TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas residents could carry loaded handguns in their vehicles under a bill that's cleared a state House committee.
The Federal and State Affairs expanded gun-rights legislation Wednesday before approving it. The committee's unanimous voice vote sends the measure to the House for debate, as early as next week.
The bill voids existing local gun ordinances throughout Kansas and will ensure that the open carrying of firearms is allowed statewide and bar cities and counties from regulating sales of guns and ammunition.
It would also prohibit cities and counties from using tax revenue to administer gun buyback programs.
Local government groups oppose the bill, saying city and county officials know their communities best.
The committee postponed a vote last week to review potential amendments.

- "Wake up, John."— Official tagline
Halo 4 is the seventh installment of the best-selling Halo franchise. The game was developed by 343 Industries, a Microsoft owned internal development studio established for the purpose of creating new properties for the Halo series. Halo 4 is the first game in the Reclaimer Saga,[6] and is the sequel to Halo 3.
On September 26, 2012, Halo 4 had "gone gold,"[7] meaning all development of the game had been completed and mass manufacturing had begun.[8] Halo 4 was released on November 6, 2012[1][2][3] in all countries except Japan where it was released on November 8, 2012.[9] It is also available from Games on Demand for Xbox Live.
Along with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 3, Halo 4 was released on Xbox One as part of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection on November 11, 2014.
E3 Expo 2011
- Main article: Awakening
Halo 4 was first revealed on Microsoft's homepage hours before the start of their E3 press conference,[10] alongside Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary due to a mistake by the editing department. The game was then officially announced at the end of Microsoft's E3 2011 press conference[11][12] with a short teaser trailer entitled "Awakening".
E3 Expo 2012
Details on Halo 4 were further expanded on in the 2012 E3 Expo where Microsoft's E3 press conference revealed more about Halo 4's game-play. It was here where the new enemies were revealed to be Promethean AIs, and the return of the Covenant was officially confirmed. Several minutes of game-play and multiple preview clips of the campaign were shown before the trailer ended with a cryptic message from an "unknown evil".
Information on Halo 4's campaign was purposefully kept to a minimum in order to maintain high anticipation for the game. In the August 22, 2012 Halo Bulletin on Halo Waypoint, it was confirmed that the game would feature about eight campaign missions.[13]
|"Catherine Halsey is interrogated deep within a secret ONI facility." (Cutscene)
|"After four years adrift in space, Cortana awakens John-117 to investigate a disturbance on the Forward Unto Dawn."
|"Having survived the destruction of the Dawn, Master Chief and Cortana search for a way off of the mysterious Forerunner planet."
|"Master Chief tracks the Infinity's signal to Requiem's core in the hopes of returning Cortana to Earth to address her rampancy."
|"Following the Didact to Infinity's crash site, Chief and Cortana descend into the surrounding swamp to rescue UNSC survivors."
|"Infinity sends the Master Chief and Gypsy Company to neutralize the gravity well keeping them on Requiem."
|"As Infinity flees Requiem and Cortana's rampancy worsens, Master Chief struggles to stop Didact from pursuing the Composer."
|"The Master Chief's pursuit of the Didact leads him to a UNSC science station orbiting Installation 03."
|"With the Composer in the Didact's possession, Chief and Cortana must destroy the device before he turns it on his next target."
|"After the destruction of New Phoenix, and the death of Cortana, Master Chief must carry on." (Cutscene)
Four years, seven months, and ten days after the events of Halo 3, a mysterious energy passes through the aft section of UNSC Forward Unto Dawn. Cortana activates John-117's cryopod as an unknown assailant boards the ship. After progressing through part of the ship the assailant turns out to be the Covenant, to which Cortana expresses concern as she believed that humanity had a cease fire with the Sangheili. As John-117 fights his way through the Covenant boarders, it is revealed that it isn't one rogue Covenant ship on a salvage operation, but an entire fleet orbiting a Forerunner world. Cortana notices the nearest cruiser has it's shields down and suggests firing a tactical nuke at it. Immediately after the cruiser is destroyed, a passage into the planet opens and activates a gravity well that begins to pull every ship in. The already weakened Forward Unto Dawn starts to disintegrate as it passes into the planet. While making their way to the escape pods, Cortana starts acting erratically. However upon reaching the pods, a Covenant cruiser collides with the Dawn, tearing through the escape pods. The hull breach sucks the Spartan outside just as the wreckage passes through.
John-117 awakens to find himself inside the planet. Cortana reveals her behavioral problem is due to her going into the first stages of Rampancy. John-117 suggests trying to find a ship back to Earth to see if Dr. Halsey, Cortana's creator, can fix her condition. Eventually they fight their way through Covenant forces to a localized Cartographer. Cortana says that the only intel she can get is that their location is a shield world called Requiem. She also receives a signal from an unknown source that is definitely "not Covenant" in origin, and suggests looking for the signal. They find that the mysterious signal is being bounced off of a tower near the planet's core, Cortana opens a portal as close as possible to the core just as a large number of a new type of foe appears.
