Sound Off appearing in the Feb. 21 Daily Times
Instead of doing something constructive, Americans want to continue to whine about the price of their gasoline. Meanwhile, they still shun carpools and public transportation, while continuing to purchase huge, gas-guzzling cars. Consumers in other countries have paid top dollar for gas for years. It is a commodity and a luxury. Let's stop wasting our time on the "blame game," and let's start figuring out how to conserve our resources.
To "Put the Phone Down." I see people all the time texting and talking on the phone while driving. They're oblivious of the cars around them. I feel if you cause an accident and it can be proven you were texting or talking on the phone, you should pay a heavy fine and receive jail time. To me it's just as bad as drunk driving. When are people going to wise up?
To "Morton," relations with China go back to Richard Nixon and have gotten progressively worse since. Every U.S. president since has allowed them to have unfair trade practices, because you can't compete with a country that pays their workers the equivalent of $2 per day, which is basically slave labor. You can't blame President Obama for the acts of other presidents and the corporations who outsourced jobs.
To the caller saying there still aren't any jobs under President Obama, I see plenty of jobs out there. In fact I'm looking for a job right now, and I can't decide which one of my three offers I want. When you know what you're doing, someone will always hire you. As far you saying the country's in turmoil -- Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan are in turmoil, not the United States.
What's going on with President Obama blaming others for the sequestration when he was the one who wanted it and signed off on it? This, is after coming back from a three-day vacation with $1,000 an hour charges to play with a professional golfer. Come on, America. Wise up. Continued...
The present debate on Head Start's value seems to be rooted in a lack of emphasis on basic reading skills. In the past, before all this information technology, all of our texts were in print alone, with minimum pictures or illustrations. All assignments were done in cursive. There were regularly supervised reading and writing activities. Everyone went to a competitive high school, and eventually to a competitive college. Oh, and our school had over 50 children in a classroom, and an excellent professional teacher – a nun.
One thought on the gun control debate: Maybe if you have any kind of personal fortitude, you don't need to carry a firearm. That's just my thought.
I guess today is Spoiled American Day. I hear everyone complaining that gasoline is reaching $4 per gallon again. Look online about gas prices in Europe. If it was $7-$10 per gallon here like over there people would be screaming bloody murder. Then I hear someone won a lawsuit for financial mismanagement after her agents left her with only $13 million. Americans are the most spoiled people in the world.
People complain about Republicans in Congress cutting from seniors, from school lunches, saying they're being detrimental to the country. People do not understand economics. You cannot continue spending when there is no money to spend. The only way the government can continue to spend money is if they take it from somebody.
, that somebody being taxpayers who are complaining about government spending. The government has to halt the spending until they can create a firm budget and stick with it. Taxpayers' budgets are limited, so the government's should be too. Continued...
Please, please, please someone save us from these politicians. They're driving America right into the ground. They've got to work together, I don't care who's in office. This is very, very scary for our country.

Christine Milne, Senator for Tasmania and Leader of the Australian Greens, is one of Australia's most experienced and respected environmental and community activists, with a career spanning 30 years.
After leading a highly successful alliance of farmers, fishers, scientists, environmentalists and concerned community members from Wesley Vale to prevent the construction of a polluting pulp mill, Christine was elected to the Tasmanian parliament in 1989, and became the first woman to lead a political party in Tasmania in 1993. She was elected to the Senate in 2004, and elected Deputy Leader of the Greens by her colleagues in 2008.
Christine's vision, her deep policy knowledge about climate change and her unparalleled experience with power-sharing minority governments led to the establishment of the Multi-Party Climate Change Committee and its successful negotiations to design the Clean Energy Future package which will place innovation, opportunity and clean energy at the forefront of the transformation of the Australian economy for the 21st century.
Having grown up on a dairy farm, Christine's commitment to and understanding of farmers, the needs of regional Australia and the future of the country's food production is widely appreciated. She is currently overseeing the development of a major local and global food security and sovereignty campaign placing sustainable agriculture, biosecurity, healthy eating, and a fair go for farmers, as priorities in maintaining Australia's world renowned food industry.
When in the Tasmania parliament, Christine constructed a comprehensive plan to transform the state into a "clean, green and clever" economy. Although futuristic at the time, her proposal has become main stream, and Christine has brought a similar vision to the federal parliament.
Christine has long recognised the arts as playing a central role in our quality of life and self awareness as Australians. As well as a passionate attendee at galleries and performances, Christine works hard to bring the needs of artists to parliament.
Christine's global reputation was recognised when she was appointed a United Nations Global 500 Laureate and elected Global Vice-President of the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) from 2005-08.

