Getting 7 kills with one RPG while defending an MCOM in rush on Operation Metro. Oh how I laughed :cool:
my epic moment was on rush playing on operation firestorm playin rush
we were defending and a load of snipers climbed up onto the crane on the right hand side left for attackers.
they kept killing me and i could not work out where from.
when i worked it out i climbed upto the top of the crane and found 6 snipers,
my knife had fun that game
I like the melee much better than BC2, but its just as unreliable in some parts...I snuck up right behind someone, pressed the button, but it missed so had to do it again.
Just as bad for PC!
Number of times the animation doesn't hit and you swipe with a knife that seemingly does nothing and results in you getting shot.
the worst i have done is when you see the knife hit them and you hear it but the turn round and pop some lead in my A*S
Right, once you have unlocked heat seaking missiles, you are pretty much dominant in the air...just takes a while to get the jet there! Choppers aren't so bad as I have done that already, but the jet is a nightmare! :(
My KD went down from 0.99 to like 0.7 in my attempts to get the heatseakers for the jets and choppers, now I have them, I am racking up the points once again (1 round got 6000 points just in vehicle disables, vehicle destructions and kill assists, but not getting the kills sadly, but its getting there!)
Double headshot sniping from 150m+, the two guys ran past eachother as i fired :)
Think I m on about 40% accuracy with SVD, I m sniping for fun!
I had 6 kills with the jets but it didn't give me the ribbon, so will try again later :)
be warned, flying and locking on is not as easy as it looks...sometimes the machine gun is the way to go...If I got the lock I fire the missiles then instantly switch to machine gun and get use that to hit the other jets/choppers as well...though I found a lot of people bail out, which is not funny.

I am the mother of 5 (one daughter, 4 sons) and have homeschooled the younger 3 for the past 14 years. I am now working in a local high school as a special ed. aide and am now divorced. Because I have been so involved in 4H, boy scouts, church and other activities, it is hard to figure out how I managed to get so fat! And so now I want to take some time for me and lose weight. I enjoy crafts, walking, volunteering, reading, gardening, church, music and, of course, children (especailly my own!).
I have been happily married for 21 years and have 2 wonderful children. I home school my son (though this is probably the last year) and my daughter is a sophomore in high school. I also have 2 lovable pups. I love spending time with my family. I also work part time as a social worker. I have a very active, busy life. I am a Christian and trying to rely more on God to help me be successful in being healthy.
I have been a Christian since I was a child. I have been married 47 years and have two grown children. My husband and I are both retired.
I'm 52 years old stay at home mom. I have 4 children with 2 of them (girls) still living with me and my wonderful husband. My husband is retired after 26 years in the US Air Force. Civilian life take much to get used to ...have been doing it for 4 years. now.

We have a deep love for Fresh's Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment here in the Birchbox office. The formula gives our often dry lips such a nice boost of lasting hydration. When the Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment landed on the editors' desks today, we couldn't resist sharing the sheer, berry-colored balm with the office. As news quickly spread (as it tends to do), we happily discovered that the color looks gorgeous on everyone who put it on—regardless of their skin tone. Here's what three Birchboxers had to say:
I'm a big fan of bare lips, and not for the reason you might think. While some girls eschew bold lip colors as a general rule, I tend to avoid them because they interfere with my ability to drink mugs of coffee (hello, lipstick rings). That's not to say I wear absolutely nothing on my lips. To keep my lips soft, I rely on every beauty addict's first love: lip balm. My new fave? Fusion Beauty's Lip Fusion Balm. This clear conditioning balm first attracted me with its sleek appearance. It comes in a shiny silver tube and looks like a lipstick minus the pigment, which makes it great for color-phobes like yours truly. Learn more about this balm's multitasking powers after the jump!
This week's guest blogger, the lovely Alissa Kelly, offers up fun fashion and beauty advice on her blog, Feeling Good. (Our favorite feature? Kelly's fun nail posts!) We love her optimistic attitude and useful tips. Today, she's showing us the must-have items that she can't leave home without.
There are just some things women cannot live without. I'm a purse fanatic so I'm always switching my bag to match the day's outfit. Every time I do, there are 5 items that always make the switch with me.
We fell hard for Natalie Alcala last fall, when the LA-based writer and blogger spent a week guest blogging for us. In fact, we loved her posts so much that we asked her to be a contributing editor. In addition to blogging for us once a week, she'll also be writing for the Birchbox Magazine and keeping us up to speed on all things fashion, beauty, and fun.

Since Birchbox is always on the cutting edge of beauty, I thought it would be fun (and funny) to switch it up and go back, way back, to salute some of the beauty products that we're all guilty of experimenting with during the Saved by the Bell era.
I may be dating myself here, but these products were absolutely essential to my tween and teen days in the '90s. Here are my personal (yes, cringe-worthy) memories with each; drop me a line in the comments if you have a story, too!
Herbal Essences in Rose Hips: Ah…I can still smell the magical fragrance of this conditioner and shampoo. I remember when Herbal Essences were all the rage and that "Yes! Yes! Yes!" commercial would play before TGIF on ABC (talk about a throwback). I was so sad to learn that this scent was discontinued a few years later—and it looks like I'm not alone, because the product is going for a pretty penny on eBay right now.
Bonne Bell Lip Smackers: Okay, who doesn't remember these? The watermelon, raspberry, and Dr. Pepper-flavored Lip Smackers were my absolute jam. I remember slathering this on when I was around my crush in school, convinced that the scent of my soda-flavored lips would surely reel him in. As if!

