A's extend Indians' miserable streak
CLEVELAND — Wednesday night was Dog Night at Progressive Field.
(Your punchline here).
Officially it was called "Puppy Palooza" wherein fans were invited to bring their dogs to the game.
(Your alternate punchline here).
Meanwhile, Losingpalooza continues for the hometown team at the old bawl yard.
This one was an 8-4 loss to Oakland, the Indians' 13th loss in their last 14 games. The Tribe has lost all but five of their last 31 games. Since the all-star break they are 11-34, and their record for the season overall vs. left-handed starters is 14-30.
For the first time since the free fall began, Manager Manny Acta pulled a player out of a game for not hustling. Acta benched catcher Carlos Santana after Santana jogged to first after grounding out to third in the sixth inning.
"We can be beat but we can't look beaten. We need everyone to give full effort all the time," said Acta. "I didn't like the way he ran to first a couple times. Carlos and I have talked about it."
Clearly, all the losing is starting is starting to wear on the players.
"I've never been through a stretch this bad anywhere," said reliever Vinnie Pestano. "It's very frustrating. It seems like whatever we do well one day we don't do the other thing well." Continued...
Pestano was also unhappy with himself for giving up two runs in the ninth inning.
"I'm just disgusted and embarrassed with myself the way I've been pitching lately," he said. "This is getting pretty old."
There was some good news, however: the Indians — get this — scored a run! Four of them, in fact! Listen to that crowd! It's the first time the Indians have scored more than three runs in a game since Aug. 18, a span of nine games.
The four runs are two more than the Indians had scored in their previous three games combined. Two of the runs came in the third inning, which snapped the Indians' streak of 24 consecutive innings without scoring a run.
Maybe Asdrubal Cabrera had the right idea.
The Tribe shortstop got tossed out of the game by home plate umpire Gary Darling after disputing a called third strike in the first inning.
"It was unfortunate," said Acta. "Everyone knows he (Darling) missed it. What makes it bad is that we've talked to Asdrubal about the reason he's struggling is he's chasing pitches. That was a great at bat. He didn't chase a ball out of the zone, but still got called out."
A home run in the third inning by Jason Donald off A's lefty Travis Blackley (5-3) gave the Indians a 1-0 lead. That marked the first time the Indians led in a game since the ninth inning of their game against the Yankees last Saturday. The Indians played 29 consecutive innings without leading, prior to Donald's home run.
Ezequiel Carrera followed Donald's homer with a triple, and Carrera scored on a groundout by Jason Kipnis, his team-leading 63rd RBI.
But it was all Oakland after that as the A's beat the Indians for the seventh time in nine meetings between the two teams. Continued...
Tribe starter Corey Kluber pitched well enough to win — but didn't, thanks to some shoddy defense and a lack of timely hitting by his teammates, who were 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
Kluber, very quietly, has pitched pretty well of late. Throw out
a messy debut in Kansas City on August 2, and in his other five starts he has a 3.91 ERA. In his last three starts Kluber has a 2.25 ERA, with 15 strikeouts in 16 innings.
Wednesday night Kluber pitched six innings and gave up four runs, three earned, with seven strikeouts and no walks.
"I was very encouraged by the way Cory threw the ball tonight. He pounded the zone on both sides of the plate," said Acta.
Kluber's only bad inning was in the fourth inning, immediately after the Indians had taken a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third.
It was a weird fourth inning for Kluber. It unfolded like this: single, strikeout, double, strikeout, home run, double, strikeout.
The three-run home run by Josh Donaldson, which gave the A's a 4-2 lead.
"The home run was a curveball I left up, and he took advantage of it," said Kluber Continued...
Kluber gave up an unearned run in the sixth inning, when Donald, covering second base, allowed a throw from third baseman Jack Hannahan on what should have been a force out to sail untouched between his legs and into right field.
"Donald never saw the throw. He lost it in Hannahan's shirt," said Acta.
Indians pitchers struck out 12, and have fanned 28 in the last two games — both losses.

More NFL players testing positive for amphetamines
NEW YORK (AP) — More NFL players have tested positive this season for amphetamines, which include the ADHD drug Adderall.
The league doesn't identify the substance when a player is suspended for a failed test. But senior vice president Adolpho Birch acknowledged Wednesday an increase in the number of positives for that type of drug.
Since the start of last season, more than 10 players have publicly blamed their four-game suspensions on taking Adderall without a therapeutic use exemption. Players can apply for an exemption by submitting documentation proving they need a prescription to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Birch speculates that more NFL players may be using stimulants because they've become popular among college students in general to aid studying.

