"A poor little female"
Some years ago, wrote the monk Guibert to his friend Radulfus, strange and incredible rumors had reached his ears at the Belgian monastery of Gembloux. They concerned an old woman, abbess of the recent Benedictine foundation at Bin-gen-am-Rhein, who had gained such fame that multitudes flocked to her convent, from curiosity or devotion, to seek her prophecies and prayers. All who returned thence astonished their hearers, but none could give a plausible account of the woman, save only that her soul was "said to be illumined by an invisible splendor known to her alone." Finally Guibert, impatient with rumor and zealous for the truth, resolved to find out for himself. In the year 1175 he wrote to this famed seer, Hildegard, with mingled curiosity and awe. Surely she had received "rare gifts, till now practically unheard of throughout all ages"; in prophecy she excelled Miriam, Deborah, and Judith; but let her recall that great trees are uprooted sooner than reeds and keep herself humble. Meanwhile, perhaps she would deign to answer a few questions about her visions. Did she dictate them in Latin or in German? Was it true that, once she had spoken, she could no longer recall them? Had she learned the alphabet and the Scriptures as a child, or had she been taught by the Holy Spirit alone? As the abbess sent no reply, Guibert tried again some time later, having thought of more questions in the meantime. Did Hildegard receive her visions in ecstasy or in dreams? What did she mean by the title of her book, Scivias? Had she written any other books? And so forth.
In the end the seer favored Guibert with a reply—a detailed account of the mode of her visions—which so overwhelmed him that he declared that no woman since the Virgin Mary had received so great a gift from God. Hildegard, he continued, "has transcended female subjection by a lofty height and is equal to the eminence not of just any men but of the very highest."5 The white monks of Villers, with whom he shared her letter, saluted the abbess in even more exalted terms.
Hail, after Mary full of grace: the Lord is with you! Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the word of your mouth, which brings the secrets of the invisible world to men, unites heavenly things with earthly, and joins the divine to the human.
In contrast, Hildegard herself had composed her reply to Guibert with characteristic modesty, stressing her own frailty and insecurity. Like any monastic writer, she adopted formulas of humility that had long been de rigueur; but, like Guibert and the monks of Villers, she also realized that her gender had no small bearing on her vocation. When she identified herself as ego paupercula feminea forma—"a poor little figure of a woman"—she was appealing inversely to the same complex of ideas that led the Cistercians to compare her to the Virgin. Mary, the handmaid of God, "humble and exalted above every creature," typified for them a central paradox of Christianity: all who humble themselves will be exalted. But something other than Mary's personal humility and glory inspired the comparison. Lowliness, if not grace, could be generic; and, according to some of the most reputable theolo gians and scientists of the Middle Ages, it pertained generically to the bodies, minds, and mores of women. It followed that, if only the humble could be exalted, women had a paradoxical advantage—at least in theory. In practice, of course, this advantage was seldom apparent. To her admirers, therefore, Hildegard was a live epiphany of a truth that the social and even the religious establishment had done its best to suppress.
The dialectic cut both ways: a "poor little female" could be exalted to miraculous heights only on condition that her normal status remained inferior and subservient. Hildegard's activity as a prophet could seem divinely powerful only because it was humanly impossible. Thus, the very constraints that made her privilege so astonishing to her peers also gave it an added luster, which, in a more egalitarian Church, it could not have possessed. And Hildegard, no less than her contemporaries, accepted the paradox. Never did she suggest that, as a woman and a Christian, she had any "right" to teach or prophesy in the Church. Nor did she claim or demand equality with men. Rather, she insisted that God had chosen a poor, frail, untutored woman like herself to reveal his mysteries only because those to whom he had first entrusted them—the wise, learned, and masculine clergy—had failed to obey. She lived in a "womanish age" (muliebre tempus) in which men had become so lax, weak, and sensual—in a word, effeminate—that God had to confound them by making women virile. Choosing an instrument by nature frail and despicable, he proved again that he could work wonders despite all human order and disorder. "God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no flesh might boast in the presence of God" (1 Cor. 1:27–29).
It is this conviction that underlies Hildegard's prophetic call, announced at the beginning of the Scivias:
O frail human form from the dust of the earth, ashes from ashes: cry out and proclaim the beginning of undefiled salvation! Let those who see the inner meaning of Scripture, yet do not wish to proclaim or preach it, take instruction, for they are lukewarm and sluggish in observing the justice of God. Unlock for them the treasury of mysteries, which they, the timid ones, bury in a hidden field without fruit. Therefore pour out a fountain of abundance, overflow with mysterious learning, so that those who want you to be despicable on account of Eve's transgression may be overwhelmed by the flood of your profusion.
Such was Hildegard's mission: to unlock the mysteries of Scripture, to proclaim the way of salvation, to admonish priests and prelates, to instruct the people of God. And all this was entrusted by God to a woman, despite the transgression of Eve, because "the wise and the strong" had fallen even lower than women.
At the close of this introductory chapter, I shall return to the question of female authority and the strategies that a twelfth-century visionary could use to reinforce it. First, however, an account of Hildegard's career and of her prolific writings will serve to reveal the degree and types of authority that she actually claimed.
Our information about Hildegard's life is unusually thorough, for we possess several hundred letters written to or by the saint. Many of these contain biographical data. Hildegard's Vita, composed between 1177 and 1181 by the monks Gottfried of St. Disibod and Dieter of Echternach, incorporates memoirs dictated by the saint in the first person. A fragmentary Vita by Guibert of Gembloux provides further details. Other sources include chronicles, documents pertaining to the two monasteries founded by Hildegard, and the Acta compiled in 1233–1237 for her canonization. These last deal chiefly with miracles of healing and exorcism ascribed to Hildegard, so their main historical value lies in the evidence they furnish about her cult.
Born in 1098 at Bermersheim bei Alzey, Hildegard was the tenth child of noble parents, who dedicated her to God as a tithe. Three of her siblings also devoted their lives to the Church: one brother was a cantor at the Mainz Cathedral, another became a canon in Tholey, and a sister took the veil at Hildegard's convent. In 1106 the eight-year-old girl entered a hermitage near the flourishing monastery of St. Disibod to be raised by the highborn anchoress Jutta of Sponheim. From Jutta she "learned the Psalter," in other words, she was taught to read Latin. Her further education was entrusted to the monk Volmar of St. Disibod, who would become her lifelong friend, confidant, and secretary. During her teens (c. 1112–1115) Hildegard made her profession of virginity and received the veil from Otto, bishop of Bamberg. In the meantime, the hermitage had grown into a full-fledged monastery observing the Benedictine Rule, and, when the mistress Jutta died in 1136, the nuns elected Hildegard as her successor. Five years later the abbess received her prophetic call and began to compose the Scivias, with the help and encouragement of Volmar and her favorite nun, Richardis von Stade. A thirteenth-century miniature shows the seer in action: illumined by fire from on high, she transcribes the heavenly dictation on wax tablets, while Volmar copies the corrected text into a book, and a nun stands by to assist her mistress (frontispiece).
From early childhood, long before she undertook her public mission or even her monastic vows, Hildegard's spiritual awareness was founded in what she called the umbra viventis lucis, the reflection of the living Light. Her letter to Guibert of Gembloux, written at the age of seventy-seven (1175), describes her experience of this light with admirable precision.
From my early childhood, before my bones, nerves, and veins were fully strengthened, I have always seen this vision in my soul, even to the present time, when I am more than seventy years old. In this vision my soul, as God would have it, rises up high into the vault of heaven and into the changing sky and spreads itself out among different peoples, although they are far away from me in distant lands and places. And because I see them this way in my soul, I observe them in accord with the shifting of clouds and other created things. I do not hear them with my outward ears, nor do I perceive them by the thoughts of my own heart or by any combination of my five senses, but in my soul alone, while my outward eyes are open. So I have never fallen prey to ecstasy in the visions, but I see them wide awake, day and night. And I am constantly fettered by sickness, and often in the grip of pain so intense that it threatens to kill me; but God has sustained me until now.
The light that I see thus is not spatial, but it is far, far brighter than a cloud that carries the sun. I can measure neither height, nor length, nor breadth in it; and I call it "reflection of the living Light." And as the sun, the moon, and the stars appear in water, so writings, sermons, virtues, and certain human actions take form for me and gleam within it.
Now whatever I have seen or learned in this vision remains in my memory for a long time, so that, when I have seen and heard it, I remember; and I see, hear, and know all at once, and as if in an instant I learn what I know. But what I do not see, I do not know, for I am not educated, but I have simply been taught how to read. And what I write is what I see and hear in the vision. I compose no other words than those I hear, and I set them forth in unpolished Latin just as I hear them in the vision, for I am not taught in this vision to write as philosophers do. And the words in this vision are not like words uttered by the mouth of man, but like a shimmering flame, or a cloud floating in a clear sky.
Moreover, I can no more recognize the form of this light than I can gaze directly on the sphere of the sun. Sometimes—but not often—I see within this light another light, which I call "the living Light." And I cannot describe when and how I see it, but while I see it all sorrow and anguish leave me, so that then I feel like a simple girl instead of an old woman.
But because of the constant sickness that I suffer, I sometimes get tired of writing the words and visions that are there revealed to me. Yet when my soul tastes and sees them, I am so transformed that, as I say, I forget all pain and trouble. And when I see and hear things in this vision, my soul drinks them in as from a fountain, which yet remains full and unexhausted. At no time is my soul deprived of that light which I call the reflection of the living Light, and I see it as if I were gazing at a starless sky in a shining cloud. In it I see the things of which I frequently speak, and I answer my correspondents from the radiance of this living Light.
A revealing passage in the saint's Vita suggests that, although Hildegard perceived this extraordinary light from her infancy, decades were to pass before she understood the light and the figures she saw in it as a gift from God. At the age of three, Hildegard told her biographer, she shuddered at the vision of a dazzling light that she was still too young to describe. When she was five she startled her nurse by looking at a pregnant cow and accurately predicting the color of the unborn calf. Often she foretold the future. In her teens, however, the naive and fragile girl finally realized that no one else could see what she saw. Embarrassed, she ceased to recount her strange experiences, although the visions continued. The girl confided only in her mistress, Jutta, who reported the visions to Volmar.
With the exception of this discerning monk, those around Hildegard do not seem to have understood her predilection for visions as a charism. It is impossible to say whether the child's peculiarity inspired or merely confirmed her parents in their pious wish to present her as an oblate, for they might have feared that her frailty and eccentricity would disqualify her for a normal married life. Monasticism in this period frequently served as a refuge for weak and handicapped children of the nobility. Even after Jutta's death, when Hildegard became abbess of her convent, she did not at once take advantage of her authority to disclose her visions. It is significant that, after she had responded to the call of 1141 and begun to write, she never described any of the visions she had seen prior to that year. Only in retrospect, it appears, did Hildegard recognize these early experiences as a stage of preparation for her calling.
Despite her assurance of divine revelation, the seer sought further confirmation from the Church. In 1147 she wrote to St. Bernard, whom she greatly admired, to request his prayers and counsel. In this letter, the first of more than three hundred ascribed to her, Hildegard called herself "wretched and more than wretched in the name of woman," and bewailed her sickness, insecurity, and fear; but she went on to describe her visions as "great marvels" revealed by the Spirit of God. The abbot of Clairvaux endorsed Hildegard's gift, though with some reserve. Meanwhile, Volmar had told Kuno, abbot of St. Disibod, of his protégée's visions, and Kuno in turn informed Heinrich, archbishop of Mainz. When Pope Eugenius III, a Cistercian and disciple of Bernard, presided over a synod at Trier in 1147–48, Heinrich broached the matter of Hildegard's visions. Intrigued by his report, the pope sent two legates to the nearby St. Disibod to visit the seer and secure a copy of her writings. They returned with the still incomplete Scivias, from which Eugenius himself read publicly before the assembled prelates. The council was suitably impressed, especially as Bernard chose this moment to intercede for the visionary who had besought his aid. At his suggestion, Eugenius sent Hildegard a letter of greeting, giving her apostolic license to continue writing. From this point on, her fame and her circle of correspondents grew steadily until her death.
Once Hildegard had become a celebrity, her convent at St. Disibod began to attract so many postulants that the monastery could not house them. For this reason she decided to move, founding a new community at the Rupertsberg opposite Bingen—a site revealed to her in a vision. The monks of St. Disibod, reluctant to lose their new source of prestige and revenue, opposed this plan. However, Hildegard used her family connections to secure the support of Heinrich of Mainz. At the same time, she fought the monks with passive resistance, taking to her bed with a paralyzing sickness that she ascribed to her delay in fulfilling God's will. This visitation finally won the skeptical Kuno's assent, upon which the seer immediately rose from her sickbed. The property was acquired, the convent built, and in 1150 Hildegard and eighteen of her nuns moved to the new foundation. She now began to struggle for independence from the monks, finally securing exclusive rights to the Rupertsberg property from Kuno and his successor in 1155. Three years later Heinrich's successor, Arnold of Mainz, granted the convent his protection and regulated the temporal and spiritual relations between St. Disibod and the Rupertsberg nuns. Throughout these negotiations, the seer's health continued to fluctuate in accord with the success or setbacks met by her plans. By 1165 the Rupertsberg had become so prosperous that Hildegard was able to found a daughter house at nearby Eibingen. This convent, now the Abbey of St. Hildegard, is still in existence, although the original Rupertsberg was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.

