hey Guys, just another vent thread of mine. Seem to be venting a lot these days. Anyone else out there feel like they are about to lose their minds with everything they have to do. I love being a mama, but in all honesty there are many times when things just get to me. My DS is definetly a high maintenance baby, or maybe he's just a lot of work because he's a boy. Lately I've been feeling really lonely, isolated, frustrated and just plain angry. I barely have the energy to take care of myself, much less to deal with a child who ALWAYS wants to be picked up, cries like your about to kill him, an who DOES NOT sleep through the night. I'm also diabetic so having to deal with the diabetes and take care of my baby is a HELLUVA lot of work. It's at these times when I have about 50 million things going on at one time when I'm at my worst. I want to scream and maybe have a tantrum, or a small mini meltdown just to ease the frustrations. Not saying my problems are any worse then any one else's here, but Lawd it sure is a lot of pressure. I feel like screaming, but usually just keep on going, just so my son can have the best care possible. As I write this I'm wishing I was on a beach somewhere sipping on a strawberry daquiri(with lots of liquor lol), sleeping my days away. How does everyone else deal with their frustrations? I need some sort of healthy outlet or im going to lose my mind!!!! Ou Secours............
feeling like I'm at the end of my rope

You have my problems from about a year ago when I was left by my ex. The unsleeping child, the loneliness, the anger, the sorrow...And you should let yourself have that tantrum, or cry, or whatever, because you gotta let the pressure go somehow...And vent away. I couldn't have done it or figured it out without the people on this board. The best ways to deal with this are what you're doing now: venting, crying...but when you're done, you'll see that you're stronger, better at it, more able. And you'll have some great friends here, too!
I dealt with it by accepting I had depression issues :) Not saying you do, but I sent my son to stay with my parents for a week last december. You know why? I pretended I needed a break, but I really just didn't want to be a mom anymore. That was my rock bottom. It happens, you are not alone, and don't worry about the problems others have, this is an important issue for you. I deal with these things by talking most of the time, typing here, talking to friends, therapist. Prior to hitting rock bottom I pulled away from friends too, I couldn't deal with everyone expecting something from me, some friends stayed gone, the good ones let me breathe and offered support. I'm rambling, but I always struggle this time of year.
Yes I was afraid to admit that sometimes I just don't want to be a mom. I mean my DS is ony 5 months old, but I really miss my old life. Don't get me wrong I love him to death, but going from a person who was 100% independent and free to do whatever they liked, to being 100% depended on by this cute little person is probably the thing I'm struggling with the most. The lack of sleep, the tantrums he throws when he's tired or doesn't get what he wants. I'm at a complete loss sometimes as to how to help him out. I want to be a good mom, and I made the decision to give him life, so I know there is no going back, but it is frustrating as all hell. Sometimes I feel like I'm being punished because I didn't get one of those easy going children that's content to play without being held 24/7, that sleeps easily, and is generally easy going. Hopefully Noah will change his temperament as he gets older. Lord I hope he does!!! I prayed for a boy and I got one cause I know if I had a girl she'd be exactly like me........drama queen lol!!! But you know what, my son is the exact same as me. My male version. Lord have mercy.

Missing my angel baby born at 16 weeks 04/04/12.
Awwww I'm sorry you're struggling...I did as well my my dd was less than a month old. For some reason she went for like 2 weeks where I swear she didnt sleep, I was cooking every night (for just me), laundry, dishes, breastfeeding, girl you name it I was trying to be a superwoman. Then I realized I was not even enjoying my new baby and decided "it can wait" and that was the approach I took. My dd was only going to be a "month" old once. She was the most important thing. Dishes could wait, eat a sandwhich instead....let the laundry pile up until the weekend. I also learned, and still do this, to run errands around my daughters sleep/nap schedule....all those crying screaming kids you see in public? Probably overtired...me wanting to check out a new pair of shoes is not worth my child missing her nap and becoming a lunatic lol...my family used to bit** at me "she is running your life" and I would just reply "and she should, she's a baby and my only child"...I hope this helps girl. Feel free to vent anytime
I definately are where you are and feeling the same way. My son is 8months and fortunately sleeps through the night,,,but is cutting teeth so that pattern is changing. Im on my own with 2 and resent both fathers that left me to raise their kids...I just try to think of all the things I can be thankful for, when I feel like losing it...and when I look into both of my sons faces, I realize I got the better end of the deal, no matter how tired I am. Our children are blessings, even though they can drive us nuts..lol
You may be a mommy, but you are still a woman too, so I get where feeling lonely comes from. Its like you want to wear a sign that says,,just because Im a mom, doesn't mean I am not a woman too...
If it is possible, try to find either a sitter or family and friends to take you LO for awhile, so you can have some down time. we all need that.
My oldest tweenager (God help you then..lol) is just like my sister was as a child..high strung, hyper and annoying..lol I was the QUIET one that did not require extra attention. In my mind I say how fair is that??? Just hang in there, because it does get better.
All I can say is I know exactly how you feel! Just continue to hold on. I used to cry alot and then go dry my face and go on, I also didn't keep to myself as much as possible to avoid depression and things, I stayed at my family house til it was time for bed, they got me through my break-up and being alone. They don't even know the half of what I've been through, and they may not even understand how much they helped me then, I'd just go over and talk and they kept me laughing and kept my mind off my problems, I basically surrounded myself by those that I knew love me unconditionally. It gets better later.
when I get the the meltdown point I take my anxiety ad depression meds and then hop into a warm bath and cry it out, usually by the time I am done crying in the tub the medication has kicked in an my issues don't seem as bad!
I am on anxiety meds indefinately because my anxiety is not only the result of my ongoing divorce but as I was told by my doctor it is a result of a heart valve issue that I have.
anyways a good cry is sometimes what it takes then wash your face and start again. good luck.
Yeah I have anxiety as well, but was not taking my meds while I was pregnant because I didn't really know what the effects would be on the baby. I haven't really been taking them since my son is born either because I'm afraid of what the effects would be while im still breastfeeding. I will be starting on them again though. Also going to try to get as much me time as possible when my sister comes home. I worry too much that my family won't want to watch him, especially my sister because she's a single mom to two children, and works like a dog. I figure if she works that hard and struggles to raise two children, where in the hell is she going to have time and energy to spare to give me a break??? Need to find a positive outlet though, and I worry way too much about other people.

