Hapoel TA crashes to defeat in Kazakhstan
Hapoel Tel Aviv star Gili Vermut..
(photo credit:ADI AVISHAI)
Hapoel Tel Aviv's European campaign has all but ended after a single match following a 3-0 defeat to Astana in Kazakhstan in the first leg of the Europa League second qualifying round on Thursday afternoon.Hapoel got the 2014/15 season off to a disastrous start, an especially ominous sign considering the team has been rocked in recent weeks by a power struggle in its dysfunctional ownership.With a squad which has significantly weakened from last season and the inexperienced coach Asi Domb guiding the team for the first time, the last thing Hapoel needed on Thursday was a bad start.However, it got just that, with Astana taking a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute through a Roger Canas penalty after Hapoel defender Orel Dgani was sent off for toppling Tanat Nusserbayev in the box.Tel Aviv was always going to struggle with 10 men and Astana seized complete control of the proceedings.Nusserbayev doubled the advantage with a fantastic shot from the edge of the box in the 58th minute and Abzal Beisebekov scored Astana's third goal 11 minutes later, with Hapoel 'keeper Danny Amos parrying the ball into his own net.Despite playing with 10 men, Hapoel had its chances to score what would have been a precious away goal, but Avraham Chekoll and Omer Fadida couldn't find the back of the net with only the Astana goalkeeper to beat.Hapoel desperately lacked its clinical striker Omer Damari, who remained in Israel after falling ill. Damari has been at the center of the rift between the head of the ownership group Haim Ramon and new manager Eyal Berkovic, with the former wanting to sell the striker for financial reasons and the latter hoping to keep him at the club. Berkovic didn't fly with the team to Kazakhstan.Complicating matters for Hapoel in the second leg next week is the fact that the team will have to host its home leg in Cyprus due to the ongoing rocket fire from Gaza.Late Thursday, Hapoel Beersheba faced RNK Split in Croatia, also in the first leg of the Europa League second qualifying round.Beersheba was making its first appearances in continental competition since 1997.The draw for the Europa League and Champions League third qualifying rounds will take place on Friday.In other local soccer news, the fixture list for the upcoming Premier League season was revealed on Thursday.Two-time defending champion Maccabi Tel Aviv will visit Maccabi Petah Tikva in its season-opener, with last season's runner-up, Hapoel Beersheba, to host Beitar Jerusalem in their first match over the weekend of August 23. Maccabi Haifa's first league match at the new Sammy Ofer Stadium will be against Bnei Sakhnin, also in the first weekend of the season.Maccabi Tel Aviv will already face Beersheba in their third match of the campaign, while the first Tel Aviv derby of the season will take place on Week 7.

