Sep 25, 20122they could at least change the engine! this game is like CoD, except it has no competition and thus, no one complains about it being the same over and over
Oct 3, 20121Massively disappointed! The 'first touch' feature provides a 'touch' that seems somewhat overkill. The AI is lacking the 'intelligence', as the game is so riddled with misplaced passes, through balls when no through ball was pressed, etc etc. You would never see a premier league football team **** and misplace as often as they do throughout this version of Fifa.
Oct 4, 20120
Sep 27, 20120The main problem for me is that we are paying 59 bucks for the same game. There is no difference at all between 12 and 13, it is the exactly same game with the updated licenses.
Oct 5, 20121I wish this game had some competition because right now it has NONE and EA knows it. The first touch is BAD, It's a good idea and does change the way the game is played, but when you have players like Messi, Iniesta and Xavi mis-controlling first touches to the extent that you'd expect from players from League 1 teams such as Tranmere, It ruins the game.

Sep 30, 20123FIFA 13 is another poorly made cash grab with cheap graphics and nothing new to offer, basically a blatant remake of the other games. The other thing good about it is it's soundtrack, but not even the soundtrack can save it from being a waste of gaming technology.
Oct 2, 20123
Oct 5, 20123Between the new silly first touch system,the amount of missed placed passes and through balls that happen in one match i don't know which is the worst and also the players feel like they are stuck in mud when trying to move with the ball.FIFA has gone back 3 or 4 years with this years edition
Sep 28, 20120the game features are very good but consequently its slower than the last fifa 12 and most importantly i encountered loads of freezes throughout the game which is so annoying.
Sep 29, 20121No Croatia national team?? I expected this from KONAMI, but not from EA! I guess that this year I will change Fifa for PES. Whats next? Removal of Italy, Germany? So lame.

Oct 3, 20120Way too many bugs in this game. I guess, the only FIFA games I'll buy now will be the World Cup theme games. Those are released every 4 years. You should be able to see major changes. However, if the World Cup theme games will be DLC only - guess EA Sports will not be getting my money anymore.

Oct 6, 20120Horrible game, same crap as Fifa 12 only worse; It keeps freezing unexpectedly it's driving me nuts, I've stopped playing and I'm never buying an EA game again, these people are thieves.

Oct 16, 20120What a disappointment. Full of bugs. First touch is a joke online because any slight bit of lag makes it ridiculous. More scripted games. Ridiculous goals at 45 and 90 min. 12 was better, much better. This is arcade BS. Probably will trade for Pes, doubt it could be any worse.
Feb 26, 20131
Oct 16, 20120Another year, and yet the same FIFA game. EA is just milking it and people keep buying this crap. This should be a $10 per year DLC, and not a new $60 game. If you're tired of being ripped off, then stop buying these games, along with any other games published by EA.

Dec 23, 20120Same game release as of any previous FIFA game. When are people going to realise that EA are fleecing £40 pounds + of your hard earned cash every year
Jan 9, 20130If you walked into the EA Sports offices, sat down with the FIFA development team and asked them what amazing new features they added to this game, the answer would be as follows:
"This year, we put a '13' on the box" And that's it. That's all this game is: Fifa 12 with a different number. -
Jan 12, 20130As you'd expect, this game is pretty much the same. There isn't really much that even makes you think this game is a different game - wan't even worth going over to a friends house to play.

Jun 13, 20133Would be better if it wasnt the same bloody game every year. Theres a reason why EA is hated. Im not dishing out 50 odd quid for the same game every year
Jan 4, 201390FIFA '13 provides some great AI, a fair challenge if you go for a difficulty beyond Amateur, and a lot of content if you're willing to delve into the various modes.
Nov 14, 201290The fluidity and speed of FIFA makes it pure joy to play, an area where it reigns supreme over its rival Pro Evo.
Oct 18, 201280This year's installment of FIFA has increasingly improved from its previous release.

