HOUSTON (AP) -It had been so long since the Los Angeles Clippers won on the road, some players felt as if Thursday night's 99-93 victory was their first away from home this season.
Their road losing streak had stretched to 11 games, the last win coming Feb. 2. It lasted so long that Drew Gooden, acquired in a trade over a month ago, had yet to win a road game with his new team.
``It's my first road win here so I'm happy about that,' he said.
Craig Smith scored a season-high 25 points and had 10 rebounds to lead the way for the Clippers, who trailed by as many as 11 in the second half before using a big run to take the lead.
``Much needed. Much needed,' veteran guard Baron Davis said. ``It was great. Hopefully it gives us a lot of confidence for the next game going forward. It was definitely a stepping stone, a learning period and I was just proud of my teammates. We didn't really turn the ball over and we got good shots.'
The short-handed Rockets were without Shane Battier and Kevin Martin, who sat out because of a sore left shoulder.
The Rockets led by one point with about seven minutes remaining before Los Angeles scored five straight points to go on top 80-76. Houston hit two free throws before Eric Gordon scored five consecutive points to push the lead to 85-78.
``They started off strong that first quarter but we stayed with it, stayed strong,' Gooden said. ``They ran out of gas and we took advantage of that.'
Houston cut the lead to three points on a 3-pointer by Trevor Ariza with about two minutes left, but Smith made a free throw followed by a jump shot by Davis to make it 92-86 with less than a minute remaining.
``Tough loss,' Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. ``Our guys played hard. We just had some breakdowns in the fourth quarter.'
A 3-pointer by Davis with 17 seconds left made it 95-88, and he turned around and smiled as most of the few fans remaining headed toward the exits.
``It's good to get the win for all the hard work our guys have put in,' coach Kim Hughes said. ``Baron really bailed us out in the fourth quarter and Craig Smith had a great game.'
The Rockets were led by Ariza and Aaron Brooks, who had 18 points apiece, and Luis Scola added 16 points and 14 rebounds.
Drew Gooden scored 17 points and had 14 rebounds for Los Angeles, Davis scored 16 and Gordon had 14.
Houston used a big run to take an 11-point lead midway through the third quarter. But Los Angeles answered with a 21-8 run to regain the lead, 69-67, with about two minutes left in the quarter.
Ariza said it's difficult to compete when the team is dealing with so many injuries.
``That's the hardest part about this game,' he said. ``We work ... all season with those guys and they go down. It takes a lot out of you. We know that coming into a game we just got to figure out ways to keep it going.'
Ariza and Smith were both shaken up early in the fourth quarter after a collision as Ariza drove to the basket. Both writhed on the court for a couple of minutes before getting up and slowly heading to the bench. Ariza was called for an offensive foul on the play.
Both players returned after a few minutes on the bench.
The Rockets used a 16-4 run to open the second half and turn a 1-point deficit into a 59-48 lead with about six minutes left in the third quarter. Three-pointers by Ariza and Chase Budinger fueled that run in a span where Los Angeles missed six shots and had three turnovers.
The Clippers got within four points early in the second quarter after a 12-6 run made it 28-24. Los Angeles then tied it four times in the next few minutes and finally went ahead, 42-40, on a layup by Gooden with about two minutes left in the first half. The Clippers led 44-43 at halftime.
It was tied 12-all in the first quarter before Houston went on a 10-0 run, capped by a rim-rattling dunk by Ariza, to take a 22-12 lead with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the quarter.
NOTES: Ariza tied a career high with eight assists. ... Budinger made his third career start on Thursday in place of Martin. ... Houston Texans defensive end Mario Williams, the first overall pick in the 2006 draft, watched the game from a courtside seat. ... DeAndre Jordan, who grew up in Houston and played a season at Texas A&M, had seven points and eight rebounds for the Clippers. ... With Thursday's performance, Scola has 30 double-doubles this season.

What to Do If Dehiscence Happens post op Butt Implants?
If this is superficial in nature, healing should continue in the absence of infection or an irritating foreign body. Clinical followup is recommended.

Wound separation after buttock implants
Any wound separation 4 weeks after surgery should definitely be brought to the attention and examined by your operating surgeon. The most important factor is to determine if the wound separation is superficial or deep exposing the implant, in which case the implant must be removed. Glad to help

Sometimes dehiscences or open wounds could happen after any surgery. You should inform and check up with your PS for avoiding infections

Dehiscence of buttocks
Sometimes dehiscence happens at the incision site. Best to discuss with your surgeon so that he can advise you about treatment.
Buttock Implant
I assume you had one incision in the midline of the iter-gluteal crease. This incision has the most complication in healing. That is why different incisions and technique is used now to decrease the risk on non healing.
A non healing wound could be due to infection, or could be superficial. If the implant is exposed, it could be infected.
You need to see your surgeon ASAP to make a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Samir Shureih MD.FACS
Incision Separation After Buttock Implants
Intergluteal incision dehiscence is not rare after buttock augmentation. In almost all cases, it will eventually heal on its own but it does take a long time. If the implants are intramuscular there is good tissue between the implant and the incision and this incisional opening is there is little risk of implant exposure/contamiantion. If the implant is subfascial there is some greater concern for the implant although good tissue between the two may exist. This necessary incision for buttock implants is exposed to a lot of shearing from sitting and this makes it slow to heal.

