Just read the first few (prologue and 1-2) chapters and I'm hooked.
I'm such a sucker for light-hearted story lines as this, especially when it involves such a broad (as far as I know yet) cast. Good characters with distinct personality always appeal to me. It says it's a love story, so I can only assume the direction it will turn, but then again, I always fall for those types of stories as well...
So long as it doesn't involve Twilight-esque love-crap.

can't say from the picture alone that it will better than the current adaptation, but I'm glad they are giving the new serialization a really nice artwork---Sena looks lovely. Makes me think they are trying to expand the franchise by publishing the work on Jump Square. I get the feeling it might be a spin off; hopefully it turns out interesting as well.
a shame the anime has not been announced, yet. :P

Oh man a spinoff series that centers more around my fav girl?!
If this is the case, I hope they manage to capture most of the feel of Sena from this serialization with some twists added in
And yea I do like the artwork shown there I really hope the manga follows suit.
Ona side note, while I do enjoy Itachi's artwork here, I'd love to see how this would also look if done by Buriki, his style is awesome.

Although this is the manga thread, I still want to post this news.
In このライトノベルがすごい!(This Light Novel is Amazing!) 2011, "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai" is in the first place!
congratulation! Hirasaka sensei!
Edit:the news has not been confirmed. I maybe over-excited. We should wait for the official announcement.
Edit:Too bad the news isn't true. The first place is "Toaru Majutsu no Index" but still "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai" is still within top 10.

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai+ is out
the art is much better but the story is a bit err... normal
it is a parallel world and Sena is main girl
the story changed a lot and become a normal "boy meet girl"
Yozora doesn't recognized Kodaka yet and the counter-attack will be in the next chapter

checked the first chapter of "Plus" out of curiosity. I will probably post my thoughts later, but after quickly going through the pages, I don't think the artwork is better than Itachi's. Figures feel stiff, paneling and overall visual aspect does not feel as dynamic, gestural, or expressive, and there isn't a nice balance of dark and lights. Sena's character design looks great, though, and so is Yozora; but Kodaka no longer looks like a yankee and Maria seems too old for me.
can't comment on the story, yet.

Linking raws is allowed as long as the series is not licensed as far as I know. Well anyways thanks for the link though I too think the artwork is worse in this one. Specially the main hero's design looks off.
On the other hand it has more romance implications than the whole chapters of non-plus manga so far.

Talking about the manga anyone know how is the publication?
The manga hasn't updated its translations a good time.
EDIT: New episode of the manga is already to be read.
- LOL at the cubism.
- Yukimura talking about the manlyness is like "J" from Heat Guy J .
- Sena in 8 bits mode :P

yukimura is a delicious trap. :P
Yozora is awesome. I love the way she manipulates her friends (?). She is very smart in order to device all those plans and I really like that part of her. (she looks cute as demon, too).
I think this is the first time I have seen something resembling picasso (in anime, manga or whatnot).
Spoiler for pic:
If Yozora is a goner for having an air friend, what should we say of Sena who is befriending game characters? There's something kinda sad about this.
Yozora is a bit abusive and enjoys every opportunity she has to pick on Sena. I like that part of her as well.
nice picture of Sena. :P

To some people, home is just four walls—a place to retreat for eating, sleeping, and other mundane activities. For a special few, though, a house is a blank canvas on which to paint their personality, a stage for their creativity.
When homeowners display their obsessions on a grand scale, those homes become the stuff of dreams — and of slideshows.
The following collection of unusual homes features tributes to television shows, movies and superheroes and sports. One uncannily replicates another well-documented shingle-sided seaside home.
Read on to witness the lengths that enthusiasts will go to bring a theme home.

The Cambridge Police Department has identified an ongoing pattern of housebreaks in the Mid-Cambridge & Riverside neighborhoods.
Most of these housebreaks are occurring in the area of Broadway, Harvard Street, Franklin Street, and Massachusetts Avenue. This series has grown to over 20 incidents since October 7th, with the majority of breaks occurring in first floor apartments. In some cases, access has been gained via fire escapes and by pushing in window air conditioning units. Police suggest removing AC units that are no longer in use and/or securing them in place to prevent access.
In a high percentage of these incidents the point of entry has been through an open or unlocked rear window between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Laptops and electronics are the primary target; however jewelry, credit/debit cards, and checkbooks have also been stolen.
CPD will be deploying additional resources to affected areas to help prevent these crimes, and residents can find more detailed information about housebreaks and other issues in the October edition of BridgeStat, located at www.CambridgePolice.org/BridgeStat.
To help prevent these crimes, and to avoid becoming a victim, please remember to follow these simple tips to protect your residence and your belongings:
Monday: 8:30am-8pm

- 2 Where do I find existing layers?
- 3 How do I make use of a layer?
- 4 How do I create a new layer?

- 9 Can I overlay/append an inc file from another layer in my layer?
What is a layer?
In OpenEmbedded, a layer is just a collection of recipes and/or configuration that can be used on top of OE-Core. Typically each layer is organised around a specific theme, e.g. adding recipes for building web browser software.
Where do I find existing layers?
See LayerIndex.
How do I make use of a layer?
Clone / extract it somewhere (typically next to or within your OE-Core base directory) and then add the full path to it to the value of
BBLAYERS in your
conf/bblayers.conf in your build directory. Note that some layers depend on other layers; it is recommended that you consult the README file within the layer if one is included.
How do I create a new layer?
See Creating a new Layer.
Is there any other documentation on layers?
Yes - the Yocto Project provides a set of manuals that cover layers in some detail.
- For general information see "Understanding and Creating Layers" in the Reference Manual.
- For creating a layer for supporting a machine, see the BSP Developer's Guide.
How do I include an inc file from another layer?
You need to specify the path from the base of the other layer to where the inc file is located; e.g:
require recipes-graphics/xorg-driver/xorg-driver-input.inc
I've bbappended a recipe in my layer to replace a file with my own version but it's not being picked up - why not?
Assuming your bbappend is extending FILESEXTRAPATHS (which it must do), the probable cause is that the directory you have added to FILESEXTRAPATHS and the directory in which you have placed the file aren't the same. For example, if you have the following in your bbappend:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
then your file must be placed in a directory named ${PN} - i.e. if your recipe file is called "magicrecipe_1.0.bb then the directory would need to be named "magicrecipe". If you prefer, you can adjust the directory name added to FILESEXTRAPATHS as shown above to something else.
I've added a layer to my bblayers.conf and now the system is building an older version of some recipe - why?
The added layer likely has a higher layer priority than the one that contains the existing newer recipe. You can use PREFERRED_VERSION_recipename in your distro or local configuration to override the default selection and select the newer recipe.
Can I overlay/append an inc file from another layer in my layer?
No, you can't; inc files aren't handled in the same manner as .bb and .bbappend files. The best way to handle this is to append each recipe that includes the inc file.


