Unskippable: Two Worlds

"I'm just going to fall off of this horse."
Great video.
Loved it as every other of the Unskippable-videos =D
But it's a shame he did'nt comment on how nothing of the weed actually disappeared even though he was cutting as if it was between life or death ..
I still think Dirge of Cerberus is the best Unskippable so far, but this was pretty good. One thing that I like about Unskippable is that even when the commentary isn't great, they can bring a terribly acted cinematic to light. Man oh man, the main character's acting was so awful!
Not your top work, but Paul and Graham definitely had some of the best chemistry/rapport/llamas yet, which was nice. And, as usual, there were some fabulous one-liners, just not as consistently funny as last week's was. But still, your average stuff is hilarious.
That made the game's dialogue slightly more tolerable. Good jorb.
i concur
That was.....dissapointing somewhat =/
Tis awesome!
Thou t'game designers shalt nay do study rael olde English...
I've figured it out! Bad cenematics give rise to subpar unskipables. It's like trying to spruce up a lackluster meal (the video itself is the "meal" in this metaphore); add as much delisious spice as you may, and it'll still be infested with taint-- thereby still tasting bad. ;)
Good cinematics = great unskipables.
Still, it's kind of funny; the game opens with sour tone, like there's alot to be remourseful over, and it's got the themes of a great victory. "The god of the orcs (or some such) died." Sad sounding narrator. :P Nuts that everything should begin like the end of a happy ending.
I don't know, Eternal Sonata was a pretty bad cinematic.
That started off slow, but you rallied after a minute and a bit to bring home a solid showing. And man, was that an awfully voice acted cinematic.
Can't wait till next week!
Very good video guys. As a new series, well not as new, the videos are funny and great. LOL taint.
"Your sister is alive and well.."
Oil can...oil can.....
I love it, we both went "Khaaaan!" at the same time. XD
I dunno what's funnier, the voice acting, the halfassed accents, or the fact that the protagonist sounds like Long John Silver. I keep expecting him to "Arrgh!" & "Shiver me timbers!" or maybe to tell the last unicorn where the Red Bull is.
This one was a laugh all the way through ^_^
That might have actually be one of my favorites so far!
Well, I just lost my unskippable virginity, and now Im probably going to become a unskipable nympho. I literally had to pause twice just so I could get a moment to breath from all the laughing. I should have started watching these befores. Ofcourse, the fact that me and my family like to do this alot is also probably why I loved it so mutch, but seeing it timed and thought out is really funny.
hahaha the monty python reference was perfect. I was like "oh that sounds just like-ah, they got it" niccce
"Meh, it's probably a lot like diablo", haha.
What with the crappy acting? Did the entire cast suffer from a stroke before recordings or something? It doesn't hurt to put some, you know, emotion into it. Or did the taint magic make everybody a robot zombie?
This is the "Manos: The Hands of Fate" of Unskippable, a cutscene so unbearably boring that even the funny oneliners can't save it. You tried guys, but this one is soooo verry bad.
I don't know if I liked this one. There were some good one-liners ("I'll just fall off the back of this horse"), but I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities. How could you not comment on them trying so hard to cut the weeds, but nothing happening.
Also, I'm not sure if you guys were trying to be funny and purposely misspoke, but when the response to "'Tis harvest season" was "'Tis it?" I almost cringed. You basically said "It is it?"
And what is it with so many people in this thread writing it like T'would. The apostrophe comes first, it's replacing the "I" in "it". Aren't many of you British? I'd expect Americans to make that mistake, but not Brits...
You guys are really getting the hang of this. I think this was my favorite one yet. You're much funnier than UR or ZP has been lately. Perhaps those two series caught a whiff of the taint and died.
"This is no time to quote Monty python!"
bahahhaa. Comical gold.
"Knock knock, I'm selling girl guide cookies. We have chocolate, vanilla, and taint.
yeah.. who WAS he talking too?
also.. more then a couple.. but less then a bunch.. is that a heroes reference I see? *glee*
man this games voice acting was quite terrible.
But an awesome episode guys.
I cannot believe this game came out on 360. It would be barely acceptable on the original xbox.
Does anyone else find it weird that there's a scene in the cinematic of them slashing wheat/grass with reapers, but it stays intact? How sad is that? "Legend of Zelda" for the SNES had deformable grass and hedges, and we can't re-create that? :-P
Never played this...
...never will, either. I'm surprised you didn't mention the horrifically bad voice-acting! It was a cross between an annoying sports commentator and the annoying Rogue Leader training instructor.
funny but not as good as some previous ones....still awesome
wait...what exactly are they going to do for the sequel/expansion/thing I didn't research beyond the name?
only a shame that this game's video and voice sequences (along with all the rest) is so dreadful that even a parody of it becomes painful to watch.
Awesome, as usual.
wow, this series is REALLY getting better...
this one is tied with Dirge of Cerberus
Despite all the naysayers, this was a very funny Unskippable.
I read about the bad dialogue in this game before, but hearing it is a different story altogether! Still don't think I could handle it in it's raw form though...
"Nyeh, I bet it's just like Diablo."
Best one since Lost Planet. The serial ones keep getting better and better.

Yoga pants recall could be a good thing
The abject horror of the see-through yoga pants recall crescendoed to new, tragic heights when customers attempted to return their PG-13 garments.
"I went into my local store to return my Astro pants," one customer wrote on Lululemon's public Facebook page. "I was asked to bend over in order to determine sheerness. The sales associate then perused my butt in the dim lighting of the change room and deemed them 'not sheer.' "
No. No! Nooo. Such downward-facing drama. Such an unfortunate incident for Lululemon, the holy sweat palace of aspirational workout gear, which last week announced that 17 percent of its stretchy-bottomed stock was made from inferior fabric.
A statement, from the company: "We value the authentic relationships we have built with our guests. Their passion is amazing and we will always put them first."
A statement, from CEO Christine Day, in a Thursday-morning conference call, as reported by various news outlets: "The truth of the matter is the only way you can actually test for the issue is to put the pants on and bend over."
Namaste, y'all.
What can we learn from the recall of the $98 yoga pants? In what direction should we focus our third eye to eke meaning from the situation?
If the recall had impacted most any other workout gear, from moisture-wicking T-shirts to racerback tank tops, the news outlets who have followed this London & France-ing – the Atlantic, Bloomberg, The Washington Post – would not have done so with such tittering glee.
But moisture-wicking T-shirts do not have cults. Yoga pants are a cult.
They have replaced sweatpants for comfort, and jeans for daywear, and tights for warmth, and party pants for partying, and they are the uniform of every mother pushing a double stroller through Trader Joe's. They have become a default sartorial option, which is to say that the "yoga" modifier has become increasingly unnecessary. They are just pants.
"You go to Wal-Mart, and you see people in sweatpants, and you kind of get a little judgy," says Whitney Schwartz, 24, who runs the blog "I Wore Yoga Pants to Work." "But you can go to Target and wear yoga pants," and it's fine. Also, "I really do wear them to work a lot," she confesses. She's employed in an office environment. "Sometimes I get up in the morning and pretend they're leggings. I've been found wearing them at bars before. It's a little out of hand."
Does she do yoga? "Occasionally. Maybe one out of the 10 times I wear them, they are actually being worn" for a workout purpose.
The sweatpant of the 1980s, the Juicy velour suit of the 2000s – both of these had a shlumpy, self-deprecating modesty. They were casual in a way that covered assets instead of exposing them; people wore sweatpants when they felt bad. Yoga pants, even when opaque and functioning exactly as they are supposed to – are a pants designed for exhibitionists. They expose too much; they leave nothing to the imagination – they are the Twitter of clothing.
These are the pants of our society. We have the pants we deserve. Sorry.
"Just professionally speaking, it's just as easy to pull on a pair of leggings and a long top," says Alison Lukes, a Washington stylist who knows the threat of the yoga pants, the creeping and insidious way that the yoga pants may one day lower the standards of the nation. "The Pixie Pant from J. Crew is the perfect legging."
But people always choose the yoga pant. And the trouble with the yoga pant, Lukes says, "is that it can sort of bleed into other aspects of life." It begets the messy ponytail, which begets the ratty sweatshirt, which begets the general giving up on life and pride.
For Lululemon, the recall is unfortunate – an anticipated loss of $12 million to $17 million in the first quarter. For the rest of us?
"This," Lukes says, "is a great way to call for us to get up and get dressed in the morning."

