Carmarthenshire Wales - Llywnywermod was assumed ownership by Prince Charles in 2006 after evicting rightful owners for unpaid taxes and has been undergoing renovations ever since. Yesterday Prince Charles paid tribute to the palace toadies that have made the project happen without any effort at all on his part.
"Can I first of all say what an enormous pleasure it is to be away from those clever tabloid journalists that mock my every move and expect me to say something sensible now and then, here there is no expectation of any sort. I used to snicker at Welsh village names thinking this was a haven for those who failed spelling but have found the people of Wales to be a friendly lot who put up little resistance to my overbearing and patronizing visits."
After his obligatory condescending remarks the prince commissioned a series of traditional flat weave rugs for the couple's new Welsh farmhouse at Llywnywermod. The prince and duchess then walked backwards to Aberglasney Gardens, in Llangathen, to officially open its new historic gardens.
The project is not completely finished, but the royals will nevertheless stay at their Welsh home for the first time on Monday and inaugurate it with a bout of binge drinking and sex like monkeys with interested townspeople and tradesman who worked on the project.
Mill owner James Grime was also hoping the royal orgy would give his business a boost. "It has only been known for a short while that the prince is wife-swapping with us and we have already had some interest as a result," He said the prince is very interested in how free sex with locals could be tied in with the area's woollen industry.
This year's royal tour does not include any destinations in north Wales due to the protracted debauchery extending to press-ganged villagers and anticipated slow recovery but the prince will be holding a series of subsequent meetings with his local Internet counter-surveillance group posing as Salvationists and members of the National Trust.
On Wednesday the prince, accompanied by the duchess, will present free Tee-shirts well marked WALES to large breasted young women who should know better cheekily encouraging men of all ages to leer at their leviathan sized mammaries.
The initiative is intended to demonstrate the Prince's unbridled respect for the youth of Wales. The prince plans to paint a watercolour of a pornographic nature of the Tee-shirt giveaway to be used as a logo to specially commemorate the occasion and be engraved as a postage stamp.

Jennifer Hudson is making a return to the big screen this holiday season — and she's being backed up by an all-star cast.
The Oscar-winning actress stars in the musical Black Nativity, featuring a cast which includes actors and musicians like Angela Bassett, Tyrese Gibson, Forest Whitaker, Mary J. Blige and rapper Nas in supporting roles.
Hudson, who won an Oscar for performance in 2006's Dreamgirls, plays the struggling single mother of a streetwise teen named Langston.
After facing a few hardships, she sends Langston to spend the Christmas holidays with his grandparents in New York City whom he has never met (played by Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett).
The film, which is a contemporary adaption of Langston Hughes' 1961 play, follows Langston on his inspirational journey to discovering the power of faith and family.
Black Nativity is scheduled to hit theaters on November 27.

O's legend Weaver speaks at HOF
O's legend speaks at Hall
Weaver participated in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's ongoing Voices of the Game series on Sunday night. The event, part of the 2007 Hall of Fame Game Weekend, took place before a full house in the Hall's Grandstand Theater. Upon being introduced, the crowd made up mostly of Orioles fans -- in Cooperstown for Monday afternoon's big-league exhibition between Baltimore and Toronto -- gave the 76-year-old Weaver a standing ovation.
Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1996, Weaver's 1,480 managerial victories, all with the Orioles, are currently 20th on the all-time list. He finished with a .583 wining percentage, five 100-win seasons, six American League East titles, four pennants and the 1970 World Series championship. And as his Hall of Fame plaque reads, Weaver "managed the Orioles with intensity, flair and acerbic wit for 17 seasons."
But as Weaver told the rapt Cooperstown crowd, if he didn't become a manager, the longtime Minor League second baseman is not sure what would have become of him.
"I was a good Double-A baseball player, mediocre Triple-A, and would have been a player on a last-place big-league club. I didn't have Major League talent to help someone become a winning team," Weaver said. "As I was playing Minor League baseball, watching the guys go ahead of me to the Major Leagues, I'm judging what they had and what I didn't have, and I realized I was going to be a little bit short of Major League talent.
"I left home at 17 years old to play professional baseball, so there weren't any other skills. I don't know what I would have done."
Luckily, after 9 1/2 years as a Minor League player, Weaver was given the opportunity to manage in the Orioles farm system in 1956. It took another 10 1/2 years as a Minor League skipper before Weaver was given his shot to manager in the big leagues with the Orioles in 1968.
After falling to the Miracle Mets in the 1969 World Series, Weaver won his one and only World Series the next year against the Reds. When asked what he remembers most of that five-game title run, Weaver responded with two words -- Brooks Robinson.
"I've never seen so many balls hit to a third baseman," Weaver said. "It just seemed like every single ball that Cincinnati hit would be to his left, would be to his right, diving catches, unbelievable plays. If you were lucky enough to go to the Orioles games every day, you'd see Brooks make those plays throughout the season, but never so many in a five-game series."
It was also during these early years that Weaver began to gain a reputation for his disagreements with the men in blue. In all, he ended his career with 98 ejections, an American League record. Whether it be covering home plate with dirt, tearing up a rule book, or turning his cap backwards to argue in an umpire's face, the footage of these outbursts is engrained in the minds of baseball fans everywhere.
In introducing his wife of 43 years, Marianna, to the Hall of Fame audience, Weaver explained, "She went through all of those 98 ejections and each time I'd come home and she'd tell me what a fool I'd made of myself and 'Don't do it again.' But it never seemed to stop."
Weaver did have some nice things to say about umpires, singling out Hall of Famer Nestor Chylack.
"The man never got a call wrong," Weaver said. "No matter how close the play, if Nestor said 'out', I'd say my player was out or if he said 'safe', I'd say that player was safe."
As a young manager with Elmira (N.Y.) of the Eastern League, Weaver made his first trip to the Hall of Fame on an off-day. Never at that time could he have imagined that one day he'd be one of only 16 managers, alongside such legends as Connie Mack, John McGraw and Casey Stengel, to be elected to the Cooperstown shrine.
"To be in that group is an honor, but I earned it. Number one, I had a lot of ballplayers that earned it for me. And that's the first thing a manager thinks of, is the guys that got him there, the players he had," Weaver said. "The other thing you've got to remember is that that manager picks those players. Managing is getting that team to coordinate and play together. That's what a manager has to do. Of course, you need the talent to do it, but you can teach that talent how to play baseball correctly."
Weaver was also asked about his thoughts on one of this year's Hall of Fame inductees, Cal Ripken Jr., who he managed when the longtime Baltimore shortstop made his big-league debut in 1981.
"He's just a baseball person from a baseball family," Weaver said. "His dad (Cal Sr.) caught for me in 1960, the year that Cal was born. Cal Sr. and I became close. And a year or two later, Baltimore offered Cal a managing job with the Orioles. He more or less followed me up the ladder, and he'd have the family with him all the time.
"As Cal Sr. managed some of those Minor League clubs, Cal Jr. would be the clubhouse guy. He knew baseball a lot better than some of the guys that had played four or five years of Minor League baseball," Weaver added. "But Cal, as a kid growing up, just knew the game, knew how to play the game, and wanted to play the game."

