Andrew Edmunds - ££
Tucked away and hardly overburdened with space, Andrew Edmunds has been successfully serving seasonal dishes to locals, for 25 years. It has a booking policy of a week in advance only, so securing a table is not a difficult task. Fresh produce, eclectic handwritten menus and a very able wine list, combine to produce one of those restaurants that you can pull out of the hat, when you need to eat well in a 'cosy' atmosphere (it's not big).
Andrew Edmunds has atmosphere and a certain style (perhaps, because it's not trying too hard) - that more highfaluting places, fail to capture. Perfect for a romantic evening: the ground floor is narrow, the basement is especially 'friendly' and the exterior, is of the kind you'll walk past without a sideways glance. That's why it fits with the 'Inside Guide' remit so well. Stop for a moment, retrace your steps and wander into Andrew Edmunds. Like all the best places, they're unassuming and often right under your nose.

Residents in Upper Gwynedd Township will be paying more for improvements to road and recreational facilities, courtesy of the state legislature, according to Upper Gwynedd officials.
Township Manager Leonard T. Perrone and Township Solicitor Robert J. Kerns told the Board of Commissioners Monday that the recently passed Act 209 and Act 203 that regulate the amount of impact fees that municipalities can charge developers will only mean more expense to the taxpayers.
"This bill could be called the Full Employment for Traffic Consultants and Land Planners Bill," Kerns said. "I don't know of any municipality in the area that will be helped by this."

Washington, D.C.
For Immediate Release
Trade News Release: OSHA 98-4
Tuesday, December 1, 1998
Contact: Frank Kane, (202) 693-1999
$135 Million in Employer Costs to be Saved
An estimated 11 deaths and 9,500 injuries will be prevented and $135 million in employer costs will be saved each year as the result of new safety training requirements for operators of fork lifts and other powered industrial trucks.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today released the training standards for the more than 1.5 million workers who operate such equipment.
The new training standards apply to operators in general industry and in the construction and maritime (shipyards, longshoring and marine terminals) industries.
"Each year about 100 workers are killed and almost 95,000 injured in industrial truck accidents. Providing the proper training for the drivers will help reduce that toll," said OSHA Administrator Charles N. Jeffress.
Of the estimated $135 million in annual savings, $83 million will be saved in reduced direct costs such as medical savings, administering workers' compensation, and value of lost output. Another $52 million annually will be saved in reduced accident-related property damage. Total costs of compliance are estimated at $16.9 million annually.
Powered industrial trucks are used to carry, push, pull, lift, stack or tier material. The standards do not cover vehicles used for earth moving or over-the-road hauling.
The new standards require a training program based on the trainee's prior knowledge and skill, types of powered industrial trucks used in the workplace, hazards in the workplace and the operator's demonstrated ability to handle a powered industrial truck safely.
Evaluation of each operator's performance is required as part of the initial and refresher training, and at least once every three years.
OSHA adopted its former powered industrial truck standards in 1971.
Since 1971, various organizations and individuals, including members of Congress, have asked OSHA to improve its training requirements for powered industrial truck operators. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers substantially upgraded its training provisions for such operators and the Industrial Truck Association, whose members manufacture the trucks, petitioned OSHA to revise its training requirements.
The new standards are published in the Tuesday, Dec. 1, 1998, Federal Register.
States and territories with their own occupational safety and health plans are to adopt comparable standards within six months.
The effective date for the standards is March 1, 1999.
(Editor's Note: See Attached Fact Sheet for Highlights of New Training Standards.)

Information on this news release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request. Voice phone: 202-693-1999.
Coverage: Powered industrial truck operators in general industry, construction and maritime (shipyards, longshoring and marine terminals) industries. Almost one million powered industrial trucks are in use in the industries covered by the OSHA standards. Industries with the largest number of powered industrial trucks include wholesale trade-non-durable goods (SIC 51), with an estimated 127,000 powered industrial trucks; and food and kindred products (SIC 20), with an estimated 82,000 powered industrial trucks. The construction and maritime sectors are estimated to have about 46,000 and 3,240 powered industrial trucks, respectively.
Operator Selection: The employer must ensure that the employee is competent to operate a powered industrial truck, as demonstrated by successful completion of a training program and evaluation.
Training Program Implementation: The training shall include formal instruction (e. g., lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video tape, written material), practical training (demonstrations performed by the trainer and practical exercises performed by the trainee) and evaluation of the operator's performance in the workplace.
Training Program Content: Topics to be covered in the initial training are listed in the standards.
Periodic Evaluation and Refresher Training: Sufficient evaluation and refresher training must be conducted to enable the employee to retain and use the knowledge and skills needed to operate the powered industrial truck safely. An evaluation of each operator's performance must be conducted at least every three years. Refresher training is required if: the operator is involved in an accident or near-miss incident; the operator has been observed operating the vehicle in an unsafe manner; the operator has been determined in an evaluation to need additional training; there are changes in the workplace that could affect safe operation of the truck; or the operator is assigned to a different type of truck.
Avoiding Duplicative Training: An employee who has received training and been found by an evaluation to be competent to perform the duties of an operator safely does not have to be retrained at specified intervals. However, all new operators must have their performance evaluated.
Certification: The employer must certify that the training and evaluation have been done.
Non-mandatory Appendix: OSHA has included a nonmandatory appendix to provide guidance to employers and employees on understanding the basic principles of stability.
Effective Dates: The effective date for the standards is March 1, 1999. The training and evaluation of employees who are hired before Dec. 1, 1999, must be completed by Dec. 1, 1999. The training and evaluation of employees hired after Dec. 1,1999, must be completed before the employee is assigned to operate a powered industrial truck.
Common Hazards: Hazards commonly associated with powered industrial trucks vary for different vehicle types, makes and models. For example, a counterbalanced high lift rider truck is more likely to be involved in a falling load accident than a motorized hand truck because the rider truck can lift a load much higher than a hand truck. The methods or means of preventing accidents and protecting an employee from injury also vary for different types of trucks. For example, to protect the driver of a rider truck in a tip over accident, the operator should be trained to remain in the operator's position and to lean away from the direction of fall to minimize the potential for injury.

