LOS ANGELES – A UCLA football jersey, the kind Tyler Gonzalez used to wipe up off the floor, now hangs in the locker room with his name across the back.
The former Fullerton High kicker now stands on the sideline as the Bruins' backup kicker holding on to a dream, not as team manager holding on to a couple of water bottles.
Gonzalez's dream was born on the athletics fields in Fullerton, nurtured in high school and dashed when Gonzalez went to college.
Gonzalez was a four-sport athlete in high school. But when he wasn't recruited by his dream school, UCLA, for football or soccer, he decided to give up any idea of playing collegiate sports and enroll at the Westwood campus anyway, where many family members had earned degrees.
"I always wanted to go to UCLA ever since I was little and I got in for academics," said Gonzalez, who graduated from Fullerton High with a 4.67 grade-point average. "So that was more important to me than playing at a school I didn't want to go to."
Because of his "stubbornness," Gonzalez never tried out for the soccer or football teams. If he wasn't recruited, he didn't want to try out, he said. Yet he was never far from the action.
When rowing didn't pan out because of scheduling conflicts his freshman year, Gonzalez became a manager for the football team. After one season, he joined the soccer team as its manager.
His life changed three weeks ago when Bruins starting kicker Kip Smith suffered a groin-muscle injury and Gonzalez's roommate, a student football assistant, convinced him to try out. Gonzalez, in his final quarter at UCLA, figured he had nothing to lose.
As Gonzalez was attempting a few practice kicks, Coach Rick Neuheisel showed up. He quickly saw potential.
"He said, 'OK, I want you at practice at 3 o'clock,'" Gonzalez said. "I said, 'OK, that's like in two hours,' And he was like, 'What's the problem?'
"I said, 'There's no problem, I just haven't thought about it. It's something I have to think about.'"
Gonzalez didn't have time to think. Neuheisel inserted him at the end of a two-minute drill for a 40-yard field goal attempt. As the team lined up, the reserves shifted from the sidelines onto the field to watch. When he nailed the attempt, the team gave him a rousing ovation.
"I was super nervous before that kick, so when I saw it go through I had a big rush of relief and everyone lifted me up," Gonzalez said. "It was a great feeling."
Neuheisel gave him the jersey later that day.
"I was definitely excited, but since I have been around athletics, I know what it's about. I had been in the locker room before. I think if I had been a complete novice, it would have been different."

State Approves UWRF Land Swap
NOV. 20, 2006--The Wisconsin State Building Commission on Nov. 15 approved a land swap involving the Mann Valley Farm operated by UW-River Falls.
The commission action is the final formal step in the trade, which was approved by the UW System Board of Regents on Nov. 10.
The trade involves a single parcel of 99 acres held by the University for 187 acres owned by K&S Developers, Inc.
UWRF will gain acreage immediately adjacent to the west and northwest of the farm, which adjoins Country Road MM northwest of River Falls. K&S will receive acreage south of the county road, directly across from the existing laboratory farm.
Proposed plans by K&S include developing the acreage for rural residential purposes, possibly including an elementary school, retail services, a fire substation, parks and a playground, according to UWRF Campus Planner Dale Braun.
The university will use the newly obtained land for the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences. According to Braun, a land assessment conducted by the college indicated it needed another 295 additional tillable acres beyond the 398 acres currently available.
The land swap will reduce the deficit by about 160 acres.
The trade is compatible with the land use planning goals of the Town of Troy, St. Croix County and the City of River Falls, said Braun. The land to be acquired by K&S can be served by municipal sewer and water services. The land to be gained by the University lies within the Town of Troy and is not eligible for city services.
According to Braun, no money was involved in the transaction. Appraisals conducted by the state and K&S show a fiscal advantage to the University of $557,500.
The land trade is expected to be finalized by Jan. 1.

Take Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays OVER 8.
A.J. Burnett has struggled under the dome at the Rogers Centre this season, and Sean Gallagher has been horrible on the road. Play the Blue Jays and Cubs over the total.
Sean Gallagher and the Cubs travel north of the border to battle the Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series. Veteran A.J. Burnett gets the call for Toronto.
The Jays have dropped their last three games when Burnett has toed the rubber. Burnett got blasted in his last outing allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits and was gone by the fifth inning. Of extreme interest to those of us who are playing the Over tonight is what Burnett has done under the dome this season. It's not pretty. Burnett is 2-3 with a whopping 9.00 ERA in six appearances (five starts) at home this year.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Gallagher has had recent trouble on the road going 0-2 with two no-decisions and a 5.93 ERA in four road starts this year, and tonight marks his first career start against Toronto.
Finally, the Over is 7-2 in the Blue Jays' last nine interleague games.
Pick: Cubs-Blue Jays Over 8

