2010 Second Amendment Dollar
One Ounce .999 Fine Silver
Our 2010 issue will never be minted again.
These pieces has been carefully sealed in a tamper-proof plastic capsule. Each one comes complete with a red velveteen bag and display stand.
Since time immemorial, man has had the right of self-preservation. That
right, to defend and protect one's life, family and property, was enshrined
by the Founding Fathers of the United States in the great Second Amendment to
the US Constitution.
Long live the Second Amendment: THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
Now, the Second Amendment is commemorated in a special $50 Silver Commemorative
Dollar dedicated exclusively to that Right. A man's home is his castle. He has
an inherent right to protect it and that right shall not be infringed.
BudsGunShop.com, a proud supporter of the Second Amendment, is pleased
to offer this 2010 Second Amendment Dollar so everyone can
commemorate his and her right to Protect Life.
The $50 Second Amendment Dollar is larger than the old US silver dollar and
is specially commemorated with one Troy ounce of pure .999 fine silver. The
obverse features Lady Liberty symbolizing American rights she has fought so
hard to protect. The reverse features the Second Amendment text and the iconic
1911 hand gun that played a significant role in WWI, WWII, Korean, and Vietnam
Wars and is still used today to protect the American way of life. Every Gun
Dollar with a MSRP of $50 measures 39mm and is minted in Brilliant Uncirculated
(BU) condition with high relief to exemplify the high ideals of the Second Amendment.
Like the commitment to the values on which our great country was founded, the
value of the 2010 Second Amendment Dollar in pure silver will not fade. And
with your support, the Right to keep and bear arms will not fade. Long live
the Second Amendment!
All canceled orders will be
charged our standard 10% restocking fee.

History comes alive in Lackawaxen
September 25, 2013 —
LACKAWAXEN, PA — The Zane Grey Museum was home to Zane Grey and his family from 1912 to 1918. Today the museum, which is preserved by the National Park Service, features many items from Grey's life such as dental and baseball equipment, photos of his fishing adventures and his novels.
New hours will be in effect during the fall. During September, the museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Starting in October, the museum's hours will be Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum will close for the season on Sunday, October 20. Admission is free.
While in Lackawaxen, you can also visit Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct (also known as the Roebling Bridge), the oldest existing wire suspension bridge in the nation. It was designed and built under the supervision of John A. Roebling, future engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Visit www.nps.gov/upde or call the Zane Grey Museum at 570/685-4871.

Schroders hires ex-FSA sheriff after shift in regulatory 'spotlight'
Schroders has confirmed the appointment of Sheila Nicoll as head of public policy from consultancy EY, as regulatory scrutiny passes from banks to asset managers.
Nicoll joins from EY where she had been a senior adviser on asset management since September 2013. She was previously director of conduct policy at the Financial Services Authority, after joining the UK regulator in 2007.
When she joins Schroders in September, Nicoll will report to Massimo Tosato, executive vice chairman.
Speaking to Financial News, Tosato said the decision to hire Nicoll was the result of a noticeable shift in regulatory focus in recent months with scrutiny passing from banks to asset managers.
He said: "The financial services service industry has been subject to the highest level of political scrutiny. That has led to a wave of new regulation. Some of this regulation was initially aimed at banks and investment banks but the spotlight has since turned on asset managers.
"Schroders has always been a long term supporter of meaningful regulation and protecting customers is important for our long-term success."
Tosato said it was essential that the industry now clarifies the importance of asset management within the context of supporting economic growth and capital markets.
He said it was important to "differentiate the buy side" from the roles of investment banks, commercial banks and insurers that he perceives to have stronger "visibility" and "relationships" with legislators.
Nicoll will be tasked with leading a small team of specialists in legal, compliance and risk management.
Her husband Philip Warland works in the same "head of public policy" position at Fidelity Worldwide Investments. Warland was director general of AUTIF until 2001, which was a predecessor body to the Investment Management Association. Nicoll was deputy chief executive of the IMA until joining the FSA in 2007. She originally joined the IMA in 1992.
Speaking about working in an identical role to her husband, she said: "There will be things we won't be able to talk about, but we are used to disagreeing and it can be quite fun."
On her new job, Nicoll said: "My first job will be to get to know Schroders. From my own experience, there is a lot going on in Europe. That will be one of my early focuses as the new European parliament gets going in the autumn."
Nicoll will not begin her new role until after the closing date for responses to the latest round of consultations on the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive on 1 August. However, it is something she is expecting to create waves throughout the industry.
She explained: "I think it will have wide ramifications for the asset management industry generally in Europe and is something that I will need to get stuck in on."
Correction: The original article stated Philip Warland works at Fidelity Investments. His employer has asked us to clarify he works at Fidelity Worldwide Investments and not Fidelity Investments.

