The women in this story are the customers of amateur abortionist Isabelle Huppert. The time is 1941, and the place is a Nazi-occupied French town. Struggling to survive, Huppert turns to illegally terminating unwanted pregnancies for a hefty fee. As her income increases, Huppert moves her family from their grimy surroundings to a posh apartment, sharing her digs with her new friend, prostitute Marie Trintignant. Completely seduced by her affluent lifestyle, Huppert ignores her shell-shocked husband Francois Cluzet, preferring to dally with Nazi collaborator Nils Tavernier. Things take a disastrous turn after one of Huppert's "customers" dies and her disgruntled husband turns her over to the authorities. Story of Women was inspired by the real-life tale of Marie-Louise Girard, who in 1943 was executed by the Vichy Government, who'd declared abortion as a Crime Against the State because it diminished the number of potential soldiers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

v2.0.0 broken on SeaMonkey-2.32, revert to v1.1.2 Rated 3 out of 5 stars
v1.1.2 used to work fine :-) In case of problems, reinstall it from the "View other versions" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gcontactsync/versions/This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.0).
2.7b1 broken (over and over again and again) on Seamonkey-2.22 Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I don't know how someone managed to have L-2.7b1 working on SM-2.22. For me (Gentoo build), it's utterly broken.
The <sarcasm>funny</sarcasm> thing is that, first, the add-on manager happily upgraded to L-2.6.2 which is marked as "Not available" for SM on the add-on page, so breakage #1. Then, having realized the trick, went on Developer Channel and tried L-2.7b1, breakage #2. So 200% failure, already 2 hours spent (user's voluntary free time, like in free hassle) and no other solution than resorting to Downgrade-It-All (TM) :-(
Sorry for being harsh, but getting Lightning to work stable on Seamonkey has become a nightmare.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
2.6.1 is broken on SeaMonkey too :-( Please, make more tests before delivering new releases! This is unprofessional policy that makes us wasting a lot of time.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.6.1).
Scroogle SSL search
Fix for SeaMonkey-2.2 Rated 4 out of 5 stars
To be able to use this plug-in with SeaMonkey-2.2, the URL node must be extended with two parameters as it follows:
<os:Url type="text/html" method="POST" template="https://ssl.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbwssl.cgi">
<os:Param name="Gw" value="{searchTerms}"/>
<!-- START Fix for SeaMonkey-2.2 -->
<os:Param name="ie" value="utf-8"/>
<os:Param name="oe" value="utf-8"/>
<!-- END Fix for SeaMonkey-2.2 -->
Either 'GET' or 'POST' method works fine.
Scroogle SSL search
Please port to SeaMonkey2.0 Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Just rating the (nice) idea for now. Please port it to SeaMonkey2.0,^m'e
[2011-08-11] Edit: I actually was able to use scroogle via a .src (pseudo) plug-in I wrote and pointing 'browser.search.defaulturl' to it, until I updated to SeaMonkey 2.2... and it doesn't work any more :-( AFAIK SM-2.2 now uses the same FF's search engine configuration mechanism, indeed installing/configuration now works. Though searching from the address bar seems broken -- I got the error "Sorry, but right now this server cannot connect to Google.", which is weird 'cause searching from Scroogle's SSL web form works. CGI parameter problem?
Sytem fonts please! Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Awesome! Please enhance to support system fonts.
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
What about pc-select mode? C- doesn't work though C-Shift- does, weird. And also C-_ (undo) doesn't work -- can't see any option in the configuration pop-up.
All in all, it's a bit difficult to interact with a mix of key bindings.
IMHO, the best of the two worlds would be to look at an init.el and honour basic options found there, plus scope-based enable/disable option, i.e. "textbox yes|no", "forms yes|no", "menus yes|no", "address-bar ..." etc.
Cheers, ^m'e
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Hi there. Very useful tool! Anyway, the bare arrow keys don't work in the address bar, when trying to select a proposed URL completion, nor in the [context] menus, on pages with a text box. C-x-up/down work as expected, but that's a bit uncomfortable. It would be nice to have an option to preserve the standard arrow keys functionality in these contexts. The 'Esc' key suffers from the same problem...This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.8).

