Tropical Static -MP3-
February 5th 2008
Here is a new mix with records that I found in N'Zerekore.
"Tropical Static" includes records from Guinea, Mali and Senegal of course heavily focusing on the Guinean side. Funk heads beware: This is not "club music". Big shout out to Chris Meserve who helped me to appreciate the more traditional side of African music and who therefore deserves all the blame for this one. Sorry about the sometimes pretty loud crackle... some of these records got played quite a bit by their original owners.

Radisson Salt Lake City Downtown
215 West South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT
0.2 mi from
Clean but with a definite 'run down' feeling, operated on a shoe string and it shows..convenient to convention center if there is no other choice.Personel is friendly and helpful, doing the best they can .. Noisy air conditioning and fan blowing in your face at the desk...sleep number bed a disappointment..TV set far from its prime...dinner quality worth forgetting at best..
So close to the Salt Palace convention center. Beds were comfortable. Rooms were smaller than expected, with no microwave.
Excelent facilities, particularly the gym. Good restaurant as well. Very helpful staff. Great city centre location The outside looks little sad, but once inside is fine
great downtown location, close to it all would have liked a fridge in the room, other then that wonderful
Breakfast buffet was quick and very good for this kind of meal. Waitperson was very polite and helpful. Clerks at reception desk also were great.
Clean place with friendly staff. They even threw in a free breakfast with our stay. It was also an easy walk to the mall. The room had cool art but, the heater was very loud. Something wrong with the fan. Also no bathroom fan oddly enough.
Rooms were clean and neat Was told that there was a airport shuttle....not Check in was @ late! Got into room @ 5. Had to put luggage into closet by front desk while we walked around downtown, waiting for a phone call from them stating that our room was ready. We were not the only ones either. Was told that our stay included the breakfast, found out after we had already had eaten....
The hotel met my needs and the location was perfect. The hotel staff was great and the parking was excellent. I would expect the Radisson to be a very nice hotel. The SLC Radisson was not a very nice hotel. The room was just an average room with sub standard furniture requiring replacement. I had a better room at a two star hotel. I don't think the hotel should have charged to park at the hotel ($24.00 for two days was excessive).
Love the location, very close to Salt Palace. The pool area was also nice. Not worth the price for anything other than location. Bathroom was pretty dirty, the room was nothing special. Our mini fridge was leaking when we checked in and the floor was wet. They sent a new one right up which was great. I wish the floor elevators went straight to the parking garage. It was mediocre for my expectation of a 4 star hotel.
Very good central location, the motorized bed system to get a better confort was astonishing.
Accommodations were comfortable, inviting, and very convenient to Salt Palace convention center. Staff was wonderful. Service at restaurant was slow and sometimes absent. Disappointing, because the food was excellent.
Great location to downtown! The rooms were pretty good quality and appear to be updated. I visited while the outside temp was 105 and the interior hallways to the rooms matched that or exceeded that. The room AC was great but the halls were too hot.
Within walking distance to city creek Room was very small. Run down. Needs up dated. Not worth the money. Water hot then cold in shower. Staff was ok.
It was in the heart of Salt Lake City across of Temple Square, across of Abravanel Hall, and City Creek Shopping Center. The free fare zone helped to get around using the train in front of the hotel and several buses nearby. Nice view of the city from the hotel. I found a few stains on the upper part of the shower curtain, lack of space to put luggage down, and a cold draft coming from the balcony door even though it was closed. This was mainly due to the snow storm though.
Great location! The water in the morning would be hot and then cold- not very comfortable!
Conveniently located next to Temple Square, within walking distance of the convention center. Easy access to lots of local restaurants/shops/bars. The staff was always very nice, and the light rail from the airport stops directly in front of the hotel. My room also had a great view of the Temple Square area and the mountains in the background. Not a very big room, although I didn't need a lot of space as a solo business traveler. The bed wasn't the most comfortable I've slept in, but it could have been much worse. They offered the option to not wash the sheets every day if desired (in order to save water and resources), which I appreciated, but did not offer to do the same for the towels.
Nice place, great location, has been recently updated with décor, bed was very comfortable, room was clean, free internet with good service Staff was knowledgeable but a little slow, price was a high versus other locations of similar quality, not a modern or chic building but very serviceable.
Nice place, great location and walking distance to shopping mall. Hotel room clean and spacious.
I liked the location and friendly staff The old rooms and broken heater, loud refrigerator. Not the cleanest bedding.
Unplanned overnight in Salt Lake due to flight cancellation. Hotel is ideally located (really is adjacent to Temple Square and City Creek). Squeaky clean. Deco lifted from a set of "The Americans," or maybe something five or ten years earlier. Not old, just old.
The location is great. Light rail stop right out front. Half a block to the convention center. Only feet from the Salt Lake Temple if you are interested in sightseeing
Everything we came to Salt Lake City for is within walking distance of the Salt Lake Plaza & at a very reasonable price. This was my second visit & would stay again when I return to town. It would be nice if parking were included in the rate, but the $5.00 fee is reasonable & parking is secure.
I didn't like that you had to pay for parking each day and you had to pay for WiFi.
The location was excellent and the facilities were very nice. The young man who first met us as we drove up was very, very friendly and helpful. We had trouble getting connected to the Wi-Fi. When we did (with the help of their out-sourced IT) it was a very weak signal. Also, when we got to the hotel, the place seemed a bit chaotic with wedding guests, wedding parties and tons of people clogging the entry way.
It was clean. The staff was courteous, friendly, helpful and well informed. It was close to Temple Square and Shopping! Great atmosphere! No microwave or refrigerator in room. Also I don't like that they charge you for bottled water, $3.00 seems very high!
The firepits and lounge area No outside pool or hot tub. Room wasn't as nice as I was expecting for the money.
I always stay at the Hilton, it's great location and pretty luxury althought there's many more luxury hotels, Hilton is great in price and location, close to bars and City Creek Mall The extra charge for parking should be included with the stay
When I was working I stayed at this hotel year after year, and appreciated the little extras they had. This room was very basic, no extras or frills - but it was close to the political convention I was attending.
Rooms are clean and comfortable Room was not ready when I arrived
The daily parking seemed a little steep given both the parking garage and surrounding streets were basically empty.
The view Bathroom Filthy carpets Dated rooms
The staff was so nice and very accommodating! Their Bambora resturant was amazing! The best food I've ever had! It was so good that we ate there for dinner and breakfast. Wine/social hour was very relaxing. It was a fabulous get away!!!
It was clean and centrally located. TL;DR We were overcharged for the room. The room was dark and tiny. We were "upgraded" to a smaller, darker room. Don't stay here. Paying via priceline was $40 more than the hotel website advertised. On a night when the hotel was nearly empty, we were given an awkward corner room that was poorly lit and the size of a closet. Front desk was nice enough to "upgrade" us.... to a smaller and darker yet equally uncomfortable corner room. The robes were threadbare, faded leopard print, and gross. It was so terrible that we questioned whether we were on Candid Camera. I've been a lifelong Kimpton devotee but never again. There are so many great hotel options in SLC. Don't waste your time or money here.
Location, friendly staff, decor Room 708 must be very close to ventsbof some sort because there is a hum going on the whole day and night, which could affect quality or sleep.
Room, location, bed, view Girl that checked us in put us in the wrong room and when told did it again. I went to remedy and was told that hotels.com could not reserve the room I requested and that I would need to request refund from them. I went back to wrong room, called hotels.com and miraculously the correct room opened up! Yeah for hotels.com
