Aperture is now optimised for the new MacBook Pro Retina display. The new unified library lets you move seamlessly between iPhoto and Aperture. Powerful adjustment tools help refine your images. And with a faster way to browse on import, you can select your best shots almost as quickly as you shoot them.
Optimised for the new MacBook Pro Retina display
Your vision is even more extraordinary.
The new MacBook Pro with Retina display is a game-changer for photographers. At 5.1 million pixels, it's the perfect place to view and edit your high-resolution photos. Aperture takes advantage of every pixel so that more of your image can fit on the screen — which makes editing photos far more precise. And with four times the number of pixels than a standard 15-inch MacBook Pro display, you can see stunningly sharp details and textures when you're browsing, editing or comparing multiple images side by side.
Aperture and iPhoto Unified Library
All your photos. Now all in one place.
Now iPhoto and Aperture share a photo library.* Which means no matter which app you open, you can view and edit all your photos. When you adjust images using the tools in Aperture, you see the changes in iPhoto. And vice versa. There's no need to import, export or reprocess photos from one app to the other — it happens automatically. Faces, Places, Albums and Smart Albums work across both apps too. And slideshows created in one app can be played back in the other. This unified library makes it easy to step up from iPhoto to the advanced tools in Aperture. Or use Aperture to make professional edits, then go back to iPhoto to create a calendar or cards. So whether your photos are professional or just for fun, you get the best of both apps.
Advanced White Balance
True-to-life colour. In every kind of light.
This revolutionary white balance tool is a whole new way to correct colour casts even in challenging mixed-lighting situations. Because now you can use three powerful modes. Skin Tone mode works best for fixing colours in photos of people. Natural Gray mode can quickly adjust the colour balance in landscapes and other scenic shots. And Temperature & Tint mode is available for the most challenging light situations. When you choose auto-balance, Aperture applies advanced white balance using all three modes and picks the one that works best. You can switch between them. Or use one as a starting point and then tweak your photos further. You can even apply Skin Tone and Natural Gray adjustments to specific parts of a photo using brushes.
Improved Highlights and Shadows
Make every photo shine.
Even images that seem too dark or blown out can turn out stunning with Aperture. With improved highlights and shadows tools, Aperture recovers blown highlights and lifts shadow areas. Improved processing delivers higher-quality results across a wide range of photos. Since it combines several advanced tools into three simple, powerful sliders, Aperture gives you great results with fewer adjustments. The Highlights control now works with extended range data to recover blown highlights more easily on RAW images. So no matter how an image looks at first, these amazing tools will deliver results that make you do a double-take.
Professional Auto Enhance
Refine your shot. In one shot.
Even the most demanding photographers are impressed by Professional Auto Enhance. It uses powerful image analysis to determine the correct white balance, exposure, vibrancy, curves, highlights and shadows. And it intelligently applies these adjustments to your photos. So when you're refining images, Professional Auto Enhance is a great starting point. Then you can tweak images further until they're exactly the way you want. Or you can give photos a professional-quality zing — with just a click.
Fast Browsing
Find the shots you want. Faster than ever.
Now Aperture puts the previews embedded in most RAW files to even better use. So immediately on import, you can start browsing sharp, clear image files. Which means you can find your best shots even before image files finish copying from your memory card. If you're a professional photographer with a huge workload, this lets you cull your best shots from hundreds or even thousands of photos quicker than ever. And if photography is your hobby, you'll find your favourite photos faster.

October 14 2010 11:35AM
The first week in the NHL had everything the league could ask for; great goals, big saves, exciting hockey, big fights, but they also saw a few things they wish had never happened.
James Wisniewski was suspended for the third time in twelve months, and I can guarantee you he will go down as the only guy in NHL history to get suspended for his "Sean I hear you're a sword swallower," obscene gesture.
I can't see anyone trying to mimic his stupidity in the future.
While some of you probably laughed at his gesture, there is no place for it in the game; and society for that matter. I'm fine with his two game suspension, but once again the NHL looked ridiculous, when they gave him the same two-game suspension as Nicklas Hjalmarsson for his cheap hit on Jason Pominville.
You can't compare the two actions, because they are completely different. However, the NHL handed out the suspensions within hours of one another Tuesday afternoon, and the optics weren't good.
Wisniewski's actions were immature, inappropriate and made him look like a fool, but he didn't hurt anyone other than himself. Hjalmarsson made a dangerous, stupid play and he had ample time to recognize that Pominville was in a vulnerable position.
In the summer the NHL came up with a new rule to try and curb headshots, but it seems they are only concerned about direct shots to the head, not blows in the back or shoulder that result in a player slamming his head into the boards or glass. Watch the Hjalmarsson again and you'll see Pominville's head bounces directly off the glass as a result of the hit.
How is this not considered a head shot? Here's how the new rule was written:
48.1 Illegal Check to the Head – A lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principle point of contact is not permitted.
