The new Leica V-Lux 3 with its 24× super-telephoto zoom makes capturing sweeping landscapes just as easy as bringing even the smallest details into the foreground. Thanks to its newly developed 12.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor, the camera captures images in exceptional quality. The Leica V-Lux 3 captures full-HD video in AVCHD format with 1920 × 1080 pixels and 60 full frames per second. An integrated stereo microphone with a wind-noise filter ensures outstanding audio quality. The Leica D-Lux 5 is manufactured by Panasonic in Japan and is identical to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 launched in August.
The Leica DC Vario-Elmarit’s 1:2.8-5.2/4.5-108 mm ASPH lens has an enormous range of focal lengths covering the spectrum from a 25 mm wide angle to a 600 mm super-telephoto lens. On the one hand, its 25 mm wide angle setting enables photographers to strongly emphasise perspectives, while on the other hand, its 600 mm telephoto setting captures pin-sharp details of objects even at extremely long distances – even when shooting handheld, thanks to the efficiency of its Power OIS image stabiliser.
The V-Lux 3 delivers consecutive burst shooting at a rate of up to 12 frames per second, even at full resolution; at a reduced resolution of 3.5 megapixels it manages a fantastic 60 frames per second. Users will capture every action and important moment, even when shooting sports or wildlife. The V-Lux 3 bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements will be available in January 2012 for approximately $950.

Valerie highlighted women’s rights in Afghanistan by attending a campaign event led by ActionAid UK, Amnesty International UK, CARE UK, GAPS, Womankind Worldwide and Women for Women Internationalin Parliament.
“This is an important campaign which I am very pleased to support. Many of my constituents have written to me on this topic and I have written to the Foreign Secretary to highlight this issue. The human rights of women and girls in Afghanistan should be at the centre of peace negotiations. “
18,000 campaigners petitioned the UK government to support Afghan women’s rights, with more than 8,000 handmade kites being designed by campaigners from around the country to symbolise their support for women’s rights in Afghanistan. This was raised at the international conference on Afghanistan in Bonn, Germany, on the 5th of December 2011.
Campaigners are using the kite symbol because in Afghanistan women and girls make kites but are effectively prevented from flying them.

Our snorkeling time on Koh Lipe has come to an end, and we’ll dry out for a couple of days before resuming our observance of undersea life off Koh Lanta. In between, we will feast on delicious Thai-Chinese food and arise before dawn to visit a waterfowl preserve where we’ll test our photography skills.
We will be taking a break from snorkeling for three days, and then resuming from our new island base on Koh Lanta. In the meantime, we’ll feast on Chinese-Thai cuisine, do a little early morning birding, and take a little time to relax. Or update our blogs. ;-)
Our last morning on Koh Lipe involved another run through the buffet (ho hum) and then a chaotic transfer by longtail boat to the ferry pier. Pier is generous: a too-small rectangular area composed of air-filled plastic blocks has two speedboats tied up to it at a time, and several longtail “taxis” attempting to unload passengers and bags from all directions. No one seems to be in charge, but the captains of the ferries give orders and reprimands. Tourists approach one another for a clue, but we who cannot speak Thai are all confused.
Krabi (February 3, 2010)
We left the comforts of the Maritime and headed South for the final leg of our snorkel journey. Our first stop was for a lunch-like breakfast of noodles and fried chicken. When we arrived at Nua Klong, we outnumbered the available pieces of chicken, so a new order went into the fryer. Hot and deliciously crispy, the secret to this recipe, besides palm oil in the fryer and a dusting of rice flour on the chicken, is the type of lean, strong, free range chickens in this region. As we worked on our chicken, bowls of noodles in a pale green sauce began to arrive. These thin rice noodles, known as khanom jin, are made with a slightly fermented rice flour dough and traditionally served in a light coconut milk curry with ground fish. The noodles here are made on the premises, and have a nice texture; also the sauce is very tasty.
Koh Lipe (Tuesday, February 7, 2006)
Plans to try for another sunrise had to be scuttled when I overslept my alarm by 40 minutes. Perhaps the noise of the ceiling fan drowned it out, or my subconscious chose additional sleep. After a quick cold shower and a sprint of packing, I arrived in the dining room to a filling breakfast of rice porridge with a few chunks of fish, slivers of ginger, toasted garlic, and optional crushed chillies. Mmmm, seconds please.
Trang (Friday, January 28, 2005)
We checked out of our hotel in Trang and headed up the road for dim sum. The first spot, which apparently is the best place in town, did not have enough available tables for our party of 14, so we headed to a second. Our plates included a delicious roasted pork, as much fat and crispy skin as meat; steamed fish with ginger; siu mai pork dumplings (I’ve had better in California); fish cakes; fried bread (Chinese doughnuts); sticky rice steamed or grilled in some kind of leaves; sticky rice stuffed with pork; crab claws in a pork meatball in bitter melon; crab claws in a mixture of crab and shrimp meat; black mushrooms in a brown sauce; steamed pork buns; and, last but perhaps best, steamed buns filled with a bean paste-coconut custard blend. And, for once, all the tea I could drink. We were extremely full but we stopped just up the road at Kook Ming, the bakery that originated Trang cakes. After mulling the many choices in the gift shop, people settled on various favorites, and we sampled the “three flavor” cake. It wasn’t my favorite: it was more of a three-color-not-that-much-flavor cake to me, but I was still scheming a way to get a dozen of those bean paste buns for the island.
Koh Life (Wednesday, January 26, 2005)
Before leaving Koh Lipe, we had one last breakfast. Most of us had anticipated our first taste of “genuine” Pad Thai (without ketchup), and we had it before taking our longtail “taxi” to our big boat back to the Pak Bara Pier. Once on land, of course we ate again, having a lunch of prepared curries (I tried the goat curry, which was tasty but the meat seemed not to have been trimmed very well of gristle and hide), soups (I tried the beef, whose richness was tempered by cilantro and lime), noodle soups or fried rice. Then, quite quickly, we were on the road again. After a strong dose of Benadryl for itching, I napped in the van until we reached our hotel in Trang.