I apply lip balm at least ten times a day. My desk is filled with enough balms to last me until retirement, and I feel naked without at least one coat on my lips. I don't care whether it's tinted or clear, flavored or tasteless: if it comes in a tube or jar, I'm happy to smear it on my lips. But lately I learned that much like chocolate or reality TV, lip balm can be downright addictive. In fact, there's a whole website devoted to the dangers of lip balm abuse along with a new book called Can You Get Hooked On Lip Balm?. After reading up on the warnings, I'm now trying to wean myself off the balm. Click through to learn why you should limit your lip balm use!

We love writers with fun personalities, which is why we're ecstatic to welcome Carlye Wisel into the guest blogging fold this week. The savvy blogger has a multitude of interests, but can regularly be found talking about music and more on Vevo, Big Ugly Yellow Couch, and her personal Tumblr, Awkward City Population 1. This week, she's sharing beauty wit and wisdom. Today: the products you should have in your arsenal for those hot summer days.
No matter how many countless street style photos seem to prove otherwise, it takes some effort to not look like a sweaty disaster at a summer festival.
These music-loving ladies have seen the dust of Bonnaroo, the mud of Lollapalooza, and everything in between, all while getting a day's work done under the hot, hot sun. Here are some of the tried-and-true products that they rely on to get them by:
"Makeup Forever HD Powder keeps foundation and concealer in place for hours. I usually use it in place of foundation or powder since it evens out my skin tone with a nice matte finish, meaning no more sweaty forehead." —Nicole Wasilewicz, Senior Music Editor at Free Williamsburg
"I use deodorant like it's my job. My go-to is Speedstick. Yes, only a man's will work under the hot Coachella sun! I also love my Fresh Lip Balm, which goes on so smooth and smells like brown sugar. My lips get so chapped from the beer, the heat, and all the singing along." —Julia Willinger, Label Coordinator at XL Recordings
"Maybelline's Great Lash mascara is cheap, easy to stick in your bag, and always adds a brightened-up look. It also never runs." —Jenna LoMonaco, Head of New Media at Glassnote Records
"TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo is amazing. If I don't have that, I will use any type of hair spray, apply it to my roots, let it dry, and then brush it out. This really helps keep my hair looking fresh, even through sweaty, disgusting weather." —Rachel Stoewer, College Marketing Coordinator at Sony Music
"All of tarte's products are natural, but their Natural Cheek Stain is my favorite. It's blush that gives you a fresh pinched-cheeks look and it doesn't melt in the hot sun during music festivals. For my skin, stila's One Step Bronze is my go-to summer bronzing foundation. And I adore Revlon's Grow Luscious waterproof mascara because, duh, you might see Bon Iver, and do you really want anyone to know that you cried tears of joy?" —Lindsay Brandt, Manager & Digital Media Director at Mick Management
Our never-leave-home-without product in the summer? Tatcha Aburatorigami Blotting Papers.

As a freelance writer, my beauty regime is often minimized to whatever I can slather on my face before running out the door. (Glamorous, right?) Having a clear complexion makes it easier to put on my face in the mere seconds I have before being late, and I've come to rely on a small set of products to make it possible. Before hitting the sack each night, I apply philosophy's Hope In A Jar. I'm still new to the brand, but this thick, silky cream, which was suggested to me by the lady behind Cult of Pretty, does moisturizing wonders. My skin is pretty sensitive, so if I wash my face before (heavy on the "if," since I typically just use water), I'll only use Dove's Beauty Bar, which is old school, but great for my skin.
I can't believe I'm divulging this Wisel family secret, but Rezamid is a pimple cure-all that does miracles and the tube lasts for years. This ointment has saved me from being zit-tastic a thousand times over since I was a teen, and its customizable tint makes it more of a concealer than a treatment. Though I'm the zillionth person to swear by this, smashbox's Photo Finish Primer is the only primer that hasn't left me looking like a sweaty disaster 45 minutes into a hot afternoon. And, since I hate when makeup wears off, I never wear goopy lip glosses, but prefer to use Kiehls' Scented Lip Balm to prevent lips from chapping.
Our favorite way to get flawless skin? smashbox's Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation.

After two and a half years of working for the Lipstick Queen herself, Poppy King, I'd like to think I know a thing or two about lips and what keeps them moisturized and happy. I always like to have an arsenal of lip products at the ready. A lot of guys ask me what they should go for when upgrading from a basic Chapstick or Burt's Bees. Below are a few of my faves. All are super moisturizing and totally guy friendly – no bubble gum scents or super shiny textures.
Pangea Oragnics Lip Balm: Egyptian Fennel Grapefruit & Sweet Orange If you like a solid lip balm that comes in a tube, this is a great one. It's all natural, so no need to worry about chemicals, and it really perks your lips up. I love citrus fragrances – always clean and fresh, but still masculine.
Kiehl's Scented Lip Balm #1- Mango: This balm is slippery and silky and feels great going on. The moisturizing effects of this formula are so long lasting that I rarely have to reapply. The mango scent is sweet, but not overbearing, and the balm has a mild SPF 4.
Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm: This gel has a bit of a creamier texture, which is really nice. It uses Fatty Acid Hydration Technology to keep lips feeling smooth and moisturized. Mojito is a very unique scent, but it's subtle and also very fun! I am a big fan of anything from the guys at Malin + Goetz, so this lip balm is a fun splurge.
Why stop at lip balm? Pick up more guy friendly products in our Birchbox Shop.