Neuromuscular reeducation deals with retraining the brain and spinal cord in voluntary and reflex motor activities. Basic principles of neuromuscular physiology are applied clinically in the treatment of muscle paresis and paralysis. Physiological principles of both the muscular system and the nervous system are utilized, but more particularly the latter; strictly speaking, the term muscle reeducation is a misnomer, for only the nervous system is capable of being educated.
The strength of contraction of a given muscle is determined by the following factors: anatomic and physiological status of the muscle fibers at the time of contraction; number and synchrony of the contracting fibers; number and frequency of nerve impulses reaching the muscle fibers; functional status of the neuromuscular junctions; and structural and functional condition of the tissues surrounding the muscle fibers, such as blood vessels and connective tissue. It will be recalled that individual skeletal muscle fibers follow

Digital Art - Digital 3d Rendering/cgi
A solitary, twisted oak tree sits atop a tiny grassy hill at the bend in a shallow river.
Sometimes I like to just create a simple landscape image to pass the time.
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet) I go over the work adjusting colors adding brushwork painting in details etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris ZBrush Blender3d Vue Daz Studio and GIMP.

Martha Stewart's at Kmart, Changing the Sheets
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
Published: February 20, 1997
SHE prodded average Americans to consider quince preserves. She ratcheted up their sense of inadequacy because they did not press their vintage linens and whip up exotic omelets with eggs from their own chicken farms.
Now, she wants to take away their burgundy sheets.
She, of course, is Martha Stewart, and her remaking of the American bed and bath is part of a joint venture with the Kmart Corporation. Next month, Ms. Stewart will roll out her new line of sheets, towels, pillows and bed throws at Kmart stores.
The collection, named ''Everyday,'' also features coordinated bath rugs, shower curtains and a smattering of home accessories like toothbrush holders and drinking cups. Further, there are 256 house paints whose hues were inspired, Ms. Stewart said, by findings at her own homes and barns. And a video of Ms. Stewart explaining how to mix and match underscores the style-it-yourself aspect of the collection, which is already offered in 290 Kmart stores and will be in the rest of the 2,020-store chain by year's end.
The idea behind Everyday is to lure Middle Americans away from what Ms. Stewart sees as the often dismal offerings of lower-priced stores -- dark colors, polyester fabrics, fruit prints -- by giving them a taste of what shoppers with a lot more money and time for glue guns get from fancier outlets.
''I am trying to encourage the Kmart customer to be more luxurious,'' Ms. Stewart said last week, while touring the Manhattan showrooms of two sheet manufacturers that make the Everyday line.
Sheet research has shown that most Americans who buy linens in discount stores gravitate toward dark greens, blues and burgundies: colors that are perceived as rich and have the added benefit of hiding dirt and stains better than lighter tones. But this does not daunt Ms. Stewart. To her, the Kmart shopper, defined by the company as the low- to middle-income young mother, sleeps on gingham or at least green-leaf stripe.
Bounding across the showroom of Westpoint Stevens, which makes part of her line, Ms. Stewart grabbed a scarlet polyester valance hanging in the middle of nowhere and cried: ''See this? None!''
Since 1987, Ms. Stewart has been a life-style and home-entertaining consultant through a licensing agreement with Kmart, whose headquarters are in Troy, Mich. Some bed, bath, kitchen and table-top items have been sold under her name through that arrangement.
But the housewares program was a minor part of both Ms. Stewart's empire and Kmart's business. Indeed, under Joseph E. Antonini, the former chief executive of Kmart, the line floundered, along with the rest of Kmart's business, which was in danger of going bankrupt until recently. When Floyd Hall took the helm in 1995, he asked Ms. Stewart to jump-start the line.
Under the new deal, Ms. Stewart will receive royalties for the use of her name on products and a percentage of the gross profits from the line. Neither company would provide exact figures for the arrangement.
The collection will reach the shelves next month. It was shown to the press yesterday at Ms. Stewart's summer home in East Hampton, L.I., where she had made up the beds in her 11 bedrooms as well as out in the guest cottage.
The sheets and towels are broken down by fabric quality into two segments. The ''blue label'' sheets are 50-50 cotton and polyester, with a thread count of 180. They come in 10 prints, including an elegant ribboned pattern, and 11 solid colors with evocative J. Crew-like names, among them bone and pale sage. Ginghams, plaids and checks, Ms. Stewart said, were inspired by things she found in her apparently boundless attic.
Sheet sets (pillowcases included) begin at $12.99 for a twin in this line and go to $39.99 for king-size. Bed skirts and comforters are sold separately. For the bathroom there are matching towels and rugs; a lid cover is $5.99, a bath sheet $9.99.
The ''white label'' line is a step up, with a 200-thread-count sheet of 60 percent cotton, 40 percent polyester. Again, solids, prints and reversible sets abound in soft colors and subtle patterns. There are cotton thermal blankets in 100 percent cotton, as well as mattress pads and bed skirts.
The sheets are sold ''open stock'' -- piece by piece -- at prices from $5.99 for a twin to $21.99 for king-size. In the fall, a 100 percent cotton sateen sheet of 230 count will be introduced, along with 100 percent cotton flannel sheets.
There are also beach towels with patterns inspired, Ms. Stewart said, by a vacation she took in the Galapagos Islands. One features an iguana, another a blue-booted booby.
Ms. Stewart said she hoped to attract Kmart shoppers first to the less expensive lines, and eventually to have them ''shop up'' to the more expensive ones. The more expensive brands are also meant to draw in people who love Ms. Stewart but does not shop at Kmart. ''We're trying to get new customers with this,'' she said.
Indeed, these sheets are a huge step up for the Kmart shopper. While the 50-50 blend is a bit stiff, the white label has a nice feel, and the sateens are as good to the sleeper's touch as any from a department store.

