Last weekend Angelina Jolie won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the fifth annual Governors Awards. As I reflected on the composure, elegance, dignity and compassion Jolie radiated standing on the podium, I began thinking about her life and career as we know it, and felt instantly compelled to have her as our next Monday Muse. The humanitarian prize was awarded to Jolie for her charitable work with United Nations Refugee Agency for the past decade, for which she had made over 40 field missions, including helping refugees from Cambodia and Syria - this doesnt cover even half of her contribution to philanthropy in general. In her acceptance speech, Jolie comments on the moment she understood her responsibility to others - the moment she realized how sheltered and fortunate her life had been and decided to commit her life to helping those less fortunate. Also not to forget - Jolie has simultaneously been the recipient of an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. There have certainly been the cynics who doubt the integrity of her cause, and I write this in definite opposition to them. Angelina Jolie has undertaken the most fascinating evolution in life, as a spectator I feel one can only admire what she has achieved. From Girl, Interrupted to receiving this award.. Perhaps she has made a few wrong decisions, run wayward a few times, but there is no denying that throughout all the choices she has made in life and in spite of what may have been considered right, she has remained entirely true to herself. To do this, and more importantly to do this in the public eye, requires an undeniable amount of inner strength and belief. In this world of flagrant pop culture that we live in, this world of Real Housewives and Snookis, it is so important to hold a beacon to the popular culture icons who act as a genuine reflection of the society and community we live in today. Jolie in no way glorifies the shallow, materialistic and bogus temptations of our times - we have been able to watch a woman mature and grow with her generation, using the opportunities she has been given to better herself and those around her. There is certainly an element of surprise that Jolie has ended up where she has, and this can only make us applaud all the more. I identify with a journey that started out problematic, and not without demons, and can appreciate how far she has come all the more. Her acceptance speech thanked her late mother, her role model and constant supporter. Again I can identify with this. Jolies story is one of true resilience, she epitomizes the concept of femininity with a bite that so defines the woman I design for. She is this Mondays muse.

If you've been following our Monday Muse Journal series, you'll know we have recently been keen to celebrate women from around the world that we feel are uniquely talented, spirited and inspiring. In line with this theme, we wanted to take a minute to talk about this young, beautiful poet and model from London, Greta Bellamacina. The Better Geranium I like to pretend I don't care as I pour you a lake From my kitchen sink. I pour you my tears Wide-wept dunes, to the Geranium hero liver, in Seas of flowerfaces. I reorder my ways, Cause my 'Friends' told me it was the 'right' way. "I hope you will stay better" I say it, but don't know it. You will go, because I will go, In innocence when others are not innocent A less to lesser us both My daytime idol, as it appears, bacteria I grew. Greta graduated from King's College London in 2012, with a BA in English. Her poems and articles have been widely published in various magazines and international poetry journals - a regular contributor to Harpers Bazaar UK, known for supporting the literary world through fashion, the publication has been a follower of Greta from the early stages of her career. Greta has also been short-listed as the Young Poet Laureate of London. Greta has recently collaborated with Dame Vivienne Westwood to help campaign for climate issues. Creating new, emotive poetry about the climate, and world we live in, helping raise awareness for Westwood's 'Climate Revolution'. Her poetry revolves around an unwavering devotion to words, a curiosity for depicting emotions from unfamiliar phrases and seeking unique lexical patterns. Her debut collection of poetry 'Kaleidoscope' was released in 2011, her newest collection is entitled 'To December - A Devotion To She.' Read Greta Bellamacina's poetry here..

Much has been written and reported about Malala Yousafzai, the young champion of womens education. On October 9th, 2012, aged 14 years old, Malala was shot in the head twice by the Taliban in Pakistan. She was returning home from school on the school bus when targeted point blank by the militant group for speaking out about their behaviour and for the promotion of womens education. Somehow, Malala made what is widely believed to be a miraculous recovery. Flown firstly to Peshawar, then to England, she survived a not only barbaric, but also life threatening head injury. "The fact that she didn't die on the spot or very soon thereafter is to my mind nothing short of miraculous," Dr. Javid Kayani told Diane Sawyer, anchor of ABC News. The doctors who treated Malala told the BBC that her recovery was a tribute not just to the quality of the care she received - but also to her own resilience and determination. This resilience and determination seems to define Malala, and her story exists as proof that both can get you through the most devastating of situations. We have written regularly about women who stand as pillars of strength, confidence and intense, but quiet, self assurance - Malala, now an international symbol of girls rights' for education and security through her efforts to fight extremism and oppression, is a prime example of this woman. Malala rose to prominence in 2009 when she wrote a blog for the BBC Urdu service about her life under Taliban rule and the lack of education for girls. "I wanted to speak up for my rights, and also I didn't want my future to be just sitting in a room and be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth to children. I didn't want to see my life in that way." She now wants to become prime minister of Pakistan, following in the footsteps of her role model, the late Benazir Bhutto. Last Friday, Malala Yousafzai just missed out on winning the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. Regardless of the outcome of the award, we decided some time ago that she would be this Mondays Muse. Malala's bravery and dedication to her cause we feel is truly, truly remarkable. She not only stands up for women's rights, but in doing so demonstrates the female strength, sophistication and unwavering confidence we admire so much. Read more about Malala with the BBC

