I hope yesterday's post gave you some good food for thought around your family's screen time and steps you can take to get more in charge of it! Here is the second part of my list: Do real work in the presence of your children. Real work is this: washing dishes, sweeping the kitchen, folding laundry, making soup, etc. Seeing us do actual, physical work – with results they can see – inspires our children to do their work (play!). Bring back car games! Don't turn on that DVD player while driving. Staring out the window is a great time for that essential part of childhood – daydreaming. Or being bored. Or finding all the letters of the alphabet on license […]Read the full story »
I just returned from a great weekend at Moharimet Elementary School in New Hampshire where we explored screen time from several different angles. After exploring screens through the lens of what our children are not doing when they are doing screen time (likely, not getting bored, not engaging in deep play and not wondering – a lost art in our Age of Google), we explored 10 tips to get in charge of screen time. Today I'm going to share 5, and tomorrow I'll share 5 more. Please do let me know which of these resonate for you! Be a good media role model. Model "The Pause". Clear screen time parameters: the struggle is less when the parameters are clear. For […]Read the full story »

Mojo means your influence, confidence or personal charisma. It was originally a slang term from the US associated with the music and dance culture, but has entered the English as well as the American language and is being used more widely. It has also taken on an additional meaning of personal confidence and charisma with regard to sexual relationships. The word Mojo itself probably derives from African-American language where it refers to a personal talisman or witchcraft charm, and is itself derived from the word Moco used by the Gullah people meaning witchcraft. The word First received widespread exposure in the 1957 recording of the song Got My Mojo Working by Muddy Waters.

Well, you can't say Lovie Smith isn't willing to focus on the offensive side of the ball.
After taking WR Mike Evans in the first round, Tampa Bay added two more offensive playmakers in TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins and RB Charles Sims.
The skill positions on offense look much improved, but needs at guard, linebacker and nickel corner have still not been addressed heading into the final day of the draft.

Arabian Humanities: Call for paper to topic n° 5: Vernacular poetry in the Arabian Peninsula today
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Poetry in the Arabian Peninsula has not only been for centuries the supreme art form, it has also been from time immemorial the main medium of social intercourse, not only by expressing yearnings, love, conflicts and alliances, but by creating them, the composition or recitation of a poem being in itself a social and political act, in peacetime as in wartime. The oral poetry recorded by the Arabic scholars of the classical era has not ceased to live, function and evolve among the Peninsula's populations until today, though we now call it colloquial because of the parallel development of a written learned tradition in classical Arabic.
In the second part of the 20th century the Arabian societies have been deeply affected by various historical processes, among which industrialization, urbanization, the settlement of nomadic populations, the spread of literacy and the appearance of new means of communication. Poetry, as a cultural practice so inextricably linked with its social functions, could not but face a major challenge in such a context. Now it appears that in all the countries of the Peninsula, colloquial poetry, whether it be sung or not, still arouses a deep interest among individuals in their everyday life, but also with institutional actors. Its presence is conspicuous in TV programs, internet sites, newspapers, printed books and diwan-s, and many festivals or competitions are devoted to it. Colloquial poetry thus seems to have adapted to new situations and to have become pervasive in new ways of life and communication.
We wish to make this transformation the theme of the fifth issue of Arabian Humanities: what its salient features are — and what its limits should be recognized as being, focusing on the status of colloquial poetic genres and the corresponding means of diffusion. The objective is to investigate the place and role of poetry in today's Arabian societies and the functions it assumes, the values conveyed by the different types of vernacular poetry, their possible involvement in the emergence of nation-states in the Peninsula or the re-shaping of Arabian tribalism, and the emergence of new tastes and cultural needs.
An important emphasis will be put on the production, diffusion and reception of colloquial poetry, exploring how new communication technologies (printed publication, TV, radio, audio recorders, mobile phones, the Internet) as well as mass education and literacy have affected its distribution and very nature. The institutional or informal actors involved in its circulation should be determined. The poetic practices themselves are unlikely to have remained unchanged; these include the way poems are composed, memorized, transmitted, recited and consumed, but also how they fit into the precise social circumstances of their recitation and the attendent effects they designed for them. The status of poets in society is in this regard particularly worth examining. The very nature of the social act of composing a poem may well have changed dramatically. Consequently, poetry's linguistic features as well as its content, structures, topics and motifs can be expected to have experienced noticeable transformations.
Particular attention will be paid to the disparities that characterize the Peninsula and its cultures. Different sections of society may have been unequally affected by recent changes (educated vs. illiterate, nomad vs. sedentary, town dwellers vs. peasants, poor vs. rich countries…), with possible important regional or linguistic discrepancies (for instance in the status of the various local Arabic dialects or literary koine-s, or of the non-Arabic languages of Arabia). The precise nature of the poetic genres under scrutiny (nabatī, zāmil, ḥumaynī, sawṭ, dān, etc.) and the way they are re-defined in a new context should be kept within our sights.
Each article, which can be written either in French, in English or in Arabic, will be submitted to two external referees of the Editorial Board.
Proposals for papers should be sent before Februray 5, 2014 to:
Philip Kennedy (firstname.lastname@example.com),
Mohamed Bakhouch (firstname.lastname@example.com),
Julien Dufour (email@example.com),
Frédéric Lagrange (firstname.lastname@example.com)
and Sylvaine Giraud (firstname.lastname@example.com).
They will include:
- The title of the paper
- An abstract of 15 to 20 lines
- Data allowing the exact identification of the author: Full name, Institutional affiliation and function, Institutional address, Phone number, E-Mail.
The deadline for submission of articles (no longer than 9,000 words) is May 15, 2014.
Authors are requested to meet the publication norms of Arabian Humanities, available at http://cy.revues.org/2010 or from the Editorial Secretary, Sylvaine Giraud (email@example.com).

