This page includes answers to questions you may have about Loyola's Microsoft Migration Project. During the migration, we will be upgrading our operating system to Windows 7 (the 64-bit version) and upgrading our core software suite to Office 2010. We're also moving from Novell to Microsoft for some back-end network solutions, including login, file sharing, and printing services. More details about the project can be found via the menu to the right.
If you have a question that isn't covered in these pages, please email us at email@example.com.
Why is the University making these changes?
Many of Loyola's basic computer services (such as GroupWise email, network login, file sharing and printing services) are provided through solutions from Novell. These products have served our needs very well for many years. However, there is growing uncertainty over how well we are positioned to grow and manage new technology using Novell solutions due to market-share changes, compatibility issues with new technology, and the recent acquisition of Novell by Attachmate. As a result, Loyola will begin migrating some of our core Novell services to alternative platforms. The first step will be moving our desktop login, file, and print structure to Microsoft platforms.
Much of the work for this Novell-to-Microsoft migration will be behind the scenes, but the change requires us to touch every computer on campus – about 3,500 machines in all. To maximize the return on this effort, we're implementing Windows and Office software upgrades, too, to bring us up to date with the these programs.
When will lab and classroom systems be upgraded?
Labs and classrooms were upgraded in July and August 2011, prior to the start of the 2011-2012 academic year. Additional modifications were made in September to address reports of intermittent "freezing" of certain classroom machines. These facilities should now be running seamlessly; any unexpected issues can be reported via email to email@example.com.
When will my office computer be upgraded?
Faculty and staff machines will be upgraded during the fall 2011 and spring 2012 semesters, with remaining machines upgraded over the summer 2012 break. Designated departments and offices being upgraded each week. ITS will notify each department directly once specific dates are set, and we'll post the information on the Project Schedule page.
What happens to my files during the upgrade?
As part of the upgrade, your computer's hard drive (or, for some, the entire computer) will be replaced. To ensure that your files are available after the upgrade, you will be asked to copy all your personal data from your hard drive to a temporary network space in the days prior to your upgrade. Specific instructions on how to do this will be provided as your migration date nears.
What can I expect from Office 2010?
The list of new and enhanced features in Office 2010 is long, and includes improvements to the Microsoft "ribbon," stronger formatting features, built-in PDF support, new audio and visual tools in some programs, and a real-time co-authoring tool for document collaboration.
If you are currently using Office 2007, the visual and functional changes coming with Office 2010 should be relatively easy to navigate. For those who are currently using Office 2003, however, the upgrade represents a big jump. We strongly recommend that any Loyola staff or faculty still using Office 2003, or Office 2007 users who want extra time to get familiar with the new version, move now on their own to Office 2010. To do so, select Loyola Software, Useful Tools, Microsoft Office, Office 2010.
For more information, see the About Office 2010 page.
What programs are included in Office 2010?
- Access
- Excel
- InfoPath designer
- InfoPath filler
- OneNote
- PowerPoint
- Publisher
- Word
Will my existing files be compatible with the Office 2010 programs?
All of the files you created using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003 (or earlier) programs (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint) should open properly in Office 2010. Keep in mind, however, that the Office 2010 programs offer additional features which may not be available in older versions. If you're collaborating with colleagues who have not yet upgraded, you can save your documents in a format that will continue to work with the earlier versions.
What can I expect from Windows 7?
During the migration project, we'll be moving to the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Enterprise. It has a streamlined user interface, including new desktop features that make it easier to organize and manage multiple windows and a taskbar with a live preview, allowing you to jump right to the document, picture, or website you have open in another program. Windows 7 also offers stronger and more intuitive searching, expanded media options, and enhanced personalization.
For more information, see the About Windows 7 page.
What programs will be installed with Windows 7?
Program Version Adobe AIR 22.214.171.12480 Adobe Reader 10.1.1 Flash Plug-in 184.108.40.206 GroupWise 8.0.2 GroupWise Instant Messenger 2.0.3 Internet Explorer 9 Java JRE 1.6.0_29 Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 Office 2010 SP1 QuickTime 22.214.171.124 Shockwave Flash 126.96.36.1999 Windows Media Player 11
I've installed other programs on my computer. Will they continue to work with Windows 7?
As with any upgrade, the move to Windows 7 may render some older applications obsolete. All programs delivered through Loyola's standard image are compatible, but some software programs will not work once the upgrade is complete.
ITS has tested the majority of software in use at Loyola. To view the results, see the link on our Compatibility Testing page. Products marked as incompatible will not work once Loyola's upgrade to Windows 7 is complete. In some cases, you may need to upgrade a program to resolve compatibility issues.
If software that you've installed on your machine is listed as compatible, and if you wish to continue using it after the upgrade, please be sure you have the original CDs and license information available so it can be reinstalled.
Will my printer, scanner, and webcam continue to work with Windows 7?
Many users have installed additional peripherals, such as printers, scanners, web cameras, or backup drives. While standard and newer peripherals have been verified to work with Windows 7, some older or non-standard devices will not.
To check for compatibility, see the link on our Compatibility Testing page. Additional information may be available through Microsoft's own Windows 7 Compatibility Center or through the manufacturer's web site.
Is there anything else I need to do to prepare for the upgrades?
Most of the work for the migration project takes place behind the scenes, but there are a few things you can do to help make sure you're ready when your department is upgraded. Please visit the How to Prepare page for more information.
Where can I find the procedural worksheets and documentation?
When your department is scheduled for its upgrade, you will receive printed copies or links to several procedural documents. Backup links to these are provided here. Please note that the instructions included in these documents will not work if your department has not yet begun the migration process, and the material may be revised as the migration project progresses.
Who do I call if I have questions?
For now, questions can be sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com, where they will be answered as quickly as possible.
Will there be training on Windows 7 and Office 2010?
Classes in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and other topics are now conducted using Windows 7 and the Office 2010 software. A new schedule of classes will be offered in August 2012. Information, including registration, will be provided on the Training Central page.
What other learning resources are available?
We have a number of quick reference cards available for Windows and Office 2010 topics. Loyolans can view these PDFs online or print them for later use:
- Quick Reference: Windows 7
- Quick Reference: What's New in Office 2010
- Quick Reference: Access 2010
- Quick Reference: Excel 2010
- Quick Reference: PowerPoint 2010
- Quick Reference: Word 2010
In addition, the library of Loyola-created documentation will be updated as the project progresses, with new instructional materials created as needed. These are available through our Documentation and Training page.
You may also wish to investigate the articles, videos, and training modules offered online directly through Microsoft. Two great starting points are Getting Started with Office 2010 and Getting Started with Windows 7.
Can I get Windows 7 or Office 2010 for use on my home computer?
Loyolans interested in upgrading to Windows 7 or Office 2010 on their home computers can buy these programs at a significant discount ($9.95 each for an electronic download) through a special purchasing program. Please visit our Varsity Buys page for more information.