DOVER — Late this morning Governor John Lynch declared New Hampshire in a state of emergency. Meteorologists say Hurricane Sandy has the potential to be a monster, and not just because it has the power to throw off local goblins' and ghouls' plans for Halloween. The "Frankenstorm," said to threaten 60 million Americans along the East Coast, is predicted to weave together some of the worst symptoms of inclement weather known. Lynch urges granite-staters to stay off the roads, stock up on gas, food and water.
Starting in the afternoon today, the Seacoast can expect persistent high winds and drenching rains while others around and south of New England may suffer extreme tides, flooding and even snowfall.
Senior Meteorologist Mike Kistner with the National Weather Service said Sunday evening the details of the storm for the area were fairly "ironed out," with predicted 1 to 3 inches of rainfall starting between 5 and 9 p.m. Monday night. Some areas may receive 4 inches of localized rain, he said. Sustained winds are expected to be at 35 and 40 miles per hour (mph), with gusts as strong as 60 and 70 mph.
Coastal flooding is also expected, especially for the Portsmouth area, with two- to four-foot surges and some waves offshore as high as 25 feet.
Kistner noted the cloudy skies and light rainfall experienced Sunday were part of the Sandy system.
"It is part of it. It is a giant, giant system and depending on what part you measure across," he said, "it stretches over 1,500 miles … There will probably be scattered to widespread power outages in this area, and weak structures like sheds could have some damage."
Sandy is an ordinary late summer hurricane from the tropics but combined with a high pressure ridge of air centered around Greenland blocking the hurricane's normal out-to-sea path forcing it west toward land makes it a strange concoction. A wintry cold front is moving in from the west, along with a blast of Arctic air from the north, and there will be a full moon with its usual effect, pulling in high tides.
With all factors combined, officials say this stitched-together weather monster is expected to unleash its power over 800 miles, with predictions in some areas of 12 inches of rain, 2 feet of snow and sustained 40- to 50 mph winds.
"The total is greater than the sum of the individual parts," said Louis Uccellini, the environmental prediction chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologists. "That is exactly what's going on here."
The NOAA has called this storm unprecedented. They report it is likely to be stronger and bigger than the 1991 Perfect Storm, will hit further south, and affect far more people.
Governor John Lynch also ordered the National Guard to put 100 soldiers on state active duty by 10 a.m. Monday, to be prepared to assist New Hampshire and local personnel with emergency response.
His administration cautioned the storm is unpredictable and its path could change with little warning.
Dover Police Lt. David Martinelli told Foster's the city's emergency management team, the city manager and police and fire departments, had not taken action yet against the storm but are prepared in case additional staff are needed.
"Right now, we're watching and prepared for what we need to do," he said.
Dover City Manager J. Michael Joyal, Jr., said "crews and equipment" were prepared and on standby in an email sent late Sunday night.
"... We will continue to follow this storm closely. With the exception of closing schools at least for tomorrow and postponing Halloween events until this coming Saturday evening," he wrote, "we will be attempting to maintain regular administrative office hours for city facilities ... Please continue to monitor the local news media for updates regarding the storm. "
He noted another update would sent late this morning.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Following the detention of the Russian-flagged trawler the "Oleg Naydenov" by the Senegalese national navy on charges of illegal fishing, Greenpeace reiterates its support to the government of Senegal for the enforcement of fisheries legislation and calls on the President and his government to remain firm on its commitment to put an end to illegal activities by such vessels.
Ahmed Diame, Oceans Campaigner of Greenpeace Africa said: "This particular vessel is well-known to Greenpeace. In February 2012, Greenpeace activists caught this vessel red-handed fishing illegally in Senegal's Exclusive Economic Zone. The vessel was trying to conceal its identity by covering its name. We encourage the Senegalese to continue their efforts to put an end to the plunder of our fragile marine resources. Cooperation and determination are the only ways through which West Africa will eradicate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishingfor the well-being of its communities and the health of the oceans".
Greenpeace has been made aware of media reports on the arrest of the Russian trawler Oleg Naydenov by Senegalese authorities in response to suspected illegal fishing in the Senegalese EEZ detected by a French military plane on December 23. We have no further information on the arrest or the reasons for it beyond what was reported in the media.

"An eloquent, refreshing perspective of the struggles faced by those living along the Mexican border."– Kirkus Reviews
Zinn (The Happiness Lottery, 2011, etc.) returns with a novel that chronicles the trials of a wandering cowboy who learns to take life by the horns.
Tyler "Ty" McNeil makes his living running rodeo shows, just like his father, now deceased, did. Ty spends several years traveling far from home to do so, which strains his marriage. He eventually chooses the rodeo over his wife, finding himself alone and unfulfilled. As a result, Ty makes a radical decision to take control of his life and live it on his own terms. Rather than blindly following the direction of others, Ty now desires to direct his own path, regardless of his obligations. The peace he makes and his thoughts on life as he grows older are magnificently captured through intermittent reflections. Ty abandons the rodeo and sets his sights on a ranch back home in southwestern Arizona. Zinn's characterization is purposeful, deep and rich; each character is well-developed and instrumental to the story. An intriguing mix of cultures populates the novel: Anglos, Mexicans, Native Americans and mixed-blood families. Although the story chronicles the changes in Ty's life over the course of two generations, the setting takes almost equal precedence, brought to life by vivid descriptions of the landscape. Among several entwined themes, family and its different permutations are at the heart of the novel: The rejection of Ty's biological son contrasts Ty's relationship with his adopted daughter. The author's love for Arizona is immersed in her lyrical writing, as the impact of environment on family is threaded wonderfully into various plotlines.
An eloquent, refreshing perspective on the struggles faced by those living along the Mexican border.

