When it comes to the holidays, music-themed video games are absolutely perfect for two things:
1) As a gift for the music fan in your life.
2) As entertainment for the family and friends you'll be spending inordinate amounts of time with in the coming months.
What follows is a look at some of the music-themed video games that not only make great presents and but can make all those holiday parties far more merry. Just add egg nog.
"Rock Band 3"
Console: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii
Price: $60 (game only) $130 (bundled with keyboard)
"Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" games may be growing a little long in the tooth, but "Rock Band 3" keeps things admirably fresh by adding keyboard parts into the mix, as well as the Pro Mustang Guitar (which has more than 100 buttons) and three additional cymbals for your drum set. Meanwhile, though much of the core gameplay remains the same, "Rock Band 3" features a revamped Career Mode and an enormous set list with 83 new songs form artists like The Flaming Lips and Elton John. An excellent portable version of the game is also available for the Nintendo DS. (Check out Todd Kenreck's full review here.)
"DJ Hero 2"
Console: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Price: $60 (game only), $100 (with turntable) $150 (bundled with two turntables and a microphone)
Here's a game for the aspiring mix master in your life. Like the groundbreaking first "DJ Hero," this sequel is played with a turntable peripheral that lets you mix and scratch along to songs, and score points as you go a la "Guitar Hero." But the game has been nicely improved in this second installment. With new multiplayer modes, you can pit your turntable skills against another with dueling turntables. Meanwhile, those who prefer to sing along rather than spin along can now do so using a mic. Tracks from the likes of Deadmau5, Chemical Brothers and Lady Gaga seal the deal. (Check out Todd Kenreck's full review here.)
"Dance Central"
Console: Xbox 360 (Kinect required)
Price: $50
While gamers may be growing a touch weary of the band-simulation games like "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero," when it comes to the music and rhythm genre, dance games are boomin'. Motion controls from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have made these games more popular, more interactive and more fun than ever. Among the many you'll find, "Dance Central" is hands-down my favorite. The game uses Microsoft's new Kinect sensor for the Xbox. Kinect tracks your body movements as you dance along with some great songs (from Basement Jaxx, Benny Benassi, The Commodores and others) letting you know whether you're awesome or awful. But even if you are awful, "Dance Central" offers lessons to help get you in the groove. Though you may look more than a little silly playing this game, you really will learn moves you can use on a real dance floor. And this is the perfect game to bust out at a party.
"Dance Dance Revolution"
Console: PlayStation 3, Wii
Price: $70 (bundled with floor mat)
Lets give props where props are due. "Dance Dance Revolution" — or "DDR" to those in the know — has been a pioneer in the dancing game genre. "DDR" was first introduced waaaay back in the good old days known as the 1990s. Back then, groups of kids would crowd around the "DDR" machines in the arcades to watch players compete their way through songs, stomping their feet to match arrows on the screen. The game moved from the arcade to home consoles eons back, but has been revamped this holiday to incorporate the new motion controls for the PS3 for the first time and to make more robust use of the Wii's motion controls. "DDR" comes packaged with a pressure-sensitive floor mat for traditional foot-stomping play but brings gamers' arms into the mix by offering modes that have players swing, sway and shake Sony's Move controller and the Wii's Remote and Nunchuk controllers. The Wii Balance Board also can be added into the mix. That's right, this new "DDR" manages to go old-school and new-school at the same time.
Console: Xbox 360 (Kinect required)
Price: $50
You can't get the newest "Dance Dance Revolution" for the Xbox 360, but you can get "Dance Masters." Both games are produced by Konami and so perhaps it's no wonder that "Dance Masters" feels like a sibling to the new "DDR." Here you select a song and then mimic the actions of the on-screen dancers. Kinect tracks your moves and, at the end, you're given a letter grade based on your performance. Unlike "Dance Central," "DanceMasters seems less focused on having you perform a dance completely all the way through and more focused on getting you to hit certain poses throughout each song. Personally, I prefer the "Dance Central" gameplay (and it's song selection), but "DanceMasters" is plenty of fun too.
"SingStar + Dance"
Console: PS3
Price: $40 (bundled with two microphones)
Sony's popular "SingStar" line of karaoke-style singing games just got a dose of rump shaking dance moves. Yes, belting it out along to your favorite pop hits remains the central point of this game. But with dance games being all the rage right now, Sony clearly thought it might be wise to add some boogie to the beat. Using Sony's Move motion controls, backup dancers can imitate the moves they see performed on screen. While the dancing is somewhat refreshing, it does feel a little tacked on. But with up to four players able to sing and dance together, this remains a great game to bust out during a holiday party ... especially if you drink enough spiked nog.
"Michael Jackson: The Experience"
Console: Wii (coming Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2011)
Price: $50
This isn't my favorite of the dance games out there. For starters, seeing the deceased star hoof about on screen is a little creepy. Also, the way the game animates Michael Jackson and his backup dancers — with these strangely blurred faces — simply adds to the oddness of it all. Meanwhile, there is no floor mat or camera to track your dance moves. Instead, you'll simply gesture with the Wii Remote as you try to follow the on-screen dancers. That said, the game is solid enough for people who want to bust signature Jackson moves to songs like "Thriller," "Billie Jean" and "The Girl is Mine." The forthcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game (which will use Kinect and Move) may very well blow this one away. But in the meantime, "Michael Jackson: The Experience" is sure to thrill the Gloved One's fans (especially since the Wii version comes packed with a bejeweled glove ... really).
Disney Sing It: Family Hits
Console: Wii, PS3
Price: $50 (bundled with microphone) $40 (game only)
Here's a game that's perfect for the youngest players in the household (or, really, Disney fans of any age). "Disney Sing It" asks players to sing along karaoke-style to tunes from Disney films old and new: "Cinderella," "Jungle Book," "Mary Poppins," "Toy Story" and "Cars" are all represented, among others. The game also provides vocal tips from Anika Noni Rose, the voice actress who starred in the "The Princess and the Frog."

