Kununurra, WA
There's something about wild, remote Kununurra that fires the spirit of adventure in even the most timid of travelers. It could be the blue skies, scorching red soil and rugged bush scenery, or the fact it is the gateway to the East Kimberley and some of Western Australia's remarkable natural attractions.
From here you can visit World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park and the beehive-shaped towers of the Bungle Bungle Range, thought to be 350 million years old. Or see their miniature versions in amongst the amphitheatres, gullies and ridges of Mirima National Park.

I have sighted five UFOs:
They were "unidentified flying or stationary objects" in the sky. Such objects were sighted by many millions of people globally. One of my neighbors has sighted a huge extraterrestrial spaceship fly right above our building. Air force officers all over the world have sighted extraterrestrial spaceships up close within yards, which would hover over or remain stationary over nuclear weapon storages for hours at a time.
I have spoken to hundreds of people on the street raising awareness of the phenomenon. I'd say about 10 to 15% of the people I spoke to have sighted UFOs and a larger percentage of people know of people who have sighted UFOs. I even spoke with people who have been abducted by extraterrestrial beings.
I would like to know whether people in this forum have sighted any UFOs or have had other experiences pertaining to the phenomena.
Views: 1983
Or as I'm fond of saying, the line between having an open mind and a hole in one's head seems hard for some people to maintain.
As I have stated, about 5-10% of world population has purportedly sighted UFOs, and I think the percentage might be even higher, as about 10-20% of the hundreds of people I spoke to on the street have sighted UFOs.
So let's call it 10%. World population is currently at 7,050,000,000 (that's 7 billion+) so you are saying that 705 million people have sighted UFOs.
Really? Seven hundred million?
I bet 90% of them live in rural Georgia, Alabama, or Florida and were fishing at night while drinking moonshine.
I bet 90% of them live in rural Georgia, Alabama, or Florida and were fishing at night while drinking moonshine.
Hey, we do that all the time. Never seen a UFO. I HAVE seen space shuttles, meteorites, satellites, stealth bombers, seabirds, planets, heat light, flying fish. No angels, No ring wraiths, and No aliens.
Really Unseen? 90% of 700 million people live in rural Georgia, Alabama, or Florida? That's more than double the population of the US.
It's "the new math."
RE: "some of these air force officers have mistakenly determined that the navigators of the UFOs were here for good of humanity,"
So now you know for certain that the navigators of the UFOs were NOT here for the good of humanity? What pray tell are they really here for? Did they beam a nice long message into your brain explaining the whole thing?
How many of the 5 "sightings" were during daylight hours?
Again - what makes you jump to the wildly implausible conclusion that these experiences were caused by extraterrestrial travelers who, even though they have advanced interstellar technology, are incompetent in their conspiracy to hide their presence from us?
Here's what makes you sound like a total nutjob:
light which reached a superluminal speed
Let me break it down further...
reached a
superluminal speed
speed greater than the speed of light.
I saw a leprechaun riding a unicorn, but then they put on an invisibility cloak and rode off on a broom. They came out of a flying saucer with "Earth or Bust" scrawled on the side.
More seriously, for the same reasons we will NEVER get even as far as the closest star system, we won't be visited by aliens.
As Gerry Berard has pointed out, if UFO's were as frequent as their cheerleaders would have us believe, in these times when 90% of everyone has a cell phone camera, the evidence would be overwhelming.

Today I had the pleasure of watching Austin get ready for the lingerie bowl tryouts. I arrived at her house at the perfect time, she had on high heels, a thong and a team jersey. I watched her slowly squeeze her huge round ass into a pair of tiny shorts, it was an amazing sight. She showed me her football stance, and she also did a few squats making her bubble butt look even bigger. When her boyfriend arrived he immediately took her to the bedroom and fucked her monster ass like a madman.

