1 Josephus here follows Herodotus, and those that related how Cyrus made war with the Scythians and Massagets, near the Caspian Sea, and perished in it; while Xenophon's account, which appears never to have been seen by Josephus, that Cyrus died in peace in his own country of Persia, is attested to by the writers of the affairs of Alexander the Great, when they agree that he found Cyrus's sepulcher at Pasargadae, near Persepolis. This account of Xenophon is also confirmed by the circumstances of Cambyses, upon his succession to Cyrus, who, instead of a war to avenge his father's death upon the Scythians and Massagets, and to prevent those nations from overrunning his northern provinces, which would have been the natural consequence of his father's ill success and death there, went immediately to an Egyptian war, long ago begun by Cyrus, according to Xenophon, p. 644, and conquered that kingdom; nor is there, that I ever heard of, the least mention in the reign of Cambyses of any war against the Scythians and Massagets that he was ever engaged in all his life.

Right around this time every summer, those pesky commercials start to come on about "Back to School" sales. "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" I have a confession…Those commercials give me some anxiety, but mostly positive excitement.
A new school year is a new beginning. No matter what age you are. If you are a student, then it is a new year with new teachers. If you are a professional, it is a new year with new students. Either way, we are all facing new challenges and celebrating new successes.

Intelligent, beautiful, vivacious and talented are the words most frequently used when describing glamorous Actress/Singer/icon Kathleen Bradley, who made history in the fall of 1990, as the first African American model to join ranks with "Barker's Beauties", on theThe Price Is Right for 10 years.
She portrayed one of the most memorable characters in the hit feature film, "Friday" as Mrs. Parker, the sexy next-door neighbor to (executive producer/writer/actor) Ice Cube and mega-star Chris Tucker.
Recent film credits include; "Bitter Inheritance" and "She's the One". She can also be seen in "Casino Comedy" starring Eddie Griffin, "Unconditional Love" with Henry Silva and Tracy Ross. Other feature film credits include Eddie Murphy's, "Harlem Nights", and "Troop Beverly Hills".
Her most accomplished role to date was the lead role of Vashti, in the compelling movie "Perfume" written and directed by Dr. Roland Jefferson which was nominated by the NAACP Image Awards for Best Original Screen Play in 1987.
Kathleen started her entertainment career early at the age of 8, in her home town of Girard, Ohio, just two miles east of Youngstown. Shortly after graduating, Kathleen moved to Los Angeles where she was soon to reign supreme by winning numerous beauty titles, including Miss Black America California in 1971.
Kathleen made her singing debut on the French Riviera in St. Tropez with six other female beauties, known as The Love Machine.The group shared the stage with many well-known entertainers, such as; Sammy Davis Jr., Julio Iglesias, Tom Jones, Redd Foxx, and Duke Ellington, just to name a few.
Her first love acting soon came back into focus. She guest starred and co-starred on such shows as;Good Times, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, Redd Foxx Show, Divorce Court, Amen, and A Different World. Ms. Bradley's stage credits include the musical comedy/drama "Charlene" in which she had the lead role. At the Westwood Playhouse she played the sensuous, sophisticated "Lil" in the 1940's style musical/comedy "Color of The Blues."
Currently co-hosting two new Talk shows, "Once Upon a Lifetime People and Pioneers" a documentary web series. "For Women" is deliberative conversation among four intelligent and concerned women reaching out on an international level to empower women from all walks of life.
Kathleen has proven to be a wonderful humanitarian and an outstanding role model for our nation's youth, due to her diligent efforts and five years of dedicated service as Producer/Teen Talent Coordinator of Project Peace-16 Multi-Media Human Services, Inc. (a non-profit organization) which provides a spectrum of national programming for TV shows, Commercials, 30/60 second PSA's and Human Interest Programs focusing on educating youth of all races on the importance of human dignity, education, equal opportunity and social-economic advancement.

Here we have another event by Global Church, for their Student Christmas Carol Service.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
A remake of one of my favorite movies, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, is currently in production. I'm confident it will fall far short of the original. If you've never seen the 1974 thriller about a hijack-for-extortion scheme on a NYC subway, do yourself a favor and rent it. Why won't the new one be any good? First of all, the original was set in decaying, menacing New York of the 1970's; in other words, when it looked like a real city. Second, you'll never see another cast of character actors like this--not a pretty face in the lot. It includes Walter Matthau, Martin Balsam, Hector Elizondo, Jerry Stiller, Doris Roberts (Raymond's mom!), and Robert Shaw as the icy "Mr. Blue." The huge ensemble is rounded out by characters who are identified only by politically-incorrect labels such as "the Hippie," "the Pimp," and "the Spanish Woman." And then there's the subway train, hurtling through the tunnel at high speed, and big 70's era police cars crashing into each other. Two thumbs up!

Sports, Music, Art – Social Media: it all brings people together. Not that the Canucks didn't have to work harder and faster, or visualize better than ever, during Game 5 of the playoffs last night. But we all know that them being in their hometown, with a crowd well beyond Roger's Arena (100,000 people celebrated downtown), gave them the heart, the lift to win in what was their one chance to turn things around.
The same goes for anything we want to accomplish. We don't do well when left on our own. It's the willingness of our support network for us to attain our goals that makes us successful.
A social network (our own fans) comes into play when life is too complex for things to go as planned, no matter how great strategists we may be. Relationships steer us in the right direction, lifting up our energy, giving us more reasons to do what we had planned to do.
When I was running a crew of painters in the Motion Picture industry, it was them, my team, who kept me going, despite the gruesome hours, the communication differences I experienced for being a woman in a male-dominated field, and the demands of being a single mother.
You may be down on your luck, thinking you don't have anyone who cares about what you do other than your dog. Well, there's hope. The good news is that a lot of people can relate to that. Pretty much all of us are isolated, trying to pay bills. Lots of those people (and that includes me) use social media. And in social media, it's not "Word of Mouth" but "World of Mouth", as Erik Qualman, author of Socialnomics, would say. Imagine – we have a chance – to use a viral network system in communicating what is close to our heart. One person finds your tweet interesting, tags it and sends it to 200 people. Of those 200 people, 14 might find it interesting, and sends it to his network, etc. Soon, you have enough followers to keep you focused, to keep you on a path that leads you to become more competent, and to lead you to success.
If you find your strengths (I personally found mine in the Clifton`s assessment and focus on what you truly enjoy (and that comes with some reinforcement of course), then you have something very valuable to offer. Bring consistent and dedicated efforts into it, you find success. You have new tools to get the support of people, re-evaluate your course, find your way. You might even have some previous success to draw from, and it's that feeling every Canucks' win helps you remember.
In the hockey's 1954-55 season, Maurice Richard lost his heart for the game, when he got suspended from the playoffs, incensing his fans and leading to the Richard Riot. His barber, a humble man, helped the great hockey player shift his mind. It sounded like this: "You know Maurice, it's been a long time since Quebec has won anything. Come back next year, we need to win."
These Stanley Cup Finals have had a rallying effect on the 2nd and 3rd generation Canadians, as I've witnessed on the streets of Vancouver. It's important to know we belong to a common goal. That's what unites us. Hence, casual fans like me, who otherwise have their nose to the grounds and don't watch a game because there is no time, will not miss the next two games. The very least we'll get out of it is the invigorating feeling that we are together in this.

