TOP STORY: Stones tops Arteta's Arsenal wish list
John Stones could be in line for a stunning Premier League switch, with new Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta keen on signing the England international, The Sun reports. The City defender is represented by the same agency as Arteta and would be keen to discuss a move, even if it's only on loan.

Stones' season has been plagued by injury and loss of form, with no sign of a new contract offer from City and just two years left to run on his deal at the Etihad.
The Sun claims that there is also an understanding that City boss Pep Guardiola has lost faith in Stones, a potential problem ahead of this summer's Euros, with England manager Gareth Southgate keen to see the 25-year-old featuring regularly for his club side.
Arsenal's defensive struggles have cost them this season. No team in the top 10 of the Premier League has conceded more than the 31 goals the Gunners have shipped this term.
22.52 GMT: Representatives from AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven have met with the agent of Ricardo Rodriguez to discuss a deal that would bring the 27-year-old Swiss left-back to the Netherlands, according to Italian transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio, after his place in the Rossoneri starting XI was taken by Theo Hernandez.

21.20 GMT: Earlier in the day we brought you news of Chelsea recalling Conor Gallagher from his loan at relegation-threatened Charlton Athletic in order to place him at a more competitive club, and now the Mail writes that the 19-year-old midfielder is closing in on a loan switch to Swansea.
20.57 GMT: Manchester United starlet Tahith Chong is out of contract this summer and has been linked with a free transfer to Juventus, but now Sky Sport Italia's Fabrizio Romano reports that the 20-year-old's agent is in Milan offering his client to Inter.

20.34 GMT: While Atletico Madrid outcast Thomas Lemar has been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham in recent weeks, Mundo Deportivo reports that it's Wolves who could actually land the 24-year-old France international on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy.
20.11 GMT: Despite their need for defensive reinforcements, Chelsea are unlikely to exercise their £40m buyback option for Bournemouth's in-demand centre-back Nathan Ake, according to Sky Sports.
19.44 GMT: D.C. United continued its roster reshuffle on Tuesday, acquiring midfielder Edison Flores from Mexico's Morelia. The MLS club will pay a $5 million transfer fee, according to multiple reports.
The 25-year old from Peru had 12 goals and six assists for Morelia across all competitions over the past two seasons and will occupy a Designated Player spot for D.C. United. He reportedly agreed on a five-year, $10 million deal that will include incentives.
19.22 GMT: Celtic have announced the signing of 21-year-old Poland U21 striker Patryk Klimala from Polish top-flight side Jagiellonia Bialystok.

19.07 GMT: Chelsea have recalled Conor Gallagher from his season-long loan at relegation-threatened Championship side Charlton Athletic, according to the Evening Standard, with the Blues seeking to test the promising 19-year-old midfielder at a promotion-chasing squad or a lower-level Premier League team following an excellent first half of his campaign.
18.39 GMT: Watford have confirmed the signing of 24-year-old attacker Ignacio Pussetto from Udinese on a contract that runs through 2024.

17.30 GMT: Just six months after joining Napoli, Fernando Llorente is set to leave the Naples club, Calciomercato writes, with Tottenham said to be interested in re-signing the 24-year-old striker who served as Harry Kane's backup last season now that the Spurs talisman could miss the remainder of the campaign with a knee injury.
17.07 GMT: Thirty-four-year-old Dutch goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer has left Eredivisie giants Feyenoord to embark on a journey with 2019 Major League Soccer Supporters' Shield winners LAFC, according to Voetbal International.
16.44 GMT: Manchester United have whittled down a lengthy list of playmakers to a more manageable trio of targets, the Manchester Evening News reports. Leicester City No. 10 James Maddison, Ajax creator-in-chief Donny van de Beek and Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish comprise the shortlist, with the Dutchman reportedly the most remote of options.
16.21 GMT: Super-agent Jorge Mendes is in London to finalise the deal that's set to see 21-year-old Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes join Tottenham on an 18-month loan with an option to buy, with his client undergoing his medical on Tuesday, according to the Telegraph.
15.58 GMT: Quite why they need another creative midfielder is beyond us, but Chelsea are ready to bid €55m for Isco, according to El Desmarque Madrid.
Isco has found himself some playing time in recent weeks, which has attracted the interest of the Blues. But Real Madrid are likely to want a lot more money for the Spain international.
15.31 GMT: Stoke City forward Tyrese Campbell is highly rated by Wolves, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, who are all reportedly interested in signing him. But they have been joined by Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers, according to talkSPORT.
RB Leipzig are also watching him, apparently, and you can read why they are the most hated team in the Bundesliga here.
15.08 GMT: There was talk in the summer of Thomas Muller leaving Bayern Munich and, though he stayed, the 30-year-old will be considering his future in the summer. Manchester United are keen, but then a lot of clubs will be if the forward becomes available.
"My focus is exclusively on being successful this season," Muller told Sport1. "What will happen in the summer, I will talk to the club and consider my options. Then let's see in which direction things will go."
14.53 GMT: Aston Villa are keen to bring Stephen Nzonzi back to the Premier League after he was suspended by Galatasaray following a bust-up at their training ground.
Nzonzi is on loan at the Turkish side from AS Roma, but the 14-cap France international is open to ending that spell early and moving back to England, according to the Mirror.
With John McGinn ruled out for several months with a fractured ankle, Villa are keen to bolster their midfield options ahead of a relegation scrap. They have already signed Danny Drinkwater on loan from Chelsea, but they could be tempted to dip into the market again following his nightmare debut against Manchester City at the weekend.
14.12 GMT: It's fair to say Olivier Giroud hasn't had the best of times under Frank Lampard at Chelsea, and now he is ready to head to Inter Milan this month in order to find more first team football.
The French World Cup winner has agreed personal terms with the Serie A side and is now waiting for the two clubs to agree a fee, the Daily Mail reports.
The fee is becoming a bit of a sticking point, though. Inter have offered £4.5m for the wantaway striker, but the Blues want at least £6.5m in order to allow him to move this month.
Giroud's contract with Chelsea runs out in the summer, but the former Arsenal man is keen to leave the club this month.
13.37 GMT: Nigel Pearson has revitalised Watford since taking the reigns, and now he is lining up his first signing as Hornets boss with Udinese winger Ignacio Pussetto set to join the club.
Udinese, who are owned by the same family who own Watford, are set to let the Argentine move to Vicarage Road for £7m, the same fee the Serie A outfit paid for him back in 2018.
He is set to join the club on a four-and-a-half year deal, according to Sky Sports.
13.05 GMT: Manchester City are set to allow striker Sergio Aguero leave the club whenever he chooses after carving out a legendary legacy at the club, according to the Daily Mail.
The Argentine became the highest scoring overseas player in the Premier League's history when he claimed his hat-trick against Aston Villa last weekend -- his 177th goal in the competition.
Aguero, who has 18-months left on his deal at the Etihad, surpassed Thierry Henry's tally with his three goals against Villa.
How Aguero has become a record-breaking striker
Craig Burley praises how "uber consistent" Sergio Augero has been with Manchester City.
12.24 GMT: Ashley Young's proposed move to Inter Milan is in doubt with Antonio Conte's side negotiating a deal that could see Italy fullback Leonardo Spinazzola move to the San Siro instead.
According to Sky Sports, Inter are close to agreeing a swap deal with AS Roma, with Matteo Politano heading to the capital and Spinazzola moving the other way.
Inter are desperate to add a left-back to their squad with Young, whose Manchester United contract expires this summer, entering talks with the club over a transfer.
But Inter's pursuit of Spinazzola could jeopardise Young's chances of linking up with former teammates Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez in northern Italy with the club unlikely to need both players.
11.52 GMT: Takumi Minamino has already arrived at Anfield this month, but could the Reds be about to sign a new goalkeeper to challenge Alissonand Adrian?
Liverpool have made a €15m to Trabzonspor highly-rated stopper Ugurcan Cakir, according to Turkish newspaper Sabah.
The 23-year-old has one cap for Turkey to his name, making his debut for the national side in a friendly against Greece last year.
Trabzonspor are, of course, the club Daniel Sturridge and John Obi Mikel currently play for, but you knew that already.
11.23 GMT: A big happy birthday goes out to West Ham's Declan Rice, who turns 21 today, but could he be moving to Manchester United in the near future?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sent his personal scout to watch Rice in action during West Ham's 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United on Friday ahead of a potential summer pursuit, according to reports in the Daily Mail.
Closer to home for Rice, teammate Jack Wilshere played a rather nasty (and hilarious) prank on the England international to celebrate his birthday. Wilshere wished Rice a happy birthday by climbing into a washing machine at West Ham's training ground, jumping out as Rice walked past, before sharing the footage on Instagram.

