Well, weeks went by with no reponse from Mr.Scharft or his company until I finally called and and his VP, Michael Hathman, answered my call who by the way is an extremely rude man. He told us we would have to bring or fax all the paperwork into their office. So we wait a few days a then go to their office.
When we got there Mr.Scharf starts rambling on about how this takes time and starts talking about other people's cases, which we could care less about. All we want him to do is do what he promised us in the beginning. Then he starts telling us we need to buyu this prepaid leagal thing every month or retain a lawyer for another $250.00 to have a letter sent and basically scare them into removing the negative items off his report.
At this point I am getting extremly aggravated and pissed off. How dare he tell us to do all this crap! I then ask him if he would provide us with at least 3 references of other clients he had completed credit repair services for. He just look at me dumbfounded and said we have plenty of people we have helped. I told him to prove it. All of a sudded his VP, Michael Hathman, starts screaming at me. I thought the man was going to attack me, I was scared to death. All over asking a question? He starts yelling telling us to get out of his office and them says he will sue us for slander and harrassment. How he would do that is questionable, as we did nothing wrong.
I them tell him we want our money back. So as we are walking out of his office I tell him we are contacting Fox 2 News, Elliot Davis, the you paid for it guy. Which I have written and called him since this happened. This makes him more irrate.
Since this has happened I have found out we are not the only ones who this compnay has try to take money from and not do what they say they are going to do. Our Agents lawyer has filled a petition with tState of Missouri for us to get our money back. Hopefully these people won't be able to do this to anyone else. I hope this ruins them!

Smart Solutions did receive payment for ONE person - $500.00 which is a single person charge for our Platinum Program. Christina's claim that we would remove all the derogatory iformation from his credit report is false, over promissory and ridiculous. Only the major credit reporting bureaus and creditors hold this power - however, we will make every good faith effort to influence the chances that the derogatory information will be deleted after "verification" by the creditor(s) and credit reporting bureaus is completed within a 30-day time period. Obviously, and unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases some derogatory information will remain reporting. In some cases, it is wise to have an attorney send a letter to the creditor to demand proof or quit reporting or be sued if they do not comply with the attorney demand. The client (as well as Christina) was advised to use an attorney letter to get this accomplished. Christina completely ignored this advice. As a matter of fact, Christina assumed a combative, argumentative and very rude posturing from the very beginning of our meetings and would not change this terrible, riduculous attitude even when Steve or myself addressed her with a civil, kind tone. Obviously, it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to deal with anyone who has this attitude. Since she never paid, had a horrendous attitude I (at first) kindly asked her to leave. SHE REFUSED TO GO. I felt that this was somewhat psychotic to say the least. I raised my voice, and in a terse and loud manner, demanded she leave the office. Never once did I commit assault and/or battery against Christina Kraft as a matter of fact, the whole time I was 10 FEET AWAY! I don't think that when someone is visiting another person's place of business, that displaying such an attitude is appropriate or necessary. Professional decorum is always best.
Smart Solutions corresponds (and corresponded with this client) on a regular basis. Any calls are normally returned within 1 business day. The process of restoring and improving credit does take time not a day or two like Christina believes to be the case. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the investigation period alone IS 30 DAYS this doesn't include mailing time, processing time or the order in which bureaus receive responses. Many times the process may take 45 to 120 days and in severe cases, up to 18 months to restore a client's credit. The legal protection plan is $17 per month an excellent value considering a single letter from an attorney can cost the attorney's client up to $250 per letter to send.
Christina is not entitled to any references considering SHE NEVER MADE PAYMENT. Also, I cannot give references to anyone as this is against GLB (which is a Federal Privacy Law). However, Smart Solutions does do their business ethically and with a Christian-Based philosophy. Smart Solutions always deals fairly and completely honestly with all clients who enroll for our services and we shall continue to do so to the very best of our ability.
Since services were rendered, no refund is due or warranted. However, Smart Solutions shall still continue to service the client if he so wishes. Finally, if Christina continues contacting any news organization or commits any type of slander, it will be answered by lawsuit AND A LAWSUIT WILL BE FILED against Christina by the end of 2009. Let this response shall also constitute a warning to anyone who damages this company, myself or Steve WE WILL FILE A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST ANYONE WHO SEEKS TO DO US UNJUSTIFIABLE HARM.

