LeBron James Weds Savannah Brinson; John Legend Marries Chrissy Teigen
There was not one, but two star-studded A-list celebrity weddings on Saturday, Sept. 14.
Miami Heat star LeBron James married his high school sweetheart and mother of his two sons Savannah Brinson in San Diego, CA, and singer John Legend tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen in Italy.
Miami Police admit LeBron James police escort to Jay Z concert May not have been a good idea
The Miami-Dade Police Department love their resident celebrities, especially sports gods like LeBron James. So when LeBron and his lovely fiancée, Savannah, were running late for the Jay Z/Justin Timberlake concert on Friday, the MDPD sent a motorcycle officer to get them to the concert on time.
The unidentified police officer broke all types of police department policies by driving at high speed on the wrong side of the road, with lights flashing and sirens blaring, in a non-emergency situation.
We know all of this because LeBron, like most boys, was excited by the bright, flashing lights. So he filmed a 15-second Instagram video of the action and posted it on Instagram for the world to see.
The caption under the video read "They treat us so well! Needed it cause traffic was nuts!!"
Photos: Savannah Brinson's Final Bridal Shower
LeBron James' bride-to-be Savannah Brinson went home to Akron, Ohio to celebrate her last 2 months as a baby mama. Savannah is living every woman's dream — she's about to be married to the world's #1 NBA player. Lucky her!

It's been a great year for LeBron and the Miami Heat, who defeated the San Antonio Spurs to win back-to-back NBA titles earlier this year. Next up for LeBron and his lovely fiancé Savannah Brinson is a celebrity-studded wedding in San Diego in September!

Patiently written down dates, noted with a piano and carefully collected on cassette tapes, one by one. An assiduous attempt to keep books of time, to sketch the events, the landscapes and neighborhoods with melodies and recordings of sound. For several years Joel Danell has been writing songs on a piano, all given the names of dates as if they were diary notes. The kind of notes where the writing, more than the words themselves, recounts for the moment of them being written: times of accumulation where the letters stand close to each other and reach far into the margin...

"For several days the snow has
risen high with weather that has been exceptionally severe. We have
marched through the cold winter night until I can no longer feel my
feet. I fear they have frozen. Just before daybreak we are permitted
to sit down and told to eat, but since this day was not provision day,
very few have any bread to break or bite. Then orders are given and
we are sent off again..."

Raising Mexico's minimum wageAug 27, 2014
A debate has recently emerged regarding the issue of raising Mexico's minimum wage. Proponents call attention to the fact that the minimum wage is much lower than other countries in Latin America. Others fear an increase in the minimum wage would spark inflation and warn that this debate is used as a distraction from the real issue of increasing productivity.
Mexico's Energy Reforms Become LawAug 15, 2014
On August 11, 2014, President Peña Nieto signed into law the 21 component parts of a comprehensive energy reform. Eight months after introducing constitutional amendments to radically transform Mexico's hydrocarbon and electricity sectors, private investors and Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) can leave the starting gate. Read the latest article by Diana Negroponte, a member of Mexico Institute's Advisory Council
Mexico's Energy Reform: The TimelineAug 14, 2014
The Mexico Institute charts the course of the energy reform beginning in 2012, when Enrique Peña Nieto, then-Candidate for the Mexican Presidency, made the commitment to reform the energy sector by 2015. The end goal of this reform is to make the energy industry more competitive and to drive Mexico's economic growth
Mexico's Energy Reform: entering the final phaseAug 13, 2014
On Monday August 11, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto enacted the secondary legislation of the energy reform, composed of 9 new laws and amendments to 12 existing ones. With this action, a new chapter in the economic development of Mexico begins in which the private sector will be allowed to invest in various areas related to the exploration for and exploitation of natural resources such as oil and gas.
Energy Reform SeriesAug 13, 2014
On August 11, 2015, President Enrique Peña Nieto enacted the secondary legislation of the energy reform. With this series, the Mexico Institute seeks to provide analysis for understanding the new energy reforms and their implications for economic development in Mexico.
Energy Reform and DemocracyAug 13, 2014
Despite its technical complexity and the political differences associated with the energy reform, the process that has been carried out to materialize it is unprecedented in Mexico. The constitutional reform, absolutely necessary to detonate real and profound change, achieved its goal, but it unfortunately left pending the "pulling out" of Pemex and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) from the Expenditure Budget of the Federation (PEF), which would have taken away the regulatory and normative straightjacket that represents a competitive disadvantage.
Mexico Ascendant: How to Grow Cross-Border TradeAug 05, 2014
Mexico Ascendant: How to Grow Cross-Border Trade, is one of several conferences in The Economist's "Trade Horizons" series and will examine how US companies can best leverage the $507 billion import-export market with Mexico.
Unaccompanied Migrant Children: The Tip of the IcebergAug 04, 2014
President Barack Obama has said that the huge number of unaccompanied children who are coming to the United States from Central America represents an urgent humanitarian situation. He is right; the suffering of tens of thousands of children is unthinkable. The humanitarian crisis that President Obama refers to is, however, only the tip of the iceberg of what has been happening in this corridor of intense migration - Central America (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador), Mexico and the United States - over the past two decades.
Op-ed: Use Brains, not Brawn, to Handle Migrant CrisisJul 14, 2014
"It is important to note that adding more boots on the ground would do little or nothing to stem the flow of children across the border. The real solutions lie in addressing the push factors in the source countries," writes Christopher Wilson and Eric Olson.
Jane Harman on the Violence in Gaza and the Immigration CrisisJul 14, 2014
Director Jane Harman discusses the escalating violence between Israel and the Palestinians and the immigration crisis on CBS News' Talk of the Nation with Gerald Seib, Danielle Pletka, and Nia-Malika Henderson.

Download Tools Needed Floor Jack Jack Stands 13mm socket 16mm socket 17mm socket 16mm wrench 17mm wrench 10mm wrench Ratchet Blue loctite (optional) Step 1 Raise the car and secure it with jack stands. Never work under a car supported only by a hydraulic floor jack. Check your owner's manual for proper placement of floor jacks and jack stands. Step 2 Identify the transmission mount. Some cars will have 1 while most will have 2. They are located just outboard from the transmission near the drive axles. Step 3 Carefully use a floor jack to support the transmission in position and prevent it from shifting positions. Step 4 Using a 13mm socket, remove the 2 side bolts. Depending on your specific model, there may be a heat shield around the mount which will need to be moved. These heat shields are held in place with small bolts, and can be removed with a 10mm wrench. With the heat shields moved out of the way, using a 16mm socket and wrench, remove the main center bolt and nut. Step 5 With the center bolt removed, use the floor jack and gently lift the transmission until the mount is free to slide out. Step 6 Make sure the Stern mount is assembled as shown below, then position it in place of the original mount. The supplied large round zinc plate will rest on top of the polyurethane. Reuse the factory washer on top of the transmission bracket and lightly fasten the center bolt to the transmission mount. You can now remove the support under the transmission. Apply loctite to the smaller flange bolts and tighten then to 25Nm (18ft-lb). Step 7 Once you have the mount loosely fitted, start the vehicle and let the car idle momentarily. After shutting the car off, tighten the main center bolt of the transmission mount to 45Nm (33ft-lb). If you're installing 2 mounts on the vehicle, it's recommended that you install both mounts together at the same time. Congratulations on completing the installation!

When should someone seek medical treatment for an ingrown toenail?
Persons with diabetes or those who have a compromised immune system should promptly seek the care of a podiatrist/physician for ingrown toenail treatment. If home treatments are not successful within a week or there is persistent pain and/or signs of infection, podiatric medical treatment is recommended. Signs of infection can include swelling, redness, streaking, pain, and drainage that may be yellow, green, or white and purulent (containing pus).
What kind of doctor treats ingrown toenails?
Although many types of doctors, including family physicians, pediatricians, urgent care walk-in physicians, and dermatologists, can treat ingrown toenails, podiatrists are uniquely qualified among the medical professionals to treat this condition.
What is the treatment for ingrown toenails?
There are various types of treatments, including self-care, soaking, avoidance of shoe pressure on the toenails, proper methods to trim the nails, and various surgical treatments. Sometimes antibiotics may be required.
What types of nail surgery are used for ingrown toenails?
Surgical treatments include the following: temporary section of the offending nail border or corner, avulsion (detachment) of the nail or offending nail border, or permanent elimination of the nail (matrixectomy) or offending nail border (partial matrixectomy). A matrixectomy is the destruction or removal the cells where the nail grows from called the nail matrix. The nail matrix is at the base of the toenail under the skin. This procedure can be done surgically by dissection, chemically, or electrically by destroying part or all of the matrix cells. These procedures are commonly reserved for chronic or recurrent situations.
Is surgery really necessary?
If conservative treatments fail, surgery to remove the offending nail border is recommended. If the condition is recurrent and/or chronic, a matrixectomy may be recommended.

There is a lot going on in the one photo above. Lots to take in and lots to discuss. But the reason I took this picture was to show a few key points.
1). The scrap tile at the back is to help square up the side tiles with the bottom.
2). On the right the thin-set is very thick. I oversized this niche and to make sure the thin-set does not shrink I used thick bed thin-set. The white stuff is Ardex X32
3). There is a slight grade from the back of the niche to the front
The dark material is Ardex 8+9 waterproofing.
Building a better shampoo niche takes time and skill. There are so many ways to do this and so many ways to screw it up badly.
The reason the posts on my similar discussion on Terry Love's Forum and many hundreds more are gone is all the indirect act of me trying to build a better shower niche - the testing I did - the failure of these tests and the resulting call from the manufacture of the niches I tested.
So how do you build a better shampoo niche? Easy.
You need to max out space for most shower niches. Or you will want to. So at some point you need to decide if you are going to tile and waterproof the back side of the wall where the niche is going to go or add in a layer of 1/4" cement board. The later is stronger and safer....
Typically the largest a shower niche can be is the width of the wall framing plus 1/4". With a 2"x4" wall this equals 3 3/4". With a 2"x6" wall this equals 5 3/4".
Layout of the niche is critical to the over all design. This is why we design the tile layout before we even do the framing upgrades.
Tile layout and lighting layout should be done first - at the very beginning.
Have a look at this shower niche...
The niche is three full tile width's tall. One full tile width wide. Has a down light LED feature. A glass shelf so the lady's razor and soap can fit below and the shampoo and conditioner bottles can fit above.
Looks simple. Looks easy. But this was the result of careful planning and tile layout from the very beginning.
We opened up a hole in this bathroom's ceiling to inspect the framing of this wall. We found the wall to be nothing more than a part ion wall so moving wall studs around was easy and required no engineer.
No look again at the picture. See how the niche is right in the corner. The wall actually runs right to the back of the niche. In order to do this a little repair to the homes vapour barrier and a little chopping out of a wall stud are required. Again easy but these steps need to be planned from the very beginning.
I'm going to pull out my shower niche photos, my niche illustrations and upload a load more pictures. Most will be secured behind the password albums but this discussion will include more as well.
Photo's of Shower Niches Designed by John Whipple
Photo's of Shower Niches Designed by John Whipple
If the shower is getting steam then plan on using NobleSeal TS as your vapour proofing material.
Not quite perfect.
Recommend Fix
The fix !!!
The little step back on the back wall is for the future resting place of some 1/2" shower glass. Four shelves will be placed in this niche soon.

|Bumgarner Comes Away Empty

|Tuesday, 31 July 2012 09:55
Madison Bumgarner pitched well enough to win Tuesday night against the New York Mets. But the left hander was well gone when the issue was settled. The San Francisco Giants rallied from a 6-4 deficit with two runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game. But the Mets prevailed 8-7 in ten innings. Bumgarner put up some great numbers, despite the
San Francisco loss. He went six inning, gave up two earned runs on six hits with two walks and nine strikeouts. On the year, Bumgarner is 11-6 with a 3.09 earned-run-average with 130 strikeouts in 142.2 innings pitched.

Daniel Taylor Little, chief football writer for The Guardian newspaper and Nottingham Forest fan, tweeted: "Update on John Robertson's heart scare: recovering well, a stent's been inserted, but he's described as 'fine'".
Steve Wright tweeted: "Been away for a week, return to hear John Robertson has had a heart attack. Get well soon, Robbo."
Jim Lawn tweeted: "Very sorry to hear that dear friend John Robertson suffered a heart attack. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Robbo."
Mr Robertson played a huge part in Forest's back-to-back European Cup triumphs in 1979 and 1980.
He then moved to Derby County in 1983 in a transfer which saw him appear 85 times for the Rams but only scoring on four occasions.
The transfer was seen as the catalyst for the breakdown of the relationship between Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.
In his auto-biography "Super Tramp", Robertson believed he was just the "straw that broke the camel's back.
He said: "I'm convinced there were other factors in the break-up but it was my move to Derby that was put forward as the popular reason."

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- British Airways Plc IAG, +0.63% BAB, +0.00% Europe's third-largest airline, on Friday said third-quarter net profit fell 12% to 103 million pounds ($203 million), or 8.9 pence a share, from 117 million pounds, or 10.3 pence a share, a year earlier. Sales slipped 0.5% to 2.07 billion pounds, hurt by a raft of external factors including the continued impact of new security measures introduced after the foiled terrorist attacks this summer and the severe fog that led to the cancellation of 800 flights in December. BA estimated the impact of these factors at about 40 million pounds. Looking to the fourth quarter, BA said its revenue outlook had been hit by the threat of strikes from the cabin crew branch of the T&G union. While the strike was averted, the airline said it caused a revenue loss of about 80 million pounds. BA said it now forecasts annual revenue growth of 3.25% to 3.75%. The airline also said it expects costs excluding fuel to be 50 million pounds higher than in 2005 due to higher costs in the first quarter. Finally BA said it sees its annual fuel bill at 1.95 billion pounds.

The Warriorswww
The Warriors from Rockstar
This is one of those movie crossovers, in which a million things could go wrong, however, in the hands of Rockstar can we expect anything less than hours of exhilarating game play?
The Warriors definitely meets the requirements of an awesome game. The fight system is a work of art, with players able to control an entire gang within, what seem to be, a standard 3rd person set up. The action is fast paced, with raids, chases, stealth and it's innovative gang wars, and if that wasn't enough, there are a wide variety of extra modes too to keep you entertained. Of course, plenty of the gangs from the movie make an appearance, such as the Baseball Furies, the Hi-Hats and the Riffs.
The original cast does many of the voiceovers,
the soundtrack is also superb. The sounds are very realistic, with
cracking bones and sickening thuds rivalling that of Manhunt. This
is definitely worth your buy, one of Rockstar's greatest!

City of Villains
"this time you're on the side of evil"
This is the standalone sequel to the MMORPG City of heroes, and with both games added together for player vs player battling, hours of fun ensue. For anyone who has played city of heroes, not a lot has changed. You can still create your own character from scratch which includes costumes and powers!
When you have created your character you can then go out and fight numerous amounts of enemies, from low-level humans, to creatures much more sinister. However, this time you're on the side of evil, and with a whole array of powers, extra city zones, the ability to build your own evil lairs and missions involving all acts of villainy including kidnapping, the experience will be very different.
For veteran City of hero players, this will add a lot more to the experience, with both games working together, by allowing players from both different games to fight, you can really get a feel into the villainy. However, with no major graphical improvements, no major improvements to the usually slow gaming and the somewhat, slow paced action, this really isn't worth a look into unless you're already a fan of the previous game, (unless RPG's/superheroes are your thing!).Review by Ryanblade
Call of Duty 2
"something of epic proportions"
This hard-hitting sequel delivers everything it says on the tin. For anyone out there looking for a gritty, realistic war game are in for a treat. With a market already flooded with ww2 games, it is hard to find one that really hits the nail on the head. Call of Duty 2 however, does just that.
This first person shooter will throw you behind the gun once more in a highly detailed, graphically awe-inspiring battlefield. The sounds are amazing, from grittily realistic sounds blasting from the muzzle of the guns, to the echo of the bombs being dropped all over the highly detailed levels. The enemies have a much more aggressive AI, making each one a formidable foe.
The real winning factor of the game, however, is the feeling of being part of something much too big to imagine, something of epic proportions. There aren't many games on the market that realise this feeling, which is a great shame. There aren't many negative aspects to this game, other than the fact that not much has really changed since its predecessor.Review by Ryanblade 19

The Chicago game made the Knicks look like an absolute mess.

Gary Winogrand had a huge delay between exposing a roll of film and looking at the contact sheet. I think the delay was something like at least three months or so. Anyways, IIRC, he said that he did it to look at the images objectively, that he wouldn't be tied to what he thought they would be, because he couldn't remember them. The images became something that had been done by someone else.
Batwister, perhaps you need to do the same thing. Shove the return from the lab in a drawer for at least six months, and then you won't feel attached to it. I started off with a Pentax 6x7 myself, so I know what that camera is like. You might try removing the viewfinder, and just cup your hands around the glass to see the whole frame.

Eye Candy: 7 Neutral Interiors With High-Impact Art!
Just because your walls and furniture are Neutral City, USA doesn't mean you can't bring color in! My favorite way to do that is through big, bright, high-impact art. Here are a few spaces that do that well--and with some serious flair.
1. Rich, natural-wood walls and furniture mix well with white accents... and provide the perfect canvas for large works of colorful art! See more of this space on RedneckModern.
2. This Swiss house, full of neutral greys, whites, and warm woods, is the perfect backdrop to a colorful work of art! Take a closer look on Bo Bedre.
3. Low-hung art subs quite nicely for a headboard, don't you think? See more of this home on The Design Files.
4. This New York home, though mostly full of blue-greys and whites (and lots of wood), brings in pops of color in a few charming little corners. Take a gander over on The Selby.
5. I don't know what that log is doing in the middle of the floor, but that painting is totally doing it for me. Check out the house tour on Design*Sponge.
6. Historic flourishes and clean, modern pieces mix perfectly with this neon-hued painting. See more on This Is Paper.
7. *EXTREME EXAMPLE WARNING* This takes guts. And a dose of insanity. Check it out on The Big Addict.

Another post after an extended period of absence on my part, not only because I've been camping for 5 days and studying for tests and playing lots of games I've already written about but also because I'm working on getting a new URL, one that's not ugly and lengthy and altogether stupid.

New Game Review: Torchlight II
Torchlight wasn't, by any stretch of the imagination, a revolutionary game. Nothing really new was added to the dungeon crawler genre (which has been dominated by Diablo for the past 10 some-odd years), and many people skipped it. Luckily, I wasn't one of those people. I like me a good RPG, and Torchlight definitely was that. What it lacked in story and non-linearity it made up for with good, solid gameplay, customization, and various elements that made it really fun to play. I've been waiting for Torchlight II for a little over 2 years, and it was definitely worth the wait.
Gameplay: Torchlight 2 is a dungeon crawler in the strictest sense of the phrase. And, in essence, most dungeon crawlers are pretty much the same. But that's all right, since besides Torchlight and Diablo, there are really not many of them out there. A dungeon crawler is in essence an action RPG with heavy customization. There's weapons to pick up, various items to use, spells, leveling up stats, enchanting and socketing items, looting caves, fighting bosses, etc. Torchlight 2 does little to stray from the norm, but that's not bad. Not at all, in fact. Torchlight 2 features 4 classes at the start, each with different strengths and abilities, as well as their own skill trees to level up. I went with the pistol-packing Outlander, as I often like fighting from a range. As you make your way through the game (which is played almost exclusively with the mouse), you will fight all kinds of monsters over a variety of areas. As you fight, you'll gain experience and level up. Each time you gain a level, you'll get a point to spend on upgrading one of the skills available to your class, as well as five points to spend on upgrading your four base stats. When you defeat monsters or find chests, you'll have access to a myriad of weaponry, only some of which your class will be able to use. Some of them will need to be identified, which will require the use of an identify scroll, and some will require a certain level or level of a stat. In addition to these basics, you have a pet, as with the other game. Your pet can be one of six species, and will fight alongside you, as well as be sent back to town to sell the things in its inventory for you. In Torchlight 2, the pets can be taught spells, given equipment, and be told to buy you certain things from town. All of this is awesome, and works great.
None of the mechanics bother me about this game. As you play through the quests (of which there are tons more than the first) and through the towns and dungeons (again, more than the first) the monsters you fight, rewards you get, and equipment you find level with you to create a challenge at all times. Various abilities can be assigned to a hotbar at the bottom, like spells you've learned, special items you can use, and abilities you gain by leveling up. There are many different types of monsters you'll encounter, and numerous ways and strategies of getting rid of them. Though attacking repeatedly works well. The game also has a multiplayer feature, but, try as I might, I can't find any servers with people that want to play and none of my friends have gotten the game, so I haven't gotten to try it. Other than that, though, there's really nothing bad I can say about this section. 95.
Story: Torchlight 2 features a much more heavy focus on story than its predecessor. Though that's not saying too much. Torchlight 2 features the Alchemist from the previous title as the main villain of the story. Your character has to defeat him. Not much else to it, really, but it gets the job done with some pretty nice looking cutscenes. 80.
Graphics: Torchlight 2 vastly improved the graphics of the original. It uses cartoon elements reminiscent of TF2 as its primary style, and one of the best things about it is that all of your equipment can be seen rather clearly, and management of several menus at once can be done without ever taking you out of the action. While it is better than the original, it's still a $20 game, and while everything looks great far away, when you zoom in you can see that there's a surprisingly low polygon count, which is slightly disappointing. Overall, though, it's a good looking game. 80.
Sound: The music in T2 is really nice, with mostly ambient tones and some catchy classically styled music at certain segments. The effects are good, with various weaponry and enemies making relatively varied and different sounds. The voice acting is fairly sub-par, but it serves its purpose. 87.
Torchlight 2 is a great game. It's fun, immersive, and on top of that fairly addictive. If you're a fan of dungeon crawlers, this game is a must-have. If you like Action RPGs, it's worth a look. 85%
New Game Review: Kirby's Dream Collection
As you may remember from Kirby Week last year, I'm a big fan of Kirby games. I've enjoyed every one I've played, and since this year is his 20th anniversary, Nintendo released a great compilation set with some of his best work. I'll do a quick review now of everything Kirby's Dream Collection has in store.
Kirby's Dream Collection comes in a small package but contains some pretty nifty stuff. First, the game itself. The Kirby's Dream Collection game disc comes with some pretty fun bonus levels for Kirby's Return to Dreamland, a neat area filled with, among other things, music, history lessons on ever Kirby game to date, and 3 episodes of the official cartoon, Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (You better get it with a money-back guarantee!), which was actually surprisingly good. In addition to these is the main meat of the disc: six of the best Kirby games of all time (without Air Ride. Am I the only one that liked that game?). This list includes the original game, Kirby's Dream Land from the Gameboy, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and, one of my personal favorites, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. These games can be played with the Classic Controller (which I don't have), the Wiimote, or the Gamecube controller. While some of the translations to the controllers of today were rather clunky (they button scheme on the SNES is different than that of the Gamecube), I'm pleased with the visuals and audio, as well as the fact that the games with available multiplayer actually retain the functionality. The games all are a blast to play and great for any classic Kirby fan. Super Star and Crystal Shards are still comparable to some of today's games! Along with the game disc came a CD with a whopping 45 tracks from various Kirby games, most of which any Kirby fan will recognize, and they're a blast to listen to. Some classically oriented, some more electric, and some dramatic, they're all great to listen to, particularly some of the more recent ones. Last in the box is a nearly 50-page history of Kirby rife with information, concept art, and fun stuff about the pink puff.
Overall: While the book and CD may appeal more to the bigger Kirby fans like myself, the game disc is great, even if you're not necessarily familiar with Kirby. It contains some of his greatest escapades, and with the whole thing being $40 it's a steal. I mean, that's the price a DS game goes for these days! Kirby's Dream Collection gets an 85% for nostalgia and awesomness. Here's to another 20 years!
Q4 Games and What I Intend to Play
Holy crap, as usual, This year's fourth quarter is going to be a stinger for wallets everywhere. If you remember back in November and December of last year, tons of titles (Skyrim, Skyward Sword, Minecraft (doesn't really count but shut up), Assassin's Creed Revelations, Batman Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Sonic Generations, etc.) hit the stores and paid a hefty toll on all of our wallets. However, here is a list of the Q4 games you don't have to worry about seeing on this blog: Borderlands 2, Call of Doody Black Ops 2, Resident Evil 6, and Halo 4 are definitely games I'm not going to worry about. But, chronologically, here are some games you'll definitely be seeing here.
September 16- Kirby's Dream Collection. It's Kirby! In a collection! And it's Kirby! I think I may have mentioned the Kirby thing already though.
September 20- Torchlight 2. I've been waiting all year for this game. Heck, even since early last year I've been waiting for this game. Its predecessor was fantastic, and this one is shaping up to be even better.
October 7- Pokemon Black and White 2- While it's true that I wasn't fond of the most recent installments in the Pokemon franchise, I'm still willing to give this near-and-dear handheld series another shot. I'd actually probably give them several more shots. They could probably target dirt and slap a Pokemon logo on it and I'd buy it.
October 20- Assassin's Creed III. This game is the reason I am playing through the first four. The more I see about it, the more I want to play it. I seriously can't wait. I mean, colonial America and assassins! What's not to like there?
November 18- Dishonored. This game looks awesome. And it's made by Bethesda. So we know it's going to be pretty darned great. As long as there are no arrow in the knee jokes.
On another note of Q4 gaming stuff: The WiiU. It's still dubious to me whether or not that system's worth buying. The controller is kind of cool, but the fact that only one (or two?) person can use it at once is a massive turnoff, considering the fact that the only thing I frequently use a Nintendo console for these days is Smash Bros. However, Pikmin 3 might make everything worth it. Might.
So that's the games you can expect reviews of in the coming months. More recent posts will include a Kirby's Dream Collection review, something about Minecraft, and perhaps if I get a chance to even get to Revelations I'll slip a review of that in here as well. Stay cheesy!
Quick Review: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
I've realized lately a few things. First, when you try to run a Minecraft server, maintain your schoolwork, and try new games to review, it really cuts out one's free time in a day. Add to that the fact that I'm not home very much because it's no longer summer and you get a really dismal amount of time spent playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I've been desperately trying to finish it so I can play Revelations before III comes out, but the odds of that happening are looking slimmer and slimmer. This is all a really long way of saying I don't think I've played enough of AC:B to give it a full review, so this will have to suffice. Enjoy it.
Brotherhood picks up exactly where 2 left off in the story of our two protagonists, Desmond Miles in the present day, and assassin and ladykiller Ezio Audtiore da Firenze in Renaissance Italy. Many of the aspects of the second game are carried over, which is good, but a couple of adjustments have been made, which are also good. One of the biggest is the new system of recruiting and using new assassins in your arsenal. About halfway through the game you'll gain the ability to recruit new citizens to be in your assassin guild, and after this you can send them on missions, level them up, upgrade their stats, and call upon them to help you out in battles. This is especially effective if you want to remain discreet; if you use the auxiliary assassins to kill targets, you won't be noticed. In addition to this, there are a whole new slew of customization options around Rome. In Brotherhood, you can invest in the purchase and renovation of buildings and shops to increase your overall income. In order to do this, you must take over and burn down a Borgia tower in the area to gain assassin power in that area. Various Borgia towers have different levels of difficulty when it comes to killing the Borgia captain of the region.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood plays exactly the same way as the other games do, specifically II. The parkour elements are still in tact and a bit smoother, the weapons, shopping and mission system are nearly identical to that of II, and most of the areas are similar as well. However, the addition of a new, larger, and main area is fresh and fun to mess with, and I really enjoyed that aspect as well. In addition to some of the new features I mentioned, there's now the ability to gain what's called full synchronization in the story missions of the game. Completing specific tasks such as finishing the mission without being seen, taking damage, under a certain amount of time, etc. will help you get close to 100%ing the game, which is what I've been trying (rather successfully, too) to do as I play.
As far as the story, graphics, and sound of the game go, they're all really good. The music and voice acting is top-notch (freakin' Roger Craig Smith!), the game looks beautiful, and the story is pretty immersing and fun to watch unfold. I like how Brotherhood gives us a sneak peak of a modern AC game in the gameplay areas where we get to play as Desmond Miles outside of the Animus. Overall, AC:B continues in the upward trend of the Assassin's Creed series, and I can't wait to play Revelations and III. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood gets a 90%.
New Header and Background!
I've changed the background image and header from the Sonic-themed, low-res set to a more Minecraft related (though still holding onto our roots, at least in the background) set. Let me know what you think of them and if you liked the old ones better! I'll be experimenting with new ways to make images for this site in the coming months to see what fits best. Any input is appreciated!

What's It Like to Work at a Scottrade Branch?As a Scottrade investment consultant, you don't give advice or recommendations. You simply provide investors great customer service. Each branch typically has one branch manager, one or two investment consultants and possibly an intern. Most of our branches are small offices, allowing you to provide truly personalized service to our customers.
A Day in the Life at a Branch
A Scottrade associate talks about why he loves working with customers in the branch, plus how he was able to transition into his current position with the help of Scottrade's Human Resources department. In a recent survey, our headquarters associates ranked "growth opportunities" as one of the Top 5 reasons to work at Scottrade. Along with Scottrade's career opportunities for internal promotions, we offer licensing programs and training catered to branch associates' growth.
Branch Locations
Our branch locations are at the heart of our customer service philosophy—giving our customers a real person to speak to any time they have questions. We have more than 500 branch locations across the U.S., including several offices with bilingual associates. This combination of service, accessibility and resources sets Scottrade apart from any other online investment firm.
Top Reasons to Work at a Scottrade Branch
The success of our branch office associates is based on the level of service you provide, not what you sell. There is no "boiler room" atmosphere with cold calls or pushing clients toward products you don't believe in.
- Every investor gets the same level of service, no matter how much or little they invest.
- With only one branch manager and one or two investment consultants and an intern, it's an opportunity to get to know, and better serve, customers.
- Without complicated pricing structures, you can focus on providing investors with the answers and resources they need to invest, their way.