Towcester, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, 2010/10/21 - HiQ Easy Tyres & Autocentres has significantly boosted revenue following its investment in Pro-Align's advanced wheel alignment equipment.
Midlands based franchise HiQ Easy Tyres & Autocentres, has added a significant new revenue stream to two of its outlets following its investment in advanced wheel alignment systems from Pro-Align. The networks Kettering and Erdington branches have both installed a Hunter Hawkeye aligner, which are paired with Pro-Aligns FS40LT four post wheel alignment lifts. The new equipment has already helped increase wheel alignment work by 20 percent at the Erdington branch and a staggering 100 percent at the Kettering site.
The addition of our equipment into these two extra branches is testament to its capability, quality and proven potential as a revenue generation tool, explains Paul Beaurain, managing director, Pro-Align. With previous experience of our systems in their flagship Nottingham branch, installing additional equipment across the network was a natural choice for HiQ. The impressive upturn in alignment work which these two centres have already seen shows that wheel alignment is a must-have service for progressive retailers.
HiQ Easy Tyres & Autocentres first experienced the potential of Pro-Aligns innovative equipment when the franchise was established last year. Its Nottingham site, one of 27 it purchased across the Midlands, was already equipped with a Hunter WA series aligner, offering customers the opportunity for fast, accurate wheel alignment checks.
Pro-Aligns equipment has made a huge difference to these branches, explains John Johnston, operations manager, HiQ Easy Tyres & Autocentres. With the previous equipment, we only carried out a few tracking style checks per week, whereas now, we are carrying out five or six alignments, with additional adjustments, per day. The transparency of service, with printouts, coupled with accuracy and speed of the checks make it an invaluable workshop tool. This is helping us attract new customers as well as retain those who appreciate that we have their best interests at heart.
An increasing number of workshops are turning to wheel alignment as they seek to maximise their income in difficult trading conditions. However, the benefits of correct wheel alignment are not limited to retailers. Drivers are less likely to experience premature tyre wear if their vehicles wheels are properly aligned, their fuel consumption will be improved and their car will handle better, leading to improved safety and considerable cost savings.

The Palomar Card Club, an establishment on El Cajon Boulevard in North Park that is one of only two of its kind in San Diego, is in the process of being shut down for reasons not yet known to the public.
Investigators with the state Bureau of Gambling Control recently completed an 18-month investigation into the card room's operations and are recommending the state's Gambling Control Commission deny license renewal.
Because of the city's long-standing moratorium on card rooms — which also prohibits card-room licensees from selling or willing the licenses — the commission's decision would shut the nine-table club down permanently if it upholds staff's recommendation.
The findings of the investigation and the response from card-room representatives are confidential. State law prohibits the public disclosure of Department of Justice investigations — the bureau is an arm of the department — and any reports that reference them.
Although written reports regarding the investigation are not public, the license issue has been discussed in guarded terms at commission meetings.
According to a recording of a public commission meeting on Feb. 23, state investigators said they believe their investigation has uncovered enough issues to warrant denying the request by longtime owners Donald and Susan Staats to renew their licenses and a request by card-room manager Naseem "Nick" Salem to be placed on Palomar's license.
At the meeting, Palomar representatives denied the allegations made in the report. They offered their own evidence that they say refutes many of the findings in the bureau's report. Keith Allan Sharp, an attorney for the card room, told commissioners that investigators never contacted card-room representatives, otherwise they would have received many of the answers they sought months ago.
"I'm not saying that Mr. Salem or the Palomar card room are perfect. … They did not dot every 'i,' they did not cross every 't,' " Sharp said during the Feb. 23 licensing hearing. "One thing is abundantly clear. … At no time did they ever seek to violate the regulations or abuse or misuse their authority.
"Sound, effective … law enforcement and regulation is absolutely necessary in this industry. That regulation and enforcement requires the bureau conduct fair, balanced, objective and thorough investigations. That was not the case here."
The four-person state panel voted to table discussion until it holds an evidentiary hearing — a proceeding that would be open to the public, although held in Sacramento. The commission's final decision can be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
The Palomar has been in business since 1983, the same year the city decided to permanently limit the number of card rooms to the three that were open at the time. A downtown establishment has since closed. The other remaining establishment is The Lucky Lady Casino in El Cerrito.
Palomar was originally owned by several people before the city's moratorium on card rooms. Currently, only two of the card room's licensees are alive, Donald and Susan Staats. The couple lived in San Diego for years before moving to Loveland, Colo.
Reached by phone, Donald Staats cited crime in North Park as the reason for the move. He said the couple visits San Diego periodically to check in on the business, but has relegated day-to-day duties of running the card room to Salem, the manager.
Donald Staats said he didn't know much about the card room's issues with the state, and referred all questions to Salem.
Salem and his wife, who formed a limited liability company called University Heights LLC, applied to be listed as a "landlord/interest holder" on the card-room license, which is required by state law if someone wants to have a financial interest in the card room.
The card room also requested permission to add two tables, which the City Council unanimously endorsed last year. The commission, however, deadlocked on the vote, which is effectively a denial. The commission plans to revisit that request during the evidentiary hearing.

On Ramen Noodles and Birth Control
College students all over the country are rallying, protesting, chanting and writing petitions to get Congress to reinstate affordable birth control at university health centers.
Last week, students at the University of Houston displayed a stack of Ramen Noodles at a visibility event demanding cheaper birth control. The connection: $35 worth of Ramen Noodles could feed someone for a month — or it could purchase one month's supply of birth control. Birth control that had been only $10 a few months ago at the University of Houston health center has now more than tripled in price. And this isn't happening in just Houston. Students all over the country are demanding that Congress fix the birth control pricing problem caused by the Deficit Reduction Act before the legislative session ends in December.
At some schools, students are protesting the increase with petitions and rallies. In Iowa, where at the University of Iowa Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo jumped from $15 to $53 per month, more than 400 college students signed a petition protesting the increase in the cost of birth control. The petition will be delivered to the state's Senators next month. Students from New York University rallied in Washington Square Park while chanting, "Birth control shouldn't break the bank, who in congress do we thank?" and "What do we want? Birth control! How do we want it? Cheap!"
Another way students are making their voices heard is by writing letters to the editors and news stories for their school papers. At Washington University in St. Louis, MO, students wrote, "Birth control is a facet of basic health care and all women should have easy and affordable access to it. If Congress is truly serious about reducing the rate of unintended pregnancies, then fixing this law should be a top priority."
Lastly, and most impressively, students are reaching out to university spokespeople and officials in order to demand Congress' attention and action. A few weeks ago, the University of Montana at Missoula's student government association (ASUM) passed a resolution expressing the association's support for discounted birth control for students and pledged to contact Montana's congressional delegation about the issue. Legislators may be able to ignore students, but I believe university presidents and regents will make elected officials think twice about ignoring this issue.