Columbus is a 'dead' team right now, the only team out of nine in the National Conference with no hope of making the playoffs heading into Week 16. Frankly, the Destroyers have been dead for months, 1-7 SU in their last eight games. Remember, this team went to the Arena Bowl last year; their disappointment with the 2008 campaign is almost palpable. Their lack of effort has been most apparent on the defense side of the football, allowing 9.5 and 10.0 yards per pass attempt in their last two ballgames while giving up 17 touchdowns in 19 meaningful drives. And, as we clearly saw against Georgia last week, the Destroyers are not responding well to adversity at this stage of the campaign – one bad break and the roof starts to fall in.
We bet against Quincy Carter making his first career start last week, and were paid off rather easily, as Carter's KC Brigade lost by 39 points as a favorite! In this game, we get to bet against Justin Zwick making his first career appearance. Zwick, the former Ohio State Buckeye was a dud in college, but he's a hometown fan favorite and attendance is lagging. He won't be the only backup getting playing time here – the Destroyers coaching staff plans to use their final two games of the season to look at a number of other second tier prospects.
Meanwhile, Grand Rapids is coming off a brilliant performance against Colorado, putting them in position to actually clinch a playoff spot with a win and some help this week despite their 4-10 record. The Rampage put on a truly impressive offensive showing, hanging 84 points on the Crush. First year head coach Steve Thonn promised a more aggressive approach following their home loss to Utah the previous week, and he certainly wasn't bluffing. The Rampage had a season high 16 possessions against Colorado, averaging less than two minutes per possession. Three different Grand Rapids receivers had 100 or more yards and at least three touchdown receptions, the first time in team history they've accomplished that feat. One team cares about winning; the other squad is waiting for the season to be over. 4* Take Grand Rapids. Current Line: GR -4.5, reduce wager size to ½ unit at -7 or higher.

I made a large bet on Dallas last week, but it went down in flames in the final minute, following the Desperados second special teams miscue of the game. The bad news is that we lost that bet; the good news is that we'll get the chance to make some of it back right here. Last week's loss effectively ended the regular season for the Desperados. Barring a Philadelphia collapse, the Soul will have homefield edge in the playoffs after sweeping the season series from Dallas. And, after going 15-1 last year but getting bounced out of the playoffs in the first round, and having a league best 13-3 record in 2006, but also falling short in the playoffs, this team has absolutely nothing to prove here in the regular season – their success will be entirely determined by what they accomplish once the playoffs begin.
To make matters even worse for Dallas here, their defense has collapsed in recent weeks, allowing 8.1 yards per pass attempts against Cleveland two weeks ago and 8.7 yards per attempt last week, while giving up ten touchdowns on eleven meaningful drives. When the Desperados played New York back in Week 5, they suffered four sacks and scored only 33 points, their second lowest output of the season. Throw in some injury concerns (and the lack of a bye week if Philly wins the division, as expected), it's far more important for head coach Will McClay to get his team healthy and focused for a playoff run than it is to win this game at all, let alone win it by any sort of a margin.
New York has been nothing short of outstanding since their awful 1-4 start, reeling off seven wins in their last nine games. It's surely worth noting that the Dragons two losses during that span came by five and two points, each contest coming right down to the wire – this is not a team that gets blown out, even in hostile environments. Weylan Harding's defense is coming off a season best performance, holding New Orleans to 4.7 yards per pass attempt last Saturday, while QB Aaron Garcia now has the fifth highest QB rating in the league, with a truly impressive 72-7 touchdown-to –interception ratio, far better than Desperados QB Clint Dolezel in all three statistical categories. And, unlike Dallas, New York has no margin for error with Philadelphia on tap next week – they absolutely, positively, need the victory here, while Dallas does not. 4* Take New York. Current line: NY +7.5, reduce wager size to ½ unit at +5 or lower.

San Jose's offense has been good this year, but it's been their defense that has carried them to a 9-5 record, putting them in position to secure another Western Division title with a victory here. The Sabercats D has forced an AFL high 38 turnovers (21 interceptions, 17 forced fumbles). All three starters in their secondary – Omarr Smith, Marquis Floyd and Clevan Thomas – have started every game together over the last two seasons, a true rarity in this league, giving the Sabercats far more defensive chemistry than the average AFL squad. And with Steve Watson, Alan Harper and Ronald Jones leading the way on a defensive line that has forced 23 sacks, it's no surprise that the San Jose defense ranks second in their conference in red zone defense, consistently holding foes out of the end zone.
No team in the league attempts more field goals than San Jose, with head coach Darren Arbet settling for three again and again. AJ Haglund is a great kicker, but any time a possession ends with anything less than a touchdown, under bettors smile. Tampa Bay, too, has the second best red zone defense of any team in their conference, so the potential for fewer Sabercats touchdowns and more Sabercats field goals this week is rather high, particularly considering that San Jose is coming off their bye week, taking their offense out of rhythm.
Tampa Bay head coach Tim Marcum was not pleased with his defense last week when they allowed a season high 363 passing yards and a season high 9.1 yards per pass attempt against Orlando. QB Brett Dietz has not performed particularly well against the quality defenses that he's faced, a good part of the reason why the Storm are 5-2 to the Under in their last seven ballgames and 5-2 to the Under in their seven road games this season. In fact, both of these quarterbacks rank in the bottom half of the starters in the league in terms of their QB ratings, and both defenses are much stronger than average at creating a pass rush and forcing turnovers. And let's not forget Tampa kicker Seth Marler, who ranks fourth in the league in FG attempts, clearly indicating that Marcum, too, is content to settle for three points on a consistent basis, which is exactly the offensive approach Under bettors are looking for. 4* Take the Under. Current total: 110.5, reduce wager size to ½ unit at 107.5 or lower.