With iOS 7, you are no longer a slave to the constant need to update your apps. John McCain should be totally happy.
With this new automatic update feature, though, it might be nice to see what's been updated lately. To do that, it's just a quick trip into the guts of iOS 7. Here's how.
To figure out what's been updated, as well as when it was last updated, you need travel no further than the App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Tap the App Store icon on your Home screen, and then hit the Updates button in the lower right-hand corner. You'll then see apps that have been updated, sorted by the date they were updated. Pretty neat, huh?
You may see some apps that have not yet been updated. You might have automatic updates turned off. To turn it on, navigate to your Settings app, tap on iTunes & App Store, and then toggle Updates to ON.
You may need to wait a bit for the updates to start happening, but now you'll get your apps updated without any input on your part.

A man was threatened with a knife after disturbing a burglar in his Houghton Regis home.
The crime happened late on Saturday afternoon when the intruder entered a house in Tithe Farm Road through an unlocked back door.
He went upstairs and started searching the master bedroom, but the 29-year-old victim heard noises and went into the room to investigate as he believed he was home alone.
As the victim walked into the bedroom he was confronted by the burglar, who held a large knife towards him in a threatening manner. The householder fled and hid in another room, while the intruder left the home empty-handed.
Now detectives are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened between 5.20pm and 5.35pm, to come forward.
The raider was a white man, between 35 and 40 years old, around 5ft 11ins tall, clean shaven, of slender build and wearing a long -sleeved black jacket with the hood worn up.
Det Con Denise Comb, who is investigating, is keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area prior to the aggravated burglary or may have seen the culprit afterwards.
If you have information relating to this incident, contact Det Con Comb, in confidence, on 01582 394359, phone the non-emergency 101 number, or text information to 07786 200011.
Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

ViaSat Airborne Satellite Communications Systems Exceed 500,000 Operational Flight Hours
- More than 200 satcom equipped government aircraft are transmitting ISR and C2 in theater
Integrated on more than 200 government aircraft since 2008, the ViaSat KuSS (Ku Spread Spectrum) systems have supplied vital real-time Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) and Command and Control (C2) data to U.S. and coalition forces. ViaSat also leverages its Yonder(r) commercial global mobile broadband satellite network, augmenting it for Department of Defense (DoD) use by adding multiple private managed hubs and upwards of 1000 MHz of satellite bandwidth.

Airborne satellite communication imposes distinct constraints on the size, weight, power, and throughput of a complete system, but ViaSat system performance achieves operational data rates up to 4 Mbps with antenna technology and aperture designs as small as 12 inches. ViaSat plans to continue upgrading the KuSS technology with higher data rates and new capabilities for mobile airborne applications.
"The DoD demand for airborne broadband operations has grown exponentially in the past few years," said Paul Baca, ViaSat GM for Global Mobile Broadband Systems. "We have responded with innovative aircraft systems and a global end-to-end network with redundancy and failover support that is essential for government missions."

USD/JPY (a 4-hour chart)
General overview
In the absence of Japan important macroeconomic statistics publication as well as the bank holiday in the United States, traders will focus their attention on the trades' dynamics in the Tokyo stock exchange. The US inflation Friday's release encouraged bulls to long, as a result we have seen all three major indices steady growth. We expect demand for Japanese corporate bonds which will also support the USD/JPY bulls.
The price is finding the first support at 117.00, the next one is at 115.80. The price is finding the first resistance at 118.00, the next one is at 119.20.
There is a confirmed and a strong sell signal. The price is under the Cloud and it is under the Chinkou Span. The Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen show a horizontal movement. The downward movement will be until the price is under the Cloud.
The MACD indicator is in a negative territory. The price is correcting.
Trading recommendations
The potential growth target is the resistance level of 118.00.

Penalty drop: Tiger Woods plummets on Sports Q Scores list
Published June 7, 2010
For the first time in more than a decade, Tiger Woods is not at the top of the annual Sports Q Scores list, upon which hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of advertising and marketing decisions are based. Woods has shared the top spot in the Sports Q rankings with Michael Jordan for as long as anyone at Marketing Evaluations, the Manhasset, N.Y., research firm that owns and has operated the franchise since 1963, can recall.
However, following his sex scandal, Woods dropped to 25th on the list. His positive Q Score dipped almost 33 percent, from a 44 to a 30, and his negative Q Score, reflecting those surveyed who said they don't like Woods, more than doubled, from a 15 to a 39.
Woods' precipitous decline in "likability" left Arnold Palmer as the highest ranking golfer. As Tiger fell, Arnie rose, increasing his positive Q from 31 to 39, while Jack Nicklaus' likability score rose from 29 to 36. The top active golfer is still Tiger. His 30 score is followed by Phil Mickelson's 24.
|1. Michael Jordan
|2 (tie) John Madden
|2 (tie) Shaun White
|4. Peyton Manning
|5 (tie) Joe Montana
|5 (tie) Arnold Palmer
|7 (tie) Jerry Rice
|7 (tie) Nolan Ryan
|9 (tie) Julius Erving
|9 (tie) Magic Johnson
|9 (tie) Apolo Anton Ohno
|Numbers reflect each athlete's positive Q Score
Source: Marketing Evaluations
Can Tiger be rehabilitated in the court of public opinion?
"People are people, so the degree of success on the field increases likability," said Steven Levitt, president of Marketing Evaluations, citing Brett Favre's increase from 26 to 36 in likability after leading the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC championship game. "For someone [like Woods] who had a high degree of awareness, it will take a long time to get back to where they were, if at all."
With the survey in the field just after the conclusion of the Winter Games in Vancouver, the Olympics made a big splash. Shaun White's 41 was even with NFL icon John Madden, and the highest ranking achieved by an action sports athlete in the survey, although it does not uniformly measure every athlete, every year. Apolo Anton Ohno's 37 tied him with NBA legends Magic Johnson and Julius Erving, and that probably would never happen in a non-Winter Olympics year.
Retired players continue to score high. In addition to Magic and Dr. J, the top baseball player was Nolan Ryan with a 38; Cal Ripken Jr. had a 36. Among other MLBers, the biggest surprise may have been the not-so-active Ken Griffey Jr. increasing his positive Q from 24 to 31. "That defies believability," Levitt said.
Meanwhile, Albert Pujols' score went from 23 to 24, and Derek Jeter's score increased from a 20 to a 26.
Among active NBA players, LeBron James' 34 topped the list. Kobe Bryant's likability increased from 19 to 24, but his negative Q remained at 35.
The retired Richard Petty tops the list of motorsports "names" at 31. Danica Patrick is the top active driver measured with a 29, up from 22, although Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s 28, "is not statistically a significant difference," according to Levitt.
As always, Wayne Gretzky was the top-rated NHLer, with a 33. Top active players were the Buffalo Sabres' Ryan Miller at 31 — again showing the influence of the Olympics. Henrik Zetterberg at 28 was ahead of league icons Sidney Crosby (24) and Alex Ovechkin (23).
The survey was in the market long enough to track some of the effect of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's recent behavior. His positive scored dropped from 23 to 19, and his negative Q increased more than 50 percent, from 20 to 31.
Among tennis stars, Serena Williams tops sister Venus in likability by a slim 25 to 23 score. Roger Federer also scored a 25, while John McEnroe got a 24.
In a non-Summer Olympics year, swimming champion Michael Phelps' positive score was down only slightly, from 32 to 30, while his negative score stayed at 19. Tony Hawk's 29 was the second-highest rated score among action sports athletes.

