- Heat a large saucepan and dry-fry the cumin seeds and chilli flakes for 1 min, or until they start to jump around the pan and release their aromas. Scoop out about half of the seeds with a spoon and set aside. Add the oil, carrot, lentils, stock and milk to the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins until the lentils have swollen and softened.
- Whizz the soup with a stick blender or in a food processor until smooth (or leave it chunky if you prefer). Season to taste and finish with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkling of the reserved toasted spices. Serve with warmed naan breads.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, October 2005
Comments, questions and tips
An excellent base recipe - lovely sweetness of the carrots balanced by spice from the chilli and complemented by the flavour of cumin seeds. Didn't mind the thickness, although I can see it would work with a little more stock.
It was a little bland - I'll add more chilli flakes at the beginning next time, plenty of black pepper and perhaps adjust with hot sauce to taste.
Also, the picture shows fresh coriander to serve; this is a brilliant addition if you've got some knocking around.
Absolutely fantastic healthy, delicious soup. Very easy to make as only a few ingredients. We now have included it as part of our staple weekly diet. I don't grate the carrot as that is a bit fiddly, but just cut the carrots into chunks instead and then blend the mixture at the end. Best ever soup I've made and now adventuring out and using as a base to add other thing too. :-)
Delicious and nutritious. As has been said, you can save time & effort by chopping the carrots (instead of grating them) and using lentils from a tin (throwing them in shortly before whizzing). Also I find that toasting the spices is best done while watching from a distance as the fumes are very offensive to the lungs.
I am waiting for a knee replacement which doc won't do till my BMI is down to a safe level so I am on a self imposed soup diet. My knees give me so much pain that I am unable to walk very far, well round the house on crutches is about all, so in order to lose weight without exercise and still eat healthily here I finding lovely soups.
I didn't really change the recipe, no need to, it tastes great, I love the slight kick from the chillies, actually now that I am thinking about it, I may increase the size of my pinch next time. I do add a sprinkling of nuts to my meals on serving, just to help keep protein levels up, but it's the soup that I'm enjoying. Hearty, tasty and filling and although I don't have the bread with it, it still sees me through to the next meal.I am very happy with it, a tasty way to lose weight.
This is a lovely soup. So many carrot soups include fresh ginger and I'm not a big fan, so this ginger-free one is now my preferred carrot soup recipe. I didn't use the milk, I just put a cube of creamed coconut in to enrichen it and a touch of extra water. It went well with pittas that I made using Paul Hollywood's recipe.
Sadly I didn't love mine. Coconut worked fine in the dairy free version. Adding hot stock to the hot pan after I dry fried in it didn't work for me - it burned the chilli. It needs a dash more liquid if you are a bread dunker. It needs a fair amount of blitzing until there are no carrot strips left, else they flop off the spoon on to your chin.
This is the first time I've ever made soup (I know! Shame on me!). I made it yesterday and found it really quick and easy to make, I popped it in the fridge overnight and then reheated for 10 minutes in a pan for lunch today for colleagues. Served with soda bread and salad, it tasted lovely and was very well received. I now have to send the recipe to everyone and will definitely make again.
I used a fresh chilli chopped finely instead of chilli flakes.

What a farce. Democrats first praised Hillary, then asked her softball questions.
Republicans each made a speech about their opinions, then grandstanded.
As expected Chris Matthews thought she was magnificent and will be a great president in 2016, and as expected Fox at 6 edited it so that the questions were condemning and they barely played her responses - which well knocked down the Republican attacks.
Surprisingly even Fox's Brit Hume admitted that Hillary came away unscathed, but he blamed it on the Inquisitors blowing the interrogation.The real loser was Rand Paul, who displayed himself as a petulant child, saying he would have fired her. Rand Paul, who thinks he is a contender in 2016, is merely a complainer and does nothing positive - he only appeals to the smaller and smaller Tea Party, who have proven to be ineffective and irrelevant in 2013.
Hillary kept her composure through the attacks, responding forcefully and firmly when appropriate, and came off as the adult in the room.
Rand Paul was one of the champions in the process.

Dagos tabi kamo! mga padi and madi... (";)
A journey to the majestic Mt. Mayon, comes to reality... one of Asia's best kept secret. Mabuhay!
Mayon Volcano is an active volcano, Southeastern Luzon, Philipines, dominating the city of Legazpi. Called the world's most perfect cone, it has a base 80 miles (130km) in circumference deed rises to 7,943 feet (2.421m) from the shores of Albay Gulf. Popular with climbers and campers, it is the centre of Mayon Volcano National Park (21 square miles [55 square km]). This is one of the Paradise Philippine Treasure.
Mayon is classified by volcanologists as a stratovolcano (composite volcano). Its symmetic cone was formed through alternate pyroclastic and lava flows. Mayon is the most active volcano in the country, having erupted over 50 times in the past 400 years.
Like others volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean, Mayon is a part of the 'Pacific Ring Of Fire'.
Mayon has had forty seven eruptions in recorded history; the first recorded eruption was in 1616, Destruction in 1766, was narrated to the Frenchman Jean Mallat who was travelling to the Philippines in the 19th-century, He wrote: "The Mayon' a volcano situated a short distance from the pueblo of Albay...The most destructive eruption was in February 01, 1814 which buried settlements of Cagsawa, Camalig and Budiao in the town of Daraga Albay, and the same of Guinobatan...the darkness reached places as distant as Manila and Ilocos region, the ashes, some have vouched , went even to China, and thunderclips were heard in many parts of the Archipelago. 1,200 people perished, only the bell tower of the town's church remained above the new surface. This eruption is most famous for reducing Cagsawa to ruins, leaving us the lonely tower, a romantic reminder of Mayon's fury.
In Mayon's last fatal eruption in 1993, no casualties were recorded, from the 1984 eruption after more than 73,000 people were evacuated from the danger zones.
Five hundred fifty three kilometers from Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, rises a near perfect cone volcano and one of the seven wonders in the world, the famous Mayon Volcano. Its summit measures 2,421 meters above sea level (masl) while its circular base has a radius of about 48 kilometers. Mayon Volcano is surrounded by five (5) municipalities and three (3) cities with a total land area of 5,775.70 hectares. Its symmetrical form at any horizontal direction made this volcano a truly scenic wonder. Mt. Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, records showed that a total of 47 periodic eruptions occurred during the last 323 years. The earliest volcanic eruption occurred in February 1814, which has caused severe destruction and the worst bringing cagsawa in a complete ruin of the town and submersed it to mud, boulders and ash. Another destructive eruption occurred in 1897 and the latest occurred in June 2001. But inspite of the rearing threats faced by Albayanos, Mt. Mayon is still loved and admired regarding it as their fountain of strength and persistence. Mt. Mayon was first shaped by Republic Act 3915 dated February 1, 1932 mandating the establishment of National Park. On October 24, 1932, it was proclaimed as Forest Reserve per Presidential Proclamation No. 341 and finally on July 20, 1938, Mayon was proclaimed as National Park by the late President Manuel l. Quezon per Presidential Proclamation No. 292 covering an area of 5,458.65 hectares. Recently, on November 21, 2001, Pres. Proclamation No. 413 was signed by then President Joseph Ejercito Estrada declaring Mt. Mayon Volcano as Natural Park. The area is abundant with varieties of rare and endangered flora, some of which were listed in the Convention of International Trade of Endangered Specied (CITES), among them are the Nepenthes rajali commonly known as pitcher plant and Cyatheaceae spp. or tree ferns. The climb to Mt. Mayon is in turn famous among local and foreign mountaineers. From time to time, Mayon conquest expedition is being undertaken and sponsored by the Department of Tourism (DOT). Reaching the summit will take two (2) days and one (1) night with a stop over at different designated camp site. Area: 5,775.70 hectares Highest point: 2,421 masl Flora and Fauna: The area is forested from 450 masl to 1,000 masl mostly tree forms and other associated tree ferns. Mossy forest from 800 masl to 1,200 masl. One hundred fifty six (156) species of plants belonging to 36 families are known to occur which includes one (1) dipterocarp species Hopea philippinensis. CITES listed Nepenthes rajali and Cyatheae spp. grows here. Fifty seven (57) species of birds like Otus megalotis (Philippine scops owl), Gallus gallus (Red jungle fowl), Ptilinopus merrily (Merrill?s fruit dove), Loriculus philippinensis (Phil. Hanging Parakeet), Bubophilippinensis (Phil. horned owl), and more than 34 herpetofaunal species and 13 mammalian species have been recorded. Activities: Mountain climbing/Hiking, camping, bird watching, photography Amenities: Shade houses, benchesm comfort room, administration building, ecotrails, and water facilities How to get there: The distance from manila by air is approximately 205 statute miles taking a plane to Legazpi City. Flights are available everyday. It is also accessible by land transportation through the Quirino highway and approximately 553 kilometers or 523 miles away. Journey takes about 8 to 10 hours, aircon buses depart daily from Manila to Legazpi. Recommended tours and other interesting place to visit: Mayon Skyline Hotel at Buang, Tabaco City Cagsawa Ruins at Daraga, Albay Centennial Forest at Lidong, Sto. Domingo, Albay
Mayon Volcano National Park with its diverse natural and cultural resources plus its ecotourism potential is one of the chosen banner sites and a premere ecotourism destination in the Philippines.

