Al-Qaeda-linked fighters have besieged some areas in the northwestern Syrian province of Aleppo and are readying to storm the village of al-Atareb nearby, Al Arabiya News Channel reported activists as saying on Friday.
The activists also reported that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have attacked a Doctors Without Borders hospital in the city of Latakia, detaining its entire staff body.
There are five foreign doctors who work in the hospital, according to activists.
The monitoring opposition group, the Syrian Network for Human Rights, said at least 49 people were killed after Syrian forces shelled several cities and towns in Homs, Aleppo, Daraa and the capital, Damascus on Thursday.
Meanwhile, sources in the Syrian Islamic Front, a merger of seven Islamist rebel groups, described a statement by ISIL authorizing the killing of its fighters and the Free Syrian Army as "fabricated," Al Arabiya News Channel reported on Thursday.
In its alleged statement, ISIL had threatened the al-Tawhid brigade, Jaysh al-Islam or Army of Islam and the FSA with revenge and death.
In an interview with Al Arabiya News Channel, Sheikh Marwan al-Qadiri, assistant secretary-general of the Syrian Scholars Association, said that the ISIL's alleged statement is "unreliable," stressing that if the statement was proven to be true, it would be a grave mistake.
Al-Qadiri said legitimizing the killing of an entire group is "illogical," and "illegal."
He also urged ISIL to be more logical in its publically declared statements.
In a show of further splintering between opposition groups, the main group, the Syrian National Coalition, accused ISIL of "serving" President Bashar al-Assad's interests, and hijacking the uprising that has killed more than 130,000, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory of Human Rights.

Is the Internet erasing national borders? Will the future of the Net be set by Internet engineers, rogue programmers, the United Nations, or powerful countries? Who's really in control of what's happening on the Net?
In this provocative new book, Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu tell the fascinating story of the Internet's challenge to governmental rule in the 1990s, and the ensuing battles with governments around the world. It's a book about the fate of one ideathat the Internet might liberate us forever from government, borders, and even our physical selves. We learn of Google's struggles with the French government and Yahoo's capitulation to the Chinese regime; of how the European Union sets privacy standards on the Net for the entire world; and of eBay's struggles with fraud and how it slowly learned to trust the FBI. In a decade of events the original vision is uprooted, as governments time and time again assert their power to direct the future of the Internet. The destiny of the Internet over the next decades, argue Goldsmith and Wu, will reflect the interests of powerful nations and the conflicts within and between them.
While acknowledging the many attractions of the earliest visions of the Internet, the authors describe the new order, and speaking to both its surprising virtues and unavoidable vices. Far from destroying the Internet, the experience of the last decade has lead to a quiet rediscovery of some of the oldest functions and justifications for territorial government. While territorial governments have unavoidable problems, it has proven hard to replace what legitimacy governments have, and harder yet to replace the system of rule of law that controls the unchecked evils of anarchy. While the Net will change some of the ways that territorial states govern, it will not diminish the oldest and most fundamental roles of government and challenges of governance.
Well written and filled with fascinating examples, including colorful portraits of many key players in Internet history, this is a work that is bound to stir heated debate in the cyberspace community.
Here is an eye-opening history of the Internet describing how cyberspace, which we think of as a borderless community, is in fact nothing of the sort. Goldman (Harvard Law Sch.; The Limits of International Law) and Wu (Columbia Law Sch.) show how different nation-states and international organizations have shaped a local Internet experience based on their own prevailing societal values. Multinational corporations trying to sell online, such as Yahoo!, Ebay, and Dow Jones, have discovered quickly and painfully that they must abide by local standards. Otherwise, their online operations will be halted by governments and competitors using a variety of often far-reaching legal maneuvers and/or high-level technology filters. China, for instance, has a countrywide firewall, and many countries and regions employ geo-ID technologies that not only enable Internet companies to personalize content for local users but also assist in targeting and blocking unwanted content emanating from specific geographic areas. Perhaps the Internet will not connect the world as quickly as Thomas L. Friedman proposes in The World Is Flat. As controversial as Friedman's, this thought-provoking work is recommended for international law and e-commerce collections in colleges as well as public libraries.-Caroline Geck, Kean Univ., Union, NJ Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

There is no "low key" racism. Half the shit here is racist, outright, and the other half is sexist bullshit about how men are terrible and women are bitches. Especially black ones.
Yeah, like an hour ago there was this girl that posted a pic of 4 black girls and to those who didn't agree they were attractive, she went all nuts hating on white people.
That's not really low key, that's being blatantly racist, but she went anonymous for a reason, she's the type that will go low key when not going anon.
People like this are all around GAG.
You were the one being racist
HA! I knew you were the same girl XD
Shhh it's ok, racism can be cured, you just gotta acknowledge the problem :)
Oh snap, he found you out!
@VicarioVivere She's just a troll, anyways.
Damn MF right they are you just gotta "force" it out of them via trolling em (and watch the racial slurs spew) LOL.
You sound like a racist, so why are you mad?
@advice_guy20 "so why are you mad?" I'm mad cuz im fat, ugly and i have no friends (nobody likes me either)
Bro you fly as hell. I know you get them ladies 😉
@akadatank44 NO I dont and they all run from my ugly black ass >_<
Nah I doubt that. Just be yourself bro.
@akadatank44 I'm a creepy black guy that is scared of girls... so should I really be myself? ^_^
Lol!!! Approach them like they are just another human! Cuz thats what they are!
@akadatank44 I've tried that, when I say #Hi they say #Bye and I #Cry >_<
Just hi tho? Gotta be more than that
@akadatank44 before I can say anything else they tell me to fuck off basically...
Some perhaps are. I know I'm not. Doesn't matter whether you're black, Asian or normal, I like people of all colors.
A lot of people are blatantly racist.
I'm racist against racist people who are racist. Racistception?
Nah just kidding but racism is stupid, I mean seriously? You hate a person for their race?
You're going to find racism anywhere OP
yes, but not everyone who you think is racist actually is one
everyones a little racist even though they refuse to believe they are.
I think we all are racist in some form and at some point or the other without actually realizing it.
Are they racist
There is absolutely no discrimination when it comes to my life on GAG
I argue equally
I've noticed high key (anonymous trolls) and low key racist (your average user) on here.
i hate everyone equally :)
We must secure the existence of our people and a future for all American children

Don't look now, but there are racists everywhere, not just here.
Yes, there are some racists on here. Anyone who supports black lives matter is a racist. Even the white supporters of BLM are racist, but theyre racist against their own race.

