ATLANTA — A Georgia state lawmaker on Thursday filed legislation that targets illegal immigrants in the work force and is drawing criticism from several fronts, including the state's No. 1 industry, agriculture.
Like a bill filed last week in the Georgia House of Representatives, the proposal from state Sen. Jack Murphy and other Republican senators would require all private employers to use a federal database to check that new hires are in the country illegally. But, unlike the House bill, it includes exemptions for employers who use certain work visa programs.
"What we want to do is have the employers ... check on their employees to make sure that they're in this country legally, working legally under the proper visas," Murphy told reporters.
The exemption would include the H2-A visa program, which allows farmers to bring in workers from other countries for seasonal work. The program is very unpopular with the state's farmers, who say it is cumbersome and expensive.
Growers in Georgia employ illegal immigrants and other laborers to plant and harvest labor-intensive crops, particularly fruits and vegetables easily bruised by machines.
Michael Hively, chairman of the Vidalia Onion Business Council of Georgia and CFO of Bland Farms, said using the government's visa program for short-term agriculture workers is expensive. His farm uses that program to get up to 350 workers.
Farmers must provide housing for temporary workers, cover their transportation costs and pay them a better wage than illegal immigrants.
"The smaller growers out there ... do not have the housing and the infrastructure set up to do" it, Hively said. "We need immigration reform, but we need it at the national level."
The Georgia Farm Bureau, a lobbying group, said it was still studying the proposal and could not immediately comment. But the organization voted at its annual convention in December to oppose any state immigration measure that "discriminates against the farm worker" and puts farmers at a competitive disadvantage.
In a statement a week before the release of his bill, Murphy said he wanted to create an exclusion for the agriculture industry, but his bill would also apply to other special visa programs, including the H-1B visa, which allows companies to bring in highly specialized workers, and the H-2B visa, which allows employers to bring in foreign workers for short-term, nonagricultural work.
The bill drew criticism from D.A. King, founder of the Dustin Inman Society, which argues for strong immigration enforcement measures.
"On illegal employment, the bill's author has excluded so many industries from the badly needed required statewide use of the no-cost federal E-Verify system so as to make it a parody of an employment enforcement bill," King said in a statement.
Like the House bill introduced last week, Murphy's legislation would require law enforcement officers, during any stop of a criminal suspect, to verify the immigration status of the suspect if they believe the person is in the country illegally. If the person is determined to be here illegally, the bill would allow officers to arrest them and take them to a federal detention facility.
Civil liberties groups have said such measures are unconstitutional, and a federal judge blocked similar provisions in a law enacted in Arizona last year after the federal government filed a lawsuit. An appeal of that decision is pending.
Murphy's legislation also says certain non-citizens can be punished by a fine of $100 and/or 30 days in jail if they fail to carry proof of their immigration status.
Public employers are already required to use E-Verify to check the immigration status of new hires, but Murphy's bill would implement stricter penalties for those who fail to comply, including fines of $5,000 to $10,000, prison time and removal from office.
The legislation would provide for a standardized affidavit for government contractors to prove they're using the federal verification system. Punishment for contractors and subcontractors who falsify affidavits would include a fine of $1,000 for each day they act in violation and would bar them from bidding on public contracts for a year.
"Our system in Georgia is for our citizens and legal residents of our state," Murphy said, explaining why he believes tougher immigration legislation is necessary.
He said he didn't know how much implementation of his bill, particularly new enforcement measures, would cost. But he argued that illegal immigrants are a drain on the state's taxpayer-funded resources.
Murphy told reporters he is confident that his law would stand up to any challenge brought against it.
Atlanta immigration lawyer and former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association Charles Kuck doesn't believe that's true.
In an analysis of the bill, he says it "has so many inconsistencies, incongruities, and flat out confusing sections that if by some miracle it is passed, it would never see the daylight of its effective date."
The Associated Press
"Growers in Georgia employ illegal immigrants and other laborers to plant and harvest labor-intensive crops, particularly fruits and vegetables easily bruised by machines."
Over half of Georgia's agricultural categorized revenues come from the poultry industry, centered in Gainesville - the town with the second highest concentration of illegal alien residents - not a lot of bruised fruits and vegetables there.
Dalton is number one in illegal aliens, as many Chattanoogans must already know, from observing the mass invasion of your public spaces - check out the Whitfield County license plates. Not a lot of bruised fruits and vegetables in Dalton either.
The promoters of cheap, fugutive, taxpayer subsidized labor, use the "working in the fields" excuse, for dramatic affect.
The vast majority of illegal aliens residing in Georgia have no affiliation with bruised fruits and vegetables.
Institute immigration amnesty nationwide. Stop wasting time with nonsensical bills like these.
The Republican Congress of the 1990s made sure that there is no reasonable and legal means for most people to immigrate into the United States.
Obviously, that means Republican laws have done more to support illegal immigration by requiring it than any other group. Republican legislators love exploiting people for profit.
Reject those ideas. Legalize immigration procedures to reasonable levels and grant blanket amnesty to these people who have come here already.
"Republican legislators love exploiting people for profit."
What Republican legislators really love, is perpetuating themselves.
The candidates are hand picked by various business interests for their lack of a conscience and ability to lie to voters convincingly.
Once candidates are chosen, the business interests finance the research to politically assassinate opponents, determine the talking points that will garner the most votes, and run ads to accomplish both, to ad nauseum.
Once their candidates are elected, they then do their,(business interests) bidding, exclusively.
In the case of this issue, business interests love cheap, fugitive,(under duress) labor. It is the business interests, e.g., carpet cartel, poultry cartel, etc., not the legislators, who love exploiting people for profit.
The legislators are empty suits - professional actors, who do what they are told.

