I've been going through my 'top of cupboard' boxes (amazing what's there) and have decided that my miscellaneous collection of 'spares' needs to be trimmed a bit, and as some have sat for at least 10 years I might as well clear them out. Before I put them on ebay I thought that I'd post here (these are my own items though - not stock!). I'm open to any reasonable offers as they are all sitting here doing nothing.
Canon Close-up lens 450 (approx 2.2 diopters) in excellent condition (not sure whether this is an achromat or not as I see conflicting comments on the web) and in its plastic box.
Hoya 72mm PL-CIR, 77mm PL-CIR and 72mm UV - all in clean condition
Lowepro small, hard carrying box for 4 x CF cards
3 x Nikon lens rear caps (2 are Nikon, 1 is Sigma)
2 x Olympus OM rear caps (1 is generic) and a 49mm OM lens front cap
I'm going to part with a Gitzo 1340V Tripod (originally a studio type which had the tabbed adjuster on the top leg section, but since modified with a 'standard' adjuster so more useful outside - tabbed adjusters are with it). Its a good solid but not too heavy tripod in very good condition (I have 4 Gitzos so I think I may just have too many)
Various flash arm mounts - 2 x TLC dovetails, 1 x Subal and 2 x Oceanic/Sea&Sea type (I think) = 2 x Ultralight 1/4: tabbed screws for arm lowers (I think)
Subal Hotshoe to fit Canon
TLC baseplate with dovetails at either side - off a Subal originally if I remember correctly
If anyone is interested in anything PM me an offer and I can email through a jpeg and weight/shipping cost.

KNOTTED: Raj Kundra, Shilpa, Surendra, Sunanda and Shamita Shetty
Raj Kundra takes Shilpa Shetty as his wife at traditional ceremony in Khandala
SHARIN WADER BUTANI Times News Network (BOMBAY TIMES; November 24, 2009)
In London he's used to zipping around in luxury cars and sports models, but in Khandala on Sunday, UK billionaire and businessman Raj Kundra arrived on a white horse to claim his Bollywood bride Shilpa Shetty. He rode from his hotel to Kiran Bawa's bungalow, where the blushing bride was waiting, while his baaratis danced around with great gusto. Dressed in a sherwani, heavily garlanded and bearing a sword, Raj was greeted by bridesmaid Shamita at the entrance to the bungalow with a big hug. His men carried bundles of crisp, 500 rupee notes which they distributed to the band while Raj walked to the lavishly decorated mandap for the pheras which was done in the Bunt style with Shilpa looking every inch the South Indian bride. The actress was seen getting emotional after the ceremony and crying as she hugged her father who had discharged himself from hospital following a stomach infection to be there. It was almost 9.20 pm when the couple stepped out to pose for the media. They then left for Mumbai as Shilpa's bidaai was to be done from her house in Lokhandwala.
Meanwhile, BT's wedding correspondent reports that all of the 70 guests who were present at the wedding had a hairdresser, a makeup artist, and a chauffeur-driven car at their disposal. Even their hotel rooms were done up with gift hampers, pink roses and and chocolate fudge. For the two days that the guests were in Khandala, there was buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Bawa bungalow and a wedding menu made up of cuisines from 72 countries! Bridesmaid Shamita Shetty, who lost out on the chance to win her reality show prize money after leaving it midway for Shilpa's wedding, was disappointed that she could not make up by successfully hiding the dulha's joote. Raj was apparently supposed to give her Rs 51 lakhs for his shoes!
Yesterday in Mumbai, the couple had their court marriage. Since the saat pheras was strictly for family and close friends, Shilpa and Raj have planned a lavish reception for Bollywood and their business associates today at a suburban five-star. The married couple along with their families will then head to Tirupathi and from there to the Oneness University in Chennai to seek blessings from Shilpa's gurus, Amma and Bhagwan. They will then come back to Mumbai to leave for their week-long honeymoon at the Bahamas.

I have a low supply of milk. My daugher wasn't having enough poopy/wet diapers and wasn't gaining proper weight. I was taking fenugreek and it seemed to boost my supply, but it made me and her both terrible sick and diarrhea so I had to stop. She used to suck at the breast for at least 10-15 minutes and stay there...even if she wasn't swallowing milk. She has always had a bad latch...I have some physical deformed nipples and so it makes it hard for her to latch correctly. The LC says that she probably could latch effectively when she got bigger and stronger. She gets frustrated and won't latch at all now and when she does latch she sucks for just a few seconds and gets ticked. I can get her to stay on long enough for the milk to let down, but she will suck/swallow for about 30 seconds and then get angry and pull off and won't latch again. I've tried switch feeding...which I've had to do from the start...and she won't latch at all. Pulling head back, screaming, pushing at breast with her hands.
I've been pumping after every nursing session. Right now, because I have three other kids, this is all I can do. I tried pumping every hour and when she woke up to eat there wasn't any milk available to her and she wouldn't latch. She'd just get angry. I couldn't keep her on the breast. She is a totally different baby when she gets fed and is full. When I'm giving her the breast and switch feeding she will scream and cry and be fussy and angry for hours on end at the breast. By the end of it I'm crying and she is crying and we end up having to supplement anyhow.
I want nursing to be a pleasurable experience for me and her and it just isn't. It is a fight. She is angry and I'm upset and by the time she gets fed enough to be content we start all over again in 30 minutes. I honestly feel bad about this, but I HATE when she wakes up because I realize I have to go through circus hoops/fights to get her to nurse and be content.
I'm not sure what else to do. Pumping, nursing, so frequently has my nipples so sore and the lack of sleep is really taking its toll. I know breast milk is best, but what does a mom do when she isn't making enough and baby won't nurse?
Just really frustrated.

