Smoqued replacing closing Beach Pit BBQ
Beach Pit BBQ in Old Towne Orange is closing and will be replaced by a California fusion 'cue eatery conceived by a competition circuit pitmaster.
"We are going to take the great tradition of barbecue and use it in different ways," said Ryan Chester, executive pitmaster at Smoqued BBQ in Orange.
The new concept, developed by four investors including Chester, will start renovating the location in August. The full-service restaurant will serve craft beer and smoked meats prepared in various ways that reflect the region's cultures, Chester said. For example, he's serving meats in steamed Chinese buns and tortillas for tacos.
Beach Pit, which opened in the historic downtown in late 2009, is closing before Aug. 1. An exact closing date was not provided. Smoqued is taking over soon after.
As dining competition in the historic community increased, Beach Pit's fast-casual menu was no longer the right fit for the area, Beach Pit owner Tim DeCinces said of his reason for vacating the Old Towne Orange site.
"We weren't really hitting the mark with the foodies and date night crowd," DeCinces said.
With the closure of the Orange location, DeCinces comes full circle. At the peak of his brand's growth, he had locations in Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Tustin, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Orange and food stands at Angel Stadium.
He has since closed all locations except the original first two in Costa Mesa and Tustin.
With the closure in Orange, DeCinces said he plans to "reinvest" resources in his other locations, especially the newly rebranded Tustin Roadhouse in Old Town Tustin.
"We are sad to be leaving but happy the location will be in good hands. I'm excited to visit Smoqued myself," he said.
Stay tuned for more details on Smoqued BBQ. The owners hope to open in time for the city's Orange International Street Fair, which is held every Labor Day weekend in Old Towne Orange.

Lung cancer has many forms, depending on which particular gene functions incorrectly. Our moon shot's GEMINI project is on a mission to find these cancer-driving mutations for every subset of lung cancer patients — even those seen in only 1 or 2 percent of lung cancers. Using the latest technologies for tumor profiling, the team is finding targets and then identifying a drug that shuts down each one. One of our recent discoveries, made possible through private philanthropy and federal funding, focuses on a trio of lung cancer subsets characterized by mutations in a gene called KRAS. These findings have led to MD Anderson's participation in a national research collaboration propelled by major funding from the Stand Up to Cancer organization.
Other lifesaving research involves combining targeted treatments and immunotherapies that hinder DNA repair mechanisms in cancer cells damaged by treatments. We're using this approach in our studies of small cell lung cancer. While uncommon among lung cancers (accounting for fewer than 15%), small cell malignancies are diagnosed in more than 33,000 people in the U.S. alone each year.
Your support helps us get the research data we need to compete successfully for more funding and bring new treatments to patients. Give now.
Progress Update
Finding answers in therapies for other cancers
As the Lung Cancer Moon Shot aims to find drugs that target every cancer-driving molecular aberration, using agents already approved for other cancers may significantly speed the process. For example, we've identified two existing drugs that show striking results in preclinical studies of non-small cell lung cancers (NSLC) with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor Exon 20. To date, there has been no drug effective against this rare cancer subtype which strikes about 3,400 patients annually. The moon shot team is working with drug companies to move these findings to patients via clinical trials.

I almost never want to ride, unless it's night and I'm fidgety. I wake up and my bed is… delicious. Just stay put, my pillows whisper.
But there was a lot of sun out and a job calling and the promise of an afternoon ride home. So I went.
And it was beautiful. I remembered, again, why I ride. Despite the big hill, despite my own inertia. Because it feels great. Because there's nothing like the bike to bring out my best. Because I like moving, the feeling of rubber against asphalt. Because I like the camaraderie of the route, the death-defiance, my heart racing, my senses focused to micro-noticing. Because traveling is about being at one's most alive.

Taken at face value if someone had asked me if I thought Datsyuk would head back to Russia after his contract expires, at the age he'll be then (and the state of the team at the time), I'd strongly lean toward yes. Ultimately the state of the team is going to weigh heavily on that decision: if the team makes move(s) necessary to keep the team as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender the "loyalty" card to do something like Lidstrom's play-it-by-year contract re-signings seems to be a strong possibility.
But the status quo of the last couple of seasons? Happy trails, Pavel, and enjoy the company of your daughter. Couldn't ask for more from him.

We all love Levenger products due to tehir high quality and great looks and we turn to Levenger first to meet our many varied needs.

This review is solely on the leather and not the functionality of the folio. I will try to be as nice as possible since I am very upset that this will be a gift for my significant other. The top imperfections I'll cover on are by order of when I first opened up the box and noticed:1. "Dullness" and "uneven-ness" of the leather: Front top left has flat, NOT full-grain pebbled patch2. Uneven Monogram name and overall look of it3. SCRATCH marks (!)If there was not a monogram stamped, I would think it was a used product given to me as a gift.1. I was displeased with the overall LOOK of the leather. The commercial photos seem to have a more glossy/moisturized look to the leather but when I opened the box, I was surprised with how lackluster the leather looked. Worst of all, the front top left of the leather had a weird patch that wasn't "full-grain and pebbled" therefore the front doesn't have that uniform/unison pebbled-leather look. In addition, that's not the only "flat" parts of the folio. It is throughout the binder (not sure of the name) part of the folio (If you open the folio out completely, it is the very middle part where the rings would be located). Basically, it looks as if the whole folio has been kept in a shelf with other books, and over time has flatten out the grain/pebbled look. I understand this happens to leather over time, but not when it should be a brand new item. None the less, I will add that the leather is soft.2. To me, the monogram full name just looks very dull but I will be forgiving of this imperfection, however, it is uneven :( The monogram is supposed to be a nice added touch, and it just wasn't. It's just more of an "engraving" I mistakenly saw the photos to have a gold-spec finish to it, and it does not. I am planning to go to an arts/craft store to buy gold paint so I can finish the look and hopefully, try to give it an even look.3. When I opened the package, the front was the first thing I saw and the above comments were based on that. Might I add, I noticed a scratch on the front but I was more worried about the weird flat patch on the top left and throughout the binder part of the folio. When I finally grabbed it out of the box to inspect it all over, I couldn't believe it but there were scratches all over the folio. Most prominent was the back-- including 2 random indents which isn't very noticeable but you can feel it.Overall, I'm just flabbergasted at the poor handling of this item especially after reading all the positive reviews and seeing that it's coming from a sophisticated company. I mean, wouldn't they take extra precautions to handle something that's prone to marks? :(I don't plan to return this item because it already has my honey's full name monogramed, and I fly out of town next week for 3 weeks so he'd have to open this gift (Christmas) before I fly out. I'm sure the overall QUALITY and FUNCTIONALITY of this product will last but it's just a bummer to have to open a brand new item with all these imperfections.I've attached the maximum # (2) of photos allowed. I would post all the ones I took since I just can't believe how many imperfections there are. I don't think the photos taken by my iphone do a good job with the details but you can still see them.