10.57 GMT: Big managerial news from Ecuador -- they have appointed Jordi Cruyff as the new coach of their national team.
- Vickery: Jordi Cruyff has a famous name, but is he cut out to coach Ecuador?
10.41 GMT: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is remaining coy on Manchester United's pursuit of Bruno Fernandes, amid reports from Portuguese outlet A Bola that Andreas Pereira could be offered to Sporting Lisbon on loan in order to complete a deal for Fernandes.
"I've got no transfer updates," Solskjaer told a news conference on Tuesday. "If we get something that we can tell you about we will but I've got no news now."
Sources told ESPN's Rob Dawson last week Sporting Lisbon are keen to cash in on Fernandes in order to ease their financial difficulties, with Solskjaer interested in pursuing the Portuguese international in order to reinforce their midfield option.
- Dawson: Ole tells Greenwood: Forget Euro 2020, focus on United
10.06 GMT: Liverpool have turned down an approach from AS Roma to take Xherdan Shaqiri on loan, according to Sky Italia's Fabrizio Romano.
Shaqiri has only made 10 appearances for the Reds in all competitions this season with Takumi Minamino's arrival set to make game time even harder to come by for the Swiss international, but Jurgen Klopp is keen to ensure none of his senior attacking options leave this month as the club close in on their maiden Premier League title.
Roma are keen to bring in a winger this month with Nicolo Zaniolo suffering a season ending injury during the side's 2-1 defeat against Juventus last weekend.
09.33 GMT: With Pepe Reina joining Aston Villa, AC Milan needed a new backup goalkeeper, and they've acted quickly to snap up Bournemouth stopper Asmir Begovic on loan until the end of the season.
Begovic, who has made 62 appearances for the Cherries since arriving from Chelsea in 2017, slipped to being Bournemouth's fourth choice goalkeeper towards the back end last season. He spent the first half of the season on loan at Qarabag in Azerbaijan, but he will now spend the remainder of the campaign providing cover for Gianluigi Donnarumma at the San Siro.
09.13 GMT: Sporting Lisbon will only make a €7m move to acquire Slovan Bratislava striker Andraz Sporar once they sell captain Bruno Fernandes to Manchester United, according to Record.
Reports that Fernandes will join Manchester United for €65m this month have intensified in recent days. The Portugal international is the highest paid player at Benfica, earning €4m per season, and was a target of Tottenham and Real Madrid in the summer after scoring 31 goals in 50 appearances for Sporting in all competitions last season.
According to Record, Sporting have chosen Sporar as the ideal candidate to replace Fernandes should the latter leave for United. The Slovenian is the leading scorer in the Fortuna League with 12 goals.
08.48 GMT: You may have noticed that Barcelona sacked manager Ernesto Valverde last night, then hired Quique Setien as his replacement.
This may well have repercussions over their transfer business in January but find out all you need to know about the new man here.
Who is Barcelona's reported new manager, Quique Setien?
Sid Lowe says Quique Setien will be embraced by Barcelona purists because of his style of play.
08.28 GMT: Former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina joined Aston Villa on a short-term deal from AC Milan on Monday night.
The 37-year-old, who has also played for Barcelona, Villarreal, Bayern Munich and Napoli and was part of the Spain squad that won the World Cup in 2010 and the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, was mainly a back-up to Milan No. 1 Gianluigi Donnarumma during his time at the San Siro.
Villa were keen to sign a goalkeeper after their first-choice Tom Heaton sustained a season-ending injury.
Reina spent eight years at Liverpool between 2005 and 2013, winning an FA Cup, a Football League Cup, a FA Community Shield and a UEFA Super Cup.
08.00 GMT: Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says he will continue to play Christian Eriksen despite acknowledging the midfielder is not playing at his best for the club as he edges closer to leaving.
According to The Times, the 27-year-old has agreed a deal in principle with Inter Milan over a four-year contract worth £100,00 a week after tax.
Mourinho told a news conference ahead of Tuesday's FA Cup third-round replay against Middlesbrough (stream the match LIVE at 3:05 p.m. ET on ESPN+ in the U.S.): "Is this the best Christian Eriksen? I have to be honest and say no. I know the reasons, I'm not an idiot.
"A player in this situation, even if he wants -- and I am not criticising him... It's normal a player in this situation doesn't perform in the highest level. But he is helping us in matches he has played for us. He's had positive performances and contributions like against Olympiakos and Norwich."
Spurs take on Middlesbrough at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday and will potentially then have a fourth-round tie as well as Premier League fixtures against Watford and Norwich before the January transfer window closes.
"He plays tomorrow," Mourinho said of Eriksen. "After that I have a match on Saturday and he maybe plays on Saturday again. I cannot tell you much more than that."
Burley to Donny Van de Beek: Don't rush to Man United
Craig Burley thinks Donny van de Beek would be wise to stay at Ajax for the moment.
PAPER TALK (by Tom Fenton)
Atletico ready Lacazette as Cavani backup
Atletico Madrid are set to splash out for a new striker in the coming weeks. PSG forward Edinson Cavani is thought to be the Spanish giants' first choice but, according to Marca, Diego Simeone's second option might well be Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette.
Simeone is reportedly desperate to land a forward, but with PSG potentially keen to hold on to Cavani, other options such as Lacazette could now be assessed. The Spanish publication reports that the France international has hinted at his desire to move to the Wanda Metropolitano but has thus far failed to see a move materialise.
Should Atletico bid for the 28-year-old, it is likely that fellow Frenchman Thomas Lemar could be sent in the opposite direction, after enduring a torrid time in La Liga since arriving in 2018.
- When does the transfer window reopen?
- All major completed transfer deals
Van de Beek set for blockbuster summer move
Ajax fans might be forgiven for thinking that the pillaging of their major assets is finally over for the time being, but if Sky Sports News is to be believed, they might be about to lose yet another star man next summer.
Sky claims that Donny van de Beek is likely to leave Amsterdam, with the Premier League a possible destination. The Dutch playmaker has most recently been linked with the likes of Manchester United (via ESPN sources) and Real Madrid, following last season's heroics in the Champions League.
The 22-year-old is expected to remain at Ajax in the short term, despite claims that he could depart this month. However, it's certain that if the four-time European champions do eventually decide to sell, they will have an array of suitors waiting to snap him up.
Tap-ins
- After a disappointing spell at Leeds, youngster Jack Clarke is set to go out on loan once again -- this time at fellow Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers, reports Sky Sports News The outlet reports that a deal is imminent between the midfielder's parent club, Tottenham, and QPR, now managed by Mark Warburton.
- Southampton bosses are set to meet for a "transfer summit," with the future of Che Adams expected to be at the top of the agenda. Leeds Live claims that Ralph Hasenhuttl is meeting club chiefs in an attempt to map the future direction of the club, with a decision yet to be made regarding the immediate future of the in-demand Adams.
- Arsenal are one of several clubs monitoring teenage sensation Isaac Lihadji, La Provence reports. The 17-year-old winger plays for Marseille, but after he recently failed to agree a new deal with his employers, some of Europe's biggest clubs are now set to tussle for his signature.

