Review: Fable: The Journey
A journey not worth taking
The Kinect has been a very hit or miss device. Sometimes we find it breaking ground with games designed for it like Dance Central or The Gunstringer. Other times we find Microsoft trying to force it into games like Fable: The Journey. It has been known from the beginning that Lion Head Studios the creators of the game did not have this game design in mind before Microsoft came in with their big bags of cash asking for a Kinect enabled Fable game to be made. When Peter Molyneux came on stage at E3 2012 showing this game off, everyone could see strait through his train of lies. He promised a game that wasn't on rails and was just as much a Fable game as the rest of the series. Well guess what? It is on rails and other than the name Fable in the title this is not a Fable game.
Fable was always a game about freedom, the choice for you to be good or evil and explore the world at your own pace. This is a constricting game were there are no choices and the gameplay function. The only redeeming things in this game are the cool story and the atmosphere. The game tells the story of Gabriel, a simple horseman who has to overcome his insecurities to be the hero he was destined to be. Along the way you meet Theresa who Fable veterans will recognize as the entity that keeps all the games connected. The real beauty of the story comes from Gabriel's connection with his horse Seren. While previous games had your companion be a dog, Gabriel has a horse and his partner and his love for it shows throughout the game making the journey (no pun intended) more emotionally charged. But that is by no means an excuse for the boring and broken gameplay that you will endure during it.
The Journey splits the gameplay into two different sections both of which you play sitting down. The first being, and I kid you not, guiding a horse pulling a carriage. This is just as thrilling as it sounds; you spend about 30% of the game looking at a horse's hindquarters. Things do heat up occasionally when you are being chased by (for spoilers sake let's just say a darkness), but these chases are few and far between. You guide your horse along using your two hands as rains attached to the horse occasionally whipping your hands to increase your speed and pulling them close to you to slow down. It is sad that the one part of the game that actually functions fairly well is the most boring. You wander through different locals collecting experience orbs while your companions on the carriage with you usually accompany you with dialogue. The developers knew it was so boring that you often get a text prompt telling you to just put your arms down and listen to the dialogue while the horse guides itself. Yes you heard me right, this game encourages you to stop playing it.
The other half of the game has you spell casting. You use one hand to shoot lightning bolts to damage foes and the other hand to traverse enemies and the environment by pushing, pulling and throwing them across the screen. When this works it truly is magical! The only problem is that it is not often. The game just cannot track your movements with any kind of precision. You will often find your lighting bolts shooting off the screen and you having to latch on to an enemy several times before being able to throw them. There is the inclusion of the aftertouch mechanic, which allows you to change the direction of your bolt mid flight, but it is just as unreliable as everything else. I replaced my chair with one that had no arms and covered up my windows to avoid sunlight interfering with the Kinect, which helped a bit, but tracking was still all over the place.
You receive upgrades along your adventure like being able to replace your bolt with a fiery spear, but the gameplay mechanics are still essentially the same. The game also offers an arcade mode in which you replay story missions in order to get a high score and earn a bronze, silver, and gold medal respectively. This would be cool and a great way to give you some replayability after the eight-hour story if the game wasn't so broken. Leaderboards are meant to show who has more skill out of your friends but when the gameplay is just plain luck it is a laughable mode at best.
With the inclusion of upgrades and collectibles it seems like the developers tried to make an experience that wants you to stay in it's world which is the biggest thing that bugs me about all of this. I want to love this game there is so much charm in the characters and the world, but I can't forgive a game that is virtually unplayable! You can lug through it if you want its not unbeatable just infuriatingly boring considering all skill is off the table. I hope this misstep in the Fable franchise is just simply a misstep and Microsoft will realize that people just want Fable 4 not wave your arms like a mad man Fable. If you are a hardcore Fable fan and need to know every story in the franchise this is a great one. Just be warned The Journey will take you on a bumpy road.
+ Story and atmosphere are great
- Controls are unresponsive
- Repetitive gameplay
- Linear level design
- Too easy

For most designers, coming up with ideas is easy. The hard part is transforming those ideas from creative kernels into believable prototypes, and doing it quickly. Even with computers, the process has always been pretty drawn out, requiring multiple steps on the computer, switching software programs and even building physical models to get a result that oftentimes doesn't look quite how you originally envisioned it. "I was doing a lot of print and packaging work and it was always difficult to communicate the physicality of a package, signage or even just a business card," says Joshua Distler. "There was a lot of printing and plotting and cut and pasting happening."

