I'm a big of fan this game. I love the options on how you kill people. the stealth was really great too. Its fun to wait till some fool goes near a hole or edge and push him off.
7.5 my ass. This game is one of the best I've ever played, much much better than Dishonored. Best Hitman ever. GameSpot was good, in the past... Nothing makes much sense here anymore. Really don't know why I still come to GameSpot at all...
This fool has played Hitman like Max Payne, Explaining about Shooting, Cover, Enemy AI etc. rather than the stealth aspect.....
Just bought this game for $20 and it feels like a steal. What a great game. 7.5 is too low for this game. I can never trust this guys reviews. Why do I always go to gamespot before any other website? It's like a bad drug lol.
Brilliant game with an intense atmosphere, great detailed graphics and tight controls. Also the story felt like a grindhouse B-movie, which is awesome.
I know some Hitman purists don't like it all that much but i didn't like the old Hitman games anyway so yeehaaa!!
I beat this game 2 times, now playing on the hardest setting and it is a BLAST. Feels a Tarantino inspired Hitman game. Much better than COD BO2 which got a higher score than this. The action and gameplay in this game is so intense and fluid. My only complaint is there are no loadoats or upgrades for guns like in previous games. I hope they add on a DLC for weapon load-outs in single player.
i just started playing this game and i'm doing it on the hardest difficulty setting so its a real challenge and sometimes cheap, but mass fun all together. \
This is a great game and another great example on how GS can't review a game if there life depended on it. This game is an easy 9
Never played ANY of the Hitman series. This looks like a good place to start. Have to check it out.
I thought this game was amazing. My only complaint is they took away load outs and weapon customization in the campaign. I am glad 47 woke up and turned on the scum Agency. People who complain about the police levels are idiots, i had so much fun sneaking around stabbing cops with a butcher knife, one by one like Michael Myers. This game deserves a high 8. Way better than Black ops 2 or max payne 3.
this game sucks bigg balls end they ruined all siries whit the shet detection bar end new shett they ad in im so sad i had more funn 1 milion times more fun playng blood money end contracts.YOU MUTHER FUCKERS RUINED THE GHAME ADING THE SHETT DETECTION!!!!
What an unforgettable experience, I love how the series is changing and growing--Hitman is just an amazing bald, cold-blooded assassin.
For everything I liked there was something that I hated . Story was pretty good and the levels with big open areas to kill targets in multiple different ways were fun , but the levels where you have to sneak round all the police/guards that are looking for you I hated , I also hated how throughout the story Agent 47 feels emotions, gets captured and gets knocked out , ruined the characters history for me. Not sure I like the new direction that the series is going
Why is this review not found on the other platform review pages? PC or PS3 don't list this video under review. Only shows "There are no reviews for the PC/PS3 platform. Please check back later!" while there is a review for the game. Same goes for many other titles
Does this moron realise the game isn't designed to be a shooter? It'd be nice to see an in depth review with criticisms actually relevant to the series
KEVIN, the part you mention as a forced gunfight, is not a forced gun fight at all...I took another route, where I loosened some gas valves that killed the enemy that way.This game is not that linear, there so many ways to beat a mission. Somebody fire these incompetent reviewers who are misrepresenting games. This game is an 8.5 at the lowest.
Can anyone tell me how to get the Exclusive Agency DLC Gun pack? I put in the code and downloaded the guns, and for some reason i can't use or find the guns in any of the levels? I got this rip-off edition for the stupid guns and I can't even get a hold of them!
I love how in the review he gives an example of a "forced gunfight" where you kill the guy who looks like bill from kill bill (can't remember his name) when you don't even have to kill him via that gun fight scene....It's really not THAT linear, just look around, there is plenty of stuff to miss
I would have given this game 8.0. Not bad but i suggest playing this game on higher difficulty level.
way too linear, its pretty and all but it misses the Hitman feeling that made blood contract so great. It felt more like a sneaky uncharted with a bald head then hitman to me. It IS a good game, but not a great one and not a great hitman game.
How did Black Ops 2 get an 8.5 and this a 7? the first few missions alone are more fun than the entire black ops 2 campaign.
A another disapointing review form VanOrd... all I can see, is that gamespot is loosing more and more trust from ppl and they all go to IGN... I use to love gamespot website and I am a member since 2007 but been checking them since 2003/2004. U guys gotta give the job to someone else then him for the review please or you will loose one more fan. And alsp... put back the today on the spot...
@Dredcrumb9 Took the words out of my mouth. Felt like a Tarantino film when I started playing. Great voice work from Powers Booth and Keith Carradine (Deadwood) and the rest.
@Trinitarian yeah... honestly the rating threw me off. I don't understand why it's not a 9 given other game ratings and the quality of this one.
@Dredcrumb9 Yes, I agree, the game is amazingly cinematic, but I can't compare it to Max Payne or Call of Duty, because those games are very different, but IMO Max Payne 3 is a more memorable and remarkable experience.
@jordan119 You hated those parts? HOW? the parts where cops and agency are hunting you down are so fun. i loved sneaking around stabbing cops and agency member with a knife, throwing knives in their heads from around the corner, poppin them with silences pistols, using stealth in this game rocks. Go play Crap ops 2 or modern borfare.
@jordan119 I have to agree to a large extent. The evading levels seemed tedious and offered far less freedom. in terms of the story, I'm interested on where they are taking it.
@Dredcrumb9 Relax, dude. Incompenent? Kevin is a good reviewer. So he missed one detail. Big deal. This game has such a large number of ways dealing of with each situation, and these guys have, at most, only a few days time to soak it all in and write a review/make a video review. Lets see you try his job, and see if you catch every detail in every game. Good luck.
I do agree that his rating of 7.5 is criminally low, though. Based on how he talks about it, it sounds like he would give it at least an 8.5 so I was surprised to see 7.5.
@thegroscon lol, moving from Gamespot to IGN is like quitting crack and starting meth. Neither sites are anywhere near credible.
@Dredcrumb9 @focuspuller I got my hands on it yesterday. Beautiful looking and great game play! Can't put it down.
Thanks for the recommend. Money well spent.
I'm wondering what games would compare to this.
@Dredcrumb9 @jordan119 Yeah they would have been good in a batman game , but the point of Hitman Is to be a ghost , someone who kills and has escaped the area before anyone even realises he was there. So when it comes to the missions where you have to infiltrate bases and sneak round guards it just seems stupid
@Dredcrumb9 @jordan119 to put it in a different way , I didn't like how the game had singular levels devoted to just sneaking round gaurds without killing any targets . I thought it was the most noticeable change from the past Hitman games and I hated it. I would rather of just had cutscenes showing 47 moving to his next location rather than actually play it and the developers spend more time creating levels with actual assassination targets to kill.
In the past games you where just thrown into different levels and you had a number of different targets to kill but in absolution these target levels are limited.
In my opinion when you take away the targets and have levels with just guards to sneak around without any assassination targets to kill the levels just end up pointless and dragged out.
@jordan119 @Dredcrumb9 "So when it comes to the missions where you have to infiltrate bases and sneak round guards it just seems stupid"< what do you mean? In all of the hitman games you sneak around and infiltrate places. You have the option to be a ghost in this game, I have done it numerous times. i don't think you even played this game.
@miker00lz what I mean is on the other games there where not levels were every guard on the level is searching every corner for you (apart from a singular level on contracts) because you could complete missions without anyone knowing.
So when I completed a mission with a silent assassin rating on absolution it made it really frustrating to then go through the next level having to avoid 30 guards. The point of hitman is that your a ghost and that they are not supposed to know you were ever there so it makes no sense that there would be 80 police patrols/gaurds just randomly searching for you.
Also I was under the impression that agent 47 was genetically made to not be able to feel emotions (I could be wrong) so it just seemed like such a radical character change that he would suddenly care about Diana or anyone for that matter.
It is still a class game though without a doubt , but as fan I just think whilst the gameplay has improved some of the other stuff has taken a step back
@jordan119 Huh?? Infiltrating areas and getting past guards by sneaking around them or finding a suitable disguise is EXACTLY what you do in all of the older Hitman games. What are you talking about man? That argument makes no sense.
I agree though, that Agent 47 showing emotions in some parts is kind of weird. He doesn't show much of it though, and the thing that triggers it is Victoria and the doctors. The same kind of doctors that 47 had to deal with himself when he was younger, so that makes it a little more believable. He hated them, and if anything could get him to show emotion that would probably be it.
In any case, emotion or not, the gameplay is generally awesome and fun so whatever. It just strings the story along a bit. Still a good game.

