Metal Gear Solid HD Collection dated for PS Vita
April 30, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under News, PSV
Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, which has been available since February 3 on Xbox 360 and PS3, will be making its way onto the PS Vita in "late June"
Naturally, one of the main attractions of this compilation is the HD revamp of two of the most iconic videogames in the stealth genre – Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
The portable release will stay true to the console version, featuring all the bells and whistles added in the remastering process. Kojima Productions has also enabled the Transfarring system – a function will allow players to start a game on PS3 and continue the progress on PS Vita; and vice versa.

Square Enix to announce "surprising" new title
April 30, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
Square Enix is about to drop the bomb and surprise everyone with a new title announcement.
Revealing the new game will be made by Siliconera at some point during the next 24 hours. Though, at this point, while details are lacking and perhaps no one except the site know what really the new game is, the following teaser was posted on the page.
"We have a treat for Siliconera readers this week with news about an unannounced Square Enix game," read the announcement. "I can't say any more for the moment other than this will be a Siliconera exclusive and the game will surprise you."
Confirmed Square Enix titles to be published for this year include Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution and Tomb Raider. Internet chatters suggest that the game could be either Drakerider or Blood of Chaos, titles of which both were trademarked by the Japanese publisher earlier this year. I for one will be anticipating a Kingdom Hearts 3 confirmation. What about you?
Armored Core V Review
April 30, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360
The Armored Core series has always been about portraying addictive, arcade-esque sci-fi warfares with giant robots, something the Japanese studio excelled in representing for generations! We're talking here about a franchise made by the developers of the masochistic death-simulator Souls games, From Software. Hence one can't overlook the fact that we're off to no casual ride whatsoever. Now, Armored Core, a classic series that spawned thirteen installments, returns again this generation without adding some fancy subtitle, but keeping the numeric label in line with the last four installments. Armored Core V, while retaining the deep gameplay elements that veil any form of simplicity, it does expand the experience further by moving forward into a more online reliant formula.
Armored Core V is still the same mech-combat title diehard fans are familiar with, although is clearly influenced by the movement into a more multiplayer-focused medium. Once you start the game, you'll be connected online and asked to create/assemble your own team in order to jump right into the missions or join an online session. But here's the problem, for an installment that prides itself of being a team-based multiplayer mecha-combat title, the online portion is barely functional. It was painful to sort out an online session, if not impossible. Despite this, the very few chances I had to enter a multiplayer lobby were wholly compelling, albeit could be hard to stand a chance against enemies whom mostly are AC veterans. The thing is, the absence of enough players online is a concerning matter, especially after I have found that the single-player won't keep me hooked for a long time.
About the story in Armored Core V, well nothing here screams this will garner prizes for having the finest, most ambitious plot of the decade. No, in fact, it's quite the opposite; ACV prods a storyline that is tediously generic. Set in a future that endorsed the development of such machineries, there's a conflict between two corrupt factions, and you serve as a mercenary for the resisting group, and… well that's it. The story then develops at a very stagnant pace, and doesn't progress anytime sooner. Don't blame yourself if you didn't grasp a meaningful understanding of the storyline, I somewhat lost interest in knowing more about it thanks to the dull, badly-paced narration from one side, and due to the missions becoming more monotonous as you keep advancing.
Speaking of missions, they can be as simple as clashing with these opposing, mad futuristic looking machines. No puzzles or mind games are involved; just good old blowing the living hell out of them fools – and boy the explosions can be wicked! The missions, however, are divided between story and order chapters, but unfortunately, the story is not engaging enough and often feels unimportant – as mentioned before, mostly due to the vague explanatory of objective and because of it being plagued by a bland, uninspiring introductory narration, which becomes quite daunting by time. The cutscenes are boring and lack a rational sense of what is really going on.
Despite all this, for players whose only concern is engaging in unmercifully, unthought-of rigorous difficulty levels, as well as a bounce of repeated trial and error, the next story missions in Armored Core V are perhaps what you have been long seeking after. Sadistic is the term I would use for the baffling rise in difficulty. Not even the epitome of customized mechs would transpire through the heaps of floating missiles and gunfire. In between story chapters, you'll be facing cool bosses, gigantic ones (of course). One of the mechs gave me a slight deja vu that I've been in this fight before – turns out it was an imagery of a real-life equivalent of Mega Man, but a giant, mean one with bigger hands, posing in an even more futuristic outfit, and yes, can rely on powers other than just a Mega Blaster arm cannon. I won't spoil more! As for the order missions, bare of any story elements, this is the perfect break to collect money and garner Team Points, although the chapters could become quickly wearisome due to the very basic form of objective.
What made things even worse is the lack of a proper tutorial system. I do understand that simplicity doesn't have a place in-between From Software's self-punishing motto, but it's clearly ACV was meant to be stuck in the past in terms of presentation, for a reason I don't really grasp. To make my argument valid, I don't believe defining a hardcore title should solely rely on creating unnecessary sophistications, especially if you put into concern a franchise that has always been molded upon the niche foundation. Something ought to be carried over to Armored Core V, but unfortunately could fail by deterring newcomers. Simply put, yes, the learning curve of the game is incredibly steep and the lack of tutorials doesn't make things any better.
Understanding the controls scheme is equally confusing and consumes quite a lot of time to memorize the entire combinations and their right executions during the-so-many-different-clashing-situations. For example, when you run out of energy, it doesn't give you even one clue on to how to restore it back. At the beginning, during one mission, it pissed me off really bad that I almost punched my frog, but I didn't! Luckily, I reminisced over the blessing that is called Google; and turns out it was as simple as switching into Scan Mode – a function will turn your TV into an ugly arctic color graded HUD scene. Nonetheless, it helped me get a swifter recharge, save some energy… oh yeah also guided me to the objective! Basically, figuring how these robots operate whilst diving into the middle of the battlefield can be quite frustrating, especially if you're new to the mecha war business.
Don't get me wrong, the fun will start flowing (sluggishly) right after you achieve a respectable level of time investment. Good thing, the response of your robot is as accurate as it gets, and can be quite rewarding when part of mastery is attained. It's also worth noting that the game boasts a lavish, highly-detailed customization workshop, giving us extensive selections to build an unmatched mechanical beast. Existence of varied patterns and color pallets as well as the ability to mix and match any color are just the tip of the iceberg. The most intriguing chunk of the game was the ability to create my own Armored Core while throwing piles of customizations onto that thing. The Custom Workshop can be that fun and presumably is a place many will find themselves tinkering with for hours.
Visually, Armored Core V is repulsive, and looks incredibly outdated. If it is to be compared with recent console titles, I'm sure this will be mistaken for a PS2-developed title, except perhaps for that HD bump, which doesn't really help much in providing a subtle detail to the already bland urban environments. Then again, the Armored Core franchise was never popular for having breathtaking visuals.
What you've been reading thus far was me mostly criticizing the formula From Software consented to the game. Even so, for a lot of players, especially to those whom acquainted with the series, the majority of the listed issues won't be a substantial breaking factor, or even hinder down the level of enjoyment they're bound to absorb. Yes, for newcomers, Armored Core V is a difficult game, frustratingly difficult. Yet it can be rewarding to those willing to put their precious hours not into learning a new language, or a skill, but to master a mech-combat videogame.
EA trademarks SimOcean

