|This post was selected for Blog Adda's Spicy Sat Picks
The Vatican is the smallest country in the world, spread across just 0.2 square miles and surrounded by Rome. Having read a couple of Dan Brown novels, I was exposed to every marvel the smallest country had to offer. Home of the Pope, the most powerful Bishop in the world, home to St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world, owner of renowned iconic art and architecture and the spiritual center of the world had me interested and before I knew it, it rose to the top of my 'wishlist destinations'.
The kingdom of the then-Italy thought Rome would make an awesome capital for their country and set out to occupy the Papal States.
The Pope hid inside the Basilica, refusing to come out and refusing to acknowledge the presence of Italy leading to self-imprisonment. The king of Italy, not wanting to give rise to religious war, decided to wait him out. Popes kept changing but they never moved out of the Vatican for almost 60 years.
Now comes in Mussolini. Ring any bell? Social studies in school? Nothing ? Never mind.
So Benito Mussolini was the prime minister and he was fed up of the religious turmoil caused by the Popes complaining about the self-imprisonment caused due to Italy. So he decided to make a deal, with the Pope, to score some brownie political points.
1. Italy gave the land of Vatican to the Pope
2. And Italy also gave them a bunch of apology money
In return, the Pope
1.Acknowledges that Italy existed (I don't know why his acknowledgement was such a big deal!)
2. And Pope remains neutral politically and in times of war (All this was after World War 1.)
That's how a deal was signed and a new country, the Vatican city was born.
Hold on! Its about to get more weird.
The throne of the Pope is called the 'Holy See' and is treated as a 'company' or a legal corporate person in the International Law. For example, the United Nations has the Holy See as the member and not the Vatican City, the actual country itself !
The presence of the king makes Vatican City the last of absolute monarchies in the world, including the Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Swaziland.
And because the Pope is elected, and the King and the Pope are different roles but same persons, it makes Vatican City the world's only Elected, Non-hereditary and absolute Monarchy!
"The strangest consequence of the way Vatican is, is the citizens. While other countries are minting new citizens by the natural way of human reproduction, Vatican City does not."
No one in the Vatican City is a born citizen. Because there are no female Vaticans! The only way you can become a citizen is if the King appoints you as one. And the King will only appoint you as the citizen if you work for the Pope who is also the King!
So if you quit your job, you will lose the citizenship!
It is for this reason that Vatican City doesn't have a permanent population. There are roughly around 500 odd citizens at any point of time. And all of them would be working for the Pope as either Cardinals, or bodyguards or other church related jobs.
There, that's the story of the Vatican. The next time you see Pope John Paul 15 waving at you, you know what to say!
PS : Please help me get better. Was this informative? Interesting? Something that you would like to read and know? Boring? Why-would-I-read-this-when-I-have-Wiki? Flawed?
Say it out I say!

Zoom With Your Feet or Zoom With Your Lens: Which is Better?
"Zoom with your feet" is a common phrase uttered by many photographers, myself included.
It's used to argue that though prime lenses (those with a fixed focal length like 50mm, 85mm, and so on) can't zoom, that you can still get a similar effect as a zoom lens by physically moving nearer or further away from a subject.
The problem is this: zooming with your feet and zooming with your lens don't produce the same results.
In other words, if you take two photos of the same subject, one that's zoomed in with a zoom lens and another that's zoomed in by zooming with your feet, there will be a noticeable difference in how the images look.
The question is, what are the differences in these results, and which method is better?
Jay P. Morgan of The Slanted Lens offers up a nice tutorial on this subject in the video above.
Have a look at the video, and for a detailed explanation of the topics he raises in the video, check the outline below!
Zooming With a Lens
YouTube Screenshot/The Slanted Lens
One of the best advantages of shooting with a zoom lens is its versatility - in a single lens you can cover a variety of focal lengths and replace two, three, perhaps even four prime lenses with a single zoom.
In the screenshot above, you can see how Jay P. Morgan was able to take four photos at four different focal lengths, all with the same lens.
That fact alone is enough to draw people into the world of zoom lens ownership.
But something else that's useful is that when you utilize a zoom lens, no matter what focal length you're using, the relationship between the foreground and background remains the same.
YouTube Screenshot/The Slanted Lens
Looking at the screenshot above, you can see this concept in action.
Notice how that even though the background got larger with each successive change in the focal length in the first screenshot, that the relationship between the man and the background remains the same in the second screenshot.
That's because with a zoom lens, you're just cropping the image with each change to a longer and longer focal length, and as a result, the visual relationship of the foreground and background are consistent from one shot to the next.
In other words, if you want a consistent look from frame to frame, use a zoom lens.

Zooming With Your Feet
YouTube Screenshot/The Slanted Lens
The advantage of zooming with your feet is that you can change the perspective of the foreground to background.
That is, if you want the background elements to be larger or smaller, you have to move your feet to get that effect.
When using this technique, it's important to keep your subject the same size in the frame, though.
That means that when you're using a shorter focal length, you need to move closer to the subject, which makes him stay the same size, but the background appears further away, as seen in the screenshot above.
YouTube Screenshot/The Slanted Lens
Conversely, as you move further back from the subject and use a longer focal length lens, again, you can keep him the same size in the shot, but the background appears to come in.
Note the difference in the appearance of the background from the first screenshot and the one immediately above.
It's quite a difference, isn't it?
YouTube Screenshot/The Slanted Lens
In this screenshot, you can see even more of a difference between the three focal lengths that were used.
But also notice the difference in the distance from the camera to the subject - as the focal length decreases, so too does the distance to the subject.
This is an important detail to remember because if there's something in the background that you want to eliminate, you need to move further back from the subject and use a longer focal length lens to draw the background closer.
On the other hand, if you want there to be the appearance that the background is much further away, zoom with your feet, get closer to the subject, and use a wider focal length lens.
Of course, this concept also works by moving your subject, too!