Restaurant was very good - except for the dogs. Staff was helpful and friendly Dogs
Well decorated, nice overall. Other people's showers so loud it kept me up, knocking on my door when I have do not disturb tag hanging, if you arrive late at night your reservation may disappear, parking is stupid expensive considering cost of room, no parking for large vehicles.
I would definitely recommend it . I am going to stay more over there Everything was great.
My husband and I enjoy staying here because it's always modern, clean, sophisticated and welcoming. They are so friendly and the rooms have these fun and creative amenities, like yoga mats & animal print bathrobes. We often have overnight lay-overs and roadtrip pit-stops in Salt Lake City and the Kimpton Monaco never disappoints. No complaints
Loved it here! Great place to stay! The staff is so friendly, definitely has a high end feel. Furnishings are very nice and unique layout. Very clean. Bed is very comfortable. I highly recommend getting room service. The restaurant in the hotel is to die for. They accept pets and welcome them with open arms. Valet service for $24 per night is very worth it! Lovely hotel!
Bed was very comfy and big for me, my wife and out 7 month old little boy. Staff was nice and helpful. Had a great view from the 9th floor. Location was awesome. For a last minute trip, this place a gold to stay at. The bathroom was small, I have stayed at cheaper places with bigger bathrooms. Breakfast was over priced. It was cheaper for my family to go else where for food.
Bed was awful. Lobby was stark and uninviting.
this is one of the best hotels in SLC, the location, amenities and friendliness of staff is outstanding
The location was great. $15.00 for parking and no free wifi.
Bed was comfy...perfect for two. City view at night was amazing. Originally paid for the high rise but they tried to put me on the third floor. Desk worker Sage was very kind and helpful in getting us into a more appropriate room on the 14th floor. Small bathroom....small bathtub. Very few options for "gift store." 7 dollars for a bowl of cereal!!
Clean, great location You are required to pay a $15 parking fee per day to use the only parking structure available on the premises.
The hotel itself is nice. It's comfortable, clean. Seems best for business or couples. The indoor pool was fun with a city view. We had a few problems with our room upon arrival. Online we had booked a room with a sofa bed, and the microwave/fridge. The room they gave us had no sofa bed for our kids, so they switched us to a room with no fridge/microwave. The staff weren't very friendly. When asking questions about breakfast, facilities, getting extra blankets and pillows etc. they were rude and treated us as if we were being incovenient with all these "silly" questions. The pillows were miserable! Down and feather pillows provide no support so it made sleeping on a nice mattress difficult.
the staff was great , the bed comfortable , room was nice parking was difficult , room service was a little slow
Convenient to all the downtown sights. Back patio is right on Gallivan Center plaza. Great views of the mountains. Cheerful service from everyone, from valet to housekeeping to front desk. Dinner at on-site restaurant was just okay.
Great location and the view from my window was amazing. Very friendly staff. Clean comfortable bed. For the price the room was small, No spa, No coffee in the room. Not a hot tub, jacuzzi to be found. Room was hot. I was a very sad girl.
The rooms were all updated beautifully with modern bathrooms and very comfortable bedding. Would definitely stay again !!
The room was very nice. The facility was clean and well situated. I really liked the pool, sauna, and the overall room. My friend ended up getting food poisoning after eating the breakfast. Please make sure that your food is fresh. He got very little rest that night and ended up vomiting for most of the trip.
Everything was perfect, no issues whatsoever. The room was cleaned so thoroughly everyday that it felt like we were getting a brand new room every day. No complaints whatsoever.
Price was extremely high during our stay
I enjoyed the friendly staff, convenient location, and the clean rooms!
Good breakfast. Better than other places we've stayed. Nice people. Good room. Breakfast not as good as I remember. Parking was limited. Loading/unloading lane was packed with overnight parking. The regular parking was all taken. We were sent across the street with a parking pass. When we went leave the attendant didn't recognize or no what to do with the pass. Luckily he let us through.
convenient location, Nice staff all else was bad. it smelled, our room had a whole in the ceiling and our bed had hair in it. The breakfast was bad and weird.
Nice big / clean room and comfy bed. Enjoyed the pool and spa and especially the proximity to the convention center for the conference I was attending. The hotel is under construction. It's getting a much needed update, but that meant construction noise and scaffolding outside my window. Wasn't a big deal.
clean and conveniently located. They don't have room service.
It was so new and nice and clean.
The beds are comfortable. Shilo In is under construction. Do not stay here unless you absolutely have to. The front lobby is cold, the parking is behind the Shilo Inn (you have to walk around the block to access the parking). Construction in the building is from 7am - 7pm (noisy and don't even try to sleep in). After I got to the Shilo Inn, is when I realized how much work is being done, and I still paid full price.
Staff was nice, good location. The hotel was very run down. Had broken table, ancient tv, and microwave. Free breakfast was a joke. Don't recommend staying there.
Great location! Elevators were constantly broken and the stairs were off limits so sometimes the weight for an elevator for 20-30 min
This is a former Howard Johnson's. The rates are reasonable, they even have a shuttle to and from the airport. The furniture is older but the beds are comfortable. The place was very clean. The breakfast was cereal, bagels, toast, canned fruit, juice, milk, coffee and packaged Danishes. The continental breakfast was limited and some rooms open to an outside hall which is quite cold in the winter.
At least five lamps in the room did not work. Tube style TV. No "do not disturb" sign for the door. Staff couldn't be bothered to help with a simple request.
North Temple Inn is very well situated for walking access to many downtown destinations. It is among the most affordable considering its location. The property is a bit dated, in need of updating. Much of the maintenance work done within the rooms has an unfinished look to it - functionally complete but cheaply done (mismatched paint, obvious signs of patching, etc.). The fact that the maintenance has been done is a good thing, but that it is done on a tight budget seems evident. TV in room was an old-style tube television. Furnishings were chipped and scratched, but fully functional. Wireless Internet was variable.
They let me keep my car in the parking lot for the rest of the day after I checked out The room was really clean The heater worked well The breakfast wasn't that great The whole place is kind of run down and old
Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Loved the location. Being one block away from energy solutions arena was very convenient. Older hotel.
Close to city center WiFi connection was very poor and hotel staff were helpless
One block from ESA, very clean rooms, friendly, helpful staff. Have stayed here before and will again without hesitation. Rooms were small and slightly out of date but very comfortable. Breakfast was limited but I didn't stay here for that. Good value for what we received.
Traveling alone I like the parking lot very close to busy streets And well lit
The ONLY news Channels on the Television was Faux Nuwz. Fox, Multi Year Winner of Worst Media Lie.
The bed which was supposed to be a queen I swear it was a double. But the bed was comfortable. The TV remote didn't work which wasn't a big deal as it turned out because the TV didn't work.Then we couldn't turn it off. It was on all night. Remember Poltergeist? The room smelled.They didn't allow smoking but I think it would have it would have been an improvement. The sign outside says $69 and up. We paid $123.+ When I asked about the price difference was told due to conference in town. Breakfast was the pastries in bags,(only two per person, who would want two?) bagels, canned fruit, cold cereal. A funny thing was, they had 4 boxes of tea available, all the same kind. If you don't like Jasmine Green tea you are SOL! Not a good experience at all.
This spot is close to downtown. THe place is generally clean and well maintained, and the cost is very reasonable. The only problem I would say was the carpets were old and not super clear
Very affordable. Great value. Not super comfy pillows, nor comforter.

