specialized tools to rescue victim of vehicle accidents.
The members of the all-volunteer company also used the event to show residents the plans for a new fire station and to ask them to vote yes on a referendum, which will appear on the May 21 primary election ballot.
On Feb. 11 Bethel Park Council voted to place the referendum question, which would change the home rule charter to enact a tax for the purpose of constructing a new fire station and to fund the annual operating costs of the 85-year-old fire company.
The proposed tax would mean residents would pay $34 for every $100,000 in property value for the tax. The average house value in Bethel Park is estimated to be $142,000, according to Allegheny County assessments.
Fire company members have said that donations have fallen of so drastically that they can no long afford to operate the company on their own.
Council, the majority of whom have pledged their support of the fire company, said they put the referendum on the ballot so that the question would be up to the voters. In addition, changing the home rule charter means that the tax can not be changed without another referendum.
A dedicated fire tax would cost the voters much less than having to fund a paid company, the volunteers have said.
Many of those attending the open house said they had no idea that the fire company was in such dire straits or that the referendum would be on the ballot.
"I don't know why," said Councilwoman Lorrie Gibbons. "We have been talking about it at every meeting."
Those learning about the referendum for the first time said they sympathized with the fire company's plight and that they saw a need to enact the tax.
"I think you have to do that to do what has to be done," said Laura Lubawy, who was at the open house with her young son. "Donations are down unfortunately."
Firefighters said they intend to be stationed at polling places tomorrow to answer voter's questions.
"I hope they remember (the fire company) when they get into that election booth," said Jimmy Vehar, a life member of the fire company.

Having already lost unrestricted free agent Ryan Mundy to the New York Giants earlier this month, the Steelers' depth at safety suffered another blow Wednesday when veteran Will Allen agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
The loss leaves the Steelers with only a pair of untested players, Robert Golden and Damon Cromartie-Smith, behind starters Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark.
Meanwhile, the Steelers will host their first veteran free agent in two weeks when former Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw visits today.
Bradshaw, who rushed for 1,015 yards last season with a 4.6-yard average per carry in 14 games last season, was released by the Giants prior to the start of the free agency period in a salary cap-related move.
The Giants had signed Bradshaw, a seventh-round pick out of Marshall in 2007, to a four-year, $18-million contract in 2010. But he has suffered through foot problems, including having a screw inserted in his broken right foot at the conclusion of last season.
The surgery required 10 weeks to heal and the 27-year-old Bradshaw only recently was able to stop using a walking boot.
A two-time 1,000-yard rusher, Bradshaw also is an accomplished receiver, setting a career high in 2010 with 47 catches out of the backfield. He has 4,232 career rushing yards and 32 touchdowns.
Bradshaw, who also is drawing interest from the Jets, Giants and Packers, will be the second veteran running back the Steelers have hosted since the free agent period began three weeks ago. They brought in former Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells.
Pittsburgh is in the market for a running back after losing 2008 first-round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall in free agency. Mendenhall signed with Arizona.
Jonathan Dwyer led the Steelers with 623 yards rushing on 156 carries last season. It was the fewest yards to lead the team since Merril Hoge had 610 yards rushing in 1991.
Allen started seven games in place of an injured Polamalu in 2012, recording 34 tackles and making three pass defenses. The 10-year veteran had played mostly special teams in his first two seasons with the Steelers after signing as a free agent from Tampa Bay.

The former chief of an Allegheny County police department who died after being taken into police custody following an incident in December at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino died of natural causes.
Darryll L. Briston, 49, of North Braddock, had cardiovascular disease, announced Washington County Coroner Tim Warco and District Attorney Eugene Vittone during a news conference Thursday. Warco ruled he died of natural causes.
Briston, the former Rankin police chief, died after police arrested him and used a Taser on him.
Warco said Briston was at the casino about 10:30 p.m. Dec. 15 when he saw his ex-wife and her male companion. There was a confrontation with Briston punching the other man in the face.
Casino security called for assistance from state and North Strabane Township police. Warco said Briston took off, running about a quarter-mile before he was apprehended.
Briston resisted attempts to be taken into custody and was told by a police a Taser would be used if he failed to comply, Warco said. He continued to resist and a Taser was applied to his upper leg for two seconds, Warco said.
After he was taken into custody, Briston started to complain about the handcuffs being too tight.
"Then he started experiencing difficulty breathing," Warco said. "Police immediately called Canonsburg Ambulance, who arrived and started treatment. He went into cardiac arrest and was taken to Canonsburg General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead."
Warco said just 24 minutes lapsed between the initial call at the casino and Briston's death.
Vittone said his office wanted to investigate the incident, from interviewing witnesses to reviewing 911 tapes as well as the postmortem report.
The Taser played no role in his death, Warco said. Vittone said the Taser, which was applied by a trooper assigned to the casino, was used in accordance with state police policies and procedures.