Udupi plant stops power generation
By Avinash Bhat | ENS - BANGALORE
Published: 26th January 2013 08:00 AM
Last Updated: 26th January 2013 08:00 AM
The Udupi Power Corporation Limited (UPCL) on Friday stopped power generation in both its units due to a shortage of coal. The thermal power station has two units of 600 MW capacity each.
According to sources, coal shipment has been delayed resulting in the shortage. They said the state owes UPCL money. "UPCL has stopped power generation following an ongoing case before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), Delhi. UPCL has asked for its tariff for power sales to be raised to `4.50 per kWh," a source said.
The government has been paying `3.127 per kWh and had stated before the CERC that this was a provisional figure decided on by the government. The next hearing is on February 7.
"Yes, they have not generated power today. There is a tariff determination pending before the CERC. We will compensate (for power shortage)...by ramping up production in our hydel and thermal units," said KPTCL MD S Selvakumar.
A major chunk of the power generated is routed to Bangalore and this may lead to a power shortage and consequent load shedding in the city over the next few days.
"Of the 1,200 MW capacity of UPCL, Bangalore gets around 500 MW of power. This is around 20 per cent of the total supply we receive. There are also some water reserves which can be used," said BESCOM MD P Manivannan.

Every single expert has picked the Chargers to win the super bowl, they are good but I don't think they are great. They won 11 straight I get that, but are they really that good?
The running game is average at best. Their defense is middle of pack.
I don't understand this love fest for them....
During their streak they won 6 games by 7pts or less and they played KC twice during that streak. They beat 3 playoff teams during their streak.
I don't think they will get out of the Division rd vs NE. That's just me but I never liked SD since 95.

There was this lovely lady that had came from oversea
She had a lot of relatives and one of them was me
She told me stories about Hitler and how she went in jail
Because she loved a Serbian but yet she would never fail
She came back to America with some family, and left her friends,
And lived through a tragic lifestyle with a heart that wouldn't mend
She started to lose some children first Pete, Danny and Mike
Now it's down to 9 kids something that we all don't like
We all had our great memories and thank God that they will last,
Because just the other night that lady had just passed.
That lady was my grandma, someone everyone adored
Losing her is like it's over, but now she's with the Lord.
There's a lot about my grandma that I know I'm going to miss,
Just the simple things like a hug and a kiss.
Or even things she'd say, as I'd walk into the door,
'Hey you little rats, but them I miss her even more.
Also, even sometimes when you'd make her say the third
She would yell at you for making fun of her because she'd say the "turd".
Those are something's you can't forget, the memories that we had,
And that's all that can keep us going, keep us going from being sad.
Just remember when you're down, that she will never part,
Because forever is where she'll stay forever in our heart
In three days, it will have been a year since my grandmother died. I miss her more than anything. She had been fighting with cancer for over 10 years and each time it knocked her down, she...

This was a good marinade. I used it on boneless chicken breasts and broiled them instead of grilling. I thought the tanginess from the lime juice was too intense, and I think DD agreed by exhibiting her little puckered face. On the other hand, DH thought it was perfect. For those with similar taste buds to mine, I would recommend reducing the lime juice by half (1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup). Thanks for sharing this recipe! (Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #42)
Great marinade! I used it on chicken wings and thighs, which I baked. Great flavors and chicken was really moist. Think this would be good on a firm white fish also, such as halibut. I will try it again on grilled chicken.
This was a great marinade! This is the first time I ever cooked so I was a little nervous but it turned out great!

