FERRIDAY—The Lakeside Warriors' season came to an end Friday night with a 41-0 loss to the Ferriday Trojans. Both teams needed a win to keep alive their slim hopes for a Class 2A spot, and the Trojans might have solidified their spot, while the Warriors head into the off season.
"We just didn't play well at all," Lakeside head coach Terrence Quarles said. "We made some impact in some areas early in the game, but we couldn't get it going for us. Ferriday is a pretty good team and they have a lot of talent and playing them at their place is a tough thing to do. We wanted to give them a run for it, but we didn't play well."Subscribe to Read!

Ritz Camera on Santa Cruz Avenue in Menlo Park is expected to close at the end of October, according to store staff.
Ritz Camera & Image LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy about two months ago, leaving the future of about 800 stores nationwide in question.
The exact date the store will close has not been set; it depends on how rapidly items inside the store sell, said a store employee. As you can see in the photo, the store is trying to shed inventory as quickly as possible.
An entrepreneur from Denver has shown interest in buying the store, although nothing has been put into writing.
The store's lease is up at the end of next month.

Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.

PLAYERS: Adrian Peterson
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings
Packers fans aren't going to let Adrian Peterson forget just how close he was to breaking Eric Dickerson's record. Nine yards short. That's it. This banner was spotted by KARE-11 (Minneapolis-St.Paul) reporter Keith Leventhal at a Packers bar earlier today. It's been making the rounds on the internet today and new developments are surfacing that Peterson himself might be seeing the banner: Minneapolis' FOX affiliate caught wind of the story and it appears they will be running a story on the bar/banner during the 5:00 p.m. local news. They'll be reporting live from Lambeau Field so if any Packers fans want to make an appearance, head on down. The Vikings head to Lambeau on Saturday night (8:00 p.m., NBC) for their NFC Wild Card match-up. BONUS: Angry Vikings fan tweets threatening to tear the bar down.

April 16, 2010
Ann Francis has been a fixture on campus for 14 years. Her commitment to the students and their drive to promote environmental sustainability is a major aspect of her involvement. In February, Francis assisted EcoRollins with its Valentine's Day plant sale during the Campus Market/Street Fair. Just last week she was awarded "Advisor of the Year" at the Student Leadership Awards. This month, she's busy promoting Rollins' Earth Day 2010 celebration, which will take place Thursday, April 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the walkway at Olin Library.
An Environmental Studies graduate of the Hamilton Holt School, Francis has been part of the environmental studies department for the past eight years. She's also one of the original members of the Committee on Environmental and Sustainable Issues (CESI) which formed in fall 2008 and focuses on making the campus more sustainable.
"It's an exciting committee to be part of," Francis said.
She began serving as the advisor for EcoRollins in 2002 and the student-run Sustainability Program (formally known as the Recycling Program) in 2000. Known around campus for coordinating the Bicycle Library Program and the recycling effort at Rollins, the group has steadily expanded. In 1999, there were two recycling coordinators in the organization. Now there are eight sustainability coordinators!
"I'm so in awe of some of these students," Francis said.
One of the goals of the group is to increase sustainability efforts on campus without adding any additional cost. Efforts such as default double-sided printing, single stream recycling, and shutting off unneeded lights and AC units all help to contribute to this student-run initiative.
EcoRollins and the Sustainability Program was recently awarded the Mowbray House as its residence hall for 2010-11. With the selection of No Impact Man as the RCC book for incoming freshmen, there is a huge push for sustainability, so EcoRollins will be working closely with Explorations on a "greener" orientation.
"We'll be working even more closely with the RAs, House Managers and Peer Mentors to 'green up' the residence halls and the lives of incoming freshmen and all undergraduate students," said Francis.
A variety of sustainable elements – like the use of native plants, a planting garden and low VOC paint – will be incorporated into Mowbray House.
Hopefully, the members of the Rollins community will continue reducing and reusing as well as recycling. With the right outlook, the can-do green thumb attitude that Francis cultivates will continue to grow.

So Rick Santorum went three-for-three on Tuesday night, sweeping up Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado in those presidential contests. Bad news for Newt Gingrich, but good news for Mitt Romney – even though it may mean a longer slog.
In particular, Santorum's strong showing could be another enticement for Romney, who makes a short visit to Atlanta today, to make a large commitment in Georgia as we get closer to March 6 and Super Tuesday.
Romney still needs to show he can win in a Deep South state – the Republican party's geographic base. And no, Florida doesn't count. A revived Santorum, especially one who does well in blue-collar Michigan on Feb. 28, could weaken the Gingrich campaign here by drawing away evangelicals.
That would give Romney, who won most of metro Atlanta in 2008, a decent chance to win a plurality in the state.
The campaign of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich this morning unwrapped an endorsement from former U.S. Sen. Mack Mattingly and his wife Leslie. Mattingly, who served from 1981 to 1987, defeated Herman Talmadge to become the first Republican senator from Georgia in modern state history.
Meanwhile, ahead of an appearance in Atlanta today, the Mitt Romney took a shot at Gingrich's idea of a moon colony: "Speaker Gingrich just doesn't seem to get it. Our staggering national debt and recurring deficits are jeopardizing America's fiscal future – yet he attacks critics of his moon base proposal for being 'cheap' and 'stingy.' "
The AJC's Politifact Georgia today takes a look at Newt Gingrich's claim that President Barack Obama wants to raise the federal gas tax by 25 cents on the gallon.
Truer words were never spoken by Donald Trump, as he discussed his endorsement of Mitt Romney on CNN this morning:
"The sad part about the world in which we live, if you do well in television you maybe can get elected to something. But that doesn't mean you're going to be any good at what the big picture is which is running the country."
The 2010 Republican race for governor of Georgia lives on. Former state senator Eric Johnson on Tuesday night Tweeted out the following reaction to the resignation of former rival Karen Handel from Susan G. Komen for the Cure:
Handel hurt Komen & helped Planned Parenthood. Next time, don't play silly games. Just say you are getting out of bed with a scorpion.
A knot of young Turks in the state House are attempting to postpone those regional transportation referendums scheduled for July 31. From Jon Gillooly and the Marietta Daily Journal:
State Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Acworth) and other lawmakers introduced legislation Tuesday that would postpone the Transportation Investment Act referendum for two years to address what Setzler calls "fatal flaws."
Setzler, who chairs the Cobb Legislative Delegation, said he and state Reps. Rich Golick (R-Smyrna) and Matt Ramsey (R-Peachtree City) have filed House Resolution 1350 and the enabling legislation, HB 938…"
None of these three lawmakers are backbenchers. Ramsey, you'll remember, sponsored last year's illegal immigration legislation. Should this package move any distance, it would pose an interesting challenge to House Speaker David Ralston.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's spokesman says she'll veto a measure opposing her board's decision to allow Georgia to dredge the Savannah River and expand its port. From the Associated Press:
The measure viewed as a rebuke of the Republican governor is on its way to her desk following yet another unanimous vote.
The House voted 105-0 on Tuesday to approve a tweak the Senate made to the bill. The same chamber voted 111-0 two weeks ago.
The proposal is designed to help undo the Department of Health and Environmental Control's decision allowing Georgia to dredge the shared river.
The measure retroactively suspends the agency's ability to make dredging decisions. The Senate approved it 37-0 last week after inserting a clause specifying the suspension applies to the Savannah port project only.
While we're on the topic of South Carolina, the latest Winthrop Poll of adults living in that state had this to say:
Almost 30 percent (29.3 percent) could not accurately identify who the current vice president—Joe Biden—is. Almost one-quarter (23 percent) couldn't remember who the vice president is; 3.3 percent supplied the incorrect name; and 3 percent named Dick Cheney.

