Once upon a time I thought there was only one sort of boot: 'walking' boots. How naive of me. I knew I'd got something wrong when I asked Baz the ice climber in the pub: "Will crampons fit these?", and he nearly died after inhaling a mouthful of beer. My little world of soft Gore-tex and leather was enlarged by the technicality of winter boots – and as I learnt you can't get much more complex than boots – B1, B2, B3, Alpine, expedition, Scottish winter and the absurdly named 'cold winter boots'. So what do Zamberlan Alpine mountaineering boots offer the likes of me: an aspirant winter mountaineer with the beginnings of a crush on ice climbing but mostly at large in the UK?

First impressions were good – as you'd expect a true Alpine boot to be, they're rigid, (C2 compatible) and have a full rubber rand and reinforced toe. Thankfully they're a distinct aesthetic improvement on my old brown breeze blocks. I was worried my chunky Brit feet wouldn't slide easily into the slim fitting Italian ladies design but, just like Cinderella, my usual shoe size (39) went on without a fight. And amazingly I could walk almost normally – none of that Frankenstein stomp - because they're fantastically light. I was so inspired I walked to work in them in the first snowfall of winter and didn't have to rip them off my feet after a couple of hours. In fact I kept them on all day. Great ... but the comfort of urban stalking isn't what they're designed for.
"...I worried my chunky Brit feet wouldn't slide into the slim fitting Italian design but, like Cinderella, my usual shoe size went on without a fight..."
The crampons were dusted off shortly after for a visit to a Welsh winter-wonderland, and the real test began. Once I'd mastered the clever lacing system, the fit was fine (the ability to adjust foot and ankle tightness independently is a first for me). I could feel my toes wiggle and my heel was clamped in like an oyster. And incredibly I had no 'new boot' blisters after a 10 hour epic day of stomping uphill through deep fresh snow, kicking the shit out of frozen waterfalls (a questionable pastime) and an interminably long walk off.
One small shortcoming was that the laces were irritatingly thin and short to handle for someone with cold hands who'd prefer not to take their gloves off – a problem solved by the purchase of different laces.
As rigid boots go, they're not bad for a long trek. The ankle cuffs are soft enough and high enough to give both good support and movement and I didn't feel my feet had been welded into concrete. These are B2 boots and I had no trouble getting a close fit with C2 crampons. There's a good heel welt and the sole is stiff enough to stop them straying anywhere (The boots have a good 'edge' to the toes and make climbing without crampons very possible). Playing ice maiden with them on was great - no excruciating toe pain (I got that in the face from the flailing end of an ice axe instead), and good stability.
"...So how would they cope with an Alpine winter?"
Warmth: to me this is part and parcel of the comfort of a boot, and initially I'd spurned the macho sport of ice climbing because all I could envisage was the purgatory of frozen toes. Using the right socks helped change my mind - and I went for a single pair with the Torres rather than two to avoid cramped toes. This was fine until I found the cold creeping in unpleasantly on a blue-sky minus 8 snowy day in Cwm Idwal and also during a tromp through the icy bogs skirting Ben Nevis – which was when the concept of 'cold winter boots' suddenly became less insane. These are Alpine boots: they're lightweight (a good thing), but it means they're limited in the amount of warmth they'll provide (a bad thing) in the depths of a UK winter. So how would they cope with an Alpine winter?
Zamberlan GT RR Torre Women's Boots
The boots had their ultimate test on a trip to the frozen Aosta Valley in the Italian Alps – and they came good. Waterproofness was trialled thoroughly when I proved my hesitant words: 'The ice looks thin here', true by going for a quick icy paddle. And the Vibram sole's deep tread kept me from falling on my arse on well-trodden snow tracks. I'd taken precautions against chilblains in the continuous sub-zero temperatures and stuck a pair of Yeti gaiters over them. These, and one pair of wool socks, kept my feet happy. Hard kicking in a desperate panic to stay attached to a grade 4 route of 90 degree ice didn't have any ill effects on them either.
Effectively 3 season boots but given an extension to 4 if encased by gaiters.

About Sarah Flint (aka fishinwater)
Sarah writes a bit, climbs a lot and prefers to be outside rather than in some office staring at a computer. She got bored with her previous obsession, gardening, a few years ago, and found the strength and fitness developed in the 13 years she had been head gardener, suited climbing perfectly. Since then she's been greedy to cram as much climbing experience into her life as possible.
Where before she wrote about vegetables, she now likes to write about all things climbing and is keen to share the learning curve of her new addiction. She's based in the south west which is ideal for popping out to a crag before lunch and whenever the addiction calls.
She has a blog on climber.co.uk called 'Off the Wall', which is mostly about how not to climb.

