Ark of Sinners Advance Review
Those who travel in the RPG circles may be familiar with the Anima: Beyond Fantasy game system, but for those who aren't it's set in a strange hybrid fantasy world that has both futuristic and medieval elements to it. The latest release from Bulkypix is set within this dark and Gothic universe, and while Ark of Sinners has high aspirations in its Metroid/vania like gameplay, it falls desperately short of the mark. Most of the blame can be directed towards the game's flabby controls -…Watch The Video Review
Strategy & Tactics: World War II iPad Review
Gamers who typically enjoy strategy titles invariably also enjoy the challenge that comes from seeing a mountain-sized burden of knowledge and conquering it to become masters of their virtual domain. Strategy & Tactics: World War II was once tied to the Hearts of Iron franchise - a series some strategy fans should recognize - and while the mobile title reduces the complexity significantly, it's no less opaque in its mechanics. In other words, be prepared to fail, and fail often as…Watch The Video Review
Mr. Crab Review
Everything old is new again thanks to the iOS platform, and while the rotating-tower platformer is certainly not a new one, Mr. Crab manages to bring a breath of fresh air to the dusty concept. And hey, not everyone is an ancient curmudgeon like me, so party on you crazy kids. Speaking of party, prepare to get your hat-head ready as Mr. Crab has a penchant for noggin-covers. This is more of an aside, but as Dave has mentioned before, gamers love their hats - it's a mystery for the age…Watch The Video Review
Cling! Review
Instead of a platformer, Cling is amusingly referred to as a 'pegformer', and this is as accurate a description as any. As a capsule toy in a vending machine, you get stuck on your way to the hands of a small child, and now your squid-y tendrils must navigate the pegs, clear the hazards, and reach the end of each stage safely. There are two control schemes that you can switch between with a simple shake of your iPhone. The first is a system where by touching the screen in the directio…Watch The Video Review
Dream Chaser Review
With so many endless runners, it relieves us game reviewers when we see a new idea brought to the table, as small a change as it may be. What can stand to infuriate us more than just an average entry into this genre is if the change ends being to the detriment of the whole experience. That's where we find ourselves with Dream Chaser, an endless runner that while having an endless mode also includes a story mode, where the mechanics and intricacies of the game are spread out alongside a…Watch The Video Review
Dungeon Hunter 4 [First Impressions] Review
[Editor's Note: Although we've had two days with Dungeon Hunter 4, the nature of the freemium gameplay makes it hard to give a full assessment (thanks in part to the multiplayer proving difficult to test). It should also be noted we made a $5 gem pack purchase; we will highlight how this has affected our time with the game.] There are moments when I regret my final decision after reviewing a game - Dungeon Hunter 3 has haunted me to this day and managed to get a free pass based on its…Watch The Video Review
Slayin Review
If there's one constant about a lot of iPhone gameplay, it's taking an established genre or game type, and streamlining it as much as possible, to create ultimate accessibility, as well as perhaps a gateway into the genre at hand. Due to the obsession over the last few years of adding RPG leveling mechanics to everything, your average iOS gamer should be quite familiar with the adrenaline rush that accompanies leveling up a character and becoming more powerful. Slayin' tries to take th…Watch The Video Review
Injustice: Gods Among Us Review
I have to admit, I like the idea of a company taking the time to whet the appetite of their fans by providing a portable version of a title they're yet to release. We saw it back at the release of Mass Effect 3, and now we're seeing it again with Injustice: Gods Among Us from Warner Bros. Of course any expectations of such a title being brought over in full, or at least as a complete brawler (albeit with a lowered roster ala Street Fighter's iOS releases) have been completely shot dow…Watch The Video Review
Robi: Cosmic Savior Review
In a lot of these planetary defense games, there's a real sense of scope and responsibility. You're responsible for the continued existence of a planet beset either by aliens or asteroids (or alien controlled asteroids). Robi: Cosmic Saviour takes a more relaxed approach... in theory. His size plus the layout of the planet makes you think that this little robot lives peacefully out on some small moon, but his home is constantly under siege by space monsters. This is where the peaceful…Watch The Video Review
[UPDATED] Nimble Quest Review
When it comes to the freemium model, Nimblebit are one of the better developers at offering unique and interesting game experiences with a no cash up front policy, and thankfully their games aren't too inundated with in-app purchases or wasting your time as a gamer. Their latest effort Nimble Quest takes the foundation of the ever popular mobile experience, Snake, and turns it into a simple roleplaying game, albeit one that is more interested in lining up heroes than leveling one up (a…Watch The Video Review
Dream Tim Review
Not to be overly judgmental of the protagonist of Dream Tim, but if you're dreaming of putting yourself in an endless runner, regardless of the reasons or the reward at the end of the unlockable chapters, you might need to get yourself some professional help. Yes, Dream Tim is the latest in the endless runner genre, but it decides to take a bold stance, and do away with the normal run and jump gameplay, replacing it with a swiping mechanic to destroy monsters and grab coins. If it actu…Watch The Video Review
Sorted! Review
Sorted! by Mighty Kingdom finds itself falling in to that niche category of time-wasters that can best be described as 'micro games'. If you've ever played a WarioWare game you'll know what I'm talking about - you're presented with a rapid-fire series of screens where you have to figure out and succeed at the 'game' placed before you in a matter of seconds. However, unlike WarioWare, Sorted! sticks to one game, and while it does vary things up, the game feels limited and lacks a hook t…Watch The Video Review
[UPDATE] Order & Chaos Duels - Trading Card Game Review
[Editor's Note: After further gameplay testing we've noted several points in the campaign where the AI is provided with what can only be described as severly imbalanced abilities and decks. These will act as roadblocks preventing progression, though the exact placing of said roadblocks will depend on your character and their deck/abilities. Sadly it comes down to luck as to whether you'll draw better than your opponent in these cases and it would be good to see the pogression evened ou…Watch The Video Review
Smash the Office Review
If you've seen Office Space, then you'll know about its famous (or is that infamous?) printer smashing scene. It's a cathartic scene, especially if you've spent any extended amount of time in an office environment, but what if you could take things even further than the printer? Smash the Office isn't a title that seeks to ensconce players in a deep and thoughtful world. No, you get 60 seconds to smash up everything you can in an effort to score points and earn coins so you can do it a…Watch The Video Review
Snoopy Coaster Review
Snoopy Coaster is insidious. Last year Dave reviewed Madcoaster, and thought that it was an intriguing premise made far too forgiving, so much so that the game became quite boring. Well then why is Snoopy Coaster better when it's basically the same game with a different skin? well because Dave is a Peanuts fan of course, and while it's easy to sneer at a game using a licensed property to try and pull in fans of that property, the sad truth is that it works. Now don't get us wrong, this…Watch The Video Review

"The HD Bluetooth Music Receiver gives you the best of both worlds, exceptional audio quality and the convenience of accessing music stored directly on your mobile device or your favorite music service," said Nate Kraft, director of product management at Belkin. "It even stores settings for up to eight different devices, meaning the whole family can stream their favorite music seamlessly to the best sounding system in your home."
As the popularity of smartphones and tablets continues to grow, so does the market for high-quality headphones, powered speakers and devices for connecting mobile devices to more robust music systems.
The latest figures from NPD show that over 2012's Black Friday and holiday periods, headphone sales were up 15% in the US and sound bars and streaming-capable speakers were also extremely popular. Sales dollars rose in those categories by 47% and 276%, respectively.
Belkin was one of the first companies to enter this market with its original Bluetooth Music Receiver and it very quickly became a hit with technology journalists and the general public alike as one of the most inexpensive and simplest ways of connecting devices and playing music. As such it made the CNET "Best Tech Gifts for Under $50" list for 2012.
The new version, which is expected to retail for $59.99, should also prove to be popular as the demand for such devices continues to grow.

Emile Henry
This classic soufflé dish in cheerful yellow glaze will handle any kitchen task with grace: its solid, durable and lead-free construction retain heat to keep your foods warm, can travel directly from the freezer to the oven, and has a chip-, crack- and scratch-resistant finish.
Emile Henry cookware and tableware has been built to perform since 1850. But it's the luscious colors and designs that keep us craving. Crafted in Marcigny, France, from the local Burgundian clay, the dishes are hand-dipped in a rich glaze that resists scratching. Many are based on designs from the French company's archives and have the look and feel of French country pottery from the late 19th century. The ovenware is not only strong enough to withstand the abrupt temperature changes of freezer-to-oven cooking but is also beautiful enough to join the dinner party.

Nissan Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle: All-electric car for barbecues with karaoke, droneWritten by: William on March 9, 2015 at 9:02 am | In COOL PRODUCTS | 5 Comments
Every year there are some pretty outlandish concept cars, mostly designed to generate headlines and buzz.
But forget robots and bizarre shapes. Nissan have gone for a more practical, family-oriented approach. The Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle, showcased recently at the Japan Campign Car Show at Makuhari Messe Convention Center, Chiba, has been developed with the Japan BBQ Association.
It promises "everything you need for a barbecue in an effectless waste-efficient electric-powered unit".
It includes a 1,500W grill, shower, karaoke machine, mist shower to cool you down… and even a drone to document the whole experience.
Camping in Japan in the summer can be a recipe for disaster because of the high density of mosquitos. Not so with the BBQ Car: it has a "mosquito barrier system", which repells mosquitos with ultrasonic waves and insect repellent aromas!
You can even take snaps of your family excursion with the "flying selfie camera".
Finally, a smartphone-linked display system means the car window can become a screen.
We love the straight-faced narration that sounds more like a bad audition for a movie trailer ("Quick Electric Grill!") than a light-hearted concept car video.
The Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle is adapted from the e-NV200 and is all-electric, as we'd expect from the car maker that is leading the world EV development.
The BBQ Vehicle is concerned about the environment not only in terms of its power source. It wants to make sure you don't leave any garbage behind when you go home, so it includes a disposer.
The BBQ Vehicle is not available as a car yet, though there is a funding page for it over at Green Funding Lab if you fancy investing in the future of automotive transport for family outings.

Will the Tokyo 2020 Olympics be the "eco Olympics"?Written by: William on January 6, 2015 at 8:59 am | In CULTURE, LIFESTYLE | No Comments
When Tokyo made its ultimately successful bid for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it emphasized how its Games would be compact and ecological.
The Olympic Village to house athletes for 2020 Games in Tokyo will be a futuristic "hydrogen town". Power and hot water will be generated from hydrogen gas supplied by stations and pipelines built by the city in other locations. These would feed into a network of clean hydrogen energy fuel cells.
But the "eco Games" have already been controversial, not least for the decision to award the biggest feather in the contractors' caps — the new Olympic Stadium — to a foreign architect, Zaha Hadid, and for a design that looks like a spaceship. So much for the green Olympics. Outrage over the cost and size of the stadium, far in excess of the original allocation, has led to it being scaled back dramatically. That said, the new stadium is still going to cost $1.37 billion, possibly the most expensive stadium in the world. "We aim to build Japan's National Stadium to boast to the world," said the Japan Sport Council. Leading Japanese architects have instead responded that Hadid's stadium is a white elephant, a "turtle".
The existing national stadium is going to be demolished this month. The new venue was proposed because the current one does not meet Olympic standards nor is it up to today's levels of anti-seismic safety.
Clean energy automobiles is one area that no one would dispute Japan has been a pioneer. Toyota has become the top car manufacturer thanks to its hybrid electric vehicles, while the Nissan Leaf is the world's best-selling all-electric vehicle. This trend looks set to continue as we approach the Games. Toyota have just released the Mirai, a sedan that is world's first mass-market fuel-cell car in Japan. Even the buses to transport athletes in 2020 will be hydrogen-powered.
Sustainable energy is the elephant in the room in Japan. The immense furore over nuclear energy in the wake of the Fukushima crisis has turned the argument predominantly into one of the risks of nuclear power versus the need for the so-called "nuclear village" system, which was erected by the government in the post-war period. However, the real issue is not only if nuclear power stations, especially old ones built decades ago, are sensible in a nation with so many natural disasters. The task at hand is not so just clean energy for the 17,000 athletes living for a few weeks at Harumi, but green energy for the whole of Japan.
The Olympic Village section of the 2020 Games proposal specifically highlights the eco nature of the plan.
Construction of the Olympic Village will produce minimal greenhouse gas emissions through a comprehensive and verifiable greenhouse gas reduction plan. It will be developed in compliance with the Tokyo 2020 Sustainability Strategy, and the "Green Building Program" and the "Tokyo Vision 2020" long-term urban plan. The CASBEE Urban Development standard will be applied, and specific elements of the LEED ND (Neighbourhood Development) standard applied where practicable.
Since the Olympic Village site is a stepping stone in the "Wind Trail" described in "Tokyo Vision 2020″, it has been designed so comfort zone winds will easily pass through. Landscaping, green roofs and walls are actively planned. These efforts are also incorporated in guidelines of the TMG's development programmes. Implementation of environmental measures will be an incentive for development in the private sector.
It goes further to discuss the legacy of the Games in terms of sustainability.
The Olympic Village will become an urban residential "smart city pioneer model", where Japanese sustainability technologies are assembled.
In other words, the Village will become a model for further smart city development rolled out over the rest of Tokyo and Japan.
If the Tokyo government is sincere about this, they have a lot of work to do.

Nenrin Mini Healing Speaker, an audio speaker made from 30-year-old Kyoto cedarWritten by: Japan Trends on August 11, 2014 at 11:47 am | In COOL PRODUCTS | No Comments
While Japan might at times seem just to be one concrete jungle, there's still a lot of nature around and even some cities maintain a rare balance between the forests of old and the convenience (stores) of new. Kyoto is one, where you can walk from Gion to the mountains in a relatively short amount of time.
Wood is of course the consummate Japanese material. It is used traditionally for houses, temples and bridges. However, wood also burns down easily, which is not great in a country prone to earthquakes and natural disasters.
And so, along with the demands of cheaper materials and urban living, wood has been replaced by concrete in most people's domiciles. However, there are still craftsmen trying to make use of the material in new ways. And the traditional need not preclude the commercial.
Here's a great example. The Nenrin Mini Healing Speaker is an audio speaker made with genuine Kitayama Kyoto cedar wood allowed to grow for 30 years before harvesting. The name plays on "Nenrin", meaning growth ring, and the speaker is the result of a five-year development partnership between Kyoto Natural Factory and a Kyoto precious wood dealer.
There are two log designs and colors. You can get either a natural or dark finish, while the Jinshibo version is "treated" and polished, and the Deshibo speaker is 100% natural.
Since the wood is so old, not surprisingly the speakers don't come cheap. However, knowing your speaker comes from sustainably-harvested materials will give you the moral high ground over your friends and their cheap made-in-China boomboxes, not to mention that this is a real work of art and with the natural materials enhancing the sound quality.
It reminds us of the Bon Bon Sound lacquerware speakers (sadly no longer available) from a few years back that combined superior audio quality with beautiful artisanship.
The Nenrin Mini Healing Speaker is made to order and is available for international deliveries through JapanTrendShop.

JGBOARD: 100% recyclable cardboard furniture — but is it really eco?Written by: Mina on December 4, 2013 at 8:09 am | In COOL PRODUCTS | No Comments
As the name tells itself, LowCarbonLife.net provides yet another possible solution for saving the earth. Online they have a variety of furniture on sale, but it's neither the design nor the build-it-yourself concept that separates the brand from other competitors in the market. It's JGBOARD, the patented material that makes the difference.
In short, JGBOARD is a 100% recyclable wooden board that is made from used paper. JGBOARD furniture, then, can be disposed of as recyclable waste just like ordinary cardboard boxes (which are collected separately and recycled in Japan).
Does this seemingly eco-friendly material only help us feel less guilty about throwing out or replacing old furniture? Well, according to their description, their product is just as durable as any other wooden furniture, yet is 40% lighter, about 50% cheaper and waterproof. There is no need to use any tools, as paper tubes and double stick tape replace the role of nails to connect each board. Their video tutorials are also great help to build each piece of furniture which, to be quite frank, looks much like just placing a different combination of colored cardboard boxes onto one another.
The low table on the left below is 3,900 yen and the single bed on the right is a mere 14,499 yen.
At first I felt nothing but great respect for whoever came up with the idea of making 100% recyclable furniture. And yet I can't also help but question one phrase that is written in their product description – use it as disposable furniture and feel at ease. It seems as though JGBOARD furniture is specifically targeted at those who need a set of simple furniture for a short period of time. The demand for such product is surely expected to increase in spring as it is the time of the new school year and fiscal year, with many people moving in and out of their places.
I don't mean to boast here but the wooden desk that I have at home has been with me for almost twenty years and I never intend to throw it out. It's one thing to be eco-friendly and move toward a world where everything is recyclable, but I can't help thinking there should be some other ways, too.

Kyocera builds massive solar farm, tourist destinationWritten by: William on November 14, 2013 at 10:16 am | In NEW TECH | 1 Comment
In post-Fukushima Japan, we need more projects like this.
While the LDP government slowly cranks up the return to full nuclear power, some Japanese corporations are being more realistic about the future. One of them is Kyocera, which has built the Kagoshima Nanatsujima Mega Solar Power Plant at a cost of $275.5 million.
The solar power plant is Japan's largest and has a capacity of 70 megawatts. That's enough to power some 22,000 Japanese homes (which are typically a bit smaller than American or European ones).
According to Kyocera, the plant "is being operated by a special purpose company established by Kyocera and six other companies to sell the electricity to a local utility under Japan's feed-in-tariff (FIT) program."
The Kyushu facility covers an area of 1,270,000m2, roughly the same area as 27 baseball stadiums.
Expectations and interest in solar energy have heightened to a new level in Japan with the need to resolve power supply issues resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011. To further promote the use of renewable energy, the Japanese government launched a restructured FIT program in July 2012, which stipulates that local utilities are required to purchase 100% of the power generated from solar installations of more than 10 kilowatts (kW) for a period of 20 years.
Kyocera is also being savvy about the PR advantages of being a green pioneer in Japan, not to mention how it can tie in with regional tourism, a formidable money-spinner. That's why it is promoting the site not only for its long-term eco implications but also its own intrinsic value as a visiting destination for technology buffs (of which there are more than a few in Japan) or even sightseers hoping for good views of nearby Sakurajima.
Additionally, a tour facility has been built adjacent to the 70MW plant — which is open to the public — featuring a circular viewing room where visitors can observe the 290,000 solar panels from an elevated vantage point and enjoy the view of the ocean bay and grand Sakurajima volcano in the background. Display zones for visitors such as students and tourists provide information about environmental issues and the science behind photovoltaic energy generation. By dedicating this facility, all parties involved hope to foster a deeper understanding of renewable energy and further facilitate a low-carbon society.
Let's hope that vision isn't too far away.

Udon Power: Kagawa to start generating electricity from udon noodlesWritten by: William on August 5, 2013 at 10:07 am | In LIFESTYLE | No Comments
Kagawa prefecture on Shikoku island, famed for its udon noodles, has found another way to turn its popular food to good use — power.
Chiyoda Manufacturing in Takamatsu City has announced "udon power generation" in which waste udon noodles are fermented to make methane gas, which is then burnt as fuel to drive electricity-generating turbines. This will be sold on to Shikoku Electric Power Company from September. In a year it is planned to make around 50 households' power, or 180,000 kilowatt-hours. The generation facilities will also be available for purchase by other would-be noodle electricians.
The same company has already been manufacturing biomass ethanol gas from waste noodles from Kagawa and the methane gas plan emerged when they wanted to utilized the leftover materials from their previous bioethanol operations.
Using around 1 ton of raw garbage collected from restaurants and 1.5 tons of udon used in ethanol production, this then forms one day's worth of fuel that is placed in the fermenting tub to be burnt. This produces methane gas, which drives turbines that generates electricity.
The plant can be operated for twenty-four hours a day and then sell its output for some 7 million yen a year. This value almost doubles when you add in the income the company receives for supplying waste disposal services to udon manufacturers and restaurants to take their waste noodles off their hands. Now that's what we call an ace renewable energy business model.

nendo designs Coca-Cola Bottleware from recycled coke bottlesWritten by: William on October 4, 2012 at 12:01 am | In COOL PRODUCTS | No Comments
The contour Coca-Cola bottle has to be one of the most iconic beverage vessels in the world.
But even when something is that established, it doesn't mean it can't be given new life sometimes when there is a great concept.
Coca-Cola must think so too, since they have employed nendo, one of Japan's top design offices, to come up with Bottleware, a whole new tableware collection to "bring bottle to another level".
It's a kind of eco idea fused with classic Japanese artisanship. The bottles will be "up-cycled" from degraded glass contour bottles. After all, Coca-Cola bottles are already collected, cleaned and recycled. But still some of course deteriorate over time and these are the ones that will now be turned into this superb new tableware range, courtesy of Oki Sato and his team at nendo.
Sato says: "We were captivated by the particular greenish-blue tint, fine air bubbles and distortions that are a hallmark of recycled glass, so decided to create simple shapes that would enhance these traits. But we also wanted users to feel a remnant of the distinctive bottle in the new products. Our solution was to create bowls and dishes that retain its distinctive lower shape, as though the top had been sliced off."
"The dimpling on the bottle base that keeps the bottle from sliding is not ordinarily a strong visual feature, but it's part of a bottle's identity nonetheless, and visible to anyone who picks up the bottle to drink. Keeping these ring-shaped dimples on the base of our bowls and plates doesn't just retain their non-slip quality, but also helps to convey important messages about the way that glass circulates between people as it's made, used and recycled for further use, and about the connections it makes between people in this process."
The actual creation of the final products has been entrusted to a small workshop in Aomori in northern Japan, known for its glass craftsmanship utilizing local traditions.
The resulting bowls and dishes are on sale priced from around ¥5,000 ($60) to nearly ¥15,000 (nearly $200). They will be on display as part of Design Tide Tokyo 2012 later this autumn (October 31st to November 4th) and then on sale at highly select stores in the capital in strictly limited numbers.

Fashionable Re-Charging for Non-Stopping ShoppersWritten by: William on September 17, 2012 at 3:51 pm | In COOL PRODUCTS, LIFESTYLE | 1 Comment
Fashion brand amadana has come up with this pseudo eco bag, the BAGTTERY, part power source and part quasi-luxury apparel. It sounds like a character from Game of Thrones but it is meant, you've guessed it, to be "bag + battery".
The idea is that busy, busy shopping girls on Omotesando want to charge up their phones or tablets but stay on the move — and of course look good.
You can boost your phone to "around 2.5 charge", courtesy of the USB battery inside the leather bag. It makes things a bit hefty though; the bag weighs in at nearly 1.5kg (3.3 lb)!
We've seen a few of these kinds of charging products before, from cheap USB bags and so on made by the likes of Thanko, to more impressive innovations in the Sanyo Eneloop series of mobile rechargeable gadgets.
This is clearly a cut above the rest; the price of this fashion accessory can set you back as much as ¥88,000 (over $1,000), depending on the top end store where you buy it.
This reminds of us of the eco bag boom, which also saw lots of fashion items emerge to suit energy-conscious consumers.
Japan's eco trends are always fun to watch. You are never sure if you are looking at something really innovative — and frequently you are on the tech side — or just silly. The eco mottainai boom over the last few years has definitely veered that way, with every sundry item being labelled and sold as "My…" (chopsticks, bag, coffee tumbler etc). A marketing gimmick isn't needed for something that should be common sense!
The March 2011 disaster was a real chance for Japan to rebuild, creating sustainable smart communities in Tohoku, and replacing aging hulks of nuclear reactors with off-shore wind farms, geothermal energy plants, tide power generators and so on.
The jury is still out — and for the foreseeable future — on whether the regional and central governments can defy their sclerotic stereotype and deliver a viable alternative for the next generation.

We all know that the New Year is a time for new beginnings – an opportunity for fresh starts. Typically, we vow to exercise more, eat less, spend fewer hours at the office, acquire new skills or set some other lofty goal.
For those of us in positions of state leadership, perhaps the New Year is also a good time to evaluate the way we do things in Columbia.
I would like to thank Lancaster Motor Company for helping my grandfather and me with a business form we needed filled out.
A very friendly service manager took his time to look up vehicles and print the form for no charge.
They say nothing is free anymore, but this very kind man took his time to help us out. What he did for me helped us tremendously. I have had dealings with other dealerships in Lancaster and this dealership wins over them all. I would recommend dealing with them first. Thank you.

A Lancaster man was shot and killed early New Year's Day, and his cousin has been charged in the shooting death.
Devion Mandrell Collins, 20, died early Thursday.
Lancaster police say Collins' cousin, James Curry Jr., 22, shot him during an argument.
"The victim and suspect had gotten into an argument and things escalated from there," said Capt. Harlean Howard of the Lancaster Police Department.
INDIAN LAND – The 2009 Safe Kids South Carolina calendar will include artwork by Indian Land Middle School sixth-grader Brandon Sellers.
A statewide competition was held to select 13 entries for the annual calendar that addresses child safety topics.
Sellers' art was selected for January, which is scald and burn prevention month.
His drawing depicts a cigarette lighter and a flame with the tagline "Little Lighters Make Big Fires."
Sellers said he decided to work on a fire safety theme because he knew he could draw flames well.
INDIAN LAND – Joe Ramsey is worried about the City of Light.
A 30-year resident of Indian Land, Ramsey is concerned how the 90-acre campus, constructed by faith organization Inspiration Networks, will impact his community.
Ramsey fears the project, which includes a WorldReach Center and soon-to-be-completed International Prayer Center, will put a strain on his neighborhood.
He isn't as much worried about the City of Light headquarters, as he is about the additional construction projects that come along with it.
According to Lancaster Police Department reports:
– Kentavious McKenzie Caldwell, 22, 1005 Sara Drive, was charged Dec. 25 with possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and loud music violation.
An officer stopped the burgundy Oldsmobile that Caldwell was driving because the music was too loud and he failed to dim the bright lights for opposing traffic, the report said.
INDIAN LAND – Indian Land Middle School hosted a fierce competition Dec. 18. It wasn't academic or athletic; it was gingerbread.
Teams of teachers from throughout the school participated in a gingerbread house design competition, with students determining the winner.
Principal David McDonald said the activity was a team-building exercise that was also a nice way to energize the staff in the closing weeks of the term.
Former Lancaster County Sheriff Williford Faile has watched his son grow from a boy to man.
His son, Barry Faile, stepped into a new position that may have made his father most proud.
The younger Faile was sworn in Friday morning as the county's new sheriff.
He succeeds Johnny Cauthen, who announced his retirement last year.
Elected officials and law officers from at least five different counties were among those who filled Bundy Auditorium at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster to witness the swearing-in ceremony.
Sixth Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield is expecting budget cuts in 2009.
"Like every other government, we have budget cuts," Barfield said. "It seems like every other week, we're getting hit with another budget cut."
Barfield said his office weathered two budget cuts within the fiscal year, and just heard plans for another 7 percent cut to come soon. The bulk of the funding for his office goes to staff salaries, but so far he hasn't had to lay off any employees.
"We certainly want to keep people working," he said.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Afghan women: the fight for survival
19 Jun 2012 14:35 GMT | US & Canada, United States
Thousands of black, Latino, Muslim and gay activists from about 300 civil rights groups marched silently in New York City on Sunday demanding an end to the New York Police Department's (NYPD) stop and frisk policy.
"If you're white in New York you actually have to do something, you have to present reasonable suspicion to be stopped. Whereas if you're a person of colour the police just disregard that …[and] there is no oversight effectively of the NYPD, the world's seventh largest army."
- Shahid Buttar from the Bill of Rights Defense Committee
The diverse group of protesters accused the country's largest police department - which has about 35,000 officers - of racial profiling.
Over the last decade the number of people who were stopped and interrogated by the NYPD has increased by more than 600 per cent - the majority of them were black and Hispanic. In fact, in 2011 the number of times African Americans were stopped is larger than the actual number of African Americans who live in the entire city.It is not the first time that the NYPD has been accused of racial discrimination. Earlier this year, the Associated Press uncovered a spy operation by the police department which targeted the Muslim population in the city and beyond.And although the majority of the city's voters disapprove of the stop and frisk tactic, most white voters - between 39 to 56 per cent - approve of it.
"The deterrent nature to the violence we're dealing with in urban America is called better schools, employment opportunities, people having possibilities for their lives; not stopping and frisking people, criminalising them and having them in a constant state of fear."
- Kevin Powell, a political activist
Michael Bloomberg, the city's mayor, says these measures help keep New York safe. On Sunday, he defended the policy saying: "We've sent a message to criminals, if we suspect you may be carrying a gun, we will stop you. Through those stops, the police have recovered thousands of guns over the past decade … and tens of thousands of other weapons. There is no doubt those stops have saved lives."Bloomberg argued that the policy helped lead to a decrease in violent crime. Violent crime in New York did drop by 24 per cent between 2002 - when the stop and frisk policy was introduced - and 2010. But bigger decreases were recorded in cities without the policy; in Los Angeles it was down by 58 per cent during the same period, in Dallas by 46 per cent and in Baltimore by 32 per cent.Inside Story Americas asks: What are the wider implications of a policy like the NYPD's stop and frisk for minority communities?Joining presenting Shihab Rattansi to discuss this are guests: Shahid Buttar, the executive director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, and Kevin Powell, a political activist who took part in Sunday's march and the author of Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, and the Ghost of Dr King.

Together, these two models offer the consumer a strong line of High-Definition players to match Samsungs award winning, and best selling, line of HDTVs.
"We welcome Samsung's Duo HD player as another solution in the marketplace that will help reduce consumer confusion and buyer hesitancy towards HD media," said Ron Sanders, President of Warner Home Video. "This is an innovative product that can move us closer to mainstream consumer adoption of HD technologies."
We are very pleased to announce the upcoming release of our Duo HD player. Consumers are hungry for more HD content but are currently confused about competing formats. Samsungs Duo HD player will allow consumers access to every HD movie title available regardless of the authoring format. Samsung is committed to making life simpler through technology and will market next generation DVD products which will satisfy the consumer and market requirement. This is a big win for the consumer.

Cottman Transmission and Total Auto CareRead MoreTechnicians at Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care maintain inter-auto harmony with lubricating oil changes and safety inspections. During the 15- to 20-minute service, mechanics empty washed-up oils and DMV cheat sheets hidden in engines, and replace them with up to five quarts of slickening sauce, capping off the service by installing a new filter. Rubbery soles privy to the tire rotation slip out of their disks and trade places to lay the foundation for even tread wear, and Rain-X treatments glaze car window panes to keep them clear while driving through inclement weather and meatball fights. Mechanics then peruse the car's perimeter during a safety check, testing essential parts for safe, optimal driving conditions.120 Southport RdSpartanburg, SC US
Speedee Oil Change and Tune up - SpartanburgRead MoreSpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service first opened its doors more than 30 years ago, right around the time when corner gas stations began trading their garage bays for the wide aisles and refrigerators of a mini mart. With automotive service stations in decline, the first location in Metairie, Louisiana, stepped in to take care of car owners with simple lube jobs and general tune-ups. SpeeDee expanded to offer a full range of services including working on brakes, power steering, and transmissions, among other things. Locally owned franchises now service roadsters in 20 states, supplying drivers with ASE?certified technicians who pamper vehicles with 17-point oil changes and immunizations against rusty nails.1484 W.O. Ezell Blvd.Spartanburg, SC US
Jiffy Lube - CharlotteRead MoreThe highly trained technicians at Jiffy Lube tend to about 24 million customers each year with services such as the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change package, which helps promote the longevity of each vehicle. Staffers acknowledge that oil plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan of each car—it cools the motor and helps prevent moving parts from deteriorating. More than 20,000 technicians—all of which have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)—service vehicles at Jiffy Lube. In addition to performing oil changes, technicians offer preventative services such as air-filtration and electrical-system maintenance, among others. Jiffy Lube's quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services, complete a service only after it has been approved, and refuse to replace windshields with saran wrap.2109 Union RdGastonia, NC US
FlyCarolinaRead MoreFor FlyCarolina, the sky is never the limit. In the last 15 years, they have helped many aspiring pilots learn how to fly with their custom flight-training programs. More than 20 aircraft comprise the school's fleet, which is used to train pilots from beginner through commercial levels. FlyCarolina also offers a private jet charter service. Licensed pilots can take advantage of FlyCarolina's flying club and co-ownership programs. Plane owners can also take advantage of the company?s professional aircraft maintenance services.1126 Gaston Day School Rd.Gastonia, NC US
Queen City Helicopter Corp.Read MoreWhen the Robinson helicopters at Queen City Helicopter Corp. aren't acting as airborne classrooms for aspiring pilots, they're whisking passengers on aerial tours of nearby landmarks. The peaks of Crowders Mountain, the sports arenas of uptown Charlotte, and the horses and buggies of the Charlotte Motor Speedway loom large in the windows of the chopper after it takes off from the company's very own private, FAA-approved heliport. On the ground at the FAA flight school, pilots safely test their abilities inside a flight simulator and study in the onsite classroom.125 Fraley RoadGastonia, NC US
Tindol Ford SubaruRead MoreNew Ford models such as the Focus, Explorer, and Mustang gleam inside Tindol Ford Subaru?s showroom, complementing a selection that also includes used vehicles from Ford, Honda, BMW, and Cadillac. The customer-service-focused staffers help to pair up prospective buyers with cars that suit their lifestyles, explaining financing options rather than insisting everyone pay with sacks of Tonka trucks. Meanwhile, certified technicians tend to road-worn cars in the onsite auto shop. They inspect and tune up autos, change oil, and swap dilapidated parts for factory-certified replacements. The techs can also tackle more rigorous tasks, repairing autos after major collisions or converting trucks into monster trucks by injecting them with an experimental serum.1901 E Franklin Blvd.Gastonia, NC US

About Me
- Back when I was 24, I'd joke that I was my last factorial when asked my age. I became very depressed upon turning 25--not because of any nonsense about mathematics being a young man's game, but because I could no longer use my line. Faced with a difficult problem, I turned to my advisor. With characteristic wisdom, Stanton pointed out that this was precisely why a 22-year-old Euler had developed the gamma function.

She said: "There are a number of reasons for the low level of recruitment of teenagers and young adults to trials, particularly for the 20-24 year-olds. These include inappropriate trial design, poor accessibility to trials for TYAs, and too many young people not being treated by specialist cancer teams.
"At present, the design and age eligibility criteria for trials tend to reflect whether the trial organisers treat children or adult patients, rather than the biology of the particular cancer, and the age group which it is mostly likely to occur in. Traditionally, trials will have an age cut off between 16 and 20. TYAs are constantly falling through the gap created by the tendency for paediatricians to treat the younger ages, and for the older ages to be treated in adult cancer wards.
"If we are to see improvements in the treatments and outcomes for TYAs with cancer, there needs to be closer dialogue between research groups when they are planning cancer trials. They should give particular consideration to the specific needs of this over-looked age group so that a more appropriate trial portfolio for TYAs can be established in the UK."
Dr Fern said she thought that particular effort was needed to improve the recruitment of 20-24 year-olds to clinical trials. "One of the reasons why there is a relatively higher level of 10-14 year-olds entering trials is because they tend to be treat

Sky's the limit for Jamaica umpire
- Jan
- 24
Umpire Patrick Gustard. – Contributed
Jamaican umpire Patrick Gustard has set his sights on becoming on ICC International official after officiating in the final of the Caribbean Twenty20 tournament in St Lucia on Sunday.
Overall the 41-year-old Gustard stood in six matches in the regional tournament and he told STAR Sports that he was humbled by his achievement and is now looking to take his talent to the international stage very soon.
"It was a great experience for me," said Gustard. "I was able to get onto the senior panel in my first year and was given the opportunity to do the final and so it was a great achievement," Gustard said shortly after arriving home yesterday.
"I have learnt a lot and I am going to use that to improve my field technique in terms of umpiring," said Gustard, who have been umpiring for the past 12 years.
"The objective right now is to reach the international panel and from there on, the sky is the limit for me."
Gustard have also been appointed to umpire in the upcoming Caribbean 50 overs competition as well as the regional four-day competition later this year. "I am working hard to improve every day, because I am in the top eight umpires in the region," he said.
Gustard added that each umpire was assessed after every match in the just concluded tournament and because of his outstanding showing during the preliminary rounds, he was chosen to do the final.
"Officiating in the final was a major milestone and I think that this is a big stepping stone for me because I think I did well in the preliminary rounds and that gave me the opportunity to stand in the final," Gustard stated.

1854 Kellogg & Co. Twenty Dollar1854 $20 Kellogg & Co. Twenty Dollar MS61 PCGS. CAC. K-1b, R.5. Of the five known varieties of 1854 Kellogg & Co. double eagles, K-1b stands out in terms of rarity, stylization, and overall beauty. This variety is quickly identified by the slightly more fanciful hair detail than found on the other three varieties. Additional aids to attribution include the shape of the 8 in the date, positional relationships between KELLOGG & CO and the coronet details, and repunching on the stars. As Don Kagin noted in his ground-breaking treatise Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States (1981), the date on K-1b is "very thin."
K-1b Variety, MS61
K-1b Variety, MS61
That method of identification can be useful if comparing the different varieties, but less so if one is trying to attribute one coin. A more accurate method of identification is to visually measure the inside loops of the 8, which are nearly round on K-1b, but oval on the other varieties. What is clear, however, is that this variety appears less frequently at auction than the other varieties of this issue.
In terms of the execution of the dies and the wonderful state of preservation, the current coin is superior to most examples of this type. Rich apricot-gold coloration throughout is lightly framed by a touch of copper toning at the peripheries. The clean fields, luster and overall eye appeal is what one would expect to find on a coin grading a few points higher. Perhaps a small patch of abrasions on Liberty's cheek and a couple of reverse rim ticks influenced PCGS's conservative opinion. Regardless of technical grade, the aesthetic quality of this piece is rarely encountered on Kellogg & Co. double eagles. Listed on page 391 of the 2014 Guide Book.

Snow Patrol's 'Empires' Coming Stateside after Strong U.K. Debut
Snow Patrol has come a long way in recent years. A good measure of just how far? The company that the Irish/Scottish five-piece now keeps. When singer Gary Lightbody was suffering from writer's block last year, for instance, he called up R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe for advice. Not a bad phone friend for a band once virtually unknown outside the United Kingdom. Stipe's tutoring had the desired effect, providing the creative catalyst for Snow Patrol's sixth studio set, "Fallen Empires."
Recorded in Los Angeles with longtime producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee, the 14-track set arrived Nov. 14 on Fiction Records/Universal and debuted at No. 3 on the U.K. albums chart with first-week sales of 80,000, according to the Official Charts Co. "Fallen Empires" is the band's fifth top five album and follows 2008's "A Hundred Million Suns," which has sold 500,000, according to the OCC. "Fallen Empires" also debuted at No. 1 in the Netherlands and Ireland.
Since forming in Scotland in the mid-'90s, Snow Patrol -- Lightbody, guitarist Nathan Connolly, bassist Paul Wilson, drummer Jonny Quinn and keyboardist Tom Simpson -- has sold more than 11 million albums, according to its label. The group's best-selling album in the United States is 2006's "Eyes Open," which has moved 1.3 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "A Hundred Million Suns" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 210,000.
"I feel like they've realized their potential on this record," Fiction Records managing director Jim Chancellor says. "Gary summed it up when he said that they've grasped their inner dance monkey. There's a lot more groove to the tunes. There's a couple of big songs instead of just one. There's dancey songs, uptempo rock tracks . . . it's just a really great palate."
Chancellor credits radio support from national top 40 station BBC Radio 1 in building a strong U.K. launch platform. Lead single "Called Out in the Dark" was playlisted on Radio 1's A-list (placing the track in regular daily rotation) and debuted at No. 11 on the U.K. singles chart in September. A second single, "This Isn't Everything You Are," has since been added to Radio 1's A-list.
"We're in a pop market, and getting anything with a guitar on the radio these days is literally like running up a hill in treacle," says Chancellor, who cites TV appearances on "The Graham Norton Show," "Later . . . With Jools Holland" and the BBC 1 broadcast "Children in Need Rocks Manchester" charity concert with further driving sales. The band also performed a free outdoor show in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Nov. 6 for 15,000 fans as part of the MTV European Music Awards. "It's the best TV plot we've ever had in the history of the band," he says.
TV will also play a big role in the forthcoming U.S. push. Snow Patrol is booked to play "Late Show With David Letterman" on Jan. 9 with "Fallen Empires" -- which features guest contributions from U.S. folk singer Lissie, Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and the L.A. Inner City Mass Gospel Choir -- set to make its North American bow on Jan. 10 through Island Def Jam.
"Called Out in the Dark" has been serviced to triple A radio ahead of the band traveling to the States in December for promotion. A U.K. and Ireland tour will commence Jan. 20 at Dublin's O2 Arena, booked by London-based X-Ray Touring. The 17-date trek includes two nights at London's 17,000-capacity O2 Arena, followed by a monthlong run of European dates. U.S. live plans are to be announced.

PUTRAJAYA: Blood samples taken from animals in 20 pig farms in Kampung Selamat, Penang, showed no sign of the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus, said the Department of Veterinary Services.
The samples, totalling 181 taken on Tuesday, were analysed at the Veterinary Research Institute in Ipoh.
The department then widened its surveillance to 179 other pig farms in Penang.
Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said the move was necessary to trace the source of the virus.
"Now that the pigs in the main suspected area have been cleared, we have to widen the search for the source. Apart from continuing to take blood samples from the pigs, we will also take samples from other animals, including waterfowls and maybe pets. This will be done at random," he told newsmen here yesterday.
Department director-general Datuk Dr Mohamad Azmie Zakaria said the department would continue to monitor all farms in the state.
As for pigs in Kampung Selamat, he said no live animals were allowed to leave the area, pointing out that only slaughtered meat could be taken out.
Dr Mohamad Azmie said surveillance and blood samples would continue to be taken until the source of the virus was found.
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry said it would consider introducing JE vaccination for children in Penang, similar to the programme being carried out in Sarawak, if necessary.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said vaccination might be necessary if JE cases in Penang continued to go up.
"We will study very carefully and make a decision," he told a press conference after visiting the Sarawak General Hospital in Kuching yesterday.
A committee comprising representatives from the ministry, the veterinary department and local authorities has been set up to oversee the situation in Penang.
"We will discuss what other steps need to be taken after evaluating how effective the current control measures are," Dr Subramaniam said.
In George Town, Penang's Agriculture and Agro-based Industry, Rural Development and Health Committee chairman Dr Afif Bahardin has confirmed three JE cases in different areas – George Town, Bagan Jermal and Tasek Gelugor.
"There are no pig farms in the first two areas," he said.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/24/12
The last time Peyton Manning and Drew Brees met - in Super Bowl XLIV - the game ended with Brees and the New Orleans Saints raising the Lombardi Trophy. Manning will be looking for a bit of revenge Sunday night as the Denver Broncos host the Saints, who play their first game under interim coach Joe Vitt. A lot has changed since that matchup in February 2010. Of course, Manning is no longer donning an Indianapolis Colts uniform. And the Saints - having started 0-4 - aren't exactly looking like Super Bowl contenders, though they've won two in a row. But other things - like Manning and Brees starring as two of the league's top quarterbacks - are still the same. "Both guys are first-ballot Hall of Famers," said Denver cornerback Tracy Porter, whose interception return for a touchdown sealed the Super Bowl for the Saints. He will face his former team for the first time, now on the same side as the quarterback he picked off. Manning has silenced doubts regarding his health after miss...

Consumer healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has confirmed that it was pulling some versions of infant Tylenol off store shelves in the United States due to problems with new design of the bottles.
The company said it would recall all of the 574,000 redesigned bottles of grape-flavored liquid infant Tylenol.
The redesigned bottles of infant Tylenol included a plastic cover that was designed to make it easier for parents to extract the correct dose of the medicine with a plastic syringe.
But some parents complained that when they slotted the syringe into the top of the bottle, it shoved the cover right into the bottle, making it complicated to gauge the right quantity of the medicine.
Chief executive William Weldon claimed that was nothing incorrect with the medicine itself and that the company issued the latest recall to preserve and reinforce the company's commitment to patients and consumers.
Since 2009, J&J has issued several recalls, pulling millions of bottles of Tylenol, Benadryl and Motrin off the store shelves due to problems such as metal shavings found in medicines, bad odors and wrong levels of an active ingredient.