This Thursday the New York City Ballet Fall 2013 Gala will open with costumes designed by Prabal Gurung. Having spent the last six months working with choreographer and dancer Justin Peck, immersing ourselves in the world of dance, movement and theatre, the more and more we came to realize the extent of dedication and persistence ballerinas devote to their craft, the multitude of hardships they face on a daily basis. Amongst these dancers there are so many inspiring, infinitely talented and endlessly persevering women, and we felt that in light of the upcoming Gala, this weeks Monday Muse should pay tribute to them. We were introduced to Wendy Whelan by Peck. At the age of 46, Wendy remains a principal dancer of the New York City Ballet. Not only do most dancers retire well before 40, Wendy also suffers from severe scoliosis - The New York Times recently named Wendy as "America's greatest contemporary ballerina. Similarly to many of our past Monday Muses, Whelan gains immense motivation through adversity. She admits to Broadway World, I thrive on the challenge, the exchange, the collaboration and the discovery. These experiences have shaped my artistic evolution and have kept me motivated and fulfilled. A diagnosis of severe scoliosis is crippling for anyone. Requiring constant therapy from a young age, hours a day spent fighting your spines inclination to twist and curve with exercises and core work, long periods of time in a hard brace, soft brace, or cast - all the while knowing the likely outcome could simply result in extreme surgery, a fusion of your spine, in order to protect your organs from being crushed, and your body deforming - it without a doubt tests the strongest of characters. To excel as a dancer requires a precision of poise, balance and harmony that feels impossible to achieve with a curved back. However Whelan proves otherwise - after her treatment at the age of 13, her determination remained unwavering, she would continue to attend ballet class in a full cast from her shoulder to her hips. I have this crooked body, she tells The New York Times, so I have to be really disciplined with it. It has to stay strong and limber, or else it gets tight. I also feel like if my spine is longer and more open, I dont get depressed." The discipline pays off Whelan is renowned for being one of the most adaptable, elegant and accomplished dancers in America. Shes New Yorks treasure, Mr. Petronio (of Stephen Petronio Company) said. The longevity of her career has been astounding. Shes like a great architectural building you pass day after day. Wendy Whelan is proof of a sincere and dedicated pursuit of beauty against all odds, and someone who refused to give up on her talent. Both qualities we admire without exception, and so she is this Mondays muse.

Last weekend, I went to see Woody Allens Blue Jasmine featuring Cate Blanchett and I walked out instantly knowing who our next Monday Muse would be. Cates performance stayed with me for days. Haunting, compelling and raw, it was one of those rare cinematic experiences in which the chasm between audience and projection melted, and I felt a complete and unnerving connection with the fictitious world on screen. I couldnt get Jasmine out of my mind. It got me thinking about talent, pure, raw talent. In a world in which anyone can be famous, there has to be something said for those individuals who remain as steadfast devotees to their craft, who remain oblivious to the buzz they so organically generate. My most vivid memory of Cate is from the 77th Academy Awards, in 2005. She won the award for Best Supporting Actress in The Aviator, and wore a pale yellow Valentino gown. It was one of those great moments for me, as a fashion designer, with great talent and great beauty colliding so sensationally. It followed from my first memory of her when nominated for Best Actress for Elizabeth, wearing the hummingbird embroidered Galliano gown in 1999. Cate wears clothes with a rare elegance and finesse, and simultaneously, but independently, maintains her identity as deeply respected actress. This multi dimensional nature of her character I cant help but admire and applaud. Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton have been the creative directors of the Sydney Theatre Company since 2008. They work together day in, day out for this institution, believing passionately in the preservation of theatre and performance. Credited with bringing international film and theatre directors into STC productions, Sydney Theatre Company chair Ian Darling has said - Theyve transformed the company and the way many people feel about it. Again going back to the idea that real craft and skill can get a little lost in the age of digital frenzy we live in, there is something so inspiring and refreshing about the dedication that has gone into this project. Cate draws so little attention to herself, yet regardless continues to succeed in proving herself to be a true ambassador of the arts. I have no doubt that Cate will be nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Blue Jasmine, and indeed I have written this as a humble plea not only that she does, but that she wins. I can think of no one more deserving. -Prabal

Our Fall 2013 Digital Campaign features Bridget Hall, was shot by Daniel Jackson and styled by Tiina Laakkonen with Creative Director Christopher Simmonds. As Prabal said to the New York Times : Weve grown up with this fantasy about supermodels, he said. I felt personally it was the right moment to celebrate women of that age. Bridget speaks to the customer, a perfect representation of the woman the Fall 2013 collection was designed for. Featured on the cover of Vogue, French Vogue, British Vogue, Vogue Japan, as well as Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Italian Elle (at least three times) and W Magazine - to name but a few - she has also been named one of Sports Illustrated top 50 Swimsuit models and been the face of Dior. Bridget Hall is an established legacy of iconic, timeless and powerful beauty. She bridged a gap between high fashion models, and every woman. Her ability to work between American Athletic and French Couture gives her an edge, that beauty with another dimension. And indeed, shooting Bridget was a dream, there was an undeniable ease about her, a quiet and natural strength of character that was present at all times, backstage and in front of the camera - a perfect muse for this campaign.

Alex Catarinella talks to Natalia Kills Its safe to say that there are a slew of powerful ladies currently ruling the pop music universe. But come September 3rd, when dark pop recording artist Natalia Kills releases her LP, Trouble, some room will need to be made. At 27-years-old, the British musician already boasts quite the resume including a lauded debut album, 2011s synth-heavy Perfectionist, and traveling the globe playing sold-out arenas as an opening act for Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Robyn and more. But as youll soon hear via Trouble, an opening act she is certainly not. Instead of the dance floor-ready anthems prominently featured on her debut, Trouble sounds like, well, trouble. Theres screeching guitar riffs and defiant drums; theres visceral shouts and girl group oohs; theres hauntingly honest lyrics about domestic abuse, visiting her father in prison (purchase her song Saturday Night, recently featured on Vogue.com, for proof) and even ending it all, in addition to runway-friendly bangers like Problem, where Kills sassily warns about herself over sirens: That girl is a goddamn problem. Backed by production from music heavyweights Jeff Bhasker and Emile Haynie, both of whom have worked with Kanye West, Lana del Rey, and Fun, Trouble is like torn pages from Kills lifelong diary (Did we mention she writes all of her own music?). She also designed the album artwork for Trouble, which finds Kills glamorously framed within a collage complete with cop cars, dripping pink nail polish and roses... all the while clad in a Prabal Gurung dress. We caught up with Kills and chatted about all things fashion and what kind of Trouble to expect from the talented buzzed-about artist very soon. Who taught you the most about style? When I was really young my mother always wore a mink coat, clip-on gold and pearl earrings and short Versace dresses. She looked like Ginger from Casino with all the Cartier bracelets and sunglasses! When I was a teenager, I had no money and I'd wear black all the time so people couldn't tell how expensive or cheap my outfit was I dreamed of having nice things and would go try on clothes in designer stores even though I couldn't afford them, just to feel wrapped in luxury for a few minutes in the changing room. What does elegance mean to you? Elegance is everything! Its not about how new or expensive your shoes are -- it's about how gracefully, playfully and powerfully you walk in them. If you could raid anyone's closet, whose would it be and what would you take? I'd raid Dionne's closet from Clueless. She's the perfect mix of preppy rich girl meets bad ass. I'd steal her hat collection and all of her plaid mini skirts and blazers. Describe your forthcoming album, Trouble, in five words... All my best mistakes yet Intriguing! Okay, spill more... It's high impact bad girl anthems over hip-hop drums and grunge guitars. My friends call it "Girl Interrupted Pop" because in almost every song I'm confessing about something bad in my past -- stalking my ex boyfriend, trying to set fire to the house with us both in it, getting taken away by the police, visiting my dad in jail, leaving home at 15, making out with boys I'd never met before, suicide attempts and running away to Paris. Fun times What song from Trouble is the most special to you? My favorite song is Saturday Night. It's my life story in four minutes of music! Going into the making of the album, was it your plan to reveal so much from your past? Why the need to do it now? My first album was about wanting everything to be perfect when it really wasn't at all. Trouble is realizing why things were so messed up and that most of it was my fault. I was wild and didn't understand consequences. Despite everything that's happened, I'm not trying to be fixed or saved. It's not therapy -- I'm not trying to get over the trauma, or even get better. I want to look in the mirror and see the scars as well as the beauty and think "Fuck yeah, these are mine and no one else's." This album is a confession -- it's me being naked in front of everyone, so they can see something that they thought was pretty rosy is actually just as much a mess as themselves. There doesn't have to be secrets or regrets -- the only mistake is trying not to make any. And on a lighter note. What can we expect from your upcoming performances? I just started rehearsing with my band! We're all girls, we're all hot and the guitarists can really shred Preorder Trouble here..

