" Genre: Driving & Racing / Video Game for PlayStation 3 / Release Date: 2012-11-02 / Published by Electronic Arts "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The latest in the Need for Speed series sees a slight change to the core gameplay. Although progress is still based around a series of races, the action has now been transferred to a more open world environment. Your target is to climb the lists of the drivers Most Wanted by the police and acquire enough "bad boy" points to take the number one spot in the rankings.
As you would now expect from such a well-established series, presentation is excellent. The graphics are impressive and look very crisp and clear. The city you are racing in feels massive and there are many different areas (industrial zones, freeways, mountain roads) and to help vary the scenery and give the impression of a real, vibrant, living city.
The array of cars available in the game is particularly impressive, ranging from some pretty bog standard stuff, through to some more unusual choices (such as the Bugatti Veron) The cars all look superb. I'm no car buff, so I have no idea how faithful they are to their real life counterparts, but they all look stunning. There is a real difference in the ways the cars handle. Some are easy to steer at speed, others are dogs. This adds an extra element of challenge as you have to learn the quirks of their handling to get the best out of them Again, I've no idea how realistic their handling is when compared to the real life models, but they feel right in the context of the game.
The only real criticism with the graphics is that, when travelling at speed, it can sometimes be difficult to make out turns in the road. This can either lead to many frustrating crashes or missing a crucial turn mid-race that sees you drop several crucial places in a matter of seconds. Yes, there is an on-screen map to help with this, but sometimes the speeds are so great that it's not always possible to watch this and drive at the same time.
There's a real sensation of speed as you race around the city. You'd expect this from a racing game, but it's not always implemented well. Here it is, and at the top speeds, scenery just flies by, moving along at a deeply impressive pace. There's no doubt that racing along at top speeds in some of the cars in Most Wanted is a genuinely exhilarating experience.
Sound is also excellent, if a little more generic. It has the same annoying voice-over as other NFS titles (although curiously it wasn't quite as annoying in this one; perhaps I'm just getting used to it!) whilst a range of tunes accompany you whilst you race. Best of all are the noises the cars make. The engines throb mightily, as they should and there's none of this weedy sounding nonsense you get from some titles. Similarly crashes look and sound painful, as metal scrapes against metal or meets concrete.
The downside is that the gameplay has been altered. The open world environment is welcome, but it's sometimes lacking a sense of challenge. Every single car in the game is instantly available for you to find and use (unlike most games where the better cars are rewards for completing a race. As such, Most Wanted can feel a little overwhelming and aimless at times. Because there are so many cars to find and so many individual races for those cars to compete in, it can be tricky to decide how best to approach the game. Do you stick to one car and do all the races in that one? Or do you drive around the city, leaping into a new car every time you see one and leaving some challenges for your current vehicle uncompleted? Although it's fun to be able to do what you want, when you want to, it also means that Most Wanted lacks some focus.
The game also lacks those medium term goals, crucial for keeping you hooked. There are plenty of races to complete (short term goals) and a good long term objective (become Most Wanted), but the mid-term goals that will keep you playing are missing. Racing around the streets causing havoc and getting flashed by speed cameras is fun for a while, but it's not enough to sustain interest. Whilst the individual elements of Most Wanted are fun, I found that my gaming sessions were much shorter than on other racing games because there was nothing there to keep me playing. Don't get me wrong, Most Wanted is fun, but I do have to be in the mood for it.
This being an EA game, of course, they can't resist sneaking premium content in there, which requires you to pay more to unlock certain cars. This is deeply annoying on two counts. Firstly, when I've bought a game, I don't expect to have to pay more to unlock certain elements. Secondly (and in some ways more seriously) it destroys the atmosphere of the game. The world of Most Wanted is well constructed and draws you into it. Then you come across a premium car, try and drive off in it, only to be greeted by the PSN Purchase screen. This instantly destroys the atmosphere and pulls you out of the game. Way to go, EA.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a bit of a curate's egg. The presentation and basic gameplay are fun with the opportunity to race around an open world environment discovering a massive number of cars. At the same time, it can sometimes feel rather aimless and repetitive. It's worth playing certainly, but it's not the best game in the Need for Speed series.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is currently available for between £10-15. If you're a Playstation Plus subscriber, it's currently free to download.