Very pleased with this purchase
By DougNYCT60
from New York, NY
This is a handsome and well-crafted product. Very practical and pleasing to the senses. The pebbled leather on this product is excellent and the item is practical and a great size (I have the Junior size). I use it daily and am very pleased with this purchase. It exceeded my expectations.
Top Quality
By Dajavu2
from Undisclosed
I buy the bomber jacket binders for the incoming executive level Directors and VPs that I support. These binders are the best quality binders currently on the market. I've purchased other brands and they don't last long because of the wear and tear they receive when the executives travel all the time with them. But the bomber jacket binders are built to last and they look and feel good.
Excellent quality, and iPad Air fits!
By AustinRC
from Northfield, MN
The quality of the leather and of the finish and details on this are amazing; it's a beautiful and functional item. Plus, I was very pleased to discover that an iPad Air in a Smart Case fits perfectly inside the Junior sized folio; it lets me bring everything I need to meetings in a single item. I highly recommend this!
By Michaelnyc
I purchased three of these folios as graduation presents. I find the leather beautiful with sturdy stitching and craftsmanship. The interior is both elegant and chic, and the entire folio has a sophisticated and professional look to it. It makes for a wonderful gift.

I keep this in my car with my stealth stylus/pen combo. All graph pages (my preference). I have the junior style. It is the perfect notebook to take in to last minute meetings. It looks like you planned to be there. I've also used it with my iPad mini in side, it fits perfectly.
Cool, awsome and practical
By fiddles
from Austin, Texas
I like this folio because it is very practical and light weight. It fits into my briefcase and is easy to use.. I am finally keeping better track of my stuff and this folio makes me use my time efficiently. I am not constantly "hunting" for the paper with the important information on it., I recommend it .
Very disappointed
By iapsych
I was excited when this arrived, only to have my excitement dampened when I opened the box. I was immediately hit with the strong smell of mildew, which permeated the box and folio. I wanted to return but read that if monogrammed it could not be returned. So it now sits in a bag with baking soda hoping to salvage my expensive but useless product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love this Bomber Jacket Circa Zip Folio!
By Collega
Finally got it together--all of my work items in one place, and nothing slips out since it's all zipped up!The quality of the leather is butter soft and it has a gorgeous, rich color. The lining is stylish and presents clean, fun interior. Hoping the zippers might stretch a bit so my notebook pages don't catch at the binder point, but that is the only downside I have found.May have to investigate a Bomber Jacket bag soon!
High quality
By Reot
Very nice leather and great looking with the monogrammed initials. Was a birthday present for son who flies a lot and although he loved it, it was too heavy and bulky for his computer bag. So be careful about that---it is not streamlined!

Stocking your kitchen with the essential tools is the key to making cooking enjoyable, fast, and fun. Many people claim they "hate to cook" or that they "can't cook," and you would understand why if you stepped into their kitchens. Even a short, 30-minute recipe that requires only a couple chopped ingredients becomes very laborious when using a dull knife; and then cooking with a cheap, thin pan that causes foods to stick or burn only escalates the problem. No wonder people choose to eat out or warm up a pre-made convenience meal from the freezer.

RARITAN, N.J. — A state budget crisis has led the School Transportation Supervisors of New Jersey (STS) to halt its annual convention.
State Commissioner of Education Lucille Davy last month called on school districts to freeze all nonessential spending and review the necessity of all expenditures for the rest of the school year.
Anticipating that this would prevent many members from attending the 2009 STS Conference and Equipment Show, the association's board of directors last week decided to cancel the event. It had been scheduled to take place March 30-31.
In a letter to members, STS President Ingrid Reitano thanked the committees that had been planning the conference and said that it had been shaping up well.
"Our annual conferences have been the source of so much of the knowledge we need to perform our jobs as school transportation professionals," Reitano wrote. "I optimistically anticipate that we will be able to plan new conferences in the near future."

Guilty verdict in 2010 shooting of NYPD detective
Elijah Foster-Bey, 20, was convicted of assault for the 2010 shooting of NYPD Det. Ricardo Ramirez
By Josh Saul
The New York Post
NEW YORK — A thug accused of shooting a cop who chased him into an East New York apartment building was finally convicted Tuesday in a verdict that could put him behind bars for up to 25 years.
After six days of deliberations by a Brooklyn jury and an August mistrial by another jury, Elijah Foster-Bey, 20, was convicted of assault Tuesday afternoon for the 2010 shooting. The jury also convicted Foster-Bey of criminal possession of a weapon but acquitted him on attempted murder and aggravated assault of a police officer.
Foster-Bey shot NYPD Det. Ricardo Ramirez after the then-teen biked past the cops and refused to stop when the cops called to him in East New York in 2010. Jurors said the case was a tough one – noting that it was unclear why cops first called out to Foster-Bey and whether Foster-Bey knew Ramirez was a cop.

Estimated trophy difficulty: 4/10, personal estimate, site estimate pending vote
Offline trophies: 37 (24 , 11 , 2 )
Online trophies: 6 (2 , 2 , 1 , 1)
Approximate amount of time to platinum: 40+ hours depending on skill
Minimum number of playthroughs: 1, 2 preferred
Number of missable trophies: None, but some can glitch.
Glitched trophies: Recon and Full Arsenal, detailed below
Does difficulty affect trophies?: Yes, the game must be at least completed on Hard
Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheats.
Introduction:Welcome to Battlefield 4, DICE's latest entry to the Battlefield series. This time, DICE decided to focus the majority of the trophies on the extremely short single player. Multiplayer is nothing compared to Battlefield 3 in terms of trophy difficulty either. Those looking for a relatively easy platinum have come to the right place. There might be some bumps along the way with a few freezes, or some other ridiculous glitch, but the platinum is still very well obtainable.
Step 1: Single-Player on Hard
The single player in Battlefield 4 will take an average FPS player somewhere around 4 hours to complete on hard. Due to the risk of your campaign being wiped, it's best to try and do this without turning off the game. In the event you need to, back up your save frequently. Also, try not to step into multiplayer until you at least finish hard mode, as that has been linked to campaign wipes. Utilize the provided video guides to pick up as many collectibles as you can. Attempt to get the trophy scores on every mission, which in turn will complete all the campaign assignments. If you fail however, don't worry as you can clean up on easy and quickly rack up killstreaks and multikills to more than easily reach the trophy scores.
In this step, you will earn at least:
If you completed all the score challenges in this step, which is very likely:
You will also earn at least one of the following ending trophies:
Step 2: Easy Mode Clean-Up:
I preferred to run through on Easy mode to quickly clean up mission specific trophies. Getting the kills is a lot less frustrating, and for example with the Adrenaline kills, is easier to run through enemies and take the required damage without dying. You might have gotten some or even most of these trophies playing through on hard. If you missed any collectibles this is also the step to get them. You will also want to play the final mission two more times to unlock the remaining two ending trophies, and the trophy for viewing all 3 endings. The multiplayer weapons will be extremely beneficial for the final step as well.
At the end of this step, you will have:
as well as any other trophy you may have missed during your time in campaign
Step 3) Multiplayer
This is the cream of the Battlefield Crop without a doubt. If you bought BF4, this is probably the reason. For the purposes of earning trophies, you will want to complete mode specific trophies as fast as possible in order to focus on the XP requirements for Level 25 and unlocking the M1911 pistol. These multiplayer trophies are the easiest they've been in Battlefield since Battlefield has had trophies.
At the end of this step, you will have:

Platinum Trophy
Collect all other Battlefield 4™ Trophies
We all know how to earn this puppy.
Campaign Trophies:
For all campaign missions, I recommend your primary loadout be the CZ805 Assault Rifle, and the FY-JS ,.330 Recon, or Scout Elite Sniper Rifles. There's basically two ranges in campaign, Assault Rifle Range and Sniper Rifle Range. You'll want the sniper rifle for easy headshots well into safety (and to keep your squad away from the enemies) and the assault rifle for everything else. But this is down to personal preference, and scoring techniques are detailed in the guide that are irrelevant to weapon preference.