'Les Miserables' Makes Case for Complexity
Our polarized country could learn from 'Les Miserables.'
Les Misérables, the musical and now blockbuster movie, is a kind of Rorschach test. Some people see it primarily as a story of faith and redemption and others as a battle of good and evil in a class-driven society.
Others clasp on to the love stories – father and adopted daughter, the love triangle of Marius, Cosette and Éponine, the all-sacrificing mother Fantine. And then there are the moviegoers who don't understand why all those characters have to keep breaking out in song.
But for me, one of the most resounding themes is the triumph of complexity over rigidity. French Police Inspector Javert sees Jean Valjean as bad because he stole a loaf of bread, served 19 years for his crime and then, upon his release, broke parole when society spat on him – literally and figuratively.
The rigid Javert, who keeps up his hunt for the fugitive Valjean, cannot alter his precepts to accept that the ex-con might be a good man who did a desperate thing to feed his sister's son and another desperate act to survive on the outside. There is no room in Javert's consciousness to imagine how the wretched poor might be driven to steal as Valjean did or sell their bodies as Fantine did.
The climax of that storyline comes when Javert is incredulous that Valjean has a chance to kill him and doesn't. The inspector can't reconcile his worldview with receiving mercy from a convict. Javert sings: "There is nothing at all that we share, it is either Valjean or Javert."
It is this inability to see shades of gray (not the "Fifty Shades" that are giving modern female readers the vapors) that makes him the ultimate tragic character.
He has plenty of company in 21st Century America. The polarization of our country is reinforced with every election, every crisis, every Fox News and MSNBC broadcast.
And it manifests itself here in the Patch comment section when arguments devolve from reasoned debate into name calling on issues such as gun laws, the presidential election or the fiscal cliff.
In the first episode of "The West Wing" after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the cast deviated from the regular plot lines to do a show called "Isaac and Ishmael" in which a bunch of school kids are caught in lockdown at the White House because of a terrorist threat.
Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman talks to the teens about terrorists and then tells them to remember pluralism:
"You want to get these people? I mean, you really want to reach in and kill them where they live? Keep accepting more than one idea. It makes them absolutely crazy."
Since we survived the Dec. 21 Mayan deadline for the Apocalypse, it looks like we're all going to be stuck with each other for a while. Let's resolve to look harder for common ground and practice civility even as we argue vigorously for our positions.
Although it's hard to say what the future will bring, it looks like this is my last column for Patch. Thanks for reading. Good luck in 2013.

I noticed your statement about the last column for Patch. Though I'll miss your column, I hope you're not ending your writing and that I'll see you elsewhere.
I agree with you about the comments posted on Patch and believe, if the commentators were face-to-face, it would be different.
I wish you the best as you move on.

Nice food for thought...(This classic has been prequelled/sequelled so many times already)...I agree..The country, nay, the whole world is "devolving" into obscurity after we are done with it with pollution, wars, guns, interpersonal insults...We can only hope for more civility in years to come.
8:46 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
To your point, and from the perspective of Victor Hugo, I believe Javert's character was unable to see those "shades of gray" because he symbolized the French aristocracy at the time being completely aloof to the needs of the common people, which led to the French Revolution. So you're right - Javert would be in good company in our day and age!

