The Hope Valley School operates on the grounds of the Richland Correctional Institution (RiCI) located in Mansfield, Ohio. RiCI serves over 2500 minimum, medium, security inmates. The RiCI Hope Valley School is proud to commit to the following educational programs:
The Hope Valley School offers a year-long, competency based drafting program designed to prepare students for entry-level employment in the architectural, mechanical or manufacturing professions. RiCI Career-Technical students learn to draft utilizing a combination of hand drafting and computers using AutoCAD software. The students utilize the AutoCAD software to create drawings in the areas of architecture including site planning, foundations, framing, fireplace design, doors, windows, kitchens, floor plan design, elevations, roof plans, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. The RiCI students also learn about mechanical drafting, including multi-view projection, threads and fasteners, auxiliary views, sectioning, gears, structural, dimensioning, tolerances, gears and electronics. Finally the students use their skills to create 3D images from their 2D drawings. Students participate in speaking presentations, teamwork activities; and they acquire life skills to later prepare them for the real world of work.
As a Community Service Project, RiCI staff work with the Mansfield City Planning Commission. A team of advanced Hope Valley School Career-Technical students use rough drawings to design construction documents specific to the city's community restoration project. Mansfield Correctional Camp (ManCC) Carpentry Apprenticeship inmates pre-fabricate walls that will be shipped to the contractors at the building sites. The Mansfield City Restoration Project encompasses five city blocks and includes restoration of older existing homes as well as new construction. This past year the first home that was designed was sold and now additional new homes are being designed by the class.
This year Richland held a Skills Day competition for the Community Advisory Committee members. All career-tech programs are required to have several members from the community on an advisory board. The members come into the institution and advise the teachers on new methods of the industry. They also make recommendations on how to better the programs and look at the curriculum of the program. Skills Day shows the members how and what the teachers are teaching to prepare the offender for release to become a productive member of society. This was also media day for the institution. The Mansfield Journal and Channel 68 were out to conduct interviews and take pictures.

NIAGARA FALLS – "So, what do you guys feel like hearing tonight?"
That was Jewel, two songs into her sold-out performance Saturday in the Events Center of the Seneca Niagara Casino, making it clear that her performance would be much more of a folksy, intimate, "VH1 Storytellers" type of gig than a ritzy run-through of the hits in a casino ballroom. Which was interesting, because Saturday's show was a stop on the folk singer's "Greatest Hits" tour, which was meant to provide a career-overview for Jewel fans.
What those fans got, however, turned out to be much more.
Though Jewel doesn't sell as many records as she did during her '90s heyday, the Alaskan-born singer-songwriter still commands a large and decidedly loyal fan base, made up of folks who enjoy her overtly honest ruminations on life and love. The Events Center crowd knew the lyrics and sang along, was far from bashful when the subject of their love asked for requests, and peppered the show with spontaneous calls of "We love you, Jewel!" All were handled with self-deprecating grace by the singer.
She emerged from the wings as if doing so was no big deal, grabbed one of several gorgeous Taylor acoustic guitars awaiting her attention, and dove straight into "Near You Always." With her long hair tied back in a tight ponytail, and dressed in a sun dress adorned with stars, Jewel appeared radiant, mellow and lovely. Her music, though, was certainly not overtly cutesy, at least at first.
"Near You Always" was a searing piece, based around an open tuning and a melody that was infused with yearning – its circular pattern perfectly matched to the poetic, romantic imagery of the lyric. Opening with this tune was a brave move, because it is indeed one of Jewel's most sophisticated. But the rest of the show – though it occasionally came close to being a bit too mellow for its own good – on balance offered nothing resembling a letdown.
Commanding a large crowd's attention with nothing but an acoustic guitar, a voice and some between-song banter is an incredibly tough gig. Folk-based songs, particularly when they rely on pop-based tropes, as Jewel's songs do, are often better suited to a coffeehouse or church basement than to a large concert space. Pop requires at least some rhythm, and rhythm is best provided by bass and drums. But for the most part, Jewel kept things moving at an exciting pace, making sure to avoid placing tunes in similar – or the same – keys and tempos adjacent to each other.
Jewel does indeed come from the folk tradition. As was revealed during her between-song chats, she first started playing gigs as an 8-year-old, in a duo with her songwriting father. She left home at 15, eventually becoming a homeless songwriter attempting to scrape by on money earned from busking. She told one story of attempting to hop trains when she couldn't afford legitimate transportation, an image which – perhaps self-consciously – ties her to the folk troubadour tradition established by the itinerant Woody Guthrie. Jewel is no Guthrie, nor is she a Bob Dylan, but she does know her way around a topical folk tune. "New Wild West" was one of these, a modal romp with many verses in the model of pre-electric Dylan, with lyrics that adopt a reporter's eye on society and culture. This tune worked, its image-heavy observations cutting deep.
Some of the love songs – encore "You Were Meant For Me" offering a prime example – were a bit on the twee, melodramatic side. (Imagine Taylor Swift with much more of a sense of the literary tradition and the poetic image to draw upon.) But in fairness, this was the first song Jewel ever wrote, and the fact that it became her first hit in the midst of the male-dominated grunge era suggests that she was tapping into something significant.
Pacing in one-woman shows is everything, and happily, Jewel had it down. She grabbed an electric guitar for a torrid take on "Haunted," which she described as "a song about a break-up" that boasted a narrator whose behavior "would probably be considered stalking in several states." "Perfectly Clear" offered up her forays into country music in a succinct manner, and it was prefaced with some of the evening's most poetic imagery. The singer told a story about observing patrons at a bar where she performed with her father as a young girl, noting "the great lengths women will go to get a compliment (and) what men will do to outrun their sorrow." This set the song up wonderfully, and its chilling harmony and virtuosic singing were deeply affecting.
Throughout the evening, Jewel sang beautifully, easing from her comfort zone into a lilting falsetto, a near-yodel or a full-voiced top-of-range peak with seeming effortlessness. She is indeed a class act, and Saturday's show offered her fans an intimate glimpse into her songwriter's psyche.