Ladies, you know we act superior to guys because we're able to do everything they do while wearing heels.
Well, this guy (choreographer Yanis Marshall) is out to prove us wrong! Not only does he look almost as good as Bey herself doing this "Drunk In Love" choreography but he's wearing some stilettos that are making my feet hurt just looking at them!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than those you did."
Mark Twain
Spending time at work you find monotonous and boring will interfere with your ability to enjoy life.
You must wake up every morning excited about the day and what you will be doing.
For more than 40-years the Club has been helping members to work and travel all over the world and to enjoy an adventurous lifestyle - and it's run solely by those who have lived the lifestyle themselves and know all about it.
You're sitting in the same old pub on Friday night with the same old people when in comes Joe (or Steve or Sue) who's been working in the Australian Outback, travelling around Tibet, and crewed a boat from Freemantle to Sri Lanka.
You and your friends try to pretend that it's been more interesting and exciting in Neasthorpe, Cheltifax or Sadcity, but who are you kidding? Boredom is the reason why most people get-up-and-go, but there are lots of others.
If you're reading this then perhaps you are bored and prefer to be enjoying a beer with a group of treeplanters in a tavern in the Cariboo Mountains, a mug of chicha in the Bolivian altiplano, or enjoying a free stay with us in Costa Rica while travelling the world.
Enjoying a Work Adventure as a safari tour driver (game warden) in Kenya, and experiencing the incredible wildlife?
Working on a cruise ship in the entertainment department, sailing the Mediterranean and enjoying visiting those places you've always wanted to?
Seasonal work earning good money harvesting fruit in Canada's glorious Okanagan Valley, and enjoying the great watersports during your free time?
Taking a Working Holiday in a summer resort, such as Cancun, Mexico, and meeting the rich and famous?
Working in a ski resort and experiencing the exhilaration of organising snowmobile tours in, say, Colorado?
Conservation work helping to protect koala bear habitat in Queensland, Australia, and working with everything from Kangaroos to dolphins?
An action job with the adrenalin-rush working as a river-running guide on the Futaleufu River in Patagonia, Chile?
Working as a self-employed guide running trail riding adventures in Costa Rica?
And so on. If you're not tempted by any of these then you're on the wrong website!
But, if you fancy adventure in the far flung corners of the world we hope you will find what you are looking for on this website. If not, e-mail us.

"A little over 12-months ago I was bored with the job I had and the area I lived in. I had for a long time been an armchair traveller - always sitting around thinking how wonderful it would be to see the world but never actually doing anything - just dreaming. I suddenly decided that the only thing stopping me from doing it was myself ..."

Shortly after, we helped Jane start her 19-week adventure through seven countries.
"There are so many things I want to do, so many places I want to go and so much I want to see. Until I heard of your Club I thought many of them were impossible - just nice ambitions. Now I realise that I can do all of them and more - the opportunities are endless and things that I never dreamed of are right there at my fingertips.

