A good muffin. Mine baked in quite a bit less than 45 minutes. I'm glad I peeked in on them early because they were pretty well done. They were a little more dense than I was expecting, but still a nice muffin. Thanks.
Great flavor and turned out moist. I used walnuts instead of pecans though, as that is what I had on hand, but otherwise made as written. I did the loaf version, but looking forward to making muffins next time.
A very easy and tasty bread. I made mine with a few changes, based on personal preferences and what I had on hand. Like Boomette, I used all-purpose flour only; used walnuts instead of pecans; white sugar instead of brown; and oil instead of butter. The bread browned nicely and developed that classic quick-bread "crack" along the top -- simply beautiful! The texture, though, was a little strange to me... the top was very crumbly, and the bread itself seemed moist but managed to dry my mouth out anyway. The flavor was fantastic, though! I will have to try this again when I have actual bread flour in the house, and see what a differene that might make.
I used only all purpose flour. I used Splenda instead of brown sugar. That's maybe why the bread isn't dark (but the taste is amazing). I used pecans mmmmmmm I didn't use nutmeg but used cardamom. Instead of butter, I used oil with applesauce. The mixture was too dry so I added applesauce and milk.
I loved the spice flavor of this bread. It's dense, but still moist. I checked the loaf after baking one hour, and it was definitely ready to come out of the oven. 1 1/2 hours would have been too much. Very nice for breakfast!
really nice bread .dee

The best chili depends on the slow, careful stacking of flavor, building tons of complexity and ultimately ending with a kind of can't-quite-put-your-finger-on-it smoky spiciness that your guests won't quite be able to figure out. Think of our Clif Family Kitchen Porcini Spice Rub as your secret ingredient adding a dose of rich, mysterious savoriness to this easy-to-make chili or your own favorite chili recipe.
3 Tbsp Clif Family Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 lbs ground beef
1 ½ cup onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 Tbsp Clif Family Kitchen Porcini Spice Rub
3 Tbsp Chili Powder(s)*
2 - 28 oz cans diced tomatoes, with juice not drained
1 cup water, beef broth, brewed coffee or lager beer - depending on taste preference
1 - 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 - 15 oz can white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Suggested garnishes: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced scallions
In a large, heavy pot or a medium enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil. Add half of the ground beef and cook over high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Brown the remaining ground beef. Return the first batch of browned beef to the pot. Add minced onions to the pot and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic, porcini spice rub and chili powder(s). *To increase taste complexity, consider using a blend of standard spice-shelf chili powder, ancho powder-a bit sweet and chipotle powder- adds smokiness, blended to amount to 3 Tbsp. total. Cook stirring occasionally until the spices are aromatic about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the canned tomatoes and water or liquid of choice, bring to a boil, then quickly turn down heat and simmer the chili over low heat until reduced by 1/3, about an hour. Stir occasionally. Add the beans and heat through. Season with salt to taste. Garnish and enjoy!

Spring is in the air in the Napa Valley. The patio at Velo Vino is buzzing with people out to sip wine, the days are longer, and the vines are beginning to push green growth. For winemakers and viticulturalists, bud break is our new beginning, a new opportunity to make another vintage of great wines.
As the buds break, we have a lot of exciting happenings at the Clif Family Estate. First, we are thrilled to welcome spring after a fairly wet winter. During drought times, spring often comes with apprehension, with hope for one more wet weather pattern before summer sets in. However, the winter of 2016 brought more than 42 inches of rain to the Howell Mountain AVA. With 5 inches above normal, we feel confident that reservoirs are full and wells are replenished.
Though, we continue to be completely obsessed with the weather! This winter, we installed two weather stations – one at the Cold Springs Estate and one at the Home Farm. These stations will allow us to remotely monitor temperature, humidity, dew point, rainfall, and the accumulation of degree days. So, from now until early June, we will carefully watch the weather stations for early morning frost. Our phones will ring in the wee hours of the morning to let us know that it's near freezing. With those alarms, the frost fans turn on to push the cold air up to mix with the warmer air above, raising the temperature at ground level. This effect will help protect the new growth from any frost damage.
Finally, this week marked our very first regular vineyard meeting to monitor vine progress. We will begin to mow the cover crops, then start our organic spray cycle for mildew control. We will quickly progress to cultivation and weed control before moving on to sucker removal.
And so begins another season and the start of the 2016 vintage for Clif Family!

Chef John created these delicious Cheese Balls using our Clif Family Kitchen Smoked Paprika Almonds to pair with our Clif Family Petite Sirah.They quickly became the star of the party at our recent wine club release weekend.
Spread softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle on the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, diced red pepper, salt, Worcestershire and lemon juice. With a sturdy spatula mix ingredients until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding salt to taste.
To achieve a higher nut-to-cheese mixture ratio we prefer to make 3 varying size cheese balls instead of one large one. Scrape the mixture into small plastic wrap-lined round bowls; gather up plastic around cheese, shaping into balls. Chill until firm, 3-12 hours. Just before serving, unwrap cheese ball and roll in chopped smoked paprika almonds until covered. Serve with crostini.