It's not even lowkey. They're blatant as fuck about it.
Yes ಠ_ಠ
Replace some with, a lotttt. Yes. I also see quite a few low key white supremacists.
Just because you don't find someone attractive doesn't mean you're racist
I'm sure some are. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many dumb race questions.
I've noticed a variety, with a number of excuses as to why they are racists.
i guess i am racist sometimes
Calling them low key racist would be an understatement

Killzone: Shadow Fall's multiplayer, at least in terms of pacing, falls somewhere between Halo and Call of Duty.
except it looks 800% better, is 900% more badass, and there is no auto aim.
this will not in anyway be better then Halo or battlefiled online...sorry it's no where near that great looking gameplay wise..lol and you wonder why titanfall ( a worse looking game graphically ) got all the hype..it looks fun...
Delta guy, it looks like you just mashed keys on the keyboard and something incoherent came out. Likely another post moderators will let slide, as they seem to arbitrarily choose what trolling behavior they want to allow
That's my main issue with KZ in general...it is much, much more than just a pretty game, but when compared to other big shooters, it just is not as fun (IMO). Not that i haven't enjoyed it or anything, but it just does not quite play as smooth as other games. I am fully willing to bet that if KZ had not been such a graphical powerhouse that the gameplay alone would not carry it. Halo has become so much more popular because most people find it more engrossing and intense than KZ...and to be fair, KZ usually looks better graphically (halo 4 kinda made up some of that graphical diff). Any how, I really do not play either for much more than a month or two past release, as i spend my MP time with CoD.
@ Germrod
Guerrilla Games reinvented the series with new multiplayer mechanics, a built-from-the-ground-up engine, and helped shape the controller you will be using to be more precise and responsive, and you are going to write off Killzone: Shadowfall simply on the basis of a last-gen sentiment? You play Call of Duty a lot, so I can sort of see why you would adopt that mentality. You are used to a developer that doesn't do anything to improve the feel of their games, and caters to the lowest common denominator.
Please do not take offense to my comment as it is not intended as a personal attack on your preference. I just dislike Call of Duty for many reasons, just as you have a lower opinion of Killzone. I just think you should give Shadowfall a chance before writing it off.
KZ3 was awesome to play online and real fun. My only gripe is the lack of weapons and mods.
Even thought the other 4 games mentioned above are all shooters, they ALL play differently and ALL offer different experiences. We should just be glad that we get these different shooters to play.
Sorry but Deltaguy is right
Gameplay > Graphics
actually if you ask anyone who played KZ2 online for somr time they will tell that it's one of the best FPS and fun multiplayer ever made.
I bought BF: BC2 and it bored me to death but the fun and intensity from KZ2 was just too addictive to enjoy any "similar" experience next to.
That's my opinion, and also the opinion of many.
"feels like a mix between Halo and Call of Duty"
you know what
That's exactly what I thought when i saw a clip of the multiplayer about a week and a half ago.
I thought 'this looks like Halo! - the shield, the colour, the rocks, the layout of the map'
The sad thing is I didn't dare post it on n4g because I knew I'd get flamed for it.
Yet, here we are.
Looks like I am not the only one that made this observation.
How about not comparing games with each other? Killzone is Killzone, it always was awesome in it's own way.
I have to admit.. BF has one of the best multiplayer so far.. it has everything I need (except I would better see BF 1942 or Vietnam.. instead they are heading into future, there are way to many games nowdays with that future taste..)
Halo and COD is just way overrated.. they both are milked dry..
and I cant say nothing about KZ.. I never played PS4 and never tried KZ shadow fall multiplayer! I hope it will be badass!
Killzone 2's multiplayer shits on most MP games out there. It's easily better than CoD's and can compete with BF.
Halo, I'm not going to talk about, it used to be good up to 3, but now it's pretty bad.
"Killzone: Shadow Fall's multiplayer, at least in terms of pacing, falls somewhere between Halo and Call of Duty"
... LOL, the two games that Playstation fanboys hate the most.
EDIT: Actually i don't think Halo or Killzone are anything special. Average games way overhyped by fanboys and gaming media.
And xbox fanboys hate killzone... Guess that's why your here?
First of all, what are you doing in a PS4 exclusive article?
Second, there is hate for COD from the PC, Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation fanbase. And not caring for Halo is not the same as hate.

