So I beat the game in 2 days on medium, as soon as it came out. It is most definitely one of the most beautiful games created, so far. After reading many posts on this forum, i noticed one issue i had has not been discussed, or i have simply not seen it.
Rapture is at the bottom of the ocean!
Yet this game could have taken place in a warehouse on the surface, without having to change much. Other than the beginning bathysphere ride, or with the plane fuselage crashing into the walkway, you don't see much, or ever interact with the ocean. I was expecting Sharks and Whales and Squids and tons of other types of fish to see. I was expecting floods and swimming and shooting holes in the glass to drown enemies.
For a crumbling city underwater, you sure were not burdened by it.

Specific performance
A contractual remedy in which the court orders a party to actually perform its promise as closely as possible, because monetary damages are somehow inadequate to fix the harm. Most commonly ordered in cases involving real property and rare chattels.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A contract remedy provided by a court that orders the losing side to perform its part of an agreement rather than, or possibly in addition to, paying money damages to the winner. Generally required in cases of unique goods, for example artwork or antiques.

All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of April 18, 2011
Monday, April 18, 2011
Jack, Caleb and Opal came up empty in their attempt to track down Erica. Krystal came by and offered Jack her condolences. Erica's captor delivered a meal to her and a blank sheet of paper. The disembodied voice of the captor told Erica that she needed to write a letter convincing Jack she didn't want to marry him. The captor realized that Erica had tried to write in code so he/she returned the note and told Erica that she was going to have to phone home. To prevent harm from coming to her granddaughters, Erica was forced to tell Jack that although she was terribly sorry, she couldn't marry him right now. Jack sensed that something was wrong but Erica had to deny it. The kidnapper's voice told Erica that Bianca and Miranda were fine. Erica insisted to her captor that she didn't have feelings for Caleb. Jack updated Jesse about the call. Caleb told Jack that for what it was worth, Erica had chosen Jack over him. Erica realized that her captor didn't want money.
Angie didn't know what to make of Jesse's reluctance to hold Lucy. Brot called with news about Griff's stabber so Jesse rushed out.
Brot and Jesse discussed the baby predicament.
Kendall and Ricky showed up at the hospital to see Griffin. Kendall wanted to see him alone so Ricky went to the park to berate the guy he had charged with stabbing Griffin for failing to finish the job. Kendall questioned Griff about whether he knew anything about Erica's disappearance. He took offense. Kendall reminded Griffin that he had lied to her; he said he was sorry for trusting her. Ricky showed up to take Kendall home. Griffin warned Kendall to be careful. Ricky said he would take good care of her. After they left, Jesse visited Griffin and told him he was being charged with murder.
Krystal vented to Angie about Erica.
Asher and Maya chatted at the mansion. Asher met up with Caleb and Opal and got an Erica update. Opal and Caleb both thought something fishy was going on with Erica.
Back at the house, Kendall opened up to Ricky about her confusion over Griffin. He comforted her and called her sweetheart, which caused Kendall to pull back from him. Kendall had flashbacks and realized with a gasp that Ricky may be the bad guy!
Marissa tried to comfort Bianca over Erica's disappearance. Marissa offered to help Bianca deal with the PR fall-out Griff's arrest had had on the Miranda Center. JR and AJ arrived in St. Bart's to surprise Marissa. She was stunned. Later, Bianca and JR discussed the state of JR and Marissa's relationship. Bianca told JR that she was staying neutral when it came to JR's efforts to win back Marissa.
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Tad and Jake dined at ConFusion and Tad updated Jake on his efforts to help Griffin. Tad noted Jake's concern for Cara and advised him to focus on his own wife. Bickering ensued between the brothers. Angie called Tad, worried about Jesse. The Martin men went to see Jesse, who felt attacked and ordered them to back off.
Cara tended to Griffin. Bianca came to see Griff, who insisted that he's innocent. Bianca told Griff about the Miranda Center's woes and Griff said he was going to resign.
At home, Kendall reeled as she pondered the possibility that Ricky killed Zach. Ricky showed up and tried to convince Kendall to spend some time with him; she said she had to go to work. She went to see Griffin and received the cold shoulder from Cara. Griff said he understood why Kendall thought him to be guilty. She walked out with a heavy heart. Cara followed and confronted Kendall, telling her about how "off" her buddy Ricky was. The talk left Kendall with a bad feeling. Meanwhile, Ricky met up with a colleague and hinted at planning a surprise for Kendall.