OP this is going to sound really clichéd, but here goes:IT GETS BETTER. Right now he's still in the newborn, not really independent, high needs maintenance stage. Madame was this way also. My saving grace was our baby sling. I washed dishes, cooked (awkwardly) shopped, whatever I HAD to do w/ her in her baby carrier. It was a beautiful thing. She got the 'comfort' she needed & I got the things done I needed to get done.
As far as the sleep thing...that just comes w/ trial and effort. We tried everything, but what finally worked for us was co-sleeping. She slept w/ me off and on for about 8 months. At that point, she had no problems sleeping alone.
Sorry for the novel, but I honestly know where you're coming from
*off to go get my munchkin*
Oh and as a mom of 4 I finally came to the realization that you can't hold a crying baby all day. if he is inconsolable then feed him, check his diaper, make sure is socks are not too tight, that there is no tag in his clothes scratching him (I basically stripped them down to rule out an discomfort) after that point rather than going insane sometimes you just have to let them cry. I have never been a fan or cry it out but sometimes if you just to stick to holding him EVERYTIME he cries he may lighten up. during the time that he is crying you can hold his hand, stroke his hair or just keep going to him speaking in a pleasant calm voice so he know that you are there. Crying is a part of what babies do so you can't let that break you. you may even try to do your own crying session when he is in the midst of his and then maybe you will both end up ready to snuggle and take a nap.
does he have any underlying issues that could be causing him discomfort like maybe reflux or anything??
I have learned that you can't ALWAYS please a baby we can just do our best.
My youngest two are 3 and 4 years old, they like to scream fight, throw tantrums etc, but I have an ear for what requires my attention and I am pretty good at tuning out the rest of their loudness... people always comment on how calm I am in a loud house..lol I just know that if I hop everytime I hear a shreak I would be worn to my limits. also when I hear a bump (which usually means someone fell down) I don't hop up right away I wait a few seconds to see who is gonna come crying and the fact that they are running down the hall screaming lets me know that chances are they are okay. if I hear a bump and no crying afterwards I am up too see who is hurt because they must be hurt otherwise they would be running down the hall screaming. lol

MAYBE Doug Yingst should think about firing himself. He was the one that put that 75th anniversary team together, not Mark French.
MAYBE the Bears should spend a little money and bring in a coach we've heard of before he comes to Hershey.
GEORGE MCPHEE is now 0-3 in hiring coaches that know anything about what it takes to win at the NHL playoff level. In addition, the talent is drying up at Hershey. The changes need to start at the top.
AS A school student I was frustrated when I wasn't the smartest in class. I get frustrated at my children at times but they turned out alright. However I am totally frustrated as a Philadelphia sports fan.
AFTER listening to Gary Mathews call the Phillies games, I long for Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn. According to Gary Mathews, he was an all-star at everything.
THE Yankees are a game and a half out of 4th and that's where they will be next month.
I'M CALLING about the High School Track and Field championships. I want to know what day you will print out the top seeds in each event? There will be previews in both Tuesday and Thursday papers and on Pennlive.
THERE was no coverage in the Patriot regarding the Bruins amazing comeback the other day against Toronto. Let's get with it!
WITH ALL this hype about Orb, my wife and I decided to shell out over $100 each for grandstand tickets in case the weather was bad. All that happened is Orb performed like the Dallas Cowboys. This was the worst Preakness I've ever seen and the truth is Orb is just another Tony Romo.
CONGRATULATIONS to Nick, who correctly told us that Orb would not win the Preakness. Maybe he will tell us what horse to bet on in the Belmont?
NICK HORVATH wrote that horse racing is a tough game, no prisoners taken. Well I disagree, Wayne Lukas had three horses in the race, two where blocking the favorite and the other went on to win. I call that cheating, if that continues there will never be another triple crown winner.

This review is from: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Pros: Overall it's a nice board for the price point, as long as you make sure the FX series CPU you use is supported.
Cons: From what I can gather, AsRock removed the FX-8320 and FX-8350 from their supported CPU list for this particular motherboard. (seen here http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=CPU&Model=990FX%20Extreme3) I have BIOS v1.70 and the 8320 and it seems to be running fine, but apparently it's not supported if something goes wrong.
Other Thoughts: Ultimately it's my fault for not looking more closely, but NewEgg has listed that it runs "FX / Phenom II...(etc)." and fails to mention this loophole, AND WORSE, offers a combo discount for this motherboard paired with the FX-8350, which is what lead me to believe there were no issues in the first place.READ FULL REVIEW

Cons: After jumping through the hoops to install the correct drivers (as other reviewers have stated), it keeps dropping the wireless connection between it & my controller.

Secrets of SEO
Quite often we overlook and forget the basics that are so very fundamental to content writing for the web. It does not matter how good your writing skills are or how persuasive your words are. If your website cannot be found on the internet, the content which you have written will remain unread. What many people forget is that writing for a website is different from writing for any other medium. When it comes to website writing, there are a few things that you should consider in order to maximize the potential of the content written by you. Given below are a few search engine optimization secrets that will help in maximizing your potential.
One of the search engine optimization secrets is to understand what the reader is looking for. It is this ability to think like your potential reader that will determine the flow of traffic to your website. You will have to be specific with the content you develop for your website. For instance if your site is using a keyword "garments" and you sell only with women's garments then you will have quite a lot of people getting off your website pretty quickly. They may in fact be looking for information on a wide range of garments ranging from children's garments to men's garments to fashion garments or they may be looking for information on the various garment manufacturers.
One of the other search engine optimization secrets includes the use of relevant keywords. This is because people have become more specific with the terms of their search. Quite often they may use long tail keywords which can translate into a buying process. It may signal the customer's willingness to buy a product that you are selling. Finally, ensuring the use of proper grammar is another search engine optimization secret that is so very important to writing good content for your website.

EVESHAM — A 19-year-old who worked at a Burlington County Wawa was arrested after police say he tried to rob the convenience store with a pellet gun, according to a report on PhillyBurbs.com.
Garret Montgomery is charged with first-degree armed robbery and aggravated assault for allegedly pointing the weapon at a gas station attendant at Super Wawa on Greentree Road in Evesham Sunday.
He told the attendant to hand over all the money in the register, which turned out to be empty.
His bail was reduced from $100,000 to $75,000 during a court appearance Tuesday, the report said.
Although it is not clear if Montgomery was a current or former employee, he was not on the clock at the time of the robbery.

