President Barack Obama opened the door to a diplomatic way out of the crisis in Syria -- while refusing to close the door on military intervention -- in a nationally televised speech Tuesday night.
Here are key developments from Capitol Hill, the White House and across Washington before, during and after the president's address.
10:44 p.m. ET - House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers in a statement said he's "hopeful a diplomatic solution can be reached, however, I am skeptical of any proposal proffered by the Russians and doubt Assad's motives for agreeing to this plan ... the President still urgently needs to develop and execute a coherent strategy to address all of those threats."
10:34 p.m. ET - 6 in 10 Americans who watched the president's speech tonight said they favor his approach, according to CNN's instant poll taken after Obama spoke. Sixty-one percent said they support the president's position in Syria and 37% said they oppose his response.
The poll indicated that nearly two-thirds of those who watched the speech think the situation in Syria is likely to be resolved through diplomatic efforts, with 35% disagreeing. Speech-watchers were divided on whether Obama made a convincing case in his speech for U.S. military action in Syria, with 47% saying he did and 50% saying no.
10:26 p.m. ET - National Security Advisor Susan Rice tweets: "POTUS: when dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory."
10:18 p.m. ET - CNN's John King tweets: "post #syria speech POTUS still faces #GOP #congress doubts: @ChuckGrassley says leaning no; @SenOrrinHatch still "strong reservations."
10:11 p.m. ET - CNN's Dan Merica tweets: "Another undecided D break Syria silence. MT @RepRickLarsen President takes diplomatic opening, Syria must match its words with deeds."
10:03 p.m. ET - Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain issued a joint statement saying, "We appreciate the President speaking directly to the American people about the conflict in Syria. We regret, however, that he did not speak more forcefully about the need to increase our military assistance to moderate opposition forces in Syria, such as the Free Syrian Army. We also regret that he did not lay out a clearer plan to test the seriousness of the Russian and Syrian proposal to transfer the Assad regime's chemical weapons to international custody."
10:01 p.m. ET - Reacting to the speech, Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, who met with Vice President Joe Biden yesterday and with the president today on Capitol Hill said, "I don't think the case for military action has been made ... I'm still leaning against the authorization for the use of force that's been presented.
10 p.m. ET - CNN's Dan Merica tweets: "@ChrisMurphyCT, a Democratic senator who was against strikes from the beginning, tweets "Good speech. President right to delay vote."
9:59 p.m. ET - Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, tweets: "After this impassioned plea I cannot imagine Pres Obama not launching military strike if diplomacy fails, regardless of what Congress does.
"You cannot make moral case as the leader of the Free World and then refuse to act if diplomacy fails. #SyriaSpeech."
9:58 p.m. ET - Democratic Sen. Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a statement said "I believe Congress can best support the goal of a diplomatic solution by approving a resolution that authorizes the use of force if Syria refuses to give up its chemical weapons."
9:54 p.m. ET - Republican Sen. Rand Paul on CNN said he hopes the Russia/diplomatic option works because if we attack, Syria will be more unstable. Paul said the chance al Qaeda gains traction in the region increases if the United States attacks.
9:45 p.m. ET - The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a left-leaning advocacy group that has been opposed to military action in Syria, responded to the address saying "public pressure worked."
"The American people knew that diplomacy was a credible and strategic option, and this great news from President Obama will be better for America and his presidency than dropping bombs on Syria," the group said in a statement.
9:43 p.m. ET - Republicans National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus responded to the president's address by saying, "The administration's handling of the U.S. response to Syria has been so haphazard it's disappointed even the president's most ardent supporters."
"This rudderless diplomacy has embarrassed America on the world stage. For a president who campaigned on building American credibility abroad, the lack of leadership coming from the Oval Office is astounding," Priebus added.
9:42 p.m. ET - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, tweets: "Pres. Obama's leadership brought diplomatic solutions back to the table, shows his willingness to exhaust every remedy before use of force."
9:40 p.m. ET - CNN contributor Donna Brazile tweets: "POTUS must keep the threat of military action on the table until #Syria gives up its chemical weapons and an int'l team can verify. #peace."
9:31 p.m. ET - CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen tweets: "Very good Presidential speech -- crisp, clear, addressed doubts. Not sure enuf to to persuade anywhere close to majority. @AC360."
9:30 p.m. ET - Ari Fleischer, a spokesman for then-President George W. Bush and now a CNN contributor, tweets: "Assad denies using CW that O deplores. Putin sides w Assad. So O turns to Putin & Assad 2 get rid of weapons that weren't used."
9:28 p.m. ET - CNN's Jake Tapper tweets: "A speech to a public that doesn't want to go to war by a president who doesn't want to go to war."
9:24 p.m. ET - Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who is still undecided on a military strike, said the president made a "great moral argument," especially when he said U.S. troops could be gassed. But he still has to make it clear that this will not "mushroom into something else."