Grant Wood's Iowa not—what
did you call it?—my Ohio.
Nothing mine about it, especially not
those creatures scurrying, resentfully
alive, on the sides of snaking roads and somehow
more unsettling than the remnant dead.
For two years I try not to have anything.
Instead, I imagine Grant Wood in Paris.
How unlikely the time a certain kind
of American spends in Europe,
wondering what exactly he is. I suppose
for some it doesn't matter:
anywhere but home is home, which is how
I thought of myself. Not so. Not so
for Grant Wood, hopelessly American and in
the dark middle of the nation from which
no traveler returns. Picture him ensconced at home,
his bitter family crowded around to watch
him at a favorite pursuit: tableaux vivants.
Wood reclines, Wood supplicates, Wood reaches
up to a wordless heaven.
I know that stillness
from his cartoon swells of hill and field.
Picture him a latter-day Antigone,
able to speak but unwilling. There is
something in his paintings
of the burden of what he could never say.
Sometimes the only choice is
to be buried alive. My Ohio. I say it over
and over again. In the corner of the window,
on the corner of a street in Mount Vernon,
the glassy eye of the stag stares at no one.
You can see that particular look
in the eyes of men buried alive by longing.
Are they not everywhere around here,
nearly turned to stone by their own
reluctance? I know those men, casting about like
wolves afraid of their own teeth.
Something about the sky says,
Take this land. In the end, the land wins.
What heaven, Grant Wood, were you
looking for that you could not find
in crooked stiles puncturing the soil
along the broken roads of America?
You wanted to love it, but you couldn't understand
the shame was a form of love.
It is dark here, especially tonight,
and far too quiet. I cannot stay
any longer waiting for you. But I will
follow the road you've left,
to the house on the hill in the dream of the sky,
and I will wait for the stars to swing open a door.
Natural Selections, by Joseph Campana

Python pals reunited?
FORMER Monty Python stars John Cleese and Michael Palin have been discussing working together again for the first time in more than a decade.
The pair met last month while Cleese, who lives in California, was in London after his £12million divorce from third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
Speaking on Michael Ball's Radio 2 show, Palin, 66, revealed that they were chatting about old times then Cleese, 69, said: "Wouldn't it be good to act again?"
Palin said: "I saw John the other night and we were saying it would be nice to do some acting again, so you never know."
The pair starred together in the hit movie A Fish Called Wanda in 1988 and its sequel Fierce Creatures in 1997.
Palin's agent said there were no definite plans yet for the pair to work together.

HOPE – Art often involves math; sometimes, it involves science, and it frequently requires an understanding of history. The interdisciplinary nature of art that is brought to the Hope Public Schools through the Arts in Education program is a side effect of a series of classes taught by Artist in Residence Sue Allen Pico.
Pico is an Arkansa artists who is part of a wide range of arts contributors to the program through the Arkansas Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage. She is available to the Hope Public Schools through a grant program in conjunction with the Southwest Arkansas Arts Council.
"I bring something to the subject that is not in the textbooks," Pico, of Shirley, said as she closed a week of classes at Hope High School with Kendrick Adams' students.
Pico specializes in creating a realization in students that they can create art.
"Everybody has heard the idea that, 'You can't draw,'" she said. "I don't believe that. Talent is overrated; anybody who practices enough can be good. Perhaps, not Michelangelo; but, they can be good enough to draw."
Pico put that premise into action through the week with Adams' first year, first semester students.
"There will be a few that will get excited and continue on," she said.
For the most part, the week introduces students in classes such as Adams' high school class to a variety of ideas wrapped in artistic expression. The first part of the week, the students created Native American "dream catchers," a woven art form. Pico integrated the project with tales from her family's early settlement in Arkansas from the Dakota Territory.
"Art may be for some students the only success they have in an educational environment," she said.
Integrating history, math and other academics into the creative process helps to build a foundation for students. Pico likes to lay the foundation and let classroom teachers take over.
"I teach myself out of a job," she quipped.
The second part of the week in Adams' class were studies in calligraphy and cartooning; diverse, yet related art forms.
"I wanted her to teach something that I hadn't taught," Adams said.
Pico also teaches self-discipline while students enjoy the different art forms.
"They have to follow instructions in using the calligraphy pens; they have to do the measuring, because if they don't, their work will show it," she said. "If they get lazy, it will show up."
Calligraphy requires specific movement and focused attention, while cartooning requires an attention to placement and consistency, both of which instill aspects of self-discipline.

What Is American Greatness?
April 10 - April 11, 2018
The Broadmoor
Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminars are held in various locations across the country two times each year and address issues of politics, economics, and culture.
The first program was held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1982 with about 200 business, education, and community leaders in attendance. Since then, more than 30,000 individuals have attended the programs.
The messages of these conferences have reached millions of Americans through Hillsdale's national speech digest, Imprimis, as well as through coverage by media outlets including Newsweek, the Wall Street Journal, C-SPAN, and National Public Radio.

Caring for Special Needs During Disasters: Senate subcommittee asks, who's accountable?
2010-06-17 · By Editor
Congresswoman Laura Richardson, chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emergency Communications, Preparedness and Response, pushed for an increase in accountability, resources, outreach and planning for providing quick and direct help for people who may require special aid during disasters, such as people with limited transportation options, elderly with mobility and hearing challenges, the poor, people with disabilities, children, and individuals with varying levels of language proficiency.
During yesterday's subcommittee hearing, "Caring for Special Needs during Disasters: What's being done for Vulnerable Populations?", Congresswoman Richardson questioned the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) ability to meet the needs of these substantial populations and reached out to representatives and leaders for organizations and agencies who are concerned about and advocate on behalf of these special needs groups.
"When it comes to disaster planning, the needs for all are great; therefore, those with greater accessibility issues should not be left as a second or separate thought for window dressing," Congresswoman Richardson said. "The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 included many reforms to provide FEMA with the necessary tools and leadership to integrate "need" related issues into the overall emergency preparedness plan."
One of the key highlights of the hearing was Congresswoman Richardson's early questioning that outlined, for the record, FEMA's shortsighted implementation of only budgeting $150,000 for a department to serve 300 million residents across the United States. Congresswoman Richardson successfully, in a bipartisan way, gained a commitment from the subcommittee's ranking member, Congressman Michael Rogers, and Homeland Security Chairman Congressman Bennie Thompson to advise the President and Administration of the Congressional concerns.
Further, Congresswoman Richardson emphasized the unique needs of children during a disaster and how that group can have needs that are unique from other vulnerable populations.
"If a disaster strikes during operating school hours, it would leave the students, school administrators and staff and parents in a situation where more than safety drills are needed," Congresswoman Richardson added. "In the 37th Congressional District, there are hundreds of schools ranging from preschool through college located within 20 miles of the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, major transportation corridors and other possible targets of large-scale hostile attacks, not to mention the real possibility of earthquakes or other natural disasters and public health emergencies. With these circumstances, it is vital that the schools in high risk or rural communities across the nation be involved with the planning and are ready to act quickly and effectively if a disaster happens."
At the hearing, Los Angeles County Office of Education Deputy Superintendent Jon Grundy voiced his support for Congresswoman Richardson's "Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Preparedness Planning Act" (H.R. 4898), which would establish a competitive program to make emergency preparedness planning and implementation grants to local education districts and agencies located in areas under a high threat of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, or public health emergencies, and he pointed out the high level of importance in having comprehensive plans and resources in place in his district before, during and after an emergency.
"Although most schools and school districts have emergency plans in place, they are generally not as comprehensive as they should be and not well coordinated with other agencies and school districts," Grundy said. "This is primarily due to the fact that they are not given an active role in regional emergency planning, they lack the expertise of many other public agencies in emergency planning and they do not have sufficient funding to do the necessary planning and preparation. While we believe we do a good job of coordinating emergency planning and response among Los Angeles County school districts, there is still a need for better training and closer collaboration among county agencies. For this reason, we urge the creation of a system of school alert and response networks on a local or regional basis that would more closely coordinate with emergency response agencies and school districts, not only in LA County, but in all regions of the country that are under a high threat of terrorist attack, natural disaster, or public health emergency."

