While it was safe to assume that another AC/DC tour would be in the works after the release of their follow-up to 2008's Black Ice, it never hurts to get confirmation from drummer Phil Rudd. Rudd sat down with Australia's "Today Show" recently to discuss his upcoming solo debut album, and naturally, AC/DC came up. Not only did he say that a tour is on the way, Rudd also said that, "We'll probably all have to be dead before it stops…You'll never stop Angus, mate." I guess that answers any lingering doubts about the bands future after the recent reports regarding Macolm Young's health surface. Rudd's solo album, Head Job, comes out August 29. So far, there hasn't been info about the anticipated release date of AC/DC's latest studio effort, but biographer Jesse Fink did say in an interview with WDHA's "Morning Jolt" that the album is, "as good as Black Ice, if not better."

Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night throughout the month of October, including Halloween and Saturday, November 1st, Paxton Manor opens its doors to those who are brave enough to walk her haunted halls and descend into the caverns of her basement.
The History of The Carvers
Over one hundred years ago Jedidiah Carver was found guilty of unorthodox acts of animal husbandry. For these crimes his lands were seized and he and his family were cast out of the Town of Leesburg.
Homeless, he moved his family to the caverns that lie beneath Paxton Manor. Here they dwelled for many years. Things went well for The Carver family and they thrived and multiplied. Though as time went on things began to go wrong…

Game Question & Answers
Answer from: Weilei
I think to score 1 milliom points, without boosts, headstart, magnetm shiield, etc. And no picking up green gems. And no ressurection
Answer from: Jake Hurd
Just finished that objective after testing different methods. You cannot touch any power-ups that you will encounter (sadly, this includes gems), and you cannot use any double-tap powers if you want the achievement. You CAN, however, revive your runner should they meet an unfortunate end, and still qualify for the achievement. When you reach 1,000,000 points, DO NOT touch any of the power-ups or double-tap until you die, or the game will consider your run invalid. I would suggest upgrading your score multiplier to maximum if you can, this will make the amount of time you need to avoid the upgrades far less. Good Luck to all who try! You'll probably need it...
Answer from: Person
Easy, Just do what you regularly do, just don't get any power-ups. (You can still collect gems)
Answer from: AinsleyM
I just got "The Spartan" on Android Temple Run 2. I ran 3600 meters, used Save Me twice and collected one gem. I also have the $5 2x coin bonus. This is definitely easier than original Temple Run. So, yes you can collect gems. Yes you can use "Save Me." No idea whether Karma Lee's score bonus ability counts as a power up.
Answer from: Sushi
Green gems does not impact the achievement
Answer from: Zelda
The green gems don't effect the bonus on the iPhone either!
Answer from: Qwereeeeerrrtyy
Don't collect gems or power ups until u die
Answer from: nii
I got this just now by using save from death once (and also colected gems along the way)
Answer from: CyBot
I used a double-tap power after reaching 1M and was still awarded the achievement
Answer from: sai
Hey guys ! it's pretty simple ! you should not collect amyany power ups like magneto , speed run etc but u CAN COLLECT THE GEM ! and should use the double tap power up ! without these u should score 1,000,000 points ! that's it :-)
Answer from: OnlineFuture
You have to score 1 million points without collecting any power up tokens while running and you CANNOT use your powers that you tap the screen to use. You can collect gems and use revives to make it easier though. So SCORE 1 mill points in one run, no power ups used at all, revive as many times as you like. Once you pass the million points you can collect and use power ups again. I recommend getting save me leveled up as far as you can so that you can revive yourself at the cost of 1 gem to make life easier. If you are still struggling get some coins and level up the score multiplier, the higher your multi is the less distance you need to run to make that million. Collecting coins also increases your score. Also you can collect gems as they do not count as a power up. Hope that helps I will try and rewrite the spartan to make it a little more clear.

