High Moon Studios's tenure on Transformers has been a rocky one. After a very promising start with 2010's War for Cybertron, the studio then released the movie tie-in for the third film the following year, the dud Dark of the Moon. Fortunately for fans of the franchise, Fall of Cybertron, a direct sequel to War for Cybertron, sees the studio coming back stronger than ever with an explosive send-off that sees the Transformers leaving their home world in a high-octane escape that is sure to please fans and non-fans alike.
While previous Transformers titles have focused on the war between the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth, it has only been recently that their original conflict has come into focus. War for Cybertron found the embittered factions already weakened after eons of warfare, and Fall of Cybertron finds them nearing the end—of everything. The fight is no longer about holding the line but simply trying to escape the overrun trenches. The Autobots are on the ropes; their cities have been destroyed, their energon reserves are nearly depleted, and their forces decimated by a warlike, tireless foe. As they make their way to a tear in space that will see them to the relative safety of a new galaxy, they are set upon once again by Megatron. As the Decepticons launch a ferocious assault on the Autobot's carrier, the game quickly jumps back in time to follow the previous six days and allow you to take part in the events that end with this mass exodus, the one that will see Cybertron abandoned for a new destination, rich in minerals and untouched by the eons-long conflict: Earth.
At this point in the war, there isn't much left for either side to fight over. With Cybertron now a charred wasteland, both sides now gather as much life-giving energon as they can for an uncertain future. But when the chance comes for the Autobots to make an escape to a new home, they take it. Megatron and his Decepticons aren't far behind, but his goal isn't to make a getaway, as he is content to rule a dying world, but only to stop the Autobots from leaving—because that's what the Decepticons do.
It's best to view their objectives as long term versus short term, with Optimus Prime looking to continue their race and Megatron wanting nothing less than absolute power. When you hate anything and everything, short term will do. But for the Autobots, they are in a race against time to gather as much energon as possible to initiate the launch of a massive transport ship christened the Ark. The Ark is bound for a portal that is starting to deteriorate, and if they cannot make it before the portal vanishes, then all hope will be lost. In short: it's time to get out of Dodge.
Slingshotting back in time allows you to witness the liftoff of and final assault on the Ark. Broken down into chapters, Fall of Cybertron continues its predecessors' practice of swapping viewpoints so that you can experience the war from both sides. After each side gets a few chapters to get the ball rolling, the game increases begins to switch between the factions faster and faster to match the frantic last moments, ping-ponging you from Autobot to Decepticon and back within a matter of minutes. At the game's finale, you are given the choice of which side to fight for. The setup is not only a nice homage to the cartoon's structure, but it's also especially effective at highlighting the tug-of-war struggle between those fighting to break away and those fighting to hold on.
In-between all of this back-and-forth is a series of set-piece battles that will make anyone with a love of gun-toting automatons smile. Whereas previous Transformer titles played up the size of the robots by having them tower over men and climb up buildings on Earth, Fall of Cybertron embraces scale like never before and goes all out with some absolutely massive characters. The huge Metroplex is a prime example: a lumbering behemoth who looks down on Cybertron's spiraling towers and over innumerable Decepticons on his way to help Optimus Prime, he is a screen-filling monster. The encounters are also bigger, and now feel much more as though they are part of a larger conflict. The way High Moon Studios cranked up the scale of the set-piece battles is reminiscent of Infinity Ward's approach to Modern Warfare 3: the more over the top, the better. And when you're dealing with huge transforming robots, over the top is exactly the right direction.
The grandiose scenarios also help to offset the fact that the Transformers, being the giant metal creatures that they are, have a somewhat limited range of motion. Despite being a third-person shooter, there are no cover or other more involved mechanics at play as in so many other action shooters on the market. Save for being able to transform into their alt modes, which tend to be most useful in sequences specifically designed for their use, the limited agility offered by the directional dash and ability to wield two firearms (normal and heavy) means that your best bet is to stay in robot form to maximize your firepower. To add more variety, an upgrade system allows for each weapons' components to be upgraded by trading in stored energon at Teletraan 1 stations. These upgrades, along with permanent bot perks and one-time-use items (drop shields, powered-up projectiles, etc.), are also graded by the community, with players rating all items based on usefulness to help with purchasing decisions; though, there's more than enough energon to go around for all of the permanent upgrades and several modified weapons. So while the Transformers themselves might not have much to offer in terms of physical prowess or tactical possibilities, the combination of dashes, alt modes, a varied upgradeable arsenal, and impressive set pieces fit nicely with the solid run-and-gun action.
The downside to the campaign is that it is short. Very short. Even a bit of filler in the last act couldn't pad the game out beyond eight hours. While there's no in-game counter, I would venture to say that my game only lasted between six to seven hours. The difficulty is also on the light side, with Normal feeing more like Easy, despite the bots themselves being fairly weak, which isn't a serious mark as it keeps the action fast, but it's definitely noticeable. I also encountered two bugs that forced me to resort to an earlier checkpoint. Fortunately, checkpoints are plentiful and largely well placed, saving me from heavy backtracking after Starscream got stuck on a pipe after transforming in a tunnel and a trigger failing to activate after Swoop flew beyond what was necessary and into—and through—a giant tower. The checkpoints largely relegate these to nothing more than minor nuisances, but they, especially the later, could be confusing for younger players who will undoubtedly get their hands on the game despite the Teen rating. To end on a more positive note, because the campaign really is a fun ride, the voice-over performances are spot-on and the writing is actually really good, with Starcream eliciting more than a few chuckles. There's also a nice Easter Egg of what appears to be one bots doing the Carlton Dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I'm not sure why it's there, but it's definitely worth seeking out (another Transformer performs it in the credits, in case you miss it during the campaign).
After seeing the Transformers off to their new home, it's time to jump online for Multiplayer and Escalation. Multiplayer hosts the more traditional modes, including Capture the Flag, Conquest (capture and hold territories), Head Hunter (gather enemies' dropped sparks), and Team Deathmatch. These are all similar to previous Transformer titles, with five base classes—Destroyer, Infiltrator, Scientist, and Titan—each with their own unique skills, such as dropping barriers and healing allies, and leveling up when enough experience is accumulated from killing, meeting objectives, and completing challenges. As in the Call of Duty titles, challenges are tasks that tend to be accomplished naturally during play (e.g., kill so many enemies, travel so far in alt form, etc.) that serve to give surprise experience boosts for faster leveling and a bit of excitement. Credits earned during play can also be used to customize a Transformer, with the base model having its armaments and gear unlocked and upgraded as they level, including two additional slots to allow for a total of three different versions of each class, but appendages and body altered by points purchased. The head, shoulder, body, arms, and legs, as well as decals, can be swapped from a list of in-game unlockable as well as DLC items. The model can even be given a specific name, to help differentiate it from others in the same class.
Escalation is a survival mode in which you and three others, each picking one specific class type, face off against 15 waves of increasingly difficult enemies. As waves are bested and enemies felled, the energon gained is used to purchase more ammo, different weapons, the use of automatic defensive turrets, and to unlock new areas. But as in the single-player campaign, I did encounter a strange bug. After I transformed into the alt mode, my Transformer fell into the floor and was stuck driving around inside the geometry, unable to transform back into robot form. I was eventually saved after blowing myself up and having a teammate revive me. There were still some glitches after that, though, and things didn't sort themselves out until after a respawn. In regards to the maps, while they can't fully accommodate all alt modes, I did find that they could still be of great benefit when the alt modes were used appropriately; granted, some out there might just want to let it rip on the accelerator, but that's often out of the question. Similarly, there is a lot to like, and there is a bit of skill involved in balancing out the weapons, the damage radius (splash or focused), directional dash, and alt modes.
The multiplayer component as a whole doesn't have as dramatic an impact on replayability as in a Gears of War, but it does extend the game's longevity by several hours.
Overall: 8/10
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a little rough around the edges, but it's also a bang-up action title with a lot of great set pieces and some fantastic voice-over work. The short length, even when taking multiplayer into account, isn't helped by the graphical glitches that cropped up in the story and when playing online. While the technical problems might be patched away, diehard fans will find themselves itching for more after they've burned through the storyline and much of what online play has to offer in a weekend. Still, it's a great ride while it lasts.