Wrapping It Up
So, there you have it.
A quick and easy explanation of what "zooming with your feet" actually means and the difference between that and zooming with your lens.
Remember - if you want to maintain consistency from frame to frame, use a zoom lens.
However, if you want to change how your subject looks relative to the background, zoom with your feet and change your focal length.
Time to put this trick into action - good luck!

More than 200 members of Saudi Arabia's elite, including 11 princes, are now being detained at what is quite literally a gilded prison: the Ritz-Carlton hotel in the capital, Riyadh.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is widely seen as the muscle behind the recent anti-corruption purge as he consolidates power in a way Saudi Arabia hasn't seen in decades.
In a new report, the BBC reporter Lyse Doucet and camera operator Philip Goodwin described the atmosphere at the luxury hotel as "very serious."
Doucet and Goodwin, the first journalists allowed into the hotel since the purge, were under police escort and held to strict rules not to film anyone's face or quote anyone by name.
Here's a glimpse of what life in what Doucet called a "five-star prison" is like for its inhabitants.
Lyse Doucet and Philip Goodwin were the first journalists allowed into the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton since it the Saudi government started using it to detain officials and others detained in an anti-corruption purge earlier this month.
Since November 4, no one has been allowed into the Ritz-Carlton without official permission.
Among the "guests" now are more than 200 people accused of abuse of power, corruption, and money laundering. The Saudi government is also putting up hundreds of experts to process the cases 24/7.
Though the reporters were allowed in only during the dead of night, they saw small groups of men speaking in hushed voices. The mood was very serious and very somber, the reporters said.
There are reportedly 1,900 Saudi bank accounts totaling $US800 billion frozen in the kingdom. "Even if we get 100 billion back, that would be good," an official told Doucet.
Officials said 4% of the accused say they will take their cases to court, but 95% are willing to make a deal, which would most likely result in large sums of money exchanged for freedom.
The hotel was mostly empty. "I'm spending most of my time in my room with my lawyer focusing on my case," one detainee told Doucet.
Here's what the hotel looks like from the outside.
President Donald Trump stayed at the Ritz-Carlton during his trip to Saudi Arabia earlier this year — and the kingdom put his face on the side of the hotel.

Luxembourg Slammed by EU over Help Given to Amazon
Luxembourg could be giving online retailer an unfair advantage through its help in slashing the company's tax bill said the European Commission on Friday.
The commission, the highest European Union executive body, has alleged that Luxembourg helped Amazon by allowing the online retailer to essentially become two entities.
One part is making money, selling products online, while the other is collecting royalties on its own brand.
In Luxembourg only the company selling products online pays taxes. The commission believes that the way the profits at Amazon are split, might not be legal and wants to investigate Luxembourg for possibly distorting the market in Europe.
Amazon said it did not receive any special treatment regarding taxes from the country, while Luxembourg officials claimed the way Amazon is treated does not equate to state aid.
It is not just the first time that Amazon has been hit by backlash in Europe. A number of countries in Europe are upset with the behemoth e-commerce company for not paying local taxes.
Amazon has a big hub in the country, which means that everything that is sold throughout the European Union is sold out of the country.
Yes, it has hundreds of different warehouses along with logistic centers in Europe, but under the law in Europe, these are not considered permanent establishments.
That tiny technicality however is huge because what is means is that Amazon does not have to pay any taxes in the individual countries that make up the European Union.
Amazon is not alone in this. Other multinational corporations are being investigated by the European Union.
There are similar allegations taking place in Ireland against Apple, the Cupertino, California based tech giant.
At the same time, Starbucks with a tax base in the Netherlands has also come under a great deal of scrutiny.
Amazon did not have any comment on the matter when one of its spokespersons was contacted about the tax issue.

Ferguson has the strength to overcome brain haemorrhage – Allegri
Juve's Massimiliano Allegri rallied around Alex Ferguson, who is in intensive care after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri sent his well wishes to Alex Ferguson after the former Manchester United manager underwent surgery following a brain haemorrhage.
The football world came together Saturday after Premier League giants United confirmed the iconic 76-year-old is in intensive care having undergone emergency surgery.
Ferguson reportedly fell ill Friday as he was admitted to Macclesfield District Hospital before being transferred to Salford Royal.
The legendary Scot – who also managed St Mirren and Aberdeen – spent 27 trophy-laden years at Old Trafford until 2013, winning 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns among others.
Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone surgery today for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to aid his recovery. His family request privacy in this matter.Everyone at Manchester United sends our very best wishes. May 5, 2018
And Allegri rallied around Ferguson, telling reporters: "I'm really sorry and I want to wish him good luck.
"I know he will have the strength to overcome this."
Allegri was speaking after six-time reigning Serie A champions Juve boosted their title hopes with a 3-1 win over Bologna.
Sami Khedira and Paulo Dybala were on target in the second half as Juve moved seven points clear of Scudetto rivals Napoli, who are due to face Torino Sunday.
sparks stylish comeback over Bologna May 5, 2018
"We don't have a secret, we just have a great will to achieve our goals. The team have showed that we want to sacrifice despite Napoli's amazing season," Allegri added.
"But we're not Champions yet. There are three points left. But we're at 91 points and that means we're doing well. We want to do better though and that means being Champions of Italy.
"We're playing the fourth Coppa Italia final, we played a good Champions League level with Real Madrid. Now we want to reap what we sowed, with a lot of sacrifice and effort on our part."