After being teleported closer to the signal it is revealed the signal is from UNSC Infinity asking for help. A satellite near the center of the planet is blocking the signal, where two jamming towers are boosting the signal blocking device's power. Cortana suggests taking these jamming towers down to receive the whole signal. After defeating several groups of the unknown enemy, the only intelligence Cortana is able to get on them is the word "Promethean", and that they appear to be more advanced combat AIs than Sentinels. After taking down the first tower it is revealed the Covenant is very interested in finding something inside the core. After the second tower is downed the full signal of the Infinity is received. After discovering the ship is going to enter the planet, Cortana attempts to warn them away but is still unable to get through. Fighting their way to the center of the Satellite the pair discover a spherical object - the source of the signal. After attempting to stop the signal the sphere comes close to John's location where part of the sphere comes out of the bottom. A sole figure is seen on a pedestal. The unknown figure reveals himself to be The Didact, and handily defeats John-117 before declaring that his people, The Forerunners themselves, are returning to the Galaxy after thousands of years, and he remarks on how Humanity must still be weak, as the Covenant do not answer to Humanity and therefore are still unworthy of the Mantle.
John manages to escape the Didact and makes his way to Infinity, which had entered the planet. The Didact also heads for Infinity. After fighting off many Prometheans and Covenant, who have joined forces, he finds Commander Thomas Lasky, Spartan Commander Palmer and scattered groups of Marines. Chief clears an LZ for a Pelican to pick them up, and is transported to Infinity, where he fights off waves of Covenant. Then, he is introduced to Captain Andrew Del Rio and Commander Palmer. Palmer, Lasky, and John are sent on a mission to allow Infinity to escape Requiem, and are given a Mammoth. After destroying many Covenant vehicles, including a Lich, the mission brings John inside what is assumed to be a trap. It turns out not to be when John and Cortana are separately taken by the Librarian, who explains that the Prometheans were once Humans, and how the Didact is looking to escape Requiem and find the Composer, which he plans to turn on humanity. She helps to accelerate Chief's 'evolution' so that he can survive the Composer. Once John and Cortana are reunited, they proceed outside of the Forerunner structures, where they attempt (and fail) to destroy the Didact. They are returned to Infinity, where Del Rio gives the command to leave Requiem; stating that they should return to Earth and inform FLEETCOM about what had occurred. Cortana and John attempt to convince him otherwise, but the Captain orders that Cortana be decommissioned due to rampancy. Upon Chief's refusal to hand her over, he orders both Palmer and Lasky to arrest him, but neither of them move. With Lasky's assistance, John escapes Infinity before it leaves and attempts to destroy the Didact once and for all. However, he is unsuccessful, and boards a Lich to follow the Didact into slipspace.
He, along with The Didact and a Covenant fleet, arrive at Halo Installation 03, where the Covenant under the Didact's control immediately attack the UNSC science facility orbiting the Halo, that housed the Composer. After fighting his way inside, John argues with some professors there and grabs a HAVOK bomb to attempt to destroy the Composer. Unfortunately, he is too late, and the Composer is fired and kills all on the base aside from him. He takes a Broadsword to follow the Didact to Earth, where he is assisted by Infinity, which is now controlled by Commander Lasky, in getting inside. There, the Didact fires the Composer, and extermination of Humanity begins in New Phoenix. In order to bring down the Didact's shields, Cortana clones her rampant personalities to overload the system. John places her chip in a holopedestal, but it is destroyed, and she is brought into the Composer's system. She manages to weakly communicate with John before assisting him in killing the Didact and destroying the Composer. She uses the last of her energy to form herself into a visible form and touches John for the first and last time. She dies right before the Composer collapses around them. John is found amongst the space debris by a Pelican. Talking with John, Commander Lasky echoes a statement Cortana once made to John regarding the humanity of soldiers. John is seen on Infinity's Spartan deck, having his armor removed.
Halo 4's multiplayer capabilities were explored extensively in the gradual build up to its release on November 6th. Unlike Halo: Reach, multiplayer maps featured in Halo 4 are not based upon campaign levels, but instead were designed from the ground-up, like the other games, with competitive gameplay in mind. Gameplay features a customizable load-out and the return of Armor Abilities[14]
War Games
- Main article: War Games
To link online competitive multiplayer matchmaking to in-game fiction, it has been coined War Games by 343 Industries. War Games are held on vast simulated training grounds for SPARTAN-IVs as part of their preparation for Spartan Ops missions, which take place 6 months after the conclusion of the campaign.[14] These simulations are hosted inside UNSC Infinity and allow players to take control of virtual SPARTAN-IV characters and battle in a realistic environment.
Players are also be able to customize their SPARTAN-IV characters with a variety of different armors and can change the gender at any time. In addition to this, players also have access to Specializations, a set of eight unique armor enhancements that bring combat benefits to the players who use them, such as increased vehicle handling or resistance to EMP blasts.[15]
A major addition to the customization of characters in Halo 4 is the new custom loadouts, allowing players to edit their loadout before games to a much greater degree than that in Halo: Reach. As a player progresses through the ranks, they will unlock additional loadout slots.
Customizable loadout options:
- Primary Weapon
- Secondary Weapon
- Grenade
- Armor Ability
- Tactical Package
- Support Upgrade
Ordnance Drops
- Main article: Ordnance (Multiplayer)
To encourage dynamic movement of games and prevent players camping at weapon respawn points, Halo 4 features ordnance drops in matches. Random Ordnance randomly drops weapons, grenades, or power-ups on the map for anyone to use, and Personal Ordnance gives each player a choice of power-ups or weapons which can be earned via performance during a game.
Game Types
- Main article: War Games
Along with the announcement of War Games and its included features, several returning and new game types were announced. Game types confirmed by 343 Industries that are featured in Halo 4's multiplayer have been listed:

Crimson map pack
Majestic map pack

Champions Bundle (Bullseye Pack)
Spartan Ops
- Main article: Spartan Ops
With the announcement that Firefight will not be included in Halo 4's gameplay, 343 Industries announced that they have replaced it with a new episodic co-op series called "Spartan Ops". Spartan Ops features weekly releases of missions on Halo Waypoint that are free to download and will follow the story of SPARTAN-IVs as they complete vital missions on Requiem six months after the conclusion of the campaign.[14] Season 1 includes ten episodes with five missions each for a total of fifty missions.
- Main article: Forge
Forge returns in Halo 4 with vast improvements to that of Halo: Reach's Forge mode. These improvements include dynamic lighting (to create more realistic forged environments), more forge items, magnetic linking of objects (to ease attachment), and three Forge-centric maps, each with a different terrain and forge pallets.[20] A new Forge map was announced at PAX 2013 named "Forge Island" which will have a series of flat spaces.[21]
These three Forge maps were made available upon release:
Another Forge map was released in March 2013:

Forward Unto Dawn
- Main article: Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn
Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is a live-action webseries that debuted on Machinima Prime from October 5, 2012 until the release of Halo 4 on November 6th, 2012. Aside from marketing Halo 4, the goal of the webseries is to introduce the franchise to people unfamiliar with the games. 343 Industries franchise business management director, Matt McCloskey, said to Variety: "make Halo accessible for people who haven't played the games."
Halo 4 received generally positive reviews upon its release. On aggregate review GameRankings and Metacritic, the game holds scores of 87.42% and 87 out of 100 respectively. Ryan McCaffrey of IGN gave a score of 9.8, calling Halo 4 "a bar-raising triumph for the entire first-person shooter genre." The lighting, movements, and animations were well-praised, as well as Neil Davidge's work as the composer for Halo 4, noting it as a "bold shift," but stating that the music is "complementary rather than additive." McCaffrey lauded the campaign for its pacing, as well as "deftly mixing on-foot combat, vehicle sequences, quiet story moments, and key Chief-and-Cortana interactions."
Forbes writer Erik Kain gave high praise to the story, writing that Halo 4 had the "most stunning cutscenes I've seen in a video game" contributing to a "beautiful, tragic love story" between Cortana and Master Chief. Mike Mahardy of Game Informer complimented the characterization improvements of Chief and Cortana, calling their evolved love story more "focused" and "relatable" to the player, in comparison to the "cloudy and impersonal" stories from the prior games of the franchise. Despite high sales and good reviews Halo 4's multiplayer population has been declining rapidly since its release date all the way through 2013 with daily peaks barely reaching over 30,000.[59]

- Like Halo: Reach, Halo 4 is rated M for Blood and Violence.
- However, the German USK rated Halo 4 "16+" when Halo: Reach was rated "18+".
- In the Prologue cutscene, the Sangheili seem to wear Storm armor, and the Spartans wear armor similar John-117's current armor. This could have been a reason to show-off Halo 4's graphics.
- Halo 4 is the first Halo game to have less than 10 missions.
- Halo 4 is the third Halo game to not feature Marines at the first mission, with Halo 3: ODST being the first and Halo: Reach being the second. (though technically ODST's are in the Marine Corps)
- In the first trailer, John is seen using his helmet's flashlight, which can't be activated in the actual game.
- Halo 4 is the last main Halo game to be released on the Xbox 360.