The Tractors
The Tractors
The Tractors were one of the country-rock bands to benefit from the modern country boom of the early '90s. With their good-time boogie and rootsy country-rock, the Tractors were able to send their eponymous debut to platinum status. Although based in Tulsa, all of the members of the Tractors -- guitarist Steve Ripley, bassist Ron Getman, vocalist Casey Van Beek, keyboardist Walt Richmond, and drummer Jamie Oldaker -- were well-known Nashville session musicians before they came to prominence in the early '90s. The group landed a contract with Arista Records and released their self-titled debut album in the summer of 1994. Supported by the hit single "Baby Likes to Rock It," the record became a Top Ten country hit, eventually selling over two million copies. Instead of following the debut with a standard second record, the band released a holiday album, Have Yourself a Tractors Christmas, in the fall of 1995. Like its predecessor, the Christmas record was a hit, although it didn't come close to replicating the chart status of The Tractors. The bandmembers took most of 1996 off, spending time with their families and working on side projects, as lead songwriter Steve Ripley prepared material for the Tractors' third album, Farmers in a Changing World, which was finally released in the autumn of 1998. Fast Girl followed in 2001, but then there was an eight-year wait before Trade Union appeared in 2009. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

9 Facts About Ocean Conservation
World Oceans Day is June 8. Vast as they seem, the oceans and the fate of fish, turtles and other wildlife is in our hands. Oceana offers simple ways to help.
By Oceana North America
Give Sea Turtles a Hand
If you live in a beachfront home, help sea turtles during the nesting and hatching seasons by turning off white outdoor lights at night or covering them with red cellophane.
Sea turtles use the light of the moon to return to the ocean and get confused by other bright white lights, but are less disturbed by red lights. Nesting and hatching typically takes place June through November.
Like sea turtles? See which fish to avoid buying at the fish market in order to protect loggerhead turtles.
Why Oceans Need Our Help
Global fisheries are on the verge of collapse. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, 80 percent of the world's fisheries are now overexploited, fully exploited, depleted or recovering from overexploitation by fishermen.
Overfishing isn't the only problem. Erosion, along with fertilizer and pesticide runoff from both farms and residential neighborhoods, contributes to pollution of near-shore waters, where more than 400 dead zones have been documented worldwide. Global warming is increasing ocean temperatures. Ocean acidification, another consequence of global warming, threatens the viability of ocean ecosystems in the decades ahead. Some have gone so far as to suggest that we're sending the oceans back to some primordial stew, full of algae, jellyfish and not much else.
It doesn't have to end up that way. That's why The Daily Green is teaming up with Oceana to provide you with these simple tips that each of us can do to help. Oceana's mission is to "make our oceans as rich, healthy and abundant as they were in our grandparents youth.... a future in which dolphin sightings are common along any temperate coast; in which the mighty swordfish, marlin and tuna are abundant once again; in which whales and sea turtles thrive, cod are plentiful on both sides of the Atlantic, local fishing cultures evolve rather than decline and in which fish are a safe, growing and plentiful source of food around the world." What follows are a few steps we all can do to ensure that we choose that future of abundance.
Carry Reusable Bags
Plastic debris in the ocean degrades marine habitats and contributes to the deaths of marine animals. Because floating plastic often resembles food to many marine birds, sea turtles and marine mammals, they can choke or starve because their digestive systems get blocked when they eat it.
Help prevent these unnecessary deaths by using reusable water bottles and cloth grocery bags like the Oceana tote bag.
Buy Ocean-Friendly Cosmetics and Jewelry
Steer clear of cosmetics containing shark-based squalene (look at your moisturizer and sunscreen in particular) and jewelry made of coral or tortoiseshell. These products are directly linked to unsustainable fishing and harm to entire ecosystems.
Use products with olive-based squalene and adorn yourself with local handmade jewelry through craft fairs or online markets like Etsy.
Reduce Your Energy Use
Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels doesnt just affect the terrestrial world its making our oceans more acidic and inhospitable. Scientists agree that we could face a mass extinction of corals in this century as their calcium skeletons are weakened by the increasing acidity of the water.
There are many simple ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. Ride a bike, walk or use public transportation. Use high efficiency appliances in your home. Turn off appliances when they arent in use. Turn up your thermostat a few degrees in the summer and down a few degrees in the winter. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs in your house. For more information, see oceana.org/climate.
Beyond carbon, power plants are also a major source of mercury. Coal-burning and chlorine plants release mercury into the atmosphere, and it eventually accumulates in the flesh of some of the bigger fish.
Avoid fish that contain high levels of mercury, a neurotoxin that attacks the central nervous system. The FDA recommends that children and women who may become pregnant avoid high-mercury fish like swordfish, tilefish and king mackerel, and to eat only the equivalent of one tuna sandwich a week. Many grocery stores post the FDA warning at seafood counters to help you make your decisions. Check out Oceanas Green List to see if your local store posts the information.
Use Less Fertilizer
Excess fertilizer eventually ends up in the ocean. One result is the appearance of "dead zones" areas with very low levels of oxygen in the water. In the Gulf of Mexico, a dead zone the size of New Jersey forms during the spring and summer. Since all marine life requires oxygen to live, they must flee the area or die. Many other coastal areas are at risk too. Use fertilizer sparingly if you feel you must use it.
See The Daily Green's organic lawn care tips to learn how to keep your yard healthy without excess fertilizers or other harsh chemicals.
Enjoy Corals and Marine Life Firsthand
When planning your vacations, consider scuba diving. Not only will it bring you face to flipper with marine animals and ecosystems, your tourist dollars give a good reason for political leaders in the US and other nations to protect reefs. Oceanas report Sea the Value found that divers were willing to pay an additional $55.35 per dive on average if it meant seeing healthy corals.
The Daily Green recommends seeing how you can assist in research while scuba diving with a volunteer vacation or other underwater citizen science project.
Choose Your Seafood Wisely
Look for special terms like line-caught or diver-caught when buying fish, or use a downloadable seafood guide. Ask questions. For two of America's most popular fish, remember these tips:
Tuna: Say no to bluefin tuna. This sushi-grade fish, known along with other tuna as toro, is not only costly but also imperiled by extinction, with Atlantic populations close to a 90% decline from historic levels. Avoid the cost and guilt by ordering some ahi tuna instead.
Salmon: Choose wild Alaskan salmon over farmed or Atlantic salmon (which usually doesnt come from the Atlantic Ocean). Wild salmon is not only tastier, but healthier for the environment. Farmed salmon causes a lot of pollution and contributes to overfishing since it takes 4 to 11 pounds of wild fish to create one pound of farmed salmon.
Watch The End of the Line
Narrated by Oceana board member Ted Danson, The End of the Line is the first major documentary to show the effects of overfishing.
The movie features Dr. Daniel Pauly, the renowned fisheries scientist and Oceana board member who led research discovering that the global fish catch actually peaked in the 1980s and has been declining ever since. Take your friends and get the facts. Check out endoftheline.com for screenings in your area.
Make Some Waves
Sign up to become a Wavemaker, an Oceana online activist. Become an active voice in our campaigns to stop habitat destruction, overfishing and pollution.
Oceanas Wavemakers have successfully persuaded companies to stop selling shark products in cosmetics, advocated for sea turtles around the world and helped close the Arctic to industrial fishing. Your voice matters. Sign up today at oceana.org/join.