A staggering 64 million people, or more than one in three adults, in the United States has a medical condition called metabolic syndrome that puts them on the fast track to developing type-2 diabetes and significantly increases their risk of heart disease. Here's how you can tell if you have it or are at risk of getting it, and more importantly what you can do about it.
Large waistline is an indication of Metabolic SyndromeMetabolic syndrome, also referred to as Syndrome X or Insulin Resistance Syndrome, describes a collection of metabolic abnormalities that includes excess belly fat, high blood sugar, high blood fat, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, and high blood pressure. There is often a host of other abnormalities such as excess liver fat, and higher than normal levels of inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction. To have an official diagnosis you don't have to have all these problems, just three.
Sugary carbs are biggest culpritWhy has the prevalence of metabolic syndrome shot up in recent decades? One distinct possibility is that we are consuming too many sugary beverages and total carbohydrates relative to our ability to metabolize them efficiently. Survey data indicate Americans have increased carbohydrate intake to the tune of about 200 extra kilocalories per day, much of this in the form of sugar and processed carbohydrates.
Sugary carbs are biggest culpritWhy has the prevalence of metabolic syndrome shot up in recent decades? One distinct possibility is that we are consuming too many sugary beverages and total carbohydrates relative to our ability to metabolize them efficiently. Survey data indicate Americans have increased carbohydrate intake to the tune of about 200 extra kilocalories per day, much of this in the form of sugar and processed carbohydrates.
Insulin resistance equals carbohydrate intoleranceIn the body, excess carbohydrate calories cause insulin to be released which stops the fat burning process. Cells in our muscles and liver (and other tissues) also down-regulate their normal response to insulin causing a condition called insulin resistance. This causes blood sugar levels to increase and other problems associated with metabolic syndrome. In this way, insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome can be more accurately described as carbohydrate intolerance. If you have this condition, you tend to divert a greater percentage of the carbohydrate you eat into fat. Over time, this causes collateral damage that ends up as metabolic syndrome.
When viewed in this context, it becomes clear that the most effective way to prevent or reverse metabolic syndrome is to restrict those sugars and starches that are causing the problem.
The best approachSimilar to other food intolerances like lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance, the most logical approach to treat metabolic syndrome (aka, carbohydrate intolerance) is to limit the offending substance. In this case, restrict dietary carbohydrate to a level your body can manage. Based on genetics, people vary widely in their level of carbohydrate intolerance, and thus they also vary in the level of carbohydrate restriction required to manage the signs and symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Tolerance to carbs also tends to decrease as you age.
My clinical study revealed the best diet to reduce riskWhen my laboratory group put a group of men and women with metabolic syndrome on a 3 month low calorie diet low in fat (25% fat) or low in carbohydrate (12% carbohydrate), the results were striking. The subjects assigned to the low carbohydrate diet showed greater improvement in all the markers of metabolic syndrome including greater fat loss, lower triglyceride levels, higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar levels, lower insulin levels, and lower blood pressure levels. We even observed lower inflammatory markers and improved vascular function.
Change your dietThere are no hard set rules here, but most people with metabolic syndrome will experience significant benefit from limiting their carbohydrate to less than 50g per day. You may be able to tolerate more carbohydrates, but add them back carefully and monitor your signs and symptoms of carbohydrate tolerance. Consume 75-125g of protein a day depending on your weight. Replace some of the calories from carbs with calories from healthy fats like flax oil, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, nuts and seeds. My lab also did another study that showed if you eat a low carbohydrate diet, the saturated fat found in red meat and other animal products didn't accumulate in the body; it actually decreased saturated fat in the blood, a highly positive health effect.
Exercise can improve results dramaticallyRegular exercise can also significantly improve all the features of metabolic syndrome, especially because it promotes insulin sensitivity. This includes both endurance exercise and resistance training. Did you know that just a single bout of exercise increases insulin sensitivity and the effect can last up to 2-3 days. This means you tolerate carbohydrates better after performing physical activity.
Supplements help target specific problem areasReducing sugars and starches, and engaging in regular physical activity is the best approach to decreasing your waistline and improving the other symptoms of metabolic syndrome. However there are other complementary strategies that may target specific problems.
Triglycerides – try to lower themThe omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA found in fatty fish are good at reducing blood triglyceride levels on average 25-30%. They may also improve insulin sensitivity and help reduce inflammation. The minimum effective dose is 500 mg/day (EPA + DHA) and you can increase it up to as much as 1-2 grams/day.
Used in traditional Chinese medicine, red yeast rice has been shown to decrease blood triglycerides. In one study, subjects given 1,200 mg/day reduced the triglyceride response to a fat-rich meal by nearly one half.
Other ingredients to consider include pantethine (a form of vitamin B-5) and many others shown below that are good for HDL cholesterol.
HDL ("good") Cholesterol – try to raise itDecreasing carb intake and increasing fat intake reliably raises HDL ("good") cholesterol, but certain fats raise HDL more. Coconut oil, which is rich in medium chain fatty acids, consistently increases HDL cholesterol.
Other ingredients to consider to help with healthy cholesterol levels include niacin, tocotrienols, citrus polymethoxylated flavones (Sytrinol), plant sterols, coQ10, green tea extract and vitamin D among many others.
Blood Sugar – try to lower it Including more soluble fiber can minimize the impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. Glucomannan is a soluble fiber from the konjac plant. A number of placebo-controlled studies have shown that small amounts of glucomannan (1 to 4 grams/day) enhance weight loss and decrease the fasting and 2-hour glucose levels by approximately one quarter.
Other fibers like psyllium and oat bran also help slow the normal rise in blood sugar in response to eating carbohydrates. Adding omega-3 rich flaxseed oil or other healthy fats to a protein shake also dampens the rise in blood sugar that also occurs even when eating just protein.
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that is often low in the diet. Several studies have shown that chromium can normalize blood sugar levels, improve blood sugar utilization and decrease insulin requirements in individuals with carbohydrate intolerance and insulin resistance. In one recent study, blood sugar responses to a carbohydrate meal of white bread were measured with and without a single dose of chromium (400 micrograms). The addition of chromium resulted in a 23% reduction in blood sugar after the meal.
Alpha lipoic acid, curcumin (turmeric), cinnamon, fenugreek, gymnema and other supplements can also help support healthy blood sugar levels.
Blood Pressure – try to lower it Peptides from whey have been shown to lessen vasoconstriction (narrowing) by inhibiting an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). In one study, supplementation with whey (20 grams/day) for 6 weeks reduced systolic blood pressure by 8 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 6 mmHg compared to control. In a more recent study, overweight subjects who supplemented with 60 grams/day of whey for 12 weeks showed a decreased systolic (5 mmHg) and diastolic (2 mmHg) blood pressure, as well as an improved augmentation index, a measure of the stiffness of blood vessels.
Flowers and berries of the hawthorn plant contain several bioactive compounds and have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions. The most well documented effect of hawthorn is to cause vasodilation and increased blood flow. A recent randomized study showed that 1,200 mg/day hawthorn extract for 16 weeks significantly reduced blood pressure in patients with diabetes compared to placebo.
CoQ10, fish oil, green tea extract, green coffee extract, vitamin D, soy protein, pycnogenol, calcium, magnesium, garlic, quercetin and numerous other supplements may also have an impact on healthy blood pressure.
Body Fat – try to lower it Since a higher body fat level tends to trigger the complications associated with metabolic syndrome, supplements that can help you lose body fat may also be beneficial. They can include low-carb protein powders, green tea extract, CLA, thermogenic ingredients like bitter orange (synephrine) or caffeine, carb inhibitors like white kidney bean extract, most fibers and many other supplements.
Reversing metabolic syndrome is in your control If you are one of the growing numbers of people with metabolic syndrome, the good news is that you can do something about it. Not only can you slow it down, you can completely reverse it and keep it away for good. Paying close attention to reducing the amount of sugar and starch has a profound benefit on all the metabolic problems. This should give you more energy so you actually have the desire to exercise, which further helps improve the condition. There are also a number of supplements that can support your diet and exercise plan.