text: Dairy Processors View of Second Goodlatte Amendment June 6, 2013 03:54 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: International Dairy Foods Association Foretelling potential problems of the dairy title included in the Farm Bill, the House Judiciary Committee rejected efforts yesterdfay by the House Committee on Agriculture to allow the U.S. Department of Agriculture to bypass the procedural protections afforded to businesses, under the Administrative Procedures Act, when promulgating rules to implement the Dairy Security Act. The Judiciary Committee instead inserted a proposal that would require USDA to examine the impacts of proposed dairy policy in several areas – including consumer prices, the cost of USDA nutrition programs, competitiveness within the dairy industry and the potential for dairy market growth – prior to adopting interim and final regulations. The action of the Judiciary Committee reflects growing opposition to a new program that artificially increases milk prices, which is included in the Dairy Security Act. Called the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, the proposal will limit milk supplies by periodically requiring food manufacturers to withhold payments from dairy farmers and to remit the revenues to the USDA. Because the new program will impose implementation costs of more than $100 million annually on food manufacturers, the Congressional Budget Office has labeled the program as an unfunded mandate on America's businesses. Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) has signaled his opposition to the Dairy Security Act and will offer his alternative proposal, called the Dairy Freedom Act, as a substitute when the Farm Bill is debated by the full House of Representatives later this month. Co-sponsored by Representative David Scott (D-GA), the Dairy Freedom Act offers an effective and expanded safety net for dairy farmers in the form of revenue insurance but removes the controversial policy to manipulate milk prices that is now included in the House Farm Bill. Read "Goodlatte: FARRM Act Regulations Must Be Subject to Review Process" The National Milk Producer Federation statement on the measure can be read here. Back to news

Given the context of the phrase, would you say that understanding that in the past is better than in the future? Is he talking about things that are yet to come (perhaps the second advent, etc.) or things that were to come (that is, Christ and his accomplished work)? Do you feel that the Greek limits this in anyway, keeping in mind that the aorist of this verb is not used in any form in the New Testament.
I'd really appreciate your feedback, as it pertains to a discussion that I'm having with someone on another forum.

I previously wrote about ratty belts -- threadbare belts that are almost falling apart.
But what if the belt was given to you by your sensei, or a senior that you respect? Shouldn't you wear that belt forever to honor him (or her)?
The point is not the physical belt. A physical belt is just a thing, no matter who gives it to you. What counts is the knowledge you have gained from your sensei. What matters is how you conduct yourself in daily life. That is the way you show respect to your sensei.
When Sensei Shoshin Nagamine came to Hawaii, I was lucky to be able to drive him around the island. I drove him in my Mazda MPV. When the time came, I sold that van without a second thought.
Sensei Pat Nakata is someone I respect very much. In his dojo, they do not wear belts at all! They wear a white gi bottom and a white T-shirt. I like that very much.
I will tell you something impressive. When you can snap when you are wearing a heavy weight gi, that's nothing. When you can snap wearing a short sleeve T-shirt, that's something!
Many of us will go through many black belts in our lives. There is no spirit, no skill in the belt. If there was, we could be lessened by theft of our belts. Everything we need in Karate is right inside of us.
One of my senior students occassionally wears his Judo black belt to my class. It holds his gi together very well, just as it should. The belt has no value beyond its utility.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – In search of their first win of the season, the King University baseball team jumped on No. 32 Georgia College in the first inning and extended their lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning. However, the Bobcats came back to even the score, and eventually take the game 6-5 on a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to take the series sweep.
Tom Hooker started the game with a walk for the Tornado, and was promptly bunted to second by Garrett Cook. Geoff Cieslewitz followed with a base knock to right field to score Hooker and give King (0-6) the early 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the first frame, Tornado starting pitcher Reiss Stanley sat the Bobcats (3-0) down in order with the help of a 6-4-3 double play to keep King in the lead.
The score remained 1-0 until the Tornado offense erupted in the fourth inning. Cieslewitz ripped a leadoff double to left field before Stephen Mullins sacrificed him to third. Hunter Smith then came up and rolled a single through the left side to extend King's lead to 2-0. Joe Ganger followed with a two- run home run to left field, his first career blast. He was not to be outdone as the next batter, Justin Trent, crushed a solo home run over the left center field fence, also his first career home run to give King a 5-0 lead.
The Bobcats answered in the bottom of the fourth, however, as they registered back-to-back run scoring doubles to cut their deficit to 5-2 after four innings. Georgia College threatened again in the fifth inning as they loaded the bases and Taylor Hinshaw crushed a long fly ball to center field. However, Cook ran the ball down on the warning track to get the Tornado out of the jam.
Nevertheless, Georgia College broke through again in the sixth inning as Mike McGaw lifted a two-run home run to right center to pull the Bobcats within one. Later in the inning, Clay Ardeeser ripped a single up the middle that scored Seth Bancroft to even the score at five.
The Bobcats had a chance to tally the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as they had a pair of runners on base, but Alex Martin escaped the jam, stranding both runners. King then had two runners on the eight, but couldn't push a run across, and game when to the ninth in tied at five.
The Tornado stranded a two-out single in the top of the inning before Jake Sandlin led off the bottom of the inning with a walk. He advanced to second on a Hinshaw single before King got the first out of the inning. However, McGraw was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Bancroft rolled a single through the right side to score the game-winning run, give Georgia College the 6-5 victory.
Trent went 3-for-3 to pace the Tornado offense while Cieslewitz and Gaby both went 2-for-5.
King returns to the field on Saturday when they travel to Francis Marion University. First pitch for Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Sunday's series finale is slated to start at 4:00 p.m.

A new era of EU youth policies
The Commission has adopted a new EU strategy for youth policy for the coming decade. Entitled "Youth – Investing and Empowering", the new strategy acknowledges the fact that (1) young people are one of the most vulnerable groups in society, especially in the current economic and financial crisis, and (2) in our ageing society, young people are a precious resource. The new strategy is cross-sectoral, with both short and long-term actions, which involve key policy areas that affect Europe's young people, particularly youth education, employment, creativity and entrepreneurship, social inclusion, health and sport, civic participation, and volunteering. The new strategy also emphasises the importance of youth work and defines reinforced measures for a better implementation of youth policies at the EU level.
The young generation is a dwindling resource, whose present share of 20% of the population is projected to fall to 15% by 2050. Our youth are also a precious resource, and the current economic and financial crisis especially highlights the need to nurture young human capital. While young people in the EU today enjoy greater opportunities, they also face difficult challenges, as many drop out of school and employment, or are threatened by poverty and social exclusion.
According to surveys, education, employment, social inclusion and health are issues which most of all preoccupy today's young people. Europe's youth must also be empowered to benefit from opportunities such as civic and political participation, volunteering, creativity and entrepreneurship, sport and global engagement. To confront such challenges, and open up opportunities for all young people, the Commission is proposing a renewed EU youth strategy that sets out a wide-ranging response.
The strategy "Youth – Investing and Empowering", which is a follow-up to the renewed social agenda announced by the European Commission in 2008, has the following goals:
It emphasises the important role of youth work in dealing with unemployment, school failure and social exclusion, as well as improving skills and providing leisure time.
The Commission proposes to employ a cross-sectoral approach to address all youth related issues, with the new strategy outlining different actions to be pursued by the Commission and the Member States. As such, it constitutes a part of the EU's coordinated response to the current crisis.
The strategy proposes a better, more flexible and simplified method of coordinating youth policy among the Member States, with reinforced links with the Lisbon Strategy for more growth and jobs.
Commenting on the new EU strategy for youth, the European Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, Jan Figel' said: "Youth is our present and our future – and we must make a concerted effort to open up as many avenues as possible for our young citizens, especially in the light of the current economic and financial crisis. The key is to empower our youth to deal with the many challenges they encounter in today's globalized world. Our new strategy is a timely response to these challenges, which opens the door to a new era in the development of youth policies at EU level."
The Commission's adoption of the new strategy on youth follows an extensive consultation exercise undertaken in 2008, involving national authorities, the European Youth Forum, youth organizations and other stakeholders. Young people themselves were consulted on-line and will now be invited to react to the Commission's proposals in a new phase of the permanent dialogue between the EU and its youth.
Today also sees the publication of the Commission's first "EU Youth Report", which includes detailed data and analysis compiled by EUROSTAT. These reports will now be published every three years and will contribute to providing a better knowledge base in the field of youth.