UK online fashion retailer Boohoo.com plans London listing
LONDON (Reuters) - British online fashion retailer Boohoo.com plans to list its shares on London's Alternative Investment market, joining a surge of retail groups seeking flotations as the outlook for consumer spending improves.
The firm said in a regulatory filing on Friday that it was seeking a March listing.
Boohoo designs, sources, markets and sells own brand clothing, shoes and accessories through its website to a core market of 16-24 year-old consumers in the UK and globally.
It claims to have 2.3 million active customers.
The filing gave no details of the capital Boohoo plans to raise or divestment by the existing owners with the majority of Boohoo's shares owned by the firm's founders, the Kamani family.
According to media reports, Manchester-based Boohoo plans to raise over 100 million pounds and gain a market value of around 500 million pounds.
Its larger rival, ASOS (ASOS.L), also listed on AIM, has a market capitalisation of 5.8 billion pounds.
Peter Williams, a former non-executive director of ASOS, will become non-executive chairman of Boohoo that was set up in 2006.
Boohoo's flotation is one of many expected in Britain's retail sector in 2014 on the back of the country's gradually improving economy.
Convenience store McColl's and online domestic appliances firm AO World (AO.L) have already listed, while Poundland and Pets at Home PETSH.UL have set price ranges.
Fat Face, B&M and House of Fraser are amongst other store groups expected to come to market.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–10–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Why can't Bombers be more like Stamps?
One and four is the not the end of a football season, and a win in B.C. next Monday against the Lions would put out a lot of fires that are close to forcing evacuations in Winnipeg. That being said, 1-4 IS the time to take a candid look at your football team and to decide what single change would result in the biggest improvement.
Having been on my fair share of good and bad teams, the hypothetical I always play out to determine the source of the problem is to imagine switching systems with a successful team. If your team's fortunes would change if the players had a different game plan, it is not a talent issue, it is a problem with the schemes and coaching. If the team would not benefit even if the players were being coached by Bill Belichick of the dynastic New England Patriots, then it is a talent issue. Since many of us got to witness first-hand the performance of a good team on Friday -- the Calgary Stampeders -- the comparison is there to be made. So would the 2013 edition of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers be 1-4 if they were coached by John Hufnagel and Co. in the systems the Stampeder players are using so effectively? Or would they continue to struggle and plod along, seemingly regressing as the season continues?
Bombers Scores
Powered by Sports Direct Inc.
Fresh off a runner-up result in the 2012 Grey Cup, the Stampeders look deeper than the Marianas Trench at quarterback. They went to the Grey Cup on the back of their second-string QB. Their third-string pivot, making his first-ever start last week against the Bombers, missed on only four passes in 33 attempts, scored three touchdowns and threw for 376 yards. Is Bo Levi Mitchell, the Stampeders' third option, really that much better than Winnipeg's first two options? Or is he merely a byproduct of Huf and Dave Dickenson, the Stamps' offensive co-ordinator?
Before we get to that, looking at the rest of these two offences -- my primary area of concern when it comes to the Bombers -- they don't appear miles apart.
The Calgary offensive line that held the league-leading sack-getters to only one QB kill has a whopping total of one all-star on it and two CFL rookies. The Winnipeg offensive line also has a multiple all-star on it in Glenn January and no rookies, so you would think the lines would be somewhat comparable.
When you look at the receivers Calgary used Friday night, only Nik Lewis is of all-star calibre, with just one more all-CFL recognition than Terrence Edwards. Looking at their other starting receivers, Hawthorne is a CFL rookie, Sinopoli is playing receiver for the first time in his career, and the Bombers let backup Greg Carr walk and bounce around the league a long time ago before he resurfaced in Calgary and exacted some revenge.
At running back, Jon Cornish is a bona fide superstar in the CFL, but is he really that much more capable than Chad Simpson, who had three years of spot duty in the NFL before he arrived on our doorstep? Those who consider the NFL the holy grail of professional football talent would have to put Simpson on comparable terms with Cornish simply because of his resum©.
So a comparative analysis between the assets of these two offences tells us the only glaring disparity is at quarterback, but we couldn't have realized that until we saw both Bo Levi Mitchell and Justin Goltz start for the first time.
Even with this apparent critical difference in inherent talent at pivot, you have to look at how the Stampeders and Bombers differed in their game plans in accommodating the first starts of these QBs.
Calgary didn't ask much of Bo Levi Mitchell at the start. They began with a series of quick passes and a steady diet of Cornish so Bo Levi could gain confidence, get some momentum and get into a rhythm. On the Bombers' first possession, they swung for the fences on second-and-medium and trotted off the field for the first of what would be too many two-and-outs.
Running backs can take the pressure off new quarterbacks, and Jon Cornish had 22 total touches for the Stamps, while Chad Simpson had 16. Simpson actually had a higher per-carry average than Cornish on this night, but you wouldn't have noticed it because the Bombers held the ball for almost an entire quarter less.
It is true the defence has fallen off lately, and it is true they rarely, if ever, blitzed a QB during his first start -- an indictable offence under most football laws. Yet if there has been one consistent thing about the Bombers this year, it's that the offence has faltered and underachieved.
After a closer look at the offensive personnel Calgary has ridden to its 4-1 record, it is obvious the greatest inequality between these two teams is the system they find themselves in.