I live on a quiet road in the heart of the Napa Valley, surrounded by vineyards. My yard is bright green with all this winter rain and the recently pruned vineyards are clean, crisp and beautiful. The view is stunning. Though, I came home one day last week to bright yellow stripes throughout the vineyards – a sure sign that Round-up was sprayed to control weed growth at the base of the vines. I couldn't help but feel disappointment and concern. Is the air and the dirt contaminated? Will these chemicals reach our drinking water? Will I track these pesticides into my home on the soles of my shoes?
Prior to my time at Clif Family Winery, I had never worked with organically farmed grapes. There was always an interest, but the added costs and associated risks to the crop were inhibiting factors. When I joined the Clif team, I was interested and exited to begin to understand what it meant to farm grapes organically. (All three of the Clif Family Winery Estate vineyards, as well as the Farm, are CCOF certified.) With one season under my belt, I have a much broader perspective on the topic and a fond appreciation for these sustainable practices.
What does it mean to farm organically? In the most simple terms, our grapes are grown on soils that are free of prohibited substances, such as synthetic pesticides, ensuring our fruit is not contaminated. In the vineyard, we use only CCOF approved applications for mildew control, we dig up weeds rather than kill them with chemicals, and we release predatory mites to control damaging mite populations. These practices do cost more, due to higher priced products and labor intensive processes. The results – our dirt and grapes will be free of toxic pesticides, keeping you, our farm workers and our neighbors healthy.
So, after a year of working under these new, healthier and more environmentally friendly conditions, I am now a huge proponent of organic farming and organic eating. At the grocery store, I will now choose the $6 box of organic raspberries over the $4 box of non-organic. And, when I look out the window at the conventionally farmed vineyards that surround me, I know that as a community, we can do better.

From the Bruschetteria Food Truck
Recipe by Chef John McConnell
One of the most popular items on our Bruschetteria Food Truck menu is the farm fresh Cavalo Salad. This salad brings together kale, cabbage and apples from the Clif Family Farm, tossed with a garlic-anchovy dressing. It's delicious as a side salad for one of our seasonal bruschetta or on its' own as a simple and healthy lunch.
Salad Ingredients:
1 medium head kale, washed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 small head of cabbage, chopped into 1 inch pieces
2 large apples, chopped into ½ inch pieces
¼ cup pecorino, grated fine
Dressing Ingredients:
5 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 TBSP: capers, drained
1 TBSP: anchovy filets packed in oil, rinsed and squeezed of excess oil
1 TBSP: plus Dijon mustard (slightly heaping tablespoon measure)
2 TBSP + 2 tsp: fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup: neutral vegetable oil (safflower, canola, grapeseed or light olive oil)
1/4 cup: Clif Family Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 to 3 dashes: Asian fish sauce (add to taste)
Mash the garlic, capers and anchovies together, either in a mortar with a pestle or on a cutting board with a chefs' knife. Transfer to a bowl if not using a mortar. Add the mustard and lemon juice, stir to mix well. Measure the two oils into a cup measure with a pouring spout. Slowly pour a thin stream of oil into the dressing ingredients as you stir vigorously with the pestle or whisk to create an emulsion. Once emulsified, add a few dashes of fish sauce and whisk until incorporated, taste for seasoning.
To assemble the salad, mix the kale, cabbage, and apples. Liberally dress with garlic-anchovy vinaigrette coating all ingredients evenly and sprinkle with pecorino.

2--8-ounce filets fresh snapper, skin removed
2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp Clif Family Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp Clif Family Kitchen Gewürztraminer Salt
1 tsp pink peppercorns, crushed
2 stalks celery, shaved thin
Seasonal garnishes such as shaved beets, radishes, edible flowers and micro greens
Season both sides of each snapper filet with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Set the filets on a paper towel lined plate and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, depending on the thickness of the filets. This is a quick cure or crudo that allows for the salt to increase firmness of the raw fish and rid it of taste impurities. After 2-3 hours, wash any excess salt from the snapper and pat dry. With a very sharp knife, cut thin slices of crudo and arrange on a platter. Drizzle the snapper crudo with CFK Olive Oil, and lemon juice. Sprinkle CFK Gewürztraminer Salt and crushed pink peppercorns directly on top of the fish. Garnish with celery and delicate farm fresh produce. Enjoy with a glass of chilled Clif Family Gewürztraminer or Rosé Of Grenache.