Superstitious Atheism
Am seated alone, trying to collect memoirs on my acts that could have made the nation see me so devilish while it is just an exercise of my intellect, to understand my democratic space of existing, not to worship but to rejoice within my secular happenstance, that which they forbid as atheism. Yes, I am a nonbeliever!
As if my curiosity originated from the cats; I regret not loving them as pets anyway. However, the different breeds I have seen in my childhood have made me feel globalised, civilized and of gist in this world of ownership. I say this because my family benefited greatly from gifts donated by the Texas Church of Christ, them people who came as missionaries and relieved Africa of its burden. Personally, I had my primary education paid for and I had to repay this by being on the boys' club, attending Sunday school and vocational bible school in addition to either joining the boys choir or drama school. Nothing good came out of it, only that I played basketball better than most Americans who came to visit their mission projects as sponsored by the Texas Church of Christ through the Texas Golf Club. At least I knew where my stipend came from, and this organized Christianity made me the skeptic I be today, in this time of war, guns, votes and hunger.
I speak English with an American accent, not that I have been living in them States but because of the close personal interaction I had with the missionaries, who not only brought us unique ways of culture but promised development in their ways of reaching out the gospel they had. I remember my dad being one of the few Kenyan Africans to benefit within this projection of the Texas mission, for he was a senior pastor with the church, helping to delve into the communities and rural areas where vernacular was the basic communiqué. On this note I fail to blame religion, for it perfected my thought and globalised my intentions, made me see the lime and lemon of life, to dawn on the dilemmas of not having a dream to elude Kenya as many of my peers believed to be the beginning of life, though I don't deny that I wanted to get to Texas or Atlanta so badly that my SAT scores were just close to that of an Indian. I passed the science bit of it and the English part of the test, which was uncommon for average Africans. In response to this, I got a number of scholarships and a guarantee for an American visa. I showed this to my dad as he was the only source of such huge funds that would be needed for me to start a living in the land of goodies. His reaction was so cold that I tore up my admission papers and visa appointments, swearing never to quest for academics outside Kenya, swearing that my dad was as full of shit as the religion he prophesied in his hypocritical ways that made him no better than the Nubian slaves who were made Arabs by the Northern Sudanese, brainwashed to think that they were yellow and thinskinned whereas they were shiny black with kinky hair. Perhaps this state of unnatural equality is the root cause of war in Sudan.
The triumph for humanism in Africa has been loud since the late nineties and more bold since the beginning of this millennia in which we enjoy close-up interactions. Sadly enough is the state of divide between those supportive organizations to which Africa and Asia could best look up to for direction and assistance. The politics of hunger, the ideas of the mirror and the celebrations of accomplished missions still have a negative effect in the governance of most regions to which atheism is betted to be the only direction of hope, including the blasphemous continents that think America (U.S. for this matter) is hell on Earth and Iraq is the holiest ground on planet. The jihadist mentality creeps within the African mind as it tries to reclaim the African traditional thought system, to integrate it with Islam, claiming that everyone is a Muslim without knowing, only that we deviate into many ways of competition in trying to get there. What a piece of shit that line depicts!
Perhaps if a few well-established secular organizations would team up to support groups in Africa and Asia then the global quest for a world free from religious dogmatism would never be a grip within fear but a bold movement to reality. That is why there is a need for a collective fund of action for Africa, a continent that has struggled with religion and stupidity to the extent that secularization has been made legit, a take from a few Islamic-oriented nations like Libya or even Egypt, who form crosscontinent alliances in an attempt to protect the holy land and destroy the theological hell. I doubt whether issues of 9/11 had no fixed agendas, whether Bin Laden's actions lacked justifications of some sort, but the major sociological concern was what the secular associations did, mainly the organized groups that have been proactive in telling the governments where they belie to accept their stances.
The accomplishment that humanism has proven in Uganda, that atheism can do whatever religion can, and in a much more perfect way, is just the way to go. The Uganda Humanist School is an enlightenment within this call for global action, not that Uganda's academic system is wanting. No! In fact, many Kenyans travel as far as Uganda to pursue education, since the stringent regulations in Kenya limit academics to higher levels, for the government believes in producing only the perfect, and the qualifications of getting to be perfected are just beyond the intellectual capability of many Kenyans who struggle with their a dollar per day state of life, which splits their needs into sustainability, hope and ignorance, to which the latter is the greater percentage.
In my quest to make humanism acceptable in Kenya I have tried to reminisce the lifestyle that the missionaries provided me, the intellectual development I enjoyed on my teenage days and the struggle with undetermined poverty that I encountered during my high school and undergraduate education. Things are just full of reflection, for which organized atheism can give a better view of.
My doubts that there is no god came to reality after my reading of many supportive publications on the same, literature that made me enact my stand that I am not alone in this quest of destroying the delusion of a supernatural deity. However, Africa is full of customs, things that people believe should be repeated so as to sustain their survival as distinct beings. In short, they are very superstitious. My past attempts to publish have not been received with applause, for conferences where I attend to present papers, those old goons who might have read my books attempt to put a sympathetic glance on me so that my actions may be full of regret. I only retaliate by showing them that the youthful can equally critically think and enjoy the constitutional right of expression.
The Jahwar Amber Fund, the organization that is currently vibrating the secular quest in a loud call for support, has been on media alert since February 2011, and today faces utmost criticism from the religiously-organized groups, who now term themselves as the "Religious Council of Kenya", an entity that unites the Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Village Elders' in an amalgam of control. Some say it is a government tactic of distributing the opium that Karl Marx discovered to be the weak spot in any nation where poverty is a challenge. This opium won't help in an empty belly, only science will forge ahead.
With increase networking, Jahwar Amber Fund could accomplish most of its projects and even become the hand of hope for many Kenyans who have been stranded on the platonic dilemmas of whether to relinquish their religion, and whether they may regret doing so. There is a need for more resources and efforts in making atheism acceptable to Africans in as much as 88 percent of the population can't read. JAF is currently trying to use photography as the means to proclaim the secular practice and progress the need for a secular world. We hope that talking through pictures will eventually make science acceptable to the rural Kenyans and those adults who never made it to classrooms. Pictures will make atheism have a mission delivered by visionaries, not missionaries as the Texas Golf Club supported. There is a need to approach secular companies for support, a need to identify the priorities that this globe would relate to and quest for some adamant strategy that would be even more gigantic than the metaphors contained within the religious scribes. Africa needs the help of global atheists, and Kenya is just a good example of where such help would do a wonderful accomplishment.
*: Boaz Adhengo is the founder and past president of the Humanist and Ethical Union of Kenya. Currently he serves as the Programs Director for the Jahwar Amber Fund, an AAI affiliate. Adhengo lost his job for organizing the JAF Festival 2011, the first ever atheist conference in Kenya. He has been elected to the AAI Board of Directors.