Rage review
With an impressive pedigree of games like Doom and Quake, developer id Software has quite the reputation. It's been seven years since the company released a game developed in-house, increasing expectations for id's next title: a post-apocalyptic, shooter-racer hybrid called Rage. Rage is not only a new game, but it marks the debut of the studio's new id Tech 5. The new engine proves its mettle, despite minor shortcomings, and powers the developer's most robust game to date.
The post-apocalyptic world envisioned by id is inhabited by roving gangs, mutants, and a totalitarian military regime called The Authority. As in past id games, our hero makes his way in this brave new world done down the barrel of a gun.
The wasteland is huge, consisting of city-hubs, enemy-filled "dungeons," and secret areas joined together by sprawling roadways and large arena-like basins. Traveling the wasteland is done almost exclusively by car, and while there are roving bands of enemy vehicles to blow up along the way, the bulk of the combat is reserved for the numerous dungeon areas entered on-foot. I liked the free-form progress of the game, being able to decide whether or not to pursue the main story, go on an optional side-quest for an upgraded weapon or crafting schematic, hit the race track, or gamble for a bit in the collectible card game.
The action in Rage--whether on foot or on wheels--runs at blazing-fast speed on the Xbox 360, and is an absolute blast to play. Whether it's a wide-open sniper's paradise, or a claustrophobic kill-room great for shotguns, the variety of enemies and their dynamic behavior make the FPS action fun and frantic. For example, even when enemies charge you, they rarely do so in a straight line, often changing their posture mid-shamble to thwart your perfect headshot. Rage also demands a bit more aiming skill than other shooters which offer more assisted targeting. Different types of ammunition, coupled with gadgets like deployable turrets, add spice and variety.
Curiously though, in spite of the fun toys the game lets you play with, it limits weaponry to four quick-access slots. The same applies to the four spots given for gadgets and power-ups. There's no inventory limit, though, so this just meant I found myself pausing in the middle of combat to adjust my quick-slots. A weapon-wheel would have been helpful here.
Those used to the inclusion of copious automatic checkpoints will also need approach the game a bit more cautiously. Rage saves automatically when entering or leaving a new area, but players concerned about losing progress will want to pop into the menus to save often. The developers are aware of this; tips in the in-game menus even support this methodology.
Rage offers some spectacular set-pieces, but suffers from some uneven pacing. Some of the game's most memorable encounters occur long before the final mission. While the level of difficulty scales well, and the story has a decent (albeit brief) conclusion, I felt that some of the later missions were a bit anticlimactic compared to earlier set-pieces.
Although id has focused a lot on Rage's racing component, it ultimately feels like a great bonus, one that showcases the capabilities of the new iD Tech 5 engine. Vehicular events are quick and fun, and offer time trials, rallies, and races, with or without weapons. The physics are decidedly more arcade-like than simulation, and are reminiscent of Twisted Metal. The rally-based events also have four multiplayer variations, though straight-up races are strangely absent from Rage's online component. Lacking real depth, the four-player, vehicle-based multiplayer matches are nothing but a raucous fun distraction.
Rage's Wasteland Legends online cooperative mode offers something a bit more traditional, pitting two players in a string of increasingly difficult on-foot shooting scenarios. However, it doesn't make up for the lack of true competitive multiplayer. Cleverly structured as a series of stories told by a folksy narrator, Wasteland Legends' suite of 2-player adventures is a lot of fun to barrel through with a friend. And, though its locations are repeated from the single-player campaign, some of them take place in the city-hub areas where shooting is forbidden during the single-player experience, which is a nice twist. Still, given the strength of the game's gunplay, the lack of competitive FPS multiplayer seems like an odd choice.
Fantastic as Rage looks running on the Xbox 360, there are a few shortcomings that bear mentioning. The developer recommends installation of all three of the game's DVDs to the console's hard drive. This amounts to a footprint over 21 GB, which may not be an inconsequential consideration for some. (For more on the game's installation requirements, read this.)
While the game's environments look fantastic when viewed at mid to long range and in the midst of the action, textures tend to look washed-out when viewed close up, with the exception of the character models. While not a huge issue, it's certainly noticeable when looting the corpses of fallen enemies or searching the environment for crafting materials and collectibles—which you'll do quite a bit of. It's mainly distracting because the rest of Rage looks so great.
In spite of its shortcomings, fans will be pleased to note that id Software still has what it takes to still make meaningful and fun contributions to the genre they created. All told, Rage delivers an incredibly solid experience that's an arcade racer and a FPS wrapped in Mad Max's dusty, leather jacket.