Efficacy and safety of saxagliptin in drug-naive Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomized controlled trial
Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, 05/04/2012
Clinical Article
Pan CY et al. – Saxagliptin improved glycaemic control and was well tolerated in drug–naïve Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods- Five hundred sixty-eight drug-naïve adult patients with T2DM and glycated haemoglobin levels (HbA1c) of 7.0–10.0% (53–86 mmol/mol) were randomized 1:1 to receive saxagliptin 5 mg daily or placebo.
- Efficacy endpoints included changes from baseline to week 24 in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), post-prandial glucose area under the curve from 0 to 180 min (PPG AUC0–180), and the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol). Adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) were evaluated.
- Saxagliptin provided statistically significant adjusted mean decreases from baseline to week 24 compared with placebo, respectively, in HbA1c (-0.84% [-9 mmol/mol] versus -0.34% [-4 mmol/mol]; p < 0.0001), FPG (-0.90 versus -0.17 mmol/L; p < 0.0001), and PPG AUC0–180 (-417 versus -235 mmol • min/L; p = 0.0010).
- A significantly greater proportion of patients achieved a therapeutic glycaemic response (HbA1c <7.0% [53 mmol/mol]) with saxagliptin (45.8%) versus placebo (28.8%; p < 0.0001).
- The proportions of patients who experienced ≥1 AE (excluding hypoglycaemia) was 43.3% for saxagliptin and 35.6% for placebo.
- Few patients in either treatment group experienced an SAE (2.8%, saxagliptin; 1.4%, placebo).
- A low proportion of patients reported hypoglycaemic events (1.8%, saxagliptin; 0.7%, placebo).

After courting controversy days ahead of its release, Shahrukh Khan's latest film 'Billu Barber' will see the term 'barber' dropped from its hoardings and posters across the country following objections from an association of hairdressers, terming it "derogatory".
The actor-producer, who spoke to representatives of the Salon and Beauty Parlors Association over the issue, today said his production house Red Chillies Entertainment will ensure that the term 'barber' is removed from all hoardings. Check out the picture gallery of the press meet below.

The search is over. Yahoo just named Scott Thompson as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 9, 2012. It's been four long months for Yahoo after ousting Carol Bartz in September. With this move, interim CEO Tim Morse, will return to his role as Yahoo's CFO.
Thompson comes from PayPal where he served as president at ebay's giant payment company since 2008. As Yahoo points out in the announcement press release, Thompson help grow PayPal into a massive force in the online payment scene. Under his leadership, PayPal grew its user base from 50 million to 104 million active users across 190 countries. It's an impressive feat, no doubt, but Yahoo will certainly present new challenges for Thompson. He's in for a ride.
"Scott brings to Yahoo! a proven record of building on a solid foundation of existing assets and resources to reignite innovation and drive growth, precisely the formula we need at Yahoo!," said Roy Bostock, Chairman of the Yahoo! Board said in a statement today. "His deep understanding of online businesses combined with his team building and operational capabilities will restore the energy, focus, and momentum necessary to grow the core business and deliver increased value for our shareholders. The search committee and the entire Board concluded that he is the right leader to return the core business to a path of robust growth and industry-leading innovation."
Thompson needs to hit the ground running. Yahoo needs a clear path. It needs a renewed focus. Yahoo needs help. The company has been adrift lately, lost in the sea and battling takeover attempts. But with a new chief in place, perhaps Yahoo is ready to once again and stand tall (and maybe reinstall its iconic billboard).
Scott Thompson was formerly CEO of Yahoo!. Before taking up this role he served as president of PayPal with overall responsibility for growing the global leader in online payments. Succeeding Rajiv Dutta in 2008, Scott previously served as PayPal's senior vice president and chief technology officer where he oversaw information technology, product development, and architecture for PayPal. Prior to PayPal, Scott worked for Inovant, a subsidiary of Visa formed to oversee global technology for the organization. As executive vice president...

Crain's editorial: Don't blow it4:30 am, November 19, 2012
Ohio voters were right to reject Issue 2, a flawed measure to change the redistricting process in Ohio. However, the 63%-37% vote shouldn't be viewed as an endorsement of the status quo. Soon after the next session of the Legislature convenes, state lawmakers should change the method of drawing congressional and legislative districts so that the redistricting joke of 2010 isn't repeated in 2020.

The Humble Paint Chip
Up-the-attic-stairs wall.
20 comments:
These are so pretty but where do you get the paint chips? I can't help but think of my locally owned paint stores being wiped out of paint chips for crafts & no one buying paint. The cost goes somewhere, if not to the store owner then the price of the paint goes up to cover it?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi! I am not suggesting running out and taking all the paint chips everywhere :) Just using up the ones you have in your stash. As for me, I always ask if I am taking quite a few (which I do if I am gathering a selection for a client), and have never been told that I can't take them. In fact, I am encouraged to take as many as I want. I suggest asking the person in charge of the paint if you will be taking an extraordinary amount of chips.
So many cute ideas! My friend did a painting themed bday party for her son and used paint chips as cupcake toppers. It was so neat! Thanks for the great inspiration Leslie! :-)
VanessaI love the paint chip ideas...in fact I just pinned the clock! I keep paint chips to match to clothing items so that if I need an accessory or shirt or what have you I can match the color and stick the chip in my purse to carry to match! I have been visiting you often and have you listed on my blogroll at my new site www.dreamsonadollar.com. Hope you stop by!