The 5 Most Absurdly Expensive Items in Online Gaming
Video games are far better than reality. More things explode, the creators fix their universe when random bullshit is ruining things for good people, and emptying a machine gun into homophobic racists gets you a thousand points instead of 30 years. Besides, no one can truly criticize the escapism of games on a planet where people spend $15 to pretend Adam Sandler is still funny.
Columbia Pictures
Games are far less damaging to society.
For millennia, alchemists tried to turn stupid lead into gold. Game developers have fixed that formula by ditching the dead weight of the eighth word. Demanding a continual supply of coins for pretend lives is fine for Mario, but it works less well with credit cards. Now even Duke Nukem Forever offers downloadable content, and that's the most perfect fusion of commerce, tragedy and desperate optimism since scientists went to work on pheromone sprays that would make them attractive to women.
"Instead of the cure for cancer, I decided to work on aerosol date rape. No, my mother doesn't admit I exist."
#5. Virtual Monocle (EVE Online)
EVE Online is a psychological experiment to see if people will pay to work a second job when their cubicle is a spaceship. They will. The Incarna update tested just how much shit those players would put up with, and the answers were "not that much" and thermonuclear explosions. The update allowed people to get out of their fantastic spaceships to walk around in the flesh and change their clothes, the exact opposite of what EVE had been offering for the previous eight years.
"Man, I wish I could stop engaging in titanic space combat and go clothes shopping" - No one, ever.
The new vanity items did nothing and cost so much that developer CCP had to introduce a whole new currency to deal with them. The resulting "Aurum" was a less sensible investment than Dutch tulips. The most ludicrous was a 60 (real) dollar monocle. Which was actually the most accurate virtual item ever created, as only people who can drop $60 on nothing without blinking are qualified to wear monocles in the first place.
Not blinking is a major part of monocle maintenance.
CCP suggested turning in-game ISK currency into PLEX (which has a real cash value), then converting PLEX into Aurum. The players counter-suggested by converting fusion warheads into fuck yous.
I would like to return these clothes. I include my receipt and several weapons of mass destruction.
The real joy of EVE has always been the incredible player responses, and thousands of human players suddenly went full Cylon on their own population centers. They blockaded major trade hubs, especially Jita, the most populated location in the EVE universe. Unable to destroy the hub itself, they targeted the nearby Jita memorial, a circular space station just sitting there absorbing ludicrous levels of firepower. And this is where it gets brilliant. CCP had erected the Jita memorial five years prior because they wanted to honor players who had solved an earlier quest, but they also fitted it with hit points and exploding parts, because they know exactly what players are like.
CCP acceded to player demands and changed their ridiculous update plans, even changing the plaque on the destroyed memorial to remember the riots as a new monument to the developer's true victory. Because when even the people who hate you are paying subscriptions to call you a douchebag, you've won harder than they can conceive of. To this day, the "New Jita Memorial" is still regarded as a monument to the players' triumph, proving that Crowd Control Productions:
a) are very well named.
b) make the Matrix Architect look like a goddamn amateur.
#4. Blue Party Hat (RuneScape)
In RuneScape, the most important things are pointless jokes that do nothing and have only achieved value by hanging around for far too long. Which is a pretty brutal joke for a MMORPG server. Millions of players and a decade of history have evolved the game economy to the point of a stock-like market for items. The most valuable items are party hats from Christmas crackers, also known as phats (pronounced "p-hat," not "cool but dated"). Because they were utterly useless and rather silly, most players deleted them immediately, creating instant rarity and throwing away the absolute maximum amount of money a player could ever hold. This is because, like most popular MMORPGs, a few players have become too crazy and obsessive even for a computer code built to hold immortal shape-shifting skeletons.
You say Mahjarrat, I say lich, let's call the whole thing off.
RuneScape money is represented by a 32-bit signed integer with a maximum value of 2,147,483,647 (the integer includes negative values, halving the maximum). Blue phats are now worth that much, the maximum number of coins players can carry or stack, with an unofficial cash value of $1,680. The ultra rare phats have become units of exchange, cash storage and status symbols for RuneScape's 1 percent. The theft of a green phat was one of the most infamous crimes during the Falador Massacre. In a lunatic inversion of the real world, pretend paper has become the most stable and permanent repository for wealth. Which still makes more sense than the gold standard.
The Gordon Gekko of the virtual world.
Developer Jagex has stopped giving out novelty items because of these economic sinkholes. Primarily colored items haven't distorted a fictional universe so much since the red matter in Star Trek. It might seem insane to put so much value into something the people in charge could destroy or devalue with a few keystrokes, but since that's what we did with the real world, it just means the game is a great simulation.
The Grand Exchange
Making our stock market look like it's run by monkeys.
#3. Diamond Ring (Team Fortress 2)
Valve created the best single-player shooter, multiplayer shooter and puzzle game ever made, but if idiots want to spend money on absolute bullshit, then by God, Valve decided, they'd be best at that, too. "Something Special for Someone Special" is a $100 virtual diamond ring and the least romantic computer programming since HAL 9000. The ring can be customized with a special name and given to another player, and on acceptance it broadcasts a message to every single player in every server of the game.
We could force every TF2 player to see the most expensive dick joke of all time!
It's the most doomed wedding proposal in existence. You're telling your beloved you can't be bothered to stop playing video games even when proposing to them, that you'll make large purchases without discussion, and that you're stupid. There's nothing wrong with spending money in games, but even if your other half is a TF2 player, they'll be even more pissed off that you wasted money on this instead of items that actually do things. (And if you don't know which class item set they'd want, you're not ready for marriage.) And broadcasting their name to everyone on a multiplayer killing-each-other game server is the exact opposite of what you do for someone you love.
All this for me? You really shouldn't have!
Just like all computerized items aimed at specific human beings, it can't be bargained or reasoned with and absolutely will not stop. Because there's no way to return the ring if it's sent to you. Your only options are to publicly accept the proposal or permanently delete $100 of the giver's money, which is a slightly more emphatic NO than perhaps you were planning. Although technically they're the ones who just threw away $100. You just refused to be associated with it. The ring is also stupidly visible, which isn't a stylistic complaint but so stupid that it was actually a gameplay issue. Spies cloak to disappear, but the ring remained visible, drawing in all the other players to murder the wearer. Which will happen when you publicly transmit their name and "Haha, assholes, we can spend a fortune on pretend items that do nothing."
It's basically the opposite of Q branch.
On the upside, these rings are far less inflated in price than real diamonds.