I have not been around on these forums for ages now, been pretty much clear with my skin so not had to come on here picking people's brains for answers, but hey i am back again for some answers if one can be given, my skin has pretty much been clear for months now, i am talking 6 months or longer, but today all of a sudden i have come out in some cysts on my neck, now i am not sure if this my skin being a problem again as i seem to get these around this time of the year when the weather starts warming up, recently it has been really warm and i suffer generally with heat anyways, i get really hot quick and my skin starts to sweat or just gets really hot, this is the time i seem to get these type of spots, in the winter i don't seem to get the problem, the cysts don't seem ordinary too, when i press on them they just go really red and blood starts to come out of them and then they are really sore for three or so days and then clear up, i seem to get some on my face too but they are smaller, what could this be?.
Come Summer = Cysts

I have clear skin all year round with the help of the regimen but come summer time I get 2-3 cysts that leave scars. I hate summer
Posted 22 July 2013 - 06:31 AM
I have finally come to realise that after 5 years the same thing happens to me. Summer time or humid conditions makes me break out.
The severity of the breakout is also linked to your diet. Last year I was completely clear skin until I had korean BBQ. either the oil used or the the BBQ style cooking made me break out with Cystic acne for more 4 months straight! My face was covered with at least 10 Cystic acne it was quite severe.
Since the breakout, I have been extremely discipline with what I eat staying away from any food that would provoke acne and I have cleared dramatically (still stuck with PIH) With the exception of going to HK 2 weeks ago. It was extremely humid and I broke out again. But it was not Cystic acne but just normal whiteheads that would heal in 1 week.
I am confident I will have clear skin by the end of the year which is when summer comes around. Sticking with my current diet my face is going to be put to the test if it breaks out or not again this summer.

EATER Atlanta is reporting that Abattoir chef Hector Santiago and the team from his former Latin sandwich shop, Super Pan, will be creating the menu and manning the kitchen at Big Sky Buckhead, opening in early 2014.
Santiago, who came to fame as a Top Chef contestant, landed at Abattoir after making the decision to close his main Poncey-Highland tapas restaurant, Pura Vida, last year. Santiago also closed the adjacent Super Pan lunch spot, which was famous for the likes of pork buns and media noche Cuban sandwiches.
Big Sky, from the Cains Hill Group will open for lunch, dinner and brunch in Cains Hill Place in the heart of the Buckhead Village nightlife district.
Several other restaurants are set to open nearby in 2014 — including St. Cecilia from Ford Fry and Smokebelly, the Southern Gentleman, and Gypsy Kitchen, from the team behind Tin Lizzy's, the Big Ketch. and Milton's.
Could this be the beginning of a renaissance of the Buckhead dining scene?

People who attended college but never graduated may attend a college fair this Wednesday to re-enroll in school and to receive help paying for it.
"Spring Fling" will feature representatives from 20 colleges and universities, both public and private, on both sides of the Ohio River. The event, at Jewish Family and Vocational Services, 3587 Dutchman's Lane, is Wednesday, Feb. 20, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
"People can literally transform their lives with a degree," said Mayor Jerry Abramson, who will stop by Spring Fling to encourage people to finish their degrees.
Abramson, joined by local college and university leaders and the business community, announced a major new initiative this month to encourage citizens to return to college to finish their degrees.
The campaign, "Graduate Greater Louisville," will attempt to reach the 177,000 people in the 13-county Louisville Metropolitan Area who have some college but never earned their degree.
The majority of people with some college but no degree live in Louisville — one in five adults, or 104,000 people. Some of those people are just a few classes short of a bachelor's.People who cannot attend Spring Fling may still get information about returning to college by visiting www.graduategreaterlouisville.com or calling 1-877-GO-4-GRAD o speak to counselors.
Abramson also noted that people with degrees earn more money. People in Louisville with some college but no degree earn, on average, $32,000. But people with a bachelor's earn an average of $52,000.
"Education pays," Abramson said. "It leads to people with better jobs, better salaries, better lives and, ultimately, leads to a stronger, better Louisville."Resources for returning to college

Two teens are in custody accused of trying to set off an explosive device at the LaPorte County Fair. Sheriff Mike Mollenhauer told FOX28 News it was uncertain whether the teens would be tried as juveniles or as adults.
Several people reported a suspicious person with a possibly explosive device at the fair around 9:00pm on July 11. A few minutes later, LaPorte County Sheriff's Deputies were able to find a suspect.
Deputies arrested the sixteen-year-old, and the Porter County Bomb Squad dismantled the device. Investigators from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATF) to assist with the case.
Sheriff Mollenhauer said the explosive was believed to be sufficient to injure or possibly kill someone.
BATF investigators found a second suspect they believe is responsible for constructing the explosive. The second suspect, also sixteen year old, was found at his home and arrested.
The first teen is charged with Possession of a Destructive Device. The second is charged with Manufacturing a Destructive Device. Both are being held in the Juvenile Services Center.
A third teen was also arrested in connection to the incident. While the first teen was being arrested at the fair, this third teen reportedly got into an argument with Deputies. He apparently kicked an officer while being arrested and was pepper sprayed by police.
The third sixteen year old is charged with Battery of a Police Officer and Resisting Law Enforcement. He is also being held in the LaPorte County Juvenile Services Center.

