We streamlined these wraps by using bottled Asian dressing and pork from a local barbecue joint.
Makes 8 servings
Recipe Time
Prep: 15 Minutes
3/4 cup low-fat sesame-ginger dressing
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 pound shredded barbecued pork without sauce
3/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
8 (10-inch) burrito-size flour tortillas
1 head napa cabbage, shredded (about 8 cups)
1 (11-oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1. Whisk together sesame-ginger dressing and next 2 ingredients until smooth.
2. Drizzle half of dressing mixture over pork, tossing to combine. Stir in peanuts.
3. Place tortillas between damp paper towels. Microwave at HIGH 45 seconds; keep warm.
4. Place cabbage and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; drizzle with remaining half of dressing mixture, tossing to coat.
5. Spoon about 1/2 cup pork mixture and 1/2 cup cabbage mixture just below center of each tortilla. Fold bottom third of tortillas up and over filling, just until covered. Fold left and right sides of tortillas over, and roll up.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing.

Great tour and Great places to see. The guide in the bus and at locations were very helpful and knowledgeable.
Tour of Sevilla was very good. Remember to provide information for additional tour options
It was good and enjoyable tour and I met some great friends there. Highly recommend this tour.
What an enjoyable experience. I bonded well with my group.
It's so great to travel with so many people from different countries, and it's really a good experience for me. The guide and all local guides in different cities tried their best to care about us and help us to know each places more. It's not very easy to go to those cities by trains or buses by yourselves as you can not control the traffic time easily and you have to take a lot of time to buy tickets in different sites, so I think that it's worthy to join the tour and just enjoy the journey.
Very good tour with Julia Travel. Gracie was Excellent hotels accommodations and additional tours selection with exception of Jypsy caves tour that i would of skip.
Kirt Gill Canada
An outstanding tour. The guide was great. A great way to see Cordoba, Seville,Granada and Toledo in only 4 days.
The tour was very well planned the only thing is that I would have like more time in Córdoba with a walking tour in the city after the visit to the Mosk and Cathedral
This tour was amazing!
Very pleased we took this tour.
Oh WOW, I don't know where to begin! It's a hectic and nonstop tour but there is down time on the bus, thank goodness. The cities we saw were just amazing! We also stopped in Toledo on our way back to Madrid and I was so amazed by view of the city. It was like a fairy tale! I also have to mention our tour guide, GRACE! She was WONDERFUL! She was definitely a people person and made us laugh and was so knowledgable at the same time. The accommodations were very good and although there were some glitches with the restaurants at the hotels, on the whole we were very pleased. I highly recommend this tour.
Hugo and all the local your guides except for the optional tour in Grenada were fantastic.
Terry C Thailand
What a fantastic tour, great cities to visit made even better by our tour guide who was fun throughout. We had wonderful times in Seville as it was the time of the fair, saw a great flamenco show, on the way there we stopped off to see 'the man from La Mancha', the visits to Granada and Cordoba were also very interesting, the hotels were great and the whole tour was very well organised, although there was no toilet on the bus, we had regular 'comfort breaks', all the passengers on the trip were really interesting, they came from 'all walks of life' and many Countries, l am sure that we all made new friends, it was a pleasure to have participated in the tour, the value was good, the food was acceptable for 4 star hotel standards, l would recommend this tour to any traveler who is thinking of visiting Spain
The tour was very well organised. Everything was on time. Both Grace and the driver were very patient , polite and in good mood. The superior hotels Melia in Sevilla and Granada were of very high quality and in central locations. The two language guide was tiring. The coach was not very spacy and did not have Wi-Fi. If you do not take a taxi to get you straight to the parking of the coach in plaza Oriente you have to get down the stairs following the label of the local tour operator until the 1st underground floor and then get the lift to the 2nd underground floor where the coach waits for you.
The tour was very good, led by a very professional, experienced and humorous guide. He shared many history and knowledge of his country and the places we went during the 4 days tour. Hotels offered were good though the one at Granada can be better in terms of location accessibility. Its quite a walk from the city centre. Local guides at the various destinations were knowledgeable but it will be great if they can provide us with some time to take photographs. There wasn't enough time to do that when the places are so beautiful. Highly recommended.
It was a super trip! The guide was terrific and took care of everything. We had activities each day that were optional after the daily tours if we wanted more to see or do that was organized or we could go on our own. We chose the premium hotels which was an excellent extra amount of money because the hotels that were a little more were closer to the city center and the main action, plus their buffets for dinner and breakfast were excellent! If you are the type of person that likes to see and learn as much as you can in a short time, likes to have the route planned so you don't waste time looking for things and enjoys a combination of walking tours and panoramic on the bus sight-seeing this is a great deal that brings it all together! It was our best trip yet and ax a result we may look into more extended day tours like this though we have always done just full day tours in the past. Great value for your money, time we'll spent, lots of free or optional time, super food, good company and knowledgeable guide - WHT more could you ask for!
This was a great tour. Weather was great in March for sightseeing and I have nothing but good things to say about the entire trip, except I didn't enjoy the Flamenco tour to the cave in Granada. There was a mix-up on time, and the show didn't begin until after 11:00 pm. We didn't get back to the hotel until 1:00 am and had an early start planned the next day, so not much sleep. The rest of the tour went as planned. The tour guide Hugo was awesome. He was helpful, informative and dependable. There was enough time at each place to do some souvenir shopping and it was planned well so that there was not much down time. We enjoyed it thoroughly and highly recommend this trip.
It was very well planned. We had a good balance of guided activity and free time, and our main guide was exceedingly helpful and well informed. As an introduction to Andalucia it was just what we wanted.
My first experience with a viator/local tour company tour was a very pleasant one. Tour escort Gosep was very knowledgeable of all the sites we visited and made us all feel at home. Driver Roberto was excellent, taking us to all venues in a timely and safe manner. All local guides were awesome, Cristobal, Lydia, Oscar. Hotel and meal services were very good. I'm looking forward to taking another tour by these folks in the near future!
Tour was very good organised.
Well organized, great tour, we had a lot of fan
This was a fantastic tour and I highly recommend it to everyone visiting Spain. I would not have been able to see all these beautiful Andalusian sights in 4 days on my own. The tour was well-planned and well-paced, and our tour guide Grace did a great job getting all 37 of us from one sight to another. The bus was very comfortable and well maintained.
I chose the superior hotel option but wasn't too impressed with the rooms - in fact, I could not sleep at all at Granada because the room was freezing. On a more positive note, the superior hotels are centrally located, especially the one in Granada, so that made it easy to explore the city on foot.
We chose to do all the optional tours but the only one that was worth our time was the flamenco show in Seville. Please skip the river cruise in Seville and the Arab town walking tour and gypsy show in Granada - you're better off exploring on your own. The river cruise in Seville lasted an hour, but we spent it wishing that we were at Alcazar or the cathedral instead because they close around 5/6 PM and you don't get a lot of time to look around.
A helpful tip: the pick-up point is currently in the Plaza de Oriente bus parking in front of the Royal Palace. The voucher says we need to go to level -2, however the elevators only go to -1. You need to take the elevator to level -1 then walk to -2. It took me a while to figure that out and I was worried about missing the tour.
The tour was amazing and exceeded all our expectations. We saw much more of Spain than we would have if we had been travelling by ourselves with the little time we had available. It was very well organized and kept us on a tight schedule. Grace, tour guide, was excellent, as was our cautious, highly-skilled driver, Antonio. We enjoyed the optional flamenco show, but felt our time on the river cruise would have been better spent walking around Seville. The gypsy evening option was an enjoyable adventure, although the many other groups on the walking tour made it a little difficult at times to follow and hear our guide. The tour group, 52 of us, were multinational and of varied ages, but fun, compatible and got along well together. A very positive first experience of group travel.
It was stellar. The tour guide Mariola was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, organized, attended to every detail. The local guides were super as well.
My BIGGEST complaint was that I was not directed to the correct pickup spot for the tour. From the email I received, I went to a closed office and after having to figure out the new location on my own without knowing any Spanish. Luckily it was close and because of some miracle I was able to find it despite the pouring down rain, in the dark and it was underground in a garage.