More on using bots in online poker games:
For what it's worth, game theory suggests that if it's likely that the other players are cheating, then the only winning strategy is to cheat. But the only ethical strategy is not to play at all. But I find this whole concept fascinating. One of the developers of a commercial poker bot likens his efforts to civil disobedience.
That being said, I've spent the morning researching what it would take to do this.
First, the online casinos have detection methods, both overt and subtle, for detecting the main commercial packages. There are ways around those detection methods, but, like any measure/counter-measure situation, it's not static. Each side is working to gain the upper hand, and at any given moment the advantage can shift.
Second, even if one is using one of the commercial packages, and especially if someone programs their own bot, one would have to have the skills of both a programmer AND a decent-to-good poker player in order to come up with a winning strategery. The author of the article I linked to below estimates that it can take as many as 2500 hours of programming to come up with a set of rules that will win over time AND code that into a bot. And even then, one can only win, say, $5 per table per hour on average. Sure, if it runs 24/7 that's $840 per week per table… but one of the ways to detect bots is to watch players who play 24/7, so the longer it goes on the more risk of having an account siezed and any winnings taken.
So, like most things, there's actually a lot of effort that would potentially be required to cheat and win at online poker. And it would take a large outlay of time and equipment and personnel to make big money. And, the more people you have involved, the more chances of getting caught or getting turned in.
Bummer. For a moment there I thought I'd found The American Dream (make buckets of money for free).

Well, I've been following a few threads for the last couple of months. My situation is basically:
I moved from the UK with the following HTPC:
ASRock AGP Motherboard
P4 3.0Ghz
1Gb Ram
Nebula DigiTV tuner
PNY NVidia FX5500 Video Card
DVine HTPC Case with VFD display
Marantz SR6200 AV Receiver - fed optical digital via cheap soundcard
Cabasse Ki 5.1 Speaker System
When I was in the UK using Media Center and their DVB-T transmission my system worked perfectly. It was brilliant! Unfortunately, with NZ transmissions my current rig struggles. With the correct drivers for my tuner, PowerDVD ultra and GB-PVR I managed to pick up the freeview channels here in Dunedin. The PC obviously couldn't handle them, the picture was very stuttery and broken up - but it was there! The HD test channel looked pretty good (when it flicked on and off the screen!)
So, I looked at upgrading my video card - but I only have an AGP slot, so it looked like that wasn't going to work.
So, then I saw the 780g motherboards - using the onboard HD3200 graphics card. Very nearly bought a motherboard, CPU and Ram to drop into my case. But then I got cold feet after reading a number of concerns with the catalyst drivers, and the stability of the ATI card when changing HDTV channels... I want this to be stable and functional - like it always has been...
I want to find the cheapest, stable upgrade to my current system. It's frustrating, as it used to work perfectly!! It's really only used as a media centre.
Now, I've found a series of new motherboards, based on NVidia's Geforce 8200 chipset. These seem like they might be the answer?! Unfortunately I can't find anyone retailing them in NZ yet, but I've found a few retailers out of the US (www.partspc.com) who will send them over for a reasonable price.
So, what I've found is an ECS motherboard - ECS GF8200A
This has the NVidia Geforce 8200 Graphics chipset and VGA and HDMI output. Unfortunately it doesn't have optical out (like the Gigabyte 780g) but it does have 3 PCI slots, so I can install my current sound card. The other two PCI slots will be for my tuner card, and wifi card. There are some other 8200 offerings from Asrock and Asus but these only seem to have 2 PCI slots (and no optical out either).
If I order:
- The ECS GF8200A Motherboard
- an AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+
- and 2gb DDR2 800Mhz Ram
It looks like I could have it all delivered here for around $NZ290
My 37" TV only has
1 x DVI-Digital ( 24 PIN Digital DVI )
1 x VGA input ( 15 PIN HD D-Sub (HD-15)
So I guess I'd either run it via VGA or and HDMI to DVI cable.
Right, I know a little about computers, and this all looks like it would do the trick. However, I would really appreciate some experienced, knowledgable feedback (or even just some comments!) to confirm that I'm not making a mistake - on any of the above!!
Looking forward to some feedback ;)
Cheers and thanks in advance,