Bike In Style News from Far Away
Back here in Flag, it was a perfect day for bike commuting. With Northern Arizona University back in session this week, the streets were filled with students on shiny new bikes, as well as old faithfuls scratched, dented and covered with dirt and mud from trails (this is a mountain biking community overwhelmingly). Unfortunately, I left the house and picked up the camera unaware that the Planner Guy had removed the batteries to power his mouse! Oh, well. Hopefully, some stylish bicyclists will be at the monthly happy-hour group bike ride tomorrow night, beginning and ending at Altitudes Bar and Grill at 2 South Beaver St # 200. My hope is to be there just in time to pedal off onto the urban trail after work, camera in hand, with Bob and 15 or 20 friends and complete strangers.

Ratings for Dr. Kimberly A. Breneisen
We are very fond of Dr. Kim, both as our doc and as a person. She genuinely cares about her patients as evidenced by her response to a serious condition that befell our child. She actually drove through rush hour traffic on Friday evening to visit us in the hospital. She listens and she is responsive. She speaks to us as equals and as partners in our child's care... all that and our kid loves her too (and yes, Lily is wonderful). Our insurance costs us a fortune but Dr. Kim is one of the primary reasons we pay the price.
Dr. Breneisen is the best doctor that we have ever had. I wish she could treat my wife and I as well as our kids. :) Prior to switching to her, we spent 5 years spinning our wheels for medical support for our younger son who as several conditions. She has advocated for him and has quarterbacked his treatment, working with both medical professionals and has been very patient with the local school which has been very difficult to work with. Things just get done when she is on a case, which wasn't the case with the doctors that we had preceding her. Her PA (Lilly) is excellent too!
Very sharp, professional, quick to ask the right questions, do the right tests, come to a diagnosis. Great manner with kids and parents.
Dr. Kim is a very nice lady with a wonderful bedside manner. She is competent and knowledgeable and she really cares about her patients.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
From local school board races to Congressional campaigns, an effort is under way to push scientists out of the lab and onto the stump.
As a small Christian college in St. Paul, Minn., Bethel University seems like the kind of place where sharing would be commonplace. A recent plagiarism case on the campus, however, has plunged the college into a debate over the difference between collegial exchanges of course materials and the outright stealing of fellow professors' ideas.
WASHINGTON -- College faculty aren't any more burned out than the rest of the U.S. workforce on average, but the struggles of the untenured on the tenure track are the most pronounced, according to a survey presented at an American Association of University Professors conference here Wednesday.
In an analysis of professional burnout among professors, a Texas Woman's University Ph.D. candidate found tenure track professors had more significant symptoms of workplace frustration than their tenured and non-tenure track faculty counterparts.
Some prominent liberal academics are soliciting short essays from faculty members and graduate students to document a pattern in American history of major social advances being opposed by conservatives who "cry wolf" about the impact of proposed reforms. The campaign -- known as the "Cry Wolf Project" -- hasn't been officially announced. But conservative bloggers obtained some of the solicitations of essays and published them this week, along with considerable criticism.
Many colleges have rules declaring that faculty meetings where job candidates are reviewed are supposed to be confidential. A Stanford University faculty handbook, for example, states: "The entire reappointment proceedings during which specific individuals are discussed are to be held in strict confidence by all participants....
Research, teaching, service. Faculty members regularly debate the relative priorities of those items on the classic list of criteria for tenure and promotion. A new collection of essays places more attention on service, and in particular on the role of gender in the way service is defined and on the role of service in defining the roles of female professors.
To begin an article by saying that American higher education is in a state of crisis would be -- at least to most readers of this site -- so familiar as to border on tautology. "Well, sure," the reader can be imagined thinking. "But is she referring to the years of economic turmoil and drastic budget cuts? The adjunctification of the faculty? The neglect of the liberal arts and humanities? The watering down of academic standards?"
WASHINGTON -- A few years ago, organizers at the American Association of University Professors had to cancel a conference on shared governance for lack of interest. This year, they gave it another shot and were pleasantly surprised, to say the least: applications flooded in and they ultimately had to turn people away.

