E3: Hitman: Absolution
Pages PREV 1 2
Really looking forward to this game. "Instinct mode" is just one more thing nearly every game does after Batman: Arkham Asylum, but I'm cool with it if it is coompletely optional.
I think we can all agree that Hitman Blood Money is and was the best Hitman made, aside from fanboy opinions (which I can accept when discussing Hitman).
Blood Money had the least story focus of the series, it also had the most freedom/fun.
The Hitman series sort of ruined itself with average plots and boring story telling but from out of the blue, Blood Money to the rescue!
I hope there's less emphasis on violence contradicting the trailer somewhat but more focus on gameplay and gameplay mechanics/ideas
in terms of gameplay mechanics i do prefer Blood Money, but man Silent Assassin had the BEST orchestral soundtrack a game could wish for !
I don't think I said that at all?
I'm hoping they stick to the sneaking in the shadows and playing out a carefully orchestrated assassination and NOT do what Conviction did to the Splinter Cell series. Blood Money's gameplay was the best in the series and hopefully they maintain that progress and don't deviate into a different genre altogether.
except the holding your hand feature everything else looks proising.looking forward
Woah, this all reminded me that I never actually finished Blood Money...I am ashamed.
I don't even remember why. Got distracted with something else? I don't know...
But it's the only one I ever played. Should I play the other Hitman games, or is Blood Money enough?
Blood Money, Silent Assassin and Contracts are all pretty good games. But do yourself a favor; DO NOT PLAY HITMAN 1! It will suck, trust me.
It looks absolutely awesome, Blood Money is pretty old game by now and this will come out only next year. Damn, the waiting time is too long.
The Instinct skill sounds like a useful tool for getting newbies into the game. The skill sounds like it highlights exactly what you can interact with. This allows the environments to look and feel more natural by not needing to highlight items or points of interest at all times. Also it allows the environments to be cluttered by a lot of useless stuff, without the fear that the player will become lost in all the clutter. Not to mention that the stealth genera has not exactly been in the foreground in recent years and so there are probably a lot of people who are very unfamiliar with stealth type gameplay. I would have never known that the Hitman or Thief games existed if I hadn't been listening to Yhatzee drool over them for so long.
In any case, a skill that predicts the AI movements for you is very useful for new comers who may not yet be in the right mindset for the game or have not developed that skill before. Not to mention there may be environments where there are a great number of possible patrol paths, so instead of making the player learn them through trial and error, they can more easily predict them and make the game move more smoothly. Now that I mention it, this skill allows for the AI to take a more randomized and unpredictable path. Now the game isn't so much about learning the level as it is navigating in a truly unpredictable environment.
I bet that the longer you play the game the less you need the skill, as you start to learn what parts of the environment are important and which aren't. I would think of it as an extended tutorial personally. You can call it hand holding if you want, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it evil. The question is, will they use this skill to make the environments more unpredictable, or will it only serve as an extended tutorial.
I just can't understand the mindset that looks down on someone for needing help.
*EDIT* Btw, any game that can get more people interested in actual stealth gameplay is good in my book (as opposed to this psudo-stealth of Splintercell convictions and Assassin's Creed).
..did you knock them out at least?
OT; I just hope it works suitably and doesn't detract from the game..
but well see when it comes out, or if they release a public demo.. :D
Wonder if its gonna be the new Bullettime
Blood money had wonky shooting and dull hand to hand combat, but other than that it was perfect. I play it over and over.
Fix those, throw in better graphics and refineit and this is going to be out of the ball park.
Well the reason this mindset exists, is simple. Old-school gamers versus new-school gamers. In the first Hitman game, I played it and screamed at the difficulty of it all, but when I finished it I got a serious sense of accomplishment afterward. I was also quite young at the time, and I remember having to restart quite a lot.
This mindset is shared by a large number of people who grew up on 2D platformers and older games that gave you no help whatsoever and revolved around trial-and-error, and when they look at new games, they just think that such hand-holding just isn't needed, because gamers will figure it out eventually.
So basically "we never had it before, and we were fine. Why is it needed now?" is how people like me think. I've no problem with people needing help, I just have an issue with it in the game I'm playing. Selfish? Definitely, but that's how it is.
Plus, it just perpetuates the whole "games are getting easier" belief. I feel like there could be better ways to help the player if the Premonition skill isn't taken into account with the level design.
What you said about the potential of unpredictability is true, but I wonder if they thought of that? Or if they just thought they'd create a bridge mechanic for inexperienced players to use?
Looks awesome i need to try this
So doing all of this without the use of the instinct meter was what then? Seriously. This seems like they are trying to make the game that much simpler. I like it when games say "No. You have to play and find shit out on your own pansy"
more like hitman: absolutley ..ugh too I've been reading too many hankman posts
OT: ive played and beaten all 4 so im very excited for this one
They need to make it more smooth. Its either, use certain things at certain times like a puzzle , or, every fucking copper knows your a killer coming for the target. They need some time for screwups to a point. Replaying the game again and again until you get 100% assassin status isnt fun. They need you to make mistakes as you and unless a cop sees you screw up there shouldnt be an issue with you changing plans mid game.

