for starters, you should probably know the difference between krema & crazy richard's peanut butters... there, in fact, is none. yep, you read it right! krema bought rights to crazy richard's brand for the sake of publicity, as it's well known on the east coast, while krema is more known in the midwest. the "name" is the only distinction between them.
I never realized how "altered" peanut butters are until I came across krema.
so let's talk about krema's peanut butter... it's made of 100% specially roasted Georgia peanuts, & ONLY peanuts. that means there's been no added hydrogenated oils, sugars or salt, & contains absolutely no sodium, trans fat or cholestoral. it's a good source of unsaturated fat & folic acid, something we all need in our daily diets. & the texture is smooth & creamy verses gritty, as other trade names are.
at first I was concerned because krema (aka crazy richard's) is soup-ee. after being reassured by my mom & then later reading up on it, I now understand that's how it works with ALL natural peanut butters. because of the lack of added hydrogenated oils (among other ingredients) it does not take on a hard form. instead, it makes putting your peanut butter on bread a much easier task! I also found out that if you prefer it slightly hardened, store it in the fridge.
the best way to explain what krema tastes like is to imagine what crushed, dry roasted peanuts taste like. compared to Jiff, it's not as sweet; but Jiff has added sugars that krema don't. according to the nuval nutritional scoring system, krema & crazy richard's rank 51% good for you (when taking into account all it's good & bad nutrients), 30 points higher than any other brand on the market! Jiff scores a measly 22% at it's highest!
so if your looking to eat healthier, krema & crazy richard's fit the bill.

Tarot Card Meanings
Four of Swords
Concentrate less on the opinions and biases of others. Be open to intuition and insight from a deeper source.
Three of Swords
Five of Swords
Watch Now: Four of Swords Video
Learn the meaning of the Four of Swords Tarot card in under a minute!
General Meaning
A Four in this suit sends a message to take some time out, surrendering worldly concerns and retreating to a sheltered place of serenity away from the hustle and bustle. The oldest Tarot card images suggest a visit to the tombs of our ancestors, a place to contemplate your mortality and breathe in the dust of those who brought you here.
A vision quest or pilgrimage to one's own center allows us to contemplate our roots, values and goals. Here you will see your place in the flow of time ... and unfolding generations.
In the Reversed Position
The Four of Swords reversed suggests that even though solitary contemplation can be a great pleasure, it should be balanced with appropriate interpersonal communications. Isolation in this situation can, in some cases, be counterproductive.
It may be necessary to seek help or counsel to intervene with an energy-draining pattern. Try to supply yourself with enough human contact, preferably of a therapeutic or, at the very least, a supportive kind, so if you get stuck in an emotionally painful position, you will have a safety net in place.
In the Advice Positon
The Four of Swords in this position strongly urges that you keep your own counsel in this situation. There may be too much fear and hostility in the environment for you to be heard. It might be that your ideas are not ripe enough or that you are not ready to listen to feedback from others.
If you spend more time in contemplation, you may successfully disregard the emotional occupations and biases of others. For now, closely observe inner events. The time for sharing will come later.

Yes, it's traditionally a cake stand. The sides fold up so it's a useful piece. And no, I didn't pay £15 for it, a bit of a haggle is all part of the fun!
Secondly, as I was scrunching up the local newspaper for use in lighting the fire (the 'paper is generally too depressing to read), I did have a look at the ads page which lists the local car boot sales. Oh how I am missing the car boots in this dismal weather. However, an ad caught my eye that there was a new boot sale starting up at a local school so on the Saturday, before lunch in Crystal Palace, off we went.
Well, it was a bit of a sorry boot sale, on a bitterly cold day, there were very few cars and at first, I thought there was going to be nothing to interest us but oh no my dear readers, I did not come away empty handed. In retrospect, I think I did quite well.
I picked up all of this china pretty much for a song. I bought this gorgeous pink and gold teacup (with a few other matching bits) from a lovely old gentleman who was so desperate for me to buy it, he kept lowering the price until I said yes! I'm now so glad I did buy them!
He told me he had broken one of the other cups (the handle had come off) but he would throw it in for free (I kind of wish he'd held back on the china throwing!) and it is now a cute little receptacle in our bathroom.
I also bought this plate from him which has an old Royal Doulton backstamp. It might make it into a cake stand but then again, I'm rather fond of it...
The china has been sat on the cutting table in my room, waiting for me to put it away. One day in the course of my crafty endeavours, I was using these little paper flowers (all shall be revealed) and once I'd taken the bunches apart, I popped them into the cup, which happened to be next to me, to keep them tidy as I used them. It struck me how pretty they looked!
I wasn't keen on the wooden finish on the cake stand so it's had a little makeover.
Better, I think.
Now I could have fun using it for afternoon tea...
My little £1 plant that I potted into a pretty teacup and saucer looks cute upon it...
Then again, I really bought it to use for something entirely different.
I bought it to put on my stall at craft fairs, as an interesting way to display my goodies.
In particular, I think these lavender sacks I've been making from my vintage European fabrics shall look pretty.
They smell divine and are filled with lavender from that bloggy lavender expert Sue.
Some are in bundles of three while some are going solo! In advance of the fairs, they can be found in the usual place.
But until it's craft fair time, my eyes are on that cake!

I've been getting this line directed at me from several players, usually after I comment if not foolishly salt at them for what I feel is exploiting how the game handles flights; in particular GAA plus GA / bomber / [X].
And yeah, Warplanes is a game; neither is it however a simulation title where I would (should) expect overwhelmingly lopsided unit lineups, abysmal support, and inequitable ''RNG'' & performance characteristics.
More often than not though I rarely, basically never, see these same players flying anything (nor in their battle results list) that isn't perfect for the meta, and I almost never (if ever) see them not in a flight.
Expecting me to roll over and laugh off being regularly curbstomped multiple times per session, day after day every single week and quite often by the same few players, is not realistic.
If that was happening only once or twice a day, and not every day, I could handle it; but, these folks are making an assumption about how often that circumstance occurs that isn't at all in line with what does go on.
If folks want to farm win rate, or climb the Hall of Fame ladder, I have no problem with that; asking me to accept being just more cannon fodder simply because the game allows it? uhm, ....probably not gonna happen.
I'm trying to play and do well too, except I pretty much never get to face opposition equal to my own; it's either below me or far beyond anything I'll ever be capable of doing.
If there was another title out there that would work about as well (better even? heh), without being a full flight sim and/or paying an absurd amount of money just to ''game'', I'd be playing it.
In the meantime, like so many other players, this is about what there is to do; I have about (50) people so far in my contacts, and just as with 1.9 the majority of the time they can't flight up or are already in one.
Obviously I spend a lot of time having to play this game alone, when for yet another version it's pretty obvious how rare it is for the non-elite player to do well when not paired up with someone.
tl;dr -
If folks aren't playing under the same limitations everyone else is burdened with, then I think those deliberately working loopholes for their own benefit really aren't playing the same game at all and should be honest about it.