According to Siliconera, Electronic Arts has trademarked 'SimOcean', hinting at a possible new Sim game from the publishing giant.
It doesn't necessarily mean that a game is currently in the works – they could be just be protecting their domain. But then we see it's Electronic Arts and the possibility of that just diminishes.

Nvidia announces GeForce GTX 690
April 30, 2012 by Taimoor Hafeez
Filed under News, PC
After many rumors about Nvidia's dual GPU solution, now that the flagship GTX 680 has been launched, nothing concrete has come from Nvidia. That is until last night when the GTX 690 was officially announced.
As you would expect, the GTX 690 carries two GF110 GPUs, so you get double the benefits of a GTX 680. 3072 CUDA cores, 64 ROPs, 256-bit bus on each GPU and 4GB of RAM in total. Gone is the NF200 bridge used in the GTX 590, instead we have PLX's PEX 874x switch that is PCIe 3.0 enabled, with 48 lanes.
To accommodate for two GPUs on one PCB some speed drops have been made to reduce heat, but thankfully not by much. Core clock speed is 915MHz (boosting to 1019MHz) compared to the GTX 680′s 1006MHz (Boosting up to 1058MHz).
Power comes in the form of two 8-pin connectors, with the GTX 690 rated at 300W TDP, compared to 375W TDP on the GTX 590. But not only does the GTX 690 dissipate less heat, but also runs cooler and quieter, 47dB compared to 51dB on the GTX 590.
The new heatsink on the GTX 690 is equally impressive, in that the aluminum fins on top of the GPUs are attached to chrome-plated aluminum cover, as opposed to the plastic cover on pretty much all of their other cards. Even the fan housing is magnesium alloy, which reduces noise and dampens vibrations. Nvidia will also have an LED which can be controlled by partners to indicate different things, changing colors or level of glow depending on the usage for instance.
All said, the number of monitors connected to the GTX 690 is limited to four, three via DVI and one mini-DisplayPort. The asking price for this impressively engineered product is $1000, which works out about the same as two GTX 680s. Availability will begin on 3rd of May, with more shipments coming in on 7th May. However, given the limited availability of the GTX 680s, don't expect the GTX 690s to linger in stock for more than a few hours.
We'll have full review coverage soon.
If Portal was made by Pixar, it would look pretty much like this
April 30, 2012 by Mufaddal Fakhruddin
Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
At least his Chell smiles. Alex Zembe, a designer for the Uncharted series, is working his "ass off" on a pet project called "Companionship_", a short animation based on Valve's Portal series.
The film is a "tale of love, loss and cubes" with apparent Pixar inspiration reflecting on the characters and the film's colorful tone. There is no date on when this will be out, but looks like a fun film to watch.
Well, as long as there will be cake.

Salt certainly works. I always carry a little plastic bottle of it and a pinch will make them drop off instantly. I then clean the wound with Betadine which I find reduces the itching.
But it's stopping them getting a hold in the first place that's the problem. Your doughnut technique with salt sounds like a good idea. - I have done some walking in remote jungle regions in Borneo where at times I have had 70 to 80 leeches on me. I have tried various things to keep them off. Tying off long sleeved clothes and pants works but they are very restrictive and uncomfortable when wet and sweaty. I am thinking of trying Bioslyx comptession sportswear. Does anyone know if this would work? Can a leech bite through such material?

Buddy Hackett, the round-faced comedian famous for his dual careers -- as a regular in family films, and as a nightclub comic innocently delivering X-rated jokes out of the corner of his mouth -- was found dead on Monday at his Malibu home, his son, comedian Sandy Hackett, announced. The 78-year-old performer's cause of death was yet to be determined, but he had long suffered from diabetes.
Since the 1950s, Hackett had been a fixture as a stand-up comic from the Catskills to Vegas. He also worked in TV from its earliest days (he starred opposite Carol Burnett in the 1956-57 sitcom ''Stanley'') and was a regular on talk shows from the pre-Johnny Carson ''Tonight Show'' to Craig Kilborn's ''Late Late Show'' (where, until recently, he had a regular segment, ''Tuesdays with Buddy''). He even appeared in several Broadway plays, making his debut in 1954 with ''Lunatics and Lovers.''
Hackett could have broken into movies as a replacement for ailing Stooge Curly Howard, whose job he was offered in 1946. Instead, he chose to develop his own material, making his screen debut the following year as the voice of a talking camel in ''Slave Girl.'' Later, he would find success in such family-friendly films as ''The Music Man'' (1962), ''It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'' (1963), ''The Love Bug'' (1968), and ''The Little Mermaid'' (1989), where he again voiced a creature, the seagull Scuttle. The family fare may have been the opposite of his blue nightclub material, but he noted that even his once-daring act was eventually surpassed by much of what played in the multiplex. ''Compared to motion pictures,'' he said in 1996, ''I'm very mild these days.''