Custom: Lesser of 50% of incremental cost, 2-year payback equivalent, or 50% of life cycle avoided demand and energy costs
Empire District Electric Company offers rebates to certain commercial and industrial customers for the installation of energy efficiency equipment. Prescriptive rebates for lighting, air conditioners, and motors are available for customers using CB and SH tariffs (commercial facilities with a demand of less than 40 kW). Custom rebates are available for customers on CB, SH, GP, PFM, and TEB rate schedules. If a small commercial customer applies for a customer rebate, the application will be evaluated to see if it can be accommodated under the prescriptive rebate formulas. Custom rebates will only be approved if there is a demonstrated cost-effective energy and/or demand reduction potential.
Prescriptive rebate levels vary dramatically according to measure, size, and efficiency. Measures that are not eligible for prescriptive rebates may be eligible as custom measures. Custom rebates are calculated as the lesser of three values: equivalent payback of 2 years; 50% of the incremental cost of the equipment; or 50% of the avoided life cycle demand and energy costs. All custom rebates must be pre-approved by the utility and are also subject to post-installation verification. Custom equipment must generally be UL-listed, or have an equivalent independent certification as determined by the utility.
Rebates will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested parties should contact the utility for additional information and application details.

Over the last month or two I've been working on a written/audio debate with Justin Schieber of Reasonable Doubts. The topic of the debate was "Does the Christian God Exist?" I imagine the debate may have been released earlier had it not been for my delayed responses due to health issues and moving out of our house and preparing to embark on our move to Scotland. I have apologized to Mr. Schieber concerning this and I extend apologies to the readers and listeners.
I was actually expecting much stronger arguments from Mr. Schieber. Two arguments were off topic and the other one was a far metaphysical and modal stretch. You'll be able to read his arguments in full but here are my thoughts :

- On the propagation of acoustic energy in the vicinity of a bubble chain
- Author(s)
- Nikolovska, Aneta; Manasseh, Richard; Ooi, Andrew
- Abstract
- In this paper, experimental data on the propagation of acoustic energy in the vicinity of a vertical chain of discrete air bubbles are presented. The acoustic energy was created naturally during the formation of each bubble at the bottom of the chain. Previous work has reported that the root-mean-squared pressure distribution is highly anisotropic in the vicinity of a bubble chain. A new experimental set-up has been developed to obtain 'snapshots' of the instantaneous acoustic pressure field using a triggering technique with two hydrophones. This methodology allowed coordinated measurement of the acoustic signal in the near and far field and the data were used to construct the instantaneous spatial distribution of acoustic energy around the bubble chains. The results show that the phase speed in the direction of the bubble chain has values substantially lower than the speed of sound in pure water. Bubble chains of different configurations were investigated and it was found that this speed of propagation is reduced for chains consisting of larger and more closely spaced bubbles.

From slow cooker entrées to vegetable side dishes and salads, find our collection of flavorful meatless curries.
West Indian Vegetable Curry
Bring the taste of the Caribbean Islands to your kitchen with this inspired side dish. Hindu immigrant workers brought wet and dry curry mixtures to Trinidad and Tobago. Here a habanero pepper is added for a brief time while the mixture simmers to impart subtle heat without overpowering the dish. Calabaza, also called West Indian pumpkin, has a brilliant orange, firm, sweet flesh, much like acorn or butternut squash. This vegetable dish is often served over rice or with coo-coo, the Caribbean rendition of soft polenta.