Last Edge of Elsewhere project opens this week - Art Collector
|Brook Andrew Banjo, 2011. Production still. Courtesy the artist, IMAGI and Tolarno Galleries. Commissioned by Campbelltown Arts Centre and 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art for Edge of Elsewhere
|9 January 2012 | Richard Bell, Brook Andrew, Lisa Reihana, Michael Tuffery and Newell Harry are among the 13 artists participating in the third and last Edge of Elsewhere project, which opens this Saturday 14 January 2012.
A joint project between Campbelltown Arts Centre and 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, the Edge of Elsewhere series asked artists from Australia, Asia and the Pacific to create new work in partnership with Sydney communities. The experimental project aimed to bring contemporary art into local communities and test new models of engaging with the public.
Among the projects, New Zealand artist Michel Tuffery last month invited local teenagers to cohabit with local livestock in a housing estate in Minto for a day. The performance-based work saw five large black Limousin bulls living with the local youths in a seemingly normal suburban lounge room over a 12-hour period. The resulting work draws on the local area's rich agricultural history.
Also participating are Arahmaiani, Dacchi Dang, FX Harsono, Shigeyuki Kihara, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Khaled Sabsabi, Phaptawan Suwannakudt and Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries.
Part of the Sydney Festival program, the exhibition runs from 14 January to 18 March 2012 across two venues in Sydney, Gallery 4A in inner-city Haymarket and the Campbelltown Arts Centre in Campbelltown.

Emily Castle ran away from her home and the love of her life, Boone Dorsett, to live her dream of becoming an interior designer. After she left Boone found another woman got married and had a little boy, BJ.
Emily returns home to help after a huge storm. She finds Boone, not a successful restaurant owner and widow. They realize their feelings are still there and decide to give it another try. But will the former in-laws allow them to succeed in their relationship? Will fate be on their side?
I love the setting of Sand Castle Bay. The small picturesque town with the wonderful small town diner and restaurants. I work in a small family diner and know exactly what Cora Jane, Emily's grandmother, feels when her diner gets damaged during the storm. The fact that all "her girls" come rushing home to help her save the diner and get her life back on track made this a feel good story. A story of family above everything.
Instead of picking one character and rooting for them I was just hoping for a happy ending. Emily and Boone needed to figure out how to make things work. The fact that Gabi and Sam, Emily's sisters, also come home and show 100% support for Emily even when they do not always agree made me think of the relationship me and my sister have and how I am sure we would do the same for each other. Cora Jane's meddling, however good intending it was, made me laugh. I see my mom in her. Always wanting control and what is best for her girls.
Sherryl Woods wrote a great novel and I cannot wait to get the next one in this series and lost myself in it. I cannot wait to see what Cora Jane and Sherryl have in story for Gabi and Sam. I am sure there are a lot more great stories to be told in Sand Castle Bay.

The muralists wanted to create a piece based on current events to "draw people in and make a statement," said Melo. He said he wasn't surprised by the news of Detroit's bankruptcy, "It's just another day in Detroit."
Melo and Ayem used 8 different overlapping colors to create a 3-D effect which took over 6 hours to finish. The artists intended to liven up their message of bankruptcy with color. "Art- and graffiti-are bringing back Detroit," said Melo and Ayem. The mural is unfinished according to artists, who plan to add their names or satirical characters relating to Detroit's fiscal crisis.
"These guys, they're amazing," said Derek Weaver, managing director of 4731 and the GRCC, who helped Melo and Ayem secure the location for the mural. Weaver said for years the building was vandalized. "We repainted it with something artistic, with a powerful message. It is better than looking at gang-like graffiti," said Weaver. With adjacent GRCC studios on the block, Weaver had no problem getting permission from the building owner who allowed them to create whatever they wanted on the side of the building.

This is an article from Jens Pas, the EuroSTAR programme chair for 2006 which was published in the first edition of the EuroSTAR Newsletter. It is entitled 'It's about people' and pays special attention to the importance of people issues within the testing profession.
You can view the entire EuroSTAR newsletter by clicking here
My biggest surprise when reading all the submissions was that so many people really sent in proposals very closely related the theme of the conference "Assembling the Dream Team". Many of you have a lot of experience to share when we talk about people issues. Thank you for providing us with all this real life experience. You allow us to offer our delegates a very interesting and, most important, "human" conference.
Aside from the submissions, I also experienced what people can be and can do. As I already said, 20 reviewers and a Program Committee have voluntarily processed the submissions. In addition, many have provided us with great ideas we might want to incorporate into the conference to make it even more interesting, fun and innovative. Combine the lively EuroSTAR-community with the professional team of Qualtech, who manage this event, and you have a highly energizing cocktail. Everybody is very motivated to make this conference 'the' event of the year for the European Testing Community. It is this testing community that has given me the energy to try to distill a program that, I hope, you will appreciate. It's a luxury to be able to work under these pleasant conditions.
If we look more closely at the topics people are proposing, you'll notice a lot is about communication and the 'issues' this generates. It seems that, as opposed to the clear and well defined TCP/IP standards computers use to communicate, we, humans have a lot of trouble in understanding each other. When a computer has a communication hick-up, such as packet-collision, it simply sends the information again. When humans collide…well, they collide… and that's about it. Communication stops.
On top of that, we seem to live in different worlds. IT professionals have their language, business people use another. Developers even have a different dialect it seems, compared to testers. So, we not only have the challenge of managing a communication process, we have compatibility issues.
I guess everyone has experienced what I describe above. This is confirmed by the vast amount of testimonials that came in with the presentation proposals. As I read through all these papers I saw that many people have found their own way of dealing with this challenge. Some use discussion techniques, such as the Six Thinking Hats of De Bono. We will address the use of the Hats for testing at the conference. Others perform a team analysis to improve communication and co-operation. And again others discuss the infrastructure that we need to be able to optimally work together. They propose frameworks for value setting of the team allowing organisations to assemble a team that has a compatible set of working values. There are even standards and certificates which can be deployed in your organisation to improve the interaction between people. All this will be discussed in Manchester.
Each of these solutions contributes to making a group of people a team that generate value. 1+ 1 = 3 as they say.
In the next edition of this newsletter, I look forward to being able to announce the official conference programme. Names will appear and I hope you'll like them. After all, it's all about people.
Let me conclude this first article by repeating a metaphor I used in Copenhagen, last year, when I invited you to come to Manchester:
Take two glasses of water, half filled. Pour the water of one glass into the other glass. You now have one full glass of water. The beauty is that you cannot see anymore which water came from which glass. They are stirred, not shaken, into a transparent homogeneous drink. Wouldn't it be great if our software team would be like this glass of water, a Dream Team assembling great software.
I look forward meeting you in Manchester.
Best Regards