The Crematorium and the Cultural Center
A neighborhood dispute finds a resolution
By Christie Chisholm
Walking up to Charles and Synthia Lin's place of business is like kneeling before an ancient Chinese temple—the lilting, three-story roof made entirely of concrete; the massive entrance guarded above by a writhing golden dragon; the two lions greeting patrons as they head toward that looming draconic door, which is open most of the year. Maybe it's because, to the Lins, the Chinese Cultural Center is more than a place to earn a living; it's a tangible model of Chinese philosophy, culture and tradition. And until last Friday, they feared it might all come to an end.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Ukraine—A Christian, apparently attempting to test his faith in God, threw himself to the lions last Sunday evening at the Kiev Zoo and was promptly mauled to death. Ukrainian TV channel NTN broadcast interviews with witnesses who said the man told them he believed God would not allow the lions to hurt him. According to Reuters, an official said, "The man shouted: 'God will save me if he exists,' lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions." A lioness seized the man by his throat, severing his carotid artery and killing him instantly.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSealodge at Princeville
The condo we stayed in was so much more than what we expected. We had a view of the ocean, the condo had a beautiful kitchen, separate bedroom, a day bed in the living room over looking the ocean and was decorated beautifully. Only a 2 min drive and you were in Princeville where there are shops, restaurants, gas station and grocery store.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sealodge at Princeville
Nice ocean view - crappy place
The view was the ONLY good thing about this place. There were 3 towels, 2 washcloths and 3 hand towels, none matching - and all smelled awful so I had to wash all of them before using. No bar soap for the shower/bath. It had not been cleaned very well at all yet we paid, as had the people before us, a $97.00 cleaning fee! Other condo's in the place were much better and we should have checked the web further for a better place. The cleaning lady was a total grouch - do not ask her ANY questions lest she bite your head off!!
We were told we had 'beach access' - heck, the beach was down about 100' and it was straight down and rocky at that! There was a trail but my husband couldn't walk down it due to a bad hip. We were not told that on the phone - we were told it was a short walk to the beach front! We would not stay here again on a bet. Remember this is unit A-7. The entire place looks like a midieval fortress! A real letdown from what we expected - be sure to check out online what you are getting!
Great views, great deal
We just returned from a 3-day stay in unit D9. I can't speak for all of the units at Sealodge, but D9 was all that we expected and more.
It's worth noting at the outset that one should not expect that a rental condo will be comparable to the Four Seasons. The furniture, for example, is pretty plain, and the towels and sheets aren't the best quality.
Having said that, our experience at Sealodge was nothing but positive. Our unit had a fantastic view of the Pacific from every room save the bathroom and had a nice balcony with a table and chairs for enjoying the view from the outside. Although the windows can lead to a warm condo, we found that by leaving the windows open for only a few minutes, the ocean breeze would cool the place down. Unit D9 has a washer and dryer (and dishwasher), which is nice when you're on the tail end of a long vacation.
By staying at Sealodge, you get a discount rate at the Princeville golf courses. Hanalei is a short drive away, as is the Na Pali coast. The Princeville Hotel is a mile down the road and is a must-do for sunset drinks.
All in all, I'd recommend Sealodge (and especially unit D9) to anyone looking for an affordable (about $130/night) place with ocean views, space, and a great location. If you want luxury, head down the road and stay at the Princeville Hotel.
Good location, good price, needs some work.
Just came back from my first stay in the project, and my first stay anywhere on Kauai's north shore. Location-wise, a great place to launch explorations. Our unit was fashionably decorated, and affordable. But: 1) the unit was falsely advertised as including a washer/dryer; 2) some things didn't work: garbage disposal, light in microwave, nitelight in bathroom; the shower control pulled out of the wall; 3) the kitchen didn't have any cutting boards; 4) the lone ceiling fan was over the dining table, which we never used; fortunately, we found a floor stand fan that we moved to where we spent time (living room, bedroom); 5) the unit faces the afternoon sun and the thin curtains did a poor job of shielding from the heat; 6) due to the configuration of the structures, the unit was shielded from most of the cooling breezes. Still, we would probably go back because of the good price and the location.
Sealodge - just okay in our experience
We are frequent travelers to Kauai, & this was our first time staying in Sealodge (unit E10). First the good things - 1. You can't beat the view! 2. The Princeville location is amazing. 3. The price is reasonable (we paid $130/night) Now the not so great things - It is pretty run down - and I don't mean the outside. The decorative pillows on the bed were stained & the sheets & towels were very dingy. The couch & bed were ridiculously uncomfortable and both could use an upgrade. Lots of rust and mildew in the bathroom. The fridge had rust spots all over the outside. Obviously, none of these things ruined our vacation (it was amazing!) but I wouldn't stay here again. I think you could do better (for the same amount of $) elsewhere.
Loved the Sealodge
We stayed at the Sealodge last May and loved it. It's a great value. The condos are perched on a cliff with an amazing ocean view. The room was clean and a nice size. Loved having a full kitchen and a washer/dryer. There aren't a whole lot of places with good beach access, especially on the north shore, so that was not a big deal for us at Sealodge. The view was worh it. We stayed in J-7, which had a wonderful view as it was a corner unit. We will stay at the Sealodge the next time we visit Kauai.
Sealodge is wonderful
I stayed here for two weeks, I found a site called Kauai Holidays for the exact room that I rented. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. There is a private beach that is a short hike away but would not recommend it if it has been raining it could be dangerous then. The path is hidden but is there just look for the sign. Watched the sunset everynight from the bench across from the main entrance to the building. Only set back was tradewinds were coming from opposite direction and there was no air in the room and not any wind blowing so in the late afternoon it was too hot in there but still worth it. Very quiet area. Geckos all over at night and a rainbow everymorning. Would definately go back. This is located on the beautiful garden island of Kauai.
Great North Shore Find!
We just returned from a 7 night stay in Kauai. It was our second trip to the island and so we chose the North Shore this time around. Sealodge was a great deal for a Princeville condo. The condos are perched on a cliff above the ocean, many in Princeville are set back or have no view. We stayed in Building C, one of the closer ones to the cliff. The unit we stayed in was nicely appointed - each one is decorated differently so if you care about that, make sure to look online or ask for pictures of the unit. The particular unit we stayed in had a washer/dryer but it was in a locked closet so we couldn't use it.
There is a trail heading down to the ocean by Bldg. A, a bit muddy so wear shoes vs. flip flops. The beach was small but not many people, decent snorkeling and an endangered Hawaiian monk sea lion spent a day napping on the beach for us to watch.
The one negative were the ants that would appear in the kitchen looking for food. I think that it's either due to the time we were there or a problem overall on the island and not something specific to the place. I heard from someone that the island has an ant problem.
We liked this place, especially for the price and will return there!
Paradise Found
We just returned from our 4th visit to the island of Kauai. We stayed in a condo at the Sealodge in Princeville for the first time, and we are so glad we did! We have found no other view as fabulous as this one...our lanai was just a few steps from the cliffs overlooking the ocean. We were able to see sea turtles feeding on the reef. The birds were friendly. We saw both the sunrise and the sunset from our large windows. Although there is no immediate beach, it is a simple thing to drive or hike to a beautiful, quiet beach. The condo was well equipped with anything we needed: beach chairs, picnic basket, fully equipped kitchen, binoculars, telescope, hair dryer, etc. The owners provided a guest book, in which visitors have written over the years. From that, one can get helpful hints to help plan activities. The quaint little town of Hanalei is just minutes away. I can honestly say that we will be returning soon. One point to be aware of is that each unit is owned by a different person, so the amenities may vary. Also to be noted is that certain building clusters are better situated on the bluff for the good view. We found buildings D, A, and C to provide the best locations. Be sure to check location prior to renting.
Very nice condo
My husband and I stayed in a Sealodge condo for 8 nights in Sept 2003, and we enjoyed the place very much. It was clean and well-equipped, with a wonderful view of the ocean. It's on the cliffs so not that easy to get to the beach, but we drove to beaches throughout the North Shore so we didn't mind. Very reasonable for the price. As another reviewer noted, the outside doesn't look great, but the inside is fine. We would definitely stay here again.
Great value and relaxing views
My husband and I just got back from our trip to Kauai. We stayed at the Sealodge for 2 nights, in Princeville. We were dubious at first, but we ended up completely satisfied! The outside of the condo is definitely in need of renovation (its wooden and worn, and the ocean air has taken its toll on the aesthetics. However, when we entered our condo, all those fears dissapeared. It was well furnished, clean, and what we were expecting. While there is not air conditioning, the ocean air and the huge windows make for adequate ventillation. We would def stay there again, especially with a family.