There is no shortage of speculation when it comes to what will power our vehicles in a more eco-friendly future. But the truth is that we don't know what it will be, nobody knows, and nobody will for some time. Electric cars still suffer from many of the same drawbacks that put companies like Detroit Electric out of business in 1938, corn-based ethanol takes land away from food production, algae fuel can't be produced efficiently, and oil is just plain going to run out. So the future of transportation is still open to anyone who can make their technology viable before everyone else does. Audi, and their new partner Joule, think they might have the answer.
What they plan on producing is a variety of what they call e-fuels, such as e-gas and e-diesel. These are made by combining hydrogen extracted from water via electrolysis with CO2 that comes from processing organic waste. This method synthesizes methane, and since the infrastructure and technology for powering cars with natural gas already exists, Audi believes that the difficult process of implementation will be much easier than it is with other alternative fuels. What's more, the manufacturing process removes CO2 that would otherwise go into the atmosphere. Since Audi says that the actual manufacturing will use only wind and solar energy, and the fuel only gives off as much CO2 when burned as it absorbed during manufacturing, the fuel comes out carbon-neutral. Audi has even announced plans to build a car specifically for this new kind of fuel that will be based on the A3. This A3 TCNG will work like any other dual-fuel vehicle and will allow the owner to choose between e-fuel and regular gasoline.
If you have your doubts, you are not alone. The report in Inhabitat has been met with its share of skepticism, although Audi is in no way claiming that the fuel will be ready for the mass market tomorrow. But they do say it will be ready by 2020, and that's quite a bold claim. Even if issues of cost can be addressed, it's hard to imagine that there would be enough solar and wind-generated electricity, not to mention organic waste, around to make this a really all-encompassing solution, but we're really going to have to wait and see.

A Beverly man is in jail following a domestic dispute this weekend that escalated into a standoff with police, officials said.
Ronald E. Dutch, 59, is charged with one count of wanton endangerment and five counts of retaliation against a public officer. Dutch was lodged in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail as of presstime Monday on a $50,000 bond. Officials said additional charges of domestic assault are pending.
Although Dutch was apprehended peacefully and no one was injured in the incident, officials said he was initially uncooperative with police and refused to come out of the woods behind his home. When Dutch did emerge after several hours, he was holding a shotgun in one hand and a 30-06 rifle in the other, police said.
Article Photos
According to a press release from the Elkins Detachment of the West Virginia State Police, at approximately 7 p.m. Sunday, officers were notified of a domestic disturbance at Dutch's residence, located in the Woodland Drive Extension in the Beverly Hills subdivision.
While Randolph County Sheriff's Department Deputy D.L. VanMeter, Trooper M.J. Wilson and Senior Trooper D.R. Wolford were en route, they received calls of shots fired at the residence, officials said.
The officers spoke with Dutch's wife, Jacqueline, at the entrance to the Beverly Hills subdivision and were told that she had been in an argument with her husband, and that he then allegedly began "tearing up" the residence, according to the release.
Jacqueline Dutch allegedly told police that her husband had "numerous" firearms in the residence and had fired one at her father, Fred Ratzer.
Officers could not locate Dutch after they searched the residence, but as they were exiting the home a male, later identified as Dutch, was heard yelling from a wooded area behind the house, according to the release.
"Verbal announcements identifying the presence of law enforcement officers and requests for Mr. Dutch to surrender were given," the release stated. "Mr. Dutch refused to cooperate, stating that he was not going to jail."
Officers continued giving verbal commands and negotiation attempts were made, but Dutch reportedly became increasingly agitated. A friend of Dutch's was on scene and attempted to talk with the suspect as more officers arrived at the residence, according to the release.
As officers shined flashlights in the direction of Dutch's voice, he "made statements consistent with if the lights weren't turned off, he was going to turn them off for us; someone was about to get hurt; and the next time a light was shined in his direction he was going to shoot," the release stated
At approximately 10:10 p.m., the officers heard sounds consistent with the working of an action on a firearm, officials said.
"The accused appeared from behind a wood pile approximately three feet from Deputy (B.T.) Sharp and Senior Trooper (S.E.) Heavner," the release stated. "The accused was wielding a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun in one hand and a Remington Model 7600 30-06 SPRG in the other."
Officers gave verbal commands for Dutch to drop the weapons; he complied and was taken into custody without incident, police said.
Officers found "numerous" rounds of ammunition on Dutch's person, according to the release.
The Elkins City Police and a State Police K9 unit also responded to the scene.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
January 11, 2012
An exhibit of folk art of the Pennsylvania Germans, Distelfinks Among the Dutch, will open in the Foster and Muriel McCarl Coverlet Gallery at Saint Vincent College on Wednesday, January 25 with a reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. The exhibit will continue through Friday, April 13 during regular Gallery hours of noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays plus 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. Saturday and Sunday hours are available for individuals or groups by prior arrangement. The Gallery is located on the first floor of the Fred M. Rogers Center on the Saint Vincent campus. The exhibit was assembled by Casey Wertz of Latrobe, a senior history major and public history minor at Saint Vincent, who has worked at the Gallery for the past two years. The word distelfink is the German name for the European goldfinch which frequently appears in Pennsylvania Dutch folk art. They represent happiness and good fortune and are a common theme in hex signs and fraktur (elaborate illuminated folk art). The exhibit will consist of 19 coverlets from the McCarl Collection, fraktur by local artists from the Westmoreland County Historical Society, a quilt made in York County in the 1850s from the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum and a large wooden chest and several Mennonite Bibles from the West Overton Museum. In addition, contemporary fraktur by Marta Urban and freehand scherenschnitte (paper cutting) by Polly Winkler-Mitchell will be included. "In working with the McCarl Collection, I noticed a number of coverlets with a Pennsylvania Dutch motif," Ms. Wertz said. "The symbols matched those included in hex signs, fraktur and scherenschnitte and so I proposed that as a theme for the annual student curated exhibit. I started doing research in the fall of 2010 and completed it during the fall semester of 2011." "We wanted to show how the Pennsylvania folk art has continued to be an influence up to the present day," Ms. Wertz noted. "The goal of the exhibit is to demonstrate the culture and legacy of the Pennsylvania Dutch through their folk art. I also wanted to show how coverlets can connect to other aspects of folk art, particularly Pennsylvania folk art, with connections of color, designs and different styles and techniques. I want people to enjoy looking at that historical legacy." In addition to her work at the McCarl Gallery, Ms. Wertz, a 2008 graduate of Greater Latrobe High School, works in the archive at the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media. She previously completed internships at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art and a summer fellowship at Historic Deerfield, a house museum in Massachusetts.