Lodging Leader Collects 1M Soap Bars and Amenity Bottles
BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global hospitality leader Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) has become an official hotel partner of Clean the World, a non-profit that collects, recycles and distributes discarded soaps and other hygiene amenities to communities in need. With nearly 47,000 rooms (more than 200 hotels) already participating, Marriott is the number one hotel chain in the Clean the World portfolio, having collected nearly 1 million soap bars and amenity bottles and diverting more than 120 tons of waste from landfills since 2009.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130225/PH65707)
"We are guests on this planet, and conservation ensures our resources are sustained for generations to come," said Denise Naguib, Marriott International's Vice President, Sustainability and Supplier Diversity. "Our new partnership will help support our global environmental strategy while helping provide a basic need to people in our local communities and around the world."
Clean the World aligns with Marriott's Green Hotels Global program, a comprehensive online environmental sustainability dashboard. Through Green Hotels Global, Marriott calculates each hotel's water footprint and waste diversion rate and maintains a comprehensive list of each hotel's environmental practices.
Currently, Marriott hotels across North America can participate in the program. The company plans to expand its partnership globally by 2014. "Marriott and Clean the World's goals are similar, with our shared values of sustainability and social responsibility," said Jeff Wolff, Vice President, Guest Experience and Rooms Operations – Americas, Marriott International. "We can engage hotel associates and guests in recycling a valuable resource that can help save lives around the world."
Each day 9,000 children around the world die from diseases such as acute respiratory illness and diarrheal diseases that can be prevented by washing with bar soap. Clean the World has a mission to put soap in the hands of people who need it most to improve hygiene and sanitation conditions and to lessen the impact of disease and promote better hygiene and living conditions worldwide.
"Thanks to partnerships with community-minded companies such as Marriott International, we have distributed more than 12 million soap bars in more than 65 countries since 2009," said Shawn Seipler, CEO and co-founder of Clean the World. "And the partnership does more than save lives. It also reduces the burden on landfills by diverting waste that otherwise would be disposed locally by each participating hotel."
Marriott is committed to protecting the environment inside and beyond its hotels. The company's Spirit To Preserve® environmental strategy calls for: greening our multi-billion supply chain; further reducing energy and water consumption by 20 percent by 2020; empowering hotel development partners to build green hotels; educating and inspiring employees and guests to conserve and preserve the environment; and addressing environmental challenges through innovative conservation initiatives. For more information about our sustainability efforts visit www.marriott.com/environment.
Clean the World Foundation Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization with the mission of saving millions of lives around the globe. Clean the World leads a global hygiene revolution to distribute recycled soap and hygiene products from more than 1,700 hospitality partners to children and families suffering from high death rates due to the top two killers of children worldwide – acute respiratory infection (pneumonia) and diarrheal diseases (cholera). Since 2009, Clean the World has distributed more than 12 million bars of soap. Through the "ONE project" launched in late 2012, Clean the World provides hygiene kits domestically to the homeless and families in transition. For more information visit www.cleantheworld.org.

June 14, 2011Darla Martin TuckerRIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.lasierra.edu) Dont stop believing, admonished Stephanie Randolph with a smile, advising others struggling against tremendous difficulties. Never give up. Always believe because even when you feel like you have nobody in life, God will open those doors. Randolph is full of excitement these days and rightfully so. She will graduate on June 19 with a Bachelor of Social Work degree, a milestone event that four years ago seemed impossible, and prior to that, a remote dream as she struggled through a chaotic life in the foster childcare system. I really feel like Im going to walk on that stage and cry my eyes out, said the social work major. You just cant give up. You have to look at all the possible options and just which door God wants you to go through.In September 2007 Randolph was preparing to move from Hemet to San Diego State University where she had been accepted into the social work program. But she ditched her plans when she discovered her mother, Donna Bell, was suffering from stage four breast cancer and needed help caring for Randolphs younger siblings Amanda, Heather and Paul. Randolph moved in with her mother, her two sisters and brother, then ages 9, 16, and 12, respectively, but she was filled with sadness and hopelessness at the loss of her college dreams. She entered the role of caretaker for her family, driving her mom to doctors appointments and meeting the needs of her siblings.I wanted so badly to do something for myself and when I had to give up school it was hard, said Randolph. I really did not think I was going to continue and I might not have if it was not for the adult evening program that La Sierra offers.After Randolph returned to Hemet, she approached her former employer and asked for her old job back as an intake resource coordinator at a youth center in town. Then a door of opportunity opened. Her supervisor, Mary Jo Ramirez told her about the social work program at La Sierra University. Ramirez had graduated from La Sierra and suggested it as a close-to-home alternative. At La Sierra, Randolph contacted a Division of Continuing Education staffer named Marilyn and the pieces began falling into placeshe discovered she could continue working and take night classes toward her degree. [Marilyn] was an inspiration, said Randolph. She was so helpful and I was blown away. Everything was so simplified. It seems God put it in place for me, Randolph said.Randolphs mother passed away in 2009 and Randolph assumed guardianship of her two youngest siblings, Amanda and Paul. The teenagers live in Hemet with Randolph and her newly wed husband, Darell. The couple got married at the California Palms restaurant in Hemet in a midnight New Years Eve wedding, officially tying the knot on Jan. 1. Randolph credits her husband with providing huge support to her during the past four years of working full time, going to school while raising her brother and sister and caring for her ill mother during the first two years of her education. Hes my ground. He helps me out on all levels, Randolph said. After her mother passed away, La Sierra social work professors Sibyl Beaulieu and Laurelle Warner organized a support group of classmates for Randolph and prayed for her before classes. They just took me in, Randolph said. It was nice to see that I wasnt alone. On many occasions, tired, stressed and ready to give up, Randolph paid a visit to continuing education counselor Carrie Engevik. She was one of those people who could pray, and she did, Randolph said. Randolph always left the counselors office feeling as though all her troubles had lifted.Bealieu cited Randolphs growth as she traveled the educational pathway. She recognizes she must have a balanced perspective of situations and contexts--her own and that of clients she works with, Beaulieu said. Stephanie has grown tremendously since I first met her. [She] needed comfort, support, encouragement, sometimes admonishment and challenge. Social work faculty have to be mentors, evaluators, educators, admonishers, advocates, parental figures, counselors, comforters, and challengers, often all at the same time. I hope I have been all these things to Stephanie.Lifes road is evening out for Randolph, but there were many bumps, twists and turns along the way. Randolph and her siblings grew up mainly in the foster care system, sometimes living with relatives or foster homes and at times with their mother who struggled with drug addiction. She does not know her father. It was a world of numerous school changes and constant visits by social workers. That journey began when Randolph was six years old. She began caring for her younger sister because her mother was unable to do so. The family was homeless and lived under a bridge for awhile. Her mother then left Randolph and her sister at a friends house for three days, a stint which inspired the friend to call law enforcement. The sisters ended up living in an orphanage in Buena Park. From there, they were sent to different homes in the foster care system and endured a revolving door of living arrangements, back and forth between their mother, the system and relatives. Eventually Randolph opted to remain in the foster care environment to maintain some equilibrium. Her siblings stayed with their mother who stopped using drugs and got clean, Randolph said.Numerous social workers interacted with Randolph throughout her growing up years, but most visits were brief and superficial. And even though her high school career placement tests repeatedly pointed Randolph to a social work career path, the disillusioned teen determined to never hold a job that required her to remove children from their homes. However one social worker made a life-changing impression. She spent additional time with Randolph and showed a genuine interest in her welfare. She wanted to know who I was and wanted to really help me out, Randolph said. The social worker asked about Randolphs plans and got me thinking about the future, she said. Randolph had always wanted to go to college, to do something for herself, to experience something for my age, she said. Ive never been able to be my age. From the age of six I have had to take care of my siblings. I think that my last social worker helped me see that it [college] would be possible.Randolph is graduating but not ending her pursuits. She aims to earn a masters degree through an online program with the University of New England. After that, she wants to work in child protective services for a foster agency. I want to help the kids that get placed with me, she said. Randolphs growth process throughout her educational career included a deepening of her spiritual life.La Sierra University is a Christian university owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Spiritual development is an integral part of campus life. The first day of class the teacher said, ok, lets pray, and I was like, wow, Randolph said. I believe more in God now than I did four years ago. Once she graduates and her schedule is less hectic, Randolph plans to attend church regularly with her family. It will be the best thing for my brother and sister, she said.