He doesn't know how Warzone functioning, he doesn't know which class have some abilities, he doesn't know which weapon is the best for some situation. He doesn't know there is no aim-assist or auto-aim. He knows nothing. :-D Well, he didn't played KZ2, so i presume he is a player for fast-paced shooters.
It seems Sony is still using those same images from E3 that look far better than the finished product. Anyone else notice the over-use of depth of field and fog? It looks to me that Sony has added these in order to reduce LOD so they can claim 1080p. All you have to do is look at the view distance in the most recent screenshots of Killzone. Add fog + reduce view by half = higher frame rates.
... I guess it never occurred to you that the images chosen were at the article's discretion, not Sony's.
Try downloading the ultrahigh bitrate video off Killzone.com It is absolutely beautiful. Sony doesn't have to hide a thing as Guerilla always pushes out amazing graphics.
depending what and what it's taken from halo and Cod, it could be a very good thing or a very bad thing. Not long before I get to find out for myself.
Wait a minute , I didn't know that Halo got auto-aim ?
When has killzone had a better multiplayer than halo?Come on you know your just bullshitting yourself with that statement.
Sounds like it will play very well then. I could never play Killzone 2 or 3 online because I hate 30fps and floaty controls. Now that's outta the way I'm ready!!
I agree to an extent, i didnt mind the weighty feel but yea going back to kz3 now the frame rate can be pretty bad. Also i always found it really noisy lol weird thing to moan about but just when you die and everyones crawling around making noise, just irritated me! Does this game still have the downed system where you can be revived?
Also kz3 lacked game modes so hopefully all these options in this game will add to this
till today I still don't get how some killzone fans pass off a visible delay (imputlag) as a weighty feel to killzone controls.
Battlefield has a sense of weight to it, yet no problems with control delays. I didn't play killzone 3 but I owned killzone 2 and I tried very hard to play a lot of that game but in the end I just could not get into it because of the delay.
everyone kept making out like it's normal, but it's the only game I have played that I can think of that has artificial imputlag passed off as "weighty feel".
I hope SF, does not have the same feel to the controls because that would instantly put me off it. other then that i am looking forward to trying it out.
what delay are you talking about? lol. I've played BF, KZ,COD, and a range of other FPS games, and by far Killzone had the most weight, you felt it on the character. I can't think of any other game that has made that sort of connection.
exactly my point.
if you played kz2 right from it's launch then you will know what I am talking about. You will also know that they patched it.
If you started playing it later on after the patch then of course you will not know what I am talking about at all.
Or you could just be one of those people I am talking who thought imputlag = weighty feel.
it was a big issue at the time, just google it.
KZ : SF has a almost the same weight feel like KZ2.
Floaty controls?.
I don't know which KZ game you played because KZ does not have floaty controls.
Ill wait for the reviews on this one, not wasting money like a did the piece of shit that was Killzone 3.
how dare you!!!! /s
Game was a piece of krap.
Killzone 2 on the other hand was my 2nd favorite Shooter this gen, but Sony Drones will dislike everything if it isn't Sony Is Awesome @[email protected]
YOu must not play many shooters TheRebel
Bioshock Infinite
Far Cry 3
THese were all faaaaaaaaaaaar superior shooters
lol no. Bioshock Infinite was bad in gameplay terms, Killzone 2 had the best multiplayer of its time.
Farcry 3 was a repetitive POS. Get past the flashy graphics and it got old real quick.
Bioshock on the other hand. Gold!
Got to admt though. I really enjoyed KZ2 MP. Was a lot of fun. KZ3 was a bit hit and miss for me. I actually had heaps more fun with the MP free beta than I did with the retail version lol.
Actually it was the other way around with me. I hated killedzone 2 but I liked killzone 3. Shadow fall looks way better gameplay wise, hopefully it will be.
I was messing with you on my first comment. But pretty much I never played 1 or 3 for Killzone. Played #2. It wasnt bad but also not as great as some make it.
It comes down to preference. I prefer larger scale action like MAG or Battlefield series.
Oh well... Targets got the buy two get one free. Bf4/ghosts/kzsf
So your PS4 launch is going to consist of 3 FPS's.
To each their own I guess, enjoy it.
O_o I'll be the judge rather than listening to what somebody says.
I thought the same thing everytime I saw the videos, idk why I just did. Loved playing Halo on the school computers with all my friends whenever the teacher wasn't in the room (he was in his office A LOT) Put in A LOT of hours into COD4 and MW2 (got over it after that) and KZ2 multiplayer was AMAZING! Unfortunately none of my friends had it.. I convinced them all to get this at launch tho! I can't wait!!
Offtopic: I am really on fence between getting a Vita or Xbox One this holiday season, "for my brother" so I need to know if remote play works while playing online, like KZ:Sf multiplayer, or does it just work on single player?? I am in no way comparing the two, I just need to know if it does work that way, i can't buy both unfortunately, not at this time.
Remote play works with every part of the game, get a vita you won't regret it ;)
And you will be getting free games for it with ps plus.
Thanks man :) I've had ps plus since it launched so I have so many vita games on there, so that is a BIG plus, but I am a gamer, and I want an Xbox One also. I recently got a job at the Microsoft store that is going to open here in Vegas soon so I would be getting some sort of discount on it according to the manager xD If remote play does work on all aspects of the game then, its a high chance ill be getting a Vita "for my brother" for Xmas :)
I will judge for myself this Friday as Greatness is just 4 days away.
"While I'm not that familiar with the Killzone franchise and have only played Killzone 3 for very brief periods of time, I feel like Killzone: Shadow Fall's multiplayer is a vast improvement over what I experienced with the series' predecessors."
He played very little of one game, but knows Shadow Fall is a vast improvement over both...?
"Its controls no longer feel floaty"
Couldn't have been playing Killzone...
"Through the game's Call of Duty-like loadout system, players can select different abilities and starting weapons."
He means Killzone-like system?
"Killzone: Shadow Fall is arguably Sony's system selling Halo-like first-person shooter."
But the only way it's ever been like Halo is its futuristic, sci-fi setting.
I feel like I read an article by this guy before about Killzone. He was as clueless then as he is now. I don't get it: how can you make claims and have them so off. And what kind of Halo matches was he playing where they moved slower than Killzone?
He didn't play Killzone 2, so his opinion is irrelevant.
In terms of pacing so does pretty much every FPS. COD being face paced and Halo slow.
Either way looks the most enjoyable KZ yet, gameplay and graphics wise.
In other words it's just another generic shooter. Shooters are so last gen.
Killzone looks stunning but I won't be getting it. There is two of us in my household and every FPS(her fav genre) needs to have split screen. If not she don't buy them. She only wants to play local multiplayer games but I also playing single player games that are not FPS.
Edit: spelling
Ughg, seeing through walls is over powered in multiplayer games. I hope they balance it better that 343 did with Halo 4
Amazon is shipping this game to me tomorrow, it would totally suck to have this game at home with no PS4 to play with. Hurry up Greatness, I'm tired of waiting.
I think you should only be able to ping enemies so you see their last-known locations. It would give you an approximation as to where they are, but if they are moving you wouldn't know where they are going to be next. You would have the ability to at least know how many foes are in the area, and it would eliminate campers because campers stay in a static location and would be found out with little trouble. Snipers should have the ability to mask their location with a jamming device, so as not to negate the strangths of choosing a sniper class.
There should also be a cooldown of 10 seconds or so between uses, so users just can't spam it constantly to refresh the location of opponents.
Ive watched tons of gameplay on this game on YouTube and the truth is from the looks,bdoesn't even come close to cod or even halo multiplayer wise. It's just another Killzone if you ask me "boring". Cod,bf,halo series always been and forever Will be better point blank.. Titanfall and destiny will also be, Killzone went from 4th best shooter to #6.
Only good thing about Killzone are them graphics I must admit looks beautiful.
It's a reason why they said it feels like a cod/halo. Never hear this, "new cod/halo/bf feels a lot like Killzone and it's a real reason for that".
I disagree. I have always loved the Killzone series and it's gameplay because it is unique. I used to love the Battlefield series, but after playing BF4 I just feel like the more it tries to compete with COD the more it actually becomes COD, especially in its campaign.Just my opinion.
I actaully agree with Halo being the better series though. With the exception of ODST and Reach as I def thought those were very weak entries in the franchise. Right now the Killzone series is my 2nd fave FPS franchise behind Halo. Although, after seeing Destiny and how amazing it looks, Halo and Killzone may be moving down a peg to make way for a new FPS king.
BF4 was pretty good. The problem is that the game was really not that much different from the last one. If you played battlefield 3 you already played battlefield 4.
Destiny is one to look out for. I think that game will surprise us all. Same with titanfall.
that's sad. i always loved the heavy controls and dirty atmoshphere ...
I'm glad the guy previewing this is an idiot or I might actually he worried that shadowfall takes too many elements from those ges and becomes another kz3.... Buuuuuuut it's all good both bf4 and cod have fallen way short of the hype and turned out meh. Shadowfall really don't have to do anything spectacular to run away with the fps crown this year it just needs to be a stable fun game
I like this Killzone better. It has a beautiful living breathing world. Some problems remains though.
I don´t like the idea that Killzone doesn´t have a flagship hero. I can´t stand Hellgeshs on the cover of every Killzone like they are this important. I mean, come on. Where´s my heroes?
Killzone was supposed to be a Halo Killer after all.
U serious?
The helghast are probably the more important faction in Killzone you clearly must not be into the deep story Killzone offers
Its not supposed to be a halo killer. CoD 4 killed halo in 2007. I wish they would make a story where you play as helghast.
I´m sorry. I know that Helghash was important. WAS important. To me, not anymore. Since Killzone: SF is all new, i was hopping to Guerrilla would come up with new threats as well.
Same goes to Halo 4, i was certain that after the events of the Halo 3, they also would come up with something new. But no. In Halo 4 the Covenant shows up as enemy. Again.
What? It was Guerrilla who say that. Back in 2004 when the original Killzone was released.