Differin (adapalene) products are proven medicines that get deep into pores to help clear the acne you have and help keep new acne from starting. The Differin product ingredients work under the skin's surface at the source of the problem. Topical retinoids, like any Differin product, are the only class of drugs proven to treat those blemishes that are present and prevent the formation of new ones. Which Differin Product Is Right for Me? Differin products come two ways: two different strengths, one in a gel and one in a lotion (only a doctor can determine which is best for you). Whatever form you use, Differin products help clear pimples. • Differin (adapalene) Gel, 0.3% Pump is a clear gel with a powerful formulation for those with more challenging acne. It comes with a convenient, easy-to-use pump that dispenses 100% of the contents listed on the label. It works under the skin's surface to unclog pores and clear up pimples. • Differin (adapalene) Lotion, 0.1% Pump is the first lotion to contain adapalene, which helps control the buildup that leads to acne. It comes in a convenient, easy-to-use pump dispenser. Differin Lotion, 0.1% Pump helps prevent the formation of new acne, and can also help treat acne that's already present. Make an appointment and ask your doctor if a Differin Product would be right for you. Important Safety Information Indication: DIFFERIN® GEL, 0.3% and DIFFERIN LOTION, 0.1% are prescription medications known as retinoids and are indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years and older.

MetroGel 1% is now available in the innovative pump delivery system, which offers measured dosing for consistent delivery. According to a Consumer Packaging Preference Study involving 207 diagnosed rosacea patients, 69% preferred the pump over the tube, believing it offers greater convenience for dispensing a prescription rosacea medication*. These patients also reported that the innovative pump delivery system is easy to use and wastes less medication.1 More than 16 million Americans are estimated to have rosacea, and while there is no cure, proper treatment can make it manageable.2 In one study, patients who used MetroGel 1% experienced a 71% median reduction in inflammatory lesions (bumps and blemishes) after 10 weeks of treatment.3 MetroGel 1% has an exclusive formula that contains HSA-3®, which is a combination of ingredients including betadex, niacinamide (vitamin B3), and propylene glycol. In a 92% water-based gel, these ingredients work together to help skin retain moisture while enhancing absorption of metronidazole. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Indication: METROGEL® 1% is indicated for the topical treatment of the inflammatory lesions of rosacea. Adverse Events: In controlled clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events (>2%) in patients treated with METROGEL 1% were nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. Other adverse experiences reported when using topical metronidazole include skin irritation, transient redness, metallic taste, tingling or numbness of the extremities and nausea. Warnings/Precautions: METROGEL 1% should not be used by patients who are allergic to metronidazole or any ingredient in METROGEL 1%. Avoid contact of METROGEL 1% with the eyes as it may cause tearing. METROGEL 1% should be used with caution in patients with evidence of, or a history of, blood dyscrasia, and with patients taking blood thinning agents as they may experience prolonged prothrombin times. METROGEL 1% treatment should be discontinued if numbness or paresthesia of any extremity should occur. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.

Rosanil® Cleanser combines the active ingredients sodium sulfacetamide 10% and sulfur 5% and is indicated in the topical control of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis. Sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur help prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi on the skin, which can cause pustules and papules associated with acne, rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis. Rosanil® Cleanser is unique to other sodium sulfacetamide/sulfur cleansers on the market because it contains no masking fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. ROSANIL® Cleanser is contraindicated for use by patients having known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, sulfur or any other component of this preparation. ROSANIL® Cleanser is not to be used by patients with kidney disease. Although rare, sensitivity to sodium sulfacetamide may occur. Therefore, caution and careful supervision should be observed when prescribing this drug for patients who may be prone to hypersensitivity to topical sulfonamides. Patients should be carefully observed for possible local irritation or sensitization during long-term therapy. If irritation develops, use of the product should be discontinued.

Oracea® (OR-RAY-SHA)
Living with rosacea can sometimes be challenging because it is a chronic condition caused by inflammation—but there is hope. Although rosacea cannot be cured, it can be managed with proper treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment are recommended by the NRS Expert Committee because symptoms of rosacea can get worse over time. Therefore, the sooner you begin treatment the better. It's important for you to talk with your dermatologist to find out about the treatment options available. ORACEA® (OR-RAY-SHA) (doxycycline, USP) 40 mg* is the first and only oral therapy approved by the FDA to treat the bumps and blemishes of rosacea. In clinical trials, many patients saw results in a little as 3 weeks, and these continued through the full 16-week course of treatment. Additionally, ORACEA is a convenient, offered in a once-daily pill, and is not an antibiotic dose. Unlike traditional doses of doxycyclines (antibiotic at doses that kill bacteria), the low-dose formulation of ORACEA does not work by killing bacteria; instead, it reduces the bumps and blemishes of rosacea because of its anti-inflammatory properties. That's important because rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition- not a bacterial infection. In clinical trials, ORACEA has not been shown to contribute to antibiotic resistance. One of your best defenses against any disease is knowledge. Ask your doctor if ORACEA is right for you. *30 mg immediate release & 10 mg delayed release beads Important Safety Information Indication: ORACEA® is indicated for the treatment of only inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea in adult patients. Adverse Events: In controlled clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events (>2%) in patients treated with ORACEA were nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, diarrhea, hypertension and aspartate aminotransferase increase. Warnings/Precautions: ORACEA should not be used to treat or prevent infections. ORACEA should not be taken by patients who have a known hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other tetracyclines. ORACEA should not be taken during pregnancy, by nursing mothers, or during tooth development (up to the age of 8 years). Although photosensitivity was not observed in clinical trials, ORACEA patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight. The efficacy of ORACEA treatment beyond 16 weeks and safety beyond 9 months have not been established. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.