Cover image
I've never understood why it doesn't just display the cover of the book you're reading. Or would that be too obvious?
I recently bought myself a Kindle, which is providing sterling service as an e-book reader for my daily trips in and out of Vulture Central. It's more compact and lighter than a tablet, even a 7in one, like Samsung's Galaxy Tab. Yet its 6in screen means I don't have to squint at a smartphone display. Since it only cost £111, I …
I've never understood why it doesn't just display the cover of the book you're reading. Or would that be too obvious?
Because - AFAIK - eBooks don't actually have cover images embedded in them.
Certainly on ePubs, some do. But equally, an awful lot of eBooks don't, and just have a pretty generic publisher's logo with the author and title. I suspect it's because someone's forgotten to acquire the necessary rights to the image in some cases, rather than sheer laziness. Though you can't rule that out where some companies are concerned
I would think it has far more to do with the size of the image. Entire books occupy tiny amounts of memory and bandwidth. But if you're going to embed pretty pictures in them they take up significantly more. That's why Amazon actively discourage images in their ebooks.
It's the opposite of album covers on MP3s. There the image doesn't take any appreciable room in comparison to the actual content.
Dunno where this notion that Amazon "actively discourage" covers in e-books comes from. I have plenty of Kindle editions that include cover pics. Most do. Those that don't are almost entirely older books OCR'd for the digital era.
Think about it.
You might be embarrassed about reading the Twilight saga.
Seriously? That'll be why I used to see so many people reading paperbacks with the covers ripped off then. Oh wait, that didn't happen.
If its really such an issue, which it isn't, then a simple option to select 'Current Cover', 'Random Artwork' or 'Blank" would give something relevant for most people and a getout for the paranoid.
The same guide I followed. It's a worthwhile hack that brings me endless enjoyment. For the intrpid who try it, a good resource for wallpapers is http://kindlewallpapers.tumblr.com/
Good shout. It's where I've gotten most of mine from.
I really had to turn off the stock images after it kept showing the picture of John Steinbeck. It's only since owning a Kindle that I now have it burned in my mind that he might have been a kiddie fiddler (seriously, look at that 'tache on the sleep screen pic).
..... Big Time.
Isn't a screensaver or "sleep screen" supposed to stop burn-in? If the kindle screen suffers from burn-in, displaying the same image every time you put it to sleep is the worst thing it could possibly do. And if it doesn't suffer from burn-in, what's the point of having any sort of screen saver?
Doesn't really take a genius to work that out, now does it? This is exactly the same reason why Windows and MacOS still come with screensavers, despite burn-in being largely a thing of the past.
because its pretty?
Anyway, compare the two phrases "Screensaver" and "Sleep screen". They actually mean different things, they are not 'the same'.
E-ink doesn't suffer burn in, but the image stays on when the device is off (because it doesn't use any power). So you can have your own images on the display when the machine is sitting on the coffee table/bedside table/toilet cistern asleep, rather than ones Amazon have chosen for you.
I speculated about this apparently pointless capability a while ago with a Kindle-owning friend. The best reason we could come up with was that device still needs *some* sort of "not active" mode you can put it in to prevent the keyboard or page turn buttons getting accidentally pressed when you're carrying it about. And, maybe, it draws more power monitoring the buttons than when it's asleep.
And if that is the case you might as well throw in a screen saver to give a clear indication that the system's in that state.
My tuppence worth, anyway.
I would imagine that they were waiting for the right time to introduce adverts in place of the normal sleep screen.
There you go, nice advert sat on the coffee table, tailored to the user based on their mined information.
I'm pretty sure I read on El'Reg that they were planning a cheaper version of the Kindle in the states that would be subsidised by adverts.
I was looking at Amazon US site today and they are already selling them. About 20 dollars less than one without adverts. The ads look ok though, just offers for books or multi buys.
From the home screen of a Kindle 3:
Hold down shift and Alt. Press m
That's my afternoon sorted!
... for precisely zero result. So _you_ can specify the image you look at for 3/10ths of a second while you're sliding the power switch? Is that really worth "jailbreaking" the device at the potential expense of warranty?
That being said, I too am confused as to why it doesn't sleep to the cover of the (last) active book.
you have more than one uncased Kindle around the house, if each Kindle has a different set of images you tend to know if it's belongs to you.
The sleep screen is what the Kindle displays when it's 'off', not what's displayed while it's turning off.
I think the point was that once people have hit the off switch they don't spend much time looking at it. A fair point but misses the true reason for most people doing it which is that they aren't meant to.
When is Amazon going to start selling apps for the Kindle platform, known as "Kindle Active Content" in the UK?
I just want to play chess on mine when I get bored of reading.
Go eat your lawsuit; it's an "appstore", not an "active content store".
Switch stores to the US one. Give em a postal address over there - be cheeky, use one for a certain book retailer in Seattle - and you can buy what you want. Then swap back to a UK address.
Scrabble is great on the Kindle, despite being B&W.
I'm still not sure about these things. I like the idea of not hauling a load of books, magazines or comics on holiday, but I still like the relative romance of an actual paper-based book. If additional content is available, such as puzzles, etc I'd find it even more appealing.
WRT adverts, I'd happily show an ad for something on my sleep screen while I'm not looking at it in exchange for cheap/free content/hardware.
A *really* useful feature would be to display the owner's name and contact details on the screen when it's off. Then, if you lose it, anyone who finds it can easily return it (or at least make selling it on a bit less appealing for some)
You could put your contact details on the wallpaper, and only have one image in the folder; or lots of images with your details at the bottom of each one.
Just an idea.
Show your desired destination when hitching rides?
Your home address, either shame a thief in returning it or to say you're not home, to burglars?
Your phone number in the bar?
Or more usefully, "TWO MORE PINTS" to be waved regularly at the barman, on noisy fridays?
I'm getting a little tired of saying this all the time, but have you told Amazon about your problems with their device? If every person who has a problem with the Kindle sent their feedback to Amazon, we'd have our custom screensavers. It happened with page numbers. Amazon claims to be the most 'consumer oriented company in the world'. As a journalist, it is your job not only to bitch about the tech you use, but to help your readers realise that as customers of Amazon, Amazon is accountable TO THEM. And while you're drafting that feedback email, make sure you mention that you want to read ePub files on your Kindle!
Yes I did. Here's the reply I received:
Thanks for writing about the Screen saver pictures on Kindle 3.
We're regularly working on improvements to your Kindle experience. I've let the Kindle team know you're interested in loading custom standby pictures to kindle 3 in the future.
Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide, and we're glad you took time to write to us. The Kindle Team will carefully review your suggestions.
Thanks for your interest in Kindle.
Don't just send it to Amazon. Send it specifically to the CEO. Snailmail may prove more effective than calling or email.
Er, because it is counter-productive?
Anyone with a clue knows that the kind of customer who bothers to send feedback to the company is *distinctly* unrepresentative. *Normal* people bitch about the product on web forums. Therefore, if you really believe that Amazon listens to their customers, the logical course of action is to bitch about the product on web-sites, to emphasise that your viewpoint is one held by normal people. Sending direct feedback implies that only wierdos want to customise the image.
The Amazon kindle forum has literally hundreds of requests for this. Amazon seems particularly stubborn with the Kindle software.
It was the same for page numbers. Again, hundreds of people asked for it and only recently did Amazon cave in and provide a half arsed solution (you have to press Menu to see the page number). Showing read position as a percentage is absolutely meaningless for books of varying length. Does 92% mean you have 20 or 200 pages left to go? Do you give the book another 30 minutes reading time based on that? You just can't make the call.
You can also install a mod that allows you to play old text based adventure games...
I never did finish the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy game back in 198x.
epub on kindle is simple, download calibre drag,drop,send to device done. Why on every thread about the kindle is there always someone saying epub support when it can do with a simple process (same goes for many other formats, calibre converts almost everything :) )
...you can't convert DRM'd ePub books to Kindle format.
(Well, not legally, anyway.)
When people say they want ePub support, they mean they want to buy an ePub book from Waterstones, or get a ePub library book, and read it on their Kindle. They don't want to have to find a bit of dubious software to hack it, then transfer it to Calibre, then upload it to the Kindle.
I'd found this script a couple of months ago after inheriting a Kindle. The default images of the Coffee Shop W@nkers Reading List annoyed me in mere minutes.
since my kindle is more likely to be packed with Peter Hamilton than Emily Dickinson, changes had to be made. I do wish I could increase the delay time until the off screen appears.
the first image I loaded was the "troll face" with the text "Problem, Amazon?" :)
Some people might be offended by the racial nature of some of the photos.
I know I don't like to be reminded about the beating I got for being white while on holiday.
Fair go, Amazon, let us remove offensive images from the screen saver.
As far as I know, this jailbreak technique doesn't work with the latest Kindle firmware (3.2.1).
You just select the picture from the sleep image menu, if you select several, it will alternate them.
Why is it these days that more and more companies seem to not only want consumers boxed into their format, but are also removing even the most simple customisation options?
Works a treat. That is all.
Heh, i just got one myself, and promptly made 700 xkcd strips into kindle wallpapers after quickly growing to dislike the defaults:
Thanks for that, much better than the default images.
One thing though - I saw on some forums people saying they experienced sluggishness with their Kindle if they had too many images in their folder. Have you noticed anything like this with 700 (or is it possible they were just running out of space)?
Disabling the screensaver reduces the battery life down to under a week, I just had to do the ~resumeScreensaver to get it back on.
Not sure why, but I think I'll wait for the official update
... but this is one device I just don't want to hack.
I suppose if you've got a few of them around, it's a good idea, but mine lives on my bedside table - switch on, read, switch off. I don't even notice the sleep image anymore.
Still, I admire the hacker spirit - and it's definately something Amazon should've included by default!

