"Metro 2033" In the sights of SniperWolf427
I have always understood why it is very much necessary to compare games to other games. After all, we, as human beings, associate everything we know with something that is new in order to better gain a comprehension of whatever that new thing may be. It's just the way we are. However, there seems to be an increasingly liberal use of the word "Clone" in the gaming industry as of late. And it isn't because the game in question is an exact copy of another game, rather, it's because the game in question may steal thunder from another game. Yes, it's the exact same reason why an individual would hate their next door neighbor's awesome Christmas light setup (I'll get those fuckers next year), because it makes anything else around seem less awesome. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was in no way a "Clone" of MW2, aside from the fact that was a shooter of the first person persuasion. It's just that the people who prefer MW2 get paid thousands every time they convince someone that Bad Company 2 sucks horribly (It's the only logical explanation). Well, I'm the biggest anti-clone spokesperson to ever walk among mortals, so naturally, you can understand my dilemma when Metro 2033 was compared to the love of my life: the Stalker franchise.
Part of me wanted Metro to be a step-brother of that beloved masterpiece, and it made sense, especially considering that two of the lead programmers working on Stalker left in order to develop Metro. The other part wanted a completely unique experience, which wouldn't be possible if the game were too much like Stalker. In the end, Metro 2033 is absolutely nothing like Stalker, for better or worse.
The story in Metro 2033 follows the Russian book of the same name, and rather faithfully it seems. Shortly after a violent nuclear war, all the people in Moscow have gone underground into the subway tunnels in order to survive the resulting nuclear winter. You take control of Artyom as he attempts to save his home from a recently emerged threat, known only as the Dark Ones. I'd recap more, but that is all I'm completely positive about. The story is incredibly confusing, not from complexity, but primarily from the method of exposition. Remember how in Bioshock you had to listen to those little audio diaries in order to even remotely understand what the fuck was going on? Well, Metro is a lot like that. You have to stop and listen to side conversations between two random people, talk to every single character you can, and observe your surroundings in order to get even a slight clue about the plot. Now, that worked excellently in Bioshock, slowly adding pieces to this giant puzzle, but never giving you every piece in order to preserve some of them mystery. Unfortunately, it works nowhere near as well in Metro 2033 and by the end it leaves you with no sort of solid facts about anything. The primary problem is the fact that, unlike Bioshock with the aforementioned diaries, not a single bit is exposed to you directly, rather, everything is implied. It makes it confusing. Never will one guy come out and tell you straight up about anything. Not once. Every time you encounter something new, you wonder if you should have known more about it, or if the game purposely wanted you to stumble blindly through the entire plot in order to keep you intrigued.
They are going to be so pissed at me when they wake up.
An excellent example are the Dark Ones themselves. They are terribly interesting creatures, especially given how they can manipulate the minds of individuals, and give them some particularly strange fever dreams regarding more than one smoky, unoccupied hallway. However, you never really learn anything about them. Throughout the beginning, your ugly-as-hell stepfather drones on and on about how dangerous they are, but never exactly why. Sure, they can mess with people's heads, but that is never on a deadly level, it just signals that it's nap time for all the characters around you. Soon enough, they're all awake again and relatively unharmed. Even by the end of the game, I had only surmised so much about the Dark Ones, unable to penetrate any aspect of the story enough to learn any more.
The strongest point about the game, much like Stalker or Bioshock, is the setting. The underground tunnels of the Moscow metro are creepy as hell, with very little lighting, and are more often than not, filled to the brim with corpses of your fellow man, or mutants who have stomachs that are, more often than not, filled to the brim with your fellow man. You'll very much appreciate the small details, from the scarred steel walls of the stations, to the dilapidated and ancient trains that sit dead on the tracks, and even the twisted and destroyed buildings that inhabit the icy wasteland of the city of Moscow. It simply fills you with a sense of constant dread and despair, which simply adds to the experience. You really get the sense that these people are simply trying to survive with what they've been given, and the often lighthearted dialogue that comes from the characters really provides a stark contrast, showing that their humanity shines through the darkness. It's all very immersive and amazing.
Of course, the presentation adds to the powerful setting. The graphics are stunning as a whole. Textures are all well done, the mutants look fantastic, the guns have an appalling amount of detail, and the lighting effects are fantastic. However, some of the facial features of the characters lack the detail of most games that are released these days. The sound is another amazing aspect, taking cues from Stalker in this area as well. The guns are incredibly loud, which makes it even more entertaining when you unleash their power upon some poor bastard, and the explosions are deafening. Literally. Often times, a nearby grenade will deafen your character, replacing all sound with a low ringing noise. It isn't the first game to do this, but it does it particularly well. The mutants all have a particular sound to them, meaning you can tell the difference between the mutants simply by listening. One of them, a giant rat sort of thing, screeches when it jumps, and I certainly knew when I was up against it, because it made me shit my pants every single time the bastard snuck up on me. One thing that adds to the eerie-ness is the fact that even the silence isn't silent. You'll find yourself creeping through a dark corridor and a stark, high pitched shriek will be emitted from seemingly nowhere, making it seem as if the Earth itself is crying out in agony. This will seem very familiar to you Stalker fans out there, as it does nearly the same exact thing. All of this will draw you into the game. This game has a presentation that will completely suck you in if you aren't careful.