Taryn Simon As we have established, our Monday Muse is a tribute to women of depth and accomplishment, and most particularly what lies behind them - the character, sensuality and soul that drives them, and that is so admirable. Taryn Simon has exhibited at New Yorks Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum, as well as the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Centre Pompidou in Paris and Londons Tate Modern - among many others. She works an artistic medium that consists of three elements, photography, text and graphic design, exploring the impossibility of absolute understanding. A globally recognized talent, she is also wildly beautiful. What really draws us to her, however, is the acute and unwavering curiosity that fuels her work. Her first book The Innocents documents the stories of several individuals who served time in prison for violent crimes they did not commit. Fascinated by the way in which photography (the mug shots, composite sketches, polaroids etc) offered the government a path to mistaken identity, Simon photographed these men in places that in some way referenced their improper conviction. She fully reveals the potential ambiguity of the photograph - as a representation of anything in life - and the consequences this ambiguity can lead to. In 2009 Taryn investigated contraband items seized at the customs and border control of JFK Airport. What she found was a completely compelling insight into the eccentricities of human nature. She remained on site for four days and nights, doggedly pursuing what she wanted, and ended up with 1,075 photographs of items that ranged from cigarettes, drugs and unidentified liquids to Ukrainian pork fat, Viagra, Indian cow dung toothpaste, an Asian deer penis, a bird corpse and a plastic pitcher of salami. Its certainly tempting to categorize Taryn Simon as a political artist, but she in fact rejects the notion. While she accepts that there might be some political undertone to her work, she maintains that it plays no part in her agenda. What motivates her is a thirst for the unknown, a curiosity, an interest in the diverse and complex role photographic imagery can play in the world. What she doesnt understand is what exhilarates her, not the opposite. More of an artistic sociologist than political activist. Udo Kittelmann of the Nationalgalerie Berlin says of Simon Taryn documents the soul of the world. Taryn Simon is a woman who is undaunted by complicated tasks and the impediments her line of work brings forward - she says of herself to The Guardians Sean O'Hagan In some perverse way, obstacles interest me and I'm drawn to projects that end up being incredibly laborious." She likes to push herself and her boundaries, finding ease and simplicity unfulfilling. We particularly love Joan Juliet Bucks report of Taryn for W Magazine: "First theres the flashing beacon of the intellect from across a room; then you find this stunning woman, her beauty magnified by her intensity and intelligence. She has that coveted quality, that quiet, unassuming allure, a sensuality sustained by an intense intelligence and sense of innocent, but fiery curiosity. She is a PG woman, and this Mondays muse.

Waris Dirie With racial diversity on the runway an ongoing issue - women of color continue to be overwhelmingly underrepresented weve recently been thinking about the legacy of fashion icon Waris Dirie. Waris Dirie has walked the runways of all important fashion houses in New York, London, Milan and Paris. She has appeared in advertisements for Chanel, and LOreal and has been featured in Vogue, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar to name but a few. Most importantly, she was the first black model to be used by Oil of Ulay - Waris Dirie began her legacy by proving that beauty did not exclusively require white skin. From the beginning of her career, she has stood as a figure of powerful moral rectitude, questioning and confronting the vain and the superficial so rife in her world. She was spotted in London by fashion photographer Terence Donovan at (allegedly) the age of 18 and became one of the worlds most famous supermodels. We say allegedly, because the truth is Waris doesnt know exactly how old she is. As reported by The Daily Telegraph , she thinks she was about 14 when she fled her native Somalia for London. Her uncle needed to give her an age for her passport, and decided it would be 18. Waris had undergone female genital mutilation by the age of five and had been arranged to marry a 60 year man by the age of 13. A fierce determination to fight for what was right, and refute what was wrong, clearly drove her from a young age- she fled Galkayo, Somalia, wanting to escape her destiny and settled in London, where she found a job with McDonalds, taking night classes to learn English. Unlike some, Waris Dirie never saw her luck and success with the fashion world as a be all and end all saving grace. She says of her modeling career It was not my dream come true it all just happened. Accepting that fashion is fun, ridiculously fun she cant bear the frivolity that in many aspects goes with it - she felt that as a model she was achieving nothing good for the world. In 1996 she abandoned her modeling career to focus on her work against female circumcision. Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations appointed Waris Dirie as UN Special Ambassador for the elimination of Female Genital Mutilation. The practice has gone down in recent years, but the United Nations estimates that 30 million girls in countries across Africa and the Middle East are still at risk. In 2002, Dirie established the Desert Flower Foundation to increase awareness, create and provide support networks for victims and organizing events. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed. She has received the Womens World Award by President Mikhail Gorbachev and the Chévalier de la Légion dHonneur by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Waris Dirie is an inspiration. An epitome of grace under pressure she has used the success and platform she was given as best she could to make a positive change in the world. Not satisfied with merely a personal achievement, she has in the face of huge adversity campaigned for what she believes is right. As a child, being a woman seemed, to her, to be painful and unhappy. Realizing the opposite she continues to campaign against this, encouraging young girls like her to be proud of who they are. Regardless of her achievements, the spirit and energy behind her campaign is honorable, and testament to a woman of enormous strength and integrity. And so she is a PG woman, and this Mondays muse.

