The 1950 comedy "Harvey" is the kind of gimmicky story Hollywood manufactures with alacrity today.
It's the tale of a simple man who believes his drinking buddy is a six foot-plus rabbit. Wacky high jinks ensue. Fade to black.
What "Harvey" offers above and beyond its one-line pitch is a gangbusters script based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Mary Chase and a performance by James Stewart that offers different shadings in virtually every scene.
The film arrives on Blu-ray today as part of Universal's 100 year celebration, and it's a wonder to watch it anew in its original glory.
Harvey never looked so … lifelike.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, a genial lush who spends his days chatting with an oversized rabbit only he can see. The very notion of the imaginary Harvey drives Elwood's older sister Veta (Josephine Hull who won an Oscar for the role) to the breaking point. Her brother is an embarrassment to the family, and she cannot tolerate it any more. So she gently escorts him to a local sanitarium where he can get the help he richly needs.
That trip sets off a series of comedic missteps and misunderstandings, the kind leavened by Stewart's dry charisma and the film's crisp pacing. Stewart pulls more than a rabbit of his hat in "Harvey." He teases out different emotions from Elwood without any cheap theatrical ploys. There's a sadness within the character, the kind of soul decay that makes him engage the world with a convivial spirit that never wavers.
To hear Elwood wax on about his life philosophies is to witness an actor fully engaged in a story that might have been treated as a lark by lesser talents.
Is Harvey real? Could he simply be a symptom of Elwood's bar hopping – even though Elwood never slurs a word? Or is Elwood the most well adjustment character in the story?
Chase's yarn strikes a remarkably modern tone despite its age. The conflicts between the doctor (Charles Drake) attempting to treat Elwood and his faithful nurse (Peggy Dow) are raw and not easily solved by a final act embrace. And the anger flashing between sanitarium officials isn't the kind typically seen in older, more genial productions.
The film's whimsical flourishes are restrained and serve the story, not a series of cheap laughs.
The Blu-ray extras include a 1990 recorded message from Stewart sharing his embrace of both the film and that curious co-star.
"You can see that all of us accept the existence of this rabbit, that's what Mrs. Chase had in mind when she wrote the play," he says in his scratchy but always warm drawl.

Pesticide Residues in Organic Food — Delivering on a Promise
June 3, 2014
By Chuck Benbrook
Avoiding pesticide exposure and risks remains the #1 reason most people choose organic food. This is not likely to change until there is convincing data that show only modest differences between the pesticide dietary risks associated with residues in and on organic food, compared to conventionally grown food.
Pesticide risk is a function of four interactive variables: the inherent toxicity of a specific pesticide, the level at which it is present in a given food, how much of the food is consumed in a typical day, and the timing of the exposure in terms of a person's life history. Fortunately, much is known now about the frequency and levels of pesticides in commonly consumed foods (conventional and organic), as well as pesticide toxicity. In addition, ongoing research continues to discover and unravel factors that increase the risk stemming from a given pesticide exposure episode, like pregnancy, a compromised immune system, or certain genetic polymorphisms.
Using risk assessment methods based on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) science policies and data on pesticide toxicity, the Measure to Manage (M2M) program has built and applied a pesticide Dietary Risk Index (DRI) system to residues in conventionally grown and organic foods, and also domestically grown versus imported foods.
With my colleague Brian Baker, I have published an open-access paper in the journal Sustainability analyzing the pesticide residues found in organic foods by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's highly regarded Pesticide Data Program (PDP).
Our Sustainability paper provides an overview of all residues found in organic food in the last decade. We used four categories to characterize all residues found in organic food: legacy contaminants like the long-banned organochlorine insecticides, fungicides used post-harvest in packing sheds, pesticides approved for use on certified organic farms, and "other" pesticide residues.
In domestically-grown organic food from 2002-2011, post-harvest fungicides and legacy chemicals accounted for just under 50% of the total 905 residue detected. Organic farmers have little control over either of these sources of residues. Another 197 residues were found of pesticides allowed for use on organic farms – mostly the bioinsecticide spinosad. "Other" residues accounted for 29.2% (265) of the total number of residues detected (905).
The core of our paper assesses the impact of current National Organic Program (NOP) policies and requirements that target pesticide residues in organic food. We address the degree to which the NOP, organic rules, and certifiers are helping to avoid pesticide residues that pose even modest levels of risk.
Current NOP policy allows food to be sold as organic as long as it contains residues of a prohibited pesticide that are below 5% of the applicable EPA tolerance. We assessed the degree to which this policy targets relatively high-risk residues, and concluded it does not.
We also introduced a new concept that we feel will help the NOP and certifiers better target efforts to continuously drive down pesticide risks in organic food. We define "Inadvertent" residues in organic food as those over which the organic farmer has little or no control — residues in soil or irrigation water, residues that drift onto an organic field from a nearby conventional farm, or residues that find their way onto organic food during packing, storage, or shipment (like post-harvest fungicides).
We found that the vast majority of "inadvertent" residues are present at levels far below those found in conventional foods – 10-times to 1,000-times lower. We show that the vast majority poses very modest risk, and hence should not be the primary target of NOP and certifier enforcement actions focused on reducing pesticide risks.
Our analysis leads to three encouraging conclusions –
- Consumers hoping to reduce pesticide dietary exposures and risk through seeking out organic fruits and vegetables are accomplishing this objective;
- The majority of residues found in organic food are low, or very-low risk inadvertent residues over which the farmer has little control; and
- Data and tools now exist for the organic community to systematically target and avoid possibly risky pesticide residues in organic food, although some changes in NOP policy and requirements will be needed to fully exploit new knowledge in the effort to drive down pesticide risks.
Our paper is one of 12 in a special issue of the journal Sustainability focused on organic food and farming. All the papers are free to download (i.e., "Open Access"). WSU graduate Jennifer Reeves, now at Utah State University, served as the Guest Editor for this special issue. Here are the abstracts of all 12 papers.