So I've been whiling away the hours preparing for interviews and reading blogs and pinning and tumbling and shopping and drinking and dancing and reading and drawing and avoiding the gym and generally being a bit rubbish at documenting things on here, sorry!!!!
HOWEVER, there is a big development of sorts in the project; finally, a brief!!!!!
Design brief
Create a fabric that explores a bold spirit of adventure.
Key words: Exploration, adventure, freedom, fantasy, fear, fearless, pioneer, expedition, unknown, beyond, uncharted, discovery.
Settings: Turbulent ocean floors, mountain crevices, deep jungles, endless deserts, ancient metropoleis, untraveled territories, unknown worlds.
Have you ever been sitting on the bus or at your desk when your mind begins to wander – in your imagination you are somewhere on the other side of the world, scaling a craggy pink-red granite mountain, following the call of a chimpanzee high up in humid jungle treetops, diving to the bottom of the ocean where coral is the colour of candy floss and your heart drums as weird creatures appear from beneath forgotten ship wrecks?
We are asking you to bring your imaginary adventures out of the realm of the fantastic and put them onto fabric.
The People's Print have created an inspirational how-to tutorial, showing you how to build a dreamscape in collage form and turn it into a fabric design. Feel free to use the knowledge and ideas within the tutorial, or stray as far from it as you like.
What we will be looking for:
Colour; the colours you use will influence the whole DIYcouture collection; prompt/provoke our palette.
Imagination; let it run wild. Cause a commotion.
Design; create a good looking repeat, appropriate for cutting edge clothing.
How to enter:

okay so initial thoughts are hippies//san francisco//haight ashbury//asian decoration//flower power//psychedelia//americana
Just an afternoon of internet-trawling in preparation for some rigorous more serious research and observation (definitely not just looking through blogs….)
I'm so inspired it's almost too much to handle, need to make sense of all these ideas buzzin around.
(via wanderlustandsunshine)
(here's the link):
"KPIX-TV documentary presented by writer Michael McClure from 1967, about the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco and how it is increasingly recognized as a center for the growing 'hippie' counter-culture movement. As narrator Rod Sherry puts it: "Some call Haight-Ashbury another bohemia, like the Left Bank, Greenwich Village and others … But it's more like Brigadoon: a magical land that appeared only yesterday and may be gone tomorrow. But if it lasts, the effect on the rest of society could be far reaching. And that's why the outside world must try to understand what is happening here." Includes scenes of McClure visiting the Psychedlic Bookshop, the Print Mint and the Straight Theater (where The New Salvation Army Band and a rehersal from his play 'The Beard' are seen). Also features views of The Grateful Dead relaxing inside their house at 710 Ashbury Street and of McClure walking though the neighborhood and socializing with painter Mike Bowen and others. This film was produced by Alan Goldberg, written by Jim Harwood and directed by Dick Williams. The music is by The New Salvation Army Band."