Spring is supposed to be the time of renewal but for those of us in the newspaper business (and on the sports beat) that time actually comes in late summer-early fall. That's because schools get back in session and so do the fall sports teams. From the digs and exciting kills on the volleyball court to the headers on the soccer field and the signature raising of the helmets following a football game, it's time to get things started.
The postseason storyline for Frank Burke isn't finished yet.
It's a day those who lived through will never forget – Sept. 11, 2001.
Amid plenty of pomp and circumstance, Oak Valley Care Center welcomed a new resident on Friday.
Teams from Oakdale made plenty of noise at the weekend Cassy Rowe benefit soccer tournament hosted at Cherry Island Soccer Complex near Sacramento.
Taking three wins in four games played over the weekend, the Oakdale Insanity U19 soccer girls came home with consolation honors from the Dublin Shamrock Tournament.
For the first time in I can't even count how many years, the 'Back to School' sales did not instill a sense of panic in me.
Four games over two days and a battle for top honors added up to an exciting weekend of soccer.
When Emmy McDaniel's son Clayton joined the Navy after graduating from Oakdale High School in 2013, she became one of many parents who are part of a special group, facing uncertainty as she waits to find out where his career takes him.
School supplies are being collected now, as Oakdale Joint Unified School District officials look toward the fast approaching start of the new school year.
By definition, 'vacation' means an 'extended period of recreation' either at home or in travel. The word has also gained the reputation of meaning you get some rest while you are on vacation but that particular four-letter word did not seem to be on the itinerary for this trip.
Sometimes writing a monthly column seems like putting together my life, chapter by chapter. I have even had more than one person suggest all the columns be put together into a book but who knows if that will ever happen.
Though a downpour, lightning and thunder dampened preparation efforts on Friday, the 13th annual Relay For Life of Oakdale went on undaunted over the weekend, hundreds of participants raising thousands of dollars in the fight against cancer.
Even his mom is amazed.
From one end of the community to the other, volunteers fanned out to attack overgrown lawns, clean up alleyways, spruce up planter boxes, help their neighbors and, just generally, Love Oakdale.
October is over. And on a brief shopping excursion on Saturday, Nov. 1, I noticed with more than a little horror that the Halloween costumes that were placed on 75 percent clearance were right next to the brightly decorated Christmas trees, tinsel and holiday wreaths.
Oakdale voters overwhelmingly approved continuation of a half-cent sales tax in voting on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Longtime Escalon Unified School District board member John Largent was returned to the board by an overwhelming majority in the Tuesday election.
In the Turlock Octoberfest Tournament over the weekend – all games were played at Mistlin Sports Complex in Ripon – a trio of Oakdale United competitive travel soccer teams battled hard, coming way with different results.
The most dramatic hit in the era of the modern day San Francisco Giants – a three-run, pennant clinching blast off the bat of journeyman Travis Ishikawa – landed in the hands of Oakdale's Frank Burke.

There are still a few more glorious weeks of summer vacation left, and it's time to make the most of them! Whether your kids have been living it up all summer or they've fallen into an "'I'm bored" rut, now's the time to really soak up the sun and have fun outdoors before the start of school. Read on for suggestions to help you enjoy this last stretch of summer.
1. Find a new bike path
What better way to spend a day than to venture off your beaten path to explore a new bike trail? Spend the day cruising around a new park and stopping to check out playgrounds, streams, or good climbing trees on the way. Check your state or city parks and recreation department website to browse options.
2. Take a hike on a nature trail
A park nearby likely has a nature trail, where your kids can learn about the plants and animals living in your area while hiking. If you're lucky, you might even see one of your local animal residents while on the trail. To make more of a day of it, stop by the library in the morning to get guidebooks so your kids can identify more plants, bugs, and animals while they're on the trail.
3. Go on a picnic
A picnic at the park (or in your back yard) is a great way to spend a few hours having some fun at lunch or dinner. Pack a blanket, a cooler of drinks, and prepare some sandwiches or an easy meal to eat. After you're done, take a post-meal walk — or just stretch out with a good book on your blanket.
4. Have a full-scale neighborhood water fight
Get the whole neighborhood together for a full-on water fight. With sprinklers, water guns, water balloons, and slip-and-slides distributed throughout all of the yards in your neighborhood, it's guaranteed to be a good time for all ages. You can mix in more structured events like water balloon tosses and team games during the day.
5. Catch fireflies at night
After dinner, once your neighborhood games have died down, head out to your back yard or a nearby field to catch fireflies. Use your hands or jars you have handy in the kitchen — just make sure to let them go once everyone is done playing!
6. Go backyard camping
For a fun outdoor activity that won't require you to leave the comfort of your own yard, try backyard camping! Your friends can invite their friends over to make a night of it.
We hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your summer and can fill your days with your favorite activities! If you'd like to add some fun and games to your yard, browse our range of swing sets, basketball hoops, and trampolines — and contact us today.Tweet

Overland SUMMER CAMPS FOR 4TH - 12TH GRADERS Family Login
This is the Overland experience: a small group with inspiring leadership, engaged in a carefully crafted summer camp program that captures their imagination, stretches their abilities and strengthens their bonds with each other.
We place a premium on selflessness, consideration for others and teamwork. In doing so, we catalyze in the young people who join us an understanding of the world beyond themselves, beyond their own needs and wants—and we do this while showing them how beautiful and exciting, how full of promise the world is.
The Overland experience is not simply a summer experience—it's a life experience with value and resonance that extends far beyond the boundaries of a single summer.
For 30 years Overland has provided rewarding summer camp experiences for more than 17,000 young people. Evaluated on overall quality and some 300 standards, Overland is fully accredited by the nationally-recognized American Camp Association, a distinction earned by few of our peers. Learn more about our accreditation and how we manage risk at Overland.
Small Groups
All of our groups are limited to 12 campers, and each group always has two adult counselors (one male and one female). When building our groups, we pay attention to age, grade, gender ratio and the mix of hometowns and schools. We also limit friend pairs in a group to just two (and we never accept triples). We have found that limitiing our groups to 12, and always having two adults in charge, is just about the perfect group size—big enough for lots of fun and friendships, small enough for caring support and terrific supervision.
Far more than simply guides, Overland's counselors are excellent role models for our campers. Bright, charismatic and accomplished, our counselors-- at Overland they're called leaders, and rightly so-- focus on creating supportive, wholesome environments where our campers can flourish. Learn more about our leaders.
An Overland trip is guided by our leaders but driven by our campers. With their leaders' support, our campers capably manage much of the work of the trip: preparing meals, leading activities, finding routes, cleaning up, doing laundry. Sharing these daily tasks creates spirited, close-working groups where everyone contributes.
We carefully review each application with the goal of putting together groups of great kids. Our admissions team considers each applicant's health and fitness, and looks closely at the school reference that is submitted as a part of the enrollment process.
At Overland, the group always comes first. By valuing teamwork and celebrating selflessness, campers learn critical leadership skills. Simple things, like waiting for each other at meals or doing more than your fair share, lead to important lessons that stretch far beyond the boundaries of the summer.
Every Overland summer camp program is a set of carefully crafted challenges with clearly defined goals: bike a coast, hike a mountain, serve a community, learn a language, improve a critical skill. The challenges are carefully calibrated, and the goal is always to have fun and make friends along the way.
We expect a lot of our campers—from playing by the rules to helping out to having a positive attitude. The obvious is prohibited—smoking, drinking and drugs—but more than that we strive to create wholesome and enthusiastic groups where campers feel welcomed and valued.
Overland campers leave their phones and electronics at home—for the time that they're with us they are fully engaged with their group and their trip. Cameras, of course, are always welcome.
Our year-round staff of professionals has years of experience. With a wide range of talents and backgrounds, from newlyminted college grads to parents of Overland students, our staff brings a variety of perspectives to our work. Meet our office staff.
We put all of our effort into our summer camps for kids—the year-long focus of our senior staff is on getting ready for a great summer camp season-- that's it. For 30 years we have dedicated ourselves solely to creating the best summer camp experiences.
We're proud of Overland, and we care deeply about our work. We are driven by Overland's mission—to catalyze in our campers an understanding of the world beyond themselves. We demand the best of ourselves because we want the best for them.
We're always happy to talk about what makes Overland's summer camp programs unique—so call us: we'd love to tell you more about what an Overland summer could mean for you. Contact us today.