The issue, after all, is an easy, no-cost fix. In fact, legislation has already been introduced by the Congress that would restore access to affordable birth control for college and not-for-profit health clinics. The bill is called the Prevention Through Affordable Access Act and already has more than 100 sponsors in the House. To help ensure the passage of the Prevention through Affordable Access Act, check out Lon Newman's action suggestions!

Isles of Shoals, Maine
From FamilySearch Wiki
Isles of Shoals is an extinct town on a set of islands six miles off shore in the Gulf of Maine. The islands are divided by the New Hampshire-Maine border, and the Maine-side is now part of the town of Kittery in York County, Maine. The town was first called Apledoore (aka Appledore), but the name was changed to Isles of Shoals by 1665. In 1696 the Town of Kittery annexed those islands on the Maine side of the border.[1] About 1700 the entire settlement on Apledoore moved for a time to nearby Star Island (New Hampshire) to avoid the heavier taxes imposed by Maine-Massachusetts.[2]

Kittie Set Title for Career-Spanning Documentary, Share Video Update
Published Mar 03, 2016
According to director Rob McCallum, the band have set Kittie: Origins/Evolutions as the title of their forthcoming doc. In a video update, McCallum breaks down the structure of the film in detail.
"This is going to be somewhat of a two-part documentary," he said. "The first part will be 'Origins' and it will look at the first ten years of the band's history. And the second part will be 'Evolutions' and it will take a look at the second half of the band's history so far. So you can see the ten-and-ten split really kind of makes sense."
McCallum also reports that there is still some additional shooting to be done and that each half may run around 80 minutes in length. The video update also includes a rough cut of the film, featuring snippets of interviews with guitarist Fallon Bowman and founding siblings Morgan and Mercedes Lander.
Watch the video update in the player below. Thanks to Blabbermouth for the tip.
Kittie Documentary Update!
Here it is! An update from director Rob McCallum about the progress of the doc, answering some of your questions, and an exclusive first look! #Kittie #documentary #firstlookPosted by Kittie on Wednesday, 2 March 2016

For literally my entire life, Windows has been a Start button, a taskbar, and a desktop. And for many people, that's all the computer has ever been. Now with Windows 8, Microsoft is making consumers learn a whole new experience with no video tutorial or help at first boot besides a video on how to go to the Start screen. It's a confusing mess for people who just want familiarity when they use a computer.
For some reason, though, I like it.
In terms of the UI, the majority of users are not going to understand how it works. The idea is that the "Modern" experience is the same across all Microsoft products, so people with an Xbox or a Windows Phone can pick up Windows 8 on a PC easily. But not everyone has an Xbox, and most people aren't willing to give Windows Phone a try. Now I don't have an Xbox, but back in September of 2011, I gave Windows Phone a try. It was a Samsung Focus that cost a penny on Amazon. That gives you a feel for how many people aren't buying Windows Phone. Instantly, I fell in love. It was the only phone I've ever owned that didn't drop frames when loading information in the background, and it was never slow. Unfortunately, I cracked the screen when it fell out of my pocket, so I had to use an old iPhone 3GS. If that had never happened, I'd still be a happy Windows Phone user. It was that experience that made me excited for Windows 8. I had grown up and dealt with the general slowness of Windows; I couldn't wait for the fast Modern UI, and I wasn't disappointed.
At first boot, it seems Windows loads up slower than before. I use a Lenovo IdeaCentre K320 with an i3 processor and a keyboard and mouse. On my desktop, I dual-boot Ubuntu. First it loads the boot screen, then I have to choose Windows, and then it finally loads into Windows. When I log in, the computer is never slow. Apps load up quickly and there are no dropped frames when scrolling. The Modern UI gives Windows a more stable feel. I've never had a Modern app crash (I can't say the same of classic apps). Sure, with my dual display setup, I get both the classic desktop and the Modern UI on two screens, but I don't mind it. For me, it's easy to adjust, and that way, I can keep TweetDeck open on the desktop and have the other desktop or an app open on the other screen. The Modern apps, with the Windows Store, are what I really like about Windows 8. They're all beautifully designed, and all work the same way. If you want to open up a menu of options, you right-click. If you want to change a setting, you put your mouse in the top or bottom right corner, and click settings. It maintains familiarity with the apps, and a user knows that all apps work the same. Now, the user may never figure that out because, again, there are no instructions on how to work the Modern UI, but if they ever do, it becomes easy.
Windows 8 certainly is not easy out of the box; for most consumers, it's a whole new experience to learn. But for people like me who don't mind a confusing dual interface in exchange for a more stable feel, it's worth it.

United Suppliers, Inc., and Agren, Inc., announced a collaboration to demonstrate and market conservation planning services to United Suppliers' leading-edge owners and customers.
Sustainability and water management are current themes in agriculture that continue to grow in importance, both at the grower and retailer levels. Iowa's Nutrient Strategy outlines the need for reductions in the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus discharged into Iowa's rivers and streams. United Suppliers recognizes this need and is committed to exploring innovative ways to help its owners and their growers succeed.
United Suppliers has hired Stan Buman, formerly of Agren, to lead an effort to bring conservation planning services to United Suppliers' owners and growers. Buman will utilize Agren's web-based conservation planning software to provide fast and accurate conservation plans to growers through United Suppliers' network of ag retailer agronomists. Service offerings include soil loss estimates and initial planning of conservation structures, including grassed waterways, water and sediment control basins, ponds and wetlands.
"The new conservation planning service will provide growers assistance in exploring conservation alternatives that best meet their needs," said United Suppliers President & CEO Brad Oelmann." Agren's software allows us to provide precision ag data-layers for soil loss and steepness that are unmatched by any other program."
"We are excited about working with United Suppliers to provide an innovative service to their owners and their owners' growers," said Agren CEO Tom Buman. "We are passionate about agriculture and soil and water conservation and look forward to the opportunities this initiative brings to landowners."