TRAVERSE CITY -- A family's house in Traverse City is severely damaged after a fire ripped through it Saturday afternoon.
Traverse City Fire Department crews say the fire started at around 12:20pm Saturday afternoon at a home on corner of West 15th and South Maple. Fire crews were able to get the blaze under control within an hour and say it appears it started in the utility area of the house.
The home belongs to a family of four and fortunately no one was home at the time of the fire. However three of the family's pets did not survive.The majority of the damage was inside the house, we're told the walls and ceilings suffered severe smoke, water and fire damage.
Crews are still trying to determine a cause.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is a professional body for architects primarily in the United Kingdom, but also internationally, founded for the advancement of architecture under its charter granted in 1837 and Supplemental Charter granted in 1971.
Originally named the Institute of British Architects in London, it was formed in 1834 by several prominent architects, including Philip Hardwick, Thomas Allom, William Donthorne, Thomas Leverton Donaldson, John Buonarotti Papworth, and Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey.[1]
After the grant of the royal charter it had become known as the Royal Institute of British Architects in London, eventually dropping the reference to London in 1892. In 1934, it moved to its current headquarters on Portland Place, with the building being opened by King George V and Queen Mary.
Royal charter[edit]
It was granted its Royal Charter in 1837 under King William IV. Supplemental Charters of 1887, 1909 and 1925 were replaced by a single Charter in 1971, and there have been minor amendments since then.
The original Charter of 1837 set out the purpose of the Royal Institute to be: '… the general advancement of Civil Architecture, and for promoting and facilitating the acquirement of the knowledge of the various arts and sciences connected therewith…'
The operational framework is provided by the Byelaws, which are more frequently updated than the Charter. Any revisions to the Charter or Byelaws require the Privy Council's approval. [2]
The RIBA is a member organisation, with 44,000 members. Chartered Members are entitled to call themselves chartered architects and to append the post-nominals RIBA after their name; Student Members are not permitted to do so. Formerly, fellowships of the institute were granted, although no longer; those who continue to hold this title instead add FRIBA.
The RIBA has been recognised as a business Superbrand[3] since 2008.[4]
RIBA is based at 66 Portland Place, London—a 1930s Grade II* listed building designed by architect George Grey Wornum with sculptures by Edward Bainbridge Copnall and James Woodford. Parts of the London building are open to the public, including the exhibition galleries and Library. It has a large architectural bookshop, a café, restaurant and lecture theatres. Rooms are hired out for events.
The Institute also maintains a dozen regional offices around the United Kingdom, it opened its first regional office for the East of England at Cambridge in 1966.
- East – Great Shelford
- East Midlands – Art, Architecture and Design, University of Lincoln
- London – Portland Place
- North East – School of the Built Environment, Northumbria University
- North West – The Tea Factory, Liverpool
- South and South East – Building LO11, University of Reading
- South West and Wessex – Paintworks, Bristol
- West Midlands – Birmingham and Midland Institute, Birmingham
- Yorkshire – 32 The Calls, Leeds
- Wales – Royal Society of Architects in Wales, 4 Cathedral Road, Cardiff
- Northern Ireland – Royal Society of Ulster Architects[5]
- Scotland – Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland[6]
RIBA Enterprises[edit]
RIBA Enterprises is the commercial arm of RIBA[8] and is based at 15 Bonhill Street in London. It includes RIBA Insight,[9] RIBA Appointments,[10] and RIBA Publishing. It publishes the RIBA Product Selector and RIBA Journal. At Newcastle upon Tyne are RIBA Bookshops[11] and the NBS,[12] the National Building Specification, which itself has 130 staff and deals with the building regulations[13] and the Construction Information Service.
British Architectural Library[edit]
The British Architectural Library, sometimes referred to as the RIBA Library, was established in 1834 upon the founding of the institute with donations from members.[14] Now, with over four million items, it is one of the three largest architectural libraries in the world and the largest in Europe. Some items from the collections are on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in the V&A + RIBA Architecture Gallery and included in temporary exhibitions at the RIBA and across Europe and North America.[15] Its collections include:[16]
- Archives: 1.5 million items made up of architects' personal papers, correspondence, notebooks and diaries.
- Audiovisual materials: Talks held at the RIBA, including talks by winners of the Royal Gold Medal.
- Biographical files: 20,000 biographical files relating to a specific architect or firm. Files contain a mix of nomination papers for membership of the RIBA, obituaries, brochures, articles and letters.
- Books: 150,000 books and 20,000 pamphlets, with the earliest book dating from 1478. Amongst the items is a first edition of Andrea Palladio's I quattro libri dell'architettura from 1570 and John Tallis's Tallis's London street views from 1838-1840.
- Drawings: 1 million items are held. These predominantly cover British architects from the Renaissance to the present day, such as Ernö Goldfinger, Charles Holden and Edwin Lutyens. It holds the world's largest collection of drawings by Andrea Palladio.
- Models: Examples come from architects such as Denys Lasdun for his Keeling House and National Theatre, London.
- Periodicals: 2,000 architectural titles collected, with complete sets of Architectural Review, Architects Journal, and Country Life.
- Photographs: 1.5 million items, including the archive of the Architectural Press. Items date from the 19th century, but with major holdings of 20th-century photographers such as Eric de Maré, John Maltby, John Donat and Henk Snoek.
The overcrowded conditions of the library was one of the reasons why the RIBA moved from 9 Conduit Street to larger premises at 66 Portland Place in 1934. The library remained open throughout World War Two and was able to shelter the archives of Modernist architect Adolf Loos during the war.[17]
The library is based at two public sites: the Reading Room at the RIBA's headquarters, 66 Portland Place, London; and the RIBA Architecture Study Rooms in the Henry Cole Wing of the V&A. The Reading Room, designed by the building's architect George Grey Wornum and his wife Miriam, retains its original 1934 Art Deco interior with open bookshelves, original furniture and double-height central space. The study rooms, opened in 2004, were designed by Wright & Wright.[18] The library is funded entirely by the RIBA but it is open to the public without charge. It operates a free education programme aimed at students, education groups and families, and an information service for RIBA members and the public through the RIBA Information Centre.[19]
V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership[edit]
Since 2004, through the V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership, the RIBA and V&A have worked together to promote the understanding and enjoyment of architecture.[20]
In 2004, the two institutions created the Architecture Gallery (Room 128) at the V&A showing artefacts from the collections of both institutions, this was the first permanent gallery devoted to architecture in the UK. The adjacent Architecture Exhibition Space (Room 128a) is used for temporary displays related to architecture. Both spaces were designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects. At the same time the RIBA Library Drawing and Archives Collections moved from 21 Portman Place to new facilities in the Henry Cole Wing at the V&A. Under the Partnership new study rooms were opened where members of the public could view items from the RIBA and V&A architectural collections under the supervision of curatorial staff. These and the nearby education room were designed by Wright & Wright Architects.
RIBA Awards[edit]
RIBA runs many awards including the Stirling Prize for the best new building of the year, the Royal Gold Medal (first awarded in 1848), which honours a distinguished body of work, and the Stephen Lawrence Prize for projects with a construction budget of less than £500,000. The RIBA also awards the President's Medals for student work, and these are regarded as the most prestigious awards in architectural education. The RIBA European Award was inaugurated in 2005 for work in the European Union, outside the UK. The RIBA National Award and the RIBA International Award were established in 2007. Since 1966, the RIBA also judges regional awards which are presented locally in the UK regions (East, East Midlands, London, North East, North West, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South/South East, South West/Wessex, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire).
RIBA Competitions[edit]
RIBA Competitions is the Royal Institute of British Architects' unit dedicated to organising architectural and other design-related competitions.
Architectural design competitions are used by an organisation that plans to build a new building or refurbish an existing building. They can be used for buildings, engineering work, structures, landscape design projects or public realm artworks. A competition typically asks for architects and/or designers to submit a design proposal in response to a given Brief. The winning design will then be selected by an independent jury panel of design professionals and client representatives. The independence of the jury is vital to the fair conduct of a competition.
In addition to the Architects Registration Board, the RIBA provides accreditation to architecture schools in the UK under a course validation procedure.[21] It also provides validation to international courses without input from the ARB.
The RIBA has three parts to the education process: Part I which is generally a three-year first degree, a year-out of at least one year work experience in an architectural practice precedes the Part II which is generally a two-year post graduate diploma or masters. A further year out must be taken before the RIBA Part III professional exams can be taken. Overall it takes a minimum of seven years before an architecture student can seek chartered status.[22]
RIBA in the news[edit]
In 2007, RIBA called for minimum space standards in newly built British houses after research was published suggesting that British houses were falling behind other European countries. "The average new home sold to people today is significantly smaller than that built in the 1920s... We're way behind the rest of Europe—even densely populated Holland has better proportioned houses than are being built in the country. So let's see minimum space standards for all new homes," said RIBA president Jack Pringle.[23]
In 2011, a further campaign called Homewise was launched.[24]
The RIBA has been criticised as London-centric organisation which does not reach out to all members in the United Kingdom and beyond.[25][26]
- ARIBA: Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (no longer granted to new members)
- FRIBA: Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (now an honorary designation)
- RIBA: Chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects
- The Institute's president is designated PRIBA, past presidents use PPRIBA