Angie and Randi had a heart-to-heart. Randi admitted that Lucy made her think about the baby she miscarried. Angie told Randi that she had felt that way when she first regained consciousness after giving birth. Randi left and Angie was disconcerted when an arriving David picked up a fussy Lucy. Angie agreed to let David read the research about the possible sight-restoring procedure. Jesse had a bad reaction when he came home to find Lucy in David's presence. He told David to leave. Jesse asked Angie why David had been there and Angie told Jesse about David's belief that he could give her back her sight. Jesse was appalled that Angie was trusting David even a little. "I want to see again!" wept Angie.
Kendall and Bianca met up at home and discussed the charges against Griffin. Kendall fished for info about Ricky. Ricky came back to the house after learning that Kendall hadn't shown up at the office. She covered. She tried to get rid of him but he refused to leave.
Jake went to see Griff and Cara and assured Griff that he would continue to lie about his condition to keep him out of jail. Griffin noted how far he and Jake had come in their relationship.
Bianca encountered a doleful David in the bark. He was bummed about having lost Marissa. Binks assured David that Marissa was doing well.
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Emma was upset when Ryan and Greenlee told her that she'd be spending the day at Fusion. Ryan thanked Greenlee for not giving up on Emma. Emma told Ryan that she wanted to go home. Ryan made her stay. After he left, Greens seemed to get through to Emma. Emma then spied a picture of Annie and lashed out at Greens, then ran into an elevator that was being repaired.
Griffin watched a news story about his arrest and stabbing.
Tad tried to keep Cara calm over the Griffin situation. She insisted on helping him clear her brother's name. He sternly made it clear that they would be working on protecting Kendall, too. Following a lead, Tad and Cara went to Krystal's, and they followed their suspect to the park, where Tad reluctantly separated from his wife. Cara was approached by the guy she was following and he tried to stab her. Tad showed up and knocked him out from behind. They summoned Jesse, who arrested the guy for stabbing Griffin. They brought him to the hospital, where Griff ID'd his stabber. The guy had been well-trained and further implicated Griffin in Diana's death.
Kendall was wary when Ricky told her he wanted to take her somewhere. She agreed to go. He took her to the park. Opal showed up and gushed about Ricky's wonderfulness. After she left, Ricky had to cover when he quoted a conversation with Zach that she'd never told anyone about. She was confused. Ryan came by to take Kendall home, much to Ricky's dismay. Ryan told Ricky that he was investigating Diana Holden. Ryan and a jumpy Ricky went to ConFusion to discuss Ryan's findings. Ryan left when Greens called to tell him that Emma was stuck in the elevator. Ricky thought that Kendall might be suspicious of him, since she faked her headache.
Kendall went to the yacht and asked Zach to help her figure out what happened to him. She ignored a call from Ricky. Kendall found a mysterious envelope. It was a copy of Zach's letter, minus the page Ricky had faked. Kendall realized that Zach had been trying to warn her about Ricky — who lurked right outside.
Madison brought Scott a new tie at work. Scott told Mad about a new job opportunity he had. Scott gave her a baby gift. Scott was bummed when he was turned down for the job.
Ryan chastised Emma for running into a broken elevator. He told her that her bad behavior had to stop that day.
Thursday, April 21, 2011
Erica's captor refused to release her or explain how he/she knew so much about her. Erica tried to figure out a way out but couldn't find one. Reluctantly, she agreed to drink some water. Erica tried to unnerve her captor.
Opal came to see a distraught Jack.
Ricky surprised Kendall on the boat. Ryan showed up and Ricky left; Kendall told Ryan she may have proof that Zach was murdered. She showed Ryan the evidence Zach had stashed and made Ryan promise "to do this my way" before sharing her suspicions about Ricky.