If you like to work outdoors, enjoy wildlife, conservation minded, want adventure, then here are a few examples of things you could be doing, with some comments from working travellers.
Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef and helping with a marine survey. (ACTION jobs)
Working on a sheep station in the Australian outback. (Seasonal & Casual Work)
Thailand, enjoying the good life in ramshackle huts on the beach. (Travelling Companions)
The Pyramids of Egypt and overland adventure through Africa. (Work Adventures)
Experience the lure of the wild from the Polar Bear Express. (Conservation Work)
Here I am working on a luxury private yacht travelling to the Seychelles. (Work on Cruise Ships)
When driving expedition vehicles through Africa you need a good sense of humour. (Working Holidays)
The Big Hof we lived in when working in Iceland made me think of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
The Icelanders were friendly and would even lend us their cars. (Work in Ski Resorts)
After a year in the USA, tree-planting and truck driving, on to to Australia and then Indonesia ... "The company sends me all over the place, Bali, Sumatra, etc ... Basically I've never had it so good as the saying goes. It's a great life and Indonesia a hell of a place to live it ..." (Seasonal & Casual Work)
"If you have special interests then teaching English in Tokyo is a great way to explore them, get involved, or try out new and exciting pastimes, while supporting yourself on a good salary." (Work Adventures)
"When you have seen a real live bear in the wild it is something you will never forget." John.
At 6,500 the air was relatively thin and took a little getting used to. (Conservation Work)
(While working at the gold mine in the Aussie Outback) ... Lunch was always relaxing as we were driven to a great picnic under some shady trees. Our camp consisted of a row of tents with dining and washing vehicles. When there was time off we would all pile into the back of a pickup truck and drive the 20 or so miles through the bush to Kununurra." (Working Holidays)
After a month in the disco I started work in a restaurant, evenings only, which was ideal because I could ski all day. Rosalind in Courmayeur. (Work in Ski Resorts)
Enjoying the nightlife of Buenos Aires and Montevideo while working on a ship. (Work on Cruise Ships)
Working on mountain trails is great, living in the great outdoors, with the pleasure of working with a group of people - the camaraderie of camp life with a trail crew has to be experienced, it cannot be described. (Conservation Work)
Small touring boats off New Zealand's Kaikoura Peninsula bring as many as 180 people a day to swim with 50 to 300 dolphins that play. On the surface things seem to be going OK, but is it really good for the dolphins? It takes a lot of observers to help collect data to help set the standards. (Conservation Work)
Owning and operating your own business can be tremendously exciting (Working for Yourself), whether in your own country, the Caribbean or anywhere in the world.
Why not come and stay with us, enjoy all kinds of recreational opportunities such as surfing, diving, rafting in Costa Rica and other countries (Our Tropical Base).

A condensed story on WORK ABROAD and Jobs abroad
One Sunday in spring, after three days of travel over dusty prairie, I alighted from the train in Calgary, that rapidly spreading cow town in Western Canada. I had spent part of the summer tree planting in British Columbia and then managed to get some dude ranch work, which turned out to be one of the best summer jobs I had ever done, and I earned lots of money – especially tree planting.
I had a mind now to continue my work around the world adventure by either taking one of those cruise ship jobs, that my travel friends had told me about, or else getting a ski job in either Banff or Jasper. Whilst I enjoyed skiing, and ski work at this time of year was a good option, I had to decide whether I wanted to spend the next few months at a ski resort, or enjoy the sun, somewhere in the Caribbean perhaps, working aboard a cruise liner.
I decided to have a look in my copy of the Club member's handbook. This had lots of jobs overseas and all kinds of opportunities for work abroad, and lots of contacts for jobs on cruise ships – as well as ski jobs of course – but there were lots of other interesting things from conservation work and trail building in National Forest, National Park and Wildlife Reserves – and I'd always wanted to see a grizzly bear – to jobs in America under the Work America program, voluntary work in Africa, right on to teaching English as an efl teacher.
My friend had spent a working holiday English teaching in Japan under an International Exchange scheme and said that it was one of the best overseas jobs he had ever had. I had to make a decision; what was it to be? By pure coincidence I heard from an old school friend, Paul, who had been an expedition driver in South America the last time I had heard from him. His letter from a summer camp in New York had been forwarded to me and as this holiday job was coming to an end he was interested in teaming up with me to look for new adventure travel.
I managed to reach him by phone and he decided to hitch hike across Canada and meet me the following week. His girlfriend, Christine, at this time was a cruise ship hostess on a world cruise and the ship would be visiting Vancouver in the next few weeks so maybe cruise ship employment was a likely prospect. She was as well travelled as we were, having had her first taste of overseas adventure during her gap year with a holiday job as an Au pair and nanny in Europe, followed by a working holiday on a kibbutz in Israel, and seasonal work fruit picking. To cut a long story short, we all ended up working on a cruise ship on its way from British Columbia to Alaska; I with a job in the restaurant and bar work evenings, my friend working in the casino, with his girlfriend enjoying her job as a cruise ship hostess.
Working at sea was a great way of life, and the pay was also excellent with cruise line employment. There were hundreds of cruise staff aboard, so it seemed that there were lots of other people who also enjoyed travel jobs. There were jobs for students, action jobs for those keen on water skiing, scuba diving jobs, water-skiing jobs, amongst dozens of others.
We spend nearly a year working on a cruise ship, but then decided that although we were making lots of money it was time to visit other places and enjoy some world travel. Budget travel was always the most fun – here were some of the greatest adventures to be had – hitchhiking, panning for gold by a roadside stream whilst waiting for a ride, camping, helping with conservation work on the way, watching wildlife – from grizzly bears to whales, exploring old goldmines, and sometimes there were gold nuggets to be found near these old gold mine sites.
We left the ship in Miami, Florida, spending the first few weeks ashore at a workcamp helping to monitor wildlife in the Everglades National Park, a very enjoyable work camp. After that we headed up north on an auto driveaway program – free travel on a car delivery program – to New York and on to a summer camp run by the Club in the Adirondack Park. Here Christine, who enjoyed the outdoors and wide-open spaces and especially working with horses, worked in the camp kitchen.
Paul enjoyed trail building and forestry work and helping with the construction of the main camp complex – he used to be a carpenter and joiner – spending his relaxation time hiking the many trails and canoeing, while I had the opportunity of learning new skills and how to build with logs.