Martin Waldseemüller
Martin Waldseemüller (Latinized Martinus Ilacomylus, Ilacomilus or Hylacomylus; c. 1470 – 16 March 1520) was a German cartographer. He and Matthias Ringmann are credited with the first recorded usage of the word America, on the 1507 map Universalis Cosmographia in honour of the Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
Waldseemüller was born in Wolfenweiler, and then his family moved to near Freiburg im Breisgau (his mother came from Radolfzell) and he studied at the University of Freiburg. He died 16 March 1520, "ab intestat", then a canon of the collegiate Church of Saint-Dié (located between Nancy, Lorraine and Strasbourg, Alsace in the heart of the Vosges blue mountain range along the Rhine river valley).
On 25 April 1507, as a member of the Gymnasium Vosagense at Saint Diey (German: Sankt Didel) in the duchy of Lorraine (today Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France), he produced a globular world map and a large 12-panel world wall map (Universalis Cosmographia), both bearing the first use of the name "America". The globular and wall maps were accompanied by a book Cosmographiae Introductio, an introduction to cosmography. The book, first printed in the city of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, includes in its second part, a translation to Latin of the Quattuor Americi Vespuccij navigationes (Four Voyages of Americo Vespucci), which is apparently a letter written by Amerigo Vespucci, although some historians consider it to have been a forgery written by its supposed recipient in Italy.[citation needed] In the chapter nine of the first part of the Cosmographiae Introductio, written by Mat(t)hias Ringmann (died in Sélestat in 1511 at the age of 29), it is explained why the name America was proposed for the then New World, or the Fourth Part of the World:
ab Americo Inventore ...quasi Americi terram sive Americam (from Amerigo the discoverer ...as if it were the land of Americus, thus America).
In 1513, Waldseemüller appears to have had second thoughts about the name, probably due to contemporary protests about Vespucci's role in the discovery and naming of America, or just carefully waiting for the official discovery of the whole northwestern coast of what is now called North America, as separated from East Asia. In his reworking of the Ptolemy atlas, the continent is labelled simply Terra Incognita (unknown land). Despite the revision, 1,000 copies of the world maps had since been distributed, and the original suggestion took hold. While North America was still called Indies in documents for some time, it was eventually called America as well.
The wall map was lost for a long time, but a copy was found in Schloss Wolfegg in southern Germany by Joseph Fischer in 1901. It is still the only copy known to survive, and it was purchased by the Library of Congress in May 2003,[1] after an agreement was reached in 2001.[2] Five copies of the globular map survive in the form of "gores": printed maps that were intended to be cut out and pasted onto a ball. Only one of these lies in the Americas today, residing at the James Ford Bell Library, University of Minnesota.