Butterfly Bandits searching for a cure
When Christine Sypien finally had surgery in 2009, it was the first time in 14 years she could breathe a sigh of relief.
That's how long she had suffered with one symptom or another, including hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, a dramatic weight loss, a 50-pound weight gain, hair loss and a puffy face that doctors attributed to stress.
"I could feel water in my face," she said.
Still, doctors were skeptical it was anything other than stress. After all, a biopsy performed on a nodule growing on the left side of her neck was negative.
So, the 57-year-old Scott Township woman was prescribed Prozac and encouraged to see a psychologist to help her deal with the physical changes occurring throughout her body.
It wasn't until surgery to remove the growth in her neck on Aug. 20, 2009, that Sypien was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Fourteen days later, she underwent a second surgery.
"When I was diagnosed, I had never heard of thyroid cancer," said Sypien, who began educating herself about the disease soon after she began to feel better.
In 2012, she founded the Butterfly Bandits, a support group that raises awareness and promotes research for thyroid cancer and thyroid disease. She aptly named the group because the thyroid gland resembles a butterfly.
"Nobody detected it all that time," said Sypien, who is being treated by her 10th endocrinologist. "That's why I have my group. I don't want this to happen to other people."
On Sept. 15, the Butterfly Bandits will hold Tailgate and Cheer for a Cure in Pittsburgh. The tailgate will begin at 10 a.m. at Bettis' Grille 36 on North Shore Drive. Entertainment will be provided by the band LocaL, which has written a song about thyroid cancer, using Sypien as its inspiration. Donations are welcome. There also will be a butterfly release to symbolize healing.
Following the tailgate, the Pirates will host Thyroid Cancer Awareness Day at PNC Park when they play the Chicago Cubs at 1:35 p.m. Money raised from the two events will benefit the UPCI Multidisciplinary Thyroid Cancer Research Center in Pittsburgh.
Sypien said her first biopsy showed she had thyroiditis, "but nobody treated me." It was caused by Hashimoto's disease, a disorder in which the immune system begins attacking the thyroid. The thyroid is a small gland at the base of the neck, below the Adam's apple, that produces hormones that coordinate many of the body's functions. The disease, Sypien said, destroyed her thyroid.
Since Sypien had no diagnosis prior to her first surgery, her insurance company refused to approve the procedure, considering it cosmetic. But Sypien opted for the surgery anyway because of the hoarseness in her voice and her inability to swallow.
It's a good thing she did.
"There are so many people with thyroid cancer … and it can move anywhere. People have it in their brain, lungs and liver," she said. "You just don't hear anything about it."
Treatment protocol following surgery involves radioactive iodine that requires patients to be isolated because of the gamma radiation throughout their body. Sypien already has had one treatment, and she should receive her second treatment at the five-year mark, although her endocrinologist would like to move it up.
"Physically I feel good, but only because I self-treat myself. I go to a natural healing doctor," she said. "I am a cancer survivor."
For more information about the Butterfly Bandits or to R.S.V.P. for the tailgate, call Sypien at 412-901-1469.

The owner of the struggling Washington Wild Things Frontier League baseball team has filed a lawsuit in Washington County Court appealing the refusal of the county's tax assessment appeals board to lower the real estate taxes the business must pay on its ballpark in North Franklin Township.The appeal follows the June 29 ruling by the tax assessment board to keep the property value for Consol Energy Park set at $2.7 million, which would require WashCo Ballpark Management of Pittsburgh to pay $97,817 in property taxes a year, county records show.The ballpark, whose majority owner is Stuart A. Williams, claims in the lawsuit that the assessed value of the property at 1 Washington Federal Way is "excessive, improper, unjust and contrary to law," the record indicates.Williams' investment group purchased the ballpark last year from a nonprofit organization that built it in 2002, a move that put the property on the tax rolls for the first time.In the lawsuit filed by Pittsburgh attorney Jarrod J. Duffy, the organization claims the assessed value of the property of $684,518 lacks uniformity, and is discriminatory, unconstitutional, based on improper methods and set using math errors, the record shows. Duffy could not be reached Friday.The lawsuit isn't the only battle the team is waging over taxes.Williams also opposes a decision last week by North Franklin Township supervisors to assess a 5 percent amusement tax on tickets sold for games and events at the ballpark, a fee that doesn't apply to other entertainment-themed businesses in the area."It does not make sense to target one business in the community," Williams said last week. "That does not seem to be business welcoming."Williams said he was offended that supervisors remarked at their Oct. 17 meeting that the ballpark hadn't paid the township the expected $38,000 payment in lieu of property taxes under a prior agreement.Williams said he had met earlier this year with North Franklin's solicitor, Dennis Makel, and board Chairman James Huff and they all agreed to let the $38,000 payment stand and shelve an amusement tax.Williams said he would have made the payment had North Franklin signed the agreement following the meeting.Makel and Huff did not return calls seeking comment. Supervisor Dennis Dydiw abstained from voting.The other supervisor, Silvio Passalacqua, said he was not aware of the meeting with Williams, and that he wanted to make an effort to erase the amusement tax after scheduling another meeting with Williams."The Wild Things are having a little bit of a struggle," Passalacqua said Thursday, pointing to lagging ticket sales to Wild Things games.Under the current county tax assessment, the ballpark is due to pay the township $10,267 in taxes a year. The township is beginning to experience some financial stress and is seeking advice on how to curtail spending from the state Department of Community and Economic Development. A DCED representative is expected to make a presentation at the next supervisors' meeting Dec. 19.The amusement tax is expected to raise more than $38,000, money the township has always donated to the local fire department.Williams said his "gut reaction is not to pick up my marbles and leave.""I have always said that the team is going to be there as long as the community wants it to be there," he said. "The township is sending a negative message."

Rokkon and Stonedar are vintage MotU male characters (that's three "pluses"), whereas Granita is an unreleased PoP cartoon female character (that's four big "minuses" according to the most prevailing biases). If released on her own, she would be an "easy pass" for all the vintage-only MotU-only males-only crowd (and, on top of that, they would loudly complain about the "waste" of a slot). The only real opportunity to see her released was in a pack together with the "main" Comet Warriors. But that possibility has now vanished for her (not to mention for Facet or Quartzina).
The execution of the revealed Rokkon and Stonedar certainly seems unexpectedly good (I wasn't expecting in the least that they would be able to fold into rocks like the vintage figures did, given Mattel's current corner-cutting practices and, especially, what they did, or rather didn't do, with Jewelstar). I'm glad about that and that at least we'll be getting those two.
But I can't hide I was profoundly disappointed the moment I saw the reveal, because a Rokkon+Stonedar 2-pack clearly means no other Comet Warrior will be released in MotUC. The only way for Granita, Facet and/or Quartzina to see the light of day was as companions to either Rokkon, Stonedar or both (say, a 3-pack of Rokkon+Stonedar+Granita, or two 2-packs of Rokkon+Quartzina and Stonedar+Granita, or one epic, super-special 5-pack of Rokkon+Stonedar+Granita+Facet+Quartzina).
There's zero (or at the most infinitesimal) chance the females will ever make it on their own. Even the Meteorbs stand a better chance of being released now (since they're vintage MotU, after all) than any of the Comet females (and the gloomy prospect is especially dire for Facet, given that her being an adolescent, rather than an adult, adds as fifth "minus" to the long list of no-noes, even though a newly-tooled teenage-sized female buck could in theory be reused for 200X Teela and NA Drissi).