I had been waiting for this game for so long ever since the first installment, which I loved and played over and over again. When it was announced at E3 2012 I was really excited, I was wrapped up in exams and had a massive backlog of games to play so I only picked it up around 3 weeks ago, from Cex for £25.
I personally have always loved racing games, loved both burnout and need for speed. It seems that the need for speed name has been bought out by Criteron, the owners of the Burnout series. I have not heard much from the Burnout series maybe they have taken a break to work on the many need for speed titles as late or they have given up on it, I can't say for sure.
Need for speed as a brand are not loyal to any platform. Most of their games are available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, ever since 1994. Some of their games have been a great success and some such as hot pursuit have been an almighty failure. I let these go as the games that are good are amazing.
The game itself starts off with some cinematics and a robot like female voice explaining the premise of the game and what you will have to do, it seems short and sweet under 5 minutes and then you will be put straight into a race to start the game, I started off with the Porsche 911 but some friends said they had started off with different cars. You find the cars at 'jackspots' and you can switch between any cars you have found at any time, excluding those that need to be purchased. You do this through the Easydrive feature.
Now Easydrive is a new feature added to the need for speed franchise, you press the right button on the D pad (PS3) which will bring up a menu on the left side of the screen with a range of things to choose from, these are:
-Races. You will choose from a range of races that are specific to each car, each car has its own set. Although they are the same type of races there would be a sprint, circuit, average speed race etc. If you do not have the expansion packs to races for each car will be locked, you would need to purchase terminal velocity and one other to unlock these. Before all the races there is a cinematic which is cool to start with but gets annoying after about the 100th time.
-Customise car. Every car has customisation options but only for performance purposes, the only way you can put your stamp on the car is with a custom licence plate. Which is very disappointing as customisation was a massive part of the first need for speed: Most wanted. Though this is more in depth than the performance design in the first instalment. You choose from Tires, Nitrous, Chassis, Body and Transmission. You get the same ones for every car with the same challenges to make them a pro version, which can get very repetitive and annoying for a long period of time, I cannot play this game for too long without getting disinterested. As there is no real 'end' point the story as such in this game is very weak and almost non existent again a big part of the first one, disappointing.
-Change car. Pretty self explanatory, you go to the make of car, choose the model and transport to it. Obviously once you have found the jack spot in the world for that car.
-Most Wanted cars. This is a list of the most wanted drivers you have to beat, you need a certain amount of speed points to race these cars, which if I'm honest are very easy to earn in this game. With the expansion packs there are also 4 more most wanted cars to take down with each pack. This is the story of the game, as I have said pretty non existent, no character development as the first one had a lot of.
-Multiplayer. This transports you to the multiplayer playground, you go to a meet up with other players and race, before all races though there is a challenge to gain some extra speed points. I have played a few some are how many takedowns you can get in a certain area in 5 minutes, how long you can drift in a certain area, how big a jump you can do etc. The other drivers can take you down while you do this though and this will eliminate you from the challenge, which can get frustrating.
The game has many makes of car varying from Ariel to Aston Martin, it is mind blowing the amount of cars that are in this game but if you can find the best one it seems counterproductive to switch to a less powerful one, though if your like me you just like to have an experience with all the cars and do all the races.
Now onto the racing, the point of the races is to earn the upgrades to your car, which are needed to beat the fastest cars, the stock stuff just isn't enough. You get easy, medium and hard races, which can get quite easy with a fully upgraded car, though bare in mind the first time you do these you won't have any upgrades. Though one thing I found is that if the autolog alert tells you that your friend has a faster time you can do that particular race in any car you decide to, which I find a bit stupid. The AI for the police seems rushed and stupid as they seem to just miss you all the time during races and pursuits they cannot corner you, maybe it's because I played the first one so much but I just feel the game in general is too easy for a seasoned player. The multiplayer saved this game for me, gave it endless replay ability and a way to get away from the sometimes dull single player.
Going back to the subject of the multiplayer, the cars are different on multiplayer to the single player, your progress does not carry over, you have to complete multiplayer challenges to unlock the upgrades for the cars online, which I find good as its a separating barrier, though at first it did annoy me. It does seem that the people that have bought the expansions are better but what do you expect really? This is EA we are talking about.
Another slightly new thing is Autolog 2.0, autolog was first introduced in the 2010 hot pursuit, to track progress of yourself and your friends and give you an incentive to beat them at races, it is integrated with Easydrive. As you get extra speed point for beating your friends times.
This game is available for £25 at Cex and even cheaper on amazon but the price keeps changing so I would check it before you buy.
In conclusion this game is great to pass the time and you feel like cruising around the place in any car you could want. It is not suited for long periods of play as it will get boring, though I don't know there are so many bad points about this game I still like it a lot, maybe its the name I don't know but I don't discount this game even with all it's faults. I would recommend this game for around £20 to pass the time, it is good in short bursts.
I love racing games, always have - always been absolutely shocking at the though and that's to be honest never stopped me playing them. Which sounds silly, but I just like having a go and hoping one day I do improve - the problem comes when I play with my other half, because he is really quite good at them and really puts me to shame and really does rip it out of me because I'm awful. I'm a good sport though and carry on playing anyway, and just crashing into him to annoy him...
Pleased that's not how our relationship works!
~*~ Need for Speed ~*~
EA sports that provide us with the brilliant games that are the Need for Speed brand, have been on the scene for a while now. Need for Speed have been bringing us games since about 1994, they have been on varying consoles since they started producing them - from PC all the way up to PS Vita, including the original Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube. Within the series they have created sixteen games, that have been available across varying platforms - and even now you can get some on your phone and hand held consoles. When it comes to racing games, most people will have head of or played a Need for Speed game at some point. For me, well I'd only ever played one NfS game in the past and that was on the Wii - which didn't really work as well as I'd hoped, so knew that with my PlayStation it would work a bit better. My other half went and bought this game, and spent an entire weekend teasing me with it - can see how it came to be that I really wanted the game in my collection even though I'm awful at racing games! Most Wanted is a game that has been out in a different guise before, some may remember back in 2005 - because it holds the idea of being chased by police around a city. Simple premise, with extras where you might not expect them!
~*~ Controller ~*~
Now my main problem with using the controller on this game, is that normally for racing games to have any sense of being able to control the car I need to be able to use the directional buttons to do so. However on this you have to use the left joystick to control the car, which I just find so difficult to manipulate the cars, now it might be me just being utterly useless, but they seem to be quite skittish cars and using the joystick just makes it worse. The rest of the buttons can be changed around because they aren't the ones which control the Autolog, one of the most annoying things in the world in my opinion - especially for when you just start playing you're not really going to get far in developing your car, and the Autolog just gets in the way. Especially when you get into the game from the last place you saved it has to pop up, and it's got a woman as it's voice and well she just drives me up the wall. It's only really useful if you've been playing for a long time and you're upgrading your cars regularly between races. Admittedly it is easier than having to go into a main menu to go and change your car, it's in game editing which is much easier - but for me it was just a hindrance to how far I could actually go when driving my car, because well I spent the majority of my time crashing from an over sensitive joystick, I'm trying to learn how to do drifts and the usual car activities with it but it still annoys. I'm learning, but very slowly - don't think my boyfriend has the patience to teach me how to do it either if I'm honest!
~*~ The Cars ~*~
The cars, where do I start! Now this first thing was the main reason I wanted to play this game, admittedly now I think it's just a bonus - are the Jack Spots, where you go out just for a bit of a drive around the map and see what kind of motors you can come across, so the easiest cars to find are always going to be the less prestigious ones unfortunately, so you'll have an old Porsche and some more cars that you see a lot of on the roads, to start with I got quite excited about having a Range Rover Evoque - purely because I'd quite like one of my own! There are Lamborghini's and Ferrari's, fancy Audi's and the occasional American truck and a few Ford's dotted about here and there. It's an addictive beginning to the game going and looking for cars, it's a good way to get a feel for the roads and get an idea of the direction you're going in. Also if you're not driving around to fast, which to be honest you can't if you're car hunting then you can get away with not getting chased by Mr Police Man! The bit I like most when you've got a car are the places on the side of the streets that you can drive through to fix your car, you can change the colour of the car every time you go through one but to be fair there is only a few different colours which you can change your car too but it's a challenge to see if you can get through the garage without getting caught by the police men, the damage you get to the cars is only aesthetic damage though. Which is a bonus because by now the amount of times I've rolled mine or crashed it into walls, street lamps, giant trucks or off the edge of roads it's unreal. I will say it's not all that true to life, but in a game like this I don't really expect it to be - however have a close up of your battered and bashed car and you will see every smash in the window screen it does make me laugh to be honest. Especially if you're driving around in, say the Ariel Atom and you roll it, in reality the drivers head would be about 50 yards in the opposite direction but in this game you stay firmly attached it's great!
~*~ Racing ~*~
As you race round the city, you will come across areas that are designated race spots - when you get to them there is a button combination which you need to press to make the wheels spin which signals that you are ready to race. Depending where on the map you are, depends what kind of race you get into, just playing in the game you will race against a computer - races are of varying difficulty but they do give you warning before you start playing them so you know if you're going for an easy, medium, or hard race - only problem is for someone like me that is a serious novice, having a medium race, means crashing and being at the back the majority of the time. Bonus is though that you can repeat them as often as you like, and you might get a couple of points for just taking part in the races. I'm awful at the races with the computer, but put me in a race with police cars and I seem to manage beautifully. Although with the races you can earn extras to upgrade your cars which to be honest is the point of the races so you can upgrade your cars to faster, better suspension and just generally make them more appropriate for racing, including nitrous - I have none of those things, but I have watched Alex get them! For doing things, such as getting caught by speed cameras, and beating speeds that friends on your network have done it gives points, avoiding being caught by police gives you lots of extra points and to be fair this is the thing I love doing the most. I love getting into a car chase with the police, the great thing is the more rules you break, more speed cameras you get flashed through, and the more blockades you break the more points you get and the heat level on the game increases. Which means the police cars get faster and better, so you better make sure you have a good fast car to be able to get away from them. The heat goes from one to six, by the time you get to six you better be a good evasive driver, to avoid the police. I've done it once and it nearly damaged my hand while I was playing it's not one for those that are inexperienced playing games because it will end up hurting because it's one of those games that you find you get really into really quickly!
~*~ Multi-player ~*~
Is online, it is essentially the same races that are in the single player, but it is just point to point racing so you end up racing between races. Depending on who you've got playing with you to how good the races are, if you're racing with friends its obviously going to be much better because you know who you're racing, and you can chat at the same time and it makes it a pleasurable experience. It's hilarious playing between myself and my boyfriend because he's really good and I just spend the entire time crashing but because there is only two of us I still get some points. Not many but enough so that occasionally I can add other things to my car to make sure I crash a bit faster.
I'm pants but I love it!
~*~ Extras ~*~
You need to race the Most Wanted in the game to unlock the better cars, which means racing against these 10 Most wanted men to get the best cars including the Veyron and my favourite car - Aventador, but I'm never going to get that far to be able to get the cars, but I can live with that because Alex has them so I can just steal his on his console if I really feel like racing my favourite Lambo, It's a great game to pass some time, especially with a lot of cars to find in the game, and with packs you can add extra to make sure you've got some seriously prestigious cars in your repertoire if you want to race them - but obviously that costs money from the PlayStation store. This game is for those who love racing games at any level, even if you don't get very far with it it's worth playing just for a laugh with your friends and a mission to get as many good cars as you can fancy. I've had this game since about September last year, and even now I'm still playing it, so that's a good 6 months of play for about £25 so I really can't complain for the price! I think I'll still be playing it in 6 months as well, because I haven't found all the cars yet, and I'm still trying to persuade Alex to teach me how to play properly!
~*~ Price and Availability ~*~
This is currently £15.99 in Argos! Which is an utter bargain so if you want it for PS3... Get to Argos! Or Amazon it's also £15.99 so if you've got vouchers and don't know what to do with them, get this game it'll be well worth the money, and all the hours glued to your PlayStation.
I recommend this to anyone with a PS3, Xbox or PC