It's not the drive, it's the destination. Or is that vice versa? When you pair the Cadillac ATS with some of LA's best cuisine and nightlife, it's both.
The Fat Cow
Though owned by British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, the vibe at The Fat Cow is all American. Tucked amid the luxury boutiques at The Grove, this ode to a classic roadhouse eatery serves all things bovine, from the inventive burgers down to the chocolate caramel salted shakes. The atmosphere is equally rooted in vintage Americana--expect communal, reclaimed wood tables, exposed brick and plenty of flea market-sourced decor. Check out The Fat Cow.
Greystone Manor Supperclub
Just as they did with Hyde Lounge, nightlife maestros sbe channel old school Hollywood glamour with Greystone Manor, albeit on a much larger scale. At 10,000-square-feet, the boîte is big enough to attract boldface deejays like Tiesto and aerialist performers, while executive Chef Danny Elmaleh (the culinary whiz behind Cleo and Mercato di Vetro) serves up small plates and artisanal cocktails that go surprisingly well with all the unce-unce dance beats emanating from the joint's state-of-the-art sound system. Check out Greystone Manor Supperclub.

Hello Guys! Here is my new favorite!
I've mentioned before that I'm not used to wearing make-up everyday even at work. I'm just applying a moisturizer on my face and then voila! Or if my face is getting a bit oily, I'll just use a powder then I'm through. When it comes to my lips, I'm just using a lip balm to prevent my lips from being dry and flaky.
But sometimes, just a plain lip balm seems to get boring. I'm looking for something that is like a lipstick but it helps to moisturize your lips and doesn't feel so sticky. I wanted a lip balm that has a color or a tint!
So finally, my wish has come true <3
I've seen a lot of lip tint balms, but all of them are in containers which you have to use your finger in applying which is also I don't like because it seems to be messy and very unhygienic :( So I wanted it to on a stick that is easy to apply.
What I also love about this one is its peppermint/menthol effect on your lips after applying. You will really feel the coolness that it gives to your lips which will really brighten up your mood just like me ;)
Not only that, plus the fact that this product is from Human Heart Nature, which means, this lip tint balm is 100% Natural and free from harmful chemicals! This product is really amazing for me. This product is not only good outside of your lips but also inside because of the natural ingredients which will make your lips moisturized and healthy!
DID YOU KNOW THAT: This Tinted Lip Balm is only Php 74.75?!? Would you believe that? Unlike other products that cost way much higher than this *.*
Everything I'm looking for is already in this product! Btw, there are 3 shades but I've chosen the "Flame Kiss" which has a red tint (but don't worry, its not really that red) and also I got this for free from my last purchase (compensation) so thank you Human Heart Nature!
Here is the picture of myself wearing the tinted lip balm. If you will notice, it's not that red but it's OK for me because I can wear this anytime of the day. It also gives a glossy effect which I also love (unlike other liquid lip tints that when applied, the color is uneven on your lips and just emphasize the dry parts of your lips).
Thanks for reading!

Not such an intelligent design, creating a world that frequently slaughters hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. What is the religious excuse for natural disasters?
Views: 278
There isn't a good excuse. A good competent God wouldn't have created a world with such possibilities for disaster.
I agree, there isn't a good excuse. I don't even know what the bad excuses would be, though...
Oh, I can tell you what the bad excuses are. The most popular one is god "allows" these things for "mysterious reasons" because all things work together for good for god's will. Also a lot of times theists will say god allows these things because he has given us free will. I don't personally see the connection with that one but I hear it all the time. I also hear this one: "It's god's will and god's will is not for us to question" which kind of falls under the "mysterious reasons" category.
Oh, that just makes me gag. Thanks though :)

Now A Fish Out Of Water, Michael Phelps Becomes A Marathon Man Of Marketing
By Barry Janoff
Originally published in MediaPost
October 26, 2012: Michael Phelps was all dry and smiling through a full beard when he met the media for a pre-ING New York City Marathon event last week. Phelps was in town prior to the 26.2-mile NYC Marathon as a representative of Subway Restaurant, which is in its third year as an official NYC Marathon sponsor, and also as a supporter for his sister, Whitney, who will be running the event on Nov. 4.
Phelps, who retired from Olympic competition after the 2012 Games in London, holds a record 18 Olympic gold medals and 22 total medals in swimming. He has since learned how to become a marathon fish out of water when it comes to marketing.
Following the advice of his longtime agent, Peter Carlisle of Octagon, Phelps has never been far from the public eye even during non-Olympic periods.
Unlike Dustin Hoffman, the beleaguered anti-hero in the 1976 spy thriller, Marathon Man — who was asked the ominous question, "Is it safe?" — Phelps has discovered that it is safe to be a marketing spokesman even in non-Olympic, and now post-Olympic career, times.
Carlisle's long-time mantra has been that Phelps could earn $100 million from endorsements during his lifetime — a lofty number for Olympic-based athletes. Keep in mind, though, Tiger Woods was taking in $120 million a year in endorsements during his marketing peak.
In addition to Subway, endorsement deals include Under Armour (he was wearing UA gear at the NYC Marathon event), Visa, Speedo and Procter & Gamble. His key deals run through 2016, which means he will continue to be visible prior to and during the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro in marketing campaigns and as a corporate spokesman.
Subway has been with Phelps since 2008, and publicly supported him in 2009 when others did not after a photo surfaced of Phelps using drug paraphernalia. Five years earlier, Phelps endured another public scandal when he was arrested for DUI and served 18 months probation.
"Our approach to working with Michael is pretty well defined. And our way of working with Michael, as with most athletes, is different than everybody else," said Tony Pace, global chief marketing officer for the Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund. "Lots of people, when they work with athletes of Michael's calibre, will say, 'We'll work with him for 17 days every four years.' We are a brand that's all about training. So we're not just looking at when the spotlight is the highest. We're looking for when they really do the hard work."
Last year, Phelps worked with Olympic speed skating medal winner Apolo Anton Ohno, who ran the 2011 ING NYC Marathon in a respectable 3 hours, 25 minutes, 14 seconds. For the 2012 event, he is adding mental and physical support to his sister, Whitney, and his other sister, Hilary, who is scheduled to run in a 5K event prior to the Marathon.
And marketing, of course. Along with mom Debbie and his sisters, Subway has been claimed as the "official training restaurant of the Phelps Family," which will include a TV spot and signage in-store and on the race course, which covers all five boroughs of New York City. The event will air live on ESPN 2.
"[My family] helped me get through my career," Phelps said at The Sport Center at Chelsea Piers in New York. "So being able to help from the outside and see what Whitney's preparing herself for at the [New York] marathon, it's exciting."
In addition to meeting the media, he spent some time in the training pool with Whitney and ran some track with her snd Hilary, Subway spokesman Jared Fogle (who ran in the 2010 NYC Marathon) and Mary Wittenberg, president and CEO for New York Road Runners, which handles the marathon.
He also is devoting significant time to the Michael Phelps Foundation and the Michael Phelps Swim School to raise awareness for and promote the sport of swimming. And as he transitions from swimming, he is developing his golf stroke, including working with iconic golf instructor Hank Haney on The Haney Project, set for airing on NBC Sports Group's Golf Channel in February, and overseeing the annual Michael Phelps Foundation Golf Classic.
Earlier this month, he proved his golf mettle by sinking a 153-foot putt in the second round of team play during the Dunhill Links Championship at the Kingsbarn Golf Links in St. Andrews, Scotland.
"With Subway, he is also part of our marketing as we build globally. We have his face in restaurants in Mexico, Asia, the Middle East."
"He's still a young man, 27, he's a heck of a good golfer, he is a great athlete, so he will continue to compete but not in swimming," said Paul Bamundo, director of sports marketing, PR and partnerships for Subway FAF. "His foundation is important and a big part of his legacy. He is the face of the Olympic movement in the U.S., For us, he is also part of our marketing as we build globally. We have his face in restaurants in Mexico, Asia, the Middle East."
Phelps, now out of the water, continues to do many things. What won't he do? Actually run the Marathon. "Nope. Never. It's not something I see myself doing."