text: At long last, taciturn Texas Ranger Cord Walker (Chuck Norris) and Assistant D.A. Alex Cahill (Sheree J. Wilson) have gotten married, as Walker, Texas Ranger launches its ninth and final season. Alas, a pall is cast over the couple's happiness when Walker's closest friend, C.D. (Noble Willingham), is mysteriously killed. More disturbing still is the revelation that C.D.'s death is a part of a campaign of terror waged by a vicious killer who has sprung several other criminals from a maximum security prison, for the purpose of knocking off as many Texas Rangers as possible -- with Walker saved for last. Among the victims of this vendetta is Walker's partner Jimmy Trivette (Clarence Gilyard Jr.), though he manages to survive. In the series finale, Walker and a very pregnant Alex visit Jimmy in the hosptial, where Alex suddenly goes into labor, giving birth to a baby daughter. Once again, however, the couple's happiness may be short-lived -- literally so, when the assassin who has been decimating the Rangers shows up with a grenade strapped to his belt, intent upon blowing everyone whom the audience cares about to kingdom come! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I want to partition a USB flash drive so that two gigabytes is reserved for ubuntu and persistence, and the other two is for my files. I used gparted
to create two fat32 partitions on the flash drive. Natulius show the two partitions, good. However, when I open the Starup Disk Creator, it shows the flash drive as one drive instead of two partitions. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and a 4gb flash drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you should use disk utility to make partitions (primary and logical) then use the startup disk creator usb | |||
If you want to do that, you probably better use "unetbootin" instead to create a bootable live flash drive. | |||

