Daily Meal Plan for a Two-Year-Old
By the time your child reaches 2 years old, your days of cooking special meals and nursing throughout the night are generally over. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a 2-year-old can eat the same food as the rest of the family, consuming three meals and one or two snacks a day. Generally, a toddler of this age needs around 1,000 calories a day, coming from a variety of foods from all the food groups.
Toddler-Friendly Breakfasts
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests a breakfast menu of iron-fortified cereal or an egg for a 2-year-old, along with 1/2 cup of juice or 1/3 cup of fresh fruit, and a half-slice of toast topped with a 1/2 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of jelly. Finish the meal off with 3/4 cup of milk. This might seem like a lot of food, but the portions are small. An appropriate serving size for a toddler is between one-quarter and one-half of an adult's serving, says Eat Right, the website of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Safe and Healthy Lunches
Life with a toddler is hectic enough; don't make it more difficult by trying to create complicated lunches.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a lunch as simple as a half sandwich, made with one slice of whole-wheat bread and 1 ounce of meat, plus 1 teaspoon of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of dark green vegetables, 1/2 cup of 2 percent milk and a small, low-fat cookie for dessert. Certain foods that are traditional for toddlers might not be as good of an idea as you think -- hot dogs, raw carrots, spoonfuls of peanut butter, nuts and whole grapes can pose a choking hazard for your 2-year-old. Ensure that food is soft and small while your child is still learning how to chew efficiently.
Dinners for the Family
Encourage your child to try new foods and expand his tastes, particularly when you're cooking dinner for the whole family. Pair these new foods with familiar options, such as mixing a new vegetable with one of his favorites; however, don't force your child to eat certain foods, recommends the American Academy of Pediatrics. A healthy meal for a toddler at dinner includes around 2 ounces of meat or vegetarian protein; 2 tablespoons of vegetables; 1/3 cup of starch, such as pasta, rice or potato; and a 1/2 cup of 2 percent milk.
Filling the Gap with Snacks
Your child still has a small stomach, so he might get hungrier more often. Feed him one to two snacks throughout the day to keep his energy up. Lancaster General Health recommends considering these snacks to be "mini meals," consisting of foods from two or more food groups. Skip traditional snack foods like salty pretzels, fried potato chips or sugary cookies. Instead, offer up sliced or chopped fresh fruit, cut-up steamed vegetables, diced cheese, yogurt or crackers and tuna fish.

If you are a complete novice to the ''health & fitness'' world the chances are you are unfamiliar with terms like ''protein synthesis'' or ''insulin resistance.'' That's no issue because quite frankly you probably have bigger fish to fry right now other than concerning yourself with pretty intricate details about how you are going to squeeze and extra 2% of anabolism out of your body – there we go again, fancy fit words!
Forget them for now, instead focussing on cleaning your act up and stop committing 4 of the most common fit crimes!!
1 – Smoking
You don't need me, a health nut to tell you that smoking is ''bad'' for you. However we aren't going to get into the usual stuff. From a body composition perspective smoking can have a negative impact on the body due to its suppression on testosterone levels in men. Lower testosterone levels can leave you with a higher body fat, less muscle mass and an uphill battle to change it!
2 – Alcohol
Again, excessive drinking is just dumb in any context. However, in the context of body composition drinking alcohol on a regular basis can again have a negative impact on hormone levels, namely testosterone and estrogen. It can suppress testosterone and promote estrogen, not a great combination if you are after that beach body!
3 – Low Fat
You make an extra special effort to fill your shopping trolley with anything which is littered with slogans like ''1/2 the fat'' or ''fat free'' but you might be doing more harm than good! Sure your calorie intake is reduced however you are probably increasing your sugar intake dramatically. Again, not ideal for insulin health which is a VERY common area people abuse thus leading to stubborn body fat.
4 – Low Calories
A lot of people tend to reduce their food intake to be ''healthy'' yet end up starving themselves and causing all kinds of grief in the short and long term. Your metabolism will suffer making it very hard to lose body fat and what is worse when you do increase your calorie intake again you will be vulnerable to rapid fat gain. Crash dieting is a very common yet very detrimental practise to follow.
Stop committing these fit crimes!

The US public's souring mood over the war in Iraq is something US military leaders have seen before and learned to dread. In Vietnam, it foreshadowed a humiliating defeat.
Steadily mounting casualties, anti-war protests, crumbling public support and the open political warfare that erupted this week in Washington over Iraq have only heightened the sense of deja vu.
"This is following a political trajectory very similar to Vietnam," said Loren Thompson, a military analyst with the Lexington Institute, a Washington think tank.
"What happened in Vietnam was that as key legislators began to fall away from the president's agenda, military officers began to wonder whether they should be risking their lives for a waning cause," he said.
The growing break over Iraq was dramatized on Thursday in Congress when Representative John Murtha, a former Marine and respected Democratic lawmaker, set off a political firestorm by calling for an immediate withdrawal of US forces from Iraq.
"The American public is way ahead of the members of Congress. The United States and coalition troops have done all they can in Iraq. But it's time for a change in direction," Murtha said.
US military leaders, influenced by the Vietnam experience, have long recognized that the US public support is its "center of gravity," which if tipped could spell disaster in a long war.
Retired general and former secretary of state Colin Powell, author of the Powell Doctrine, favored the use of short, high-intensity wars with clearly defined goals in part because of the difficulty of keeping the public on board in a protracted conflict.
General Richard Myers, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, worried that loss of public support in Iraq could lead to a precipitous withdrawal of forces.
"As a nation, our best weapons are patience and resolve or, in one word, our `will,'" he said before retiring in September.
"We simply cannot afford to lose the will to finish the job at hand," he said.
Since then, public support has continued to slide, and this week the Senate signalled its concern by passing an amendment that called for regular progress reports on Iraq.
"What you see here is that members of both parties are basically running out of patience, and in effect saying they don't care what the consequence of leaving will be," Thompson said.
"When a military officer sees that and understands what it means, it has to have a negative effect on their performance," he said.