1995 Geo Prizm LSI 1.8 from North America
Great gas saver, VERY RELIABLE!!!
Replaced front brakes at 155K.
The distributor went out at 160K.
The right inner CV joint was replaced at 182K.
Clutch is starting to slip (original clutch I believe).
Several interior plastics have broken such as the door handle, cup holder, air vents.
General Comments:
I bought this car from a friend and had no idea that I got such a gem! There is nothing super special about the car, several plastics in the interior have broken, but the Toyota engine and drive train are bulletproof.
I average 32 miles per gallon with a mixture of HWY and CITY driving. On a trip to the east coast last summer (3000 miles round trip) I averaged 40 mpg!! I have thought about buying a newer car, but I just can't justify getting rid of this car. IT IS A GREAT CAR!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

After strapping our graphics-card with the Setsugen 2, you need to connect the fan to any fan-connectors on your mainboard or via an adapter directly to your power-supply. We chose our mainboard. We turned the knob to the lowest possible setting and set the fan in the mainboard BIOS to 100%. That resulted in about 760rpm and the fan to be inaudible. AMD Radeon HD6870's stock cooler is almost inaudible in idle mode, but the Setsugen beat it there too. Of course at full speed the fan rotates at 2000rpm and is very audible, but still much more bearable than anything AMD has to offer.
40°C in idle is nothing to worry about but at nearly 1087rpm, the cooler is audible.
As you can see, even with the lowest setting the idle temperature is 3°C lower compared to the stock cooling.
For more balanced cooling we would recommend to set the fan to around 1000rpm, which is what we did. The fan is nearly inaudible and Setsugen 2 shaves off another 2°C.
With 2000rpm the temperatures go down about another 2°C but is quite loud. It's not unbearable like the stock-cooler at gaming, but we still considered it loud.
We found a 25mm fan from Scythe from the first Ninja cooler which was quieter than the newer models. You need cable straps to fix the fan on the cooler but this is minor annoyance. At 75% setting in the BIOS, the fan rotates with about 960rpm. It's also nearly inaudible but due to the bigger blades it can push more air. As you can see the temperatures are steady 34°C which is the same as the original fan at full speed.

How Walden Supports Me Every Step of the Way
I think I've enjoyed the faculty advising the most. (I wonder if everyone says that.) I get a little piece of something that's different from each one of them. They're really good listeners and they have great ideas.
The writing center—wow. It's great because they answer you right away. They make you feel like it's OK to ask any kind of question. They're very patient. They go out of their way to make you feel at ease; the library folks, too: "It's OK. This is going to be fine."
I'm really impressed that they really stay on top of it. I submitted questions to the writing center at different times, and once a week or so, I'd get an email. "Just checking in. You doing OK?" Wow, that's pretty impressive. You just get the feeling that they really care, and that they're there to help you.
I misplaced one of my DVDs for my lectures and you've got to keep moving on with coursework. You can't take too much time away from it. I called Walden and they said, "No problem. We'll overnight one." It came the very next day. I called them at noon; I got another copy of the DVD by three o'clock the next afternoon. Couldn't believe it—just couldn't believe it; so very, very helpful. I've had to use the technology support. They're available all the time. It takes a lot of the stress out.

The Big Green Bead Machine is Mobile!Posted by Matt on May 01 at 11:53 am
Over the last few months, we've been hearing a lot of people asking us to let them shop the Big Green Bead Machine on their iPads, smartphones, and computers that don't have Flash installed. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we did just that.
One of the goals of our new website was to make sure that everything looks and works on mobile devices just as well as it does on our desktops and laptops. Now that we've updated the Big Green Bead Machine, every product is shoppable, every video is viewable and every page is accessible from your smartphone or tablet.
How Lima's Big Green Bead Machine Works
For those of you who prefer to think of what we do as "magic" and don't really care exactly how this stuff really works, you can tune out now.
When we first developed the Big Green Bead Machine back in February of 2008, the iPhone was just over a year old and nobody had ever heard of an iPad. Back then, we had to use a technology called Flash to build interactive features on our site. Now that iPad and smartphone usage is on the rise, Flash is one of those things (along with mice) that is being left behind in what Steve Jobs called the "Post-PC Era."
Most of the new web browsers out today allow you to build things that are pretty and interactive without the use of Flash. In fact, even Adobe, who owns the Flash technology, has decided to move away from it in lieu of these new browser technologies.
Now that we've removed the Big Green Bead Machine's dependency on Flash, you can use it just about anywhere.
Over the last two years, look at how much mobile web browsing has grown! In March 2012, 13% of all visitors to our website were using a mobile device. Last March, it was 5% and March of 2010 was 1%. What do you think these numbers will look like in 3 years?
We hope you like this update to the Bead Machine. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment!

They're nerds and proud of it.
Tim Chen and Jake Gibson had an idea to help consumers filter the "overwhelming" amount of financial information on the internet. In 2009, the duo founded NerdWallet, an online tool to do just that.
Evaluating everything from credit cards to travel to college saving and more, Chen and Gibson hype their nerd status as one reason to trust their recommendations.
"We think of ourselves as the first .org recommendation site—we never sacrifice user welfare in the name of profits," the company claims on its website, in true fight-the-power/always-on-the-outside nerd fashion.
NerdWallet is now entering the advisor space with a new tool to help the public evaluate and hire financial professionals. Its Ask an Advisor platform, launched on Tuesday, enables advisors to "not only provide information to prospective clients, but to truly build trust."
"We want to help get people over the hump of selecting a financial advisor they trust, the basis of a successful client-advisor relationship," Shiyan Koh, vice president of personal financial management at NerdWallet, said in a statement. "The NerdWallet Ask an Advisor platform supplements the search process with a Q&A section where advisors can demonstrate their expertise on client-specific needs, as well as short videos that enable advisors to talk directly to prospective clients and showcase why people should work with them."
The Ask an Advisor platform enables advisors to build trust with prospective clients in all three dimensions:
- Knowledge–Answer a set of curated personal finance questions
- Ethics–Display latest regulatory standing on profile
- Empathy–Talk directly to prospective clients via short videos
Consumers can streamline their search for an appropriate financial advisor by using the NerdWallet Ask an Advisor platform to:
- Easily verify the credentials and areas of focus of potential advisors in one place
- "Meet" and evaluate advisors through videos of each discussing key topics
- Receive answers to their most pressing financial questions
- Quickly request free consultations from advisors on their short-list
"The platform was created in response to an overwhelming need for a tool that helps consumers easily connect with the advisors who can best understand their unique personal financial situations," Koh added. "As investors ourselves, we know the importance of trust in a client-advisor relationship. Building this trust, however, can often require hours of research and meetings. With this challenge in mind, we created a web-based resource to help people efficiently and confidently explore the world of financial advice."