SAN DIEGO, November 8, 2013 – Six years ago, Nonito Donaire burst onto the boxing scene with a one punch, fifth round knockout of dominant flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan.
Since then, Donaire proved it wasn't a fluke, racking up a 31-1-0 record with 20 KOs. He was named 2012 Fighter of the Year for his four victories including a super bantamweight belt with speed, skills and courage in two decisions and two TKOs.
SEE RELATED: Boxing news: Golovkin works over Stevens for TKO win; Perez gets decision
At the start of 2013, Donaire appeared ready to write a few new chapters of his success story. It wasn't to be. Donaire lost a decision to two time Cuban Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux. Donaire barely made the weight limit and failed to show much power in the disappointing loss.
Donaire has gone back to the drawing board. After seven months off during which he became a first time father, had shoulder surgery and moved up in weight class, Donaire will face Darchinyan in a rematch Saturday night at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. The fight will be televised on HBO as part of a three fight broadcast starting at 9:30 p.m. ET. Communities will host a Live Chat for the televised fights here starting at 9:30 p.m. ET.
It's hard not to root for Donaire, 30. He is well liked among the boxing community for his accomplishments inside the ring and his cheerful, positive demeanor and clean living outside the ring. Both Donaire and Darchinyan are making their featherweight division debuts. This is not the main event and not a title fight, but it is the bout with the most on the line for both boxers. The winner will move toward a title fight; the loser will face an uncertain future.
SEE RELATED: Radio City Boxing Results: Rigondeaux the real deal, wins over Donaire
Donaire wants to prove his first knockout of Darchinyan wasn't a fluke, and that his recent loss was an aberration. He promises to look for a knockout in this fight. Darchinyan, 37, wants payback and says he'll be coming for Donaire. This 10-round bout isn't likely to go the distance.
The title fight should end long before 12 rounds as well. Undefeated Mikey Garcia (32-0-0, 27 KOs) hopes to make a big debut moving up to the 130 pound super featherweight class against Roman "Rocky" Martinez (27-1-2, 16 KOs). In his last bout, Garcia failed to make weight, losing his title but handily winning his bout against Juan Manuel Lopez with a fourth round knockout. Garcia and Martinez are aggressive fighters, and a partisan Mexican-American crowd will be rooting for Garcia against the Puerto Rican Martinez. Garcia should easily overpower Martinez, but there is always room for a surprise.
Fireworks started early in the televised undercard fight between junior middleweights Demetrius Andrade (19-0-0, 13 KOs) and Vanes Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 KOs). The pair got into a scuffle during their faceoff Friday and had to be pulled apart. These boxers are both unbeaten and both former members of the U.S Olympic boxing team, Andrade in 2008 and Martirosyan in 2004. Neither of these fighters are one-punch winners, but they should give fans plenty of action in the ring to enjoy.
SEE RELATED: Boxing news: Mikey Garcia, Terence Crawford get TKO wins on HBO
All fighters made weight with a bit to spare. Join Communities for a Live Chat as we watch the action from Texas. All fans whether newcomers to the sport or obsessed boxing heads are welcome to our discussion. Everyone has something to add.
It's a Texas Tripleheader from Corpus Christi on HBO, Saturday, November 9 at 9:30 p.m. ET.

During The Fennel Seaweed Body Treatment, it is important to carry the fennel throughout the entire procedure as it stimulates the body and lymphatic system during the treatment, and is still working long after the client has left the spa.
Duration: 120 minutes
Cost: $165
Products needed:
Fennel essential oil
Grapefruit essential oil
Geranium essential oil
Massage oil
2 cups kaolin clay
1/2 cup ground fennel powder
1 cup sea kelp
1 tablespoon seaweed extract
Grape seed oil
Distilled water
Equipment needed:
Aromatherapy steam shower
Nasal cannula and oxygen
Vichy shower or regular shower
Hot towel cabi
Plastic sheets
Disposable bikini (if desired)
Bath pillow
Large bowl (size of soup bowl)
Small bowl (size of glass finger bowl)
Step 1: Welcome the client, and make her feel comfortable. Explain the procedure, discuss the client's medical history, as well as the benefits of the procedure, and address any concerns at this time. The only contraindications for this treatment would be if the client is allergic to any of the ingredients used or is pregnant. After the conversation, ask the client to get into a disposable bikini and bathrobe, and escort her to the aromatherapy steam shower.
Step 2: Infuse steam with fennel, grapefruit and geranium essential oils. Allow client to relax, detoxify and exfoliate in the steam. If possible, have soft music playing to set a calming, relaxing mood while the client inhales the oils. As the oils flow through the bloodstream, the client should feel lighter and internally clean. The shower should last 15–20 minutes.
Step 3: During the shower, create a sea mud mixture by combining the kaolin clay, sea kelp, ground fennel powder, seaweed extract, 1 cup distilled water, 10 drops fennel essential oil, five drops grapefruit essential oil and five drops geranium essential oil in large bowl. The mixture must have the same consistency as pudding.
Step 4: Bring the client into the wet room and ask her to lie down on the plastic sheet-draped bed, placing her head on a bath pillow. Continue to play soft music in the background.
Step 5: Apply the sea mud mixture with a brush, starting at the toes and moving upward to the neck. Have the client lift her legs one at a time instead of flipping over because of the stickiness of the plastic.
Step 6: After completing the application, loosely cover the client with the plastic and cocoon her with a warm blanket from the hot towel cabi. The sea mud is working hard, penetrating the skin and joining the rest of the oils in the bloodstream while also exfoliating and conditioning the skin. If available, place nasal cannula on client and turn on oxygen. Dim the lights and make sure the client is extremely content and comfortable. Leave client alone with pleasant thoughts for a meditation time of 20 minutes.
Step 7: During this time, make the massage oil by filling the small bowl halfway with grape seed oil, adding five drops of the three essential oils and stirring until combined.
Step 8: Remove blanket and plastic sheets and, while client is lying on the table, shower off the mud using a handheld showerhead.
Step 9: Once the mud is removed, turn on the Vichy shower. Allow warm water to shower down on the freshly exfoliated, rejuvenated client. After approximately five minutes of this, the Vichy portion is complete. Place a warm towel on the client and allow the skin to absorb the moisture.
Step 10: Ask the client to lie down on a massage table covered with dry sheets. This portion of the service is not a massage, but simply a moisturization of the new skin. Moisturize client from head to toe with fennel massage oil, going lightly from front to back.
Step 11: Once complete, allow the client a little downtime before she dresses.
I am a self-professed Food Network junkie. When all else fails, the Food Network is there for me, offering me tips, techniques, and the rhythmic stirring and chopping that can zone me into an intense relaxation unlike anything else. Whether it is Rachael Ray, Paula Deen or Bobby Flay, I know they aren't going to stress me out—they are simply going to supply another brilliant, delicious meal option. And very often, one of the key ingredients in these tasty dishes is fennel, offering its yummy crunch and supporting flavor to a variety of dishes. But more than that, this herb has incredible skin care benefits, as well.
Indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, fennel is now largely produced by the United States, France, India and Russia.1 Its texture is similar to that of celery, and all of its parts—the bulb, stalks and fronds—are edible, although the bulb is the most sought-after. Not a "bulb" at all in reality, it contains tightly stacked leaves that unpack like the base of a celery stalk. Its sweet, delicate flavor is tasty on its own, but it blends with and enhances other tastes so well that this is where its true strength lies. Fennel seeds are also commonly used as a spice in Italian sausage, stews and rustic breads.2 It contains a unique combination of phytonutrients and is an excellent source of vitamin C.1
The strengths of this umbelliferous herb are heartily embraced by spa cuisine chefs. At Oak Café Restaurant at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa in Ojai, California, the main course of Grilled Number One Tuna is enjoyed with baby artichoke hearts, fennel, garlic and light lemon herb broth. Fennel relish complements the Parmesan Crusted "Free Range" Chicken Breast at Washington, Connecticut's The Mayflower Inn & Spa; and Red Mountain Spa in St. George, Utah, offers Fennel with Ginger. The Arugula salad at Kohler Waters Spa's Burr Ridge, Illinois, location features shaved fennel, as does the Pan-seared Rare Ahi Tuna Bento Box at the Mandarin Oriental Boston; and check out the recipe for Red Inca Quinoa & Shaved Young Fennel from Executive Chef Michael O'Dowd of the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa in Chandler, Arizona.
Fennel has a soothing, cleansing and toning effect on the skin and is especially beneficial for mature complexions. It can help reduce water retention in the skin and get rid of toxins to balance the production of hormones that effect skin elasticity.3
At the Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Spa in Dorset, England, the Body Sculpting Cellulite Therapy features a detoxifying Fennel and Birch Peel-off Body Mask to deeply cleanse the body's system; and the Monticelli Mud treatment at Villagio Inn & Spa in Yountville, California, blends fennel essential oils with cypress and lemon to help relieve aches and pains. The Hungarian Moor Mud Kur service at The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa in Sonoma, California, concludes with a massage using a soothing mineral cream made with fennel, juniper and lavender essential oils; and Anthony DeFranco Salon and Spa in Huntington Station, New York, offers the Sea Mud Body Treatment, which blends gingko and fennel extracts to revitalize and detoxify skin. Also, take a look at The Fennel Seaweed Body Treatment how-to from Zoē Anti-Aging & Wellness Spa in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, for a fulfilling fennel body service.