WASHINGTON -- After years of attempts to defend, defame and now defund it, the Affordable Care Act's watershed moment is finally here.
On Tuesday, the health care law's online insurance marketplaces are scheduled to debut in every state, giving Americans their first opportunity to kick the tires and even purchase new health insurance benefits that might not have been available to them before.
While most states are still working out some technological kinks in their systems, the launch of the high-tech marketplaces ushers in a new era of comparative shopping that is predicted to ultimately make health coverage options more transparent and, perhaps, far less daunting.
The marketplaces are opening amid a raging battle in Congress, where Republicans have persistently tried to repeal Obamacare outright. During the current debate over temporarily funding the government when the fiscal year ends Monday night, GOP critics have said they'll allow the government to shut down if defunding Obamacare isn't part of the budget deal.
But even if the government shuts down in a dispute over the law's funding, the health care law will continue to be implemented because much of the funding is mandatory and not part of Congress' annual discretionary appropriations. Funding could be stopped only if the law were repealed.
Run by either the federal government or the states themselves, the marketplaces will allow individuals, families and small businesses to enroll in health plans that the law dictates must cover a wide range of essential benefits and can't deny coverage because of current or past health problems.
Marketplace plans also will limit older people from being charged more than three times the amount of young adults, ban spending limits for medical expenses and prohibit rate differences based on gender, occupation and medical claims history.
People who earn up to four times the federal poverty level -- $46,000 for an individual this year -- can get federal subsidies, or "tax credits," to help buy marketplace coverage. Many of them will get additional subsidies that limit such out-of-pocket costs as co-payments and deductibles.
The health care law requires most Americans to have health insurance beginning in 2014 or face a fine, which will be levied when they file their income taxes next year.
Recent computer problems suggest the marketplace debuts may not go smoothly. Small-business enrollments in 36 states where the federal government either will run or jointly operate the marketplaces have been postponed until November due to technical glitches. Maryland, Oregon and the District of Columbia have delayed key marketplace functions until computer problems are fixed.
Tuesday's marketplace debut isn't likely to spawn a rush of eager buyers, because people have until Dec.15 to buy coverage that begins on Jan. 1. During that time, many people will interact with the marketplace more than a dozen times before they make purchases, said Heather Howard, the state network program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a public health philanthropy.
Most states probably will see spikes in marketplace activity just before the Dec. 15 deadline for enrolling by Jan. 1, and just before the 2014 open enrollment period ends March 31, Howard said. An estimated 7 million people are expected to have enrolled by then.
Buying coverage before March 31 will fulfill the mandate that individuals have health insurance by 2014.
In addition to online enrollment, marketplaces will have telephone call centers to help people sign up, as well as community enrollment workers, or "navigators," who have been trained to assist with enrollment.

Opening acts: Van Halen, Henry Paul Band
|October 24, 1981

|American Tour 1981
|Orlando Stadium
|Orlando, Florida, United States
Hot Humid Overcast and Memorable
The first of the last Rolling Stone tours you had send money in and hope you got a ticket, it was $50! We usually bought tickets from Kubans in Sarasota so this was different. The day started with me picking up my buddies Mike and Mike for the 3 hour drive from Sarasota to Orlando. I had some room temp Miller beer in the car and had that for breakfast. My buddy Mike H. was the real Stones fan, I was along for the ride, lol. Well, I was the ride. At this point in time stadium seating wasn't the rule yet. For the first band and Van Halen we were in the stands on the right side of the stage, before the Stones we made our way to the front of the stage, middle, right at the barrier. The was the second time in a 2 years I had seen Van Halen. DLR made it a point of saying, This is for the local newspaper critic" and then shot the crowd a moon! HHAHAA It was muggy and overcast as all get out and periodically security would spray us with what was probably reclaimed water for irrigation that was loaded with chlorine and burned our eyes but helped cool us off. When the show started, there was Mick, probably 20 feet away, in his spandex and knee protectors. This was the show that he wore a cape at times and went over the crowd in a cherry picker. There was a guy that when the concert started was on something, he was standing next to us and kept leaning on people, sleeping standing up. You'd shove him off and he would wake for a minute and then go back to sleep and lean on someone else. All the while my buddy Mike is urging me to deck him which I didn't. He eventually was pushed out of the center of the crowd. There was also a little girl next to me having trouble seeing. When Keith Richards started singing She's My Little Rock N Roll she asked to go on my shoulders, I'm 6'3". Sure! So she goes up and is doing all kind of jumping up and down. I have a bad back and even though I was 18, I had to let her down after that one. Well, she asked the next tall guy and he said sure and ended up they left the concert together. Curse you bad back, lol. Excellent show. Like I said, I wasn't really into the Stones but the minute they hit the stage I was screaming like a girl, haha. Great show. Jimi Hendrix Star Spangled Banner on the speakers on the way out, classic. One of our friends who didn't ride with us said he did some acid, missed the show and ended up waking up in some pickup truck bed after it was over,.
Went both days.
What good shows.
The Concert
and don't forget the the bright pink stage they had set up. with the 2 catwalks on both side for mick to run on.
Awesome Show!
I was right up against the stage at this show. We slept on the sidewalk, and ran in the second the gates opened!