Learning for All Ages Program Now Being Developed at GC
- Details
- Created on Thursday, 27 September 2012 10:39
An experiment in lifelong learning is about to begin through Continuing Education at Garrett College and interested individuals are invited to become part of the process. The experiment is to develop a group of like-minded people, with curious minds and a keen interest in learning - just for the fun of it. Members of the group will take control of the learning, steer the direction of class offerings, and share the talents, knowledge, and skills gained over a lifetime. The group may decide to delve into history, religion, business, or philosophy, or perhaps follow a passion for science, travel, art, or music. This is an opportunity to take part in developing a college and community of friends –no stress, no prerequisites, no grades, no tests, just the joy of learning together.
An initial organizational meeting will be held Tuesday, Oct. 16, 6:30pm – 8 p.m. in the Continuing Education building on Garrett College's McHenry campus. Light refreshments will be served. During the meeting examples of successful programs at several four- year Universities will be presented to drive discussion for setting a framework for a program to serve Garrett County citizens.
Garrett College Continuing Education and Workforce Development program coordinator Sue Fowler is spearheading this developmental process. "We would like to hear from everyone one who is interested in this initiative even if they can't attend this initial meeting. We want people to bring their ideas, resources, and thoughts about what possibilities lay ahead. We encourage people to come to learn more about being a student, a teacher, a planner, or a friend and to just get involved," Fowler said.
Anyone interested in participating in creating this proram may call Fowler at 301 387-3087.

Diasporian News of Friday, 28 September 2012
Source: Kwashie Amartei Anang
The Medway Ghanaian Association (MGA) went on a historical tour of the UK House of Commons and Lords on the 17th of September 2012, upon the invitation extended to them by Member of Parliament for Gillingham and Rainham, Hon. Rehman Chishti.
The visit was historical, because it was an opportunity for most Ghanaians, Ghanaian descendants and British with Ghanaian heritage living in Medway and its surrounding towns to find out how the UK parliamentary system works. It was also an opportunity for members of MGA to meet for the first time a renowned Ghanaian Photographer and artist Mr James Barnor who attended the University College of Art in Rochester in the 1960's and used to live in Medway.
The tour started at 11:30 GMT with the tour guide taking members of MGA to various rooms in the House of Commons and Lords and telling them the purpose for the rooms and the historical background of the room and artistic works of the rooms. Members on the tour were astounded when the guide told them that Ghana did present a desk to the UK House of Common as they were expecting something bigger than a desk due to the relationship between UK and Ghana.
At the end of the tour members of MGA met with the Hon. MP for Gillingham and Rainham, Rehman Chishti for a friendly discussion. Members wanted to know what encouraged the MP to go to parliament to which he answered and said he has always wanted to help people hence the reason to go to parliament. There were other questions such as the development of Medway, cutting of funding for NHS and voluntary organisation, cost of transportation in Medway and funding for new voluntary association like MGA. After the discussion MGA took the opportunity to invite the MP to their Black history month celebration which falls on the 27th of October 2012.