On the subject of boots does anyone remember wearing jodphur boots? This was almost pre-skinhead in about 1968. I bought mine from a proper equestrian shop near where I lived and I reckon I had the best pair around. They were brown leather, elasticated sides and had a rounded toe rather than the chisel toe the late mods were wearing. I put blakeys on mine because they weren't cheap and they needed to last. DM jodphurs became popular later.
My first thoughts from that description is a dealer boot, the fact that you bought them from a equestrian shop would suggest differences? i always think of dealers being a heavyish boot? I know gaggle.com can be random, it threw up a few different styles under the dealer boot search i put in
I just remembered that they were really popular with the Birmingham lads first,and it was a giveaway that you were from there early on.That and Yellow Harringtons for some reason?
The DM ones were never seen .
Yes, mine were very similar to the ones on the left. Bloody difficult to get on but comfortable once you did so. The DM version I remember from about 1975 when my brother bought a pair for work. I didn't rate the DM's. I did hear the term 'riders' and many called them (mistakenly) chelsea boots after the mod version with the chisel toe.

Good looking pair of jeans Lasttye. I would like a pair of those. I expect they cost you a few bob? Where did you buy them? I need a new pair of good quality jeans and Lee are my jeans of choice.
I have half a dozen pairs of Japanese Jeans, The above was imported from Japan, cost around £140, They are near impossible to buy outside Japan, Prices are around £250 to £300,
I just got hold of a pair of Studio D Artisan, Get Smart/Jason who gets on here got me a pair when he was in Japan..and sent them to me, saved me about £120.
I have built up a relationship with a salesperson at Samurai over the years and have no problem with getting hold of them...a lot cheaper than buying them in a shop.

Buffalo Niagara Partnership lays out plans
Send this to a friend

A diverse laundry list of projects and initiatives ranging from seeking long-term funding for the new John R. Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo to a New York/Ontario economic summit top the Buffalo Niagara Partnership's 2013 regional agenda.
The agenda was created with input from leaders in both Erie and Niagara counties and includes a reprise of some familiar requests coupled with new initiatives.
"By definition, it is a collaborative effort," said Tim Loftus, Buffalo Niagara Partnership chairman. "Collaboration is not always the easiest thing to do. But, we've seen what collaborative efforts can establish."
The development of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is one such example. So is the continued effort to preserve the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Base.
The 2012 agenda produced several notable victories including having the Peace Bridge selected for a pilot program that will see a truck clearance center — for U.S. bound trucks — established on the Canadian plaza and support in Albany for an increase in historic tax credits, raising the cap from $5 million to $12 million - although Gov. Andrew Cuomo has yet to sign the bill.
The 2013 agenda includes:
• The drive for $3.1 billion in capital funding for the University at Buffalo that will cover a decade's worth of projects.
• New York allocating $60 million over the next four years to help finance the construction of the new Children's Hospital on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
• Seeking $6 million in federal dollars for the restoration of five Erie Canal locks in Niagara County to their 1842 condition.

'The Evil Within' review - evil has a new residenceThursday, 30 October 2014 12:00
The final release of "The Evil Within" completes the roller coaster ride I've had with the title. In a twist more shocking than anything the story could've provided, the ride ended on a high peak rather than the expected ghastly drop. My expectation couldn't have been lower for this game following a PAX East demo that was, without exaggeration, the worst live demo that I have ever witnessed. Everything about "The Evil Within" seemed like it took everything good about modern game world building, threw it out the window and instead replicated a game from the early 2000's.
Thankfully, "The Evil Within" stands as a chief example that previews and demos are not indicative of the final product. It didn't have to do much to exceed my expectations, but I wasn't prepared for "The Evil Within" to be what "Resident Evil" should have been for the past six years. "The Evil Within" is the second coming of "Resident Evil 4."

Is 'Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition' worth the money?Tuesday, 28 October 2014 12:00
Review note: I'm not going to get into the story, mechanics and gameplay in this review. For that information, consult my original review of "Sleeping Dogs," which can be found here. The review of the "Definitive Edition" will observe the game as a bigger picture.
"Sleeping Dogs" was a sleeper hit of 2012 that took open-world, "Grand Theft Auto"-style gameplay to the streets of Hong Kong. The game borrowed driving and exploration from the popular Rockstar franchise, but free flowing combat and a rich RPG leveling system made it stand out on its own.
Now it receives the "Definitive Edition" treatment like so many other titles have in 2014. This new version contains a few new things to collect and see around Hong Kong, and has updated graphics for the PS4 and Xbox One. But the burning question that looms over any remake also applies to this new "Sleeping Dogs" package. Is it worth buying again?