As I mentioned earlier this week, Dave Arneson was terminally ill with cancer. He apparently had entered hospice, and his death had been falsely reported a few different times this week. Now, with confirmation from people I trust, we know that Dave died last night.
Dave was one of the two people credited with designing Dungeons & Dragons, the game that changed my life in many ways and gave millions of people countless hours of fun with their families and friends. The other, Gary Gygax, died just over a year ago.
Dave and Gary had a notorious falling out decades ago, which wound up with Dave suing to retain credit and obtain royalties on the game. While they managed to settle it out of court, they never, that I knew, repaired their friendship, which kept Dave out of mainstream gaming industry circles for years.
After Wizards of the Coast bought TSR, which published D&D, though, Dave made a well-heralded return to Gen Con. I had the honor of meeting Dave after that and the chance to express my gratitude to him. Best of all, I sat on a number of different panels with him in the following years, and he was always an absolute delight to spend any amount of time with.
One of the first things I did after Gary died was to write Dave a note too. Lots of times, we don't express our appreciation of people until they're gone, and I wanted to make sure Dave knew how I felt. A lot of other people did the same thing then and at Gen Con last year, which now turns out was Dave's last.
One of my favorite memories of Dave was at the opening of one of the Gen Cons in Indianapolis. Standing next to a giant twenty-sided die—it had to be at least three feet across—Peter Adkison stood in front of throng of people massed outside the doors of the exhibit hall just before it opened for the first time that year. He then brought Dave and his granddaughter forward to make the opening die roll for the convention, the first time I ever remember anyone doing something like that. The grins on all three of their faces lit the gigantic hall, and the crowd let out a huge cheer when the giant die rolled.
I couldn't think of a better way to start the show—or for me now to remember such a wonderful man.

