YORK — The York County Council late Monday announced its unanimous selection of Bill Shanahan as county manager.
The announcement came after more than three hours of closed-door meetings with the countys two finalists for the position.
There were two extremely strong candidates, said County Council Chairman Britt Blackwell. We could have done well with either one.
Shanahan is the deputy administrator for the city of Augusta, Ga. The council will begin negotiating a contract immediately. If Shanahan accepts the offer, Blackwell expects the next county manager to be in place by the end of September.
Some of the council members felt he just glowed, talking from the heart, Blackwell said of Shanahan.
Shanahan was selected over Steve Layson, the chief administrative officer of Bibb County, Ga.
The search for county manager has been ongoing since January when Jim Baker left his post for a similar position in Virginia.
Last week, the council conducted a first round of interviews that lasted more than six hours with five finalists. Council members werent able to make a final decision as planned, but narrowed the field to two finalists.
Costs rise for courthouse asbestos removal
The price of removing asbestos from the York County courthouse will cost an additional $122,000, after demolition crews discovered more building materials that will need to be removed.
The council Monday evening voted to approve the additional funds, which will go directly toward abatement efforts at the courthouse.
With the newly approved funds, the total cost of abatement for the courthouse exceeds $565,000, according to documents submitted to the council.
The new courthouse abatement costs include $76,000 to remove additional asbestos-containing material by NCM Demolition and Remediation, and $46,750 to extend the countys contract with ECS Carolinas, a firm that monitors the process with air testing and other services.
Air testing is necessary because asbestos fibers can stay suspended in the air for long periods of time and pose a health threat.
Abatement, which is a process to remove asbestos and other hazardous materials such as fungus and lead paint, began at the courthouse in late July and is the first step in a large renovation project for the building.
A large red trailer labeled asbestos sits in the parking lot adjacent to the courthouse.
According to a county notice, the demolition crew removed cabinets from the courthouses basement and discovered some wall material they hadnt tested before.
Removing just those materials alone will cost $36,000 but the county expects more materials to crop up.
Because work has just started on the building and is anticipated to last until December 2013, it is likely that more materials may be identified during the course of the project, the notice states.
The additional funds include a contingency allowance of $40,000 to cover any additional unforeseen materials.
Councilman Joe Cox criticized the fact that the materials went unnoticed and unaccounted for by the demolition crew when the contract was first devised in June.
That still gives me pause, Cox said. He expressed concern that the crews were finding new asbestos-containing materials this late into the project.
Council chairman Blackwell was dissatisfied by the news as well. Nothings gone right, he said of the courthouse renovation project.
Since abatement efforts started at the courthouse, a number of offices stationed there have been temporarily relocated across the county.

About | Classes
Since Gutenberg first perfected movable type in the 15th century, the basic tools and techniques of graphic arts and publishing evolved slowly over the centuries. In the 1980s, however, the introduction of postscript printers, teamed with personal computers and new art and layout software applications, revolutionized the industry. Today, publishing professionals are expected to combine skills in a variety of software applications with traditional design and publishing knowledge. This certificate is for illustrators, designers, art directors, editors, desktop publishers, and others responsible for producing layout and artwork ready to be distributed through a conventional printing process or electronically via the Web.
You'll learn:
You should be proficient with the Windows or Macintosh operating system. You are required to complete any prerequisites listed for certificate classes. (These classes will not count toward the required 48 hours.) Be sure to check the course descriptions for specific prerequisites.
Certificate Class Requirements
A minimum of 48 hours is required – 12 hours from each of three categories (Desktop Publishing, Image Editing, and Graphics) and 12 additional elective hours chosen from the course list.
Certificate Requirements
Complete the application form and return it with your $25 nonrefundable fee. All classes must be completed through the UMSL Computer Education & Training Center within two years of submitting the application. (Note: Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis; submitting the application and paying the fee doesn't guarantee a seat in any class.)
If you have completed one or more of these classes through the Computer Education & Training Center in the 24 months prior to completing your application, they may be applied to this certificate. You can list these classes on your application form. Granting approval for these classes depends on verification of satisfactory completion of each class.
Note: A class can be applied to only one specialized certificate.
Note: You do not have to be enrolled in the Certificate program to take these classes.
Note: You also receive CEUs for successful completion of each class. Students completing the Electronic Art and Publishing Chancellor's Certificate receive at least 4.8 CEUs. The hours completed in these classes will also be applied toward the 96-hour Chancellor's Certificate on the Computer. Other certificates are also available.
Desktop Publishing(12 hours required)