Crystal Accents are ideal for wedding arrangements, centerpieces, fresh and silk flowers. Just add water and accent floating candles and more. This 6 ounce jar make 6 gallons.
8 out of 8 found this review helpful.
Recommend: Yes
I used these crystals for my wedding centerpieces as a cover up for the silk stems in the vases. They came out really elegant and the water crystals kept their shape and lasted in the vase for days. One tablespoon of crystals was enough for two vases. There was still plenty more left and the whole container makes 6 gallons. Highly recommend this as affordable alternative to those hard "bling crystal" vase fillers.

Red Velvet Cheesecake
If you're undecided about what sort of delicious dessert to make for Christmas this year, look no further. I found one for you… Red Velvet Cheesecake.
I don't gush about recipes all that often, and I'm a horrible critic of my own creations. I usually have to ask others what they think in order to get decent feedback to share. With this recipe, however, I sampled a piece. I wish I had committed every single decadent bite to my taste memory. I wish I had another piece. I will tell you with great confidence that this cheesecake was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Using a recipe from Southern Living, I made a few changes. Here's my how-to:
Into a springform pan, I pressed an Oreo cookie crust.
The batter is a classic cheesecake batter with a small amount of added cocoa, buttermilk and vinegar (which are typical in a red velvet cake).
Of course you must add red food coloring to get that wonderful red hue. Some people are frightened by the use of red food coloring. You can always try using a concentrated red gel paste instead- you'll be able to use a smaller amount and still achieve a vibrant red hue.
The key to baking a perfect cheesecake with no cracks is to bake it in a water bath. Protected by two layers of heavy-duty foil, the pan is lowered into a 'bath' and baked at a low temperature.
See how perfect? Not a single crack.
Just as a Red Velvet Cake is topped with a cream cheese frosting, this Red Velvet Cheesecake is also topped with a cream cheese frosting. You might be thinking that's a little overboard. It is, but it's perfect. I might just put frosting on all of my cheesecakes now
Mint leaves were the perfect garnish… green with the red and the white… so holiday!
I piped on some melted red chocolate to create little "holly" leaves from the mint.
I was very pleased with how the color turned out in this cheesecake- just a fabulous shade of red and a very festive addition to a Christmas dinner menu.
Incredibly moist, I can honestly say that this cheesecake is a new favorite of mine. I just loved the flavor… reminiscent of the same red velvet flavor that you get in the cake- especially with the cream cheese addition on top.
I really had only meant to take a bite to sample and somehow save the rest for my son, but I just couldn't help myself. The kid didn't get any.
I ate every single bite myself. And it was so worth that extra 30 minutes at the gym.
I brought the rest of this cheesecake (yes, with one little sliver taken out!) to the teachers at my son's school for a luncheon. Let's just say that one of the teachers literally bowed to me as I picked up my dish after their feast. It really was that good!

Fall has arrived and the final MainStreet Cleveland Cruise-in will be held Saturday.
Gospel music will fill the air around the Courthouse Plaza, according to MainStreet executive director Sharon Marr.
A number of other events are also slated for downtown Cleveland after the cruisers close out the season. Typically, 400 to 600 drivers show off their classic and antique modes of transportation … whether they be trucks, cars, motorcycles or even bicycles.
From slick paints, to patina and rust, the streets surrounding the area will be filled with the vehicles.
The MainStreet Cruise-in comes on the heels of the popular Cleveland Apple Festival, held this past weekend.
Four musical groups will provide entertainment for the final Cruise-In of 2013.
At 4 p.m., Trinity Trio will take to the stage as the first of four gospel groups on the evening's program.
Kathy Smith of The Seekers coordinated the gospel portion of the program and The Seekers provided and set up the sound equipment for all of the performances.
Following the Trinity Trio, enjoy performances by Stronger for It, Mercy's Call, and The Seekers.
The Cruise-In is a free family event for both participants and spectators. Stroll the downtown streets and visit local shops and restaurants. Food vendors add to the atmosphere with barbecue, kettle corn, fried apple pies, and more.
"The Cruise-In has a big economic impact on our community. It is amazing how many out-of-state cars travel to Cleveland for this event. These visitors are spending money in our hotels, restaurants and shops. We congratulate the MainStreet Cruisers for 12 years of success with this event. Thank you to the Cruisers' volunteers who invest many hours to make this event so successful, from the blocking of streets and directing traffic, to trash cleanup the following morning," said Marr.
After the final car cruise, the course has been set for the 26th annual Downtown Cleveland Halloween Block Party, which will be one week from today on Halloween evening.
This year's headliner is a popular 1980s tribute group.
The Breakfast Club will be performing on the main stage at the Courthouse Square.
Local party band Convertibull will open for The Breakfast Club.
Music performances will begin at 6 p.m., and The Breakfast Club will take the stage at 8 p.m.
The ever-popular Treat Street will also be doling out plenty of Mars candies.
Marr said more than 40 vendors, including food vendors, have committed to the annual event.
"They will be situated around the Courthouse Square, and a map will be provided to the Banner for publication as soon as placements are finalized," Marr said.
Officials are still placing vendors during the final days of preparation.
Things quiet down through the month of November, then in December, "A Classic Christmas in Cleveland" begins.
Marr said the annual Christmas tree lighting at the Post Office Annex will kick off the Christmas holiday season.
The tree lighting and "Carols in the City" will be held Dec. 6.
"The Downtown Cleveland Christmas Parade will be held the day after, on Saturday," Marr said.
Entry forms for those groups or individuals who want to participate in the parade, are available by visiting www.mainstreetcleveland.com.