Campaign Scoring Guide:
Regular Kill: 100 points
Headshot: 25 points
Multikill (earned by killing 2+ enemies with one blast or bullet): # of kills x100
Adrenaline Kill (Kill an enemy while having 31% or less health): 50 points
Melee Kill: 25 points
Kill Streak (Kills within 3 seconds of each other): 50 points per kill
Squad Kills (AI Kill): 50 points
All points except Squad Kills are added on top of Regular Kills as a bonus.
Dunn's pride
Obtain 7 000 points in the Baku mission in the Campaign
As with all these trophies, you will need 1,000 more points than the Gold Assignment score on each mission. Meaning, by earning these, you will also finish all but 2 campaign assignments for Above and Beyond the Call.
Scoring 7,000 points in the Baku mission isn't too tough. If attempting to do this on hard, never use the helicopter gunner you'll have available during some of the primary shootouts no matter how much you want to. Aim for headshots, and utilize explosives as much as possible. The M320 can rack up multikills, especially against the enemy transport trucks. On hard, your AI will hardly get any kills unless you command them. Avoid doing that to maximize points. If cleaning up score on easy, you will have to compete with your AI for kills, but getting rapid kills and using C4 to charge groups is made easily possible.
A one-man riot
Obtain 11 000 points in the Shanghai mission in the Campaign
11,000 shouldn't prove too difficult on Shanghai. Again, avoid letting your squad kill as much possible. Make sure to maximize multi-kills, not only will that help you earn the Wrecker trophy, it will maximize your points. You will score about 1,000 points during the final fight with the two Tanks at the end of this mission to help give you any extra boost you might need.
Terror of the deep
Obtain 11 000 points in the South China Sea mission in the Campaign
This mission can be a bit tricky for score. If you progress too fast in the boat sequence, you can miss out on killing some vehicles, and this single sequence will account for the majority of your mission points. If you're scoring in the boat sequence optimally you should get the gold medal for the mission when destroying the helicopter or soon after. But if you move too slow, you'll just be murdered. Pace yourself and don't use vehicle boost. Take your time to kill everything. You'll definitely want to focus on headshots here not only for the points, but for the mission related headshots trophy. Again, avoid letting your squad mates kill as much as possible. If you spread your shots, you can damage the enemy boats enough to line them up into Rapid Kills for even more extra points.
Storm bringer
Obtain 20 000 points in the Singapore mission in the Campaign
This mission more than any needs to be focused on multikills. Don't worry about the RPG kills on your first playthrough if you don't want to. The RPG is weak against infantry with little splash. Focus on headshots and rapid kills. When you come to a footbridge when being escorted by the tanks, run to the top before the tank moves up enough to spawn enemies. You'll be able to toss grenades to the end of the bridge and multikill about 5 or 6 enemies at once for an easy score boost. When you get tank access, utilize it to get as many multikills as possible during it's extended sequence. Also, hang to the outside right when moving to the parking garage, as it's possible to skip a tank encounter, and miss out on 500+ points. During the final areas, you'll have access to the rapid grenade launcher, utilize it in the aircraft hangar for as many multikills as possible. You should walk away with well over the 20,000 if you prevent your squad from killing as much as possible.
Obtain 12 000 points in the Kunlun Mountains mission in the Campaign
Again, multikills are your best friend. Focus on headshots, keep your squad from killing, etc. You'll get a nice little boost in points during the very beginning by remaining stealth and meleeing into the guard tower as well as the Shawshank trophy. During the sequence where Dima has to open the garage, you'll be bombarded by dropping soldiers from helicopters. You will have access to claymores here, booby trap the rear area of the room where they drop and you can net several easy multikills. Once outdoors you should have access to an M320 you can use to try and get more multikills.
Demolition man
Obtain 15 000 points in the Tashgar mission in the Campaign
Tashgar is a mission where you'll have explosives a plenty. Utilize them as much as possible to get the points you need. You'll also have tons of opportunity for rapid kills, headshots galore, and grenade spamming your way into the score record books.
Guardian of the fleet
Obtain 6 000 points in the Suez mission in the Campaign
Suez is extremely easy to get multikills on, and you'll definitely want them. If you spam the rapid grenade launcher as much as possible, prevent your squad from killing, and destroy the helicopter during the final section of the deck of the boat before it can drop off it's soliders for the multi-kill bonus, you can have the 6,000 before even actually entering the boat. As long as you've gotten gold before entering the boat, there should be enough enemies to get you the rest of the way to what you need.