Beware of judges making laws
11:18am Tuesday 19th June 2012 in Editor Ian Murray's Blog
If the image of so many of our senior politicians cow-towing to Lord Justice Leveson when appearing at his enquiry into the state of the media fills you with a warm glow, it shouldn't .
When Labour leader Ed Miliband gushes that his party will follow slavishly any decisions the good judge comes to with regard to laws to enfeeble the press, you should be very wary.
When past prime ministers of whatever colour invite the good judge to impose laws on the media, you should both look for real motives and question who such pleading ultimately serves.
Heart warming as it may appear to see the great of the land in the world of politics, press and the police humbled before a smirking lead barrister and a kangaroo court, remember in this country it is you the people who have the power; not the press, not the police and no, not even the judges.
You may not, for good reason, have much time for the media – although a free press is your best defence against tyranny and corruption – and politicians as a breed may have tarnished their reputation. But take care to rub your hands with glee when your chosen representatives are dictated to by an unelected lawyer.
Reform the systems yes, but let Parliament decide what should be done.
Shame on those politicians who are willing to pander to the public gallery and promise to do the bidding of a judge when they should be saying they will listen to his advice but in the end they, your representatives, will decide what laws will be created in this country.

– Students in the Brock School of Business MBA program at Samford University had the opportunity to take an innovative course this summer, "Examining Current Topics in Strategy Implementation and Technology using Science Fiction." Professors Cynthia Frownfelter-Lohrke and Franz Lohrke developed and taught an MBA elective focusing on the difficulties managers can have when implementing strategic plans and making important business technology decisions.
Students read articles, wrote papers and made presentations about critical topics such as artificial intelligence, corporate culture, management succession and crisis management. To stimulate class discussion, the professors used
Star Trek: The Next Generation
(TNG) videos and a live Twitter feed (@trekstrategy) with students' and professors' tweets during class.
"Star Trek: TNG provides a great platform for discussing technology issues," said Cynthia Frownfelter- Lohrke, Professor of Management Information Systems at the Brock School. "Despite going off the air 17 years ago, the show was so futuristic that its themes remain current. For example, we were able to use several clips focusing on decision making by Commander Data, an android who serves as the Enterprise's second officer, to discuss artificial intelligence questions like "how and when do computers make better and sometimes worse decisions than humans?" We also talked about how businesses can protect themselves better from cyber attacks using the episode, "Contagion," where the Enterprise crew downloads a malicious virus from another ship's computer."
The live Twitter feed added an innovative technological twist to class discussions. Students commented that it revolutionized class participation and made it much easier to stay engaged during an evening course, even after working during the day. They were also interested in knowing in real time what other students thought about how the video cases related to the topic being discussed.
"The Organizational Leadership class was valuable because we were able to learn through the integration of contemporary management and strategy topics with science fiction. The episodes in Star Trek covered a number of managerial areas including environmental uncertainty, corporate culture and multi-generational management. The variety of issues presented through the Star Trek episodes facilitated great class room discussion," added MBA student Katie Voss.
"Using clips from popular movies and TV shows can be an effective teaching method to illustrate important business issues because professors can take a story students already know and overlay an important theory," said Franz Lohrke, Brock Family Chair in Entrepreneurship. "For example, professors have used "Willie Wonka" to illustrate human resource management issues and "Shark Tank" to examine venture capital decision making. We were able to use lessons from Star Trek to examine not only business technology issues, but also important factors that can keep managers from implementing strategic plans like having key managers leave the company."
To examine how companies handle CEO succession issues, for example, the professors used episodes where Captain Picard was kidnapped by an alien species called the Borg. The Enterprise crew was then forced to continue implementing their strategy and find innovative solutions during a crisis, despite the loss of their inspirational leader.
"This is a current topic from many companies," said Cynthia. "We had extensive discussions this summer about how both Apple and Google would face this issue very soon. This week, Apple's managers have to figure out how the company can continue to be successful now that its founder and iconic leader, Steve Jobs, has resigned as CEO."

About the Brock School of Business at Samford University:
The renaming of the Samford School of Business to the
Brock School of Business in December 2007 was a milestone achievement for business education at Samford, which has offered degrees in business and commerce since 1922. In 1965, the School of Business was established to offer both bachelor's and master's degrees in business. Alabama's first part-time master of business administration degree program was established at Samford, and the first MBA degrees were awarded in 1967. The master of accountancy degree was approved in 1995. The business school was fully accredited by AACSB International in 1999 and reaffirmed in 2010, a recognition earned by less than five percent of business schools worldwide. In 2010, USABE recognized the Brock School of Business for having the best new entrepreneurship program in the U.S.