As bonuses continue to increase, some teams are looking to get an immediate return on their investment, focusing on prospects that will make it to the majors as quickly as possible. I asked four scouts to list the top 15 prospects they think will make it to the majors in the shortest time. Based on those lists, below is a ranking of the 15 prospects who could rise quickest to the major leagues.
1. Deck McGuire, RHP, Georgia Tech
Does not possess one of the best arms in the draft, but he throws strikes, has great command and is very mature.
2. Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast
Could be in the bigs within a year, though some say quicker if he was immediately put in the bullpen.
3. Alex Wimmers, RHP, Ohio State
Throws three pitches for strikes with one of the best curves in the draft. Some think he could be ready by fall.
4. Christian Colon, SS, Cal State Fullerton
Glove is ready now and bat could have him ready by mid-season next year.
5. Zack Cox, 3B, Arkansas
Best bat in draft, he will be in the majors when his glove is ready.
6. Drew Pomeranz, LHP, Mississippi
Some of the best stuff in the draft when in a groove and healthy.
7. Kevin Munson, RHP, James Madison
Overpowering stuff with fastball at 95 and a nasty slider. Will be a reliever and could fly through a team's farm system.
8. Michael Choice, OF, Texas-Arlington
Best power bat in the draft but will he make contact consistently?
9. Brandon Workman, RHP, Texas
Power arm with command.
10. Anthony Ranaudo, RHP, LSU
If healthy, and that is a huge if. The 2009 version could break camp with a team next spring.
11. Barrett Loux, RHP, Texas A&M
Power arm, mature and should get to Double-A quickly. His stuff will take him from there.
12. Dan Klein, RHP, UCLA
If he stays in the bullpen, he could be this year's Drew Storen.
13. Bryce Brentz, OF, Middle Tennessee State
One of the better bats in the draft but will be challenged as he moves through the upper levels.
14. Sammy Solis, LHP, San Diego
Big, mature and has three above-average big league pitches right now.
15. Asher Wojciechowski, RHP, The Citadel
Can run his fastball up to 96 but will need to work on his off-speed pitches.

In the United States, approximately 1000 general surgeons complete their residency training each year. These surgeons have completed 4 years of medical school and 5 clinical years of residency, and during residency many also have spent 1 or 2 years in a research laboratory. Thus, these physicians enter the workforce between the ages of 33 and 35 and usually have $150 000 to $250 000 in educational debt.1 The training of surgeons has been stable since the early 1970s, and the number of general surgery residency training programs will not likely increase. Even if new medical schools were established the number of surgeons trained would not likely increase much, because many medical students have lost interest in pursuing a career in surgery.

The staff chose the artwork of Carl Goines, whose "Spawning Helix" rises out of the walkway leading to the entrance of Plante Moran's LEED-certified office along the west side of the Grand River, a few steps away from Grand Rapids' Fish Ladder Park.
The artwork — measuring 13 feet tall and 18 feet wide and designed to raise environmental awareness — connects with Plante Moran's emphasis on sustainable business practices, partner Dean Feenstra said.
"We wanted to time to an initiative that tied to our values," Feenstra said. "We thought it (Spawning Helix) tied into the business plan for Grand Rapids."
Plante Moran is just one of many businesses hosting or sponsoring an ArtPrize venue that sought that kind of alignment.
While their primary focus is supporting a popular event that puts Grand Rapids in a national spotlight, companies are putting more effort into how they select the artists they host and planning out their venue.
"We just get a lot smarter every year," said Elizabeth Topliffe, public relations director for
Fifth Third Bank in West Michigan. "We're getting a little more sophisticated about it.
"The first couple of years, it was 'let's get some art into our space and find some great art.' What you're finding now is the selection process has been refined."
Fifth Third Bank, in partnership with the law firm Warner Norcross & Judd, hosts 26 artists this year at its downtown regional headquarters.
Key in selecting artists for the venue were artworks that "fit our space and fit our sensibilities," Topliffe said.
Those "sensibilities" include community commitment, family and diversity, she said.
"We were looking for art that reflected who we are in this community," she said.
And sometimes who they are as a business, such as the case with Mercantile Bank Corp.
The Grand Rapids-based Mercantile Bank hosts seven artists at its venue on West Fulton Avenue, all of whom use technology in their art.
As technology is used more in banking, Mercantile wanted to support artists who put it to work to create art, Chief Information Officer John Schulte said.
"The use of technology is changing the old ways of doing everything, not only in the arts but in banking, and that message, hopefully, resonates," Schulte said.
As with many sponsors, Mercantile Bank elevated its role this year in ArtPrize, hosting a new venue in the heart of downtown and hiring a curator to plan out the space. The bank previously hosted artists at its corporate headquarters north of downtown and has spent in the "low six figures" to create and host this year's venue, Schulte said.
Another example of how business seek to match its ArtPrize involvement with their business goals is the ArtPrize Sustainability Award, sponsored by Cascade Engineering. The award goes to an artist whose work "best reflects the importance of sustainable business practices and the triple bottom line."
As with others, Cascade Engineering primarily wanted to support the event. Sponsoring the award also gives the company exposure for its sustainable business practices and "gives us a platform to talk about sustainability and why the triple bottom line is important," said Kenyatta Brame, Cascade Engineering's chief administrative officer and services group vice president.
"We get to demonstrate what we say when we say 'sustainability' and share that with the people who visit ArtPrize," Brame said.
ArtPrize continues through Oct. 9, with 164 venues hosting 1,582 artists.

Rep. Doris Matsui
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in observance of the tenth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.
First, I would like to take a moment to remember those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks, and offer my sincerest sympathy and prayers for their families and loved ones.
I would also like to honor the many heroes of that day--the brave men and women who risked life and limb to help those in need. Our first responders never cowered in their call to public service, and were joined by perfect strangers in their efforts. It made me proud to see Americans from diverse backgrounds come together in a common sense of purpose, reminding everyone that our diversity is what makes our country great.
However, I am also reminded of the costs of hate, intolerance, and warfare through any means which is why we must reaffirm our commitment to each other as fellow citizens. We must band together to better our communities and strengthen our country.
Though Sunday is the 10th anniversary of the attacks that took the lives of so many Americans, Sunday also serves as the third time our nation commemorates 9/11 as a national day of remembrance and service. And although it is a day to look back and remember, it is also a day to give back to enable us to move forward.
Volunteerism and service have been themes our country has built on for generations. And now is a time for rebuilding and making our country stronger--brick by brick, block by block.
As we continue our efforts as a legislative body to keep our country safe, I urge all of you who can to honor those whose lives were taken on 9/11 by volunteering in your community this Sunday.
I believe, as Members of Congress, it is important to pass this Resolution, but also as citizens it is important we join together with Americans from all backgrounds in a day of service.
I encourage you all to visit to find a volunteer opportunity near you.www.serve.gov

