White grubs live in the soil and feed on the roots of turf. Most white grubs have a one year life cycle in Georgia. Adult beetles lay eggs in late spring or early summer. The eggs hatch into grubs which feed and grow through the summer and fall, then dig down to spend the winter deep in the soil.

Originally written on Padres Public | Last updated 8/23/13
Before the season, I meant to write about three Padres pitchers that intrigued me in a way that virtually every other guy on the staff did not: Tyson Ross, Andrew Cashner, and Anthony Bass. Each had shown bursts of promise, had been touted in the past, and was entering his physical prime. They might be nothing, but unlike with Jason Marquis, Clayton Richard, and Eric Stults, at least there was a chance. That was the theory, anyway. With the schedule nearly 80 percent complete, now might be a good time to actually write something. We'll start with Ross. First, here's an oversimplified look at his performance through August 21, 2013: IP ERA+ WAR K%* OPS** 85.1 122 1.2 22.0 612 *K% is K/PA. Not all innings are created equal, so this is a little more precise than K/9. League average is 19.6. Higher is better. **OPS is OBP+SLG compiled by batters against the pitcher. League average is 707. Lower is better. Short version: When healthy, the 26-year-old right-hander has been ...

Comments about SPORTCRAFT 2-Player Badminton Racquet Set:
My wife bought those rackets from Sports Authority, and when i saw them, i could tell right away the cheap quality starting from the racket's strings to the handle. But i said I might be wrong. On the same day and in less than a half hour game, the rackets started to fall off. I'm returning it today for sure. Not even good for kids...

US Drone Strike in Pakistan Reeks of Political Retaliation Yet Again
Today, US drones killed four more people in North Waziristan in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). This strike comes at a critical time in US-Pakistan relations, as many believed that the US and Pakistan would announce an agreement reopening NATO supply routes through Pakistan at last weekend's NATO summit in Chicago. Instead of reaching agreement, however, Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari was essentially shunned at the ... Full Story »Posted by Dwight Rousu

Facebook suicide prevention chat made available by social network
MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) — Facebook is making it easier for people who express suicidal thoughts on the social networking site to get help.
A program launching Tuesday enables users to instantly connect with a crisis counselor from the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline through Facebook's "chat" messaging system.
If a friend spots a suicidal thought on someone's page, he can report it to Facebook by clicking a link next to the comment. Facebook then sends an email to the person who posted the comment encouraging that user to call the hotline or click a link for a confidential chat.
The service is Facebook's latest move aimed at improving safety on its site.
Facebook says the goal is to get a person in distress help as quickly as possible.

For a limited time, and at a special price, discover Pamela Palmer's Feral Warriors with Desire Untamed, the first book in the series. Plus, receive deleted scenes and excerpts from Pamela's entire collection, including her new book, A Love Untamed, available December 26th.
In Desire Untamed, Kara MacAllister thinks she's just an average, small-town pre-school teacher until the night a mysterious stranger shows up at her door claiming she's not only immortal, but the chosen one of a band of powerful shape-shifting males. Lyon steals her away from everything she knows and thrusts her into a world beyond her comprehension, a world filled with magic, nightmares, and perilous danger where Kara discovers an inner strength she never knew she possessed, and a passion in the arms of Lyon beyond anything she ever imagined.
As he works with Kara, preparing her to become the source of power for the Feral Warriors, Lyon is swept away by Kara's vulnerable beauty and tempted beyond all reason by a desire he can't deny. But when Lyon realizes his band of warriors has been infiltrated by an ancient evil, he begins to question whether Kara is quite as innocent as she seems.
And he begins to wonder if the woman who's stolen his heart is destined to be his salvation...or his doom.
About the Author
Pamela Palmer is the "New York Times" and "USA Today" bestselling author of the Vamp City series, the Jewels of Time series, and the Feral Warriors series. When her initial career goal of captaining starships failed to pan out, she turned to engineering, satisfying her desire for adventure with books and daydreams. Pamela lives in Washington, D.C.

