This academic year, we at the School of Theology and Ministry are taking time each month to reflect on a theme as a learning community. Every month, a faculty or staff member offers up a personal reflection, exploring how that month's theme applies to their life and work. (See here for an overview of these themes, which will also be highlighted in each month's school e-newsletter.)→
The theme for our school community this February 2016 is "Nourish." We choose to unite. We choose to nourish body, mind and spirit.
When I was invited to offer a reflection on this theme, I felt compelled to share my recent experience with the One Night Count in King County, and reflect on the personal and systemic implications of human brokenness, connection and compassion.
By Hannah Hunthausen, Program Coordinator, School of Theology and Ministry (Originally published 2/2/16 on the School of Theology and Ministry website)
Last Friday morning, around 4:00am, my flashlight roved over the park grounds and rested briefly on a human figure bundled up on the ground beneath a picnic shelter. I stared for a moment before turning out my light, and the image burned behind my eyes. A sharp pit gnawed at my stomach as we made a note and moved on.
It was the 2016 One Night Count of homeless people in King County, and our team had already seen and counted several people sleeping in their cars in grocery store parking lots and next to auto-repair shops (an all-too-common sight in neighborhoods like Ballard, SODO, and along sections of Aurora, where folks try to find a place to park where they won't be harassed, disturbed, or ticketed).
But it was the individual in the park who jarred and haunted me. There was something about that lonely figure in the still, silent night that magnified anew the raw human tragedy of homelessness. There – a fellow human being, totally alone, isolated and vulnerable on the cold hard ground of a deserted park in the wee hours of the morning.
It was overwhelming.
Where was his mother? Is she out there somewhere worrying about her son? Does this person in the sleeping bag have friends to share her dreams and fears with, laugh with, and call on when she needs help? What gets him or her up in the morning and through each day? And what must it be like to try to find rest and safety alone in the open air on a cold January night?
When the numbers were announced a few hours later, I found out that he or she was one of 4,505 people sleeping out of doors in our county (a 19% increase from last year's count).
Now, a few days later, I continue to reflect on what it says about our society, our communities and our neighborhoods that we allow our neighbors – siblings, parents, children, grandparents – to sleep in their cars, on the street, under bridges, in shelters, and in places where they can't find the peace, safety and stability of "home."
Homelessness is not just about a lack of housing and resources, or about bad choices or tough luck. I believe it's a symptom of many layers of brokenness – the brokenness of a society that doesn't ensure and provide for the wellbeing of all of its people, the brokenness among different groups and communities who don't communicate with or adequately support one another, the brokenness of modern life that simultaneously connects us yet stymies and weakens social bonds, and the brokenness in each of us that prevents us from living fully into our humanness and compassion for each other.
Nourishing and Flourishing
When I was invited to reflect on the word "nourish," this pervasive brokenness that allows for social ills like homelessness came immediately to mind. The way I see it, homelessness is a symptom of various forms of malnourishment – and we humans need nourishing well beyond the biological.
I like to think of "nourishing" and the concept of "flourishing" together. These words conjure up a vision of the "good life," speaking to the things that sustain human life and make it meaningful and whole.
We are, after all, social, relational, material and spiritual beings who can only truly flourish if we nourish mind, body, and spirit–in ourselves and in others.
I was reminded recently of the analogy of the oxygen mask in the airplane to explain the concept of self-care. The idea is that you need to make sure you've taken care of yourself before you can successfully take care of others.
For my part, I've been working a lot more on self-care this year and I've noticed it slowly transforming my ability and capacity to be present to others and to seek and do more of what I find meaningful in this world. I'm about halfway through a nine-month long Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life retreat – nine months of making time and space for spiritual nourishment each day and actively seeking and finding God in all things. By taking this time for myself and for my relationship with God, I've opened up new spaces in myself for others.
One of the places I find God most often is in the faces, words and actions of the people in my life – in my fiancé, friends, family, the people I work with and the people I meet on the street. Ironically, I'm holed away in my office while writing this, but it's true that my days are most enriched and light-filled when I'm intentional about making more time to nurture the relationships in my life, from a conversation with a coworker about their child to a couple of extra minutes talking about weather and politics with a Real Change vendor.
I think if we all took a little more time to nourish ourselves and our relationships with others, we just might be able to acknowledge, move beyond and maybe even heal some of our own brokenness and the brokenness of the world.
I saw a thought-provoking video recently on YouTube called "Everything We Think We Know About Addiction is Wrong." (You can also watch the original TED Talk on the topic, here.) The video reviews many of the things I've already mentioned–that we are innately social beings who crave relationships and interaction with one another and are most fulfilled when we are nourishing healthy connections with others. The narrator explains that when we are deprived of these connections because we are "traumatized, isolated, or beaten down by life" we turn to other things to fill the void – it might be drugs or alcohol, or it might be our smartphone, video games, or gambling. Hence, the video's moral: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection."
We are all broken in our own ways. In spite of and because of this, we all need connection, and are deserving of love, mercy, and justice.
I just finished reading, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, by Bryan Stevenson, and his are the words that sparked my ruminations on brokenness. I want to leave you with his words now:
I guess I'd always known but never fully considered that being broken is what makes us human. We all have our reasons. Sometimes we're fractured by the choices we make; sometimes we're shattered by things we would never have chosen. But our brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing. Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurtures and sustains our capacity for compassion. We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope for healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity. (Stevenson, p. 289)
If we're going to bring about a more just and humane world and end homelessness, we need to embrace and engage the brokenness at its root. Then, together, and from a place of compassion and love, we can go on to nourish and build the healing relationships and systems that will transform the world.
If you're interested in learning and doing more, watch this great video by All Home and be part of the community (our community) that's working to end homelessness!