text: Home > Business Record Q4 car sales, but Hyundai Motor bumped from fast lane Reuters Posted at Jan 24 2013 08:46 AM | Updated as of Jan 24 2013 04:46 PM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn SEOUL - Hyundai Motor will report its lowest profit growth since it switched accounting rules in 2011, as record car sales are dented by the impact of a stronger local currency and the cost of compensating drivers in North America for overstated fuel-economy claims. The South Korean automaker, ranked fifth in global sales with affiliate Kia Motors, is expected to outperform the market this year in increasing vehicle sales, but a run of stellar profit growth looks set to end as currency shifts favor Japanese rivals. Hyundai will likely say later on Thursday that October-December net profit rose 7.5 percent to 2.15 trillion won ($2 billion), according to a Reuters poll of 15 analysts. "Hyundai Motor will no longer enjoy a growth-stock premium, with its earnings growth seen decelerating," said Kim Sung-tai, a fund manager at Phoenix Asset, which owns Hyundai stock. "The won is appreciating and Japanese and U.S. rivals are normalizing into the levels before the global financial crisis." Hyundai has relied on affordable cars to drive up sales in Europe and elsewhere, but its dominance at home - where it and Kia have 80 percent market share - is under threat from German and Japanese imports. "Hyundai's January-March profit will fall because of currencies and increased marketing costs, as its cars are ageing and rivals have launched new models at competitive prices," said Cho Soo-hong, an analyst at Woori Investment & Securities. That projected profit fall would be Hyundai's first since it moved to consolidated reporting to reflect earnings at its affiliates. Analysts have cut their target share prices and earnings estimates for Hyundai as the won has strengthened, with 19 of 26 net profit estimates revised in the past 30 days, dragging down the average estimate by 10 percent, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine. Hyundai and Kia shares have been the worst performers among major global automakers for the past three months - down 5 percent and 18 percent, respectively, while Toyota Motor shares gained more than a third. Hyundai is the first of Asia's big automakers to report fourth-quarter earnings, with Honda Motor due on Jan. 31 and Toyota on Feb. 5. MILEAGE FIASCO Hyundai's fourth-quarter earnings could include $100 million set aside to cover the cost of compensating customers for overstated fuel-economy claims on some cars sold recently in the United States and Canada. Hyundai and Kia said they would help drivers pay for the additional fuel costs. As the Korean won has strengthened - up almost 8 percent against the dollar last year, its biggest percentage gain since 2009 - the yen has eased by 11 percent, handing the advantage back to Japanese rivals. A stronger won crimps exporters' earnings when repatriated and hurts price competitiveness in overseas markets. Investors worry the currency shifts could prompt Japanese automakers to increase sales incentives, forcing Hyundai and others to follow suit. "Korean and Japanese currencies are going in opposite directions, which will be unfavorable to South Korean car makers," said Baek Jae-yeol, a fund manager at Korea Investment Management. HOME CRISIS While South Korea's free trade deals with Europe and the United States have helped boost Hyundai and Kia sales in those markets, they are being squeezed at home. Hyundai cut its domestic prices of the mid-sized Sonata and large models such as the Genesis for the first time early this year, seeking to fend off competition from imported brands. That home market has provided the revenue firepower for Hyundai and Kia to shift mid-priced models overseas. South Korea accounted for 15 percent of Hyundai's sales in January-September, its third biggest market after China and the U.S. Investors are also concerned Hyundai could lose production as it plans to scrap overnight work at Korean factories from March. Kia, which produced 59 percent of its vehicles at home, compared with Hyundai's 43 percent, will be harder hit by the new shift system, analysts said. CHINA, BRAZIL Hyundai aims to increase global sales by 6 percent to 4.66 million vehicles this year, boosted by new plants in China and Brazil. That volume increase would be the lowest since 2007 but would still top the overall industry's projected 3.6 percent rise and Toyota's 2.2 percent growth plan. In China, Hyundai's third plant helped it increase output just as Japanese rivals reeled from a sales slump as a territorial row stoked anti-Japanese sentiment in September. Hyundai's China sales jumped 16 percent last year, giving it a 6.7 percent share of the world's biggest autos market. In Europe, Hyundai lagged its own bullish sales target, but outperformed the shrinking market with a 9 percent rise in sales and a record 3.5 percent market share, according to European Automobile Manufacturers' Association data. In the United States, Hyundai increased sales by 9 percent last year, underperforming the market's 13 percent rise according to Automotive News data, and saw its market share dip - to 4.9 percent from 5.1 percent in 2011 - for the first time in more than a decade.