In the process of creating websites, people often come to a major roadblock, choosing a web hosting service. A web hosting service features a server that allows its users to upload their content to the Internet and bring their website to life. This roadblock can be eliminated with the right information, such as the advice from the following article.
Before purchasing web hosting services, consider how your website will be designed. You will need an entirely different type of hosting plan, if you plan to use templates to create the website yourself. You will want to seriously consider hiring a professional web designer upfront, as you will end up with a better looking site and will save money on monthly hosting fees.
When choosing a web hosting package, you need to make sure you get the right amount of disk space. When calculating the amount of disk space needed, you need to think of things like HTML files, graphics, scripts, and multi-media content. If you site uses up too much disk space, you will either be charged more money or the host can shut your site down.
The web design on a web hosting provider's website is a quick and easy indication of the quality of the provider. If the website is poorly designed, it can indicate a company that isn't planning on being around for the long haul, or doesn't have enough clients to justify having a professional-looking website. Simply move on to a different provider if their website is not up to professional standards.
Look into a web hosts policies on spam. There are many hosting companies out there that have made a bad name for themselves by hosting any number of malicious domains, just as long as the pay on time. You may not want to have your site sitting among this company. It can put your company in a bad light.
Selecting a web host can be an excellent chance for you to contribute to the environment. If you are running an online business, this can also be a fantastic marketing opportunity. You should be able to easily determine whether the web host utilizes renewable power sources, and if they have energy saving practices in place.
Forums are a great resource for finding a good hosting site. They usually have special sections where sites have been reviewed and you can talk to a variety of people about their personal experiences. Don't rely on just a couple of reviews to make your end decision.
Find out what other programming services your potential web host offers. You don't want your sites to be limited to CSS and HTML. The best web hosts offer the ability to code sites using PHP and ASP as well. Even if you don't think you need these languages, you should use a web host that offers them. As your knowledge of web design grows, you might want to use these languages to help your site reach its full potential.
As you have read, and probably witnessed yourself, people often face difficulty in finding a competent web hosting service that will allow their website to be created successfully. All it takes to eliminate this difficulty is the proper advice, like the ones from this article. Now, use that advice and make your website today!

We talk about our first X-Men/Mutant with this discussion on Emma Frost. We cover her entire history from her being introduced as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club to her transition to becoming an X-Men and protector of the mutant race. We talk about the recurring tragedies that help mold Emma from being just an evil villain to the hero she is now. An interesting thing about Emma is that despite this change, she still maintained her elitism and coldness but it has a purpose.

Obama: Iran Deal 'Important First Step'
- November, 24, 2013 - 12:00
- Other Media news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – President Barack Obama hailed an historic interim deal with Iran Saturday as "an important first step" towards a comprehensive pact to end the showdown over Teheran's nuclear program.
The president however quickly ran into criticism from opponents on Capitol Hill, reflecting the deep mistrust of Tehran after more than 30 years of Cold War-style hostilities and Obama's own ragged domestic political fortunes.
"While today's announcement is just a first step, it achieves a great deal," Obama said in a late night statement from the White House after the agreement was clinched in talks between P5+1 world powers and Iran in Geneva, AFP reported.
"For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program, and key parts of the program will be rolled back."
The president also warned that if Iran did not live up to its side of the bargain, it would both lose the nearly $7 billion in sanctions relief allowed under the interim deal and face increased sanctions.
Washington and its allies had taken "an important first step toward a comprehensive solution that addresses our concerns with the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program," Obama said.
Senior US officials said the deal did not "recognize" Iran's right to enrich uranium, and committed Tehran to take a number of steps to halt progress on its nuclear program.
These include, according to the White House, a commitment to halt uranium enrichment above five percent and to neutralize a stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium.
The White House said that Iran agreed to not to install additional centrifuges or to use any of its new generation centrifuge, and to leave inoperable roughly half of installed centrifuges at the Natanz plant and three-quarters of installed centrifuges at Fordow.
Tehran also agreed to not commission its Arak reactor, designed to eventually produce plutonium that could be used in a nuclear bomb, and to halt construction on the plant.
In return, world powers, including the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany plus the European Union, agreed to a set of "modest" measures to ease sanctions that have choked the Iranian economy.
Obama stressed that the "toughest" sanctions would remain pending a final deal.
"We will refrain from imposing new sanctions, and we will allow the Iranian government access to a portion of the revenue that they have been denied through sanctions," Obama said.
"I have a profound responsibility to try to resolve our differences peacefully, rather than rush towards conflict," Obama said. "Today, we have a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive, peaceful settlement, and I believe we must test it."

Great parenting.

What a little baby.
Didn't see that coming.
Any ideas?
The quest for views continues.
There are a lot of people out there who claim to have had encounters with aliens, but I'm not sure if any...

The Aggie Awards - The Best Adventure Games of 2014 page 3
Best Writing – Comedy: Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse
A Broken Sword adventure may not be the most obvious candidate for best comedic writing, but the series has always been a great blend of both drama and comedy, and The Serpent's Curse is no different. While it never intends to be laugh-a-minute, the game is all the funnier for its judicious use of humour rather than the throw-everything-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks approach. Protagonist George Stobbart is full of dry and cutting one-liners, like expressing his lack of surprise that a café has no customers after meeting its pretentious owner, and he continually lightens the mood during darker moments.
But it isn't just the main man who brings the gags. Nico's snappy banter is always a welcome feature, and the colourful supporting cast add to the comedy as well, even if sometimes they don't intend to (though the writers surely did). "Nobody move – especially you on the floor," declares the serious Inspector Navet as he enters a crime scene where a man lies dead. Elsewhere you'll find the likes of a gruff but oddly articulate henchman gardener played totally against stereotype, and a recently widowed French woman whose mourning manifests itself in delusions, each of whom offer chuckles in outlandish situations. And the return of everyone's (least) favourite goat was an inside joke for series fans that showed the developers aren't above poking fun even at themselves. Never offensive, never crass, the comedy here may be more subtle than most, but it's a clever script filled with zingers, and its Aggie Award is no joke. Welcome back, Revolution, and thanks for the laughs.
Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure
Detective Grimoire
Quest for Infamy
Readers' Choice: Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure
Like Broken Sword, the Tex Murphy games are not primarily comedies – they just happen to be funnier than most of those that are. Over the years, the series has developed a unique personality – or rather multiple personalities. Through dialogue choices, you can often affect how Tex responds. With a droll quip? A self-deprecating denial? Or an over-the-top demand? The comedic writing in Tesla Effect is all the more remarkable because each of Tex's diverse responses works in the context of the story arc. Do you want to laugh with Tex? Laugh at him? Be impressed? Be appalled? Sooner or later you will be given these choices, all of them equally entertaining yet leaving his core charisma intact. Tex isn't the only funny character, but he does get all the best lines, and now he's laughing all the way to the readers' Aggie podium.