So, by the looks of it, we may have another line of episodes all airing in production order?
What a glorious day for Canada and therefore, of course, the world.
No, not really. This season, HABF02 aired before HABF01. The closest we've had to a full season of episodes airing in production order starting with the first episode was season 6, 14 episodes with 2F01 to 2F14 running uninterrupted.
As for just episodes in consecutive order, there's 11 in Season 14, from EABF07 to EABF17, and 11 in season 4 from 9F05 to 9F15. Last year we had eight from GABF01 to GABF08, interrupted by GABF12.
So this season we've had episodes HABF03-HABF05 airing consecutively. And if HABF06, 7, 8 and 9 do too, then that's six. But there's still some way to go before FOX airs Simpsons episodes in the order they were produced. By the way, who decides the airing order? Do the show's makers get a say at all?
I think the producers get a say in it, but Fox decides. If I am wrong, someone please correct me!
she didnt exactly read shrek the 3rd, which apparently exists as some sort of companion book for a pixar movie. no, this would probably take several minutes (perhaps 10), and would have ultimately depricated the shrek 3 cinematic experience
she merely looked at the book
she saw it, perhaps in the childrens section of a barnes & noble, registered it in her mind as being in existance, and filed it away for later as the subject for a post on BOOKS YOUVE READ. only she just looked at it. and it was shrek 3
in a way its the saddest post ive ever read
-toxic shock syndrome
I think Bill and Josh said in a Q&A that the order is decided by the showrunner/s.
EDIT: Yes, they said that: http://www.nohomers.net/showpost.php...0&postcount=15

Yeah, I meant consecutive order more than production order when I look at it. The beginning of the HABF line didn't air in order but I mean from HABF03 on.
Wait, when does "Homer Simpsons this is your wife" air? I'm excited about that ep. I have a feeling there will be many laughs!
These new episode descriptions please me - the Gervais episode sounds better day by day (who will voice Charlie's son??) and TSNES seems like it will be an interesting and experimental show, to say the least.
I'm actually glad of the changing of method that the current Simpsons crew have embarked on - different styles of episode such as "Simpsons Christmas Stories" where the format used for THOH is applied to another holiday and the use of a guest writer in Gervais can only add to the diversity to the show.
If these episodes fail though people will complain that trying new things is lazy and that the current episodes are repetitive; if they succeed people will applaud these new dynamics and will undoubtedly compare them to episodes from Oakley and Weinstein's run.
I never expect any episode to be better than others and I never like to compare episodes any more - I take each as they come and judge them for their individual merits. Season 17 (so far) has been pretty solid with only a few minor hiccups along the way in my opinion.
I've got a bad feeling it'll be Tress McNeil once again doing her same old kid voice, possibly a bad English accent to go with it.Originally Posted by alt.nerd.obsessive
Gibbles, turn that frown upside down! I don't think it will be Tress. (I don't know why, I just have a feeling it isn't going to be her this time).
She'll be his wife instead.
It's kind of strange that they hire an additional male cast member in Karl Wiedegott or however you spell it but never got another female cast member to replace maggie roswell. I know the reasons why but it's still odd.
Who does Karl Wiedegott do the voice of anyway?
I think he does almost exclusively bit characters...offhand I remember reading that he did Jimmy Carter in Behind the Laughter. But I don't think he has any "characters" really, in terms of recognizable recurring ones. If you look him up on IMDB you can get a feel for the kinds of characters he does.
I think Tress gets too much hate. It's true that it gets repetitive hearing the same voices over and over, but I think that comes down more to the producers not bothering to get anyone else than anything. A new Roswell-type who can do lots of bit female voices would probably be a good addition to the show at this point.
Two eyes, two ears, a chin, a mouth, ten fingers, two nipples, a butt, two kneecaps, a penis. I've just described to you the Loch Ness Monster. And the reward for its capture? All the riches in Scotland. So I have one question: why are you here?
Fox Press Release
Grampa ruins Homer's plans to make Springfield the new home of a pro football franchise when he mistakes the Commissioner of Football for a burglar and the football stadium is transformed into a bull fighting arena. Tortured by threatening calls from his family and friends, Grampa seeks Manfred Manslaughter's help in committing suicide. When his plan fails at the last minute, Grampa gets a new outlook on life and decides to become Springfield's very own matador in THE SIMPSONS episode "Million Dollar Abie" airing Sunday, April 2 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). (SI-1709) (TV-TBA)
Voice Cast: Dan Castellaneta as Homer Simpson, Mayor Quimby and Groundskeeper Willie, Julie Kavner as Marge Simpson and Patty; Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson and Nelson Muntz; Nelson, Ralph and Kearney; Yeardley Smith as Lisa Simpson; Harry Shearer as Kent Brockman, Mr. Burns and Smithers; Pamela Hayden as Milhouse; Hank Azaria as Cletus and Carl.
The question now is: being a Tim Long episode, who DIDN'T expect something like this?
Million Dollar Abie - what could have been a really good, plot-focused episode about Grampa considering suicide - seems to have been wrecked by turning him into a matador. I'm not sure about this episode anymore. The only other episode of The Simpsons to have bull-fighting was Pokey Mom and that's one of my worst episodes. Oh, well...
this looks rather bad, really. it's probably not going to be as awful as some of Long's other scripts, but I'm not expecting great things.
Season 25 Ratings
Awful, probably
So Grampa becomes a bullfighter. That's ... interesting. I don't really know what to think about this one. I don't especially dislike Tim Long's episodes but they're certainly not my favourites. Having said that, with a Grampa-centric plot I think it's got potential to be good.
Oh, God...
Si eres capaz de entender esto, es que sabes un poco de español (o que estás utilizando Babelfish, cosa que no te recomiendo)
That sounds absolutely fucking dreadful. I have nothing good to say about that whatsoever. It sounds like a total shithole of an episode.
The part about becoming a bull-fighter is questionable. If they picked a better job for Grandpa, the episode would sound more exciting.
I wonder if the Commish will look like Paul Tagluibule (sp?) or like Texan/Duff Owner ?
Bleurgh! That sounds horrible. I don't even want to dignify it by saying anything else.
Maybe just me, but I reckon the episode sounds quite entertaining!
Who is 'Manfred Manslaughter'? Is he a character made up by the show (I'm presuming so)?
I highly doubt that an episode about a character wanting to commit suicide could be good. But him becoming a matador is hardly betterOriginally Posted by Simpsons Forever!

Believe it or not, the practice of filibustering has its roots in real estate and land management policy. During the reign of Julius Caesar as consul in the Roman Republic, the Roman Senate had a rule that all legislative business must be accomplished before sunset. This had the laudable effect of prohibiting legislators from passing measures "in the dead of night." But it also created a window for those in a minority coalition to . . .

366 Rue Ste-Catherine, Montréal H2X 1L7 514-524-1960
Distance: ~0.660 km *
Whether you want to get-down-get-funky, shoot pool, have your hair cut, chill with a few friends and a cold beer, or grab a meal, Le Drugstore is the place to go. You can accomplish everything on your to-do list with one stop! But seriously, this is a hugely popular destination the crowd is extremely diverse.
Le Newton

Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill
(Nightlife - Lounge)
1254 Rue Mackay, Montréal H3G 2H5 514-931-6808
Distance: ~0.858 km *
A reputation for terrific Continental (especially Spanish) cuisine and a desire to book talented musicians has earned Upstairs a loyal following and a growing clientele. The restaurant serves flavorful dishes that mix the smokiness of grilled meats and seafood with liqueur-tinged sauces, fresh vegetables and the sweetness of lush fruits. The relaxed atmosphere is also conducive to great jazz artists, both local and international. At times, you'll also find R&B performers and other styles of music. While you listen to the rhythmic, seductive tones, make sure to enjoy a glass from their wine cellar, or sample a single-malt scotch. Fantastic food and entertainment in one place what could be better?
Suite 701
(Nightlife - Lounge)
701 Cote de la Place-d'Armes, Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites, Montréal H2Y 2P9 514-904-1201

At night, the place becomes a social and drinking environment where patrons often move from table to table, laughing, chatting and talking into the night. It's also not unheard-of to spot a celebrity or two.

A GoGo Lounge
(Nightlife - Lounge)
3682 Blvd St-Laurent, Montreal H2X 1A1 514-286-0882
Distance: ~1.617 km *
Retro-chic A GoGo is a definite favorite. The music runs from 70s disco to 80s New Wave and beyond, the décor is a mix of mod and kitsch, and the drink menu is dotted with monikers like Sweet Tart, Mr. Freeze, Pink Panther and A Clockwork Orange. It all adds up to a groovy good time, Baby!
Tokyo Bar
(Nightlife - Lounge)
3709 Blvd St. Laurent, Montreal H2X 1A1 514-842-6838
Distance: ~1.672 km *
Cozy and popular, Tokyo has two separate spaces, so whether you feel like chilling out with friends or dancing up a storm, you can do it here. DJs and occasional live bands liven up one space, but the lounge and two rooftop terraces provide ample room to escape to a less manic scene if the mood strikes you. Eclectic, creative martinis are the drink of choice.
Bily Kun

354 Ave du Mont-Royal Est, Montreal H2J 2L1 514-845-5392
Distance: ~2.813 km *
Reveling in its kitschy-stylish décor, Bily Kun is about as unpretentious a spot as you'll find anywhere. The vibe has been called "electric" but it's not a high-energy club by any means people come here to relax. Absinthe and beer are the quaffs of choice, and live jazz is on the schedule a few nights a week. Word of warning: the rather infamous ostrich heads may take some getting used to!
Le Lab
(Nightlife - Lounge)
1351, rue Rachel E, Montreal H2J 2K2 514-544-1333
Distance: ~3.106 km *
THE PLATEAU. Finicky about how your favorite gin drink is made? Want to try new and unique concoctions? Le Lab is a cocktail connoisseur's lounge specializing in traditional and creative mixed drinks. Theres a laid-back neighborhood vibe with a speakeasy ambiance.
Whisky Café
(Nightlife - Lounge)
5800 Blvd St-Laurent, Montréal H2T 1T4 514-278-2646
Distance: ~4.001 km *
Aficionados and novices alike find plenty to love at this stylish lounge. The selection of whiskey is truly astounding if the plethora of choices makes your head spin, opt for a sampler. Or try a tasting of grappas instead. Alternatively, you could luxuriate in a pairing of champagne and foie gras, ice wine and chocolate, or porto and cheese. There's a separate cigar lounge, as well. This is the place to celebrate the good life.

vacation rental description
Sweeping ocean views from several rooms as well as a huge beachfront deck make our King of the Dune house an irresistible vacation destination.
Located oceanfront in beautiful Vilano Beach, King of the Dune gives you the best of both worlds. The area feels quite remote, with plenty of space between the properties and your own walkway right down to the wide, warm sands. Yet a brand-new supermarket has just opened 2 blocks away, so our house is also convenient to everything you need. Whether you want to splash in the waves and forget about civilization or combine beach time with dining out and sightseeing, King of the Dune is a great place to stay!
The house begins on the second floor, with cathedral ceilings, enormous banks of windows, beautiful furnishings, and a sense of calm that makes King of the Dune feel like home within the first 5 minutes. Step into our living room and settle right in! The big flat-screen TV and ultra-plush sofa, loveseat and chair invite you to kick back and begin enjoying your free time, while the ornamental fireplace adds a homey note.
A sliding-glass door leads out to our huge open-air deck from the living room, while a higher row of windows lets you glimpse the brilliant blue Florida sky. Slip out onto the deck for sunbathing. The safety rail around our deck makes it perfect even for small children, without interfering with the breathtaking view of dunes, sand, sea, and sky. And there's enough room here for active toddlers and their toys, big group meals, and late-night stargazing. The deck is certain to become your favorite place at King of the Dune!
If you decide to dine in one evening, you won't be disappointed. Our dining room is spacious and pretty, with hardwood floors, a table for 6 (plus an adjacent breakfast bar for 4 more!), and great views of the ocean and beach. This area is ideal for playing board games or working on your computer too (you have free Wifi here!) -- the view is just too magnificent not to enjoy!
Right next to the dining area is our kitchen, newly renovated and simply a pleasure to use. Cool tiled flooring, a side-by-side fridge, brand-new stove and dishwasher, double sink, and custom cabinetry make cooking a breeze. We've stocked it with all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you need, too.
The second floor also boasts 2 bedrooms and a full bath with a shower and tub. Both bedrooms contain 2 twin beds; one also has lovely ocean views. There's plenty of room for everyone at King of the Dune!
On the third floor you'll find an office containing a queen sleeper sofa and a loveseat just in case you want an additional bedroom. This charming room is drenched with sunlight through big arched windows.
And the highlight of the top floor is the master suite! The king-sized bed is very comfortable, while a loveseat and chairs offer nice nooks for reading. The TV with VCR tempts you to watch the late-late show, while the beach views greet you each morning. There's even a rollaway bed here! The master bath delights with a walk-in shower and soaking tub, his-and-her vanities, and sparkling fittings. You'll find all the linens you need for all beds and baths waiting for you here, too.
This house is 3 stories high, with a first floor basement with washer and dryer. This level leads right out to our big grassy yard.
Come spend the vacation of a lifetime at King of the Dunes.

June 1, 2001
In 1999, Massachusetts native Toby Kasper volunteered in the New York office of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) with the Access to Essential Medicines Campaign while he was working as an HIV treatment educator at Gay Men's Health Crisis. He took up his current post as Access Campaign Coordinator in Cape Town, South Africa, in March 2000. Kasper writes from Khayelitsha, a large township outside of Cape Town, where MSF supports a government program to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV and has just launched a pilot antiretroviral treatment program. As a young American growing up in the 1980's, I considered the repressive South African apartheid regime to be one of the world's great evils. Like many others, I greeted the news of Nelson Mandela's release, and later the advent of a multiracial democracy, with joy. However, it took coming to South Africa as an MSF volunteer for me to understand that the horror of apartheid had not disappeared. A new scourge, AIDS, had appeared in its place. The first time I went to a township funeral, I was amazed by how normal it seemed to everyone there that the language developed to challenge apartheid was being reused to bury a comrade felled by HIV. The thrill of victory over racial repression has worn off, replaced by the recognition that another struggle is necessary, this one against the devastation being wrought by AIDS. This time, the goal is to create a society in which people living with HIV/AIDS receive the same medical care as do those living in Brazil, Europe, and North America. MSF's project in South Africa is bringing hope to a dire situation. Our project is small. We work in just one of Cape Town's townships, Khayelitsha (pop. 500,000), where we support a government-run mother-to-child transmission prevention program and have set up clinics that provide care to people with HIV/AIDS. We have recently introduced antiretroviral therapy that, in wealthy nations, has turned AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic disease. The vision of this project is clear: in addition to improving and extending the lives of our patients, we seek to demonstrate that it is possible to provide treatment in a resource-poor setting, and in the process, develop a model that is replicable in similar settings around the world. Our goal is to break down the "medical apartheid" now dividing South Africa.
Our approach has stimulated much debate. The idea that it is possible and necessary to provide treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in a setting such as Khayelitsha is still heretical to some. Pharmaceutical companies try to defend high prices by insisting that even if drugs were free, they could not be used for lack of infrastructure. Some "AIDS experts" say prevention programs are more "cost effective" than funding treatment. And government officials, fearful they will not be able to reach everyone in need overnight, refuse to begin even pilot projects. We have developed a comprehensive program to address all aspects of the use of antiretroviral therapy. Most importantly, we work to ensure that we have the support of all local stakeholders: provincial health authorities, medical staff at our clinics, the NGOs with whom we work, and most importantly, our patients, most of whom knew little about antiretrovirals before the project began. Community participation has been a vital component of one of the most difficult aspects of our project, the selection of which patients to place on therapy. We require that each patient considered for therapy meets strict medical criteria. A pool of 1500 people with HIV have already visited our facilities, and competition for the limited number of treatment slots is fierce. Unfortunately, we will only be able to enroll 180 people this year. Every two weeks, members of the community counselors, nurses, and doctors, as well as people living with HIV, meet to select candidates to be placed on therapy. All candidates are presented anonymously. Not a pleasant task, but one necessitated by limited resources. Faced with this daunting undertaking, the community members have impressively helped the project get off the ground successfully. Antiretroviral therapy alone will not turn around the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Khayelitsha. Community involvement will. In a culture in which HIV infection is still stigmatized, demonstrating that HIV can be a chronic condition, not a rapid death sentence, can lead to a change in attitude, perception, and behavior, as antiretroviral therapy has already done in countries with widespread access to medicine. In a country where there has been little incentive to get tested for HIV, we believe the availability of treatment will encourage people to learn their status. As an HIV-positive Khayelitsha woman said when we launched the program, "I believe that the availability of treatment will help people come out and seek help at the clinics. I think that it will encourage people to go for HIV testing simply because now there is help available." If her hope of treatment becomes reality, this will be our contribution to reducing the horror that HIV/AIDS has visited upon this society. |

Let's see if I can satisfy your curiosity.
While perusing the newspaper and surfing the local channels, one can't help but think about Portland's Rose Festival (May 29-June 8, 2008). That's because the announcement of the Rose Festival Princesses started Monday--they're students at area high schools. Fourteen princesses later, the big reveal ends on March 21. Then we'll find out who the queen is on June 7, the next to last day of Fleet Week, another big part of the Rose Festival.
Here's a bit about Fleet Week from the Rose Festival's Web site: "Ships from the United States Navy, Coast Guard, and the Canadian Maritime Forces arrive from around the world for a four-day visit to the City of Roses. Fleet visitation has been an annual tradition for nearly 70 years."
The Portland Fire Boats salute the ships as they dock on the west bank of the Willamette River. Although I worked all day when the fleet came in last June, I still managed to get a few photos of the fire boat spray from my building.
Have I satisfied your curiosity yet? I haven't made a dent in mine. I hope to take the day off work, or at least half a day, so that I can head for the river. I want to see the fire boats and the ships, up close and personal. Then I'll share them with you.
Now for some detail about this particular photo. You recognize that I shot it from several stories up--that's an air conditioning unit on the roof of a building in the forefront. And a power pole left of center--is that a transformer? The cars that you can see, going downhill slightly to the right, are on the top deck of the Marquam Bridge which is Interstate 5 North. Just above the vehicles, at the left edge of the photo you see some yello, red and blue--that's part of the WaMu Waterfront Village. According to the Rose Festival's Web site: "As the region's premier children's celebration, the WaMu Waterfront Village is fun for all and all for fun. Presented in Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the Village has a whole new family-friendly focus, which welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Featured activities include our Pirates Rendezvous, two tall sailing ships, fun-loving strolling minstrels, and more than 500 hours of eclectic family entertainment. Add the Pacific Northwest's finest, cleanest and most family-friendly carnival, three food courts offering menu items from around the world, and exciting educational exhibits for a classic American celebration WaMu style."
See the two white pyramids on the left edge of the photo, above the colorful WaMu stuff? They're on top of part of the covered bridges that are part of the World Trade Center. Finally, those taller trees are on the west bank of the river, while the shorter ones are on the east bank. I think my building itself is five blocks east of the river. Oh, and the dark, bluish green you see in the distance between the tall buildings--those are trees on Portland's West Hills.

Great picture and quite informative post. Now, we have all details... The point is that, as I've never been to Portland, I've surely seen the scene of the Fire Boats saluting the Fleet somewhere else... ;)

During the Middle Ages the majority of European peasantry lived on a very home-grown diet, or what today might be called a "whole foods" diet. For most people of the lower classes, meals consisted of rye or barely bead, some type of stew, dairy products such as cheese and milk, and meat such as beef or pork. Most meals were vegetarian, and consisted of fresh vegetables. If peasants lived near a stream or lake, they fished. Peasants also harvested berries and nuts in the forests.

Whale Watching
Ever been up close and personal with a 50-foot, 40-ton whale? Once you have, it's an experience you won't soon forget.
That experience can be yours in Massachusetts, one of the top-ten whale-watching spots in the world, according to the World Wildlife Fund. On a real New England whale-watching expedition, alongside onboard naturalists, you'll head out roughly 25 miles off the coast to Stellwagen Bank and be treated to awe-inspiring sights of humpback, pilot and blue whales breaching and spouting through the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
Note: Whale-watching charters typically run from April to October, so if you are interested in taking one, you may want to plan your visit to the Bay State during the warmer months of the year.

(Photo by Ron Henderson (Dallas, TX). Photographed in Terrel, TX, July 2011.)
Eating Peach Ice Cream in the Summer
Ron Henderson
The photographer and his mother took a road trip to the Ham Orchards, known for its fresh peaches, fried pies and towering cones of peach ice cream. This photo, taken with a Canon 5D Mark III, shows Henderson's son trying to catch melting droplets of ice cream as they drip down his fingers in the hot Texas sun.

This is tradition at it's best....Anual sale, and a lot of excitement. I live here, and see cowboys everyday. The sale takes you where horses and cowboys still connect with fun and adventure. They both love the taming!!!

Do you realize this photo depicts animal cruelty? Although the photo is artistically beautiful, the content is highly offensive.

You do such awesome work George! Love it:)

Monte Roberts methodology has not become the "best" way to gentle a horse. 'Tis sad to see this.
Posted by Poosahkie on March 24,2013 | 07:37 PM
The word is illusion, not allusion. Illusion is to make something seen a certain way; allusion is to make a comment that makes reference to something. While the photo is interesting, I can't make the connection with Americana.

This is a wonderful action packed photograph;not only with the two trying to break the horse but those in the background doing the same thing. Very exciting and they don't have much time to do it. Great
Posted by Edna Carter on March 11,2013 | 03:03 PM
This to me is the best of the bunch. The movement, the action, the struggle to be in control, and time all caught up fleetingly and stopped eternally.

Brings back cildhood memories, --- bead board wood, wallpaper. Makes me wonder why it was left with dishes on the table. Stirs the imagination. Someone's REAL home.

The decisive moment for this photographer. Perfect coming to life of iconic painted images from our history. So expressive.
Posted by Laura Fisher on March 10,2013 | 01:56 PM
I pass by this location so often as I frequent the theater district in NYC, and have photo'd this electric flag often in an attempt to create a dramatic image. THIS is it! (wish I had seen it) Bravo to the photographer's vision and patience.
Posted by Laura Fisher on March 10,2013 | 01:54 PM
Great action shot. Nice balance of the composition. Like how the dust frames the characters. I vote for this one.
Posted by Jane F on March 10,2013 | 11:31 AM
Love it Real Americana captured in this photograph A work of art.
Posted by Susan Meister on March 8,2013 | 07:56 PM
These are Cowboys entered in the event called a "Wild Horse Race" The horse will hopefully be stopped and saddled and rode around the arena,but like a lot of things in life it probably won't go as planned as the horses are not your everyday riding horses. What you don't see in the picture is the third cowboy with the saddle.

I love this photo. Every time I look at it my minds eye returns to my youth and the height of summer in central MT. I see determination and fear mingled with respect and awe. A celebration of a dying life.

Chains on the tires to keep Shaved Ice customers from stealing them.

Wonderful picture! Makes me want to go right up and visit that nostalgic scene! Evokes such a warm feeling.
Posted by Patti Waggoner on March 4,2013 | 09:45 PM
Nice photo!! THIS is how great farming is done.......by family......parents/grandparents passing on their knowledge to their children/grandchildren. Family time and family values along with feeding their fellow man! I can see a day when the grandson becomes the backbone of the operation. I like what this picture says to me. I also like the lighting.

It planned to sound civil defense sirens across the island state at 6 a.m. local time (11 a.m. EST) after the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said a tsunami was generated that could cause damage along the coasts of all the Hawaiian islands,
"Get off the shore line. We are closing all the beaches and telling people to drive out of the area," said John Cummings, Oahu Civil Defense spokesman.
Buses will patrol beaches and take people to parks in a voluntary process expected to last five hours.
More than an hour before sirens were due to sound lines of cars snaked for blocks from gas stations in Honolulu.
"Urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property," the Warning Center said in a bulletin. "All shores are at risk no matter which direction they face."
The center has issued a Pacific-wide tsunami warning that included Hawaii and stretched across the ocean from South America to the Pacific Rim.
Geophysicist Victor Sardina said the Hawaii-based center was urging all countries included in the warning to take the threat very seriously.
"Everybody is under a warning because the wave, we know, is on its way. Everybody is at risk now," he said in a telephone interview.
The warning follows a huge earthquake in Chile that killed at least 82 people and triggered tsunamis up and down the coast of the earthquake-prone country.
The center estimates the first tsunami, which is a series of several waves in succession, will hit Hawaii at 11:19 a.m. Hawaii time (4:19 p.m. EST) in the town of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, with waves in Honolulu at 11:52 a.m.
Sardina said the Hawaiian islands could expect waves of six feet (two meters) in some places. Other estimates have been higher but he could not confirm those were likely.
Sardina said the center was looking at Hilo Bay on Hawaii Island as a worst-case scenario right now.
"The shape of the bay favors the waves gaining in height," he said in a telephone interview.
He said California and Alaska could also be affected, but the impact on those coasts should be minimal.