I'm an administrator over several users on a Server2003 (MS XP). The PC's all use WindowsXP Pro SP2.
The problem I'm having is that many of my users are unable to complete their training through a website that uses flash to teach the material. The flash "navigation" bar is suppose to be displayed at the bottom of the screen the whole time so users can advance to the next chapter and so forth. This navigation bar is not there! (but the training plays just fine.)
Question: What is disabling this navigation bar from displaying within this flash video and how do I resolve it?
What I know:
1. The problem does not exist on all the PC's, but most of them.
2. The problem only exist when a user uses SmartCard authentication to log into their domain account. (if logged in as a local administrator account on the box, the training works properly.)
3. Using a different browser does not resolve the problem. We have tried IE6 and IE7.
My theory is that some kind of "policy" is in effect once the user authenticates with the server that is blocking features of flash-player... Can anyone think of anything?!

So far Domino's has made repairs in four towns in California, Delaware, Texas and Georgia with their "Paving For Pizza" campaign.
Domino's marketing campaign, Paving for Pizza, has had the company hiring work crews to fix five potholes in Burbank, California, eight in Bartonville, Texas, 40 in Milford, Delaware, and 150 holes in Athens, Georgia.
Russell Weiner, president of Domino's United States of America, weighed in in a Monday news release: "Have you ever hit a pothole and instantly cringed?"
Why? To reduce pizza "pizza jostling" and "irreversible damage to your pizza on the ride home", the company says.
Help save more pizzas!More news: Kylie Jenner removes all photos of daughter Stormi's face from Instagram
The pizza company is now doing its part to ensure tasty pies don't get ruined as they travel from Domino's restaurants nationwide to their final destination.
Domino's announced it had already worked to fix roads in Burbank, Calif.; Bartonville, Texas; Milford, Del.; and Athens, Ga. It brands the fixed potholes with a Domino's logo and the tagline "Oh yes we did". For its latest move to get your pizza dollar, however, Dominos has something slightly more ambitious in mind, namely public infrastructure projects.
For the next 12 weeks, Domino's is inviting customers to nominate their local area for a grant on pavingforpizza.com.
Who ultimately gets the money depends on what the ZIP code covers and whether it's a municipality or county doing the road work. That includes $2 trillion for roads alone.
People can nominate their town and Domino's will work with the local government bodies on the repairs.

Ford Expedition Review - How Good Is It?
Ford debuted Expedition 2022 internationally on September 21, 2021. The Ford Expedition has gone through three generations and is now in its fourth.
This Ford Expedition review will go through the car's price and specifications features and compare it with its competitors.
Ford Expedition Review: Exterior
Ford Expedition is a large, powerful, and bold American car body that measures 5334 x 2372 x 1946 mm in length, breadth, and height. The Ford Expedition crosses between the Ford F-150 pickup truck and the Ford Explorer seven-seat SUV.
The front end exudes the class of a luxury SUV specializing in serving owners with high requirements for safety. The grille has a trapezoidal structure extending to the sides with numerous chained details like the Explorer but with a smaller size.
The most impressive is the rectangular chrome border that cuts across both the grille and the headlights, the bold design of the Ford F-150.
The front light cluster has a two-story structure, including LED headlights with a square design that exudes a strong look. The fog lights below are also LEDs that provide an effective light range.
Ford Expedition Review: Interior
Ford Expedition interior has a wheelbase of 3112 mm. Therefore, the legroom on the Ford Expedition is very comfortable, including the 3rd row. The roof is also integrated with the Panoramic Vista Roof panoramic sunroof, making the cabin space more spacious.
Exploring the cockpit, you will be hard-pressed to distinguish between the Expedition and the Ford F-150 pickup because the design is almost identical.
Ford Expedition Review: Technology & Safety Features
Ford Expedition is equipped with 2-zone automatic air conditioning, accompanied by an air filter to keep the cabin cool and fresh. Driving the Expedition becomes very easy when the car is integrated with 40 features and driver assistance technologies.
For entertainment, it is equipped with SYNC 3 . voice control system, a wifi connection that allows connecting up to 10 devices simultaneously, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, 6 USB ports, B&O sound system that includes 12 speakers.
Ford Expedition Review: Platform & Chassis
Ford has enhanced the Expedition platform by making it all out of aluminum. The car is lifted off the ground using independent suspension systems.
The whole front utilizes short- and long-arm coil-over dampers with stability rods, while the back uses a multilink system with stabilizer bars on both sides to boost rigidity.
The SUV is outfitted with four disc brakes all around that are contained in 508 mm aluminum-alloy tires.
The Ford Expedition's chassis is based on the Ford F-150 pickup truck, with a body built of light aluminum alloy that helps reduce weight by 136kg over the previous generation while also improving body rigidity.
Ford Expedition Review: Engine & Drivetrain
Ford Expedition 2022 continues to use Ecoboost V6, a 3.5-liter engine producing a maximum capacity of 375 horsepower and maximum torque of 637 Nm for the standard version.
The Ford Expedition Timberline version produces a maximum capacity of 440 horsepower and maximum torque of 692 Nm.
>>> Suggested for you: Cars reviews
The Ford Expedition 2022 is the 4th generation's mid-life update, with numerous advancements and slightly increased engine power.
With the information from this Ford Expedition Review on Phil Car Price, we believe you have made up your mind firmly about your next car purchase!


