If you don't have Greek yogurt in the fridge, chances are you've never tried it. In the last few years it has become the grocery aisles' newest and biggest star. It's so appealing because it's richer and creamier, and it's really good for you. There are many brands of Greek yogurts, and Chobani is the biggest seller. More familiar names like Yoplait are trying to get in on the Greek yogurt craze. But there is an issue with that. Traditional Greek yogurt makers say Yoplait and others like it are "imitations." A class-action complaint claims they cut corners by using food additives, and say it is not real Greek yogurt. Ron Marks owns Atlanta Fresh Yogurt. By any standard, he makes traditional Greek yogurt. He's closely watching a legal battle over which yogurts can be called Greek yogurt. "You're getting hoodwinked," said Marks.Greek yogurt uses a labor intensive process of straining that helps make it more tart and creamy than regular yogurt. It tastes great, and nutritionists love it. It contains nearly three times the protein as regular yogurt, and probiotics are good for stomach health. Even though it can cost twice as much as the leading regular yogurt, people are scooping up the Greek stuff like it's ice cream. Chobani, Stonyfield's Oikos, Voskos and Fage claim to make Greek yogurt the old-fashioned, traditional way. Big name regular yogurt companies like Yoplait have their own version too. They say their high protein yogurt is Greek too. But the lawsuit claims no way. The real story is on the back of the label. Chobani is the number one selling Greek yogurt. Purists claim before fruit is added it should only have two ingredients: pasteurized milk and active cultures. Yoplait Greek Fat Free is named in the lawsuit. On the ingredients label of the yogurt, active cultures are listed, but the amount is less than half of the five listed on the Chobani Greek yogurt. Pasteurized milk is listed, as is corn starch, lemon juice, and milk protein concentrate. "Gives it the protein but it gives it none of the true probiotic benefit that live, active Greek yogurt cultures will add to the yogurt," said Marks.The lawsuit claims that calling Yoplait Greek yogurt "Greek" is "deceptive." It goes further by saying the milk protein means it's not even really yogurt. General Mills, who owns Yoplait, told the I-Team Greek yogurt only means that it's "thick and high in protein." "Reading the labels will tell the whole story of whether you're getting a true, quality, traditionally made product or something that is brought to you by the hand of a food scientist or a food chemist taking short cuts," said Marks.The FDA says it has no standard right now for what "Greek Yogurt" is. At this point they consider it a marketing term. The federal lawsuit against Yoplait is seeking class action status. The court has not ruled.

Oh... my heart skipped a beat when I saw the beautiful photo of Hivart's father playing his violin. It is a truely vintage photo done in sepia tones. I was delighted to find that I had Maria Designs - Bouquet de Music kit in my stash. I wanted a monochromatic page so that the beautiful and precious photo took center stage... so to speak.
Image is linked.
Cath, thanks for being my partner in this fun swap. And thanks to Els for hosting it, too.
BTW, if any one needs to find kits with music elements/papers, do a 'search' in the shoppe using the word 'music'. I was amazed to see the many kits that have music in them!!