Only 25 percent of women are consistently orgasmic during vaginal intercourse. Yes, you read that correctly. Only a quarter of the female population can have orgasms on the regular—no matter what the size of your manhood or how much she is attracted to you. Here's another stat: Roughly 75 percent of all women are unable to reach an orgasm strictly via intercourse. They need some extra play in the form of toys, hands or your tongue. So how do you go about pleasing a woman to actually climax? We thought the most enlightened advice might come from women who've slept with other women, so we interviewed 10 queer women—from homosexual to bisexual to pansexual. Here's what they had to say.
If you're not super experienced, you may be nervous, but just remember: she's naked in a room with you, so you won, dude. Be patient; some women take a minute to come. Okay, some can take like, a lot of minutes. Women can get into their own heads too much to come as quickly as men do. But given that I once committed to a 45-minute blowjob after one too many old fashioneds, you can pony up too.
Second, please stop doing the alphabet when you go down on a woman. I'm begging you: stop. I don't know one woman who likes it. It's messy, it's confusing and sometimes, guys can't help but hum along. This is a surprisingly popular tactic and usually results in a fauxgasm. One thing I can tell you for certain is that if she tells you, "Oh yes, that feels good," keep doing that. Men that fancy themselves good in the sack almost always change course the moment I say "that feels nice". No. Stop. Go back. Why in the world would you stop doing the thing she said feels good?
Don't just pay attention to the sounds she makes. Women are taught to perform enjoyment for their partners and it's not always an accurate tell. Pay attention to her body; does she move towards certain stimulation and away from others? Also, don't forget that the clitoris extends into the labia. Playing with a woman's labia is incredibly sexy for some, and indirect stimulation can often be better than focused attention. I like to lightly trace my tongue along her labia and even do the occasional delicate nibble.
Almost every woman I've ever slept with feels some level of body dysmorphia, and many women are incredibly self-conscious about how their pussy smells and tastes specifically. Telling her and showing her that you enjoy having your face buried in her pussy will help her feel more relaxed. The more you silently show her how much you love every inch of her, the more she'll be able to silence the stories she's heard about what makes the "perfect woman" and she'll have more enjoyable sex.
Slow it down and appreciate each moment. See how she reacts as you touch her and as she touches you. Kiss her neck more and spend time with each breast—not just one. The more foreplay, the better. Take out the trash without asking (that's hot). Make yourself worthy; each dick is dispensable, after all. It's the man attached to it that counts.
It's frequently assumed that the clitoris is the only money spot. That's not the case for many women. For example, I've had the pleasure of a woman who could achieve orgasm through nipple and breast stimulation. Another really liked having her inner labia stimulated along with the entrance to her vaginal opening. Ask your woman what she likes! If it's difficult to articulate, try mutual masturbation. One can learn a lot about what pleases a partner, or their preferred method of reaching orgasm, through watching.
If you're committed to understanding your partner's needs better, start tracking her monthly cycle. Seriously! You'll be able to know when she's more likely to be emotionally sensitive versus when she will be hungry for you. On top of all that, keeping track of her monthly courses is a great way to get to know what is pleasurable for her at different times of the month. Our bodies change tone, texture and blood supply throughout the month. Something that feels great on week two might be annoying by the end of week three. Find an app that tracks a woman's cycle; add notes about her mood, appetite, etc. as the month goes on. When you have sex, make notes about what she responded well too and what she didn't. After a few months, you will probably start to see patterns emerge. Then you can be prepared to handle her emotional turns—and her changes in desire.
Give your mate something to look forward to throughout the day to build up anticipation. Send her an erotic poem or a song recommendation—not a dick pic. The time you take on her will increase the overall experience for you both.
Your woman is not like any of the women you've had before and may not respond as others have. It's okay to ask what she likes, if she likes what you're doing or if she's willing to try something different. Erogenous zones vary, so don't make assumptions. Some women like lots of nipple play whereas others can only take a few minutes before feeling sore. Be creative and act lovingly toward her and her body. Find beauty in her features, her voice and her personality. Compliment her. Women like to feel an emotional or energetic connection when they make love, but we need to feel safe and comfortable first for that to happen. Finally, don't over-drink beforehand; it will depress her sensations.
Don't be afraid to open your heart—or your butt.
I utilize the clitoris for everything because it's the "Now you can enter me" button. You need to lock her in a gaze, set up the perfect kiss and then stimulate the clitoris, slowly. If you do it just right, her body will start to move. Now is the time to listen. Watch her hips, observe her breathing pattern and speed up and slow down accordingly. Only "enter her" when that body is moving towards you with a primal undulation. (You will know because you won't need to do much; her body will actually start to take over.)
And if you think you're already a good lover, it's time to learn something about tantric sex. Start by breathing together and listening to each others' bodies both energetically and physically. The more you can embrace her breath and stimulate her clitoris and nipples while increasing your pace, pressure and concentration, the harder she will come. A woman is not mysterious, but she is sacred and touch is connected to intention.
I can't emphasize enough how important your hands are. Pretend you don't have a penis for a little while and take it from there. Use light touch along the underside of her arms, back of her legs or between the shoulders blades, which are all incredibly sensitive regions. If you make use of knowing her largest organ—that is, her skin—she will be a vibrating mass of stimulated nerves.
When it comes to cunnilingus, don't be afraid to ask her to freshen up for oral sex if you're concerned. For technique, vary your tongue strokes. Make your tongue totally flat and do a long sweep of her labia. Go slowly, then go fast, then lightly blow air along her lips. Let her lead sometimes by laying your tongue flat and keeping still. Let her move on your mouth.
Remember, the physical and psychological realities for men and women are linked. Your penis is an appendage. You are entering her, or wanting to. Many women love penetration as a clitoral orgasm is building. She has to take you into her body, a very vulnerable proposition. You can hurt her if you aren't present. Be present.