Editor's note: Mike Glick is a singer song writer and friend of Pete Seeger who said "he was one of the best song writer's going."
Ah Pete, I somehow thought you were like the Sequoia
And that your roots would just get deeper and stronger and keep on growing
You sheltered us and your many branches nurtured us, making us a home and a growing community
You stood - and still stand (always) for every decent, kind and caring impulse of the American people
The desire for fair play, a chance for a better life for all, a celebration of our differences and similarities
Quintessentially American, your message still carried to all parts of the world
Even as I once brought your words and their message of peace and friendship in a small cassette to friends at a festival of song in Calcutta
They carried such meaning to people half way around the globe, these "children" of Satyajit Ray - as we are all your "children"
You were, and are our Mandela - our shining light to point the way
And your roots will continue to grow and spread farther and deeper
With More love, More peace, More freedom, More justice
And as the journey deepens and grows
"Precious friend, you will be there" Siempre y Presente!

Johnson- Nancy S. Attorney - McCook, NE - Phone: (308) 345-1600
The lawyers in McCook who deal with family law, adoption, divorce or dissolution are particularly concerned with issues by which a valid marriage is ended and the judge distributes the marital property owned by the parties, orders spousal support if appropriate, makes child custody orders, and orders child support by one or both the parents. Also such lawyers deal with adoptions in cases where a parent wishes to bring up an orphan. Many registered lawyers with specialization in the section of Adoption, Divorce & Family law are found in McCook. But keeping in mind the sensitivity of the issue, one must be careful while hiring one such lawyer who would deal with the matter in the best possible way.

I don't know if this trick is already on here or not but you can get the Jewel Knuckles before obtaining the mist in the Castle's Outer Wall. There is a room right above this room that you break the bottom left of the wall to obtain a potroast. After you break the wall if you hold up for 10 seconds or so, a floating platform will appear and take you to the room below. This makes the beggining of the game way easier because the Jewel Knuckles are fairly powerful that early in the game.

When President Barack Obama addresses the nation on Iraq, the Oval Office setting will be sporting a new look.
There's a new rug made and donated by the Scott Group, which is based in Grand Rapids, Mich., new wallpaper, chairs and a new coffee table. The White House allowed photographers to get a glimpse Tuesday ahead of the scheduled 8 p.m. speech.
Presidents typically put their own touch on the Oval Office early in their terms. Obama's makeover took place while he was vacationing with his family on Martha's Vineyard, Mass.

Lionel Messi may have 'staged' Argentina retirement - Diego Maradona
Diego Maradona has suggested Lionel Messi "staged" his retirement from international football after Argentina lost the Copa America Centenario final to Chile earlier this summer.
Messi, 29, called time on his Albiceleste career after a third final defeat in as many years, following losses to Germany at the World Cup in 2014 and Chile in the Copa America last year.
However, he has since reversed his decision and forms part of new manager Edgardo Bauza's first squad for next week's World Cup qualifiers...

Coronation Street's Hayley Cropper can be seen overcoming a childhood fear of puppets, in the first of a special exclusive online video series called Hayley's Diary.
After her terminal cancer diagnosis, Hayley is determined to work through a 'bucket list' of wishes, tackling things she's always wanted to do or achieve in her life.
Launching on Monday September 30 at 9pm, the video series gives a rare glimpse into Hayley's world, as she does everything she can to celebrate her life.
In the first part, Roy tries to make Hayley smile with an impromptu puppet show. But absolutely terrified of the dolls, Hayley recoils in fear.
"I went to a Punch and Judy show when I was little in Morecombe, and they terrified me. It was so rough and violent and I thought, 'I hope I don't grow up like that.'"
Supportive Roy won't let his wife back out though and encourages her to overcome her fear, as he takes centre-stage and puts this thespian skills to the test, in a hilarious clip.
There are three exclusive online videos showing Hayley as she continues ticking off her wish-list, with a camping trip with a difference and a visit to the boating lake where she shared her first kiss with Roy to follow.
To add to this, Coronation Street scriptwriter Ellen Taylor has penned 12 funny and moving blogs in Hayley's own words to run alongside the extra scenes between September 30 and mid-October.
And fans can also check out a series of uplifting photographs that will accompany the blog and will show Hayley do everything - from teaching Roy how to drive and letting go of 99 red balloons, to saddling up and riding on the back of a Harley Davidson!