29 CFR 1910.25 - Portable wood ladders.
(a) Application of requirements. This section is intended to prescribe rules and establish minimum requirements for the construction, care, and use of the common types of portable wood ladders, in order to insure safety under normal conditions of usage. Other types of special ladders, fruitpicker's ladders, combination step and extension ladders, stockroom step ladders, aisle-way step ladders, shelf ladders, and library ladders are not specifically covered by this section.
(i) All wood parts shall be free from sharp edges and splinters; sound and free from accepted visual inspection from shake, wane, compression failures, decay, or other irregularities. Low density wood shall not be used.
(2) Portable stepladders. Stepladders longer than 20 feet shall not be supplied. Stepladders as hereinafter specified shall be of three types:
Type I—Industrial stepladder, 3 to 20 feet for heavy duty, such as utilities, contractors, and industrial use.
Type II—Commercial stepladder, 3 to 12 feet for medium duty, such as painters, offices, and light industrial use.
Type III—Household stepladder, 3 to 6 feet for light duty, such as light household use.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) A uniform step spacing shall be employed which shall be not more than 12 inches. Steps shall be parallel and level when the ladder is in position for use.
(c) The minimum width between side rails at the top, inside to inside, shall be not less than 111/2 inches. From top to bottom, the side rails shall spread at least 1 inch for each foot of length of stepladder.
(d)-(e) [Reserved]
(f) A metal spreader or locking device of sufficient size and strength to securely hold the front and back sections in open positions shall be a component of each stepladder. The spreader shall have all sharp points covered or removed to protect the user. For Type III ladder, the pail shelf and spreader may be combined in one unit (the so-called shelf-lock ladder).
(b) [Reserved]
(iii) Two-section ladder. (a) Two-section extension ladders longer than 60 feet shall not be supplied. All ladders of this type shall consist of two sections, one to fit within the side rails of the other, and arranged in such a manner that the upper section can be raised and lowered.
(b) [Reserved]
(iv) Sectional ladder. (a) Assembled combinations of sectional ladders longer than lengths specified in this subdivision shall not be used.
(b) [Reserved]
(v) Trestle and extension trestle ladder. (a) Trestle ladders, or extension sections or base sections of extension trestle ladders longer than 20 feet shall not be supplied.
(b) [Reserved]
(b) [Reserved]
(iii) Mason's ladder. A mason's ladder is a special type of single ladder intended for use in heavy construction work.
(a) Mason's ladders longer than 40 feet shall not be supplied.
(b) [Reserved]
(1) Care. To insure safety and serviceability the following precautions on the care of ladders shall be observed:
(i) Ladders shall be maintained in good condition at all times, the joint between the steps and side rails shall be tight, all hardware and fittings securely attached, and the movable parts shall operate freely without binding or undue play.
(iv) Safety feet and other auxiliary equipment shall be kept in good condition to insure proper performance.
(x) Ladders shall be inspected frequently and those which have developed defects shall be withdrawn from service for repair or destruction and tagged or marked as "Dangerous, Do Not Use."
(i) Portable rung and cleat ladders shall, where possible, be used at such a pitch that the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is one-quarter of the working length of the ladder (the length along the ladder between the foot and the top support). The ladder shall be so placed as to prevent slipping, or it shall be lashed, or held in position. Ladders shall not be used in a horizontal position as platforms, runways, or scaffolds;
(ii) Ladders for which dimensions are specified should not be used by more than one man at a time nor with ladder jacks and scaffold planks where use by more than one man is anticipated. In such cases, specially designed ladders with larger dimensions of the parts should be procured;
(iii) Portable ladders shall be so placed that the side rails have a secure footing. The top rest for portable rung and cleat ladders shall be reasonably rigid and shall have ample strength to support the applied load;
(iv) Ladders shall not be placed in front of doors opening toward the ladder unless the door is blocked upon, locked, or guarded;
(v) Ladders shall not be placed on boxes, barrels, or other unstable bases to obtain additional height;
(viii) Ladders with broken or missing steps, rungs, or cleats, broken side rails, or other faulty equipment shall not be used; improvised repairs shall not be made;
(xi) Ladders shall not be used as guys, braces, or skids, or for other than their intended purposes;
(xiii) On two-section extension ladders the minimum overlap for the two sections in use shall be as follows:
|Size of ladder (feet)
|Overlap (feet)
|Up to and including 36
|Over 36 up to and including 48
|Over 48 up to and including 60
(xiv) Portable rung ladders with reinforced rails (see paragraphs (c)(3) (ii)(c) and (iii)(d) this section) shall be used only with the metal reinforcement on the under side;
(xv) No ladder should be used to gain access to a roof unless the top of the ladder shall extend at least 3 feet above the point of support, at eave, gutter, or roofline;
(xvii) Middle and top sections of sectional or window cleaner's ladders should not be used for bottom section unless the user equips them with safety shoes;
(xix) The user should equip all portable rung ladders with nonslip bases when there is a hazard of slipping. Nonslip bases are not intended as a substitute for care in safely placing, lashing, or holding a ladder that is being used upon oily, metal, concrete, or slippery surfaces;
(xx) The bracing on the back legs of step ladders is designed solely for increasing stability and not for climbing.

Heroic Ft. Hood Police Officer Graduated from CFCC
Ten years ago, Kimberly Munley was an aspiring law enforcement officer and enrolled in the Basic Law Enforcement program at Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington, NC program in August 1999.
Instructor Ricky Simpson remembers her as an "excellent student who was quick to smile and tackle any assignment."
"She was small in stature, but very large in heart and determination. She would not be denied the opportunity to work in law enforcement. No matter the task - driving, defense tactics, building searches, firearms or the 30 other areas of study she was up to the task," Simpson said.
CFCC's Basic Law Enforcement class was approximately 17 weeks at that time. After passing the N.C. State certification examination in December 1999, she was certified to work in N.C. She was hired by the Wrightsville Beach Police Department and did well.

Power Modules Address Power Supply Challenges
Intersil Corporation announced the ISL8204M and ISL8206M, the newest members of its family of compact power modules. The ISL8204M and ISL8206M are complete switch-mode power supplies in a single compact surface-mount package. Included within the module is a PWM controller, power MOSFETs, power inductor and associated discrete components. These products are footprint compatible with the company's ISL8201M to allow designers to fix their point-of-load (POL) power requirements much later in the design cycle and optimize system power needs without having to re-layout the PCB. This family of new modules is appropriate for computing, telecommunications and networking infrastructure, and industrial products. The ISL8204/06/01M's compact 15mm x 15mm x 3.5 mm package consumes very little PCB area. With the thermally enhanced QFN package, heat is dissipated through the bottom of the package, which frequently eliminates the need for a bulky heat sink or cooling fan. The ISL8204/06M operate at up to 95 percent efficiency with a wide input voltage range of 1 V to 20 V. A single resistor sets VOUT from 0.6 V to 6 with +/- 1 percent accuracy. All three modules also feature overcurrent protection, internal soft start with pre-biased output start-up and fast transient response.

Table 2.3. Statistical regression analyses of worker attitudes on occupational groupings revealed that occupations accounted for a decreasing amount of variance in attitudes toward work and employment between 1985 and 1996. The ability to predict work attitudes based solely on respondents' occupations diminished from 1985 to 1996.1
We analyze the nature of work within these categories by considering four dimensions along which work varies and appears to be changing in significant ways:
We view these as key dimensions of work. In various scientific literatures, they are the primary concepts that have been used to study the relationship between skills and wages, between skills and compensation, and other features of jobs and occupations. The exception is industrial and organizational psychology, which tends to use more refined indicators for skill. These four dimensions also are broadly supported by multivariate studies that factor analyze more detailed measures of work in search of underlying factors or dimensions (for example, see National Research Council, 1980; for a review, see Spenner, 1990). Thus, these

Yes, since updating to Mavericks, I have issues streaming many 1080p videos in XBMC. They have weird glitches/tearing/red lines, etc. and look awful. It has been driving me nuts. Heard there was some OpenGL issues in Mavericks that may be the culprit? Sure hope this new version fixes it. If anyone has a workaround for me, please share! Thanks.
Pre-release version of Mavericks 10.9.1 seeded to developers
Apple on Friday posted a pre-release version of OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. The new release is available for download only if you're a registered Mac developer; it's available through Apple's developer web site.
Information about what's changed is included in a seed note that's available to developers, but that information remains under Apple's non-disclosure agreement, so we'll refrain from posting details at this time.
Bottom line: if you're a registered developer, go check it out and read the seed note and see if it's worth your while to test. Everyone else, be ready for a point update to Mavericks in the coming days, unless Apple or developers find any showstoppers.
Have you found any showstoppers in the release version of Mavericks? What do you dislike, or what's bothering you? Sound off in the comments. And for more on Mavericks, read our review.