While Pominville's head wasn't the initial point of contact, his head took the brunt of the blow and subsequently concussed him. If it is a clean hit to the shoulder and a player's head hits the glass, to me, that is part of the game, but this hit was illegal and dirty.
It seems it is only a head shot in the eyes of the NHL if the initial contact is to the head.
Don't get me wrong, I like the head shot rule, but I can't understand how a version of this hit wasn't taken into account when writing up a new rule. We see more hits from behind or blind hits from the side, than we do direct shots to the head.
I'm okay with Wisniewski's two games, but the NHL should have used the timing of the suspensions to their advantage.
Slapping Hjalmarsson with a five gamer would have set a new precedent for an illegal "hit-to-the-body-that-impacts-the-head," and the NHL would have finally looked like they were serious in trying to get cheap shots out of the game. I love hard hits, and I understand players will get hurt sometimes, but the NHL has created a culture of "I was trying to make a play, so it's not my fault," and it needs to stop.
No suspension will automatically stop cheap plays. The speed of the game will always incite a wrong decision now and then, but clearly the players aren't getting the message. Pominville didn't even have the puck, and he was in that vulnerable position for a few seconds before Hjalmarsson delivered the blow. You can't tell me it was a wrong split-second decision by the Hawk defender.
Five games would have sent an early message to the rest of the league that cheap shots will cost a player a significant amount of games and money. It also would have shown that league officials consider cheap hits worse than some cheap, childish and immature obscene gesture.
The most egregious part of the suspension is that Hjalmarsson's first game back after sitting out two games will be against the very same Buffalo Sabres. A three-game suspension would have avoided any possible retribution being handed out by the Sabres, but I guess the NHL doesn't have a schedule in their office.
Not a great start for the NHL in handing out suspensions, or realizing that shots from the side or behind that don't initially target the head or just as dangerous as direct blows to the head.
~I'm surprised this feature got so much play last year,~ but due to the constant demands we will continue to showcase the best Ice Women the NHL has to offer.
Say hello to Candace who is in her fourth year with the BLUE CREW of the Atlanta Thrashers.
This lovely short-hair is in honour of my former Ice-Women selector, Laurie, a sexy short-hair herself, whose job has limited her time and won't allow her to be our main selector. Kudos to Laurie for your keen eye, and know that the Nations will miss your selections.
- It's pretty cool that the Nation has expanded to the centre of the universe and launched theleafsnation.com Wanye almost sheet himself when Internet giant, Greg Wyshynski - aka Puck Daddy - tweeted about the 4th child of the Nation clan. Welcome to the Nation Leaf fans, and Wanye wants you to know he is taking all the credit for your surprising 3-0 start. Just don't remind him that his beloved Oilers haven't made the playoffs since he launched Oilersnation.
- Alex Ovechkin has four goals in four games, and two of them have been game winners. He had seven last year. Clarke MacArthur, who the Thrashers walked away from after arbitration, also has four goals and two game winners for the Leafs. In his previous 208 games MacArthur had four GWG.
- There have been some great tilts early this year, and some clear KOs, but the Colton Orr/Deryk Engelland fight made me laugh. Not because Orr lost, but because of the AGH cam. I love how a hospital sponsors the zoom in shot.
- The more I hear Ray Ferraro, the more I'm convinced he is the best analyst in the game. I wish TSN would use him more.
- It is only two games, but is there a bigger surprise in the NHL than unknown, Sergei Bobrovsky? The Flyers' rookie netminder is 2-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .931 SV%. He has the best blueline in the NHL in front of him, so he might be able to keep it up. I wonder if he was chosen in any fantasy drafts? If you took him before the season started, take a bow.
- If the Leafs become a legitimate playoff contender, I wonder how many other GMs will be trying to sign NCAA free agents for cheap next summer?
- Eric Francis reported that Jay Feaster was brought in because Darryl and Brent Sutter don't communicate well enough to each other. You think? I'm sure Brent was doing cartwheels when Darryl told him that Olli Jokinen was going to be his first line centre in the summer, after trading him away in March. Something tells me that Feaster will be the GM before the season ends, with D. Sutter getting a promotion/demotion to President of hockey operations.
- If the Sedins stay healthy, look for Daniel to get 50 goals. They make plays that no other tandem in the league makes with the same regularity. Backstrom and Ovechkin are close, but they don't complete as many stunning passes.
- I loved the LA Kings retro jerseys. Their old logo is great, and I like the jerseys with no name bars on the back. I don't buy a lot of jerseys, in fact I only own three, the green Hartford Whalers, a teal Miami Dolphins and a Birmingham Bulls warm up jersey, but I'm leaning towards the Kings' retro look.