Nurses Make a Difference
All my life I've wanted to have a job where I could help change the lives of hurting people. Whether the person is a person who is physically, mentally or emotionally ill. It wasn't until I had to take care of my own grandmother at the age of 15 years old did I decide nursing was my calling. I've come from a very under privilege community. Many have little to no access to healthcare. I wanted to be the one to make the difference not only in my own family, but as well as in my community. I decided to dedicated my life into becoming a nurse so that I could later pursue a career as a Family Nurse Pracitioner. In this position, I will be allowed the opportunity to open my own clinic to those who don't have access to healthcare or insurance at an affordable cost. With the laws they way they are designed now we need clinics for people to meet their minor healthcare needs early on to prevent them from becoming major healthcare deficits.

NCPA's Burnett: "Ohio Judge's Decision Hits The Mark"
October 08, 1999
Dallas (Oct. 8, 1999) - Responding to Ohio Judge Robert Ruehlman's decision today to dismiss Cincinnati's liability lawsuit against gun manufactures, National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) Senior Policy Analyst H. Sterling Burnett issued the following statement:
"Judge Ruehlman is the first judge in these municipal lawsuits to show the good sense to exercise judicial restraint.
"Both judicial precedent and more than 200 years of common law support Ruehlman's contention that it is the sole legitimate province of the legislature, not the courts, to make laws concerning product safety and legitimate distribution channels.
"I applaud Judge Ruehlman on his good sense."
Burnett, authored a study for the NCPA earlier this year entitled "Suing Gun Manufacturers: Hazardous to Our Health," which echoed many of the same points made by Judge Ruehlman in his decision to dismiss the suit. The study also notes that citizens use guns in self-defense as many as 2.5 million times annually (in the vast majority of cases, merely showing the firearm prevents the crime). That far exceeds the number of crimes committed with firearms each year, providing cities like Cincinnati with a net social benefit from gun use. Accordingly, Burnett calculates that guns save U.S. citizens between $1 billion and $38 billion annually.

Album Rating: 3.0Granted, Albarn's one of the most brilliant and versatile pop composers working today, I couldn't imagine him succeeded in the same way that Automator and Danger Mouse (two producers who can make their style fit just about any genre, but still understand the fundamentals of hip-hop) did on the first two records.
ummm wut?...? fix
There's some nice writing to be found here. My only problems are that out of this entire review you only mention the actual music once:
The music, a fusion of played-out new wave beats and self-consciously whimsical chamber pop, is continually dull, and the rotating cast of vocalists does absolutely nothing to mitigate this blandness.

Excellent stuff. Not the best Jin Xuan I've ever had, but not far off and it's a bargain for the price.
A sweet buttery aroma from the tin, almost like Caramel popcorn.
Taste is milky and smooth. Very enjoyable, just don't steep too long.