Futurama: Bender's Big Score (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Welcomes the return of Bender Bending Rodriguez's shiny metal ass
A nudist alien species of Internet scammers steal Planet Express and put Bender the robot under their control. When it is discovered that the secret to time travel has been grafted to Fry's ass, the evil nudist order Bender repeatedly to the past to steal all the most valuable things in world history. Meanwhile, Leela the Cyclops finally finds her true love, much to the lovesick Fry's chagrin, and Hermes the bureaucrat literally loses his head.
Futurama was most likely my favourite prime time animated show. It was better than Fish Police, or good shows like Family Guy, maybe even great shows like Home Movies. I'd even risk it all and say that it rivalled The Simpsons at its peak. The series had plenty of laughs, original and well rounded characters, and more heart than an overweight and diabetic Diplodocus. There were even two episodes that brought honest to God tears to my eyes, both kinds—the happy kind and the sad kind (I bet fans could guess which two episodes I'm referring to). I was pretty depressed when the show was cancelled in its forth season, but was happy to buy the DVD collections, and watch countless reruns on Adult Swim.
So like Family Guy, Futurama's good rerun ratings and disc sales finally warranted a return in the form of a straight to video movie, and like the Family Guy and The Simpsons movies, Bender's Big Score is hit and miss. It doesn't quite capture the spirit of the original episodes, but overall it's a more satisfying concoction than those others. Just like the Family Guy Star Wars special and The Simpsons Movie, this one spends a little too much time referencing the better jokes from previous seasons, and doing their best to get cheers out of hard-core fans. The film is also sort of episodic, though not so obviously made up of three episodes as the Family Guy's feature length outing. Bender's Big Score's best plot elements actually reappear throughout the film.
However, after about thirty minutes of spinning its wheels with beheaded Hermes jokes the film picks up, and though it recycles themes from past episodes, the twists are fun, and the jokes move from broad slapstick to character driven. Let's not be prudes here, nudity, mutilation, cursing, bodily functions, and senile old people are all funny, but they don't make for classic humour anymore, and the series isn't my favourite because of its more sophomoric gags (I've got plenty of other favourite shows that fill that slot).
Around the beginning of the third act that old Futurama heart starts to bleed through, and after a few patented and touching musical montages, a familiar lump begins to rise in my throat. The most poignant moments arise from the feature's more inspired satire, specifically the second act introduction of a Terminator spoof, which rightfully points out the paradoxes of time travel, meaning the sillier plot elements aren't just throw-aways. And as if a satisfying finale curtain wasn't enough, the creators end the whole thing on a universe-shattering cliff-hanger, ensuring that we'll all be buying the next of these four feature-length adventures, despite the slow start.
Yay! Futurama in widescreen! Everything here is clean and clear, as should be expected from a recent animated feature with digital colouring and effects. Colours are bright and rich, with only minor compression noise to be found in some brighter reds. Lines are crisp without the overt edge enhancement that plagues some more poorly reproduced animated films on DVD. There are a few small cases of the jaggies throughout, but it's pretty hard to notice. The real issue in the screen caps seems to be compression noise, which I'm going to attribute to the fact that my screener copy didn't like being in my computer, because it looked fine on screen. Despite Fox's innate fear of piracy, my copy's watermarking was only occasional, and thankfully changed its location based on the onscreen action.
Yay! Futurama in Dolby Digital 5.1! Finally we can all experience the familiar music, voices, and sound effects of the world of tomorrow in discrete digital sound. After five years off the job all these amazing voice actors sound exactly the same and the score is familiar without being repetitive. The battle scenes towards the end of the film are almost worthy of Star Wars in audio aggression and spacious surround. The mix is never too busy, and the LFE track is impressive without overdoing it. There is nothing to realistically complain about sound-wise, though I wouldn't quite consider the disc worthy of demo status.
The fact that three more of these films are apparently on the way makes this disc's medium level extras a little easier to swallow. I'd prefer some kind of behind the scenes featurette with creator and actor interviews, or perhaps some live footage from this year's Comic-Con panel, but a solid commentary track, a comic book reading, some deleted storyboard scenes, and a few other scraps satisfy for the time being.
As a fan I've actually watched every single episode of the original series with the commentary track activated, and I've never been bored. The Futurama tracks rival even the Simpsons tracks for overall jam-packedness. This feature-length track—featuring producers, a director, and a load of cast members—does not disappoint. The only occasional problem with the track is that everyone involved gets a little too excited and start to overlap each other's thoughts. Still, it's good to have you guys back.
First following the commentary is a live comic book reading from a few members of the cast as taped at last year's San Diego Comic-Con. It might've been nice to have an alternate angle of the cast at the table reading, but the comic itself is an amusing little retell of the show's rocky history, as told through the eyes of its characters, and the audience laughter is infectious. The audio was a little faster than the video on my check disc, unfortunately, something that will hopefully be cleared up around the official release.
Next up is a full, twenty-two minute episode of Everyone Loves Hypnotoad. You read that right, twenty-two minutes of that toad with the swirling eyes accompanied by that familiar buzzing sound. There are even commercial breaks, a laugh track, and stereotypical sit-com establishing shots between 'scenes'. I thought it would get old, but it just didn't.
'A Terrifying Message from Al Gore' is a brief Youtube clip made to promote the release of An Inconvenient Truth last year. The animation's a little cut rate, but it's funny, and the accompanying video commentary is funny too) even though it's kind of silly to run a video commentary track for a one minute preview. Al Gore also features prominently in the feature film.