Windsor police have ruled it arson after a late night fire at a Pierre Avenue apartment building.
Det. Greg Meloche said Windsor police, firefighters and paramedics responded to 995 Pierre Ave. around 11:20 p.m. Tuesday. There was a fire on the first floor of the multi-unit apartment building.
Firefighters found a mattress inside the vacant apartment that had been set on fire. No one was injured. The fire, which was contained to one apartment, caused about $20,000 worth of damage.
Police spent most of Wednesday morning at the building. They collected several pieces of evidence from inside the apartment and a burned child's mattress someone had tossed outside, including plastic jugs and bottles along with a bag.

1965 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 45 - Project FJ-Hybrid - Part IVPosted in Project Vehicles on August 11, 2004 Comment (0)
Getting to the final stages, our Project FJ45 is starting to look like the Toyota we had envisioned. From the power-steering setup (June '99) to the beefed-up pumpkins (July '99), cantilever shackles, and shortened bed (Sept. '99), we're now ready to get the body and powertrain put together.
Downey decided to use a factory straight-six from an FJ60, build an adapter setup to hold a 700-R4, then show off the package (at this point) in all its midsummer soft-top glory. However, this installment will focus on the mechanicals of the project, whereas our wrap-up trail-test episode (next time) will go deeper into interior detail.
From the beginning, we've focused on cleaning and improving our Toyota FJ to make it a force to reckon with on any extreme boulder-bashing trail. Our heavy-duty front and rear dual-pivot shackles should make this an axle travel champ. We'll find out in our next episode.