Assassin's Creed III
Review by Scottie theNerd
"A stab in the right direction, or is the series losing its edge?"
When you are this far into a series, it's easy to make a mistake somewhere. Perhaps the plot becomes dry, or too much gameplay is changed, or perhaps too many unwanted features creep in. Ubisoft has a tough job ahead with its successful Assassin's Creed franchise, and boldly moves away from the romantic Renaissance to the harsh frontiers and the political intrigue of Colonial America.
The series picks up the dual story of the modern-day Assassins with Desmond Miles taking the lead, but his virtual experience in the Animus takes on a new character. Parting from the charismatic Ezio, Desmond experiences the life of Connor, a half-European half-Mohawk warrior who faces conflict both in the politically unstable colonies as well as his own internal struggle of identity and loyalty. For players new to the series, the game does a decent job of recapping the major events and covering the controls and combat, though many of the references may be elusive without further reading. Though some find American history less than appealing, the manner in which historical figures are woven into the plot is remarkable. Far from being a God Bless America simulator, the Revolutionary War contains enemies on both sides as commanders cross moral boundaries and conspiracies threaten Loyalists and Patriots alike.
The look and feel of the game will be familiar with fans of the series. As with his predecessors, Connor can use a wide range of weaponry to execute awesome combat techniques, and traverse the crowded streets and rooftops of Boston and New York using his parkour skills. Following trends in the previous games, Ubisoft has tried to streamline these aspects of the game. Free-running is easier than ever, most notably in Connor's fluid interaction with the environment. When walking, Connor can stick to a wall and peek around a corner to eavesdrop. When running, he will push himself off with his hands. He also seems to pick his way through crowds more efficiently, and his climbing moves get him around faster than Ezio ever did. It's the sort of game that rewards the player by allowing them to pull off flashy moves with minimal effort, and considering you'll be doing this for most of the game, it's nice to make free-running less cumbersome. Apart from a few glitches that can get Connor stuck on ledges, the navigation part of the game is fairly smooth and is the least of the game's worries.
Apart from exploring the cities and unearthing the conspiracies that lay there, Connor can explore the massive Frontier. Toted as being larger than Rome from Brotherhood, the Frontier serves as a transition area similar to the Kingdom from the first game. However, there are far more places of interest as well as numerous mission and side missions. The Frontier is arguably the most beautiful area in the game, really showcasing the incredible visuals of the wild, untamed and untainted wilderness. Connor also comes across wildlife that can be hunted, which he can then trade in for money to buy weapons and items. The game features an active day/night cycle and changing seasons, which can alter his interaction with the environment. During winter, characters will struggle to trudge through the snow. Thankfully, Connor can also climb and leap through trees, which has been surprisingly well planned out and serves as a diverse alternative to running or riding.
Combat has received a general revamp. While Ezio was primarily focused on counter-attacking gameplay, Connor's combat is a balance of aggression and reactive defense. Instead of waiting for attacks, Connor can enter into quick combos to dispatch enemies and can break through defences of tougher opponents. Enemies too are more aggressive, and the combat really shines in these cinematic moments. Hitting a parry at the right time will put the fight into slo-mo, and the player can opt to use several attacks, with certain enemies being susceptible only against particular moves. This slo-mo actually works quite well, giving time for the player to plan kill chains in advance, yet forcing the player to react to sudden attacks mid-way. For example, Connor can use enemies as shields to block musket volleys or perform double-counters.
The latter is especially pleasant to watch. The animations are better than ever, highlighting the brutality of the Assassin, whether it is hacking away with his signature tomahawk or a flurry of stabs with his improved hidden blades. Double-counter kills are well choreographed and at times contain some slapstick battle humour, such as Connor causing enemies to shoot each other, or using an enemy's bayonet to stab someone else. The transitions between kill animations and the rest of the fight are seamless. It certainly carries the cinematic feel, and doesn't punish you for enjoying the show, though some players may feel that the game is too reliant on quick-time event presses instead of actual fighting.
Aside from the main storyline of hunting down Templars and getting his hands dirty in the events leading up to and including the Revolution, Connor can occupy himself with the usual range of side missions. Most notable is the inclusion of naval battles. Later in the story, Connor has access to his own frigate, which is used in its own line of missions and several times in the central plot. This has to be the biggest surprise in the game, being exceptionally well executed. The controls are simple and the gameplay is arcade-like, so it doesn't get bogged down in simulation-level complexity. As captain, Connor can adjust between full and half sails, steer the ship and direct broadsides. Many of the missions are incredibly challenging yet fun to play through, and sinking ships with grape shot or ramming a man-o-war really doesn't get old.
If war and bloodshed get tiring for you, there's the Homestead to retreat to. Serving as the home base for Connor, the Homestead is a region that can be populated by civilians that you help out along the way. Each one specialises in a trade and can generate income for your Homestead, and they also have their own stories and missions that see them grow as a community. The closeness of the Homestead community is a pleasant welcome and is actually one of the most enjoyable things you interact with.
The multiplayer side is the same dog-eat-dog (or rather assassins assassinating assassins, but you try saying that) kind of gameplay in previous instalments. It's fairly fun and challenging, and the concept is even better in AC3. I personally didn't find it very addictive after a while, but others can get more mileage from the reward scheme and story unlocks.
So far, the game is a nice addition to the series, but the game suffers tremendously from several design flaws and questionable features.
One of the largest complaints is the poor plot. Though the story is up to the writers' discretion, the way the story was told was too predictable, made use of too many simplified tropes and, apart from one particular twist, failed to show anything remarkable. The characters are forgettable, with perhaps one good one (Haytham Kenway think James Bond with a hidden blade). Connor himself is a widely criticised character. Though his portrayal is strongly influenced by authentic research on native peoples, his stoic character comes across as too shallow and blunt, with his only motive being seemingly to kill a particular character. He's a tough character to relate to or understand, and a far cry from the charming Ezio that we've grown to love. If anything, he fails to appear to be like an Assassin, and he lacks a strong supporting cast. By the end of the game, it's really hard to see why the player has to go through such minimalistic plot development despite extremely heavy dialogue scenes.
The menus and interfaces are unbelievably clumsy and awkward, which is a huge shame considering how Brotherhood had a fairly streamlined method of accessing equipment. Worst of all is the Crafting system. Meant to replace the passive money-generating economy from previous games, players can use the Homestead to create items. Some of them are equipment upgrades, but the majority are goods which serve absolutely no function in the game. They can be traded on convoys, but you only really need to trade pelts, with every other item having no use whatsoever. Furthermore, items have to crafted or loaded onto convoys individually they cannot be stacked or multiplied, and the screen doesn't remember your last selection, so you have to navigate through the clumsy menu for every item.
And just to put salt in that wound, some items require processed materials. Basically, if you want to create a particular pouch, you need sewing threads. To get threads, you need flax. You get flax, you buy them from your Stockpile page in your Homestead, then select them via the menu to craft (multiply that by how many you need), then you need to select the item to craft and voila! Yes, it's utterly ridiculous that you have to buy materials from your own homestead to craft other materials that are then used to make items that you don't need.
Even money seems to have no use. Sure, there are expensive ship upgrades, but there's nothing else to really spend money on. You can buy maps to collect chests and feathers, and you can buy weapons, but the combat system relies on one-hit kills from proper decision-making and reaction, so getting better weapons seems pointless when your base weapons already do everything.
Speaking of pointlessness, the civilian missions don't even bother to tell you why you're doing them. Practically any sandbox game, be it an Assassin's Creed game or GTA, will give you a short scene that tells you what to do and why you're doing it. The previous game allowed you to build relations with certain factions and eliminate important targets. Connor doesn't get that. You interact with a mission NPC, and your logbook gets updated with a list of random people walking around for you to kill without any relevance or rationale. Or you get a shopping list of items for Connor to fetch and deliver (even though you can sell them individually for far more profit), or letters to give. No reason, no time limit, no point. Even Altair's random flag-grabbing challenged you to complete free-running courses in a time limit. AC3 is insulting with its blatant omission of meaningful side quests.
And what happened to the Assassin Dens and Templar Lairs? The ones that challenge you to figure out how to free-run through dungeons and labyrinths under time constraints? What you get instead is an underground tunnel system with simplistic puzzles and an optional mission line that can be completed by moving forward and holding down the right mouse button until you have to move left or right.
Then there are small gripes and bugs that persistently annoy you. Controls are too sensitive, causing you to randomly jump off trees and into haystacks when you least want to. Lockpicking is surprisingly hard. You get lots of equipment that isn't explained and never has a use, but they keep on vanishing from your inventory at random points. Certain weapons are glitched and replace your selected loadout. The bugs aren't game-breaking in any way, but how does a game get released when bugs like disappearing items are blatantly still in the game?
The biggest disappointment is that you never feel like an Assassin. The story doesn't make use of the rich history of Assassins provided by the previous games, and instead seems to ignore all established lore and start anew. The poor mission design reflects this disengagement with the Assassin theme: instead of carefully planning out assassination on specific targets or using social stealth, Connor more or less follows a guy obsessively until he gets a chance to run up and chop him. There's nothing subtle about the way you approach missions no stealth, no reward for being careful, and the optional objectives are counter-intuitive and frustrating to achieve at times.
Assassin's Creed III seems to be three lies in one. It's technically not the third game in the series; you don't do anything related to Assassins and the Creed is never mentioned or hinted at. It certainly isn't a bad game it's deserving of a playthrough and it's quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, Ubisoft really set a high standard for themselves with Assassin's Creed II, and even the first Assassin's Creed is superior in many ways. For such a large development team and with time on their side, they did supremely well with the atmosphere and environment design, but everything else felt poorly put together.
What's interesting is where Ubisoft will take the series from here. You don't have to make a clone of previous games, Ubisoft, but some things aren't permitted.