TUCSON, Ariz. – Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday on his injured right thumb and is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks.
The Dodgers said Thursday that an MRI indicated that a ligament in Ramirez's thumb was torn.
Ramirez suffered the injury Tuesday night while playing for the Dominican Republic in its victory over Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic championship game in San Francisco.
Ramirez was at third base when he suffered the injury. The Dodgers moved him to shortstop, his original position, after obtaining him from the Miami Marlins on July 25.
Dr. Steve Shin, a sports-medicine hand specialist, is scheduled to perform the surgery in Los Angeles.
The Dodgers were in Tucson, Ariz., on Thursday for a spring training game against the Chicago Cubs.
Jeter to play on in minor league games: New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says shortstop Derek Jeter will play only in minor league spring training games for the rest of spring training.
The move could cut short how much time Jeter would miss if he starts the season on the 15-day disabled list. By not playing in major league exhibitions, the Yankees want to be able to adjust Jeter's start time on the DL if that's necessary.
"I think we need the ability to preserve to back date him in the event that's he not going make it," Cashman said.
Jeter missed his third straight exhibition game Thursday because of inflammation in his surgically repaired left ankle. He expects to resume baseball activities on Friday.

text: Why can't WB run two DC animated productions side by side anymore??? It seems they are always canceling one successful series in order to introduce a different one. Well, I suppose one plus will be that Batman is supposed to play a big part in Young Justice, but Brave and the Bold is good enough to stay on the air along with another series.

Christine Yankel isn't crazy about roundabouts. Yet her gripe with the proposed double roundabout at the intersection of Route 519 and Brownlee Road in North Strabane Township has more to do with the community's future than personal preference.
"Where are we moving as a community? Are we moving from a rural community to a suburban community?" she asked. "… I did move to Eighty Four for the rural community, to have more land, to have more space for my children."
Yankel is one of several township residents who raised questions regarding PennDOT's proposed double roundabout plan during a public forum at the township municipal building Thursday. PennDOT displayed maps and a simulated video of how traffic would navigate the roundabouts.
The double roundabout is PennDOT's proposed solution to a number of vehicle accidents that have plagued the intersection for years. Instead of facing a stop sign or traffic light, drivers would only need to yield when entering the roundabouts, which would be separated by a 500-foot stretch of road.
Yankel, who lives on Brownlee Road, said the double roundabouts will bring a higher volume of traffic. She thinks a traffic light and roadside mirror would be a more practical solution to reduce car crashes. Formerly of North Carolina, Yankel said locals drivers will likely have a difficult time adjusting to navigating a new roundabout.
"More than likely, people will get stuck in that center lane as I did when I first moved to North Carolina," she said. "I literally went around and around that center lane trying to figure out how to merge with the traffic that's in the outside lane."
According to the proposed plan,the speed limit would decelerate as drivers approach the roundabout, and the speed limit inside the roundabout would be 20 miles per hour.
Tammy Dunn, who has lived on Route 519 for over 20 years, is concerned that the drivers who currently speed through the intersection will continue to do so even when there is a roundabout. Dunn is also concerned that construction will devalue her property.
"They're coming right up to our front door basically," she said. "We have about six to eight pine trees that basically give us refuge from 519, but they're going to take those out."
Pam Kelly, who lives on 519, offered a more optimistic opinion of the roundabout plan.
"I think it will work once people figure out how to drive through it, once they know what they're supposed to do and if they follow the speed limit," Kelly said.
Each roundabout would have two lanes going in each direction, and drivers inside the roundabout would have the right of way.
James Sisul, project manager at the PennDOT District 12 office in Uniontown, said they are still working on securing rights of way for the project, which is estimated to cost between $3 million and $5 million. He described these as "partial takes" and said PennDOT negotiating with 13 claimants who live on the edges of the site plan. PennDOT purchased and now owns one rental property that currently lies in the middle of the first proposed roundabout.
According to PennDOT's projected timeline, construction of the first roundabout is set to begin in summer or fall 2014, and construction on the second roundabout will begin in spring 2015. The entire project is expected to be completed by fall 2015.