Community Comments
By the way, for the next year I would like to suggest a new category - for best make up: Grim Fandango will be up for voting, as well as maybe a new episode of the Journey Down… Maybe also a new category for worst jokes would be a good idea
Because the game described by its own developers as a "role-playing experience" is not considered an adventure at the only place that matters to the Aggies.
Why was CONSORTIUM not considered amongst all those games considered for awards in all those categories?! Seriously, how is this game THAT over-looked??
It is often referred to as an adventure game (among other genres), and has over 20 voice actors and 4000 lines of recorded dialog as part of it's fabric….
Ok, thanks!
Definitely less than 1000, and probably closer to 400 than 700. I never actually counted them all up together, and I don't have direct access to the data at the moment.
Plenty to determine a consensus, anyway.
Ok, something around 400-700 votes, (less than 1000)?
Lobo pampeano, I forget the exact number but there were several hundred people who voted.
guess i am the only one that voted for the goat as best character…
I'm not at all surprised Tex won a lot of these awards.Tesla Effect was a huge surprise to me on many levels - it's hard to bring the adventure magic of yore back to life, especially on a shoestring Kickstarter budget, but Tesla Effect 100% pulled it off. It was a grand return of Tex - funny, atmospheric, clearly a labour of love. Puzzle-wise, the final acts of the game were weaker than the preceding one, agreed, but that's the only complaint I have.
I kind of wish The Journey Down:Chapter 2 got more love however, it was absolutely amazing, yet seems to have flown under everyone's radar.
Hey Jackal, about my question… you know… how many voted???
Thanks for your work with Aggies. Once again, you somehow convinced me to check several games that I missed.
I`m just happy for the results. Epiphany and Tex Murphy totally deserved to be in top here. They were both great but Epiphany was especially epic top quality game! Thanks for the whole Blackwell series Dave!
I`m happy to see that The Wolf Among Us and Broken Sword got prices at some categories too. In my books, they were 3. and 4. best games after Epiphany and Tex.
I hope Big Finish Games guys check these results, we need more Tex
Odd to find so many votes for Tex Murphy when with the exception of this site and one other, the game reviewers gave it a meh 6-7 out of 10. I don't blame people for doubting the voting.
I personally hate FMV so I'll miss out, happy everyone else enjoyed it so much.
I don't want to add much to this discussion for obvious reasons, but had to at least leave a message saying thanks. So… thanks! This made my week.
Majsan, the bloopers and deleted scene are accessed in-game (via icons) at the appropriate time if you have the developer commentary turned on (which you can do through the main menu "Options" screen).
Thom-22, thanks very much. The Aggies are always a lot of work, but we hope people have fun with them.
I guess Blackwell Epiphany i s the right game for best adventure ( _guess_ has to do with me playing far from all of the competitors), especially if you consider it a price for the whole Blackwell series. Tesla Effect, altough a decent game -but far from as good as its predecessors - has a ring of fanboy choice to it.
A little question about the extras you write about for Blackwell. Is the bloopers and the deleted scene a part of every version of the game? I have the gog version and haven't found those two, and they only list wallpaper as extra material… Or maybe I just haven't been "clicking" around enough
Excellent awards presentation! Your efforts are much appreciated—both the decision-making and the fun and informative write-ups. I like the inclusion of the Silver Aggies. I thought it was a great year for our genre and this year holds great promise too.
From what I understand: "Setting" refers to the universe in which the game takes place, and how encapsulating it is in terms of story, relevancy and delivery. Graphic design is probably a more accurate category when talking about "background art", presentation or graphics, in which case Tesla was not even a runner up.
I feel the same DrFrankenstein. I liked Tesla Effect a bit, Tesla Effect probably deserves an award or two, but to give Tesla Effect the Best Setting award is almost ironic. The quality of Tesla Effect's background art is often shockingly poor.
And the one that really boggles me: best gameplay for tesla effect. Those puzzles… i dont know… and a large part of the game was dungeon crawling in a straight line… just eh…
haha…. For a change im agreeing with the site choices more than the reader. Tesla effect was not an awful game… i backed it, i had fun… but geez… not understanding the votes here.
So happy for Tesla Effect. Well deserved. Here's to hoping that wasn't the end for Tex.
Thanks for clarifying that, Jack. The list did look a little fishy. Guess I should try to get around to Tesla Effect at some point!
It's not a prank, and there's no sign of voter fraud of any kind. (We looked.)
There are just a boatload of people who love Tex and Tesla Effect, it seems.
What's with the Tex Murphy domination of the reader awards? Feels like a prank of sorts.
Really loved the video! Wonderfully edited to some super-haunting music.
whoa, huge community love for Tex Muprhy! I must say I didn't expect it even if i loved the game
I totally agree with the Best Story choice. The Blackwell Epiphany is one of the few (only?) games this year to make me cry.
Can you please let us know how many readers voted? I'd like to have an idea how many active memebers we have.
Thank you..