Ratings for Dr. Suraj Alva
I remember reading these reviews while i was waiting to meet Dr Alva for the first time in the ER. He performed an emergency colon resection on me and I am beyond happy he was my surgeon. He is professional and has the best bedside manner. He explains everything really well and is very compassionate. My surgery and recovery went well and i have Dr Alva to thank. This is the first time i am reviewing a doctor but i wanted to put this on here in case anyone was in the same situation i was in. He really is the best doc i have ever seen - i put my trust in him and he did not disappoint.
Dr. Alva performed colon surgery on me for Diverticulitis. He is actually a fantastic doctor. I enjoyed teasing him a lot and he was a good sport about it. Very caring, highly skilled surgeon and has a good sense of humor. My surgery was performed via Laparoscopy and the results were/are excellent. Pretty much no external scarring either. Could not ask for a better doctor. (I am his favorite patient)
He fixed complex fistula. He has great bed side manners.
Very compassionate and patient doctor. He fixed my problems
Had Fistula surgery by this Doctor. It's been a year and still suffering. Went to a different group to find out I had a botched procedure that won't heel. Was told it was a simple procedure. Made me suffer with an in office procedure that should have been done in the Hospital due to brutal pain. Seek treatment elsewhere. I now have to have corrective surgery to fix the first.

Khartoum -
A surging number of hungry refugees are fleeing fighting in Sudan where some are reduced to foraging in the wild, the UN said Monday, amid new allegations of Sudanese air strikes.
In South Kordofan state, where insurgents deny being backed by South Sudan, a Sudanese air raid killed a mother and two children, the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) said.
Air raids also continued over the weekend against South Sudanese frontline positions, the South Sudanese army said, despite an African Union order last week that the two nations cease border hostilities within 48 hours.
Sudan denied bombing in South Kordofan or South Sudan.
There has been "a notable increase in the number of new arrivals" who have crossed the border from South Kordofan into South Sudan's Unity state, the United Nations humanitarian agency (OCHA) said in its weekly bulletin.
The refugees are fleeing fighting between Sudanese troops and the SPLM-N, it said.
An average of 234 people crossed into the South every day in April, compared with 84 per day in February and March, the bulletin added.
The most serious border clashes yet between Sudan and South Sudan raged in April around the Heglig oil region, which is part of South Kordofan state.
South Sudan occupied the Heglig area for 10 days and Sudan carried out air strikes over the border in Unity state.
Elsewhere in South Kordofan, SPLM-N rebels besieged the town of Talodi into early April and, after a lull, fighting in the area intensified later in the month.
"Newly arrived refugees told UNHCR that food shortages, concerns that they may not be able to reach Yida with the rainy season approaching and intense fighting in their places of origin have prompted them to move to Yida," said the OCHA bulletin, covering the week to April 22.
Some reported "that they were relying on wild food" because fighting prevented them from planting and there was limited food for sale, it said.
Yida refugee camp is a key destination for people fleeing the fighting in South Kordofan, which began in June last year.
A mother and her two children were killed on Friday when a Sudanese plane bombed a village around Umm Durain, about 40
kilometres (25 miles) southeast of the state capital Kadugli, said SPLM-N spokesman Arnu Ngutulu Lodi.
Both sides said there had been renewed fighting around the strategic town of Talodi, southeast of Umm Durain.
Sudan has cited security concerns in controlling access for foreign relief agencies to South Kordofan and Blue Nile state, where a similar conflict began in September.
The UN and others have warned for months that aid agencies need access throughout the area Ä including to rebel-held zones - to properly assess people's needs and distribute assistance to prevent a worsening of the humanitarian situation.
The ethnic insurgents in South Kordofan fought alongside southern rebels during the civil war which ended in 2005, before the South's independence last July.
Sudanese cross-border air raids that continued after the end of the Heglig occupation drew swift international condemnation.
But Khartoum says the South's continued support for rebels inside Sudan undermines the north's stability.
South Sudan also accuses the north of backing rebels on its territory, an allegation the north denies.
"There has been fighting in Wedakona, Upper Nile state, with Khartoum supported militias", Southern army spokesman Philip Aguer told AFP, adding the combat continued early Monday.
He said that over the weekend Sudanese warplanes dropped four bombs near a forward position of the South's army in Unity state's Panakuach, about 20 kilometres from Heglig.
Sudan on Saturday expressed confidence in the African Union but rejected UN Security Council involvement in efforts to end weeks of border clashes that have raised fears of a wider war.
The Security Council has started talks on a resolution that could allow sanctions against Sudan and South Sudan if they do not end their clashes which broke out one month ago.
Russia, a veto-wielding member of the Security Council, signalled its agreement Monday with the US-backed resolution, after Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met his Sudanese counterpart Ali Karti in Moscow.
Also Monday, Sudan continued to hold four foreigners captured by the country's army along the tense southern border.
They are reportedly in good health, Norway's ambassador said, but diplomats still had not been given access to them. - Sapa-AFP

Peyton Manning's Colts Career Ends, More Cheesy Peyton Videos Begin
Indy cries.
If everyday breakups went as smoothly as the press conference at Colts headquarters Wednesday, you'd see far fewer people staying in dysfunctional relationships merely to avoid the pain and anguish that comes with ending it.
Colts owner Jim Irsay and longtime quarterback/franchise icon Peyton Manning held a joint press conference on Wednesday morning that was the gold standard for how a football team and its star player should part ways when circumstances trump emotion.
In the severance of most relationships, it's always somebody's fault. The old saying goes "It's not you, it's me." In the case of the Colts and Manning, it wasn't "you," it wasn't "me," it just...well, it just was. And Wednesday's gathering reflected that.
If you missed the press conference, here is the video:

It was about as classy an exit as one could orchestrate, with Peyton getting equally choked up over having to say good-bye to equipment managers as he was teammates. Manning was human, despondent about closing out this chapter of his adulthood, and cautiously excited (and maybe a little nervous) about what the future holds for him.
One thing we know that it will hold is more football. Attention didn't have to turn to where Manning may take his next snaps because, frankly, it's already been there. Vegas has been taking action on where Peyton Manning will be come the start of the 2012 season since about the time his brother Eli was handed the keys to a new Corvette for winning the MVP of Super Bowl XLVI.
For what it's worth, Houstonians, the Texans are forecast as having a 4 percent chance at landing Manning, which is 4 percent too many if you believe Houston Chronicle beat writer John McClain (and in matters like this, I do). The Texans are committed to Matt Schaub, and frankly, with the bidding war that inevitably will take place for Manning's services, the price tag is going to become too rich for the cap-strapped Texans even if they did want in.
The good news for the Texans is that, unlike Mario Williams (for whom Jacksonville and Tennessee are legitimate landing spots), there is virtually no chance that Manning stays in the AFC South. Worst case, he winds up with a team on the Texans 2012 schedule like the Jets or Dolphins. So now Indianapolis moves on to the next era, and while they drown in their tears, Indy should be reminded that the football gods have been kind enough to deal them a Manning exit strategy that includes the next Peyton Manning coming in starting next season in Andrew Luck. In short, we don't feel sorry for you, Indy.
We close this story and the Peyton Manning Era with this cheeseball video from a Colts fan to the tune of the Eagles' "Desperado"....

JERUSALEM -- Israeli troops fired from tanks and helicopter gunships at Palestinian gunmen holed up in a West Bank house Wednesday, killing one man and wounding two in an incursion into a Palestinian-controlled town. In a separate raid, Israeli troops arrested 17 suspected militants in a West Bank village.
Despite the fighting, Palestinian officials said Israel eased some restrictions, permitting the rebuilding of the landing strip at Gaza International Airport which Israeli forces destroyed this month, and agreeing to reopen the border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
Troops also opened roads in and out of the West Bank town of Jericho, but barriers around other Palestinian communities remained in place.
Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said he believed Palestinians and Israelis can now resume peace talks after 15 months of violence, and that the worst is behind them.
''I think that the chances for peace had reached the lowest point, the zero point, in relations between the Palestinian Autonomy and Israel,'' Peres said during a visit to the Ukraine. ''I think we have departed from the zero point and begun to move.''
However, the moderate Peres does not necessarily speak for hardline Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Earlier this week, after Peres and Palestinian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Qureia confirmed they have been talking about the terms of resuming peace talks, Sharon angrily denied knowledge of the contacts. Only later did Sharon confirm he knew about the Peres-Qureia talks.
Environment Minister Tsachi Hanegbi, chairman of the Likud's central committee, said Wednesday he wants to convene the body of about 3,000 members to pass a resolution opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state. The move is aimed against Sharon, who has said a Palestinian state is inevitable, but that Israel must try to keep its dimensions small.
Israeli and Palestinian security commanders met Wednesday at the Erez crossing between Israel and Gaza Strip, their first talks in a week.
The two sides agreed to reopen the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, which had been closed off and on during 15 months of fighting, said the Palestinian police chief in Gaza, Maj. Gen. Abdel Razek Majaidie.
Majaidie said Israel also agreed to let Palestinians rebuild the landing strip at Gaza International Airport, which Israeli bulldozers tore up earlier this month as part of a campaign to prevent Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat from traveling abroad. The Israelis said they had no objection to the repairs.
However, Raanan Gissin, Sharon's spokesman, said that despite the airport reopening, Arafat would not be allowed to travel until Palestinian police arrest the assassins of an Israeli Cabinet minister gunned down in October. Arafat has been stuck in the West Bank town of Ramallah since Dec. 3, when Israel destroyed his helicopters in a reprisal raid.
after Palestinian suicide bomb attacks in Jerusalem and Haifa.
In the West Bank town of Jenin, a gunfight erupted Wednesday after Israeli troops said they spotted several armed Palestinians and chased them into a building in town. Israeli tanks drove about 300 meters into Jenin, residents said.
The military said soldiers encircled the house, and a gun battle ensued. Tanks fired two shells at the building, and helicopter gunships also opened fire. Palestinian officials said a 50-year-old Palestinian was killed and two others were wounded, including a policeman. The army said one of those hit by Israeli fire was armed.
Earlier Wednesday, Israeli troops entered the village of Azun, which is under joint Israeli-Palestinian control, and arrested 17 suspected militants, the army said. Five of those arrested were Palestinian policemen, according to the mayor.