Taylors Garages Premier Division
Lee Llewellyn was on target for Billinghay Athletic in their 1-1 draw at home to Benington.
A late penalty miss denied Benington victory in a game dominated by a difficult strong wind. Tom Baxter's 85th minute spot-kick was saved by home keeper Phil Soltys and the visitors had to be content with a share of the spoils.
Matthew Hood had opened the scoring for Benington in the first half before Billinghay levelled the scores after the break when Llewellyn pounced to salvage a point.
There was another 1-1 draw, this time at Skegness Town Reserves where Coningsby were the visitors. Josh Whittam grabbed the Skegness goal.
Old Leake's strike duo, of Adam Tempest and Scott Mackay put Ruskington Rovers to the sword in their home encounter in very windy conditions. Both players claimed hat-tricks as Leake ran out 7-1 winners.
Tempest opened the scoring after five minutes and he added a second soon afterwards. James Leafe made it 3-0 before Tempest completed his hat trick when he hit Leake's fourth after a corner had been cleared back out to
the striker.
In the second half, Mackay begun his scoring feat by eading home at the near post before Rovers reduced the arrears through Nathan Phillips. Steve Green was brought down in the penalty area and Scott Mackay stepped up to convert the spot-kick, although the Ruskington keeper made a valiant effort to keep it out.
Mackay completed the scoring with a towering header.
Taylors Ford Division Two
Two goals from striker James Todd helped Coningsby Reserves to a 3-1 home win against Kirton Town Reserves. Sean Taylor hit the other Coningsby goal.
Daniel Long also hit two goals for Pointon Reserves in their 3-1 home win against basement side Mareham United. Jason Chilvers was also on target for Pointon.
Challenge Cup
Friskney were made to fight for their passage through to the third round when the Division One outfit squeezed out FC Hammers 3-2.
Chris Harker, Jed Stainton and Victor Sibert hit the Friskney goals but third division Hammers remained in the tie until the final whistle.
Third Division underdogs Pointon A put up a tremendous fight at Division One leaders Boston College before also bowing out 3-2.
Gary Handley and Charlie Good grabbed the Pointon goals but the College held out to book their place in the next round.

... That kept me home,
... That gave me time: To block (AND blog, twice in one day)...
Like a stuck pig, as the saying goes
Mom's scarf, in soggy repose
ALSO. Have you heard about all this cloning business? The gist is that the FDA has found no discernible difference between cloned animal products and non-cloned animal products (this includes meat and by products like milk or cheese). This means that, like genetically modified products, no labelling requirements will be made, thereby taking away the consumer's right to choose between natural and cloned food. EEK!
I will leave the decision to act or not act up to you, but I am curious about this, and am hoping to start a discussion...
- Would you want to knit with wool from a cloned sheep or goat? Would you want to know if you were?
- Chances are that some of the newer vegetable fibers are from genetically modified plants, does that bother you?

Members of the Society of Jesus are often accused of excessive pride in their order and its history. This can be a fair critique. Sometimes, for example, Jesuits speak as if St. Ignatius Loyola were the first Christian to discover prayer. Not long ago at a retreat house, I gave a talk about Ignatian spirituality, which prompted a Benedictine in the audience to say, with good nature, "You know, St. Benedict used to pray from time to time too! "But there are some things of which the Jesuits and their colleagues can be justly proud, and for which they can be abundantly grateful to God. Their record in the arts is among them.
A newly published book, Jesuits and the Arts: 1540-1773, is the first comprehensive survey of the worldwide artistic enterprise of the early Society of Jesus. By any measure, this new volume is brilliantly conceived, consistently fascinating and absolutely gorgeous to look at. Beginning with a chapter entitled Saint Ignatius and the Cultural Mission of the Society of Jesus, written by John W. O'Malley, S.J., the study takes the reader on a journey through the history of Jesuit architecture in Europe (including an entire chapter on the Church of the Gesù in Rome); the influence of the Society on Italian Renaissance and Baroque painting; the surprising story of Jesuit theater; the artistic, and especially architectural, heritage of the Jesuits in Latin America (including the legacy of the Reductions in South America, made well known by the movie The Mission); and the Jesuit-influenced artistic achievements in North America and Asia. Jesuits and the Arts represents the first time that these disparate threads have been pulled together in a single volume.
This impressive work of scholarship, boasting contributions from an array of experts from Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Argentina and the United States, has been edited by Father O'Malley, professor of church history at Weston Jesuit School of Theology, in Cambridge, Mass., and Gauvin Alexander Bailey, professor of art history at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. (An earlier version of the book appeared in 2003 in Italian, French and Spanish, edited by Giovanni Sale, S.J.)
The book's scholarship is more than matched by the full-color images that crowd every page. Quite simply, this is one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen. It continues the new tradition of richly made books from St. Joseph's University Press, which published another lovely book in 2002 entitled Stained Glass in Catholic Philadelphia, whose prosaic title belies the book's depth of scholarship and the beauty of its pages.
Jesuits and the Arts arrives at a propitious time. Starting this month, the Society of Jesus will begin celebrating what it is calling a jubilee year, marking three important Jesuit anniversaries. Five hundred years ago St. Francis Xavier, the great missionary, was born. So was Blessed Peter Faber, a Jesuit somewhat less well known among the general public, but who was said by Ignatius to be the best giver of the Spiritual Exercises in his time. The Society of Jesus and its colleagues will also mark in 2006 the 450th anniversary of the death of St. Ignatius.
So perhaps the Jesuits and their co-workers can, at least for the next year or so, be forgiven for showing some pride and being just a little more grateful to God. To share in our celebration we offer over these next few pages a sampling of images from Jesuits and the Arts.
In the print version of America, this article is accompanied by photos from Jesuits and the Arts: 1540-1773.