May 7, 2013God Mode is great mindless entertainment, until you start paying attention and are left wanting more...
Apr 22, 2013God Mode is the type of game that grows on you. The biggest complaint I have is a lack of variety, which is to be expected of a budget title. What Old School Games did include in this straightforward, arcade-centric shooter shows promise of a more fleshed-out project. There's also a hint of personality with a goofy narrator, but the execution isn't quite there.
CD-ActionJun 4, 2013God Mode is a likable run-of-the-mill effort that can offer a couple of enjoyable hours, but nothing more. [CD-Action 07/2013, p.64]
Apr 22, 2013If you're looking for a fun way to spend a few hours on the cheap, then God Mode is a decent investment. The gameplay is solid, and there are plenty of little extras to keep things fun and interesting—though the meager selection of maps means there's a good chance the game will become stale after a few hours.
Apr 26, 2013At the end of the day, though, there are simply better games to spend one's time with than God Mode. Sure it's ten bucks, but for the same amount one could just wait for something like Left 4 Dead or Killing Floor to go on sale, and have a much more enjoyable experience.
Apr 23, 2013God Mode tries to find some kind of Painkiller gameplay, but it can't really make it. It is to much repetitive and limited. The whole experience would deserve some refinements... like changing this damn "standing still" sensation.
Apr 24, 2013The aesthetics of the game create an illusion of quality. God Mode, at its core, feels as cheap as the price tag might suggest. The one-note shooting can't sustain the game through all five maps.

Yes,For $10 you certainly get your moneys worth. God Mode is a 4 person co-operative shooter made by a new developer, published by Atlus.
Yes, THAT Atlus. The one who's product line consists purely of games that are BALLS HARD. Don't fret, though, the difficulty is rarely, if ever, cheap. The gameplay itself straddles the line between co-operative third person shooter and competitive third person shooter. Kill XP and gold are not shared between players, which pushes everyone to one-up eachother, yet enemies will flood the arenas making it nigh impossible for a single player to survive by themselves (Note: Single player is an exercise in frustration)
Core gameplay consists of picking between one of five maps (three of which end in boss fights) Players move from one (gorgeous) arena to another mowing down hordes of undead roman/greek creatures. A unique feature of these arenas are the "Tests of Faith", basically each arena alters the rules slightly to modify the experience, e.g. one arena might give you the "Armored" test of faith which causes all damage to be shared between players, another will swap your current weapon out for a random one every 10 seconds (even if you haven't unlocked the weapon yet), or one that reduces everyones maximum health by half but gives everyone health regeneration. Sometimes you get completely silly ones like "Party" which gives all enemies party hats!
The game includes a sizable portion of unlockables, giving it more than 10 USD worth of longevity. In game you earn XP and Gold, which are used to unlock new weapons, weapon upgrades and clothes respectively. If the game isn't challenging you enough, you can choose to activate "Oaths", which make the game harder in exchange for increased gold and XP gain (The higher level you are, the more you'll be needing to use Oaths if you want to see any significant progress towards advancement) An example of the oaths are "The Thief", which makes it so you do not have armor in game and cannot pick up armor, but you get a 15% increase to XP and 20% increase to gold, or the "Warrior" oath, which makes it so your Special Ability cannot be used for similar XP and gold gain increments.
While that all may sound fine and dandy, this game DOES have some issues. If you do not have a very good connection expect to see other players lagging (NPC lag compensation works well enough though) Another issue, and perhaps my BIGGEST grievance, is that voice chat is ALWAYS enabled with no option to turn it off, either for you or any of the other player. You can disable your mic through your hardware settings, but nobody should have to do that. The final issue I have with the game is that it has a rather weak start. The two weapons and one special ability you start off with are nigh useless (The SMG has RIDICULOUS spread making hitting anything outside of point blank an exercise in futlity, the shotgun has too TIGHT a spread and reloads like a snail riding a turtle, and the Shield ability doesn't even do what it's namesake says) Fortunately, you can upgrade the SMG and Shotgun into uberweapons once you finish a few matches.
Other than those three grievances, I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes "Horde Mode" shooters with cooperative and competitive elements. For only $10, you get more than your moneys worth!… Expand

Each stage players take on swarms of undead monsters as they fight for their after life. You'll collect XP and gold in order to upgrade your character.
The game looks good and has native Xbox 360 controller out of the box. I feel it has limited game play, but even then it's hard to argue at the $10.00 USD price point.… Expand
May 31, 2013Addition: I am going to leave the rest of the review as I originally wrote it, but I needed to add that Atlus has completely abandoned thisAddition: I am going to leave the rest of the review as I originally wrote it, but I needed to add that Atlus has completely abandoned this game and the playerbase as of now. They have given absolutely no response to the community since Apr 26th, and players are extremely pissed and raising hell in the Steam forums.
First of all, despite my rating and complaints, I am having a blast playing this game. However, a few simple things keep this game from being amazing regardless of its price. Most of all is the matchmaking system, the queue times get extremely tedious way too fast. Second is the completely ridiculous fact that you get booted from a match if/when your last partner decides to leave. This is ridiculous, happens way too often, and will be the reason I stop playing God Mode. That being said, the very simple gameplay winds up being extraordinarily fun, they added some really intuitive touches to the arena style matches that make them unique. I also really like the "Oaths" system that allows you to handicap yourself for greater potential reward. Overall, for a 10 dollar game, this game could be a 9/10 if it fixed the two major issues involving co-op matches and matchmaking queues. It is just too important and annoying in a 100% co-op style game like this. I would also like to see much more customization and equipment options. I am disappointed in the lack of selection. Even for 10 bucks, these things need to be addressed in order to be a worthy rated game.… Expand

You and three other crappily designed characters wander around a small area that looks like it belongs more in one of Painkiller's many shovelware standalone expansions. You stand in place mostly, waiting for the same few enemies to pop up to be killed, then you get to move on and do the same.
This isn't a $10 game. There's about 40 minutes worth of content and a surprisingly long list of bugs compared to that small amount of content. Overall I'd say asking anything more than $2.50 is ridiculous.… Expand

If some of you enjoy playing poker online you may have notice that sometimes it can be a little bit hard to be eligible to play especially if you are from north america.
So here is the thing, most poker sites allow you to run applications on their site(so there is no need to download anything) but most of this application are java based, therefore using a proxy wouldnt always work as i have heard that java exposes your real ip.
Is there any way to bypass this filter?
Thank you
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Apart from the obvious legality of this subject, it has nothing to do with the purpose of this forum, which is the support of backtrack.

