I wish I could agree, but I think this installation of Halo may be the worst and most creatively bankrupt of the series.

I'm surprised at alot of The Darkness 2 love from several people. I loved the original but 2 just doesn't feel right to me, and I don't know why!
I loved the first Darkness game, and I can't wait to play the sequel.
It's definitely great to see this game get some attention.

I'm actually a big fan of this. It's just for a week every year and it's nice to see people from the various points of gaming comment on their best of the year. I think it's also nice that all these people are willing to share their lists with the GiantBomb community. The only thing that will tick me off is if they don't get a list from John Vignocchi.
Also, I'll take stuff like this over "let's re-print the same trivial story everyone else is running with this hour", like most sites and a slew of "here's another trailer you've seen everywhere else". Plus, it's the holidays. They gotta fill this game-release-chasm with something, right? :)
I agree. I find these lists interesting and I love to see who they can wrangle up to provide lists each year.

I gotta stop reading these lists. Every time I read a list that has FTL on it I end up logging onto steam and playing hours upon hours more of FTL. BRB, I got some Mantis crew that need to tear up some zoltan pirates.

I do, and I'm sure a lot of people do. Some of these guys are people who have become part of the site's family of personalities and others, like 'e' here, are legitimately important people in the industry.
So great to finally see Darkness II on a GOTY list! While not my favorite of the year, I thought it was a damn good game

