The first page in my corset reference binder is a copy of United States patent number 786,685. Everything about this corset design is elegant: the lovely silhouette, the simplicity of cut with just three curvilinear pieces; even the designer's name, Savoye, speaks of sophistication.
Each time I opened the binder I saw Savoye's design, and each time I thought, "That is one beautiful design!" followed by, "Someday I'll make it." But Edwardian corsets are notorious for being complicated in cut, difficult to construct, and uncomfortable to wear, so I put it off.
Still, I read the patent countless times, and finally, (after how many years?) it sunk in that Savoye was addressing those exact issues - complex cut, difficulty of construction and discomfort in wearing - with his design. It was time to tackle the Savoye 1904.
Emile Savoye lived in Paris and held patents for corset design improvements in both the United States and France when he applied for a U.S. patent for a corset cut from just three pieces: a breast part, a belt part, and a hip part, the pieces joined by horizontal seams so that no seams "intersect vertically the waist."
Savoye claimed that this method of cutting would also make it easier to fit the corset to different figures because the three pieces could be "easily lengthened more or less to suit the measurements taken round the body," and also because there were only two seams to make adjustments to. Additionally, this new design would give an "agreeable appearance by means of seam lines alone." He submitted the application for this new design on January 14, 1904 and over one year later was awarded patent number 786,685, on April 4, 1905.
The first thing I did to test the pattern was to cut the pieces from the patent diagram and connect them to see how they worked together. They didn't.
Monsieur Savoye apparently forgot to pattern the center front part of the top piece and the point at the bottom of the center front, also alignment point 6 on piece A didn't come close to alignment mark 6 on piece B.
There was no way to know why the pattern was incorrect but once I filled in the gaps I could begin to see Savoye's one-of-a-kind corset.
Viewed from the side, the center back had an extremely sharp angle at the waist, but this version was paper on wood, not fabric on a person, so I wasn't terribly discouraged.
Patent applicants did not have to prove that their inventions worked, only that they were new and unique, so Savoye did not have to present the Patent Office with a finished corset, just the schematics for his design. It's not surprising that a civil servant at Patent Office didn't notice that the pattern was off, but it is surprising that Savoye didn't catch the mistake himself. He was more than just a guy with some new ideas about foundation garments, after all: he was an very experienced corset maker. His company, Savoye-Deglaire et Fils, was founded in 1866, and although his shop was in Paris, privileged ladies in the United States could purchase his corsets under the Pansy, and later the Fasso, name.
In 1886 department store B. Altman & Co. announced they were the exclusive importer of the "Fasso corset, for many years sold as the Pansy." In 1888 B. Altman named the Fasso brand corset manufacturer as "the celebrated Paris maker, Savoye-Deglaire," and the Savoye-Deglaire trademark is so important that it is shown twice in this ad.
The same mark is used 17 years later in a 1905 Savoye-Deglaire et Fils advertisement placed in Dessous Elegants.
By the time Savoye submitted the application for his 1904 design he was a member of the Chambre Syndicale de Corsets et Fournitures, and in 1905 he served as secretary of that organization, so he knew his stuff.
To verify that Emile Savoye the patent holder was the same man who owned Savoye-Deglaire corsets I checked the address listed on the patents against the address of the shop in the 1905 advertisement. They were the same, 35 Rue de Caire, Paris. I was in good hands, and I was confident that Savoye's design would work.
I enlarged the diagram on a copy machine until it filled a single page.
Then I enlarged piece C so it filled a page, and continued enlarging with the goal of getting the piece to fit more or less over my hip.
I wrote down the enlargement percentages each time and enlarged the other two pieces the same way.
I had no idea what size corset this workable pattern would make and was pleased with how well the mock up fit.
It was too long above the bust, there was excess fabric at the top center back, and the hips were loose, but clearly the pattern functioned.
I pinned the excess fabric away.
Sure, the fabric was now snug against my body, but it didn't look right. I'd lost the pleasing proportions of Savoy's design. It occurred to me that I was not working with the pattern as Savoye intended.
I shouldn't be lopping off excess length and making huge darts. I needed to alter the fit by working with the two seams that wrapped around the body. Also, eyeballing the missing part of piece A got me this far, but I had to be more precise. Currently the bust was pressed flat and pushed up and I imagined if I cinched a corset built like the mock up I'd look as though I were wearing 18thcentury stays. Not exactly an Edwardian silhouette.
To fill in the blank part of piece A accurately, I studied the drawings from another Savoy patent. In 1905 he submitted an application for two more corset designs, both of which have a center front piece that reaches all the way around the body to the center back. While both of the corsets illustrated have a straight front, like the 1904 design, the center front cutting line of the pattern is not cut perfectly straight. It angles out slightly above the waistline.
Using the top edge as a guide I overlaid the 1904 and 1905 illustrations and filled in the lost part of the center front. Then I cut the pieces out, connected pieces A and B at the front, and lined them up along the center front line of the 1905 pattern to make certain I had the right angle for the center front. Yep. The grainline was established by drawing a grid on the pattern lining up the letter A on piece A and the word Fig. 3, which were on the same horizontal axis. I had the official pattern.
For the second mock up I changed the fit as Savoye suggested, by altering the contours of the horizontal seam lines. I knew the top edge had to drop down so I took in the seam between pieces A and B, referred to as line 4 on the patent. I removed 2" (5cm) from each piece at the center front, blending to nothing at the center back. This change would not only lower the top edge while maintaining the proportions, it should also make the top piece fit better by moving the larger expanse of fabric over the bust. I decided to change the length of the pieces "more or less" by moving the lacing strip over approximately the same amount as the excess fabric I had pinned away from pieces A and C during the first fitting.
What a difference! Changing the angle of center front line provided more fabric at the bust, where it was desperately needed. Adding one extra bone to each side of the mock up kept the fabric from pinching at the waist, giving a nice curve instead of a sharp angle. With the excess fabric of the hip panel removed at the center back, instead of taking it out of the darts, the fabric draped beautifully across the hip.
The hip pieces were long, and the center dart was placed more to the back than to the side so something was off there, but I was sure it was solvable.
The biggest surprise was the difference in posture. In the first mock up I have my usual pelvis-tilted-forward slouch but my back is definitely straighter with the second. I couldn't believe it, Savoye's three pieces really were adding up to the classic Edwardian silhouette.
Line 71 of the patent explains the edge "is preferably very convex toward the bottom, so as to run down the sides of the person in order that the piece C shall cover the hip."
Savoye's illustration does not show the corset on a figure, but the hip panels clearly do not run so far down the body that it looks as though the wearer is wearing shorts, the way my second mock-up did. The lowest point at the side hip is roughly level with the low point of the center front.
Two Pansy Corset ads from 1904 helped determine the hip panel length. The first, from March of that year (left), presents a corset described as "medium length over the hips." The second, from November (right), shows a corset cut similarly to the 1904 patent design with the hips covered but the bottom edge reaching only to the top of the leg.
If the shorter of the two was considered medium then the longer, but not excessively long, must be full coverage, which is what I believe Savoye intended with patent design 786,685.
The cover of the August 1905 edition of Dessous Elegants features a corset cut just like Savoye's design, three pieces, the point at the bottom center rising up then dipping back down to give full coverage over the hips, but not covering the thighs.
The darts were brought into proper position by removing the fabric from the front of the hip piece C instead of the center back. I removed over an inch from the center front, blending the new line to the point where the seam hit the waistline.
After one more fitting to fine-tune the shape of the top and bottom edges, the Savoye 1904 was ready to be constructed.
Now that it was time to choose the fabrics for the finished corset, I let the master's work be my guide.
Savoye's corsets were very high-end. An 1895 advertisement shows Fasso corsets costing between $6.00 and $12.00 which compares to those made in the USA running between 50¢ and $2.50.
That same year, when Consuelo Vanderbilt married Charles Spencer Churchill 9th Duke of Marlborough, she wore a Fasso corset under her gown. It was made with white carnation patterned satin brocade, Valenciennes lace, and had solid gold busk clasps. Even from the rough black and white drawing of the corset, one can tell that it must have been a lovely foundation garment.
The price of a Pansy Corset in 1904 ranged from $6.00 to $28.00. That translates to $300 to $4,240 today.
I wanted to hint at the rarified world of Savoye's clientele, and since Savoye said his design could achieve an "agreeable appearance by means of seam lines alone" I wanted to focus attention on those seam lines. A solidly colored silk dupioni with contrast satin piping at the seams would satisfy both requirements.
Savoye gave no specifications regarding boning placement for this design, but on January 25, 1904, just 11 days after he filed the patent application for the three piece corset, he submitted another application relating to the "whaleboning of corsets."
He states that bones were normally "arranged in an arbitrary manner…from top to bottom of the corset." His improvement is to arrange the bones "in a rational and economic manner" using shorted bones placed only over the waist, leaving the upper and lower parts of the corset pliable. This arrangement means bones are less likely to break "especially when what are called "spring-steel" whalebones are used." In order to maintain the form of the upper part of the corset "without rendering it stiff" he uses ribbons running around the bust section that can be tied in the front.
This is an interesting idea, but it's easy to envision the bust collapsing when the fabric is not held taut by bones running vertically, and I don't want horizontal ribbons competing with the curved seam lines of this corset.
In the application for the 1905 corset designs he refers to his patented method of bone placement but extends the length of every other bone above the waist to top edge "to bear up the said piece and keep it stretched." This system of alternating shorter bones with longer ones is what I decided to use.
Regarding busk length, line 86 of the patent application explains, "the busks extend over the whole height of the front or only over the interior part of the front." The illustration for the boning patent shows the busk in only the lower and middle parts of the corset, it does not extend into the upper bust part. The tension put on fabric when a corset is laced can cause the top half inch or so that isn't supported by the busk to pull and gap at the center front. I do not want to see what happens when the busk stops two or three inches short of the top edge. Since Savoye gave me an option of busk lengths I chose to have the busk running the entire length of the center front.
This corset was relatively simple to construct. I fused cotton batiste to the silk with Wonder Under then cut the pieces. The piping was basted along the stitching line before the pieces were pinned together. With curved seams like this, it helps to remember that the edges of the seam allowances will not line up since one is convex and its edge has a longer distance to travel than the edge of the one that's concave, but the stitching line will match up and that is what matters. The seams were all flat felled, which made them both neatly finished and strong.
Bone casings were sewn on the interior of the corset. Inserting the busk and the bones by the lacing took a bit more finessing than usual since neither was cut on a straight line, but neither were a terrible struggle. I finished the top edge with Cluny lace and a satin ribbon.
I was wary before trying on this corset. I'd worked with dupioni in the past with great results, but I'd used quilter's basting spray to hold it to another fabric, Wonder Under was different. There was no repositioning, no give for turn-of-the-cloth, and as I worked with it sections bubbled unattractively. It also killed the grain and drape of the fabric.
With just three pieces that wrap around the body, the bias grain is important to this corset and it no longer existed.
The fit of the hips had completely changed from the mock up to the final and the only thing I did differently was use different fabric.
With no give, the fabric rode up and wrinkled over the hips. Not pretty. Garters would have helped tug the corset down and eliminate some of that, but they would not make the darts less square. Even with flaws there was still a lot to like about this corset. It created a nice taper from shoulder to waist and the seam lines were lovely. The shaping seen from the side and back was definitely S-bend.
As is so often the case, actually sitting down and making the corset taught me so much more than thinking about making the corset. Working with the strange pattern shapes forced me to work with a pattern in a new way. Once I stopped forcing my ideas on Savoye's pattern and started listening to what he was telling me in the description, the design worked. It is amazing that those odd curved pieces could make such a strong silhouette.
I'll make this corset again out of different fabric because if I can get anywhere near the shape of the mock-up I'll have a knock out of a corset. All of Savoye's designs are unique and the success of this pattern leads me to believe that the others will be equally rewarding to work with.