Zero + Maria Cornejo Fall 2014
What if she'd taken a year off to travel through Chile after graduating from college? If she'd allowed herself a gap year, how would she have dressed for the adventure? These were the questions that designer Maria Cornejo asked herself when she set out to create fall 2014. "So, a lot of the pieces reflect travel clothes, but luxury travel clothes, like tracksuits done in alpaca," Cornejo explained backstage before the show. "Or they're things that I imagine a college kid wearing—a lot of the shapes are exaggerated and quite naïve. There's a bit of an innocence in the collection that was inspired by being that age."
The journey, so to speak, starts with four versions of the aforementioned tracksuits, all done in the snowiest creams and whites, and paired with furry ankle boots. (This is what you wear on the plane to Patagonia, see?) The neutral sway of the palette might not seem to reflect the destination, but Cornejo wasn't feeling "big bright colors this season." Next came a series of graphic jacquards and heavy-on-the-shearling looks that one might pack for hiking in the Andes mountains. The poncho in look 12 and parka in look 14, both of which were made of a waterproof, fleece-lined polar tech fabric, would actually weather the weather up there quite well. The jacquards looked vaguely Sherpa-y all layered as they were, acting as the season's "print" (quote-unquote because real prints are actually something that Cornejo chose consciously to include only one of in this collection). "I, personally, am not wearing a lot of print right now. Instead I wanted to focus on all of the different textures," she said, pointing to the geometric lace and dotted wool on the rack. Tucked in between the outdoorsy intro and the eveningwear finale—"rather than doing big ball gowns, they're more relaxed," Cornejo said of the roomy paillette-print dresses and feather-striped pantsuit one could wear to dinner at a friend's—was the schoolgirl series. White-and-cornflower-blue shirts buttoned all the way up and worn with uniform-looking wool skirts and jumpers channeled what one editor called the emerging "bookish textured girl" trend—even without their furry cross-bodies and backpacks attached.

MATTHEWS, N.C. — Increased customer traffic during Family Dollar's third quarter may have helped the company produce a 4.7% same-store sales increase, however earnings per share that advanced 18.2% to 91 cents were four cents shy of analysts' consensus estimate of 95 cents.
The respectable 4.7% comp increase was below the company's guidance of a 5% to 7% gain and came on top of a prior-year gain of 7%, but analysts had higher expectations for total quarterly revenues, which at $2.15 billion were less than expected. The company said the comp increase was the result of increased customer traffic as well as an increase in average customer transactions with the strongest sales performance coming in the consumables and home products categories during the period that ended May 28.
"We accomplished much this quarter to position us to capture greater market share and execute our longer-term vision for Family Dollar," said Howard Levine, Family Dollar chairman and CEO. "I remain confident that our strategy of providing customers with value and convenience, combined with the impactful investments we are making to improve the shopping experience in our stores and our profitability, will continue to deliver strong shareholder returns."
Those returns were pressured during the quarter as gross margins declined to 36.2% from 36.6% the prior year due to strong sales of lower margin consumables, increased promotional markdowns and higher transportation costs. The company said those pressures were partially offset by investments in price management capabilities, private brands, global sourcing and lower inventory shrinkage. In addition, a 15% increase in inventories was faster than the 7.8% increase in sales as the company expanded assortments of food and health and beauty in more than 5,000 stores.
The company has also been expanding its store base. During the first three quarters of its fiscal year, Family Dollar opened 206 new stores and closed 48 stores compared to 125 store openings and 56 closings in the first three quarters of the prior year. During the third quarter alone, there were 367 store renovations giving the company a total of 680 on the year.
More renovations are planned during the fourth quarter bring the total figure to 900. Additional store openings will also occur bring the total number of new unit to 300. The company operated roughly 6,900 stores in 44 states at the end of the quarter.
Looking ahead, fourth quarter earnings per share are forecast to fall in a range of 62 cents to 70 cents compared with 56 cents last year while full year profitability is forecast in a range of $3.08 to $3.16 compared with $2.62 last year.

Tom Thum Astounds Audience at TEDxSyndey
If you are unaware as to exactly what "TED Talks" are, let me inform you: TED Talks are AMAZING. The TED Talks slogan is "ideas worth spreading" which roughly translates to (in my book) 'anything you hear at TED Talks will BLOW your FRICKEN. MIND.' They are informative, fascinating, and entertaining to say the least. And as a fellow nerd, well, this just tickles my fancy in all the right ways.

Ketones - urineKetone bodies - urine; Urine ketones
Ketones build up when the body needs to break down fats and fatty acids to use as fuel.This is most likely to occur when the body does not get enough sugar or carbohydrates.
A urine test can be done to check the level of ketones in your body.
How the Test is Performed
The test requires a clean catch urine sample.
To obtain a clean catch sample, men or boys should clean the head of the penis. Women or girls need to wash the area between the lips of the vagina with soapy water and rinse well.
As you start to urinate, allow a small amount to fall into the toilet bowl to clear the urethra of contaminants. Then, put a clean container under your urine stream and catch 1 to 2 ounces of urine. Remove the container from the urine stream. Cap and mark the container and give it to the health care provider or assistant.
For infants, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on the infant. For boys, the entire penis can be placed in the bag and the adhesive attached to the skin. For girls, the bag is placed over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag.
This procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can displace the bag. The infant should be checked frequently and the bag changed after the infant has urinated into the bag. The urine is drained into the container for transport to the laboratory.
Urine ketones are usually measured as a "spot test" using a dipstick coated with chemicals that react with ketone bodies. The dipstick is dipped in the urine sample, and a color change indicates the presence of ketones.
How to Prepare for the Test
You may have to eat a special diet, and you should stop taking any drugs that may affect the test.
If the collection is being taken from an infant, you may need extra collection bags.
How the Test Will Feel
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
Ketone testing is most often doneif you have type 1 diabetes and:
- Your blood sugar is higher than 240 mg/dL
- You have an illness such as pneumonia, heart attack, or stroke
- Nausea or vomiting occur
- You are pregnant
Normal Results
A negative test result is normal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal result means you have ketones in your urine. The results are usually listed as small, moderate, or large as follows:
- Small: < 20 mg/dL
- Moderate: 30 - 40 mg/dL
- Large: > 80 mg/dL
This may be due to diabetic ketoacidosis,a problem that occurs in people with Type 1 diabetes. It occurs when the body cannot use sugar (glucose) as a fuel source because there is little or no insulin. Fat is used for fuel instead.
An abnormal result may also be due to:
- Abnormal food or nutrition intake due to:
- Anorexia
- Fasting
- High protein or low carbohydrate diets
- Starvation
- Vomiting over a long period of time
- Disorders of increased metabolism
- Acute or severe illness
- Burns
- Fever
- Hyperthyroidism
- Nursing a baby (lactation)
- Pregnancy
There are no risks.
Special diets can change test results. For example, a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein and fat can raise ketone levels in the blood, which can then enter the urine.
Some drugs, including glucocorticoids, can cause false positive measurements.