Sexism, the wage gap, and the "baby excuse"

Not so subtle discrimination in the startup community.
By Shannon Smith | Published: June 4, 2011
On June 3rd a new startup accelerator, FounderFuel launched. The group, located in Montreal, Canada, but funding startups internationally launched with 85 members, but not one woman. "At FounderFuel we believe startup success is more about the people than the idea. We take a lot of care in choosing the smartest and most resourceful, dedicated and passionate people we can find." It seems that those are men. Even men involved in the startup scene noticed. David Crow, cofounder of Influitive Corporation, posted on Startup North that he was disappointed that so few women were participating at FounderFuel and and GrowLab, a Vancouver startup accelerator with a single female team member.

You know the saying, "Words without actions mean nothing?".
Obviously, neither the Warriors nor the Nuggets have heard of it.
The trash-talking and criticism between both sides has been flying high since Game 5, a highly physical game that had both teams upset.
Now, even broadcasters are getting into the act.
According to CSN Bay Area, Nuggets' radio commentator Scott Hastings called Warriors' head coach Mark Jackson "classless" for his comments regarding Stephen Curry.
Jackson complained that the Nuggets were sending"hitmen" to target Curry and injure him during Game 5.
The Warriors' coach had a chance to respond on The Dan Patrick Show:
You [Patrick], as my guy, there is no way in the world you can sit there and listen to Scott Hastings, of all people, call me 'classless.' Now he can disagree with my statement, he can disagree with my coaching, he can disagree with my announcing, my playing, all of that, but to say it was 'classless,' I think it was unfair of him.
Jackson also lashed out at Nuggets' head coach George Karl, who called Festus Ezeli " an elbow and asshole guy."
"Disrepectful. George will be a Hall-of-Fame coach. He's a heck of a coach. He's had tremendous success. He's done a great job this year. He has a very good basketball team," Jackson told CSN Bay Area. "That statement is disrespectful. I have a lot of respect for George Karl and the job that he's done and who he is. That statement was disrespectful. I wonder what he thinks of his players. The Kenyon Martins, the Kenneth Farieds, JaVale McGee, (Kosta) Koufos. I wonder what he thinks of those guys if they just go out and do their job."
I'm sure there have been other comments between the two teams that weren't exactly respectful. Bottom line, this series is turning nastier as we speak, and Game 6 should be a good one tonight.

text: ShareHow to Improve Your LinkedIn ProfileApr 12 2012, 01:29 PM by Yo NoguchiDespite not getting the attention some loyal fans feel it rightfully deserves, LinkedIn is quietly rolling along as one of best online marketing platforms for professionals. The site recently surpassed the impressive milestone of 150 million users, which is another sign that it is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the social arena. Is your LinkedIn profile the best it could be? If you're like many busy professionals out there, it could probably use a tune-up. Here are some simple things you can do to tighten up your LinkedIn profile: Use Your Best Photos One of the easiest things you can do to improve your LinkedIn profile is put up a good picture. What? You say you already have a photo? That's cool, but is it a good one? Hopefully so, because the photo you choose can hurt you just as much as it helps you. For example, that picture of the slimmer, trimmer you of 10 years ago may represent you looking your best, but what happens when you land that job interview or secure that face-to-face meeting with a potential client? Maybe it's no big deal at all - or maybe it makes you come off as a deceptive individual who can't be trusted. Be Honest It is common for people to pretend to be someone else online. The anonymity aspect of the internet makes it far too easy. Despite how common it may be, this is something you want to avoid when it comes to your LinkedIn profile. This goes for little white lies as well. So you don't really have a Bachelor's Degree in marketing? This is the internet. No one will find out. Maybe you're right, or maybe you'll have to own up and verify your claims. You can pad your LinkedIn profile with all sorts of accolades, but what happens when you can't produce? Take Advantages of Apps The LinkedIn profile has more than enough sections to play with, but there are also quite a few extra perks you incorporate for added value. For example, by using some of the available apps, you can give your profile functionality that ranges from slideshow presentations to WordPress integration. The LinkedIn platform certainly benefits developers, but you don't need programming skills to benefit from these extras. Whether it is showcasing your work with Portfolio Display or sharing documents with Box.net Files, all apps can be added in a single click. Complete It The LinkedIn profile is pretty extensive and new sections seem to be added on a regular basis. With that said, you want to make sure you get as close to 100% complete as you possibly can. The more complete it is, the better you look to the potential employers, clients or partners you want to connect with on LinkedIn. In the process of completing your profile, keep in mind that while you want to use keywords to enhance search value, you don't want to go overboard by using too many. Aside from staying on Google's good side, keeping your SEO touches light will make your profile look more appealing to human visitors, which is who you are trying to attract. As a professional navigating the social media space, the profile is one of the most powerful weapons in your arsenal. This, along with your content is what will attract outsiders and encourage them to connect. LinkedIn may not necessarily have the social appeal of Facebook or Twitter, but it can be just as and even more valuable on the networking side when used correctly. Creating a killer profile is half the battle.Posted in Tips & Resources, Social MediaRelated BlogsHow to Build a New Media Content Framework for Your Small Business4 Epic Social Media Strategies for Financial WebsitesComparz Offers User-Based B2B Online Marketing ReviewsAn Insider Scoop on Making Monster's BeKnown Work for YouTwitter Predicted to Be Bigger than Facebook in 2012CommentsAlexander VereshchakJun 19 2013, 08:21 AMDear Yo Noguchi Thank you for the article!