well steeped in their disciplines. They must remain active in their areas of scholarship to ensure that the content of their courses is current, accurate, and balanced, especially when presenting information that may be open to alternative interpretation or disagreement by experts in the field. They also should allow all students to appreciate "… interrelationships among the sciences and the sciences' relationship to the humanities, social sciences, and the political, economic, and social concerns of society" (NRC, 1999a, p. 26).
Knowledge of subject matter can be interpreted in other ways. For example, several recent reports (e.g., Boyer Commission, 1998; NRC, 1999a; National Science Foundation [NSF], 1996) have emphasized that the undergraduate experience should add value in tangible ways to each student's education. Faculty must teach subject matter in ways that encourage probing, questioning, skepticism, and integration of information and ideas. They should provide students with opportunities to think more deeply about subject matter than they did in grades K–12. They should enable students to move intellectually beyond the subject matter at hand.
Faculty who possess deep knowledge and understanding of subject matter demonstrate the following characteristics:
They can help students learn and understand the general principles of their discipline (e.g., the processes and limits of the scientific method).
They are able to provide students with an overview of the whole domain of the discipline (e.g., Coppola et al., 1997).
They possess sufficient knowledge and understanding of their own and related sub-disciplines to answer most students' questions and know how to help students find appropriate information.
They stay current through an active research program or through scholarly reading and other types of professional engagement with peers.
They are genuinely interested in what they are teaching.
They understand that conveying the infectious enthusiasm that accompanies original discovery, application of theory, and design of new products and processes is as important to learning as helping students understand the subject matter.
Deep understanding of subject matter is critical to excellent teaching, but not sufficient. Effective teachers also understand that, over the course of their

It's sobering when you stop and think that two people visiting Napa Valley for a day of wine tasting can rack up a bill of $200 if they visit four wineries @ $25 a tasting. Honestly, that's ridiculous.
I found an interesting piece in the Chronicle this weekend that was frustrating for my wife and I as we contemplated our place in it. It visits the idea that Napa Valley caters to those who can afford it, and if you want a personal experience, like a 'private VIP artisan cheese and wine experience', it's going to cost you.
One of the wineries profiled by Stacey Finz in her article was Darioush. The idea that they 'cater to people who spend 500 to 700 a night for a room' wasn't always a signature of the winery. There's a different Darioush that I remember.
A few years ago, as you piloted your car down the dirt road littered with construction equipment, you pulled up on what was the Darioush winery tasting room, a double-wide trailer. It had a nice paint scheme and lots of vegetation that hid it's cheap siding. Upon entering you were greeted with warm smiles, and CAD drawings of the glorious winery building soon to be. A small group of customers gathered around the six foot long wood counter, or 'tasting bar', munching on a couple small dishes filled with pistachios, while sampling the current flight of wine. The staff was friendly and, most importantly, passionate about the wines they were pouring. Obviously they weren't relying on the grandeur of the building to woo you into making a purchase. It was always about the wine, and providing you with an enjoyable experience.
Sometimes you were treated by Bernard, the then president of Darioush, to a little extra taste of something special; a sample of his own salad dressing, maybe a sip of the desert wine that wasn't being served, sometimes even a barrel sample of a soon to be released varietal. He was so passionate about the project and personally interested in the modest amount of visitors that came in, he was willing to take time out of his busy day to talk to you. Slowly, more people started showing up, as word of mouth spread between wine lovers. There was good wine and personal attention for you at Darioush, all included in the small tasting fee. It felt like a Napa Valley that once was.
Things have changed, and now Darioush is just like any other well known winery in the area, catering to the large tour bus visitors, offering wine and cheese sit downs for $65 a person. It's still a friendly staff, but one that no longer has time to provide much personal attention or small perks unless you're willing to pay for it. The now president of Darioush, Dan de Polo, remarks toward the end of the article that "It's the golden age to be a wine enthusiast."
Is it really? Have I missed something? Spending a ridiculous amount of money to sip wine in crowded tasting rooms while receiving drone like attention is not my idea of a golden age. The golden age of Napa already happened, and some saw it briefly again inside a double-wide trailor.