Griffin's stabber made it look to Jesse like he and Griff were previously acquainted. Cara begged Jesse not to listen to the guy and refusesd to accept that her brother would have to go back to jail. Ricky showed up and approached Liza, letting it slip that Griff's condition was much improved. Liza then ordered Jesse to get Griffin back to jail. Cara was determined to falsify Griff's medical records to keep him out of jail. To protect Cara, Griff told Liza that he felt fine and was ready to go back to jail.
Krystal and Caleb discussed his trip to St. Bart's. She then went to see Jack, where she ranted against what Erica had done to him. Jack vented against Erica as well. He thanked her for being a good friend. She stopped short of letting on about her crush on him.
Kendall came to see Griffin and Cara refused to let her go near her brother. Kendall told Cara she was close to getting to the truth and beseeched Cara to help her. Kendall went into Griffin's room and announced, "I'm busting you out of this place."
Opal went to see Caleb to urge him to move on from Erica.
Liza told Ryan that Ricky had spoken ill of Griffin to her. Ricky made reservations at ConFusion for a special occasion and fingered an engagement ring.
Friday, April 22, 2011
Kendall explained her plan to break Griff out of the hospital to Cara and Griffin. Cara pulled the fire alarm and Kendall scooted him out of his room. She brought him to the park to fill him in on her findings on the yacht.
Ryan told Ricky that he was going to continue to investigate Diana. Ricky told Ryan that he thought Kendall was becoming obsessed with figuring out what happened to Zach.
Frankie visited with Lucy and Angie. Angie told Frankie about the research David had shown her. Frankie was not on board with Angie trusting David.
Jesse and Tad encountered David at the hospital. Jesse told Hayward to stay out of the Hubbards' lives. When the alarm went off, Cara privately told Tad that it was false. Tad chastised Cara for breaking the law. Jesse discovered Griffin missing from his room and put out an APB. Brot brought David over to Jesse for questioning. Jesse brought Cara to the station. Tad decided to protect Cara by claiming to have set off the alarm himself. Jesse reluctantly let them leave. Tad tried to console Cara.
Kendall took Griffin to the park and shared with him what had happened on the yacht. Griff and Kendall recommitted to trusting and helping one another. Ryan found them and after the trio went to a safehouse, he agreed to help Kendall get Griffin out of the country. Kendall told Griffin that she thinks Ricky is involved with Zach's death. Griff was stunned. Kendall begged Griff to leave the country. He agreed very reluctantly. Ryan took Kendall home. When she went inside, she was shocked to find Ricky playing with Spike and Ian.
Jesse came home to find David with Angie and barked at him to leave. Angie told Jesse she was merely considering David's offer to perform the surgery. Jesse agreed to be supportive.

Treasure Chest Thursday: The Emigrant's Suitcase
By the time I came along the little black suitcase lived under my parents' bed, and was filled with photographs. Now it is here with me in my home. I have such fond memories of time spent trolling through the photographs in that suitcase. Sometimes, when my mother was doing her household accounts, I would sit on the floor at the foot of her bed, and draw out the images which most appealed to me. Then, I would plead with my mom to set aside her task, and tell me about the people in the pictures. Sometimes Mom would send me packing, but every now and then she would oblige me.
The little black suitcase is such a treasure to me. As a child, emigration seemed a romantic ideal to me, and I would daydream about the little suitcase shifting and sliding around their cabin, as the sea rolled and tumbled under the ship on which my mother and brother travelled to a new world.
This post was inspired by an article in the Irish Times authored by Fintan O'Toole. It can be viewed at http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2012/1208/1224327637420.html

That is such a treasure, Jennifer! My Grandparents who originally came from County Tyrone then to northern England, to Canada in 1911... such practical people that the suitcases and trunks were eventually thrown out, broken up and dumped! Sigh. I can imagine some of the wonderful things they brought with them - like my grandfather's favourite pipes and his father's pocket watch. Thanks for sharing your memories with us - it's always a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteHi Celia,
Thanks for your comments; as always, they are much appreciated.
Oh wouldn't it be wonderful to have a hold of some of those treasures. My grandfather smoked a pipe too, and Mom had one at one time, but I do not know what happened to it. Apparently the steamer trunk went out with the trash during a house move when I was an infant. The little suitcase only survived being pitched out because it made a good storage spot for photos, and perhaps because of my persistence in wanting to keep it. Mom assumed we would just throw it away after she passed. It's funny how such things mean so much to us.