A number of people have approached me to upload my current UI.
I find a UI a very personal love/hate arrangement and what suits me might not satisfy someone else 100%.
Therefore I do not feel it to be for me to dictate that my addons of choice are better than what you may already be familiar and happy with.
To that end and to hopefully please those who would like a similar looking UI to mine, I have uploaded the empty panels which originated from the CaelUI by Caellion.
If you want details of a specific addon i use, drop me a PM/or leave a comment and I'll happily advise.
Unfortunately there are no magic buttons included to alter the sizings/positions of the frames (boxes), although these can be amended by editing the sqwPanels.lua file if the auto scaling does not suit your screen.
To install sqwPanels simply move or copy the sqwPanels, sqwLib and sqwMedia folders into your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns folder.
The panels require the included sqwLib and sqwMedia folders to work. Delete or untick these and the panels will break.

London: Alex Ferguson has described it as the most important derby in his 26 years at Manchester United while Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini thinks his side are too far behind in the Premier League title race for it to be decisive.
Differing views, but the reality is that whoever wins the game at the Etihad Stadium on Monday is likely to be crowned champions with United three points clear at the top and three matches of the season left.
The battle for Champions League places involving Arsenal, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea also becomes more intense after Chelsea reached next month`s Champions League final.
Should Chelsea go on to win the Champions League, whoever finishes fourth will not qualify for the elite competition and go into the Europa League.
Meanwhile, at the bottom, the fight to avoid joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in next season`s Championship (second tier), is just as frantic with Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic, Queens Park Rangers and faltering Aston Villa battling for their Premier League lives.
Monday`s match at the Etihad (1900 GMT) begins with United top on 83 points and City second with 80. If City win they would move ahead of United on goal difference while a United victory would leave them six points clear with two matches to play.
"It is probably the most important derby game in my time. We have to go there, make sure we perform in the right way and not give away silly goals," Ferguson said.
"There`s no reason why we can`t get a good result. There has been an expectancy from City that this could be their decider, but it`s our decider too. Either way, it`s the decider."
Mancini believes United are still favourites to win the Premier League title because they had a less difficult run-in.
After playing on Monday, United face Swansea City at home and Sunderland away. City visit Newcastle before a home game against Queens Park Rangers.
"They`re top, three points ahead," Mancini said. "After the derby they have two easy games. We can talk about the title next Monday night but it`s impossible."
Mancini suggested United`s experience - the club have won 19 titles - would be a telling factor.
"I don`t think they have pressure because they are used to it every year," he added. "For us, it`s different because it`s the first time. We don`t have any pressure because we are not expected to win. But we want to finish well. It`s important for our season."
Monday`s match is the fourth time the two have met this season. In the Community Shield curtain-raiser United won 3-2 after City led 2-0 at halftime.
City then became the first opponents to score six at Old Trafford since 1930 when they crushed United 6-1 on October 23 before United ended City`s reign as FA Cup holders with a 3-2 win at the Etihad in a third-round match in January.
Arsenal lie third on 65 points and are favourites to take the final automatic Champions League place, a position they will strengthen if they can win at mid-table Stoke City on Saturday.
Newcastle, in a great run of form of six successive league wins, are fourth on 62 points with a match in hand on but might find matters tougher at rejuvenated Wigan.
Spurs, whose form has nose-dived since manager Harry Redknapp was linked with the England job in February, are fourth on 59 points going into a home match against 19th-placed Blackburn.
Chelsea, fresh from knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League, start the weekend in sixth place going into a home game against QPR.