There are a burgeoning number of solutions out there, but Messless wins out with a catchy name and an even catchier design.
The principle here is no different to other charging stations we have seen, but the Messless will look much more elegant in your house. It looks more like a miniature designer coffee table than a gadget charger.
It is constructed from plastic with a round base and a round top with a clear overhang that edges things beautifully. You could mistake it for glass, although it's obviously not. The top has the tips protruding through, looking like the shoots of a really techy plant pot.
The top is actually spring loaded, designed so you can push it down so it clicks, then swap the tips around to the configuration you want. The tips unplug and when you remove them, you'll find they are simply connected using USB connections plugged in to the circuit board inside.
Pressing the top once again will see it spring back into the original position, giving you that seamless look around your charging tips. Having the top moving does mean that you aren't pulling the charging tips out by grasping their vital parts, but it does mean the whole device is slightly less sturdy than you want to it be.
Plug it in and connect the power cable to the base of the unit and it sits neatly waiting to receive your favourite gadgets. The selection of tips is perhaps a point of contention. The selection that you receive includes: Nokia large, Nokia small, Sony Ericsson (wide one), iPod/iPhone, Mini-USB, Sony's PSP/Reader.
The glaring omission here is Micro-USB, of course, the standard for smartphones and many other portable gadgets. The PSPGo now uses a new connector, but you can charge one of Sony's Readers on the Messless standing straight up. Before you dismiss the Messless as providing obsolete connections, you can also buy Micro-USB, Sony Ericsson (narrow one), Samsung and Nintendo DS tips; each costs €9.50 from the Messless website. http://onlineshop.yourmessless.com/init
You could, technically, remove the tip and plug in your own cable if you want to charge anything else, but that sort of defies the "messless" idea here.
The Messless is sold "as is" in the pack. We'd have liked to see an order-what-you-need approach, but we guess that wouldn't be cost effective, as each unit would have to be made up individually, so expecting you to buy extra tips is forgivable: not including the now industry standard mobile phone tip is not and we hope that they make an exchange in the future from the current defaults.
In use it all works as you'd expect, you plug in your gadget and it charges, with a blue LED indicating that a connected device is getting its juice. The PSP tip has been designed to accept the PSP on its side so is slightly raised to fit the sculpting of the handheld gaming console, so if you do use it for a Sony Reader for example, it won't be the most stable.
The proof of the pudding, they say, is in the eating, and for us the Messless did more than it deserved. Once it was setup at the end of the desk, it was all too easy to leave it in place to charge various gadgets as and when we needed it. You can realistically fit four devices on the surface of the Messless, and because they mostly stand up, they are easy to grab and go, without disturbing everything else that is charging.
Overall what we love about the Messless is that you can leave it sitting somewhere in your house without it making the place look messy, it can be easily moved around and easily customised to your needs too. It's just a shame about that Micro-USB, which for us, would have made this a winner.

Another Country (1984)
Judd: All problems solved for life. No commies and no queers.
Fowler: I have half a mind to ask Barclay for permission to beat you!
Tommy Judd: Well, you've half a mind. We can all agree on that.
Guy Bennett: Fame or infamy, what does it matter? I shan't be forgotten.
Fowler: Are you trying to be clever or something?
Tommy Judd: I don't have to try, I am clever.
Guy Bennett: But you couldn't help it, could you? Because in your heart of hearts, like Barclay and Delahay and Fowler and Menzies, you still believe, in spite of your talk of equality and fraternity, you still believe some people are better than others because of the way they make love. Now, think of that for a lifetime. Think of the names: pansy, nancy, fairy, fruit, brown-nose.
Tommy Judd: You know... What I really hate about cricket, is that it is such a damned good game.
Guy Bennett: Ah! Judd's Paradox. Of course, cricket is a fundamental part of the capitalist conspiracy.
Tommy Judd: Of course.
Guy Bennett: One only has to observe the two of them seen. There's the Proletariat forced to labour in the field, while the Bourgeoisie indulges in the pleasures of batting and bowling.
Tommy Judd: Quite.
Guy Bennett: I mean, there's every reason to suppose
Guy Bennett: ... that the game ultimately derives from the wholly unjustified right of the medieval lord to the unpaid labour of villains and serfs at haymaking and harvest.
Tommy Judd: You know, you're really beginning to get the idea.
Guy Bennett: Thanks.
Guy Bennett: There's a little hollow at the base of his throat which make me want to pour honey all over him, and lick it off again.

Product Description
Product Description
Vinyl LP repressing. Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison fully captures Cash's gritty intensity and hard-headed humanity, capturing a high-energy set performed for an equally spirited audience.
Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom Prison suddenly made the world at large take notice. The interaction of a volatile prison population starved for entertainment and a desperately on-form Johnny Cash was electrifying. His somber machismo finally found a home. The songs, which included every prison song Cash knew ("I Got Stripes," "The Wall," "25 Minutes to Go," "Cocaine Blues," plus his own "Folsom Prison Blues") were tailored to galvanize the crowd. This set is all about atmosphere. Live at the Grand Ole Opry this ain't. The 1999 version drops the San Quentin portion of the original CD reissue, instead adding three cuts to complete the full and uncensored Folsom show. --Colin Escott --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