7 Dec 2012
The first instalment in a new cultural exchange project, Sleep on the Left Side brings together new work by three leading contemporary Australian artists — Kate Daw, Emily Floyd and John Meade — at Seven Art Limited in New Delhi. All three artists have spent time in India and have been influenced by those experiences and the people they encountered.
In 2013, three contemporary Indian artists represented by Seven Art Limited — Aakash Nihalani, Brendan Fernandes and Saravanan Parasuraman — will travel to Melbourne to undertake artist residencies and participate in an exhibition at the University of Melbourne's Margaret Lawrence Gallery at the Victorian College of the Arts. 20 December - 19 January at Seven Arts Gallery New Delhi For more information http://sevenartlimited.com/ |
17 Oct 2012
Emily Floyd has completed a major, architecturally integrated, sculpture titled New Ways of Thinking at Lacrosse, an Elenberg Fraser/Pan Urban project for Melbourne's Docklands Precinct.
6 Oct 2012
Emily Floyd's This place will always be open, the inaugural Ian Potter Sculpture Commission at MUMA, opens Saturday 6 October, 2012.
Winding an unorthodox itinerary through the sculpture court at MUMA, This place will always be open, 2012 is a text-based sculptural work fabricated from painted and powder-coated steel. With a font designed by the artist, it derives its logic from modernist typography, albeit in a highly abstracted form. Almost – but not quite – pushed to the point of illegibil- ity (attesting to our distance from, and yet ongoing influence of the textual reference), Floyd's high-key polychrome letters present a declarative, emblematic slogan, whilst being open from behind to reveal the constructivist manufacture and aesthetics of the work. The letters themselves serve as a marker of place, and vari- ously operate as a form of civic discourse, public furniture, or library stack, creating a place where students and visitors can sit, read and enjoy the landscaped area of the sculpture court, while also reflecting upon a specific history and poten- tial invoked in what is an apparently simple sentence. Emily Floyd's work is the first in an annual series of com- missioned sculptural and/or architectural works, developed to establish new opportunities for artists, and new models of practice, thinking and research into public sculpture and architectural practice. Details of the project are available here. |
4 Oct 2012
The first annual commission for the Ian Potter Sculpture Court will see a major new public work by Emily Floyd explore the role and legacy of the university campus (and museum) as a site of political potential. Drawing its title and conceptual framework from the experimental student struggles at Monash University during the 1960s and '70s, and incorporating a series of activities and publications instigated by Floyd, This Place Will Always Be Open serves as a space for social encounter - reinvoking a utopian spirit that is open, inclusive, free, provisional and generative.

Hey guys. This is my '90 Nissan Primera P10.
I'm currently putting a TE kit onto it. It's been kinda hard trying to find TE bumpers for the P10's now. And I've only started recently so not much work has been done. But heres what I've done so far:
The left side of the rear bumper. I've bogged it, sanded it. But I can't paint yet as I have to finished sanding this side:
Just have to finish sanding this side during the week - should be ready for paint this weekend. I'm also missing a cap that goes over the hole by the corner - it's for a ring thats used for towing.
These are the skirts. I've bogged them and I'm sanding them later in the week after I've finished the rear bumper.
All I'm missing now is a front!! I'm going to convert it with a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R turbo engine and change it to a manual!!
Tell me how I'm doing - Constructive criticism welcome!
Also if anyone could tell me how to get the side skirts on without the clips? That'll be really helpful!
Heya guys.
Just here for a quick update...
I've just finished sanding the bog on the bumper. I'm going to sand the black strip off tonight and hopefully have the grey primer on tomorrow. Thanks for the tips - much appreciated.
Will post more updates as they come!!
Back again!!
Just finished the grey primer on the bumper ^^
This weekend I'm painting the back bumper the pearl blue!! To pass the time of this week I am going to finish the side skirts.
Thanks for the tips (:

The life of a perch jerker
We go through a process, we who prowl the hills and hollers and explore the waters, hunting and fishing our way through life. We grow and metamorph not unlike a butterfly. Trophies and limits mean little to us. We have changed. Our step has slowed, our hearing going, our sight dimmed and our desires softened.