Recs for dinner Ct Ave & Military Road??
- c
- cabbagehead Feb 15, 2011 03:51 AM
Visiting DC this weekend and need recs for dinner on or near Connecticut Ave in the vicinity (a mile or so) of intersection with Military Road. Any style, but prefer Greek, Italian, Thai, Mediterranean.
Out-of-towners seem to like Maggiano's Little Italy for Italian fare. Big portions. Good taste. Great (read: strong) cocktails. Perfect idea for large groups and celebrations, but still "dark" enough to be romantic (well, sorta...it can be a bit noisy at dinner time.).
Just minutes from Military Road.
Maggiano's - Chevy Chase
5333 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20015
I work in that area and I think Arucola, a few blocks up the street is good if you're looking for someplace within walking distance. Their pastas and breads are made in house as are their desserts. I was there the other night and had a very nice fettucini with a light sauce and a veal chop. If you want to go further afield, I would suggest going in the opposite direction a few miles down on Connecticut to either Sorriso, Palena or Dino's, all practically next to each other. My favorite is Palena, followed by Sorriso, then Dino. Check out their websites.
3529 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
Sorriso Restaurant
3518 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
Just near that intersection (are you walking? Why so specific?) is Buck's Camping and Fishing. Mixed reviews. It was infamous when Carole Greenwood, who fashioned herself a food goddess (do not DARE ask for a minor change in a dish; her perfection is not to be tampered with and she will come out the kitchen to scream at you in person) was cooking there. After she left, people seemed to think the food actually went up a notch, but more recently some say it has dropped down in quality a bit. Prices - especially on the steak - are high.
I don't care for Maggiano's; I think it's very "chainy" and geared for tourists.
Palena is one of the best restaurants in the city. They have a back dining room for fine dining and a cafe in the front, which is much cheaper but doesn't take reservations. Since you mentioned Italian, Dino might be the best choice for you. It's a neighborhood place where I have had several meals that I've been very happy with. It also has one of the best wine lists in the city and some good deals, which are explained on their website.
Note that both Dino and Palena are just two Metro stops south of Friendship Heights, where you will be. Very easy to get there. Both are very close to the Cleveland Park station, so little walking is involved. See www.wmata.com for Metro maps and info.
For Mediterranean, I'd recommend Zaytinia, which is further afield, but still close to the red line Metro (Gallery Place station) and easy to get to.
I have trouble making recommendations for the Friendship Heights area. When I'm up there I grab a sandwich. I don't head there if I want to have a nice dinner out.
3529 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
re: woodleyparkhound
Correction: I just realized that when I wrote "Friendship Heights, where you will be" I was READING Connecticut and Military Rd., but I was THINKING Wisconsin and Military Road. However, my recs still hold, though I was assuming you had no car.
Someone downthread was talking about parking hassles at Cleveland Park (Dino, Palena). Very true. I think parking would be easier at Conn. and Nebraska (Comet Ping Pong, Buck's Fishing and Camping, Politics and Prose). There is a parking lot behind those places.
3529 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
I don't know that side of CT Ave other than 2 Amys down CT...but on the Wisconsin Ave side - i used to live there - I love Mei Wah. There is also a Capitol Grille that opened, I believe, in that new center with Whole Foods (where Macy's used to me). There is also Famoso on Wisconsin Ave which is Italian - it's above the fancy stores on Wisc. Ave
5471 Wisconsin Blvd, Chevy Chase, MD 20815
Comet Ping Pong is good if you are open to pizza.
Comet Ping Pong
5037 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
At Conn & Militayr as others have noted there is Bucks, Comet Ping Pong, branch of Marvelous Market and the coffee house in the Politics and Prose Bookstore - closest Metro is about 8 blocks away (either Friendship Heights at Military and Wisconsin or Van Ness at Van Ness and Connecticut - both on the Red Line)
North on Connecticut there is Arucola and a few other restarants (inclduing greek restaurant - can't remember the name and haven't been in a while) - Arucola probably the best bet on quality
There is little in the Van Ness Metro
At Friendship Heights Metro there are a number of choices, many of them chains (e.g. Maggiano's - really not that good) but also some good options like Mia (for good pizza), Cyldes (not great but reliablae) and Indique Heights
Once you get to a Metro or if you have a car you do have many options including Cleveland Park where there are a number of good choices in a variety of price ranges and Woodley Park (Afghan Grill, Lebanese Taverna)
Two Amys' is quite a hike (WIsconsin and Macomb) from Conn & Military and not near a Metro stop
Two Amys
3715 Macomb St NW, Washington, DC 20016
Indique Heights
2 Wisconsin Circle, Chevy Chase, MD 20815
Marvelous Market
4832 Bethesda Ave, Bethesda, MD
Comet Ping Pong
5037 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
re: nytdct
Clarification - Bucks etc are at Conn & Nebraska, few blocks south of Conn & Military - Arucola etc probably about the same distance north - Friendship Heights Metro much closer than Van Ness
re: nytdct
Mia's is in Bethesda, not Friendship Heights.
re: cabbagehead
Well good heavens, Cabbagehead! If you have a car, the world is your oyster. So now let's get serious. First, you might need res at some of these places unless you are fond of standing in line. Palena is VERY hot right now due to the opening of a new and larger cafe space. I don't know if they take res for the cafe space. Dino - definitely recommend res. Also in that same block - Ardeo/Bardeo. Wonderful place. Your biggest issue here is not getting there, it is parking there. It sucks. There is a small lot in the block just north of Palena/Dino/ArdeoBardeo and you might get lucky. ArdeoBardeo has valet. The others, I don't think so but not sure. Street parking is a nightmare.
Go north a bit and you will come to the boring suburbs of Chevy Bloody Chase, in the words of Cat Ommanney. In the small commercial district, there is an office building on the east side that houses, in its lower level, a great Portuguese restaurant called Tavira. Don't let the age of the guests throw you off. There is a retirement building for rich people right next door. The food is terrific. And parking is easy - in fact you enter through the parking garage.
As you do have a car, I would suggest you steer away from any of the places just below Chevy Chase circle (such as Arucola). You can do much,much better. And sorry, I mean no disrespect to anyone, but Mei Wah has only one characteristic to recommend it. It is open on Christmas day. It is otherwise boring Americanized Chinese and pretty much everything on the menu tastes exactly the same.

re: cabbagehead
This is my 'hood and it's not the most happening food neighborhood- best options nearby are Bucks (overpriced but OK local spot), Comet Ping Pong (also overpriced, but good pizza). I think much of what's between Military and the Chevy Chase rotary is uninspired -- usually our closest local eat is Cafe Ole in Tenleytown - reasonably priced Mediterranean fare and lovely mezze.