Student Government Association hosts Town Hall forum with Student Health and Wellness Center
On Tuesday, March 21 during the student lunch hour, the Student Government Association (SGA) Events Committee hosted another installment of the organization's regular Town Hall forums. During these public events, staff from a particular university department are invited to come and host an open platform where students are welcome to come and voice their opinions or ask questions of that particular department. This most recent Town Hall was held with the Student Health and Wellness Center (SHWC), a department dedicated to meeting the medical and wellness needs of the entire student body.
After the audience and SHWC staff had their catered Sodexo lunch, the forum began with Senator Erin Nelson of the SGA Events Committee introducing the event and the panel of individuals from the Student Health and Wellness Center introducing themselves. Senator Nelson then began with a previously submitted online question that inquired about a perceived issue of walk-in appointments not always being properly accommodated by the SHWC. Associate Vice Provost of Student Health and Wellness Anita Opdycke responded that by the nature of the center, all efforts are taken to accommodate walk-in students, but wait times are the unfortunate reality of such open services. Although a walk-in student cannot always be seen immediately, best efforts are made so that such students should be seen within the same or next day. A triage system does apply to walk-ins as well. Students with major, life-threatening conditions (such as breathing issues) will be seen immediately as a first priority, bumping up other previously scheduled appointments if deemed necessary. Urgent, but not necessarily life-threatening, concerns (such as a sudden urinary tract infection) are treated in designated walk-in time slots. Thus, the SHWC has mechanisms in place to accommodate for walk-in emergencies, but wait times are an unfortunate reality of such services.
Following that discussion came a question from an audience member about a billing issue her friend encountered. This friend in question had gone in for an appointment about an infection, was asked to be tested for sexually-transmitted diseases, and then billed for such testing despite rejecting them in the first place. Opdycke responded that this was a very circumstantial problem and is not reflective of the policies and procedures of the SHWC. Providers are trained to explain all testing they find necessary and give proper reasoning for such occurrences. Students have a right to know why they are being tested and can deny it at their own discretion. The SHWC has no authority to force medical testing and can only act as recommenders laying out benefits of a given medical test.
Moving away from traditional medical practices and procedures, discussion then shifted to a series of audience questions centered around the therapy services offered by the SHWC. The first such question inquired about the current practice of the SHWC assigning a therapy client a specific therapist instead of allowing the student the choice of a preferred therapist among the center's staff. Staff Psychologist Christine Reh answered with the unfortunate current reality that the SHWC has a shortage of therapy staff and that "now we don't really have the luxury to assign therapists based on somebody's preference". Programs scheduled for the upcoming summer should allow more staff to be trained and increase the therapist capacity of the center, but for now the center can only offer its promise that it will work to the fullest extent of its current capacity to accommodate all students as fairly and consistently as possible.
A follow-up question to this discussion was an audience question about what policies and procedures are in place for when a therapist leaves the center in the middle of a client relationship. Reh replied that such departures are planned far in advance and that transitional therapy sessions are arranged between a student's prior and new therapist to ensure a smooth transfer of service. However, in unexpected situations regarding a staff member's departure, administrative assistance can only occur post-fact, although such circumstances are rare.
A later question regarding the systems in place for the therapy options of the SHWC to deal with issues of suicidal and self-harming tendencies was met with a strong expression of the legal and ethical obligations of the department to abide by confidentiality over such topics. Unless students are at "imminent risk" of harming themselves or others, the staff of the SHWC cannot and will not disclose any information that a student discusses at his or her therapy or medical sessions. The professional nature of the center means that students are encouraged to come and make an appointment for any and all medical or mental health concerns and find comfort in knowing that the staff are trained to serve their clients to the best of their administrative ability.
In the same vein of administrative assistance, the next audience question concerned the issues of insurance and billing. Associate Director of Operations Melody McCray emphasized that the SHWC, by itself, is not a billing facility and that the department's policy is "to not tell the students what we think they will pay". Instead, in the event that billing from an outside lab falls upon a student, the SHWC is more than capable of helping make sure that such a bill is correct and making any phone calls or other appeals necessary to avoid any incorrect billings. Students are encouraged to approach the SHWC with questions and issues regarding any medical bills related to services from the department.
Outside the scope of the SHWC, the next audience question asked if there was any collaboration between the specialists of the center and with Illinois Tech Dining Services over ensuring proper nutritional standards are met in The Commons and other campus dining options. It is the understanding of the Student Health and Wellness Center that part of the Dining Services staff is a registered Sodexo dietitian. A suggestion from an audience member was that students concerned over the nutritional value of on-campus dining options should relay their concerns to the Residence Hall Association and the Food Advisory Board. A member of the Food Advisory Board was present in the audience and stated that he would bring up the question of nutrition at the next Food Advisory Board meeting.
Adderall prescriptions were the subject of the next question. A stimulant traditionally used to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Adderall has a somewhat negative stigma surrounding it involving abuse among students to supplement long studying sessions by boosting attention span. The SHWC made it clear at the forum that prescriptions require a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis and proper medical documentation that a student needs the prescription to be filled by a licensed psychiatrist. The department takes such the process for Adderall and other prescription drugs very seriously to avoid any issues of abuse.
Returning to administrative concerns, another student in the audience expressed confusion over the online appointment system offered by the SHWC, citing that it does not show any open therapy appointments for the next month. Opdycke stated that the next available intake therapy session is March 22, but that a new therapist is slated to be joining the center's staff soon and more students would be able to be accommodated as a result. She also reiterated that walk-in appointments for crises are always an option, and such occurrences are fast-tracked to work with the student's needs as much as possible.
The medical climate of the United States is due for some very dramatic changes in the upcoming future, as the federal Affordable Care Act is likely to be repealed. The staff of the SHWC hope to address this issue and other related questions at an upcoming "Health Insurance 101" session to be detailed in an email to the student body after the Town Hall. Students are also encouraged to come to the SHWC on the third floor of the IIT Tower at any time to discuss questions of insurance.
The final topic of the forum was a series of questions regarding efforts by the SHWC to address and collaborate with select campus groups, such as the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and self-labeled "queer" communities. Opdycke responded that her department is "happy to work with any student group". However, she also responded that prior attempts at engaging the student body have failed to properly retain a sizable population of interested and involved students. For example, the SHWC website specifically references a Student Health and Wellness Advisory Committee that no longer exists as all involved students lost interest over time. "If we can speak the language of the students, by the students, from the students, we will be more successful in getting information out there," Opdyke explained.
Inspired by the clear gap in communications between the student body and the SHWC, one SGA senator is currently spearheading an effort to revive the Student Health and Wellness Advisory Committee in the same vein as other SGA advisory boards, such as the aforementioned Food Advisory Board. Ideally, this board will continue the connection between both parties that this Town Hall helped begin. This effort is still in its very early phases, but interested students are encouraged to lend their support and ideas at email@example.com.