- Halo 4 is the first Halo game to not feature some form of integrated lighting equipment (flashlight, night vision, VISR, etc.).
- Halo 4 is the first Halo game since Halo: Combat Evolved to have only Spartans in multiplayer.
- Halo 4 is very similar to Halo: Combat Evolved in storyline as the Master Chief wakes from cryo sleep on a boarded ship (Pillar of Autumn/Forward Unto Dawn) and crashes on a Forerunner Installation (Installation 04/Requiem) to awaken an Ancient Evil (the Flood/the Ur-Didact).
- Halo 4 is the first game in the series in which the player controls two different generations of Spartans; John-117, a Spartan-II, during the campaign, and Spartan-IVs, in all other game modes.
- With 12 Human weapons, 10 Covenant weapons, and 7 Forerunner weapons, all including grenades, (29 total) Halo 4 has the most weapons featured in the series.

Participants may come for the whole meeting or any portion that fits their schedule. Meditators can bring their own cushions or benches; chairs are available in the room. There is no cost to attend. Those new to Vipassana Meditation may want to read Basic Meditation Instructions by Sayadaw U Pandita as an example of how to enter this meditative path.
The core teachings behind Vipassana Meditation go back to the ancient Theravadan Buddhist traditions of 2,500 years ago and revolve around seeing things just as they are. Through systematic training in meditation, we create a space that allows us to see ourselves and our circumstances with clarity and wisdom. Meditators typically start by focusing on their breath. As they become more experienced, they begin to allow their attention to rest on other bodily sensations, or on the presence of emotions or thoughts. Though the practice of meditation is simple within itself, it builds into a powerful tool for learning to be present and engaged through the inevitable ups and downs in life.

QUESTION: Bob, I hunt in Bibb County, Alabama and have read several research studies on the subject of shooting spikes. Many biologists have differing viewpoints, but what are your personal thoughts on shooting spikes? Also, Are there any good current research papers on the subject? - S.H.
ANSWER: That's a particularly perceptive question, and I appreciate the fact you did a little research before asking.
Traditionally, there has been a strong sentiment that spikes are inferior and should be culled to promote better antler growth. We have since learned that's not always the case.
Some research indicates that yearling spikes are merely fawns born later than their peers, or born under conditions of poor nutrition. Given another year or two, they often equaled or exceeded their cohorts in terms of antler growth.
The general rule now is to let them go so they can grow. But there are exceptions to every rule, and Texas provides a prime example. Furthermore, results can vary considerably.
Texas Parks & Wildlife (TPW) researchers at the Kerr WMA study conceded that spike antlered yearlings do produce respectable antlers at maturity, but the majority of their resultant offspring will exhibit less than desirable antlers due to the heritability of heterozygous antler traits.
Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute (CKWRI), Texas A&M University (TAMU) and TPW conducted a 10-year culling study (2006-2010) at the Comanche Ranch where they found no statistically significant difference in average antler score for various categories of cull bucks. They also found spring rainfall has a much greater influence.
TAMU, CKWRI and King Ranch researchers found the amount of rainfall and supplemental feed significantly influenced antler growth.
In a TPW study at Chaparral WMA, antler restrictions were implemented to encourage hunters to harvest spikes and mature bucks with less than eight points.
Researchers observed a trend of decreasing inside spread in mature bucks while the average antler score remained stable.
A cooperative study by CKWRI and researchers from the Faith and Comanche Ranch determined supplemental feeding decreased the probability of spike-antlered yearling males in enclosures.
Ultimately, it comes down to local conditions and specific management objectives.
An interesting side note comes from TPW implementation of antler point restrictions in the Post Oak Savannah region of southeast Texas, where the overriding goals were to improve the age structure of bucks and increase hunting opportunity.
They initially implemented a slot limit where a legal buck had one unbranched antler, or a minimum 13-inch inside spread or at least six points on one side.
Results were favorable with regard to improved age structure, but hunters were not taking spike bucks, presumably because they didn't want to burn their tag, especially in light of the improved antler quality and availability of mature bucks.
As a result, TPW considered allowing hunters to take two bucks, one of which must have one unbranched antler.
This, they felt would encourage hunters to spend more time afield, and potentially encourage greater participation from younger hunters.