Interesting, thanks!
Kathleen Katz said on June 19, 2014:
As I spend the extra money for organic food more and more often,in an attempt to improve our health, it is gratifying to know the pesticides realty are not there.
Sage said on May 1, 2015:
I'm personally on a glyphosate-free diet, because i think glyphosate is causing disruption of the human gut microbiome and making people less healthy and more anxious and mean. Glyphosate blocks the shikimic acid pathway in plants and also in the microbes in our gut. We may see something like 100 micrograms per day in a typical American diet in this Age of Glyphosate, and this is a relevant dose that may affect the microbial population balance of our guts, enabling pathogens like Pseudomonas to take over. We *really* need scientific studies on the effects of glyphosate on mammal gut microbiomes. It's a shame and a failure that such studies were not done *before* glyphosate entered our food stream in a huge way. In fact, it's criminal negligence on the part of Monsanto. Let's do the science *now* and if it proves to be changing the gut microbiome then let's get it banned for food crops, and let's sue Monsanto for failure to perform due diligence.
Dan Griffin said on November 18, 2016:
really…you're not going to point out that the substitute organic pesticide and herbicide residues were not analyzed, and that they may be more toxic? Disingenuous.

Engadget Mobile picked up an old rumor that Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy 2 at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The tip was originally posted on AndroPhones.com several weeks ago and the site included the render seen above. I'm not so sure how reliable the source is, but Samsung told us to expect many more Android phones in 2010.
Samsung has yet to release a high-end Android phone, so it would be exciting if this turns out to be true. We should have several correspondents on the ground at MWC so check back mid February for an update.
The rumored specs include:
- 1 GHz Snapdragon
- 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen
- 5 MP camera
- 32 GB internal memory
- Android 2.1
- 3.5 mm jack

It's hard to believe 25 years have passed since Michael Jackson released Bad, the much-anticipated followup to his megahit Thriller. While it didn't match Thriller's record-setting sales, it sold 30 to 45 million copies worldwide and spawned five No. 1 singles.
Unlike Thriller and its predecessor, Off the Wall, Bad serves as a artifact of its time, a period where synthesizers and programmed drums dominated pop music. While receiving generally positive reviews, Bad still withstood some criticism: "It was an inevitable anticlimax after Thriller, offering more variations than advances," states the 2004 Rolling Stone Album Guide. "The album was full of forced poses that started with the title song; people who are 'really really bad,' don't say so backed by a chipmunk chorus. But the music had lots of small pleasures."
Bad 25, a new box set arriving today, offers listeners the opportunity to reevaluate the album, free from the "will it top Thriller?" speculation of 1987. In addition to the remastered album, the deluxe edition includes another CD of demos and remixes, a DVD of a previously unreleased 1988 Wembley Stadium concert, and the accompanying CD. Two extensive booklets, a full-color poster, and a Bad 25 decal round out the package, held in a black box with a magnetic closure. Jackson fans will undoubtedly want to own this collection, but it also allows casual fans to reassess the album's place in the music — and Jackson — history.
The remastered album presents the material in crystal-clear sound, exposing Siedah Garrett's previously buried harmonies on "Man in the Mirror" and the hammering beat of "The Way You Make Me Feel." This version dramatically fleshes out the sterile, flat sound of the original release, breathing new life into very familiar tunes. "Speed Demon's" twitchy beat, accompanied by Jackson's raspy vocals, adds impact to the fun track. He proves he can sing ballads well, his sighs and breathy voice enhancing the sensuality of "Liberian Girl."
[SOMETHING ELSE! REWIND: As Michael Jackson's face was reshaped, so was our image of him. It's too bad: The music, in many ways, remained bigger than his missteps.]
One inescapable element, however, is Bad's over-reliance on synthesizers, electronic effects, and programed drums. It would have been interesting for Jackson to rerecord the songs using real instruments and minimalist arrangements; therefore songs such as "Dirty Diana" would have benefited more from Jackson's snarling vocals and rock guitarist Steve Steven's searing solos. Tragically, that will never happen, but one cannot help but wonder if different production would have earned Bad the same timeless status as Thriller or Off the Wall.
Demos which did not make the final cut appear on the second disc. Clearly, Jackson could have released a classic R&B album full of ballads; he even experimented with Latin rhythms on such breezy tracks as "Free" and "Don't be Messin' 'Round." Comparing the final album to gentle songs such as "I'm So Blue" and the sweeping "Fly Away," it's clear that Jackson eventually elected to go in a tougher direction on Bad. But defiance is present on "Price of Fame," a scathing indictment on a celebrity's loss of privacy and an example of his ever-increasing isolation and paranoia. "I feel the pressure setting in," he cries over a throbbing, keyboard-driven beat.
One of the most fascinating tracks remains "Al Capone," a heavy funk workout that gradually evolved into "Smooth Criminal." The bass line and chords vaguely resemble the final version, but the lyrics differ greatly. These demos shed light on Jackson's creative process, although more outtakes would be more welcome than the other filler tracks: French and Spanish versions of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (do we really need both versions?), a Nero remix of "Speed Demon," and two more remixes of "Bad."
Also included is a DVD of his July 16, 1988 Wembley Stadium concert (Prince Charles and Princess Diana were in attendance). The source is a VHS recording, so the visual quality does not live up to our DVD/Blue Ray standards. Yet, it shows Jackson in his ultra-precise glory, flawlessly executing each moment of the show. A pre-fame Sheryl Crow serves as his duet partner on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and struts across the stage during a bonus performance of "The Way You Make Me Feel." The rest of the band plus several backup dancers/singers ably support Jackson as he tears through then-current and classic hits, often dramatically pausing in the middle of tunes for effect. Sweat pouring down his face, Jackson dazzles the audience with his rubber-like legs and Bob Fosse-worthy footwork. Unfortunately the band almost exactly replicates the electronic sound of Bad, but his enthusiasm still enraptures the crowd. At a few points, he lets his guard down slightly, broadly grinning during "Rock with You" and introducing the band with smiles and jokes.
Bonus features include two performances of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "Bad" from early in the tour, specifically Yokohama Stadium in September 1987. Hopefully, this entire show will be released someday, as it shows Jackson in a looser frame of mind, apparently not as concerned about being absolutely perfect. That results in a happier Jackson with less elaborate stage costumes and more genuine emotion. By the time he reached Wembley the following year, the show had become a well-oiled machine. Want to simply listen to the concert? A CD of the entire performance is included. Since Jackson's innovative music videos are so closely interconnected with his songs, a DVD containing all the Bad-era videos would have provided yet another perspective on the entire album.
Even though Jackson's die-hard fans presumably already own Bad, the deluxe edition will appeal to them due to the demos and Wembley concert. Casual fans may not appreciate the rare material as much, but they will enjoy listening to a welcome remaster of the original album. Finally, the Wembley footage further demonstrates why Jackson is considered one of music's finest performers. At the very least, Bad 25 allows listeners to decide for themselves whether Bad stands with his finest work, or mostly exists as a solid pop album containing many memorable singles.