Gingrich is no doubt thrilled to get an endorsement from Mattingly, who has been out of politics for a quarter-century. One has-been endorsing another. These clowns are still living in 1986.

@Honested That sounds nice in theory, but given the political/racial environment in GA is even a realistic option. In addition, creating "centrally connected commuter rail" would take metro wide consensus and over a decade to complete.
I agree though that rail needs to at least be in the mix for the northern I-85 and I-75 tier (I don't know much about south metro area traffic so I'm containing my comments to problem areas I do know about), because trying to use roads along to ease congestion in those areas is not a realistic option. However, those are exactly the areas with the most political opposition to rail or any non-road traffic reducing solutions.
That being the case, I should probably not care and let those people up there fester in the muck of their own creation, but their traffic impacts the economic viability/strength of metro Atlanta as a whole…so their problem is our problem.

Romney barely campaigned in those yesterday caucus voting states – they only have impact in the media attempting to make a runaway primary season a horse race. Romney has the nomination wrapped up. Georgia does not matter – it is an open primary state where Democrats will vote for the weakest Republicans (Santorum, Paul, and Gingrich). It is where Gingrich served from as Speaker of the House. Romney will fund raise here and make a token effort, but Super Tuesday has bigger delegate prize chances in combinations of other states.

Ol' Mitten will come to town with his ears laid back, a wild look in his eyes, his nostrils flared and a snarl on his lips as he stakes out a position just to the right of Atilla the Hun — trying to establish his conservative bona fides.
And, Ol' Newt is so good at spinning his poor performance, if he could incease the speed of his spin just a bit — to say 186,000 MPS, he might end up back in the arms of his second ex-wife.
Lord, I love this Republican/Tea Party Smack Down!

Rick Santorum gives me the willies and not in a good way.

For those of you stupid enough to think we are going to get any thing out of TSPLOST look at the bidding on the air port concessions. All of Reed's buddies won everything & Maynard Jackson's family which is worth over $50,000,000 are considered disadvantaged. The Maynard Jackson Paving Co. will be the prime contractor for TSPLOST.
February 8th, 2012

Santorum needs to go sit down in the corner somewhere.
Becky, I ask the same question every day. Whenever I read about some of the legislation that they want to pass, I have to wonder what woman would vote for these clowns.
February 8th, 2012
10:59 am
@Centrist I think Romney will be the nominee, but he has yet to win a Midwestern or Southern state and I wonder if that says something. Is this just an anomaly, or does it portend a real problem for him with the GOP base (he'll win Va, but since he's the only non-Ron Paul candidate on the ballot that won't tell us much)? Furthermore, turn out for these elections has been pretty low which seems to suggest that GOP voters are less than enthusiastic about their choices.
Also, I don't think you should discount the vote of people who don't support Romney as mainly media driven…it comes of as petty to say that people who don't vote for Romney, do so because they are suckers to the media. Just because someone doesn't vote the way you think they should doesn't make them a rube.
February 8th, 2012

I understand a lot of people don't support romney.
We will be voting for the President in November.

@Ga Values You think TSPLOT won't work because the bidding process is rigged to benefit the connected and wealthy. Okay, I got it. That aside, since TSPLOT is no good what is your idea for funding solutions to the Metro area's congestion problem…do you think maintaining the status quo is the answer?

Santorum now has more wins than Romney. What a weak Republican field.
Republicans don't like Romney, how in the heck is Romney going to get independents to vote for him if Republicans have to hold their nose while voting for him?
February 8th, 2012
11:13 am
Really glad to see Santorum doing well. However I dont think it will mean that Newt will lose Georgia.

A sales tax (a statewide sales tax and not the bogus regions) will be necessary. The PLAN will need to be statewide (and not the bogus regions).
Of course this will require a legislature that has visited or lived in cities with region wide, functional public transportation (yes I realize they don't have that in Myrtle Beach or Panama City) and an understanding public transportation IMPROVES the whole region.
Right now we seem to be stuck with a group stuck in the past and the mindset of 'we took over in 2002, now what'. The strong tilt toward balkanizing every county into little toy cities and building larger arterial roads through every neighborhood.
If we attach ourselves to ideas that have already failed miserably, how can we hope for improvement?
February 8th, 2012

honested….Please do….A vote for Obama in Georgia equals a wasted vote.

UGA 1999-I'm curious. What do you like about Santorum?

Note Mr. Gingrich didn't remind voters about that 1996 gun control deal he made in Congress.

Yes, please elaborate. I haven't paid much attention to his views.

