Police Raid Blogger's Home In Lost iPhone Case
Gizmodo editor Jason Chen, who last week posted photos of a next-generation Apple iPhone prototype, had his home raided by law enforcement officials exercising a search warrant on Monday.
The search warrant gave police officers permission to search Chen's home and seize property that was "used as the means of committing a felony" or "tends to show that a felony has been committed," according to information posted on the tech website.
"The officers had a computer and were cataloging all the items they took from my home," Chen told the AFP on Monday. "They told me they were here for a few hours already and had to break the front door open because I wasn't home to open the door."
Four computers, a pair of servers, some digital cameras, and a cell phone were among the items seized in connection to the prototype phone, which was reported stolen.
The fourth generation iPhone had reportedly been found by an unknown individual at a bar in Redwood City, then sold to Gizmodo for $5,000. Apple later confirmed that the device belonged to them and was lost by a 27-year-old engineer named Gray Powell. They asked for the device back, and according to Chen, it was indeed returned.
In a letter to San Mateo County officials, Gaby Darbyshire, the COO of Gizmodo's parent company, Gawker Media, accused law enforcement of violating state and federal law, stating that a "search warrant may not be validly issued to confiscate the property of a journalist."
"It is abundantly clear under the law that a search warrant to remove these items was invalid," she added, according to BBC News, demanding the immediate return of the confiscated materials. "The appropriate method of obtaining such materials would be the issuance of a subpoena."

For intellectual property lawyers, sting operations against counterfeiters of luxury handbags is what dreams are made of. An undercover sting - complete with a clandestine meeting at a Toronto gas station, undercover agents and hidden cameras - resulted in a trade-mark infringement award against a reseller of copycat merchandise such as Gucci handbags, Louis Vuitton and Hugo Boss items. In Guccio Gucci S.p.A. v. Mazzei, 2012 FC 404 (CanLII) the counterfeiter was slapped with an $85,000 damage award.
This was based on the rough math of infringement in Canada: damages of $3,625 per infringement against flea market vendors and "itinerant sellers"; $7,250 where the infringer is operating from a "fixed retail establishment"; and $24,000 against importers, distributors and manufacturers.

This is a suite of ten Gimp plugins known as the 'Resynthesizer'. The most commonly used is 'Heal selection' but all use the plugin whose full interface is found at 'Filters>Map>Resynthesize.'
resynthesizer.tar.gz is an archive for Linux.
Resynthesizer_v1.0-i686.zip is an archive for Windows.
The plugins require Gimp and Python. (Or, there exists a script-fu 'Heal selection' plugin that does not require Python.)
To install, download the appropriate file, uncompress it, and copy the files to the standard place for Gimp plugins.
Several Windows users think that installing Gimp plugins under Windows is hard.
As I was playing around with Inno Setup, I randomly chose these plugins, only because I had just a new Windows 32 compilation of them, and I release those first plugin installers without any warranty.
They should work on any Windows version, but I'm waiting for feedbacks.
These are automated Windows installers. Please, do not copy the setup files into your Gimp plug-ins directory!
Unless otherwise noted, the rights for the individual plugins are with their respective authors. Logo image by Jakub Steiner.

Could moly sulfide be the key to cheaper hydrogen production?
By Grant Banks
February 9, 2014
Chemical engineers have found a 30-year-old recipe that stands to make future hydrogen production cheaper and greener. The recipe has led researchers to a way to liberate hydrogen from water via electrolysis using molybdenum sulfide – moly sulfide for short – as the catalyst in place of the expensive metal platinum.

Gamers outshine computers in crowdsourced RNA modeling
By Heidi Hoopes
January 28, 2014
Results from the crowdsourced game and experiment, EteRNA, which combines RNA folding puzzles with laboratory synthesis, show that human gamers are able to develop better models of RNA folding than previous computer algorithms. Design rules formulated by the online community have even been used to construct a new algorithm, EteRNABot, and in some cases represent completely new understandings about RNA folding that have yet to be explained mechanically.

A team of theoretical physicists from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University is predicting that stanene, a single layer of tin atoms laid out in a two-dimensional structure, could conduct electricity with one hundred percent efficiency at room temperature. If the findings are confirmed they could pave the way for building computer chips that are faster, consume less power, and won't heat up nearly as much. Read More
Silicon/nickel water splitter could lead to cheaper hydrogen
November 18, 2013
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells can use sunlight to sustainably split water into hydrogen and oxygen, but efficient PEC materials tend to corrode rapidly in use. A Stanford research group has been studying this problem, and has found that depositing a thin layer of nickel atoms on a silicon PEC electrode allows it to operate for over 80 hours with no sign of corrosion. Read More
In their continuing efforts to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, scientists have began looking at alternative materials for those batteries' electrodes – materials such as silicon. The problem is, electrodes swell and shrink as they absorb and release lithium ions, causing them to break down over time. This is particularly true of silicon, which is brittle by nature. Now, however, scientists have developed a conductive elastic polymer coating for those electrodes, that heals its own cracks after each use. Read More
SCI-Arc students take 3D printing to the robots
October 21, 2013
Since it launched in 2011, the Robot House at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) has challenged students to create material forms of digital models by orchestrating complex robotic movements in space. But aided by the 3D printer they are breaking even newer ground. Students have begun concocting their own materials, which they can then fit with sensors to follow changes in the material as it is manipulated and, they hope, produce an appropriate response.

First laser-driven electron accelerator demonstrated
October 13, 2013
If Angus MacGyver was a particle physicist, he might face a challenge like this: Take a femtosecond laser and a fused quartz grating and make the world's most powerful particle accelerator. Despite the apparent incongruity of the resources and the goal, researchers at the US Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have fabricated a proof-of-principle electron accelerator using just such equipment. In the demonstration, electrons from a 60 MeV beam saw a force of acceleration about ten times greater than possible in a conventional accelerator. Read More

Stanford scientists build first carbon nanotube computer
September 26, 2013
In a technological tour de force, researchers at Stanford University have constructed a one-bit, one-instruction programmable computer on a chip using carbon nanotube-based electronics for all logic elements. Containing 178 carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, the computer is only able to carry out only one instruction, called SUBNEG. However, SUBNEG is Turing-complete, allowing the computer to run, albeit with an extraordinary level of inefficiency, any program, given enough memory, time, and programming ingenuity. Read More

New CEO for BlackBerry maker Research In Motion
TORONTO The new chief executive of BlackBerry maker Research in Motion said Monday drastic change is not needed after the departure of Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, who stepped down as co-CEOs and co-chairmen of the once iconic but now struggling company.
The RIM founders have been replaced by Thorsten Heins, a little-known chief operating officer who joined RIM four years ago from Siemens AG, RIM said Sunday.
The Canadian company turned the email smartphone into a ubiquitous device that many could not live without, but U.S. users have moved on to flashier touch-screen phones such as Apple's iPhone and various competing models that run Google's Android software. RIM has suffered a series of setbacks and has lost tens of billions in market value.
Heins said he didn't think significant change was needed and said the moves were not "seismic" ones. He said he was committed to the vision and new software platform favored by Lazaridis and Balsillie, who announced Sunday they would step down from the top jobs but serve in other roles.
Heins said RIM has to improve its U.S. marketing to go beyond the traditional corporate customer and attract consumers.
"In the U.S. we were very, very successful coming from the core enterprise business, and in the public opinion this is still where we're skewed to," Helms said on a conference call Monday. "We need to be more marketing-driven. We need to be more consumer-oriented because this is where a lot of our growth is coming from. That is essential in the U.S."
RIM said last month that new phones deemed critical to the company's future would be delayed until late this year. And its PlayBook tablet, RIM's answer to the Apple iPad, failed to gain consumer support, forcing the company to deeply discount it to move the devices off store shelves.
Many shareholders and analysts have said a change or sale of the company has been needed, but the sudden departure of the two founders from their top jobs wasn't expected despite their promises that they would examine the co-CEO and co-chairmen structure.
Balsillie and Lazaridis have long been celebrated as Canadian heroes, even appearing in the country's citizenship guide for new immigrants as models of success. They headed Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM together for the past two decades.
"There comes a time in the growth of every successful company when the founders recognize the need to pass the baton to new leadership. Jim and I went to the board and told them that we thought that time was now," Lazaridis said in a statement.
Lazaridis will take on a new role as vice chairman of RIM's board and chairman of the board's new innovation committee. Balsillie remains a member of the board.
The two remain two of RIM's biggest shareholders.
"I agree this is the right time to pass the baton to new leadership, and I have complete confidence in Thorsten, the management team and the company," Balsillie said in the statement. "I remain a significant shareholder and a director and, of course, they will have my full support."

My daughter Sun-Bun loves My Little Pony, and when I say love, I mean love in that sort of way that if it were possible for her to climb into the television and transport herself to the pony land of Equestria, I'm pretty sure she'd draw a cutie-mark on her behind and blow me a quick kiss good-bye. Sun-Bun is six and fortunately, many other girls at her school also enjoy the show. Sun-Bun has … [Read more...]
Three in the Bed: 12 Days of Christmas – Revisited
I've always enjoyed the song 12 Days of Christmas; it's a classic and easier to sing than Little Drummer Boy (ba rump a dum dum?). However, the song is long due for an update as I've never seen a partridge or for that matter, a pear tree, and if I had eight maids at my disposal, I can assure you, I wouldn't waste their time milking. Here's my thought on an update: On the first day … [Read more...]
Three in the Bed: The Real Horror of Halloween
I am so ready for Halloween to get here and not because I'm a big fan of it – although I do rate it above Valentines Day if only for the variety of candy options beyond boxed chocolates. I'm ready to get Halloween over with because I'm tired of seeing plastic pumpkins mixed in the same aisle as stuffed Santas and I'll be relieved when the last witch is wrapped up and we can all begin our … [Read more...]
Three in the Bed: Sickness and Chaos
I'm sick. This is a change from my usual rant of I'm sick and tired as in, "I'm sick and tired of making nut-butter sandwiches." Presently I'm sick with a yucky cold and laryngitis. Well, I'm sick as much as Moms are permitted to be sick. It takes a lot for Moms to be excused from Mom duties. I've known Moms who packed lunches while they were in labor, Moms with the stomach flu who … [Read more...]
Three in the Bed: Playing With My Kids' Food
I have a confession to make. I was going to put it in the Winesday Confessional but it was too odd, so I'll share it here instead so I can elaborate a bit. I pack beautiful lunches for my kids. I know, it's – weird. Well, you would think it was weird if you saw the state of my kitchen or me in my pajamas at 6am using a toothpick to carve a message into a banana for Sun-Bun. You might also … [Read more...]
Three in the Bed: My Life is a Sandwich and I am the Bologna
I am writing this post next to my Mom's hospital bed. Three days ago she had open heart surgery. After two days in intensive care she is starting to recover. I am so grateful and proud of her strength and courage, if I ever attain half her resilience by age 74 I'll have done well. Assisting my Mom through her recovery has put me in the middle of a sandwich: the needs of my aging parents are … [Read more...]

keep the links of the people you follow on a notepad or txt… thats what i do . Its not a nice lotion , but it works
it's not active way Bat anyway thank you indeed for your replay.
The follow feature feels like something Envato never got around to fully implementing, I hope they upgrade it to it's full potential someday.
It could be a very awesome feature, but for now, it's just kind of a status or a nice guy thing.
Example: I have 6 items on PhotoDune, 0 sales, but 14 followers… go figure XD

Re: Jib sheet knots
'Old school' has a lot of experience to have as back up.
I have 2 seperate sheets, tied with a bowline. I have seen a genoa sheet come apart.
Slip knots like the above clove hitch can slip and slide along and a bowline will not slip.
I was told 2 seperate sheets as if one fails, the other is already tied on. I think this is good seamanship for safety reasons.
As to the knot weakening the line, I agree and every 18-24 months, I shorten or turn around the sheets. As to thickness, I use as thick as the car and winch will take. My Genny sheets are 16mm - just for the sake of my hands. When stretched, they seem about 14mm thick.
Its just what I do, its great to see what others have.

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- A bombing and a shootout caused deaths and injuries on Saturday in Russia's tense Caucasus region, Russian media reported, citing local authorities.
Two militants were killed and two police officers were wounded in a shootout in the republic of Dagestan, according to Ria Novosti and Itar-Tass.
A car bomb in that republic killed a police officer and injured other people, Interfax reported.
In the nearby republic of Ingushetia, two militants were killed when the men opened fire at police after their car was stopped for a security check, Itar-Tass reported.
This comes days after suicide bombers launched an attack on the parliament in nearby Chechnya and killed at least three people, officials told CNN.
Vladimir Markin of the Russian Prosecutor's Office said two police officers and a civilian died in Tuesday's attack. Six other officers and 11 civilians were wounded, he said.
Rebels in Chechnya started out fighting for independence in the 1990s, but in recent years, the fight has been aimed more at imposing Islamist rule and asserting their authority in the area.
In recent years, the insurgency has moved to the east and the west to the republics of Dagestan and Ingushetia, where rebels are fighting troops to destabilize the region.
The conflict dates back nearly 20 years, with Chechens having laid claim to land in the Caucasus Mountains region. Thousands have been killed and 500,000 Chechen people have been displaced from the fighting.
The standard of living in the southwestern republic is poor compared with the rest of Russia. Unemployment is rampant and infant mortality is high. In addition, the Chechen population of about 1 million is mostly made up of Sunni Muslims, who maintain a distinctly different cultural and linguistic identity from Russian Orthodox Christians.

If you have never played a Halo game, get yourself acclamated with the controls before you go too far. The path is pretty straightforward, so it's nearly impossible to get lost. Proceed until you reach a waterfall, where a Phantom will fly over you. Take a right at the waterfall and hop over the tree trunk for a glimpse at some Grunts. Quickly run behind the two rocks in the stream and plug a few of them with your Assault Rifle. Your soldier buddies will try and help out, but don't be surprised if they aren't really carrying their own weight. You'll soon learn that NPCs aren't very helpful in this game. A Brute Captain will appear, so take him out first and grab the Brute Shot left behind. Any remaining Grunts will scatter, so pick them off. Press forward, passing two metal shelters on the right. A Phantom will rise overhead and drop some Grunts and a Brute down into the body of water below. Stay up on the high ground and eliminate the Brute with your Brute Shot. You can use Plasma Grenades dropped by the Grunts from before here. Once the coast is clear, drop down and grab the ammo. We can move on to the left, but first you should probably grab the skull in this area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKULL: Blind ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is definitely one of the easiest skulls to find in the game. Once past the metal structures where the first few enemies were found, drop into the small pool down below (the location where the Phantom dropped all the enemies). From there, head to the right and walk along the cliffside. In the far right corner, you should spot a large rock jutting out of the cliff if you look down. Jump onto the rock to find the skull placed on the edge of the oddly-placed rock. Simply press the Right Bumper to pick up the skull and have it registered on your system. You can drop it afterwards. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to the pool where the enemies were and move to the left. Use the rocks as cover to pick off any Covenant forces beyond. The Brutes here will use Bubble Shields to protect them. Remember that no weapon can pierce the bubble. You can either wait until the shield lowers or jump right into the fray and enter the bubble to take out the foes inside. Follow the soldiers into a small cave after scrounging around for ammo. Fall down the shaft and move on until you reach a very open, dense area. Stop moving and look to the ledge on the right. A Grunt will pace back and forth, then fall asleep with his back turned to you. Jump over the chasm onto the ledge and swiftly melee attack him for an instant kill. There is a very large amount of enemies down in the ridge, so you will have to be careful during this sequence. If you turn around, you will notice two purple boxes that contain Carbines and Spikers. I suggest keeping the Brute Shot and picking up a Carbine in exchange for your Assault Rifle. Right next to the weapon supply is a cave leading downward. Follow it to reach ground level. Hide behind the rock next to the Carbine supply. Now it's just time to make the first move. What I did was zoom in with the Carbine on a glowing blue energy container across the ridge (should be next to some purple boxes). It is highly explosive, so shooting it should take out any Grunts or Jackals nearby. The firefight commences, so now it's all up to you taking cover while picking off any enemies. Keep using the rocks and trees as cover and watch out for any enemies that happen to flank you (especially Kamikaze Grunts). Remember that there is a Carbine supply near the entrance to the cave that you can always use to get more ammo. The only other thing I should let you know is that there are Carbine-wielding Jackals on the cliff to the right, so either snipe them or simply avoid them until you get get up to their level. After finally clearing out the ground floor of bad guys, collect any ammo and grenades, then start up the ramp. Watch out for the Brute Captain that likes to hide in the corner to the left. Wipe out the enemies in front (if any) and continue to the next area. A Brute on top of a tree trunk bridge is readying to slay a soldier, but stop the madness by taking out the Brute first. There is a Jackal Sniper to the left of the bridge and some Grunts to the right. Kill the sniper to the left and run under the bridge to find a ramp leading upwards. Cross the tree trunk bridge and duck behind the rocks. There are a few Grunts, some Jackals, and a Jackal Sniper. Nothing to worry. Eliminate them and move on to find a Brute Captain. Spam your Brute Shot on his ass, then proceed through the cave. Drop down the ledge to get a very annoying interruption from Cortana. These are common in the levels, so get ready to be annoying by her constant blabbering. Exit the cave. =============== Charlie Foxtrot =============== Move forward to reach a ledge above a large area. Pry the Battle Rifle from the hands of the dead soldier and drop down. Things are pretty chaotic down here, so stay in the backfield and try to go unnoticed when you pick off any enemies with your Battle Rifle. A soldier will note the group of a Pelican that docks near the two metal bunkers. Unfortunately, it is shot down soon after. A Phantom flies in, so take cover in the bunker. Shoot the gunner on the side of the Phantom and hide from the gunfire until it flies away. Zoom in with your Battle Rifle and look across the river. There are some Jackal Snipers stationed in the trees and the rocks, so snipe them with your rifle. Now exit the metal bunker and hide behind the odd metal structure on the dock. It's right past the two bunkers and has two large wheels on the top. Snipe the Jackal Sniper on a ledge near the big building as well as the Grunts. The Brutes will probably throw up Bubble Shields, so we will have to confront them head on. Pass by a third bunker and take the trail to the left of the massive boulder. Eliminate the two Jackals here and the pair of snipers on the ledge up above. Once at the building, hide behind the crates and various structures when fighting the Brute Captains. The soldiers and the Arbiter will help you out, but make sure to use the Plasma Grenades to stick onto the captains. There are about three Brutes here, so be careful. Take a left at the end to find another Brute Captain on a big rock near some Grunts. Blast him with your Brute Shot as you quickly run back against the wall. There is a Jackal Sniper down the path that can easily take you out if you stand still for too long. Snipe the Jackal on the treetop and rid yourself of the remaining Grunts. Once the coast is finally clear, follow the Arbiter back into the forest. The next area is dense and filled with Jackal Snipers that, like snipers should, hide in very high places. You will find them on ledges, tree branches, and anywhere that is hard to spot. Move with caution and be slow when going through this section of the forest. There are only two or three of them here, but that's enough for you to bite the dust. Follow the Arbiter until he makes a right at the far end of the forest. Before turning right, peek out from the rock and look up at the ledge. Take out the sniper here and also kill the one on the ledge to the right of the first one. The Arbiter will run through a canyon, but don't follow him. Instead, look to the ledge on the right of the path he goes down. Look up and kill the sniper here, then jump up and head to the sniper's position. Ah, now you can start sniping the bad guys yourself! There are plenty of Beam Rifles scattered around in the previous area, so hopefully you picked on up. If not, the Battle Rifle will suffice. Shoot the Brute Captain on the ledge across from you and snipe pretty much anything that moves (other than your friends of course!). There are more snipers here, so make sure to check the trees and rocky outcrops. After defeating as many Covenants as you can, drop down and press forward. There will most likely be some stragglers including a Brute Captain, but you should be able to handle him. There is a Phantom deploying Grunts to the right, but don't worry about that for now. Look up on the mountainside beyond the Phantom. Snipe the Jackal here and then head out into the clearing. A trail leads up to the right, so peek out from the rocks and toss a grenade at the group of Grunts. You may get lucky and take out the Brute here as well. Look past the enemy squad and up at the cliffside to find another Jackal Sniper. Chances are he'll find you before you find him, so just follow the bullet fire to locate his position. Go forward and look at the edge of the cliff at the downed Pelican. It may be destroyed, but it left behind loads of weapons. Drop down the cliff and pick up some ammo. Grab the Frag Grenades, Battle Rifle ammo, and Sniper Rifle in place of your Beam Rifle. The Arbiter will run to the right of the crash site, so follow him towards a metal bridge. Use your Sniper Rifle to take out the Brute Captain wandering around, then use the Battle Rifle to clean up. Cross the bridge and kill any remaning enemies, then walk down the trail that slopes downward. You will soon come to a cliff overlooking a large factory. This is where the fun begins. ============ Quid Pro Quo ============ This factory is filled with enemies, and unfortunately a lot of those enemies are Jackal Snipers. The only source of cover you have on the cliff is the small tree to the right, so you will have to be very quick with your shots. Most of the snipers are on the roofs of the buildings, but there is one in the cylindrical structure past the buildings. I believe there are only four snipers, so pick off the Brutes here as well. Make the Brute Chieftan one of your primary targets. He is donned in black armor and holds a Gravity Hammer. He should be on the bridge on the northern end of the factory. His armor is very powerful, so knock off his helmet and aim for a headshot. After clearing out most of the enemies, drop down from the cliff. Ditch the ammo for a more close-range weapon such as the Needler. Take the stairs ahead and enter the building. A Phantom will drop some more enemies onto the dam, so you can either take them head on or flank them. If you want to do the latter, leave the building and look for another doorway to the left of the entrance. This tunnel will take you under the dam and onto the other side, where you can launch a sneak attack. Either way, deal with the Covenant forces on the dam. Whether you are on the surface or above, make a left and take out the Brutes and Grunts in front. Take shelter in the in the alcoves on the right and use the red cylindrical devices as cover. It should not take too long to wipe out the enemies here. As a result, you can safely look for the next skull here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKULL: Iron ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stand on the dam where the Phantom dropship left all the Covenants behind. Hug the right side and jump up onto the ledge where the Jackal Sniper was waiting. It is to the right of the roofed in section. Walk across the metal grating and use the metal structure to jump up onto the ledge. There is a sniper up here, but hopefully you killed him from before. Walk to the other end and make a left until you reach a dead end. The skull is tucked away in a tiny nook in the corner of the ledge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drop down from the ledge and enter the building at the center of the factory. Press the Right Bumper to deactivate the shield and rescue Johnson. Your next mission is to stay alive until a Pelican can come for support. As soon as you lower the barrier, run back to the dam and hide behind anything you can. If you have your Gravity Hammer, stay put. If not, then keep your distance from the dam. Enemies will drop down onto the dam, and you can surprise a Brute Captain and his Grunt lackeys with your Gravity Hammer. If not, keep back and take them out from afar. It can get pretty nasty since the Phantoms like to stick around and use their own cannons on you, so always remember to take cover. You only have to deal with two waves of enemies while your buddies destroy the Phantoms. Once the Phantom is destroyed, wait around for reinforcements to show up. Hop inside the Pelican to end the level. ============================================================================== 3.02] CROW'S NEST [0302] ============================================================================== ================= Know Your Role... ================= You will start off in base camp. No time for mission briefing, it's time to search for a skull! Chop chop! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKULL: Black Eye ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the start of the level, go straight ahead towards the back end of the room. Once facing the green and yellow door, turn around to spot a mesh rack of sorts. Jump onto the rack, then get up onto the thin, red support beam. Carefully hop up from the beam to the large pipe suspended by the cables. Walk to the end of the pipe to spot the skull. Psh, that was easy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we are rarin' to go. Drop down and go down the stairs to the lower level. The soldiers are so nice, that they will even show you the way to your next destination! Aw, makes me feel kinda bad whenenver I smash one over the head with the butt of my gun. :) Pick up a Battle Rifle off the rack while the soldier opens the door in front of you. Jump up the ledge and enter the building, then open the door. Walk down the tunnel as the two goofball soldiers follow you. Open the next metal door to watch a Warthog get blown up. Fun! The metal shields here are pretty nice, since they make for good cover and also have eye slits so you can shoot enemies while still being protected. Kill all the Grunts and Jackals that stand in your path, then do the same the Brute up not too much farther along the room. Enter the opened door on the left side, just past the Brute. There is a squad of Grunts and three Jackal snipers at the end of the hall, so make your life a lot easier by tossing a Frag Grenade their way. Grab a Carbine in place of your Assault Rifle and take the path to the left. Enter either door up here: they both lead to the same gigantic docking bay. I would have preferred more of a stealthy approach, but your two companions will most likely barge in and freak everyone out. Grab one of the Machine Gun Turrets on either end of the docking bay and use it on the Grunts and Jackals here. There are some more down on the lower levels hiding behind the Deployable Cover, but destroy them and kill the pansy Grunts. Also take note of the green barrels that are glowing orange in the center. They are explosive, so use them to your advantage. A Phantom will eventually unload some Brutes and Jackals, but you have four Machine Gun Turrets here. Two more Phantoms will drop down enemies, but if you lie in wait and plug them with your Machine Gun Turrets as they are dropped down, then they stand no chance. A Pelican will dock once the enemies are cleared out and all of the crew will hop on board. Of course, you have to stay behind and complete your mission. *sigh* Okay, now we have to backtrack to the ops-center. Exit the docking bay the same way you came in and go through the hallway again. Backtrack through the area where the Warthog was destroyed and continue through the tunnel. Ugh, I hate backtracking. Eventually you will come to an open door, so proceed through to find another soldier. Drones will swarm out of the open air vents and fill up the cave. They are very frail, but they are quick and come in LARGE numbers. Use an automatic weapon such as the Assault Rifle or the SMG to deal with them. I suggest the SMG, which can be found on the weapon racks on the left and right side of the cave. Make sure to always take cover since each Drone holds a Plasma Pistol, and that is a lot of shots you have to dodge. Use any Deployable Cover from the docking bay here. Once the Drone infestation is dealt with, drop down the ledges and continue through the door. Ha, it's fun rustling through all of their dead bodies. ================== Gift With Purchase ================== Three soldiers greet you at the entrance of the hallway, so walk past them and go up the stairs. If you want to be a big meanie, you can steal the wounded soldiers' weapons. Walk towards the door surrounded by the soldiers and grab a Shotgun off of the rack to the left. Open the door and do the same with the one down the ramp. Man, I wish I didn't open that door. This room is filled with baddies, and they happen to all be Brutes. One is a Brute Chieftan as well, so keep your guard up. Your first order of attack against this squad of Brutes is to get the high ground. Walk forward and pick up a Grav Lift near the totaled truck. Place it down and use it to reach one of two catwalks above. Hide in one of the rooms here as the Brutes will try and hunt you down. Hide against the rack on the side of the room and wait for Brutes to enter the tiny room with you. When they are at the entranceway, pop out and blast them with your Shotgun. Doing so removes their armor, leaving them open to a melee attack. The Brutes usually pair up, so shoot both and whack 'em with your gun to ensure instant death. The room on the left has a Battle Rifle, so you should probably head to that room eventually. Not all Brutes are dumb enough to rush into the room; some stay outside and try to attack with their Spikers. Counter by using a Battle Rifle to pick them off. Repeat this nifty strategy until there is only one Brute left -- the Brute Chieftan. His Gravity Hammer can cause some serious pain, so going toe-to-toe with this monster is not a good idea. Keep your distance from him and use your Battle Rifle to aim for the head. I have used many unintelligent strategies against this guy, but some proved to be helpful. If you're daring, spam your melee attack over and over again so he can't get one hit off you. It's risky, but effective. Oh, and pretty dumb. Pick up the Gravity Hammer and take it as your prize for wiping this entire room clean of Brute scum. Before leaving, take another Grav Lift: you'll need it shortly. Exit via the door at the right side of the room at the very end. Fall through the shaft at the end of the tunnel to enter an air duct. Drones will pop out of the pipes, but just ignore them and run forward. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKULL: Grunt Birthday Party ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, don't drop down the air duct. Walk to the end and peer down the hole. It is hard to see, but there is a pipe directly below the ledge you are standing on now. However, it is possible to drop down and land on the pipe. The second you drop down, press back on the Left Analog Stick to hopefully get on before falling down the shaft. That is the hard way to get this skull. The easy way is to drop down and put the Grav Lift from before near the wall. Now just ride the Grav Lift into the pipe. Walk to the end of the pipe to find the skull. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exit the air duct and drop down into a new room. Open the door to watch a soldier get chucked into a pillar. Definitely lol-worthy. Turn to the right to see three Brutes interrogating a soldier. Climb up the ladder to the upper level and toss a Plasma Grenade at the one in the center to kill him and badly injure the other two. Pick them off from above, then stay up in the upper floor while dealing with the enemies. You can even enter the vents and deliver sneak attacks, but that is not recommended. Stay on the upper floor and wipe out the ongoing threats. Eventually you will have to make a right down the hallway. Jump from the bunker where the Brute Captain was onto the catwalk above, then climb up the ladder into the vents. Equip your Gravity Hammer and run to the end of the vent. Once at the dead end, drop down and slam the Brute Captain here with your hammer. There is another Brute holding a Plasma Cannon down the hall, and he can pose a real problem. Take cover behind the pillars and boxes and use the Brute Shot dropped by the captain to deal with him. The soldiers and the Arbiter will always help out, so sometimes you just have to take cover and let your buds deal with the problems. The Brutes tend to drop Bubble Shields, so use that to your advantage. There are around three Brutes that help out the Brute Captain with the Plasma Cannon. This fight is pretty tough, but use some Frag Grenades and Brute Shots to help clear them out, then pick off the weak ones. Take the Plasma Cannon with you and open the door at the end of the hallway. In the next room, open the elevator and wait inside as it takes you to the second floor. You'll finally end up outside, where a group of Jump Pack Brutes will rage war against some stragglers. Use the Plasma Cannon to wipe out the first three or four, then run up the ramp on the right to reach a door. You can't open it yet, but eventually it will open to reveal another group of Jump Pack Brutes. Use our Plasma Cannon to shoot them dead. They probably don't even know what hit 'em! Go through the room to reach the observatory above, where you can find a Battle Rifle and a Cloaking. Pick up both and jump out of the window down to the floor again. A Pelican will land and take the soldiers away, but walk to the other end of the room and walk down the stairs. Head past the dead Drones and into a hangar. ============================ Last One Out, Get the Lights ============================ Go past the vehicles here (I wish I could drive an 18-wheeler in this game) and through the door to get interrupted by Cortana again. Open the door in front to face a Grunt behind a Plasma Cannon. Melee attack him and detach the cannon, then proceed down the ramp and mow down the trio of Jackals. Take out the Grunt behind the second Plasma Cannon and take a left. Shoot the Jackals wandering around aimlessly and use the vehicles for cover as you target the next two Plasma Cannons. Remember that you can use the second one if you run out of ammo. Destroy both and move towards the crates. The next room is a bit bigger and like before, holds two Plasma Cannons. Use whatever gun you have to target one of the gunners while hiding behind the big green crates. You can also use grenades to blow up the cannons in one big explosion. Also target the sniper duo on the catwalk above. Once the room is cleared out, exit through the door to the left. Open the door up the ramp to reach base camp! Gosh, we just went in a GIANT circle, didn't we?! However, the room is filled with Brutes and a Brute Captain. They won't notice you at first. If you haven't already, use your Cloaking. While invisible, ready your Gravity Hammer and walk right next to one of the Brutes standing still. Smash him, then quickly repeat with the second Brute. Clear out the few Grunts here and run back up the stairs and behind the weapon rack. There are two more Brutes here. One is a captain that is holding a Fuel Rod Cannon, and the other is behind a Plasma Cannon on a ledge high up in the room. Use the Brute Shots dropped by the enemies to target the gunner. The Fuel Rod Cannon blasts shouldn't hurt you if you stay behind the mesh rack at all times. Now use some grenades to destroy the Brute Captain or blow him up with your Brute Shot. Activate the large bomb behind the captain's corpse. Great, now we have to escape! Go down the stairs and ignore the Grunts along the way. I mean, they're just trying to run for their lives too! In short, you have to return to the docking bay from the beginning of the level. If you don't remember how to get there, just follow the arrow. There are many Grunts along the way, but they don't really do anything other than run in circles. It's fun to run around with them in a panicked state. Once in the docking bay, make a beeline for the hangar on the right. Run past the Jackals and the silly Grunts and enter the elevator at the end. Hit the switch to get out of there just in time. Phew! Or maybe not... ============================================================================== 3.03] TSAVO HIGHWAY [0303] ============================================================================== =================== Full Contact Safari =================== The garage here is totally destroyed, save for a few Warthogs. Go through the doorway on the left and enter the Warthog. The other ones will hop in the Transport Hog. I suggest taking the driver's seat: the soldiers are good gunners but aren't the best drivers. It's nice to know that you aren't a sitting duck if you get caught in enemy fire, so I suggest taking the wheel. Drive through the cave and drive past the Jackals and Grunts. You could try running them over, but they will probably just dive out of the way. Drive through the door to enter a large field. Drive down the dirt road past the destroyed Phantom and ride under the remains of the Halo. When you reach the two Jackal Snipers near the destroyed sniper post, run one over and take the Beam Rifle in exchange for your Assault Rifle. Drive past the next set of Covenant and follow the trail to reach an open plain. This part is pretty tough. From the start, run over the Brute Captain and any of the Grunts to the left. Don't go any farther with the Warthog, because there are snipers and turrets scattered about. Hide behind the big boulder nearby and snipe the sniper on top of the post on the left. Also snipe any Brutes you see down on the ground. Now take your attention to the right side of the area. A Shade turret is positioned in the center of the pond. It's high up on a rock, giving you a good spot to aim. Ignore the turret itself and wait for the turret to turn around, then shoot the Grunt controlling it. On top of that, you will have to avoid two Jackal Snipers positioned on the dam and one on the sniper post. Snipe those three once you get the chance. The only other enemies left should just be some Grunts, so get back in the Warthog and run them over. There is a second Shade Turret on the dam, so either snipe the gunner or toss a grenade at it when close enough. Use the trail on the left to ride past the dam and grab one of the Beam Rifles dropped by the sniper on the dam. Continue through the clearing. You'll reach another big area with several buildings. Ride past the Chopper explosion towards the nearest metal building. Pick up the Shotgun and shoot the Brute that is on the other side of the house. He was on the roof but most likely fell down. Use your Beam Rifle and Battle Rifle (that can be found in the big bunker to the left) to snipe any enemy you spot. If you are a skilled sniper, you can successfully kill the Brutes that

Has Kendall Jenner grown too big for her britches?
The 18-year-old model and reality star reportedly exhibited diva behavior last Monday when she allegedly tried to dine and dash out of Mercer Kitchen in New York City when her waitress wouldn't serve her alcohol.
"Kendall got up and left and didn't pay for all the food . . . about $60 worth, and without a tip," a witness told the NY Post.
After she allegedly tried to ditch with friend Hailey Baldwin, her server, Blaine Morris (who plays Betty Nardone on Skins), chased her down to get the money she failed to leave behind. But witnesses claim the reality star didn't take too kindly to the server's request.

"Kendall and Hailey started laughing," the witness said. "Kendall took a couple of $20 bills out of her wallet, threw them at the server and walked away, not even counting if it was enough or if it included a tip ."
After being disrespected by a member of the Kardashian klan, Morris took to Twitter to express her frustration. "That horrible moment you chase a Kardashian down the street because she forgot to pay her bill to be thrown money in your face," the waitress tweeted.

Although Jenner's rep didn't comment on the alleged restaurant infraction, Baldwin's rep addressed the snafu by saying it was a misunderstanding.
"They thought everything was paid for," the rep said. "Kendall was polite and asked 'Does this cover it?' They didn't run."

Brian Hagens' long-awaited return to the hardwood arrives next week.
Cal State Northridge's junior forward is expected to become eligible to play this week, making his debut at Ohio State on Monday. The last time the 6-foot-7, 225-pounder played in an official game was during the 1995-96 season at Porterville College when he averaged 17.4 points and 10.4 rebounds.
After his successful stint at Porterville, Hagens accepted a basketball scholarship to the University of New Orleans. But during his redshirt season (1996-97), he transferred to CSUN during the spring semester of 1997 after having arthroscopic right knee surgery and feeling homesick.
``I'm so eager to play and it is a feeling I can't really describe,'' said Hagens, a 21-year-old Long Beach Poly High graduate. ``I have been just wanting to play so badly.''
The versatile Hagens will add depth, height and strength to CSUN's frontcourt and is also a 3-point threat and a decent ballhandler.
The Matadors (2-3) are taking the week off for final exams. They have a two-game road trip next week, facing Ohio State on Monday and Ohio in its home opener on Dec. 17.
The break is great timing for CSUN because senior guards Derrick Higgins and Lucky Grundy are nursing injuries. Higgins has a lower back strain and a possible right foot stress fracture while Grundy has a bruised buttocks.
Shooting star: In just six games this season, freshman Edniesha Curry has 20 3-pointers for the women's basketball team. The Palmdale High grad is now three 3s shy of tying for 10th on Northridge's season list just six games into their season. The 5-5 guard ranks first in the Big Sky in scoring (18.3), steals (3.7) and 3-pointers (3.3) per game.
The Matadors (2-4) are coming off a 69-66 victory over Long Beach State last Sunday and host Pepperdine (6-1) on Saturday night.
Golf may be scratched: While the future of Northridge's men's baseball, volleyball, swimming and soccer programs are in question, the men's golf program has been away from the spotlight.
In the Big Sky Conference, men's golf is offered as a championship sport (not a core sport) and only five of the nine schools are participating. By the fall of 1999, CSUN must add men's tennis, which could cause the school to drop men's golf to prevent a gender equity problem. Also, Big Sky commissioner Doug Fullerton said on Tuesday that if two Big Sky schools dropped men's golf it could disappear as a championship sport.
``I'm still concerned because I don't have any clarity,'' said CSUN men's golf coach Jim Bracken, whose team will begin competing again in the spring. ``Even if (CSUN president) Blenda Wilson keeps the other sports, I still don't know our situation. We're basically in the same situation as baseball and the other sports.''
Flowers' legacy: When the NCAA Division I-AA football statistics crew completes updating its records by the beginning of 1998, quarterback Aaron Flowers is expected to be listed in the top 20 in many offensive categories.
Flowers, who became CSUN's all-time leading passer in just two seasons, is also expected to hold the record for career completions per game (25.1). The previous record was held by Iona's Tim Prodian (1993-95), who averaged 24.3 per game.

Lawmakers putting GSA's new conference spending rules to the test
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee lawmakers were expected to ask the agency's inspector general to look into the 14th Annual SmartPay conference happening this week in Nashville. GSA says all conferences must go through a multi-step approval process, including those already in the planning stages for 2012 and beyond.

Denham: GSA must 'justify their existence'
Current and former General Services Administration this week faced tough questioning from lawmakers on a $823,000 tab to taxpayers for a 2010 conference in Las Vegas. But this example of lavish spending is only the latest incident in the "horrible track record" at GSA and raises the question if the agency needs to be restructured or dismantled altogether, argues one lawmaker.