The Sacred series is not the most renowned franchise in the gaming industry, but it's no less one that has two solid entries under its belt and a dedicated group of followers who adore its universe. While in the past the "Sacred" namesake has been one that's associated with open-world design and dungeon-crawl mechanics, the upcoming spin-off title, Sacred Citadel, is looking to shake things up a bit. At PAX East, we had a chance to sit down with Alex Toplansky, creative producer with Deep Silver, to play the game and learn all about the changes coming to the world of Sacred.
Citadel introduces players the world of Sacred that loyalists will immediately recognize. The game, though different from the mainline entries in the franchise and certainly not a direct sequel, draws upon the very same lore and history as those before it. Despite the story being a major player in the previous games, though, Citadel takes a somewhat unconventional stance — at least for this series — by offering a narrative that never quite takes itself too seriously. "Quite a bit of time has passed historically since those events [of the previous games], so it's been about a thousand years since Sacred 1 and a lot has changed in the world. We're looking to give people a new, fresh look at what's going on in the Sacred universe [with Citadel]," Toplansky said. "You know, the story is definitely a little tongue-in-cheek; it's told from the perspective of treasure hunters, and these guys are just ordinary people running around for fun, trying to make some money, and end up getting caught in this crazy ancient legend. So that side of it is there, and we're looking forward to returning Sacred players seeing some of those connections, but I like to think of it as this sort of comic-inspired experience." This aspect may scare off some Sacred veterans, but Citadel isn't just pandering to longtime fans — no, it's looking to capture a wholly new audience, as well.
It's obvious from Citadel's design that Deep Silver are looking to grow its player base by reworking the Sacred experience. Instead of being an RPG-heavy adventure like the previous titles, Citadel is a 2D side-scroller in the vein of Double Dragon, Streets of Rage or even Castle Crashers to be more time-relevant, and is filled with bombastic attacks, wild chain-combos and just general, over-the-top, nonsensical beat'em uppery. But the game isn't all about punchy good times; there are clear influences of its lineage in the design concept. For starters, there's the obligatory level system which encourages players to beat up as many bad guys as possible in order to earn experience, rank up and then assign points to several attribute areas to tailor a character to the player's liking. Of course, there's also all that beautiful loot to, well, loot from the bodies of slain enemies. New armor and weapons are the primary items to drop from a trounced baddie, and can be equipped on the fly without so much as slowing down in one's quest to devour the souls of his dastardly foes. In the midst of combat, there's all the basics we've come to expect from these types of experiences: combos, charged attacks, dodge abilities and of course giant, special attacks.
But wait, this is all starting to sound awfully familiar… After all, most beat'em ups these days include a few if not all of the components just rattled off. Where Citadel tries to carve out its own identity however, is in its borrowing of classic Sacred staples. Meaning to say, Citadel makes use of a class system — one that actually means something in this genre of games. So for instance, each class is only able to equip specific armor and weapon types, and certain attacks are dependent on and sometimes exclusively available to one particular class of the available four. In doing this, Deep Silver has crafted a system that isn't mind-blowingly unique or, pardon the pun, deep, but they have added an extra layer to the cake of that oh-so-rich beat'em up goodness. And choosing the right class may prove vital in this multiplayer-emphasized extravaganza. But the game isn't just about its cooperative play, after all it can be experienced without the company of others. When asked about this, and if the title would be an enjoyable singleplayer experience, Toplansky promptly said, "Yeah, yeah, it's fun! Although the game really shines in multiplayer."
From the looks of it, Sacred Citadel is attempting to do something different with the series of which it is apart. At the same time, it's walking the cusp of offering something fresh for new audiences and old for franchise veterans. As a result, and somewhat by design, it may not be as expansive as the former games or boast a slew of RPG and customization options, but it seems to maintain that distinct hack and slash nature of its predecessors as well as those characteristics that made the former games what they are. At the same time, it also appears to be striving for an experience that possess a certain panache that remembers the glory days of gaming, where every storyline wasn't rot with world-ending seriousness and every gameplay mechanic didn't require a lecture and/or YouTube consultative training video to teach a player how to simply enjoy the game in front of them. If pulled off, Sacred Citadel could be the next Castle Crashers. If executed poorly, it could easily end up in the sea of forgotten beat'em ups, lost forever to been-there-done-there concepts and a lackluster appeal. Only time will tell. Citadel is slated for an April release on PlayStation Network, Steam and Xbox Live Arcade.

Looks like a lot of fun, just one question how did you choose yesterday to be Spring day? Is it a holiday that I don't know about or was it just the right day?ReplyDelete
So much spring fun. I love the easel painting.ReplyDelete

We usually celebrate on the first day of Spring, but it was dark and rainy/snowy like so many other dark and rainy/snowy days, and I just couldn't do it. :) (Not to mention we always have a fire and an egg hunt.)
So we kept watch on the forecast, for when it would work with a day off for Eric.
Looks like you are ready for Easter!ReplyDelete
Holy cow, shorts and sun and flowers half way out of the ground? We must live VERY far from you:) Lovely pictures, and so much fun.ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous day! We had snow all day. ;)ReplyDelete

So I don't know why he gets a mention. Odd, as I say. Anyway, the final sentiment expressed is accurate though. Labour need to pick up their game.
Otherwise those Greens will continue to look better and better.Though if you think about it, that sentiment has been accurate for how long now? A couple of years? If not for teh presence of Cuniliffe, I would have completely given up on Labour quite some time ago. Not that I'm particualrly for them at the moment. I just have written them completely off. Yet.