Emphasising work-life balance and making it part of your company's culture also can improve employee satisfaction and retention. Try our suggestions on how to integrate work-life balance into your organisation.
In an environment where employees have had to help companies do more with less for some time now, many are in need of a healthier work-life balance.
Promoting alternative work arrangements and other ways to help staff achieve a better balance can lead to many positive results for your company – and not just in terms of keeping productivity high. It can enhance the overall health and well-being of your staff, thereby reducing both absenteeism and "presenteeism" (coming to work when ill). After all, who can work continuously under stress without eventually becoming physically run down?
Emphasising work-life balance and making it part of your company's culture also can improve retention. Consider the results of Robert Half's recent Workplace Redefined survey: "Having work-life balance" was the third most important work environment factor cited by all demographic groups surveyed – baby boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y.
Helping your employees strike the right balance between their professional obligations and personal life is easier, and less costly, than you might think.
Most importantly, remember to set the standard for your company. Show employees that you value your personal time, too, and you know when to step away from the laptop or put down your phone.


text: When you first play this you might think, 'What the Hell?', mainly because of the classical string intro kicking things off, but it does get heavier. Venom's first live album is pretty good, but it does have a few flaws. First, the songs themselves are classic Venom. They're loud, heavy, evil & just a little sloppy at times, but like with most of their stuff, it's the feeling of the songs that matter. This was the last official album with guitarist Mantas right before he left. He was gone for only one album, 1987's "Calm Before the Storm", but returned with a new Venom lineup for 89's "Prime Evil". Anyway, the songs here are good, but the fading in & out between most of them is a little annoying. By doing this it doesn't sound like a "true" live recording. I'm sure many good songs were edited out to make this two-record set (in it's original form, that is). Also, the guitar & bass solos, while loud & noisy, sound more like they were recorded in a studio, instead of an audience. Plus there's nothing from "At War With Satan" here, which is really too bad. But the good stuff is great. "Leave Me In Hell", "Nightmare", In Nomine Satanas", "Black Metal" "Buried Alive" & of course, "Witching Hour" (featuring some sloppy drumming from Abaddon). And there are TWO NEW SONGS: "The Chanting of the Priests" (recorded later on "Calm Before the Storm", but the live version here is WAY better) & "Love Amongst the Dead" (recorded later as "Dead Love", but not quite as good). So, while this is some good live Venom, try to find a copy of their first live video, "The 7th Date of Hell: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon", from around '84. It's a really wild live show and has a much rawer sound. But if you can't find it, this'll do ok too.

US Airways building sold to Florida estate trust
PHOENIX - The US Airways building has been sold.
According to Philly.com, REIT, a Florida-based real estate investment trust bought the property for $41.8 million. While US Airways still has control over 25 percent of the property, they have the option to opt out of the lease by the end of 2016.
""The terms of our lease remain unchanged and we've said previously that we will continue to maintain a significant corporate and operational presence in Phoenix after the merger closes even though the new American will be headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth," US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher said."

Mystery over star of next Alhambra theatre pantomime
Updated 9:59am Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News
Casting for the Alhambra's 2014/15 pantomime will not be revealed until spring, breaking a tradition of announcing Billy Pearce as the panto star a year ahead.
Billy is currently starring in Aladdin at the Alhambra, his 15th panto at the Bradford theatre.
Over recent years details of the following year's panto have been revealed in the current programme, alongside a picture of Billy in the lead role, and seats for the forthcoming panto could be booked in advance.
But although the programme for this year's production reveals that the 2014/15 panto will be Peter Pan, there is no mention of who will star and tickets don't go on sale until spring.
A spokesman from Bradford Theatres declined to comment on whether or not Billy Pearce would appear in the Alhambra's next panto.
A Bradford Theatres statement said: "West Yorkshire's biggest pantomime, Peter Pan, will go on sale this spring. Details about casting as well as further information on the production will be announced around the same time as the on-sale date."

DENVER (AP) - Democrats defeated a Republican proposal to allow voters decide whether to keep Colorado's new state logo, which has provoked strong feelings from opponents.
The logo created last year shows snow-capped green mountain with the letters "CO." It was an initiative driven by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper's office.
Republican Bob. Rankin wanted voters to decide in November whether the state should keep the logo, which has been described by opponents as looking like the carbon monoxide symbol.
A House committee controlled by Democrats rejected Rankin's proposal on a 6-5 vote.
The logo was unveiled last year for royalty-free use by businesses that want a Colorado logo on their products and in marketing. It's also being used by state agencies.