Nate Walker to appear at The Saloon and bar bleu
Dante's Nightlife is thrilled to welcome back from New York City singer/songwriter Nate Walker for a three night stay at The Saloon (12/4 & 12/5) and bar bleu (12/6). All three shows take stage at 9pm.
Nate Walker's music has been described as "well-crafted earthy indie-rock with pop sensibilities." With smart hooks, driving beats, and honest vocals, his songs have been compared to those of Elvis Costello, Weezer, Foster the People, and Butch Walker.
Nate cut his teeth in the State College music scene, where he fronted the band Bluesuedegroove, who toured extensively and independently released three albums. After the group disbanded, a move to New York by way of Philadelphia found Nate pursuing a solo career. Within a few years, he had played countless city venues, released an EP of his own material, opened for Ben Folds, played as a backing musician for several different NY artists, and tour managed two national acts. Nate has had the humbling fortune to work with legendary producers Phil Ramone and Jack Douglas, songwriter Claude Kelly, and R&B artist Jay Sean. He has also composed background instrumental tracks that have been featured on MTV and Netflix.
Four years ago, Nate stepped away from city life to explore another passion and launched an organic farm in Pennsylvania. Music kept calling, though, and last year he returned to New York to reclaim his songwriting roots. Nate is currently in pre-production for an EP of new material, which he plans to release by February 2015. With shows already filling his tour schedule, look for Nate Walker to be coming to your area soon!

New Ontario Science Centre study reveals balance for kids is key for parents
Latest exhibition, SPORT, and new Weston Family Innovation Centre exhibits, in line with values of Canadian parents
TORONTO, June 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Despite recent concerns that Canadian children are over-programmed, a new national study commissioned by the Ontario Science Centre found 70 per cent of parents with children ages six to 12 years old said kids should have a balance between organized programs and unstructured time in the summer. To further emphasize the importance placed on balance, the survey found that almost no parents (five per cent) said that children should be in structured programs for most days in the summer.
"The study shows that parents are placing significant importance on free-choice learning, especially in the summer months," said Lesley Lewis, CEO of the Ontario Science Centre. "Kids can learn an amazing amount through exploration and problem solving on their own or with their friends. This is exactly the kind of experiences that we offer people of all ages."
When asked what would offer children the most benefit during the summer, the top three choices by parents were sports (63 per cent), unstructured playtime or learning (59 per cent) and cultural attractions, including museums and science centres (57 per cent). Surprisingly, sleep-away camp the - iconic summer staple - ranked lowest with only 25 per cent of parents considering it beneficial. On top of this, over half of parents said that their children have a significant input on what they do for the summer with only five per cent saying they do not consider their child's input at all.
Summer at the Science Centre
Just in time for the summer months and in line with what the survey showed parents want for their kids, the Science Centre is launching a new exhibition, SPORT, on June 25th.. At SPORT, visitors can try their hand at pitching the regulation 60 feet 6 inches from pitcher's mound to home plate, race a cheetah in the 10-metre dash or test landing skills to see if they meet gymnasts' standards. The Weston Family Innovation Centre has many new experiences and exhibits including Tell Tale Heart, an exhibit that uses visitors' heartbeats to animate a light sculpture, and So You Think you Can Fly, which allows visitors to explore the principles of flight.
"We were pleased to see that the research supports what we offer to our visitors," concludes Lewis. "Our summer exhibitions reinforce the values of today's parents - SPORT demonstrates the importance of healthy, active living and the Weston Family Innovation Centre, allows children and teens to learn and explore at their own pace."

My Fox has released a video they were able to obtain of the beating of Chicago's Fender High School student Derrion Albert. Albert attempted to help a fellow student when rival gangs broke out into a fight Thursday afternoon whenhe took a fatal hit in the head with a board and beating.
Workers from a near by community center came to rescue the victim but they were already too late. So far three assailants have been arrested with connection to Derrion's murder. They've all been charged with first-degree murder.
This is sad all around. So many people walking in the vicinity of the fight and didn't stop the fight.

So Plus TV is just FREEview and the FREE catchup services? Unless you want to PAY for stuff that is.
I should just have bought a Samsung Smart tv, as it has no contract and all 4 catchup services. Plus it can actally record the Drama channel!!!
TalkTalk Plus TV service is going down hill rapidly. Notice how long it takes after the YouView software is released to Humax boxes for TalkTalk boxes to be updated?????
Remember the LoveFilm offer that was also removed without notice!!!!!! Trading Standards need to give TakTalk a kick for changing a service during a contract with no notice. Yes I know the contract says they can change BUT it doesn't mean the contract is Fair and Reasonable. Would you still be tied into a PlusTV contract if TalkTalk blocked Freeview? So where is the line drawn?
Prices increasing and package content reducing and service getting worse as the days go by........
I for one will be ending my contract asap and going to BT after 7 years with TalkTalk/Tiscali!