'No sail, no fly zone' lifted after failed N. Korea rocket launch
More News from Chona Yu, Matikas Santos
More News from INQUIRER.net, Radyo Inquirer 990AM
MANILA, Philippines—The National Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) lifted the "no sail, no fly zone"for the 590 square kilometer area east of Luzon following the failed rocket launch of North Korea Friday.
NDRRMC Executive Director Benito Ramos said they opted to lift the ban because the rocket fell into the Yellow Sea near China five minutes after the launch.
Luzon was one of the areas where debris from the rocket had the launch been successful may have fallen, prompting the government to set up contingency measures.
But Ramos said, "The area where the rocket fell is far from the Philippines."
Ramos said they also lowered the red alert status in the coutry to blue.
But Ramos said that while the "no fly zone" has been lifted, it was still up to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to implement it.
In a separate radio interview, Joy Songson, CAAP spokesperson, said that rerouting scheme for airplanes in the affected area would continue until April 16.

25 houses razed in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu cities fires
FOUR fires that hit the cities of Cebu and Lapu-Lapu cities in two days destroyed at least P1 million in property.
Seven houses were razed when a fire struck sitio Baka, barangay Apas, Cebu City, before noon yesterday.

Chief Insp. William Tacaldo, Cebu City Fire Marshal, said they were still investigating the cause of the fire.

Damage was pegged at P350,000.
On Tuesday afternoon, 18 houses were razed while three others were damaged in a fire in barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City.

Aztecs relaxed entering Mountain West tourney
Win or lose, SDSU gets Big Dance invite
No. 2 Aztecs vs. No. 7 Utah
MWC quarterfinals
When: 6 p.m. today
Where: Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas
On the Air: The Mtn.; 4SD only on Cox; 600-AM
Today's other games
BYU vs. TCU, noon
Colorado State vs. New Mexico, 2:30 p.m.
UNLV vs. Air Force, 8:30 p.m.
LAS VEGAS As San Diego State presses on in its journey of uncharted waters and unexplored territories of college basketball, it encounters yet another new and exciting species in the Las Vegas desert: the meaningless conference tournament.
In the 11 previous editions of the Mountain West Conference Tournament, the Aztecs needed to win to get into the NCAA Tournament, or at least thought they did. Even in 2006, after claiming the regular-season conference title, experts predicted they needed a win or two in Las Vegas to secure their NCAA place and coach Steve Fisher admitted being "nervous."
But in 2011, there are no such frayed nerves, no anxious feeling in the pit of their stomachs, no hourly trips to Joe Lunardi's ESPN "Bracketology" web page to see whether they're among the last four in or first four out, no bursting bubbles.
At 29-2 and with a No. 7 national ranking, they're in no matter what happens at the Thomas & Mack Center in today's 6 p.m. quarterfinal against Utah, or a looming semifinal matchup against UNLV on the Rebels' home floor, or Saturday's final potentially against BYU.
"We're much more relaxed than last year," captain D.J. Gay said.
Which means exactly what?
It could mean that, devoid of desperation, the second-seeded Aztecs are upset and go home early. Or it could mean that, devoid of desperation, they play looser and freer and roll through the tournament like dice across a craps table.
Some coaches prefer the former, playing the ends of their benches liberally, coveting rest and more practice time ahead of the NCAA Tournament instead of three hard games in as many days.
Fisher isn't one of them.
"We're going to Vegas to see if we can win three games and win the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship in back-to-back years," said Fisher, whose team beat Colorado State, eighth-ranked New Mexico and UNLV to claim the 2010 title. "That's important to us. We want to win it."
An interesting approach, considering the Aztecs probably have the least to gain.
Top-seeded BYU has the motivation of proving to the NCAA selection committee it still deserves a No. 2 seed after the dismissal of Brandon Davies, its best big man. UNLV is trying to avoid the dreaded 8/9 seeding line (and a game against a No. 1 in the second round). New Mexico and Colorado State are playing to get into the NCAA Tournament. Utah and TCU might be playing for their coaches' jobs.
If SDSU is playing for anything, it's another shot at BYU.
ESPN's Lunardi, considered the pre-eminent reader of NCAA Tournament tea leaves, has had the Aztecs firmly entrenched as a No. 3 seed for the past two weeks. On Wednesday, he essentially said they'd need to meet and beat BYU in Las Vegas to have any shot at a higher seed and — the big prize — a berth in the West Region with Sweet 16 games in Anaheim.

I'm fairly certain they're going to be using the career system, albiet a modified version of the career system.
I hope not too modified. The career system as is, is a good one because you can change careers if you get bored of your current one. Then you dont have to have 6 different types of fighter combinations you are trying out to see which one works best. You can just change your current career path and go a different direction with your character it just costs experience points and money, how much, depending on how drastic the change is.
My starting class would have to be the Bounty-Hunter because then I could do a career exit to a Assassin and then exit again to a Witch-Hunter after getting the assassin part developed fairly well.