Scholars at RAND Europe recently released a comprehensive analysis of the European Union's controversial Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMS), more commonly known as the "Television without Frontiers Directive." This effort, which is being coordinated by EU Commissioner Viviane Reding, aims to bring some rationality to inconsistent EU media regulations. The problem is, in an effort to make the rules more rational, Reding has essentially proposed a significant expansion of government regulation for new media outlets and operators, including the Internet. (See these three papers by my PFF colleague Patrick Ross for a detailed explanation of the dangers of Reding's efforts to expand content regulation).
Thus far, most of the criticism of the AVMS has been based on social / content-related concerns. Rightly so. There is little doubt that the directive will threaten freedom of speech and expression on the Internet and over other new media outlets / services. But the new RAND study takes a different approach to the issue by focusing on the potential economic impact of the AVMS directive on European companies and the EU's competitive standing in the new media world more generally. [An executive summary of the report and the full report can be found on the Ofcom website here].
RAND's conclusions are not encouraging... unless you happen to be an American or Asian company rooting for your European competitors to be handicapped by excessive government regulation!
RAND argues that "the AVMS Directive will be applied to an industry whose structure is both more complex and more dynamic than the traditional industries of broadcasting or telecoms, and one in which the effects of regulation may have significant impact on the eventual industry structure that emerges." Specifically, RAND argues that for some of the new digital economy sectors it surveyed -- IPTV, mobile media and video games -- the "regulatory uncertainties" created by the AVMS could result in the "flight of capital or skills to other sectors or countries" (especially gaming and IPTV). "We expect these businesses to have a high sensitivity to regulatory proposals," RAND concludes.
RAND also notes that it is unclear how the EU's new directive will cover "Web 2.0" user-generated and user-hosted content. The report suggests that "The only feasible way to enforce the Directive [for user-generated content] is via the intermediary, content host or service provider as a proxy for the content editor." "This may result in substantial changes to the type of common carriage regime that is currently in place," RAND notes. Indeed, the problem with deputizing the middleman in this fashion is that it turns those intermediaries or ISPs into quasi-censors for the state. Instead of just delivering traffic (bits) to consumers, they will be expected to inspect it all first and sort out the good bits from the bad bits (however the EU chooses to define them).
RAND also argues that the directive would discourage innovation and new entry since: "New linear operators (e.g. new channel providers) will face relatively heavy regulatory burdens under all scenarios. They are likely to license over to incumbent or otherwise consolidate. Therefore, regulation reinforces concentration. In fact, it is difficult to imagine new entry succeeding in any but niche channels..."
That's fairly devastating stuff and the rest of the report is equally brutal. As the Ofcom summary of the RAND report concludes:
"This report highlights some important economic risks inherent in the Commission's proposals. These risks are particularly important in relation to the new media industries that RAND Europe has examined and which are strategic for European future competitiveness. These risks accrue not just to shareholders of the companies concerned, but to the EU economy as a whole and hence to EU citizens. The worst case scenario for Europe is that economic activity which would have taken place in Europe, providing jobs and stimulating growth here, will take place elsewhere, be it in the US or in the Far East."
Again, I guess that's good news if you happen to be a new media / Internet operator living in the U.S. or Asia, but it's troubling news for European operators. But Americans and Asians should not gloat too much because (a) they will face these same regulatory burdens when they attempt to do business in Europe and (b) worse yet, the European model could become a model for regulation here in the States or elsewhere overseas. In some ways, it already is.

So, after looking for about two hours for that particular image from the Kiss in the Galaxy manga, Sheryl and Alto on their wedding day, I have come to the depressing conclusion that nobody has scanned it. I guess it is just wedged really badly into the manga book and people fear damaging their book.
However, I found a ton of images I hadn't seen yet, and I thought I might share the ones I found particularly good. It's been a long while since Raile did his last image dump, so I hope you guys like the pictures. There are most probably a good number of duplicates to the ones Raile posted months ago, though I hadn't seem them before. Here we go!
I still hope someone will scan that one wedding image ( although the other ones in the manga also sound sweet ).

I was wondering if I could make a request. There's a picture I would like to use as my desktop background. It's, as far as I know, only been used for the Macross Frontier Creator's File 3 magazine as a gift bag. I'm getting the magazine, probably in a few days (at least I hope my shopping went well with my Japanese + google translate, otherwise I'll be broke for no reason...) but they only had file 3 in stock without the bag.
If anyone here has it, could you scan the picture? This is the largest I could find:

Okay, so I've been looking around on Tumblr in search of Macross F pics to add into the dump, and hey, I found a few!
If anyone has the full scanned image of the wedding pic, please let me know!
If someone can translate this, I'll be a happy lady I know it mentions an "area" or whatever, but not much else.

Anyway, leaving that aside, let me ask you a simple question. You oppose the canonicity of the Sheryl x Alto pairing, because, as far as I can see, you want the Alto x Ranka pairing. However, past conversations have brought to the fore that you actively dislike Alto.
Why do you want Ranka, your favorite character from the show, to end up with a guy you actively dislike? I at the very least have the excuse that Sheryl and Alto are my favorite characters in anime ever. And that I think that they suit each other perfectly. So, if you think Alto sucks as a character, why do you want Ranka to have him? So that she "wins"?

Bearded Ladies in "Wide Awake: A Civil War Cabaret"
Date: 7:30pm EST January 30, 2014
The Bearded Ladies are coming, and Chestertown may never be the same! Philadelphia theatre troupe The Bearded Ladies conducts a ten-day residency at Washington College, with three performances on January 30, 31 and February 1, 7:30 p.m. each night. Limited seating! For reservations call (410) 778-7835, email: email@example.com
"We don't just tour, we invade," crows John Jarboe, founder of the rollicking Philadelphia theater company, which is doing a ten-day residency at Washington College—workshops, classes, a parade!—culminating in three free performances of their hit show, "Wide Awake: A Civil War Cabaret."
The Caba-Play, as the Bearded Ladies call their fast-paced 60- to 80-minute productions, was inspired by the bestselling book 1861: The Civil War Awakening by historian Adam Goodheart, Hodson Trust-Griswold director of Washington College's C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience.
"Many strange and wonderful things can happen when you send a book out into the world," says Goodheart. "But perhaps best of all was getting an email one day from out of the blue to inform me that 1861 had inspired a Civil War drag cabaret. I didn't know quite what to expect when I saw it for the first time, but it turned out to be the funniest and smartest—and raunchiest—historical extravaganza I've ever seen. I went back to the dressing room right after the show and said, 'This needs to come to Chestertown.'"
"Wide Awake" was first performed in a sold-out run at Philadelphia's Wilma Theater in November 2011, and the company received grants from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and the Knight Foundation to expand the production for a run at the Kimmel Center in the spring of 2013 as part of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts.
Goodheart served as historical adviser and helped workshop the play. The title is taken from his book's first chapter. The Wide Awakes were a Civil War-era paramilitary organization whose members wore shiny black hats and capes, carried enormous torches and sometimes brandished the axes which they bore strapped to their backs in honor of their hero, Lincoln the rail splitter. Jarboe describes the play as "partGone with the Wind, part folk-punk extravaganza, with music ranging from 1827 to 2013. John Brown, P.T. Barnum and a myriad of historical characters sing, dance and rock out in an epic battle-of-the-bands."
During their week in Chestertown, the Bearded Ladies will teach classes in the drama, history, English literature and music departments. On Wednesday, January 29, from 3 to 4 p.m., they will stage a parade (complete with band) through the campus. And they will host a playmaking workshop on Saturday and Sunday, January 25 and 26 (5-9 p.m. on 1/25 and 3-8 on 1/26), that is open to all students and the public. To sign up for the workshop, or for more information, email Drama Department chair Michele Volansky at email@example.com.
"The Beards represent everything that is the liberal arts: an inquisitive, creative nature coupled with a keen awareness of the world around them," says Volansky. "Their Civil War Cabaret is a perfect blend of arts and history. This will be my first time working with the company as a whole. It's going to be a lot of fun."
"Wide Awake: A Civil War Cabaret" will be performed on Thursday, January 30; Friday, January 31; and Saturday, February 1 at Decker Theatre in the Gibson Center for the Arts. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Limited seating! For reservations call (410) 778-7835, email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Bearded Ladies Cabaret residency is sponsored by the Starr Center and the Washington College Department of Drama.