Uber Technologies Inc. agreed to buy 24,000 sport utility vehicles from Sweden’s Volvo Cars to form a fleet of driverless autos.
The XC90s, priced from $46,900 at U.S. dealers, will be delivered between 2019 and 2021 in the first commercial purchase by a ride-hailing provider, Volvo said in a statement Monday. San Francisco-based Uber will add its own sensors and software to permit pilot-less driving.
Uber’s order steps up efforts to replace human drivers, the biggest cost in its on-demand taxi service. The company has agreed to use 100 XC90s for self-driving tests in Pittsburgh, while also striking a deal to include autonomous vehicles from Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz in its network at some point.
“This new agreement puts us on a path toward mass-produced, self-driving vehicles at scale,” Jeff Miller, Uber’s head of auto alliances, told Bloomberg News. “The more people working on the problem, we’ll get there faster and with better, safer, more reliable systems.”
For carmakers, news of Uber buying vehicles at a commercial level means potential new sales, but also looming disruption to a business model that sees autos largely sold to private owners. Uber’s $70 billion valuation already puts the group almost on a par with Germany’s Daimler.
The deal will boost sales at Volvo and should also help lower the cost of the Chinese-controlled group’s own fully-autonomous cars planned from 2021. Volvo engineers have been working closely with Uber to develop a base vehicle with core driverless technology that the ride-hailing company can then augment. Volvo plans to use those cars for its own future offering.
“The automotive industry is being disrupted by technology and Volvo Cars chooses to be an active part of that disruption,” Chief Executive Officer Hakan Samuelsson said. “It’s a new market that’s emerging and we’re the first to be delivering into that segment.”
New research indicates that criminals are increasingly exploiting the growth of ‘fake news’ for commercial gain. The growth of so-called fake news has traditionally been associated with the political sphere and executed for ideological purposes.
However, research conducted by analysts at Digital Shadows reveals the growth of toolkits and services – available for just $7 – that are aimed specifically at causing financial and reputational damage for companies.
In particular, Digital Shadows has noticed a recent trend towards the growth on the dark web of so-called ‘Pump and Dump’ services. These are designed to work by gradually purchasing major shares in altcoin (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) and drumming up interest in the coin through posts on social media.
The tool then trades these coins between its multiple accounts, driving the price up, before selling these to unsuspecting traders on currency exchanges looking to buy while share prices are still rising. An analysis of the bitcoin wallet of one such popular service noted that it received the equivalent of $326,000 from wanabee criminals in less than two months.
Similarly, Digital Shadows identified over ten services that allow user to download software, which controls the activities of social media bots. One offers users downloadable software for a trial period of just $7. Others tools claim to promote content across over hundreds of thousands of platforms, including forums, blogs and bulletin boards. These work by controlling large numbers of bots; armies of computers that the individuals control and can configure the bots to post on specific types of forums on different topics. Overall, mentions of these sites across criminal forums can give an indication of their popularity – these have increased 300% in just two years from 418 in 2015 to 1381 in 2017 so far.
The battle against fake news could be getting even more difficult with advertisements for toolkits increasingly claiming to include built in features that bypass captcha methods, which were initially brought in to prevent bots and automated scripts from posting advertisements indiscriminately across these platforms.
Unsurprisingly, media organisations are a particular target of purveyors of fake news. Digital Shadows analysed the top 40 global news websites and checked over 85,000 possible variations on their domain. In doing so, it discovered some 2,858 live spoof domains. Simply by altering characters on a domain (e.g. a “m” may have changed to an “rn”) and by using cloning services it is possible to create a fake website of a legitimate news organisation that looks realistic.
Retailers too are a target. One managed service offers ‘Amazon ranking, reviews, votes, listing optimization and selling promotions’ with pricing ranging from $5 for an unverified review, $10 for a verified review, to a $500 monthly retainer.
“The sheer availability of tools means that barriers to entry are lower than ever. It means this now extends beyond geopolitical to financial interests that affect businesses and consumers”, said Rick Holland, VP Strategy, Digital Shadows. “Of course, rumours, misinformation and fake news have always been part of human society. But what has changed in the digital world is the speed such techniques spread around the world, and the fact tools are freely available on the dark and surface web to enable those wanting to carry out these sorts of campaigns to do so with easy and by locating and using the services and tools they need online.”
Digital Shadows has issued the following advice for firms looking to combat disinformation:
Soon after Zimbabwe’s army confined President Robert Mugabe to his palatial Harare home this week – allegedly for his safety – it was announced in Luanda that Angola’s new President, João Lourenço, had relieved Isabel dos Santos of her position as head of the state-run oil company Sonangol.
While there may not be any direct connection between these two events, they suggest some intriguing comparisons. In both countries ruling families seem to have failed to secure themselves in power.
When Mugabe, as leader of the Zimbabwean African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF), became ruler of Zimbabwe at independence in April 1980, José Eduardo dos Santos was already President of Angola. He had succeeded to that position after the death of Agostinho Neto in September 1979.
Dos Santos had to deal with external intervention and over two decades of civil war , during which he ruled dictatorially. Mugabe, despite a facade of constitutionalism and regular elections, also became increasingly dictatorial. He abandoned adherence to the rule of law and his country’s economy collapsed. Angola became notorious for the scale of the corruption linked especially to its oil riches. Zimbabwe went from bread-basket to basket-case. With the great majority of the people of both countries living in dire poverty, Dos Santos flew to Europe when he needed medical attention, while Mugabe went to Singapore.
Though Dos Santos was probably as reluctant as Mugabe to give up power, he decided to quit as president of the country and try to retain influence through the ruling party and members of his family. Mugabe tried to impose his wife on his party as his chosen successor and then to cling on to his positions even when the army took effective control of his country.
Given recent developments in Luanda and Harare, it would seem that neither of these two old men have succeeded in securing their family dynasties.
Dos Santos’s succession plan
By 2016, suffering health problems that took him to Spain for treatment, Dos Santos announced that he would step down as president of Angola and he approved his Minister of Defence, João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço as his successor.
Following the victory of the ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in the general election held in August this year, Lourenço took over as president in September. But Dos Santos remained president of the MPLA, and clearly expected Lourenço to look after his interests and that of his family, who had become enormously wealthy.
From the action Lourenço has now taken against Dos Santos’ billionaire daughter Isabel, it would seem that he’s becoming his own man. It appears he wishes to distance himself from the Dos Santos family, which for many Angolans is associated with corruption on a vast scale.
The London-educated Isabel has proved herself to be a very capable businesswoman, and though the Angolan economy has been suffering because of low oil-prices, on top of massive corruption, it’s unlikely she was sacked to bring in a better chief executive to run the country’s most important state owned company. There is talk in Luanda that Isabel’s brother, José Filomeno dos Santos, will be relieved of his position as head of the country’s large Sovereign Wealth Fund and that his father, the former president of the country, will be replaced as president of the ruling party, though that may have to wait until a party congress is held.
Mugabe’s succession plan
Though at the time of writing, the 93-year-old Mugabe remains president both of the country and of the ruling Zanu-PF party, it’s widely expected that he will soon be relieved of both positions, probably by Mnangagwa, with the assistance of the army.
Changes for the better?
New leadership in Angola and Zimbabwe will have an impact on the region as a whole.
Given Mnangagwa’s record as a long serving member of government in Zimbabwe, and his involvement in the mass killing of Ndebele in the early 1980s, it is hardly likely that he will emerge as a champion of democracy.
In Angola, Lourenço is still finding his feet as head of government.
It is therefore unrealistic to hope that either country will soon move from decades of repressive rule and lack of transparency to greater constitutionalism and closer adherence to the rule of law.
But if we are witnessing the end of an era in which dictators stayed in power for decades and tried to secure their continuing influence through their families, and if we are seeing the diminishing importance of liberation movements turned political party, this must be good not only for Angola and Zimbabwe but for the southern African region as a whole.
It should also hold lessons for those who rule in neighbouring countries.