'Bite My Shiny Metal X' is a Futurama based math lecture with award winning professor Sarah Greenwald. Greenwald has been teaching math by way of Futurama and The Simpsons for apparently years now, and the shows creators decided it was time to return the favour. The featurette will dumbfound some fans, as it really is a math lecture, and contains few jokes, but even I, a math-illiterate was amused.
The deleted scenes are presented in rough, storyboard form, but have finished cast dialogue. There are three total, and all three have been obviously cut for timing reasons. The first is an elongated joke where 'Terminator' Bender challenges an aristocratic gambler in Monte Carlo, the second is an elongated cameo from the Robot Mafia, and the third is a Limbo challenge issued by Hermes to Barbados Slim. The Limbo contest is the only odd deletion because it's a joke I had assumed they were going to make the second Hermes' head was reattached backwards.
It all comes to an end with character sketches and digital effect wraparounds, including wire-frames, and the original five minute Comic-Con movie promo.
Bender's Big Score isn't the slam dunk we may have preferred as fans, but it out shines the recent Simpsons, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Family Guy feature length releases by a healthy margin, though it's still a few steps behind the South Park movie (which was actually better than the show). The disc's extras are kind of average, but entertaining, and the A/V quality is impressive. I am looking forward to the next three releases, but there doesn't seem to be a solid release date just yet.
And just in case you were thinking of not buying this disc, here's an old friend to change your mind for you:

Fierce People (US - DVD R1)
Gabe was really hoping for a sequel to Cannibal Holocaust, but this wasn't it...
A sixteen-year-old boy named Finn (Anton Yelchin) is about to escape New York to spend the summer in South America studying the Iskanani Indians, with his AWOL anthropologist father, when he's arrested picking up cocaine for his drug-addled mother Liz (Diane Lane). Liz takes this as a sign to pull her and her son's lives together and moves them into a guest house on the vast country estate of her ex-client, the aging aristocratic billionaire, Ogden C. Osbourne (Donald Sutherland). Once amalgamated into Osbourne's clan, things begin looking up for Finn and his mother, until a series of shocking events sends their world reeling.
Here I go again with yet another generally disliked and quickly forgotten indie film filled with quirk and mirth and more superstar actors then you can shake an Oscar at. I've learned not to blindly trust Donald Sutherland or Diane Lane, so in this case it was Fierce Creatures' director Griffin Dunne that piqued my interest. The last time I saw Dunne it was the '80s, and he was running away from the whole of New York City as an actor in Martin Scorsese's After Hours. Before that I enjoyed him as the wise cracking, rotting ghost in John Landis' An American Werewolf in London. I was generally curious about his directing prowess.
Fierce People boils down to another 'look at me' movie. 'Look at me, I'm wild and wacky, pushing buttons and breaking taboos from the 1960s'. 'Look at me, I'm tackling all the issues we aren't suppose to talk about in mixed company'. 'Look at me, I staring a kid who does things kids shouldn't be allowed to do'. The plot, which isn't entirely unoriginal but lacking in anything special, wonders listlessly without ever really making any sort of point. Laughs, gasps, and drama are wretched too forcefully, and Dunne doesn't really have the chops of someone like Wes Anderson, who can shift between emotions rather effortlessly, and with an original sense of visual flare. Dunne doesn't fail, but he doesn't rise above adequate, and Dirk Wittenborn's script (based on his novel) is far too bloated and self important for even a great director to overcome.
The actors do work for the most part, and not just because they're talented. Dunne, being an actor himself of course, knows how to direct actors, and this is his gift to the film. Our lead, a real fifteen year old named Anton Yelchin, is quite charming despite his smartass dialogue. Chris Evans continues his streak of solid performances in less then solid motion pictures, even though his character acts like a lesser Rules of Attraction reject. Lane and Sutherland are both fun to watch, but don't do much to push themselves, and despite the DVD cover are really secondary members of the cast anyway. None of these performances really matter though, it's still a hobbled script.
Nothing to flip out either way here with this anamorphically enhanced, 1.85:1 transfer, like the film it's profoundly adequate. Black levels could do with a bit of deepening, as they tend to absorb the tones around them a bit. Details are decent, though there is quite a bit of edge enhancement and moiré effects occasionally impact patters on walls and clothing. Grain and noise are both very minimal. Colours and contrast levels are a little on the flat side, but effective enough to get us by.
More adequacy all around, in every one of your 5.1 Dolby Digital channels. Fierce People doesn't have a lot of intricate sound design or audio fury to throw around. Dialogue is centred and clear, though accompanied by a shade of hiss when presented in an otherwise silent scene. Sound effects are very minimal, and only outdoor ambiance really bleeds into the rear speakers. The film's score is a little too soft rock for my taste, but it sounds nice and warm from all channels, and there's plenty of crisp bass that doesn't bleed.
Griffin Dunne's commentary track is pretty sombre and pretty dry, but it is fact filled and informative. Dunne talks lovingly about his co-conspirators, especially his young actors. One of the best things about the commentary is that Dunne addresses many of the critic's concerns with the film, and he takes the criticism very well. I (probably unfairly) expected more mirth out of the star of After Hours (who apparently more or less made Scorsese make the film), but his thoughts are still appreciated.
The fluffy fifty minute featurette is mostly made up of the actors, writer and director waxing a little too philosophical about the film. They dig way further into the characters then the script or film does, and too much focus is put on the secondary adult characters. This is followed by three, non-anamorphic deleted scenes. The first two are just slight trims that don't amount to more then a minute, but the second is actually a better ending then the one given to the film. In total these last about four minutes.