This is another beautiful picture. The gradual blending of the foreground with the soft background is good but more softness (less contrast)might have made this look like the work of Michael Kenna.

Helping Children Cope with Disasters and Traumatic Events
Disasters like tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, or violent acts can be very scary for children. Children may relate what they see on the news to themselves and their lives. How children understand the event depends on their stage of development.
Young children often mix up real and pretend. They might not know quite what happened in the disaster, but they will know that people around them are upset or sad. When preschool children see the news on TV, they may not know that the news often shows the same event again and again. They may think the scary event keeps taking place.
When disaster or trauma directly affects children this age, they will need help adjusting to loss, change, and fears. Young children rely on parents, family and teachers to help them through tough times. They may regress and start to suck their thumb again, or wet the bed. Problems with eating, sleeping, and complaints of pain are also common. They may be scared of monsters, strangers or the dark. They may also act out or pull into themselves. Sometimes they want to talk about the event a lot and even add parts that did not really happen.
School age
School-age children can understand more about the disaster than preschool children can. They may want to hear about what happened from trusted adults and receive comfort. Children this age can feel personally affected by news stories.
When the disaster affects them directly, they may have many of the same responses as preschool children. They may also pull into themselves, refuse to go to school, do poorly in school, act out, or have trouble paying attention.
Teens aged 12-17 will understand the event much better than younger kids. They may want to share their feelings and thoughts about issues raised by the disaster.
When the disaster affects teens directly, they may react to the stress with aches and pains, pulling into themselves, acting out at school or home, seeking attention, or taking up risky behavior like using drugs or alcohol. Teens are concerned about what their friends think, and may act less engaged in the family. But they still count on their family's love and support being there when they need it. Older teens may want to take action and get involved in helping.
How to Help Your Child
- Children's questions
- Answer questions at a level the child can understand.
- Answer questions honestly, but don't dwell on details.
- Do not be afraid to admit that you cannot answer all of their questions.
- Don't give more information than your child asks for.
- Don't force discussion on children; instead, follow their lead.
- Be available. Provide ongoing chances for children to talk. They probably will have more questions as time goes on.
- Dealing with feelings
- Teach kids that all emotions are okay. A range of feelings is normal. Feelings can be very strong.
- Help your children voice their feelings, and pay attention to what they say.
- Allow children to discuss other fears and concerns about unrelated issues. This is a good chance to explore these issues also.
- Give lots of physical reassurance like hugs and cuddles.
- Keep your family routine.
- Be careful not to focus on blame for the disaster.
- Explain that the chance of a disaster happening to your child is very small.
- Handling TV news
- Watch the news with your children. That gives a chance to see your kids' reaction and make sure they understand well.
- Provide children with chances to talk about what they see on TV and to ask questions.
- Don't let kids watch the news footage over and over. It can make them more stressed and fearful, or dull their feelings about the event.
- Don't assume that just because you don't have the news on at home your child has not heard about or seen the news elsewhere. Make sure they are not keeping fearful feelings to themselves.
- Take care of yourself
- Be aware of your own feelings.
- If you are having trouble coping, find support.
- Find the positive and take action
- Help children find the good things within the tragedy. For example, when people help each other, take heroic action, and donate medicine and food to survivors.
- Show your children how the world organizes to work together. For example, through the International Red Cross or the United Nations Relief Fund.
- Teach children about the science used to predict, stop and deal with natural disasters.
- Make a family emergency plan, so your kids know your family is ready, and they know what to do.
- Help your child find ways to show their care for survivors of disaster, especially other children.
Risk Factors
Some kids are at higher risk for problems in coping with disaster. Children at risk may:
- Have reacted strongly in the past to disasters.
- Live in or have relatives in places that have had natural disasters.
- Have had stressful events in their family, like divorce, serious illness, or death of a family member or friend.
- Have an emotional or learning problem.
To help these kids, reassure them. Explain what your family and local and government officials are doing to make sure they are safe. Watch for signs that they are not coping well.
Warning Signs
Children react in different ways to disasters. Some react right away and others react weeks or months later. How they react depends on their age, risk factors and personality or temperament. Watch for warning signs like these:
- Staying very close to parents at all times ("clinging")
- Fear of being apart from parents
- Fears that do not go away
- Sleep problems like nightmares and bedwetting
- Refusal to go to school
- Acting out at home or school
- Being irritable or jumpy
- Trouble paying attention or concentrating
- Headaches, stomachaches or other physical problems
- Pulling into themselves, not doing normal activities
- Feeling very sad or low energy
- Thinking about the disaster all the time
If you are concerned about your child, ask their health care provider for advice and referral to someone who can help. Sometimes counseling for the whole family is a good idea. Parents need to know that they, too, can suffer from trauma after a disaster.