During the American Civil War Becky Moncrief, an innocent girl, is taking care of her dying stepfather when all of a sudden several mysterious men storm in with the intention of taking the man and his secret possession. However things don't go according to plan for these mysterious men and with the help of Drake Sinclair, Becky Moncrief gets away with the secret possession.
The secret possession turns out to be one of six evil and magical guns that not only have mystical abilities but also unlock a secret treasure.
Becky Moncrief and Drake Sinclair embark on a journey through the Weird West in pursuit of the other 5 magical guns and in search of revenge for the responsible of the death of Becky's stepfather.
How is it?
The 6th Gun Volume 1 story takes place roughly after the end of the American Civil War. Its not the Wild West usually associated with Westerns but the Weird West riddled with elements of the occult.
Missy, the undead General Oleander Hume's wife, in preparation of his returns to "life", sets her henchmen after the General's lost gun. They fail miserably and in that process the protagonists meet and partner up with the purpose of getting revenge on Missy and recovering all the 6 magical guns. Early on the reader will find out that Sinclair's motives are everything but altruistic.
And thus a quest is born. A strange quest for the unlikely partners and unholy alliances that will take them through many confrontations, gunfights and discoveries of the earthly and unearthly type. Sinclair is a complex character that unveils a bit in this volume and has a couple of surprises for the reader. Becky on the other hand is a sweet girl that will have to grow up fast if she wants to survive all the mystical, occult and plain villainous menaces that will be thrown at her.
|Strange are the fruits from that tree.
The aesthetic of it all is, for the lack of a better word, glorious. The look & feel created for The 6th Gun is vibrant, colorful and exalts the dynamic of the panels and the flow of the art created by Brian Hurtt. Brian's art is very clean and fluid.
Personally I didn't thought it would be possible to describe a gunfight in a way that would be dynamic, fluid and above all capture the reader's attention and create suspense. But my doubts were proven unfounded. Brian Hurtt managed to capture the essence of a Western movie gunfight and translate it to sequential art as perfectly as it will ever get.
|Monster? ME?!
|General Hume rises again
This one is a winner. I'm not usually a fan of Westerns in any medium, but I loved the weirdness and randomness Brian Hurtt and Cullen Bunn bring to this book. Its a fast paced action book, with a Western setting and an occult flavoring. It has gunfights and zombies and zombie hellbent on revenge and bloodthirsty Civil War southern generals. What's there not to love?!
The 6th Gun Volume 1 is a fun book. In this aspect its an old fashion comic, from a time when fun was what comics where about. The story is contained in this collection and, while there are a few loose ends that will connect with the next volume, it wraps up nicely.
If you're either looking for a Western, an Occult or fun book, give this one a looksie.

Katharine Graham, née Katharine Meyer, (born June 16, 1917, New York, New York, U.S.—died July 17, 2001, Boise, Idaho), owner and publisher of The Washington Post, Newsweek magazine, and other American news publications.
The daughter of the publisher Eugene Meyer and the educator Agnes Meyer, Katharine Meyer attended Vassar College from 1934 to 1936 and then transferred to the University of Chicago, graduating in 1938. After a year as a reporter for the San Francisco News, she joined the editorial staff of The Washington Post, which her father had bought in 1933. She also worked in the editorial and circulation departments of the Sunday Post. In 1940 she married Philip Graham, a law clerk. From 1945 she gave up her career in favour of her family. In 1946 her husband became publisher of the Post, and in 1948 the couple bought the voting stock of the corporation from her father. She remained apart from active involvement in the business as the Washington Post Company acquired the rival Times-Herald in 1954, Newsweek magazine in 1961, and several radio and television stations.
In September 1963, following her husband's death by suicide, Graham assumed the presidency of the Washington Post Company. (From 1969 to 1979 she also held the title of publisher.) Under her leadership, The Washington Post became known for its aggressive investigative reporting, led by Ben Bradlee, who Graham named executive editor in 1968. With the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 and the newspaper's unrelenting investigation of Watergate in 1972–74, the Post increased its circulation and became the most influential newspaper in the U.S. capital and one of the most powerful in the nation. From 1973 to 1991 Graham was chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the Washington Post Company. In 1998 she received the Pulitzer Prize for biography for her autobiography, Personal History (1997).

All In The Family... Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
After seven inches of rain in the Hopkinsville area, the last of the storm clouds floated eastward this afternoon. Isaac and I took a walk down our lane and enjoyed the fresh September air.
We hadn't gone far when we heard a piercing, plaintive meow. Skittles had decided to come along and she wanted us to wait for her. She was hurrying to catch up, but when she saw that we had stopped, her kitty-trot dropped to a slow saunter.
Isaac picked her up and carried her for a few yards, but she wanted none of that. She leaped free and began exploring the corn stubble in the neighbor's field. We walked on as she dawdled, and soon we heard her distressed voice complaining again that we had left her behind.
|Our neighbor's cornfield today
And thus with many pauses, we went down the hill and back up again. Skittles loves to go for walks, but walks with her are predictable. She refuses to be carried, refuses to hurry, and resents being left behind.
One day last summer, she meandered down to the mailbox with me in her usual manner. Going back up the hill to our house, a Mennonite fellow came up behind us quickly and quietly on his bicycle. As it happened, Skittles was preoccupied with observing nature right then, and she didn't hear or see him until he was very near her.
Startled terribly, she ran up the road a short distance and turned around. To her dismay, the strange man on wheels was still right behind her, apparently determined to catch her and perhaps have a fast meal. Skittles decided to make a run for it.
Up the hill she went with the bicycle close behind her, and every time she paused to look back, she found him still at her heels. She had to run, and run she did, until finally she was safe at home and the bicycle whizzed past her and on down the road.
Who knows why that silly little cat thought she had to outrun the bicycle instead of just stepping aside and letting him pass, or maybe climbing a tree?! As I watched Skittles race toward home, I laughed until tears ran from my eyes. For once, she wasn't loitering!