The United States is awash in gasoline. So much so, in fact, that the country is exporting a record amount of it.
The country exported 430,000 more barrels of gasoline a day than it imported in September, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
That is about twice the amount at the start of the year, and experts and industry insiders say the trend is here to stay.
The United States began exporting gas in late 2008. For decades prior, starting in 1960, the country used all the gas it produced here plus had to import gas from places Europe.
But demand for gas has dropped nearly 10% in recent years. It went from a peak of 9.6 million barrels a day in 2007 to 8.8 million barrels today, according to the EIA.
The drop was caused partially by the recession but also by the advent of more fuel efficient vehicles, higher prices and the greater use of ethanol as an ingredient in gasoline. Demand for other products made from crude oil like diesel and jet fuel has also declined, although not as much.
To be sure, the United States is still importing plenty of oil to make that gasoline -- and is still dependent on foreign countries for well over half the crude it uses.
But now the country's massive refining infrastructure is producing more gasoline, diesel and jet fuel than the United States needs, freeing it up to be exported to places like Brazil, Mexico and Chile where demand is still strong.
The Wall Street Journal, which reported on the export trend last week, said the United States is on track this year to be a net exporter of refined products for the first time in 62 years.
"We've got plenty of excess refining capacity," said Jonathan Cogan, a spokesman for EIA. "It's a reminder that this is a global oil market, and it's reflected by the movements of products to where they will get the highest prices."
Mark Williams, global head of refining, trading and marketing for Royal Dutch Shell, said exporting diesel and other refined products from the United States used to happen fairly irregularly but is now becoming much more common.
"It's growing as a new business," he said, although he cautioned that the United States would probably not become a huge exporter of fuel.
Still, the ability to export oil is good news for Shell and other oil companies like Exxon Mobil, BP and Chevron. They can use their extensive and modern refineries in the United States to make gasoline for the rest of the world.
But it may be bewildering for American drivers, who could experience record high gas prices next year even though U.S. demand could hit the lowest level in a decade, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.
"I can understand it, from a truck driver's perspective," said Kloza. "You're paying $4 or $4.50 a gallon to run your rig, yet we're exporting the crap out of this fuel. I'd be outraged too."
Still, he cautioned against restrictions on exports of diesel or gasoline, a move he expects politicians to at least talk about in 2012.
There's nothing forcing oil companies to bring crude to the United States to refine, Kloza said, noting that the refining industry employs thousands of workers.
"If you restrict exports, you'd really be looking for trouble," Kloza said. "You'd just see the refining and the jobs go offshore."

As a taxpaying property owner in Goliad County, I would like to comment on the recent accusations of racism that have been aimed at some of our elected county officials by Robert and Michael DeLaGarza.
To address all of Constable DeLaGarza's questions of why the agreement is being terminated, here is the answer, as I see it.
According to current county employee rules, if an employee leaves his/her position, they cannot be re-hired for three years and cannot receive benefits for one year. The SRO is an officer under the GCSO guidelines and should be supervised by the sheriff.
As it is now, the SRO that has been hired by Constable DeLaGarza has broken these very rules, and on top of that, has authorized paying him more than the other GCSO deputies.
I know the GISD has stated that it is going to be paying the wages and benefits for this SRO, but he is still a county employee and the county will be held liable for any actions taken by Mr. San Miguel.
This is not fair to the other county employees, yet I haven't heard anyone else screaming discrimination.
I believe that if the SRO were not a former county employee who quit his deputy position, and non-Hispanic, not a word would be said. This seems to be a vendetta against the sheriff by the DeLaGarza brothers.
Judge Bowman and Commissioners Bailey and Long now seem to be on their list as well. If not, then why won't the DeLaGarza brothers accept the new SRO agreement? As I see it, they are the ones who are being biased and unreasonable, and dare I say it ... racist.
As a member of this community, I find these accusations against Sheriff Brumby, Judge Bowman and Commissioners Bailey and Long appalling and without merit.
I have attended Commis-sioners Court meetings for many years and have attended all of the meetings pertaining to the SRO position, so I have seen and heard everything. I can say that our elected officials have acted professionally by not talking out of turn, raising their voices or acting maliciously toward anyone. I can't say the same for many others who were there.
People need to know what is going on, as Robert DeLaGarza stated.