A dark turn at the end of the second act will probably make or break the film for most viewers, but I'm guessing most viewers will agree with my blah take on the experience. Fans of Dunne and the actors may want to give the film a rent, other folks interested in particularly dark takes of adolescence will do better with Igby Goes Down.

Similar to other staged shootings such as the Port Arthur massacre in Australia, the Dunblane massacre in the U.K., the Columbine shooting, and the recent Aurora, Colorado shooting...as more evidence and analysis of this "event" in Newtown, Connecticut emerges, it is becomming more clear that this was another government "black operation", carried out by the "powers that be" for the purpose of enacting restrictions/bans on the legal ownership of firearms, and the disarmament of the civilian population.
1. The Government and Media's story is that some 20-year old "autistic" boy planned and carried out this massacre, taking around 5 guns to the school, with a bulletproof vest and a face mask. Are we really to believe that an "autistic" ~100lb weakling kid pulled this off? Did he have the sophistication and capability to plan this out, and execute it with such precision? Apparantly, there were 26 dead and only 1 wounded, and around 200 rounds fired in around 3 minutes. How could Adam Lanza achieve such amazingly deadly accuracy, in such a short length of time? And what would be Lanza's motive?
2. The medical examiner asserts that all wounds were caused by a rifle or other long weapon, and police/FBI say that the school was littered with .223 (rifle) casings. But it is claimed that Adam Lanza was found dead in the school with only handguns and that a rifle was found in the trunk of his car. But then he could not possibly have been firing the rifle, and could not have committed the murders. Who did?
3. Many of the so-called "parents" of the dead children (as well as other "witnessess" and people involved) interviewed on television displayed odd characteristics, such as not crying (and no evidence of tears), smiling, laughing and joking, and appearing cold and as if reading from a script. The "smoking gun" is the "performance" of the man claiming to be "Robbie Parker", the "father of 6-year old victim Emilie Parker". Video of this man prior to coming on camera reveals him smiling, laughing, and "hyper-ventilating" in order to "get into charachter." It is obvious this man is acting and a fraud. Check out the video HERE (Must Watch!).
Another very suspicious "witness" is Gene Rosen. Check out this video (Must See).
4. The "official" story is that an AR-15 "assault rifle" was used in this "shooting" to "kill ALL of the victims." That is what the "medical examiner" stated as well. But according to an NBC News report aired on December 15, 2012, only handguns were used in the shooting (and NOT a rifle), and the AR-15 was left in the trunk of Lanza's car. Here is a link to the NBC news video reporting this.
5. The car claimed to be that used by the "shooter" Adam Lanza doesn't actually belong to Adam Lanza, or his mother. The audio from the police radio contains the vehicle registration request and reply, and shows that the car is actually registered to a man named Christopher Rodia, who has numerous previous drug and burglary charges.
6. Many of the facebook "memorials" and donations pages for alleged "victims" were actually created days and weeks PRIOR to the December 14, 2012 date of the "shooting." For example, the "RIP Facebook" page of "victim" "Victoria Soto" was created on December 10, 2012, four days before she allegedly "died." More on that HERE.
7. Why has the media and government been silent about the other possible shooting suspects? Helicopter video shows 3 men going into the woods outside of the school. On the police scanner/radio, the police describe two suspects outside the school, and one police officer yells, "they're coming at me through this wood". Eyewitnesses saw a man in a black jacket and camo pants was arrested and handcuffed outside the school.
8. The alleged "school nurse", a woman claiming to be "Sally Cox", doesn't show up as a nurse in the Connecticut database. Further, many of the "teachers" or "witnesses" paraded in the media do not show up on Facebook or other social media sites (at least with the names given in the media). This is evidence, when coorborated with all the other evidence, that the people shown in the media as "witnesses" were actors, using fake names.
9. Where is the hard evidence that this "shooting" and "mass murder" actually took place as alleged in the official story? Have we seen any crime scene photographs? Where is the security camera footage showing "Adam Lanza" or whomever perpetrating the shooting? Schools are absolutely covered with security cameras. Why were the parents prevented from seeing the "bodies of the children"? Has anyone actually seen the body of a dead child yet?
10. After 2009, it appears "Adam Lanza"' dropped off the face of the earth, as there is no paper trail of him, nor evidence of anyone who had any contact with him over the past three years. No record of employment, schooling, no friends or acquaintances, even the neighbors on his street weren't aware that he was supposedly living there. Did Adam die in 2009? Or, what about this....there is speculation that Nancy Lanza only had one son (not two), who was given the birth name "Adam Lanza", but Adam later legally changed his name to "Ryan Lanza". This is why "Ryan Lanza" was initially identified as the shooter, and apparantly Ryan Lanza was even arrested at Sandy Hook school the day of the "event."
11. The "mainstream" media aired footage of cops running into a building while covering the Sandy Hook "shooting" that was NOT shot at Sandy Hook Elementary School, but was actually shot at a "school shooting" DRILL conducted at another school nearby in Newtown Connecticutt. See this video. This is huge smoking gun evidence that the "Sandy Hook stooting" was a staged "event", pre-scripted and pre-planned by the media, using fake footage.
12. The CIA was at the scene of Sandy Hook immediately after the shooting, as reported in this article. What was the CIA doing there?