The carrer system is a pretty good system.
I hope they will add more carrer and diversify it...and add depth to them.
However, let's face it, the carrer system mean that a long term player doesn't need to group and solo extremely well, which I am all for, but is Mythic for such a system?
I think it would be good for once to have a system where the noobs need to group because they are to weak to solo and the experienced players solo...
Solo would become a reward. But I am not Mythic and I don't make such a decision. I know for sure SoE would rather died than do such a system. It would be agaisnt their very soul I guess. :P But Mythic, maybe, it would definitely be nice to see a system that doesn't trash soloers and actually encourage it, yet not at the expense of grouping. Solo missions could even have the GREAT rewards but if you are not solo fail it automatically, alarm or whatever that make a lot of folks come and make a group fails...anyway, just an idea. (By great I don't means better, I mean the best solo reward, something a soloer would never even consider to improve as far as solo is concerned (well the last reward of the line I mean, the progression to it should be logical and progressive with easier mish and rewards)).

I don't think they'll use anything that makes the game lean towards solo play. It wouldn't be in the spirit of Mythic, and it definitely wouldn't be in the spirit of Warhammer. Warhammer is all about tactics and wars, which will be right up Mythic's ally.
I think they'll probably have roles that people play in pvp combat (hopefully RvR) like squad commander and such, so that people actually involve tactics into the game.
I think there should be a nice balance between solo and party play. Warhammer the miniature game is all about tactics and strategy but the RPG contains ways to be a solo player if you want. Certain character careers almost demand you be solo most of the time. Assassins and Necromancers come to mind. I think that it would be beneficial to everyone if Mythic incorporates the careers system so that certain careers work better as solo while others are best in groups. That way everyone is happy. I play solo most of the time because i cant play for hours on end and that makes others angry when i have to sign off in the middle of a quest or something and they are counting on me for help. i certainly hope Mythic is as faithful to the RPG version of Warhammer as is possible for a MMORPG because the way it is works out well for everyone. Complete with insanity points and Chaos mutations that are virtually permanent.

I just hope it keeps the flavor or the Warhammer universe and that classes like Rat Catcher and Bone Picker exist.
I agree, I hope they keep all of the possible careers but I know some will get axed to save money and learning curve.
I hope they keep the career system intact mostly. Where you choose from 1 of 4 character types: Academic, Warrior, Rogue, and Ranger. These will determine what attributes are important to you. Once you have chosen how your attributes are alloted, you will be given a list of starting careers you can enter based on what your attributes are and what character type you chose. Once you choose a starting career you have several advanced careers you can work towards for that starting career.
The cool thing about this, is the fact that if you decide, once you get to your advanced career and you decide you dont like it and no other career exits for your field look good, you can start over in a new field entirely. The downfall to this is it costs alot of experience points and you have to meet the attribute requrements and if you are purchasing attributes that are not a part of your current career scheme then you pay alot more for them. (Experience Points in this game are used like currency to buy the attribute upgrades and skills you need to meet the requirements of the career you are working towards) Also what makes this difficult is the fact that even if you were a high level warrior going into a wizards apprentice starting career, you have to use the wizards apprentice skills, attributes, equipment, and attacks to gain any experience in that field.
For instance: If you are fighting and decide spells arent cutting it and whip out your sword and kill a monster, because thats what you are good with due to your previous career, then you get little or no experience for the kill because you didn't really use any wizard skills to accomplish the task. And yes you do keep all your attributes and skills from your previous careers. You dont get experience as a warrior either because your in a different field now and no longer earning exp for that. So even if you were extreamly tough before you may find it difficult in another career due to having to use different attributes. You would still be much more powerful than someone just starting out as a wizards apprentice, of course, because you would have higher general attributes than a beginning person. I am pretty sure you do lose some attribute points though, if you for example went from warrior to wizard such as toughness and weapon skill etc. because you are going from being very physical to being an academic type. But I cant remember if that is true or not but it makes sense to me. Maybe you people know the answer to that.