A gigantic storm front moved in over Sydney yesterday and residents were quick to upload dramatic pictures of it to the internet.
Huge clouds hundreds of feet high, with some shaped like giant tubes, loomed menacingly over the city during rush hour.
As forecasters warned of heavy rain and flash flooding, Twitter and Facebook became awash with pictures of the looming storm, with one describing the conditions as 'apocalyptic'.
Jason Murray tweeted 'b****y hell' as the storm rolled in. Another wrote: 'Bad time for bike commute home. OK, that's a storm alright.'
Josh Noble thought the clouds reminded him of a certain Hollywood blockbuster.
'It's Independence Day,' he wrote.
The clouds completely dwarfed the city's landmarks and the storm forced flights to be diverted.
Torrential rain, meanwhile, created severe road delays, with reports of jams several miles in length stretching back from Harbour Bridge.
Meanwhile, the sightseer of 4014 may have to pay a virtual visit to the Sydney Opera House or Statue of Liberty, according to a climate study that warns of dramatic ocean encroachment on heritage sites.
While modern civilisation is fascinated by the pyramids of Egypt, Rome's Colosseum and the Parthenon in Greece, much of this inheritance as well as our own cultural legacy may be lost to sea-levels rising as much as 1.8 metres due to global warming, researchers said.
Out of more than 700 listed UNESCO World Heritage sites, nearly 140 risk being flooded in 2000 years' time, they projected in a study published this week in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
These also include the Tower of London, Venice in Italy, Japan's Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Robben Island in South Africa where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years.
The calculation is based on sea-level rises associated with temperatures three degrees Celsius higher than pre-Industrial Revolution levels. The UN-targeted maximum rise is 2C.
"Our analysis shows how serious the long-term impacts for our cultural heritage will be if climate change is not mitigated," study co-author Anders Levermann from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) said in a statement.
The average global temperature has already increased by 0.8C on pre-industrial levels.
According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it could rise by an additional 2.6 to 4.8C by the end of this century, on a scenario for high emissions of greenhouse gases.
Levermann and his team set out to study the impact on cultural heritage of climate change - a phenomenon whose effects are usually measured for nature, the economy and agriculture.

Perhaps the BBFC will see fit to ban remakes of classics in the interest of public health. If not, we may have to face an update of 1949 British noir, The Third Man , starring - according to Ain't It Cool News - Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor. The movie will apparently be set in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles and Neeson will be trying to better Orson Welles's celebrated portrayal of the seedy Harry Lime. McGregor is allegedly set to tackle the role of the naive pulp writer, immortalised by Joseph Cotten, although a call to his publicist firmly laughed off the idea... no doubt what Vince Vaughn's agent did when news broke of Gus Van Sant's proposed Psycho remake.
"The pope is cool"
"I want to show it to the pope, I don't think he'd be offended. I think he's cool". So quoth Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein at a post-Dogma screening news conference. The Weinstein brothers, who paid $14m for the rights after Disney pulled out, fearing a Catholic backlash, failed to secure a distributor for Kevin Smith's controversial religious satire which stars Matt Damon , Salma Hayek, Ben Affleck, Linda Fiorentino... and Alanis Morissette as God. Mr Weinstein stated: "Disney is too easy a target. It's a comic fantasy, and we didn't want the movie to be clouded by the politics. I think other distributors can do a good job on this one, maybe a better job, because they can avoid the politics." The distributors, it seems, would beg to disagree.
Casting couch
Martin Scorsese and Liv Tyler are talking about putting together a film about Bettie Page, America's first cult pin-up. Tyler, it is claimed, is a dead ringer for Page, who has shunned publicity since the late 1950s. "Bettie was the first progenitor of the pre-'60s sexual revolution," said Mark Mori who owns the life rights of Page and encouraged Tyler to make the film. "She brought fetishism, bondage and forbidden sexuality to Middle America in the days of Ozzie and Harriet." Quincy Jones and Morgan Freeman are attached to produce a film adaptation of Ralph Ellison's follow-up to Invisible Man, Juneteenth. It took Ellison 40 years to pen his new novel, but just two months was needed to concoct the film package. Playwright David Mamet is currently in talks to adapt and direct the project and Freeman is also set to star in this epic about race in the 20th century.

This is a great program that has been in existence for 16 years. Keiko Nakajima, PAUSD Japanese teacher at JLS and Jordan has been running this on her own for the past 6 years. It is truly one of the best exchange experiences I have ever seen. I was a chaperone on this exchange in 2006 and for 2 weeks were were given VIP treatment on behalf of the city and school district officials of Tsuchiura City, Japan.
It would be really great if this could be replicated with other language teachers. Short of that, it would be great to have language immersion classes (4 hours a day) in Summer School sessions to give kids an idea of the language and culture they are interested in.

Keiko Nakajima should be commended for her dedication to foreign language learning and the PAUSD language program. Japanese language teaching is not fully integrated into all grade levels within the secondary school program so Ms. Nakajima continues to offset this with after school programs. She also spends an enormous amount of personal time on the exchange program to ensure it happens. While the exchange program has been integrated into the school system in Japan, it has yet to be in Palo Alto. Given the current emphasis on language learning and cultural experience, PAUSD needs to find a way to better and more fully integrate these into all grade levels within the district. I am not sure the language task force, which concluded the first quarter of this year, had much impact in this regard!

Andrew has helped me out of MANY jams in the past. He is honest and talks to me like a friend rather than a client and tells me how it is. He is genuine and interested in my life and problems. he is a peacemaker. I find him to be affordable. He has handled many different types of cases and issues for me ranging from lease negotiations to court appearances. i always call him before I do anything.

Several years ago, I had been referred by a client to his mother, a middle aged woman who had been both behind in her rent and also operating an illegal day care center in a government rent subsidized apartment building in Brooklyn. After several Court appearances, and with the assistance of the Judges' law clerk and the Judge, and after allocution of the Stipulation before the Judge (where the Judge explained the terms of the Stipulation, at my request) the client voluntarily entered into Court "so ordered" stipulation, which provided for a waiver of all rent arrears and four months to relocate. That evening, I received a phone call from a very angry client who pronounced that she had been tricked into signing the stipulation and that it was all my fault. Thereafter, she never paid her bill and I never heard from her again.
When I thereafter discussed this incident with her son, he laughed and said, "That's my Mother",