Memories Remain Vivid
The women remembered very well what had happened and how they felt. The two birth stories were remarkably alike despite the many years between the two. Although details such as the breathing patterns they used and the names of their nurses tended to be forgotten, they remembered other personal little things very clearly and described them similarly in the two stories.
For example, one woman remembered her bag of waters breaking in the living room and her husband scolding the dog, thinking the dog had wet the rug! Another woman remembered being mesmerized by a paper bag taped to her nightstand -- she even described the blue flowers on the bag! She stared at that bag for every contraction and will never forget it. Another remembered the excited ride to the hospital, when she and her husband were singing, "We're off to see the baby, the wonderful baby of ours," to the tune of "We're Off to See the Wizard." All the women remembered details about going into labor, arriving at the hospital, what their partners did (or didn't do) and some of the thoughts they had while in labor.
They also remembered both positive and negative things that were done to them by their doctors and nurses. Some remembered soothing back rubs, praise and kind, encouraging words, but others (the minority, thankfully) remembered being told to "Stop doing that breathing right now," being threatened with, "If you think this is bad, just wait," or their husbands being told to leave. Most remembered the actual delivery and their feelings when they saw and held their babies for the first time. Some remembered large painful episiotomies that took weeks or months to heal.

Nov 21, 2012Don't wanna spoil anything for anyone who is going to purchase or is thinking of purchasing this. This final conclusion pretty much summarises the highs of the series as a whole. The pacing is just right and the acting for the most part is spot on. There are few games that shock me or connect with me emotionally but The Walling Dead not just in this episode but as an entire series has been great to experience. This is one of the strongest episodes,particular as it doesn't have nearly as many bugs as some of the other episodes and while at some moments you might think that would have been more logical? The game carefully intertwines with your previous decisions to deliver a climax not too fuelled on being the next Michael Bay film but about human nature and looking after those you care about. I rarely give 10's and I would rather give 9.5 but on this metacritic scale its closer to 10 than 9 - The best chapter in the entire series in my opinion.… Expand
Nov 21, 2012All in all, Episode 5 is the best episode in the series, and the series itself is easily Game of the Year for me. No game has made me feel so connected to the characters. This is definitely the shortest chapter in the series, and there is almost little to no puzzle solving, but who cares? The story outshines everything in this episode. Absolutely EVERYTHING. Even the technical hiccups that originally plagued the game. If you haven't already, BUY THE GAME. And prepare for a treat if you haven't seen any episode gameplay on youtube that is based on the game.… Expand
Jan 10, 2013Wow, I would say this was one of the best experiences of it's type that can be had in regards to Zombie fiction. What a fleshed out heart-wrench, and there were many instances of my mouth hitting the floor for the utter brutality contained within. I will say bravo, the artists and designers deserve the 10's on this one. I would say that the only thing that holds back mine is the glitches that made the game unplayable at time, and just flat out ruined some of the most suspenseful portions of the game. Stuttering, stalling and lagging. Holy God. In multiple occasions I lost the ability to make a choice of speech due to the glitches. I wish this would have been more polished on the BR Disc release.… Expand
Dec 3, 2012I have very mixed feelings about this last episode. It is no doubt a powerful ending that will make you feel for the characters involved and fit with the mood of the entire series. But it also was too short and very little actually happened as compared to other episodes.
Nov 22, 2012What an epic conclusion to an epic series. In my top 3 games of the year. I thought I was going to cry during the final scene. Wouldn't have minded waiting a couple of extra weeks for them to create more content as I do think (at around a quarter of the length of the others) it represents poor value for money when compared to the other episodes. For this reason, I give it 9.5. I hope season 2 can live up to the huge expectations that will surely be placed on it after all the GOTY's it will scoop. On a side note, the characterisations are so good that when me and the gf watch the series, we comment how bland they are compared to the game.… Expand
Nov 22, 2012I've been at loss of words for hours after finishing this game, but I finally brought myself together and wrote this review, so let's get down with it. In a time where gaming is full of games with no feelings, no heart, this game comes and changes everything, redefines gaming itself. The way you get attached to every single one of the survivors, plus the amazing story-telling, beautiful visual style and incredible performances, make up for one of gaming's finest experiences. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, so if you haven't played this game yet, do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this amazing game. Mark my words, gaming will never be the same after this game, a game that is going to be talked about for years to come.… Expand
Nov 22, 2012One of the most moving games I've ever played. Actually, this IS the most moving game, or rather an experience, a powerful, wonderful experience. Episode 5 is absolutely brilliant, this is the best episode in the whole series, and The Walking Dead is one of the best games of 2012. Every minute is filled with action or emotions - both equally powerful. I have just finished the game and I don't know what to say. Maybe... Just two short words: play it.… Expand
Nov 23, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to agree with all of the "10" reviews. In fact, I agree with all of the "10" reviews about compelling story. It deserves to be a GOTY nominee for voice acting, storytelling, plot, depth, and all of the other literary and artistic aspects of video games - except as "game of the year". It isn't. And I wish that weren't true.
I'd be the first to tell you that I couldn't wait for the day I'd have traded some game play for story. But, watch out what you wish for, you might get it. The game became more compelling as it reached crescendos in episodes 3 and 4. Episode 5 was a huge letdown. And, unfortunately, the game play just isn't fun enough to overcome anything but a perfect story experience.
Frankly, I thought the season finale (now that we know they're approaching this as "seasons") was arrogant. You might be able to pull off that kind of ending if you're George Lucas, and this is the 4th installment of one of the most popular franchises in history... But, the Walking Dead is not that epic, or wide enough of a fan base to pull it off. It was certainly an homage to the comic series fans, but that excludes a lot of the rest of us - just looking for a great story AND a great game experience. It did both honorably, but not perfectly.… Expand
Jan 29, 2013While I love The Walking Dead: The Game, (epsidoes 2 and 5 specifically) there is no denying the technical flaws in the game. The story and dialogue are fantastically written and darkly enchanting to experience, and the ending is beautifully fulfilling of The Walking Dead style, but too many flaws in technical aspects begin to overshadow everything incredible about the experience of this game. If it was a Triple A release, it would be bordering on acceptable, but Telltale are a small company and should have ironed out the flaws before release.… Expand
Dec 11, 2012Outstanding! You should probably watch the show before getting into the game, but either way the plot and the gameplay are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!