I doubt he would list a PS3 only game since he works for MS but even then Journey isn't everyone's cup of tea.
They occasionally talk about PS3 games on Major Nelson's podcast when they're playing one to talk about (I think one of the hosts of that show listed one of the Uncharted games in their GOTY list one year on the show), so it's not some taboo subject, but obviously his main platform is going to be 360.
Sorry, but Halo 2 was by and far the best Halo multiplayer. It's my Quake/Unreal/Counter Strike/TF2/etc. There haven't been so many amazing, memorable maps since H2.
The only really good H3 maps were High Ground and Valhalla, bother spiritual successors to Zanzibar and Blood Gulch respectively. Then maybe Sandtrap and Standoff being good, but not great.
Anything good out of Reach was either from campaign or a remake. (Though I will say Reach is my second favorite multiplayer after H2.)
Aside from Ragnarok, the only decent maps in Halo 4 are Haven and Longbow. Everything else is meh, or bad.
Good list, Dishonored, Walking Dead, Mark of the Ninja are all top notch!
Btw, thanks to the podcast I've also gotten some great tips from "e", from Amazon Prime a few yrs back (best.thing.ever) and FitBit; love the gadgets portion of the show!
@jasondesante: I doubt he would list a PS3 only game since he works for MS but even then Journey isn't everyone's cup of tea.
I am an old school gamer and after hearing all of the ravings about how moving it was I picked it up. I played all the way through the first section of the game waiting for the magic, the hook. It wasn't there for me.
Spelunky gets some love. Well deserved! Such a great, frustrating, anger inducing, great great game!
who would have thought Journey would be left out of this guys list. Fez was on Xbox live, and not on this guys list either. Kinda lame. Actually super lame!
Halo 4 has the best MP of all the Halo games, it's a shame the GB guys didn't enjoy it as much.
great list. I have been thinking about giving The Darkness II a try. I kind of forgot about soon after it was released.
Eric "e" Neustadter is the Xbox LIVE Operations Gaming Ninja. Yes, that's actually his title. I've seen his business cards. He's spent the last 11-and-a-half years working on Xbox LIVE, and his Gamertag--e--was the first one created. You can find him on Twitter as @thevowel, and you can hear him weekly on the Major Nelson Radio podcast.
The following are his Top 10 titles of 2012. These are not his 10 "best", but the 10 titles that he had the most fun with during the year. To be eligible, the game had to come out in 2012 on the platform he played it on. They're listed in chronological order by release date.
Was The Darkness II really this year? It seems like it's been longer--but Wikipedia says it was this year, so we'll go with it. I enjoyed--and finished--the original and was excited to dive back into Jackie's story. Do you enjoy comic books? If so, the ripped-from-the-comics story here is right up your alley. It had the magic quality that kept me from putting it down because I wanted to know what happened next.
The powers that you gain as you progress through the game are interesting and a blast to use. Objects in the environment can be utilized for some really entertaining kills (fan blades!).
I love games that inspire competition and smack talk between friends. Trials Evolution did that in SPADES. There was back-and-forth with my boss that just might wind up impacting my review someday. My Twitter feed was full of leaderboard screenshots going to and from @jack_p and others. The original Trials HD was an outstanding game, and with Evolution the developers addressed my only serious complaint--the difficulty spike. Evolution has a much smoother learning curve.
The fact that Trials Evolution was able to get me to play a single level OVER AND OVER AGAIN to improve my time by .01 seconds is a testament to the magic that they've captured.
I've read all the comics, and I'm an on-and-off watcher of the TV show. I'm a fan of zombie stories in general, yet I didn't get around to playing the game until very recently. I'm not normally a big fan of this style of games, but TWD is so good that I didn't care. You'll be really upset by some of the choices that you'll have to make, and that's something special.
Spelunky was probably responsible for more rage and obscenities pouring from my mouth than any other game in 2012. I LOVE IT FOR THAT. I'm not normally one for intensely difficult games, but for some reason I've always had a soft spot for roguelikes.
Every time I die in Spelunky, I feel like it's my fault and not the game being unfair. That's a tremendous accomplishment in game design. All the information I needed to survive was on-screen, I just wasn't paying attention or interpreting it properly. That's vastly different than knowing what I need to do, but being unable to execute it (whether it's because I have bad reflexes or because the controls are questionable). Except for the dark levels--SCREW THOSE.
I missed Mark of the Ninja entirely when it came out. I didn't first play it until my Extra Life marathon, when it was a game I was sponsored to play. It turns out that I love it!
Mark of the Ninja has a spectacular style. The graphics and audio are both top-notch, and fit each other beautifully. I really love the mechanic of guards hearing you being more important than them seeing you. That's what a ninja game should be all about. The controls are also really tight and intuitive.
I'm proud to say that I backed FTL back when it was on Kickstarter. A roguelike in space? Sign me up!
(It's the second roguelike on my list--I thought 2012 was the Year of the Bow, but perhaps it's Year of the Roguelike?)
FTL is the ultimate "just one more playthrough" game. You might not want to play it when you're alone, as you can easily find yourself losing entire evenings.
What's not to love? Borderlands introduced us to the amazing, colorful world of Pandora. It was a co-op romp unlike anything I'd played before. Borderlands 2 brings more of what I loved in the original to the table, but ramps everything up to 11.
Better graphics. Better controls. Even more insane weapons. Possibly the best co-op experience of this generation (although that's a lofty claim and really needs a list of its own).
Many times developers have revisited favorite games from my childhood. Rarely is it successful. Any developer considering doing such a thing needs to play XCOM:EU over and over again. Not only is it a brilliant game, but it's faithful to the 1994 original at the same time.
I think the highest praise that I can give XCOM:EU is to say that I expect I'll still be playing it years from now, much like I do with Civilization to this day.
Dishonored was my favorite new IP of 2012. It snuck up on me, too. Until seeing it demo'ed at E3 2012 I really didn't know anything about it. I walked away from that demo excited and curious, and they delivered.
In Dishonored the developers really delivered on the promise of giving the player choice in how to play the game. Want to finish the level without being seen? You can do that. Want to go in weapons and powers blazing? You can do that too. The powers you build during the game are interesting, and the story grabbed my attention.
I admit it--I'm a Halo fanboy. I've been playing the franchise since before the first game launched in 2001, and I practically had a second job playing Halo 2 multiplayer when I wasn't doing my real job. I've played all the games, I've read all the novels. I was really excited to get back to the story of Master Chief and Halo 4 didn't disappoint me.
The single-player campaign sets up some great themes for the new trilogy. While the Covenant are still around, there's a new enemy who you'll be very familiar with if you've read the Greg Bear Halo novels. If you haven't read them and love good sci-fi--do it!
The multiplayer is--in my opinion--the finest Halo multiplayer yet. It's an evolution of what's come before, and is the most fun I've had playing Halo online in years.

