Chloe Grace Moretz was only 6 years old when she landed the role of Chelsea Lutz in The Amityville Horror, but the movie left an indelible mark on the young actress. In its honor, she named her dog Fuller after producer Bradley Fuller, and she named her dog Missy after the nickname of her character in the movie.
No wonder this girl's got a taste for all things tomboy and macabre! She has four older brothers — Brandon, Trevor, Colin and Ethan. "My mom has always taught us that blood is thicker than water," Moretz says of her relationship with her siblings. "No one will ever understand the dynamic of your family. Ever. We are the closest family ever, and we are the most insane family ever. It may look weird to others, but to us, it's life."
When it comes to roles, Moretz goes for the shock factor — audiences let out a collective gasp in 2010 when she debuted the foul-mouthed vigilante killer Hit-Girl in the hit film Kick-A**. But lest anyone get her character in the movie confused with her in real life, Moretz clarifies of the part, "I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. As Chloe, I can honestly say I've never uttered a syllable of a curse word, not even behind closed doors."
Churning out blockbuster hits may give you a leg up in Hollywood, but it gets you no special treatment in the Moretz family. "My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it," the actress explains. Referring to herself as an "average, everyday girl," Moretz assures of her normalcy, "I have to go to bed at 9:30, and if I'm up late on the computer, I lose it for two months." Yikes!
While Moretz routinely talks about her four brothers, she rarely lets it slip that she once had another sibling. However, in a feature for Interview magazine, she told Drew Barrymore, "I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her, because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably be something to do with my sister."
We're all familiar by now with the pig's blood plotline in Carrie. But if Moretz had her druthers, the reboot would have included her being showered in something much... sweeter. When asked what she'd rather have been drenched in, the starlet chose gummy bears. "They're delicious," she jokes. "That sounds way more fun than blood. Also, gummy bears aren't that heavy. So it wouldn't be like you're being hit by rocks."
During an interview for Teen Vogue, Moretz turns into a total tourist when she steps onto an observation deck overlooking New York's famed Central Park. "Oh, my God, I have to Instagram this," she squeals, telling the writer, "Los Angeles is fun and I've lived there for 10 years, but there's something about New York. I'm pretty much New York in every way."
In Carrie, the mother of Moretz's title character is played by veteran actress Julianne Moore — whom she has nothing but praise for. "With Julianne, she is the nicest lady, but at the same time she is the most fearsome actress you'll ever see," Moretz gushes. "She's the type of actress I look up to in a mentor-type way, and she's someone whose career I will try to emulate."
While Moretz has chosen many roles in which she is anything but ladylike, the 16-year-old cites some surprisingly refined choices when asked in an interview who her dream dinner dates would be. Any guesses? If you wagered film greats Drew Barrymore, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood and Grace Kelly, you are spot-on, my friend.
Some people can't get their big brothers to be seen in public with them, much less devote their entire life to helping their little sister out. Moretz's older brother Trevor was among the first to recognize his sister's talent. "Even as a tiny child, she had something," he told W magazine. He walked away from his own career ambitions and now serves as her producer, mentor, guru and more.

10-12-06 - Less than nine weeks into a new job, the Sulpur High School girls' basketball coach abruptly resigned.
The assistant superintendent says Coach Pete Hollock turned in his resignation Tuesday morning after parent concerns prompted the principal to investigate.
School officials are not saying what the allegations involved but say the investigation found nothing criminal.
The school board will vote to accept his resignation at a meeting Friday at noon.
This was Hollock's first year at Sulphur. Before that, he taught in Durant. In Sulphur, he also taught history.

Bugz Family Playpark is one of the top things to do for kids in Cape Town. If you need to entertain 2- to 10-year-old kids, march them straight here. This fun family attraction is the largest play park in the Western Cape, offering an enormous outdoor playground and a wonderful indoor play area.
The colourful variety of pedal cars, jumping castles, rowing boats, swing horses, mini-tractor rides and a choo-choo train is certain to tire out little pipsqueaks in no time. Older and more adventurous scamps can giddy up on the ponies or zoom up the tracks on quad bikes. On sunny days they can even go slip sliding down the inflatable waterslide.
Most of the rides are kid-powered – giving small folk plenty of exercise in a fun and natural way. Bugz has two large sandpits with colourful jungle gyms, slides, swings and numerous play apparatus to crawl under or climb over. There are also delightful playhouses, a tree house and even a castle, and if there are no parties in progress, kids are free to romp around here to their heart's content. (Bugz is also a popular birthday party venue.)
Need to know? Open every day except on Christmas Day. Ticket sales close at 16:30, but rides stay open until 17:00. Token rides are only open on weekends, school holidays and public holidays. From May until mid-September, limited or no-token rides will be available. In the event of rainy weather in summer, limited or no-token rides may be available. If it happens to rain, rides will not operate for the day, but there is a great indoor section where the fun continues.

Tried and tested all over Europe, Cool Runnings tobogganing is safe, fun and a thrill for the whole family. All ages welcome (under eight year olds go tandem with an adult). We know grown ups use kids as an excuse to come to Cool Runnings, but no excuses are needed.

Ratanga Junction, the 'Wildest Place in Africa', opened in 1998 and has been enthralling visitors ever since. Located at Century City in Cape Town, Ratanga offers more than 30 attractions ranging from kiddie and family rides to thrill rides guaranteed to satisfy the most avid adrenaline junkies.One of the most challenging rides is "The Cobra", a suspended looping coaster which catapults riders from a height of 32m along 780m of track at up to four times the force of gravity and at speeds of close to 100km per hour. Adding to the thrill of the ride is the suspension of riders beneath the track, feet flying free. The ride is not for the faint hearted.Then there is the Slingshot, an ultimate thrill ride. This skycoaster combines elements from skydiving and bungie-jumping. Flying three abreast, riders are strapped into a full body harness which supports them in a prone position. They are then hoisted 10 storeys into the air to the top of the tower with nothing between them and the ground. The flight suits are connected to flight cables and on pulling their own rip cord, riders plunge in a 30m free fall at 80 to 90 km/h towards the ground before swinging upwards in a 180 degree arc and then straight down again.The white-knuckle thrills and spills, of which there are many, are just one element offered by Ratanga Junction. The other attractions are designed to entertain children, families, and those who prefer to take their thrills in more manageable doses. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of live entertainment which changes from season to season and eat at one of the many eateries around the beautifully landscaped park. If you're looking for a great place to spend the whole day with friends, colleagues or family this is the place to be! The ride park operates seasonally during Western Cape school holidays however the function facilities are open year round for groups of 60 or more.Ratanga Junction also offers a large and unique variety of opportunities for corporate team building, incentive functions and events.

Picked up the 04 issue at the newsstand yesterday. Interesting long article on Coppi. Interview / report on a conversation with Valentino.
Must have been a stressful time for Valentino in the 80's. He (I will admit this is might be through a translator) got the timeline of SIS, integrated shifting/braking controls kind of way out of sequence. Too bad the interviewer did not know the history of the company better, did not do their homework or was too polite to push for the interesting questions.
So much more could have been told of the return of the company from the dark days of the 80's. It would have shown how every decision was life or death for a while.
Anyone else read this?
Happy the magazine is here, but I don't think it will GO.

Power door locks don't work on front and sliding doors. Any ideas how to fix this?
The power locks on our van do not work for the front two doors, and the sliding doors. All is well with the hatch in the back.
I can't get the locks to work either from the intererior switch, or from the key fob. If the doors are unlocked, then the sliding side doors work, but if they are locked, they will not slide open even when using the control on the key chain.
Any ideas on what to look for? I've checked the fuses in the engine compartment, and they are all there and healthy.
27 Answers
Rhinodad, I will be watching for a response as our 2007 T&C minivan is having similar problems. The automatic locks will not operate from the remote key fob, but the sliding doors will open and close with the remote. When trying to lock the doors using the key fob, the horn will honk but the locks aren't moving. Darrell
At Edmonds.com I found these solutions (as I too was experiencing the same issue): Reseat the IOD 20A fuse. This may be only a temp. solution as I have read. I just pulled the fuse this morning and everything works fine now. HOWEVER, I read that it is merely a temp. fix for a new code that needs to be programed into the BCM. Think of it as a Microsoft update that most computers "require" periodically. I canceled the appt. I had set up for Wednesday and will have them enter the new code at my next regular service appt.
Thank you to the last poster. (shni). I had the problem with the locks on my 2005 Town and Country. I just went out and reset the 20A IOD fuse, and it worked! Genius!
Had the same problem. Just rolled out to the garage, pulled the fuse and replaced it. Problem solved. Works like a champ. Chrysler T&C, a great van until 100,000 miles then the wheels fell off, engine fell out and now I get to pull and replace a fuse periodically to get my stupid auto locks and doors to work....what a POS!
I actually made it to 150,000 miles, but now I'm having all the same problems. This is the first and last Chrysler I will buy. Back to Hondas for me.
Thanks everybody for the info. I'm 2500 miles from home when the door locks stoped working. Not in one place long enough to get looked at. Did what you advised and all is well. Thanks again everybody for taking the time to leave your comments.
wonderful advice .. work like a charm... thanks.
worked for me 2 minutes after i read the edmunds article @top of page
Thank you! Just bought a 2005 Chrysler t&c Friday and realized that night that the power door locks didn't work. Should have done a more thorough inspection on the car. Went to the dealer today and they said I would have to bring it to their service station about 45 mins from my house. This discussion saved me a trip!
Temp fix only lasted two days. Guess I have to bring it in. Lame.
That trick worked for me! I thought I'd gone back to the days when cars had only manual locks...Nightmare over now.
Was it making sounds when you used the switches? Or Key fob , as mine is making the sound. Hell I will pull the fuse and see if that works, wont cost anything.
Is there a way to fix this without having to pull and replace the fuse all the time? This quick fix only lasts a day or two, if that.
Had to bring it to Chrysler. It was a computer thing. A computer upgrade needed to be done. That's the only was to permanently fix the problem. Thankfully my car was still under warranty so no charge.
i have the same problem on my van now will try to pull the fuse to reset as everyone recommend.to see..if it really work..
there is a reflash avail. through chrysler, if you get tired of pulling fuse.....this was a common problem for quite a while.
If you have one that tries to move but wont quite lock. the lock accuator needs to be replaced. You can buy this seperate from latch.
thejeepdoctor what is this reflash that is available through Chrysler for the door locks? firstname.lastname@example.com
Is this the the fuse box in the engine? Or is there another one? Thanx!!!!
The fuse box under the hood, yes.
Under the hood is one of your fuseboxes, for the ECM, engine control module. for most things inside the vehicle the body control module runs those, and the fusebox for those is located in the cabin, under the dash just left of the steering wheel, there is a panel there that pops out with two clips, each is marked, in both places, as to what they are fuses for
I caught this fix and it worked for me...however I just took it to the dealership and they said it was the accuator??? But the fuse was fixing it temporarily and the doors were not trying to open. Does anyone know is my dealership on crack and going for the easy answer rather then the computer/software update?
not the actuator. If the actuator goes, it make no sound. Pull the fuse, mine will work from a few weeks to months.
you guys are the best i did exactly that and it worked like a charm reseting the 20A iod fuse did the trick thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Tried it tonight, didn't work for me. I have to take the car in anyway because the AC stopped working and recharging it lasted maybe a week!
I switched the fuse but that did not work. Maybe I need a software upgrade? Wonder how much those are?
I had the same issue with the locks, pulled the IOD 20 amp fuse wiped it off put it back in and it worked, sounds like it still needs a computer update but this temp fix worked great, appreciate all the posts I was chasing my tail trying to figure this thing out.

The common grave. This term is also called "Hell."
Hell does not mean what the Catholic's teach. Back when Christianity was hijacked, the Roman Catholic Church would speak lies and use "Hell" as a concept to control the people through fear mongering. Although, Hell itself is just another term for the common grave.
The True God, is a God of love, not hate. The Bible states His name is Jehovah, and His son is Jesus Christ, who sacrificed Himself so that His precious blood could pay for our sins, and so that repentant sinners could be saved by the price Jesus paid. Jehovah hates the sin, but loves the sinner. He desires they all repent, as He wants as many saved as possible. Hell does not exist as the Catholic Church likes to teach.
The False God, the God of this wicked system of things, is a God of hate, and his name is Satan. In Heaven, he was known as Lucifer.
He does not have literal horns atop his head. Pictures that show this are symbolic. I believe it is supposed to be representative of arrogance and/or pride. I thought I should clear that up for you.
Horns in the Bible represent power, authority and rulership... kingdoms etc...

12 Days of Sharing
I have to apologize for being MIA in my posting yesterday. It was a crazy day with IRP's winter recital, class holiday party, deadlines and then we ended it with a mommy-daughter night on the town to see The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center. I hope you stopped by and took a peek in the virtual cookie jar. Gaby, of What's Gaby Cooking, brought some very tempting peppermint bark smookies for the occasion. The cookie jar is now brimming with over 60 recipes from some amazing food bloggers. As for yesterday, I needed to make my dear, sweet daughter the priority. In some ways the memories and traditions I'm trying to create for her are a way of easing the troubled ones I have from my own childhood.
Remember the 17 million children that go hungry every day? The face of hunger comes in all different colors and economic backgrounds. After my dad suffered a work injury when I was younger, we went through some pretty tough times. I remember quite often visiting my aunt for dinner and leaving her house with a bag or two of groceries. Thankfully we never went hungry, and were lucky to have family that could help us out. But what if they hadn't been there to help out? Hunger knows no boundaries, and it doesn't discriminate. Falling on hard times, especially during this economic crisis, can happen to anyone.

Although Cliff Lee has enormous trade value, the recent track record of teams trading aces is ugly, especially when it's for a grouping of players (see full story).
On Sunday, we'll analyze the few trades that did benefit the team dealing away its ace.
Now, here are some notes from around Major League Baseball:
Mets: Alderson expects to make moves
NEW YORK -- Mets general manager Sandy Alderson knows how long Mets fans have been waiting for their team to do more than tear down and rebuild. He's been the one overseeing most of the creative roster destruction and reconstruction.
Now he says it's almost time for the Mets to start doing more than drafting and waiting. And waiting.
"I do believe over the next six months or so, we will be in a position make some significant acquisitions, whether it's through free agency or a trade," Alderson said Saturday morning. "And I'm certainly looking forward to that possibility."
So, too, are most Mets fans, though the bunch that filled the front third or so of two sections seats down the third-base line was a bit more sedate than the typical talk-radio caller that stands as the stereotype for a lot of New York sports fans.
One fan did ask Alderson, essentially, how much longer they'd have to wait. The general manager took seven minutes to answer, breaking down his approach to getting the Mets out from under bad contracts and restocking the farm system and his goal of giving Mets fans a healthy relationship with their team again (see full story).
-The Associated Press
Reds: Broxton placed on DL with sore elbow
CINCINNATI -- The Reds have placed right-handed reliever Jonathan Broxton on the 15-day disabled list with a sore pitching elbow.
Broxton's elbow bothered him during the week. He had an ultrasound on Friday that found swelling in the elbow. The Reds put him on the disabled list a day later.
He's replaced by right-hander Pedro Villarreal, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the month to make an emergency start when Johnny Cueto went on the disabled list for the second time this season. Villarreal lasted 3 2-3 innings in a 12-4 loss to Colorado on June 5 at Great American Ball Park, giving up 10 hits, six runs and three homers.
He was sent back to Louisville after the one start (see full story).
-The Associated Press
Cubs: DeJesus lands on DL with sprained shoulder
NEW YORK -- The Chicago Cubs have placed outfielder David DeJesus on the 15-day disabled list after he sprained his right shoulder running into the center-field wall Friday night.
DeJesus was running almost full speed when he extended his right arm, which slammed into the padded wall in right-center at Citi Field. His glove was knocked off his right hand, and DeJesus immediately went down, writhing in pain on the warning track.
DeJesus, who grew up in the New York area, dislocated his thumb on a similar play at Yankee Stadium in 2010. Unlike that year, however, DeJesus is expected to return and play again this season.
The Cubs activated right-handed reliever Shawn Camp from the disabled list. He has 12 strikeouts and six walks in 16 2-3 innings this season in the bullpen (see full story).

The Los Angeles City Fire Department, as well as the Historical Society, lost a great retired member, supporter and friend when Frank Manwarren passed away this past week. Frank was fireman's fireman - dedicated, professional, hilarious, and was a man of courage, faith, and generosity.
I first met Frank nearly a decade ago, when I had my first experience with the LAFD Historical Society. I was sitting in the kitchen, talking with then Assistant Chief and LAFDHS President Bob Defeo, when I noted a photo of a group of firemen at the table in the same kitchen. Chief Defeo grinned and pointed to a bald man in his early eighties, who was sitting next to him. The man gave me a toothy smile and then turned away. I was initially taken aback but after a moment, realized the goofy grin from the bald man was a signal - he was in the photograph. That began a mutual admiration relationship with Frank Manwarren, fireman, general contractor, waterscape designer, and photographer. (Photo: Frank Manwarren cuts his birthday cake at the LAFDHS in 2005)
I knew Frank far less than most of those who are actively involved with the LAFD Historical Society. Regardless, I enjoyed every moment spent with him. He always had a ready handshake, would ask about the things going on in my life and that of my wife, and was eager to share stories about his career, both in the fire service and the military.
He often spoke of his son, of whom he was very proud. He tearfully recalled the loss of friends who died while he was on the job, and he brightened whenever he saw his friends Bill Rolland, Julian George, and Ted Aquaro.
During the last year, I asked Frank on numerous occasions if he'd sit down for a video interview to talk about his past and the many things he accomplished. He would always grin, and find a way to get out of it. I wish he would have agreed, but out of respect, I didn't push him beyond asking every time I saw him! This past fall, I walked into the museum kitchen and Frank was having lunch. He saw me, gave me that big grin, extended his hand and said, "How are you? And, NO!" It was a hilarious moment, and it was very much an example of Frank being Frank.
Every firefighter has an interesting story to tell. But Frank was one of those unique individuals who really had a LOT of stories to tell. From struggling through a living hell in China during World War II to taking pictures for the LAFD during the Bell Air Fire, the Watts Riots and even to his amazing waterway creations for Disney and Busch Gardens, he lived a full life and was mentally vibrant to the very end.
He would have been 90 this coming June. It is the same month the LAFD Historical Society hosts their retired firefighter luncheon. I'll miss Frank at that luncheon. I know everyone who knew him will miss him every day. His last email to me came just a few weeks before he passed away - writing, "next year will be much better. Keep working hard and we will win." There's no better advice for anyone.

Thank you for this really terrific story. If there was ever a story that wanted to make you join the fire department, this is it.

I'm moved beyond words and even grief by your stirring tribute to Frank Manwarren. In speaking with our Brother Frank over the years, I learned many things about our Fire Department, life and most importantly - about myself.
As certain as the Museum and Memorial he helped found and sustain, Frank's legacy will be one from which we all can and should take part.
Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
Brian Humphrey
Public Service Officer
Los Angeles Fire Department
I'm honored to have shared the premises once occupied by a legend like Frank during my years of service at Old Fire Station 27.

I did not know Frank Manwarren. Thanks to the words and description by Mr. Barrett, I feel as if I did. The firemen from the 50s and 60s were a remarkable breed, and as I came on, went from house to house creating my own rep, I heard about men like Frank Manwarren. Thank you Mr. Barrett for your descriptive article. Rest in Peace Brother Manwarren.

Frank was a dear friend and I will miss him. He introduced us to Yoshikawa and was a leader in the establishment of a LAFD Memorial.............transporting a scale model of the Wall of Homor in his own car while apologizing that his vehicle looked a little untidy/lived in. Wonderful sense of mischief and a great smile. How lucky we are to have known him.

Thank you! Frank was such a great person. I had the opportunity to discover some of his film work from China is in the National Archive. I will miss him.

I first met Frank at a Hydro-scape b-b-q in what was my first industry event for Western Landscaping News.
Frank bought me a beer and began the first of countless stories about his exciting and full life.
From world travels building rock and water features, to the accomplishments of his son in following his footsteps, Frank always had a kind word for most everyone.
Frank loved his wife Dottie, his son David and his daughter (I'm sorry I never met her and can't remember her name). I know she was there throughout his life and was the apple of his eye.
Frank once said that the only thing he ever did behind his wife's back was unzip her dress. He was loving and loyal to the end.
His stories of the Fires department and landscape business always came with a twinkle in his eye . . . A twinkle that said that he had enjoyed one of the most fulfilling life's of anyone I have ever met.
There are so many stories and remembrances that to list them all would take another lifetime.
Frank will be missed, he will always hold a spot on the masthead of our magazines and will definitely hold a spot in the hearts and minds of me, my wife and kids, and the staff of LASN . . .
God Bless you Frank and God Bless his children and grandchildren!!!

I couldn't think of enough good things to say about Frank.
He was such a great friend to my husband and our family.
What a joy to receive a visit form Frank. Or visit him and see the great lily pond he built.
How wonderfully grand he could dance in a ball room.
How he loved art and nature of Gods creation.
We miss him very much and happy he left some work behind for the world to see.
And are most curious about see his photos in gallery or exhibition some day.
What a great sense of humor and a fantastic story teller.
We will meet again on the gold shore, where thine is the Kingdome and the glory for every God Almighty Amen

I would like to express our sincere condolence to the family of the late Frank Manwarren. Frank always wanted to help the projects of the Japanese garden which we were involved. His product of granite stones was very impressive. His contribution and help to our projects is greatly appreciated.

San Diego The mayor's race may have ended in November, but not the war of words.
Ex-councilman and mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio is taking issue with Mayor Bob Filner's push to change the municipal code to allow former Councilwoman Donna Frye to work in his administration. Under current rules, Frye can't work more than 90 days a year for the city as a provisional employee because she collects a pension from her past council service. Filner wants to raise that cap so she can work full time.
DeMaio, who spoke Thursday at a pension panel hosted by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, said Filner's proposal would effectively create a Deferred Retirement Option Plan for former council members that allows them to double-dip at taxpayer expense. DROP is a city benefit program that allows city workers to simultaneously collect a salary and pension for up to five years toward the end of their careers.
Filner dismissed DeMaio's comments Thursday. He said the ordinance change he's seeking would allow Frye and other former council members, not mayors or city attorneys, to work as many as 300 days a year as provisional employees.

The Democrats hope to pass some bills that showcase part of the agenda for their presidential candidate before Election Day.
But they may stack the deck, to some degree - advancing only easy-to-swallow measures, and holding back on the more controversial.
At the same time, failure of a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass easy bills that the Democratic candidate for president supports could prove somewhat embarrassing for Sen. Barack Obama, campaigning on a promise of "change we can believe in.''
And this, after all, is John McCain's Senate as well - with fellow Republicans ready to lock down, if the Democrats remain unwilling to clear the path for the many judicial nominees from the Bush White House that have gone into a long hold.
But Laurie Kellerman of the Associated Press reports that Democrats intend to use Congress as a "showcase for the kinds of change promised'' by Obama.
Some legislation stands a good prospect of passage -- policy blueprints for higher education and the military, a ban on lead in toys, she writes. Leaders simply will "skip over debates'' on new spending and taxes until the new president takes office in January.
Bills the Democrats hope to pass: Reauthorizations for higher education and the Pentagon, banning imported toys with lead, shielding middle-income taxpayers from the alternative minimum tax, extending some expiring tax breaks for businesses and preventing doctors from absorbing cuts in Medicare payments.
In addition: A boost in the GI Bill for veterans' college benefits, at a cost of more than $50 billion over the next decade. Obama supports this, but McCain and the Pentagon oppose this for awarding benefits after only three years of service - fearful that this could encourage servicemen and women to leave after only one enlistment, during a war that McCain has warned could take years to end
Some legislation is doomed, but then, the point "isn't passage this year,'' Kellerman writes. "It's about making the case that the Democrats' plan for children's health care, for example, won't become law without one of their own in the White House.''
Anything leaders advance will have been "vetted for the benefit of the Obama campaign as is traditional between the congressional majority and its presidential candidate,'' she notes.
"Now that the primaries have come to a close, we relish the opportunity to compare agendas," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) the Senate Democrats' chief campaign fundraiser. "It's going to sharpen the focus in the Congress and the Senate. It's going to sharpen the focus in the presidential race."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, too, indicates that the House will synchronize its agenda in the run-up to drafting a party platform in Denver this summer.
The document will reflect the Democrats' focus on heath care, global warming, national security and the economy.
"I'm sure we'll be sitting down together to talk about how we can work together for a great Democratic victory in November," Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters who had asked her about Obama. "We'll obviously want to make it current as we go forward and be more illustrative of some of the initiatives we would put forward.''
Yet undetermined: Whether Democrats will try to push a legislative rescue for the mortgage crisis, or use the issue as a club against Republicans this fall.
Pelosi plans next week to advance a bill extending unemployment benefits, following a new Labor Department report showing the biggest monthly jump in the jobless rate since 1986 - 5.5 percent unemployment in May, a point higher than last may and half-point higher than April, with 324,000 jobs lost so far this year.
Democrats also plan a new effort to revive the economy this fall, at the height of the campaign.
Playing congressional for political ends can cut both ways, however.
"Republicans like Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania have warned, for example, that blocking President Bush's judicial nominations was angering GOP senators and could trigger retaliation against a President Obama and his nominees,'' Kellerman reports.
Bush and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) struck an agreement this week to confirm the new housing secretary, Steve Preston, and members of a congressionally funded think tank "in what some observers predict could be the last Senate confirmations of Bush's tenure.''
"As often happens toward the end of a president's term,'' Kellerman notes, "such agreements get harder to negotiate. Republicans are accusing Democrats of trying to run out the clock.''

On Friday, June 1st at 6:30 PM, I'm going to be on John Strauss' Indiana Public Radio show, Indiana Weekend, talking about Cole Porter's hometown (and mine): Peru, Indiana. We recorded the interview last week, but I haven't been able to get these remaining thoughts out of my head.
1. Cole Porter was born on June 9, 1891 in this house in my hometown of Peru, Indiana. When I was growing up in Peru, I knew Cole Porter's birthplace as the rather shabby apartment building on the left. A few years ago, the police found a meth lab in one of the apartments during a raid. This generated some negative press, which led to a wonderful effort to save the house and turn it into a B&B. Today, that house is for sale. The reason it's for sale is that despite being absolutely beautiful and historical, the B&B doesn't generate enough money because not enough people have reason to stay there. The whole thing makes me sad. Read this article if you want some backstory on this.
2. I lived in Peru, Indiana from 1968 until 1987, and during that time, I had no knowledge whatsoever of who Cole Porter was, nor that I shared a hometown with one of the 20th century's most prolific composers.
3. How could I not know this? Because I'm working class. Because I grew up in town with no bookstores, no NPR stations, no record stores, no internet. Because no one I knew ever talked about him. Why didn't they talk about him? See #5.
4. I had to travel all the way to New York City to find out that I shared a hometown with Cole Porter. It was 1990, I was shopping for music in Tower Records. I came across a tribute album called Red, Hot + Blue, a tribute to someone named Cole Porter to benefit AIDS research, and it contained songs by some of my favorite artists at that time (Sinead O'Connor, U2, Annie Lennox). So I bought it. I realized I knew all the songs already…somehow. I opened up the jewel case to read the liner notes, and right there, "Cole Porter was born in Peru, Indiana…" I was dumbfounded.
5. The next time I visited Peru, I asked my maternal grandmother, a member of the local historical society, "How can it be that I grew up in this town and didn't know who he was? Why don't we celebrate him more?" She said, "Well, it's because he left, of course. And because, you know, he was…" She either said he was "queer" or "different." I can't remember which.
6. Today, Cole Porter is definitely celebrated and known in Peru. Proof of this:
- his name is now on the "Welcome to Peru" sign (it wasn't when I was growing up)
- the Cole Porter Festival (go to this if you can!)
- more exhibits devoted to him at the local museum, including one of his trademark Cadillacs
- there's a sign to help out-of-towners find his gravesite at Mount Hope Cemetery
7. Here is a T-shirt from a past Cole Porter Festival in Peru. I love this shirt and everything it represents, the question it raises: How do you celebrate one of the 20th century's most sophisticated artists in a place where his brand of sophistication and artistry is not generally valued?
8. Things I have heard people from Indiana say about Cole Porter:
- "His music has nothing to do with Indiana. It's like he's ashamed of us."
- "He never came back because he thought he was too good for this place."
- "He wasn't like the rest of us."
- "I know he visited his mom a lot, and he had a standing order at Arnold's Candies, and yeah, he's buried here, but he's not really from here, you know what I mean?"
- "I guess Cole Porter's B-day was today. Does anyone still listen to him?"
9. For 20 years, I lived as an expatriate Midwesterner. I was what writer Calvin Trillin calls an "ExMid," a term he uses to denote "someone who lives on either coast or abroad but still prefers to think of himself at least partly as a Midwesterner." The ExMid harbors a particular fear: "The fear that his mother or aunt or cousin will be cornered by some neighbor at his hometown supermarket and informed that he has become too big for his britches." Cole Porter was not an ExMid, but I am. Big time. In fact, I am petrified that my aunt will be cornered at Harvey Hinklemeyers by one of her neighbors who will have read this blog post and tell her it's really a shame I couldn't find something nice to say on Cole Porter's birthday.
10. What is the most Hoosier song Cole wrote? If by "Hoosier," you mean sentimental and nostalgic, then by all means, it's "Old Fashioned Garden" or "Don't Fence Me In," but if you mean a song that represents his "true" feelings about his Midwestern roots, then I say it's the little known ditty "Experiment," written in 1933 for the musical Nymph Errant. A professor gives some final advice to his graduating students about what to do in the face of "philistine defiance."
Be curious
Though interfering friends may frown.
Get furious
At each attempt to hold you down.
If this advice you always employ
The future can offer you infinite joy
And merriment
And you'll see.
Happy Birthday, Cole.

William "Will" D. Tippin is a close friend and companion of Sydney Bristow, and was unaware of her uncover life with SD-6 and the CIA until she was forced to save him from a dangerous situation. His life was threatened and so he entered the Witness Protection Program.

- Partners: Francie Calfo, Allison Doren (unknowingly), Sydney Bristow
Before Danny's death
Will worked at a newspaper . He and Sydney had been friends for three years .
Investigation into Danny's death
Season 1
Will was shocked when Sydney told him that she was marrying Danny, but was there for her when he was killed (by SD-6 agents because of his knowledge of their existence). After Sydney was targeted by SD-6, seen as a threat herself, she contacted Will for help and asked for his sister, Amy's, credit card and her passport. He managed to get them for her, but he was dubious of why she wanted them . Will asked Sydney why she used his sister's passport and credit card, but she said that she could not tell him. He assumed that Danny was in some kind of trouble, but she told him to forget about it and to trust her .
Jenny, a coworker at the paper where Will worked, asked him out on a date. He said she was too young for him and brushed off the suggestion. He asked her to get the file on Danny Hecht, deciding to ignore Sydney's advice and look into her fiancée's death. He discovered that Danny was booked on a flight to Singapore the night of his death. He told her but she had an excuse .
Season 5
Will was later injected with a bomb in his neck by Burris. Sydyney saved him and he asked her to be the best man at his wedding. Will and Sydney walk through a park where Syd apologizes for the chaos she's brought him. Will assures her that it is not her fault that evil people that exist, and that he sleeps better knowing that there is only one Sydney who can keep the world safe. Little did of them realise that Syndey's long term nemsis was being genetically altered to look like Sydney. (There's Only One Sydney Bristow)
Sydney Bristow
During Season 1, it is implied that Will has an unrequited crush on Sidney1.16_The_Prophecy; Sidney's unintentional encouragement and Will's overreaction is a reoccurring plot line (See 1.3_Parity. When he discovers Sidney's feelings for Michael Vaughn, he is very protective of her.

It is obvious that I am doing okay with the exercise aspect of SP. But I do need a boost on the nutrition. If anyone would like to send me more positivity about not getting to eat that slice of pizza and passing on that delicious cheeseburger and fries, I would greatly appreciate it. I feel like I am losing my best friend sometimes when I have to say no to those things. Like, "Sorry, Mr. Yummy, we had some good times, and you tasted delightful, I really do enjoy your company, in fact I think I might love you, but I can't hang out with you anymore. You make me too comfortable. I am gonna go hang out with boring old Mr. Carrot for a while, probably forever, and never see you again. I will miss you every day, I promise."
The worst part is when he comes around and I have to ignore him... act like I don't even see him... it's tearing me up inside. I think I may go crazy...

Mr. Right is Mr. Wrong. He is Mr. Abusive. He hits you. He smacks you around. He makes you do things you don't want to do. He puts things in your mouth you don't want to go there, all those greasy calories. Yes they taste good for the moment. But remember the saying "a moment on the lips forever on the hips."
Why would you want to keep an abusive boyfriend around. And then you let his abusive friends in the house too, Mr. French Fries and Mr Pizza. You need to think of only you. Think of your well being and only of your well being. Think about what you would tell your best friend if she were in an abusive relationship. You would tell her to get out. To leave that jerk and his friends. To never see him again. You wouldn't tell her to go back and visit him on occasion.
SP is about moderation. But greasy food is not good for you in any situation. It is not good for your weight, true. But more than that it is not good for your heart, for your arteries, etc. It is hard for your system to digest. It wrecks your body overall. You wear that fat you put in your mouth on your hips, arms, legs, chin, etc. Is that what you want to see? The bruises Mr Right is leaving you with?
I was once bruised and battered by a Mr Wrong. No longer. I have met Mr Right. I do on occasion have a healthy homemade hamburger on the grill, 95% fat free on 100 calorie flat bread. Which is actually better than the others. I put lettuce and tomato and onion, ketchup and mustard on it. It is the best burger in town. I would kick it to the curb if it wasn't the best. I don't put crap in my mouth. If it doesn't taste good it doesn't go in my mouth past the second bite. Not worth the calories.
So don't let Mr. Wrong keep abusing you. You are worth more than that to yourself and to others as well. Stand up for yourself. Kick him to the curb.

Haven't read all the comments, but I would allow myself an occasional "date" with my favorites. Make it an intentional event-a special occasion. Enjoy, remember, Spark is about moderation, not deprivation. Best to you!

Breaking up is a difficult thing to do, but you will be so glad once you've accomplished it. I find now that when I eat those things I feel so bad that I don't even want them most of the time. I love baked fries. As for the cheeseburger, I think you could find an alternative that will work to satisfy the craving, or splurge once in a great while so that you don't feel deprived. Hang in there, stay focused. You ARE WORTH IT. Work on changing your mindset because I know for me that is half the battle. The little girl in the background should give you a big motivation for achieving success - so that you can play with her.

While I was switching to healthier foods I would eat kids meals at McD's

Yes kick that cheese burger to the curb. I did the same 7 weeks ago and you know I hate eating carrots but there are ways to be good to your body and have that burger or slice of pizza . Well.. maybe not that burger but a healthy alternative. Come check out clean eating, yes you can lose weight, fuel your body and actually taste your food. Your family will love it too once you get the hang of it.
Your little girls smile is beautiful!

It's not fair to compare a cheeseburger to carrots! You set yourself up to fair if those are your only 2 options.

Maybe you guys don't need to break up completely...maybe you just need to give him a makeover? You could try a veggie burger with fake cheese when you have a cheeseburger craving, with a side of oven baked fries. My dad (who is a huge meat eater) really likes Amy's Texas Burgers. They have a texture similar to meat and could help with your craving. Amy's Bistro Burger is good too, lots of flavor. For fake cheese, I like Daiya, and they recently came out with slices so now it's really convenient to eat. I introduced my parents to fake cheese (these were people who would get a large pizza for dinner once a week), and now they have switched to homemade pizzas made exclusively with Daiya shredded mozzarella. Another good fake cheese brand is Teese...but I haven't had as much experience with it as I have with Daiya. Both the veggie burgers and fake cheese (of any brand) can be found at Whole Foods or a healthy grocery store or co op.
As for pizza, you can make your own with some pre-made thin crusts, tomato sauce, fake cheese, plenty of vegetable toppings, and a meat topping. You could also make a mini pizza on a slice of bread or english muffin (with real cheese this time), and also have a salad or bowl of soup to make it more filling (and make it seem like you just went out for some italian food).
I have found that making substitutions (like fake cheese, or non meat) has allowed me to answer my cravings without being entirely unhealthy.

One slice of pizza, along with a great salad is fine. Half the pizza is not.
A small burger with lettuce and tomato is fine, unless you have fries and a pop with it and do it several times a week.
The only reason to never have certain foods is if you really can not handle being around them without eating the whole thing and then some. I can not bring home a bag of Oreos, but to get a single serving size one is fine. I can not have Halloween candy in the house more than half a week ahead of time or I'll eat it all twice before I hand them out.
In moderation and not sitting at home calling your name are ways I get around it. If it's not convenient, I'm less likely to have any (even with a vending machine in the front of my apartment building).
I find when I say "I Can't" have something, I want it more. Try telling yourself and others that you "Don't Want" it and you'll feel more powerful about it.

For me, denying myself certain foods was a sabotaging behavior. I try to eat something if I really want it, but I control how much I eat and I supplement the meal with lots of fresh veggies.
I know that some people can cut out foods and be successful, deprivation doesn't work for me. It took a while to get the hang of modifying my diet to restrict portions of the unhealthy food and increase the veggies. Now I don't have the cravings for the pizza, burgers, etc. because I know that I can have them if I really want them. I do find that I want fresh veggies with every meal now--in fact, I look forward to them.
Best of luck!

I believe that moderation is key to long term success. If you think of foods as "bad" versus "less nutritious" it is going to be hard to make a lifestyle change that lasts!!! I wouldn't be able to never have pizza for the rest of my life because frankly, it isn't realistic with 4 children and a bazillion activities. I have skipped it a lot of times and had my cottage cheese or protein bars. Or we make pizzas with the greek pita breads from Costco (which the children love) and mine get more veggies. But if we are running around and have to get cheapie cheese pizzas from Little Cesaers, I don't sweat it. I just track it and adjust calories around for the week. Exercise a little more. When I look at how long it will take to burn the extra calories.....suddenly Mr. Magnum ice cream bar doesn't look as good. But I will occasionally enjoy a frozen yogurt. It's finding your balance that builds a strong foundation for success!!!!

You could always tell him he can be your foody buddy. Good for a quick hit* in a controlled manner* than pushed back into the shadows of tall upstanding Mr Carrot who makes a mean stir fry, I hear.
Like Castiron said Breaking up is hard to do but sometimes you just gotta.

I love this! You are a hoot! Had this same mind set in the first weeks...this suffering toally leaves you . I dont remember when but it fades....usually when you meet a great goal or drop a size! Things all healthy things taste great cause you feel great! When I started oh yeah at first everything about the nutrition tracker was all " can't s and not's"....I felt bad for myself. Funny now but I realized that I kept with eating healthy -as my punishment for gaining the weight! I thought to myself "You don't deserve that burger and ice cream because you are bad! Now- HERE. I am 4lbs from my goal weight. I think that food is crap and I deserve better than junk! I am amazing And I deserve the best food. See this through...leave it behind you...the sooner you do the faster you will progress! Great blog!

You're being awfully kind and compassionate toward someone who wrecks your life, Sweetheart ;-)~ I'd tell him what a scallywag he's been, that he's been a useless fu**-up and that you have no desire to ever see his cheesy, doughy, greasy, FAT face anymore!
Don't send him off gently into the sunset, Marci!!!
Kick his lyin', cheatin', heart-breakin' A** to the mother-lovin' curb!!!
love you, Girl!

PASSION An incredibly intense and compelling desire for something that is barely containable, I think that's the key.
Your passion should be so great that makes you want to scream from the roof tops your goals and desires.
This is the kind of passion that makes you invest in yourself while in pursuit of your dreams.
Best wishes on reaching your goals and dreams.

Hey, there's no reason that you can't be a two-timer!!! People do it all the time.
I suggest that you start with Mr. carrot (a portion or two of your vegetables) then go to Mr. Burger/Fries afterward (in a smaller portion than you'd normally do).
A further suggestion is to have the day planned ahead so you have somethingto look forward to, and help you stay on track.

you can have those things in moderation. I know that's easier said than done but give it try.

Sorry to Mr. Yummy. Tell him that its not you but him. Lol! It is hard to do but you will feel much better about things in the long run sticking with Mr. Carrot than you ever could with getting that instant only sort of satisfaction with Mr. Yummy! You are doing great, keep it up!

YOu don't have to give up those things, just do them less often and is smaller quantities---I had been really good all week and Friday I just wanted a burger and a soda---so we went to Hardees--I got what I wanted---was full before the end of the burger and fries so I chose not to finish---and got on the scale on Saturday and had lost 3 lbs this week---so see, you can still have those things, just plan them out. It is like going out to a restaurant and asking for a take out box when your meal is brought---putting half of it in there before you start eating allows you to enjoy your time out without going way over.

You don't have to break up with certain foods entirely. Sometimes, it is okay to have a slice of pizza. Also, you don't have to eat food that you don't like and find boring. I will never eat Spinach. I don't care how healthy it is. Find healthy foods you like and find a balance. It's definitely a challenge but you will see much more progress than going back and forth breaking up with particular foods and then getting into another relationship with them. What you need is just a fling with them once in a while. ;)

Hilarious! But I'm sticking up for Mr. Pizza--he's not inherently bad. In fact, the right kind in the right amounts is quite nutritious (I could never give that bad boy up!). Make it yourself so there aren't secret surprises. Piazza dough is incredibly easy to make. Break off part of the dough--a smallish amount--and flatten it as thin as possible, bread plate size. Divide the rest of the dough into similar balls, put them in Baggies and freeze. Make your own sauce--no sugar is needed--or go gourmet and just smash a tomato with some spices! Get part skim mozzarella, shredded, and don't put it on over thickly--or tear a thin slice. There it is--or add veggies or something non pepperoni.
Two slices of Paul Newan margherita works.
Or, if you're really determined to give him a makeover, use a tortilla or pita base.
He's a reformed bad boy!

everything is moderation......I know changing your foods & lifestyle is difficult at first but with time believe me it comes natural. But hey we are not perfect, I know I am not *lol*. Yesterday, I bought some Lindt Dark Chocolate & Coconut bar - hubby & I had a couple of pieces as dessert. Was it good ? Oh, yeah.

I'm going to be the odd one out here, I still don't eat fruit, the sugar content is too high, though I do eat vegetables, but not in huge quantities. I will eat cheeseburgers, and fries, but just not all the time. The way you choose has to be sustainable for the rest of your life, and if I totally give up the things I like, I will simply crash and regain the weight again. So for me the task is to lose weight/get fitter/stay healthy, while not depriving myself of everything that makes life worth living.
My way is fasting two days a week, and keeping fairly low on carbs the rest of the time. At weekends though I relax a bit more and have a few beers and the odd takeaway. It works for me, not necessarily for anyone else. It means I don't have to count calories. Though I exercise a lot on my fast days, and watch my portion size on my non fast days, but I eat what I fancy.

Lol, fortunately once you give up junk food and sugar, Mr. Carrot becomes a whole lot more exciting. Since I said no to sugar and pop, fruits and vegetables are a heck of a lot tastier. Today I was going to allow my self to have a cheat meal- French toast sticks or waffles or pancakes. Then I saw fresh pineapple chunks... Helloo, gorgeous! Needless to say that the gluten and sugar laden crap didn't make it onto my plate, but a cup of succulent, sweet and juicy pineapple sure did. Then again I get excited when I see fresh broccoli or asparagus in the chow hall... Maybe I'm just weird? Anyway, your Mr. Pizza is bad news. He is an abusive boyfriend. He sweet-talks you with his fatty, carb-laden goodness, but he hurts your body and your self-esteem. You know you want to break up with him, but your well-meaning friends bring him around to tempt you back into his clutches. Like any toxic relationship, this one needs to go! Don't let Mr. Yummy abuse you!
Did you giggle at my comment? If you did, good! Next time you will see a slice of pizza you will probably see in your mind an image of an abusive dirtbag, and won't be tempted to eat it anymore. Good luck with the break up, and here is to healthy new you!

took me awhile to get past that point as well. what i try to concentrate on is how im going to feel afterwards - would i rather be sluggish and have an upset stomach? or would i rather have tons of energy? i also try and focus on WHY i'm craving something bad for me. its usually emotional rather than actually being hungry. of course, if we could easily make those conscious choices every time we ate, none of us would be on sparkpeople trying to lose weight. so if i give in to temptation, i try to just shrug it off and do better next time. it took me several stops and starts and failures until i was finally content with eating healthily, rather than seeing it as a punishment.

Okay... my favorite foods are steak and potato chips. Yes I miss them. But, I look at all those thin girls and want to be one. I mean I really WANT to be one of those thin girls. So I look at my picture and see how just how fat I have become, then I can pass on the chips and the steak. Will that work for you?
Also, try something beside boring Mr. Carrot. I love sugar free popsicles - 10 calories each, they take a while to eat if you lick and don't bite - and they taste like heaven. Or try nectarines, the riper the better for a sweet treat. But put your fat picture, if you have one on the cupboard or the fridge. You won't get thin with out restricting calories.
But also, once a month or so, make a date with a cheeseburger - but make it at home... lean beef, low calories cheese, baked french "fries". You won't be sorry, and you will cut the calories in half or more. After dinner take a long walk with your bestie!

Breaking up is hard to do, but now that you have witnesses....
Keep up the good work and have fun with the beautiful little girl on your background.

Mysonne One More Chance Lyrics
Last updated: 05/16/2013 07:52:08 PM
As I spit to this hip hop classic by biggy
I dare y'all ever forgive my city
We gave you hustle, gave you Jiggy
Gave you Jay Nars, gave you diddy
We gave you witty, metaphors and punch lines
MVP's and buzzing beaters at crunch line
One time for my big homie Bust Rhymes
So much time but still got so much shine
It's a must I represent for NY,
We still here, keep it real, pretend why
NY forever stars exist, that's right
Who you know spit better bars than Kiss?
My bull styles be barge, I ain't get yet
The god of heart, shout outs to dipset
Can't forget flex, gotta pay homage
You heard him bombing if you ain't amish
This is play knowledge, can't forget the case late
Drummer boy been killing shit since '88
Still giving em hell, driving them crazy
Originator, straight stuntin, baby, baby
Army navy general they rank me
Bitches love me criminal they thank me
Fake ass they hate me, real niggas they know that
Realest retro so I'm a throw back
Pull back, pull back nigga from the ghetto
Rap cat that fuck with heavy mental
Violent but valet on, every level
Chalegard, valeting every devil
Every bezel that shinin ain't diamonds
Every nigga that's rhyming ain't shining
Every line in they silver they lying
The shit ain't about all skills, it's more timing
It's all grinding, faling down and climbing
Putting in work till niggas co signing
Respect goes out to French and asap
Yeah I love hip hop but hate rap, take that.

Ideas to maximise your prospect on your house financial commitment on an off-the-plan home
Getting house off-the-plan is really a property investment system that is gaining popularity at a really higher rate inside the Australian house sector. What potential traders should know beforehand is the fact that this type of financial commitment isn't for your faint-hearted. Only a brave and optimistic investor would shell out a lot of money on property that will not exist. Nevertheless, risk-taking is what compounds business enterprise and specifically residence expense. The brave have gone by doing this and have reaped handsome rewards right after only a year or two. The idea powering buying-off-the strategy is always to obtain home on the prevailing market rates and desire to capitalize for the funds appreciation if the purchase is finished during the foreseeable foreseeable future.
So, how will you maximise your achievement probabilities when buying-off-plan? An astute investor will target on every last very small detail previous to making any financial shift. Home financial commitment needs to be very well considered out or you will locate by yourself in an awkward financial place. It really is for that reason necessary that you just grasp how the Australian off-the-plan home investment operates.
Typically when there's an off-the-plan residence start, the massive investment companies are presented the 1st priority. The original selling prices for models are heavily discounted to inspire rapid shopping for. Instantly immediately after the first sale, the remaining models are floated towards the standard public. If you are a sole home investor, this can be the appropriate time to make your shift. Remember the before you table your interest in the property, the greater your odds of gaining a good discount around the home financial commitment. You also stand a better possibility of gaining the better units. When purchasing like residence, the estate agent really should be capable to offer each of the off-the-plan home promotion material to suit your needs to evaluate. Ordinarily they've got indicate models that match the specs of the forthcoming house.
Prior to earning the home investment, it's essential to carry out thorough current market study to ascertain the possibilities from the home in which you're arranging to invest. For example, if they are rental models, how would you rate the desire for rentals in the neighbourhood? How is definitely the bordering infrastructure? Are there critical amenities that may make habitation straightforward? How good are the transport backlinks and safety? Every one of these are things that should dictate the rate of return in your house financial commitment.
If the home is for resale, you should know the prevailing home market trends. Additionally you have to recognize the target marketplace for your property investment prior to procuring the residence. Community estate agents may also help you to find out quite possibly the most very likely source of demand for such residence. It's also wise to determine how many other this kind of units happen to be sold out around the time you are buying yours. Or else you can come up versus stiff levels of competition, which will sooner or later sluggish down the property disposal plus the targeted profit in the residence purchase.
Property specs are another vital consideration you have to make. If, for example, you happen to be targeting a household household clientele, what exactly are the unit dimensions? Compact models could be ideal for single pros but unsuitable for spouse and children homes. In that circumstance, offering like property may very well be really hard.

Yemen also lacks any sort of balance as it's the only map I can remember that's played in only one fashion. There are some narrow streets and walkways, but the majority is building-to-building sniping. It's easy to die without seeing your killer unless you look into every window and alleyway. This creates very tedious gameplay that Black Ops 2 should be without. Yemen is lacking a lot of key ingrediants for a fun multiplayer map including freedom to choose how to play.Weapon Recommendation
Any combination of Sniper Rifle or Assault Rifle works fine for Yemen since you'll literally be in a multileveled building most of the game. I went with thy Type 25 with the millimeter scanner this time so you can see when people are camping in buildings when you're close by. The millimeter scanner will show enemies in a ghost-like glow if they're not moving which is perfect for enemies in buildings. The fore grip will give you better accuracy for long distances and the Suppressor will make sure you're not spotted on the mini-map. You can also use any of the various Sniper Rifles for optimum long distance shooting which is highly effective as well.
Pick 10
- Primary – Type 25
- Attachments – Millimeter Scanner, Fore Grip, Suppressor
- Secondary – None
- Perk 1 – Hardline
- Perk 2 – Cold Blooded
- Perk 3 – Dead Silence
- Lethal – Grenade
- Tactical – Shock Charge
- Wildcard – Primary Gunfighter
- UAV – Find out what buildings enemies are hiding in
- Sentry Gun – Throw the sentry gun down in front of a crowded building
- Lightning Strike – Pick three buildings to bomb
- Hunter Killer – Throw this up into the air for a free kill
Yemen is one of the weaker maps in Black Ops 2 as it relies solely on shooting enemies inside buildings and through windows. You're limited to playing the way the map wants you to and not the other way around. That's the biggest issue I have with Yemen as I don't want to be forced into playing building vs. building and that's exactly what happens.
What do you think of Yemen? Did you find similar playstyles to mine helpful? What are your strategies for Yemen? Let me know in the comments below. Add Comment.