Well placed
Get 10 kills with C4 in the Baku mission in the Campaign
My #1 tip for this is don't do it on hard mode. On Easy, you'll be able to take C4 where ever available and just run straight at enemies. You should be able to get plenty of kills this way. However, the easiest place is when you enter the shooting area with two large catwalk pipes to either side of you. If you charge forward as soon as you reach this area, you can intercept a troop transport truck for 4-5 easy C4 kills, and the enemies will crowd up right before entering the large building for another half dozen or more easy kills. Just make sure not to kill yourself as the kills do not save before a checkpoint, so unless the trophy dings in before you die, you'll lose progress you made between check points.
Get 10 multi-kills in the Shanghai mission in the Campaign
There's multiple opportunities to get multi-kills. Grenades and Claymores will be your best friend. In the case you need more grenades, they can be resupplied by running over dead bodies. You only really need 8 multikills, as the two tanks in the final section of the game will provide 2 more multikills. If aiming specifically for these though with good grenade spamming skills, you can walk away with over 15 multikills if not 20. Like the C4 kills, dying before a checkpoint after getting multikills will rollback your progress to the last checkpoint.
Blood wake
Get 30 headshots in the South China Sea mission in the Campaign
Simple, aim for headshots. This is actually easier on Hard mode because your AI won't kill much of anything. So you maximize the amount of enemies you have to shoot yourself.
War turtle
Get 15 kills with RPG in the Singapore mission in the Campaign
You'll want to get the RPG out of a gadget box as soon as possible, which is right after taking control of the tank for the first time. You can move on foot from here, abandoning the tank, to rack up RPG kills. The parking garage is another place to rack up some easy kills with it. Hang back with the RPG by the resupply box and get as many kills as possible, the RPG is extremely weak against infantry and you'll need direct hits for kills most of the time. Utilize the RPG whenever you can restock it during the level. The final firefight in the hangar is excellent as you can continually restock, and keep your AI on the upper balcony so they don't kill to much.
Do not use the SMAW.
Get 10 adrenaline kills in the Tashgar mission in the Campaign
Adrenaline Kills are earned whenever you get a kill under 31% health. There is plenty of enemies here to do this conservatively. On easy mode, clear enough enemies normally that you feel safe letting yourself get shot. On easy mode, only something like 1 in 4 enemy bullets will register. Run up to them and let them shoot you down to 31 health and then let er rip. I walked away with the 10 kills before the end of the very first area doing this.
Get 5 kills with Shank in the Kunlun Mountains mission in the Campaign
You'll likely naturally get this following the score guide for this mission in the very first area of the level. But if you're just not stealthy, play on easy and run around enemies and knife them. There is tons of enemies you can knife and you shouldn't have any problems with getting shot on Easy outside the first area where you'll need to be careful due to the high damage of the guard's shotguns.
A video example of how to easily get this trophy at the beginning of the level:
For tombstone
Let the Valkyrie be destroyed in the Campaign
To earn this ending trophy, just don't make a decision when hanging from the bridge on your grapnel. You can see the Valkyrie take more damage in the background until it eventually goes down.
For the people
Sacrifice Irish to save the Valkyrie in the Campaign
To earn this ending trophy, hand Irish the final brick of C4 and detonate it as soon as instructed.
For the cause
Sacrifice Hannah to save the Valkyrie in the Campaign
To earn this ending trophy, hand Hannah the C4 instead of Irish and detonate when instructed.
Patience is a virtue
Experience all 3 endings in the Campaign
Upon seeing your 3rd different ending, you'll unlock this trophy.
Above and beyond the call
Complete all Assignments in the Campaign
There is 3 assignments that will just naturally complete by playing the campaign. You will also need to Gold all the missions, which you will have done by earning the Score Trophies. Finally, by viewing all 3 endings, you will have fulfilled the requirements for this trophy.

*GLITCH* This trophy has been reported to pop in well before it should have. If it does, congratulations. This trophy can also fail to pop in, and reloading a campaign mission after you're 100% sure the requirements have been met should cause it to pop in.
Collectibles are the biggest pain in the entire Single Player. Make sure you pick up any weapons enemies drop to cover those, and don't worry if the game doesn't say you've picked up a dogtag. As long as you're sure you've hit that prompt, it should count. There is 35 collectibles in total.
Lucky for us, Wozamil has created an extremely comprehensive video and text guide for the level specific dogtags and weapons.
The Video Guide can be found here:
Battlefield 4 - Collectibles Locations - All 35 Dog Tags & Weapons Collectibles Missions Guide - YouTube
As for all assignments, if you've earned Above and Beyond the Call following the rest of this guide, you've met that half of the requirements. This will likely be your final single player trophy.

Multiplayer Trophies:
Turn around...
Perform 5 dog tag kills in Multiplayer
This is easy enough. Depending on your personal controller setup, sneak up behind 5 enemies and melee them. This should come in natural play. Just avoid knifing from the front as the counter-knife window is ridiculous, and it's extremely frustrating to fail like that. Knifing does not provide invincibility frames for as long as Battlefield 3, so you can be shot mid-knife. You are only invincible during the motion of removing dogtags and can be killed instantly thereafter. Knifing is extremely loud and noticeable due to the amount of time it takes to perform as well, so don't expect to be able to sneak up behind a crowd and knife all of them.
If looking to boost this trophy, the easiest method is to find a relatively empty server (you will need at least 4 people in the server for it to start a round) and trade knives with a partner.
It does not matter which melee weapon you have equipped.
Won them all
Win a round of each game mode
*GLITCH WARNING* If this trophy doesn't ding when it's supposed to, replay matches in each mode from the start of the match until the finish.
Your standard Battlefield game mode. Large maps, and your team must control the majority of flags to bleed enemy tickets. Work with your team to reduce the enemies tickets to 0 before your team. The best class for this is either Medic or Engineer. For the purposes of trophies, you'll probably only play this classic mode for the required win.
Another Battlefield staple. An attacking team and a defending team are pit against each other over MCOM stations. The attacking team must destroy all stations before their tickets are bled to 0. This mode is faster paced than Conquest, but is also more prone to heavily fortified campers. If you're a good player, your Score Per Minute can skyrocket here, however, if you're in this for trophies, find a good team that looks like they can win, support them as best you can, get your win, and get out. Any class can succeed on this mode.
Team Deathmatch:
Standard Team Deathmatch mode. Kill and don't be killed. First team to 100 wins. If you're a good player, this is the one mode you can likely carry your entire team in. Otherwise, hope your team can hold together long enough to squeak in a win. Medic dominates this mode.
Squad Deathmatch:
5v5v5v5 death match. I'll be the first to say this mode is a complete mess with it's layouts and spawns. Always play medic on this mode. Stick with your squad, revive whenever possible, and you should manage a win soon enough.
Another mess of a mode with terrible layouts and spawns. Two teams fight over a central bomb to plant and destroy 3 enemy objectives. Sadly, you'll be spending most of your time here for another trophy. You'll need a really good team to defend you otherwise you'll be slaughtered. You'll need Medics and Engineers galore to manage vehicles and people. Supports won't be needed for ammo since life expectancy on this mode is less than 10 seconds. More tips for this mode will be detailed below. Just know that if you're good at shooters, your Score Per Minute can be made ridiculous here.
Search and Destroy ala CoD. An attacking team and a defending team with no respawns. No one ever plays the objective just like CoD, so it's really just elimination. You'll need to be present for both Round 1 and Round 2 to avoid possibility of this mode glitching the trophy, each round composed of 3 attempts to attack per team followed by an end of round screen. If you've got a suppressed gun, use it here, otherwise, try to join this mode on Flood Zone. Flood Zone is laid out terribly, and about 10 steps past either sides spawn you will see the other enemies. Matches rarely last more than a minute.
Conquest Mini. It's extremely fast paced, and is your best friend for racking up lots of points, really fast. Even if just capturing flags, your SPM will be extremely high, even better if you can kill like a professional. After finishing Bomb squad spend the remainder of your multiplayer time here.
.45 old school
Perform 45 kills with the M1911 Handgun in Multiplayer
You will need 34,000 points with handguns to unlock the M1911 in multiplayer. All pistol score will count. Kills with handguns, assists, etc. The process can be sped up utilizing the XP boosters provided by Battlepacks. The Shorty 12G Shotgun unlocked from the Pistol unlock tree might seem tempting to use to work on unlocks, well sorry, this amazing little beast counts for shotgun score once unlocked. Weapon tips will be detailed below. Once you have the M1911, use it for 45 kills and this trophy is yours.
Bomb squad
Deliver 5 bombs in Obliteration
By far the most difficult multiplayer trophy. You will need to plant and destroy the bomb in Obliteration 5 times. This is cumulative across all plays, so you can work on this at any pace. You will need an excellent team to defend you and your planted charge. This mode is a complete cluster****, so expect a lot of frustration. There is only 3 enemy objectives per match, so it is tight competition to get those plants. There is also about a 45 second delay between new bomb spawns. Bomb spawns will always be somewhere in the middle of the two bases, typically somewhere close to where the parachute option is on the spawn map. If you die in the water or in the air with the bomb it will have to respawn, this is a good way to force a reset if you've gotten the bomb and can't get away from the enemies but can at least jump in the water.
Vehicles dominate this mode, so get a good tank crew running, or have a pilot on stand by to sweep you away in a helicopter. The more distance you can keep on the enemies, the better. Carrying the bomb makes you instantly die from any explosive damage, and a larger target. You will always been visible when carrying the bomb as well.
Community opinion leans on Golmud Railway being the best map to get plants.
Call me "Sir"
Reach rank 25.
Self-explanatory, reach Rank 25. An average player should reach this in about 25-30 hours of multiplayer time if exclusively playing high score per minute modes. Advanced players can reach this faster, and this is where the skill related estimate on time really comes into play. The process can be sped up via XP boosters from Battlepacks. You will have 2 gold battlepacks available to you on this road, meaning two chances to get 100% XP boosters. Otherwise, Bronze Packs earned every even level frequently hand out 25% boosters. Only 1 booster can be active at a time. Boosters are activated in a match via the pause menu and hitting to select your booster.
It takes about 796,000 points total to hit Rank 25.