Wishes were granted upon the stars at the fifth annual Festive Night of Light, Luck and Delight for the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania.
There were no fortune cookies this year, so if the more than 100 attendees wanted a chance to give a multi-thousand dollar grant to the nonprofit of their choice, they had to write their names on a star if they could answer the following riddle:
"At night they come without being fetched. By day they are lost without being stolen. What are they?"

CRAIG S. McKIBBEN JR./Sun-Gazette
People attending the First Community Foundation of Pennsylvania's yearly fundraising event "Festive Night of Light, Luck and Delight," held at the Pennsylvania College of Technology's Madigan Library Tuesday night, mingle prior to the start of the program.
The answer was stars, which Jennifer Wilson, president and CEO, said was fitting since 2012 was declared the year of the superhero at the foundation and so many superheroes are adorned with stars.
The donors themselves could be considered superheroes for the way they change, perhaps even save, their communities, Wilson said.
The stars, collected at the registry table, were picked "to select winners, or wishes, this year," she said.
Mark Maddy, of Loyalsock Township, will donate the $2,000 he won when his name was drawn to South Williamsport Endowment Fund. He and Maria Maddy, who works as borough treasurer for South Williamsport, decided that was what they would give the money to on their way to the event, on the off-chance one of them should win.
"You have to have some idea (who you're going to donate to)," Maria said.
Instead, they both won, and Maria also donated her $3,000 to the borough endowment fund.
This was their first year attending, and as Mark said, they never win anything.
The big winner of the night was Fred Gilmour, of Williamsport, who was given the opportunity to donate his $5,000 money to the nonprofit he wanted. He chose the Uptown Music Collective.
"They do a very good job with helping kids," Gilmour said.
As a former educator, he sees the need for the lessons.
With budget cuts in education, the organization serves as a way to support children who might not be able to participate in music lessons. Instruments are not inexpensive, he said.
"I believe in the whole process of Uptown Music Collective," he said.
The $10,000 in grants came from the Williamsport Lycoming Community Fund.
Community funds allow for flexibility for the First Community Foundation to meet the changing needs in the community through a grant process that meets current needs.
Altogether, the foundation is projected to award more than $2.7 million in grants and scholarships in over 14 counties. It has 341 funds and assets of about $62 million.
Tuesday night's event was held at The Gallery at Penn College in the Roger and Peggy Madigan Library.

If I'd join (and I'm considering it), I'm probably going to fill the "Misc" Folder...
But I'd like to see a more suitable name ;) Thinking about a Cyber Knex folder for instance...
If the need arrizes i'd be more than happy to make a new category :)
I just limited it to these few as it is kinda pointless to have a billion categories with only one instruction in them. Anyways, looking forward to your contributions! :D
Oh, I totally agree with you on that! :)
But that's why I'm focussing on certain topics, like Cyber Knex or Star Wars vehicles/ships. I have quite a few idea's.
I think I'll register later this day ^^
I thought right away when I saw your garden that you are from Germany. In Germany stone walls are very poplar. Keep it up!
Haha, thanks! We actually just moved there about a year ago and haven't changed the garden much, yet ;)
Pony Power!
Ponies indeed ^.^
Guten tag! Oh my gosh, you're alrezdy working on another balm machine? Wow. It looks huge!
Can you add a function so you can sort the contest entries?
They have removed most of the buttons :(
After finally finding time looking into it i'm afraid I won't be able to as instructables (for once) actually took care to not be able to output results ordered in a different way :(
And only outputting the ones already added in a different order doesn't make a lot of sense IMO as it are only the most recent ones.
OK cool, I haven't forgotten about it and the contests are going more crazy each month!
Did you hear about the enchanted objects contest?
Wait, they have such a contest? O.O
Yes, they now have the problem of not deciding enough finalists and they had to restart the whole process!

MARTINSBURG - While Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ushers in the beginning of the holiday season, the 2 a.m. alarm clocks and crowded parking lots of Black Friday officially ring in the start of the holiday shopping season.
Some retailers have store hours that cut into Thanksgiving Day, such as the Martinsburg Wal-Mart which plans to begin sales at 8 p.m. tonight, while other locations will wait until at least midnight.
The Martinsburg Mall will open at 6 a.m., with select stores such as Radio Shack and Finish Line planning to open at 4 a.m. General manager Robert Gardner said this is the typical pattern for the mall.

