10 best workout videos. The exercise video market is a huge industry and lets just say not always the most honest. These days everyone is out to make a buck and the fitness industry is no different.
There are many great exercise dvd programs on the market but there are also some dud's. Beginners who are just starting to get into fitness can be overwhelmed with the mass amounts of fitness programs on the market.
At FGR our goal is to sift through this for you and show you what the best exercise videos are and which to avoid. Below is our top 10 list to help you decide where to go. Please feel free to click on the program title to go to our full review of the best workout videos for beginners.
The 10 Best Workout Videos for Beginners
Beginners often have a strong desire to see positive changes in their body but lack the direction to make it happen. Power 90 is the ultimate three month program for getting into the best shape of your life. This program is straightforward and geared towards those who aren't in shape while still being hardcore and worth the time invested. It can be hard for a program to strike a balance between beginner usability and results but Power 90 delivers both beautifully. Power 90 requires only weights or bands in terms of equipment and the workouts are short enough to fit in the course of an average day; Beachbody says Power 90 will take you 'from power to shower in under an hour' and it delivers. The moves in this workout range from aerobics to kickboxing and modern yoga and it manages to stay fresh and fun. Faithful Power 90 users will see incredible results from this complete program. That is why this is our top choice for best exercise videos
Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training
This workout is excellent for beginners yet delivers a powerful fat burning workout. The circuit style of this DVD gives users a lot of variety and it is possible to mix and match segments depending on the needs of the user. The workout is fast without sacrificing efficiency. This workout can adapt from the needs of beginners to the demands of intermediate users, making it a solid addition to any exercise library hence why it is in our best workout videos list. The equipment requirements are simple; a mat and free weights are all that's needed. There are a wide variety of movements in each circuit and the exercises are designed to work together on individual muscles to work them thoroughly in a shorter period of time. The synergistic effect of this approach yields excellent results.
Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels has a reputation for kicking it up a notch and providing the best workout videos which is part of her charm but off-putting for many users new to exercising; however, this workout is excellent for all fitness levels. It has many of the features beginners enjoy. The workouts are shorter than the average fitness DVD yet still yield unbelievable results; the movements are not easy but are quite doable for all fitness levels and this program provides room to grow. Users start out at Level 1; Level 1 either lasts a week or until the user is ready for Level 2. The same applies to Levels 2, 3 and 4. Level 4 is an advanced level but is doable thanks to the modifications provided. Users are invited to download and follow the free meal plans that go with the workout which helps individuals focus not only on the fitness aspect of weight loss but the dietary side as well. This DVD has a wide variety of different movements that are designed to keep things moving and fun; no stagnation or boredom here because no movement is ever repeated from one level to another.
Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System
These dance based workouts are all the rage and for good reason too; concealed under the music and dancing is a hardcore cardio workout designed to make users sweat and shed inches. The equipment used in the workout DVDs are special weighted Zumba maracas but users have successfully substituted weighted gloves for a quieter exercise experience. The beginner level Zumba DVD introduces the moves in an easy to pick up format but also delivers a good cardio workout. From the beginning level users may progress at their own pace. Zumba has a variety of music in the workouts which keeps things new and disguised under all the dancing is actual interval training. Interval training does a number of things for the heart and body. For users looking to put the fun back in exercise, Zumba is definately one of the best workout videos on the market.
10 Minute Solution Target Toning for Beginners
One of the biggest challenges for beginners is fitting an exercise routine into their schedule. The best workout videos take this into consideration. This DVD promises to be a solution with 5 different 10 minute long fitness routines designed to make the most out of every movement. This fitness DVD consists of the following 5 workout routines: Abs, buns, thighs, arms and shoulders and power stretch. Each of these individual segments are made to stand alone or be mixed and matched depending on the time a user has that day. These exercises are designed to be as efficient as possible; no wasted movement. The only equipment required for this workout are hand weights and a mat. This video has truly been developed with the beginner in mind; no modifications needed.
Body By Bethenny with Bethenny Frankel
Yoga has a lot to offer individuals of all fitness levels but it is important to find a program that focuses on strength based moves rather than strictly on flexibility if looking for improved body composition and weight loss. This workout DVD is well balanced and offers modifications of the movements which allows beginners to reap the benefits of a yoga workout from day one. The only equipment needed for this DVD is a mat and hand weights. Users have the option to do the 45 minute yoga portion of the workout or opt for the 55 minute complete workout which includes a bonus strength training segment. The instruction is superb which is absolutely essential for beginners of yoga. Yoga is great for toning and conditioning the entire body since most of the muscles are engaged in varying degrees with each position. This DVD keeps things interesting throughout the entire program and is good for beginning to advanced levels. I consider this one of the best workout videos for yoga
Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home 5 Day Slim Down A Mile Each Morning
The enduring popularity of Leslie Sansone's walking workouts is a testament to both the effectiveness of her methods and the need for an indoor workout. In essence users "walk" anywhere from 1 to 5 miles a day without setting foot outside and doing this activity daily yields excellent weight loss and conditioning. There are a few options with this workout DVD depending on the amount of time a user has to spend on fitness; a single mile takes about 12-14 minutes making this workout good for even the tightest of schedules. This DVD offers 5 different walking workouts which may be mixed and matched and each has a different walking style. Walking while working the upper body, walking with squats and walking while working the abs make this a full body fitness routine. This is excellent for beginners and a solid addition to a fitness DVD library, especially if time is a concern. Definately one of the best workout videos for walking.
The Biggest Loser Workout Weight Loss Yoga
The Biggest loser videos are some of the best workout videos on the market, this yoga dvd is no different. Yoga is no longer a secret of the fitness elite; however, many view yoga as something unapproachable for the modern, mainstream exerciser. If you're one of those people who view yoga as an art for the mystic let The Biggest Loser take some of the mystery out of this fitness style. This DVD is so popular because it takes two very popular things, The Biggest Loser and Yoga, and pairs them together with a focus on explosive fat burning. There are different yoga styles and not all of them have the same fat burning potential; every move in this workout was selected for weight loss. The interactive menus also make this title popular; if you ever want to know more about a movement hit the Enter button on the DVD remote. A special in-depth explanation will then appear on the screen. With this DVD it's impossible to get lost and easy to enjoy the timeless fitness yoga has to offer. Because of the 3 difficulty levels this workout will grow with users making it a good investment for the long haul.
The Complete Collection of Sweatin' to the Oldies
In a marketplace full of workout systems and DVDs that take themselves too seriously is there a place for a fitness routine as fun and unabashedly quirky as Sweatin' to the Oldies? Individual opinions may vary but there is no arguing with the fact that these workouts are still top sellers today with tons of happy and satisfied users. These workouts feel more like a dance party than a workout yet still get the blood flowing and the heart pumping which is exactly what a beginner needs. The songs in this collection are all well known classics and the DVD is very forgiving; just get up and move! This workout DVD is a lot of fun and it tends to sneak up on users; it's only when you're sore the next day that you realize just how hard the workout really was. No equipment is needed for this workout. This collection is a favorite among those who hate cardio or working out altogether. This collection is the best workout videos for the older crowd.
Denise Austin: Mat Workout Based on the Work of J.H. Pilates
A common misconception among beginning exercisers is that they need a tough workout to kick them into shape; the opposite is most often the case the best workout videos are the ones people will actually do. Beginners need a workout they can actually do in order to reach their fitness goals. Pilates can be a perfect workout for beginners offering fat burning, muscle building, body toning, improved flexibility and injury prevention all in one workout and all at the same time. Not all pilates routines are created equal and Denise Austin has really outdone herself on this one. The movements are excellent, the instruction is clear and the results are superb. Denise herself provides calm instruction that is easy to follow. The workout has modifications for beginners which gives users room to grow as their fitness and flexibility increase. The workout is divided into two twenty minute sections making it easily fit into a busy schedule.
We hope you enjoyed our top 10 best workout videos. Please check out all our reviews for your home fitness needs and after you purchase come back and tell the world what you think by leaving your own review.

I've built a script that scans a folder for PDF files and then creates an XML file in the ofrmat indicated in the documentation, complete with the <?xml> header etc.
The file is well-formed, and uses only the tags indicated in the documentation. When I pass the file as an argument to pdfmerge.exe on teh command line, I get a dialog box:
"There is no Unicode byte order mark. Cannot switch to Unicode."
I'd use the old-style command file format, except that I have unicode filenames.
PdfMerge version 1.19.3361.21520
Any ideas?

I'd like to make it so that whenever I open a particular file type (by double clicking it in explorer) it always opens the associated program with particular command line options.
So, for example, when double clicking a .tex file I want it to not only open it with emacs (which is easy to set up just by going into "Open With"), but run emacs with the command line option "-fs".
What's the easiest way to do this?

Indie-rock pioneers The Dismemberment Plan premiere new track
The Dismemberment Plan formed in Washington, D.C., in 1993, taking their ostensibly eerie name from rather typical insurance-policy language. Over their career, the band released four critically acclaimed albums, were hand-picked to tour with Pearl Jam in 2000 and subsequently co-headlined with Death Cab for Cutie on 2002's Death and Dismemberment Tour (again with an insurance allusion).
The band members took a near decade-long hiatus to pursue other music projects as well as careers in a variety of fields (none of them in insurance, by the way), but they reunited three years ago to play some shows in support of the reissue of their 1999 release, Emergency & I.
Getting together for those sessions got the creative juices flowing among the Dismemberment Plan once again, and the result is their forthcoming album, Uncanney [sic] Valley, set for release on Oct. 15.
The Dismemberment Plan have already released the track "Waiting" off Uncanney Valley, and today they debut another single, "Daddy Was a Real Good Dancer."
What do you think of the new track "Daddy Was a Real Good Dancer" by The Dismemberment Plan? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

I have an Excel file that was created a long time ago, and one of the columns uses a VLOOKUP formula that references a file that does not exist on any computer. Formula:
The F: drive does not even exist on my computer. What's confusing is this sequence of occurences:
- Insert a value in cell C25.
- Dialog box comes up asking me to link to F:my_file.xls.
- I hit cancel because file doesn't exist.
- Formula resolves to a correct solution anyway.
So it seems like there's a hidden formula or something that runs like a backup to the VLOOKUP formula? I have Unhid all sheets, columns, and rows, and I found nothing that explains this. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks

Do you think the Heroes in a Half Shell could take on Godzilla? We may never know for certain now, as Heat Vision reports Paramount Pictures has shuffled the Michael May-produced Ninja Turtles from May 16, 2014 — the same date as Legendary Pictures' giant-monster reboot — to June 6.
Based on Kevin Eastman-Peter Laird '80s comic turned pop-culture juggernaut, Ninja Turtles has already experienced its share of problems, from fan ridicule over changes to the characters' origins to a production shutdown in June that led to the opening being moved from December 2013 to the previous date of May 2014.
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Wrath of the Titans), the CG/live-action hybrid appears to be back on track, with Transformers star Megan Fox cast just last week as April O'Neil.
Filming is expected to begin in April.
so many things wrong with this— CGI turtles? DTV chainsaw movie director? Megan Fox? Michael Bay? At this rate- I'd prefer a movie version of the 2012 series over a live action movie (cuz at least that would be good)
Too bad. I was waiting for the chance to not and go see it. :)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was actually a theatrical release. It may have been DTV quality, but it wasn't DTV.
"Paramount Pictures has shuffled the Michael May-produced Ninja Turtles"
A Michael May-produced Ninja Turtles sounds good to me!

By Sandra M. Elliott, Physical TherapistJanuary 20, 2012
FORT STEWART, Ga. - A new year can mean a fresh start; a renewed hope and a list of resolutions that you vow to keep in the coming months.
A quick check of the synonyms of the word resolution included these words: declaration, determination, ambition and intention.
I believe it takes ALL of those to be successful in any task you choose to attempt, including your new year's fitness resolutions.
As a physical therapist, my focus is to help Soldiers return to a level of fitness and function that enables them to achieve their specific mission. Does a patient's success in physical therapy require declaration, determination, ambition, and intention? You bet! To this list, I would also add self-discipline, since success in any goal we set for ourselves will require both sacrifice and the discipline to forge ahead when the going gets tough.
All of us have probably witnessed the success of someone who has courageously overcome all obstacles to achieve a goal they set for themselves.
I was fortunate to observe such a winner on New Year's Eve at the Alive in Savannah event, held at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort. I was the crew leader for the water station and was witness to several participants in the 5K and 10K who were there with their end-of year goals in mind, determined to be successful on the last day of 2011.
One young lady had resolved in 2011 to walk 1011 miles. Her goal that night was to finish the 10K. She was determined to not let anything get in her way. She was the very last person to complete the course, and did so after darkness had already fallen, and only a few were standing near the finish line to watch her achieve victory--1012 miles for the year--exceeding her goal by one mile.
This young lady is an inspiration for all, since sometimes our goals are achieved without any fanfare or without many witnesses. There is at times, only the personal satisfaction of setting and achieving our resolutions. The important thing to realize is how important it is to create a vision and to set realistic goals and then develop a solid plan to help us reach those goals.
Will 2012 be the year that you not only set winning resolutions for yourself, but you also 'cross the finish line' of success?
What is on your resolution list for 2012? Completing a marathon? Excelling at a successful strength and conditioning Cross Fit workout? Losing weight to meet personal and professional standards? Improving your 2 mile time?
As you review the list of your new year's resolutions for 2012, commit to saying them aloud daily with victory already in mind. Vow to make a difference in your level of fitness, and determine to be an inspiration to others.
Friendly reminder: Time is "running out" to be a part of the research on the use of the minimalist running shoe here in the Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Air Field community. You can access the running shoe survey online at: www.rationalsurvey.com/s/2022.
Results are tabulated automatically, and I will share the results in a future column.

The Angel of Madison Avenue
The Angel of Madison Avenue
A group of strangers helped her see her mother's eccentric behavior in a new light.
Every nurse in my unit was interested in the handsome new medical resident and his funny stories–except me. This morning, while he regaled the staff with tales of the crazy bag lady that lived on his block, I kept my back turned.
"So this morning I go out to get the paper," he said, "and there she is as usual with her grocery cart. Only now it's got a baby cradle in it!"
"Why does she need a cradle?" someone asked.
"Who knows," he said. "But she was pushing it right down Madison Avenue."
"A bag lady?" a nurse said. "On Madison Avenue?"
I stood apart from the crowd, checking a patient chart two, three, even four times, keeping my head down so nobody would notice how red my face was. Part of me wanted to tell them all the truth.
"That's my mother you're laughing at! She's the kindest person in the whole world! And that cradle isn't for her, it's for her neighbor's new grandbaby!"
But I didn't say anything. I just kept silent, like always.
Growing up, I never could have imagined being afraid to talk about my mother. Not the polished lady in snazzy, fur-trimmed suits. Or the teacher who earned her master's degree in the 1940s when women didn't do such things.
But that woman no longer existed. A few years before, Mom had slipped going down the porch steps and required brain surgery. She survived, but not without severe changes to her personality.
Her fashionable suits were replaced by the same ragged green sweater and tennis shoes full of holes. She no longer worked as a teacher, just walked the neighborhood with an old grocery cart.
The laughter of my coworkers was still ringing in my ears that fall evening when I stopped by to check on her. I found her in her "office"–two feet of space around her living room sofa–sifting through a pile of receipts from the grocery store. Eight frozen turkeys lay on the floor at her feet. She looked upset.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"I spent more than I planned on," she said. "But there are people on this block who can't afford to buy a Thanksgiving turkey."
This was the one part of Mom's personality that her accident didn't touch: her desire to help others. She'd gone door-to-door for the March of Dimes, brought comfort foods to sick neighbors, and kept a basket of cards stamped and at the ready for anyone needing encouragement.
These days Mom focused on her own personal "grocery ministry." With money from her meager pension, she made sure everyone on her block had enough to eat, delivering the groceries herself with her battered steel grocery cart. The same cart our handsome new medical resident found so ridiculous.
"Why do you bother with all this, Mom?" I said, nudging a frozen turkey with my toe. "People don't even appreciate it. Remember that time you went all over town looking for ingredients your neighbor needed to make a special dinner for her family? She didn't even say thank you."
"When people act that way, it's their heart telling you they need even more kindness," Mom said.
What could I say? Mom's accident had taken away her logic. How she could be so patient with other people was a complete mystery to me.
That very mystery was brought home a few weeks later. I was helping out at a bridal shower for a friend of a friend. The guests were well-dressed, polished and intimidating, and the hostess herself turned out to be beyond rude.
She snapped at me for putting too much ice in the punch, and criticized the way I laid out napkins. If that was her heart trying to tell me she needed more kindness, I wasn't going to listen. Mom had the luxury of being oblivious to the laughs and stares at her expense. I didn't.

A Message From TNA President Dixie Carter To The TNA Fans:
In the course of history, there are defining moments that change the fabric of a company forever.
These are moments that are spoken about for years, not days, and serve as benchmarks in the annals
of a companys growth. And on occasion, those moments transcend the individual company and re-write
the history of an industry. This Sunday at the NO SURRENDER PPV, an announcement will be made
that will do just that. You will not want to miss the NO SURRENDER PPV.
What could it be? what could it be??
Has Goldberg signed?
has Trish Stratus changed her mind and decided to join TNA?
has Stevie Richards faked yet another carreer ending injury and jumped to TNA?
has Traci gotten bigger implants?
did Nash get cybernetic leg implants?
has Molly Holly finally signed with TNA? (i miss her so much)
perhaps some footage of the new TNA game? (i'd be happy if its nwo revenge with new skins)
TNA has decided to stop signing bad ex WWE talent like Kip James?
has The Rock finally realized that he'll never be the next Schwarzenegger and that all his movies
are nothing more then direct2dvd releases so he signed with TNA to tagteam with his watered down clone Sonny Siaki?
has Traci gotten bigger implants??
did Billionaire Tedd buy TNA?
Did Victoria join TNA?
or did RVD join TNA?
... Vince Russo has rejoined? (noooooooooooo)
Meh, Its probably just something like "TNA can now be seen on TV in sweden and some parts of yugoslavia"
but a guy can dream.

The anonymous posting followed similar releases on social
media in recent weeks which Erdogan has cast as a plot
orchestrated by political enemies to unseat him ahead of
March 30 elections. But it took the campaign to a higher
level, impinging on the most sensitive areas of national
An anonymous YouTube account posted what it presented as a
recording of intelligence chief Hakan Fidan discussing
possible military operations in Syria with Foreign Minister
Ahmet Davutoglu, Deputy Chief of military Staff Yasar Guler
and other top officials.
"They even leaked a national security meeting. This is
villainous, this is dishonesty...Who are you serving by doing
audio surveillance of such an important meeting?" Erdogan
declared before supporters at a rally ahead of March 30 local
polls that will be a key test of his support amid a
corruption scandal.
The foreign ministry described the leak as a "wretched
attack" on national security and said those behind it would
receive the heaviest punishment. It said some sections of the
recording had been manipulated. Reuters was unable to verify
the authenticity of the recordings.
The conversation appears to centre on a possible operation to
secure the tomb of Suleyman Shah, grandfather of the founder
of the Ottoman Empire, in an area of northern Syria largely
controlled by militant Islamists.
Ankara regards the tomb as sovereign Turkish territory under
a treaty signed with France in 1921, when Syria was under
French rule. About two dozen Turkish special forces soldiers
permanently guard it.
Turkey threatened two weeks ago to retaliate for any attack
on the tomb following clashes between militants of the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an al Qaeda
breakaway group, and rival rebel groups in the area, east of
Aleppo near the Turkish border.
"An operation against ISIL has international legitimacy. We
will define it as al Qaeda. There are no issues on the al
Qaeda framework. When it comes to the Suleyman Shah tomb,
it's about the protection of national soil," a voice
presented as that of foreign ministry undersecretary Feridun
Sinirlioglu says.
When the discussion turns to the need to justify such an
operation, the voice purportedly of Fidan says:
"Justification can be created. The matter is to create the
The Turkish telecoms authority TIB said it had taken an
"administrative measure" against YouTube, a week after it
blocked access to microblogging site Twitter.
A source in Erdogan's office said the video sharing service
was blocked as a precaution after the voice recordings
created a "national security issue" and said it may lift the
ban if YouTube agreed to remove the content.
Google said it was looking into reports that some users in
Turkey were unable to access its video-sharing site YouTube,
saying there was no technical problem on its side.

Athens-Clarke County police recently said they are investigating a recent rash of thefts of catalytic converters from vehicles at student apartment complexes on both sides of the county.
On a single day last week, thieves cut the emission-control devices from the exhaust systems of SUVs at High Ridge on Mitchell Bridge Road, The Connection at Athens on The Preserve Drive, The Lodge of Athens and Stonecrest on North Avenue, and River Mill off Baldwin Street.
All of the targeted vehicles were Honda SUVs — CRVs and Elements.
Sgt. Randy Garrett, supervisor of the Athens-Clarke County police Westside Property Crimes Unit, said the thieves possibly targeted those particular SUV models because of the positioning of the catalytic converters.
"Because they are SUVs, there's more space for someone to crawl under them and the catalytic converters on the Hondas might be in an easier location for them to be removed," Garrett said.
Thieves steal catalytic converters because they contain the precious metals platinum, palladium and or rhodium. It costs $400 to $1,000 to replace one, but thieves generally sell them to scrap yards for about $150.
It take less than a minute for thieves to slide under a vehicle and make a few slices with a battery-powered saw to detach the devices from exhaust systems.
To prevent catalytic converter theft, follow these tips:
• Park in well-lighted areas;
• At shopping centers and other similar locations, park close to the entrance of the building or near the access road where there's a lot of traffic;
• If you work at a business or factory, park within a fenced area that's busy during the day and secured at night;
• Engrave your license plate number on the converter to make it traceable;
• Purchase a vehicle security system and make sure it's set to trigger with just the slightest motion;
• Visit a local muffler shop and have the converter secured to the vehicle's frame with a couple of pieces of hardened steel welded to the frame;
• Check out the different types of catalytic converter theft deterrent systems at a local auto parts store or online.
Anyone with information about the recent thefts should call Athens-Clarke County police Det. Lamar Glenn at (706) 353-4218, ext. 146, or Det. Ronald Mills at (706) 613-3888, ext. 290.

Let's Play: Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
By Elite Overlord LeSabre™
Hello, and welcome to my first Let's Play! For your viewing enjoyment, I have chosen Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Nintedo GameCube. I've always enjoyed the Orre-based game, and I have a slight preference for XD because the greater variety of Shadow Pokemon makes team building easy, for me at least. Videos are planned for boss battles as log a they don't exceed YouTube's 10-minute limit; however there won't be any boss battles in this first installment since I haven't yet met a boss.
Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness is copyright Nintendo/The Pokemon Company/Genius Sonority. I claim no ownership of the game or the Pokemon franchise in general. Sprites are courtesy of Bulbapedia. Well, enough chit-chat, let's get started!
Pokemon HQ Lab
Hello, my name is Victor. I live with my mom and kid sister in Orre's Pokemon HQ Lab. My father... let's just say that because of his love affair with Ponzi schemes, he's no longer living with us. Anyway, we're living here because of my mom's employment with the HQ Lab, under the direction of a scientist named Professor Krane. He's a pretty cool guy, just don't ask him about his mother. Living in a lab's pretty cool, though I still haven't had the time to perform those "experiments" I've been meaning to get around to.
I've just completed a virtual reality training session, when my mom comes asking me to hunt down my kid sister Jovi. And before you start making jokes, no she does not listen to Bon Jovi and we are in fact not living on a prayer and I do not give love a bad name. Krane's also with her, and he tells me that he's left a gift in my room. I head there to pick it up, and it turns out to be some electronic gizmo called a P*DA. Could come in handy, as long as nobody tries to spam my email account. You wouldn't believe how many offers for car and life insurance a preteen kid gets...
Well, since finding my sis isn't one of my top priorities, I instead go outside and talk to Aferd, my Pokemon's punching bag... er... "training partner"... yeah, that's it... Anyway, after my trusty Eevee beat his Sentret to a pulp, I decide maybe it's time to begin hunting for the kid before mom starts nagging me. Searching the place high and low, I spot one of the assistants, Aidan, hiding under a table. Turns out Jovi talked him into playing ANOTHER game of hide-and-seek. That man needs to learn how to say no; maybe then we wouldn't have to take him to the chiropractor every week... Well, anyway, he tips me off that Jovi might be at the house of Dr. Kaminko.
Kaminko's House
Dr. K's this really bizarre inventor who lives in this creepy old house that needs maintenance badly. So, I head there and before I even get to the door, this chubby little man with a lab coat and weird glasses accuses me of being a burglar. Before I even have a chance to explain myself, the man, who is Dr. K's assistant Chobin, challenges me to battle.
Victor vs. Chobin
No matter; Eevee dispatches his Sunkern in short order. A couple Tackles do the trick.
Chobin FINALLY realizes I'm just the kid from the local lab and lets me in. While there, I get Jovi, receive a message from a parts collector named Makin that some doohickey Krane ordered has arrived, and then hightail it back to the lab.
So, I arrive back at the lab, and Krane's waiting. He wants me to try out one of the lab's inventions... this cool looking glove and visor thing called a Snag Machine that supposedly lets me snatch so-called "Shadow Pokemon" from other trainers. Krane goes outside to prepare for some sort of training exercise when I hear screams. Running out to investigate, I see three guys in snazzy armor trying to kidnap the professor. One of the thugs, a dude named Naps, sics a Teddiursa on me.
Victor vs. Naps
The Snag Machine starts going crazy. Krane yells out to me that the reaction is because Teddiursa is one of those Shadow Pokemon, and instructs me to throw a Pokeball at it. Against everything that I've been told about reducing a Pokemon's HP and inflicting paralysis or sleep, I throw the ball straight away, and to my bewilderment the capture is successful.
Well, now the thugs are panicking, They throw the prof into this hover truck and speed off. Well, after mom and the lab staff weigh their options, they decide to proceed with their newest creation, Krane or no Krane, and send me to Gateon Port. I'm not so excited that Jovi has to tag along, but what can you do?
Gateon Port
Ah, the beautiful sea. Well, this is just a quick pit stop. I get a Thunderstone that I can use to get my Eevee to evolve into Jolteon at any time in the future. You know, because Jolteon is boss. I also pick up that part I need, and battle some of the locals, snagging a couple Shadow Pokemon in the process. Oh, and I had a run in with this really ugly goon called Zook (thanks to my sister not watching where's she's going) and a really mysterious old man named Verich and his two equally mysterious bodyguards. Anyway, I return the goods to mom in the lab and receive my next destination: Agate Village, where I can supposedly purify shadow Pokemon. Thankfully, no Jovi in tow this time.
Agate Village
So, arriving in Agate, I take the time to smell the roses and beat up the local trainers. Then I go talk to old man Eagun, who tells me to rendezvous with him in the village's "Relic Forest". So, I head down there to find four trainers to battle, including a fellow by the unfortunate name of "Gorps." Turns out these four will battle as much as you want, so I figure, why not use them to level grind a little. So I do exactly that, evolving Eevee with my Thunderstone right before it hits Level 16 to ensure that it gets Thundershock. Then I raise it one more level, to 17, before preparing to enter the inner sanctum of the shrine.

Assistant Tammy Fox to winning trainer Dale Romans (Keen Pauline): "Dale took his time with her in Florida. She had a couple of months off. She came back for the Keeneland race and it set her up perfect for this race here. Yesterday, when I galloped her over this surface, she loved it. She loved everything about it."
(On Javier Castellano's ride): "What more can you say? You have the best of the best on the horse. He knew how fast he was going. That helped a lot. When you can see a horse's ears just pricked like that and he's sitting. He did a great job on her."

In the kingdom they have a few spots used as camps for the guards. I ad two patrols chasing me when i ran into the camp. FIrst i killed the archers so i wouldnt get shot then i fought the men on top of the archer tower and kept countering and throwing them off for easy kills.

This achievement seemed difficult but was quite simple. Just start a commotion with the guards, have a few of them follow you to another location with more guards. Then fight them off until there's only one left. Stay in defense position while moving away from him into another location with more guards and repeat process until you unlock the achievement. I was able to do it in less than 5 minutes in Damascus/ Middle District.

I got this achievement with no effort when I was running through the warzone to get to the ninth assassination target, I just killed everyone I saw. And there are no civilians in the area, so you don't have to worry about that.

Thursday, January 13, 2011 @ 02:19:44 PM
A good place to get it is the army encampment outside Acre. Take out the archers and then keep moving around to pull more guards in. Try and combine it with the surviving for 10 minutes achievement too, as it just makes sense. It's relatively easy if you keep using counter attacks.

Tuesday, January 18, 2011 @ 04:14:37 AM
yea, whenever i attempt this, i end up having about three left and they just run
|Comment #7 by Rawcksass
Sunday, January 30, 2011 @ 07:04:12 PM
This is pretty simple to get. Basically on your fifth assassination, you can cause a commotion with the guards standing near him. And eventually you'll have ALOT of guards trying to kill you. Just keep the target alive, and move about while defending until more guards join. Got this achievement easily that way

Monday, February 21, 2011 @ 11:25:07 AM
i did this at the gate of Acre in memory block 3 because the guards don't have any skill yet and theres groups of 4 together each time i just got the first group en slowly walked to the city dragging more and more with me countering each time 1 came and always left like 3 or 4 it was pretty easy did it in 1 try.

I got this one at the same time as the other glitched achievement. They unlocked
at the same time.

Sunday, April 17, 2011 @ 03:57:34 AM
I ended up doing this at the guard camp just North of Acre. I ended up getting this achievement and Eagle's Flight at the same time.

Monday, May 23, 2011 @ 02:22:42 AM
The keep one guard alive method didn't work for me as the last remaining guard always gives up and begs for his life. In the end I gave up on the idea but got the achievement in the normal run of play during the Memory Block 4 assassination, William of Montferat in Acre. There are so many soldiers around him that I ended up fighting one huge battle and the achievement popped just before I dealt him the fatal blow in combat so it worked out quite nicely.

Thursday, June 02, 2011 @ 03:53:48 AM
I'm mid-way through the game (returned to it 2.5 years after starting :-P), doing the soldier with the daft hair-cut, counted how many I killed, got to 24 and the last guy ran off meaning I went from "open conflict" - damn I was annoyed!!!
I'll leave it and see if it pops later in the game...
|Comment #13 by leighd19
Saturday, June 25, 2011 @ 08:50:56 PM
all i did is go to the kingdom to one of the big camps just run around till there was alot of guards was next to me but make sure you have about 3 or 4 left so they dont run away and you can run around again to get more guards

This is possible on Memory Block 1. I found it by chance on a revisited playthrough so thought I'd share.
After you dump the logs on [Robert] and are sent down into Masyaf, run halfway down the hill until you see a stone tower with a ladder. Behind this are 2 deserted market stalls. Hang around here and a guard will spot you & attack. Kill him. Within a few moments, another guard will spot you, rinse and repeat. I was just practising my fighting skills here at the time and, after wallowing in a few corpses, I got the Achievement! Really surprising & a whole lot easier than taking on 25 at a time!
|Comment #16 by THRASHINATOR3
Monday, July 25, 2011 @ 01:07:23 PM
I got this achievement by doing the Eagle's Will achievement glitch. I think it may have been because I just finished a fight before I did the glitch. Try it and see if the same thing happens to you...

After you dump the logs on Roger you exit the animus, not being able to continue on memory block 1.
What you should do is that you do this AFTER Al Mualim and Malik has talked to you, when Roberts templars attacks Masyaf and your icon are red all the time. When the man meets you under the viaduct and says that you should "distract the templars", you can:
"run halfway down the hill until you see a stone tower with a ladder. Behind this are 2 deserted market stalls. Hang around here and a guard will spot you & attack. Kill him.

I got this one automatically in Memory Block 6 (second target) because you're in open combat the whole time. You take out 3 at first, then another small group, then 3 more, etc. but it all counts as the same fight. By far the easiest way to get it since you have to get through these guys anyway!

Ohh Sweet I got it in the kingdom area when I killed
the last captian left in the area.
if you keep the higher rank soldiers alive they recruit
more soldiers during the fight.

Just did also on my way to Robert. Actually is quite simple on Kingdom. Here is how I did it: ran into a group of soldiers. When there was only 2 or 3 left, I start running looking for another group of soldiers.
Since there is A LOT of groups on Kingdom, you wil ran into them quite easily. So after finding another group, keep killing them until the achievement pops.
(I thought I would have some trouble with this one since I got through the entire game and this didn't appear but managed to do it on my first try when going for the missing Kingdom's flags.

I got this along with some other Eagle's related achievements during the very first combat sequence, I just stayed next to a market stall where I first killed a few guards and whilst going for "Gifted Escapist" a guard turned up every 10 seconds or so, 25 later the achievement pinged.
|Comment #32 by Schimpie
Friday, March 07, 2014 @ 01:38:58 AM
^ Exactly what I did. No need to keep one alive and all. New one pops up a few seconds after killing one.
Quite a bit easier than what's being said in the description.

I am currently working on Assassin's Creed and I am planning on trying this achievement sometime soon. I am planning on saving my current progress to USB and then restarting and doing the method mentioned by Moiety in comment 17. Wish me luck and I will confirm if this process works.

Thursday, March 13, 2014 @ 04:12:16 AM
I was about twenty guards in when they lost sight of me and the icon went from flashing red to flashing yellow (when you have to jump into a hiding spot or kill them all in order to vanish). Got pissed and thought it was reset but a couple guys later it popped, so to clarify any misunderstanding about what is considered a "single fight," as long as you don't get reinitialized it should be fine.
The Acre guard camp is where I got it. There are groups of four or five in each tent segment and I found they spawned pretty fast so kill a couple, break combat and sprint to the next camp, etc. etc. It's nice because the archers will keep you in combat if you go too far from anyone on foot.
|Comment #35 by Alemon
Monday, May 19, 2014 @ 03:20:24 AM
Memory Block 4 - Acre Assassination. The best option because you will have all the army from the target there and in case you assassinate the target during the fight, it will not reset the guards count.
|Comment #36 by Ral
Thursday, January 08, 2015 @ 10:42:49 AM
I hate this one more than anything. The highest I can get to, even near Acre, is 14. Then they run away, or I run out of nearby guards. It's really starting to piss me off!

Ban Ki Moon was refused a meeting with the detained democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi yesterday — an unpromising start to an important two-day visit to Burma by the UN Secretary-General.
In a risky move that will be denounced by human rights groups if it fails to achieve results, Mr Ban travelled to Naypyidaw, the ruling junta's remote new capital, to meet Burma's senior general, Than Shwe. The meeting with Ms Suu Kyi, which would have been at the heart of his visit, appeared to have been vetoed by the general because of her current trial over a bizarre

MINNEAPOLIS -- With their 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon, the White Sox completed a stretch of 19 games in 20 days. Sixteen of those games were on the road, with the only three at home coming in a sweep of the Twins last week at U.S. Cellular Field.
That Chicago managed to go 10-9 in the stretch, rebounding from a five-game losing streak to take seven of the past nine contests, struck manager Robin Ventura as a sign of the team's resiliency. That resiliency has been most notably displayed by the White Sox's starting rotation.
The team used eight different starters in those 19 games, trading their July 18 starter (Pedro Hernandez) for their July 30 starter (Francisco Liriano) last weekend. They gave left-hander Chris Sale a break from the rotation with a dead arm, and scheduled season-ending surgery for right-hander John Danks. But the staff soldiered on, heading into a day off with an eight-inning performance from Jake Peavy on Wednesday.
For the first time since the White Sox sent four players to San Diego in a trade for him in 2009, Peavy is on track to pitch a full season. He won his ninth game on Wednesday, lowered his ERA to 3.04 and threw 114 pitches, his lowest total in a start since throwing 109 on June 30.
If Chicago's staff has been resilient, the one setting the tone might be Peavy.
"I feel excited to be able to help up to this point," Peavy said. "It will be a satisfying season for everybody in this clubhouse if we find a way to win the (AL) Central. But it does feel gratifying to be healthy for the team, like I've wanted to be the whole time."
Once Sale returns, the White Sox will have to decide where to put Phillip Humber or Gavin Floyd -- a six-man rotation is possible -- but they have as much starting pitching depth as almost any team in the American League after trading for Liriano. Time will tell if the team's young pitchers will hold up, but there are worse ways to head into the final two months of the season than with a three-game division lead and six serviceable starters.
"It's not easy to go out on the road against some tough teams," Ventura said. "We held our own -- a little over .500. It's time to go home and win some games."

Though I'm as lazy as the next gal, I'm also convinced that Jesus invites his followers into something so much better than being off the hook. Specifically, he hooks us into adventure by opening our eyes to opportunities to serve in our neighborhoods, workplaces, campuses, and communities. Through the gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit, our eyes are opened to the teen at church who doesn't have any help at home as he applies to colleges. When our postal carrier delivers the wrong mail, we're reminded of the neighbor who's been living in a nursing home for the last six months. Or we hear from coworkers about a colleague who'll be out of work caring for a sick husband. The Spirit opens our eyes to the folks Jesus is longing to meet, love, and serve—through us. Jesus invites us to embrace a life of adventurous kingdom service that is marked by surprise, smallness, sacrifice, and spontaneity.
Who Are We to Serve?
I confess that when I think of service, too often my mind beelines to my worst nightmare: Martha-Stewart-style hospitality. Ick! Yuck! Blech!
When Jesus invites us to serve, though, he's not necessarily thinking of hosting folks like our pastors or wealthy neighbor or the head of the church missions committee who—if we're really lucky and play our cards right—can return the favor. In fact, the ones he describes and moves toward are most often lacking in any sort of social capital whatsoever.
In a story Jesus tells about who we're to be serving, he describes folks who are hungry, thirsty, sick, naked, imprisoned and often unknown to us—aka "strangers" (Matthew 25:35-45). Jesus says that when we serve those who are living on the world's margins, we're actually serving him: "The King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'" (Matthew 25:40). As we begin to recognize the face of Jesus in those we serve, the "stranger" is transformed into "friend" as he opens our eyes to see those folks we'd likely otherwise miss.
Nudged by the Spirit, we may notice, for the first time, the thirsty gardener who tends to the lawn on the campus of our workplace. Or when we go Christmas caroling at a local nursing home we might see, as if for the first time, those who are captive to debilitating circumstance. Or the Spirit opens our eyes to the young woman with an intellectual disability who bags our groceries every week, now waiting in the rain for a bus. The surprise of kingdom service is that God opens our eyes so that we notice folks in the daily rhythm of our lives that we've just never seen before.

This decking is splinter-free and requires almost no maintenance, except for the occasional cleaning. But it doesn't always look, sound, or feel much like wood. These decks also have complex fastening systems so the pieces can move as the temperature changes, but they squeak when you walk on them.
The 1.2" thick ForeverWood contains hollow channels to maximize stiffness. A hidden rubberized strip helps minimize noise and squeaking. The tongue-and-groove feature makes for easy installation and hides the screws so that you have a neat, uniform look. DeckoraWood is a similar material, but only 5/8" thick, so it can be placed over existing wood decks or concrete patios. The wood-grain on each material provides extra traction, especially when the deck becomes slick.

Together, they encouraged me to learn new things; and why now I can partly explain string theory.That being the case, I was extremely displeased to hear that were it up Romney, as President he wouldn't continue to support PBS.

Los Angeles is a behemoth or, better, an octopus, with tentacles stretching 468.67 square miles, a fact that shocked me when I moved here in 1990. That meant that it was bigger than the distance consumed by driving to and from Chicago from my hometown, Kewanee (150 miles southwest), and back again. I soon realized that one could easily live an entire lifetime in Los Angeles and never see it all. This also meant that so much was always going on, including really desirable events, many of which would most certainly be missed.
From the Big Kahuna: Yes, this is the front of the Virginia Theater in Champaign-Urbana, where Ebertfest is held every year. The old marquee was showing its age, and will be replaced by the time Ebertfest 2011 is held on April 27-30. Update: I read in the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette that the new marquee is still in design, but park officials expect it to be a better complement to the theater's Italian Renaissance-style architecture and resemble the 1921 original marquee. When concepts are finalized, they will go before the park board for approval.

Squares Strategy 2 Chess Training ProgramProduct Code: 15-969
Squares Strategy 2 Chess Training Program
Product Code: 15-969
Information from the Chessbase website:
Squares Strategy, Vol. 2:
The Opening The Bangiev way of thinking is a strategy based on squares. This means that before every move, the piece set-up is checked out against quite specific pre-defined criteria. The Bangiev-method does not develop your memory, but rather your thought processes: learn to understand the logic of the game by means of a few rules! In each phase of the game, you have to ask yourself the same restricted number of questions and then answer them. Once you have grasped the principle, you will be happy to realise how - after some practice - you can always find the best move yourself. You can test your progress by using grandmaster games; this is because grandmasters make use of the correct thought process, without perhaps realising that they are doing so! The second CD with Bangiev�s new method of training is dedicated to the opening. In a �Learning� database, the new method of training is presented by means of 11 chapters and 162 annotated game fragments. After that, in an interactive Training database, there are practice questions to be answered in 27 game fragments, thus making the training method your own through practice.

Results of a previous comparison study (A. Kumar and M. Stonebraker, 1987) between a conventional transaction manager and an operating system (OS) transaction manager indicated that the OS transaction manager incurs a severe performance penalty and appears to be feasible only in special circumstances. Three approaches for enhancing the performance of an OS transaction manager are considered. The first strategy is to improve performance by reducing the cost of lock acquisition and by compressing the log. The second strategy explores the possibility of still further improvements from additional semantics to be built into an OS transaction system. The last strategy is to use a modified index structure that makes update operations less expensive to perform. The results show that the OS will have to implement essentially all of the specialized tactics for transaction management that are currently used by a database management system (DBMS) in order to match DBMS performance
