I was just wondering if there were any other animated skins out there for evox. I like the default one, but I was looking for something more. I don't know exactly what, but just wanted to find more of them. I looked at a shyteload on allxboxskins - but none appear to be animated. I found a forum where someone asked how to make their own animated forum, and nobody had an answer for them - so I don't know if there are any out there at all.
I want something flashy, so that people know it's not just a wallpaper background on an xbox - but something has really been changed. Heck, if there was even a skin that had realtime stats like temperature, fan RPM, memory usage?? If something like that could be made, that could be pretty sweet.
I just was hoping for something more than... blue... but I love the fact that it's animated.
Animated Skins?

Now as we know in the new DC 52, Wally so far has not been made acknowledged of. So in light of that fact, I believe the plausibility of his grand return are 50/50 (I do wish it was 100% for certain). See on the one hand we currently have Bart Allen as the Kid Flash, so the need of a Kid Flash is not actually here for the moment, but however in spite of the idea that he may not exist or even be alive, Wally West must exist because of the fact that he was the nephew of Barry, and so Barry is not needed in order for him to exist. Also Iris herself is seeming to be very significant to The Flash series, and since Wally was a big fan of the Flash it will all come together and make a slightly shifted circle.
The fact remains that Wally West is most likely still existent in the DC universe, so that leaves the wonderful possibiltity of Wally returning to our sight.
Now the final question is if Wally West's return was imminent.....then what do we do with Bart Allen? or is it possible that in the new DC universe that there can be two kid flashes, as in one that's apart of the Teen Titans and then the other as the true mostly all of the time sidekick to the Flash?

The 30-year-old came on against Poland on Wednesday evening as a half-time substitute, replacing James Morrison in the 1-0 win in Warsaw. It was Fletcher's first appearance for the national side since captaining Scotland against Luxembourg in November 2012 and earned him his 62nd cap.
That puts Fletcher, who has battled back from a chronic bowel illness, level with Celtic great Danny McGrain in the list of all-time outings for Scotland.
If he remains fit, Fletcher could surpass the likes of Willie Miller (65), Christian Dailly (67), David Weir and Kenny Miller (both 69) during the next qualification campaign.

Le Monde editor found guilty of defamation against Jews, Israel
Jean-Marie Colombani and three writers authored an opinion piece entitled 'Israel-Palestine: the Cancer'.
A French court has found the editor-in-chief of the influential daily newspaper Le Monde and the authors of an opinion piece in the paper guilty of "racial defamation" against Israel and the Jewish people, the British daily The Guardian reported Saturday.
In a ruling hailed by French Jewish groups, the court ordered Jean-Marie Colombani and the three writers to pay a symbolic one euro in damages to the France-Israel Association and to Lawyers Without Borders, according to The Guardian.
Both organizations alleged that the June 2002 op-ed entitled "Israel-Palestine: the Cancer," contained comments that "targeted a whole nation, or a religious group in its quasi-globality," and constituted racial defamation, The Guardian reported.
The groups argued the article violated anti-defamation laws after the authors committed a "semantic slip," shifting from using the phrase "the Jews of Israel" to "Jews in general." The authors meant to aim their criticism at "certain Israelis" yet made reference to "the Jews."
Among the excerpts which sparked the controversy was: "The Jews of Israel, descendants of an apartheid named the ghetto, ghettoize the Palestinians. The Jews who were humiliated, scorned and persecuted humiliate, scorn and persecute the Palestinians. The Jews who were the victims of a pitiless order impose their pitiless order on the Palestinians. The Jews, scapegoats for every wrong, make scapegoats of Arafat and the Palestinian Authority."
Colombani, who co-wrote the piece with sociologist Edgar Morin, writer-lecturer Daniele Sallenave, and MEP Sami Nair, claimed that portions of the article had been taken out of context, and that the article represents "a lengthy and more balanced piece" that "did not undermine or attack the fundamental values of democratic societies."
Nonetheless, the appeals thus court reversed a lower court ruling, deciding last week that the passages violated French defamation laws, The Guardian reported.
The French umbrella group for Jewish associations, CRIF, said it "noted with satisfaction" the appeal court ruling, adding that the verdict "clearly set limits on a deviation that consists of incriminating 'the Jews' in the name of a criticism of Israel."
"We have always considered that criticism of Israeli policy falls under the category of the free and democratic exchange of ideas, but that debate cannot express itself as a demonization of Israel nor of the Jews," the group said.
Catherine Cohen, the attorney representing Le Monde and Nair, said she would appeal the ruling to France's highest court, saying "we cannot allow jurisprudence like this to stand."
"The article was a critique of a policy, of [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon's policy, it wasn't a racial criticism," Cohen said. "The remarks were taken out of context; the plaintiffs argued that they were against Jews, but a few paragraphs later, the piece says that all occupiers behave the same way.
"This is a very serious matter for intellectuals, for commentators who express their point of view on a very complex issue," Cohen told The Guardian.
"Of course these authors are not anti-Jewish, nobody believes that," she said. "In reality, this kind of case does not belong in a court of law - the groups should have written their own rebuttal in the paper."

The early snow storm dropped over a foot of snow in some parts of Jersey, taking down tree limbs and power lines, affecting service to 635,000 residents. "I myself was without power for a few days, and I was unable to make it on campus on Monday," says Dennia Rentzis, West Essex Coordinator of Admis- sions and writer of the @EssexCountyWEC Twitter feed for the campus. "There were trees all over the roads, and it still is quite messy around some streets." A week after the storm, nearly 15,000 New Jerseyians were still without power. Con- necticut was hit the hardest with 215,000 customers waiting for power to be restored. Trees were hit hard throughout the east coast dur- ing this rough winter storm as evidenced by the broken limb seen here on the West Essex campus.

Although its origin yields to a bit of con- troversy, it is commonly understood that Thanksgiving was - setts' colonists and the native Wampanoag Indians to celebrate Franklin D. Roosevelt Carving the Thanksgiving Turkey. Nov. 29, 1935. Source: Franklin D. Roosevelt Library by Native American Indian, Squanto. Of course at the time, the feast was not called Thanks- President George Washington issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation asking all Americans to "express their gratitude for the happy conclusion of the country's war of independence and the successful rati- Corrections Box An error in the October 2011 piece titled "Occupy Wall Street" on page four. "...one percent of the wealthy control ninety percent of the econ- omy," should read "one percent of the population controls forty percent of the economy". Leo was missing from the horo- scopes. The last page: Advertising box should have read: Place an adver- tisement for a service, product... It remained that way until 1939 when President Roosevelt changed it to the third Thursday since the fourth was too close to Christmas for businesses. Finally, this date switching holiday nestled comfort- ably as the third Thursday in November when President Roosevelt signed a bill declaring this date in 1941. The traditional "American" holiday is not only celebrated by "Americans." I asked a few of my peers, who were born elsewhere, how they celebrated "turkey day." Nana from Ghana said, "This is the only day my mom doesn't cook cultural food." Nana's family includes all the traditional meals, such as macaroni and cheese, turkey, corn, and other common Thanksgiving dishes. He adds that they do in fact add Jollof, a rice dish that is orange in color and made with white rice and a tomato sauce stew. Emeka, on the other hand, was born in Nigeria. Excitement grew, and probably the anticipation for some good food as well, when he explained how his family celebrates Thanksgiving. "We cook potatoes, turkey, rice, beans, pie. It's a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We also have Garri" (a grounded casava the consistency of oatmeal). As do most Americans, Emeka's family waits for everyone to eat. Everyone joins at the table in front of all the delicious complimenting dishes. All give thanks, followed by prayer. As I've said before, Thanksgiving is an American holiday. In a melting pot country such as our own, there exist all different types of ethnic groups. When asked about his family's way of celebrating the harvest, Shawn replied, "We do not cel- ebrate Thanksgiving, whatsoever." Shockingly, Shawn's family treats this day like any other "normal day." Thanksgiving is just a few days away and so is my fast. I will not eat until the turkey is done. Whether it is roasted, baked or deep fried, as far as my family goes, turkey comes hand in hand with potato pie." Give thanks to the sweet potatoes life has bestowed and dig in. Happy Holidays!

ESSEX COUNTY COLLEGE OBSERVER PAGE 5 NOVEMBER 2011 OPINION What's Wrong with the Cafeteria? by Leonita Rexha Illustration by Leonita Rexha there are things that seem to irritate many students and workers. Students expressed problems with the cafeteria, including wobbly tables and the absence of a microwave. Picture yourself sitting at a table with a group of your friends and the table keeps rocking unsteadily. Imagine you have a beverage on that unsteady table and because the table keeps moving your beverage spills. Why does that matter? What is so important about a table that wobbles? The beverage that happened to spill was paid for and due to that spill, the clothes worn on that day got dirty. A female student explained, "The tables are annoying. I had little time to eat once be- cause I had to go to class and my soda spills. I didn't bother to get another one, but the soda did get on my clothes a bit." She then added, "I have one of those professors that freaks out when you're late and waiting on line for another drink was a risk. I wasn't willing to be late." Since the table was unsteady, why didn't the student simply sit at another one? Unfortunately, the majority of the tables in the cafeteria are unsteady. Thus, students and employees do not have a choice on where to sit. However, wobbling tables do not to seem to be the only issue in the caf- around the school, such as hallways and classrooms. This can be time consuming and many college students do not have that much time on their hands. Another key issue that seems to upset many of the students is that there is no longer a microwave available for use by student as there once was. Students come to school with their own lunches only to realize there is no microwave to heat up their food. According to a cafeteria staff mem- ber the reason for the missing microwave was that it the old one broke, and the college was unable to get a new one. The cafeteria is a place where students and professors socialize, but due to the issues mentioned above, this is a place that most students and workers do not completely enjoy. UPDATE: As of November, there is now a microwave in the cafeteria. It was donated by ECC's Mu Beta Kappa: the Gentleman's Fraternity. Letter to the Editor I'm writing in regards to the "Occupy Wall St." article in the October issue of the ECCO. While protesters refer to themselves as the 99%, Rasmussen and Gallup polls show that a mere twenty to thirty percent of Americans actually support the protest; the vast majority either opposes the movement or does not understand it enough to take a stance. As it snowballs across the nation, the movement lacks one key element: focus. Whatever message Occupy Wall St. is mark when you don't know what you're aiming at, and it seems that many of the participants are protesting just to pro- in the protest. If this is truly the case, then it sounds an awful lot like the blind leading the blind, which we know gets us nowhere fast.

Taste of The Caribbean by Tsahai General The Caribbean International Club. Were you aware that this school had a Caribbe- an Club? A year ago, people began to lose faith and interest in the club, but as of 2010, the new President plans to restore it to its glory. Onika Demming, during 9 months of presidency, has Club, but also the vast nationalities that attend Essex County College-forming the new and improved Caribbean International Club. Dem- ming applies the term "One Love," coined by her fellow students. Demming insists that she will "bring the love of the Caribbean" back to noticed that the club "needed some work" and she was determined to revive it. In the past, the Cari Club was once the best, or one of the best clubs at ECC. Two years prior, the Cari Club meetings would regularly have 50-100 students trying to squeeze into a classroom for one meeting. Amazingly, that number does not include all the members of the club, just those attending meetings. When Onika became a member in 2010, the meetings had a to- tal of 6 people, including her self. Now as president, Demming has been able to raise the spirits of the stu- dents; she has recruited a good 20 plus members. "I changed the name of the Caribbean Club to the Caribbean International Club to include every- body, to encourage integration. It cannot be that `one love' among everybody, if everyone isn't included." Demming not only insists on club success, but also for a tight nit relationship within the club. The club will only succeed, she explained, if there is a bond between its members and if they can enjoy working with one another. Demming believes that everyone needs to be able to feel the love of the Caribbean, hence the name change. "At the end of the day, I'd like to walk away I left something to follow and hope they would con- tinue down a great path, and have the CIC Trademark on ECC forever." The point isn't for the club to de- tach from the school as Caribbean people; instead, the Cari Club wants to integrate the Caribbean into ECC. At every turn, Demming takes the oppor- tunity to unite everyone and "mingle." Even at the meetings, they socialize and think of ways to in- crease funds. She pointed out, "We unite the group as one, work, but we still have fun. When we so- cialize, we enjoy working together and that makes the elections better because we know the people we vote for. When you come to my meetings, you should not feel as though you are in school, but rather, at home. In the end, we need to broaden the spectrum and make it better than what it was." When asked the question "what is it that CIC is trying to achieve?" Demming's response was that the CIC needs to reclaim its previous name for being the best club and then become bet- ter, make that mark on ECC, make CIC that home away from home, and have fun-parties, dances, and other activities. With the Cari-International Club, Essex County College gets a taste of the Caribbean, literally. So the question is, why aren't you in the Cari-International Club?

Most of us are still going through that middle-aged person with kids and a cheating spouse? With a child you know won't make it take it anymore? Do you allow yourself to collapse? Triangles follows the lives of three middle-aged women as they go through their day- to-day life. Holly is a stay at home mom and wife who wants to experience a new life. Marissa is a mother of two who has to take care of her daughter with SMA, spinal muscular atrophy, and deal with her husband being at work all day, everyday. Andrea is a single mother who ties the two together and handles everyone's problems but her own. With the lives of these three women, we get to experience how different situations affect different people and just how hard they take it. We get to see their reactions and have our hearts broken at the same time as theirs. We get to see how life is after the fun. many other Young Adult novels about teens. I didn't quite know what to expect from this to be honest. I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't match up to her other novels that have such power in them to make a person cry with a single phrase. I was afraid that because it was about middle- aged women, I wouldn't connect and that I would drop the book after only a few pages. I felt excited when I received the book for review, but the fear didn`t go away. It lingered on, in my mind. I immediately dropped the book I had been reading at the time just to read this and I am beyond glad that I did. Not only did I con- nect with the characters, I loved them. In this one book, I became the imaginary son of these three women and saw their lives unfold before my eyes. It was a bit uncomfortable seeing their pain as if I were seeing my own mother in pain. I'm the type of person who is very reserved about my feelings around my family. I tend to keep them inside of me and not let them out. Why? I don't exactly know, but I just do. Whether it's a death or sadness or pain, I don't show it. But when I read this book, I showed my emotions with ease. When a character cried, yes I felt awkward but I cried along with them. When they were happy, I smiled from ear to ear. And by the end of the novel, my eyes were red and puffy from all the tears I shed and I had opened myself up to these characters. I became comfortable. You might think that it helped me open up to my family in real life and made me realize that I`m missing out on a big happy family, but it didn't. That's not the point of the book. It showed me that what I've been doing is normal and could even be the right thing for one to do. Your family can be your best of friend, but they can also be your worst enemy. But this isn't about my feelings; it's about the three ladies. I gained so much respect for women, more than I already had, now that I got to see their inside lives and secrets. I was able to get into their heads and see how they connected with us, their kids, and how they actually feel for us despite what they show on the outside. We might think they love us, but they do more than love. There is no word to describe the higher power. It's just there. But while I did gain respect for women, I lost some for others. While women have the power to do more than love, they also have the power to do more than destroy. Women are what hold everything together. They are these powerful people who can pick you up and bring you afraid to learn that one woman could destroy everything. It made me think that the symbol of purity, peacefulness, gentleness, and everything else that I can think of that makes them who they are, wasn't something that should be broken. As harsh as it sounds, I was disgusted by the actions of one particular woman in Triangles. But many might be wondering how this novel is compared to Hopkins' Young Adult novels. The truth is, it is the Young Adult novel, but simply for adults. I love them equally and would not be able to choose between the two, but beware. While Triangles is for adults and can be read by Young Adults who are over 18 or close, it is a bit raw and shouldn't be read by those who can't take mature situations. And no, I don't mean all of the emotional parts. What I mean is all of the sex parts which are more like Erotica at times. I won't be a man about it and say, "Yeah! Sex!" But I will say that it makes one fan themselves.

He took great care in creating superb tracks. Each track is distinct. The production quality and the content are brilliant. Anyone who's ever heard Drake is aware of his degree of talent. His singing voice is exceptional; his ability to sing in different tones, at different speeds, with different melodies, sets him apart from anyone in the industry today. His lyrical ability as a rap artist is one of the best in music. This profound talent and ability is shining throughout each and every track on the album. I haven't heard a single song I don't enjoy. Now, you know I'm a big fan of good features and Drake has several that I truly enjoy. He has features from The Weeknd, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Wonder, and of course, Lil Wayne. The sheer number of features is impressive to me, but along with that the variety and the quality of artists featured is on point. I mean, how often do you see a rap artist have Stevie Wonder featured in one of their songs? Never. This album is a must download. I guarantee it will be in the conversation for album of the year. Drake did not disappoint. Tha Carter IV by Robert Colon In a world where album sales are decreasing exponentially as a result of the easiness of piracy Lil Wayne has made history twice. Tha Carter III sold 1,005,545 records in its debut week. His most recent album Tha Carter IV sold close to that selling 964,000 units more albums than some artists sell in their entire careers. Why is this the case? Is it just merely because of the kind of character and gim- mick Lil Wayne presents to his fans? This may be a part of it but at the end of the day, that only gets you so far. There has to be some degree of quality in the product for it to have this much success. To stay re- cent let us look at why and how Tha Carter IV was so successful. beats that had just the right balance of intricacy and simplicity. In ad- by reputable and successful producers which make people more will- ing to give it a listen. Moving on to the lyrics let me start by saying, "WOW". Wayne gives us his usual absurd lyrical mastery. If you want punch lines, you got them. If you want metaphors, you got them. If you want a story, you got it. And if you want realness, you know Wayne will deliver. Another thing I thoroughly enjoyed was the di- of the Bottom" has a spoken word kind of feel to it while "How to Love" is more of an R&B track than rap. This variety in the tracks was refreshing. All in all, this album is a must get. I guarantee that if you are a fan of quality music, as I am you, will be more than pleased. ESSEX COUNTY COLLEGE OBSERVER PAGE 10 NOVEMBER 2011 continued from page 1 ECC Middle States Warning ematics, Dr. Susan Gaulden who is not teach- ing this year because she is focusing on the task at hand as the Coordinator of Academic Assessment. "We have to assess what's going on in our courses to make sure our courses are delivering the content that they are supposed to and that our students are walking away af- ter successfully passing our courses with the knowledge, the behavior, and the skills that are expected," says Gaulden. Student Government Association President, Alton Drummond sees this chal- lenge as a real eye-opener for the college as a whole. "Sometimes a crisis has the ability to unite people and I see Essex County Col- lege coming together...to be able to resolve to the extent currently required by MSCHE, or in- deed, desired by progressive faculty under the new leadership of ECC President Dr. Abdullah. In recent years MSCHE's accreditation criterion has evolved to meet an increasing nationwide push for program performance and institution accountability, perhaps of reference. The symposiums will now become an an- nual event with the expressed aim to communicate to the faculty what has been achieved and uncov- ered. It will keep them abreast of the changes in the courses and programs while recruiting more fac- ulty into the SLOAT process. "We're getting stuff done and these reports are getting better as more faculty are getting involved. Hopefully they'll hear what kind of studies we're doing and catch the fe- ver and start doing their own studies. This is going to make this college a great place," says Gaulden. MSCHE makes its check-up visit and we will have grace periods that go on into 2015. Dr. Gaulden is upbeat, "We're moving at warp speed and people are doing everything they possibly can. Everyone around here wants to come off warning in March of 2012. That would be the best case scenario. If we can get enough of the work done, then we're going be in great shape. There were eleven cours- es studied last fall...last semester we had twenty courses assessed and now this semester we're up to forty-six...and we keep following up on courses and moving forward."