Although automated kiosk machines that buy back personal electronic devices may seem like a quick way to get cash in exchange for old electronics, the Turlock City Council may put a ban on them.
During the government shutdown that ended on Wednesday, many political advocate groups targeted politicians throughout the nation in an attempt to pressure members of Congress to find a solution to the 16-day standoff.
The prolonged delay in sending out unemployment benefits in September by the California Employment Development Department has prompted two state senators to request an oversight hearing.
Although the federal government shutdown is still ongoing, it appears that some steps are being taken in Washington D.C. to make progress on resolving the differences between the House and Senate-passed farm bills.
Governor Jerry Brown signed two bills carried by Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto) on Thursday, both of which seek to support veterans.
The Turlock Fire Department is hoping to grow its ranks with a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
City and county officials are calling foul on a planned move by the Turlock branch of the Employment Development Department to Modesto.
Making up a large portion of Turlock's population, members of the Indian American community may soon receive an official recognition for their contributions to the city.
Representative Jeff Denham (R-CA) has joined forces with Rep. Mike Michaud (D-ME) to introduce a bipartisan bill that seeks to help small businesses have their voices heard throughout the Internal Revenue Service rulemaking process.
The legislative twists and turns in Congress' battle over the partial government shutdown and the entwined Republican effort to curtail President Barack Obama's health care law:
SACRAMENTO - Thousands of Californians seeking to buy their own health insurance flooded call centers with questions and overloaded the state's online marketplace Tuesday on the first day of a new federal health care law that will dramatically change the way Americans buy health insurance.
A new Central Valley flood plan is in the process of being created, and public input is strongly encouraged.
A series of workshops highlight the Turlock Planning Commission meeting this Thursday, with a focus on potential amendments to the City's regulations on temporary signs and sign spinners.
A group of 25 professionals are gearing up to take on the future of Turlock's economic growth, many with an open mind and genuine readiness to see the city's prosperity continue.
The California minimum wage is set to increase to $10 per hour by 2016 after Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed the bill into law on Wednesday.
There are approximately 100 boards and commissions to which the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors appoints community members and with several current vacancies for various unspecified boards as well as those unique to District 2 residents, locals interested in serving their community now have ample opportunity to do so.
The growing prescription drop-off program that allows individuals to dispose of unused medications in a safe manner will soon have a site in Turlock.
The 3.4 million small businesses in California that employ more than half the state's workforce could be facing a health insurance tax per the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On Tuesday Congressman Jeff Denham left Washington to make a local appearance and address small business owners' concerns regarding the tax at the Modesto Chamber of Commerce, an event hosted by the Stop the HIT coalition.

Against Entitlement is Lazarus Clamp's fifth studio album and it's really about time they get the level of recognition that they've earned. They've been consistently churning out delightfully off-kilter pop since the beginning of the decade, so why is nobody listening? Well I can't really answer that because they've come up trumps here yet again with another collection of great tunes which if they had come from a Pitchfork approved band would probably be rightly lauded.
There's a measured combination of spritely country tinged indie reminiscent of The Decemberists and wistful string arrangements which sound like a more subdued Arcade Fire. This often morphs in to skittering shouty punk which draws similarities to the glee of Architecture in Helsinki. There is a charming lethargy to these songs though as they just seem to meander along, unhindered by the frantic pace of modern life. And it's in the slowest moments that this album shines especially bright. The strings in particular tend to steal most of the limelight, when everything else breaks down to leave just fractured guitar lines and wandering percussion before the strings sweep in and lift everything back up into it's rightful, melodic place.
There are other moments though where the vocals command much of the attention with some neat self deprecating lyrics, particularly on Hard Work of Simple Things. In some of the lyrical content there are flashes of The Shins, as well as musically in some of the album's more pastoral moments such as the introspective Been Black Eyed.
There are points where it could be considered a bit samey and admittedly it would be nice to hear them strike out in to a new direction beyond wistful country or slightly shouty indie. And in fact the final track I am The Police embraces a more groove heavy approach which has hints of Queens of the Stone Age. Extra points must also be awarded for possibly my favourite song title of the year; The Night of the Steep Learning Curve. And indeed the track personifies what this kind of night might well be feel like, giving a sense of hopelessness shot through with optimism that it might actually be worth it in the end.
This album cements Lazarus Clamp's position as one of the UK's most criminally underrated bands, and I can only hope that this release helps to finally garner them the plaudits they've so clearly earned.