As far as I can tell, it dosen't matter in the slightest.
OmisanAndrew (Topic Creator)4 years ago#3
There are people on FUthead that are saying that the ingame stats are tied to their chemistry. Like IF Milito has less than 99 finishing when not a chemistry. Im unsure if this is a PS3 thing as that was mentioned a little bit as well. And i do not know how to even view stats in game
Little high like noon on the moon
YiddosRule 4 years ago#4
Just toggle your left stick to view stats. I am pretty sure that the game is the same across all platforms so what you have read could be right. Maybe some vets on this board can answer you further as I honestly cannot see a difference.
OmisanAndrew (Topic Creator)4 years ago#5
What do you mean toggle? Like how you press left or right on the stick to see their 6FUT stats, their country and club, and stamina morale?
Or is there someway to view all of the stats like short passing, marking, and Attack Positioning?
Little high like noon on the moon
YiddosRule 4 years ago#6
Yeah, apart from the stats that we mentioned, you can also click on a player and then click "bio" to see detailed stuff.
Also, this is directly from an EA FUT help page.
"Chemistry is directly connected to player on pitch performance. A player with higher chemistry will perform better, regardless of their stats. Team chemistry is also important, as a highly rated team with bad chemistry will find it tough to play against lesser teams whove focused on building chemistry."
OmisanAndrew (Topic Creator)4 years ago#7
hmm that quote makes me think that Team chemistry affects everyone but individual chemistry also has influence.
Little high like noon on the moon
YiddosRule 4 years ago#8
You were right to ask in the first place as I was wrong. How much of an impact a couple of 7chem players in my team actually had seemed negligible to me. Seems you did me a favour!
OmisanAndrew (Topic Creator)4 years ago#9
I figured out what they meant by in game stats. Sorry i didnt think it through,
If you pause while playing and look at your squad and then look at individual stats you get the real deal there.
Cavani is listed as having 90 finishing, when i checked him in game he had 95. Im not sure what chem he had i think it was 9.
Little high like noon on the moon
OmisanAndrew (Topic Creator)4 years ago#10
Now my problem is this. I cant get Suarez up to 9 chem. I even have a Uruguay Manager
He is shown as such here but not in game.

The diagnosis of acute or chronic disease of the pancreas can be one of the more difficult tasks of the internist or gastroenterologist. Acute pancreatic disease must be differentiated from a variety of intra-abdominal catastrophes, many of which require prompt laparotomy if the patient is to have the best chance of survival. Most surgeons and physicians agree that acute pancreatitis, in the absence of complicating biliary tract disease, is best managed conservatively (1). Chronic pancreatitis often masquerades as psychoneurosis, drug addiction, or chronic alcoholism, while pancreatic carcinoma is usually beyond surgical cure when diagnosed.