NEWTOWN, Conn.—There are, in essence, two possible routes you can take from Adam Lanza's house, a two-story, pale yellow colonial nestled in an affluent hillside development here, to Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The shortest—a scenic, five-mile, 10-minute drive—takes you past rolling hills, tree-dotted farmland, rivers and ponds; past clapboard houses tucked in the woods; past streets with names like Lone Oak Meadows and Johnny Appleseed Drive; past Zoar Cemetery, where 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was among the 20 children and six adults gunned down by Lanza at the school, is buried; past the Misty Vale Deli & General Store, one of at least three general stores in Newtown; past Newtown High School, where Lanza was briefly a student and where President Barack Obama delivered an emotional speech two days after the shootings; past Newtown Youth & Family Services, which has provided emergency counseling for families, community members and staff affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary school tragedy.
There are just three stoplights along this route, which funnels through "downtown" Sandy Hook and takes a right at the center of town (where the Christmas tree that served as a makeshift memorial in the wake of the massacre stands); goes past the Children's Adventure Center, where therapy golden retrievers were stationed in the days following the massacre; takes another right at the Sandy Hook volunteer firehouse, where parents of Sandy Hook survivors were reunited with their children in the immediate aftermath of the shootings; and then reaches the school.
[Slideshow: Images from Newtown]
The other—a 5.2 mile, 15-minute drive—takes you from Lanza's home on Yogananda Street past more large colonial homes with well-manicured lawns; along narrow, tree-lined roads and steep hills, several switchbacks and a one-lane bridge; past Treadwell Park, which served as the global media headquarters for the hundreds of reporters, television trucks and TV crews that descended on Newtown in the wake of the school shootings; and then takes a left onto Riverside Road and another at the firehouse on the corner of Dickenson Drive and then comes to Sandy Hook School. There are no stoplights.
It's unclear which one Lanza took on the morning of Dec. 14, 2012, after he shot his 52-year-old mother, Nancy, in the head with a .22 caliber rifle in the second-floor master bedroom in the home he shared with her, got in his black 2010 Honda Civic with a Bushmaster .223 caliber model XM15 rifle, two handguns and a 12-gauge shotgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition and headed toward the school that a witness interviewed by the FBI described as Lanza's "life."
We may never know.

What comes into your head when you read that word, gratuitously typed in all caps?
Bad breath? Farts that smell even worse? 14th century witch doctors getting sent to the crucible?
Something that's very good for you in spite of all these things?
Probably yes, yes, yes and YES!
I'm not much of a shaman, so I'll stay away from that.
But I do know a thing or two about herbs.
And garlic might be useful if you have an achy, breaky heart, among other things.


text: I have an ampeg SVT-3pro and i know i can hook up a preamp to the power amp section of the svt-3pro. Would it be possible to use an A/B switcher to go between the preamp and the actual amp itself? or would having a preamp plugged into the "power amp in" shut off the svt-3pro's preamp?? just a curious question in hopes of having a lot of versatility with few components FYI:the preamp would be an Ampeg SVP-BSP

Graphic Novel Review by Kerey McKenna
With his iconic blue, red, and yellow costume (bearing a strong resemblance to a certain Man of Steel), the superhero Captain Dynamo fought crime around the world and in his home territory of Tower City for decades. His five signature superpowers—strength, flight, super vision, telepathy, and shapeshifting—not to mention his good looks and natural charisma, made him one of earth's most powerful and well-respected superheroes. Until the day he died, anyway, in a seedy motel room, most likely while engaged in one of the many clandestine extra-marital affairs he had throughout his career.
Together they form—The Dynamo 5!
With this novel premise and diverse cast, creators Jay Faerber and Mahmud Asrar launch a high-flying adventure that is equal parts bold classic superhero tale and modern deconstruction of the same genre. Unlike some such deconstructionist melodramas, Dynamo 5 does not apologize for being a story about superheroes: the costumes are bold to the point of garish, the greatest threats to the city can be defeated with a sound thrashing, and, most importantly, despite all the danger, this world would be thrilling to inhabit. The deconstruction comes from examining the human element of this world of magic, mad science, and aliens, and playing with standard superhero tropes. The late Captain Dynamo, in public a mighty defender of truth and justice was, in reality a cheating heel and deadbeat father to the children that resulted from his serial indiscretions. His widow, having formerly played the role of damsel in distress, now calls the shots for a team of superheroes. And each of the Dynamo 5 has a distinct personality and interpretation of what it means to be a superhero and the child of a famous father they never knew.
While the dialogue in the first several chapters can be somewhat heavy on exposition, it's balanced by an engaging plot with lots of twists and turns. It says a lot that while the big two comic book companies attempt to maintain interest in their well-established characters with ever more convoluted reboots, re-imaginings, retcons, and recastings, Dynamo 5 is able to do so much with a completely new cast. Thanks to the great art team and the engaging premise, I couldn't put down the first volume, Post-Nuclear Family. Then I raced through the next four volumes in the course of a weekend. As far as I can tell, that's the entire run, although I hope it's just the entire run available in trade paperback. Volume 1 has a fairly complete story arc so I would highly recommend picking it up to enjoy either as a standalone adventure or as the introduction to a bold world full of potential.