The reasons for the removal are actually more sound than you'd think, at least for some of the removed adblockers. AdBlock Plus, for instance, used a security vulnerability to allow it to work without root access. A tool like AdAway, in the meantime, took a more 'wholesome' approach and edited the hosts file to block ads everywhere - in browsers and ad-supported applications.
The specific section Google claims is being violated:
It's no surprise that tools like either of these two would not stand up to scrutiny of a curated application store, but of course, this is all just a convenient way for the world's largest internet advertising company to boot tools that possibly affect their bottom line. I have no idea how popular these tools were to make any statements about how large this possible effect is, but let's not try to turn this into anything other than it is.
I used AdAway on my Galaxy SII and later on my Nexus 7 (both relegated to storage now that I have an 8X and Surface RT), for the simple reason that I refuse to have my mobile browsing experience - already not the most optimal on any mobile device - further bogged down by ads on websites. The fact that AdAway also blocked ads in applications was of no relevance to me since I buy all my applications.
Thanks to Android's open nature, though, the removal from the Play Store means absolutely nothing at all. Every Android device (aside from some carrier-locked ones, I suppose, but I've seen those here in The Netherlands) can easily sideload applications - including these adblockers - so effectively nothing has been lost. Diving into menus to find the allow-sideloading-switch may be a bit too daunting for less experienced users, though.
Question remains what this move will mean for adblocking extensions for Chrome. They've remained untouched during this recent move, but what's to say they won't get the same treatments in a few weeks of months? I'd guess the impact of desktop adblockers is much more substantial than that of mobile adblockers, so Google may indeed be pondering such a move.
As for adblocking in and of itself - I never had much of a problem with it, despite OSNews running (a very limited set of) ads. In the end, your computer is your own, and you, and only you, get to decide what gets stored in your RAM or what gets displayed on your screen. If you do not want ads on your computer, then you have the right to block them client-side.

Education and Professional Affiliations
B.S., Microbiology and Public Health, Michigan State University
Ph.D., Microbiology & Molecular Genetics, University of California at Los Angeles
Postdoctoral Fellow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Dr. González focuses his research on the role of exopolysaccharides in the nodulation of legumes by rhizobia and the molecular genetics of plant-microbe interactions.
Research Interests
Members of the rhizobia are distinguished for their ability to establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with leguminous plants. While many details of this relationship remain a mystery, much effort has gone into elucidating the mechanisms governing bacterium-host recognition and the events leading to symbiosis. Several signal molecules, including plant-produced flavonoids and bacterially produced nodulation factors and exopolysaccharides, are known to function in the molecular conversation between the host and the symbiont.
Work by several laboratories has shown that an additional mode of regulation, quorum sensing, intercedes in the signal exchange process and perhaps plays a major role in preparing and coordinating the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia during the establishment of the symbiosis. Rhizobium leguminosarum, for example, carries a multitiered quorum-sensing system that represents one of the most complex regulatory networks identified for this form of gene regulation.
This review focuses on the recent stream of information regarding quorum sensing in the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. Seminal work on the quorum-sensing systems of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae, R. etli, Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234, Sinorhizobium meliloti, and Bradyrhizobium japonicum is presented and discussed. The latest work shows that quorum sensing can be linked to various symbiotic phenomena including nodulation efficiency, symbiosome development, exopolysaccharide production, and nitrogen fixation, all of which are important for the establishment of a successful symbiosis.
Many questions remain to be answered, but the knowledge obtained so far provides a firm foundation for future studies on the role of quorum-sensing mediated gene regulation in host-bacterium interactions.

Smoking is linked to heart failure. Quitting smoking may help improve your condition.
Smoking increases your risk for developing blood clots and heart disease, which can result in a heart attack, heart failure or stroke. Smoking causes your blood vessels to thicken. Fat and plaque then stick to the wall of your blood vessels, which makes it harder for blood to flow. Reduced blood flow to your heart may result in chest pain, high blood pressure, and an increased heart rate. Smoking is linked to lung disease and cancer, and can cause premature death. It is important for your health that you get information to help you quit smoking before you leave the hospital.
The chart above indicates the percentage of patients that received information to help them quit smoking before they left the hospital.

As the long, dark nights of winter continue to hold us in their thrall, it's time to start thinking about starting seeds.
Tropical varieties - such as peppers and eggplants - have long yield times and need to be protected from chilly May nights. You'll need to start them early and grow them to a decent size before planting outside, ideally in a container garden.
Because of their love of heat, these bold statement makers have a reputation for being tricky to grow in Alberta, but with a few care tips for how to maximize their exposure to sun, you'll be enjoying the best peppers and eggplant you've ever had.
From seed to seedling
Peppers are very high in vitamin C and beta carotene. They got their name when Columbus, who stumbled upon the spicy varieties cultivated by the Aztecs in the New World, mistook them for the black pepper from the Indies he had been seeking in his travels.
Eggplant has been cultivated in China since the 5th century BC and was grown in India for centuries until Moorish invaders introduced it to Spain. Although we most commonly see the black variety, you can also plant whites or purples from seed.
The best time to sow pepper and eggplant seeds indoors is before the end of February. Try to keep them as warm as you can during germination either near a sunny window or on an old, inefficient appliance that loses heat. When true leaves appear on your peppers (usually the third leaves), transplant them carefully into a 2.5-or three-inch container. Once the roots reach the bottom, you can transplant again into a slightly larger pot before transplanting them into your containers outside.
From seedling to harvest
These are heat lovers, so don't put them outside until at least two weeks after the last frost. They will need as much heat and light as possible to yield, so put them in the hottest spot possible and make sure to keep them watered.
Don't plant them into ground soil, which stays cool well into June, but in a black pot in the full sun to keep the roots toasty warm. Don't be shy about putting them in direct or reflected hot sun. Ideal days for these veggies are about 25 C with high humidity, especially for eggplant. Temperatures that are consistently below 15 to 20 C may shock the plants, and if it goes below about 10 C at night, developing blossoms may sustain damage. An optimal spot is near the home (or in a rooftop garden), where the pot can retain the day's heat throughout the night.
Both peppers and eggplants need consistently moist soil, which can be tricky given that they thrive on heat. Consider planting them in self-watering pots and put a generous layer of organic mulch on the surface. On top of helping stifle weeds, the mulch will slow down evaporation and help keep the surface roots moist.
In good company
If possible, try planting some companion plants next to them. Choosing the right companion benefits all the plants. Peppers grow very well alongside basil and tomatoes, while eggplant prefers the company of thyme and peas.
Tropical species like these are healthiest in a humid environment. Mist the leaves regularly to keep them healthy and their immune systems strong. If you have a water feature in your yard, consider growing them near it to increase the relative humidity. Give them regular feedings of vegetable fertilizer, with an extra helping of potassium to help the yield (middle number), but avoid excess nitrogen (first number) as it can lead to too many leaves and dropped flowers.
Misting will help, but you'll still have to keep an eye open for heart-shaped white flies on the leaves. Like most tropical varieties, peppers and eggplants haven't built a biological resistance to our pests.