From JEAN KASSONGO in Kinshasa, DRC
KINSHASA, (CAJ News) – THE living conditions in the conflict-torn Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo has deteriorated dramatically with more than 400 schools destroyed and over 200 health centres devastated.
This exacerbates a situation already made unbearable by the serious human rights violations and abuses perpetrated in the Kasais by different parties to the conflict.
The terror has been against 282 victims, including 113 women and 68 children.
The conflict in the Kasai started in August 2016 following the death of the traditional chief, Kamuina Nsapu, during an attack between his militia and the Congolese security forces. It has grown exponentially.
In the aftermath of the attack, the conflict which started in Dibaya territory of the Kasai Central Province, now affects five provinces in the Kasai region namely – Kasai, Kasai Central, Kasai Oriental, Lomami and Sankuru provinces.
The United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs Coordination (OCHA) has reported that 2,44 million people are affected. Hunger is also worsening.
“Education and medical care have practically become non-existent in large areas of the Kasaï region and living conditions have deteriorated dramatically,” said a spokesperson.
Recently, at the one-year anniversary of the death of Nsapu, the Congolese Armed Forced declared 90 percent of the Grand Kasai region was under its control.
However, the situation remains volatile. Thousands have fled to neighbouring countries.

Star Wars: The Old Republic just yet, this weekend is your next chance. With the Rakghoul Plague racing across the galaxy, BioWare is inviting potential new players to take a look at the game from April 19th at 1:01 a.m. EDT until April 23rd at 3:00 a.m. EDT. As in previous weekend events, players will be able to pick up their trial characters and continue leveling them in the event that they purchase the full game afterward.
Of course, if you're already in the game, you're probably less concerned about new players and more concerned with the aforementioned plague. Darth Hater has assembled a guide for players including the latest updates to this ongoing world event running until April 24th, which should be more than enough to help players unlock rewards and see all there is to see during the outbreak. Just be prepared -- there are probably going to be a lot of new people over the weekend not fully versed in containment procedures.

Discuss all things tuning in this section. News, products, problems and results.
Is MTBT always the same regardless of AFR? Example, can you set timing and say change out an intake and listen for knock but not redo timing on a dyno? Just adjust the AFR?
In short, no. The MTBT depends on the engines design and VE plays a big part of this, if you change an intake you're changing the VE of the engine and therefore the MTBT point. If your engine isn't knock limited you could end up over/undershooting your MTBT point and sacrificing power so your adjustments should really be done on a load bearing dyno to find your MTBT again. You also won't be able to hear knock if you're not knock limited since you are able to reach MTBT.
I agree with Chris - Any time your changing engine components that affect the engine's VE, the optimal timing can also be affected. If the part your changing has a minimal effect on VE then it's quite likely that the timing won't need to be changed as there is a plateau around MBT where you don't really see much change in torque as you vary the timing. If you're seeing a significant change in VE however, you may need to spend some more time on the ignition table.

The proposed project is a maintenance project to dredge accumulated mud and sediment in a 3,000-ft long by 40-ft wide (bottom width) trench along the length of the intake channel. The proposed project depth to negative six feet mean lower low water (MLLW)^1 with a two-ft overdredge is most similar to a previous maintenance dredge event in 1968, and would excavate ~ 41,600 cubic yards (cy) of sediment (which includes a 25% buffer) from the pump station intake channel. Figure 3 outlines the dredge limits from 1968 and 1987 along with the limits for the proposed project. On September 20, 2010 the Dredge Material Management Office (DMMO) advised that 26,000 cubic yards of sediment (which includes a 25% buffer) be disposed of in open water (SF-9) and that 15,600 cubic yards (which includes a 25% buffer) be disposed of at an approved upland location.