Nov 23, 2012This game is just amazing... The story is brilliant. Playing from episode 1 and finally just now getting ep 5... This is a great ending to the series. I feel slightly cheated from how short this chapter is, but the story makes up for it. Would buy again!
Nov 26, 2012The final episode of the season is here, and it's a powerful one. It's emotional, tense, and depressing, and has some of the most interesting/cool choices to make. The puzzles and action take back seat and aren't really that prominent. This episode is more about reflecting on the choices you made as Lee and giving you intense and emotional moments. I am extremely proud to say that the glitches that have been in every episode so far are not here. I enjoyed the episode a lot but I am dissappointed with the ending of this episode, the screen just fades to black and your booted to the credits which you have to sit through in order to see a decent ending, but it's more of a "wait for season 2" ending that leaves a lot of unanswered questions about characters fates than a conclusion that will keep us satisfied until TellTale releases season 2. still it's one heck of an episode and just like always I can't wait to see what comes next. Bring on season 2.… Expand
Oct 19, 2013There is nothing to say about this Episode. Just go and play it. It is just a well deserved 10!
And with season two almost upon us. I cannot even wait to see what Telltale have in store for us!
Dec 22, 2012Even though this is the shortest of the series it is definitely the best. At the end you are confronted with just about every decision you have made. Although I didn't cry at the end I was very moved by the whole story.
Dec 2, 2012The most emotionally involving game I've ever played. The final chapter in this brilliant game is filled with reflection, guilt, anger, and despair. All of the game's shortcomings are completely wiped out by the amazing story and how damn effective it is at making you really care about the characters. Everyone owes it to themselves to play through the whole game. In a gaming world filled with mindless action, The Walking Dead really shows that games can be emotionally powerful. Let's hope this trend continues. This is Game of the Year for me. No other game EVER has made me tear up, or even come close. And this game did. 10 out of 10.… Expand
Nov 23, 2012The walking dead, turned out to be a really good game! The story kept me intrested in what was going to happen next. Technically, the graphics were great! The music was good at times too. I just wish they didnt have so much zombies moaning in the background sound. Overall at $19.99 on the PS3, this was a GREAT buy! Will buy the next Telltale Games product again! Great job.
Dec 5, 2012The series started a little bit on the slow side, and some of the characters were just too pointless, but, any mistake in plot or hiccup in the technical department is all but forgiven in episode 5. It's easily the most emotionally driven episode in the series, and the action and music involved is phenomenal for a game of its kind. I was a skeptic on this genre coming into it, but after finishing season 1, I simply can't wait for season 2. It'll have a lot to live up to from the season 1 finale.… Expand
Dec 22, 2012The highlight of the gaming year for me. Enjoyed every game in the series and was just blown away by the emotional impact it left me with at the end. While sad and grim, from a gaming experience, this was one of the best from a storytelling standpoint. A must play for everyone!
Jun 4, 2013The last Walking Dead episode, 4 of them great, but does this one live up to the other episode. Episode is the best episode by far! Its such a gripping exprience and a very emotional exprience. Totally recommend it! The Walking Dead: Episode 5 No Time Left 9.5/10.
Nov 21, 2012Unbelievable... Amazing... Say whatever the hell you want, this is the GOTY. Period. Best story ever, best characters ever, and most importantly, a shocking yet amazing conclusion. Im buying season 2 without hesitating.
Nov 22, 2012This game defines a generation. Beautiful, incredible, and moving. The Walking Dead Episode 5 not only tops all the other episodes but tops any game I have ever played. I spend 95% of my day watching movies and playing games. I have never cried until now. The Walking Dead is the most emotional game i'v ever played. Telltale has created one of the greatest games ever. When we move on to the coming years Telltale's The Walking Dead will be seen as the game that made history for interactive games and adventure games. If you don't play this game you are missing out on one of the greatest gaming experiences ever. So go download this game now. Oh, and don't forget those tissues! Trust me, you'll need them.… Expand
Nov 28, 2012This is the best game this year!!! And beats a lot of other games out there, it is nothing like you played before its so unique in its own different way. Perfect score for me, an absolute MASTERPIECE!!! Its Game of the Year for sure.
Dec 14, 2012Game of the Year, has undoubtedly been the best in the story mode as you take your own decisions. An epic finale and confusing, but do not explain how Clementine left town. So medium graphics quality resemble a comic drawing and unlike other zombie games this does reflect what would happen in real life as alteration, worry and fear.
Dec 20, 2012This game! Ohhh this game! What can be said about it that hasn't already been said? This game not only surpasses the television show (which I love btw) in awesomeness, it surpasses almost every other video game out there right now in awesomeness. Can't wait until the new ones start coming out next year. And i'll admit it, I cried like a freaking baby at the end.
Jan 20, 2013the game is amaizing, but they could do better like adding multiple endings.
all the choices and headache, blood and tears, left or right, live or die, coffee or tea, but no matter what you do or choose the ending will remain the same.
Mar 21, 2014Compared to the other episodes this one is the shortest. However, it is arguably the best of the bunch. Where they shortened the length they increased the number of choices and better polished the impact those choices had on your story. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll keep it vague but they pay tribute to the other episodes and the other decisions you've made, bringing everything together to give you a wider perspective of the world the story takes place in. It was very unexpected how they went about this episode. It was also really well done and arguably this is a good ending/beginning :)
I enjoyed this series more than I thought I would. After playing the demo and being less than impressed....I picked up episode 1 when it became free and even at the end of that I wasn't completely convinced. But, I decided to give it a chance and although it isn't deserving of game of the year (like alot of reviewers have said) it is definitely worth your time to play it. I picked up season 1 on sale for basically 10$ CDN (all 5 episodes and 400 days). For that price I have little beef recommending this to someone to try. Some will like it, some will hate it. Season 1 is selling for 20$ CDN on psp right now. I'm sure in the future it will go on sale again. For $10 I'd say pick it up, take the risk, and try it. For 20$ it might be worth reading a review or two to get an idea of what you are buying (as is with most games), but if you understand this is a story-teller based game I doubt you will regret your purchase.
I'm looking forward to buying season 2. It WAS on sale a few weeks ago....but I missed out. Bad on me. I'll probably wait for it to go on sale before picking up a season pass, but that's just how I do things. Hopefully some of my reviews were helpful for any skeptics.… Expand
Jan 10, 2013An emotive gut punch that takes rusty shears to the heartstrings. [Jan 2013, p.111]
Jan 8, 2013There's a ton of dialogue to be heard and choices to made and even though they won't impact the story all that much – it has a fixed ending – The Walking Dead's story shines and delivers one of the best game-endings we've ever seen. And that's all what matters here. [January 2013, p.96]
Nov 27, 2012We've gotten quite emotionally invested into the characters of this great videogame series and now Telltale delivers a worthy pay-off. You won't forget this anytime soon, we promise - and neither will you regret a purchase.