Followed your recipe right on down & put together a very nice quiche! I pretty much chopped the spinach to death but then I wanted it totally incorporated into the whole thing! Made for a very satisfying breakfast! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in 123 Hits tag]
Lalaoula you did it aging. Very different, healthy, easy, filling, and testy. Made as writhen and unlike the privies reviewers mine held together fine. Used parmesan for the grated cheese as the recipe did not state what Lalaloula had used, think colby jack would also be good. The phyllo makes a wonderful light crust and the corn adds just a hint of sweetness. Thanks so much for the post.
A delicious quiche which I made last night and enjoyed a warmed slice of for this morning's breakfast. The filo pastry made for a lovey light crust. Having never been overly fond of corn, I used instead a combination of onion, garlic and leek, all of which I like and particularly love together. And I added some dried oregano, rosemary and sage - herbs are always essential ingredients for me! I used low-fat ricotta and low-fat feta as I've never found that the low-fat versions of the white creamy cheeses in any way compromise flavour. Since the previous reviewer had experienced difficulty with the filling holding together, I also added one egg. I'm going to be enjoying this for some take-to-work lunches. With the low-fat cheeses and so many of my favourite vegetables, this yummy quiche is a healthier food choice when one fancies quiche, so I shall certainly be making it again. Thank you for sharing another wonderful recipe, Lalaloula. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.
I never heard of a quiche that didn't have eggs! Very good recipe. I really like the phyllo pastry crust. This recipe makes me crave summer. The only problem I had was that the filling didn't really hold well.

12-4 Weak schedule in the beginning of the season which will allow our younger players to learn, Develop, and contribute later in the year.
12-4 Weak schedule in the beginning of the season which will allow our younger players to learn, Develop, and contribute later in the year.
We have improved nearly all around. Our secondary is going to be much better with Mitchell, with another year underneath Allen's belt and a chip on Ike's shoulder. Shazier will have some growing pains but is an instant upgrade over Williams and Jones should benefit from it being his second year. The OL should be better with Munchak. Running backs...Archer and Blount should add much. The only place of concern I agree is #2 WR and I think that plays itself out in camp...with a possible coup in starting two Brown's. If this team stays healthy 11-5 is very doable.

