NowGamer: Three great games, one great series. But what's been the best game in the series thus far?
Far Cry 3 for me, Far Cry 2 was plain boring and I really don't remember much about Far Cry 1
Farcry 2 was pretty much a money grubbing attempt. Same few missions over and over.
Not even for the 3. It's using more of the CryEngine 3 than the Dunia one even if it shares the name. At least, they kept the fire tech and maybe the vegetation tech.
Far Cry 2 was an awesome game. Its usually a bunch of Halo pansies that say that they didn't like the game because it was too hard. The multiplayer was a ton of fun too, but the only problem was that CoD: World at War and CoD 4 were dominating the multiplayer space, so FC2 went largely unnoticed.
Far Cry 3 is largely just the same few missions over and over too. It's just a lot more fun because the gameplay is a lot better, thanks to better AI, controls, vehicle mechanics and so forth.
I don't see how FC2 was a 'money grubbing attempt' at all, it clearly had high production values, it just shot itself in the foot in a few areas and fell short of expectations.
Far Cry 2 was good except for its bugs. It is great demo on how fr cry 3 turned out because if you look a lot of the ideas and mechanics that are in Fr Cry 2 are in far cry 3. One thing I would say Far Cry 3 really does limit how you take on objectives. In Far Cry 2 the boundary for each objective was vast. In Far Cry 3 it seems to have linerfied it at points and made objective boundaries quite small
The gunplay and driving in FC2 felt like shit. That pretty much condemned it for me regardless of anything else in the game.
If you're going to make a shooter with driving, at least get those 2 components right.
At the end of the day, "Dunia" or "CryEngine" are just names. But they've obviously based their new engine on the CryEngine 3, rather than working on their own Dunia. You can see it by the way it renders, hell even some of the moves are strangely close to those of Crysis 2 (sliding, cover system, etc.). And most of all, Ubisoft mentions the use of the CryEngine and the official site of the engine cites the game as one their showcases: http://mycryengine.com/inde...
They call it Dunia 2 because surely they've made some heavy modification to it and added their own sauce like the fire tech from Far Cry 2 and optimized it for a true open-world, but they must have started working on the CE3 not the first Dunia.
OMG! I hated FarCry 2, boring and repetitive and it was basically the definition for rinse and repeat! -kill some guys here at this base, then go to the next base kill some guys there...
FarCry 1 was a PC monster, if you had a good graphics card with good FPS the game was amazing... Lots of fun and awesome for it's time..
FarCry 3 I have no idea how it is because after FarCry 2 I could not touch another FarCry game, Just thinking about doing it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth... LoL
I just can't do it... -they burnt me too bad on Part 2..
I also HATED Farc Cry 3, was rather dubious about FC3, but its good, im really enjoying it
I understand where your coming from man. I played FarCry 2 and hated it. Malaria was probably the most annoying feature in a game ever and the game was extremely repetitive. There was no fast travel. Nuff said. lol
But I've been playing FarCry 3 and it's just been an epic adventure. Everything has been improved upon and is really a ton of fun. Multiplayer is fun, but needs a little bit of tweaking to get it perfect. Coop is a blast if you have friends that play it.
I'm not telling you that you NEED to play it, but ya know..sometime down the line, you might want to give this one a play. It's actually a really great game.
All games are repetitive.
FarCry 1 clear an area of enemies - next area -rinse and repeat.
What put me off Far Cry 2 was the way the NPCs spoke in super speed. I thought it was a bug and reinstalled the game but I later found out that, that was the way the game was!
I mean, how can you ship a game with such a glaring problem? Please tell me it wasn't just me who noticed it and that it wasn't actually just a bug.
omg LMAO! So true! Horrible voice acting in Far Cry 2, it's like they were all told to blow through their lines in one take and as fast as possible because Ubi' only rented the studio for an hour.
That plus my gun jamming up sometimes twice in a fight, malaria, infinite spawning roadblocks...ugh. Pretty but over rated. FC3 is better in every sense of the word.
I just assumed they were all hopped up on drugs...or coffee.
FarCry = CLASSIC game and it's gorgeous CryEngine still holds up well even today! Should be played by everyone as it truly is an adventure....that gets horrible hard near the end!
FarCry2 = Dunia Engine was very nice with some of the best vegetation and fire ever but the game felt more like Grand Theft FarCry 2: Gopher Missions than the outstanding story of FarCry
FarCry 3 = Looks Great, Michael Mando (Vaas Montenegro) voice acting is Oscar Worthy but i haven't played it fully so i cant really comment on it! Many people say GOTY!
Yea same here. I don't even remember what the storyline is.
Loved both three and two, never played one. I thought two was hard compared to three, and personally I think two took a lot more creative thinking that three, although on a fun level three is the more fun game, but just barely.
farcry 2 was a tech demo for farcry 3 IMO.
same few missions over and over.
FC3 is guilty of this as well,besides a few interesting story missions.
FC2 was boring and repetitive,FC3 is boring and repetitive.I actually prefer FC2's unlock and armory system.
You are right in a way. But FC3 is much less boring and repetitive than FC2. FC3 lasts alot longer before you get bored.
Far cry 3 fixed the bad things about Far cry 2 and then took out some of the good things. Overall FC3 is much much better.
Far cry 2 = Chore to play, but has some good things about it, look up the definition of Flawed Gem and Far cry 2 sits beside it.
Far cry 3 = Fun accessible game, very easy, good fun to **** around, good combat mechanics.
Far cry 2 - 6/10 it's just too boring too quick
Far cry 3 - 8/10 it gets boring eventually and there is no real challenge(maybe this is why it gets boring)
Far Cry 2 had the absolute best environment
Far Cry 1 was the best overall & Far Cry 2 was the best enviroment
Far Cry 1 was great, but you really can't ignore the improvements that Far Cry 3 has made.
haven't played 3 yet, but anyone who's played the PC version of 1 knows that very few open world FPSes can reach that level... 2 was so far down it was bad.... even if 3 is twice as good it's not as good as 1
True, but Far Cry 2 was actually more open worlded than the original Far Cry.
It gave the illusion of being open, but quite often you were actually following a patch, be it a very large one.
By todays standards Far Cry 1 doesn't hold up well. Unless you like the linear experience.
Farcry 3 for me, 2 was repetitive and annoying, 1 was good but them stupid looking monsters killed it for me!
that's wasn't Farcry 1 that was the console version... not the same thing
Far cry 1 had mutants. Look it up or play the game
Far cry 3 for the amount of detail that has gone into the world.
So much going on all the time, gunshots in the distance, animals hunting each other. I've spent as much time throwing grenades at turtles and saving pigs from dogs as I have doing missions =p
Its an interesting world to travel. Unlike Farcry 2, I'll never understand the hype for that game once the initial excitement of attacking a base at night was gone, it turned out to be a boring and repetitive world filled with boring and repetitive missions.
One of the greatest disappointments this gen after all that hype...
Vaas: 'Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?'
Jason: Far Cry 2?
FC3 by far the best one. IMO is one of the best games of the generation and the best FPS of this generation.