The Bundaberg River went through Shirley and Raymond's Queensland home at more than 70km/hr in January 2013. Raymond and Shirley had to evacuate and Red Cross volunteers were there to help.
One year after ex cyclone Oswald caused devastation in Queensland in January 2013, Red Cross is still there as people rebuild their lives.
For some, the impact was even more devastating as they were still recovering from destructive floods in 2010/11.
Recovering from a major disaster like the Queensland floods can be a long, complex and emotional journey. Experiencing the anniversary of an emergency can be stressful. Anniversaries are often a time for reflection on how life has changed, which can cause feelings of guilt, sadness or regret.
Red Cross worked closely with local councils and communities to determine what was needed to help them recover.
In the past 12 months, Red Cross staff and volunteers have provided support to more than 37,900 people in 19 recovery centres across Queensland. The centres have since closed.
Twelve trained staff and volunteers visited 480 homes in the flood affected areas of Banana Shire, Boyne Valley, Central Highlands, Dawson and Monto to check that people are ok and to provide personal support, recovery tips and information on recovery assistance available from government and partner agencies.
Dedicated volunteers also provided recovery information and support at local community events. .
To support ongoing Red Cross work to help people prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies, donate at any time to our Disaster Relief and Recovery work.
Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
More than 620 Red Cross trained staff and volunteers provided a safe place to stay and personal support to more than 3,000 people in 22 evacuation centres along the Queensland coast, including at Bundaberg, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Darling Downs, Lockyer Valley. These centres have since closed.
During the flood crisis, Red Cross ran the National Registration and Inquiry System to assist more than 4,300 people affected by the disaster to reunite with their friends and family.
Red Cross in partnership with the Queensland government established the Queensland Floods Appeal 2013 to provide assistance to individuals, families and communities directly affected by the floods, tornados and storm damage.
The Queensland Floods Appeal 2013 closed 2 June 2013, after the Australian public generously donated to the Appeal.
Australian Red Cross can no longer accept donations to the Queensland Floods Appeal 2013.
Organisers of fundraising events, those who have collected donations but not banked and those who have pledged but not yet made donations have until 30 June 2013 to send collected money to Red Cross or inform Red Cross when the outstanding funds will be received.
Funds raised through the Queensland Floods Appeal 2013 will be used to assist individuals, families and communities directly affected by the Queensland floods in January 2013.
The Queensland Government appointed an independent Queensland Floods Appeal Distribution Committee, with representatives from government, local communities and Red Cross.
The independent committee's key responsibility is to oversee the distribution of public donations made to the Queensland Floods Appeal 2013.
Funds raised are being distributed through an independent Queensland Floods Appeal Distribution Committee.
If you have any questions or require further assistance you can contact the dedicated hotline set up by the Distribution Committee on 1800 901 933.
Australian Red Cross will not deduct any funds from public donations for appeal or administration costs.
Every cent raised by the Queensland Floods Appeal 2013 will go to help individuals, families and communities affected.
Should the funds raised exceed the amount required, Australian Red Cross will use any excess funds to assist in future disasters in Australia. All interest earned on donations will be invested back into the Appeal.
To support ongoing Red Cross work to help people prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies, donate at any time to our Disaster Relief and Recovery work

Leave it to Honey Boo Boo to redneckognize an opportunity for a big ole' party!
The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star celebrated her 8th birthday in Panama Beach, Florida, on Sunday, September 1, with a Hello Kitty-themed pool party and hundreds of guests.
The reality TV tot and her family stayed at the Holiday Inn Hotel, which boasts 400 rooms, and invited all of the hotel's guests to come on down to the pool and celebrate the pageant princess's big day. Mama June, Sugar Bear, Uncle Poodle, and Pumpkin, were also on hand to join in on the fun.
The family reportedly sent a flyer to hotel guests to notify them of the bash, which read, "You are invited to come down to the pool from 6-8pm to celebrate Alana (Honey Boo Boo)'s 8th birthday! Come down and hang out with the family and have some cake and go swimming! Hope to see you there!!!! Alana."
Omg! reached out to the Holiday Inn Hotel in Panama Beach for a comment, but hotel staffers were unable to divulge details about the festivities.
Honey Boo Boo hit the pool in a pink and leopard print bikini and was all smiles as she posed for pics with her fans. Later, the precocious TLC star blew out the candles on one of her three Hello-Kitty decorated cakes. All three confections had "Happy Birthday Alana" written on them.
While the cakes certainly looked gorgeous, they didn't stay on everyone's plates. Sugar Bear and Mama June ended up getting into a food fight and smearing cake on one another's faces.
Hey ya'll, would it be a real Honey Boo Boo-approved party if there wasn't a little craziness?

I´m trying out some new stuff and new possibilities and what´s the best way to go the distant.
Right a challenge and so i was challenging myself and my possibilties with:
I didn´t change much on her only added a few things as i think she has a very clear look.
More or less a blue vampire lady with a very tiny waist!
Her hair gave me some trouble but i´m okay with what i came up for her, not perfect but hey, i´m no pro
Her face was difficult. Dark eyes don´t have much expression but i added some reflection and that helped. I enlarged her head piece a bit and changed her cape at the shoulders but the rest is very much as it is on her original (and only) appearance.