I Heart Rutland: Residents of Rutland hold the keyBy Korrine Rodrigue
Commentary | October 02,2013
Korrine RodrigueI moved to Rutland more than eight years ago from Miami, Fla. My friends and colleagues in Miami often ask me "Is it true that in Vermont there are beautiful farms, covered bridges, ski mountains, and colorful leaves in the fall? Is it really like what they show in movies like Baby Boom?" My response is and always has been "Yes, it's all true. Vermont is truly the most beautiful state and whoever lives there is lucky."
I moved to the land of runners, yogis, charming inns, maple syrup, dairy farms, and Ben & Jerry's. We are healthier, fitter, leaner, more peaceful and happier than people in most other states. We have a great sense of community that is often not felt in places like Miami, NYC and Los Angeles.
Yes, Vermont is great but in the last few years our community has been plagued with the ill effects of substance abuse. We have all seen it firsthand, whether we have had our house or car broken into, our car stolen, or our business vandalized.
I became involved in our community just over one year ago due to the tragic death of Carly Ferro. I felt as a researcher who focuses on substance abuse, I personally could not watch our community become even more susceptible to drugs than it already was. I could not witness another tragedy that truly could have happened to any one of us or any of our kids.
So for the past 13 months, I have been working closely with our police chief, Jim Baker, on a strategic plan for Rutland. My focus on a daily basis has been: How we can fix this? How can we make all Vermonters healthy physically and mentally? How can we make our community less susceptible to drugs and reduce the overall demand for drugs?
We all know the reality here: The cops arrest the dealers but we have a huge demand so other dealers move right in.
I know that the problems in this community will not be solved by the police department, the hospital, social service providers or other entities on their own. There is not one entity that owns this problem. This is our problem; we all own it.
Every single day I make a point to drive around the streets of Rutland and take a close look at what is going on. There are people in our community who are truly struggling and need help. To be honest, at times it is a bit overwhelming. But I know we can fix it and now is the time.
I often wonder: Are we contributing to the problems with our politics, our beliefs, and our attitudes? As people are we complicating things here in Vermont? As a community can we think outside the box and take risks and chances on things that we may have not supported or wanted to do in the past?
Can we put aside labeling, judgment, personal gain and recognition, and political agendas to do what is right for the people in Vermont? As a community can we do a critical assessment of what is not working?
Can we stand up together and say "this is not working" and why? Can we say, "I think we need to implement something different because it just may improve things"? Can we work as a unified Rutland community team to each do our own part?
We cannot blame people, we cannot point fingers, we cannot constantly be negative, we cannot pass judgment, and we cannot focus on what has not been done. We cannot just hope that these people leave and become someone else's problem. This is not what Vermonters do. This is not our nature.
At the end of the day, we have all had different opportunities and maybe more support in our lives than others. We have so many great people in Rutland who are so committed to helping people and improving our community. Every person in this community has something they can offer. We all have different skill sets and strengths.
What can you offer a child in need, a single mother in need, a struggling family, someone who has just lost a job, or someone who is struggling with addiction? It is not always a monetary contribution that matters or makes the difference. Sometimes people just need to know that people care, that the community cares.

In D.C. , Sen. John Cornyn (R) Poses As An Anti-Earmark Champion: "I believe the public discontent can be accurately sourced, and Congressional earmarking process has become a symbol for wasteful and undisciplined federal spending. Earlier this month, I joined a bipartisan group calling for a one year moratorium on all earmarks. That effort failed. We missed a major opportunity to show we are serious about tightening our Congressional belts during a difficult economic period." [Everyone Loses in the Earmark Game, 3/31/08]
… But In Texas, Cornyn Downplays Significance Of His Earmark Opposition, Emphasizes That It's Only Temporary: Cornyn told the Dallas Morning News that the earmark ban, "'basically is a timeout while we reassess this whole earmarking process, which has been in some instances abused,' said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the GOP leadership… Cornyn, like some other moratorium supporters, said the policy should not and won't last indefinitely but agreed that for now, 'it will have an impact on Texas, just as it will have an impact on the rest of the country.'" [Dallas Morning News, 11/26/10]?
… And Requests Millions In Earmarks For FY2011. [Senator Cornyn FY2011 Appropriations Requests]


text: My 11 wk old only pooped once a week for the first several weeks of his life. The doctor advised at the time that this is common for breasted babies. He explained that he was just utilizing all of the breastmilk. Recently, I decided to change my diet to see if I could increase my milk supply. ie: oatmeal, rice and whole grains. I also eliminated milk b/c he was very gassy and I was told by several people that he could have a milk sensitivity. Well, he went from pooping once a week to daily. (Some times 2x a day) I'm not sure if it was my diet change that caused this sudden change because he also got his shots around the same time that I changed my diet and also he started taking a daily vitamin. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or have you experienced something similar?

What is in this article?:
- Without port updates U.S. will miss the export boat
- Competitors faring better
• To maintain our competiveness in the world market, it is essential that the U.S. update and modernize its ports to accommodate larger ships. Without this investment in infrastructure, we will literally miss the boat.
Someone once said that it's not leaving port, but coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
While this has some truth to it, the port that one departs from is just as important to a successful endeavor.
It may surprise many that if the planned expansion of the Panama Canal was completed tomorrow, the United States, one of the world's largest trading powers, would only have six ports deep enough to handle the new larger ships that will pass.
Yet, we are competing with all other parts of the world that are updating their ports. Since agriculture goods play a significant role in U.S. trade, modernizing our ports is extremely important for farmers and ranchers to be able to continue to thrive in the world market.
Even more surprising than the U.S. only having six large ports is the fact that all these ports are isolated on the East and West Coasts. That's right, Gulf Coast ports, including New Orleans, do not currently have the capacity to handle larger ships.
If upgrades to U.S. ports are not completed in time, for major trade leaving the U.S. Gulf, smaller boats will need to be utilized to trans-ship our goods to ports like those in the Bahamas and Dominican Republic, where they would offload to larger vessels traveling to Latin America, Asia and other parts of the world.
Similarly, goods coming from other countries would potentially have to go through the same routine in the Caribbean, offloading to smaller vessels to enter ports in the U.S. Gulf.
If you are scratching your head, you aren't the only one. This process of loading and offloading ships costs a lot of money. Inadequate port size also leads to higher transportation costs, because vessels may be loaded to less than capacity and more vessels may be required to ship the same amount of commodities.