No, in Warharmmer you didn't lose stats.
If you have 10 endurance as a warrior, you will still have 10 endurance as whatever else you work on. However, it is highly unlikely that it will ever improve again assuming you already get the +4 or at least a +3. Only a few warriors carreer give the +4.
Once you buy some stats, you can only improve them after finding a path that allow you to buy a bigger bonus.
Some epiclike quest may grant you a stacking permanent bonus, but those never decreases.
Warhammer was definitely hard on low level soloers, but a high level soloer was definitely very friendly. Like I said, I have no idea if Mythic will respect that. Warhammer background is not even half as developped as D&D and Turbines was not afraid to betray many major aspects of D&D, including the soloing and the GBT!

Hard to say which route mythic will go. But it personally hope they go the PnP class advancement route. Its something different from the norm we see in most MMO's.. And its fricken Warhammer! It will also be intreasting to see how they handle magic. Magic is not a friendly force that everyone throws around like it is in other worlds.. The old developer of Warhammer online stuck pretty close to its roots. I hope Mythic takes that same path, and doesnt just make DaoC 2 in the warhammer world. ( even though i love DaoC)
I have to say I agree with you 100%

Thanks for the info.
(If anyone didn't understand my rambling between 6 and 8...6 is the favoured number of Slaanesh while 8 is the favoured number of Khorne, both mortal enemies inside Chaos(units will always try to be of that number or a multiple of that number and will not be of their enemy number, so a Khorne unit who have 2 casualties will kill 1 of their own rather than remaining 6(not in the middle of the fight, they need to have the time to understand they are 6))...it was meant as an initial tease toward the 6-person group standard and associating it with Slaanesh LOL...but eventually, Warhammer adopt the Hexagon system and copyright it, which is pretty much ironic IMO).

"She turned me into a newt!" "A newt?" "....I got better....."
Man alot of people need to stop talking about this game. Ya'all are scaring me right outta it. When I heard that they were going to try to make warhammer online again I was totally for it. Then I hear that mythics creating it and I'm like oh god no. But I also know how games workshop is about their stuff since I used to talk with my game supplier everyday about crap like that so there is hope that it won't be like DAOC. Also from almost every post that I've read it sounds like everyones gonna be chaos. Now chaos is cool and all but I really hope mythic puts in some kind of population cap so we don't end up with another albion where you can't fart sideways without hitting a chaos member.
Now I got a concern about some of the topics in this thread like, what is the obsession with solo'n? I mean bloody hell, this is a mmo. MMO. That means massive multiplayer online. Mythics entire goal in daoc was group activity. Thats why you had the group display, ability to flag LFG, each class having theyre advantages and disadvantages. That what the ML's were for. Arty raids. Darkness rising and that CO5 crap. Why pay 15 or so dollars a month on a MMO if you're going to solo. Get a game like D&D or dungeon seige and solo that and save some money. Towards the end of my time on DAOC all I did for the last 3 weeks was solo and it drove me nuts. Kill monster, rest, kill monster, rest, kill monster.....
The way my friends and I have always played warhammer (and we're fanatics about it since it's our longest lasting rpg) is that you needed eachother cause someone else might figure out something you didn't. Even with the boardgames we would set up multi-army battle's. We may have the empire/dwarves/wood elves verses chaos/skaven/orcs or my favorite in 40k was the blood angels/dark angels/empire vs. chaos/necrons/dark eldar for a massive 34000 point battle.
Oh by the way I don't know how many of you have seen the new rpg rule book but they change the whole character creation deal....
And yes they will have pally's in this game which if they go by the rpg career setup you would be able to get in the later advanced careers. Witch hunters go along the same lines.
Also I don't think I've seen mention in this thread but I seriously doubt this will be a foo-foo caerbear game. I can't remember the poster's name that keeps stating that but I see it every where and I'm really curious where he got that idea from with some of the other games. I can understand that people like to rvr, I do too, but rvr'n is pointless without pve cause then you can get your uber gear. Im guessing he came from eve or shadowbane where he camped lowbie spots on a regular basis simply to mug them, mock them, and rip them off which is typical poor sportsmanship.
Aaaaanyways I've lost track of what I was originaly talking about, it's been a long day at work. Yeah I hope that they have some good careers and I definitly hope that they have a similiar skill table too. I really want my dual weilding character in this game.
Chaos Undivided fantasy - 4300 point army and undefeated
Dwarves fantasay - 2100 point army
Orcs and goblins fantasy - 3275 point army
Blood angels 40k - 5700 point army