This mall is dying. Losing JC Penney very soon. Lost Sears last fall. Not much to go to this mall for except to walk without crowds.. Very sad mall.
When you're there on a Friday night and it's dead, that tells you everything. Lots of empty stores and nothing to do.
Even though it's had its heyday, Chambersburg mall had enough anchor stores remaining to spend three hours Christmas shopping there without the crowds or traffic jams. Good location and all on one floor too. Not much to choose from in the "food court". Prices and selections helped make a dent on Christmas shopping list. Property needs to be refreshed though.
Not a large mall, but a nice variety of stores. JC Penny & Sears are the anchor stores. Has a movie theater. Prices throughout are reasonable. Has a nice Bonanza steak house also.
Not many stores and if it were not for Bon Ton I would probably never go there. They are also lacking any real restaurants nearby. The movie theater is incredibly small.
Alot of good stores and alot of good buys in them. Love the "As seen on tv" store. And I love the pretels at Annies. Always find a good parking place too.
I rarely go to the Cburg Mall since the new shopping area has come closer to town (Norland and Gateway Shopping Center) and there really aren't that many great stores left at the mall and it was just recently sold to new owner just a week or two ago. Hopefully they have plans go update it and bring some new...
It's just average; nothing great! It has some nice stores and places where you can purchase food. It's not very large but it does have a Sears. Compared to other malls I have been to, it is just average or a little below.
I hated giving the chambersburg mall even 1 terrible vote. This place should have closed 10 years ago.
Since 2002 when we first moved to Chambersburg, this mall has been one of the last places you would want to spend time shopping. While you are in Chambersburg, you are within reasonable distance of both Gettysburg and Hagerstown outlet stores and malls which offer much more. It seems as if the tenant stores have no interest in perking up...

Looking back over the top moments of 2014, and we couldn't help but recall Michael Schumacher's skiing accident, but more importantly his trip home and further progress.

Are motorcycles your true calling?
Shop Class as Soulcraft
examines the nature of work in our society and how the manual trade of motorcycle repair can be uplifting.
Books make ideal gifts and there are plenty of good reads out there for the gearhead in your life. Our editors deliver their picks for page-turning tomes in the Motorcycle Gift Guide Books:
Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work
By Matthew B. Crawford
There's a reason you'll find
Shop Class as Soulcraft
filed in the Philosophy section at your local bookstore. Matthew B. Crawford's 246-page work is a well-argued treatise on work. As the modern world shifts ever more into abstractions, here is a clarion call heralding the value of maintenance and repair work. As the book jacket hails: "For those who felt hustled off to college, then to the cubicle,
Shop Class as Soulcraft
seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life work choosing." A philosopher mechanic in his own right (he owns a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Chicago), Crawford speaks from experience, having left unsatisfying and sometimes high-paying desk jobs for his current gig running an independent motorcycle repair shop. This is a book worthy of examination. Crawford delves deep, delivering big ideas in bite-sized morsels. - Bart

Top Dead Center
contains a collection of essays which focus on Cameron's personal experiences with racing.
Top Dead Center
By Kevin Cameron
Fans of motorcycle journalism are already familiar with Kevin Cameron. For decades a stalwart of Cycle World Magazine, Cameron's best work has been collected in the Top Dead Center volumes (
Top Dead Center
Top Dead Center 2
). TDC features content culled primarily from Cameron's encyclopedic knowledge of and personal history with motorcycle racing. A collection of essays, each TDC entry is a welcome mental repast focusing on various topics – the best being honest character studies of motorcycle giants. Some entries are quite personal too, with some of the more insightful nuggets found in the Cameron's article introductions as the writer recalls the story behind the stories. Having been honored to share a dinner table at press events with Cameron, we can say his prose reads much like his speech - thoughtful, honest and concise. There's a lot of meat in the pages of TDC. Zero fluff. And in this digital age of ours, sorting through the fluff is near impossible. Get these books. - Bart
Indian Larry Chopper Shaman
is filled with photographs, and is quite the visual treat for any motorcycle enthusiast.
Indian Larry Chopper Shaman
By Dave Nichols
There will never be another Indian Larry. Enigmatic, charismatic, a larger-than-life visionary who used motorcycles as a medium, to this day enthusiasts still marvel at the depth of his artistry. Unfortunately, he passed in his prime, but there's still an excellent way to get to know the man courtesy of Dave Nichols' compelling biography
Indian Larry Chopper Shaman
. What separates Nichols' work from the standard bio are the parallels he draws between Indian Larry and the life of a mythological hero. The book immortalizes his life by painting a realistic picture of the man without glossing over the fact that, like every man, Indian Larry fought his own demons. Small editorials provided by other custom motorcycle builders like Billy Lane and Paul Yaffe provide deeper insight into the Chopper Shaman. The book is filled with photographs shot by Michael Lichter and contributed by Indian Larry's muse, Bambi, and can be enjoyed without reading a word. But you'll want to read it for the depth of Nichols' prose. - Bryan