I guess I'm in the minority - I really liked Far Cry 2. Had it for both the PS3 and 360 because I like it so much and loved the user made maps etc.
I hated the stupid malaria burden and the instant respawn soldiers. That was annoying! Throwing molotovs into the grass in front of a group of soldiers is awesome!
Far Cry 1 was great due to it being the very first free roaming, sandbox shooter. Though 3 surpasses it in every possible way (won't even mention the second, cause, ya know... cancer!)
How many of you actually played the first game on PC? The console version is not the same... it's different though still very fun imo
I think that due to the blockbuster releases of Halo and Black Ops II, Far Cry 3 received less attention than it could've gotten.
Add Me on Xbox 360:
FarCry 2 absolutely sucked! On the other hand Farcry 3 is simply amazing its so much fun.
FarCry 1 was great, FarCry 2 sucked, FarCry 3 seems to be okay, but it really should have been named something else. They should have just started new franchise with last two games, while also continuing with story of FarCry 1.
Seems like a lot of FC2 bashing. I think in part, it is because normal was the worst difficulty. Easy was more simple fun with the ability to act reckless and carry a lot of ammo, yet hard and infamous forced you to play the game properly. Normal didn't really strike either cord and played like a generic fps with more driving.
Really, before anyway completely disregards FC2 (though it is getting old now, so you might as well) try it on infamous - you have to be a lot more cautious and planning and make sure you properly scout.
I loved pull off cruel tactics like instead of opting for the 1 hit kill .50 cal, taking the svd to wound the enemy in order to lure out more of them to try and save him. It's an old adage in some cultures that wounding an enemy is more harmful killing and I liked how FC2 showed that.
Granted the game had a lot of flaws, but it was a very unique FPS that actually required a lot of thought to play properly without having a complex tactics system.
id rather just play crysis, it did everything better and was the real far cry 2 to me. Funny how things have changed though, crysis 2 was good but not great, and far cry 3 is awesome.
I was a bit worried because I haven't played the FC2 campaign yet.
Thank N4G for the warning before hand about it could turn out.
It was unfortunate what happened with FC2, I saw a developer demo at an expo about 6 months before launch and it looked amazing. Basically their idea was to have an open, living world populated by people who actually reacted to your actions. So if you went into a village nobody would react negatively, but as soon as you tried stealing a car (for example) people would start shouting at you and any guys who were armed would open fire. Then they got hit by the racism scandal and had to refocus the game in a few months to keep to their launch schedule. Still had a great setting, but it clearly wasn't the originally intended product and should have been delayed longer to get it up to scratch.
far cry 1 was the best, but far cry 3 is awesome as well. Far cry 2, im trying to forget about that one.
Considering Far Cry 2 and 3 are just graphical updates on Far Cry 1... I'd say the latest (with the best graphics), Far Cry 3.
Far Cry 1: Amazing, beautiful, immersive experience for its time.
Far Cry 2: Great ideas, but fell flat on execution due to annoying features (respawning checkpoints, malaria, etc)
Far Cry 3: Almost a great game, but took too many steps back from FC1 to be considered amazing.
+Great visuals and open world
+Great first person immersion
+Lot's of variety
-Worse physics than FC1 (seriously WTF?)
-WAY too much handholding (why can't I move 20 feet outside of the "mission area" in an open world game???)
-The save system (worst implementation ever)
-Only one or two NPC types (this is just lazy as hell)
-The HUD (seriously, do I need giant flashing arrows, highlights, and text covering every square inch of the screen? I'm not 5 years old)
Overall, If the above issues were fixed, I would give FC3 a 10, but as is, I would rate it a notch below FC1 in terms of its competition at the time.
Far Cry was more fun but had bad controls
Far Cry 2 looked the best but was boring and annoying
Far Cry 3 is Assassins Creed and Red Dead but had the best controls
Its interesting how they hav upped the quality each time and by the third, they r in goty realm. Its almost better to do it this way, though u wont sell as much. Far cry 4 will probably sell the most copies because of 3's success. Anyway, i think of uncharted and mass effect. So many were disappointed with the 3rd installments, when the reason was that the 2nd ones were so good, both getting goty. I recently replayed ME series and uncharted. I must say, i liked the 3rd games the best in both cases. Though there are aspects about ME1 that i loved because i am an rpg fanatic, but thats another story.
Anyway, i think games r judged by their separation from the previous title. It becomes hard to love the next one, even if its better, because the jump in quality isnt as great. I think bioshock 2 was better than 1 but obviously the first stands out because it was so enthralling and new. I loved New Vegas too but most will only remember Fallout 3. So heres to far cry 3 for taking the natural progression and putting it all together. Good luck with 4, though u will have new hardware. That will help, though it may also make the expectatikns sky high.
Far cry 3 is by far the best one in the series
People that do not like Far Cry 3 should just go and play some Monopoly or Barbie or something . It is the most fun game this year by far.
Far cry 2 was the best in the story and africa
far cry 3 is ugly shit idiot character (protagonist) rich idiot guys...
only vaas was good.. citra is annoyin irritating bitch... hell even the whole stoty is zero irritating shit tatau this tatau that lol.. gameplay same as fc2 or fc1 repetitive side missions.. only played the story but that is a dissapointment... afterall fc2 is better...
Anyone who thinks Far Cry 3 comes anywhere near Far Cry 2 really doesn't underestand what makes games great. Far Cry 3 is boring and iterative. The games protagonist is just another trite white male superhero power fantasy. There is never any real sense of peril,just some whiny guy who just happens to be an unstoppable killer. You clear out areas one at a time and thats that. My brother was murdered and my friends are being held captive and sold into slavery or worse but if I can mark one more shark with my camera and shoot said shark with a sniper rifle safely from the shore I can get a bigger wallet which in itself is meaningless because the economy in this game is broken.
Far Cry 2. What a beautiful game. You play as a rugged mercenary who does know how to fire a gun and is combat savvy but still you find yourself in a truly oppresive situation. Malaria, gun jams, backstabbing collegues; this game drops you into its world and says try your best but you may fail.
FC2 is more mature game than FC3... the young gamers can't play FC2.
Lol Im skipping Far Cry 1&2 and getting 3! Is that okay? Dont think Im missing out....
I only got a couple hours into Far Cry 2 before it became extremely boring. Far Cry 3 didn't start to get a little boring until the 25 hour mark (it's still fun, just repetitive).
Up until now I thought this franchise was total garbage, 3 changed my mind though. Hopefully the next one has more variety in missions.
Far Cry 2 was one of those games you had to force yourself to finish. It was so much driving they called it Far Drive 2. The missions got really repetitive and the story wasn't that great. Now, Far Cry 3... that's a game you have to force yourself to stop playing because it's so damn fun!
Far Cry Instincts! I loved being able to do the map editor split screen.