Infiniti FX35 / FX50 Lease Questions
Hey infinitiluv. On a lease, you would be eligible for the $2,000 loyalty cash incentive. However, you would not be able to take advantage of the $4,000 dealer cash. It is not compatible with IFS' special lease program.

You're very welcome, Kevin. There's nothing wrong with pasting the entire ad here. Someone else might actually find it helpful.
Like most manufacturers' official advertised lease payments, I suspect that Infiniti's official ad for the FX35 leaves a little meat on the bone so to speak. Savvy consumers who are in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to negotiate a lower selling price on the vehicle that they want than the one that was used to calculate the advertised payment.
Shop around for the lowest possible selling price on the FX that you want and then have the dealer that you choose to go with calculate your truck's payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

ajmackx Posts: 1Car man,
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere in this thread:
What is the residual % on a 39 month 10k / year lease?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
I'm looking to lease a 2010 FX35 AWD & received the following quote. I'd appreciate any feedback as to whether this seems like a good deal or not:
Deluxe Touring package
Premium package
Nav package
Sale Price $48,420.00
Rate .0018
Residual 52%
Allowed Miles per year 12K
Acqusition fee $595.00
Doc Fee $99.00
state taxes $1,452.60
Adjusted residual $27,258.40
No money down
monthly payment $698.94
I'll be returning an existing Infiniti lease so I'm hoping that I can apply an additional $2k loyalty cash to reduce the cap cost even more.
Also I'm wondering if it's standard practice for dealers to pad the money factor on a lease as a way to add profit. It seems that the quotes I'm getting all have higher money factors than the current IFS rate.
gatordent2007 Posts: 4Hi,
I just leased the basically the same car, except in florida he told me there was no AWD, basically 1000 less msrp. But i also had loyalty cash, and i think i got a decent deal. I based my target payment based on info from this board as to what people were paying so i didnt concentrate so much on the exact numbers but more on the money down and monthy payment numbers. I also dealt previously with the same salesman in Tampa. Here is the deal i got:
2010 FX35 RWD w/ prem, nav, deluxe touring
Total out of pocket $1000 (which includes first months payment)
39 months/ 10K miles
629/ month tax included
So basically 371 down to cover any of their "fees"
Also got them to tint the front two windows at no charge
All in all, i think i did OK.
Here's your answer, ajmackx. Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39 month lease of a 2010 FX35 AWD with 10,000 miles per year are .00138 and 53%, respectively.

timmboj Posts: 123Car_Man,
I have a lease deal on the table for a 2010 Infiniti EX35 AWD with AVM-Navi, Premium and Technology Package. No 18" wheels though. I've just been emailing back and forth with the guy, but here's what I know...
Sale price $765 over invoice (whatever that is)
54% Residual
39 month lease
12K miles per year
$1,500 drive off check
$550 a month which includes 7% tax
Is there some sort of incentive on the AWD models that I haven't read about? The quotes I've been getting all seem better than the RWD models. This particular lease sounds too good to be true.
Hey timmboj. The money factor and residual value that you were quoted look good. They're right in line with Infiniti Financial Services' current lease program for this model.
The selling price that you were quoted, $765 over invoice, seems reasonable as well.
If you like the EX, I personally don't see any reason not to go for this deal. Just make sure that the selling price that the dealer uses to calculate your monthly payment really is $765 over invoice.

bignasty1 Posts: 26Does anyone know how many months/days early you can turn your Infiniti lease in if you are going to lease another Infiniti? I am anxious to get out of my current Infiniti and into an FX35. :confuse:
Hi bignasty1. To the best of my knowledge, Infiniti is not currently running an official early lease termination program. It is usually fairly expensive to get out of leases early without one. How many months do you have left on your current lease?

killerred2010 Posts: 3I'm looking to lease a 2010 FX35 this month (March). The MSRP is $48515 Prem/Nav RWD and am looking for a good deal. 36 month lease, 12,000 miles per year. Can anyone advise the following:
Discount off MSRP (have an 07 now to turn in)
Money Factor Rate
Residual Percentage
Thanks in advance!
rassaley Posts: 1I currently have the following quote on a lease for a FX35 with Tech and Premium. MSRP is $50,210. Selling price is $44,835 plus doc fee of $150, plus sales tax.
No money down, no trade in. Frist Payment only.
36 months, 15,000/ year, $689/ mo. plus sales tax, Residual $27,113. or
39 months, 15,000/year, $679/mo. plus sales tax, redisual $26,109.
Is this a fair deal?
Thank you,
vinehill Posts: 10I didn't think you could get the Tech Package without adding Deluxe Touring Package ($2,650 MSRP) and Nav ($2800 MSRP.)
sewellgsm Posts: 775You are correct.
blastphemy Posts: 34I'm looking for current money factor, residual value, and loyalty cash (or other incentives) on a 24-month and a 36-month lease of a new 2010 FX50 w/technology pkg, illuminated kick plates, cargo organizer, splash guards, alarm impact sensor, first aid kit, black obsidian exterior, wheat interior, and NO sport pkg. Thank you for any information you may have!
Here's the information that you're looking for. You definitely do not want to lease this truck for 24 months, Nissan is no longer providing support on two year leases.
Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 FX50 with 15,000 miles per year are .00104 and 49%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top two credit tiers.