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Family and friends in Tiffin said their final goodbyes to the six people who died in a fire over the weekend.
Anna Angel buried her four daughters at First Lutheran Church Thursday morning. The girls died Sunday morning after their mobile home caught fire. The State Fire Marshal's Office says the investigation is still ongoing and a cause is undetermined at this time.
Hundreds gathered to remember 6-year-old Tiara Angel, 5-year-old Stormie Huey, 4-year-old Trinitie Huey and 3-year-old Sunshine Huey. The bodies of all four little girls shared a single casket, laying in the same way friends and family members say they slept.
"She lost her whole, entire life in a very short amount of time," said Christine Courtney, program coordinator with First Call for Help.
The message of the service was healing through unity: the act of simply being together and supporting each other to get through this tragedy.
"When a tragedy like this happens, the community comes together. And the Tiffin community has been incredible," said Keith Hodkinson, spokesperson for the Angel family.
During the service, friends and family read poems and shared memories of the children. Pastor Mark Boedecker spoke on how all five children led happy and loving lives. He mentioned how they were always smiling, and urged everyone to continue smiling in their memory.
Greenlawn Cemetery in Tiffin has gifted a plot of land for the children to be laid to rest.
After the morning ceremony finished, friends and family drove to Sandusky for the services of Angel's boyfriend, 25-year-old Timothy Fresch, along with their 2-year-old son, Domonic.
"This is the time she is going to need her family and her friends, and quite honestly, the community, to not forget about what happened," said Courtney.
Representatives from a local outreach group have been with the family since Monday, and are confident Angel and other family members will be able to get through this tragedy together.
"She has to go through the grieving process, and as I had said, she has an amazing support system. And once she gets through the grieving process, it's just a matter of rebuilding. And you know, Anna is so strong, and I think that she'll be OK," said Courtney.
A candlelight vigil will be held at the Tiffin Police and Fire All Patriots Memorial Friday night at dusk or 9 p.m., whichever is first. People are asked to bring their own candles to the vigil, if able. A jar will be at the vigil for those who wish to donate. Money will be placed in the fund set up at U.S. Bank.
Donations can also be dropped off at the Burger King on West Market Street in Tiffin, where Angel works.