Metvixia® Cream
The combination of Metvixia® (methyl aminolevulinate) Cream, 16.8% ("Metvixia") and Galderma's Aktilite® CL128 LED (light-emitting diode) lamp represent the next generation of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of actinic keratoses ("AK"). Actinic keratoses are very common lesions that occur on sun-damaged skin and are widely considered to be a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma. Metvixia Cream is a topical porphyrin precursor used in photodynamic therapy. When applied to actinic keratosis lesions, Metvixia Cream is selectively absorbed into precancerous cells causing a build-up of endogenous porphyrins. These endogenous porphyrins are illuminated with the Aktilite CL128 lamp emitting a narrow output spectrum of red light with a peak wavelength at 630 nm. Subsequently, a reaction occurs that results in the destruction of the precancerous cells. Metvixia Cream with PDT selectively targets precancerous cells so the surrounding healthy cells are less subjected to the treatment, therein minimizing scarring and ensuring more acceptable cosmetic outcomes for patients. Important Safety Information Indication: Metvixia Cream, a porphyrin precursor, in combination with the Aktilite CL128 lamp, a narrowband, red light illumination source, is indicated for treatment of thin and moderately thick, non-hyperkeratotic, non-pigmented actinic keratoses of the face and scalp in immunocompetent patients when used in conjunction with lesion preparation in the physician's office when other therapies are considered medically less appropriate. Adverse Events: Most common related adverse reactions (incidence greater than 10% and greater than placebo) are erythema; pain, burning and discomfort; pruritus; scabbing, crusting and erosions; edema and exfoliation of the skin. Warnings/Precautions: Metvixia Cream is intended for topical use in the physician's office by physicians only. The recurrence rate of treated lesions is unknown. Patients and providers should wear protective eyewear before operating the Aktilite lamp. Patients should be cautioned with regard to protective clothing after exposure to Metvixia. Do not apply to the eyes or to mucous membranes. Metvixia Cream has demonstrated a high rate of contact sensitization. Click here for Full Prescribing Information

Is there a Windows equivalent of Unix "whoami" command? If so, what is it?
Since Windows 2000, the You can do this: Open a command prompt and type "set" then hit enter. This shows active environment variables. Current logged on username is stored in the USERNAME env variable and your domain is stored in the USERDOMAIN variable. To piggy-back off the other answers, from a cmd line:
will get you the complete logged on user in domain\username format. You can do the same thing with Powershell with this:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
This reports most of the same information that everyone else is saying but you can also just type SET U It will return any environment variables that start with U. As an aside, SET L can be handy for debugging logonserver problems. | |||||
It depends on your specific OS, but the whoami command is available as part of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit and Windows XP SP2 Support Tools. | |||||||||
From command line? "echo %username%" should do it. The logged in user is stored in the environmental variable "username". From a graphical session, ctrl-alt-del will give you a screen with the logged in user displayed. | |||
The above are native to the OS and better answers, but in the spirit of completeness, there's literally a whoami.exe in the 2000 & XP support tools. At 32 kb, it'd be easy to roll out through group policy, if you had your heart set on that command. | |||
In the autoexec, or at a DOS prompt, type prompt %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME% $p$g, and you will display who you are logged in as, and see the typical prompt like this: DOMAIM\username C:> | |||