Hi Car_man,
Is this a nationwide deal, or just in Calif.?
Also, for 10K/y 36 mo., I assume, the MF is the same, but what would be the residual? are there any incentives for this model?
d_nyholm Posts: 74I am looking at leasing a 2010 FX35 AWD. What are the current residuals and money factors for the month of April? Last I checked they were 53% and .00138, but I wanted to be certain before I go to the dealer. Can the dealer 'adjust' these rates if they wanted to or is it something that is set and I won't have to worry about??? Also, if I am turning in a 2007 G35, is the lease loyalty still $1000 and will that come off of my Cap cost? I am looking to purchase it through USAA with it's no haggle pricing, so I assume the loyalty will come off of the USAA price and lower the cap cost even more?? Thanks in advance.
Hi cityboy2. Infiniti's lease program is currently national.
You are correct, the FS's money factors are the same, regardless of the mileage allowance that you choose. IFS' 10,000 mile per year residual values are 2% higher than its 15,000 mile per year resids and 1% higher than its 12k resids.
The only cash incentive that is available on leases of this truck is $1,000 loyalty cash.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi d_nyholm. Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 FX35 AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00079 and 51%, respectively.
Dealers are not allowed to alter vehicles' residual values and the buy rate is the lowest money factor that they can charge. Dealers are sometimes allowed to mark up vehicles' money factors to add additional, hidden back-end profit to deals.
Yes, if you are a current Infiniti lessee then you are eligible for a $1,000 loyalty cash incentive on the lease of a new FX. Make sure that the dealer subtracts this offer from whatever selling price you negotiate.

frank310 Posts: 45Car_Man,
I just want to verify the May lease rates for an FX35 AWD 39 months, 10,000 miles per year, buy rate lease money factor and residual value .00079 and 53%.
Thanks once again for the help now and in the past.
Hey Frank. Those numbers are right on the money.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi all,
I have never leased a car before. I am trying to learn the jargon but have been getting a bit overwhelmed. I would like to know from the experts out there is the current advertised lease for the FX35 good?
Details are:
539 /month Lease for 39 months
$3,999 initial payment
2010 FX35 AWD with Premium and Navigation Packages
Excludes taxes, title, license and options. Offer ends 06/01/2010.
Are those numbers set in stone or can I walk in and negotiate the lease information down? I have excellent credit (780 - 790) if it makes a difference. I have bought many a car in the past but leasing is a whole new ballgame to me.
If I can still negotiate the numbers where should I begin? Based on above should I negotiate the down the down payment or the selling price?
For this vehicle I am considering lease because a) won't keep past 3 years. b) mileage is not an issue (especially if I can negotiate up to 12 or 15k) c) don't want to pay a purchase price payment even at 0%/60 months.
Thanks all!
What is the MSRP?
49,965 according to the website.
WelCOME ciege. Mnufacturers' official advertised lease payments are usually pretty good deals. Having said that, savvy consumers who are in areas that have a decent level of competition are usually able to beat manufacturers' advertised leases by shopping around and negotiating a lower selling price than the one that was used to arrive at the advertised payments.
Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

I have been offered a dealer demo 2010 FX35 MSRP 52,723 I am new to all this and wanted to make sure this deal looks good. Mileage is 4700. I am not looking to purchase the car at the end of the lease.
Gross cap cost - 48081
Adjusted cap cost - 2615.91
Residual - 26239.15 (51%)
Total Payments by end of lease 28,422
3,866 down
DMV fees $986
Less loyalty discount of 1,000
Monthly payments 609 (including tax)
Was wondering if there was anything fishy going on with the residual as the car has miles on it.
Sorry about this. Cap cost reduction is 2651.91 and Adjusted cap cost is 45474.47
kjc1334 Posts: 2What is the current buy rate on a 2010 FX35 AWD? Should I be getting buy rate or is it fair that they mark it up?

Great Game!
I love this game because you can still get GREAT game quality without paying 99 cents for "crazy mode!" I would totally consider buying the in-app purchase that is 99 cents. And whoever said that there isn't a back button, there IS! It is in the top right corner, also including your time left, pause, and back. But anyways, this is a great game and I would totally consider buying it!
Love this game makes me so happy. That you can actually play it with out having to buy.
It's a fun game when you have nothing to do.

