Journey kit
It's common to change careers multiple times over the course of your working life. Career management is a journey, and there is no one set path. The journey kit can help you discover what motivates you, research career options, search for work and chart your career path—wherever it may lead!

Intro to career exploration
The career as a journey
The changing career landscape
The changing career landscape
When it comes to career outlook, the only thing certain is that everything is changing.
Did you know that...
- the average Canadian worker changes jobs every three years and changes occupations every five years?
- up to 80% of new jobs in 2010 didn't even exist 10 years ago, and 80% of jobs that existed 10 years ago are no longer around?
Check out "Where will you be?", a video by Jim Bright, to see how the changing world affects careers.
Focus on the journey
Focus on the journey
As a student, you might feel anxious about finding the "right" career or learning what the "hot" jobs are. However, because the job market is changing so fast, it can be tricky to decide on a path based on a list of "hot careers." Jobs that will be in demand by 2017 might not even exist yet!
Since the career landscape is so uncertain, the only thing you can count on is the journey—so it's important to enjoy it! Remember to keep an open mind about your career. It's common to change your mind about your career direction during university, and you'll have all sorts of experiences—both planned and unexpected—that may impact your career interests and choices in a major way.
What motivates you?
The best way to start your career exploration is to identify what motivates you and gets you really engaged in work. By understanding your "career motivators", you'll set yourself up to find career options that are the best fit for your personality and interests.
- Read the What are career motivators? - info sheet.
- Complete the Identify your career motivators - worksheet to identify your motivators.
- Check out the Overview of career exploration chart to see the overall picture of career exploration (and how discovering your motivators fits in!)
- Extra video resource: Watch Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us for an interesting take on career motivators.
Learn more about yourself
These resources can help you learn more about yourself, your likes and dislikes, and what interests and motivates you.

For the first issue of the new Scion AV Journal we asked some of the artists that Scion works with to tell us the best decision and worst mistake they made early in their careers. Here's what Karl Simon doom monsters The Gates of Slumber told us:
My Best Decision
Early on I decided to invest in decent equipment. When you get to a more pro level, everybody has it, but there's a reason everybody has it. When you get to the level of touring and releasing albums, you don't really see a lot of people on beater gear. People play vintage stuff, which is ridiculously expensive, but you don't see people on bad gear because it doesn't sound good. It doesn't have to be a $6000 guitar, but it has to be quality equipment. If you're a local band or doing covers in bars, it's fine, but when you start putting it under the microscope of recording, it just doesn't stand up. It's not bad equipment, it's just cheap. A carpenter doesn't use the tools you'd find at a drug store. He doesn't have a $4 hammer, he has a $50 to $60 fine finishing hammer because he uses it every day because he wants quality results.
My Worst Mistake
Not advancing shows on tour. Advancing means calling the promoter to reconfirm everything that's already contracted. If you're doing ten shows, you need to make ten phone calls two weeks out. Keep calling until you get an actual person on the phone. Let them know you're coming. Let them know you really meant that you wanted food. Run over the technical specs and run over that rider. Otherwise you might find yourself in the middle of nowhere with a promoter hardly honoring anything they promised you. I hate to attack promoters, but there are some people out there who I don't understand how they stay in business. When we first started, I figured that if I had it written on a contract and they signed it, then all of sudden, that was what was going to happen. I don't know if that was a mistake or if it was just ignorance, but if someone says to advance the show and you don't do it, that's a big mistake. If you're doing a self-booked thing playing a bunch of basement shows, you probably are going to have a great time, but that has a whole different ethos than working with a promoter who is expecting to make some sort of profit.

text: The main goal of this project was to test the speech recognition performance of BitVoicer (http://www.bitsophia.com/BitVoicer.aspx). For this purpose, I designed a simple led control sketch which I integrated with BitVoicer. Of course you can do anything you want once you have received the commands from Bitvoicer, but to keep things simple, I thought a led test would do just fine.

ActiveX made a good showing at the 2010 Endurance Sports Awards ride and expo this past Saturday. A number of Xers participated in the 200+ cyclists, 25 mile bike ride. Mike Reilly, Ricky Gray, Airey Baringer, Mark Warble, Marc Villaneueva, Tawnya Bardolo, Chris and Julie Barnwell, and Arch and Christy Fuston rode in the peloton with the likes of Craig Alexander (2009 Ironman Hawaii winner), Chris Lieto (2009 Ironman Hawaii runner-up), and Kristen Armstrong (world-champion trim trial). We got dropped.
Rebecca Divita (ETeams), Jim Garfield (M&M) and Tina Novak (Active) journeyed to Aspen for the winter X-Games. Thrills, chills and definite spills were had by all, including the three of us. Truly death deifying and gravity resistant tricks were the rule of the weekend….oh and a live concert by 50cent….
Orlando, FL, some of the ActiveGolf team went to Orlando for the 2010 PGA Show. The day prior to the show a group of us (Ben Cruise, Matt Kessler, Joe Pink and Don Cramer) were able to get in a round of golf at the new Waldorf Astoria Golf Club at Disney World (OpenCourse Client). The golf was unfortunately, well above par. However, it was a great time to catch up and enjoy the sport we are involved in.
Liz Harrell (Director, Product Management & Projects), Kat Keivens (Online Operations) and Jeremy Spitzberg (Development Manager, UI) rode the coast on a beautiful Sunday morning in Southern California. 26 miles from Solana Beach to Carlsbad and back. Gearing up for the Gran Fondo in a month!
Deborah Linggi, Director, Employee Communications -- New Year's resolutions to get/stay fit are still going strong. I taught packed spin classes on both Saturday and Sunday morning at 24 Hour Fitness.
On Saturday, Kat Keivens (Online Account Coordinator) ran in the Lake Hodges 5k Race along with some fellow Active Employees and finished with a time of 26:04.40. On Sunday Kat enjoyed a scenic 26 mile bike ride and played a soccer game.
Michele Crepeau Skied Vail sat, snow shoed at Beaver Creek Sunday, AMAZING:)
Toby Guillette, Social Media Specialist in San Diego, ran the Sun Strides Foundation Lake Hodges 5K on Saturday morning in 18:24 which was good for 8th place overall and 1st place in the 20-29 age group. It was great to celebrate at the finish line with fellow Active Weekend Warriors who also ran the 5K: Andrea Rishmawi, Giselle Domdom, Kat Kievens and Jason Johnson!