With a barrage of reports that Rory McIlroy will soon sign a 10-year, $200 million equipment and apparel deal with Nike – coupled with McIlroy's own admission that he's been tinkering with new clubs – the transition for McIlroy from Titleist to Nike now seems imminent. "I'm a Titleist player until the end of the year, and I've made no commitment to any company for next year," said McIlroy. "I have a process that we are working through and you'll probably hear more about it in the next few weeks."
While the reported move has already drawn criticism from the likes of Nick Faldo, I for one have no issue with the move. It's easy to share Faldo's opinion when you don't have a $200 million contract in front of you, but I'd imagine it's damn near impossible to turn down that kind of guaranteed money. Faldo's opinion is based largely on the notion that any change in equipment will initially lead to you having less trust in your clubs, which can in turn shake your confidence when you're not sure if it's the Indian or the arrow leading to errant shots. While I see Faldo's point, I think Rory has picked the perfect time of year to experiment with new clubs. Couple that with the fact that all of the major equipment manufacturers make awesome stuff, and I think Rory has nothing to worry about. On top of this, Nike is reportedly bringing in one of Cleveland/Srixon's former top designers exclusively to match Rory with the equipment that works best for him, much like they did when they lured Tom Stites away from Titleist and made him Nike Golf's Chief of Design (essentially to work with Tiger Woods). Rory will also continue to play equipment with same shafts that he has been using, a key to consistent shot-making.
All of this aside, I stand by the notion that if you're that good at golf, you can play with a wooden spoon. Give Rory a set of ladies clubs and he'll shoot a 65 on your home course with ease.
With the switch now seemingly imminent, one interesting by-product of the move is that Tiger Woods is no longer Nike's highest paid golfer. Will the man who essentially built Nike's golf division on his back now play second fiddle? Far from it. While Rory is the world's current #1 player and their highest paid golfer, Rory is no match for what Tiger does for the Nike brand. No athlete in history has ever touched Tiger's marketability – his ability to reach what has long been a historically Caucasian market, coupled with the Asian market and the African-American market is unmatched. He's brought more people to the game who otherwise may never have found it than any player ever will. Rory's a white kid from Ireland, and no matter how good he becomes, he'll never be as valuable to Nike as Tiger.
That said, you have to credit Nike for a brilliant business move. Nike knows Tiger as well as anybody, and they clearly believe that he has plenty of golf left in him. By bringing Rory onboard they've further fueled the growing Woods-McIlroy rivalry. As the golf world drools over Woods-McIlroy showdowns that you know will happen for years to come, both men will be donning the Nike Swoosh. The best golf ever played may very well be in front of us, and Nike is positioning itself as the gold standard of the game.
In signing Rory, Nike is also stepping pretty solidly on Titleist's neck. Long considered arguably the best equipment company in the game, Nike has used it's seemingly endless resources to squash the competition. While I'm something of a golf traditionalist and yearn for the days of the best players hitting MacGregors and Wilson Staffs, I'm aware that that will never happen again. I'll never root for any corporate takeover, but you have to admit Nike is pulling all the right strings in their golf division.
Tiger will always be the man at Nike, but the new kid will certainly position them as golf's premier equipment company well into the future.

News on Mercy College and its students is added to this page on a regular basis. Also available is the calendar of events and the school newsletter.
On Friday 1 November, Mercy College held its annual Sports Night. This year the College offered seventeen different sports with sixty-seven teams, three inter-school carnivals, and also provided Representative opportunities through the school sport pathways.
Over 1400 certificates were received for Participation as well as recognising individual performances throughout the year. Renae Kunst was the Guest Speaker and she inspired the students with her accomplishments and advice on achieving goals and overcoming obstacles.
Three major awards were presented with Luke Schulte taking home the Caleb Woodland Memorial Trophy, recognising courage and dedication in the sport of Rugby League, and Zoe Breitkreutz and Solomon Grigg were given the Sportswoman and Sportsman titles respectively.
The evening celebrated the dedication and commitment of all the students, staff, parents and helpers for 2013 as well as recognising the successful year that was 'Mercy Sport'.
Congratulations to the Mercy Choir for the wonderful choral successes in the Mackay Eisteddfod.
The students worked extremely hard to achieve the results of first place in the Novelty Chorus for Secondary Schools, first place in the Choral Singing for Schools Open Group, first place in Choral Singing (Hymn and Folk) Group Secondary Schools and winning the Mrytle McGeever Trophy for Secondary Schools Choral Championships. Well done to the students, parents/guardians, Mrs Carmel Daveson, our guest conductor and Mrs Anne Thompson our accompanist.
Congratulations to all Mercy students who participated in the Eisteddfod. We acknowledge the many individual successes, as well as first time competitors and everything in between.
The Mercy Men ensemble has also spent much time rehearsing together in preparation for the Eisteddfod. Performing last Saturday evening in the Vocal quartet section in the Space at MECC the Mercy Men swooned the audience with a polished rendition of the very modern song 'Let Me down Easy' written by Brisbane band Sheppard. The adjudicator described their performance as very entertaining and was genuinely excited to hear an all-male ensemble. She highlighted the great benefits that The Arts can provide for all and congratulated Mr Jim Ford for his support and encouragement of a very strong Arts program at Mercy College. Jim Ford, Scott McSherry, Val McKenzie, Mathew Anderson and Michael Comerford are to be congratulated.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for the Mercy Interact Club. Our annual Walkathon was conducted on the 16 October with around 130 students participating and raising $2,300. This money will be used to assist those less fortunate in our community. A fantastic effort by the students!
Last week we had Mr Ian Ritche from the West Mackay Rotary group come and speak to us about his work in Kenya, volunteering his time at one of the local orphanages there. He gave a moving insight into the work that is being done with educating children in Kenya, and the difference this is making in their lives.
Our final service engagement for the year was assisting at the West Mackay Rotary Fair. Interact members manned the drinks stall for the two nights of the fair, helping support this event and also raising money for the local community. Thanks to those students and staff who assisted.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the 2013 Mercy Interact Committee for the effort they have put in this year and the contribution they have made to the wider community.
Mr Brendan Gunning, Interact Coordinator
The top three Mackay teams flew to Brisbane (Mercy College Mackay – Secondary) and (Victoria Park State School, Homebush State School – Primary) to represent the region. Mercy College's teams, Year 8 students Purav Bhandare and Armaan Kundal with Year 9 students Nina Rillera and Lincoln De Thomasis did an outstanding job against very heavy competition. Undeterred by the fact that most games were played against older senior students, their individual games took up to 2 ¼ hours.
A total of six rounds over two days were played at Brisbane State High School, Sports Hall. Our competitors are eager to go back next year and do it all again!
Overall winner in the Secondary competition was The Church of England Grammar School. Mercy students are determined to be in the placings before they finish high school. A worthy goal!
Mr Jim Ford, Principal/Chess Coordinator