Brave Williams, 'Oooh Luv Ya' [VIDEO PREMIERE]
Subscribe to PopCrush on
If you're on the hunt for that bright, sizzling R&B sound, let Brave Williams' 'Oooh Luv Ya' into your life. The smooth, upbeat vibe of the tune is only further enhanced by its summery, bold music video. Check out the exclusive premiere of the video above!
We can't get enough of Williams' Jennifer Lopez-esque sound, and we're all about the almost '90s feel of the video, which features the singer belting out the summery track against a vivid, urban backdrop, flaunting her curves in a ruffled bikini top and high-waisted shorts.
"My vision for the video was to capture a vibrant, colorful, effortless and fun tone, that would leave the viewer with an honest sense of my personality," Williams tells PopCrush. "I'm a girl in every sense of the word: colorful, bouncy, sassy and moody."
Williams definitely brings out the sassiness in the vid, especially as she describes herself as rocking a "Coke bottle body but an ice-cold attitude." Love it!
It's that attitude that music video director Lil Chris Robinson (son of famed director Chris Robinson) loves about Williams and wanted to convey visually.
"Brave is definitely a force to be reckoned with," he explained. "… She gets it, plain and simple, and that made my job that much easier. We're from the same place so seeing her win with this record made me feel obligated to go all out and get the world to receive it the right way."

Nike, in Greek mythology, was the goddess of victory who aided Zeus in his battle against the Titans. Often depicted as a winged figure, we know her best as the Nike of Samothrace (or Winged Victory), one of the finest examples of Hellenistic sculpture and a highlight of the Louvre Museum in Paris. Saul Baizerman's academic training—in Russia as a young man and later at the Beaux Arts Institute in New York—introduced him to such mythological themes and to the idealized human figures of classical sculpture, which he explored extensively in his mature work. Subtly molding his forms from huge sheets of copper, he reinterpreted these beings in the stylized, sleek "moderne" sensibility of the 1950s. The copper fabricating process allowed Baizerman to endow his figures with an immediacy and vitality that he felt unable to attain in bronze. Indeed, this Nike seems nearly ready to rise up in flight.

Using BIM for smarter and safer scaffolding and formwork construction: a preliminary methodology
Chi, Seokho, Hampson, Keith D., & Biggs, Herbert C. (2012) Using BIM for smarter and safer scaffolding and formwork construction: a preliminary methodology. In Modelling and Building Health and Safety, Singapore.
Accepted Version
(PDF 328kB)
The goal of this research project is to develop specific BIM objects for temporary construction activities which are fully integrated with object design, construction efficiency and safety parameters. Specifically, the project will deliver modularised electronic scaffolding and formwork objects that will allow designers to easily incorporate them into BIM models to facilitate smarter and safer infrastructure and building construction.
This research first identified there is currently a distinct lack of BIM objects for temporary construction works resulting in productivity loss during design and construction, and opportunities for improved consideration of safety standards and practices with the design of scaffolding and formwork. This is particularly relevant in Australia, given the "harmonisation" of OHS legislation across all states and territories from 1 January 2012, meaning that enhancements to Queensland practices will have direct application across Australia.
Thus, in conjunction with government and industry partners in Queensland, Australia, the research team developed a strategic three-phase research methodology: (1) the preliminary review phase on industrial scaffolding and formwork practices and BIM implementation; (2) the BIM object development phase with specific safety and productivity functions; and (3) the Queensland-wide workshop phase for product dissemination and training.
This paper discusses background review findings, details of the developed methodology, and expected research outcomes and their contributions to the Australian construction industry.

(Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, December 21, 2013 6:08 PM
By Frank DiCesare / American Press
An explosion at Axiall's plant in Westlake Friday afternoon caused a large fire that sent toxic chemicals into the atmosphere.
Twelve motorists were admitted to local hospitals for respiratory treatment. No fatalities or employee injuries were reported in the incident, said Sgt. James Anderson, state police Troop D spokesman.
"People drove through the product as the smoke was going through the interstate, and they are now at the hospital under observation," Anderson said. "This is stuff you don't want to breathe."
Officials from the state's Department of Environmental Quality arrived on the scene to check for toxic chemicals coming from the smoke. The department found "unknown amounts" of EDC dichloroethane, hydrochloric acid and vinyl chloride being released into the atmosphere, said Tim Beckstrom, DEQ's spokesperson.
The explosion happened in the plant's Number 2 furnace of its PHH unit shortly after 1:30 p.m., prompting state police to close both sides of Interstate 10. Axiall's employees and contractors were evacuated from the plant as the company's internal fire department responded to the blaze, extinguishing it within an hour.
The Calcasieu Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness issued a shelter in place shortly after 2 p.m. for Westlake residents, which was lifted less than an hour later,
Axiall officials issued an all clear notice at 2:50 p.m.
Patricia Prebula, Axiall's spokesperson, said the company is unaware of any off-site impact. She added that the PHH unit, which holds vinyl chloride and hydrochloric acid, is located on the plant's southwest corner.
Beckstrom said DEQ officials also conducted air monitor tests for acids and lower explosive limits. LEL's are the lowest percentage of a gas or a vapor in the air capable of producing a flash of fire in the presence of an ignition source. He added that the tests are in their beginning stages and was unsure of when the results will be determined.
In a statement to the American Press, Alan Chapple, Axiall's director of corporate communications and public relations, said the company's "investigation into the cause of the fire is continuing."

Title: Disturbing
When I see this it reminds me of the LAIA ads that constantly appear within local media. Ironic how in a moment these local industries, that seem to be selling themselves as good neighbors, can release a cloud of toxic chemicals and for days afterward they state the incident is 'under investigation'.
What are effects of these chemical compounds when exposed to humans? What medical advice has been given to anyone that thinks they were exposed? Hydrochloric acid and vinyl chloride even SOUNDS dangerous but at least in this report there is no description of the dangers of either.

OMG...."unsure if when the results willl be determined".....................are ya kidding? we CAN breathe the air---just dont 'inhale it", huh??????