Which? calls for probe into credit card fees
Charges for using debit and credit cards to pay for goods and tickets will come under the microscope of the Office of Fair Trading after the consumer watchdog Which? lodged a super-complaint.
Which? has asked the OFT to investigate whether companies need to charge customers relatively high fees for processing a card payment.
The consumer rights champion has claimed that most debit card payments cost 20p to process and that credit card payments cost companies no more than 2 per cent of the transaction value. It believes that the cost of debit card transactions should be absorbed by the retailer because it is so small. The OFT is concerned that this may have become "a hidden way of making money".
Which? is also concerned that…

Science shows that sleep is essential to memory and creativity. As the NY Times reported, "Sleep improves creative ability to generate aha! moments and to uncover novel connections among seemingly unrelated ideas." But what if we're going about sleep all wrong?
Most humans in the industrial world sleep in one long stretch. We go to bed, sleep for 7 or 8 hours if we're lucky, and then get up and go to work. But, as a recent New Yorker piece by Elizabeth Kolbert explains, this isn't the way we always slept. And it may be why nearly two thirds of Americans claim that they're not getting enough rest during the week.
Wolf-Meyer refers to the practice of going to bed at around eleven o'clock at night and staying there until about seven in the morning as sleeping "in a consolidated fashion." Nowadays, adults are expected to sleep in this manner; anything else–sleeping during the day, sleeping in bursts, waking up in the middle of the night–is taken to be unsound, even deviant. This didn't use to be the case.
Until a century and a half or so ago, Wolf-Meyer observes, "Americans, like other people around the world, used to sleep in an unconsolidated fashion, that is, in two or more periods throughout the day." They went to bed not long after the sun went down. Four or five hours later, they work from their "first sleep" and rattled around–praying, chatting, smoking, or making love.(Benjamin Franklin reportedly like to spend this time reading naked in a chair.) Eventually, they went back to bed for their "second sleep."
Flickr founder Caterina Fake recently discussed her experiments with sleeping with shifts. And creative luminaries from Winston Churchill to Thomas Edison to Salvador Dali have been known to appreciate the art of intermittent sleep.
What's your take? Are you looking for a better solution than "consolidated sleep"?

It is kind of funny how when a person gets older they understand the scriptures more. Somethings we read and ask how could a person do that? But then when put in the same situations we find ourselves relating more and more to the people we have read in Bible! This morning I found myself facing a situation where I was not sure if something I felt was really God's will or my "do goodness" thoughts. So I decided Gideon was a good choice.
So I put it to God in the same manner just to be sure. Time will tell now if the idea is of God's or just mine.
Yesterday, I surrendered a situation over to God and told Him that it is ALL his. Whatever He wanted. Then I remembered I forgot to do something that He told me to do. I proceeded to do it and He opened the door to a great blessing! Sometimes God just awaits our obedience.
Sometimes all we have to do is sit still and know that He is God. Let go and let God.
To God be ALL the glory.

Godtland announces retirement from ICA
Bryan Godtland has announced he is retiring and has sold his share of the Investment Centers of America Inc. partnership to his partners, Jim Caspers, Chris Reisdorf and Randy Penkwitz.
The firm offers investment and retirement planning services. Godtland will officially leave the group at the end of April after nearly 20 years in business in the Hudson community
"This is a difficult thing for me to do," Godtland said, "but really exciting at the same time." Godtland opened his ICA office in 1989 in the First National Bank of Hudson and has continued his relationship with the Bismarck, N.D.-based broker/dealer and many clients since then.
"We are financial advisers to hundreds of households in the St. Croix Valley area," he said, "and we appreciate every one of them."
When First National Bank was sold to Associated Bank in 2006, the group moved to its independent location at 900 Crest View Drive in Hudson, and the office will continue to operate there.
"We're going to miss him," said longtime partner Jim Caspers. "When he came in the door it always seemed to energize all of us!" Caspers joined Godtland in 1994, then Chris Reisdorf in 2001 and Randy Penkwitz in 2003.
"I retire with the knowledge that clients will receive good financial advice, service and support, and that makes me happy," said Godtland of the team of 13 employees in the office. "I feel I am leaving the clients in very good hands."
Godtland's wife, Bonny, is president of the St. Paul Federal Credit Union and will be retiring March 1.
"What I will miss the most is the interaction, the personal meetings, getting to know clients and their families, being part of their lives, and enjoying the friendships," Godtland said. "Those who know me well know that the difficult times for me have not been driven by market turmoil but by the death of a client or one of their family members.
"On the other hand, I have had the joy of seeing so many of them attaining goals for retirement, sending a child off to college, helping a grandchild with college expenses to enable their success in life, or just enjoying life themselves. All of that makes me proud."
A farewell open house will be held this spring.