Now I`m thinking along with Scott that this is yet another false flag...to distract and also to heap more coals on the fire the globalists have been burning to get rid of guns in Amerika. Additionally, there are a lot more real events going on that need to be kept below the radar. The USrael proxies in Syria are getting their @$$es whupped and the Syrian army has ``rebels`` (aka foreign mercenaries) surrounded (remember the `cauldrons`of eastern Ukraine) and the only supply line to the rebels has been cut. The US has apparently just moved its jets out of Syria to Iraq.
But nowhere in the JM$M is it being reported....with the exception of RT...that Comey is appearing and testifying live before the US Senate. This is a dead givaway. Keep your eyes on the bouncing ball, folks. There is a lot going on and much of it distraction. Just checking the headlines again....I see that there is talk that Hillary is ineligible to be president because she won`t be able to get security clearances anymore. SHOCK!

Vastavam web: The Indian women's hockey team continued its splendid run and came up with an over-all performance to stun defending champions Japan 4-2 in the semi-final of the Asia Cup hockey tournament, here today.Goals from Gurjit Kaur (7th, 9th minutes), Navjot Kaur (9th) and Lalremsiami (38th) ensured India's entry into Sunday's final where they will face China.Against Japan, the Indians got off to a rollicking start by earning back-to-back penalty corners to put pressure on the host nation.
Dragflicker Gurjit Kaur gave India a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute when she improvised the injection to send the ball past Japanese goalkeeper Akio Tanaka.India won another penalty corner in the first quarter but this time Tanaka made a fine save.While the first 15 minutes belonged to India, the defending champions made a strong comeback in the second quarter.Japan unleashed a well coordinated attack on the Indian defence and found space for Shiho Tsujii to score past Indian custodian Savita in the 17th minute.From there on, the Indians were needed to play cautiously and not make impulsive decisions. This was exactly what they did after the 10-minute break at halftime.
While Savita made a brilliant save to deny Japan from a penalty corner at the start of the third quarter, Lalremsiami scored a sensational field goal in the 38th minute to extend India's lead to 4-2.