Semester Transition Advising
Semesters Advising Banner
Take 5
Five classes (or 15 hours) per semester will be the new average
In the semester system, there are only two terms (Fall, Spring) during the normal academic year. In addition, most semester courses are on a 3-semester credit hour base. All bachelor's degrees in semester format are at least 120 semester hours. (Associate degrees are at least 60 semester hours.)
To reach 120 semester hours in four years (eight semesters), a student, therefore, must take at least 15 semester credit hours (five "typical" classes) per semester.
15 x 8 = 120
To reach 60 semester hours in two years (four semesters) for an associate degree, a student must still take at least 15 semester credit hours (five "typical" classes) per semester.
15 x 4 = 60
Other items to keep in mind:
Meet with your advisor now to choose your Fall semester classes and create a plan to complete your degree.
The Fall 2012 class schedule is available now! View the Dynamic Course Schedule.
Fall 2012 Early Registration is going on now!
Fall semester is 15 weeks (14 weeks of classes plus one week of finals).
- Aug. 27 First day of classes
- Dec. 7 Last day of classes
- Dec. 10-15 Final exams
- Dec. 15 Fall Commencement
Because you will be taking five classes per semester as opposed to four classes currently (in quarters), you will need to plan your weekly study times differently.
NOTE: Graduate degrees have different requirements. Graduate students should see their program director or contact the Graduate School.

The Prime Minister has this morning called for "cool heads" to prevail as the battle between Sea Shepherd activists and Japanese whalers intensifies.
There are more claims and counter claims about dirty tactics between the two parties in the Southern Ocean, with both groups releasing new videos and photographs today of a collision in the Southern Ocean.
John Key said it is "very dangerous and treacherous waters".
"We can't provide immediate support if something goes potentially wrong there and we think cool heads should prevail."
He said New Zealand has made its view very clear in regards to whaling.
"We are not a party directly to the case that the Australians are bringing to the International Court of Justice, but we are participating in that process and my view would be that we'd like to see an end to whaling in the Southern Ocean".
Japanese whalers claim the images and video show anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd ramming their harpoon ship to prevent refuelling between the tanker and the Japanese whaling fleet's 8,000-tonne factory.
The Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR), a Japanese group that runs the whaling programme, said in a release that on February 25 around 1200JST until about 1500JST during refuelling operations, the Nisshin Maru and her supply tanker were "again subject to sabotage by the Sea Shepherd ships Steve Irwin, Bob Barker and Sam Simon".
It said the Sea Shepherd's Bob Baker vessel collided with the Nisshin Maru and its fuel tanker ship at least five times, as the activist ships repeatedly forced their way between the Nisshin Maru and her supply tanker.
It said the Nisshin Maru used its water pump as a preventive measure to make the Sea Shepherd vessels refrain from further approaching and "repeatedly broadcast a warning message to stop them".
"However, in order to secure safety, the Nisshin Maru decided to interrupt her refuelling procedure due to the extremely dangerous and foolhardy behavior of Sea Shepherd vessels. The Sea Shepherd vessels perpetrated a similar obstructive attack on February 20."
No Japanese crew members were injured, ICR said, and the damage to the ships was yet unknown.
The ICR said allegations that there was oil spillage during the research vessels refuelling operations were unfounded.
The Sea Shepherd had a different account of the collision, saying the factory ship Nisshin Maru rammed Sea Shepherd's vessel Bob Barker twice on Monday afternoon, causing it to collide with the tanker Sun Laurel.
It uploaded their footage of the collision to YouTube with the description: "Bob Barker gets sandwiched, drenched and assaulted by flash grenades from the Whaling poachers and doesn't surrender!!"
Sea Shepherd said "a flash bang grenade" was thrown by the whalers.
The group says it was attempting to block a refuelling operation in the Australian Antarctic Territory, the same action that sparked a dangerous confrontation last week.
Sea Shepherd says a Japanese military icebreaker, the Shirase, has arrived to assist the whalers.
"The Nisshin Maru is attempting another illegal ... refuelling operation in Australia's Antarctic Territory, with a massive Japanese Naval Ship, the Shirase, available for backup," the group's Facebook site said.
Sea Shepherd says two of its ships, the Steve Irwin and Sam Simon, had their engine rooms flooded by water cannons and it has responded in kind.
"The Steve Irwin's water cannons have been engaged, the crew have been instructed not to aim them at any people on the poaching vessels," the group said.
The 12,500-tonne Shirase, which can carry 250 people and three helicopters, is operated by the Japan Maritime Self Defence Force tasked with the naval defence of the country.
Federal environment minister Tony Burke yesterday issued a please explain to Japan about the ship's role, suggesting it was exploiting a loophole by assisting the Korean tanker rather than the Japanese whalers directly.
Japan introduced scientific whaling to skirt a commercial whaling ban under a 1986 moratorium. It argues it has a right to monitor the impact of whales on its fishing industry.

Can I freeze potato soup? I used a new recipe last night and it was great. But, it was a lot of work! I was wondering if I could make a large batch and freeze it. Thanks for you help.