- Panther GM, Dale Tallon, was livid after his Panthers' lost 3-2 to the Oilers. "How do they allow Horcoff's goal? I've seen worse kicks in a Vegas Chorus line," he said when I ran into him going down the stairs to the dressing rooms after the game. I thought Tallon had a valid complaint. The Oilers got a break on Horcoff's eventual game winner.
- Patrick Kaleta is quickly becoming the newest punk in the NHL. He left his feet to hit a Devil, then used his head as a battering ram into the chest of Travis Zajak, and then gave him a love-tap headbutt. He is a joke, and hopefully someone teaches him a lesson sooner than later.
- If you are keeping track Carolina, Dallas, Colorado, Tampa and LA have wins that won't be as valuable as real wins in case of a tiebreaker.
- Only six teams have yet to lose a game this year. (I count OT and SO as real losses). Who do you think will still be undefeated by this time next week, out of the Leafs, Oilers, Predators, Stars, Blues and Lightning? Strangely enough, five of these teams missed the playoffs last year. I think it is great when a team can start 8-0 so hopefully a few of them are still perfect by next week.
- The NFL didn't have a single 4-0 team this year for the first time since 1970. My Miami Dolphins didn't even have time to chill the champagne before popping the cork when the last undefeated team fell.
I want to thank all of those for sending me your thoughts/tweets at @JasonGregor. I can't respond to all of them, but I do reply to most. Your questions and comments are great, so keep them coming.
My sobering tweet of the week comes courtesy of @nmizera:
"@JasonGregor It is ridiculous that the Panthers are selling tickets cheaper than the Oil Kings."
That isn't a knock on the Oil Kings, but how ridiculous it is in Florida that they are selling seats for a measly $9.
Tell me again Mr. Bettman how the NHL is working in South Florida?
October 14 2010, 02:53PM
Not sure if its been mentioned, but I believe Gregor touched on it in the article. Wisniewski has had three suspensions in the past twelve months, so perhaps his suspension was more severe than normal, given his recent history. Hjalmarsson, on the other hand, is a first-time offender and perhaps this is more of a warning than any real discipline. I'm not saying I agree with it, and had it been me instead of Colin Campbell it would have been 1 for Wisniewski and 5 for Hjalmarsson, but maybe that's the NHL's reasoning.
A friend told me this so I thought I would ask. Is it true that Kipper not only smokes cigarettes however smokes between periods?
***God I hope he doesn't because I have $5.00 on this bet***
I haven't heard that about Kipper but I have heard that about Khabby.
It should be a knock on the Oil Kings; ticket prices are the number one reason I don't go to their games.
Love these articles Jason, keep 'em coming! Even without the Icegirl(s) feature....honest.
Re: Horcoff's goal, right from the 2010-2011 NHL Rulebook - "If an attacking player has the puck deflect into the net, off his skate or body, in any manner, the goal shall be allowed."
Disallowed goal = "(ii) When the puck has been kicked using a distinct kicking motion."
Imho, even though thy Captain's foot moved forward, it's hard to argue it wasn't a deflection. To me, he was putting his foot in the path of the puck, it ultimately entered the net on the forward motion caused by Hall's pass. If the puck's forward propulsion was a direct result of Horc kicking it, then that would be deemed a disallowed goal.
In reference to Horcoff's goal: I seem to remember that you can only redirect the puck into the net, not change the entire direction of the puck.
The example from last year was the disallowed goal by a Sedin where he was flying to the front of the net and started stopping as he got really close to the goalie. The other sister passed her the puck hard from behind the net, it hit her skate and went in. There was no kicking motion, but the issue of thrust was brought up. Since the player completely changed the direction of the puck with her skate, the goal was disallowed. I can still remember the tears of every Canuck fan fondly (even though I had Mrs Daniel Sedin in my pool)
I would have thought the Horcoff goal was the same case, as the puck was not even going towards the net when it hit Horcoff's skate. Not that I am complaining though.
October 14 2010, 03:24PM
Ha ha ha, I didnt even read it like that until your post.
October 14 2010, 03:27PM
well played sir...
I think the NHL are scared to death to have to hand out a 5 or 6 games suspension to an Ovechkin, Pronger etc in the playoffs so they temper things during the season.
On Ferraro, agree. He demonstrates he probably has more hockey intelligence than any other analyst out there IMO, and he can really articulate his points.
October 14 2010, 03:44PM
As soon as our pool started I snatched up Big Bob. So far so good. Now if only this unknown "Crosby" kid would start putting some points up.
Gregor doesn't own an Oilers jersey?
October 14 2010, 03:55PM
Pominville didn't see the hit coming.
And it doesn't matter what the hit is covered under in my mind, what matters is how they enforce it.
Blindsided hits can be just as dangerous as direct shots to the head. That was my point.
The NHL said they were going to crack down on head shots and blindsided shots. Pominville didn't see the hit coming, so to me that is a blindsided hit. Yes it was boarding, but it was also a blindsided hit.