The head of a haredi Orthodox group called on parents to prevent their children from dressing up as Israeli soldiers for Purim.
Rabbi Mordechai Blau, head of the Guardians of Sanctity and Education, cited tension over the drafting of yeshiva students in offering the warning on Feb. 12. Israeli army costumes are popular among young Orthodox boys at Purim time.
Rather, the rabbi suggested, boys should dress in U.S. Army costumes for next month's holiday.
Last week, haredi Orthodox demonstrators throughout Israel protested against millions of dollars in cuts to yeshiva funding ordered by Finance Minister Yair Lapid in response to a ruling by the country's Supreme Court over the haredi Orthodox yeshiva students' draft deferrals.
A government committee headed by lawmaker Ayelet Shaked of the Jewish Home party is working to finish revising a universal draft law that already has passed its first reading in the Knesset. The final bill is expected to be brought for its second and third reading in mid-March. — jta

Federally-funded crime prevention program helps decrease violence among at-risk children and youth
November 12, 2014 Prince George, British Columbia Public Safety Canada
Today, Bob Zimmer, Member of Parliament for Prince George—Peace River, on behalf of the Honourable Steven Blaney, Canada's Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, announced $2.4 million in federal funding over five years for the crime prevention project Crime Prevention through the Strengthening of Youth, Families and the Community, which will help children and youth in Prince George, British Columbia.
The project is comprised of three core components: child/youth classes which focus on developing communication, problem solving, and coping skills; classes which teach parents and caregivers effective skills; and family classes which allow the children and parents to practice what they have learned through practical exercises. Strengthening family relationships will help children and youth steer clear of delinquent and criminal behaviour. This project is linked to the City's Crime Reduction Strategy.
Quick Facts
- The City of Prince George will deliver the project in collaboration with the School District #57 and Prince George Native Friendship Centre to 400 children and youth aged six to 14 and their families.
- The Government of Canada has a number of initiatives to help ensure that all Canadians feel safe in their own communities, including ongoing funding to support the National Crime Prevention Strategy.
- Evidence-based models supported by this fund help youth make smart choices through the provision of community-based educational, cultural, sporting and vocational opportunities.
- Since the creation of the Crime Prevention Action Fund in 2008, $178.1 million in funding has been approved for a total of 214 projects in communities across Canada.
"Youth crime and violence are serious concerns for many Canadian families, which is why our Government continues to invest in community-based projects that help those who are at risk. Through projects like this one, we are building stronger and safer communities for generations to come."
- The Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
"The funding announced today by our Government will enable the community of Prince George to take concrete action to deal with local crime. Along with our partners, we are taking steps to provide at-risk children, youth and their families with the tools and opportunities they need to steer clear of crime and live in a safe community."
- Bob Zimmer, Member of Parliament for Prince-George – Peace River
"The funding received by the City of Prince George from Public Safety Canada will be utilized to support the implementation of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP), a component of the Mayor's Task Force on Crime. When the Mayor's Task Force on Crime was implemented, we earmarked the need for grassroots work with at-risk youth and families in the city. Having already seen significant results from this task force, we look forward to implementing the next phase and introducing the Strengthening Families Program."
- Mayor Shari Green, City of Prince George

regression with random effects -xtlogit, re-. While I'm able to
calculate pseudo R² for my pooled models with cluster-robust standard
errors -logit, cluster (...)-, I'm not able to calculate these for the
-xtlogit, re- model.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Harrowing historical drama 12 Years a Slave won the coveted best picture Oscar on Sunday, at the climax of the 86th Academy Awards.
The movie by British director Steve McQueen beat eight fellow nominees - American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, and The Wolf of Wall Street.

Matthew McConaughey earlier picked up the Academy Award for best actor for Dallas Buyers Club.
The star won the award for his portrayal of Ron Woodroof, a homophobic rodeo cowboy who tests positive for HIV in the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and battles US regulators to get the drugs he and others desperately need.
Australian Cate Blanchett won her second Oscar on Sunday for her role as a socialite who suffers a breakdown in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.
Blanchett, 44, was the favourite to win this year's Oscar after sweeping awards season with prizes including the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and BAFTA earlier this year.

Blanchett beat Amy Adams, Sandra Bullock, Dame Judi Dench and Meryl Streep for the Oscar.
"As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women," Blanchett said in her acceptance speech.
Lupita Nyong'o wonbest supporting actress for her harrowing portrayal of a slave who's caught her sadistic master's eye in 12 Years a Slave.
It was the first Oscar nomination for the 31-year-old Nyong'o, and she won it for her film debut.
Accepting her award, she said: "Thank your to the Academy for this incredible recognition. It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is due to so much pain in someone else's."
Not just a breakout movie star, the Mexican-born actress of Kenyan descent has also made a huge splash in the fashion world.
The other nominees on Sunday were: Sally Hawkins, Blue Jasmine; Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle; Julia Roberts, August: Osage County; and June Squibb, Nebraska.
Earlier, actor Jared Leto picked up his first Oscar for his supporting role as a HIV-positive transgender prostitute in Dallas Buyers Club.
Watch: Stars hit Oscar red carpet
Accepting his best supporting actor prize at the famous Dolby Theatre, Leto thanked his mother, saying: "Thank you for teaching me to dream."
For much of the past six years, Leto shunned Hollywood, spending his time not on film sets but as the frontman for rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars.
But when the 42-year-old outsider decided to return to Tinseltown, he did it in grand style, taking on the challenging role of the coquettish Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club - capping an awards season in which he also earned a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild prize and the Independent Spirit Award.
Dallas Buyers Club tells the true story of Ron Woodroof, a homophobic rodeo cowboy who tests positive for HIV in the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and battles US regulators to get the drugs he and others desperately need.
Rayon becomes the unlikely business partner and friend of Woodroof, who was portrayed by Matthew McConaughey, himself nominated for the best actor Oscar.
Space thriller Gravity from Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron, racked up seven Oscars - including Best Director, as well as for technical achievements like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness.
It was the first Academy Award for Cuaron, 52, whose film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney mixed dazzling special effects, suspense and human drama.
Dressed in a tuxedo, returning host Ellen DeGeneres opened the live telecast taking friendly jabs at the star-studded audience and nominees, from Jennifer Lawrence for her tripping on the stage last year to Meryl Streep, nominated for the 18th time.
DeGeneres's impromptu selfie from the audience set a record for the most-retweeted post ever and temporarily disrupted Twitter Inc.'s service.
During the ABC ceremony, DeGeneres went into the audience and gathered up Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Spacey, Jared Leto, Lupita Nyong'o and others for a photo. The post was retweeted more than 536,000 times within half an hour. Twitter was momentarily disabled for some users and quickly broke the record for most-retweeted post.
"We crashed and broke Twitter," DeGeneres said later from the stage. "We made history."