text: With the fall of the rand, high fuel prices, South Africans are being won over by smaller, fuel-efficient cars and downsizing on big SUV's.JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - South African's love of large, fuel-guzzling cars is taking a back seat in the face of record petrol prices, one of the more visible ways in which a sharp drop in the rand is changing the face of Africa's largest economy.Car sales have been one of the few growth sectors during 2013 as South Africa struggles to shake off the after-effects of the 2009 recession but increasingly it is smaller, more efficient, models that are finding their way on to the roads.PETROL DEMAND DECREASEA 16% fall in the rand against the dollar in 2013, including a four-year low of 10.51 in August, drove local petrol prices to a lifetime high of R13.55 a litre in August - more than double the price in early 2009. As a result, South Africa's total demand for petrol fell by a whopping 37% from April to July 2013, according to import data, as people stayed at home, shared rides or traded down to cheaper vehicles.The local unit of Japanese auto giant Toyota, the biggest car manufacturer in South Africa, says 98% of sales of its popular Fortuner SUV are diesel. Diesel cars are normally more efficient than their petrol-driven counterparts. Toyota spokesperson Leo Kok said: "Where people are more affluent, they are trading out of your luxury cars or big sedans into SUV's such as the Fortuner, and again the trend is towards diesel."Industry data shows two-thirds of passenger sales are now small vehicles; that figure was 61% in 2009. Over that time, the smallest models have increased their market share to 25% from 16%.As well as pushing buyers towards smaller, more-efficient cars, the weak currency should help domestic manufacturers as cheap Asian imports become more expensive and locally made products start to look more reasonable.Coenraad Bezuidenhout of the Manufacturing Circle, a factory lobby group, said: "The weaker rand helps to make it more difficult for unfairly incentivised products coming in cheaply from the east to compete in our domestic market."MANUFACTURING RECOVERYSouth Africa's purchasing managers' index, a forward-looking gauge of sentiment among manufacturers, hit a six-year high in August, and in July manufacturing output surged to 5.4% year-on-year from 0.5% the previous month.Although the deeply traded emerging-market currency remains vulnerable to shifts in global portfolio flows as the US gets ready to begin reining in its economic stimulus, standard economics suggests the rand should bounce back. With consumers avoiding expensive imported goods and with South African exports becoming more competitive, the balance of trade should recover, plugging a deficit in the current account which grew to a hefty 6.5% of GDP in the second quarter of 2013.However, as with other emerging markets, the big question is when the current account will start to respond in earnest.Elna Moolman of Macquarie Securities said: "I firmly believe the current account will narrow meaningfully in response to the weaker rand, although this will probably occur with a reasonably long delay of at least a year."

