Bull & Last
Time Out says
A place with a good reputation for its food, but refreshingly pubby - go upstairs to dine in quieter and cooler surroundings than the bustling ground-floor bar.
Please note, Bull & Last will close for refurbishment from October 1 2018, due to reopen in 2019. Time Out Food editors, September 2018.
For a place with such a good reputation for its food, the Bull & Last is refreshingly pubby: heavy wooden furniture, velvet drapes, stuffed animals and old prints decorate both the bar and the upstairs dining room. The latter is a calmer and cooler place to eat than the ground-floor bar, and allows diners to focus on dishes such as king scallop carpaccio with pink grapefruit, crème fraîche, coriander and vinaigrette or pig's cheek with watermelon pickle, basil and sesame – both fabulous ways to start a meal. Pea salad with pea fritters, ratte potatoes, shallots, pea shoots and cow's curd (available in starter and main course sizes) was light, fresh and packed with flavour. By contrast, truffoli pasta with fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella wasn't bad, but was more workaday (and overpriced at £14.50). Order was restored by peanut butter parfait with peanut brittle and caramelised rum banana (the perfect pudding for the sweet-toothed), and the ice-creams are good too – we particularly liked the Kernal stout one. There are (big) roasts at weekends.
There's a changing selection of beers and ciders from small breweries (Redemption, Hackney Brewery, Cornish Crown) and a decent wine list, and service is lovely – unfussy but adept. As well as a cross-section of locals, the dog-friendly pub also attracts walkers (it's on the edge of the Heath).

Best "gastro pub" in North London.
The food is amazing! Great breakfast, great roast dinners on Sundays, great dinners in general. The quality of the food is always been exceptional every time I went there. The service is good and fast. It has a relaxed atmosphere.
Went for the first time on Sunday for a roast and it was delicious! Big portion of beef and great yorkshire pudding. My boyfriend also liked the beer list. We would definitely recommend it for a Sunday roast in North London. Next time I want to try the amazing looking scotch eggs on the counter!
They also do brunch! Granted the menu was limited but had a nice selection of high quality and interesting items. I went for the brown crab and scrambled egg on toast. Delicious!! Coffee was great and staff were super friendly and accommodating.
Perfect meal and atmosphere every time.
Simple: over-priced, over-rated, with indifferent food and service and a decided lack of comfort (a 'traditional' pub feel just an excuse for broken down old wooden chairs and wobbly tables). Save your money.
Used to be pleasant but now seems to be trading off its name, rather than delivering good food with friendly service. There are now plenty of good gastropubs, and the Bull & last is just not delivering to same standards.. It's certainly not worth making a trip for. And tip for staff: if a customer waits 40 mins for food to come and asks why it's taking so long, the correct response is not "it hasn't been that long, we're very busy".
Tucked away between Tuffnell Park and Kentish Town, the Bull & Last offers a cozy step gastro pub experience with a delicious array of choices. The friendly staff were a joy to chat to and it almost made me want to offer them a seat at our table. The crispy butter milk chicken is a definite winner (I do not need to describe this because if you do not know what butter milk chicken is, I am not going to spoil it for you with my mere words. I shall let your taste buds speak for themselves). The side order of chips was lovely. Crispy, crunchy exterior which a steamingly powdery potato interior which appears almost at odds at each other until they combine in salty goodness on your palate. With a gastronomically delightful starter and side, the Bull & Last did let me down somewhat with the Dedham Vale rump steak. For a rump steak I expected a strong meaty kick but what I got was a slightly chewy & bland tasting slab. A good dash of coarse sea salt during the grill and perhaps a little more attention to the charring would have been much appreciated. Perhaps it's my personal preference but I do enjoy the good macho bitter kick of char on my steak.
Went on a normal wednesday night, lively but not too busy. Having read about all the negative comments about their service I was surprised that the waiter was actually super helpful. I guess it really depends on how you treat others in the first place. Loved the food, simple and honest, and of course the ale choice. Would prefer Anchor and Hope though.
Shockingly rude and ignorant and stuck up!!t. The staff have the attitude that they're too good to be working in a pub. We left. And we won't be back.
We had Sunday lunch - a very underwhelming experience at best. Bf's beef was overcooked around the edges, the gravy had too much garlic in it, and the Yorkshire pudding was burned! The batter on my fish was too thick, and the chips were so overcooked that you couldn't even bite into them - they were dry in the middle as well. The mushy peas were cold and didn't have any seasoning. The only good thing about the dish was the tartar sauce and the pickle, that I had to pay an extra £1 for! This is considering the prices between £15 and £20 - completely unacceptable for a gastro pub of this caliber that some others likened to a Michelin starred establishments. I can get better fish and chips from my local chippie in Angel for about £5. Not impressed at all. Definitely not cominig back
This place serves really excellent food - mains are between £14-22, starters the £8 mark and desserts about the same or less. Everything I had was good, but the dessert really stood out - peanut butter parfait. On the subject of the staff, which is what most of the people who've commented here have talked about, they were a little awkward - although it has to be said, it varied - but certainly not outright rude in the fashion described by others. Some of them could probably have been a bit less standoffish, but to rule out a pub serving such excellent food on those grounds would be perverse. Anyway, if you do have a bad experience, go to the Southampton Arms, just down the road and the best pub in London.
Service was so bad that we left before ordering. We had booked a table for dinner. On arrival, we were seated at a very small pub table for two, next to the kitchen area. The table is not designed to hold a meal for two, so we requested a normal size table by the window. It was quarter past six on a Monday evening so the place was almost empty. "Can we sit on those tables by the window?" "They are reserved." "We have a reservation" "Those people booked a long time ago." "Those tables and this table are set for 2; what's the difference?" "You can have this table, or 2 seats on the end of the table for 6." "Why can't we sit on that table?" "Those people booked before you did." If my custom is going to be treated as less valuable than that of others arriving later, then I will take it elsewhere. North London is blessed with many local pubs and restaurants, so don't eat somewhere where the staff refuse the simplest request, without apology. We left immediately, and enjoyed a meal at local favourite Bistro Laz.
I am very surprised by the negative comments posted below. I went to the B & L last month with a group of friends and had the most wonderful food, drinks, and service. Particular stand outs were the pea salad, mentioned in Time Out's review, the cote de boeuf - cooked to perfection - and the ice creams which are to die for. This place is well worth a visit, don't listen to the naysayers!
Waiting for an hour or more to get a simple charcuterie board. Told if I wait perhaps the kitchen will have time to make it. Another drink later and apparently the kitchen is too busy to make it. A cold platter, sliced meat and cheese is all we want. Willing to let a group of paying customers sit hungry rather than be accommodating. If you can't handle so many people then have less tables. Shoddy service...
The staff here are always in a massive strop. The food is not high quality or value for money. £9 for a minuscule crab spaghettini starter full of bits of shell. Roasts are particularly bad - big sloppy, sinewy chunks of barely cooked roast beef, mountains of over-cooked veg and all yours for an eye-watering price.
Love this place. One of the best places to get proper British food. Ambience and ales were likewise excellent. For more exotic bitters, just down the road is the Southampton Arms which has loads of handpulled ales from microbreweries around. A really good experience!
We had the Roast Guinea Fowl and Lamb Rump and they were cook perfectly. The Chocolate pudding was slight over cook. Otherwise it would be perfect. The food is much better than lots of restaurants.
Always packed for a very good reason - the food is superb. I'd recommend you book, especially at the weekend. Good selection of ales & family friendly. Ok, it's not really a pub anymore, more of a restaurant but if they keep churning out quality good like this then so be it. If you want a real boozer pop around the corner to the Dartmouth Arms. Our American chums might expect bigger portions but that's why they on average they're 50% more person that us lot in Dartmouth Park
Had a lovely lunch here on Saturday. It's more expensive than many gastropubs, but the food definitely justified the price. Very generous portions and delicious. We hadn't booked but the friendly waiter suggested we order a drink at the bar while they sorted out a table and sure enough, it was ready five minutes later. Food was a bit slow to come out, but no more than any decent restaurant. Shared a gorgeous beetroot salad to start, looked lovely and tasted fantastic with yummy little fried balls of beetroot and feta cheese. For my main I had cottage pie with cavolo nero. I hate it when a menu states the veg with the dish then serves up a few pathetic leaves. This dish came with a huge mount of perfectly cooked cabbage that went beautifully with the cottage pie. Only disappointment was not having room for a scoop of homemade ice cream, which I've heard is very good. I've eaten here two or three times before and enjoyed it, but would have previously said the food at The Stag (in South End Green) marginally pipped them to the post. However I think they've upped their game - it was a really great meal. And the starters are always excellent so don't scrimp!
The service was very chummy, ,the food beyond expectations . Don't be put off by the odd disgruntled punter.
worst fish and chips. very disappointed ... service was good and friendly.
Managed to get a table on a Saturday night out of sheer luck as the place was fully booked - some tables are not bookable. Had a great meal & fantastic bottle of wine, which I've now bought a case of, highly recommended.
Amazing Sunday lunch, had the pork belly and it was delicious. Also a really nice surrounding, helped by the fact we were allowed to bring our dog inside to sit with us while we ate. Good, quick service too. Maybe a little more expensive out of the pubs in Highgate but definitely worth it. A great place for a Sunday lunch with the family.
I am a very lazy reviewer, not writing outstanding reviews where they are due, and not highlighting the negatives in certain restaurants to warn potential future customers from the horrors I have experienced, but the Bull & Last horror was so bad, I simply cannot let this one slide!
Just to draw-up some context, myself and my partner are real foodies, we love discovering and trying new places, these span from Michelin-starred restaurants right down to the takeaway food trucks, the only requirement we have is great food (and preferably good service, but we can let this slide in the name of a delectable meal). The point here, is we are not concerned with the fluff, and can appreciate quality food, which unfortunately we did not find at the Bull & Last.
The Bull & Last, was on our forever expanding list of places to visit, and so the miserable Sunday weather of the 10th of August (2014) prompted us to seek out the comforts of a cosy local pub, with what we believed was going to be a party for our bellies, so much so that on arrival, I declared how much I love that we reside in North London because we are fortunate to have such wonderful places as our 'local eats' (this was before we had even walked through the door).
We settled somewhere half way by a window, perfect for people watching and taking in the decor (don't let this fool you). Our menus arrived with one decorated with a questionable stain, it could have been baby-food, it could have been adult food-splatter, who knows, but undeterred I pushed the stained menu (a double-sided A4 sheet of paper) away and suggested we share, who needs individual menus anyway?
We settled on an Organic Sea Trout Salad with Marsh Samphire, Cucumber & Crispy Hen's Egg (£9) to share. Credit where it is due, this was absolutely delicious. Fresh, full of flavour and did a great job of wetting our appetite for the mains. North Essex Shorthorn Roast Rib of Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Roast Potatoes, Carrots & Horseradish (£20 each) was our choice of mains. We had seen this travelling past us to the neighbouring tables, and it felt just right for a Sunday!
On arrival, the mains looked incredible, we had certainly waited for them log enough and without hesitation we began to devour what we hoped would be the answer to the the Sunday-blues. Can I just point out, at this point we were still not asked if we would like anything to drink, though a bottle of water was placed on our table during the routine table set-up/napkin and cutlery placement. This is the exact point where the worms began to climb out of the woodwork, not literally, however that would not surprise me much either. Not long into the main course, and my partner questioned the meat " Darling, how is you meat? Mine appears to be undercooked, look..." pointing to a bloody piece of limp meat which was hidden under the enormous Yorkshire pudding, less amusing now that we were questioning whether the meat was sufficiently cooked. I inspected mine, yes it did appear rather 'rare', but as I am not averse to a little bit of redness in my meat, this did not put me off, completely. My partner did not eat the meat. I was weary that we were neither presented with a choice of how we would like our meat cooked, neither were we advised that this is served rare (raw). At this point it is probably not necessary to talk about the potatoes, but these were, ironically, over-cooked, hard and not very fresh.
Our plates were collected and the routine half-question half-statement was muttered "How was your food...?". I did not hesitate to point out that the meal was disappointing, and the untouched meat on my partner's plate was clearly raw. The waitress apologised, and said she will pass this on to the kitchen. She offered us up the dessert menus, which at this point appeared to be nothing more than flowery words with an unjustifiable price-tag, we opted for coffees. These were the final disappointment of the afternoon, or so we thought, but I will come back to this part of the story last. Our bill was honoured with a measly deduction of my Bloody Mary, and our total was still £61 with both £20 mains inclusive, I found this to be a very poor excuse for an apology!
We had gone in to the Bull & Last with such optimism, only to leave feeling cheated. Cheated is what I wish we felt this morning, clutching on to our stomach in agonising pain. I will spare you the details, but we all know the symptoms of food-poisoning, if not, you can refer to the NHS page on this. Today is a Monday morning, we are unable to attend work and this is undoubtably worth far more than a cost of a Bloody Mary!
Do not bother, unless you are looking for a reason to be out of action!

Michael Untermeyer better steer clear of the strip clubs for the next thirty days. The candidate for Philly DA has chosen to wear an electronic monitoring anklet like the thugs get to wear. Why?
Leading by example, or you know by gimmick, the candidate believes that the state can save millions by slapping these GPS trackers on nonviolent criminal defendants instead of keeping them in jail. Here is a candidate really trying to relate to all the people. You can watch where he is right now on his website.
This reminds me of when my friend tried out his dog's invisible fence collar. He understood the punishment so much more after he ran through it and got shocked in the jugular. Either way, I'd still keep my eyes on Untermeyer to see if he slips up and forgets he is being tracked at all times. Oh in case you really do track him, the site doesn't work in Firefox. That already has to ignore about half of his voting constituency. [Philadelphia Inquirer]

Ok, this is the idea: it's a spin on the tried and tested "battle" format that has given so much joy to so many CWers over the years. What I'm looking for is 32, 64 or 128 teams (depending on uptake) which will then be drawn at random in an FA Cup styley. The (very slight) twist is that you won't be voting for which you think is the best team, has the best history or plays the best football; you'll be voting for the team you would support were they drawn against each other in a cup competition. So if, say Exeter drew Man Utd (it's not without precedent, you know... ) who would you wish to emerge victorious?
I'll start off with the idea of everyone nominating 2 teams and 64 in the draw, but this is subject to revision if interest is greater or smaller than I've guessed. It doesn't have to be a team you support, you could nominate a team just for the thrill of seeing them thrashed. There's no limit on the nationality of the team (so hopefully we can get some interesting cross-national match-ups), you can put forward any association football team who play in a professional league (just please don't nominate a team you and your mates play for and no-one else has ever heard of) and when we have enough teams or the nominations run dry I'll put them into a randomiser.
At the end of it we should know which is the most popular (or, more likely, least hated) football team amongst the CWian football fans.
Devastatingly straightforward, I'm sure you'll all agree. Ok, to kick things off I'll nominate:
Arsenal &
Cambridge United

amunicio necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
ScrapyTown is a soon to be launched Scrapbooking community where users can share their creations and get feedback or look for new ideas for their own scrapbook pages. There will also be product reviews and an events agenda.
The site won't go on production until the middle of May, but we currently have a little blog at scrapyhearts.com that you can check if you want an idea of what we are into. Disregard colors and design, it was put together by my husband :-) .
>>>> Update:
We would like to emphasize the concept of "scrapbooking" over "town". The word town is in the name only to denote community.
Scrapbooking according to Wikipedia, is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of photographs, printed media, and memorabilia contained in decorated albums, or scrapbooks. So concepts related to it would be scissors, pictures, colored or patterned paper, albums, glue, etc...
The favicon is also important! A favicon is a 16×16 pixels scaled down logo that represents the web page in browsers. Even if the full logo is great, if we are not able to scale it down or take a recognizable part of it to fit in 16x16, we could not use it.
ScrapyTown or Scrapytown (the capitalization doesn't really matter).
We are looking for a Scrapbooking themed logo that emphasizes the
creative as well as the community aspect of the site. The logo should
be or contain the "ScrapyTown" name. Ideally the logo should
be simple and look good with few colors so it can be featured in
clothing (so avoid gradients, etc...).
While the logo doesn't require a mascot, if you choose to include one we would prefer a female mascot.
Feel free to go outside of these guidelines if you have an specific vision, you are the professional !
- Full Logo in psd, fonts and vectored format for the images. The idea is that the logo can be scaled or the background changed.
- favicon.ico (should be a scaled down version of the full logo or a recognizable part of it).
- While the site is mainly targeted to women it shouldn't be pinkish.

Lindsay Lohan has broken her sobriety pact by drinking wine since leaving rehab.
The troubled actress vowed to stay away from drink and drugs since she finished her court-ordered treatment in July last year, but she has now confessed she relapsed by indulging in some wine.
Lohan made the admission during the latest episode of her documentary series Lindsay, which aired on Sunday.
The 27 year old was enraged when caught off-guard by her life coach AJ Johnson, who asked if she had been drinking, claiming that her mother Dina had seen her with alcohol, but Lohan denied the allegations and stormed off.
However, Lohan later admits she did relapse, confessing she drank to ease the stress from a troubled relationship with an unnamed boyfriend.
She says, "I rushed into a relationship… and I jumped right into a relationship where we weren't on the same page. I wasn't considering the fact that the person I was seeing does drink and yeah… I had some wine… Yeah, f**k it, I s**ewed up and that's OK."
She also vowed to never let a setback happen again, claiming she felt "so much guilt" for slipping.

As you may have heard a Qantas flight from
This brought to mind an old story that the late Charles Berlitz wrote about in his book "Charles Berlitz's World of Strange Phenomena" on page 209 in the short article "A Massacre in Flight" Mr. Berlitz describes a story with an eerie similarity.
"Something terrifying happened in the air one day in the late summer of 1939-and to this day the incident is shrouded in secrecy.
All that is known is that a military transport plane left the Marine naval Air Force Base in
A little later the plane limped back to base and made an emergency landing. Ground crew members rushed to the craft and when they boarded, they were horrified to see twelve dead men. The only survivor was the copilot, who, though badly injured, had stayed alive long enough to bring the plane back. A few minutes he was dead, too.
All of the bodies had large, gaping wounds. Even weirder, the pilot and copilot had emptied their .45 Colt automatic pistols at something. The empty shells were found lying on the floor of the cockpit. A foul, sulfuric odor pervaded the interior of the craft.
The exterior of the airplane was badly damaged, looking as it had been struck by missiles…The incident was successfully hushed up and did not come to light for fifteen years, when investigator Robert Coe Gardner learned of it from someone who was there. They mystery of what the crew encountered in midair that afternoon in 1939 has never been solved."
This book is a classic work with an incredible amount of intriguing short stories that deal with the paranormal. If you haven't read it I encourage you to buy it here:
What is the connection?
No, not the fuzzy creatures you do not feed after or throw water on.
Or the funky often maligned car from the 70's.
Since World War 1 pilots have claimed to have seen strange creatures tinkering with their aircraft in mid flight. However the existence of such creatures never became widely known until British pilots in World War 2 began to make such experiences public record. The first published report of these creatures appeared in the
The knowledge of these creatures was popularized by author Robert Dahl in his children's book "The Gremlins". However Dahl's creatures while annoying and destructive were cute little cartoon characters who were seeking revenge for the destruction of their home forest in order to build an airplane factory.
However, WW2 pilot's descriptions of real encounters with Gremlins lack Dahl's cute characterization. Many of them witnessed demonic creatures causing havoc with their airplane equipment. Many swore they saw these creatures maliciously tearing apart wiring or instruments before crashes during combat missions over
Famed folklorist John W. Hazen gave a personal experience with a Gremlin in the 1972 edition of Funk and Wagnalls Standard Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology and Legend where he writes that upon inspecting a malfunctioning airplane, he witnessed "a parted cable which bore obvious tooth marks in spite of the fact that the break occurred in a most inaccessible part of the plane." Then he heard an unearthly inhuman voice that seemed to be rebuffing an associate which said , "How many times must you be told to obey orders and not tackle jobs you aren't qualified for? — This is how it should be done." Immdiately Mr. Hazen heard a sound that reminded him of a "musical twang" and before his very eyes another cable snapped apart with the teeth marks clearly visible.
But most of us know of Gremlins by the Twilight Zone story "Nightmare at 20000 feet" where a man sees a Gremlin tearing apart the commercial flight he is on and everyone thinks he is insane.
Ever since this episode hit the airwaves in 1963 there have been very few pilots who have come forth with eye witness activity of these creatures. Mostly for fear of ridicule, but many for fear that they will be grounded for a mental evaluation. But these demonic entities still have a fascination with dismantling aircraft in mid-air to this day.
I helped out in a Christian Bookstore owned by one of the members of my congregation for a few months a couple of years ago. His wife had passed away suddenly and he was overwhelmed. One night we began to talk about the paranormal. As an ex-naval officer during the first Gulf War he told me he had seen things he could not talk about. His quote was "I've seen things that come straight out of the X-Files." while working on a certain Aircraft Carrier in the Gulf. I prodded and prodded but he refused to tell me any details about UFOs or what exactly he meant by the comment in connection with the Government conspiracy theme that ran through that Television program. But he did tell me that he and a few fellow servicemen onboard did have encounters with little creatures of amazing power who have a fascination with airplanes. He had never fully seen them himself, but one time he witnessed a little shadowy creature tear a hole in aircraft like it was made out of aluminum foil to get at inside components. The creature dashed over the nose of the plane and disappeared. A pilot friend of his swore that he saw a small impish creature trying to rip off a flap of a F/A 18 Hornet of his wingman on their way to a sortie over
He also told a me a few years ago that he had a few friends who had investigated the fatal crash of Senator Paul Wellstone in 2002 who noticed some very strange markings on the exterior of the craft. It was as if something with claws had torn open the plane in mid flight. Search as I might I can find nothing to back this claim up. But there are many on the web who see conspiracies of varying orders surrounding the Senator's plane crash.
So what happened late Thursday night as this plane flew from
Shotty workmanship and maintenance on Qantas' part?
Or something else?
Oh for the good old days when the only thing we had to worry about when we flew was the poor quality of the food being served in-flight.
Until next time,
Pastor Swope

"The 3.5" heel is the perfect height to elongate the leg without sacrificing comfort."
"You can thank me when you realize you have the perfect, most comfortable booties that go with EVERYTHING in your closet!"
"Wanted to send you a pic of your fabulous shoes I wore for my wedding. :) They kept me comfortable all night- Thank you!"
"OBSESSED with the shoes! They fit like a glove. They are so classic and very comfortable! I will definitely be spreading the word... I'll be shouting from the rooftops!"
"When I go onstage for an hour long celebrity charity auction, I need a pair of shoes that are super chic but also comfortable. My silver Inez heels are the perfect solution. I definitely felt like the most powerful woman in the room rocking my Inez shoes!"
"These shoes were everything good I was expecting. I normally buy insoles with every pair of shoes I buy. Not with these. I had confidence with every step, no flip-flopping off my feet. No sliding. The insoles, lining, and construction of the shoes and leather soles was impressive; visible quality. And without a doubt they're beautiful."
"Thank you so much for the lovely shoes, beautiful packaging, note and extra heel tips. The booties are super comfortable. I normally wouldn't spend that much on shoes, but now that I see your attention to detail and quality, I will be a repeat customer."
"Love the beautiful feminine styling of all the shoes/boots and the superior quality, from the well thought-out footbed to three different widths and high-quality leather and suede! I truly do love all the styles and great selection of colors in this collection. I want them all <3 :-)"
"They sent 2 pairs in slightly different sizes for me to try. I kept the one I liked and mailed back the one I didn't want. Awesome idea and amazingly comfortable high heel!!! Walked around in midtown for lunch and my feet actually didn't hurt."

Cool, original, quirky and fun but Battleborn just falls short.
2K's Battleborn launched this week and reviewers have been struggling to figure out exactly how they feel about it.
The backdrop to the story is that every species fled to a star known as Solus after a disastrous event destroyed most other planets and stars in the universe.
These species are divided into different factions upon their arrivals, and eventually they united and cooperate with each other by sending out the best fighters, who are labelled as battleborn, to fight against Varelsi, the origin of the catastrophe.
From the outset I feel I must say that overall Battleborn is a brave game with some very bold ideas.
I loved the way Battleborn looks, the graphics and the controls - even if combat is a tad tricky to master. In fact the complexity of the combat actually has you wanting more.
I predicted in this column pre-launch that the mini-map may be a gamers' best friend in Battleborn given Gearbox Interactive's decision to make this a first rather than third-person shooter thus narrowing your field of vision in a chaotic landscape.
While that is not entirely true, there are elements where you find yourself staring at it for a touch too long.
The missions are fun and pretty hilarious at times and the whole concept and design is utterly unique.
But it is spoiled by the painful length of matches and leaves you asking why are they so long...
Perhaps this is something that can be fixed with a patch because it is a big issue.
A wider variety of maps - again something which could be addressed with DLC or updates - would also help keep gamers' interest. At the moment there are not enough.
Having to relevel your Battleborn every match also becomes very painful, very quickly.
The humour and animated cut scenes are right up with some of the best in gaming, it's just a shame there aren't even more of them.
That said there is plenty of good about Battleborn and it is still a worthy and original addition to the next gen shooter roster.
But I can't help feel that this game's saving grace long-term will be DLC and updates to smooth off some of the awkward edges.
Rating: 7.5/10

If you hear David Horst's teammates yelling, "I'm gonna wreck it!" at him, be aware that it is a compliment.
The saying is the motto of popular Disney character Wreck-It Ralph, a loveable giant whose job is to destroy things. The Houston Dynamo newcomer has earned the nickname for his stature, a stout 6-foot-4, and his ability to be physical and disruptive in the back.
Host lived up to the name in Saturday's season-opening 4-0 win over the New England Revolution, dominating in the air and making several important sliding tackles to snuff out attacking opportunities, including one on Diego Fagundez that halted a one-on-one chance in the penalty area.
It was a performance worthy of the nickname.
"It fits," goalkeeper Tally Hall said with a laugh. "He's a very big guy, very strong, and destroys a lot of the other team's attack. It was fun playing with him in the preseason, and it was fun playing with him Saturday."
Horst has embraced the nickname, joking about it on Twitter. However, his play in his Dynamo debut was no laughing matter.
@tallyhallGK @SebiSalazarCSN I'll gladly accept that nickname! Need to get myself some overalls
— David Horst (@davidhorst12) March 11, 2014
The newcomer started next to Jermaine Taylor in his first competitive game in Dynamo orange and seemed to fit seamlessly into the Dynamo defense, showing a good understanding with Taylor and right back Kofi Sarkodie.
It was a welcome start for a player that arrived in Houston in an under-the-radar move after spending most of 2013 on the injured list, first with a groin injury and then a broken bone in his right leg – suffered in a collision with now-teammate Giles Barnes – as the Portland Timbers made a run to finishing first in the Western Conference. In spite of that injury-marred season, his physical attributes drew the attention of Houston head coach Dominic Kinnear.
"You saw how good he was in the air," Kinnear said. "I think it's going to be a strength of ours for him to attack those."
With his strong presence slotted next to Taylor, also capable of playing physically, Saturday's success offers a glimpse of a strengthened Dynamo backline. Over the long season, however, Horst & Co. must develop as a unit and be prepared to handle opposing counter-attacks, against which they struggled in the preseason.
"Obviously, we're still working to learn each other's tendencies," Horst said. "The other three guys have been together and played a lot together, so I'm just coming in and trying to do what [Kinnear] wants me to do, which is win my tackles and win every head ball."
Tackles, headers, maybe opponents? Horst's teammates hope he will continue wrecking, even without Ralph's trademark overalls.
"I like Horst, he brings some tenacity," Sarkodie said after Saturday's win. "He brings a lot of tenacity, a lot of power and a lot of grit. I think that's going to scare a lot of teams this season as we move forward."

Several recorded bugfixes include improvements to the personal information management suite Kontact, the UML tool Umbrello, the document viewer Okular, the web browser Konqueror, the file manager Dolphin, and others.The Plasma calculator can handle Greek letters now, and Okular can print pages with long titles. A bugfix brought Konqueror better web fonts support.

To find out more about the 4.11 versions of KDE Workspaces, Applications and Development Platform, please refer to the 4.11 release notes.
Buffer Age Implementation in KWin
With 4.11.5 KWin got a major performance improvement with the support of buffer age extension on drivers which support it.
By Martin Gräßlin at Wed, 2014/01/08 - 6:49am
NVIDIA proprietary driver only, or some other drivers too? Anyway, thanks for all your work on improving kwin.
By Vajsvarana at Wed, 2014/01/08 - 3:58pm
at the moment I think NVIDIA
at the moment I think NVIDIA is the only driver providing the extension for GLX. But it's generic and should just work if the drivers add support for it.
By Martin Gräßlin at Thu, 2014/01/09 - 10:15am
Catalyst has supported it for 6 months.
By Dennis Martin Herbers at Sun, 2014/01/12 - 6:04pm
Updates versioning
So this latest update of 4.11 comes after the release of 4.12?
By alvise at Wed, 2014/01/08 - 10:47pm
Correct. And: "current generation Plasma Workspaces will continue to receive updates until August 2015." so there will be more.

Now, I can at least match my gear to look like I am not a kindergartner who has insisted on dressing all by herself (the kind that wants to wear rain galoshes and a football helmet)... or completely forego the tier model and avoid looking like I'm decaying (t13 mushrooms). Instead... I am dressing as sailor moon with bird wings!
There have been elements of previous tier gear that I really liked, and revisiting their appearance, even in a mashup of tiers and expansions, is fun!
- Hat: Conqueror's Nightsong Headpiece (Ulduar)
- Shoulders: Passive Resistor Spaulders (BWD heroic)
- Chest: Obsidian Arborweave Raiment (Firelands normal)
- Gloves: Obsidian Arborweave Handwraps (Firelands normal)
- Belt: Firescar Sash (Firelands vendor)
- Legs: Kilt of Immortal Nature (Black Temple)
- Staff: Staff of the Plague Beast (WotLK Naxx) - I like the bit of Celtic design to it

Sermon delivered April 20, 2008.
Yesterday, at the end of the Liturgy for the raising of Lazaros, I asked the children in attendance if they noticed anything different about the decoration of the church. One of them correctly noted that all the purple clothes and coverings were gone. Purple is a royal color. It is the color of the robe that the soldiers mockingly put on Christ before crucifying Him. We Orthodox Christians use purple in the church during Lent to remind us of Christ's royalty as King of the Jews and to remind us of His suffering and how we mock Him with our words and actions. Being reminded, we should then be motivated to repentance and confession of our sins and trespasses. However, what we see yesterday and today, Palm Sunday, is gold coverings and palm branches decorating the church. These are symbols of victory and joy because Christ has demonstrated His power to give life by raising Lazaros from the dead and now He triumphantly enters Jerusalem.
To underline this period of celebration, the Church assigns St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians 4:4-9 as the epistle reading today. It begins with, "Rejoice in the Lord always," and in case you missed the point, St. Paul immediately repeats the message, "Again I will say, rejoice!" (v.4). These words are not a request but a command. We are told to be joyful. As Christians we must rejoice. It is our duty. Jesus Himself commands us to rejoice several times in the gospels. Most notably during the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells us to rejoice, not when things are going great, but when people persecute us and slander us (Mt.5:12).
Yet, as all of us know, it's not easy to be joyful all the time. Even when things on seem to be going very well, we can struggle to be happy. We may feel down and depressed but for no good reason that we are aware of. For a few, the struggle with depression is very difficult and brought on by chemical changes within the body that require medical attention. For most of us the struggle to rejoice is a result of a few key things that may be missing in our life. One of those key things, perhaps the most important of all is the "peace of God" (v.7). St. Paul says the peace of God, through Jesus Christ, can guard our hearts and minds. It's like a fortress of protection abound our inner sanctum.
How may one acquire the peace of God? It's quite simple. St. Paul commands, he doesn't ask, "By prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God" (v.6). We must pray. We must talk to God. We need to let Him know what's going on in our life. Not because God doesn't know what's going on. Rather, because we need to turn towards the only Person who can ultimately help with whatever we are anxious, whatever we have anxiety about. Even if God does not change the external circumstances of our life, He can provide the grace that guards our heart and mind so that our inner life is not dictated by what's going on around us. In order to 'rejoice always', we need to pray always.
Now some may say, "I pray everyday or I pray a lot and I still feel depressed and unhappy." But wait a minute, read the fine print in verse 6. Our prayers, supplications and requests must be made to God with one key ingredient—thanksgiving. I'm sure most of us heard from our elders, "Be thankful for what you have." Asking for more of this and more of that, get me this and give me that is not always the key to our happiness and well-being. Being grateful for what we already have, however little it may be, is the key to rejoicing. So, each day in prayer, make a list of things you are grateful for and then thank God for them.
There is another element to rejoicing that accompanies prayer and thanksgiving. We all know what daydreaming is and we kind of picture it has the typical looking out the window when we have nothing else to do. I would assert that we probably daydream more than we think we do in the sense that we all have momentary or extended thought distractions during the day even when we are busy doing something and even during conversations with other people. Thoughts of all different kinds are constantly running through our mind. These thoughts have the power to bring us joy or to bring us sorrow, anger, distress and anxiety and other emotions.
St. Paul recognizes the power of thought and therefore instructs us, commands us to think about the very things that will contribute to rejoicing. He says "whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, praiseworthy—meditate on these things" (v.8). In other words, in order to be joyful, don't think about what you know to be false or never happened or has not happened yet. Do not concentrate on people's imperfections and mistakes. Don't mull over injustices done to yourself and others. Do not fill your mind with impure, lustful stories and images. Do meditate on the inherent beauty of God's creation. Do listen to good news and do not listen to slander or gossip. Hearing these commands, hopefully we see the wisdom of turning off the television, especially during Lent, to guard our heart and mind. Hopefully, we understand the necessity of avoiding idle talk and gossip so as not to tempt our brothers and sisters as they seek to guard their heart and mind.
Implicit in these commands is that our thought involves our free-will, our choice. The peace of God cannot guard our heart and mind if we keep filling it up with junk and garbage. We must participate in the clean-up of anger, depression and hopelessness within us. God will not do it for us while we continue in a life contradictory to His commands. The power and ability to rejoice lies within us in as much as we receive, as much as we let in, the triumphant Lord, Jesus Christ to reign victorious on throne of our soul. Let us lay down our garment of humility before Him and wave our branches of rejoicing. Amen.
Fr. Richard Demetrius Andrews is the pastor of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fr. Andrews is the past president of Minnesota Eastern Orthodox Christian Clergy Association (MEOCCA), and a volunteer chaplain with the St. Paul Police Department.

Classic Trilogy "Ultimate Edition" In The Works?
November 21, 2003, 11:01 AM »
I got this from Rebelscum today, and sounds pretty sweet, i really wish it would happen but it is something to question? Read it over and tell me what you think about it:
Classic Trilogy Ultimate Edition In The Works
It has been reported all over the web and on this website for months, though now there's a resurgence in the rumors that an eventual and final release of the Classic Trilogy is coming. Where these rumors are coming from now is a person emailing a list of changes to websites and telling them work is being done. And while we can defintiely confirm that ILM is working on the movies for plenty of enhancements, the list may or may not be accurate. Here's the run down of possible and very rumored changes:
Episode IV: A New Hope
1. The Imperial March has been added to Darth Vader's first appearance on Princess Leia's ship.
2. When Obi-Wan is talking to Luke about his father Anakin's Theme plays in the background and then it turns into the Imperial March as he talks about Vader.
3. The lightsaber effects have been redone and the frame jumps of lightsabers being turned on has been removed.
4. There's a new scene which has been shot during the filming of Episode III in which the Emperor dissolves the Senate.
5. In the Cantina, the Duros (green aliens guys) have been replaced with Neimoidians and some aliens from the prequels have been added.
6. The bleeding arm on the floor in the Cantina has been replaced with a non-bleeding arm because it's now canon that lightsabers cauterize wounds.
7. The original shooting scene between Han and Greedo has been restored.
8. Jabba the Hutt has been given a makeover and Han no longer steps on his tale.
9. In place of R2 wobbling down the stairs to the Falcon's hangar, a CG R2 navigating the stairs like he does in Attack of the Clones was added.
10. The white boxes around space ships have been removed and new CG shots have been added.
11. The scene of the Falcon being chased by the two Star Destroyers was modified. The Falcon now does spinning moves, avoiding the Star Destroyers' fire.
12. When the Death Star destroys Alderaan there's a new scene of Yoda's reaction to the disturbance in the Force that is created by all those deaths and then it cuts to Obi-Wan reacting to it as well.
13. The Dianoga has gotten a CG makeover and were are now able to see more of the creature.
14. The Death Star's paneling and computers have been slightly altered to show similar displays to those in the prequels.
15. The words "Tractor Beam" with Aurebesh lettering.
16. More stormtroopers have been added to the Death Star.
17. Temuera Morrison's voice is being recorded for use with all the stormtroopers.
18. The Obi-Wan/Vader duel has been spruced up. It is much more epic and there is much more movement. A modified version of Duel of the Fates is being considered for the scene.
19. The Death Star plans that are taken from R2 have been updated. When the Rebels are reviewing the Death Star plans they look similar to the plans we see in Attack of the Clones.
20. The Death Star battle is much more epic with more Tie Fighters and more Rebels being blown to bits. We get to see old Naboo starfighters being used by the Rebels.
21. There's a new scene (shot during Episode III) where Darth Vader goes to Coruscant and lands his ship in the same building Count Dooku does at the end of Attack of the Clones. Except now the building is all fixed up and it is now Palpatine's palace. He meets with Palpatine to ask for forgiveness for his failure and inform him of a new potential who is strong in the Force.
22. Chewbacca now gets a medal.
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
1.The taun-tauns are now CG.
2. The battle of Hoth is much more epic. We see the Imperial ships land on Hoth and release AT-ATs. The AT-ATs have been sped up a bit. There's a ground battle between the Rebel soldiers and stormtroopers featuring new ships and vehicles.
3. Temuera Morrison's voice is being recorded for the older Boba Fett and all the stormtroopers.
4. The white boxes around space ships have been removed.
5. The slug monster is CG.
6. Ian McDiarmid has refilmed scenes as the Emperor. The conversations between Vader and Palpatine is now longer and features a few connections to the prequels.
7. Yoda's face is now animated in CG allowing more expression of emotions yet his movements remain the same. Also two deleted scenes featuring Yoda instructing Luke have been restored.
8. A new scene was shot in which the stormtroopers, after they capture Han, Leia and Chewie, bring Vader the box containing C-3PO in pieces. Vader orders the stormtroopers to bring the broken droid to Chewbacca's cell so that he can fix him.
9. The lightsaber effects have been redone in certain parts.
10. Luke's fall from Cloud City has been reshot against bluescreen using a stuntman.
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
1. Jabba the Hutt is now a combination of the puppet and CG.
2. The Rancor is CG and looks disgusting as ever.
3. Yoda is CG. Yoda disappears leaving his clothes behind like Obi-Wan now.
4. The ewoks are now mostly CG and there are a lot more of them.
5. The plan is to insert the love theme Across the Stars when Luke is talking with Leia about their mother.
6. Temuera Morrison's like before is now the voice for Boba Fett and all the stormtroopers.
7. In the battle of Endor there are thousands of Ewoks and they are more vicious than there midgets-in-suits counterparts. More bite the dust now.
8. White boxes around ships removed.
9. The black blotches around Palpatine's face are gone.
10. Some of the lightsaber effects have been redone. The shadows that the lightsabers made on the floor are gone.
11. During Anakin's death scene it starts with a sad rendition of the Imperial March and slowly evolves into Anakin's Theme.
12. Sebastion Shaw who played Anakin when he was unmasked has been replaced with Hayden Christenson in make-up to make him look older. Anakin has much more dialogue. He apologizes for the destruction he caused, he thanks his son for turning him back to the light, he tells his son to rebuild the Jedi and he says he loves him and his sister. Just before he dies he says, "It is finished...".
13. We see more planets celebrating at the end of the movie. We see an aged Jar Jar, who is now the leader of the Gungans, on Naboo celebrating with the people of Naboo and the Gungans. We see an old Watto, who is now unable to fly, sitting in a hover chair cheering on Tatooine. During these scenes Across the Stars plays transitioning to the victory celebration music at the Ewok tree village.
14. Anakin's spirit is now played by Hayden Christenson with make-up to make him look his age. He looks on proudly at his son Luke with the spirit of Padme by his side.
Again, these are more of a wish list than accurate information. We also wanted to tell you something perhaps even more significant. Episode I: The Phantom Menace is getting a full overhaul as well. We'll leave you with that for now.
A little "fishy" weird list, but i kinda like it, i hope it is true.

I hate how these lists are raising hopes for some people. I am 99% sure that all these changes are bogus. We will be getting the SE versions next year. The only thing that got changed on these cuts is the lightsabers were cleaned up in the duel between Vader and Ben. I stress no new scenes were added and the lightsabers reflections, etc were cleaned up.

I'll take it with a grain of salt, but if done right, would actually be happy with most of the those additions. The one glaring one is Padme's ghost, just doesn't seem right.
However, Ultimate Edition or not, I still want the original trilogy in its purest virgin form also.

Looks to me like a lot of what us collectors and lovers of the OT have been asking for was simply stuck onto a big list... its probably bogus. All the Hayden additions would suck anyway.

A lot of the changes could be very cool, but I see no reason to add different music, add Natalie Portman and Hayden Christianson to ROTJ, have Yoda react to Alderaan, or have Jango's voice added in for all the Stormtroopers, no need to add Jar Jar and Watto to the end of ROTJ, no need in having R2D2 hover down the stairs, and no reason to redo Jabba from ROTJ. I hope all of those are just bogus.
Most of the other stuff seems pretty cool though; especially making some of the battles appear more epic with more troops and ships.

OMG! Don't add Jar Jar to the OT in any form I didn't like his ass in Ep I or Ep II... Don't Plage ROTJ with that Bloody Fool Unless it's to show his Death. As far as showing a Padme In ROTJ that is insane she wasn't a Jedi and she didn't have anything special about her... Spirts are reserved for Jedi.
As for the redo of Ep I all I can say is... Whatca waiting on get to work. Don't forget kut out as much of Jar Jar as can be, the less I see of him the better.

Jar Jar Binks in my opinion is the best New Trilogy Character alongside Qui-Gon. Out of the new Trilogy I do not like the character of Jango Fett.
There is truth to the Original SE Trilogy getting some updated material. At C2 I was talking with some guys from ILM and they told me back than that they were already making some visual updates to the original films. They said there were some things that would help tie up all six movies, visual enhancements such as computer dispalys, ect. From what I have been told and from now what I have been hearing that this updated version of the Original Trilogy is George Lucas's last attempt to get the film finished the way it was susposed to be.
I do not think that there will be major changes to the films, just minor things to make all of the films look consistant.
Take this with a grain of salt but from what I have been told the SE Trilogy comes out on DVD in 2004, E3 in 2005 (DVD probably by Christmas), and a Star Wars Saga Gift Set in 2006/2007.
I do not think that the changes will be as drastic as the SE changes. But there are changes being made. What they exactly are nobody can say except the artists at ILM.
We will just have to wait and see.

To be honest I would be very surprised if there are tons of changes. I would think Boba Binks comments would be more on the mark.

There was 3 guys stranded in the mountains and they weren't going to be rescued for 3 days. So they all made a plan that each night one would get the food. So the first night the 1st guy goes out and comes back with a big deer. So the guy who was hunting tomorrow ask for advice on how to catch another one, and the guy said see tracks, follow tracks, BAM!! shot the deer... So the next night the 2nd guy went out and came back with an even bigger deer than the 1st guys, and the 3rd guy was amazed so he asked how he could catch one like that for the next night. And the guy told him see tracks, follow tracks, BAM!! shot the deer... The next night the 3rd guy went out to get a deer and comes back hours later all beat up and bloody, so the the other 2 guys ask what happen. And the guy said i seen tracks, followed tracks, BAM!! got hit by train.
A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the wife awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother. The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her. The wife cried, "What are we going to do?" "Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."
Two hunters are in the woods in deer season. The morning hunt over, they head back to camp together. As they make their way along the path, they hear a loud crashing noise and look up to see a very large bear charging down a hillside. Realizing simultaneously, that they are the bear's intended targets, not to mention lunch, one of the hunters immediately takes off his back pack, drops to the ground and begins to change from his hunting boots to tennis shoes. The other hunter bewildered asks "You don't really think you can out run that bear do you?" The first hunter replies, "No, but I can outrun you."
An African village was troubled by a man-eating lion. So its leaders sent a message to the great white hunter, to come and kill the beast. For several nights the hunter lay in wait for the lion, but it never showed up. Finally, he told the tribal chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait for the lion. In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the sound of blood-curdling shrieks coming from the pasture. As they carefully approached, they saw the hunter lying there, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion. "What happened, bwana? Where is the lion?" asked the chief. "Forget the lion!" he howled. "Which of you let the bull loose?"
A couple of Oklahoma hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, lets make sure he's dead."
... There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "OK, now what?"
At the police station, Bubba explained to the police officer why his cousins shot him. "Well," Bubba began, "We wuz havin' a good time drinking, when my cousin Ray picked up his shotgun and said, 'Hey, der ya fellows, wanna go hunting?'" "And then what happened?" the officer interrupted. "From what I remember," Bubba said, "I stood up and said, 'Sure, I'm game.'"

7 hospitalized after Teton Park tour bus crash
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. – A bus carrying Asian tourists flipped on its side on a busy highway in Grand Teton National Park, and seven people were hospitalized, park officials said.
The other 20 people aboard were taken to a Wyoming hospital for evaluation and treatment and were released after the Thursday crash, park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said.
Two of the victims were airlifted to a hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and were listed in fair condition on Friday. Five were hospitalized in Jackson, Wyoming, with non-life-threatening injuries, Skaggs said.
Some of those hospitalized in Jackson might require surgery, she said. No other details were available.
Skaggs said the passengers were from one or more Asian nations, but she didn't have specifics.
The driver was among those taken to the Jackson hospital. It was not immediately known if he had been discharged. His name wasn't released.
The crash occurred on U.S. 89 north of Colter Bay Village on Jackson Lake. Authorities believe the bus went off the pavement and the driver over-corrected, causing the bus to flip on its side and slide, Skaggs said. She didn't know how far it slid.
No other vehicles were involved.
Park rangers and the Wyoming Highway Patrol were investigating. Skaggs said no charges had been filed.
U.S. 89 runs north-south through the park and connects Grand Teton with Yellowstone National Park to the north. It was closed for about four hours after the crash, reopening at 9:20 p.m., Skaggs said.
This is the busiest time of year for Grand Teton and the heavily traveled highway, she said.
Skaggs described the bus as medium sized and said it was bound for Yellowstone.
The driver stayed with the vehicle until all the passengers had been attended to and was taken to the hospital by a park ranger, she said.

Finance Options
The Barren rug by Ted Baker is a contemporary design with a hint of retro chic, this hexagon dot pattern is a great choice for your living space.
Internationally renowned British designer Ted Baker is well known and respected in the fashion world, but the story of how he was inspired to design rugs is fascinating. Ted's appreciation for a beautiful rug began on the snowy summit for the Altai Mountains in Siberia. Seeking a lightbulb moment and a breath of fresh air, he stumbled (quite literally) upon a magnificently embellished piece of carpet buried under a snow-capped rock. Inspired by the stylish scrap of tapestry found at 4,000 feet, each rug is lovingly handcrafted, weaving Ted Baker's signature eye for style with superb quality craftsmanship.
Available in the following sizes:
140cm x 200cm
170cm x 240cm

Q: How can I tell if my fish are ready for a lighter diet?
Steve – Wallingford, PA
A: When feeding your koi and pond fish, a "lighter diet" doesn't mean that your finned friends need to switch to low-cal, low-fat foods. Instead, it refers to an easy-to-digest wheat germ-based diet that's formulated for the fishes' slowed activity and metabolism during the transitional fall and spring months.
Wheat germ-based diets, such as The Pond Guy® Spring & Fall Fish Food, are packed with vegetable protein, amino acids and digestive enzymes. These diets, which help them ease into and out of winter, are gentle on their digestive systems while keeping their constitutions strong to fight off disease.
How do you know when it's time to switch diets? Here are three clues:
- Temperature: When your water temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, you should feed your active, hungry fish protein- and carbohydrate-balanced foods, like The Pond Guy® Growth & Vibrance Fish Food. But when water temperatures dip to between 40 to 50 degrees, they require the lighter, wheat germ-based foods. Use your Pond Thermometer to keep an eye on the water temperature as the days and nights get cooler.
- Fish Mobility: Are your koi and goldfish moving a bit more slowly than they normally do? That's another clue that it's time to switch to a lighter food. Fish will naturally begin to slow down their activity in cooler water as their bodies begin to prepare for their annual "hibernation."
- Feeding Interest: As the fish slow their activity and require less food to fuel their metabolisms, they won't be as interested in the tasty morsels as they are in the summer. So if your koi and goldfish seem to have turned into picky eaters, that's your third clue that it's time to switch to a lighter diet.
When water temperatures fall to below 40 degrees, that's when it's time to stop feeding your fish altogether. Don't worry: They won't starve! Their bodies, which need very few nutrients to sustain them during the cold months, have plenty of fat stored—but you can bet they'll be ready for a nice, big meal when spring arrives.

A virus in the U.S. Great Lakes that has killed tens of thousands of fish in recent years is spreading and poses a threat to inland fish farming, a U.S. Agriculture Department official said Monday.
CHICAGO -- A virus in the U.S. Great Lakes that has killed tens of thousands of fish in recent years is spreading and poses a threat to inland fish farming, a U.S. Agriculture Department official said Monday.
The pathogen, viral hemorrhagic septicemia, or VHS, causes internal bleeding in fish. It does not harm humans, even if they eat infected fish.
The federal agency issued an emergency order in October to limit movement of live fish caught in the eight states bordering the Great Lakes and two Canadian provinces.
"We're concerned that this virus could get out of the Great Lakes and affect other populations," Jill Roland, a fish pathologist and assistant director for aquaculture for the USDA in Riverdale, Maryland, said in a telephone interview.
"The virus could potentially affect the catfish industry," she said.
Catfish make up the largest sector of the $1 billion U.S. aquaculture industry, accounting for $462 million in sales, according to a 2005 USDA aquaculture census.
The public first began hearing about the virus after a die-off of fish in Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and the upper St. Lawrence River in May 2006 with dead fish washing up on beaches.
There is little the government can do to prevent the spread of the disease, other than limiting human movement of fish that may have the virus.
Fish caught in the Great Lakes may be used as bait in other parts of the country, with extra fish dumped into the water. Commercial farms sometimes get their breeding stock from wild fish.
However, fish migrate naturally and the Great Lakes does connect with the Mississippi River, a major waterway that runs to the Gulf of Mexico.
Scientists believe the VHS virus has been in the Great Lakes since 2003. Its origin is unknown but researchers think it may have come from bilge water released from one or more of the hundreds of ocean-going vessels plying the Lakes.
Another strain of the virus has affected trout and other freshwater fish raised commercially in Europe for several years.
"It has caused huge problems," said Roland of the virus in Europe.
Scientists are not sure how easily the virus is transmitted between fish and what percentage of infected fish develop symptoms and die. Fish can also be infected by water contaminated with the virus.
"We're not quite sure just how deadly to fish it's going to be yet," said John Dettmers, senior fishery biologist at the Great Lakes Fishery Commission in Michigan. "There are 37 susceptible species so far that we are aware of."
Those species include lake whitefish, walleye and yellow perch, all among the top commercially fished species in the Great Lakes, Dettmers said.
Symptoms can include bulging eyes, bloated abdomens and lesions that look similar to other diseases, so testing is necessary to confirm VHS is the cause.
The virus has been detected in three of the five Great Lakes -- Huron, Ontario and Erie. It will probably eventually spread to lakes Michigan and Superior, Dettmers said.

Report: Bergdahl's platoon mates seek book, movie deal
Six former platoon mates of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who spent nearly five years as a Taliban captive in Afghanistan, are shopping proposals for a book and movie that is sharply critical of him, Yahoo News is reporting.
Bergdahl is now being questioned by the Army concerning the mysterious circumstances surrounding his capture in 2009. The Army is trying to determine whether he merely wandered too far from base or should be charged with desertion.
A draft of the book proposal, obtained by Yahoo News, asserts that Bergdahl was a "premeditated" deserter who "put all of our lives in danger."
Bergdahl's former colleagues describe him as a "loner" who sometimes was gung-ho about fighting the Taliban. But shortly before his disappearance, the soldiers write, Bergdahl started "to talk about what it would be like to just get lost in the mountains surrounding the outpost." He also began studying the local languages and mailed his laptop, photos and other personal items home.
When Bergdahl disappeared, the platoon frantically searched for him, chasing fragments of intelligence that included reports that a "strange white man" matching Bergdahl's description had been seen "crawling in the reeds" just outside the base.
But the controversy over Bergdahl's release — he was swapped May 31 for five Taliban prisoners held at the U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — is reportedly complicating the book's chances at publication. At least one publisher raised concerns that the book would give ammunition to conservative critics of the Obama adminstration.
In an e-mail to one of the soldiers' agents, Sarah Durand, an editor at a division of Simon & Schuster, compared the book to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which raised questions about John Kerry's Vietnam service during the 2004 presidential campaign, Yahoo News reported.
In interviews, two of the soldiers told Yahoo News they just wanted to set the record straight on Bergdahl.
"There was no way we were going to sit down and be quiet while (President) Obama was calling him a war hero," Evan Buetow, Bergdahl's former team leader, told Yahoo News. "We're just trying to tell the truth. It's not my fault this would make Obama look bad."
Buetow and Cody Full, Bergdahl's former roommate, told Yahoo News they were recently questioned in the Army's investigation into Bergdahl — a fact that could be another problem for the book-movie project, Yahoo News reported.
The soldiers' Hollywood agent, Bettina Sofia Viviano, told Yahoo News she is pitching the proposal to studios as an "action-adventure in the vein of Lone Survivor or Saving Private Ryan."
Bergdahl was assigned to regular duty at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in July after several weeks of therapy and counseling at an Army hospital in San Antonio.

From an award-winning poet, a new collection in which the political and the personal converge in innovative and beautiful ways
In his fourth collection, Terrance Hayes investigates how we construct experience. With one foot firmly grounded in the everyday and the other hovering in the air, his poems braid dream and reality into a poetry that is both dark and buoyant. Cultural icons as diverse as Fela Kuti, Harriet Tubman, and Wallace Stevens appear with meditations on desire and history. We see Hayes testing the line between story and song in a series of stunning poems inspired by the Pecha Kucha, a Japanese presentation format. This innovative collection presents the light- headedness of a mind trying to pull against gravity and time. Fueled by an imagination that enlightens, delights, and ignites, Lighthead leaves us illuminated and scorched.

Stepping in to stop illegal activity
Attorney Generals stopping people taking advantage of immigrants
A new industry is popping up around Albuquerque, allegedly taking advantage of illegal immigrants trying to gain legal status. One man who got busted by the attorney general's office said he was doing a service to the immigrant community, but the attorney general office said what he's doing is against the law.
Undercover video given to Action Seven News by the attorney general's office, it shows Elias Bermudez offering consulting services to an immigrant out of a store in Southeast Albuquerque. Bermudez was explaining how to fill out forms about how to get a job in the states legally for a donation of $150.
For the person to do this legally, with an attorney, the attorney general's office said it would cost at least $1,000 or more.
It's that donation that got Bermudez in trouble.
"The law in N.M. says anyone who charges for this, directly or indirectly, is violating the law as a non-attorney," said Joel-Cruz Esparanza of the New Mexico Attorney General's Office.
The attorney general's office stopped Bermudez, but they said this is the seventh case in the area over the past year and a half.
Desperate immigrants think they're getting a deal, but one attorney said that one bad piece of advice can have devastating consequences.
"It can ruin any chance they have to immigrate lawfully in the future," said Jessica Martin of the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center.
But Bermudez had a different take on things and said the attorney general's office is stopping people from getting help they really need.
Bermudez said he was not giving legal advice but helping them fill out forms, something he agreed to never do in New Mexico again; it's also something he was stopped from doing in Arizona in 2009.