Those hits need to be cracked down on. It doesn't matter what area you want to put them in. Enforce the rules and hold players accountable for cheap and stupid actions is what the NHL needs to do.
I could be wrong but not seeing the hit coming doesn't really mean that the hit is suspendable, does it?
They were still going to allow hits to heads when guys are skating with their heads down.
Edit: Watched the hit again, you can see Pominville see the hit and turn his head back to looking away. Pominville just stood there. I'd also add that Hjarlmmsson coasted into him from about 20 feet away.
Pominville didn't see the hit coming.

~What would Mr.McLeod say if he knew you were posting on here during work Gregor?~
The hardest thing with Hjallmersson (sp?) suspension, is malicious intent. He pinched on the play, because the forward wasn't moving his feet, saw an opportunity to throw a hit (legal if Pominville turns to go up ice) and makes a bone-headed mistake and follows through while the guy is completely unaware.
But there is a difference to that scenario, and him wanting to paste Pominville because of something said/done. We'll never know why he made the hit, whether it was a bad hockey play, or an attempt to hurt him, but that should matter when the Colon Campbell levies out a suspension.
But that was after I took her in the sauna. Twice.
Thats like the Married With Children Episode (I'm trying to remember it all) it goes something like this: Al dreams he's a secret agent and this knockout goes says "Oh Al, don't you recognize me,I'm Yummy AllNight" and Al's like "I bet you're yummy all day too!" Oh wait, now I know who you are, I didn't recognize you dry!"
I can't wait to see that Predators game on Nov 13th.. I hear their Ice Girls are smoking hot..
October 14 2010, 06:26PM
Please, please, please tell me you are joking about Ray Ferraro. If you are not, I have serious concerns about, well, everything about you.
Pominville didn't see the hit coming.

Any hit can be as dangerous as a direct shot to the head though, we can't ban them all.
The NHL is cracking down on blindside hits to the head. If a guy is skating through the middle of the ice with the puck and is looking the other way and you hammer him shoulder to chest, that is a blindside hit but should be (and is) totally legal.
Even if he falls to the ice and hits his head and gets a concussion, that is (and should remain to be) a legal hit.
The Hit on Pominville is already covered in the rules under boarding (or checking from behind). It was not a blindside hit (for the purpose of the newly implemented rule) because it didn't intentionally target the head. What it was was either boarding or checking from behind which is a completely different rule.
When are people going to realize that this club is nothing but a mess?
2004 was not the start of something, it was an anomaly. The same as all the other teams that found chemistry and rode a hot goalie until almost the end.
Last season was not an anomaly. That was the trend. Since game 7 in 2006 the Flames have been just a little bit worse every subsequent year until they missed the playoffs last season. Bringing back the same team plus Tanguay is not the solution.
The real problem with this team is that even if all the stars and planets align just perfectly and everyone from Iginla to Jokinen to Tanguay to Bouwmeester hit career year ties or averages, then what?
They'd still run out of gas in the post-season. Even with the perfect match-up in the 1st round, it's highly unlikely they'd ever get past the 2nd round. And next season, with everyone yet another year older? Repeat? Uh-huh. Right. Sure.
And there's the rub. There's no plan, no formula to build a contender. Just scractch and claw and hope things go OK and your goalie drags you into the playoffs "where everyone is automatically a contender." This team is a one year roll of the dice at best, building towards nothing, having no future and no real chance of winning anything. And when the average bear of a fan finally realizes it, those imperssive season ticket numbers won't be so impressive any more.
2 out of 3 games with no goals.
Alas, I remember it well. Sitting in Flames Central at the Town Hall meeting with Darryl and Ken and a wise man asking why they chose to keep Jokinen over Cammalleri?
"I really like the idea of a 6'3" centre and I think the playoffs (2009)really showed the limitations of a small man in a big man's game," sayeth Darryl-the-wise.
One post-season and 13 goals later and this stuck in the 70's GM is still allowed to run this club into the ground.
A team once built from draft picks and blessed with skill and talent. Now, a complete dearth of picks and a fan base brainwashed into thinking our identity has to be a rough-and-tumble, gritty, western, down-and-dirty yee-hah! team.
Only stat worth looking at: once past the first in 21 years. Trying to stay competitive all the time does not work. Time to rebuild.

What readers and writers at Oilersnation think makes for great debate when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, but there's nothing like actually hearing from somebody in the know. That's why our 2011 series From The Horse's Mouth with Oilers chief Stu MacGregor drew such great response last June.
Some of you asked for a 2012 FTHM between now and when the Oilers are scheduled to pick first in Pittsburgh, so I'm going to re-visit the series with snippets about the five players I think the Oilers are most likely to use the first overall pick on. More important, we'll get MacGregor's take on each of them.
While the overwhelming consensus is the Oilers will follow up the selections of Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins by taking forward Nail Yakupov of the Sarnia Sting, and that's the safe bet, that makes for a short series, so I went five deep with MacGregor – starting today with Mikhail Grigorenko.