Principals' Institute
How to Supervise your ESL Teachers
At a time of high-stakes testing and accountability for all sub-groups, principals need to know what to look for when they observe a class of English Language Learners (ELLs). What should ESL instructors be teaching to ensure that their ELLs are progressing satisfactorily? How should ESL programs be designed? What roles should the ESL teacher play in the classroom?
This five-day professional-development institute will provide school principals with an overview of second-language acquisition theory and methodology for ELLs, so principals can observe and evaluate teachers professionally and fairly. In addition, this workshop will examine how principals can support teachers who are not successful in implementing instruction for ELLs in their classrooms.
Teachers' Institute
Literacy Development Methods for Dialect and Other English Speakers
Teachers are encountering increasing numbers of speakers of diverse dialects of English and World Englishes in their classrooms. This workshop focuses on the impact of this population on language teaching and learning.
Teaching English Through Multiple Intelligences
Today's methods appeal to students' multiple intelligences. In this workshop, students will explore Rome's street life, cuisine, architecture, and art to create new classroom materials, lesson plans, and techniques for teaching
Analyzing Learner Language: The Relationship between What Teachers Teach and What Learners Learn
This workshop will explore the relationship between input and acquisition, specifically what teachers do in the classroom and what students do, or don't, learn. In addition to discussing what the research shows, participants will examine data and learn about new tools for analyzing data.
Graduate Courses (for credit)
Literacy Development for First and Second Language Learners / Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages: Theory and Practice (EDU 9003/9005)
This course will focus on the theory and practice of teaching literacy to linguistically diverse students. The methods, materials and strategies currently used in Bilingual and English as a Second Language education will be surveyed and analyzed. Attention will be given to the ways of adapting instruction to the linguistic and cultural characteristics of English language learners at all proficiency levels. By hosting this course at our Rome campus, and incorporating a mandatory fieldwork component into the course, students will have the opportunity to explore the city and experience the impact of cross-cultural learning.
The Structure of the English Language (EDU 9015)
This course provides participants with a linguistic description and analysis of the major sub-systems of contemporary American English: phonology, semantics, morphology, and syntax. The course will also review particular structural features that often present difficulty for English language learners. In addition, the course will familiarize participants with research-based strategies that may be incorporated in the ESL or EFL classroom.