Build Your Own European-Style Charm Bracelet and Charm Beads
Your Bracelet, Just How You Like It
- Choose from 3 bracelet lengths (with removable toggle for adding beads) and 20 different beads.
- Many designs you can find only at ThinkGeek.
- You have to order Bracelet and Charms Separately
Your Bracelet, Just How You Like It
To see all our charm beads, click here.
We've always liked the concept of charm bracelets. The idea that you get a tiny object to wear that commemorates an event or reminds you of something special makes us happy. The trick is that with this most recent style of popular bracelets, we've never found anything that really clicked for us. "I could get the faceted glass bead in my birthstone color, and it'd go with a lot of stuff I wear." "Sure, that one with the vines on it is pretty, but it isn't really ME." There wasn't anything out there that allowed us to express our inner geek divas.
And then it struck us. We're ThinkGeek. We could create a line of geek-appropriate beads ourselves! And thus this bracelet was born.
One of our favorite things about these bracelets is that you build them yourself, so the final piece of jewelry really is uniquely yours. If you just consider buying one of each of the beads below and the bracelet, you can stack them in 2,432,902,008,176,640,000 different combinations.
Not that you'd want to, mind you, but you could. The mathematical potential is there. So let's tell you a little about each of them:
- Bling Mushroom Bead - A ThinkGeek Exclusive! A super-sparkly, sterling silver mushroom with pavé green and clear crystals on the cap. 14mm along the bracelet, 5mm hole.
- Camera Charm - A classically-styled camera with a tiny rhinestone that adds sparkle to the "lens". Silver-plated pewter. 10mm along the bracelet, 4.5mm hole.
- Celtic Knot Bead - A pretty little spacer that lets you express your love of Celtic design or woven things. Silver-plated pewter. 5mm along the bracelet, 4.5mm hole.
- Claddagh Bead - Three of the iconic Irish symbol (hands, heart, and crown) encircle this bead, all pointing the same direction, so you can still turn it toward you or away from you as appropriate. Silver-plated pewter. 9mm along the bracelet, 4.5mm hole.
- Companion Cube Bead - A ThinkGeek Exclusive! An officially-licensed Portal product! The tiniest Companion Cube EVAR. Sterling-silver with pink enamel hearts and a rhodium coating to prevent tarnishing. 9mm along the bracelet, 5mm hole.
- d20 Clip - A ThinkGeek Exclusive! Tiny replica of a d20 with numbers engraved on each side. Hollow, sterling silver bead clips around the bracelet; with larger-diameter bracelets functions as a stopper bead. 10mm along the bracelet, 4mm hole.
- DIY Nut Bead - That one leftover nut for lovers of DIY. From our friends at Ohm. Sterling silver. 4.75mm hole.
- DIY Screw Bead - Phillips-head screw bent to wrap around your bracelet. From our friends at Ohm. Sterling Silver. 4.75mm hole.
- Doctor Who Silver TARDIS Bead - A ThinkgGeek Exclusive! Tiny TARDIS in all silver. Zinc alloy core with high polish nickel free plating. 4.5mm hole.
- Firefly Serenity Bead - A ThinkGeek Exclusive! Serenity with yellow enamel on the Firefly drive and blue-green rhinestones for the nacelles. Zinc alloy with rhodium plating. 4.5mm hole.
- Knight Bead - Tiny but fierce. Sterling silver knight bust wields shield and sword. From our friends at Ohm. 10mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole.
- Latte (He)art - For lovers of coffee. A solid sterling silver cup of latte with concentric hearts traced in the foam. From our friends at Ohm. 13mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole.
- My Computer Bead - A happy computer that many of us remember fondly. Sterling silver set with a single green crystal where the branding would be and a tiny slot for disks. Even has the ports etched on the back. From our friends at Ohm. 12mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole.
- Screen Burn Bead - Deep, dark sparkle you're not likely to find elsewhere. A laboratory-created opal rondelle glitters with midnight blues and Matrix greens. Core is sterling silver. 6mm along the bracelet, 5mm hole.
- Sea Urchin Bead - We got this because it reminds us of a sea urchin test (the round inner shell). Full disclosure: it's got 6 plates instead of fivefold symmetry. Mutant sea urchin! Even better. Silver-plated pewter with clear crystals. 5mm along the bracelet, 4.5mm hole.
- Space Lampwork Bead - A ThinkGeek Exclusive! Black lampwork glass with blue dichroic flecks to mimic stars, which is appropriate since dichroic glass was developed by NASA for use in the space program. Core is sterling silver. 9mm along the bracelet, 4.5 mm hole.
- Sparkly Sprockets Bead - For lovers of steampunk and makers alike. Silver gear with clear crystals filling the spaces between the teeth. Sterling silver. 4mm along the bracelet, 4.7 mm hole.
- Steampunk Gears Bead - Shiny and black cogs interlaced, as if it's been pulled from the heart of some machine. Sterling silver. From our friends at Ohm. 4.75mm hole.
- Super Mom Bead - An iconic shape for a Super Mom. Sterling silver insignia has an oversized M on one side and the words "Super Mom" and a heart on the reverse. From our friends at Ohm. 11mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole.
- Timmy Charm - A ThinkGeek Exclusive! ThinkGeek Timmy in solid sterling silver. Front has Timmy's features; back is convex and undecorated. Timmy measures 16mm ear to ear and 14mm crown to chin. Total length from top of holder 24mm. Charm holder measures 2mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole.
- Unicorn Tears Bead - Pastel sparkle you're not likely to find elsewhere. A laboratory-created opal rondelle glitters with cotton candy pink and lavender mist, just like real unicorn tears. Core is sterling silver. 6mm along the bracelet, 5mm hole.
- Union Jack Bead - Anglophiles unite! Funky cyan and blazing red enamel lines cover this sterling silver bead, mimicing the flag of the United Kingdom. 8mm along the bracelet, 5 mm hole.
- Wizarding Hat Bead - The sort of hat a young wizard might wear in a banquet hall. Sterling silver floppy, pointed, brimmed hat. From our friends at Ohm. 14mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole.
- Winged Unicorn - Call it a pegacorn, a unipeg, an alicorn, or just Princess Celestia. Silver-plated pewter. 9mm along the bracelet, 4.5mm hole.
- Bacon Charm - Bacon photo charm bead in sterling-silver-covered pewter. 12mm along the bracelet, 4.5mm hole
- 8-Bit Heart Charm - 8-bit heart charm bead in sterling-silver-covered pewter. 13mm along the bracelet, 4.75mm hole
We had these sterling silver bracelets custom made for us with a toggle closure because we think toggles are so much easier to close with one hand than lobster clasps or twisty things or whatnot. Plus, that gives you a bit more play with the sizing. The toggle bar itself attaches with a lobster clasp to allow you to put beads on and take them off. The chain is 3mm in diameter, which means it fits basically all major brands of bead, whether they have threads or not: PANDORA, Chamilia, and Biagi (sorry, Troll folks). So if you have beads but want the toggle bracelet with Timmy, chances are your beads will fit on this bracelet. Conversely, if you have a bracelet but want more beads, these beads have really large holes and will fit all major brands of bracelet (including Troll). We have compatibility issues every day with our computers. We don't need them with our jewelry.
When choosing a bracelet size, measure tightly where your wrist is widest and add an inch. That's your "average" bracelet size for a handful of beads (like the image above). If you plan to put lots of beads on the bracelet, order up a size. As you put more beads on, they effectively tighten the bracelet around your wrist. If you plan to highlight just one or two beads, order a size down. If you're ordering a gift for someone whose wrist size you can't get easily, just go with the 7.5". It's the most common. She can use the trick above (putting beads on and taking them off) to get to a length she's comfortable with.
Bracelets and charms come in small, glossy black jewelry boxes, suitable for gifting. The boxes are lined with tarnish-resistant cotton to keep your jewelry shiny longer when not in use.
Product Specifications
- Each bracelet is made of solid sterling silver.
- Toggle closure for easy on-off.
- Choose from 1 of 20 different bead designs. Or get all 20!
- 6 geeky designs you cannot find at your local jewelry store - available only at ThinkGeek!
- Note: The weave of the silver will eventually cause it to stretch. If that happens to a bracelet that used to fit perfectly, pop another bead on.
- Bling Mushroom Bead not for children under 14.
- Contains small parts. Not for children under 3.
For our customers with nickel allergies: the Black Enamel w/Crystals Bead, the Celtic Knot Bead, Winged Unicorn, the Companion Cube Bead, the Knight Bead, the Latte (He)art, the My Computer Bead, the Super Mom Bead, the Unicorn Tears Bead, D20 Clip, and the Wizarding Hat Bead are either nickel-free or have rhodium coatings. The Space Bead contains nickel, but the metal part doesn't touch your skin. All other pieces have small amounts of nickel, low enough to meet the guidelines set forth in EU Nickel Directive 94/27/EC.