From the opener "Folsom Prison Blues," through the addictive (no pun intended) "Cocaine Blues" and the epitomy of gallows humor ("25 Minutes to Go"), this CD is a pure classic. Through such classics as "Orange Blossom Special" and the powerful adultery/murder song "Long Black Veil," you'll wonder how the CD could get any better. When the humorous tunes "Dirty Ol Egg Suckin Dog" and "Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart" meet your ears, you'll think you're in heaven. When June Carter lets loose her growled vocals on "Jackson," you'll know your beyond heaven. The pounding "John Henry" will hammer it in that you're listening to PURE COUNTRY MUSIC, while the closing "Greystone Chapel" (written by one of the inmates present at the concert) reminds you what this album is all about.
Wow. That was a lot of words right there--but not enough. You know who Johnny Cash is. You've probably heard of this album before. JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON is an album that you need--whether you're a fan of country, rock, disco, hip-hop, what have you. Cash trascends typical musical genres. Cash is a legend who will be sorely missed. AT FOLSOM PRISON is just a small piece of his legacy--but it's a damn good piece.
Johnny Cash takes full advantage of the unusual circumstances, drawing energy from the literally captive audience, and creating an intense atmosphere which results in one of the most raw and stimulating performances you'll ever hear.
("This show is being recorded for an album released on Columbia Records", Cash says, "-so you can't say hell or sh*t or anything like that!")
Country weepers like "I Still Miss Someone" and "Green, Green Grass Of Home" may have seemed smaltzy if performed by an artist with less panache, but the imposing Johnny Cash imbues every song with dignity and sincerity.
Almost all of the nineteen songs performed has do to with death, prison, violence, drugs, loneliness, loss and regret, but "Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison" never becomes morose; Cash delivers songs like "Cocaine Blues", "Folsom Prison Blues", "The Wall" and "25 Minutes To Go" with conviction and a singular mix of seriousness and dark, acerbic humor, making this album a sublime concert album, one which truly couldn't have been recorded in the studio. One of the finest records of the 60s, and a must-have for anyone even remotely interested in the music of Johnny Cash.
This isn't a singles record, this is an album; you put it on to hear the whole thing. The performance itself is tight and structured, just like the venue. The recording is especially atmospheric - the reverb bouncing off the concrete walls, the sounds of doors slamming in the background, and an interruption by a prison announcement. Cash and the band (which includes the brilliant Luther Perkins, and his brother Carl - think Blue Suede Shoes) seem unflappable and completely at ease, belying the actual tension of the gig.
This reissue restores the original recording to its raw, warts-and all-feel, in direct contrast to the sanitized version that I grew up with: four songs have been restored to the set due to increased available length, plus Cash's interaction with the audience and the profanity (tasteful by today's standards) has been re-introduced, revealing the incredibly gritty nature of this record. Plus, the packaging is incredible: the handwritten note from Cash, describing why he felt compelled to make this album, the liner notes, and an appreciation from Steve Earle round out the package to create not merely a reissue, but a full restoration.
If you are hungry for something more substantial than the latest Clapton disc or Zeppelin reissue, you won't regret a minute of this terrific album.

Product Description
From Amazon
In her previous novels, including the bestselling Playing for the Ashes, George has developed the characters of forensic scientist Simon St. James, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers to a fine degree. In this, her eighth novel, the secret love child of an ambitious politician and a sleazy tabloid publisher is kidnapped. When Scotland Yard gets involved, Lynley and Havers must elude death as they search for the child and her kidnappers. An insightful and haunting novel of ideals corrupted and retribution visited upon the heads of the innocent. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
After seven outings (the last was Playing for the Ashes), upper-crust Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and his stubby, working-class sergeant, Barbara Havers, have formed a comfortable working relationship, which George plays to perfection here. Ten-year-old Charlotte, daughter of Conservative MP Eve Bowen, is abducted after leaving a weekly music lesson not far from her London home. Dennis Luxford, editor for a tabloid-style, decidedly anti-Conservative newspaper, receives a message threatening Charlotte unless he acknowledges her paternity. Bowen, a rising star in the Home Office, chooses to avoid using the police, knowing that disclosure of her brief, long-ago fling with Luxford will ruin her politically. She agrees with Luxford to ask forensic scientist Simon St. James and his assistant Lady Helen (who is Lynley's lover) to investigate undercover. But soon a murder draws in Scotland Yard, allowing Lynley and Havers to lead a complicated investigation to its electrifying and astonishing conclusion. This absorbing tale, in which retribution for the sins of the parents is exacted from-and by-their children, raises questions of parental love and responsibility on several levels. George's fully developed characters will live with the readers long after the last page is turned. Mystery Guild selection; Literary Guild alternate; BDD Audio.

Ms George knows how to sustain her readers' attention in tales that are not only suspenseful but finely crafted and delightfully intricate. With "In the Presence of the Enemy" she once more proves that she is one of the best classic British mystery novelist today.
The story opens with the kidnapping of young Charlotte Bowen. The kidnapper(s) demand her father, publisher Dennis Luxford to pay an unusual ransom, " Divulge on the front page of his newspaper that he has fathered a child in a loveless tryst with Eve Bowen ". But Eve, a high ranking influential member of parliament hesitates and refuses to go along with the demand. She believes that Dennis has engineered everything to discredit her and is so convinced it is a hoax she steadfastly refuses to involve the authorities.
The story advances at a rapid pace and the plot thickens when another child disappears. After realizing the determination of the kidnapper(s), Inspector Lynley and Detective Havers from Scotland Yard are called upon and brought up to speed. Following this duo as they piece clue after clue is a riveting experience, the writer plunges us into an adrenaline filled game of cat and mouse.
Ms George spoon feeds her readers tit-bits of information seemingly leading them down the garden path and at just the right time she jumps track and throws her readers completely off balance. Being unpredictable helps pique the readers interest even more.
Along with the main plot, interlaced are sub-plots involving Lynley's financé Helen who is wrestling with her own demons and making a small but important appearance is forensic scientist Simon and his wife Deborah. All the characters are believable although not all likeable but definitely all expertly drawn to keep us captivated. This is a suspense filled mystery from start to finish, one of Ms George's best.
1. As another reviewer said, the perp sort of came out of left field. His or her motivations were explained after the identity was revealed, but it felt to me like one of those scenes in "Mission Impossible II" where the "good guys" kept pulling off their fake faces and turning out to be the bad guys.
2. The climax includes a scene that's almost identical to one in Payment in Blood (which happens to be the last one I read), where a woman, while alone with a man, receives a phone call informing her that the man is probably the murderer. It's a good suspense-builder, but not as effective the second time.
3. It was pretty obvious in the final confrontation who was going to save the day, though it was apparently intended as a surprise twist.
All that said, though, I thought this was really fine stuff. I thought the "temporary" characters (Eve Bowen, Dennis Luxford, their families, etc.) were very well drawn, and I enjoyed the further development of the recurring ones (Lynley, Havers, Simon, Deborah, and Helen). I do often hate Lynley and wonder why his friends put up with him, but he generally redeems himself eventually. And like the other reviewer, I agree that Barbara deserves at least a little happiness.
This mystery suspense thriller opens with the kidnapping of Charlotte, a.k.a. Lottie, a.k.a. Charlie, the ten-year old daughter of Eve Bowen, the Undersecretary of State for Britain's Home Office. Lottie, we soon discover, is the result of a brief but torrid romance with one Dennis Luxford while Eve attended a political conference eleven years previous. Now, Dennis is the editor in chief of The Source, a "tawdry and noisome" tabloid that has achieved spectacular gains in circulation by exposing the scandalous behavior of Eve's peers in the Tory government. The kidnapper is demanding that Luxford acknowledge his firstborn child on the front page of The Source. The problem is no one except Eve and Luxford are supposed to know that he is Lottie's daddy, and be it known, Eve's political career will be ruined. Certain that Luxford has staged Lottie's disappearance so he can print her humiliating disgrace, Eve hardly acknowledges that "she's gone missing." But the reader knows Dennis is innocent.
Elisabeth George develops this confused situation into an intricate and superbly plotted mystery with well-developed characters and rich dialogue. George writes in the King's (or is it the Queen's?) English, though. You might wonder what's going on when the sprat is told to shut his gob or he'll be gated for talking bosh. But then, it's a mystery isn't it.
Whether or not you're a fan of British mystery genre novels, this is a highly recommended read.