I was writing a small database application which allows users to import records in plain text files to an Access database. One of the problems I faced was that different users will have different formats: some are tab delimited, some are comma delimited; some have fixed width fields, while others don't. You can use a switch statement to deal with them, but when the number of formats increases, so does the ugliness index of your code. To make it more difficult, more often than not, you don't know what the format will be at coding time.
So, I needed to support customized formats; it has to be flexible enough, yet could be easily understood by the application. It looked like a daunting task, until I came across the idea of Regular Expressions.
It's very simple to use, since there isn't much in it other than the idea of using Regular Expressions. The demo project contains two formats described in formats.xml, and two sample input files. You need to:
//Read Formats Supported XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ArrayList), new Type[] { typeof(flex_format) }); TextReader r = new StreamReader("formats.xml"); formats_supported = (ArrayList)s.Deserialize(r); r.Close();
OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog(); //Stuff the dialog's file filter with formats supported foreach (flex_format format in formats_supported) { dlg.Filter += (dlg.Filter.Length>0?"|":"")+ format.description + "|*" + format.suffix; } if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { load_list(dlg.FileName); }
private void load_list(string file_name) { flex_format format = null; //Determine the file format by file name suffix foreach (flex_format fmt in formats_supported) { if (file_name.EndsWith(fmt.suffix)) { format = fmt; break; } } listView1.Clear(); //Stuff the listview columns with field names foreach(string field_name in format.entries) { listView1.Columns.Add(field_name); } //Now read the content of the input file textBox1.Text = null; StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(file_name); while (true) { string line = reader.ReadLine(); textBox1.Text += line+"\r\n"; if(line == null || line.Length == 0) break; //This is where the regular expression is used Match match = new Regex(format.pattern).Match(line); if(!match.Success) continue; ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(match.Groups[1].Value); for (int i = 2; i < match.Groups.Count; i++) { item.SubItems.Add(match.Groups[i].Value); } listView1.Items.Add(item); } }
<anyType xsi:type="flex_format" description="Car Speed Record Database" suffix=".spd" pattern="([^\t]+)\t([^\t]+)\t([\d\.]+)\s*(mph|km/h|m/s)"> <entries> <entry>Make</entry> <entry>Model</entry> <entry>TopSpeed</entry> <entry>Unit</entry> </entries> </anyType>
The class flex_format stores description, file suffix, Regular Expression pattern, and an array of field names in an XML file. How flexible could the file format be? Just as flexible as Regular Expressions. Combined with XML serialization, you have a very concise solution to support flexible text formats. More importantly, you can easily add support of a new format without changing your application.

American Optimism Lowest Since 1979
(CBS DC) Fewer than four-in-10 Americans (39 percent) rate the US in a positive manner — the most negative feedback the country has produced since 1979.
A new Gallup poll finds that Americans are as negative about the country's prospects as they have been in more than three decades. Americans are more upbeat in their predictions of where the U.S. will be in five years (48 percent positive), but this is the lowest rating since an August 1979 Gallup poll was conducted.
The negativity about the current state of the US has a politically partisan split — Republicans stated that the country's best days have already passed and Democrats say the best days have not happened yet. Seventy-five percent of Democrats gave positive reviews of how the nation will be five years from now, but only 15 percent of Republicans were positive — a 60 percent partisan gap.
Independents break 48% for 5 years from now, and 39% now.
Democrats are apparently enthused that 5 years from now they'll still be unemployed and living off the government teet, as the economy stagnates much like Europe and America's debt is in the $20 trillion range.

Herzlich's courage is true inspiration
On Tuesday, among the pomp and pomposity, among the too-tight, look-at-me dresses, among the goofy outfits and the need-to-be-seen moments of desperation that make up Super Bowl Media Day — among all the silly, needy, celebrity-culture markers that marked the buildup to the big game — was something out of place, something almost quaint, something actually incredible.