Cute Ballard Bungalow for Two
The Space
Our home is small and cozy. We have a comfortable living room where you can relax - read a book, have cocktails, or just watch Netflix in your pajamas. The neighborhood has many exceptional places to eat and drink, but if you like to cook, you are more than welcome to use the kitchen. We have a dining table and a small breakfast bar. There is only one bedroom that accommodates two just perfectly (there is a brand new Leesa mattress!). This space is best for couples or single travelers.
The Neighborhood
Our home is located in Ballard, the northwest part of Seattle. The location is fantastic, as there are many of the most notable restaurants and bars around (as well as places to get groceries in case you want to cook your own meals). This is a laid-back residential area, but everything you could want is within a short walk (or Uber, for the ultimate convenience). There is even a meditation center in the same block! For beer and wine, the selection at QFC (grocery store) is just a 10 minute walk. And if you are interested, Herb's House is about a 20 minute walk and has all of your "green" needs covered.
Getting around
There are buses that stop about 2 blocks away from home. You can reach downtown (going south), and the Woodland Zoo (going east) in about 35 mins. You can also transfer by bus to the light rail to get to the airport. It is not impossible to move around the city using public transport, but it is much faster if you go by car. We also recommend using Uber or Car2Go for the ultimate in convenience. We use both services ourselves quite frequently. :)
Other things to note
Please remember that you will be staying in a home, not a hotel. Therefore, we ask that you treat our space with the same respect you would show your own. We travel often and have help managing guest services for our home while we are away.
Our home has an electronic lock or lockbox located on or near the entrance.
Guest access
You will have full access to the house and property during your stay - including a small front patio where you can sit if the weather is nice!
Guest Interaction
Our home is professionally managed by Pillow, a property management service who specializes in short term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO. All key exchanges, cleaning, payments and maintenance will be handled by Pillow who is available 24 hours per day.
The Neighborhood
Ballard is one of the hottest neighborhoods in Seattle - and our house is within walking distance to everything!
Favorite spots in the area:
1) Cafe Besalu - Excellent french pastries, 8 minute walk. Try the Ginger Biscuit - it is heaven.
2) Honore Bakery - More ethereal french pastries and fantastic Lighthouse coffee. 15 minute walk. Although we would encourage you to order anything here, favorites are the ham & cheese croissant, plain croissant with jam, or a slice of quiche.
3) Cafe Munir - small neighborhood Lebanese restaurant with incredible food. Mostly small plates perfect for sharing. Call ahead to make a reservation, as it can be a busy place most nights.
4) Stoneburner - 15 minute walk - newer restaurant with solid cocktails, pizzas, charcuterie plates and fantastic farm fresh veggie dishes.
5) Walrus & Carpenter - 20 minute walk. Some of the best seafood in Seattle and recognized by Frank Bruni of the NYT! Always a wait, we recommend hanging out next door at Barnacle Bar - also phenomenal.
6) Ocho - 15 minute walk - Spanish tapas bar with great cocktails. A tiny but romantic spot, perfect for a first stop on an evening out in Ballard.
7) Olaf's - closest to the house (5 minute walk), a very comfortable local bar with a phenomenal rotating tap list (especially if you love IPAs). The menu is comfort food, but great quality using local ingredients. Our favorites are the Olaf's Burger & the Firecracker Chicken Sandwich. With tots, of course!
Getting Around
We are two blocks from the metro (bus) stop for Route 18 (commuter bus to downtown Seattle) or Route 40 (good tourist ride, as it takes you through Fremont which has some cute stores/restaurants and then on to downtown Seattle). We also live in a great neighborhood for biking, it's a 10 minute ride to the Burke Gilman Trail which is a great paved trail network that connects 60+ miles of bike trails.
Other Things to Note
We have basic cable with HBO as well as Chromecast and a Roku hooked up to the TV so that you can watch Netflix (through our account) or stream content from your own device to the Chromecast. There is one flat screen TV located in the living room.
We also have a bluetooth stereo in the living room (a Wren speaker, great quality) so you can stream right from your phone to the speaker to play your own music.
The Pillow team will be available for assistance via email.
Before and during your stay, you will have access to our mobile-friendly guest site that contains check-in instructions, access instructions, amenity details, FAQs, and a reporting tool for maintenance requests.
The codes needed to enter the property are available 48 hours prior to check-in in our online guest site.
Thank you in advance for respecting our house rules, they are very important to us. Please keep a reasonable volume so as to not disturb our neighbors, and do not invite other guests or have parties. We would appreciate it if you wash any dishes you use during your stay. Please leave the house in the same condition you found it as when you first arrived. You will be staying at a Pillow Homes approved property and guests are required to follow the Pillow rules and terms.

text: LauncherPro does a lot of great things, but there are a couple that it missed the boat on. Dislikes: -Limited customizability with app shortcuts in Dock (should be drag and drop!) -No ability to use skins, themes, etc -App drawer is a little awkward at times -3D drawer only works in Portrait (still pretty cool though) -Similar to Helix launcher (which I DO like) Likes -Ability to customize far more than most Launchers/Homes --App drawer speed, size, and appearance customizations (including 3D, nexus one 2.1 style!) --Home screen scroll speed --Dock APPEARANCE -Very smooth -Better than default -Up to seven home screens (fairly standard now in launcher apps) -Hide Notification bar Sum it up! So this app really kicks some butt, especially considering that it's only beta. I hope to see only one thing fixed (the dock drag and drop) when it comes out in full force! Would I use this app? Well I currently do! bLbH UPDATE: So, after further review I've realized that my comment about the dock was short-sided. Turns out you CAN put whatever you want on the dock, it's just kind of roundabout. Another issue I've discovered: Long-pressing on the applications no longer lets you move apps from the drawer to the home screen. To do this, you must go through the same roundabout process from above. This in mind, this is an outstanding out!