'Super Smash Bros.' 10/23/14 Nintendo Direct - LiveblogThursday, 23 October 2014 11:49
(6:36) Now that's officially a wrap. This looks like quite the package, but it makes the 3DS version look quite watered down. Who's going to even want to play the 3DS version once the superior Wii U version is available?
(6:30) That's a wrap on a ton of information on Smash Bros. for Wii U. This might have been the most informative Nintendo Direct ever. This game looks like it has a ton of content that will make the Wii U a must-buy. One last thing: The koopa arma will be in the cast. Looks like the same lineup that's in Mario Kart. They look like they behave the same way as Bowser Jr. Oh we're not done yet! Mewtwo is back! It's a free download if you have the 3DS version of hte game. Mewtwo won't be available at launch. Coming Spring of 2015.
(6:29) Stage creatue looks like it's up last. Custom stage building can be made and shared with others. I imagine people will come up with better stages than the original lineup.
(6:26) Online Mode gets the focus. Get a USB-Ethernet adapter if you don't have a good wifi connection. Two players can play on the same team online. That's terrific and will be used often, I believe. Tournaments can be made online, similar to Mario Kart 8. Gamepad can mirror screen or can show damage taken by players. The Gamepad will also allow users to paint on photos that are taken on the game. People are going to come up with amazing photos with this feature. Voice chat confirmed! You'll be able to talk with friends in the game. There is no voice chat in the matches, only before and after. Bleh. It's just like Mario Kart 8. That's a shame. Make sure all your friends have Skype!
(6:24) Masterpieces Mode is being shown now. You'll be able to play demos of old games that feature the original characters. This mode was in Brawl, and I'm glad it's returning. There are dozens of classic games that can be played in this mode. Amiibo system is on display now. Amiibo can be scanned, which brings the character to life in the game. Amiibo characters, or Figure Characters, will level up and become stronger based on experience. This will certainly be banned in competitive play.
(6:20) Any and all Nintendo controllers can be used in this game from the 3DS to the Wiimote. Classic controller and pro controllers are also compatible. GameCube controllers can be used, but we already knew that. Oh nice! There will be a special Smash Bros. GameCube controller coming out. Progress like trophies, costumes and equipment will carry over from the 3DS version once the systems are linked. That's a nice touch. Tons of trophies are being shown now. Wii U will have many more trophies. Final Smash trophies return from previous Smash Bros. All Star mode will unlock Final Smash trophies. Trophy photo mode is going to be in the game. You can arrange the trophies how you like and then snap a picture. People will be able to get pretty creative with this mode. Trophy Rush will be able to be played with multiple people. That's neat.
(6:17) Stadium Events return for target blast and sandbag. This can be played with 4 players. Multiman Melee can be played with four players, too. That will be fun! Special Orders is another mode that is being introduced. Here you'll face Master Hand and Crazy Hand. They will have special rules and rewards for you. You'll have to complete the battles to get the rewards. These look sort of bizzare. Not sure how these differ from events. Master Core returns from the 3DS version. He should look pretty nifty on the Wii U. Master Fortress is another form of Master Core only in the Wii U version.
(6:12) Modes are getting the focus now. The classic mode will be different. Paths will be determined by how well you did in the previous match. Difficulty settings are the same as the 3DS. Higher difficulty will give you more coins. This mode can be played with 2 players. Completion will unlock a nice video, like it has in the past. All-Star mode is reversed from the 3DS version. You fight the newer characters first and work your way backwards. You can also play this with 2 players. Event Mode is new. There's a grid of matches that you'll have to get through. You'll have to win in a specific way, like Event Mode has been in the past. Smash Tour mode replaces Smash Run mode. That's nice because I hated Smash Run mode. This is the game board mode that was revealed earlier this week. This mode needs more explanation. 4 players are on a board a la Mario Party. You'll get powerups and items throughout the game. Still not exactly sure how it will all work. You'll face off at the end of the game, but your stock will be determined by how well you did. Pretty confusing.
(6:10) Item frequency is fact 11. You can set items on and off, plus change how frequently each item is seen. This is a nice touch. I've completly lost count of the fact numbers. They're jumping around like crazy. They're addressing music now. You can pick and choose each song that you like and eliminate the ones you don't like. You can also set how often you'll hear these songs in stages. Songs and stages can be mixed and matched. Unlocking music is determined by finding CDs in the stage. Challenges are similar to the 3DS version, but all challenges are laid out on one screen.
(6:07) Patelunia Help will give advice for noobs. That was fact 5. Fact 6 is that Metal Face will be in the game. He will come in from the background and cause trouble. He can be KO'd. Ridley is another one of those bosses who will interfere. Think of it like a supercharged assist trophy. That's fact 7. He can become Meta-Ridley. He looks ridiculously awesome to fight with. Fact 8: Battle Coins. Standard time and stock matches are avaialble, but coin battles are coming back! This returns from Melee. Stamina matches return, as well. This is fact 9. I always liked Stamina matchs. Special Matches are fact 10. There are way more variables than there have ever been.
(6:03) Fact 4: Danger Zones. Stages will have danger zones that will be an instant KO if you hit it with more than 100% damage. Fact 5: Dual-zone hijinks. You will be able to jump into the background in certain stages. Like DK stages will have a background fighting area and a foreground. Fact 6: More stages. The video is running through the available stages. First it's going through the same stages as the 3DS version. Now it's getting into the others. They're flashing so fast that it'll take multiple viewings to get them all. There are a ton, a mix of old and new. Miiverse stage won't be ready when the game releases. Will release post-launch. Miiverse messages will appear in the background.
(6:00) The stream has officially started. Let's see what these 50 facts will be. A glorious montage of the action has begun. Fact 1: 40 unique characters to start from the beginning. There will be fewer characters to unlock. More will be ready at launch. Face 2: Resolution is better on the Wii U. NO KIDDING. Fact 3: 8-players can play at the same time! Bigger stages will be available, so 8-player smash won't be so ridiculous. A larger version of Battlefield will be one of those stages.
(5:59) The video stream should be starting any minutes. This feels like an Apple announcement. I'm waiting for the lights to dim.
(5:54) We are a little less than ten minutes away from the start of the Nintendo Direct. Any last minute bold predictions? The stream will be about 35 minutes, and will feature 50 facts about the game for Wii U.
Every day inches closer to the release of "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U. Today's Nintendo Direct presentation will unveil more juicy details about the brawler to undoubtedly raise hype levels into the stratosphere.
The "Super Smash Bros." Nintendo Direct begins at 6:00 p.m. EST. If you can't watch the livestream, bookmark this post as I'll be following along and keeping track of the event via liveblog. I'll be posting live announcements and thoughts on the show. See you at 6:00!