Community Action Teams (CAT)
The Glendale Police Department is dedicated to working with citizens toward identifying and resolving community problems. Formed in 1994, each of the now seven Community Action Teams - CAT consists of a civilian Crime Prevention Specialist and a Police Officer. The goal of the Community Action Teams is to utilize the Community Oriented Policing philosophy by providing the necessary tools to eliminate or reduce crime through educational programs and enforcement.
In 1995, the Community Action Teams were recognized by the International Society of Crime Prevention Practitioners as the "Unit of the Year". The award was given for having the best crime prevention and outstanding community oriented policing program. That same year the Glendale Police Department also named the Community Action Teams as the "Unit of the Year".
Whether you're a homeowner, business owner, apartment manager or resident, the Community Action Teams strive to provide programs and services that positively impact our citizen's quality of life, as well as reinforce the strengths and needs of neighborhoods.
The Community Action Teams serve as pro-active problem solvers. They utilize team building, community resources and numerous programs to solve neighborhood and business issues. Current programs include; Neighborhood Watch, The Eyes of Glendale Neighborhood Watch Newsletter, G.A.I.N. - Getting Arizona Involved In Neighborhoods, Home and Business Security Surveys, Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, MAC - Managers Against Crime, and miscellaneous Crime Prevention Presentations. The coordination of some programs rotates yearly between the civilian Crime Prevention Specialists.
Through our programs, we practice and carry out the employee mission statement: "A partnership of employees and community working together to create a better quality of life for Glendale."
If you have an ongoing problem in your neighborhood or business, contact your Community Action Team (CAT).
Prevention Presentations
Community Action Teams offer crime prevention information and presentations to the citizens of Glendale. These free presentations cover numerous topics including personal safety, child safety, burglary and auto theft prevention, when to call 911, back to school safety, identity crime prevention, senior and holiday safety.
The presentations work well for Neighborhood Watch groups, civic groups, neighborhood associations, PTA/PTO's, schools and "brown bag lunch seminars". Presentations are conducted on an as requested basis according to the needs of the community.

Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program
The Glendale Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a free program designed to help owners and managers of rental properties keep drugs and other illegal activity off their property. The purpose of this program is to educate the landlords and their residents on how to improve the livability of their neighborhoods by reducing crime and taking steps toward providing a clean and safe living environment for the citizens of Glendale.
The Glendale Crime Free Multi-Housing Program has been carefully developed and reviewed by police, community leaders, and legal advisors. This program effectively deals with illegal activity on rental property, while providing the residents with the best protection against crime and violent criminals.
This program is honest and direct, it is solution oriented, and is designed to be easy and very effective in reducing crime on rental properties. It has three key elements that will ensure the crime prevention goal:
Crime Prevention Specialists coordinate the program with their officer partners. They host quarterly Phase One Staff Training workshops each year.
To address the crime problem in rental communities requires a unique coalition of owners, property management, managers and staff, residents, and the police. The most effective way to deal with any illegal activity on rental property is through a coordinated crime prevention effort. The success of this program is on the rise. In 2002, there were 100 attendees for the phase one workshops. 2003 saw a 75% increase in attendance with a total of 175 attendees.
Managers Against Crime – MAC:
Apartment community managers and staff are invited to attend monthly Managers Against Crime - MAC meetings. The MAC Program is an offshoot of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. It provides ongoing training for managers and staff. Meetings are hosted in various communities throughout the city of Glendale on a rotational basis. Community managers suggest topics that may include: auto theft prevention, landlord tenant law, trespassing, hazardous materials cleanup/disposal, gangs, code compliance and domestic violence.
Participation increased in 2003, due in large part to a random phone survey conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of this program. We asked apartment managers to evaluate the program and provide suggestions for improvement. The goal of this program is to provide valuable crime prevention information and tools that managers and staff can bring back to their residents in order to improve the quality of life on their properties.
MAC meetings facilitate communication between neighboring and citywide communities. MAC successfully creates a forum for the Glendale Police Department and apartment communities to work together in partnership and address neighborhood issues.
Home and Business Security Surveys
The goal of a Home or Business Security Survey is to evaluate and provide suggestions for a home or business owner to decrease their chances of becoming a victim of crime. In 2003, the City-S.A.F.E. program designated May as Household Safety Month. Over 50 Home Security Surveys were conducted that month and numerous other home and business surveys were completed throughout the year.
During a Home or Business Security Survey, a Community Action Team representative inspects a premises including lights, locks, and landscaping. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, C.P.T.E.D., recommendations are then provided for improving the safety and security of the premises. The time needed to complete a survey depends on the size of the individual home or business.
C.P.T.E.D. is the proper design and effective use of the built environment in order to lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life. C.P.T.E.D. can be achieved through five basic principles and concepts applied to specific sites and situations. These principles include Natural Surveillance, Access Control, Territoriality, Activity Support, and Maintenance. The Community Action Teams present information for understanding the applications of each principle to home and/or business owners enabling them to improve their surroundings and quality of life.