Put your trust in Polyform's most versatile and well-known product.
Two valves - the normal polyform inflation valve with the words "AIR IN" next to it, for easy inflation, and a blue colored valve with the words "AIR OUT" molded into the buoy for easy deflation and storage.

Penguins 3D
Penguins 3D
Now Showing - General Audience
Narrated by veteran filmmaker and renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough, "Penguins 3D" celebrates the destiny of a very special King Penguin, who returns to his birthplace in the sub-Antarctic. Known as Penguin City, the island is home to hundreds of albatrosses, fur seals and brawling elephant seals — as well as six million penguins!
Somehow our hero must earn his place among the island inhabitants and fulfill his destiny by finding a mate and raising a family. What follows is the story of the most challenging time in a King Penguin's life, when he is driven to nurture and defend his offspring against harsh weather and fierce predators.
This cosmic drama plays out in one of Earth's last great wildernesses, amid steep mountain ranges and windblown plains half buried beneath snow and ice. "Penguins 3D" is an unforgettable tale of one King Penguin's journey through his species' central rite of passage.
The film was entirely filmed in 3-D, using state-of-the-art technologies, and on location in South Georgia Island, a British overseas territory located in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner launched his campaign for mayor of New York City this week, but his website seems to indicate he is running for office in Pittsburgh.
The stylized and colorized image used in the "Weiner for Mayor" banner shows a bridge and a skyline.
But that's not New York.
The picture is of the Roberto Clemente Bridge in the Steel City, according to several Tweets and blog posts.
Weiner on Wednesday Tweeted the link to his website, saying: "It's a website for my campaign for mayor. Take a look. GoingWithUnderstatementToStart"
He grew up in Brooklyn and may have been going for a Brooklyn Bridge look on his site.
By Thursday afternoon, the Pittsburgh image had been replaced with a more generic-looking skyline evoking New York. That image was then in turn replaced by a set of five photos, each presumably representing each of the five boroughs.
The firm that made the website for Weiner, NGP VAN, took the blame and admitted that it made an "honest mistake."
"Our designer got the image from a set of images that included New York City images, but obviously this image was not of New York City, as the Weiner campaign had requested," John Brougher, of NGP VAN, said in a statement. "With the image behind a strong blue background, our team did not catch this mistake."
In 2011, Weiner resigned from Congress after getting aught sending suggestive photos and messages with women online.