January 2017 - Norwegian Gem to Caribbean - Eastern
The ship was recently refurbished and lovely. Food upgraded and excellent. Service always outstanding. Our 7th trip on the Gem. Didn't realize the size problem from the deck plan and suffered the consequences. We are both six footers but had no issues before. (See below.)
Other than that, it was a great trip, as usual.

It's one thing to be called a genius. Like, "Hey. You inserted that USB cord right side up on the first try. You must be some kind of genius!" It's another thing altogether to receive a MacArthur "Genius Grant." It comes with a lot more credibility. Writer and grant recipient George Saunders—whose insightful, hilarious writings are featured in the New Yorker, Harper's, McSweeney's, and GQ— comes to town to read from his latest collection of short stories, The Tenth of December, at Lincoln Hall.

BEATLES UK - Sgt Pepper's 'Fourth Proof' Mono LP.PMC 7027 – Original Blackand Yellow Parlophone label. An original UK pressing in original condition featuring the rarest known variant of this remarkable record. This unique variant of this remarkable album features effectively a pre- production sleeve. After the first Three ' Proof ' sleeves, these ' Fourth Proof ' sleeves were passed around at EMI for final agreement. It is believed that only 40 – 50 ' Fourth Proof ' sleeves were ever printed !. As these sleeves were ' Proof ' copies they were NEVER meant to be released to the general public, but a small number of these ' Fourth Proof ' sleeves DID find their way onto the public market !. These ' Fourth Proof ' sleeves have a number of unique printing differences from the final agreed production sleeves: 1. a ' FOURTH PROOF ' and a ' A R ' and ' D 13217 ' appear printed on the top flipback on the inner gatefold of the sleeve. There is a story about this that the old style of ' visual ' flipbacks were on the way out and that ' Sgt Pepper ' was to feature the new ' inner ' flipback design. It was therefore thought that the above text would NOT be seen !. Apparently the ' A R ' stands for the designers initials and the ' D 13217 ' is the internal catalogue number for the printers of the ... read more

Would you be into "Wild 'n Out" again?
Nick Cannon has made a name for himself in the TV show hosting department. Most recently, the funnyman has been gracing the stage on "America's Got Talent," though he's looking to revert back to one of his older shows, "Wild 'n Out."
MTV is apparently on board with the idea and Cannon will be returning to host the improv comedy show, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Cannon originally starred in and created the show in 2005 and it aired until 2007. He admitted to the news source that fans come up to him all the time asking if and when "Wild 'n Out" will be coming back, he's glad to give them an answer.
"I get asked everyday when Wild 'n Out will be back. I'm thrilled to announce that the show will be making its long-awaited return very soon - bigger and better," Cannon told the publication. "With our show's original cast, everyone from Kevin Hart to Katt Williams, Affion Crockett and Taran Killam becoming household names, I am looking forward to working with MTV2 as we work to introduce the biggest comedic stars of tomorrow with the return of Wild 'n Out."
Would you watch the new version? Where you a fan of the original show?

Mormon theology and Mr. Deity
This comment deserves highlighting
Ben Goren
Posted August 16, 2013 at 7:56 am | Permalink
Either the woman was raped or not; either she's truthful or a liar.
If a liar, no more need be writ.
But if she was raped, her failure to get immediate medical attention and file a police report combined with her subsequent decision to try the case in the court of public opinion could not have been better calculated to be ineffective at protecting potential future victims and to ensure that justice is not done.
Yes, I understand that rape is a horrible crime — apparently, I understand this much better than you do. But, horrible as rape is, this alleged victim is supposedly a competent adult, and competent adults have crystal-clear duties when witnessing violent crimes, including as a victim. Merely being victimized does not absolve you of those responsibilities — else, by definition, the responsibilities wouldn't exist. As soon as the immediate threat has passed, you call the police (or your own lawyer to speak to the police on your behalf). Period, full stop, end of story. The only exception is police corruption or complicity, which I've yet to hear alleged.
Failure to report violent crime makes you an accomplice, and accomplices are practically the archetypes of antisocial jerkwad lame losers. And, oh-by-the-way, they're also criminals, with the same criminal responsibility as the perpetrator.
Rape is no different from any other violent crime. Attempts by the pseudo-feminist crowd such as the A+ movement epitomizes to somehow differentiate it by excusing victims from the civic responsibility of reporting it to the police and fully engaging in the prosecution of perpetrators (because, gee, the poor widdle girl was too scared somebody might hurt her fweewings) are about as antisocial — and, in particular anti-woman — as it gets.
Let's say PZ sincerely believes the woman's allegations. He also failed in his own civic duties. He should have told the woman that this needs to be reported to the police this very instant, and have offered to acted as her champion in that process. As an undergraduate professor at a public university, and somebody who therefore should be expected through training or experience to know how to deal with reports by vulnerable young women of sexual assault, PZ's decisions to report the allegations to the blogosphere rather than the police are even more reprehensible than the woman's own failures in her civic duties. And, of course, if PZ doesn't sincerely believe the allegations, then he really deserves the legal reaming he's likely about to get.
The mere fact that we're learning of the allegations from some random squid blog rather than from the publication of an arrest warrant (or, better yet, an actual arrest) tells you all that you need to know: this has nothing whatsoever to do with crime and justice. What it actually has to do with should be obvious, but is best left as an exercise for the reader to discern.
I've been reading a bit about Mormon theology for my book, and that theology is not only plenty weird, but a major part of it has been decisively disproven by modern genetics, archaeology, and linguistics. (One of my theories, which is mine, is that the closer in time to the present day a theology arose, the weirder it looks. Really, Mormon theology is no weirder than Christian or Hindu theology, and Scientology seems ridiculous largely because we were alive when it was made up.)
An important part of Mormon theology is the contention that the ancestors of Native Americans were in fact Israelites who migrated to the Americas from the Middle East about 2,600 years ago in the form of two tribes: the Nephites and the Lamanites. About a millennium later, their descendants had a big war, with the Lamanites wiping out every Nephite but one. That survivor was Moroni…