Interbike: Pedal Power
- By Aaron Hersh
- Published Sep 15, 2011
- Updated Jul 16, 2012 at 2:00 PM UTC
- Keo Power is a collaboration between Look and Polar.
- The piece attaching to the back end of the pedal spindle transmits the signal to the head unit.
- The power measurement hardware is concealed within the axle.
- These pieces can only transmit to Polar's 500 or 600 series computers.
- These pieces much be fixed perpendicular to the crank arm using a pair of tools and a fairly simple multi-step process.
- The arm of this tool has to be oriented parallel to the crank arm for the system to measure accurately.
- When fixed in place with the Allen key, an 18mm box wrench is used to tighten the pedal axle into the crankarm.
- Accelerometers used to measure pedal velocity.
- Keo Power is only compatible with their 500- and -600 series computers and no others.
- Garmin Vector has accelerometers in the silver piece to monitor cadence, which is used to calculate power in conjunction with the strain gauges in the spindle.
- Garmin Vector will be out in March.
- ANT+ compatible transmission allows it to communicate with Garmin computers and any other with the ANT+ standard.
- The accelerometer and transmitter away from the pedal.
- Garmin Vector uninstalled.
- The transmitter plugs into the rear of the pedal spindle.
- Vector has a Look compatible cleat system but the body isn't an actual Look pedal.
- These are currently the only pedals available for the Vector system.
- The transmitter contacts the yellow piece on the inside of the spindle.
- Cleat tenstion can be adjusted with a hex wrench.
- Garmin Vector also uses external transmitters.
Garmin and Look/Polar are simultaneously launching an entirely new generation of power meter based in the pedal axle.
After years of rumors, development, cooperation between two companies and a merger by another, pedal-based power meters are finally (almost) ready. Polar and Look teamed up to create the Keo Power system and Garmin purchased tech start-up Metrigear to develop Vector, their own power meter. Both units are scheduled to be ready for sale in the spring of 2012. Garmin's unit will be released in March and Look/Polar will have them ready in January.
There are a few potential benefits to the pedal-based format compared to the current hub- and crank-based power meters.
First, they can be swapped between bikes without changing a major component.
Second, they can measure power when riding different wheels. Hub-based power meters cannot.
Third, they provide the power split between the left and right legs.
Fourth, they can measure force produced by the rider that never makes it to the drivetrain.
But measuring power through the pedals introduces complications that crank and hub units do not have to overcome. Power meters measure the deflection of a component and its velocity to find the rider's power. All flex in the hub and crank is created by power actually directed into the drivetrain. But the pedals are not only flexed when the rider pedals, but when the rider stands on the pedals. The pedal power meter systems must differential actual pedaling power from the forces created by the rider leaning on the pedal or bouncing on the pedals while riding over rough surfaces. The spindles measure force, but force is only part of the equation for rider power. The other component is velocity. To measure actual power rather than force on the pedals mistaken for power, both units use accelerometers in their external transmitters to measure pedal velocity (cadence, which means the rider is actually pedaling), and the transmitter pieces must be fixed almost exactly perpendicular to the crank arm to accurately measure power.

like many people do, you check whether the letter is real and authentic, i do this all the time, but this time i was fooled.
it had contact details, reference numbers, names, spanish government logos and a signature from the vice president.
so i rang the number, spoke to Don Pablo Sanchez, the "Foreign Operations Manager", and gave my details. stupid mistake.
the next day i got a call from "Eve Lewis" explaining that i had to transfer a sum of 830 pounds to the bank for an authentification certificate to prove to the Minister of the UK that the money wasnt laundered as it was over 500,000 pounds, and because i was the beneficiary to the money which means only i can access that account, but because i wasnt a spanish national i had to pay it out of my own pocket. sounds pretty convincing at first, but dont be fooled.
i rang my brother and told him about it, and we checked up the name of the company and we found that it is a scam, if the number on the letter or email you recieve is " 00 34 6...." it is a mobile number, not an office number which means that they do this so they cant be traced. i rang up "Pablo" the idiot and questioned him, i said well if it is not a scam why dont YOU pay the 830 and when i get my money i will give you your 10% and the 830 back aswell. the stupid b****** started stuttering and i listened into the background, he wasnt in an office, he was in the street! he said quickly he had to go back to work and when i tried to ring back a few times later, phone off. rang "eve", phone off.
dont be fooled if you read this, i was in so much shock at first and refused to believe that it could happen to me, i had made so many plans and had aspirations and when i realised i felt like a fool.
luckily i didnt send any money, i only gave my account details however this can be sorted. sending money to them, you will NEVER get it back. please dont ignore this and be careful!