Nicholas Walter
Interactive Marketing Manager, UBM Electronics, 28-years-old
In February of 2011, a newly created position emerged at UBM Electronics: interactive marketing manager, which was filled by 28-year-old Nicholas Walter.
Walter is responsible for out-bound marketing for EETimes.com, EBNOnline.com, Datasheets.com and EE Times Confidential. Not only does Walter spend a lot of time with UBM's suite of analytics tools and social monitoring solutions, he more importantly measures the pulse of UBM's audience of engineers across the globe.
Walter joined UBM in 2009 as an e-mail marketing and creative specialist. Today, he has overseen projects such as the launch of EBNOnline.com and Datasheets.com, which debuted with 85,000 page views in its first month. EBNOnline.com has seen a 150 percent increase in page views in the past year.
"EBNOnline.com is a re-launch and re-envisioning of Electronic Buyer's News—one of the first publications to track the industry supply chain," Walter says. "Today it is an interactive community site for senior executives, procurement managers, financial analysts, and other professionals involved in managing supply chain activities."
Because EBN was a re-launch, Walter already had a good understanding of the audience and a strong foundation of users. "There was a heavy concentration of database marketing and optimization," he says. "I also spent a significant amount of time on SEO and optimizing content for news aggregators which really paid off."
Walter also led the marketing force for the launch of EE Times Confidential. "It's been an exciting challenge for me to work on a paid product," he says. "I managed all of the database marketing, designed e-mail templates and identified key lists. I was able to create personalized e-mails and messaging."
UBM Electronics has added more than 17,000 followers to its various social media accounts. For the largest brand, EE Times, social referrals increased from 1 percent of traffic to 10 percent of total traffic. EE Times social accounts have also seen a 465 percent increase in the number of followers in the last six months.

This morning on Vodafone's forums, a VF employee announced that the Froyo update for the HTC Desire would be rolling out on Monday. We knew it was coming soon - on August 12, we relayed that they expected it to roll out in 7-10 days - sans crapware. The update is rolling out a bit later than expected (August 23 would be 11 days) because they wanted to make sure they'd worked out all the kinks.
After Vodafone deployed an HTC Desire update last week that was full of crapware, customers responded with understandable anger. After initially standing firm on the crapware ("Vodafone 360"), Vodafone has now backed off and will remove it with the next update. The next update? Vanilla Froyo - and it's coming in 7-10 days.
The surprising thing here is that the update will apparently be an unmolested version of Android 2.2 - something they elected not to do with their Nexus One update.

Although this game does not have anything to do with the movies it is still a fun i mean very fun adventure. It is pretty short well there is what 6 maybe 7 worlds and about 20 levels in each one but yeah the controls are good and the graphics are well it's a wii game what do you think. The storyline is to find this staff of the kings I bet you can tell from the title LOL! But yeah I reccomend this game to Indiana Jones fans ONLY!
This game is absouletley, positively, Most serious game you an rent if you like Indiana Jones. Don't listen to the bad reveiws on how horrible it is if you are not an Indiana Jones fan you should proboaly listen but you know your choice if you are an Indidan Jones fan then yeah get this game it is worth the rent I am positive on this one and a lttle seret if you unlock or do one glory move they will mention what a glory move is in the game you can unlock the 1991 game called Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis. It is a old game and suppose to even be better than the staff of kings so tecniccaly 2 game in 1 WHOOOO GOOD DEAL!!!!!!!!!!
Please follow this reveiw this game deserves more credit than what it is getting by the people who rent this game come help this game be on of the best game eer rate it 10 or 9 or 8 no lower if you follow this review this game should at leas be 8. 9 or 7.9 or somethink thank you!!!1

Having said that, this game is the best one we've played so far on Wii. Both of us are happy with the way the Wii-mote responds for fighting, flying, and using Indy's trademark whip -- that's a big bunch of fun!
The atmosphere is good, the music is awesome, we love the voice acting, and it takes us back to all the fun we've had watching the Indiana Jones movies over the years.
As two mature adults that are not hardcore graphics gamers, we give this game an 8, and are seriously considering buying it. It is certainly worth renting to see what you think.
Suprised by the Low Ratings!