It's your old friend, FinalFantasy773!!!
Yeah, it has been a while, I suppose. Nearly four whole months. Sorry about that. Hehe. My bad. (^_^')
Anyway, it's been forever since I've had a chance to write a blog for you all. A lot's happened along the way, and I've got a lot to say so, shall we begin? Let me start by explaining why I was gone.
There was a time when I used to play games tirelessly, day and night as a kid. It was like an addiction! I even beat games within a few days of getting them. I remember nearly beating Crash Bandicoot Warped! for the Playstation the same day I got it. The only reason I didn't is because my brother kept saying, "Why are you 'killin' it? What's the point of getting a game and beating it the same day?!" What's the point? Uh...to have fun........idiot.
As time went on, so did his incessant, nagging to get me to play games HIS way. And, being the little kid I was (and one that aimed to please at that), I just did it in a more, play a game.....beat it...go on to another when I've played it enough style (eww). Even the Christmas when we first got the Playstation 2 (2001) and a good number of quality games for it including Devil May Cry, Silent Hill 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, and WWF (at the time it wasn't WWE) Smackdown! Just Bring It!, just to name a few. It was quite a day, but being the avid gamer I was, I wanted to hit every game we got the same night. But my brother continued to say, "Just play and test out a few games. Don't play them all at once." So, ONCE AGAIN, I yielded and said fine, whatever.......idiot.
In a way, I was kinda force-adopted into that lifestyle of gaming. And as a result, my gaming skills suffered, I began leaving games sitting there the second I hit a rough spot rather than playing them through to the end. Even now, I have countless unfinished games, and even a few from this Christmas that have yet to be played (I'm more disgusted with myself than you are my fellow gamers). Reading gaming magazines began to bore me in a way, and I more or less only read news about games I just had to know about and simply skimmed the rest. Nothing really ever attracted my attention anymore and aside from reading my messages and big time articles, or watching the next 1UP Show, I hardly ever even visited 1UP (sorry friends list and clubs).
I was, in the simplest terms possible, dying as a gamer. I would even go weeks without touching a console! Heck, If it weren't for my brother and I continuing our self-made Pay-Per-View event matches, it would have been perhaps a month today since I so much as touched my Playstation 2!!! Even my XBOX 360 got little attention aside from when my friends would practically beg me to go on XBOX Live to either play Halo 2 or Dead or Alive 4 (I'm really sorry again guys).
But then.....something happened. Something I've been waiting to happen to me for a long time..... I finally truly became part of the next-gen...
Yes, I know what you're thinking. I already had the XBOX 360. I was part of the next-gen! True, but only on the outside. On the inside, I might as well have had a busted Atari 5200 (you know, the ones that never sold at all?) But now, I'm a part of it. Why? Because of a little old game named Condemned: Criminal Origins.
I began playing this game a couple of weeks ago, and I was truly blown away, both in terms of it graphics, the sound design (hands down, the best audio set-up I've ever heard in ANY game), the physics, the enemies, the scripted events (I.E. when you're escaping the toy factor and the hobos all come out, but aren't just after you, but often attacked one another), the A.I., the ambiance, the...I could do this all day.
To put it in simple terms, I LOVED Condemned in every way possible. The game is honestly frightening as well. Never since Resident Evil 4 (the only other game that has ever done this to me), have I ever been scared to the point of jumping. And no other game period has ever invoked a feeling of being genuinely freaked-out about the world around me. When that first hobo came at me, I must have shot half my ammo out of fear of being attacked by this mysterious conduit-wielding man from out of the shadows.
At any rate, though I've essentially been playing this game for about three weeks, I had only played it four days when you look at it all (gives you an idea of how dead I was as a gamer). But on Sunday, something came over me. I played the game and went through chapter after chapter until reaching the final chapter of the game, which I beat today. This makes Condemned: Criminal Origins the first REAL game with a storyline that I've beaten for the XBOX 360. Every single second of the final chapter was amazing. So amazing that I MUST tell you all about it. So here's the official:
In the last chapter of Condemned, you don't see any hobos for nearly half of the way through. You are instead in an old farmhouse, in the dark with only your flashlight to guide you. What's the catch? You have to turn it off and use a special forensics tool to follow messages that stretch all the way through the house in four different directions. Which means, you're not holding a weapon, and you're in total darkness outside of the scribbles you're following along the floor, walls, and even the ceilings. Which means, anything can jump out and attack you relentlessly while you're not looking, which they will after you reach a certain point.
But the best point of all in this chapter, is simply the boss fight with the Serial Killer X. When you begin the fight with him, the effect on the screen is black and white, and static, and you are armed with the same weapon as the SKX. He runs and you have to chase after him in the same darkness you were in before, but this time with a flashlight. After all that, you grab a flaming 2X4 and light your path to chase down "The one responsible for all this madness."
I won't spoil any more for you, but just know, it's an awesome chapter. Nevertheless, the game has two ways you can end it, but sadly, this doesn't change the actual ending of the game. It's more like Choose Your Achievement Award. And the ending we do get leaves me scratching my head. I'm not 100% sure what to make of it, but it was good for what it was, and it doesn't hurt the amazing work the games is overall.
One more thing. I managed to rack up 26 out of the 50 available in the game as of my first walk through, and now have 27 as of when I beat the game with the second choice. I'm gonna go back and unlock the remaining achievements soon.
In related humor:
I have one piece of advice for you if you're a gamer with an XBOX 360:
Pre-order Crackdown as soon as you can, but if you've got time after that. PLAY CONDEMNED: CRIMINAL ORIGINS!
What? You didn't think I was done did ya? Of course not! So you know why I was gone and why I'm finally back in action, but what else should you know? How about what I plan to do next?
Now that I've beaten Condemned and can eagerly await the rumored PS3 and XBOX 360 sequel, I can look to the games I still need to play and buy.
Oblivion is definitely getting some attention tonight...and tomorrow...and the day after that....and the day after that...BUT the day after the day after that, I'd have beaten half of the game's main missions. I also plan on beating Kingdom Hearts this week finally, so I can buy Kingdom Hearts 2. Along with that, I want to finish killing off the last remaining Colossi in my favorite game of last year, Shadow of the Colossus.
And then there's the DS games I need to start like Sonic Rush and Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, so I can buy the addictive Tetris DS. High score on my friends Tetris DS: 101 lines (YEAH!!!). And I haven't played Tetris in any form for years and I did this on the first attempt!
Since one of my friends have Animal Crossing and te game already seems good, I want to get that along with the Wi-Fi connector for my router and stuff so I can play with others (Mario Kart DS is feeling lonely).
And I can't wait to begin Burnout Revenge for the XBOX 360. I've been wanting to smash peoples cars against the pavement online for so, so long! And a few other games.
No, I'm not taking another four months off of blogging, I'll be back very soon actually. Hopefully with something really great to tell you. Maybe even how my life's been affected by the dreaded "Keitaro Curse/Blessing." What's that you ask? Well my friends, that's a blog, for another time...