An honest-to-God miracle.
Forget the woman in the red dress, or the guys dressed as super heroes and other costumes. Forget the silly questions, the rude questions, the ridiculous questions — hell, for just a moment, please, forget even the football questions.
Focus on Mark Herzlich.
The 24-year-old New York Giants linebacker stood surrounded by more media than a player who recorded 12 tackles all season usually would warrant. But that's what happens when, landing in Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI and suddenly overwhelmed by the moment, you tweet this:
"2 yrs ago I was told I might never walk again. Just WALKED off plane in Indy to play in The #SuperBowl. #TakeThatSh*tCancer."
Take it indeed, cancer. And, for the rest of us, let's savor it. Because beyond the final score of the game Sunday, or the heroics or lack thereof of Eli Manning and Tom Brady, or the ballooning brilliance of Tom Coughlin or Bill Belichick — beyond any of it — rests the fact Herzlich will play in the Super Bowl despite two years ago being told he likely never would run again, if he survived at all.
The story is all too familiar. A good man finds out he has cancer — in this case Ewing's sarcoma, a rare bone cancer — and faces what too many face every day: an early battle with mortality.
Yet the story's details are all too rare, and wonderful. That man overcomes, turns pain into a weapon, turns his love for a game — how can those who turn their noses down at sports call them silly in this light? — into survival, into thriving, into a testament to the human condition that an actual play in an actual game never can touch.
Herzlich was an All-American college football player at Boston College when the diagnosis came in 2009, but when the doctor slapped the MRI up before him he was just a guy suddenly grappling with whether or not he'd be alive in a few months.
The cancer surrounded his entire left femur. The doctors were clear. If it had spread, which they did not yet know, they were looking at a 10 percent survival rate. If it hadn't, he was still at only 60 or 70 percent. As for football? That was over.
"I love my doctors," Herzlich said Tuesday. "I kept the same doctors the whole time and I trusted them. But I knew my doctor knew cancer, but he didn't know me and he didn't know what I was capable of. And I did."
This is what he was capable of: He knew the speed of recovery after survival — if he survived — depended on how active he was. So during chemotherapy, he lifted weights, did cardio, kept himself in shape — he swallowed the sickness and the horror and worked out for a future in football while fighting for a future at all. And at two months, when it was time — really, it was time — to operate and remove that femur, he said no.
"I had the chemo for two months and then I was supposed to have surgery to remove my femur and take out above and below where the tumor was," he said. "That's where — I don't have a percentage but most people do that. I decided that would give me zero shot at ever playing again, so I wanted to go with the — I wouldn't say more risky because there's no data, but the path less traveled — and went with radiation, which is not usually done."
Where does the first Giants-Patriots Super Bowl matchup rank among the 10 best Super Bowl games?"And I've had three or four doctors I saw who said they would absolutely not do radiation on me and not put a rod through my femur because the cancer would spread and I would die within six months," he said. "I had to trust my doctors and go with my gut. I knew in order to actually be the person I wanted to be again I had to be able to do things like run around and play with my kids in the backyard or play football."
So he took the chance, despite those who should know better saying the chance would kill him in six months. Stupid, you say? Careless? Puts too high a focus on football at the expense of life itself?
I say Mark Herzlich, because he loves football — not the fame or the money or the things that become dust when you face death — but because he loves football itself channeled that love to somehow overcome a disease that takes too many of us too often.
He recovered. He went cancer-free. He gained strength. He went back to football. He went undrafted. He was signed, this past summer, by the Giants. And now here he was Tuesday, standing among the dignitaries and attention seekers and football minds and all-around glory of Super Bowl week glowing with the gift of life.
The man is an inspiration.
"Toughness, grit, determination," Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said in describing him. "The decisions he made with regard to his disease in terms of wanting to play and get back on the field. Those were not easy decisions for him to make."
Added offensive lineman Chris Snee: "Tremendous story. It just speaks to the type of guy he is — the courage. Obviously, he has had to put in so much hard work just to gain the strength back. It speaks to what type of guy he is."
It speaks to why we should celebrate Mark Herzlich on Sunday, regardless of how much he plays, how well he plays or who wins. We are all mortal. We will all face, at some point, the end of our time here.
And in that moment, at least, we would know that a 24-year-old who turned his love for football into a longer, better life, has shown us a more meaningful moment than any football game ever can.

Buy Jonny Negron's skull-crushingly great Drive print
I was a bit horrified to discover that I'd never before linked to the luminously sleazy work of artist and cartoonist Jonny Negron here on Robot 6. He's one of my favorite talents to come along in ages. Then again, with NSFW images like this and this and this as his bread and butter, I guess that's not too surprising. But that's not a concern with his gorgeous portrait of Ryan Gosling in Drive, Nicholas Winding Refn's instantly iconic neon-noir crime flick. Negron's selling 11×17 prints of the piece for the low low price of $7, thus proving himself to be both a real human being and a real hero.

In May, publisher Electronic Arts announced that it was closing developer Mythic Entertainment, effectively ending the studio's projects. Mythic was responsible for Warhammer Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and Dungeon Keeper on mobile.
This week, Mythic stated that one of its last projects, Ultima Forever, will be shut down at the end of August. Its online services will cease to operate, rendering the top-down, free-to-play RPG for iOS and PC unplayable. This comes only a year after its August 2013 release.
"This was a very difficult decision for us to make," a developer on the Ultima Forever forums said. "We've seen the game through ups and downs, and hope that you've enjoyed playing it every bit as much as we had making it! Through it all, it's been players like you who've made it all worthwhile."
To mark the last month of the game, the developer is implementing several gameplay changes that include:
- Significantly boosted Virtue and Reputation rewards
- Equipment degradation to be disabled (no damage to worn/equipped items)
- Increased drop rate of Gold keys
- The in-game store will no longer sell premium currency (Silver and Gold keys)
Ultima Forever was the most recent addition to the storied and popular Ultima series that began in the 1980s. The creator of the original Ultima series, Richard Garriott, has been working on other projects such as an RPG called Shroud of the Avatar which passed $3.5 million in crowdfunding in March.
You can still play Ultima Forever until August 29. Did you ever try the game? Let us know in the comments.