Improving TV sound is easy: Add a soundbar. But getting the soundbar to work seamlessly with the TV? That's hard.
Ideally, you'd want the system to work the same way as the TV would on its own. When you turn the TV on, the soundbar comes on, too. When you hit the volume and mute buttons on the TV remote, the soundbar responds. This way, anyone who can work a TV could work the whole system. And you wouldn't have to be on call whenever other family members can't figure out how the A/V gear works.
You'd think that one of the giant corporations that make TVs and soundbars would have done this by now, but to my knowledge, none has bothered beyond a few half-hearted attempts. Meanwhile, Zvox Audio — a little independent company whose annual R&D budget is probably less than the monthly coffee budget at the HQ of Panasonic or Samsung — seems to have solved the problem quite gracefully with its new Z-Base 580.
In many ways, the 580 follows the same formula that made the company's original Z-Base models a success. It's a slim black box that fits under your TV. It incorporates left, center, and right speakers: three 3.25-inch midrange/tweeter drivers in the center and one each at the far left and right of the enclosure. It has dual 6.5-inch woofers, and all amplification is internal. And it uses Zvox's PhaseCue processing — this time in an updated PhaseCue II version.
But in other ways, the 580 is radically different from any past Zvox product. While previous Z-Bases were all-analog, the 580 uses a digital signal processing (DSP) chip. It also accepts digital signals (Dolby Digital or PCM) through its coaxial and optical digital inputs. An alphanumeric display behind the front grille shows volume level and function indicators.
Most important, the Zvox 580 integrates almost seamlessly with your TV. After you place it under your TV, you punch a few buttons on the soundbar's front panel to teach it the power on, power off, volume up/down, and mute commands from your set's remote. From that point on, the 580 will respond to your TV's remote just as your TV does. Shut off your set's internal speakers, and you'll hear only the sound of the 580. But don't throw away the little remote included with the Zvox 580: You still need it to choose among the soundbar's three sound-expansion modes and to activate special features like Dialog Emphasis and Volume Leveling.
Wait a minute, though, before you type your Visa number into Zvox's site. I said it integrates "almost seamlessly" with your TV, not "seamlessly." More on that shortly.
From a physical standpoint, there's not much to setting up the Zvox 580. Move your TV, put the 580 in its place, and put the TV on top. It's much easier than trying to hang a soundbar on the wall, in part because the cables are a bit easier to hide.
You can connect the 580 to your TV using the soundbar's analog or digital inputs. I tried both, relying mainly on a Toslink optical digital audio connection from my Samsung 47-inch LCD TV. I connected a Samsung Blu-ray Disc player to the TV instead of to the 580, which allowed me to do all of my source selection through the TV. I used the TV's onscreen menu to turn its internal speakers off.
The process of teaching the TV remote codes to the 580 took only 5 minutes. So, in a matter of about 15 minutes total, I had a clean-looking, fully functioning audio/video system all set up. And when I hit the TV remote's power button, the soundbar came right on with it, just as I'd always dreamed one would.
That said, the operation sometimes wasn't seamless. The soundbar automatically powers down after about 5 minutes with no signal, but your TV doesn't, so if you walk away from the TV to fix yourself a drink with your Blu-ray player in pause mode, you could come back to fi nd the TV on and the soundbar off. (The "cheat sheet" included with the unit does tell you how to defeat this feature.) Also — and I'm not sure why this occurs — the input selector button on the TV remote controls the input selector on the soundbar, too, so changing the input on the TV also changes the input on the soundbar. That's annoying.
Hi Brent - thanks for your review of the ZVOX 580. I've had mine for 2 weeks now, and would like to share my thoughts. I have it connected using two inputs; The analog in-1 is fed by my DirecTV HR24 DVR, and the optical digital input is connected to my Panasonic TC-P46S30 TV. I use the analog connection to allow insertion of a pair of inline audio pads (-12db each), so I can get the volume steps on the ZVOX volume control less coarse.
First, I'm skeptical about digital amplifiers (IMO, very few of them sound good), but I realize that they kind of go along with digital inputs, which the ZVOX sorely needed. Makes me wonder if I'd have been happier with the now discontinued 575 HSD model.
Second, I'm also against so-called full-range drivers (remember the Bose 901?), or small midrange drivers trying to also be tweeters. At close range, the 3.5-inch speakers sound harsh, especially up in the high freq's.
Lastly, You're right about your assessment of the "Dialog Emphasis" feature (it's bad), but not the "Output Levelling" feature. For those of us who disdain loud commercials or movie action sequences at +30db, this item is essential. When I engage it, the volume fluctuations I observe are caused by the background music changing levels, another problem with the content (not the ZVOX).
I think in order for the manufacturers to make the Zvox TV sound system work with many remote controllers, they must have allowed it to undergo intensive usability testing. Though it might not achieve the same effect as many other high end home theatre systems out in the market, for that price, and quality, I think it is a pretty good deal! The most serious of audiophiles need not apply though.
This is Fred Pinkerton from ZVOX Audio.
The ZBASE 580 (and other current ZVOX systems) enters "Standby" after
about 9 minutes of audio silence. We have heard very little complaints about
this feature. If the speaker enters Standby, a press of the Mute, Volume Up
or Volume Down restores operation.
On the back of the "learn your remote" instruction sheet, there is a column
that describes how to disengage "Auto Standby". This converts any current
ZVOX Audio system into straight "manual" on/off mode.
It sounds like the ZVOX 580 does a lot of things well. Most, if not all of the review and comments seem to be related to TV, movies or games. How does it do with music? I would want to listen to CD's and internet music through it as well.
I think the Dialog Emphasis feature will be more appreciated for the not so young. Apparently this was lost on the reviewer.