Pre-release version of Mavericks 10.9.1 seeded to developers
Can't wait to hear what is coming next in Mavericks or what is getting fixed. Initially I updated from ML and a thing or two were bothersome included battery life and the emojis keyboard not working so I decided to make a clean install and haven't had problems since and battery life improved, so no complaints for now.
I just hope they found a way for AirDrop to be cross-compatible.

Yes please! I absolutely would live by that feature. I am constantly having to email files to my iPad or phone just so I can text them to people. I'm surprised air drop doesnt work across all platforms yet.

Try an app called Instashare for Mac and iPhone/iPad. It's what I use. Granted Apple should probably do it, but in the meantime there is a way that works quite well

I have had only one noticeable issue since upgrading to Mavericks and that is smart groups in contacts.app. After creating the smart group it does not auto fill all the contacts when typing in the name of the group in the "to" field in mail. Although, since contact groups work perfectly I have used that as a work around for now. Otherwise it has been a pretty painless upgrade. I look forward to seeing why this update includes.
I look forward to an update. I am using an older system (MBP 13-2010) and I have noticed that the battery actually has not improved and performance has decreased a touch with it hanging. I assume this is do to its CPU/battery saving second by second adjustments and that maybe it will learn how I work and not pull CPU from a background app that I reference while working but it has been noticeably slower. Maybe this is just a sign that I should upgrade but it is hard to convince myself to to since the system still meets my needs.

In System Preferences in my 2012 MBP home main user NONE of the Advanced buttons work. I have to go to another user to adjust anything. Also in that same Users & Groups it's impossible to make a new user or to delete an old one.
Also in my main home folder I am unable to change settings to allow software from anyone. It just keeps kicking back to Apple Only.
BTW….why to we have enter the App Store password for [U]NUMEROUS[/U] apps that were bought on an earlier computer???
Why does iMovie have an update that says my older iMac video card won't work, and keeps on asking me to install it and won't dim out that it is not available? There needs to be an update that works for those Macs also.
I haven't been experiencing any major issues so far but I have noticed that with a few apps I use regularly there are glitchy onscreen lines that are interrupting the apps' GUI. ...As far as I know, it's probably just my old iMac and possibly in related to Mavericks.

Ever since I upgraded to mavericks. Some application icons disappears and slow respond to finder. There's times my Mac mini lags and memory gets slow.

Fluor to build and operate California solar energy facility
IRVING, Texas — Fluor Corp. says that Centinela Solar Energy, LLC, a member of LS Power Group, has awarded it a lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, as well as a separate contract for ongoing operations and maintenance services for its new nominal 170-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located in Southern California.
Fluor has been awarded both the 125-megawatt Phase 1 and the 45-megawatt Phase 2 of the Centinela project and received full notice-to-proceed for Phase 1. Phase 2 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2013.
"This significant new win for Fluor further solidifies our position as a leader in the solar power engineering and construction industry," says Dave Dunning, president of Fluor's Power Group. "We look forward to expanding our solar resume and delivering our second solar PV project for LS Power. Fluor's decades of project management expertise and our financial strength demonstrates our ability to bring a turnkey solution to our clients for their utility-scale solar developments."
The Centinela project is located on approximately 1,600 acres in Imperial County, Calif., approximately 90 miles east of San Diego, and has all major permits secured for the project. This project will help meet the regional need for renewable energy and will be one of the first major projects to tie into the newly constructed Sunrise Powerlink Transmission Line. Centinela Solar Energy has closed financing for the project and has 20-year power purchase agreements with San Diego Gas & Electric for the entire power output from the facility, enough electricity to power more than 60,000 homes.

Mangotsfield railway station was a station on the Midland Railway Bristol and Gloucester main line and was situated about five miles to the north east of Bristol in what is now the suburb of Mangotsfield.
The station was the junction for the Mangotsfield and Bath Branch Line that led to Bath Green Park railway station and on southwards over the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway to Bournemouth. It had six platforms, including a bay platform used by the passenger service to Clifton Down which ran over the Thirteen Arches viaduct. The latter services were discontinued in 1940 following the outbreak of war and were never reinstated. Part of the line to Bath now forms the Avon Valley Railway, which has its headquarters at Bitton.
The line to Bath was strengthened in the 1930s so as to take heavier locomotives and the station was very busy until the 1960s, when the Beeching Report recommended closure. The station closed in 1966 when services between Bristol and Bath on the line were withdrawn; stopping services between Bristol and Gloucester on the Midland line had been withdrawn in 1965 and the last regular through passenger train to use the third side of the triangle, which connected Bath and Gloucester but bypassed the station itself and did not have platforms, had ended in 1962 with the re-routing of the Pines Express away from the Midland and Somerset & Dorset lines, though some freight used it later.
Carson's chocolate factory occupied the centre of the triangle (along with its own cricket pitch) and had its own siding which saw chocolate trains until the early 1960s. The station also handled a lot of racing pigeon traffic, the birds being loaded into special vans. The mail train, which in the days of the Travelling Post Office always had to have the mail catcher on the left, was turned every day on the triangle until the mid-1960s.
The station was the inspiration behind Arnold Ridley's play "The Ghost Train" after Ridley found himself stranded there overnight.
The station is now on the route of the Bristol & Bath Railway Path, part of National Cycle Route 4.