So here’s how I’m going to start this thing off, everyone: I died in my first battle of the game. I went into it fairly confident, as I had just created my level one team of adventurers and rolled their stats to my liking. There was my stout and trustworthy warrior, the fleet-footed thief, the benevolent healer, and the mage with a whopping four hit points. It seemed to be a pretty well-rounded group. I could tank, pick locks, recover, and shoot Impetus Ardens out of my wand (for the sake of clarity, let’s just assume those are fireballs). I had an answer to everything. Well… maybe not everything. Within my first three steps, I got ambushed by a group of six goblins and had my keister kicked right back to the main menu faster than you can say “I just started this game seven minutes ago.” It wasn’t because I didn’t understand the battle mechanics. It wasn’t because I was distracted by the television. It wasn’t my fault at all. It was because The Dark Spire is what nightmares are made of.
As a throwback RPG, The Dark Spire is a game with little to offer in terms of innovation. What we’ve got here is a title that does everything in its power to take you back to the good old days of RPGs when dungeon crawling and aimless wandering were what the genre was known for. Many before me have cited Wizardry as a game to compare this to, but I’m not here to mimic that, as I’ve neither played nor researched it. I’m just a guy who’s never been one to shy away from a challenge. Though admittedly, The Dark Spire nearly made me forget that.
When you’re not battling, you’ll either be exploring, battling some more, or dying. That’s the gist of what this game is all about. If you’re looking for an epic, story/character-centric tale filled with complex emotions and sub plots involving nonsensical twists and turns, then keep on walking. TDS has a very bare-bones story, one that will diminish into little more than an afterthought whilst you do the three things listed above (two if you skip the middle one and go straight to the latter). As a group of amateur adventurers, you’ve been called upon by the King of Kayanaaya to venture into the Dark Spire, a seven-floor tower located deep within the Forest of Mist. Awaiting you at the top is Tyrhung, his recently appointed archmage who has fled from society upon stealing the Queen’s royal treasure, the Fairy’s Tears. With the King promising fame and fortune to those who defeat the hermitic sorcerer and retrieve the stolen valuables, you and your band of beast bait begin your ascent.
That’s basically all you’re going to get. As you make the climb, mysteries of the tower will be introduced and characters will come and go, but at its core, TDS is one large fetch quest. It’s kind of a bummer, but you’ll be quick to forgive and forget. After all, it’s not the destination that matters; it’s the journey. And my, what a masochistic journey it is!
Everything is set into motion once you acquaint yourself with the patrons of the adventurer’s guild and create your four man party. In traditional, old-school fashion, stats are randomly rolled for your characters. The rolling mechanic also makes its appearance during level ups, though as players will quickly realize, hit points are the only basic stat that seems to be affected. This is because nearly all changes to a character’s stats are completely unobservable to the player. Leveling up, while obviously vital to your progression, never really seems to do much. Not numerically, anyway.
Similarly, changes from new equipment will be hidden as well; there will never be any sort of number indication as to whether your new helmet is better than your last. Players are forced into reading item descriptions and deciding for themselves if something sounds useful or not. Sometimes it might be, sometimes it won’t be, sometimes it will even prevent you from casting spells; it’s all a guessing game. The hindrance, while crippling at first, became less and less noticeable as I played the game, but I can easily see why it might turn off many a gamer. Even I can admit that it’s pretty insane.
The seven floor trek to the tower’s top is a long and arduous one. Grueling, even. With TDS being a traditional dungeon crawler in the truest sense, one can expect a labyrinth of hallways and rooms with traps, puzzles and all sorts of nasty creatures awaiting them at every possible turn. And these aren’t monsters that can be bested with a few flicks from your broadsword. No, no. It’ll take a healthy dose of patience and resource management to best these baddies. The creatures of the Dark Spire are definitely ones to fear, as they can and will decimate you at any given point in the game, be it your first or final encounter.
While the difficulty surely takes some getting used to, the gameplay itself is actually quite simple. Combat more or less revolves around the four options traditional RPGs normally utilize: Attack, Defend, Spells, and Items. Players select the actions of their four party members and watch as they play out amongst the opposition, with the order dependant on everyone’s dexterity. Depending on the player’s preferences, physical attacks and spells can be modified with additional effects. The Lunge Attack option, for instance, reduces one’s accuracy and skyrockets their attack power, while Cast Carefully slowly fires off a spell, but increases precision.
Things start to get tricky once you begin relying upon spells, which, if you’re smart, is basically the second you walk into the tower. Classes that can use magic are limited to a specific number of casts for their spells that increases as they level up, with the maximum amount capped off at nine. What this means is that no matter how godly your characters are, they will only be able to cast nine spells in a particular group (nine groups in total) before they becomes dead wait. The aforementioned resource management mostly applies to this, and it becomes increasingly important to ration yourself the higher up you travel. It’s not until much later that you get a spell that can instantly warp you back to town, so many of your excursions will unfortunately be two-way trips. To put it bluntly, you can plan ahead or die. The choice is yours.
Exploration takes place from the first-person perspective, so all you’re going to see is wall after wall after wall with the occasional door thrown in there to spice things up. But even then, everything looks exactly the same. Luckily, there’s a map that constructs itself step-by-step as you make your way deeper into the tower. The only problem is that you, the adventurer, aren’t displayed on it, so unless you’ve got a spot-on internal compass (or a handy spell from your mage), chances are that you’re going to get lost every so often. I don’t care how adept you are at navigation, there will definitely be a few times where the general lack of direction will lead to frustration, even if it’s only for a few seconds.
And just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, the monsters will swarm in and mess it all up. Tell me reader: Can you multitask? Can you maneuver your way through mazes and stay alive, all the while maintaining a calm demeanor? If the answer is no, then you’re going to have one heck of a time with TDS because juggling these aspects is an oh so painful necessity that can quickly begin grating away at your psyche, regardless of how immune to impatience you are.
Oh yes, and then there are the tower’s obstacles. The Dark Spire is loaded with traps and layouts that are out to make your life absolutely miserable. At one moment things can be peachy, then all of a sudden, a hidden warp panel on the floor can zip you off to an unknown location. Once you’re there, you might take another step and activate a harmful pitfall trap, or perhaps you’ll enter a hallway that is completely pitch black. Some doors might blindside you with a blast of noxious gas that poisons the entire party while others force you into enemy encounters. Treasure chests that drop post-encounter can also be rigged with traps, forcing you to pick them apart in order to get at the goods inside. If your thief botches, it could very well mean instant death for your entire party. It’s one thing to get killed by a monster, but the degradation of being torn asunder by a wooden box is simply unrivaled!
In terms of sheer difficulty and ridiculousness, however, it’s the puzzles that will undoubtedly bring a twitch to your eye. Some of these puppies were so vast, obscure and completely obtuse that I began to wonder if I could possibly surpass them without the aid of a guide. Every item you find needs to be kept. Every wall of every square of every map needs to be examined. And surely, every option needs to be thoroughly explored.
It was during some of these puzzle sequences that I began to realize TDS’s lone, nearly-fatal flaw: Its lack of direction. The intricacies presented here are unlike anything I’ve really experienced in past games, and while I admire the deviancy, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was lost the entire adventure. A part of me digs that. The Dark Spire is supposed to be this overwhelming place with endless corridors and confusion aplenty, and Success captured that exceptionally. The other part of me wanted to punch holes in my drywall after I had been stumped for the umpteenth time. I was clueless when it came to most of the puzzles, I had trouble finding the dungeon’s hidden doors (the dozens upon dozens of hidden doors!), and I couldn’t even single-handedly uncover the secondary character classes that, for me, were necessary to completing the game. I have no doubt in my mind that there’s an audience for this stuff, but for those seated elsewhere, the challenge will probably be a bit off-putting.
One final thing you might be relieved to hear is that despite all these hardships, there is a lifeline thrown your way to make everything a bit less burdensome: The save-anywhere feature. Yes, you can save wherever you like. Had it not been for this, I honestly don’t think I would have made it to the credit screen. The fact that I was dying every other battle made it an absolute imperative, and by the end of the game, I relied upon it just as much as my healer. But believe me, when you’re basically blackmailed into saving battle after battle, it’s not a godsend. It’s called an annoyance.
But enough about the gameplay. For me, some of the more interesting aspects of the game were the visual and audio departments. Normally, I’d cut these areas into two different sections, but this game does something that ties them closely together that I find absolutely fascinating. TDS has a total of two presentation styles that players can shuffle between on the fly in the forms of Modern and Classic Mode. The former sports detailed, colored graphics and orchestral tunes. The stylized art and dank, deathly colors look quite nice, with each of the seven floors donning a different look and sound to keep your climb varied (I couldn’t get enough of the carnival-themed area, complete with freak show attraction!). In short, by using this option, you’ll be playing an average DS game with average DS technology.
But upon switching to Classic Mode, the game pulls a time warp on you and sucks the quality right out of everything. Field graphics become completely wire-framed, menus are nothing but text and lines, monsters shrink into low resolution models, and the music and sound effects are reduced to midi renditions. Suddenly, you’re right back in the 8-bit era where everything looks and sounds like hell. It’s pretty awesome. Actually, scratch that. It’s all sorts of awesome! The music especially (bloop, bleep, bloop, blip!) sounds, in a word, spectacular.
My only complaint? We can’t blend the modes together and harmonize the new-age art style with the senile-tastic beats. That definitely would have helped straighten my frowny face (you know, from all the dying). Still, I can’t help but appreciate the concept, one of the game’s distinguishing features. I can’t say as though I’ve seen something like this done before, and it just reeks of nostalgic undertones and inventiveness.
Have you ever been so amazing at something – the best at a sport, the valedictorian – then all of a sudden be one-upped by someone who was leagues better than you? In a way, The Dark Spire was that someone for me. I’ve played tough games before, but this was something I really wasn’t expecting. I was blindsided, and in a way, feel defeated due to my inability to handle it at times. With that said, if you take one thing from this review, let it be this: The Dark Spire is not for everyone. I know that’s a pretty clichéd blanket statement that you might see thrown around a lot, but I really do think it’s the best way to describe it. The sparse story is not for everyone. The simplistic battle system is not for everyone. The difficulty? Definitely not for everyone. But regardless, at the end of the journey, after the countless deaths and billions of bruisings, the stat rolling and puzzle solving, you will undoubtedly feel accomplished.

Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino calls for peace and calm
"On this sad occasion, I express my condolences to his parents, son and daughters, relatives and friends, and his supporters around the country," said Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino referring to President Hugo Chávez's death
Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, the Archbishop of Caracas, who is in Rome to attend the conclave to elect a new pope at the Vatican, on Tuesday prayed to God for the eternal repose of the soul of President of Venezuela Hugo Chávez, who died Tuesday at 4:25 pm.
"On this sad occasion, I express my condolences to his parents, son and daughters, relatives and friends, and his supporters around the country," said Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino in a phone call to news channel Globovisión.
He called for peace and calm. Cardinal Urosa urged Venezuelans to reject violence and hoped that wisdom and harmony will prevail in the country in the coming days.
At first she agreed that I use her real name, that she had no problems with that at all. After all, living with HIV had driven her to help others – as a workshop facilitator giving talks and conducting seminars, or as a volunteer for local AIDS Service Organizations like Acción Solidaria (Solidary Action) and Mujeres Unidas por la Salud (Women United for Health, or Musa), a support group network for HIV-positive women. But when we were well into the interview, the realization that she might lose her private health insurance coverage made her change her mind.

Shares of crop nutrients maker Agrium (AGU) are down $2.69, or 3%, at $81.87 despite a rather bullish report this morning from Dahlman Rose & Co. analyst Charles Neivert, who raised his estimates for next year above consensus.
Agrium, you’ll recall, announced Q3 results on November 3rd that were below expectations, but forecast the current quarter above analysts’ projections.
An earlier U.S. harvest and stronger margins for growers are expected to lead to increased nutrient demand, and tight inventory for nutrient products should improve prices for Agrium, writes Neivert.
Neivert increased his Q4 EPS estimate to $1.18, about in line with Agrium’s forecast of $1 to $1.30 per share, and above the consensus $1.13.
Neivert also hiked his 2011 estimate to $7.02 from $5.81, which is above the consensus $6.75.
All that said, he maintains a “Hold” rating on Agrium given that he views the stock as fairly valued at 12 times that 2011 estimate, even though that’s well below the 18 multiple for the group as a whole.

The archbishops stayed with Archbishop Nakamura at his residence, which is part of the Catholic Center. This morning, they celebrated Mass, and we joined them later for a formal meeting about the idea of joining our four dioceses in an alliance or partnership. The discussions were fruitful and will continue tomorrow.
After, we began a tour of several Catholic sites in a city steeped in Christianity, starting with “Nyokodo,” the home of Dr. Nagai Takashi, a doctor who wrote more than a dozen books about peace and love after he was bedridden from Leukemia desperate to spread his messages to humanity. He survived the A-bomb, but his wife did not. He wrote:
“She was the kind of woman who would come to confirm my survival as long as life remained in her body…Three days later, I returned to the site of my house. It was an expanse of ashes, but I found her immediately. A black lump lay where the kitchen had been, the charred remains of a pelvis and spine left by the all-consuming fire. A rosary with a cross was lying nearby.”
Luckily his children were off in the countryside when the bomb dropped and were spared. When Dr. Nagai became bedridden, his friends built him a very small house where he lived with his children until he died at age 43 in 1951. His words of peace and other life lessons appeared in his books and echoed around the world, attracting attention from people like Helen Keller and Pope Pius XII.
After, we stopped at the Peace Park, built on the site of a former prison and down the road from the cenotaph (where the bomb was dropped.) The park was to be the site of a major peace celebration that was cancelled due to the impending typhoon. The centerpiece of this park is a large peace statue pointing to the side to signify “No more war” and pointing to the sky to signify “No more atomic bombs.” We walked around the cenotaph and paused for prayer.
Our next stop was the Atomic Bomb Museum, which shares the story of the A-bomb in Nagasaki. Images of corpses and injured people were difficult to take in – but very effective in demonstrating the horror of such a weapon. Quotes from children begging for their missing families were stirring and solidified our resolve to continue to work for a world without nuclear weapons.
Our last stop was the Twenty-Six Martyrs Hill, where 26 Christians were martyred for preaching about Christianity in 1597. Their crucifixion on the hill was meant to warn others, but in reality, it did the opposite and helped spread Christianity underground until it was accepted centuries later. The museum houses several artifacts, documents, and displays about Christianity in Japan over the last few centuries. Together we gathered in the room with relics of the martyrs to pray our Novena for Peace.
The evening closed with the “Memorial Ceremony for the Victims of the Atomic Bomb” at the Catholic Center to mark the 51st anniversary of this annual event honoring the lives of those impacted by the A-bomb. Shinto, Buddhists, Christians, and other religions joined to share condolences, renounce nuclear weapons, and express the desire for peace. The beautiful event featured music, a youth procession, traditional dance, a flower ceremony, and speeches from dignitaries and religious leaders, including Archbishop Etienne, who expressed his gratitude and a desire to work together saying,
“Together in solidarity, we will strive ever more diligently to abolish all nuclear weapons. In doing so, we must wean ourselves from nuclear deterrence and develop a new concept of global security that also addresses the climate crisis. Mindful of our need for assistance, let us pray: O God of universal peace, bless us with creativity, faithfulness, and a sense of urgency in our unwavering efforts to abolish nuclear weapons. Amen.”