Multiplayer Tips:
Maximizing Score Per Minute: Score Per Minute is what really matters for reaching Rank 25. The kit that provides this is the Assault Class or better known as Medic. For quickly earning trophies, you will want to make sure you've unlocked the QBZ-95 Assault Rifle from the campaign. Utilize this assault rifle to unlock the defibrillators, which you should use to replace your M320. Once you start unlocking other assault rifles like the M416, AEK-971 or FAMAS, experiment with them. The AEK and FAMAS will be superior for close range comabt, while the 416 is very universal. Always, always keep throwing medpack at allies, and revive when possible. Charging your defib paddles will revive your allies with more health and give you more points. 20 points is the default, while about 3 seconds of charging will should net you the full 100 points.
Your loadout should look like or similar to this:
Assault Class:
Primary: QBZ, attachments irrelevant
Secondary: Default Pistol
Gadget 1: Medpack
Gadget 2: M320 (replaced by Defibrillator as soon as possible)
Score Per Minute is maximized by playing high pace modes such as Domination. Domination is much more manageable for average or otherwise low-level players than Obliteration since you can just run flags to capture. If you're skilled enough, Obliteration also has extremely high Score Per Minute matches that can last indefinitely.
If utilizing Engineer for anti-vehicle or play or to utilize and maintain vehicles. You'll want the P90 unlocked via a campaign ending. It is significantly better than the other PDWs. Once you unlock the AK-5C Carbine via Engineer, it might be better suited to some players. Otherwise, the P90 is the best PDW unlocked for quite a while. A launcher and a repair torch is always recommended for Engineers, but thats up to play style. Just know the RPG unlocked relatively early does significantly more damage than the default LAW and if you can get over not having the auto lock on power, the RPG is the best launcher to carry period.
Weapon Tips:
All classes have an early weapon that outshines the other that you should start with over the other choices. Assault should start with the QBZ from the campaign ending. Engineer with the P90 from the campaign ending, Support with the U-100, Recon with the default Sniper Rifle. Recon should be avoided if looking to maximize Score Per Minute since it's not a fast moving class. Otherwise, try to use your pistol as much as possible as Recon.
Your handgun should be the default handgun at first. The REX from campaign might seem good, but it's damage at range and accuracy is poor with a low fire rate. It's a good secondary for getting in a panicking shot, but when trying to build pistol points rapidly, you'll need the high magazine and fire rate of the default pistol to act as a primary weapon. Utilize the Default pistol until you unlock the MP443, which is the next pistol to have a decent enough step up in performance to consider abandoning the attachments you'll unlock for your default. From there, you should be set to work towards the M1911. Do not use the Shorty 12G Sidearm Shotgun, as its points count for the shotgun tree and not pistols.
The FN57 and G18 pistols earned just before the M1911 are also excellent for cleaning up that last few thousand points. The FN57 has reduced damage, but a 20+1 round magazine. If your aim is good, it can clear entire squads with headshots with ammo to spare. If using the G18, you'll be forced to play Support to resupply yourself. It kills like no other with its high automatic fire rate, but it carries next to no ammo.
Try and avoid the support class as much as possible. A lot of freezing issues consistently involve playing as support. DICE has yet to respond to these concerns, so to avoid frustration, avoid the class. Supposedly this glitch has to do with the Defensive Field Upgrades. Meaning that if you can stomach the risk of freezing long enough to unlock the Offensive Field Upgrades, running those in lieu of Defensive should make Support safe to play.

Very nice looking guide! For the war turtle trophy you can get a RPG right after you take control of the tank for the first time. Just destroy the barrier , drive up just past the 2 tanks in the road and the box will be right there where you turn right . You can almost have 15 kills before reaching the parking garage. I just abandoned the tank and went on foot.

