XCOM ENEMY UNKNOWN Review
Summary: A massive benchmark port, adapted for iOS devices.
3.23 Gigabytes! Is everything about this title massive? 2KGames bring XCOM ENEMY UNKNOWN to iOS!
Never did get round to playing a console, or PC version. Vaguely recall seeing the boxart, but there was a time when all I seemed to play was Call of Duty and Angry Birds! I can only assume, it was around then, this award-winning GOTY slipped me by. So (pro), I get to share my review of XCOM as a standalone, not a port. (Con), I have no other version to compare it to. Whether these are actually good or bad things, I'm not sure. Maybe at a later date, I can get round to playing the game on a different platform. Then at least update this review to make a comparison.
So, what is XCOM? Well, set in the seemingly not too distant future, Aliens have invaded Earth and so international governments have come together to create an elite paramilitary organisation, XCOM. As Commander, you are bestowed with the incomprehensible task of defending our planet. You must build and maintain a fully operational base and take command of troops on the battlefield against an unknown enemy. With the world on your shoulders, the human races' fate is literally in your hands.
Part turn-based tactical RPG, part time management and one heck of story. I was really taken aback with this game. It's like nothing I've ever played on a touch screen device before.
Upon launching the application, you are treated to a dramatic action-packed cinematic intro. Giving you a taste of whats to come. Where as the video did have the 'wow' factor, I felt it would've been preferable to be able to skip it on future plays. I immediately thought Gears of War and Halo. Later, even Alien and Starship Troopers. Not to take anything away from the games uniqueness, it is very much it's own everything. The sci-fi inspirations are just noticeable.
During my first go of ENEMY UNKNOWN. Given the price, I did set my expectations pretty high.
Hoping I was going to enjoy every spent penny. Yet, I couldn't help get that niggling thought out of the back of my mind. Was this game going to be worth it's weight? Or sadly, reveal itself to be another half-hearted, rushed port by a big developer and publisher? Letting the brand work it's black magic.
Only a matter of minutes in, after being genuinely impressed by the intro and cutscenes. The console quality graphics were present, coupled with decent audio, ( ambient soundtrack and above par voice acting. ) With which my only qualm was: Some of the soldiers are from different countries. Yet they all have American accents? Nevertheless, I began feeling a little reassurance that this could indeed be a premium title and that maybe, I was in for a treat.
Given the above, my next thought was how good XCOM would look via Airplay. Then I remembered, that's actually not what this is about. This is about taking a home console/PC game and making it portable, cutting as few corners as possible.
Due to the fact, I don't think I've played a turn-based strategy RPG since one of the early Final Fantasies. I welcomed the tutorial with open arms and was thankful it progressed with the story.
I struggled a couple of times, but for the most part, all is explained well. Anything else you can figure or find out. Navigating and interacting worked well ninety-nine percent of the time. The odd awkward movements and camera angle glitches, but you get them with the best of games. I don't mean to sound like I'm stating the obvious here, but games like this were made for touch screens. Yes, it was adapted especially, but everything is laid out neatly on screen and once you become familiar with the icons, layout and actions, it feels so natural.
No sugar coating here! When one of your soldiers die, they die. No extra lives, no continues, no nothing. From your very first mission when you are introduced to Central Officer Bradford. Who appears to have Vulcan emotions …exactly. The harsh reality of what is occurring sets in and the only emotions being played with here, are yours. You have choices to make, decisions to take, both tactically and morally. Even after only your first mission, are you less advised about what to do on the battleground ,and soon your hand is no longer held at all. Leaving it up to you alone, to outwit the increasingly smart AI.
Due to the snowballing difficulty level of ENEMY UNKNOWN.You will no doubt take advantage of the save game slots. XCOM also has iCloud backup, which is a nice feature I hope more developers adopt in the future.
The turn-based strategies you use to complete missions will be familiar to those of the genre. They play a vital, but comparably small part in the story. Yes, you will answer distress calls of alien abductions and investigate crash sites. However, most of your work is done from HQ. Your troops get promoted by how well they performed in their previous mission. Each promotion unlocks new abilities. Of which you have a choice. You decide who fights, what their loadout is, as well as customisation options. Soldiers also need hiring and training. When your men and women get hurt, or die and heroes will fall, you will need replacements.
After each mission, you will recover alien specimens and technology. Interrogations can be made, autopsies ordered and research undertaken. These are among many of the tough decisions you will encounter throughout the game. For however you decide, determines how the game will play out and ultimately end.
Time management. Staff are awarded with some missions but the rest is part of your workload. You have a base to run. Extraterrestrial weapons and armour can also be researched, maybe leading to it's production and maufacture. Monitoring the enemy is vital, so you must setup satellite uplinks around the globe to enable ufo sighting reports. Then send ships up to shoot them down when needed. Distress calls appear to come in threes. Where will you protect? Who will you sacrifice? Your base will eventually need expanding to make room for more workshops, laboratories and the like. Finances are to be managed wisely. What will you build first? What military equipment is needed? What are your priorities?
It can all become a little overwhelming. Especially as you can really become involved with the story, even attached to the characters. The best advice I can give is, take your time and think about every move you make. This is not some mindlessly addictive quickplay mobile game. The game can end in two possible ways. Upon completion ( no spoilers here ), or upon failure. 16 nations united to form XCOM. Lose eight of them and it's game over. Nations are lost, when they pull out. They pull out when their nations' panic level is at maximum and they have not been supplied with a satellite, or/and given help. It's up to you to try your upmost to not let that happen, yet you can't be everywhere at once. Panic levels rise and fall according to where you help and where you don't.
Not that this game can't be enjoyable. It is, it just draws you in. Makes you think, makes you feel. I've been madly addicted to many iOS games, but I don't ever recall actually getting lost in one like some of my favourite console games.
There is Game Center integration with leaderboards and 48 achievements to unlock. Setting toggles are also present, as is an option to sign-up to my2K. Doing so, you are awarded with four XCOM HEROES to play as. Each with what look to be extremely beneficial abilities.
Now the question many want answering is: Is XCOM ENEMY UNKNOWN on iOS worth the unusually high £13.99 price tag? Well, that's up to you. Have you already played the game on another platform and would like a portable copy? Do you like turn-based strategy games and so may be interested? Well, chances are if you're reading this, you are, yet undecided. Here is some more information you may be interested in;
It is a console quality game made portable. A PC game in your pocket.
This is a universal application.
Contains no ads or iaps.
There are two main options on the main title screen. One is Resume Game ( obviously only highlighted when applicable. ) The other is Single Player. To me, this suggests a Multiplayer update may be coming. Otherwise, why not just use Start Game?
The replayability value: There are countless hours of gameplay to be had, even if you only play this game through once. However, it's one of those games, you will most likely come back to again and again. To either up the difficulty level, or maybe try different tactics?
If this game was on a portable handheld gaming device, it would cost substantially more.
It is a battery drainer and sometimes your device may get warm. This has become a common occurrence with iOS devices running graphic intensive games such as this. The processors take a hammering and the poor battery life is drained significantly quicker than usual. As I've recommended in another review. Just keep your battery backup case, or charger close!
Where as right now, this game is possibly unique, as regards port quality and cost. If developers continue to bring games of this stature to the App Store. I can see the prices being a little more expensive, as to what we are normally used to. I'm just saying, it may be something to expect. Ok, the iPhone, iPod, iPad and iPad mini are not handheld gaming consoles. They are so much more. With optional Bluetooth controllers coming soon and more developers supporting them. If the games continue to improve. They may even end up competing with the 3DS and PSVita and yet will still be more affordable. No doubt, there will be the copycats trying to cash in on the success of XCOM. I guess it's up to ourselves to kindly inform each other of what's worth buying and what to avoid. In this instance, personally, I was pleasantly surprised and glad I didn't miss this game the second time round. I hope this evaluated review has been informative enough to help you make up your own mind.