THE OUTCASTS. By Kathleen Kent. Little, Brown and Co. 322 pages. $26.
Showing the reader what life was like in another time and place is part of good historical fiction, but it should add to the story, not detract from it.
"The Outcasts" follows three post-Civil War Texas lawmen, the killer they're trying to catch and the killer's girlfriend, who has close ties to the lawmen.
Despite the myriad hardships and horrors the characters face - everything from state police officer Nate Cannon having be apart from his family to Lucinda Goddard's epilepsy and life as a prostitute to any of the many people killed - there is little emotion in this book.
The reader is not pulled in because the book is more like a fictional timeline than a story. It feels as if Kathleen Kent researched the area and the period, and because cancer, former Quantrill's Raiders, former slaves, laudanum addiction, a hunt for pirate gold, snakes, photography, trains and the KKK all existed then, well, they must be included in the book. It doesn't make for a good story.
"The Outcasts" never breaks the surface of any of its story lines. If it evokes any emotion at all in its readers, it would be repulsion, both for many of the characters and for the book as a whole.
Reviewer Carol Edwards is a freelance editor and farmer living in Marlboro County.

Sara Romanoski, Woman Who Spilled Wine on Glenn Beck, Tells Her Side
You may have heard that someone spilled wine on Glenn Beck's wife Monday evening in Bryant Park. Sara Romanoski, a 25-year-old Manhattanite with a penchant for Hitchcock movies, is the culprit. Surprisingly, though Beck has wept about it and many have written about it, no one has bothered to actually speak to the klutz holding the glass spilled 'round the world.
Even though Romanoski's tweets "were open for 24 hours" before she made her account private and she's "easily Googleable," no one asked for her side of the story. Now, Romanoski explains her motives, her suspicious tweets, and her ironic clumsiness exclusively to the Voice.
"We have been going to movies at Bryant Park, Lindsey [Piscitell] and me and various friends along the way, for five or six years," Romanoski says. "I try to go to the Hitchcock films. We were there the first week this year and were planning to go through the summer."
Romanoski arrived on Monday night "about 20 minutes before the film started," after her five friends were camped out (and not in time to even notice what type of wine would later lead to Beck's whine).
The trouble started when she sat down behind this family:

Romanoski says that she didn't know who it was until "a fan came over and asked for [Beck's] signature." Admitting that "there were hours before the screening that I can't speak to," she says that, from her perspective, Beck's "portrayal that everyone was against him, or that it was an obscene mob, is not accurate."
She did overhear people verbally hazing him modestly:
"People were saying loudly how they were celebrating marriage equality....Someone was referencing their lesbian mothers who make organic granola, that type of general joke...No one was addressing him directly, no one even said his name....It wasn't aggressive at all."
Romanoski says that before the movie, the Becks were "just lounging around, looking at their iPads." On their blanket were a younger man and woman, Beck, his wife, and two bodyguards who were scanning the crowd, but didn't seem concerned to Romanoski.
"It was really innocuous. I felt humor being in such close proximity to him," she says. Then, she started having some fun at Beck's expense on Twitter.
Her friends responded:
"They were really juvenile things, nothing I was going to pursue. I wasn't planning on actually doing anything," Romanoski says. Still, she found his presence distracting:
And then, things got interesting.
"Four people on our blanket had fallen asleep. The movie was maybe 75 percent of the way through. I decided I wanted a second glass of wine, so I reached over my friends, and my friend handed me the bottle. I filled the glass, which I tried to balance between my calves. Which turned out not to be the most well thought out plan, because as I was trying to return the cap to the wine, I spilled the glass...onto the open space between our blankets.
"I couldn't see, but it had made a small puddle, behind [Beck's wife.] I felt awful about spilling wine onto the American flag -- in front of Glenn Beck! I immediately offered my profuse apologies. My friend said he thought a little got on [Beck's wife's] pants, but it didn't seem like anything serious and it certainly didn't soak her."
One of the younger members of Beck's party asked "if it was water or wine. I explained it was white wine, and offered them our cloth napkins," which Beck nor his wife took.
Romanoski then tried to tweet the Daily Show:
Didn't she really want Beck to make her famous? She says she didn't take the event all that seriously:
The Becks "ended up leaving before the end of the film, but about 45 minutes after the incident. They were incredibly calm...it didn't seem like a big deal...Beyond their calmness, they had two security guards who did not move, and didn't react in anyway."
Whether she wanted it or not, Beck would make the situation famous the next day on his radio show: Was Romanoski surprised?
"I want to be surprised. But I'm not. The reason I put up that tweet was anticipating that this was going to happen. This is what he does. This is what I'd seen that he does with his material, and now being in it first hand, I understand he was looking for something to get worked up about it. I don't know if he'd have reported [the evening] if I hadn't had my faux pas! I don't know if he'd say still say people had been jeering him and his wife... I think he's looking to satisfy his audience and express his theatrics. That's it. In person, he reflected none of the anger or his sincere expressions of love and wishes for people to pray for me that he displayed on his show last night as he cried. So now I have all of his love and prayers. Thank you. Really? You don't have to."
Does she think that Dr. Freud would have made anything of her taunting tweets, followed by her clumsy glass?
"Think about it, " she says. "If you could dream up a passive aggressive response in a similar circumstance, wouldn't it be to spill something?" Still, she maintains, "It was an accident. I offered my profuse apologies immediately," adding that in the middle of the 39 Steps "would be the wrong time [to purposely spill something], when there is the substantial amount of time in the film and no practical way" to exit.