Review: HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire'
In the debut episode of HBO's period gangster epic "Boardwalk Empire," which premieres Sunday at 9 p.m., a character is murdered in a public place, a brutal act that kicks off a music montage showing various violent deeds spinning off from the same group of Atlantic City gangsters.
It's such a classic mob movie moment that only two living directors should be allowed to film such a sequence in the way that it's filmed: Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
Fortunately for "Boardwalk Empire" creator Terence Winter, he got Scorsese.
So a sequence that in lesser hands would feel like the umpteenth rip-off of "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas" instead plays like a master doing variations on one of his most famous themes.
That's the case for much of "Boardwalk Empire," not just in the Scorsese-directed pilot, but later episodes where directors like Tim Van Patten and Allen Coulter very much maintain Scorsese's fluid style. Much of the show will seem familiar in one area or another - a little bit "Godfather," a little bit "Deadwood" and "Sopranos" and (as Winter himself will readily admit) a whole lotta "White Heat" - yet it's so impeccably-crafted that the whole feels more original than the sum of its parts.
With Scorsese, "Sopranos" alums like Winter, Van Patten, Coulter and star Steve Buscemi and an enormous budget that included building a recreation of the Atlantic City boardwalk circa 1920, "Boardwalk Empire" comes with as much hype and as many expectations as any new drama in recent memory. HBO has thrown a lot of money and talent at a problem - that problem being the sense that, even with the success of "True Blood," the channel has been running on fumes since the days of Tony, Paulie Walnuts and company - and for once, that approach has succeeded. Despite some unavoidable bumps as Winter introduces us to a strange new world and its enormous population, "Boardwalk Empire" has sweep, style, grand characters and chilling moments. It's fantastic.
We open in 1920, literally on the night before Prohibition starts and alcohol is outlawed throughout America. Atlantic City is not taking it well. A man and woman are seen pushing a baby carriage filled with liquor bottles (they have to carry the baby in their arms), while a group of men in blackface are holding a mock funeral for John Barleycorn himself.
Through this mess strides Buscemi as Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, known in respected circles as the treasurer of Atlantic County, and in less respected ones as the most powerful fixer on the east coast. Where others see Prohibition as a reason to freak out, or mourn, Nucky sees only dollar signs. To crooks like Nucky, Prohibition is a license to print money, unintentionally granted by the United States Congress.
"Everybody wants what they ain't allowed to have," Nucky explains - and by God, he's going to give it to them, at a steep markup.
The doomed experiment that was Prohibition, and the explosion of organized crime it created, is incredibly fertile territory. It allows Winter to mix a group of real-life wiseguys like gambler Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg from "A Serious Man") and Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazza) with fictional characters like Michael Shannon's religious zealot of a Prohibition agent Nelson Van Alden, as well as ones in between like Nucky himself.
(Winter changed the last name and some of the biographical details from the real Nucky Johnson so he wouldn't be bound by history, and so viewers couldn't spoil the whole series for themselves with a quick Google search.)
With so many "Sopranos" alums involved, echoes of HBO's last series about Jersey wiseguys are inevitable. Nucky's protege Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt), a World War I veteran who wants to advance faster than Nucky will let him, comes across as Christopher Moltisanti by way of Scorsese-era Leonardo DiCaprio. Nucky's ex-showgirl lover Lucy (Paz de la Huerta) is sexy but also moody and unfiltered in a way that evokes many of Tony's mistresses. Winter wrote most of the funniest "Sopranos" episodes (including "Pine Barrens") and his black sense of humor is all over this show. There are beefs over jokes taken too far and gifts not properly appreciated and frequent tensions between New Jersey and New York.
Yet the scope is grander - spotlighting various corners of Atlantic City society, criminal and otherwise, and extending out to Chicago and Washington, D.C. - in a way that ultimately evokes other HBO dramas like "Deadwood" or "Rome" or "The Wire" more than it does the adventures of Tony and Carmela. "The Sopranos" was a character study and a cynical look at turn-of-the-millennium social decay. "Boardwalk Empire" is a more straightforward gangster story, and one that's oddly optimistic even with all the violence. Tony lamented that he came in at the end of something, where Nucky is there at the start.
Buscemi is an unconventional choice to front this show. The real Nucky was a big bear of a man, unconflicted about his criminal enterprise, where Buscemi is small and sarcastic and, at the start, reluctant about the violence that's coming along with all the money he and his friends stand to make from bootlegging.
"You can't be half a gangster, Nucky," Jimmy tries to tell him. "Not anymore."
But if Buscemi is an unexpected main man, he's also a superb one, helping to center the complicated plot and huge cast of characters and adding a moral heft that keeps the show from ever letting itself become Prohbition's Greatest Hits. And in a storyline involving Kelly Macdonald as an Irish immigrant trapped in a bad marriage, Buscemi proves a surprisingly convincing, tender romantic lead.
And the cast around him is wonderful, given one incredible bit of business after another to play by Winter and his writers. Pitt matches Buscemi's gravity as Jimmy tries to cope with the things he did and saw in the war, and becomes a strong co-lead when much of the action switches to Chicago. As Agent Van Alden tells a potential recruit that their mission is "a godly pursuit," Shannon's voice cracks and rumbles in a manner suggesting that his God is an unforgiving Old Testament type. As Rothstein, Stuhlbarg gets to deliver one hypnotic monologue after another that makes clear why all these Irish and Italian tough guys are so fearful of this Jewish money man, and then Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar from "The Wire," here playing Nucky's counterpart in Atlantic City's African-American community) tops him with a dazzling speech that will never let you look at a bookcase the same way again.
The characters are so numerous and colorful that the show occasionally suffers from information overload in the early going. There's a scene in the pilot where Van Alden tries to identify all the major players to his confused partner that tries to dress up the exposition with humor, yet I very much empathized with the partner during a later sequence where I lost track of who was who.
But as with the best of these broad canvas series, the players and their allegiances become clear within an episode or two. And from that point on, "Boardwalk Empire" becomes everything that HBO (and I) had hoped for it.
In an exchange that's been featured in most of the trailers for the show, Jimmy again tries to push Nucky for a promotion, telling him, "All I want is an opportunity."
"This is America, ain't it?" a frustrated Nucky replies. "Who the fuck's stopping you?"
With this cast, this setting, this director and this budget, Winter has been given a tremendous opportunity to make something that might one day be discussed in the gangster pantheon with "Public Enemy" or "The Godfather" or, yes, "The Sopranos." And it looks like he's running with it.

The beautiful sights of Halong Bay are one of the most sought after destinations in all of Vietnam. Resulting from this, hundreds of tourists visit every single day and stay overnight on the water in one of the many number of junk boats. While this is a dream itinerary, there is one small drawback to the experience – the garbage.
Saving Money, Polluting the Waters
When staying on the junk boats, guests are often informed that outside beverages are not allowed and that a drinking fee of 10% all the way up to $1 per beverage will be assessed per item (up to $5 if alcoholic). With drink prices being expensive as it is, often $1.50 per cola at a minimum, many people resort to outside sources in an attempt to sneak drinks on board to avoid the fee.
The common technique to get around this in Halong Bay is row boat peddlers which pull up to the side of a junk boat and sell drinks to passengers at heavily discounted prices. A dream come true for the budget minded? Hardly. It turns out that supporting the local peddlers has a huge impact on Halong Bay more than just drinking at a cheaper price.
For those traveling to Halong Bay, wait until dark to see the true nature of some local peddlers, as dozens of empty cola and beer cans are guaranteed to float by in the water, dumped without care of repercussion. At first, the guests on our junk thought it was from our boat itself, but we later saw the trash supply being unloaded from the boat for disposal via proper channels. Our tour guide informed us that the water dumpers are in fact the local people, fisherman, row boat peddlers; the very same that only hours earlier sold several people on our boat drinks at significantly reduced prices.

This act of disregard for trash disposal goes on throughout many Vietnamese cities, where highways, roadways, and side streets become dumping grounds for garbage. This is not an issue so much in these populated locales as there are numerous street cleaners that walk the streets at all hours picking up every piece of debris. The bay, however, does not have a similar service, and trash is likely never picked up until it makes landfall.
For being a World Heritage UNESCO site, seeing trash and debris floating in the waters is unsettling. Getting past the amount of boats on the water is one thing, but physically seeing cans and beer bottles floating by is unacceptable on many levels.
It is with this knowledge that I make this request to all readers: Do not support the boat peddlers in Halong Bay. To ensure the beauty of Halong Bay is maintained for future generations, purchasing drinks on the boat is the way to go, even if it may kill your prepared budget.

Advisory Check 2.20 with More Feeds and HP-UX
Advisory Check (advchk), a small tool for monitoring installed software security, is now available in version 2.20. It has extended its source feeds and is now supported on HP-UX.
The program helps UNIX admins filter through the large numbers of security advisories that pertain to their systems by gathering RSS, RDF and XML feeds from the Web. It detects the installed software from the monitored system's package manager, which occurs over SSH for remote systems. The command line program then presents admins just those advisories that are relevant for the installed packages.
Advisory Check 2.20 adds to its existing package managers, such as dpkg, rpm, Gentoo portage, BSD family pkg_info and AIX lpp, support for HP-UX swlist. The list of advisory feeds was extended by six new sources.
Software consultant Stephan Schmieder offers his perl script for advchk-2.20 under revised BSD license for download <link href="http://unixgu.ru/#FMFreemind_Link_334910995FM" target="_blank">here</link>.