MacGregor, it's no surprise, didn't share the list compiled by he and his scouting staff leading into the draft, so I'll be running the items based on the order of my choosing. I've included information from the NHL's media site, including comments from the NHL's Central Scouting Service.
In his first season with the Quebec Remparts, Grigorenko led all Quebec Major Junior Hockey League rookies with 45 goals and 85 points (40-45--85) and finished third in the league with eight game-winning goals.
Grigorenko represented Russia at the 2012 World Junior Championships, recording five points (2-3--5) in six games, helping Russia capture a silver medal. As a member of Team Russia at the 2011 World Under-18 Championships, he led his team to a bronze medal, leading the tournament with 14 assists (4-14--18) in seven games.
In 2010-11, Grigorenko collected 35 points (17-18--35) in 43 games while playing for CSKA-2 where he competed against players as old as 22. He was selected second overall in the 2011 CHL Import Draft -- the Remparts traded up twice to secure him.
- NHL Central Scouting's David Gregory
"He's the type of player that controls the whole pace of the game. He can play with the puck at the same pace he plays without the puck. He sees the ice and opportunities really well.
"He can hang onto it longer than most players; some players might feel that they have to move it quickly, but Mikhail has the patience and the ability to see opportunities and let them develop, which is a special skill. He's got a big, long reach and an ability to move in traffic with his size (6-foot-3.25, 200). He's the kind of forward who will control the play and make things happen."
Scouting Report: "A big center who's a great skater. He has exceptional hockey skills and vision."
Projection: "Depending on what team he's on, he'll be a No. 1 or No. 2 center."
Weaknesses: "He needs to get physically bigger, to fill out. He needs to learn to play a 200-foot game and he needs to develop that consistent shift-to-shift game. He has to maintain a higher level of play shift-to-shift."
NHL Comparable: "I think he's like an Eric Staal."
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.
With all the trade Gagner talk, why not send him, another player and a pick for pittsburghs Staal? U still draft Yakpov, have genuine 2nd line centre to play behind RNH. Thoughts?

How to Remove Your Google Search History Before Google's New Privacy Policy Takes Effect [via BoingBoing]

Good stuff! This site always keeps surprising me with articles you don't see on other tech sites :)
Thanks for the headsup.
Just a suggestion, don't go browsing signed in.
Good to know the Remove of Google Search History Before the New Privacy Policy Takes Effect
Easier solution, use a different search engine? just a thought, I won't use google anymore for anything, and I never looked for anything illegal anyways, but I won't use it anymore because of the privacy invasion after March 1st. Ive since switched to bing and have no complaints, runs just as good if not better than, google. again, just my opinions, no need to get angry over it, it won't change.
also, to the person that suggested not browsing while signed in, they can still track you from your IP address if it's that important.
I have serious doubts that removing browsing history makes any difference at this point…
I agree with Tonino, at this point cleaning your tracks feels like trying to put the excess toothpaste back in the tube…
It seems tome that, if they want to get what you have had for breakfast, they can do it. Big Brother is already at work. Most of us are too small to bother with, though. I do not search for anything I should not but I may somehow get something I did not want and it would be recorded and used against me if I were in politics.
I've been receiving the daily email (update) for about a year now and look forward opening each day. The daily email(update) you guys send almost always has info that interests or helps me with computer stuff and tech that I would never know about. Very easy step by step instructions with photos that even an older noob like myself can follow most of the time. I find your info most helpful. Good stuff.
If your using windows 7 and google chrome as your browser, in chrome go into options then click "under the hood" and in "privacy" there are 2 tabs or settings on top. Content settings and clear browsing data, click the tab "content settings" that opens "Cookies". I have it set on "Block third party cookies" and "Clear cookies and other site data when I close my browser". There is also 2 tabs on the bottom in "Cookies" the 2nd tab is "Cookies and other data". This will show all the cookies and their websites and an option to delete some or all of the cookies.
I could not believe all of the cookies I had and who owned them. Some of the websites I visited said "access denied" when I went to visit them. Imagine they are tracking me but wont give me access to their website to check out who's tracking me. Kind of nervy?
Thanks again Boing Boing for the heads up.

What was the last game or games you just lost interest in playing ?
for myself i'd have to say Diablo 3 & Guild Wars 2 i login to either one look at my characters and i just don't have it in me to play as much as i did when i first got these games. most mmo's i can sink in almost endless hours atleast in the first 3 months then it just goes downhill.
league of legends
diablo 3
guild wars 2
planetside 2
world of warcraft
world of tanks
any game that is still in "open beta"
so hard to find a good game these days..
The last MMO was GW2. I was on the hypetrain with a friend whom got me to look forward to it. Played it for three days and just never found the will to log back in... At least D3 I find myself going back to because the core gameplay was fun.