A rancher is the owner of a ranch, a spread of land where animals are raised. In The Western, usually this is cattle, but sheep, chicken and (in the modern day) ostriches are all potential ranches. The Rancher employs the Cowboy, Camp Cook and other ranch workers. He (or sometimes she) is the equivalent of a business owner in a more urban setting. They generally will dress a little better than their employees, but not too much—most ranchers are hands-on to some degree, and need to be able to do anything an ordinary cowboy could. Indeed, many a cowboy has the ambition of gaining a ranch of his very own. In fiction, the larger the ranch is, the more likely the rancher is to be the bad guy of the story. This is not a hard and fast rule (the Cartwrights of Bonanza have an immense spread, but are salt of the earth types), but that's the way to bet. If the rancher owns several ranches, or one big enough to count as its own feudal country, they become a Cattle Baron. "Saving the ranch" is a common plotline for Westerns, especially in B-movies, as a couple of bad years could put a small rancher on the verge of bankruptcy.

File this under something you may never see again.
Steve Blake was walking barefoot over the weekend near his Manhattan Beach home, when he stepped right on a parking spike.
He'll be out for three weeks, camp starts in one week and the first preseason game is October 7. Luckily, the Lakers will be starting Steve Nash because Blake will need some recovery time.
Blake isn't a huge asset to the Lakers, other than giving the point guard some rest time, especially since he's no longer starting. His being out of the game for the preseason will have very little, if any effect on the team.
What's most baffling about this is how you step on a parking spike? Not looking? Playing around? If your livelihood is made from running around and shooting, you would think he'd take precautions to not mess up his feet.
But then again, he's got two more years on his contract and $8 million coming his way. Sitting on the bench and cashing a check is way easier than actually playing, especially for someone who doesn't have a Kobe Bryant mentality.

TW: mentions of violence, racism, sexualization
[image description: A poster for Max Payne 3. At the foreground on the right is Max Payne, a white cis man with a beard, holding a whiskey a glass and wiping his mouth. In the background to the left is a dark-skinned cis man with most his face covered, holding an automatic weapon in one hand. To his right is a white cis woman with her hands behind her back, writhing in pain]
This is the newest cover art for the game Max Payne 3.
Let's ignore Max Payne himself. Let's ignore the game's content, message, previous incarnations, et cetera. This post is just about the advertisement poster, and I do realize I am largely taking it out of the context of whatever kind of game Max Payne is. This cover art displays some very racialized, sexualized images that I'm actually surprised a game company would actually use.
Let's start with the woman. Looking at her in the background is very discomforting. Although she appears to be held captive against her will, her post is almost model-esque, just teetering on the edge of looking like she's in pain or in pleasure. It evokes both violence and sexualization at the time, a rarity, but not unheard of, in advertisements and posters and covers featuring women.
Now, let's look at the dark-skinned man to the left of her. Max Payne 3 appears to be set in Brazil, so of course there are going to be brown people around. However, even without the context of the game, just take a look at that image. A dark-skinned, evil looking man taking hostage of a beautiful white, or at least light-skinned, woman. This is something I think we see all too often.
We can look at the presentation of the woman and the presentation of the dark-skinned man, but when you put them both together onto one cover art with Max, who many unfamiliar with the game will probably assume is the protagonist, at the foreground of the picture, how can anyone look at it and not see a sexualized, racialized image?