HISTORY of RAJPUT
Bhati Rajputs mostly reside in region of Jaisalmer and partly in border villages of Bikaner and some tehsils of jodhpur (Osian and Shergarh). Rawal Jaisal was descendent of the Yadu vansi Clan and a Bhati Rajput. Bhati Rajputs were chandra vansi Rajputs. Rawal Jaisal founded the city of Jaisalmer in 1156 AD. The new fort he built was on hill called Trikuta.
Bhati Rajputs were great camel riders and warriors. Their reign spread as far as punjab, pakistan and Afganistan. Their are certain monuments in Lahore such as Bhati gate which states their rule on Lahore which they conquered from Mahmood Ghazanavi.
The state of Jaisalmer was positioned right in the way of the route from Afganistan- Pakistan - Delhi. Taking advantage of this strategic position they levied taxes on the passing carvan. Bhati Rajputs were said to be great shooters with gun.
Sidhu, who are Sikhs has their origin from the Bhati Rajputs of Jaisalmer. Bhatti rajputs of Punjab and Pakistan have their origin from Bhati Rajputs of Jaisalmer.
According to the Rajput bards the Chauhan is one of the four Agnikula or 'fire sprung' tribes who were created by the gods in the anali kund or 'fountain of fire' on Mount Abu to fight against the Asuras or demons. Chauhan is also one of the 36 (royal) ruling races of the Rajputs.
Chauhan dynasty flourished from the 8th to 12th centuries AD. It was one of the four main Rajput dynasties of that era, the others being Pratiharas, Paramaras and Chalukyas. The Chauhans dominated Delhi, Ajmer, Ranthambhor. They were also prominent at Sirohi in the southwest of Rajputana, and at Bundi and Kota in the east. Inscriptions also associate them with Sambhar, the salt lake area in the Amber (later Jaipur) district. Chauhan politics were largely campaigns against the Chalukyas and the invading Muslim hordes. In the 11th century they founded the city of Ajayameru (Ajmer) in the southern part of their kingdom, and in the 12th century captured Dhilika (the ancient name of Delhi) from the Tomaras and annexed some of their territory along the Yamuna River. Prithviraj III has become famous in folk tales and historical literature as the Chauhan king of Delhi who resisted the Muslim attack in the first Battle of TARAIN (1191). Armies from other Rajput kingdoms, including Mewar assisted him. However, Prithviraj was defeated in a second battle at Tarain the following year. This failure ushered in Muslim rule in North India in the form of the SLAVE DYNASTY, the first of the Delhi Sultanates.
The city of Jhalawar is situated in the south-eastern region of Rajasthan, a region widely known as Hadoti (Hadavati), the land of Hadas. The Hadas are a major branch of the great Chauhan clan of Agnikula Rajputs.
In the 12th century A.D., Hada Rao Deva conquered this territory and founded Bundi state and Hadauti. Later in the early 17th century A. D. during the reign of Mughal emperor Jahangir, the Ruler of Bundi, Rao Ratan Singh gave the smaller principality of Kota to his son, Madho Singh, but when Sahajahan became the emperor, he issued a Farmaan in the name of Madho Singh, recognizing as him the King of Kota. The domain of the Hadas of Bundi and Kota extended from the hills of Bundi in the west to the Malwa plateau in the east, with a similar expense from north to south.
The State of Jhalawar was founded on 8 April, 1838, out of the Kota territory. Jhalawar state got rise as a result of a treaty between English rulers, Kota state, and Malwa state.
Kachawaha has been a distinguished Rajvans of the 36 Rajput Rajvans, well known person Ram of history is worshiped as god. Descendants of Kush, son of Ram were known as Kushwah (Kachawaha). Raja Suryapal founded Gwalior, Raja Vazaradama of Gwalior was a famous ruler of this vans.
In 10th century descendent of Varzadama Dulhe Rai founded the Kachawa rule in Rajasthan in 12th century. It is said Kankil became the ruler of Amber. Pajwan of Amber was the contemporary of Prithviraj Chauhan (1178-1192 AD.) OF Ajmer. was called the crown Sanwants of Prithviraj. He was killed in the fight to win over Sanyogita. Later in Amber Rajvans Raja Man Singh who showed his bravery from Kabul to far south, Gujarat and Bengal.
Kachawaha are the suryavansi rajputs, they reined over area in and around Jaipur. Present districts under them were Jaipur, Dausa, Sikar ,Jhunjhunu, Churu, Sawai Madhopur.
Rathore are the people from the west Rajasthan. Their area spreads from Marwar (Jodhpur) region, Barmer, Churu, Bikaner. They had kingdoms in Rajasthan, Jodhpur (Marwar) and Bikaner (Jangladesh), Nagaur. Rathore's have many gotras, most of these gotras are from the name of the great warriors of the past and gotras are being used by their family members. Some of these gotras are: Jodha, Bidawat, Banirot, Champawat, mertiya and so forth.
Rathore's were said to be the worshipers of sun. To understand the huge clan of Rathore's we will have understand their areas they occupy. Rathore's of Jodhpur were supreme in present districts such as - Jodhpur, Pali, Ajmer, Nagaur, Barmer, Sirohi. Rathore,s of Bikaner were occupant of the area that included districts Bikaner, Churu, Ganganagar, Hanumangarh.
These two states (Jodhpur and Bikaner) had many major and minor thikana's ( Thikana was the jagir and each Jagir included many villages as per the thikana). Each Thikana had a Thakur. Who in turn paid revenue to the Maharaja of the state and also provided with well trained soldiers to the Maharaja in Battle
Shekhawat are the most prominent of the all the Kachawahas. They are offsprings of the great Kachawaha Rajput warrior Rao Shekha ( 1443 - 1488). He ruled over the region called 'Shekhawati' , comprising of the districts of Sikar, Jhunjhunu, Churu.
He was son of Thakur of Nan Mokal Kachawaha and Nirwan Queen. He was born on 24 sept. 1433, at Amra Dhabai ki Dhani. Later in the memory Amra Rao shekh founded Amarsar.On death of his old father Rao Mokal, Rao Shekha took over the reigns in 1459, at that time he was only 12.
Shekhawt's and Shekhawati (area in which they reside) has given maximum number of soldiers to the country. And about 30,000 of this regions soldiers have died in first and second world war. Maximum causalities of soldiers in Kargil conflict were of Shekhawati region. This area is also recipient of the first Param veer chakra in India, which was won by Piru Singh Shekhawat of village Rampura beri (district- Churu). He was from 6th Rajputana Rifles. Most of the Rajput troops from shekhawati are enrolled in Rajputana Rifles, rajput regiment and grenadiers regiment.
Mewar is the oldest kingdom of the world. Mewar or Udaipur state was founded by Guhil 568 AD, and his descendants have ruled over the area ever since. Separated from the rest of India by mountains and dense forests, Mewar developed the spirit of iron discipline and stoic resolve, which was to become its most salient feature and to arm its determined resistance.
Sisodia, the major clan of Mewar since Maharana HAMIR SINGH I (1326-1364). Prior to that, since Guhil (569-586) founded the dynasty, the original Guhilot family ruled Mewar. However, in the 12th century, Chittor came under attack and the Mewar capital was relocated at AHAR. It was during this period that there was a FAMILY SPLIT. For reasons unknown, the breakaway occurred possibly towards the end of the reign of Rawal KARAN (RAN) SINGH I (1158-1168). Two of his sons, Mahap and Rahap, quit Ahar, possibly in anger that another son, KSHEM SINGH had been declared Karan's heir. Mahap established a small, independent kingdom at Dungarpur. Rahap defeated Mokal, the Paramara (Parihara) Prince of Mandor at SISODA. He established a junior branch of the Guhilot family at Sisoda, naming his clan Sisodias after the town, and taking the title of 'Rana'.
Sisoda, a town about 15 km. northwest of NATHDWARA, which became the headquarters of the breakaway branch of the ruling Guhilot family of Mewar, naming themselves SISODIA after the town. See following entry, and MEWAR FAMILY SPLIT.
Genealogy: The line of succession of the Sisodia Ranas was Rahap, Narpat, Dinkaran, Jaskaran Nagpal, Puran Pal, Prithi Pal, Bhuvan Singh, Bhim Singh, Jai Singh and Laksha (or Lakshman) Singh.
Laksha was killed at the first sack of Chittor (1303), as was the ruler of Mewar, Rawal RATAN SINGH I. Laksha's grandson, Hamir succeeded him, and also the king. Thus the Sisodias became the ruling family of Mewar with HAMIR SINGH I (1326-1364), who replaced the age-old, traditional title of 'Rawal' with that of the Sisodias, 'Rana', extending it to 'Maharana'.
In his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, James TOD recounts an amusing story of the origin of the name Sisodia. He claims an old holy man near Bhainsrorgarh told it to him.
In these wilds, an ancient Rana of Chittor (actually Ahar, as his patronymic in this tale is Ahariya) sat down to a got (feast) consisting of the game slain in the chase: and being very hungry, he hastily swallowed a piece of meat to which a gadfly adhered. The fly grievously tormented the Rana's stomach, and he sent for a physician. The wise man (bedi) secretly ordered an attendant to cut off the tip of a cow's ear, as the only means of saving the monarch's life. On obtaining this forbidden morsel (the cow being sacred to a Hindu, the consumption of beef is therefore anathema), the bedi folded it in a piece of thin cloth, and attaching a string to it, made the royal patient swallow it. The gadfly fastened on to the bait, and was dragged to light. The physician was rewarded; but the curious Rana insisted on knowing by what means the cure was effected. When he heard that a piece of sacred kine had passed his lips, he determined to expiate the enormity in a manner that its heinousness required, and to swallow boiling lead (sisa)! A vessel was put on the fire, and half a ser soon melted, when, praying that his involuntary offence might be forgiven, he boldly drank it off; but lo! It passed through him like water. From that day, the name of the tribe was changed from Aharya to Sisodia (possibly after the miraculous dose of molten lead, 'sisa').
Told called it "an absurd tale"; as stated above, the name Sisodia was derived from the village of Sesoda in western Mewar. Author, Chandradioji Sisodia, writing in the time of Maharana Fateh Singh, paid the clan this eulogistic (and, of course, biased) tribute:
The noblest of the noble race of Rajputs, represent the elder branch of the Suryanvanshi (Children of the Sun) Raghuvansi, another patronymic derived from the predecessor of Rama from whom (as genealogists state), all the solar lines descended. The titles of many of these families are disputed. But the entire Aryan or Hindu race yield unanimous franchise to the Chief of the Sisodias, as the legitimate heir to the throne of Many, Ishwaku, Delipa, Raghu, Darasratha, and Rama, and style him 'Hindua Suraj' (sun of the Hindu race) and 'Yavadaryakulakamladhivarkara' (sun of the entire Aryan race). He is universally allowed to be the first of the 36 royal clans, therefore, as the crowning ornament of the Aryan aristocracy is quite beyond all question of rivalry.