Neighborhood Watch
The Basics
A simple program, Neighborhood Watch is dedicated to improving the quality of life in Glendale's neighborhoods. The foundation of the program is built upon citizens and police working in partnership. Basically, a Neighborhood Watch is a cohesive body of concerned citizens coming together to address common issues that affect their neighborhood.
The goal of the Community Action Teams is to facilitate communication between residents by conducting initial neighborhood meetings. During the meeting residents learn about neighborhood crime statistics, personal and home safety information and are provided with crime prevention materials. It empowers the citizens of Glendale and helps to reduce their chances of being victimized by crime through education and teamwork.
Quarterly, the "Eyes of Glendale" newsletter is published by the Community Action Team Coordinator. Neighborhood Watch Captains and Co-Captains receive this newsletter providing valuable information on crime prevention and safety concerns as well as upcoming events. This information is not copy written therefore it may be shared with your neighbors.
Why Neighborhood Watch?
Whether you live in a high crime area or not, a comprehensive Neighborhood Watch program offers numerous benefits for your area. Such programs instill a greater sense of security, well-being, and reduce the fear of crime in your neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch helps instill a greater "sense of community," by putting the neighbor back into neighborhood. Here are some of the other benefits you can expect by participating in Glendale's Neighborhood Watch program:
How much work is involved?
This is a fair question and the answer depends on you. Some areas have major concerns, requiring some work; others just want to maintain their area and don't want to spend a great deal of time on it. In order to be recognized as an "active" Neighborhood Watch group you must have at least two (2) meetings within a calendar year. These could include a clean-up day, ice cream social, BBQ, educational program, etc. Also annually Neighborhood Watch audit paperwork must be updated.
The role of the Neighborhood Watch Captain
The Neighborhood Watch captain serves as the coordinator and liaison of the group. It is up to the Neighborhood Watch captain to serve as a spokesperson, schedule group activities, supply your CAT representative with required information, and coordinate neighborhood activities and communication. Likewise, the captain should:
The role of the members
Everyone in the Neighborhood Watch plays an important part in the success of the program! Members should learn the names of their neighbors and the kinds of cars they drive. They should keep a copy of the Neighborhood Watch map and telephone tree readily accessible. In fact, the role of individual members includes attending meetings, watching out for suspicious activity, displaying Neighborhood Watch signs, and assisting the police by learning how to become a good witness. Furthermore, individual members should also schedule a Home Security Survey for recommendations on making their homes safer and more crime resistant. But above all, being a member means getting involved. If you don't do it, who will? Neighborhood Watch is quite simply the most effective way to reduce or prevent crime while improving the quality of life in your neighborhood.
Neighborhood Programs
The Glendale Police Department offers a wide variety of presentations about crime prevention. Consider using these presentations for your Neighborhood Watch meetings. With the exception of the Home Security Survey, the following programs are designed for group presentation:
Community and Police Working Together
Every neighborhood has its own personality that makes it unique. What works in one area, may not work in another. When starting a Neighborhood Watch be creative and include others on your team. Remember, there is strength in numbers. Criminal justice professionals readily admit that in the absence of citizen assistance, neither more manpower, nor improved technology, nor additional money will enable law enforcement to shoulder the monumental burden of combating crime in America. Teamwork between neighbors—and the police—is what Neighborhood Watch is all about.

Firefighters put their lives on the line every day. Along with the obvious dangers they face, on-the-job stress takes a toll on their cardiovascular system. But you don't need to be a firefighter to be at risk. Living a high stress lifestyle can boost anyone's odds of developing heart disease.
Kyolic Formula 110 is a unique blend of Aged Garlic Extract and Coenzyme Q10, two powerhouse nutrients that can help protect your heart by supporting healthy cholesterol, circulation, blood pressure and arterial health.
If the nutrients in Kyolic Formula 110 can help guard firefighters from effects of stress, just think of what it can do for you!
Research shows that firefighters are two to four times more vulnerable for heart attack or other cardiac events on the job compared to the rest of us. But here's the good news: a recent UCLA clinical study on firefighters suggests that taking Kyolic Formula 110 may help improve heart health in a variety of ways.

Annals of Aldamere
Character Classes
If background is where you come from, class is what you've become. Classes are both mythic archetypes and frameworks for your character's advancement.
For the Portals of Aldamere campaign you have the choice of three classes:
Class Descriptions
Primary Abilities. A class has four primary abilities. These are the abilities most important tot he class and the ones used most often.
Secondary Abilities. A class has five secondary abilities. These are not as important as the primary abilities as far as what the class does — but can be important nonetheless.
Starting Health. This is the starting Hit Points for the class.
Weapon Groups. These are the types of weapons your character is trained in at Character Creation and based on his or her class choice. Characters are free to learn other types of weapons.
Class Powers. These are the special powers each class gets as they advance in level.
Gaining Levels
As a character advances in level he or she receives certain benefits.
- Your character's Health increases by 1d6 + Constitution. At 10th level or higher a character's health only increases by Constitution per level.
- A single HERO POINT to spend or save as you like. Characters may never "bank" more than 4 Hero points. See HERO POINTS regarding the spending of such.
- You can pick one new ability focus. If you gained an even numbered level, you must choose a focus from one of your Primary Abilities. If you gained an odd numbered level, you must choose a focus from one of your secondary abilities. Starting at level 11, you can select a focus you already have to increase your bonus with that focus from +2 to +3.
- You gain class powers for your new level. See class description for details.


text: Ugh, so here's the issue....my sister-in-law is causing major regressions in Mud's training. She has a lab mix who is allowed on furniture, allowed to jump on people, allowed to eat scraps, etc. Mud has always been very good about staying off of furniture, not begging, and not jumping. I've spent a lot of time getting her to be a polite member of the household, and she's wonderful. But here lately everytime someone sits down I'm having to tell her to get off the new leather couch, or having to get her off of a visitor and put her in a sit-stay to let them pet her. I've told my sister-in-law a thousand times to stop this. It's caused very obvious new behaviors with Mud, and I'm not exactly thrilled. Last night she ate at our house and kept calling Mud to her to take bits of food. Naturally, in only a few times Mud was hovering near her. I took to tossing treats far in the opposite direction every time my sister-in-law called Mud over, but still... This is incredibly frustrating and I don't like seeing regression in training. Pissed off my sister-in-law, but I don't care. The only idea I have for the food is teaching her "YUCK"--turning her face away every time 'people food' is offered. I don't mind using cooked meats for training, but I am not going to have a beggar when she wasn't even a beggar when I got her. Talking to my sister-in-law is obviously not doing anything--I've beat the issue to death trying to get her to stop. I'm not sure what to do about the food except for the "YUCK" command, which is a cute trick anyway. As for the couch, I'm at a loss. Every time she so much as raises a paw towards the couch, I give an "Ah-ah" and she'll sit and wait for petting. But the fact that she's still trying after a couple weeks is irritating, because Mud knows better. If you ignore her instead, she'll leap on the couch. My parents have told me that while I wasn't home, if she was excited and playing around the house, she would leap on the couch and have herself a seat. They don't allow this either, and they handle it exactly as I do--so I know it's not a consistently problem, aside from my sister-in-law. My parents have tried to tell her to stop as well and she just doesn't see it as a problem. What can I do to teach Mud to ignore the things my sister-in-law is instilling in her?

In fact, we've been making all sorts of amazing stuff lately.
In honor of that cake, I melted this.
Cold Rating: 8.5/10
Lit Rating: 9/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 9/10; this scent was lick the air good, holy cow! It smelled just like a fresh batch of cake batter ready to be turned into delicious, fluffy dessert. So, so good. Slowly turning into a bakery lover one scent (like this) at a time. A tremendously phenomenal throw unlike that I have experienced personally from Up The Creek. Becoming a believer in the wax again. Luscious, velvety cake that almost smells like caramel or butterscotch mixed in with said cake. That wonderful scent lingering in the air for hours after you pull out a fresh baked cake out of the oven. Not eating it before it cools is a pain in the ass. Licking the beaters as a child. And, who am I kidding, as an adult. Memories of cooking with mom and grandma. Lasted 5 hours. REPURCHASE FOR SURE!!!