There has always been a strange sense of antagonism between fashion and powerful women, a belief that women must sacrifice femininity to gain power, authority and respect -- and that fashion especially is too frivolous a concern for serious women. I have never understood this notion, and I wouldn't be doing what I do today if I believed it. What I have always believed in, though, is the idea that with more women in power and more feminine influence in society, the world would be more empathetic and compassionate and would become a better place. The quiet inner strength of my mother - her unwavering belief in and quest for integrity and justice, her unflinching philosophy of grace under pressure - has always had a profound influence on me and the way I view women. But day by day I become even more fascinated by the ever-complex world of women, by the many hats and various roles women wear and play throughout the day. Be it my mother, sister, teachers, friends, individuals from our industry, celebrities or famous leaders, the impact and influence women have on my life is immense and just the same. I truly believe that a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely lethal combination. Women of integrity, depth, sensuality and strength have always been my source of inspiration, the reason for what I do and how I got to where I am today. They are all my muse. If my quest, in what I do - to make women look and feel beautiful - reflects even a tiny fraction of my deep-rooted respect for them, and succeeds in celebrating these lives of strength and substance, then I will consider it a job well done. With this in mind, I have decided to pay tribute, and start a series on our blog The Journal, called Monday Muse. Our first Monday Muse is Suleika Jaouad. We have been lucky enough to become acquainted, through friends, with this astonishing example of inspiring spirit, strength and talent. I hope you enjoy reading, and draw as much inspiration from these women as I do. Yours, Prabal Suleika Jaouad A triple citizen of the US, Switzerland, and Tunisia, Suleika graduated with highest honors from Princeton University in 2010. She was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia at the age of 22, about three years ago. After almost 2 years of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant this past April she is finally cancer-free. Her weekly column Life, Interrupted in the New York Times Well section has chronicled her journey as young women living with cancer. Her blog Secrets of Cancerhood began as a therapeutic outlet, and quickly turned into an inspiring legacy of hope and re-assurance for cancer patients, survivors and, really, anyone. Suleika writes beautifully, both frankly and openly, teaching her readers and followers about coping, moving forward and staying positive in the face of lifes most tragic interruptions. She chose not to feel sorry for herself, but to do everything she could to brighten her darkest days, as well as those of patients and sufferers around her. Her articles would be titled things like 10 Things Not To Say To a Cancer Patient, 10 Ways To Help a Friend with Cancer. In one of her most inspirational articles, Making Resolutions, she discusses how during her pre-cancer days, she would constantly make resolutions for herself that she never saw through. Id always excelled at making resolutions. But I was never as good at keeping them. Like a lot of young people, I burned the candle at both ends, with an age-appropriate dose of invincibility She promised herself that if she ever went into remission, she would never stop short of her goals again. Suleika serves as a reminder for all of us to take life day-by-day and to enjoy every moment. Its impossible for us to predict lifes interruptions and is ones duty, when you are able, to truly live life to its fullest extent. To remain as such a beacon of hope, encouragement and positivity during such an experience represents a type of bravery only few are capable of having. And so she is a PG woman, and this Mondays muse. Suleika has been featured in The New York Times, Glamours December 2012 issue, NBCs Weekend Today Show, NPRs Talk of The Nation and All Things Considered, and The Paris Review. She is the Angel Ambassador to Gabrielles Angels Foundation. Read Suleikas column Life, Interrupted HERE Read Suleikas blog, secretsofcancerhood HERE

There's something romantic about summers in New York City. The reputedly isolated community seems to come together, emerging from overly air conditioned apartments and offices to embrace the hot, balmy evenings. Restaurants spill out onto pavements, bars are packed and buzzing and Central Park (and all parks) come alive. Outdoor film showings are in full force. Every Monday Bryant Park's vast grassy lawn fills up with people eager to catch one of the summer film festivals carefully curated choices. Bring little picnics and a bottle of wine, and find a spot as the sun goes down. One of our favorite classics, Billy Wilder's 'A Foreign Affair' will show on Monday 29th July. Glamorous comedy and romance in post-war occupied Berlin, Marlene Dietrich and Jean Arthur give outstanding performances. Surrounded by happy, murmuring people, as the temperature cools and the film rolls, you'll find yourself taken to another era. Monday, July 29th - Bryant Park, 41 W 40th St. New York, NY 10018 The lawn opens at 5:00 pm for blankets and picnicking. Films begin at sunset (typically between 8pm and 9pm).

The photos are intimate, haunting, the kind of images that leave an imprint long after you've walked away.
That's Lisa Boccard's intent. She wants you to stare, to ask why and how.
The Cure Package, an exhibit of 15 studio portraits at the ACND Gallery of Art at Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep, is a story of survival, a tale of change — and a narrative that has many chapters left yet. Its opening coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Shot more than 20 years ago by Miami photographer Lynn Parks, the photographs feature a young Boccard — bald, scarred, with medicine bottles and next to a wig-wearing mannequin. The images are stark, in unforgiving black and white, with the last one in color, symbolizing triumph.
"This was a personal journey for me," says Boccard, now 51 and living in Coral Springs. "I wanted to find a way for my friends and family to see me as something other than a patient."
The idea to be photographed was an act of courage. Back then breast cancer patients hid their scars and spoke little of their surgeries. "She was truly a pioneer in wanting other women to know," recalls Parks, who has photographed several breast cancer patients since Boccard. "It's more common now, with social media and everything, but it was very unusual back then. Women just didn't do that."
The photographs proved to be a launch pad for Boccard, who became active in breast cancer advocacy even as she struggled through treatment. In fact, two years into a fight for her life, Boccard spent months collecting signatures for a 1993 petition to then-President Bill Clinton, urging him to make breast cancer a national priority. As an active member of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, and then a co-founder of the Florida Breast Cancer Coalition, she knocked on doors and approached restaurant diners for their John Hancocks. She spoke to whatever group would have her. In 1994, she posed on the cover of Copy, a national magazine for cancer patients.
In 2003, one of Lisa's older brothers, Vince Boccard, the current Coral Springs mayor, and his wife, Terry, founded the Lisa Boccard/Coral Springs Breast Cancer Foundation, with Lisa devoting hours of volunteer work. They eventually approached Broward Health Coral Springs to become their healthcare partner in an ambitious goal to offer free mammograms to women unable to afford them. Eventually that mission was expanded to also provide breast care treatment to financially needy women. So far the fund has provided more than 1,000 mammograms in Broward and identified 54 women with breast cancer. It has also funded follow-up treatment.
Advocacy has become Lisa's way of healing. Five years ago, she moved from her longtime home in Miami to Coral Springs to devote more time to what is now the Lisa Boccard Breast Cancer Fund.
"I didn't grow up like other people to be a judge or a lawyer," Boccard says. "I grew up to become an advocate."
The photo exhibit, which premiered almost two decades ago at the Towers of Quayside, a residential community in Northeast Miami-Dade, fits into Boccard's mission to help other women in their fight against breast cancer. The marketing and gallery curator at Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep chose the collection to kick off the school's artist alumni series — Boccard graduated from Notre Dame in 1980 — because she was fascinated by Boccard's story.