Ministerial Commendation for Tamworth Legacy president Greg Roese
A Nasho and Legatee has become one of the first people in the Tamworth area to receive a Ministerial Commendation for his "service above and beyond".
Tamworth Legacy president Greg Roese received his award from NSW Veterans Affairs Minister David Elliott this morning.
He said he was accepting it "on behalf of the other Legatees that support our widows and families within Legacy".
"Some are service personnel but a lot aren't; they just believe in the ideals of Legacy."
The award was made at a gathering of veterans and representatives from RSL, National Servicemen's Association and Legacy at Tamworth Railway War Memorial Park.

Mr Roese said it was hard to recall just how long he'd been a member of the charity organisation; he thought about 30 years.
But the Vietnam veteran certainly knows why he joined.
"I lost a mate at the Battle of Coral," he said.
"He was only newly married, and I found out a bit later that Legacy was actually supporting his wife, and that's when I became a member. He was 22 and I think she was a year younger."
He also recalls how it was with the support of a young Vietnam vets' group in Leeton, where he was living at the time.
"It took me awhile," he said.
"I guess, as part of the aftermath of the Vietnam War, I didn't want to be seen, didn't want to do anything; but they encouraged me to come out of my shell and help others in the community, and that's how I got involved with Legacy."
To the future
Mr Roese said the organisation had broadened its charter some years ago to help the families of living veterans.
"Even though the veteran may still be alive, he could well be suffering from PTSD or be in a situation where he has difficulty helping his family," he said.
"We always take the attitude that particularly young veterans' children should be assisted as best as possible, to make up for lots of things they lose as being part of a veteran's family."
Mr Roese said the Legacy branch had been in talks with Tamworth Young Veterans "to find out those families that need assistance early, rather than later".
He said the ongoing public support for Legacy was "quite remarkable, actually".
Unfortunately, the local money raised during the recent Legacy Week was down about 50 per cent on last year – but he said that was to be expected in the drought.
"We're certainly grateful for what we do get," he said.
Honouring them
Mr Elliott and Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson also announced an $1800 grant to the Tamworth RSL Sub-branch to freshen up the Tamworth Boer War Memorial on Marius Street.
"This year is the centenary of the Armistice, signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, to end the world war that cost Australia so many young and daring men," Mr Elliott said.
"This memorial carries on the important work we do to honour our servicemen and women, both past and present."

These days, there's not much Kate Middleton can do that the media doesn't pick up on and that includes a simple hour-long shopping spree on the streets of her hometown, London.
As The International Business Times reported today, the Duchess of Cambridge seemingly needed some "time out" from her royal duties, which also include looking after her husband Prince William and baby son, Prince George.
So, on Monday, Kate Middleton decided that enough was enough and that she badly needed some "retail therapy," which she chose to take at the John Lewis department store in Chelsea.
Sure it would have been an even more idylic outing if Kate would have gone alone and treated herself to some "me" time. But being the prestigious royal she is, the Duchess was, of course, accompanied all the way by two burly royal security guards.
A shopper who was at the store told E!online, "She was with two security guards but Kate carried all of her own bags and they did not look light."
Kate was dressed modestly as ever, hiding her growing baby bump underneath a white overcoat. She also wore knee length boots and a grey scarf.
It's no secret that Kate Middleton is a keen shopper and has even been known to seek the best bargains available. Nevertheless, this is the first time the Duchess has been spotted out in public since Christmas.
The new year is packed with public royal engagements for the Duchess, and just this week, she has two. The first is a visit to the Barlby Primary School in London on Thursday, followed by a trip to The Fostering Network on Friday.
While the Duchess was allegedly seen carrying a number of bags following her brief bit of retail therapy, no one is quite sure what she bought. Most people are speculating that the most likely items are presents or clothes for Prince George, and of course, some new maternity wear for herself.

HP Printer Cartridges Now Use Recycled Plastic
In the ever-continuing the battle to make ink jet printers less wasteful, HP announced today the latest innovation: a method to use post-consumer, recycled plastic inside its printer ink cartridges. The printer giant already has an ink tank recycling program in place--indeed, every major ink jet manufacturer does these days--but reducing the amount of waste generated in the first place is the best way to lessen our impact on the planet.
A story on PC Magazine news has greater detail about the new program: The technique has already been trialed, and now is being put into production. HP said that it has already produced more than 200 million cartridges during the so-called trial, and the company expects to use 10 million pounds of recycled plastic during 2008, partly as a result of the new manufacturing technique. In all, the recycled plastics content makes up between 70 and 100 percent.

Looking back at dmexco 2014: Marketing enters a new dimension
Three weeks have passed since the doors to dmexco, Europe's largest digital marketing conference, were shut for another year. It was a record breaking year for the dmexco team as the event attracted over 31,000 attendees, 800 exhibitors, and around 400 industry speakers. In some ways this expansion is also a reflection of the rapid growth of the online advertising industry in Europe, now valued at €27.3billion.
The two days spent at dmexco always fly by in a flurry of meetings, keynotes, seminars, networking parties and lots of walking around in a quest to find good food and the best branded goodies. To capture the spirit and buzz of the event for those that didn't manage to attend, and for those that just want to reminisce for a few minutes, we've produced a short round up video. Our General Manager of Europe, Sacha Berlik also shares his thoughts about dmexco, how the digital industry is changing and what the future of marketing might look like.
One of the key announcements made during the conference was from the IAB Europe, as they revealed that programmatic media spend in Europe grew by 111% from €0.98 billion in 2012 to €2.08 billion in 2013. They estimate that 75% of display will be sold programmatically by 2017 with mobile and video fuelling this. That's only 2 years away! Are you ready? If you would like to discuss the benefits of adopting a programmatic approach to marketing, contact us today to see how we can help.
Bring on dmexco 2015. It will be bigger and better than ever. We can't wait!