A day in the life of a cosmetology student
by MatchCollege.com Staff
You wake up. The alarm rings, over and over as your eyes adjust and you fight the urge to slam your palm into the machine that has become your bane. You wipe away the sleep from your eyes, and then squint from the raw sunlight that has begun to punch your retina. A short walk to the bathroom, some water splashing, some soap foaming, some facial contact, and you're ready to face the kitchen. Some coffee and a piece of toast with jam and butter, then breakfast is over. A quick change in the bedroom and it's out the door, into the car, and off to school.
You try to make good time; rushing into the classroom with burst, followed by the realization you're actually five minutes early. Good for you, now the hard part begins. Your mannequin head is laid out on the stand and your scissors are in your hand. The instructor, a wizened sage imparting her beauty knowledge, looks over at you and asks you to demonstrate a new cut you learned the day before. You're ready; or at least you think you are, you've been practicing the motions, training your fingers to bend in horrible positions in order to get the right layer and length. You try, and as you try a cramp in your fingers starts to form. You pull away from the head, shake your fingers, and for a moment you are a professional, focused only on the job, making the cut the way it should be made. The instructor watches you, feels your determination, congratulates you, and points out where you can improve.
Up next it's time to practice manicure and pedicure. The group enters the classroom, half are selected to apply, the other half to receive. You recline in your chair and watch as one of your friends works over your fingers, the dipping, the drying, the application, and the gentle brush stroke that glides over your nail. You take it all in. The instructor comes by and offers some advice on technique, the proper amount of polish, the width of the stroke, examining nail health and the like. You jot down her words in your notebook. Soon it's over and the roles are reversed, and you find yourself looking at nails slightly differently. You note discoloration, frayed cuticle edges and rough nail tips. You work hard on each nail, and upon review your work does not go unnoticed. You feel as though you've taken one step closer.
At lunch time you look over your notes, read some of the text, take in a spoonful of fruit salad, and repeat. Lunch goes quickly and the adrenaline is waning, you start to feel tired, but you work through it, make your way to class. Today's lesson is customer care. The instructor illustrates scenarios wherein customers are displeased with service. The class is asked how they would respond, it becomes role play. The customer complains about the quality of the hair cut, you claim it was done to her specification, she says it is too short, you point her to the no refund policy, she fumes and walks off. You are informed that you dealt with the customer poorly and have lost future potential business. Others step in, offering suggestions on how to keep the customer happy; you listen intently and write in your notebook "always keep the customer happy.â€
The day ends. You leave the school and head home. You prepare a small dinner of salad, chicken and rice; you spread your notes and textbook out on the table. You alternate reading and eating, sentence, food, sentence, food. Once done you place the plate in the sink, head into the living room, pull out your practice head and get to work. A few hours later you're asleep, ready to start all over when the next day begins.
A word about Cosmetology:
Cosmetology is not an easy profession. It requires many skills and knowledge from multiple fields, steady hands and a lot of experience. Finding a beauty school can mean a successful career for the aspiring student. Every program is different; they vary from school, city and state. This is due to the licensing laws that are put forth in each state, and the accreditation requirements of the National Accrediting Commission for Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) for beauty and cosmetology schools.
Some programs can be as short as eight months, others longer, and it is up to the student to find the school that will fit his or her needs. A student must take advantage of every opportunity their school provides; this includes job placement and internship opportunities. The cost of school will also vary, some schools may include the materials as part of the tuition, others may not, an aspiring student should factor this information when making their decision.
Cosmetology is a growing field, and is quickly becoming the second career of many professionals looking for a change. The opportunities for an aspiring cosmetologist are many but going down that road takes dedication.

Jeff Gordon kept his hopes of winning a fifth Sprint Cup Series championship alive by winning his first race of the season on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.
Gordon passed Matt Kenseth for the lead with 21 laps remaining and then held off Kenseth at the finish by 0.6 seconds to win the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 — the seventh race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
It was Gordon's 88th career victory in NASCAR's premier series but his first since the 2012 season-finale at Homestead (33-races ago). He also scored his eighth win at Martinsville, which placed him in a tie with his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, for third on the track's all-time race winners list. Gordon's last victory here came in October 2005.
Kenseth's second-place run coupled with a fifth-place finish for Johnson allowed Kenseth to move into a points tie with Johnson. Both drivers have 2,294 points apiece with just three races to go — Texas (next Sunday), Phoenix (Nov. 10) and Homestead (Nov. 17).
With the win, Gordon climbed from fifth to third in the Chase standings. He is now 27 points behind Kenseth and Johnson.
Two days before the Chase began at Chicagoland, Gordon was added as the 13th driver in the Chase field due to the controversial finish in the Sept. 7 regular-season-ending race at Richmond. The sanctioning body made the decision to include him in the playoffs in what NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France described as "an unprecedented and extraordinary set of circumstances that unfolded in multiple different ways" at Richmond. Gordon finished eighth there but had come up only one point short of qualifying for the Chase.
Gordon became the 16th different race winner in Sprint Cup this season. His fourth and most recent championship in the series came in 2001.
Kenseth is credited with leading the point standings by virtue of his series- leading seven wins this season compared to five victories for Johnson. Kenseth led a race-high 202 laps. He has yet to win at Martinsville in 28 attempts.
Johnson led a total of 123 laps, in an attempt to win his third consecutive Martinsville race. The five-time series champion took over the top ranking in the Chase after last weekend's race at Talladega, holding a four-point advantage over Kenseth.
Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, the pole sitter, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Greg Biffle and Jamie McMurray, who won at Talladega, completed the top-10.
Harvick remained fourth in points (-28), while Kyle Busch dropped from third to fifth (-36) following his 15th-place finish. Bowyer moved up two positions to sixth (-55).

Michael Praed and Colin Buchanan to Star in UK Tour of DANGEROUS CORNER, Autumn 2014
A brand new production of J.B. PRIESTLEY'S classic play DANGEROUS CORNER, starring Robin of Sherwood's MICHAEL PRAED and Dazeil and Pascoe's COLIN BUCHANAN will tour the UK this autumn, directed by the former head of London's acclaimed Almeida Theatre - MICHAEL ATTENBOROUGH.
From the writer of An Inspector Calls, J.B. PRIESTLEY'S first play DANGEROUS CORNER is a timeless classic mystery where a chance remark at a dinner party exposes a world of murder and conspiracy.
Known for his iconic portrayal in the classic TV series Robin of Sherwood, MICHAEL PRAED's other screen credits include the hit shows Dynasty and Riders. On stage he recently led the UK tours of High Society, The Sound of Music and An Ideal Husband. COLIN BUCHANAN is best known for playing D.I Pascoe for eleven years in the hit BBC television series Dalziel and Pascoe.
They are joined by a strong ensemble cast that includes KIM THOMSON, best known for her role as Faye Lamb in ITV's Emmerdale and MATT MILNE, who starred in Steven Spielberg's movie adaptation of War Horse and is fresh from his onscreen performance as Footman Alfred Nugent in Downton Abbey.
Completing the cast are LAUREN DRUMMOND, who has had major roles in the TV dramas Holby City and Waterloo Road and FINTY WILLIAMS, whose film credits include Gosford Park and Mrs Brown.
All seems well at the Caplan's independent publishing house until a can of worms is unceremoniously ripped open at Robert and Freda Caplan's dinner party. A chance remark plunges the guests into a re-examination of the mysterious events surrounding the recent death of young Martin Caplan and skeletons come crashing out of the closet in more ways than one. Life will never be the same again... or will it?
DANGEROUS CORNER will launch at the Windsor Theatre Royal on Tuesday 2 September.