D3 and GW2 as well.
One and a half week of playtime in total until I was bored to tears.
Secrets of Dragon?s Spine Trailer.. !
Best MMOs ever played: Ultima, EvE, SW Galaxies, Age of Conan, The Secret World
Recently it's been all of them except Lotro. Of course I'm looking forward to future releases like FF14:ARR, Neverwinter and Elder Scrolls, but otherwise, I've found myself going back to console games for awhile. Time to catch up on the Assassin's creed series, Saint's Row 3, devil may cry, lego games, Black Ops 2 and Sleeping Dogs. That should be enough to tide me over to the next big MMO release.
I think I'm partly burnt out on MMOs right now but I also think, these games like Rift, GW2, TSW and so forth really need to start adding new game systems and things that pull one into a game. Call it the addiction effect. It's what CCG games have, it's what fantasy football has, it's what older MMOs have. It's that certain something that can pull you in and get you lost in a game and doesn't let go until you are ready to take a break.
"Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas."
I dunno maybe i've just lost all interest in MMO's as a whole from a gaming aspect i've spent the past few months playing nothing but PS3 games after i picked up Borderlands 2 and got some DLC's for ME3 and other games.
last few games i bought Borderlands 2, Dragons Dogma, and most recently Mass Effect 1
i've also been wondering what games on PC are out that could hook me like Skyrim did i have 819hrs in that game.
maybe its something about freedom & open world style and lots of Mods ! MODS MODS MODS !!!! HAHAHAHA MODS !!!....anyways !.
it seems like when i login i look at my characters maybe play alittle but we are talking 5-10 mins before i lose interest again maybe its because i also think about starting a new character but all the damned work i sunk into my existing characters is such a pain that its just too much to redo.
Neverwinter & Elder Scrolls online look pretty good both great RPG series but not terribly sure how they will do classes if it will be make a character pick a race and class and your stuck with that or if you can switch races and classes whenever you want.
FF14 is the first. i bought it and : interface is a mess, i see more number and bars than character action, no jumping, fighting is a stand still facing head on with mobs and SUPER SLOW. i quit after 1 month. log in sometime when it free to play but i see no improvement. and now after i see FF14 ARR alpha questing and combat i decided let it go for good.
then come the Diablo 3. bought it in May and enjoy the story for 1 month. then farm for another month and....quit. the only thing left is HEAVYLY GRIND. sry, my life is short so i moved on and havent touch it since.
after saying good bye to DB3, i though i'm lucky when got GW2 in august. pvp was fun for first month, pve also fun for second month, the third month is......back to GRIND. what? and i though dev said in beta that they dont want to make player grind. then WHY are they adding ASCENDED GEARS/ACC.
well, so this chrismast i think i'll enjoy things with family and maybe playing some console game.
looking foward to the elder scroll online and Titan from blizz. but i dont think elder scroll online promise much because they have to scale it down to mmorpg, things will not be as good as skyrim.
i had the feeling that develope nowaday only want to trick you buying the game and then they moving on making....new game and trick you into buying it again.
Sadly GW2, D3, Aion.
I was realy pumped for GW2 but while i love the world of Tyria turns out it doesnt have staying power to keep me hooked on the gameplay.
Anywho I resubbed to WOW and am checking out MOP and lvling some new toons, its been fun and i actually love the new talent system, so many new combo's to play with.
This list is comprised of games I liked a one time or another, but just don't play anymore. With that caveat, the last games I lost interest in are:
LotRO: Used to play. Took a pass on RoR.
Skyrim: After 700 hours invested, it was either put this one away, or get sucked into the game like some old Twilght Zone episode.
The Secret World: Excellent skill system. SInce I'm altaholicit got repititious.
Hedonismbot: Your latest performance was as delectable as dipping my bottom over and over into a bath of the silkiest oils and creams.
Mabinogi. Ehh, it was fun for a while, but Nexon ruined that with their vast vast incompetence.
Perfect World T_T
it's sad but questing and new clothes and tokens and cool dragon mounts... Im starting to get bored. The only reason why i go online nowadays was to take a screenshot of my characters and chat w/ my friends. PvP is not that interesting anymore either.
Also, Smite... maybe i just really didn't like the game in the first place.
DAoC - Excalibur & Camlann
Star Wars the Old Republic and I really had zero issues with that game, I just lost all interest in playing it at about level 27-28.
Pretty wierd and it had never happend to me before.... to be so neutral about a game.
Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic and the 2 most recent games I've lost interest in. Very disappointing final products too for both games .. by all means both games should have been huge (beyond the hype).
There are many other games I've lost interest in, with perhaps Battlestar Galactica being the quickest game I ever picked up and put down, scoring a total playtime of about 10 minutes.