Great Game - Horrible Packaging
By mc07
from Undisclosed
This game is very educational. Another one that is geared toward busy little boys! I couldn't be happier with it. What I am NOT happy with is the fact that I purchased it at a local store, only to open it and find that it is ONLY a cartridge!!! The other games I have purchased came straight from LF... nice case included. I paid just as much for a cartridge - WITH NO CASE AS I DID WITH THOSE WITH CASE!!! My child will lose this without something to keep it in. I guess I'll fall back on good old Ziploc. This will be the last game I purchase, unless I get it directly from LF online. I mean, what's going on? Is making parents irritated worth the extra few bucks??? The Leappad is an exceptional product, but I'm down one case (zipper broke within one day), one set of earphones (elastic is too loose for cover to stay on), and two cartridge cases... within a WEEK! Please fix this problem LP.
Worth The Buy.

My 3 1/2 year old enjoys this game as he loves Spongebob. He can't quite get the driving part of the game down, but he is a master at recognizing his letters in the mini games offered. And even though he can't drive well enough to race, it still never stops him from playing it. I feel like this game is good for his age, because it can grow with him and he'll always have a reason to play it.

We all get older, and so are our beloved dogs. As their parents we should be able to recognize the signs of aging, pain or health issues, and treat them the best we can. Some pet owners don't know or don't want to care for older dogs' so they give them to a shelter. These dogs (and cats) usually don't find home to spend their golden years in, and they are euthanized. Since they live longer than ever, because of medicine advances for pets (and human), the chances of illnesses in senior dogs are bigger, and so are at least relief if not complete cure.
The signs for aging dog are varied and are not the same with all. In general they are not as active as before and the energy levels decrease, difficulty rising out of bed, the stairs may become an issue, they are not interested in their toys, they have pain, they rather stay home then go for a walk, they may have "accidents" at home, and other health issues.
How old is old and life expectancy is a question that from my research has many answers. In Wikipedia "
The aging profile of dogs varies according to their adult size (often determined by their breed): smaller dogs often live over 15–16 years, medium and large size dogs typically 10 to 13 years, and some giant dog breeds such as mastiffs, often only 7 to 8 years. The latter also matures slightly older than smaller breeds—giant breeds becoming an adult around two years old compared to the norm of around 12–15 months for other breeds."
The most important thing to do with aging pet is visiting the vet on a regular basis. You do not need to go crazy with costly tests, etc. Talk to your vet about his condition. What are the recommendation regarding treatment (if any), food type, exercise and how often you should see the vet.
For in home help, first – give him lots of love!!! Then, you may consider an orthopedic bed, especially for dog with joint problems and arthritis. You can put a chair as a step, or a ramp, so he can climb into your bed (or any other high place), if it's a place he use to be on. Keep his weight balanced by giving him senior dog food and if he is not as active as before, be careful with the treats as they have a lot of fat. For high dog, you can use a food feeder that suit his height so he does not need to bend for the food. In addition, let him out more often for his basic needs. If long walks are too hard for him go on short walks, more times a day. Use the "bottom-up" leash or harness for arthritic or disabled dog when walking him. It is very important for dogs to move around and not stay in one place for hours. Lack of movement can make pain and stiffness from arthritis worse.