Very disappointing.
I must have been one of the handful who did get advance notice.
Late last night 29 Aug I got an email to say it was going. Complained on twitter to the various offical Talk Talk accounts and it was obvious that it had even took the staff by surprise as they had not a notion it was happening and some actually said that it was still on their youview box so thus 'the problem was at my end'. I then checked at 8.30 this morning and it had gone for good.
My toddler daughter loved all the Kids shows on Scamp and now to find we need to pay another £5 for the kids boost to see Scamp with literally no warning at all is below the belt imo.
Would love to know the reason behind this, as I say it happened so quickly and appeared to even take staff by surprise.
They mention '...changes in market conditions...' as the reason. I reckon they have lost loads of customer to the BT youview package especially now as BT offer the footy free of charge so maybe providing TV Gift was not viable any more.
BT expands their Youview service while Talk Talk cuts back on theirs. With that attitude they will lose many more customers.
In the last 2 months BT has only signed up 23,000 customers to there TV service in the 6 years since BT started there TV service they have now 833,000 customers on there TV package. Talk Talk added 160,000 customers in the same period, Sky added 34,000 customers in the same period. as well on the 29th Aug TalkTalk delivered it's 500,000 box so in the 11 months since Talk Talk TV started they have signed up half a million customers. So as for TT losing customers to BT its not been happening doing on the figures it looks like BT are the ones losing the customers. With BT Youview you cant get BT Sport or there live boost channels unless you have BT Infinity which about 60% of the UK don't have access to yet.
Personally losing the TV Gift is no big big deal to me as it something that I have never really used as most of the stuff on it I have already seen but I will be putting a complant in about it.
The TV Gift was the only programmes I ever really watched as I find not being able to series record on the boosts a real pain. I have spent most of the morning trying to get through to Talk Talk to discuss it but am permanently on hold. I phoned the sales line in desperation who didn't even know what TV Gift was let alone that it had gone and kept insisting it was a problem with my account.
I had been with AOL for 12 years before moving to Talk Talk (who I believe are linked) and have had nothing but problems - constant buffering, power line adaptors needing replacing, long times between engineers visits (plus waiting in for them) whilst paying for a service which does not work. I've even had the fibre optic line put in to help which appears to have changed nothing.
On top of all this, a few weeks back I looked at my bank statement and had been charged over £200 for my box (?). When I telephoned them I was told this was because I had cancelled the service (I hadn't - I'd actually been offered 3 free months Entertainment) so I had been charged for the box!!
This removal of TV Gift is the final straw in what has been an incredibly unsatisafactory experience....
Took me ages trawling through all the online help pages but eventually I found a phone number for technical support - 0870 444 1820. The first operator I spoke to didn't understand ,TV giftthinking I meant the TV Guide and she had me crawling round the back of my tv set to get the serial number off my box -( tiny little letters & numbers) obviously indicating she thought I had a problem with the box - eventually I was cut off!! The second operator was a bit more clued up and knew tha tthe tv gift had been removed and kept insisting that all customedrs had been informed!! After some he realised that I wasn'thappy and put me on hold to refer to his manager who then came on the line and repeated all the operator had said but added the sweetner of 3 months free Entertainment boost - will keep an eye on my talk talk account to make sure they don't charge me for anything extra or £200.00 for the box!!!!!!! Still disappointed though asTV Gift was the main option I used :-(
Lucky you ! I was only offered 1 month free Entertainment package when I ranf....I am now awaiting a call escalating my complaint to level 3 !!! This is appalling and probably a breach of contract and we, the customer should make a stand on this !!!!!
Talktalk TV doesnt seem tooooo popular right now does it?
We are not able to record "Drama" with no end date in sight. Now they have removed the Gift TV that helped to attract me to join in the first place. What will be next to go I wonder "due to the changing market"?`
I'm still waiting to be signed up for the promised TV boost, I don't want to do it myself as I want to be sure to get the promised discount applied too. I guess another phone call will be needed. Sigh.
I'm still waiting for the promised Entertainment Boost too!! I was told it would take 24 hours but when I tried to watch a box set on ABC last night it wanted me to pay for it!! Are we just being fobbed off?!!
I have just spent 30 minutes complaining about this - I have got ABC reinstated for 3 months from tomorrow. I have threatened legal action - sure their terms and conditions say to change - but is total removal of a service classed as "change" - don't think so.
It was the only reason I got this and have not been happy with it on performance. - will be departing this compnay asap.
hey guys,
Recently ordered talktalk tv over buying the box outright because it works out the same as buying a youview box outright (£190-argos) but comes with free extra content as mentioned by the sales advsior and website.
Installed thursday and free extra content disapeared Friday.
Complained to TalkTalk and they are given me 3months Enteraintment Extra Boost free. :-) So im now happy. (although I do have to purchase it as normally and it will be taken off my bill - figners crossed this will actually happen).
I am about mythed though - I can't see why anyone, in there right mind, would keep the TV package after the min 18months? (if you dont use the premium content).
Slowly but surely now beginning to hit news sites.
Definately worth the phone call - I too have a deal I'm happy with.
I was furious that Talk Talk had 'stolen' the TV gift from my package....I was in the middle of watching a series! I called up to complain. First advisor wasn't even aware it had been stopped and thought it was a technical issue, second advisor told me that there was no point in complaining as it had been removed and there was nothing she could do. I insisted on registering a complaint. Third advisor gave me 3 months free Entertainment Boost as compensation and was told that TV Gift may be put back on in that time......anyone else been told this? Is that true? Excuse my pessimism but I have had nothing but bother with Talk Talk TV. To be fair, all the issues eventually get resolved, but when I say eventually, this is after numerous calls which all last well over 30 mins and I have been passed around what feels like the entire customer service department.