The Outlaw Cyclist
Many years later the entrance in the photo was built - joining up not with a road or cycle path but with some waste ground at the other side next to a disused railway. The photo shows how the cycle and pedestrian entrance to the Cambridge Science Park is closed during night-time hours for "security reasons".
How does one explain the need for cyclists to be kept out of the Science Park when it is possible to drive a truck along the roads into and through the Science Park at any time of day or night ? I am pretty sure that the majority of England's criminals, like the majority of other people in that country, are drivers. However, cyclists are painted as being "outlaws" and a greater threat - even though you'd be doing very well indeed to carry off as much swag in a bike basket as in a car or on a truck.
The answer to this mystery is to be found in sociology. In societies like the UK's, where only a small number of people cycle, cyclists are an out-group. Apart from cyclists being considered to be on the edges of society, and quite possibly criminal, cyclists also suffer from homogeneity bias. An example of this is the way in which newspapers in the UK often carry accusations of cyclists "all" being law-breakers.
Well intentioned campaigns to improve the position of cyclists in society by improving their behaviour, such as those to encourage cyclists to always stop at red traffic lights fail due to a mis-understanding of what causes cyclists to be disliked in the first place.
While many people in places with little cycling may express that they dislike cyclists because of such things as going through red lights, this is simply an expression of a dislike due to cyclists being cyclists. If it were not red lights that they commented on, it would be something else (as demonstrated by this letter, or this one). In some places, even providing sidewalks is thought to draw in undesirables (see comments here).
There is only one way to improve the public perception of cyclists, and that is to make cycling attractive enough that everyone becomes a cyclist. For this to be the case, cycling must be safe as well as direct and convenient.
Of course, some cyclists genuinely are outlaws. Here's a video of Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds talking about cycling:
Read other posts about campaigning for more cycling when cyclists are an out-group.
To illustrate this phenomena I had to use a photo taken when we still lived in Cambridge and links to letters to the newspaper there as this sort of thing simply doesn't happen here. In this society, cycling is a normal thing. It is part of everyone's life. As a result, newspaper letters pages and editorials are free of complaints about "outlaw cyclists" even though the actual behaviour of cyclists here is quite similar to elsewhere, and there are no arbitrary restrictions against cyclists. Quite the reverse in fact.