13. EMS services (ie, paramedics) did not operate according to their normal protocol in response to this "event." Normally, paramedics will take victims of gunshot wounds to the hospital even if the victim is not breathing and non-responsive, just to exhaust all options in the hope that the victim's life may be saved. In the case of this supposed Sandy Hook "massacre", however, this was not done. We are told that all of the victims were declared "dead at the scene." And aparantly the paramedics did not take ANY victims to nearby hospitals. This throws up another huge red flag, which calls into serious question the official story. Were there really any dead children in the school? And if so, why were not at least some of them taken to hospitals by EMS? Why were there virtually no surviving victims? Why are we told that basically everyone who was "shot by Adam Lanza" died on the scene? That is a very high (ie, impossible) "killing efficiency", unprecedented in these type of events. Also, Why was the school sealed off for so many hours without any bodies being removed? [This is discussed in this GLP thread]
14. There is evidence that this supposed "shooting" was actually nothing more than a "drill" (and now passed off as a "real" event). "Coincidently" there was an "active shooter drill" taking place at another school located very close in proximity to Sandy Hook Elementary on the morning of this supposed "shooting." See this article.
MUST WATCH! - "Robby Parker, father of 6-yo victim Emilie Parker" laughing, smiling, faking emotion - Actor?:
Description of above video of Robby Parker: Man claiming to be "Robby Parker" strolls up to the podium smiling and laughing. "We'll start" he says with a smile, "K." Then he takes several deep breaths, and begins to forcefully change his visual emotional state to one appearing "distressed" (as if "getting into character") and says "My name is Robby Parker."
"Sandy Hook Hoax Ultimate"
NBC News Reports on December 15, 2012 that "only handguns" were used in the shooting, and that the AR-15 was NOT!:
Multiple Shooters:
Helicopter Footage - Possible Second Shooter going into woods outside school:
Police Walked A Man In Camo Pants And Dark Jacket Out Of Woods:
Sandy Hook Shooting - Gun Control Hoax:
An interview with the alleged "school nurse", a woman claiming to be "Sally Cox", reveals inconsistencies in her story. Very little emotion, possible bad actor. Also, she apparantly doesn't show up as a nurse in the Connecticut database. Many of teachers/witnesses do not show up on Facebook or social media sites. Also, why is there no security camera footage from the school being provided showing what really happened?

Heard Around the West
Debbie Rivenburgh is the general manager of a bordello in Pahrump, Nev., 60 miles from Las Vegas -- one of 27 legal brothels in the state. In 21 years, she says, no college has ever called to request an intimate tour of her desert establishment. Then Randolph College in Virginia, a private liberal arts college, decided that the focus of this semester's course on "American Culture" would be the state of Nevada. After examining water rights and the wedding industry, the 12 students in the class decided to extend their study of prostitution by talking to the women themselves. Rivenbaugh said 99 percent of her working girls refused to participate in the seminar: "They worry about friends or family finding out. They know how others see them. It can be uncomfortable." Yet two prostitutes, Alexis, 38, and Alicia, who says she's "over 30," agreed to answer the students' questions in a filmed session. The women held court in the brothel's Victorian-themed parlor, usually the setting for the "lineup" for clients, reports The Associated Press. They talked about how they give companionship, time and "just the touch of a woman" to men, how they wear the pants in the family, and they noted that the Chicken Ranch still gives a military discount. Alicia, who's writing a book about her life, explained that working as a prostitute means she can take care of her mother and grandmother and also dabble in real estate. The downside? "Being confined, being cooped up. I have to be here 24 hours a day."
Backpacker magazine called the Everest-topping men from Nepal "climbing machines," an apt description. Apa Sherpa, 48, has summited Everest 17 times, while his nephew, Lhakpa Gelu, 40, who holds the record for scaling Everest faster than anyone alive -- 10 hours, 56 minutes -- has climbed Everest 13 times. For the last two years, though, both men have foregone the family climbing business for Salt Lake City, which they'd gotten to know by taking part in the city's Outdoor Retailer trade show. They decided to move to the American West for better schools and better health care for their children: "I want my children to choose their own future and not have to climb dangerous peaks if they don't want to," said Lhakpa Gelu. Yet adapting to life in Salt Lake has been no walk in the park. What's harrowing is the driving, said Apa Sherpa: "In Nepal, we walk wherever we like to go. But here, you cannot go anywhere without driving. I thought Himalayan climbing was dangerous, but driving is much worse." For Lhakpa Gelu, life is tough because he works two jobs -- running an injection-molding machine during the day and delivering pizzas in the evenings. He said he rarely has free time. And sounding a theme familiar to Americans, Apa Sherpa complained: Bills, bills, bills. "Once kids get through school, then I hope I don't have to work so hard."
Police pulled over a car on Washington's San Juan Island after radiation detectors found it to be suspiciously "hot," reports Northern California's Eco-News. But there were no bombs inside, merely a cat that had undergone radiation three days earlier for cancer.