Lemon Meringue Pie
It was, from one end to the other, a total disaster.
1) The crust, which was a fabulous recipe that my sister-in-law, Angela, used during Thanksgiving, shrunk in the pan. Not once, but twice. The second time was "less bad," being that I yanked the crust over the edges and smushed it to stick. But that meant it was hideously misshapen and uneven in thickness. I mean, what are you supposed to do when that happens?
2) The pie filling recipe is dumb. It tells you to boil the sugar, lemon, and water, and then add the egg yolks and cornstarch all at once. Even *I* know what happens then. The egg yolks curdle. Why did I do it anyway? I don't know. I thought maybe a giant book of desserts knew something I didn't (like that cornstarch would stop the curdling or something). SO not the case.
3) Bleary-eyed with frustration, I misread the instructions to make the meringue. I added the egg whites and sugar together, instead of one, then the other. For a good long while, I thought I would have to start all over again. Fortunately, after about 15 minutes, stiff peaks were achieved.
4) The meringue got not "golden" but "brown with burned tips." I had to surgically excise the burned tips.
5) Despite my best efforts to push the meringue all the way to the edge of the crust 'to seal,' it still managed to separate during refrigeration. You can see in the birds eye view photo at the very bottom, there is crust, an unattractive moat of shiny lemon, and then meringue. I do not even know what happened there.
Anyway, you can all thank Greg for keeping me faithful to this blog's mission. "You have to put it up!" he said, "Your blog SAYS, 'What works and what DOESN'T.'" So, here it is. It did not work on many levels.
The crust, despite it's ugly irregularities, was flaky and tender like I remembered from November. The curd was thick, tangy, and refreshing. The meringue, well, was meringue. I'd never had Lemon Meringue pie before that night, but Greg and his parents all had, and loved it. I suppose I am my own worst critic. The pie was pretty good.
Lemon Meringue Pie (crust from Good Housekeeping, pie from "The Complete Book of Desserts" by, Martha Day)
Crust (makes 3 crusts):
-3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
-1 tablespoon sugar
-1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-1 3/4 cups cold, unsalted butter cut into chunks
-2/3 cup ice water
-2 tablespoons sour cream
-1 teaspoon vinegar
1. In a very large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into the flour, leaving pea-sized chunks.
2. Combine ice water, sour cream, and vinegar with a fork. Add to the flour all at once, quickly mixing to distribute. Don't overmix--the dough should be slightly crumbly and lumpy.
3. Wrap in plastic and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 and up to 24 hours. The finished dough should break, not stretch.
4. When you're ready, divide the dough into 3 portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten with your palms into a disc. Wrap the unused discs in plastic and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month. Butter your pie plate.
5. Using a liberal amount of flour sprinkled on the counter, the rolling pin, and the dough, roll out the crust. It should be about 1/3" thick with enough for a 1/2" overhang. Don't stretch it over the pie plate. Fold the overhang under the crust and crimp the edges. Chill the pie shell for at least 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400.
6. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Line with tin foil and fill with baking beans or other weights. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and continue baking for 6-8 more minutes, or until golden.
For the Pie Filling:
-Grated zest and juice of 1 large lemon
-1 cup sugar, divided
-2 tablespoons butter
-1 cup water
-3 tablespoons cornstarch
-3 eggs, separated
-Pinch of salt
-1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1. In a saucepan, combine the lemon zest and juice, 1/2 cup of sugar, butter, and 1 cup water. Bring mixture to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water. Add the egg yolks.
3. Add the egg yolks to the lemon mixture and return to a boil, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Cover the surface with waxed paper to prevent a skin from forming, and let cool. **NOTE: This will probably cause some of your egg yolk to curdle into little bits. You can remove these by pouring the mixture through a mesh strainer and tapping it with a spoon, occasionally scraping the bottom to help the process along.**
4. For the meringue, chill a metal bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. Add the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until they hold stiff peaks. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until glossy.
5. Spoon the lemon mixture into the pie shell and spread level. Spoon the meringue on top, smoothing it up to the edge of the crust to seal. Bake until golden, 12-15 minutes.
-Serves 8 (with 2 reserve crusts)

Everybody has recipes like this once in awhile. I can remember my wife and I getting ready for a one of my daughters birthday parties. My wife put the cake in the oven and noticed a wet spot on the floor. She wiped it up and went out to put up decorations. When the alarm went off for the cake she slipped in water, turns out the pipe under the sink was leaking. Then she went to the stove to get the cake and it was not cooked. The oven had died. We had to shut off the water in the kitchen and run to the grocery store and buy a cake. The party went on and the kids didn't know, but the parents were frazzled before the party ever started.