Any vote for any of these clowns in the GOP field is a wasted vote.

February 8th, 2012
11:24 am
DJ…..Really? Haha. We shall see. Come November. Lets see how Obama does when unemployment stays at 11.5%, Gas prices are at $4 and we have $15T in debt. Why would anyone vote for him.
February 8th, 2012
11:26 am
I'd actually take Obummuh over Santorum. I know the capabilities of the O in his fight to destroy the Constitution and capitalism, and how to fight his efforts.
But how do you fight the efforts to destroy the liberties of U.S. citizens by someone who actually believes he's doing it on behalf and in the name of a myth?
February 8th, 2012
11:29 am
@UGA 1999 And a vote in the general for the Republican presidential nominee in GA isn't as equally pointless? The state is populous/conservative, whoever the R prez. nom. is they are going to win. So what's your point?
February 8th, 2012
11:33 am
I'm hearing crickets. Can't find one thing you care to elaborate on in your adoration of Santorum?
February 8th, 2012
11:34 am
There is a sickness. NOPE….in all of the polls the general election race is virtually a tie with a generic republican candidate. I want to see how Obama is going to defend his record in the debates.
The point is that you live in Georgia. There is a 0% chance that Obama is going to win Georgia. SO, your vote is pointless.
February 8th, 2012

It takes a person whose family tree doesn't have a fork in it to pay into Newt's B.S.

Santorum's wins do more harm to Gingrich than to Romney.
MO turnout was very low as compared to 2008 (as was CO) but MO's depressed turn-out was impacted by the fact that it was not a true primary vote.
Since CO and MO will be considered swing states in the general election, you have to ask the question, did those states swing far to the right due to an increase right-leaning voters, or does it represent a simple shift within the existing GOP base?
February 8th, 2012
11:39 am
Or is it that MO will be following it's normal pendulum and swing Democratic this time?
February 8th, 2012
11:41 am
Believe me when I say I have watched what you call "debates". It is very interesting and telling you cannot find one thing to comment on that you like about Santorum. Me thinks you like him because he is a white guy that wears sweater vests. Ring true?
And there is no such thing as a vote not counting. My vote will cancel your vote. See how it works or did you miss that day in Civics 101?

Low information voters make terrific cannon fodder. Elect a Republican and march them off to yet another war.
February 8th, 2012

Do you remember the thrice divorced, self-confessed adulterer's speech and promise to America on the night he was humilated in Florida? "Forty-Six go go". Gonna contest each and every one and "the people" will decide this thing.
Guess Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota are not part of the remaining "forty six" because Speaker Moonbeam sure didn't show up in those three states. Also, I guess "the people" are not "the people" in Colordao, Minnesota and Colorado as those "people" did not vote for the politician that "pals around" with Nancy Pelosi.
It looks like to me the true conservate base of the republican party has found their candidate and the candidate who believes Represenative Ryan's economic plan is "too radical" would best serve the party by returning to lobbying Congress and hawking books.
Historians will long puzzle over how the republican party lost the 2012 general election to an incumbent president who has been as disappointing as President Obama. It now appears that it is no longer a question of whether President Obama will be re-elected, it a question of whether or not he will exceed his electoral victory of 2008.

1. Unemployment is around 8.5 percent now. Are you talking about nationwide or just the state of GA.
2. The president is not to blame for high gas prices. I had to explain that to several people who wanted to blame Bush when gas prices were high as hell back in the summer of 2008. POTUS does not set the prices.
I already know that Obama won't win GA, because the people here will vote Republican, no matter how jacked up the candidate is.
February 8th, 2012
11:45 am
One thing I like about Romney is that he does seem to be focused on economics.
I could care less about Santorum. I don't want the government involved in social issues in the first place, so I can't vote for a Theocrat like Santorum.
February 8th, 2012
11:46 am
this guy lost in his home state; probably because his views harken back to the dark ages…
February 8th, 2012

February 8th, 2012

February 8th, 2012
11:39 am
Or is it that MO will be following it's normal pendulum and swing Democratic this time?
I suspect with a larger turn-out in March, Santorum will have to hand this win back over to Romney.
How that bodes for the general election, I don't know. My gut tells me a swing to Romney favors the Democrats. Unemployment there matches the national average.
February 8th, 2012

DJ Sniper-you have to watch them as a drinking game!
February 8th, 2012
11:53 am
LOL@ Becky!!!! I'm sure that makes it much more fun! I may have to try that!
The only reason I want Romney to get the GOP nod is so that the right wing evangelicals will be pissed off. I really want this unofficial relgious test to fall by the wayside.