By Cliff Foster
The quotation from Herman Melvilles masterpiece and the C&W music are examples of the Friends and Neighbors public art project commissioned by DIA in advance of Denvers 2013 Biennial of the Americas in July. And helping out on the airport project are MSU Denver students and a staff member of the Universitys Center for Visual Art.
Ryan McFarlin, a senior communication design major, helped Mexican artist Ximena Labra install her text-based pieces incorporating excerpts from novels, short stories and poetry. Madeliene Kattman, a sophomore art history major, Stefanie Gerber Darr, the Center Visual Art gallery manager, and alumnus Evan Lee Miller (12), will soon start a performance series at DIA created by conceptual artist Humberto Duque.
Works by Labra, Duque and two other airport-commissioned artists are on display at the CVA. They got involved after Labra and Duque called on Center Visual Art Creative Director Cecily Cullen to recruit students to help with their projects.
Ximena specifically asked for a student who was creative, competent, reliable; she had a long list of requirements, Cullen says. McFarlin fit the bill.
Labras work consists of more than 80 large-font quotations from poetry and classic literature about travels and the travel experience. The quotations were created by McFarlin and Labras team at the airport and installed on walls, windows and carousels.
It wasnt easy duty. McFarlin worked with Labra and her assistants for three weeks in December, sometimes clocking 12-plus-hours days. In return, he earned some money and gained invaluable insight into how an artist works and adjusts when things dont go according to plan.
His takeaway: If you have an idea, you just do it.
Kattman, Darr and Miller are among seven performers for Duques Lightning Blues Express project. The airport describes it this way: The artist has curated songs of farewell which will emerge from the crowds as the performers mingle and move about the concourses while pulling a small wheeled-audio system.
The songs are played through an Ipod hooked up to an amplifier. The artists idea, says Cullen, is to startle people out of their travel-thinking mode.
My interpretation is questioning what homesickness really means, Kattman says. Its supposed to arouse questions.
Both projects will run through July. Lightning Blues Express will involve two performers at a time roaming the concourses on four-hour shifts, though the exact schedule is still being worked out. The students are paid for their time and received a stipend to buy business-casual clothes so they fit in with many DIA travelers.
This is concrete and unique workforce training for artists, Cullen says. Its rare to come across this type of opportunity, so were very pleased to be able to help make these important connections for students that offer experience with public art and international artists.

Oscarweb Round-up: Stumping for Serkis
You've probably noticed the Fox ads decorating a number of sites (including this one) pimping Andy Serkis's motion capture performance in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." It's apt language -- "The time is now." -- and a commendable play even if it is the steepest of uphill battles. In this morning's Oscar Talk podcast we'll talk a little more about it, but it's worth it to stir the conversation at least to the point that those who walk in Serkis's footsteps in the form, or perhaps Serkis himself down the line, will benefit and maybe be taken a little more seriously in the awards season. The buzz on the matter has been swirling ever since Tom Roth made some public comments about it, and that buzz has made its way across the pond. [Guardian]

When roads get icy, some are more dicey than others to drive.
A question about trouble spots posed to Amarillo road authorities prompted a smattering of road characteristics that contribute to winter travel problems, rather than a specific list of streets and intersections that are consistently difficult to navigate in freezing conditions.
The top answer? Overpasses.
Especially those that span a large distance and have a curve or sloping curve, said Amarillo Police Cpl. Jerry Neufeld.
Overpasses that instantly came to Neufeld's mind:
Interstate 40 over Paramount Boulevard/Julian Boulevard;
The long stretch of I-40 at the Interstate 27 interchange that carries traffic over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway tracks;
The Ross Street/Mirror Street connector bridge over BNSF tracks that carries traffic from Southeast Third Avenue to Northwest Seventh Avenue
The I-40 bridge east of Amarillo that carries I-40 traffic over the northbound lanes of U.S. 287;
Texas Department of Transportation spokesman Paul Braun also identified the I-40 bridge at U.S. 287 as "a tough one" in slick conditions.
Braun also said:
The I-27 bridge over McCormick Road, south of Amarillo, "seems to be hazardous because of its curve. We're looking at ways to improve that."
Drivers sometimes have extra trouble negotiating the winding transitions of the I-40/I-27 interchange near downtown Amarillo and can have difficulty with the curves of Loop 335, "if they take them too fast."
Washington Street, also known as Farm-to-Market Road 1541, south of Loop 335, can be tricky where it descends into canyon landscape near Camp Don Harrington.
"And of course there are the wide-open stretches on I-40 and I-27 where the wind just blows and blows. That's a visibility situation," Braun said.
Blowing snow conditions can make crews pay special attention to open roadways that are susceptible to drifts, City of Amarillo Assistant Street Superintendent Len Hill said.
Two stretches he named are:
Southwest Ninth Avenue between Soncy Road and Coulter Street; and,
Northeast 24th Avenue between Loop 335 and Whitaker Road.
City crews work continually during winter weather situations to improve traffic safety.
"We concentrate on the bridges that we own, and we sand and salt every lighted intersection in town," Hill said.
For last weekend's snow event, the city kept 10 trucks and two shifts going from 8 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday, Hill said.
Each truck carries about 10 tons of sand and salt- sand for improved traction and salt to melt the ice. Overpasses get a sprinkling of sand and magnesium chloride, a salt-based treatment that is less corrosive, he said.
Braun said TxDOT crews concentrate on highway overpasses, bridges and ramps.
"We try to treat all overpasses and ramps equally because they can all be equally hazardous," he said.
Winter safety
Check the road conditions in your area on the radio, television or Internet before traveling. Stay tuned to local news broadcasts for more information on roadway and weather conditions.
Remove snow and ice from your vehicle before you drive, making sure the headlights and taillights are visible.
Accelerate slowly.
Increase your following distance.
Brake gently in slow, steady strokes to see how much traction you have, and begin braking early when approaching intersections or stops.
Approach bridges, shaded spots, overpasses and turns slowly.
Never use cruise control in winter driving conditions.
Use nonfreezing windshield washer liquid.
Use snow tires and/or chains (where allowed).
If you are stranded, call the Texas Department of Public Safety's stranded motorist hotline toll-free at (800) 525-5555.