I've been in weight loss mode for a while now. About 7 months or so. When I started this venture I was 250 pounds and am now 211. My goal is 180 pounds. For reference, I'm about 6 ft and have a medium to large frame. I'm combining strength training (every other day) with cardio (running 10-20 miles a week depending on how my body is doing and what the weather is like). I'm also eating healthy foods and no longer drink drinks with much calories if they have calories at all. But by, despite all the details, I've lost a lot of weight and have developed a new lifestyle that works for me.
Now that I'm more than half-way to my goal I'm curious about what I should do once I get there. I'm in weight loss mode kinda but really I don't see me not running, lifting weights, or eating the way I'm eating now after I get to 180. So I guess if I keep losing weight that means that my body hasn't reached its ideal weight yet. I guess? Right? I mean should I do something different when I get to 180? I'm sorry if this sounds dumb but I've never lost this much weight before and haven't really planned ahead very well. The goal just seemed so far away. But now I'm coming up on it and I don't know what I'm supposed to do once I get there.

Hi guys,
Im in 8th grade im 6 foot tall. I have a problem see I made this travel team but im pretty sure its because im tall and athletic. I cant score at all i go into practice thinking im going to be great but as soon as i get in this scrimmages I just cant score. I can pass, but when the ball is passed to me for some reason I just pass it right back to someone else. Please give me some tips on how I can boost my confidence. When im warming up im making every shot and going game speed.
I need to improve quick I will not settle for the bench
Woah dude we need you on are team! Tallest guy we have is 5'8 haha. Well back to the question. I guess just practice, practice, practice! When you practice more you, improve and that helps covince your mind that you CAN do it! Everybody is always like that when they first join a team. Just relax. When my confidence is down, I look online for good articles. I reccommend http://theunguardables.com/. Love the coach and articles there. I also reccommend any articles on here and to read some good books by John Madden and great sports coaches.
Based on your post, I would say you have the opportunity to become a good scorer. Be confident in yourself. All the practice and shooting that you have done pays off in games. You can't make a shot if you don't take it in the first place. Also, don't be afraid of failure! Because, you WILL miss shots. Everybody has. But take those failures and negatives and learn. We can learn best from our failures. Hope this helps!

The committee heard powerful and moving testimony from individuals with disabilities who believe that genetic testing and the consequent increase in abortion promote the premise that individuals with disabilities (whether tests exist for early detection or not) have less intrinsic worth. They pointed out that many people with disabilities lead full and productive lives and that society's negative view of disabilities is sometimes of greater harm to them than the disabilities themselves (Waxman, 1992). Some people with disabilities would resist any expansion of genetic testing. The committee recognizes the weight of these concerns and urges broad public education to dispel myths about people with disabilities—genetic or otherwise—and to reduce barriers to their participation in society (see Chapter 5). The committee rejects the notion of restricting any expansion of genetic testing based on the concerns of persons with disabilities that the technologies are inherently harmful. Such a restriction would undermine individual autonomy as much as the view that people should be urged or forced to use genetic tests and abortion to prevent disabilities. Nevertheless, the concerns of persons with disabilities are critical ones for our society. The committee is concerned that society may be moving closer to adopting the view that people should be urged or forced to use genetic tests and abortion to prevent disabilities; steps must be taken to counteract this tendency by decreasing pressures to test and increasing education and understanding of disabilities. If testing becomes widespread, efforts to urge people to undergo genetic testing might engender a greater intolerance for persons with disabilities—even though most disabilities are not the result of genetic causes. Avoiding the social pitfalls of intolerance based on genetic testing will require continuing vigilance.

By STEVEN NALLEY
The Starkville Board of Aldermen will consider approving an application for a grant to revamp a stretch of Highway 12 near Mississippi State University into a "Grand Bullyvard," an area that would be more amenable to pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to and from campus.
If the item is approved, the city will apply to receive a $400,000 discretionary grant from the Transportation, Community and System Preservation Program, a division of the Federal Highway Administration. This money would fund in-depth planning for "Grand Bullyvard: A Livability Retrofit of Highway 12," which includes refined corridor planning, transportation analysis, economic feasibility analysis and preliminary engineering.
Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman said the plan came from Placemakers, LLC, which has been working on a set of form-based codes to guide future development in conjunction with the city's zoning rules.
Typically, the city's Planning and Zoning Commission sets rules for how property can be used in certain areas, including commercial, industrial and residential use. Form-based codes add more focused rules, allowing developers to build better projects with fewer administrative steps.
Placemakers' codes should be ready within the next month, Wiseman said, and the suggestions it made for the "Grand Bullyvard" project are among many suggestions the firm made that are not directly related to the codes.
"When they were here, they more or less just conceptualized a redesign," Wiseman said. "They brought with them a guy by the name of Rick Hall, who is a very prominent transportation consultant out of Florida. He was so intrigued by the project that he wanted to pursue a grant to take it a step further to actually study and plan a redesign, and that's what the grant is for."
The preliminary plans outlined in the application call for the intersection of Highway 12 and Russell Street to change "from an auto-dominant high-speed facility to a vibrant, walkable, low-speed boulevard." Sidewalks would flank a 1.2-mile stretch of Highway 12 from Spring Street to Highway 182, Wiseman said, with the aim of making it easier to get from campus to the planned Cotton Mill conference center and retail project, student housing and other Starkville hot spots northwest of Highway 12.
"By redesigning that corridor into what's called a multi-way boulevard, it has the potential to become a transportation corridor that is more friendly to bikers and pedestrian activities and less a barrier between the university and the city," Wiseman said. "Such a redesign would also open up new developable land on each side of the existing corridor."
On June 1, the board's Budget Committee met to discuss the budget process for fiscal year 2012, and Committee Chair Sandra Sistrunk will report to the board at Tuesday's meeting. Also on the board's agenda is a presentation from Sanitation and Environmental Services Department Head Sharon Boyd outlining the department's reorganization.
"The Sanitation and Environmental Services Department has been undergoing a transition for most of the year," Wiseman said, "and more recently, it has been working to complete the transition of taking our rubbish service back in-house, as it had been performed by an outside contractor."
At the May 3 board meeting, the Citizens' Municipal Complex Committee presented its final recommendations, including renovation of the current City Hall, an annex with offices for the mayor and city clerk, and a new facility for city police. At that time, Wiseman said the next steps would depend on the city's own Municipal Facilities Committee, which would likely report by early June. No such report is on the agenda, but Wiseman said further action on municipal facilities will come at the next meeting.
"I actually just had a meeting with the board municipal facilities committee this morning, and we will be discussing matters related to potentially securing property for the site that was recommended by the Citizens' Committee at the June 21 meeting," Wiseman said Monday. "It was just a logistics matter. That wasn't enough time for us to get items ready for the action agenda for tomorrow night because this morning was as quick as we could have a committee meeting."