Yes I know, the game is old, but I only just got it and finished it last night.
This post is just about what I think about the game, not that my opinion matters but I wanted to share it anyway.
For starters, I'm not your average gamer.
I'm a 40 year old business woman but I've been gaming ever since the first computer games became available.
I loved Mafia 2 even though there are some things I didn't like as well, of course.
I love history, no I'm obsessed with it.
As part of my job I make sure movies, tv, museum exhibits and maybe one day games, are authentic, historically correct.
And I was very impressed with the setting of this game.
I didn't spot many annoying mistakes (except playboy in the 1940s, some of the hairstyles and clothing) and just LOVED the general historic atmosphere.
The city was so amazing, the cars, the music, fantastic.
This is a game I will play again and again, just to have a little drive trough the lovely locations.
Truly amazing.
I just tried "GTA 4" and was extremely disappointed with the look of the game, so ugly compared to what I just saw in Mafia 2.
Anyway, I think most of us can agree on that the game looked good.
But now the game.
I actually quite liked the story, I liked the main characters right away, enjoyed the dialogue and laughed out loud a few times.
Very well done, especially for a game.
I must confess there have been games where I did not bother letting the cut scenes play out, being to impatient, wanting to play on.
Not with Mafia 2.
And the best thing about it, is that it gave me a bit of a depressed feeling.
Driving around the city, alone, no mamma, sister not wanting to have anything to do with me, not trusting my friends, just having lost my home to fire... it felt a bit hopeless, the shallowness of a life of crime.
The ending as well, even though crime did pay in goods and riches, in the end our hero was poor in many other ways.
Sorry for the philosophical rant there
So in short, I loved just about everything about the game, the look, the gameplay, the shootouts, etc.
I was just in awe of being in a fierce firefight and seeing just about EVERYTHING being shot to pieces around me.
Stuff breaking and falling over everywhere.
But of course there are things I didn't like either.
I care a lot about realism and although I know that it is very demanding on a computer, I would liked to have seen bodies and damage not disappear in front of me.
Truly fantastic that when you shoot someone in a shop, police comes and it is turned into a crime scene, but during the fight itself it is annoying to me to see bullet holes and the bodies of police men magically disappear.
These are of course minor complaints that you could repeat for countless other games.
A stronger complaint, one I seem to share with many others, is regarding the storyline and the shortness of the game.
It was all over a bit too soon, too dramatically.
Once you figure out how to be a good shot, even the final big fight is not that hard to master.
And then poof, it is all over.
I don't mind sudden endings and even endings that make you feel bad (poor Joe!) but at least you should sort of be able to accept it, understand it and feel that it is a good ending.
I didn't quite feel this way about Mafia 2.
If a game has such strong characters and makes you actually like some of these piles of pixels on two legs, they should use that more.
Do I have any right of speaking?
Maybe, I have written scripts for tv and published two books, so I think I may know a little bit about story writing.
You are left with many questions at the end, almost like a "Watch next week for the conclusion of our story" sort of end.
We don't need to know everything, not everything has to be explained, but well the end was a bit sudden and odd.
I would have preferred an ending where you are told that because of all the mess you are in your career in the family has ended, you will spend the rest of your life doing a boring job or being a small time crook.
AND then after a nice little movie you return to your dirty small apartment and are told that the game is over and you can now free roam, do little missions and just cause trouble as much as you like.
That last bit SHOULD of course be in the game once you finish it.
Now I have to go load a scene every time I just want to go for a little cruise.
I wouldn't like a happy ending, but it would be perhaps more satisfying to most.
Because the one positive thing about the game is the strength of friendship, these two childhood friends remain loyal to each other trough a lot of trouble.
So, perhaps predictable and a bit soft, but a good old final chapter where our hero shoots the men in his car, jumps behind the wheel and saves his friend before the sail off into the sunset to begin a new life (with fake mustaches) would at least feel a bit more like a real ending.
What I missed most though is the lack of sidemissions and storylines regarding the other people in the game.
As I said before, you actually grow to like these characters.
But many we rarely see back.
We love our mamma, we love our sister, we even love our old neighbourhood where people in the street welcome us back from the war.
I think it would have been great if there had been a few missions regarding these people.
We only have to do something regarding our sister once, that could have happened a lot more.
How about we help the old street with some of their local issues, beat up a drunk causing trouble for everyone, make sure a dead beat landlord fixes some of the falling apart buildings, make the city council clean the area.
Mamma is great, she deserves more of our attention.
How about we help her find a new home, how about when she gets ill we race her to the hospital.
Our sister, we care so much about her, we beat up her husband, but we never go visit before that happens?
How about we do a few missions for her as well, maybe meet her husband when he is still cool and friendly (making the beating him up mission harder or at least more interesting), help them get a new apartment, beat up their neighbours who cause trouble or maybe kick some dopeheads out of their house so your sister can move in
Doing missions for the most important people in your life besides the mafia will make it even harder and more depressing at the end when your mother dies when you're in jail and your sister never wants to see you again.
Imagine having a mission where you get to visit your sister at her new home, see your nephew (soooo cute, looks just like you when you're a kid), see this idyllic 1950s home life that you will never have.
Spend christmas with this lovely family, feel the envy but also feel happy for them... just to see it all fall apart later when you beat the husband up.
Maybe one final mission where you hear about your nephew having trouble and you secretly follow him to take care of his bullies of to make sure he doesn't get into the life you are into.
Missions like these will be a fun alternative to all the gangster missions, they will make you like the characters even more and it will be even harder to later have no contact with them anymore.
I would also liked to have seen more progress.
You quickly make a lot of money that you can't really spend on much.
But as a gangster you don't move up in the world much.
You go from crappy apartment to 1 nice house and then back to crappy apartment.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THE APARTMENTS, absolutely stunning locations, great overall look and feel.
I think that it is great that we eventually lose the nice house, it actually hurts a bit and the general game story of 'in the end crime does not really pay after all' is a depressing but good one.
But this could have been made more extreme by giving us more apartments to live in and destroying the best one later on in the game.
We have thousands of dollars, why not let us rent a fancy room in a luxerious hotel, move on to a even nicer house in a better part of town?
The more luxury you give us the more it hurts when it goes up in flames.
But in the end, and I think I agree with most people on this forum here, the main thing that is really bad about the game is that when you finish it all, there isn't a free roam option.
Game over, now click here to drive around a bit, do little jobs to make money so you can perhaps go back to living at the nice hotel, just have some fun.
Anyway, having said all that, I still LOVED the game.
Mostly for the stunning experience of driving around the fantastic historical locations.