4.123 DE-Matt Judon-Grand Valley State
6.220 RB-Tyler Erwin-San Jose State
7.229 WR Geronimo Allison-Ilinois
7.246 QB-Cody Kessler-USC
The thing I love most about or WR situation is the fact that we wont have CRY BABIES who are demanding the ball. We can go back as far as CEDRIC WILSON days! remember that fool was crying about getting more passes thrown his way! Our one weakness can actually be a strength this year. Plug and Play any of our WR's and formations and keep the selfish out of the position. I personally like that about this year and we have some strong SKILL sets for some really cool formations this year.
Actually, Ced Wilson was too busy whining to the refs about pass interference for every pass thrown his way to cry about anything else.

2015 MNF Executive Champion!
Pouncey - All-pro (and at least 4 inflammatory tweets).
Shazier Rookie of the year
Bell 2000 rushing yards
Archer returns 6 kicks for TDs (punts and kick-offs)
Brown & Wheaton both go for over 1000 yards receiving
Mitchell highest INTs for safety in NFL
Tuitt 12 sacks
big question marks in the secondary. will ike regress more, can mitchell understand this defense, troy is due for his usually injuries.
ilb corp is counting on a rookie, a second year olb that flopped last year and a way overpriced 1/2 season player with a injury history and franchise tag on him
dline has lots to prove, thin and again counting on a rookie and a scrub FA.
can the oline finally get it together
can ben be injury free 2 years in a row?, hasnt happened in his career yet.
this team needs alot of luck to be real competitive this year. an easy schedule should allow us to win the division
'moral victories' are for losers
We will see either 12-4, 13-3 or 14-2.
Our losses will be from Carolina, Indianapolis, New Orleans and Kansas City.
Yeah. I said it. We sweep the division.
Since Flippy hasn't been around, I get the opportunity to be first to predict 19-0!!
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.

Open 2 lanes to New Falls of Neuse ArchivedIntersection Us1 And Us1a Wake Forest, North Carolina - Wake ForestThe right lane backup of US1 crossing traffic to New Falls of the Neuse could be reduced by making the middle lane an alternate straight through OR left turn, rather than just a left turn lane. Daily I see drivers using the left lane then suddenly going straight to avoid the traffic backup. There have been several "close calls" for accident avoidance by the straight through drivers, who have patiently waited through several stop light cycles to traverse that intersection. The recommended change should provide a short term solution until the intersection can be rebuilt.

We are becoming more aware of the chemicals in our food and water.
News about GMO's, polluted waters, and the use of pesticides on our fruits and vegetables have been receiving the limelight and for good reason. Just the words "cancer cluster" are enough to strike fear into anyone.
For some, a cancer cluster may have popped up in your community, which can send many reeling and in search for answers. Are there chemicals in our drinking water? Is most of our food genetically modified? What are the repercussions of consuming these chemicals regularly?
The documentary Unacceptable Levels aims to explore these questions. Film maker Ed Brown is a father on a quest to examine and expose the effects of these chemicals that are ingested by most of us, and our children, daily. His main objective is to prevent disease before it strikes.
Taken from the website promoting this film:
Over 80,000 chemicals flow through our system of commerce, and many are going straight into our bodies. Even our unborn children are affected. Due to this constant exposure, we have approximately 200 synthetic industrial chemicals interacting with our cells every single day. Until recently, modern science really didn't understand what that could mean for all of us in the long run, but that is changing.
Recently, this film has been under fire from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works for "featuring emotional and scare tactics" to promote their ideas.
In a letter issued by Senator David Vitter to Dr. Linda S. Birnbaum, Director of the National Institute of Environmental Sciences, questioning her participation in a panel discussion preceding the screening of this film.
"The film's promotional site reads, 'Over 80,000 chemicals flow through our system of commerce, and many are going straight into our bodies. Even our unborn children are affected.'
However, NTP claims that out of the more than 80,000 registered chemicals in the United States, 'relatively few chemicals are thought to pose a significant risk to human health.'
Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control states that the presence of an environmental chemical in human body fluids does not by itself mean that the chemical causes disease. For these reasons, I believe it is a conflict of interest for you to participate in an activist event such as the "Unacceptable Levels" tour."
You can see the full letter here.