Mr. Yohalem's choice: |
Given its reputation as perhaps the supreme
opera, Mozarts Don Giovanni escapes the lacquer that might otherwise enshrine
it because the subject is intrinsically subversive. No one would be more delighted to
prick the balloon of sacrosanctity, one feels, than Don Giovanni himself, who sends up
every law of man and God and is magnificent even in his ultimately tragic isolation from
the rest of humanity.
The Don claims to adore women, but this is difficult to believe: he is
never seen taking a woman seriously, or attempting to reach her except to appease
his lust. Is it lust for pleasure or lust for conquest that motivates him, or simply the
determination to satisfy whatever impulse he feels at any given moment? We cannot be sure,
and because of that we cannot be sure how we ourselves feel about him. For that reason, as
well as for the gorgeous music he gets to sing, we succumb to his insidious charm. Yet,
aside from his ultimate defiance of the Statue that bids him repent, a cry of
"No!" that defies the divine order itself, does anything that he sings express
the soul of the man? Is not all of it pretense, a set of masks designed to hoodwink
others? We assume he has the self-consciousness of the great dramatic characters because
Mozart and da Ponte have made him too intelligent not to possess it, but what sort of self
does he believe in? And does he take anything outside that self seriously?
For the Metropolitan Opera House to use Don Giovanni to open its
season piles another irony on top of the rest. Such occasions are not expected to unsettle
but to entertain. The Met brought the gamble off by bringing back Franco Zeffirellis
outsize and splendid production and giving it an A-list cast, including many singers new
to their roles at the Met.
Zeffirellis staging has been much revised by Stephen Lawless. The
greatest improvement comes in the climactic appearance of the Stone Guest, an event the
original staging did not manage with even elementary craft. So enamoured was Zeffirelli of
his image of the grand seigneur alone at the dinner table that he could not bear to put
the tableau anyplace but stage center; it was difficult to find the Statues entrance
terrifying when the maitre d and his posse of waiters removing the table took him no
more seriously than any other inconvenient Party of One. In the revision, the entire
baroque funerary monument from the scene of the invitation rises out of the earth, the Don
defies heaven while standing in mid table, and the whole ensemble sinks together into the
infernal regions. This clears the stage for the final sextet, which seems to come from
some other production. The characters wander aimlessly about the stage in a fashion that
recalls Magritte, and not merely because Donna Elvira wields an umbrella with the devotion
most Elviras feel towards a crucifix.
The word most suited to this staging would be "busy," and not
just because Don Giovanni is already an opera crammed with incident. None of the
singers are permitted to "stand and deliver" in even the most contemplative of
their arias, but are directed into constant movement. Hei-Kyung Hong, who sang Zerlina
lusciously, deserves credit for doing both her arias in postures out of the Kama Sutra,
her phrasing the more a marvel because most of the time she has her legs in the air being
stroked by John Relyeas Masetto. (This may also account for the unevenness of her
fioritura.) Too, like Jonathan Millers Le Nozze di Figaro two years ago, this
Don Giovanni subscribes to the notion that in formal 17th-century Spain,
gentlemen of fashion seldom addressed the fair sex without sticking their hands into the
ladies underclothing. This may be proper behavior nowadays all over the Met
one can see polite society engaging in just such flirtatious gentilities, although
forwardness is no longer restricted to one gender but it looks out of place, absurd
and tasteless in stagings of classic works set in earlier eras.
Bryn Terfel sang his first Don Giovanni with the company, and not since
Cesare Siepi has the Met boasted a Don who seemed so involved in the part. He has made the
conscious choice not to be charming, as Siepi was: a gentleman with an ethical blind spot,
but a gentleman still. Rather, in accordance with current gender politics perhaps, Terfel
portrays a cold, even brutal egoist, incapable of treating anyone, even his faithful
servant, Leporello, with anything but contempt and, not far behind it, violence. So thin
is the mask on his cruelty that its hard to believe he could fascinate Donna Elvira
and Zerlina in the brief time it takes him to get any female (and her lingerie) under his
thumb. He adds to the Satanic aspects of the character by guessing peoples
identities while ostentatiously facing in other directions a neat if perverse use
of da Pontes recitatives. His ultimate defiance of heavens wrath seems to be
inspired by neither despair nor the fearlessness that is part of a Spanish noblemans
code, but by contempt for God and every other order of being not contained in his own
Musically, the Don was a great improvement on Terfels Figaro.
Eager to show his prowess as an actor, perhaps, and assuming that we all understood he
could sing the role like nobodys business, Terfel spent most of those
performances panting, grunting, groaning and emoting the music in a way that swiftly
became tiresome. His Don Giovanni disdains to sue for our favor, but delivers phrase after
phrase of mellifluous Mozart. The Champagne Aria was swift but not garbled, and the
inability of the mandolin to keep pace with him did not deter him from a gorgeously
phrased serenade.
Ferruccio Furlanetto, the Leporello, sang with unwonted depth and
richness and acted both the comic and the cynic with bitter glee. Paul Groves had a little
trouble with the long, long phrases of "Il mio tesoro", but was by and large as
convincing and liquid-voiced a Don Ottavio as the Met has fielded in years. Sergei
Koptchak, as the Commendatore and the Stone Guest, made up for a lack of physical stature
with exciting, dark-hued sounds. John Relyea looked far too splendid as Masetto to make
his constant humiliation at the hands of his social betters quite credible, and his
singing, if beautiful, was less physically impressive than that of the rest of the cast.
Renee Fleming, Americas sweetheart, sang Donna Anna, and the
emotional confusions of this neurotic lady seemed to suit her vocal second guessing, the
way she sometimes withholds herself from the notes while committing herself to the
gestures. The voice was always lovely, the style unusually free from her tendency to
croon, the acting determined and involved. Its too bad this production (like too
many nowadays) has her being seduced by the Don during the opening trio in both
text and music she is howling for his blood, and he is spitting contempt but she
sang a warm "Non mi dir," while playing with Ottavios hair, and it is a
rare pleasure to hear "Or sai chi lonore" without worrying whether or not
the soprano has the florid technique to handle the ornamental bits while still sounding
If Hei-Kyung Hong lacks any quality, as her career goes from triumph to
triumph, it is a sense of humor or, rather, of mischief. She does get laughs as Zerlina,
while obviously being too tough a nut for any man to trifle with, but this is not a cute
little Zerlina, a Dresden china shepherdess who surprises us with her resilience. Faced
with a Don as sinister as Terfels, that might be a wise choice. Vocally, she has
this one down cold, or at any rate very cool, and, technically, I doubt either Anna or
Elvira would be difficult for her for one thing, her voice, in addition to its
beauty, expressiveness and agility, was the largest on stage after Mr. Koptchaks.
Norwegian soprano Solveig Kringelborn made her New York debut as Donna
Elvira. She is a handsome woman and a good actress Elviras contortions are
not easy to make believable as the behavior of one woman. It was a nice touch to have her
treat Leporellos Catalogue as a joke until, halfway through, reality sinks
in. The voice is attractive but not ideally agile some of the phrases of "Mi
tradi" were more hysterical than the music requires.
Seldom can any Don have had three quite so attractive women to
ill-treat as in this cast. But it was the Maskers trio, from Mmes. Kringelborn and
Fleming and Mr. Groves, that awed the audience to a breathless hush. James Levine
conducted, and the Met orchestra played, suavely and with the greatest excitement and

after reading this thread i started watching this and its fantastic. I love how Raylan just walks up to the 'bad guys' and has a normal conversation with them most of the time. Reminds me of the cafe scene from HEAT, which was on of the best ever.
But one thing that ive noticed is that theres never a front license plate on the cars they drive, and its driving me insane