The MLB is testing a new bit of tech that could make bringing your phone to the game as important as remembering your tickets.
Actually, with this updated version of MLB's At Bat app, your phone will be your ticket. And thanks to Apple's new iBeacon system, that's not its only feature. (Image: MLB via Mashable)
You might have missed the iBeacon news in the slew of reporting on Apple's redesigned iOS 7. As a refresher, it's a system that uses cheap, low-powered transmitters – or beacons – to communicate with nearby phones. (Video: Apple)
It's essentially Apple's answer to Near Field Communication, which you've likely seen used in payment apps like Google Wallet. The MLB saw immediate use for the location-based tech inside its ballparks.
So the league placed beacons around the New York Mets' Citi Field and had users give the early version a test-run. (Video: CNET)
The app sends out bluetooth signals to find your location. When you pass a landmark, like the Met's apple statute, for example, it sends you information on that spot. (Images: Wikimedia Commons)
The app not only stores your ticket, but it also helps you find your seats. Or as CNET's Bridget Carey discovered –
(Image: MLB via Mashable)
"My ticket was just scanned, and oh, I just got a pop up for two dollars off a hotdog."
The list of potential uses for Apple's iBeacons is long, but the MLB has reportedly been thinking about in-park tech for a while now. It's tried using NFC and QR codes unsuccessfully. An MLB developer tells Mashable –
"...GPS is notorious for not working indoors, especially when you are in a building made of steel."
So Apple's tech seems like the answer. Of course, the league still has a few things to work out before it hopes to launch the system in 2014. Mainly, the bluetooth beacons aren't one-size-fits-all.
Outfitting an older park, like Fenway, with bluetooth transmitters is likely going to be a much different process than adding beacons into Minneapolis' Target Field, which opened just a few years ago. (Images: Wikimedia Commons)
Sounds time-consuming, but the MLB's SVP of Mobile Product Development tells TechCrunch taking the time to do it right is key.
"We're baseball, we're not a small startup. We want to be nimble and quick and take new opportunities, but we also don't want to roll something out that's going to confuse fans."
For now, Bluetooth low energy technology will only work with iPhones 4S and above, but Android has promised to add LE to its upcoming 4.3 software update.

It doesn't come out for a few more weeks, but fans of Grand Theft Auto are waiting as patiently as they can for GTA 5, due for release on September 17 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Not only has Rockstar Games released the official trailer, but the soundtrack and storyline were leaked online after hackers got into pre-loaded PS3 versions in Europe. Since then PlayStation removed all of the copies from the PlayStation store.

XForms engines (1 messages)
We are planning about developing an interactive Web 2.0 application.We may also integrate it with Google Maps. I want to keep it very modular so that it is easy to change it. XForms seems very promising (However with Server side Xforms to XHTML transformation) We are either planning to use an existing Xforms engine or write one. My goal is to eliminate labyrinths of monolithic JSP and Web tier code. Has anyone had any experience with Xforms or have an opinion ?

- XForms + Ajax is a good way to go by Mark Birbeck on February 13 2008 08:43 EST
XForms + Ajax is a good way to go[ Go to top ]
Hi Nagraj, My company will soon be releasing an XForms processor that supports XForms by leveraging Ajax engines. The XForms mark-up is not converted server-side, but instead the 'pure' forms are delivered to the browser which processes them, and makes use of an Ajax library to provide much of the actual functionality. (At the moment the library supports YUI for all features, and has a few Dojo- and script.aculo.us-compatible adapters in place as a proof of concept.) Sending the full XForms to the browser means that you can use any server technology you like with your forms. This architecture is quite nice, since you get most of the benefits of using an XForms processor like formsPlayer or the FIrefox plug-in, but with the easy deployment and browser-compatibility model provided by Ajax. And most importantly, you get to do Ajax using mark-up; our library supports some SMIL animations as well as XForms, further decreasing the need for script. One thing I'm really excited about is what I've called Progressive Browser Enhancement, which XForms lends itself to very nicely; the idea is that if the user installs components like a system tray message processor, browser extensions, offline storage such as Google Gears, or whatever, the XForms library makes use of the component without having to modify any code. That takes XForms to a whole other level when it comes to creating web 2.0 applications. We're still preparing the modules for release as an open source project, so I can't give you any links at the moment, but feel free to contact me if you want to know more. The code will be dual-licensed, so that non-open source projects can still make use of the library. Product-plugging aside (hopefully I haven't overstepped the mark here!), I think XForms is a good way to go for web 2.0-style applications, and as the year progresses, you'll see applications being built along exactly the lines that you are considering. Regards, Mark

10 Best, Most Anticipated Video Games (Late 2009)
There's nothing like waking up to a crisp Autumn morning, your body shivering thanks to the open bedroom window, to remind you that time flies. Somehow, summer is behind us, and we are on a steady march towards the holidays and the new year to come. Don't fret though, as 2009 still has a few shining moments left in her, particularly if you look forward to blockbuster video games as much as we do.
The fourth quarter of this year will see some of the hottest, most anticipated games unleashed on the bleary-eyed public. That means you need to save up your pennies and your sick days, lest you need them (along with an ample supply of caffeinated beverages) to dive into one of more of the titles on our list.
Hit the jump to pine for our as-yet unreleased picks.
Assasin's Creed II
Release Date: November 17
Succeeding his brother-at-arms, Altair, is a new assassin, Ezio. Ubisoft has him practicing his craft in Renaissance-era Italy, exploring dangerous cityscapes and taking out his targets with weapons inspired by da Vincian design. The open world gameplay lends itself well to nimble controls that made the original Assasin's Creed such a hit.
Cost: $57
DJ Hero
Release Date: October 27

Wow what a bad experience. I ordered a t-shirt on march 17th, two months later it had still not arrived, no contact or anything regarding the status of the order. I decided i'd had enough and cancelled the sale. This was the 9th of may, i still have no refund, they are impossible to reach by phone and reply to emails in one word sentences that seem like they have been written by a child. Still no refund. A call to trading standards is on the cards. Very very poor. Steer clear.