The Hunter Enchants Cheat Sheet: Burning Crusade Edition
You want enchants. I see a lot of freshly-minted-70 hunters who do not have their gear enchanted, or have them enchanted incorrectly. Fear not, Pike is here to help while her WoWish avatar Tawyn goes off to get smashed at Brewfest (Seriously, part of Tawyn's RP is that she's an alcohol fiend. Brew-of-the-Month-Club has her name all over it.)
In this guide, I'm going to tell you the best enchants you can get per item slot, and how to get them. As a forewarning, do note that this list is PvE-oriented. So let's start at the top:
Glyph of Ferocity:
Requires: Revered reputation with the Cenarion Expedition. 85 gold with the Revered discount (80 with Exalted).
Get It From: Fedryen Swiftspear in Zangarmarsh.
Additional Commentary: This will net you 34 Attack Power, and 16 Hit Rating. This is a great inscription that will help you a lot in your quest to get hit-capped. Work on your Cenarion Expedition rep as you move through your 60s (lots of stuff in Zangarmarsh and Blade's Edge) and the remaining grind won't be that bad at all.
Inscription of Vengeance
Greater Inscription of Vengeance
Inscription of the Blade
Greater Inscription of the Blade
Requires: Honored for the green inscription, Exalted for the blue one, with either Scryer or Aldor. Aldor will need two Holy Dust for the lesser inscription and eight Holy Dust for the greater inscription, while Scryer will need two Arcane Runes and eight Arcane Runes, respectively.
Get It From: The person standing in the back of either Aldor or Scryer bank, depending on who loves you the most.
Additional Commentary: When you first hit 70, chances are good that you will not yet be exalted with the Shattrath faction of your choice. But it doesn't take much to be honored and net the lesser of the two available shoulder inscriptions for you. Once you've got that out of the way, you do want to work on getting up to exalted, eventually, so you can nab the Greater kind. Aldor's is more AP-oriented and Scryer's is more crit-oriented but they are both very solid inscriptions and you will be getting a good deal regardless of which faction you pick.
Enchant Cloak - Greater Agility
Requires: Greater Planar Essence x1, Arcane Dust x4, Primal Air x1
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: Simply the best hunter cloak enchant!
Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats
Requires: Large Prismatic Shard x4, Arcane Dust x4, Greater Planar Essence x4
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: +6 to all stats doesn't exactly sound special but it's a well-rounded enchant, and really the best we've got.
Enchant Bracer - Assault
Requiers: Arcane Dust x6.
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: Straight-forward, best hunter wrist enchant, and very nicely priced to boot!
Enchant Gloves - Assault (the K-Mart Gloves Enchant)
Enchant Gloves - Superior Agility
Requires: Assault: Arcane Dust x8. Superior Agility: Small Prismatic Shard x3, Greater Planar Essence x3, Primal Air x2
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: Superior Agility is the better of these two enchants, as it will give you AP and Crit and scale with Blessing of Kings. But Assault is a heckuva lot cheaper, and is a decent alternative if you have just recently hit 70 and are short on change.
Nethercleft Leg Armor
Nethercobra Leg Armor
Requires: Nethercleft: Heavy Knothide Leather x4, Thick Clefthoof Leather x16, Primal Earth x8, Primal Nether. Nethercobra: Heavy Knothide Leather x4, Cobra Scales x4, Primal Air x8, Primal Nether.
Get It From: A leatherworker, or the Auction House.
Additional Commentary: If you are having stamina problems that e-mail spam cannot solve, or you do a lot of PvP, the first choice will be fine for you. As you move from five-mans/heroics into raiding content and/or are very much PvE oriented, the second choice is much better DPS-wise.
Enchant Boots - Dexterity
Requires: Greater Planar Essence x8, Arcane Dust x8
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: Hunter-tested, hunter-approved!
One-Handed Weapon:
Enchant Weapon - Greater Agility
Requires: Arcane Dust x8, Greater Planar Essence x4, Large Prismatic Shard x6, Primal Air x2
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: The best enchant for dual-wielding. 'nuff said.
Two-Handed Weapon:
Enchant 2H Weapon - Savagery
Enchant 2H Weapon - Major Agility
Requires: Savagery: Large Prismatic Shard x4, Arcane Dust x40. Major Agility: Large Prismatic Shard x8, Greater Planar Essence x6, Arcane Dust x20.
Get It From: An enchanter.
Additional Commentary: These are both solid hunter enchants. But the way I see it, Savagery is more of a "just turned 70" enchant as opposed to Agi which is more of a "raiding 70" enchant. Savagery is cheaper and will be a big boost to your AP, which in my experience, is harder to come by in the early-70 game than it becomes later on. Major Agility is my personal preferred enchant here because it also gives you some crit, and of course, scales with Kings. But if you are a pre-Kara 70 who is still working on five-mans and Heroics and you don't wind up with pally buffs very often, Savagery is a fine replacement.
Ranged Weapon:
Khorium Scope
Biznicks 247x128 Accurascope
Stabilized Eternium Scope
Requires: Khorium Scope: Hardened Adamantite Tube, Khorium Bar, Star of Elune. Accurascope: Lava Core, Essence of Earth, Delicate Arcanite Converter, Dark Iron Bar, Thorium Tube. Stabilized Eternium Scope: Hardened Adamantite Tube x2, Felsteel Stabilizer x6, Star of Elune x2
Get It From: An engineer, or the Auction House.
Additional Commentary: You are a hunter; you should always have a scope on your weapon, period. Don't just save it up for that one special drop that may or may not happen. Get a scope. Khorium Scope is the cheapest here and if you are short on money and want a decent upgrade, it's your best bet. The Accurascope, while it does amazing things to your hit rating, is often in short supply because of Molten Core's sad relegation into the closet. In all honesty, the prize of most hunters is probably Stabilized Eternium Scope. It's expensive. It's worth it.
Okay, that'll do it. Let me know if I made any silly mistakes or left something out in my quest to get this done or otherwise fracked something up. Remember: don't underestimate the power of enchants! A hunter who always wants to perform at their best will have all their gear enchanted with the best enchants they can get, and that is a hunter who people will remember. Good luck!