Gentleman's Quarterly and Phil Robertson Revisited
Yesterday most of you know that I wrote a blog about the insane madness surrounding an interview with Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson. If you recall I also stated that I had many friends in the gay community who were supporting Phil's interview who understood even though GLADD chose not to that Phil was only stating his opinion and not "gay bashing". Well today I have read the entire interview, watched the representative from GLADD who started this insanity and talked to my very best friend who was also a character in my book The Pink Canary. Some of you may have known him as the character Penelope. His real name is Peter Fondura and yes I have his permission to write this blog. So with that being said let me just start by saying if one reads the entire article and not just pick and choose those things which meet with their agenda – yes GLADD I am talking about you- then one will see that Phil was not mean spirited nor was he ugly. He is just a true southern redneck albeit a very educated one who when asked a question answers it to his ability. He does not sugar coat his answers with platitudes and sweetness what you see is what you get. Unlike the minions in Washington and those like GLADD who have their own agenda and are proficient in double speak. With southerners like myself one always knows where one stands on issues. So if you don't want to do not ask.
Okay now that we are straight on the lingo let me continue with the meat of the matter. The interview which by the way is Titled "What The Duck?" that in itself could be considered insulting because it is one of the double innuendos used in this article. The article written by Drew Magary appears on the surface to be genuine in that he appears to really want to understand the southern culture and the faith of this family. However, if one reads between the lines it is full of sarcasm and baiting. He wants to believe that Phil is not as smart as he is, that he is just an ignorant backwoods redneck with a bigoted philosophy. He can't understand how this family lives off the land, loves their family and lives their faith.
Which not brings me to my next point. During this interviewhttp://www.gq.com/entertainment/television/201401/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson?currentPage=1 Mr. Magary appears to be agast at the hospitality afforded him at the Robertson's home. They did not treat him like he was big interviewer he was treated like one of the family yes that is again southern hospitality. What did he expect? He had already assumed they were redneck uneducated backwoods gun toting, Bible Thumping men so why change the prospective. MR. Magary intentionally asked the question "What do you think is sin?" Again when someone asks a southerner a question be prepared for an answer and yes it will be mind jolting it is just part of our culture. Then when he had the nerve to ask about, how did he put it oh yes "growing up in the pre- civil rights era" Phil told him what he encountered – and now the left wants to nail him to the cross for that one. Well again, Phil was very honest- he was "poor white trash" and he worked and lived along side of the blacks in his area. They lived together, prayed together, laughed together, worshiped together and cried and sang together. Sorry Mr. Magary he couldn't lie and tell you he saw anyone being mistreated. You see all of them including Phil's family was trying to just survive they all worked those cotton fields just to get by. So before the NAACP and the REV up REVs get their panties in a wad- he didn't say anything against blacks.
Okay moving on to the thing with GLADD- maybe they should change their name to something else. Another story for another time. This is where my friend Peter aka Penelope comes into the big picture. You see my friends he is gay and has been in a relationship for a long long time. He is one of those rare people who is comfortable being who he is. He doesn't need GLADD or any of those other limp minded organizations to vilify him. We had a conversation this morning about this whole thing and this is what he said,
" I have nothing against Duck Dynasty.My nephew turned me on too them.
I'm offended by Homosexuals too Lol"
" I've been quiet about this because I just think it's silly.I don't see the big fuss over it.
I wasn't offended one bit.He has his opinion.He never once said he hated gays.People need to get over it!!!"
This is just a few of the statements he made. The people in gay community who are comfortable in who they are do not need GLADD to hold their hand or speak out on their behalf. They have it covered. They are okay. Sadly the representative who spoke with Megan Kelly last night from GLADD apparently is not comfortable in his skin. His body language said it all.
So let us recap the bottom line comes down to this. Anyone who dares answer questions in an honest way- who has an opinion that goes against all the special interest groups the seek to sow discord, lives a life they feel is faithful to their God, loves their family, loves to live off the land (by the way where do you think you get your roast duck from) and loves humanity without conditions should be nailed to the cross for their beliefs.
There is something seriously wrong with this picture. I leave it for you to decide what it is.
Baiting Sells Newspapers and Magazines!
Ever since I first heard about the GQ article and the interview with one of America's most loved icons I have been reading what others have said including the gay community and thinking about how I would write this blog. I have arrived at a couple of conclusions. First let me say, I am a Christian I believe in God, the Bible and all that goes with it. I have faith in those things which I can not see. I also believe in our rights and one of those rights is the ability to state our opinion when asked. While it may not always be the "popular" opinion we are entitled to those opinions. That being said let me give you my take on this for what it is worth.
First and foremost, those who are in the gay community (and I have many friends who are of that persuasion) and are comfortable in their skin have stood behind Phil and his statement. They understood that he was expressing his belief and his faith. They understand that under the rights we enjoy he can do that and should not be persecuted for it.
They also understand that if he is censored for his belief then they also stand the same chance of being censored in their lifestyle and opinions.
Second,As a nation we have become jaded on so many levels. We hold Miley Cyrus up as a fine example of how our girls should behave then wonder what happens when she gets raped or worse and yet we condemn a man who has no problem stating out loud his faith and his beliefs. We allow soft porn to be shown in prime time when our children are watching TV and that is okay. Disney is allowed to use innuendos in their movies in order to make it more interesting for the adults who have to carry their kids to the movies in order to sell tickets.
There are very few if any shows or movies now made that doesn't feel that in order to make the said film more powerful that explicit sex scenes have to be shown even if it has nothing at all to do with the plot. The young entertainers in the music industry feel they have to be undressed and gyrate all over each other in order to perform. IF they really believed in the talent they say they have this would not be part of the act.
We allow and encourage our comedians to use language that is like running fingernails down a chalkboard.
All of these things we accept without question, in fact we pay good money to go see them and if we are told that we could no longer have these icons, there would be hell to pay. Boycotts, articles in the papers and magazine, breaking news reports, lawsuits, and a number of other outrages.
However, when it comes to a man who speaks up for what he believes these same people are the first ones to nail him to a cross. We as a nation have become so jaded and so intolerant that we have forgotten that each and every one of us is entitled to our belief, no matter what that belief is. We are entitled to voice that belief especially when we are asked about that belief. I have lived by a mantra most of my life, "If you don't want to know then don't ask." The reason is you might now want to hear what I have to say.
Everyone who has ever watched the Duck Dynasty knows where this family stands, they understand that they have certain beliefs and faiths. Those who have never watched it or are jealous of the success of this family will never understand that premise. GQ(Gentlemen's Quarterly) will never get it. Neither will those who have closed minds and narrowed beliefs. Those who are not comfortable in their own beliefs and faiths and those who are always looking to tear down others because they are not comfortable in those beliefs and faiths.
A&E is one of those in the latter category. They have always known how this family feels. They have known since day one. To pretend righteous indignation now is hypocritical at best and stupid at worst. If this had been a Miley Cyrus article and she had made or done anything like swinging naked on a ball they would have built a show around it. Again we have become jaded.
My last point in this episode of How Stupid are We is this, if you do not like to watch Duck Dynasty turn the channel, if you are offended grow a pair- That is what my brother who is challenged had to do many many years ago when he was called Retarded by a neighbor hood boy. Yes, he is retarded and no I will not be politically correct. That is what he is. He knows it our family knows it in fact the entire world knows it. That being said, when some idiot person decides to use that term he looks at them like they have two heads. The reason he knows it is only words and those words can not effect who he is. That is a warm loving – kind successful man.
AS for the A&E channel- you are the losers. You who knew about this family before you ever wanted them to do a show, you who became a byword and a must watch channel because of this family. Shame on you! Shame on you for being so narrow minded – blind and so stupid that you would not back the very hand that feeds you. Instead of driving a wedge because of your actions you have united two different sides of the fence. You have done what many have said could not be done.
Unless Phil is brought back and unless a apology is given to that family I and my house will not be watching anything on A&E again. Oh and by the way the Bonnie and Clyde movie was not even worth watching. Poorly done in script and acting. But that review is for another day and time.
One final thought- no matter your faith, not matter your belief never be afraid to speak out. Do not hide your light under a bushel for when you do – pretty soon it will go out.