Post-aesthetic surgery recovery treatment
(liposuction, tummy tuck, breast implants facial lifts etc)
After liposuction, there are two components that cause the swelling, the pocketing of fluid common on the flanks (sides of torso) and discomfort clients experience. The first is the extensive damage to the superficial lymphatic system that results in the pooling and production of excess fluid in the healing process. The second is a large volume of blood-tinged tumescent anesthetic solution remaining trapped under the skin may slow postoperative recovery. Both of these factors require external treatment to aid in the reduction of fluid retention.
This is a gentle, non-invasive manual therapy that has a powerful effect on our body MLD has grown to be the most well known manual technique to assist lymph flow and aid in drainage of tissues.
The skin is stretched and torqued in a specific manner, based on scientific, physiological principles that have proven to encourage lymph flow. If performed correctly with the correct pressure, direction and speed, this can greatly enhance recovery and facilitate drainage. It also has profound effects on systems in the body.
Sculpting body treatment
This non-surgical fat reduction treatment gently and effectively targets the fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the skin itself unaffected
The different machines that we use to cleared and contours the body by safely and effectively remove away unwanted fat for good without surgery or downtime
You can reduce fat in multiple areas of your body with different techniques, and additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your provider will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored just for you.
Orange skin or cellulite treatment
Its name makes it sound like a medical condition. But cellulite is nothing more than normal fat beneath the skin. The fat appears bumpy because it pushes against connective tissue, causing the skin above it to pucker. Cellulite isn't harmful. Many people, though, would like to get rid of it because of the way it looks.
Liposonix Treatment
Liposonix is one of the latest, non-surgical fat reduction technologies. Using state of the art, high-frequency ultrasound waves, undesirable fat cells are destroyed in a procedure lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. Nothing is more frustrating than that last inch that cannot be shed, especially around the waistline. With minimal downtime after the procedure, you can return to your normal daily activities.
How does Liposonix work?
A specially designed treatment head is placed on your chosen treatment area. This treatment head delivers high intensity focused ultrasound energy below the skin in order to target the desired area of subcutaneous (below the skin) fat. Fat beneath the surface is destroyed due to an effect called thermal coagulation caused by the high-intensity ultrasound. The energy delivered by the treatment head heats up the layer of fat below the skin causing the fat cells to be destroyed without harming the layer of skin above. The treated fat tissue gets removed through the body's natural elimination process.
CoolSculpting Cryolipolisys
CoolSculpting® is a leading non-invasive fat-reduction treatment. † It's an innovative way to contour your body by freezing unwanted fat. It involves no surgery and minimal expected downtime.
How it works
The CoolSculpting® procedure delivers precisely controlled cooling to target the fat cells underneath the skin. Treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), destroyed, and then over time your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells.* The result? A more sculpted you.
Fat elimination after the CoolSculpting® procedure
Fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting® procedure are gradually destroyed and leave the body through the body's natural elimination process.* Untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution.
Medical treatment for excess sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It refers to any abnormal sweating, such as sweating when it's not hot. People who sweat excessively often soak through their clothing or drip sweat. Regular antiperspirants don't work well for those with this condition.
Botox injections are a new treatment option for people with hyperhidrosis. You may be a candidate for Botox if your sweating fails to improve with prescription antiperspirants. Botox has been FDA-approved for people who sweat excessively from their armpits. It may also be used "off-label" to reduce sweating in other areas, such as the hands, feet, and face.
Botox for migraines
What are the potential benefits of Botox?
Botox treatments can help reduce symptoms of migraine headaches, including nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to lights, sounds, and smells. Today it's used to treat problems such as repetitive neck spasms, eye twitching, and overactive bladder. In 2010, the FDA approved Botox as a preventive treatment option for chronic migraines after you receive Botox injections, it may take as long as 10 to 14 days for you to experience relief. In some cases, you may not experience any relief from your symptoms following your first set of injections. Additional treatments may prove more effective.
Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMJ) and Botox
BOTOX® is used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and associated jaw tension and pain. When injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, BOTOX® relieves TMJ and jaw tension for many patients.

Things To Know About Hospital Safety
All forms of safety equipment will be utilized, given that the health services industry in general stretches over so many sub-sectors, from the hospital environment to the chemical laboratory. The design, manufacture, supply and distribution of hospital safety equipment norfolk va products should always come with clear directions on how they need to be utilized within the hospital environment.
Two of the prominent materials utilized will be that of plastic and rubber. This could be due to its durability and pliability. And because of that, it is possible to maintain control over the achievement of highly sanitized and hygienic conditions. In many cases, the items in use, can be renewed for further use through a vigorous process of cleansing. But in many cases not. They are simply disposed of in a responsible and sustainable manner.
This will not be a reflection on the subject materials but rather due to the high standards of hygiene and safety required in many areas of the health services industry. A good example of such materials would be that of personalized protective equipment and clothing. It is essentially required clothing for the purposes of establishing a barrier between the wearer and germs, bacteria and harmful diseases.
Needless to say, the protective clothing will not only be worn by the health services staff alone. They will be worn by patients as well, as the case may be. The wearing thereof continues to help prevent the spread of bacterial debris and diseases within the hospital environment. It is imperative that both staff and patients wear such clothing should they be exposed to blood and bodily fluids. Two common items to be worn will be that of masks and gloves.