Hang on a minute: your sociological analysis is fine, but bad cycling, like bad driving or indeed any inconsiderate use of the road (eg dangerous pedestrians!) is not to be condoned. And the law, in my view, is not to be broken except in exceptional circumnstances.
As for the letters you quote, one is definitely whacky (make us standarise lights location and height!) but... what's wrong with demanding that cyclists should have lights? - 30 January 2009 00:47

Sounds like America. Read the comments in this piece and you'd think we were resurrecting the USSR.
Yep, we're up against some stiff resistance. - 30 January 2009 00:56

I think this is probably pretty typical of anywhere in the U.S. as well - even in Portland where we tend to be a little less car-focused (we don't have people complaining about building sidewalks typically), when it snows, they only plow the roads, and the bike lanes and sidewalks end up all but completely impassable, even though it's still dangerous to drive.
A couple of things have happened recently that are encouraging - Oregon legislature is pushing to pass a law saying that cyclists can treat stop signs as yield signs - that is, they can approach them cautiously, and roll through them without stopping if there is nobody to yield to. This will help to quell the "cyclists always break the law by not stopping at stop signs" bit, while encouraging a perfectly safe behavior making it more convenient for cyclists.
A number of the city planners have been working on a big research project regarding transportation and are looking at starting some serious example projects related to making our infrastructure more bike/pedestrian friendly, and looking at ways to couple bicycle and pedestrian routes with our already very able public transit system in a real and meaningful way (not more bike lanes that terminate suddenly and dump you into automobile traffic).
We making small steps, and moving to slightly bigger steps - at least we're going the right direction. - 30 January 2009 01:28

Coco, I don't condone breaking the law and I recommend lights also.
The point of the article is to point out disproportionality in the treatment of cyclists.
If the letter writers were truly interested in the safety of our roads, they would also complain about bad drivers as they leave a far greater trail of death and destruction. However, such complaints are comparatively rare.
These writers are really criticising cycling and cyclists, not errant behaviour. They also criticise legal behaviours that they don't like, such as not wearing bright enough clothing or riding two abreast or carrying a child on a bike (irresponsible parent) etc.
Because cars are "normal", the injury and death rate is considered to be an inevitable consequence of modern life. Nothing to complain about.
If you call the police after a driver runs into you, you may well find that they side with the errant driver despite any amount of evidence that they should not. A few years back when I lived in Cambridge (UK) I was assaulted by a driver who was incandescent with rage after he overtook a vehicle on his side of the road and hit me head-on. The police response to me was that "cyclists break all sorts of laws and ride through red lights" though it had no relevance to this case at all.
Drivers stick together. They are the in-group. They are "normal" people. Cyclists are out-laws.
People don't necessarily think very logically about their biases, but in the minds of many the roads have become the rightful domain of the car and driver, and of no others. In their minds, bikes don't belong. It's not the same here.
Here in NL it is different. Newspapers don't carry anti-cycling editorials or letters. I have yet to see a single line of criticism printed. We do, however, sometimes see complaints that things aren't getting better for cyclists quickly enough. - 30 January 2009 09:01

It's interesting to note that pretty much every traffic-related fatality is a result of a motor vehicle.
You don't hear about too many people dying in a single bike accident, or a bike-bike accident, or a bike-pedestrian accident.
Yet an automobile driver not paying attention and hitting a pedestrian or cyclist that they should have been yielding to barely makes the local media, and always with a "the cyclist wasn't wearing a helmet," even if the cyclist's head wasn't injured at all. So of course, the accident was really the cyclist's fault, because he wasn't wearing a helmet. Clearly it would have all been different otherwise.
Nearly every single person makes a habit of driving at least 5mph over the speed limit here, and it seems as though people only use their turn signals about 30% of the time, but yet a small percentage of cyclists not yielding at stop signs infuriates people.
At least now we have some verbage coming down from the federal government stating that a car-focused infrastructure is not ideal and we need to change it, specifically to *increase* our standard of living.
Here's hoping for better things to come... - 30 January 2009 19:18

I can't be bothered to correct wikipedia, but the term outgroup comes from Tajfel and Turner's Social Identity Theory, and it's social psychology, not sociology.
Sorry, these things matter to US. We wouldn't what THEM sociologists claiming credit.
It's a fascinating area of research (esp minimal group paradigm), and often used in crowd behaviour. I can't find an example of it applied to cyclists (like critical mass), but it's often applied to protests and rioters. Steve Reicher's work is interesting, particularly the Battle of Westminster, Italia 90 and the Bristol St Pauls riots. - 2 February 2009 16:09

DrMekon, I am but an amateur, so I thank you for your correction. It is of course always vitally important in any human endeavour to make sure we can tell US from THEM.