WASHBURN, WI (AP) - A northwestern Wisconsin woman is charged with reckless homicide in a crash that killed her two-year-old daughter and injured three other children.
A criminal complaint says 23-year-old Chelsea Cadotte was the only one who was restrained in the family's SUV when it crashed in Bayfield County last July near Washburn.
All four children were thrown from the vehicle after it rolled several times.
Two-year-old Mariah Gordon died as a result of her injuries.
Four-year-old Myley Gordon is in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. Six-year-old Carter Gordon suffered a broken hip and fractured leg.
The defendant's sister, 15-year-old Erica Gonzales, suffered broken bones and internal injuries.
The Duluth News Tribune reports a second-degree reckless homicide charge and three counts of first-degree reckless injury have been filed against Cadotte.

Jaguar has been attacking the market just like the big cat that it's named after for the past year or so. First we saw the mighty F-Type Roadster bow in with up to 495 ponies, then we heard rumblings of a 3 Series rival, and just recently we saw the unveiling of the F-Type Coupe and the 550-horsepower F-Type R Coupe .
Now Jaguar has its sights on the recently announced Porsche 911 Targa , as it is looking into a targa version of the F-Type. According to the head of design at Jag, Ian Callum, the model is under consideration, but not official yet, and that that Jaguar needs to make certain the low-volume targa model will not drain the coffers, as only about 10 percent of its sales would be targa models.
This targa model is rumored to feature a hardtop, unlike the 911's "high-quality fabric," that will retract rearward to give the occupants a clear view of the sky.
With this information at hand, we turned to our artist to make us a rendering of what an F-Type Targa would look like. Let us know what you think about this potential model and our rendering in the comments below.