The Good, the Bad, and the Chag
HaTov (the good)
Back in Tel Aviv once again, in a lovely rented flat in the Basel neighborhood where we are in the process of purchasing a small apartment. The first order of business after Steve's arrival is to show him our apartment to be, which I had found on my last stay. Pleased as he is, he knows that, this being Israel, there are, of course, complications. We are buying the apartment from a person who has a conservator and, as a result, the process moves at a glacier's pace through the court system and our documents are gathering dust on the desk of a family court judge. Most marriages feature divisions of labor and ours is no different. Steve is in charge of sports and documents. I handle everything else. So it falls to him to meet with Yair, our charming and competent real estate lawyer. Yair assures Steve that things are progressing and that we should consider paying the owners a minimal "rent" so that we can start the renovations. We desperately want the apartment ready by July when we return for Steve to compete as a member of the United States Maccabiah Tennis team (I'm SSSOOOO proud). But should we start renovations before the apartment is officially ours? A nice kind of dilemma.
HaRah (the bad): a series of misadventures
Flash back to Purim. Benji calls us in Los Angeles to tell us that he is in the emergency room in Tel Aviv with a suspected appendicitis. The test results are inconclusive and he is sent home. But soon after, he calls again to tell us that he is about to undergo an emergency appendectomy. Oy! But the Israeli medical system functions perfectly and thankfully, Benji is fine.
Flash forward to my third evening back in the holy land. I am at dinner with Benji and his good friend, Adi Davis (no relation). My wallet is somehow stolen from an inner pocket of my bag which lies tight across my body. I am impressed by how professional some Israeli thieves are. Annoyed, but impressed. Who'd a thunk? Since Steve is minister of documents, the incident is duly reported to him and he quickly restores my credit cards, but not my California driver's license, nor the 40 shekels in cash, nor my beautiful Anne Fontaine wallet.
And finally, like something out of an old sit-com - one morning my wonderful, adoring (and amorous) husband thinks he might get lucky by breaking the bedroom door handle and inadvertently locks us in the bedroom. A bit claustrophobic, I notice that not only can we not use the door, but the iron grate on the only window is padlocked. I consider calling my daughter, Gaby, who has a key to the front door of the flat but remember that most Israeli apartments require a key to lock them from the inside and that most Israeli's leave the key in the lock on the inside making it impossible to insert a key from the outside to open the door. Fortunately, I am able to reach our very good-natured landlady who sends over a locksmith immediately. Needless to say, the situation is hardly conducive (at least to me) for romance!
HaChag (the holiday)
A rousing Pesach Seder with our long lost, of no relation, Davis cousins of Kokhav Ya'ir. Wouldn't you know that both of our families sing the same goofy American parodies of the four sons? A week of family, good friends and amazing food - now that we eat kitniyot!. Benji and I spent the end of the chag with his former family at Kibbutz Sa'ad. While driving there, I told him that I had a small gift for Safri, the mother of 7 and an amazing Yemini cook despite her Ashkenazi upbringing. The gift for the kitchen was none other than a silicone pot cover which Benji thought was a dumb idea. We walked into their home to the incredible smell of rice and Yemini chicken soup just as someone laments that the cover to the pot has just broken! In Israel, there are no coincidences, only miracles.
Next year in Tel Aviv (and also Jerusalem).