After uneven performances by the Top 10 girls on Tuesday night, American Idol's Top 10 boys from season 13 did a somewhat better job on Wednesday night. There weren't any outright train wrecks, but judges Jennifer Lopez , Harry Connick Jr . and Keith Urban -- O.K., mostly Harry -- did criticize the contestants several times for such basic things as -- gasp! -- not singing in tune.
The Top 10 boys, selected by the judges from a field of 15, were Caleb Johnson , C.J. Harris, Emmanuel Zidor , Sam Woolf , George Lovett , Dexter Roberts , Alex Preston , Malcolm Allen , Spencer Lloyd , and Ben Briley . You may recall that on Tuesday night, Ben was chosen to move on in the competition by America's vote. Left out in the cold, but invited to try again next year, were Briston Maroney , Casey Thrasher , Ethan Harris , Jordan Brisbane and Maurice Townsend .
Here's what happened Wednesday night:
Rocker Caleb Johnson got the show off to a strong start with a version of the Faces' "Stay with Me." Keith called it "killer," and said Caleb was "so cool." Jennifer raved, "That was some rock star ish, right there," and called it "amazing."
C.J. Harris performed "Shelter" by Ray LaMontagne while sitting on a stool playing guitar. Keith said that C.J. was a mixture of the late Dobie Gray -- the guy who sang "Drift Away" -- and young blues artist Jonny Lang , while J-Lo said C.J. made her smile. Harry said that C.J. had "great talent," but criticized his intonation, saying he constantly went sharp on the notes. C.J., who had a root canal on Tuesday, just seemed happy to be there.
When Harry announced that the judges had chosen Emmanuel Zidor, he stressed that a big part of the contestant's appeal was his ability to entertain, possibly to stave off any criticism of his voice. Emmanuel performed the Emotions' "Best of My Love," but got so into the performance that Harry, while praising Emmanuel for being "too much fun," accused him of getting "out of control" and added, "Don't forget to sing." Keith similarly asked Emmanuel to "reign in" his tendency to be over-the-top. Jennifer seemed so concerned that people would be put off by Emmanuel's less-than-stellar performance that she asked him to sing a bit of Mary J. Blige 's "I'm Goin' Down" a cappella, to remind people how good his voice is.
Sam Woolf performed David Gray 's "Babylon," accompanying himself on guitar. Keith said Sam's voice was "money," and praised his song choice; Jennifer said his vocals were "natural" and "pure." Harry called the performance "really good," but said he hoped that Sam's confidence would grow if he continues in the competition.
George Lovett sang Bruno Mars' "Grenade," but Harry said the performance "spun out of control," adding, "I've heard you sing better." Keith didn't think it was the right song, and Jennifer advised George to control his vocal runs.
Country boy Dexter Roberts, who for the first time performed without wearing a baseball cap, sang "This Ole Boy" by Craig Morgan . Harry said he was a solid and likeable performer who did a nice job, and noted that he seemed like he would fit right in among today's crop of male country stars. However, both he and Keith wondered what Dexter can do to make himself stand out among all those other male country stars. Jennifer praised Dexter for not being nervous at all.
Quirky Alex Preston, who plays 11 or 12 instruments, sang "Volcano" by Damien Rice , a song that Phillip Phillips tackled in season 11. Keith called it the best song choice of the night, and said it was "really cool," while Jennifer told Alex he was in his own lane, and thought he could go far in the competition because he played interesting songs that not everybody might be familiar with. Harry praised Alex's musicality and guitar-playing.
Malcolm Allen sang Anthony Hamilton 's "Comin' from Where I'm From," and Harry had to tell him to "focus on singing in tune," noting that he was continually sharp throughout. Jennifer said he should have showed more emotion in a song like that, and advised him to "bring the heart and soul." Keith said it would have been better if he'd stripped the song down and performed it without the band.
Ben Briley played electric guitar and sang "Soulshine" by the Allman Brothers. Keith praised Ben's voice, but wasn't crazy about the guitar playing. Jennifer said he "comes alive" onstage, and Harry said Ben did a great job. Ben mentioned that his great-grandmother was "one of the first women to perform at the Grand Ol Opry," and that his mom was the " Taylor Swift of the '70s," but didn't mention their names, so the audience was left wondering just who these talented women were.
Spencer Lloyd sang The Fray 's current single "Love Don't Die." Randy Jackson advised him to sing with his guitar, but Adam Lambert advised him to ditch it, so he did. Jennifer said he had star quality and "moved the crowd," but Keith didn't think it was Spencer's best performance. Harry was pretty harsh, telling Spencer, "This was not good," and saying he should go back to singing songs like "Say Something" by A Great Big World , like he did during Hollywood Week.
Thursday night, we'll find out which boys and girls got America's votes, and who'll be making up the Top 10. The judges will then each choose their Wild Card picks, rounding the finalists out to a Top 13.

Prepare to get crazy-excited about Silent Hill again. Guillermo del Toro, Hideo Kojima, and Norman Reedus are all involved in the next installment.
Konami has posted the Tokyo Game Show 2005 trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on the official Web site for Kojima Productions, the development studio responsible for the series.
Written and produced by Hideo Kojima, Peace Walker is the first true Metal Gear Solid sequel to go, and it looks console-worthy.
Konami's marking the franchise's 25th anniversary with a PS3-exclusive bundle that spans the entire franchise.
Only just announced at the company's Gamescom briefing, P.T. or "playable teaser" is a horrifying and brilliantly ambitious effort to promote the relaunch of a classic horror franchise.
Sony continued to pile up the new game announcements at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Here are the most noteworthy details from the briefing.
Snake is awake in Metal Gear Solid V, a combination of The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
Hideo Kojima says he has no plans to bring any Metal Gear Solid game to a non-Sony next-gen platform, but he has high praise for the Xbox 360.

"I find myself at the end of this paragraph and noting that you now seem to be a new player, who didn't raid before Cataclysm, never raided progression 25 mans yet seem to have a very strong opinion about which you believe is the harder format. Bias much?"

I rerolled realms in the middle of Icecrown, I just did the 1st wing of ICC(Few guild mates switched mains over and I had less time to play at the time so I leveled a few alts). Aside from missing out on ICC, I've raided from the end of BC up until today. Both 10 and 25 man. The changes to the lock out system compelled us to go 10 man.
My current position is 6 of 8 in DS, due to the xmas break and all that, little slow getting back in the grove of things now. The guild I am in is sort of a sister guild to a 25 man raiding guild, they're working on heroic fights now and have lost 6 players during a heroic Morchok kill.
Not every boss is the same of course, just as not everyone's raiding experience is the same. Overall on 10 man normal raids, if you lose a player or 2 your odds of wiping go up by a lot compared to 25 man normal raiding.
It should be pointed out that Blizzard has said the same thing when asked about a 10 man version of LFR, 25 man raiding is more forgiving of players compared to 10 man.

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best. Caramelize honey-coated figs on the grill to intensify the sweetness and top with crème fraîche.
- Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 4 fig halves and 1 tablespoon sauce)
- How To:
- Read Reviews
- Write a Review
- Save Recipe
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 8 large fresh figs, cut in half lengthwise
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1. Preheat grill to high heat.
- 2. Brush honey on cut sides of figs. Lightly spray cut sides of figs with cooking spray.
- 3. Place figs, cut sides down, on grill rack, and grill for 3 minutes or until grill marks appear. Remove from grill. Combine crème fraîche and 1/2 teaspoon sugar; spoon over figs.
Crème fraiche is a sweet and slightly sour, nutty substance about the thickness of sour cream. It was traditionally made from unpasteurized cream left at room temperature. You can buy pasteurized versions in many grocery stores: it is sold in the dairy or cheese sections in little plastic tubs.