On the menu for today: White Mush and Dark Mush
Metro 2033's phobia of telling the player anything also extends into the gameplay, making the game incredibly confusing at the start. Apparently, tutorials are for pussies, and there are no room for pussies in the apocalypse. Instead, they drop you off towards the end of the story, which acts as a sort of unnecessary prologue thing. The main problem with this is that you are shown the surface wasteland about five minutes into the game, completely destroying any sort of mystery and potential intrigue about that. After a short battle where your character blacks out, the game rewinds time to the beginning of the journey, and then continues normally from there. Now, one of the most talked about aspects of Metro is its use of military grade ammo for currency. You take the military grade ammo to shops in order to buy new weapons, armor, gas mask filters, and everything in between. I thought I understood this before buying the game, but I had no fucking clue, nor do they ever attempt to explain it to you. It turns out, each gun has its own kind of ammo, shotguns have shells, pistols have normal ol' bullets, etc. However, the military grade ammo is of higher quality than the traditional ammo, and therefore, more valuable. You have the ability to switch between using normal ammo and the military grade ammo, which does more damage. But (and this was the confusing part) you can only do so with the machine gun. Instead of tapping the RB button, you would instead hold it down, and he would insert a clip of the higher quality ammo. But honestly, this aspect is entirely pointless, and I would be lying if I said I used it even once during the game. Before playing, I thought certain guns would have to use to the military grade ammo, meaning you had to choose between being poor and well equipped, or rich but with shitty stuff. That is not even close to the case. I went through the game well equipped and as the richest fucking man to ever live in a cave.
Once you finally get a hang of the game (no thanks to the lack of any sort of help from the game itself), you will find a very fun shooter in Metro 2033. Many people have been complaining about the shooter mechanics being lackluster, but I had no problems with them. In fact, I found the shooting to be very well implemented, especially considering the realistic nature of all the guns. Creeping silently through a narrow metro tunnel, flashlight barely piercing into the wall of darkness, home-made double barrel shotgun at the ready, blowing away any mutant that dares to show itself. It's exactly as fun and satisfying as it sounds. The game is also very diverse, throwing in several rail-shooter sequences which keep it from getting too stale. However, the main issue with the gameplay is the stealth sequences. Now, it isn't so much a broken aspect of the game, as it is an incredibly difficult one. Not once was I able to sneak through an enemy base completely unnoticed, and with my aforementioned well equipped ass, I was never terribly worried about it either. If I was found crawling around in the shadows like a tard, I would simply whip out the trusty AK-47 and plow through wave after wave of enemies with ease, making me wonder why I bothered sneaking in the first place. When I was able to sneak around a little bit, the stealth did make the game very thrilling. Popping out from the shadows to silently slit the throats of people who would very much prefer to continue living was often very exciting, however, I found myself getting too frustrated when it didn't work.
"Why are you guys wearing your gas masks down here? It's safe to breathe." "Actually, Jim just farted."
Another troublesome aspect of the game is the fact that the enemies are really not that dangerous to you. You would think that a giant fucking mutant could tear your wimpy daddy's boy ass to shreds, however, that couldn't be farther from the case. Instead, the mutants run up and give you a nice cuddle, showing off their affection, and allowing you plenty of time to fill them full of lead, knife, or whatever. None of this is helped by the fact that all of the bi-pedal mutants in the game are just different color versions of each other. Towards the end of the game, you encounter these mutants aptly named Librarians, obviously due to their extreme appreciation of books, particularly Asimov and Huxley. Regardless, they are essentially the exact same as the other bi-pedal mutants you've been fighting all along, except these are slightly more difficult. This gives you an impression of laziness from the creature designers. Speaking of slightly more difficult, the enemies share your tendency towards surviving things that should normally kill you. Humans can take up to four shotgun shots to the face and still survive, and as for the mutants, well, you'll be very much annoyed at those Librarians. The damned things will survive anything and everything you throw at them. I was coasting through Metro on the default difficult setting with an abundance of ammo, but when I got to the Librarians I lost nearly fucking everything. I can't imagine what it would have been like had I not been so well equipped.
Frequently, you will go up to the surface and fight through the ruined city streets, but the lack of clean air forces you to don a gas mask at all times. Honestly, for such a small aspect of the game, this is terribly interesting. You hear your character's labored breathing inside the mask whenever you run or when you get into a fight with something. And in a fashion so fucking awesome that you'll stand up and say out loud to yourself "That's fucking awesome,", your gas mask will begin to break as you take a beating, forcing you to scour the wasteland in search of a new one, lest you die from the lack of air. Occasionally, you'll have to swap out filters, which looks cool, and ice will gather on the glass of the mask, proving that the developers were very keen to add in some nice details.
The linear nature of Metro 2033 ensures that there are many strong cinematic moments, very much like Half-Life 2, and these are certainly some of the best moments in the entire game. Describing some of these may spoil some of the fun, so I will add a spoiler after this paragraph where I describe one or two in detail. If you don't want any of them spoiled, just settle for me telling you "Trust me. They're awesome."
"It sucks that we can't re inhabit this place, but it's just too damn cold." "Yeah, and the lack of breathable air is a bummer too."
To be quite frank, Metro 2033 is an easy game to recommend. It may be a tad short (10 - 12 hours), but it is ridiculously compelling, a lot of fun, and has a completely satisfying ending that will have you wanting to play through it again, just to see if you missed anything. Besides, there are two endings, and I've heard they are both equally as awesome. I deeply enjoyed Metro 2033 and I recommend that you at least try it, especially considering that there really isn't anything out there like it.
Thank you for reading and feedback is greatly appreciated.
If you enjoyed this, feel free to read my other reviews: Ninja Assassin, Ruse Impressions, Stalker: Call of Pripyat, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Shutter Island, Halo: Legends, Stalker: Clear Sky, Stalker: Complete 2009, HAWX, Fable 2, and The Boondock Saints[/quote]
I was intrigued by this game as soon as I heard about it, mainly because it sounded similar to Stalker in a few respects and was, as you say, done by some guys who were vaguely related to Stalker. To be honest, my interest has quickly waned. It's not open world (I think), you say it's nothing like Stalker (more games should be) and, unlike Stalker, the setting sounds sadly generic. The truth is, I've spent enough time wandering around spooky post-apocalyptic train tunnels and exploring grey ruined cities to last me the rest of my life. Unless a game is going to offer me something a bit different, I just can't get excited about it.