State Board of Education promotes winter break reading with Common Core in mind
Common Core English Language Arts (ELA) Standards emphasize reading complex text, demonstrating knowledge of text, speaking and listening skills
SPRINGFIELD –The Illinois State Board of Education encourages families to ensure students are reading during winter break and tapping resources regarding the English Language Arts (ELA) Common Core Standards. School districts across the state are implementing the ELA and math standards, also considered benchmarks or goals, to help prepare students for success in college and careers.
"Standards, of course, are just the first step but they help ensure that teachers and families have clear goals for each student," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "There are lots of online resources to help parents understand the new standards and some easy strategies for supporting these goals while traveling during the school break or reading on a cold winter's night."
The Common Core ELA standards set the standards not only for English language arts but also for literacy across content areas, including social science/history, science, the arts and technical subjects. The cross disciplinary approach emphasizes the importance of literacy within all subject areas and ensures students can independently build knowledge in these disciplines through reading and writing.
The ELA standards emphasize that children read challenging and complex text for their grade level. Experts recommend parents employ several strategies to help their child take on more challenging text:
- Talk with your child's teacher for recommendations on appropriate reading material.
- Encourage children to read and re-read. Let them know it's OK to read materials more than once for full comprehension.
- When children read complex text, ask them to read with a specific purpose in mind; i.e. for information, sequence of steps, to learn more about a character or answer specific questions.
Another way for parents to help their child find challenging text is to take their child's Lexile scores, found on individual student Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) results, and go to the free online "Find a Book" utility at www.lexile.com/findabook to target books that not only match their interests but are also in the upper end of their score range or band. The Lexile range for a reader spans from 50L above his or her Lexile measure to 100L below.
The Common Core emphasis on complex reading forces instruction on the process and analysis that helps students become effective readers, according to Laurie Elish-Piper, professor of literacy education and director of the Northern Illinois University Reading Clinic. Teachers may talk about the process of making an inference, handling difficult words or concepts, or determining an author's theme or purpose.
"At the same time, it's important to read for entertainment…just like as adults, we don't read Shakespeare and Faulkner all the time,'' Elish-Piper said. "I think of it like eating a balanced diet. Kids need to have challenging complex text that is part of their reading diet but at the same time they can have fun and entertaining reading. We want children who not only can read but love to read and choose to read for fun."
In K-5, fulfilling the English Language Arts standards requires a 50-50 balance between informational and literary reading. Informational reading primarily means content-rich, non-fiction in history/social studies, science and the arts. During grades 6-12, the Common Core ELA standards place greater emphasis on literary nonfiction than prior standards.
Another strategy for supporting the Common Core ELA Standards is to establish a regular reading time at home when all family members sit down to read together. Parents might ask their children evidence-or text-based comprehension questions about subject matter, thinking of the 5 W's (who, what, where, when and why) as a way to launch the discussion, i.e. `who is the main character or individual in the text?' The Common Core ELA standards emphasize that children should be able to use evidence from text that demonstrates their understanding and ultimately present careful analysis and well-defended claims both orally and in writing.
Speaking and listening skills are also integrated throughout the ELA standards at each grade level. Asking children to explain their answers or opinions is one strategy for encouraging good speaking or listening skills. Addressing a child's specific comments during a conversation or debate is another way to model good listening skills.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts to provide a clear and consistent framework, but it's up to local districts to develop curriculum aligned to these standards.
Illinois is among 45 states and three territories to have adopted the Common Core Standards and expects to administer a new assessment aligned to the standards in 2014-15. Illinois is a lead state in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and families can read the first draft of test samples at http://www.parcconline.org/ About 20 percent of the items on the 2013 ISATs will be aligned to the Common Core ELA and math standards.

Church and state in Bulgaria
Bulgaria is a small country with a long history. Like other Balkan countries, it has gone through turmoil, slavery, exaltation and defeat. Though Bulgaria is the quietest and most obscure nation on the troubled Balkan peninsula, its people have to wrestle with the usual social evils that plague former communist-bloc countries: slow reforms, economic difficulties and moral confusion.