Gothic Chandeliers
Indulge In The Dark Side
If you want to make a big statement in your entryway or foyer then a Gothic Chandelier may be your best choice. These substantial lighting pieces usually all have one or a series of arches that are pointed at the top just like a gothic cathedral. These may be seen in areas as simple as the shades or diffusers of wall sconces, may be the main theme in a large iron Chandelier with pillar candles. The finishes on lighting arms and platforms are almost always a wrought iron look. Gothic Chandeliers have simple lines, or may be in the shape of that familiar cathedral arch.
There are some other styles of Chandeliers that would fall into this category style and you may want to visit our sections on Faux Candle Chandeliers, Old World Medieval Chandeliers and Candle Chandeliers for some additional inspiration. No matter which type of Gothic Chandelier you choose it is sure to enhance the space it is in.
In addition to the theme of cathedral arches, you will frequently see stained glass, or frosted glass diffusers and shades to enhance the light given off by the piece. If the bulbs are exposed they will usually be candelabra bulbs for an authentic candle look. However, if the bulbs will be completely covered you may find that regular bulbs will better suit your needs. Traditionally for up and down lighting, you will find Gothic fixtures good choices for task lighting next to chairs, or on side tables next to couches.
Many of these large Gothic Chandeliers have pillar candelabra lights in them for an old world look. These are a particular kind of faux candle that has large white diffuser sleeve that will glow with the bulb inside. They may be 3 inches in diameter and 6 to 8 inches tall. These types of pillar candles on Gothic fixtures are generally for up lighting and ambient room illumination. They will be perfect for dining rooms, entry ways and foyers.
If you are trying to light a darkened hallway, you may want to get matching wall sconces and flush mount chandeliers to complete your cathedral styling. There are also desk, floor and table lamps available in this same style that will help you coordinate the look of the room. Since many of these Gothic Chandeliers can be large, and if they have wrought iron they may be quite heavy. If this is the case then you might want to have them, professionally installed.
If you don't have tall ceilings, you may want to choose a smaller flush or semi-flush mount Gothic Chandelier. These will leave you with the required 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the chandelier. The weight will also be greatly reduced, making them easier to install. If you will be using a Gothic fixture for your dining room or over a bar, make sure that there is at least 30 inches of space above the table surface, so it doesn't get in anyone's way.

Director D.J. Caruso and star Shia LaBeouf have paired up again for Eagle Eye, a techno thriller that tries to meld social critique with popcorn thrills. The result is an unsettled and unsatisfying mix that gets by on the energy of some breathless action sequences until it resolves the film's central mystery.

With its excessive violence, sex, voyeurism, language and dark worldview, Eastern Promises is a film that takes moviegoers in a very sad direction. All families should walk away from this one. Fast!

That we are to be moved by the big-screen version of Elizabeth Gilbert's yearlong journey of self-discovery in Eat Pray Love is absurd. That the memoir on which it's based (and is reverent to) has become a phenomenon is downright disturbing.

Did you enjoy Mel Gibson in Payback or Ransom? He's on that level in Edge of Darkness. It's a decent comeback, if those movies are your idea of a good time. But it's truncated rather than taut, sluggish rather than satisfying, and dull rather than edgy.

Predictability and willing suspension of disbelief are forgivable if there is an element of overriding tenderness. In the case of "Eight Below," there certainly is. A sweet love story and charming comic relief draw the audience to forgive the corny predictability and drawn out sequences of dogs acting like selfless humans.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a fascinating, nearly perfect film. It's always wonderful to tie history to entertainment, and the history of Europe in the 1500s is very exciting. The movie unfolds the age-old conflict between Protestants and Catholics, and shows how each side is praying for victory.

"Elizabethtown" could have used much more focus on the subjects of God and eternal destiny. But its good-natured look at characters coping with grief and loss results in enough laughter and memorable moments to compensate for its narrative shortcomings.

Bravo for a movie that reminds all of us that living our lives with purpose and examining our moral and ethical behavior in the choices we make, ultimately affects others around us. The Emperor's Club is brilliant!

Enchanted is a completely adorable, delightful movie whose packed screening audience of little girls ages four to fourteen gave it a rousing applause at the end.

Filmmakers like Bill Ewing understand that audiences love watching true stories packed with drama, danger, intrigue, and spiritual inspiration. "End of the Spear" will likely attract scores of families who want to so inspire their children to make a sacrificial impact in this life.

Despite getting bogged down in details that don't always add up, one can't ignore its greatest strength: plenty of fascinating big ideas.

Through these five areas of focus, Homes and Hope for Heroes is developing a program of sustainable housing solutions for Maryland veterans.
Aware of our continuing work with Any Soldier, Inc., Habitat for Humanity of Massachusetts, and our recent green office initiative, Habitat for Humanity of Maryland contacted NFM, Inc. with a proposal for this initiative. Excited to be part of a program that combines a variety of NFM, Inc.'s passions, David Silverman, President and CEO of NFM, Inc. was eager to make a donation:
"NFM, Inc. is delighted to become a partner with the Habitat for Humanity of Maryland's Homes and Hope for Heroes Program. As a company, NFM, Inc. is dedicated to giving back to our community. Habitat for Humanity of Maryland and the Homes and Hope for Heroes program not only allows for us to help build homes for individuals in our community but it also allows us to show our gratitude to our veterans and their families. They sacrifice their lives for our freedom and safety—it's the least we can do to honor their service. I personally would like to thank Habitat for Humanity of Maryland for allowing NFM, Inc. to become a partner in their new Homes and Hope for Heroes program; we are excited to get involved with such a great organization."
NFM, Inc. is looking forward to many more opportunities to participate with Homes and Hope for Heroes as they continue to grow.

How the Long John Index Works
The Long John Index is a 'not-scientific-whatsoever' method of measuring when, and if, one should be wearing a pair of thermal long underwear, known more commonly in the Dominion of Canada as 'Long Johns". The Long John Index originated in the Arctic Capital of Edmonton Alberta, in the second decade of the 21rst Century. It is used mainly for edutainment and gambling purposes.
The Index runs on a scale from 1 to 5; 1 being the lowest, and 5 being the highest. The Index corresponds to weather conditions, including air temperature as well as that Wind Chill, which was invented so people can brag about living through -68 degrees, even though it was really only -31 degrees. The Higher the number ( or rating if you will ) the more your very survival depends on wearing a pair of Long Johns.
The Long John Index ratings are as follows:
1 – Low/Wimpy - Temperatures between 0 and – 10 degrees Celsius, No Windchill.
Long Johns shouldn't be needed, unless one is spending 7+ hours outside with no touque and standing so still they might be mistaken for one of those creepy living mannequins. Any movement will generate enough body heat to not need Long Johns. Hell, blinking will generate enough body heat to keep you warm. If you are wearing them at this temperature, hang your head in shame, and go back to Vancouver.
2 – Moderate – Temperature between 0 and – 10, with measurable Windchill.
Long Johns probably a good idea if you are spending more than an hour or so outdoors. You shouldn't need them for short commutes or jaywalking. Probably best to start diggin em out of the ol underpants drawer, as if it gets any colder, you'll need em!
3 – High – Temperature between -10 and – 20.
Long Johns should be worn for being outdoors for anything more than half-an-hour. You may also want to look into some for your pets. And, if it gets any colder, you may start sleeping in these things, so best to get a backup pair.
4 – Crazy High – Temperature between – 20 and – 30.
Long Johns should be worn if you are outdoors for more than 10 minutes. It's bleeping cold. If you aren't wearing any, you'll get that freezing, yet for some reason burning, sensation on your upper thighs. That's your thigh's way of freaking out wondering why it's so cold. Your thighs hate you right now.
5 – Effin Nuts – Temperatures of – 30 and worse – Windchill no longer matters.
Long Johns should be worn INDOORS. Don't even bother going outdoors. Don't even look at the outdoors, unless you have Long Johns for your eyes. It's that cold. Just grab some comic books and some hot chocolate and go back to bed. When it's nice out, someone will tell you.

The brutal weather over the last month may have helped produce some good news when it comes to Chicago's crime rate, a rate that has in the past put Chicago at the tipping point.
The murder rate is half of what it was a year ago at this point, and Chicago Police admit that the weather may have played some role, but shouldn't get all of the credit.
A year ago, the January 29th murder of Hadiya Pendleton capped a month when citywide, there were 40 murders. Now, Chicago Police say their statistics show 20 murders this January -- a 50 percent drop-off.
Temperatures this January averaged 11 degrees colder than last year, snowfall is way up too – so is that why crime is down?
"Weather is a very important contributing factor, but I do want to say this… Regardless of season, regardless of weather, we have a very clear strategy. Strategic policing, strong parenting… what I would also call prevention investments in our after school and summer jobs… types of activities to keep our kids safe," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Saturday.
Five of the twenty shootings last month occurred in the Chicago Lawn police district on the southwest side, where this afternoon, some residents told me the cold weather does keep troublemakers off the streets.
"It's the weather, that's why crime's stopping," said Chicago Lawn resident Leroy Davis.
"It's not because Chicago's doing a good job, there's less people outside," said another Chicagoan Vincent Brown.
However, others credited good police work.
"I don't necessarily think it has anything to do with the weather. I think the police are putting up a good surveillance in the area, being around on the spot," said resident Tony Gray.
"More patrol men on the street and stuff like that, crime will go down a little more. So to be honest with you, it isn't the cold… could be hot, or cold out, still, crime's going to be crime," said area resident Kevin Whitworth.
The January numbers reveal the most common murder victims were 19-year-old males, victims ranged in age from 15 to 44, and 18 of the 20 murders involved shootings.

Chicago's Jessie Mueller and "Clybourne Park" up for Tonys
By Hedy Weiss Theater Critic firstname.lastname@example.com May 1, 2012 8:29PM
Jessie Mueller performs in her Tony-nominated role in "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" in New York.
Updated: June 3, 2012 8:17AM
The list of Broadway's Tony Awards nominations invariably arrives with Chicago links, and this year is no exception.
Jessie Mueller, who forged her career here at such theaters as Drury Lane Oakbrook, the Marriott Theatre and Chicago Shakespeare (and whose father, sister and brother all are Chicago actors), was nominated for best performance by an actress in a featured role in a musical for her Broadway debut, opposite Harry Connick Jr., in "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever." Although the radically re-envisioned show lasted only briefly on Broadway, it won great attention for Mueller. She already has been cast in her next plum role — playing Cinderella in the revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods" this summer at the New York Public Theater's prestigious Shakespeare in the Park.
"Clybourne Park," which was nominated as best new play of the season, is the work of Bruce Norris — a graduate of Northwestern University who has enjoyed a long association with Steppenwolf Theatre. The play, which received the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and is a contemporary riff on Lorraine Hansberry's Chicago classic "A Raisin in the Sun," has been produced in London and on the Steppenwolf stage, as well as in New York.
Set designer Daniel Ostling, a Lookingglass Theatre ensemble member who teaches at Northwestern University, also garnered a nomination for his work on "Clybourne Park." He most recently created the set for Chicago Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
In other synchronous Tony news: Jon Robin Baitz's "Other Desert Cities," another nominee for "best play," is headed to the Goodman Theatre next season. And such actors as Philip Seymour Hoffman, Linda Emond, Spencer Kayden and Jayne Houdyshell — all of whom have worked on Chicago stages — are among this year's nominees.

Recipe Below
This comprehensive, illustrated reference offers the essential building blocks and recipes for working with chocolate in the home kitchen. This cooking school in book form opens with 100 step-by-step techniques: chocolate basics (tempering, ganaches, pralines), candy fillings, decorations, doughs, creams and mousses, ice cream and sorbet, sauces, and baker's secrets. Each method is explained in text and photographs; fourteen are further clarified on the ninety-minute DVD.
Organized into nine sections, 100 recipes are simplified for the home cook: classics (Sachertorte, pro-fiteroles, molten chocolate cake), tarts (chocolate-pear, nut-caramel), snacks (macaroons, waffles, brownies, choco-ginger churros), frozen desserts, special occasions (dark chocolate fondue, hazelnut-praline Yule log), and candy (truffles, lollipops, coconut bars.

Dear Chocolate Lovers,
Before you dip into Cooking with Chocolate, I would like to share some thoughts with you.
When I founded the Ecole du Grand Chocolat over twenty years ago, my intention was that it should set a benchmark for food artisans the world over, a place where they could come for training and to extend their knowledge.
Since then, the school has also become a place where we share our values and our expertise. It is open to self-taught chocolate connoisseurs and to amateurs who can enroll in our "Gourmet" training courses.
We were honored when Flammarion entrusted this book to us. We hope it will become a key reference work and that we have lived up to the challenge--after all, there are already many books that do justice to Theobroma cacao, the "food of the gods," as Linneaus dubbed the plant. However, this book is fundamentally different from other books already published on the subject.
First of all, it is a concentration of knowledge built up from the professional training we provide at the Ecole du Grand Chocolat. We reveal the techniques for working chocolate in language that is easily comprehensible to nonprofessionals. These basic techniques comprise the first part of the book, and it is essential to master them to make the great classical recipes that incorporate confections, icings, ganaches*, and sponges. This book will also provide you with a symphony of plea¬sure for your palate, orchestrated by the chefs at our school and by some of the greatest names in the world of pastry, all centering on one magical ingredient: chocolate.
In the second section, we share over one hundred recipes, from the simplest and most basic to the
most creative...
...Julie Haubourdin, my colleague in charge of the gourmet training courses, agreed to be the linchpin of the project. She used her considerable talent to "translate" our professional jargon into clear, precise language that everyone can understand. I hope that, as you turn the pages, enjoying Clay McLachlan's unique photos and Eve-Marie Zizza-Lalu's explicit instructions, you will be able tosense the associations of tastes and textures of each of our recipes, and our desire to share with you the culture of excellence that inspires us all.
On behalf of each and every member of the team, I wish you a tasty escapade into a world in which the inseparable duo of flavor and technique creates shared pleasures.
--Frederic Bau
How to work with chocolate
Truffled Ivory Macaroons
Makes 20-30 mini-tartlets
Preparation time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Resting time: 40 minutes
Refrigeration time: 2 hours
1 stick (4 1/2 oz./125 g) butter
2 3/8 cups (9 oz./250 g) cake flour
l/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup (4 1/2 oz. 125 g) light brown sugar
1/3 cup (2 2/3 oz./75 g) granulated sugar
l/2 beaten egg
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (20 ml) whole milk
3 1/2 oz. (100 g) bittersweet chocolate
60 percent cocoa
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons (150 ml)
whipping cream
1 heaped tablespoon (1 oz./25 g) honey
10 seedless mandarins
1 bar bittersweet chocolate, 60 percent cocoa
1 flexible spatula
1 whisk (optional)
Plastic wrap
2 sheets of food-safe acetate
20-30 mini-tartlet molds
1 immersion blender
1 well-sharpened paring knife
1 vegetable peeler
Take the butter out of the refrigerator several hours before you begin baking and place it in a mixing bowl. Mix it energetically with a flexible spatula. Soften it further with the spatula or a whisk (the final texture is known as beurre pommade*).
Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C). Sift the flour with the cinnamon and set aside. Add the brown sugar and white granulated sugar to the butter and mix in well. Incorporate the egg and sifted flour and cinnamon. Lastly, stir in the milk and mix until the dough is smooth. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour. Roll the dough out, preferably between 2 sheets of acetate, to a thickness of just under Ms in. (2 mm) and cut it out to fit the molds. Bake for about 15 minutes and leave to cool.
Chop the chocolate and melt it slowly in a bain-marie* or in the microwave oven (on "defrost" or at 500 W maximum, stirring from time to time). Bring the cream and honey to the boil in a saucepan. Gradually pour one-third of the boiling cream over the melted chocolate. Using a flexible spatula, ener-getically mix the cream into the chocolate, drawing small, quick circles in the center to create a shiny, elastic "kernel."
Incorporate the second third of the cream and mix in exactly the same way. Pour in the remaining third, using the same stirring technique. Process with an immersion blender until the mixture is smooth and perfectly emulsified*. Pour the ganache into the cooled tart shells.
Using a well-sharpened paring knife, peel the mandarins, making sure you remove all the white pith. Extract the segments. Hold the mandarin in the hollow of your hand and slip the knife along the membrane that encloses the segment until you reach the center of the fruit. Repeat on the other side of the segment, all along the membrane to the center. The segment will come out on its own. Repeat with the remaining segments and reserve them on some sheets of paper towel.
Arrange 4 or 5 segments on each tartlet to reproduce the shape of a half-mandarin. Decorate with a few chocolate shavings: scrape them off from the bar of chocolate using the tip of a vegetable peeler. Reserve in the refrigerator until serving.
For a final, elegant touch, top with a small piece of edible gold leaf.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- More people are filing for bankruptcy in Minnesota. Filings, in fact, are at the highest level in a decade.
Through the end of May, nearly 9,600 bankruptcy cases were filed in Minnesota, up 11.6 percent from a year earlier.
Bankruptcy attorney Richard Pearson in New Brighton says unemployment is running out for some people, and those who have found work aren't matching the income of their previous job.
American Bankruptcy Institute figures show filings nationwide increased 14 percent in the first six months of 2010, compared to last year.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports bankruptcy filings are considered a lagging indicator and reflect earlier economic conditions.

STUFF I WROTE: December 2012
This one's a little more surreal than usual.
First up, over at our regular Image Comics stop…
story JOE KEATINGE
art ROSS CAMPBELL & ULISES FARINAS
cover NATE BELLEGARDE
"WAR TORN," Part One
The entire first year of Joe Keatinge and Ross Campbell's GLORY saga has been leading to this: Glory vs. Silverfall. PLUS: a special flashback sequence illustrated by Ulises Farinas finally revealing why Glory was near death when Riley found her.
"WAR TORN" is THE BIG ONE. The story arc the entire series has been leading up to. We're going to get a whole new perspective on stuff brewing from our very first issue and finally tie off a lot of threads that have been hanging there for almost a year.
HELL YEAH #6 is being resolicited for JANUARY. Not only will this catch us up, but it'll give us a chance to properly advertise our all-new cover artist, Ricken, and give retailers a better idea of the art time, which is certainly looking better than ever now that Fabio Redivo has taken over inks.
And now, for something completely different.
From Marvel Comics.
Dan Slott & Joe Keatinge (W) • Al Barrionuevo (A)
Cover by STEFANO CASELLI
• As Doctor Octopus' schemes take shape, MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE returns with a Vengenace!
• Will he be able to resist the siren song of blissful bloodsucking or will Spider-Man sling him straight back into the slammer?
• Your first look at next month's all-new Morbius ongoing series.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99
You guys have no idea how surreal/appropriate it is my first published work at Marvel is an issue of Amazing Spider-Man.
Check me out at age four.
Little dude knows what's up.
It's like he's Babe Ruthing a home run he won't hit for another 26 years.
And yes, I can confirm that is definitely a Spider-Man sweatshirt.
Anyway, yeah, well beyond stoked about this. It's a big lead in - more or less an issue #0 - for the ongoing Morbius: The Living Vampire series I'm doing with illustrator Rich Elson.
It's gonna be good, folks.

Get to the airport up to two hours early for drop-off. Parents have to fill out paperwork and get a gate pass to go through security. The adult picking up the child should also arrive early — by at least an hour — to fill out their share of paperwork.
Unaccompanied minors usually board first. Notifying the airline staff at the gate gives them time to find a crew member to walk the child to a seat on board. And don't leave until the flight has taken off. Flights can be cancelled hours after they've taxied from the gate.
Tips for letting kids fly solo
Before heading to the airport, make sure the minor has packed the following things:
Paperwork » Kids should have a copy of their itineraries and birth certificates in their bags. The itinerary should include travel dates, flight numbers, departure and arrival times and the reservation's record locator number. You should also include the parents' or guardians' home, work and cell phone numbers.
Snacks and cash for food » Most airlines will give children traveling alone snacks onboard like chips or cheese-and-crackers for free. But long delays can lead to growling stomachs, so give your child some traveling money. Throw in some gum to ease popping ears.
Entertainment » Books, small toys and electronics like DVD players and iPods are great to bring onboard, especially on longer flights. Be sure to forewarn your child that they'll have to turn off electronic gadgets during takeoff and landing.
A day's worth of essentials » Pack a change of clothes in your child's carry-on, in case a checked bag gets lost, along with a light sweater or sweat shirt for chilly planes.
A cell phone or calling card » Kids will be more at ease — and parents will be too — when everyone stays in touch.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Finally, when picking up at the airport, don't worry if you don't see the child right away. They're often the last ones off. A flight attendant will check the identification of the receiving adult, get a signature and you'll be on your way.

Natural and Alternative Headache Treatment Options
Headache Treatment {introduction}
There are four major categories of headache--vascular, tension, inflammatory and traction. The most common of these are tension headaches, which result from tightened facial and neck muscles and can be brought on by stress or anxiety. The most common form of vascular headache is a migraine, which is characterized by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and intense pain on one or both sides of the head. Tension and inflammatory headaches are generally linked to other conditions, such as stroke or sinus infection.
Below you will find alternative and natural treatment options including those from a Chinese Medicine perspective for headache.

- 3 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
- 3 1/2 teaspoons dried savory
- 2 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon
- 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
- 1 whole salmon fillet (3 lb.)
- 1 cup alder, apple, or mesquite wood chips
- 1. In a bowl, mix salt, 1 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons garlic powder, 3 tablespoons onion powder, 1 tablespoon savory, 2 teaspoons dried tarragon, and all of the dill weed.
- 2. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Set salmon, skin down, in an 11- by 17-inch roasting pan lined with plastic wrap. Spread salt mixture evenly over flesh of salmon. Cover and chill 3 hours.
- 3. Rinse fish under cool water and pat dry. Set fillet, skin down, on a large sheet of foil; cut foil to fit outline of fish. Let fish stand until flesh is tacky to touch, 20 to 30 minutes.
- 4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons each garlic powder and onion powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each savory and tarragon.
- 5. If using charcoal, mound 50 briquets on the firegrate of a barbecue with a lid and ignite; if using a gas grill, turn heat to high and close lid. Pour enough warm water over wood chips in a bowl to make them float; let soak at least 15 minutes.
- 6. When coals are dotted with gray ash, in about 20 minutes, push half to each side of firegrate. Drain wood chips and scatter half on each mound of coals. If using a gas grill, adjust for indirect heat; put drained chips in a foil pan and set directly on heat.
- 7. Cover barbecue and heat until chips start to smolder, about 10 minutes. Set grill 4 to 6 inches above the firegrate.
- 8. Place salmon on foil in center of grill (not directly over heat). Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over fish.
- 9. Cover barbecue and cook salmon until a thermometer inserted in center of thickest part reaches 140°, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 10. Using two wide spatulas, slide fillet with foil onto a rimless baking sheet, then transfer from sheet to a platter. Tuck edges of foil under fillet. Serve hot or cool.

[QUOTE=cr726;4324897]I'm blinded? Your party has been begging for anyone but Romney to run for President.
Newt is dead on about Mitt.[/QUOTE]
Do you ever tire of being ridiculously wrong?
Many in the GOP were begging for a new candidate to enter the race and defeat Romney because they do not feel he represented their highly conservative views, not because they don't think he can beat Obama.
Those folks were represented only by unelectable (even in a primary) candidates like Bachmann and Santorum. They wanted a Santorum-ideals candidate with charisma, charm and electability. They hoped and searched, but that person doesn't exist. So now they have Romney.
He's not their first choice, but they will be behind him in November, considering the alternative.

CNN journalist heard about an old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall in Jerusalem to pray twice a day for many years. She waits for him to interview him as he was leaving.

"Morris Fishbein," he replied.
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."

I'm in love.
For a girl who's been dairy+ gluten free for over 5 years, there is nothing I miss more than cheese. Not the flavorless block variety that you get in the dairy case at the market, but the fresh Manchego from the farmers market or the creamy Gouda from the goat farmer. Paired with a little fig chutney, a rich glass of Cabernet and this girl was in foodie heaven.
My mouth is watering just at the memory of it….
So when I came across this recipe, I tucked it into my bottomless drawer of "recipes I'm going to try someday" and forgot about it. I'm always in search of ways to recreate the recipes that I once loved, just without the trigger foods that harm my body.
Hey, some people collect bottle caps or bobble heads —I collect recipes.
Noticing a ripe avocado in my fruit basket this morning, I dug through my archives and found this little gem. Easy to make, versatile and delish! This is definitely a keeper for me. As much as I would love to take credit for it, I wasn't the creator of this creamy surprise. My apologies as I never copied down the author.
- 1 bunch fresh basil ( about a loose handful)
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 2 ripe avocados (pitted and flesh scooped out)
- 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Sea salt + pepper to taste
Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Viola! That's it. Cheese-free pesto. Simple, Satiating and Delish.
Typically I modify ingredients to fit my own taste, but I think the balance of ingredients are absolutely perfect as they are. I halved this recipe and topped my Tinkyada GF Linguine with it for a decadent little lunch and I am saving the remainder for dinner where I think I'll have it with a grilled organic chicken breast, asparagus and baby reds. I think it would also be delicious as a dip with crackers, crudites or on black bean burgers. Yum!
So far it has not discolored like avocados typically do (because of the lemon), so this could be a great make ahead!
Experiment with it and share your comments below!
with ecoBEAUTY + toxinFREE love,
FYI :: I believe in using only fresh + organic ingredients. If I post a recipe with an animal protein it is only from a sustainable source, grass-fed, free roaming and organic. Please adjust the recipes to fit your needs!

Before Stephen Jacobsen, a distinguished professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and president of the Sarcos team, there were no waving fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, no believable robot rides in Disneyland and Universal Studios, and no "Iron Man' movie.
Jacobsen makes imagination come to life and can claim over 200 patents to prove it. Furthermore, Jacobsen and his team's inventions extend well beyond the entertainment industry. From the bioengineering of artificial limbs and organs to strategic defense, Jacobsen has proven to be a prolific engineer, inventor, and innovator, and has received numerous honors and recognition for his innovative work.
When not inventing, Jacobsen is commercializing. He founded the Center for Engineering Design at the U, along with multiple companies, including Motion Control, Iomed, Sarcos (now Raytheon-Sarcos), Micro-Drugs, I-Port, Micro JEct, Precision Vascular, Intelligent Microinfusion, Sarcos Microsystems, and Sterling Research. These companies employ over 200 Utahns.