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is the sequel to one of Nintendo's sleeper hits. The first Advance Wars featured intense turn-based strategy, innovative gameplay and anime-style graphics. There was no other strategy game on the Game Boy until now.
Advance Wars 2 is an expansion of the original Advance Wars with many new features and added abilities. The storyline of Advance Wars 2 is that the Black Hole Army is trying to dominate the globe again. The original cast of characters return to Advance Wars 2, (Sami, Andy, Max, Grit, Sonja, Eagle) with a couple new ones (Hawke, Lash, Flak). The characters in Advance Wars 2 have many different personality types: cranky, arrogant, intelligent, fun, and so on.
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising adds more units and has different buildings than the first one. The best way to describe Advance Wars is chess on a battlefield. You have units (tanks, helicopters, military troops, etc.) at your command individually. Each unit has its own movements for each turn. For instance, infantry units might be able to move three spaces but a helicopter can move double or more. The land also plays a factor. Tanks won't be able to cross mountains and rivers but infantry has no problem at all. All units have advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses fighting other units. The primary goal of the mission is: wipe out the enemy, or capture their base. The same task will be accomplished by completing either of the objectives, so the choice is up to the player. Generally though, the player doesn't have a choice; you must do what is best for the mission and concentrate on completing the objective that has the highest success rate.
One of the additional units added is the missile silo. Missile silos are spread around the maps; some maps may have them some may not. Bringing up any infantry unit to the silo will allow you to launch one missile anywhere on the map. When the missile hits, it will damage up to 9 spaces. Each silo only has one rocket. Missile silos have no affiliation with anyone so whoever gets to them first gets to use them.
One of the game's best aspects is the ability to make your army grow. After the first mission or two you'll really get into this. You'll have to produce many tanks and military troops if you plan on surviving. That is why money is very important and earned every turn. You earn money on the amount of property you have. You earn money for every building captured, and you will earn 1000 points every turn you control them. So commanding and conquering is very important in the game.
In single-player campaign you choose one of the available maps. There are 5 continents where missions take place. Each continent has 5 to 7 missions. You try to earn enough points to buy some multiplayer maps. As you play you will unlock new War Room maps which are stand-alone missions that can be replayed for better rankings. You can play to earn points in the War Room, or you can battle friends, and possibly face COs in Vs. Mode. There are endless options, and many things for you to do after beating single-player campaign.
The overall appearance of Advance Wars 2 is very well done. By the looks of the game they put more time into developing better graphics. Although this isn't a very graphic-intensive game, the graphics are great for being processed by a handheld system. The graphics on end screen, start screen, and design screen are well done, and the side-by-side attack animations look great. The map isn't cluttered with special effects that aren't needed.
The sound in Advance Wars 2 includes great music and voice clips at the end game screen. It seems like the music inspires you just to play better. There are also many more actions that offer a music change or a different type of music to be played while in the game. All in all, it's a great and outstanding soundtrack in Advance Wars 2. The same 16-bit quality music beats from start to finish.
Final Verdict
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is a fantastic strategy game and well worth the addition to anyone's Game Boy Advance collection. The Split-screen and replay value are great, but if you are looking for a mindless game, this is not the right choice for you. I also think this would be a great game to come to GameCube for a multiplayer online game.

Art Deco / Art Nouveau
Art Deco is a relatively young style that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. It owes its existence to France and the French, and it used to represent the combination of modern and neoclassical styles in architecture, fashion and art. Then, in the 1970s, the term "Art Deco" was extended to also mean a style of interior design. This style's characteristic feature is the seemingly impossible fusion of classical straight lines and strict forms with the asymmetry of luxury and splendour. Art Deco interior design implies an abundance of expensive, exotic materials, plenty of curved lines, mythical paintings and tapestries of dragons and peacocks. Art Deco is considered to be the most original style of interior design, it leans toward ostentatious luxury and splendour and absolutely does not tolerate asceticism or minimalism. When decorating in this style, designers often use inclusive fountains, podiums, forged lattice, exotic fans, marble decorations and stained glass. Art Deco furniture also has to be unique in appearance and very rich - created using light wood, genuine leather, chromium-plating.

Carriers are the Biggest Threat to Innovation
Before the advent of the iPhone, cellular carriers had very specific regulations on what they would and would not allow on their networks and the mobile phone producers were slaves to the carriers' demands. The iPhone seemed to turn that around, however, as Apple had released the device to cater to the customers rather than the carriers. Unfortunately, the industry is in a backslide as carriers become even more heavy-handed in regulating the next generation of mobile devices.
Cisco's New Cloud Service Plays Nanny
Cisco's new cloud service, Cisco Connect Cloud, has been rolled out by the company to routers all over the world recently and users are finding that the service is somewhat restrictive. In the terms of service for the service, Cisco forces users to comply with restrictions against digital piracy and pornography, among other things. Failure to abide by these regulations could result in losing access to the service and the administrative functions it provides.
British Airways Wants to Google You
Under the auspices of using the information to deliver a "more personal touch" to customers, British Airways has begun use of a program called "Know Me" that pro-actively searches for photos and records of passengers. This has created quite a buzz in the Internet community, however, because many customers take offense at having their personal information browsed and analyzed by outsiders simply because they purchased a plane ticket.
Amazon Going Cellular?
Amazon's flagship tablet device, the Kindle Fire, has been the center of attention for the company in addition to their popular online shopping platform. However, rumors abound of an Amazon smartphone currently in development, likely supported by the Kindle's Android shell OS or something like it. With Amazon's powerful app store and media delivery services already established, the company certainly has the infrastructure to support an entry into the market, but time will tell if the public is interested in yet another smartphone.
Polaroid is Making a Comeback into the Digital Age
Most people over the age of 20 can remember a time when Polaroid photos were a novelty and a convenience. Photos developed instantly, on-site, without the need of a 1-hour photo development shop or lengthy mail order processing. These days, most people own a digital camera and can easily print photos with a color printer in their own home, but sometimes nothing less than instant gratification will suffice. Enter the new Polaroid Z2300: a small form factor digital camera with a built-in printer that produces business card-sized photo prints within about 30 seconds of taking the shot.

Have you ever flipped through the Victoria Secret catalog cutting out pictures of the prettiest women and pasting them to your fridge? If you're a man, I hope not. If you're a woman, I'd bet so. Almost every woman believes that being forced to stare at scantily clad models will release her inner health-conscious self. She'll become, in the face of perfection, a nutritious eater and avid exerciser. It's a common enough practice that you'd think it would work, but it turns out shoving beauty in your face might be the exact opposite of what you want to do.
When researchers at the University of Bath polled 281 undergraduate students (male and female), they found that picturing yourself as unattractive was the strongest motivator for exercise. Those who harbored a fear of becoming ugly were more likely to stick with a workout schedule until they saw results. And if signs of hideousness (a paunchy belly, flappy arms) were already appearing or still present, the self-loathers were even more moved to move. So try replacing the underwear models with pictures of you, at your ugliest, in your underwear. Make sure that the flab is really dominant and, if you can, highlight the cellulite. Turn going to the fridge into a horrifying slideshow, and you just might close the door, opting for the treadmill instead.
Of course, if you find that self-hatred is too much of a daily downer, there are other ways to motivate yourself, such as:
• Charge yourself – every time you miss a workout, empty your wallet. Give ten bucks to charity or to your kids. When the cash starts dwindling, you may find yourself jogging that extra mile.