Adults Who Influence Our Kids by Beth K. Vogt
Here's the good news, mom: When it comes to your kids, it's not all about you. Yes, you are an important influence in your child's life. Probably the first influence. Most likely one of the most vital influences. But you're not the "It" Girl. And that's a good thing. I purposefully prayed for other adults to come alongside my children. To befriend them. And I was thankful when God brought amazing mentors into each of my children's lives. My son, Josh, often hung out after school in his Bible teacher's classroom — just to talk. Looking back, Josh said his wrestling coach also influenced him greatly. My daughter, Katie Beth, babysat for a young mom and became close friends with her. I used to joke that if Katie Beth disappeared in the middle of the night, I would know this other mom had kidnapped her. Not for babysitting services — but because she loved my daughter. This mom-friend was one of her bridesmaids when Katie Beth got married — and her husband performed the ceremony! My other daughter, Amy, was influenced by a myriad of adults: coaches, her band teacher, short-term missions team leaders. Each experience taught her practical life skills and shaped who she is today. My youngest daughter, Christa, was born 12 ½ years after her closest sibling. Now that she's 10 years old, her older brother and sisters often act as her mentors. They share their hard-earned perspective on life — and yes, on mom and dad — with their little sister. I welcome their influence. When Christa struggled with the death of our close friends' 13-year-old son, she asked her brother and sisters a lot of questions. They listened, wept with her and prayed with her. As moms, we want our children to develop strong, faith-centered character. Let's not think we're the only one responsible to make that happen. How can you nurture mentors in your child's life? Pray. Ask God to bring people into your child's life who understand her and see her strengths and weaknesses. Observe. Watch for adults who "click" with your child. A natural rapport is a must for mentoring to flourish. Welcome. You want others to invest in your child — so step back and let relationships develop. If you're always lurking, you're in the way. Guard. Not all influences are beneficial. Encourage healthy relationships that support your family's values. Respect. As your child gets older, especially in the teen years, he may feel more comfortable talking with his mentor than he does with you. That's OK. Be thankful he has someone trustworthy to go to if he's struggling. Maintain. Let your child know he is always a priority to you. Don't disappear because he has other adults who are advising him. Beth K. Vogt is the author of Baby Changes Everything: Embracing and Preparing for Motherhood after 35. Contact her at email@example.com or twitter.com/bethvogt.

The Fortress gardens were laid on three clearly differentiated terraces with the following design: on the top terrace, two large pools collect water from the mountains and channel it to the lower terrace, accessed via a large flight of steps. This terrace displays three large ponds arranged in a line, one after the other, and flanked by different colours of plants and cypress hedges. On the side of the terrace closest to the old wall, boxwood planted in a grid pattern provides the framework for a series of rose gardens. These are adorned by various statues whose solemnity rivals the shafts of the pruned cypresses. Two of the statues are of Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic Monarchs, as it was here that they granted an audience to Christopher Columbus to hear about his project for a new route to the Indies. The middle terrace remains to be seen. It is situated at the southern end, near the two large pools on the top terrace. This garden also has a grid design with boxwood hedges, citrus trees and a fountain in the centre.

Third-person shooters are similar to first-person games except that in them, you are able to see the protagonist in entirety performing the actions that you engineer. Alan Wake is a third-person psychological horror game. The game has been developed by Remedy Entertainment and has been published by Nordic Games. The game has been designed for the PC and also for the Xbox. Alan Wake 1.06 is the version released for the PC with Sam Lake and Mikko Rautalahti as its writers.
The game takes place in a fictional town near Washington called Bright Falls where bestselling thriller writer Alan Wake encounters a mysterious disappearance involving his wife. He finds that his wife has disappeared when on vacation to Bright Falls and also finds that whatever he wrote about in his latest book, is coming true. He finds it odd that he has no memory of writing the book from which all the events seem to come alive. Alan Wake is paced exactly like a thriller series on television. Every episode in the game and its story has twists in its plot and possible cliffhangers. Two special episodes in the game are available as DLCs which are The Signal and The Writer.
The game was under production for over five years, which in the gaming industry is a really long time. The ingenuous narrative of the game has had many positive reviews from critics all over for keeping the player fully engaged in gameplay. The main story revolves around a mysterious darkness that has taken over the residents of Bright Falls and turned them into monsters known simply as the Taken.
These enemies have a shield of darkness around them that acts as a protective armor. For them to take any amount of damage, the darkness infused shields have to first be burned away. The game environment provides many places where torches and fresh batteries for those torches are available. The player is also actively encouraged to use environmental light sources to keep the darkness away.
When standing under streetlights the player is impervious to attacks as the Taken cannot enter well lit areas of the game. This gives you the opportunity to regenerate health at a faster pace. Another major aspect of the game, connected to his amnesia about ever writing a novel called Departure is finding the manuscripts of the book scattered about the areas of Bright Falls. Alan Wake reads the events and plot twists in the book and is unable to remember writing it, even though he is aware that it is his own work that he holds in his hands. The Special Edition PC game Alan Wake received a PEGI rating of 16 for mild violence.