Gun PlayStation 2
- Publisher: Activision
- Release Date: Nov 8, 2005
- Also On: PC, Xbox 360
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The core gameplay is very refined and every aspect of the presentation is top-notch. If the game was a bit longer, there really wouldn't be anything to complain about.
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKA brilliantly told story in an immersive world. If the plot doesn't keep you entertained, then the variety of missions certainly will. [Christmas 2005, p.112]
If there's a nit to pick with Gun, it's that it's short. Depending on how much you poke around, you can beat it in anywhere from six to ten hours. To us, that's no problem; we'll take a short amazing game over a long lackluster one any day.
You're treated to an interesting plot, fun, sandbox-style gameplay, and atmosphere thick enough to choke a horse. It's honestly one of the most fun titles out there, and occasionally so over-the-top as to be downright hilarious.
If you can appreciate the source materials, and the historical significance behind them, you'll get a lot out of this.
If you're a meticulous type who likes to see and do everything a game has to offer then you're going to enjoy this. If you enjoy 3D action/shooters, you'll find this title fits like a glove.
Game InformerGun surrounds you with characters and a story that put their own stamp on the genre and make you a participant in a grand adventure that stands up to the rich tales of the legendary west. [Dec 2005, p.150]
It looks awesome (even on the PS2!), uses cutscenes to its advantage, and didn't forget to include great gameplay.
One of the best action games to come along in recent memory. It's unfortunate that the experience ends so quickly, but few games twice as long leave behind such a lasting impression as remains after completing this adventure in the Old West.
Though the experience may not be long, nor is it as epic as it's made out to be, what's there is genuinely entertaining most of the time and faithfully captures the rough-and-tough atmosphere of the frontier.
A no-holds-barred, straight up western that certainly deserves a good look. The major flaw is how quick it is to finish and how easy it is to complete 100% of the tasks the game has to offer.
An absolute blast to play. The only issue I have with it is that, even with all the side-quests (excluding your gold hunt) the game is rather short. Everything else is superbly set together.
What it does lack is a good multiplayer element. That makes the game seem "done" once you beat it. It isn't a short game to beat, but after you're done there's no online play to make you go back to it.
It's a game that truly brings the Wild West to life with its good story, interesting side missions and leather-slapping action. While it's on the short side, the ride is fun while it lasts.
At least if you do take in everything the game has to offer on the first sitting, you'll easily feel like you've had a fulfilling experience, but unlike a GTA game, it's pretty unlikely that you'll come back for more once you've finished.
The interesting thing about Gun, however, is that it mixes broad free-roaming aspects with some of the most tightly scripted missions we've seen in any game -- quite an achievement for an original game from a company known for skateboarding titles.
You've got a rich and compelling narrative, a twitch-happy gun mechanic, and a big landscape in which to explore. On the other hand, the controls are loose and a little sloppy, the targeting perimeter around each character is way too big and forgiving, so it's easy to be a bad shooter, and the vast landscape doesn't have much in it.
Thanks to one of the best storylines we've seen in quite a while (as well as a heaping helping of good old-fashioned violence), Gun isn't a gaming experience that we'll soon forget.
The quality story, strong voice acting, vast landscape, and competent combat make for an all round solid action-adventure experience.
The scope of the environments are vast, but empty in this free-roam open ended adventure.
A welcome newcomer to the tumbleweed-strewn Wild West genre, with its big vision, good looks and explosive temperament. A little more free-roaming woudn't have gone amiss, but it's still a rip-roarin' ride. [PSW]
The storyline in place here is good, even if the final boss fight and ending are maddeningly off target. But the game is more than the storyline, it's the experience, and that much of things is quite solid indeed.
This is not merely about killing anything that moves (though it helps), since horse-riding and poker playing are among the many other skills needed along the way.
Play MagazineThe big surprise comes from the strength of the narrative, which crackles with snappy dialogue and characters that show real emotion. [Jan 2006, p.47]
Graphically Gun is as pretty as a peach. The motions of both man and beast are well captured and even close up, they look beautifully textured, very tangible.
A solid game that, on all platforms, performs admirably, draws you into the story, takes itself (and you) seriously, and does the genre proud. It's too thin around the waist to really tangle with the big boys.
PSM MagazineIt forgets the most important thing - toys. [Jan 2006, p.73]
Despite its short length, it's a hugely enjoyable, polished game, and one that's easy to recommend to anyone interested in the subject matter.
The experience just doesn't last long enough to be savored. Gun's main story missions are exciting, but the main plot is over so quickly that the whole thing just ends up feeling rushed, and the various side missions aren't compelling enough to hold your interest after the end credits roll.
netjakThe free-roaming feel of the Old West writ small, this is a game you can finish, complete, and conquer within the space of an average rental. But, on that count, rent this game!
The majority of the game is one long gunfight, shifting between a traditional free-looking aim to lock-on, slow-mo shooting. It's good stuff, if you don't mind your foes acting like targets in a carnival game.
Some things are incredible. Some things are dull. It seems that the game's good points outweigh the bad though – even if only by a bit.
Whilst the production values of GUN are high in every possible way, it's let down by a short campaign and an overly structured dynamic of side-missions.
AceGamezIt has interesting features and plenty of action and intense shootouts to keep you entertained (especially when you get your grubby hands on the gatling gun) but between these parts you're left wandering around a dull environment with very little to keep you occupied.
A classic example of style over substance. Superb production values, but there's no real meat in the underlying game.
Gun does have its moments, but it never fully comes together and ends way too soon. [Jan 2006, p.82]
Gun is intense and packed with violence and action, but it is extremely brief and tends to overdose on the M-rated excesses.
Average at best. The great voice acting and the solid graphics are just not enough to keep the game afloat. Somewhat shoddy controls and the lack of depth just drag this title down too much.