Support is requested for years 35-40 of a long-standing training program in cancer research for postdoctoral fellows at the Fox Chase Cancer Center. The Training Faculty consists of 47 Mentors (11 Assistant Professor, 15 Associate Professor, 21 Full Professor) with diverse interests in cell growth control, signal transduction, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, angiogenesis, epigenetics, cancer prevention, programmed cell death, bio-behavioral cancer research, immunology, mouse models of cancer, and developmental therapeutics. The well-funded and highly collaborative Training Faculty come from five different research programs: Immune Cell Development and Host Defense, Cancer Biology, Developmental Therapeutics, Women's Cancer, and Cancer Prevention and Control. The postdoctoral pool is extremely strong;there are 4 applicants per open slot, and the majority of applicants received graduate training at outstanding Institutions and are published in high- impact journals. The program offers diverse training in areas relevant to cancer research, with a combination of didactic and laboratory-based training, including seminar series, journal clubs, grant- writing workshops, and educational series. Input from the postdoctoral pool is extensive and highly valued;trainee satisfaction is best exemplified by our placement, every year for the past seven years, in the Top 20 "Best Places in the United States for Postdoctoral Training", as determined by anonymous survey and published in The Scientist magazine. Funding for 10 trainees per year is requested;this is less than one quarter the citizenship-eligible trainees in the labs of the training faculty. Trainee slots are highly competitive and have been continuously filled for the last 2 funding cycles. Finally, 82% of trainees who have completed training and left this program report that they are still doing research directly relevant to cancer, indicating that we are fulfilling our goal of training the future of cancer research. Finally, this training program serves as the nucleus of our postdoctoral program. Its continued success is vital to the mission of Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Cancer continues to be a major health issue in the United States. With a highly collaborative faculty, a diverse and rigorous training program, an outstanding pool of postdoctoral fellows and cutting-edge research questions, this training program seeks to train the future scientists in cancer research.

at bn.com type apps in the search box, select apps for nook, and the release date has been in that pull down list since the feature was introduced over a month ago. and, as you state, it has NEVER worked. the best way to find new apps is look first thing friday mornings, sort by Best Selling, View set to 100 then go to last page and the new apps aren't selling yet so they're at the bottom....that's the only way to do it until BN gets off the can.