The Welshman trails O'Sullivan 16-7 in previous career meetings with his most recent win coming in the semi-finals of the 2002 Thailand Masters.
Steve Davis said on the BBC earlier this week that the standard has risen since Williams was world no.1 but I think that if he today regularly produced the form he showed back then he would be winning tournaments.
In various reviews of the decade – though not on this blog – Williams was almost the forgotten man.
True, his game faded away as the 2000s went on but, for the first half, he was brilliant.
Indeed, Williams is one of only three players, along with Davis and Stephen Hendry, to win the game's big three titles in the same season.
Today marks his first appearance in a Pokerstars.com Masters semi-final since he won the Wembley title for a second time in 2003. He hasn't been in a final of any sort since he won the China Open in 2006.
O'Sullivan has played very well indeed, although he doesn't seem to think so. He once said he would gladly pay for Williams to go on holiday so he wouldn't have to play him again.
It promises to be a very interesting match featuring two of snooker's all time greats.
Meanwhile, some more details are emerging about WPBSA chairman Barry Hearn's future plans.
The calendar for next season will be announced next month, rather than trickling out in the summer as in previous years.
The WPBSA will give support to the World Series – another major change – and, as Hearn put it, "use it as a battering ram to get into countries not yet ready for a ranking event."
There will also be a televised short form event designed to showcase the players' personalities, details of which will be in the press on Monday.
Hearn, with trademark irreverence, describes the WPBSA chairmanship as an "easy" job.
In truth, it's a lot of hard work but he has achieved the most important aspect of this: bringing together various promoters to work together.
This will mean more tournaments, more snooker on TV and a higher media profile for the game.
It needs the players to do their bit too, so let's hope for a vintage final weekend at Wembley.

Williams played great against Murphy the other night . Best he's played for years. Didn't look like missing any easy balls and got soem good long pots at the right time (last frame he won good example)
He look good value to me today , 11/4 with Boyle sports.
I think he will take beating today by ronnie , if he gets chance he will take it.
The other side is ronnie might up his game as he has shown he can do in the past.
Looking forward to good match!

Let's have another Selby-O'Sullivan final. Seems like almost every match these guys have is a classic.

That match was a classic and a brilliant advert for snooker.
Both players should be extremely proud of the way they played this afternoon.
I take my hat off to them both.

hi Dave, you didn't mention what an entertaining match the Selby/Allen one was! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great to see them interacting like that, and joking at times. That's what snooker needs. Well done to them both.

A secret is wasted if not shared
Hello Dave.
Thanks lad for showing most of my posts. I realise that there is a demarcation line I sometimes unintentionally cross. It is sad Dave that there are (as O.W. said); "Some truths that cannot be said" or words to that effect.
My further concern Dave is: Is "An incident compounded when repeated" after being warned or being made aware of?
The big punch line after a tournament is the usual moan "What am I doing wrong"? Never the question "What was I doing right yesterday".
Analysing your game should not be one sided. It is so easy to rant "What am I doing wrong", but it takes great courage to ask questions when playing great, with "A what am I doing right" as it may put you off the boil.
Snooker of the future will be all technique or branches of technique totalling 100%. The top players will be the best students whether male or female. Mr hey you

I agree Selby v Allen was an entertaining match played in a great spirit.
Sporting end to the Ronnie v Williams match as well.
- 7:19 pm
It looks like Hearn is trying to dictate the images of his new serfs; labelling RoS as miserable takes the spotlight away from the actual brilliant play. Hearn just craves the limelight and he'll be no better for the game than Walker was.
- 7:39 pm
- Dave H said...
No. His flippant joke about O'Sullivan stole the headlines but the other 40 minutes was much more interesting.
Walker and co would not recognise - let alone work with - other promoters.
Hearn will and that's why there will be more tournaments.
- 7:43 pm
Quoting Hearn: "I had a chat with the young man and outlined what I want and he seems to have disregarded it, so I shall have another chat with the young man."
"I'm sure we will educate him."
You call that a flippant joke? What's your favourite comedy? Goodfellas?
- 8:00 pm
- Dave H said...
You obviously don't know Barry
- 8:01 pm
Anyone not read the story its here, i agree with you Dave, its just Barry having a joke...
- 8:33 pm
I haven't read anywhere about Hearn's comments being a 'flippant joke'. Can you point us to an article for a different take on what he said. Everywhere I look there is no mention of his comments being in jest.
From the BBC:
"Earlier this week O'Sullivan was labelled "miserable" at the table by new World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn, but he revealed his demeanour was down to a lack of confidence."
- 9:55 pm
- Dave H said...
You have to understand what sort of character Hearn is: brash, charismatic but also absolutely direct - a bit like O'Sullivan himself.
This is what he said yesterday: "For a young bloke with everything, he's a miserable bastard. When you win a match, look happy. I've watched him and, like everyone else, I think he's played tremendously. I'll be talking to him about it.
"Ronnie is hugely important to snooker and a good lad. He gives the press more to write about than anyone and I need him to be my flag-bearer."
He said it knowing it would make the papers and create a bit of a fuss.
Job done.
- 10:13 pm
these blogs are posted on the Ronnie website.
Its no wonder his fans are here defending him against Hearns comments that any normal person would understand werent bad.
- 10:33 pm
It was quite obviously a tongue-in-cheek comment from Hearn, so why are people getting in such a lather about it? Barry knows what he is doing and he's hardly likely going to pick a fight with the game's most popular after five minutes in the chair.
I thought Ronnie supporters would be more interested in why their hero hardly ever acknowledges his fans after he's won (or lost) a match. Like against Williams, he walked off deep in conversation with the Welshman and never gave the crowd a second look despite the fact they packed the place out to see him. Totally arrogant attitude if you asked me. Look at Selby, he saluted the crowd and signed autographs afterwards – that's more like it.
- 12:59 am
I know what you're saying Dave, it wasn't meant to be offensive and was quite flippant, but bearing in mind Ronnie suffers from depression don't you think it was maybe a bit of a silly / insensitive thing to say?
- 12:03 pm
i thought he was too sensitive, certainly not insensitive.
when you consider what Ronnie said to someones daughter at a press conference you have to stop and think why would anyone defend him against someone making a light hearted comment and accusing them of being insensitive. unreal
- 2:45 pm
- jamie brannon said...
I know Barry Hearn was not being malicious, but considering depression is an illness perhaps he could have thought more wisely. Also I like Ronnie as he is I don't see why he wants everyone to be smiling all the time. I find Selby's antics cringeworthy, his comedy is My Family standard! Where as Ronnie's interview on tuesday was as funny as an episode of The Office.