Naughty Dog Provides New Female Villain for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
It seems that in the tradition of the Uncharted Series, the villain for the third installment will have a European accent and a load of henchmen. The latest female character in the series will be this installment's main villain (though, also in the tradition of the Uncharted series, the "real" villain is never who the game leads you to believe).
The Uncharted game series has provided two of the most dynamic cis-female characters in recent video game history: the vivacious, is-she-or-isn't-she-an-ally bombshell Chloe, and the loyal, strong-willed, and compassionate Elena. Although these two women are vastly different, they surprisingly do well with not succumbing to the usual paths that games all-too-often make and set them up as opponents fighting over Drake, but rather, they are well-rounded characters that the gamers learn to care about throughout the series, particularly Elena, who essentially provides much of the heart in the series.
But without even delving into the significance of this new female character, if you follow the link of this video to youtube, there are several very sexist comments that seemed to be "liked" by the obviously heavy cis-hetero-male audience of the franchise, including the classic, "She needs to get back into the kitchen" joke right at the top. If anything, it is an example of the male entitlement a lot of cis-hetero-male gamers feel as they consider the gaming universe to be a place for "them," therefore leading them to disregard many dynamic, powerful female characters for the sake of asserting that female characters, often emasculators, such as the one presented here do not "invade their space." Games and the gaming community should not be dominated by this terribly oppressive mindset; there needs to be an assertion of the diversity within the gaming community and speak out against all of the cis-hetero-male privilege that hampers the evolution of games as social media.
Either way, Uncharted 3 is a game I am excited for, so hopefully, this villain will prove to be worthy of the franchise.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Moved from New Jersey to Florida a Year ago and my son improved 100% from B and C's to A and B Honor Roll.
I love this school !!!! My son is an out of area student and is welcomed back every year. We drive far to bring him to school every day...but it is so worth it. He started out in the ese program and mainsteamed into kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. He is doing so well in this school. It is a public school that feels like a private school. Every staff member that I have met has been wonderful. They know the children by name and parents too.There is great parent involvement as well. The principle is outstanding along with her whole staff !!!! We are blessed to be here !!!!
As with almost any other school, your child will get out of this school what the parent is willing to put in. The principal is absolutely incredible, and she has help me with my two sons more than I could ever thank her. It was a struggle for my wife and I for a few years with them, and it was not until we went to the school, approached Principal Beck, guidance, and everyone there that we were able to come up with a plan to turn things around. We owe a lot to Principal Beck, and everyone else at Saddlewood.
Sent my child here, we moved from a state with a better school system. I hated this school...its the worst one I have seen yet. The teacher my son had did not tell us about any problems my son was having until it got worse and I tried to work with the teacher ti find a solution, she was no help. She did not seem to care if her students did well or not. The drop off line and pick up line is an awful idea...it takes forever to drop off your child. The principal however did seem alright...the dean did try to help with things. maybe it was just the teacher he had but I pulled my son out after that 1 year there, we moved to north carolina, they are so much better there.
I could not be any happier with Saddlewood. The teachers are very caring and there for what ever you may need. Mrs. Laffey is the best principle I have seen at any school district. She is always there for students and family 100%. Would not ever consider sending my children elsewhere. Keep up the good work:))
This school is a joke! My family has given them chance after chance to redeem themselves but they continue to let us down! We will be transferring to a private school as soon as possible! the teachers couldn't care any less about the success of their students, it is impossible to get in touch with any of them, FCAT is the ONLY focus of education tought here as ive seen over the years and my child's education and learning experience is suffering......please I beg any parent looking into sending your child here to immediately reconsider!
We have been parents of Saddlewood students since 2004. For the most part I have nothing but praise for the school and school's faculty. The principal and vice-principal are deeply dedicated to the students and their individual success. My older child is mildly autistic and my younger has learning disabilities. They have been patient and supportive with all of us. We tried the home school route for a year and private school for another year. The difference between the quality of education is almost immeasurable. I regret wasting money and valuable time on private school when compared to this school. No matter where your child goes to school you will have great and not-so-great teachers. We have for the most part been very fortunate to have deeply dedicated and skilled teachers. The school is very strict in its code of conduct but I am grateful for the regulation.
We moved to Florida from one of the best school districts in the country and had heard all the horror stories about Florida schools so we were expecting it to be a little different but this place is horrendous! It felt like we had left the US entirely and moved to a third world country. Absolutely no playgrounds, no recess, no talking at lunch or any other time of the day either. After 3 weeks of school my kids couldn t name one other kid in their class! The teacher s poor grammar and attitudes toward students are both appalling. They do nothing but FCAT drills. There is no other teaching whatsoever. Both school and homework consist entirely of practice FCAT tests. The only thing my kids learned there was to 'guess B if you don t know the answer' We got out as fast as we could.
bad parent/ teacher communication.No breaks or playtime!!! Teachers talk down to students ,shout at them and humiliate them in front of each other. My child came home very upset every day and said that teacher made them cry and that they are afraid of him. They should be positive with the kids and encourage them instead of bringing them down and making them feel bad......our children are little people learning and growing and they are at a very vulnerable stage in their lives!
Before moving to Marion County, my children attended only private schools. We moved in the middle of the school year and were forced to enroll them in the public school system. We were very nervous about it. Fortunatley Saddlewood exceeded what we expected. The principal is just amazing! I see all the negative comments about this school. However when Mrs. Laffey showed up things changed. Our kids are in their second year there after attending one of the highest ranking private schools in the state of Florida. We couldn't be happier with the education that they are recieving in this school. Ofcourse, private schools will always have access to better resources, but the most important resource is people. Mrs. Laffey and her troops appear to be filling that need remarkably.
Great School for my kids!!!
I can't say enough good things about Saddlewood. As a parent of a special needs student, the teachers and staff went out of their way to make her learning experience a positive one. She was only 3 1/2 when she started, with a development of a 2 year old. After only 6 months in the program, not only has she caught up age wise, but exceeded all expectations. This is because of the loving and caring teachers that Saddlewood offers. the pick up and drop off might be bad, but it's for the safety of the kids!
I have sent notes to the teacher, calls to the administration and nobody responds. We moved here from CT and expected academic differences, unfortunately we've not been disappointed. There is no recess in this school but children do get gym 2-3 times/week. The teacher put 6 children in a 20 min. time-out for talking in line on the second week of school! Figure the class is about a half hour and they had to sit out for 20 mins of it --- ridiculous! When I called the office about their time-out procedure, they never responded. The drop-off and pick-up procedure is another example of what's wrong at that school. Picture an airport w/curbside check-in. One at a time, each car is loaded and unloaded at the curb. We WILL find another school before the beginning of next year.
This school is, to put it nicely, not great. I have a daughter in second grade and I have tried multiple times to get ahold of her teacher to no success. The teacher involvement, to my experience, is horrible and the teaching is minimal. It seems as if they do what they have to in order to get by and that's it.
Excellent school if you can pick the teachers. Like all Marion public schools - they don't have much to offer the gifted.
Saddlewood is an exceptional elementary school with a very high ratio of excellent teachers. My 9 year old daughter loves her school and has had spectacular teachers since first grade.
I have two children who have been going to Saddlewood Elementary for the past three years. I absolutely love this school, The teachers are so positive with the children. They will take time to make sure that they give your child any extra help he/she needs, and always keeps the parents involved in all of the children activity's and education. I have nothing negative to say about this school. I'm just so glad my kids are lucky enough to be getting a great education from here.
Coming from another county where uniforms are manditory and the school was year around with the best teachers, this school was such a major let down for us! We now have the kids in a private school. Saddlewood rates a 2 or less. I wish we would have known this before we moved to Marion County! My oldest child's class was told daily by their teacher that they wouldn't make it to the next grade! (the child is an 'A' student) My youngest child's teacher didn't even know what was going on. There is no PTA only PTO meaning no funds need I say more? We live in a very nice middle class neighborhood and we expected more.