Thanks for the commentary, David. There have been some nice pieces written lately debunking "outlaw cyclist" claims in the US. One often-cited is The Myth of the Scofflaw Cyclist, by WashCycle.
There is also a further element to the sociology/social psychology/anthropology (don't sue me if I got that wrong). That is, many people in the US, and increasingly in other countries, are taking up bicycling BECAUSE it is outside the dominant cultural paradigm (typified by "car-culture"). If you have a culture, you're likely to have a counter-culture, and in between some boarderline, or liminal, culture. The outsider is the hero of the postmodern age.
There's a lot to talk about here, because cycling exists, I believe, not as much in the counter-culture as in the liminal space. Cyclists is the US have for the most part been invisible. Though this is changing, it is still commonplace, and many cyclist like it this way. It is what allows them to disregard laws that are designed for motorists but, according to statue at least, apply to bicyclists as well.
Groups of cyclists, mostly young people, identifying with the cultural characteristics of self-proclaimed "outlaw cyclists" are blossoming in cities around the world (or perhaps just making themselves visible through new media technology). These cultural referenceshe provide sense of identity to individuals who feel dispossessed by corporatized and comodified culture.
I know I'm making huge generalizations here, and I have to process these ideas some more.
In anycase, you can see the bleed into mainstream culture through the usual entry points: the arts, political activism, and fashion. Messenger-chic is ubiquitous, the phrase "messenger bag" is often applied to anything that doesn't qualify as a backpack. These things used to be called "breifcases" or "shoulder-bags." For further evidence, take a look at the recent spread in Teen Vogue, or wherever, of the frightfully skinny model in the weird semi-bikey getup astride a fixed-gear bike. Even better, a recent display in Macy's featuring an odd cross-over cultural item, here. I suspect the designers in this case were influenced by bicycle culture without even knowing it.
I've gone on too long. - 12 February 2009 16:19
- David said...
One more comment, to DrMekon:
Re: social psychology and cycling
There is an identified phenomenon that occurs when cyclists are riding in groups of two or more, most often with one behind the other. Basically, a cyclist will cede responsibility for traffic decisions to the cyclist in front of him, simply following along unaware of traffic lights, stop signs etc. It's as if the following cyclist is in the passenger seat of a car being driven by the person in front of him.
It's most obvious in urban environments, where traffic decisions are more critical and frequent, but it occurs in other environments as well.
It does not occur as often among "incidental groups," formed by individual riders who happen to be riding near each other, as it does in groups of people intensionally riding together for transportation or recreation.
I think this phenomenon deserves some academic study. - 12 February 2009 16:29
- David Hembrow said...
David, thanks for your well thought through reply. Not too long at all.
I can't say I see cycling being "counter cultural" as a particularly good thing. The problem is that it then tends to be filled by groups who are even smaller cliques and that helps to push even further away the chance of it ever becoming a mass means of transport.
Cycling has to become a part of the mainstream if it is to become popular - just as driving is part of the mainstream and is considered to be a normal means of transport, so must cycling be "normal". That is how it is here. For someone not to be a cyclist is perhaps worthy of a comment. For them to be a cyclist is not.
Cycle training is provided for immigrants to this country specifically because it helps them to fit into normal Dutch society.
It doesn't of course mean that all cycling has to be mainstream.
As for the Macy's marketing: Unbelievably crass and stupid. - 12 February 2009 17:06
- David said...
Right. In order to cycling in The States to become mainstream, it will, to some degree, have to surrender it's counter-culture elements.
Part of this will be learning not to antagonize the un-biked among us, to have compassion for folks trapped in cars, not hatred, fear, or pity. As Dr. Bronner says, we're all one or none.
I like to say that American cycling is perhaps starting to grow out of its adolescence - learn to control its emotions, take on responsibilities, grow up, get a job, have kids. Myself, I still have trouble with some of these ;-) - 12 February 2009 18:47
- David said...
Oh, and...
Macy's display wouldn't be so crass if they had fliers telling shoppers about the meaning of ghost bikes, and donated 1% of profits to the cause. Sometimes we can all win. Sometimes. - 12 February 2009 18:49
If everyone becomes a cyclist, then I'd be cycling with everyone, and frankly in this country, I'd much rather not. I'd rather not be identified as a normal American, preferring to be an outlier, as I find many normal American behaviors not to my liking.
David got it right. Many do take up cycling these days as it has been recognized as an outsider culture. I don't necessarily want to be an outsider at middle age (much like aging rockers, it's a bit pathetic) but by now I'm comfortable with it because I've been using a bike and public transit for transportation 30 years now and can find no wrong with it despite it falling outside normal behavior and many people cannot accept it.
The fixie trend of the past few years is ticking off some older cyclists precisely because of the trendiness and seemingly gullible following it has developed and the lack of adopting or respecting the existing cyclist lore and culture.
I'm often irritated by youth trends, but I'm pleased by it because I know many will become lifelong cyclists.
I didn't start riding with any great familiarity of the bicycling culture, in fact I didn't know there was one. I just rode to get places and for personal enjoyment.
It may not be so bad really if cycling in the U.S. normalizes. For example, within the rock-n-roll culture there is plenty of diversity among a restricted genre. Counter-culture exists within subcultures.
Mainstream successful groups are seen as "past it" and sell-outs by many fans of the genre.
And as cycling seems mostly associated with competitive sport and fitness in the USA, instead of practicality, growth in cycling would be welcomed. I guess I'll just have to accept that I won't be as special. I gotta admit, I REALLY like seeing regular families using cargo bikes and trailers.