Pseudopod 483: Jenny (A Fairytale)
by Michael Byrne.
"Jenny (A Fairytale)" has only been published on my own blog (Static Culture) and fewer people than I realised (when sent out to critique) are aware of the legend of 'Jenny Greenteeth' . I am unsure whether giving some intro into the legend will lessen the story or accentuate it but for reference 'Jenny Greenteeth' is a Lancashire legend of a river hag who would eat children. The below website offer a nice brief description: Fairyist: Jenny Greenteeth.
MICHAEL BYRNE a London based Writer/ Film Maker originally from Rochdale in Lancashire. He writes for his own blog, Static Culture and is currently seeking representation. He says he never truly sets out to write dark or subversive stories but for whatever reason they usually end up that way. His previous work, 'Gast', received wonderful reviews from readers of Scribble Magazine, coming second in their quarterly competition. 'Gast' can also be found at Static Culture. His film work people can be viewed at Cracked Films.

Preorder John C Foster's upcoming novel at DoNotSpeakHisName.com
In the past she had had many names, each one having evolved into legend and folklore, each a variation on a theme of children keeping away from the water's edge. For the most part the stories' graphic content seemed to work but there were always one or two younglings that would wander too far, out of bravado or curiosity, to the edge of their known world. Over the years she had noted how the bravery and stupidity of humans skated a fine line and that children seemed inherently prone to both attributes. Waltzing jovially into her watery embrace, unknowingly of course until the last moment. Never seeing her glide under the still waters without making a ripple. Black shark eyes absorbing every movement above the water until, in an explosion of sound she would berth, clasping her leathery reed-encumbered arms around her prey and pulling them effortlessly below. Families would search, siblings would scream, mothers would weep. So it was for centuries that the children of the upper world would become unwilling food for the preternatural. It was a gruesome system but a system none the less. Then the industrial revolution conquered the minds of man and development slowly began to leak its influence into the world. The pond became a functional device for a red keep of steam and smog, the inhabitants of the town growing in number and brood, encroaching ever closer to her domain. With five or six litters per homestead, it was expected that some could not return from their labour at the mill, their unwilling sacrifice keeping her belly full. These golden days were short lived however, a century of feasting slowing down to feeds twice or so a week. But her appetite was a patient one, being able to go weeks without food like a snake or a scorpion in torpor. Still they would come, alone or in cavorting pairs; the missing posters of yesterday littering the park with saturnine confetti that they failed to take heed of. So it was that times changed and thus she changed with them. The world adapted and she in turn adapted her hunt…

The National Roofing Legal Resource Center (NRLRC) held its annual seminar in September; topics included a staggering array of emerging problems facing the roofing contractor community. For starters, lightweight structural concrete roof decks, a proposed Occupational Safety and Health Administration silica regulation and complying with the Affordable Care Act. During the seminar, I was struck by two simultaneous thoughts.
First, seminar attendees, which is to say our members, are smarter than ever. The quality of the discussions and questions was remarkable and covered a wide range of subject matter.
Second, they're smarter because they have to be. Call it the theory of roofing evolution. Roofing contractors now must contend with an unbelievable volume of government regulation, understand a complicated world of insurance, be tuned into federal and state legislative initiatives, and be prepared to explain roof system design to architects and project scheduling to general contractors. Oh, and in their spare time, they have to know how to apply seven or eight completely different types of roof systems.
It is tempting at such moments to long for the good old days when four or five manufacturers of built-up roofing products ruled the industry and (as we like to remember it) our problems were few and far between. But as college football coach Bobby Bowden noted, the good old days weren't so good if you were sitting in a dentist's chair.