How to Build a Basic jQuery Mobile Page for HTML5 and CSS3 Programming
There's a very popular approach among HTML5 and CSS3 programmers to building mobile-friendly websites with AJAX, and that's to use an add-on library to jQuery called jQuery Mobile. Jquery Mobile is a powerful combination of JavaScript and CSS code built on top of the library.
The jQuery library works by taking a normal HTML5 page and modifying it in ways that emulate a native look and feel. The code looks a lot like ordinary HTML:
<!doctype html>   <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Mobile Demo</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.1/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.css" />

JQuery Mobile Demo

 jQuery Mobile website

This is an ordinary list

Coded to look like

a mobile list

 from HTML All in One for Dummies

A few details turn this page into a mobile wonder:
Include the jQuery mobile CSS.
This is a special CSS file designed to transform HTML elements into their mobile counterparts. Although you can download it yourself, most developers link straight to the jQuery site.
Include the standard jQuery library.
Much of the code is based on jQuery, so integrate the jQuery library as well. Once again, you need to pull jQuery from the main jQuery website.
Incorporate the jQuery mobile library.
This is a JavaScript library that extends the library to add new mobile-specific behavior.
Add a data-role="page" attribute to the main div.
Create a main div in your page and provide the attribute to it. This is a custom data-role attribute added by jQuery mobile. jQuery looks over the data roles of the various elements and applies style and behavior changes to these elements automatically. Assign your main div the data role page. This tells the browser to treat the entire div as a page.
Specify a data theme.
You can apply a data theme to any element, but you almost always apply a theme to the page. jquery mobile comes with a number of default themes built in, called "a" through "e." Experiment to find the one you like, or you can build your own with the special mobile version of the ThemeRoller.
Add more divs inside your page.
Add a few more divs inside your page div. Generally you'll have three: header, content, and footer.
Specify the header div with data-role="header".
By placing any of your header information inside a div with a "header" data role, you're telling jQuery to treat this element as a mobile header and apply the appropriate styles. The header typically includes an
 tag.
Typically you'll specify the header to be fixed with the data-position="fixed" attribute. This ensures the header will stay in place if the rest of the content is scrolled, which is typical behavior in a mobile application.
Set up a content div.
Add a div with data-role="content" to set up the main content area of your page. Any of the main body elements of your site should go in this segment.
Any link can be converted to a button.
The standard convention in web apps is to turn links into buttons that have a larger target than mouse-based input. It's easy to convert any link to a button by adding the data-role="button" attribute to the anchor tag.
Convert lists to mobile listviews.
Lists also have special conventions in the mobile world. You can use the data-role attribute to turn any list into a listView.
Build a footer.
Add one more div with data-role set to "footer". Normally, the footer (like the header) is fixed with the data-position attribute.

Future Home:
Really on a camper/trailer home kick lately. Honestly, I love the idea of going on an extended trip around the country of just living out of your van/home-on-wheels.
This 1977 Airstream Camper, this remodeled school bus.
Oh gosh I want it.
Really lovin' on the campers recently. Maybe I'll just get one of these and park it in front of the
Convent Hershey nursing apartments instead of paying rent…? hmmm table that idea…
ANYWAYS–> Things We Like Today,

"My Money Tree Is Dead"
An upcoming novel by The PSU Nursing Students
This interview, definitely this interview. Humbling reality check for all of us.
This song. One of those radio songs, at first you're not really having it ya know? BUT it starts to creep up, bit by bit….till one day you find yourself sitting in traffic too long and suddenly your head's a-boppin' and before you know it your really giving the neighbor cars a show.
This blog post by Joy The Baker, sometimes I wish I had the magic recipe for instant blog success too–but turns out blogs are successful when they are written only out of enjoyment and dedication of the author.
This essential oil. I'm getting the sniffles and have been sprinkling it on a rag to sleep with at night (is that odd? I'm sleeping with an old rag doused in eucalyptus like a baby blanket. No shame.
I didn't even tell you about"Scruffy".
This zucchini bread from Smitten Kitchen, made my my darling roommate-mother person-returned-from-Wild-Africa, The Peanut Butter Jar! This recipe was a staple in our apartment this year. Days immediately got a little sparklier when I'd come home to the smell of her baking (anything!) this ❤ sweetness.
This party! from Delightfully Tacky. What a cool idea for girls who have enough clothes to dress the state of Texas but still want to shake things up with new looks! You get to hang out with your ladies, eat tastiness, drink fun, you leave with a full shopping bag AND all your $$$. Yes Pleeeze.
This hair dye–after rolling in regret for dying my hair crazy red all year and living with the consequences of having hair the same color at zits after the intense red wore off I told Sister Claire to never ever let me do such a foolhardy thing again. No more dying hairs! I actually love my natural color, light ashy brown with real golden streaking, and don't really understand how I convinced myself to dye it in the first place. Unfortunately the post-red hair is pretty unappealing and I really missed being a brunette. So today I got some crazy back, was careful to sneak around Claire (who to her credit, is very diligent about protecting me from too much of myself and my spontaneous nuttiness) and dyed my hair with the Natural Instincts Light Brown Brass-Free color. The thing I can't stand with dying my hair is that no matter the shade I've always had those nasty reddish brassy undertones that just scream "cheap-o not-natural-at-all". Going back to brown I really really didn't want any of that and thought I'd have to just deal with it as a unavoidable side effect of DIY hair color. Found this "brass-free" dye and was skeptical, but figuring I already expected the worst I went ahead and tried it out. The results were so much better than I'd expected! It was EXACTLY the color I wanted but didn't expect to get! The brass was way not an issue, and the brown turned out very close to my root shade. I'm on a roll with these great hair decisions! Bangs, brunette….who knows what's next (this is next!) I really just want my hair to stay brown/grow back into it's natural brown and grow out to the middle of my back. This will probably take years.
Happy Saturday!