Transforming Education Through Flipped Classrooms
What we view as the standard, traditional, lecture based classroom was actually conceived in Prussia- imported to the United States in the early 1800's by Horace Mann. As Julianna noted in an earlier blog post, the development of this format came about mirroring developments brought about during the industrial revolution; educating the national workforce much akin to factories manufacturing commodities. Horace Mann, Secretary of Education at the time, took lease of the Prussian model, importing the template for use in Massachusetts in 1852.
Mann sought to provide the coming generation of American children a common experience, one that would help bridge the sectarian divide between Catholic and Protestant communities in Massachusetts, a conflict he believed was perpetuated by parochial schools. By providing a free education to all citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, he was able to consolidate a common sense of identity between the two communities, and in this sense, it more than fulfilled its purpose.

The Autumn Offering
Embrace The Gutter
Though not the metal saving album the band claims, Embrace the Gutter is a solid 'American Metal' record that will please fans of God Forbid, Trivium, Himsa, Shadows Fall and Lamb of God.
The mix of thrash, metalcore/hardcore and traditional heavy metal displayed on The Autumn Offering's second album is a well worn formula that is delivered with vigor and polish, and shows that The Autumn Offering have matured from their more 'melodicore' based debut album but also fits too snugly into the safe realms and template laid down by the aforementioned bands.
Guitarists Tommy Church and Matt Johnson have developed a Coyle brothers (God Forbid)-like Bay Area, thrash based, interaction with hair in the wind solos (especially "The Yearning", "Embrace the Gutter", "Ghost", "One Last Thrill") and new, gruffer vocalist Dennis Miller (not that Dennis Miller), further removes The Autumn Offering from the metalcore crowd despite their jump to Victory Records and the end result is a satisfying album that shows The Autumn Offering, though not the saviors of metal, are more than capable of carrying metal's flag.
Though a far more melodic affair than Revelations of the Unsung, the melody is based on the bare chested leads rather than pure metalcore and the few 'core based grooves ("Misery", "This Future Disease") are crunchy, Hi-Tec sneakers and tight jeans rather than white belts, died hair and girls' pants.
Also, whereas Revelations of the Unsung had some stellar moments amid some rather lukewarm tracks, Embrace the Gutter is more consistent across the board, but does lack that, repeat 15 times track/ killer riff that were scattered on Revelations of the Unsung (i.e "Revelation", "Homeless"). The catchiness level has also been raised a tad for more radio play as tracks like the almost sing-along title track, "No End in Sight" and the Pantera-ish "Walk the Line" show where Victory is pointing their newest 'saviors of metal' (the mainstream). Truth be told one of my favorite cuts is the somber album closing instrumental, "The Final Cut" as Dennis Miller's monotone shout gets a bit boring after a while.
Embrace the Gutter is a good album and is certainly a respectable addition to Victory's ever thinning metal roster, but don't look for it to 'take metal back'.

Removing "?" from search
Hey I have an html website on my computer and I want to make files for each search. i dont have .htaccess. Is there another way I can do it???
Please HELP
example: search"syberfx" search url:http://example.com/?=syberfx I cant make a file with a "?". Thats my problem..
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks
Not to my knowledge. Why would you want to make a file for each search?
I cant make a file with a "?".the question mark is not part of a file name. it marks the beginning of the query string.
.htaccess would be the only way to do this transparently. How are you processing your search?
...I have an html website on my computer- meaning, on your local computer (not online)?
- meaning, HTML-only (no CGI or server-side scripting)?
Yes. It's an HTML website on my computer(not online)!
and...? Did you read our answers above?
If you want your own search functionality, you're stuck using a server-side language.
If you want to rewrite URLs, you're stuck using .htaccess.
Can I use .htaccess on a html website on my computer?
Yes but the point is, is that you should use a server side language for this. Otherwise I would just use Google Site Search.
How can you predict what others will search?
Can I use .htaccess on a html website on my computer?
I would have assumed you could, but you said earlier that you couldn't.
Otherwise I would just use Google Site Search.
I second this.
Sometimes hosting providers limit what you can do. Some won't even allow PHP. I'm assuming that is why he can't. Unless he's naming the .htaccess file to something like
instead of just.htaccess
@davidkrasniy, a few posts back you said the site is on your own computer (not online).