Indian Larry Chopper Shaman Review
For all those looking to improve their technical skills, Clarke's book lays out the intricacies of a motorcycle in an easy to understand fashion.
Modern Motorcycle Technology
By Massimo Clarke
The engineering behind a modern motorcycle is a thing of beauty. Simple in its purpose, a motorcycle operates thanks to a series of systems, the complexity of which befuddles the average rider. Enter
Modern Motorcycle Technology
by Italian motojournalist Massimo Clarke, which lays out the nuts and bolts in easy-to-understand jargon. This book is for the How-Things-Work crowd, with each motorcycle system laid out in a straightforward, piecemeal manner. Visual learners, like myself, will appreciate the ample photos and illustrations, particularly the well-executed cut-away drawings. The subject matter can get dry, so riders apathetic to the internal machinations of their rides and gearhead know-it-alls need not apply. But for curious enthusiasts wanting a firmer technical grounding – this is your book. - Bart
The Devil Can Ride – The World's Best Motorcycle Writing
Edited by Lee Klancher
Lee Klancher compiles some of the most important literary pieces in the two-wheeled world, including
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Grease Under the Angel's Wings.
The Devil Can Ride – The World's Best Motorcycle Writing
proves that all motorcyclists aren't leather vest and chap wearing boobs with a Jethro Bodine education. Contrarily, the stories in the compilation are ripped straight off the pages of respected publications like
The New Yorker, McSweeney's
and the metaphysical novel
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
. It includes a variety of works, like Hunter S. Thompson's humorous recollection
Song of the Sausage Creature
where he test rides a Ducati 900 Campione del Mundo Desmodue Supersport for Cycle World magazine and almost kills himself. Then there's Brian Catterson's
Rockin' and Rollin'… Rollin'… Rollin'
, where Catterson's knowledge of Rush's body of work as an ardent fan is apparent as he shares his story of riding with Rush's legendary drummer, Neil Peart, from concert to concert during the band's Vapor Trails tour.
Grease Under the Angel's Wings
by Adele Kubin is short but poignant. It is a coming of age story from a girl who was taken in by the Hells Angels at only 11. In her piece, Kubin also challenges Hunter's depiction of women associated with the Hells Angels and refutes the story about his fallout with the Angels and the ensuing beat down he received. With 28 stories from a diverse cross section of writers,
The Devil Can Ride – The World's Best Motorcycle Writing
lives up to its bold claim. - Bryan
Husqvarna Success
By Gunnar Lindstrom
Husqvarna is one of the iconic brands in off-road motorcycle history. With the first bikes produced in 1903, the company has risen to greatness on a world scale and then suffered a series of setbacks that saw it fall into disarray. The rollercoaster story of the Swedish brand (now Italian) is multilayered and complex – just like the people who were involved. One of those men was Gunnar Lindstrom, who worked as a professional racer and engineer during some of Husky's most glorious years. Using his network of connections, Lindstrom sorts through Husqvarna's cloudy history with detail and personal insight unlike any publication to date. Two of Husqvarna's most recognized racers, Malcolm Smith and Torsten Hallman, provide forewords that lend another personal touch. Even if you aren't a die-hard loyalist, Husqvarna Success is easy to read and enjoyable for any motorcycle fan. - JC