(PARMAR, 2013-02-18 04:13)The Parmar Rajputs in Kathiawar, are mainly off shoots of the Sodha Rajputs who entered Kathiawar under Lakhdhirji, and settledin the area of Than-Chotila, which was then in turmoil. The Parmars were in conflict with the neigboring rulers, the Vaghelas of Wadhwan and the Chabhads (Chavdas?) of Thaan. However the strong-willed and courageous Parmars prevailed, and settled the present day town of Muli and spread out in the surrounding regions. They are worshippers of Mandavraiji (Surya), and are supposed to have migrated south from their former capital in the desert regions of Thar-Parkar. Parmars have been a wide spread and powerful Rajput clan, and have an important placein the Rajput history of India. Major Rajput champions such as Raja Bhoj, Raja Munj and Vikramaditya, hail from this clan. Their main informationis as below:
(Er. VENKATESH RAJPUT, B.Tech., Mechanical Engineer, 2013-02-17 11:23)I belonged to chhonker rajput , the yaduvansi rajput, ancestrally resident of village Ranhera , Tehsil Jewar,District Gautam Budh Nagar, UP. Basically the clan of chhonker rajputs are originated yaduvanshi rajput in which Lord Krishna took birth. The yaduvanshi rajput (chhonker rajputs) has been warrior. This subcaste of rajputs has principles. My great grandfather was a Jamindar. And My grandfather, Shri Lila Singh, was a Freedom Fighter. My grand father shri Lila Singh took active participation in the freedom struggle of the country. There are 34 villages of chhonker rajputs in district Gautam Budh Nagar, UP.