Christie seriously considering presidential bid after GOP prodding

Keys of leadership
Excerpted from Gov. Chris Christie's speech at the Reagan Library on Tuesday.
My favorite Reagan story happened 30 years ago, in August 1981. The air-traffic controllers, in violation of their contracts, went on strike. President Reagan ordered them back to work, making clear that those who refused would be fired. In the end, thousands refused, and thousands were fired.

Will Christie run for Prez? America could do worse
The Issue: Whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie should join the 2012 presidential race.
***Thanks for writing the editorial "Run, Chris, Run?" (Sept. 26).
I'm a conservative Republican and totally agree that the current field of candidates for the GOP presidential nomination is not very exciting.
I hope The Post's editorial and urging by others, particularly from GOP bigwigs, will cause New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to seriously reconsider his previous position about running.

High times at the top end
Who knew? Sure, we're all aware that the third quarter brought us Hurricane Irene and an earthquake beneath our feet, as well as a still-mounting number of temblors of greater magnitude in global financial markets. But the news reported in The Wall Street Journal, that the quarter also brought the highest number of closed sales of super-lux apartments—$4 million and up—since the second quarter of 2008 comes as a bit of a shocker.
Pending-home sales plummet in the Northeast
Contracts to purchase previously owned homes fell 1.2% nationwide in August from a month early, and 5.8% in the Northeast, according to the National Association of Realtors, which blamed Hurricane Irene for the region's drop.