That's the real action for you. Bike lover 'John Abraham' this time lifted 150 kg bike instead of riding for his next movie 'Force'.
While shooting for this movie, there was an action scene which needed someone to lift a bike, John decided to do it himself instead of calling stuntman.
Says producer Vipul Shah, "I was not on the sets the day John was shooting for the scene.
The bike weighed 150 kgs, and the actor did not want to resort to cables to do the scene. It took him some takes and a lot of effort to perform the heavy stunt, but in the end he pulled it off brilliantly.
When Nishikant called me to say he was planning to do it without a harness, I told him not to allow him to do the same as he could hurt his back or knee. But he was confident and insisted on performing it." – Source: Mid-day.com

Guests with strange requests
Asking for plants to be watered while away and complaining about bed linen not matching the curtain colours are just some of the stranger requests by hotel guests.
One guest called for the 'sacking' of a horse after being left with sore buttocks following a riding holiday.
This particular guest even sent pictures of his red bottom, according to lastminute.com's customer support team.
The team's other weird occurrences include:
:: A customer who requested not to be called back about his booking and suggested a code-word be used instead of his name because he would be travelling with his son's wife, rather than his own;
:: A guest who insisted on being told the exact temperature of the sea in Marrakech;
:: One guest who asked for a "sensual room"' with a mirror on the ceiling;
:: A jealous boyfriend who demanded that a club entertainer who had looked at his girlfriend be fired.
Lastminute.com customer operations head David Beatley said: "Our customer support team are the 'hidden heroes' of the travel industry.
" With customers seeking 100% satisfaction from their holidays, their requests do sometimes uncover very personal needs."

The District is investigating whether rules governing the handling of employee documents have been broken after D.C. police and firefighters' union leaders wrote a letter to the city's inspector general saying firefighters found three dumpsters full of burning documents at the fire department's training academy on Friday.
"Once this matter was brought to our attention, our Internal Affairs Division immediately began investigating," read a short police statement released Wednesday.
"We are looking into whether any records retention protocols have been violated," the statement said. "The Metropolitan Police Department will cooperate with the Office of the Inspector General during the course of their investigation."
The letter says firefighters noticed that at least some of the documents were personnel records for members of the D.C. police department and fire and emergency medical services department. The letter says there were also unburned documents found in an abandoned car and scattered on the ground at the training facility.

Don't believe the burgundy vintage hype
Having rattled round the early January 2009 burgundy tastings, it is clear that it's not all it has been cracked up to be
The early-drinking, sensual 2009 burgundies will bring much pleasure to drinkers, merchants and restaurateurs alike. Just don't make me tell you it's a great year: it isn't. As a glass half-full person, I should confess I fell for the 2009 burgundy hype that started the moment the grapes were picked. If 2009 bordeaux was a great year, and it was, then 2009 burgundy surely had to follow suit.
Stories circulating that the '09 burgundies were in the same mould as legendary other "9" vintages, including '49 and '59, made my mouth water. One burgundy specialist told me, not entirely in jest, that "2009 was the greatest vintage ever produced anywhere in the world".
Having rattled round as many of the early January 2009 burgundy tastings…

I've made no secret of the battle I've had with my brows. Naturally I look like a descendant of Wolverine with a mono-brow and a bushier than most lady-stache to show for it (but let's save the latter for another time). In my early years I chopped them off. Yep, nail scissors in one hand, my brow hairs being grasped by the other, off they came. My poor Mum had to pencil my brows in for school, only for them to be washed away during swimming class for my peers to see my bald as a coot forehead. It's fair to say brows are my bugbear. Despite my teenage self pruning them into a thin and spindly existence, slowly but surely they've sprouted back and now I'm a firm believer in the 'bigger the brow the better' camp. And I think I've found just the product to shape and shade where needed, welcome Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil.
First I'll get you up to speed. Here's how my brow beater CV reads so far: Rimmel Professional Brow Pencil in Dark Brown – too hard, Laura Mercier Eyebrow Pencil in Warm Brunette – too soft, MAC Espresso Eyeshadow – too warm, Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Medium Brown – actually the best of the bunch but still required the whole faff of needing a brush to apply the product (read: I'm lazy). The Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil is formulated to be the best of all the above textures: powder, wax and pencil all stacked up  into one the hard little nib.
The pigment of a powder with the hold of a wax and the handiness of a pencil. I use it vertically to sketch in a few extra hairs at the tail of my brow and then turn it horizontally to do some shading at the arch. Simples. The waxy texture makes it difficult to go too overboard and negates the need to throw on a brow gel post-application. The colour as well, Soft Brunette – one of a range of three – is a good match, neither warm nor cool just an undetectable brow-like shade. It's supposed to be waterproof; I have yet to test that theory but it's bloomin' long lasting stuff and even after a day of me wiping my forehead in a damsel in distress fashion and leaning with my head in my hands (my incognito sleeping position on the tube), my brows are still perfectly positioned. Could I be anymore in love?
The stickler? At £26 a pop from Space NK these are definitely a brow tamer treat – a bit of a last resort purchase for those with a similar brow bugbear if you'd like. The product to price ratio is measly, but it's a pencil you really don't have to use heavily-handledly so I've got a feeling in my belly this will last a while. I'll have to keep you hanging on that one. But for now I'll suck it up as I'm brow content, and that hasn't happened in a long while…

You can use any available light source to light a subject differently. At Profoto we don't do complicated and you will find our products easy to set up and simple to use. With advancement in technology, such as TTL, you can point and shoot and always get the right exposure. And if you take a look at our blog and YouTube channel, you'll find inspiring stories and useful tips from famous photographers on how to get great shots.
Intuitive: Profoto doesn't do complicated. That's why you'll find our products easy to set up and simple to use.