Readers who have never picked up Dashiell Hammett's 1930 detective novel The Maltese Falcon nor viewed the classic 1941 film adaptation, which follows the novel practically word-for-word, might feel a strong sense of familiarity when they first encounter the story. In this book, Hammett invented the hardboiled private eye genre, introducing many of the elements that readers have come to expect from detective stories: the mysterious, alluring woman whose love may be a trap; the search for an exotic icon that people are willing to kill for; the detective who plays on both sides of the law to find the truth, but who ultimately is driven by a strong moral code; and enough gunplay and beatings to make readers share the detective's sense of danger. Throughout the decades, countless writers have copied Hammett's themes and motifs, seldom able to come anywhere near his near-perfect blend of cynicism and excitement.
Hammett is considered one of those rare writers whose critical esteem has exceeded the small genre in which he wrote. A former detective himself, he wrote about the business with a sharp eye for procedural details, but he also showed a knack for engaging dialogue and understanding of the depths of the human soul. In his lifetime Hammett was considered an excellent detective writer, producing five novels, over eighty short stories, and numerous scripts for Hollywood and radio.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (USA TODAY/WUSA)-- The head of the Connecticut Public Schools Superintendent's Association told CBS News that the mother of the gunman "had no relationship with the school."
The association also said that the victim's bodies have been identified and have been removed from the school, according to CBS News.
The elementary school shooting that left 20 children dead took place Friday morning in Newton, Ct. A lone gunman shot and killed his mother, then drove to a school and went on a shooting rampage Friday morning, killing 26 people in all, before turning a gun on himself.
The shooter was identified by the Associated Press as Adam Lanza, 20, who was found dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary School of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Connecticut State Police says Lanza forced his way into the building, according to AP. The incident -- among the worst school shootings in U.S. history -- is the latest in a series of mass shootings in the U.S. this year, including Tuesday's assault by a lone gunman at a Portland, Ore., shopping mall that left two dead and one wounded. Three weapons were found - a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car. USA TODAY's Kevin Johnson quoted a federal law enforcement official as saying the guns had been legally bought and registered by the shooter's 52-year-old mother, Nancy Lanza. Ryan Lanza, the suspect's 24-year-old brother, was questioned by law enforcement in Hoboken, N.J., and said Adam was believed to suffer from a personality disorder. He told police that he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.
Restaurant owner Mark Tambascio, a family friend, said Nancy Lanza told him recently that her son Adam had Asperger syndrome, that he was "getting out of control and that she might need special help for him." Tambascio told USA TODAY's Gary Stoller that Nancy was a good-hearted person who was "always doing something for some cause."
He also noted that she liked to target shoot, which could explain the guns registered in her name that were in Adam's possession. Law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity said Adam Lanza killed his mother early Friday, then drove to the school in her car with the three guns, walked into the building around 9:40 a.m. ET, shortly after classes began, and opened fire. Police said the shootings took place in two rooms in one section of the school building, including a kindergarten classroom. Theodore Varga said he was in a meeting with other fourth-grade teachers when he heard the gunfire, but there was no lock on the door. He said someone turned on the public address system so that "you could hear the hysteria that was going on. I think whoever did that saved a lot of people. Everyone in the school was listening to the terror that was transpiring." As the shooting erupted, quick-thinking teachers and faculty members hid some students in closets and bathrooms, while others rounded up students and spirited them out of the building. Children lucky enough to escape the carnage fled in frightened groups -- some crying, some holding hands -- as they were escorted from the single-story school by teachers. Witnesses reported up to 100 shots were fired. State Police Lt. Paul Vance said the murder scene was so gruesome that first responders, including tactical squad police, were provided counseling later in the day. "This was a tragic, horrific scene they encountered,'' he said. Vance told reporters Friday night that the medical examiner and other officers were working through the night to identify the dead and to try to determined how the grim events unfolded. He said he hoped to release the names of the victims -- and the gunman -- on Saturday.
Vance said 18 of the children and six adults died at the school. Two other children were pronounced dead after they were taken to local hospitals. One wounded victim was hospitalized.
Alexis Wasik, a third-grader at the school, said police were checking everybody inside the school before they were escorted to the firehouse. She said she heard shots and saw her former nursery school teacher being taken out of the building on a stretcher but didn't know if the woman had been shot. "We had to walk with a partner," said Alexis, 8. One child leaving the school said that there was shattered glass everywhere. A police officer ran into the classroom and told them to run outside and keep going until they reached the firehouse, The Hartford Courant reported.

Kat Hendrikse is a session drummer extraordinaire. In the past 30 years he's played on over 10,000 TV commercials and numerous TV shows, as well as albums that have sold in excess of 30 million. He's played drums with jazz legends like Art Pepper and Paul Horn, and Rock Legends Heart.
Our original intent was to produce a drum loop sample CD using very basic recording techniques, we didn't want that high gloss produced sound of the 90's but rather more of a off the record 70's vibe. We wanted stuff that had detail and variation in performance, and a broad spectrum of tone. We experimented with compression, gating, EQ and noise reduction, often in radical amounts. The mic configuration was basic kick, snare and a pair of stereo overheads. No outboard effects were used and the results we recorded straight to DAT. Ayotte drums were used for the acoustic loops and we've included a handful of loops using a MIDI kit and various drum modules. We hope you like the results.