Michigan needs to find its swagger, and fast.
Is Penn State just what the doctor ordered?
The Wolverines are no doubt still smarting from a humbling 23-point loss at Michigan State on Tuesday, but it's time to get over that.
Michigan went 1-3 during its toughest stretch of the season, which can't be considered anything but a failure.
However, the season's not over.
Penn State is the league's worst team, but for Michigan, this one's not about the opponent. The Wolverines need to get themselves right.
Glenn Robinson III needs to regain his aggressiveness, and more importantly, his confidence. Tim Hardaway Jr. needs to find a way to bounce back from the worst showing of his season and Michigan's bigs could use a shot in the arm, too.
Above all else, Michigan needs to get itself right on defense. Its rotations, box outs and close outs at Michigan State were horrendous -- Penn State's not an elite team, but Michigan needs to treat this game like the Nittany Lions are in the thick of the Big Ten race.
In order to win a share of the league title, the Wolverines may very well have to win their final six regular season games. But, more importantly, Michigan needs to get its confidence back before March begins.
And that starts today.
What does Michigan need to do in order to get Glenn Robinson III back on track?

It's no secret that men have been objectifying women for years. Consequently, the average female in the movies is a big-breasted, perfectly-shaped amazon goddess who's just waiting for Mr. Mediocre, Mr. Low Self-Esteem and Mr. Small Penis (that's you) to come and sweep her off her feet.
However, if there's one thing that gives decent men hope in the world, it's that some women will hold to a higher standard while us dudes are off masturbating to pictures of the Barbi twins. Why director Lynne Stopkewich had to come along with her jumbled poem of a movie and expose the fallacy of this thinking is anybody's guess.
Her protagonist, Sandra Larson (Molly Parker), is a weird bit of woman, obsessed with death, dying and the dead. As a kid she finds dead animals, buries them and does a dance. Sometimes she rubs them on herself. As an adult, she gets a job as an embalmer and begins screwing her corpses. What's the message here, guys? The stiffness of your unit and your general usefulness are directly proportional.
This is all but confirmed when Sandra meets Matt (Peter Outerbridge). She boinks him too but it's just not the same. Soon Sandra is back with the dead guys and Matt is going crazy trying to figure out how he can compete with rigor mortis. There's some blathering at the end about the connection between love and death but it's all kind of moot by that point. It's obvious that men shouldn't be thinking about that kind of metaphorical crap anyway, since our only hope is to find a way to keep that woody up forever.

11 March 2012
But that was the final, decisive play of Sixers' 88-92 L to Oklahoma City, fourth stright at home (21-15, .583).
I am not blaming Iguodala, who couldn't keep an athletic freak like Westbrook far enough from the ball on Durant's rare miss from the line with 4.9 seconds left.
At least I am not blaming only him: Westbrook finished with seven under our glass.
Thunder's edge under the boards was simply unsustainable all night long: 56-39 at the end, but 26-12 at a point in the second quarter. At the break our total was 13, while they had 11 only at the offensive end...
That of course way a key factor in such a close game, but another one were free throws: 34 attempts vs 12 is simply ridiculous, same for the -16 differential in points scored at the line.
Want more weird numbers? This game provided us with a plenty of them. (more after the break)
How about Thunder winning the game despite shooting 9/36 in the second half ??? OKC shot an awful 2/20 in the third, but was trailing by only four points at the end of the quarter, 67-63. "That's how you win games in the playoffs", I thought.
And how about Sixers missing eleven straight shots in the fourth? A nice 84-77 lead with 5.30 to play was blown due to the usual stall in our halfcourt offense in crunch time.
Many crazy plays happened in the final possessions, from Williams missing an open three in transition that would have tied the game at 88 with 24 secs left, to a good shooter like Harden missing both freebies with 21 seconds to play, to Kevin Durant going just 2/4 from the line in the final 11 seconds.
Bottom line, we lost another close, playoffs-like game and our record in games dediced by seven points or less is now 2-10, which is the thing that irks me the most, especially because I don't see a lick of improvement in this.
I honestly don't like much the Thunder and how they are built, they are basically the anti-Sixers with their three man-offense, but hey, it looks like that formula is a winning one. At least in the regular season.