Might want to add a cloak chant to that comprehensive list =D

What about the hunters that put mongoose on their 1h weapons? Does that work for hunter, cuz it seems more like a rogue/shammy/warrior enchant.
- September 25, 2008 at 1:20 AM
To the poster above: Mongoose does not proc off ranged attacks. Any hunter you see with it is in desperate need of further education.
- September 25, 2008 at 6:58 AM
- Pike said...
@ maebius - glad to be of service!
@ anotherclown - eep, I KNEW I was forgetting something >.>
@ Anonymous - Mongoose does not proc for hunters who stay at range. Nor does Fiery or that kind of stuff. Best to stick with the straight agi enchants.

Some comments. You may want a nice stat stick like the S3 axe and stick savagery or major agility, then have two one handed weapons like Breaching Comets with INT enchant. This is for when you are low on mana, you set a macro to swap these out and hit Viper and chug a fel mana pot at the same time (or just viper/swap). A similiar macro should be for aspect of hawk + 2H weapon. This minimizes the duration of viper and gets you back to full mana fast.
Lastly the difference in dps between savagery and major agi is 2-3 dps according to Cheekies.
Ok really last thing, the +10 scope is 10dps over nothing, whereas the +35 crit rating is...i'm not sure, 30 dps, it depends obviously on your AP. +10 is def. nice and a good place holder for something better.
Now we need an identical guide for Wraith!

Won't it be grand to post the +30 agility 1-h enchant and the +10 stats to chest?! (Im guessing, dont really read wrath stuff).
ohh...what about a +45 agility to 2-h wep! The +75 stamina +20 agility pants armor kit?? God I love ever increasing numbers on the same item :D

withingames - 5 von 5
Wenn neben Sid Meier irgendein Entwickler oder ein Entwicklerteam einen direkten Draht zum Spielegott hat, dann müssen das die Jungs von Irrational sein. Die beiden Freedom Force-Spiele zählen für mich zu den wenigen Softwareperlen, die man kennen sollte, ja kennen muss, sofern man sich selbst ernsthaft und mit gutem Gewissen Computerspieler nennen will. Abgedrehte Ideen ohne Ende, verpackt in ein hübsches, wenn vielleicht auch nicht allerletztes State-of-the-Art-Gewand und unterlegt mit der in meinen Augen besten Vertonung eines Spiels seit Äonen machen mich zum Junkie.
GBase - 90%
Wow! Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich ist in fast jeder Hinsicht gelungen. Wenn ich mit den vorgegebenen und unter anderem von Marvel-Comics inspirierten Superhelden die Levels in Schutt und Asche lege, kommt wahre Freude auf. Der Humor kommt dank irrwitziger Action-Szenen und genialen Comic-Zwischensequenzen auch nicht zu kurz.
gamesfreak - 87%
Der Titel ist ein absolutes Ausnahmespiel.
GameSurf - 87%
Freedom Force vs The Third Reich ist für mich bisher eine der positivsten Überraschungen dieses Spielejahres. Der eigenartige Mix aus Strategie- und Rollenspiel im Zusammenspiel mit der Comic ähnlichen Präsentation ist allerdings auch eines jener Spiele, die erst nach ein wenig Einarbeitung in das Charakterdesign auf den zweiten Blick begeistert.
Justgamers - 86%
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich ist einfach ein richtig schönes, witziges Spiel, das es sehr gut schafft, an den Vorgänger anzuknüpfen und die Flamme des Spaßes erneut zu entfachen. Die Grafik weiß zu überzeugen, die Geschichte und die Charaktere sind einfach abgefahren und witzig, sowie auch die englischen Dialoge. Zudem bietet es mit seiner Vielzahl an Schwierigkeitsgraden für Einsteiger und auch Hardcore Gamer mehrere Stunden Spaß, ohne dabei auch nur einmal Frust aufzubauen.
GameRadio - sehr gut
Leider wird das Spiel aber wahrscheinlich vom Mainstreem ignoriert. Ich kann euch wirklich nur empfehlen, kauft es euch. So ein herrlicher Blödsinn ist selten!

Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich ist ein Superhelden-Spiel mit angenehm viel Tiefgang und einer spielerisch anspruchsvollen sowie umfangreichen Kampagne.

Das wurde auch mal Zeit. Gute Taktikspiele gibt es bereits, doch keines bietet ein dermaßen abgedrehtes und stylisches Szenario wie 'Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich'. Unter der genialen Comicpersiflage steckt jedoch knallhartes Futter für Denker und Lenker, das selbst auf der leichtesten Stufe herausfordernd ist.

Wenn die ultra-heroische Freedom Force zur Hatz auf bitterböse Nazis bläst, lache ich mich schlapp und erinnere mich an meine seligen Tage als treuer Marvel-Fan.