The Upworthy styled headlines (e.g. "This Boy Does Something That'll Surprise You!") has given rise to click-baiting – i.e. misleading titles that appeal to human emotions and when you click, all you get to see is something really tangential or a drab piece.
With Facebook turning into a photo-book, Twitter still has a chance to plan out a new direction for itself – maybe @SavedYouAClick provides the right model. That is, focus on effective engagement/conversation more than driving CTR$ to publishers.
After all, the entire premise of social media was social first and media later – though the reverse has happened.
In fact, at NextBigWhat we started #ShortNews format of news coverage and the feedback/analytics on those reinforces my belief that the world needs more pointed pieces (140 char just works for anything that's worth saying) than long-form-articles-just-for-the-heck-of-it.
The business model of online content business needs to evolve, and that'll happen the day Google stops bending in front of large media houses (and their clickbaits) – for the inventory these publishers provide to Google.
Maybe, SavedYouAClick's initial success (adding more than 20K followers every day) is a good pointer to rethink the model and understand the changing taste of the audience?
What's your take? Aren't you sick of UpWorthy clones that just pop up "10 Reasons Why You'll Love This Video. #4 Made Me Cry" headlines every now and then?

Staining a deck? Tips that can help you out are included here, as well as help choosing the right stain.
Getting that deck ready for spring sometimes means a fresh new coat of stain. But there are so many variables that you might not know where to start. What products work the best? What factors play into choosing the best stain?
What are some mistakes that can turn your leisurely weekend of staining a wood deck into a homeowner's nightmare? Fortunately, we have the answers to get you ready for the task.
Start by seriously considering what you want in the end result. If you have gorgeous wood, you don't want to cover it up. That means a transparent stain is a good bet. There are also semi-transparent and semi-solid stains, which can still allow the wood to show through but add a bit of color as well. Solid stains are good for covering up serious faults with the wood, so if your deck has been around for decades and is starting to show its age, solid stains might be the answer.
When choosing a color, pay attention to the rest of your home. What color pulls the exterior together? What color is used on the trim, the shutters, or the doors? This can help you decide what color you want in your stain. For instance, a deck that sidles up to a home with plenty of blue might look great with a reddish stain for contrast.
Pavilion Wood Decking Exotic "Garapa" from BuildDirect.
Not sure about colors? Get a few color chips and tape them down to your deck. Look at them in various lighting throughout the next few days. Which ones looks best to you?
Start by making certain the deck is as clean as possible. You can use a pressure washer to make quick work of this, but you will also need to do some scrubbing by hand, as you want to avoid any areas that might make the stain uneven. A good cleaner is essential to combat mold and mildew.
Browse for deck cleaning solutions.
If you had a previous solid stain, use the duct tape test to determine whether you must remove the old stain before continuing. Simply make a light 'x' in the stain with a sharp blade (taking care not to cut into the wood). Apply duct tape firmly to the area and then rip it off. Does the stain flake away? If yes, you will have to invest in a stain remover and get rid of all that old stain before continuing.
Is there any area that feels rough or splintery? It's time for some sanding! You can do this on small areas by hand, but electric sanders are a good bet for a larger deck that has seen its share of wear. You want to have it as smooth as possible in order to get a nice, even stain.
Once the deck is completely clean and smooth, it's time to apply the stain. Using a natural bristle brush, start at the end of a board. Work methodically but quickly, keeping the leading edge wet to avoid lap marks. Start at an end of the deck that is used least often; this will allow you to perfect your technique on the first few boards without any glaring mistakes in the areas most people will notice.
Stain one or two boards at a time, working your way slowly across the deck. After working with a few boards, you should be able to easily judge how much stain you need on your brush in order to keep the look even throughout. At the end, even though the stain might look entirely set and dry, don't walk on it! Give it at least 24 hours to be certain, longer if you can.
Knowing when to stain is just as important as choosing the stain. You want to stain on a day when there isn't high humidity that will leave the stain wet for a long while, which isn't what you want. On the other hand, a day of very high temperatures can mean the stain dries very quickly, and that can lead to uneven penetration and a splotchy look.
As a general rule of thumb, only stain when there is no rain in the forecast, and the temperature is expected to stay steady between 50 and 80 degrees. If you happen to have good shade that moves across the deck during the day, plan your work so that the stain is put down in the shade. This will help avoid fast drying.
Finally, remember that less is not necessarily more. Though it might be tempting to add more than one coat with the idea that it will help protect the deck, applying too much actually just creates unsightly buildup. Always apply stain as directed on the packaging.