Where the student she has an affair with ... starts sleeping with her daughter.
Sharon Stone made her name with sexed-up suspense films like Basic Instinct and Sliver, and despite the 2006 misfire Basic Instinct 2, she's ready to return to the genre. THR reports that Stone has signed onto Attachment, directed by American History X helmer Tony Kaye (who also made the upcoming Detachment ... that won't be confusing at all!) and she'll play a married woman who has a one-night stand with a student who then dates her daughter and menaces her family. So, crossed arms instead of uncrossed legs?

A fog gate is a wall of grey or white fog, which seperates different areas from each other. They also appear, before you encounter Bosses.
General Role
When you get close enough to a fog gate, you can choose to traverse the white light and enter a new area or a new room. In this case the fog clears and you don't have to traverse the fog again, to move from one area to another.
But be careful, if you went through a fog gate, which is leading to the confrontation with a boss-demon, it won't clear and is unpassable until you slayed the demon. By doing so the fog clears. The only exeption is the fog wall which you have to traverse before encountering Seath the Scaleless the first time. During that fight you can leave the room at any time, because you can't win the fight (losing the fight is necessary in order to progress through the game).
There are several orange fog gates in the game which can only be lifted by obtaining and placing the Lordvessel at the Altar.
These fog gates can be found in Anor Londo, Tomb of the Giants and Demon Ruins.
Role during Multiplayer
When you summon other players to assist you or if you are forcibly invaded in any way, all fog gates in the area reappear idependent from the fact that you cleared them or not. These fog gates are impassable, with the exception being the one leading to a boss.
To lift those walls, you have two options:
- proceed to the area's boss and defeat it (passing through the boss' fog gate sends back invaders)
- get rid of other players by…
- sending back friendly players to their own plane using a Black Separation Crystal.
- defeat the invading player. Anything that causes death to the invader is effective.
- killing yourself
Note: An impassable fog gate is also a very good indicator that a player was able to invade you without triggering a system message.
The term "fog gate" or" fog wall" has it origins in Demon Souls. There, the world was hulled in some kind of evil fog. So during gameplay you had to go through that fog to proceed. In Dark Souls, those gates are called "the white light".

Rising prices for food and energy have driven German inflation in August close to the 2 percent goal favored by the European Central Bank (ECB), the country's Federal Statistical Office reported on Wednesday.
Goods measured in the country's Consumer Price Index (CPI) were 1.8 percent more expensive last month compared with August 2016.
On a monthly basis, inflation rose by 0.1 percent following an annual rate of 1.7 percent measured in July.
Energy prices were a major driver behind the rise in inflation, increasing by 2.3 percent year on year. The cost of heating oil (up 10.4 percent), gasoline (up 4 percent) and electricity (up 2 percent) all rose, whereas natural gas became cheaper (down 2.9 percent)
Food prices were up by 3 percent as well in August compared with the same month last year.
"The increase in prices for food in August 2017 continues to be significantly higher than overall inflation," a statement from the statistical office read.
Butter recorded another month of steep price rises in the face of worsening European producer shortages, costing 59.7 percent more than it had last August.
Goods on average were 2 percent more expensive on an annual basis, while the cost of services rose by 1.6 percent during the same period.

Sky drop below .500 with loss to Fever
INDIANAPOLIS -- After losing back to back games on the road, the Indiana Fever were glad to be back home.
Jessica Davenport scored 20 points and had five rebounds to lead the Fever in a 77-63 victory over the Chicago Sky on Thursday night. Indiana snapped a three-game skid and moved one-half game ahead of Connecticut for first place in the Eastern Conference.
"It's always nice to be at home and to have that home crowd behind us," Davenport said. "I thought our road trip was pretty tough, but we had a great practice yesterday and everyone had energy. I think just being at home helped a lot."
The Fever lost by five points at Connecticut on Sunday and then by 10 at Atlanta on Tuesday.
Davenport came off the bench for the second straight game. She started her first game with the fever on June 25 and was in the starting rotation for eight straight games. But Davenport says she still is entering each game with the same goal.
"My role hasn't changed," she said. "They still want me to be a presence down low whatever game we play or whoever we play against."
Tamika Catchings had 13 points and Tangela Smith added 10 for the Fever (11-6. Katie Douglas added nine points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
"We came out real focused tonight," Catchings said. "What we wanted to do was attack and score in transition. Between transition offense and even transition defense and on the boards, we talked about that. Between the three things we did a great job and got the 'W.'"
The win was Indiana's seventh straight against Chicago and the Fever improved to 18-4 all-time against the Sky.
Sylvia Fowles, who leads the league in scoring, had 21 points on 9-for-11 shooting.
"We never bounced back when they went on their run," Fowles said. "We didn't do what we needed to do. We never got into a groove offensively."
Fowles attacked in the paint on several plays until the Fever made her more of a focal point on defense.
"We had a really good effort being disruptive on defense tonight," Indiana coach Lin Dunn said. "Sylvia had 21, but it was a hard 21. I thought we fought her and made her work hard."
Fowles,third in the league in rebounding, had just one against the Fever. Erin Thorn had 15 points and Epiphanny Prince added 12 for the Sky (8-9).
The Fever ended the first half on an 8-2 run to take a 41-27 lead when Shannon Bobbitt and Douglas each hit a 3-pointer and Smith scored under the basket.
Bobbitt played a season-high 23 minutes, scoring seven points and committing five turnovers.
Catchings and Davenport each scored seven points in the third quarter to help Indiana extend the advantage to 61-43. Catchings hit a 3-ponter early to add a 15-point cushion at one point in the third. Davenport scored five points from the line in the quarter and had a layup at the end of the quarter to put the Fever up by 18.
Chicago only lead once in the game, early in the first quarter when they took a 5-3 lead for one possession.
"They came out like a team that lost a few and needed the win," Sky coach Pokey Chatman said. "We're at the turning point where we need to grow up, step up and recognize opportunities. It's mental to physical. We played like a young team."