OAKLAND — Alameda County government and court workers staged a noon rally Thursday, protesting what they said were unfair benefits paid to top level managers while they have forfeited raises and live under a constant threat of layoffs.
Marching outside the county administration building, they said they were angry over deferred compensation payments made to politicians and also over expected furloughs and layoffs in Superior Court, which is funded by the state. This newspaper reported Sunday that top Alameda County elected officials and department heads receive as much as $44,000 a year in deferred compensation in addition to generous pension contributions.
Rank and file workers "were horrified" to learn about the payments, said Amy Dooha, a welfare worker and representative of Service Employees International Union Local 1021, which organized the rally.
"I had no idea they get two free deferred compensation accounts," Dooha said. "We pay for our own deferred compensation through payroll deductions with no matching funds."
Top officials who receive the benefit did not return messages.
Protesters also ripped into court administrators for what they said were furloughs and job losses when top administrators have received raises. The latest cutbacks involve the layoffs of court reporters assigned to civil courtrooms, said Addie Kanae, a court clerk and union official.
Alameda Superior Court spokeswoman Sarah Guenther said officials had no comment. The workers did get one bit of good news Thursday when the state Supreme Court let stand a lower-court ruling that the Alameda Court violated personnel rules involving the layoffs of nine workers in 2009. Most of them have already returned to public employment. In all, the court laid off 72 workers in 2009, 63 of which were affected by the court's decision.

ALBANY, N.Y., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Members of the New York Army and Air National Guard were standing by New Year's Eve, ready to respond if an emergency arises, state military officials said.
New York Gov. David Paterson directed the Guard members to conduct additional security missions and be ready to respond to local civil authorities if needed, the U.S. Defense Department said Wednesday in a news release.
The National Guard's 2nd Civil Support Team, a rapid-response squad that detects chemical, biological or radiological hazards, will send a detachment to New York to support the city's police department, military officials said.
National Guard personnel were to conduct increased security operations at Penn Station, the Port Authority Trans-Hudson terminal, and LaGuardia and Kennedy airports, officials said.