A culture conflict of startling vehemence has broken out in Larimer County, which borders wealthy and super-health-conscious Boulder County. The issue is road etiquette, or more precisely the difficulty bicyclists and vehicle drivers have with sharing the road. According to the Boulder Daily Camera, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden got everybody going by seeming to mock cyclists who protested a remark made by one of his deputies. (The deputy allegedly warned a group of riders: "Don't let the sun set on your behind in my county.") In his Web column, "Bull's Eye," the sheriff joked about the cyclists' complaints, saying, "It must be the Spandex that causes people to lose their sense of humor." Judging by the scores of comments to the newspaper story, just about everybody's sense of humor has taken a hike. Wrote one cyclist, "The sheriff seems like a cocky redneck piece of trash." Commented a driver, "I see bicyclists as a menace to traffic and thus a menace to society." Rejoined a cyclist, the real menaces are "the fat overweight jerks driving their gas-guzzling pickups and SUVs," to which a driver fired back, "Ride single file, and for PR purposes, stop at stop signs, stop lights and wait your turn in traffic ... then maybe there won't be so many people that want to see you as a hood ornament." Riposted a cyclist, "Good luck fatties with your $100 fill-ups!" And these were some of the milder remarks. As a calmer commenter said, "It sounds like this entire town is Prozac-deficient." Meanwhile, Sheriff Alderden said the public backs his crackdown on bikers 2-1.

USA: Research - US carbonates: Why PepsiCo and Cadbury are fighting
It's easy to understand why Cadbury Schweppes is kicking up a fuss about PepsiCo's distribution agreements. Anything that gets in the way of Cadbury's carbonate sales in the US is a major blow to the company. US consumption of carbonates is far and away the highest of all the major markets, more than ten times higher than its nearest rival, Germany. On top of that, the US market is also expected to have the strongest growth rate over the next four years, topping 71 billion liters by 2005.

Paris, 03 Jun 2004
The Invitation to Tender documentation corresponding to the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme (6FP) has been released today. The objectives of this call include the development of EGNOS and Galileo applications.
The 17 activities are divided in 3 areas as follows:
- Area 1: User Segment
- Area 2: Mission definition and implementation
- Area 3: Innovation and international activities
This is the second call under management of the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU).
To support the development of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) and Galileo applications, the Navigation Applications and User Services Office of ESA is making available a number of tools and facilities to external projects. The tools are distributed between two sites:
- The Radio Navigation Laboratory, at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands
- The EGNOS Applications Specific Qualification Facility (ASQF) at the EGNOS Master Control Centre of Torrejon, near Madrid, Spain.
The Radio Navigation Laboratory is a test and simulation facility. It supports main ESA navigation projects; namely Galileo and EGNOS. It routinely monitors Signal-in-Space health and performance for satellite navigation systems such as GPS, GLONASS and EGNOS. It hosts a wide variety of hardware and software assets; most of them developed under ESA contracts. The use of those assets allows for the support of a detailed characterization of receivers to be used in actual applications.
The ASQF is a support facility developed under the EGNOS project with the objective of supporting the qualification of multi-modal applications. It is composed of a number of tools that together allow the acquisition of field trials data, the archiving of those data, comparison with reference user data and the carrying out of comprehensive performance assessments. The ASQF simulation capabilities also make it possible to predict performance and to compare the results of real data with the results of simulators. ASQF operation support is provided by AENA, the hosting entity of the facility.
Costs for using the facilities are limited to the manpower required to support the use of the tools. Those projects interested in using the facilities are invited to contact the Navigation Applications Office Helpdesk.

IT Management Slideshow: IT Hiring: CIOs Ready to Recruit in 2011
CIOs in the U.S. are feeling more optimistic about hiring prospects in Q1 2011, according to a quarterly hiring report from Robert Half Technology. The level of encouragement among CIOs with regard to increasing IT staff, in fact, is at its highest point in a year. Geographically speaking, tech execs in the East/North-Central part of the country as well as those in the West/South-Central region are expected to be the most active in hiring. The health-care industry remains a top sector for tech professionals who are seeking employment. The data appear to indicate that CIOs are feeling confident that the worst of the recession is over, and it's time to boost staffing to support the enterprise and the tech needs of their organizations. "CIOs are reinitiating previously deferred projects and are more willing to invest in augmenting their teams," says John Reed, executive director of Robert Half Technology, a top provider of IT professionals on a project and full-time basis. More than 1,400 CIOs took part in the survey, conducted via telephone interviews. Here are selected highlights:

Cairo, Nov 22 (IANS) Israel and Gaza militant groups have agreed to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr announced after the deal was brokered by Cairo.
According to the ceasefire agreement, the two sides will stop airstrikes and rocket attacks starting 9 p.m. Gaza time Wednesday (1900 GMT), Xinhua reported.
Appreciating the efforts made by the UN, the Arab League, Qatar and Turkey, Amr said Egypt was committed to its historical role in the Palestinian issue, and that his countryy believes in the necessity of a fair solution.
"Egypt calls the whole world to follow what has been achieved under the Egyptian mediation, to guarantee that both sides are committed to the agreement," he was quoted as saying.
Amr announced the ceasefire at a press conference with visiting US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after their meeting in Cairo.
Clinton arrived in Cairo Wednesday to hold meetings with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and other officials.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed that a ceasefire agreement has been reached with the Palestinian militant groups in Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken Tuesday with US President Barack Obama and assured him that Israel would "give the Egyptian ceasefire agreement a chance".
By accepting the truce offer, Israel is "giving a chance to stabilize the region before there is a need to execute excessive force", the prime minister's office said.
"Netanyahu has repeatedly said and stressed that Israel will take any step necessary to protect its citizens," it said.