Alan Pardew kept faith with the starting XI that had gone down 3-1 to Manchester City the previous week, but Redknapp made three alterations to the side that picked up a first league win of the season against Fulham. Fabio and Anton Ferdinand came in at the back, while Esteban Granero replaced Shaun Wright-Phillips in midfield.
In sodden conditions at St James` Park, both sides failed to create chances in a poor first half. Adel Taarabt went closest for the visitors, latching onto Granero`s clever scoop pass, but firing a shot from a tight angle straight at Tim Krul.
The hosts got themselves into several good positions down the left but were routinely let down by atrocious crossing from Jonas Gutierrez.
Papiss Cisse should have made more of a one-on-one chance but his half-hearted effort, under pressure from Clint Hill, bobbled wide and Davide Santon unleashed a shot that flew high and wide.
The teams went in at the break deservedly goalless to rumblings of discontent from the home support.
Those rumblings became full-on boos early in the second half as Papiss Cisse was hooked shortly after heading over the bar. The Senegalese striker, who has featured on the right wing recently, was visibly upset at the decision and refused to shake Pardew`s hand as he came off.
Redknapp also made changes to his side, bringing off the quiet Granero and the frustrated Djibril Cisse for Wright-Phillips and Junior Hoilett.
The hosts almost took a fortuitous lead just after the hour mark when Vurnon Anita`s corner almost crept in at the near post, but Robert Green recovered well to scramble it away.
Ameobi then had a gilt-edged chance to score on 66 minutes, latching on to Anita`s cross eight yards out, but only getting a feather touch on the ball, and seeing it drift harmlessly wide.
The Magpies` tails were up and substitute Gabriel Obertan skipped down the left flank before cutting back onto his right foot and crossing for Demba Ba, who fluffed his header, giving Green an easy save.
Newcastle finally snatched the lead with 10 minutes remaining. After some one-touch passing on the right, Ameobi was found in the box, before cutting inside and curling an unstoppable finish past Green.
The lead could have been doubled soon after as QPR committed men forward for a corner, but it broke down, giving Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux a chance to break. The latter carried the ball through the Hoops` half before firing a low shot that Green did well to save.
Marveaux also flashed a free kick just wide, and the visitors failed to muster a late challenge as they remain rooted in the relegation mire.

Beautifully Tended Gardens
Keeping a garden takes a fair amount of work and attention to yield fresh foods yourself right at home. And then there's a whole other stratum of gardens that are kept as a practical artform. Not only do they produce garden-fresh foods, but they're absolute stunners to behold. Here, we've gathered a few such gardens:
• 1 Woven plant covers at BinBin.
• 2 Bright red spiraled tomato stakes are also an accent in this small, colorful garden from Better Homes and Gardens.
• 3 Instead of typical rows, this garden from Country Living is planted with many criss-crossing paths. This makes it easy to access plants and it's an interesting visual.
• 4 Birch branches pushed into the ground make supports for peas, beans, and cucumbers in Martha Stewart's vegetable garden.
• 5 A jalapeno plant, carefully marked with a labeled stone, via Under Construction.

AALS Civil Procedure Section Call for Papers
AALS Section on Civil Procedure
Call for Papers
The Executive Committee of the AALS Section on Civil Procedure invites the submission of papers for presentation at the Annual Meeting of the AALS January 4-8, 2012, in Washington, D.C.
The topic of our panel will be "Procedural Reform: Rulemaking v. Legislation." Procedural reform has enjoyed (or suffered from, depending on one's point of view) considerable attention in recent years. Procedural topics are in the mainstream media. Supreme Court cases have reformed bedrock principles. Rulemakers regularly debate amendments to an ever-expanding corpus of rules. And the legislative branch seeks to undo some reforms while initiating still others.
Papers presented by the panel will put this constellation of procedural reforms into a broader perspective. The debate about whether procedural reform is more properly the province of rulemakers or lawmakers is neither new nor, perhaps, even resolvable. Yet it remains
relevant-urgent, even, given the stakes. We invite the submission of papers that address this topic in whole or in part. Papers that address the topic in whole might, for example, consider the use of empirical evidence as an engine for procedural reform. Or institutional choice theory might be applied to the procedural landscape. Even if your work addresses the topic only in part, we encourage you to submit it; we will be selecting papers so that the panel, considered as a whole, will generate a dialogue to explore the broader issues.
Drafts of the papers submitted for consideration must be received by September 1, 2011. Submissions should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Papers already accepted for publication will be considered.

TSA Planning New, Even More Invasive Security Measures In Response To 'Threat' Of Implanted Bombs
from the security-theater-is-reactionary dept
And, now, for all the talk of the ridiculous new naked scanners and gropings, people have realized that won't do any good if someone has a bomb implanted within them. So... guess what? The TSA is now claiming that they have reports that terrorists are planning to implant bombs inside people to blow up on flights... and that the existing scanners won't spot them. So they may start implementing brand new security procedures which they won't tell anyone about just yet.
Somehow, none of this makes me feel any safer... and my bigger concern here remains the TSA over terrorists. Nothing in what's being done suggests that the TSA is even close to focusing on who is getting on flights, and instead continues to focus on what is being brought on flights, which is a pretty pointless endeavor when you realize that there are always ways to get the next thing on board.
I certainly agree that it would be incredibly tragic if someone had an implanted bomb and it blew up a plane. And, contrary to the claims of some, I'm not advocating that we do away with security altogether. I'd just like to see security that actually focuses on trying to stop a real attacker, not on finding the lady with 4 ounces of liquid in her purse.

This post has been sitting as a draft for quite some time, but tonight's Playstation Phone news reminded me that I needed to publish it. I'm sure that the Playstation Phone from Sony Ericsson will be a huge hit with it's combination of the Playstation brand and the unique gaming controls, but at the same time there will be competing devices that offer 5x faster gaming performance.
Now of course graphics aren't everything (as Nintendo proved with the Wii), but games do matter. So what platform will have the best games?
It is tough to say who will win at this point, but NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 2 platform seems to be generating the most interest among current game developers.
Do you remember how I've been saying that the Unreal Engine 3 was coming to Android? NVIDIA showed off a demo of Unreal Tournament at the last CES, but Epic Games never officially confirmed they would support Android (although they hinted at it).
The Unreal Engine is so important to mobile gaming because they have some of the best middleware developers in the industry that make the tools the game studios need to create the most advanced and detailed titles.
Current publishers who have worked on Unreal Engine games include Capcom, Electronic Arts, Konami, Square Enix, THQ, Ubisoft, and the list goes on. Check out Wikipedia for a full list of Unreal Engine games.
I'm still not certain if Epic Games has announced support for Android, but we know they eventually will since there are already several Android games in development.
Take Dungeon Defenders from Trendy Entertainment for example. This hack-n-slash online RPG is currently in development for Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, PC, iOS, and Android.
And which platform did Trendy Entertainment pick when they decided to developer for Android? You guessed it, Tegra 2.
When a gamer with a Nexus One asked if Dungeon Defenders would run on his phone, he got this response: "Currently the Android version of Dungeon Defenders only runs on next-gen Android devices using the Tegra2 GPU".
Now I'm not saying some of these games won't eventually make their way to a Nexus One or Galaxy S (because they might), but it appears the platform that best runs 3D games based on Unreal Engine 3 is NVIDIA's Tegra 2.
What could this mean for the future of the game industry? Mobile devices are now powerful enough that you might see some cross-platform launches (PC, console, and Android) for some really huge franchises.
The Playstation brand is absolutely huge and I don't want to underestimate Sony, but you have to see the big picture now. Other electronics companies (Motorola, Samsung, LG, etc.) will make competing game-centric devices and the open source nature of Android is going to level the playing field.
Check out the following video below of Dungeon Defenders for an idea of what could be on your new phone in a couple months. Now take all the awesome publishers mentioned above and imagine what they are working on behind closed doors.
Google's Andy Rubin recently said, "gaming is an area that I think is underserved right now" and hinted Gingerbread and Honeycomb would address that issue. He wasn't joking.