Product Description
With total immersion brewing, the AeroPress produces uniform extraction for the ultimate in full coffee flavor.
- Place a microfilter in the bottom cap of the AeroPress chamber and twist the cap tightly closed.
- Place two scoops of ground coffee from the included AeroPress scoop into the chamber.
- Stand the chamber on a sturdy mug, then proceed to pour hot water into the top of the chamber (175 degrees F is optimal).
- Stir the water and coffee with the included paddle for about 10 seconds.
- Insert the plunger into the chamber and gently press down about a quarter of an inch and continue to maintain that pressure for 20 to 30 seconds (gentle pressure is the key to easy AeroPressing).
You can also make a full carafe of coffee using the AeroPress in less time than it takes to brew a pot of drip coffee. Two 3-scoop or 4-scoop pressing, topped off with hot water, will fill most vacuum carafes.
The AeroPress is the result of several years of applied research by inventor/engineer Alan Adler, who conducted numerous brewing experiments, measuring the brew with laboratory instruments. The experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were key to flavor excellence. He then designed and tested dozens of brewers before settling on the AeroPress design. Adler's best-known invention is the Aerobie flying ring which set the Guinness World record for the world's farthest throw (1,333 feet).
Comparison of Brewing MethodsDrip Brewing
Traditional drip brewing passes water through a bed of grounds. When the water first drips into the bed, it is too hot and bitterness is extracted. As the water filters downward through the bed, it becomes too cool and extraction is weak. The water doesn't contact all of the grounds uniformly. Grounds at the edge of the bed are under-extracted, while grounds at the center are over- extracted and contribute bitterness.
Total immersion of the grounds in the AeroPress completely solves these problems. All of the grounds contact the same water temperature, and the brewing process is short and sweet. The gentle air pressure of the AeroPress also extracts extra flavor from the coffee. Ordinary drip brewers leave a lot of flavor in their soggy grounds.
The drip method cannot make a robust single cup because the small amount of water doesn't heat the bed enough for rich extraction. It is also slow. AeroPress makes one to four servings with a single pressing in less than a minute. The flavor is equally rich for any number of cups.
Espresso Machines
Most coffee lovers agree that espresso is less bitter than drip brew because of the shorter brewing time. However when we ran comparison taste-tests in the homes of espresso lovers, they all agreed that AeroPress espresso tasted better than the brew from their high-priced European espresso machines--why? The reason is that the total immersion brewing of the AeroPress yields a robust flavor at lower temperature--and lower temperature brew is far less bitter. Home espresso machines don't allow adjustment of temperature. But even if they did, their lack of total immersion would not yield robust flavor at reduced temperature. In addition to smoother taste, the AeroPress has several other advantages over conventional espresso machines.
- Grind is not critical in the AeroPress. Grind is so critical in espresso machines that most grinders cannot produce a grind fine enough to make a good tasting shot! Special espresso grinders cost hundreds of dollars and require frequent cleaning.
- Espresso experts always adjust the grind when there are changes in humidity or batches of coffee. They throw away two or three shots while adjusting the grind in to achieve the desired 25-second shot.
- There is no tamping in the AeroPress. Books on espresso teach the art of just the right amount of tamping. They instruct the home barista to practice on the bathroom scale to learn exactly thirty pounds of pressure.
- There is no pre-warming of the portafilter head. In fact the AeroPress has no portafilter head!
- There is no maintenance. Espresso machines require regular cleaning and descaling with caustic chemicals. They also require disassembly and cleaning of the showerhead.
- There is no need to judge when to stop the pull. This is the most critical skill in using an espresso machine. As espresso lovers well know, most would-be baristas in coffee shops, hotels and restaurants run the pump too long--extracting sour bitterness from the grounds.
- With the AeroPress, the amount of water is predetermined by the user, who can brew any strength from weak to super-intense just by choosing the desired amount of water prior to pressing.
Pod Brewers
Many single-cup pod brewers have come to market recently. Some of these machines make American coffee. Others make espresso. They range in price from about $60 to several hundred dollars. A highly respected product review magazine tested the three most popular pod brewers and reported the flavor as "mediocre at best."
French Presses
People see some similarities between the AeroPress and a French Press. Both use total immersion and pressure. But the similarities end there.