I'm a moderate fan of the Halo franchise and I'm happy to be one. Bungie never seems to disappoint when it comes to creating a gung-ho, action-packed, science fiction universe in which aliens are just as good at building intimidating firearms as humans are. For some people it's the engaging storyline that pulled them in. For others, the lush environments provided a beautiful alternative to the standard color palette of contemporary war games such as the Modern Warfare and Battlefield series. For me, it was all about the guns. I used to hate picking up "alien" weapons in first-person shooters because the human guns felt a lot more effective; the truth is they were probably just less confusing to operate than their laser-spewing counterparts. But the reason I love Halo games so much in particular is the fact that Bungie has found a way to make the utilization of alien ordnance in the Halo series FUN. That was the kicker for me. I'll ditch my assault rifle for a Needler any day of the week if it means I can watch my enemy's needle-filled torso explode after 5 seconds of target-seeking rampage.
ODST, however—Bungie's latest foray into the constantly expanding Halo universe—personally left me wanting. The proverbial smile on my face that shows how happy I am to be a Halo fan has since been adjusted to a grin. Excited I was, then, to find out that every copy of ODST was also a golden ticket into Bungie's beta testing for the multiplayer modes of their upcoming Halo: Reach, due to release in the Fall of 2010. Having spent a considerable amount of time running around in the beta shooting alien guns to my heart's content, the question to be asked is this: does Bungie have a certified smile-inducer on their hands or will Reach join the likes of ODST as a game that never quite reaches its full potential? Do us Halo fans have something to be happy about again? While we won't be able to completely answer these questions until the full release of the game, the beta does provide us with a satisfying glimpse.
The first thing I noticed when jumping into the beta was the presentation of the user interface. Standard polished Halo-fare, a good thing since Bungie never really got this part wrong. When you can count on the menus to begin immersing you into the game world before you've even begun playing, you know the game developers have done something right. Reach is no exception, and the UI presentation leaves nothing to be desired. The Halo: Reach beta is a purely online multiplayer affair, something that I was extra excited about since I usually just jump straight into the online mode without playing the campaign mode anyway. With only a few levels and game types to choose from (they've scrapped the veto system to make room for a much simpler voting one; pick your desired stage and the one with the most votes wins), setting up sessions are quick and easy. I'm used to waiting around quite awhile for my mutiplayer sessions to start in Halo 3, so Reach's connection speeds are blazingly fast in comparison. This may be due to the fact that it's still in beta testing and not everyone in the world is pining for a spot in the game, but if Bungie can keep it this way—or relatively close—then they will have made a markedly vast improvement on the multiplayer mode already.
The game itself is a beautiful one. The visuals seem noticeably upgraded, so it feels like you're playing a whole new game rather than a rehash of something you've already played in the past (*ahem* ODST *cough*). Reach's mutiplayer environments are as visually stunning as they are expansive; the combination of better-detailed textures with a seemingly juiced up frame rate make for smooth in-game animations that feel much faster than any Halo you've played before. The sound effects are crisp as well, so you'll want to be playing this game LOUDLY when it drops in September. I know I had my surround-sound theater system squeezing every ounce of sound effect goodness outta the game whenever I was on Live. It's a proper feeling to be firing the different types of guns and hearing the little details like empty shells flying out of the super-fast pistol or the charging of the plasma grenade launcher just before you see the blue orbs home in on your unsuspecting victim. Attention to detail is a perfected category for Bungie.
While there aren't many modes to choose from in the beta, Bungie makes sure you aren't just running around in Slayer all day picking up the same rifles and hiding in the same corners. Invasion is a refreshingly hectic alternative to the standard four-on-four madness, and it really has a way of making you feel insignificant amidst the happenings of a decidedly larger battle. For those who love their objective games, there's no shortage of flags and skulls to capture and protect and they're just as fun to play as ever. Bungie has given some of these classic game types a new twist, so expect to be learning on the fly as you adjust yourself to some of the new rules. Which brings me to another point: the new control scheme. At first it was slightly annoying to have to relearn a new button getup for a game that us Halo fans should be able to just jump right into, but after spending some decent time with the game I feel that the changes were for the better. I've since learned how to play with two trigger fingers simultaneously now rather than just one, making for some game situations where I can react much faster with my melee attack during a firefight due to the remixed button layout.
At the end of the day, Ranked Slayer is the place I call home. Rolling around dodging vehicles and collecting the bouncing skulls of my dead opponents is all good and fun, but when it comes down to Reach's bread and butter, all you need is some nice, old-fashioned frag fest fun. Play hard or go home is the name of the game in this mode, where Bungie averages three of each player's ranked games per day to come up with a final division score. Whether you're bringing home 1600s and making momma proud or getting your Spartan ass rocked in the 1200 range, the Halo: Reach beta knows you like your bragging rights and it serves up accordingly. With new achievement medals to kill for and lots of new in-game goodies to try out, I can see how Reach is easily becoming one of my most anticipated games this Fall.
My only worry is that Bungie may not have had enough time to balance the multiplayer mode as much as I would have liked during the open beta testing. Now that beta is closed, I can only hope that the dev team took many overpowering issues into account. I had more than enough games picking the active camouflage loadout, securing the energy sword or shotgun and then wreaking invisible havoc on unsuspecting n00bs rounding each hallway corner without dying once. Needless to say, this game is a BLAST to play. I've never had so much unadulterated FUN flying around in a jetpack with such ease and getting headshots from the sky. The game is intuitive and easy to pick up, especially for veterans of the Halo series. Adjust your play style and study the new gun options/stages because there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be spending many online sleepless nights screaming obscenities into your Xbox headset at the 10-year old girl that just assassinated you from behind, Metal Gear Solid style.
Halo fans be happy: Reach is something to smile about.

Appeal for Ilir
03 Dec 12
Kelmend, in the far north of Albania, is one of the most remote and fascinating parts of Europe. The Terra Madre network extends even here, with two active food communities in the region: the Thethi producers, who make traditional products like honey, raki distilled from plums and other fruits and an unusual white flour ground using water mills from a local variety of corn; and the Lepushë producers, who make cheese and caj, infusions made from wild herbs and consumed throughout the year.
These small gastronomic treasures are struggling to resist environmental degradation and rural abandonment, especially by young people, which is leaving its mark on the local communities. A few people are holding out, seeking to keep alive local traditions and reinterpret them in a way that makes sense today. One of them is Ilir, a young man who is fighting against the tide. He has chosen to stay, together with his family, and to unite traditional food production with a small tourism business, promoting Lepushë caj and making it known to the many who don't even know it exists.
Ilir now has a workshop for processing medicinal herbs, and was in the process of building a guesthouse so that he can host tourists interesting in discovering destinations completely off the beaten track. His dream was slowly coming together, but it has been brutally interrupted by a serious fall, from a height of 5 meters. Ilir risks losing the use of his legs unless he undergoes an operation only available at a private clinic.
The Terra Madre network, conscious of the fact that helping him means helping the whole community, is mobilizing itself to raise the funds necessary to support the operation, which will cost €6,000.
To help Ilir, his family and a community's dream:

But before you answer that mentoring is NOT having someone else create, plan or manage your character for you!!!
Mentoring follows when good Character Creation has been developed.
You do not get mentored to promote! You get mentored to grow!!!! Promotion or your next career step may be an effect but it cannot be the reason you are asking to be mentored!
Mentoring is helping someone attain a level of excellence in select areas so that they are capable of enhancing their character development
Next question - In what area do you want to improve to the point of excellence? Lets describe What is Mentoring?
•One person working with another to develop higher skill levels and excellence in the one mentored. •Partnership •An opportunity to grow (for the one mentored)
•An opportunity to leave a legacy (for the mentor)
•Mentoring is driven by the one mentored
•Highly effective, when it works I want to highlight mentoring is driven by the one mentored. I hate to say it you are in the driver's seat.

1. Person who developed me the most: A kind leader of a Gorean Tribe on the lands of Tharna. I was just a cub when they found me in the forests, and she gently allowed me to grow up in the tribe, and learn to survive. Also learned some healing with their healer, and the City physician, who was kind to a lost girl. I learned to be an adult as well as take care of myself and also allowed me to study the healing ways, and later travel with the scouts to other forests to help people as I could and eventually be an adult healer.
2. Having and wanting a mentor: A mentor is vital to give you support on your path, and use their connections to find opportunities to practice and grow. She should be active in the relationship and go with you to cities to introduce you, and my present Mentor does just that.
3. Area for most improvement: I need experience and training in the use of Gorean herbs, and compounding medicines.
4. What makes a good Mentor: A good mentor teaches you the way she had wanted to be taught. To keep her student excited, involved, and inspired by her own work and how she guides you.
1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

1. Who was the person who has developed you to the highest level of excellence? And How? You can answer this for SL or for life in general.
I do have someone very special to me who has helped my understanding and growth within Gor tremendously. He has been the best mentor ever, in and out of SL. His focus and guidance have been invaluable. I have also had the pleasure of having two great Physician mentors...Mina Lyvette and Miyam Letov. Both of these ladies have been fundamental in my understanding of my caste.
2. How Many of You Would Like to Have a Mentor? And Why?
I have enjoyed very much having mentors. Their experience and opinions on various things have been very useful.
3. In what area do you want to improve to the point of excellence?
I am not a doctor in real life, nor have I finished reading all 28 books of Gor. So I can use all the expertise in both of these realms. However, I am an educated professional and I have read several of the books, so I am not completely clueless.
4. What Makes a Good Mentor?
A good mentor is someone who can work with their given student well. Their personalities don't clash and they can have open and honest communication so that the student can achieve their potential.
Do you find this valuable?

"Has Sheila Dikshit come here?" a man asked his wife, prompted by a blaring loudspeaker, as the couple crossed the busy ITO junction on the afternoon of September 17. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had, in fact, come to the gathering outside the Police Headquarters but not in flesh and blood. Her face was plastered across posters and placards that were criticising the State Government's recently launched food security scheme.
It was the first day of the three-day hunger strike organised a few kilometres from the Delhi Secretariat by the Communist Party of India (Marxist). They called for scrutiny of the Food Security Act and ending corruption in making ration cards. The voice booming from the speakers belonged to politburo member "Comrade" Brinda Karat.
On August 20, Delhi became the first State to roll out this national programme. As much as 44 per cent of the city's population will be covered under the food security scheme and it will bring 32 lakh people from the most vulnerable households under its purview. A total of 73.5 lakh people, out of the city population of 1.68 crore, will benefit from the scheme. In the first phase, all Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, Above Poverty Line (APL) card holders, Jhuggi Ration Card (JRC) holders and beneficiaries under Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) will be included.
"Sheila Dikshit said Delhi will be 'hunger free'. But before the scheme was launched, BPL members used to get 35 kg of grain every month. Now, each member of a family is entitled to only five kg of food grains," said Ms. Karat. "A family of three, which used to get 35 kg of grain, will now receive only 15 kg each month. This is a reduction of 20 kg!"
Her audience comprising men and women from different parts of the Capital, including Sonia Vihar, Kabir Nagar and Bawana nodded in agreement. "This is the Congress, and this is the BJP who together implemented this law," Ms. Karat continued.
A day before the hunger strike, Delhi Food and Civil Supplies Minister Haroon Yusuf said that people had responded "enthusiastically" towards the scheme launched in the beginning of September. "People are coming forward in large numbers to get enrolled for new cards to avail the benefit of the scheme," he said. According to government records, more than five lakh households covering 25 lakh people have applied so far, on average 60,000 forms are received every day and elaborate arrangements have been made to make forms available in 250 places across Delhi. The government, to ease the process, has even decided to accept photocopies of the application forms.
Despite Mr. Yusuf's reassuring words — asking people not to be impatient as the last date for submitting forms has not been fixed — the mood on the ground reflected not impatience as much as an unnecessary hassle that could have been avoided. Several beneficiaries The Hindu spoke to, especially those from the BPL category preferred the previous ration system that guaranteed 35 kg of grain each month. As one woman put it, "Earlier we were paying more for more grain. Now, we pay less for less grain. That's the only difference."
Local committee member of CPI (M) East Delhi Maimoona Mollah was among those who demonstrated outside the office of the FSO in Sonia Vihar on September 13. The demonstration was to demand reinstatement of the provision for 35 kg of food grains for BPL families and to control mismanagement in the process of new ration cards. "We oppose the per person cap," said Ms. Mollah, referring to the five-kg cap per family member. "Add to this, many fair price shop owners have imposed a cap on their own. In one of the ration shops in Sonia Vihar, the shopkeeper has interpreted the guideline (which says 25 kg should be given to a family of five members) to mean 25 kg is the cap on a family of five members or above," she added.
Further, Ms. Mollah pointed to inconvenience caused to beneficiaries at the time of filling forms. This is despite the city government promising a "simple and hassle-free" process of filling forms linked to Aadhaar cards. "I have heard of instances where women have gone to submit their forms only to be told that their Aadhaar cards appear fake or simple faults are found with the way forms are filled up to delay the process further," she added.
The scheme has also led to the rise of touts making a quick buck from both selling forms (average Rs. 50) and offering to fill forms (between Rs. 100 and Rs. 150) for beneficiaries, Ms. Mollah pointed out.
However, the city government has responded by claiming to have taken strict action against those who are misguiding people and has even lodged two FIRs so far against people indulging in such malpractices.