The mining and energy industries are very important to the Northern Territory (NT).
Mining and petroleum operations contribution to the economy was 12.3% Gross State Product in 2014-15. These operations and activities are critical to the Territory's development, particularly in regional areas.
The NT has some of Australia's largest deposits of uranium, zinc-lead, bauxite, gold, phosphate and manganese.
The Territory also has high potential for other commodities, with exploration and developing projects underway for copper, rare earths, vanadium, lithium, tungsten, mineral sands and potash and more.
The Territory is highly prospective for onshore oil and gas. There are producing fields at Dingo, Mereenie and Palm Valley in Central Australia, which are linked to Darwin by the Amadeus-to-Darwin gas pipeline. A proposed new pipeline linking the Territory to the Queensland pipeline grid is currently under environmental assessment.
The Department of Primary Industry and Resources regulates the mining and petroleum industries, including inspecting and auditing sites on a regular basis.
Fossickers have unearthed an array of gems and minerals in the NT. Read more about fossicking in the NT.

Tooth extraction aftercare: Instructions for the first 24 hours after having your tooth pulled.
Once your tooth extraction has been completed, your dentist should provide you with two sets of aftercare instructions.
- One will cover things to do (and not to do) during the first 24 hours after having your tooth pulled. (The subject of this page.)
- The other will be recovery instructions for the days that follow. (Use the link for more information about this topic.)
Related page: Extraction Healing timeline.)
Aftercare - The first 24 hours after having your tooth pulled.
This group of instructions covers topics such as: 1) Controlling bleeding. 2) Protecting the blood clot that has formed. 3) Directions for how to minimize swelling and pain.
They also address post-extraction do's-and-don'ts for issues such as: 1) Smoking. 2) What types of physical activities are appropriate. 3) Eating and drinking. 4) Issues with numbness. 5) Cleaning your teeth. 6) If indicated, the use of antibiotics.
Remember, the care you take (or don't take) during this first 24 hour period will set the stage for the healing process to come.
Get your dentist's input.
While this page contains common aftercare guidelines typically used during the first 24 hours after an extraction, your specific situation may involve special circumstances. For this reason, you should discuss these instructions with your dentist so they can amend them as is needed.
Additionally, if you feel you have developed complications you should contact your dentist. It's their obligation to address your needs.
A) Stopping tooth extraction bleeding.
Immediately after your tooth has been pulled, some amount of bleeding will occur, possibly for some time.
[For information about continued post-extraction bleeding beyond the initial 24 hour period, use this link.]
Closing down on gauze is a good way to control extraction site bleeding.
Place firm pressure on the gauze for 45 minutes or longer.
a) Controlling bleeding with gauze.
In most cases, this bleeding can be controlled and ultimately stopped by performing the following steps:
- Place a piece of clean damp gauze over the empty tooth socket.
(Roll or fold it up into a ball or square. It's the portion that rests directly over your wound that's important. If you don't have any gauze, a piece of clean cloth can be used instead.)
- Bite firmly on the gauze for 45 minutes to an hour.
Make sure the wad of gauze is large enough and positioned so that when you bite down on it it applies pressure directly onto your extraction site. (If your teeth come fully together when you close, the gauze may not be receiving much pressure.)
Applying pressure over an extended period is the key.
It's both creating firm pressure and maintaining continuously it over a prolonged period of time (45 minutes or so) that are important factors in getting this technique to work.
Don't keep changing the gauze, and don't chew on it. Just put it in place and continuously close down, for the full 45 minutes to an hour.
b) Controlling bleeding with a tea bag.
If your bleeding seems to persist, a dampened tea bag can be more effective than gauze.
One of the components of tea (black tea, the regular stuff you would use to make iced tea) is tannic acid. Tannic acid aids in the formation of blood clots, thus making this method a very effective technique. (Same instructions as above, just substitute the tea bag for the gauze.)
Repeat as needed.
If some bleeding still persists after the completion of a 45 minute application (gauze or tea bag), then repeat the process. Several applications may be needed. However, after each subsequent cycle you should notice that the amount of flow that continues is less and less.
It's rare that this technique, expecially when a tea bag is used, doesn't provide the needed solution. However, if heavy or prolonged discharge persists, then contact your dentist.
Clotting aids.
In some cases your dentist may anticipate that post-operative bleeding will be a concern. If so, they may place some type of clotting aid in your extraction socket.
This might be an absorbable collagen or gelatin dressing (CollaPlug®, Gelfoam®), oxidized cellulose (Surgicel®), microfibrillar collagen (Avitene®), or similar-purposed product. For specific details, you'll simply have to ask your dentist what has been placed.
(Absorb = the process where a person's body will naturally degrade and then take up the breakdown components of an object.)
You still need to follow standard protocol.
By no means does your dentist having placed a clotting aid in your tooth's socket lessen your need to follow standard post-op instructions.
Instead you should recognize that they consider you to be at elevated risk for complications, which makes faithfully following their directions all that more important.
What becomes of the clot?
As a socket's healing process progresses the space occupied by its clot is gradually replaced by granulation tissue (new tissue that's especially rich in blood vessels). During this transition the clot is broken down into components that are resorbed by your body. The whole process is usually completed within about one week following your extraction. (Cohen 2014)
B) Insuring that an adequate blood clot forms (and stays) in the tooth socket.
The blood clot that forms in the tooth's empty socket plays an important role in supporting the healing process that follows, so be careful not to do anything that will dislodge or disrupt it.