'Fantasia: Music Evolved' review - magic worthy of the Disney nameTuesday, 21 October 2014 03:01
In 1940, Walt Disney's idea of "Fantasia" melded the sound of classical music with the imagery of cartoon animation. The result was an inspired creation of sight, sound and wonder that remains one of his most fondly remembered creations. The concept wasn't fully appreciated in its era, but was decades ahead of its time.
Now Harmonix, the visionaries behind the "Rock Band" series, attempt to create the next generation of "Fantasia" experience. "Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved" looks to combine music with the interactive nature of the video game. The idea has the added pressure of being one of only marquee titles for the Xbox One's motion sensing camera, the Kinect. Not only is this game as unique as the movie that inspired it, it may just become the primary reason to own a Kinect on the Xbox One.

'Super Smash Bros.' for 3DS is handheld perfectionMonday, 06 October 2014 15:35
"Super Smash Bros." - That title signifies something more than a game series. For me, the title was an obsession. Even the word "obsession" suggests that the situation at hand teeters on the edge of being dangerous. If my college "Smash Bros." playing habits would have been presented to anyone outside the gaming realm, the person would've conclusively branded it as such.
In hindsight, it was dangerous. I think my friends and I all realized that at the time on some level even if that thought was heavily suppressed by the joy that "Smash Bros." brought to us all. There was always something more productive that we could've been working on, whether it was respective studies, a term paper that had a looming deadline, or something as simple as stepping outside to see daylight. But all of those peripheries were easily brushed aside if there were four bodies willing to pick up the sticks and throw down in a 2-on-2 "Smash" session. Three-stock matches are generally short, and shouldn't last longer than 10 minutes. It was the best-of-seven series or the endless refrain of "one more game" that turned one match in to several, and minutes into hours. I can say without question that I have logged more hours into "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" than any other game I've ever played.