Finally he had a game where he didn't at least score in double-figures or shoot higher than 50 percent from the field. Finally, after an eight-point performance in a preseason victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, things were back to the norm.
The norm. What that used to be for Taj Gibson seems not to exist anymore.
The norm. What Gibson used to do and how he used to approach the game are now history.
An unexpected transformation. Sorta.
See, after last year, many here thought Gibson was done. Over. Finished like the end of a film screened at Cannes. He had finally gotten paid, agreeing to a four-year, $33 million extension early last season, negotiated by his flashes of promise on the court. It was a contract befitting of a player whom an organization would look insane if they were to let go. The Bulls had plans for Taj. Big plans.
Then last year happened. Gibson seemed to vanish in games. His play became apathetic on good days. He was close to being placed in one of those "one of those" categories. As in one of those players who gets paid and checks out. His play indicated nothing to the contrary, and those plans the Bulls had for him seemed to be on the verge of being shelved.
But coach Tom Thibodeau had another plan. Just like he seems to have done with Luol Deng when the coach first came here, Derrick Rose to a degree and Jimmy Butler over the last two offseasons, Thibs forced Gibson to trust him.
Trust him with his life, which equates to his career.
Gibson had no choice. He wasn't playing anywhere close to his capabilities. His mind was messing with him. He'd seen what the finished products of "The Church of Thibs" looked like. What other choice did a brotha have?
Now I lay me down to sleep ...
When Gibson woke up, nothing was the same. The season was over, the initial weight of living up to the contract was gone. The season of "No Rose" was behind them -- behind him -- and the only thing in front of Gibson at the beginning of this season was opportunity and possibility. He was new, he was mad, he was different. There was a chip on his shoulder that had never been a part of his life before. He'd placed it there himself.
Gibson said: "I'm not mad at anyone specifically, nothing directly has happened to make me have this chip (on my shoulder), it's just ..."
It's just there. As Gibson spoke to me privately outside of the Bulls' locker room after a recent shootaround, he was clear and unclear about the new anger-that-really-isn't-real-anger he takes with him now every time he blesses the court.
"I can't really explain it," he said. "I just know I have to be ready. I had to step my game up."
Lost in all of the hysteria of Rose's return, is the "step up" of Gibson. The player who is averaging 13.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and shooting 58.4 percent in the preseason with a legit jumper from 20 feet. The player who is also a shot-blocking presence in the lane.
Gibson is no longer going to settle for anything less than his new expectations of himself and what his coach sees hidden inside him.
"Everything he's told me he wanted me to do is happening so far, paying off," Gibson said of Thibodeau. "He told he wanted me to gain 15-20 pounds, wanted me to have a strong summer just working out, going hard every day, sacrificing my body, and I did that. (Thibs) said everyone has to sacrifice. I didn't do anything but what he asked me to do and work out all offseason and it's shown.
"We talk a lot. It's crazy. Me and Thibs, our relationship has grown so much. (It's) helped my confidence out a lot. Just the way he calls my name every day in practice. Just being on top of it. Telling me that I'm doing a great job but also telling me that they need to count on me more. Which, for me, is great to hear."
That causes the chip to appear. And stay there.
It's reverse psychology at its best. You tell yourself it's you against the world, while the voices outside your head are encouraging you to find greatness. It's how one makes doubt disappear, how one makes himself further believe, how one makes $33 million seem like a bargain.
Carlos Boozer may have summed Gibson up best last week when he said, "Having the weight (of the contract) lifted off of his shoulders, he can just hoop. With that pressure off of him he's flourishing. (Gibson) might be our best player in the preseason."
This coming from the man who is trying to protect his own spot from being taken by the guy he's praising.
The weird thing about change is the time that is so often connected to it.
How long does change last? When is it no longer change? When does "it is what it is" simply take over?
To say Gibson has changed would actually be a lie. To say he's evolved, grown into himself, would be more accurate.
As the "win it all or it's over" season for the Bulls is about to begin, many in the city are going to be waiting to see how long this "change" in Gibson lasts, because with change often comes scrutiny. All expectations entering this season were for Jimmy Butler to be the difference-maker on the squad, the player who added a dimension that wasn't there last season. The new X-factor.
Taj? No one knew what to expect. No one saw this coming. And now that it seems to be here, will it last?
When asked of the greatest difference between him now and at this same time last year, Gibson said: "Just how focused I am on the game plan and how much I am looking forward to different schemes of the game. I'm really understanding different players' games. Being in the league a while now, I know everything as far as players and schemes. I had a great training camp and a great preseason. And it's been going like that so far."
So far.
Taj Gibson has a self-imposed chip on his shoulder and a season in front of him that can only be seen as a possibility. How he manages it is on him.
It is something only Gibson can control, yet he doesn't have an answer. But as long as he plays the next 82 games the way he did the preseason, there is a very strong chance that the change we are witnessing in him may now just be who he is.

The fans are angry, so must be the board and the players are lacking where it matters most. A aspirational beginning and middle to the season has been countered by an increasingly shaky end. There are some calling for Wenger's head but all in honesty, he has the job for life.
However, much of the blame can be put on him or at least more than his team which are hardly at their barnstorming best. While there are the usual excuses, bad luck, injuries, fatigue or poor refereeing, this season may have hurt more others simply because Arsenal were so close to silverware and stayed close for longer than some fans are used to.
As I said before, Wenger has the job for life, he turned the club into what it is and even the most well paid directors and executives know he's responsible for fattening their pockets. Even so, there have been reports in the past of how the workload and burden weighs heavily on our manager and with Pat Rice also edging nearer retirement, Wenger may find the Emirates a little lonelier in coming seasons.
That said, if he was to ever leave, what would a prospective manager hope to gain from managing Arsenal FC?