Second, Solo play should ALWAYS be capable, as well as optional. Make it easy to join a group, as easy as you can, I love the grouping system of CoH where your name pops up on a search screen where you can be invited from across the server to join. But at the same time, forcing people to join a group Stinks!!! If I only have half an hour to play one day, but I really want to play, I don't want to log on, and stand around for 25 minutes while the group leader tries to get a group together, and get to actually do some stupid quest for 5 minutes then have to log out when I barely got to go into the dungeon or whatever. Let me be able to go out and kill a could of little monsters and log off. Hell, I don't have to have a group of hunters with me to go out in real life and deer hunt why should I have to get a group together to go out and do something similar in a RPG? Because there are monsters? If that's the world you live in you learn to fight them, you don't live with 85 people to ensure your safty. African hunters go out alone and kill lions and such all the time, Eskimo's are faced with Polar Bears (one of the most ferocious animals on the planet I might add.) And although they may live in a community, they hunt alone. Hell, I personally know some cajuns that hunt in the depths of the Crocodile infested swamps, and they don't go out in large groups, they go at the most with one friend!!! Crocodiles can get up to 15 feet or better. And you're telling me I have to go out with a group of 10 people just to kill a stupid random animal in an MMO? you're insane. Maybe to hunt something as large as a Dragon, or a Giant, perhaps. But don't Force me to join a group.
By the way, MMO stands for massive multiplayer online, I don't see the words "Group" anywhere in that. It simply means there are more people playing that game than just you and you have the option of interracting with them. Just because my X-box or Playstation 2 has a second controller and the games I play allow two players don't mean I only play it when someone else is there to play with me!!!
That's inside the box style of thinking about a game, and it's not the way MOST people like to play. Not saying that many don't enjoy grouping, I love grouping. But I don't wan to be forced to group. Make it where you must group to face certain quests, or creatures. But don't force me to group just so I can go out and kill a goblin. After all we should all be capable of being heroes in this game, not just a random citizen. Where's the fun in being one of the most powerful random citizens in the Empire?
Bob, the greatist random citizen of the Empire. He sat alone in the town hall for hours waiting for someone to finally say they were looking for a crossbowman. He volunteered and found out they were facing Blikroth the local beastman. (this should be fun) he thought as he and his band of 20 men set out on their quest. They were only a few minutes into their journey when they bumped into a gobliin. They all set up, and as the wizard cast his sleep spell, they all rushed in save the archers and ranged artists. Bob was able to shoot his bolt directly into the goblins eye, and since the other eye had been put out by Jim the Paladin, the goblin was blind. Yet he still struck down Dan the Warrior and Tim the Spearman. This was one of the least of their problems, but they finally brought him down. As they awaited Dan and Tim's return from the healer's hut. They heard in the distance a Troll. "That's too large a monster for us." Said Jim the leader. So Bob and his friends ran toward town, hoping to catch Tim and Dan. As they met up, they quickly found the trail of the horrible beastman, as they set out again, they happened upon him resting peacfully under an oak tree. The archers and ranged artists fired their many weapons, and Jim the Paladin led the mighty charge. The Beastman raged and sliced down three or four of the band of 20, but finally on the last leg of many of the members of the hunting party Jim took a final thrust through the beastman's heart. The 105th blade to penetrate the heart must have been all the beastman could take. He finally fell to the feet of the remaining 14 men. (two logged out just after the battle ensued due to something called "Mom saying dinner was ready") And as the beast slowly deteriorated, Bob felt proud to have been a member of this great hunting party. They had slain a goblin and a Beastman. And although they ran from the troll, it was a job that took just slightly over 2 hours and 30 minutes. And Bob felt fear in his heart for if he ever had to face an Orc he knew he was in trouble, because a goblin was only half the size and strength. And Sigmar forbid any of them ever have to face a Minotaur, they were 5 times bigger than the Beastman, twice as strong as the Troll, and three times as bloodthirsty!!.

I don't know exactly how much Mythic will implement the career system, but I can't see them having Rogue and Ranger as 2 separate Archtypes. My guess is you'll see Academic, Warrior, Assassin (or something representing rogue/ranger), Priest (Yup. I think a support class will have to be added here somewhere for the sake of mmorpg game mechanics.)