This phone is from the Gods. Running marshmallow now. Now i can install 16gb of apps using sd card.
This used to be my phone from mid-2012 up until early 2015, before switching to the Xperia L, before recently switching to the iPhone 5S. Having spent a huge amount of time on this phone, here are some tips I could give:
1. Stay on Gingerbread - LWW works best on that OS.
2. Don't be afraid to try out different ROMs (and kernels, for that matter); there are a lot of 'em.
3. Always have Flashtool at the ready.
4. 1GHz of processor speed and 512 MB of RAM may not look so good on paper, but this phone is actually very good in terms of performance - yes, that includes gaming (especially on Gingerbread).
5. Take good care of your device. This was my very first smartphone, and it's still performing great up until today.
COPPER IV, 18 Dec 2015My live with Walkman refuses to download anything or updates any application from Google play ... moreFirst: excuse my bad english.
There is an app that let you move the apps to the microSD card, freeing the phone's internal memory. For better results, you ca root your phone, but it is not always neccesary.
You must download the app from other source than Play Store.
The following applies to Android 2.3
1. In Settings, Applications, mark Unknown sources.
2. In a Internet Browser, search "jumobile System App Remover apk"
3. Find the apk,
4. Donwload it on the microSD card, (not in the phone's internal memory).
5. Install the apk.
I purchased this phone on December 2011 as a birthday gift to myself and until now it never fails to amuse me..It's tough and so efficient. The camera has it's own unique clarity compared to the other phone nowadays with only 5 mega pixel..It's sounds system was also a superb edge on this phone..Too bad I can't find another one like this here in my country..For me, it's a very unique phone to must have..:)
I used this phone close to 5 years and really its awsome. worth the money spent.

Gentle Readers east and west, I owe all of you an apology. I did not consciously plan to copy an e-mail about a meeting in a town called Danville and paste it into a draft just before the timer on the public-access computer shut down. I thought I was pasting a link to something else I wanted to check out, after the computer restarted. And I didn't tell the computer to publish it. I didn't have permission to publish it and apologized to the sender for letting it be seen at all. Nevertheless, here is what went public last week...in fine print, so those who don't really want to read the whole thing can scroll past it. (Those who do want to read the whole thing should be able to use CTRL-+ to enlarge it.)
"I am sending out a reminder that the Danville 2030 Draft General Plan and SAP Planning Commission meeting will be held on;
"I am sending out a reminder that the Danville 2030 Draft General Plan and SAP Planning Commission meeting will be held on;
When: Dec 11th at 7:30pm
Where: Danville Community Center – next to the library
420 Front Street
Vote in the On Line Poll at Halfway to Concord. The question is Should ABAG be abolished??? Vote YES!!! http://www.halfwaytoconcord.com
We need another BIG turnout! We will be protesting out in front starting at 6:30pm. If you want to come early and protest with us that would be great. If not, just stop by and get a sign to hold up during the meeting. We will have signs for everyone to hold up with different slogans. We need to have everyone hold them up during the meeting so that the Planning Commission gets a clear visual message of our opposition to ABAG, stack and pack housing, low income redistribution and the One Bay Area plan. Feel free to make your own signs.
This is a 20 year plan that will FOREVER change Danville! The entire town of Danville has been designated as a PDA (Priority Development Area) by the former council and approved by ABAG. This designation puts a bullseye on our town for redevelopment. Over the next 20 to 30 years the entire downtown will be rezoned to allow high density stack and pack housing at a minimum of 20+ units per acre. Many of these units will be designated as affordable units, which ranges from very low, low to moderate income based tax payer subsidized housing. The town planners and council will tell you that NOTHING will change the look and feel of our town, but that is a lie!!! Once this plan goes through and they adopt the One Bay Area Sustainable communities strategy which is a regional blue print from ABAG we will be forced to follow the plan or we; 1. ABAG will withhold transportation dollars from us and 2. We will get sued by Social Justice groups to force very low and low income housing into our communities! Do NOT be fooled. The city will rezone. This cycle they are only rezoning 10 acres, but every 8 years they will have to find areas within the PDA to accommodate more high density housing and they will rezone more. So you see, the transformation will happen over time and by the time people start objecting it will be too late. As citizens of Danville you MUST Stop the PDA designation of your town and the adoption of these zoning plans before this 2030 plan is in place. If not, you probably won't be able to stop this train. Get your friends to come and oppose this.
If you cannot attend the meeting, but would like to object to the urbanization of Danville please send your comments to Kevin Gailey, Chief of Planning at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you want to comment at the meeting make sure you do the following: When you go into the meeting grab a comment card. Fill it out with your name and Danville Resident. You DO NOT have to specify your address. Technically you don't even have to tell them your name, but you need to put something down so that they will call you to speak. Then give it to the clerk at the front of the meeting. There is a public comment period at the beginning of the meeting. Anyone who wishes to speak on any topic not covered on the Agenda can speak then. You can also speak at both the public comment and the agendized portion of the meeting. Typically you have three minutes. If you need more ask someone to loan you there minutes. If you do not turn in a card you can still speak. After everyone has been called who turned in a form just stand up and say you would like to speak. They have to let you speak. They CANNOT deny you a chance to be heard. It is so important to speak up at these meetings! If you come and do not want to speak please hold a sign up during the meeting. What we need to do is show a forceful overwhelming opposition to their plan. If Alamo residents want to come they can just hold signs in the crowd. We need all the help we can get to stop this. The people of Alamo will be negatively impacted with increased traffic and through our shared school system by all of this. Thank you and pass this on to your friends.
Here are just some of the items you can comment on. The draft 2030 Plan, SAP and EIR are available to review at: www.danville.ca.gov/planning
Ask City Council and Planning Commission to do the following re: Danville 2030 Plan, SAP (Sustainable Action Plan) and the EIR:
1. Remove the ABAG PDA (Priority Development Area) designation from the town of Danville because Danville is not TPP (Transit Priority Project) eligible. PDAs are and TPPs are defined in SB375 as being within ½ mile of a major transit hub or major transit corridor, which Danville clearly is NOT.
2. Cancel Danville's membership with ABAG. Since cities are not obligated in any way to belong to this regional COG we are asking Danville to cancel it's membership and stop paying dues to this unelected, unaccountable agency. We want local control!
3. Remove all specifications of the One Bay Area plan and EIR from the Danville 2030 Draft Plan, EIR and SAP as the One/Plan Bay Area is not complete, certified and has not gone through the EIR process or been adopted by the Regional COG. SB375, page 2 clearly states that local municipalities do not have to comply and our general plans DO NOT have to be consistent in any way. The town of Danville is being irresponsible by adding un-adopted and unnecessary policies into a 20 year general plan.
4. Get your town to cancel its membership with ICLEI and stop paying dues to this International NGO.
5. We want local control. We do not want unelected, unaccountable bodies like ABAG dictating how and where we will live in the future.
6. We do NOT want to be forced to have high density housing and subsidized low and very low income housing in our community. We want to make our own decisions.
7. Adding high density housing to Danville will severely impact the quality of life of the current residents; increased traffic, congestion.
8. There is NO provision in this plan for mitigating the impacts on air quality when adding hundreds of units downtown.
9. Where is the financial analysis on the impact to our schools, safety and fire?
10. SB375 clearly states that our local plan does not have to be consistent so why are we incorporating an incomplete and un-adopted plan?"
As those who read the whole thing will notice, although the comments are things many Tea Partiers might say in town meetings, the time, date, and agenda obviously relate to a town called Danville in California.
I didn't even know there was a Danville in California, so it surprised me that this e-mail came from California. There is a Danville in Virginia, which is also the home of an active Tea Party...and their meeting will be this afternoon:
"There will be a Tea Party meeting in Danville at Mary's Diner, 1203 Piney Forest Road, Monday evening, December 10th, 7:00PM. Come early, have dinner, then join us upstairs.