On the other hand, your reviews are generally trustworthy and you seem to like it, so I might check it out in a while if there's no other games that catch my eye.
Thanks for another good review.
Yeah, it is very linear, not like Stalker at all, and the subway tunnels may seem generic, but the outside world is very far from it.
Trekking through a frozen city block is actually quite interesting, especially with the constant danger of winged predators and the environment itself. i can certainly understand where you're coming from when you say that you're tired of post-apocalyptic settings, as I believe we all are, but Metro just has a certain charm to it.
It's very difficult to explain and I'm not really trying to sell you on anything, especially considering that I'm not getting any of the profits, but I'd say rent it during the summer games drought. It'll be a nice weekend-time-waster during those long, gameless months.
Thank you very much for the feedback. Glad to see people enjoying the reviews.
I enjoyed reading this. Since the story was the main reason I want to play Metro, I'll try to find the book.
I'll still play the game, of course, just after reading the book.
I really, really like this game and I think it's gonna be the major sleeper of 2010. Also, did you happen to notice the reference to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when you first enter the dead city and Bourbon goes up to a corpse and says, "Stalkers, they look for weapons and supplies on the surface"? or something to that effect. I liked that little nod.
Oh man, SniperWolf you have out done yourself again. This was a great read. Keep these reviews going man!
It's a shame this game can't be compared to the STALKER series. I guess if I play this game I'll find out why.
Quality review.
I'm honestly dreading playing this game.
Stalker is one of the few games that has a fundamentally scary atmosphere. The scary leaping mutants just add to it. Perhaps it's the setting, the idea of the whole game world runs on a set of rules you don't quite understand, or maybe it's just the sense that there is something pervasivley wrong with the environment. If Metro captures any of Stalker's sense of overwhelming dread then I'm going to spend most of my time playing from behind the couch.
A good Russian game? Yee-haw, I've been blessed by the heavens.
This was a great read.
Good job on the review. It seems like you've got your format and writing style down quite well. I think what you talked about as one of the main problems would be a "Bad difficulty curve" considering those vicious librarians. I didn't think it was "Very, very long" as you indicated at the start of the review.
I didn't even think that when I was done reading. Good pacing and explanation in your writing, something I would like to see more.
I'll probably either get this game later down the track or go for a rent much sooner. Probably not too soon though, the Combat Arena in God of War 3 is keeping me entertained for a disturbing amount of time.
My biggest problem with the game is that stealth is so goddamn unreliable. Sometimes when knifing somebody, they let out a screech that alerts the entire base, at other times, they ignore bullets to the back of the head and occasionally i'm detected at random without stepping on glass/hitting cans/being illuminated/being in the same room/moving/doing anything at all.
Chances are, you won't be disappointed. I was looking forward to the game as well, I, however, had no clue what to expect. Just make sure you understand that the game is completely linear. The game leads by the hand the entire way. As long as you're ok with that, then you won't have any problems.
Yeah, I was going to mention it, but I thought there really was no room for it in the review. I honestly couldn't decide whether it was a nod, or a shot at them.
Oh well, it was cool nonetheless.
What does it have in terms of replay value?
To put it bluntly, for 10-12 hours of gameplay, I see no reason to get it now, rather than get a used copy.
Yeah. Well, I'm going back for a second time just to see the alternate ending. The replay value would essentially be the equivalent of say... Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's campaign.
Except, you know, if it had multiple endings.
Nice review. I know I will eventually play it.
Excellent read sir, you've now cemented it in my mind, I want this game.
Fabulous review. I'm now intrigued in a game I previously had no interest in. /claps approvingly
I've been reading a number of reviews on this game trying to decide if I should get it. I have to say yours is one of the most thorough I have read, and I think now I will have to give this game a try.
And, I have the book on order. I wonder if reading it first will help me to understand the story better. I'm wondering if you had a chance to read the book, would you do it before you played the game, or after?
That's a tough one. The plot is pretty damn confusing in the game, however, you might enjoy getting the sparse details in the game, considering how cinematic it is.
Honestly, I'm glad I played the game first, as the ending was very interesting (not to mention surprising) and very much fun to play through.
I have my answer then! I'll give it a play through first. Thanks!
The dark ones are explained in more detail in the book. And the reason why it's so hard to get a clear picture of things in the game is because it's hard to get a clear picture in the book. Everyone Artyom meets in the book have a different view of what is happening and why.
**** Huuuuge spoiler if you haven't read the book or played through the entire game. Do not read if you want to play the game or read the book****
I just stumbled on this review and might I just say I found it very well done. Without going into specifics, as that would take too long, it was overall extremely well written, informative, and occasionally humorous. Hell, it even opened up with a thoughtful statement about human nature. It had everything.
This game sounds great and I can't wait to play it, though unfortunately I must. Due to an inconveniently-timed family vacation I will be away from my computer for the next week. I considered getting it for the 360, but after some research I decided I'd rather wait to play the higher quality PC version when I get back. So I will wait.
Incidentally, I've been trying to get my hands on the book to read over my vacation, but I can't find it anywhere, except for used copies which are ridiculously high priced. I don't suppose anyone could help me out?
Thanks for the feedback mate, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Meganmeave (about two posts above yours) said she has a copy of the book on order. You could always ask her.
Great job on the review. I absolutely love this game like no other. I'm not a fan of being scared and whatnot, and there are a lot of flaws like too many of the same voices/faces. A lot of people don't seem to understand why killing thins is so hard, but I mean you're using dirty bullets, with home made guns. plus it adds to the scary atmosphere. And this game has such an amazing atmosphere, I was hooked right away. I'm looking for the book, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed on a Metro 2034, which is supposedly an indirect sequel involving a different character. I think I read that it was Miller, but I don't think the book has been translated into English yet.
I wouldn't say librarians are slightly more difficult, as I was sending arrow and arrow into their heads, heart pounding as they chased me around the library. I thought I was only going to have to fight one, but oh no, one after the other. I was looking for ammo, and constantly had to charge my flashlight as the place freaked me out.