My new GSD Dero!
4 Attachment(s)
Hello all, I've just now gotten around to posting pictures of my new boy Dero (pronounced like "arrow" with a D in the beginning)! I've had him a week now and love him, even though he can be a troublemaker. ;)
He's currently 9 weeks and is my first GSD.
I've attached pictures from when he was 4 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, and yesterday (being held by my friend).
I'm already in total love! :wub:
Dero's a cute pup and I just love the third picture
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
He's adorable! :wub:
Too cute, hope you enjoy him!:):)::)
What a super handsome guy! His face in the 4th photo looks very intelligent. His paws are so big in the 1st haha
What a little sweetheart! Congrats!
Frame the fourth picture. It is priceless. Enjoy your new boy!! Young GSD puppies are bigger each morning than when they went to bed . . .
Thank you everyone! I am enjoying him! I wonder how big he will be; his paws are as big as our 8 year old Border Collie/Aussie mix already at 9 weeks. I think he's a normal weight for his age though. He's only 13 lbs at 9 weeks (though if this doesn't sound right, please let me know).
He's a pretty smart guy. We already have a good foundation with potty training; haven't had an accident for about a week now today. We've also learned some basic obedience and he picks it up fast. We start class in about a week too.
I'm sure I will have some more questions eventually since this is all new to me, but thanks again everyone for the comments! :)
Congrats, it´s gonna be huge

Hi! I stumbled across this thread as i was looking through the puppy place and i knew i had seen the name Dero somewhere before! I finally figured out that he's from Presley and i've seen those pictures on her fb page! I am picking up my boy from there in less than 3 weeks!
they have all been incredible to work with and talk to and it's been a pleasure getting to know them as well as getting to know my boy through all the picture updates. unfortunately i live in Atlanta and its a long haul to get out to hang out with them, but i am going to be making the 7 hour drive on wednesday to visit my boy and meet everyone else! Your guy is just so handsome! I can't find anyone who hasn't been happy with the pups they've gotten from Carol and that says a lot about them!
congrats on the new addition! i can't wait to watch him grow :)

ENMU-R graduates largest class ever
Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell dental hygienist students show off their pearly whites as they and fellow graduates prepare for their march onto the Wool Bowl football field for commencement ceremonies, Friday evening. (Mark Wilson Photo)
About 200 graduates celebrated the beginning of new ventures during Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell's 57th Commencement Convocation Friday night at the Wool Bowl. The university had a total of 480 graduates this spring, the largest total graduating class in ENMU-R's history.
The ceremony included employability graduates from New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy, bachelor's and master's degree candidates from Eastern New Mexico University and master's degree candidates from New Mexico Highlands University's School of Social Work.
"This graduation ceremony is a major milestone in your lives, and you will soon move on to your next steps in your continuing education or chosen careers," said John Madden, ENMU-R president. "It took courage and determination to continue in your education and learn new skills despite challenges along the way. Thankfully, you had many people who supported you and encouraged you and keep you focused on your goal."
The featured speaker at the ceremony was Gina Vela, who graduated Friday with an Associate of Science degree in nursing. Vela, a 2009 graduate of Roswell High School, plans to enroll in an anesthesiology training program to become a certified nurse anesthetist.
"We've crossed days off our calenders, and finally, today, we've concluded a goal, and we are already getting prepared for future goals," Vela said. "But this time with our minds in peace, knowing that our passage from this university has made us stronger to face the future.
"We have been living in a world of books. During our studies, we've assumed care of an injured world, we mapped our plan of care, prioritized our interventions, and began to paint a different world. The world we want. A cultural world in which mutual respect and tolerance prevails.
"Among the walls of the university we have shared joys, frustrations and knowledge. Together we prepared presentations, projects and exams. Together we've exchanged customs, languages and ideas. Together we have expanded our horse sense and initiated new frontiers. And above all together we've nursed the world we want. A united world in which we are aware of its many needs.
"We can continue nursing a different world. A world full of true, responsible and ethical professionals.
"From looking from far away, we can also see our education as a work of art, which meets our expectations, because each intervention by us has created a more solid and consistent transformation," she said. "This work of art is the result of several years of study and work that would not have been possible without those who support us.
"There is still much to do to this work of art. Because this is just the beginning. The beginning of a great work with transcendence depends on each one us, because there is only one limit. The limit we each impose on ourselves."

How do I get my old cats to get along with the new cat that I have brought into the home?
I have had two cats both Himilayans for the last 10 years. Recently my neighbor pasted away and I took one of her cats. This cat has one eye and is blind. I have put this cat in a cage and put him in my bedroom. The door is left open so that my other cats can come and go and get to know the new cat. However, they won't even go into the room and look at him. I don't know how to introduce they so they can live together in the same household. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The following website is one of the best and most extensive I've read on introducing cats to each other:
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 1/28/09. Helpful? / 0
Because the new cat is blind things will take longer than normal but you will be able to successfully introduce them if you give it time.
You'd be better off using a spare room for the new cat. This will let him settle in and have somewhere safe with a reasonable amount of room. A few times you should shut your cats in your bedroom and let the new cat explore the house for an hour so he can find hs way around without any risk of getting into a fight with your current cats. This will also help everyone get used to each others smells.
Once your new cat is acting more confident on his trips around your house and has learned his way around you can start the introductions. The next time leave one of your cats out and let them meet. They'll probably hiss which is fine but be ready with a water pistol/plant sprayer in caes they fight. Let them meet one at a time to start with before you try everyone together.
Also get some Feliway which really helps keep cats calm.