Before you start blaming Steam...its an excellent service firstly.
To install from DVD you have to run the Setup file from you DVD 1.
Put DVD in your drive & run autorun.exe. If you already have steam installed it must be closed.
You do not log into Steam & enter keycode directly...the game will install first on your drive through DVD...then Steam will launch (dvd will install it if its not present on your PC)..you enter the keycode & Steam will verify your game files which got installed from DVD (takes 2-3 minutes)
Then Steam will patch the game automatically if there are any patches.
You can't be serious if you say you downloaded 7GB thats your fault...a patch is maximum 100MB-2GB.
I have 20+ retail games on my Steam & this is the procedure to follow.
If you don't know what you're doing don't post misleading reviews about Steam to prevent people from playing this excellent game.
Besides mostly all games require Steam type services these days...EA has Origin...other games use Games for Windows Live & Rockstar use Social Club.
Yes Steam takes a while to start if you close it but its a minor hiccup..Steam is to PC what Xbox Live is to Xbox 360.
If you dislike Steam then there isn't any other option for you other than to consider console gaming.
Regarding the packaging box not present you shouldn't have used it & contacted flipkart if it arrived in bad condition...flipkart would always help you out on that.
Cheerio! ;)
I had played this game on xbox 360 in 2010 and decided to get again for pc as now i have decent gaming rig.
my specs are :
i3 2100 3.10 ghz
4 gb corsair 1333hz ram
sapphire hd radeon 7850 2gb ddr5.
i can play this game on ultra max settings and it runs smoothly
i get around 50 to 60 frames as per fraps application in game @ 1080p and cutscenes are 60 fps 720p
the graphics are quite good , if you own a gaming pc and have not played this game then get it for sure.
if u have xbox and have played on xbox and have gaming pc i say still get it.
i got this from flipkart @damn cheap 699
it came with 2 disc one with game and dlc and one with audio cd.
beware it has steam activation and u have to download 7.5 gb update to play it, u cant play without steam.
overall must buy @price.
The PC version of the famous Alan wake by Microsoft Studios bring something new and a bit different.
The presentation of the game itself should be the selling point. Every chapter is presented as a new episode and every episode ends with a mind bending twist or revelation.
I was disappointed that it only had 5 chapters, but that does not mean that it's a short game. Every chapter (other than the first one) takes more than 90 minutes to complete, atleast it did for me because of my lame skills.
The story is very engaging and the concept of hurting the dark ones in light is something I loved. Its an unforgiving game and there are number of times where you cannot kill every enemy. This is in Normal difficulty and I would not like to imagine what it will be in Nightmare difficulty.
So all in all, if you love games or just want something to kill some time, this is a must buy. I have already pre-ordered american nightmare because I would like to know how the story unfolds.
This game is really good. I thought it might be like Resident Evil or Silent Hill but actually this game is really different and enjoyable. Story is very interesting, game is really tricky, graphics is eye catchy and background music really gets you into the game.
My gaming rig is AMD Athlon X3[445] 3.1Ghz, 8Gb DDr3, Nvidia 550ti Graphics, Asus Xonar Audio with 750Gb Hdd. I get a very decent framerate and I'm sure people who are using anything below this specification can still enjoy the game. I don't think this game has that high system requirement.
Overall I'll rate this game as follows
Gameplay : 7/10
Graphics : 8/10
Story : 8/10
This was my first game on the xbox,technically my friend's xbox :P but yea basically i borrowed his xbox for this game and halo:reach,but the story and the scary environment in this game makes it so awesome,i had to get it on pc just to re-live the awesomeness.
And its based on the Novel by Rick Burroughs,trust me it has a fantastic story!!
The soundtrack also in this game by Poets Of the Fall was very well done,totally awesome soundtrack!!
If you haven't tried it out on the xbox and if you love a good action/horror game with a absolutely fantastic story,you definitely must give this a try!!!!
Also Flipkart you're awesome as usual,got the game very quickly.