What is Britain's Energy Coast?
Published at 16:26, Monday, 20 August 2012
RITAIN'S Energy Coast's mission is "to lead the transition of West Cumbria into an economy that will flourish in a low carbon future".
BEC aims to establish a dynamic one-stop-shop for economic development that delivers business support and support for energy innovation; funds physical and skills-related regeneration projects; and manages a high-quality business property service.
If we achieve this we can create an entrepreneurial environment where businesses can grow; helping to stimulate wealth and jobs that directly benefit the West Cumbrian community and aid Britain's response to the pressing challenges of climate change and energy security.
BEC was established back in 2009 to lead the transition of Allerdale and Copeland (West Cumbria) into a diverse low carbon economy capable of exploiting £90bn plus worth of investment in nuclear and renewable energy-related schemes over a 15 year plus period. Originally backed by government funding through the Northwest Regional Development Agency, BEC has evolved into a private-public partnership consisting of nuclear partners – Nuclear Management Partners/ Sellafield Ltd and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, who provide the overwhelming majority of funding; local authorities and independent members from the private sector with experience in sectors of importance to the local economy.
In 2011-12 this evolutionary process saw a regeneration project-focused BEC integrate with funding conduit West Cumbria Development Fund; business support and inward investment organisation West Cumbria Development Agency; and Westlakes Properties Limited – owner and operator of Westlakes Science & Technology Park, assets in Lillyhall and managed workspace in Workington and Threlkeld, near Keswick.
Combined they create a "one-stop shop" for sustainable economic development in West Cumbria which brings together a wealth of in-house expertise and knowledge of the local economy, together with, strong links with the industry and partnerships with agencies such as Britain's Energy Coast Business Cluster, Britain's Energy Coast Campus and further education bodies, Invest in Cumbria and Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.
The merging of these organisations represents just the start of a process to create a company capable of grasping the "once-in-a-generation" opportunities this region is being presented with.
BEC's goal is to deliver a positive legacy for West Cumbria; a place that encourages innovation and entrepreneurialism and is dedicated to helping people and businesses realise their full potential. The West Cumbria Economic Blueprint provides the direction BEC and partners need to take. Working in partnership will be key to success.

Who's behind Vida Vegan Headquarters, anyhow?
Event Directors & Co-Founders
Janessa Philemon-Kerp, a lifelong vegetarian who grew up eating nutritional yeast and alfalfa sprouts, is the blogger behind Epicurious Vegan. In addition to planning Vida Vegan Con, she keeps busy outside her day job of restaurant management with reading, drinking champagne cocktails, adventuring, bike riding, taking photos, and trying to practice restraint in buying in international plane tickets. She loves kale and cookies equally. @janessapk
Michele Truty is the author of Vegtastic Voyage (and a bunch of stuff securely locked away on flash drives and not-so-securely stuffed into notebooks). She's been vegan for about 7 years, after a long journey since her last hotdog at age 11. A Chicago native, Michele's been moving around the country (New York, L. A., and now Portland) with her vegan pal Tom. When she's not getting in trouble with companies for being too honest, she's reading, editing, listening to records, or just trying to leave the world a little nicer than she found it. @vegtasticvoyage
Jess Sconé is a native New Yorker with a near forgotten accent, red roots and now ten years under her belt in the vegan wonderland of Portland, OR. Jess has been writing Get Sconed! about her everyday culinary adventures since 2005. She spends her free time talking to cats, longing for snowflakes, working on Vegan Iron Chef, playing speakeasy, reading horror fiction, and obsessively visiting farmers markets.

Suns Strokes: Suns overcome 26-point deficit to beat Cavs
Originally published: Nov 9, 2012 - 10:36 pm
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 107-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 9. Final Score: Suns 107, Cavaliers 105
The Good:
The Suns came back from a 26-point deficit to beat the Cavs at home Friday night 107-105. The win is the third largest comeback in team history and the largest at home.
The victory over Cleveland also gives the Suns consecutive wins for the first time this season and they improved to a .500 record of 3-3 for the first time this year.
The Bad:
The Suns scored just 16 points and committed eight turnovers in the first quarter to put them in the 26-point hole that required such an amazing comeback.
The Ugly:
The Suns only led for 2:22 of the entire 48 minutes but it was enough to get the win. They took their first lead of the game with 8:17 remaining in the fourth quarter at 87-85.
� The Suns got another big night from Shannon Brown off the bench. He recorded back-to-back 20-point games for the first time in his career and he's also scored 18 or more in three straight games for the first time in his career.
� Another solid performance came from Marcin Gortat on the defensive end. Gortat has three games of five or more blocks in the first six games for the Suns this season. The Suns have not had a player with three games of five or more blocks in an entire season since Amare Stoudemire in 2007-2008.
Up Next:
The Suns hit the road to play Utah on Saturday night for the second game of a back-to-back. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and you can listen to it on Arizona Sports 620.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
This piece has been updated and revised from its original publication.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Wednesday's Independence Day holiday won't bring the American stock markets any independence from Europe next week, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday.
He said his Game Plan continues to be dominated by European news. He cautioned investors to lighten up on technology stocks, the industrials, the banks and brokers, and the oil and gas stocks.On Monday, Cramer said the June Institute For Supply Management, or ISM, index, is due out. He expects a bad number, with oil and gas production slowing amid falling oil prices. Cramer said he'll also be watching the German purchasing managers index, or PMI, to see if the hard times in Europe are finally spreading to the continent's strongest economy.
For Tuesday, Cramer said all eyes will be on the June auto and truck sales numbers. Strong auto sales could be good for Ford Motor(F) and General Motors(GM) , but he remains bearish on Cummins(CMI) and Navistar(NAV) in the truck sector.
Then, on Wednesday, it's back to Europe with the latest retail sales numbers when the continent will dominate the headlines while we celebrate the Fourth of July in the U.S.
Thursday brings more euro-news, the European Central Bank meeting. Oil crude inventories will also come out, he noted, and any spike in supplies will likely kill the slight rebound in prices the markets have seen as of late.
But the end of the week brings the most important number, said Cramer -- the non-farm payroll report. Here again, Cramer said he's not expecting any good news. That's why he's looking forward to the following week, when earnings will once again take center stage.