What You Need to Know
The New Class of Shift Candidate
The Monday Takeaway
Whether the man at the plate is a slugger or a utility man, if his spray chart shows a clear tendency on ground balls, he's likely to see Girardi's infielders move to reflect it. New York Post columnist Joel Sherman was startled by the Yankees' alignment against Ryan Flaherty—a left-handed hitter with good pop for a middle infielder but a fringy hit tool—who entered Monday's Bronx opener with a career strikeout rate close to 25 percent.
But Flaherty's ground-ball distribution is incredibly stark. In 457 plate appearances coming into yesterday's game, he had hit one ground ball to the area defended solely by the third baseman. The best part: Having their third baseman, Miguel Cabrera, in position didn't help the Tigers on that one ball, an infield single on June 19, 2013. And the only other Flaherty grounder that a big-league third baseman has fielded was hit in the vicinity of the shortstop on June 23, 2013.
As defensive shifts continue to permeate the majors, it will become increasingly apparent that teams aren't utilizing them to discourage power hitters from pulling the ball. Their primary goal is to maximize defensive efficiency. And apart from a handful of popups to the left side, having the third baseman anywhere close to the line has proven useless to this point in Flaherty's major-league career.
Quick Hits from Monday
With one out and nobody on in the top of the third inning of the Athletics-Twins game yesterday, Jed Lowrie stepped in and took a fastball for a ball and a curveball for strike. He swung at and fouled off each of the next two pitches, then took a slider for a ball and a changeup for a ball.
Lowrie trotted down the line to first. Josh Donaldson made his way to the batter's box. The Target Field public address announcer played along, naming Donaldson as the next batter. Finally, home-plate umpire Bill Miller realized that Lowrie was this close to pulling a fast one and brought him back to continue the plate appearance.
The A's shortstop almost got the last laugh. He smacked the next pitch near the foul line in right field; if it was fair, it was gone. The umpires ruled it foul—but they weren't sure, so when manager Bob Melvin went out to check, they decided it was worth another look.
That look took a while. Eventually, the umpires at the replay control center determined that the call should stand. Lowrie made his second return trip from first base to the plate, this time with the count full.
He took the next pitch for a ball and, for the third time in the plate appearance, jogged to first base. It was as though the five minutes between ball three and ball four had never happened.
Trivia time: One week into the regular season, all but one major leaguer who had received at least 20 plate appearances had made his way on base via hit, walk, or beaning. Who was the lone regular with a .000 on-base percentage when his team's game began yesterday?
To bump the answer down the page a bit, here's a short paragraph of hints. This player's former manager routinely caught flak for batting him second, where his long-standing OBP woes prevented his club's best hitters from coming to bat with runners to drive home. A product of Ole Miss, he was selected in the second round of the 2007 draft and collected at least one hit in each of his first seven big-league games.
The answer: Zack Cozart, whose schneid reached 0-for-22 before he singled against Trevor Rosenthal with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth. Cozart's knock drove in Jay Bruce and brought the go-ahead run to the plate with nobody out, but Rosenthal was able to bear down and preserve the lead handed to him by Michael Wacha and the Cardinals offense.
Wacha, who took the baseball world by storm with an excellent rookie year that carried into a duel with 21 innings of one-run work during the Cardinals' run to the senior-circuit pennant, has picked up where he left off in 2013. The 22-year-old limited the Reds to one earned run over 12 1/3 frames in his first two starts, fanning 10 and walking two.
Josh Hamilton and three-walk games just don't go together. The last time he had one, the opposing starter was Jarrod Washburn—who, you might remember, retired after the 2009 season.
The last time until yesterday, that is.
Hamilton needed help to add a fourth three-free-pass contest to his résumé. Brad Peacock walked him intentionally with runners at second and third and one out in the seventh. But when you only have two of them in 894 career games sans assistance from the opposing manager, you'll take one however you can get it.
Those three bases on balls doubled Hamilton's total for the year to six. He didn't work his sixth walk of the 2013 season until April 30, by which point he had 26 games and 32 strikeouts on his line.
That's good news for the Angels—and Hamilton's .500/.600/.833 triple-slash line in the early going is even better. He's been worth almost a win above replacement just seven games into the year. The road to October is littered with potholes, but the 32-year-old has done about as well as the Angels could have hoped for so far.

Just 2 questions. Does the shiftiness of a manager change the apparent range factor of an infielder? How would you adjust for this?
Apr 08, 2014 10:20 AM
It's funny that you mention that, because the Yankees' color guy, David Cone, mentioned that on the broadcast yesterday. I'd imagine the adjustment will become easier to make if/when FIELDf/x data become available.

Induz, a Fremont charity organization that has been providing arts and culture education to underprivileged children at low-income schools, is commemorating 10 years in 2014.
A special ceremony was organized Feb. 21 to honor the volunteers who have contributed in various capacities enabling the growth of the organization. In attendance were Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett, Ro Khanna, former assistant deputy secretary in the Obama administration, and Anu Natarajan, vice mayor of Fremont and an advisory board member of Induz.
On behalf of the State Senate, Sen. Corbett presented Ray and Piya Mitra, the founders of Induz, with a 10-year anniversary recognition. Natarajan presented a proclamation on behalf of the City of Fremont.
Contributions of Induz volunteers were recognized in three main areas: Presidential Volunteer Service Award, Art Angel Award for outstanding support, and Volunteer of the Year 2013 Award.
The President's Volunteer Service awards were presented to six youth involved in a youth ambassador leadership development program, with a focus on furthering the cause of Induz.
The award consists of a certificate, a letter from President Obama and a lapel pin. Youth recipients were Rhea Mitra and Rutu Samai, who received the gold level award for completing more than 100 hours. Sohil Chavan, Kriti Jain and Simran Birla received the bronze level awards for 50 hours.
In the adult category, Ray Mitra and Piya Mitra received the gold level award for volunteers with more than 500 hours in 2013. Ken Morris, Anupam Parganiah and Lailani Africa received the bronze awards.
The Presidential Award winners also got recognition certificates from the California Senate.
"These recipients of the President's Volunteer Service Award are role models for all Americans," President Barack Obama wrote. "Each volunteer hour contributed makes a difference in improving the quality of life for others, and I encourage everyone to contribute to our community by volunteering. Volunteers bring us closer together as families, as communities and as a nation, through their commitment."

Not really, but I bet I have your attention now. And while the above is a bit exaggerated, it isn't far from the truth.
I always try to be open minded, and expect the same from others. I will happily agree to disagree. I am calm in the most diffiult situations, and pragmatic to a fault. Feel free to ask me anything- I am not easily offended and try to be an open book. I am looking to find a better long term career out there, though I have no idea what.
If you read into the whole "16 personality types thing, I am an INTJ, according to the tests. Which is apparently rare and terrible at emotional engagement. Go figure.
On the other hand, I can sit through most anything if the company is right. That always seems to matter more than what's on the screen.

Come enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea along the Riviera Maya in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The Mayan Horizon Resort is located on the first floor of one of the prettiest and well designed ocean front buildings in Puerto Aventuras. The ocean has colors of blue and purple you won't see anywhere else in the world. Enjoy the spectacular sun rises from this fantastic condo. Mayan Horizon Resort is located one hour south of Cancun International Airport by car or taxi, via multi-lane highway. It is located in the gated community of Puerto Aventuras, State of Quintana Roo, in the centre of the Riviera Maya.
Puerto Aventuras, is a unique jewel of the Riviera Maya. It is a thriving international community, with a harbor, a marina, and beaches, and yet it provides privacy and exclusivity. Throughout the community you will find people of all ages, walking, running, riding bikes, driving golf carts, or in their cars. Those who can afford to live anywhere, choose to live in Puerto Aventuras with their families, because of its natural beauty, amenities, tranquility and safety.
Mayan Horizon Resort is a perfect vacation choice. The 1900 square foot condo with marble floors throughout, is decorated in a sleek, yet comfortable modern style with a fabulous open floor plan. The condo has central air and ceiling fans in all rooms. The full service kitchen has all the amenities you'll want including a breakfast bar, with four high backed chairs. The kitchen and beautiful living/dining room has a panoramic view of the ocean, with huge glass sliding doors you can open completely to your patio and the ocean. You are immersed in the outdoor beauty while lounging comfortably in your living space.
Mayan Horizon Resort offers 2 bedrooms. Each bedroom has a private bath, the master has a stand alone shower and the 2nd bedroom has a combo bath/shower. Hairdryers in both ensuite bathrooms and bath robes are provided for convenience. Both bedrooms have sliding glass doors opening onto a patio overlooking the pond with trickling water fountains. A flat panel television with Shaw Direct Satellite Cable and air conditioning units with independent controls are in each bedroom. The master bedroom has 1 California King bed and the 2nd bedroom has 2 double beds. Both bedrooms are furnished with high-end pillow top mattresses and extra pillows. In the master bedroom their is a large walk in closet with a safe for valuables.
In addition, there is a half bath near the main entrance.
A laundry closet is located just off the kitchen with a full size front loading washer and dryer. An ironing board and iron are found in the master bedroom closet.
From your patio you are only steps away from the pool, hot tub and fresh salt water pools. Enjoy sitting on your patio and using the Weber BBQ to grill fresh fish purchased at the nearby marina, or sipping iced drinks, while listening to the waves of the Caribbean Sea.
For the times when you are not gazing at the amazing view, there is a wide screen television and DVD player. You can bring your own favorites or rent them in the village. Bring your laptop and stay in touch with High-Speed Wireless Internet. An I-pod dock allows you to bring your favorite tunes to enjoy while in paradise.
This condo has style, comfort and warmth.
A 10 minute walk to the marina village you will find shops, services and many fine, reasonable priced restaurants. Swim with the dolphins in the marina (or watch the action while sipping a margarita at one of the outdoor cafes). Check out the dive and snorkel shops-arrange a lesson if you wish. You will also enjoy the art and gift shops. You can play at the Puerto Aventuras golf course, and the kids will love the skateboard park.
Pamper yourself at the Alegria Spa located only a 5 minute walk toward the marina village. If the spin bike at the condo is not enough for you, you may choose to work out at their fully equipped gym.
Major attractions of the Riviera Maya are only minutes away by car or taxi, including Xel-Ha ('shell'hah'), where the underground rivers flow into the sea, the splendors of the cenote caves of Aktun Chen, and Xcaret. Xcaret ('ish-ka'ret')is a huge ecopark that is as much fun as Disneyland or any major theme park, but it is also far more interesting and educational. It truly lives up to its reputation of being the premier attraction in the entire coastal area. It is a delight for all ages!
Visit Mayan pyramids and archeological sites of major significance. Tulum is only a 30 minute drive away, and tours are available for nearby Chichen-Itza, Coba, and other sites in the Yucatan. Swim with the turtles a 10 minute drive South in the bay at Akumal.
The city of Playa del Carmen, about 20 minutes by car, taxi or bus, has shops, art galleries and night life along the famous 'Fifth Avenue'. It is where the ferries depart for the island of Cozumel. Playa del Carmen also offers major shopping such as Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Liverpool and Centro Maya shopping mall.
When you are at home in the Mayan Horizon Resort you can take advantage of concierge services upon request that include: delivery directly to your fridge and cupboards of beer, fine wine and groceries; shopping and meal preparation(private chef); massages; housekeeping; taxi; golf cart rental; rental car; tours; and recreation at surprisingly reasonable prices.
If you have been looking for a unique and relaxing, get away from it all vacation experience, then Mayan Horizon Resort is for you. This is a private, high end, exclusive piece of paradise.
My name is Angie and I reside in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I have travelled to many areas of Mexico but fell in love with the village of Puerto Aventuras when I was vacationing there with my family for Christmas/New Year's 2010/11. The rest as they say is history.
Angie purchased this condo in 2011
I love Puerto Aventuras because it is a gated community offering safety and exclusive access. It is centrally located on the Mayan Riviera. Puerto Aventuras itself has a quiet, laid back lifestyle centering around the marina, but if you choose to seek more thrills then it is easy and close enough to travel to Playa del Carmen or Cancun to get your fill of adventure for the day or night.
I appreciate the obvious care and attention that the developer put into Punta Roca Condominiums, and continues to provide for the owners. The homeowner's and developer's diligence to ongoing maintenance and quality to this building and grounds is unsurpassed in this area. The entire condominium complex is made up of only 26 units which provides an intimate setting and one that is more condusive to rest and relaxation. Only a handful of units are rentals, the others are owner used and occupied, which lends to the high end, private and exclusive vacation not many other rentals offer. The first floor setting is my favorite as I get to enjoy both the gardens and the ocean and the first floor allows me easy access to the pools/spa and outdoor lounge areas.
My family of four stayed at this amazing condo for a week and had a wonderful stay. The condo itself is beautifully furnished and comfortable, and had everything we needed and more. The location of the condo is perfect for more than one reason. First, it is located on the ocean front, providing AMAZING views and it's also just steps away from the hot tub and pool. The landscaping around the property is beautiful, too. Secondly, Puerto Aventuras is centrally located near many wonderful towns (Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, Akumal), presenting many opportunities for adventures. It was definitely one of the best vacations we have had, and are looking forward to doing it again! I also want to note, that during our stay, the TV in the master bedroom quit and was replaced quickly. Also, any questions we had were quickly answered by the property management crew. It was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Mayan Horizon.
WOW! First impressions? First class! We spent the summer in this modern, clean, comfortable condo. It was furnished nicely and had a well equipped kitchen with a gorgeous ocean view! We especially enjoyed the privacy and swimming in the salt water natural pools. Angie was great to work with and took care of every detail. Truly a vacation in Paradise! Thank you.
Myself, husband and our 2 good friends stayed here for 7 nights! We wanted to stay longer. The view is breathtaking and the convenience to walk out to the pool made it so easy to enjoy our patio and than slip into the pool! No need to pack up your things to spend the day at the pool. We cooked in often including using the bbq but he nights we wanted to head into the marina to have dinner out it was easy to do.
Kitchen was well appointed, wasn`t one thing we felt was lacking.
The internet connection worked great so got us thinking you could even work from the condo if you were there for an extended stay!
We didn't rent a car and never felt that was a problem at all as we enjoyed the walks around PA, it was our daily exercise.
We definitely hope to return. thanks!
We would like to thank you for being able to spend time in your beautiful condo.
We loved the location being on ocean front with the nice breeze .
Your condo is nicely equipped as I love to cook , and was nicely decorated.
Staying there has you within walking distance to restaurants and fun.
We enjoyed so much , we plan to return next year , thanks again for an amazing holiday and sharing your place with us.
We stayed here for 10 days and enjoyed the breathtaking view! Everything was picture perfect, i have to say the view was incredible. The condo was comfortable and private, and tastefully decorated. We sunbathed and barbecued on the deck, also swam in the crystal clear lagoon. Our rooms were extremely clean and had everything we needed, truly felt like home. The pool and hot tub is a couple feet away from the deck, perfect place to have a couple of drinks! i definitely recommend staying here if you are planning a visit to Playa. My boyfriend and i will be back again next year.
Stayed here for ten days last year, I absolutely loved it. It was so peaceful. Walks out to the outdoor hot tub and hammocks. The unit itself is immaculate, new, very spacious and the owner is amazing! No issues booking at all. Ten minute walk to the local pubs/restaurants and Dolphin habitat. If you are looking for a quiet romantic place away, it doesn't get any better!!

Deer-vehicle collisions common in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's traditional two-week deer season has ended, but more deer still will die this winter.
Unfortunately, more than a few of those will go to waste after being killed by cars and trucks.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there are an estimated 1 1/2 million deer-vehicle collisions each year in the United States. There are about 32 million whitetails in the country, which suggests one of every 21 deer will be involved in a collision.
There are serious costs associated with that. Beyond the loss of the deer, the crashes are responsible for an estimated 200 human fatalities, 29,000 injuries and more than $1.1 billion in property damage each year, according to Utah State University researchers.
Deer-vehicle collisions are a problem across the country, but they're particularly common in Pennsylvania.
Neither the Pennsylvania Game Commission nor any other state agency compiles a comprehensive list of deer-vehicle collisions for the commonwealth. State Farm Insurance Co. does monitor the number of deer-vehicle collisions on a state-by-state basis, however, using insurance claim reports.
"This data may or may not be completely accurate for a given state, but it is the best data available to track annual deer-vehicle collisions within a state and compare collisions among states," said Kip Adams, director of education and outreach in the northern region for the Quality Deer Management Association.
Some of State Farm's numbers really stand out:
Pennsylvania has led the nation in deer-vehicle collisions for four of the past five years by averaging about 99,000 per year. Michigan led the nation once and has been second four of the past five years by averaging about 93,000 deer-vehicle collisions annually.
No other state averages even half as many deer-vehicle collisions as Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Pennsylvania leads the nation in the average number of deer-vehicle collisions per mile of road, with motorists here hitting one deer for every 1.22 miles of public road. Maryland ranks second with one deer hit for every 1.23 miles of road.
West Virginia leads this list with a deer-vehicle collision for every 57 vehicle registrations. West Virginia drivers are 5,000 times more likely to hit a deer than get struck by lightning during the next 12 months. Pennsylvania ranks fourth in the country with one deer-vehicle collision for every 100 vehicle registrations.
Strange deer
An unusual deer was creating quite a stir prior to the just-ended firearms deer season.
A nine-point piebald buck -- colored brown and white, like a pinto horse -- was seen running around state game lands 108 in Cambria County before the season opened.
Pennsylvania Game Commission wildlife conservation officer Larry Olsavsky was among those who saw it several times, and he even managed to get photos of it.
There's been no word on whether anyone got the deer.
Triple trophy
When Gary Balog of Norvelt shot a 130-pound bear during the state's two-day archery hunt, it put the topper on what was a special hunting season.
Earlier, during the archery deer season, Balog had killed a five-point buck in Westmoreland County. He also bagged a turkey in Indiana County.
That was the sixth time Balog has recorded such a triple crown in one year.
Lake drawdown
Raccoon Lake, the centerpiece of Raccoon Creek State Park in Beaver County, is being drawn down 4 to 6 feet for maintenance purposes.
That work should be completed by mid-January, if not sooner, park officials said. The lake isn't scheduled to be stocked with trout again until Feb. 22, so the work isn't expected to cause any problems in that way.

A rhythm beats nearly constantly throughout Black Orpheus, Marcel Camus' 1959 arthouse hit. In this retelling of the Orpheus myth, the beat draws its characters along a cycle of life and death as it repeats a story with timeless resonance situated in a particular time and place. That place, unfamiliar to much of the world before Black Orpheus, is Rio de Janeiro at the height of Carnival, specifically the favelas resting high above the hills and looking down on the modern steel city below. It's home to Breno Mello—the film's modern Orpheus—an easygoing, guitar-strumming cable-car operator with a reputation as a ladies' man. Nonetheless, he's on the verge of marrying his assertive fiancée Mira (Lourdes de Oliveira). But the arrival of a woman named Eurydice (the stunning Marpessa Dawn) disrupts those wedding plans, even while a Carnival-goer costumed as Death himself threatens the modern-day Orpheus and Eurydice's fated-to-be love.
In his essay accompanying this new edition of the film, critic Michael Atkinson refers to Camus as a "one-hit wonder." He means that descriptively, not disparagingly. Camus' other films remain largely un-discussed—and good luck finding them—but Black Orpheus stands on its own as a brilliant one-off. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá supply the bossa nova that the film helped introduce to the rest of the globe. Rio supplies the scenery. Between them, Camus places a pulsing parade of abundant humanity enacting a pageant suspended somewhere between reality and myth.
The movie itself hangs somewhere between fantasy and mid-century verisimilitude, using the vibrant Rio slums as a counterpoint to the long shadows cast by its modern buildings, and presenting a back-alley Umbanda shrine with an eerie reverence that contrasts with the uncaring emptiness of the halls of bureaucracy. Camus, a Frenchman, undeniably engages in some idealized cultural tourism, as Brazilian cinema expert Robert Stam observes in a special feature that throws a little cold water on what's come before. He isn't wrong, but it's easy to forget such problems with a film so intoxicating from the first frame to the last. And dwelling on such issues means watching the margins while the focus remains on what's eternal and universal in the human experience. The Orpheus myth moves from beauty to desolation before, here at least, circling back with the reliability of the dawn. Camus gets it right, presenting a song- and sun-drenched vision of life so beautiful that death seems unthinkable. And then it inevitably arrives, leaving behind old stories, and new voices to sing about them.
Key features: Assorted interviews, old and new, with those involved with the film and those touched by it. Also Looking For "Black Orpheus," a feature-length 2005 documentary revisiting the film's origins and impact.

Sep 11, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterGriffin monument unveiled in Riverton
Veterans, active service members, school children, government officials and residents gathered under a somber sky Wednesday to commemorate a fallen soldier. Roughly 250 people joined the family of Command Sgt. Major Kevin Griffin in Riverton Veterans Park to dedicate a memorial to the local hero.
Griffin, a Riverton native and a 1985 Riverton High School graduate, was killed in action Aug. 8, 2012, in Afghanistan.
"In this place, Kevin will be remembered in Riverton," Gov. Matt Mead said at the dedication. "The word thanks we know is not enough."
As words do not suffice, he suggested those gathered could show their appreciation in how they live.
"To lead our lives, and to do it in a way that this county we love and so many sacrificed for, continues to be the greatest country on Earth," he said.
Griffin was a 24-year U.S. Army veteran who enlisted shortly after graduating from Riverton High School, where he was a state-champion wrestler for the Wolverines.
He married Pamela Barton in 1987 and left behind two children, Dan, 22, and Kylie, 15.
Mayor Ron Warpness said Griffin was a testament to the kind of character the Riverton community could produce.
"Each of us played a small part in shaping Kevin," Warpness said. "But collectively all of Riverton was a significant part in making Kevin the man we are honoring today."
After the speakers, two soldiers unveiled the monument to Griffin: a battle cross cast in bronze on top on of a stone plinth. The statue features a rifle point-down in a pair of combat boots with an Army helmet resting on the butt.
A plaque displaying a photo of Griffin and telling his story stands next to the statue.
At the end of the ceremony, Griffin's family and many others lined up to lay a bouquet of flowers and spend a quiet moment in front of the monument.

Galaxy Gear 2 smart watch to be a complete redesign, announcement pegged for March
Korean media is confirming previous Bloomberg reports that Samsung's second edition of the Galaxy Gear smart watch will be greatly improved compared to the first, especially in terms of design.
Samsung has apparently redrawn all the parts in the watch that look conformist and boring, and will be outfitting the thinner Galaxy Gear 2 with a flexible OLED display of an yet-unknown diagonal size. Hopefully besides the thorough exterior renovation we will also see improved software and pairing, as well as better battery life, too.
The new Galaxy Gear smart watch is expected to be unveiled in March with April availability, says the publication, which might mean it will be announced together with the Galaxy S5 flagship. Rumor is that it will also sport health monitoring functions, to battle the abundance of wearables released this year at CES, but also the speculated iWatch from Apple.

If this follows Samsung's phone and tablet philosophy, it will have a bigger screen and more cores.

No surprise. Samsung is going to just keep coming until they get it right.

WASHINGTON (Aug. 31)
Rep, James Roosevelt, whose appointment as new United States Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council was confirmed today by the Senate Judiciary Committee, proposed in a speech in the House of Representatives today a United Nations plan to resolve Arab-Israel water differences. He also urged that Israel demonstrate a "stronger initiative" to settle claims of the Palestine Arab refugees.
It was believed that his address would be the last on Near East issues, with which he had dealt often in the House, before he assumes his new duties at the United Nations.
Rep. Roosevelt, California Democrat, cautioned that the Arab-Israel water dispute could lead to war, and urged nuclear desalination, "using Israel as a model project." He said "The United Nations has an opportunity here to work for a regional water planning system for this area, for which the U.N. should assume definite responsibility." Such a pilot project, he said, could advance nuclear desalination and, meanwhile, also provide "the basis for exploring the potential for a regional approach to the other basic issues dividing Israel and the Arab countries."
Turning to the Arab refugee problem, Mr. Roosevelt told the House that "a real effort to help the refugees would improve Israel's image. Both sides must cease being totally negative." He stated: "Israel herself has collected substantial reparation for German injuries to Jewish people, and should take a stronger initiative to receive and settle just claims of Arab refugees."
Rep. Roosevelt added that Arab states rejected projects designed to integrate Arabs into the economic life of the Near East for "political reasons." He asserted that the United States must now work to phase out the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East by "resettlement of the refugees and by providing work opportunities for them through establishment of an international committee, with the U.N. supervising the gradual transfer of UNRWA activities to the Arab governments."
Commenting on President Nasser of Egypt, Mr. Roosevelt said that, although Nasser has not been "a popular figure among serious practitioners of Middle East diplomacy, he is a key factor in the achievement of United States objectives in the region: Peace, stability, economic development, and the absence of Communist penetration." "By working with the Egyptian leader," he said, "we have been able to obtain a modicum of positive results for the United States in the Middle East."
He added that the arguments for continuation of emphasis on Egypt have become less persuasive because "there are few signs of real progress" and "peace is precarious. The danger of Communist penetration is no less acute. The major obstacle to progress has been, and remains, a fixed focus on Egypt, rather than on the entire region." He noted that U.S. aid "released Egyptian funds for direct military expenditures" and that "since 1956, Russia has been providing Egypt with about $65,000,000 a year in modern arms."
Citing American obligations under the Tripartite Declaration of 1950, Rep. Roosevelt said the cost and danger of implementation "is directly proportional to the size and sophistication of Egypt's arsenal, as Egypt grows militarily stronger, and more adventurous."
Mr. Roosevelt emphasized that the views he voiced today "are not necessarily the views of my country as determined by the President and the State Department and, therefore, can not be binding upon me in the new duties which I shall assume." However, he said, the views in his speech here today reflected his "sincere convictions" in hopes of "a real peace in the Near East." He also expressed hope that, in his new assignment at the United Nations, he could be the friend of both Arabs and Israelis. He said he found it a source of concern that, after 17 years, "we have been unable to bring the Arabs and Israelis to the peace table."
A response to Rep. Roosevelt was made on the House floor by Rep. Seymour Halpern, New York Republican, who said that, while he considered Mr. Roosevelt "a fine choice for the U.S. delegation to the U.N.," he "could not agree with some of the comments about Israel made today."
Rep. Halpern took particular exception to Mr. Roosevelt's comment linking German reparations to Jews with his call for greater response by Israel to Arab refugee claims. He said that "to equate the gas ovens of Auschwitz and the brutal genocide by the Nazis against 6,000,000 Jews with the Arab refugee situation, which resulted from the Arab aggression against Israel, is a disservice to history." "I am confident," he declared, "that Mr. Roosevelt, upon further reflection, will quickly recognize the justice of my remarks because of his distinguished record as a humanitarian."
"Also," said Rep. Halpern, "the water problem will not be solved by introduction of new U.N. complications, allowing the Arabs a voice in Israel's domestic water needs and looking for an escape from current Arab diversion threats by referring Israel to eventual hopes for nuclear desalination. It would be better to urge the U.S. delegation to the U.N. to issue a clear statement denouncing the Arab diversion tactics as an aggression which threatens the peace."

LUDWIGSBURG, GERMANY - DECEMBER 05: Marco Huck of Germany and his team waits for the walk in for his WBO World Championship Cruiserweight titel fight against Ola Afolabi of Great Britain at the Arena Ludwigsburg on December 5, 2009 in Ludwigsburg, Germany. (Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Bongarts/Getty Images)
Fans of all-action fights can look forward to another highlight this fall. On November 3, WBO Cruiserweight Champion Marco Huck is going to defend his beloved title against "fighting machine" Firat Arslan. The venue for this world championship bout will be the Gerry-Weber-Stadium in Halle/Westphalia, Germany. Huck will be going for his 10th title defense. Credit: Photo Wende For Huck, it will be a return to the place of his biggest victory. Exactly three years ago, the now 27-year-old fighter dethroned then WBO titlist Victor Emilio Ramirez from Argentina and became a world champion himself. Since then, the cruiserweight, who was raised in Bielefeld, Germany has defended his championship nine times. Huck wants Arslan to be number ten on that list. A win would also be special, as the World Boxing Organization would crown Huck their Super-Champion at cruiserweight. "That is an extra motivation", said Huck. "I would be the first fighter in our Team to receive that honor. I will not ...

I started leatherworking a few weeks ago with the intention of learning how to make my own saddlebags for my bike. I bought a starter kit from Tandy Leather, took an introductory to carving class and haven't stopped! I've made a few wallets, a few wristbands and have begun my quest for saddlebags.
Started with a side of veg tan leather...
I cut the inside and outside panels of the bag using posterboard as a template. I'd rather mess up a $.30 piece of posterboard vs. $100 worth of leather.
tooled my floral pattern...
Dyed the background of the pattern on the bags and made a "cover up" for some holes that the previous owner of my bike drilled in the fender. This piece will mount under my sissy bar and cover up these gaping holes.
So here is where I stand in the project. Tomorrow I will be "antiquing" the body of the bags and hopefully cutting the flaps. After that I can start construction.

wow, man that looks rad.can't wait to see the finished bags. I got some tools and started about the same time as you but have not had much time to mess with it. next month I have to go to Texas for a class and will be living in a hotel for six weeks probably be a good time to play around with it and see what I can do.
Subscribed! I want these for my bike, lol. Inspiration for all of us. How are you making the flaps for closing the top?
@IronheadJames...I'm sure everyone has a different definition of "hard". I've never considered myself an "artist" by any means but this has come pretty naturally to me. The class at Tandy has been awesome. Like anything else, it's all about learning the fundamentals.
@tommygun - I'm going to make the flaps like a "messenger" bag. I'm also making a "cup" on the high side of the bags to keep some water out while riding. I will be dying them to match my seat and using brass hardware.
I am just worried without a template or something I'd ruin leather. I can barely draw stick figures, and nice decoration like you've shown would be damn hard to do.
I been wanting to do some leather work, this looks awesome
As someone who does some leatherwork myself, I am impressed. That is a lot of detailed carving and tooling, and perhaps even more impressive is the amount of background dying you have done on it. Nice work.
I am keen to see how this progresses, as I am thinking of doing a small saddlebag and spare fuel holder for my own bike (it is one thing I have never actually done yet).
your looking like a leather virtuoso !
amazing work especially for your first attempt
cant wait to see the finished product keep us posted
Makes me want to give it a try. Just looked at tandy, closest store is 3 hrs away.....Im subscribed, interested in the finished product!
Thanks for the kind words. I've learned a ton during this process and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I underestimated how much TIME this kind of work takes. I'm sure it's because I'm a beginner but I'm now understanding why the Pros charge so much $$$ for this kind of work. I'm going to finish the left side bag and take a break for a little while!!!!
Here's where I stand now.
Just installed the "cover up" for my butchered fender!
Dyed the components of both bags. Boarded the gussets and used a whip stitch on the bag with Kangaroo lace. Lacing is f'ng HARD and I'm not very good at it. There are a ton of mistakes but I did it and am proud. I used an antique black vs. straight black so I could get some detail to show. Beginning the flap tonight. Wish me luck!!!!
Really sharp...
Keep us posted, this may end up in the DIY folder!
fuck yeah!!! that came out nice. I like the stitching. I was looking at one of the books I got about doing the stitching and lacing and it looks hard. Good job man!
I've wanted to try my hand at leather work for awhile now and this is just the motivation I need. You've done a very impressive job so far sir, keep it up!
Thanks again for the kind words. I added a pic of the templates I used on the opening post. It's easy to burn a piece of $.30 posterboard vs. messing up $100 worth of leather. I used the posterboard to make exact measurements for the size and width of my bag. After you get it the way you like it trace the template on the leather and get to cuttin!
I'm also going to re-lace the back of the bag. I did it late at night and had too many beers and it came out all cock-eyed. It was a mistake that will take me 3-4 hours to correct!!!!
Wow dude, coming together nicely. Stitching looks like something I'd easily lose my cool over haha. Props bro, keep it up!

My free time is most often spent playing games or watching movies with friends or reading and listening to music by myself, though I do a fair amount of cooking and cleaning.
I am looking for someone seeking a serious relationship that shares some of my interests and enjoys trying new things.
I adore Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye.
I was also called "like a great, big teddy-bear" :P
I have also been described as "an outlier on the graph of life"
I rather enjoy movies, especially the mix-genre ones. My all-time favorite is Shawshank Redemption, and my recent favorite is The Book of Eli. I love The Princess Bride, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
My musical tastes are best described as eclectic: from Imogen Heap and lacuna Coil to Muse or Motown.
Enough sleep
Food, water, shelter...why are these not on everyone's list? :P really, I would say music

Second week of burning the new DS 1500 brought some of the warmest daytime temps we've had in these parts in several years, during the heating season--after week 1 had the coldest temps we've had in several winters. Learned a lot about how this stove burns during these two weeks.
Contrary to my concerns, the DS burned right through the warm/damp days, with the thermostat turned back to 2.5 (had it just below 3 during the cold days) and MPD opened up some, to about 45*, to let more hot exhaust into the chimney and keep the stove a bit cooler so the house didn't overheat. With these settings, the coal consumption dropped from 50-60 lbs/day to 30-40. I hope this means I can keep the stove burning well during the shoulder months when the daytime temps are warmer.
One thing I've learned is that the thermostat control on the stove is super-sensitive. At 2.5, the stove was around 200* pipe/400* top of stove. At 3, it's usually 250*/525*-550*. DS says the stove shouldn't be burned over 600*.
It would be more helpful if the thermo setting ranged from, say, 2 to 4, to get that same temperature range. I think a chain adjustment might be needed on the thermostat/damper. Any suggestions?
I've tended the stove twice a day, early morning and early evening. At these intervals, the fire recovers quickly and blues return almost immediately after shaking--even on the warm, damp, low-temp days. Haven't done a shakedown yet where I saw any risk of puffback or explosion. I can see, though, how that could happen after a 24-hour shakedown. It's sure good to know that if I have to be away from early morning to late night, or even overnight, I don't have to worry about the stove burning out.
As I noted in another thread, I do have some ash buildup at the back of the firebox. It's helped somewhat by poking that area from below, but I'll have to get a longer poker to reach back there from the front door and try to break it up.
Bottom line, I'm very happy with the DS, and I feel (cautiously) confident I can keep it burning safely and effectively in my setup. Can't wait to get the next electric bill and see how much of a dent the coal burning has made vs. last month. The heat pump isn't cycling on/off nearly as much as it did when I burned the Franco--and the electric coil backup heat hasn't run at all, even on the coldest nights.
Thanks again for the help and ideas many of you have offered--I'm always ready for any additional thoughts or suggestions.