Tomb Raider preview
It's 2011. A young woman is covered in mud and blood, and she's staring at you from a beach.
It's 1996. Lara Croft, eh, lads? Eh? That Lara Croft, she's a bit of alright. I'd let her raid my tomb, right lads? Hah, yeah lads! Phwoar, eh, lads? She's got a lovely pair. A lovely pair of pistols! That game she's in isn't bad either, is it lads? Not that I played it much, right lads? Too busy playing with something else, am I right lads? Ha ha!
Back in 2011 again, and the beach girl is nothing like that hyper-breasted polygon beast, but still very obviously Lara Croft. She's younger than she was in 1996's Tomb Raider, but she shares that woman's aristocratic air and long dark hair. Years of gaming's growth as a medium have reduced her once pendulous breasts and widened her too-thin hips; years of graphical refinement have removed her sharp edges – a change Crystal Dynamics are welcoming with this prequel. They call Lara 'softer', and reference a layer of 'puppy fat' (though you'd be hard-pushed to find it on her leggy character model). Instead of a bladed object to be jabbed into unwilling tombs, new Lara is – according to the game's art director – 'an aspirational figure', and a 'character you want to believe in.'
She won't be the same wisecracker, but she's still got the spark of someone who'd willingly put herself in harm's way to nick the mystical X of Y. The reboot sees Lara shipwrecked on an island, stuck without means of escape after her boat – the Endurance – is torn apart at sea. She'd joined the crew to make her name searching for treasure with an ex-Royal Marine, aiming for a spot off the coast of Japan. Waking up in a straitjacket hanging from the ceiling, it quickly becomes obvious that her new home is otherwise occupied by a range of nastier people. I'd also expect – if the series lineage is to be respected – the island to be packed with an entire biodome's worth of endangered beasts and creatures to murder.
Lara's 'softness' has been reinforced by her palpable vulnerability. As the screenshots show, the island's no haven. Nearly every image that we've seen of the game shows Lara in some sort of pain; those that don't cover her in blood and mud, that is. There's an emphasis on cruelty: Lara's trials on the island are set to be 'physical and emotional torture', and her first act, freeing herself from captivity, involves burning her restraints and falling rather clumsily onto a metal spike. It won't just be inanimate objects out to shiv Lara, either. One of the island's more homicidal inhabitants accosts her early in the game with whispered offers of help: if Lara lets her guard down and stops struggling against his grip, he sinks a knife into her heart and yanks her to the ground, continuing to creepily coo in her ear. In island terms, imagine it less like a resort paradise, and more like being stuck in Ibiza with a stag party. With less stabbing.
As in Ibiza, survival is the prime concern. Tomb Raider drops the traditional linear mission route familiar from the older games in the series, favouring an expansive, open world. Base camps are dotted over the island, each providing access to upgrades of various flavours. New weapons are an obvious addition – the game's story allowing Lara to nick them from unsuspecting enemy encampments or dredge them from the boat's wreckage. The combat will be one of Tomb Raider's biggest series shifts, dropping the over-helpful auto-lock system that turned battles into ungainly backflip marathons, and instead gaining a challenging free-aim system that better befits a third person viewpoint.
Most interestingly, Crystal Dynamics have also promised that Lara's acrobatic skill can be increased. Potentially, this could point to the existence of multiple routes through the game: those choosing to hone Lara's gunplay may have a distinctly different route to those bouncing around the open environment, keeping out of bullety harm's way. Each area won't necessarily bring a fight. Already a few of the game's puzzles have been detailed, including one that demands a gun-less Lara set a pile of explosive barrels on fire to make an escape route from a crumbling catacomb. There's a torch nearby, but transferring its flame to the blue touch paper on the barrels proves impossible thanks to an interfering waterfall. Blunt force is the way to go instead, and Lara is able to jury rig a metal cage, forcing it to whack into the barrels and clear a path to safety.
These puzzles don't look to have multiple solutions, but will force players to consider the island's basic elements and its physicality in solving problems. So, too, will you have to consider its ecosystem. The need to collect food and water in order to survive gives the island a primal, realistic and dangerous feel. It's taken 15 years and a painful puberty, but this is Tomb Raider, grown up.

The books may be used for in-library reading, but may not be taken home. You will need your instructor?s name, the textbook title, a library card and photo ID to use reserve items.
Where can I find books?
There are three different ways to find books at the Germanna Library!
- You can look up in-house print books using our online catalog.
- You can look up e-books and audiobooks by accessing the library homepage and searching Safari Books (technical ebooks), OverDrive (audiobooks and videos), and NetLibrary (multidisciplinary ebooks). [Remember to you must first sign up for a free NetLibrary account while you are on campus!]

How can I find articles?
Our online journals and databases contain thousands of full-text articles from newspapers, scholarly journals, popular magazines, reference sources, and more.
How do I research a particular topic?
We have several tutorials that will help students learn to navigate the research process in many common academic fields. Check out our LibGuides for these helpful compilations.
Student ID Cards
Where do I get a student ID?
At the beginning of every semester, emails are sent to your student email and posters are put up around campus announcing when photos will be taken for ID's. A photo session is done on each campus at each Center. If you want to have an ID done, it MUST be done at the beginning of the semester. ID's are not required of students at GCC. There is a $5 replacement fee if you have had an ID done previously.
Email email@example.com if you have questions.
Advising and Counseling
How do I find my advisor?
All new students are advised by the counseling center staff at the Locust Grove and/or Fredericksburg Area campuses. During the first semester, students with a declared major (excluding nursing/allied health) are assigned a faculty advisor and included in the advisor?s Blackboard advising shell. Students can find pertinent information in the advising Blackboard shell and can locate the contact information for their individual advisor. Nursing students seeking an advisor should contact the nursing office for more information.
How do I request a transcript from Germanna?
Students can request an Official or Unofficial Transcript online through myGCC VCCS SIS: Student Information. See further instructions here.
If the student has been out of school for a long time, they can also fax us the information using this form Request for an Official Transcript.