After welcoming the reigning national champion Buckeyes to the White House on Monday afternoon and praising their resilience, character and each of their three quarterbacks, Obama joked about his own arm strength before ultimately picking up a game ball and looking ready for a bit of action.
"They kept on battling back with the help of not one, not two but three quarterbacks," Obama said. "... And we learned that Cardale Jones is not your average third-string quarterback. Anybody with a nickname like '12 Gauge' has to be taken seriously.
"I told him that I could throw a football 75 yards also, but he didn't believe me. So he clearly is a smart kid."
Obama came prepared with plenty of jokes for the ceremony in the East Room, thanking crop-topped running back Ezekiel Elliott for tucking in his shirt, mimicking defensive end Joey Bosa's famous shrug pose and even referring to Ohio State rival Michiganas the "Team Up North."
He also was quick to point out his campaign promise in 2008 to bring a playoff to college football as the reason the Buckeyes were even being honored. OSU earned a spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff field before beating Alabamaand Oregonfor the national title.
"This was a historic year in college football, the country got to enjoy its first ever college football playoffs," Obama said. "And I will say it, it was about time. I cannot claim full credit, but I will point out that I pushed for a playoff system in 2008.
"I said I would throw my weight around, and PolitiFact keeps track of whether politicians keep their promises -- you're welcome America."
The Buckeyes, at least, were clearly thankful for the opportunity. And they made the most of the chance to celebrate the fact that they took advantage of it, bringing a game ball from the title game and a personalized No. 44 jersey with Obama's name on it.
After arriving in the morning, the Buckeyes toured the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial before heading to the White House for a tour and a chance to shake hands with the president. For Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, it was his third visit as a national champion and first with the Buckeyes, which also prompted a crack from Obama since he had "only done it twice -- and for the same team both times."
After the ceremony, Meyer again thanked Obama for his support of the playoff system and indicated he would pick his brain about his upcoming quarterback battle between Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett and Jones. But he doesn't have room for anybody else in the competition, even the president.
"He said he has a hard time hitting a golf ball 75 yards, but I don't believe that," Meyer said. "I'm going to meet with him again and ask him some questions about [the quarterbacks]. That was my fault, I forgot to ask.
"I'm glad he's a sports fan. He made the point several times, but it's true -- he jumped right in the middle of the conversation about the College Football Playoff, and we obviously benefited. This was a great day."

Telemundo Chief Browne to Retire
Hispanic population boom has Comcast taking closer look at network
After putting in more than 30 years at NBC, Telemundo president Don Browne is retiring in June. Browne will celebrate his 68th birthday next month.
Effective June 3, Browne will step down from his leadership role at the Spanish-language network, a post he has held since 2005.
Browne is responsible for all business and programming functions at Telemundo, spearheading its original series development, managing sports and news operations, and overseeing the youth-targeted cable network mun2.
A successor will be named "in the coming months," Telemundo said.
In a departure from the boilerplate that can usually be found in this kind of network announcement, Browne was not quoted in the official NBCUniversal press release. That said, Telemundo's new bosses were given an opportunity to wax nostalgic on Browne's tenure at NBC.
"Don Browne has had an outstanding career as a broadcaster and executive," said NBCU CEO Steve Burke, in announcing Browne's impending departure. "Under his leadership [Telemundo] has become an extremely exciting part of our portfolio. We are grateful for what he has accomplished and wish him all the best on a well-deserved retirement."
NBCU also credited Browne with "playing a key role" in the 2001 acquisition of Telemundo.
Browne joined NBC in 1979, beginning his tenure as NBC News' Miami bureau chief. He was named the #2 at NBC News in 1991.
Perhaps as a result of 2010 Census data that suggests the U.S. Hispanic population has grown 43 percent since 2000, Telemundo has been earning a good deal of attention from upper management. During Comcast's most recent earnings call, CEO Brian Roberts told investors that his team was "very excited about opportunities like Telemundo."
Once the Comcast-NBCU deal closed in late January, Browne began reporting to Lauren Zalaznick, president of NBCU's Women & Lifestyle Entertainment Networks. A hands-on media executive, Zalaznick has reportedly been taking Spanish lessons since taking over the Telemundo portfolio.
Browne is the second high-ranking exec this week to begin transitioning out of NBCU. On Monday, chief diversity officer Paula Madison announced she would retire next month.
As is the case with Browne, a replacement for Madison is expected to be made within the next few weeks.

The Other Side
The ridge follows beside me, always, as a barrier to the cool, quiet place of rest. Meanwhile, I trudge along on this side, knee-deep in scratchy grasses full of swarming gnats. I watch the briars and crowded trees, looking for an open space – a way to cross over.
It is hot over here, sultry, humid. Recently I found paths leading through the shadows and underneath the canopy of trees - a network leading almost to the other side - that unexpectedly stopped. I returned somewhat refreshed by the shade, somewhat encouraged by the possibility, but also deflated. Reality said, "Not yet."
Just yesterday I found a walkway along the top of the ridge where I examined both sides more clearly. It was a gracious and hopeful path, and yet realistic. Today, the way seems cluttered again, and slow, and headed back towards heat and oppression.
No! It cannot be! I will not end up on this side! And yet there is no stopping, no waiting, no going back. I'm obviously in the process of discovery, and must move forward as the clearing allows.
The only answer to such wandering is an expectant heart: knowledge that the path will once again turn, that the other side of the ridge will show up again, that I will, indeed, be granted permanent passage there. But even so, I must accept my current stance – the almost, but not quite, spot - the position of traveling the ridge, hopeful and watchful.
I know this, deeply, and yet it is hard to wait for what promises to heal me: freedom to enter the other side.
There it is, and here I am. I have seen, I have known hope that takes me far from inner pressure and this exhausting longing. It is a place of sweet promise.
Take me over the ridge, Lord. Cut down the thorns; clear the path. It is not far, this place. It is just a little further, on the other side. I'm almost there.
What is it? Where is it? Am I dreaming, or it is real?
My great escape from myself directs me there: into the deep heart of God.