Journal photo by Michelle Horst
Early shoppers arrive at The Commons Shopping Center in Martinsburg.
"The last two months of the year determine shopping trends for the year," Gardner said, adding that retail stores typically generate 40 percent of business during the months of November and December.
"It's difficult to say now if things are trending upward and what consumer confidence as far as spending is. We really won't know until the first the year," Gardener said.
According to the National Retail Federation, more than 147 million shoppers are expected to visit stores between Black Friday and following Saturday and Sunday. This figure is slightly lower than the 152 million from 2011.
NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay stated on the federation's website that it is "critical" for retail companies to continue to strive to evolve just as consumers and trends do.
Currently, shoppers are looking for "great deals, good value and convenience," and this tends to be recognized and accepted by stores in the re-emergence of layaway, and new techniques such as mobile offerings, Shay said.
Some stores, such as Wal-Mart, have early accessibility to the ad fliers for Black Friday on their websites, and tailor them to specific locations so that shoppers can prepare the list of items they are searching for beforehand.
Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday continue the energy that Black Friday rushes in, and encourage sales as retailers look to boost sales goals over the weeks leading up to Christmas.
"We do increase our hours at the mall, and we do this to increase our traffic flow," Gardner said.

Just Cause 2 Review
Just Cause 2 is a game that begs to be messed around with, for you to discover new ways to use the tools at your disposal and to take it all in the light-hearted way the developer intended.
Sometimes the simplest things can bring about the most fun. Just Cause 2, while giving you a lengthy campaign of missions to play through, excels primarily because it gives you the tools required to have a good time - a rather explosive one at that. Avalanche's open-world sequel is silly, doesn't handle gunplay all that well and features the worst voice acting I've heard in a very long time, but once you learn the ins and outs of Just Cause 2's grappling hook, it's hard to stop messing about.
Don't buy Just Cause 2 expecting the kind of involved story you found in GTA4. Playing once again as secret agent Rico Rodriguez, you're sent to the islands of Panau to hunt down a rogue agent. That's the basic plot, but soon things become much more than Rico had bargained for, so you'll need the help of Panau's factions if you're going to survive against a trigger happy military regime.
Structurally the game is similar to Saints Row 2, in that story progression missions are only unlocked once you've completed a number of side-missions and racked up Chaos points. Chaos in Just Cause 2 is handed out for completing missions and for destroying government property, with the game informing you how close you are to unlocking the next mission every time your overall total is increased.
Completing faction missions not only rewards you with Chaos points, in turn getting you close to the next Agency story mission, but also widens that faction's area of influence. These factions will provide you with support should you run into trouble, as long as their influence stretches into the area you're fighting, so despite appearing as side missions they are essential for your safe passage throughout the game.
At times this system results in an island map completely devoid of missions, leaving only the cash-rewarding race events to take part in. As these don't hand out Chaos points, you're left to cause as much damage to government property as possible until you cross the required points threshold to unlock a new mission. It's a tad tedious at times, but the wanton destruction is usually great fun. Just be aware that you won't be able to focus purely on working through the story.
Mission structure then isn't going to be ideal for everyone, but something that few will be disappointed with is the insane stunts Rico can perform. These are built around his ability to skydive, his parachute and grappling hook. Just Cause 2 isn't a realistic game, and as such can get away with some insane moves. The thrill of skydiving out of a plane thousands of feet in the air, then ripping the pull chord on your parachute inches from the ground is just brilliant, while being able to tether yourself to all objects means you can traverse large distances with a neat grappling hook/parachute combo.
There's always a normal way to climb up to the top floor of a building, but why bother when you can just grapple up the side? Why shoot an enemy when you could pull him from his perch with a click of a button using your grappling hook? Is a pursuing enemy vehicle causing you trouble? No problem. Just tether the Jeep to the road and watch it spiral into the air as if from a Hollywood action movie. Why not attach a solider to a gas cylinder and watch what happens when you pop a cap in the tube. These are just a fraction of the ways you can have fun with the tools in Just Cause 2, and the reason the game is so much fun.

Levi is a very attrative person and name. What i've experienced is that Levi has a huge penis.
I was walking down the street and saw a person. I asked him what his name was and it was Levi. I gave him a hug but when I gave him a hug I felt a tree hit me. but it wasn't actually a tree it was his....... well you know what it was. And since he had that huge thing, I went out with him.

According to the rules of the Catholic Church, an exorcism is a ritual aimed at getting rid of Satan in a given situation.
The church teaches that a person or group experiencing demonic possession can be rescued through the Rite of Exorcism.
So it only follows that an exorcism is in order when the Devil goes so far as to change the laws of a state, right?
John Aravosis tells us HERE about just such a situation:

SALEM - On the football field in Columbus it was the 109th meeting for Ohio State and Michigan, but at Faith Chapel it was the first time for a free tailgate warmup before the game.
Just like outside the "Horseshoe," the food was grilled up but the parking lot party at Faith Chapel chilled out due to blustery weather driving everybody inside by kickoff time.
The chapel is located at 511 E. Pershing St. and its new LED sign has flashed the news of the tailgate event for days.

Pershing St., Faith Chapel held its first Ohio State-Michigan tailgate party. The game can be seen on the large-screen television behind them and the plan is to make a tradition of the tailgate party. The chapel will hold another one on Dec. 30 before the Browns-Steelers game. (Salem News photo by Larry Shields)
It drew some 115 people, Pastor Larry Paxson and assistant Pastor Mike Hileman, said.
The tailgating began at 10 a.m. and members were encouraged to bring family, friends and neighbors to share in burgers, ribs, hotdogs and the football atmosphere.
A promotional flyer, with Ohio State and Michigan logos emblazoned at the top, said to "come support your teams at Faith Chapel."
The ratio was about 15-1, Paxson said, Ohio State to Michigan.
"Not a lot of Michigan fans," he said, "(but) we do have whole families here who are Michigan fans."
Hileman, who heads up the outreach ministry said the chapel's dream team, which is concept and visionary oriented, came up with the tailgate idea.
"Matthew Griffith had the idea for the tailgate party," Hileman said.
Paxson said, "We know if men come to the church, statistics say that men will bring their families.
"You can see it here where they bring their kids ... the kids find something of interest."
There were about 80 adults and 35 kids.
The idea has taken such a strong hold that Faith Chapel will hold a tailgate party before the Browns-Steelers game on Dec. 30 beginning at 10 a.m.
"It will be great fun for the community," Hileman, a Penn State fan, said adding that he was supporting Michigan "just for today" for a friend.
The aim of the dream team is to "bring the community together," the pastors said and that's one reason for the new LED sign out front.
Paxson said, "We needed something to communicate with the community. We have something going just about every weekend."
Hileman said the Tuesday night Bible study draws 70 a night.
"That's newsworthy," he said.
The total congregation numbers between 175 and 200.
There will be a craft show with the proceeds going to Kidz4Christ from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. next Saturday, Dec. 1.