I binged on Halo 3 to review it for the paper, so here's what it's going to look like come Saturday. For extra effect, I thought I'd toss in a trailer. The review follows.
If youre going to ask me if Halo 3 lives up to the hype, Ill tell you no.
But take this into account: At the L.A. midnight release, a guy dressed as the Master Chief showed up. Amidst the cheers, a fan standing in line trembled and then kneeled, were-not-worthy style, in front of him. Youd have thought the Chief walked on water to get to Universal CityWalk. No game can live up to that kind of worship.
But while Halo 3 isnt a religious epiphany on disc, you can certainly count it as one of the better total first-person shooter experiences you can find on a console.
I started with campaign mode, which attempts to wrap up the story of the Master Chief and his battle with the alien race called the Covenant. Like the previous two installments, the game visually plunges you into a variety of rich, vast environments. If youre not shooting Covenant foes in a subterranean base, youre blasting apart creepy-crawlies in a slimy space cruiser.
The game does a pretty good job of flexing some of the 360s graphic muscle, especially in large-scale battles your first confrontation with the walking Scarab tank is one to remember.
I also liked some of the new weapons, my favorite being the gravity hammer, good for one-hit deathblows and the occasional sight of the enemy flying into the air. I also liked rolling around in the Brute Chopper, a motorcycle with a huge front wheel that can annihilate things it runs into at full speed.
The series storytelling and atmosphere have been a little underrated, but I was genuinely entertained by most of the Halo 3 dialogue and cutscenes. Theres some particularly solid voicework done by Keith David, reprising his role as the Arbiter.
What I didnt like in the campaign mode was the backtracking. For some missions, I kept having to return to areas I already visited, either to kill some more enemies or hit some kind of button that activated something important. That took a chunk of the rush away for me.
I also couldnt help but be constantly reminded of other first-person shooters that came out before this one.
For instance, there are times when a voice invades the Chiefs head, reminiscent of The Darkness.
When you step into the gooey hallways of the crashed ship of the Flood (a race of infected biological freaks), the appearance of organic, orifice-like doorways and pulsating stuff conjures up memories of Prey. I was halfway expecting some random hole in the shop to vomit on me.
While the campaign was just OK, the games online options are superb.
You can send photos and share movies of your exploits (like highlight reels) with the rest of the Xbox Live community with the theater feature. Theres also the forge option, which lets players customize (not build) the games maps, giving them control of everything from spawn points to the kinds of weapons that are available (and where). Players can then hop online and give the retooled map a spin. You could literally spend a day just messing around with this with your friends.
However, I ran into some issues when it came to just simple online fighting. Im not sure if it was the heavy traffic of opening week, but I was fighting lag every time I was out there.
I tried the much-anticipated online co-op feature. While it was mostly fun (theres really nothing like playing together), I fought some lag here as well. I also didnt like the fact that if one person in your party has to jump out of the game, the game ends for everyone you cant press on without him or her. That hurts it can turn any party member into a potentail buzzkill, and thats no fun.
As far as the total package goes, few games come as fully stocked as Halo 3. Die-hard fans will probably look past its flaws. I will keep playing it, and keep enjoying it but my knees are staying off the ground.

Where to Look for Textbook Alternatives
November 29, 2012 | 2:46 pm
By Joanna Cabot
I've seen a lot of articles lately about the high cost of textbooks. This one was about site licenses and how they penalize smaller schools. This one is about the use of e-readers in developing countries. This one is an infographic that looks at the issue from a variety of angles. It strikes me as a somewhat American obsession, this textbook habit. When I did my teacher training in New Zealand back in 2005, nobody used textbooks there. There were some resource packets produced by the government for certain curriculum areas, but other than that, you were on your own—it was your job,...

Check out this statement from the president of the Maryland Senate, Thomas V. Mike Miller, on the state's gawd-awful-and-now-abandoned health insurance website: "You can blame it on the contractor, blame it on the subcontractor, but the buck stops with state government. And it hasn't been done properly."
Excuse me? Is this guy supporting Anthony Brown for governor in the June primary? Indeed, he is. I checked. The Brown campaign lists Miller as one of a zillion Democrats who have lined up like good muldoons to support the lieutenant governor. But that statement from Miller, the way I read it, lands like a water balloon on Brown's head — or at least close enough to get his wingtips wet.

HI - Boston HostelBoston, USA
Great facilities - what stood out is the ridculous abundance of toilets on each floor. Massive kitchen. Everything you want in terms of cleanlines, security and location. Atmosphere is a bit lacking and there were a lot of older travellers, so wouldn't have the charm of a smaller family run hostel where you could meet people and party. But at least it's nice to stay in

Hostel Villa SkansiHvar, Croatia
If you want to meet people and party, this is the place. Had a brilliant time here and met loads of people. The staff are amazing and will do anything for you, including taking you out and cleaning up after you. It has all the usual amenities, bar, kitchen, internet and you can rent your scooters/boats from here as well. Only thing is, you can't drink your own booze in the rooms, which is a bit annoying and they get well pissed off, but still wasn't too much of a problem. Their booze is cheap.