Sea Island real estate isn't all about sea breezes and ocean views.
There are private, gated communities that overlook the area's many interconnected lakes and marshes too. One area in particular is known as the Sea Island Lake Cottages.
Positioned close to the iconic Sea Island resort, it features Old World style town homes with lake and marsh views. Many of them were designed by noted architect, Addison Mizner.
Known to favor Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean Revival sensibilities, his unique style is found all over St. Simons and Sea Island. And that includes the gated community of Sea Island Lakes.
Townhouses there tend to feature stucco block exteriors with tile roofs although some homes also make structural use of clay, marble, iron and hand-hewn, wooden beams. The well-appointed interiors boast amenities both classic and modern, like fireplaces and state-of-the-art security systems too.
There are also outdoor amenities to enjoy. Among them are screened terraces, a community pool, paved bicycle paths, a conveniently located postal center and a neighborhood market. The neighborhood market typically carries everything from gourmet foods and high-end coffees to freshly cut, seasonal bouquets of flowers.
Golfing, tennis, fine dining, clay shooting and other diversions are also located nearby.
Considered part of Glynn County, students living in the area often attend Oglethorpe Elementary, Glynn Middle and Glynn Academy High School before moving on to the College of Coastal Georgia in nearby Brunswick. However, as we mentioned in an earlier post, there are private schools located in the surrounding area as well. As such, some parents choose those schools or homeschooling for their children.
To learn more about the pleasures and conveniences that come from living in the gated community of Sea Island Lake Cottages, please contact DeLoach Sotheby's International Realty Sea Island real estate agents. They currently have properties for sale or rent in the causeway area that they can show you right away.

This weeks theme for The Gallery over at Tara Cain's Sticky Fingers Blog is A Celebration.
Well, this one's easy for me, as I just got married in March this year. I suspect there will be a lot of wedding entries to the Gallery this week!
We will have been married for 6 months this Saturday. Time has definately flown! It was a very lovely, sunny (if a little chilly) March day, and looking through our pictures has brought back so many wonderful memories. We are so glad that all our family and friends were there for us. If I could go back in time to our wedding day, I wouldn't change a thing about it!
All of our photo's were amazing, and I would love to share them all with you, but you'd be here for days! It's so hard to choose which ones we liked the best, but here are some of our favourites from our big day.

- Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best. John C. Maxwell
Have a Happy Marriage
Be fair, you are not always correct
Be fair with your self and partner and have always in your mind that you are not always correct. You may be sometimes wrong in your decisions and thoughts. It is a fact that when two people disagree, the truth is somewhere in the middle. And when two people separate then certainly the blame is in both. If from time to time we forget the middle ground and we do not compromise then this will create severe problems to our marriage.
The marriage principle in this case is to compromise and accept the fact that you are making mistakes and sometimes exaggerating more than needed.
Do not promise anything you cannot do
If the marriage was based on our many promises, but these promises were never made into reality, it is perfectly logical to be full of frustration and anger. The words and promises are made too easily when we love and when things go well. But when you get into a difficult situation things change. This is the time to stop the unreal promises and start making actions.
Everybody makes mistakes
Accept the simple principle, that all people make mistakes. The mistake is part of human nature and we should be able to forgive and look to the future. If we rehash the mistakes, and if in any disagreement we mention one hundred other reasons we should in the past being angry with our partner, then this will kill our soul and will fill it with anger and bad memories.
Respect to be respected
Perhaps while we promised respect, eternal love and devotion, we do not follow this oath? Maybe we did not understand that the marriage is a commitment to life and we must respect and honour the person with whom we connected our lives. Showing lack of respect to our partner, whether occasional or on a permanent basis, is perhaps the biggest mistake that we do. When respect is not mutual in a marriage then it is more likely that marriage will end up in a disaster.
Show your interest to your partner
Marriage is like a flower that wants watering every day or else I will be destroyed. So we must not rest on the fact that now that we are married we should not show any interest in our partner but let things as they come. It takes a lot of trouble and struggle to maintain quality and a genuine relationship. We need every day to show our interest in our partner not only in words but also in deeds.

How Does Sun Exposure Affect the Skin? in Boca Raton, FL
At Sanctuary Medical Center, our providers can assist patients in achieving beautiful, healthy skin. When doctor and patient work together to develop a skin care routine, they need to take into account how much time a patient spends in the outdoors. Too much exposure to UVA and UVB rays from the sun can have grave consequences.
What can happen with too much sun exposure?
There are many concerns that can occur due to routine and continued sun exposure. They include:
- Sunburn/sun spots – pigmentation issues are one of several issues that can be caused by sun exposure. Continued exposure to UVA and UVB rays can cause long-term sun spots, which are areas of pigmentation that become more permanent. The immediate result of too much sun without skin protection is sunburn, which many of us have dealt with at one time or another in our lifetime. This often happens during the middle part of the day, when the sun's rays are the strongest. Without sun protection, the skin is vulnerable to sunburn, which can become dangerous!
- Aging – excessive sun exposure can also contribute to aging skin. The UVA and UVB rays can cause skin to age faster than ever! By protecting the skin when outdoors, patients can maintain their youthful appearance for as long as possible, and avoid advancing aging skin.
- Skin cancer – the most serious consequence of continued sun exposure is the development of skin cancer. There are various types of skin cancer that can develop, but melanoma is the most serious and deadly. Patients should always visit a medical professional at least once a year for a full body skin cancer screening. These screenings can help detect, diagnose, and treat skin cancer in the earliest stages for the most positive outcome.
Are you ready to learn more about taking care of your skin?
Contact the team of Sanctuary Medical Center in Boca Raton, FL to discuss your needs. Our team of professionals, including a wide variety of providers, can assist new and existing patients with developing skin care routines that meet their needs—and their lifestyle!