text: Palin Slams CNN for 'Crossfire' Hypocrisy Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 8 Apr 2013 post a comment In a Facebook note on Sunday, former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin blasted CNN for the network's hypocrisy in potentially bringing back a show called Crossfire just two years after the network falsely implied Palin's "crossfire" icons on a map that "targeted" pro-Obamacare Representatives were responsible for the attempted murder of former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ). CNN is reportedly going to bring back Crossfire, the debate show the network canceled in June 2005. "Wasn't CNN among those who issued blistering criticism about the use of a 'crossfire' icon in 2010 to represent political districts we wished to see represented by commonsense conservatives?" Palin asked. On the night Giffords was shot on January 8, 2011, CNN, without any evidence whatsoever in a segment the network would later come to regret, implied Palin's 2010 map played a role in inciting the violence. They discussed how Palin's use of the phrase, "don't retreat, reload," may have also created an environment that made the shooting possible. As Palin noted, "CNN, among others, implied that using a 'crossfire' icon (which was a tactic first employed by Democrats to illustrate political maps of districts they 'targeted' to win) was inciting violence." CNN, along with other mainstream media networks, refused to acknowledge all the examples of Democrats having used "crossfire" icons to "target" districts while rushing to link Palin to the attempted murder of Giffords and the murder of six others. Anchor Wolf Blitzer, along with television personalities Gloria Borger and Jessica Yellin, noted there was no evidence that the shooter, Jared Loughner, was motivated by opposition to Obamacare or misinterpreted Palin's Facebook post in support of conservative candidates who would fight against Obamacare in 2010. That did not stop CNN from essentially linking Palin to the attempted murder in one of the most irresponsible segments in recent memory. Jared Loughner, who shot 18 people, killing six, while attempting to murder Giffords, was proven not to have any political leanings, and actually spoke to Giffords at a town hall event years before he attempted to kill her. Evidence would later reveal that Loughner, contrary to CNN's initial implications, was in no way influenced by Tea Partiers, conservative media, or Palin.

Ultimate Spider-Man
back to reviews
Ultimate Spider-Man
episode/issue review by
Episode 8 Got Me In
I got into this series because I saw episode eight "Back in Black", which I'm going to talk about, so Spoilers!
I turned on the TV and saw the last seven minutes of the episode (I didn't even know the show was airing yet—oops). I proceeded to have much fangirling over the idea that Harry Osborn was Venom. Why?
1—The "Traditional" Venom storyline, with the suit being possessive of Peter like a jealous girlfriend,
isn't that old itself
—it was in the 90s series (the original comics storyline had Pete as a bit of a jerk to it). Having it want to kill him because it was made to is interesting. Having it made from
his DNA
? Even more interesting.
2—I LOVE this version of Harry, even more so as I watched more episodes. He reminds me of 90s-show Harry before the
Sanity Slippage
. He's someone you can genuinely say is Peter's
best friend.
That's why they made Eddie so close to Peter in
The Spectacular Spider Man
, so it would hurt more. Guess what? it's likely going to keep hurting here too, since the symbiote survived.
3—Norman and Harry's relationship. I don't mind the abusive Norman from the comics, since it's been built up over the years (though the bike story from Harry's childhood...that's just
), but it's nice to see one who does care about Harry, though he's still not paying attention to him. It gives us a reason Harry
to impress his dad. Plus it leaves you wondering when Norman
cross over into
Complete Monster
territory (as he usually does).
4—It's like the Hobgoblin storyline in the Ultimate comics, which they couldn't do straight up without Norman being the Goblin first, which would take too long. See, IMO, that storyline ended
too soon. Wow, Harry's the Hobgoblin, he fights Peter, ends up in SHIELD's custody, who get him to piss off his dad so they can catch him, Harry dies. He just
. His story arc ends there.
This new twist gives us a lot of opportunities. For example, Harry's symbiote is the original, so how will it react to Doc Ock's new ones? Can Harry influence the symbiote like his son did in
Spider Girl
Will we have a Harry who gets something resembling a happy ending?
What will push Norman over the deep end? Will Peter ever have to tell anyone who Venom really is? Let's stay tuned to find out!
Ah yes. Funny thing about this episode is that the initial buildup of Harry Venom was that he was masquerading as the black suit spiderman, and told peter about it. It's even from here we get a counter to the classic
With Great Power
Comes Great Responsibility
, as Harry mentions how his father says that "With great power comes great reward." That's technically true if you think about it, and it also gives a nice extra push on why harry is doing this. In addition, Harry actually slowly loses control of the symbiote, as it is, "distilled aggression". This twist is different, and it allows for a simplification of characters when this show is built on guest spots, as well as continuing to build up one of the few story arcs for this series.

Structural and Acoustic Analysis of Multiactuator Panels
Multiactuator panels are a possible solution to satisfying the requirement of a large number of loudspeaker channels inherent in wavefield synthesis. The structural acoustic behavior of multiactuator panels has been measured with a laser Doppler vibrometer, and acoustic radiation simulation has been performed using a discretized Rayleigh I integral. The analysis showed that, due to large structural damping, the acoustic radiation is generated almost entirely by the structural near field around the excitation point on the panel, but it is influenced to a large extent by the panel dimensions and the exciter position. The radiation principle of a distributed-mode loudspeaker from the literature is briefly contrasted.

Repairs have been complete and MnDOT traffic maps are active once again. The service and www.511mn.org went live just after 7 a.m. Wednesday. The site includes listinigs of accidents, hazards and road work, cameras that show traffic conditions and a color-coded map showing current traffic conditions.
Here is the original post about the crash
Motorists who have attempted to get travel information from the Minnesota Department of Transportation's travel information web site might have noticed that traffic maps have been green for the past few days and no information about accidents or delays has been posted.
That's because central servers that host the information accessed by the public crashed over the weekend. MnDOT spokesperson Kelly Kennedy Braunig said all the hard drives will have to be restored and repairs might not be completed until late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
"It isn't the work of a hacker, however, we are going to investigate to determine what happened," said spokesman Kent Barnard.
For many, the travel information site is the place to check traffic conditions. The site includes a map with color-coded traffic conditions and lists incidents such as accidents, road work and hazards on the roads. The link that includes a map with cameras that show road conditions is still functioning.
Until it's fixed, Kennedy Braunig said motorists can check conditions on a companiion site, www.511mn.org. But that page, too, might not display properly until all repairs are made.

