This darker story is echoed by grittier visuals amid a backdrop of massive, awe-inspiring environments. Characters, enemies, and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine designed to deliver epic-scale encounters against the cunning and ruthless Covenant.

Best of the series!

Good game, one downfall
This review is from: Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Haven't played the game all the way through yet, but the story line seems to be pretty good.
Cons: Microsoft expects us to pay them to play the multiplayer side of the game. What is the point of this, this was my one major disappointment with the game.

Halo at its finest
This review is from: Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Reach refines the gameplay of the previous entries as far as it can go. Bungie held nothing back this time. The game is the end of their involvement with the series and you can tell it was a labor of love for them. The graphics are far more detailed than in Halo 3 and the art style takes a much grittier turn. The story is more character driven than anything they have done before. You know how it ends, but it doesn't lessen the impact of seeing the final hours of planet Reach. The multiplayer is like the old games with the addition of more customization and loadouts, which can be turned off for a more classic feel if you desire. Forge has improved by leaps and bounds. I feel like a kid with Legos again! The amount of content created by the community is simply insane. I'm still discovering new ways of playing the game. It will keep it feeling fresh for a very long time.
Cons: If there is one thing that I feel they did wrong with Reach, it is the ranking system used online. I can't even count the number of times I've found myself in an unbalanced match against players many times the rank of my team. For this reason, I'd recommend playing this with friends. I don't know why they changed it from the excellent skill/experience system Halo 3 used, but it just doesn't work if you ask me.
Other Thoughts: Aside from that, the game is still 100% Halo. If you hated the other ones, you will probably still feel the same way about Reach and that is fine. To each his own.

Halo: Reach Review
This review is from: Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Game
Pros: This is a fairly good game so far. Played through the Campaign on Co-op the first time through on Heroic, and done a bunch of 'Firefight' missions. The level of customization of the characters is very good and engaging, but requires points to upgrade. Overall the game is fairly polished - I didn't have any technical problems at all while playing the game.
Cons: The game was a lot shorter than I was expecting, but the missions were fairly engaging. I am not a huge fan of the new engine or the new guys - I enjoyed Halo3 a lot more than Reach. The new guns just don't have the same feel. The elites are really tough to kill, and take an average of a lot more shots to take one down than Halo3. The grenades are thrown a LOT further in this game than the rest as well... not always a good thing as I found myself overthrowing a lot of times. I'm giving 4 stars because the game is good... just not great.
Other Thoughts: The game is worth buying if you are a true Halo fan, but I feel this was one of the weakest of all the Halo games.

Lizzie McLane, the adopted poet-heroine of the widely acclaimed The Secret of Me, is now a high school senior, excited about her future: meeting boys, college, and finally finding her birthmother. Then, on the day a letter from her adoption agency arrives, her adoptive father unexpectedly dies. Lizzie, lost in grief, turns to alcohol and the wrong kind of friends, and her life begins to spiral out of control. Loved ones try to help, but only in her poems and journals can Lizzie make sense of the hurt and her relentless curiosity about her birthmother. I looked in the mirror . . . Who was that girl staring at me, blood on her blouse, black under her swollen eyes? I don't know you, I said out loud. I don't know you, she said back. The Girl in the Mirror is a story about love and identity-brave, vulnerable, and compelling.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Hall of famer Jim Ringo dies
Green Bay - Former Green Bay Packers center Jim Ringo, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, passed away this morning two days shy of his 76th birthday after a short illness, according to the Hall of Fame.
Ringo played 11 seasons for the Packers after being drafted out of Syracuse University in 1953, and played four more seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles through 1967.
Ringo started a then-record 182 consecutive games from 1954 to 1967. He was named All-NFL seven times, voted to 10 Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL???s All-Decade Team of the 1960s.
Ringo was also an assistant coach with the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots and New York Jets.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981.
???As Vince Lombardi once observed, Jim epitomized the toughness and determination needed to not only play the center position but to become one of the game???s most dominant offensive linemen of his era,??? Steve Perry, the Hall???s President/Executive Director, said in a release. ???On behalf of all of us at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Jim???s family."
Calling hours will be held at Rupell Funeral Home in Phillipsburg, NJ. Final funeral arrangements are pending.

Pineal Tumors Topic Guide
Pineal Tumors: Benign and malignant tumors that arise in the region of the pineal gland are termed "pineal tumors." There are three common types of pineal tumors; 1) gliomas; 2) germ cell tumors; 3) pineal cell tumors. The cause for pineal tumors is not known. Symptoms of pineal tumors include hydrocephalus, headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, visual changes, or memory disturbances. Treatment of pineal tumors depends on the location and can include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
Brain Cancer Brain cancer may develop in primary brain cells, in cells that form other brain components, or from the growth of cancer cells in other parts of the body that have spread to the brain. Symptoms include headache, seizures, weakness, and nausea and vomiting. Treatment depends upon the patient's age, overall health, and the size, type, location, and grade of the tumor.

Live to laugh =)
I am a very laid back girl. I love to hang with close friends and family, watch movies or a game and crack jokes. I also love to go camping, go to bars on occasion, go on roadtrips, and stay in hotels out of town. I am 5'8 with long cherry auburn hair, fair skin and voluptuous. I am here to meet someone serious about love. I have been hurt pretty bad in the past, emotionally.I work and go to school and babysit my adorable niece. I don't really go out to "crazy parties" that much anymore but I like to go to out or to friends houses where people are close to me!! I am told I am too nice sometimes which can make me gulible but not to be fooled I am a pretty smart girl. I have been single for a pretty long time and it would be nice to find a real man to sweep me off my feet. I really don't have a specific type... I know I usually like bigger guys, just cause I am tall and I like to feel safe in a guys arms. I want a funny, nice, down to earth guy. I want a guy who has his head on his shoulders and doesn't want to play relationship games. Someone that can be gentle sometimes but take charge of a situation when he needs to! I want a guy who is turned on by voluptous women. And I want a guy who knows how to treat a woman right. I think it is important for a guy to love and respect his mother.. that has alot to do with how he will treat a woman in a relationship.

Some other viewpoint
I have a few local spots that are regulars of mine but mostly party at friends houses. I love to go camping anywhere that is not freezing cold.I have always wanted to go to NY. My couch or bed are often favorite hot spots for me. haha
I have a love for fashion..jewelry, make-up, clothes! I work at a salon. I also live for music. I wish I were talented enough to play an instrument but I really enjoy listening to all types of music.I love cooking!
I really like to spend time with friends and people that I love! I like to go camping and travel. I like to just have a good time and I try to enjoy life as much as I can! Going out for a bite to eat with friends or a drink. Or just chill at home.

Geographic Range
Red foxes are found throughout much of the northern hemisphere from the Arctic circle to Central America, the steppes of central Asia, and northern Africa. This species has the widest distribution of any canid. Red foxes have also been introduced to Australia and the Falkland Islands. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)
- Biogeographic Regions
- nearctic
- palearctic
- neotropical
- australian
- Other Geographic Terms
- holarctic
Red foxes utilize a wide range of habitats including forest, tundra, prairie, desert, mountains, farmlands, and urban areas. They prefer mixed vegetation communities, such as edge habitats and mixed scrub and woodland. They are found from sea level to 4500 meters elevation. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)

Physical Description
Coloration of red foxes ranges from pale yellowish red to deep reddish brown on the upper parts and white, ashy or slaty on the underside. The lower part of the legs is usually black and the tail usually has a white or black tip. Two color variants commonly occur. Cross foxes have reddish brown fur with a black stripe down the back and another across the shoulders. Silver foxes range from strong silver to nearly black and are the most prized by furriers. These variants are about 25% and 10% of red fox individuals, respectively. Red foxes, like many other canid species, have tail glands. In Vulpes vulpes this gland is located 75 mm above the root of the tail on its upper surface and lies within the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The eyes of mature animals are yellow. The nose is dark brown or black. The dental formula is 3/3 1/1 4/4 2/3. The tooth row is more than half the length of the skull. The premolars are simple and pointed, with the exception of upper fourth premolars, the carnassials. Molar structure emphasizes crushing. The manus has 5 claws and the pes 4 claws. The first digit, or dew claw, is rudimentary but clawed and does not contact the ground. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)
Red foxes are the largest of the Vulpes species. Head and body length ranges from 455 to 900 mm, tail length from 300 to 555 mm, and weight from 3 to 14 kg. Males are slightly larger than females. Populations in southern deserts and in North America are smaller than European populations. Body mass and length among populations also varies with latitude (being larger in the north, according to Bergmann's rule). (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)

Red fox mating behavior varies substantially. Often males and females are monogamous, but males with multiple female mates are also know, as are male/female pairs that use non-breeding female helpers in raising their young. Females mated to the same male fox may share a den. Red fox groups always have only one breeding male, but that male may also seek mating outside of the group. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)
- Mating System
- monogamous
- polygynous
- cooperative breeder
The annual estrous period of female red foxes last from 1 to 6 days. Ovulation is spontaneous and does not require copulation to occur. The exact time of estrous and breeding varies across the broad geographic range of the species: December-January in the south, January-February in the central regions, and February-April in the north. Males will fight during the breeding season. Males have a cycle of fecundity, with full spermatogenesis only occurring from November to March. Females may mate with a number of males but will establish a partnership with only one male. Copulation usually lasts 15 or 20 minutes and is often accompanied by a vocal clamor. Implantation of the fertilized egg occurs between 10 and 14 days after a successful mating. Just before and for a time after giving birth the female remains in or around the den. The male partner will provision his mate with food but does not go into the maternity den. Gestation is typically between 51 and 53 days but can be as short as 49 days or as long as 56 days. Litters vary in size from 1 to 13 pups with an average of 5. Birth weight is between 50 and 150 g. The pups are born blind but open their eyes 9 to 14 days after birth. Pups leave the den 4 or 5 weeks after birth and are fully weaned by 8 to 10 weeks. Mother and pups remain together until the autumn after the birth. Sexual maturity is reached by 10 months.

Red fox males and females, and sometimes their older offspring, cooperate to care for the pups. Young remain in the den for 4 to 5 weeks, where they are cared for and nursed by their mother. They are nursed for 56 to 70 days and are provided with solid food by their parents and older siblings. The young remain with their parents at least until the fall of the year they were born in and will sometimes remain longer, especially females.

Red foxes are solitary animals and do not form packs like wolves. During some parts of the year adjacent ranges may overlap somewhat, but parts may be regularly defended. In other words, Vulpes vulpes is at least partly territorial. Ranges are occupied by an adult male and one or two adult females with their associated young. Individuals and family groups have main earthen dens and often other emergency burrows in the home range. Dens of other animals, such as rabbits or marmots, are often taken over by foxes. Larger dens may be dug and used during the winter and during birth and rearing of the young. The same den is often used over a number of generations. Pathways throughout the home range connect the main den with other resting sites, favored hunting grounds and food storage areas. Red foxes are terrestrial and either nocturnal or crepuscular. Top speed is about 48 km/h and obstacles as high as 2 m can be lept. In the autumn following birth, the pups of the litter will disperse to their own territories. Dispersal can be to areas as nearby as 10 km and as far away as almost 400 km. Animals remain in the same home range for life.

Home Range
Individual adults have home ranges that vary in size depending on the quality of the habitat. In good areas ranges may be between 5 and 12 square kilometers; in poorer habitats ranges are larger, between 20 and 50 square kilometers.
Communication and Perception
Red foxes use a variety of vocalizations to communicate among themselves. They also use facial expressions and scent marking extensively. Scent marking is through urine, feces, anal sac secretions, the supracaudal gland, and glands around the lips, jaw, and the pads of the feet. There have been 28 different kinds of vocalizations described in red foxes and individuals have voices that can be distinguished. Vocalizations are used to communicate with foxes that are both nearby and very fary away. Red foxes have excellent senses of vision, smell, and touch. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)
- Other Communication Modes
- scent marks
Food Habits
Red foxes are essentially omnivores. They mostly eat rodents, eastern cottontail rabbits, insects, and fruit. They will also eat carrion. Red foxes also store food and are very good at relocating these caches. Red foxes have a characteristic manner of hunting mice. The fox stands motionless, listening and watching intently for a mouse it has detected. It then leaps high and brings the forelimbs straight down forcibly to pin the mouse to the ground. They eat between 0.5 and 1 kg of food each day.

- stores or caches food
Most red foxes that are taken by natural predators are young pups. Pups are kept in and near a den and protected by their family to avoid this. Adult red foxes may also be attacked by coyotes, wolves, or other predators, but this is rarely in order to eat them. The most significant predators on red foxes are humans, who hunt foxes for their fur and kill them in large numbers as pests.
- Known Predators
- eagles (Accipitridae)
- coyotes (Canis latrans)
- gray wolves (Canis lupus)
- bears (Ursidae)
- mountain lions (Puma concolor)
- humans (Homo sapiens)
Ecosystem Roles
Red foxes help to control populations of their prey animals, such as rodents and rabbits. They also may disperse seeds by eating fruit.
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Red foxes are important fur bearers and more are raised on farms than any other wild fur bearing mammal. Red foxes also help to control populations of small rodents and rabbits and may disperse seeds. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)
- Positive Impacts
- body parts are source of valuable material
- controls pest population
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Red foxes are considered by many to be threats to poultry. In general, foxes hunt their natural prey, but individual foxes may learn to target domestic birds if they are not adequately protected. Foxes are known vectors for rabies and can transmit the disease to humans and other animals.
- Negative Impacts
injures humans
- carries human disease
- causes or carries domestic animal disease
Conservation Status
Three subspecies are listed in CITES appendix III. Overall, red fox populations are stable and they have expanded their range in response to human changes in habitats. (MacDonald and Reynolds, 2005)
- IUCN Red List
Least Concern

- Australian
Living in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, New Guinea and associated islands.
- Nearctic
living in the Nearctic biogeographic province, the northern part of the New World. This includes Greenland, the Canadian Arctic islands, and all of the North American as far south as the highlands of central Mexico.
- Neotropical
living in the southern part of the New World. In other words, Central and South America.
- Palearctic
living in the northern part of the Old World. In otherwords, Europe and Asia and northern Africa.
- acoustic
uses sound to communicate
- agricultural
living in landscapes dominated by human agriculture.
- altricial
young are born in a relatively underdeveloped state; they are unable to feed or care for themselves or locomote independently for a period of time after birth/hatching. In birds, naked and helpless after hatching.
- bilateral symmetry
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Synapomorphy of the Bilateria.
- carrion
flesh of dead animals.
- causes or carries domestic animal disease
either directly causes, or indirectly transmits, a disease to a domestic animal
- chaparral
Found in coastal areas between 30 and 40 degrees latitude, in areas with a Mediterranean climate. Vegetation is dominated by stands of dense, spiny shrubs with tough (hard or waxy) evergreen leaves. May be maintained by periodic fire. In South America it includes the scrub ecotone between forest and paramo.
- chemical
uses smells or other chemicals to communicate
- cooperative breeder
helpers provide assistance in raising young that are not their own
- crepuscular
active at dawn and dusk
- desert or dunes
in deserts low (less than 30 cm per year) and unpredictable rainfall results in landscapes dominated by plants and animals adapted to aridity. Vegetation is typically sparse, though spectacular blooms may occur following rain. Deserts can be cold or warm and daily temperates typically fluctuate. In dune areas vegetation is also sparse and conditions are dry. This is because sand does not hold water well so little is available to plants. In dunes near seas and oceans this is compounded by the influence of salt in the air and soil. Salt limits the ability of plants to take up water through their roots.
- endothermic
animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature. Endothermy is a synapomorphy of the Mammalia, although it may have arisen in a (now extinct) synapsid ancestor; the fossil record does not distinguish these possibilities. Convergent in birds.

Posted: Jan. 24, 2011 The Philadelphia 76ers finished last season with one of the worst home records in the NBA. A much improved defense has helped them turn that around. Philadelphia will look to win its fourth straight at home and sweep a season series from the Suns for the first time in nine years Monday night. After road losses to Orlando and Charlotte by a combined four points, the 76ers (18-25) returned home to defeat Utah 96-85 on Saturday night. Philadelphia held the Jazz to 42.0 percent shooting and improved to 13-7 at Wells Fargo Center - surpassing its 12 home victories from 2009-10. "We've been playing strong on the road, we just haven't finished," said Elton Brand, who had 19 points. "There's a lot of pressure on us to come home and win, which we've been doing."

Need Help with Licensing
I was working on a music video set and did some sketches in a sketchbook that came to mind as the music played. I am friends with the director, and he showed the label, now the label wants to license my work. I have been reading online for HOURS about the do's and don't of license agreements, so I feel fairly well informed in the nuances of reproduction versus copyright, sublicensing, etc. But nowhere does it mention anywhere some ballpark figures for the actual MONETARY value for this sort of thing. I need some $$$ figures...
My guess is my sketches will go on stickers, shirts, and other low-end merch for the band. So not a CD cover or anything. Anyone have any experience dealing with this who can help?
thanks a bunch

Start with the stickied threads in here. Beginners always seem to ask for too little, so be sure to round upward if you get my drift.

Theres a lot more to the whole Bowe Lewis thing than a lot of people think. Bowe was really not the scared type. There was a lot of politics around this time with King and HBO.
While Newman was a star of the highlight films for those matches, he was busy fighting larger battles in boxing's corridors of power. A year ago, with Mike Tyson off to jail and everyone jockeying to get a shot at heavyweight champion Holy-field, Newman says that WBC president José Sulaimán quietly urged him to retain Don King as his promoter. "Don is the best," Sulaimán, a longtime King ally, told him. "He's made the most money for fighters." Having come so far with Bowe, Newman said no. "Why should I work with King or anyone else?" he said. The WBC's answer came in February 1992, when its ratings committee, in a split vote, leapfrogged Razor Ruddock, a King fighter who had lost twice to Tyson, ahead of Bowe in its rankings. Newman says the move deprived Bowe of a guaranteed shot at the title. Newman called Sulaimán and said, "You are a dirty, no-good! You forced Rid**** out because I would not do business with Don King." Sulaimán denied this vehemently, but Newman promised revenge. He eventually got it at that garbage can in London, vowing that Bowe would never fight Lewis as long as Lewis wore the WBC belt.
Bowe has had nearly 20 years to address the accusation of his cowardly ducking and what does he say??? Zip. Nothing Nada! It doesnt even get a mention in any interviews he does - You would think it would be the first thing he would want putting straight.
But his actions or lack of actions, speak as loudly as throwing a belt in the garbage rather than fight did.
Bowe attracts the type of followers, who would follow David Haye if he was American. Someone to bestow greatness on without actually doing anything of substance.
Bowe is the grandaddy of all the ducking fighters today - a precident for the fan boys who have decided they like a boxer and so imagine greatness on them of what they coulda woulda done, but actually coulda but didnt and ran from the chance to.

Other celebrities hope a lower upfront fee--usually in the low six figures--will net them more in the end, as they also get a percentage (usually 5 percent to 10 percent) of royalties on wholesale earnings.
Actress Halle Berry and country singer Faith Hill last year partnered with fragrance giant Coty to brand their own scents. If they are lucky, the fragrances might sell as well as Britney Spears' did, netting $1 billion in retail sales since her Elizabeth Arden-partnered line (including Curious, Fantasy and Believe) launched in 2004.
Of course, lucrative opportunities go way beyond perfume. Last year, Colombian singer Shakira jumped on concert promoter Live Nation's gravy train, inking an estimated $70 to $100 million 10-year deal.
The concert promoter (which also represents U2, Jay-Z and Nickelback) last year signed Madonna for a reported $120 million, although Live Nation will not confirm numbers for anyone. The Shakira and Madonna deals mean that Live Nation will negotiate everything from albums to merchandising, whether a concert T-shirt or a cosmetics ad, as well as sponsoring concerts. (The company operates 150 venues in 33 countries.)
"Shakira is one of the few truly global artists," says Jason Garner, global music chief of Live Nation. "She can sell music and tickets in nearly in every corner of the globe."
Clothing is another way to bring in the big bucks. Sheryl Crow, Mandy Moore, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham and Madonna all launched their own lines over the past two years.
But few can beat Jessica Simpson for her well-timed and well-executed rise to merchandising moguldom. In 2005, before being dragged down by "mom jeans" and mediocre album sales, Simpson sold the master license to her apparel/clothing brand--the right to market her name worldwide--to the Camuto Group for a reported $15 million. Camuto, which also manufactures and markets the BCBG Max Azaria, Tory Burch and Nicole Miller labels, is known for its surprisingly well-made and chicly designed goods sold at a moderate price point.
The Jessica Simpson Collection rolled out slowly with shoes, averaging $90 at retail, mostly sold through Macy's. That was a huge success--so the line expanded into categories including handbags, sunglasses and jewelry. In 2008, Simpson's products raked in $300 million wholesale, which means that the blond bombshell, who gets royalties once she earns back her reported $15 million advance, would have broken even last year--and everything from that day forward will be more in her pocket.
Of course, there's an almost unlimited array of business deals a celebrity can cash in on--50 Cent and Jennifer Aniston made millions with water (VitaminWater and SmartWater, respectively); Robert DeNiro, Justin Timberlake and Sandra Bullock all have successful restaurants.
But that doesn't mean everything a star touches turns to gold--while the public may want to smell like Britney Spears' perfumes, it doesn't want to eat what she cooks up--her New York City-based Southern-inspired restaurant NYLA closed in 2002, a mere six months after opening.

SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE, by Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut
opens SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE, his 1969 absurdist masterpiece, with a claim about the work's veracity, versed in his trademark vernacular style: "All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true." Vonnegut fought in World War II, and was a POW in Dresden during the 1945 Allied firebombing that razed the city and left tens of thousands of civilians dead. Vonnegut's memories of his experiences there serve as the work's central point of departure. Author-as-character "Kurt Vonnegut" begins by tracing his ambivalence about undertaking such a project -- and then promptly passes the narrative baton off to an alter ego named Billy Pilgrim. Pilgrim, we learn, was also in Dresden during the firebombing; he survived the war by happening to not die in it, and returned home to start a family. Crucially, at some point he also spent time on the planet of Tralfamador, where the natives taught him to "see" time as a fourth, and distinctly nonlinear, dimension. Thereafter Billy shuttles uncontrollably from one moment of his life to another -- "and the trips aren't necessarily fun."
There is one distinct benefit, however, to life on Tralfamador: it is ruled by wholly deterministic forces that, by definition, absolve its inhabitants of any and all moral responsibility for their actions. It is a place whose ruling principle is -- in the words that will eventually mark Pilgrim's gravestone -- "Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt." So Billy returns to Earth to spread the Tralfamadorian gospel. On his office wall he tapes a copy of the Serenity Prayer ("God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference"), but as Vonnegut dryly notes, "Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future."
Vonnegut's dark humor pervades the novel, delivering a stark message about the absurdity of war and the moral bankruptcy of apathy in the face of it. Like CATCH-22, SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE takes World War II as its nominative subject, but was written and published in the midst of the Vietnam War -- and can thus be read as a comment on both history and contemporaneous events. Despite the benumbing effects of modern American institutions, which often leave citizens feeling powerless and impotent in the face of global events, Vonnegut sees a very real potential for individuals to be guided by their moral courage: "And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep."