The early history of this coach is uncertain. The body was found at Dymchurch, where it was in use as a storage shed, in 1976. It was reported to have been moved there from Ashford in 1902 though it is now thought to have been moved there later, perhaps much later. The carriage compartments are of the right number and size for 1st Class and it fits the general description of a batch of District Railway coaches built by the Ashbury Railway Carriage and Iron Company Ltd in 1884, which included some four-compartment first class examples. However there is a mystery about its number, The body was numbered 100 for that number and the class were found painted on the doors in gold leaf, whilst the number was found stamped on some door fittings. However limited evidence of the District Railways' numbering practice points to separate numbering for each class of carriage and there were never as many as 100 1st class carriages.
The restored body was mounted on a cut down underframe (from PMV No. 1225 built at Ashford in 1936) and ran for the first time in August 1980. The restoration was a pioneering effort to resurrect a Victorian carriage, an example later to be followed both here at the K&ESR and elsewhere. The interior was however a restoration of the most basic kind and the carriage ran for much of its life labelled as 3rd Class. At first it was finished in an authentic vanished livery but this proved of poor durability and a brown livery was later used which was, inaccurately, thought to be the colour which District Railway coaches latterly carried in service.
The Carriage is the only surviving one from the steam era (1868-1905) of the Metropolitan District Railway. It was therefore decided that for its latest overhaul the carriage would be restored as a 1st class carriage of the 1880's, complete with light fittings and full upholstery. A contemporary sketch of the interior was found together with specifications of the seat and lining colours, and patterns for hat rack brackets located and made. Parts were sourced and replicated with internal light fittings produced and fitted (Pitsch style gas light fittings with LED lights) with replica dummy external light fittings manufactured. Self closing door locks to appropriate 1880's pattern with associated door fittings were also made and fitted. It was returned to service in late 2018.

- The first stage of vulnerability assessment and economic valuation of priority measures corresponds to the enactment of this Special Program in the 2009–2012 period, the main result of which will be the design of an integrated program of adaptation, executed progressively.
- The second stage, strengthening strategic, large-scale adaptation capacities, from 2013 to 2030, includes as priorities: attaining equilibrium between degradation/deforestation and restoration/reforestation; the adoption and implementation of sustainable agriculture and livestock production systems; the eradication of measures that encourage environmental degradation and cause GHG emissions; the implementation of relocation programs for human settlements and infrastructure in high risk areas, and the implementation of policies aimed at climate stability and sustainable development.
- The third stage, The consolidation stage, between 2030 and 2050, will result in attaining a positive balance between reforestation and deforestation, development options that ensure environmental sustainability, and a strengthened national planning system based on criteria to decarbonizes the economy and minimize vulnerability to climate change.

After publicly thanking the people of Balochistan and Gilgit in his speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on 15th August, PM Modi yet again, dealt another severe blow on Pakistan today. The PMO announced that the citizens of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) are eligible to apply for the schemes provided by the Government of India. In an unprecedented move, Shri Jitendra Singh (Minister of state for PMO) asserted that people residing in the PoK are Indian citizens as according to the Constitution of India entire Kashmir belongs to India. He said that they (residents of PoK) are eligible for all the compensation schemes available to the people of Kashmir and are allowed to apply for all the schemes of Government of India.
This statement from PMO was issued after the cabinet meeting where the compensation for civilian terror victims was increased from Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh under the scheme titled "Central Scheme for Assistance to Civilian Victims of Terrorist/ Communal/Left Wing Extremist (LWE), Cross Border Firing and Mine/IED blasts on Indian Territory". The next kin of any civilian throughout the country who dies in the cross-firing or IED/Mine blast will be eligible for the compensation. A key feature of the compensation scheme that was approved today allows full compensation to anyone with 50% or more disability arising as a result of any terrorist attack.
In last few years, there has been a widespread dissent among the people of PoK against the Pakistani establishment. Last month, there was a massive protest in PoK against the government of Pakistan. The protests against the atrocities of Pakistan army and against Pakistan government have increased manifolds since last few years. A large group of persons residing in PoK have also been raising slogans in praise of India and Indian government. Similarly, the people of Balochistan have been long oppressed by the Pakistan Army and the government, which deny the Balochistani basic necessities of life and oppress them. After PM Modi raised the Balochistan issue publicly, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and many other countries supported PM Modi. Recently, the USA and western countries have questioned Pakistan on the human rights violation in Balochistan.
The statement comes at a time when Pakistan has been pushed to the corner by the policies of Government of India. This has resulted in the USA ending its USD 300 million aid to the Pakistan military and calling off of the F-16 deal at subsidized price. Also, the international community is putting immense pressure on Pakistan and come clean on state-sponsored terrorist organisations operating from its land. Allowing PoK citizens to apply for compensations provided by the Government of India is a very strong statement from the Prime Minister of India. It implies that the government has taken Pakistan head on and is not going to compromise on the issue of Kashmir. The statement gives an indication that the position of the Modi government on Kashmir is very clear. Kashmir, in its entirety, belongs to India and there will be no compromise whatsoever. Pakistan understands only one language – and that language is dealing with iron hands – exactly what PM Shri Narendra Modi is doing. It might be "achhe din" for India, but for Pakistan the ominous signs of "burey din" are evident.

It seems that insurance can be purchased for almost any possible device or eventual event. In the news, celebrities assure the body parts that they are known for, while the latest game consoles, computers, and even watches are subject to extended warranty agreements, designed to allow the buyer to share even more of their earned money.
Celebrities who insure their bodies or the sum of their parts are nothing new. In fact, celebrity insurance can be traced back to the 1920s when the translucent silent movie star Ben Turpin ensured 20,000 against them crushed. Other famous celebrity insurance includes Marlene Dietrichs 1 million insurance of her voice, Dolly Partons 600 000 breast insurance and Ken Dodds 4 million to his teeth Bette Davis even insured against weight gain of 28,000. but all this pales in comparison to the Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatleys 25 million insurance of his leg
But for the vast majority of people there is a need for such extravagant insurance coverage, but there are still many types of insurance available, making it difficult to know what is necessary and what is not.
When you try to investigate what insurance you need, its a good idea to start with those required by law. For the public, only car insurance is a legal requirement for drivers in the UK. So if you are planning to get to the open road, or is it already on it, then car insurance is not just a choice but a necessity. You can expect to get big fines, and even imprisonment if you get driving without car insurance. In addition, car insurance is required when taxing your vehicle.
While home insurance is not a legal requirement, many mortgage loans will require you to have building insurance before they will consider any home loan. But just because its not a legal requirement does not mean its unnecessary. Home insurance is available as two separate products building insurance and content insurance and each can be purchased separately, although most insurers now offer discounts when both are bought together. As the name suggests, building insurance protects the houses structural elements, while content insurance protects your belongings.
If you travel regularly, travel insurance may be a replacement. Although it is not a legal requirement, it can cover all costs incurred during the trip, especially outside of the UK, where you would be expected to pay for any treatment you receive in an accident. In addition, travel insurance can help ease the loss of your luggage, flight delays or if you lose your currency or credit card. There are many travel insurance available from family tires on a single trip to annual policies covering unlimited travel, while special policies are also available for things not covered by normal agreements, such as ski equipment.
How would your family do if you would ever be involved in an accident that would prevent you from working, or worse, killing you? A life insurance policy can insure these events by paying a lump sum, which can help ward off any financial difficulties. Life insurance is often linked to a mortgage because it is usually the biggest expense that a family will need to deal with, and even though singles and couples without children may not need life insurance, it should be considered by families with children.
If you have pets, pet insurance can be an idea. Given that veterinary treatment can cost more than 1,000 to repair a dogs broken bones, animal insurance can help alleviate the financial burden associated with treating sick or injured family animals.
But while there are no doubt there are insurance that takes into account there are also those who many can safely live without For example, while many people grab and murmuring about NHS waiting lists, the fact is that the case is paid for NHS with public taxes and the treatment is free. In view of the large waiting list for treatment, there is now a market for private health insurance that can be used to circumvent the NHS queues and get treatment faster. But private health insurance can be expensive, and not every disease is covered.
Consumer goods have not been avoided from the insurance supplement, and now everything from clocks to mobile phones can be insured against loss or damage. But in many cases the insurance can cost you almost as much as the cost of buying the item in the first place In addition, most of the items are likely to be covered by a good home insurance. However, there may be some precautions, such as businessmens tools or musical instruments that can benefit from a specialized policy, so be sure to check with di