Tackling tough tech in a minute or less. This episode explores Analytical Platforms with Shawn Rogers, VP, BI and Data Warehousing for Enterprise Management Associates
We all know that using data to make decisions is better than relying on assumptions and opinions. But we also know that exercise is better for us than kicking back with a stiff drink and watching television. Is that knowledge enough to make us choose exercise? Not usually -- unless we make a conscious effort to work it into our daily lives. People who exercise regularly tend to adopt habits such as putting their running shoes next to their bed or always working out at the same time, and data-driven people do the same thing. Here are five habits common among data-driven people.

By: zmansfield x Show Full PostI have to say I'm surprised to hear that this is being considered a disappointing year in games. Far Cry 3, XCOM, FTL, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Journey, The Walking Dead, Halo 4, SSX, Need for Speed, Assassin's Creed 3, Guild Wars 2, and Mass Effect 3 (yes, even Mass Effect 3) make picking even just the top 5 games of the year difficult for me.
Compare it to last year where you had Portal 2, Skryim, Bastion, Batman, Legend of Zelda, and Uncharted; maybe Deus Ex and Dark Souls depending on where you fell on them. I think Portal 2 and Skyrim were far and away the best. However, if you put them in the mix with this year's games, could you say the same thing? I think you can't.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think this year was at least as good, if not a little better, than the last.Dec 22, 2012 12:30pm PSTI have to say I'm surprised to hear that this is being considered a disappointing year in games.

Finally back to work and getting a chance to listen to the podcasts
First and foremost happy new year and thanks for giving us the best and most rational gaming podcast throughout past year
Great discussion all around.
and thanks for bringing Binary Domain as one of the most overlooked games past year. It's probably my GOTY. yes, there are a few kinks here and there, but to me it was the most memorable game I played last year

There is no future for that system at all. The 3rd party devs are deserting the platform. And there is no consumer interest for such a device with Smartphone devices that are more and more compelling as proper gaming platforms.

By: DevSword x Show Full PostThe problem here with the criticism of TWD, and the sort of hindsight reluctance to criticize Mass Effect 3, is that "player choice" is a false concept. What makes the time limit compelling about TWD is that it simulates a story unfolding. The player him or herself can not be Lee. But the game can present the player with possible outcomes based on what Lee would do. And in this scenario Lee and not just tell everyone to stop and let him think for a minute.
So the reason Mass Effect 3 fails, where as TWD succeeds, is that ME is asking the player to project a personality onto their avatar, where as TWD is asking the player to change what happens by changing what an existing character does. Its like giving the player the opportunity to participate in a person's life Ground Hog Day style.
That said, everyone who is engaged in this debate, and deriding The Walking Dead as not qualifying as a game, needs to watch this trailer for the PS2 title Shadow of Destiny:
"It may seem trivial,
but suppose you're in a cafe
trying to decide between coffee and tea.
The you that chooses coffee,
after a long deliberation,
and the you that chooses tea
actually both exist."
And a tag line: "Life is a wheel of changes."
This is an adventure game with 8 endings, and dozens of variations in the plot leading up to those endings. It is no more mechanically in depth than the Walking Dead, but it does compensate the player for figuring out a variety ways to shape the long term outcome of the plot.
"Player choice" is a falsehood, but branching narrative is not.
So on The Walking Dead you can't just say it isn't a game because the architecture of the design is built around its story. And likewise you can not just isolate the story itself and proclaim that it isn't "game." The story of TWD is intrinsic to what kind of game it is.
So likewise on Mass Effect, it is irresponsible for a critic of games to just throw up his or her hands and say "well there's just no way they could have actually made the story different based on your choices." That game's failure was based on the false concept of the player projecting his or her individuality into the experience, and conflating that with strong narrative.
Also props to Garnet for going all out on this episode.Dec 21, 2012 5:29pm PSTThe problem here with the criticism of TWD, and the sort of hindsight reluctance to criticize Mass Effect : DevSword