Thief was one of the original stealth games, a classic that PC gamers still swear by. However, now the game is coming back, courtesy of Square Enix and Eidos Montreal. It's a modern-day reboot with modern-day graphics and modern-day mechanics for a modern-day gaming industry. Yes, this means that our cherished Thief is coming to consoles and not just PCs. That's one point against the reboot right there in the eyes of the PC-gaming master race. But what about the game itself? Does it do the original Thief justice? E3 2013 gave us a chance to check out the game for ourselves in order to find out.
Garret returns as our protagonist and thief extraordinaire, and pilfering the treasures of the world remains his chosen career path. The E3 demo had Garret attempting to infiltrate a heavily guarded fort in order to steal an important artifact. However, the way you infiltrate the fort is pretty much up to you. You can hop over walls, slink down alleyways, or even pull off some Assassin's Creed-style Parkour. Heck, if you really want to, you can simply knock on the front door and try to kill everyone. If you somehow manage to pull it off, great! However, Garret isn't exactly the most beefy of game protagonists out there. While he might be able to get out of a 1v1 scuffle clean, any more than that spells serious danger for our sneaky protagonist.
The primary mechanic of Thief is the series staple Light Gem, which lets you know how visible Garret is based on the light around him. When slinking in the shadows, guards could pass directly in front of Garrett and barely see him. However, when caught in the light of a torch, the alarm will sound, and Garret will need to find a way to escape his pursuers.
Light isn't the only thing you will need to contend with in Thief. Sound is also a big part of stealth. Garrett's footsteps will make different degrees of noise depending on how fast he is moving and what surface he is moving on. Everything Garret does makes noise, whether he is climbing up a platform or just readying his weapon. So you have to be careful what you do and when or else you will arouse suspicion.
Luckily, all the tricks of the thief trade are here to help you out. Even a simple rock can be used to lure a guard away for a stealthy execution. As is the case with modern-day stealth games, you will have to hide bodies, silence enemies, and even snipe them from afar without anyone seeing you. However, even this could arouse suspicion if guards start noticing their friends disappearing, so Garrett has to be sure to not waste time in his missions.
Garrett also has a brand-new ability called Focus. Essentially, Focus is a special sight mode that highlights important objects. This includes intractable pieces of the environment, items you can pick up, and of course, mission objectives. Focus also allows you to see enemies around you and their line of sight, enabling you to sneak around with greater ease. It also slows down time, allowing you to fight or shoot arrows at many different enemies at once. It's a perfect panic button when Garrett has been spotted. Finally, it lets Garrett quickly run between shadows and cover without being seen, allowing you to pass through areas that you normally would be spotted in otherwise. It's pretty much a catch-all "win" button, and you will be using it a lot. Of course, if you don't like being a shadow-fueled agent of death, you can actually turn the Focus option off for a more old-school, Thief-style experience.
Thief strikes an interesting balance between several different types of gameplay. At points, you'll be looking to kill every guard around you, while at other points you know that even the slightest stabbing will result in far more guards descending upon your location. Sometimes you'll have to look around for secret passages or hidden treasure, while other times you'll be asked to pick locks while a guard slowly approaches your location. Heck, there are even plenty of times when the game forces you to get caught, cueing you up for a daring and fast-paced escape.
If I could describe Thief in one word, it would be "tense." However, it's this tension that makes the game so much fun. The idea that the only thing between you and death is a torch and an observant guard makes successful stealthy passages that much more rewarding. It really feels as if the game is rewarding you for being smart, rather than aggressive. Overall, it was a fun preview and looks to be a viable successor to the Thief name.

Dispatches from the Culture Wars - George Stoney Memorial Edition - July 24, 2012 Published by Portside # # # # # George C. Stoney, Documentary Filmmaker, Dies at 96 By Paul Vitello New York Times July 14, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/arts/television/george-c-stoney-documentarian-dies-at-96.html George C. Stoney, a dean of American documentary film and a leader of the citizens movement that gave every American the right to a public-access television show of his or her own, died on Thursday at his home in Manhattan. He was 96. Mr. Stoney, who taught filmmaking at New York University from 1970 until the last year of his life, was acclaimed in equal measure for his roles as a filmmaker, teacher and prophet of social change at the barrel of a camera. Besides mentoring two generations of students, many of whom became prominent in the film industry, Mr. Stoney devoted himself to training community activists in the use of film as a tool for voiceless people. He also had a seminal role in creating public-access television, in a hope that it would become an outlet for that kind of community-building documentary film. [George was an inspiration and mentor to many of us, and a true pioneer and giant in the indie/community media movement - Nan Otek] # # # Guerilla Group Hijacks 30 UK Billboards, Pre-Olympics BuzzFeed Sports July 17, 2012 http://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/brandalism-hijacks-30-uk-billboards-pre-olympics Six artists, including Banksy collaborator Paul Insect, have postered their own work over existing outdoor campaigns to "challenge the destructive impacts of the advertising industry." The group, Brandalism, says it is in reaction to the strict enforcement of branding regulations for the London 2012 Olympics. Installed over five days in one continuous road trip that has covered the length of the country, the Brandalism crew have hit 33 spots in 5 cities. The project promises to add more content to the sites on a regular basis. # # # Disney family member renounces her investments in Israel's Ahava Cosmetics By Amira Hass Haaretz (Israel) Jul.16, 2012 http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/disney-family-member-renounces-her-investments-in-israel-s-ahava-cosmetics.premium-1.451506 Abigail Disney, a filmmaker, businesswoman and granddaughter of Roy O. Disney, who co-founded The Walt Disney Company with his brother Walt, is renouncing her share of the family's profits in the Israeli cosmetics company Ahava due to its location in an 'Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank.' Shamrock Holdings, the family firm in which she is a partner, has invested heavily in Israel. Disney said she will donate the profits and a sum equal to the worth of her shares to "organizations working to end this illegal exploitation." # # # Boy Scout ban on gays to continue By Molly Hennessy-Fiske, Los Angeles Times July 18, 2012 http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-bsa-gay-20120718,0,5267056.story The Girl Scouts have vowed to not exclude gays and lesbians. So have Boys & Girls Clubs and Big Brothers Big Sisters. But the Boy Scouts of America reaffirmed its ban on gays as both scouts and scout leaders, a decision experts say reflects the conservative values of many members and the influence of two powerful benefactors - the Roman Catholic and Mormon churches. Tuesday's announcement came after a confidential two-year review by a special committee formed in 2010. More than 300,000 people have signed a petition urging the Boy Scouts to reinstate Jennifer Tyrrell, a lesbian who was forced to resign as a den mother in Ohio this year. # # # Can Rape Jokes Ever Be Funny? by Sarah Seltzer AlterNet July 13, 2012 http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/1032702/can_rape_jokes_ever_be_funny/#paragraph3 After comedian Daniel Tosh got into a confrontation with a woman at his comedy show over rape jokes, a few strands of furious debate have emerged. Tosh's behavior to the woman as reported was by all accounts totally unacceptable, because rape jokes generally aren't edgy, they're just bullying. But jokes that call attention to rape culture can be funny and even receive the feminist seal of approval. A number of feminists from the Women's Media Center, PopCulturePirate, Women In Media & News, and Fem2pt0 teamed up to create a "supercut" of a variety of rape jokes, and asks audience members to decide for themselves where that line is, what makes them laugh, and what makes them uncomfortable. # # # Occupy LA Stages Artful "Chalk Walk" Protest during City's Art Walk and Draws Riot Police Occupy the Social July 13, 2012 http://www.occupythesocial.com/post/27150570167/chalk-it-up-occupy-la-stages-protest-during-citys-art Occupy LA caused a laugh riot when an absurd demonstration for free speech was met with an even more ridiculous police response. Because twelve members of occupy LA, Occupy the Hood, and Occupy Skid Row were arrested with felony vandalism for writing on the sidewalk in chalk, occupiers devised an action to fight these unreasonable charges. They planned to give out "free chalk for free speech" along with fliers detailing the recent arrests during the city's monthly art walk event. Within minutes of starting, a member of Occupy LA was arrested for chalking and soon hundreds of onlookers gathered in disbelief as the LAPD deployed a skirmish line in full riot gear to round up the sidewalk vandals. # # # Even at a Comics Event, You can't Defy Gravitas By Michael Cieply New York Times July 14, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/14/business/media/even-at-comic-con-you-cant-defy-gravitas.html Once a year for the last four decades, comic-book and fantasy fans dressed in Batman suits or carrying light sabers have descended on San Diego Convention Center for Comic-Con. But as fantasy has become big business - 7 of last year's 10 top-grossing movies were either science fiction or comic-book-inspired - a new anxiety has settled over the convention about the future of the business and over comics themselves. Topics for panels this year include comics and the plight of indigenous peoples, feminist writers and censorship, progressive politics in comics and, of course, the many financial and copyright issues created by the explosion in Hollywood's interest. # # # The Patriot Movement's New Bestseller Tests Their Anti- Racism J. M. Berger June 8, 2012 The Daily Beast http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/06/08/the-patriot-movement-s-new-bestseller-tests-their-anti-racism.html Racism just doesn't sell like it used to. Years after the racism of the infamous 1978 novel The Turner Diaries, some within the Patriot movement have tried to sideline or redefine its racial politics and focus on other issues such as gun rights, survivalism, individual liberties, traditional morality, and Constitutional hyper purity. So now there is "Enemies Foreign and Domestic", a Patriot- themed self-published novel known to fans as EFAD. It's the first in a trilogy of political thrillers which spotlights several Patriot memes and an almost militant multicultural drumbeat, including heroes from almost every ethnic background - white, black, Arab and Jewish. Between its serviceable writing and self-inoculation against charges of racism, EFAD is probably as close to a mainstream recruitment tool as the Patriot movement could hope for. # # # Spike Lee Talks Obama, the End of Mookie's Brooklyn, and the Hollywood Color Line By Will Leitch Vulture July 8, 2012 http://www.vulture.com/2012/07/spike-lee-on-reality-tv-minstrelsy-and-hollywood.html Returning to Brooklyn - a very different Brooklyn - with his latest film Red Hook Summer, the outspoken filmmaker talks with Will Leitch about the timidity of Hollywood, reality-TV minstrelsy, and what it's like to have inspired the president and the First Lady's very first date.