Thesis of Arthur Gatouillat
The rapid growth of fixed and mobile communicating objects raises the issue of their integration in everyday environment, e.g. in a e-health or home-automation context. The main challenges of these objects are the interoperability and the handling of the massive amount of data that they generate. Our objective is to develop an open, interoperable machine to machine framework maintaining the recently elaborated standards. This framework will allow the realization of services based upon connected devices. To insure the efficient development of that framework, an abstract model of connected objects needs to be specified, along with the elaboration of a formal algebra describing the composition of the connected devices, the handling of the important amount of data they will generate and finally it is of major importance to understand and model their cyber-physical proprieties. In order to complete the development successfully, three research directions will be followed: the specification of a connected device model based on its cyber-physical properties along with a service composition algebra; being able to insure a smart self-adaptation in a changing context allowing the connected devices to reason about themselves, the handling of the events flow, which requires the definition of an event model to make the objects interoperable; and finally the definition of a declarative language allowing the detection of significant events in the massive generated data. The testing of these contribution will be realized through the development and the large scale experimentation of a remote monitoring and diagnostics service based on the mass collection of medical data with non invasive embedded biomedical sensors network.

There is currently no cure for AMD. Despite the advent of improved screening tools, which permit diagnosis to be made much earlier in the disease process, treatment options for AMD are limited.
Depending on the type of AMD, treatment options can aim to preserve vision for as long as possible, and in somecases may potentially provide vision improvement:
2RT™ Retinal Rejuvenation is a, minimally invasive intervention for intermediate AMD. It is the first and only treatment of its kind in the world. It is performed in your ophthalmologist's clinic and typically takes no more than 10 minutes.
There are currently no treatments available to reverse the effects of dry AMD, although several are under development.
There are a number of drugs available to treat the blood vessels that grow abnormally into the retina and cause bleeding, leakage and scarring. Growth of these blood vessels is triggered by a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
Anti-VEGF antibodies are injected into the eye, blocking the growth of the abnormal blood vessels. Injections should start as soon as possible after the new blood vessels form, and are required on a regular, ongoing basis, possibly for life, in order to preserve vision.

- Chop the chocolate roughly and add to a saucepan with the milk and butter
- Heat gently until the chocolate and butter has melted
- Leave to cool. Make sure this is cooled before adding to the rest of the ingredients or you will cook the eggs
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl
- Add the milk and chocolate mixture, vanilla and eggs, and mix well
- Pour the batter into the cake tin, cover loosely with foil and bake for between an hour and an hour and a half. A skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for about 10 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack
While the cake is baking prepare your mousse and jelly
- Line a 20cm cake tin with cling film so that it comes right up the side of the tin. This works best if you use a springform cake tin.
- Dissolve the jelly crystals in 300ml of boiling water, pour into the plastic lined cake tin and put in the fridge to set
- Hull and rinse the strawberries and blitz in a blender until almost pureed
- Whip the cream until firm, then gently mix in the strawberries, icing sugar and mascarpone cheese. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar but be careful – the cake is quite sweet so don't over-sweeten the mousse.
- Dissolve the gelatine in the boiling water and fold quickly through the mousse
- Put in the fridge to set
Assemble the cake
- Make sure the cake is completely cold, and the mousse and jelly has set
- Put the cake on a flat surface and cut it down to about 3cm in height. Keep the rest of the cake to make cake popsicles or to smother with strawberry jam as an extra treat.
- Cover the top of the cake with the mousse
- Carefully remove the springform cake tin from the base. Loosen the jelly from the plastic at the sides. Line up the base of the cake tin with the edge of your cake and flip it over to drop the jelly onto the top of the mousse. Carefully lift the base and plastic away from the jelly.
- Use a spatula to ice the bottom half of the cake with strawberry flavoured butter icing

The problem, in Personas 2 at least, is the "all lines" bit. There's no way to build a loop in Personas 2 that can iterate over all the lines in a table to write to it. You can do this in Personas 3, but not in Personas 2.
The best you can do is unroll the loop - assume a maximum number of rows in the table and write code like:
if cell in row 1 exists
paste into row 1
if cell in row 2 exists
paste into row 2
if cell in row 3 exists
paste into row 3
It isn't pretty, but it should work if you pick a large enough number.
If the requisition might have more rows than fit on the screen at once, and so you have to scroll to get to a 2nd or 3rd screenful, this gets more complex, and I'm not sure I'd recommend it.
Again, Personas 3 can manage this. You don't have long to wait... :-)
Hi Steve,
Thanks a lot! I guess I was doing just one cell first why I did not see any script recorded. Later I did a nit more action filling more cells and I got the script recorded.
All in all it has to be a "static id" of the cell that cannot be variable. I have to apply the copy/paste to each specific cell with given row and column numbers.
Set to answered.