|Cake Decorating
Confidently construct three types of advanced cake structures, each with two elegant design variations, using cake star Marina Sousa's inspiring decorating techniques. First, work with foam risers and simple materials to stack cakes for a floating-tier effect. Then, conceal your foam risers with gorgeous molded latticework and borders. Build center-pole structures where the support is disguised with green fondant "stems" that appear to pass through your top tier and bloom into a brilliant bouquet. Make a four-tiered cake structure adorned with delicate fondant stringwork, and a cantilever-style structure accented with curtains of isomalt beads. Take your cakes to new heights of design and demand with well-built structures and elegant embellishments.
Meet your instructor, the talented Marina Sousa, as she shows you how to stack and stabilize two- and three-tier cakes interspersed with foam separators. You won't believe how stable these cakes are!
Learn innovative ways to use silicone molds for decorations that will emphasize the negative space created by your foam separator.
Raise your cakes to the sky as you learn how to construct a center-pole support. This structure allows you to create cakes with extraordinary height and tiers placed as close or as far apart from each other as you wish.
Marina shows you two creative ways to hide the center pole: disguising it under a bunch of tulip stems tied with a fondant bow or inside a piece of PVC pipe covered in fondant and decorated with a stunning dimensional filigree design.
Expand your use of negative space with this beautiful cake, built without a solid center. Learn how to add support to any cake so that it's stable and transportable. Create easy fondant drop strings by using the spaghetti attachment for your pasta maker or stand mixer.
Want your top tier to hang over its supporting tier? No problem! Marina will show you the best way to build support for this asymmetrical cake. She also offers tips and tricks for working with isomalt to create an elegant and sophisticated beaded curtain on this offset, cantilevered cake.
"I learned so much from this class! Although I have been decorating for years and have done many tiered cakes, I have never had the courage to try adding negative space with floating tiers or offset tiers. Now I can't wait to try! So happy you showed the "how to" with naked cake as well; makes it all make sense! Great job � keep 'em coming!"

2010 SCE FCU Annual Report
Credit Union Celebrates Members in People Powered Banking CampaignMar 23, 2011 | Annual Reports
It takes a special mix of ingenuity, determination, effort and loyalty from members, volunteers and staff to transform a challenging economic year into a successful experience for all stakeholders in this cooperative we call SCE FCU. 2010 was a celebration of our members, several of whom appeared on freeway billboards, city street posters, bus shelters, mall kiosks and bus tails ─ a testimony to our commitment to People Powered Banking.
The invitation to Join us • sce4me.com resonated with 2251 who came to take a look at the special website created for our People Powered Banking advertising campaign. Many joined the Credit Union and took advantage of aggressive rates as low as 1% APR on auto loans. Others test drove our concierge service CU at the Wheel for the first time and had a Credit Union car buying specialist find the car of their dreams and deliver it to their door, complete with a big red bow. Birthday, Christmas and Valentine's Day heroes were born with this "one of a kind" white glove service. Others, some who have been part of the SCE FCU family for a long time, came seeking help dealing with unforeseen hardship like unemployment. We were able to provide feasible options that allowed close to 320 members to adjust the terms on mortgages or equity loans to get them through a rough patch.
For many small business owners, finding the right ─ and often elusive ─ business loan was a necessity to keep them in the community and ensure the doors stayed open for business. SCE FCU grew nearly 35.93% in business lending to organizations in our local communities. In an effort to support the employees of our local businesses, we visited hundreds of employer sites to bring banking to the people, and to find new ways to delight the SCE FCU member family.
Creative financial education events made learning fun for participants and volunteers alike. Youth celebrations, simulation games, seminars and online tutorials rounded out the offerings. In addition, all members have free access to our BALANCE financial fitness program, and many took advantage of educational and personal financial counseling opportunities. For more information on our community involvement, charitable contributions, and inaugural scholarship program, please read the "In the Community" section of this annual report.
Our members can look forward to a number of new services in 2011 as we enhance our ability to conduct business online. A redesign for Online Banking and for our website, a more robust bill pay product, SnapShot ─ a financial aggregator, and many upgrades to our ability to transact business and transmit documents securely from your location to our corporate office.
During the flurry of activities designed to provide member options and value, we are taking time to reflect on our roots. Difficult times often drive people to rethink their guiding principles and recommit to the things that are most important.
- We believe the people in our community really do need and want to be helped and, in turn, they want to help others.
- We believe the crises of recent years have caused some of our Credit Union family to become disillusioned with some of the dreams they built for themselves. For some, the dream collapsed and now they are holding the pieces.
- We believe many are going back to basics. They are looking for a credible, transparent financial option they can believe in. They are saving again for the long run, and looking for meaningful and lasting relationships, including financial partners.
- We believe we all want "living within our means" to have more meaning. Credit unions were born in times of crisis (during the Great Depression), at a point when people needed banking to be more responsive and more responsible.
- We believe this kind of commitment to people through their life journey has value and is meaningful. Times have changed, but our values have not. We are still organized by the people, for the people.
- We believe our brand of banking... people-powered banking... has a special quality and when you participate, you experience that difference.
We will be looking to you for feedback in a variety of ways in 2011, so you can play a more direct part in maximizing the member service experience. Over the years, many of you have recommended SCE FCU to your friends and family and it is our honor and delight to extend them our service. Thank you for sharing the gift of membership.
We are your Credit Union ─ focused on your street, not Wall Street.
Terry Coe
Chairman of the Board
Dennis Huber