Continued from page 2
Buffett suggests raising long-term capital gains tax rates from 15% to 20% and perhaps even to a modified (hopefully reduced) ordinary tax rate. But, Buffett rarely sells his stock so he doesn't pay capital gains taxes anyway. My problem with Mr. Buffett is he does not suggest closing his own-cherished charity tax loophole, where he saves around 13 billion in taxes. The charity deduction scheme involves donating appreciated company stock to your own – or buddy Bill Gates – private charitable foundation. Buffett should donate to charity after-tax, not before-tax.
President Obama loves lining up his billionaire poster-boys in support of his tax-hike and regulatory-hike proposals. The president can then say even millionaires and billionaires agree with him, and some are even on Wall Street too. I respectfully disagree with President Obama, because Soros is closing his business over the president's own initiatives, and Buffett is raising taxes on other peoples' money and not his own.

Although Sony is notoriously known for being anti-hacking, modding, or anything of that sort, Sony CEO Jack Tretton is apparently okay with this sort of thing. At least, he stated this in an interview with The New York Times:
"No, there's a real misnomer there, we embrace independent game development," he said, "If you call that hacking, then we embrace that. We give people tools that let them create new experiences. What I don't think we are in support of is someone trying to hack our device to pirate software and possibly collapse the platform."
This is an odd statement, given that Sony regularly releases updates that disallow PlayStation owners to use hacks or mods. Maybe this statement will change some of Sony's position regarding this sort of thing, but realistically, probably not.

300+ Rentals · Richmond
300+ Rentals · Richmond
A nice place to live in Richmond. The location of this condo is very convenient, which is only two minutes' walk to the skytrain. The room is cozy and comfy with good view as well and the bed is large and comfortable. Water, snacks and useful brochures are provided. Roger is nice and warm hearted, I find it easy to communicate with him and I was also given some useful suggestions. Good living experience in Roger's place and strongly recommend. 房屋的位置很好,离skytrain只有两分钟的路程,去购物中心和downtown十分方便。房屋宽敞舒适,景观很好,床也舒服,房间内还摆放了饮用水、出行信息手册等,超实用的。Roger人很nice,聊天十分愉快,很好的居住体验,好房源强烈推荐~danDecember 2016

Roger was very friendly. He made us feel very welcome and this was the second time we booked to stay at his place. We would recommend Roger and Jean's place it is very close to everything.ThereseJanuary 2017
I had an extended layover in Vancouver and Roger's home was a great place to get some rest after my flight from NYC. Very close to YVR airport and easily accessible through the Skytrain. My flight was delayed 1hr and my baggage got lost so I ended up arriving at 12.30am rather than at 10.30pm. Roger was very kind and accommodating to stay up so late to wait and welcome me in. His communication was responsive and always considerate. I would highly recommend Roger's Airbnb for travelers who want an affordable place to sleep that's close to YVR airport and close to Richmond city centre.JonathanDecember 2016
Roger is a great host, this Airbnb is highly recommended nice and quiet and comfortable. Roger provides extra amenities like water and toothbrushes and snacks to keep her guests comfortable. One of the best hosts thus this far that I have had. Would defintely stay here again if I came back, great location as well.ChrisDecember 2016

Ellen was a great host. She was referred by Airbnb after no one could get in touch with the initial host I booked with. Ellen was flexible with check in and out times. Her place was very clean and close to everything including the sky train. Thank you for everything Ellen.DénaeOctober 2015
I found that Ellen was very helpful and accommodating with any requests or questions I had and was always prompt with her responses. The condo itself was very quiet. The neighbourhood was great - a short walk to the Richmond Brighouse skytrain station, buses and the Richmond Centre and a slightly longer walk to a very large supermarket. The condo itself was very spacious and airy and well equipped. Overall I felt very comfortable and would not hesitate to return.Hilda January 2016
The place was convenient and comfortable! It was perfect for our short getaway! We will definitely stay there again if we need to come up to Richmond area!FonnieSeptember 2015
The location is excellent. Tidy, big and warm room. Check in and out was easy, the host was helpful. Enjoy the stay.AlexOctober 2016
This was my second stay at Ellen's place and it was as great as my first time around. The only difference was that this time there was a chest of drawers in the bedroom - something I had suggested to Ellen after my last visit. I was very happy to see that she followed up with my request and it really made a difference. I will not hesitate to go back again.Hilda October 2016
The apartment was cozy and we really enjoyed the neighborhood - it was quite safe and there were so many restaurants within walking distance. Greatly appreciated the parking space. Ellen was incredibly responsive. Would definitely stay again!CynthiaJuly 2016

Nice place and Ricky is quite helpful. The only thing my aunt didn't like is that we have to kind of help clean all the dishes and wash all the towels (while paying a lot for the cleaning fee). Returning the key also took a bit time since we have to walk to the keycafe. Anyway, other than this, the place is very very clean and new, great to live.coaJanuary 2017

It was an awesome place! It was immaculate and cozy. There was a complimentary jar of honey and earplugs in case the traffic outside was too loud, along with a page of suggestions and directions to grocery stores and good restaurants in the area. I will definitely suggest this place to any of my friends who want to visit Vancouver!Cedar November 2016
I have to be honest. The reason I chosen this place is we need catch an early morning flight and it is close to the airport. When I get up and taking shower in the early morning, someone insanely thumped the wall from the other side of the bathroom! And yelling to me said No Showering in the Morning! That is really horrible~ If someone is just living on the another side of wall, and it has bad sound insulation, this room shouldn't be use to host the airbnb. Worst airbnb experience ever.Bochao May 2016