"met expectations"
This hotel met all my expectations. Its basic and perhaps a bit spartan but you get what you pay for in these type of facilities and I have no complaints. Given the area, availability of properties it fit the bill just fine.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Maid service/ hot water"
Our room did not get any service done to it while we stayed there, when we returned in the evening we had to get new towels and coffee ourselves.There was no hot water the day we were leaving, for our showers.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Small, friendly gem near major highways."
We were more than satisfied. The clerk recommended a restaurant with local color. The breakfast nook was personalized with little touches.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Exceeded expectaitons"
Room was clean and well equipped. Desk personnel were pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Very comfortable and quiet. Only complaint is that the pillows were uncomfortably hard. Will definitely stay here again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Close to Bloomburg U."
My guest were always questioned about the reason for being there?Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"close to Bloomsburg fair"
Very Clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was great. Will gladly recommend Super 8 in Mifflinville to everyone.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"They keep improving the place"
getting better every year.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
If you are like I was, looking for a simple, clean, comfortable place to stay as you drive along I-80 that is very affordable, I recommend the Super 8. Really gave me the basic essentials and did it in an affordable way. Is it the Ritz? Of course not. But it's a great deal!Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Easy off and on Highway 80"
Clean quiet and comfortable easy to locate no elevatorsExpedia 真实住客点评
"It was acceptable but could be better."
Room was comfortable and clean, staff was very friendly. Breakfast was acceptable, similar to the higher star breakfast included hotels. The lower ratings are related to the condition of the bedding; the blanket had holes from cigarette burns and significant wear; the box spring cover was stained and appeared dirty. The coffee maker did not work and […] the bathroom light was missing a cover so the light bulb was exposed. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"A real nice place to stay, great price!"
Everything was perfect. The location was great, and the breakfast was good!Expedia 真实住客点评
"Deb, the day shift manager is fantastic"
very well satisfied with the cost. great breakfast. we stayed in a newly remodeled room that had great amenities, including a flat screen TVHotels.com 真实住客点评
"great hotel for that easy no problem stay"
We stayed here on our trip to and from NY to Ohio. Great location and easy on and off the interstate. Very clean rooms, comfortable and well educated staff. Very helpful and kind. Good breakfast in the morning to get you going. Not a lot for breakfast for well stocked. The toast is wrapped two pieces together so no one has handled your bread before […] you. We like staying here because of the staff and the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Very nice!"
The hotel was very clean and taken care of. Staff was friendly and close to knoebels! Definitely would return to super 8 for future stays!Expedia 真实住客点评
Nice hotel...clean and quiet. Right of Interstate 80.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Good night stay."
We spent two nights at this hotel and found it clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good but not extensive. I didn't expect more considering the low cost for the room. Although next to the Interstate highway, our rooms were quiet. Several fast food restaurants were across the street which was convenient.Expedia 真实住客点评
very comfortableHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Perfect For Local College Orientation Trip"
My husband and I were taking our son to local college for early AM start orientation. We stayed over the night before, and only a 10 minute drive to college in the morning. Very nice breakfast in the lobby. Room was very nice size, beds very comfortable, nice flat screen TV, and beautiful bathroom/dressing area. Very hot outside, and AC worked great! […] Gas and several fast food spots right next door. Easy off/on access to highway, and wonderful price for our overnight trip. Front desk ladies in the AM, and PM, were very nice to deal with. Very clean, and would definitely return again! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Easy to get to, right off the highway. Definitely a good 1 night stop. Clean room, friendly staff.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Basic, yet sub-standard"
No remote for TV. Upper level room, floors creaked something awful. A/C unit very loud. Skimpy pillows, pillowcases looked yellowed/used. No info book in room.No rack for suitcase, had to use floor. Breakfast was OK, very spartan spread. Fridge worked OK. Easily the poorest room presentation of any budget motel I've been in.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
We checked in late and the staff was very friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
excellent valueHotels.com 真实住客点评
The room was nice. An older motel that needs updating but clean and neat. The people were very helpful.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
We stayed here on our way to Pittsburgh and it's a great mid-way point. Friendly staff and not bad for the price. Would stop here again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Nice newly remodeled roomsHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Just what I wanted."
Very clean, affordable and accessible. Not much else to say but it was exactly what I was looking for.Expedia 真实住客点评
"College Visit"
It was fine and served its purpose. Conditioner along with the shampoo would have been nice to have though they were able to supply us with the toothpaste that we had forgotten.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Hidden gem, stop by"
Once the construction on the nearby bridge is complete it will be much more accessible and getting back on the highway will also improve.We will go back!Expedia 真实住客点评
"best budget hotel"
Everything was better than expected.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good motel, convenient to fast food places"
The motel was okay, and it had the typical "Free breakfast" of cereals, waffles, bagels, fruit, etc. There was a "business center" internet terminal for guest use, but it was almost always tied up with employees surfing the net, or kids playing games for long periods of time, when some of us needed to check on flights that had been cancelled, etc. If […] it wasn't such a nuisance bringing another carry-on bag, I'd have brought my own PC. Otherwise, not a bad place. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Friendly and convienent"
Everyone was very nice. We were able to check in early which was a temendous help due to the lateness of our meeting. Breakfast was good, staff friendly, room nice and clean.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"great for overnight"
Great room; marginal breakfast; interstate construction compromised accessibility to the property; free in-room wi-fi.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Near our destination of Bill's Old Bike Barn"
The room was reasonably priced, clean, had all the essentials, the bed was comfortable, liked Internet availability from the room with our laptop. The only negative was the TV was mounted low on the wall making it difficult to see from lying in bed. It should be mounted near the ceiling. We would come back if in the area and recommend it to friends […] . 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great for the rate"
We stay here on our way from NY to Ohio. Nice and clean, easy on and off, friendly staff, and a great value for the dollar. Clean area to eat breakfast, When someone was done the staff was there to clean the table and a nice selection for a free breakfast.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Close to Bloomsburg Fair"
We had a very clean room, the breakfast was wonderful the next day. Would book with you again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Could not have been better.We're looking for reason to return.Everything was absolutly great.Clean and pleasant atmosphere.............Hotels.com 真实住客点评
VERY CLEAN ROOMS AND DAY TIME PERSONNEL WERE HELPFUL AND ATTENTIVE TO YOUR NEEDS. FOOD AND GAS NEXT DOOR AND JUST OFF RT.80.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Nice breakfast"
Right on the road and convenient nice breakfast for a motel.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The hotel was great in all respects.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Central location close to family"
It was good overall, carpet was not great but for being the older part of the motel it was okay for sleeping in. We stayed 10 days and the staff treated us great.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"It was ok"
I stayed five nights during the Little League Worlds series. The pluses were the cost, a large clean bathroom, and of course the breakfast each morning. This hotel is horseshoe shaped with all the parking on the inside. Barely enough parking. I was tucked back into a corner and only once was able to park near my room. They have wifi, but the signal […] was weak and my computer would only download at full speed in the breakfast area (next to the office). On the positive side, the hotel sits next to I 80, but the rooms had good insulation from the traffic noise. The room had a refrigerator. which was not advertised. Best of all...no bed bugs. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Comfortable no-frills lodging"
Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel is very convenient: easy to find and near fast-food restaurants and snack shops. The breakfast is not as good as other hotels, but was adequate for a short stay. I would stay here again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Clean, cheap and good location"
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. We had a room with a King bed and it was very large and had a loveseat, dresser, desk and night stands. Lots of space. Room was very clean & comfortable. Two gas stations with convience items and an Arby's and Subway within walking distance. Right off I-80 so we did hear a little road noise but it wasn't bad […] at all. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good Value"
Very Clean , Very friendly , Great price , Easy accessExpedia 真实住客点评
"Very large rooms!"
Was surprised by the size of rooms - you don't expect such large rooms for this price, or in a Super 8. It was a nice one night stay in a cute little town in the mountains as we were driving through PA on our way to NYC.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"good location, pretty quiet and great breakfast."
We would definitely stay there again. Courteous office and staff.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Hah yeah. They are on totally different levels. BL2 is awesome. BL 1 is awesome. Brothers in Arms is great...and then gearbox buys DNF ... and drops a turd. Says "we're sorry" and then gearbox buys aliens and drops a turd. Ok, from now on I will see that pattern a mile away. P.S. And how the HELL do you make UE3 look WORSE then UE 2.5 0_o
Am I the only one that really bought it for multiplayer? I don't really care about PS oto much...I wanna blast aliens away with friends.
I know they are very different games but this game just reminds me of natural selection 2. It really is just the alien vs marine theme.
If I had any talent I would be all about making an Aliens-mod for NS2, considering the engine is fantastic, and has a lot of the tools already in place.
I will take you on your word for that. I do love ns2. It probably would not be that hard. Some one made a hidden mod for ns2. It isn't as fun as the hl2 version but one day it might be.
I read somewhere that an ex gearbox developer stated that the game was outsourced to TimeGate Studios and Gearbox only did the multiplayer part (which coincidentally, was the only thing positive based from the reviews). Sega however intervened the statement, and told that it was all Gearbox. Doesn't matter. Will wait for it to go $3 3 months later.
im glad i saw some early game footage and then it looked like a consol port. I did get the game and DLC for $50 which is a lot better then the $120 steam wanted in australia. for me the most lacking part is the High pings in co-op, my brother and i were getting 4/500 pings where most things are getting 4/50. personaly im glad i didn't follow the hype so i didnt have that far to be let down after playing it
trust me, btw any one is capable of changing there headgear for female marines?? becus i can only for males..
Holy S#!t that was funny! No I will get it for the single player co-op. The survival maps will be nice but I like co-op with plot.
I think one well know line will sum up this game... "Game over man!" The PC version is averaging 37/100 on GameRankings, 42/100 on Metacritic, with Meta user scores being only slightly higher at 43/100. Even GameTrailers, who's given a lot of overly glowing reviews lately, rated it only 5.9/10. Over indeed, it was over before it started.
I just uninstalled it. Wish there was a way I could unlock the game from my account. I'd happily give it away.
Really, WDF were they thinking?? Check this Demo footage vs. final product What the hell happened to Aliens: Colonial Marines... Im a huge Alien fan, but I sure wont be buying this mess, even AVP2010 looks & plays better.
Let me guess, short campaign that's mostly an action corridor shooter vs horror game, twitchy AI, poor use of the movie actors for voicing, cheesy action game dialogue, aliens always running at you vs sneaking up on you, ridiculous boss fights, and a story and setting that nowhere near represents the feel of the movies? Word is the game files on the PC version are pretty much like those of Dishonored, so at least it can probably be edited to look a bit better. Try setting bloom to False (looks overly glowing) and bumping Detail Mode from 2 to 5. I hear it also has an in game FOV adjuster, which is kinda surprising really.
That's an astonishing change I played past the first campaign and then got bored. It's just so dull. And yes, it is just going to A & B while shooting aliens or mercenaries.
I played this last night and I agree that the visuals are behind the times but they aren't that bad. I have seen a lot worse. Knowing what everyone were saying about this game I went in expecting terrible graphics. It's nothing special or even good but it's decent. Gameplay so far is fair but nothing exciting. The game doesn't grab me though at all so I doubt I'll play through it. For someone that just has to play another game based on the Alien universe then by all means play it. But wait for a big sale.
Wow... just wow. Gearbox need to apologise. Seriously if I messed up a project this bad in work I'd lose my job. The differences between the Demo and the Final product are simply stunning. Its like they gave up on it in early development and palmed it off (outsourced) with only one instruction, get it out the door in any state by the deadline. What a shameful mess. Anyone who bought on the strength of how the demo looked has been defrauded. I hope that since the reviews aired that sales for this rubbish have fallen off to nothing. Maybe then then the publisher would get the message.
No matter what they show in that comparison video, it still would have been a crap game even if it looked like the demo did. Nothing can fix horrible gameplay. They're going to have to drop the price of this game to $20-$30 soon, as it's really just a value game disguised as a AAA title by false advertising, and even if they do, it will probably be hard just to break even. They'll most likely lose money on it.