JenniferOh, what a WONDERFUL treasure Jennifer! ... I enjoyed your story very much and was reminded of my dad writing about his immigration to Australia, in 1928, and his "portmanteau" :-) Many thanks, Catherine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly wonderful treasure you have there Jennifer, with special memories to go with it. What tales it could tell! The conversations held around it about what to take, which special treasures would go safely in the case and which in the trunks.
ReplyDeleteI thought this post was great and it really got my imagination going thinking about what my immigrant ancestors brought with them. I've included your post on my Friday's Favorites: http://leavesfortrees.blogspot.com/2013/01/follow-friday-favorites-for-january-11.html

I made a tumblr….
So, my friend Pete wouldn't stop talking about tumblr and he was all "Jesus, make one already! You'd love it!" So, here it goes.
I don't really know what to put on here. I guess I should tell you about myself. I grew up in Nazareth, I worked with my dad for a long time as a carpenter, but now I mostly just travel around with some of my friends, backpacking and stuff. We're a friendly bunch of vagabonds, we like roughing it and camping and couch surfing. I've got a great beard (I was told people on tumblr like beards, so I thought I'd mention it.) I think people need to take it easy and see the good in others, it would solve so many problems if they did that, you know?
Anyway, send me a message or whatever, I have no idea what i'm doing, so if you have any comments or advice for me, that'd be great.

I am renovating a house with laminate flooring in the main room and hallway. Several dents have been found in the floor and I would like to know of any way to either fill in or remove these dents. Can anyone give me any help with this? | |||
congratulations, you have a distressed floor. they are all the rage now, the most expensive engineered floors sold are all hand-scraped and distressed. this is the deal: laminate floor is made of layers of crudwood or plastic with woodgrain printed on the top. it's an ink layer thick, covered with acrylic for wear. there is no sanding out faults, and trying to raise the material with heat will blow the finish. it could be this is why laminate flooring is less expensive than real solid wood. somebody dropped something heavy on the flooring, and you're stuck with it, unless you tear up the floor and replace it. I almost said you could take up some of the laminate, move pieces around, and push the ugly to a hidden location. but you will damage enough of the material to have to replace it all. sorry. you can either not worry about it, or replace it. what I'd do is put the dents on my "29 flaws" list. I keep one in my head for all my projects. some wise acre comes into the house and starts pointing out issues, I tell them there are 29 flaws. find them all and win a prize. the prize is a trip to the toolbox, and the words, "OK, dumb (donkey), fix it. fix it ALL."This message has been edited. Last edited by: swschrad, sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
laminate flooring is a photograph on some type of material. It could be vinyl, particle board. even compressed paper. none of which can be repaired If it is a floating floor installation, you could remove some from a closet or other unseen place and swap it with the damaged flooring lots of luck, you'll need it | ||||
Sorry but I have to agree with the other posters on this one. joecaption | ||||
the only way to fix those dents is to replace the entire floor. Or, you can do some design magic and cover them with fixtures or a rug perhaps that would hide the dents but not too obviously used for that purpose. | ||||
I have seen some videos on using a circ saw to cut out dented boards. Then the bottom side of the new boards get the grooves cut out. apply some adhesive to underside then slip board into place. | ||||
Not going to work on laminite. It needs to float, if any place is attached to the subfloor the rest can start pulling apart. Only works with real hardwood. joecaption | ||||

GIMP - round corners filter runs, but doesn't work
After following the great instructions on this site on how to round corners using GIMP (I'm in version 2.6.8), I've realised that for whatever reason, the round corners filter doesn't work on any of my images.
I'm using 1-layer images, with no alpha channel, and they're in RGB mode. I can select the round corner filter, and run it (usually with an edge radius of 20 and a blur radius of 15) - but then, nothing happens. The new image it produces is exactly the same as the old image. It doesn't matter if I select "work on copy" or let it run on the original - the script runs, and my image doesn't change. I wanted to see if anyone else has had similar problems with the round corners filters - I know I can round my images using the rounded rectangle selection, but that's not nearly as simple as the round corners filter should be. I'm guessing that there's something simple I'm missing, but I don't know what it is. Suggestions? (Also, I've tried refreshing my script-fu console, but that doesn't fix it either.) Thanks much! |
Re: GIMP - round corners filter runs, but doesn't work
I think you need to "select" the entire area of the photo, OR a section of the photo, before running the filter tool.