Adam Kessler - Teaching, General Teaching Projects in Sri Lanka
I arrived in Sri Lanka with Projects Abroad about a month ago now, full of enthusiasm. I had passed a TEFL course just before coming out, so had a month of intensive teacher training under my belt. I felt ready. I knew what concept questions were, and I was proficient in over nine tenses. I could say 'shut the hell up' in six different languages. However, perhaps predictably, school was nothing like I'd expected.
So on my first day I ended up teaching my class animals and verbs - monkey climbs, fish swim etc. I learnt a lot about concept questions in England - essentially asking the students questions to check they understand, and so I seized the opportunity to put this into practice.
"Fish swims?" I asked them, and by physically going up to them and moving their heads I managed to get a response. "Good" I lied. "Now, monkey swims?"
"No!" the children should have cried "How could you commit a zoological error of such colossal magnitude? Surely nobody but the most incompetent of natural scientists should be aware that the common monkey (chimpus araborelous) spends its time climbing - or since you insist on restricting us to the present simple tense - the monkey climbs." Instead they just nodded their heads, having evidently learnt that nodding makes me happy. The teacher immediately repeated my question in Singhalese, which at least allows them to understand, but at times is a bit annoying.
The second day of teaching was much more fun than the first. The children had lost their fear of me and Alistair, and so whenever we went out at break time we were attacked by a swarm of rampaging children, all calling out in Singhalese at the top of their voices. Desperately trying to calm the masses, I informed them all that my name is Adam.
"My name is Adam! My name is Adam!" they all yelled in what was, for some reason, a perfect Scottish accent.
"No, no!" I told them. "MY name is Adam. What is your name?"
"What is your name? What is your name?" they chanted, delighted with the new game. Sighing I gave up attempts at communication and went back to shaking hands, which is the one thing guaranteed to cause a riot. For some reason they absolutely love shaking hands, they just can't get enough of it. As soon as they understood this novel means of communication, they spent all break-time following us round, frantically grabbing at our hands and shaking.
They are also kept exceedingly amused by our lessons. Not because of our excellent lesson plans (for good reason) or because of our dry wit and sparkling epigrams. No, the things that send the children off into paroxysms of laughter are our attempts to shut them up! Clapping at them provoked mild titters, gesticulating for quiet with a ruler leads to much general merriment, and my attempt at putting my finger to my mouth and saying "shhh!" led to riotous laughter and a spontaneous round of applause.
It's infectious laughter, happy rather than malicious, and I find it quite hard to keep a straight face in lessons. I was trying to teach them the time, and clapped my hands for quiet. After a burst of laughter, something like silence was obtained. "Now", I told them, "The time now is ." I paused, sneezed twice into my handkerchief, and went back to the lesson. I got another two words out before dissolving into a fit of giggles, while Alistair watched sadly from the side.
So, all that remains is to point out that, despite the problems, teaching English here in Sri Lanka is a wonderful and constantly varied experience.

Austrian PinePinus nigra
It has been called the toughest of all European pines and, we would add, the hardest working. Well-known horticulturalist, Dr. Carl Whitcomb, said the tree "rivals all pines in durability under adverse conditions." Nowhere has this been put more to the test than in the windbreaks of America.
The Austrian pine has passed the test, just as it has for centuries in Europe. Since it was introduced to the U.S. in 1759, this pine has been put to work as both a beautiful landscape tree—with its dense, dark green crown—and a working tree that restores strip mines and scarred land, stabilizes soil and tames the wind.

Phillip W. Schneider and Elkhorn wildlife areas are currently closed to public access.
Mandatory Reporting
Thanks to all hunters who reported their 2012 tags on time. Hunters who did not report 2012 deer and elk tags on time will pay a $25 penalty fee when they purchase a 2014 hunting license. If your 2012 deer and elk hunts extend into 2013, you have until April 15, 2013 to report your hunt.
More information on reporting.
Wolves in Northeast Oregon
Wolves are protected by state law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters in northeastern Oregon need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. ODFW needs hunters' assistance to establish wolves' presence in Oregon; please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to La Grande office (541) 963-2138 or online.
Use the Oregon Hunting Map to see where to hunt.
Cougar - Cougars can be found throughout Baker County but hunters should target areas with high concentrations of deer and elk. Setting up on a fresh kill or using distress calls can all be productive techniques. Hunters are required to check in the hide of any cougar taken, with skull and proof of sex attached.
Coyote - Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.
Cougar - Hunting remains open. Successful hunters should remember that check-in of the hide with skull and proof of sex attached is mandatory; see the regulations for details.
Coyote - Numbers are good in most of the district. Coyotes may respond to distress calls. Try calling in the early morning and late evening.
MORROW, GILLIAM and WHEELER COUNTIES
Cougar - Hunting is open. Cougar are well distributed in our forested areas. Calling with distress calls or cougar vocalizations can be effective. Tracking a cougar after a fresh snow can be a successful technique as well. Locating a fresh, naturally made kill has the best chance of success.
Coyote - By all indications the coyote population is healthy with good numbers of coyotes available for those who wish to pursue them. Watch wind direction to help prevent giving away your location. Calling with game distress calls can be very successful.
Cougar - Cougar are well distributed in forested areas of the Walla Walla, Mt. Emily, and Ukiah units. Hunters will have best success by finding a fresh naturally made kill and sitting on it, or by using predator calls. Some success has come from following tracks until the cougar is located.
Coyote - Are numerous throughout the District and hunters should have good success calling. Remember to ask permission before hunting on private lands.
Cougar - Cougars are common in Union county. Focus on game rich areas with long ridgelines or saddles that cats typically travel. Setting up downwind of a deer or elk killed by a cougar can be productive. You need to be extremely patient and wear camo when calling cougars as they come in slowly and use every bit of cover as they approach. Using remote calls will focus the cat's attention away from your blind. Remote motion devices next to the remote call will increase your chances of harvest. Above all, DO NOT MOVE! - their eyesight is excellent. Nonresident hunters can include a cougar tag with others tags for only $14.50. All cougars taken must be checked in within 10 days of harvest; call for an appointment before coming in.
Coyote - Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.
With the close of authorized hunting seasons on the area, Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is closed to hunting and to all entry beginning February 1. This includes all portions of the wildlife area both west and east of Foothill Rd. The Glass Hill Unit will re-open April 1.
A parking permit is needed for Ladd Marsh. Hunters get the permit free with their purchase of an annual hunting license. Display on car dash. More information
Wallowa COUNTY
COYOTE: Good numbers of coyotes can be found throughout Wallowa County. Calling coyotes with rabbit distress type calls has been effective for hunters. It is important to choose areas with abundant coyote sign and little human activity.
COUGAR: Cougar numbers are strong throughout Wallowa County. Most lions are taken incidental to other hunting; however, calling with fawn bleat, or locating a cougar kill and waiting for a cat to return are often successful techniques.