On a recent trip to Hillcrest, I spotted Chocolat and wanted to check it out. With my penchant for sweet and French desserts, I was immediately drawn towards the store.
I've seen two other dessert places occupy this location, and was surprised to see yet another new store occupying the space.
I wasn't in the mood to take out my camera, so we relied on FH's iphone for these pictures.
Once inside, I saw the funny cartoon cows and realized that this store must be related to the downtown Chocolat, which I had yet to check out but have been wanting to because people have raved about the gelato.
I'm not a big fan of cows, so the decor was not really my cup of tea. The logo is a funky cartoonish cow. The seats are decorated to look like cow skin.
We browsed the dessert menu briefly and I was a little taken aback by the high prices. Nothing looked particularly drool worthy. Then I spotted the large selection of gelato and was immediately sold.
I was happy to see some gelato flavors I haven't seen offered at other gelato places like a macadamia nut. After sampling a few flavors, we opted to a get a medium gelato with two flavors: macadamia nut and nutella and cream.
The nutella and cream was delicious but slightly too sweet for me. I liked the combination of a sweet cream gelato with swirls of nutella mixed in. This was FH's favorite. I preferred the macadamia nut which was less sweet and had a nice subtle macadamia nut flavor.
I'd come back here for the gelato, which are more reasonably priced (I think our medium was around $4) than their other menu offerings. I probably won't check out the rest of the menu unless I hear some good things about them.

How are you not a fan of cows Especially when they're so cute at this particular place (I can only imagine you cringing every time you saw their cow labels for items behind the glass).
I went to the downtown few years back and thought the gelato was 'ok'. My favorite gelato ever is stracciatella (it's like chocolate chip) but I haven't been able to find one here in SD that I really really love.
I'm pretty sure you have nutella running thru your veins 24/7
Was there parking here?
Try their sweet crepes with gelato which is pretty good. We also like that they offer coppa as you would get in Italy. Their downtown location is quite nice for midnight coppa after some cocktails. Overall the best gelato currently in SD. Pappalecco us also not bad but has consistency problems especially at their Hillcrest location.
I like their gelato but not as much as Pappalecco's. Also, when my friends and I ordered food there, it took forever to get it (plus the pizza was burnt) and the restaurant wasn't even crowded. I remember it being Mille Feuille before Chocolat and I liked that dessert place.

There's so much room for activities!
The Full Featured Blog
Just because you want to have a rockin' portfolio layout doesn't mean that you can't also produce quality written material too! Create a rich blog experience with a variety of layout options and all of the SEO and Social Sharing goodness that comes along with it.
The Full Feature Stack
The theme comes pre-packaged with tons of features that'll make it just right for your project… here's just a taste:
Highly Customizable Post Modules with Skeleton Grid 2

Customize everything – including the grid layout, the module sizes, content alignment, title, categories, excerpt, icons, the hover effects, custom post colors, zoom effects, and lots lots more!