Humanity will soon be wallowing in its own wastes. The amount of garbage produced in the United States is the highest rate in the world, roughly twice as much per person as West Europeans and the Japanese. We are an extremely wasteful society. Currently, Americans produce over 208 millions tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) every year . That's about four-and-a-half pounds per day per man, woman, and child. And that number is growing. In just 3 years that number has grown by ten million tons.
These numbers are staggering. But the biggest problem, of course, is what we are going to do with all of this trash. Landfills in the U.S. have been closing at a rapid pace. We currently throw 53.3 percent of our trash into landfills which is only heightening their rate of closing. Between 1978 and 1988 14,000 (70 percent) of the United States?landfills closed. From 1988 to April of 1999 the total number of landfills dropped from a little over 8,000 to just 2,314. That means that about 20,000 landfills have closed in the past twenty years. Very few new landfills have been opened to take their places, partially because of stricter environmental regulations, and partially because of the NIMBY syndrome. This leaves one to ask, where is all of our trash going?
There are a couple of other options to the MSW disposal problem. Incineration has been growing in popularity over the past several years. Currently, the United States burns about sixteen percent of its garbage. Another choice we have is shipping it off to another state or country to dispose of. One may recall the "garbage barge incident?of 1987 in which a boat left New York City toting 3,000 tons of trash, sailed for 6,000 miles in search of a place to dump it, and was forced to return home with its entire load still onboard. Clearly, this disposal option is nearing its end as well.
The best solution to the problem is, of course, the three R's: Reduction, Reuse and Recycling. If the United States were to enforce a mandatory recycling program throughout the nation numerous problems would be solved. 85 to 90 percent of MSW could be recycled, ending our flood of waste. Recycling also is beneficial to the environment in multiple ways, is the cheapest known method of waste disposal, and is easy to implement. It is clearly the solution, the answer to our prayers.
Landfills seem to have become more of a hassle than they're worth. The state of Georgia has a mere 76 landfills remaining with an expected capacity of only ten years. Not only are they rapidly closing, but no one wants to own and operate them anymore because the job has become so difficult. In recent years the Environmental Protection Agency has pushed several new laws through Congress which regulate the operation of these trash heaps. It has been discovered that improperly sited, designed and operated landfills leak toxic leachates into our groundwater, which, if not controlled and prevented, can poison our drinking water and devastate the local environment. In 1964 a dump in Memphis, Tennessee contaminated the waters of the Mississippi River, causing a fish kill that stretched all the way down to New Orleans. New laws aim to prevent this type of thing, and landfill operators are now required to maintain their sites for thirty years after they reach capacity to be certain that these deadly chemicals do not leak out. This is a major reason that new landfills are not being formed; no one wants to have to pay the enormous costs that creating a new, regulation landfill creates.
In addition to the environmental problem of water pollution, there are also several other problems which landfills bring to an area. There is a constant presence of animals; rats, insects, raccoons, birds, and numerous other kinds of vermin feast on human waste. Because landfills are often constructed near airports, the birds can be a threat to human life. In October of 1960 a turbo-prop plane crashed, killing sixty-two passengers, because it flew through a flock of birds which were flying over the nearby landfill.
Finally, another enormous environmental threat that landfills create is that of air pollution. Between the one-and-a-half million gallons of gasoline used every year by the vehicles used to haul the garbage, and the emissions created from the decomposing wastes, landfills are among the top five polluters of our air. They created over 2.1 million tons of carbon monoxide in 1982 (2.9 percent of the total), 1,200 pounds of organic compounds (3.3 percent), 800 pounds of particulates (5.3 percent), and 200 pounds of nitrogen oxides (0.5 percent.) These numbers are likely to have risen since then.
Incinerators are capable of reducing solid waste by as much as 90 percent. Some simply burn the garbage, cool the ash, and then haul it to a landfill for final disposal. Others do this, and also recover the heat energy to generate steam and electricity. While this may seem like a great deal economically, any way you look at it incineration is extremely harmful to the environment.
While recycling has grown in general, recycling of specific materials has grown even more drastically: 42 percent of all paper, 35.5 percent of all plastic soft drink bottles, 59.5 percent of all aluminum beer and soft drink cans, 61 percent of all steel packaging, 92 percent of all automobiles, and 64.3 percent of all major appliances are now recycled.
If we were to reach a slightly higher rate (35 percent) carbon dioxide emissions would be reduced by 13.2 million tons. That's the equivalent of removing eight million cars from the roads.
The recycling we are doing has a huge impact on the environment and the waste disposal problem. For each ton of paper that is recycled, we save seventeen trees, 6,953 gallons of water, 463 gallons of oil, 587 pounds of air pollution, 3.06 cubic yards of landfill space, and 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy. In 1996 Americans recycled 42.3 million tons of paper. One ton of newspaper is worth $77. The business of recycling can be very lucrative.
Aluminum cans are the most frequently recycled wastes; almost two-thirds of cans are recycled. In 1993 that meant 59.5 billion cans. Making a new can from an old one uses 95 percent less energy and creates 95 percent less air pollution than mining bauxite ore and creating brand new aluminum. The recycled product can be back on the shelf, refilled in ninety days.
Glass is recycled at a rate of about 38 percent. Unlike some other recyclables, glass can be reused forever. We save over a ton of resources for every ton recycled, and glass production air pollution rates are cut by 14 to 20 percent. Energy use is also cut by about 25 percent.
Plastic is slightly more difficult to recycle because of the multiple types. It must be properly sorted for it to be worth anything after processing. Only about 20 percent of the nation's plastics are recycled, leaving almost twenty million tons of plastic in the MSW. Plastics currently make up about 10 percent of what we throw away by weight, and 20 percent by volume.
Twenty years ago, only one curbside recycling program existed in the United States, which collected several materials at the curb. By 1997, 9,000 curbside programs and 12,000 recyclable drop-off centers had sprouted up across the nation. As of 1997, 380 materials recovery facilities had been established to process the collected materials.
Several states and communities have reached rates of recycling much higher than the national average. One school system consisting of eighteen schools in northwest Georgia created a program that placed separate bins by every trashcan for different recyclables. Within one year they reduced their waste by 58 percent. A pilot program in East Hampton, New York achieved a recycling rate of 84 percent. Wisconsin banned nearly 100 percent of recyclable materials from entering its landfills in 1995. In Seattle, the threat of the city's only landfill closing caused the government to create a "pay as you throw?program for waste, charging residents by the weight of their garbage. Partially because of this, and partially because of increased efforts to recycle, the city reached approximately a 60 percent rate in 1998. It is clearly a feasible goal for the U.S. to expect more from its people. A 100 percent recycling rate nation wide may seem crazy now, but it may be easier than one would think.
Under the right circumstances, not only can recycling be cheaper than other means of waste disposal, it can also be profitable. It is estimated that incinerating one ton per day costs between $100,000, and $150,000. Recycling is estimated to cost only $10,000 to $15,000, and composting between $15,000 and $20,000 per ton. The money the government could save by increasing these more environmentally sound methods is phenomenal. According to John E. Young in his paper, "Discarding the Throwaway Society?
Rough calculations using conservative figures for capital costs reveal that an $8 billion investment in additional incinerators could allow the United States to burn one-fourth of its projected solid waste output in the year 2000, whereas the same sum spent on recycling and composting facilities could provide enough additional capacity to handle three-fourths of the nation's garbage that year.
Not only is recycling a cheaper option, it can also pay for itself and then some. The city of Portland, Oregon actually makes about $160,000 annually by recycling some of its wastes. This is achieved by selling collected, sorted and processed materials to manufacturing companies. Portland is lucky that it has found consumers for its recycled material. The biggest problem, the main reason that we have not already switched to intensive recycling nationally, is the lack of demand for these materials. The demand is not there because the price of these reused materials is higher than that of virgin materials. And the reason for this is the subsidies provided by the government to producers of virgin materials.
For decades the government has given money to miners and loggers in order to help keep these industries alive and the prices of their products down for consumers. Yet, for whatever reason, the government has neglected to create similar subsidies for the recycling industry as it has grown. Because of this, prices for recycled materials are higher, and therefore demand is lower, and sometimes recovered materials have to be sent to landfills or incinerators to make room for the new materials being collected. This is a sad cycle, but until the government creates similar subsidies recycling will not seem financially attractive to the general public.
It makes perfect sense for the government to create a mandatory program for recycling. If it waits too much longer it's going to have to anyway. Before long, all landfills will be closed, we will not have anywhere else to ship our garbage, and incinerators will be blackening our air and poisoning our water. Why not get a headstart on something will have no option on in a few years?
There are four main methods of recycling: curbside pick-up, drop-off centers, buy-back centers, and deposit and refund programs. Each of these methods has been successful in different parts of the country, and each is fairly simple to implement. All it is going to take is a little bit of effort by the government and by the people.
The first step is, of course, funding and subsidizing. The government needs to shift some of its funds to recycling programs. In 1987 New York's Newsday found state governments had spent 39 times as much on incineration as on recycling. These figures need to be reversed. In addition, subsidies similar to those provided for virgin materials need to be implemented for recycled materials in order to make them economically competitive.
Once enough facilities, enough demand for the materials, and strict laws requiring citizens to separate their trash have all been created, and the people have been educated, the rest will fall into place. Several communities already have mandatory programs and have reached recycling rates of 90 percent or more.
The federal government needs to take immediate action on this matter. Making recycling mandatory will not only solve the problem of consistently increasing solid waste, but it will have enormous benefits for the environment, and will either cost less or maybe even make money for the government. The times are changing, the situation is growing desperate, and the government needs to do something about it. >Recycling is the perfect solution.