I booked a SPA get away for my friend and I to celebrate her birthday. On arrival at the hotel, it transpired our pre booked treatments, which had been confirmed by telephone and in writing were not actually booked in. The hotel had only one therapist booked all day and she was too busy to see us. I was very disappointed and will not be using this company in future. I wish I had seen these other awful reviews before we had used the company! I would have booked direct with the hotel… Read Full Review

When things like this get "leaked", I wonder who is doing the "leaking"? I am guessing this was a deliberate leak to keep the public interested in Lindsay's pictorial.
Nonetheless a leak is a leak and some are comparing Ms. Lohan's Playboy cover to Marilyn Monroe meets Jessica Rabbit. I can see that. I can also see freckle juice meets crack pipe meets air brushing.

I was initially going to post an entry complaining about my job, but I think I'll sit on the draft for a little while longer to see if I still feel the same way tomorrow. Let's not be rash when it comes to posting on the public domain…
So instead you get a post about whiny French nihilists. But first I will tell you a story, so if you just want the book review skip down a few paragraphs.
I hate the French. Now, I know that this sounds completely small-minded and ridiculous, but I will still say it. I hate the French. Not on an individual level, for I am sure that there are many French people who I would get along with famously. But as a general group, I hate the French. I could make a list of all the silly, vague reasons for this, but in reality I am holding the entire culture responsible for the actions of one extremely ridiculous boy I encountered while I was in university.
After randomly approaching me in the student union and asking me out to lunch, this boy (I will call him Frenchie) said something to the effect of:
"Stop doing that with your eyes."
"What?" I replied, more than a little bit confused.
"Stop doing that thing with your eyes…it's like they're hypnotizing me."
"Are you serious?" I said.
Yes, Frenchie was somehow able to deliver that line, which was so obviously Bullshit, to me with a straight face. I have no idea how anyone could say something like that and still expect to be taken seriously. I can only cling to the hope that a line like that would not actually work on a French woman. The reason why Frenchie thought that something so painfully trite could work on me is the sad fact that it had probably already worked for him several times in the past. It is no small secret that American Girls have a thing for Foreign Accents. Well, let's say European accents. I, too, am guilty of a fetish for foreign men. However, I also have zero tolerance for unabashed Bullshit. Upon coming to America, Guys with European Accents discover that their ability to talk a girl out of her panties has suddenly increased, all due to their new-found status as Exotic. I have had this tactic used on me not only by Frenchie, but also by a German in his first year of residency at Harvard. A Harvard education, as you might guess, serves as another powerful aphrodisiac for inexperienced 20-something girls.
Frnechie also had the fact that he was a graduate student going for him, something that undergraduate girls find attractive because it makes them feel more 'mature.' With those two things working in his advantage, Frenchie no doubt though that he could seduce this blond American just as easily as he had the others. Unfortunately, in addition to spouting bad poetry Frenchie was so boring that I could hardly stand sitting though an entire meal with him and was immensely relieved that I was able to extricate myself from the situation and avoid a 'walk along the river' that undoubtedly would have led to me biting off my own tongue. Still, despite my hasty exit, Frenchie tried to entice me out to a party that night at the apartment he shared with a similarly Exotic Belorussian with the promise of a hot tub. Ooh baby, did that make me feel special. So, I continue to hold all of France responsible for Frenchie's bad decision to try and seduce the most cynical girl in the greater-Boston area with whispered sweet nothings.
However, even my animosity for the French cannot stop me from listing Michel Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island as one of my favorite books ever.
Part science fiction, part erotica, this book is mostly just scathing commentary on modern society, materialism, sexuality, aging, mortality and pretty much everything else. Each chapter bounces back and forth between Daniel 1, in the Present, and Daniel 24 and 25, in the Future. Houellebecq presents a rather dismal image of the future of human evolution, one in which humans are almost extinct and the neohumans exist in near-complete solitude, communicating with one another entirely through IP addresses. As a species, the neohumans live in a state of near joyless stasis. Having completely abandoned life, they spend their time rereading and commenting on the life stories of their original predecessors, from which they were cloned. In other words, a life of pure intellect completely divorced from emotion. For Houellebecq, the Future is a time when humanity, or the latest evolution of it, believes that everything can be understood through science and technology alone.
This book puts me in a rather introspective mood. I particularly enjoy Houellebecq's passages on sexuality and aging (and with it the decay of physical beauty), though I do recognize the ridiculousness of a 23 year old trying to comprehend the inevitable process of aging and decay that everyone will eventually face. Here's my favorite part of the book (there are many other good parts, but I can't just quote the book to you for 50 pages):
A very pretty young girl, treated with constant regard and paid enormous attention by the whole male population, including those – the huge majority – who no longer have any hope of obtaining sexual favors from her, frankly especially by them, with an abject emulation that with some fifty-somethings borders on senility pure and simple, a very pretty young girl before whom all faces open, all difficulties are ironed out, greeted everywhere as if she were the queen of the world, naturally becomes a sort of monster of egoism and self-satisfied vanity. Physical beauty plays here exactly the same role as nobility of blood in the Ancien Regime, and the brief consciousness that they might have at adolescence of the purely accidental nature of their rank rapidly gives way among very pretty young girls to a sensation of innate, natural, and instinctive superiority, which places them completely outside, and far above, the rest of mankind. Everyone around her having as their objective to spare her all difficulties, and to satisfy the least of her desires, a very pretty young girl effortlessly comes to consider the rest of the world as made up of so many servants, herself having the sole task of maintaining her own erotic value – in the expectation of meeting a boy worthy of receiving her homage. The only thing that could save her on the moral level, is having a concrete responsibility for a weaker being, to be directly and personally responsible for the satisfaction of its physical needs, for its health and survival – this being could be a brother or a younger sister, a pet, whatever.
Esther was certainly not well educated in the normal sense of the term, the thought never crossed her mind to empty an ashtray, or to clear away what was left on her plate, and she didn't mind in the slightest about leaving the lights on behind her in the rooms she had just left (there had been occasions when I, following step by step her journey through my residence in San Jose, had to flick off seventeen switches); there was also no question of asking her to think of doing the shopping, to bring anything back from the shop that was not intended for her own use, or more generally to do any kind of favor for anyone. Like all very pretty girls she was basically only good for fucking, and it would have been stupid to employ her for anything else, to see her as anything other than a luxury animal, pampered and spoiled, protected from all cares as from any difficult or painful task so as to be better able to devote herself to her exclusively sexual service. But, nonetheless, she was very far from being that monster of arrogance, of absolute and cold egoism, or, to speak in more Baudelairean terms, that infernal little bitch that the majority of very pretty young girls are; there was in her the consciousness of illness, weakness, and death. Although beautiful, very beautiful, infinitely erotic, and desirable, Esther was no less sensitive to animal infirmities, because she knew them; it was that evening that I became conscious of it, and I began to truly love her. Physical desire, however violent, had, for me, never been enough to lead to love, it had never been able to reach that ultimate stage where it was accompanied, through a strange juxtaposition, by compassion for the one I desired; any living being, obviously, deserves compassion for the simple fact that it is alive, and therefore exposes itself to innumerable sufferings; but, when you're talking about a being that is young and in perfect health, it is a consideration that appears very theoretical. Through her kidney illness, her physical weakness, which was above suspicion yet real, Esther could arouse an unaffected compassion in me, whenever I wanted to feel this way about her. Being herself compassionate, having the same occasional aspirations toward goodness, she could also arouse in me esteem, which completed the edifice, and even though I was able to desire someone completely contemptible, even though I had even found myself on several occasions fucking girls with the sole aim of confirming my power over them and, it's true, to dominate them, if I had gone as far as using this unworthy feeling in some sketches, as far as displaying a troubling understanding of rapists who sacrifice their victim immediately after finishing with her body, I had, however, always needed to respect in order to love, never in my heart of hearts had I felt perfectly at ease in a sexual relationship based purely on erotic attraction and indifference to the other, I had always needed, to feel sexually happy, a minimum – for want of love – of sympathy, respect, and mutual understanding; no, I had not given up on mankind.
Clearly, this is not a book for everyone. I do not speak French, but this book definitely reads like a translation, though a very good one.
Upon rereading this book today (yes, I read terrifyingly fast), I was shocked to discover just how deeply it has become embedded in the way I perceive the world. More surprisingly, this happened entirely without my noticing it. When I first read it, I knew that I loved it, but I did not expect that it was going to to integrate itself so deeply into my psyche. Take this passage for example (not as long, I promise):
Your only chance of survival, if you are sincerely smitten, lies in hiding this fact from the woman you love, of feigning casual detachment under all circumstances. What sadness there is in this simple observation! What an accusation against man! However, it never occurred to me to contest this law, nor to imagine disobeying it: love makes you weak, and the weaker of the two is oppressed, tortured, and finally killed by the other, who in his or her turn oppresses, tortures, and kills without having evil intentions, without even getting pleasure from it, with complete indifference; that's what men normally call love.
No one who has had their heart broken can deny that there is a certain pessimistic truth to that.
The Possibility of an Island is not perfect. For one, the book drops off during the last third. This is not to say that it becomes bad, just that it seems unable to sustain the momentum created by the first two-thirds of the novel. Despite the vaguely optimistic ending, Houellebecq offers no solution or alternative to the present state of humanity. Thus, I am perfectly aware that this book is rather self-indulgent, for both the author and the reader. It allows us to haughtily looks down at the absurdities and flaws of the human condition while simultaneously indulging ourselves in them. I will also admit, that upon rereading, The Possibilty of an Island can sound a bit petulant. But, hey, it's French.