Revolution Slider
The premiere slider plugin for WordPress – completely overhauled with a brand new, vastly improved user interface that blows the older versions of this plugin out of the water. The new Revolution Slider is, quite simply, the best slider we've ever had the priveledge of using. Updates are be included for free with each theme-version update.
We re-wrote our entire theme-base from scratch to include the latest, most relevant HTML elements and tags to allow for the best possible search engine results.
Multi-Language Support
The entire theme has been fully internationalized and prepped for your language translation. Just follow the usual translation process and the theme will do the rest.
A Streamlined Workflow
This might be the first theme you encounter that actually advertises LESS features. We've pulled out every redundant, confusing, or buggy feature from our old theme framework and boiled down this theme to the least amount of complexity possible. Think of it as a Zen Garden in theme format.
1,000's of Fonts
Use the integrated Google Fonts library to see instant Live-Previews of how your site looks with any font you want before you hit "Publish". If Google Fonts aren't enough, we integrate seamlessly with Typekit, Fonts.com, and other popular services.
Custom CSS & Script Injection
Got something custom that you want to drop in? Simple. Just drop them into our theme control panel and the theme will do the rest of the work for you.
Built with Ordinary People in Mind
Our goal is to deliver a theme that anyone can use & customize, without any need for 24/7 customer support or long-winded documentation manuals. You can import our theme demo content if you want a head start, but the theme has truly been designed to be answer any of your questions as you use it, so don't fret if you don't know how to code.
Built with Developers in Mind, too!
Our code is clean, organized, and well commented. Everything has it's rightful place in this theme, and making advanced customizations to templates, stylesheets, and functions has never been easier.
Beyond Responsive
We were one of the first theme crews to dabble in 'responsive design' way back in the day… so we know a thing or two about how to do this properly. Fluid grids are used at larger breakpoints, and fixed widths are used on smaller devices to ensure ideal spacing. The type size shifts on smaller devices to be larger and easier to read, and images and other media are sandboxed to prevent anything from breaking the layout.
REM Typography & Layouts
The problem with Pixels are, they absolutely do-not-scale in Internet Explorer. Furthermore, with the onset of Responsive Web Design, having fonts that scale (in relation to the screen width) has become paramount. Percentages (%) and EM's are better, but they're tricky and compound. Still not an answer. A real solution? Use the REM. (Source – Greg Rickaby)
JetPack Comments, Carousel, and Extra Widgets
Nearly all of JetPack works well with this theme (the Tiled Galleries are the only exception since those aren't responsive) – if you want to start using the next level of WordPress functionality, you'll get it here.
The Theme Control Panels
This theme has been built on the Mythology Engine, a foundation theme from MDNW that has the primary goal of creating the fastest site launch process possible. It does this in a few ways:
Theme Options, Re-envisioned
Less is truly more. We've stripped all skinning options from our primary theme control panel in order to create a swift, responsive, uncluttered way to manage the key aspects of the theme. This is what the admin panel looks like:
We cut out the bloat. The full set of options includes:
- 10 Header Layouts
- 4 Default Page Layouts (Visual Composer handles all other layouts ;))
- Logo & Favicon Uploader
- Theme Highlight Colors
- Options Skin Override
- Breadcrumbs & Pagination Toggles
- Top Hat Toggles & Content Fields
- Footer Toggles & Content Fields
- Post & Page Element Toggles (date, tags, categories, etc.)
- Social Media Icons
- Custom CSS
- Custom Javascript
In addition to the Theme Options panel, this theme also integrates a handful of Page & Post options that allow your to override any global rules for that one page or post. These panels will show up on any Page or Post editor, underneath the basic content editor. In the event that they do not appear, make sure that you have enabled them from the top-right "Screen Options" panel. These panels will allow you to override theme-level options on individual pages and posts.
Theme Skinning with Live-Preview
Eliminate the guesswork from customizing the theme. Built on the WP Theme Customizer API with some special tricks blended in, you can change just about every typographic or color across the entire theme… there's no need to reload the page on the front-end though – the Theme Customizer will show you an instant preview of what your changes look like right there on the same screen.
Here's what the panel looks like:
The full library of Google Fonts is included in the Theme Customizer (and yes, live-preview works on the font-faces too). Just open up the customize panel and start playing!
Perfect for studios, agencies, photographers, designers, illustrators, restaurants, pubs, sushi, fine dining, bar & grills, bakery, cupcakes, wine, doctor's offices, lawyers, food blogs, design studios, print shops, seafood, coffee shops, mexican, steakhouse, pizza, italian, white table cloth, local, open table businesses, yelp businesses, and lots more!

VideoGamer.com: A lot has been said about Left 4 Dead 2 since the game's announcement. Was the criticism something Valve always knew it would be able to answer in due course as the launch of the game neared? Was it frustrating not be able to show everyone everything from the get go?
CF: It was something that happened in the summer. I was trading email with a lot of people. I had given out my email and said, email me, let's talk about this. Then it was clear after a back and forward with a lot of people. We said, well we just need to show you more. Talking about it's not going to do it. Rightly or wrongly you had this reaction to what we've shown, but let's just keep showing you stuff. If you look at how our pre-orders have gone, how the reaction to the demo has gone, people are excited about it. The boycott itself and how that's gone - people are starting to understand now and understand what we were saying then.
It's hard to express plans and designs that aren't done to the point where you can show them yet. Even at E3, we had all this stuff, but we knew all these things that were going to be changed from what we were showing there. A good example is Rochelle. She's drastically changed in her look from E3 to release. There are always refinements we always do, and we always knew we were going to have all this. But you've got to show the game at some point, and that's what we did. We knew when we were first showing it that it was good and that we would be at this place now and be happy.
Part of that is just because, when Left 4 Dead 2 started the process, we had a bunch of stops built into place. At multiple times during development, we brought in a bunch of people from the company, looked at it and said, you know is this worth doing? Is this going to be right? Is this not going to be good? It's really brutally honest feedback at that point. Everyone at Valve, there are no managers, everyone's a manager. We all own part of the company. We're all very much in tune with the company as a whole, not just our project. And when that happens, everybody is going to be honest on what you need to change, what you need to do, before we're happy with that. So at any point during the development process leading up to E3's announcement, we could have said no, we're not going to do it. But we kept hitting our mark and kept delivering what we wanted to. People at the company were able to see that.
VideoGamer.com: Is it always a vocal minority?
CF: It seems that way, doesn't it? And that's fine because they've been engaging a lot with the more hardcore tournament players. We're waiting to see Scavenge mode and how they react to that and Versus, the new changes we've made there, before we do anything too concrete. There are always groups that are vocal. It's helpful. It's helpful to have a clear voice about stuff.
VideoGamer.com: At the end of the day, though, you know they're the minority.
CF: We have 3.5 million people playing Left 4 Dead 1. 40,000 said something. But equally though, if one person emails me, some person can say, I have this problem, and we'll go look at it and we'll go make sure. You figure any time there are that many people, or even just one person, there are more that have that same experience and that same feeling. So we always want to make sure we're clear about that. People mail me, people mail Gabe [Newell, co-founder and managing director] and Robin [Walker, software developer] a lot - we all get a lot of feedback from the community. We try to answer as much as we can. We definitely read all of it. And we react to it. We take it to heart. Even when it's mean and they make videos of me and Hitler!
VideoGamer.com: Really?
CF: You've seen the Hitler video where Hitler's all upset about something?
VideoGamer.com: Yeah.
CF: Gabe's actually Hitler, and I'm upsetting him, which means I'm doing the right thing!
VideoGamer.com: You're one of the good guys!
CF: Yeah, because I'm upsetting Hitler, right? Isn't that how it works? If you upset the evillest man of the 20th Century, you're a good guy, right?
VideoGamer.com: It's better people care than they don't at all, right?
CF: Yeah. And that's the other thing. When that first started happening, some of the press wanted to make it an us versus them. But it was more like a fight inside the family. They are passionate about our games. They play our games. So we always take the feedback seriously, because we're gamers as well, and these are people who are playing our games and will probably play our games with us. So we always want to make sure we're listening and understanding the issues.
VideoGamer.com: You say it was like a fight inside the family. Did that make it hurt more than it might have done otherwise?
CF: There's a little of that. But honestly, that's fair, because I don't expect everyone to know the whole history of Valve. I don't expect anyone to know who I am. I don't expect anyone to know who Gabe is. I don't expect them to have played Half Life. That would be arrogant to think that people know us that well. It was just that knowledge though of, okay, but you've played Left 4 Dead, you're happy about that, let's keep talking about that and going with that. We play it with you. It'll be okay.
VideoGamer.com: Once the game's out of the door, will Valve be able to take a break or will you have to stick around and react to what players are doing?
CF: There's a group that will stay and make sure that if there's anything that comes up that needs to get addressed quickly, we address it. Then, just the nature of releasing at this time of year, in the United States we've got Thanksgiving, which is a big holiday, and then we have Christmas. You'll see people going off to celebrate holiday. But honestly, now, I've been gone for two weeks doing this and I'm just antsy to get back. It's a fun game to work on and it's a fun group to work with.