Gears of War – Review
Xbox 360
Review by BDZilla
Reviewed: 11/05/07
Gears of War offers gamers everything a next-generation game should be: beautiful visuals, an engrossing setting, and amazing gameplay.
The XBOX 360 has been around for a while now, and carrying on the legacy of its predecessor, Microsofts new box of joy is aiming to once again grab the shooting genre by the neck and steer it into perfection. Here, well introduce Gears of War, Epics thrilling new entry into the world of fast-paced, science-fiction shooters.
Adhering to the tried-and-true rule of some of the best fictional works out there, the developers aim to introduce you to a world not that far off from our own before distorting the reality and building an enthralling, new universe. The game takes place on the planet, Sera, which had been enduring of many modernistic dilemmas such as energy/fuel crisis, economic turmoil, and civil wars. However, even through all of that, something greater emerges from the depths of the earth and inspires the last vestiges of humanity to join forces for one last stand.
Fourteen years after Emergence Day, the day when the mysterious and alien-esque faction known as the Locust Horde emerged from underground, you take the role of Marcus Fenix. Having been locked in jail for Dereliction of Duty when trying to save your father, youre now broken free and re-recruited into the armed forces. The tale follows the path of Delta Squad, being made up of Fenix, his old friend Dom, ex-Thrashball star Cole, and the cynical Baird. Throughout the story, they struggle to discover the source of the Locusts and a way to seal them back under the earth.
The setting is emphasized beautifully, and its obvious that a lot of time was put into the presentation of the game. Textures and environments are top-notch, and the character models look amazing. The game has a general dark tone which is mirrored by the rather grey color scheme, but it really just fits the whole experience. Sound is also above average, and while you probably wont be humming any of the soundtracks songs, the sound effects and voice-acting are above and beyond, providing for an immersive and believable experience.
The game performs well throughout the duration, and even with the amazing visuals, the framerate remains steady. Cutscenes, however, which are filmed in real-time, sometimes chop up when the action really picks up in them. Altogether, though, its a solid experience with no horrendous slowdowns.
While it is definitely a war-time story, youll never get the grand scale feeling of games like Resistance: Fall of Man or the Call of Duty franchise. The games story generally follows the main character from start to finish, and the game really plays forward like one mission, while all around you are reminders that this has been happening for a while and youre only playing a very small part.
As a result of the more personal rather than global approach, its usually you, any number of your three teammates, and a small group of enemies battling it out in interactive environments. This doesnt mean that the game is a cakewalk, however. The enemies are smart and utilize strategic positions and cover in an attempt to keep you pinned down, and using the games simple cover system, youll find yourself making your way back and forth between park fences, broken cars, dirty pillars, and destroyed corridors.
The gameplay itself follows a more tactical approach in response to the emphasis on cover. Youll have to move around while remaining hidden, and are given the option of blindly shooting without aiming, which keeps you out of harms way but reduces your accuracy, or leaning out of cover to pick up those much needed head-shots. Dont expect to get far by simply running about and shooting like you would in the HALO franchise. Youre going to have to think and utilize your environment if you want to survive.
In order to help you in your struggles, Epic has placed an interesting arsenal of weapons into your hands. Youre allowed to carry four weapons at once which are selected via the directional pad: grenades, a pistol, and two other weapons of your choosing.
The grenades offer an aiming line that maps the trajectory and bounce of them within battle, which helps give you a little foreknowledge that you would otherwise lack if you were to just freely toss them, but usually you just dont have the time to match the path with your enemies. You can also sticky them in HALO fashion should you melee the enemy when you have the grenades equipped.
The other weapons behave like your standard shooter arsenal. You have a burst-fire rifle, an automatic rifle, a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, a shotgun, and an explosive bow reminiscent of the bow in the earlier Turok games for the Nintendo 64. While theyre all fine and dandy, youre usually going to want to stick with the balanced combination throughout the game, likely a long-distance weapon like the sniper rifle and a more balanced weapon like a rifle. There is also a weapon which allows you to signal a satellite-beam strike, but usually is useful in only a certain situation and should be discarded as soon as you get past those particular scenarios.
Reloading these weapons can be as simple as clicking a button, but then there is a sort of mini-game to it as well. There is a bar on the HUD under your weapon, and when youre reloading, you can click it again to improve the speed of the reload and power of the next shots, depending on how good you are at timing it in correlation with the colored areas on the bar. However, if you miss the shaded areas, youre going to jam your weapon, which wastes precious time. Its a good tool for getting back into the action sooner, but it might take a little time getting used to.
Each weapon has a different strength for their melee attacks as well, so when you use a weapon on an enemy, you want to make sure its going to leave a lasting impression. One great addition is the chainsaw bayonet on the lancer (the games automatic rifle). You get to hold the melee button down and cut the enemy to pieces in perhaps one of the more visceral, yet badass scenes ever seen in a game. Sadly, melee attacks feel clumsy due to the relatively slow motions of your character, and its usually safer to stay behind cover and fight from a distance. The game is really designed to urge you to keep the enemies away and not just run-in with guns blazing, adding a sense of realism yet restriction to the gameplay.
The enemies themselves are pretty much humanoid, Locust drones. Youll fight wave after wave of them, and while there are slight varieties that have different attributes, ranging from different weapons to helmets and armor that weaken your shots, most of the battles feel remarkably similar. They are smart, however, and theyll work as a team to get towards you, utilizing cover just as you do.
Theres a few instances in the game where things change up a bit, from the large Berserker who runs at you in a blind rage in an attempt to trample you in one hit to the Boomers (essentially larger drones) that attack with rocket launchers. There are also enemies called Wretches which are small and fast, some even blowing up when you take them down, adding a sense of urgency when they get in your face which they will. There are a few larger creatures that youll encounter as well.
While most of the game is one set-up battle after another through streets, caves, and buildings, there is one part of the game where you have to drive a vehicle through a darkened area, battling the light-hating Kryll as you do so. It adds a little diversity, but it really serves as an afterthought, especially when the rest of the game after it is just more battles on foot.
The campaign is going to last you about ten hours, which is a decent length. You really get used to the mechanics of the game and the difficulty never really eases up. There is incentive to replay the game on higher difficulties and with a friend in co-operative mode with the achievements.
When all of your campaign is done, though, there is plenty of multiplayer experience to be had. You can play split-screen co-operative of multiplayer, or bring the game online. Co-operative runs well online, but the other battles are where the replay value truly lies. You can side with the Locust or the Gears and battle online. Games offer up to eight players in a match, and theyre all team-oriented. Team work is really emphasized, and its helpful with the strong community of XBOX Live. There are plenty of niche match types, a variety of maps, and downloadable content, all making Gears of War as prominent online as it is in the living room.
The game really is a milestone in gaming today, and it does offer a full package. Gears of War has amazing visuals, solid gameplay, a satisfying campaign, and engrossing multiplayer options. In the end, the game is limited only by the relatively linear gameplay and the relatively low frequency of some of the more varied enemies. All in all, this is what a next-generation game should be, and it really has set the bar for the future.