Casino opponents swept the town selectmen's race on Monday in stark public rebuke of Wynn Resorts and the casino developer's plans to build a billion-dollar gambling resort across from Gillette Stadium. Though the casino proposal from Las Vegas mogul Steve Wynn was not on the ballot, the issue dominated the campaign, and the race came to be seen as a referendum on the project. The vote shifts the five-member board further against the project, with four selectmen opposed to the casino and just one willing to entertain more information on it.

NALEO Conference (right-click to copy direct link)
Lake Buena Vista, Florida Friday, June 22, 2012
Pres. Obama spoke about his immigration policy at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials' (NALEO) 29th annual conference in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and other officials are also spoke.
The U.S. Hispanic population grew to 50 million in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, making the Latino vote a key factor in the battleground states of Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia where Hispanics are concentrated.
President Obama is expected to benefit from Hispanic voters due to a recent Department of Homeland Security directive that temporarily postpones the deportation of young illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children by their parents.
Preceding the President's address, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) and Labor Sec. Hilda Solis made remarks to the audience.
Also Friday, President Obama delivered remarks at a grassroots event at Hillsborough Community College's Dale Mabry Campus in Tampa, Florida.
Yesterday, presumptive GOP Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney told the NALEO delegates that President Obama took their votes for granted, but he added, "You do have an alternative." Republicans are counting on high unemployment numbers in the Hispanic community to turn these voters away from the President.
Friday morning, Senior Obama Campaign Strategist David Axelrod and and Leo Hindery, Jr., Managing Partner of InterMedia Partners held a conference call on a Washington Post article on Mitt Romney's record of outsourcing jobs.

ATLANTA (AP) — Swine flu cases are down, but health officials say the disease's cumulative impact has grown to 57 million U.S. illnesses, 257,000 hospitalizations and 11,690 deaths.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the new estimates Friday. They represent cases from the time swine flu was first identified in April through mid-January — the first nine months of the pandemic.
The numbers represent increases of about 4 percent from the CDC's last estimates, which covered the first eight months. New swine flu cases peaked in October but declined since, and have not been widespread in any state for more than a month.

*Warning: this story may contain bad marijuana puns.*
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Will legal marijuana now lure skiers away from Utah?
Well, ABC 4 News is being told that question has now come up among state skiing officials.
Last week, Colorado voters approved a ballot initiative to make pot legal.
And almost as soon as they did, Utah ski types began wondering: will Colorado dope keep skiers off Utah slope-s.
It's no secret that Utah and Colorado have long argued which is a better ski joint.
Bud now, with the passage of legal pot in Colorado, the stakes may have gotten even higher.
Here's our exchange with Nathan Rafferty of Ski Utah:
ABC 4: "Why would people come to Utah, when they now could go to Colorado and, maybe...
Rafferty: "Smoke dope?"
ABC 4: "Yeah."
Rafferty: "Well, that's a good question."
Skiing in Utah brings in 1.2 billion dollars to the state's economic pot and legally rolling a fatty in Colorado - at least in theory - could steal some green from our state.
But Utah ski and tourism executives say attracting bongers isn't the business they are after.
David Williams of the Utah Office of Tourism told us,
"I don't think that's an issue. We are targeting our campaign at families."
Families, we were told, want ski resorts that are close and have runs with lots of powder.
In fact, says Rafferty, skiers and boarders who smoke might make Colorado a bad trip,
"You might find the reaction the opposite. You might find people come here because there aren't people smoking dope."

Jeff Smith spent a year in prison. But what he discovered inside wasn't what he expected -- he saw in his fellow inmates boundless ingenuity and business savvy. He asks: Why don't we tap this entrepreneurial potential to help ex-prisoners contribute to society once they're back outside? (From the TED Talent Search event TED@NewYork.)
Once an up-and-coming star in the Missouri State Senate, Jeff Smith went to prison for covering up an election law violation. Since his release, he's created a new space for himself as a professor, writer, political commentator and advocate for those he was locked up with. Full bio »

When you actually share the verses that you feel back up your statements, then maybe people will be more willing to have a conversation with you. You may even find some who agree with you.
Also, may I suggest introducing yourself and letting us get to know you before you come in and start "preaching to the choir."
I'm not sure where the "narcissism" comes from. However, we are to test all teachers against scripture to see if they hold up to God's word. You have less than 10 posts, you don't know any of us or what we believe. You'd rather come in and assume you know what we do and do not believe.
extraordinary wrote:You mean like Jesus, Paul, and evangelists today, suggest (no, claim it)?
Is narcissism someone giving an explanation of the gospel and the reasons for it?
Is narcissism someone teaching scriptural truth?
What is the problem with you people anyway?
Aaaaaah, wait, I get it ... you people aren't interested in scriptural truth.
You'd rather throw rocks at the messenger.