Filmmaker Oliver Stone has told The Canadian Press that international bankers "enabled" Hitler and the Nazis. "Adolf Hitler was a psychopath and a monster but rose to power thanks to big business leaders and other supporters who appreciated his vow to destroy communism and control workers, Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone said Monday," in Bangkok, Thailand, writes Michael Casey.
|Oliver Stone talks with students at an international school as part of a one-day visit to promote world peace in Bangkok, Thailand, on Monday, Jan. 25, 2010.
Stone left out a few important details. Not only did the banksters support and encourage Hitler and the Nazis, they also created from scratch the communism the German dictator vowed to destroy.
Without the support of the German industrial cartel I.G. Farben, Hitler would have remained an obscure historical footnote and millions of people would not have perished during the Second World War.
Farben, however, was not alone in its effort to empower Hitler and the Nazis. "Without the capital supplied by Wall Street, there would have been no I.G. Farben in the first place, and almost certainly no Adolf Hitler and World War II," writes Antony C. Sutton in Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. "German bankers on the Farben Aufsichsrat (the supervisory Board of Directors) in the late 1920s included the Hamburg banker Max Warburg, whose brother Paul Warburg was a founder of the Federal Reserve System in the United States." The Farben industrial cartel was created by three Wall Street houses: Dillon, Read & Co., Harris, Forbes & Co., and National City.
In the 1930s, William Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador in Germany, wrote Roosevelt from Berlin and explained the importance of the banksters and American industrialists in this "enabling" process. "The DuPonts have their allies in Germany that are aiding in the armament business. Their chief ally is the I.G. Farben Company," wrote Dodd.
In addition to the DuPonts, Standard Oil, International Harvester, J.P. Morgan-controlled General Motors Company and Ford facilitated Germany's rearmament after the First World War. International Telephone and Telegraph, General Electric, International Business Machines, Alcoa and Dow Chemical were also involved. Many of these companies continued their support of Hitler and the Nazis after the United States declared war on Germany.
"Treasury Secretary Morgenthau was deeply disturbed at the implications of this Wall Street monopoly of the fate of Nazi Germany and prepared a memorandum to present to President Roosevelt," writes Sutton.
Former president George W. Bush's grandfather, senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
"His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave laborers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy," The Guardian reported in September, 2004.
The Bush family connection to Hitler and the Nazis and the premeditated murder of millions of people, of course, did not reflect on the election of Bush primarily because the corporate media ignored the story.
"Throughout the Bush family's decades of public life, the American press has gone out of its way to overlook one historical fact — that through Union Banking Corporation (UBC), Prescott Bush, and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, along with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, financed Adolf Hitler before and during World War II," writes Toby Rogers.
|Professor Antony Sutton: Wall Street & the Rise of Hitler. Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Part 5.
Not only did the banksters and industrialists create the Frankenstein monster Hitler, they also funded and supported Soviet communism from its inception. In Wall Street and The Bolshevik Revolution, Antony Sutton details this relationship. Sutton draws on State Department files, personal papers of key Wall Street figures, biographies and conventional histories to make the point that bankers and so-called capitalists secretly and illegally supported the Bolsheviks while publicly supporting the anti-Bolshevik movement.
According to Sutton's research, Morgan banking executives in funneled illegal Bolshevik gold into the U.S., intervened to free Leon Trotsky (who advocated "total revolution"), and transported Lenin across Europe in a "sealed" train (with $5 to $6 million in gold to facilitate the revolution). German bankster Max Warburg was instrumental in financing Lenin and the Russian Revolution.
"Communism is not [and never was] a creation of the masses to overthrow the Banking establishment, but rather a creation of the Banking establishment to overthrow and enslave the people," explains Anthony J. Hilder. "The goal of international communism is not to destroy Western international debt capitalism. The goal of international communism is to enslave mankind at the behest of Western international debt capitalism," R.E. McMaster wrote in The Reaper.
[efoods]In Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development, Sutton used State Department documents to explain how the banksters continued to fund and build the Soviet Union after the revolution. "Sutton shows conclusively that virtually everything the Soviets possess has been acquired from the West. It is not much of an exaggeration to say that the U.S.S.R. was made in the U.S.A.," noted Gary Allen in 1971.
"In the Bolshevik Revolution we have some of the world's richest and most powerful men financing a movement which claims its very existence is based on the concept of stripping of their wealth men like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Schiffs, Warburgs, Morgans, Harrimans, and Milners. But obviously these men have no fear of international Communism. It is only logical to assume that if they financed it and do not fear it, it must be because they control it. Can there be any other explanation that makes sense? Remember that for over 150 years it has been standard operating procedure of the Rothschilds and their allies to control both sides of every conflict," Allen explained.
Both communism and fascism were created as profit generators and more importantly control mechanisms by the international bankster cartel.
It remains to be seen if Oliver Stone's 10-part documentary on the 20th century titled The Secret History of the United States will cover these pertinent and important details. Short of telling the whole story, Stone's documentary will be little better than the version of history offered by the establishment and the corporate media and publishers.

Karmin Release New Song 'Hello,' Discuss Next Single + Favorite Album Tracks
In order to get fans even more hyped for their debut release, Karmin are dropping yet another song off of their first studio LP, appropriately titled 'Hello.' The duo, comprised of singers/musicians/real life couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, premiered the title track on Idolator today, and PopCrush recently caught up with them to discuss the upbeat track and why it could be their next single.
Even though they're still promoting their latest hit 'Brokenhearted,' we asked if Karmin had a third single in mind yet, and 'Hello' is one of the songs that came up. "[Selecting a single] is one of those things where we try to leave some room for L.A. Reid to speak his mind, since he's so good at choosing," Heidemann said.
"The title track of the album is one that we really love. It's a great one to dance to, so that's a big reason we love that. It's fun to hear our songs like in the club and on the radio," she continued. "There's so many on the album that we could hear playing on the radio, like our ballad 'Coming Up Strong' is a great one [and there's a track] that Nick really loves — a throwback hip-hop song called 'I'm Just Sayin" that's a really great one."
In fact, Karmin are having such a hard time weeding through their new catalog of songs for a single that they may leave the choice up to listeners! "It's gonna be tough. Maybe it would be better to put the album out and let the fans choose the next single!" Heidemann said.
Noonan and Heidemann also dished on the 'Hello' tracks they like best, which are actually very different tunes. "I would say for me, either 'I Told You So' or 'I'm Just Sayin'," (the latter you can listen to that over at Rolling Stone) Noonan said of his favorite tidbits. "'I Told You So' — actually it's the second song we performed at 'SNL' — it's a little bit more rap heavy, kind of oppressive sonically. It's one of the most musically fun songs for me listen to. And then there's also 'I'm Just Sayin" which has almost like a throwback hip-hop vibe, which is really fun."
Heidemann continued, "My favorite is a song called 'Coming Up Strong.' It's actually the ballad on the album and Nick sings the lead on it. Yeah, it's my favorite. It's really kind of written for couples out there — I guess couples like us — who go through difficult situations together and end up stronger at the end of it."
So, which song will Karmin drop as their next single? We'll just have to wait and see! For now, check out the title track off of 'Hello' below, which is an effervescent, synth-heavy jam that Idolator notes as being sonically similar to Rihanna's 'What's My Name,' while still incorporating some of Heidemann's signature flow as she raps, "Racetrack, two legs / Hollywood, big break / suck it up, intake / let me tell you how it happened real quick."