Same thing here, and I live in the Netherlands...it always took long, but never this long.....
I ordered Egon and He-Ro from mattey collector over a month ago and i still haven't received them. I also purchased tri-clops and he isn't here either ... and we are coming upon the 15th again when webstor is available and i don't even have my aug. figures yet.
And to top it off, there is no way to track them, that I can see anyways, because if i use the "findmyorder.com" thing they tell you in the confirmation e-mail you get, it wants your order # ... so i type it in, it then goes OH YA! Here it is! and it shows you a copy of the e-mail I JUST USED to get the information the website wanted .... it's a crazy logic loop.
Am i the only one in this position? Am i freaking out early? .... should i just have patience?
im not one to freak out .. but i cant track my package, i dont have my figures yet when i normally do by now, and i've dropped a decent amount of money on them ... anyone else worried?
sorry if this has already been posted somewhere ....
Religion = The Horde
Atheism = The Great Rebellion
Same thing here, and I live in the Netherlands...it always took long, but never this long.....
You do not have to worry!
Since I cannot order motuc to Serbia (matty simply doesn't want to ship here, or digitalriver, whoever it is same for me)I have to order them to my friends all around globe.
When ordered Mer-Man back in april to my friend in Toronto he was traveling more than month and a half. It has arrived around 5th of june!
So eventually you will get the figures, plus you will have to pay approx 7 cad per figure as tax, or something else.
I'm in Ottawa Canada and received my He-ro on Monday. What part of Canada do you live in? My guess is it's held up in customes cause you bought 2 figures.
Ironmans Want List:
MOTUC: I want them all!!!!!!
Classic Line: Battle Ram, Wind Raider, Tower Tools, Eternia, Laser Power He-man, Laser Light Skeletor, Tytus and Megator.
Stuff always takes at least a month to get to me, so I'm used to it by now.
Not happy about it, but used to it.
Im from Japan and im keep waiting for my Try-Klops having the ship confirmation on 20. at the moment it's taking 14 days (T_T)
how they ship it ? way it's take so loooong time to arrive?
to people in other countries...
you guys should really find a way to hook up with a US California person... it would be so much less stressful to order and then get the figures because we could use USPS...(you can track a customs form)
I would be willing to try it out.. if people were interested... for a slight fee...I get mine about 3-4 days after I order..
To be honest, I've waited up to 6 weeks for a couple of fiugres, but usually it takes about 4. There is nothing to worry about, they send it ground International, takes a long time but they'll get there.
It usually takes me over a month to get figures from matty. I got my He-Ro yesterday. I live in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
You can read more about this here:
It's been getting worse for every figure throughout the year. I've gone with UPS since Hordak.
I began using UPS because the figures were taking up to 4 weeks to arrive, and often the customs charges brought the cost close to what it would cost to ship with UPS.
UPS can be expensive, I pay about the cost of a figure and then some change every month. Bonus figures will be hellish, and I'm only going to use UPS for a few figures in 2010.
I tried to buy the subscription with UPS, but it wouldn't let me, but I think that's better because I can just use UPS if I want to rush a bonus figure.
I wouldn't blame Matty for this. They are offering you the cheap shipping, but it's First Class Mail International and that cannot be tracked. The Canadian postal service is very slow according to what I have been told by USPS.
I know it's frustrating for international collectors to have to either pay very high shipping costs or to wait quite a few weeks for delivery with no tracking. Unfortunately Mattel is just passing along the shipping options that are available to them.
I wouldnt worry. The international Post option is painfully slow for us Canadian's. The figure tended to show up the day after I ordered the next one. I did the math for Customs andShipping and its only a couple dollars more to use UPS in the future. Frankly, do what I did and skip a couple Tim's and go for the UPS shipping.
Org-ers Ive dealth with:
Big Country - traded MOTUC He-man MOC for MOTUC Merman MOC
I live in Edmonton and it ALWAYS takes a month and a few days. Today is exactly a month,I expect my He Ro`s to arrive in the next day or 2. Is this your first order?

While UPS will get the figures to you a lot faster for a slightly smaller fee (depending how many figures you order, once you pass 5 or 6 the fee almost doubles), you are guaranteed to pay a brokerage fee when UPS delivers the good to you. Through Canada Post there is a chance you wont have to pay any extra at all. I have gotten Canada Post shipping on all figures so far and only paid customs fees once.
By the time you factor in the extra money for UPS, and the extra you pay in Brokerage fees or customs fees or whatever name they slap on it, you are paying considerably more for your figures.
To me its worth it to just wait it out. I don't need these figures at all, so it doesn't really alter my life to have them slightly later. The only affect they have on my life is the money spent, so the less the better.
I have never had a problem or delay when using Canada post. Not to say that others don't, but in the Ontario/Quebec region I've never had trouble. With USPS...that's another story. They like to pass the buck sometimes and I've caught them doing it.
Customs doesn't help, but nothing I've ever ordered from out of country has ever taken more than 2 weeks to get to me.
But really, this is not any of their faults, it's Digital River or Matty or whoever.

For me it usually takes 21 days to get figures. Only a couple times has this been the exception. I never use UPS either, in my experience it's been UPS that slows the shipment way down and has take over 2 months in the past as things seem to get stuck in customs far more.
I've had far better luck using USPS where packages take at most, 21 days to arrive, but usually only 10 business days, though He-Ro was an exremely rare case, I got him just 2 days later!
Where you from Jake. In Edmonton it seems to take almost exactly 1 month. Some time ill get the figures 1-2 days before the next goes on sale. Feels like forever ago that I ordered HeRo and Egon.

WAYNESBURG – A Rogersville woman who spoke out against illegal drugs following the death of her son by a heroin overdose and who was later charged with illegally procuring prescription medicine was entered Monday into the accelerated disposition program.
Nancy D. Horr, 47, was entered into the program for first-time offenders before Greene County Judge William Nalitz.
Those entered into the program must serve a period of probation and pay all fines and costs. Those who successfully complete the program, can petition the court to have their criminal record expunged.
Horr was charged in October with seven counts of procuring drugs by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or subterfuge and one count each of criminal attempt to commit acquisition and possession of a controlled substance. All are misdemeanors.
State police alleged Horr fraudulently obtained and filled seven prescriptions for Ativan, a controlled substance used to relieve anxiety, between Feb. 4 and Nov. 9, 2011.
The prescriptions were called into the Giant Eagle Pharmacy by a friend of Horr, Rebecca Louise Raber, 47, of Waynesburg, who worked as a medical assistant at Waynesburg Family Medicine, police said.
Raber was charged with seven counts of criminal solicitation to commit acquisition and one count of criminal conspiracy to commit acquisition, all felonies; and seven counts of procuring for herself or another drugs by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or subterfuge, all misdemeanors. Her case has not yet been adjudicated.
Police said they began investigating Horr after a Giant Eagle pharmacist received a voice mail message on Nov. 9, 2011, of a telephone call-in prescription of Ativan for Horr from Waynesburg Family Medicine.
The pharmacist called the doctor's office and was informed Horr was not a patient at that practice, according to the criminal complaint.
Pharmacy records indicated all eight prescriptions for the drug that had been called in to the pharmacy for Horr came from Raber at Waynesburg Family Medicine, police said.
In an interview with police, Horr said she believed the prescriptions were issued under the authorization of Dr. Rachel Schroer, who worked at Waynesburg Family Medicine. She told police Raber had made the arrangements and called in the prescriptions to Giant Eagle. She admitted never having been a patient of any doctor at Waynesburg Family Medicine.
Police also obtained prescription records for Horr at Cornerstone Care in Rogersville, where she was a patient. Police said the records made no mention of Ativan being prescribed to her.
Horr also had not provided information regarding the prescription for Ativan to her primary care physician. Her primary care physician had, however, written a prescription for Horr for Xanax, another drug used to treat anxiety, police said.