The understandings related to the ceasefire agreement include:
1. Israel stops all aggressive actions on Gaza, from the sea, the ground and the air, including incursions and targeted killing of people.
2. Palestinian factions and armed wings stop all aggressive actions from the Gaza Strip on Israel, including rockets and attacks on the borderline between the Gaza Strip and Israel.
3. Opening crossing points and facilitating the movement of individuals and goods, and not restricting the movement of residents or targeting them near border areas. This should be implemented after 24 hours of the agreement becoming valid.
4. Each side would be committed not to carry unilateral action to violate these understandings. In case there are any observations, Egypt, as the sponsor of this agreement, shall be noted to follow up.

As soon as I saw this jacket, decided to make it through thick and thin:-) I mean it wanted too much fabric and it makes the outfit pretty expensive and so not very affordable for me. But I wasn't going to give up and found the way to make the jacket from 2 m instead of 2.5:-)
The result is very worthy, I'm still not sure why I liked the model but it is exactly what I expected to have. Very comfortable, universal, feminine, well-pairing with any skirts, trousers and dresses. Besides, made in this modification it easily will play the role of a light coat in spring.
I surely recommend it to everybody. Some more ideas for the sewing and wearing it are here
The jewelry was made by myself, too.

2009-12-23 / Columnists
Pets, Pets, Pets
by Joanne Anderson
The calamity behind this Christmas column started a month ago. Although the story has no Santas or reindeer, there are a host of Pug angels, none with visible wings, who sprang into action on behalf of 8 elderly dogs- 5 of them Pugs, 3 of them blind- all left behind aftertheir owners died. When a family member showed up at an animal hospital demanding they all be "put to sleep", the vet refused and instead took them in. He is Angel #1.Days before Thanksgiving, Dr. Bob Corona got an unexpected visit. A relative arrived with 8 filthy carriers. Inside were the 5 Pugs, 2 "Pooshes" (aka Poodle/Shih Tzus that were matted beyond canine recognition) and a Tibetan Spaniel. Thedogs ranging in age from 8 to 13 years must have been living (just barely) in these crates. She wanted the dogs euthanized because their caretakers were deceased and their house about to be foreclosed. It seems that the late owners had been clients at his All Pets Hospital long ago but Dr. Corona had not seen any of these dogs in years. He looked into their cloudy eyes and couldn't fulfillthe woman's request, so he had her sign the smelly crew over to him. First the oldsters needed to be housed, cleaned up and assessed. Vet clinics are busy with boarding pets over holidays. Space would be tight. If need be they could go to Babylon Shelter, but the small dog room there was full too. Plus the arrival of 8 needy seniors would be a real shelter burden, so the All Pets staff angels began shaving the messy dogs and determining which would be comfy together in big cages. They coaxed the frightened but sweet, sightless Pugs outside for walkies-possibly their first leash stroll ever while the "Pooshes" spent the holiday weekend at a groomer's home for finishing touches.
My Plan A was to write a Pets plea for homes right after Thanksgiving. That was before the call to the Boxer Angel- Gary Berg- a remarkable rescue person who is best friend to homeless Boxers, but also to other smooshed-face breeds. He is the "man behind the scenes" at Pug-Peke-Tzu Rescue, an umbrella affiliate of Boxer Angels Rescue (www.boxerangelsrescue.com), both part of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals. As director of intake, finance and transports for Boxer Angels, Gary pulls over 50 Boxers a year from NYC shelters besides saving LI waifs. Saturday he has 2 stray, emaciated Boxers leaving from Babylon Shelter. TheBlitzen Blizzard delayed their deliverance by a week.
Since Gary and his rescue network have helped countless Boxers, Bostons, Pugs, and Bulldogs that wind up in shelters or harm's way, the Corona Crowd would be in the best of hands. We called off any alert, but somehow word still reached Pug cyberspace and frantic calls started coming into All Pets. Once the chatter calmed, Gary arranged so Pug-Peke-Tzu Rescue and Curly Tail Pug Rescue could share care of the 5 Pugs. One of Dr. Corona's clients adopted "Jake Henry" the 10-year-old Tibetan Spaniel even before that national breed club responded.The fact that there were 3 blind dogs including the Pug, "Odie", blind and deaf, didn't deter Pug Rescue. I chuckled when Gary remarked that "Pug-Peke-Tzu was on a first name basis" with a well-known LI veterinary ophthalmologist. Pug-Peke-Tzu and other volunteer groups that handle breeds with protruding eyes are accustomed to dealing with (and paying for) dogs suffering from vision problems. Gary's partner, Tina Fancher, had offered to take Manley, the blind Boston Terrier profiledin Pets 10/29/09. Visually- handicapped dogs adapt easily when near experienced caretakers. Two bubbly Methuselah Pugs from the group-"Walter" and blind "Elliot" are fosters with the Bergs while "Odie" is happy in Hicksville. Tina will foster the "Pooshes" upstate, if necessary.
As Gary says: "Chances are the older the rescued dog, the worse shape he is in, the longer it will take to address health issues and to find the special person who will welcome such a senior", yet these 2 Pug Rescues via an intense application process have success finding such caring souls. While waiting for forever placement, the Pugs are in doting foster homes. It's a win/win situation for the once neglected dogs.Taking on 8 seniors at once could empty the coffersof any rescue. However, Dr. Corona kindly provided initial medical care- vaccines, heartworm tests, spay/neuters, a mammary tumor removal, and a costly hernia operation. Curly Tail Pug Rescue of NY/MA (www.curlytailpugrescue.org) took the two 8-year-old "babies" once Dr. Corona altered them and extracted teeth. Thegroup's founder Drea Peters while detailing the litany of medical woes now under control writes: "Our 2 are doing well….they are relearning how to be regular Pugs." Overweight "Betty's" breathing difficulties are slowly starting to improve; skittish "Morgan" seems to be learning to accept human affection.