'The Grey': Much More than Man vs. Beast
The Grey strives to be something different, turning what could have been a piece of mid-January claptrap into a far more satisfying experience.
There is no yarn older than that of man vs. nature. It's part of our ancestral make-up and homo sapien heritage. Aside from someone like Werner Herzog, who always turns these artistic explorations into something akin to man vs. his own nature, the story of survival is instinctual. It's as much a part of our humanity as love...or hate. In his newest film, writer/director Joe Carnahan (collaborating with author Ian MacKenzie Jeffers) turns an existential eye on the whole one against the elements ideal...and for the most part, he succeeds. While audiences might be expecting a rollicking rollercoaster of action and thrills, The Grey actually builds from the inside out, focusing on the individual struggles of a group of plane crash survivors before bringing them face to face with a pack of ferocious wolves.
Our main hero is Liam Nesson, playing the plaintive John Ottway, a sullen man who is hired by an Alaskan oil refinery to maintain the safety of the staff. He does so with a high powered rifle, a gift for marksmanship, and a 'nothing to lose' attitude. There are hints of a great tragedy in his past, and like the rest of his coworkers, he considers himself an outcast in the regular world. A plane crash strands Ottway and about half dozen or so of his companions in the middle of the wintery tundra. Needing to move quickly to survive, they soon learn that they have landed in the middle of grey wolf hunting territory - and a particularly nasty pack consider them their new prey. Avoiding attack, frostbite, and hypothermia, the ragtag group try to distance themselves from the hungry animals. Sadly, they may not make it out of the situation alive.
With its thoughtful tone, melancholy voice over (by Nesson), and desire to turn your standard schlock level premise into something more meaningful, The Grey becomes an endearing, if overly earnest, entertainment. It frequently fails to make its characters into anything more than cliches (the badass, the gallows humor guy, the loving father, the strong-weak link) and really never gives us a clear view of the threat all around. Indeed, the wolf attacks are handled in carefully edited, PETA-friendly sequences which infer a lot and show very little. Any gore or gruesomeness comes at the expense of the actors, whose wounds spray blood while the surrounding snow turns a sickening color of bright red. In fact, without Nesson at the center, this movie would be mediocre. With his fatherly, ferocious presence, it avoids the worst of its genre trappings to turn into something almost great. Almost.
Indeed, for a movie built on the notion of a group of guys overcoming the constant threat of a pack of wolves, The Grey is fairly dour. Like last year's Drive, which took a typical modern crime scenario and strapped it to the back of a late '40s noir, this is a post-millennial monster movie laced to the insular efforts of the early '70s. Indeed, you could easily see a Robert Redford or a Lee Marvin taking on the Central Casting company provides, all while delivering the deep thought inner dialogue which pushes the film forward. Within the collection of creeps and cons, a couple certainly stick out. As a loving parent who seems convinced that he will never come to harm, Dermot Mulroney is excellent. While almost unrecognizable in his beard and ball cap, his endearing performance shines through. Similarly, Frank Grillo gives the macho Diaz a nice undercurrent of heart. While his bravado grows tiresome, his passion does not.
For his part, Neeson is the calm both within and before the storm. He knows enough about the wolves to keep his compatriots informed, but really can't stop the oncoming slaughter. It's an intense inner conflict that comes across on every inch of his freezing face. Unlike his past action attempts - Unknown, Taken, The A-Team (his last collaboration with Carnahan) - this is more of a mental challenge than physical one. The elements hamper almost all human endeavors, so Neeson's Ottway must be more clever, more cunning than the animals he is battling. That he rarely 'wins' is not the point. He believes in himself, not some false feeling of fate (or faith). It makes for an intriguing central conceit to what we've normally come to expect from the genre.
As for Carnahan, he's finally figured out that less is a lot, lot more. In previous efforts such as Smokin' Aces (which came across like an Americanized Guy Ritchie on crystal meth) and the aforementioned TV remake, he was out of control and confusing. This was a director who saw nothing wrong with giving the audience such audacious set-pieces as a freefalling tank in full artillery mode blasting away at enemies or a raucous, ridiculous shoot-out in a glass and mirror laden hotel lair filled with oddball assassins. In The Grey, the only over the top eye candy is the stunning Canadian landscape, it's ice palace tranquility frequently broken up by blizzards, massive snow banks...and the blood trailing from another wolf victim. It's a nice counterbalance to the slow burn desperation inherent in the narrative.
In fact, the best thing about The Grey is the fact that it doesn't give into the same old action movie tropes. We don't get Ottway 'inventing' a series of hand crafted booby traps to keep the animals at bay, nor is there a moment when the movie forgets its set-up and offers a character a sudden surge of ability he didn't have before. Yes, the frequent lapses into a drowsy dreamscape (the better to establish Ottway's morose worldview) can grow a bit tiring, and the ending is the kind of incomplete shocker that should send at least more than one angry audience member to their Twitter account, but it's all part of Carnahan's determined design. Instead of giving fans what they expect, The Grey strives to be different. Sometimes, such a determination works against the overall effect of the film. Here, it turns what could have been a piece of mid-January claptrap into a far more satisfying experience.

Doane to Begin 'Community Meals' Program in Crete
Doane College, in conjunction with First Congregational United Church of Christ in Crete, will begin a new program this month to serve free hot meals to the public.
The first meal will be served Monday, Nov. 26 from 5-7 p.m. at First Congregational UCC at 12th and Ivy Streets in Crete.
The Community Meals program will continue with free meals the last Monday of each month, according to Rev. Karla Cooper, Doane Chaplain and Community Services Coordinator.
"In the United States, we assume people have access to basic necessities like food and shelter, but, unfortunately, a lot of families don't have nutritional hot meals on a daily basis," she said.
Placing the free hot meals at the end of the month may help families get through a week when resources are at the lowest, she said. The program also may eventually offer more meals each month.
Doane will provide food, supplies and volunteer labor, along with other volunteers in Crete.
Donations and volunteers are still needed. If anyone is interesting in volunteering or donating items, please contact the Reverend Karla J. Cooper, Doane College Chaplain/Coordinator of Service Programs at 402.826.6747.

Truvada oral Warnings
Rarely, this medication can cause severe (sometimes fatal) liver and blood problems (lactic acidosis). Immediately tell your doctor if you develop symptoms of liver problems (such as persistent nausea, light-colored stools, stomach/abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin) or lactic acidosis (such as rapid breathing, drowsiness, fast/irregular heartbeat, unusual weakness, feeling cold especially in the arms/legs).
If you have hepatitis B infection as well as HIV, your hepatitis symptoms may get worse or become very serious if you stop taking this medication. Talk with your doctor before stopping this medication. Your doctor will perform liver function tests for several months after you stop.
If you are taking this product to prevent HIV infection, you must first get tested to be sure you are HIV-negative. Your doctor will perform laboratory tests before starting this medication and periodically during treatment (every 3 months) to make sure that you do not have HIV infection. Using this product will not always prevent HIV infection. To get the most benefit from it, take this product exactly as directed, and follow all prevention actions. (See also Uses section.) Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of HIV infection (such as tiredness, fever, persistent sore throat, night sweats, diarrhea, joint/muscle aches, enlarged lymph nodes).
Truvada oral Uses
This product is used with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life. This product is a combination of two different drugs: emtricitabine and tenofovir. Emtricitabine is called a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, while tenofovir is called a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. They are often called NRTIs.
This product should not be used by itself to help control HIV infection. Doing so can make your treatment less effective. Combination treatment with at least one other HIV medication should be used.
This product is also approved in the US to help prevent HIV infection in people who have a high risk for infection. Some things that increase risk include having a partner infected with HIV, having unprotected sex, having multiple sex partners, infection with a sexually transmitted disease-STD, or use/abuse of drugs or alcohol.
Emtricitabine/tenofovir is not a cure for HIV infection. Also, it will not always prevent HIV infection. To help prevent becoming infected with HIV and to decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, do all of the following: (1) continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor, (2) always use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during all sexual activity, and (3) do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This product may also be used to lessen the risk of HIV infection after contact with the virus (for example, due to a needle stick). Ask your doctor for more details.How to use Truvada oral