I saw an episode of the old series Kids Next Door on Cartoon Network and the story was the team exaggerating about a mission, which turns out to be a pizza run. When Numbuh Four tells his portion he portrays himself as Goku and the delightful children from down the lane are frieza. have you seen any recent kid's shows that make reference to anime?

its funny it came out like a few weeks late.
American is not good at making Anime there are some good ones out. But the Japanese are masters at it, america should not try to comepete they cant win. And that's my view. Thanks

Legislation designed to expand gas use
March 27, 2013
Two state lawmakers introduced legislation Tuesday that could help get the region's abundant supplies of natural gas into more schools, hospitals, small businesses and houses....
Yaw has been receiving money from the industry by leasing his 100 acres to Anadarko Petroleum, talk about a "conflict of interest".

No we dont know that! Nothing has ever been proven that fracking is bad for your health.

Of course Yaw wants to increase the use of gas. He is invested in and stands to receive large amounts of money from this industry. If he can pass legislation to force this then he gets money. And of course Eric gets to keep his job as industry shill. We are being sold down the river and we are powerless to stop it. The industry is willing to invest the money into buying our "leaders" instead of investing in a life long commitment to sustainable fuels. We don't need the gas, the industry needs the profits. That is all there is to it.

It sounds good but it overlooks the fact that we are blessed with an even more abundant and cheaper source of energy here in Pa. Wood. Why bother with gas when we can burn wood. Whether you know it or not, it's all the rage. Everyone's burning it and Gene Yaw was endorsing it not that long ago when new guidelines were being drawn up for wood burning furnaces and outdoor boilers. Whether you live on Grampian Blvd, Valamont Drive, Lycoming Creek Road or any residential neighborhood in Williamsport we're burning wood baby. That's the future of cheap abundant energy in Pa!

Women ADVANCE at USM Initiative
The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded USM a grant worth over $150,000 to fund the Southern Maine ADVANCE IT Catalyst project.
This grant funds a study to determine how USM can better recruit, retain and advance female faculty members in the sciences, technology, engineering and math fields, as well as in the social and behavioral sciences. The study will identify best practices at similar institutions, and will fund an analysis of workload trends and the characteristics of a campus culture that tend to retain female faculty in those disciplines.
The goal is to help build a faculty that can serve as role models to women students, especially older women with families and women veterans, and improve the university's efforts to recruit and retain more women students in these disciplines.

Same old s*** from Holland.
He's done nothing of significance the last several deadlines and offseasons.
This offseason, his big accomplishment is signing a 4th liner that any GM could have signed and that old goof Samuelsson, who we don't need at this point. And that's coming off three early playoff exits in a row and the retirement of your best player for the last decade.
I don't know what our record will be next season, but the offseason up until now has been a disaster. But Holland's mentality is, "All is well"
This is what it is like trying to talk to some members of this board right now
That defense sounds better to me than Doughty, Greene, Mitchell, Martinez, Voynov and Scuderi
Salvador, Zidlicky, Harrold, Fayne, Volchenkov and Greene
21 straight playoff appearances (might I mind you the longest streak in PROFESSIONAL SPORTS HISTORY)
Wait Ian White, the defenseman that was +23 and 32 points for 2.8 million isn't very good? He is better than Ehroff, Kaberle, Goligoski, Bogosian, Girardi, Bouwmeester, Fowler, Erik Johnson etc. He played very very well last season. Yikes.
Since when is making the playoffs year in, year out "not doing anything"?
In 2010 Red Wings had very little assets.
There is absolutely nothing better any of you could have done. Period.
I'm of the opinion that the reason we're the dominant force in the league is because we scout, draft, and develop talent better than just about anyone. Pair that with the fact that the organization treats players well and therefore, they're willing to stay at almost any cost. In my opinion, that's were Ken Holland earns all his accolades. He doesn't really splash in free agency or the trade deadline, but his ability to consistently produce homegrown talent, and keep it around, makes him one of the best in the league. Not because he does or doesn't spend too much money.