Press Release - Henrob Launches State of the Art Fastener Feeding Technology
Posted: 2010-12-15 09:38:23
Henrob, a pioneer of modern day self-pierce riveting, is to roll out a revolutionary new technique for feeding fasteners to robotic riveting systems.
Henrob's MagFeedTM technology completely eliminates the well documented problems of feeding loose rivets to robot mounted riveting tools. The difficulty of dressing conventional blow feed tubes connecting the bulk fastener supply to the riveting tool on a robot arm is designed out, thereby removing the single most unreliable feature at a stroke. It also allows the robot far greater freedom to articulate and improves cycle time over conventional blow feed technology.
Keith Jones, Henrob's CEO comments: "This technology is seen by automotive manufacturers as a major step forward and has been very warmly received. In fact, Henrob have already won a substantial contract from a major European OEM, and, with strong interest from others who wish to evaluate the technology, this is set to become our fastest growing new product."
Roger Doo, Engineering Director, explains "By making use of the dead time during component transfer between a cell or station on a typical automotive assembly line, we rapidly load the desired quantity of rivets to the magazine allowing the robotic riveting tool to maintain continuous, uninterrupted production. Very positive feedback from product trials has lead us to develop several tool configurations including a variant supplying two different rivet types to the same riveting tool. These variants offer particular solutions for rationalisation of the process resulting in reductions of the overall tool count. This benefit, combined with the secondary reduction effect on related facilities, such as quantity of robots and floor space, can result in substantial savings in investment.
In the the late 1990's, we could see how these ideas might be important for the advancement of our riveting technology so we began work on the concepts and applied for patent protection. The technology has been refined over several years with the assistance of feedback from field trials of prototype systems. We are pleased, just this month, to have been granted a significant method patent, US 7,849,579, covering aspects of the technology. The important patented features include delivery of fasteners to the riveting tool in two stages with the first stage being delivery to a magazine buffer and the second stage delivering from the buffer to the riveting tool, the buffer being docked/undocked from the rivet supply by the robot."

"Sir Stack a Lot," the state of the art box stacking robot at the Port Hardy Processing (PHPP) on northern Vancouver Island, will have a friend to share the work with by the end of summer 2012.
In September 2010 PHPP installed an automated robot to organize, handle and stack the boxes of market ready salmon and ice onto pallets in preparation for shipment. The first robot was so successful in reducing the amount of back and shoulder injuries commonly associated with box stacking, that a second, identical one was announced in the spring by Dave Pashley, PHPP Processing Director and Plant Manager.
This second robot, who name has yet to be chosen, gives PHPP the capacity to reduce manually stacking of boxes by approximately 85%, a huge step forward for the company's health and safety program. The expectation is for further reduction and the potential elimination of all injuries related to box stacking, one of the most physically demanding jobs in the plant.
"These robots are common in Norway but not in Canada," said Blaine Tremblay, PHPP Health and Safety Manager. "Sir Stack a Lot" was a first not only for our company but for Canada's aquaculture industry. MHC remains the only company operating this hi-tech piece of equipment, added Blaine.
Employees at PHPP manually lift boxes filled with salmon and ice that routinely weigh upwards of 75 lbs and stack them as low as 4 inches off the ground and more than 6 feet
high. Between 5,000 and 6,000 boxes are moved daily. "Sir Stack a Lot" has reduced our manual handling for this job by 45% on any given day and also sharply reduced injuries."
The process starts with the programming of the robot for each of the eight pallet locations it can reach. As each box enters the robot zone, it is scanned via bar code reader and
communicates to the robot what size range of fish the box contains. Based on this information, the robot knows which pallet to place the box on.
As the robot stacks the boxes it keeps track of each one and how it's placed in preparation for the next box. It's essential to keep the boxes stable and as a result, "Sir Stack a Lot" follows a chimney block stacking pattern and knows where exactly each box must be placed to maintain this specific stacking pattern.
The robot gripper picks up each styrofoam box off a conveyor with the correct amount of grip strength to lift, rotate and stack while ensuring that it doesn't break the styrofoam boxes and still placing it within millimeters of the other boxes. Once the pallet is full, the robot lifts up an empty pallet and holds it above the completed stack while it waits for a trained operator to remove the stack and restart the process.
The staff maintenance electrician at PHPP is fully trained in updating the robot's software and hardware components. However, should the need arise, today's technology allows for access from Iceland via the Internet for any necessary trouble shooting. Maintenance on Sir Stack a Lot and his soon to arrive friend is limited to replacing cylinders in the grippers.