By: DevSword x Show Full PostGarnet, Jeff, and Andrea are pretty deluded about the quality of games this past year. It was amazing to me how Garnet scoffed at this idea of "technology" driving the significance of titles. Uh hello Garnet? They are called computer games.
I hate to break it to you but before Far Cry 3, there were 2 other Far Cries---and they weren't that different]. Before Halo 4, there were like 10 other Halo games. And sorry, but Guild Wars 2 and XCOM are not mega transcendent titles. I'm sure they're great, but they're not setting the world on fire.
The assertion about Uncharted 2 is just completely baffling. If Uncharted 2 came out this year it wouldn't be as big because Uncharted 2 already came out three years ago That's the entire point of the discussion. Uncharted 3 wasn't considered better than 2 because it didn't set a new water mark for all of gaming in the same way!
We are now in the seventh year of this console life cycle, from when the 360 launched. We have officially seen new engines running at various tech shows, and even fully playable gameplay footage of titles that don't appear to have platforms to come out on yet.
Gamers aren't just disappointed (I think you guys got way too hung up on that terminology) with titles this year, they are frustrated with the entire state of gaming because game development hasn't been this stagnant in a looonnnggg time. We haven't endured such a long of a gap between generation cycles. That's not just a "subjective" take as Andrea tried to suggest, its an objective reality.
I look at The Last of Us and think it could be one of those generational swan song kind of titles, and I can't wait to play it. I certainly want to play that and GTAV way more than anything that came out this year. But I also look at Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313, and think, all these games look kind of fucking muddy and dated.

By: silentdante x Show Full PostThe conversation about the timed questions in walking dead was funny, a couple voiced they hated the time put on them about descisions they would normally take time to make, but i am not sure if they realize thats the whole point. if you become immersed in a world where you are not sure how long you have before 4-10 walkers show up all of a sudden, you might be more inclined to make a quicker than normal/rash descision.
Now granted some of the timed questioned didn't need to be timed, but thats the whole point of the game. to make you uncomfortable, your not supposed to take time and find your most comfortable answer, your supposed to make your gut reaction and then live with it, you can always play again with the previous knowledge if you really want to have the extra time... but then again people play games how they want and i respect that.
also like i mentioned in the last Weekend Confirmed post, The Walking Dead: The Game is basicaly a visual Adventure book game made real with some added (bad) puzzle elements and some other arcadey/half ass action moments. these adventure book type of games are most deffinetly games and just because the "gameplay" is sort of like the Rorschach inkblob test in the way you are presented a situation and made ot make a quick descision in walking dead, shouldn't exclude it as a game of the year. the example i give is that i LOVE chrono trigger, and it's not because the "gameplay" hooked me, my love for that game is the story and the characters. it could have had bad RPG systems and i feel like i still would have loved the characters and story. the same is said for Planescape: Torment, the mechanics/gameplay are very second to the story/characters.
maybe thats the thing though, just like how people can learn different ways (visial, practice, study) people will feel what abetter game is for a year to them in different ways...Dec 21, 2012 2:59pm PSTThe conversation about the timed questions in walking dead was funny, a couple voiced they hated the time... : silentdante

Regarding the discussion about the year supposedly being "disappointing," James was 100% right and you're all idiots for arguing with him.
Disappointment is based on expectations, not reality. The year could have been as great as anything, but if you expected more, that's disappointment. It's not a statement on the quality of anything, it's a statement of where things stand relative you where you thought they were going to stand.