- Conference date: 1-4 November 1987
- Location: Atlantic City, NJ, USA
Reflectivity measurements using a dual spectral‐line (DSL) pump having variable spectral‐line separations and two different geometrically‐constrained SBS medium lengths are summarized. Good empirical agreement between the experimental data and a transient solution for SBS gain is obtained provided that the interaction length for SBS is chosen to be the shorter of either the dual spectral‐line beat length or the geometrically‐constrained effective medium length. Such an analysis of the data appears to remain valid even for dual spectral‐line separations large enough to violate the slowly‐varying envelope approximation. The correctness of choosing the beat length of the dual spectral‐line source as an effective pump coherence length for this analysis is discussed.

ELKINS, W.Va. (AP) - An inmate who admitted spitting on an officer at the Huttonsville Correctional Center has been sentenced to one year in prison.
Twenty-one-year-old Joseph Whitney Nomar was sentenced Wednesday in Randolph County Circuit Court on charge of battery of a government official.
The term will run concurrent with Nomar's current sentence. The Inter-Mountain reports Nomar is eligible for
parole in 2014 on a robbery charge.
Nomar has since been transferred to the Mount Olive Correctional Center.

Katy Perry's blonde haircut is disappointing to say the least! Finally we had a superstar who was a brunette and she had to go and ruin it. Sigh.
I know, I know, it's only hair. But I'm just a little ticked off that she feels the need to fit the mold of every other star. Britney, Christina, Lady Gaga, Pink – all of those girls have the lame bleached look. One thing I loved about Katy is that she is doesn't seem so fake. But wait…
This news comes to us via Bumpshack, who claims that she is actually a natural blonde!
The new look was revealed on MTV where she showed up for an interview this week.
Don't get me wrong – obviously I don't have a problem with her NATURAL hair color, I just think it was more empowering to girls who have a more believable look to see someone like her as a brunette. Plus it turns out she only went back to blonde because she is messing with different hair colors.
So, Katy, you're still okay with me. Take a look at the photos over at Bumpshack.
In other celebrity news:
Okay first we heard rumors about J-Lo cheating…now some people are saying it was actually her ugly hubby – Celebrity Smack!
Um, Kristen Stewart finally found a way to seem even more awkward –Celebuzz.
It turns out that we aren't the only ones who can't stand Chris Brown. Even his neighbors hate him! – TMZ.
So, why the heck are the Jersey Shore cast mates in The Three Stooges? – Too Fab.
Here is a rundown of the biggest cheaters in Hollywood – Stupid Celebrities.
This is weird. Justin Bieber wants to take a breather so he can just be a teen – I Need My Fix.
Here's another JB story.. some people say he will be proposing to Selena soon? – Hollywood Hiccups.
Celebrity imposters are apparently taking over! – PopEater
Check out Angelina out with her girls – Celebrity Baby Laundry.

In a research contract signed Monday, Sandia National Laboratories-California agreed to deliver within six months a prototype of an unattended water sensor to Englewood, Colo.-based engineering firm CH2M Hill and Tenix, the largest defense and engineering firm in Australia.
To succeed, Sandia scientists must turn a handheld chemical sensor developed for the military and emergency first responders into a machine that cheaply and reliably can sniff out dangerous toxins and germs twice an hour in water mains, tanks and pump houses.
They are places where natural, biological slimes grow and whitish mineral salts accumulate, frustrating earlier attempts at putting sensitive, real-time monitoring instruments into the nation's water and sewer systems. These fouling agents can complicate chemical analysis and clog the hair-thin, glass sample channels in Sandia's device, known as MicroChemLab.
"If they can solve that problem, great. But it's been a bugaboo for most people," said BruceMacler, risk assessor for water systems in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Pacific Southwest region.
"To be honest," he said, "I'll believe it when I see it."
So far, the only available real-time sensors for water quality are expensive and provide little direct information about pollutants.
and turbidity that allow water-treatment engineers to infer whether a kind of contamination exists in the water.
Sandia's device, if it works, would be the first to identify precise toxins or species of viruses, bacteria such as E. coli and protozoans such as cryptosporidium, implicated in multiple large outbreaks of diarrhea in the United States since the 1980s.
Tenix and CH2M Hill engineers became interested in Sandia's handheld detector two years ago after talking to the lab's scientists and attending their presentations at conferences. The lab itself has taken on water quality and availability as a national-security project, devoting its scientists to study of desalination and water treatment in the American West, Jordan, Israel, Egypt and, recently, Libya.
MicroChemLab originally was designed in the 1990s for the worst of biotoxins, the poisonous secretion of Botulinum clostridium, popularly known as Botox. In certain forms, undiluted, Botulinum toxin is the most deadly substance known.
"The one that really scares people is Botulinum toxin," said Yolanda Fintschenko, a bioanalytic chemist who manages microfluidics research at Sandia, as well as the new research agreement with CH2M Hill and Tenix.
Sandia's handheld detector is a miniaturized chemistry lab that uses a form of chromatography to identify botox and other toxins secreted by bacteria.
By breaking waterborne germs into their proteins the basic building blocks of organisms Sandia scientists expect the detector to grab a unique chemical "fingerprint" of each species of germ in the water and match it against a database of chemical patterns for pathogens.
The database and analysis software has to be very good, or the device will produce false alarms.
"It becomes very important to tell between cowpox and smallpox, even though they are very close, closer than twins, really," said Jay West, a toxicologist leading the project for Sandia.
"False positives don't do us any good. They could lead to the public losing confidence," said Tom Linville, assistant general manager for engineering at the Contra Costa Water District and chairman of an American Water Works Association committee on water plant security.
"We need something that will have a real water-quality benefit," he added, not "just something for security alone."
Almost immediately, officials at CH2M Hill will begin shipping refrigerated water samples from Denver, Albuquerque and 18 other U.S. cities for testing at Sandia's lab in Livermore.
"So we're going to get a look at water from all over the country," said Laura Santos, a Sandia business development manager.
Then, Sandia scientists will install their sensor in Concord, on Linville's water system, for the most rigorous test a full month of operation, sipping a few billionths of a liter of water every half hour for testing, without human involvement.
"We have to let this thing run a month on its own and not touch it," West said.
Scientists familiar with Sandia's sensor speculated that it may find germs in the nation's drinking water that managers of water systems never knew were there.
"If we start finding them, as I'm sure we will, the question is what to do with them," said EPA's Macler. "It could really lead to toughening our regulations."

Real Madrid's 2-0 home defeat in the Champions League semi-final, first leg against Barcelona in April 2011 was one of the most bitter of Mourinho's career. He was sent to the stands for complaining about the dismissal of Pepe and, in the post-match press conference, launched an astonishing diatribe, alleging a Uefa conspiracy and insisting that it was impossible for Real to progress because of refereeing "scandals" . . .
Sunday 1 May. Upon reaching Valdebebas the players were summoned by Mourinho to the dressing room and all the support staff — kit men, masseurs and medical staff — were asked to leave and close

"I went on the "Carbohydrate Addicts" diet!" -Leslie Curry, 31
Results: "I lost 6 pounds in four weeks, but I turned into a nightmare! You get to eat bread, pasta and really starchy carbs only once a day during a one-hour window, which made me anxious, almost desperate, for carbs. I would go nuts and eat two huge pieces of strawberry shortcake, pastries, anything! I gained the weight back within days of stopping. Try it again? Heck, no."
Reality check: "You'll lose weight when you virtually cut out a food group because you drastically reduce your calorie intake," Jibrin says. "But deprivation sets you up for cravings, and you're likely to overdo it. Once you eat more carbs after the diet, the pounds will come back on."
"I drank lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper." -Megan Crane, 35
Results: "I'd heard through friends the Master Cleanse was a spiritual experience. So for 10 days, I only drank lemon juice with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. You down it when you feel hungry but eat no food. You also take an herbal laxative. On the first day, I had headaches, and then I got stomach cramps. I lost 10 pounds, but I gained 5 right after I resumed eating. I'd never try it again. I prefer my relationship with food to involve the actual consumption of it."
Reality check: "This kind of diet is dangerously low in calories," Jibrin warns. "The concoction lacks some electrolytes needed to ensure proper muscle function. Because the heart is a muscle, you could be at risk for heart problems such as arrhythmia."
"For two weeks, I ate only rice cakes." -Tana Leigh Pierce, 22
Results: "I was a ballet dancer a couple of years ago, and for two weeks, I ate only one sleeve of cinnamon-apple rice cakes a day. I lost 10 pounds. But I stopped because, actually, I like food! I was able to keep the weight off because I was dancing so much, but I can't even look at rice cakes the same way."
Reality check: "This diet is one step up from eating cardboard," Jibrin says. "Rice cakes aren't only low in calories; they're among the most nutritionally devoid foods out there. She missed out on vitamins and nutrients, such as iron. She was basically living off her own body, breaking down muscle and fat for fuel, which is particularly harmful, as her body needed muscle to dance."
"For every meal, I ate only a bunch of grapes." -Louise Jang, 24
Results: "Five years ago, I ate nothing but red grapes three times a day and drank water. I lost 6 pounds in two weeks. But I got a little dizzy! After the diet, I started walking an hour a day and eating nutritious foods like vegetables to keep the weight off. I like my healthier lifestyle now and don't ever want to go back."
Reality check: "She was getting merely a few paltry vitamins and some sugar. It's no wonder she was dizzy," Jibrin says. "Not only do you raise the risk for abnormal heart rhythms by eating so little, but the body starts to take minerals like calcium from bones."
"I eat lunch at Subway five days a week." -Julie Graziano, 29
Results: "I order the same thing every day: turkey, veggies, salt and pepper and a little vinegar on a 6-inch sub. And I get a bag of Baked Sour Cream and Onion Lay's and a Diet Coke. I've lost 12 pounds in eight months! I don't have breakfast. (I know, it's bad.) I get healthy takeout for dinner. On the weekends, I eat basically what I want within reason."
Reality check: "Julie's diet isn't risky, but her lunch could use more calcium, fruit and veggies. I'd add a slice of Swiss cheese or a lowfat yogurt and swap the chips for fruit," Jibrin says. "Whole-grain waffles make breakfast easy; healthy takeout is OK, but she should vary the meals."

On successful completion of the initial three 20 credit modules you may exit the programme with the award of Postgraduate Certificate. On completing a further 60 credits you may exit with the award of Postgraduate Diploma.
Students acquire specialised knowledge in areas such as research analysis, probation and the prison system, policing and many others that may be useful to pursue a variety of positions within the justice system and enhance current and future career prospects.
The aim of this module is to develop your critical appreciation of both the different forms that crime takes and the different approaches to analysing its causes and effects.
The aim of this module is to introduce you to the contemporary criminal justice system and the associated themes, issues and dilemmas which impact on criminal justice policy.
The module has two main aims; first, to explore the inter-disciplinary nature of criminology and its relationship to different research agendas. Second, it aims to investigate the increasingly complex political and ethical contexts within which such research occurs.
The module aims to provide a critical and appreciative knowledge of the research methods used in the study of crime and the criminal justice system. It will provide you with an in-depth critical knowledge of both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.

The Right Frame of Mind for M&A: The Impact of Merger Characteristics on M&A Deal Frames
Libby Weber
University of Southern California - Management and Organization Department
February 14, 2010
According to agency theory, including performance-based consideration (earnout clauses) in the merger contract should align parent and retained target management incentives, leading to better merger performance. Yet, earnouts are frequently not paid out because retained target management fail to reach the performance milestones specified in the contingent provision. So, why does incentive alignment fail? The decision-making literature offers a possible explanation for the inconsistency. Prospect theory suggests that the performance contingent consideration in an earnout clause may be framed as a potential loss or gain, leading retained target management to display risk-seeking or risk-averse behavior. Risk-seeking or risk-averse behavior may positively or negatively impact merger outcomes, depending on the merger characteristics. In this paper, I examine whether specific merger characteristics, including parent's customer strategy and characteristics of the target's technology, impact if the M&A deal value is framed in terms of total consideration (earnout is perceived as a potential loss) or guaranteed consideration (earnout is perceived as a potential gain).

Eye-Catching Golf Gizmos
Part of the fun of any PGA Merchandise Show is scoping out the latest gizmos and gadgets.
The survival rate for the kookiest ideas is roughly that of baby Green Turtles, born in clutches of up to 200 but forced upon hatching to hike unprotected across the beach to the sea. Only a few make it.
Here are a few new gizmos that caught my eye today at Demo Day, the outdoor showcase event for new products at the Orange County National golf course outside Orlando.
The At-Your-Feet training aid.
Tap your foot and the message changes, letting you cycle through important swing thoughts. Invented by a guy who kept forgetting half the tips his instructor gave him.
The Spot-On Swing Plane training aid.
The green and red prongs are tubes of water with a bubble of air: carpenter's levels. By checking whether the bubbles are centered – in the green vial at address and in the red vial when your left arm is parallel to the ground – you can determine whether the plane of your swing is perfect.
Also, a great conversation starter at parties.
The Caesar golf ball.
It has no dimples, like the cue ball in billiards. Why? Because dimple-less balls don't spin as much, and thus don't curve out of play as readily. The downside is they don't fly as far as dimpled balls.
"It's great for golfers with slow swing speeds who want to hit it straight," the pitchwoman said. Slower swingers don't pay as much of a distance penalty because they don't hit normal golf balls very far, either.
The Free-Release Golf Shoe.
From Germany, these kicks are designed to reduce torsion in the hips, knees and ankles during the follow-through. The red plate on the sole stays planted but the upper part of the shoe spins out. It takes some getting used to, but does work as advertised.
The pitchman said the shoes are USGA legal, provided you have a medical reason. Still to be determined: whether you need an actual note from your doctor.
Simpac Cube drivers.
Much more square than the square drivers that were the hit of last year's show.
"These are the Cadillacs," said Shaun L. Smith, the company's marketing director. One advantage is that the straight contours help you line up correctly.
"Last year we were the ant at this show, then we were the beetle, and now we're the leapfrog ready to take off," Mr. Smith said.
The Smart Stick training aid.
Green lasers beam from two of this stick's three ends. When your swing in correctly on-plane, the beams will point to the aim line on the ground. Keeping the beams on track is a trick, especially in slow motion. I found it easier to accomplish at full speed.
The Explanar swing-plane training aid.
Not new this year, but always fun to play around with, like a grown-up Jungle Gym.
The stick you swing is actually a roller (much like a kitchen roller) that tracks along the frame and always puts you perfectly on-plane. The idea is to alternate between swings in the Explanar contraption and hitting a balls with your regular club.
"The roller actually stretches the muscle fibers and creates muscle memory," the pitchman said. Adjusts to every size, provided you're shorter than 6′ 8″ tall.

Seoul Warns of Malware in Game Downloads
South Korean police have warned that some online game downloads may contain malware intended to be used by North Korea in cyberattacks.
The warning came after the National Police Agency said Tuesday it had arrested a South Korean businessman for illegally trading in North Korean-developed online gaming programs that were found to contain malware for collecting IP addresses and other data from gamers' personal computers.
The collected data, transmitted to servers overseas, can be used for cyber terrorism like the distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attacks that have previously crippled thousands of South Korean computers, the NPA said.
The DDOS attacks are usually executed by malware-planted personal computers that turn out to be "zombie computers" unknowingly making a huge number of requests to targeted websites or networks, overwhelming their data-processing capacity and finally paralyzing them.
Cyberattacks crippled a number of websites run by South Korean state agencies, bank and new-media organizations in March and June this year—in both cases, Seoul blamed North Korea, which was also suspected of launching similar attacks in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Pyongyang denies engaging in any cyberattacks. But Seoul says thousands of hackers operate on North Korea's behalf.
"Online gaming programs—along with porn materials—are easy tools for North Korean hackers to choose because they are always available to the public," said an NPA official who asked not to be named.
In the latest criminal case, a North Korea hacker disguised himself as a software developer and offered to make online gaming programs for the arrested South Korean businessman at much cheaper prices than South Korean software developers, the NPA official said.
The North Korean-developed gaming programs, for which "thousands of dollars" had been paid by the arrested South Korean businessman, were all confiscated before spreading online, he said, adding if the programs had been developed by South Koreans, the price tag would have been much higher.
"North Korean hackers had a dual purpose—making money and preparing for cyberattacks," he said.

text: Since our last column in June, huge Union victories in the Civil War occurred. On July 1-3, 1863, the North had won the significant battle defeating Gen. Lee and decimating his army at Gettysburg. Also, in early July, the battle of Vicksburg was won by the North. Both were recorded as pivotal battles of the war. Locally, Confederate Gen. Morgan conducted his famous raid in Ohio in late June and early July in 1863. Since Wood County ended up being one of the targets of this crazy and fruitless raid, we will cover it in detail in a later column.

Repairs are well underway to fix the retaining wall at South Peak.
Crews spent Thursday digging dirt and bricks from the area.
Part of the retaining wall came tumbling down over the weekend due to a storm water pipe problem.
According to Roanoke County, crews will have to keep digging until they hit solid ground and then they can lay the brick again. It's expected to take less than two weeks to fix it.
Meanwhile, Roanoke County staff and engineers are trying to figure out a paperwork discrepancy on the project.
Both agree the final report on the wall was never submitted to the county. South Peak plans to file that report once the repairs are finished.
A storm water pipe caused a wall to collapse Saturday at the South Peak development in Roanoke County, according to the developer.
"The water issue is always a problem with the retaining walls, so it's important that we inspect the storm pipes that have been already installed to make sure they're not leaking," said Mike Circeo, the engineer responsible for the retaining wall.
The developer, Smith/Packett, says pressure from water in the storm drain storm drain pushed onto the block, which caused the facade to be pushed out. Engineers determined that there are no structural issues with South Peak's retaining walls, according to Smith/Packett.
"Right now the site is secure, the wall is sound, so I'm not anticipating any other types of problems," Hunter Smith with Smith/Packett said.
A safety fence is being built at the bottom of the hill to protect drivers on U.S. Route 220.
Repairs and clean-up are expected to take two weeks. The repairs will not impact construction of the Hilton Garden Inn that is being done above the wall.
Smith/Packett says that it's possible that a small amount of debris may come loose during rain this week, but they expect the impact to be minimal.
Here is the full statement about the cause of the wall collapse:
A thorough investigation by engineers over the weekend determined that a small section of the retaining wall gave way as a result of a storm water pipe. Pressure from the water in the storm drain pushed onto the block, causing the facade of the wall to be pushed out. Engineers determined there is no structural issues with the South Peak retaining walls.
As a precaution, a safety fence has been constructed at the bottom of the slope to protect motorists along U.S. 220. The area is secure.
Repairs and clean-up have begun and are expected to be completed within two weeks. This will not impact construction of the Hilton Garden Inn now under way above the wall.
Smith/Packett is committed to doing all that is necessary to maintain a safe and functional development and we will continue to carefully monitor the retaining wall as well as the rest of the construction at South Peak. It's possible a small amount of already impacted debris may come loose during this week's forecast rain, though the effect is expected to be minimal.
Engineers in the private and public sector are still trying to figure out what caused a wall to collapse in Roanoke County.
Roanoke County officials were forced to shut down parts of Routes 220 and 419 near Tanglewood Mall Saturday, following the collapse of a retaining wall at the South Peak development.
Callers told police that they saw rocks falling on the roadway.
WDBJ 7 spoke with witnesses Sunday.
"Never really seen anything like that so to be where it was when it happened it was pretty interesting," said Jessica Wade.
Wade witnessed the collapse Saturday as she was having lunch at the iHop across the street from South Peak.
"All of a sudden everyone gasped and turn around and look and the walls gone," she said.
WDBJ 7 reached out to Charlotte Moore on Sunday regarding the collapse.
Moore represents the Cave Spring district on the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. She wasn't available for an on camera interview, but told WDBJ 7 she was surprised to see the damage.
She said the county is in the process of making sure the wall is properly fixed.
A lot of controversy surrounded South Peak before the county gave the green light on the project. Nearby residents said construction has been slow on the site up until now.
"I'm not saying that had anything to do with the wall, but it does seem like there were some shortcuts that got us to this part," said Alan Wade.
No word yet on the extent of damage done to either the roadway or the wall surrounding the property.
A building inspector and the developer, Smith/Packett, are trying to figure out what caused the wall to collapse and are taking all steps necessary to prevent further damage.

Serpent Emblem written/video guide!
Ill be doing one video for each campaign showing you where all the serpent emblems are. Ill post them as I pull them up on our YouTube page. I hope you find this useful. If anyone would like to use my videos for a guide/roadmap you may do so on Xbox360a. If you have any questions for me it would be easier for you to just private message me.
Chapter 1
1 Right after you meet Robert, the man who lost his daughter, youll start off in front of a door with an exit sign above it. Turn to your left immediately where there is an open door to a close. Shoo the emblem inside.
2 When you are grabbing the keycard for the gate youll run into some offices. Check all the drawers to find the next emblem.
3 Youll be running for a long time down in the sewer areas and after you open a door at the bottom of the stairwell. Jump down and look right underneath the train for the emblem.
4 Theyll be double doors at the exit of the bar, before going in turn to your left to see the emblem near the wall.
Chapter 2
1 The cemetery path leads to an uphill slop with a wooden fence to your left and stone wall on the right. Stop at the bottom of the slope and turn left moving into the cemetery. Look for small headstones and obelisk next to a tree. On the back side of the obelisk youll find the emblem.
2 As soon as you are in the cathedral walk up to the hidden staircase and throw your partner up on broke ladder to the right. After they put the stairs down make a u turn on the right and check out the stain glass window at the cathedral entrance.
Side note: You can also get this when you place the statues on the third floor.
3 - While in the laboratory Helena will start searching for someone and while you follow her in her panic youll come across a bath room in a corridor section. Drain the sink and the emblem will be there.
4 In the alter youll need to crawl under two archways. Right after the second one look to your left to see a tall clay pot. Father behind the pot youll see the emblem sitting at the edge of the cave.
Chapter 3
1 Right at the start of the level before you go through the doors take a look behind you on your left. The emblem will be up top.
2 Youll find yourself walking in water, but will soon come across dry land. Inside one of the sarcophagus youll find the emblem.
3 After jumping across rocky platforms youll find start walking down narrow bridges that you can fall over on. Stop near a small clay pot and across the far cave wall in the emblem. You had to fling your partner across to open up the bridge as well.
4 After being attacked by the fish youll swim up to a platform near a broken gate. To the right of you is a ladder you can climb. Cross the bridges that lead to a stone block tunnel. There are broken crates along the walls and on the right side the emblem will be in one.
Chapter 4

4 In the market take your first right where youll notice a dead body. Take a few steps past him and turn right to find the emblem in a small shop on the counter top.
Chapter 5
1 When you run into the building look right of the stairs to find the emblem on a shelf.
2 Remember when you started the chapter and the dead solider in the military vehicle comes to life? Look behind you and in the back of the truck is the emblem.
3 After you survive the helicopter crash and it falls through the glass on the zombies youll face a double door. Look over the right-hand railing where youll see some shelves and at the bottom is the emblem.
4 Youll be on the rooftop where Simons is trying to kill you in his weak state. After you take care of him youll go through the door to find some stairs leading up. Look below the stairs to the left where youll find the last emblem for Leon.
Chapter 1
1 When you run inside the first tenement building youll see an emblem on the back shelves of butchery.
2 - Youll find this in the corner that is made by two book shelves behind a breakable crate.
3 When you reach the roof climb the highest part of the area, that is a building connected by a small wooden bridge in front of you. The emblem will be behind you on top of one of the post risings under construction a distance away.
4 - This is on the sixth level in the center aisle in another butcher shop to the left. Youll find it behind the counter.
Chapter 2
1 When Fin is setting the charges on the train take a left in the rail yard. In the far-right corner youll find the emblem inside the building. Be quick, because there will be quite a few enemies.
2 You have to play as Pier! Once you shoot the oil tank and you are leaving the bunker look at the first beam on the left side. It is close by the stairs, but you may have to scope it out a bit to notice it.
3 This is when you go inside of city hall. There are two stairs that meet up in the middle, but go around them in the corridor to find the emblem hanging on the wall.
4 Right after you meet Ada go in the room straight ahead to find the emblem on the cabinet.
Chapter 3

Jake Serpent Emblem Guide
Chapter 1
1 After the helicopter shoots down a couple of men in front of you, youll go down the path to the left and above the door is your emblem.
2 Youll come across a bridge that you can fall off of that leads to a metal door. The emblem will be on a vertical beam that is connected to the bridge and you should be able to see it from a distance as well.
3 You must be playing as Sherry! Ustanak will chase you into a building where you will lose him. To the left there will be a bathroom and youll see a green herb across the other side. Have Jake throw you up, turn around and shoot the emblem.
4 After you leave the underground area youll walk down a passage way to lead you outside. The wall directly ahead will have the emblem on top of it. You should be able to see it from a distance.
Chapter 2
1 Next to one of the memory devices in the timber yard is a carne that has the emblem on its seat.
2 This is right by another memory device, sort of. Behind the house on the cliff is a radio that has the emblem on top of it. It may be a little hard to see with all the snow flying around.
3 This one may be hard to get. While you are trying to out run the avalanche you need to run through a cave to lose it. Slightly to the right of the cave you need to hit the emblem with your snow mobile before you go in.
4 When you are in the cave trying to be quite as possible youll need to make a lot of noise for this one. There is a small maze with a few of those bugs with the light that surrounds them patrolling the area. At the end of that area is a water tower with the emblem on it, which is really easy to see. However, when you shoot it Ustanak will hear you and run after you. Be sure to run to the dumpster at the end without the rocks in it, because it is the only one you can hide in.
Chapter 3
1 You must be Jake to get this! Once you use the camera system to help Sherry get though the facility use the camera control to shoot the emblem that is on top of the shelves in the waiting room.
2 After you get your clothes on you will find yourself in a large room with stairs going to the right. Instead, go to the door in front of you where the emblem will be resting at an angle on some shelves.
3 A tank will bust through the main door when you are trying to leave. Remember the statue you put the coins into? Well, wait for the tank to blow it up and the emblem will be in the center of the ashes of it.
4 Youll run out into a water area where the tank will come through the wall. In front of you are some stone stairs and behind them will be the emblem.
Chapter 4
1 You must be Sherry to get this! During the motorcycle chase youll slide under a tanker so you can blow it up with the helicopter hovering over it. Before you shoot the tanker look left and upward to spot the emblem.
2 Youll be running down an alley, and while you are going down youll see two crates and youll see a truck and a car on its side with a barricade by it. Behind it will be the emblem on a car windshield.
3 After falling to the street, turn around and walk toward a taxi. Turn to the right where youll find the emblem on the newsstand in the corner.
4 On this same street on the other side Jake will throw Sherry up to the next level. Turn to the right and look down to spot emblem on another newsstand.
Chapter 5
1 Once you grab your gear go back to the room you were just in and shoot the emblem near the vent Sherry went through.
2 While you are in room E youll find yourself in a refrigerated lab in the center of the area. Shoot through the glass to hit the emblem.
3 While you are fighting Ustanak on the lowest area, run around to the two crates at the end of the far extension. Look a little past it at the column on the other side where youll notice the emblem sitting there.
4 After the battle youll start walking out and you should see a huge tanker in front of you. Look to the right of the tank and hit the emblem. You wont have a gun, but you can still melee it.

3 As the sub is flooding and you are running for your life! Youll be running down the hallway and to the bottom left there will be a gap you need to crawl under. If you have to go this way anyways to turn the valve, but before you go up the ladder shoot the emblem to the right of it.

4 You jump down into a sewer area below the lab and immediately turn around to see the emblem on the wall.
Chapter 3
1 Near the start you run down the main street there will be stalls full of trinkets for people to buy. On the left side one of the stalls has the emblem inside on its right wall. It may be hard to view at first because of all the clutter.
2 After finding the first one and running around through the alley take the first right down the next street, and take another right after that. The emblem will be on a road block.
3 When you are on top of the bus fighting the maniac with the chainsaw it will be going back and forth. When the bus stops pull out your machine gun and shoot the emblem on the left attached to the building.

4 The first time Carla shows her face right by a door it will try to eat you. Stun her with a few shots, but instead of going down the door take a left around the giant looking servers to find the emblem.
Chapter 5
1 Right when you start to help Leon in the chopper look to the yellow truck on the left and in its bed is the emblem.
2 Youll be fighting an attack helicopter one on one, move down to the right and shoot the emblem on top of the sign.
3 Youll be shooting zombies saving civilians on top of a roof. On the second roof take a look to the left of it and youll see the emblem.
4 Once you land the chopper you need to grapple to object hanging to there to get you to the other roof. Head on down to the end of it and look to the right and facing down on the building on the other side is the last emblem.

Chris is now up.
Also, I really don't appreciate people throwing up other guides on mine. If you want people to go to that one make your on thread about it. I find that to be rude.

I've going thru the campaigns again as I missed some emblems. My question is when I find an emblem, will it save automatically or will I need to finish the chapter or get to a save point for the emblem to count?
Thanks in advance!

Happy Halloween Everybody! Do you have your costumes yet... do they need any tweaking? I am going to be Snow White. I already went to one Halloween gathering and a little girl was convinced I was the real thing and asked if she could"meet me." Kids are so fun and cute! I fell in love with this little illustration from Heidi Burton. I hope you have a fun filled weekend.

wall of little pumpkins
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
I saw this wall of little pumpkins via flickr and fell in love. I think this would be the most interesting backdrop for a dessert bar or anywhere outside with all your halloween decor.

varsity soccer cupcake toppers
Monday, October 25, 2010
I made these for a client a couple days ago... Everyone loved them! She took them to their dinner the night before the final game. Also, you could take them to the final game. I packaged them in white boxes so it was easy to transport. I think they turned out perfect! These will be available in the Wants and Wishes Etsy shop soon.

brownie mint oreo icecream cupcake
Thursday, October 21, 2010
When I saw these mint oreo icecream cupcakes... I knew I had found a winner! Don't they look divine!!!! I love mint and chocolate together. It has a brownie base (another favorite I can't resist) with mint icecream piled high. Right before serving add whipcream, then drizzle some fudge sauce and add a mint oreo and candle (which are Walmart... yes these same ones for only $1.99). For Erica's recipe visit Erica Sweet Tooth here!
These would be great for a birthday or halloween and what is great about this recipe is it can be made way ahead of time!

pumpkin house
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
I love these pictures. They give just a magical feeling of fall. This is were I would go to select my pumpkin that I would carve. I just arrived in Utah and am getting in the fall mood instantly, with the leaves changing and crisp air. Living in Southern California you just don't get the autumn/ fall season. I miss it!!! I guess I will have to live through these beautiful pictures.

Don't you love this house! I do! I think it is adorable.

Wants and Wishes Tip: I know these are little cakes but if you are running out of time... I think ding dongs would work just as good. Just whip up some frosting in different colors and you can make your own mini Halloween cakes in no time. This would also be a fun project/ craft for a Halloween party.

Halloween decor
Thursday, October 7, 2010
Now lets get back to Halloween decorating fun. There is still alot of work to do and things to prepare. Here are some fun inspirations on how to transform your house for the halloween!
{via:: bedifferentactnormal }
This is a simple and inexpensive way to bring down your ceiling. Hang plastic trick or treat lanterns from the ceiling at varying heights. Pictured above are those typical plastic pumpkin pails... just spray paint them the color of your event or multiple colors. The possibilities are endless. If you are getting really adventures you can cut out the face of the jack-o-lantern and place a battery operated candle and light your party by hanging jack-o-lanterns.
{via:: bhg}
Transform your windows this Halloween season by adding "temporary" valences and molding to your windows or you can make these crepe paper curtains. Both would be perfect for the Halloween season.

dinosaur birthday party
Wednesday, October 6, 2010
We interrupt this Halloween inspiration for a dinosaur inspiration board. One of my readers, Jann {hi Jann} asked what I would do for a dinosaur birthday party for her little boy. It spark something... so many people are seeking inspiration for a particular birthday party theme- so I'm starting a new series. Simply email me if you are seeking inspiration for a particular party theme and I will do the research and post it up on my blog.... so ask away.
These are my findings for a dinosaur party.
option A:: I would do these invitations available in our shop (it also comes in a purple & green color scheme)
option B:: Have your little guy draw a dinosaur for each of his guest, inviting him to come to his dinosaur party!
These are my findings for a dinosaur party.
{via:: lpb.org}
I would make these dinosaur cupcakes or you could put a mini dinosaur on top for an older crowd or for those who don't want to create dinosaurs from hand...
I would also make these fossil dinosaur cookies.
On the tables I would have these dinosaur terrariums.
{favors + activities}
I would make these dinosaurs in a rock. You can either make them at the party and have your guest take them home to dry or have them already made and have each kid break one open and discover what's inside.
I would give these crayon dinosaurs as a favor. Aren't they soooo cool. (I know I sound like a kid, but I fell in love with them when I saw. They are a must have for sure!!! I want! I want! I want!)

A ghoulish halloween night
Tuesday, October 5, 2010
I just love the feeling of this photo... isn't it the perfect ghoul halloween night with the dusty blue/grey sky lit by the warm orange glow of lanterns strung from spooky twig trees. You could recreate this look easily for Halloween night! All your friends and neighbors would be enchanted as they walked up to your home. The outside is the first place to start your atmosphere.
via:: ffffound
Don't you love the dark grey spiderweb cheesecloth draped over the window.... It adds so much to the ambience. You could also make a garland of crows (which would be easier to hang up!)

Halloween planning begins!
Friday, October 1, 2010
So the festivities begin.... your Halloween decorations come down from the attic and out of your cupboards. Now the decision you have to make is which way are you going this year with you Halloween decor. Are you have a Spooktacular Mansion, A Vampire Dungeon or a Upscale Classic Halloween.
Photos from WantsandWishes
Halloween doesn't have to be difficult. This is a very simple display with a big effect. Find some candles or even plastic pumpkin (these pumpkin candles are 12" wide and 12" tall and the 18" tall). Find a low platter or tray and fill with fun seasonal candy like candy corn or the pumpkin candy corn or even orange gumballs.... and then your finished. Put next to a lit tree and you have your entry way done or part of your desert table complete!

Out against Murray
13.10.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger was defeated 4-6, 4-6 by Andy Murray in the semis of the Shanghai Masters today.
Roger had trouble with his serve on numerous occasions today, committing three successive double faults in the middle of the opening set. He did manage a re-break to make up for the loss of his opening serve to level at 1-1, but Murray secured another break to take a 3-2 lead which proved enough to capture the first set. The second set started with a seemingly interminable opening game (18 minutes). Murray scored the first break - after a 40-0 lead on Roger's serve - to again take a 3-2 lead and finally the match.
Murray and Djokovic will play each other in tomorrow's final.
im not sad,angy.... i know myself at the moment ... i'm really satisfied with federer's milestones in 2012 , as roger said: YEC is bonus , yes and i guess any record from now on is just a bonus , cuz all the mandatory records were either got broken or levelled at least by the maystro , though still we have 1000 wins, 600 hard court wins, breaking McEnroe's No. of titles(77?) .... etc
That rally with Andy yesterday Roger showed us all who the true champion is, in awe of your technique
You did what you could, let´s go to next one, thanks you for everything
Just now read a very-2 special poem on Roger Federer celebrating 300 weeks as ATP # 1 ------
Allez Roger, you are always our Number 1 :))))))))))))
Allez Roger, you are always our Number 1 :))))))))))))
you become so fragile in front of andy and we cannot withstand this with much ups and dawns you have to know there millions of fans want you to try harder er not like you did with very weak serve ,a lot of UF and you finally added DFs how could you win
I am not surprised,right from the beginning you didn't play well in this tournament
Your main weapon completely failed, there is a problem, you know it, please work hard to overcome the problem. We want you to remain as No1 till you retire, we know you are capable if you play your normal game with confidence and determination. Wish you all the best in Basel
Your main weapon completely failed, there is a problem, you know it, please work hard to overcome the problem. We want you to remain as No1 till you retire, we know you are capable if you play your normal game with confidence and determination. Wish you all the best in Basel
For a last minute decision to play Shanghai the results are pretty satisfactory considering it boosted the number of weeks to 300 (I mean THREE HUNDRED!!!!!). Everything else is a bonus. Look at it as a warm up for Basel and the rest of the hard court season. ALL THE BEST!!
A bad day at the office against Murray - but congrats on 300 weeks at number one. I was more disappointed with the way you tried to make something of the rain to break the opponent's rhythm. There is no need for such a gret plqyer to stoop to such depths. Good luck in Basle Roger. Always be sporting.
you did not do your best

Saturn's Line of Sight
Saturn's Line of Sight
|Saturn's moon system: Iapetus, Mimas, Rhea and Tethys. Image Credit: NASA/JPL
As shown in the banner image, details observed in Saturn's south polar region demonstrate that this area is far from featureless. Lighter colored clouds dot the entire region, which is dominated by a central, sharply-defined circular feature. Movie sequences in which these features are captured and followed will allow wind speeds in the polar region to be measured.
This image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft's narrow angle camera on May 20, 2004, from a distance of 22 million kilometers (13.7 million miles) from Saturn through a filter centered at 750 nanometers. The image scale is 131 kilometers (81 miles) per pixel. Contrast in the image was enhanced and magnified to aid visibility.
On July 12, the Cassini spacecraft emerged from behind the Sun after being in a week-long solar conjunction since July 5. The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired from the Deep Space Network's Goldstone tracking station near Barstow, Calif., on July 12. The spacecraft is in excellent health and operating normally.
Just before Cassini began its transit behind the Sun, it snapped pictures (right) of Saturn's moons: Mimas, Tethys, Rhea and Iapetus.
Solar conjunction occurs when the Sun is between the spacecraft and Earth. During this time, the spacecraft conducts only limited science observations. Command and downlink capability is reduced to a minimum, with an uplink command file consisting of 10 commands sent every five minutes, 10 to 20 times a day. The purpose of this test is to assess the spacecraft's ability to receive commands from Earth when the signal path goes so close to the Sun.