Israel has been my passion ever since my first trip with a youth group at age 18. Throughout college, graduate school, and a number of years of single life thereafter, the desire to visit and live in Israel did not wane. In 1984 my fiancé, Steve, joined me on a young adult leadership mission for his first visit. By the time our three kids were 10, 7, and 5 we were spending the summer at Ulpan Akiva located on the beach front of Netanya. Fast forward through 17 consecutive years of education at The Jacob Pressman Academy(www.tbala.org), a Solomon Schechter school, and through 10 years at Milken Community High School(www.milkenschool.org), our kids now know dikduk (Hebrew grammar) as well as know how to read and speak the language of the Jewish people. After years of Hebrew study I speak to five year olds well, and as for my husband, he can say, "My name is Steve."
Our three kids, Benji, Gaby and Sofia, spent a month of every summer at the Conservative movement's Camp Ramah in Ojai, CA and even participated on staff in a variety of positions in their post camper years. Has there been an Israel opportunity they have missed? Have you ever heard of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation Twinning program, Camp Ramah's Seminar in Israel, Milken Community High School Tifferet, March of the Living, Nativ, Aardvark or Kivunim? Questions about the best Israel programs? Call me. Questions on how to pay for them? My answer is commitment to the cause, help from parents, and a devoted husband who loves the law. (Or as my semi-observant husband will tell you, "Hashem will provide.")
Fast forward to today. After a very non traditional college experience of a year and a half in Israel, two quarters at Cambridge and a diploma from George Washington University Benji just celebrated his third year as an Israeli immigrant. At age 22, he spent a year in the Israeli army working as the Coordinator for New Immigrants at Tel Hashomer, an army base outside of Tel Aviv. He currently works for Nefesh b'Nefesh, a NGO aliyah organization developing programming for lone soldiers. After a year of college in Southern California, Gaby spent a gap year in Israel and made aliya in August 2011 as a participant in GarinTzabar. After an army Hebrew course and a stint in the course for shooting instructor, Gaby is now a dog trainer for German Shepard puppies, the dog of choice in the IDF. After having spent a gap year on Kivunim, our youngest child, Sofia, has taken the traditional college route and is currently a first year student at Barnard College in Manhattan.
And where am I? After visiting Sofia for parent's weekend in NYC I find myself back in Tel Aviv. After all NYC is five hours closer to Ben Gurion. It was a natural "might as well."