If a certain quarterback from Kiln, Miss. — who remains one of the NFL's all-time leaders in touchdowns, yards and vogueing — doesn't play this season, the Minnesota Vikings will drop from being a Super Bowl contender to just a playoff team (maybe).
I'll avoid typing the quarterback's name because I understand we're all at our limit, and have been since the Drama King's first heart-wrenching, tearful, yes-I-really-mean-it-this-time goodbye press conference in 2008.
But the potential ripple effect in the NFL from his retirement can't be overstated. Here are the absolute five NFC teams that can go to the Super Bowl this season. I know this for a fact because I think even had former Falcons great Jeff Van Note convinced of my top five during our conversation at Falcons' practice Wednesday. Either that or he was just worn down by the 217-degree temperatures or I was starting to hallucinate.
The NFC's top five teams (assuming the diva retires).
♦ 1. GREEN BAY: It's easy to forget Aaron Rodgers was in only his second year as a starter, yet he threw for 30 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. The Packers are also strong on defense. So what happened last season? They lost twice to the Vikings, which was the difference in them having home field in the playoffs. They had to travel to Arizona and lost a bizarre game that was closer to pinball than football — 51-45 in overtime. They won't have to worry about Kurt Warner (five touchdowns) if they play again.
♦ 2. FALCONS: I know what you're thinking: a little high. (The team, not me.) But no (to both). First of all, I think you can rank these five teams in almost any order. Here's what stands out to me: The defense will be significantly improved. It will be more aggressive and get burned less often, given the additions of cornerback Dunta Robinson and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, as well as the return of defensive tackle Peria Jerry and safety William Moore from season-ending injuries. (The team's broadcaster, Wes Durham, had a great analogy: Jerry and Moore are like redshirt freshmen.) The offense will benefit from Matt Ryan being in his third year, when young quarterbacks often take a big step up, and a more motivated running back, Michael Turner, who is in far better condition than a year ago.
♦ 3. DALLAS: Tony Romo got a lot better last year when Terrell Owens wasn't in the huddle. Probably not a coincidence. Dez Bryant will either turn into one of the NFL's greatest receivers or be a complete grease fire. The Cowboys have talent, but they also have weaknesses. The pass defense was surprisingly average statistically (20th overall) despite two Pro Bowl cornerbacks (Mike Jenkins and Terence Newman). I also question whether Keith Brooking can again play at the level he did a year ago. Also, something is wrong when a team this talented gets absolutely bulldozed in the second round by Minnesota (34-3). That shows a possible lack of mental toughness, an indictment of coach Wade Phillips.
♦ 4. NEW ORLEANS: It's difficult to criticize a team that just won the Super Bowl. But it's noteworthy that no NFC South champion ever has successfully defended its division title. As for the league title, the run through the Super Bowl and the parties that follow can wear mentally on players. The offseason is shorter. It's difficult to recapture the same fire and chemistry. Opponents are all suddenly gunning for you. A lot of things went right for the Saints last season. They're still very good, but logic says they're just not going to be great again.
♦ 5. NEW YORK:The Giants won their first five games last season and then forgot how to stop anybody. They went 3-8 down the stretch, allowing 40 or more points five times. They'll be better this season. They signed free agent safety Antrel Rolle for $37 million and added veteran safety, Deon Grant. A number of the pieces from the Super Bowl team three years ago are still in place.
So there's my top five in the conference. What do you think? Am I overrating the Falcons or do you agree?
NEXT POST: Rookie Sean Weatherspoon. If other NFL scouts considered him such a loudmouth and borderline obnoxious, why are the Falcons so high on him? I think you'll enjoy the comments from general manager Thomas Dimitroff, Weatherspoon and teammates.
UPDATE: Here's the link to the Weatherspoon column.

In years past, I've been burned badly every time I pick the Falcons as contenders.
They'd win one year and I'd say, "Man, we're on our way up! Perennial Super Bowl contenders!"
Then they would fail to have a winning season the following year.
But this year…this is our first year after the curse!
We have had two back to back winning seasons!
This is a new day!
So I will make a bold prediction….
Drum roll please…
The Birds will play football this year!
What can I say…I've been conditioned…like Pavlov's dog.

I think you're overrating our Falcons, but man, I hope you're right.
August 5th, 2010
5:53 am
I'm inclined to say that are a bit high. We are banking on alot of things going our way. People staying healthy (which never happens) and we don't have the guys to step up in all areas to fill in. But it would be nice. Realistically I think the order is thus.
1. Green Bay (Duh)
2. Dallas (Romo is improving and they did go to 2nd round)
3. New Orleans (Hard to count out anyone led by Brees and Payton)
4. Atlanta (Improving but still needs a little more time)
5. New York (This is essentially the same squad that won SB in 07, might sneak up on folks)

August 5th, 2010
6:58 am
If everyone stays healthy (which is the key) they have a real shot at the NFC title. Personally, I think Matt Ryan is going to have a monster year – just a hunch.
August 5th, 2010
7:13 am
You guys do this every year, what are you doing, trying to sell newspapers or season tickets, either way you always go overboard with your hometown predictions. Now, lest be just a little realistic for just a moment.
No NFL Team is going to cooperate with your predictions, therefore, I hope none of the Falcon Players read your article because the last time I checked the Falcons did not even win the NFC South or even make the playoffs. So lets start by wishing they play well within the division and compete well with the 2 other divisions they are scheduled to play. If they can beat New Orleans both games during the regular season then that would mean they can win the NFC South.
The second season known as the playoffs presents even greater challenges, therefore, they will again have to play exceptional well every week to make it to the NFC Championship Game and then ultimately the Super Bowl.
Super Bowls are not won in the Press, therefore, lets just settle down for a moment and win the NFC South 1st and besides all teams look good during the first week of practice and get hometown cooking from the local press. Just think, your predictions change too much for me to actually take you serious.