Congratulations Marcus!
Marcus Pimpleton is the music director of the Denny International Middle School, and the band director for Chief Stealth International High School, Seattle's All-City Band, and Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra's Jazz Scholars.
On Friday evening, at the Intiman Theatre ceremony, he became a recipient of the KCTS 9 Golden Apple Award for Educational Excellence, which have honored successful teaching models and programs among Washington state educators since 1992.
"In multiple positions—with middle school, high school and university students and the All-City Band—he builds bridges and creates innovative opportunities for his students to learn about life, leadership, volunteering and community through music and performance. In the classroom, Pimpleton saw many middle school students put down their instruments as they made the transition to high school. Aware of the link between music study and academic achievement, he pushed for a chance to teach both the middle- and high-school bands. In two years, the high-school band has doubled in size. He has also run music camps during school breaks and has seen retention rates increase. "The most powerful learning that takes place in my classes is not musical," he says, "but the personal development that comes from students taking ownership." KCTS 9
Marcus selects, directs and mentors the student musicians for Jazz Scholars, SRJO's school-partnered pilot program, providing jazz technique and instrumental music lessons for low-income and minority band students at Denny International Middle Scholl in southwest Seattle. "Marcus works very hard, has been crucial in developing the dynamic music program at Denny/Sealth, and is so deserving of this honor," said Susan Jenkins, SRJO Board President and co-ordinator of the Jazz Scholars program.
Through its Jazz Scholars program, SRJO provides six professional instructors for weekly individual or group lessons in the six areas of band instrumentation, as well as assisting Marcus with sectional rehearsals for the entire band. We are extremely proud of his accomplishments, and pleased by his recognition.

Holocaust Memorials
How we have remembered. . .
This memorial can be found in Vienna, Austria
The building is made to look like library shelves full of books- it is known as the Nameless Library. This symbolizes the people who died without recognition or name.
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews- found in Berlin, Germany
These structures are supposed to make the visitor feel confused. The maze-like structure provides an experience that would symbolically represent the way the holocaust was beyond all human reason.
The Sculpture of Love and Anguish
-Miami, Florida
This hand is meant to symbolize the hand of a Jewish prisoner- even marked with a prisoner number. The figures at the base of the arm are human bodies in anguish representing the terror of the Holocaust.
This shoe memorial can be found in Budapest, Hungary
These shoes symbolize the individuals who were thrown into the river as part of the torment during the Holocaust
Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation
-Paris, France
This memorial is meant to make the visitor feel claustrophobic. The inscription on the plaque in the floor reads "They descended into the mouth of the earth and they did not return."
The room symbolizes the death chamber of all the lost French souls during the Holocaust.
Weeping Williows- found in Budapest, Hungary
This memorial signifies the 400,000 Hungarian Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. The names of the victims can be found on the leaves of the tree.
Now it's your turn.
As you think about your project, consider how you can use symbolism to enhance the meaning of your presentation. Remember everyone will do a short 2-3 minute speech with your project- so you have time to explain your symbolism and demonstrate how your project is a fitting memorial to always remember...
"Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned
to repeat it."
--Philosopher George Santayana
something, esp. a structure, established to remind people of a person or event.

Mostly Cloudy
A butcher cuts into a piece of veal.
PETALUMA, Calif. - About 8.7 million pounds of meat from Northern California company Rancho Feeding Corporation have been recalled.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection service says this is a significant expansion of one announced last month, when more than 40,000 pounds of the company's products were recalled.
The agency says Rancho Feeding processed diseased animals without a full federal inspection. No illnesses have been linked to the meat, but it is considered unfit for human consumption.
Some of the meat was sold in Florida, in addition to Texas, California and Illinois. It is not immediately clear which companies received the meats, nor whether they were sold in markets or restaurants. A wide range of products are listed in the recall.
The meats were produced and shipped between January 1, 2013 and January 7, 2014. They all have "EST. 527" in the USDA mark of inspection and have a case code number ending in 3 or 4.
See all the products included in the recall on the USDA website.

Ok, so last month I accidentally hurt my friend really bad emotionally. Basically, I told her I liked a different girl (I had no idea she liked me). After that, she began ignoring me. Rarely saying hi to me. Well, I could feel myself losing interest in my crush and gaining it in her. So, I told my friends I liked her and without my permission they go and tell her. They told me she was shocked, and that she didn't say no to me. So the next day, she confronted me. She couldn't stop smiling at me and she said she has "mixed feelings," and that she wanted to know how I felt. I told her "I don't know," and now she's back to ignoring me like before. Is there a reason why she's doing this again? I'd like to really know her but it's hard to do when she begins ignoring you and every time I feel like she'd bite my hand off if I went up to talk to her.
P. S if it helps when I told her how I felt she began to be more open and poking me playfully.

Read why every home needs this practical kitchen cart.
Looking for some extra space in her sewing room, a customer emailed me and asked which portable kitchen island cart I would recommend.