At first I wasn't interested with the RBN but as i saw someof these great songs come up I became more interested in it. Now I'm wonder ing if PS3 will ever get RBN. If so, what songs will we be able to download?
At first I wasn't interested with the RBN but as i saw someof these great songs come up I became more interested in it. Now I'm wonder ing if PS3 will ever get RBN. If so, what songs will we be able to download?
I have come to the conclusion that Dave Grohl, is in fact, an alien!
We dont know yet, but dont count on it. After April 4th we will start to see a few songs trickle in for us probably based on popularity on the Xbox.
Great...other people and their (possibly lousy) DLC purchases get to determine the music that I get to choose from.
I only hope there aren't a ton of people buying "Dirty Little Secret"-esque music.
"Enjoy every sandwich"
I have my doubts as to whether or not the PS3 is ever gonna get the full RBN experience, but in a couple of weeks Harmonix is supposed to start releasing some of their "Stand Out Tracks" on the PS3 and Wii stores so expect to see a few RBN songs coming soon.
You know, you don't have to buy it if you don't want to.
>Insert witty quote here<
Even so what songs you guys will get will be 30 days after they're released. Probably give 30 days to see how they sell and whether to push them over to the PS3 or not.
I refused to wait so I just got it for the 360 and will now probably stick to buying all my DLC thru the xbox, and just switching from video 1 to video 2 when I have people over wanting to play songs from either console lol.
Well I hope these "stand-out" tracks are ones that aren't just decided by popularity. I mean, what if a great song doesn't get that many purchases? Does that mean it'll never show on the PSN/Wii?
But I doubt they'd let the likes of "Bodies", "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", "Higher" or "Fly To The Angels" slip by.
I know I don't have to buy it, my concern is NOT what I feel I'm "forced" to buy; my concern lies in the fact that if the PS3 RBN pool is based on the "greatest hits" of the Xbox...then it could very well be that the vast majority of the RBN pool is limited to a category such as the aforementioned music example.
"Enjoy every sandwich"
go look at the "top rbn downloads" thread, maybe that'll change your mind
if the top 30 got in, i'd be getting 12 songs myself, so i'm def. not complaining.
there are a LOT of other songs i'm praying get on ps3 (We Are Not Anonymous) but if they give us the top 30, i'll be completely satisfied.