We are so excited about the Arrival of the Newest WubbaNub...the Giraffe! Isn't she just the Sweetest? I assume she is a 'she', but I guess she can be what ever your little one wants her (him) to be. They Just Arrived!! They are very hot so don't wait to order yours or you might miss out!
The WubbaNub company confirmed that although they are flying out of their warehouse fast, our full order has been filled, so we will have them in our store any day now. The last time WubbaNub introduced a new member to the WubbaNub family they sold out almost immediately and may stores where put on a back order list for months. These are so cute, I can see that happening again this time.
But you can make sure that your little one gets a Giraffe by placing an Order for one, or heck even two Now! They just arrived in our store and are ready to be shipped!

SaferCar.gov and Edmunds.com provide information about the January 2015 recall of Goodyear Fortera HL tires manufactured from November 30, 2014 to January 10, 2015. These tires were installed on new Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured by General Motors, so recall information is also available at Recalls.GM.com.
Consumers can visit the homepage of SaferCar.gov, a website maintained by the U.S. Department of Transportation, to access reliable information on tire recalls by clicking the Tires link in the Search for All Recalls section. Selecting Goodyear from the Brand Name drop-down menu and Fortera HL from the Tire Line drop-down menu brings up the recall notice.
Edmunds.com maintains an archive of recall information for most makes and models of vehicles on its website. Interested parties can find the recall notice for Goodyear Fortera HL tires in the Car News section and the recall information sections for the affected vehicles.
Another way new-car owners can access reliable information about the recall is by entering a vehicle identification number into the GM Recall Information database at Recalls.GM.com or by contacting the dealership that sold the vehicle. Consumers who purchased replacement Fortera HL tires without purchasing a car can call Goodyear customer service at 1-800-592-3267 for more information.

FOR TODAYOutside my window...I see the cool morning dawning.
I am thinking...about how I am going to ask to get some of the morning off tomorrow so that I can go to the Honors Breakfast for N tomorrow. I hope they will say yes.
I am thankful for...the simple, quiet pleasures of my life. I am grateful to let go of the craziness of the holidays and embrace the love of the season.
From the kitchen...I have rewed coffee, prepared sandwiches for lunches, cut pumpkin bread for the children, poured cereal for myself and mixed and kneaded pizza dough for tonight's dinner... and it is only 6:53! A well used and well loved kitchen is what I have.
I am wearing...my 'uniform'! Corduroy's a long sleeve t shirt and a vest. Today the pants are brown and the top and vest are black. I go for the neutral look. I'll jazz it up with a pretty scarf.
I am creating...beautiful images of flowers. I have been playing with my Aperture program and hopeing to send some photos off to be developed so that I can turn them into cards to give as gifts this holiday season. I better get busy as time is a wasting!
I am going...to work on cleaning my nice living room so that we can get more holiday decorating done this weekend.
I am reading...Guardians of Ga'Hoole book 4 in the series, still. It is a great series. I have just returned to making time for my reading. N is very happy as he is several books ahead of me and would like me to catch up so that we can talk about the story.
I am hoping...that we have a positive day at school today.
I am hearing...the drone of the television and the children goofing around.
Around the house...I have much to do to prepare for the holidays, but I will take it one day at a time.
One of my favorite things...is changing into my warm cozy pajamas as soon as I get home from work.
A few plans for the rest of the week: working with n on her simple machine project due on the 16th, reading, and all my regular household tasks. Nothing too exciting. Oh perhaps a visit with an old friend on Thursday if everything works out.
Here is picture I am sharing..

These Are the Neighborhoods with the Highest Rents in the US
We all know rent is too damn high. But just how high, and where? Trulia crunched the numbers and mapped out the results:
Roughly 50% of New York and San Francisco's one-bedroom apartments rent for $3,000 or more. The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan is $3,250, just barely stealing the wallet-busting title from San Francisco ($3,200). In New York, rent is most expensive in Midtown, where the median rent for one area is $4,250. In Battery Park City, more than 90% of the one-bedrooms are over $3,000, the most saturated area of expensive rents.

Some photos I took in MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Barcelona on holiday in summer 2010. There is such a diverse mix and there is so much to see as well!! The museum is full of little hidden spaces but it's worth retracing your steps to make sure you see them all. The space outside is also popular among skaters.
I was so interested in the objects in the cabinet pictured above! They make me think of fine art students with little leather pouches full of little tubes of paint finding the perfect location along a river somewhere.
It's hard to tell from a small section but the list on the wall was like a giant, verbal map of what was on each floor. One of the things highlighted was how film-makers edited films before the invention of computers and software, which is something I had never considered before. One exhibition room showed the process of cutting up thin film reels and putting the frames back together in the desired order.
Look out for photos of the DHUB Barcelona design museum coming soon - I have a few on my camera but my boyfriend has the rest!

The other night I was working at the computer most of the night while Santina (my 6 year old) played the Wii, and Paul David (my two year old) watched Night at the Museum for the 45th time. (He calls it the Dinosaur Movie.) Anyhow, by the time I was off the computer, it was time for baths and bed. They were tired, so after a few short prayers, they fell asleep. I came back to my computer and thought, "Wow, for someone who really values their family time, I'm not sure tonight counted as me being with my kids." We were in the same house, and I new they were safe, but as we all interacted with our own separate "screen," we failed to interact with each other.
I want to make sure that I make it a priority to look them in the eye every night and actually converse with them. I've got to plan my evening activities so that there's time for stories on my lap before bed. That's the kind of home life I always dreamed of having and no one can make it happen but me.
The "light bulb" that turned on in my head about my family, also went on in my heart about my Christianity. How often do I send up a "hi God" type of prayer while I go about all of my activity. I know He's with me, but I don't really "look Him in the eye" (so to speak) and converse about how precious He truly is. God is always there wanting to spend time with me. The variable is my attention to Him. The only one who can change that is me.
Just having children, or just being a child of God, shouldn't be enough for me. I desire my relationships on earth to thrive, so I must pour myself into them. I want my relationship with my Heavenly Father to thrive, so I must pour myself out to Him and allow Him to pour His Spirit into me.