Karin's house is very beautiful. I think it's the most eye-catching one around the community. The inner decoration is in both classical and modern style. Also it has a great location, very convenient for taking public transit and shopping. It's a wonderful journey for my wife and me with Karin's kindly help.RockyFebruary 2017
It was my first booking with AirBnB. The experience was great (2 nights) ! We didn't get to meet Karin because we were out all day, but Karin made the check in and check out very easy. So it worked out very well for us. Although we didn't get to meet Karin, but we were communicated via AirBnB Message all the time. So we get our privacy and we get what we needed.AlanDecember 2015
Great place to stay. Massive bed, tidy house, good kitchen with utensils. Karin was very lovely and clear written instructions on where to get skytrain and groceries. Definitely would stay here again.AMBERLEAOctober 2016

Great for my late night arrival into YVR. I was able to check in late without any issue. Very spacious house, just what I needed for a single night stopover.ErikJanuary 2017
Sherry is prompt with replies, handled late check in really well. One thing I would mention is that the noise at night. I might have gotten unlucky, but there was a child making a lot of noise, and a lady on the phone around midnight talking fairly loudly. It is a definite value for money though, and the house itself is really clean.PranavFebruary 2017

The place is OK for saving money on your stay in Vancouver. If you are obsessed with cleanliness (like me) you probably will not feel so at ease as you would like. Anyway, it was not such a problem because we always left early in the morning and returned in the evening. We slept well despite that the neighbors can be quite noisy.SandraJanuary 2016

The spacious street-level 2 bedroom apartment accessible through a private, separate entrance at the rear of the house in the photo had just been cleaned by the host when I arrived. Check-in was fairly smooth through short text messages, but the host's limited English made it a bit challenging. The fence and the deck to the suite are in need of obvious repair. I had to request some essentials such as dish soap, a sponge or dish rag, a rug for the bathroom, and there was no microwave nor toaster in the kitchen. Cutlery and anything to use for cooking or just reheating a meal was hard to locate. Kitchen drawers were all empty except for a bottom cupboard. The floors needed additional cleaning and so did the kitchen utensils I found that were sticky. No paper towels were provided, no cutting board, nor a dish rack to dry dishes on, or even a towel for that purpose. The fridge looked like it needed better cleaning as well. Although the picture of the renovated kitchen corner is what you get, the rest of the place looked a bit like the furniture had just been repossessed. Except for a table and chairs, there was no sofa in the living room/kitchen, no rugs, bare walls, and there were no bedside tables nor table lamp in either of the bedrooms. Several light bulbs had burned out and were not replaced. I liked the firm mattress in both bedrooms, the brightness provided by this street level suite, the ability to open all windows, the quiet cul-de-sac location, the easy, free parking, and the proximity of a shopping mall on 2nd Road within a 15 minute walk. I's a safe and pleasant Richmond neighborhood except for the neighbor's pit bull barking dog. I would only recommend to very budget-minded guests who really need 2 bedrooms and are prepared for what I described until the host makes needed changes.JuergenSeptember 2015

Nancy was quick to communicate and answered all the questions I had before my arrival. She was flexible with the check in time, as we did not get into Richmond until almost 10pm. The house is located in a very cute and pleasant neighborhood, with plenty of parking. The space itself is clean, simple, and perfect for our one night stay before a full day in Vancouver. If I ever come back to Canada I'd definitely stay at this place again!AllisonOctober 2015

Manuel was a great host. His place was cosy, clean and it's prefect fit for 2 guest. Something need to be aware of it was a bit noisy since it's so close to the airport. You might hear the noise from the plane in the middle of the night. However it was located right above Tnt supermaket, it was super convenience. Lastly, I would suggest Manuel should have a mini fridge for the guest. Overall it was a great experience.KkFebruary 2017
Super clean, modern place. Just as described. Manuel was extremely responsive to texts and questions. The place is located in a nice part of Richmond, drivable to other parts of BC. Very close to a lot of places to eat. Clean towels and bedsheets. Private parking space included. Very accommodating.KhoaJanuary 2017

Our room was on a separate floor below the common living area and two floors below the hosts. You are only steps away from your parked car in the garage if you need things from it. Room and bathroom were very clean, modern and sanitary. Location is in the heart of Richmond.

Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family :)JuliaJuly 2016
The room was very clean and looked just like the photos. Beware that there are two other rooms next to this one with Airbnb guests with whom you'll be sharing two bathrooms (upstairs and downstairs). Also, you'll need your own towels but there is shampoo, conditioned, and body wash. We liked that the host provided us a mini fridge and coffee in the common area. This room is great for people who visit Vancouver and need a place to crush at night. The host Teresa was very helpful and friendly!EvgeniaJuly 2016