'Shadow of Mordor' review - the wraith crusaderMonday, 29 September 2014 17:30
The "Lord of the Rings" books and movies can hold clinics on story structure. They establish a cast of heroes, their plight as a group and individually, introduce a great evil, a struggle of power, a great journey, downfall and redemption. There are such epic developments in the "Lord of the Rings" saga that it had to be divided into three books and movies. But one thing that isn't developed is the story of the orc soldiers. They are portrayed in enormous groups with each face more grotesque than the last. Every nameless uruk can be mindlessly slaughtered because they're orcs. Nobody cares about orcs.
"Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's" mantra is "know thy enemy." You'll know everything about the leaders of the orc forces called uruks: their strengths, weaknesses, motivations, fears and what gets under their leathery green skin. You can then use this information to demolish your enemy from within. That process is carried out by the ranger Talion.

'Disney Infinity 2.0' characters rated and rankedTuesday, 23 September 2014 10:00
"Disney Infinity 2.0" is in stores today! Marvel characters are about to collide with the world of Disney. As exciting as this prospect is, the game requires careful consideration from consumers. Since these Play Sets and figurines aren't cheap, you should know which ones are worth the money, and which ones should stay on the shelves.
I played all 16 launch characters and all three play sets and compiled a ranking of each character. Here's how they stacked up.

'Disney Infinity 2.0' reviewMonday, 22 September 2014 11:00
The concept behind "Disney Infinity" was a perfect fit for Disney's deep bench of beloved characters. It brought small, detailed figurines to life, from the cast of "Monster's University, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and many series in between.
But the build up turned out to be bigger than the payoff. The end result was a series of Play Sets that were hit or miss, and a level creation system called Toy Box that was too confusing for many.
Now comes "Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes," or often called "Disney Infinity 2.0." This time around, Disney is tapping into their recently acquired Marvel franchises. Marvel favorites like Spider-Man, Iron-Man, Venom, The Guardians of the Galaxy and many others are available in the 16-character roster. Additional Disney figures like Merida from "Brave" and Maleficent will be available in the near future.

'Destiny' diary: Guardian's log part twoTuesday, 16 September 2014 12:00
Part one of my "Destiny" diary tackled the opening to about hour 10. Part two picks up where that left off and continues to hour 20 and beyond. After all that time spent planet hopping and palling around with other Guardians, I'm still not sure what "Destiny" is. Is it a shooter, MMO, shoot and loot or dance party simulator? I still don't know. But I do know that it's a melting pot of some of video games' most beloved types of games.
But "Destiny" isn't one thing: perfect. There are some questionable gameplay mechanics and story structures. Those shortcomings don't ruin the entire experience. The game still provides fun, especially when playing with friends.

'Destiny' diary: Guardian's Log - day oneThursday, 11 September 2014 12:00
Ah, the old familiar feeling of starting a sprawling, endless RPG. It begins as a blank slate that holds the potential for greatness. You, as the player, have the ability to make that greatness possible. "Destiny" is no exception.
Starting "Destiny" is reminiscent of the first day of high school. You don't know where to go, or what to do. What's worse, you don't even know who you are yet. It takes months (hours of in-game time) to discover your role, your strengths and your weaknesses. Eventually you find a crew to pal around with, and you find direction along the way. Things start to click, and the fun begins. You'll have friends. You'll have enemies. You'll excel, and you'll fail. Success is essential, but enjoying the ride sits above all.
"Destiny" nearly succeeds in being the groundbreaking new I.P. that it bills itself as. Its structure is refreshingly unusual. Because of this, the first steps are ones of discovery that are occasionally familiar. The game kicks off with the obligatory character selection.
There are three classes with different abilities. Each class can be one of three races, which can each be male or female. The Titan has a defender ability that acts as a shield for party members, the Hunter is more of a high-damage, close-quarters attacker and the Warlock has a couple mystical powers.
Races include human, Awoken and Exo. Awoken are pale creatures that live on the edge of space, while Exo are self-aware robots. It's odd how similar these three races actually are. Each has human characteristics other than their skin color. It's not immediately easy to tell what race a character is with a quick glance. The game, and certainly the locales, would benefit from some diversity. Otherwise, it just looks like a game inhabited by hundreds of Mandelorians.
At this point, I don't know how differently each class behaves. I chose the Hunter class for no reason other than because he's the only character with a cool blade in his offhand. It seemed like a useful skill to have when planet exploring.
"Destiny" is a huge game. Activision and Bungie claim that they have a 10-year plan for it, rendering a 3-day review unfair, not to mention impossible. Instead, I'll be keeping a journal of my experience over the next two weeks. Each entry will contain notes from recent play sessions: what I liked and what I didn't like, cool things I noticed or found, annoyances, amazements and everything in between.