Ume Plum Seasoning Gluten Free ingredients: Japanese ume plums (83%), sea salt (16%), red shiso (perilla) leaves (1%).
This tart, tangy seasoning adds a refreshing zest to salad dressings, cooked vegetables, creamy tofu dips and spreads.
Use in place of vinegar, remembering that due to its inherent saltiness, any salt in the recipe will need to be reduced or eliminated.
Ume Plum Seasoning is the juice from the pickling of umeboshi, salt-pickled plums, and is popular in Japan, but its qualities have yet to be fully appreciated in the West. Once sampled, though, it is likely to become an essential store cupboard staple..

ThereŌĆÖs a plot to Mystika 3: Awakening of the Dragons, but honestly? ItŌĆÖs not one that youŌĆÖll probably pay much attention to. ThereŌĆÖs something about the world being in danger, and elemental eggs needing to be rescued from thieves, but really, that's not what you're going to remember. Instead, itŌĆÖs the sense of enjoyment that comes from the many Match-3 style levels that will entice you into coming back for more.
Each Mystika 3 level follows a familiar, but fairly satisfying pattern. Tiles are scattered across a board, with some having colored backgrounds. Your aim is to clear all of the color. This is done by matching tiles on top of the colored areas. ItŌĆÖs a simple idea, but one that can be quite tricky. This is partly because some areas require multiple swaps to fully clear the tile. Also, some areas are tricky to get to, meaning you have to plan accordingly to get to that last tricky tile.
Sometimes, the game mixes things up a little, requiring you to clear specific tiles in order to unlock cages. ItŌĆÖs mostly the same, but it requires some adjustment to your strategies.
Mystika 3: Awakening of the Dragons throws in some typical Match-3 elements, such as the ability to create power-ups. This is done through matching 4 or 5 tiles at once. Matching 4 produces a small power-up that can clear a small area, while 5 creates a bomb that explodes, destroying a substantial part of the board. Other bonuses can also appear, enabling you to clear all of one type of tile. Again, itŌĆÖs a familiar concept, but Mystika 3: Awakening of the DragonsŌĆÖs ability to keep things fast paced ensures it doesnŌĆÖt feel stale. You can even match tiles while others are still falling, enhancing that urge to do things more quickly.
As you play, you earn coins which can be used to buy small upgrades outside of each level. These tend to be things like a coin boost every few stages or extra lives. TheyŌĆÖre not huge boosts, but they all help in making you feel like youŌĆÖre getting somewhere.
Lives are somewhat useful, as once in a while you have to use your Match-3 skills in battle. Instead of simply clearing colored tiles, youŌĆÖre set the task of unleashing spells at a huge enemy. Collect up plenty of red wizard hats, for instance, and you can use them to cast a fireball spell. Collect water, and you can ŌĆśfreezeŌĆÖ your enemy. New spells are unlocked through spending money so, again, thereŌĆÖs another reason to earn as much as you can. ThereŌĆÖs not a huge amount of strategy to these stages, but theyŌĆÖre a little more exciting than the conventional means of play.
Mystika 3: Awakening of the Dragons also intersperses the Match-3 action with some other familiar casual gaming modes.
For example, you occasionally have to solve Hidden Object scenes. These arenŌĆÖt particularly taxing, but they go some way to breaking up the potential monotony of the game just being about Match-3. ItŌĆÖs a similar case for point-and-click scenes. TheyŌĆÖre not as memorable as the fun youŌĆÖll have matching tiles, but theyŌĆÖre a nice enough distraction.
Overall, Mystika 3: Awakening of the Dragons is a quite satisfying, though ultimately familiar Match-3 experience. Fast-paced in nature, it will draw you in for longer than youŌĆÖd expect, even if youŌĆÖre starting to tire of the genre. ItŌĆÖs a game that reminds you of when Match-3 can go well, and its moments of different challenges further enhances the fun that can be had. It should last you quite a while too, thanks to its 200 levels.