DOCTOR Anja Szabo has seen countless vaginas.
As a gynaecologist for many years, and an obstetrician for the past five, it's part and parcel.
>>See below for more vagina facts
She's even seen this reporter's private parts in her consult room at the Mater Hospital in Gladstone.
The doc finds it difficult to believe Carefree's newest television commercial could offend so many.
The feminine hygiene brand debuted the 30-second slot Sunday evening.
A gorgeous woman fills the screen and poses a question: 'How well do you know your body?'
Then she does the unthinkable. She talks about 'discharge'. And says the word 'vagina'.
Carefree's goal is to tackle taboos. The company explained its position in a press release first thing Monday morning:
"Vaginal discharge is normal - it is the female body's natural way to help keep the vagina clean and healthy.
"Carefree is addressing the issue respectfully by showing women of all ages - from puberty to menopause - that discharge is normal, and that it's okay to discuss it."
Dr Szabo agreed.
"I don't think it's inappropriate at all - it's just a word.
"It's a term for a part of your body. "There are so many words that shouldn't be used on television, like swear words.
"Vagina is certainly not one of them."
BEAUTY therapist Rhiannon Gilson, 18, was a bit prudish before she started work at Be Pampered.
But, since taking the job last November, Rhiannon estimates she's seen "hundreds" of vaginas.
It's not unusual for Rhiannon to perform seven brazilian waxes in a day.
The girls call these wax-heavy shifts "V-Days".
"You see one, you've seen them all," she said.
And there's no such thing as a standard vagina.
Rhiannon said they come in all shapes and sizes.
"Everyone's different.
"A lot of people ask, 'Am I normal?'"
Rhiannon has seen the Carefree ad on telly. Asked what she thought, she was frank.
"I didn't think anything of it - look where I work," she laughed.
Tracy Lee I personally see nothing wrong with the Carefree ad, maybe confronting for some. I mean we have been watching ads for years where they pour blue liquid on pads...at least now they are getting real! Oh and no one cared about all the erectile dysfunction ads on TV...ever!
Jenn Russell I don't care, it's what it is! Better than saying 'wee wee', 'doodle' etc lol
Sara Cumming I see nothing wrong with the ad! What I think is wrong is that there are probably now thousands of children asking their parents during dinner about vaginas and discharge... I'm very open with my kids so they didn't really notice but I feel for all the mums and dads that have half choked on their dinner!!!
Mel Gourley There is nothing offensive about that ad at all. I don't see that anyone should have a problem with the ad saying Vagina, it's the correct terminology.
Tanya Simon It is so silly that there is any talk about it at all! It is a part of a woman's anatomy, we've all got one and it happens and that is what the product is for!
Vanessa Katerina Hough I have seen worse ads than that!! Absolutely nothing wrong with it, what shall we say intend of vagina and discharge?? Should we replace it with "the thing between a woman's legs" and "leakage"?? Vagina and discharge are the right words why try to hide it and let our daughters grow up thinking that those words are too shameful to say??
Nicole Bowen I was completely disgusted, outraged and ashamed!! NOT.... HAHAHA it's cool. You can't hide the elephant in the room and I think it's appropriate, but I'm a mother and nothing shames after everyone seeing my vagina. A young girl maybe verging on menstruation might feel uncomfortable and I just hope that adolescent guys don't give girls a hard time about it.
Ros Den Hertog Silliness to make a fuss about natural body functions. What about the ad where the puppy sniffs bums!!? That is more offensive!
Paula Matthews I can't see anything wrong with this ad at all.
Deborah Campbell The idea of them giving a running commentary was to break through the taboo. For women to stop being ashamed of what their vaginas do.
Would people be offended if they were listening to an ad or Doctor Harry about dogs having eye discharge? No. Would people be offended if an ad for bandaid came on saying "are you bleeding from a wound in your leg? Put a band aid on!"...No...So the "offensive" bit comes solely from the word vagina and the fact that the discharge and bleeding comes from that one specific are. Doesn't matter about any other area on your body...It's only offensive if it comes from that one spot.
Lisa Newby I sure took notice when the word vagina was said! As women, we know what is happening with our bodies. We do not need it spelt out in front of our teenage sons. I think that it is totally unnecessary!
The vagina has many nicknames. Some of the cleaner ones include:
- Fanny

Earlier tracheostomies result in better patient outcomes
Harrisburg, PA, USA (October 5, 2011) – A tracheostomy performed within the first seven days after a severe head injury results in better overall patient outcome, according to a team of Penn State College of Medicine researchers. This is especially true for patients who have a greater chance of surviving when admitted to the hospital.
A tracheostomy is an opening created in the front of the neck directly into the trachea to allow unimpeded breathing. (A tracheotomy is the act of making that opening.)
"The CDC estimates that more than 200,000 individuals are hospitalized annually for traumatic brain injury," said Kevin M. Cockroft, M.D., associate professor, neurosurgery. "Severely head-injured patients, particularly those with additional injuries, often require tracheostomy at some point during their hospital stay."
Previous studies have shown mixed results.
"Traditionally, tracheostomy, or 'trach,' has been recommended to prevent airway complications," Cockroft said. "Early trach has been advocated as a means to improve outcome, with various studies suggesting that it may decrease the incidence of pneumonia, reduce intensive care unit days and shorten overall length of stay. Some evidence also exists to suggest that early trach does not improve outcomes. As a result, the timing of trach in these critically ill patients remains controversial."
Early trach patients are defined as those who have a tracheostomy performed during the first seven hospital-stay days. Late trach patients are defined as those who have a tracheostomy performed at greater than seven days after admission.
Researchers used data collected from January 1990 through December 2005 by the Pennsylvania Trauma Society Foundation for its statewide trauma registry. Because of a lack of patients with only head injury, researchers looked at patients with injury to at least one other body system. In total, 3,104 patients were included in the study, with 1,577 in the early trach group and 1,527 in the late trach group. It is the largest study to date to report the effects of tracheostomy timing on outcome after a severe head injury.
In the study population, later trach patients were in the hospital three times longer than early trach patients and also spent an average of four times longer in the ICU. Early trach patients were 1.5 times more likely to be discharged in an independent state. However, later trach patients were twice as likely to live to be discharged from the hospital, potentially because more severe cases would receive an earlier trach.
In addition, later trach patients were about twice as likely to suffer from an adverse pulmonary occurrence such as pneumonia, about 1.5 times as likely to suffer a cardiac event such as a heart attack, and 1.5 times more likely to have an infection.
Researchers reported their results in the journal Neurocritical Care. The project was funded by the Departments of Neurosurgery and Public Health Sciences, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine.
"These results indicate a complex relationship between tracheostomy timing and outcome, but suggest that a strategy of early tracheostomy, particularly when performed on patients with a reasonable chance of survival, results in a better overall clinical outcome than when the tracheostomy is performed in a delayed manner," Cockroft said.
Other researchers are Elias B. Rizk and Akshal S. Patel, Department of Neurosurgery; Christina M. Stetter and Vernon M. Chinchilli, Department of Public Health Sciences.