Mayor may have accepted illegal contributions
Information was turned over to the Howard County Sheriff's Office and Texas Rangers Thursday afternoon alleging Big Spring Mayor Tommy Duncan accepted illegal campaign contributions during his bid for the municipal office in 2010.Campaign finance records submitted by Duncan to the City Secretary's office covering periods between March 30 and April 28 of 2010 list a pair of contributions from Hydro Dynamics Inc. and Quad A Inc., allegedly violating Sections 253.003 and 253.094 of the state's election code.According to the campaign report submitted by Duncan, he accepted a $300 political contribution from Hydro Dynamics Inc. (contributor address listed as 4312 Highway 87), and a $500 political contribution from Quad A Inc. (contributor address listed as P.O. Box 2216, Big Spring).The information was uncovered after the Big Spring Herald received a report from a confidential informant regarding the illegal contributions. The Herald had an attorney request the campaign finance reports for all candidates running in the 2010 municipal elections from the city of Big Spring.After reviewing the documents — Candidate/Officeholder Campaign Finance Report Form C/OH — legal advice was sought from the Texas Ethics Commission, which confirmed it is a violation of the Election Code for a candidate running for mayor in Texas to accept campaign contributions from a corporation.The information was turned over to investigators with the Texas Rangers Thursday afternoon after Howard County Sheriff Stan Parker contacted the state law enforcement agency, a decision he said was normal protocol when a local elected official is being investigated.Herald Publisher Ron Midkiff said the newspaper felt compelled to turn the information over to the authorities."We have an obligation to report these findings to the authorities and to the people of Big Spring and Howard County," Midkiff said.Officials with the Texas Rangers said the allegations will have to go to 118th District Attorney Hardy Wilkerson before the law enforcement agency can decide what steps to take next.A phone interview with Duncan scheduled Thursday afternoon for Friday morning was cancelled by e-mail less than an hour before it was set to begin with the mayor citing a scheduling conflict as the reason. A call to his mobile phone number was not immediately returned.Under the Texas Ethics Commission Title 15 Election Code regulating political funds and campaigns (§ 253.003. Unlawfully Making or Accepting Contribution), "(a) A person may not knowingly make a political contribution in violation of this chapter." and "(b) A person may not knowingly accept a political contribution the person knows to have been made in violation of this chapter."Violations of the two subsections are considered third-degree felonies punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine not to exceed $10,000 "if the contribution is made in violation of Subchapter D."According to state statutes, Subchapter D states, "This subchapter applies only to corporations that are organized under the Texas Business Corporation Act, the Texas For-Profit Corporation Law, the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act, the Texas Nonprofit Corporation Law, federal law, or law of another state or nation.Accepting illegal campaign contributions isn't the only allegation the mayor faces at this time, as recent reports Duncan has been using city resources to campaign for Glen Carrigan, who is currently running for the District 3 seat on the city council, are currently being investigated by the Herald.

Hood River's Relay for Life participants are looking forward to what they hope will be another record-setting weekend.
The fundraiser for cancer research happens Saturday and Sunday at Hood River Valley High School.
Last year the relay's 42 teams raised $125,000 along with The Dalles' $38,000, making the Gorge area among the top 10 regions in the nation in terms of dollars raised per capita.
The idea for the relay was planted in May 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt took the first step of his 24-hour marathon around a Tacoma, Wash., track and raised $27,000 for the American Cancer Society.
The following year, 220 supporters joined Dr. Klatt in the overnight event and the Relay For Life was born. Now the ACS is looking at approximately 3,248 relays around the country.
The event was brought to Hood River six years ago by Leslie Cogswell, an x-ray technician at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital. The ACS headed the event, and nine teams raised $18,000 for the organization.
Cogswell took over as the relay's Hood River chair for the next four years, and was succeeded by Mooreen Morris, who also serves as the event's treasurer.
"Keeping track of the money is what I love, and hopefully I can get back to doing just that next year," Morris said. "If you don't divide up the tasks, you end up working from September until after the relay, and you just about get burned out."
Still, Morris wouldn't think of missing the event, with its schedule of activities chock full from 9 a.m. Saturday morning to 9 a.m. Sunday at the high school track.
All team members should arrive at the track between 7-8 a.m. to register and set up tent sites. Official team introductions and pictures begin after the opening ceremony and greeting by Tony White at 9 a.m.
Ongoing activities throughout the day include a scavenger hunt, a silent auction between 2-5 p.m., a tent contest, multiple drawings and a quilt raffle.
Haircutting takes place on the stage at noon. The hair will be donated to make wigs through a program called "Locks for Love." Call Carolyn VanOrden at 386-3990 if you're interested in participating.
The Jamba Marimba Band plays from 12:30-2:30 p.m., followed by guest speaker Dr. Jeff Menasche at 3 p.m., the White Salmon Jazz Band from 4:30-6:30 p.m., Blue Trick at 7 p.m., and Steve Hudson at 8 p.m.
The Hood River Fire Department will host a barbecue at 12:30 p.m., Mike's Ice Cream will be available at 2:30 p.m. Juanita's Fajita Bar will open at 6:30 p.m., dessert sponsored by Active Food Distribution will be available at 7 p.m., and Soroptimists will serve a Sunrise Breakfast at 6 a.m. Sunday morning, sponsored by Don Nunamaker Realtors.
From midnight to 4 a.m. there will be Veggie Bingo and more on the track. A sunrise service by Dan Armstrong will follow at 6:30 a.m., and the final lap and closing ceremonies begin at 8:30 a.m.
Luminaries will be sold for those who wish to dedicate their walk. The small bags of sand, each with a candle, will be placed around the track and lit at the Luminary Ceremony at 10 p.m.
Parking for the relay is available to the north of the school, directed by the high school Honor Society. If anyone needs help transporting goods, has a golf cart or similar vehicle to help others, or wishes to park an RV, contact Dick Snyder at 387-9532 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi Augie;
I have read many books related to war, but they are mostly about the war, eg history (Rise & Fall of the 3rd Reich), economics (The Wages of Destruction), holocaust (Hitler's Willing Executioners), from which I have learned a lot. But as a reader, I remained at a distance from the experience of the war, the proverbial "arm-chair" observer. So I thank you for referring me to Intimate Voices and a closer encounter to this violent wound in human history. ...It evoked a dimension of empathy and compassion.
This is a unique read that puts the horror and stupidity of war up close and personal. And it brought so much of what I have previously read as an observer up close and much more personal. It reminds me that I have had a life of grace in that I have been spared the experience of war - at least so far.
Blessings, Augie; - Ken