Resistance 3 ReviewBy Morgan Webb - Posted Sep 06, 2011
Whimsical weapons combine seamlessly with the violent and brutal setting to create an engaging game you can't wait to replay. The single player experience is enough to warrant the game an excellent score, and the multiplayer will likely satisfy the under-served PS3 online gamer.
The Pros
- Signature Insomniac weapons make this shooter stand out.
- The thirst for weapon upgrades makes the single player highly replayable.
- The robust multiplayer will satisfy most casual online gamers.
The Cons
- The campaign only supports 2 player co-op.
- Split-screen co-op drops resolution down to fairly dismal levels.
- Sony's Online Pass makes access to online features confusing and frustrating.
Resistance 3 Review:
In Resistance 3, you are an average Joe (Capelli), an ex-military man who is just trying keep his family and friends alive in a post-apocalyptic world. The large scale military battles of Resistance and Resistance 2 have been lost and the people have moved underground to eke out a living while Earth is colonized by the victors. Life is not destined to be quiet for Joe, and you are cajoled into a hail-mary suicide mission to the heart of the Chimera stronghold. Think The Road meets Halo.
It was a dark and stormy night at the end of the world...
Resistance 3 has a perfectly serviceable and impressively cohesive plot. I always knew exactly what I was doing and why, and when I finished I could give you an accurate account of what happened. I suppose it's a little sad that I am lauding the plot for being comprehensible, but we've all played shooters where you wonder why you are suddenly in a laboratory, and the only reason you can think of is that the designer thought a laboratory would make a bitchin' location for a level. The Resistance series itself has not been innocent of this sin, though it is perhaps not as guilty as some others.
However good the plot, better characters would have elevated the story from adequate to great. The aesthetic design was good, but their personalities were all fairly bland. I also want to add a small nitpick. Everyone at the end of the world is white? Really? Everyone? Maybe the Chimera killed all the Mexicans.
I will not go softly
You have a weapon wheel that makes choosing from your arsenal fast and easy. Each weapon has a primary fire and a secondary fire. For example, the Bullseye's primary fire seems like a normal machine gun, but its alt fire embeds a beacon into your target. Tag your enemy's week spot with your alt fire, then hide behind cover, point up and shoot. The bullets find their foe like magic. Then there is the Atomizer. Its primary fire creates a short range electrical shock perfect for crowd control, while its alt fire launches a temporary gravity well that traps anyone in the vicinity. There are of course lots more weapons to collect, including a beam that freezes enemies in place and a disease gun that turns baddies into contagious germ bombs.
Insomniac knows you want to play with your deadly toys, so they don't limit your ammo too much. I hate it when someone gives you an awesome gun and then never let you use it because it's overpowered. That being said, despite having a gun that shoots through walls, the single player is well balanced. They throw plenty of enemies your way and have a difficulty level for any type of fan. And don't forget, your enemies can shoot through walls too. This has a way of evening up the score.
Any fans of Ratchet & Clank in the house? You will be extremely happy with Resistance 3. Despite the realistic setting and violent world, the weapons and gameplay will often remind you of Ratchet. The Mutator sometimes feels a bit like the Black Sheepinator. The alt fire on the Atomizer is a satisfyingly realistic Rift Inducer 5000, and the Cryogun feels almost eerily like the Liquid Nitrogen Gun. Unfortunately neither the Groovatron nor Mr. Zurkon made it into Resistance 3. Maybe next time.
Also reminiscent of Ratchet is a classic mechanic that encourages players to experiment. You level up your weapons through use, and you have the potential to earn an extra 2 levels of goodies. I can't tell you how many times I died because I refused to use the appropriate weapon for a particular task - dammit I was going to level up my sniper rifle, even if I was in quarters more appropriate for the Carbine. The upgrades are noticeable and drool-worthy. When you level your shotgun it starts to set enemies on fire. This is an awesome bonus and it 100% never gets old. Oh, you want to shoot me? I light you on fire! Oh, you try to kill me? Kaboom! You are fire!
You will not be able to level all your weapons in one play through, and you will want to upgrade them further. When I finished the game the first time, I immediately wanted to start again to continue upgrading. Fortunately you have the option to keep leveling your weapons in a second or co-op playthrough.
At least the end of the world has good bump mapping.
The graphics are as good as one would expect for a title of this caliber. It is also appreciated that despite the post-apocalyptic setting the designers were not afraid to use a bit of color. However the fast pace of the game means you aren't given much time to revel in the art. There was one moment when I wanted to stare straight up and gaze (you'll know when you get there), and while I was able to momentarily clear the area and enjoy the view, I quickly had to tear away my eyes for fear of losing them altogether. Apparently the Chimera don't want me enjoying their breathtaking vista. This is all to say that the graphics and art are great, but the game is so fast paced you might not have time to stop and appreciate it. There is something to be respected about this - the art is in service of the gameplay. You're not forced to admire the view they worked so hard on, but it rewards you if you look up. It's the way it should be.
Good news for all you bulimics!
Want to become completely nauseous in 3 minutes or less? Just try to play Resistance 3 with Sony Move. Yup, it's that bad. You use the move controller to look around, but you don't really move the camera until your reticule gets to the edge of the screen, which creates a perceived delay between moving and looking - thus the immediate nausea. I stopped playing 15 minutes ago and I still have a headache. Good luck shooting anything by the way, it's not happening with the move. When you are trying to aim you get the distinct impression that you are trying to get a shot off while riding a slow moving boat (whoopee more nausea!). The move is just not sensitive enough to offer a rewarding experience. And this leads me to my little tirade:
I don't hate the Move. It is allowed to exist. Some people may like to play some games with it. I bet it's a super fun way to play Fruit Ninja. Does that mean it needs to be crammed down the throat of every developer and every gamer? Can't it just be good for some fun casual games? I will be happy to revisit the Move and other motion controllers when they make them sensitive enough to satisfy a core gamer, or design games specifically with the Move in mind. Until then, it's a waste of everyone's time.
And while I am on a tirade, I don't appreciate that every time I turn on Resistance 3, I get 3 warning screens about the Move, one about seizures, and one about 3D being horribly damaging to my eyes. It's getting to be a little much people. I'm just going to play in 2D with the controller. It sounds much safer that way.
Thank you, that is all. End tirade.
My Internet is Down
Resistance 3 is unlucky enough to be a sacrificial lamb for Sony's Online Pass program. You buy the game new, it comes with a one time use code that allows access to the game's online features. You buy the game used? Someone has already redeemed that code and you have to pony up for a new one from the online store (because we love giving Sony our credit card information, right? They've been so responsible with it in the past).
Sony thinks this is going to keep used game sales to a minimum, or at least recover some of the revenue that is lost. I think it will just keep sales to a minimum. At the very least it will cause confusion and frustration among gamers, who think it is perfectly normal and acceptable to take a game to a friend's house, or swap games with a friend for a weekend (and they are right). Sony is making the PS3's already confusing and frustrating online system feel unnecessarily punitive, and they are doing Resistance 3 no favors. Even though I am tempted to lower the game's score because of the Online Pass, Insomniac should not be penalized for Sony's policy, especially since it seems they are aiming for a multi-platform future.
Plays Well with Others
The campaign is available for two player co-op in split-screen as well as online. Split screen co-op is as fun as you would expect, and flanking is always a good time, especially since popping the Chimeran heat stacks makes such a satisfying sound. You take a big resolution hit in split-screen but it is an adequate experience if that is your only option.
Online multi-player doesn't have any revolutionary new ideas but it is a solid experience and compares favorably to most of your other PS3 options. 16 players compete in standard modes like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. Additionally you have Breach, where one team attacks nodes while the other defends, and Chain Reaction, where both teams attempt to capture nodes. You can also create a private game of any type and customize every piece of the experience. However I anticipate that Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch will dominate the field.
You start your online career with only one (crappy) loadout, but you'll soon be leveling up and unlocking more. Each loadout has room for a primary weapon, a grenade type, tactical and support abilities, as well as personal and combat attributes. Tactical and support abilities will be things like a deployable ammo-refilling beacon, a bubble shield, or an offensive turret. Personal and combat attributes are more passive abilities. My favorite allowed you to track the footprints of your fleeing foes, but others will allow you a faster rate of fire, allow you to scavenge ammo and health from dead bodies, or even to have leapers burst out of your corpse for a little post-mortem revenge.
You can also gain an advantage by achieving killstreaks. For example It's just a few kills to a shield or a cloak, and a few more to an Auger. OK so killstreak rewards aren't necessarily the newest idea in gaming, but that doesn't mean it's a bad one.
As you level up you are awarded skill points that you can spend towards a custom loadout, so the dedicated player can truly create a force to be reckoned with.
The Unfortunate Truth
We all know the problems with Sony's multiplayer - its never the seamless experience you will find on the Xbox 360 and Resistance multiplayer specifically has had issues in the past. Unfortunately due to the time restraints of this review, I have not had the option to play online with the rest of the world because the review had to be done before the game was officially out. I have played with small parties of other journalists and have seen what the game could be if Insomniac's tech and Sony's infrastructure work as promised. If you are an online-only gamer you should wait to see how the tech fares before you plunk down your cash.
Then again, if you are a hardcore multiplayer fan, are you really buying this game? Do you even have a PS3? Multiplayer is something every developer and publisher feels is necessary to prevent used game sales, but a shockingly small minority of people who buy the game actually go online. Who can blame them? The time it takes to get good at online multiplayer and level up is insane. This means most hard core online players cluster around a few titles, and the rest of us enjoy the escapism of the single player or co-op campaign. I would have gladly traded the Resistance 3 multiplayer for a 4 player co-op campaign, a longer campaign, or even more weapons. The multiplayer works, it's enjoyable, and it has some fun extras, but I don't see it stealing many fans away from Call of Duty or Gears of War.
A game that won't lose its triple-a rating
Resistance 3 provides a cohesive and polished triple-a shooter experience. What is most exciting is that Insomniac has decided to be itself. It always felt like they were trying to compete with the big boys by copying them, and that is an unwinnable war. It was Insomniac's answer to Halo or Call of Duty, rather than Insomniac's take on the shooter. Resistance 3 is finally confident enough to be itself - and in that way it is something brutal, something whimsical, and ultimately, something special.