Rico Roman was approached several times about playing sled hockey.
The Army staff sergeant was hand cycling with a friend and fellow member of Operation Comfort, who kept telling Roman that he'd enjoy the sport. Roman, who had his lower left leg amputated after his Humvee was struck by an Improvised Explosive Device during his third tour of Iraq in 2007, was skeptical. Once he agreed, however, he couldn't get enough of the game.
"The thing that got me the most was being part of a team again," said Roman. "When you're injured, you're separated from the guys that you're like brothers to and you really miss that. To be part of an all-veteran team was something special. That's what made me think, 'I want to be a part of this.'"
[MORE: Blackhawks: Peter Regin getting more comfortable in role]
Roman went on to be part of the USA sled hockey team that won gold last month at the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. And on Tuesday night, he was one of the veterans honored and on the ice with Jim Cornelison for the national anthem prior to the Chicago Blackhawks game.
"Hearing them cheering like that and seeing our nation's flag up there, it brings such great pride," Roman said of the United Center experience. "In Sochi, to see our flag above the others, it always makes you feel pride."
Winning in Sochi was a thrill for several reasons. The triumph was obviously a big part of that. But so was having his wife, two children and mother there, thanks to a fundraiser USG Corp. and L&W Supply's employees and customers organized to send Roman's family to Sochi. Excess money raised from that fundraiser will be donated to Operation Comfort, which helped introduce Roman and other veterans to sled hockey.
While Roman said playing in the games was "truly an honor," his family being there was the biggest reward.
"With USG and L&W helping my family get there, that was probably the best part, even more than winning the medal," Roman said. "They hadn't seen me play on the national level, and to see me play on the paralympic level, it was something I'll ever forget and neither will my family."
[RELATED: After strong debut, Teuvo Teravainen earns quite the comparison]
Brendan Deely, senior vice president of USG Corp., was happy to be part of the cause.
"We're Oympic sponsors and we're certainly proud to sponsor Rico, and incredibly thrilled that he and Team USA sled hockey won gold, which we knew was going to happen from the beginning," said Deely, a veteran himself, with a smile. "Rico really inspires us. He's dedicated to what he does in his commitment and service, both to the military and Team USA."
It was a golden ending for a guy who finally caved to a game he now loves.
"I told them no a good handful of times. 'No thank you, I don't want to try it,'" Roman said with a laugh. "But they kept being persistent. I finally gave in and I'm so happy I did. If I wouldn't have tried this, none of this would've happened."