Molested Puppies…in care of Eagles Den Rescue
Image by Beverly & Pack
FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY, these three puppies sodomized by a human!
My name is Charity. My life began about 6 months ago. I was one of a litter of several and knew nothing of the world or the people in it. I knew my mother and warmth and hunger. I knew one day something was wrong when I was ripped from my mother with two of my sisters.
We were hurt in ways we did not understand and could not make sense of what was wanted or expected of us. You see, we were born American Pit Bull Terriers and those who may not understand; we are a very loyal breed. We want only to please those who feed and care for us.
Ideally, we would be nurtured and our sharp instincts used for wonderful things, like rescuing small children who have wandered away from a campground, or tunneling through debris at a World Trade Center when bad men do horrid things.But I was born into a world that does not understand us. The most decorated Army dog ever was my kind, and now… well… now they want to kill us all I understand.
I am not so sure what it is that makes people hate us so. I know we grow into dogs with a powerful bite and we can do a lot of damage. But, basically, we will do what it is we are trained to do. If we are with a kind person, and we learn kindness from an early age, we can be the best friends ever. Some of us have an instinct that makes us what is called animal aggressive, and I know that is not such a good thing when we need to get along in a family. I was never aggressive. I never harmed anyone or anything… and neither did my two sisters, Faith and Hope. But because of what we are, bad people like to take us and make us do bad things. And those bad people make a lot of other humans hate us for what we are trained to do. But that is another story, sort of… though that story is the reason why things happened to us as they did.
Our birth was brought about by one of those bad people with bad intentions. And the more people hate us, the more those bad people want us and the worse they treat us. And it is ok because we are just "Pit Bulls" and "Dumb Dogs." They do not seem to understand that we feel pain, we feel when someone hates us, and we do not want to be hurt. So … that is the world we were born into, but we did not understand all of that then. We just understood we had been ripped from our mother; we could not eat because we had no teeth; and, worse … the man who bred us had a teenage son that was doing really bad things to us.
I later learned that it was called sexual molestation, sodomy, or bestiality. I just knew that it hurt and I could hear my sisters crying when he would hurt them. Faith was so small and I tried really hard to protect her. I cannot tell you how many times this happened, though it could not have been many or we would not have lived. But it was enough to hurt us. One day the boy was seen hurting us and his father saw what was happening too. He rushed us to this place called the County Animal Shelter.
I think we were supposed to be killed there and no one would ever question what happened, because most "Pits" that go into a place like that do not come out alive. But this was a good place with people who did care.The man told them the big dog down the road had "gotten to us." I guess they figured that is how we got all those bite marks all over our bodies where the other dogs were allowed to hurt us. But they noticed there that we were very, very still, huddled together … and we would not eat.
I was very worried about my sisters. And they seemed to look to me. Then this woman and man came and got us and took us to a place called The Eagle's Den.
After that, things changed.They call it rescue, and I am glad we were rescued. I wish all of my kind could be because it gives us a chance. But… anyway… we saw a vet and he sort of guessed at what had happened to us. But the man was not punished, nor his son. All I know is there is something called an investigation into all those bad people and they really want to catch them all. They should. And I hope one day there will be some justice for me and my sisters.
But the people will have to work that out because well… we are just dogs.And our story has not ended. Well, mine has, at least there where it hurt every time I went to the bathroom, but where life was so good I did not let on that I was hurting.
You see, one day I just felt funny and then I went to sleep. I can remember wet tears on my face as the man and woman held me and I knew they were going to try and save me again. But I was just so tired. After having been in pain for so long and knowing my sisters were I just went to sleep and came to a place called Rainbow Bridge. It is very nice here. I have a lot of friends here. There are all kinds of dogs and many of my kind, many that were hurt like I was, and killed.And I can watch over Faith and Hope here.
They have had surgery now to help them. After I came here everyone knew we were not alright. We were rambunctious pups, yes. And we were scared pups because of all we went through. All we really wanted was a friend and to play and be happy. I am rooting for Faith and Hope now and I watch over them from here. They had the surgery they needed to fix the pain. They may not understand the pain they are in right now, but it will get better now.
There are a lot of people upset because of what happened to us. And I am very glad they are upset. If I could tell them anything that would help: make it stop; but not just this man. Make it all stop. Get the people who make laws to write some that will protect us. What happened to us is against the law. That is a fact. But there are no federal laws to help us, and they get away with it time and again.
Anyone who wants to see how often this happens, just type the word Canine sexual molestation into your computers and look. But you only see the cases that get reported. And not much happens in those cases.
Even when they kill us, not much happens. So if you want to help, if you want it to stop … there is only one way. Make it illegal all over the United States. Make uniform laws so that all animal abuse carries mandatory sentences. Other countries protect their companion animals. If you guys who have prayed so hard and whose love I feel so strongly want to help … make it stop. Make them hear you. They have never heard us.
Faith's surgery went really well, even though she was the sickest. Hope had hers today and she is doing ok now. Ironically, Hope may have already been here at Rainbow Bridge, but some of the abuse actually saved her. When they did her surgery, they found a piece of metal in her intestines, surrounded by flesh. It was blocking a tear. They had to cut off a lot more of her intestines than they did Faith's, but she will be ok now … I HOPE. That piece of metal stopped poison from spilling into her body at least, even though it did damage, it helped her to stay alive long enough to get the surgery to save her life.
I am watching, and I am hoping this will make people wake up and realize what goes on with us when we are bred for all the wrong reasons. I hope people will stop punishing our breed for what these people do and realize what we go through. I wish they all could be rescued. I wish there was no reason to rescue.There is one more thing I have seen since I came to Rainbow Bridge.
All of you are very caring and good people. My sisters were able to have their surgery because people cared enough to help them live. They have a long way to go, but thank you for helping them.I'll be watching… and one day I will see all of you here at the Bridge; because I am everyone's dog who had a part in saving my sisters.
Thank You.
Update: The surgeries are over and Faith and Hope are doing wonderful. They will be coming home to be monitored by our local vet. This makes far more sense, and though it really scared me at first, I realize I will be scared whenever…after what happened with Charity. The hospital they are in is extremely expensive, and the vet told me that with them doing this well, he thinks the aftercare would best be monitored here, where they can be with the family they have always known.
Now we get to pay the bill. The initial surgery, with a huge discount for a rescue…was 00, and the cost has been about 0 a day for their aftercare. We are aware that we did get a huge break on the bill when we hear others at the hospital talking about the cost of their pet's surgery there. We would have done the surgery without the discount, but having it helped. It also allowed us to keep the two there for the 7 days of aftercare.
We appreciate all of your prayers and the concerns and well wishes we have received. This is the next logical step, and we are excited about it.
If you would like to help cover the cost of the surgery and aftercare:
Or if you would prefer to make a donation via Pay Pal, all donations are tax deductable and go 100% to the animals we care for.
Contributions can also be made directly to our vet at
Thanks you… and we hope we will have your support as we work on "Charity's Law." A bill that will hopefull make animal abuse a felony.
Please share the story of these three…