Your book reviews exceed your Zombie reviews. A new side line for you: the New York Review of Books. Am forwarding your entire post to a Russian Franco-phile your age who gave me one you may enjoy (If you haven't already) Boris Vian – Foam of the Daze. I truly love your blog. Some of the livliest writing I encounter. Much better than the economic, political and government blogs I'm stuck reading (yech…). Mata ne, C.-san.
p.s. – WordPress was a good choice.

Independent fieldwork in community agencies, apprenticeships, internships, as approved for College of Arts and Sciences credit. Faculty sponsor and internship supervisor are required. Credit/no-credit only. Offered: AWSpS.
Class description
The student newspaper is in its second year, publishing text, photographs, visuals, and videos online for its university community. The course's learning goals center around the journalism skills that are essential to public dialogue and civic participation. In the two-credit independent fieldwork course, students will be able to achieve the four learning goals described below. By the end of the quarter, students should have demonstrated these skills by reporting, writing, editing, and critiquing news and feature articles for the Husky Herald and assessed their learning goals.
Student learning goals
Demonstrate fundamental skills in reporting and writing (e.g. interviewing, story formats, visuals)
Demonstrate fundamental skills in editing and peer-critique (e.g. style guides, grammar, news judgment, media law)
Demonstrate fundamental skills in news organization strategies (e.g. meeting deadlines, pitching stories, working on teams)
Assess learning goals
General method of instruction
Students in this course will work independently and with one another to contribute to the Husky Herald and gain journalism skills. The instructor provides guidance in person and online.
Students will produce journalistic products (article and web). These will be pitched to, coordinated with, and submitted to the newspaper's editors, as well as turned into the instructor. Articles conduct peer critiques on the work of other students, and then they are expected to build on these peer critiques and self-assess their own journalistic products. Some Husky Herald activities and meetings are required. Students are very involved in their learning, beginning with a written learning plan turned in at week 2 and then evaluated at the end of the quarter.
Students will conduct peer-critiques of news/feature articles. These demonstrate the class' fundamental skills.
Students will learn and develop fundamental skills in reporting and writing (e.g. interviewing, story formats), editing and peer-critique (e.g. style guides, grammar, news judgment, media law), and news organization strategies (e.g. meeting deadlines, pitching stories, working on teams) through their involvement in and leadership of weekly class discussions and in- and out-of-class exercises. This will involve researching, reading, preparing for, and contributing to weekly discussions and exercises. It also involves preparing for and leading class discussions and exercises (that may be done in or out of class)
Students will create a learning plan to achieve these learning goals at the beginning of the quarter and an assessment of achieving these learning goals at the end of the quarter.
Recommended preparation
Students are asked to prepare a cover letter and provide a writing sample prior to enrolling. Students are expected and encouraged to supplement course learning with university services and guides. As part of the course, students will do one Writing Center Self-Assessment and Consultation.
Class assignments and grading
(See general method of instruction)
Students will receive credit for the course through evidence of their reporting, writing, editing, peer-critique, and organizational strategies that meet recognized journalism and educational standards.

Statutory holidays: 25
Public holidays: 11
In Sweden, employees are entitled to 19 days of paid annual leave after nine months of employment and 25 days after a year on the job. The country also mandates 11 hours of rest between shifts and has strict limits on the number of overtime hours employees may work - with a maximum of 50 overtime hours a month permitted over a period of four months.
Public holidays in Sweden are often referred to as "red days," printed in red on most calendars. It's common for some businesses to shut operations at noon the day before a holiday.
Despite such generous benefits, the country has an unemployment rate of just 6.9 percent, lower than the European Union average of 9.8 percent in October 2011. Sweden is home to such global giants as Ikea, H&M and Ericsson.