EKU improves to 12-10 on the season, while the Lady Bucs fall to 7-18.
Leading 1-0, the Colonels pounded ETSU hurler Courtney Jenkins (

ETSU committed four errors in the loss, with Jenkins (1-8) giving up five hits and five runs in just 2 2/3 innings. Brittany Lehrschall (
The Lady Bucs finally got their bats going in game two, posting six hits. ETSU managed to load the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh, but couldn't put any runs across thanks to a stellar Colonel defensive effort.
Eastern Kentucky jumped ahead early, scoring three runs in the first behind a three-run blast from
The Colonels tacked on another pair of runs in the second with Kalyn Fox scoring on a wild pitch, and Alex Merrell crossing the plate after an ETSU error. ETSU had three miscues on the game. Fox would hurt ETSU again in the fifth, smashing a two-run shot over the left-field fence.

EA and BioWare have just announced the third entry in the Dragon Age franchise, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.
Looking forward to this. I hope they add a co-op horde aka me3
Are you nuts?
I hope he's being sarcastic...
Funny though, the article picture is of Dragon Age: Origins (an amazing RPG) but BioWare just announced Dragon Age 3: Inquisition (quick time event, button mashing, dumbed down to the max.) Sorry I just had to, no sugar coating here. I think we all know what's coming.
I hope it's a return to form for Dragon Age, but I have a feeling you could be right Major.
Unfortunately it will be designed with controller in mind. just means it will never have the tactical game play of the original.
Hell even in Dragon age origins the console version was significantly dumbed down for console use. Since it was a known fact that controllers can never handle all the inputs required. The game on console featured far less mobs etc and was basically a hack and slash game. The real game was always on the PC.
Unfortunately they dumbed down Dragon age 2 with console style gameplay in mind. I expect more of the same with DA3. They just wont learn lol.
As nuts as he is... I fear that EA's with him on this one *facepalm*
It's like we all know what's coming, but we're too afraid to admit it... We're all hoping Bioware just makes a proper RPG game again and we don't have to worry about any tacked on MP modes.... year right, we're all in denial lol
Oh great. EA is making Frostbite 2 the next Unreal Engine 3. Next up is probably using it in their mobile games...
I would consider this DA2. That other thing was abominable. And I think he is trying to be funny.
they need to fix:
1)the dungeons
2)the decision making and it's significance to the story
3)usefulness of the loot
4)Relevancy of the party members
5)it should look better than a PS2 HD port at this point in the life span of the 360 & PS3
DA2 did some good things. Had Origins not gone before it I think it would have been received better. It veered too far from what people were expecting but on its own DA2 was a great game.
I'm looking forward to DA3. Go back a little more towards the Origins roots but keep the battle system geered more toward the DA2 style and I think the fans will come back around.
Lets hope they can pull it out!
Riiiiiight. Because if there's one thing Dragon Age 2 was missing, it was multiplayer...
Yeah. Because multiplayer and party based games just don't mix. >___>
In fact, when I'm playing Borderlands, I always think to myself "if only my partners were AI and incompetent morons instead of actual people capable of thinking.
I wasn't expecting the Dragon Age Inquisition.
Nobody expects the Dragon Age Inquisition!
Oh you don't have to hope, it'll be there. EA's head honcho proudly stated that he will not greenlight games unless they have multiplayer components. Expect ruin.
Will DA3 be another casual experience from Bioware?
Well lets just say if it is then thats it for Bioware...it shows you there in too deep for them to change back to what they were like.
I mean people are looking at DA3 as a way for Bioware to prove themselfs again, if they mess up then thats it, they blew it
Hope it's like DA 1.
Let's all hope so, Bioware have it in them to make an amazing game. It's all in how much EA feel like holding them back.
the frostbite 2 engine? wow, well at least we know there wont be anyone complaining about the graphics
I predicted months ago that Dragon Age and the next Mass Effect (ie Next gen Mass Effect) would use the FrostBite 2 instead of Unreal 4. Happy to actually see that some of that prediction is coming true.
See this? Bioware announces DA3 for PC,360,PS3.. Things like this assure that wii u will get limited attention from 3rd party devs.. Oh well, hope its good cuz i didnt care much for 2
They shouldn't port it over to the Wii-U unless some type of comic book is included where the player could select story choices.We have to remember all of these games were built with the current platforms in mind.I'm sure EA/Bioware will port DA3 over to Wii-U just later.
i get u but still.. AC3 is coming to it, black ops is coming to it, & a few others that are sooner to release.. I dont think it would be a problem if they wanted to do it.. ME3 is getting released w a comic, why not have that same team port it? GTA5 prolly aint goin on wii u either.. Its all assumption cuz it could change but as it stands, its not going on it.. Speculation on it being possible is exactly what happened with all the others.. The potential is there for great things to happen but falls short..
Err... there is no platform announced yet. Can you at least read the article?
We really don't know anything about the game yet, it could be a next gen title as well. Seeing that the Wii U gets Mass Effect 3, I could see them getting this game too. I wouldn't count it out in the least.
Way too early to be complaining that the Wii U isn't listed as an option. The game is 16 months from release...
It actually really depends on weather Dragon Age III is next gen or not. ie the real next gen, ie PS4/720/PC.
If it is, its pretty clear it won't be on Wii U. If its on PS3/360, i see no reason why it shouldn't be on Wii U....same damn tech anyway so...
Hope they pull a Devil May Cry and make the Third one better than the first, and WAY better than the second.
Is it gonna have an ending that's gonna make people on the internet buttrage?
Looking in this comment section it seems that just announcing a game is enough to make people on the internet buttrage.
Interesting. Frostbit, eh? EA forcing this on them.
Obligatory: "Enchantment!!!"
Also, none of that BS with runecrafting from Dragon Age Awakening; they got really carried away with that option.
Oh, and please have a ton of storage space and/or storage chests, I'm a hoarder of armor and weapons!
It's a running gig so hell yeah!
It is kind of disappointing to continue the storyline of the second game which was, lets be honest, a huge let-down compared to Origins. What the heck happened with the Blight and the Grey Wardens anyways? I guess they REALLY wanted to go all Mass Effect on their one true old school RPG... I will be following the development of this closely.
Yes, too much focus on the Templar vs Mage thing. I get that the Blight only happens once in a long time, but there's got to be other things to the Dragon Age universe than that.
OH, I forgot to mention before, bring back Origin style beginnings!
If Bodahn and Sandal are not in DA3 then Bioware will face the biggest backlash of all time.
After all, they are the most important characters in the DA games.
PC: "There are dead bodies and blood all over the place Sandal.... what happened!!!"
Sandal: "ENCHANTMENT"
Wii U version? Who wants else wants one?
That would be pretty sweet with the gamepad. I'm game for it. =D
Nobody wants one. Nobody is shelling out $300 for a PS3 that can't play blu-ray or the PS3's games. -_-
I doubt anyone would want a Wii U version considering all of your choices from the first 2 games would carry over to this one.
Not me, I'm not planning to get an WiiU, but a PS4 version would be nice ;D
Damn it Sony announce the PS4 already!! give us a Next-Gen Gaming multi media BEAST!!! with uber graphics,CPU and mega amounts ram!! I'm ready.. WiiU makes me want a PS4 lol , sorry Nintendo :[
That would be cool if they released the other 2 games, but without them it's kind of like Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U.
Looking forward to this game, I enjoyed BOTH the DA games.
Really mixed feelings about this... Anyway, lets see how much choices actually matter in this one. The things you did in 1 had little to no influence in DA2 except for a few cameos. I won't be fooled by a sexy CG trailer again.
I have no faith in Bioware anymore. As long as they are with EA I expect the worse.
I'm looking forward to seeing more about this title, including when I can expect it to release. Happy to hear it's finally been officially announced, although it's not much of a surprise.
Might go on my get cheap list...maybe. Right now its on my *yawn i wonder what else is coming out" list. The 2nd one was bad, I dont really care to revisit that storyline and ME3 had some bad writing to. Slower RPGs actually need a story people want to play (and replay).
Great news. Can't wait to hear more. Won't put my expectations up too high though. This is it for me and im sure alot of other people.
Preorder now and get the real mass effect 3 ending for only 79.99 more!
I'll keep an eye out. I recently got around to Dragon Age II, and I see why some people didn't like it, and Bioware cut WAY too many corners, but I'm really enjoying it, myself. I heard a lot of the trouble may have spawned from them simultaneously working on ME3 and The Old Republic. So, who knows? Maybe they'll get their groove back when they're all on one project again.
You can only impress me at this point Bioware. You're lucky I don't believe in points of no return thus you can't dissapoint me any further.
Sweet, I thought they wouldn't come out with another one after people complained about the last one but I thought the last one was the best in the series, I hope they keep it the same as the last one in the 3rd installment.
Can't wait for this I love Dragon Age series. Yes even the second game.
lol that was a lackluster announcement. now im worry
They might be for next generation consoles that is why they haven't shown anything.
I foresee dark days for Dragon Age fans. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Pity they cancelled the dlc for DA2 as it seems to fit into the title for this one.
Sounds good, and the use of Frostbite 2 has me really intrested.
Destructiable environments anyone ? JK! lol
That would be pretty interesting. Being able to collapse the ceiling on some Hurlock Emissaries would make them less of a pain.
Awesome. Can't wait to get it for PC!!!!
"a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral."
A girl can dream.
They also claimed choices mattered with ME3 ending.

I am a saxophonist, singer, songwriter, actor, youth empowerment coach and entrepreneur, but my primary passion is music. As a professional musician I have the honor of having music fill my soul, fuel my desires and feed my heart. It's hard to say if I chose music or if music chose me but once we united I knew I had found my passion. I've had the distinct pleasure of performing with such artists as Wynton Marsalis, Rachele Ferrell, India Arie, Montel Jordan and Jackie McLean. I lived in Africa for a year and performed with legendary coronet player and activist Hugh Masekela. I toured with top-selling reggae artist Lucky Dube and South African favorite Bheki Khoza. I've also recorded with artists like Teena Marie, Italy's own Paola Val and Stevie Wonder.
What gives me great joy is helping others find their own instrument of inspiration. I write songs that encourage, uplift and empower its listeners. My Blog will be the hub for motivational services I will provide via music, ideas, motivational speaking..etc. I need a distinctive logo design that embodies my jazzy and hip hoppy personality.
My target audience is anyone who loves conscious hip hop and motivational gospel/R & B. Someone that appreciates the improvisational and spiritual component of jazz. Those seeking inspiration and direction will gravitate towards my brand - Music - Soul - Motivation. The animated cartoon sax will appeal to young people who love the saxophone. Because of the content of my music it might be considered 'grown folks music'
I need a singing saxophone logo for my website and for all other branding purposes where the bell of the horn is boppin back and forth or up and down. The opening of the bell is my face with a goatee and it looks like its singing and feeling the groove. The prominent colors are blue and gold. Maybe the sax can be blue and the round keys gold. BOBATOON can be black, gold or blue or a combination of all. I need it done in flash animation so that the sax is singing and grooving when arriving at my website. I also need a static image to use for stickers, posters, flyers etc.. Maybe the sax and name logo can be in front of a blue circle or box background( maybe nice for a sticker)
I attached a sketch of the general sax idea and a picture of my face just in case that is at all helpful. I also attached a song entitled 'Bobatoon' to give you an idea of my musical style.
I can't wait to see whatcha come up with. Thanks

About Me:
My name is Sarah Renée, but you can call me SR or something for short:) I fell in love with the Beatles almost 4 years ago when I was 8. My favorite Beatle is Paul<3 and I've seen him in concert 3 times. I have The Beatles rockband and 519 songs (of theirs) on my phone. I'm pretty protective of them. Like I'll give anyone who insults them the deathglare. I do a lot of Beatle-art (and other fandoms mind you) on DeviantArt. I'm MissMacca on there. -> http://missmacca.deviantart.com/ I hope to befriend many Beatlemaniacs:)
Tell us why:
Dude! I can't choose just one! my top 3 though are 1. This Boy, 2. I've Just Seen A Face, and 3. Can't Buy Me Love. This Boy, because the harmonies are just so beautiful and their voices mix so well. I've Just Seen A Face, because I love country music as well and this is pretty country! Also I sang this song at a restaurant (it was a medly with this and Can't Buy Me Love, which brings me to the next one) and it was really fun! Finally, i adore Can't Buy Me Love because it's such an upbeat and uplifting song. And every time I hear it i think of the scene in A Hard Day's Night when they're running around that field being goofballs:). (and again I sang it for people)
Favourite Album:
A Hard Day's Night
Tell us why:
All of the songs on this album are sweet. I'm a sucker for ballads.