Ein sehr spezielles Stück Gourmetsoftware: Wer etwas für 60er-Jahre-Comics, Klamaukpatriotismus und seichte Rollenspiele übrig hat, sollte sich Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich anschauen
Demonews - 79%
Die große Stärke von Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich ist zugleich auch die Schwäche des Spiels: Wer nichts mit dem abgefahrenen Setting anfangen kann und keinen Gefallen an dem Humor der tollen englischen Sprachausgabe findet, wird vermutlich wenig Freude an dem Spiel haben. Dazu sitzt die ungewöhnliche Mischung aus Rollenspiel und Strategie zu sehr zwischen den Stühlen. Taktiker werden mit einem der diversen Zweiter-Weltkrieg-Spiele vermutlich besser bedient, Echtzeitstrategen werden einen Aufbauteil vermissen und die Steuerung und die Notwendigkeit zum häufigen Pausieren verwünschen, während Rollenspieler vergeblich Dialoge und Rätsel suchen werden. Wer aufgrund der originellen Thematik Lust bekommen hat, erlebt allerdings einen sehr unterhaltsamen Genremix!
File Front - 5 von 5
Freedom Force Vs. the Third Reich is a great strategy game, a great RPG and most of all the best super hero game on the market.
Computer Gaming World - 5 von 5
Then again, it just might have felt short. Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is such an outstanding romp that you never want it to end. I'm hoping that the greatand totally appropriatecliff-hanger ending means more adventures to come. As with any great comic, I can't wait for the next issue.
Worthplaying - 97%
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is not just the best superhero game to date, but it defines what a fantastic superhero game should be. With a cliffhanger ending that'll leave you craving more and enough replay value in the different character combinations to keep you playing for weeks after you really should have stopped, we can only hope it doesn't take another three or four years for the hopefully inevitable sequel.
GameSpy - 4½ von 5
With the sequel, Irrational Games once again proves that they're a developer to be reckoned with. Are there deeper, more complex strategy games out there? Sure. There are very few games, though, that manage to take great gameplay and merge it with the kind of sheer exuberant style that brings a big goofy grin to your face that never leaves you while you're playing.
GameShark - 4½ von 5
Freedom Force vs. the 3RD Reich is a pretty impressive game that offers a lot of fun and cool happening moments that both comic book geeks (myself included) and fans of the original will love. It's the kind of game that makes you want to go out and buy a geeky t-shirt or a pocket protector with the logo Prominently displayed on to let the world know that you love this game.
GamerDad - 4½ von 5
All told Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich is more than just a solid and well-built strategy game. It's also more than one of the finest story-driven role-playing games available on the PC. It's both a parody and tribute to the four-color pages of yesteryear when spandex heroes fought against world menaces, like those infernal Nazis, using a mix of brain, brawn, and unrestrained hyperbole.
MyGamer - 94%
Irrational had a hit on their hands with the first Freedom Force. They were smart and kept things mostly the same in this sequel, only making tweaks where needed. The result is a game that is another winner. Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is tremendous fun. The graphics, sound, story, and customization are top-notch. Most importantly, however, the gameplay is amazing. Everything else just comes together, and it turns out terrific.
ActionTrip - 92%
Freedom Force Vs. The Third Reich is an excellent game that retains all the qualities of the original while managing to polish some of its minor flaws and build on the technological aspect of it. I am sure that this game isn't perfect, only I cannot think of any possible flaws that could significantly mar my overall impression. Furthermore, even once the single-player campaign is over, you'll be able to play online or via LAN with your friends and therefore extend the life of this excellent product.
Gaming Illustrated - 92%
FREEDOM FORCE VERSUS THE THIRD REICH is a solid hit and a good value for your gaming dollar.