This review is unbiased since I am not the seller, I am the researcher so you are getting all the pros and cons. Hope you have many years of enjoying your very practical and versatile kitchen cart on wheels. Please keep in mind that this review if for a create-a-cart, fully customized. You can choose your wood finish and counter top and all the extras. You will definitely not go wrong with this choice. You will enjoy it for years to come and it may well become the family heirloom!
It has often been said, "I wish I had more storage." No matter how much space we have in our homes, we always seem to need more. This wish is granted, because Homestyles has created the perfect cart for you. This is ideal if you have a very small kitchen, or need extra space in your laundry room, sewing room, craft room or even as a student's desk/library. You would be able to use this cart in your craft or sewing room. Do-it-Yourself pros would love this portable kitchen cart in their workshop, especially because of the ample storage it provides.
Bonnie from Lancaster, PA found a new use for hers. She had a "new baby on the way and needed some additional storage space and this provided the perfect solution."(allkitchencarts.com).
Imagine how great this cart would look in a nursery; let alone how much convenience it could provide. It would make an unbelievably beautiful changing table and would offer all the space you need for storing diapers, wipes, and all the other odds and ends that go along with a new addition to the family. You could even use the spice rack to hold powder, lotion, and other items so that they are right on hand when you need them. This mobile wood kitchen cart can be rolled and placed in what location you desire and then the two casters can be locked in place.
This high quality solid hardwood mobile oak kitchen cart has been created by Home Styles, one of the highest-rated producers of kitchen carts and islands. The customizable finish on this cart is extremely eye catching and will help bring an extra touch of elegance to your kitchen, dining room or any other room in your beautiful home.
We have been promoting this item for a while now and it is easy to see why; everything about this natural wood kitchen island cart screams practicality. This cart is solid wood construction. Owners have applauded the beauty and practicality of this cart.
Once we researched this kitchen islands cart we were mightily impressed, as we are sure you will be too. Read on to find out more information…
Let's Take a Look in More Detail…
This Natural Wood Kitchen Cart is gorgeous. The wood is smooth and hard-wearing and the design and layout of this mobile cart makes incorporating it into your home very easy. After owning this for a while you will wonder how you ever managed without it.
What is Included
This portable kitchen cart includes all the essential extras to make this practical:
-kitchen carts on wheels
-solid wood construction
-2 utility drawers with metal glides
-adjustable middle shelf
-side positioned tea towel rail
-4 heavy duty locking casters
-customizable top
-customizable finish
-thorough instructions on how to assemble this cart
How much should you pay for this cart?
The suggested retail price for this Homestyles kitchen cart is around $575.00. But if you shop around you can bag yourself a bargain. Wayfair consistently have the best price for this wood kitchen cart on or around $450.00
How hard is it to assemble?
As with all items like this, the buying part is relatively easy – it's the assembling that takes time. This kitchen cart island comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual which has step-by-step advice.
As the cart is made from real, natural, solid wood, the pieces can be heavy. Luckily, it is in easy-to-handle sections so assembly isn't a strain. It took us about 21/2 hours. All the parts are clearly marked, so that makes it very easy!
The solid wood guarantees a long-lasting cart and the locking wheels at the bottom allow it to be either mobile or stationary.
How durable is the top?
You have your choice of tops. The durable stainless steel top can endure quite a lot, chosen by professional chefs and restaurants. It is very
healthy so bacteria are not easily contained. It is easy to clean – just spray some soapy water or vinegar on and wipe! It is easy to wipe down and doesn't hold on to stains. If you want the top to remain in perfect condition, just treat it as you would the rest of your kitchen work tops.
You can also choose salt-and-pepper granite top. Granite is strong and can remain new and beautiful for years. Just follow the care instructions that comes with the manual and you should be good to go.
Choosing the wood top gives you the option to use it as a butcher block for food preparation. Having that extra counter space/food prep area will definitely make your meal-prep time more efficient.
Don't be afraid to put hot dishes on it. Like all surfaces, though, caution should be taken when placing your hot pots or casseroles on the stainless steel top kitchen cart. Remember that it will stay nicer longer if you always use a hot pad or trivet.
What can you use to clean it?
Non-abrasive cleaners do a wonderful job! Most kitchen cleaners are fine on most surfaces. You may need wood-grade oil for the wood surfaces. If you are worried that your normal kitchen cleaner will do harm, just read the back of the product; they usually state whether they can be used on your wood, granite, or stainless steel top.
What is it Made From?
As mentioned in the title, this cart is made from solid oak wood with your choice of finish. This rolling kitchen cart does have metal runners for the drawers to ensure smooth opening/closing. The rolling/locking casters at the bottom are made from rubber and metal.
Does it Come with a Warranty?
Your kitchen cart comes with a limited warranty. However, if you buy it from a reputable retailer, such asWayfair and you have any genuine problems, they will endeavor to correct it. Homestyles also has excellent customer service.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer, after basal cell carcinoma. These cancers arise from pre-cancerous growths known as actinic keratosis. These cancers are more commonly seen in light skin individuals with a history of chronic sun exposure. Although SCC usually has a low chance of spreading, these tumors can spread if left untreated for long period of time, in patients with abnormal immune systems, and in certain locations, such as ears and lips.
The greatest risk factor associated with squamous cell carcinoma is cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) over a lifetime. UV light comes from the sun and artificial sources such as tanning beds. Individuals with fair skin are more susceptible to squamous cell carcinoma. Other factors, such as chronic skin inflammation and infection and immune deficiency or suppression from medication increase the risk of squamous cell carcinoma.
Most frequently seen in parts of the skin that have been exposed to the sun – the face, neck, scalp, hands, shoulders, arms and back, for example – squamous cell carcinoma can occur on all areas of the body, including mucous membranes and nails. Some symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma include:
When detected and treated at an early stage, squamous cell carcinomas are often curable and will not cause ongoing harm. However, if squamous cell carcinomas are not removed promptly, they can penetrate underlying tissues, causing further damage. Some common treatment options include:
If you have concerns about an open sore or a spot on your skin that does not go away, bleeds or changes in appearance, contact our doctors for an appointment. With their expert diagnosis and understanding, our dermatologists can recommend the most appropriate treatment for your skin condition and alleviate any fears you may have. Our doctors also recommend a yearly screening to make sure there are no other abnormal lesions.

text: LOL... I was in Old Town (Alexandria,Va) a little while ago . Browsing one of my favorite Antique shops there when I noticed a man in the store carrying a Speedy Mono! 35 I think. I was also carrying mine. We were for a moment interested in the same piece (an antique mirror) so when he noticed mine he said, "Nice Bag".....LOL. I didn't really know what to say about his but I just said "yours too" and we shared a laugh. He was dressed very well and was very handsome but the bag looked odd on him. He wasn't the least bit uncomfortable carrying it. It was as if it was his everyday bag..... He wasn't with anyone because he parked in front of the store and when he left he just got into his car and drove off. I love a stylish man and I'm married to one but the Speedy is going a little bit too far I think...lol. I may be wrong so correct me if I am...lol I'd never seen a man with it before so to me is was odd... Is it just me or is Speedy a unisex bag? What do you think? Perhaps I'm out of touch with what's new in fashion?....lol

This gentle, hypoallergenic deoderant is suitable for all skin types! The Alba Tea Tree Deodorant Stick has long lasting, all natural protection without any preservatives!
Ingredients include: Vegetable glycerin with certified organic aloe vera barbadensis, tea tree (melaleuca alternifolia), alpine lichen (usnea barbata) and green tea (camellia sinensis), sodium stearate, steareth-100, sodium bicarbonate, glyceryl stearate, oleic acid, sodium chloride, ethylhexylglycerin, cetyl alcohol, grapefruit extract (citrus grandis) and pure essential oils.
Sourced from www.albabotanica.com
Alba is a great deodorant. I've used it for a few months now and it has been very effective. No white residue. No smelly sweaty armpits. It's all natural and has no preservatives whatsoever. I love the smell of fresh deodorants and the only thing I can complain about is that the scent of the deodorant is a bit too light.
I'm trying to steer clear of anti-perspirants since there has been discussion of its link to breast cancer (although research says there is very little risk). I would rather take the safe route of using deodorants instead of anti-perspirants that block sweat glands. Recently I had an experience that has confirmed my belief that I should stay away from antiperspirants. I used an anti-perspirant one day (and this is after using my deodorant for months) and had a bad reaction to the antiperspirant (likely due to the chemicals). My armpits broke out and had little bumps on it. I finally found my deodorant (I misplaced it) and after a few days of using it, my underarm skin recovered. I don't think I can go back to antiperspirants knowing that they contain chemicals that can affect your skin and sweat glands. I will be sticking to all-natural deodorants from now on.