NEW BEDFORD — "May I grow up to be a rabbi like my father," proclaimed young Raphael Kanter at his bar mitzvah.
NEW BEDFORD — "May I grow up to be a rabbi like my father," proclaimed young Raphael Kanter at his bar mitzvah.
Over the years he would waver, earning first a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a master's in education in the area of counseling from Columbia University. But the seed had been planted.
"Once I knew my own identity, I realized that I was going to be a different kind of rabbi than my father," he said. (His father is a rabbinical scholar.) "I was much more interested in counseling and engaging people on a personal level."
This week Rabbi Kanter will observe the 15th anniversary of his rabbinic ordination from The Jewish Theological Seminary.
In honor of the milestone, the congregation of Tifereth Israel Synagogue will host a Shabbat Dinner and Evening Services at 6:15 p.m. Friday, Oct 5. The event also will celebrate the rabbi's first decade in their community.
After serving for five years as assistant rabbi at Beth Shalom Congregation in Kansas City, Mo., Rabbi Kanter searched for a small congregation in a multicultural city. Tifereth Israel proved the perfect fit.
"I knew its reputation as a great community," he said. "How does a rabbi know a good community? If they held onto their rabbis, they know how to treat their rabbis well."
Rabbi Kanter said that he and his family were welcomed into the community with open arms. His wife, Cindy Benson, works in genetic counseling, and the couple has three children, Rebecca, 14, a student at New Bedford High School; Eli, 11, and Micah, 7, students at the Jewish Community Day School in Providence.
"We loved them from the start," said Ruth Ades, who, along with her husband Alan, was part of the search committee that found Rabbi Kanter 10 years ago. "He's a wonderful all-around rabbi. How lucky we are to have him as ours! A light comes from him and that light shines on others."
Barbara Samuels, president of Tifereth Israel Synagogue, said that Rabbi Kanter means everything to the congregation.
"I think he is just a terrific human being," Mrs. Samuels said. "We use the word in our vernacular "mensch," and that's what he is. That is probably one of the nicest things that you could say about a Jewish man. It encompasses all things good, and Rabbi Kanter is all that's good."
The congregation has sought to welcome everyone to the synagogue from every kind of family constellation, including single parents, gay couples and those who may want to get reacquainted with Jewish spiritual life.
Rabbi Kanter said that many Jews today are ambivalent about being Jewish.
"We live in an age when Jews are in vogue and have a positive association in American culture," he explained. "It has never been this good. Jews are no different than anyone else, but Jewish history has taught us that will never be the case."
Consequently, he said that many Jews don't know what it means to be Jewish and that the synagogue offers something they can find no where else.
"You're not forced to be a Jew — you choose to be a Jew," he said.

I accepted a long time ago that I am not a fast runner. I accepted it and I've admitted it to you in several blogs. I made peace with my maker, the black top. I knew that if the Zombie's were like the ones on walking dead, I had a fighting chance. If the Zombie's were like in World War Z, I just planned on ingesting arsenic in my basement whilst hiding. Either way, I was at peace with that. Well, at least I thought I was.
Last Saturday I drug my very tired ass out of bed to get to the 7:30am Crossfit Solstice workout. I mean, why not? Friday nights are not what they used to be. This particular Saturday Eve I went to the diner for a salad with Alli and did laundry. I know, I'm wild. Someone plan an intervention for me. Anyways...I went. My alarm went off, my sneaks went on, and out the door I went (fully clothed of course).
I have a tendency to peak at the workouts the day before, just so I can mentally prepare myself. Friday I thought, that doesn't look bad--- 200 m rowing. I missed the running part. If you can imagine my shock Saturday when I saw the white board it was like a silent---what the ham samwich. I still thought...doesn't look that hard...
So, I love bear complexes. That's really what made me go to class originally. I literally love any kind of weight lifting. It's my niche. But, for some reason Bear Complexes have a special place in my heart, right next to Peachie O's. I did awesome on my bear complex...so awesome I forgot the number I got to-- maybe #115--#120?? Not sure. Doesn't matter. That's not the point of this story. Stop letting me digress over my love of lifting weights.
So anyway, Christie announces it's time to get ready for the WOD and she explains it a little bit better. In my mind I'm like...no way am I going to make all of that happen in 5 minutes. At one point in my life I was running so slow I started walking and didn't even realize it because my run pace is so slow. THAT'S HOW SLOW I AM. Christie, as any good coach would, reassures me I will do fine. In my mind I'm thinking...are we talking about the same person completing the same workout? Whatever you say dude...whatever you say....
It wasn't so bad to start. Completed it all in like 4:30, so I had a nice 30 second rest before it was time to put my big booty back on the rower. Second round... 4:50...10 second rest. By the third round I noticed I was behind everyone else. I know we aren't supposed to notice, but it's a bad habit. I'm not competitive at all with running because I KNOW I SUCK, but this particular workout made me angry. So angry. In fact, while running I was mumbling "Fuck this, this is stupid." "F'in Ron." "This is so god damn stupid." "Why would anyone make up this workout?" "Ron is evil."
By the end of round three, I did not make it in the 5 minute time cap. Christie realizing this said "Elyse, I just want you to run 400 meters instead of 600." My legs screamed YES. My mind, against my legs better advice, said Fuck no. Which is, what I said to her in so many words. I completely understood why she wanted me to scale, but my mind told me I was not scaling. How could I even consider scaling running? Why, because I'm slow? No thanks. I'd run for 5 days rather then quit from something I can physically do, just at a slower pace. My momma didn't raise no quitter. I've never even quit a job in my life--which is probably why I have 3. I'm a sucker.
So, I kept running. And I started using all that anger to make my feet move a little faster. A little faster. A little faster. The f words turned into move it, you're almost done, 400 more meters, 1 more round, 200 more meters, MOVE.
Then...I finished the entire workout. About 1 total minute after everyone else, but to the cheers of my fellow crossfit friends. That's why I didn't scale. I wanted that class of all dudes to see I may have little stub legs compared to their 6 foot giraffe height legs, but I am not a quitter. We don't do crossfit because we are all making it to the Crossfit Games, we do it because it feels good to be pushed harder than we have ever been before.

Thanks to my newly purchased Showtime channel, I have had the opportunity of seeing Twilight a few times now. The first time I watched it I was not too thrilled with it, but the more I watch it it gets better and better with every viewing.
I am also picking up new things every time I watch it, most importantly the plethora of knit and crocheted items the characters wear. I can't believe it took me three viewings before I finally noticed that in the La Push beach scene, Angela is wrapped up in an awesome granny square blanket.
Photo courtesy of Summit Entertainment
Since the new Twilight movie, Eclipse, is hitting theaters on June 30 (the day our granny along finishes), I thought it would be fitting for us to crochet Angela's blanket. It would have been fun to crochet Bella's hat too, but I am absolutely terrible at making hats. Hence, my doily/hat!
If you would like to crochet Angela's blanket with me and are a member of Ravelry, check out Amanda Lewis's La Push Blanket pattern. It is a replica of the one from the movie and is a free Ravelry download. Yay for free patterns!!!
If you are not a member of Ravelry and want to crochet the La Push blanket, why not join? It is free! Just visit Ravelry.com, choose a username, and you are on your way. I am not sure if there is still a waiting period to join. When I signed up, it took a few days before I was added to the site. That was over a year ago, so it might not be the case anymore.
If you would prefer to not join Ravelry or have found a better granny square blanket you'd like to crochet, by all means go for it! Just make sure that the size of your lapghan/blanket is 20 granny squares, or more if you want to thoroughly impress me!
I am going to stick with Angela's blanket's original colors, white and green. I have a TON of white cat hair covered yarn that I've been dying to use, but not too much green. I think I'll have to pick up a skein or two this weekend. I'll be sure to post the supply list next week, or you can always cheat and download the pattern early. :)
Amanda Lewis's pattern gives us two sizes that we can crochet: a lapghan and a twin blanket. We will be crocheting the lapghan instead of the full size blanket, because 20 squares is plenty for me!
Though the lapghan will be a little smaller than the one in Twilight, it will be the perfect size to use while watching TV, or better yet, to take to the cold theatre when you see Eclipse!