Not flaming, but the "Priest" character may not be a priest. It's more likely to be a Wizard. Magic is very prominate in the Warhammer world. And even the Priests have magical ability. Although I have no idea what Academic is, perhaps that is what you're using for a wizard term, though I would think it was more of an Engineer or something. I agree that their will have to be some type of Ranger/Assassin class. Then a standard Warrior.
Solo is good for people who work 40+ hours a week because most times we only have an hour or two to join and play and cant take the time to join a large group who wants to play for 4, 5, or 6 hours and if you have to leave then they all get killed because they were counting on you to stay as long as they wanted to play. This provides a way for people with jobs to choose a character class that does well as solo to keep up with the more group friendly career types. I hate MMORPG's that require you to join a group to get anywhere in the game. I think grouping should be big part of the game but there should be classes that excell as soloists. (Necromancers, Assassins, Highwaymen, Etc.) I had to leave DAoC because I got to a point where I was required to group so that i could advance at a decent rate but its hard to make friends under those circumstances. I was given the optin of endless grinding to get to the next level or finding a group that would tolerate me. I chose to quit playing.
As for the reason i play the MMORPGs rather than the offline games is the PVP and the grouping when I am able.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
I absolutely hate multiple endings.
I like them , wing commander anyone?
So long as they make sense and the unlock requirements aren't hideously tedious (i.e. beat the same game the same way 5 times. That's not fun.)
The other thing that amused me was how they said it was a first for a main-title Final Fantasy game. Even if you do include the -2 (and CC/DoC?) games as main-title for XIII-2 to count, it forgets that V had a variable ending.
In V if your characrers died at the final bossfight they stay dead during the end, do I remember well?
Now that was stupid, and I'm glad the GBA version changed it.

Um...speak for yourself there buddy.
First of all, they ALREADY made a game that didn't have multiple branching paths. It was called Final Fantasy XIII. And trust me, branching story paths have very little to do with the quality (or lack thereof) of the storytelling.
I like multiple endings and the freedom of choice it allows. See, because unless they make a sequel to this game (And oh god, please don't!) the "cannon" ending would be "whichever one I choose." After all, you don't have to view all them if you do not want to (and in the age of multiple game saves, you often times don't even have to replay the game all the way through to see all the endings)
I do not, however REQUIRE games to have multiple endings.
Multiple endings are generally a good thing, when they're handled well. It depends on how extensive the branches are before them. If they're only influenced by things at the very end of the game, then I find it feels like a cop out. If its a game that is focused on player decisions, and the decisions you make throughout the entire game determine the ending, then having multiple endings fits.
I think in a FF game the good/cannon end should be the only one available on your first playthrough though.