This novel has good reviews and has been recommended as 'ambitious' and 'absorbing' but I must be an outlier on this, because I was disappointed. Even though I usually like sinking into family sagas, I found the drama bland and the characters two-dimensional. The author didn't make me care about the characters or their dilemmas at all.
The story line is roughly this: three sisters and a brother are single-parented by a mother who is not coping. For three years the mother is emotionally and physically absent, clinically depressed, and rarely emerges from her bedroom.This is referred to in the book as The Pause. The children are pretty much left to fend for themselves during this time, and these parts were actually some of the best scenes in the book with their trips to the pond and their antics with friends. But when The Pause becomes pivotal and defining for the siblings as adults later on, it all fell apart for me and got really boring. It reminded me of the The Nest, which was also one I was in the minority by not liking.

Vivantes Hospital Spandau
Specialist field: Oncology
Prof. Dr. Ernst Späth-Schwalbe
Neue Bergstraße 6

Senior Consultant Professor Ernst Späth-Schwalbe
MBA Medical Director, Vivantes Hospital in Spandau, Berlin
Oncological diseases are on the increase as a result of changing lifestyles and demographics and could soon replace heart disease as the most common cause of death in humans.
At the Vivantes Hospital in Spandau for Internal Medicine, Oncology, Haematology and Palliative Medicine, highly qualified doctors treat almost 2,000 cancer patients every year; a total of around 14,000 are treated across the entire Vivantes network. Highly qualified staff provide end-to-end care from diagnosis and therapy to aftercare and rehabilitation. Working together as an interdisciplinary team plays an important part in this.
Interdisciplinary collaboration – the key to a successful outcome
The hospital focuses on diagnosing and treating patients suffering from cancer and other diseases of the digestive system. In addition to these specialisms, the clinic also treats other internal illnesses. All required specialists including oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, radiologists and nuclear medicine technologists work closely together in interdisciplinary tumour conferences. This enables an optimum treatment plan to be drawn up and put into practice for each patient. Through the use of systemic (chemotherapy) and localised therapies such as radio frequency ablation and chemoembolisation, patients with malignant tumours can either be cured or given palliative care to maintain as high a quality of life as possible.
Senior Consultant Professor Ernst Späth-Schwalbe, a world-renowned expert, has headed up the Department for Haematology, Oncology, Gastroenterology and Palliative Medicine at the Vivantes Hospital in Spandau, Berlin, since 2001. In addition to his work at the hospital, he has also been president of the Berlin Tumour Centre and is the spokesman for the Vivantes North Oncological Centre.
Professor Späth-Schwalbe stresses that "all our patients with cancer, regardless of which stage this is at, receive treatment and care tailored to their individual needs."
Great care is taken to make the hospital a place where people feel comfortable and secure. Our medical team includes nurses who are highly specialised and extremely dedicated and have many years of experience looking after seriously ill patients. Psycho-oncological support is provided by a specially trained psychologist. A whole team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dieticians is on hand to offer support during a course of treatment coordinated to include both outpatient and inpatient care.
Palliative medicine
Particular emphasis is given to the early integration of palliative medicine in the treatment of patients with advanced tumours. It is the job of the palliative care unit to relieve symptoms that are brought on by advanced and incurable tumourrelated illnesses. The primary objective of the treatment is to enable patients to return to a familiar environment as free of pain and discomfort as possible. We never lose sight of the individual and all the desires, suffering, hopes and fears that they carry with them.
Ground-breaking organisation and ongoing development
In 2007 the Oncological Centre in Berlin became the first to be certified by the German Society for Haematology and Oncology and was accredited as a "designated centre of integrated oncology and palliative care" by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO). Standards in diagnosis and therapy are continually updated to reflect advancements in medical science and innovative developments. To further this goal, the clinic participates in clinical trials evaluating the latest oncological treatments.

Composing Cinquain Poems with Basic Parts of Speech
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Two 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Blacksburg, Virginia
Students discover the characteristics of cinquain poems through reading and analysis of sample poems. They then use a graphic organizer to write their own cinquain poems, focusing on different parts of speech for each line.
Cinquain Graphic Organizer: This student reproducible provides a sample and description of a cinquain poem, and includes prompts for students to create their own.
In their article "Joyful Noises: Creating Poems for Voices and Ears," Apol and Harris explore ways teachers build interest leading students to create original poems. This exercise is one of several scaffolding experiences that the teachers use to "lead students beyond a superficial encounter to a deeper understanding and appreciation of poetry" (316). Through reading cinquain and then writing their own, students move from simply reading the poems to analyzing them and, ultimately, composing poems that match the format.

In a new post to the test.icial.ly blog today Christian looks at interfaces in PHP and why they seem to be ignored in a lot of the development work being done.
Every once in a while I stumble upon interfaces or somebody mentions them to me. Whenever this happens I realise that the use of Interfaces as an OOP key feature in PHP is next to none at all. But why is that?
They note that, while interfaces are used all over projects in other languages, it seems like PHP development has steered away from their use. They define normal interfaces and abstract interfaces for those that don't know and talk about the differences between them. He also includes a brief code sample with description of its use and a bit about interfaces and frameworks.

A Sherman Oaks man is expected to be sentenced to more than a year in state prison after admitting to intentionally running over his estranged wife's Chihuahua in January.
Michael David Parker, 45, pleaded no contest to one count of animal cruelty and told prosecutors that he used his car as a deadly weapon, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Investigators arrested Parker in January on suspicion of killing the dog and placing it in a trash bag. Surveillance footage captured the sequence of events and became an important piece of evidence in the case.
Parker could be seen getting into a dark-colored car as the dog, named Cow Cow, made its way to the front of the vehicle. Parker then backs up in the car before speeding towards the 5-year-old Chihuahua.
Investigators charged Parker in March.
Parker is expected to be sentenced on April 28 in Los Angeles. He will likely be sentenced to 16 months in prison and have the remaining counts of animal cruelty and petty theft of a dog to be dropped, the statement said.

Opportunities for Student Success
Reading, writing, critical thinking – all are skills that can lead to success in one's professional endeavors.
While serving all NMU students with composition and study skills courses, the English Department also offers strong programs in literature and specialized writing. As literature courses challenge students to consider matters of broad human significance, so the many offerings in creative writing, exposition and journalism encourage students to develop their talents for expressing ideas and emotions.
The department directs its majors and minors toward courses that will further enhance their abilities to analyze and discuss literature or to write fiction, nonfiction or poetry. A career in one of these fields, either teaching or another professional endeavor, can be a richly rewarding experience.
The department offers four undergraduate English majors and six minors. The majors are in English, English/graduate-bound, English secondary education, and writing. The six minors offered are in writing, journalism, journalism education, film studies, English and English education. The department also participates in the interdisciplinary major in technical communications, as well as the gender studies and Native American studies minors.
In addition to the classroom learning, student opportunities abound within the English Department, including working on one of the department's three student produced publications – the student newspaper, a literary magazine and the departmental electronic newsletter; volunteering with local reading and writing programs; and student employment that involved literature or writing, both locally and on campus. The possibilities are plentiful.