A Washington man was caught Friday night by Washington police as he tried to pry open an automated teller machine outside First Niagara Bank.
David James Lewis, 23, of 55 W. Katherine Ave., not only is accused of trying to break open the machine outside the bank at 200 W. Beau St., but he also allegedly broke into machines at Maiden Street Car Wash, 236 E. Maiden St.
Police were called about 7:45 p.m. for a report of a person dressed all in black holding a crowbar at the bank's ATM. When police arrived, they saw a man kneeling in front of the machine. When the thief, later identified as Lewis, saw police he fled on foot.
Lewis ran in the direction of Jollick Manor. Police took him into custody after he fell and they used a Taser.
A large Gerber knife was found in some bushes a few feet away from the ATM. No money was stolen but the machine was heavily damaged.
While at the station, police received a call from the owner of the car wash. He told police that three coin machines and an ATM were entered, but no cash was stolen.
Lewis was arraigned before District Judge Gary Havelka on two counts of attempted theft and criminal mischief as well as having a prohibited offensive weapon and possessing instrument of a crime. He was placed in Washington County Jail on $15,000 bond.

One of these years, I am going to rock the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta. I am going to hit the tastings, the luncheons, the tours—you name it and I will be there, and whatever is being served will be in my mouth. Except for the golf tournament. I will not go to the golf tournament and I will not put anything from the golf tournament into my mouth.
In the meantime, there are only excuses. This was not the year to hit up my editor for multiple $60-$175 tickets and, presumably, wine festivals are reluctant to give press passes to well-known lushes.
Fortunately, the fiesta has grown big enough in its long existence (2010 will mark its 20th anniversary) to spawn proximity events, like the "Harvest Wine Dinner" I attended at Joe's.
Joe's used to be called Joe's Diner. Chef Roland Richter has, for years, been an enthusiastic buyer of local ingredients, all the while maintaining a large and reliable menu at his unintimidating Southside restaurant. I don't know if dropping the "diner" designation is intended to also drop pedestrian implications, but Richter's wine dinner demonstrated he's comfortable cooking far beyond the reach of pizza and burgers.
Hors d'oeuvres were followed with an eggplant, pear and honey soup. I thought, "I don't care if it is all local—how about I start kicking the chef until he makes me a pizza?"
But a hint of mesquite—from grilling the eggplant—added a perfect note to the soup's flavor while tempering the texture.
The soup was paired with a Milagro Vineyards chardonnay—not the soft, "buttery" chardonnay that has crippled wine innovation with its popularity—but a slightly bitter chardonnay with a cruel little snap. It was a chardonnay with unexpected attitude, especially from a New Mexico vintner.
An honest aside: The prospect of a fine meal prepared with local produce, dairy, meat, vegetables and fruits is always titillating because the flavor is going to be outstanding, but the prospect of that fine meal paired with local wine is always depressing because the flavor is going to fall short. I expected to be secretly pairing my meal with…water. But the wines, all of which were provided by the small, Corrales-based Milagro, were a genuine surprise.
I didn't taste anything that will be etched on my palette until the end of time or anything, but Milagro's blended red table wine, in particular, will be doing a regular turn at my house from now on. Retailing at $14, it's the best balance of value and flavor I've yet found in a New Mexico wine. Served with fresh tomatoes from Española and Richter's famed fiore di latte mozzarella, it was a plucky salute to the official transition from summer to fall.
For the main course, Richter happily piled a beef tenderloin atop a medley of vegetables. On top of the tenderloin, he piled a rack of lamb. Lamb! On top of beef! I seriously considered kissing him on the mouth.
Milagro supplied its 2006 cabernet sauvignon—an entirely serviceable wine with a determined presence, though if it had been up to me, I'd have stuck with the table wine's charming insouciance.
The meats were both perfectly prepared: The lamb slipped away from the bone, and the beef was soft and flavorful beneath a respectable char.
By serving a crepe as dessert, Richter brought us down slowly, a zinfandel reduction sauce helping the leap from meat to sugar.
I may not have hobnobbed with the wine and chile elite this year, but I managed to discover there's more than meets the eye at a modest restaurant like Joe's, and that two people in Corrales really can make wine.
And nobody tried to make me play golf.
One of these years, I am going to rock the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta. I am going to hit the tastings, the luncheons, the tours—you name it and I will be there, and whatever is being served will be in my mouth. Except for the golf tournament. I will not go to the golf tournament and I will not put anything from the golf tournament into my mouth.

Marcellus Shale natural gas processor and distributor MarkWest filed a $1.1 million product liability suit Monday in Washington County Court over a fire more than a year ago at its facility near Avella in Independence Township.
Plaintiffs are MarkWest Liberty Midstream and Resources LLC, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business of 800 Western Ave., Houston, and MarkWest Energy Partners LP of Denver, Colo.
Named as the defendant in the suit is Enerflex Energy Systems Inc. of Houston, Texas, which designs, sells and supplies three-stage gas compressor packages. Enerflex has offices in Waynesburg, Greene County, and Mars, Butler County.
Specifically, MarkWest is seeking $1,160,277, plus court costs and "related business damages" because of the fire that broke out Oct. 13, 2011, at the drying and compressing station, resulting in, according to the suit, "extensive damage to the compressor package engine, accessories, piping and three-stage discharge bottle."
MarkWest claims the blaze spread beyond the compressor package to the building housing it, and said in the suit the fire was caused by a crack in a threaded nipple that was attached to a pressure-relief valve.
"The use of components on the three-stage gas compressor package was defective in design, manufacture, fabrication and assembly when it left Enerflex's control," the suit said, claiming it had only half the capacity it should have had to withstand gas pressure, vibrations and other stresses.
The natural gas midstream firm also claimed Enerflex was negligent because the nipple was improperly installed, tested and commissioned in that it was overly tightened, failing to comply with codes and standards.
Enerflex did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on the suit Monday afternoon.
News reports at the time said firefighters from West Middletown, Avella, Mt. Pleasant and Canton townships, plus Franklin, W.Va., responded to the compressor units on the John Dryer farm.
No injuries were reported.
A state police fire marshal estimated the blaze did $450,000 in damage to a one-story steel structure that was valued at $4.5 million.