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is an platforming adventure game where you play as the fameous Dr. Jones. He is in a race to keep artifacts out of the hands of the bad guys.
But it's mostly you solving very simple puzzles and fighting off bad guys with your whip, gun and fists while going from point A to point B.
The puzzles are mostly "put this item here and that item there" sort. You will have to figure out a button pushing puzzle later on in the game, but that's not too tough.
The fist fighting, on the other hand, can get annoying.
First off, the game makers do not understand that some of us are left handed, and thus hold the Wiimote in our left hand. This makes fighting awkward.
The callibration is also off on the swinging of the Wiimote and Nunchuck, for throwing punches and using the whip. This encouraging me to flail my arms about wildly (which is not good).
They also make me wander about the area in a frantic search of items to beat some bad guys with (not fun at all.)
The control problems really take off in the areas where I had to hold the Wiimote vertically (piloting a plane or moving a piano about to smash into the bad guys.) It's very stiff and inaccurate.
The gunplay, on the other hand was fun for me. Pointing and shooting at the enemy is something the Wii was made for. This game take full advantage of this oppertunity.
This game will take most players about six hours to finish which is somewhat short for a $50 game.
You also get a bunch of average co-op two player games, some simple multiplayer games, a point a click adventure, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (a game that looks like it came from the early 1990s), new outfits for Indy and info on how the game was made.
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings would've been a buy if it weren't for those clunky controls and short main mode. RENT IT
Very disappointing

This is yet another game where the designers took the ability to use the Wii remote too far. Moderation, please! Just because you /can/ make an action correspond to flicking the remote around, doesn't mean you always should. At least make it an option. Flailing the remote around like a madman and hoping that the system detects some of your movements correctly does not make a fun game.
There are other flaws too (weak multiplayer, bad checkpoint system. etc.) but they pale in comparison to the controls.

Great Ideas Ruined By Awful Execution

The ideas, puzzles, story, voice acting are all great fun, however the problems with the game are great and many.
The whole game feels like you're playing through molasses. The movement is slow, the combat is slow, the time to get through cut scenes is slow. The game is just slow.
The camera is the worst. This awful mechanic caused more deaths than any villain could have. With no easy way to reset the camera, one is constantly fiddling with the D-pad in order to find an appropriate camera angle.
You cannot skip cut scenes. This is particularly frustrating when the camera and sloppy movement contributes to your death so frequently.
This is just a taste of the mediocrity that is Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. The graphics, even by Wii standards, are barely adequate; the sound design is embarrassing (with the exception of Indy and some of the other voice actors); and the overall presentation lacks polish and substance.
This game is oozing with potential; it's just a shame how the finished product came out.
Indiana Jones and the staff of kings. Great Game.

Staff of Kings is bogged down by the Wii itself.Due to "motion" controls everything in the game requires you to fling your remote around. This is the first game that I've broken the wrist strap...not from in game action but from throwing my wiimote into the ground after the 15th time I accidently hit the + button to pause the game mid "fight".
Fighting boils down to flinging your arms around until everything is beat up.
I can accept poor graphics... it is Wii. I can accept Gimmicky motion controls....BUT...
The WORST SIN however, is the BRUTAL checkpoint system that requires you to almost always go back farther that you want and replay a part you might have to go through several times due to the lame fighting mechanic and shooting. In fact I just sealed the game up after the 3rd time through the first Shooting segment. Oh I got past it pretty easy after the second try....but a little while later I died on a failed rope swing and it brought me back just befoer the first shooting part...which includes a rather lengthy "how-to" section THAT YOU CANNOT SKIP.
Lame checkpoint system is why I returned Velvet Assasin after one level. Indy gets the same treatment.
I'm really beginning to hate the Wii because it's allowing sloppy gameplay with gimmicky motion controls. Lucas arts ditched their 360 version and went this way because I guess it's easy working with 1999 technology.
I give it a 2.

The Raping of Indiana Jones
posted by bugsycline (Front Royal, VA) Mar 6, 2010
Member since Feb 2010
1. An episode of south park called "the China Problem" in wich the south park kids are cying and upset because of the way George Lucas and Steven Speilburg raped Indy in the newest Idiana Jones movie. Looks like the folks at Lucas arts also took a turn destroying the good name of Indy when they made this game.
2. the Raiders of the lost ark for the atari 2600. Raider for atari cost a whopping $50.00 when it came out and when you got it home you found out it was one of the worst games ever made. (I feel the same about this new version) it's like they just wanted to make something that sucked just as bad but with better graphics.
rather than just bash the game here is what I liked and didn't like.
I liked :
Graphics. they were supurb. The sounds were straight from the indy movies as was the sound track music... world class stuff there...
However that about ends the discussion of what I liked about this game.
What I didn't like :
The controls are terrible! I can't count the number of times I died trying to do very simple tasks such as stand close to a wall. You really have NO CONTROL of the game play at most of the crucial moments of the game. about the only time you do are durring fight sequences and when you are just walking along the path to get to another "puzzle" Most of the actions such as picking something up, walking along a wall , using the whip etc... are only able to be done when prompted by the game.
The fighting sequences are confussing. with usually more than three enimies at one time to fight. You can't ever pay attention to the enemy to react properly. The story line is just bad, with no details to what you are actually doing. and just about every new level I had to look at a walk through to see what I was supposed to do, game flow should FLOW not have you walking around going "what do I do next?"