On The Dark Ones-
I have heard from people who have read the book that they left out a lot of the book, and stories of Artyom's travel. I wish we could've stayed in Polis longer. He spends so much time going there, only to be there for a few min. in game. But from what I have heard he spends days or weeks there. I also believe that they said they left out part of the ending/changed it, for the worse.
Sorry, for the length, I just really love this game, haha.
Thanks for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated.
As for the game, I was playing Bioshock 2 the other day, and it made me re-look at Metro 2033 even more charitably than before. I enjoyed Bioshock 2's story much more, but the game just wasn't nearly as much fun. It's funny how playing a game that should have been awesome but was only decent, really makes you think about all the games that you should have appreciated more.
Metro 2033 is just a good game. Plain and simple. Well, except for the amoebas. I want to punch the guy who thought that would have been a good idea.

Five walks this summer demonstrate ongoing commitment to public input
Fort Wayne, Ind. – Recognizing that strong neighborhoods make for a vibrant and livable city, Mayor Tom Henry is kicking off the third consecutive year of neighborhood walks. The first of five walks this summer is tonight in the West Central neighborhood.
"Our All-America City is truly a city of neighborhoods," Mayor Henry said. "These walks give me the chance to meet the people I serve in their front yards, driveways and sidewalks. They allow me to hear concerns firsthand, work to solve problems quickly and gather suggestions on how City government can serve our residents better."
Joining Mayor Henry will be neighborhood leaders, members of the Mayor's staff and representatives from City Utilities, Public Works, Community Development, the Fort Wayne Fire Department and the Fort Wayne Police Department.
The other neighborhood walks for 2010, weather permitting, are:
• July 1: Eastland Gardens
• July 22: Tower Heights
• Aug. 5: TBD in Northeast Quadrant
• Aug. 26: Sheffield Woods
The Mayor walks each of the neighborhoods from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

With Tesla now taking its electric energy storage expertise to the next level with an energy storage solution for the home, companies will be teaming up with the giant to offer the capabilities to residents. Green Mountain Power, a Vermont-based utility company, will be the first in the country to partner with Tesla to offer the Tesla Powerwall home battery to residents. The battery technology will allow customers to become more energy independent while also allowing the company to reduce peak demand on the system.
"This is a game changer that will help fully leverage solar to the benefit of all with cost savings, while empowering Vermonters to generate, store and use energy closer to the home," said Mary Powell, GMP President and CEO. "As Vermont's energy company of the future, GMP is partnering with customers on an energy transformation that moves away from the 100-year-old grid system, to a new one that is more reliable, sustainable and cost-effective."
The Tesla home battery can be paired with small-scale solar such as rooftop panels to store locally generated energy, or it can be used without solar as a battery to store power from the grid. During a storm or emergency, the battery can power parts of the home like lights, a refrigerator, and furnace.
How much will it cost residents?
Customers who share access of the battery will pay about $37.50 a month with no upfront cost (the equivalent of $1.25 a day), according to the company. Customers can also choose to purchase the Powerwall for about $6,500, share access with GMP, and get a monthly bill credit of $31.76, or Vermonters can buy the Powerwall outright from GMP with no shared access for about $6,500.
GMP expects to receive its first shipment in January, with a total of 500 arriving over the next few months.
For more information on the Tesla Powerwall or to sign up for one, visit Green Mountain Energy.

Vieira under special scrutiny in France with hopes he can emulate management success of Zidane and Deschamps
The 1998 World Cup winner is taking his first steps in European club football coaching with Nice
There may be a mischievous sense of regret, among fans of the English Premier League of the early 2000s, that just as Patrick Vieira's coaching career takes off, Roy Keane's seems to be in abeyance. Theirs was a playing rivalry, when Arsenal and Manchester United toughed out supremacy, as explosive as any. Perhaps one day it still might be relived on a touchline.
There are some footballers whose leadership instincts are so fierce that the balance between aggression and smart battlecraft tips over; Vieira and Keane often came to that point when they shared a pitch. By the time they hit their 30s, their qualities of command marked out both as potential managers. Keane, now on the coaching staff of his country, Republic of Ireland, has tried managing in the Premier League with mixed success; Vieira now has his first go at a European league.
The Frenchman goes in search of his first point in charge of Nice in Ligue 1 at Caen this weekend, having drawn a blank on his first competitive outing with a 1-0 loss at home to Stade de Reims last weekend. It was not too discouraging a start. His team had 70 per cent possession and 19 shots against Reims, who held onto a lead they had taken two minutes into Vieira's big day.
The new manager lamented a lack of punch up front, and, with the French transfer window still open, the club have gone some way to correcting that, welcoming a new striker, 19-year-old Myziane Maolida, from Lyon. Maolida is the kind of young talent Nice hope their young, respected manager can attract, as they try to compete with France's so-called "Big Four", made up of the megabucks champions Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco, Lyon and a resurgent Marseille.
Marseille, along the Mediterranean coast, have been moving to take Nice's highest profile player, Mario Balotelli, away, an issue that has become a headache for Vieira. The new manager had anticipated that. Balotelli, the itinerant Italian who discovered in Nice a happy new home after a slump in his career, is a test for almost every employer. Vieira would like him to sort out his departure, if departing is his intention, promptly.
He would like Nice to see their season take lift off, too, because he knows he is under special scrutiny. He is a national hero, part of the France squad who won the 1998 World Cup and reached the final in 2006, the imposing midfielder who won over 100 caps but who, in some ways, remained as a figure rather removed from the theatre of Ligue 1.
That's because Vieira spent almost his entire playing career with clubs outside France's borders, whisked away from Cannes as a teenager by AC Milan. Arsenal then made him their centrepiece, dominant in the Premier League title-winning sides of 1998, 2002 and 2004. There would follow a series of title celebrations with Juventus and Inter Milan, before he joined Manchester City as an experienced guide for the beginning of that club's well-funded renaissance.