Wind World took first place from Suzlon after installing 454MW in 2012. Suzlon installed 415MW, while Powertech followed in third place on 273MW.
Further down, Vestas installed 34MW, an 87% fall on 2011. However, last year Vestas announced it was substantially reducing its sales efforts in India and was largely confining its activities to operations and maintenance.
The success of Wind World follows its rebrand at the end of last year. The company primarily supplies sub-1MW turbines using Enercon designs. But it has been involved in a legal dispute with Enercon since German manufacturer and former partner Enercon cancelled a licensing agreement between the two companies in 2007.
This dispute has included the use of the Enercon name and the German company's efforts to enforce a change. Speaking about the changes, Wind World India managing director Yogesh Mehra said that the domain name was acquired on 20 November 2012 and the change took place as of 1 January 2013.
"The company structure and share ownership structure remain the same as before," Mehra said.
Overall, wind installations in India fell 47% to 1.7GW due to issues over the country's incentive programme.
Although the country's colossal growth in energy demand means that long-term prospects for wind remain good, there is considerable uncertainty in the short-term as the industry waits for the government to reinstate financial support.

A Guide to the George C. Carttar Family Papers, 1859-1916
Biographical Note
In the late-19th century, George C. Carttar immigrated to San Antonio, Texas, from England, where his relative Edward Arundel Carttar served as West Kent's coroner in the 1880s.
Accountant Charles Graham Carttar (1835-ca. 1910s) served as liquidator for the Volunteer Service and General Assurance Association in England and as an agent for political candidates in the London and Kent areas. In 1875, he and his wife Mary immigrated to the United States, settling in San Antonio, Texas, where he served as secretary of the Texas British Association and studied the architecture and history of the city and state.
Scope and Contents
The George C. Carttar Family Papers, 1859-1916, concern the business career and social interests of George C. Carttar, Edward Arundel Carttar, and Charles Graham Carttar. The collection includes scrapbooks, maps and plats, a ledger, certificates, photographs, and pictorial material. The scrapbooks, 1859-1916, contain maps, plats, plans, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other documents pertaining to the careers of coroner Edward Arundel Carttar and accountant Charles Graham Carttar; housekeeping and insurance; San Antonio and Texas commerce, politics, architecture, and history; and pictorial views of the United States and Canada. The maps and plats, 1871-1895, illustrate Bexar County and the state of Texas; river and harbor improvements in the United States; and railroad maps of the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and North America. The photographs and pictorial works, 1882-1891, [ca. 1910], undated, depict buildings in San Antonio and Bexar County, outdoor scenes at Grove Lake in Castroville, the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway, and reproductions of images and text from newspapers. Additionally, the ledger, 1866-1869, documents Charles Graham Carttar's tenure as liquidator for the Volunteer Service and General Assurance Association in England, and the certificates, 1862, 1893, 1911, concern Charles Graham Carttar and his work with the Texas British Association.

I've been collecting pyrex from the thrift store for a few years. I know it's a trendy thing to collect pyrex these days, but I'm solidly on that bandwagon because it's so useable! I use my pieces almost every day – they're so pretty and so practical at the same time. That said, I'm trying to only buy pieces that I will actually use. I'm determined not to become a hoarder, so there have been times I've come across Pyrex pieces at the thrift store and passed them up because I'm limiting myself to pieces in colors I use on a daily basis (mainly primary colors) or don't already have (pink & turquoise). In other words, I'm not going to buy more harvest gold, just because it's there.
The Snowflake Blue is my new favorite pattern. I only have one little Corelle saucer to hang on my wall, so this is a pattern I've been actually looking for. I found a great little casserole in perfect condition, plus the cutest little creamer.
A little Colonial Mist baker. Okay, this wasn't a real 'need' but I have a mixing bowl in this pattern and it's one of my favorites.
And finally two mixing bowls. The little yellow mixer is my favorite size for whipping up eggs in the morning – I use it every day. I've been looking for a piece of red Pyrex forever and a day and this is my first piece. So now I can rest easier in that elusive hunt.

The family of Baltimore murder victim Isiah Callaway sued his former lawyer this week, saying he told a co-defendant of Callaway's that federal authorities wanted to speak to his client — information that the family says got him killed.
Pikesville-based attorney Larry J. Feldman faces a civil suit in Baltimore City Circuit Court that alleges he shared information about Callaway with Tavon Davis, who had been accused of running a rent-check fraud scheme in which Callaway participated.
Davis pleaded guilty last fall to federal murder conspiracy charges in Callaway's death. The fraud charges were dropped. Feldman has not been charged with a crime.
Steven Silverman, the Callaway family's attorney, said he hopes the suit will "admonish what appears to be the most egregious breach of trust imaginable."
"Isiah's family has been frustrated by the lack of what they perceive to be any justice brought in this case," Silverman said.
The plaintiffs are seeking more than $40 million in damages, according to the complaint filed Tuesday.
Authorities said Callaway worked with Davis in the scheme — stealing rent checks and depositing them into fake bank accounts — when he was arrested by Baltimore County police in December 2010.
Davis, who had been represented in court in the past by Feldman, referred Callaway to the attorney, the family's civil complaint said. Feldman allegedly told Davis that Callaway had been cooperating with U.S. authorities looking into the fraud accusations.
Feldman "immediately tipped Davis off about the federal investigation and never once spoke to Callaway about the matter," the document said.
"Feldman also warned Davis about numerous subsequent contacts he had received from federal authorities, claiming that they were putting 'enormous pressure' on him to get Callaway to cooperate in their investigation of Davis' scheme," the complaint said.
Feldman told The Baltimore Sun in a December 2011 interview that it was not his fault that Davis found out about Callaway's case.
"I know I spoke to Callaway about the government wanting to speak with him, and I'm sure [the co-conspirators] were all aware of that," he said. "I cannot imagine that he would not have spoken to Davis about that."
He referred comments Thursday to his attorney, R. Scott Krause, who did not return a request for comment.
At the time, federal prosecutors said, the evidence did not support criminal charges against Feldman.
According to court records in Davis' criminal case, Feldman told Davis he could face two decades in prison.
Concerned about the jail time, Davis agreed to pay a third man, Bruce Byrd, $2,000 to shoot Callaway, and the two spoke more than 60 times orchestrating Callaway's killing, prosecutors said.
Byrd was convicted of shooting Callaway at close range as he sat inside a Toyota Camry in the 1700 block of Crystal Ave.
Callaway, who was 19 when he was killed, had worked at a clothing store at Arundel Mills mall and had no prior adult criminal record.
Davis realized after Callaway's death that he would have only spent three to four years in jail if convicted for operating the fraud scheme. According to court documents, he told a friend that his decision to order the killing made him the "schmuck of the year."