Manny was really communicative and helpful from the beginning - the guest house was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I to comfortably stay for a few nights (and definitely would've been comfortable for longer). There was a well equipped kitchen, and being greeted with snacks was a really nice touch! Getting in and out was easy, and the neighborhood was very quiet. I don't think we heard a peep from anyone the entire time we were there. The location was nestled in the suburbs and offered a good opportunity to drive around and check out Richmond and its various neighborhoods. All in all, a very positive first experience using Air BnB. Thanks, Manny!AlexandraMarch 2016
Manny was a great host and very communicative. I loved how he provided snacks and drinks for us, accommodated a couple requests and gave us our privacy. Lastly, the guest house was exactly as described - very clean, comfortable and cozy. I would definitely stay here again.RonFebruary 2016
I had a short stay at this place, arrived 10:30 at night, left 7:20 the next morning. The place is pretty nice and clean. The host is easy to communicate too. The only thing that I don't like is the fragrance in the bedroom. I know most of people actually like a little bit fragrance in the house but I happen to be allergic to any kind of that. For example, I won't enter shops such as Bath and Body Works. So...I almost couldn't sleep that night. Again, this is just very personal preference. On the other hand, this could be a big plus to some of you.AidanNovember 2016
We recently stayed in Manny's guest home and we couldn't have been more impressed! This was our first experience with Airbnb so was a little nervous. Manny was quick at getting back to us and helping us with any questions we had. From the moment we stepped in it felt very welcoming and the treats Manny left were much appreciated! We couldn't speak highly enough of our stay, I would suggest anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay just out of the city this is an ideal spot! Thank you again Manny!CandyOctober 2015
When we arrived into Vancouver manny had organised a way for us to enter the apartment whilst we were both unavailable to meet one another.

Yuming was literally the perfect host. This is the first time we've used airbnb for sharing someone's home and we didn't want to be invasive, but he made us totally welcome, and was flexible with our plans and needs. We were very tired when we arrived, and were grateful for a quiet, clean room to recover. We hardly saw Yuming, and then on our day of departure he insisted on taking us to the airport. We had lunch together before leaving, and had fascinating conversation about history and culture over some authentic Chinese food. He really excelled himself in hospitality, and we remain very grateful.EmmaNovember 2016

It was our first time staying at an Airbnb host's place, and it proved to be a great experience. Kenneth was very helpful in giving us instructions on how to access the unit when we arrived. This unit was very clean and quiet. We really liked the idea of extra towels, toilet paper, and cooking utensils etc. in the unit. Even though we didn't use them, just knowing that there were there felt good, unlike in a hotel you would have to contact the front desk and deal with housekeepers if you needed extra things, which could be inconvenient. The place was in a great location, close to shopping and the city centre. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again for our next visit or recommend it to anyone else.YayingMay 2016

We stayed in one of Ingrid's room just for one night (layover). The room was spacious and the bed was soft. Her house is located roughly 10-15 minutes drive from the airport. Be aware there are flat rates for taxis from YVR. We paid $20 for about a $10 taxi ride. There is also the option to take the skytrain and walk a bit, which we did not choose to do due to the time our flight arrived. We did not get a chance to meet Ingrid, however all the communication was efficient. I would recommend her place for travelers that need something close to the airport.MattMarch 2016

I recently got 3 of the same dog food samples using 3 different stores' links. I was kinda suprised & lucky as the offers looked so much alike. [not all of these originated for me on dealsplus.com]
Maybe each store had access to x number of samples/coupons from this manufacturer.
But I do get what you mean on the dupes. Now I sometimes search to make sure I'm plussing the 1st or most accurate post/link.
I also noticed a deal I posted under "Valentine's Day" was later posted under "Freebies". I didn't flag it, as if it helps a visitor find it, isn't that what dealsplus.com is all about?

glwrks-Excellent point & how lucky you did get all 3 samples!!
branie (rep: 129k) posted Feb 13, 2011
You'll notice that walmart & target often have identical freebies that you can get both. I think that depends on the company sometimes. (dove doesnt allow it)
And if there's 2 deals for a similar product at 2seperate stores it may be useful considering your preference of where to shop. It does get tedious when browsing through so many things that look alike.... Snooze
bboggs (rep: 344) posted Feb 14, 2011
I guess my real question is if they deal (meaning the item, coupon freebie etc.. whatever the case maybe is found by person A. Then people B & C find the same exact deal (different link or whatever) should maybe the FIRST deal be updated with other ways to get the deal, instead or multiple posts of the same deal? Less confusing, less posts and it will free up some space for the deals that we miss because of the "duplicate" deals!!
branie (rep: 129k) posted Feb 14, 2011
I just put in this question that is similar. I found 2 other deals like mine and 1 front paged. they said mine is first and got rid of 1 duplicate but left the other because it was in a diffrent catagory that was also correct :(

When I was just a little one,
My mother would kiss me good night,
She'd smile and say the day is done,
But I wouldn't go down without a fight.
"Mother I have a question."
I would say as she turned to go.
"Why do people always fight?"
"Because people don't know friend from foe."
I would be so angry, unable to understand,
She would smile sweetly and say,
"My little one, no one can.
No one knows why people fight,
Why they can't seem to get along.
But sweet one, it's time to say good-night,
I told you already, the day is done."
"Mother, why is it people scream and shout?"
I'd say as she turned out the light.
She turned and winked and said, "Who knows?
But you won't find that answer tonight.
The world is full of strange people,
Sometimes all they do is fight.
But dear one, as I've said before,
I love you and good-night!"