Review: Calgary Stampede (Commemorative) 25 Year Old Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 28, 2012
Just over a week ago, I introduced the Calgary Stampede Commemorative 25 Year Old Whisky here on my website. The whisky is a single bond offering produced entirely from corn distillate and aged for 25 years in charred American white oak. It is blended entirely with naturally sourced Rocky Mountain spring water, and has a limited production of only 6000 bottles. In order to maintain good contact with the oak during the lengthy aging process, this bond was re-gauged or re-barreled twice during its aging life. New barrels were not introduced when Highwood distiller's made the liquid consolidation. Instead they chose to maintain the aging process in the original barrels in which the spirit began its maturation.
I was given a sample bottle to review by the folks at Highwood Distillers who produced the whisky and I am sharing my review of this whisky here on my website.
Here is an excerpt:
"… As you let the glass breathe, the flavours (and the aroma) become deeper and richer. There are some almond flavours that over time develop towards marzipan, and there is some orange peel that begins to taste like marmalade as the glass sits and the flavours meld. Some pungent baking spices (cinnamon, vanilla and ginger) and flavours of melted vanilla ice-cream appear as if by magic… "
You may read the full review here:
Review: Calgary Stampede (Commemorative) 25 Year Old Whisky
Please enjoy the review!
(Because a 25 Year Old Canadian Whisky is special, my friend Davin de Kergommeaux of Canadian Whisky and I agreed to review this spirit on the same day. As part of my review I have provided a link to Davin's opinion as well)
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