WIP: American Flag Afghan
Hello, everybody! Haven't been around too much these days, been knitting up a storm! Besides teaching a "class" (helping friends :wink:) knitting booties, hats, and cardigans, (can't seem to get enough of those!), I'm working on this afghan. It has a double destination. IF I finish it in time, I want to enter it in our county fair, which is waaay too close as it is. And afterward, it will go to a friend of mine who no longer lives in the US, but misses it a lot. (And, it's really cold where he lives.)
It is driving me up the wall!!! It's just a plain stockinette stitch, so easy! Too easy!!! I hate it because it is 288 sts. long, and takes forever to knit a single row!!!!!!!!
I need some pats on the back, please, so I can finish it. :chair:
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a pic. Sorry, it's really fuzzy.
That's one of those things I wouldn't even attempt. WAY too much purling when you do stockinette. :zombie: More power to you! It's going to be beautiful!
Please keep us up to date on how this is going. This will be absolutely gorgeous :heart: when you finish it. I look forward to seeing photos as you progress.
It's going to be gorgeous! You've made great progress and you'll be up to the blue field of stars soon; still stockinette but at least a bit more varieation in color and pattern. I can't wait to see this wonderful county fair entry and gift complete.
We are all vigorously beating you on the back encouraging you on! It is going to be beautiful!!!!
Wow! You're amazing--and so is your knitting. Whether you finish this in time for the fair or not, your friend will love it. Making this is truly a labor of love (well, I don't want to stress labor too much, lest you give it up as too much work). You're doing a splendid job so far, and I can't wait to see the finished afghan!
Thank so much everyone!:muah:
It's still coming. I doubt I can finish it for the fair, being that I'm on the seventh stripe and the fair is next Tuesday, but that's okay. I'll post a pic tonight of the beginning 'star' work. :wink:
Pats on the back
Could you put place markers in so when you get to them it's a goal? I have trouble stopping before I hit a goal, so I love socks. Each step is the perfect amount of time to knit.
Then you can just focus on getting to the next marker instead of where you are in the row.:muah:
I love these types of blankets! They become FAMILY HEIRLOOMS!
Way to go! Keep on keepin' on! :thumbsup:

Revealing microstructural inhomogeneities with dark-field neutron imaging107(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3298440View Description Hide Description
Dark-field neutron tomography was applied to obtain three-dimensional volumetric data representing the distribution of micrometer and submicrometer sized structures in bulk samples. This is a size range that complements the range of direct spatial resolution. A phase grating setup implemented in a conventional imaging instrument enables corresponding tomographic investigations on reasonable time scales. Different samples were investigated and demonstrate the applicability of the method for the investigation of structural materials. Local variations in the small-angle scattering in BiSn, AlSi, and aluminum samples were mapped and the results are discussed with respect to the contrast formation of the method.
Jump properties of the tip magnetic field of a notch in a melt-processes yttrium-barium-copper-oxide bulk107(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3291116View Description Hide Description
We report on a direct measurement of the magnetic field properties at the tip of a notch in melt-processed bulks. In the case of the fixed notch angle, when the notch length increases and reaches a critical value, the tip magnetic field will increase and exceed the initial value of the sample without a notch. In the case of fixed notch length which is equal to the radius of superconducting bulk, the tip magnetic field increases at first and then decreases as the notch angle is over 90°. In addition, the rules of the change in the interaction force between the bulk superconductor and magnet are also reported. A simple physical model is used to interpret these experimental phenomena qualitatively.