Follow-Up Postings:
I have never tried it, but I had a friend who did. She said that it all separated and she had to throw it out. |
Brooke, I have tried it and along with icebird's friend mine separated when I cooked it. I tried eating it and the break down was with the potatoes. I won't freezed it again. I was just thinking though maybe the potatoes wouldn't turn to mush if they were undercooked. Just a thought. |

J. J. Fad
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) |
J. J. Fad | |
Also known as | Original J.J. Fad |
Origin | Rialto, California, San Bernardino County, United States |
Genres | Hip hop |
Years active | 1985–1992 2009–present |
Labels | Uncle Louie Music Group, Ruthless Records |
Associated acts | N.W.A, The Fat Boys |
Members | Juana Burns (MC J.B.) Dania Birks (Baby D) Michelle Franklin (Sassy C) Mik Levan (Arabian Prince) |
J. J. Fad is an American rap group from Rialto, California, whose name stood for Just, Jammin', Fresh And Def, and were backed by Clarence "DJ Train" Lars.
JJ Fad was originally a five-member group out of Los Angeles in 1985. Its members were Juana Burns (M.C.J.B.), Dania Birks (Baby-D), Anna Cash (Lady Anna), Fatima Shaheed (O.G. Rocker) and Juanita Lee (Crazy J.). The name JJ Fad is an acronym of their names: Juana, Juanita, Fatima, Anna and Dania (JJ FAD). The group released one single, 1987's "Another Hoe + Supersonic".
Due to management and financial issues, Cash, Shaheed and Lee left the group, leaving JJ Fad as a duo. After that, Michelle Franklin (Sassy C.) and DJ Train entered the group, and Supersonic was re-recorded and re-released.
J. J. Fad gained popularity with a trimmed-down line-up of MC J.B. (Juana Burns), Baby-D (Dania Birks), and Sassy C. (Michelle Franklin). Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the group was one of the original Ruthless Records acts signed by Eazy-E, and they sold 400,000 copies of their 1987 single "Supersonic" independently before Eazy and Jerry Heller had managed to secure a major label recording contract.
Signing the act to Atco Records, both the single "Supersonic" and the album Supersonic went platinum. The album was produced by Dr. Dre and DJ Yella with Arabian Prince, shortly before Dre and Yella gained national fame with N.W.A. J. J. Fad were the first female rap group to earn a Grammy nomination and have a record reach platinum status.[1] Unlike many West Coast rappers of the day, their producers made J.J. Fad sound easily accessible to a pop audience by including many electro elements throughout.
Not Just a Fad[edit]
It was three years before the group returned with a follow up album, with Eazy and Heller enjoying success with N.W.A. Not Just a Fad was released in 1991, produced by Yella and overseen by Eazy, but the album failed to make an impact. The group disbanded shortly afterwards. DJ Train died in 1994 of smoke inhalation.
Present day[edit]
In 2006, Fergie used an interpolation of "Supersonic", and a sample of "Give It All You Got" by Afro-Rican, for her song named "Fergalicious".
After being out of the music industry for almost two decades raising their families, J. J. Fad reunited and started touring in 2009. "Supersonic" appeared in Dance Central 3 and the game was promoted by J.J. Fad themselves via their Facebook page. They eventually reformed on stage invited by Public Enemy at the House of Blues, the day before the NYC band's induction to Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.
J. J. Fad and "Supersonic" were referenced in Eminem's critically acclaimed single "Rap God".

My Perspective
Low Dose, High Quality Possible by Olive Peart, M.S. R.T. (R) (M)
Radiologic Technology, 79:371-372 2008
© 2008 American Society of Radiologic Technologists
The year was 1908, and the use of radiation for both medical and recreational purposes was expanding rapidly. Circuses used the rays to guess the content of women's bags. Shoe stores had fluoroscopy machines to help customers fit shoes. Wealthy individuals had x-ray units in their homes to entertain guests.
As time progressed, the consequences to individuals became apparent. Yet, even as scientists began documenting eye and skin ailments, the abuse of radiation continued.
The problem was that these rays could not be seen, tasted, touched, smelled or heard. It was difficult for the public to understand the dangers. Not until well into the 1950s did the many harmful practices finally cease. Even then, the effort was geared mainly toward protecting those who worked with x-rays.
Fast forward 100 years. The year is 2008. Today, a career using x-rays is absolutely safe. Technologists can enjoy the benefits of protective devices such as lead shielding and radiation monitoring. Yet concern still remains: What about the patients?
The rapid spread of multislice computed tomography (CT) scans, plus computed radiography (CR) and direct radiography (DR) in general radiography, has been great for our profession. However, these new technologies have resulted in a rapid and dangerous increase in radiation dose to patients.1 The American College of Radiology developed appropriateness criteria, recognizing that there is an immediate need to develop a nationally accepted system to assist radiologists and referring physicians in making the correct imaging decision for a given patient.2 It is hoped that, if implemented, these guidelines will protect patients by addressing one aspect of the problem — namely physicians.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
COMET in Ct, a Manchester Labrador Retriever/Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Boxer for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Boxer dog from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Boxer breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

I used a weed killer of a reputable brand that advertised "wont kill your grass" well the weeds are all gone but now my grass is all brown and dead, and in other spots there were so many weeds that i have bare spots in between what little grass is left alive.
is there anything I can do for the brown grass.. will fertilizer magically bring it back to life?
Im young this is my first lawn and im on a budget so re-sodding the whole yard is out of the question. is there anything i can do to save my little yard??

Ouch, that hurts! If you fertilize now, I'd use Miracle Gro or something to give it a gentle boost instead of a Scotts' brand fertilizer. Alternately, Milorganite which is a little gentler. Water might help, too... Good luck! Morpheus |
Yeah, lots and lots of water to try leaching it past the root zone, but then you don't indicate when this happened. So, I don't know if it is already too late. There in Texas, it's possible you have St. Augustinegrass. Many labels say the product won't burn the lawn, but they also state not to use on St. Augustine or a certain variety of St. Augustine, like Floratam. Other than those, herbicides formulated for warm season grasses are usually pretty harmlesss to the other species. Ordinarily when this happens, the grass does survive and return at a later time. Yours being a warm season type, I can't speculate when that will be - this season or next year. Perhaps someone else will have a better guess. I'm sure you don't need me to say it but I'm gonna LOL. In the future, please read the whole label before applying and be sure to apply at recommended rates. More is not better. Tell us what type of grass you have so someone can direct you in caring for it. There are different maintenance practices for almost all the different warm season type species, and proper care is your best hope for reviving it right now, even though it's brown. |