The Prescott International Hotel and HostelBoston, USA
NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! So if you want to sleep in a pool of your own sweat then go ahead. And the bald guy behind the desk is a complete tool, if you see him tell him he\\\'s a w****r and if he asks you anything just say \\\'you didn\\\'t ask\\\'. What a disgrace of a place
New York Hostel 99New York, USA
The area doesn't appear safe although the staff assured me it was fine and to be fair I didn't have any problems so I guess it's cool. If you stay in the dorms with no en-suite, be prepared for cues for the one bathroom
Chicago Parthenon HostelChicago, USA
Not a bad hostel that does the job and has all the basic essentials you need (breakfast, internet, TV room). Staff are a bit clueless but will always try and help you out, and the location is a bit far from downtown but only really if you're a wimp. So overall I would recommend it.
Denver International Youth HostelDenver, USA
Okay so it's not the best hostel in the world, but you and I both know that for the price you're not going to stay anywhere else, so suck it up.
Casa Brasil HostelFlorianopolis, Brazil
A nice quaint little hostel with friendly staff and clean facilities. Perfect for relaxing, don't expect to do any partying here.
Hostel Internacional Campo BaseMendoza, Argentina
Don´t stay in the 8-bed dorm it´s unbelievably cramped and messy!! Apart from that it´s a decent enough hostel in a good location and you can book all your activities there for good prices.
Nomads Fat Camel HostelAuckland, New Zealand
Does the job for your typical fun backpacking hostel and very good value for money. Good security. However local teenagers from the nearby school frequent the bar which is a bit weird
Frienz.com BackpackersChristchurch, New Zealand
Absolute dive! Fungi growing all over the place, poor shower and toilet facilities and boring as hell. Don´t stay here
The Urban AgeBangkok, Thailand
A decent enough hostel that does the job but not much in terms of fun. Staff very helpful in organising most things.

I'm also so glad with this new! I belive, the reunion is gonna happen, it's so cloose!
And I really want DAVID come back, because of the all the story, the style, because the old song what doesn't have the same feeling with ray luzier. Does Everybory love LUZIER? i know the musician he is, and He did his time with KORN, just it!!
No, you aren't the only one, but I do post a fair bit about Head restoring his ties with Korn. Like I always like to point out, Head has never been replaced by Korn, whereas Silveria was officially replaced by Luzier. There is a major difference between Korn with Head and without Head, I think it took Korn a long time to adjust to that from a song writing point of view.
Am I the only one that wouldn't be excited if Head came back? I feel really alone on my opinion here, the opposite seems to be the norm. My first real album was See You on the Other Side, so I started Korn without Head really. I don't know, I'm just worried that if Head comes back something bad could happen. Maybe I'm just being paranoid -_-

The 20-year-old Spaniard agreed a five-year contract earlier this week to replace the veteran Dutchman who retired at the end of last season. Evra is confident the ex-Atletico Madrid star, who won the European Championships with Spain Under-21s last weekend, fits the bill as a worthy successor.
"David is a good goalkeeper. We don't know him yet but we'll give him a nice welcome," the Frenchman told MUTV.
He added: "It's never easy to replace a big goalkeeper like Van der Sar and I'm a little bit sad that Edwin has retired but De Gea is the future now.
"He has to work hard because it's not easy to do the job Edwin did but he'll be given every opportunity.
"We wish him all the best because he has come to the biggest club in the world, and it's important for him to give 100% every day."

Lagos — The Nigerian Gas Association (NGA) has tasked the federal government to engage the Organized Private Sector and other stakeholders in the oil and gas sector in a comprehensive dialogue and negotiations of the contents, direction and intention of the Petroleum Industry Bill currently before the National Assembly.
The Gas Association noted that the charge became necessary to address all differences and ultimately enact a law which would reflect national aspirations as well as protect all stakeholders' interests.
In a communiqué signed by its President Chima Ibeneche at the end of its 8th International Gas Conference and Exhibition which held in Abuja last week, the association also implored the federal government to begin a reduction in its commercial participation in gas and power sectors and focus more on regulatory supervision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meant as a warning, not as a guide,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nineteen Eighty Four (Paperback)
I first read 1984 as part of my High School curriculum.
At the time, it was amazing to think that a book written before any but the earliest forms of computers, when most people had never heard of television, and before CNN existed could have so eerily predicted things like Flat-screens in every house, and ministries in charge of controlling the news and pop culture.
I re-read it some years later and it was scarier still, as the world was at war, only now our enemies were the same band of merry outlaws we had allied with against the Russians. To watch Rambo III, and CNN during Operation Desert Storm, and then to re-read 1984 was an interesting experience.
Now, I think it is even more relevant. With everyone up in arms about the NSA scandal, figures like Osama Bin Laden, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange popping up in the State Controlled news casts, and more and more men and women in North America sporting "smart phones" equipped with great tools like GPS, geo-tagging, facial recognition software and fingerprint pass-protection I shake my head.
Every time I hear a song on the radio that I find my feet tapping along to, and realize the words make little to no sense - they just sound good together, as if synthesized to appeal to as many people as possible - and every time I see some news about climate change, genocide, or an environmental disaster overshadowed by the latest celebrity spotting I cringe and wonder if Orwell understood that he wasn't writing a warning for the public, he was writing a playbook for the elite.
Even if you think, "LOL - this guy is crazy!", you should do yourself a favour and really read this fantastic bit of fiction. Some would say it is a spectacular example of a literary endeavour. Others would say it's a really, really good book. I would give this 2 + 2 stars out of 5. So 5 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Is Not Enough,
Patrick Sullivan (Kingston, Ont. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nineteen Eighty Four (Paperback)
This novel is an amazing read! Orwell starts off by introducing the reader into the terribly grim dark world of Big Brother. The state controls everything and everybody. Orwell has written a fictional story, but you soon realize almost everything Orwell writes about, has happened somewhere in the World. I feel this was Orwell`s message, to warn people that Big Brother can and will spring up anywhere, and at any time. In the past one can look to the Stalin and Hitler regimes, for examples of what Orwell is talking about. In the present, North Korea is an almost perfect example of Orwell`s 1984 novel. And sometimes bits of Big Brother, pops up right in your own backyard. In the 2008- 2009 school year, Queens University introduced a "conversation police force" to monitor students living on Campus. This was done to prevent anything happening in the student living quarters, that was not deemed "politically correct". The controversial policy was later dropped by the University. This is the sort of thing that Orwell is trying to warn the reader about. Big Brother can suddenly appear, even in a place of higher learning. Orwell is trying to tell us, that state control is not just something that happens in far away places, such as North Korea.
There are also many smaller examples of state manipulation, such as control of the media, that are explained in the novel. The modern reader will have no trouble relating to media manipulation.
1984 is a novel that everyone living in a free society should read, at least once.