(Aechmea, Orland's Bromeliad)
A carnival of color and texture in its foliage, Orland's bromeliad has apple-green leaves with dark red stripes and speckles and eventually forms a red flower spike with yellow blossoms. A tender tropical perennial bromeliad that is an epiphyte (grows upon other plants like trees), it is native to southern Brazil. It may also be propped in well-draining soil to look ground-dwelling but ideally protected from frost.
The wide strap-like leaves form a vase-shaped rosette that holds water in the...

(Bishop's Goutweed)
Bishop's Goutweed is a fast-spreading Eurasian groundcover that has become naturalized across the whole of North America. It spreads via rhizomes (rooting underground stems) and has green compound leaves with three to nine leaflets. The equally weedy garden variety, 'Variegatum', is the most common form in cultivation and has leaves mottled with ivory.
In mid-spring to summer, goutweed produces umbels of tiny white flowers that are insect-pollinated and produce lots of brown seeds that spread...

(Bishop's Goutweed, Snow-on-the-Mountain, Variegated Bishop's Goutweed)
Snow-on-the-Mountain is a rapidly spreading groundcover that is native to Europe and western Asia and has rampantly naturalized in North America. 'Variegatum' has three to nine widely divided, white and light green aromatic leaves that travel by way of fibrous roots and rhizomes. In mid spring to summer it produces umbels of tiny white flowers that turn to seed that will eagerly broadcast itself and freely germinate. (Removing seed heads when possible curtails unwanted volunteers from germinating)....

Grown for their architectural and often colorful foliage, aeoniums are evergreen succulent perennials or shrubs found mainly on the Canary Islands. They bear fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves in rosettes at the tips of one to several stems, with new growth appearing in late fall and early winter. Typically bright green to blue-green, the leaves are variegated, purple, or golden on some selections, and may have red-tinted margins. Many aeoniums are low mat-forming plants with short rosette stems; others...
James Burghardt
(Aeonium, Kiwi Aeonium, Variegated Aeonium)
Its colorful foliage makes this low evergreen succulent a real stand-out in mild climate gardens. It may be a hybrid of Aeonium haworthii developed in Australia. Kiwi aeonium produces dense mounded rosettes of fleshy light green leaves that are chartreuse upon emerging in fall. The somewhat hairy, spade-shaped leaves have crimson margins and may develop pinkish variegation in cool weather. The rosettes are borne on short stems which root on contact with soil, resulting in a spreading mound...
John Rickard
(Tree Aeonium)
An architecturally interesting succulent for garden color and texture, tree aeonium is a heat- and drought- tolerant native of Morocco. Its branched stems are upright, each bearing a tight rosette of spoon-shaped, bright green leaves. Some plants' leaves are mottled or blushed lightly with burgundy or purplish tones. In the spring, each mature rosette produces an upright stalk that towers above the foliage. At the top of the stalk is a dense mass of bright yellow flowers, each small and with many...
(Tree Aeonium, Zwartkop Aeonium)
A wonderful plant for color and textural interest, Zwartkop tree aeonium is a heat- and drought-tolerant succulent that originates from Morocco. The words "zwartkop" or "schwarzkopf" mean "black rose or head," referring to the dark leaf clusters. Its branched stems are upright, each bearing a tight rosette of spoon-shaped near-black leaves. A leaf is rich in very dark red pigments, making it look black from a distance. In the spring, each mature rosette develops an upright stalk that reaches above...
James H. Schutte
(Aoenium, Pinwheel)
Easy to grow, this shrubby evergreen from the Canary Islands is prized for its handsome succulent foliage. It bears rosettes of fleshy light green spade-shaped leaves at the tips of branching knee-high stems, with new growth appearing in late fall and early winter. The leaves often have red-tinted margins. Where stems contact soil they will root, developing ever larger mounds with time. In spring, each rosette puts forth a large, single flower stalk topped with creamy yellow blossoms. The rosette...
(Aeonium, Saucer Plant)
Imagine a plant that looks like it was squashed to the ground as if stepped on by an elephant. That's saucer plant. This strange low-growing tender perennial forms a flat, rounded rosette of succulent foliage. It is native to the coastal cliffs of Tenerife in the Canary Islands and is well-adapted to salt spray and high winds. Each rosette survives as a biennial or short-lived perennial, reproducing by seed or small pups that sprout from the base of the mother plant.
Spoon-shaped, bright green...

Imagine walking through the humid rainforests of Southeast Asia and encountering a plant with mottled, snake-like leaves dangling above your head in a tree. You eyes may fool you to think the sprawling, dangling stems are indeed a preying critter ready to attack. The zebra basket vine poses no such threat, but will intrigue you with its foliage and tubular flowers. This mounding to semi-trailing tender perennial subshrub is native to Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia. It is epiphytic - growing on another...