Echoing what bestlawn has asked, what kind of grass do you have? And what specific weed killer did you use? Here's a recent topic that might be relevant to this discussion: Fescue suddenly yellowing |
The user caused the lawn to die. Not the weed killer. Take responsibility. Read directions. |
I no longer trust weed killers that supposedly won't harm grass. I burned up sections of my lawn last June with Weed be Gone because the weather turned warmer. I think the only way to use the stuff is when the soil is moist and the temps are cool. If its been hot and dry where you are I don't think the grass will come back. It didn't for me. |
- Posted by texasredhead z8Texas (My Page) on Mon, May 7, 07 at 9:05
Unless a product is specifically labeled that it is safe for St. Augustine, it will likely kill the grass. Once St. Augustine is straw brown, it is dead. No amount of water or fertilizer will bring it back. This from a person that has a 50 year old organically maintained St. Augustine lawn. |
I just used Ortho weed-be-gone MAX (the spray bottle that you connect to your hose). Spoke to a Scotts rep at Home Depot this past Satuday, and he told me how to use it all over my lawn. My main culprit was clover in mass quantities all over the lawn area. Sprayed it on, admittedly used the entire bottle on less than the recommended square footage of lawn area, but noticed the clover starting to wilt the next day. Will keep an eye on the clover and grass over the next couple days. BTW, I'm up in the NW suburbs of Boston, by Nashua. Hope this stuff works well. My neighbor spent $160 on a lawn co. to spray to kill his clover. Doing the job, but that's big bucks to spend for me. I need two more Ortho bottles to finishe my entire lawn area, and I'll have been out just $40. |

Nashua NH is a suburb of boston now ?? lol i miss boston my hometown |
urban sprawl has pretty much annexed much of southern NH along the Rtes 3/93/95 corridors as suburbs of Boston. I'm in Pepperell, MA, 10 minutes SW of Nashua, to be exact. Back to the weed issue for a moment. I just finished spraying weed-be-gone MAX over the rest of my lawn area. And I did ID the weeds as white clover, not black medic, as I read about in another post. The clover is really wilting nicely. MY QUESTION is what exactly will happen to the dying clover?? Can I expect it to just die and remain visible on the lawn, or will it shrivel up and become less visible with the grass growing and being mowed all season long? |
Ouch. I'm the author of the linked thread above but I have good and bad news for you related to that. The good: my lawn has almost 100% rebounded after the yellowing. However, I think I was lucky to get cool temps and a lot of rain in the days following the application. The bad: I have fescue which is "safe" to use those products on and my grass merely turned yellow with little browning. If you do in fact have St. Augustine, I'm afraid your grass will not rebound this easily. :( Good luck! |
"what exactly will happen to the dying clover?" It will die. It'll get all twisty, then shrivel and turn brown. There will be bare spots where the clover used to be. If you have KBG, it'll spread to fill in those bare spots. If you have fescue, you'll need to overseed to get grass in those bare spots. |

Weigojmi, Whew! I'm glad to hear that your lawn rebounded. |
Thanks, I'm sure most everyone can relate to the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach upon seeing that. |
- Posted by jessie-poo (My Page) on Wed, May 9, 07 at 17:40
The weed killer i used is Bayer Advanced for southern lawns it says for st Augustine &other southern lawns... is it possible the grass got burned, we ahd a good rain (REALLY GOOD) a few days after but then it was hot.. |
But it also says not to use on Floratam variety of St. Augustine. What is your grass? Yes, that is possible but we can't know the affect it had on the root system. This would determine whether it recovers and only knowing the variety will help with the answer. Normally, herbicides will not harm the grass types for which it is labeled. If over-applied, it might cause yellowing but that is temporary. |

I used Weed-be-Gone and killed my St. Augustine grass just a couple of weeks ago too. Now my beautiful yard looks like hell. Large dried up spots. I'm so ashamed, I didn't read the label. Since it's my front yard, I can't wait until next season for nature to take its coarse, so I've spent the last couple of days installing plugs for instant results. Weed Killer on my precious St Augustine grass... I'll never do that again! |
- Posted by texas-weed 7A (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 07 at 14:09
Do you know what kind of grass it was? Being in TX it is a good chance you had Saint Augustine. You cannot use any post emergence herbicide on Saint Augustine except Atrazine. All others will kill it that contain 2,4-D, MSMA, and Dicamba the most popular combination of herbicides. If it was Saint Augustine, and you used something like Weed-b-Gone, your Saint Augustin Be-Gone, dead, and will not come back ever again no mater what you do. |
Apparently the U of Fl does not find that 2-4d damages SA and I have to agree, see below- spot sprayed misc weeds two weeks ago and the grass is fine- it got the dollarweed but is slow and hit or miss on the violets- However I would be cautious as usual in hot weather- probabaly will not be able to use it again til fall. SpeedZone™ St. Augustine Formula is also unusual in containing the herbicide 2,4-D which was generally thought to be damaging to St. Augustinegrass. In the mid 1980s Dr. Wayne Currey, then turfgrass weed scientist for the University of Florida, observed considerable difference in the St. Augustinegrass injury among different phenoxy herbicide products. The differences were due to the concentration of herbicides other than 2,4-D, particularly mecoprop (once called MCPP), in the mixtures. From many experiments that I have performed in South Florida, mecoprop and not 2,4-D appears to be the killer of St. Augustinegrass. SpeedZone™ St. Augustine Formula contains a reduced concentration of mecoprop, and I have not seen injury to St. Augustinegrass from labeled rates applied at any season of the year. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Broadleaf herbicides for St. Augustinegrass turf
I'm looking for a weed killer and i have St. Agustine grass, wich brand u recomend and where to buy it? I've been looking for SpeedZone and i can find it... Thanks for your help!! |
natalia, Does anyone carry Fertilome products in your area? Actually what I used is Fertilome Weed Free Zone which is the same formulation as Speedzone Southern and Speedzone St Augustine- just remember that it's getting hot right now. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Weed Free Zone
I used the same product and followed the directions spot spraying the weeds. The grass is dead but I had to dig the weeds out because they were still flourishing, then I spot reseeded. Took the product back to the store where I got it and got a refund. |
I'm in north Florida and just did the same thing. I used bayer advanced for southern lawns. Said its for st. Augustine and other southern lawns. Well it killed my st Augustine. Didn't kill the centipede. i may have applied it too late in the year? it was pretty hot, but applied in the evening while it was cool. Anyways, I wonder if it will come back next season???? |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sat, Aug 24, 13 at 15:24
You can speed up the return with a few flats of new grass. It will cost you a little more than a dollar per flat but they spread very well in the fall and spring. I'd like to see a picture where the centipede was spared and the St Augustine was killed. Can you post one? |