Wolfman (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Animal Farm (Paperback)
In terms of reading books that are classics, this one is pain free. The language is easy and it's short enough to get through in a day, and best of all the story is entertaining. My advice would be to spend a few hours on the net reading about the Russian Revolution and Stalin's bio before reading to make sure you appreciate all the allusion, allegory, metaphors and all that blah blah stuff that makes it an important book. This is the one book I actually liked when I had to read it in highschool, 10 or so years later I still enjoyed breezing through it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A grim warning,
Mark Wakely (Lombard, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This is a story that, unfortunately, seems to be slowly coming true. Many science fiction titles are escapist literature that either imagine a very different world(s) from our own, or at the very least, hold out some hopeful message - in other words, the good guys usually manage to win. This is neither kind of book. And it is science fiction because the sinister use of technology is what allows Big Brother to invade everyone's privacy and dictate what the characters can do or say, with severe, nightmarish punishment for "disobedience." There have other novels that have seized upon this idea of an anti-utopia, but Orwell was one of the first to place it in a realistic future, and in a chilling this-is-all-too-possible way.
And the parallels with our modern world are especially profound, parallels that are obvious all around us. The growing number of surveillance cameras on street corners, the ironic (but deliberately) named Patriot Act in the U.S., the rise of political and religious intolerance in the world...all of it does not bode well for the future of our basic liberties. Orwell got in right back in 1948, and although he was primarily referring to the "red menace" of his era, the tactics used by suppressive governments are tempting for any government because of the control such tactics provide, liberties be damned. Your agenda- whatever it is- can more easily be achieved if you can identify your enemies early on and thwart their every move. The problem is, when your enemies are law-abiding citizens whose political (or religious) views don't match your own- and that's the only "crime"- you've stepped over the boundary of national security and entered the realm of repression. And to stop open criticism of these tactics, these governments (including the repressive one in 1984) invariable claim that the critics are "unpatriotic," "traitors," maybe even "terrorists." Sound familiar? Repressive governments have been using these tactics for centuries; only now, modern technology makes it a whole lot easier- and yes, unfortunately, a lot more tempting.
Of course we don't want real terrorists. The problem is, a "quick fix" of sweeping powers put into the hands of a relatively few like-minded individuals- with checks and balances muted if not totally brushed aside- can, will, and has lead to abuse of those powers, primarily for political and personal gains. That was the real message of 1984, and it's one we should never forget. And if the citizens of a repressive government either don't recognize the danger- or worse yet, vigorously defend it under some mistaken notion of being "patriotic" themselves, surrendering their own liberties in the process- that just makes it all the easier for the incumbents to remain in power, with little chance for genuine reform or change.
It's all there in this great book, 1984, which deserves to be widely read forever and amen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your average classic,
H. MIller (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Forget about the actual date and/or title of the book. You have to take into consideration when this was written and what Orwell thought 1984 was going to be like. Okay, so he missed it by twenty years or so. The point is, 1984 is more relevant now than it was back in the actual 1984.
Harrowing, like "Brave New World" it pretty much hits the nail on the head. Aren't you wonderful WHY this book is so successful and on the bestseller list after all these years---once again?
Just look around at the world and what's happening. Sure, parts of this book are depressing, but it makes us look at ourselves and what we've become (or not) thereby showing us where we should go (or not).
I have to recommend one other Amazon pick, which just totally knocked my socks off with its humor, look at human nature, and take on corporate greed and human problems: Jackson McCrae's "Katzenjammer" which should not be missed. Totally first rate with a surprise ending, short chapters, and great characters. Highly recommended for those who like good fast-paced reading.

This review is from: Animal Farm (Paperback)
there isn't too much i can say that hasn't already been said, i didn't do any research before reading this book, but I was familiar with the russian revolution. after reading it i figured it was about the russian revolution, stalin, et al, and came online to check it out. sure enough that's what it's about.
i think this is required reading, although i didn't have to read it in high school.
if you haven't read it, please do, it's a short, but fascinating read.