TUSCALOOSA | A City Council committee on Tuesday voted to recommend the full council's approval of almost $2.6 million for two road projects. Most of the funding for the projects on Loop and Hargrove roads will come from state appropriations through the 2012 Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program.
TUSCALOOSA | A City Council committee on Tuesday voted to recommend the full council's approval of almost $2.6 million for two road projects.
Most of the funding for the projects on Loop and Hargrove roads will come from state appropriations through the 2012 Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program.
Specifically, $1.7 million — or 80 percent — of the $2.2 million total Loop Road project is coming through the program dollars. The remaining 20 percent, equal to $440,286, will be covered with local matching funds. While the city initially requested 50 percent funding for the work, the grant award came in at 80 percent funding.
Utility relocation for the project is under way after the city's completion in September of the necessary property acquisitions.
The work will widen Loop Road from Fairmont Drive to Woodland Road, smooth out some of the curves along that stretch and add a sidewalk to the road's south side.
Another part of the project is the addition of an underground pipe network and other upgrades to improve stormwater drainage, which that section of the road lacks.
Additionally, this work is separate from the 2013 Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program grants announced Monday. These awards will add improvements to Hargrove Road and Hackberry Lane for a total of $3.5 million and to a large stretch of 10th Avenue corridor for a total of $6.8 million.
City Hall is responsible for 20 percent of the total cost for each 2013 project.
"Overall, I think this is going to be a real good opportunity for the city," said Mayor Walt Maddox of the 2013 awards.
For the Hargrove Road project that was approved by the Public Projects Committee on Tuesday, this work will re-align the road's intersections with Prince and First avenues to create less of a traffic hazard.
City reserve money will cover the $398,702 construction contract with low bidder Price Construction Co. of Cottondale.
The realignment of the intersections was laid out in the Tuscaloosa Forward Generational Master Plan, unanimously approved by the City Council in April after months of public input.
The Generational Master Plan was developed as a means to implement the vision and direction of the Tuscaloosa Forward Strategic Rebuilding Plan that also was crafted with input from city residents and business owners.
Within the Generational Master Plan are detailed ways to overhaul parks, improve public access to technology and install a recreational walking trail throughout the tornado recovery zone.
Officials have said its full implementation will take decades — or generations — and require the use of public and private dollars.
Plans for the Loop Road project date back even further, to 2006, with the most recently finished phase — the stretch from Hargrove Road to Fairmont Drive — completed more than two years ago.
The city attempted to acquire rights of way for the final stage since that time, but some owners declined the purchase offers, based on current appraisals and fair market value.
However, the City Council moved to acquire the remaining properties in June through its eminent domain powers after the 2012 Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program grant awards were announced. This grant came with time restrictions that required officials to accelerate the land acquisition timetable.
After the city's Office of the City Engineer excised plans for a traffic circle from Loop Road's final phase, which required less land from nearby land owners, the eminent domain process was settled out of court.
A vote of the City Council on Sept. 18 completed the land acquisition agreements with all remaining land owners.

ASU eliminated from NCAA wrestling finals
The Arizona State wrestling team was eliminated from competition at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, following losses from the team's three remaining competitors on Friday.
Senior Levi Cooper was the only Sun Devil to earn a victory Friday, defeating Wisconsin's seventh-seeded Connor Medbery, 3-2, in an upset in the second round of the consolation bracket to advance to the next round.
There, Cooper faced The Citadel's Odie Delaney for a chance to stay alive but was pinned at the 5:18 mark of the contest and eliminated from the competition.
ASU's two other wrestlers in action were both eliminated in their first matches of the day in the consolation bracket.
Illinois wrestler Tony Dallago defeated redshirt sophomore Kevin Radford at 184 pounds in a major decision, 12-3, while redshirt senior Jake Meredith was knocked out of the competition in a 6-3 decision to Maryland's Christian Boley.
ASU will finish the competition with 4.0 points, though the team's final placement will not be official until the conclusion of the weekend's event.

Our New Ad in Wend
We have never really considered advertising in publications outside of cycling, not that they we had anything against them, but usually they are more pricey than we can afford. Wend is an outdoor magazine, but not quite the behemoth that Outside is. They asked repeatedly for us to be in it. We read the freebie issues they sent us and were quite awed by the stories and photos adventure and wanderlust. Our interest was piqued, but kind of forgot about it for a while. But then we just happened to connect with photographer/adventurer Rick Gunn around the same time. He offered to let us use some of the photos from his trip around the world. That's him with his Soma Groove in the background.
Our first ad is in Issue 2 which features photos from the wekeepgoing.com guys and the one above with Rick will be in Issue 3. Try to find Wend on the newstand. Tell us what you think of the magazine. We want to get an idea how many bike riding people read it/like it, etc.

Nathan Kurz necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 346 diseños de 72 diseñadores freelance.
We're looking for a logo for our sorbet company. Similar to ice cream or gelato, sorbet is a frozen dessert made from fresh fruit. We currently sell at Farmers' Markets in the Bay Area of California, and are looking to develop a new logo before opening a store.
The logo will be used in a number of places: product packaging, business cards, letterhead, signage and banners. We want something flexible. If it helps to think of a particular use, picture it as the sign over the door of a new store you haven't seen before: what's going to make you want to come inside?
We are looking for new and exciting directions. No need to provide small variations on the same logo. And please don't copy other entries: we want lots of ideas!
- We want a logo that conveys: Gourmet, Delicious, Friendly, Pure, Local, Organic, and Intense.
- The logo should represent us as Innovative and Sophisticated. The product is original and of extremely high quality, and we want an image that conveys this.- We want a logo that includes the text "Scream". Upper case, mixed case, or lower case, whatever looks best to you. The font should be distinctive and legible, but hand drawn lettering is allowable.
- We want a logo with graphical icon that can be used independently of the text "Scream". The icon should be distinctive even when used in single-color at a small size.
- While our emphasis is on sorbet, we want a logo that can also be used other gourmet foods such as chocolate, jams, and pastries.
- Gradients. Logo can use multiple solid colors, but must be legible in single-color and two-color variations.- Ice Cream Cones. We sell our sorbet is small cups, and don't want to confuse our customers with a logo that uses cones.- Pretentiousness. We sell a top-quality product in a friendly low-key way. We want a look that matches the name "Scream".