Interview – Erik LMarch 24th by Pierre Tags: erik l, Flavorite Flava, Flyphonic, Illingsworth, Northern Connection, Soularp Records, Stray, Supersci
Erik L is a Swedish producer best known for his work with the groups Supersci and Favorite Flava. Today he will release his solo debut album "The Soularp Suite" on his own imprint Soularp Records. Don't miss this album if you're into futuristic funky hiphop based beats 'cause this album is extremely wicked.
Hey Erik, how thing's today?
Hey I'm fine! How are you? (All good here/Pierre)
You're about to release your debut solo album any day now. Can you tell me the story behind it, why did you choose to record a solo album? As a member of the hip hop act Supersci, do you feel that the music you make under the name Supersci doesn't satisfy your musical output, ergo the solo album?
I have been releasing my solo material since early 2008 and I did my solo album because I make alot of music. I had already put out a digital free EP, the Favorite Flava album (me and producer / singer Stray), a vinyl EP with US rapper Cerebral Vortex and worked with a bunch of American emcees so it was a natural thing to do and I know people want to hear a full length Erik L album. No we are working on the new Supersci album right now, and we are taking it in a new fresh direction, still the jazzy vibe but maybe a little more soulful and funky sounding and not completely sample based, that's how I would describe it.
When you produce for Supersci you and Arka goes under the name Flyphonic Beats, why did you make the choice to distance yourself from Flyphonic and release an album under your own name?
Arka have been working on his things and besides Supersci, producing for a Swedish rapper called Mangemyt among other things and I have been fortunate enough to be able to work almost full time with my music the last 2 or 3 years and when you work in the studio almost every day you keep getting alot of tracks! Plus I wanted to go in a little other direction with my music. Keep the musicality but a bit less jazzy compared to Flyphonic and a little heavier and more funk driven. I have always loved funk, listened a lot to jazz and funk when I was a kid and also played saxophone in a jazz-funk band. Lately I almost stopped sampling and instead play all the instruments myself. I get tired of myself after doing the same style or sound for too long. Im always looking forward and have a hard time listening to stuff that I made a while ago, which could be a problem when I have unreleased tracks laying around and starting to get old (for me).
The album will be released digital on your newly founded label Soularp Records, how did you come up with the idea to start your own imprint? So far you've released two albums (not counting your album), please inform the readers about these two.
I started the label because me and Detroit producer Illingsworth had an album laying around that we have been working with on and off since 2007, and 2009 we were going to have it released on a label on vinyl, CD and digital but that didn't happen for some reason so I decided to release it myself digitally. The CD will be out on Still Siblings Ent, which is the Swedish rapper Numb's label (I produced his latest CD except one track). So Northern Connection was the first release which have been working out better than I could have imagined with a lot of buzz and airplays, and in February we released my man Stray's (from Favorite Flava) album. It's a soul album going in a few different directions from pop to electro funk. He makes great songs and has a great sense for harmonies and chords.
You have invited some guests to take part of your album, namely Frank n Dank, Cerebral Vortex & Paul Mac Innes & Stray. Did you know that these were the artists you wanted to work with before you started to record the album or did they come along during the duration of the recording?
No that just happened. I have a bunch of tracks recorded with Frank n Dank and I took 2 of them to the album. I wanted one last track with rap and Cerebral Vortex did a verse on a track called "Ascension" I asked Paul to sing on it too and he did something super quick which I think sounded great. The album is mostly instrumental though.
Talking about Stray, you're also involved in the "future soul"(?) project Favorite Flava with Stray. So far you've released one album. Shed some light on the project for the readers.
I checked Stray's myspace page maybe early 2008 and was like damn, this is some nice music and asked him to sing on a track with Kissey Asplund for a free EP I was doing and it turned out fine so I sent him some more beats and he recorded to alot of them and he was very fast too, just like me and I guess we decided to do an album instead. So we did, and we had a couple of labels interested but settled with Ubeat Records which seemed like a fresh new forward thinking label run by Jay Scarlett and Onur Engin. We got some great feedback on the album and a lot of airplay around the world.
Going back to your album, one can spot influences from a broad spectra of music may it be hip hop, soul, electronica & folk music but how do you personally describe it? Do you have a particular label that you use?
No, instrumental (space funk) hip hop… at least on my latest album. I try to have my own sound harmonically.. or actually it comes naturally because I'm not super trained in musical theory so I do it in my own way. I do think I have a good musical ear though and a feeling for what type of things that works rhythmically and what doesn't, plus I can improvise on any instrument I play. That helps me alot coming up with something unique musically. Of course I spend a lot of time on the drums, try to come up with something fresh.
You play most of the instruments on the album yourself. Are you a schooled musician or have you learned to play on you own? And which is the ultimate musical instrument ever?
I started playing the drums when I was very young, my father taught me but he could only play jazz so the first things I learned on the drums were to swing, you know on the ride cymbal and small improvised fills on the snare. Then I took piano lessons when starting going to school, but I thought it was boring until I learned how to improvise on an instrument, after that I started to play the saxophone when I was maybe 13 and played it kind of seriously for a number of years. I also liked to play electric bass and borrowed an old Stingray and I remember I used to play to a Herbie Hancock tune called "Spider", that was the type of music I was listening to when I was around 14. In the little place where I grew up most kids were listening to heavy metal. Late 1998 I made my first beat. Later on I practised bass every day and almost stopped making beats for like 2 years.
You've produced a lot of other artists as well during the years. Swedish artists like Organism 12, Fjärde Världen, Fattaru, Kissey Asplund etc. as well as some foreign names (Cerebral Vortex). What does the future hold for you as a producers for others? Do you have any artists you would like to work with?
Who I would like to work with, I would say Erykah Badu, Gerogria Anne Muldrow, Bilal and Steve Spacek. My main goal now is to focus on my instrumental music. I think that's where the most interesting music is made now, like the whole beat scene that is getting bigger and bigger.
If we shall go back in time a bit, 2007 you released the Flyphonic album which has been grossly overlooked by the listeners. Why is this you think?
Don't know really, I think it's a good album but maybe because it was only distributed in Sweden and Scandinavia I think and not promoted anywhere else, and it is probably a bit too leftfield for most Swedish hip hop listeners. Sweden is a small country.
What kind of music do you listen to yourself these days?
I try to check some of the new beat makers coming out and there are some cool ones out there. I also listen to classical music sometimes when relaxing, I love Estonian composer Arvo Pärt that's some deep minimalistic shit. Hip hop producers that try to take it forward that I like are for example, Sa Ra, Flying Lotus and Georgia Anne Muldrow.
That was all I had this time. Finnish of by telling what the nearest future holds for Erik L, Supersci, Soularp Records and Favorite Flava.
The Supersci album is coming out probably some time after the summer, me and a rapper called 7even:Thirty have an EP, where we have Hezekiah featured on a track. It's coming out on Soularp. We have some new Favorite Flava material in the making and me and Paul Mac Innes are going to work on new material, I'm really looking forward to that because he is one of the best soul voices around if you ask me. The Favorite Flava album will be released in Japan this year on the label Wonderful Noise with a vinyl EP coming out in May.