The New York Jets lead the league in run defense. You probably already knew that. What you may not know is the Jets own one of the top run defenses in recent memory.
They're allowing 2.85 yards per rush. Some perspective: Since 2000, only three teams have allowed fewer yards per carry: The 2000 Baltimore Ravens (2.69), the 2006 Minnesota Vikings (2.83) and the 2007 Ravens (2.84).
As a side note, Rex Ryan was an assistant coach in Baltimore in '00 and '07; defensive-line coach Karl Dunbar served in the same position for the '06 Vikings. Is it a coincidence they're both heavily involved in another great run defense? No way. It would be a tremendous accomplishment if the Jets could somehow lower their average below the '00 Ravens, widely regarded as one of the top defensive outfits in history.
"I think right now, if you look at our team, we're a dominant run defense," Ryan said. "There's nobody close to us in this league and when you look at it, saying from a statistical standpoint, I think we give up 2.8 or 2.9 a rush, when the next closest team is maybe 3.5 or 3.4 per rush. I think that's a separation that you don't see very often in this league."
Ryan's numbers are accurate. The Cleveland Browns are second at 3.43.
In one year, the Jets managed to turn a weakness into a strength. They dropped to 21st last season (4.32), an embarrassing low for a Ryan-coached defense. How'd they improve so much so fast? Four reasons:
An immovable nose tackle: First-year starter Damon Harrison is a significant upgrade over Sione Po'uha, who was rendered ineffective last season because of a back injury that has forced him out of football. The Jets allow a paltry 2.5 yards per rush when Harrison is on the field, 2.9 when he's not. Enough said.
The Sheldon Factor: Mike DeVito was a solid, blue-collar run stuffer for the Jets, but they let him walk in free agency and replaced him with rookie Sheldon Richardson, who wasn't regarded as a superior run defender in college. Richardson has altered that reputation. He leads all rookies with 10.5 backfield stops -- 7.5 tackles behind the line and three sacks. He brings athleticism to the position, allowing Ryan to play an attacking style. The Jets aren't your typical 3-4, read-and-react scheme.
Mo better: Muhammad Wilkerson was a good player last season. Now he's a very good player, having improved his quickness and stamina. He can wreck any blocking scheme.
Faster linebackers: Last year's linebacking corps was dinosaurish. Graybeards Bart Scott and Bryan Thomas were too slow, one of the reasons why the defense allowed so many long runs. They were replaced by Demario Davis and Quinton Coples, who often plays in a three-point stance as the "rush" linebacker. Nothing helps a front seven like youth and speed. "Mike" linebacker David Harris dropped weight in the offseason, improving his lateral quickness. As a result, the Jets have allowed only 16 runs of 10+ yards, the fewest in the league.

Ok, here it goes....
I purchased a chameleon modchip from eb2k earlier this year. I installed it and it worked great for a month or so and then one day my xbox did the frag thing; wouldn't boot, booted once the next day, and then nothing. Xbox works fine with chip pulled, but frags with it in. I looked and asked around and someone told me it was probably the bios. I had flashed bank one with an xecuter bios, which presumably went bad, but for some reason it also wouldn't boot to any of the bios banks which, unless the chip was broken, must have never had cromwell...(cromwell only on bank one is all I can figure which I wrote over) Well, since then I've had absolutely no luck in flashing the chip. I've tried everything I can think of/read about doing:
1. Matrix programmer
--->A. On 4 different computers
--------->i. WinLPC -- Chip not found!
--------->ii. Xodus Programmer -- Chip not found! (get red light on chip when I select scan from menu and also for a few secs right when I connect to lpt port)
--->B. Two different brand new battery -- Tested and were both over 9v
2. Hotflash w/ a friends xbox
--->A. Freinds chip xecuter2.3 pro.
'-->Loaded Evox, FTP'd both cromwell and xecuter2 4980 bioses to xbox, unplugged/desoldered his modchip, installed chameleon using solderless adapter, tried the flash bios utility.... Tried both cromwell and xecuter bioses and got same results with both... Dialog box says "erasing bios", status bar flies across box, then it says "writing bios now!", but it freezes there.
That is where I currently stand as of today. I wasn't sure if you could hotswap with different chips, but I got the impression from other posts that it could be done and didn't see any harm in trying it since the chips job is basically done after bios is loaded.
Maybe the hotflash thing just wont work but the programmer should right? If my hotswap methods should work and there is another problem, please help; if that can't be done, please let me know; if you can help me out in any way, please do.
Thanks, and sorry for the long post, but I don't know any shorter way of presenting my case. :-)
Oh yea: v1.0 xbox, Chameleon v1.3 (I think), Maxtor 120 gig hd, Evox on hd

did you try flashing the other banks witht he programmer or just bank 0? contact eb2k, you might have a bad chip

Actually, as I stated above, I could never get the programmer or actually the computer to recognize the programmer and chip when connected to the computer. Therefore I never even could get to the step to chose a bank to flash with the programming software. As for the bad chip, I know that could be a possibility but why would it all of a sudden stop working? Thanks for the help, but anyone else have an idea?

eb2k will not refund because that chip is discontinued. trie to get the programer working. check you battery and check the manual from xodus.

Thanks, but I've tried all of that. I actually tested the batteries I've tried with a voltmeter and both were over 9v, one actually close to 10v. Unless I have a bad programmer, I can't think of any other way to try to get that to work. Anything else...? Thanks again for your responses Peb and Mahoro.