The Last Door review
Retro pixel art and sound work great together to create a spooky Victorian era atmosphere and plenty of chills; interesting supernatural horror story; good variety of locations to explore.
Not much difficulty or variety in puzzles; characters are forgettable.
Scoring System - Editorial Policies
The Last Door is a great retro atmospheric horror game that will make you want to keep opening up its mysteries until you reach the end.
There seem to be two approaches to horror, whether in movies or video games. The first relies on cheap scares – something popping out to frighten, a short but intense start that goes away as fast as it came. The second is slower, building up tension with spooky atmosphere in such a way that it feels anything could happen at any time. The second type captures the imagination more, and The Last Door is a brilliant example. A Lovecraft-inspired horror taking place in Victorian England, the game uses extremely low-res graphics and wonderful sound direction to create an unsettling atmosphere that is well worth seeing through to the end.
In late December 2012, The Last Door was funded on Kickstarter, and the first episode was released the following March, with three more to follow. The Game Kitchen, the small development team from Spain behind its creation, released each previous episode for free as soon as a newer episode was launched. Each new episode could be unlocked by a donation of any size, creating a successful ongoing financial model that allowed them to complete the series. Now as the team looks ahead to making a second season, the first four episodes have been compiled and released by Phoenix Online as a full commercial set.
Players take the role of Jeremiah Devitt, a gentleman from London in 1891. His childhood friend, Anthony Beechworth, sends him a mysterious letter containing only the motto of the secret group they formed at boarding school when they were children. Devitt initially goes to the Beechworth Manor to investigate, but his questions eventually lead him from Sussex to the coast of Scotland and onto the streets of London. Plenty of people populate the different episodes, some of them recurring characters such as Jeremiah's therapist, Doctor Wakefield. There is also Father Ernest, who locks himself away and refuses to see anyone, a nun who has lost her faith, and an unnamed gypsy woman who will read your fortune. These characters all fit well into the time period, from their dress to the way they speak, yet none are very memorable. Even the main character doesn't seem to care much about most of them. What little is revealed about Devitt makes him a sympathetic lead, but his character remains so much a mystery that it is hard to feel particularly attached to him.
The atmosphere is very unsettling, thanks to its blend of story, graphics, and sound effects. The story contains very dark elements, from murder to suicide, neglect, and self-flagellation, setting the tone for the series from the very first scene. There are a few problems with dialogue syntax, but it doesn't detract from the experience too much. One scenario forces players to make a hard decision, but the outcome is the same either way, which takes away the momentary feeling of influence. I won't go into too many details about the plot, since uncovering the mystery about what's going on is a big part of the game, but its suspenseful horror is reminiscent of the charm of Lovecraft stories. Devitt stumbles upon a rash of killings that intertwine with his own backstory, and all paths seem to lead to a supernatural entity just beyond the veil. From a murderer that intends to make Devitt the next victim to crows suddenly appearing and never taking their beady little eyes off you, The Last Door will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. Episode 4 ends on a cliffhanger, paving the way for the next season.
The graphics are distinctly retro, and the blocky textures and low resolution will probably turn off gamers who demand only the newest graphic technology. However, the pixel art works well for this type of game. As with Lovecraft, this game is all about suggestion, not showing what frightens us but rather letting hints stimulate the imagination. In one of the tensest scenes of the game, the screen fades to black and only sounds are heard, and what our fears conjure up is just as scary as if we were seeing it, if not more so. Even the opening credits are nicely atmospheric, with crows watching from atop rooftops and gravestones. In dark places Devitt must use a lantern, and only being able to see within the lantern's glow radius makes the shadows that much more disturbing. Most screens are static, besides Devitt and any other characters moving about. The occasional animation is used to great effect, however. The sudden swinging of the grandfather clock pendulum out of the corner of your eye, for example, ratchets up the fear factor.
Even with such old-school graphics, there are a lot of details included, and the visuals are just crisp enough to differentiate between objects. Vines crawl up the side of a house, and the wallpaper is faded where a rosary hung. Fog envelops the London streets, and snow drifts by in the country. Sometimes the perspective peers in through windows at the protagonist, almost like the player is a creature hiding in the shadows, and it makes you wonder what else is looking at Devitt like you are.
The sound really complements the art design, from the stirring music to the authentic effects. The musical score includes a moody violin to accompany the opening credits, and a suspenseful piano piece when exploring an abandoned house. But what really sticks out is the way the game strategically uses silence. When going into the basement, the sudden lack of music is deeply unsettling. The sound of water dripping is eerie in the darkness, and a small scuttling noise makes you wonder if you are truly alone. The sound effects really shine, including the footfall difference between sand, grass, and pavement. Floorboards creak when Devitt moves across a room, and birds chirp in the distance. During scary scenes, you hear a heartbeat begin to race, along with heavy breathing. (If you can hear them over your own.)
In terms of interface, The Last Door is a fairly typical third-person point-and-click adventure. A smart cursor shows hotspots that can be looked at, picked up or interacted with. It also shows exits from the current screen; double-clicking one instantly moves you to the next. The inventory is shown at the bottom of the screen where you can combine items occasionally, and there is a magnifying glass that gives descriptions of each item you've acquired. There are lots of doors in the game, as the title suggests, and doors stay open to signify unlocked areas. There is no manual saving as you progress, but the game is automatically saved when you quit. At the beginning of each chapter are postcard snaps summarizing what happened in the last episode.
The puzzles are mostly all inventory-based, with the exception of one clock puzzle. All of the puzzles make intuitive sense, but none are very memorable or difficult. The most challenging part is finding the items you need, since hotspots can be hard to distinguish from their low-res backgrounds. Handily, the smart cursor to pick up items is large and will come up if you're in even the general vicinity of the object.
If you're not sure whether you want to buy The Last Door Collector's Edition, you can always try the original releases for free to see if you like it. Each chapter should last a nice little chunk of time, up to five hours each. This release includes all four episodes of the first season, along with achievements and extra scenes like deleted scenes from movies. For those who like slow-burning horrors and are up for a different kind of experience, give The Last Door a try. It's a refreshing spin on horror that shines through its retro graphics and sound, along with an interesting supernatural plot to tie it all together, earning this game an oak solid recommendation.
Editor's Note: The review originally indicated that there was no inventory combination possible, and has since been corrected.