City encouraged his coaching ambitions, and his evident nous and man-management skills became apparent in the past two years, as head coach of New York City, the partner club of Manchester City in the MLS, who he guided twice to second spot in the Eastern Conference section of the US league. Vieira talks of his "clear ideas," as a manager and references the calibre of learning he had, from Arsene Wenger, from Jose Mourinho, Fabio Capello, and Roberto Mancini, among others.
Nice finished fourth in 2016, third in 2017 and eighth last season. Their target under Vieira is European qualification. If the 42 year old makes a success of this job, then a kaleidoscope of possibilities open up. At Arsenal, he is revered. At City, he is admired. And the French Football Federation, guardians of the new world champions, would relish seeing another of their former captains emerge, as Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane have, as a top-class manager.

Karen's coaching was invaluable - she is open and frank about facing fears and taking action. She gently inspires you to become more productive and take small steps towards a goal. Everything seems possible - I'm no longer intimidated or overwhelmed.
Karen is a miracle worker! I've started to suffer with a stiff shoulder over the last few months, which at the time of my visit was worsening day by day. The day after i visited Karen, my shoulder had gained much more movement, the pain had eased significantly and overall the stiffness had greatly reduced. I didn't expect to feel such a difference so quickly. Karen has made such a difference.
I am a frequent user of Karen's service and would recommend, she's very good at undoing all the muscle tension in my back caused by my bad posture with her deep tissue massage.
Very knowledgeable. Good advise on stretching, sitting posture and exercise. Focussed massage on shoulder, neck and backbone, reduced my shoulder pain tremendously. I would recommend people to seek her consultation and expertise.
I thoroughly enjoyed this massage. Karen got rid of any knots in my shoulders and I awoke the next morning with no aches or pains. Need to book another treatment soon. Would recommend.
Karen has been helping me over the last few months with an ongoing back problem but more recently I have developed a niggling hamstring and Karen has been a godsend in helping me both with some sports massage and some advice on stretching. She is making a real difference to my well-being.
I found Karens support invaluable when trying to make a decision about the best direction for my career. They helped me to make the links between what I wanted to achieve in relation to my business and my other goal of improving my work/ life balance. In other words, the coaching helped me to see the bigger picture and 'join the dots' instead of making these decisions in isolation from each other. The coaching was friendly and non-judgemental, asking relevant questions which enabled me to make the best choices for my situation.
I started working with Karen during a particularly traumatic period in my life. Our sessions served as an anchor for rationality at a time when I didnt feel that I had much. Working together enabled me to unravel my thinking and behaviours and decide if they were serving me or needed to change. The coaching helped me achieve clarity when I needed it most.
I met Karen 8 years ago after she started a treatment room at our international offices. I had previously suffered a bad whiplash injury which together with a stressful job caused me continous neck and upper back pain. After the initial treatments to release my badly knotted muscles followed by weekly 30 minute sessions she kept me virtually pain free. Since retiring last year I have continued to see Karen on a private basis, her custom made cabin is a very comfortable and relaxing environment for treatment. I would and have recommended to family and friends.
Karen is an expert in her field and always provided an exceptional service to me. I have a history of back problems and she helped me overcome these while also introducing me to new techniques that reduced stress and increased my focus and energy. Personable, always friendly, and great value for money I would recommend Karen in a heartbeat.
I would thoroughly receommend Karen, she provides a first-class service at very reasonable rates, and is professional and personable at all times. I really only have good things to say about her!
The master-builder of human happines no one rejects, dislikes avoids pleasure itself, because it is very pursue pleasure.
I would certainly recommend Karen for all massage treatments, reflexology and cranial treatment. Karen is very expert in what she does and I would not hesitate in recommending her to work colleagues, which I have done in the past.
I have had treatments from Karen for many years including both sports massage and more recently Craniosacral treatments. In all cases I always come away from treatments feeling so much better. Not only is Karen well trained in a number of treatment techniques e.g. - Massage, Craniosacral therapy, Reflexology but gives advice on posture and exercises to help address any underlying issues. A thoroughly holistic approach and all delivered in such a friendly and positive manner.
Karen has provided a fantastic, friendly and beneficial service to AOL staff for many years. Karen and her team are always polite and efficient and show genuine care for their customers. I couldn't imagine AOL without her!.
I first met Karen after my osteopath recommended her. Apparently I'd had a problem with my lower back caused by a neck injury. He said my muscles were too tense and that was causing the problem. I have been visiting Karen for a number of years now, and not needed another trip back to the osteopath. Karen has extensive knowledge, as well as technique and I fully trust her approach and value her opinions. There has not only helped maintain my neck/back, but has removed a problem I was having with my Achilles that the doctor recommended steroid injections. I would recommend Karen to anyone, and will continue to use her services myself.
Karen knows her stuff and provides a great tailored service. I always leave feeling more flexible and that my body is in better condition than when I arrived!
I have used Karen`s services as a sports massagae therapist on many occassions for various injuries. I can honestly say she knows exactly what she is doing and I cannot recommend her enough.
Karen is always pleasant and provides an excellent service easing away the areas of tension.
Karen and her team provide a hugely beneficial service. The Team Actuate massages have always been highly rated and had one of the highest take up rates for any of the employee benefits provided. Regular massage made for happier, more comfortable, less stressed employees. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone.
After suffering with headaches for so long, I found Karen. With visits having deep tissue massage the headaches started to become less frequent and the tightness in my neck and shoulders improving with each visit. Karen is extremely knowledgeable and puts you at ease. With constant headaches you start to worry there is something serious going on, but then Karen makes you realise that this is a very common problem. Money very well spent and headaches are now quite rare.