If you were going to rank the Texas Rangers' starting pitchers during the regular season, you'd probably go like this:
1. C.J. Wilson
2. Matt Harrison
3. Alex Ogando
4. Derek Holland
5. Colby Lewis
One thing that made the Rangers so good this season: Lewis was the worst of them, and he was actually pretty good.
With Ogando dispatched to the bullpen, here's how they've lined up during the postseason:
1. C.J. Wilson
2. Derek Holland
3. Colby Lewis
4. Matt Harrison
Well, that's changed, with Holland struggling in both of his ALCS starts. It's changed a lot. Here's the presumed World Series, according to the latest:
1. C.J. Wilson
2. Colby Lewis
3. Matt Harrison
4. Derek Holland
So Holland's obviously been demoted, to the point that he can't start twice, and will see action more than once only if the Rangers are desperate for an inning in Game 7.
I don't have a problem with any of this, as Harrison and Holland seem mostly interchangeable. The one thing that would worry me is Colby Lewis's propensity for giving up home runs, at least this season when he gave up 36 (and three more in a dozen postseason innings).

My daughter and her husband, along with number one grandson, had gone to Mississippi to visit her grandpa and to meet her uncle, his wife and daughter for a short visit during the Labor Day Holidays. I had been designated as the baby sitter for "Jack," the family pooch, and to be sure no one made off with their house while they were gone.
Everything went well Saturday and Sunday, but Monday provided a challenge and within about a 30 minute time frame I had three "senior moments."
Having awakened fairly early I decided that I would shower, shave and get ready for the day and head to "Cracker Barrel" for breakfast. All went well until I got outside and into my car. As I hit the starter I heard nothing but silence. Needless to say the thought quickly went through my head that here I was, 60 miles from home, a holiday, a possible dead battery and my family is gone until later tonight. I did have another vehicle, my son-in-law's, but I didn't know where the keys were for it. I also had jumper cables in the trunk of my car, so I thought I could get it jump started if all else failed, provided I could persuade one of their neighbors to give me a "jump."
I had been told that if you rock the car a little, sometime it will actually start. I felt I had nothing to lose so I tried it. Lo and behold when I hit the starter the engine cranked. My idea of having breakfast, returning to the house and taking "Jack" for a walk and then coming home were quickly changed to "I've got the car running and I'm not shutting it off until I get to the office." I grabbed my suitcase and hanging bag from the house, loaded them into the trunk and headed for Jasper.
About the time I got about a mile from the house I remembered I had forgotten to leave my daughter and her husband something I promised to leave. Turning around I headed back to take care of that task. I should have taken the item in when I first got there but I figured there was no hurry, I'd do it later.
Senior Moment 1. Once done I was on the road again. This time I made it as far as the stop sign at the top of the hill just up the street from where they live and remembered I had left my umbrella to dry on their back porch.
Senior Moment 2. Since it had begun raining I thought it a good idea to go back and get it. I retrieve the umbrella, get back in the car and head out once more.
Senior Moment 3 came about the time I was a couple of miles down the interstate. I remembered I had left a book I was reading on the table by the sofa chair. At that point the rain was coming down in a fairly steady stream, I was not interested in turning around and going back and I wasn't sure how long the car would keep running, so I decided I would get the book the next time I went to visit.
Everything went well the rest of the trip with the exception of having to drive through a monsoon about the time I got to the West Jefferson exit off the new corridor. But I knew we needed the rain badly and was not all that upset with the downpour.
I did have the car checked the next day and found out it was only a loose connection on the negative terminal of the battery. That news was certainly a relief since I thought I could be looking at purchasing a new battery, an alternator or a starter.
And that I knew, would not be very good on my wallet.

text: The first port was an island in the San Blas Islands. A very small island. Wind Star brought out all the toys and we played on the beach. Very relaxing. Small amount of shopping in a casual way. Local women selling their handcrafts. Next day we entered the Canal very early. Nice relaxing day with some excitement at the end as we barely passed under the last bridge before the pacific .a day at sea then a stop at a island in Panama called isla Del Coibe . Lovely hike with the Naturalist,Elliot . Saw monkeys and other wildlife. Beach barbecue and fun in the sun. Again all the "toys " were brought out. Stooped next at Golfito. We went ziplining and later on the rescue/orchid center trip. Ziplining was great. We saw tons of monkeys coming off the mountain after we finished . The second trip was rained on but we had fun anyway despite the cancellation of the orchid farm. If you can not sit in a small wooden boat with bench seats for long periods of time pass on this outing. My father in law did it but it was a bit much. Next stop was Bahia Drake. Very nice beach a shout hike away. We saw Toucans and Macaws when Elliot pointed them out. A trip in the morning to see whales and dolphins was pleasant but again a small boat which might not be comfortable for everyone. Only saw dolphins but a had great stop on a beach ,where we saw monkeys up close and other wildlife just a short hike(10 min) with the guides. Amazing! Loved the trip. Can't wait to go on Wind Star again. You can contact me for more info.