With three young adult children living in Israel I decided early last spring to leave the comforts of my husband, home and dog in the lunchbox section of Beverly Hills for a rather worn looking flat in the city center of Tel Aviv. Pathetic language learner that I am I continued my pursuit of the Hebrew language four days a week five hours a day at Ulpan Gordon. I also continued to swim my 1250 meters 24/6 at the city's famous saltwater pool conveniently located blocks from the ulpan and also known as the Gordon Pool. When I was not studying, swimming or socializing with my kids and friends I went on a mad house-hunt for an apartment in central Tel Aviv.
One day my dear friend, Anat, gave me a phone number and said call this guy, Moshe. He had some apartments for sale. We set up a coffee for the next morning. He told me I would know him because he would be wearing a blue shirt and is very tall. Turns out that Moshe is a former Israeli basketball star. Unfortunately, his apartments were in the construction phase and beyond my budget. It also turns out that Moshe didn't know my friend Anat. I had inadvertently dialed a wrong number but was lucky enough to find another Moshe with apartments for sale. Only in Israel.
My next stop was to another Anat referral. I met a young gentleman named Itai at a nearby gallery. Reluctantly I agreed to get on his motorcycle for a tour of the neighborhood (did I neglect to mention that I was wearing a dress?). As he weaved in and out of the dense traffic, I blurted, "Be patient and just wait for the cars to move because I really like my legs!"
He considered this an invitation to converse. "Why are you in Israel?" He asked.
"My three kids are all here." I answered.
"Your three kids? How old are they?" He replied.
"24, 22, and 19." I said.
While continuing to drive and avoid traffic he turned his head completely around and said, "It is impossible because you are far too young to have kids that old!"
Frantically, I pushed his face forward. He turned to look a second time. I pushed his cute 30-year-old punim forward again. Finally we arrived back at the gallery.
Then Itai asked me, "Do you smoke?"
I tell him he is young and handsome and he should quit.
He said, "Not cigarettes." It was time for my next appointment.
Later in the day I arrived at the pool. Just minding my own business with my nose in a book, I heard a voice. He said, "You look like you belong on the cover of Vogue." I responded, "What gives you the [insert swear word here] right to invade my personal space?" I then laughed, said thank you and we began to converse. He asked me about my day. I started from the beginning, "By mistake I met a former Israeli basketball star." He responded, "Oh, Moshe! He just left this pool."
This is the first in a series of blog posts about how a 60 year old woman, wife and mother of three comes to live on two coasts, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. With many thanks to her husband, children, parents, friends and the Tel Aviv Los Angeles Partnership.

R.I.P. the computer mouse, 1972-2010
Largely overlooked amid the overwhelming iPad hype is its biggest potential achievement. Apple's touch-screen quasi-PC may have finally struck a fatal blow to the long-standing king of input devices, the computer mouse.
Make no mistake about it, the era of the familiar PC mouse is coming to an end. It may not be a 2012-style apocalypse (and the mouse will surely hang on in some form for many years to come), but the door is slowly shutting on the universal acceptance of this single iconic piece of hardware that we have equated with personal computing for decades (for argument's sake, let's agree to date its lifespan from the 1972 invention of the ball mouse, and its use as a consumer device from the 1981 Xerox Star). Replacing it is an array of touch input devices and icon-focused operating systems that are built (not always for the better) around expediency over flexibility.
Long before the iPad, touch-screen tablet PCs had been around for years, occasionally enjoying a brief surge in consumer interest, and then fading away again, as users discovered that touch navigation was not really ready for prime time. Apple's iPhone, and later the iPod Touch, changed all that, bringing actual one-to-one touch to the masses for the first time.
But on the PC side, this only made the sluggish, temperamental touch screens found on most tablets even more glaringly obvious; we frequently described these devices as having a rubber-band effect. You'd drag a finger across the screen to move an icon, and it would follow behind by half a beat, as if on the end of a rubber band. The takeway was that touch was workable on tiny handhelds, but not well-suited to larger laptop screens.
The iPad's disruptive success in building a larger touch environment that has received almost universal praise puts the lie to that theory. It may not be as productivity friendly as your ThinkPad, but add a Bluetooth keyboard and Apple's iWork apps, and you've got a reasonable approximation of a laptop experience in many cases.
But even before the iPad, PCs that traded the mouse for a fingertip have been making significant strides. HP has led the way with its TouchSmart lineof all-in-one desktops and convertible tablet laptops. Again, the experience wasn't entirely seamless, but each successive generation of these systems has seen further refinement of their specialized touch interfaces, which sit on top of Windows, hiding the mouse-driven desktop from view. Asus also did an decent job with the custom interface on the Eee PC T91, a touch-screen version of the popular Eee PC Netbook (despite that system's other flaws).… Read more

BURLINGTON Vermont fire investigators say an early morning fire in a vacant Burlington apartment was arson.

The families in the three apartments left the building, but they were allowed to return a short time later after firefighters extinguished the fire.

Winfrey announced new book club pick
4 mins ago - Winfrey has chosen Sue Monk Kidd's "The Invention of Wings," as her latest book club selection.
I'll give you more information later. But here's what I am thinking about this one. The bulk of the heavier stuff will fall to our north. They have a lot more going for them up there. It has been colder longer in some of those locations.
I am looking more and more at Friday night and into Saturday. We'll be in a much better position to have snow stick around becuase of the colder air that will be hanging around.
Here's what I am thinking for the Tuesday night Wednesday System.
We'll talk more later!