Great show !
First I agree 100 % with James. 100 % and I think many gamerz feel that way.
There wasn't ANY game that define the gen as a Modern Warfare, Mario Galaxy, Bioshock, Uncharted 2 or Mass Effect 2.
NOT A SINGLE GAME this year would be a contender for Game of the Gen. That's why the year was disappointing. End of gen games are generally among the best of the gen and it wasn't the case this year. When games like Wlaking Dead and Journey gets game of the year titles, that means the year was weak ! PERIOD.
Can someone explain me why Persona 4 Golden is so praised in Metacritic ? The game is like one of the most highest rated game of all time ? SINCE WHEN ? The game was NEVER that critical darling during PS2 era ? NOBODY would even consider it one of the top PS2 game and now it's better rated than ANY PS2 game ?

To the actual point about the console, yes it's to damn expensive, yes it's a bulky mess, and yes it's a great device. Unfortunately great device doesn't add up to great console. I love my vita, but it fits my lifestyle and playstyle.
What does the vita remind me of... Well the Nomad. Plays the big boy games from the console in a lesser capacity, but lacks original titles. Think of this how many titles does the vita have unique to it... I count gravity rush, and a few psn style games that are C's at best.
Then you see the shelf space the vita gets and you think, WOW my DVD collection from this year is bigger than that (you see the joke is I use Netflix for all my movie purposes).

By: RedSwirl x Show Full PostI think the little discussion on open-world games like Far Cry 3, Bethesda games, and Yakuza 4 highlights a difference that tends to happen between western and Japanese game design.
The thing with a lot of the western open world games, especially Bethesda games, is that at some point they kinda just drop in the middle of the world and make most of the content accessible all at once. It just depends on where you choose to wander. Fallout 3 was one of the first WRPGs I played and I ended up sticking to the main quest until I had to make a very conscious decision to break off and do side quests. With Skyrim many have argued that the main quest is the least interesting part of the game. I even made a character with which I have no intention to ever touch the main quest (I've done whole quest lines with no dragons even showing up in the world).
People are starting to notice that a major weakness of Far Cry 3 is that you can clear the entire first island of pirates before you barely even start the main missions, making players overpowered very early into the game.
The difference with Japanese games like Yakuza 4]. I think is that they seem to prioritize the main quest a lot more. Side quests are there, but they aren't as in-your-face. A common problem with JRPGs though is that you end up stopping to do all the side quests right before the finale of the main quest.Dec 21, 2012 6:22pm PSTI think the little discussion on open-world games like Far Cry 3, Bethesda games, and Yakuza 4 highlights : RedSwirl

One very simple way to incorporate a color theme into a candy buffet is to layer candy in glass vessels.
In the example above, layers of 1-inch green and white gumballs are coupled with white Sixlets and kiwi green foiled chocolate balls. White candy is always a great choice as it pairs with other colors perfectly.
This combination would work just as well at a neutral baby shower as it would at a Christmas tree-trimming party or St. Patrick's Day celebration.
Set up takes minutes vs. hours. Plus, beautiful candy is a great conversation piece, and it can be used as a dessert item as well as a take-home treat.
With candy layering, you can color-match any party theme.
For a wedding with an unexpected color combination like lavender, yellow, and white, you can layer yellow and white gumballs, and accent with purple foiled chocolates, and grape unicorn lollipops. Just a few of these candy-filled glass containers will complement a cake, cupcakes, and other wedding pastries.
Candy combinations are endless, which can make buying overwhelming. A great place to start is SweetWorks' Celebration candy collection. Each candy in this line is developed specifically for mixing and matching. Another great starting point is the candy by color page on Candy.com.
Use SweetWorks Celebration product line as a base, and incorporate chocolate bars, truffles, jelly beans, gummi candies, hard candy balls, and lollipops.
In the Valentine-themed candy buffet photo above, foiled chocolate hearts are layered with white gumballs. The focal point is a single red and white swirled lollipop centered in a glass jar filled with white Sixlets.
The jar brimming with hot pink, white, and red Sixlets ties the color scheme together. Only four types of candy are used in this candy buffet, but the color combinations make it look as if there is more.
Get inspired and send us photos of any candy layering that you have done! We'd love to see and share your work on the blog. (Send your photos and contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com.)