Women in combat: Your take
I served in the US Army from 81-87. I served four years in Europe and 2 in the United states. I was the first platoon of women to train with men. I believe it is about time that women are allowed to serve their country in any capacity that a male soldier is allowed too. In other countries women have been allowed to fight for their country beside men. I think it is about time that women have equal rights as soldier's

Key Stats: 2B Parrino 4-5, 2 2B, 3RBI, 4R; C Hundley 3-4, CS; RHP Palmer 6IP, 4H, 1ER, 3K, 2BB
The Tucson Padres offense exploded late in Monday's game and turned a close game into a lopsided 10-1 win. The Padres led 1-0 entering the bottom of the fifth when they scored two runs, added three more in the seventh and four more in the eighth to win their second straight game.
Padres starter Matt Palmer allowed just one run in six innings of work and picked up his fifth win of the season. Palmer pitched for Salt Lake for parts of three seasons from 2009-2011. Padres relievers Brad Boxberger and Miles Mikolas tossed a scoreless inning each out of the Tucson bullpen.
Two nights after hitting three doubles, Tucson infielder Andy Parrino went 4-for-5 Monday with two doubles and four RBIs. Nick Hundley went 3-for-4 and has four hits in eight at bats since joining the T-Pads Sunday. Padres outfielder Daniel Robertson went 2-for-4 with three RBIs including a two-run triple. Jedd Gyorko drove in two runs, but went 0-for-4, ending a nine-game hitting streak.

San Antonio 3 Northwest Arkansas 2
Key Stats: 1B Freiman, 1-4, 2B, BB, 2R, RBI; RHP Roach 6IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 2K, 3BB
Reymond Fuentes drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 11th to push across the winning run for the Missions, who are now 8-1 since the break.
Starter Donn Roach worked six hitless innings, but was tagged for an unearned run in the fourth after his own error put the leadoff runner on, then a wild pitch advanced him to second. A groundout and sacrifice fly later, the 22-year-old acquired in the Ernesto Frieri trade was in the hole. After striking out nearly one batter per inning for the Storm, Roach has recorded only three in his first nine innings of work. He continues to be a groundball machine, getting 12 grounders in the game.
The Missions were also stymied through the first five innings, no hits either. But with two outs in the sixth, Jonathan Galvez singled, then Nathan Freiman and Cody Decker hit back-to-back doubles to claim the lead. Robert Lara gave the lead right back in the seventh inning, but the bullpen then strung together four scoreless innings.
Storm 3 Bakersfield 2
Key Stats: 3B Belnome 1-2, HR, BB; C Rodriguez 2-3, 2B, HR; RHP Smith 6IP, 3H, 1ER, 8K, 2BB
Burch Smith delivered another strong outing to help the Storm to a league-best 9-3 record in the second half. Smith threw six solid innings, allowing only one run on three hits. The 2011 14th-rounder struck out eight and walked two. In his last seven starts, Smith has a 2.04 ERA over 39.2 innings, striking out 45 against just seven walks.
In the second, Tommy Medica hit a leadoff single up the middle and eventually came around to score on a Donovan Tate grounded out to third. The hit extended Medica's streak to 18 straight games, the third longest in the league this season.
Vince Belnome and Eddy Rodriguez added solo homers as well. Belnome is 8-for-14 with three walks and a 1.000 slugging percentage in his four rehab appearances for the Storm. Rodriguez sports just a .230 average on the year, but is tied for second on the club with 8 homers.
TinCaps 5 Lake County 4
Key Stats: 3B Jones 2-4, HR(3), 2RBI; SS Peterson 2-4, R, SB; RHP Barbato 2IP, 3H, R, 2K, 1BB
While starter Cody Hebner lasted just three innings, the Fort Wayne bullpen was strong in relief, working the final six innings of a 5-4 victory over Lake County. Duanel Jones hit a two-run home run and Matt Stites earned his sixth save of the year, as the TinCaps earned their fourth consecutive series victory to open the second half.
Hebner allowed a run in the first inning, putting the TinCaps in an immediate hole. Fort Wayne responded with a three-run top half of the second. Duanel Jones blasted a two-run homer and Travis Jankowski hit an RBI double for his first Midwest League run batted in.
That lead evaporated by the time the third inning was over, though, as Hebner allowed single runs in both the second and third innings. He departed after the third, making Monday his shortest start of the season. The righty surrendered five hits while walking one and striking out a season-low-tying two. Kyle Gaedele broke the 3-3 tie in the fourth inning with an RBI groundout. In the bottom half of the inning, Dennis O'Grady (1-0) emerged from the bullpen to throw the first of his three scoreless frames. O'Grady handed it over to Johnny Barbato, who gave up one run over his two innings of work. The 19-year-old righty has seen his ERA rise each month of the season.
Matt Stites worked a perfect ninth inning, earning his sixth save of the season. The 2011 draftee has posted a miniscule 0.79 ERA on the season with a 29-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio, but has spent two stints on the disabled list.

Everett 10 Eugene 1
Key Stats: C Hagerty 2-4, 2B; 3B Burke 1-2, BB, SF, RBI; LHP Alger 3IP, 0H, 0R, 4K, 0BB
The Em's managed only one run while the bullpen gave up a pair of big innings. The 10-1 loss to Everett was the largest losing margin of the season for Eugene, which fell to 8-7.
Starter Brandon Alger extended his scoreless innings streak to begin his professional career. The 26th-round pick tossed three perfect innings, striking out four along the way. The lefty has only given up one unearned run through his first 11 innings. He has only given up five hits, has 10 strikeouts and no walks through four appearances.
Rehabbing catcher Jason Hagerty was the only Eugene hitter to collect multiple hits, going 2-for-4 with a double. Alberth Martinez and Chris Burke also collected two-baggers, but the club only managed to go 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
AZL Athletics 5 AZL Padres 2
Vladimir De La Cruz sailed through his first two innings of work, but was tagged for the three deciding runs in the seventh inning to take the loss and drop the Padres to 3-7 on the year.
Max Fried made his professional debut for the rookie league club. The lefty worked an adventurous, but scoreless, inning. Fried allowed a leadoff single to fellow first-rounder Addison Russell and issued a pair of walks before digging himself out with a strikeout, liner and grounder.
Third rounder Fernando Perez also made his debut, going 1-for-2 with a walk after spending his first two weeks as a professional on the disabled list. The 18-year-old infielder, who appeared as the designated hitter, signed out of Central Arizona College after leaving Otay Ranch High School a year early.