victoria pynchon, esq.
get what you want. now.
Chances are, you've got moves, they just need some work, and some serious strategy.
And you're here because one (or more) of the following is on your plate:
- You're seeking a new job or career.
- It's time to go make a lateral move at a shop that will pay you 30-40% more than you're making now. At that place with those people who take you for granted..
- You are (long) overdue for a promotion or better compensation package.
If I know you like I think I do, you're a professional or business woman who knows you must be prepared --really prepared-- for your next negotiation.
Guess what? You're in the right place.
Together we will arm you with killer negotiation tactics and tools that, once mastered, will help you for the rest of your life. Learning these skills not only pays for itself (when you double and triple your compensation,) but it seeps into other areas of your life, upping your overall happiness. Yes, it's that good.
I also work as a business consultant for men and women in business disputes, particularly those who would rather find a solution to their problem instead of hiring a lawyer and adding legal issues to the mess. I guess you can call me a double threat.
Here is a sampling of some powerful ways we can work together:
workplace negotiation
- Higher salary
- New position or job
- Better compensation package
- Improved working relationship with your boss
- Better relationships with difficult co-workers or clients
- Flexibility in your schedule
- Resources you need to succeed
fee setting and pricing
- Discover how to accurately value your services based on research and comparables.
- Know your market and how your market values your services.
- Create wiggle room.
- Learn how to present objectively and stand your ground.
deal design and business transactions
- Joint ventures
- Partnerships
- Start ups
- Agreements among shareholders
- Client, customer and supplier agreements

praise for victoria
"I scored BIG when I hired Victoria Pynchon. She helped me successfully negotiate a job promotion, 40% raise, and new title—all at my current employer. And this was during a recession! Vickie benchmarked salaries for me, realistically evaluated my options, helped me understand the motives and pressure of my employer, and advised me at every step of the way throughout the negotiations. And she guided me in developing a long-term strategic plan for my career. Working with Vickie means winning. By the end, my husband was asking, 'does she work for men too?'"
~Silicon Valley In-house Counsel
"Victoria Pynchon's negotiation skills crush cultural bias, gender barriers and even fears about the tumultuous economy. She taught me to conquer my fears with courage and navigate contentious negotiation, while demanding my market value. Working with her has triggered a personal evolutionary spiral into a new way of doing business with confidence, the fruits of which have knocked down walls in every part of my life. I felt supported through the entire process and experienced immediate results."

Portland, Oregon: the Multi-Modal City
Extensive street networks with rich, fine-grained commercial offerings and multiple routes through town, extensive bicycle networks, a good transit grid serving not only Portland but the surrounding towns, room for cars and trucks, and a diversified economy blend into a seductive chorus that does indeed entice the timid to ride bikes, and the lazy to walk. We saw young and old, male and female, in proportions far more equal than is typical in our hometown of Los Angeles—or most other US cities, for that matter....
Cars and Contradictions
People think that cars represent freedom. We believe we aren't "free" until we have our driving license, and we resist surrendering our license when we really shouldn't be driving anymore, because without it we lose our freedom. But...cars also tie us down. We have to pay the note on the car. We pay for insurance. We pay for fuel. We pay for repairs. We worry about where to park the car. We worry about people damaging our car. We refuse to go to some places because it isn't easy to drive or park there.
Can a Museum Curate Itself?
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art recently announced yet another winner in its seemingly accursed search for a new campus—a search that has been going on for too long now—or perhaps not long enough. The museum's original buildings, a gathering of stately if terminally banal colonnaded cubes just west of the famed La Brea Tar Pits, are more reminiscent of 1960s savings & loan branches than a major cultural institution....
Cowtown vs. Corporate City? Weird Wins....
A letter that appeared in the website NextCity recently touched on the topic of livability in Dallas and Fort Worth. It gave me some sense of amusement because, while feeding the rivalry and pitting one against the other, the real envy was revealed to be aimed at Austin, where weird is king.