The filter in the French Press is at the top of the mixture. Because coffee floats, the floating grounds clog the filter and makes pressing and cleaning very difficult. Users are instructed to use only coarse ground coffee. But this reduces the amount of flavor that can be extracted from the coffee and necessitates long steeping times which extract bitterness.
Furthermore, even coarse ground coffee includes many fine particles. These small particles pass through and around the filter resulting in a bitter, gritty brew. The particles in the brew continue to leach out bitterness. Consequently French press users are advised to drink or decant the brew immediately. Also, some particles clog the filter screen making pressing and cleaning very difficult.
AeroPress coffee is micro-filtered. It so pure and particle-free that it can be stored for days as a concentrate. The concentrate can be drunk as espresso, mixed with milk for lattes, or diluted to make American coffee. French presses cannot make espresso or lattes. Finally, cleaning the French press is quite a chore. The AeroPress chamber is self-cleaning. A ten-second rinse of the plunger is all that's required.
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
-It can brew a few cups of coffee in just a few minutes and make each cup as weak or as strong as my guest wants.
-If you are expecting the coffee to taste like espresso or like French-pressed coffee, remember that the AeroPress uses a paper filter. It filters out much of the oil that would otherwise be present. I prefer my coffee this way but others may not. Think of it as the best drip coffee maker in the world.
-Unlike an espresso machine or a French press, you can grind the coffee in a basic blade grinder because a consistent grind isn't necessary. In a French press, your coffee will have too much silt and the bottom of your cup will be sludge.
-With a little practice, you'll soon be able to customize your coffee exactly how you like it. Adjust acidity with water temperature and steep time. Adjust strength with the grind and the coffee-to-water ratio.
-When I lost a piece of my AeroPress, Aerobie sent me a replacement for just a couple of dollars. They were easy to contact, helpful, and friendly. This is a great product made by an excellent little company.
This is the first time I've decided to review a product online. If you found this helpful, click the little box below. And if there is anything else you'd like to know, please click "comment" and ask me.
So I have a thing for good coffee, which starts with the roast and the purity and temperature of the water. But when it comes to extraction, very few, if any, brewing devices put so much control into the hands of the brewer.
With this brewer, I have made some of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. You can achieve the quality of brewed coffee as with a classic pour-over but in a much more convenient and durable system.
It's faster than a crappy Mr. Coffee, easier and more forgiving than a pour over like the Hario V60 and more durable than anything else I've ever used, besides of course a Turkish coffee brewing pot.
Sometimes you're just too busy to brew a coffee everyday (even it is does only take 2-3 minutes from start to finish). Or perhaps you hate being stuck with the crappy coffee found at your office. The versatility to brew a regular cup of coffee or an "espresso extract" is awesome. On a busy week, I will brew a heavy concentrated brew of coffee and store in a vacuumed, air-free, glass Porto bottle. When I want to make a coffee, I simply pour a measure of the coffee extract into a cup, cut with either iced or hot water and enjoy my quick, dead simple brew.
When traveling, this thing really shows off. If you travel and hate using hotel coffee and coffee makers, take this on your next trip, use the in-room coffee maker to heat up bottled water and use the Aerobie's coffee cavity to hold your coffee safe for travel. You can then brew the best cup of coffee you'll ever have at a hotel. This goes for camping, business travel or backpacking.Read more ›
The whole coffee making process is explained in the products instructions.
1. Insert a filter and some coffee into the unit. A coffee scoop and some filters are included with the aeropress, they recommend 1 scoop of coffee per cup.
2. Heat the right amount of water. Markers are printed on the side of the Aeropress to show the recommended amount of water for between 1 and 4 (the maximum) espresso shots. The manufacturers recommend water between 75 and 80 degrees. I don't know if this is correct, because I don't have a thermometer in the kitchen, and in any case, I'm not going to stick a thermometer in water to get it to a precise temperature. I boil water in my kettle and let the water sit for a set time before use. Alternatively, you could microwave the water for a set time. A bit of experimentation and you'll find how hot you like the water. I agree with Aeropress that boiling hot water extracts unpleasant flavors.
3. Mix the water with the grounds. The grounds are immersed in water, much like in a french press, but the manufacturers recommend letting the water sit for no more than about 10 seconds. I find that this is about right, but you can experiment and decide for yourself.
4. Insert the plunger and push the water out of the Aeropress.Read more ›