Evan Soltas at Bloomberg View tries to debunk the notion that America isn't spending enough on its basic infrastructure. The argument is a bit unconvincing and amounts to showing that U.S. infrastructure spending is about average—"U.S. public investment has tracked the OECD average since at least 1970." It strikes me as extremely plausible that the average OECD country underspends on public investment.
But where he is persuasive is that contrary to the impression you often get from the media, the trend in infrastructure quality is in the right direction. The share of vehicle-miles traveled on "good" or better highways has risen, the share of "poor" roads has fallen, the share of "deficient" bridges has fallen, the share of "congested" interstates has fallen. As a lifelong resident of the Northeast Corridor I don't like to play the east coast elite card, but having just returned from Texas I do wonder if there isn't something of an NYC/D.C. bubble playing a role here. In recentish trips to Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee the basic quality of the sunbelt roadways has struck me as markedly higher than what you see in the Northeast Corridor. We're coping here in the northeast with an incredible level of population density and a lot of thorny legacy issues that plausibly leave us lagging behind the national average and give media and political figures an excessively pessimistic sense of the overall national situation.

WebSocket is a part of the upcoming HTML5 web standards. It allows a web browser and a web server to have a persistent, two-way full-duplex connection using just one TCP connection. It does this by starting a regular HTTP connection and then effectively renegotiating it into its more flexible underlying TCP connection. This gives it good chances to traverse firewalls, effectively giving us back the full power of the Internet.
In this way, it is an evolution and replacement of Comet, which is a collection of hacks to use Ajax to simulate persistent HTTP connections. WebSocket improves over Comet by being standardised, much cleaner and more scalable. It does, however, require explicit support by both the server and the client. Currently, only Chrome 4 has WebSocket support. It is planned for Firefox and Safari. The latter means the WebKit rendering engine and that means WebSocket can be ported to Syllable's browser Webster.
The Syllable project intends to use this framework in its web infrastructure. The Cheyenne WebSocket framework is available in its SVN version. A WebSocket echo demo program is available here.

Of course they can silly
Now in my normal basic discussion that would be enough to cover the point however as people value numbers over accuracy I'll indulge a bit further
Again let me clarify...asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction..it is not the lack of ability, not a lack of want (for mostly partner pleasure reasons) nor is it an inability to relate to others within a relationship.
Firstly a missconception I often see..."If only I could find another asexual, I know I could make a relationship work".....this is bolloxs to be honest.
Asexuality is just a very small part of who you are and even then within asexuals there are some that are sex positive, some that are sexually repulsed, some that are aromantic..and the list goes on...if you can find a compatible person for a relationship and they happen to be asexual then your lottery numbers may have come up..but...even compatible people sometimes have rows, down days, differences etc and you must accept within any relationship ....these exist...two asexuals is just unlikely/likely to succeed as two sexuals or a sexual and an asexual
So given the small number of real asexuals...I still feel it's way less than 1%...then it is probably going to be a relationship with a sexual person.....ooo nooo they all want sex all the timmmmmmmeeeeeee...here is a hint..they don't
If your really lucky and I do mean lucky..you will find a person..asexual or sexual..with whom you will have more compatible days than not.
Are their difficulties...in one area there may be discussion...you cannot assume every asexual does not want sex..(again there is a difference between wanting sex to please a partner and the lack of sexual attraction) and you cannot assume every sexual wants to hump every 5 minutes...in fact with sexuals in a relationship with other sexuals...in general the longer they stay together the less they tend to have sex.
Again it comes back to compatibility...look through a certain forum and you will see some asexuals demanding their sexual partners respect their asexuality..again they confuse having sex with the lack of sexual attraction. In demanding a sexual partner abide by your way of life that isn't a partnership...that is you controlling your partner. How can you demand they respect you when you ignore them and their wishes????? sexuals have an equal stake in that relationship working. Again..asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction.....not an inability to compromise.
Again this comes back to compatibility and the secret of any relationship...achieving as many compromises as you both wish to offer, in the hope you get it right more times than not.
An asexual and sexual relationship is very unlikely to fail just on asexuality alone, many many more factors will be responsible...in the same gesture though.... being an asexual in a relationship with a sexual can be just as rewarding as any other
Most of my own relationships have been with sexuals, I say most. I always declare my asexuality at the earliest possible stage if for no other reason than to give the other person the respect I would wish at the outset. I am sex positive but have always preferred a cup of tea over a shag...most have been willing to understand my identity as I have of theirs and with all but a few, we have managed to reach an understanding way to compromise and move forward on with the relationship
Relationships wether your asexual or sexual are like having a bank account....you only get back what you put in
Can asexuals have relationships with sexuals
General discussion about relationship issues.

Re: Can asexuals have relationships with sexuals
So much common sense! There's little to nothing I can add. I agree that asexuals view of sexuals permanently thinking about and wanting sex is a false one, probably comes from the many reports that men think of sex every so many seconds but that's stupid, most of the men I've been out with gave more consideration to sport
Like you I could have sex with my partners - it was much easier when I'd had a few drinks but I don't drink any more. Just as well I've given up on relationships...or have they given up on me? And yes, there are many things I'd rather do than have sex but that's part of the accommodation you make whem you think a lot of someone - or in my case trying to keep someone as I didn't want to be alone.