Sorry for the foul language. But thats exactly what Jack ( aka subject Zero) said to my version of (Zen) Shepard when I got her to open up about her past. If your a gamer who enjoys a game with great writing then this is your game. Mass Effect 2 is a great game and thats why I'm torn in how I feel about it. I haven't beaten the game yet but I'm about 25 hrs in. I'm doing all I need to do before I go for broke and move the story forward. So this is not my final thoughts on the game overall.Its just I have been playing the game long enough to go beyond just an initial impression.
The first Mass Effect was one of the best looking games back then.Mass Effect 2 just improves on those visuals with better animation including facial animation that shows more emotion from the characters. The character models overall got a new coat of paint and look much better. Graphical glitches like clipping, textures taking to long to load, and game freezing are almost non existent compared to the first game. Once I saw Miranda I knda briefly regret porting my Shepard from the first game because its female. Miranda is hot and she knows it. Bioware created a sexy, yet smart and kinda bitchy character. Then made her look sexy,smart , and kinda bitchy which is pretty impressive..
Overall the graphics are awesome.My only gripe is the gaming enivroments while well rendered pretty much give away when your about to encounter the enemy. Crates and other enviromental objects are scattered about the area for your squad to take cover. And when you enter an open area that is loaded with or that has strategically placed crates you know you have to be prepared for a battle. Another gripe is I don't like how when you enter a new solar system you have a rinky dink ship to steer around the area. Its kinda hard for me to decribe how the game graphics look because ME 2 is basically ME 1 with a new coat of paint that got spit shined to perfection.
Here is where I'm torn. Gameplay wise in terms of battles ME 2 is very much improved over ME 1. In terms of RPG elements its almost non existent. Character progression is slow. I just reached level 17 and once I got an abilty maxed out and got more upgrades I finally feel like my Shepard is a bad ass. ME 2 I'm sorry to say is a straight up action title with character progression. This sites reviewer pretty much feels the way I feel. The only RPG elements are really in the story itself and what your choices are during conversations. As an action game ME 2 doesn't disappoint. Your success in battle is really determined by your skill in terms of shooting,using your abilities and strategy. In ME1 your characters strength was apparent every time you leveld up and applied points to your abilities and skills. Its not like that in ME 2. For one you can only level up after missions and not during missions. You only get like only 2 squad points every time you level up. And your abilities max out after you put a total of 10 squad points into 4 blocks.Once you unlock the 4rth block you pretty much chose whether you want the ability to last longer or do more damage. Since ME 2 pretty much got rid of loot (aquiring more guns, armor,ect) from enemy drops you have to either buy/find upgrades or scan planets for elements to make your own. The game doesn't force you to do this but in order to survive your going to have to. I'm sure you could probably cover and blast your way through the game without having to buy upgrades but it makes things easier.
So you can make your character and squad stronger through squad points( ie leveling up after missions) and through aquiring upgrades and finding what few guns there are through out the games areas. But it doesn't follow a traditional RPG way of character progression which solely depends on character progression through leveling up and aquiring loot to make your characters stronger. If your expecting ME 2 to be an RPG in a traditional sense you will be disappointed.
The only thing that keeps me enthralled with ME 2 is the story itself and not the gameplay. The battles are frantic and challenging.The games AI will keep you on your toes.Enemies take a bit longer to take down as well. If your an action gamer ME 2 is very solid.Sadly most action gamers will breeze through the game instead of taking their time and enjoying the great story and all it has to offer.
Odds and Ends::
* If you have played and beaten ME 1 by all means port that character into ME2. Bioware does a good job with story continuity. What you have done, who you have and han"t killed , basically your past will benefit you or haunt you. My character is pretty much a paragon to the core. so bumping into people from the previous game made me feel my actions from the previous game made their lives better and for some unsavory characters made it worse.
* Reconnecting with my old crew from ME 1 is some of the most emotional moments for me. If you really want to get the full scope of the storytelling in ME 2 complete all the major missions and side missions that make your crew members loyal to you. One of the most memorable side diversions is getting a bottle of brandy for a crew member. Once I give it to the person I decide to join them in drinking.Doing so opened up why that character decided to be with you on the Normandy. Not only are these missions personal for the characters involved they also allow you to pick up any one bonus ability from those who are loyal to you.You also get spiffy alternative outfits for those characters as well.
* Another story perk is listening to the NPC's conversations around you.They can be funny as hell and some lead to mini side quests.
*Scanning plants for upgrade materials while tedious is very rewarding and will save you money in the long run.
* Enemies pack a punch. ME 2 is not a run and gun game. Sure your success is dependent on your shooting skills and tactics. But player progression is slow . Until you get some key body and weapon upgrades you will not feel anything like the bad ass you were in ME 1. Its ridiculous how tough it is to take some enemies down in ME 2. A class with biotic abilities is essential to suviving the tough battles. In ME 1 if you picked Soldier as a class you could run and gun to victory. Its not the same in ME 2.The good thing is that most of the people availible in your squad got some biotic abilities.
* Speaking of your squad their AI is very good. They get killed on occasion when you allow them to do their own thing but they hold their own in a fight more so than you do early in the game . You really only have to worry about keeping yourself alive .
Like I posted earlier I'm not done with the game yet. I was one of the lucky pre order customers that got a card with the Cereberus Activation code. So I just got through downloading an xtra character and got an extra mission that I'm sure is going to be a tear jerker. If you want to know what they are send me a msg and I'll tell ya.
ME 2 thus far is a really engrossing action title.Calling it an RPG is basically false advertising because ME 2 is far from an traditional RPG as you can get. I feel Bioware decided to take a calculated business risk.Sure they took player feed back to heart but they also decided to get all corporate EA like by appealing to a "mass"(pun intended) audience by pretty much eliminating core RPG elements that most non RPG gamers don't care about.They decided to risk alienating the RPG fans of ME 1 because of the fact that they had a safety net with Dragon Age ::Origins being a true RPG experience. The story and voice acting alone pretty much is what is going to keep fans of the first Mass Effect from trashing ME 2. I'm sure the action junkie ME fans could care less as long as the gameplay fills their needs. But I do agree that Bioware needs to find a balance between the RPG and action elements. It needs to have at least 55 % RPG elements in order to even be considered an RPG. ME 2 as a game is very good thus far though and belongs in your game collection. It gets an 8 out 10 for now until I beat it and feel it deserves a higher score. Stay tuned.