My fellow Americans, regardless of where we stood before Iraq, the hawks and the doves are all flying in the same sky. Now it's time to find a place to land, and we are divided again.
One method of handling post-war Iraq involves not only a unilateral plan in the global sense, but one that does not even span the knowledge and utility of all of our government. This is the method Rumsfeld and the Pentagon want to employ. They want to punish the ''unwilling'' by not allowing them a seat at the Iraqi table.
I ask my fellow Americans and my president, why did we go to war in the first place? We did not go because we wanted to liberate the Iraqi people. This was not part of Bush's platform and was not in his speech until months after 9/11. We went because we felt threatened by possible weapons of mass destruction. The liberation of the Iraqi people is just a wonderful byproduct of war and a useful component of the administration's public relations. If we truly went into Iraq to rid the region of WMDs and to liberate the Iraqi people, then to go about reconstructing Iraq in any other fashion than multi-lateralism is to defy the true reason we went about all of this. We are accused of going to war for our own economic interests. I assure you, if we declare to the world that we will rebuild Iraq solely on our terms, the anti-American sentiment will shoot further through the ceiling than it already has.
We have not been very successful in our relations with the Middle East for the last 50 or so years. Maybe it's time we stopped propping up corrupt, heinous, tyrannous regimes and started supporting real democracies.
To all of you out there who are boycotting French, German and Russian products, have you ever thought that the winemaker you just put out of a job might have been for the ''liberation of the Iraqi people''? This is what happens when we lump the world into ''us and them.'' It's dangerous and unintelligent, and it needs to stop.

April Color of the Month
Designer Cathy Anderson chose April's color of the month, Silvery Blue 1647. Cathy says: "I love this color so much I have it in my own home! It is a beautiful color for any room in your home and I like to pair it with Mascarpone (AF-20) for trim. This light color creates a beautiful serene feeling that compliments any pale blue or gray accessories. It is a versatile color that works well in a modern or classic home."
Cathy has been in the interior design field for over 25 years, Her particular passion is traditional to classic designs, with a true love for glamour.

March Color of the Month
The color of the month for March, Nantucket Fog AC-22, was chosen by designer Lynda Holich. Lynda says, "Nantucket Fog is a great color for a young man or teenager's bedroom. Transitioning a teenage boy's bedroom from the baby blue of his nursery into a mature and more livable space can be complicated and I am often asked for help in choosing the right color. Nantucket Fog is a beautiful, inviting blue that pairs well with a gray color palette. Not exclusive to a boy's bedroom, this would make a beautiful color to compliment white cabinets, black granite, and stainless steel in a kitchen."
Lynda has been part of Babel's design team since 1992. Her goal is to guide her clients through the design process to create beautiful spaces that convey balance, harmony, color flow, and function. Throughout the process, Lynda works very closely with her clients to design spaces that reflect their lifestyle and personality.

Summary: Lynda Holich Interior Designer Norwood chooses March Color of the Month for Babel's Paint and Decorating Stores.
February Color of the Month
Designer Natalie McQuade chose February's color of the month, Penthouse CSP-35. Natalie says: "When I do a design consultation I either see a modern home with lots of grays and strong metals or I see a more traditional home that wants to remain timeless but still incorporate some of the modern trends. That is why I love Penthouse, it falls somewhere between the modern gray and the traditional beige and is a lovely color to compliment both types of homes. Right now, I am seeing a lot of classic linens paired with warmer colors like salmon and orange. Transitioning from traditional to modern is not as difficult as you might imagine. I love the look of a tablecloth or even a traditional soft fold roman shade with the added pop of a textured band on the bottom. Having a neutral on the wall makes it very easy to experiment with texture and color in your accessories and fabrics."
Natalie has been decorating for almost 30 years. Her exuberant sense of style reflects her enthusiasm for color and design. As an art history major, color and pattern reflect in the fabrics she chooses for her clients. She is constantly looking for new trends and techniques and is able to find beauty and new possibilities in both traditional and contemporary design.

January Color of the Month
Each month, a different Babel's interior designer discusses the current trends in interior design and chooses a Benjamin Moore color to highlight as the Babel's Color of the Month.
For January, Michael Greene, interior designer, has chosen Beach Glass 1564 to compliment the cool blues, enchanting silvers, and lush accents that are currently leading the trends in the interior design field. Michael has been making homes, offices, restaurants and even yachts look amazing for over twenty-four years. New England Cable News Network has featured him three times on Dream House; a show that showcases local design projects, and produced. He has done set design for Local Talk show on Boston's Channel 56.

Michael started his design career with Fabric Place a company well known for its superior custom work based in Framingham. Michael honed his skills and vast knowledge of custom window treatments and how important scale is to the final product. While at Fabric Place he had the pleasure of mentoring the newly hired designers he guided them through a full year of coaching to insure their projects and designs were up to the company's high standards. In 2007, Fabric Place Owners decided it was time to retire. " It was like the death of a dear friend," says Michael, "A Very Dear Friend." He is now a prominent member of the design team at Babel's where he has unlimited flexibility with product and design. Michael believes that his client's wants and needs are most important in any project. Whether it be a traditional or a contemporary design he will always masterfully surpass his client's expectations. This Designer understands that any custom work can be a major investment in your home. He also believes a well-designed space should be one you enjoy for years to come. Michael says: "Right now the current trend is all things glam: sparkles, silvers, and silks. We are seeing a lot of aqua and silver color combinations in every room. In a kitchen, white cabinetry with quartz stone counter tops offer the look of marble without the hassle of potential staining. In a master suite, upholstered headboards combined silk draperies or a statement, wallpapered, accent wall create a luxurious and relaxing space. Beach Glass is the perfect medium-light aqua to give your space a feeling of opulence and comfort." To have Michael help transform your space, stop by Babel's in Canton at 102 Washington Street, or call to schedule an appointment, 617-877-3272.

Babel's Introduces Benjamin Moore's New Color Stories Paint
Every color tells a unique story……
What do Lilianna, Summer's Day, Perfectly Pesto, and Granny Smith have in common? They are paint color names for some of the new shades of green from the new Color Stories Paint Collection from Benjamin Moore.
Wait until you see this new palette of colors which has just arrived exclusively at Babel's Paint and Decorating Store in Norwood, Ma.
What makes the Color Stories Paint System so extraordinary? "It's all about the colors" says Jeanne Babel, of Babel's Paint and Decorating Stores, "each one is truly unique." These new paint colors reside in their own universe between current, existing shades and the range of hues is limited to 200. These new colors by Benjamin Moore have been carefully chosen for their versatility, compatibility, and dependability with a variety of architectural styles and lighting environments.
And unlike most other colors in the design industry these colors are formulated without black or gray tints and so many more pigments are required per color. The result is that these colors just work better with our customer's fabrics and other décor elements.
With such an unprecedented array of truly unique and natural hues to choose from, creating your own color story has never been easier or more exciting. Inspired by nature, the senses, moments in time, found objects and pure imagination, each color tells its enticing tale. For example, one of our favorite gold tones is called Fireside Chat and on the back of the painted chip the color is described with these words "The fire's cheery glow illuminates the room with a soft light, wrapping you in a blanket of warmth and happiness." And now you can combine them into a personal palette and let them tell your story.
So, we invite you to stop by Babel's Norwood Paint and Decorating Store location for Benjamin Moore's Color Stories Paint and take a look at our new Color Story Display – we think you'll love it!