Police search for prisoner who escaped during medical transport
A $5,000 reward is being offered
A $5,000 reward is being offered
A $5,000 reward is being offered
Authorities are searching for a prisoner who escaped by shoving a guard to the ground when exiting a van by a medical center, a county spokeswoman said.
David M. Watson, 28, was being transported around 9:40 a.m. Saturday to the hospital by the Wicomico County Detention Center when he escaped custody and fled into a wooded area.
Police are offering a reward of $5,000 for information.
"He escaped before they ever made it into the hospital or ever made contact with the hospital from the parking lot area," Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn said.
Police said handcuffs and a waist chain were found on the location where the van was parked.
The guards' weapons were secured in lockboxes inside the van, and police don't believe Watson is armed.
Watson has numerous tattoos, including "EVIL" on the back of his neck as well as face tattoos between his eyes and under his right eye and several body tattoos. A tattoo that says "SIN" is on his hand.
He is described as a white man who is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. Police said at 2 p.m. Saturday that there hadn't been any confirmed sightings of Watson since his escape. Police suspended the ground search Saturday afternoon after exhausting all search efforts in the immediate area, but the investigation to find him continues with help from U.S. Marshals and Maryland State Police.
Every article of clothing Watson was wearing was white and had no markings. Anyone who sees a man matching Watson's description should call 911.
County police said they have no indication whether Watson planned the escape in advance or if it was an impulsive act. They also said there's no indication that he has any contacts in the area.
Watson is currently serving a sentence of more than 100 years in Delaware.
Wicomico County correctional officers picked up Watson Thursday in Delaware. The Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office told WBAL-TV that the correctional officers transported Watson to the Jessup facility Friday for a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation.
Court records show a Maryland judge deemed Watson incompetent to stand trial in Maryland, where he is charged with attempted murder, accused of firing shots at the homes of three police officers.

Hello people my name is Yusuf and I am from Australia,
This is a great site and overwhelmed by the great information provided,
Here are a few of my birds from
What are your opinions on there origin ?
I started off with 2 pairs now I have inbred multiple copys from pair brother sister,
But in process of training and out of 15 baby's they are all performance wise somewhat different bbut carry traits I noticed each set of young them.two are different to the next lot so on but all carry close markings and colors are same with what we call percem and cift biyikli (beard)
I'm yet to see any of them out perform there grandparents ,
Which I originally starred off the two pairs from,
I dont no if im being impatient but also my flying schedule is really poor ,
I can only fly them ALL one by one on weekends
As limits performance to extresmly slow progress
Some in the bunch already at 3-4 months
Cant take off from the ground which really sucks
I pluck there tails and throw them down the street Hoping a prediotor won't get it they manage to pull out of tumbles and fly normal untill landing ,
Tumbling so much ridiculous like the wings are going to pop out blood hoping not,
Others are flying well but lazy on still tail riding but clapping 5-10 meters very slowly I see progress every two weeks ,
But I have many questions on what my birds origin is and if they are the correct breed
That vertically climbs
My original pair now grandparents pulled vertically sky high
Son and daughter also
The same with more combinations
Hopes are high like us all, as we have limited
Bloodlines where live and many are crossed
These are some of my chickens
Opinions appreciated specifically on origin and what performance type can I expect maybe?
I also have videos but don't no how to upload yet
I love my birds regardless and want to learn more how to breed the vertical climbing gene in them,

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With the heart of the Atlantic Sun Conference schedule approaching, Lipscomb is set to add nine games to the ESPN3 slate of events including five men's basketball and four women's basketball games.
The first broadcast directly from Allen Arena's new completed broadcast center is set for Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m. when the Bisons host Kennesaw State. Mercer then comes to the "Music City" on the 26th with both ends of the doubleheader being aired.
"We continue to enjoy the strong relationship developed between ESPN and the Atlantic Sun Conference," said A-Sun commissioner Ted Gumbart. "This is the second opportunity for us to enhance the number of basketball contests that will be delivered on the national stage, once again providing well-deserved exposure for our talented student-athletes, their teams and all A-Sun member institutions. We are delighted to partner with Lipscomb in these productions, and thank Lipscomb's President, Dr. Randolph Lowry, and Director of Athletics Philip Hutcheson for their strong leadership on this initiative."

From Gramps
Can anyone tell me how to add Richard Bos's repository in YAST (OpenSUSE 10.3) so that I can get Gramps there?
- Please, post this question to the devel or user list, see Contact. I guess you can download the noarch and just click it top install, but I don't run SUSE so just guessing here. Note that you need 2.2.9 (just out), 2.2.8 crashes on 10.3
- 2.2.8 didn't crash on OpenSuse 10.3 !!! I don't have internet on last OpenSuse, but I think like previous release : add additional repository (domaine + path), (look at mailing list archives).I don't like the new default menu but you can add "old gnome menu" and maybe you will find yast options more easily ...
I found the answer - use the "Specify URL" option to add the repository and enter the URL as "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rbos/openSUSE_10.3/" THe domain + directory method does not seem to work (I suspect because of the "home:/" in the URL)
Woodsmoke here:
I would like to compliment the people who made this wiki page. It is very understandable, and very well written.

Borderlands 2 (Sleepless) Review
Normally I am a reasonably intelligent person, but every now and then I do something probably best described as stupid. This last one I did is a playthrough of Borderlands 2, without sleep, and am writing this review also without sleep (though I have updated and edited it since then). Honestly, it seemed like a good idea when I thought of it, and I was not able to come up with a good reason to not do it. So here I am, going on about 39 hours without sleep, and about 29 hours, 40 minutes of that within Borderlands 2. Before actually getting to the review, I want to make something clear. My playthrough was not complete. I did finish the campaign (once, so aside from the After Sleep Updates, everything in this review refers to the Normal Mode playthrough and not True Vault Hunter Mode) but not all of the side missions. Also I did not always clear out areas, opting instead to sprint through them to save time.
Borderlands 2 is the sequel to the Gearbox Software 2009 game, Borderlands 1. The original Borderlands 1 almost defies classification based on common genres as it combines elements of action games, first-person shooters, and role-playing games. The developers combined the ideas of these distinct genres so well that to describe the game with an emphasis on one would be a disservice to the game. Borderlands 2 takes place on the same planet as the original game, Pandora, and includes many of the original characters, but the player plays as one of four (soon to be five) new characters. Many of the characteristics that made Borderlands 1 a success have been carefully brought back in their original form or after some evolution. I am choosing the word 'evolution' here because I do believe that a good way to describe Borderlands 2 is as an evolution of the original game.