If you thought Natalie Dormer could gut her opponents with a glance on Game of Thrones, the actor will leave you impressively chilled in the new version of Picnic at Hanging Rock. Launching on May 25, Amazon’s six-part limited series based on Joan Lindsay’s 1967 novel set in 1900 Australia is a lush, often haunting, immensely satisfying and sometimes tormenting endeavor. But as I say in my video review above, even with a crafty and strong cast, this feast from showrunner Larysa Kondracki and writers Beatrix Christian and Alice Addison finds Dormer clearly sitting on this corseted saga’s Iron Throne.
This Picnic draws from the same source material as Weir’s seminal 1975 film: the fallout of the Valentine’s Day 1900 disappearance and presumed death of three students and a teacher from the Appleyard College girls school. But it also brings Lindsay’s mystery to life in its own distinct manner. For one thing, PAHR 2018 puts the realities women faced in the late Victorian period at its core, while also interpreting the tale in a tone and temperament updated for the 21st century that forcibly resonates.
With defiance, sharp elbows and dismissives, Dormer’s headmistress Hester Appleyard is running from something and towards an unknown as the disappearances begin to unravel the taunt string that holds everything together for her. If Dormer’s royally scheming Margaery Tyrell over several seasons of GoT was her calling card to the big leagues, this performance is a full-blown star turn for the ever-expanding House of Bezos.
So, if you are planning a Memorial Day weekend binge, take a look at my video review of Picnic At Hanging Rock for more of why I think the series should be on the menu.

As the trade war escalates, one thing that could make a difference for Tesla (TSLA) is its Gigafactory 3 in China. On August 23, China declared tariffs on $75 billion in US goods, including cars. China is planning to resume 25% import duties on US cars and 5% duties on auto parts on December 15. This news came as a blow to US car companies.
On August 23, Tesla, General Motors (GM), and Ford (F) fell 4.8%, 3.2%, and 3.0%, respectively. Furthermore, the companies were already weathering weakening car demand in China, a key market for these automakers. Ford and GM produce most of the vehicles they sell in China locally.
Tesla, a casualty of the trade war
Tesla, on the other hand, currently imports all the cars it sells in China from the US. Therefore, higher duties hit Tesla harder than others. The company has previously indicated it would raise car prices in China due to the weakening yuan. While the hikes were initially set for September, they’re now slated for this week. The price hikes have nothing to do with China’s planned tariffs. Bloomberg also reports that Tesla might again have to hike car prices if China’s tariffs come into effect on December 15.
Tesla’s China Gigafactory construction
One thing that might be going in Tesla’s favor is its in-construction Gigafactory in Shanghai, China. The plant, set to produce Model 3s and Model Ys, could help Tesla avoid much of the tariffs. As US-China trade tensions don’t seem likely to end anytime soon, it’s imperative for Tesla to complete the facility on schedule. Electrek explains that while vehicles made in the Chinese factory will be subject to 15% most-favored-nation tariffs, they will be considerably lower than the tariffs on imported cars from the US.
Lower production costs for Tesla cars in China
Moreover, the prices of China-made cars will be lower than those made in the US. Last year, Tesla said it was “operating at a 55% to 60% cost disadvantage compared to the exact same car locally produced in China.” Long-term Tesla bull Ron Baron has also explained that Tesla is “building for 70% less than it would cost for the same cars to build in the United States.” Lower production costs in China would support Tesla’s margins significantly and push the company toward sustainable, long-term profitability.
Progress at Gigafactory 3
Construction at the factory site started in January. Teslas expects the factory to begin producing Model 3s by the end of this year, and increase to full capacity by 2020.
On August 19, the company received a comprehensive acceptance certificate from the government of China. Interestingly, Tesla got the license within just three days of applying. The Chinese government has been very supportive of Tesla’s efforts to build a factory in the country.
Bloomberg also reported on August 23 that Tesla had agreed to buy batteries from LG Chem (LGCLF). Tesla plans to use the batteries in Model 3 cars manufactured in its China Gigafactory.
Leaked images show trial runs at Tesla’s China Gigafactory
According to Teslarati, leaked images and videos show Tesla is conducting trial production runs of its China-made Model 3. Tesla is also deploying robots and installing manufacturing equipment at the facility.
Teslarati previously reported that Tesla global vice president Grace Tao said Gigafactory 3 is almost complete. It reported that some sources expect the factory to be operational as soon as late September.
Impressive build-out time for China Gigafactory
The pace of construction for Tesla’s Gigafactory 3 has been impressive. Going from groundbreaking to trial assemblies in just eight months, the ramp-up has outpaced most analysts’ estimates. If Tesla can conduct the rest of the construction and production at the same pace, CEO Elon Musk might actually be correct about a schedule—a rare event.
Production ramp-up could give Tesla its edge back
Gigafactory 3 could help Tesla avoid some hefty tariffs and trade war uncertainties and regain its edge as US sales stall. Although auto demand in China is weak due to lower domestic demand and trade tensions, Tesla is a favorite electric vehicle brand in China. If Tesla cars are available to Chinese consumers at significantly lower prices, sales could surprise most analysts. As reported by Teslarati, ZoZo Go CEO Michael Dunne thinks Gigafactory 3’s presence would make a major difference for Tesla.
Critics and Tesla bears have long dismissed the potential that Gigafactory 3 holds for Tesla. However, if Tesla can stick to its schedules, it may be viewed more favorably on Wall Street.