Georgia Billboard To Target Marco Rubio And Immigration Reform
A billboard taking aim at U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is expected to be installed next week in Georgia, said the head of a conservative group that is behind the effort.
The group is unhappy with the Florida lawmaker because of his central role in a bipartisan Senate bill that seeks to reform U.S. immigration laws by, among other things, tightening enforcement, expanding the guest worker program and providing undocumented immigrants a path to legal status.
It is his support for giving undocumented immigrants an opportunity to legalize – while continuing to live and work in the United States – that most upsets them.
"There's the betrayal factor," said D.A. King, who helped draft several of Georgia's anti-illegal immigration laws. "It's a mystery to us why he's still considered a conservative."
"In his race for the Senate, Rubio said that he would never support any amnesty," said King, head of the The Dustin Inman Society, described as a non-partisan coalition of citizens against illegal immigration. "If there was any real intention to secure the borders it would have been done after 1986, or after 2007 in preparation for what is happening now."
Rubio has come under attack from several fellow conservatives since he became part of the so-called "Gang of Eight," made up of four Republicans and four Democrats in the Senate who worked on a comprehensive immigration bill.
Last month, for example, a Tea Party group in Rubio's Florida district held a protest against him, and several of his Republican colleagues in Congress singled him out when criticizing the Senate measure.
Rubio has hit back, sending emails nearly every day shooting down what he says are myths and distortions about the immigration bill. In particular, he has taken apart the whole contention that a path to legal status is tantamount to amnesty.
Rubio has argued that amnesty would be to pardon the undocumented immigrants, but that the Senate bill requires those who seek legal status to pay fines, show that they've paid taxes, and wait more than 10 years before acquiring permanent legal status, commonly called "a green card."
Rubio has said that those who oppose providing a path to legal status are, in fact, supporting an "amnesty" by allowing the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants to continue living in the United States, under the radar.
On Wednesday, a conservative group called the American Action Network (AAN) announced the launch of a $300,000 television advertising campaign on Fox News Channel, featuring Rubio, to build support for the Senate bill and "calling on Congress to end 'de facto amnesty.'"
"Our broken immigration system is hurting our country and our economy," said American Action Network President Brian O. Walsh. "While it isn't perfect, this reform legislation is tough and fair, and a lot conservatives will embrace it when they hear the facts."
King, who erected a billboard recently taking aim at U.S. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican that also is one of the "Gang of Eight," insists that it would be another amnesty.
"Most people aren't going to play the silly game of defining a word," he said. "It's a legalization program. Maybe we need a redefinition of the word conservative, it's more than just not being a Democrat."
Last week, a bipartisan House group introduced bills on agricultural reform and E-Verify, a system for employers to check the eligibility of prospective workers. Proponents of the House's approach to immigration have said separate bills addressing various aspects of immigration stand a better chance of approval than a single, massive bill.

Trim Masters and Cardinal Freight Carriers Enter ADR Partnerships with Commission
WASHINGTON - Cari M. Dominguez, Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), today announced the signing of the latest National Universal Agreements to Mediate (NUAMs) with Trim Masters, Inc. and Cardinal Freight Carriers, Inc., bolstering the trend of such partnerships between EEOC and corporate America. The two mediation pacts mark the the 21st and 22nd such agreements signed between the Commission and major corporations to informally resolve workplace disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) prior to an agency investigation or potential litigation.
"The Commission welcomes the addition of these two major national employers to our mediation program," said EEOC Chair Dominguez. "I am very encouraged by the momentum that this program is gaining as we strive to resolve workplace disputes promptly and efficiently."
Under the terms of the NUAMs, all eligible charges of discrimination filed with the Commission naming Trim Masters, Inc. and Cardinal Freight Carriers, Inc. as the employer/respondent will be referred to the EEOC's mediation unit, as appropriate. The companies will designate corporate representatives to handle all inquiries and other logistical matters related to potential charges in order to expedite a prompt scheduling of the matter for EEOC mediation.
Trim Masters, Inc. is a supplier of interior components to the automobile industry with more than 3,000 employees in California, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. The company, which was incorporated in 1987, is headquartered in Harrodsburg, Ky. Larry Carter, Vice President for Human Resources of Trim Masters, Inc., said: "Trim Masters is very pleased with the EEOC's National Mediation Program and believes that it benefits the parties who participate. Although the need for mediation may not be frequent, we believe that signing the universal agreement makes a statement to our commitment to the process of problem resolution in employment issues and to resolve employment matters in a fair and expeditious way."
Cardinal Freight Carriers, Inc., a transportation company and subsidiary of Cardinal Logistics Management, Inc., operates fleets of trucks to haul goods from a customer's distribution center to its stores or to an end user. Headquartered in Concord, N.C., the company has approximately 1,000 employees and does business up and down the Eastern seaboard, the Southern coastal states, Florida, Texas, and California. Michael Kota, General Counsel of Cardinal Logistics Management, Inc., said: "We have used mediation to resolve a variety of legal disputes, including employment disputes, and we believe that the mediation process improves communications and serves parties well."
Expanding mediation is a key component of Chair Dominguez's Five-Point Plan to improve the EEOC's overall operational efficiency and effectiveness. In addition to the 22 National Universal Agreements to Mediate, EEOC district offices have entered into more than 400 local mediation agreements with employers at the state or regional levels within their respective jurisdictions.
Last month, the EEOC forged a mediation partnership with Boise, Idaho-based food and drug retailer Albertsons, Inc., which operates more than 2,300 stores in 31 states and has annual sales of approximately $36 billion. In August, the EEOC signed an NUAM with Vineland, N.J.-based Kimble Glass, Inc., which manufactures a variety of glass tubing and related glassware and employs approximately 1,250 people in the United States with operations in North Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, and New Jersey. The names of the other employers that have entered into NUAMs, most of which are Fortune 500 companies, are confidential at their request.
The topic of mediation will be the focus of the next public Commission Meeting on Tuesday morning, December 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at EEOC Headquarters, 1801 L Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C. During the meeting, the Commission will hear from a wide range of speakers including employer representatives, EEOC mediation staff, representatives of the private bar, and professionals in dispute resolution and human resources. EEOC will also issue a comprehensive report examining employer participation in its National Mediation Program.
The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which prohibits discrimination against individuals 40 years of age or older; sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; and the Rehabilitation Act's prohibitions against disability discrimination in the federal government. Further information about the Commission, including the National Mediation Program, is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Specific (Jewish) Perspective
On House Speaker Foley
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
Rep. Thomas Foley (D-Wash.),
who was elected speaker of the
U.S. House of Representa-
tives, is considered a good
friend of Israel and supporter
of issues of concern to the
Jewish community.
Foley was named by the
House to replace Rep. Jim
Wright (D-Texas), who
resigned as speaker after
being charged with ethics
The 60-year-old congress-
man from Spokane was major-
ity leader during the little
more than two years Wright
was speaker. He is highly
respected by both Democrats
and Republicans and is known
as a conciliator and consensus-
"We are pleased that he has
been elected as speaker of the
House," said Jess Hordes, dir-
ector of the Washington office
of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith.
"He has always been open to
the Jewish community. He's
been supportive of issues of
concern to us."
David Harris, Washington
representative of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, also
said that Foley was "a wel-
come choice".
"Basically the man is a
friend," Harris said. "He has
been there on many of the
issues of concern to the Ameri-
can Jewish community, includ-
ing Israel and Soviet Jewry."
Sammie Moshenberg, Wash-
ington representative of the
National Council of Jewish
Women, said Foley has been
"generally supportive of a lot
of our issues."
She expressed the hope that
he would move the House for-
ward on the many domestic
issues that need attention,
such as child care and help for