Remember, events that occur during this first-24-hours time frame will affect the healing process for days to come. For example, it's thought that the formation of a dry socket is related to the loss of the original blood clot.
Blood-clot Don'ts.
As a way of protecting the clot that has formed, during the first 24 hours following your extraction, you should ...
- Avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting. - These activities may dislodge the clot.
- Don't disturb your extraction site. - Don't touch or poke at it with your finger. Don't explore it with your tongue.
- Don't consume hot liquids and foods. - Hot items, especially liquids like soup, tea and coffee, tend to dissolve blood clots.
- Minimize air pressure differences. - You should also avoid creating air pressure variations in your mouth, or pressure differences between your mouth and your sinuses (in the case of an upper tooth extraction) because these events may dislodge the blood clot from its socket.
This means you should avoid smoking or using a straw (these activities create suction). Also, don't blow your nose. And if you need to sneeze, sneeze with your mouth open. (See below for more details.)
C) Minimize activities that may make it harder to control bleeding.
During the first 24 hours after your tooth extraction, you'll want to avoid any activities that might make it difficult to control bleeding from your extraction site, or interfere with blood clot formation and retention.
While the risk of these complications is often minimal after very simple extractions, when multiple teeth have been removed or the patient's procedure has been difficult, they can become a substantial concern. Either way, it only makes sense to take precautions.
It's best to avoid strenuous work or exercise. You should also avoid bending over or lifting heavy objects. In general, it's not a bad idea to just take it easy for the rest of the day following your surgery.
(Use this link for more details about post-extraction activities.)
When you sleep or lie down, position yourself so your head is above the level of your heart. Doing so tends to lower your head's blood pressure level, which when trying to control post-extraction bleeding is a favorable thing.
Toward this goal:
- In bed, prop your head up using an extra pillow, or even 2.
- Rest in a recliner with the head portion of your chair positioned higher than your feet.
Be careful when transitioning from a reclined to upright position. You may find you get lightheaded. Try just sitting up for a minute before slowly getting on up.
D) Swelling may occur.
It's common and normal for some degree of swelling to occur after having a tooth pulled. The amount that ultimately forms is typically proportional to the extent of the surgery that has taken place. That means:
- After very simple extractions you may notice very little, possibly none.
- With more involved cases (longer, more difficult extractions or the removal of several teeth) you may notice a pronounced enlargement, possibly involving a large portion of your face.
Generally speaking, the amount of swelling that forms can be minimized via the application of ice packs on the outside of your face over the area where your surgery was performed, starting immediately upon the completion of your procedure.
This page provides in-depth details and instructions about managing this complication: Post-tooth extraction swelling.
Don't smoke for as many days as you can.
E) Avoid smoking.
People who smoke tend to experience a higher level of complications with extraction site healing. That means if you can avoid smoking for the first 24 hours (and preferably 48 hours and longer) after having your tooth pulled, it will be to your benefit.
We explain the how's and why's of this effect in greater detail in our discussion of smoking as a risk factor for dry sockets (a common post-extraction complication).
F) Avoid blowing your nose.
As mentioned above, in the case where you've had an upper back tooth removed (molar, bicuspid) it's best form to refrain from blowing your nose.
That's because doing so can create a pressure difference between your mouth (via the recesses of your extracted tooth's socket) and your sinuses that might be great enough to disrupt what in some cases may be just a paper-thin layer of bone separating the two.
Oroantral communications.
Failing to follow these directions can result in creating what's termed an "oroantral communication" (a direct connection between your mouth and sinus). And the development of one will complicate the healing process. (The communication itself will need to be blocked off before normal healing of the socket can occur.)
Other precautions.
Actually, it's not just avoiding blowing your nose that's important. You should generally refrain from doing anything that might create a pressure difference, such as:
- Sneezing. If you need to sneeze, do so with your mouth open.
- Avoid sucking on items such as a straw or cigarette.
- If you play a 'wind' musical instrument, ask your dentist when it will be OK to resume playing.
G) Controlling extraction-site pain.
The level of discomfort a patient can expect during the first 24 hours following their extraction can be quite variable. For some people, it will be a non-event. For others, it may be quite noticeable. (This page discusses managing pain that extends beyond the initial 24 hours after your procedure.)
Timing your medication.
Quiz your dentist about what to expect. If they feel it's highly likely that you'll need to take an analgesic (pain pill), a good plan can be to do so before the local anesthetic used for your procedure has worn off. (That will be tapering down over the next hour or two.)
If discomfort does become an issue, in terms of types of analgesics there are two general classes of medications that are typically used.
a) OTC medications.
For just minor to mild pain, your dentist will probably advise the use of an over-the-counter (non-prescription) analgesic.
Commonly used products include acetaminophen (Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®). You'll need to read and follow the directions and warnings that accompany the one that's been recommended for you.
b) Prescription medications.
If a higher level of pain relief is needed, your dentist will likely turn to the use of prescription analgesics.
A narcotic pain reliever may be needed after some extractions.
Narcotic medications.
The formulation of many prescription pain relievers includes the narcotic codeine (or related compounds).
- These products tend to cause nausea (upset stomach). This effect can be minimized by taking the medication with milk or food (milk shake, soup, fruit juice, yogurt, mashed potatoes, etc...).