I think the skins should replace the giants. If their offensive line improves Shanahan and McNabb will pay great dividends. Also the Vikes should be no.1 because "Diva" will show up two weeks before kickoff.
August 5th, 2010

Falcons might be about right. Giants at #5 are too high. I would go with Vikings at that spot, even without Favre. With Favre, maybe fourth.

10-6. I think Ryan is a bigger question mark than everyone thinks. This year will tell us the true story.
August 5th, 2010

Me thinks the Falcons have a great shot at the SB barring severe injuries. Schedule plays into our favor and we have all of our returning starters on offense coming back, including Douglas.
August 5th, 2010
7:41 am
One problem with this.. You have to beat the Saints to get there. Good luck with that.
August 5th, 2010
7:42 am
Last year, the only thing that I wanted out of these Falcons was to win 9 games. They did that. This time, I just want them to make the playoffs and hopefully win one of those games when they get there. I still think that we're one season away from the Super Bowl, but I'd be very happy if they made it all the way this year!

I forsee an NFC champ game with Atlanta vs Dallas, with Atlanta crushing Dallas to finally pay them back for that 78 collapse game.
August 5th, 2010
8:23 am
Atlanta at # 2 is definitely a homer pick. Green Bay and New Orleans belong with the remaining teams you picked as well as the rest of the NFC as long-shots. Turner weight loss will cost the team some yards. I don't see him banging like his first year. He has no viable backup. It's not a good sign that our over-paid free-agent signee, Dunta Robinson, has a early hamstring injury. Why do the Falcon's still have Finneran on the team. I could go on and on, but because I have a job and life I don't have time to write a dissertation to support my claim.

Great post Dr. Warren. This year will tell if Matt Ryan is as good as he is hyped up to be. And, if he is then the falcons will be contenders. I still believe you all needed another WR and a better back up RB and i am still not sold on your pass rush. If Ryan have a great season and if your pass rush is goos then the Falcons may go 12-4, but I believe matt Ryan is not that good and your pass rush will suck and you gave too much money to a CB that did not have one INT last year, therfore 6-10 for 2010. My Steelers will crush you in game one, Carolina and New oreleans will sweep you and the Beangals will embarass them.

well, maybe Matt Ryan doesn't have to be a playoff choker like Manning. History does tell you that his numbers(Manning) are very average in the playoffs. As I can recall, Eli Manning, Roethlisberger, and numerous others have done it quicker than the so-called best QB.

You mean to tell me that you don't think the Falcons have a shot of beating the Saints? I mean last year the Saints won both games by a combined total of 11 points. An eight point loss in NO and a 3 point loss in ATL. To me, that sounds like they played with the all-world team even though the Falcons defense wasn't even that good last year. So, imagine an improved defense and offense.
August 5th, 2010
9:16 am
The Vikings were a 10 win team the year before Favre and still are a threat with or without him because they have something that most teams don't have. A devastating pass rush that can cause havoc to a lot of QB.
August 5th, 2010
9:20 am
cattle dawg, I don't think the Cowboys will win the NFC with Tony Romo, who is "top tier" in pay only. I don't dislike him, but just feel sorry for him in playoff games.
The bigger the game, the more he shrinks.

I'm with Dr Warren. Ryan was less than average last season. Sophomore jinx? Don't know if he was the problem, or the play-calling.
Hopefully, if Turner and Harry Douglas get back to form, and somebody replaces Jenkins, who cannot be depended on, maybe Ryan gets better.

EAST LANSING (WKZO) -- Duke used a big second half to pull away and earn a 71-61 win over MichiganState in the Midwest Region semifinals. Seth Curry poured in 29 points to lead the second-seeded Blue Devils, who have a meeting with top-overall seed Louisville on Sunday for a spot in the Final Four.
A dumpster and a few pieces of furniture were burned, but there was none of the rioting in East Lansing that has followed big games featuring Spartan teams in the past in East Lansing. There were a few sofas and futons that were lit in the streets near student apartments.
At 2:20 p.m. Eastern, the Michigan Wolverines and Florida Gators battle for the South Region from Arlington, Texas. The winner of that matchup meets Syracuse in Atlanta next weekend.