The Saratogian (saratogian.com), Serving the Saratoga Springs, N.Y. region
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
In light of the news that a new, multiplex cinema will add 11 screens for moviegoers in downtown Saratoga Springs, the 20-year-old Saratoga Film Forum plans to continue its mission to show current, entertaining movies, some addressing the nation's hot-button issues.
Some of its film choices exemplify the organization's name as a "forum" for public discussion. That's the case with this week's feature.
Some documentaries put their finger on the pulse of a national concern, and others go one better — they tap a raw, throbbing nerve. "Waiting for Superman" did that.
"Bully," a documentary by Lee Hirsch, weaves together the stories of five children and two sets of parents, all bullies' victims in one way or another.
"Bully" takes on a phenomenon some parents and educators say has reached epidemic proportions in public schools. But in the end, the documentary may prove less important for its insights into this crisis than for what it's done to whip up an overdue national debate.
Why are some kids singled out and bullied? What happens to a kid who is bullied every day in a hundred little devastating ways? Why are parents and educators so slow to intervene, and so often clueless when they do? Is it bullying that makes a bully?
A Mississippi schoolgirl trains a gun on her classmates in a school bus. That's a bully hard at work alright, notes the sheriff who books her on 22 felony counts. But what drove the schoolgirl to this point? As it turns out, years of bullying and harassment is missing from the sheriff's viewfinder.
The cheerful bullies who poke, choke and taunt |12-year-old Alex from Sioux City, Iowa, don't let the filmmaker get in the way of their good time, and you have to wonder how much worse it is for Alex when they aren't being filmed? Bullying is so much part of the routine they don't know it for what it is. Business as usual: Here comes Alex. Someone sock him in the nose.
"Bully is a wrenching, transformative look at an epidemic of adolescent cruelty and adult paralysis ..." says National Public Radio.
From Rolling Stone: "The best social documents on film do more than show you what's wrong in the world, they make it personal. 'Bully' does that with a passion."
But tough as "Bully" is, the "R" rating the Motion Picture Association of American slapped on it (for some rough language, and one harsh sequence) may do more harm than good in depriving the target audience — schoolroom bullies, bystanders, and victims — a chance to see this movie.
Time magazine observes, "Imagine that a bully turns 17, finally sees the film and thinks, 'Oh, I shouldn't have done that when I was a kid. Why didn't someone show me the movie then?' "
Still, an R rating doesn't prohibit teenagers attending if they are accompanied by an adult.
The Film Forum is screening "Bully" four times between Thursday and Monday. Panel discussions will follow three screenings on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Panelists include educators, middle school students, Saratoga County District Attorney Jim Murphy, a retired city principal turned advocate for anti-bullying intervention and education, parents and student representatives from gay and lesbian school groups.
Screenings with discussion are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 7 p.m. Sunday. An additional screening without discussion is at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
There will be no reserved seating for this special event. Admission is $7 for the general public, and $5 for members and students.
The Saratoga Film Forum Theater is in the Arts Center at 320 Broadway on the corner of Spring Street. For more information about the panelists and panels, go to www.saratogafilmforum.org or call (518) 584-FILM.