Well I Don't Know to me this is getting ridiculous, I understand the retro feel and everything, but I feel like they are abusing the the retro feel.
Next game will be what? Pong graphics?
I appreciate every kind of style, but sometimes it feel to me like an easy way out of making decent graphics.
I don´t see any problem with the graphics, it looks nice. I have played the game and it was ok, but i wouldn´t give it 4 stars, maybe 3.
That all depends on how you define "decent graphics." If your standard is simply based on sharpness of resolution, then yeah, I guess they suck pretty hard. In terms of color, style, art direction, etc, they are pretty darn atmospheric and beautiful, in my opinion.
I really enjoyed this game. I was immediately drawn to the intense colors in the screenshots. They manage to convey an ominous mood for a horror story without being limited tol shades of gray and black. Details are obscured by the pixellation, and not by being too dark to see.
The art style is not typical of games from any time period. The resolution is actually lower than in the early Sierra AGI games—but the color depth is much greater. I'll be interested to see what happens in Season Two.
I agree with AlbertX.
Why not a retro style adventure looking like Broken Sword or Monkey Island 3? In other words I would prefer an adventure looking like those from the second half of 1990s rather than the first half.
The problem with this "retro" style is that it has no authenticity. The game's resolution is arbitrary and it mixes pixel sizes throughout. Nothing at similar ultra-low resolutions ever had this sort of colour depth. Just which era of computing is it supposed to be a callback to? It makes the whole game feel cheap and/or the developers seem bombastic. Did they think that the majority of low-res games settling on 320x200 was just a coincidence? Are they honestly that conceited? Not to mention the resolution is so prohibitively low that there are problems identifying items in the game. Maybe it would have been better presented as a text adventure or with basic line art.
Whatever your taste, you must agree that it's good that we've finally stopped relating higher definition game visuals with "better". As painters discovered in the 19th century, higher detail does not always reveal better composition. For a long time digital artists were constrained to use only the highest technology visuals, but are now free to reject them if they feel they do not suit the game.
@AlbertX: When I first saw it I also thought it's much too blocky. But of course this doesn't necessarily make a bad game, I will give it a try.
@Kelop: Because hand drawn graphics and animations cost a fortune! The budget for Monkey Island 3 was huge.
I long for the day when visible pixels aren't considered a throwback to anything, but are just recognized as another artistic tool to fit the developer's particular intentions.
It…was a good game. I enjoyed it. The graphics are perfectly functional. A solid four stars. Reminds me of the Black Mirror series; obviously both games are cut from the same cloth.
I agree with AlbertX, I'm tired of this retro graphics garbage
Fine, you didn't have the money or want to put the effort into decent graphics so you released this instead but don't sugar coat it
So many companies are jumping on this bandwagon because it's cheap and easy yet the reviewer will laughingly praise it…
I refuse to pay up or even spend the time for any of these games
Can anyone point me to ANY adventure game with "cutting edge" 2014 graphics? Honest question.
I can't believe we're still having this "discussion" in 2014. It was more than a century ago when the art world accepted the fact that the quality of a painting is not measured by the size and visibility of the brush-strokes. This is the exact same thing, only in the video game age.
What I like about what they did in the game is that they left the details to the players imagination. The first scene in the game may be one of the most memorable scenes in any game I have ever played. It was that good.
Also, I am no artist, but I do know that to make something look believable in low res is extremely difficult and is truly an amazing accomplishment.
Also, you don't have to pay to play the game. It is available free on their website. If you want it on steam, pay the money. Try it our for yourself before you write it off due to the graphics. The game may just surprise you and pull you in.
Actually, let's get back to (or get started) discussing The Last Door instead of derailing these comments from the get-go with anti-retro agendas.
It's a ridiculous argument anyway. Not only is pixel art a perfectly legitimate form of artistic expression, if developers are choosing it because of budget or artistic limitations, where's the logic in griping about it? Should they NOT make a game that's really well designed and fun to play at all because some people don't like the look of it? Because when you follow these complaints to their logical conclusion, that's the only end result.
Claiming that using pixel art is a lack of effort is completely ignorant. Every developer I've ever spoken to wants to make the best game they possibly can, and they work way harder at it than most gamers will ever know. Doesn't mean you have to like the result, but at least respect the effort.
By all means, debate these things all you want on the forums if it means that much to you. But time to let this thread be about The Last Door.
Thank you, Jackal. Well said.
This is the kind of game that reminds me why I fell in love with adventure games in the first place. It's just so damn atmospheric. The sound design is just superb. Combined with the graphics that leave details to the imagination, it seems a very fitting way to put a Lovecraft-inspired story into adventure game form.
Is not about anti retro agenda, I have no problem with that, but the main problem to me is that is used as a gimmick, as a way to appeal to the nostalgic side.