Jail Terms Commuted... Again
For West Bank Settlers
By CATHRINE GERSON
JERUSALEM (JTA) Three West Bank Jewish settlers
sentenced to life imprisonment in 1985 for fatally shooting four
Palestinians and committing other crimes, had their sentences
reduced to 10 years by President Chaim Herzog.
It was the third time Herzog exercised his powers of clemency
on behalf of the three. He drew angry criticism, especially from
leftist circles, who consider the move incompatible with justice
and with Herzog's own condemnation of the recent vigilante
tactics of some settlers.
Herzog said he acted on the recommendations of Justice
Minister Dan Meridor of Likud and other legal experts.
But he made his final decision only after he was convinced that
the three prisoners showed genuine remorse, presidential
spokesman Giora Pordes said.
The three, Menachem Livni, Uzi Sharbaf and Shaul Nir, are
the last of more than 20 convicted members of a Jewish terrorist
underground group still in jail.
Herzog initially reduced their sentences from life to 24 years
and more recently to 15 years. The latest reduction makes it
possible that the prisoners, now in their sixth year behind bars,
could go free in two years, if a third of their new sentence is cut
for good behavior.
Critics were quick to ask how Herzog can chastise settlers who
take the law into their own hands now and act so generously
toward those who did the same five years ago. Left-wing parties
were especially bitter. They called Herzog s clemency 'a great
mistake' and recalled that only a year ago, the president was
quoted as saying that the phenomenon of Jewish terrorism must
be eradicated.

General To be
Relieved of Post
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV, (JTA) The
Israel Defense Force general
in command of the West Bank
has asked to be relieved of his
post, effective this summer.
Maj. Gen. Amram Mitzna,
commander of the central sec-
tor, made the request to
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin. Rabin has not yet
responded, but is expected to
accede to the request.
Mitzna has been responsible
for dealing with the Palestin-
ian uprising in the West Bank
since it began nearly 18
months ago. Lately he has
been confronted by the anti-
Arab vigilante tactics of milit-
ant Jewish settlers in the terri-
tory, who have harassed IDF
personnel trying to restrain
The general told Rabin and
IDF Chief of Staff Dan Shom-
ron that he would like to take
off a year for study and travel
Mitzna, a soft-spoken man
who is widely respected inside
and outside Israel, reportedly
turned down an offer from
Rabin and Shomron of a senior
post on the IDF general staff.

B'nai' B'rith Welcomes UN Report
B'nai B'rith has welcomed
the United Nations Environ-
mental Programme (UNEP)
report commending Israel for
the improvements in the qual-
ity of life in the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip since those
areas came under Israeli con-
trol in 1967. The report partic-
ularly noted that infant mor-
tality declined and average life
spans increased over the past
22 years.
Seymour D. Reich, interna-
tional president of
B'nai B'rith, said, "It is espe-
cially gratifying that the
I'nited Nations, so often the
source of politically motivated
and false anti-Israeli calumny,
has finally officially recognized
what has so long been well
known to all who would not
refuse to see the truth: that
Israel's administration of
Judea, Samaria and Gaza has
been of significant material
benefit to all inhabitants. "
Reich, who is also chairman
of the Conference of Presi-
dents of Major American Jew-
ish Organizations, says the
report and the recent World
Health Organization's rejec-
tion of the PLO, points to "an
improved and more balanced
atmosphere in the UN which
may eventually prove benefi-
cial to the peace process."
The report, Reich says,
should also put to rest charges
of racism that have been lev-
eled against the Zionist char-
acter of Israel.

Senate Approves
Refugee Funds
By HOWARD ROSENBERG
The Senate has approved a $75
million appropriation to help
bring an additional 18,500
Soviet refugees to the United
States this fiscal year.
The sum of money, adopted
by the full Senate as part of a
package approved by the Sen-
ate Appropriations Commit-
tee, is identical to a supple-
mental appropriation
approved by the House of Rep-
The $75 million is expected
to clear the next stage of the
legislative process, a House-
Senate conference committee,
assuming the Senate approves
the 1989 fiscal year emergency
supplemental appropriations
bill, which it may do this week.
The House already has
approved the bill.
Most of the $75 million
would go to the Hebrew Immi-
grant Aid Society and the
American Jewish Joint Distri-
bution Committee for process-
ing, transportation and initial
resettlement of Soviet Jews.
The additional funds were
needed because Soviet Jewish
emigration in the 1989 fiscal
year, which began Oct. 1 has
greatly exceeded administra-
tion projections.
Last year, the administra-
tion set the 1989 fiscal year
Soviet refugee quota around
20,000 a figure Congress
accepted. Congress then
appropriated enough funds to
cover the costs of processing
just that number.
Jewish groups have been
battling all year to win addi-
tional funds for Soviet refu-
gees, as well as for an increase
in the refugee quota.
The increase in the refugee
quota could come within a few
days, a Justice Department
official said. The official said
that all of the key lawmakers
have accepted an administra-
tion plan to raise the quota for
the Soviet Union by 18,500
Attorney General Dick
Thornburgh. in a meeting with
key lawmakers on the House
and Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittees on immigration, had
proposed such an increase in a
'formal consultation.'
The Refugee Act of 1980
requires the administration to
consult with Congress before
it adjusts the refugee quota.
Thornburgh and the State
Department's coordinator of
refugee affairs must now cer-
tify that there is no congres-
sional opposition to such a
The increase would bring the
1989 fiscal year refugee quota
for the Soviet Union to 43,500.
Close to 40,000 of the slots are
expected to be used by Soviet
Jews, which will be enough to
meet the expected flow
through the end of the fiscal