As we've detailed, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on the PlayStation 3 is causing quite a few problems for people all over the world. Earlier today, Treyarch released patch version 1.03 for the PS3 which is supposed to alleviate some of the problems. - PSLS
Mine was fine before the patch. Maybe I should pass on applying the patch
it's working fine for me afte rpatch but I read many not. The render button now shows up though
lmfao wow, my brain cells are dying from reading such comments.
This is simply the game's fault,not the PS3 you morons.
LA Noire, Just Cause 2, Prototype 2, Saints Row the Third
Just a few open world games I can think off the top of my head that are superior on PS3 or on par to their 360 counterparts.
What is it with you people always bringing up that stupid PS3 can't handle open world games argument?
Infamous series? The 256 online multiplayer MAG? Where's the 360's equivalent? Exactly.
So it couldn't do cross game chat. Big freaggin' whoop. The console wasn't designed for THAT feature but saying the PS3 was only designed for linear cut scene filled games is moronic. If they weren't so graphically intensive then why can the PS3 do it better? If the 360 was such a better machine it would have had the best looking linear games along with the best looking open world games right? Riiight...?
When Grand Theft Auto V comes out and is absolutely great on PS3, maybe even the better version, this stupid argument will finally be put to rest. I don't see why it hasn't already considering there are already quite a few open world games that are better on the PS3.
Yes, the developers ARE to blame. It's not just when the 360 also gets bad ports such as FFXIII. Just look at the complaints about multiplats on the Wii U. No way in hell can it be the hardware ESPECIALLY when there is 2 GIGS of RAM.
The PS3 can do multiplats just fine if not better. We have already seen many many games that are either identical or slightly better on the PS3 from Burnout Paradise to Battlefield 3. These are some damn good looking games too. Inifnity Ward can port their CoD games just fine over to the PS3 (Quick edit - what's LEFT of Infinity Ward can do better jobs than Treyarch FFS...). Treyarch are obviously the ones at fault here. All they ever did for the longest time was take IW's work and make their own variations. I doubt they can build their own graphics engine if their lives depened on it.
The PS3 is very capable so that BS you're bringing up needs to be dropped.
@ decrypt, If Sony made the PS3 to run linear games, why does the PS3 have Infamous 1 & 2, Grand theft Auto 4, Saints Row 2 & 3 and the many other open world/Sand Box titles.
Also, if Multi-plats don't work, why do Developers make games for the PS3 and not just for the 360 & PC? Its not like Sony holds a gun to their heads or throw money around.
Sony owners blame the Developers, because it's their voice and right to do so, if something is wrong with the game they are playing, same as 360 and PC owners. Also, why do the problems get fixed after a set amount of time. Again after a SET amount of time?
The question really is why is it always the same developers that have problems working on the PS3.
We don't have cross game chat on the PS3 because of the divided ram.
Even though I love my ps3.. @decrypt is right. The xboxs ram is more flexible and results in better performance in open world games. The architecture also is closer to pc so it's easier to work with. Plain and simple, that's why I prefer playing Bethesdas and Rock stars games on the 360. They perform better.. They often look better. You can't deny that. Compare red dead redemption on the 360 to the ps3 version.. I have both and the ps3 version just doesn't look as good at all..There is ONE open world game that seems better on ps3..thats just cause 2...But there's not much going on in the game world, a lot of repeat textures etc. Maybe because it was lead platform.. Idk
decrypt is faaaaaar from right. As can be seen in the responses and examples given.
no they wont. name one xbox exclusive thats on par or beats uncharted 3 in the graphics department?
mine still is shutting off my fat 60 gig ps3, all other games are still working perfect.... :(
Great Post!
I've been saying this for years. What happens for the PS3 owners that aren't online? The new game to need a patch & a massive mandatory install will be GTA 5. We will have the exact same comments posted & many denials.
It will be impossible for GTA 5 to be the better version & without a patch upon release if it's as large as Rockstar says it is.
Unless, there's some unknown impossible way Rockstar can mysteriously add some unified RAM to that GTA5 blu-ray disk that's never been done before!
Youre making the mistake that so many others have made before you.......talking about whats possible on ps3 and not really looking at how things are right now. We are almost at the end of this generation and you wanna talk about what the ps3 is capable of???
@otherZinc / andibandit
What the hell are you two on about? I've already given examples of what IS currently possible on the PS3. I named which open world games are on par or even superior on the PS3. I forgot to add Assassin's Creed 3 by the way. The most ambitious AC game to date and looking as good on PS3 compared to the 360 counterpart.
otherZinc, you make it sound like GTA 5 isn't possible on the PS3 at all. Why is Rockstar demoing the PS3 version first then? If anything, they learned a few things from Team Bondi seeing as they managed to get the RAGE powered ganme LA Noire to look and run better on the PS3. They've already shown to be capable of achieving platform parity when Max Payne 3 released. Before they couldn't even get their Midnight Club games to run at the same resolutions!
Remember how each GTA on the PS2 improved graphically with each iteration? Even with the tiny amount of RAM available they managed to get their largest GTA game for that time - San Andreas - to run without a SINGLE loading screen between cities.
I AM talking about what's here now. I'm simply using these current examples to show what IS capable and what CAN be capable.
apart from graphics. i think a lot of people are forgetting about sound too. almost 70-80% of the games on PS3 are running off uncompressed audio LPCM5.1/7.1 where 360 is still using DD5.1 which is compressed audio. It definitely take more processing power to playback audio in a higher fidelity. This is something no one needs to argue about(same thing would apply to PC as well). I done so many test with both PS3 and 360 on their audio department (and yes of course I own both so the test are always fair since they are connected on the same audio system all with extremely good cabling setup) . All the time PS3 audio quality just rape the 360 version. Bear in mind I dont do the judgement all by myself. I have other listeners who some are audiophiles to listen in and comment at times too. And PS3 in most scenario never fail to win. Even when both are playing back games in DD5.1 (where the game dont come with LCPM audio) PS3 will still sound better.
Audio these days are just almost as important as Visual. Great audio would no doubt provide an even more immersive game play experience. Even Wii-U comes with 5.1 LPCM now just shows how important sound is part of the overall package rather than just visual.
And pass on playing online too? These updates are atrocious.
I've been playing with bots. Mainly because they don't have headsets.
I've been playing zombies as well. I just wish I could find a decent group to play with.
You can't "pass" if you want to keep playing online.
Anyway since the patch I've had no problems.
Skyrim actually runs good now, they have patched it. How's paying for ads going? See how that works, it leads nowhere.
Most 360 games work on day 1. How those patches going?
All PS3 Gamers don't have to pay an annual online fee, how's that working out for you? ;)
Unless your gonna use a legitimate argument against the PS3 then do reply, otherwise, do shut up. :3
Tell us more about the alternate reality you come from. This is fascinating.
Good, only took them a year. I'd rather pay for ads and be able to play my games the day they come out instead of a year later. And by the way, Sony has patented a way to have advertisements interrupt your actual games, which is 10000 times worse than on the dashboard which nobody ever even looks at. They'll never go through with it, but you can bet your ass that next gen there will be plenty of ads on the next PlayStation.
I see BY FAR more ads in NHL 13 (a single game) every time I play a drop in game right after the lobby launches into the game then I do on the MS dashboard.
I launch the game right away from dash, I see ZERO ads. I play 6-8 games in NHL 13 and I see 6-8 ads.
I am tired of seeing McDonalds adds, Red Dawn adds and The Watch ads.
People who think that there are so many ads on the 360 dashboard either don't have a 360, don't have a 360 hooked up to the internet or don't play enough games to see that there are more ads in games alone then there is on the 360 dash.
I will take a working game day 1 over an add on the dashboard that I never see. Any day. Who wouldn't?
All I want, is the ability to party up without error.
Then you probably don't want to be on PSN at all.
Wow, this situation really sucks for COD fans /hidessmile
Been running fine for me since the patch, have no lag anymore.
Hopefully it stays that way.
Been running fine for me as well. Few freezing issues here and there though but nothing too annoying. All I want them to do is remove that atrocious blur filter. I am not updating at all until that happens or the game is gone.
i like failbots trying to attack PS3
no games to play cause problems.
the graphics actually look a lil bit cleaner after this patch. its not as blurry anymore. does anyone notice?
Ye I noticed that too after the patch. There is no blur for me either.
Lag has also decreased quite a bit (I wont say it is gone cause I am pretty sure it hasn't)
Hit detection still needs to be fixed a bit.
I also noticed that the Menu is smoother and doesn't freeze at some points for a few seconds like it used too (for me)
I understand a big number of people are still having problems but I am just speaking on my experience a the moment.
I really hope they fix everything for everyone because I want the whole community to enjoy the game equally cause lets be serious now, the game is awesome.
Wow, there are a lot of xbox fanboys in these comments. I'll keep this short.
I do NOT want an xbox 360, nor will I ever purchase one.
That being said, the patch is working well for me so I'm happy!
Sony hyped up the ps3 to be this super machine but we know the hardware is average at best. European ps3 fanboys know this they just refuse to cave in because it would make the American Xbox look better. We know those Europeans hate Americans, but we'll see how much they hate Microsoft when Sony goes bankrupt and they're forced to buy an Xbox console.
I'm not trolling
you're talking like xbox hardware is the king. How many cases of RROD people got? How many xbox owners have 2+ systems?
Oh yea the xbox hardware is just fine >.>
You're right, Europeans do hate Americans. And you are a shining example of why that is.
This is why I hate Americans....
Hell, I'm American and I hate Americans. Not all, mind you, just the retards that use this "logic". It seems all to common to put people down or call them fanboys simply because they don't agree with you.
Seriously, calling them European Sony fanboys was only something a 13yr old would think was logical.
And FYI, any superiority the 360 may have is lost by having to listen to children like momthemeatloaf online.
Xbox360's hardware is vastly inferior to the average hardware the PS3 has. If Uncharted, God of War, or soon to be Last of Us are anything to go by there is yet to be a single game on the Xbox 360 that can match any of these games, but sadly due to the limitations the Xbox360 has to the PS3 that will never happen, ever. The only platforms out now that can do better than the PS3 is PC and Wii U. But yeah, one thing you got right though, Europeans hate Americans, no, in fact every other nation in the world hates Americans.
They're evenly matched at the end of the day honestly. 360 does 2x as many polygons AND has 8MB of Extra fast GPU RAM for transfer that PS3 doesn't have that helps graphics a lot. But otherwise PS3 is basically an equal of 360 hardware. Don't joke yourself. While those 2 features really are nice for developers, they also don't make or break it in any way, they only enhance the system in certain areas like texture loading and polygon count. Othrwise, they're nearly the same when optimized right.
nah im european well english and i like the americans. They are so wrapped up in their own ignorance its quite funny. i hate to tar everyone with the same brush as i have a lot of american friends who are good decent honest people but their knowledge of what goes on outside us is limited . nothing wrong with that because how many of us europeans actually know very much about the real usa and not just that that is portrayed in world media. But saying that there is some loud vocal who talk about things they dont really have a clue about. they have a superiority complex and thats enough to get a lot of nations to hate .
So the average hardware has better quality, sells faster, and produces better visuals when utilized properly. What does that say about MS's hardware?
This patch did nothing for me...
Still can't connect to a single online game.
Are you getting NAT Type 2 on PS3 & Open NAT in BO2 ?
If you're not getting Open NAT in BO2 then you'll have problems connecting to games.
Either you should forward ports or enable uPnp. DMZ mode will also help. Use google for more details. :)
Yeah, always was an Open NAT.
Thought it was because I got the game early, but saw alot of people had the problem.
Haven't even one online match yet...
EDIT: Removed conduplicatio...
3 greedy bastard companies all in bed with M$
Thank god they didn't ruin the hit detection like the patch did to Black Ops 1. Still working fine for me after the patch!
Downloaded the patch & its frozen twice since then.
Absolutely pathetic. The last 2 games Ive bought (AC3 & BO2) have been an absolute disgrace. Over it, couldnt even have a game with my nephew when he dropped by.
Fuck this gen, Im done with it.
Its just frozen again on me, 3rd time today!
Please read this. :)
End of the day its more than obivious now who activision favour. People should have woken up to this on console a long time ago and delivered them a massive hit to there finaces this year.
Imagine there faces if the PS3 owners just didn't buy there game. Also think there would have been room on the market for The last of us. Half of the revenue they puled in this year would have been gone.
In stead of having to play this second rate shite into the new year. Me personally on my ps3 i got myself other alternatives Assassins creed being one of them. On my xbox Halo 4 for me a far better game than cod bo2 and for this year should be the GOTY. For my pc im still play BF3 and dayz and tekkit. No need for nothing else yet.
Next year the real games get launched. GTA5 and the games for PS3. Im sick of seeing the christmas market being comsumed with the cod franchise. Sooner people see there being taken for a ride the better. Only viable place to play codBO2 is on the PC.
Xbox still suffering for peer to peer hosting don't matter if it looks nice. Playing with crap p2p connections where at anytime you can be playing 2-3 seconds behind another player even on my 100mb netz aint worth the money.
Does anyone remember the days when a company would release a console and not update/replace/slim down it for the entire generation?
... the days when the person buying a console 5 years after launch would be getting the same console that was released at launch?
Me neither/
I've gamed since the 80's and outside the N64, Gamecube, CD-i, Xbox, Wii, and 3DO every other console at least had some sort of make over - I don't include hand helds because that's a different market. Even Neo Geo had some sort of remake towards the end of its life. I can't speak for others like Intellivision or Odyssey because I was still a thought when those first entered the market.
This is one major reason why I hate this gen - release broken games, patch, release a second patch, DLC, another patch, more DLC, patch, maybe another patch, DLC, DLC, oh time for another game. It's the same pattern and lately I've been redboxing/borrowing games instead of day 1 purchase because I'm sick of broken released games or games that's 75% done with pre-planned dlc to "extend" the life of a 12 hour story.
Guys Guys-Do Not buy broken games,have nothing against Cod,I rarely play shooters.they will continue to sell you broken games bacause you continue to buy them.I miss those days when every game was finished 100%.You just making fool out of your self.Learn to not buy things on impulse or you will get screwed over and over again.I have ps+ have so many games dont even have time,I buy day 1 only games that are not broken,mostly exclusives.just beat ACIII,good game.
I've been saying that since 2009; stop buying half finished garbage, and stop thinking just because it's your favorite series you "have" to buy it; some games I wait to buy just to see some GotY edition, or at least patches that will help fix some parts of the game. Sleeping Dogs was the last game I'll buy at midnight release because of the headache I went through with some of the glitches I've ran into - and before people start dogging me on SD yes I did complete the story mode and yes I did the majority of side missions, and yes I remember when it was originally True Crime Hong Kong by Activision.
And this is why i don't buy cod anymore.
There is another patch available called Buy-A-Xbox360. It fixes all of these issues.
The downside is you end up with an Xbox 360 though :/
It's not worth it.

