May 25, 2013Este es un gran juego de genero aventura-accion, con buenos graficos y un buen gameplay; hay que destacar tambien la trama del juego.Su gameplay (rol 3D) esta muy bueno, porque puedes tomar tus propias decisiones y vas podiendo armar tu juego.

May 9, 2013this game has one of the greatest stories you will encounter in games and the ending will surely make you cry although it lacks some freedom but the choices you make affect the story telling which gives you a high replayability simply one of the best games of 2012

Jan 27, 2013I haven't played all of this series yet, but so far it has been absolutely amazing. I'm doing a 'LetsPlay' of it and I even have fun while editing it.

Mar 7, 2013Definitely the best adventure game i've played in years.
The story is great, the graphics are nice. Everything about this game is so good.
I really hope they make more chapters in a near future. This IP has potential and Telltale did a tremendous making this game.
I'm glad they won the GOTY 2012. Very well deserved. -

Jul 11, 2013The border between film and video game becomes blurry, and the result is a unique interactive experience. This is a game about the choices that define who you are, and how the story adapts to those choices.
Jun 3, 2013
Aug 2, 2013Do yourself a favor, this game is one of the best things I've ever played. Mainly focused on the extremely real characters and epic plotline, this has got to be on my top five games of all time. Please, just buy it, unless you have no food and water available, this game should be your first order of business.
Dec 12, 2012One of the best stories in a game, makes you feel for the characters and regret your hard decisions even though you know in your heart it was the right choice.
Speaking of the right choice, the right choice is to buy this now! -
Feb 14, 2013Though it may be debatable that there may be not much game, it is made up by everything else. These tense moments, emotions and great story and dialogue makes up for this far beyond what I even expected to experience.

Nov 16, 2013The five episodes of The Walking Dead: Season One drag us into the worst scenario, an emotionally intense zombie apocalypse where every choice of the player is important. Visually it's like a comic, with a "gameplay mix" of the old Dragon's Lair and the classic Adventure games. A wonderful journey in a terribly corrupted world. VIRTUALINN.IT

Dec 11, 2012The Walking Dead is the best story based game I have played in a long time. I got very attached to my character and those around him and felt compelled to help everyone even though thats a imposable task. The dialoge options are vast and I found myself lost in telltales world. I can not wait untill episode one season 2 is released!

Feb 12, 201310 is way too low for this game. Brilliant writing that deviates from the story line of the TV series but keeps the spirit fully intact. Brilliant game that keeps you involved in the story and links you to each character, which were each well developed. Loved it. It seems like it can be replayed multiple times. Also love the fact that you are shown what others did in the choices.
Jan 28, 2013Anyone who doesn't view Telltale's The Walking Dead as a masterpiece doesn't have a good taste in games. After a frustrating experience with AMC's The Walking Dead television adaptation, I was surprised to see that Telltale was able to capture the gruesome dark horror of Kirkman's comic, with some amazing new characters and stories. A must play.
Nov 7, 2013
Mar 9, 2013Rather an interactive movie than a game. If you look at it like this, it's amazing. And you get to make a lot of hard choices, which really affect the story. I highly recommend it if you like horror movies. Only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because the graphics is not especially great, and for given level of detail it stresses my PC quite a lot.
Mar 1, 2013This game has gotten many people invested in the characters and setting on an emotional level. It's just worth it, not for the gameplay, but for story and characters.

Sep 28, 2013I'm giving the PC version the same score but I will say this game is best played with the keyboard and mouse on a PC you also have less bugs and other technical issues on the PC than the consoles or Vita.
May 30, 2013
Apr 27, 2013Best point and click game I have ever played. Characters are all interesting, except some of them that are just a pain in the ass which I'm glad are killed in spectacular fashion, voice acting is excellent, and it has plenty of moments that will make you cry. For $15, this game is a must must must buy. Can't wait for the next season.
May 23, 2013This game is just amazing. Unforgettable..... have never felt this emotionally attached to a game and it's characters/story-line. defiantly a must play.
Dec 22, 2012More of an interactive narrative, not very "fun" but extremely moving, fascinating, and well worth the price. Episode 2 was the worst but after that they got progressively better and extremely good.

Feb 22, 2013The Walking Dead deserves to be up in the ranks of Zelda OOT and Super Mario Bros for its innovative, unique way of storytelling, a cast of characters that the player will decide the connections with each of them, spot-on voice acting and many more qualities that make this game extraordinary.

Mar 23, 2013It's very rare that a game combines an interactive side to a solid story. This is game is so much more than a quick-time marathon. The controls are tasteful and un-repetitive, the characters are fantastically well constructed and the whole experience is refreshing. Refreshing in a blood and death sort of way.
Jul 20, 2013Really Cool. Different than a lot of games out there. You solve a few puzzles and make some fun decisions. A lot of decisions you make you only have 6 seconds to decide so it makes you feel like you are in the game a bit more. I like that. My favourite part about this game is how gory some of the scenes are. It's a good horror game.

Jun 20, 2013One of the best story-driven games I've ever played,a little disapointed because Telltale Games told us that your choices affect story.This puts up a huge question:Are video games really art?
You will go through more feelings with this,than with Titanic.
All in all great game,gets an 9/10. -

Mar 25, 2013I usually hate story focused games. I just want a game to PLAY, and prefer to enjoy my storytelling in books, movies, even TV. Maybe that's because most games just do an abysmally amateurish job of it, but this game is one of very few exceptions. The story is almost good enough to forget it doesn't even have any gameplay. For a gamer like me, that's saying a whole lot. Highly recommended.
Jan 16, 2013It took me about an hour and a half to get The Walking Dead Episode 5: No Time Left running properly. Between mouse problems (fixed by changing the resolution and then changing it back), save import bugs (especially hard to solve on this Mac laptop), and the metaphorical Sword of Damocles that is review season creating a limit on how much time I can spend fixing the game, it
Dec 14, 2012Best Game I Ever Played... Characters Were Awesome, Story was Heart-Touching Overall The Game is an Art - A Beautiful Art
Mar 20, 2013the game is very fun nice story strangely nice comics graphics just in some places it was boring to play but game is cool waiting for season 2 if they will work more for this game it will be my favorite game i didint like the end though because Lee died i wanted him in season 2 i even cried :D
Jul 4, 2013Do you like amazing games at amazing prices?
Do not listen to the crying about no choices, its not true. your choices do make a difference, characters will die or live, by your choices. There is only one thing THAT you can't stop by any choices you make. And your just going to have to play to find out! -

Jan 31, 2013This is easily the best game in 2012 for story. The fact that some people think it is not a game just sickens me. How can people nitpick and use any straws they can cling to in order to say that it is not worthy of the high score it has?
Dec 23, 2012
Feb 12, 2013I think this game is rather a movie than a game, but thats aint a problem! The story is well written with fantastic characters. The graphic is a bit rusty but its somehow fits perfectly for the whole atmosphere.
Jun 19, 2013For this genre this game is incredible, the story is so addictive and interesting it keeps you wanting more. The only negative thing about it is that it ends.
Incredible story and gameplay, highly recommend. -
Oct 30, 2013I only have two games which i would call perfect. Portal and The Walking Dead. This story is so perfect i wanted to believe they were real. The art style is so nicely detailed and brilliant. When the I got to the end i cried that is how much this game makes you care. Play this game and if you do not love it, I do not know what to say.
Feb 15, 2013
Mar 6, 2013Absolutely amazing game. Changing storyline, detailed characters, edgy graphics and gameplay system. It's not a 10 because it has an occasional bug and glitch and isn't 100% refined. It's rough on a few of its edges but it's still an absolutely fantastic game worth playing. 9/10 all day.

Mar 11, 2013
Apr 24, 2013Stop reading reviews on metacritic, get Telltale's The Walking Dead and get ready for a truly unique, enthralling and incredibly immersive experience (of the extent the gaming industry hasn't seen in many a year)!
Jan 11, 2013
Apr 19, 2013That's the difference of "games of truth" to the "games" that we see today Loved every minute of this game and it really reminds me of the golden age of gaming in 1994 onwards with point click games like The Dig and the famous Monkey Island. Bought without fear and do not regret a penny. simply fantastic
Jun 3, 2013I was thouroughly suprised that i enjoyed this game as much as I did. I really enjoyed the story just as much as the show or the comic. The characters were well written and there was a ton of suspense. I will definately pick up another installment if they make one.

Mar 27, 2013Amazing game you will never forget. Its been about a month since I finished it, I am not a big fan of the show but every time I see it I am reminded about this story.
May 7, 2013
Jul 13, 2013This is probably one of the best Story/Dialogue based games out there. It was so emotional and breathtaking to play. It was basically a well-written book/film that YOU were apart of. It truly deserves all the hype and I cannot believe that it isn't a 50 dollar game where it should be.
Sep 14, 2013
Jan 19, 2013
Mar 2, 2013This is my favorite game of 2012 and imo the best adventure game of its class to be released this century if not ever. The story and pacing were both superb and I am anticipating a sequel. The fact it came out at a time when entertainment is over-saturated with zombie media makes it all the more surprising that I became so invested in it. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Jun 5, 2013In my opinion it's not really a game,more of an interactive movie really but holy crap is it a good interactive movie.The emotional payback of this game is huge,your choices affect everything,you will have to choose who lives,who dies and so on,it's brilliant.
Jul 2, 2013Generally one of the best games out there. The story has emotional impacts on you and the game later on. And the ending... may or may not have made me cried :L

Nov 7, 2013
Dec 25, 2012I have never played a game that can make you feel everything there is out there. A masterpiece. That ending alone deserves 10/10. Damn it, I cried like hell!
Jan 19, 2013
May 9, 2013It's not perfect but The Walking Dead is one of the most important advances in interactive fiction for a generation, with some of the most memorable characters of any video game.
Mar 15, 2013The Walking Dead is a serious, solid, but clay-footed work; in truth, it wouldn't stand out from the crowd if video game storytelling wasn't so impoverished to begin with.

The Colorado Avalanche claimed Aaron Palushaj off waivers from Montreal. Here was my write up on Palushaj last season:
The Good: Palushaj is a smart playmaker who regularly shows above-average vision. Over the years he has improved his skating from very poor to pro level and times showing even above that. He's got very desirable intangibles in regards to his on ice work ethic as he's an energy bug who pressures well on the fore check, and gets involved in physical play.
The Bad: Palushaj's strength and body are a major question mark as his strength level is not where it should be considering his age and pro experience. He can easily be out-muscled and will struggle to be the kind of physical player in the NHL that he is in the AHL barring improvement in that area. His puck skills are ok, but not top six forward caliber. Palushaj is kind of caught between a tweener area where he may not be good enough for top six, or be able to fit into a prototypical third line role.
Projection: He could be an average NHLer.
Palushaj has had a simply ok season so far but this could be chance on a lesser team with forward depth issues for Palushaj to get a chance. He's not a 4th line NHL player and he will not be anything of value in that role so he has to sink or swim with at least semi-real minutes. It will be interesting to see how he fares with this new opportunity.
The Caroline Hurricanes waived winger Zach Boychuk who was then picked up by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Boychuk was the 14th overall pick in 2008 and as recently as the summer of 2011, I had ranked him as the 58th best drafted prospect in hockey. He was ineligible for my 2012 top 100 list, but he would not have been ranked if he was. Boychuk is a very skilled individual who has a ton of quickness, high-end puck skills and a quality shot. He has all the raw tools you want in a top six forward but he's had issues in the pro game. Boychuk's consistency has been a point of criticism from NHL sources, as well as his ability to put on strength, handle pro level physicality and his defensive value.
This year he did seem to be making some progress in the strength and consistency areas. He was very quality in the half season he spent in the AHL, and there's a plausible argument he was starting to elevate his game to that next level.
In his short pro career Boychuk has been caught between not good enough to play an NHL scoring line and his inability to play a defensive role. If he's come along enough he may be able to do the former with Pittsburgh at a fringe level. They would clearly only claim him if he's going to get that opportunity to be given offensive ice time and succeed at what he's best at. It may be one of those change of scenery things that could help get Boychuk going as well.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — After retracing the steps of an uncle he'd never met, Lakewood Ranch resident Russ Wilkins realized his 30 years of research couldn't sit on a bookshelf in his family's home.
"I had a story that I needed to tell," Wilkins said. "A lot of people aren't aware that there are more than 70,000 Americans missing from World War II."
Americans such as Wilkins' uncle, Elliott Russell Lund, who died during the war.
Wilkins' book, "Missing in Belgium," tells the story of World War II and of Lund, a paratrooper who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and was taken as a prisoner of war and died in service. Lund's body was sent home in 1950, but even now, there are questions as to whether it was actually his body that returned home.
During the war, churches would provide soldiers with pocket Bibles. And in 1992, Uncle Lund's Bible arrived by mail from Belgium. It had been in a museum there after being found on the body of a dead American soldier immediately after the Battle of the Bulge. The fact begged a new question: Did Uncle Lund get taken as a prisoner of war and die just before the war's end as his family had believed for so many years or was his body left behind at the Battle of the Bulge where his Bible was found?
Lund cannot say for certain, but his book explores the possibilities surrounding his uncle's death while raising awareness that the bodies of so many American soldiers were never found.
Wilkins never expected to write a book on the topic, especially when he started doing World War II research in the late 1970s. At the time, Wilkins was stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army.
"I never knew my uncle," Wilkins said. "It was my mother's brother. She was really close to him growing up and she never really knew what happened. It was just one of those things that out of curiosity, I just started doing research to see if I could retrace his steps."
Wilkins started his research at U.S. military bases oversees and local bookstores, and later, the Internet.
"I just started reading out of curiosity and accumulating information," he said. "It was like putting a puzzle together. To make a long story short, one day I just looked at this box (of information) and realized I had enough information to write a book."
At first, Wilkins thought his writings would stay within the family. But the deeper he became in his venture, the more he realized that the story of World War II veterans and the soldiers who are still missing needed to be told.
The project took about one-and-one-half years to complete.
Since the book released in December, Wilkins has received phone calls and letters from veterans throughout the United States, thanking him for putting their experiences into words.
"There's not a lot of (World War II veterans) left, and they feel like their story needs to be told," Wilkins said. "For a lot of those guys, I'm the means for them to tell their story. I'm glad I did it."
Wilkins said he has been promoting "Missing in Belgium" primarily through veterans' magazines and organizations since publication began.

Friday, Dec 63:30 AMNelson Mandela passes away
- South African markets are calm following the passing of Nelson Mandela, who was instrumental in the country's peaceful transition away from apartheid.
- One of Mandela's biggest achievements was enacting policies that paved the way for GDP to grow for 15 years, the longest period of expansion in South Africa's history. These policies included embracing the free market, cutting costs and attracting foreign investment.
- The question is now that Mandela has passed on, whether South Africa will feel more free to abandon the policies and conciliation that he espoused. For example, the ANC's youth wing wants to nationalize banks and mines, policies that Mandela ditched in 1994.
- There are also fears that Mandela's death could leave South Africa open to renewed racial and social tensions, such as those seen in the mine strikes over the past year or so.
- The economy is already not in a good way: unemployment is 24.7% and there is a large inequality in earnings between blacks and whites.
- The FTSE/JSE Top 40 is +0.3%, the South African 10-year bond yield is -2.5 bps at 8.16%, and the USD-ZAR is +0.2% at 10.4732 rand.
- Tickers: HMY, AGPPY, AGPPF, AAUKY, AAUKF, SSL, GFI, ABX, AU, SBGGF.

Wednesday, Jun 2610:40 AM43 out of 45 global markets are oversold, according to BAML's "Breadth Buy" indicator. These extreme signals tend to be followed by a short-term 6-7% bounce, but, cautions chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett, a sustained rally would require a shift in policy behavior. What's more, the 2 markets not in oversold territory are the U.S. (SPY) and Japan (EWJ, DXJ) and they're kind of important. Most oversold: Brazil (EWZ), Turkey (TUR), South Africa (EZA), Mexico (EWW), Materials (XLB), China (FXI, CAF). Least oversold (in addition to the U.S. and Japan): Health Care (XLV, IYH), and Consumer Discretionary (XLY). |Wednesday, Jun 2610:40 AM| Comment!
Tuesday, Jun 115:45 AMThe rout in emerging markets has continued today, with the South African rand (EZA) sliding 1.6% to 10.35 to the dollar, the yield on 10-year government bonds jumping 27.5 bps to 8.17%, and the JSE Top 40 sinking 1.8%. Meanwhile, Thai shares lost 4.5%, Indonesia 3.9% and the Philippines 4.6%. (See rupee hits record lows) |Tuesday, Jun 115:45 AM| Comment!
Monday, Jun 37:55 AMGlencore Xstrata (GLCNF.PK) fires 1,000 workers across three of its chrome mines in South Africa for going on illegal strike last week, bringing those operations to a halt. The dispute adds to long-running friction in the mining industry that has raised concerns about Africa's largest economy and sent the rand to four-year lows. The country is home to ~75% of the world's chromite reserves. |Monday, Jun 37:55 AM| Comment!
Friday, May 316:13 AMEmerging-market currencies are taking a battering, with the South African rand (EZA) receiving particular punishment. What began as a "drip drip of currency weakness" (WSJ) on concerns about the end of the Fed's QE program has turned into a flood as countries' various problems become exposed. The rand is down 6.3% since last week and the Turkish lira is -2.4%. |Friday, May 316:13 AM| 1 Comment
Thursday, May 232:46 PMGold's sharp rise today can be attributed to the dollar's drop vs. the yen; when the dollar drops, gold should rise, as their correlation during the past 24 days has hit -86%. A stock sector that's standing out is emerging market gold miners: South Africa's Sibanye (SBGL), Harmony (HMY) and AngloGold (AU), plus Peru's Buenaventura (BVN) are stronger, even as their corresponding country ETFs (EZA; EPU) are in the red. |Thursday, May 232:46 PM| 5 Comments
Tuesday, May 212:17 PMSouth Africa's rand falls to its lowest level in four years as clashes between mine owners and workers erupt again today. Government "heavy-handedness" with mining companies has created a "major negative" for investors both inside and outside mining, as it reduces companies' abilities to set their balance sheets and control their own destinies, Greenbriar Partners says. AU -3.3%, GFI -3%, HMY -2.6%. |Tuesday, May 212:17 PM| 5 Comments
Monday, May 208:12 AMShares of South African miners sink as the country's mine workers union calls for a 60% pay increase on gold and coal producers. The union says it is seeking an entry-level minimum monthly wage of 7K rand ($750) for surface workers and 8K rand for underground workers vs. respective current minimum wages of 4.7K and 5K rand. AU -3.7%, GFI -3.4%, HMY -1.9% premarket. |Monday, May 208:12 AM| 2 Comments
Friday, May 177:58 AMThe head of a major South African mining union threatens to bring the country's economy "to a standstill" and demands a meeting with President Zuma, ramping up the rhetoric in a long and heated conflict between labor and the government. But a strike seems averted for at least another day, as top platinum producer Amplats (AGPPY.PK) says employees reported for today's shifts as normal. |Friday, May 177:58 AM| Comment!
Wednesday, May 82:52 PMThe recent selloff in commodities (DBC) is not a correction, says Stan Druckenmiller, now on stage at Ira Sohn, but instead the end of the supercycle. Avoid commodity markets - Brazil (EWZ, BRF, BRL), South Africa (EZA, SZR), Canada (EWC, FXC). "Frankly, I'd short the aussie (FXA)." His largest equity holding? "I can't imagine a better position than Google (GOOG)" - selling for 16x earnings and no exposure to China. |Wednesday, May 82:52 PM| 4 Comments
Monday, Dec 312012, 11:51 AMMore details on iShares' ETF fee hikes: Going to 0.61% from 0.59% (a 3.4% hike) are its Chile Investable Market Fund (ECH), China Small Cap Fund (ECNS), Indonesia Investable Market Fund (EIDO), Israel Capped Investable Market Fund (EIS), Philippines Investable Market Fund (EPHE) , Poland Investable Market Fund (EPOL), All Peru Capped Fund (EPU), Taiwan Fund (EWT), South Korea Fund (EWY), Brazil Fund (EWZ), Brazil Small Cap Fund (EWZS), South Africa Fund (EZA), Thailand Investable Market Fund (THD) and Turkey Investable Market Fund (TUR). |Monday, Dec 312012, 11:51 AM| 2 Comments
Monday, Dec 102012, 1:20 PMEmerging markets are hot, but just some of the smaller markets - Colombia (CXG), Philippines (EPHE), South Africa (EZA), Thailand (THD), Turkey (TUR) - are seeing ETF inflows which could be described as worrying. Among the larger markets, India (MSCI India +28% YTD) and China (MSCI China +14% in last quarter) aren't seeing this sort of interest. |Monday, Dec 102012, 1:20 PM| 2 Comments
Friday, Oct 122012, 12:38 PMSouth Africa's credit rating is cut to BBB from BBB+ at S&P, with the outlook remaining negative. The country's mining strikes are likely to have the ANC taking on "more populist elements" heading into 2014 elections, resulting in "amplified spending pressures and reduce(d) fiscal flexibility." |Friday, Oct 122012, 12:38 PM| Comment!
Monday, Oct 82012, 1:32 PMSpreading labor unrest in South Africa is taking a toll on the country's government paper and the currency, with the prices of both slumping to multi-year lows. "We think it more likely than not that the rand will at least test the 9/dollar mark," says a local currency strategist. SZR -13.1% Y/Y. |Monday, Oct 82012, 1:32 PM| 2 Comments
Thursday, Mar 292012, 12:05 PMWith risk poking its head out again, emerging market currencies slide, led today by South Africa's rand (SZR) and the Hungarian forint. Both country's kept interest rates on hold last night, with South Africa's central bank sounding a bit dovish. Also hit are the Mexican peso (FXM) and India's rupee (ICN) |Thursday, Mar 292012, 12:05 PM| 1 Comment
Monday, Mar 122012, 12:54 PMSouth African oil major Sasol (SSL -2.1%) reports earnings of $1.8B for 2011 H2, up from $980M a year earlier, roughly inline with estimates. Profits benefited from a 16% decline in the rand (SZR) as well as higher crude prices. |Monday, Mar 122012, 12:54 PM| Comment!

Lisa Beck, a professor of dermatology at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), will soon begin an NIH-funded clinical trial of Actos (pioglitazone), a drug often prescribed for diabetics, which may turn out to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce symptoms for eczema patients.
Actos, made by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and already approved by the FDA in pill form, could appear unofficially on the market for eczema therapy much sooner than a new drug discovered from scratch.

Joan belongs to: Cullercoats Community Centre
Joan was born in Cullercoats. She worked abroad before returning to Cullercoats. Joan now spends her time writing.
Joan was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 1 March 2006. The interview took place at Cullercoats Community Centre and lasted 31 minutes and 8 seconds.
Going with her sister to sell fish
"I never went with my Gran but I went with my sister. She had a little van and she would, she would go to outlying areas of the places "
I never went with my Gran but I went with my sister. She had a little van and she would, she would go to outlying areas of the places where my granny went, where she couldnt get to, really. For instance, at Stocksfield, my sister used to drive up to New Ridley which was quite a, would have been quite a long walk for my granny, and she had people there, and she also used to go on to Appley Dene.
And I think I once caught sight of Dr. Ethel Williams, who was the first, I think the first female doctor to practice in the North East, if not, in the whole of England, and I think she died in, I think she died in 1948, so it must have been certainly before then, and Im sure she lived down at Appley Dene. And Ethel Williams is now, there used to be an Ethel Williams Hostel or something at Benton for students- Newcastle University students, but I think its just called the Williams now, or something like that.
But my sister used to go to Appley Dene and then she used to go on to Minstracres, which is now a monastery, and serve the people on that estate because they were nearly all Catholics and of course used to do well on a Friday with fish.
I used to love going away with my sister because I, I used to go up, knock on doors and ask people what they wanted, and come back and tell her and then dash back with it, so I used to see some lovely houses, meet lots of nice people, lots of nice dogs, babies, that sort of thing.
And she used to go to Slaley as well, which is a good way out, and I remember there was a vicar there who had tame geese and they used to follow him to funerals and weddings, they used to just quack in his wake as he walked, you know, from the door up to the church. And I remember he once left an order for some fish, and he said, please can I have three filets of soul,- S-O-U-L. He got mixed up with his soles.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Ordered this save the date for my wedding and i could not be happier! it's exactly how I imagined, the photo looked great, paper quality was nice and thick and overall it was great! I did rush shipping and with rush shipping it said it would take two weeks (i live in Canada) but i ordered it the Wednesday and got it on the Monday!!! Thank you wedding paper divas!! I've already gotten great compliments on the save-the-dates :)"
"We liked the ability to customize this with individual pics and a large one on the back. Perfect amount of room for text. Crisp and clean look. We'd use this again for sure. Thanks!"
"Great color and thats because we opted for the basic matte finish. The texture of the card is just lovely. Overall, very impressed. I know the recipients of our cards will be too."
"I am so happy with how you guys handled my order. I ordered on a Wednesday, had my email proof of a different color then was offered by Friday, made a few adjustments at what I thought was after hours, but these changes were made within minutes, and finalized! I had an email on Monday saying they were ready to ship, and had them in my hand on Tuesday. I could not believe how fast they were, and professional looking they are. They are a hit with everyone who received one, and I'm over the moon!! My fiancé, who needless to say didn't want them, was equally as impressed with them. And that's saying a lot. I ordered this particular save the date in a dark purple and a blue writing and it's everything I could have hoped for! Our wedding colors came to life in these save the dates! Thank you for everything you did, and your fantastic service!"
"My save the date turned out beautiful! I added the pearl shimmer and it was a great touch. I got a ton of compliments from them and I thought the quality was great. The customer service was excellent, they were quick, and answered all questions I had. They were even able to add my wedding website in, which I was concerned about because it was a long URL. They even sent a card after thanking me for my business and congratulating me on my engagement. I will definitely be using Wedding Paper Divas for my Invitations, Thank yous and anything else I need. Also, I specifically recommend this save the date, it's gorgeous and showcases lots of pictures!"

One of my favorite things to do is write checks to the charities I've picked for various book projects. And I got to do that this past week after getting a check from Torquere for Animal Attraction 2. I sent Gentle Giants and Florida Draft Horse Rescue some money, and you can reach them here should you be so inclined.
In fact, I just heard from Laura DiFranco, their Director of Marketing, and Gentle Giants recently got in six new rescues, very thin and diseased horses who need even more than the regular medical attention. They have severe rain rot, are underweight, and need corrective hoof care. I know the economy is tough on everyone, and every penny counts. If you have even a dollar or two to spare, it could certainly help these animals out.
Once I get a royalty check from Lethe, I'll also be sending the Audubon Birds of Prey Center in Maitland, Florida part of my proceeds. They do rescue and rehab of raptors, the birds of prey. Visit them or their website when you can.

Roland HPi-6F Digital Piano With Bench - Rosewood
Stock code: 88505Features
- Free Headphones & Extended 5 year Roland warranty if you buy before November
- Roland's acclaimed SuperNATURAL Piano engine onboard
- PHA II Ivory Feel keyboard with Escapement
- 7" large, high-resolution display built into the music rest
- Includes bench
With core technology derived from Roland's award-winning V-Piano, the Roland HPi-6F Digital Piano features amazing SuperNATURAL Piano sound, PHA II "Ivory Feel" keyboards, and interactive DigiScore training programs. A large, flat-screen LCD is built into the music rest of each piano, providing "digital sheet music" and a variety of skill-building programs. DigiScore makes learning fun, and can even evaluate your performances and check your finger strength. These incredible sounding educational pianos fully realize the dreams of piano students, teachers, and performers of all ages.
SuperNATURAL Piano
The new HPi-6F is enhanced with Roland's advanced SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine. With SuperNATUAL Piano technology, three essential elements are dramatically improved: velocity response, note decay, and key-range behavior. Where previous sample-based technology created coarse "stair-step" gaps in velocity and key range, and unnatural looping in note decay, SuperNATURAL Piano bridges the gaps with perfectly smooth and natural three-dimensional sound and response.
PHA II Ivory Feel Keyboard with Escapement
For the most authentic acoustic grand piano feel, the HPi-6F is equipped with the PHA II keyboard with Escapement. This amazing keyboard technology offers the same natural response as a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower range and lighter touch in the upper, and with lighter resistance on pianissimo passages and stronger resistance on fortissimo just like a well-maintained acoustic grand. It even faithfully reproduces the escapement "click feel" of a grand-piano action. The keyboard also features Roland's acclaimed Ivory Feel -- a comfortable and realistic moisture-absorbent material that prevents slipping from perspiration during performance.
Large-Screen DigiScore
DigiScore displays digital sheet music on the large, built-in LCD. Sharpen your skills with the onboard Visual Lessons and Finger-Training exercises, and play along as the bouncing ball moves rhythmically with the music to improve your sense of time in a natural way. DigiScore also displays finger numbers, note and chord names, and musical symbols/notation marks, and you can switch easily between expanded displays and zoomed-in parts for each hand. You can also play along with a graphical metronome and onscreen keyboard, and visually check to see whether the force of each finger is the same.
Skill-Building Games
Students will enjoy the HPi-6F's friendly, interactive DigiScore games, which provide a fresh, innovative way to learn on your own. The Flash Card game is like "pick a card," where you can develop your piano skills in a natural and fun way. The DoReMi Course is a no-pressure review on music reading and fingering techniques, while the Scroll game lets you play along with a graphical piano roll on the display. The games are great fun children, but even adults will get hooked.
Beautiful Design
With beautiful wood cabinets finished in Satin Black or Rosewood, the new HPi-6F is as visually attractive as they sound.
The music stop features handsome brass music clips, and the three-piece pedal unit provides a classic look, with the left and right pedals tapered outward. To round out the visual appeal, the front legs provide a sense of stateliness and stability. Choose the finish you prefer to perfectly suit your interior surroundings.

Matilda is a hurricane that formed off Brazil a few weeks ago and tore straight through Paramaribo . . . [hurricane season] is usually September and October. But these days you can never tell, because there's so much trouble with the climate and the greenhouse effect and all that.It's fiction, I know, I know. Fortunately, Larsson gets back to the escapist stuff right away and Salander is again fighting bad guys, not freaky tornadocanes.

I have only read two thrillers in my life. The first was Michael Crichton's 'State of Fear' - you know not go go there.
The second (recently) was about Diana, former wife of Charles, about who's death I knew almost nothing. Turns out it was the (very,very, very) evil Russians wot killed the poor woman. MI6 are really nice, warm loving people who wouldn't hurt a fly.
The author's (real name David Thomas) father was a member of the British government's Joint Intelligence Committee, one of who's functions is to 'direct the collection and analysis effort of MI6'.
It was quite entertaining. The hero only kills people (Russians and Muslims) who deserve to die, which was comforting. They hated Britain, our freedoms and our world beating Premier League.

I HIGHLY recommend these books, all three. Note, swedish movies (with subtitles) have been made of all three books, i saw the first movie over in England, it was released in the U.S. in April. Hard to imagine but the actress Roomi Napace nails Lisbeth's character

I cringed when I read that part of the book, too. Still, the first two novels were great and I'm looking forward to tackling the third one soon.

Weirdly enough there has been a hurricane in Brazil. Still pretty rare though.
Re eric144. I find you have to ask yourself the question that reveals the conspiracy theory's logical flaw. In Diana's case ask "would MI6 use a Fiat Uno to force a Mercedes off the road?". With 9/11 you ask "Would Cheney be in the Whitehouse and Rumsfeld be in the Pentagon if they knew a plane/missile was coming?". Or "If they're that smart/devious, why couldn't they plant some WMD's in Iraq too?" - Thu Jun 10, 07:24:00 AM MDT
- eric144 said...
James Bond drove an Aston Martin, not a Fiat Uno. You are absolutely correct. According to MI6's favourite novelist, the Russians used a laser from a motorcycle to confuse the driver.
Five Mossad agents told Israeli TV they had been sent to record the events of 9/11 in New York. They failed FBI lie detector tests, so I don't believe them.
This is part of an Israeli made documentary that bizarrely tries to debunk the story.
A friend wrote me a letter telling me that people were too stupid to create conspiracies. He is wrong. The CIA have carried out countless undercover operations most TV viewers have never heard of. I also reminded him of Apollo 16, Echelon, CERN and Hiroshima. His problem is that he isn't smart enough to do stuff like that and he assumes no one else is.
The ego is our biggest enemy. - Thu Jun 10, 04:43:00 PM MDT

Quick apology.
Part of that video is indeed a section of an Israeli documentary, but there is an anti Jewish overtone at the end I absolutely do not endorse. I didn't watch it through before I posted.
The story was first reported on ABC 20/20 and followed up by the Glasgow Herald. Three of the Israelis were revealed as Mossad agents by major Jewish American publication 'Forward' and they did fail FBI lie detector tests.
Many of the links I had are now broken as the websites have undergone improvements. It's easy to find versions still online.
Here it is on Fox News (at the very bottom)
The New York Times reported Thursday that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterwards.

Steve Jobs, My Hero
I happened to be in the Apple Store in Clarendon, Virginia buying an iPad2 when Steve Jobs picture appeared on a computer screen. Throughout the store, we experienced the slow, startling understanding that Steve Jobs had passed away. It was an unsettling moment, but now I consider it to be a precious coincidence that my lifetime memory will include such a direct connection with his incredible impact and legacy.
Many memories have been flashing through my mind: That unforgettable commercial in 1984; a personal encounter at an Apple reception in the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC; the iPod – and the iPod commercials, which really did make you want to dance
But what I want to share most are two episodes I keep coming back to – two episodes that for me, capture the essence of why Steve Jobs was the greatest innovator of our time:
The question he posed to John Sculley, when he was recruiting Sculley to come to Apple:
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?"
And, second:
Richard Rumelt's description of an encounter with Steve Jobs in 1998 from an interview with McKinsey Quarterly, published in November 2007:
After giving Jobs his assessment of Apple's long-term chances in the personal computer market, he posed he question, "So what are you trying to do? What's the long term strategy?" And Steve Jobs reaction? "He just smiled and said, 'I am going to wait for the next big thing."

- Comments
Global IT distributor, Avnet Technology Solutions, has named Darren Adams as its vice-president and general manager for Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ), commencing January 28, 2013.
Based in Sydney, Adams will be responsible for all Avnet operations across the region, and report to Avnet Asia-Pacific (APAC) president, William Chu.
Adams first joined Avnet in 2002 as a regional sales leader for the company APAC business, before relocating to the US in 2008 to take on the role of business transformation vice-president. In this position, he developed a distribution relationship with Cisco Systems.
A year later, he was promoted to supplier business acceleration vice-president, before he received the Avnet Chairman's Award in recognition of his leadership, and was named general manager for Avnet Americas' Cisco Solutions group in 2010. During his time in this position, the business grew by double digits year-over-year (YoY).
"The experience Adams gained from his assignments in North America will serve him well in this new leadership role," Chu said. "As he did when he joined the team in the Americas, Adams will bring new knowledge and perspectives to his team in A/NZ."
"Adams will also help us strengthen our focus on profitable growth across the region and continue our path toward providing complete solutions for our channel partners."

Annual Engineering Expo
Engineering Expo set for April 27
ANGOLA, Ind. – See robots in action, check out a reusable rocket designed to meet NASA specifications or get an up-close look at a combat surgical tool designed for local industry at Trine University's annual Engineering Expo Friday, April 27, from noon to 3 p.m.
The expo will showcase the work of seniors in Trine's Allen School of Engineering & Technology in Fawick Hall.
Keynote Speaker Don Wood, founder of 80/20 Inc., along with chief operating officer Cindy Riemersma will give a special presentation, "Living the Dream: The Creation of 80/20 Inc." from noon to 12:30 in Fawick Hall 112/117. Wood started his career at a young age selling seeds door-to-door. Being a true entrepreneur all of his life, Wood has gained wisdom and real-life experiences from a variety of roles including machinist, salesman, board member and business owner.
In 1989, a small, 3,000-square-foot space in Fort Wayne, Ind., became the first home of The Industrial Erector Set. 80/20 has flourished in less than 15 years and has moved to its own 115,000-square-foot warehouse.
Following the presentation, guests are encouraged to tour the building and its laboratories and classrooms, as well as see demonstrations of students' projects.
"This event would not have been possible without our dedicated faculty and staff, tenacious students, and committed exhibitors and industrial partners," said VK Sharma, Ph.D., dean of the engineering school. "We look forward to this expo and hope that the community – and future engineers – will attend."
Exhibitors at the event include Avalign Technologies, Cives Steel Company, Deister Machine Inc., DePuy Orthopaedics, ETA Engineering Inc., Inovateus Solar LLC and Nucor Building Systems.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
Added missing type parameters to FutureTask. Fixed single thread adapter example and made sure it compiles.
 <title> Executor examples </title>
 These probably don't qualify as canonical use cases, but they are applications of executors that I have come across in real life.

 Converting a blocking request into non-blocking request

 I have a service interface with a method that blocks, possibly for a long time, for example, the client side of an HTTP-based service that blocks while waiting for a response.

 public interface Request ... public interface Response ... interface BlockingService { Response serve(Request req) throws ServiceException; }

 I want an adapter that converts this interface into one that returns a Future<Response> without blocking.

 interface NonBlockingService { Future<Response> serve(Request req); }

 Here's how I might do it under the currently checked in proposal.

 import java.util.concurrent.Callable; import java.util.concurrent.Executor; import java.util.concurrent.Executors; import java.util.concurrent.Future; class NonBlockingServiceAdapter implements NonBlockingService { public NonBlockingServiceAdapter(BlockingService svc) { this(svc, null); } public NonBlockingServiceAdapter(BlockingService svc, Executor executor) { this.blockingService = svc; if (executor == null) { this.executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(3); } else { this.executor = executor; } } public Future<Response> serve(final Request req) { Callable<Response> task = new Callable<Response>() { public Response call() { return blockingService.serve(req); } }; return Executors.execute(executor, task); } private final BlockingService blockingService; private final Executor executor; }

 If I change my mind about using a fixed size thread pool as the default and want to use, say, a caching thread pool, I don't have to change the imports and I don't have to learn any new types; I just consult the Executors javadocs and change one line to something like:

 this.executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();

 In this case it is irrelevant that the factory method returns a more specific type.

 If there were no Executor factory methods or if those factory methods were part of AbstractExecutor/ThreadExecutor, I'd have to learn about and import a type just so I could get access to its factory methods or public constructors.

 If I have more complicated requirements on the internal executor, I can pass in an instance that has been configured in advance with Callbacks/Hooks/Intercepts, possibly an extension of an existing class or even my own custom implementation of Executor.

 If a later redesign requires lifecycle management for the internal executor, under the current proposal I would change its type to ExecutorService and provide methods on NonBlockingServiceAdapter that ultimately call into the ExecutorService instance. The executor and the executor service are the same object under the current proposal, but this is not a requirement for this example.

 Workaround Borland C++ DLL threading limitation

 An annoying design flaw in one version of the Borland C++ (for Windows) runtime libraries causes a severe crash.if a C++ exception is thrown in DLL code within a thread other than the one in which the DLL was loaded. For JNI users, there are several ways around this problem, including changing the compiler and avoiding the use of C++ exceptions. However, if none of these workarounds are available, the only solution is to make sure that alls calls to native methods implemented by such a DLL are made in the same thread as the one that loaded the DLL.

 If you run into this situation repeatedly, as I did, you might find yourself wanting an adapter class to do the heavy lifting for you using a dynamic proxy, as follows: For a class NativeImpl with native methods implemented by a Borland C++ DLL, define an interface NativeInterface consisting of all of the native methods of NativeImpl, and make NativeImpl extend NativeInterface. The adapter uses Proxy.newProxyInstance to create a new instance of this interface by implementing the invoke to execute each method call as a Callable on a single thread executor that delegates to an underlying NativeImpl.

 class SingleThreadAdapter { public SingleThreadAdapter(final String library) { this.executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(); try { Executors.invoke(executor, new Runnable() { public void run () { System.loadLibrary(library); } }, Boolean.TRUE); } catch (ExecutionException e) { // System.loadLibrary does not throw checked exceptions. Throwable cause = e.getCause(); if (cause instanceof RuntimeException) { throw (RuntimeException) cause; } else { throw (Error) cause; } } catch (InterruptedException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); // what should this really be? } } public <T> T newInstance(Callable<T> creator) throws Exception { try { T instance = Executors.invoke(executor, creator); return (T) Proxy.newProxyInstance( instance.getClass().getClassLoader(), instance.getClass().getInterfaces(), new Handler(instance)); } catch (ExecutionException e) { Throwable cause = e.getCause(); if (cause instanceof Exception) { throw (Exception) cause; } else { throw (Error) cause; } } catch (InterruptedException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); // what should this really be? } } private class Handler implements InvocationHandler { public Object invoke(Object proxy, final Method method, final Object[] args) throws Throwable { try { return Executors.invoke(executor, new Callable<Object>() { public Object call () throws Exception { return method.invoke(instance, args); } }); } catch (ExecutionException e) { Throwable cause = e.getCause(); if (cause instanceof InvocationTargetException) { throw cause.getCause(); } else { throw cause; } } catch (InterruptedException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); // what should this really be? } } Handler(Object instance) { this.instance = instance; } private final Object instance; } private final Executor executor; }

 Typical use of this class would be:

 try { SingleThreadAdapter adapter = new SingleThreadAdapter("LegacyEngine.dll"); NativeInterface ni = (NativeInterface) adapter.newInstance(new Callable<NativeInterface>() { public NativeInterface call() { return new NativeImpl(); // may use native calls } }); int i = ni.nativeIntMethod(); } // catch clauses for adapter creation, instance creation, invocation, // interruption...

 Even though it is clear that SingleThreadExecutor and no other kind of Executor will be used in the implementation, there is no reason to expose this anywhere except in the SingleThreadAdapter constructor.

 The exception handling is a bit tricky. Joe Bowbeer showed me how to do it right, but it took me a while to understand why it was right. I wonder if other users would be similarly confused.

When I took down the Christmas decor, I switched the mantel to winter decor. I used snowmen, icicles, and snowflakes and kept the greenery and lights that were already there. We had a beautiful snowfall today. 3" so far of big fluffy flakes that fell gently and was just lovely. Since we have been in the middle of a drought, this is very welcome. TTFN, Candy | |||
A close up of some of the snowmen. 3 of them are clear and light up when connected to the light string. Candy | ||||
Very cute display CC. Love snowmen! | ||||
I love your snowmen and mantel it looks very festive. I would love to have a fireplace, but here in South Florida, there seems to be no need. | ||||
How cute! I'll bet they make you smile whenever you view them! | ||||
I keep my snowmen items out after Christmas. Your mantel is cute. | ||||
What a nice way to transition from holiday decorations. | ||||
Nicely decorated. The idea implemented is simply great. The crystal snowman is looking more beautiful than the other ones. The snowfall idea is awesome. Sorelle Home | ||||
I love your different size snowflakes, I've never thought of using them on the mantel. Hopefully I can remember this idea for next Christmas! | ||||
I like the snowflake idea too. I'm going to try to remember those for next winter. | ||||
Thanks everybody. I used to be so sad when I put away the Christmas decor, so now I save the snowmen and put them out for winter deocr after the holidays. I use the snowflakes and icicles elsewhere for Chrismtas decor. It has helped me to have some decor out after Christmas. The house just felt so bare and drab once it was all put away, so to have something out helps me transition. I think I suffer from S*A*D as I am such a summer person and am always a bit down when summer ends, and I don't like cold and dark. I do, however, enjoy sitting by a cozy fire with a cup of cocoa or tea, LOL Thanks again, Candy PS, sorry about the other winter mantel post, I was having internet issues the other night!This message has been edited.

Japan: MSF Supports Construction and Rehabilitation of Temporary ClinicsJune 13, 2011Japan 2011 © Yozo Kawabe/MSF Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has begun to support the construction of two temporary clinics in the northeast of Japan, where the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami completely destroyed existing primary healthcare facilities. MSF has been in the northeast area since the March 11 disaster. While the government's recovery efforts continue, it will be several years before permanent medical facilities are rebuilt. The temporary clinics are expected to be used for three to five years, or until permanent facilities are ready. Japan 2011 © Giulio Di Sturco/VII mentor
In Minami Sanriku, Miyagi prefecture, MSF will assist with the design, construction, and equipment of a primary-level clinic that will serve the local population of 23,000. In the town of Taro in Iwate prefecture, north of Minami Sanriku, MSF will assist in the refurbishment and equipping of a similar clinic located in a hotel. Raising Awareness
Staff psychologists continue to engage in a range of outreach activities in the tsunami-affected region, including distributing leaflets and providing information via a community radio station set up by evacuees. MSF has worked in Japan since 2004. Tags: Japan, Mental Health, Natural Disaster |

- My ashley imperial woodstove has a automatic damper, do I need one in the chimney as well ?
- I believe you are referring to the automatic draft control which is like a thermostat; allowing air into the combustion chamber to regulate the fire. This is different from a chimney damper. I always use a chimney damper on my wood stove as it helps keep the heat in the stove longer resulting in a slower burn and more heat.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