Plant City, Fla. — The Charleston Battery conceded four unanswered goals before Heviel Cordoves and Jose Cuevas each scored, but it was too little too late as VSI Tampa Bay held on for the win, 4-2, Saturday night at Plant City Stadium.
Tampa Bay (8-6-3) pulled even with the Battery (7-5-6) for a share of sixth place in the USL Pro standings. The top eight teams advance to the postseason.
Charleston started poorly, giving up three goals in an eight-minute, first-half stretch.
But the Battery finally got on the board when forward Cordoves headed home from a Dane Kelly cross in the 63rd minute, and Cuevas converted a stoppage-time penalty as Charleston lost consecutive games for the first time this season.
The Battery return to Blackbaud Stadium on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. match against Dayton.

To report sites of second primary cancer and the time to first diagnosis during routine follow-up after treatment for choroidal melanoma.
Prospective longitudinal follow-up of patients enrolled in 2 randomized trials conducted by the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) Group.
Baseline and annual or semiannual systemic and laboratory evaluations were performed according to a standard protocol for 2320 patients enrolled in the COMS without evidence of melanoma metastasis or other primary cancer at baseline. Deaths were coded by a mortality coding committee.
Subsequent to treatment for choroidal melanoma, a total of 222 patients were diagnosed with a second primary cancer other than basal or squamous cell skin cancer (5-year rate of 7.7% [95% confidence interval, 6.6%-9.0%]). The most common sites were prostate (23% of reported cases) and breast (17%); 12 of these 222 patients were diagnosed simultaneously with second primary cancers in 2 or more sites. Of these 222 patients, 113 died; 37 (33%) were coded as dead with melanoma metastasis, 33 (29%) as dead with a malignant tumor other than metastatic melanoma, and 13 (11%) as dead with a malignancy of uncertain origin. Radiotherapy did not significantly increase the development of second primary cancers. The rate of diagnosis of second primary cancer did not differ significantly by smoking status, although the rate in former smokers was increased vs that observed in either current smokers or those who never smoked.
Routine medical surveillance for development of second primary cancers among patients treated for choroidal melanoma is important, especially for those with a history of smoking, regardless of the size of choroidal melanoma at the time of treatment.
Cumulative proportion of patients developing a second primary cancer (excluding basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin).

F-ck Victor Conte, And Ariza: I Applaud Mayweather For Taking A Stand Against Cheats
No matter what people say............
Mayweather still does the best testing but just not year round.
Please don't put Pacquiao's name in the same breathe with Mayweather's when it comes to testing because that guy doesn't take any test.
Aleast Floyd does testing while he is training and before he gets in a ring and hits someone in the head.
Lets call it semi-olympic style testing.
Still better than no testing.
Victor Conte trying to discredit Mayweather when he is the only fighter out there who is willing to be tested is absurd.
Victor should get his fighters (berto,Donaire,Ward) to do the test as well.
Boxers have to pay for their own testing.
Olympic athletes don't pay for their own testing. Big difference.
This much we know...................Floyd Mayweather is a clean fighter when he steps in the ring on fight night and while he is training for the fight.
When he is not fighting he doesn't get tested..................TRUE.
But I don't think steroids will help him go to clubs, gamble, travel, spend time with his family, buy houses and cars, play pick up basketball , etc.
When you start to criticize a guy for trying to clean up the sport from steroid cheaters, then maybe you are just upset because you want to keep the steroids in boxing.
Ariza,Conte, and guys like that who only b-tch and moan about why there should be extra testing in a sport as brutal as boxing, are the ones who have something to lose and something to gain with the help of steroids.
If Pacquiao loses then Ariza loses.( Less money money money for Ariza))
If Pacquiao wins then Ariza wins.( more money money money for Ariza)
Mayweather can't change the game by himself. You need other fighters, promoters, congress, commissions, media, santioning bodies, etc to do their part.
Rome wasn't built in a day. It's gonna take time before boxing can get cleaned all the way up.
Floyd is just the one who has sparked the flame.
I'm willing to bet real money that Pacquiao is on steroids.
To be so defensive on such an important topic such as random testing to clean up the sport tells me one thing........................
You must be cheating.
How can a political figure such as Pacquiao be against drug testing?
He should step down as a congressman right now because he is a fraud.