Product Description
Well, one thing is obvious; you haven't seen too many all-in-one systems like this before. As a complete Audio/Visual mounting solution, the Amped Seismic Universal Flat Panel TV and AV Wall Track has engineering brilliance masked by a designer finish. It's the perfect system to use when you have a new or refurbished Home Theatre room with blank walls - you won't have to buy a bulky stand or have your carpenter build custom cabinetry. For maximum space in the room and an elegant 'floating' appearance, the Amped Seismic AV Wall rack is second to none.
Affixed to a single stud (or brick/concrete wall), it can hold up to a 60" LCD or Plasma flat screen TV plus your choice of two accessories on the included shelves - such as a Blu-ray player and your amplifier or console. Component height isn't a problem for anything, because the TV bracket and both shelves can be positioned anywhere along the 1.2 metre extruded aluminum alloy track for a perfect fit.
Cables are also hidden away behind removable sliding panels which are sectioned for easy access to all devices. The TV bracket is lockable for safety and security, and the whole thing assembles with just a couple of tools. You get all the spacers, masonry plugs, screws and bolts you need, plus a handy drilling template and easy to follow instructions. Amped has really thought of everything here, and they'll set a new benchmark for what you expect from all your future furniture and accessories purchases.
Did I mention how good this thing looks? In the flesh, it's a perfect blend of silver and off-white accents with black-backed tempered glass shelving which effortlessly makes your black and silver components looks absolutely stunning. Add in set of wall-mounted speakers or even a good set of floor standing super-speakers and you'll have a living room or home theatre everyone will be jealous of. Thanks, Amped!

Installation Notice: Cable Chick strongly recommends that all Mounts & Brackets be installed by a qualified professional.

Sergio Perez: "I had to keep up the pace and I knew the Red Bulls were coming."
Sahara Force India's returned to the podium this evening as Sergio Perez scored a brilliant third place in the Bahrain Grand Prix. Nico Hulkenberg was close behind in fifth place bringing the team's points total to 44 and moving the team up to second place in the constructors' championship.Red Bulls were coming. In the end we managed to stay ahead and score this very special result in only my third race with the team. I also had a great fight with my teammate during the whole race. When he got ahead of me after the first stop, I tried to keep my head down to get back ahead. I managed to do that when we were fighting with the Williams and that was the crucial moment."
Tyre strategy: Used Softs (16 laps) - Used Softs (18 laps) - New Mediums (23 laps)
Nico Hulkenberg (VJM07-04 - P5): "It's a great day for the team and I'm very happy for the guys. The battle with Checo was very clean and fair, and when you're fighting for the podium you give everything but always stay within the lines. It was good fun. The end of the race was hard because I had to battle from the moment the safety car came in until the end of the race. I was behind Checo and I felt I had a little more pace, but I was in dirty air and that caused me to struggle towards the end. I held back Ricciardo for as long as I could and I managed to stay ahead of Vettel. It's a great achievement for the team and we've shown once again that we are competitive so hopefully we can keep up the momentum in China."
Tyre strategy: New Softs (15 laps) - New Softs (20 laps) - New Mediums (22 laps)
Vijay Mallya, Team Principal and Managing Director: "Today is one of the greatest days in the history of our team. It's been a long time coming, but it's very satisfying to see Sahara Force India back on the podium after so many near misses in recent years. We have a great driver line-up and today we saw both Checo and Nico at their best as they battled for a place on the podium. Without the safety car our two-stop strategies would have been much more comfortable because we faced a strong assault from the Red Bulls in the closing stages. Nico did a fantastic job to keep them back for so long and hold on to fifth place. It gave Checo the breathing space he needed to secure third place. So I'm extremely proud of everyone in the team and congratulate all of them on this achievement. 2014 is a new chance and we have shown we're moving forward in Australia, Malaysia and here. I couldn't be happier."

Can Republicans increase their ranks of governors? Four races to watch.
With only 11 races for governor this year, there's no big sea change to anticipate. Republicans hope to add to the 29 states under their banner, but analysts say they are unlikely to gain enough to top the record 34 states the party held back in the early 1920s, when there were only 48 states.
Utah, North Dakota, and Indiana are widely expected to stay under GOP control; Vermont and Delaware, Democratic. Missouri and West Virginia have closer races but lean toward remaining Democratic, analysts say. The remaining four races, all in states with Democratic governors, are the ones to watch: Washington, New Hampshire, and Montana, which are "too close to call," and North Carolina, which is poised to make a historic shift to Republican control.
Material from the Associated Press was used in this report.
1. North Carolina
North Carolina tended to vote Republican in presidential elections for decades until Barack Obama turned it into a swing state in 2008, but Democrats have held the governor's office for the past 20 years.
"If you are looking at states that are the biggest prizes in terms of governorships this year, North Carolina has to be at top of that list," says Mike Schrimpf, a spokesman for the Republican Governors Association.
Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, the Republican candidate, leads in the polls by about 10 percentage points over Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, a Democrat.
Mr. Dalton had a competitive primary after the unpopular Gov. Beverly Perdue decided not to seek reelection. He has had a hard time keeping up with the fund-raising and building the name recognition that Mr. McCrory enjoys, having already run for governor in 2008.
McCrory's "really selling himself as a pragmatic can-do problem solver … [with] no hard ideological edges," says Andrew Taylor, a political science professor at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
Dalton is trying to make the case that the Republican-held legislature needs to be stopped from making more cuts to important areas such as education. He also put out a plan this week to prohibit sex-based wage discrimination, seek tougher penalties for domestic violence, and offer paid maternity and paternity leave to teachers and state workers.
If McCrory wins and the legislature stays Republican, as it probably will, it will be the first unified Republican government in the state in a century, Professor Taylor says.
Even if President Obama pulls off a narrow victory, it likely won't be enough to tilt things in Dalton's favor, he and others say.
Voting started in North Carolina Oct. 18.

text: WWD Week in Review: 3/5/10 The top stories for the week ending in March 5, 2010. WWD Staff Milan Fashion Week Wraps Up Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana consider themselves designers as well as customer service professionals, who listen to what their clients want. These days, that doesn't include wearing what appeals just to magazine stylists, something Dolce and Gabbana kept in mind last season while addressing the customer's feminine wiles. And last Sunday, their practical focus fell on a woman's masculine side with a stunning collection rooted in "sartorialità," or tailoring, Italian-style. As the saying goes, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. And by that standard, Frida Giannini just might have taken Gucci down that tricked-out, laced-up but bankable road again. But not this time. Giannini did an about-face, and in her most successful show since joining the company, delivered a clean, polished collection that pulsed with insouciant glamour. "The New Chic" was how Giorgio Armani defined his fall collection, according to program notes. And since Armani prides himself on maintaining a constant minimum of high chic, grounded in his long-established house codes of strong, sophisticated tailoring and elegant evening attire — dually represented here — the question was, what did he consider new? No, not the fringy, in-your-face hats but color: saturated Crayola tones, such as orange, cherry red, pink and the deep emerald green that opened the show.