Fallout 3
game review by
CPF Mfan
The Best Damn RPG I've ever played
OK, I'm going to to make this quick: Fallout 3 rocks. Unlike many other RPG's, everything you do has a realistic consequence. If you kill someone, they stay dead, you get unique dialouge options, and an entire settlement may change. You are free to play the game however you want, either being the paragon of goodness or a
Complete Monster
(I usually play as something in between, but I'm almost always on the good end of the karma scale). This is Fallout 3's greatest strength, but another thing I like is that many of the quests are morally neutral, and nearly every character in the game can give you one. I have mixed feelings on Fallout 3's combat system though. It tries to combine FPS and turn based combat, and does it really well, but there is one problem: Turn based combat is
exciting. It sometimes kills the tension in otherwise awesome battle scenes. The over reliance on the V.A.T.S system and the fact that most guns can't hit anything beyond 15 feet also greatly limits the skill you can actually use in combat. Regardless, Fallout 3 is an incredibly immersive, varied, and overall awesome experience. It really sucks you in, and I highly recommend it. 9/10.
Are you new to video games, or is this just the first western RPG you've ever played?
VATS can't truly be considered turn-based combat, and it's perfectly possible to play through the game without it.
comment #5503
220.127.116.11 20th Dec 10
Not really. Myabe its just the
version, but the controls are really sensitive and none of the guns go past 10 feet unless you use V.A.T.S. Turn based combat is probably a bad word for it, but it is still pretty boring. I would've loved it if it was used sparingly, but its basically the entire combat system.
comment #5515
CPFMfan 21st Dec 10
It's probably because of
controls then. It's a lot easier to play

184.108.40.206 22nd Dec 10
And I love the VATS system. I find it more exciting than the usual RPG-ware which I find nice, though not what I want every game to be. I suppose it goes to what you are comparing it too.

If you haven't noticed already, Johns Hopkins Medicine has formed a social media network on its Web site including everything from blogs to YouTube. You can watch videos of cancer researcher Elizabeth Jaffe or Nobel laureate Carol Greider, and view patient and employee or construction updates on our official YouTube channel; make friends on Facebook with the Johns Hopkins Children's Center or follow tweets from the Institute of Basic Biomedical Sciences; read blogs from HR Vice President Pamela Paulk on her kidney donation or from physicians at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center on their patient care experiences. Join our online communities at hopkinsmedicine.org.
Get Moving!
Open enrollment is here, which means it's also time to fill out the annual Health Risk Assessment form, or wellness profile. Last year, 85 percent of Hopkins' employees who filled out the HRA reported getting less than the recommended amount of exercise. The surgeon general's report on physical activity states that 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most days of the week is beneficial for health; you don't need to run a marathon to get results. Even breaking up the 30 minutes into smaller periods of 10 minutes each counts. There are many ways to add moderate activity and still lose weight and get healthful benefits—walking, gardening, biking, dancing or even washing the car—so pick something you'll enjoy.

I run PUGs quite a bit since returning to the game. Our guild is very small, so having the right people (with 7 of us active, it means the entire guild!) online at any time is rough.
I normally play Retribution so you can imagine what getting a group is like. Let me correct that - I prefer to play Retribution but I normally play Protection so I can easily find - and control - a group. If you are a tank, you have more leeway into choosing with whom you group.
First thing - don't assume bad gear means a bad player. A lot of players running heroics are gearing their off-toons before Wrath. Help them out - karma is a wonderful thing. I have tanked for people and then later been invited to come to Hyjaal in my Retribution gear.
Secondly - don't be a jerk. Common sense 101 applies here. If you are a DPS class, don't light up the mobs on the PUG tank and then complain about aggro. I don't know how many times I have tanked with coattail riders in even T5/T6 gear who think that gear means they can show off. A good player respects the limitations of the other players and compensates. Last night I tanked for some folks in full T5 and some T6 gear (while in my Kara/Badge gear) and they knew to hold off until my threat meter was spiked. Same applies if you are the tank. Just because you are the tank doesn't mean you can be an ass. Again, common sense.
Third - find a core group, especially in raiding guilds. A lot of them won't play their mains on off-raid night, and want to gear their alts. You can easily build a group of competent players.
Fourth - use humor. I find a bit of dry wit in the LFG channel will attract the like-minded, mature player.
Fifth - be sure you have fun. No one likes someone screaming about a missed pull. Best run I had recently, one of the players wandered the wrong way and caused 2 wipes. Expensive, but it turned out he had a new baby and was distracted. We ended up blowing through the rest and had a blast. (Side note - this was another invite to a raid later on with his main.)

Hetaloid!AmericaXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool."Ah~!" you cried softly, begining to loose your balance. You waved your arms around like an idiot, trying to get your balance back until slowly you began falling."Oh my gosh! Someone help her!" (Friend #1) ordered as she ran to try and catch you. You squeezed your eyes shut as you began descending.Suddenly, you stopped falling and something was pulling on your arm. You opened your eyes and followed your shoulder, to your arm, to your hand, to the other person's hand, up their arm, to thier shoulder and to their face. Before you was your Hetaloid, half of him peaking out of the crate he was in."Uh... Um-Uh...." you whispered as your new America Hetaloid pulled you into a standing position and got out of the box. He stood next to you, lifted you up bridal style and carried you

The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You gasped as you lost your balance and fell backwards off the stepping stool, letting out a gentle cry as your back hit the ground.Suddenly (Friend #3) apeared in front of you, only upside down because you were lying on the ground, "You okay?" she asked."Y-Yes, I'm fine." you replied, getting up and having (Friend #1) brush the grass off your back.You climbed back up the stepping stool and looked at the blonde head of hair that you had seen a few seconds earlier."W-What is it?" you asked, confused."It's a Hetaloid, silly." (Friend #2) said, patting your back, "So what do you think?"You looked at it a moment before smiling, "I think it's very kind of you. Thank you, (Friend #2).""No problem!" she smiled, obviously proud of her gift.Her dad got the Hetaloid out of the box
Hetaloid!N.ItalyXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You fell off, but you were quickly caught by your friend's father."Careful, there." he chuckled, pushing you back into a standing position.You forced a giggle and turned to (Friend #2), "W-What is it?... A person?" you blushed."No, silly!" she laughed, "Its a Hetaloid!"A Hetaloid?" you asked, tilting you head slightly to the side.She put her hand over her eyes and squealed, "Don't make that faaaace~! It's too cute~! Anyway, a Hetaloid is basically an android of a character from the anime Hetalia." she explained, grinning as she took her hand away from her eyes."Oh..." you trailed off, peeking inside the box again. There was a paper attatched to the lid of the box which you had pried off and you reached down to grab it. You read the title and it read "Taking care of your It
Hetaloid!RussiaXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You shut your eyes tightly and reached out for something so you wouldn't fall. You ended up grabbing onto the crate and stopping yourself from fall. Once you regained your balance, you peeked inside the box again and saw soft-looking light hair. It looked like a very light.... beige color, almost white."It's a Hetaloid~!" (Friend #2) cried, throwing her arms up in the air proudly."Th-Thank you very much, (Friend #2)." you stated, grabbing the Directions off the bottom of the lid of the crate. You climbed bak down the stepping stool and sat down in the grass, reading.You had only gotten to the part about him having a limited warranty in case he breaks when the directions were pulled out of your h
Hetaloid!ChinaXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You practically fell off, luckily you were able to gain your balance back and stood up. You looked inside again and saw brown hair, tied back in a pony tail. A Hetaloid!"Y-You got me a Hetaloid? Thank you so much~." you smiled widely and took the Directions off the bottom of the lid of the crate and got off the stepping stool so (Friend #2)'s dad could take your new China Hetaloid out.You read the instructions, while the others read over your shoulder. The activation and the building of the China Towns might cause issues though."Well, _____... What are you waiting for?" (Friend #1) said, awaiting you scream to awaken China."O-Okay... Here goes..." you took a very very deep breath, "China, I choo
Hetaloid!JapanXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You came entirely to close to falling off for comfort. You just had that mini heart attack, like the one you get when you lean too far back in your chair. This was mainly because you were not expecting to see a person in the box (Who would've been expecting a person? //shot)."Woah, ____!" (Friend #3) called out, readying herself to catch you if you did fall.You straightend yourself up and cleared your throat quietly, "I-I'm fine, really."You looked back down at a head of silky black hair and stared at it curiously. Then you noticed the white piece of paper attatched to the top of the crate and took it off to read it. It read "Taking care of Your Japan Hetaloid". You turned to your friend and smiled from ear to ear."A Japan Hetaloid, Oh you shouldn't have~." you said in that
Hetaloid!PrussiaXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You squeaked as you lost your balance and began falling backwards. The sudden shift in gravity made your stomach churn, but you reached a hand out and gripped the box firmly. You pulled yourself back up and clutched your chest from the mini heart attack you just had."Nice save!" (Friend #2) laughed.You giggled quietly and nodded, your (h/l) (h/c) bouncing slightly with the movement of your head. Then you turned your attention back to the thing in the crate. You cautiously peered back inside and looked at it curiously."Um... What is it?" you asked quietly."What do you mean 'What is it'?" she looked at you like you were crazy, "It's a Hetaloid, duh!"Your (e/c) eyes widened, 'A Hetaloid!? She got me.... A Hetaloid!?' You held back a squeal in delight as you looked at her with
Hetaloid!AustriaXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool."Ah~!" you cried softly as you fell backwards.Suddenly you were caught and pushed upright again. You looked behind you to see who it was. (Friend #2) was behind you laughing, "Careful, clutz.""Sorry..." you giggled a little.You peered inside the box again, seeing a head of darker brown hair. You noticed immediately the Wonder-Kink that stubbornly stood up and giggled again."Like it?" (Friend #2) asked with a cocky grin.You smiled and nodded a yes. Her father came over an took the Hetaloid out of the box. It was Austria. He handed you the Directions and you read them carefully. Oh God, you were basically supposed to become his servant.You sighed, but smiled and thanked your friend for the wonderful gift
Hetaloid!GermanyXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool.You almost fell off, when you had the smart, split-second idea of grabbing onto the crate. You quickly reached out to grab onto the crate, but ended up grabbing the paper taped to the underneath of the lid of the crate that you pried off instead."Eek!" you squeaked as you fell backwards, gripping the paper. Your back hit the ground with a "thud" and you whispered, "Ow...""Oh my gosh! ____, Are you okay!?" (Friend #3) asked, helping you up."Yeah, I'm fine. It wasn't that high of a fall..." you said, climbing back up the stepping stool and peering inside again, seeing a head of blonde hair.You looked down at the paper that you had grabbed onto and began reading it. At the top it read, "Taking care of your Germany Hetaloid"."Oh, Germany..." you mumbled as you skimmed through t
Hetaloid!EnglandXPopular!Reader part 1You rush down the stairs, grabbing your jacket and bolted for the door."Hold it right there!" You heard your mother's voice from behind. You groan and slowly turn around, slumping your shoulders. You tried to make a getaway from your studies to make it to a friend's party but, as usual, your mom intercepted you. "Where do you think you're going?" She folded her arms over her chest, walking towards you with a glare. "It's past 8 PM...""Mom..." You huffed. "I promised (friend's name) that I would come to her party but because you had me doing stuff, I'm late!""Don't give me an attitude! Ugh, what am I going to do with you...?" Your mother grumbled, rubbing her temples. You pouted and leaned up against the wall as you and your mother had a glare off. You smirk in triumph as she looks away, sighing bitterly. "For heaven's sake! Fine! Go!""Sweet! Later, mom!" You called back to her as your ran out the door, grinning. Victory was sweet.As the door slams shut, your mother lets out a heav
Hetaloid!PrussiaXNerd!Reader part 1"Which one would you like?" You father asked you, pacing behind you with a magazine. He was listing off types of Hetaloids that you could get since they thought you would like a sort of "play mate" since you were an only child and constantly moving around. Your family had just moved into this new home a few days ago. You didn't mind it too much though, you were content with online interactions instead of actual face to face, it gets tiring having to deal with people.You were on the couch, playing some video games on your computer as he paced back and forth. You sighed and just replied, "Any, I really don't care. I'm fine with none as well, dad.""Don't think you're being selfish, ____! Your mother and I want to get you one. Ooh! What about a Liechtenstein? It would be like having a little sister." You dad said, continuing to wear the floor down with his pacing."Dad." You said, sighing once more and now turning to face him. "I'm fine, I don't need a Hetaloid."Your dad slowly lowered