Flying in southern Florida, especially along the Florida Keys, is a unique experience. Leaving south from the Miami airspace, the view following U.S. 1 is breathtaking. From the air, the Keys are a wash of emerald green set against the turquoise blue water. The picturesque reefs, beautiful beaches, opulent resorts, unique homes and private islands are mesmerizing.
There are plenty of reasons to stop at Marathon, Florida and the Florida Keys Marathon Airport (KMTH). It's strategically located approximately 75 nm southwest of the city of Miami and 40 nm east of Key West. If traveling during the first week of March, the family friendly Original Marathon Seafood Festival, begun in 1976, is a must. Naturalists can enjoy the Marathon Wild Bird Center, swim with the dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center, visit the unique Marathon Turtle Hospital or learn about being green at the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
If coming from the north, Duck Key is the 10 nm visual check point for the airport while the impressive Seven Mile Bridge is a good check point if coming from the south. Make the appropriate position call over the CTAF and plan on over-flying the airport to check on the cantankerous ocean breezes and the ever present jet traffic. After greasing the landing, tie-down at one of the FBOs and get ready for an only in the Keys type of experience.
Marathon General Aviation is located just off of the approach end of runway 25. This friendly, customer service oriented FBO offers all the basic services, facilities and amenities. What sets Marathon GA apart is their extremely knowledgeable staff that rivals the concierge service at any 5-star hotel. Additionally, the Marathon airport houses the Marathon Jet Center, another full service FBO, specializing in corporate airplanes and jets.
There are over two dozen restaurants in Marathon with ocean views and that friendly, laid back "island style". If there is only time for one, take the short 2.2 mile hop east of MTH on U.S. 1 North to the Island Fish Company, Tiki Bar & Restaurant. Situated right on the water, the restaurant is a $5 cab ride from the airport. Better yet, borrow the courtesy car available at the Marathon Jet Center or take the free weekend courtesy shuttle service provided by Marathon GA.
Located at Mile Marker 54, the Island Fish Company exemplifies the everything-to-everyone mentality. They have spectacular views from the expansive outside deck. They have the longest air conditioned tiki bar in the Keys and an open and airy full-service three-meal a day restaurant. For those traveling via the water, the on-site marina allows boaters to pull up, dock, and come in and eat. And for those rotary inclined, there's even an FAA approved heliport located at northern tip of the property.
The menu is extensive, protein heavy and divided up into more than a dozen categories. Seafood is king in the Keys. Steer clear of steaks and poultry and stick with what comes from the near by waters. Start with an offering from the Raw Bar. It's easy to make a meal out of items such as the Key West Pink Gold Peel & Eat Shrimp (½ pound - $10.95), Gulf Oysters on the Half Shell (½ dozen - $5.70) or the sharable Seafood Tower ($49.95). This humongous, multilayered plate consists of a pound of Key West Pink Shrimp, half dozen Gulf oysters and Indian River clams on the half shell and a pound of Florida Keys Stone Crab claws. The shellfish is fresh, refreshing, briny and tastes like the ocean.
The Island's kitchen staff has mastered the art of deep frying. The fritters, fried fish and shellfish sandwiches and the fried Island platters ($8.95-$14.95) are light and crispy without being greasy and flabby. The sauté cooks also know what they're doing. They shine when producing rich, gooey and cheesy quesadillas ($6.95-$12.95). They're also deft at pastas. The choices range from the very Italian flavored tomato and olive oil based Pasta Basilico ($13.95) to several pastas with various incarnations of Key West Pink shrimp ($17.95-$22.95).

In the old days in Coudersport, a tiny Pennsylvania town at the northern edge of Appalachia, if you had trouble with your cable hookup, you simply called John Rigas to come over and fix it. If you needed a loan, or a few bucks for a local charity drive, you darn sure called him too. There didn't seem to be anyone in this town of 2,600 that Rigas wouldn't help, or didn't like, which is maybe why Rigas seemed cut from the same cloth as his idol, the pundit Will Rogers. Rigas's other hero was Sam Walton, and like the folksy Walton, Rigas built his company, Adelphia Communications, from scratch into a giant corporation.
This sort of story has become so familiar in recent years that you almost don't have to add the kicker. Yes, it all came tumbling down. Yes, Rigas's company failed, and Rigas himself, along with two of his sons, is sitting in the dock, accused of the worst case of looting of any C.E.O. of the Enron era.

Yeah, that thread is pretty outdated. It also states that there isn't a limit on song length even though it's been confirmed that it's 10 minutes.
so did anybody actually download the songs?

My apologies for posting my opinion late; the site that your songs are hosted on wasn't loading for me yesterday.
Anyway, I'm just going to list quick opinions on each instrument and how I feel that they will translate into the game:
Bass - The bass in all of the songs sounds quite average, but that may just be because I have a poor ear for bass guitars. Hopefully the charts will be fun.
Drums - The high point of these songs (by far). Your drummer knows how to do fills nicely. This, if anything, would be the reason why I buy any of these songs in game (especially The Stranger)
Guitar - Nothing too spectacular, but some interesting chords thrown in there. I do like listening to it.
Vocals - The low point of the songs for me. The vocals seem quite toned down and boring, although the lyrics seem well-hashed out. Also, the lyrics seem a tad lazy. Now, I'm a vocalist in general, so I'm probably ragging harder on this aspect more than I should be, but it is my opinion. As for the in-game chart, I don't the pitch highway being too complicated and/or interesting (but I've been wrong before).
Overall - Decent songs, although the vocals really do me in. I'll have to wait until the charts come out before I consider purchasing them.
Thanks for the free songs!

First off, no problem! i have no qualms about giving away my songs, if i could, i would make them free on RBN as well.
As for your opinions, i think your going to be pleasantly surprised by what the bass holds in store for you. "The Stranger" has got some nifty bass work hidden in the song, while "For The Strange" bass is pretty heavy, and its got a pretty syncopated rhythm. The best bass song is "Killers of the Worst Type". The main bass riff is fun as hell to play (at least when i tracked it haha). its going to be quite difficult.
Guitar is what i base all of my songs around, so those are the most inventive usually. "The Stranger" is going to surprise you, its pretty difficult. The other songs are a little easier, but definitely will be fun to play.
Drums are difficult on all songs. "The Stranger" has the hardest ones by far (if its not devil heads i dont know what is). The other songs are at least tier 4 and 5 . very difficult rolls in there.
Yeah, i can say that the vocals are not anything special, the way i sing is a lower croon, and i dont have total confidence in my upper range, so thats what give the vocals that lazy sound. so from a vocalist standpoint i understand your hesitance to buy the songs.
but i do appreciate you posting your opinions, this is what i love about these forums. thanks for downloading! would love to hear if your thoughts have changed after reading this... perhaps another listening is in order?