Overall facility was quaint, size was spacious. Neighborhood it was in was residential but quiet. Typical beach B&B.
The bath and parlor room smelled very strong of urine or foul smell. Told manager, who became offensive to us instead of finding a resolution. We requested another room which they did not have, or the option of a refund which was flatly refusedI fault the manager, as he handled the situation rather poorly. The odor was offensive, and we only asked that we be accomodated for the money spent. We simply did not get what we booked and paid for, a clean, odor free room. We travel alot, and use B&B's mostly. This experience was in my estimation the poorest experience I have had. As a guest I was made to feel chastised by the manager, and to find no reasonable resolution was not acceptable. I have contacted my credit card company and have requested a stop payment for lack of resolution. Please note, I have never before applied to c...

The Upham is like stepping back in time. We so enjoy coming here. It's close enough to do a healthy walk to downtown State Street places. The breakfast and afternoon wine is a plus. The common areas are great to just hang out and chill.
I wish that the towels were a little thicker. We found that your tub/shower temp was very touchy to regulate. The handles on the bathroom wash basin were loose. We reported this so hopefully it's fixed. Lastly, the towels could be more plush/thicker.Nice that there is an adjacent restaurant (Louie). We had a great meal there.

I promised my wife an in-room massage for her birthday in our Santa Barbara trip. I called and asked how large were the rooms and who they would recommend. I was given the name of the person who ' does this all the time.' When we arrived, we had to cancel the massage because the room was a bit larger than a closet with no room for a massage table. I contacted the front desk and they could not identify anyone who would have given me that information. The jacuzzi, if you can call it that, (room for 2.5 people) did not open until 9am (really?)

Crysis 3 Review
Review By GunSlingerAUS @ 04:19pm 26/02/13
Sequels are supposed to be bigger, better and flashier than the origin game in a series. So when Crysis 2 ended up smaller, worse and less bombastic than the first, it made PC gamers activate their Maximum Rage ability across the 'Net's forums.
I was one of the many upset whingers demanding an explanation, but after recently meeting with one of the producers I could finally understand where it all went so wrong. Crysis 2 was Crytek's first console game, and the company struggled with squeezing the delights of the PC masterpiece into a shoebox powered by calculator components. They trimmed back the level sizes and graphical detail so as not to cause the consoles to self combust, and even made the AI simpler so console kids wouldn't get upset when they got smashed. There's no excuse for the horrific matchmaking of the online game, but basically I can see how they managed to mishandle the sequel to such an iconic PC release.
Crysis 3 has one goal lined up through the sites of its hyper-tension, carbon fibre, bow – to recapture the glory of the first Crysis. I can't say whether or not they've done that on the consoles, as I cleverly reviewed the PC version of the game, ensuring I saw the definitive version of Crytek's latest and greatest. Sure, it came at the cost of a small blackout in my neighbourhood, caused when my gaming PC went critical during the opening scenes of this performance hog of a game, but it was worth it, because in most ways Crysis 3 surpasses the original. Unfortunately where it slightly goes wrong is that it's a little too faithful to the original, forgetting some of the lessons learnt within the FPS genre since then.
Providing a satisfying conclusion to the storyline of the first two games, I've got to hand it to the storytelling in the third; for once it's actually understandable. There are some decent twists and turns on the way, and for such a high-paced roller coaster ride it's remarkably cohesive. As expected it doesn't cover anything deeper than saving the earth from a rectum-shaped alien the size of a small moon, but if I wanted a spiritual experience I'd go play Journey. No, this game is all about blowing assorted shit up with an assorted range of weaponry through assorted environments, and in that regard it does a nifty job.
Actually, for the first half of the game you'll probably choose to avoid the baddies, as the stealth is so rewarding, not to mention easier. You'll play out each level exactly the same way. First, you'll follow your AI mate for a minute, hearing him blather on about his alien-killing girlfriend. He'll then conveniently nick off to see a man about a dog, leaving you alone to scout the open environment ahead. By open I mean Max Payne 3 kind of open, not Battlefield 3. Your cyberbollocks binoculars allow you to see through the environment, tagging baddies and seeing which alert state they're in; chilling on a bowl, getting paranoid on meth, or going totally PCP crazy. Once you've tagged 'em all, you'll use your lengthy stealth ability to sneak through, occasionally snapping some unlucky sucker's neck like a popsicle, and trying to hit all the side objectives and weapon caches without dying. I played on SuperSoldier, one level down from Impossible, and found stealth was pretty easy for the first half of the game.
About half way through though, Crysis 3 catches on to your sneaky cheaty self, and starts throwing baddies and situations at you that stop you from relying upon your invisi-crutch. It's here that the action goes from level 11 to absolutely blistering nuts, with a non-stop cavalcade of explosions and blood and rockets and helicopter gunship levels and smashing kittens against walls. It's breathtaking and unrelenting, and that's what's wrong with it. Crytek forgot about golden rule #8 of FPS design: "For every 10 minutes of killing, the most enlightening virtual experiences doth require three minutes of mood-developing exploration". Instead Crytek chucks in a minute or two of down time before another half hour of steroidal rage.
Maybe it's because they felt the first half of the game was so heavily focused on stealth that there was no need to include these moments of reflection in the second act, but boy I wish they had. I love me a good, Bay-splosion filled firefight, but when it drags on for several hours it becomes almost numbing in its one-toned theme of violence.
It's a small flaw that doesn't ruin the game in the slightest, but it does stop Crysis 3 from achieving the same giddy heights of a Half-Life 2 or Dishonored. It's a shame, as when it comes to the visual presentation of the game, Crysis 3 is in a very exclusive club with just one other member, Battlefield 3. Screw the future generation of consoles, graphics of that level are already available here. Sure, it requires a WOPR-sized mainframe to run it on max detail, but my i7 3770 (oc'd to 4.5GHz) with dual GTX 670s ran it at close to 60fps for the majority of the campaign. And that was on max detail, which is an absolute sight to behold. Set in a version of New York City that is slowly being taken over by the jungle, the mixture of organic and man-made objects in the scenery shows that this engine can handle either style of graphics with ease. Close-ups on the faces of allies shows individual wrinkles and hair follicles, while firefights explode forth with a dizzying array of particle and smoke effects. It doesn't beat Battlefield 3 in the visual steaks, as it focuses on different strengths, but I'd say it's at least equal to Frostbite 2.0's finest hour.
Most players will come to Crysis 3 for the 10-hour single-player game, especially considering the last game's multiplayer was so crappy. Which makes the fact that Crysis 3's multiplayer is really rather good such a nice surprise. Playing out kind of like Unreal Tournament, but with a mixture of machine guns and alien weapons, there's a huge range of maps and customisation to keep you playing for ages. Best of all, it's actually fun, and proves a refreshing change from the mil-sim shooters so heavily favoured by the genre. If there's one complaint it's that its savagely difficult for beginners, as veterans have access to some game-changing abilities, but stick with it and you'll soon start to get payback on the vets.
Crysis 3 comes so close to greatness that it's a tragedy that it didn't make it. If the next game focuses a little more on mood-setting moments where the player – gasp – has no way to kill anything at all, then it'll be the perfect sci-fi shooter. As it stands now, Crysis 3 is a very good game, with a refreshingly different style and setting that sets it apart from so many me-too military shooters.