Some games I just lost interest in because of what it became over time, such as World of Warcraft. That used to be a really fun and challenging / social game to rival EverQuest, but now it is but a shell of it's former glory. EverQuest is actually looking more appealing to WoW (c'mon EverQuest Next!).
Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History"
Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
Ken Fisher - Semi retired old fart Network Administrator, now working in Network Security. I don't Forum PVP. If you feel I've attacked you, it was probably by accident. When I don't understand, I ask. Such is not intended as criticism.
GW2 and TOR recently. I tried with TOR for quite awhile and I had some good times with it but the replayability was just not what I hoped for. GW2 I didn't expect much and while I think it had some good ideas, I was done with it after about three weeks as I didn't feel any connection with the world and became just bored of the combat.
The quickest one ever? RF Online when that first released. I made it about 7 mins into the tutorial and realised I'd made a terrible mistake
This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!
In my search to find something while I am currently in a lull in EVE Online I have given the following games a fair try and they failed to keep me engaged.
Totally No Interest
Wizardry Online
Dungesons and Dragons Online
World of Warcraft
The Secret World
Still ok but atm I dont want to play
EVE Online
Fallen Earth
GW2 was the last MMO ive totally gone dry on. Tor went F2P i was back in a heartbeat...TSW went B2P was on yesterday...I doubt Ill ever go back to GW2. Im not saying its bad or it sucked or it was fail...just something was missing. I cant even figure out what it is. The parts of GW2 are usually things I like but put togeather as a whole..it just wasnt happening for me.
When I go home from work, im torn between WoT or TOR or TSW..but playing GW2 is never on my mind. It unnerves me that I cant place whats missing for me with that game. Ususally its so obvious...
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin

There is nothing run of the mill about Greg Brummett's hand-crafted jewelry.

Many stones are cut, shaped and polished by Greg personally. He also creates "steampunk" jewelry which blends Victorian styles with modern science fiction. Think steam engine versus combustion engine when viewing his designs. All pendants are created using the art of wire-wrapping. Wire-wrapping has been around since the time of the Phoenician Empire, about 1000 years B.C. Today, wire wrapping has become popular because of the uniqueness and the individuality of each piece - no two are ever exactly alike!

Skip to comments.Putin says Lenin should stay on Red Square
Posted on 12/11/2012 2:06:28 PM PST by No One Special
Putin has called for Communist leader Vladimir Lenin's body to be preserved in its mausoleum on Red Square, comparing the embalmed body of the founder of the Soviet state to the relics of saints.
"Many are saying that having Lenin's Mausoleum runs counter to the tradition. But what runs counter to tradition?" Putin told a meeting with celebrities who campaigned for him in the March 2012 presidential election, according to the Kremlin website. "Just go to Kiev Pechersk Lavra or check out Pskov Monastery or Mount Athos. You'll see the relics of saints there."
Putin cited almost word-for-word the present-day leader of Russia's Communist Party, Gennady Zyuganov, who last August said that "this form of burying [the body of] Lenin complies with Orthodox canons and traditions" and also drew the Kiev Pechersk Lavra example to back up his point.
Putin also called for "returning to our historic roots," lamenting a lack of a common ideology.
"What happened after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dominant ideology?" Putin asked his supporters. "We never got anything in its place."
Echoing the words of Zyuganov again, Putin remarked that the Communist Builder's Code, a list of Communist moral principles dated 1961, borrowed a great deal from the Bible and the Koran.
Putin's comments come as public support for removing Lenin's body from the mausoleum is growing, a recent survey by the Public Opinion Fund showed.
The number of those supporting the idea of burying Lenin's body has grown 10 percent over the past six years, reaching 56 percent. Only 28 percent of respondents said Lenin's body should be left in the mausoleum.
Speaking about the possibility of a Christian-style funeral in 2010 at a meeting of the Valdai club of political thinkers, Putin said that would come "in good time," Gazeta.ru reported.
"The time will come and the Russian people will decide what to do," Putin was quoted as saying.
In response to Putin's comments, a prominent member of the movement "For taking Lenin out" and the abbot of several churches in Moscow, Father Sergius, said that comparing Lenin's body with the relics of saints was "inadmissible."
"The relics of saints and the body of a Satanist, dictator and a bloody monster are two different things," Father Sergius told Interfax. "Putin probably wants to please both sides, but he should make a choice - to build Russia on national interests, or to court the Communists."
Dmitry Dyomushkin, leader of Russkiye, a nationalist movement for ethnic Russians, said nationalist and Orthodox activists were outraged at Putin's remarks.
"Putin will undoubtedly lose the support of many Orthodox and Cossack organizations," Interfax reported Dyomushkin as saying.
Lenin's Mausoleum on Red Square is one of five remaining mausoleums for political leaders in the world. Lenin expressed the wish to be buried near to his parents in Petrograd, but instead Stalin insisted that Lenin be preserved in the mausoleum on Red Square immediately after his death in 1924.