2012 Men's Soccer Players of the Week - No. 3
By Chad Waller, Director of Communications and Sports Information
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Will Monsour of Belhaven (Miss.) has been named the NAIA National Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week and Milco Risteski of Robert Morris (Ill.) has been tabbed National Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Monsour and Risteski were selected based on their performances from Sept. 10 - 16 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Monsour, a 6-foot junior forward from Shreveport, La., notched his second weekly award this year thanks to superb skills against nationally-recognized opponents. On Sept. 14 against "receiving votes" Embry-Riddle (Fla.), Monsour posted a pair of goals in the 3-0 victory. One night later, he recorded his NAIA-leading sixth game-winner to hand the Blazers a 3-2 win over No. 15 Texas at Brownsville in the NAIA Game of the Week.
On the week, Monsour had three goals and an assist for seven points. In NAIA statistical rankings, he leads the country in goals (13) and points (30).
Risteski, a 6-foot senior goalkeeper from Palatine, Ill., posted five saves in the shutout victory over No. 7 Bethel (Tenn.) in overtime on Sept. 14. The shutout was the third of the year and kept the No. 20-ranked Eagles unbeaten with a 5-0-1 record.
In national statistics, he is in the top 50 in goals against per game (0.950) and saves per game (5.20).

Jan 14, 2011 at 11:27Excellent ginger Carrot soup :D
Jul 1, 2011 at 22:51I am happy to see this kind of restaurant opening in Lebanon. I actually thought of opening one myself as I used to love these when I lived in Paris. Well done!
Feb 1, 2012 at 03:50A definite MUST TRY!! I simply fell in love with that place, yet sadly it closed!! They are moving to Hamra... Yet I have yet no clue where they opened. I visited the old location several times with many friends whom I made sure get to know the place and try it. The Ginger Carrot soup is simply divine. Salads are always FRESH and tasty. A rich choice of vegetables, cold meats, nuts, cheeses and dressings to pick from. DON'T get toooo crazy with your ingredients, the cost of the salad can easly become ridiculously HIGH for a salad. The owner and manager is almost always there to greet you with her warm pleasant smile making sure that everything is up to your liking. If you feel like something good for your health and ur waist line, then this is the place for you. I'm in love!
Jun 11, 2013 at 14:44Hi Aziz, Thank you for your wonderful review. Indeed we have relocated to Hamra and shifted our business to a Delivery only and Catering concept. Our Salads, soups and Wraps are still delivered to you as Fresh and consistent as ever. Please don't hesitate to drop us a call on 01-748222 or Email us for further inquiries. You can also add us on our FB page to stay posted on our latest updates! All the best! Lara
Jul 11, 2011 at 16:14Very nice and needed concept! Food is fresh and tasty, and service was up to the standards.. I always go to Green Carrot for quick take-away healthy salad sandwiches.Two things to watch out for:1- dont try to be too fancy when picking your mix, it can have a weird taste :$2- make sure you got a change of clothes, it can get very messy..
Jun 26, 2011 at 19:23The salads are good but the service is probably the worst in lebanon. 10 times the delivery went to the wrong address. On sundays when i'm home, the food goes to my workplace. On weekdays instead of delivering to AUH they always end up at AUB main gate. If you've ordered food from one place, it is highly probable that future deliveries will always go to THAT place regardless of the address you fill out on the online form. the delivery guy miss-calls my phone 3 times to find me and i have to call him and waste units. they added 2,000LL delivery charge without informing us via website.
Jun 28, 2011 at 03:58Dear Moe, Thank you for your feedback. I am the owner, and I apologize on behalf of Green Carrot's team for delivering your order to your work address. We have saved your second address in our database as mentioned yesterday to avoid further mistakes. Furthermore, you will not be bothered by the missed calls from the delivery personnel anymore. As for the delivery charge, we regret to inform you that 2,000LL is implemented on orders delivered to greater Beirut. Orders in Achrafieh and nearby are delivered for free. To compensate, you will have your next order delivered for free. Best regards
Jun 30, 2011 at 16:43Dear Lara Thank you for making the effort of responding to the comment. The salads are really great and I will definitely keep ordering them. Also have to thank you for the free order. you didnt have to! Cheers
Dec 13, 2010 at 09:15:) Best Of Luck :)
Aug 8, 2011 at 13:51I did it once, but I'll be thinking twice before re-trying it. The waiter keeps forgetting our order, and once i thought he got it, he brought me something I didn't order.I totally understand that this is a new restaurant, but they need some experienced waiters I believe.But to be honest the ginger soup is GRRRREAT. I am ready to forget all the mistakes just to go back and have that soup...
Aug 8, 2011 at 16:18Dear Wissam, Thank you for your comment. When was the last time you visited Green Carrot? I apologize that this has happened with you; the waiter was undergoing training procedures. But since you loved the ginger Carrot soup, and to compromise for the wrong order you got; you are invited anytime at your convenience to the store to have as many as you want for free. :) Regards, Lara
Oct 21, 2011 at 01:39Excellent salads, and service seems to be doing great in my part. I did however run into one occurrence in which the "remarks" section of ordering online did not go through. I had indicated specific items to be taken out of the salad I ordered, and in addition to add other items. Instead, I get a regular cobb salad delivered to me. Upon inquiring the store, it seems that there was no remark made in my order. I hope this issue will get fixed though! Online ordering is definitely a good direction the store is taking!
Dec 20, 2013 at 12:57Cockroach Alert! Buy one get a COCKROACH for free! After eating half my salad I found a cockroach. I called to tell them, the answer was sorry don't know where it came from, maybe from outside or something... That was after asking me how big it is and was it on top or where. They asked then if I want something else instead, as if I could digest any of their food. Next time its on us, Yeah Right next time!
Jan 2, 2011 at 02:27Well I tried Green Carrot 2 days ago. The idea of it is quite unique. But unfortunately the service is so bad! The waiter forgot that we ordered drinks, and when we reminded him, he got us some juice that we didnt order! Everytime I asked the waiter about the dish ingredients, he answered with a '' smile + i dont know ''. I ordered a salad, and 5 of the ingredients I ordered were missing! And those were the turkey, cheese, nachos, almonds and side brown bread! So, for me, it's a ' no visit again to green carrot '.
Jan 5, 2011 at 23:48Dear Sarah, I strongly appreciate your feedback. As the owner of the restaurant and concept, I sincerley apologize for the poor quality of service you have experienced. I hope you can understand that we are on soft opening and we are not 100% ready. I would greatly appreciate it if you can call me at the store on 01-333081 if you have any questions on the menu and food; and nothing would please me more than to invite you at no charge to come and give us another shot at your convenience. Thank you Lara