Dear Memory-Keeper,
If you're struggling to create beautiful, meaningful scrapbooking pages quickly and easily, I can help!
But first… Can you tell me if any of these apply to you?
If so, you're really going to get a lot from what I have to share with you!
After 10 years of scrapbooking, thousands of pages created, and hours spent interviewing the best and brightest scrapbookers in the industry…
I know, you've read all the magazines, you've taken classes, you've taken pictures… but you haven't ever before seen dozens of fast scrapbooking tips consolidated in one place!
Here's exactly what I've discovered:
- You CAN create lovely, eye-catching pages in minutes
-You don't have to sacrifice style for speed
-It's possible to fit scrapbooking into your life, no matter how busy you are
-You can organize yourself for scrapbooking success
-You can use the same layout designs over and over again and no one will know that they're not all unique!
It sounds crazy that I can help you with ALL these challenges…. but I really can! In fact…
Now you can see, this really does work…
In the ten years I've been a scrapbooker, I've created literally HUNDREDS of layouts. Some I spent hours on. Some I spent less than 30 minutes. And I've discovered that the pages I love best are NOT the ones I spend days and days on. I've determined that the scrapbook layouts that mean the most from me are the ones that are really "me –" with the products, stories, and photos I love the most.
Imitating fancy pages from the magazines doesn't work. You know that. I know that! That's why you're here.
But there IS an answer… it's just not what people think. Here's what I mean:
Instead, you already have the tools you need to tell your stories; you just need someone to show you how to use them effectively.
You need someone to take you by the hand, and help you wade through the piles of inspiration and brads and buttons and photos..
All you have to do is get your photos OUT of your camera and ONTO your page.
Sounds easy, right? Maybe even TOO easy… but it's true. I've put together a variety of tips, ideas, and scrapbook page designs that will help you quickly and easily learn to use the products and photos you already have to document the stories you are longing to tell – FAST.
I created the Super-Secret Guide to Faster Scrapbooking program when I saw how many people were struggling with their scrapbooking. Many women were even considering giving up their hobby altogether because they just couldn't find the time to scrapbook! I decided I had to do something to help them. And judging by all the feedback I've already gotten, I'm certain that I can help you, too!
This program is created to help you create pages you love in less time.
You'll discover:
You could pay $200 or more to attend a one-day scrapbook conference covering the same information. And I have hundreds of people who regularly pay almost twice what I'm asking for this package to participate in my month-long challenges.
But I'm not asking $200, or even $100, or even $50.
You might be wondering, "What's the catch?"
No catch! I want you to rediscover the joy of scrapbooking, and I know that the Super-Secret Guide for Faster Scrapbooking package will help. So I'm setting this at a price to make it accessible for everyone.
But… I have to tell you this is an introductory price… and it WILL be increasing shortly.
One more thing you should know:
I know you work hard for your money. I know you may not really "know" me, or know the kind of value I consistently offer my readers and customers. But I want to make this as easy as possible for your to make a decision, so I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
If for any reason you're not satisfied with the Super-Secret Guide for Faster Scrapbooking package, all you have to do is let me know within 60 days of your purchase, and I'll refund 100 percent of your money – no questions asked. No hassles, no delay.
Sound good?
Before you answer, remember:
So, ready to order?
I've tried to make this an absolute no-brainer for you.
As soon as you sign up, you'll get instant access to everything I mentioned – the eBook, the audios, the scrapbook layouts, the resource pages, and the scrapbook sketches.