6 Potential Dangers of Juice Cleanses and Liquid Diets

The only money you will spend is the one you invest in fresh food, fruits and vegetables. And this trend is having far-reaching impacts. Article last updated on Mon 17 July The Atkins diet, or Atkins nutritional approach, focuses on controlling the levels of insulin in the body through a low-carbohydrate diet. The Zone diet encourages the consumption of high-quality carbohydrates - unrefined carbohydrates, and fats, such as olive oil, avocado, and nuts. There are detoxifying enzymes in the liver that break down alcohol and other drugs, and the kidneys handle water-soluble toxins, Applegate said.
They also found that gastrointestinal adverse events were twice as likely in the hydroxycitric acid group as in the placebo group. When you are considering the potential benefits of products look for meta-analysis studies that take in all the sound research available.
One-off studies that get a significant result are not evidence of anything.

The family owned business, Kraeber & Co GmbH, is an independent, technology based enterprise which was founded on the 1st January 1980 in Hamburg.
Hanseatic tradition together with courageous entrepreneurship characterize our company. We are committed to open and global competition which we stand up with our service capabilities. Our emphasis is the development, production, marketing and sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), biochemicals, biological extracts from animal and plant origin and especially animal blood fractions of the highest purity. We serve the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, cosmetical, veterinary and both the human and animal food supplement and nutraceuticals industries.
Kraeber has evolved into a niche marketer and supplier. By continuously innovating productions, we became the quality market leader in Europe and in other parts of the world for many of our products.
Our intermediates and high purity substances are offered for laboratory and research. These substances are available in bulk, not as finished preparations, to avoid any competition with our customers.
As family owned business we adhere to the traditional values:
Reliability, continuity and quality
Responsibility and fairness are the basis in the relationship with our customers and our employees, quality and the documentation of the quality procedures are the basis of our business.
We understand the term quality as being excellency in processing and analytical control and prompt customer service. It also involves well documented production and testing methods. We wish to convey all the necessary advantages to our customers in order that they succeed.
To maintain our financial independence we follow a conservative cautious policy with financial planning and controlling. Profits are used primarily to strengthen our assets and to promote expansion. We do not follow the idea of 'shareholder value' but the utility for the company and our employees.
To reach our aims of gaining higher benefits we employ well trained, motivated employees working in an independent, self-motivated way in their area of responsibility. We take our social responsibility and give a high priority to the interests of the employees. We invest in training and education.
With the overall upturn in the development of the biotechnology market since 1997 and the increased demands of several customers, it was evident and appropriate that relocation was necessary in order to expand production facilities. Therefore, Kraeber acquired a production and office facility in Ellerbek in 1998 / 1999. A fully functional newly furnished production was installed in 1999. In 2002 the office space was extended and in 2008 further clean-rooms for the production have been installed. 2014-2015 again new clean rooms, a freezing room -20 °C, a cold storage 2-5°C, as well as a new 300 m² storage were build - all GMP compliant. There remains space for further expansion.
These investments enabled us to double our turnover between 2008 and 2014 and to triple 2018.
We will reach a turnover of €30 Mio in 2019.
We have the following permissions: pharmaceutical production, food and feed production, handling of animal by-products,
and have the following certificates: GMP, GDP, ISO, REX, and AEO.
You can read and download from our page: Download.
Our main competence is the extraction, separation, fractionation and purification of biological substances of animal and plant origins. We have 35 years specialised experience in the fractionation of animal blood from various species.
We are a competent partner for Contract Manufacturing.
Part of our products we receive since many years from good friends, mainly small to medium sized manufacturers and laboratory organisations who are specialists in production but who require the sales and marketing expertise of Kraeber. These cooperations have proven to be successful and has enabled Kraeber to retain flexibility and to meet the demands of the customers without affecting security of supplies, quality and continuity. We have exclusive distribution rights for these products.
The quality of our products is continuously improved by innovations in production processing, analysing, documentation and service.
Quite often the improvements in analytical developments, documentation and customer services are stimulated by the demands and feedback of customers. Furthermore, in the case of analytical requirements, the company works closely with independent laboratories and research institutes. In general, production and processing improvements will continue to be carried out in our own laboratories, where necessary, with the companies to whom subcontract manufacture is placed. Part of the used know how is given by our customers, partly it is acquired from other sources.
For some time now, international discussion has focussed on Corporate Social Responsibility and the introduction of standards to be complied with by companies involved in international trade. The standards discussed include, amongst others:
As a family owned SME we endeavour to comply with these standards.
Safety and environmental protection has high priority.
As a globally operating company, corruption is unacceptable to us. We abstain from cooperating with companies that attempt to engage us in such practices.
Our premises have good thermal insulation and a modern heating and hot water system. Lighting, operational equipment and IT systems all comply with modern energy saving standards. In 2018 we renewed the windows in our building.
By continuous investments into our facility, our staff and the production of additional substances we gained an excellent basis for further development.
By concentrating on our main competences and the production of niche products which we supply on a continuous basis in highest quality we have a sound basis for further development.
We are well prepared for the future.

Penis Health Cremes And Enhancement Products - What To Try And What To Avoid
Penis enlargement products, surgical procedures and health crèmes are widely available, and it can be hard to resist their claims of lengthening the penis, increasing hardness and thickness, and enhancing sexual performance. However, few of these actually work as advertised, and some of them may actually be dangerous.
The following information can help men to differentiate between devices and techniques that have no proven benefits and the penis vitamins and minerals that can improve the tone, feel and appearance of the penis skin and increase its responsiveness to sexual stimulation.
Vacuum Pumps- these devices are sometimes used as a treatment for impotence, and some men use them to make their penis appear longer and harder. Because they work by drawing blood into the penis, they can make the penis larger for a short time. However, this effect is only temporary, and using a vacuum pump on a regular basis can actually damage the tissue that gives skin its elasticity. When this occurs, erections become softer, and loss of penis sensitivity may occur.
Penis Exercises - men looking for ways to stimulate penis growth will come across many offers for penis exercise programs that are "guaranteed" to increase size and firmness. These exercises, which are sometimes called "jelqing," involve using a hand-over-hand motion to push blood from the base to the head of the penis. No studies have found this technique to be effective. On the other hand, it can cause disfigurement and scarring of the penis.
Traction Devices - attaching a specialized stretching device to the end of the penis exerts traction on the head, with the intent of stretching the penis over a period of weeks. A few studies have shown that penis length can be increased slightly by this technique, although no results have shown an increase in more than ½ inch in length. Because there is little information about the safety and long-term effects of penis stretching, this method is not recommended.
Penis Enlargement Surgery - According to the Mayo Clinic, penis enlargement surgery is risky, and few men are satisfied with the results. With the maximum reported increase in penis size of ½ inch, the potential dangers - scarring, infection, loss of sensitivity and loss of function - do not seem to be worth such a small improvement. Because of this, surgery is generally only recommended for men who have genetic deformities or other incapacitating penis problems.
Pills and lotions - Medications and herbal formulas that claim to enhance penis size have not been proven to work. In fact, some of these substances contain hormones and other chemicals that can have unpleasant or even dangerous side effects. Taking medications that claim to make the penis bigger should only be done under the supervision of a doctor.
The truth is that most of the penis enhancement techniques that are widely marketed just don't work, and they can be detrimental to sexual function and overall penis health in the long run. The good news is that, according to most research on the subject, men are much more critical of their penis size than what is reflected in reality. Furthermore, most women do not place much importance on length or thickness of the penis, and instead respond more to a man's attentiveness and efforts to please.
Maintaining healthy penis skin by treating it with a specialized penis health formula (most health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) containing nourishing vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants and all-natural moisturizers, can improve the look and feel of the penis and make it more responsive to sensual stimulation. Smooth and supple penis skin is generally much more of an attraction than a larger organ that cannot get the job done.

|Apologies in bouncing this rather old thread up.. but I thought I would add a little bit more detail to the life of late Sqn Ldr David Lawrence SMALL - 79143 --------------------------------------- D L Small was one of the few British expats living in India at the time of the war breaking out in 1939. He was probably a civil aviator, for he became one of the five or so core british officers who were commissioned into the RAFVR and were to form the backbone of the newly raised Coastal Defence Flights. He was one of the five British expats commissioned on 15 Feb 1940 (From the Gazette) David Laurence SMALL (79143); 5 Flight (CD) Cochin, later CO 4 Flight (CD) at Dum Dum and then at Vizag till disbandment Mervyn Ross Clarenbole THOMAS (79144). 3 Flight (CD) Calcutta, Possibly later to 353 Sqn Richard Neville ROWSON (79145). 6 Flight (CD) Drigh Road, Karachi John Girdleston GILL (79146). 4 Flight (Vizag) Wilfred William RUSSELL (79147) 2 Flight (Juhu) Small re-raised 2 CDF At Dum Dum (later numbered 4 CD) in Feb 42 as the CO. Equipped with 3 Westland Wapitis, the Flight soon moved to Vizag (Visakhapatnam). The move was completed on 2nd April 1942. On the morning of 6 April 1942 , Pilot Officer Maurice Barker RIAF took off in Wapiti J9754 with Flt Lt Small as his Observer for a patrol over the Bay of Bengal. One day earlier, The Easter Sunday raid over Colombo in Ceylon was carried out by Japanese carrier borne aircraft. Consequent to the attack the Japanese Fleet forayed into the Bay of Bengal. Barker and Small took off at 0540 hours from Vizag - At 0555 they came across smoke from ships and later gun flashes - what turned out to be the Japanese Fleet, identifying one Carrier, One battleship, four cruisers, and two destroyers. They shadowed the fleet for an hour, seeing that the flieet was attacking a hapless merchant ship. AT one point three Japanese fighters passed below the Wapiti - but missing seeing them. After a further period of shadowing the fleet, the Wapiti turned back and landed 0740. The sighting of the Fleet was communicated - and Vizag was (presumably) put on alert. A Little later in the day, the Japanese fleet sent aircraft to bomb Vizag and the nearby town of Kakinada. three days later the fleet attacked Trincomalee in Ceylon again. . Barker rose on to become an Air Marshal in the Indian Air Force. The story of him shadowing the Japanese Fleet was known a bit. I never knew what happened to David Small.. till today atleast.. The Coastal Flights were disbanded in Dec 42, with some personnel from the Flights going on to 353 Squadron. Small may have gone to 353 Squadron during this time.. Sadly he seemed to ahve died within months.. ....Read More.

|New article on the attack on Trincomalee
|Rob, Interesting stuff. i couldnt help but read the other article you have out there "20 Ships, Not 23: Ozawa�s Score, 5-6 April 1942" as a matter of interest - You mention at one point " It is very probable that Ozawa detached Yura and Yugiri to operate inshore. This may have happened as early as 0602 (0902 JST on Map 2), but possibly it was after 0630, when an unidentified Allied ship or aircraft reported �One aircraft carrier, one battleship [Chokai], two destroyers, one light cruiser� steering 035 degrees at 17.40N, 83.50E, which is about 20 miles east of Vizagapatam. (This report may well have been based on a sighting by an old Wapiti biplane from 6 Coast Defence Flight, Indian Air Force, which was patrolling off Vizagapatam that morning.) " I wrote about this sortie of the Wapiti in my book. The aircraft J9754, belonged to the 4 CDF, flown by Pilot Officer Marice Barker and Flt Lt David Small , the CO as the Observer. I quote from my book. [QUOTE]The first operational sortie was flown at 5.30 am on 6 April 1942 in Wapiti J9754. In the very first hour, the pilot, Pilot Officer Maurice Barker, with his CO Flight Lieutenant D L Small in the observer seat identified a Japanese naval force that had snuck into the Bay of Bengal to carry out bombing of the various Indian ports. Barker and Small tailed the Japanese fleet for over two hours; at one point they had three Japanese zeros fly below them without their being noticed. After radioing the position of the fleet, the pair had to return to the airfield at 7.35 am. .[/QUOTE] Small was later the CO of RAF Vizagapatam, but died in a Hudson crash less than a month into his command. His story is told in one of the threads in this forum. ....Read More.

Even in such early work as The Clove, Catskills (1827) and View of Monte Video, the Seat of Daniel Wadsworth, Esq. (1828), the facture and compositional strategies employed by Thomas Cole—a working-class boy from northern England, self-taught as an artist—demonstrated surprising conversance with European landscape painting of the time.
Re-examining Thomas Cole
A new exhibition explores the global career of one of America's leading landscape painters.
A second-generation star of the Hudson River School
Sanford R. Gifford in the Catskills is the name of an intimate, beautifully curated exhibition on view at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill, New York. But the show could also have been subtitled Local Boy Makes Good.
On the hunt at the Amon Carter
On October 7, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas, welcomes a traveling exhibition that the organizers deem to be the first of its kind: a major survey of hunting and fishing in American art from the early nineteenth century to the start of World War II.
Review: Sanford R. Gifford In the Catskills at the Thomas Cole House
Among members of the Hudson River School of painting, Sanford Robinson Gifford has long been considered one of the most brilliant painters of light and air.
The Thomas Cole House: Birthplace of the Hudson River School
The English-born artist Thomas Cole (1801–1848) tolerated no ill comparisons to his adopted home in upstate New York. As he wrote to a friend in 1842: "Must I tell you that neither the Alps nor the Apennines, no, nor even Aetna itself, have dimmed, in my eyes, the beauty of our own Catskills?"

Whenever institutional interests are put ahead of the legitimate concerns of others, including the poor and marginalised, there develops a trust deficit. This deficit is gripping institutions here and overseas. Its impact is deep and destructive. Facets of Catholic Social Teaching point the way to reversing the downward trend.
Recent airing of shocking treatment of elderly residents in Australian aged care facilities has led Scott Morrison to announce a royal commission. Sadly, the allegations of abuse and appalling conditions are not new. What has resulted in poor outcomes for vulnerable citizens, and why have we permitted such treatment to go on?
We can speculate on the reasons for the recent rage against plastic bag bans. We don't like change. We don't like being told what to do. We don't like having to think about alternatives and solutions. But at the heart of it, being mad about this particular inconvenience is about refusing to accept one's part in improving the collective lot. This is the one planet we have. There is no Plan B.
This Easter, and Orthodox Easter, and Passover, and at the changing of the seasons, I am prepared to reassert my faith. That whatever evil brings, compassion, courage and passionate commitment to the old values of honesty, accountability and care for others will bring the enormous change that was promised so long ago.
A holistic, culture-sensitive ecological justice has its roots in the feelings, actions and awareness of each person and their relationships: human and otherwise. Organisations, a manifestation of our collective culture, must engage with the ecological challenges and not leave it to the individual, privatised space.
In the Christian gospels the child is the exemplar, par excellence, of what God's world is meant to look like. In social policy, on the other hand, the child tends to be portrayed as a powerless innocent. In recent years, the Catholic Church has failed the standards of both gospel and society: on the one hand by discounting the importance of children and not listening to children, and on the other hand by not having appropriate practices and policies to ensure the safety of children.
Pepsi's advertisement has been accused of appropriating the struggle for race and gender equality in the name of its product. It makes sugar filled drinks seem like the key to stopping police brutality against people of colour, and simplifies the way people engage and make change in the world. The image of Kendall Jenner approaching police has been compared to the actions of Black Lives Matter protestor Leshia Evans. While Jenner manages to strike up a friendship, Evans was thrown to the ground.
I will always remember the first time I saw Giacommeti's statues in in Europe. They were grotesquely thin, elongated people. Giacometti explained how he tried to make people with more flesh, but after World War II and the six million, it was impossible. And so those statues reflect the time he lived in. Queensland's Gallery of Modern Art, on the other hand, is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and has chosen fairy floss and rainbow fuzz to reflect our current society.
Ai Weiwei might be more Dada than Dao and a hirsute satirist of Beijing's rulers, but he is no mere trending hashtag. Since his birth in 1957, his life history has moulded him, and given him the courage to speak up for a reformed China. And while he might appear the court jester that a simplistic West wants, he is in fact a clever and pragmatic political operator in his own world pursuing a rights agenda in a systematic, constructive and humorous way, often through artistic production.
Twenty years ago I was hopeful that countries would take strong and sensible action to address climate change, just as we had in 1987 when we faced the major depletion of the ozone layer. The following years slowly erased this hope. The Church did not do enough to stem disappointment, or to affirm that 'stewardship' alone was not going to provide sufficient grounds for the needed changes. By 2010 I was resigned to devastation. But Pope Francis has provided me with a ray of hope.
Francis knows there are all sorts of issues inside and outside the Church where for too long people with power have tried to keep the lid on, in the hope that the problems and complexities will go away, often by parodying those who see the problems or complexities as small 'l' liberals or cafeteria Catholics. He delights in being joyful and troubled while contemplating big problems, calling people of good will to the table of deliberation reminding them of the kernel of the Christian gospels. He has the faith and hope needed to lift the lid without fear and without knowing the answers prior to the dialogue occurring.
Our local council has announced the end of hard rubbish. As an adult, my enthusiasm for what the council calls 'scavenging' has become the source of many beautiful and useful items. But my objections are philosophical as well as practical. Ugliness has its place, and at clean out time, we literally bring to our doorsteps what we would rather put of sight and mind. Hard rubbish symbolises the costs of our throw-away consumer society while going a small way towards recouping some of them.