JERUSALEM, Dec. 20 (JTA) — "If you lose the referendum, will you resign?"
The interviewer's question to Prime Minister Ehud Barak on Israeli television over the weekend was clearly one Barak would have preferred to do without.
Yet, as he must have known, it was one that has been on everyone's minds and lips here since the long-stalled Syrian-Israeli peace track suddenly burst back into life in Washington last week, when Barak held two days of talks with Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa.
During the interview, Barak replied confidently that he would bring back from the negotiations with Syria "the kind of good, solid, advantageous agreement that will win a sweeping majority" in a referendum.
That, said the premier, was the only kind of agreement he would be prepared to sign.
On Sunday, Barak told his Cabinet that in early rounds of negotiations he would seek a core agreement with Damascus that covers the main issues facing the two sides. He also expressed his determination to pursue the Syrian and Palestinian negotiations simultaneously.
Despite his show of optimism during the television interview, there are many in the pro-peace camp who are concerned over the prospect of the looming referendum — the first ever in Israel's history.
Barak's supporters all recognize that the vote will in fact be tantamount to a mid-term election — and if Barak fails, he will have to resign.
Some in the premier's camp feel, though few are prepared to say so publicly, that he will need a substantial margin to achieve a credible win in the referendum — something like the 56-44 percent edge by which he defeated Benjamin Netanyahu in the election last May.
This way he would not be prone to accusations from the right that his victory would be based on the votes of Israeli Arabs, while losing among the Jewish vote.
Though his supporters are buoyed and comforted by Barak's own air of confidence, many cannot shake off their anxiety as they survey the opinion polls and the perilous state of the governing coalition.
The polls show the country divided fairly evenly on the issue of withdrawal from all of the Golan Heights in return for a full peace with Syria.
If anything, the anti-withdrawal camp seems to have the edge at this time.
Meanwhile, the National Religious Party has given notice that it will secede from the coalition the moment a land-for-peace accord is signed.
The assertion has come not only from the hard-line party leader, Housing Minister Yitzhak Levy, but even from a relative moderate like legislator Zevulun Orlev.
"The minute it's signed," Orlev said Sunday, "we quit."
Barak has courted the NRP, believing that its presence within his government gives him invaluable moral and political backing in the ongoing negotiations with the Palestinians.
The fact that the pro-settler NRP was recently prepared to swallow the dismantlement of several settler outposts in the West Bank in the context of the ongoing interim accords with the Palestinian Authority was seen as an important success for Barak in his effort to represent as wide a constituency as possible in his peacemaking efforts.
The NRP may well not be alone when it secedes over the Golan.
Yisrael Ba'Aliyah, the Russian immigrant party led by Interior Minister Natan Sharansky, is likely to leave, too.
Sharansky's No. 2, Yuli Edelstein, is chairman of a pro-Golan lobby of Knesset members and is close to the West Bank settlers, too. And Sharansky himself has voiced profound misgivings over the evolving accord with Damascus.
Worse still, from Barak's viewpoint, Sharansky has gone on record with the prediction that the accord will not win a majority in the referendum. Sharansky said over the weekend he believes the Russian immigrant community, many of whom live on the Golan, will vote against it.
It they do, it would make Barak's task enormously harder.
After all, it was a significant swing within that community away from Netanyahu in the month or so before the election that gave Barak his convincing victory last May.
The conventional wisdom is that most of the Russian immigrants are hard-liners when it comes to territorial concessions.
Coming as they do from a huge country, they see no reason why tiny Israel should willingly divest itself of the geographical advantages provided by the Golan.
Nor do they have much respect for the peace promises of Moscow's former client, Syrian President Hafez Assad.
If Sharansky comes out unequivocally against the accord, that in itself would presumably affect the votes of a considerable number of the immigrants.
These uncomfortable cracks within his coalition make it all the more important for Barak to ensure the solid support of his single largest coalition partner, the fervently Orthodox Shas Party.
Shas' spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, is thought to believe that the Golan is not part of the Biblical Land of Israel and, moreover, that land-for-peace is a worthy policy if it results in the saving of Israeli lives.
Without a doubt, Yosef has the religious and moral authority to ensure that all 17 Shas legislators vote in favor of an accord with Syria — if he himself decides to support it.
But can he ensure the votes, in a national referendum, of the much more disparate constituency of some 400,000 people who gave Shas their votes in the May election?
Not all of these people are fervently Orthodox; some are barely traditional and voted for Shas more for its platform as the party of the poor than for its religious message.
And as the party of the poor, Shas has pretty little to show its voters for the half-year it has been in Barak's government.
With the prime minister trying this week to pass his budget bill into law before the year's end, Shas leader Eli Yishai, the minister of labor and welfare, warned Monday that the budget, the poverty statistics and the Syria referendum were all intimately linked in the minds of the many ordinary Israelis who are hard pressed to make ends meet.
The minister spoke just hours after the National Insurance Institute released figures showing an ongoing increase in the number of citizens living below the poverty line.
Granted, the figures refer to the Netanyahu years. But, as Yishai and his party contend, Barak's economic policies have changed nothing in the lives of the worst-off sectors of the population. While the rich-poor gap in Israel continues to grow, the poor continue to get poorer.
Barak's reply, echoed by his finance minister, Avraham Shohat, is that returning to economic growth is a long and painful process — one that can be dramatically accelerated by the early achievement of a comprehensive peace.
This reasoning, though theoretically impeccable, lacks cogency for many people, including many Shas supporters, who need to feel an immediate economic boost.