Members of the Manhattan Beach Community Group were briefed by representatives of the state-run New York Rising program at their meeting last night, contributing proposals and feedback and asking questions about the project's next steps. The presentation also elicited a few uncertain murmurs and misguided questions that suggested the program, now four months into its public phase, is anything but widely understood.
NY Rising is a state program to funnel millions of federal rebuilding dollars to local communities, with projects determined by neighbors at public meetings and through committees comprised of local leaders. Brooklyn has four reconstruction zones, including a newly added Canarsie zone, and Manhattan Beach belongs to a coalition that includes Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach, Coney Island and Seagate. Sheepshead Bay and Gerritsen Beach are part of a second committee. According to the New York Rising presenter, Manhattan Beach is expected to receive approximately $5.5 million dollars in a first round of funding for its project proposals.
"We have been trying to impress upon NY Rising that the most important thing that we have here is to get infrastructure fixed," MBCG President Judy Baron, who also represents the group in the NY Rising local committee, told her members. "Because if we don't have water coming into our basements, we can talk about anything else."

Ancestral Sin
Post: #5
ancestral sin
St Philoxenos is one of my favourite saints because he was so powerfully straightforward. Read his depiction of a glutton - not even the most incorrigible couch-potato could remain unmoved!
I think that the possible misunderstanding of what he is saying comes from the fact that, being a translation the word "passions" has to be used, but cannot, without a lengthy footnote, explain why he denotes all passions as being negative. It is quite simply because the passions he writes about are derived from our sinful, selfish nature, which can be summed up as
"I want , give me!" It took a lot of spiritual labour to identify, if not positive passions, then at least a positive aspect to some of the passions, for example anger, which can obviously be misdirected, and usually is, but which can be used as a weapon to fight against sin.
We are born into the natural world and "natural movements" are our responding to the non-spiritual, animal aspect of who we are. Lust for sex and food are "natural" to our fallen state,but drag down our spiritual, or real, selves.
Anyway, Roberta Chestnut's book "Three Monophysite Christologies" shows its uselessness by its very title because the three saints she deals with were not monophysites but Orthodox Christians.
I shall return to this another time.

Auralex Acoustics SheetBlok-AF
Sound isolation barrier material
SheetBlok-AF is a thin, dense isolator with a Class A fire-rated PVC laminate on its surface for a finished aesthetic. Intended as a solution for improved sound isolation between adjacent spaces, SheetBlok-AF is at least 6dB more effective than solid lead at stopping the transmission of sound. It acts as a thin, dense sound barrier layer in wall, ceiling and floor systems and is most effective when used as one component of a multi-layered construction scheme. However, SheetBlok-AF can be applied directly over the existing wall, and using Auralex's base-coat paint, it is fully paintable using any latex paint, coordinating it with any decor. It is supplied in 4'x10' sheets that can be trimmed for custom fit. It is affixed with trowel-applied adhesive, which allows proper positioning and alignment during installation.

What Is Broken Wings
Broken Wings is a documentary film project currently in production in Melbourne, Australia. It explores the legend that as many as twelve brand new Spitfires still in their original packing crates, are buried somewhere in an around the township of Oakey in southern Queensland. James Carter and Karl von Moller, both warbird enthusiasts and film makers from Melbourne are behind the venture and it's their fascination with warbird aircraft and a desire to tell a remarkable story, that's been driving this exciting project for the past 14 years.

View Our First TrailerTo provide you with some sense as to how the whole project is taking shape, we've completed our first trailer for Broken Wings. It's by no means the final trailer and there's a long way to go yet, but it will give you some sense of where the project is heading.
Now that we've just completed the next phase of interviews and filming, we're putting together another trailer that will provide even greater taste for what lies ahead. We hope to have the trailer completed in coming months, so keep an eye out on the website. In the meantime, click on the image and get a feeling for what's been driving the project and why it's such an exciting project.
What Makes This Story So Unique
The simple fact that it's a compelling, modern adventure story. A real life Raiders of the Lost Ark and it exists right here in Australia. But will we actually unearth any of these legendary aircraft? At this stage that's anyone's guess. In fact, many people we've come across ask us, "…how do you know they're there?" The short answer is, we don't. But with the amount of information we've been able to uncover over seven years, including first hand accounts of what took place at Oakey, we've narrowed the search area down to a number of likely targets. It's now up to us to find them.
Whatever the result, the Oakey legend makes for an extremely exciting documentary. No where else in the world does a story exist even remotely similar to this one. Imagine it, a bunch of guys steal a World War II Air Force fighter aircraft and bury it simply for posterity. It's the stuff of legends.The importance of finding a Spitfire cannot be understated. Of the approximately 22,000 that were manufactured, just 60 are still airworthy. What's more, only two airworthy Spitfires still exist in Australia. So to discover one or more that could be restored to airworthy condition would be remarkable.