Left Justified: How to win the war in Afghanistan
By Stanley Campbell
You can't win the war in Afghanistan.
Now, before you turn away, please hear me out.
I thought it was extraordinary how our CIA and Defense Department allied themselves with various warlords and quickly rolled over the Taliban government. Too bad they couldn't catch Osama bin Laden, but our leaders were already too busy eyeing Iraq.
We should have, and could have, followed former Secretary of State Colin Powell's suggestion of taking a different, non-military tack. Our country, so wounded, yet never stronger in the eyes of the world, might have hammered together a plan to end terrorism once and for all, use economic (not military) means, setting up an international force to police the world.
Fat chance. Too bad.
Our new young black president, instead of staying in Afghanistan, should have announced we'll capture bin Laden, then leave. Hell, the Taliban might have served Osama up to us.
And we might have been able to finally bring the troops home. But our leaders have a different idea—more war.
When in Vietnam, I heard of a plan for winning that foolish war: Round up all the natives who support the U.S., and put them on boats. Then, flatten the country, even using nuclear weapons. Then, sink the boats. A sick joke, but that was a sick war. Unfortunately, the same could be said of Afghanistan.
Yes, we could try to build up the government, or build schools all over the countryside, or have three cups of tea with every village elder. But the military can't do that.
Our warriors can kick anybody's butt, but they should not be expected to occupy another's country, unless we teach our troops Pashtun (and every other language in that region), convert them all to Islam, and move their families there as well.
You want to occupy Afghanistan, Iraq and even Iran? Fine, you move there. Happy Holy Daze.

I know I am a cynic. I also know that many of the bottles of prescription pain drugs that leave a pharmacy are destined to be sold or abused by the individual who left with them. BTW, many of those filled scripts were paid for by Medicaid. The Pharmaceutical companies can do anything they want to those pills, and it will not be a deterrent. The only way to stop abuse is to stop prescribing. There are doctors well known to every pharmacist and drug seeker. The DEA should have no trouble tracking them, through the narcotic registries adopted by more and more states. Would a drug smuggling trade develop to fill the void? Probably. Would it be as ruthless as the cocaine, heroin and marijuana trade? Probably. Is there an answer?.
its time for a law mandating all chronic opiate users, defined as >30 days use of any narcotic opiate, have to be urine drug screened for compliance. It takes the guess work out of who's who, who's at risk, who's not taking, and who's diverting. It also would help reduce that awkward moment of patients feeling you're accusing them of misuse/diverstion, as we'd get to blame the "law" and say, sorry, NO TEST=NO MEDS by law. "you're choice to comply or not" and they also can't go across town as the rule is the same..

More and more college coaches are starting to discover that Columbia (Mo.) Rock Bridge is hardly a one trick pony.
Most of the national attention has been focused on blue-chip quarterback Logan Gray early on, but Rock Bridge's tight end Aron White has been one of the Midlands' hottest prospects in the month of May.
After an impressive display in the one-on-ones and the 7-on-7 competition at last week's Greater Kansas City Football Combine, White has been the center of attention from many new programs. He said schools like Notre Dame are starting to show more and more interest, plus he's also picked up several new impressive offers, according to his coach.
Article Continues Below
"Aron recently picked up new offers from Nebraska, South Carolina and N.C. State," Rock Bridge coach A.J. Ofodile said. "His stock might be the hottest in the state of Missouri."
White said he plans on attending the NIKE Training Camp in Gainesville, Fla., this upcoming Saturday with Gray, and he also has plans to attend camps at both Kansas State and Duke.
He does not have a time table for when his decision will be and it could be interesting to follow his progress along with his teammate and close friend.
"There's a chance we could end up together, and that would be a good thing," White said last week after the combine. "But we both have to do what's best for us."

Van Helsing - Review Roundup #3
by Couchpotato, 2013-06-03 00:05:47
Here we are with what we will be my final posting of reviews for The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.
GameSpot - 7.5/10
Lack of community aside, Van Helsing's only real problem is that it doesn't go the extra mile. Nothing is particularly spectacular, but Neocore's latest game is a tight adventure with a few blemishes here and there, and it will keep fans of the genre enthralled for quite a while, especially if they can rustle up some friends to come along for the ride.
IncGamers - 7/10
In single player, Van Helsing is a part-traditional, part-peculiar action-RPG with an endearingly silly plot and just enough vocal flair to carry it off. The restriction of a lone melee/ranged class (and the current lack of a 'new game plus') means that there probably isn't a great deal of replay value for those who like to obsess about endless character builds, but for around $15 USD you'll get 12-15 click-filled hours of substantive looting.
Games.on.net - No Score
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing has its issues, but they feel comparable to those of most developers after their first attempt at making an Action-RPG. It is great to look at, fun to play, but lacking in a few minor areas such as core replayability and a balanced skill system. The game has a lot of potential, and it is very possible that this is the start of something beautiful… something you might want to be a part of.
The Digital Fix - 7/10
Being a budget indie game, at under half the price of a standard release, we can certainly give The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing far more slack than is possible to give to those cold giants at Blizzard, however that being said it is a shame that Neocore have not used their indie freedom to create a game with a touch more originality. With all things considered we can say at the very least that the game is beautifully presented, with a vibrant and stylised world to explore, all of which runs on surprisingly low-spec machines. The characters are intriguing, particularly the role of the ghost Katerina, and the action is challenging if rather repetitive. So, if you are disconnected from Diablo III, destroyed Dungeon Siege III, trounced your way through Torchlight (including its sequel) and are still craving more bloodshed then The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing will provide at least a dozen hours of extra entertainment for a relatively small investment. Sadly however in no way does it redefine the genre.
Hardcore Gamer - 4/5
The Adventures of Van Helsing is an excellent game that deserves to be played by those looking for an extremely well written experience and for fans of old school RPGs everywhere. With a game length that puts many AAA developers to shame, NeoCore Games punched well above their weight and succeeded where so many indie games have failed in the past.
Quarter to Three's Tom Chick - 2/5
Van Helsing also has a set of perks he can pick among because, well, it was pretty cool in Fallout so there's no reason it shouldn't be here. I mostly admire that Neocore is willing to mix some Fallout and Orcs Must Die into my Diablo. If they'd gotten more Diablo in there, I might still be playing.