August 2021 Elul 5781
We are entering the new moon of the Hebrew month of Elul, the time to assess how we have navigated the waves and rapids of the past challenging year before we enter the New Year next month. As we come to the hard realization that life will not return to its previous form and rhythm, we question how we have lived an authentic life in the midst of the chaos and turmoil around us. Have we stayed true to that inner core of our being that defines our essential self despite the unexpected shifts required of us to negotiate new ways of living, working, praying?
The piercing cry of the shofar that we blow each morning during the month of Elul awakens me to the eternal nature of my being. Standing on the rocky shore of the lake with the wide expanse of water and sky in front of me, the primordial sound of the shofar vibrates through my body. It transports me both back in time and forward into a possible future where the dualities that are pulling me and all of us apart in this now moment merge into a newly inspired whole.
My hope is that we can heed the lessons we have learned from the experience of this past year to guide us forward. When I smell the smoke of the Oregon fires and see the haze that darkens the morning sky and turns the rising sun bright orange here in Michigan, I know we cannot continue to disregard the earth’s warning. When I read that the fourth Capitol police officer who tried to guard the center of our democracy during the January insurrection committed suicide, my heart aches as I sense how traumatic and destructive the denials and untruths have become.
The questions I sit with as we welcome this new month: How can we live together on this sacred planet earth without tearing each other apart? How can we bring the dualities together into a more harmonious whole, release blame and animosity, and come to a place of deep compassion for each other? Our tradition tells us that It is through forgiveness, the hallmark of this month, that we can transform the negative, divisive energy so prevalent in our political world into a healing balm, uniting the seeming opposites into a new whole.
It is through adversity and challenge that consciousness evolves. This is a global moment where we have all witnessed the devastating effects of disease, ecological disaster, and violent disagreement. This is a pivotal moment that can bring the peoples of the globe together in a new understanding of how to move forward in peace and harmony.
May we each individually add our voice to a new path forward with love in our hearts that can heal the wounds and brokenness of this past year. May we return to our connection with the holy spark of the Divine within ourselves and see the face of the Divine in each other. May we move into the New Year forgiving past transgressions and finding new ways to live and love and appreciate each other and this earth that sustains our every breath.


After two years, a rocky launch and 26 free updates later, DICE and EA have finally concluded Star Wars: Battlefront 2's epic gaming comeback.
In a community transmission released yesterday, Battlefront 2 community manager Dennis Bränvall revealed that today's Battle of Scarif update would be the game's last. This follows the departure of community manager Ben Walke, who is now working with DICE on another project widely expected to be Battlefield 6.
News of the Scarif update being Battlefront's last has come as something of a surprise to the game's community, but it's important to put things into perspective. By reacting to community feedback and integrating vital fixes and changes, DICE transformed Battlefront 2 from one of the generation's most controversial releases into a genuinely great Star Wars game. Two-and-a-half years isn't bad going at all.
The update itself brings all sorts of exciting changes to the title, including long-requested skins for Darth Maul, Emperor Palpatine and Rey. It's a hefty content drop, even if the longing for further updates will inevitably stick around for some time to come. Many had expected DICE to return to the Clone Wars upon the conclusion of the animated series' seventh season, which is set to end within the next few weeks.
It does feel somewhat out of the blue, and while DICE and EA have echoed each other by saying their "vision" for Battlefront 2 has now been completed, news of Battlefield V also receiving its final update has led to speculation that EA have shifted the entire studio to development on Battlefield 6, which is set to release sometime late in 2021 and be developed for the next generation of consoles.
In a statement issued to IGN, EA confirmed that "longer term, [DICE] is focused on the future of Battlefield that we’ll be bringing to players in 2021."
As for Battlefront 3, the future is less clear. EA's Star Wars deal is said to conclude in 2023, and Respawn's Jedi: Fallen Order is the only Star Wars game confirmed to be in development.
Are you sad about Star Wars: Battlefront 2 coming to an end, or have EA made the right decision to focus on Battlefield 6? Let us know in the comments below!

Opportunity for virtual public comment will be available, and written comments can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.org. Information regarding how to participate will be available on the docket webpage https://boco.org/LU-22-0016


In a joint statement with Fox News on Tuesday, NBC and union representatives said they had “reached a consensus resolution.”
“NBC Entertainment appreciates the important concerns raised by the Gabriel Union and is committed to ensuring an inclusive and supportive work environment that treats all backgrounds with respect,” the statement read.
The union’s allegations first hit the AGD in November, When Variety Dropped a blast report, claiming the union had been expelled as a judge from the tournament after raising concerns about the toxic workplace.
The 47-year-old star has been the subject of various racial criticisms, including hints of her many hairstyle changes, which were considered “too black” for “AGD’s” key figures – a critical union that has received more than half a dozen times.
She was not interested in what some would say was the comedian’s racially insensitive comedy J Leno When he was the guest judge.
During the filming of an intermediate section, Leno joked about a painting Simon Cowell Surrounded by dogs. Leno joked that dogs can find anything on the menu of a Korean restaurant – much of the liveliness of “very few Asian staff” on the show.
The comment was later edited from the August 6 episode.
The union urged producers to report the incident to NBC’s HR department – but his request fell on deaf ears.
The report also cited an episode in which the union accused a white rival of impersonating celebrities and people of color through rapid costume changes. The contestant impersonated Beyonc And emerged with black hands.
An internal investigation into the show is said to have never been fully completed, but no indication of formal racism was found. However, changes have been made here in the process of reporting to human resources.
The report was co-authored by Fox News’ Julius Young and Jessica Napoli

FeEdiKo presents, for our delight and edification, a remix of the Unreal Tournament "Domination" map DOM-Wolfsbay, with a massively realistic hovercraft speeding across the bay in the moonlight, propelling fans whirling, radar dish rotating, cabin lights blazing, navigation lights flaring. The distant lighthouse flashes, the craft's wake streams out behind...
Fee gave me a couple of "sneak previews" of this arena, and you can see them on the www.Nerfarena.com "Screenshots 1" page. This means that I am hardly unbiased here, but I think this is a really nice map, and that he has done an excellent job on the textures. Not an easy job, as you can tell from the two textures files you have to download! The work on the flares is very nice, and the detailing in the cockpit, and elsewhere, is exceptional. One minor thing is that one of the two ways into the engine room, from the rear, is only open to the shorter NAB avatars; Todd can get in, but Hope can't, even crouching or flying. Speaking as a dedicated Todd, I think that is a definite plus point! The whirling fans at the back are splendid; try to jump through them and you vanish, leaving only a points- lozenge behind (I shudder to think what the effect is in "UT"!), and stand too close behind them and you are blown off the craft into the sea, for a rather quick end... That rotating radar dish on top of the cockpit is good, too, as you can jump onto it, and have the land/seascape whirl past at a dizzying speed, as you rotate.
And it plays well, with plenty of ramps, the interior in various rooms and corridors, and the outside of the craft too with its various gradients. I don't think there are any great secrets, the megapower on its case can easily be jumped down upon for instance, but for a really good-looking, atmospheric and different map that is ideal to play in for two or more players, you need look no further.