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily with or without food. The dosage is based on your kidney function, medical condition, and response to treatment. For children, the dosage is also based on weight.
When used to treat HIV infection, this product is taken with other medicines that treat HIV. If you are also taking didanosine enteric-coated tablets, take both products either on an empty stomach or with a light meal. If you are taking the didanosine buffered tablets, take both drug products on an empty stomach.
Continue taking this medication (and your other anti-HIV medications) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This medication works best when the amount of drugs in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.
Do not take more or less of this drug than prescribed or stop taking it (or other HIV medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Doing so may cause the amount of virus to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects.

Re-enactors keep memory of black Civil War troops alive
Associated Press | 9/8/2010, 4:30 a.m.
During the decades after the war, the romanticized ideal of the Southern "Lost Cause" emerged, as did institutionalized racial segregation in the South.
In a mood of national reconciliation, Civil War reunions became events where veterans both North and South met as bands of brothers, celebrating the valor of the battlefield with little mention of the freedom brought to blacks and the role of blacks in gaining it.
That story "was surely erased, suppressed and ignored in the development of mainstream American memory; mainstream textbooks; mainstream public commemoration," said noted Yale historian David Blight, who has written extensively on the topic.
A memorial to Robert Gould Shaw, the white commander of the 54th who fell at Wagner, and his troops was unveiled in Boston in 1897. But that was an exception.
The commissions that staged the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1913 kept black vets away although there were black laborers there. "It was a Jim Crow blue-gray reunion," Blight said.
But the story of emancipation and the black troops has, in recent years, become mainstream in scholarship and, depending on where one looks, in teaching, he said. Indeed, re-enactors from a company of the 54th marched in President Barack Obama's inauguration parade.
"But it's not in the popular memory," Blight said. "To be honest, most Americans still get their history from a few snippets out of television movies, schooling to some degree and there is a vast, vast ignorance out there."
The story was marginalized for years and "by the late 20th Century, we were still living with the effects," Jones said, adding that even if people know of the black units, there is still a lot of misinformation.
Many think the 54th Massachusetts was the first black unit to fight and the Wagner attack was some sort of test to see how black men waged war. But the Militia Act, allowing enlistment of blacks, passed Congress more than a year before, he said.
Historians agree the first battle involving black troops was Island Mound in Missouri when the 1st Kansas Colored Troops fought Confederate raiders. Missouri has acquired the land for a state historic site.
Blacks also fought at Milliken's Bend, La., as part of the Union Vicksburg campaign, as well as at Port Hudson, La., in the weeks before Battery Wagner.
Joe McGill, who helped organize the South Carolina company of the 54th, said the upcoming months are important to telling the story of black troops.
For years, he said, "it just wasn't mentioned. When we're not at the table telling our story, it doesn't get told."
For Brown, the construction worker, re-enacting is about more than history and dates.
"It helps me understand the lineage I came from," he said. "Just think of what those gentlemen came through to help me."

'Building a Literate Nepal' poster competition
As part of the preparations of the celebrations of International Literacy Day, which is yearly observed on 8 September, the UNESCO Office in Kathmandu invites young people from Nepal, who are between 15 and 24 years old, to participate in a poster competition under the theme "Building a Literate Nepal". The winner will receive 5,000 rupees and the poster will be used during the UNESCO International Literacy Day Events.
For over 40 years now, UNESCO has been celebrating International Literacy Day by reminding the international community that literacy is a human right and the foundation of all learning.
Literacy is a human right, a tool of personal empowerment and a means for social and human development. Educational opportunities depend on literacy. Literacy is at the heart of basic education for all, and essential for eradicating poverty, reducing child mortality, curbing population growth, achieving gender equality and ensuring sustainable development, peace and democracy. There are good reasons why literacy is at the core of Education for All (EFA). A good quality basic education equips pupils with literacy skills for life and further learning; literate parents are more likely to send their children to school; literate people are better able to access continuing educational opportunities; and literate societies are better geared to meet pressing development.
Participants in the competition are invited to submit their posters with the specification of 6000 x 7200 at 300 DPI Resolution (20 x 24 inches) to Reeta Baramu at r.baramu(at)unesco.org.