all about zombies here not that much on multi but seems fair mw3 _---- i dont think its good too much ragequitting
Ahahahaha i made "no" be over "yes" by 1 >:-D
On a tree aside my closest river n.n
I guess with the content of Jormungand sounds more interesting but... it's just a possibility...
Juego a vivir, vivo jugando.
Not paying for a yearly release that will be utter crap... again. I'd rather wait four years for a masterpiece. This isn't because I hate CoD, I loved MW2 but since then its been more of the same. In other words it's like Pokémon; you enjoy it the first time but after that it's the same game again and again and again which is alright if you love the formula (I personally don't).
I <3 to hate Activision ;)
Already have it. For a few reasons though. By no means do I think it'll be amazing. However, if the online gameplay is as bad as MW3 is now with lag/lag comp/and shitty updates, then best believe it's going on for store credit.
Just came back... The nostalgia!
Nope not happening.
I stopped playing MW awhile ago since all of them felt the same and got sick of it. I did enjoy Black Ops and after looking at miles videos and overview about it there are plenty of interesting changes. I might when I feel like playing a new fps out of curiosity.
The last CoD game I played and enjoyed was the first one. Now I'm pretty much boycotting Activision so no.
Funimation hates PS4
I'm actually neutral on this one. While Mw2 was a really good game, I prefer Black Ops over since it brought much-needed innovation and not mention the customization that far exceeded my expectations. Zombie mode was off the charts, can't wait to the Black Ops 2 zombies in november. on the bad note, Mw3 left a really bad taste since it was basically a re-hash of Mw2 except new (updated perks), or the changed look on the guns. So if Black Ops 2 doesn't have that 'oomph' that Cod 4 and Mw2 had, that's it for me on the call of duty train.
Twitter: @Miggzz_
I just want to get MW2 over anything else. I personally suck at shooting games except for some games, namely, Borderlands, Time Crisis 4 and that's it. I get pretty lost in any shooting games.
I really want to play shooters but my skills at gaming sucks ass.
On the subject of Black Ops 2, I've been contemplating to buy it because it's going to be expensive as and I don't like much of CoD franchise either. It's getting old.
I want to be a mango forever.
Yea im probably gonna buy it... My bro told me u can get snipers on there which have like iron sights ( sounds pretty good O.o) so im looking forward to that... Plus ive kinda got bored of MW3 need a change every now and then. Looking forward to more zombies :]
I only got Modern Warfare 3 on my Xbox 360 cause my cousin convince me to get it so I can play with him. I like it but I personally hate the Call Of Duty series as a whole since it's the same crap every year (I only like the Modern Warfare series cause of the story), the only difference being there is a new story and setting and if the developers decide to add a zombie mode.
I personally believe Black Ops 2 going to suck,
maybe i bought 3 new game i want to finished them before buying bo2
Hells yeah.

It's very troubling the way mothers are often treated in our otherwise very family-friendly town. Normally, we don't have the time (because we are busy being good mothers) or are too shocked to address the fact that a total stranger is glaring our way or has approached us to scold us for any of a range of offenses including: not having a hat or socks on our baby, letting our energetic or upset child get out of arm's reach, not controlling our child from grabbing a piece of fruit at a fruit stand when you are busy with a sibling, or refusing to placate a child having a tantrum. I typically avoid conflict with such people when I have encountered them, but last week a woman I will call Jane Donogood went too far.
My 4 1/2-half-year-old daughter and I went to Paseo Nuevo to buy a birthday gift. While in the midst of strong parenting at Baby Gap (not giving in to my daughter wanting me to buy her two things) a tantrum ensued. (For the record, it was early in the morning, this was our first store, and she was not hungry or tired.) Some parents would give in – anything to prevent a tantrum in public. I calmly suggested we go outside, and when it was clear we would not be able to work things out I calmly said, "Let's go," and started walking.

When Windows announced their new operating system, that is Windows 8, everyone on the social media was buzzing about it. Meanwhile, a bunch of developers at Canonical pulled an all-nighter fixing show-stopping bugs in the upcoming version of Ubuntu.
Linux users don't expect their distro releases to be received with as much pomp as Windows or Mac OS. However, with Unity and the amount of improvements it has gone through, there's a certain sense of excitement amongst Ubuntuers. Furthermore, even though Ubuntu 11.10 isn't a LTS release, it is a critical release for the folks at Canonical. Oneiric Ocelot is Ubuntu's golden chance to covert users back to the contentious Unity interface.
For Microsoft, the stakes seem to be high this time. Unlike then when it enjoyed a complete monopoly over the tech industry, Microsoft's billion-dollar enterprise has taken huge visible hits thanks to the growing dominance of Apple and Android. Linux, which Microsoft once thought was over and done with, has proven itself to be a palpable threat to Microsoft's server and mobile departments. Though Windows 8 and Ubuntu 11.10 differ hugely from each other, both in ideology and in design, they bring in a lot of similar features taking the competition up a notch.
Here's a quick comparison between the similarities in Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 8:
Brand new interface
Both Ubuntu and Windows 8 will sport a brand new interface. While Windows 8 will be using the tile-based Metro UI, Ubuntu will be using the tried, tested, criticized and condemned Unity interface. The tiled Metro UI is a huge step forward for Microsoft as it makes it easier for them to adapt Windows on smaller form factors. Microsoft, decimated by the rapid growth of mobiles and tablets, has finally admitted that the standard desktop is breathing its last. Canonical on the other hand, saw this coming way before Microsoft. I won't be naïve as to accuse Microsoft of blatantly 'copying' this approach, but considering what they've been doing in the past, I won't be surprised even if they actually did that. Unity, as the name suggests, will make Ubuntu easy to adapt and use on devices other than desktops and laptops. Thus, users will get the same experience across all of their devices. Apple too is slowly taking this approach by adding certain iOS-like features on their desktop operating system.
Desktop as you know it is dead
With Windows 8, Microsoft will do away with the traditional desktop. Of course, not entirely, but we'll certainly see more and more people using the new interface. This will ensure that users can switch seamlessly between their different devices. Now, it may be too early to predict these things, but my opinion is that once Windows 8 is released, and if it gets successful, we may actually see a growth in Ubuntu's market share. Windows 8's Metro UI will do what Canonical and GNOME 3 are trying to do, that is, move people away from the dogmatic desktop UI. This will liberate many users from the conformity and push them to try out new and different things. Unity can cash in on this opportunity by further polishing their Unity UI so as to make it more appealing to new users.
Social from the start
Ubuntu, for a long time, has included essential social media features in its default desktop. Microsoft on the other hand, was lagging behind in this department. With Windows 8 though, things are about to change as the new Metro UI includes social media capabilities built-in. To be honest, up until now, the social media experience Gwibber 2.0 provided wasn't at par with the apps that are out there on Windows and Apple. With Gwibber 3, Oneiric users can proudly boast about how social-savvy their new desktop is.
More cloud integration
Windows 8 and Ubuntu 11.10 will both be tightly integrated with the cloud. Windows 8 will be able to pull photos from the cloud, share and upload them instantly. Ubuntu 11.10 on the other hand will feature Ubuntu One online backup service with 5 GB cloud storage leaving behind Microsoft in the cloud wars.
Updated Default browsers
Windows 8 will ship with Internet Explorer 10 while Oneiric will include the improved Firefox 7.
App Stores
The Software Center has been part of Ubuntu for quite a while, but it wasn't as appealing as many new users would expect it to be. With 11.10, that is about to change because a completely revamped app store will be a part of the desktop. On Windows 8, there will be a Windows store, allowing users to download and purchase new applications for their desktop.
New login screens
Both Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 8 will include a new and improved login screen. They both are beautiful, but I still prefer the clean new LightDM login screen.
Microsoft's opening up? Think again
The new Metro UI will use the innovative HTML5 technology. Now, a Windows fanboy when he hears of this will definitely be tricked into thinking that Microsoft is making significant efforts to promote open technologies. However, the truth is that Microsoft is still the conniving old wolf that will leave no stone unturned in crushing anyone who comes in their way. According to a recent Slashdot article, Windows will be using a 'next-generation' booting specification called Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). Thanks to UEFI, users won't be able to use GPL bootloaders on their Windows 8 computers, making it almost impossible for Linux enthusiasts (and new users) to install Linux distributions on their computers. If this feature is implemented, it will be a huge blow to Linux and its growing dominance over the PC market. Well played Microsoft, well played indeed.

RetroSense Therapeutics announces license agreement with Wayne State University for breakthrough approaches to vision restoration
DETROIT — RetroSense Therapeutics, LLC, a Michigan-based company, announced that it has executed its exclusive, worldwide option and signed a license agreement for novel gene-therapy approaches for treating blindness developed at Wayne State University's School of Medicine.
Zhuo-Hua Pan, Ph.D., professor of anatomy and cell biology in the School of Medicine, along with colleagues at Salus University in Pennsylvania, developed the breakthrough therapy and follow-on approaches that offer promise to people suffering with incurable blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) – retinal degenerative disorders that are currently incurable.
AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people older than 60, affecting more than 8 million people in the U.S. alone. Worldwide, 500,000 individuals lose their eyesight annually to AMD, which is the result of progressive deterioration of photoreceptor cells in the macula, the central portion of the retina.
RP is a genetically-determined eye disease caused by mutations in more than 100 different genes. An estimated 100,000 people in the U.S. have RP, which typically manifests as night blindness and progresses to tunnel vision and sometimes complete blindness.
Pan's novel strategy focused on genetically converting light-insensitive inner retinal neurons into photosensitive cells — thus restoring light-sensitivity to retinas that lack photoreceptors. Using a virus that delivers a photoreceptor gene from green algae called channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), Pan found that ChR2 made the inner retinal neurons become light sensitive, and that it persisted for long periods in the neurons, ultimately leading to restored responses to light in the visual cortex of the brain.
With this technology, combined with the business and drug development expertise of RetroSense's seasoned management team, Pan is hopeful his breakthrough treatment is on the fast track to restoring a vital part of the human experience to people suffering from retinal degeneration worldwide.
"Our research has demonstrated the feasibility of restoring visual responses after the loss of light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in animal models," said Pan. "The ChR2-based gene therapy is a promising strategy for treatment of blindness caused by the death of photoreceptor cells in humans."
"We are delighted to enhance our position in this space by licensing these novel approaches to vision restoration," said Sean Ainsworth, founder and CEO of RetroSense. "Channelrhodopsin-based approaches to vision restoration are garnering a great deal of attention from academia and industry right now. It's a very hot field and we are quite pleased to be aligned with Dr. Pan and his colleagues who pioneered the approach."
Ainsworth licensed the technology from Wayne State University in an effort to eventually test the technology in humans. While there are several years of research and testing needed before anything can be brought to the market, Phase I clinical trials could begin in early 2013.
"This license agreement with RetroSense is an exciting example of how critical research is to making discoveries, then getting those discoveries to the market," said Hilary Ratner, vice president for research at Wayne State University. "Life-changing developments often happen because of university research, and relationships with companies such as RetroSense are critical components of taking a faculty member's ideas and inventions to the next level for creating commercially viable products and processes. We are pleased to welcome RetroSense to the Wayne State University community."

Hillshire Farm Entree Salad Interesting, but Confusing
Hillshire Farm makes an interesting but confusing entrée salad that should be marketed as a kit or starter.
"If there's any menu category that has evolved and matured to suit America's expanding tastes, it's this one (salad)" — so wrote Restaurant Hospitality magazine in 2005.
Salads generally were made of greens and occasionally tomatoes and relegated to the status of "side dish" until the 1920s and 1930s. In the late 1930s, the Cobb Salad was invented at the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood, basically out of hunger (of the owner) and what was available quickly in the refrigerator. The idea quickly spread and from there the idea of the "entrée salad" was born.
Lunch is prime salad eating time. But who has the time to wash and trim a head of lettuce? Shred cheese? Cook and crumble some bacon? And, to truly make it an entrée, a meal-in-one instead of a side salad, you need to cook and dice some sort of protein to go along with the greens.
How does a food processor meet consumers' demands for freshness, quality, premiumness and variety with a pre-made salad? Sara Lee's Hillshire Farm brand answers with a kit with all the complex ingredients … except the most important one, the lettuce. For this review, we chose the chicken and bacon club salad.
Understanding the marketplace
The market size for pre-cut, bagged salad/salad dressing/salad topping is $4.2 billion, according to 2002 Mintel Intl. figures, with a growth rate of 9 percent per year. The big players are Dole, Fresh Express and Ready Pac, along with private label.
The spoilage rate of produce is high, yet these perishables account for 50 percent of supermarket sales. Freshness through packaging has driven the success of bagged salads. However, there is a limit that consumers are willing to pay for the increased freshness and convenience from the packaging. Nevertheless, when asked about the types of food being discarded because of spoilage, consumers cited fresh vegetables and bagged salads first (each with a 58 percent response rate).
Hillshire Farm, a Sara Lee brand, saw the opportunity to take its well recognized and regarded name in meats and knowledge of deli perishablity and food safety to help consumers get the convenience and heartiness they want in salads.
The key is to provide options for people who will appreciate the benefits of precut, prepackaged, proportioned and calorie-counted salad ingredients (chopped chicken, bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, croutons, and dressing) but who don't want to do fast-food salads and won't make them from scratch.
Hillshire Farm Entrée Salads have been created for both women and men who need a meal during the middle of the day that requires little preparation. These individuals have somewhat higher budgets for lunch and are willing to spend them on convenience but will not trade-off for poor quality.
According to our Crave It! and Healthy You! insights, color and taste are important in salad, but so are texture and consistency. And for most salad eaters, the more textures and flavors the better. The mild creaminess of cheese juxtaposed with the sweet and spicy crunchiness of croutons or onions are examples of what can make a salad craveable. Having a choice of the components makes the entrée salad even better since a little of you and your choices are incorporated.
The key trends in the entrée salad area are convenience, flavor and healthfulness.
Convenience: For entrée salads, both fast food operators and packaged food manufacturers are responding to consumers' fast-paced lifestyles by merging the product and the package to make the eating experience more convenient. Grab-and-go foods that allow the consumer some customization and some impact on the meal preparation help them feel better about their choice. The Hillshire package is designed for both mixing the salad and eating it. You do have to remember to have the salad greens available to mix in, however!
Flavors: Entrée salads are about the type of salad (Chef, Cobb, Asian), the toppings (meat, cheese, crunchies -- croutons, seeds, nuts, crispy noodles), the dressing (typically light these days) and other flavors, such as bacon. While the type of lettuce also is important, it comes in fairly far behind the toppings as far as enhancing craveability.
Healthfulness: Salads were a classic diet food even before the current focus on obesity. They also satisfy current recommendations for more vegetables. However, many of the most craved salad components (meat, bacon, cheese, croutons, dressing) may work against the healthy halo.
One way to get more nutrition, or at least a better perception of it, is to use different kinds of greens. For better or worse, this Hillshire Farm kit does not include the greens, so the consumer can choose any type of lettuce or even spinach, kale or cabbage. The portioning of the ingredients allows for portion control, and the nutrition facts allow a person to approximately control how many calories they want in their entrée salad.
The experience
Hillshire Farm Entrée Salads are available in 5.25-oz., clear, shrink-wrapped plastic bowls for about $3.19-3.50. We evaluated the Chicken & Bacon Club variety. Other flavors in the line are Chicken Caesar, Turkey & Ham Chef and Turkey and Cranberries.
The package has a nice picture of the final salad on a plate -- which can be confusing since right above the picture is a large burst that says "just add lettuce." To the right of the salad picture is a list of the components provided: oven-roasted chicken breast, bacon crumbles, cheddar cheese, garlic and butter croutons and light ranch dressing. It also says there are one to two servings when the lettuce is added.
When you open the lid, you see a lot of small packages. Each of the components has its own plastic or foil pouch. There were plenty of moist chunks of chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, real bacon crumbles, garlic and butter croutons and 1.5 oz of light ranch dressing.

Research through clinical trials is a scientific and systematic way to look at the outcomes of a particular drug, device or other process to see how well it works, including how safe it is. There's risk in clinical trial treatment as there is in standard therapy. It's important to know that the investigators designing and conducting the research, the institutions where the research may be conducted, the sponsors of the research and the federal government are all interested in minimizing the risks to participants involved in a clinical trial.
Participating in research is a voluntary process, and you need to decide if the risk is acceptable to you or not. Be sure you understand the research and ask as many questions as you can to make an informed choice. Discuss your options with your doctor. Talk over what you have learned with your family, friends and other healthcare providers. Learn as much as you can before you decide to participate.
View current clinical trials
These federal agencies have the primary responsibility of helping to ensure the rights and welfare of human subjects participating in the clinical research. All are under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
The OHRP ensures the rights and welfare of human subjects and establishes standards for the organizations' review of research through the Institutional Review Board (IRB) process. The OHRP provides guidance and training to help IRBs. Sponsors of trials and physicians must meet the Federal requirements.
The FDA regulates research in the products it oversees. In clinical trials, these products are usually a new drug or new medical device. The FDA requires evidence of drug and product safety in the form of an application process and has rules about reporting of safety issues during clinical trials.
The Office of Good Clinical Practice is part of the FDA. Its mission is to establish consistency in policy. This office is charged with ensuring FDA's protective role in clinical research, from the design of a trial through how the trial is conducted and overseen.
In addition to our research nurses, our Director of Research Compliance at Cape Cod Healthcare is also able to assist you and can be reached at 508-862-5812.
Federal regulations dictate that a group called an Institutional Review Board (IRB) must approve and oversee the research being conducted. The IRB at Cape Cod Healthcare is comprised of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and community members. The community members are critical to an IRB to review the research from the point of view of the patient. The IRB plays a critical role in safeguarding subjects' rights and welfare during the recruitment process, informed consent process, and the conduct of the trial.

Joey and Terrance are TNRED but there still a lot of intact Cats in the neighborhood.
One litter at a time I guess