New to this site
Hello I am new to this site but not new to NASCAR. I have been watching it for as long as I can remember. It was a family thing to watch on TV every weekend and go to the Daytona 500 every year when I was healthy enough to attend. Now I watch every single NASCAR event on my widescreen TV religiously being stuck at home 24/7 rooting for the 14/39/10 teams. Go Smoke. That is about all I have to say for myself at this time I just enjoy this sport so much. I am a female Smoke fan like no other. LOL

Nearly 60 incidents and one injury to a consumer's hand were reported with the recalled blenders.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that Haier America Trading LLC, of New York, N.Y., has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $850,000. The settlement agreement (pdf) has been provisionally accepted by the Commission (4-0).
The settlement resolves CPSC staff allegations that Haier America failed to report immediately to CPSC, as required by federal law, a defect involving its blenders that resulted in nearly 60 incidents and an injury to a consumer's hand. The nut on the blender that holds the blade assembly can dislodge during use, allowing the blade assembly pieces to break apart, and/or crack the blender's glass jar, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
Haier America sold the blenders through retail stores between October 2006 and October 2009. The company became aware of the incidents and injury between January 2007 and September 2009, yet did not file a full report to the Commission until October 2009.
Federal law requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to report to CPSC immediately (within 24 hours) after obtaining information reasonably supporting the conclusion that a product contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard, creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, or fails to comply with any consumer product safety rule or any other rule, regulation, standard or ban enforced by CPSC.
CPSC and Haier America announced a recall of nearly 54,000 blenders in December 2009.
In agreeing to the settlement, Haier America denies CPSC staff allegations of the defect and that it violated the law.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the

The Cuckoo's Calling
When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.
Strike is a war veteran – wounded both physically and psychologically – and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get – and the closer he gets to terrible danger…
A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London – from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho – The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable book. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
The Cuckoo's Calling is sold by all leading retailers.
The Silkworm
Robert Galbraith's second Cormoran Strike novel due to be published 19th June 2014.
A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant Robin Ellacott.
When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he has gone off by himself for a few days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.
But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realises. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published it would ruin lives - so there are a lot of people who might want to silence him.
And when Quine is found brutally murdered in bizarre circumstsances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before...

How are things going? Yes, some weight loss is NORMAL, up to 5-7% (Some sources say up to 10%) of birth weight. That is why the rule of thumb for a baby doing well is BACK to birth weight by 10-14 days. Was there ever another weight check done after the birth weight check? Baby may well have lost more than that but and is now in an upswing.
I am sorry but I am not getting something-does baby EVER latch and nurse-at all? Or is it all just pumping and cup feeding? (Brilliant you are cup feeding btw, Jack Newman has a nice video on that is you are still unsure about doing it. It does show the mom with her breasts exposed so, just fyi. http://www.nbci.ca/index.php?option=...id=6&Itemid=13
If you are went to a meeting or a 'class' led by an LC, that may be very helpful, of course, but that is not a La Leche League meeting, unless your local LLL Group does something a bit unusual, which is possible. But generally, LLL meetings are led by LLL Leaders, who are breastfeeding peer support volunteers. Some Leaders are LCs, just as some are nurses, doctors, or any other profession. But as Leaders, we offer mother to mother (or father) support, and usually I will let a dad attend a meeting if the other mothers there are in agreement and dad is willing to step out if neccesary. But that is my personal thing, not all Leaders would do that. Some Groups have couples meetings also.
I just think it would be helpful for your wife (or you) to talk to a Leader. You guys have alot going for you, your support of mom & baby is amazing. But you both need some reassurance and support.
If you want a book, I strongly suggest The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (8th edition, 2010.) This edition is the first breastfeeding book to become a bestseller, and for good reason. This book is written for the new mom (or dad) & the info in there is all based on scientific evidence & very up to date-frankly much more up to date than much of the info even availble online. The book is at online sellers (Amazon etc.) brick and motar bookstores, Whole Foods & other health food stores around here carries it, your library may have it.