Design of thrust washer arrangements
Thrust washers are advantageous even if axial loads are light and a surface is not adequate to accommodate the thrust, either because the material or its finish is unsuitable. For shafts that need radial support and axial location, a combination of a bushing (Design of bushing arrangements) and a thrust washer can be used (fig. 1) depending on the magnitude of the axial load. A thrust washer is generally located in a housing recess (fig. 1) and secured by a dowel pin or grub screw to prevent it from rotating. The heads of the pins or screws must be recessed to at least 0,3 mm below the sliding surface and the entire surface of the thrust washer should be supported. Also the counter surface should completely cover the sliding surface of the composite thrust washer. If for some reason, a recess cannot be provided in the housing, the thrust washer can be attached to the housing by two pins or screws (fig. 2) or by gluing. The appropriate dimensions for this type of location are provided in the product table.

The ability of bioenergy to dominate headlines shows no signs of slackening. "Frankly, right now, I'm more of an energy policy analyst than a farm policy analyst," said James Wiesemeyer, vice-president of Informa Economics, at the 2007 Arkansas State University Agribusiness Conference in Jonesboro.
Wiesemeyer has written on agriculture-related issues for 30 years and has never covered "a more important subject than renewable fuels. I think we're going into a sustainable, golden era of U.S. agriculture that will definitely impact (the South) within five to 10 years, big-time."
Currently, soybean prices have rallied because of the concern that $4-plus corn prices will "whittle down" soybean acres too much.
"There's a battle for acres. This is happening even though the carryover for soybeans is at 595 million bushels, a record."
And there's more good news on the horizon, predicted Wiesemeyer. During the second half of 2007 the U.S. economy "will be even better than it is now. Worldwide, a number of countries are growing faster than the United States. That means their ability to import your farm products is increasing. So the foundation of the U.S. and foreign economies is good."
Recently, the U.S. dollar has been in a correction downturn. For U.S. agriculture "that's good because it makes your product more competitive. If I've learned anything … it's that you have to be efficient to survive and your industry has to be competitive.
"This helps you be competitive. But you don't want the dollar to go down too far. This has caused all the investment in our great economy by … China. China is the one big, major player since the go-go days of the 1970s market."
China is just beginning its love affair with the automobile.
"They're where we were in the 1950s and 1960s. They won't hold back. So the demand bull market in energy will continue (due to) China and India."
And China isn't looking back.
"In about 15 years, China's GDP will exceed the United States' GDP.… Outside the U.S., the world looks upon China as an option. They need another power in the world to balance the power of our great country.
"So they'll use China against us. They'll play the so-called 'China card.'"
Before saying anything about the new farm bill, "you really have to know how much money Congress has to spend. In the 2002 farm bill, they spent a lot — $48 billion more over five years than what the CBO said they could afford."
When Congress' budget resolution is produced in early March, it will be a key indicator on how much money will be available for the new farm bill.
"The budget resolution is important because that's when farm state lawmakers will ask for $10 billion or $12 billion more than the farm programs baseline, which will probably be $18 billion lower than the 2002 farm bill baseline."
This is due to higher prices for corn, soybeans, wheat and rice.
"That means lower loan deficiency payments, lower, if any, counter-cyclical loan payments. So we'll spend a lot less.
"However, we're in a deficit situation with a deficit of about $250 billion. But they're still utilizing Social Security funds to mask what the deficit really is."
Wiesemeyer is telling commodity groups the time has arrived to change farm policy.
"Change is coming, whether it's this bill or another. Don't be afraid of change. I say that because in the years 2015 to 2020, the Baby Boomer generation — and I'm part of the 79 million — will be retired. We can't afford our Social Security, especially Medicare, costs right now. It's an accident waiting to happen.
"So leadership will have to deal with that situation. I don't think (anyone should expect) substantial funding for farm policy in those years. Now is the right time for change."
More writing is on the wall. In the House, Democrats have already approved a "pay as you go" approach.
"If you have an increase in an entitlement program, you must find a budget off-set elsewhere. Or you can raise taxes. It's very controversial but watch that because it will come into play during this farm bill debate."
The 1996 farm bill was written in an era of budget deficits. "That was really the beginning of the Freedom to Farm bill. At that time, the farm-state lawmakers wanted to protect just what they were spending. That's very similar to the debate that will unfold in the months ahead.
"In 2002, we were in a surplus situation, real or perceived. It was really perceived but that didn't stop farm-state lawmakers from getting a lot more money. And it created pretty good farm policy and one of the best safety nets I've seen."
The Marketing Loan Program is "fundamentally the best program in the U.S." that Wiesemeyer has seen.
"But it can't continue in years ahead … because we've been found out. It will be ruled trade-distorting if it's challenged. A developing country will challenge it eventually and they'll win. So, again, make reforms now before you are forced to reform."
And throw this into the mix: on Feb. 13, rice-growers voted "to increase the loan rate from $6.50 to $6.70 and increase the target price from $10.50 to $11."
Meanwhile, soybean growers proposed their program on Feb 9. They also want a little higher loan rate and target price.
As for trade talks, Wiesemeyer was much more optimistic about the Doha Round than others on the winter meeting schedule.
"Bush needs a legacy badly and that's an understatement. He wants to get this trade agreement through. Eventually, the Doha Round will be completed.
"I'll bet anyone who says it will implode. I don't think it will because it's too important."
Ninety-four percent of all world trade is outside agriculture, pointed out Wiesemeyer.
"That's why the Uruguay Round — the one before Doha — took eight years to complete. They wanted to get it done in three years but it took an additional five.
"Now, (we) may be under a new president before the (Doha Round) gets done. The reason I say that is because of all the industries outside agriculture. Think of Bill Gates, the bankers, the telecommunicators. Once they're done picking the low fruit after globalization unfolds, they'll want more market access. They'll go to Congress and the administration and say, 'get this agriculture agreement done.' That will happen."
But when it happens, "it will bring substantial reform to U.S. farm policy. I hope any lawmaker who tells you trade policy won't dictate U.S. farm policy is Catholic so they can go to confession because they're lying."
First saying he hopes he's wrong, Wiesemeyer doesn't believe Cuba will be open to U.S. trade soon.
"As long as you have the current president — and I can tell you a lot of positives about Bush — you won't have open trade with Cuba. The reason is the Cuban-American voter in Florida.
"Assuming Castro ever dies, his brother, Raul, will take over. But they have a benefactor, the new Russia, called Venezuela. And (Venezuela is) Cuba with oil. And Venezuela is very anti-U.S. and anti-Bush.
"When you see legislation calling for an open market with Cuba, flip the page. It won't happen shortly."
For rice producers angry about the current LibertyLink situation, Wiesemeyer quoted Ronald Reagan: "revenge is an emotion, not a policy."
"Don't turn your anger towards the agriculture research facilities. That's a short-term, knee-jerk reaction. Until you know how (the contamination) happened — and we still don't know — how can you find a solution? Find out and admit how it happened.
"For perspective, it took the corn industry (over) four years to get Starlink out of the system. But this too shall pass and don't give up on GMOs."
Wiesemeyer also broached immigration. Every 35 seconds an immigrant comes into the United States either legally or illegally. And every 7 seconds, a child is born in this country.
"Add those two groups together and almost 50 percent are Hispanic. You think this country isn't changing? It's unbelievable. This will have trade, policy, economic and political repercussions.
"You think the presidential (candidates) next year won't vie for the Hispanic vote? Watch it. It's a growing phenomenon."
As for how the world views the United States, "we aren't well-liked. I think they're wrong but you don't have to travel a lot (to see this). When I come back from the Middle East, I kiss the tarmac when I get back."
Even though bioenergy won't bring the United States "even close" to energy independence, the effort is still worth it because of lessening dependence "on countries that aren't our friends. Think through 911 — all but two (of the hijackers) came from Saudi Arabia. They say one thing and do another. The terrorists only have to be successful one time in bombing the world's biggest crude oil plant in Saudi Arabia. And they've already tried more times than our government has admitted."