Sticks of rock, arcade machines and battered fish aren't the only things of interest you'll find in your average seaside town. There are some fantastic, picturesque scenes of British shores to enjoy, too.
Wherever you are in the UK, the chances are you're not far away from your own secluded hideaway and a blissful holiday taking in the waves.
Below, we list some of the most picturesque seaside towns in the UK. Think we've missed somewhere? Let us know!
1. Seahouses
It's the view from Seahouses that sets it apart from its neighbours. The village – which is approximately 20km north of Alnwick and included in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – has a stunning view of both Bambrugh Castle and the Farne Islands.
Visit in the early summer to go seal and puffin spotting from the village harbour, or enjoy a tasty crab sandwich from The Olde Ship Inn.
2. Ilfracombe
North Devon boasts a whole network of sunny seaside towns lined up and begging for your attention. Ilfracombe is partway along the South West Coast Path between Woolacombe and Hele Bay, making it the perfect pit stop for worn-out walkers. Stunning white sands border the town's centre and small harbour, which is punctuated by the Hillsborough Hill landmark.
A truly picturesque seaside town, Ilfracombe boasts Victorian villas alongside an Iron Age settlement.
3. Laugharne
With one-time resident Dylan Thomas in tow, Carmarthenshire's Laugharne is home to the poet's boathouse and home, which has been transformed into a museum and café to commemorate his life and times. Consequently Laugharne has become a pilgrimage destination for literature fans the world over.
Its impressive castle outdates the Norman invasion and is still partly occupied, looming large over Bae Caerfyrddin.
4. Cove
There are few amenities in this small village in the Scottish Borders, just east of Edinburgh. In fact there's not much to do at all, besides spend several hours gawping at the frankly beautiful surroundings. Cove was once a fishing town but it's now practically abandoned, save for a few holiday homes at the top of the hill and a luxurious looking chalet on the beach.
It's the isolation of Cove bay that transforms it into a magical, restorative seaside destination.
5. Salcombe
The Devon town stands at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary and is famed for its colourful waterfront, as well as its maritime history and roots in smuggling.
With an active harbour, Salcombe is a great location for seaside lovers who prefer company and culture over a tranquil day roaming the beach.
6. Tobermory
Not forgetting the picturesque islands that border and historically protect the UK at large, Tobermory is the capital of the Isle of Mull – but don't let such a grand title mislead you. As quaint as it is serene, the village has a small population of just 980 people.
There's no beach to speak of, but the harbourside is nevertheless a splendid snapshot of Gaelic seaside heritage.
7. Tenby
The point at which the Atlantic Ocean meets the Irish Sea, Pembrokeshire's Tenby is a historic seaside town surrounded by a 13th Century medieval wall. Ruined by plague and the English Civil War in the 1600s, it was eventually put to good use again by the Victorians, who transformed it into a fashionable seaside resort.
These days the village high street is full of ice cream parlours and bucket and spade shops, but it also promotes a thriving local arts and craft scene.
8. Padstow
The Cornish village of Padstow is best known for a certain Rick Stein's involvement in the local restaurant scene.
Its Anglo-Saxon and maritime history is overshadowed by its active fishing harbour and connection to the Southern Railway, but whatever your preference, there's something for everyone in Padstow.
9. Whitby
Not the first place you think of when you imagine a bright blue sea and burning hot sky, Whitby deserves a place on our list regardless. In close proximity to the North York Moors and with everyone from Bram Stoker to Winifred Holtby singing its praises, it's no wonder we associate the seaside town with billowing winds and ruddy cheeks.
That's not to say we won't take it all back on a bright day with an ice lolly in our hand, of course.
10. Mablethorpe
Mablethorpe is the lesser known but equally as impressive cousin of Skegness. A popular destination for literary figures in the 19th Century, it was frequented by Lord Tennyson and D.H. Lawrence, amongst others, no doubt influencing Victorian poetry along the way.
These days its picturesque dunes attract families far and wide.
11. Barry
The Glamorgan seaside resort made famous by BBC hit drama Gavin & Stacey, Barry is Wales' pride and joy when it comes to lapping up some rays. With an extensive beach and seafront matched by medieval, industrial and Welsh history, it's no wonder.
If you fancy time away from the beach, Barry also has a selection of idyllic parks including but not limited to Porthkerry Park.
12. The Mumbles
The Gower Peninsula's answer to Weston-super-Mare, The Mumbles is favoured by locals and tourists alike. Sporting a penny arcade alongside several popular ice cream parlors, an old Victorian pier and – strangest of all – a Big Apple kiosk: it's the quaint, kitsch side of The Mumbles that appeals to many.
For walkers, The Mumbles stands at one end of a bird watching coastal path that will take you to some of the best surfing beaches Wales has to offer.
13. Lyme Regis
25 miles west of Dorchester, Lyme Regis goes so far as to feature in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, and also influenced British writer John Fowles who lived in the town. Home to several English Heritage sites and with a long maritime and naval history to boot, the Victorian seaside resort has been well preserved to boast idyllic architecture alongside seaside scenery.
All combines to mean Lyme Regis is one of the best holiday locations in the south – period.
14. Ventnor
The Isle of Wight's Ventnor lies on the south coast of the island, facing the English Channel and the French coast. Famed for its high temperatures, especially during the summer time, it offers a rare glimpse of perfect holiday weather within the UK. Ventnor is built on sheer cliffs, providing a daunting prospect for those who lack strong legs, but picturesque scenery all the same.
Like all the best seaside resorts, Ventnor dates back to the Victorian era.
15. Dawlish
Devon town Dawlish neighbours the better known Totnes and Paignton, but it doesn't pale in comparison. Home to maybe the best tea room this side of nowhere else, local delicacies include all of the seaside favourites: including fish and chips, clotted cream and fudge – glorious fudge.
Fancy a foodie adventure? Dawlish has got your back.
16. Bridport
Unlike many seaside towns, Bridport's local economy does not surround maritime trade. Instead, it's a market town, dating back to the Saxon era and located in South Dorset. Its focus away from the sea has perhaps done the town good, allowing it to develop on its own terms into a brilliantly sleepy destination for beach lovers.
Better yet is the view from its beach, of a towering Dorset cliff face.
17. Hayle
Lastly, the Cornish town of Hayle is subdued and sandless – but its remote harbour and green banks offer the best kind of solitude known to Britain. Despite its picturesque scenery, the town isn't rooted in history and was only formed in 1888, giving it a relatively small amount of time to develop.
Perhaps that's why so few have heard of it!