- Taking a narcotic may make you dizzy, drowsy or groggy. It may also slow down your reflexes or cause you to act strangely.
If you're taking a narcotic medication, you should let those around you know. You should also limit your activities (driving, operating machinery, etc...).
- Additional common side effects include nausea, vomiting and constipation.
- You should abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages when taking a narcotic.
Other precautions.
Make sure that you read and follow all directions and precautions associated with your medication's use. If you have any questions, you should discuss them with your dentist or pharmacist.
Remember that your product has been prescribed to you for the short-term use of controlling the pain associated with your extraction. Since some products can become habit forming, their use should be discontinued at the earliest point where pain control is no longer needed.
H) Continue on with prescribed antibiotics.
Any antibiotics prescribed by your dentist should be taken as directed, which typically means "to completion" (the endpoint where all have finally been taken according to schedule). Doing so may include continuing on with your medication even after your tooth has been removed.
I) Eating.
Is it OK to eat after having a tooth pulled?
Yes, maintaining proper nutrition is important for both keeping up your strength and providing the nutrients needed for your extraction site's healing process, so try not to skip any meals.
For the first several days, keep foods away from your surgical area by chewing on the other side. That will help to minimize any chances of disrupting its healing process or allowing debris to collect in it.
Sticking to cool, soft foods makes the right choice after simple extractions. When multiple teeth, multiple extraction sites or surgical extractions are involved, a liquid diet (supplemental nutrition drinks) may be indicated during the first 24 hours. (See our post-extraction food suggestions below.)
How soon after can you eat?
It's best to wait until the local anesthetic used for your extraction has worn off. Trying to eat while you're still numb could result in an accident (like biting your lip) or trauma to your surgical site.
- Following simple single-tooth extractions, you may be able to return to fairly normal eating habits after just a few days.
- After more involved ones (surgical extractions, the removal of multiple teeth) you may need to favor your extraction site for most of a week as its healing gradually progresses.
What kinds of foods are recommended?
As a general rule, stick to cool, soft foods as opposed to hard, crunchy or spicy ones after having a tooth pulled. You should also avoid consuming alcoholic beverages or drinking beverages with a straw (the negative pressure might draw the blood clot out of your socket).
- Soft foodstuffs are less likely to traumatize your extraction site (this is true for both the day of your extraction as well as during the healing process that follows).
- Hot food items (especially soup or coffee but even semi-solid ones) have the potential to dissolve the blood clot that has formed in your tooth's socket, so they should be avoided during the first 24 hours.
Consider food items like these: pudding, yogurt, jello, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, applesauce, scrambled eggs, pancakes, noodles, (cool) soup, ice cream, milkshakes, supplemental nutrition drinks.
As the healing of your extraction site progresses, you can start to add foods that have more firmness and texture to your diet.
Drink plenty of water.
It's important to stay well hydrated. That's because you've lost some bodily fluids during your extraction procedure. You'll also want to maintain optimal body chemistry for your socket's healing process.
Especially after more involved extractions (difficult procedures, the removal of multiple teeth), drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water per day makes a good idea.
J) Precautions with numbness.
The numbness from your local anesthetic will linger after your procedure.
After the completion of your procedure you'll still have some lingering numbness. Besides just your extraction site, some aspect of your lips, cheeks or tongue are likely to be affected too.
How long will the numbness last?
You can expect to notice the effects of the anesthetic used for your extraction for some hours following your appointment. The method of injection, and type and formulation of anesthetic solution used, are primary determining factors.
Studies evaluating the effect of various anesthetic solutions commonly used in dentistry for numbing up lower molars (inferior alveolar nerve block injections) have reported duration times of:
- 2.5 hours (Elbay 2016), 2.5 hours (Managutti 2015) and 3.8 hours (Kammerer 2012). [page references]
- Differences in the duration of numbness among individual patients generally varied from 18 to 35 minutes (plus or minus).
As time passes, the level of numbness you notice will slowly fade as your body's vascular system carries the anesthetic solution off to be metabolized and excreted.
What precautions should you take?
The sensory loss (pain, temperature and touch) that your postoperative numbness creates can result in accidents. For example ...
- You might unknowingly bite your lip or tongue while chewing, possibly even repeatedly.
- You might not be able to test hot (temperature) foods and beverages adequately, which could result in burns.
- Some patients, especially children, may find their numbness a novelty and will bite on, or chew, numbed tissues (lips, cheeks or tongue). This may result in significant damage.
In regard to this last issue, children must always be monitored during periods of numbness.
Avoid rinsing your extraction site with mouthwash.
K) Cleaning your teeth.
It's important for you to maintain good oral hygiene over the days and weeks while your extraction site is healing.
- On the day your tooth has been pulled, it's best to avoid brushing those teeth that directly border your extraction site. Wherever access isn't a problem, it's OK to clean your other teeth.
- During the first day after your extraction, it's OK to let water or saline solution (1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 1 cup of warm water) roll around in your mouth but rinsing vigorously must be avoided. Doing so might dislodge the blood clot that's formed in your tooth's socket.
- Avoid the use of commercial mouthwash or mouth rinse. These products may irritate your extraction site.