Can I Change a Controlling Spouse?
- Friday, February 15, 2013
One woman wrote, "He began to change when I began to respect and, subsequently, stand up for myself (and my children)."
Another pointed out that standing up for oneself sometimes involves no longer fearing what others think. "Part of why I continued to deal with it all those years was fear of losing important relationships, and being ostracized by the church. Finally, I just fell back on God. I stopped caring about what people at church may or may not do. I stopped being scared. When he would rant, I would just look at him and not cower. When he would threaten to tell everyone who knew me things that were private that I didn't want everyone to know, I finally got to the point that I didn't care. So, I stopped letting him intimidate me."
A woman said of her former husband, "He told everyone that I had an affair, though I did not. Of course, he never mentioned his affairs to our friends and neighbors. I decided to stand up for myself and put him out even if the neighbors thought I was the bad person. Interestingly, he still visits my next-door neighbor, plays tennis in my neighborhood, and attends parties where he thinks I will be. It's annoying, but what can I do? I no longer let his trying to destroy my reputation control me. So, I show up, genuinely smile, and have fun. I know who I am. I will not allow him to win his cruel game."
Got Help
Help included intensive marriage workshops such as our Marriage Helper 911 weekends, counseling, mentoring from pastors, and working through marriage materials together.
One respondent noted, "He still does many controlling things, but he is getting better after meeting with our pastor every other week. He also reads a lot of self-help type books and listens to marriage speakers. He has the greatest improvement when he reads the Bible consistently."
Another woman said, "A turning point came when he gained a sort of self-acceptance that allowed him to be honest with himself and with others about the things he had done right and wrong. We are also in counseling together now which is helping to address issues past and present."
A wife reported, "I attempted to get us into marriage counseling. He went under pressure for only one session. Recently I purchased The Art of Falling in Love book and the LovePath DVD that goes with it, and asked him to watch the DVD with me. He was angry with me after viewing the DVD but I think some of it sunk in, especially a story on the DVD about a woman who left her husband because he was telling her how to think and feel (disrespect). He is starting to understand and is trying to let go of his controlling ways."
When nothing else seems to work: Divorce
We believe that every marriage can be saved if both people stop doing the things destroying their marriage and start doing those things that cause love to grow. However, some of our respondents said that their controlling spouses would not stop the devastating behavior. Finally, they divorced.
One woman stated, "Divorce. Whew. It was very difficult - my very straight hair is now curly from stress (yes, really) still 7 years later - and we still struggle with control over kids. He dumps them, I pick up the pieces, and he has to pay for it. Thank the Lord that I now have a wonderful new husband who is the complete opposite. He is a great mediator even though my ex blames him for everything."
Another wife shared, "I came to realize that he was trying to set me up in a situation where he could justify divorcing me. We were in a male-dominated church that traditionally is very controlling. He was constantly accusing me of cheating, and constantly telling me that I was a bad wife because I was not submissive. In a fit of rage, he actually screamed that he wished I would cheat on him, leave him, or just disappear. That was a 'light bulb' moment for me. I stopped taking in all his criticism. I was just really matter of fact that I was his wife and I was doing everything I could. Eventually, he told me, 'There is nothing you can do, I want you out of my house by the end of summer.'"

AFCON 2013 starts with a colourful opening
South Africa rolled out some of its finest musicians as a short but sweet colourful opening ceremony of the Africa Cup of Nations kicked off the tournament at Johannesburg's National Stadium.
Based on the theme, "the beat at Africa's feet" it was a spectacle of music and dance featuring artists like Sipho "Hotstix" Mabuse, Ringo Madlingozi, Sibongile Khumalo, Judith Sephuma, and Kira as well as other musicians .The line-up of performers included Grammy award winner Oumou Sangare from Mali and Eric Wainana from Kenya. Interwoven in the theme were depictions of barriers on the continent like, poverty, disease and illiteracy that Africa is working hard to eradicate.
The stadium resonated to upbeat rhythms that had four groups dance in the middle of the pitch meeting and embracing around giant puppets. They then knocked down large walls inscribed with the stereotypes that often drag Africa down. The message was clear: AIDS, poverty and illiteracy cannot withstand solidarity.
Hundreds of dancers gyrated in the rain, dressed in colours from around the continent.
They bounced around on coloured gym balls, then lifted them to form a technicolour pixelated carpet of green, red, blue, black, yellow and white he colours of the South African flag. Then, more cheers and honks from vuvuzelas (plastic horns) when the gym balls changed colour and morphed into one heart beating to the music. Handlers rolled on giant drums with drum-beaters on stilts in tune. Once tilted, the drums became trampolines and acrobats did somersaults in unison.
Former president and global peace icon Nelson Mandela featured in homage on the big screen. South Africa's Paralympics champion Oscar Pistorius was another to appear. "Honoured to be carrying the SA flag on to the field," he posted earlier on micro-blogging site Twitter.
The ceremony got underway just after 4pm at a wet National Stadium but the raining could not dampen the energy of the performers nor the fans that trooped in to witness the start of the 29th edition of Africa Cup of Nations.
The President of the Republic of South Africa, Jacob Zuma then officially opened the tournament telling the crowd that South Africa will not fail the continent before South Africa played Cape Verde in the first match to be followed by Angola against Morocco.