There are two ways to create a user database in SQL server. following are the two ways of creating database.
1)Using SQL Server database creation wizard
2)Using T-SQL Scripts.
I will teach you both ways of creating the database.
So lets start with first option(using wizard).
I have opened the SQL Server Management Studio on my laptop and below is the screen shot of the same.
For creating a user database, we need to right click on the databases folder(as shown in the picture) and then a menu with different options will appear in front of us. As we want to create a new database, we will select the "new database" option from the menu. As soon as we click on the option "new database", a new window will pop up in front of us(Please see the screen shot of the new window).
In the above window there is a text field in front of the "database name" label, we can provide a relevant name to the database by filling that text field. There is one more label underneath "database name" label, "owner", that indicates the owner of the database. Typically if we are logged into the management studio using "Sa" login then owner would be "Sa" and if we are logged into the management studio using windows authentication then our windows login would be the owner of the database. Lets understand different options available in the wizard window. In the above window, there are two rows and the description for each row is given below.
1)First row is having all the information about the primary data file that is also known as(.mdf file).
2)Second row in having all the information about the log file that is also known as (.ldf file).
Each row contains following information :-
1) Logical filename :- This field is automatically filled when we type in name of the database in the database name text field but if we want to change the name we can change it.
2)File Type:- This field tells us whether this file will contain data rows or transaction logs.
3)File Group:- This field tell us about the filegroup associated with the database file(either primary or secondary)
4)Initial Size(In MB):- This field tell us about the initial size of the database when created,we can set the size of the data file and log file at the creation of the database.By default data file size is 2 MB and log file is 1 MB of size.
5)Autogrowth:- To understand autogrowth option, lets have a look on the below screen shot.
We can set this option enabled or disabled. by default it is enabled. You can see in the screen shot there are two options available, first one is for file growth, you can put the file growth rate in percentage or in Megabytes. Let me make you understand in a better way.Suppose you have a database of size 2 MB and you have put file growth size in Megabytes (5 MB) , now your database is online and data rows are getting inserted in the tables. As soon as your data size in the tables reached at 2 MB i.e. your current size of the database, insertion of one more data row will results into grow your database size by 5 MB(as you have put the growth rate 5 MB).
Second option is Maximum file size:- You can limit your database size by selecting "restricted file growth" option.
6)Path :- File path field contains the full physical path of the data file and log file on the disk. You can modify it according to your needs.
7)Filename :- This field contains the physical file name, you can provide any meaning full name to your database files.
Lets try to understand more options available on the database creation wizard window.
At the left side there are two more options available, when we click on options menu, we can see different set of attributes, if I take all the attributes one by one , we will not be able to create database today
I will explain these options in my subsequent blogs, But there is one option that I really want to explain now.
Compatibility level :-You can set you database compatibility level using this option and make it backward compatible with SQL older versions. If you set that option as SQL Server 2000, it will allow you to use the older features of version 2000.
Second option at the left side is file group, Please see below screen shot for your reference.
You can see the add button, using add button we can add more file groups and then further we can associate one or more files to that file group. Creation of file group is a different topic that I will cover it in advanced learning, for now you just keep it in your mind that using file group, we can spread our data on multiple drives for optimization of performance.
Now we are read to create the database, As soon as you click on "OK" button, a database will be created in SQL Server. This way we can create a user database using wizard. How to create a user database using T-SQL scripts, I will let you know in my next post. Till then take care bye bye.

It was a sing-off that ended in a draw when Northern Ireland fans and Wales supporters partied after the match that send the Green and White Army out of the Euros.
The good-natured banter started when a group of Northern Ireland fans started chanting to the Wales crowd - "You're only a small part of England" to which they replied "You're only a small part of Ireland".
While tourists lined up to get a selfie with the teams, they eventually joined together in a roaring chorus.

Publisher: THQ
Developer: Heavy Iron Studios
Release Date: June 2008
Genre: Action Adventure
If you're a fan of Super Smash Bros. Brawl's R.O.B. the Robot, you're going to love WALL-E, his new PIXAR protege. The star of the latest film from the award-winning animation studio, WALL-E is box-shaped robot bursting with attitude. His Wii debut falls firmly into the traditional action adventure platforming genre, but there's also some Wii-exclusive elements thrown into the mix, like the IR-controlled shooting stages.
Developer Heavy Iron Studios also produced last year's capable film-to-game conversion of Ratatouille, so WALL-E's in good hands.
For a closer look at PIXAR's newest hero in action, check out our footage from the game. You can also click over to our hands-on for more.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Vicarious Visions
Release Date: June 27, 2008
Genre: Music
Pipping rival Rock Band to the post, the Guitar Hero franchise makes its second claim on Wii territory with this Aerosmith-focused standalone edition. The classic songlist of Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer takes centre stage, as digital versions of each of the five rockers stand alongside such GH series staple mascots as Axel Steel and Casey Lynch. The title won't be exclusively built on Aerosmith music, though &#Array; other classic bands like The Clash, Run DMC and Stone Temple Pilots all feature on the disc too.
IGN's hands-on with the game should help you make your summer music genre purchasing decision &#Array; should you migrate to Rock Band or stick with Guitar Hero? Either way you'd be best served to pick a path and stay with it, as it doesn't look like the two competing series' instrument controllers will be cross-compatible with one another on Wii.
We Love Golf!
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Camelot Software Planning
Release Date: July 4, 2008
Genre: Sports
Nintendo fans are used to hitting the links with Mario's crew of Mushroom Kingdom characters, but now the cast leaving the country club for a swing at the greens is coming from Capcom instead. Camelot Software Planning, the studio that developed Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64 and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the GameCube, is back on the Nintendo console golf scene again, but with Capcom publishing this puppy expect to see Ryu, Chun-Li and King Arthur from Ghosts 'N Goblins instead of the Big N's motley crew.
The gameplay's boasts a motion-controlled upgrade, marrying the accessible swing mechanics of Wii Sports Golf with the depth of Camelot's previous golf designs. It'll be a must-have for golf fans on Wii this summer, and checking out our recent hands-on impressions should give you a good idea for how this one's been shaping up.