Thoughts on Wren?
Hey berries!
What does everyone think of the name Wren? I really like it, it is by far one of my favorite nature names, and one of the only ones I like that isn't a flower. Is it usable? And any suggestions on combos?etc.Favorites:

I'm a Ren (short for Karen) which is exactly the same sound. I like that it's a nickname and that I can choose to go by Karen if I want to It could also be short for Lauren, Florence, Maren, Renee, Renata etc
Anyway, it's definitely usable even though I've never been a fan of the bird version of my name. I've been complimented on it more than once and my friends call me Renny sometimes.
My middle name is Rose. So altogether I'm a Ren Rose.Last edited by renrose; July 1st, 2013 at 03:33 PM.

Quanta is the stencil to beat all stencils!
It is the loud bullhorn, the boot camp superior, the final word, the tight team spirit, the rubber stamp that takes a chunk out of the paper. Its letters are big and strong, and its impact is unavoidable.

Depending on whom you ask, Wayne Brady should or should not have taken exception to being used as fodder for the "non-threatening Black man" joke. Also depending on whom you ask, the oft-used joke by Bill Maher should be considered less of an insult and more a compliment, in that Wayne Brady is not emblematic of the negative depictions of African-American men.
But in the end, the only real opinion that matters in the discussion of Bill Maher V. Wayne Brady is Brady's…which he made abundantly clear; indicating he'd "gladly slap the sh!t out of Bill."
As of this moment, there has been no public response from Maher, which is surprising to some degree given his consistent activity on Twitter and willingness to verbally beat down those who publicly engage him. And even if Maher does eventually respond, expect it from the safety of his television show, complete with his sympathetic and sycophantic audience. Look for it in the form of snide commentary in the "New Rules" section, assailing Brady's supposed oversensitivity (i.e. "you can't take a joke").
There is a real discussion to be had as to whether it is "funny" for Maher the community outsider to consistently weigh in with opinions on who is a "real" Black man or just really non-threatening. Although the issues of race may be within the purview of comics, it doesn't mean that we as the audience relinquish our right to find certain humor distasteful.
Maher's track record of mean-spirited humor can't be argued or denied. All personal political allegiances aside, we should be in agreement on that point.
Maybe Maher felt comfortable quipping about Brady because he also had a long history of wagging his finger at Republicans for racism. Possibly Maher felt comfortable poking Brady because Maher has been so public in his support of President Obama. According to Brady, Maher's comfort level is inextricably linked to his penchant for pillow talk with Black "girlfriends."
Beyond that, there is an undercurrent to Bill's humor that he fancies himself as "down" and can take certain liberties. Even on his website (billmaher.com), his blog section is titled "Blogga Please" an obvious play on words with "N***a please." It all adds up to a sum total at the register. We shouldn't view the Brady remarks in a vacuum.
The most interesting part of Brady's very public rant was that it gave considerable insight into the psyche of many Black men. For many of us, we understood exactly the nature of Brady's remarks, in a way Maher never could and never will. For many of us, there was a head-nod of agreement and understanding as to how and why Brady "went there" and in such graphic detail. There is a socialization, a standard operating procedure if you will, relative to our interaction. First and foremost, you should never call out one's manhood. Amongst Black men it is both implicitly and explicitly understood. Meaning, if a man can't seem to "get it" implicitly, then it will be explained to you explicitly…in probably a very uncomfortable manner.
Brady's remarks were telling in many ways. Not only for their content, but also for the underlying subtext in the manner delivered. Brady made it very clear he is, and will always be a Black man, and abundantly clear on our rules of interaction.
In short, Brady reminded Maher that "our rules" state that there are some things you can only say on a non-Black television network to a non-Black panel, with a 99% non-Black studio audience playing along.
Bill Maher may have "New Rules" on his television program, but in relation to Black men, our old ones are still in effect.

You should really check out the entire interview with Aisha Tyler. Bill Maher touched a nerve not only regarding his manhood, but race. Bill opened a deep wound that I think you could relate to. Just a thought.

Two Fayetteville residents are accused of bilking a couple out of nearly $39,000 by promising to do renovations at their house but never finishing the work.
Brittany Hobbs, 23, and Christopher Paul Beard, 37, both of the 4600 block of N.C. 87 South, were charged Thursday with one count each of obtaining property by false pretense, failing to work after being paid, and conspiracy, according to arrest warrants.
The two allegedly told the homeowners that Beard was a licensed contractor and could do plumbing, electrical and heating and air conditioning work, the warrants show.
Hobbs and Beard, who operated Oakfield Builders, agreed to renovate the homeowners' bathroom including the installation of a tub and rails to assist the owners in getting out of the tub, according to the warrants. They also agreed to complete duct work for the air conditioning system.
Beard performed the work, the warrants allege, while Hobbs acted as the on-site supervisor. The victims paid the total bill of $38,813 for the work that was never completed.
Bail for each was set at $10,000.