Edmonton to receive $878 million for transit projects under federal-provincial deal

Edmonton's transit system is receiving a healthy boost thanks to a cash injection from the federal government.
Federal, provincial and city officials held a news conference Tuesday at the Edmonton Transit Centennial Garage where they announced Alberta's $3.3-billion share of Ottawa's $33-billion infrastructure fund will go towards transit, green infrastructure, recreation and other needs in the next 10 years.

The money represents Phase 2 of the infrastructure fund first promised in the 2015 federal election. It's the first time the public has seen Alberta-specific numbers and details of how those dollars will be matched by the province.
The funding breaks down to $2.1 billion for public transit, $1 billion for green infrastructure, $140 million for community and recreation and $160 million for rural and northern communities.
It's enough to get Edmonton's west LRT built, plus contribute to other transit priorities. That includes helping downtown Edmonton convert to district energy and investing in electric buses, said Mayor Don Iveson after the formal contract was signed between Alberta Infrastructure Minister Sandra Jansen and federal Infrastructure and Communities Minister Amarjeet Sohi.
"I have been hoping for a day like this for a long time," said Sohi, who left his role as an Edmonton city councillor in part to work for long-term, predictable infrastructure funding for communities.
That contract is government to government, Iveson said. It's not tied to a specific political party being in office the entire 10 years.
"This is why long-term commitments are so important," he said. "Once you have an agreement with the Crown, essentially, to fund a given project, even if it's 10 years to build it, that agreement is binding as governments come and go."

"It is important for us to lock in these agreements before next year's elections, both provincial and federal, and I'm confident we can do it, at least for Valley Line west and maybe for some of our other medium-term priorities."
Only the transit funding has been allocated to specific cities. Edmonton's share is $878 million, based on ridership. Calgary gets $1.01 billion. The specific amounts for other smaller centres with public transit will be announced later this week.
Iveson also celebrated the way Ottawa and the province has backed each other's commitments.
The federal government will fund up to 40 per cent of any new project, up to 50 per cent of renewal projects. Alberta is committed to funding a minimum 33 per cent on these transit projects, said Jansen.
Iveson said the city is still negotiating with the province on that number, hoping for a cost-sharing formula of 40-40-20, to recognize the lower fiscal capacity of cities and the fact they cover all maintenance and operating costs.
Jansen said the money will be allocated to give "maximum benefit for Alberta" rather than being signed over to the first municipalities with a pitch.
"There is no rush," she said. "This is a 10-year program."