The Bottom Line
In the ongoing reportage of and editorial
comment about the intifada, or Arab uprising
in Israel's administered territories, the focus
has been on the political, philosophical and
moral implications.
Often lost in this coverage is the day-to-day
impact of a nation at war just miles from its
own borders. Whether this war of attrition is a
declared civil war or not is wholly immaterial.
The fact is that the state of bread-and-butter
issues is a continuing reminder of the unrest.
In a report this week, dateline Tel Aviv, the
effects are clear: exports declined 4.2 percent;
investments from within the country and
without are down; business productivity
declined iust slightly relative to effects other-
wise in the economy.
Most significantly, tourism entitled an
"invisible export" faced a loss in 1988 of
$280 million. The total in export loss, $650
million, is attributable, if not in toto, then in
part, to the intifada.
But tourism to Israel has greater impact
than to its economic bottom line.
A "double-barreled" export, tourism brings
in much-needed dollars, offers seasonal morale
boosters and demonstrates, in a very concrete
way, American support for the Jewish state
when it is suffering in the focused lens of the
general media.
A trip to Israel indeed offers the economic
investment. But, it offers, as well, a better
understanding of the realities of life in the
Middle East. Subsequent trips are then able to
proffer a better understanding of the political,
societal and religious demands in a country
Surely, potential tourists hold in their hands
discretionary dollars that can further impact
negatively or positively on the State,
depending upon whether they are spent there
or not.
Words and Meanings
If talk were ever cheap and meaningless, it
was both in 1979 when CBS correspondent
Mike Wallace held an exclusive interview with
the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
The Imam was challenged by Wallace when
the reporter repeated an insult previously
issued by then-President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt. Sadat had called Khomeini and his
followers a "disgrace to Islam" and said that
true Moslems are not terrorists.
Khomeini replied, through a translator, that
"this is an insult."
Insult or no, the ayatollah's followers never
in his lifetime lived down either Sadat's
estimation or Wallace's charge.
As the Moslem world observes its 40-day
mourning period for the ayatollah, it is worth
noting that words don't create their own
reality despite the passion in which they are

world readies itself to believe and further

Another Perspective on Soviet Jewry
I would like to agree with my
colleague Rabbi Barry Konov-
itch that American Jewish phi-
lanthropic efforts to help
Soviet Jews leave the Soviet
Union be conditional on their
leaving for Israel. After all,
the increased manpower would
do a great deal to help the
State of Israel during another
critical time in its existence. I
would like to agree ... but I
I believe that Soviet Jews
should have the freedom to
choose their new home. We
should do all in our power to
convince them that Israel is
the best choice they can make.
We should support the efforts
of the Israel Bond organization
and its program to raise the
funds needed to create better
homes and jobs in Israel for
new olim. I know that within
our community at least five
synagogues have already
agreed to purchase bonds for a
minimum of $250,000 in order
to support this effort. (The five
congregations are Adath
Yeshurun, Temple Sinai of
North Dade, Beth Sholom of
Miami Beach, Beth David of
Miami and Bet Breira of
Miami.) We must also support
the Greater Miami Jewish Fed-
eration's "Passage to Free-
dom" emergency campaign!
I also feel it is imperative
that we educate the Russian
Jews as to what Israel is all
about. The Soviet Union has
conducted a vicious campaign
of vilification against Israel for
many years, nay, decades. I

Leningrad several years ago

they exclaimed. I, also,
remember purchasing several
posters in a Moscow store
depicting Israeli soldiers
dressed like stormtroopers
trampling Arab victims to
death. All this was only part of
the ongoing slanderous effort
against Israel. This must be
counteracted by as much infor-
mation as we can supply them.
It is important to note that
Soviet prisoners of conscience
who have made aliyah such as
Natan Sharansky and Yosef
Mendelevitch also feel that we
should help the Soviet Jews to
get out, no matter what their
destination. These men recog-
Rabbi Simcha Freedman
nize that while Gorbachev is
riding high, now, there is no
guarantee that he, or the polic-
ies of glasnost and perestroika
will last indefinitely. We must
take advantage of "the win-
dow of opportunity" which has
opened and we must act
quickly before it may be
slammed shut even as it has
been in the past.
Anti-Semitism is rife in the
USSR. The situation there has
changed from a policy where it
was officially condemned by
Soviet law, (although it was
practiced by the government)
to one where increased free-
dom of expression has allowed
for more open displays of anti-
Jewish behavior. Soviet Jews
want out... and we must help
them. Who knows how many
thousands would unfortun-
ately decide to stay in the
USSR rather than come to
Israel, and, then, after a policy
change would find that they
could not get out at all!
The Torah tells us (Leviticus
25:35) "And if thy brother be
waxen poor and his means fail
with thee; then thou shalt
uphold him, that thy brother
may live with thee." The over-
riding concern here is the life
of the fellow Jew. The Torah
does not imply that we aid our
poor brother only if he com-
plies with what we think is
best for him. There are no
strings attached. So, too, in
this situation must we do like-
wise for our Soviet brothers
and sisters.
One final point. Rabbi Kon-
ovitch correctly points out that
the future for Jews in the
USSR is bleak. He then argues
that bringing the Soviet Jews
to America would accomplish
the same assimilation as leav-
ing them in the USSR. He says
"Only in Israel will the Rus-
sian Jews become Jewish.
With the exception of some
American day schools and
yeshiva programs, Russian
Jewish children in America are