Looked all over to replace my prior slip-ons (another brand). This style looks similar to the old one and is more comfortable. I usually don't wear socks with these shoes and the lining is very comfortable.

Zürich is rich in cultural highlights. With over 50 museums and more than 100 galleries, Zürich is one of the world's major art trade centers. Zürich's cultural institutions such as the Opera House, the Tonhalle Orchestra, and the Schauspielhaus theater tempt visitors and residents with high culture on the stage.

The Zurich Opera House was the first Opera House in all of Europe that had electric lighting. The neo-baroque theatre building in front of the Sechseläuten green space on the shore of Lake Zürich was built in 1891 upon 1,800 oak piles. The first opera performed there was Richard Wagner's 'Lohengrin'.
The history of the Zurich Opera House is full of highlights: Wilhelm Furtwängler started his career here, and Richard Wagner's 'Parsifal' was performed here in 1913 – the first time it had ever been performed outside Bayreuth. Ferruccio Busoni, Paul Hindemith, Richard Strauss, Othmar Schoeck, Arthur Honegger, Frank Martin and other famous composers all influenced the development of Zürich's musical and theatrical life.
The Zurich Opera House is considered one of the best venues in the world for opera. In more than 270 performances per season, such international singing stars as Anna Netrebko, Cecilia Bartoli or Jonas Kaufmann and many others can be experienced live at the Zurich Opera House.
> Repertoire Zürich Opera House
The Zurich Opera House has just come up with a very special service for culture lovers: it is the first European opera house to offer its guests from abroad a full service including an opera ticket, travel expenses (return journey by train with Deutsche Bahn or by plane on SWISS), the ZürichCARD and an overnight stay at a hotel. Those interested will be advised personally by employees of the Opera House.