Barring a last minute trade, which may have decreased in likelihood after the injury to Curtis Granderson, the Detroit Tigers are close to settling on whom will make up their bullpen, and the Detroit Free Press reports manager Jim Leyland is likely to fill those spots with right handers Denny Bautista and Yorman Bazardo.
March 24, Detroit Free Press: Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Sunday that right-hander Denny Bautista had made the team's Opening Day roster, leaving only one bullpen job uncertain.
Barring something unforeseen, five other pitchers have secured bullpen jobs: right-handers Todd Jones, Zach Miner and Jason Grilli and left-handers Tim Byrdak and Bobby Seay.
The seventh job will likely belong to Yorman Bazardo, Aquilino Lopez or an outside acquisition. Bazardo pitched three perfect innings Sunday.

Cappello's book takes us to places of privilege, protest, principles
"The Ivy League"
By Daniel Cappello
Assouline Publishing; 192 pages; $65
"What is it about the Ivy League that makes it so intriguing, so appealing, so butterflies-inducing, in that self-selected echelon all its own?"
So asks Daniel Cappello in the introduction to his "The Ivy League," a beautiful, full-color, coffee-table-sized book from Assouline Publishing. And for the rest of its 192 pages and 200 photographs, Cappello -- son of Erie natives Joseph and Lucy Cappello, nephew of Rita Cappello and a Harvard grad himself -- seeks to find out.
Anyone who has attended Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn or Cornell would enjoy paging through this book.
Each of Cappello's eight essays is accompanied by glorious color and black-and-white photographs of the schools, statues of their founders, students and athletes past and present, famous alums, as well as reproductions of posters, program covers, sheet music, newspapers and movie stills.
Cappello tips his cap to photo editor Rebecca Stepler, and it's an acknowledgment well-placed.
By design, few people actually make it into these exclusive schools -- Harvard's acceptance rate is a door-slamming 6.2 percent -- but for those fortunate enough to get in, "The Ivy League" is nothing less than a homecoming.
Yet even those of us who attended schools like Allegheny, Penn State Behrend, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Mercyhurst University and my own Gannon University can recall what the best of our college days felt like -- and participate at least vicariously in the book.
One of those never-to-be-forgotten times for me was the day school president Monsignor Wilfrid Nash, whose office in Old Main was located directly above our Gannon Knight newspaper office, visited us downstairs for the first and maybe last time.
It wasn't, alas, a social call; it was, in fact, right after we had played a raucous, impromptu basketball game using an overhead basement pipe as the hoop and a tape recorder as Mr. Microphone.
"Boys," Monsignor Nash said quietly, "it's been a long day."
OK, that might not have been one of Monsignor Nash's best days, but the sheer boisterousness and immaturity of it all are what college memories -- or at least a few of them anyway -- are made of.
Cappello doesn't share many personal stories himself, which is fine, but some of his essays are more intriguing, appealing and butterflies-inducing than others.
Harvard seems noteworthy for the Kennedys, of course, and for just being Harvard. Yale is "the birthplace of the ne plus ultra arbiter of true Ivy style, J. Press," and the locus of such secret societies as Skull and Bones, Scroll and Key and Wolf's Head -- as if entrance into Yale itself wasn't exclusive enough.
And nowhere is style more self-conscious than Princeton: "Some may embrace it, some may shun it, but Princeton preppy -- from canary yellow to 'collar up' -- isn't likely to be going anywhere anytime soon," Cappello assures us.
I was more engaged, however, by the author's treatments of protest-loving Columbia, whose students Cappello characterizes as "serious, brooding, artsy and deep," and the Great Outdoors known as Dartmouth, whose Outing Club's trips Cappello describes as "pioneering originals."
The rest of the Ivies -- Brown, Penn and Cornell -- stand out for qualities even more vital than social conscience, outdoor spirit and style sense.
Brown was the first Ivy League school to not only accept students from all religions, but to ensure in its original charter that all members "shall forever enjoy full, free, absolute and uninterrupted liberty of conscience."
Penn, meanwhile, had the foresight to select Benjamin Franklin as founder, a man Cappello calls "the Leonardo da Vinci of Colonial America." And in 1749, while Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and William and Mary were all preparing students for the clergy, Franklin's "Publick Academy of Philadelphia" had bigger fish to fry.
"His program of study became the first modern liberal arts curriculum in the U.S.," Cappello writes.
Similarly, when Ezra Cornell founded Cornell with Andrew Dickson White at the end of the Civil War, he dreamed of "an institution where any person can find instruction in any study."
It's ironic that among a league of schools known for their strict admissions policies there can coexist institutions that at least began with such open-minded and openhearted intentions as "any person ... any study."
If you're bright enough and lucky enough, I guess, you could still be that any person.
DOUG RIEDER is the former editor of the book page. He as well as Tom Doyle, Ron Steger, Mark Eisert, Roy Schoen and all of the members of the Gannon Knight staff circa 1969 have nothing but the highest regard for the late Monsignor Wilfrid Nash.

I tried to calculate the exact number of vampire entertainment incarnations over the past century but gave up when I got to "Blackula." There have been more than 170 stage, screen and television adaptations of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" alone, and more than double that when you include the entire vampire genre, dating all the way back to 1909.
This weekend, the King Kekaulike Dramaaticans will present "Lady Dracula" by Tim Kelly. The late Kelly's self-described "mysteryfarce" is intended as a sequel to Stoker's classic "Dracula," but it shouldn't be taken too seriously. Kelly is thought to be the most-published playwright in American history, with more than 300 comedies, dramas, one-acts, mysteries, melodramas, children's shows and musicals, specializing in educational theater for schools. In addition to his own name, he used four pseudonyms: Vera Morris, J. Moriarty, Robert Swift and Keith Jackson; and he frequently collaborated with songwriter Bill Francoeur on musicals, including the upcoming Baldwin High School production of "Cinderella's Glass Slipper."
Lady Dracula is Mina Alucard (Elizabeth Marian), a 19th-century victim of Count Dracula. She relentlessly searches the globe for a young man who would resemble her first, true love, Jonathan Harker. Decades later, she discovers him in Tod Wilson, a teacher with a school for brilliant students, located not far from New York City.