Hetaloid!EnglandXPopular!Reader part 2You sulked back home after getting a fairly angry call from your mother. You had your jacket over your shoulder, as you enter your house. And of course, your warden was standing there, arms folded over her chest and glaring at you."What time is it?" She asked in a growl."Jeez mom, you asked me that 20 minutes ago." You rolled your eyes, attempting to walk past her but she steps in your path. You let out a frustrated sigh. "Look, I'm sorry mom, I lost track of time when-""When what?" Your mother spats, cutting you off.You glare at her, knowing she was suspicious of your activities. You growl, staring her down with your (e/c) eyes. "When I got caught up in some drama. Just a whole bunch of teen drama, mom..." You both stand there, glaring into each others similar eyes for a good silent minute before your mother growls, stopping off."Do as you wish!" She yelled, before slamming her door shut. You felt a pang of guilt but it was quickly washed away by anger and frustration. You scream
Hetaloid!JapanXFriendly!Reader part 2You reach your home with the wounded Hetaloid. "Hang on a minute." You said to him as you helped lean against the side of the house, taking out your keys from your pocket. Kiku watches as you unlock the 2 different locks before opening the door and helping him inside. You quickly close the door, locking it, before leading Kiku to the couch.You let your breath escape you as you stood up straight, looking him over. He wasn't too heavy but helping him for a certain amount of distance can be tiring.He noticed you staring at him and blushes, lowering his head. "I-I am sorry for being in such a pathetic state
" He apologized, nodding his head as a bow."You and apologizing!" You huffed, placing both your hands on either side of his head against the back of the couch. His face turned a bright red as his mouth gaped open, quivering as if struggling to speak. "Stop saying sorry for something like that! Every time you apologize for nothing, I'm going to slap your wrist!" He continued to s
Hetaloid!AmericaXShy!Reader part 1"Happy birthday, _____!" Your friends cheered as you flipped on the lights. You jump a little, startled by the surprise. You smile as everyone scramble out of their hiding spots to greet you. You were known for being a very shy person but thanks to your friends, you've been starting to grow out of your shell.One of your friends came out of the kitchen with a decent sized cake, candles decorating the top. They were followed by a Japan Hetaloid wearing an apron, which made you a little jealous. Many of your friends had Hetaloids but you never had time for one, though to be honest you could never decide on who you would buy. Japan Hetaloids seemed very nice but keeping them entertained would be difficult since the only manga and anime you've read were from friends, you were afraid of losing a Canada Hetaloid even though you two would be alike, the England Hetaloid seemed too troublesome, and the America... The personality is way too much for you."Make a wish so we can give you presents!
Hetaloid!AmericaXShy!Reader part 3You jog up to the entrance of your brother's old room and peek in. America was on the Star Wars bed, a pile of super hero comic books with him. He was furiously reading through one as he notices you and happily grins at you like a little kid in a candy store."Dude! This is paradise! Your brother is awesome! This room is perfect! You sure he isn't going to use it anymore?" He asked you, continuing to read the comic book.You nod, smiling a little. It was adorable how excited he was about your brother's old comic books. "My brother moved away a few years ago to attend a college." You reply, looking around the room in nostalgia. Your parents never had a reason to move any of his stuff that he left so it remained the way it was when your parents moved out, leaving the house to you (they wanted to live simple as a sort of retirement)."His loss!" America laid down, his head hanging off the bed, as he continued to read the comic books. You were glad he was entertained.You fidget a little b
Hetaloid!EnglandXPopular!Reader part 3England and your mother sat in the kitchen, enjoying tea and some small snack, your mother glancing at the clock, frustration was obvious on her face."That daughter of mine, where is she?" You mother grumbles, gulping down the tea. England shifts in his seat uncomfortably. He had tried to calm her down for an hour but he had realized it was useless. All he could do now was drink his tea and pray you come back soon."Oh! I need to clear out a room for you! Wouldn't be proper to have you in the same room as my daughter, even if you are a robot." She said, getting up and heading up the stairs. England puts down his tea and follows your mother."Please don't bother, ma'am! I can clean up the room myself and make do with anything you have prepared!" England protested, trying to get her to go back to the kitchen to finish her tea."No, that won't do! It's fine, Arthur!" As your mother says, passing by your room, she glances through the open door and lets out a heavy sigh. "I wish she would
Hetaloid!AmericaXShy!Reader part 8Ash took occasional wrong turns due to your lack of confidence to speak up but eventually you arrive at your friend's house. You both get out of the car and you lead the way to the front door, Ash takes out a small toolbox from the back seat and carries it with her. You glance back at Ash, who smile and simply nods. You turn back forward and take a deep breath, closing your eyes. You felt nervous seeing America again, even though it's been only a little less than a day. You raise your fist up to knock on the door, your eyes still glued shut but you heard the door swing open.Your eyes open and travel up to meet bright blue eyes. Your eyes widen as your cheeks burned. America grinned, panting a little. He brushed some of his blonde hair from his face and laugh. "I knew it! I knew it was you!" Before you replied, he scooped you up in his large arms and hugged you tightly. "Dude, I missed you!""I-I missed you too." You managed to squeak as he twirled you around, just like the
Hetaloid!EnglandXPopular!Reader part 5You had collected the attire you would wear to the festival but then another T-shirt caught your eye."When did I have this?" You picked up the dark blue T-shirt, a British flag painted on it. You smile a little and slip it on quickly to see if it would fit. It was perfect. "Well, I think I'll wear this one." You giggled softly and changed back into your previous shirt. You wanted to take a shower before going. You hid the British shirt under the skirt you had chosen and left the room.As you opened the door, you felt it run into something part way. You heard a soft grumble as England moved away from the door. "Were you waiting for me?" You asked, raising a brow.The English Hetaloid's cheeks changed hues slightly as he pouted and looked away. "O-of course not! I-I-I just happened to be standing outside your room when you opened the door!" He said, obviously flustered.You couldn't help but giggle and started heading to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower. Just don't w
Hetaloid!EnglandXShy!Reader-Part 1You eyed the stepping stool before stepping up to the top and peering inside the box. The only thing you saw was a full head of hair before you let out a quiet squeal and jolted backwards on the stepping stool."Eep!" you cried weakly as you fell backwards, your back hitting the ground mercilessly."Oh my gosh, ____! Are you okay?" (Friend #1) asked."Y-Yes, I'm fine." you said as you stood up and dusted yourself off. You climbed up the three-step-stool again and peeked inside yet again."Try not to fall off this time." (Friend #2) laughed a bit.You giggled, "I won't."As you looked down, you saw a head of blonde shaggy hair and smiled. Then you noticed the Directions hanging on the bottom of the lid that you pried off. You took them off the top and read them.He seemed like a pretty interesting Hetaloid.