Reads bookman "horror reader" (new brunswick) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nineteen Eighty Four (Paperback)
Even though there are no burning buildings and nuclear bombs this is an post apocalyptic novel if i have ever read one. This book is dark and disturbing and doesn't let up even at the end. This is now one of my all time favorite books. This is not for the faint of heart. I would suggest this to anyone who likes the following genres zombie, post apocalyptic, science fiction. Even though it is none of those things i think it had a strong basis in there creation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A forgotten warning from history,
Harrison Koehli (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
1984 has always been my favorite book, and yet I did not know why until recently. I also knew that the reviews and commentary I had read were missing something important. Rereading it again recently, with Pynchon's excellent introduction, I feel I have a better understanding of its importance as a warning from history.
To convey my new understanding, I will focus on only one aspect of the book: Big Brother. Big Brother has come to be associated with massive government surveillance, just as the telescreens in 1984 were used by the government to keep Party members in constant fear. Orwell's vision is seen as prescient. The use of such technology today, and the possibility of its misuse, is a pressing topic in itself. But to only go so far is to miss the point entirely, in my opinion.
Orwell was describing, in futuristic terms, what had its essence in the system of "government" sucking the life of Eastern Europe at the time. A talk with any Pole, Hungarian, or Russian who lived through such times will tell you. Big Brother is a metaphor. For in such a system, characterized (and this is the essential factor missing by critics of Communism, and commentators on Orwell's masterpiece) by the presence of psychopathic individuals in all positions of influence and authority, normal people must live daily, hiding any trace that they possess the ability to feel normal human emotions.
To expose yourself as experiencing normal human reactions in the presence of psychopathic individuals unfettered by any system of law is a deadly thing in such a "pathocratic" system. Orwell was not writing of the evils of surveillance technology, he was writing about the very real threat that, in the control of a psychopathic system of government, such technology will be used to stamp out any trace of humanity. Normal people will once again be forced to play-act a life without meaning.
With pathocracy brewing in the halls of government in the mightiest nations on Earth, the world could use another read of 1984, perhaps in conjunction with the work of Dr. Andrew Lobaczewski, Political Ponerology (A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes), who has written extensively on this system of pathocracy, and what can be done about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brillian Fairy Tale for Adults...,
JR Pinto (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Animal Farm: Anniversary Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
Every time I read something by George Orwell, I'm convinced what a genius he was. This novel, along with 1984, is so entrenched in our collective consciousness now that it is difficult to remember a time when they didn't exist. I think that political extremists on either side would like to subvert Orwell's message for their own purposes. What makes Orwell great however is that he is not simply skewering the left or the right, but politics itself. To paraphrase Woody Allen in Sleeper (his take on 1984) "It doesn't matter who is in charge - they're all terrible."
Historically, Animal Farm was written as a polemic against Soviet communism after Orwell returned from fighting in the Spanish Civil War. Even though the USSR is his main target, Animal Farm reads like a blueprint for every violent revolution ever. I'm also reading a book on the French Revolution, and I'm amazed at how much the two link up. First comes the idyllic phase when the oppressors have been overthrown. Next, the "liberators" soon set themselves up as demi-gods. Next comes marshal law. Eventually, it does become impossible to distinguish the men from the pigs. "All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
This book, written before 1984, introduces some of the themes that Orwell will do much to develop later. For instance, like Big Brother, Napoleon - the leader - gradually does away with the animal's history and memory. He gradually alters the Seven Commandments of animals, while maintaining they were "always" that way. ("We are at war with Eastasia. We have ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia.")
This book is so spot-on in its depiction of human (animal) behavior its scary. Whenever Napoleon institutes another sacrilege, the "sheep" are quick to shout down any opposition with their cry of "Four legs good, two legs bad." Inevitably, this becomes, "Two legs good, four legs bad." Four legs are bad, four legs have ALWAYS been bad...
If you were forced to read this in school, or haven't read it in a long time, give it another chance. It's extremely short and you'll enjoy it.

Egypt's Al Ahly left Cairo for Tunis where they will face Tunisian Esperance in the 2012 Orange CAF Champions League final 2nd leg this Saturday. Cafonline.com caught up with some Ahly players and team coach to hear their thoughts ahead of the crucial encounter. The two sides drew 1-1 in the first leg played two weeks ago in Egypt.
Mohamed Youssef (Ahly assistant coach)
"We're ready and focused for this match. We will do our best and we just need luck to be on our side throughout the game. We're worried because of the heavy rains in Tunis but we'll take that into our consideration".
Houssam Ghaly ( captain)
"Saturday game is a historical one for this generation. This year's Africa Champions League title is the most precious for all of us because of the tough circumstances we faced this year. We'll do our best to win the title and dedicate it to the souls of our fans who lost their lives in February".
Wael Gomaa:
"I'm confident we can win the title in Tunis. There's nothing impossible in football and we're capable of winning our seventh Champions League trophy. We have forgotten about the first leg result and will treat Saturday's game as a decisive final game where the winner takes all".
Mohamed Barakat
Esperance is a very good team and has a good chance as will enjoy home advantage and full support of their fans. But Al Ahly also is a great team, one of the greatest on the continent and we're ready to win. I believe each team has a 50% chance and no one has the upper hand. Whoever plays better on the night will win the match and the valuable Africa Champions League trophy".
Ahmed Fathy
"The final is not over yet. The first half ended in 1-1 draw and the second half will be held on Saturday in Rades. Ahly is capable of winning the title in Tunis and go back to the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan. This is what we'll play for on Saturday".
Sherif Abdel Fadeel
"We're totally focused on this match and we want to win the trophy and dedicate it to our great fans. We were the better side in the first leg in Burg El Arab but we were unlucky to see the match end in a draw. It's very important to start the 2nd leg in a positive way to keep our chances alive".
Mohamed Nagy "Geddo"
"We're ready for the match and determined to give our best performance. Ahly board is standing behind us with all what they've got and this makes us mentally relieved. There's nothing called impossible in football, Egypt won the African Cup of Nations 3 successive times while they were not the favorites. We're determined to come back from Tunis with the Champions League trophy".
Waleed Suleiman )
"I've recovered from injury and ready to take part in this crucial game. Our aim is to give Ahly and Egyptians fans something to cheer about, especially after the tough circumstances we're facing thesedays. The CAF Champions League will be our gift for the souls of our fans who lost their lives in Port Said".
ElSayed Hamdy
"This year's Champions League is the toughest tournament in Ahly history regarding the circumstances we faced, starting from the Port Said tragedy, then when we were held up in Mali add to all this not having domestic football season and its been a tough year. Our board asked us to win the title and we'll do all we can to achieve that goal. I'm confident we can win and hope luck be on our side this time after the 1st leg in Burg El Arab where we were really unlucky".
Ahmed Shedid Qenawy
"I hope to take part in this historic game but this remains the technical staff 's choice which I fully respect. Our first choice left back Sayed Moawad is a very important player and we will miss him, but whoever takes his role will do his best for the team. I hope to come back from Tunis holding the Champions League trophy ".