(Woe to us!) It is our duty to

ROME (JTA) Italian resi-
dents of Ladispoli are calling
for a limit on the number of
Soviet Jews and other foreign
refugees allowed temporary
housing in the seaside town.
So far about 3,000 signa-
tures, representing about one-
fifth of Ladispoli's Italian pop-
ulation, have been gathered on
a petition circulated by a group
called 'For Ladispoli.'
'We are an opinion move-
ment, without any political
manipulation,' said shop-
keeper Franco Pierotti, 42,
one of the promoters of the
initiative, in an interview with
the Rome newspaper / Messag-
gero. 'Our sole aim is to get a
regulation of the foreigners.
The collection of signatures is
just the first step.'
However, the deputy mayor
of the town, Crescenzo Pali-
otta, told the newspaper La
Republica that he was worried
that activists of the neo-fascist
party MSI were involved in
"For Ladispoli."
Thousands of foreign refu-
gees are housed in Ladispoli,
taking advantage of Italy's
open-door policy while they
await immigration visas for
elsewhere. The town has thou-
sands of small, empty apart-
ments ordinarily used as vaca-
tion homes or summer rentals.
Currently refugees make up
as much as one-third of the
town's population. By far the
largest group in Ladispoli are
the 4,000 Soviet Jews. But
there are also hundreds of
Poles, Egyptians, Afghans,
Iranians, Ethiopians, Tamils
and Soviet Pentecostals.
"For Ladispoli" wants to
limit the number of refugees to

Intifada Costly
to Economy
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV (JTA) The Palestinian uprising, now in its 18th
month, has had adverse effects on the Israeli economy, accord-
ing to the 1988 annual report released by the Bank of Israel, the
country's central bank.
A 4.2 percent decline of exports last year was among the most
serious, Michael Bruno, the bank's governor, told a news
He said the loss amounted to $650 million, of which $280
million represented tourist dollars that were not spent in Israel
because the intifada kept visitors away.
Tourism is an "invisible" export.
Furthermore, the climate of uncertainty arising from the
ongoing violence deterred investors and consumers both
foreign and Israeli from putting money into the economy,
Bruno said.
He described those losses as incalculable.
On the other hand, business productivity was down only 1.5
percent, less than expected.
But the uprising cut Israel's trade with the West Bank and
Gaza Strip by about 40 percent. Imports from the territories
were down by 48 percent.
ID Cards
By GIL SEDAN
Israel began a major effort to
bar Palestinians with criminal
or security offense records
from crossing the "Green
Special magnetized identity
cards were issued to about
1,000 Gaza Strip residents,
after thorough background
checks. The distribution of the
ID cards went smoothly.
The cards will be needed
hereafter by the some 75,000
Gazans who cross into Israel
proper each day, about 45,000
of them to work for Jewish
Israelis want to weed out
workers who will take jobs in
Israel and then join the Pales-
tinian uprising.
The new ID cards will be
issued to males over 16 years
of age and will be valid for six
to 12 months. Cards will not be
issued to those who have been
jailed or to those who have not
paid their taxes. Security
sources estimate that no more
than 2,000 Gazans will be den-
ied entry.
The system was instituted
after a series of criminal acts
by Palestinians inside Israel. A
passerby was knifed to death
in Tel Aviv recently by a resi-
dent of the Jabalya refugee
camp in Gaza.
The public demanded action
after the body of a soldier, Avi
Sasportas, was found last
month in the countryside near
the Gaza Strip. He is believed
to have been abducted and
murdered by Arabs from the
Gaza Strip.
Members of the Knesset
Interior Committee, mean-
while, argued forcefully Tues-
day against measures taken in
some localities to restrict the
movement of Arab laborers.
The strongest objections
were raised about a plan by the
mayor of Ariel, a Jewish set-
tlement in the West Bank, to
have Arabs wear badges with
the inscription "foreign wor-

Rabbi Israel Jacobs, the cur-

The Delray Beach syna-

time spiritual leader since
April 1, when Rabbi Pinchas
Aloof left for a pulpit in Mem-

Rabbi Jacobs, who is pres-
ently serving at Temple Beth

Call for Resolution
Congressman Edward Feig-
han (D-OH) has introduced a
resolution calling on the Vati-
can to extend the same full
diplomatic relations to Israel
as it maintains with over 100
other countries. Calling the
Vatican's justifications for its
present position "overly legal-
istic," Feighan points out that
such recognition would pro-
mote peace in the Middle East
by reinforcing the basic prem-
ise of Israel's right to exist.

that "the attempt to deny full

nize the halachic support given

Rokita Urges Hoosiers Overseas to Prepare Now for the Upcoming Election
Contact: Jim Gavin
Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita is urging Indiana residents living or stationed overseas to act now to ensure their votes will count in the upcoming General Election. His office has launched a collaboration with the Indiana National Guard to reach out to deployed troops.
"Anyone planning to be overseas on Election Day, whether it's for school, professional reasons or military service, should take action immediately to begin the process of casting a vote absentee," said Secretary Rokita. "Family members of Hoosiers serving in the military or living outside the United States for any reason should urge loved ones to register and request their ballot as soon as possible in order to receive and return a ballot in time."
Rokita's office recently engaged the Indiana National Guard to use the military-issued e-mail addresses of 3,100 deployed members to explain the steps needed to vote and send the necessary forms. Secretary Rokita is also preparing to visit with troops scheduled to be deployed from Camp Atterbury between now and the election.
"On Election Day, more than 4,600 Indiana soldiers and airmen will be deployed in our nation's war against terrorism," said Major General R. Martin Umbarger, Adjutant General of Indiana." The Indiana National Guard is pleased to work with the office of the Secretary of State to help these Hoosiers exercise their right to vote from wherever their service takes them."
There are two key steps for Indiana residents overseas to follow:
Register to vote – Voter registration status can be obtained online at http://www.indianavoters.com/. If a person is NOT registered, he or she can complete a Federal Post Card Application, 76 A, found at http://fvap.gov/resources/media/fpca.pdf. This form acts as both a voter registration and an absentee ballot request form.
Apply for an Absentee ballot – Anyone overseas who IS registered to vote can obtain a ballot to vote absentee by completing the appropriate form: the ABS-15 to vote absentee by mail or the ABS-12 to vote absentee by fax. These forms and additional information are found in the Military and Overseas Voters Guide, available on the Secretary of State Web page at www.in.gov/sos/elections.
The forms can be returned to the voter's county election office, or to the Secretary of State at this address:
Indiana Election Division
302 West Washington Street, Room E-204
Indianapolis, IN 46204
"The right of citizens to choose those who will represent them is among the most important civil liberties," said Secretary Rokita. "This right does not end at Indiana's state line or our nation's border. The men and women serving in our nation's military are performing patriotic acts each and every day. Casting a vote and participating in the election is another way for them to help guard our fundamental freedoms."