With the introduction of the 60GB Pro console in July, we have research that suggests it is very important to have a 60GB stand alone Hard Drive to go along with it to allow the consumer a full range of choices and values. In late October/early November (exact date TBD but most likely last week in October or 1st week in November), we will ship the Xbox 360 60GB Hard Drive, tentatively called the "Xbox 360 60GB LIVE Starter Pack". This will be an excellent value price at and ERP of $99.99 with an 18% retail margin that contains:
- 60GB Hard Drive
- 3 Months of Xbox Live
- Xbox 360 Wired Headset
- Xbox 360 Ethernet Cable (same one that is included with Pro and Elite)
There's more through there about a price drop for the 120Gb 360 drive as well. See for yourself.

by Title by Author by ISBN
In Christ and Apollo, William Lynch examines the Greek dramatists, Dante, Shakespeare, Proust, Camus, Graham Greene, and other writers in light of their affinities with two opposing tendencies. The symbol of the first approach is Apollo. For Lynch, this is the tendency to want to escape the finite, real world and the human condition of embodiment: it has much in common with what critic Allen Tate called the "angelic imagination." The symbol of the other tendency is Christ, the Word made flesh. Artists working in this tradition give readers a glimpse of the infinite by working patiently and honestly with the materials of the finite world, in all its messy imprecision. For Lynch, then, as Arbery points out, limitation, or finitude, is the great human good.
Praised by Flannery O'Connor, among others, Lynch's sophisticated work is in many ways an important elaboration of the New Criticism, avoiding that school of thought's formalist excesses while providing it with firmer philosophical ground. For anyone interested in understanding what distinguishes great literature, Christ and Apollo is an essential text.
"An erudite and deeply thought out compendium, intended especially for advanced literature and philosophy students."— The Midwest Book Review

The Ministry of Fisheries has begun recruiting 18 full-time fishery officers and three customary liaison officers as part of its customary compliance initiative.
All but one will work in the North Island, providing compliance support for the new Kaimoana Fishing Regulations which came into force in February this year.
The other position is assigned to the Chatham Islands.
Support in the South Island is being provided through a contract arrangement with Ngai Tahu who have employed staff to deliver non-criminal compliance services.
The Ministry of Fisheries has also signed a compliance contract with Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated, for the iwi to provide non-criminal compliance services in their rohe, or customary fishing area. This service is part of the implementation and support of the Kaimoana Customary Fishing Regulations for the North and Chatham Islands. Two further contracts are under discussion with Iwi in the Wellington Region
As part of their contract, Ngati Kahungunu has employed a customary liaison person. This position provides a focus for establishing educational programmes and further develops Ministry of Fisheries ties with iwi/hapu and marae groups. Also within the rohe, the Ministry has appointed three new fishery officers - one each in Napier, Masterton and Wairoa - says Napier district compliance manager Ray McKay.
"Part of the initiative is about developing working relationships between Kaitiaki and the Ministry of Fisheries, as well as assisting Kaitiaki with their day to day management of the local area if required", Mr McKay says.
Currently the Ministry of Fisheries is limited to eight locations in the North Island and the Chatham Islands. The discussions to date have indicated that reliance on the existing locations would not provide the best support and protection of resources. In response, the Ministry is establishing a number of new office locations so that support can be provided locally.
New stations are being established in Waikato, Wairoa, Masterton, Whitianga and Opotiki with recruitment of Fishery Officer positions either commenced or completed.
Recruitment of Fishery Officers based in Whangarei, Auckland, Tauranga, Gisborne, Napier and Wellington has also commenced. The new recruits, along with those in the new stations, will attend a three-month residential training course commencing on September 3 1999, and will be ready to work prior to the summer season.
The new recruits will assist in dealing not only with issues associated with the new regulations, but all aspects of compliance relating to the protection of fisheries resources.
In addition to the appointments already made in Wairoa (1), Napier (1) and Masterton(1), the following are also underway: Whangarei/Dargiville (1), Auckland (2), Hamilton (1), Whitianga (1), Tauranga (one fishery officer and one liaison officer), Opotiki (1), Gisborne (1), Wellington (2) and Taranaki (1). The new officers at Hamilton, Whitianga and Opotiki will be supported by second appointments which are being advertised externally but from within existing staff numbers.
It is hoped that all 15 positions referred to above will be filled in time for the September Fishery Officer training course. Consultation will continue in other locations to complete the initiative implementation process and as agreement is reached, a further six appointments will be finalised. Those positions will be in: Kaitaia (one - supported by a second position from within existing staffing numbers), Whangarei (one fishery officer and one liaison officer), Auckland (one liaison officer) and Gisborne (one fishery officer).
As well as the contract with Ngati Kahungunu, the Ministry is discussing similar contracts with Te Atiawa and Ngati Toa.