"Cities are where it all comes together," says @doniveson, saying big cities across the country can now plan ahead for major projects and support development.
It also is a fair balance, a "welcome shift" to all governments investing together. pic.twitter.com/Z9tzvtMTxu
Alberta is pledging to cover at least 33% of LRT cost, says @doniveson. "Our discussions are not finished yet."#yegcc #yegtransit #ableg https://t.co/sjqYcDTAfx


If you're looking to up your vegetable and fruit intake, smoothies and smoothie bowls are a one-stop-shop for starting your day with 2-4 servings. Smoothies can sometimes veer into all-fruit combos, which are delicious, but can have way more sugar than we necessarily want first thing in the morning. One key way to keeping your blood sugar balanced is by adding more vegetables (along with a little protein and fat) and slightly less fruit into the mix. The vegetables add fiber, vitamins, and minerals to mitigate those natural sugars, while adding plenty of antioxidants too.
The downside of adding more vegetables to the mix is that they can mess with the sweet and creamy vibes that make a smoothie great. To avoid things getting too vegetal here are some essential tips for packing your morning smoothie with vegetables without sacrificing flavor.
The best way to make nutrient-dense vegetables more palatable and less noticeable in smoothies is to freeze them. I use frozen spinach in almost all my smoothies. Frozen and extremely cold foods have a duller flavor, so use this to your advantage — some of the vegetables mentioned below go virtually undetected when frozen.
Another great perk of using frozen foods is that they're often cheaper than fresh (even for organic) and are picked at their peak ripeness, meaning that they retain most of their vital nutrients. So stock your freezer with the following frozen veg and you're halfway there.
Everyone knows these two, right? I recommend buying organic frozen chopped spinach and kale and keeping a few bags on hand. When combined with a little sweetness, you can get away with 1 to 2 cups of the green stuff without it being too in-your-face.
For something bright and refreshing, I love spinach, banana, matcha powder, ginger, and lemon blended with water or coconut water for a super energizing morning elixir.
This one is my current fave. Courgette is harder to find in the frozen food section, so I buy fresh, cut into small chunks and freeze on a parchment-lined tray. Once frozen, I transfer them to a bag to dig into all week.
When frozen it's completely tasteless but still packed with vitamin C and potassium, and lends a creaminess when blended.
Try adding ½ cup chopped and frozen courgette in a blend with some spinach, pineapple, banana, and coconut milk for a green piña colada vibe.
Frozen cauliflower is an amazing way to bulk up your smoothies with cruciferous vegetables (the same family as broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cabbage — all of which are high in vitamins A and C, folic acid, and fibre), without any overpowering taste. They also mimic the creaminess of bananas when blended well, making them perfect for thicker smoothie bowls. Just be sure to drink it within a half hour of blending, as its natural sulfur flavor can come out at room temp.
Try blending ½ cup chopped and frozen cauliflower with a cup of blueberries, a quarter of an avocado, almond milk, almond butter, vanilla powder or extract, and cinnamon for a creamy and nutritionally amazing smoothie.
A great way to save avocados that are slightly overripe? Freeze them or pop them into a smoothie as is. Their creaminess is unparalleled and their healthy fats are one of the essential components to creating a satisfying smoothie that will keep you full till lunchtime. You don't need a lot to reap the benefits, anywhere from one quarter to a half of an avocado is great.
Go for a tropical green blend with a combination of avocado, spinach, mango, banana, and basil.
These nutritionally-dense superstars bring all the antioxidant benefits of leafy greens, plus they add beautiful, bright flavor. Some easy additions include parsley, basil, and mint.
Combine fresh mint leaves with coconut milk, dates, cacao, avocado, and courgette for a veggie-packed mint chocolate treat.
These guys are tricky, but it's totally possible to add beets to smoothie and not have it taste all beet-y. These don't need to be frozen either, one small (or half a medium) steamed or roasted and peeled beet straight out of the fridge is fine.
Complement their sweet and earthy flavor with the sweetness of strawberries, coconut milk or yogurt, vanilla, zucchini, almond butter, and a splash of lemon juice to give everything a lift.
I'm talking about foods and spices that aren't fruit, but provide a natural sweetness without a ton of sugar. These allow you to use less fruit, while still providing the sweet flavor that will mask even the darkest of greens.
Vanilla powder or a pure vanilla extract: Start with a very small amount and work up from there. Extracts in particular can overpower a smoothie.
Cinnamon: It helps balance blood sugar, too.
Cardamom: Another small doses add-in, potent and delicious paired with cinnamon.
Coconut milk: Naturally creamy and slightly sweet, coconut milk also provides the healthy fat component in a smoothie. Look for cans of organic, guar gum-free coconut milk (ideally, the only ingredients should be coconut and water). The texture can be thick, so I combine 1 400mL can with 250mL of filtered water and keep it in a jar in my fridge to use throughout the week. I start with a half a cup in smoothie bowls and add a little water as needed to blend.
And don't forget to mix the vegetables, herbs, and spices with your fruit favourites to create flavour combinations you love. I try to aim for 1 to 2 servings of fruit per smoothie.
Thanks for your write up on mistake people make on healthy eating. My question is this,using slightly overripe avocado and dates to make smoothy tasty trigger diarrhoea for individuals that are susceptible?
It really just depends on your individual body and constitution. Knowing yourself and the way foods make you feel is one of the most important part of wellness for me.
I've never tried it, but give it a shot!

Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall
By Kazuo Ishiguro
Read by Mark Bramhall , Kirby Heyborne , Lincoln Hoppe , and Simon Vance
Kazuo Ishiguro Random House Audio
From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes an inspired sequence of stories as affecting as it is beautiful. With the clarity and precision that have become his trademarks, Kazuo Ishiguro interlocks five short pieces of fiction to create a world that resonates with emotion, heartbreak, and humor. Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage; a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany.