"Uber-auctioneer" -Decanter Magazine Jan. 2014
A little history...
truly an exceptional auctioneer. Robert Mondavi
Ursula has been standing at a podium from the very start of her career at Christie's in New York. Ursula worked as a furniture and decorations generalist until Christie's called upon her to actualize her passion for the grape. In the mid-1990's Ursula established Christie's New York wine department along with their original auction partner Zachys, the Scarsdale, NY fine wine mega-retailer. The Zachys-Christie's New York wine auctions set new standards for the American wine auction market. Ursula eventually left Christie's and jumped into the high adventures of the dot.com arena. Her pioneering interest in online wine auctions prompted Wine Spectator to profile Ursula in its article "The Changing Face of Auctions." Over the years, Ursula has been invited to work most of the country's top ten benefit wine auctions. Ursula became the first woman to take the rostrum at the world famous Napa Valley Wine Auction and continues to appear annually. In June 2013, Ursula worked the stage with to hammer down the largest Napa Valley Wine Auction total to date: $16.9 million - the country's largest benefit wine auction total in history. Ursula works personally with record-holding baseball player Rusty Staub, presiding each year over his foundation's wine auction, which is the country's fourth largest. Ursula has also joined forces with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse to wield the gavel for his foundation. She has worked with Robin Williams, Michael J. Fox, Heather Locklear and Teri Hatcher, each celebrity jumping on her stage to spice up the auction action. In addition to banging a gavel, Ursula has spoken at a number of wine conferences and symposia, including the Aspen Food & Wine Festival, The International Pinot Noir Celebration and the American Institute of Wine and Food National Convention. Ursula has been featured on CNN's Marketplace and is a frequent guest on various radio shows dealing with wine and its investment potential. Additionally, you will have seen her profiled in Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine & Spirits, Drinks, Town & Country, and Glamour magazines. Often called upon to comment on women's position in the wine world, her comments are found in a recent Time.com article on wine marketing to women. Along with the wine world's most influential figures in the international wine scene, Ursula is included in Ann B. Matasar's, Women of Wine (University of California Press). Vanity Fair magazine included her as a definition in their 2005 Wine Snob's Dictionary.From 2006 - 2010, Ursula held the position as Estate Manager at California's most elusive wine property Screaming Eagle. She was chosen for this position by the new owners who recognized that her connection to the Napa Valley, as well as her experience of the world's finest wine, was a perfect fit oversee the continuation of excellence. She is also the author of The Wine Lovers Guide to Auctions: The Art & Science of Buying and Selling Wine (Square One Publishers).

A course taught at a select military college in Norfolk, Virginia has been suspended after complaints it included number of anti-Islamic materials, including a Power Point slide suggesting the United States is "at war" with Islam, officials said Wednesday.
The Joint Forces Staff College, which trains officers for various higher-level joint assignments, offers a class on "Perspectives in Islam and Islamic Radicalism". This class has been halted pending an inquiry into how the slide and other material came to be included in the class. Officials said a student's complaint alerted them.
The scandal prompted the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey (pictured), to order a review of all military training curricula to ensure no similar references exist elsewhere.
Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said the sentiments expressed on the slide are not what the U.S. military espouses or tries to teach.
"We are not at war with Islam," he said. "We are at war withal-Qaida, specifically."
The Defense Department became aware of the complaints on Friday, and the military has begun to review that specific course.
However, General Dempsey also wants "to take a broader view" and scrutinize all military education.
General Dempsey's memo, dated 24 April, calls for a review by combatant commands, services, the National Guard Bureau and the Joint Staff to ensure that military education programs demonstrate "cultural sensitivity, respect for religion and intellectual balance."
General Demsey is angered that such an incident has taken place again. The Pentagon asked for a curriculum review last year, in response to similar complaints about training by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on countering extremism, as well as related Defense Department lectures. General Dempsey's new order seems to reflect his irritation that the latest complaints "caused me to question whether all parties understood the spirit and intent" of the earlier effort.
He complained that military instructors and guest lecturers appeared to be "advocating ideas, beliefs and actions that are contrary to our national policy, inconsistent with the values of our profession and disrespectful of the Islamic religion."
No one has been suspended or disciplined over the matter, which is characterized as an inquiry as opposed to a full-blown investigation that would look into criminal behavior.
There was no indication Wednesday how long the inquiry would take, but it will try to determine how long the inflammatory material has been included in the course. That's something officials just don't know, Kirby said.
The course has been offered as an elective since 2004.

Burlap Banner Tutorial | DIY
As Memorial Day approaches, so does my collaborative stylized engagement photo shoot with Aleen Floral Design at The Williamsburg Winery. This is such an exciting time. I have never had a shoot at a vineyard and this one is going to be quite special. Karen, from Aleen, and I both decided we would make burlap signage for our businesses to be featured in a few images as a soft marketing approach. I loved how my burlap sign came out and I plan to make many more! For brides looking to make a "thank you", "love" or "Mr. & Mrs" sign for their engagement or wedding portraits, this would be a fantastic idea. The vintage look and feel is perfect for any outdoor wedding or event! Here is my step by step burlap banner tutorial so you can make your own.
Ex-acto Knife, Scissors, Ruler, Burlap, Twine, Thread, Pen, Pins, Ruler, Acrylic Paint (color of your choice), Foam Paint Brush, Cutting Board, Paper for printing letters, 9" x 13" paper for triangle template, Sewing Machine, Iron
Step 1
I used Adobe Photoshop to create my letter stencils. However, you can make them just as easily in Microsoft Word. The font shown below is Charlemagne Std at font size 400. Print each letter on a single sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper. Place your letter on a cutting board and use your ex-acto knife to trace around each letter. They should almost pop right out of the paper when a little pressure is applied.
Step 2
Cut out your triangle. The easiest way to make a triangle is to take a large piece of paper, fold it in half, draw one half of your triangle and cut it out. Your triangle will be perfect. Once your template is ready, pin it to your burlap and cut out your triangles.
Step 3
Place your letter template on your burlap triangle and determine where you would like each letter to be placed. Keep track of your measurements as you will want your letters to be centered and level on each burlap piece.
Step 4
Once you have determined where you want your letters to appear on your burlap triangles, it's time to get out your paint and sponge brush. Hold down your stencil and lightly sponge the entire area. Remove the stencil and set aside your burlap to dry. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have all your letters. Once your letters are dried, fold over the top of each triangle 1" and iron. String your twine through your first triangle and pin the fold down. Leave a long string attached for adding your other triangles and for hanging your sign.
Step 5
Sew your 1" seam, making sure your twine can move freely within the pocket you have created. Repeat step 5 with each of your letters in the order you prefer.
Step 6
Get your scissors out and trim the small triangles on either side of the pocket you just sewed. Make sure not to snip your twine!
Step 7
Step back and admire your work!