Sep 28, 2015Gun is a great game! There is the nice story mode, but there's also the enjoyable free roaming with a lot of side missions. Riding your horseGun is a great game! There is the nice story mode, but there's also the enjoyable free roaming with a lot of side missions. Riding your horse on the prairie is so much fun! Riding your horse through the city wielding your guns and shooting at dogs and people walking in the streets is equally satisfying.
This game is like the predecessor of Read Dead Redemption on the PS3, even more so than Red Dead Revolver was because that game didn't have the chance to explore the map in free roam.
The only thing missing in this game is a split screen multiplayer mode. Read Dead Revolver on the other hand did have that option. Because of the free roaming in Gun with the excellent option to ride your horse anywhere you like, I prefer Gun more than Read Dead Revolver. But since I own both games I don't really have to chose between them.
I rate Gun 10 out of 10.… Full Review »

1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to framing synchronization in digital transmission systems and, in particular, to a novel technique of frame error detection and search control which allows a comparison of up to n bits on the occurrence of each framing clock pulse while an out-of-frame condition exists in a system which does not employ alternating framing bit sequences.
Most systems which have addressed the problem of reframing upon loss of synchronization have been concerned with framing patterns in which the framing pattern has been "winking", i.e., at the frame bit location the framing bit will alternately be a binary "1" and then a binary "0". One such system which employs an eight bit store and a frame control is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,742,139, entitled "Framing System for T-Carrier Telephony," inventor M. A. Baehley. In this framing system, a group of eight bits are arbitrarily selected in a first frame and are fed to the store and compared with the corresponding time slots two frames later. Thus, the eight bits of the first frame are compared with the bits in the same time slot of the third frame, the third frame with the fifth, the fifth with the seventh and the seventh with the ninth, in each case with corresponding time slots. If framing is not achieved after the comparison between the seventh and ninth frames, the frame control circuit operates to delay the opening of the store by eight time slots, another series of comparisons is carried out, this time directed to a series of eight time slots immediately following the eight time slots in the first comparison. The process is repeated until framing is achieved.
Disadvantages of that technique include the circuit complexity and the necessity to wait through four frames before the frame shifting is initiated. An improved frame search control for a digital transmission system was disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,203,003, issued May 13, 1980, for an invention entitled "Frame Search Control for Digital Transmission System," inventor Ralph L. Kline.
This technique was designed for use with a "winking" framing pattern, i.e., 101010 etc., rather than the more complex framing pattern of F1 F0 F0 F1 employed with the instant invention. Also, the monitor and search techniques of the instant invention were designed to respond more quickly as in desirable for use with a higher speed pulse train.
In a receiver for recovering digital information from an incoming serial bit stream containing information bits and framing bits, a framing detector and frame synchronization arrangement includes a preview store having a plurality of stages each capable of storing a like number of bits, and timing means, synchronized with the incoming binary data, for clocking into each stage of the store, on the occurrence of each framing bit, said like number of bits. The current bit of the incoming data and the outputs from the preview store are applied to a comparator to determine if the bits present constitute a valid framing sequence for a non-winking framing bit pattern. If they do, the timing means causes another like number of bits to be shifted into the register for comparison with the next framing bit. If the comparator detects a number of framing errors, an error density detector will provide an output signal which, in conjunction with the comparator output, will cause the preview store to step one bit at a time to determine if a valid framing sequence can be located in the stored bits. If no valid sequence is found in the like number of bits, the timing means will shift in another like sequence of bits for comparison with the framing bit at the next anticipated frame bit location.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the frame detection and synchronization system of a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing in more detail counter 1 illustrated at (60) of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a waveform diagram showing the clocking pattern of counter 2 and counter 1 for storage of four bits each in each of the three registers of the preview store and for a framing bit interval which is equal to 170 bits of the incoming binary serial bit stream; and
FIG. 4 illustrates the framing bit pattern which is used with the preferred embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, it may be seen that the recovered binary data is applied on the path 2 to the D input of a retiming flip-flop 4. A data clock 6 is synchronized with the incoming data on path 2 and may in fact be recovered therefrom, as is well known. The data clock output on path 8 is applied via junction 10 and path 12 to the clock input of retiming flip-flop 4 so that the retimed data is applied from the Q-output via path 14 to preview store 31, and via path 38 to the comparator 43.