Screen siren Elizabeth Taylor, who was as famous for her eight marriages as she was for her legendary film career, has died.
Taylor, the biggest female star of Hollywood's 1950s golden age, was perhaps best known for her title role in "Cleopatra," where she began her long-running romance with Richard Burton. She won Academy Awards for her roles in "BUtterfield 8" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf."
The American Film Institute selected Taylor No. 7 on their list of the 50 Greatest American Screen Legends (25 males and 25 females), behind only Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, and Katharine Hepburn.
U.S. & World
Her death at age 79 came just days after being declared in stable condition at a Los Angeles Hospital. The legendary actress and style icon had been checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles since early February with symptoms of congestive heart failure. After weeks of showing slight improvement, Taylor finally succumbed to the illness.
"We have just lost a Hollywood giant," said longtime pal Elton John. "More importantly, we have lost an incredible human being."
The two-time Oscar winner, confined to a wheelchair for the past five years, had battled a number of ailments including three hip-replacement surgeries, a benign brain tumor, and pneumonia.
Taylor is survived by her four children, 10 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
"Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished," her son, Michael Wilding, said in a statement. "We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."
Born in 1932 to wealthy Americans living in England, Taylor was marked for stardom from an early age. She took ballet at three and appeared in her first film, "There's One Born Every Minute," at age 9. That same year, she signed a contract with MGM to appear in "Lassie Come Home," alongside fellow child star Roddy McDowall. The roles came fast, and at age 12, she was a bona fide star, earning a then-unthinkable sum of $30,000 for her role in "National Velvet."
The London-born actress was also famous for her many marriages. From her first marriage to hotel magnate Conrad Hilton at age 18 to her last trip down the aisle with construction worker Larry Fortensky, she wed a total of eight times. Two were to the love of her life, Burton. The marriage to Hilton lasted just one year, as did her union with Michael Todd, who died in a plane crash. She was also wedded to entertainer Eddie Fisher, politician John Warner and actor Michael Wilding.
Burton, who was married to Taylor from 1964-74 and then from 1975-76, played Marc Antony to Taylor's depiction of the Egyptian queen, launching a legendary real life love story.
"The most astonishingly self-contained, pulchritudinous, remote, removed, inaccessible woman I had ever seen," Burton once said of Taylor.
Following close friend Rock Hudson's public admission that he was afflicted with AIDS in 1985, Taylor dedicated her life to crusading for a cure for the disease. She used her celebrity to raise money for many AIDS-related charities and causes up until her passing.
Casting a shadow over her glamorous Hollywood image was Taylor's long struggle with addiction to painkillers and alcohol. She sent her fans reeling when she checked into the Betty Ford Clinic for the first time in 1983. During a 1987 stay, she actually met seventh husband Fortensky.
However, her strangest relationship was with late "King of Pop," Michael Jackson. The two first met in the early 80s and, after bonding over what Taylor described as "horrible" childhoods, the two were nearly inseparable up until Jackson's death in 2009.
Jackson would frequently dedicate songs with an "Elizabeth, I Love You," and there were even rumors that the pair had secretly married. Jackson had a shrine to Taylor built at his Neverland Ranch, where he showed her movies on a continuous loop 24 hours a day.
The family is planning a private funeral for later this week.

It was almost a year ago that Intel introduced the first Core 2 Duo processors into the market, marking the beginning of the end for the very well-regarded AMD Athlon 64. Since that moment Core 2 Duo processors have dominated the market and arguably become one of the best processor series in history. Today the Core 2 architecture is evolving from their original 1066MHz FSB to a faster 1333MHz bus, while DDR2 is getting ready to stand aside and let DDR3 take over.
Along with the Core 2 Duo came the Intel P965 Express chipset designed for mainstream and high-end motherboards. The P965 was meant to replace the i945 chipset and we can safely say today that it has done so successfully. Hoping for such continued success, Intel announced a P965 replacement last month. The new P35 chipset features updated processor and memory support, along with a few new key features that we will be talking about in this article.
The P35 is the first release on a new series of chipsets, with two more products soon to follow, the G33 and X38. Although the flagship model in the new series is actually the X38 (which will replace the 975X), other than the added PCI Express lanes, there seems to be very little difference between the X38 and P35 chipsets.
This is not all that surprising. In the past we have seen very little difference between Intel mainstream and high-end chipsets (think P965 vs. 975X). We anticipate the main differences will come from the motherboard manufacturers themselves, as they may decide to pack more features into their X38 boards. That said, motherboards such as the ASUS P5K Deluxe (WiFi-AP Edition) which relies on the P35 chipset, are going to be hard to beat. ASUS has really embraced the Intel P35 quickly, as they currently offer eight unique motherboards based on the chipset.
The ASUS P5K Deluxe comes in two flavors, while the standard version we have here today supports DDR2 memory, there is also a version that exclusively supports DDR3 memory, known as the P5K3 Deluxe. Both motherboards share the exact same PCB design with slight alterations to the cooling design and of course different memory DIMMs. Today we are testing the P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP Edition, which currently has a retail value of $250, making this a high-end product.
Please read on as we take a close look to what this board has to offer.

You know you're going to get an epic Seder when you're greeted at the door by two goys in faux-fur Hassidic hats with greasy-looking fake Payos' attached to them. It was also a pretty good sign that I had successfully arrived at Melissa and Joan Rivers' house—as opposed to the other four Seders that were being held on that particularly dimly lit Pacific Palisades street Monday night.
"Come in! Come in!" Joan, dressed almost entirely in a sparkly outfit from her Joan Rivers Collection, cried. "Passover—such a happy occasion. We were passed over!"
I've known Joan for a couple of years now—and worshipped her for over two decades. And so, after she was a guest on my radio demo I did for Sirius two weeks ago, when she asked me to come to Passover in L.A. I not only said yes—but, in the positive version of Sarah Palin, screamed, "Hell yes!"
"Let's just drink the wine instead of dripping it on our plate," Joan said. "We'll drip it in our throat instead…"
The crowd was a mix of family and old friends—Melissa, her son Cooper, her boyfriend Jason (from my hometown of Cincinnati! Who knew?), Jason's parents, Joan's manager Michael, her old agent Sue, Peter Tilden, and his family… and me.
People dressed for the occasion. Sue showed up in homemade purple satin top with huge pink rosettes pinned to her boobs—a la Charlize Theron's Oscar dress. "Exactly!" Sue said, when I guessed the reference. Sue changed for dinner, but the point was made: This crowd was here for a good time and nothing was off limits. Not even Elijah.
As we sat down to start the festivities, Melissa announced, "Fun fact—Moses had a lisp so sometimes we break out with the speech impediment. Don't be shocked." Joan added, "Just being historically accurate!"
Haggadahs were passed around as were matchbooks with the cover of Melissa's book, Red Carpet Ready, on them ("Because," explained Joan, "as we all know, you can never over self-promote! Even amongst friends and family") —along with a "sack of plagues."
"It's for later, you'll see," Joan explained. "When we get to the plagues we hold each one up." Inside was a plastic jumping frog (frogs), some green lice/ticks (pestilence), a man made of bubble wrap for (boils), a toy locust, dark sunglasses (darkness), lion and tiger finger puppets (wild beasts), a collapsible calf (we weren't sure what that was for, but assumed it symbolized the first born), fake blood and hand puppets for Pharoah (who was red) and Moses (in green).
"Moses is green," Joan explained, "because he's environmentally conscious."
Which, I suppose, makes up for the lisp.
Sue kicked things off with a reading before asking, "Why do I always get the bondage parts? OK, OK here we go… Now we are in bondage, next year— "
"Stocks!" Michael quipped.
"Let's just drink the wine instead of dripping it on our plate," Joan said a few minutes later. "We'll drip it in our throat instead…"
Soon after, Joan had had enough.
"And now we eat!" she said.
"We didn't do the four questions…" Melissa said.
"We'll do it later—after we eat!"
"No, later everyone just wants to drink. Let's do it now.
Joan capitulated. "OK, but this is wroooooong. Page 67!"
Dinner conversation was strictly off the record (due to the fact that everyone at the table had great stories—let's not forget Joan and Melissa did Celebrity Apprentice with Jesse James, I used to work for Page Six, and Sue was a onetime agent to the stars). But we'd all be in serious trouble if that shit leaked. For reals. It was some good gossip. I seriously think Joan's got the in on where Jimmy Hoffa's body is. Or at least knows the showgirl who does.
Afterward, Cooper found the afikomen (for $10) and let Elijah in for his glass of booze. Joan then explained to her (exhausted) grandson, "Elijah comes in and drinks the glass of wine. Now Cooper, look at the glass, it was your great grandfather's wine glass. See the wine going away?"
Cooper, "No."
Joan: "Well. This is like the 4,372nd house he's been to tonight. Elijah's drunk—give him a break!"
I had to leave shortly after that—the Palisades is a loooong way from my home, The Sunset Tower Hotel, and let's be honest—even in the abbreviated version of the Haggadah, there are like four glasses of wine to drink. After all, I have to keep up my religious duties!
At the door, I hugged Melissa and Joan said, "You get to take the plagues home with you. A gift bag!" She then took off the gorgeous crystal necklace she'd been wearing which I'd admired earlier (Joan Rivers Collection found on QVC!) and said, "Here—take it. It's yours. Now go before anyone sees you!" Because that's just the kind of classy dame she is. I love those ladies.
P.S.: Joan and Melissa just got green-lit for a reality show for WE about Joan moving in with Melissa, Cooper, and Jason in L.A.. This will rock harder than Poison at Spring Break.

For the millions who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, transitioning back to life at home can often be as challenging as heading off to war. When they return, some find themselves in a place they never thought they could be: in trouble with the law. In Texas, a creative new program offers an alternative to standard justice, which is helping to straighten out lives twisted by the stress of war. Scott Pelley speaks with a judge, a veteran himself, who helped found the vets program and to some of the returning warriors it is helping in a 60 Minutes report to be broadcast Sunday, Oct. 14 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Texas State District Judge Marc Carter, an Army veteran, became alarmed at the number of vets he saw in the courts of Harris County. He knew from experience that standard justice would probably not help the underlying causes of their criminal behavior, especially the post-traumatic stress disorder common to combat veterans. "If you just put them out there on probation they are going to fail. If you put them on probation that is tailored to deal with problems, PTSD and drug use, then they'll be successful, they won't have to go to prison," says Carter.
He and other volunteers set up the veterans' court program in 2009. It deals with first-time felony offenders and uses treatment programs offered mostly by the Veterans Administration. But there was a catch: signing up for the program meant a mandatory two years of treatment and probationary supervision. Says Carter, "They do more programs on this probation than they would ever do on any other probation in the state," he tells Pelley. "It's tougher for them. They make a commitment to me...and my promise to them is 'I will be patient and I will give you time to change back to that person you were.'" It's not for everyone; about 40 vets a year sign on to the program.
One of the first to benefit from the program is Arthur Davis. Once a Marine First Sergeant in Iraq and Afghanistan, Davis found himself in jail charged with assault with a deadly weapon, the result of a drunken fight. Instead of serving a long prison sentence, he agreed to abide by Carter's program. He is sober now and counsels other vets in the program. "It put me back in a leadership position. The veterans' court prescribed a nice, detailed pattern of what you need to do in order to get onboard," says the retired Marine.
There are about 100 other veterans like Davis who have gone through the program in Harris County. Similar court programs for veterans have been started in 27 states.

Fr. Justin Okoro advises Christians not to despair in prayer – As Enugu State Women hold thanksgiving
The Parish Priest of St. Mulumba Parish, Owerri, Rev. Fr. Justin Okoro has advised Christians not to despair in prayer no matter the situation.
Preaching during a thanksgiving Mass by the Enugu State Indigenes Association, (Women's Wing,) Owerri branch, Fr. Okoro noted that we hear God's words in the church but live differently from what we hear, adding that some twist the teachings they hear to suit their needs in the home.
"We persist in sin, lack charity and are hard-hearted and because of that our perennial problems persist", he further preached.
The priest further observed that some Christians live hypocritical lives by playing the angel when they are in the church but in reality they are devil itself. "We pretend to be evangelists, seers, wear long chaplets, medals and scapulars but in actual life we habour hatred for others just because of history passed down to us by our ancestors.
He advised that we should have a change of heart and allow God to use His Gospels to destroy this seed of hatred sown in our families, places of residence and business.
He noted that when some Catholics are confronted with one problem or the other, they want instant miracle, they want their prayers to be answered in their own way and in their own time.
Fr. Okoro warned that moving from one church to the other in search of solutions indicates lack of faith, trust and patience. "God does not want miracle seekers but those who genuinely trust in Him, look up to Him and have faith in Him. God wants a persistent faithful follower. Wait for the appointed time. It may tarry but it will surely come".
The clergyman praised the Enugu State Women for seeing the necessity of giving thanks to God for His love to them and encouraged them not to relent in their faith but more especially to show true love to all they come across, family members, friends and neighbours.
The thanksgiving Mass was part of the activities to kick-start the launching of the Association's Constitution and unveiling of their new uniform which took place at Ikenegbu Girls Secondary School Owerri.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chairlady of the association, Lady Charity Ani, said the event was used to solicit financial support to enable them support some of their indigent members.
The occasion was attended by prominent Enugu State indigenes in Owerri, in-laws and friends of the association including the Special Adviser to the Imo State Governor on protocol, Hon. Alfred Ononogbo, an indigene of Enugu State, the Chairman of the Eungu State Indigenes in Imo, Chief Tom Onyeagwa , Prof. Dan Dan Ekezie, Lady Eunice Idih, Lady Julie Anyanwu among others.