(Shorter) Content is King
Posted by Steve Sonn in Blogging, Communication, Content, Facebook, Marketing, Twitter, Writing on June 5, 2012
Bigger isn't always better. In fact, when it comes to content, shorter, bite-sized pieces are often (but not always) better. For marketers and content publishers, competition for attention and speed of information almost necessitates shorter content in many cases.
Shorter content allows more frequent publishing, which is needed when the average life of a tweet, Facebook or Google+ post is only hours.
It can also be saved and built into lengthier content pieces. Entire books have come out of a of series of blog posts. If the content is collected it can be used for any number of long-form applications.
Bite-sized content also allows fast communication. Views can be shared more immediately while news is breaking.
Passive audiences are also more likely to consume a short piece of content than a piece they fear will steal their time.
Long content pieces will always continue to have their place and importance. But with content marking, saying it as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality are becoming as important as ever.
Here are a couple excellent (but longer) posts on content brevity:

For those 25 years of age and younger, joblessness remains a disaster both in the United States and elsewhere.
German chancellor Angela Merkel risked incurring the wrath of struggling Eurozone countries by saying unemployed youngsters must be prepared to move for work. Merkel was quick to add that it was unfair that young people have to pay the bill for something they did not cause.
Labor force flexibility offers a less desperate solution than requiring young job seekers to leave home or country.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
I did enjoy the aymestry lodges but compared to other lodges, it was very dated inside, no towels were provided, or dishwasher tablets etc could do with modernising and more well equipped inside.
The lodges are very nice and quiet, especially as there are so few lodges on site. There is plenty of outdoor seating area, and the outside space has been very well designed. Inside, there is everything that you want.
If you want a hectic life this is not the place for you as there is virtually no telephone signal and wi-fi, and the nearest shop is a car journey away.
Just remember to take towels with you as they are not provided, although you can hire some for a small charge if you forget to take them with you (or don't read all of the booking conditions!).
This is a fabulous place only two moans
1 they need to invest in much better mattresses
2 the shower is not very powerful
Other than that great
Fab weekend with the girls, lovely lodge.
Lovely spot and will be going again in October 2015.
Absolute amazimg place cant wait to book to go again ..
We loved the setting and the lodge. Found it a bit dark inside the lodge and a cold run around the lodge to get in and out of the hot tub. Hot tub was good but have been in better ones. Perhaps needing updating? The welcome basket of free range eggs in fridge was a lovely surprise.
Had a fantastic 50th , nice and relaxing great weather nice walks. Lovely food down the road in either direction. Spacious lodge and great location. The hot tub was a pleasure.
We always have a fantastic quiet break there just hate how the prices go up during school holidays
so peaceful lovely idyllic surroundings
Lovely wooden lodge, well equipped and very clean. We were able to use hot tub on first evening. Park is small and well maintained. Very quiet spot in small village. Good walking round about.
Absolutely idyllic, couldn't of asked for anything more. Beautiful clean lodge, fully equipped, comfortable, warm and cosey.
A lovely weekend enjoyed by us all, can't fault a single thing, definately be booking again soon - thank you
Fantastic weekend. All the amenities you could need, clean and comfortable. So peaceful.
Would recommend Aymestrey
This was a really lovely holiday park and the lodges are really nice. This is the first time we have visited Aymestrey but we were really impressed with the location and the lodges and will definitely visit again.