Consular services
Certification and Authentication of documents
Sometimes, even when abroad, Germans and foreigners may need to have documents certified or signatures or manual signs, transcripts or copies authenticated. Local notaries and authorities are not always able to be of assistance if the document in question is required in Germany. moreCertification and Authentication of documents
International marriages
Distances are diminishing as ever more networks span the globe. As globalization progresses, modern means of transport and communications technologies are bringing people closer together, a fact which is also reflected in the growing number of "international" marriages. moreInternational marriages
Abduction of children
The Foreign Office and the German missions abroad (embassies and consulates-general) are often asked for help when children are abducted across borders. The majority of such cases occur in the context of binational marriages or partnerships; when the relationship fails or after divorce the foreign father or mother takes one or more of their common children to his/her home country against the will of the German parent. moreAbduction of children
International Recognition / Legalization of Documents
Documents are often only recognized by the authorities of another state if their authenticity and evidentiary value has been determined by a special procedure. But even formally authentic foreign documents have on occasion been discovered to contain inaccurate information. It must therefore be confirmed in the process of international recognition that documents that are to be used abroad were both issued from the responsible agency and are factually correct. moreInternational Recognition / Legalization of Documents

By Jon Frosch
Do the Oscars seem anticlimactic this year? Who cares about industry insiders voting for their BFFs while we're still nursing inauguration hangovers? At a time when culture seems farther away than ever from American preoccupations, any enthusiasm about film—no matter how vacuous—is welcome. If little else, the Oscar circus lets us talk about the movies we loved, bash the lame Academy and ignore the bleaker realities of the world.
Best Supporting Actor
With his hunched shoulders, smeared sad-clown mouth and a scratchy voice full of creepy inflections, Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight is more than a brilliant method stunt. It's a wild, imaginative, shape-shifting creation that becomes something human and terrifying: a study in sadism fed by suffering.
Best Supporting Actress
This category would be stronger with the year's best supporting actresses in it: Rosemarie DeWitt, effortlessly convincing as the less turbulent sister in Rachel Getting Married, and Hafsia Herzi's tour de force of naturalistic acting as a French-Arab teen in The Secret of the Grain. Oh well. I'll take Marisa Tomei, who, in The Wrestler, coaxes a complex human being out of the potentially cliché-riddled role of stripper with a heart of gold.
Best Actor
The male performance that messed me up most was Mickey Rourke's in The Wrestler. Randy "The Ram" is a perma-tanned, bleached-blonde slab of muscle with a face half-melted from too many slams on the mat, and with worse wounds on the inside. The character is a sentimental creation—the gentle monster. But as Randy reaches out to the world outside the ring, Rourke builds an almost excruciatingly lived-in portrait of regret and self-loathing. We feel like we're witnessing a spiritual meeting of actor and role.
Best Actress
Anne Hathaway gave the year's most soulful female performance as a rehab queen on furlough in Rachel Getting Married. Armed with bangs and sullen eye makeup, cigarettes and hyper-articulate barbs, the character could have been unbearable. But Hathaway invests the role with such compassion that we never forget that Kym's most loathsome tendencies stem from her yearning to reconnect with her family. It's a performance so alive you hang on every word, and one of the most cathartic, clear-sighted interpretations of emotional neediness ever put on screen.
Best Director
The Academy showed no love for the American directors in finest form this year: Jonathan Demme, whose Dogma-style approach achieved a luminous intimacy in Rachel Getting Married; and Christopher Nolan, who, with The Dark Knight, demonstrated that superhero movies can reach for serious ideas and still be smashing good fun. Of the nominees, I pick Gus Van Sant for Milk. It's not his most aesthetically daring work, but Van Sant reworks the stale biopic formula by weaving the personal essence of the slain gay leader into a tale of political awakening.
Best Picture
It's no surprise that the two best American films of 2008, Rachel Getting Married and The Dark Knight, were snubbed; both are fully engaging pieces of work, but prickly and unsettling in different ways. As for the nominated movies, forget the over-hyped Slumdog Millionaire; root for the vibrant and moving Milk. It falls short of greatness—at times you feel like Van Sant is curbing his passion. But it's still insightful, gorgeously made stuff—and the rare biopic that understands the emotional force of a great life story is best conveyed by a telling that doesn't push too hard or preach too loudly.

Vehicle theft: Timothy Grace, 27, of Belle Vernon, was arraigned Wednesday on charges of theft and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He is accused of failing to return a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer after being lent the vehicle by William DePaoli Jr. in July. Grace was arraigned before District Judge Joshua Kanalis and placed in the Washington County jail on $25,000 bond.
Escape, flight charges: Andrew Bonus, 27, of 1292 Donnan Ave., Washington, was charged Wednesday by Canonsburg police with escape and flight to avoid apprehension stemming from a Feb. 26 incident in which he allegedly escaped out a window when Washington County probation officers tried to arrest him on a warrant. Probation officers went to an apartment at 14 E. Pike St. to serve the warrant after learning that Bonus was staying there, police said. When officers knocked, his girlfriend reportedly waited several minutes before opening the door. Bonus was not there, but was later found walking on a nearby street. Police said he admitted to jumping out the window of the apartment. The charges will be sent by summons. Bonus remains in the Washington County jail on the warrant.
Truck found: A 2011 GMC pickup truck reported stolen early Saturday from outside Trio Lounge, North Main Street, was recovered Monday at the Washington County Fairgrounds, Chartiers police said.
Escapes injury: Jonathan E. Martin, 21, of Avella escaped injury Monday morning when his vehicle slid off an icy Scenic Drive near Cardinal Lane, Independence, and hit a tree before sliding over an embankment, state police said.
Burglary reported: Gary Casper of 212 Lakeview Drive told South Strabane police Tuesday that the garage in a detached carriage house on his property was entered and items stolen from vehicles parked inside the building. Cash was stolen from one vehicle, and cash and a radar detector taken from another vehicle.
Hit by vehicle: Daniel Berdine of Avella was struck by a pickup truck while working Saturday morning at Home Depot, South Strabane police said. Berdine was unloading items from a box truck using a skid loader. He heard two men arguing and then saw them get into a green Ford F250 pickup truck. The vehicle sped off, hitting Berdine and pushing him into some landscaping items. There was no indication whether Berdine was injured.