Meet and Eat: Marissa Sertich Velie, Spring Editorial Intern
Getting to know the folks behind the food and drinks you love.
Name: Marissa Sertich Velie
Location: Poughkeepsie
Occupation: Pastry chef/food writer
Website/Twitter: Dessertation
Guilty pleasures? What would queso dip be without Velveeta, or a Philly cheesesteak without Cheez Wiz?
Describe your perfect meal. A sampling of street foods while exploring a new and exciting place. Either that, or a pile of pierogi with caramelized onions and sour cream.
What food won't you eat? There is something to be said for trying everything once. This being said, I have yet to eat a bug.
Favorite food person? It's a tie between Harold McGee and the ever-handsome Anthony Bourdain.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? I think I've always recognized my love of food and sweets, but I truly became a serious eater when I joined the food world's gritty underbelly to become a professional baker. You don't get up at 4 a.m. to make the doughnuts unless you really love them!
What do your family and your friends think of your food obsessions? My parents would beg me to stop baking when I younger and I would think, "What? You can't eat two batches of cookies a day?" At this point, they're totally used to it!
Favorite food sites or blogs? Am I allowed to say Serious Eats? I also love NPR's The Salt and the Smithsonian's food blog.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? Food is such a subjective experience that I always hesitate to make restaurant recommendations, but I will recommend that people in New York City make the trip up to the Hudson Valley. There are tons of restaurants popping up that are making incredible food and sourcing from farms right in their backyards.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? Is dessert a meal? I say dessert. Or breakfast when you can have scones and muffins...which is basically dessert. I usually get dessert from my own kitchen!
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I bake almost every day and make a pretty excellent cake, if I do say so myself.

DURHAM — With a myriad of innovative technology now at our fingertips, it seems all too easy for iPods, cell phones, and GPS devices to find their way into our vehicles.
While convenient and often entertaining, when used behind the wheel those devices can prove to be distracting, and scientists from a variety of fields are working to address that problem by examining both technical and psychological aspects of distracted driving.
In late October,more than 150 researchers and practitioners from around the world met for three days worth of sessions to address myriad ways to enhance both the safety and service of devices in vehicles.
The fourth annual Automotive UI conference, short for International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicle Applications, brought together computer scientists, electrical engineers, human factors engineers, psychologists, and computer engineers.
On Oct. 17, the first day of the conference, participants gathered at Morse Hall at UNH, home of the university's Project 54, which developed a system for devices in police cruisers — such as sirens, computers, radars, and radios — to be fully controlled by the driver's voice.
Project 54, a partnership effort between UNH and the N.H. Department of Safety, is now working with a driving simulator to study effects of everyday devices on the driver's attention to the road.
During the first day of the Automotive UI conference, participants sat inside a driving simulator and tested their skills on a simulated road, seen through three large screens in front of the driver. Meanwhile, the simulator recorded the driver's eye movements and pupil size, to study the cognitive load on the participants.
Oskar Palinko, research engineer with Project 54, explained that pupils dilate when a person has a high cognitive load. So far, the project has shown that drivers have a higher cognitive load when texting and using an iPod.
"When he is using an iPod, he is definitely spending more time looking down," said Palinko about a participant in the driving simulator.
But even when one's hands are free, distractions such as music or an intense phone conversation can still have an effect on a driver's cognitive load.
"So even if you are looking at the road ahead, you could, you know, be blinded by your thoughts," said Palinko.
He said the current studies with the eye tracker help quantify what the general public, for the most part, already knows — that in-vehicle devices such as cell phones tend to contribute to distracted driving.
Text messaging tends to be offer the biggest distraction for drivers, said Palinko.
Drivers, on average, spend five seconds looking away from the road, said Palinko, and that can make a big difference. "Something can jump in front of you while you're driving."
Andrew Kun, principal investigator of Project 54 and associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UNH, said he hopes the collection of knowledge resulting from the new phase of Project 54 will eventually turn into better technology inside vehicles to increase drivers' performance and help them focus on the primary task behind the wheel.
He said the first phase of the project, which implemented a fully integrated voice command system in police cruisers, is "the most advanced thing in the world as far as police goes."
Project 54 focus turns to distracted driving
DURHAM — With a myriad of innovative technology now at our fingertips, it seems all too easy for iPods, cell phones, and GPS devices to find their way into our vehicles.

really?? he is good but not even close to being the best. kobe, lebron, rose, big three from celtics, all players that are better than him. yeah, the big 3 are older and don't put up the numbers but could if they all didn't play together and sacrificed winning over stats. look at pierce's stats before those 2 arrived. as much as i hate to put lebron in there he is good and does it all on the offensive end, defense not as much. kobe, if you even have to question -as much as this makes me puke in my mouth, is a winner and no one is better at ending the game than him. i am sure there are plenty others that i could of threw in there- wade, paul, duncan as everybody could make their own argument for their favorite. in order to be the best tho you have to win something with your team. kobe has done that and so have the big 3.

The folks at Gearbox are rarely slackers when it comes to downloadable content, and so far Borderlands 2 has mostly borne that out. We've known for a little bit that the next batch of DLC will be called "Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt" but beyond that, details have been scarce.
Reddit user MikeTheInfidel has dug deep into the latest update to Borderlands 2 to uncover what looks like a list of features from the "Hammerlock" DLC, including a whole new continent, new vehicle, and of course, new loot.
From the DLC description he uncovered:
Danger! Excitement! Mustaches! It's time for another episode of Vault Hunter Adventures, featuring Sir Hammerlock! In this week's tale, our hard-boiled heroes travel to the savage continent of Aegrus! Their goal? To uncover the most exotic creatures Pandora has to offer, and give 'em the old one-two!
That's a lot! Of exclamation! Marks!
MikeTheInfidel describes Aegrus as a "swamp/jungle continent," which sounds cool (I did enjoy the more tropical feel of some of the areas in the Captain Scarlett DLC), and says it will consist of 5 main story missions and 12 side missions, many of which doled out by Hammerlock himself.
Sounds good. I haven't had a chance to play any Borderlands 2 for a good while now, but it just might be time to head back in. For more info, check out MikeTheInfidel's full Reddit post.