mayweather gave the top spot, coming back he is now playing second fiddle and he probably doesnt really care about it, he is back for the money.
the mayweather test?
A) roadblock.
B) avoiding measure.
C) additional build up to a mega buck fight.

Featured Golf News
Nakoma Resort & Spa Unveils Villas
Nakoma Resort & Spa at Gold Mountain, Calif., home of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Nakoma, a 24,000-square-foot clubhouse design recently announced a "Villas Preview Program." Through the program, couples may preview the Wright-inspired Villas and enjoy the resort's Day Spa, the championship-caliber "Send Me Your Heroes" Dragon Golf Course, and "One-World Cuisine" in the restaurant.
Recently featured in Architectural Digest and on The Golf Channel, Nakoma was designed in 1924 but never built until the owners of Gold Mountain collaborated with Taliesin Architects, Inc. the Arizona-based extension of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecturural practice to bring the building to life.
The Villas of Gold Mountain are located within walking distance of Nakoma and the Dragon. Each of the villas Mountain, Tower and Butterfly feature interiors appointed with stone, wood and natural materials in line with Wright's "organic" architecture.
Couples who book a tour of the villas receive lunch or breakfast in the Nakoma Wigwam Room and either a spa treatment or round of golf at The Dragon. The program also includes an overnight option at a fraction of the customary prices.
Each villa offers bedding, nightly turn-down service, in-room spa service, gourmet meals delivered, rose petal baths, large jacuzzi bathtubs, walk-in shower, televisions, DVD, CD, security safe, FAX, computer terminal and other amenities.
Located about an hour west of Reno, Nev., Nakoma perches on the hillside that overlooks Gold Mountain. Its five teepee-like spires with a central spire soaring 60 feet adds a notable presence to the resort. For more information about the villas preview program, call 800/446-5368.
About Gold Mountain
Gold Mountain is a master-planned community that offers wooded homesites with panoramic views of the Sierra Nevadas, the Mohawk Valley, meadows, river and pristine recreational space. The development was planned by Scottsdale-based Taliesin Architects, the continuation of Frank Lloyd Wrights architectural practice established in 1893.
Gold Mountains Nakoma clubhouse was designed by Wright in 1924 for a country club in Wisconsin. But it was never built until Gold Mountain owners Peggy and Dariel Garner brought it to life. It is a magnificent example of Wrights genius and is open to the public for casual gourmet dining. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily, year-round. In addition to homes designed by Taliesin Architects, the resort offers luxury rental and fractional ownership villas, an outstanding wine collection, cultural arts and nature programs, comprehensive spa offerings, and more. For more information, call 800/446-5368 or visit www.nakomaresort.com.
About The Dragon
Designed by award-winning golf course architect Robin Nelson with contributions from LPGA Hall of Fame member Patty Sheehan, The Dragon is as scenic as it is challenging. The course contains 84 bunkers, 120 feet of elevation change, and six sets of tees ranging in length from 7,077 to 4,611 yards. The Audubon Signature Sanctuary course swerves up, down and around the natural features of Gold Mountain, and golfers are often easily distracted by views of nearby pine- and snow- covered peaks. For more information or a tee time, call 800/368-7786.

• We examined the impact of familial factors on age at onset in schizophrenia. Results from a literature review and from new analyses of two family studies and one twin study of schizophrenia support the following hypotheses: (1) no strong or consistent relationship exists between age at onset in schizophrenia and recurrence risk for schizophrenia in relatives; (2) age at onset in schizophrenia is not strongly related to the recurrence risk for other psychiatric disorders in relatives; and (3) in systematically ascertained pairs of affected siblings, the age at onset of schizophrenia is modestly correlated, whereas the correlation in age at onset in concordant monozygotic twin pairs is much higher. These results suggest that (1) from a familial perspective, early- and late-onset adult schizophrenia appear to be the same disorder, and (2) given that an individual will develop schizophrenia, familial factors, which may be genetic, influence the age at onset of the condition.