Creating a winning CV is a feat of strategy involving focus, wording, design and content selection. To achieve a career marketing document that wins interviews, all areas of the strategy must be spot-on and consciously used in the most effective manner. One of the most common mistakes job candidates make when writing their CVs is not paying attention to strategy and word selection.
12:27pm Wednesday 8th June 2011
What should a good CV look like, and what should it contain? Start by thinking about the reason you have a CV - the reason is not to get you a job - even though that is the end result you want. The reason for a CV is to get you an interview.
12:16pm Wednesday 8th June 2011
Job seekers do themselves a disservice when they send out CVs with too much information. Employers don't have the time or the patience to sift through irrelevant, extensive and false information. Just stick to the basics and you're good to go.
10:56am Tuesday 18th January 2011
Job hunting is always hard work. You look through job ads, send out applications, go to interviews and improve your networking. And you're still not getting any offers? Take a closer look at your CV.

Hades Freezes Over: Duke Nukem Forever Makes Comeback
Jason Mick
September 4, 2010 10:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The king is back! "Duke Nukem Forever" has been revived, and is nearing release in a shocking turn of events.
(Source: Kotaku)
The demo features a quick taste of the game's combat gameplay, in which the macho-protagonist, Duke Nukem, fights to save his babes from hoards of evil extraterrestrials.
(Source: Kotaku)
The game features plenty of sexual innuendo just like its predecessors -- the demo concludes with Nukem appearing to be receiving oral pleasure from a pair of females.
(Source: Ripten)
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum."
"Hail to the king baby!", Duke Nukem is back. Some may take Friday's announcement of
Duke Nukem Forever
's resurrection as a sign of the end of times, but it's hard not to feel a bit of excitement that maybe, just maybe, this bad joke could transform into a modern first-person shooter gem.
For today's younger generation of gamers, Duke Nukem may not ring many more bells than Q*bert, but there was a time when the brash talking, hyper-masculine, buzz-cut womanizer Duke headlined one of the best selling first person shooters of its decade (
Duke Nukem 3D
By the year 2009, those who still remembered the games used them more frequently in punchlines than in praise. After all,
Duke Nukem 3D
's sequel, the ironically named
Duke Nukem Forever
, had seen an extraordinarily bizarre development lifecycle with developer 3D Realms
still without a finished title
after 12 years of development, dating back to 1997. Then in mid-2009 Take-Two Interactive, who had purchased publishing rights,
sued cash-strapped 3D Realms
, just as the company was
reportedly finishing up
the long awaited title.
The ensuing legal battle was settled with undisclosed terms in May of this year.
3D Realms retained the rights to the game. And in perhaps the wisest decision it had made concerning the seemingly cursed title, it decided to hand over the development reins to Randy Pitchford's studio Gearbox Software.
Mr. Pitchford was no Nukem newbie. He had been hired in the 1990s to help development
Duke Nukem 3D
. And while he left 3D Realms just as
Duke Nukem Forever
was kicking into full swing, Mr. Pitchford always kept a soft spot for the machismo-machine that made him a software superstar.
On Friday at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Mr. Pitchford let the cat out of the bag showing off a 15-minute live gameplay demo [
video here
] filled with sexual innuendo,
, and suitably attractive graphics. And according to Mr. Pitchford the game is nearly finished, and will launch complete with multiplayer. He states in a
recent interview
, "It's a large, large game."
If you think Mr. Pitchford might be tempted to tone the game down for today's
more sensitive audience
, think again. It looks to be headed for a solid "M" -- if it catches the ESRB folks on a generous day.
Mr. Pitchford describes the protagonist, remarking, "In Duke's world this is all real shit. These fucking aliens are here and they're fucking our planet up and they're taking our chicks. There's a reason for that, and Duke is the only guy who can stop them. In his universe, that all makes perfect sense. As a result, he is the most important person in his universe. And he knows it. He enjoys it. He franchises it! He's got Duke Burgers opened up all over the country. It's a weird universe, but it works for him. He's the king!"
But the "king" has his work cut out for him if he hopes to win back gamers. After all if there's one thing more deadly than a pack of babe-stealing aliens, it's the risk of remaining a punchline from one more delay.
Despite the risk, Mr. Pitchford is the picture of confidence and exuberance. He says he can understand if some are skeptical, but promises not to disappoint. He states, "I think everybody feels the way I felt when Duke was in trouble in 2009. Yeah, we've been jerked around. But we kind of want him to be triumphant. In Duke's time of need, we almost want to support him. And I'm feeling that kind of love."
As for Nukem, he appears to be feeling the love, too.
The demo concludes with the camera panning out to show that the whole intro experience was just a console game being played by the
Duke Nukem. And Duke has company -- a pair of females, who appear to have been giving old Nukem some oral pleasure. One of them takes a breather and looks up at him to ask, "So how was the game Duke, was it any good?"
He gruffly remarks, "Yeah, but after 12 fucking years . . . it better be."
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein
