- Seven Things You Need to Know
First released in October 2009, Piranha Bytes' RPG Risen was met with a fairly warm reception on PC. It told the tale of a nameless hero washed ashore on the island of Faranga, where ancient ruins were inexplicably rising from the ground. To stop people from wandering around in them and getting flattened and/or eaten, a sect of mages known as the Inquisition had established an outpost on Faranga, preventing anyone from leaving. All manner of beasties roamed the island, and the storyline involved classic fantasy staples such as questing for five mystical Disks and battling against gigantic Titans to decide the fate of humanity.
Boasting a fairly large world with several factions to join, including the militaristic Inquisition, a group of bandits led by Don Esteban (voiced by a pleasingly-hammy John Rhys Davis) or the mages who once ruled Faranga before the Inquisition turned up, and dozens of sidequests and hidden dungeons to explore and die in, Risen had all the ingredients of a classic.
However, the PC to console port was less popular, with some bestowing scores as low as 4/10. Problems with an adapted control system, lack of an easy-to-access quest map and a sweary, overly-cheesy script led to Risen's downfall – and yet, the brand itself remained popular enough to warrant a sequel. And Piranha Bytes have been gracious enough, and smart enough, to listen to player feedback and make changes accordingly. As a result, Risen 2: Dark Waters (our New Game of the Day back in November) is beginning to look much more inviting than its predecessor. With the PC version heading for shelves on April 27th and the console editions a month later, here are the seven things you really need to know about Risen 2: Dark Waters
1. The story continues…
Risen 2 follows the events of the first game, and features returning characters
The hero returns... Only this time he's a drunken, voodoo-practicing thief
The nameless hero in Risen 2 is the same guy who decided the fate of the world in the first game. It's several years later, and he's now a destitute drunk who wears an eye-patch to cover up the tell-tale Inquisition monocle acquired at the end of Risen. He's tougher, but apparently no wiser, and gets drawn into a new conflict in the port of Caldera where he answers the plea of old friend Patty to help find her lost father. The difference between this game and the last is that you won't be opting to join any of the original three factions, and will instead settle into a new career as a salty seadog, regardless of whether you follow a physical or magical path of progression.
The nameless hero's return at least lends a sense of continuity to events, but we wouldn't expect any Mass Effect-style connections between games. Rather, the continuation of Risen's story simply ensures a greater sense of scale and involvement in the world – particularly for players who dabbled in the first game. Although not affected by the player's actions in particularly meaningful ways, several characters – including the aforementioned Patty – will return.
2. Avast, ye land-lubbers!
Risen 2: Dark Water swaps a cardboard fantasy world for vibrant tropical islands. And pirates!
Scurvy swabs and scum-sucking molluscs abound thanks to Dark Waters' pirate-y theme
Yes, it's true. Risen 2 features pirates. The first game was a middle-of-the-road fantasy RPG set in a world that seemed to occupy the dull grey area between Gothic 4 and Two Worlds, and as such failed to capture the imagination of many gamers. Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver are looking to address that issue by transporting the feel of their world into a whole new universe – one filled with sneaky pirates, giant sea monsters and powerful galleons.
Project Director Bjorn Pankratz told gamebanshee.com that, "This time, the player will become a pirate and learn a pirate's skills," and "their (the player's) ship can moor at all islands and the mainland, as long as the player has visited them before."
Just from the screens you can see the difference between this game and the last. Gone are the drab hills and random identi-peasant monster fodder we became used to, swapped out for characters who have real personality and beautiful, sweeping Caribbean vistas complete with sparkling waterfalls, golden beaches and crisp white surf. And it's all yours to explore and pillage. Well, we're not sure how much pillaging there'll be, but as long as it's as gorgeous as the screenshots suggest, we'll settle for a minor pillaging element.
Also, pirate games are few and far between, and pirate-based RPGs are even rarer. We can't wait to take control of our own ship and crew – there's even the option to acquire a pet monkey, just like Captain Barbosa. Huzzah!
3. You're off the edge of the map
The game-world is huge
The world is that much more detailed and, while it might not rival Skyrim or Amalur in size, it's certainly looking beautiful
Of course, the option to resort to piracy and own your own ship would be pointless if the world was too small to make use of it. Thankfully, Risen 2's world is massive, featuring several islands in addition to the mainland – all of which are open to the player to explore as they choose once they've got their ship.
According to Pankratz: "The world will be open, as usual, and as a rule it will be possible to return to places you have already visited later in order to trade, learn, or complete quests. In Risen 2, the world opens up more and more - while the player can only explore one island to begin with, once he/she has a ship, any location can be reached."
Quite how varied the locales will be remains to be seen. There's obviously a concern that having the game set across a network of similar islands will hamstring the variety, but we're likely to see more than a handful of unique dungeons, caves, fortresses and towns, as well as a day/night cycle and, at the very least, a mix of sandy shores, dense jungles and rocky foothills. There might even be a pebbly beach or two to test the soles of our hero's feet.
Several screenshots also show animals fighting one another, oblivious to the hero's presence. The thought of an ecology on the islands is an exciting one, and hints at an unexpected level of depth. The idea of an open-world adventure mixing the exploration and action of a standard RPG with pirate ships and cackling monkeys appeals to us. We like pirates. Did we say?
4. A brave new world
Risen 2's world has advanced
Risen 2 has pirates, and pirates mean guns, grog and galleons
Taking a cue from Lionhead's Fable series, Risen 2: Dark Waters presents a more forward-thinking world. In the space of time between the two games, the world has acquired flintlock rifles and pistols – replacing bows and arrows and giving everything just a hint of originality. Their inclusion is almost a no-brainer in a pirate-themed game, but more than that they present the player with new options in combat – as well as more to think about from a tactical standpoint.
As Bjorn Pankratz explained to GameBanshee: "Two-handed firearms work a lot like a crossbow. Unlike arrows, they have a direct line of fire, and they are indeed very strong in a fight. However, they can be unwieldy in melee combat, and as voodoo and melee weapons are also powerful and there can be different options depending on the situation, the weapons are quite well-balanced."
Picking the wrong weapon for the job could result in some rather inconvenient perforation – but it looks like you'll be able to mix and match fighting techniques to suit your preferred play style. Also the hero has some nifty little manoeuvres up his sleeves referred to as "dirty tricks" – such as chucking a handful of sand in your opponent's face. If these abilities are dynamic and varied enough, we could be looking at a fresh, exciting combat system.
5. That Voodoo that you do-do
The magic system is unique, and the skills have been overhauled
This is Bones, the most recently-revealed character. He was a doctor once, but now he's mental. Will he turn out to be a valuable member of the hero's crew?
Not content with throwing in guns and dirty fighting, Piranha Bytes have also altered the way magic works in Risen 2 by introducing Voodoo. Perhaps an obvious choice given the Caribbean-inspired setting, Voodoo as a magic system hasn't been done in many games (we struggle to think of any Action RPGs that have utilised it). If you choose to follow this path, the hero will be able to learn the art of Voodoo, creating dolls to channel magical attacks against his enemies.
On a similar note, the skill-set has been completely reconsidered. "We've made some big changes and additions to the skill system this time," says Pankratz. "For example, players can now visit instructors to learn a lot of different perks linked to their skills. Aside from the thieving talents, there will also be other non-combat abilities, like monkey trainer, silver-tongue, or intimidate, and the latter skills will be available as dialog options once the player has learned that particular talent."
Between the Voodoo system, dirty tricks and malleable skill tree, Risen 2: Dark Waters could turn out to be far deeper than you'd expect coming away from the first game. In most modern RPGs, customisation and free-form development is key, and it's good to see Piranha Bytes paying attention to the status quo and taking risks with their universe.
6. Get crewed up
You can recruit companions
Ah, the "boys". Getting all tanked-up on island grog before a spot of burning and pillaging. Bless 'em.
As you gather a crew to man your ship, you'll also be recruiting men and women of certain talents, from healers to foragers to fighters. On particular missions, you'll be able to select one to accompany you, and even assign them tasks based on their skills.
You might choose to take a fighter with you for extra protection, or hook up with a healer to bandage you up when a coconut falls on your head or a fifteen foot tall rock monster starts batting you around like a cat with a mouse. Or, if you're of a certain bent, you might just sit on your arse and send some lacky off to gather resources for you.
The world is your oyster, and the crew are your minions. Use them well.
7. Anything you can do
Dark Waters has been jointly developed on PC and consoles
A rather monstrous take on the already fugly "hairy angler fish". Try not to let them eat you too much.
Risen fell down in many areas when Piranha Bytes ported it to consoles. Technical issues resulting from the graphical transfer were minor compared to problems with a hideous and unintuitive control system, a useless map that was time-consuming and fiddly to open and read, and a general lack of accessibility.
To combat this, Risen 2 has been developed on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 at the same time. Not only did this lead Piranha Bytes to set themselves a more realistic deadline for completion (thus allowing more time to perfect control schemes and monkey physics), it also meant that they could apply what they learned from porting the first game. They won't be trying to shoehorn a keyboard-full of commands and hotkeys into a simple control pad; the mechanics have been built with consoles in mind right from the beginning – and considering that porting problems constituted well over 80% of Risen's shortcomings, Risen 2: Dark Waters could be potentially very, very intriguing.
For now, though, we can only wait for Piranha Bytes to bring us that horizon. Drink up, me hearties, yo ho …
Risen 2: Dark Waters is due for release on PC on April 27th, and Xbox 360 and PS3 on May 25th. For more information visit the website or check out the Facebook page. In the meantime, here's a shiny brand new trailer to get your teeth into...

Cellar/Tasting Notes The Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc is a rich and structured wine. It is elegant and fresh, giving off fruity aromas as well as lemon-scents and subtle hints of wood.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great Value! The 2009 Mersault has aromas of exotic fruits and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, the aromas are enhanced by notes of honey. It is a powerful wine with very nice length. Always a favorite at Morrell for its quality/price ratio.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Sexy nose combines white flowers, spices and musky lees. Fat, plush and sweet, with a firm mineral edge giving the mid-palate a more chiseled quality than the Chassagne villages. The citrus and dusty stone finish conveys an impression of grip and firmness."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A very fresh, pure and expressive nose of straw, citrus and white orchard fruit merges into detailed and energetic middle weight flavors. Very dry and crisp, it delivers good length and energy.
Cellar/Tasting Notes From one of two Montrachet villages responsible for producing some of the greatest dry whites in the world, this Puligny is both a good value and a fine wine. Exhibits delicate vanilla and oak and nut aromas. It is ample and fat in the mouth with good acidity and plenty of spice and oak flavors.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2010 Les Benoites presents with a golden yellow color with a glittering tint. The aromatic bouquet is that of vanilla scents and creme fraiche. On the palate, the wine is round and opulent with a great crisp end.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Round and supple, with excellent cut. The apple, peach and lemon flavors start out matched to a rich texture, dovetailing to a point as the finish stretches out.."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Winemaker's Notes: "A refined wine, well appreciated in the whole world. A beautiful golden colour and a great aromatic palette: honey, linden flower ("tilleul"), hazelnut butter, sometimes even chamomile or hawthorn. On the palate, a silky roundness. Long on the aftertaste, with flavours of yellow..

Two were passed in town stores Friday, Nov. 30. "The bills looked pretty good," Williams said. "They passed the merchant's pen test." The bills, however, do have a flaw -- both belonged to the 1985 series and had identical serial numbers. Williams recommends posting the numbers on cash registers. Look for B02609463B. Williams added that in the past his department kept local merchants informed about just this kind of situation through notification email and fax lists. He is reinstating that program. Merchants who want to be on the notification list should contact the Lake Placid police department. The telephone number is 699-3757. The e-mail address is email@example.com/. The police department switchboard and office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every week day, except for holidays. Should a business discover they've received a counterfeit bill after hours call the Lake Placid number. The call will be routed to the Sheriff's central dispatch, but the dispatcher will contact the Lake Placid police, who will respond to the call. The case is currently under investigation. The police ask anyone with information to call 699-3757. Small Banner Ads |

Homeschool parents have quite a bit of freedom when it comes to creating a transcript. However, there are certain information you need to include but one thing I always recommend not including on a homeschool transcript. There is also great freedom in combining the many homeschool experiences into classes to put on the transcript.
The first thing your transcript needs is a title. Some families get creative with naming their homeschool and like to use that name on the transcript. However, you do not even have to use the word homeschool unless you want to. A transcript also needs to include the student's name and some sort of identification of the student.
I do not recommend that you put the student's social security number on their transcript. I think it's too easy to lose all these little pieces of paper. Besides, colleges don't need your social security number until after you have been admitted. There are some homeschoolers who will include social security number but I don't recommend it.
You will want to put all of the educational experience in the middle of the document. This is also where you can put the final grade that you gave them. Most transcripts also include a grading scale as well as a credit level. Putting the year the class was completed will help the college to know what high school year the particular class was taken.
When you are not using a curriculum it can get difficult to know how to record classes. For some classes it is best to record the number of hours of the class. For example, if it was a theater performance then you know that you have a whole credit because you added up an enormous amount of hours. But if it was something like dance, you might write down only 40 hours of swing dancing and then you can add it to the hours for other types of dancing to complete that credit.
My suggestion is to use sticky notes as an organizing tool. List each class and the number of hours then brainstorm the different subject areas that class might be in. What that means is if they had 40 hours of swing dancing the subject area might be fine arts; you could call it dance but you could also call it PE because anything that breaks a sweat can count as PE. That is where you do all that brainstorming.
If you do that with all of your delight directed learning, then you will be able to combine them into different classes. If they spent 40 hours in taking first aid in a CPR class, then 40 hours riding their bike, and then 40 hours swimming, look at those three sticky notes and figure out what they have in common. In this example you could combine them all into a PE class.

Shot power should be above shot technique, still mastering his shooting at this time it shouldnt be this close to his present day ST. he would blast balls wide from rather easy positions under pressure at times, id probably say 82 at the most. Shot power should be around Nani's range of 85-87.
I wouldn't give him such a high Attack value at that point in his career either, a very high 70 would be better suited.
I agree with Tom he didn't deserve that high attack around that time id give him a slightly higher value than Nani at 78
he's also been fast (doesn't seem to be any reason why he's so much slower than his current self)

My point was that when I look at your post (when he was 18-19 years old) and Classical's post (when he was 17-18 years old), it seemed that his Response got worse as he was older (and I don't think that was the case). I think either his Response stay on the same level, or it got better as he was older (I personally think it got a bit better as he was older). It makes no sense to get worse as he was older. I hope this explanation is precise enough.

Tom Stoppard Movies
Though his primary profession is as a renowned playwright, the versatile and prolific Tom Stoppard has also carved out a distinguished secondary career as a screenwriter.
Born in Czechoslovakia, Tom Straussler and his family moved to Singapore in 1939 and then to India in 1941 to escape World War II's Axis powers. After his father was killed in Singapore, his mother married a British officer, and the renamed Stoppard family moved to England in 1946. Stoppard began his writing career at age 17, and worked as a journalist from 1954 to 1960. During the early '60s, Stoppard shifted to drama criticism and then fiction plays for TV, radio, and the stage. His 1966 play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead turned Stoppard into a theater sensation when it opened in London in 1967. Complex, philosophical, and hilarious, Stoppard's retelling of Hamlet from the point of view of two minor characters wittily upended the Shakespeare text with a strong dose of Samuel Beckett-style existentialism.
In the subsequent decades, Stoppard wrote numerous plays remarkable for their wordplay, intelligence, humor, and erudition, whether he was dealing with absurdist farce (Travesties [1974]), modern love (The Real Thing [1982]), international politics (Every Good Boy Deserves Favor [1977]), or sex and science (Arcadia [1993]). Along with his original plays, Stoppard also translated a number of theatrical works by other European writers, including Vaclav Havel and Arthur Schnitzler. Though he once described his screenplays as more craft than art, Stoppard's literate film adaptations of various works by major authors have matched him with some of the most esteemed directors in international cinema, beginning with Joseph Losey's The Romantic Englishwoman in 1975.
Displaying his protean talents, Stoppard adapted Vladimir Nabokov for Rainer Werner Fassbinder's English language black comedy Despair (1978), Graham Greene's spy novel The Human Factor (1979) for Otto Preminger, J.G. Ballard's World War II story Empire of the Sun (1987) for Steven Spielberg, and E.L. Doctorow's gangster saga Billy Bathgate for Robert Benton. Making a foray into the art of original screenplays, Stoppard's collaboration on Terry Gilliam's outrageous, darkly comic science fiction-fantasy Brazil (1985) earned the Tony Award-winning playwright his first Oscar nomination for screenwriting. Stoppard notched another "first" when he agreed to step behind the camera as director in order to secure financing for the 1990 film adaptation of his own Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Featuring rising British actors Gary Oldman and Tim Roth in the title roles, Rosencrantz earned Stoppard the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Humorous reinterpretations of Shakespeare (as well as original screenplays) proved to be auspicious for Stoppard once again, when the costume comedy Shakespeare In Love (1998), about a blocked Will Shakespeare and his Juliet-esque inspiration, earned Stoppard and Marc Norman the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. Stoppard has been married twice and has four children. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Poodle Springs
For this TV movie, Bob Rafelson directed James Caan as famous shamus Philip Marlowe. The novel Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) was writing during the year of his death remained unfinished until it was completed 30 years later by Spenser author Robert Parker. The British-based, Czech-born screenwriter/playwright Tom Stoppard scripted this telefilm adaptation. In 1963, the middle-aged Marlowe has put on a few pounds and gained a new wife, wealthy heiress Laura (Dina Meyer). In Poodle Springs, California, on the Nevada border, the couple lives in a house given them by P.J. Parker (Joe Don Baker), Laura's father. Framed for murder, Marlowe is bailed out by Laura, and he's soon hired to locate a gambler who owes $100,000. Investigating lowlife photographer Larry Victor (David Keith), Marlowe learns of a blackmail plot involving stripper Lola (La Joy Farr); he follows a trail that leads to a land scheme, while corpses begin to litter the landscape. This was James Caan's first TV role since Brian's Song (1971, later released theatrically), and the whodunit premiered July 25, 1998 on HBO. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Having made as many films as he had years, at 31, Rainer Werner Fassbinder essayed a slightly different approach for his 32nd film, Despair. Here, he uses a witty screenplay written by the well-known playwright Tom Stoppard, based on a novel by Vladimir Nabokov. Furthermore, the entire film, set in 1930s Germany, is in English. It received mixed reviews, if only because it is so unlike the director's other works. In the story, a Russian owner of a German chocolate-factory, whose business and marriage are both on the rocks, fantasizes about leaving his current life, and living another one. Indeed, he has delusions that he is somehow outside himself, watching himself live his life. So strong is his desire to alter his life that when he encounters a tramp while on a brief business trip, he imagines that the man looks exactly like him, decides to exchange identities with the tramp, and murders him. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Three Men in a Boat
Made for British television, the 1975 Three Men in a Boat is the latest filmization of the timeworn Jerome K. Jerome comic novel. The plot remains the same: a trio of Englishmen take a boat excursion along the Thames during a two-week holiday. The trio experiences several amusing misadventures especially when they meet three lovely female landlubbers. Starring in this 64-minute adaptation are Tim Curry (as Jerome K. Jerome), Michael Palin and Steven Moore. Additional (and often very esoteric) dialogue has been added by adaptor Tom Stoppard, of Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead fame. Previous versions of Three Men in a Boat were produced in 1933 and (most memorably) 1958. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Knightley stars as the title character, a Russian woman who cheats on her respected husband (Jude Law) with a young soldier (Aaron Johnson) and suffers greatly for her betrayal. Wright sets the action in a theater, often segueing from scene to scene by utilizing different spaces within the same set. Anna Karenina screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The true story of a major breakthrough in intelligence technology created during World War II provides the backdrop for this blend of mystery, romance, and espionage, based on the novel by Robert Harris. Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott) is a gifted mathematician who is working with the British government on the development and maintenance of the Enigma machine, an electronic device that allows Allied intelligence agents to decode scrambled messages sent by Germany military officers. But the emotionally fragile Jericho is buckling under both the pressure of his work and the collapse of his relationship with Claire Romilly (Saffron Burrows), a co-worker with whom he's fallen deeply in love. After suffering a minor breakdown, Jericho is sent on a leave of absence, but when he returns to work, a crisis awaits: it seems the Germans have instituted a new code that the Enigma is not yet able to crack, and Jericho is needed to help unravel Axis communiqués before an important convoy of troops and materiel sets sail. It is also suspected that a German undercover agent has infiltrated the Enigma project, and Wigram (Jeremy Northam) is determined to ferret them out. In the midst of all this, Jericho receives troubling news that Claire has gone missing -- and that a file of German messages waiting to be decoded was found at her home. As Jericho works against the clock to crack the new German code, he forms an initially uneasy alliance with Hester Wallace (Kate Winslet), Claire's roommate and a fellow member of the Enigma project, as they try to discover Claire's whereabouts. Enigma was co-produced by Mick Jagger, who has a keen interest in the history of the real-life Enigma project, and even owns one of the original Enigma decoding machines. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) is on a cold streak. Not only is he writing for Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey Rush), owner of "The Rose," a theatre whose doors are about to be closed by sadistic creditors, but he's got a nasty case of writer's block. Shakespeare hasn't written a hit in years. In fact, he hasn't written much of anything recently. Thus, the Bard finds himself in quite a bind when Henslowe, desperate to stave off another round of hot-coals-to-feet application, stakes The Rose's solvency on Shakespeare's new comedy, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter." The problem is, "Romeo" is safely "locked away" in Shakespeare's head, which is to say that not a word of it is written. Meanwhile, the lovely Lady Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow) is an ardent theatre-goer -- scandalous for a woman of her breeding -- who especially admires Shakespeare's plays and, not incidentally, Bill himself. Alas, she's about to be sold as property into a loveless marriage by her mercenary father and shipped off to a Virginia tobacco plantation. But not before dressing up as a young man and winning the part of Romeo in the embryonic play. Shakespeare soon discovers the deception and goes along with it, using the blossoming love affair to ignite his muse. As William and Viola's romance grows in intensity and spirals towards its inevitable culmination, so, too, does the farcical comedy about Romeo and pirates transform into the timeless tragedy that is Romeo and Juliet. ~ Merle Bertrand, Rovi

In this film version of E. L. Doctorow's Billy Bathgate, Loren Dean plays the title character, a street-smart kid who inveigles his way into the confidence of 1930s gangster Dutch Schultz (Dustin Hoffman). Billy is ordered to look after Schultz' new moll, Drew Preston (Nicole Kidman), while Dutch fends off tax evasion charges and such up-and-coming rivals as Lucky Luciano (Stanley Tucci). Even though they know they're playing with dynamite, Billy and Drew fall in love. In attempting to escape Schultz' wrath, Billy succeeds only in putting himself in the thick of a gun battle between his boss and Luciano. When "Charley Lucky" emerges triumphant, Billy is forced once again to rely on his wits to escape being sent to the bottom of the briny in a cement overcoat. Bruce Willis shows up in an extended cameo as Dutch Schultz' former business associate. Billy Bathgate was adapted for the screen by British playwright Tom Stoppard. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Barley" Scott Blair (Sean Connery) is an alcoholic book editor from a bargain-basement publishing house in Great Britain who'd rather be drinking in Lisbon than attending a book dealers' show in Russia. So he's surprised when a CIA agent (Mac McDonald) pulls him from his boozy holiday. It seems that the CIA has through a book show intermediary received a package from a Russian book editor named Katya (Michelle Pfeiffer) containing amazingly detailed notebooks written by a cynical Russian physicist named "Dante" (Klaus-Maria Brandauer). The notebooks show that Russia's nuclear threat is a joke: Russian rockets "suck instead of blow...and can't hit Nevada on a clear day," in the acerbic words of CIA Agent Russell Sheridan (Roy Scheider). But why is Dante sending the notebooks to Blair? How shall the Western world respond to what could be the end of the nuclear arms race? Blair gets drafted by a British Secret Service agent (James Fox) to go to the new Russia to meet Katya. He must see whether the new Russia is still immersed in the old Cold War and whether the notebooks are genuine or another deadly chapter in the war of the spies. ~ Nick Sambides, Jr., Rovi

Add Brazil to Queue
Add Brazil to top of Queue
Brazil constitutes Terry Gilliam's enormously ambitious follow-up to his 1981 Time Bandits. It also represents the second installment in a trilogy of Gilliam films on imagination versus reality, that began with Bandits and ended in 1989 with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. To create this wild, visually audacious satire, Gilliam combines dystopian elements from Orwell, Huxley and Kafka (plus a central character who mirrors Walter Mitty) with his own trademark, Monty Python-esque, jet black British humor and his gift for extraordinary visual invention. The results are thoroughly unprecedented in the cinema.
Jonathan Pryce stars as Sam Lowry, a civil servant who chooses to blind himself to the decaying, drone-like world around him. It's a world marred by oppressive automatization and towering bureaucracy, and populated by tyrannical guards who strongarm lawbreakers. And Lowry is stuck in the middle of this nightmare. Whenever real life becomes too oppressive, Sam fantasizes (to the tune of Ary Baroso's 1930s hit "Brazil") about sailing through the clouds as a winged superhero, and rescuing beautiful Jill Layton (Kim Greist) from a giant, Samurai warrior. The omnipresent computer that controls everything in the "real" world malfunctions, causing an innocent citizen to be arrested and tortured to death. When Sam routinely investigates the error, he meets - and pursues Jill , literally the girl of his dreams. But in real life, she's a tough-as-nails truck driver who initially wants nothing to do with him. It turns out that she is suspected of underground activities, in connection with a terrorist network wanted for bombing public places. The price Sam pays for his association with her is a close encounter with the man in charge of torturing troublesome citizens (Michael Palin). He is rescued - at the last minute - by maintenance man Harry Tuttle (Robert de Niro) who moonlights as a terrorist, but that only represents the beginning of his plight, for now the "system" is onto him.
Gilliam ran into enormous problems with Brazil. Universal - which produced the picture - originally slated it for release in 1984, but the studio - intimidated by the film's whopping length of 142 minutes - demanded that Gilliam trim the film to bring it in under two hours and alter the pessimistic ending. Gilliam refused; Universal shelved the picture for a year. In response, the director took out a full page ad in Variety asking studio president Sid Sheinberg when the film would be released. Sensing tremendous pressure, Universal bowed to Gilliam's insistence on fewer cuts but still demanded a happy ending. Gilliam trimmed only eleven minutes and altered the conclusion just slightly (instead of cutting to black, it fades into puffy white clouds on a blue sky, with a reprise of the title tune). It was thus released in early 1985 at 131 minutes, and of course became a seminal work; many critics regarded it at the time as the best film of the eighties. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The Human Factor
This routine espionage drama is based on a novel by Graham Greene about a low-level British informant who is caught in a trap. Castle (Nicol Williamson) has a desk job in British intelligence. Around him are heavyweights like Col. Daintry (Richard Attenborough), Sir John Hargreaves (Richard Vernon), and Percival (Robert Morley) who will cold-bloodedly stop at nothing to do their jobs as they see fit. And Castle certainly is a nobody compared to them. One day when a friend of his in Africa needs some help, Castle is conned into supplying the Eastern block countries with info on demand. No one suspects him because of his low position, but when his office partner is hauled off, Castle begins to rethink his situation. This was director Otto Preminger's last film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The Romantic Englishwoman
Tom Stoppard and Thomas Wiseman's intricate script for The Romantic Englishwoman credibly explores the notion that a writer can manipulate the people in his life as deftly as he can manipulate the characters in his imagination. The title character Elizabeth, played by Glenda Jackson, is the wife of Lewis (Michael Caine), a novelist. At this point in his life, Lewis thinks in nothing but literary terms: Elizabeth is vacationing in Europe alone, ergo she must be having an affair. Half out of frustration, she confirms her husband's suspicions by romancing German drug dealer Thomas (Helmut Berger). Things get even dicier when Lewis invites Thomas into his home, requesting his technical advice on a screenplay he is working on. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hoping to buoy his fortunes and his reputation, du Conde wants to win command of the French Army in an anticipated conflict with Holland. When du Conde receives word from the Marquis de Lauzun (Tim Roth) that that King Louis XIV (Julian Sands) wishes to spend three days at his estate, du Conde is determined to pull out all the stops, and he asks Francois Vatel (Gerard Depardieu) to make the arrangements. Vatel is a master chef with a genius for arranging spectacular entertainments, and he is determined that this will be a weekend that the king will always remember. But that's before Vatel meets Anne de Montausier (Uma Thurman), a lovely courtesan traveling with the king's party. Anne is the king's new mistress, but that doesn't stop Vatel from falling in love with her, and he is determined to win her heart.

The Amazon rain forest is a living laboratory for Dr. Robert Campbell (Sean Connery), a reclusive research scientist living with a Brazilian native tribe. Campbell has accidentally discovered a flower extract that cures cancer, but has been unable to duplicate the formula. With the assistance of Dr. Crane (Lorraine Bracco), he explores every possible chemical derivative, but continues to fail. When a child in the village is near death from a tumor pressing against his trachea, Campbell and Crane stand against each other on the moral issue to use the last of the successful serum to save him or to keep it for further analysis. At the last moment, Crane reconsiders, and agrees to save the child. At the same time, commercial loggers begin to creep ever closer to the village, and government officials demand the tribe's relocation. With only yards remaining between the bulldozers and the tribe, Campbell discovers a vital clue to the elusive elixir he seeks. His attempt to stop the workmen results in violence and a raging forest fire which destroys his lab equipment and the natives' village. The story ends with Campbell, Crane, and the tribe pushing deeper into the jungle in search of new answers.
In a change of pace from his usual action film fare, the skilled work of director John McTiernan brings emotional depth to what would otherwise be just another pro-environmental propaganda film. Connery, who had starred in McTiernan's crowd-pleasing 1989 film The Hunt for Red October, gives a convincing performance as the determined and complex researcher haunted by mistakes of the past. Bracco's character adds the realistic humor of the city scientist adjusting to Spartan life in the trees, but she does so with both strength and dignity. The constant bickering of two equally obstinate scientists gives a mild "honeymooners in the jungle" quality. Filmed in the Mexican rain forest, the canopy is captured in breathtaking cinematography. ~ Lucinda Ramsey, Rovi

Much as he would later do with Shakespeare in Love (1998), writer Tom Stoppard delivered a tale of Shakespearean origin from a skewed and unexpected perspective. In this case, it's the perspective of two relatively minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz (Gary Oldman) and Guildenstern (Tim Roth), courtiers who, in the original play, were dispatched offstage before the narrative's conclusion. In Stoppard's script (which he also directed), the two supporting players take center stage as the events unfold in Elsinore Castle. Unable to determine the source of the prince's tortured despair, the duo ponders the question of fate as their predetermined roles are played out. Meanwhile, they dabble in a little verbal tennis and some ill-advised science experiments, and endure the puzzling attentions of mysterious wandering thespians led by (Richard Dreyfuss). Ordered to accompany Hamlet (Iain Glen) to England, the pair learn that the letter they carry instructs that nation's king to decapitate their mentally unbalanced and irksome charge, a revelation that Hamlet overhears. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Based on J.G. Ballard's autobiographical novel, Empire of the Sun stars Christian Bale as a spoiled young British boy, living with his wealthy family in pre-World War II Shanghai. During the Japanese invasion, Bale is separated from his parents. With the help of soldier-of-fortune John Malkovich, Bale learns to survive without a retinue of servants at his beck and call. By the time Malkovich and Bale are tossed into a Japanese prison camp, the boy has picked up enough street-smarts and developed enough intestinal fortitude to regard his imprisonment as an exciting adventure. The story ends during the 1945 liberation: on the verge of manhood, the 13-year-old Bale will never again be the pampered, privileged brat whom we met in the early scenes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tangier, Morocco Day Trip from Costa del Sol
Discover the magic of Morocco on a day trip to Tangier from Costa del Sol.
Discover the magic of Morocco on a day trip to Tangier from Costa del Sol.
Essaouira's wide, sandy beach is a great place for walking, but the strong winds and currents mean it's not so good for sunbathing or swimming. Footballers, windsurfers and kitesurfers take over the town end of the beach, while fiercely competitive horse and camel owners ply the sands further on.
On the left about 13km after the turn-off from the Ouarzazate road at Aït Ourir (about 2km before Tighdouine), you'll spot an eye-catching pink building with the sign of a bee. This initiative involves 120 Zat locals in labour-intensive production of a rare and truly exceptional dark, spicy honey from wild Berber medicinal plants that thrive in the Zat Valley.
Volunteers build schools, plant trees and supply basic medical care through this locally run NGO.
On the north side of the pass, you'll spot a reserve for mouflons, endangered long-horned Barbary sheep. As you approach the pass, you may suddenly break through fog into clear blue sky, and catch breathtaking airplane-window views over cloudbanks. On the south side of the pass, the van ominously embedded into the hillside is your cue for a pit stop at this cafe.
If you are a surfer, then the beachfront villa of Surf Maroc is the place to go. Run by a group of passionate British surfers, it offers a full-service surf camp for all levels, as well as yoga classes. What's more, the straightforward rooms provide an increasingly rare opportunity along this stretch of the coast to fall asleep listening to the waves break.
This creative maritime park is one of several versions developed by the brilliant artist and architect Cesar Manrique of the Canary Islands. The architect borrowed the city-walls theme to construct a huge pool deck on the sea, including a grand lagoon and two other saltwater pools, surrounded by 10 bars, pubs, restaurants and cafes. A central island holds a fortress casino .
Taroudannt is a great base for trekking in the western High Atlas region, including the secluded Tichka Plateau , a delightful area of highland meadows and hidden gorges. Agencies in town offer treks; insist on travelling only with a qualified guide.
Here's your opportunity look down on Fez from afar while dining. Your vehicle whisks you out of the city to the slopes of Mt Zalagh, which offers views over rolling countryside, olive groves and the city itself. Meanwhile, your hosts spread out the carpets and prepare your three-course dinner – best served at sunset for a truly fabulous dining experience.
Experience the magic of Morocco on a day trip to Tangier from Malaga.
You can tour the ramparts in a calèche. The horse-drawn carriages gather just inside Bab el-Kasbah, on Place al-Alaouyine and at other prominent spots. A one-way trip across town should cost Dh7, the same as a petit taxi, but you may have trouble persuading the driver beneath Dh15.
Oualidia is famous for its oyster beds, which produce about 200 tonnes of oysters annually. You can visit oyster farm No 7 at Maison de l'Ostréa II to see how it all works. Oysters (per dozen Dh180) and other seafood are available at the excellent restaurant attached. If you can't tear yourself away, there are double rooms for Dh700.
Follow ancient Berber Trails across the Atlas Mountains on a day trip from Marrakech into the Moroccan past. From the valleys to the mountain summits, you will discover the faces, smiles and traditional lifestyle of Morocco, away from the busy cities. The Moroccan landscape is not only majestic, it dictates the lives of the men and women who live in this region.

CBS Starts Coverage Of National Championship Game With Wrong Camera Angle
Jim Nantz started the game as he'll likely finish it: with a pun of some sort. It's time to settle the madness. CBS also started the end to this madness with the wrong camera angle at the beginning of the game, leaving the center court logo upside down to viewers. Not exactly synonymous, but reminds me of Rick Vaughn's attempt to shoot a Right Guard commercial. We'll check back in after the game with an inevitable Jim Nantz post.

The Collinsville Police Department is looking for a 28-year-old Cahokia man in connection with a shooting that occurred during a domestic dispute Sunday morning at an apartment complex on Bellevue Drive.
Maj. Tom Coppotelli said investigators are still trying to determine what transpired at the scene and need to question Colby M. Adams.
Collinsville police responded to a 911 call Sunday morning about a male subject attempting to kick in a door at 55 Bellevue Apt. 3. When officers arrived, the female resident told the officers she had been involved in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend in Brooklyn earlier that same day, according to Coppotelli.
He later came back to their apartment in Collinsville and found the female there with her ex-boyfriend identified by police as Adams. An altercation occurred and the boyfriend left the area.
Coppotelli said police initially checked the area and found both male subjects had left.
Approximately an hour later, police received a call from an area hospital about a subject being treated for a bullet wound to his leg. The subject stated he had been shot in Collinsville.
Coppotelli said officers determined the subject was the boyfriend and had been shot at the apartment. Officers then responded back to the scene and began interviewing the female again.
During a search warrant, police recovered a firearm that was thought to have been used in the shooting along with other evidence.
Anyone with information of Adams whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Collinsville police at 344-2131. Adams has not been charged with a crime and is only wanted for questioning at this time.
Contact reporter Jamie Forsythe at 239-2562 or email@example.com.

Best Uses
Comments about Timbuk2 Swig Cycling Backpack:
I've used this pack for my 15 mile round trip commute year round and it has some definite pros and cons.
It does have a large internal volume and the laptop compartment, which is really just a nylon sleeve with a piece of foam on bottom, will accommadate a 17" laptop with ease. I don't even need to remove the battery. It will easily fit a computer, change of clothes and lunch.
Despite its raw internal volume, it suffers from a lack of pockets. There is no good place to keep a pump, tube, lights, keys, etc.. There is only one zippered pocket and it holds little more than a wallet. Quickly retrieving a rain coat is cumbersome due to the single large flap.
The bag is very waterproof but I have noticed one flaw. The pack pulls away from the top of your shoulders when you lean over your handlebars. When it rains the back can get wet this way. I wouldn't haul my computer too far in the rain due to this.
Furthermore, when the pack is full the straps must be tightened to an absurd length to feel stable. I bought two nylon straps from REI and made a sternum and waist strap to address this. It is much more manageable now.

Formerly "French Kitchen in America," this kitchen is located on the outskirts of an old French Canadian neighborhood in the Upper Great Lakes. The menu is eclectic and the topics are varied.
24 November 2007
Really, it's a ball whisk, a relatively new tool which features weighted, vibrating balls on stainless steel rods. This arrangement promises to provide good results with less effort. (I certainly support the notion of less effort.) So far, it has lived up to its promises. Restraint is key: Don't overdo it with this utensil.
It was during our pilgrimage to E. Dehillerin, that dusty commercial cathedral to the art of the kitchen, that I found my new weapon. Actually, it was Kim, the charming salesman who led me to it, after he found me a copper bowl for egg whites.
The ball whisk is excellent for whipping little clumps of flour into submission in any pan or bowl. The balls allow you to reach the insides of pans, the dark little places where the bottoms and sides meet, a feat that is difficult to perform with a wire whisk. To read more, click here.
(As Kim pointed out, the ball whisk can also be used as a scalp massage tool. It feels pretty good.)
When I packed our suitcases, I carefully wrapped the whisk in its original paper and attached the receipt from Dehillerin. Just in case someone rifling through my luggage thought it was a sex toy. You never know about these things.
The whisk got its first real workout when I made Bearnaise sauce for my Chateaubriand on Thanksgiving. It performed admirably.
You don't have to go to Paris to buy one, although I recommend it. You can buy a ball whisk from many online sources.

I have had Dehillerin on my places-to-go-before-I-die list for many years. So glad you were able to go there, and to bring home such wonderful tools. I'm green with envy.

This particular tool was a good investment,and it's the best whisk I have. So much easier to clean than a wire whisk, too, Lydia.

Oh goody! I've looked many times at the ball whisk and wondered. Now I have just one more reason to plan another trip to Paris! Excellent!

I remember reading about about E. Dehillerin on Chlotilde's blog and thinking it sounded utterly charming and was the sort of place I could happily while away many shopping hours. Lucky you to have been able to visit E. Dehillerin.

Julie, it was truly a fascinating experience, and I will try to get there again next fall.

Thread: Gloria?
May 10th, 2013 01:23 PM #11
Gloria is my mother's name and my daughter and I love it! She, on the other hand, thinks its old-fashioned which makes it perfect for today's moms.
I think it is one of those names ready for a revival but it will never reach the popularity levels that other old-fashioned names like Emma and Sophia have.
If you decide to use it, let me know. I would be tickled to know. By the way, our Gloria is know as Glo, Googie or GiGi. I am not crazy about Glory.
May 10th, 2013 04:03 PM #13
I didn't even think about the religious aspect of it. It's really just 'Glory' in Latin, though. Personally I'm not religious, but I was raised Catholic, so the association doesn't bother me.
Yeah, most of the Glorias I know are older. There's one in my family, but I've never actually met her, which is another reason I like it; it won't conflict with family members' names.I'm just trying to behave as I think a friend should behave. Granted, I haven't had much practice.

I grew up with a Gloria (cousin). She's in her late 20s now. It does feel rather dated, but dated is in right now. I know my love of Francine and Matilda can't really be explained. In my cousin's case, we called her Loli and Lola growing up. She now prefers her full name. Glory, Ori, Lori or even Glo would also be nice nicknames. I never realized all the nn potential in Gloria! What fun.

Reset - Weight Loss Shake Mix Overview
Reset - Weight Loss Shake from Nature's Way is just what a lot of dieters need - a quick and satisfying meal replacement shake that covers all the most important nutritional bases (including fiber). Reset is sweetened with stevia and formulated to keep blood sugar and nutrient levels low and stable, so that metabolism, fat-burning and energy production remain at robust levels around the clock. Reset shakes provide more protein than three whole eggs so they help support your hard work in the gym, too.
Reset - Weight Loss Shake Mix Description from NATURE'S WAY Weight gain is often caused by the body's response to eating higgh glycemic index foods (rich in simple carbohydrates or sugar). The result can be periods of intense hunger that lead to excessive calorie consumption. This is known as the "glycemic" cause of weight gain.Metabolic ReSet Weight Loss Shake MixAs part of a healthy diet and excercise plan, revolutionary Metabolic ReSet addresses both the glycemic and calorie causes of weight gain by safely reprogramming appetite to reduce hunger and cravings.
Manufacturer's Directions To make a satisfying shake, add 2 scoops (45g) of powder to 8 ounces of cold water. Shake or stir briskly into a smooth consistency. If desired, blend in fruit or other healthy ingredients. May also be mixed with skim, soy or other milk. Caution: If pregnant, nursing or under 18 years of age, consult a healthcare professional before beginning any weight loss program.
In this container you will only get about 10 two-scoop servings. And one serving is two scoops. So it's very expensive when you think about it. If you use it twice a day it'll cost you around $5-$6 (when you include shipping costs). The other very annoying thing is that the bottle it comes in is about twice as large as the amount of powder it holds. Instead of wasting all this plastic (in an effort to make us think we're getting more than we are), why don't they either make the bottle smaller or fill it up! Other than that it does a very good job of knocking off the hunger pangs. I always get hungry right before I go to bed and this is a great way to kill that without eating some fattening snacks. Very tasty and very filling. If it were more reasonably priced, and packaged more efficiently, I'd give it 5 stars.
I like this product alot. It has alot of vitamins and a good source of protein per serving. I used it 5-6 days a week in mornings after a workout for my breakfast. I only had the chocolate flavor and it taste good. I really dont have any other product to compare with. I mix blueberries and strawberries in which really made it taste better. I started around 220lbs and now i am down to around 195lbs in under 3 months. Which I also have been eating healthy and exercising regularly now so I am not saying just this product lost the weight by itself. The only thing is its over $22 a container now for only 14 servings so I am ordering a different product now which i havent began yet. I would recommend the product if you dont mind spending the extra money.