The 40 MSP was an incremental measurement, not an end to measure. Not quite the question I asked, since it's been mentioned that $1 is the minimum.
*nods* So there's no $1.50- or $2.50-equivalent songs. That answers my question. Guess I should have been more clear on the question. Thanks.
Can that FAQ be updated to include all the new info that's surfaced since its last edit?

Levi's comes out with 'Red Tag' phone
It's hard enough to distinguish a new product in the ridiculously crowded mobile phone market, and even more so when it comes from an outsider--such as a clothing company. But rather than just make another phone whose only difference is a logo, Levi's is at least trying something different that capitalizes on one of the trademarks of its jeans: the red tab. No, it's not a cloth tag sticking out of the keypad, but a red section of the limited edition "Red Tab" phone being sold by French retailer Colette for 550 euros (about $870).… Read more

Mike 'The Situation' In Nike Air Yeezy "Net"
July 3rd, 2012 by John Kim | 14 comments
The reality of Jersey Shore is that this group of party-hard Italians that everyone loved to openly hate (and secretly love) has made such an impressionable mark in the turn-of-the-decade era of pop culture. Even if you've never subjected yourself to one minute of Jersey Shore footage, there's a hefty chance that you know who (or what) 'The Situation' is; the loud-mouthed frat-boy turned celebrity is certainly one of the more memorable characters of the show, and his recent sighting with the 'Net' colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy should garner him some props (or more likely, the opposite) from the sneaker community. More of The Situation in Yeezys below, so take a look and let us know what you think. Photos: starcasm

Nintendo unveils new Wii U GamePad
Nintendo unveiled a new Wii U GamePad today that sports a near-field communications reader and that can be used as a TV remote.
The new game console tablet features a 6.2-inch touch-sensitive screen and a fully independent infrared TV remote, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed during a streamed presentation (see below) in advance of this week's E3 game conference. Known mostly for use in electronic wallets, the NFC technology in the GamePad will be able to read and write data from cards and figures.

I thank Bettye Best ("Mental-health-care system is struggling, Jan. 11) and Ann M. Seren ("City could lead way to safety, good health," Dec. 20) for their letters to the editor about the sad state of affairs regarding our mental-health system here in Ohio and the recent cuts that have been made.
This is an urgent need; many families are suffering for lack of support and services that could make this very difficult road a little easier. Thankfully, we have the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), which offers free services in the form of educational programs and information for families dealing with this very challenging situaltion.
I encourage those in need to contact NAMI-Franklin County or the state or national organization for help, or to give some support for the incredible work they do.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease. It most often first appears between the ages of 15 and 35. Psoriasis affects nearly equal numbers of men and women. In people with this disease, the skin grows too fast. Dead skin cells build up on the skin's surface to form inflamed, thick, silvery scales called plaques. Psoriasis does not spread from person to person. But what causes this disease is unknown.
Psoriasis plaques tend to form on the elbows, knees, scalp, navel, arms, or legs. They can be unsightly, painful, and itchy. Plaques on the joints can limit movement. On the fingernails or toenails, psoriasis can cause pitting, a change in nail color, and a change in nail shape. In some cases, psoriasis also causes arthritis-like symptoms. Symptoms may come and go on their own. Factors such as stress, climate change, infection, and certain medications may cause flare-ups. If symptoms bother you, know that medical treatment can help relieve them. Discuss your treatment options with your doctor.
There are many types of external medical treatments. These are used on the outside of your body. Your doctor may prescribe one of many types of topical medications, which are put on your skin. Or, coal tar (a thick black liquid) may be applied. In some cases, the skin may be exposed to a special light in the doctor's office. Or, you can lie in the sun as directed by your doctor. This method is called phototherapy, which can be enhanced with the use of psoralen (a type of medication).
Internal treatments are taken orally (by mouth) or given by injection. There are a number of oral medications. Your doctor can tell you more about these treatments.

Hi everyone,
I want to buy a game pretty soon, and would like to know if you guys have any tips for me.
I was thinking of Resident evil OP RC, but I am not so sure. I just finished Prototype 2.
on 29-05-2012 09:44 PM
depends what your tastes are really. I've heard mixed things about REORC, some people love the multi player element and ive spoken to hardcore RE fans who have said its utter garbage. Im not a fan of of action based RE games myself and preferred the older games of the psone era.
Next game im getting is darksiders 2, but thats not out till august.
on 31-05-2012 05:24 PM
Yea thats the problem. There are so many different kinds of reviews that I don´t know which reviews to believe.
I haven´t even played the first darksiders
I don´t really have a taste when it comes to video games. I play what seems good, as long as its not a sports game. (Why play fifa street when I can play football on the street?)
I think I might trade in a few games and just get Resi, then I can use the moey I save to buy a good game later. Not sure which one thou. I played Warhawk long ago, maybe Starhawk would be an option.
on 31-05-2012 09:28 PM
If your thinking of getting Operation Racoon City for the co-op then i would recommend Borderlands if you havent played it (Game Of The Year edition preferably) its my favourite co-op game of all time just for the pure fun of it and Borderlands 2 is out this year which will be awesome
other than that i would recommend all 3 Uncharted games if you want to play arguably the best story driven adventure games ever plus The Last Of Us is out in november i think and thats made by the same people so if you enjoy the Uncharted trilogy theres no doubt thats a game you should have on your radar

That's a good starting point - and it's cheap now, too. And just as you finish it, the sequel will come out. Perfect.

I'll echo this. this. this. this..
Another voice in favour of Darksiders.
on 03-06-2012 11:32 AM
ok, wow.I didn´t think so many people liked the first darksiders game. Is it open world? Not that its important.
I bought Borderlands as soon as it was released

It has large environments similar to Borderlands. But also has indoor/linear type levels as well.
Just check some videos out on youtube to get a feel for the game and to see if you like what you see
on 06-06-2012 04:16 PM
It's kind of open world in the same way Zelda is - run around where you want then go in a linear "dungeon", although I don't recall there being a single actual dungeon.