The first step to choosing a ReportsNow training solution? Assess your audience.
If you need to train business users, are they financial, payroll and operational team members? Or maybe manufacturing and distribution team members? Regardless of their roles, business users need to see the features and functionality of DAS using their data – data that is meaningful to them. Business users need their own vertical training.

The sixth Potter movie is on its way to theaters and, as you'd expect, on its way to videogame mediocrity with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - and we have thefirst screenshot.
The game is set for release in fall of this year, coinciding with the release of the film which a bazillion people will rush out to see.
In development at EA Bright Light studio in the UK, it will again give raging Potter fans the chance to button-mash their way through events featured in the film.
"Building on the technological advancements of previous games in the series and with a particular focus on the unique control system of Nintendo's Wii, the team here is working closely with the film makers to create an immersive interactive experience that captures the story, the action, the excitement and, above all, the fun of the film," says Harvey Elliott, head of the studio.
"In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year," details EA.
"They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron's romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince."
Yeah, but we all KNOW who Half-Blood Prince is (don't we?).
Every relevant system - Wii, PS3, 360, PS2, PSP, DS, PC and even Mac and mobiles - will get the Potter treatment, so just lie back and accept that there's no escape now before fall rolls around.

In April, I had the pleasure of running the Blue Ridge Half Marathon in Roanoke as an official blogger for the race. Now that its mid-June, I'm thinking it is probably about time I post a race recap… So, here it goes!

Last year when we drove to Roanoke to run the Blue Ridge {Read More}
2016 Blue Ridge Half Marathon Race Recap
Weekly Recap and a Big Announcement! #RunBlueRidge
Well, now that the Marine Corps Marathon and the Richmond Marathon have come and gone, my 2015 racing year is winding down… So, what's next for me? More on that in a minute. 😉 I felt great after finishing Richmond, like best I have ever felt after a marathon… Still, I took the entire week off following the race. I didn't run, even though I was tempted to lace up my shoes every time I saw someone out on a {Read More}
Marathon Training 2/16 – 2/22
How's the weather where you are?! Here, it's been another snowy, COLD week for marathon training. Not once did I get to run outside… and I have made peace with that. (Sort of). In fact, I have no desire to run outside until the temps reach 50! (Well, almost…) 😉 Hobbes and I are totally on the same page. Here's how my week went: Monday: Planned rest day Tuesday and Wednesday: Snow days, and kids home from school = unplanned {Read More}

Hanna in a Choppa 2 – Guest Review!
Admin Note: Hey Everyone! This is a guest review by Taiboss. He will be posting occasionally and I'm happy to have him on the Guidology team. If you're interested in writing for Guidology then check out this official post.
Hanna in a Choppa 2, sponsored by addictinggames.com, is the sequel to the great success of 2008 by Deeperbeige and has everything that makes up a typical continuation of a success: more levels, new vehicles and achievements. But for this game, unlike some other games, that does very good for it, but let's start from the beginning.
In the game, "Hanna in a Choppa 2″ you play a helicopter pilot named Hanna in an apparently only black and orange existing 2D world, and your goal is to reach a flag, by the fulfillment of certain conditions. While in the original game, you controled a helicopter in only 21 levels with a total of 15 achievements, its sequel has 32 brand new barmy levels, ten new vehicles to fly, as well as the original choppa, 53 hidden secrets to discover, 50 what's-it-from questions to discover and solve, 42 achievements and the 21 bonus classic levels, updated to be playable with the new vehicles. And if that's not more of everything, then I do not know what this phrase means.
The game is, due to the ability to fly ALL the vehicles in ALL the levels, sometimes easy as pie, or sometimes annoying as Battletoads (especially with the jetpack). Nevertheless, the difficulty is, overall, fair, but at the same time challenging. Let's take Level seven "The Shrooms of Doom" for example. In this level, you have to start with a jetpack and fly in a passage filled with giant mushrooms, which will throw you back (if you take this on a wall, you've lost and you must start the level over again).You have to fly at turn two times, and return to the now open barriers. Then you will go to hell (including not painful flames), press the off button flanked by mushrooms, after that you can return to the surface and touch the flag to win.
The gameplay is pretty unique and feels great, but also vague or imprecise, but I could not remember a similar game with this physics. As a pilot of a helicopter, UFO, jetpack, or even TARDIO (An orange version of the TARDIS from "Doctor Who") you have to solve various puzzles, perform tasks, or otherwise,to get to the coveted flag. You need the winch, grapple, grenades or tractor beam (according to vehicle) to lift apparently a ton heavy things or bridge sections, and then drop them on Zombies or switchs or columns to build bridges for a van. The controller with WASD works fine, only a few cars wave too hard, even with the equally well-functioning Z/ X Rotation (Y / X, if you have QWERTZ, there was apparently no room for. AZERTY ).
The graphic appears very simple, at first sight but the background is very complex and the whole game has a very great attention to detail. You can tell that the developer that he had fun in drawing, designing, and generally evertything. And the music, which was created according to each vehicle, as each vehicle has its own theme song, just without vocals and it repeats itself. Still, it's nice to hear the peaceful music of the balloon, the celebration msuic of the SAM and the music of of Jouster (a man flown by a swan). is reminiscent of 8-bit video game melody.
But with all the adulation I have to put something critically, the control of jetpack and SAM are very difficult and let you fly you in the wall very quickly. The radiating tractor of UFO, TARDIO and Zorb (A kind of magic hamster ball.) only attracts things and doesn't retains them. That means, if you go too fast, you lose your objects, something that doesn't happens to you with a winch. Also, in the TARDIO the tractor beam is on the side, and it's a game of patience, to keep the self erecting TARDIO constantly in a horizontal position. Also, there seems to be a bug (I do not know if it's one) that if you lie with a jetpack on your stomach on the floor, you cannot get up, unless you manage to come to a slanting wall, but this rarely happens. Then it seems probably to be a good idea, to just press R to restart times.
Overall, "Hanna in a Choppa 2" is a very good game. The few errors are forgiven quickly as graphics and sound are in perfect harmony, the number of references on other games and media is huge (It goes from Do not Panic over HANNA RUN, RUN! and F = MA, to THE CAKE IS A LIE ) and the funny pronunciation of the title in the title screen made me laugh at least more than one time. If I were one of these IGN guys, I would give 8.5/10.