Freedom Force vs. 3rd Reich is definitely a great action/strategy game, and definitely one of the best cartoon games available... and this definitely is one of the most fun games I have played this year.
Gaming Nexus - 91%
I highly recommend this to fans of the original, and to anyone with even a mild interest in superhero games. Heck, its also quite a solid squad-based strategy game, so those leery of the superhero genre could be brought into the fold. In short, give this game a try.
Game Chronicles - 90%
Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich is one of those titles that truly show the love and affection of a development team, and with a large community of fans- Irrational had to deliver again. Thankfully with beefed-up graphics, added multiplayer support and another solid storyline filled with classic comic goodness, they came through in heroic fashion.
IGN - 9 von 10
The only thing that could even possibly disappoint me here is that the game is almost a little too similar to the original. Given the three years since the first title, I expected that more than just the graphics would be improved. Sure, you get some new multiplayer modes but it's still hard to shake the feeling that this is just a prettier version of the original Freedom Force. That still makes it one of the best games around.
RPGDot - 90%
Freedom Force versus The Third Reich - much like its predecessor - is pure magic!
Club Skill - 9 von 10
This game is quite simply fantastic. The easy-to-grasp controls go hand in hand with the superb and original storyline - exactly what us gamers need. So many video games are becoming too realistic with graphics looking so good that you feel you are playing a movie. Were not saying these arent welcomed, because they most definitely are, but sometimes you just need to enter a more fantasy-based world with unrealistic comic book heroes who fly around and have special powers. Everyone at Club Skill now think we are the next Super Men - and lets face it who wouldnt after playing this game?
GameAxis - 9 von 10
Maybe bigger changes will happen on the third sequel in terms of including better features and improved gameplay, but until then, no matter how closely identical this game is with the original Ill be trading off my Saturday night bling-blings for briefs over trousers to save the world.
GameHelper - 9 von 10
Honestly, Im not sure where else to go with this review. The game is not entirely deep, but rather it keeps things extremely fun and extremely simple. While I tend of prefer RPGs over any other game style (except for FPS games of course), this style of RPG was new to me, and hopefully it would be a breath of fresh air to gamers new to the Freedom Force realm. With a balanced blend of role-playing and strategy, I cant see how Irrational Games could better perfect this blend.
Inside Gamer Online - 9 von 10
Our recommendation really couldn't be more glowing: there is nothing not to like about Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. It's colorful, funny, and an absolute blast to play, offering more gaming thrills than the proverbial barrel of monkeys. This is pure, unadulterated fun at its finest, so don't expect complex strategic decision making or hours of agonized role playing as you customize your characters.
Game Club Central - 9 von 10
I may be a comic-book lover of old, but I can honestly say that even non comic-book fans would truly enjoy this game. If only for the story this game is worth the forty bucks. Fortunately, the action itself is very immersive so the game won't stand alone on content alone, but also on ease of play and fun. The technical changes I can report are very positive, and with the open ending we see, you can expect to see yet another FF title down the road.
Games Domain - 9 von 10
All told, Freedom Force vs. 3rd Reich is more than just a solid and well-built strategy game. It's also more than one of the finest story-driven role-playing games available on the PC. It's both a parody and tribute to the four-color pages of yesteryear when spandex heroes fought against world menaces, using a mix of brain, brawn, and unrestrained hyperbole.
Gameguru Mania - 90%
Like the first game, Freedom Force 2 is quite simply fantastic. The easy-to-grasp controls go hand in hand with the superb and original storyline - exactly what us gamers need. I really enjoyed the original Freedom Force and this second version is just as good if not better. It's a game that makes you lose all sense of time.
PC Gameworld - 90%
All in all I would recommend Freedom Force Versus The Third Reich to any gamer out there, especially if you are looking for a new addictive game experience.
Gaming Excellence - 89%
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is a great addition to any gamers collection.
digitalentertainmentnews - 88%
Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich is a solid sequel with a much better story than the original, building on what was established before to deliver a more-engrossing single-player and online-play experience.
Gaming Horizon - 88%
If you like Strategy Games, or RPGs, I think youll definitely want to check out Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich. Its a refreshing RPG thatll give you the break youre looking for from todays MMORPGs and all the other RPGs youve played in the past (besides the first Freedom Force game). The comic book world of Freedom Force is both funny and entertaining, and filled with so much stuff for you to blow up that youll never get bored.
PC Gamer - 88% (Printmagazin)
(Das meist gelesene PC-Magazin der Welt!)
Although it's not an astonishing leap forward, Freedom Force vs the Third Reich does boast better graphics, better AI and better multiplayer than its predecessor, making it a winner all round!
GameBanshee - 87%
Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich is a terrifically unique game.
GameSpot - 87%
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich is absolutely worth playing if only for the story. Fortunately, the action itself is plenty entertaining, too, and there's lots of it. And while the game's technical aspects haven't been radically revised since the original, they've aged almost as gracefully as the comic books that inspired it.
Game Over - 87%
Finally, sometimes its best not to have any differences. Both Freedom Force games have the same kooky, over-the-top comic book charm to them, and almost all of the voice actors from the first game returned to reprise their roles in the sequel, and they all did another fantastic job.
Loadedinc - 87%
Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich contains a new story, some new characters and updated graphics. The multiplayer improvements are a nice touch and, ultimately, this is a product worth buying. Unfortunately, it did not blow me away the way the first game did. I had never experienced anything quite like Freedom Force prior to playing the first game. I was hoping to be wowed again. For now, I will just wait to see what the mod community can do to entice me to keep this game on my hard drive.
ic-games - 85%
If the extravagant game play appeals to you and you fancy something that bit different, or maybe you enjoyed the original game, then FFVTR will definitely give you many hours of fun. If you are a comic book fan add then this is the game for you, if you cant stand comics, knock 10% off, but for someone like me who lies between these two, I would say this is definitely a decent game but is more for the fans rather than the neutral super hero like myself.
Gamezone - 85%
Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich is a fun action RPG with a great story and unwavering authenticity to the comics on which it is inspired. Fans of the first game as well as anyone who enjoys comics or action RPGs will have a good time with this one.
videogameslife - 4 von 5
It's Freedom Force, basically, but with a bit of spit and polish. It wouldn't be unfair to say this could've retailed as an expansion pack, except for the fact virtually no-one bought the first game. So with that in mind, shell out the cash for this excellent game. Find out what you missed first time around.
FiringSquad - 84%
There are areas it could be improved - the fights could be bigger and more involved, and the game could be longer, and the powers have a little more oomph - but it's really just a series of minor nitpicks that tug away at the whole experience. Nothing to point a finger at specifically.
Fragland.net - 84%
This game has managed to surprise me in a very pleasant way. Although the game contains some minor bugs and the singleplayer campaign is quite short, it also brings you a few amazing hours of pure gameplay bliss. If you've grown tired of the classic fantasy RPG, then this game is undoubtedly an excellent choice, but also those other gamers out there shouldn't miss out on the opportunity to give this game a try!
Gamer´s Hell - 81%
This title is something everyone should try, whether it is for the zany story or the crazy comic book feel, players will definitely be content with the game and can positively look forward to another title in the series.
HookedGamers - 8 von 10
When I started playing Freedom Fighters vs. The 3rd Reich, I had high expectations. The original was so much fun that I was eager to play more. And that's exactly what we've been given. More of the action packed, fun filled gaming that I experienced two years ago.
The Adrenaline Vault - 3½ von 5
With its decent graphic enhancements, fun new characters, maps, and single player missions, Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich is a solid title, though I question the fact that it is being released and priced as a full-blown sequel. Its additions are fine and I enjoyed the game overall, but too many elements are the same as its predecessor, giving the program the feel of a very-polished expansion pack.
Computergames - 79%
Although it doesn't excel in any way and the additions brought by it hardly justify the characterization as a sequel, FFvt3R is a fun game, which manages to bring to the PC the look and feel of comic-book super-heroes, sporting some colorful characters and vivid graphics. And despite its shortcomings, it's a very good game to play between two levels of Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil.