Police arrest 12 after large group converges on Gold Coast
By Jonathan Bullington and Carlos Sadovi and Tribune reporters
May 19, 2013
Eleven juveniles and one adult were arrested last night after a large group converged near the Gold Coast and were blocking traffic, police said. The people were arrested and charges were pending, said Chicago Police News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti. The youths were part of a group that had caused a "minor disturbance" in the area, Ursitti said. She said the group members were not being violent and there were no reported injuries. The group was made up of several dozen members who roamed from Michigan Avenue west on Chicago Avenue to LaSalle Street and witnesses said they were between the ages of 14 and 19 years old. Paula Bishop, 49, who was visiting from Michigan to attend her son's graduation from the Moody Bible Institute said at about 7:45 p.m. saw the group walking by. "They were cursing, being obnoxious," said Bishop. A heavy police presence flooded the area on bicycles and on foot.
Winning ticket for $590.5M Powerball jackpot sold in Florida market
May 19, 2013
A single winning ticket for a record Powerball lottery jackpot worth $590.5 million was sold in Florida, organizers said late on Saturday, but there was no immediate word about who won one of the largest jackpots in U.S. history. The winning numbers from Saturday night's drawing were: 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball number of 11. The odds of winning were put at 1 in 175 million. The winning ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, a suburb of Tampa, according to the Florida Lottery.
Steps can be taken to relieve or prevent night leg cramps
Tribune Media Services and Medical Edge from Mayo Clinic
April 13, 2012
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: As I've gotten older, I seem to get leg cramps at night more frequently. Is there anything I can do once it begins, or do I just have to wait it out? Are there ways to prevent them from occurring in the first place? ANSWER: Anyone who's ever woken up with a leg cramp knows how painful it can be when one of their muscles suddenly contracts. Night leg cramps typically involve calf muscles. Yet, it's possible to get these cramps in the feet or thighs, as well. In most cases, night leg cramps are harmless and can be relieved or even prevented with some simple stretching or other self-care measures.
Age gap: She's old enough to be his ... wife
By Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz, Tribune Newspapers
September 19, 2012
When he moved to Los Angeles, Charlie Capen, 20 at the time, could have joined his friends hitting the clubs. Instead, he fell in love with a woman eight years older, an age difference that has provided far more benefits than challenges - except for one thing. "When she'd start to talk about Duran Duran or Erasure, I was like, 'What are you talking about?'" said Charlie Capen, now 31 and married to Avara, 39, for eight years. Aside from light teasing about divergent pop culture references, and occasional jokes that Avara will trade Charlie in for a younger model, the age gap barely registers in their romance, even as society still looks askance at the pairing of an older woman with a younger man. Though hardly as scandalous as it was in Mrs. Robinson's day - Hollywood's proud examples include Mariah Carey (10 years older than her husband, actor Nick Cannon)
Alarms should sound on deal
Gregory Karp and Spending Smart
May 11, 2012
An electronic home security system can be the source of great peace of mind or great financial headache. That's because buying a system, and the alarm monitoring that often goes along with it, can be a thorny purchase, fraught with such perils as wildly differing prices, high-pressure sales tactics and unfriendly contracts. Basic home security systems, or burglar alarms, are typically wired to a central control panel in the home that will activate when windows or doors are opened while the system is armed.
Can you solve the 'when to buy' conundrum?
By Ed Perkins, Tribune Media Services
January 22, 2013
Lots of ink and pixels have been devoted to the quest for an answer to the question, "When is the best time to buy airline tickets?" My pat answer has always been, "When they're on sale," but colleague George Hobica of Airfare Watchdog says - and I agree - you can't predict the next sale. Nevertheless, folks keep trying, and you might want to check out the possibilities. The latest information comes from the online travel agency, CheapAir.com, focused on how far in advance the optimum time to buy might be. CheapAir's data are based on extensive mining of its own purchase records: - On historical average, says CheapAir, the ideal time to buy a domestic ticket is 79 days, or seven weeks, in advance of departure, when the average fare for the sample was about $400.