Downtown officials welcomed students
Published: Tuesday, May 6, 2003 at 12:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 5, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
In December 2002, I took my sixth-grade class from Maria Immacolata Elementary to downtown Houma to participate in a field study. The purpose of the project was to research how Main Street has changed throughout the years. It was a very informative and successful day.
The success of the day would not have been possible without the help given by the area merchants and business people. I praise these people for their enthusiasm and eagerness in answering questions asked by the students. My students expressed to me how comfortable they felt when talking to them.
Special thanks to Ann Picou who helped me to finalize this trip. The information and pictures she provided will help in our class PowerPoint presentation.
Tommy Cobb took us on a surprise visit into the courthouse. His wealth of information about downtown Houma was greatly appreciated and will definitely be used. The courthouse official, who took time to talk to the students will be forever remembered in their minds.
Michael Blouin Sr. and Keith Adams Sr. supported our efforts by supplying us with measuring wheels.
The Main Street of Houma is rich in history. Take time to learn about it.
Once again, to all who made this project successful, I thank you.

Heath Ledger's closest Hollywood friends including ex-girlfriends Michelle Williams and Naomi Watts have spoken out about the actor for the first time since his death. The pair joined Tod Haynes, who directed Ledger's movie I'm Not There, his agent, Steve Alexander, Sean Penn, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ellen DeGeneres in a feature for Interview magazine where they talk about their relationship with the star. Michelle, the mother of his two-year-old daughter Matilda, describes his raw energy and talent, saying: 'He had an uncontrollable energy. He buzzed. He would jump out of bed. For as long as I'd known him, he had bouts with insomnia. He just had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning, turning - always turning. 'He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn't know limits. I think that the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. 'You can pick up on it in his performances, but it's easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine. But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That's who he was.' Australian actress Naomi Watts, who dated Heath for two years before he met Michelle, added: 'His acting was just so touching, so connected in truth. I think he was just getting started.' Philip Semour Hoffman, who met Ledger when they were both nominated for the Best Actor Oscar in 2006 describes his 'childlike enthusiasm', adding that 'his body was always in motion'. Heath tragically died of an accidental prescription drug overdose on 22 January in New York. CLICK HERE for our Heath Ledger photo retrospective

Comments Thread For: Kovalev Discusses Upcoming Clash With Gabriel Campillo
Russian power puncher Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev, 18-0-1, 15 KOs, attracted much attention the last time he fought on NBC Sports Network FIGHT NIGHT. Kovalev garnered a new stable of devoted fans by crushing Lionell Thompson in a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight fight last September, and looks forward to earning more fans when he faces former champion Gabriel Campillo, 21-4-1, 7 KOs, on January 19th. Their 10-rounder is the main event on the first 2013 edition of the popular nationally televised FIGHT NIGHT boxing series. The telecast begins at 9 PM ET.

Am I the only one who favors Kovalev in this? I mean I like Campillo too and it's sad how many times he got robbed but he's been stopped before. Not sure if he'll be able to keep Kovalev off of him. Anyway, it's an exciting matchup none-the-less.

I am suprised so many people are picking Kovalev though since he is pretty much untested and Campillo is the best LHW in my eyes and should be a Unified WBA & IBF Champion.