The District 10 playoffs are finally upon us. This week in the Saturday Morning Quarterback we are going to take a look at the probably playoff matchups and how they came to be on Friday night.
Class A
(1) Sharpsville vs. (8) Cambridge Springs
(2) Youngsville vs. (7) West Middlesex
(3) Mercer vs. (6) Saegertown
(4) Mercyhurst Prep vs. (5) Farrell
West Middlesex and Farrell secured spots on Friday with Sharpsville's 47-20 rout of Linesville. Joey Flynn scored five touchdowns for the Blue Devils, including three TD receptions from Jacob Henwood. Farrell was off and moved into third place with Mercer's 42-6 rout of West Middlesex. Kyle Mariacher ran for 271 yards and five touchdowns to continue his torrid pace this season. The Big Reds and Steelers finished in a tie for third place but Farrell has the tiebreaker with a 18-13 win over Middlesex a few weeks ago.
Cambridge Springs locked up the final playoff spot from Region 2 Friday with a 12-7 win over Iroquois. It turns out that the Blue Devils didn't need a win with Eisenhower falling 21-18 to Union City, but Cambridge needs all the momentum it can get going into the postseason. The Blue Devils have a date with Sharpsville in the south and it won't be easy. Youngsville, which had already clinched the No. 1 seed, made a statement Friday by blowing out Saegertown 48-22. Jordan Gurdak ran for 224 yards on only nine carries, including four touchdowns for the Eagles.
Class AA
(3) Hickory vs. (6) Northwestern
(4) General McLane vs. (5) Greenville
Byes: (1) Wilmington, (2) North East
The field was set before Friday but several teams faced big tests in Week 10. North East traveled to Waterford to take on a tough Fort LeBoeuf team and was fortunate enough to leave with a 14-11 win. Tyler Johnson and Alex Svetz each reached 100 yards in the win, giving the Grapepickers another quality non-region win. North East will have a week off before a showdown with Hickory likely in the semifinals. If North East and Hickory meet, it could be the de facto D-10 championship. Northwestern saw what Region 3 can bring Friday with a 28-0 loss at Wilmington. Gunnar and Tyler Donati scored two touchdowns each in the win while quarterback Josh Tekac was out of the lineup. The quarterback is important to the Greyhounds and his injury could cost him the rest of the season. If he can't go, General McLane might nip the 'Hounds in the second round. McLane had no problem with winless Franklin on Friday in a 61-33 win.
For Class AAA and AAAA, click below.
— Tom Reisenweber
Class AAA
(3) Slippery Rock vs. (6) Corry
(4) East vs. (5) Meadville
Byes: (1) Grove City, (2) Cathedral Prep
The brackets could be switched with East and Corry playing in the first round and Slippery Rock taking on Meadville. The District 10 Committee will have to decide who is the higher seed between Slippery Rock and East. The Rockets have a better overall record but D-10 could decide to go geographical and have East and Corry meet with Meadville and Slippery Rock playing in a rematch. The Rockets beat the Bulldogs in overtime earlier this season.
Prep proved it didn't need Damion Terry or Delton Williams on Friday with a 35-0 rout of East. John Chereson set a school record with four field goals in the win and is on pace to smash all school kicking records. East had eclipsed 30 points the previous two weeks before its offense was completely shut down. Meadville had no problems scoring against Titusville with a 55-0 win. The Bulldogs are putting together another late-season run and could be a dangerous team in the postseason.
Class AAAA
It looks like the District 6-9-10 subregional will go through Erie. Strong Vincent finished as the top seed despite DuBois' 52-21 win over Bradford on Friday. A win over a Class AAA team didn't help the Beavers overcome the idle Colonels. Strong Vincent will likely host State College in the first week in Erie, while DuBois draws Mifflin County. Both games are likely to be played Nov. 12 at the Colonels' and Beavers' homefields.

CHICO -- A fast-moving vegetation fire burned northwest of the Chico airport and close to diesel and gas fueling stations on Thursday.
The fire broke out about 11:30 a.m. in the back of a motor home in the vicinity of Hicks Lane and Oasis Drive. It burned about 17 acres of grass and destroyed the recreational vehicle, a junk car and miscellaneous items before being contained about 1:20 p.m., Cal Fire Capt. Scott McLean said. The size of the fire was originally pegged at six acres but later revised.
According to an incident report submitted by McLean, the fire was caused by an illegal residential burn.
The residents where the fire began reported it after attempting to put it out, McLean said.
There is currently a burn ban in effect within Butte County and the person responsible for the fire was cited, according to Cal Fire.
The fire was very dangerous because of its proximity to several residences and businesses in the area, McLean said. The fire also quickly funneled its way to the airport, and that was without a lot of help from the wind.
There were no reported injuries.
Chico fire and Cal Fire-Butte County both responded to the blaze. Ten engines, two water tenders, one bulldozer, two helicopters and one air tanker that was diverted from the Mendocino fires responded to the scene.
Firefighting resources were positioned at the north end of the airport to protect the buildings there, about a quarter-mile from the ignition point.
The fire, which began in Butte County jurisdiction and spread into Chico, burned onto the Chico Municipal Airport property and slightly damaged its fence, said Chico Fire Inspector Marie Fickert. No airport buildings sustained damages.
Transfer Flow reported it evacuated its 85 employees when the fire came "within inches" of its gas and diesel fueling stations, and chemical storage.
Flames reportedly burned around Transfer Flow's buildings and torched all of the land owned by the company, according to an email sent from Laurie LaPant, Transfer Flow vice president. No buildings were damaged.
Fire crews will continue to mop up and patrol the area for the next couple of days, according to Cal Fire.

Jakarta, Indonesia – Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and Indosat today announced an operator billing option for Indosat's BlackBerry® customers that purchase apps on BlackBerry® App World™.
Operator billing will allow Indosat's BlackBerry customers to conveniently and securely purchase apps from BlackBerry App World and charge the purchases directly to their Indosat bill.

Pentagon: Military Casualties in Colorado Shooting
Published July 20th, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon says that some members of the military were either killed or wounded in the Colorado shooting at the Batman movie.
Pentagon press secretary George Little says that it's not yet clear how many military casualties there were, or specifically whether they were killed or injured.
Marine Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman, says that initial indications are that the suspect in the shootings, James Holmes, was not a member of the military.
Holmes has been taken into custody in the deadly Denver-area shooting spree that killed 12 people and injured at least 50 others during a midnight showing of the movie Friday.
The FBI said there was no indication that the shooting is tied to any terrorist groups.