Georgia native Sunny Lane will make you just as cheerful as her name suggests. This professional ice skater turned porn star was featured in several magazines, starred in over 200 movies, and became one of the world's most popular porn stars. Her trim figure, voracious sexual appetite, and thirst for cum launched her career into the stratosphere. After first appearing on the scene in 2005, she was nominated for five AVN Awards in 2006 including female performer, best actress and best solo sex scene, and she won the AEBN VOD Award for Best Newcomer for 2006.
Sunny has shone in starring roles that required some acting, such as The Flying Pink Pig and Alice, both from Metro Media Entertainment/Cal Vista Pictures and director Erica McLean. From the early days of movies like Third Degree Films' Legal Teens through to newer releases such as Sweet Sinner's The Stripper 2, Sunny has always brightened up every scene.
In 2013, a clip of Sunny from Elegant Angel Productions' Big Wet Asses 13 appeared in the mainstream Hollywood comedy Don Jon, about a young guy who compulsively masturbates to porn in between hook-ups.

The Gopher Way of Lizzy Shay
Carlson School senior Lizzy Shay, a third-generation Gopher and former Minnesota Student Association president, has a zest for knowledge and school pride aplenty.
When Lizzy Shay was a freshman at the Carlson School, she didn't know what a Provost was or what Regents did.
"It bothered me that I didn't know," says the third-generation Gopher and Colorado native. "I'm the type of person that when I don't know what it is I have to resolve that lack of information."
Fast forward to today and it's safe to say that Shay, now a senior, has rectified that knowledge gap. After a year as president of the Minnesota Student Association (MSA)--the University's undergraduate student government--Shay got to know the Provost, the Regents, and President Kaler, and what they do, very well.
"What an incredible year. It's sad that it ended, but at the same time, I've heard college is really fun," she says with a laugh. "I mean, I had a lot of fun as MSA president, but I've heard its great not having quite so many responsibilities."
She took great pride in those presidential responsibilities. It's just in her honest, hard-working nature, compounded by the fact that she has an unwavering passion for the University of Minnesota.
She adds, "I have a friend at Auburn and his school's creed says 'I believe in Auburn and love it' and he thinks that's just silly. But I really feel that way about the U of M. I believe in the U of M and love it."
Working for Minnesota-the state
Beyond all of her student government responsibilities, Shay was and still is a student. And she's no slouch in that pursuit either.
This past school year, Shay was one of the few undergraduate students selected to participate on a team in the Carlson Consulting Enterprise, a program normally reserved for Carlson MBA students.
Shay, along with her team, worked for the Minnesota Trade Office in researching and providing recommendations on how the federal EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program could drive employment in the state. The team's final presentation in the Carlson School's 3M Auditorium drew a crowd including representatives from municipal, state, and federal government, including members of Congressman Keith Ellison's staff.
"During that project I often thought, wow, I'm really producing something that people really care about," she says. "I think one of the coolest aspects of Carlson is that there are these kinds of opportunities to take classes that are more meaningful that their grade."
From M&A to BSB
Shay is currently spending the summer as an intern at Lazard Middle Market in Minneapolis where she's working in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Once school starts again, she will just have a few short months until she completes her BSB degree in finance in December. The thought of the end of her college career, she says, is bitter sweet.
"This is a wonderful school. I'm excited for that story being told more and more, because I really believe it in my whole person that this is really one of the best schools out there," she says. "I just don't know yet how I'm going to express that next year."
She confesses that she thought of skipping spring graduation, that is until her grandpa- a University alum- took her aside to give her a bit information she might have innocently overlooked.
"My grandpa said, 'Lizzy, how many students know all four people that signed their degree? Like, probably...you.'"
The point was well taken. Shay will indeed walk in commencement next May, and her family of University of Minnesota alums and current students, which includes two of her grandparents, her mom, brother, aunt, three cousins, and cousin-in-law, will be there to congratulate her on a college career well done.

If you've been waiting to pick up a T-Mobile and AT&T compatible GSM Galaxy Nexus from Google Play, today's your lucky today. Along with putting the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q up for preorder, Google has knocked the price of the unlocked HSPA+ compatible Galaxy Nexus down to just $349.
We've certainly had our say on the Galaxy Nexus here at Android and Me. Some good, and some bad. But no matter how you slice it, $349 for one of the best Android devices money can buy is an absolute steal. That's incredibly close to what you'd pay for some Android devices on-contract. And for the one that's guaranteed to get Jelly Bean first, well, like I said, it's an absolute steal.
I've been very happy with my Galaxy Nexus. So what are you waiting for? Is the Galaxy S III still tempting you? Perhaps you still have you eye on the One X? Let us know in the comments below.
Update: If you've bought a Google Play Galaxy Nexus in the past 15 days, Google will refund you the difference after the price drop!

John Lim has posted an example of using the ADOdb software he's a developer on to clone the functionality of Zend's Zend_Db_DataObject.
The Zend Framework Preview edition is out. I had look this morning at Zend_Db_DataObject, which is an implementation of the Active Record pattern. After reading the tutorial, decided to implement something similar for ADOdb. After a couple of hours coding, I had an implementation that works with both PHP4 and PHP5, and provides a superset of the functionality described in the above link.
ActiveRecord, a method of database usage where the tables can "self-define" in your script (and you work with objects instead of messing with columns) is cropping up more and more, and John gives a code example of how it can be used inside ADOdb as well. He also mentions some of the advantages to using this kind of code/library, including the fact that it will work with both PHP4 and PHP5.

Quince puree is typically available at 11.0 -15.0°Brix, but please contact us to discuss specific variants.
Fruit purees are thick, smooth products which have been processed such that the insoluble fibrous parts are broken up so as to be able to fit through a fine sieve. In some cases, the puree is pasteurised to increase shelf life. Fruit purees also retain all of the juice and a large proportion of the fibrous matter naturally found in the raw fruit. Only excess insoluble fibres are removed.
Cobell typically supplies quince puree frozen or aseptically, however please contact us if you have any special requirements.