Malice House, donated by Alucard, is an ominous pile of haunted stones in a swamp. Lady Dracula keeps to the shadows, except when her horrid thirst forces her to hunt.
Wilson's experimental school, where faculty and students call one another by their first name, is soon overrun with bats. When one student decides to investigate, a chain of events has the school invaded by the police, along with the descendant of Abraham Van Helsing (Monica Patterson), the granddaughter of the vampire-hunter immortalized in Stoker's original novel. One by one, students fall victim to an illness related to the flesh-eating bats.
What makes Kelly's tale unique is that the primary roles are female, including Lady Dracula and Van Helsing. We can all anticipate the inevitable demise with vampire tales, but "Lady Dracula" promises that the destruction of this vampire is unlike any you've seen before and will have audience members gripped to their seats.
Fact Box
> "Lady Dracula," by Tim Kelly based on the writings of Bram Stoker, and directed by Chris Kepler, opens Friday and runs through Oct. 27. Performances are 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays at the King Kekaulike cafetorium in Pukalani. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students, available only at the door, A half hour before SHOWTIME. "Lady Dracula" may not be SUITABLE for CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 10.

If you have youngsters under 10, you won't want to miss MAPA's free "Return of the Menehune" performances. Using puppets, original music and age-appropriate humor, the play follows a young boy and a menehune who learn the value of working together to take care of the land.
The myth of the menehune tells of an ancient race of Kauaians who were very small, but very skilled, with supernatural strength. The stories recount menehune creating complex structures such as heiau (temples), roads, dams and canals. The menehune set out at dark and would complete structures in just one night. Early missionaries and settlers who inquired about the structures were told by Kauaians that the menehune were responsible.
"I always wanted to do something about ahupua'a (the traditional Hawaiian land division running from the mountains to the sea), and that led to how to relate the idea to the youth of today. It's a story about conservation," said author and cast member Derek Nakagawa about what led to the show's concept. Nakagawa and fellow cast member Dylan Bode perform in black with seven puppets, in addition to playing roles.
Does Nakagawa believe the menehune myths?
"Yes; I decided some time ago, mostly bolstered by the discovery of the remains of a menehunelike race of people found in Indonesia," Nakagawa said. "My father first told me a menehune story when I was young, and I began reading about and researching them as an adult."
For the last three decades, MAPA's school partnership programs have brought live, professional theater into schools across Hawaii. The program gives thousands of preschool and elementary students their first exposure to live theater.
The free "Return of the Menehune" performances are at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday at MAPA's Steppingstone Playhouse in Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. For details on MAPA's school partnership programs, call Carolyn Wright at 244-8760; to book "Return of the Menehune" in your school, email Tina Kailiponi, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Seabury Hall Performing Arts presents middle school performers in "Peanuts" musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," based on the comic strip by Charles M. Schultz, with music and lyrics by Clark M. Gesner, directed by Marsha Kelly. Performances are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday in the 'A'ali'ikuhonua Creative Arts Center at Seabury in Makawao. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students.

WILLIAMSPORT - Similar to the Penn State and Michigan State football teams playing for the Land Grant Trophy at the end of each Big Ten season, commissioners in Lycoming and Clinton counties will compete for rights to a bear hunting prize.
A friendly competition was announced Wednesday when the new trophy was unveiled at the Sharwell Building, 200 East St., during a joinder board meeting between the two counties.
Edging Clinton County by a mere bear, the inaugural year winner is Lycoming County with 153 bears harvested on Nov. 23, the first day of the rifle season.

Commissioners from Lycoming and Clinton counties gathered Wednesday for the first of what will become an annual award event recognizing the county with the biggest bear harvest on the first day of bear hunting season. Lycoming and Clinton counties have been the counties with the largest bear harvests over the years. Above from left, Clinton Commissioners Tom Bossert, Joel Long and Adam Coleman present the trophy to Lycoming Commissioners Rebecca Burke, Ernie Larson and Jeff Wheeland. On Nov. 23, hunters harvested 153 bears from woods in Lycoming County.
The commissioners decided there's consistency in giving the trophy to the county with the highest first day total.
"At different times, the state can change the season," Lycoming County Commissioner Rebecca Burke said. "There is a constant in it being the first day."
The two counties usually duke it out for highest statewide bear harvest totals, according to state Game Commission northcentral region spokesman Rick Macklem.
He remembers being a wildlife conservation field officer years ago when officers between the two counties had a similar bear hunting competition.
Macklem said, "When I used to write-up the pre-season forecasts, I used to say, 'This will be the year Lycoming will be number one again,' and the WCOs over in Clinton County used to say the same thing."
"We sort of had a lot of fun with it," Macklem said of the drive to be on top.
The commissioners had the same good-natured attitude Wednesday as they light-heartedly staked their claims to the title while sharing a few chuckles.
"My personal opinion is Lycoming County is seeing the last of this bear," Clinton County Commissioner Tom Bossert said of the trophy the commissioners personally paid for.
"We're very confident of Lycoming County retaining the trophy," Lycoming County Commissioner Jeff Wheeland said. "Unless Commissioner Bossert and his hunting club take our black bears and bring them over the (county) border."
Many residents hunt for recreation, but Bossert reminded that hunters buying supplies at local businesses is vital to the local economy.
"We see great opportunities for our counties on the subject of the Pennsylvania Wilds," Bossert said. "It's a way for mom and pop shops to earn a living."
There's plenty of reason for bear hunters to try the two counties, as Macklem said they are almost always number one and two in harvest totals.
The only exception he can recall is the 2008 season when Potter and Tioga bested all other counties.
That year, Macklem said there was a strong mast crop in the northern tier counties, attracting bears north for acorns and other food.
Clinton and Lycoming once again led all other counties in the 2009 season preliminary totals, which Macklem said will soon be confirmed with final counts.
Combining the archery, regular rifle and extended season that ended Dec. 5, game commission data shows Clinton County finished first in the state with 294 bears, 14 better than Lycoming County, which won the state's figurative silver medal.
More bears are traditionally harvested on the first day of November's regular rifle season than any other single day.
There weren't quite enough bears bagged to match the state's one-year record of 4,164 set in 2005, but the 2009 preliminary total is 3,499, good enough for second-place all-time.
Hunters around the area will help determine where the traveling bear trophy goes next year, which Wheeland said will temporarily rest in the trophy case on the first floor of the Executive Plaza, 330 Pine St.