Bulls hit new lows in blowout loss to Heat
By K.C. Johnson, Chicago Tribune reporter
May 13, 2013
Back in mid-January, following yet another desultory home loss to the Suns, Tom Thibodeau crinkled up his face and offered a quote for the ages about readiness to play. "If they say we're playing at midnight on the roof, you should be saying let's get the ladders," he said. As the Bulls trudged off the United Center floor for possibly the last time this season late Monday, 88-65 losers to the Heat, they could've added lifeline to ladders on their checklist of things to pack for Miami.
17 puppies found abandoned near Indiana Dunes
Staff report
May 14, 2013
Seventeen mixed lab puppies were found dumped along a road near the Indiana Dunes, but authorities say they are all healthy and plan to hold adoptions as early as this weekend. "They're great little puppies," said Ashley Hill, dog coordinator for Lakeshore PAWS, a shelter in Valparaiso that is taking care of the dogs. "They're hilarious. " Karen Read told the Northwest Indiana Times that she was driving along State Park Road, just east of Indiana Highway 49 in Porter County Friday night when she spotted the puppies.
An easier way to go
By Julie Deardorff, Tribune Newspapers
November 14, 2012
The most dreaded part of a colonoscopy is prepping for it. The day before the exam, patients often drink large amounts of a vile-tasting liquid, then it's off to the throne for the better part of the day and night. Though unpleasant, this extreme intestinal purging is a critical part of the process. The more thoroughly the colon is cleaned out beforehand, the easier it is for a doctor to detect and remove potentially dangerous precancerous polyps. Colonoscopies, or exams of the lining of the rectum and large intestine through a flexible tube called a colonoscope, are recommended for everyone starting at age 50 and every 10 years after that.
Concealed carry rules for Illinois emerge but face uncertain fate
By Ray Long, Monique Garcia and Rafael Guerrero, Chicago Tribune reporters
May 16, 2013
- A measure spelling out who can carry concealed handguns and where they can carry them emerged Thursday after months of contentious negotiations, a system with one set of rules for violence-plagued Chicago and another for the rest of Illinois. Though the attempt at a compromise cleared its first hurdle in the Senate, it faces considerable opposition from gun rights advocates who derided it as an effort to greatly restrict where guns could be carried for self-defense and argued that it gave too much leeway to law enforcement in denying permits.
Impatiens disease changing American gardens
By William Hageman, Chicago Tribune reporter
April 22, 2013
Chicago-area gardeners face a whole new landscape this spring and summer, one without a longtime favorite. Over the last two years, a fungal disease has devastated America's impatiens beds. Downy mildew was reported in Illinois and 35 other states last year; it was seen in only 11 states in 2011. And the prospects for 2013? "I don't have a crystal ball, but I would bet that areas that had it in the past will still be plagued with that problem," says Greg Stack, a horticulture educator with the University of Illinois extension service.
How to get student loans forgiven
By Anya Kamenetz, Tribune Media Services and The Savings Game
February 12, 2013
Conventional wisdom has it that student loans, whether federal or private, are impossible to walk away from. However, recent research shows that's not the case. Jason Iuliano, a Princeton political science Ph.D. student who also has a degree from Harvard Law School, did a comprehensive search of bankruptcy cases in which borrowers sought to discharge student loans; he found that in four out of 10 cases, judges erased all or part of the debt. Here's the rub: Only 0.1 percent of student loan borrowers who declared bankruptcy actually tried to get their loans forgiven!

Fallout 3 PS3 patched to 1.61
The PS3 version of Fallout 3′s been patched to version 1.61, according to this Fallout.Wikia post.
The update's added a proper Trophy menu, apparently, as well as a Download section under the main menu.
The kids over there are speculating that this means the arrival of the PS3 version of Broken Steel's imminent. Bethesda's never dated the DLC, but we'd say it was a fair assumption.
Thanks, Monk.

New Bethesda game to be announced in "the next month or so"
Fallout 3′s through. Over and done. So, what bomb is Bethesda dropping on the videogame world next? Well, we don't really know. And Bethesda's not telling. For now, anyway.
However, MTV Multiplayer sends word that we'll hear something from Bethesda "in the next month or so." What will it be? Well, according to Pete Hines, it won't be an iPhone project or Todd Howard and co.'s next big thing.
Perhaps it's that Wii game we've been waiting so long to hear about?

Bethesda: There is "enough content out there" for Fallout 3
Bethesda's Todd Howard has said that five DLC chapters was "enough" DLC for Fallout 3.
"I think we've put enough content out there for this game," said Howard.
Speaking to Kotaku, the lead designer on the game said that the dev team was split into two after development on the game was done: one half working on DLC for the game and the other working on the next big title from Bethesda.
"About half the team goes on to the next big game. The other half, which is mostly a lot of artists and designers go on to DLC stuff."
He also revealed that the plan was to do three chapters – Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel – and see what happened from there.
"We knew we wanted to do three initially and we'll see where that goes. I kind of had in my mind that the upper limit was five. Part of that was what I think people are willing to continue to pay for a game. And a lot of that is our own internal bandwidth."
And the rest they say is history.