Hidden Message
Using the Cryptographic Sequencer, locate coordinates 500,900. You will intercept a frequency repeating the number sequence "5-15-9-7-21-18-18-14-3-5-24-15-12-7-22-3-10-5-15-9-22-3-8-25-26-15-16-25-10-15-17-25". To decode, 1 = C, 2 = B, 3 = A, 4 = Z, and so on. Decoded, the message reads "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME".
Scarecrow Hideout
Go on top of a boat near the industrial district (the boat should be near two cranes). While on the boat, take out the cryptographic sequencer and use it. Letters will appear instead of the radio stations. Turn the letters until it reads "City Of Terror." A secret passage on the boat will open. Go down into the boat to find hundreds of roaches, a medical order form addressed to Jonathan Crane, and a Scarecrow victim who will squirm if you zoom in on him.
Cryptographic Message *SPOILERS*
Using the cryptographic Sequencer, set the coordinates to 200, 500. A voice will speak the following numbers: 3-20-26-18-26-16-24-1-11-4-24-9-3-8-5-2-12-18-6-16-7-11-3-10-17-5-13-4-21-8. To decode requires a bit of work. First set each number to a letter in the alphabet but in reverse so that Z=1, Y=2, X=3 and so on. From there you use a special cipher known as a Vigenere Cipher that requires a keyword to translate. By using the keyword "scarecrow", the message is translated to "FEAR WILL TEAR GOTHAM CITY TO SHREDS". Due to the keyword being scarecrow, it could be implied that Scarecrow is behind at least this message and possibly more.
Easy way to get the Flawless Freeflow Fighter 2.0 trophy
Go to the Riddlers Challenges and go to Custom Challenge. Select the first map and under modifiers choose Takedown Projectiles. This will make it so that your batarang will knockout enemies in 1 hit. Spam the batarang through all 4 rounds knocking out the enemies without getting hit once and you will get the trophy.
Play in Any Costume, Even Before Finishing the Game
To unlock this, simply press the following combination on the Main Menu screen (after you have selected your save slot): - Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down. You will get an audio confirmation and when you continue your game, you will get the option to select your favorite skin.
Taunt Animation
To make Batman (or any other playable character) execute a "taunt" like they do in the beginning of a challenge map or round, rotate the right analog stick clockwise two or three times. If you execute a taunt before performing a glide kick, the camera will change into the enemy's perspective during the glide kick action (only works for Batman or Robin).

Actor Brad Renfro's death has been attributed to "acute heroin/morphine intoxication," according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.
"The final manner of death has been ruled an accident," the coroner's office said, adding that the drugs were injected.
The 25-year-old actor, who starred in 1994's The Client and, later, Apt Pupil, had recently completed a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. Renfro was found dead in a Los Angeles apartment on Jan. 15.
Renfro's troubles go back to 1997, when he was sentenced to two years of probation after he tried to steal a yacht.
This was the second coroner's report issued for an actor this week. On Wednesday, the determination was announced that Heath Ledger also died from an accidental overdose, though of prescription drugs.
TMZ.com first reported the findings of the toxicology report on Renfro.
Coroner: Brad Renfro Died of Heroin Overdose

PALMER – The town of Palmer has scheduled an auction for Oct. 25 at the Town Building on Main Street that will feature four town-owned properties, including one that was the target of a protest last year when officials attempted to evict the man living there.
That property – 3157-3129 Main St. – is a two-family home in the Bondsville section that has a total of 1,925 square feet.
The first attempt to evict the man who lived there, Joseph "Jay" Noone, was in June 2011.
Officials said he owed approximately $35,000 in taxes and legal fees, and approximately 20 of his supporters rallied to protest the eviction – some wore shirts that said "Tyranny Response Team" and carried signs saying "No Due Process." The eviction didn't happen that day, and was postponed to November, when officials finally were successful in carrying it out.
The auction will be conducted by The Zekos Group of Shrewsbury, which has handled Palmer's two previous auctions, netting $312,500 for the town. The properties can be viewed on the company's website, zekosgroup.com
Also slated to be auctioned is 81 Mt. Dumplin St., featuring a single-family, split-level home on .44 acres and a contiguous vacant land parcel that is just under 1 acre. The home has 1,276 square feet of living space.
A Colonial-style single-family home at 42 Commercial St. in the Thorndike section is on the list, featuring 1,559 square feet of living area on .38 acres. The property is described as being in disrepair.
The last property on the list is a vacant parcel at 1532 North Main St. which totals 6,850 square feet and has 121 feet of frontage. Deposits of $5,000 are required on all the properties except the North Main Street parcel, which requires a $2,500 deposit.
Town Manager Charles T. Blanchard and Treasurer-Collector Paul A. Nowicki both said the intent of the auction is to return these properties back to the tax rolls. A total of $129,000 was owed on the parcels, but that has been "wiped out" now that they have been gone through the foreclosure process, Nowicki said.
"Hopefully there will be a lot of competitive bids," Nowicki said.
Energy Thorndike, the former Cascades Diamond complex in the Thorndike section, has agreed to pay the town approximately $200,000 it owes in back taxes by the end of the month, according to Nowicki. He said the owner has paid the town $170,000 so far to settle its outstanding tax bills. Energy Thorndike's debt was discussed by officials last month after a discussion about the town's efforts to collect back taxes on problem properties.

Aeros end SeaWolves' win streak at 7 games
AKRON, Ohio -- The Erie SeaWolves couldn't put together another rally this afternoon as their longest winning streak of the season was snapped at seven games with a 4-2 loss to the Akron Aeros in front of 6,994 fans at Canal Park.
Akron (16-17) jumped on Erie (18-12) starter Patrick Cooper (1-3) in the first inning with three extra-base hits to score two runs. The SeaWolves responded in the top of the second with a two-run single from Zach Maggard, but Erie was shut down the rest of the game.
Matt Packer picked up his first win of the season for Akron with seven strong innings, while Jose Flores struck out the side in the ninth to get his third save.
The SeaWolves won the series and will head to Bowie for the opener of a four-game set Thursday.