The data clock output on path 8 junction 10 is applied via path 22 to clock control 24 which control may be interrupted by an output on path 86 from counter one 60, as will be disclosed in more detail hereinafter. The data clock output from clock control 24 is applied via path 26 to frame clock 28 in which the data clock is divided to obtain a pulse output on path 30 which has the same periodicity as the frame interval of the framing pattern. This frame clock pulse is applied via junction 52, path 54 and 56 to an input of counter two 58 and counter one 60, respectively. The frame clock is also applied via path 72, one bit delay 74 and path 76 to the clock input of coincidence flip-flop 78. The one bit delay of 74 is at the same bit rate as the data clock input. As will be described in more detail later with respect to counter one in particular, counters one and two shift into the registers of the preview store 31 four bits and eight bits, respectively. Referring again to FIG. 1, it may be seen that the counter two output on path 62 is applied to the clock input of both registers 32 and 34. Referring now to FIG. 3, it may be seen that at the framing bit interval, counter two provides at path 62 an eight bit clocking pulse and thus at each framing interval will shift eight data bits into the registers 32 and 34. Counter one provides a four bit clocking interval as shown in FIG. 3 so that a burst of four data bits will be read into storage register 36. Both bursts start at the same time. The data input signal is loaded into registers 32 and 34 starting with an F-bit, assuming that the framing pattern is correct and that the framing circuit is in sychronism with the incoming data. At the next frame bit location, which will occur 162 time slots after the eight digit burst into registers 32 and 34, the next F-bit is loaded into registers 32 and 34 along with the next following seven consecutive data bits. At the same time, the previous F-bit and the three following data bits are shifted from register 34 into register 36 by the burst of four pulses from counter one applied via path 64 to the clock input. Now as the third F-bit appears on path 14, there will be three consecutive F-bits present in the circuit. The first at the Q-output of retiming flip-flop 4 which is applied along path 14 to the D-input of register 32 and also via path 38 to one input of exclusive-OR gate 44. The second F-bit will at the Q-output of register 34 and will be applied not only to the D-input of register 36 but along path 40 to the other input of exclusive-OR gate 44 and one input of exclusive-OR gate 46. The third F-bit will appear at the Q-output of register 36 and will be applied along path 42 to the other input of exclusive-OR gate 46.
Referring now to FIG. 4, it is readily seen that the following valid framing sequences may occur in the three bit positions as described above. These are: 100; 110; 011; and 001. Any other sequences which would appear would be invalid and should cause an error signal. Thus if any one of these four patterns are present, this is a valid F-bit pattern and the output of gate 48, FIG. 1, is a logic low. Any one of the four invalid patterns being present, i.e., 010, 101, 000, 111, would result in a logic 1 output from gate 48 which then appears on path 50 and is applied to the D-input of coincidence flip-flop 78 and via path 51 to an input to each of the counters counter one and counter two. It is to be noted that the gate 48 output is valid only during the one time slot, i.e., that which appears at the third F-bit location on path 14; and not the subsequent data bits which will also appear there. Thus the function of the one bit delay for the frame clock is to provide a clock input to flip-flop 78 at the frame bit interval and thus read the output of gate 48 into the error density detector via path 80. Flip-flop 78 also holds the value of the output of gate 48 until 169 time slots later when the next comparison is clocked into flip-flop 78.
Even though an occasional error will be evidenced by the comparator and is read through coincidence flip-flop 78 and path 80 to the input of error density detector 82, there will not be an error signal output on path 84 until the number of errors in a predetermined time interval exceeds a predetermined number. Thus the condition of the frame detection and synchronization circuit could be considered to be in a monitor mode in that it is simply monitoring the incoming data to determine that valid framing sequences exist. Once the framing sequences are no longer valid and remain so for a period of time in excess of said predetermined interval, the error density detector will then provide an output signal on path 84 which is applied to counters one and two to inaugurate the search mode. When this error signal appears then the counters one and two control the number of pulses in the bursts used to load the shift registers and initially cause the shift registers to step one bit at a time so that a comparison can be made with the next bit appearing in the data path 14. Should this be a good comparison, the circuit will wait 170 time slots for the next comparison in anticipation of it being the correct F-bit. In the situation just described, the bursts of pulses from counters one and two would have been five and nine pulses long, since one additional pulse was added to each of the counter bursts with the receipt of the initial bad comparison.
for every bad comparison, i.e., invalid framing sequence, the burst of pulses is extended by one pulse. This will continue until a good comparison is made or until a maximum of four bad comparisons are made. Since register 36 can only hold four consecutive bits, if these are all shifted out, the process must stop until the next framing bit location (170 time slots later) so that more bits can be loaded into the preview store.