A brand new version of the main Songs page is open for business! The simplified layout brings all the focus to your songs, hiding both the filter sidebar and arrangement details until you expand them. The biggest new features are bulk editing, an improved filter bar that allows you to pin filters and change them on the fly, and a simplified Add Songs popup that allows searching popular recordings and adding more files. We've also consolidated all song-related settings, including integration setups, into the new page.
Focus on Songs
The table in the old layout had rows for each arrangement of a song. This allowed you to click on an arrangement name to go directly to its details. The new layout only shows you song names, but take you to the most recent arrangement you visited when you click. You can also expand any song and see its arrangements, or click the expand-all triangle at the top to see all arrangements.
The song row itself rolls up all the arrangement data, showing the low-high BPM of all its arrangements, or all the file types or keys available across all arrangements.
Pinned Filters
The filter bar is now interactive, making it much easier to change your filters and find songs with specific criteria. If you have a filter you always want applied, pin it, which turns it yellow, and it will be applied any time you come to the Songs page.
Use pinned filters with tags to open up the following possibilities:
- Add a Season Tag Group with tags for Christmas and other holidays, then choose None to exclude all seasonal songs the rest of the year.
- Add a new Tag Group called Library (or Ministry), with tags for multiple song libraries to easily switch between them.
- If different worship leaders have their own songs, add a "Leader" Tag Group to easily switch between leaders.
Improved Filters
The filters sidebar is now hidden until you click the Filter button, and they're organized into four sections – Music, Content, Tags, and History. There are two new filters, Song Creation Date and Copyright, but the improved filters are more noteworthy.
- The Lyrics filter now searches just the lyrics and excludes chords and performance notes that might be interspersed with lyrics to make a chord chart. Searching for "Amazing" will now work even if the original text is "A[G]maz-ing" as part of a chord chart.
- The "Service" filter has been improved to become "Last Scheduled Plan". In addition to seeing any songs planned in a Service Type, you can now scope that to specific dates.
- Tag filtering is much more flexible, allowing you to include or exclude tags using "WITH" and "NOT" sections for each tag.
Bulk Editing
You can now edit many songs or many arrangement at once. This is especially helpful if you decide you want to change how you tag your songs to better organize your library. Click the pencil in the results header and choose whether you want to bulk edit Songs or Arrangements.
If you choose Songs, a checkmark will appear to the left of all Songs. If you choose Arrangement, all songs will expand to reveal their arrangements, and each arrangement will have a checkbox. Make your selection by using the checkboxes, and then click the newly green edit pencil to set your Bulk Edit options.
Bulk Editing gives you options to
Add a Song: Search Popular Recordings
When you add a new song you can now search by Popular Recordings, which searches the RehearsalMix database. This allows you to choose a specific version of the song and even play a sample by clicking on the album artwork.
When you choose one of these recordings, the length, BPM, and other metadata are automatically set. You'll also have the option to add the associated RehearsalMix files on the next screen.
If you don't want to search by Popular Recordings, you can switch the tab to All Songs to use the CCLI search, and it will remember your preference in the future.
Add a Song: Simplified with Include Files
We've greatly simplified the process of adding a new song. We removed many of the detail-oriented fields like length and BPM, and we're now only showing Required Tags by default, with an Add Tag button if you'd like to add more. (You can still add all those things after the song is created.)
Removing those gave us room to add options for each of our song integrations. If you've enabled integrations with SongSelect, PraiseCharts, or RehearsalMix, and the song or arrangement you've chosen supports it, you'll be able to chose to import those files during the creation process.
There's also a checkbox to upload or link more files. If you choose that, when you click next, it will create the song in the background and take you immediately to the add file popup. That feature isn't that exciting here on the Songs page, but in the future when we start to use this same popup in plans or the Matrix, you'll be able to add a song, add all its files, and add it to your plan without leaving whatever screen you're on.
Improved Top Songs
We've long had the ability to view a list of the most popular songs planned across all churches for the next couple of weeks. We've made a few changes here as well, including moving it to the Add Song popup.
The actual Top Songs popup now shows you last week's Top Songs and allows searching results by title, theme, and now author or copyright, too. The Last Year column still shows you the difference in ranking compared to the same week last year, but we've made a minor adjustment to the actual rank when it comes to ties.
Previously, if two songs tied for 10, the next song would be 11, even though it was actually the 12th song in the list. The new ranking skips over numbers when there is a tie, ranking that next song 12.
Consolidated Integrations
And finally, we've brought all song-related integrations and settings into one place. The gear at the top of the page allows anyone to see the status of each integration, even if they don't have permission to edit it.
We hope these changes make it easier than ever for you to manage your song database!

Have you experienced a patriarchal or matriarchal culture?
The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See
Genre/Categories: Historical Fiction, South Korea, Women's Roles
*This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
You may have read The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, or Shanghai Girls by popular author Lisa See. In The Island of Sea Women, See imagines the story of Mi-ja and Young-sook. As the story begins, we are introduced to these two young girls living on the Korean Island of Jeju. Although the girls are best friends, they come from very different backgrounds. As the girls mature, they begin working in the sea with other women in the village as part of the diving collective (the haenyo). Even though diving is dangerous, the girls are eager to be allowed to join the women of the sea as they learn the trade and follow in the tradition of the other women in the village who are the sole providers for their families. In this matriarchal culture, the men stay home, cook, and assume primary care for the children. Women take on the responsibility for providing an income from selling the bounty of their diving expeditions. It's women who worry about the livelihood of their families and village, assume great physical risks, and take responsibility for knowing the best locations and times/conditions to dive. The sea women dive when they are pregnant and sometimes give birth on the boat as part of their workday if necessary. The story begins in the 1930s and continues through WW11, the Korean War, and the modern technology boom. Over the decades, circumstances put the girls' friendship under great strain and the story encompasses their entire lives. It's a story of a unique culture, friendship, understanding, community, and a dangerous and demanding profession.

Psychology provides a backdrop for most of the study of human-computer interaction. In this volume the psychological issues that pertain to programming, rather than systems design, are examined in four sections: theoretical and methodological issues, language design and skill acquisition, expert programming, and the future. This book was inspired by working groups in France and the United Kingdom, but also includes work by major North American figures (such as Curtis and Soloway). It is the first comprehensive work on this topic since the early 1980s.