Not so long ago Kevin McCarthy was working as an aide to his local congressman in hot, dusty Bakersfield, California. Now the genial 49-year-old is a new face of the GOP, selected by House Republicans as their majority leader after a whirlwind round of politicking prompted by last week's primary election upset of Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.
McCarthy's lightning-fast ascent to the No. 2 House job in just his fourth term is a testament to his political skills and talent for forming and maintaining relationships. Now he has the daunting challenge of working to unite a fractious House Republican caucus that's still in upheaval after Cantor's loss, with the most conservative lawmakers smarting over McCarthy's quick rise.
"I'll make one promise: I will work every single day to make sure this conference has the courage to lead with the wisdom to listen," McCarthy said Thursday after his victory in the secret ballot elections.
McCarthy has served as majority whip, the No. 3 job, and will be replaced in that post by Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the chairman of a caucus of conservatives in the House. Scalise adds a Southern, red state voice to a GOP leadership team otherwise populated by establishment-aligned Republicans from the West Coast and Midwest.
"I'm looking forward to bringing a fresh new voice to our leadership table," Scalise said.
But some of the most conservative lawmakers questioned Scalise's bona fides and groused that the new team is much like the old one. That could spell troubles ahead in a caucus where conservative rebellions have become routine and McCarthy and other leaders are sometimes at a loss to quell them.
"People told us they wanted a significant change in our leadership team, they wanted us to pursue a more conservative agenda, and I don't think grass-roots Republicans are going to be satisfied," said Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., who supported McCarthy's opponent, tea party Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho.
Conservatives could mount a new challenge after the November midterm elections, including taking aim at Speaker John Boehner, but Amash said that would be a tough climb.
Thursday's changes were set in motion by Cantor's surprise defeat last week at the hands of Dave Brat, a little known college economics professor. Brat's victory registered with a jolt of excitement to conservatives, yet the purists didn't have the organization to capitalize on their success, and McCarthy moved quickly.
Deploying an organization developed since he became whip more than three years ago when Republicans took control of the House, he swiftly contacted lawmakers over the phone and on the House floor, locking in their support and scaring off the competition.
One potential rival, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, decided against joining the race, while another, Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, deferred to a second Texan, Rep. Pete Sessions. Sessions quickly dropped out, saying it was obvious that a successful campaign would have created painful divisions within the party.
By the time Labrador jumped in, the California front-runner had amassed support from across the rank and file. He was aided by the fundraising prowess he has displayed since joining the leadership, doling out hundreds of thousands of dollars through his PAC to Republican House candidates and organizations.
McCarthy also drew on strong personal ties to lawmakers that he cultivates daily, from early morning workouts and bike rides to bowling or movie nights with fellow lawmakers. At dinners he'll go around the table drawing out new members of Congress by asking them to share the first concert they ever attended, or their most embarrassing moment.
"He's a hard guy not to like," Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said.
McCarthy, who sleeps in his Capitol office when in Washington, is known as a storehouse of political information, on voting patterns and district makeup, and of personal tidbits on lawmakers, like kids' names and alma maters.
He's also organized in his personal habits, according to Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., who shared a group house with McCarthy in Sacramento when both were California lawmakers. Once there was a break-in and McCarthy was the one to notice it, Denham said - others were too messy to tell.
McCarthy was first elected to Congress in 2006, after serving in the California Assembly - where he was chosen minority leader in his first term - and as an aide to Rep. Bill Thomas of his hometown of Bakersfield, who became his political mentor.
McCarthy was named chief deputy whip by Cantor in 2009 and became whip after Republicans won control of the House in the 2010 elections. He now becomes a contender to replace Boehner once the speaker steps aside.
McCarthy is the first House member to become majority or minority leader after serving fewer than five full terms in the chamber, said Eric Ostermeier, research associate at the University of Minnesota's Center for the Study of Politics and Governance.

The Burgas Province region
Ravda Village is situated approximately 33 km past Burgas and 4 km before Nesebar. Despite its proximity to big resorts such as Slanchev bryag (Sunny Beach) and Nesebar, Ravda remains a quiet place with a nice beach suitable for people of all ages. It is an especially popular holiday destination for families with children.
There are many legends that tell the story of how the village was founded and how it got its name. One legend has it that centuries ago shepherds settled in the region and the place was named after one of them - Ravadin. Another legend says that long time ago these lands belonged to a bad landowner who used to beat his workers with a stick called ravdas. Most interesting is the legend according to which the god Neptune fell in love with a beautiful girl called Ravdalina and wished to take her to the depths of the sea with him, but she refused. Infuriated by her reaction, the god sent a water storm to destroy the village, but the other gods prevented the disaster. Thus the big waves formed numerous coves.
An interesting place to visit in Ravda is the Church of St. Paraskevi. It was built in 1884 by two Greeks, Vasilios and Teodorakis, who worked together with the local people. The temple was restored in 1998.
Ravda beach spreads out on an area of 57 000 sq m and is divided in two by Cape Ravda. The southern beach attracts tourists with its nice sand, clean sea water, and various forms of entertainment, while the northern beach offers a quiet relaxing atmosphere. Ravda provides visitors with many opportunities to practice water sports such as diving, jet skiing, yachting, windsurfing, etc.
Ravda's immediate proximity to Nesebar, Slanchev bryag, Sveti Vlas, Elenite, and Aheloy allows for a varied holiday. People who are interested in cultural tourism can visit Nesebar. Slanchev bryag, which is famous for the various forms of entertainment it offers, is also nearby. Those who want variety can go to a different beach every day. The resorts are connected to each other by regular transport and the rides are very short.
Ravda provides many accommodation opportunities: there are hotel complexes, apartments, family hotels, rental rooms, etc. There are also many restaurants in the village and the majority of them serve seafood.