"Hit em with your purse, ya *****!" - Random Wings fans shouting at Franziska
Posted 15 July 2012 - 03:28 AM
Couldn't agree more!!!
This can be said for people on both sides of the argument.
You mean both the defenses that just played for the Stanley Cup? Granted, neither are standout D corps and Detroit's isn't terrible, but both NJ's and LA's are solid.
Not true. While it is the longest ACTIVE streak in the North American Big 4 pro sports, it is only tied for 5th in NHL history and tied for 6th overall, behind Boston Bruins (29 years), Chicago Blackhawks (28), St Louis Blues (25), Montreal Canadiens (22), Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers (22), and tied with Montreal and Portland TrailBlazers at 21 straight years. (via Wikipedia)
As someone already stated, White spent most of the season paired with Lidstrom. Most of these players would have had at least similar seasons, if not better, than White's. He was not the same without Lidstrom. And Cam Fowler is what, 20? When's the last time Detroit had a defenseman good enough to play in the NHL at that young age??
Since he didn't have to do anything to have the team make the playoffs again. Question is, is just making the playoffs good enough for a franchise that says they expect to comepte for the Cup EVERY YEAR? Is it good enough for you?
And whose fault is it that they didn't have anyone tradeable in 2010? Certainly not mine... not yours... it is Ken Holland's.
That's a pretty easy statement to make when there's no way to prove it right or wrong...
That first sentence is an outdated cliche. Every organization scouts Canada, the US, and Europe/Russia thoroughly. Gone are the days of slipping Pavel Datsyuk through the cracks because nobody else saw him playing in his third-tier league. Long gone are the days of drafting Nick Lidstrom and Sergei Fedorov anywhere outside the top 5 because you weren't sure you could get them to come to the NHL. Detroit was a pioneer in Europe, but the rest of the league has followed. And every team produces late-round gems, not just Detroit. Actually, if you compare every team's draft history over the last 15-20 years, Detroit's does not really stand out, there are a handful of teams I'd put as equal or better in the scouting/drafting/developing department.
And yes, the Wings' organization treats the players VERY well... they're generally sheltered from the media and public, the Wings were one of the first teams to fly a private plane, and there are a lot of little perks we don't get to see. But that falls largely on Ilitch, it's his organizational policy, not Holland's. Holland is a benefactor of that policy himself, being a former minor-league player turned scout turned GM. He's been a part of the organization since 1983. He's just following along the company line.
My biggest issue with "keeping homegrown talent" is that, despite obvious shortcomings in some postseasons, the same players are kept around year after year after year. Holland has said (and I don't know where to find the quote, so I'll paraphrase) that he "doesn't believe in trading away assets. Once you get them, you hang on to them." Well, sometimes those assets underachieve when they're being counted on the most. Sometimes trading away one asset (for equal value in return) can inject new life into the rest of the remaining players, as they may decide they don't want to be traded away too, so maybe they better pick it up. Just because you have a recipe that works, doesn't mean you don't tinker with that recipe a little, including removing an ingredient and replacing it with something different. Because right now, I think the Wings' core is very, very complacent, and that's not a good thing in my opinion.

I will bite my tongue on this one
I will give this roster 10 games. If we aren't looking good in 10 games, I'm thinking this noise might be rumbling up from the stands...

I'm with you. There are people on this board who would rather that we trade away our prospects every year for the next big thing. These same people were moaning last year when Nashville scooped up all the available guys at the trade deadline last spring. How did that work out? Look at San Jose. They make a big trade almost every year. And what do they get for it? No trips to the finals and a group of prospects that are ranked #30 in the league according to Hockey's Future. I agree with Kenny. Don't trade away your asset
Posted 15 July 2012 - 11:34 AM
Yea look at Nashville, they beat the Wings, and got one round further than the Wings. And of course you didn't mention the big trade last season that LA was involved in... look where they ended up...

Posted 15 July 2012 - 12:18 PM
So you don't care if Red Wings make the playoffs, you just want them to win Stanley Cups every year? That's about the most absurd and illogical thing I have ever read in my entire life! How many teams made the playoffs since lockout? I'm counting ONE.
If you make the playoffs, you have a CHANCE to win the Stanley Cup, just ask the LA Kings...
Yes, it is Kenny Hollands fault they didn't have any tradeable assets in 2010, he was too busy building Stanley Cup teams and SCF teams. If he said F*** the cup and tanked for top picks, he would have better trade-able assets right now. Unfortunately we won the cup, got higher picks, and those higher picks are still deveoping and currently have little trade value.
People need to have realistic expectations. F***!
Posted 15 July 2012 - 12:49 PM
Posted 15 July 2012 - 01:02 PM
Please go back and re-read what I wrote word-for-word. I said THE FRANCHISE EXPECTS TO COMPETE FOR STANLEY CUPS EVERY YEAR. That is something Ken Holland says all the time. I don't say that, nor do I think they're going to win every year. Besides, missing the playoffs once every 5 years or so gives you a chance to reload with better draft picks while still giving you plenty of opportunities in the postseason. One big thing Detroit lacks right now is young players who are major contributors.
Posted 15 July 2012 - 01:04 PM
I would like to think Semin paired with dats would solve the offensive concerns but if holland doesn't make a move on him I can understand why due to his baggage.

I think that Holland should NEVER be content! EVER! He needs to be in perpetual motion! Changing, bettering, just frickin let go of Franzine! Trade Filppula for Ryan!!! Selanne wants him there and will press the Ducks to make the deal!
Just NEVER EVER be content! You have to be better than 29 other GM's...never settle...
Posted 15 July 2012 - 04:30 PM
First, Quick was good, but without that trade they wouldn't have made the playoffs.
Nashville also was exposed against a better Phoenix team and lost their #2 defenseman this offseason, losing their one shot at a Cup for the next decade. L.A. relied upon goaltending through the first couple of rounds in the playoffs and by having Richards there was little chance that Carter was going to any other team.
My feeling is that Holland isn't doing anything trade-wise at this point because:
A) There may be another lockout.
B) Other teams are asking for roster players that the Wings need and a major trade would jeopardize this team's depth.
I would be surprised if any moves are made before a new CBA is reached. Patience.
Posted 15 July 2012 - 05:47 PM
And when you make the playoffs, you are competing for the Stanley Cup. Why tank when Holland is building playoff teams every year? I don't get your logic. If you were GM, you'd be fired before you start... This is the NU: NHL where 8th seed teams can win cups. When you make the playoffs, anything can happen.

NEWS: Steven Tyler of Aerosmith Apologizes To Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) [Young Money]?
Earlier this week, Aerosmith lead singer and former "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler criticized Nicki Minaj's role as a judge on "Idol." His remarks included stating that Nicki would've sent Bob Dylan "to the cornfield" if he auditioned this season. In response, Minaj tweeted that the comments were racist.
In an interview on Canadian show eTalk, Tyler apologized for his comment, and vehemently denies being racist.
"I apologize if it was taken wrong, Nicki," said the singer. "But I am the farthest thing from [being a racist] ... I am the last thing on this planet as far as being a racist. I don't know where she got that out of me saying I'm not sure how she would have judged Bob Dylan."
Steven Tyler explained that he meant, "if Bob Dylan came on the show, he would've been thrown off."
"Maybe I spoke out of turn," said the singer. "But a racist I'm not, Nicki."

I didn't have time to shave this morning so now I have a Brad Paisley moustache.