Every country has symbols that identify their culture: food, music, a flag. But what about a single word? Can a culture be accurately viewed through the lense of just one three syllable word? Well, in Argentina the answer would be yes and in this case, coming in first, without a doubt, would have to be boludo.
"Boludaaaa, sos yanqui? But you speak Spanish so well!" Yes, after two years of adopting the Argentinian lingo, I can so I do, but it wasn't always like that.
I was born in the United States but my parents are Cuban and so, I grew up speaking Spanish with my grandparents from the time I was a little girl. All of that meant very little when I arrived to Rosario and mostly thanks to this word: Boludo/a
My first experience with it was at an asado. One of the guys at the table was complaining about the fact that his utilities had been suspended because he hadn't paid his bills. "¡Que boludo que sos!" a friend replied. Was he calling him a dumbass? Did that mean that people were constantly calling me a dumbass ? It didn't make sense! "Is it a compliment or an insult?" I thought to myself. And that is just it, boludo and boluda is used for both.
The word boludo in Argentina is one of the most common words you will learn here. Where does it come from? Well, a boludo is literally someone with big balls. In history, the cannon fodder (soldiers who would go to battle on the front line) were called boludos, those that usually got killed first.
So it makes sense that today boludo is used as an insult to refer to an idiot or dumbass. If you say it to someone you don't know very well, it's considered downright offensive, but if you say it to a close friend, it's usually considered a playful insult (like the example I gave you above about my friend calling the guy a boludo for not paying his bills).
It can also used as a meaningless interjection, something like that of the word dude "Che boludo, tenés la hora?" (Dude, do you have the time?). Just like you probably wouldn't say "dude" to your boss, you might not want to use it in formal situations, or with people you don't know very well.
With that being said, there are also a few variations of boludo:
boludez (adjective) 1. something small or unimportant. 2. a piece of cake, easy
boludear (verb) 1. to mess around. 2. to bullshit or screw around with someone.
bolu (noun) 1.short for boludo
So what are you waiting for? Don't be a boludo, choose to learn Spanish in Argentina with Spanish in Rosario!

Security Slice: The SEC and Connecting Security to the Business
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is currently reviewing whether public companies should divulge more information on cyber-attacks and risks that impact their networks to their investors.
Will the SEC guidelines help companies connect security to their businesses?
Listen to Episode 77 of our Security Slice podcast and hear Tim Erlin and Dwayne Melançon discuss how the evolution of PCI can inform any decisions the SEC might make on further disclosures, why information security needs common metrics similar to those used in the financial industry, and why you cannot legislate common sense.

The Giants have signed a couple of NPB refugees and old faces, OF/1B John Bowker and LHP Travis Blackley, to minor league deals.
John Bowker played semi-regularly for the Giants in 2008 at age 24, but he wasn't the real deal and had the good sense to try his luck in Japan after his age 27 season. He hit a big home run for the Yomiuri Giants in the 2012 Nippon Series and turned it into a three-year NPB career. He hit pretty well in 2013, but faded playing for the Rakuten Golden Eagles in 2014 and finished the season in the Mexican League. He turns 32 in early July, so it's unlikely he'll be anything more than AAA roster-filler at this stage of his career.
The same is true unfortately for Blackley. An Australian, Blackley has played professional baseball just about everywhere. Aside from MLB and the minor leagues, he played in the Mexican League in 2010, South Korea's KBO in 2011, and Japan's NPB in 2014.
The NPB stint didn't work out too well, so he's back in the Giants' organization hoping to become the next Ryan Vogelsong. I don't see it happening, but at age 32 also in 2015, it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility. He pitched pretty well in NPB's minor league, and a decent 2015 season in AAA could at least get him another shot at pitching in the KBO for more money than he'll make in AAA.