Here's to YOUR memories,
Lain Ehmann

Good links.
I'm on the fence about e-mail capability. But I'm looking forward to seeing more about Apple.

Wow, that article on e-book pricing has me spinning. This debate is far from over and I personally feel like I am missing important information to help me formulate an opinion. I'm an Econ major- I need a CBA to help me make my decision. Anyway, I am by nature a tactile person and will always enjoy a printed book over an electronic version. I don't think that printed materials are going to completely fall away. However, there are inherent advantages to electronic copies. They can be distributed quickly and cheaply, they are nicer to trees, and easier to store. My bulging book shelves can attest to the last item. Hopefully we can find a happy medium that satisfies the obvious market for e-books and the people who create them.

To the OP...isn't the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 the one that can be configured via a computer without having to send the lens to Sigma? I thought it had the ability to adjust front / back focusing issues until you get it correct.
Kind regards,
At some future point, you can pay $$$ for a tool that will let you adjust focus accuracy of the lens so that it may match what you already paid for. Sigma has promised it, but hasn't delivered it.
About two weeks for $59 with software. Not too shabby.
Congratulations KKC. I know you're going to love that lens.

DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) -- When Jose Bautista hit 54 home runs in 2010, more than tripling his career high, it was easy to dismiss his breakout season as a bit of a fluke.
Another year and 43 homers later, the Toronto right fielder has established himself as one of the game's top sluggers.
Four years after he was traded to Toronto for a backup catcher, Bautista will try for his third consecutive home run title this season. His rise to stardom is exactly the type of unexpected boost the Blue Jays need if they're going to compete with the New York Yankees, Boston and Tampa Bay in the American League East.

Dozens of Lubbock Democrats gathered Monday to watch the second inauguration of President Barack Obama at River Smith's restaurant.
The meeting room was decorated with signs that read "Lubbock Supports Obama 2012" complete with life-sized cutouts of the President and the First Lady.
Eyes were glued to the television screens as they anxiously awaited the President to make his appearance and take the oath of office for his second term.
Kenny Ketner, Lubbock County Democratic Party Chair, said today is historical in more ways than one.
"Today is also Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. And it's very poetic, I think, for President Obama to be sworn in for a second time on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so there will be some important historical echoes there," Ketner said.
Ketner said he believes a memorable inauguration speech has to have a vision for the future and resonate with what the American people want.
"I think President Obama is perfectly poised to deliver that today," he said.
Grace Rogers is the Vice President of Texas Democratic Women of the South Plains. She said she was happy that President Obama got re-elected and is excited to see what these next four years will hold.
"It's not been the easiest presidency. We've had all the financial issues, we've had the crisis that was happening when he took office, both of the wars that we were still heavily involved in," said Rogers.
She said she is ready to keep working and build toward these next few years.