I used android phones until my wife bought me an iPod touch 4g. I quite literally went the next day and got an iPhone. I think it comes down to personal preference, and I prefer the beauty and ease of use that came stock with iOS. Now, I'm patiently waiting for my iPhone 5.
On a side note, that plug statement was hilarious.
[QUOTE=Carvensno;6678736]Cya BYE
As far as im aware of? as long as you can get the phone into DFU mode your pretty much safe and can reload IOS. But who knows??? LOL i have always followed instructions on the jailbreaking, tweaks, themeing and such. I have never had to worry about it.
If you could get off the apple c... for a minute you might be surprised by what you see.
^^^Yes, this was a great site but after this new horrible site change, A LOT of people left including the main members who I NEVER see posting anymore.
Samsuck, did you forget to mention i5 has a better camera with better Image Stabilisation, better lens, better audio recording, better apps, access to the worlds largest music and mobile App Store?
I think it's time Apple started iPhone vs Android adverts like PC vs Mac, I miss those.
Ah, I love these drama threads. Let me chime in. First off, I've owned an iPhone 3gs, an iPhone 4s, and a 4th gen iPod touch (I have my iPhone 5 on the way...can't freakin' wait!!). On Android side, I've owned an OG EVO, an EVO 3D, a Galaxy s2, a Galaxy nexus, a Galaxy note, and most recently, a Galaxy s3. I just returned my galaxy s3 and pre-ordered my iPhone 5. Here's the main difference, imo, and why I'm choosing iOS for the moment. Android is great if you want to work real hard to make it great, with some exceptions that I'm sick of dealing with. Vanilla Android, like what comes stock on a nexus device is nice and custom ROM's are great too. The problem with all of them, as someone already mentioned, is that just when you think you've got the perfect set up, you download an app and realize it's not compatible. Or, an app that was working fine a minute ago suddenly forces closes. Its REALLY frustrating. So, you read up on forums, ask questions, find a fix and apply it, but alas--the "fix" breaks something else. And you have to start all over again. What I love and miss about iOS is that you don't need a custom ROM. Everything works perfectly. Plus when switching devices, you don't have to worry about compatibility.
Aside from this, you cannot compare build quality. iPhone wins every time. It feels so damn good in your hands. Not sure what manufacturers using Android's OS don't get about this. Plastic sucks. Period. Finally, if you like gaming (like me), Android is really gonna piss you off. Games don't work accross all devices. The best games only work on Tegra-chip devices. On iOS they pretty much all work (except for iPad only games, which, correct me if I'm wrong, aren't many). Just to top it off, if you enjoy using a lot of custom ROMs be careful about your games saves. I don't know how many I've lost when jumping from one rom to another. I know there are apps that save them but they're not perfect.
The only thing that kept me from coming back to iOS sooner was the 3.5" inch screen size and lack of 4G. IMO, Apple has knocked it out of the park with iPhone 5. Thank God they don't come out with something every other month, like on Android. It really sucks when you spend all your money on the "best" only to have it not be the best anymore next month.
Android has some nice things about it. Customization is out of this world. If you like tinkering with your device (A LOT), then maybe give it a shot. I'm not saying I'll never own an Android device again, I'm just saying that for now, iOS is where I wanna be.
BTW, Samsung IS ridiculous. With every ad they put out I hate them more. And it's true, most of the features they threw in to the Galaxy s3 are useless.
ok, I just ordered the iPhone 5 factory unlocked infect all my devices are factory unlocked ( iPhone 4, 4S, iPad 1, iPad 3 + got an iPod 4) and I like to say that even so I ordered the 5 I'm disappointed and I'm sure Steve Jobs is turning in his grave because after he died the company died with him meaning they are scared to take a risk and make big changes instead of just trying to keep up with the competition! Now because I always paid cash for my devices I think it's time to get a free phone and I'm not sure if I'll get the Galaxy SIII or the the Galaxy Note 2, now I've been an Apple guy since the first iPhone came out but u must admit that beside the plastic back which we all cover with protective cases any way it's a superior phone with unlimited memory upgrade because u can always change the upgrade memory chip to another new one and that a big plus in my book and what about keeping a spare battery in your pocket which we can't do on our iPhones and as much as I hate to admit i believe that Steve Jobs got us by the balls with the money that we spent on the Apps at the App store and accessories at least that how Apple got me! There is much more I can say in favor of the Galaxy which is getting a firmware upgrade really soon and the fear that Apple never felt before that they had to actually go to court to try to be on top again which makes me sad that Steve Jobs is gone.
By the way watch some videos of iPhone 5 VS Galaxy SIII, just see how apple is actually trying to catch up the galaxy had LTE for awhile now and 4 core CPU and 1GB of ram to name just a few things + with the Camera the 5 still don't catch up!
But I'm still an Apple guy!
Ps: and I'll always be an Apple guy as long as I can jailbreak it and get Cydia.
You know why i buy apple products? Its because they build quality products meant to last. Not cheap plastic pieces of crap like the samsung or basically any other smartphone or laptop out there. My friend has the samsung ant the other day all she did was take off her case and her volume button popped off. You wont see that happen to an iphone.