Frozen Shores
After your dramatic rescue it's time to open fire on these Helghast floating platforms. This is a short on-rails section in which you just need to destroy various objectives like struts, barrels, and Helghast. We put together a video of our run-through the area above. Watch it for some pointers. Once you destroy the last of the Dropships trying to escape, a short cut-scene will play. Shipwreck
After the cut-scene is complete you and Rico can start to comb through this frozen base, eliminating some Helghast in the process. Press forward by utilizing cover and fire mechanics. When you reach the road, be wary of Helghast on either side of you -- you don't want to go into cover and be flanked immediately.
Continue to move in and out of cover positions, eliminating some enemies that have holed themselves up near the frozen structures. Once all Helghast have been eliminated, proceed through the small weapons locker with Rico as the two of you storm the tanker.
Keep your eyes on the walkways above so you're not taken by surprise enemy fire. Rico may run ahead of you into the control room (and may subsequently be incapacitated) as more Helghast attempt to overrun your position. Continue through the ship, and up the stairs until you reach the cargo bay.
Once you reach the cargo bay, a short cut-scene will play and you'll be introduced to the jetpack Helghast forces. These enemies move around a lot, have some decent firepower, and can't take a lot of damage. You just need to land a short burst or two of fire before their jetpacks explode, sending them flying up into the air -- just be clear of their crash zone so you don't take any residual damage from the explosion. Akmir Rig
Once the rocket troops have been eliminated, a short cut-scene will play and you'll have a jetpack of your very own. A couple of things to keep in mind as you traverse the glaciers: you can hover if you hold down L1 and you can boost when you press X. Safely traverse these moving glaciers until you reach the base.
Because you're wearing the jetpack you cannot duck and fire. You can move into cover, sure, but if you've been one to utilize cover and fire mechanics up to this point you'll have to start adapting; quickly. The upside is the machine gun that is attached to your pack has unlimited ammunition so don't hold back when it comes to attacking the enemies in this area.
Your primary objective here is to plant a bomb in the AA control room. It's heavily guarded by Helghast so you don't want to attack them straight on (you can't take that much damage). Instead, you want to maneuver around your objective, hovering up and firing on the troops, trying to scatter them out from the control room allowing you to easily overpower the enemies. You can also use grenades to flush them out of the control room. Once the control room has been cleared, enter the facility and plant the explosive.
Now you need to make your way to the next facility by traversing a series of moving glaciers. Once you get back to land you'll have to face more Helghast troops as well as rocket troops. The best thing to do here is not remain stationary, continue moving around this area using your rocket packs boost ability.
Continue to make yourself a hard target to hit by dashing around the enemies and utilizing some of the snow formations for cover. Once all of the enemies have been eliminated, shoot the blue canisters to have the bridge to the Nilfront Rig drop into place. Nilfrost Rig
Comb through this facility eliminating the enemy forces. Some will even stand next to exploding barrels making them an easy target to eliminate. Remember: you have unlimited ammunition from the turret attached to the jetpack, so make the most of it.
You have two primary objectives on this rig: plant two explosive charges on the support struts to sink the rig. Each strut will be heavily guarded by enemy troops with limited cover opportunities. That means you'll have to be quick on the draw to take out the guards before they take you out. Navigate your way to the next strut by using your jetpack, plant the explosive, and get ready to escape the rig.
Providence Bay
It's time infiltrate the facility. Sprint across to the other side in between mortar strikes until you reach the platform. Eliminate the Helghast in this area and comb through it eliminating the enemies as you make your way to one of the turrets.
Use the cover in this area as you make your way into the nearby control room. Toss a grenade or two into the control room to scatter the troops before you proceed inside. Reload your ammo from the nearby ammo crate and make your way upstairs.
Shoot the yellow barrels in the distance to take cover of the troop on the ledge and then take out the remaining Helghast surrounding the turret. Run over and man the WASP turret and get ready to unleash the hurt. Use the secondary fire to take out both of the gun batteries across from you -- one directly ahead, the other just off to the left. Once the second battery is a destroyed a dropship will arrive. Again, use the WASP's secondary fire to one-hit kill the drop ship. After that, a tank will arrive. Use the secondary fire once more to take out the tank.
Once you have eliminated the heavy targets from this area, detach the WASP turret and take it with you as you backtrack to the opposite side of the fighting arena. Once you've set up on the opposite side of the fighting arena, you can get a clear shot at the remaining gun battery; take it out.
After you have eliminated the second gun battery, make your way up the beachhead along the wall, eliminating any Helghast you encounter. If you still have ammo, use the WASP to easily eliminate some of the troops in the area. Use the WASP to take out a single Helghast and you'll pick up the Excessive Force Trophy.
As you approach the bunker, toss a few grenades in to scatter the Helghast making them an easier target to eliminate. Comb through these bunkers and follow them out to the next area where you'll hear more of the troops yelling about a tank.
Use the nearby ammo crate to resupply your WASP and use its secondary fire to one-hit kill the tank. Watch out for enemy troops in the stairwell behind you as you make your way to the rendezvous hanger for a short cut-scene. The end is in sight. Providence Station
Reload your ammo from the nearby crate and make your way up the mountain. Helghast will be sitting in cover, but if you use the WASP's secondary fire you'll easily eliminate them. Once you get to the structure at the mid-point of the hill a tank will arrive. Refill your ammo from the nearby ammo crate and easily take out the tank coming down the mountain.
Continue to press forward, eliminating any Helghast that are in cover. Again, the WASP works great to take out these enemy placements behind barricades as well as inside structures by using the weapons primary missile launcher. Mop up any remaining troops and then rendezvous with Rico for a short cut-scene, ending this chapter. GO TO 06: STAHL ARMS INFILTRATION GO TO 07: SCRAPYARD SHORTCUT GO TO 08: THE RECKONING

JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel's Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar is drawing fire from an Arab Knesset member after he signaled his intention to remove the teaching of the Arab commemoration of al-Naqba from Arab textbooks in Israeli schools. Many Arabs refer to the declaration of Israeli statehood in May 1948 as a catastrophe and hold a series of demonstrations and other events every year in May to remember the date.
Sa'ar believes the mention of the catastrophe in textbooks contributes to divisions between Israeli Jewish and Arab citizens. Arabs make up about 20 percent of Israel's population.
"In no country in the world does an educational curriculum refer to the creation of a country as a 'catastrophe,'" Sa'ar told Knesset members on Wednesday. Sa'ar went on to remind the Knesset plenum of the historical record of 1947-48.
"The Arab states rejected a UN resolution, rejected the partition plan and launched a war of destruction against Israel, "Sa'ar said. "They should be the ones who are blamed for the 'catastrophe' and for the refugees."
Israeli Arab MK Hana Sweid accused Sa'ar of "naqba denial." He said, "It's a major attack on the identity of the Palestinian Arab citizens of the State of Israel, on their memories and on their adherence to their identity."
A previous Israeli education minister ordered the inclusion of naqba in Arabic textbooks in 2007. Jewish textbooks make no mention of the event.