New weapons, perk revealed for Mothership Zeta
If you'd rather Mothership Zeta's mysterious alien culture remain, well, mysterious, you should probably go ahead and plug your ears and avert your eyes. If not, though, MTV Multiplayer's new info on the DLC is right up your alley.
"Mothership Zeta is full of the most high tech weaponry in the game. It includes a Shock Baton for melee fighters, multiple new firearms including an Alien Atomizer, a pistol, and the Alien Disintegrator, a new rifle. There's also a new grenade type, a Cryo Grenade, which freezes enemies for a short period of time. On top of that there are new unique weapons, and a new heavy weapon," said Bethesda's Jeff Gardiner.
He also revealed a new perk called "Xenotech Expert," which increases your damage-dealing prowess with alien weapons.
On top of that, somewhere on the ship, you'll be able to find an item called "Alien Epoxy," a marvel of alien engineering that repairs items by 25% without a duplicate item. Better still, you have the option of returning to the ship whenever you want, so even if you miss an alien whosit or whatsit while roaming the ship's corridors, you can always come back.
The DLC's out this August for Xbox 360 and PC owners, while PS3 Fallout faithful will have to wait until September.

Level increase for Fallout 3 would throw it out of balance, says Bethesda
Bethesda's Jeff Gardiner has said that a level cap increase for Fallout 3 would throw the game out of balance, therefore, one will not see their character higher than a level 30 any time soon.
"I know from the outside this seems like a fairly simple proposition [for a level increase], but doing this could unbalance the game in a variety of ways," he told MTV.
He continued saying that the games was designed to be replayed several times as a variety of characters, so for fun, just play one of those.

PS3 Fallout 3 DLC delayed, reordered
PS3 owners got a VATS readout of 95% on a June launch for their long-awaited Fallout 3 DLC, but somehow, it still missed. Now, Bethesda's finally pinned down something of a solid release date for the tardy content, though with a bit of a twist.
Instead of rolling out the mini-expansions in proper order, Broken Steel (which raises the game's level cap from 20 to 30) will come out first, followed by Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt "probably at the same time."
Bethesda's "hoping" to finally silence fans' cries "at the end of September." In other words, plans are still subject to change. Here's hoping they don't.
Thanks, Kotaku.

Russian Fallout 3 cosplay is properly frightening
Russian cosplayers have taken the entire concept to a ludicrous level yet again, this time "doing" Fallout 3 with an OCD-level of dedication. Check out a ton of shots of the Brotherhood of Steel and other people that should have stayed in a videogame walking round abandoned eastern locales on English Russia.
The last game to get this style of treatment from the Russian mentalists was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. They may have been Ukranian, though. We don't want to offend anyone. Especially not this lot.

Bethesda almost finished with PS3′s Fallout 3 DLC
Bethesda's Pete Hines says that the Operation: Anchorage DLC for Fallout 3 on PS3 is almost finished.
"It's a different platform with a different way of doing things and it requires special attention and plenty of testing before it's released," he told Eurogamer.
"We are trying to put the finishing touches on it now, but as I said above it's a different task than DLC on another platform, and so there are things we have to finish doing and testing before it's done on PS3."
After this bit is released, Hines revealed that the other packs will follow every 4-6 weeks.

Point Lookout to give Fallout 3 players "several hours" of play
Jeff Gardiner, lead producer on upcoming Fallout 3 DLC Point Lookout, has told Platform Nation that the content will last for "several hours". You'd hope so, really.
Gardiner said Lookout wouldn't be "substantive" specifically "in terms of new gameplay features such as additional levels," but, "there are however lots of new creatures, items, armor, weapons and a whole new area to explore.
"The Point Lookout Swamp is substantive and should engross players for several hours even if they ignore the quest line."
There's an interview through there. The DLC's out tomorrow for 360 and PC.