Support for the Death Penalty Based Upon Race
CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice
Perceived Fairness of the Legal System and Support for the Death Penalty Based Upon Race
Controversy between whether the legal system is perceived as unfair towards people because of their racial background is one issue that can't possibly be resolved. However, studies have been done in the past to determine how people of different racial backgrounds themselves, perceive the fairness of the system. A number of studies have examined many similar factors of the legal system (e.g., the death penalty, police use of force, police power etc.), and tried to find relationships between those relative kinds of variables. Although most of the prior studies typically focus on Caucasian and African American beliefs, there has not been much on Hispanic beliefs when they are in particular the largest minority group in the United States (Lee, 2007). This research was designed to understand the beliefs in the perceived fairness of the legal system not only for the Caucasians and African Americans, but for the Hispanics as well. However, the question studied was whether there was a relationship between the beliefs regarding the fairness of the legal system and support for the death penalty based upon each racial group.
Past research has a respectable amount of evidence that expands along the same lines of this research question. One literature review written by Shaheen Halim and Beverly Stiles (2001), examines the effects of race, gender, and geographical region on support for many legal system policies. One of the main theories within this study was that not all racial groups in society positively approve criminal justice policies and practices to which they see themselves being disproportionately subject. The authors believed that because law and its enforcement reflect the interests of the powerful, law enforcement is unreasonably...

Your Monday nights just got a little bit worse
3/13/13 in NFL | Pat | 5235 respect
Obstructer of justice? Certainly.
Cheater? Possibly.
Monday Night Football analyst? Sigh, yes.
Ray Lewis has officially joined ESPN, and will be part of their Monday Night Football entourage.
Fortunately, he won't actually be on the field, so you won't have to hear him quote passages of scripture that have nothing to do with the situation, or watch his absurdly self aggrandizing dance.
Make no mistake, however. Lewis and ESPN will find a way to make the broadcasts about him. They'll make sure to incorporate some ridiculous pre-game speech or some other moronic and stereotypical Ray Lewis nonsense in there. Trust me, it'll happen.
What do you think about this move? Are you excited to see Ray Lewis on Monday Night Football? Or are you as disappointed as I am?

However, for car owners on a budget, we wanted to offer something really good - the WeatherTech® AVM®.
The WeatherTech® AVM® (All-Vehicle Mat) is the evolution of the "Universal" All-Weather Floor Mat. As such, it is the most technologically advanced universal trim-to-fit mat made today as it has a unique shape for the driver and passenger floor.
Our product designers measured multiple vehicles to determine the best combination of ideal fit and indicated trim lines that allow you to make a custom fit, while maintaining the desirable attributes that our customers have come to expect from a WeatherTech® product.
AVM® All-Vehicle Mats have tall outer ridges and channels to help guide fluids to the lower half of the mat where a reservoir traps fluids and debris - away from your feet and clothes. The AVM® is made from an advanced thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that is odorless, non-toxic and stays flexible in the coldest of temperatures. Enhancing safety, the AVM® feature the patented MatGrip® retention device as well as molded-in nibs that add security to the mat-to-floor interface. Available in black, tan or grey.
Remember – before you place your order, this is a trim-to-fit universal-type floor mat. If you wish to have a custom mat for your vehicle, please see the FloorLiner™, or our All-Weather Floor Mats.

Air Jordan XX8 SE "Pure Platinum"
April 21st, 2014 by Aaron Hope | 3 comments
Ray Allen just gave away a worn Air Jordan XX8 SE, and with the XX9 right around the corner, we can't help but wonder what's in store for the all-time three-point shooter. So as the NBA's elite prepare to potentially shed the 28th Air Jordan, the unshrouded version is stripping off its colors for this elegant new drop. Mixing Pure Platinum and white up top with black accents, this latest XX8 SE has the look of a regular season home shoe for Michael Jordan, but is right now during this first week of NBA Playoff action available from spots like Oneness.

Consider the following situation. You go out after work with a few friends and have a couple of drinks. You think you are ok to drive home. The cop that pulls you over for swerving thought otherwise. Before you know it you are sitting in a jail cell. You get bailed out and are now facing a serious DUI charge. Right now you have a choice and that is to hire a DUI lawyer or accept the court appointed one. You would be a lot better off in the long run to hire your own. There are a few reasons why.
The one thing you are in danger of losing is our drivers license. An experienced attorney can help you retain it even if it is to drive back and forth to work.
They can also look at your actual arrest a lot more thoroughly. This includes looking unconstitutional doings by the arresting officer. Did they have real probably cause to pull you over? Did they read you our Miranda rights?
You can also count on their guidance to help you in your case. They have most likely been in court for several hundred or even thousand cases and know exactly what to expect. The plea bargain is one of the things that they know about and will know exactly what to ask for. That may include probation or community service which is a lot better then possible jail time. They can also help keep your criminal record clean which is very important for a lot of different reasons by itself.
Facing a DUI charge in court can be made a lot easier by hiring a DUI lawyer. If you find yourself facing a charge make sure you keep the above mentioned things in mind when it comes time for you to decide if you want to hire one or not.

With the draft one week from tonight, we focus on a draft from our history. It's time for another edition of "Throwback Thursday".
Over the last few weeks, we have been going back to drafts from years gone by that have gone well. Yes, we actually have had ones that went well, despite the fact the Jets have been the butts of most of the NFL draft history jokes out there.
We have covered a couple of drafts from the seventies. Last week, we went through the notables from the 2001 NFL draft.
For this week, our final Throwback Thursday before draft day, we go back one more time. We go back to a draft engineered by a guy we love to hate, the one and only Mike Tannenbaum.
Let's go ahead with the slideshow and you can remember back with all of us, the notable players chosen by the Jets in the 2006 NFL Draft. Come, let's reminisce:
