REVIEW | The Walking Dead: Season 2 – Episode Four
Posted on July 30, 2014 AT 07:35am
Just when you think all will be okay, another disaster is just around the corner. The Walking Dead series likes to give off this feeling a lot, be it in the comics, on TV, and in their video games. This latest episode in Telltale's series, "Amid The Ruins," takes any single sense of hope Clementine and the rest have, stomps it down, and pisses on whatever's left.
"Amid The Ruins" starts off where we last left off, as Clementine decided to either hack off Sarita's arm or cut down the zombie attacking her. The group reconvenes at the meeting place, only for there to be more tension in the group (depending on which choices you make). Clementine then teams up with Jane to search for remaining survivors, only leading them into more danger and other turmoil. With Rebecca getting closer to giving birth, time is running out for the survivors.
There were points in this chapter where I instantly regretted my decisions. Maybe I shouldn't have chopped off Sarita's arm, or maybe I should've kept the medicine that Arvo was smuggling for himself to help out the rest of my group. However like Clementine I had to soldier through my choices and hope for the best in the end. As it turns out, like in most of this series' scenarios, the best is far from the grasp of these survivors.
At times it felt like Telltale Games was setting me up for failure, to see a character or two get bumped off undeservedly. Maybe that's the point of "Amid The Ruins": that in this world where the Walkers reign over the country, hope is not a thing with feathers, but a godless concept built up to create horror and disappointment in the end. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but when it comes to The Walking Dead they at least deliver it in a very well-written script.
This episode had its share of technical hiccups, though. On many occasions I noticed lip-synchs that were off, sometimes not happening at all. While the scenes did load a lot quicker there were some times where the backgrounds weren't loading fast enough, with trees popping out of nowhere as Clementine walked towards a building. Perhaps if they pushed the release back a week then these flaws could've been ironed out easier.
- Still telling one of the best stories out there
- Great character evolutions
- Tense moments build up the atmosphere
- Demise of certain characters leaves a bitter taste
- Voice synching issues in some areas
"Amid The Ruins" may tick you off with some of the sudden turns they place in front of you, but it doesn't take away from the fact that this is still one of the smartest video games on the market. With the way this one ends there's no telling where Telltale Games will be taking the final chapter this season. Whatever may happen next just hope you'll be ready to stomach the outcome that may come sneaking from behind, like the undead ready to pounce on its lively prey.
FINAL GRADE: 9.0 (out of ten)

Final Fantasy VII had the greatest opening of all time...OF ALL TIME!!!
Well okay maybe not but it's damn near one of my personal favorites. There's just something incredibly special about the way this game kicks off. The way it throws you right into the thick of things. It all begins simple enough, with a view of the stars and the camera panning around. It begins to slowly descend and the stars and sky fade to reveal green lights and a flower girl. The music creeps in and begins a slow buildup. The flower girl walks down a dark alley to arrive at the street. Vehicles of the futuristic variety drive past and several civilians are seen throughout. The camera slowly pulls backwards and upwards, the music still building. Farther and farther back it goes revealing a grand view of Midgar. Mako Reactors and the Shinra Building are seen clearly. The music kicks in and the title is revealed..."Final Fantasy VII".
I'll never forget how in awe I was when I witnessed that spectacle. It was just so wondrous and magical. At this point I'm soaking it all in and preparing myself for the hero to wake up in a town somewhere like most RPG's tend to do. Things will start off slow and than slowly begin to build from there. This wasn't one of those games.
As the epic score continues to blare, the scene rapidly cuts between the gorgeous view of Midgar and a high speed train. As it does this, the camera begins to zoom in more and more, following the train to its apparent destination. The train comes to a complete halt and two guards are stationed at the stop. The music picks up the tempo and you just know something is about to go down. The way the game seamlessly went from FMV into actual gameplay was absolutely mind blowing to me.
My mind is trying to process all these amazing things I'm witnessing, while two individuals emerge from the train and proceed to handily dispatch the guards. Two more people join the fray and one of them calls to someone. A certain spikey haired protagonist somersaults, one handed, over the train to land gracefully on the platform below. Everyone heads towards the buildings entrance, but the main character is met by two more guards. You enter battle for the very first time and you realize that Final Fantasy VII has officially begun.
I can't say many other games have captured me right off the bat like this one did. I mean your main character is working with what is, essentially, a terrorist cell that plans on blowing up a Mako Reactor. You actually succeed in doing so and when it's all said and done you just realize you've played one of the greatest openings of all time. No amnesia (well not til later anyways), no child of destiny, no waking up in your room in a quiet village...none of that. You are Cloud, a mercenary, and you go and perform a terrorist act to oppose a corrupt corporation. Maybe you guys are doing the right thing, or perhaps you're not. All that matters is that this was the starting point for one of the greatest games of all time.
I'll see you in the funny papers.

Easy Does It
People play video games for varying reasons. Some like to challenge themselves. They covet being the best and squaring off against the very best competition possible or crave that high score on the leaderboards. They love that intense rush of their skills being pushed to the absolute max. These people purchase a new game and immediately shoot straight for the hardest difficult level that's available. Easy/Normal difficulty? Pffffft...doesn't apply here. Dante Must Die or bust.
I'm not this type of gamer. If anything I'm the exact opposite. I like to relax and just kick back when it's game time. I don't want to endure severe frustration, or kicking holes in my wall. I just want to sit on my chair, lean back a little, and set the experience to cruise control. I'll pretty much always play on the easiest difficulty settings, no matter what the genre. As a result I'm not a very good gamer, in terms of skill. It's never been about that for me though. Just give me a fun time and I'll be happy. I mean work and life in general is a pain in the ass enough right? Why would I want my games to torture me too?
I'll never be as extreme as this guy.
Final Fantasy XIII gave me the idea for this blog somewhat. I was watching a preview video of it and it was mentioned that if you are vanquished in battle, instead of warping back to your last save point, you actually start right in front of the very enemy that last bested you. Personally I kind of dig this. It saves you a lot of trouble and keeps the pace of the game going, by eliminating the need to go redo areas that you ran through previously. Does it make the game easy? Sure seems like it. It also takes out a bit of frustration though. I've seen mixed reactions from people about this idea. In some ways it reminds of the whole "No Death" mechanic in Prince of Persia 2008. That game seemed to cause quite a stir, with the fact that you couldn't really die. In reality the game acknowledges that you screwed up but instead of making you sit through a "Game Over" screen and go back to the title screen it just kept on going. I enjoyed this system. Many, it seems, did not.
The main complaint of Prince of Persia 2008 was that it was too easy and that just turned a lot of people off to it. Why would you want to be punished for misjudging a leap of faith and plummeting to your doom? You took a chance, didn't make it, and so the game brings you back to the point of your last leap. No harm done right? This feature made me enjoy the game immensely. It kept things rolling, even if I missed a ledge, and it encouraged me to experiment a bit and take more chances. I guess some people would've preferred if the game made you sit through a bunch of menus after you die to get back into the game. Why? I have no damn clue.
I'm totally gonna respawn right in front of you.
Let me just make something clear here. I do not have anything against gamers seeking a challenge. In fact I respect them, in a way, because they are so dedicated and put in the hours to perfect their mastery of their respective games. That is quite commendable. What I DO have a problem with is those very same gamers having an elitist attitude to people like me, who prefer to play something on "Liquid Easy" as opposed to "Big Boss Extreme". I'm fine with you enjoying the game the way you want to enjoy it, so please let me enjoy the game in my own way as well.
It's not like I'll completely shy away from those "difficult" games. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, etc. I actually enjoy them. They tend to completely kick my ass, but I still have a grand time with them (when I'm not getting blasted by rockets coming from off screen anyways). Those games are challenging enough to me. Why would I need to ramp up the difficulty level? I have nothing to prove, nor do I seek to challenge myself. I just want to have fun. That is all.
I'll be playing on "Human" Difficulty, thank you very much.
So there you have it. I like my games done easy. I find them more enjoyable that way. Some people don't and prefer a challenge. That's cool too. Just don't hate on me or give me flak for playing something the way I want to play it. I certainly wouldn't do that to you, so please return the courtesy. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go play Uncharted 2 on the easiest setting. But that's not a problem right?
I'll see you in the funny papers.

Why do I let games intimidate me?
First off this is my debut Blog. I really struggled to come up with a topic or idea for this initial entry. Then today it hit me like a shovel to the face. I downloaded both Ikaruga and Braid off of XBLA today and the idea for this blog was born. Throughout my "gaming life" I've had this particular quirk about me. I'll hear about a game and read all the rave reviews and praise. The game will interest me greatly, until I learn of the gameplay mechanics involved or any other complexities. I'll go from a being a bee to honey to a fish fleeing from a shark. For reasons I can't really explain, I've passed up on playing several stellar (or I assume) games because the gameplay elements and/or mechanics intimidate me. They either strike me as too complex or I just feel I won't grasp them properly. No fun can be had if I don't understand the controls right? Might as well just pass the game up than and wait for something a bit simpler. Of course I'd be a complete and utter moron for doing this, and admittedly I have on far too many occasions. There have been a few shining examples, however, where I just took the plunge and gave said game a shot. The results are almost universally positive.
One of my favorite games on the DS and I almost didn't play it out of fear of the battle system.
TWEWY (The World Ends With You) is considered a must have by most DS owners. The game really makes great use of the capabilities the DS possesses. It's got a superb soundtrack, a very interesting plot, and an incredibly fun battle system. Ah yes, the battle system. I read nothing but glowing reviews for this title and the one nagging thing that always stood out to me was just how seemingly intricate and overwhelming the combat in this game appeared to be. I mean how could they expect me to control not one, but TWO characters on TWO separate screens at once? Surely I would not be up to the task. So I let the game slide by. And time passed. A lot of it. Eventually a gaming drought occurred and, long story short, I bravely went out and picked up the game. Upon completing this excellent title I immediately recall myself mentally scolding my mind for not allowing me to pick up this quality title sooner. I won't profess to being some sort of TWEWY master or anything of the sort. Hell I'll be honest, I button mashed that top screen like it was going out of style. That didn't stop me from having a hell of a time with the game though. You see even though I may not have mastered all the in's and out's of the battle system, it turns out that didn't matter nor was it really required of me to enjoy the game.
I thought the clever puzzles would conquer me and almost didn't bother.
As I mentioned earlier I downloaded Braid today. I'm not very far at all, as I've only completed World 2. This is another game that I hear nothing but good things about. The puzzles and time elements scared me off though. I don't consider myself all that intelligent. I just quickly assumed I'd get frustrated with the puzzles and not want to be bothered. No one wants to get frustrated while playing games. I just want to relax and enjoy myself. Once again I must thank my boredom for spurring me into action. What I discovered was a game with a terrific graphical style, great music, and obviously some brain teasing puzzles. Yeah I got stumped. Who cares though? I either just thought about a new solution or asked for advice from someone. I had fun playing and that's all that really matters.
This game kicked my ass...and I still got joy out of it.
Now Ikaruga is a legitimately difficult game, or at least most seem to think so. Especially to new comer to the genre. The wasn't anything fancy scaring me away here. Just over the top difficulty and controller chucking fits of rage. I gave it a shot and yeah the game pretty much crushed me, even on the easiest setting. I still had a damn good time with it though. I know I'll never be a pro at the game, but that's not necessary and maybe that was the exact attitude I had that was preventing me from trying all these games out.
I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't let these things frighten you. You may discover that you pick up things quite easily or that you don't need to learn every minor detail to progress successfully. Just look at the three games above that I would've missed out on if I had let these games intimidation factor scare me out of giving them a chance. You never know what type of amazing experience you could be missing out on. It never hurts to try right?
I'll see you in the funny papers.

Yeah so I'm Erik. I like vidya gaemz. So I'm on this site cuz it's about vidya gamez ya digg? No but seriously I love games with a passion. I've been gaming since the NES and I'm still going strong, with no end in sight (my funds hate me for this). I'm currently residing on the east coast in Superior Eastern Time Zone Land. I'm looking to hopefully be an active member on the forums and the C-Blogs, but I am admittedly quite lazy.
I'm also very much into MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Got into it a few years ago and I've been hooked since. Anime is also another hobby of mine, though I tend to stick to the more well known stuff (ya know the stuff that most people hate).
I'm really looking to try and meet more of my fellow gamers this year at meetups and such. Sadly due to my crappy work schedule this will prove quite troublesome, but I'm gonna do my best. Guess that's really it. I'm done.

Federal Drive interviews -- June 14
Thursday - 6/14/2012, 9:45am EDT
This is the Federal Drive show blog. Here you can listen to the interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day and links to additional resources.
Today's guests:
Debora Plunkett — information assurance director, National Security Agency
There's good news and not-so-good news when it comes to the security of the country's networks and systems. Debora Plunkett, the National Security Agency's information assurance director, said her agency has a better understanding of the threats than ever before, but the systems are not yet up-to-par when it comes to defending against those threats.
David Sims — debarment and suspension program manager, Interior Department
When contractors lie, cheat or just perform shoddy, agencies can suspend or debar them. Some agencies embrace these fixes. Others don't use them at all. The Department of Homeland Security canceled 23 contracts because of poor performance in 2010 but did not suspend or debar the contractors. Without doing so, it left other agencies in the dark. But even when agencies do suspend or debar contractors, other agencies seem to fall prey to the same mistakes. The Justice Department has issued 77 contracts in recent years to companies that have been suspended or debarred. David Sims, the Interior Department's debarment-and-suspension program manager, said, despite the unevenness, both remedies are powerful tools.

Steven Maser — assistant deputy secretary for innovation and improvement, Education Department
Each year, contractors sue the government more than 2,000 times. It's nothing personal, but bid protests are one way of keeping the federal procurement system honest. Steven Maser, a professor of public policy and administration at Willamette University, published an exhaustive study of bid protests. As part of this week's series, Inside the World's Biggest Buyer, we asked Maser about the study.

Helping the Exonerated Cope After Release
Monday, March 03, 2014
Jeffrey Deskovic talks about his advocacy organization and support group for exonerated inmates, the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice. He says that, with more awareness about prosecutorial misconduct, more and more exoneration cases are being brought.
Of his own fight for exoneration, Deskovic says, "You're not just fighting an external battle – trying to stay away from the obstacles, you're trying to prove your case in court against often a doubting judiciary. But then also, it's an inner struggle. You have to fight off feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, depression – thoughts of suicide come in your mind."
Unlike parolees, however, there's no help available for the exonerated as they make the transition out of prison. Deskovic says, "You're released with nothing."
Kian Khatibi and William Lopez, who have both been exonerated, described their experiences. Khatibi was sentenced at the age of 17 and when he was released – after nine and a half years -- he didn't even have ID. "Basically, everything I had to learn over again. How to live in society, how to pump gas on a car. I mean, everything had changed so much."
Lopez served 23 and a half years for allegedly killing a drug dealer in a botched robbery in 1989. When he went into prison, MetroCards and cell phones didn't exist. "The world is incredibly fast…It's changed so much."
Guests:Jeffrey Deskovic, Kian Khatibi and William Lopez
Comments [6]
Kian--Thank you for responding. What a shock (an understatement I realize), to go from the environment of an "A" college student to prison. I presume you are saying that once exonerated, a college or university has no problem admitting them as a student? May I ask, were your scholarships based on your academic performance? The reason I ask is because I have trouble just navigating the arena of returning to school just for myself, without legal trouble.
@Theodore from New Rochelle: I can speak for only myself when I say that when I entered prison I was in college and had an A average. Upon my release from prison I immediately re-entered college, receiving a substantial scholarship from New York University in pursuit of my undergrad degree, and then once again from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, also located in NYC. Any remaining funds that I needed were taken care of from student loans. Of course, these loans will have to be repaid. @Amy from Manhattan: Normally, when someone is exonerated, the first priority of all those involved is to release them. This is usually done in haste and without the formalities that normally occur upon a guilty person's release from prison. Often, there is no phone call, money, clothing, or property given to the exonerated person at that time. However, "bitter" this may be, it is far more "sweet" to finally have a long awaited freedom of movement. Hence, release of an exonerated person is always "bittersweet." Sincerely, Kian Daniel Khatibi.
What I want to know FROM ANYONE WHO KNOWS, is how do these guys who don't come from wealth families, are not rich themselves, and are not from scholarship-oriented academic backgrounds--how do they pay for Law School, the doctorate program one of them mentioned, etc.? Where do you get the money for school for these advanced degrees? How do you qualify to get into school? Anyone? How is this done? Always escaped me.
All these guys are well prepared for their Civil suits.
23 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Utterly heartbreaking.
Deskovic is doing society an important service with his foundation.
One of the guests mentioned the support he got from his family. When someone is exonerated, do they even get a phone call to *contact* their family? When you're arrested, at least you get 1 phone call. Does an exoneree's family (or lawyer? get notified when the person is release?

They actually deliver to my house, so, we get it alot ! Their new way of cooking pizza makes it so they are all cooked evenly, so, it's the same every time. I wish delivery time was faster though. PROS: The pizza CONS: the 45 minute wait…

Updated 01/30/2015
The small, stylish Galleria Park Hotel, a favorite address of savvy business travelers, harbors this sleek but casual restaurant with the talented Michelle Mah wearing the top toque. Mah's menu is New American with contemporary French bistro touches, and all the dishes—warm seafood salad with fried artichokes, pork rillette with pickled radishes, panfried skate with lemon brown-butter sauce and haricots verts—draw on the agricultural riches of the Bay Area. The space, with access from the street, combines a lively bar downstairs, popular with the after-work crowd, and dining on two levels upstairs. For the quietest meal, ask for a table on the mezzanine level, to avoid the chatter that can drift up from the bar below. Or, join the fun downstairs and pair your cocktail with popcorn flavored with white truffle oil and sea salt, chickpea fries, harissa-and-honey-roasted pistachios, a grass-fed beef burger on a sesame-seed bun, or steak tartare from the bar menu.

Objective: To evaluate the decline in specific neuropsychological functions in nondemented Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with a history of visual hallucinations (VH). Methods: Twenty PD patients with VH, 20 PD patients without VH and 18 normal controls were followed up over a 1-year period and assessed for cognitive decline. Results: Forty-five percent of nondemented hallucinating PD patients developed dementia during the 1-year period between baseline and follow-up evaluations. Of the nondemented hallucinating PD patients nearly 70% showed impairment in multiple cognitive domains. The progressive decline in hallucinating PD patients affected mainly visual memory for faces and visuoperceptive-visuospatial functions. Conclusion: Our results support a fast impairment of complex visual functions in hallucinating PD patients, but also a progressive decline in multiple cognitive domains, which have been identified as a risk of developing dementia in PD.

The Municipality of Taytay is a first class, densely populated municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines.[1] It is currently the third second most populous municipality in Rizal after and Cainta. One of the 14 municipalities of the Province of Rizal. Conurbated with Metro Manila, it is bounded by Cainta on the north, Pasig City and Taguig City on the west, Antipolo City in the East and Angono on the South. It is the "Woodworks and Garments Capital Of the Philippines"
Under Spanish rule, the area occupied by the previous 26 towns of Rizal Province began with the organization of the Provinces of Tondo and La Laguna during the Spanish regime. Some of the towns like Pasig, Parañaque, Taytay and Cainta were already thriving. Tagalog settlements which carried on trade with the Chinese and Arab traders long before the Spanish conquest.
From the reports of the Encomiendas in 1582-83, the Encomiendas of Moron (Morong) was under the jurisdiction of La Laguna and, the Encomiendas of Passi (Pasig), Taitay (Taytay) and Tagui (Taguig) belonged to the Province of Tondo. It was recorded that in 1591, the Encomiendas of Moron and Taitay were under the jurisdiction of the Franciscan Order in the Province of La Laguna; and the Encomiendas of Nabotas (Navotas), Tambobo (Malabon), Tondo, Parañaque, Longalo (Dongalo), Tagui and Pasig were under the jurisdiction of the Augustinians in the Province of Tondo.
In 1853, a new political subdivision was formed. This consisted of the towns of Antipolo, Cainta and Taytay from the Province of Tondo; and the towns of Morong, Baras, Tanay, Pililla, Angono, Binangonan and Jalajala from the Province of La Laguna, with the capital at Morong. This district was later changed to Distrito Politico-Militar de Morong after four years.
In 1860, by virtue of Circular No. 83, dated September 2, 1859, the Province of Tondo became the Province of Manila. All its towns were placed under the administration, fiscal supervision and control of the Governor of the new province.
The town of Mariquina (Marikina) became the capital of the Province of Manila during the tenure of the revolutionary government of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. The Province of Morong had for its capital the town of Antipolo for the period 1898-1899, and the town of Tanay for 1899-1900.
On February 6, 1901, the Second Philippine Commission sought to establish civil government in the country through a provincial organization act after the Filipino-Spanish and Filipino-American conflicts.
Wherefore, on June 5, 1901 a historic meeting was held at the Pasig Catholic Church for the organization of a civil government in the Provinces of Manila and Morong, with 221 delegates in attendance. The first Philippine Commission, headed by President William Howard Taft and composed of Commissioners Luke E. Wright, Henry C. Ide, Bernard Moses and Dean C. Worcester, discussed with the Assembly the issue of whether or not to write the Province of Manila with Morong Province, was not self-sufficient to operate as a separate province.
Although the delegates from Morong, Don Hilarion Raymundo and Don Jose Tupas, objected to the proposal, Delegate Don Juan Sumulong of Antipolo strongly advocated the move. After much acrimonious debate and upon the suggestion of Dr.Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera who accompanied the commission the body agreed on the creation of a new province independent of the Province of Manila. The new province was aptly named after Dr. Jose P. Rizal dubbed as the greatest Malayan that ever lived.
On June 11, 1901, the province of Rizal was officially and legally created by virtue of an Act No. 137 by the First Philippine Commission which during the time was acting as the unicameral legislative body in the island of Luzon.
The new province was composed of twenty-six municipalities, fourteen from the old Province of Manila (Las Piñas, Malabon, Makati, Parañaque, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Navotas, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Pasig, Marikina, San Mateo, and Montalban); and 12 from the Politico-Militar District of Morong, (Angono, Baras, Binangonan, Cainta, Antipolo, Cardona, Jalajala, Morong, Pililla, Tanay, Taytay and Teresa). The seat of the provincial government is Pasig.
On 1942, the occupation by the Japanese Imperial Army forces entering the town in Taytay. On 1945, local Filipino soldiers of the pre-war 42nd Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and 4th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary was liberated and entering the towns in Taytay to helping the recognized guerrilla fighter units to defeated and attacking Japanese Imperial Army forces during the Southern Luzon Campaign or Southern Tagalog Campaign and ended in World War II under the Japanese Occupation.
On November 7, 1975, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, the 12 towns of Las Piñas, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Makati, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Malabon, Navotas, Pasig and Marikina were incorporated into the newly formed Metro Manila Area thereby leaving the remaining 14 towns of San Mateo, Montalban, Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Antipolo, Binangonan, Teresa, Morong, Cardona, Tanay, Baras, Pililla and Jalajala to the Province of Rizal.
It is situated in the province's western portion, bounded by the grids 14° 34' 24" north latitude and 121° 07' 48" east longitude. It shares boundaries with Cainta in the Northwest, Antipolo in the North-northeast, Angono in the East-southeast and Taguig in the Southwest. The municipality is sited to East of Pasig City and to the North of Laguna Lake. It has an area of 38.80 km² representing 3.3% of Rizal Province's land area.
The shape of Taytay is rectangular – trapezoidal with gently hilly rolling terrain on its eastern side while relatively flat on its southwestern side, including the poblacion. The municipality's highest elevation ranges from 200 to 255 meters which is situated along the inner north-eastern hills of Barangay Dolores, alongside the Antipolo Boundary. Its lowest points are from 5 to 20 meters along the southern portion of Barangay San Juan and Muzon towards Laguna Lake.
From Laguna de Bay, Pasig River runs between Taguig City, and Taytay City, Rizal, before entering Pasig City.
The Manggahan Floodway lessens flood conditions in Metro Manila by carrying flood waters to Laguna de Bay, but contributes to flooding of the coastal areas of Taguig, Taytay, and other towns in Laguna and Rizal along the lake.
The municipality is principally drained by southwest trending rivers such as Taytay River, Panghulo River, and Napindan Channel, all of which empties into Laguna Lake. Taytay River flows across Barangays Dolores and San Isidro and joins Antipolo River (present course of Manggahan Floodway) as it passes through the southern end of Barangays Sta. Ana and San Juan. Panghulo River snakes its way from upper Taytay across Barangay San Juan towards the southern portion of Barangay Muzon. Napindan Channel crosses the southern boundaries of Barangay Sta. Ana and San Juan as it empties into Laguna Lake. Bangiad Creek, found at the southeastern limits of the municipality, flows southwest ward across Barangay Muzon, extending toward Laguna Lake.
Taytay is 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) away from Pasig City, the former provincial seat of government of Rizal. It is accessible from various points from Metro Manila through the Ortigas Extension Avenue, Manila East Road, Felix Avenue (formerly Imelda Avenue), A. Bonifacio Avenue, Manggahan Floodway, and Sumulong Highway.
Taytay is politically subdivided into five barangays.

Official identifies man suspected in Sikh shooting
Monday - 8/6/2012, 11:59am EDT
By EILEEN SULLIVAN and PAULINE JELINEK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - An ex-Army man who was reduced in rank before his discharge, Wade Michael Page, carried out the shootings at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin that claimed six lives, a federal official said Monday.
The shooter also died in the incident.
The U.S. official declined to be named publicly, noting that he was not authorized to speak while the investigation is still ongoing. Page was described as being 40 years old.
A defense official said the suspect was discharged from the Army in 1998, but he declined to say whether Page received an honorable discharge. When he left the military, he was declared ineligible to re-enlist.
This official, too, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information yet about the suspect.
But the official told The Associated Press on Monday that Page entered the Army April 15, 1992, and was discharged in on Oct. 9, 1998. He said the man was busted in rank from sergeant to specialist, but he gave no reason.
His initial training in the military was at Fort Sill, Okla.,
Page joined the military in Milwaukee and was a repairman for the Hawk missile system at Fort Bliss in Texas. He later switched jobs to become one of the Army's psychological operations specialists, the official said.
The so-called "Psy-Ops" specialists are responsible for the analysis, development and distribution of intelligence used for information and psychological effect; they research and analyze methods of influencing foreign populations.
He later switched jobs to be a "psy-ops" specialist assigned to a battalion at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Most people cringe when it's time to file taxes. They rush through their returns or hire accountants to do the work -- for large fees -- only to feel that the tax code has eaten most of their hard-earned income.
A number of federal tax credits, however, exist to help taxpayers -- primarily those in middle-income and low-income households -- retain more of their earnings. Identifying which credits apply to you will reduce your pain as you prepare to file your income tax return.
"Credits can have a real impact on income," said Thomas Jensen, a financial adviser and managing partner of Vaerdi LLC in Portland, Oregon. "In my work what typically happens is I'll see young professionals -- say, right out of school or who are just not that advanced in financial planning -- they'll invest $500 in a tax planner or say, 'I'll just do it myself.'
"In general, they don't inform themselves and so they don't take full advantage of their tax situation."
"I like to encourage people, especially low-income people, that they have a retirement account and they regularly contribute to it. Not only do you get to take whatever you put in right off the top of your total income, you also get to take a credit for up to $1,000 for what you contributed."
- Thomas Jensen, financial adviser and managing partner of Vaerdi LLC in Portland, Oregon

Sinbad HostelIstanbul, Turkey
Staff and location are good (close by to attractions, restaurants etc). I stayed in a 6 dorm room, there was only 1 key for 6 people so not very practical or secure. Not so much of an atmosphere, they promote a cafe on the rooftop but it was empty, only staff watching tv. The cleanliness was less than average, bathrooms were disgusting. Wifi works so-so, almost non-existent in the dorm. No common room or kitchen really, some tables inside and outside (good for smokers :))
Starlet HostelIstanbul, Turkey
I stayed in this hostel for 3 nights and it was quite a contradictory experience. In the beginning, I found that the staff was very reserved, almost unpleasant, they wouldn't address a word to me but on my second day they started warming up towards me and it got better. The location is excellent though, close to all the main sights and 5 min from the tram stop. Very safe too, walked around alone at night and felt comfortable. Clean, dorms spacious and comfy, breaky is average, no key for rooms
The Funky Chicken HostelBucharest, Romania
Good hostel and excellent value for money. If you are looking for a nice, quiet and clean place to stay, this is your place. The staff is great, very pleasant and helpful. Facilites are good too (kitchen, common room, small yard with a table outside). Don't expect something very modern though. The hostel is located in a small typical house close to the city center of Bucharest. If you are looking for a party hostel, this is not the place but definitely a nice one for a good night rest and sleep.
GraffitiBarcelona, Spain
good hostel, a bit far from the center but still ok, common areas and reception are recently renovated, but not dorms. No locks on the door to enter the dorm but have lockers to keep your stuff. Staff was very nice and friendly, great atmosphere. Kitchen, terrace, good wifi. I paid 6€ for a bed, so the value is excellent
Fabrizzios Terrace BarcelonaBarcelona, Spain
Best hostel ever! Great facilities, amazing staff, all day breakfast, central location, clean& friendly. Thank you, Anna & Ericky for making my stay unforgettable.
Sant Jordi AlbergBarcelona, Spain
Great hostel, really enjoyed my stay, friendly staff, excellent facilities, cental location.
The HipstelBarcelona, Spain
Quite a nice hostel, though would be better if they fixed the sliding door in the dorm i was staying as it made too much noise at night. Other than that, good facilities, friendly staff, good value for money.
Sant Jordi Hostel Rock PalaceBarcelona, Spain
A great hostel, a brand new one, everything is amazingly clean and very convenient. Staff is nice, good vibe may be a little too much of loud music in the evening in the lounge (at least in the beginning of my stay) but then they got better at it and everything was perfect. And after all, it's a Rock Palace so I guess music is a must. I personally found dorms very quiet even if I stayed in a 8 bed mixed one. Had very good sleep there. Excellent facilities, terrace, spacious kitchen.
San Francisco International HostelSan Francisco, USA
the staff was nice& very helpful but my room had quite an unpleasant smell, cleanliness of bathrooms is average, there are not enough lockers for everyone even if the hostel was not full. Central location, make ur own pancakes in the morning, free tea, coffee, water.
Los Angeles Backpackers Paradise HostelLos Angeles, USA
Very good value for money, free tea&coffee, cookies, popcorn, evening hot veg snacks, free shuttle to the airport & beach. staff is not always nice, some are quite rude. Located in a dingy area, would not walk around alone at night, but lots of cheap eats around, supermarket, shops within walking distance. Very clean, sheets&towels changed every day even in the dorm. Direct busses to downtown&hollywood, have pros&cons but for the money defo worth it.
Hostel CatLas Vegas, USA
Overall, good stay in that hostel, nice staff, good facilities, stayed in a 10 bed dorm, very nice&quiet, they offer many activities&tours.
India House Backpackers HostelNew Orleans, USA
Stayed there only one night, good hostel a little far from the french quarter but direct trolley going there, good cooking facilities, the rooms are ok, overall a good experience.
Cowgate Tourist HostelEdinburgh, Scotland
Good location close to the city center but rooms facing Cowgate str can be quite noisy due to the proximity of 3 Sisters (closes at 3am but noise usually till 4 am). The hostel is quite clean, the rooms as well as common areas. Pity there is no common room so people have to hang out in the kitchen which is pretty small. Free wifi was working good around the hostel and in the room. Two free to use computers in the lobby. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
PILOT Design Hostel & BarPorto, Portugal
Good hostel but I don't really get the 90smth % rating. It's not better than other hostels I stayed in. The size of the dorm is ok, everything is clean. Common area could be bigger, not enough space for everyone especially in the evening. Kitchen is quite small too. Breakfast is ok (juice, cereal, bread, butter, homemande jam), if you want cheese and ham you have to wake up early because it's all gone by 8am and not refilled. Modern design with metal furniture and doors , can be noisy and loud
Travel HotelAmsterdam, Netherlands
To start on the bright side, the location is excellent, the street is quiet and safe. The room and the shower/toilet were clean but small. The major drawback is the absence of common area so you can only stay inside your room, no possibility of socializing, no kitchen neither (not even a micro wave or kettle). There is a bar downstairs but you have to buy drinks to hang out there. Wifi is expensive but a cheap internet café next door. Yet good value for money, I paid 12€ for a bed in 6 bed dorm.

Runners are guilty of many bad habits. We've been known to oversleep and skip a run, cave in and eat that slice of cheesecake, or overtrain to the point of injury.
Yet the most common fault shared by the majority of runners has got to be the attitude of "I don't need to stretch." While it's true that many runners hit the pavement every day with nary a stretch and never seem the worse for it, there's no escaping the science (and commonsense) that tells you there IS something to this whole stretching business. Let's talk about how, when, and why we stretch.
Performing the right stretches the right way is way more important than stretching itself. Improper form while stretching - or doing the wrong stretches - is a leading cause of injuries for runners.
Flexibility does not come overnight. Many people begin a stretching program only to abandon it soon after because they haven't seen it make a difference in their runs or flexibility. Patience. You can't train for a marathon overnight and you can't alter years of rigidity in two months time. If you stick with your stretching program, you will see results.
Perform stretches slowly and gradually. The theory of "no pain, no gain" does NOT apply to stretches! If something hurts, stop. Don't try to stretch past the tightness. Instead, focus on your breath, breathing slowly and deeply and exhaling as the muscle stretches. Hold the stretch for anywhere from 20-40 seconds. Slow stretching avoids the contraction reflex that occurs if a stretch is applied too quickly. It also helps the muscle stretch further.
Repeat this mantra: Bouncing is bad. (Say it with me: "Bouncing is bad. Bouncing is bad.") Bouncing to further a stretch almost guarantees a pulled or torn muscle in your future.
Be sure and stretch equally on all sides. And remember there's more to a runner than just the legs. Stretch your arms, neck, back, and torso for maximum benefit.
There's debate on when to stretch - before or after a run. What's agreed is that cold muscles injury easily. For this reason, many runners and coaches advise you don't try to stretch muscles before a run, instead doing an easy 10-minute warm-up jog and then stopping to stretch. (This especially applies to morning runners who go from the bed to the pavement with no chance for muscles to wake up before running.)
After run stretches are perfect as your body is warm and this is when you can really gain in flexibility. Don't wait too long to stretch. Your body cools down and muscles contract within 30 minutes after a run. Get your stretches in soon after you stop.
Bonus Tip: Stretching doesn't have to be focused around runs. A yoga class or yoga exercises performed a couple times a week are an excellent addition to your running regime.
Stretching improves athletic performance, reduces soreness, promotes healing, and strengthens muscles. Flexibility also prevents injury and can keep you on the road with increased muscle efficiency.
If you're looking to improve your speed, a consistent stretching program can help lengthen your stride. Stretching - like running - also enhances body awareness and is great for relaxation.
Finally, if you're just beginning your running program, set good habits early and start a stretching program along with it. For experienced runners who aren't stretching - it's never too late to start.
Run, stretch, feel great. Happy running!

9 Filipinos arrested in Malaysia for not having proper immigration papers
More News from Tarra Quismundo
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines — Malaysian authorities arrested nine Filipinos who did not have proper immigration documents on September 3, the third day of a crackdown on foreign nationals illegally staying there, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Thursday.
Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez said eight of the Filipinos were arrested at the Labuan Federal Territory in eastern Malaysia and one was caught in Bintulu, Sarawak.
"We continue to closely monitor the situation. We also wish to reiterate our call for our kababayans in Malaysia to fully complete their immigration documentation and always carry proper identification documents," Hernandez told reporters in a press briefing.
Malaysia began its crackdown on undocumented foreign workers through simultaneous nationwide operations on September 1, leading to the detention of more than 2,400 undocumented foreigners, reports from Malaysia indicated.
Apart from Filipinos, among those affected so far are nationals from Burma, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria, Thailand, Malaysian media quoted Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as saying.
Earlier this week, the Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur called on Filipinos to complete proper immigration documentation and to carry their papers at all times in case of immigration checks.
Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia Eduardo Malaya also met with Hamidi on Monday to request proper treatment of Filipinos who might be affected by the crackdown.
The Commission on Filipinos Overseas placed the number of Filipinos in Malaysia, at 569,081 Filipinos in Malaysia, as of 2011. Of that number, some 447,590 are listed as "irregular."

More on the NFL's Jews
And our official team, revealed!
In today's Vox Tablet podcast, Ray Gustini, of the Atlantic Wire, and I figured out exactly how many NFL franchises are owned by Jews. The final answer is 10.5 or 11.5, depending on whether or not Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is Jewish (Ray thinks he's Catholic; I found no evidence of that, and found that he has donated to a Jewish cause; and, for what it's worth, a number of anti-Semitic Websites say he is).
A few notes that did not make it into the final podcast, which was edited for time:
• Though I did not count them as being Jewish-owned, the Green Bay Packers almost certainly have Jewish owners: They are owned by the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, which has at least one synagogue.
• New York Jets owner Woody Johnson (as in Johnson & Johnson) is not Jewish, but was a great friend to the Jews last season, when he successfully complained after the NFL scheduled his team's first two home games during the High Holidays. Indeed, though the Giants are 50-percent Jewish-owned, I think you have to consider the Jets (whose prior owners were Jews, who come from the scrappy and heavily Jewish AFL, and whose current general manager is Jewish) the more Jewish New York-area franchise.
• The owner of the Detroit Lions is William Clay Ford. Ford is not Jewish, but is descended from one of history's most influential anti-Semites.
• You should follow Ray's Twitter feed, @VeryFakeAlDavis.
• Finally, Julian Edelman is not Jewish. Taylor Mays, however, is.
After the jump: The 11.5 (maybe 10.5) Jewish-owned NFL franchises, along with Ray's and my pick for Tablet Magazine's official team. (But really, listen to the podcast!)
Jewish franchises:
Atlanta Falcons
Cleveland Browns
Denver Broncos (maybe)
Miami Dolphins
Minnesota Vikings
New England Patriots
New York Giants (.5)
Oakland Raiders
Philadelphia Eagles
St. Louis Rams
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Washington Redskins
As for official team. It should be the Vikings, who are owned by the son of two Holocaust survivors; surely have a significant Jewish fanbase (The Land of 10,000 Lakes gave us Bob Dylan, the Coen Brothers, and Thomas Friedman, and are represented in the Senate by Al Franken); and have Jewish QB Sage Rosenfels on their roster. However, Brett Favre's return has likely doomed Rosenfels to another year of no snaps, which if anything counts against them. While Ray's and my honorable mention was the New England Patriots, and we would certainly fault no Jew for rooting for them, ultimately the spot went to … the Washington Redskins. Mazel tov!