Damn Spam Bots! Too Smart!
Over the weekend I had 4 spam comments posted to the site. Granted 3 of them were from the same bot, but still, this irks me. Last week I implemented a new de-spamming protocol and it seems that it is not tough enough. I am going to leave it in place for a bit longer to see how it goes. I apologize for any spam emails that people get (via comment posts). If this continues, I will update the ColdFusion / HTML code.

Once I had problem with breaking my captcha by spammers, but it was solved with asking to enter result of math operation instead of dummy copying of image characters.
Are you SURE it was a bot? Only thing to bear in mind is that some spammers pay people to submit comments as well. Just a thought. Wouldn't want you going crazy trying to create a CAPTCHA that would fool human spammers!
Are you using CFAkismet? If not you should, we've been using it at my work blog and it's been awesome. (blog.d-p.com)... let me know if you need more info on it, but you should be able to find it at riaforge, or via a google search ;)
what Peter said.. I get a few spam comments each week that are entered by humans.
I use a system that looks in the comment for URLs and compares it with a blacklist that I've built. If a human tries to submit a comment that contains a blacklisted URL (or word actually..) then the comment is rejected. That cuts down some on the human entered spam.
Oh man! I didn't know that some spamming out there was human. How freakin' underhanded is that?!? I guess this begs the question: Who irritates me more, telemarketers that call at dinner time, or human spammers? Hmmmm, yeah, I ask the tough questions.
That CFAkismet service looks very cool. I am surprised that I have not seen more about it. I see that it is not quite a 1.0 release but it is a really awesome idea. I will look more into it.
So far I have not gotten any more spam than the few this weekend. If it pops up again though, I might have to start checking the content of the comment. This is something I'm not crazy about as it's never 100% accurate and I don't want to err on the bad side (and I don't want to build in a manual approval system).
We shall see.

After driving for 10 hours we arrived at Hotel Ariston and to our pleasant surprise we were upgraded to a suite in the Royal Palace with a wonderful view of the sea, two bathrooms, king size bed, a wet bar big balcony and a sitting room. When the friendly staff realized we were from Canada we were introduced to the hotel manage who happens to be from Toronto. From then on we were treated like royalty. The hotel has been renovated to Canadian standards including marble floors among too many things to mention. It was beautiful, clean, spacious with lots of closet room. One of the bathrooms had two sinks and a large bathtub with a shower. That is a 5 star hotel. We loved every minute we spent there but were only able to stay for three days. Our next trip will be for a week or more! It also has a indoor pool, exercise room, Turkish bath as well as a wellness centre. What A GREAT HOTEL. We will never stay anywhere else. The hotel also supplied umbrellas for our trip to old town.