Jeff Schudel: Phil Dawson has earned right to play for a winner
Free agency isn't always about the money. Sometimes it's about the chance for a player to work where he chooses and get the recognition he deserves.
Free agency in the NFL begins at 4 p.m. Tuesday. If anybody has earned the right to leave one team and play for another, it is Browns kicker Phil Dawson.
Dawson toiled for the Browns during 14 seasons and has one playoff appearance and one Pro Bowl to show for being the ninth-most accurate kicker in NFL history (84 percent). He has made 305 career field goals in 363 attempts. His accuracy rate is the highest among all 25 kickers who have made 300 field goals.
I could be totally wrong. I hope I am and that at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon the Browns announce Dawson has signed a four-year contract to continue taming the winds at First Energy Stadium, but expecting him to willingly go through another rebuilding process isn't fair to Dawson.
Fans professing to have great respect for Dawson should wish him well. I suspect before the end of next week he will be introduced in San Francisco as the new kicker for the 49ers. The 49ers have released David Akers. Agents can begin negotiations with new teams on Saturday — three days before the market opens.
Dawson could have left the Browns two years ago if not for them making him their franchise player. They tied him up the same way last year.
Dawson tried to get a contract extension beyond 2010 for years before former general manager Tom Heckert slapped him with the franchise tag in 2011, but the Browns did not listen. This is just more collateral damage to a franchise that keeps switching coaches and general managers because it doesn't win.
When an owner feels compelled to hire a new general manager and coach every other year, signing a kicker to a contract extension is a low priority — even a kicker as successful as Dawson.
There is nothing to keep Dawson in Cleveland other than a remarkably loyal fan base and the pursuit of Lou Groza's all-time Browns NFL scoring record of 1,349 points — a number that doesn't include the 254 points Groza scored for the Browns in four years in the All-America Conference from 1946-49. Dawson (1,271) is only 78 points behind Groza's NFL Browns record, but he is too classy to pretend the points The Toe scored in the AAFC don't count.
The new Browns regime will learn quickly enough just how valuable Dawson is, especially in November and December when the field at First Energy Stadium is wet and soggy and the wind whips sideways as the ball sails through the air. Dawson has kicked 15 game-winning field goals in the fourth quarter or overtime for a team that has had two winning seasons since 1999. Continued...
Dawson made 29 of 31 field goal tries (.935) last year. That is remarkable by any standard, but consider this: He was the most accurate kicker in the entire AFC while playing in one of the most challenging stadiums to kick in the entire league. The only kicker with a higher success rate in the NFC was Kai Forbath, who missed only one of 18 attempts with the Redskins in 11 games.
Blair Walsh from the Vikings made 35 of 38 field goal tries. He was 10 of 10 from 50 yards and beyond. He kicked in a dome for half the season. Jason Hanson of the Detroit Lions, a 20-year veteran, was 32 of 36 on field goals. He was 16 of 19 from 40-49 yards and 2 of 3 from 50 and beyond and also had the advantage of playing in a dome.
Of course, no one can seriously question Dawson's ability, his work ethic, his willingness to give back to the community in which he plays or his loyalty to his teammates.
No one can question Dawson's loyalty to his family, either, and that comes first. The Dawsons sold the family home in the Cleveland area when they thought 2010 would be his final year here. Phil's wife and three children live in Austin, Texas, year-round.
Cleveland is closer than San Francisco to Austin by about 400 miles, but that probably won't be enough to sway Dawson.
In the final days of the 2012 season, Dawson said his dream is to kick off to start a Super Bowl with thousands of flashbulbs flashing in the stands to commemorate the moment. He has a much better chance of realizing that dream in San Francisco than Cleveland. He deserves the chance to show the world how good he is.