Well... I can't say I've ever experienced it before (although I know a few who have) and to be honest no-one is really in any position to be able to tell you if it feels good to you other than you. Some people like it and others don't. If you think having something up there will feel good then there you have it but on the other hand if the idea doesn't appeal or you do like it then, again, you have your answer. At the end of the day only you can answer that question for yourself.
Yes it is possible to orgasm through anal sex although I was told it required a little more stimulation (of the clit) for those I know who had an argasm through anal sex. Anal sex alone for them didn't do anything. The only reason most guys like anal sex is becuase the muscles of the anus are really strong so guys tend to get a really nice feeling through anal sex. It seems to really be the only reason any guy likes it.
It can be harmful, yes. Having anal sex then having vaginal sex straight after (without cleaning up first) is certainly not recommended because of the number of bacteria that can be transmitted that way from your anus to the vagina. Anal sex is also more dangerous than anal sex (when it comes to being safe). The tissues of the anus are very thin and can therefore very easily be torn or damaged during anal sex. even light injuries can lead to any number of bacteria, virus and infections. If you really do have to have anal sex protection is obviously a very good idea as well as a very good lubricant. The anus, unlike the vagina, will not lubricate itself therefore you and your partner have to do this part yourself to ensure you are protected. Not only will it help with the pain to a certain extent but it will also slightly reduce the risk of damage although I want to be very clear when I say just using lubricant will not guarantee that you're safe from any damage from anal sex as this is not the case at all.
Hope that helped.

Jennifer Garner 'Furious' Ben Affleck Keeps In Touch With Jennifer Lopez?
By Michael Lewittes | 5:29 pm, October 25th, 2012
Jennifer Garner flew into a "jealous rage" after Ben Affleck revealed in an interview that he still keeps in touch with his ex-fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, reports the National Enquirer.
The supermarket tabloid claims Garner was "furious that he'd gushed over her love rival."
"Love rival"?
Affleck and Lopez dated nearly a decade ago, and have both since married and had children with other people!
Anyway, a so-called "source" for the mag alleges, "After Jen read Ben's glowing comments about Jennifer, she hit the roof."
The purported "insider" adds, "She screamed at him that he'd made her look like a fool."
RELATED – CLAIM: Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner Fighting Over Jennifer Lopez Casting
"Jen's always felt threatened by Ben's passionate relationship with J.Lo. So hearing him rave about her really struck a nerve," explains the source.
Garner was supposedly so insecure about her husband's friendship with Lopez that she "secretly arranged" for her mother to babysit the couple's three kids so she could join him on his Paris trip to promote Argo.
The source claims, "Ben thought he was heading to Paris solo until he saw Jen's bags at the door."
None of this ever happened.
Garner was already fully aware that Affleck and Lopez keep in touch, long before he mentioned it in the interview.
There's no actual drama here, even though the tabloids wish there were.
A source close to the situation calls the Enquirer story "a joke."

The National Retail Federation welcomed today's announcement that the Federal Trade Commission plans to investigate patent trolls.
"Patent trolls are a drain on the economy," NRF SVP and general counsel Mallory Duncan said. "It's time for Washington to put an end to this abuse of our nation's laws. Seeing this issue receive top-level attention from the FTC is a significant development."
"The way in which your company disposes of sensitive information can have significant consequences on your business," said Al Saikali, an attorney and co-chair of Shook Hardy & Bacon's Data Security and Data Privacy Practice Group, based in Miami.
Accuracy of background-check-report information and greater scrutiny of the screening industry are the No. 1 trend for 2013, said attorney and background-check expert Lester Rosen.
The year 2012 brought numerous headlines about data breaches from organizations nationwide. Common threats to business data include intruders hacking into a computer system or network, remotely installed malware, lost or stolen laptops or data storage devices, insider threats, accidents and natural disasters.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a revised set of green guidelines designed to help marketers ensure the truthfulness of their claims about the environmental attributes of their products. The updates to the existing "Green Guides" include new sections on the use of carbon offsets, green certifications and seals, and renewable energy and renewable materials.
Sherwin-Williams and PPG Architectural Coatings, two of the industry's leading paint manufacturers, have agreed to settle a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charge that they misled consumers to believe that some of their paints are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Marketers of consumer products touting various environmental-benefit claims finally have some closure on how to approach green advertising without running afoul of the Federal Trade Commission, said LeClairRyan partner and 17-year FTC veteran Thomas A. Cohn during an Oct. 12 business-law conference.
A new Georgia law effective July 1 provides that people who are parties to franchise agreements are not to be considered employees for purposes of workers' compensation benefits. The legislation essentially protects franchisors from comp claims by franchisees.
The new law covers individuals "who are parties to a franchise agreement as set out by the Federal Trade Commission franchise disclosure rule, and deems that the relationship between franchisors and franchisees is governed by the rules of contract law, not those of employment law.
ForestEthics, a hard-hitting environmental group that is running a campaign to protect endangered forests, has kept the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) organization in its crosshairs for the last several years. The forest industry's largest certification program for wood products even has its own tab on the ForestEthics Web page: Viewers can click on "Stop SFI GreenWash" and read a critique of the group's certification process, its membership, its nonprofit status and even its logo.
An organization that called itself "Tested Green" -- and claimed to certify green products for as much as $549.95 -- was put out of business by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the agency has announced.
More than 100 customers paid various fees to have their products endorsed by Tested Green between February 2009 and April 2010, according to the FTC. Owner Jeremy Ryan Claeys claimed that the testing labs were independent, when in fact he owned the operations.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- A December sentencing has been scheduled for a woman who posed naked on a Lincoln Catholic high school campus.
Online court records say the 19-year-old was found guilty of trespassing and public nudity after a nonjury trial before Judge Thomas Fox.
He set her sentencing for Dec. 20.
Prosecutors say the teen made various poses on the football field at Lincoln Pius X in May and then posted the photos on her adult website.
Her manager said the pictures weren't just for publicity, they were done to retaliate against the church because of how people have treated her. According to her website she posed at every Catholic Church in Lincoln. Police only cited her for posing at two churches.
The images are more graphic and include poses with statues.
Officials for the church are aware of the images and are disappointed. J.D. Flynn, the Communications Director for the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln, said, "Very honestly this is a sad story, this is a young woman who has gone down a dangerous path. Pornography isn't harmless for the user or those involved in it."