How the bursts of pulses are read into the preview store and how the stepping of the pulses during an out-of-frame condition is obtained may be best understood by referring to FIG. 2 in which the circuit for counter one is shown in more detail. This counter is a basic divide by eight counter using three flip-flops 126, 128 and 130, with provision to divide by four depending upon the steering logic. As part of the frame search control circuit, this counter puts out a burst of four pulses during the monitor mode and a burst of four to eight pulses in the search mode. These bursts occur every 170 time slots beginning with the framing bit location. During the monitor mode there is no error signal on path 84 at the output of error density detector 82 and thus the input to AND-gate 90 is low, and this provides a low or binary "0" output on path 92. Assuming for the moment that the output of gate 140 is low, which applies a low input via path 142 to the OR-gates 94 and 96, the output of the OR-AND gate 91 is forced low (path 104) and high (path 106), putting a binary "0" at the D-input of flip-flop 110 and a binary "1" at the D-input of flip-flop 108. Of course, in the monitor mode, the input on path 51 which is the output of the comparator could be either a binary "1" or a binary "0" depending upon the time one would look at this input path. The appearance of the frame clock pulse on path 56 clocks flip-flop 114 so that the Q output goes low on path 116 to the input of gate 118. The other input to gate 118 is the delayed clock bit on path 70 which shifts the output of gate 118 rom low to high on the next clock transition. This positive going transition clocks both flip-flops 108 and 110. The Q output of flip-flop 110 changes from binary "0" to binary "1", resetting flip-flops 126 and 128 and setting flip-flop 130. The Q output going high also sets flip-flop 110 which forces the Q output low. Therefore, Q is high for a very short time. Setting flip-flop 130 keeps the Q output at a binary "1". The Q outputs of flip-flops 126 and 128 are both binary "1" so that the output of OR-gate 136 is a binary "1". Therefore, the exclusive-NOR gate 140 has like inputs and the output is binary "1", forcing the output on path 104, of the OR-AND circuit 91, to change to a binary "1". Now flip-flop 110 has a binary "1" input and flip-flop 108 has a binary "0" input. Therefore, the next clock pulse that comes through the enabled gate 118 leaves flip-flop 110 unchanged and flip-flop 108 changes its Q output from binary "0" to binary "1". Of course, flip-flop 108 sets itself when the Q output goes high, making the output or clock pulse very narrow. This narrow clock pulse causes the counter to count from four to five. (Remember, flip-flops 126 and 128 are cleared, but flip-flop 130 is set.) The next clock pulse changes the count from five to six, and this continues until a count of seven is reached, at which time all three inputs to OR-gate 136 are zero and now the inputs to the exclusive-NOR gate 140 are unlike so that its output changes to a binary "0" enabling the OR-AND circuit 91. This logic low signal also changes the state of flip-flop 114 so that its output now inhibits gate 118 and thus only four clock pulses are allowed to pass through gate 118. The first clock pulse presets the counter and the next three made it count to seven. With no more clock pulses from the delayed bit clock via gate 118, the entire counter stops until the timing signal from the frame clock clocks flip-flop 114 so as to enable gate 118.
When the error density causes an error signal to appear on path 84 in the form of a binary "1", the OR-AND circuit 91 is enabled so that bit comparisons made in the comparator and F-bit detection circuit 43 and appearing on path 51 pass through OR-AND circuit 91 and are applied to the D-inputs of flip-flops 108 and 110. If the very first comparison is good, as it would be if the circuit were in-frame, the counter operates exactly as described above for the monitor mode. However, if the comparison is bad, flip-flop 108 sends the first pulse and the flip-flops (126, 128 and 130) are clocked rather than reset. Because they are at "all ones" (a count of seven), this clock pulse rolls the counter over to a zero count causing the Q-output of flip-flop 130 to go to binary "0" while the output of gate 136 goes to binary "1", which maintains the output of exclusive-NOR gate 140 at binary "0". Now the next comparison output from the comparator and F-bit detector on path 51 can pass through OR-AND circuit 91. If this is a good comparison, the counter presets to four (due to a zero at the input to flip-flop 110 when the first clock pulse arrives on path 64) and it counts to seven as described above for the monitor mode. Another bad comparison causes it to clock (count) once again. Should there be four bad comparsions in a row, the fourth count does the same as a reset pulse, i.e., it causes the Q-output of flip-flop 130 to go to binary "1" and now the counter is exactly as if it had been preset.
The Q output of flip-flop 130 provides a partial-out-of-frame signal (POOF) and it goes to binary "1" if there is a bad comparison during the search mode of operation. While it is high, this signal inhibits the clock control via path 86 (FIG. 1) which normally passes the data clock signal to the frame clock 28. While the cock control is stopped, the frame clock 28 is stopped but the preview store continues to clock data bits through. A good comparison resets counter one thereby enabling the clock control and thus the frame clock so as to ensure that the next comparison will be at the correct framing interval, i.e., 170 time slots. Counter two operates in a similar manner but does not provide the partial-out-of-frame signal on path 86 as does counter one.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that change in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