text: Memphis Apartments Blend In with Single-FamilyA veteran builder is offering a single-family lifestyle even for those who can't secure a mortgage.By John Caulfield Photos: Grant Properties Peas In a Pod: Triplexes at Westbrook Crossing, which is under construction near Memphis, will each have their own accessible garages. Below is an illustration of what the 227-apartment community might look like when it's finished in 20 months.Photos: The Renaissance GroupMilton Grant has been building homes since he was 19. He put up his first apartment complex in 1974, when he was 24. And over the years, Grant has recognized that one amenity most renters want—but often can't get—is some place to park their cars.Grant, who co-owns Grant Properties LLC in Collierville, Tenn., also builds between five and 10 single-family homes a year. So it's not surprising that of the 1,000 apartments he's built, 888 of them are "all-garage" units, meaning that each apartment comes with its own attached garage.He's currently working on a 227-unit apartment complex called Westbrook Crossing in Collierville, near Memphis. What will distinguish these apartments from those at his other all-garage communities—The Wyndham, with more than 330 apartments; and Cayman Grove, with 552 units—is that Westbrook's triplexes will all be one-floor, "so that no one is living above you," says Grant, who has found over the years that it's easier and more commodious to soundproof walls than ceilings and floors. The apartments will range from 755 to 1,110 square feet.The attached garages, which vary in size depending on their location within the triplex, are designed so that they are accessible from the apartment's kitchen. That design is a challenge, he explains, because "you practically need streets all the way around" so each garage has access to them.The whole community, which will have 75 triplex buildings when it's completed in 20 months, is being made to blend in with other single-family homes in neighborhoods near the FedEx World Technology Center. "This is pretty much Milton's idea from the start," says Barry Almon, an architect with The Renaissance Group, the architectural firm that did the drawings for these triplexes.Magna Bank is funding Westbrook Crossing with an $18.5 million construction loan, according to The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.Grant is of the opinion that the greatest competitive threat to his apartments isn't other apartments but single-family homes. His own independent research informs him that, nationwide, as much as 80% of all leased housing is single family.If he's right, that percentage is significantly higher than the National Multi Housing Council's estimates that renter-occupied households account for about one-third of total U.S. households, and single-family homes make up 34% of renter-occupied households. A recent analysis of Fannie Mae's National Housing Survey by Irvine, Calif.–based John Burns Real Estate Consulting concludes that single-family renters accounted for around 12% of total households in 2010.Regardless, Grant observes that most renters want the safety and amenities that a single-family dwelling offers. He also notes, though, that until recently, "this has been the worst apartment market since 2003," because it was so easy for people to get mortgages. As banks have toughened their lending practices, he's seeing more customers for his complexes and a bit more rental construction.He expects the first renters to start moving into Westbrook Crossing by next spring. His next project will be a mini-storage facility, his second. (He built his first one in 1982, and recently sold it.). "The only reason I'm in business today is because I build income-generating properties," he says.Grant expects the apartments at Westbrook Crossing to fetch rents of between $900 and $1,200 per month.John Caulfield is senior editor for Builder magazine.Learn more about markets featured in this article: Memphis, TN.

It's been interesting to watch the speed with which the Congress responded when the members heard the U.S. Olympic team's clothes, though designed here, were made in China.
It's this week's Uncut commentary.
Oh, I'm not happy about the Ralph Lauren-designed uniforms being cut together in foreign textile factories. The team is representing America, American workers should have stitched them together -- a no-brainer.
However, in no time, members of Congress from both parties, whose battles over the budget have sent us to the brink on more than one occasion, were on the air, complaining, firing off letters, threatening to call hearings... As if they've been busy doing America's business.
One complained about the 600,000 vacant manufacturing jobs in the country, another wants to the uniforms piled up and burned.
It sure would be nice if they paid as much attention to the budget.
The truth is, it's not just the politicians who sent those uniforms and jobs elsewhere, so did the rest of us.
Check the labels on your own shirts and blouse, dresses and pants, your shoes and socks. You'll not often find "Made in America." Most of us never looked to check on it, myself included.
And with the vanishing of those labels, came the disappearance of those 600,000-plus jobs… However, we did manage to save money on our clothing bills, ignoring the real cost.
Our "leaders" in Washington are quick to cast the first stone, and there's no telling what's on the underside of the rocks they're picking up.
If they're like everything else, you'll probably find the words "Made in China."
Those are my thoughts, tell me yours at email@example.com.

Ok thank you all for your response. Does anyone have any specific models or where to start looking?
Also i should have mentioned this earlier but portability is a must. I will be using them traveling overseas most of the time.
If you need light weight AND durability(relative) then LED panels or fixtures are what you need. I would start by looking at the vendors mentioned in American Cinematographer magazine and on various video blogs. As this forum is largely concerned with still imaging, continuos lighting info is scarce from experienced people. Also relevant is how large a space do you need to light?

In this sentence, adult "grasp" means adult understanding of the issues. Grasp usually means to hold and hang on to something, so it's used here metaphorically to suggest that the mind or intellect is able to hold onto (understand) an idea.
I hope that helps!