Years ago, many adventures game kept coming, and all of them tried to push the graphics in a good way, not talking about 3D or hyper real stuff.
I never said is not a good game, but in this case in particular they lost a possible buyer based sorely on this.
But I won't comment on the subject anymore, but I think this is just a cheap gimmick to me.
Ultimately people will vote for or against this game with their money. The fact that this game already received its funding through Kickstarter suggests that there is a large enough group that likes it. As of now I haven't played this game so I cannot speak for how good it is.
What I wanted to do with my post is to give a feedback to game authors (The Game Kitchen as well as others that are reading this) that my personal preference of adventure graphics is less pixelated like that from later 1990s. I think that it's a valuable information for game developers to know what their potential audience wants.
You guys are aware that a graphical style that doesn't explicitly spell out the details and leaves aspects to the players imagination is EXACTLY in keeping with the way H. P. Lovecraft wrote about his "unspeakable horrors," right? It's a perfect stylistic choice that absolutely fits the material here.
Kelop - I don't want game developers to tailor their games to their audience. That would mean a much less diverse range of adventure games to choose from. Fine, you prefer Curse of Monkey Island graphics, but can you honestly imagine COMI graphics would suit a dark and Lovecraftian story like this? That would be quite ridiculous.
I dislike cel-shaded graphics but I accept the new Telltale games wholeheartedly - why? Because they suit the style the developers are going for. I would not ask Telltale to change their style simply because I prefer a different style of graphics. Instead, I just don't play them. You should do the same with The Last Door.
A few inaccurate points in this review, unfortunately:
For one, you CAN combine inventory items, and need to do so at several points in order to solve puzzles. Why the reviewer said you couldn't is a mystery to me as it happens not just once, but several times throughout the game, usually at least 2 or 3 times per chapter.
Secondly, it's virtually impossible to miss objects, as there are a limited number of hotspots per screen and there is a smart cursor—every interactive object on a screen can usually be examined and or taken with just a few seconds of moving the mouse across the screen. Some objects need to be examined before they can be taken, but that happens completely organically, as you'll be clicking each of the limited hotspots anyway, and the cursor will change, letting you know immediately which items can and can't be picked up.
The most glaring flaw that I've seen is that all the dialog was clearly written by someone for whom English is not a first language. I found that fairly distracting, as strange word usage comes up fairly frequently. It's not enough to significantly detract from the game, but it's definitely noticeable, and is a real shame, since it's the one flaw in the otherwise perfect execution and production values.
The atmosphere, sound design, and excellent art style more than makes up for it though, and the game is genuinely creepy pretty much throughout. It also makes effective use of jump scares—not overdone, but just right, to heighten certain moments of tension.
All in all, a great game.
**This review could use an edit to correct the inaccuracies about item combination though.
This game is heavy, heck i dont even remember seen a retro style that old before,not 90's retro for sure but early 80's most likely,devs sayin'try this for size kinda experience.
I've corrected the inventory combination issue. Hotspot hunting is simply a difference in experience, not an inaccuracy.
A final reminder to people that this is a discussion about The Last Door, not a forum thread about retro-styled graphics. Opinions on the latter contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion at hand. No one wants to wade through post after off-topic post to find more views on the game itself.
I love this game, the episodes are perfect to relax for an hour or so after work; I looked forward to getting home, getting in my sleeping bag with the lights off, hot chocolate, and headphones.
I hope the developers make many more adventure games.
The Last Door is one of the best games I've ever played, and I've played thousands of them in 35 years of experience. It looks great and sounds even better. Short but sweet.
It's also worth noting that this game is a great "date" game. My wife and I spent a few nights playing through it—the puzzles are fun and simple enough to give non-adventure-gamers some nice "Ah hah!" moments. I thought a few of them could have been telegraphed a little better—it's a bit too easy to stumble into a solution because of the small amount of items you carry at any given time, but overall, great stuff. The atmosphere is perfect for night-time on the couch with the lights off. If you have the means to connect your computer to your TV, it looks great on a bigger screen. We love horror movies, and this game's creepy vibe and atmosphere definitely scratched that itch.
Seriously? I can't see a d@mn thing in this game - Just a bunch of dark, smudgy pixel blocks (this is on a 20" HD graphics i7).
With a little more effort (enhanced graphics), this could have been a really good game. Maybe they'll upgrade in some future "anniversary edition".
Did you neglect to look at any of the screenshots for the game prior to purchasing it? I don't get it. What were you expecting? The graphics are the one part of the game you can actually see and decide on ahead of time. If they aren't for you, why bother?
Silly me, Lambonius - I was expecting to be able to see what's on my screen, not use a brail guide to play the game. Looking at the screenshots is NOT quite the same as wandering around in a pitch dark room - clicking aimlessly. Thanks for asking.