Am going to say that most of the forum members are 65-, since some of us trying to trace friends etc are now in our 70s and tracing friends is almost impossible. I understand that the population of the wee toon has dwindled over the years,but I attended the class of 58 back in 2000/2001 and several old school friends were there that night who still live in the toon.
Fiona Mc Kinley,Liz Mc lean, Ali Sharp,Robert Colby,Norrie Thomson,Jim Reid,Duncan Mc Millan,Jim Martin,Tony Mc Gougan,to name a few.Maybe reachout to the 65+ mob and convince them the Kintyre Forum is a good way to keep in touch. Anyway am off,leaving South Africa heading to Chile,will continue to read the forum because it reminds me of my roots,and where my heart belongs.

"This is something we've been working towards for a long time," Marysville coach John Carder said. "We've kind of had our ups and downs, and these guys have really come together the last two or three weeks in the season and kind of found themselves at the right time. We're playing really well right now and we just want to keep that on a roll and keep going."
The regional semifinal winner will play Hilliard Darby, Thomas Worthington or Grove City in a regional final May 31 at Coffman.
Darby, the district's 13th seed, defeated top-seeded Pickerington North 2-0 on May 22 and fourth-seeded Thomas was leading seventh-seeded Grove City 6-0 in the sixth inning May 23 when play was suspended because of bad weather. Play will resume May 24 at Otterbein.
The Monarchs defeated Briggs 6-5 for their 1992 district title, which came in Division II.
Marysville was playing in its first district final since 2003, when it lost to Upper Arlington 11-5.
Against Watkins Memorial, sophomore pitcher Aron Mowery went the distance, allowing six hits, striking out 12 and walking none.
The Monarchs scored a run in the first and another in the fourth for a 2-0 lead and added five runs in the sixth to make it 7-0.
Kyle Hites' two-run double was the key hit in the sixth.
Matt Mulholland and Nick Ciotola each had two hits for the Monarchs.
The Warriors scored their runs in the seventh, with the first coming on Steve Asbury's leadoff home run.

The European Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships 2009 London events started a week ago with teams from all over Europe converging throughout Friday. 40 teams (120 players) and only one team didn't show.
Friday – Meet & Greet and London's First Polocat.
Thursday night for Bill, James, John and Me was a refs meeting which start at 8pm and finished at around midnight… with Mike rolling by from Downham court. Mike had been making the netted goals in the dark ready for the weekend (more on this to follow).
My Friday involved 'borrowing' a few more of these posts and finishing off the goals. On my trip to pick-up these posts i bumped into the Coneheads from Glassgow, Olli from Germany and my house guests from Rouen… these guys were my saviour! So we grabbed a post each and headed for throwins at Downham where I finished off making the netted goals.
While this was going on the courts were being made down in Southwark:
Meet & Greet – It was a massive turnout for registration and the polocat at Tour De Ville… With food and beers on offer.

Polocat – From what i gather the polocat winner cleaned up. The polocat involved going to 4 different courts around London and performing tasks. The more crazy/outlandish/giving beer to the people manning the post the more points you were awarded. Also there was a hunt for a golden mallet.
Wee Scott won the polocat. By the end of the polocat he managed to find the mallet, spray his bike gold, set his bike on fire and ride the bike on fire while being completely naked. words from MAX "basically he's won"
The prize was some Rapha gear and a set of disk covers drawn my Max's brother.

Saturday 7am – Monmouth for coffee to meet Bill then off to the court. Surprisingly we werent the first ones there Garlic Boy (Louis of Les Debutantes), Complaining as usual. 🙂
As the minutes went by more players were turning up. Then the players briefing and a run through the rules.

Oh and the nets on the goals were scrapped by the players show of hands.
Game on!
What can i say, the day was a blurr of some amazing and some not so great games. The games on the first day were ten minutes long and were being played on 2 courts with 8 teams being knocked out by the end of the day. The teams that were knocked out played a mini tourney on Sunday. Also during the day we had a newcommers session held by playsport london. Some tourney snaps:

Playsport session:
And… Yes all London Teams made it through to the next round, including the throwin team the Downham All Stars.
Thanks to shop14 for organising the after party.
Sunday – Final Day
Another early start and another day of games and reffing.
Since i was so engulfed in the game play rather than the quality my game reports would involve tapping, fouls and back chat rather than great passes and amazing shots. BUT… the game play had quicken and the goals were coming thicker and faster with 15 min games. More finished before time than the day before. I think it was clear to a lot of people which team would be taking the trophy home. The battle for 2nd position was still very unclear.
The teams that it could have gone either way for were: (in no particular order)
Dans te Gueule, Puceau,
Berlin 1,
…each game has a story, and the lead up to the final started with
Malice vs Dans de Gueule, Puceau – Malice 5-2
which was in the losers bracket… they were waiting for the losers of the next game…unfortunately i could only hear the banging of the barriers over the shouts and screams from the court i was reffing so my write up is non existent. sorry.

L'Equipe vs Torros – L'Equipe 1-0
1 minute into the game there was a collision which lead to a time out and an injury to L'Equipes Lucas who played on till time ran out. This was a closely fought battle and as you can tell by the score kept the spectators on the edge of their seats.
So this win guaranteed at the worst a second spot on the podium. Bearing in mind L'Equipe had won all their games.
The semi finals third place and a place in the final was up for grabs:
Malice vs Torros – Malice 3-2
Both teams were on top form not one player not giving 100% with lots of controversy and a called goal and plenty of crowd participation led this to be one of the games of the tourney. James Brown already a crowd favourite throughout the whole day, displaying some amazing speed and eye of the needle shooting and some wall like defending from Vidal and midfield feeding from both Iain and Matt lead JB to shoot some of the most amazing goals of the tourney concreting their place in the final.

Influential, rapidly growing area youth club partners with
Crew's youth development club to create Phoenix Crew Juniors
For Immediate Release: Thursday, April 29, 2010
Contact: Dave Stephany, 614-447-4190, or Jason Smith, 614-447-4176
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Crew Juniors, the Columbus Crew's youth development club, and FC Phoenix announced today a formal partnership to form Phoenix Crew Juniors (PCJ), providing families in surrounding communities an outstanding local option to be connected with one of the most comprehensive youth soccer models in Major League Soccer and the nation.
With this partnership, Crew Juniors continues to expand its sphere of influence at the community level by adding an influential youth club partner that has already grown to 27 teams after just forming in 2007. Phoenix Crew Juniors will play its matches at the CESA Value City Fields at Easton, and will field teams ranging from Under-8 to U-18 for both boys and girls.
FC Phoenix Director of Coaching James Field will now assume the role of Phoenix Crew Juniors Director of Coaching. Much like the Worthington Crew Juniors, PCJ coaches will benefit from the unique Crew-developed and branded coaching curriculum, in addition to a strong and consistent commitment to continuing education.
"We are very excited to welcome James and his entire FC Phoenix organization into our Crew Juniors family," said Andrew Arthurs, the Crew's VP of Soccer Business Development and Crew Juniors Executive Director. "He's done a remarkable job building something special in a short period of time, and we all believe that the resources and assets that the Crew provides greatly enhance the experiences of our players.
"The Phoenix Crew Juniors will provide top-quality and comprehensive programming to families on the South and East sides of central Ohio. As those players develop and are ready for higher levels, they'll be part of a model that provides that upward mobility and opportunity with our Crew Juniors Gold, CrewSoccerAcademy, Crew 19s and Crew Super 20s."
Phoenix Crew Juniors players will enjoy access to Crew players, coaches and facilities (Crew Stadium and the Crew Training Center at Obetz), will wear the colors of one of the most recognizable brands in American soccer, and will be able to reach their highest potential level in one comprehensive system. Crew Soccer Academy (U16 and U18) teams are fully funded and have enjoyed tremendous success in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy league, which is the U.S. National Team's player identification program.
"We are delighted to become the newest partner of the Columbus Crew and their youth program and are immensely excited about the opportunities and exposure that players within the southern and eastern communities of Columbus will now receive with this partnership," Field said. "The level of professionalism and resources that currently exist with the Crew Juniors model will benefit players of all levels from recreational to select, to Development Academy and beyond."
Crew Juniors Mission Statement
The Crew Juniors were formed to create the premier youth player development program in Major League Soccer. We strive to assemble the finest coaching staff and to be committed to their long-term development through continuing education. We commit to establishing an outstanding learning environment for young people, on and off of the field. We pledge to run the Crew Juniors organization with a sense of community, and a commitment to give back to the game and assist with its growth at all levels.

text: SueG56 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2013 Glad to have found this forum and hope someone can help me with some basic questions! I am making ornaments - I am using a cone 6 porcelain - i have rolled out the porcelain on a pasta machine to about 1/8" thick. I have had success making my ornaments, but am having problems once I have glazed them and start painting them (china paints). Apparently I am not firing correctly, because after all this work, I am finding many pieces with mildew spots. So, I am running a new batch. This time I am firing very slowly - turning up the heat half a notch every hour or so. I don't have any fancy controllers on my kiln - it is only a doll kiln with a kiln sitter. Anyway, I plan on firing to cone 04 and then sanding down the rough edges and refiring to cone 6 and then glazing at cone 06. Here are my questions: 1. After I have fired to cone 04 and then sanded the edges down, when I refire these to cone 6, do I need to slowly ramp up the temperature again, or does all the water come out with the first firing? Or can I just fire them on high until it reaches cone 6? 2. Am I in the right ballpark in assuming that my mildew problem is from trying to fire too fast the first time and excess water is not getting out? Thanks for any help you can provide!

We need a cool but simple logo/tagline that we can use for business cards, website, stationary, etc. and want to hint that Blume can also mean "bloom".
Blume Partners
Blume Partners is a strategic growth advisor that works with clients to uniquely and holistically evaluate their business model and diagnose gaps in their business plan then tactically refine, and execute on, that plan in order to put them in a better position to achieve their goals.
We need a logo and tagline for the company. We want to be cool and hip but sophisticated and simple. Is that possible?
A logo and tagline that suggest a company is blooming to hint at the double meaning of Blume would be ideal. We do work with later stage companies also though so don't want anything too trite like a flower suggesting early stage or incubation companies.
- open to suggestions
- suggest blooming and growing but not early stage
- simple but cool
- sophisticated but a little funky
- looking for a tagline as well
- Sounds like I want the art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator (from 99designs website) - need to be able to use this for cards, stationary, website, etc.
- Also need it in JPEG format
- not too over the top
- not trite or cliche
- don't suggest only early stage companies

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Dec. 3, 2013) -
Greenfields Petroleum Corporation ("Greenfields" or the "Company"; (TSX VENTURE:GNF)(TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB), announces that, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced loan agreement among an arm's length third party (the "Lender"), the Company, Greenfields Petroleum Holdings Ltd. and Greenfields Petroleum International Company Ltd., the Company has issued 127,986 common shares of the Company to the Lender as bonus shares ("Bonus Shares") as a result of the achievement on December 2, 2013 of the second of four operational milestones. The Bonus Shares are subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Company intends on continuing its discussions with potential lenders with respect to eventually replacing the US$25 million loan facility on more favorable terms with reserve based lending.
About Greenfields Petroleum Corporation
Greenfields is a junior oil and natural gas corporation focused on the development and production of proven oil and gas reserves principally in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Company plans to expand its oil and gas assets through further farm-ins and acquisitions of Production Sharing Agreements from foreign governments containing previously discovered but under-developed international oil and gas fields, also known as "greenfields". More information about the Company may be obtained on the Greenfields website at www.greenfields-petroleum.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to obtaining reserve based lending. In addition, the use of any of the words "initial, "scheduled", "can", "will", "prior to", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "should", "forecast", "future", "continue", "may", "expect", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including, but not limited to, expectations and assumptions concerning the success of optimization and efficiency improvement projects, the availability of capital, current legislation, receipt of required regulatory approval, the success of future drilling and development activities, the performance of existing wells, the performance of new wells, general economic conditions, availability of required equipment and services, weather conditions and prevailing commodity prices.

Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses; and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, changes in legislation affecting the oil and gas industry and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures.

This question already has an answer here:
I am confused concerning the unified process model and agile development. When I'm reading about the UP, I'm only understanding that it is an iterative improvement. Can someone please clarify this?
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Both UP and Agile are iterative approaches. If we were to draw a spectrum of documentation requirements for development processes then Waterfall would represent one extreme, Agile would be placed on the other side. UP exists in the middle between Waterfall and Agile and can take many slots in that spectrum depending upon how it's implemented.
No documentation as a development model would be much further past Agile on that spectrum, so please don't misconstrue my comment as indicating Agile is as far from the "middle" as Waterfall is. Agile can be a pretty reasonable approach to development.
UP is more document (artifact) heavy than Agile is. There is a broader range of artifacts that can be created through the development process, and there are potentially more stages for review. Agile relies a lot more on direct communication and short iterations for constant validation.
As a generalization, UP is better suited for larger teams on larger projects where you won't always have face to face communications. Agile works better on smaller teams and smaller projects. But those are just generalizations, not hard and fast rules.
IMO, every team should examine the various development approaches, including Waterfall, to understand the strengths of the approach and to determine if that's appropriate for the team. I have seen a number of Agile projects that could use better defined documentation. I have seen UP projects that disconnected from the client's real requirements because they picked the wrong artifacts to work with. All processes have their negatives, so make sure the right approach is picked for the project and team.
Unified Process is a detailed and well-defined process.
"Agile" is not a process at all, it is simply a way of saying that one follows the Agile manifesto which, in turn, is just a bunch of values and practices.
So, in short, any process that follows the agile manifesto can be considered agile.
So here's the problem, CMMI and RUP have gotten a bad rep because they have been associated with expensive, documentation-riddled, over-priced projects. This is how it was sold by the "experts". Think about it, when you ask an outside company to help you put a software process into place and then to implement a pilot project using that process, the temptation is very high for that company to make the process as drawn out and convoluted as possible.
The RUP does not require you to fill out every document in the catalog, it provides them as guidelines and templates and encourages you to take what you need and even GASP customize the process to fit your company.
Likewise CMMI does not REQUIRE reams of documentation. Unfortunately, a lot of the companies that perform CMMI appraisals are the same ones that sell RUP as a waterfall process. One need not look far to see how conflicting interests of an auditor who is also a contractor can lead to disaster (e.g. Enron).
RUP is a framework and as you've recognized is an iterative process. There are agile frameworks that recognize this (see eXtreme Unified Process).

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A retired barber accused of fatally shooting a California urologist was a patient who had an appointment with the victim and brought the gun with him to the exam room, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Stanwood Fred Elkus, 75, was charged with murder in the Monday attack that killed Dr. Ronald Gilbert.
The 52-year-old doctor was shot multiple times in the upper body at his office in the affluent city of Newport Beach in suburban Orange County.
Elkus, of Lake Elsinore, appeared in court Wednesday afternoon wearing an orange jumpsuit with his hands in his pockets, and told a judge he couldn't afford an attorney.
Superior Court Judge Craig Robinson postponed his arraignment until March 5, and said Elkus would be assigned a public defender in the interim. He was being held without bail.
Elkus had appeared at the office seeking an appointment on Friday, though it was not clear with which of the three doctors who worked at the Orange Coast Urology Group, said Matt Murphy, the deputy district attorney prosecuting the case.
Elkus was told he could be squeezed into Gilbert's schedule on Monday, when he waited in the exam room with a handgun before opening fire when the doctor walked in, Murphy said.
He then gave the gun to another staff member at the medical office and was arrested quietly, authorities said.
Investigators have found no evidence that Gilbert ever treated Elkus prior to the appointment, Murphy said.
Elkus had long suffered from prostate problems and was upset about his incontinence after a recent surgery, his neighbors said. It wasn't clear who performed the surgery.
Elkus' health problems left him running for the bathroom constantly, sometimes in mid-conversation, neighbors said.
"One day we were talking about other things outside and he says, 'Oh hold it right there!' and he was rushing to his house and when he came back, he said, 'I have a problem with my prostate,'" recalled Miguel Soto, who lives across the street.
"He said, 'I had surgery and now I am worse than before the surgery.'"
Another neighbor, James Lord, said Elkus mentioned Sunday that "he wasn't going to be around much longer."
"I told him, 'No Stan, you're gonna outlive me,'" Lord said.
Gilbert worked in general urology, sexual dysfunction and related surgical techniques, including vasectomies, bladder and prostate cancer, according to his biography on the website of Orange Coast Urology, which he joined in 1993.
One of his specialties involved using a laser to vaporize prostate tissue blocking the urinary tract.
The biography said Gilbert had been a stockbroker and a singer in a rock band. He had worked for 20 years at Hoag Hospital and was its former urology chief.
Jablon reported from Los Angeles. Associated Press writer Shaya Tayefe Mohajer in Newport Beach and AP researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York City contributed to this report.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- South Africa's Denel SOC and Alenia Aermacchi of Italy have signed an MOU to explore possible joint ventures on the African continent.
The areas of interest covered by the Memorandum of Understanding are manufacturing, training programs, maintenance and technical support.
"Through this venture we will stimulate the growth of South Africa's own future aerospace industry and support the national objectives to strengthen the country's high-technology manufacturing sector," said Denel Group Chief Executive Officer Riaz Saloojee.
Saloojee said the MOU with the Italian company is part of the company's strategy to grow its presence in the region and become the partner of choice for international defense companies.
Alenia Aermacchi, which produces aircraft and aeronautics products, also said the partnership is important to its growth.
"This agreement with a leading African player is potentially extremely important to strengthen the position of our company in a growing economic environment," said Giuseppe Giordo, chief executive officer of Alenia Aermacchi.
"Alenia Aermacchi products represent the perfect solution for the demanding requirements of the African air forces and airlines. In the whole continent, Alenia Aermacchi has a long product tradition with over 750 aircraft delivered to African air forces and have had a fruitful industrial collaboration in South Africa with more than 250 Impala trainer and light attack aircraft produced in the country."