"Expressive and harmonic, delicate yet substantive…[A] true virtuoso performance." —Christian Science Monitor
"In both craft and substance Nocturnes reveals a master at work." —Seattle Times
"Tight and assured…Suffused with sympathy." —Time
"These stories recall Ishiguro's best known novel, The Remains of the Day…By now it is clear that this exquisite stylist is serious in his pursuit of a minimal—perhaps even universal—mode of expression for the emotional experiences that define our lives as human." —Times (London)
"Superb…A deceptively plain and easy style that rides on the surfaces of manners and decorous behavior." —Providence Journal
"A brilliant new book…Art, its dangers, its pains, and its gaiety [are] all topics seriously considered in this accomplished book." —London Review of Books
"Each of these stories is heartbreaking in its own way, but some have moments of great comedy, and they all require a level of attention that, typically, Ishiguro's writing rewards." —Observer (London)
"These stories come up on you quietly, but then haunt you for days." —Evening Standard (London)
"Ishiguro blends musical concepts with their literary counterparts in his latest work, and Nocturnes has the…quality of a song cycle with recurring themes and motifs developed in different prose keys." —Bookmarks

Aimé Césaire je stanice pařížského metra na lince 12. Prostor stanice se nachází severně od Paříže ve městě Aubervilliers na křižovatce ulic Avenue Victor Hugo a Boulevard Félix Faure poblíž vodního kanálu. Stanice je umístěna v podzemí mezi stanicí Front Populaire zprovozněnou v roce 2012, a stanicí Mairie d'Aubervilliers, která byla otevřena v roce 2022.

Název
V původním projektu se stanice jmenovala Pont de Stains podle názvu nedalekého mostu, který vede přes Canal Saint-Denis. Po smrti martinického básníka a politika Aimé Césaira v roce 2008 navrhl starosta města Drancy pojmenovat současnou stanici Front populaire na jeho počest. Společnost RATP však vyžaduje, aby hodonyma stanic vycházela z pomístních názvů. Stanice získala nový název Aimé Césaire, když byl 6. července 2008 pojmenován přilehlý park Aimé Césaira.

Nancy, I love your list! Sorry that I am so behind on my reading that I'm just catching up now. You and I are kindred spirits in our love of Apple products, olive oil, white china, and Skinny Pop. My husband and I are taking our first trip to Italy early next year so I will be sure to get some pointers and useful phrases from you. I'm tickled that my post inspired you gals to join in!
Mo – I would love to talk with you about Italy. My husband and I and whole family go to Italy every three years (at least) to travel around the country and then visit with our relatives who live in Lecce on the South Adriatic.. My mother in law is a war bride from World War II. Also I am half Italian. We are crazy about Italy. Your posts ALWAYS inspire me!

Grackles: Queen and Slim
Grackles review Queen and Slim
Directed by Melina Matsuokas
Reviewed by Scott Ray and Charlie Riccardelli
In Queen & Slim, Melina Matsuokas makes her feature film debut following the titular characters on a cross-country run on the lam as they are forced to evade the law after killing a police officer in self-defense during a traffic stop gone wrong. This wildly ambitious feature manages to update the classic getaway film and also seriously examines police violence towards people of color in America, while simultaneously taking the time to delicately track the doomed budding romance between the two title characters. This is Matsuokas's first feature film, though she is the director of more than 30 music videos and recipient of two Grammy's and four VMA's.
The story begins with Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) on a first date that isn't going very well. If things had gone differently, there probably wouldn't have been a second date. When Slim is pulled over on the way home for dubious reasons, the traffic stop quickly spirals out of control, ending with Slim defending his and Queen's life by killing the officer. From there, Queen and Slim hit the road, heading for New Orleans and beyond hoping to evade the law by any means necessary.
Scott Ray: I love a film with a good, long, cold open. I like it when the cold open is so long I forget we haven't seen the title card yet. The first one I think of is Raising Arizona, but I think the opening to this film ranks right up there with it. I especially enjoy a cold open where things keep getting worse and worse and when the title card finally appears the gravity of what's occurred to the characters makes it even more difficult to contemplate how the characters can possibly proceed. Everything that sets the film in motion happens in that cold open, the decisions Queen and Slim had no part in and the ones that they did.
The film looks and sounds fantastic. You can feel Matsuokas's music video chops all through the film. The music choices are great and the visuals are always dynamic—the movie poster itself is a good preview of the visual choices Matsuokas makes throughout. Visually, it's a movie of contrasts. Wide open rural expanses juxtaposed with crowded, brightly painted New Orleans houses. The emptiness of the road in contrast with a loud and sweaty Georgia juke joint. Dark nights and bright lights. And Matsuokas shows the road and the landscape constantly. It's a road movie after all. The film loves to show the cars moving through rustic locales, away from the camera, towards the camera.
Charlie Riccardelli: Because she has such an accomplished background as a filmmaker, Matsuokas sidesteps a lot of the pitfalls that typically snare first-time directors, especially when it comes to trusting the visuals and an economy of storytelling. Queen & Slim takes place in vignettes as our heroes travel across the country meeting people, and many of those scenes have a kick to them because Matsuokas strings them together like little interconnected short stories that say as much about the people Queen and Slim encounter as it does them. You have Queen's pimp uncle Earl (Bokeem Woodbine) who's suffering from mental trauma since the war, the black youth who takes some extreme lessons from the outlaws' actions, or even a clerk at a gas station who moons over the sensation he feels when holding Slim's gun.
Partway through the film, Earl refers to Queen and Slim as the 'black Bonnie and Clyde", and that's no casual association. This movie lifts its sweaty romanticism and overcasting dread from Arthur Penn's 1967 masterpiece, especially in how the outlaws are similarly informed by how they exist almost nontemporal from the world around them. Like Bonnie and Clyde, Queen & Slim has refashioned what could have been another genre exercise and infused it with this luscious style that I got lost in.
SR: The road movie aspects are what the film does best. It doesn't hurt that both the lead performers do a great job with the material they're given, which at times could be a tall order. I thought sometimes the dialogue called attention to the film's feelings of its own grandiosity. At times, when climactic things were happening on the screen, the writing seemed to reach for heights it might not need to. Sometimes, when the music swelled, it seemed that perhaps the writer (Lena Waithe in her first feature screenplay) was imaging the words on billboards. The day to day, slice of life interactions between the characters seemed natural, but at more dramatic moments I could be pulled out of the film. Perhaps this is a case of the film trying to do too much.
CR: Queen & Slim certainly did too much for me. I was locked into the film throughout its first half, but the movie does dilute its power as it moves further into its 132-minute running time. To the filmmakers' credit, they swing for the fences politically in a way that many modern movies are usually half-hearted about at best. Queen & Slim tackles racial violence by the police, Black Lives Matter, and the general politics of race in America. All of these are worthy to weave into the narrative, but I think they moved distractingly beyond the central relationship. I kept thinking of a the wonderful The Hate U Give from last year that so eloquently weaved together these elements, but it kept the story zeroed in on its teen hero. Queen & Slim tells so many stories that the film concludes at least three times trying to wrap up its lofty choices.
SR: I think the scenario that serves as the impetus for the road-movie, on the run element of this film is imminently interesting and filled with good tension—the characters are put in an awful situation and they get out the only way they can. In showing that scenario, revolving around a racist traffic cop who immediately escalates violence instead of being an official who protects and serves, the film highlights a very American problem that desperately needs to be talked about. It covers this issue in a nuanced way—when it stays focused on the characters of Queen and Slim.
The film falters when it breaks perspective. We begin the film tightly focused on the two title characters, and it stays that way for much of the film. Bonnie and Clyde didn't keep its perspective completely focused on its title characters, but when it deviated it did so for purposes of advancing the plot. When Queen and Slim breaks perspective it is usually reaching for emotional payoff. The film would be more effective if it focused on just the story it set out telling.