Knights may look overseas to bolster Twenty20 squad
Relevant offers
A busy summer for their Black Caps representatives may force the Northern Knights to enter the market for overseas players again as they chase a first Twenty20 title.
It is unlikely the leading New Zealand players will be available to contest the 2012/13 HRV Cup, as the Black Caps are in South Africa from mid-December to the end of January and then host England in February and March.
The Knights are waiting for confirmation of the schedule for the coming season but if the HRV Cup is held from mid-December to mid-January as it was last season, the Grant Bradburn-coached side may enlist some overseas firepower after using solely Kiwi players to finish third in their last campaign.
Last season the international programme allowed the domestic sides to use their Black Caps for most of the tournament. However, this summer's schedule would have the Knights without some – or possibly all – of their six players with NZ Cricket contracts – Daniel Vettori, Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, BJ Watling, Daniel Flynn and Trent Boult.
"We need to make sure we've got depth in every skill-set," Bradburn said of the Twenty20 competition. "Last season we felt we were a little short of power-hitting at the top of the order."
The Knights have had mixed success with their imports for the HRV Cup over recent seasons and have yet to contest the final which offers a place in the lucrative Champions League tournament. Bradburn admitted a congested international schedule would again be a strong test of the association's top-level playing resources but he was pleased to have six players in the top 20.
"From our point of view we hope not to see them – that's what we're about.
"If they're not with us, it means they're playing well. That's good for them and for NZ Cricket.
"And it gives us the ability to offer contracts to our wider squad – it's an exciting opportunity for us to keep developing players. There's lots of young skilful players right on the doorstep and knowing the Black Caps are going to be busy this season means they know there may be opportunities."
One likely departure from last season's extended Knights squad is pace bowler Andrew Mathieson, who is understood to be heading to Central Districts, while Auckland spin bowler Bhupinder Singh is rumoured to be heading south to join Northern Districts.
That would leave about 18 contenders for 12 contracted spots.
"It's a nerve-racking time for players and for us," Bradburn said.
"We're well aware we've created a rod for our own back – we have so many players ready to play but you can only get 11 on the field at one time."
Those set to be contracted include Knights veterans James Marshall, Joey Yovich, Graeme Aldridge, Brent Arnel, Peter McGlashan and Brad Wilson.
"All of our experienced guys are keen to continue playing – they feel they have a lot to offer, so opportunities for younger players can be few and far between," Bradburn said.
A number of players who struggled last season with injury will be anxious to hear if they have gained a contract.
Young seamer Anurag Verma was contracted last season but played only four matches as injury again hindered his progress, while Corey Anderson showed flashes of his ability before a knee injury curtailed his campaign.
Veteran Bradley Scott's season was also hampered by a knee problem.
"It is tough to judge – but our philosophy is to contract not retrospectively but on what's likely to happen in the future," Bradburn said.
All-rounder Anton Devcich should be another on the list, with batsman Daryl Mitchell and seamer James Baker likely too, while the likes of batsman Brook Hatwell and Verma will be pushed by Brandon Hiini, Mitchell Santner, Joey Walker, Brett Hampton and New Zealand under-19 representatives Joe Carter, Sean Davey and Nick Kelly.
Aldridge and Devcich have had minor operations in the off-season but are confident they will be fit to start the new season, while Gloucestershire's Hamish Marshall won't be returning early next year as he has in recent seasons.
The first round of contracts for New Zealand's six major associations will be announced towards the end of next month, with the squads to be competed by mid-August.