The Future of Literary Journalism?
On April 3rd at the New York Public Library, writers from the New York Review of Books—who joked a bit about how old they were, and therefore not really up to the task—held forth on "the future of literary journalism," by which they meant, mainly, the ways in which it couldn't be as good as the past. Although Ian Buruma began the roundtable by saying that they wouldn't be sitting around, smoking cheroots and talking about the good old days, that's what happened. (My former professor Andrew Delbanco, to his credit for honesty, said he thought that was exactly what they'd been invited to do.) The stories were mainly about Robert B. Silvers, the Review's legendary, indefatigable, gently autocratic editor, who sat at one end of the round table with Joseph Lelyveld at the other, and talked rather vaguely about the internet.Clearly the methods of the Review—characterized positively by Buruma as "one well-paid dictator and a bunch of minions"—are going to be hard to replicate, but they've been working fine for fifty (!) years, so why stop now? The question that hovered unasked over the evening was, what happens to the Review, and what happens to literary journalism, when Bob Silvers is no longer around?
There was plenty of praise among the participants for the young, hungry, unpaid writers and editors who are running the various online journals "out there." Zoe Heller, the youngest panelist by some way, insistently raised the question of how anybody is going to get paid, and looked a little uncomfortable as the older men marveled over such little-known publications as N+1 and The Millions.The Review, they said, is a democratic institution—everybody gets paid the same, apparently—and plenty of the "minions" are paid as well. Silvers was quite open about his "opportunism" in luring writers from other publications, and it was clear that his close, personal, idiosyncratic editing process was something the writers felt as a privilege.
What nobody talked about, of course, was the other kind of privilege that gets you in the door in the first place. Nobody talked about how the Review finds its writers, nobody mentioned its dismal Vida numbers*, and the conversation was governed by a blind faith that talented young writers and editors would push their way to visibility like dandelions breaking through the asphalt of a level playing field. Like the faith that there will always be money *somewhere* in writing, that some other publication will pay its writers so we don't have to, this is a comforting fantasy, and one that sustains any number of wannabe literary journalists as well as those who've earned the right to rest on their laurels.
But we have to see that these problems are connected. Publishing and academia, like so many sections of our economy, are split unsustainably between wealthy superstars and part-time, freelance "minions" paid a few hundred bucks here and there to teach entry-level classes and churn out syndicated blurbs about new books for whatever paying book-review outlets still exist. Zoe Heller commented offhandedly that such outlets, newspaper review sections mainly, would survive because there would always be "young, hungry" journalists looking to break in. Coming from a writer who got her start on Fleet Street, that's naive in the extreme. Laura Miller recently wrote a smart and impassioned piece in Salon about Helen Zell's $50m gift to the University of Michigan MFA program, arguing that while it's lovely and admirable to support trainee literary novelists and poets, it's reckless to do so when the number of publications that will thoughtfully review their eventual books is vanishingly small. She suggested that $50m would be better spent doing something to shore up the infrastructure of literary journalism, not further buoying up dreamers who are unlikely to ever find readers.
If I'd had the guts and time to stand up at the microphone and ask a question, I'd have said this. Amazon just bought Goodreads for $150m (here's why) because it's in their interest—and to some extent, in the interests of publishers—to bypass independent critical voices and instead rely on a small army of enthusiastic, unpaid amateurs do the work of "discovery" and book promotion. If literary journalism matters, in part, as a small arena of resistance to corporate marketing and the takeover of book reviewing by algorithms, isn't it your job to ensure that you're seeking out the best new talent and taking action to correct your own biases, to nurture the best new writers and editors out there? As powerful "dictators," reputation-builders and kingmakers, you have the future of literary journalism in your hands—so what are you going to do with it?
* For the record, here are the NYRB's Vida numbers for 2012, ratios of women to men: Book reviewers 40:215, authors reviewed 89:316, bylines 36:121, overall 165:652. And at the panel, 2:4.

Horror injuries of pensioner, 84, battered in his own home by a lowlife thug who stole less than a tenner
The elderly man was tricked by Shaun Windsor who said he had chased away children from the OAP's home
A LOWLIFE thug has been jailed after he battered an 84-year-old pensioner in his own home - for NINE POUNDS.
Shaun Windsor, 36, tricked John Bennett after telling him he had chased away children banging on the OAP's door and asked him for a drink.
But when Mr Bennett let him in, Windsor punched him the ribs and beat him on the floor until he lost consciousness.
Windsor then ransacked the elderly man's home before making off with £9 in change, a tie pin with sentimental value and a watch worth just £10.
Mr Bennett managed to raise the alarm in Willenhall, West Mids., and he was rushed to hospital on June 11.
Horrific pictures show Mr Bennett's face with severe bruising under his eyes and doctors treated him for a broken nose and cracked ribs.

Windsor, who was already in prison for another offence carried out the next day, was caught after his DNA was found on a mug in Mr Bennett's home.
Windsor, of no fixed abode, was jailed for nine years and four months at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday.
Detective Inspector Jackie Nicholson, from Walsall Police, said: "This was a brutal attack on an elderly man, made even worse by the fact that the value of the property stolen was so small.
"The long term effects on the victim are severe, he is still suffering dizzy spells and balance problems, which is preventing him from riding his motorbikes − a personal pleasure which he has now been denied.
"I am pleased that Windsor spared Mr Bennett the ordeal of a trial and pleaded guilty to the offence.
"Windsor is a career criminal and deserves to spend a considerable amount of time behind bars where he can no longer be a danger to the public."

UBS Pays $445 Million to Settle Mortgage Securities Probe
This is a bloomberg.com article.
UBS Group AG has paid $445 million to settle National Credit Union Administration claims that the bank contributed to the collapse of corporate credit unions by selling them faulty mortgage-backed securities, the regulator said in a statement on Monday.
NCUA said the settlement — which Zurich-based UBS agreed to without admitting or denying wrongdoing — closes a lawsuit filed in 2012 and is the latest in a series of deals struck with banks accused of improper sales to five corporate credit unions that failed. The agency had already recovered $79.3 million from UBS last year in a related claim.