… that the critics will always tell us to "be more Christian" while simultaneously mocking the core doctrines and morals of the Christianity.
That is real hypocrisy.
Judging by the picture and the title for this post, you'd probably be wondering where I'm going with this..
Because, considering the bad rap Christianity has had throughout the years, one would think, why even be a Christian when you can live your life without having to worry about being persecuted while having to follow some "binding" moral code that holds you to such an unbelievably high standard?
Such a question might even take 73 books and 2,000 plus years of tradition to answer it in detail. If you're looking to be Catholic, that is. (;
But the fact of the matter is that there just seem to be so many sacrifices and trials Christians have to face.
To which I'd reply, oh yeah, no doubt.
But is being a Christian really worth all this trouble?
The answer, in simplest terms?
Oh yeah.
Just ask my homies in Heaven.

Sheriff's Office Seizes Marijuana, Cash
On Friday, February 18, 2011, agents with Louisiana Probation and Parole conducted a residence check on one of their probationers, Henry Arbona (Slidell – DOB: 9/15/66). After discovering a large quantity of packaged marijuana in Arbona's house, they notified the Sheriff's Office.
Narcotics Task Force detectives seized approximately 15 lbs. of high-grade marijuana, approximately $12,000 in cash, and a small amount of M.D.M.A. ("Ecstasy") from the residence. Arbona was arrested for possession with intent to distribute Schedule I CDS (Marijuana), possession of Schedule I CDS (MDMA) and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The estimated street value of the marijuana as it was packaged is approximately $80,000.
Arbona has a long history of narcotics violations, dating to 1989. He is currently being held in the St. Tammany Parish Jail in lieu of $125,000 bond.

What's more beneficial: Revolution or Evolution?
All of us had seen the so called Egyptian revolution on our TV channels, whom Karl Marx would, without wasting a fraction of second, recall as ideological state apparatuses trying to perpetuate the ruling class's point of view. But how many of us actually had thought over the need for revolution? Revolution, Revolution and Revolution is always talked about but the reason, the real one, is never debated. The Egyptian revolution geared by social media hypes ended up not different than a social media debate which pretty much clarifies the wrongly perpetuated need for a revolution. Turn the page, and think over evolution. Isn't evolution what we need? Is this the age of revolution or evolution? It's not 1789, it's modernly-trimmed society of 2013. do they need revolution? will they accept revolution? With media at hands, as Marx calls it, won't the ruling class turn the revolution toward its hidden goals?

Oct 7 2013: Talha! Revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a planned and deliberate action taken to change the order of existing things or rules. Revolution happens against something. It is Rebellion. But, on the contrary, Evolution is the natural development of something and is a slow but steady process. It is mild by nature. Computer technology has gone through several evolutions.
Both have their own merits and demerits. If your house is on fire, you wont even think about evolution Talha, or will you ? When An instant 'Turn Around' is required to stop the fire or to run away.
When there is a thorn in the foot, second thorn is needed to get rid of the first thorn ! - This is Revolution (Instant)
Once thorn is not there, now Dressing can be think of to get rid of the pain ! - This is Evolution (Slow)
So, its obvious, as in case of Egypt, revolution was needed to stop the president to get ultimate powers... :)
Oct 9 2013: Hi Bryan :) you have came with very good objectionable example.
The question asked by Talha was in the prospectus of Human experiences and i think my answer fits well within this. But your example belongs to something that is beyond human experiences. Let me explain this too...
Yes, Punctuated Equilibrium do not believe in gradual progress and believe in sudden split of species, which is the opposite theory of gradual progression of species (Darwin's evolution theory). Bryan, this kind of conflicts occurs when we mistakenly compares one thing with two different aspects-
1- One aspect, as the thing is known to us (Within our Human experience).
2- Second aspect, as they really are by nature in subtle form (Out of Human experience).
Nature does not behave as it seems to us. Its behavior is totally opposite at subtle level. These Revolution and Evolution concepts are man made definitions and has nothing to do with 'how nature works'.
You know at Quantum level, a photon do not only behave like a particle but also like a wave. Mystery is still unsolved . Human Experiences is full of dualism in every aspects. We behave, live our life and think in duality. We make theories and concepts with our perception and past experiences. But this is not the way to solve the mystery of Nature. Nature is not bound to follow our theories, this or that.
Thus, since Evolution and Revolution is the matter of Human Experience. My answer is right in that aspect. :)
Oct 9 2013: First, punctuated equilibrium does not believe anything at all, because punctuated equilibrium is a concept, not a person. Second, Darwin's theory is not the end-all and be-all of evolutionary theory. It is no more and no less "in" or "out" of "human experience" than is punctuated equilibrium. Insisting that evolution must be gradual and excluding punctuated equilibrium is nothing but arbitrary and based on entirely irrational criteria. If it is evolution, then it uses all mechanisms of evolution. If it is gradualism, then SAY "GRADUALISM" and stop mis-using the term "evolution".