Berks historian George Meiser IX completes 20th volume of county history book
Updated On: Oct 24 2012 07:45:49 AM CDT
The 20th volume of a book that documents Berks County history will hit the historical society shelves next month. And Tuesday the author gave a special sneak peek.
"So you never know if you're going to find something or whether you're not going to find something," said George Meiser IX. "That I thought was kind of neat."
Meiser has completed researching and writing the 20th volume of Passing Scenes. He's a historian and a photographer.
"I have 28,000 photographs and that takes up a lot of space," said Meiser.
He doesn't take all the photos.
"Everywhere I go, someone says, 'Mr. Meiser, I have a picture I want to show you,'" said Meiser.
His research usually starts with an old photo somewhere in Berks County.
"The first thing they want to know is: does it still exist? If it does, what does it look like today?" said Meiser.
That's how he made a discovery in Birdsboro.
"And no idea this was there, no idea people in Birdsboro interested in canals; had no idea that was there," said Meiser.
Meiser said he made a major historic find: an old canal office building.
"It's the only one I know that survives," said Meiser.
At 75 years old, he said he was also able to solve another mystery.
"They searched everywhere. Is there a picture of Quinter's Bridge? No one had a picture of Quinter's Bridge," explained Meiser.
But Meiser said he found the old photo.
"You can see it was taken in the 1920s, look at the old car here," said Meiser.
And he knows where it is today: an overpass on Gibraltar Road.
"It's there; they buried it, so it's still there," said Meiser.
Just one arch reinforced with cement is visible.
"You get lucky every once in awhile," said Meiser, "It's like winning in the lottery."
And anyone can take part in his prize. Next month, The Passing Scene Volume 20 hits the shelves. Proceeds from all volumes benefit the Berks County Historical Society.

No shortcuts please! (poem)
With, television, movies, music, the internet and old
Fashion gossip
Where do the young find refuge to absorb all of this
Surely, with personal computers valuable information
Is gathered with the help of the agency called gosip
We find so little time to see how we all as human beings
All relate and connect
Our modern technology can brings us the answers
That can help save the lives - of so many
Also, entertain us with activities to satisfy the wishes of
Both the young And the old
However, walks through Mother Nature are becoming
Rare and obsolete
She misses our solitude and solemn company
Though science can teach us "HOW? , " it all comes alive
Only God can explain " WHY? " it all so beautifully unfolds
Yes in the classroom it's real you can touch it, you can see
It - OH! - It's all so sensible
All the pieces fit together we find joy in the explanation of
'HOW" It all functions
However to answer the question "WHY? ", with God the
Answer is quite comprehensible
So take no shortcuts please - on your latest discoveries,
For the "HOW? " and the " WHY? " must Find true conjunction
"Or your newfound discoveries will truly wind up as major Malfunctions"

Plot Summary: A sophisticated and moving comedy from Bob Pulchini and Shari Springer-Berman, the Academy Award nominated writer/directors of "American Splendor," "The Extra Man" follows Louis Ives (Paul Dano), a lonely dreamer who fancies himself the hero of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. When a deeply embarrassing incident forces him to leave his job at an exclusive Princeton prep school, Louis heads to New York City to make a fresh start. He quickly finds a nine-to-five job at an environmental magazine, where he encounters an entrancing, green-obsessed co-worker Mary (Katie Holmes). But it's Louis' new home life that really sparks his imagination. He rents a room in the ramshackle apartment of Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), a penniless, wildly eccentric but brilliant playwright. When Henry's not dancing alone to obscure music or singing operettas, he's performing - with great panache - the duties of an "extra man," a social escort for the wealthy widows of Manhattan high society. These two men, separated in age by more than forty years, develop a volatile mentor/apprentice relationship. Through a series of urban adventures where they encounter everything from a leaping lion to a wildly jealous hirsute neighbor, from drunken nonagenarians to a shady Swiss hunchback, Louis and Henry form a memorable bond that bridges their differences.