Other mummified leaders include North Korean leaders Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-Il, early 20th century Chinese nationalist leader Sun Yat-sen, Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong, and Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh.
Calls for the burial of Lenin's body grew in the late 1980s, during the period of glasnost and perestroika ahead of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the controversy has raged to the present day.
Last year Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky, a member of the ruling United Russia party, argued for burying Lenin, whom he described as "a highly controversial political figure." "Having him as a central figure in a necropolis at the heart of our country is sheer nonsense," Medinsky was quoted by United Russia's press service as saying.
Let the dogs urinate on him.
As a speed bump...
IIRC his will was to be buried modestly in some particular village. His wife wanted him buried as well. Stalin saw the use in a secular relic though, so there he lies. I've seen him twice. I think they replaced his hands at some point.
They probably replaced his hands with calloused ones because like modern lefty idealists, he probably never put in a day of hard physical labor in his life...
Sadly, it is now here with our current pos potus
Sort of like what they say is the devil's greatest trick: pretending he doesn't exist
To be added to or removed from this list, please FReepmail me...
What a laugh! Putin compares Lenin's dessicated mummy to the holy relics of Christian saints, and the leader of the Russian Communist Party agrees wholeheartedly!
Putin's religion is clearly not Christianity, but the religion of Leninism.
Once a Chekist, always a Chekist!
Putin's father was NKVD and his grandfather was Lenin's cook! Putin can no more disown Lenin and the EVIL EMPIRE than he can disown his father and his grandfather who loyally served Soviet Communism just like he did!
Christian patriots did not loyally serve the KGB like Putin, they are the ones who fought the KGB and were persecuted by stupid evil thugs like Putin!
Down with the satanic tyrant Putin!
Russia without Putin!
No, his greatest trick was getting so many to think God doesn't exist.
I see the head Russian community agitator, I mean organizer, is keeping the first modern day successful organizer above ground. Who would have thought........
Meanwhile the remains of Tsar Nicholas's two youngest children are sitting in a cardboard box somewhere while they decide whether or not to give them a state funeral and bury them with the rest of the family.
Recovering from chin injuries caused by abnormal knees reflexology.
Yeah, well, you know, they were the kids of the 1%. OK? ;-)
Putin needs the mausoleum to exist. He want his own mummy there one day.
People forget history -- look at the recent US elections
Actually the new ones (actually I last saw them close to a decade ago) look like pink wax doll hands.
Supposedly the mummy was damaged in some terrorist effort.
At least that's not creepy...
Well on one hand, Lenin did want to be buried in St. Petersburg near his family, keeping him in that mausoleum is a denial of his final wishes, OTOH, he was a communist not a christian so he is not entitled to christian burial. That being said, irregardless of what he was and what he did, final wishes largely trump identity in this case. he should be buried. As far as what he was and what he/they did, Russia certainly would not be where it is today, and likely still the backward agrarian sick old man of Europe if not for him, and he did establish the NEP before Stalin dismantled it, the roots for the eventual unraveling of the Soviet system. Frankly their history required him... Not saying it's right, nobody is more anti-communist than me, but it simply is what it is...
IMNSVHO, You are falling into a bit of an ideologically prepared faux-history. Russia was NOT just some brutal rustic serfdom prior to WWI. Russia was rich and was rapidly industrializing at a phenomenal pace. There was a very substantial middle class living in large and often beautiful cities fully the equal of anything else in Europe at the time, and a lot of them. However, its government infrastructure under the Czar proved incapable of managing or planning this on the vast scale required by the sheer size of Russia and its riches. Throw in the war against Japan and then WWI, into which the Czar foolishly and quite unnecessarily led his nation, and the fragile system collapsed of its own weight. The Bolsheviks were kicking a system that was already down because of war. It was not the rural population that joined them, it was the war-time industrial workers in the cities, crushed by government inefficiencies.
To this day, NO Russian government has matched the agricultural output reached under the Czars after the land reforms of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries created a wealthy class of independent farmers. Who the hell knows what would have happened without the Communists. It's just that we ought not to fall for the largely bullshit bolshevik version of Russian history.
The Czars were "Dunces Sitting on a Volcano," for sure. But it was the war(s) that set off the eruption of which the Communists took advantage. They saved nobody.

On July 31-Aug.5, Tiffany Larsen, daughter of Don and Suzanne Larsen of Ferron, attended Utah Business Week at Utah State University. The week was filled with business workshops taught by many successful business owners and also a competition to sell a product of their own. The students were all divided into companies and firms and participated in a business simulation where they had to produce and market a product. they had to control all of the money including what went into advertising, how much they would produce at what cost, and how dividends were to be paid. They also had to produce and record a radio ad and design a logo that was judged by art designers and business owners.
Tiffany and her firm of two other members made business decisions that won them the Best Overall Award for having the most successful business and also the Outstanding Team Competition Award, where they were the top competing team.