Today John Carmack revealed at QuakeCon '08 that the "next Doom" -- which we'll call Doom 4, for now -- is in development and looking good. More inside.
Hopefully they wont have to compress the Xbox 360 version too much.
but he said it will look better than rage, but who knows
If he's saying Doom 4 will look better than Rage (he didn't actually say that BTW) then yeah they'll need to compress the 360 version EVEN MORE than what they're doing with Rage, obviously. But then it really just depends on how big Doom 4 will be in comparison to Rage. http://www.n4g.com/News-177...
Thank for the answer. I remember playing doom back in the days on the n64. I am looking forward to this game, it bring back memories from my childhood.
How about Mac?I got a blu ray equipped mac so Doom 4 could be on it,right?
and don`t forget, that on DVD you will have to DUBLICATE textures, sound and etc. on EVERY dvd. =)
Too bad a PS3 can not read a multi-layer BD =)
EDIT: I am talking about the 100GB BD which is 4 layers not 2.
The firmware update is not out yet, and it might not ever come out since they are only guessing that it will make existing drives compatible.
EDIT: Fine I was wrong =). To be fair I only guessed it wouldn't work.
EDIT: Ok so the PS3 maybe might be able to read a 100GB BD
"Hitachi, however, claims to have used a standard Blu-Ray drive optical head that's only slightly modified to allow it to read and write data across the four 25GB layers. It's believed this will only require a firmware update to make existing drives compatible."
You do know that a 50GB BR disk has more than one layer, right?
And uh, Whoops! As stated above you are wrong. PS3 reads quad layer.
Also Pioneer says the PS3 will read the 400GB BR disk if interference is controlled during manufacturing. That is based on prototype disks which means as they do more research it get's easier to increase the capacity of the disk. You know, the disc that crushed the house Toshiba built along with their idiot plumbers - Microsoft.
Some sites are saying it won't be compatible and then if you look they quote the Pioneer press release where they say it will in fact work.
"Since the optical specifications of the objective lens, such as NA (Numerical Aperture)*2, are the same as those for the existing BD discs, it is possible to maintain compatibility between the new 16-layer optical disc and the BD discs."
Since it's id Tech 5, and id Tech 5 is designed to be easily run on various platforms, I'm guessing Doom 4 is going to be on PC, PS3, 360, Mac, and possibly Linux.
Yeah well I'm sure whoever is researching the firmware to make the current drives compatible with quad-layer BDs aren't really crunching right now. Seeing as how there's not really a need for it yet. But once Blu-Ray's start becoming common in people's PCs, then we'll see a bigger push.
Right now, the biggest use for BD's is just movies and games.
Its s amazing just how far this game has come. From the crappy block graphics with square blood and the same groans and ughns when you press on a wall to this gens graphics and availability...insane I tell ya!
Well yes it may need to be compressed but isnt RAGE an openworld game? so it has a lot more to it then you would think DooM4 may need... so they may need to compress but it may yet still be on 1 disc... we will find out sooner or later... this is one im keeping an eye out for :)
It was pretty bad on consoles. It didn't work out. What annoyed me the most was the fact that you couldn't shoot and have your flashlight out at the same time. Online was pretty bad. I'm still puzzled as to why Doom 3 is popular.
I only played it on Xbox 1. PC version was probaly a lot better. I never played it on PC BTW.
Because every pc shooter, was touched by the hand of god.
...or so the legend goes...
Doom 3 was a really fun game in my opinion, but no, it was not special in any way.
doom 3 was an awesome game
very well constructed game
each level in doom3(while has similar environment) has a special feel to them,special pacing,weapon use,ammo,enemies,each level build up with you nicely(I love that style)
while I hate game design like halo,each level has the same enemies,health is rechargeable and few veachles here and there
only few weapons,you can only have two
developer today use that new design style,because it's easier to do
Doom 3 was ok. The random enemies that spawned up when you walk passed a certain area was pretty annoying though.
Doom 3 wasn't a bad game, it just wasn't an amazing game. It played like the old Dooms, but in 3D. It's fun if you don't take it too seriously.
i bought doom 3 for my pc, and it was alright. It just got boring really quick, the same with Quake 4. I will say that I liked D3 better than Q4 though.
who thinks the doom movie sucked?
"SEMPER FI Mother F**KER"- The rock /Facepalm
i thought the movie did a good job building the suspense and a sense of dread for the first hour; but, after that the plot just sucked.
the only part that was good in the movie was when they went into first person view. i though the whole movie was going to be like an FPS, but i was wrong.
the movie was a total let down
it was a disgrace for both doom and the rock
come fast
I want originality like doom
When they say "Will look better than RAGE", they only mean that for the 360. The PS3 is not capable of anything better than the RAGE engine. :)
the shocking news played with your mind , now your are just losing your sanity.
After learning the XBOX 2 'IS' a last gen console they try and put down PS3 once again to there crappy level.
I'm sorry Kid aka Xbox fan is your american ignorance hampering your ability to understand that one game is being held back the other most definitely will be less on XBOx 2 also?.... theres that XBox fan IQ for yea...
PS3 versions >>>> XBox 2 old-gen Versions.
Jealousy and Denial can be bad for u go see a doctor.
lol who didn't put this on the ps3 section?
"By the the time that DOOM 4 ships to consoles, PC will be light years ahead of current consoles. In this case, the PC version will support significant visual improvements over 360 or PS3 versions."
seriously , past 2010 , the 360 will go the way of the dodo.
I know my Dodos. Curse you bloody Dutchman,curse you.
I'm cautiously optimistic. Doom 3 wasn't terrible, but it was merely OK as a game. Stunning graphics, yes, but one of those important examples of how graphics can't make the game. However, if they get some sense and return to the style of the more ultra-violent "demons in space" theme of the original then we may have a winner on our hands. I don't need to be scared and poke around with my flashlight, I want to blast hell-hole loads of demons with my shotgun!
To be honest, I never saw this on coming, I thought ROE was it, hmm, this should, how do you say? -SIIIICK-
For Whoever hasnt caught on it yet, they are basicly doing a remake of the series... DooM3 was DooM1, Mars the demons come out of the gates it all starts to go to hell as you fight your way to and from hell... Now they have DooM4 coming which come on Hell on Earth! which is going to be sweet IMO... DooM4 should be the last unless they continue with Final DooM series..
I hope this Doom can get me back in the series.
I did like Doom64. :3
you are right doom 64 was actually the best of all doom games
I realy loved Doom 3 and its expansion packs....SOUL CUBE=#1 ultimate weapon in FPS history !!
D4 is on my top 5 most desired games to buy in 2009 !
Doom was one of the best games ever. This one will probable scare the sh1t out of me b/c with all the violence and surprises that the aliens do it freaks me out. And the adventure throughout the game will probable be one of the scariest adventures you'll ever go on.
All the other Doom games were fun and scared me half the time. So i can't wait for this game to come out and i'll invite some friends over for the night and play this game just to scare the sh1t out of them.
Doom 4 will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooot!!!!
"If he's saying Doom 4 will look better than Rage (he didn't actually say that BTW) then yeah they'll need to compress the 360 version EVEN MORE than what they're doing with Rage"
Second or third game to use the same engine is usually running on a refined version of the engine, which uses less resources, and uses them more effectively!
Last time I checked, the only thing Sony droids wanted anything to do with were games created by that master race they worship, you know...the one that lives in Japan!
that is where doom belongs and the pc is already more powerfull then any current gen console.
I want old school gameplay like the original DooM, but put into a next-generation graphics and physics engine. I want to mow down hordes of enemies!
Doom 3 was such a masterful experience on a high end PC. Doom 4 is my most anticipated game for this millennia (on a new highend PC with 8 gigs of ram, of course. not on some garbage console like 360 or PS3 with half a gig of RAM total LOL)
There are a ton of games I can't wait to play and now there are a ton + 1.
Can't wait to see what it looks like on the PS3.
Hope for quite a leap from Doom 3. Great graphics but rubbish everything else doesnt cut it for me.
i have the strange feeling that sony fanboys will be piss off with this game...mmmmmmm
Well i can't wait for this game and i hope thet release original Doom in XBLA
They already did release the original Doom on XBLA a few years back
First of all, you have no need to be making fanboyish comments like that, and second of all, if you're so up on things XBL you would know that DooM is already out on XBLA and has multiplayer.
Try again next time!
I'm probably going to get this for my PC so I can make mods. I might even make a Doom 4 machinima.
I have played every Doom game since the original in the early/mid 90s and I just recently went back and played Doom 3 on my 360 and I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the soul cube and the "use us ..." mantra when it was charged and ready to use. This sounded devilishly gratifying on a surround sound setup with the volume at a high level.
However, in my opinion, Doom64 was the very best version of Doom and was a big factor guiding me to buy a Wii. I was hoping for Doom64 to be released on Virtual Console - but alas so far I have been disappointed.
I am really looking forward to Doom 4 though.
He did say that Doom4 looks better then Rage when he said that since D4 is too heavy it only runs at 30 fps when Rage can do 60fps since it is "lighter" then D4.
This guys a true developer and engineer.
Always setting the bar and cutting a path and pushing hardware to a new level.
evey game he has made for the FPS gen has ben amazing and here he goes again!!!
This guy pushes the Tech!!!!
Doom 4 looks good.
It's another great multiplatform game on the way.
Expect this game somewhere in 2009.
hooray one of the most stupid games in history will come back again