Covid-19 robs 2020 Owerri Archdiocesan Day/Odenigbo lecture of usual festivities
…Half a loaf better than no bread at all – Archbishop Obinna
By Emeka Ani
The usual pomp and pageantry that characterize the Owerri Archdiocesan Day/Odenigbo lecture did not feature this year due to Covid-19 pandemic, thus leading to a low-key celebration.
Not only that the usual lecture did not hold, the "Odenigbo Eve," which usually involves a variety of cultural entertainment, including dances, drama, singing and wrestling contests did not feature at all; Covid-19 emebiela ihe!
But according to Most Rev. Anthony Obinna, Catholic Archbishop of Owerri and founder, Odenigbo lecture series, who filled the gap created by the absence of this year's lecture, "kama ehi mmadu ga-agbafucha, o ka mma igbubiri ya odu". (It is better to accept less than one wants or expects than to have nothing at all.)
The Owerri Archdiocesan Day is an annual celebration to commemorate the 1994 elevation of the Catholic Diocese of Owerri to an Archdiocese. The celebration began in 1996.
According to Archbishop Obinna, the "arch-ness bestowed on the diocese was an invitation challenge to root the gospel of salvation deep into our lives and culture, to purify, rectify and sanctify every part of our culture, to reject what is evil, harmful and inhuman therein."
This year, the Archdiocesan Day, which was held on Saturday September 5, began with a thanksgiving Mass as usual at Maria Assumpta Cathedral Owerri. It was presided over by Most Rev. Anthony Obinna assisted by the Catholic Bishop of Aba, Most Rev. Augustine Echema and the Auxiliary Bishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Moses Chikwe, Episcopal Vicars and several priests.
The Cathedral, unlike in the past was half-filled following directives by the Archdiocese that only those invited would be admitted to ensure compliance with the Covid-19 protocols, especially physical distancing.
In his homily at the Mass, Bishop Echema described Owerri as a special Archdiocese that produced two bishops in one year; a reference to the appointment of Bishop Chikwe and himself in 2019.
Commending Archbishop Obinna for establishing Odenigbo lecture series, Bishop Echema highlighted the importance of native language, saying there is correlation between language and culture.
Bishop Echema emphasized the importance of native language in evangelization and advised ndigbo to take Igbo Language seriously, speak Igbo, write Igbo and dream in Igbo, because "when one dreams in a language, it shows that one understands not only the language but also the culture of the people."
The thanksgiving Mass was followed by fund-raising for archdiocesan projects especially the building of a new Archdiocesan Secretariat, a minor seminary and a monastery, after which the faithful relocated to the Obiri-Odenigbo for refreshment and a talk in place of the 2020 Odenigbo lecture which was to be delivered by Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, Papal Nuncio to Trinidad and Tobago. Because of the coronavirus and the total lockdown, the lecturer could not arrive Nigeria for the lecture, titled: Otu Chukwu: Otu Obara, Mbikozi Umu Mmadu. The lecture has now been differed to 2021.
However, in its place and to ensure this year's Odenigbo is not totally a failure, Archbishop Obinna delivered what he called a "Talk" but eventually became a lecture. He titled it: ODENIGBO: ENYEMAKA PURUICHE N'IJI ASUSU IGBO EZISAZI – ANABATACHA OZIOMA KRISTI.
In the 57-page lecture, which he delivered with the same vigor and vitality as he did in 2000 when he delivered that year's Odenigbo lecture – "UJUNWA: Anuri Uwa Niile," Archbishop Obinna, explained that the need to intensify and expand the saving work of Christ among ndigbo and within the Igbo religio-cultural context through Igbo Language gave rise to Odenigbo.
He commended the white missionaries for bringing the Goodnews of salvation to Igboland and elsewhere even though they did not give much attention to the use of Igbo Language in evangelization, apart from the Catechism and other publications like Ndu Dinwenu Anyi.
Archbishop Obinna recalled with nostalgia, a historical event which took place on September 20, 1970 during the Episcopal ordination of Bishop Mark Unegbu at Mt. Carmel Catholic Church, Emekuku.
"That day was unforgettable in the use of Igbo Language and Igbo music and instrument to celebrate Mass. For the first time, since 1885 Gloria in Excelsis Deo (Otito Diri Chineke n'elu kacha elu) was sung in Igbo (instead of Latin) with Igbo instrument amid jubilation.
Describing Christ as Odenigbo, Odenuwa, Amarachi Obinna said, he (Christ) has freed ndigbo from ancient and modern fears, occasioned by traditions and customs that terrorize and hold ndigbo captive.
Concluding the lecture, he observed that the modern darkness we see today is based on stupidity and pride, when some people want to recreate themselves, do whatever they like, without fear of God or man because of greed, modernity, science and technology.
"We had thought that the end of Nigeria-Biafra war will bring peace to the country but unfortunately there is still fear and anxiety in Igboland and Nigeria, people are living in fear, the world is living in fear."
For man to have peace of mind and live in peace, in a world full of fear, the lecturer said there was need for us to receive the light of Christ and gift of the spirit; take the word of God seriously and live a life of humility, devoid of pride based on academic qualifications, scientific and technological discoveries and material acquisitions.
"These will give way to a life of humility, love and mercy and the beauty of the world created by God will manifest in you and in the society."
"It is only in the gospel message of Christ – who is Odenuwa and Odenigbo that one can proudly say; "The world is beautiful (Uwa Amaka), he said.
In a vote of thanks, the Auxiliary Bishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Moses Chikwe said the standing ovation that greeted the Archbishop's special lecture was a proof that the talk was well delivered and well received, adding that the Archbishop is always at home with Igbo Language.
The takeaway of the lecture, according to Bishop Chikwe, was that Igbo Language is beautiful and its beauty was rooted in Christ, the Odenigbo, who is neither white nor black.
Though Mbem Odenigbo (Odenigbo Anthem) and Ekwe Odenigbo did not feature at the lecture, the cultural dance by the CWO of Our Lady Queen of Peace, Egbeada entertained the audience, thus giving the occasion a semblance of Odenigbo celebration.
HRH Eze Peter Opara inaugurates cabinet
…As traditional leadership gets boost at Umunumo Ancient Kingdom
By Magnus Ibe
The Traditional leadership of Umunumo Autonomous Community, Ehime Mbano LGA of Imo State received a resounding boost on Sunday August 23, as the cabinet members were formally inaugurated by HRH, Eze Peter Chima Opara (Eze Udo II).
The assemblage of top brass personalities into the cabinet is indicative of robust prospects for the growth and development of the Ancient Autonomous Community.
Inaugurating the members of the Eze-in-Council, the Royal Father charged the inductees to shun personal interest and put the community in the front burner for a rapid transformation and development. He enjoined the cabinet members to be proactive, articulative and dogged about the welfare of the community, employment and empowerment of the youths so that a new chapter is enacted.
According to him, many are called, but few are chosen. He charged them to move the community to the next level by articulating right attitude and formulate policies that will accelerate the development of the community.

St. Michael's Choir Umuaro wins singing competition
By Magnus Ibe
Monsignor Jerry Ofoegbu presided over the activities heralding the Silver Jubilee anniversary celebration of Rev. Sr. Mary Ifechukwudere Emeribe which kicked-off at St. Charles Parish Umunumo, Ehime Mbano LGA Saturday August 29, with worship and praises to the glory of God with a singing competition among four parishes.
Msgr. Ofoegbu, the Dean of Ehime Deanery expressed profound gratitude to God for His mercies and goodness culminating in the silver jubilee anniversary celebration of Rev. Sr. Emeribe of Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy congregation (DMMM) who is billed to mark the 25th year anniversary celebration of her profession in December.
The event was graced by Rev. Frs. Paschal Nwaobasi, Boniface Edomobi, Nnamdi Anyanwu, Andrew Agbiogwu who extolled the Silver Jubilarian for keeping faith and for being involved in the spread of evangelism. He appreciated her niece for commencing her celebration with the singing competition among the parishes in her home Umunumo community.
The competing parish choirs included: St. Charles Parish Choir Umunumo led by David Ohaeri, St. Ignatius Parish Choir Ibeafor Umunumo led by Okorie Damian, St. Michael's Parish Choir Umuaro-Umunumo headed by Jim Nnorom and St. Theresa's Parish Choir Umuoma Nzerem led by Fidelis Osuji.
In her remarks prior to the commencement of the competition, Rev. Sr. Emeribe observed that the event marks the beginning of the celebration heralding her profession and consecration in the Lord's vineyard. According to her, she was motivated by St. Augustine who said that "whoever sings well, prays twice."
According to her, she started the induction of the four competing parish choirs on March 23, 2020. She posited that she was motivated to help upgrade the choir because most times, "external" choirs were hired to animate Eucharist worship at burials and weddings due to the poor and inferior choir at the locality.
She disclosed that she included St. Theresa's choir Umuoma Nkerem because she served there for over ten years. She observed that even participating choirs will have a token of appreciation and a certificate of participation. She said the star prize of one hundred thousand naira (N100,000) goes to the eventual winner of the competition in addition to the customized trophy.
According to her, her intentions to help groom a central choir from the whole Umunumo Ama-Iri community and she hopes that the competition will become an annual event.
The team of judges from Abia State led by Nath Nwoko (Rochobath) included, Amarachi Udochika and Obinna Osisiogu.
At the end of the competition, the choir from St. Michael's Parish Umuaro won the first prize and were given the their prize money after each choir rendered five Christian renditions each.

No relief yet for Uzodimma: As Senior Advocate exhumes Imo Supreme Court case

Ireland plans to entice its senior citizens to invest in Irish bonds through their pension plans. If it succeeds, it could avoid having to seek a second bailout—although sales of bonds to such "captive buyers" are not as positive as if they were snapped up on the open market.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that Prime Minister Enda Kenny hopes to put Ireland back on firmer financial footing, and part of his plan is to make it easier for pension plans to invest in Ireland's own sovereign bonds instead of the top-rated German Bunds they customarily purchase. The government is discussing ways to encourage pension managers to switch to annuities that depend on lower-rated, higher-yielding securities—like Irish bonds.
Irish sovereign debt with a maturity date of 2020 currently offers a return of 8.8%, compared with a 2% return for similar German Bunds of like maturity. Those higher rates of return could also help pension plans that are underwater. Aer Lingus Group Plc said in January that it would consider such a plan to help cut its deficit, saying, "These measures seek to preserve a higher level of pension benefit for members than would be the case if the scheme were wound up, which Aer Lingus believes is inevitable in the absence of corrective action."
Still, the plan is not without risk. Current rules say that if a government issuer of sovereign bonds defaults, the pension plan must make up the difference to the pensioner. The proposed rule would exempt pension plans from doing so in the case of Irish bonds and the pensioner would take the loss.
"If it works, then it's part of the choreography of a return to the market and will be hailed as good news," Eoin Fahy, an economist at Kleinwort Benson Investors in Dublin, was quoted saying. "But it's more complicated than that, as to some extent Irish pension funds are a 'captive buyer.' It will be seen as less positive than if the money was raised on the open market through an auction."
Fahy added, "Trustees may decide sovereign annuities are too risky because essentially it passes the risk to the pensioner. On the other hand, they could decide a pension with lots of risk is better than no pension at all."

Rayman Origins Review
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Rayman is back to pull out all the stops and break a few speed limits.
Vidya is broken.
the video is broken it should be fixed soon
Working on it! Bit of a hiccup in the system this morning.
What? I have to "read" the review first? I am a very busy man.
Damn you Origins. I thought I'd go through this month while keeping my budget low by not buying any $50+ games (Most expensive game being the Team Ico Collection) but you look so great... Maybe I'll have to get you...
What I will add gents, is this is the perfect game if you've got a girlfriend that occasionally picks up a pad.
Gotta admit though, I've only had a few rounds of the demo. It is a great game, but I ain't dropping those kind of notes on a simple, old-school platformer.
Simple? Some of the levels get quite complex and sometimes it feels like I'm playing Prince of Persia once you're able to really flow with the game.
Video is up! Apologies for the delay.
Enjoyed the demo and this review confirmed my thoughts: definitely getting this!
I bought the Wii version last weekend and judging from the video, I'm surprised at how much was retained in the Wii version, I can even confirm it looks identical to the Wii version, except for the HD resolution, wich in my opinion, it's not that necessary for this game, it looks gorgeous at steady 60 fps.
The moment you mentioned the soundtrack, I had the feeling you'd mention that level and I was right, one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard from a platformer and that's saying a lot.
In fact, this may be the best thing Ubisoft has ever done this entire generation.
Great review.
finally a Rayman game which doesnt involve Rabbids!
I tried my hardest not to buy this game, honestly I did. <:(
...but I really, really want this. Not only the game, but the soundtrack as well.
Damn you Ubisoft. I'm sold. Shops tomorrow.
Although I've only played the demo, I don't mean simple as a synonym for easy... Megaman games are simple: you run in one direction, this button shoots, this button jumps, this one slides, but easy they ain't. Rayman has running, jumping, grabbing and elementary combat, and apart from the odd change up(flying levels for example), it doesn't go much beyond that. Once you've completed it, you're invited to do it all again, only optimally. And that's pretty much your lot.
I don't count that against the game very much, it is what it is and does it very well, and I respect that, but there simply isn't enough reasons for me to spend a full £40 on that game when there is so much else right now.
Sorry? How'd you manage that!?
Ah, now we're on the same page. My dad wanted the game and we pre-ordered it and got Beyond Good and Evil HD for free which is pretty solid of a deal.
I find Rayman much better than Donkey Kong and Super Mario, if only because Rayman is very fair giving you plenty of hearts and has checkpoints everywhere!
Only real complaint I would make, objectively, is that while the graphics are nice, parents might get the idea that it's a game for kids, and the difficulty says otherwise methinks. That is, 12 and up should be fine.
Before I carry on, if I got BGE:HD with it, I'd have snapped that bitch up! Thats a wicked old game that is...
Anywho, while I agree with you pretty much entirely good sir, I think you hit on an interesting discussion point at the end there.
I would argue that this IS a game for kids, in the real(good) old school way. And I think that's a great thing, there are loads of complex(in whatever way that means for you really) games out there with all manner of combat systems, objective types, genres, level up mechanics, stats and allsorts out there for older gamers, but I personally applaud a game aimed at younger gamers that encourages a healthy challenge.
My betters halfs little brother is just getting into console gaming, and I can attest that when looking at games that he can play and will actually like enough to get into gaming proper, the pickings from that perspective are pretty slim...
Besides, it can't be any worse then what we had back in the day... You lost all your lives little Johnny? START THE FUCK AGAIN!! STOP CRYING!! You're near the last boss and have to go to bed? TOUGH SHIT! NO SAVE POINTS FOR YOU! Can't solve this puzzle or beat this boss? THERE AIN'T NO INTERNETS TO HELP YOU BITCH, YOUR ASS IS MINE!!!!
True enough, I was just thinking that like, Mega Man X2 was more graphically atuned for 12 and up while Rayman looks like a cartoon show (that is, it's pwetty), which means a 5 year old may recieve this game and I don't see how they could manage getting past the first water level. I died at least 10 times myself on that one but that's because the level is really, really poorly designed (don't get me wrong, at least 3 levels are utterly blown me away because they are both steadily difficult and have awesome set pieces).
And don't make me get into that water level because if so I'm going to have to voice record it because I'm tired of typing the issues with that level.
I played co-op with my dad and hated it. Primarily because my dad is not as good a gamer (by any amount) as me, plus he kept slapping me instead of the enemy.
Now if you played with an actual gamer, sure, might be fun, never tried it.
Not worth $60. I would have bought it for $20, maybe $30. I was shocked this wasn't just an arcade download.
People should try the demo tho.
I played the demo, and was thoroughly interested, but the question remains: is it a £40+ platformer, if such things can exist.
I've played Rayman 3 before, and it was really good. God knows how many Rabbids games later, he's back, and from the sound of things he's doing just as good as ever. They seem to have gone back to the first game's style; considering getting this one, possibly.
60 levels you say?
Scantilly clad nymphs you say?
Looks good; I hope it comes out on Steam someday.
Im adding this to my "Want more than air!!" pile.
Errrrrg, I get it if people are strapped for cash right now, but I hate the idea that a 2D platformer isn't allowed to be a full game. Back in my day, we paid full price for 2D games like Earthworm Jim or Oddworld and we didn't complain. *shakes cane angrily*
Trust me, I own the game and just because it doesn't have fancy 3D graphics doesn't mean it's not worth a purchase. It has quite a bit of content and it's probably the best 2D platformer I've played this generation. Much better than stuff like New Super Mario Bros Wii or Donkey Kong Country Returns. (a possible exception is Braid and/or LIMBO, but that doesn't really count)
Also, Michel Ancel needs money, or we're never gonna get Beyond Good and Evil 2. :(
Sorry, as far as I know, back in my day (Pitfall), and today (anything Nintendo), 2d platformers didn't, and don't, cost $60. I could be wrong, but none come to mind.
But at the cost of a dollar a level, and the HD artwork put forth IS rather stunning, I can see why some would want this for it's price. But as I said, after the demo, I'm not one of them.
And as far as Beyond Good and Evil 2 goes.... that was a joke. The part about Rayman having to sell well I mean. The game is a go, it would have just made things easier (they could devote more extra time/resources) if they had the extra cash.
My type of game.
so if I buy this will there me a beyond good and evil 2?
Too bad this game will be a financial failure because no one wants to pay 60$ for a 2D platformer nowadays.
Probably my favourite platforming game is the first Rayman. Watching this has made me want to replay it, but I have no idea where my disc is.
wounder if yahtzee will review this
I don't think it is very much like the other Rayman games which is a litte sad.
For example, I do not enjoy the fact that my character is 1/30 of the screen but I know that the team decided to make it that way in order to make fast-paced gameplay, as well as multiplayer, possible.
It is a great game and I am glad I spent my money on it but I was hoping for more of a Rayman experience... You know... Like Rayman 1,2 or 3.
But I haven't yet played through the game, so who knows, maybe something will happen at the end story-wise that will make this a more memorable part of the Rayman series. For now, this was the least enjoyable game from the four main games.
I still love love LOVE it though! Especially the soundtrack! :DD
Look at those COLOURS!!
A bit of an update you can buy it for about £20 online on amazon uk etc or about £25 in Game/Gamestation. I bought it on a whim as I've not bought a game in a while and so far it is well worth it, I never liked 3D Rayman to be honest it's much like 3D sonic...
If you liked the first Rayman or platformers in general it's a worth while purchase at a good price.

A survey of members in Administrative Services (aka Component 12) told us jobs weren't being backfilled during vacations/leaves and the majority of members didn't believe their workplaces were properly staff. As a result, workloads were unmanageable.
We created the Breakaway campaign to encourage members to avoid stress and burnout by taking their breaks.
Please join us in wishing Component 12 vice president, Lori Joaquin, all the best as she embarks on her next journey, retirement!
Lori is an icon in our union, and has been a dedicated activist for decades. Her work and accomplishments are too many to list here, but here is a summary of her extraordinary work.

More than £400m is being invested in capital projects such as schools and roads without extra borrowing, Somerset County Council's Cabinet heard yesterday (Monday).
An update on approvals of capital spending – spending on buildings and structures rather than running costs – showed that the current programme amounts to more than £410m. This includes spending on schools in Bridgwater, Taunton and Yeovil; road safety schemes, work on footways, bridges and Rights of Way across Somerset.
Yesterday's Cabinet meeting also heard that the Council's current capital projects are being delivered almost entirely on budget, with an overspend of just 0.1%
The meeting also highlighted an approval of £200,000 which will go towards the part purchase of the former St Augustine School site in Taunton which recently became redundant following the creation of Taunton Academy.
The former school site will be used to provide additional early years and special school places along with a production kitchen for the provision of school meals.
Councillor David Huxtable, Cabinet Member for Resources, said: "This represents a huge amount of investment that will bring benefits to people across the county. Even in the current financial climate, it is vital that we continue to look to the future and make sure we have the schools and infrastructure we really need.
"We are investing in the things that are important to our residents, and the fact that such a large amount of work is being delivered within budget in the vast majority of cases is something our staff should be proud of."

We can see the moon in the night because it reflects sunlight. But the light is incident on the opposite side of moon with respect to the observer in the night.
In this case, how does the moon reflect light?
I am not sure if I have articulated my question correctly.