Phelps to Serve as GSAs Emergency Chief
January 24, 2008
Contact: Mike Collins, (202) 501- 1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration announced today its Office of Emergency Response and Recovery will be temporarily headed by the agency's Chief of Staff while its emergency chief is detailed to the White House.
John Phelps, chief of staff to Administrator Lurita Doan, will serve as Acting Director of the GSA's Office of Emergency Response and Recovery (OERR)and will perform both roles during the one year detail of the agency's Chief Emergency Response and Recovery Officer, Richard Reed.
"We are pleased to have such depth of talent here at GSA," said Administrator Doan. "John's work on homeland security and previous experience as Acting OERR director makes him a natural to lead the office during Richard's assignment."
Mr. Reed, a nationally recognized emergency management expert is temporarily serving as the Special Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Senior Director for Continuity Policy Council.
GSA's Office of Emergency Response and Recovery promotes planning and coordination of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery against natural or man-made incidents. As Chief of Staff, Mr. Phelps guides the agency's continuity of operations planning and emergency response efforts. Mr. Phelps also served as OERR's acting director prior to Mr. Reed's arrival in May 2007. Additionally, prior to his arrival at GSA, Mr. Phelps served as Chief Operating Officer of the Grand Canyon Chapter of the American Red Cross, where he was responsible for operations of the sixth-largest American Red Cross chapter in the United States. He also was the Deputy Director of the Arizona Office of Homeland Security and led the creation of systems and processes within
that office to provide more effective and efficient support to hundreds of first responder organizations.
For more information about GSA emergency response and recovery efforts, visit gsa.gov.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and eGov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Disaster and Emergency Operations Vendor Profile form puts small businesses on the government's radar so they do not miss out on federal contract opportunities in a time of disaster. More than 1,500 small businesses have used the online form to identify themselves.

Schelling sought also to furnish himself with a new method for knowing the absolute identity.
Since then Schelling has made numerous tours at home and abroad.
Still his view was growing clearer, and his difference from Schelling more palpable.
Now this is the very thing which, according to Hamilton, Schelling actually did.
Schelling declares it is "pure activity with the negation of all being."
Daub was still in his Schelling stage when Ullmann began to study.
Said Schelling: "Beauty is the perception of the Infinite in the finite."
There Hegel met Schelling, for whom he had a deep admiration.
Coleridge makes certain general acknowledgments of indebtedness to Schelling to begin with.
Did Schelling at any time behold what Hamilton pronounced invisible?

Find a wide range of brands to choose from when selecting your presentation supplies.

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure where modifications are made in the shape and size of the ear. This procedure can only be carried put after the ears are fully developed, that is after the age of 5. This surgery can be used to improve the functionality as well as the appearance of the ear.
The reasons why people opt for otoplasty are-
- If the ears are relatively large in comparison to the face
- When the ear sticks out excessively from the head
- Problems caused by any previous surgery
Incisions are either made through the back of the ear or through the inner creases of the ear. Once the incision is made, then the excess skin or cartilage is eliminated. After completion of the surgery, the incisions are closed by stitches. The entire process generally lasts for up to two hours.
After the stitching is done, the ears are covered with bandages. Once the bandages are removed from the ear, a loose headband is worn to provide support to the ears while sleeping.
Risks associated with the surgery
There are certain risks associated with this surgery, like:
- Formation of the scars due to the surgery
- An asymmetric appearance of the ears as the healing process may affect it
- Decreased skin sensitivity in the adjoining area
- The stitches in the ear can cause inflammation in the skin. It may also lead to an abnormal shape where the ears have a pulled back appearance
- Like other surgeries, bleeding and infection may occur
Post procedural care
The following precautions should be taken after completion of otoplasty:
- The headband should be used constantly after the surgery for about two months
- Direct exposure to the sun should be avoided
- If rash forms after the bandages are removed then consult a medical professional

There is a strong connection between the ears, nose and throat, as any ENT or Ear Nose Throat specialist will be able to tell you. When there is any kind of congestion or obstruction in the nasal passages, one can also feel some effect in the ears with the symptoms going from mild to severe.
So how can nasal obstruction cause clogged ears? Here is our explanation!
- The Connection: To begin with, let us understand the connection between the ears and the nose. There is an opening that can be found in the back of the nose, which leads into a tunnel called the Eustachian Tube. This tube goes into the ears and creates some amount of pressure when the nasal passages get blocked. This pressure can be felt as clogging of the ears and can usually be eradicated with the help of a pop in the ears. This pop can be brought about by pinching your nose and trying to breathe, or even yawning hard or indulging in some gulping or swallowing motion as well.
- Mucosal Swelling: The swelling within the patient's nose usually points at the buildup of mucus, which can make the nasal lining thicker, thus making the act of breathing that much more laboured and difficult. This obstructs the nasal tract, in plain and simple terms. This swelling usually spreads to the tunnel or the Eustachian Tube, which can become swollen and even shut, consequently leading to a feeling of having clogged ears.
- Negative Nasal Pressure: When the pressure inside the nose is built up in a negative way due to the obstruction that makes the patient breathe even harder, then the ears end up taking the pressure. This makes them clogged. This negative pressure usually manifests in the back of the nose where the Eustachian Tube is located, which creates a build up in the ears as well. This can also lead to a ringing pain when a patient tries to suck in air too hard due to the obstruction.
- Bernoulli's Principle: If we are to incorporate air in place of fluid and liken the action of breathing with an obstructed nose, with the action of sucking fluid in through an obstructed straw, then the fluid dynamics would apply to this case. As per these fluid dynamics, more rapid flow of fluid can lead to decreased pressure on the surrounding areas. This can be applied to the blocked nose where air must pass through faster and with more fluidity so as to ensure that there is less pressure on the ears, which will keep them from getting clogged.
Persistent clogged ears and nasal congestion can also point towards an infection and should be checked by a doctor immediately.

Fed Risks Losses From Bonds
The Federal Reserve could be charting a course that leaves the highly profitable central bank with no extra income to hand over to the U.S. Treasury for several years.
That is the conclusion of five Fed staff economists who examined how the central bank's bond-buying programs will affect its profitability over the long run.
Right now the Fed is earning large returns on its bond portfolio and sending most of its profits to the...