Updating this for the new game since the chat is happening here, thanks for the prod BushPilot.
I just can't stand zombies (the legit freak me out), but I'd probably be down for striking down some skaven scumm in the name of the God Emperor.
Looks more like Dead Island with skaven instead of zombies to me.
Just picked this up tonight and am playing the pre-order beta (because I'm a Warhammer sucker). One hour in, I'm liking it, but would like it better with some GWJers to play with. When you all pick it up, friend me up and let's do this thing!
I can't afford this but I bought it anyway with judicious use of Steam credit from trade-ins at retailers, sold Steam cards and pawned TF2 items. The lesson here being: you put Skaven in it, I'll find a way to buy it. I'll sell organs if I have to. Mine, other people's, I'm not picky.
Should definitely be down for some multiplayer at some point, depending on how well the game handles moon ping.
Just played my first game. That was pretty awesome. I'm still not sure exactly what I'm doing, but I think I was reasonably effective as Bardin, using my shield to block choke points and knock the Skaven around.
Its pretty damn awesome - I'm Razgon on steam (Surprise!) in case anyone wants to play!
Played one game and really dug it using the Waywatcher. Can't wait to try the other classes out and the rest of the maps! The atmosphere is great and love it that the Skaven flood in different ways ie through the roof, climbing walls, through holes etc.. good times!
The L4D vibe is very strong, right down to the green highlighting of your companions when they are out of sight, rescuing downed companions, special Skavens like the Ogre, horde rushes, and getting healthpacks and ammo. I like the tome mechanic, because it puts pressure on you to minimize carrying around health.
Like the light leveling and loot too. Its a bit of technical mess, with long loads, and i've had a few crashes. UI and the meta-structure is straight out of 2000. It some how reminds me of the Vampire: The masquerade RPG.
I did have it crash on me after I completed a mission, said something about failing to load loot and gave me a quit to desktop button and no other option.
Still, forgivable for it still being in beta, and the actual gameplay is incredibly fun. I actually quite like the UI, it's really simple and easy to read, which seems important considering how damn chaotic the game can get in intense moments, just like Left 4 Dead. Looking forward to digging in to this more when I have a few hours to spend on it.
It's really a L4D vibe as mentioned above. I love how if you get separated, there is a greater risk with Skaven assassins or the ones that throw a rope around your neck and pull you away to the massive rat ogres. Really fun so far!
I've had teammates strung up in a hangmans noose, with a band of skaven running around him gleefully - pretty detailed and strong stuff in this game! Loving it quite a bit so far, but need more levels, which of course it will release with.
Also, PLEASE give me my Warrior Priest of Sigmar. Thanks!
Just picked this up as well. $27. Feel free to add me.
They permanently take 25% of your health cap per grimoire.
You can discard them by equipping them and then attacking, which will give you your health cap back. For this reason, I recommend against using the mouse wheel to change weapons - it is very, very easy to discard the grim and lose it permanently.
In four Normal runs this afternoon, I scored an excellent blue shotgun and blue great axe, and my dps basically doubled.
You can totally cheese the Magnus Tower. After you blow the horn, run down the left side of the horn, crouch, and crawl underneath. The Skaven can hit you if you're near the edge, but you won't get overwhelmed and you can shoot and swing out from underneath. The only thing you have to watch for is gas - it'll kill you down there in a hurry.
Smuggler's run doesn't have tomes or grims, and Supply and Demand only has tomes as far as I know - so the majority of runs will be Magnus due to the loot situation.
Also, Hard difficulty is ... really hard.
Thanks for the tome & grimoire explanation. The game doesn't make an attempt to teach you.
Fun game. I'm not sure how much motivation I'll have to run the same maps over and over but there does seem to be variation from run to run and I'll withhold judgement when all the maps are in the game.
I hate cheesing in games like this, and already there are people who will kick you if you don't want to use the horn tactics - so damn annoying.
Yeah I totally see a patch coming for that.
This is a lot of fun --- totally surprising how much of the game is a good solid improvement on L4D's meta game ...by having a meta game.
All that needs to be ironed out is stability, I think.
I have had zero crashes so far in 4 hours play. I see you have had crashes in an earlier post, is that during the game or loading?
I was having a ton of crashes. I mean entire machine locked-up crashes. Had to lower settings to "medium". Seems a bit better now.
No crashes here, I'm playing on medium.
The runs are reasonably different, primarily in the placement of the ogre and the sturmvermin, the two really tough obstacles. They can go really bad - once we ended up getting not one but two gas rats during an ogre fight. I've also successfully avoided the sturmvermin twice.
What encourages me about this is that they are going to have thirteen maps to start, which if they are all as big as Magnus will represent significantly more map variety than L4D.
My crashes seem mostly to do with MP hosting and connecting. Once in a game I'm fine.
Servers are still down. Seems someone hacked their servers and wrecked a bunch of stuff.
Are they not just prepping for the real release Friday?
No, they mentioned unauthorized access to their backend servers and having to go to backup servers. Servers are up now. They also included a 4th beta map.
OoOoo. But I won't have time til the actual release. Who do people like play OK bg the most?
I feel like sienna gives the most flexibility in play style.
I've been getting quite a few crashes these days. Seems like 3 out of 5 games will crash and send you back to the start of the level. Very frustrating.
Sienna seems like the most interesting play style. If she overheats, you can use her as a suicide bomber. Just make sure someone's around to pick you back up again.
So I dipped and I'm really impressed with this game! So far the bright wizard is my favorite. Just love the flame affects as you light everything up.
Does this game have perks, character leveling, etc like Evolve or is it static like L4D?