Hey all
So I figured its impolite to post around here without introducing myself first.
I was turned on to this site by David_Z's blog (shredding gnar snowboarding blog). I took up snowboarding last winter after a 10 year hiatus after a bad knee injury. I should have came back sooner but with college and no funds and busy schedule, moving south, blah, blah, blah....I didn't. Well Dave dragged me out onto the slopes last season and it was a blast. I was riding straight rental equipment with my Keen snowshoe boots. So needless to say I was a bit lacking in fun factor. But what it did do was reinstall my love of snowboarding. I started back in 93-94 and my first board was a kemper. I cant remember the model but it was a long noser with minimal tail and high back plastic bindings! It was cool I rode it for two seasons before getting a Rossignol 148 something or other in like 96-97. It was a twin that was way to stiff and some low back bindings. Either way; I am looking forward to this season. I live only minutes away from Alpine and hope to get out there at least once a week. I am completely torn on what board/bindings/boots to buy so I am sure you will see a lot of posts about it in the near future. |

Tired of being used!
I love people. Diversity is a passion of mine. Finding out how and why people do the things they do intrests me. I have a caring heart and am easily taken advantage of. Cheating is silly to me... just break up with the person. My 6 yr old son and cats mean the world to me. Education and humor are very important to me. I'm a psych nurse and work is very stressful but can be just as rewarding. I need a man who can hold me at the end of the day and make me feel safe. If ur not standing on the edge ur taking up too much space!
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing

I don't exercise regularly.
I have Cats
Some other viewpoint
My bed... yes you can have a dirty mind on this one. But I also love to read, cuddle, watching a movie or just play with my kitties.
My favorite thing is education! I love learning new things... I don't care who I'm learning from... my 7 yr old, TV, news, books, classes, travel, friends, strangers, family...
I'm up for almost anything. I love traveling, cruising, bowling, renting movies, playing outside with my 7 yr old son...
I'm reading The Green Mile right now... it was an installment book so it's easy to carry around. I'm obviously reading slowly... like when I'm waiting for something more entertaining to happen... LIKE YOU CONTACTING ME!

Rockstar Games have told Kotaku that they'll be experimenting with the downloadable content that is released for Grand Theft Auto 4 on the Xbox 360. "Rockstar doesn't seem sure that there are enough users with access to online content on the 360 to make it worthwhile for them to continue pumping out episodes" Kotaku reported. It seems that if it does well then they'll release more downloadable content for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. So if this test goes poorly does that mean that no content will be released for the PS3? We'll have to wait and see. Give us your thoughts below. More info on Grand Theft Auto 4... |

Creekwood has more attention than the economy, cancer, etc.Submitted by Guest276099 (not verified) on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 8:58pm.
I can't believe how many comments have gone to this article. More than any breast cancer awareness or recession article; hopefully it shows the local politicans that we want to preserve Creekwood....as it serves a great purpose!
I'll donate more tax money to keep the thugs in their own neighborhood. Kids in my neighborhood may egg a car or prank call the pizza company, but let's keep the crack in Crackwood!