Isaac Clarke: Space Janitor
By Cautionman 1 Comments
So, Dead Space is out, and now I've finished it. Not that any more text need be wasted on this subject, but I found myself thinking a lot about how this game was made, and why my reaction to playing it was one of perseverance in the face of tedium rather than terror.
The prevailing opinions on the netverse point to the game's strong start and weak finish; the game's length being padded by an unfortunate amount of back-tracking and unnecessary side-mission filler, and this is more or less my experience. I walked away from the game feeling oddly unsatisfied, like it had been aimlessly building towards some ineffable end, but just kind of sputtering out without a climax. After much internal soul-searching, I've come to the conclusion that the game's rigid adherence to the strengths of the previous games-playing it safe--contribute to the game's unfortunately stale arc. Because Dead Space 3 makes little effort to distinguish itself from its predecessors--especially evident in its encounter design--nearly every aspect of the game suffers as a result.
In the Quicklook on the site, Brad suggests that players skip the side missions, and it's absolutely sound advice. It's strange to complain about too much content in an age where many balk at the notion of paying full-price for relatively short experiences, where game-time and money-spent become inextricably linked at the mathematical hip. There's a lot of content in Dead Space 3, but most of it is forgettable. If that sort of repetition adds value for you, then know that there's plenty to do in Dead Space 3. You'll delve into bloodied industrial complexes, uncover the horrors within, find a loot chest, exit. That's the rhythm of the side quest, and it doesn't vary. I honestly can't remember the differences between many oft these side quests, save for a very few.
I feel for the devs, I really do; how many horrors can one place truly house before the audience becomes desensitized to it all. I felt like some sort of space-aged janitor, so accustomed to bodily fluids that I no longer smell the piss and shit and just want to get on with the cleaning. That's not what you want in a horror-type game, right--familiarity? Interestingly, Isaac's madness is nearly absent from the narrative this time around, as though he's also more or less grown comfortable with the heinous slaughter, and is just basically doing his part-time gig. "Yeah, that guy just turned into a hideous bone-monster bent on my dismemberment--I guess I'll cut off his limbs first; though, I will fucking kill someone if I don't get overtime pay for this..."
But this type of predictability isn't relegated to the side-missions; you'll soon notice you're experiencing the same beats in every location. I found myself anticipating attacks, fixing my crosshairs on would-be necro-closets before they could burst through the metal bars. To my mind, the moment the player can reasonably anticipate an ambush in a horror/action game, you're basically playing an action game. This is only problematic for Dead Space because it feels like the game genuinely wants to be frightening, but is relying upon mechanics that worked in the past and hoping it will work again. It'd be like revisiting a haunted house and expecting it to deliver the same experience a number of times; it's only scary the first time because you don't know what's coming.
That's not to say that this problem of familiarity can't be overcome; we need only remember the Ishimura's role in Dead Space 2 to see how developers might successfully revisit old locations. That ride on the tram heading toward the ship, that growing sense of anxiety at the prospect of revisiting such a memorable location was brilliantly executed. The developers had me right where they wanted me, and it I was at their mercy. I never got the sense that the developers had the same control in Dead Space 3, and I think this can be largely attributed to the game's lack of focus: it doesn't know what it wants to be, but it can't successfully please everyone.
Speaking of location, the change in setting was absolutely what the game needed; it would give the developers some new inspiration and tools to create some new moments for Isaac, and the John Carpenter's The Thing association didn't hurt, either. It turns out that the setting is woefully underused, in my mind, and I never felt like the exterior spaces offered any new gameplay. Instead of jumping out of vents, necros leap from the ground/ice-caves; this isn't functionally different and is an absolute waste of the setting's potential.
Dead Space 3 might have broader appeal, but it's not going to truly satisfy any one demographic, it seems to me. Coop players probably won't find enough content to justify the price, and horror fans will quickly suss out the game's fear-logic, reducing the game's capacity to genuinely scare.
My hope is that developers in the future won't settle for a game that aims to offer a small something for everyone, but rather a game that's so focused and tightly designed, everyone will want to play it. That's the goal, right?
Great, have some incredibly vague and unhelpful advice, developers: you can do better...? Glad to be of service, everyone. Cleaning up these messes is what I'm here for; I'm space-janitor Ziggy Star-Dump.