Personal insights into a less-explored culture
Just yesterday my friend Harry Markov put up a post that I really love. Some friends of his (I think including me) finally convinced him to do some posts about the culture of his home country, Bulgaria. This is the first one, entitled "Saint Haralampi, Patron of Plague and Beekeepers." For all of you who may be looking for insight into a culture you haven't heard about before, this is great stuff. I highly recommend you go and check it out. I'm so happy that he's started doing this, and I look forward to his posts in the future.

Dean Israelite is set to direct the new version of the movie, which follows a young man who finds a back door into a military central computer that is confused with reality and game-playing, possibly starting World War III.
Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman and Ally Sheedy starred in the original 1983 film.

I've always made cornbread from a box, but after I tried cornbread in the slow cooker, the realization that how easy it is to whip up this side dish had me somewhat hooked! I went on the hunt for a homemade rendition.
This was basic, good cornbread. I ended up adding a bit more sugar to my version, and it yielded more than my favorite box mix, which is fine by me! More to eat!
Homemade Cornbread Mix
Serves: 6
recipe from Sweet Pea Chef
3/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients together. Store if needed.
When ready to use, mix in a separate bowl:
1 egg
3/4 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Add the wet ingredients to the cornmeal mix and stir until just incorporated. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cook for 20-25 minutes if using a 8x8 baking dish, or 15-20 minutes for muffins, removing the muffins or bread from the oven when the center is no longer jiggly and the edges are slightly browned.

Racking your brain to pick up a chic gift for your bride-to-be friend? You may want to look at something Oriental. For example, the little fan with an elegant Chinese knot means "kindness and lucky". Pi Xiu, a legendary lion-looking animal, is said to protect family and wealth. 'Red cloud' may sound a little weird, but it was taken as a good sign sent by God, according to the ancient Chinese.
Other themes for these Oriental wedding charms include a lion, a dragon and even a leaf, which means more businesses. These Chinese traditional custom-inspired charms not only pass your best wishes to your friend, but also give her a somewhat exotic wedding.

Indian guy
This was one of the waiters at Great India Cafe on Ventura blvd.(great food!) I was inspired by Marcelo Vignali and Steve Silver to get off my lazy ass and keep sharp by observing more. As an artist, and specifically a character artist, you've got to constantly be observing human appearance and behavior if you want to have the slightest chance of doing work with any kind of quality. Just photo reference isn't enough, you have to feel the presence of a person to get the whole thing , especially that most elusive quality, personality. God knows, I try, and not always succeed, but at least the attempt is worthy. Strive on!

Adjacent to the stage where the Exergy Tour officially introduced all 16 teams Wednesday, a mammoth VIP tent stood within the Grove Plaza. All of the long tables were flush with multinational women cyclists, every team sporting the same clothing, be it multi-colored jackets or "Biker Chic" sweaters.
Working the table of hors d'oeuvres were Grove Hotel employees Jon Burchard and Heidi Hughes, trying to push all manner of foods on the event's attendees. A large circle of linen-covered tables held an Exergy Tour ice sculpture dripping into a dish at its center.
"We were told to cater for 300," said Hughes. "We definitely had 300, but we didn't have 300 eating. We were told the athletes have special restrictions on food, and I can't blame them."
Neither Burchard nor Hughes knew anyting about Exergy before the day's event, but both said they might check out the Boise stages of the race today or on Monday, May 28.
"I have to come down here anyway," said Burchard.

Auguste Rodin
A group of 18 bronze, marble and terracotta sculptures by Auguste Rodin were lent to the V&A when the outbreak of the First World War prevented them from being returned to France; Rodin later donated the bronzes to the Museum.
Born in Paris on 12 November 1840, Francois-Auguste-Rene Rodin was educated at the Petit Ecole, a specialist school for Design and Mathematics. Rejected three times by the Grand Ecole he found work as a statuary mason. After briefly entering a religious order, Rodin attended a course given by Antoine-Louis Barye, a renowned sculptor of animals. Employed as a maker of decorative sculpture and architectural embellishments Rodin visited Belgium and later Italy where he was inspired by the work of Donatello and Michelangelo to produce The Age of Bronze, a strikingly realistic work which brought him critical attention. In 1880 he won a commission to create a portal for a planned museum of decorative arts, based on the South Kensington model, and spent much of the next four decades producing The Gates of Hell.
By 1900 Rodin's reputation led to the exhibition of his work at the International World Fair in Paris inspiring commissions from International patrons. In 1902 a cast of St John the Baptist was bought by public subscription and presented to the Victoria and Albert Museum. His work was exhibited at an exhibition of Contemporary French Art held at Grosvenor House in 1914. The outbreak of war meant it was impossible for Rodin to return his work to France and instead John Tweed, a British sculptor, negotiated with Eric MacLagan, Curator of Sculpture and Architecture, to loan the sculptures to the Victoria and Albert Museum for six months. This loan was motivated in part by a wish to honour French and English soldiers killed in the war. Rodin himself worked closely with MacLagan to approve the placing of the sculptures and ultimately agreed to donate the collection to the Museum. The donation reflected Rodin's ambition to be represented in a major international collection.
Rodin died on 17 November 1917. In his will he left his studio and the right to make casts from his work to the French Government.