Smooshed-face breeds have heavenly helpers. It costs a fortune to keep these networks running. All 3 rescues helping the Corona Crowd rely on donations, foster homes and adopters. Each has a website and Petfinderlisting. Please Google them to become their secret Santa."Elliot", "Walter" and his siblings will never know they have guardian angels, or that the best thing that could ever have happened to them was that the lady chose to ask Dr. Corona to "put them down". He lovingly started them on the road to recovery. Now the Pug Rescues will take them the rest of the way. Merry Christmas!
For Adoption at Babylon Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: The dogs, especially the lingering Pit mixes, and cats would love a memorable Christmas nestled in a home. "Roxy" is a brindle Pit/Lab in Cage 25, at the shelter since March. She is fine with other dogs and seems indifferent to cats. Knows SIT and DOWN. "Sky" in Cage 26 is a larger American Bulldog pup, fun-loving and full of energy. Theshelter will be closed Christmas Eve & Day but will re-open on Sat. Dec. 26th. Females: "Nelly" Cage 34- brindle Whippet type; "Ginger" docile Pit Cage 39.Males: "Teddy" Chihuahua/Pom in the Puppy Room; another "Teddy" Retriever Cage 6; "Nicholas" Shep mix Cage 5; Hound mix Cage 8; Mini Schnauzer in Puppy Room.

ok i went out and bought gta v this morning from my local supermarket. i had to try a few times for the game to install. it kept freezing on the female cop scene and wouldnt go any further. after switching off n on again it finally installed the game. played the game fine up to the point where i had to go for a ride with chop the dog in the van. got to the yellow destination point and it froze on me. had to use ps button to quit the game. i tried loading the game again and it would allways freeze while the game was loading save data. i unistalled all gta v data and re-installed. playing again i got as far as grabbing the cash from the safe at the beggining of the game but when it came to the point where you open the shutters nothing would make them open?? if i didnt have a shaved head i would be pulling my hair out. pls help me.
I think I've figured out the solution, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE BLIMP! If you have already you must trade in your game for a new one. Delete everything from the old one and make plenty of free space for the new one, complete steps 4 and 3 in that order for formatting, and install the new game. I did this and my game ran perfectly until I downloaded the BLIMP again, stupid. Now the game won't load anymore. Now I have to go and exchange my game for a 3rd time, and I will not be downloading THE BLIMP! Someone is making a lot money causing a lot of consoles to even crash altogether. Not so good for Rockstar with people asking for their money back.
I seemed to have found a solution. As well mine has been freezing up for they last few days and has gotten progressively worse. This morning the game would freeze before it even finished loaded. However, I deleted alot of my older game installs and freed up alot of space. The game seems to be running smoothly. For now atleast. Let me know if this works with anyone else

G7364, Revised July 2011
Scorpions make up a small order of arthropods closely related to spiders. They have eight legs, a combined head and thorax called a cephalothorax, and a segmented abdomen. At the front of their bodies is a pair of large pincer-like appendages, which they use for catching prey. Their abdomens are segmented with an elongated tail ending in a stinger, usually carried curved up and over the body.
Several species of scorpions are found in the United States, with most inhabiting drier habitats in the South and Southwest. The only naturally occurring species in Missouri is the striped scorpion, Centruroides vittatus (Figure 1). Adult striped scorpions are 2.5 inches long, yellowish tan with two broad, darkened longitudinal bands on the top of the abdomen. The female produces living young, which she carries on her back for five to 15 days until they leave and become independent. After three to four years, the young reach maturity and may live two to five years as adults.
Scorpions hide during the day and are active at night. Although usually found in drier habitats, they require moisture and may be attracted to moist areas. They tend to live under boards, stones or other objects; or beneath loose bark on trees and logs. They generally do not like extremely high temperatures and, during the summer, may enter the living areas of a home seeking relief from heat and dryness. When they come indoors, they are most often found in crawl spaces and attics.
Scorpions can survive well in terrariums and make interesting pets. They feed on spiders and soft-bodied insects. Small prey may be eaten immediately; larger prey are stung and then eaten after they stop moving.
Figure 1. Striped scorpion (Centruroides vittatus.)
All scorpions have venom glands located in the bulbous last segment of the abdomen, which also bears a stinger. Scorpions rarely sting humans except when pinned against the skin. The sting of the striped scorpion usually results in pain, swelling and redness at the sting site, which lasts for a few hours and has been described as similar to a bee or wasp sting. A sting does not usually require medical attention. Some species of scorpions, found only in southern Arizona and Mexico, have been responsible for human deaths.
To make the area around the house less hospitable to scorpions and block their entrance into the house, take the following control measures:
To kill scorpions that have already invaded the home, treat attics, wall voids and crawl spaces with over-the-counter indoor pesticides. Placing dust formulations inside void spaces and spraying liquids into cracks and crevices where scorpions hide are more effective control measures than general surface spraying.