More info about us and the location: Zog House holiday let is owned by Gus and Patti Zogolovitch. We built this house ourselves and live in a self-contained maisonette upstairs with our young children so if there are any problems with your stay, we will be there to help.
We are a mine of information. Gus has lived in London his entire life except for his long periods of travelling. He speaks Spanish, Indonesian and some French. Patti is Australian and speaks Italian. We have been to many other self-catered apartments and will try as hard as possible to make your stay comfortable.

You never know, you may also bump into one of the many celebrities that live in the area - Daniel Craig, Sienna Miller, Lily Allen or Jade Jagger to name but a few.
If you do want to do the attractions - the brilliant thing is that they are all just a few stops on the tube or the overland.
Why pay for some tiny hotel room in the noisy part of town when you can come here for the real London at only 20 minutes away on the tube?
Here's what our last tenant said about us: I came to stay at the flat with the idea that I would stay a few short months and ended up staying a year and a half. This is a lovely flat in a fantastic location. It is spacious enough to feel like a 'proper' home rather than a crash pad and has everything you could want from a 'home from home' - great kitchen with nice touches such as self closing drawers and more than enough room to cook. The bathroom is ultra modern with a shower to kill for - no tricklely showers here! The bedroom is spacious and has enough storage space to keep the most avid fashion collector happy. It also has a super comfy bed with an extra long mattress. Both the sitting area and bedroom benefit from the most gorgeous full length wide patio doors that lead out on to a small sun terrace that captures the sun beautifully, and the under floor heating will warm your toes in the winter. All in all a great flat in a fantastic location with friendly lovely people who will ensure that your stay is perfect.

That's exactly it. Don't act like I am bitter when I had no problem with Hossa leaving and would have enjoyed having him stay on the team, especially last year.
And I wouldn't consider it a homer bias if I had said these same things when Hossa was here (which I did) and am more of a fan of Hossa than I am Datsyuk (which I am).
Significantly better? The guy has done significantly WORSE.
Because I judge Datsyuk as an elite all around player and not just a playmaker. Unless you disagree and consider Hossa to be primarily an assist man?
And when it comes down to it Hossa does worse when it comes to producing goals, the thing that he was supposed to do on Detroit as a WINGER. The last two years he was solid defensively but was not a great offensive contributor. Datsyuk in 09 was not having a good year (funny how you ignore that I mention that) offensively but did very well on a struggling Detroit team in the playoffs.
1. There is a difference between bias and bitterness. You can argue bias with me but don't say "oh you are bitter" without anything to show for it, especially when there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
2. I never said Hossa was a choker, just a weaker playoff player than Datsyuk. And especially weaker than Franzen, the man who Holland essentially picked in front of him. Money well spent in my opinion.
No one is disputing that, but I don't see how that will help when Hossa is having trouble scoring goals in the playoffs. Especially with a team that relied soley on its depth to win the cup in the first place.
Well, I'm not going to dig through all your old posts to nail down your every opinion. Your comments (and the other comments from other posters) that I was responding to in this thread strike me as biased and bitter. I'm sorry if that offends you. I guess I expect someone accumstomed to the internet to show a little thicker skin. Oh well.
And to clarify some points:
You mentioned that Hossa had only once scored more than .5 gpg in the playoffs. My repsonse was that that is an unfair standard. It is unfair because for one .5 gpg is significantly higher than his career regular-season average of .436, and also because it completely ignores his other contributions. My comment on Datsyuk's assists was an example of how you were unfairly judging Hossa. Hossa, like Datsyuk, is an elite all-around player. He does more, much more, than just score goals.
And I didn't ignore your comment on Datsyuk performance in '09. I only bothered to address it indirectly because you also added an excuse for it immediately after the comment. It seems you cannot say anything bad about Datsyuk without immediately following up with a mitigating compliment or excuse, and cannot say anything good about Hossa without a follow-up criticism. Now that it seems that isn't working out, you take the argument further afield by bringing up Franzen...for what purpose beyond criticizing Hossa?
'Bitterness' does not necessarily mean you wanted him to stay. That can also stem from blaming him for our loss in the Finals. Or it could just mean an extra bias against him for choosing Chicago, or just being a former Wing, even if you accept that it wasn't feasible to keep him. I think there is plenty of evidence that you an others in this thread are judging Hossa by a notably specific standard in order to purposefully paint him as negatively as you can. To me, it seems a bit more than simple bias. Motivated bias I would say. Again, sorry if that offends you.
And one more time I'll say that I was not comparing Datsyuk and Hossa. I agree that Datsyuk is a better player. The point was that Datsyuk does not score as well in the playoffs as he does in the regular season. Someone was suggesting that Hossa was not a very valuable player because his scoring drops in the playoffs. I contend that that is no more true than it is in regards to Datsyuk, who ,statistically, struggles even more in the scoring department. So someone did indeed dispute Hossa's value, stating something to effect of 'Kane-Toews and not much else' and dismissing Hossa's value pretty much entirely. That's how this debate got started in the first place.
But I do notice once again your inability to allow something that might reflect favorably on Hossa to pass without an associated criticism. Yeah, you obviously don't have anything against the guy.

My earlier post with a sermon on five steps to carbon sobriety fell flat and attracted no comments. I promised a wonkish follow-up on the underlying principles. A small ethical problem: is a promise made to the empty air still binding? Bentham would no doubt have said no, Kant yes. I've written the thing anyway, so, any gentle readers, here it is.
I won't defend the particular numbers I gave; they are only relevant to my family's particular circumstances.
I A collective action problem – but what sort?
Carbon reduction is usually discussed here as a collective-action problem.