Use the "Rectangle Select Tool" to select the section of the photo. Here is an online tutorial explain this feature: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11583.html Let me know if this helped. - Norma |
Re: GIMP - round corners filter runs, but doesn't work
Here is what I do. Select the layer, run the round corners tool. You should see "little ants" marking the round corners. Now go to "Select" on the top and click on "Invert". Then go to "Edit" and click on "cut". This will cut your layer with the rounded corners. Then you just go to "Layer", click on "Transparency" and then click on "color to alpha". This will let the layer under the one you cut with rounded corners to show through (it will make the areas around the corners transparent in the layer you cut). After you have your layer ready you can scale it to any measurements to fit your LO.
Let me know if this works! This is how I do it. |
Re: GIMP - round corners filter runs, but doesn't work
Ah! Selecting the entire region, like you suggested, in addition to selecting the layer, did the trick. *headdesk* I can't believe I missed something so simple - I swear I've read through the GIMP documentation so many times and somehow missed the obvious. Thanks so much for your help! And David - thank you, as well. That's the method I've been using, and it works like a pro. Now I can do both methods. Cheers! Heather |

Spice is Nice
Arab, sultans, trade links with China, Portugal and India and a muslim call to prayer that bellows across Stone Town five times a day - we guess you could say Zanzibar is pretty diverse.
(Was Zanzibar Revealed)
Day 1-2 - Stone Town
Satisfy your seafood cravings at the Forodhani Night Market on the waterfront. Construct the skewer of your dreams from fresh octopus, squid, fish, crab, mussel and lobster then watch it get barbequed to perfection while you wait.
- Spend two nights in Stone Town, at a central location
- Allow yourself time to wander through the many cobbled laneways, take in the architecture and appreciate the famous Zanzibar doors
- Set off on an optional Spice Tour, that starts with a brief tour of the historical sights in Stone Town, before visiting the Slave Museum, the ruins of the Sultan's Palace and then travelling to the famous spice plantations
- Perhaps set about getting out to Prison Island, where you can swim and snorkel and observe the giant tortoises
- Shopping and eating opportunities abound, as do colourful food and craft markets to visit
BreakfastDay 3-5 - Paje Beach
Your beach bungalow comes complete with its own bar, and there's always an interesting mix of locals and other visitors to chat to. That is, when you're not swimming diving, kite surfing, relaxing or reading on the beach.
- Spend the next three days on the idyllic east coast, where soft white sandy beaches stretch as far as the eye can see
- Swim in the warm and inviting water of the pristine east coast, which is far less frequented than the northern beaches
- Wander on the white sand, catch the sunset through rows of palm trees and soak up the peace and tranquillity of the area
- Stay in beach bungalows opposite a sparkling stretch of Indian Ocean
- Perhaps indulge in massages, bargain with the beach traders, laze in your hammock, relax by the bar and spoil yourself with the abundance of fresh seafood, Italian wood fired pizzas and Swahili dishes
BreakfastDay 6 - Paje Beach - Stone Town
By now you should be able to find your way around the maze-like streets without getting too lost. Live out your Willy Wonka fantasy on a spice tour where you'll get to lick a cinnamon tree.
- Bid farewell to the beaches and return to Stone Town, where the trip ends on arrival
Breakfast -

I'm 41 years old and have been working out in some way shape or form my entire life. The key is that once you look at diet and exercise as a lifestyle change instead of "work" or something you "have to do" the easier it becomes. Also, dont set yourself up to fail by placing very difficult or unattainable goals on yourself...or by getting on the scale everyday. Start slowly...you will be more inclined to continue this "change" in your life.
I have always eaten fairly healthy my entire life, but became a diabetic about 3 years ago. I wondered "why me"...often. Its somewhat of an unexplainably aquired disease, but now I really needed to change and pay attention to my eating habits even moreso. I have vowed to get off my medication and control my diabetes with diet and exercise alone...no easy task.
Diabetes affects 6% of Americans and over 40 million people have "high blood sugar"...putting them at risk to become "full-blown" diabetics. Per capita, the US has one of the highest populations of diabetics worldwide and it has everything to do with our lifestyles as a whole. There are serious complications associated with poorly managed diabetes.
The formula is simple...if you take in more calories than you expend, you will gain unwanted weight. You can easily attain goals with a sensible combination of diet and exercize. It takes some will power, dedication and time.
As far as exercise...man, your 20 years old. You can do anything you want. I would start slowly and incorporate some type of cardio and weight-training program. Cardio is the key to losing weight...anything that keeps your heartrate elevated for a steady, extended period of time. Biking, running, stair-climbing, swimming, axe-chopping etc....30 minutes a day 3-5 days a week. For crappy days outside...invest in a stairmaster, treadmill or eliptical machine. As far as weight training...search the internet depending on what your goals are. You can train your entire body in 3 days...2 body parts a day, once a week. Thats 3 days. If I had to pick one to be the healthiest and lose some weight...do cardio over the weights.
Proper diet is the key to losing weight. Again, if you approach it as something that becomes part of your life and not a chore or something you have to do...you will succeed and not go up and down with weight like "dieters" do. Start by using positive language to describe what you are trying to do. Example...I'm eating better and its become a part of my lifestyle as opposed to "I'm on a diet". Being on a diet implies that once you reach your goal weight...you can return to what you did in the past...and the bottom line is...you cant if you want to maintain your desired weight.
Diet...fried food, refined sugars, fats...and "white" carbohydrates should be replaced with...baked, boiled or grilled food, a generous amount of fresh fruits and veges and whole grain foods. By white carbs I mean...white bread, white sugar, white potatoes and white pasta. Switch to whole grain products...read the labels. Get off the soda or "pop" as some call it. Moderation is the key. Have 2 slices of pizza a big salad instead of a whole pie. The more you can break up your meals into smaller and more throughout the day...the better. Five or six smaller meals throughout the day is better than 2 or 3 bigger ones. Instead of having a bag of chips and soda while watching TV at night before bed...replace it with an apple and some peanut butter and a protein shake.
All this, like anything in life is easier said than done...but if you put aside 30 minutes a day and have the will to do it...you can accomplish your goals.

Maine's museums surprise visitors with their depth and breadth: they're human sized, rarely crowded, engaging, inviting, and fun. They reward the curious with world-class collections, intriguing exhibits, fascinating displays, and mind-stretching possibilities. Many invite interaction, not only through exhibits and displays, but also through programs ranging from lectures and films to bean-hole suppers and day sails.
Maine's museums are the real deal. They allow visitors to experience the real Maine in meaningful, authentic ways. In Maine, you can:
- Soak up Maine's seafaring tradition by touring a historic shipyard or a village that went to sea, climbing an observation or lighthouse tower, or prowl around a fort.
- Immerse yourself in Maine's artistic vision by visiting art museums, touring sites where American Masters painted iconic scenes and viewing studios where they created their art, and touring architectural gems.
- Transport yourself, via Maine's transportation museums, to a different era: view rare automobiles, watch aerobatic air shows, ride narrow gauge rails, or board historic boats.
- Learn about the Native Americans who first called Maine home; the Acadian settlers and Franco-American and Irish immigrants, who later populated it; the slaves who followed the Underground Railway here; and the Shakers, who still reside here.
- Arm yourself with military knowledge at museums honoring Maine's war history; visit forts and view re-enactments, tour shipyards and walk through historic towns and cities.
- Get to know historic Maine figures who lived large on the national stage: explorers and inventors, literary greats and political leaders.
- Introduce kids to Maine's playful nature at a children's museum or by participating in family friendly museum activities.
- Focus on smaller, often quirky museums devoted to everything from umbrella covers to sardines, or ones with eclectic collections united only under the name of their collector.
Small towns and big cities, rural and urban, coast and mountains, Maine's museums are found statewide, making it easy to include visits, no matter where you're visiting or for how long. The reward for doing so is a better understanding of the place, people, geography, history, heritage, and economy of Maine, an understanding that will enrich your visit and provide plentiful factual souvenirs to enliven your tales when you return home.