Category: Prince William daughter name
Names for William & Kate's First Baby: Ten Princess Picks
Okay, this might be a little premature, since the royal couple isn't even married yet, let alone pregnant. But at Nameberry, it's never too early to start offering our ideas.
There are certain limits, however, for even though Princess Anne named her daughter Zara, and Queen Elizabeth's first great-grandchild was recently christened the Americanized Savannah, it's pretty doubtful that Prince William and Princess-to-be Kate Middleton will go that far afield for the name of their first son or daughter. More than likely, they'll reach back into royal history—but because British rulers typically use three or four middle names, they could slip in something less conventional for third or fourth choice. Not surprisingly, there's more wiggle room for girls than boys.
Putting aside the most obvious options—such as Queen Mum and Grandmum name Elizabeth (also the middle name of Catherine Middleton herself) and Victoria and Mary and Anne, the royal couple would be staying within the prescribed lines if they considered any of the following names from British royal history:
Adelaide. The capital city of South Australia was named for the beloved 19th century British "Good QueenAdelaide," the wife of William IV, and could be an appropriate choice for a 21st century "Good Princess Adelaide."
Alexandrina. This unusual member of the 'Alex" family of names was actually the real first name of QueenVictoria, and would make an interesting and unusual pick, even though five syllables is a bit much, especially when followed by several other appellations

Heavy, wet snow and snowplows take toll on mailboxes

Sometimes, the price for a plowed road is a damaged mailbox, like this one along Fishinger Road. Many municipalities take responsibility to repair a damaged box or replace it.
Sodden, heavy snow can crush shrubs, cause shovelers to wrench backs and bring down gutters.
It also can annihilate a mailbox when slung at 40 mph from the blade of a passing plow.
Dozens of boxes and posts fall victim each year to unforgiving snowplows dishing winter's heft. For example, some were found decapitated today along the 3100 block of Fishinger Road.
Fortunately, many municipalities will compensate owners for the carnage.
Upper Arlington repairs or replaces about six or seven each year, said Buddy Caplinger, the city's public-services manager.
He reminds his staff to obey speed limits and to slow when passing areas such as Lane Road, where street-side boxes are more prevalent.
"It's the weight and force of the snow — heavy rolling snow," Caplinger said. "It'll snap the post or knock the box off the pole."
Caplinger knows. The box outside his Dublin home was in pieces this morning.
Cedar models might cost the city $125 plus labor, he said. Others can run several hundred dollars.
"We'll replace it of like kind or we'll make repairs," Caplinger said.
So will Columbus, if a plow hits the mailbox, said Rick Tilton, the city's assistant public-service director.
Dublin has replaced about 75 this year, not counting today, and will quickly install a temporary replacement "until the permanent one is installed, so they can still get their mail," said Sue Burness, city spokeswoman.
The storm brought the biggest snowfall in two years to central Ohio, with Dublin getting 8.2 inches, Hilliard 7 inches and Port Columbus (officially) 6.9 inches. The heavy snow mostly fell between 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and 5 a.m. today before heading east, said Chris Bradley, chief meteorologist for WBNS-TV (Channel 10).
Columbus schools and most other districts closed today, and police and fire agencies were overwhelmed with crash calls.
Columbus police advised motorists to exchange information unless an injury was involved, though no fatal crashes were reported in Columbus or Franklin County today.
When the snow is heavy, emergency rooms typically see people reporting heart attacks after shoveling. But Grant Medical Center didn't see anything unusual with shovel-related injuries, said Brody Eick, an emergency-room nurse and supervisor. But it did see more people than usual who had fallen after slipping in the snow.
The depth of the snow was only half the story, said Andrew Snyder, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
Light flakes, borne aloft in frigid temperatures, might contain half the water content as the fat, soggy clumps that pelted rooftops today and on Tuesday. That also means it piles higher.
Today's totals could have been as deep as 2 feet had the air been colder.
As for damaged mailboxes, some in Columbus might not be found until today because crews didn't plan to begin plowing residential streets until late today.
Not all municipalities respond equally to mailbox damage.
Pleasant Township will replace them, but you might not be bragging about the results, said Fire Chief Jay Noojin.
"They'll put you a post up and a cheap metal mailbox," Noojin said. "We're a small township. We can't afford it."
Former Franklin County Recorder Daphne Hawk called the insult to her pink and green mailbox today "a minor inconvenience. I'd rather have a plowed road."
A quick bungee-cord fix got it upright, but Grove City ultimately will be responsible for permanent repairs.
Dispatch Reporter Jim Woods contributed to this story.

Comments about DDF Advanced Firming Cream, 1.7 oz:
I am a 36-year-old woman with some sun damage (I was born in the Caribbean and emigrated as a tween) and a face that perspires in the summer, so even waterproof SPFs eventually slide/rub off. I am *just* starting to notice pronounced smile lines and jowls (my mom has them, therefore I'll have them) and this has noticeably improved the appearance of my laugh lines and my skin definitely feels firmer, my proto-jowls not as pronounced. I use this day and night and my skin feels plumper and just has more OOMPH hours after I've applied it. I would give this product 5 stars except for the price and the SMELL. It doesn't stink, but it certainly doesn't have a mild perfume. The odor, however, eventually fades away once the non-greasy cream is done absorbing, so it's not that big a deal. Recently, I got one acne scar after I started using the cream (not caused by it ... more a side effect from a very vigorous workout session). My very few acne scars (I have normal skin that rarely breaks out ... but I'm a pick-pick-picker) usually fade within six months, but this has speeded up the fading. Lastly, I am not a brand snob. I will literally try any price on makeup or skin creams/hair products as long as they work. This definitely WORKS. I used to use Olay Regenerist and Avon Anew products and this has improved upon those products in a fraction of the time. I wish this weren't so expensive, but I can justify spending the money rather than spending it on 6 jars of cheaper stuff and spend all day slathering on more as soon as it absorbs. I also tried Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Complex in a sample and I like that as well, and it is slightly cheaper, but I can't remember what that smells like. Hope this helps.
