Video Game for Shooting NRA Officials Draws Congressman's Rebuke
U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner called on President Barack Obama to publicly denounce a video game found at Facepunch.com where players takes shots at National Rifle Association (NRA) officials.
Circulating on the Internet is talk of a video game inviting users to take virtual shots at National Rifle Association (NRA) officials.
According to U.S. Rep Jim Sensenbrenner, the website facepunch.com allows users to download a video game called "Bullet to the Head of the NRA" and invites them to take head shots at National Rifle Association (NRA) officials.
Sensenbrenner on Tuesday called on President Barack Obama to publicly denounce the video game.
The game targets NRA President David Keene and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.
A father expressed his concern on Free Republic when he found his son playing the video game depicting LaPierre giving a speech after the tragic Sandy Hook shooting and his son taking virtual shots at him.
"LaPierre, standing at his podium, giving his speech … with a crosshair over his head. Before I could even utter a word to scold my child, he clicked his mouse. And the virtual Wayne LaPierre's face disappeared in a spray of blood," wrote the father.
In the December press conference following the Sandy Hook shootings LaPierre said, "Guns don't kill people. Video games, the media and Obama's budget kill people."
Sensebrenner acknowledged the strong disagreements in the nation in regards to gun control but believes that there is room for reasonable debate.
"Making threats against public figures who speak out either for or against gun control prevents us from having a reasonable, thoughtful debate," Sensenbrenner wrote in a letter to the president. "Although we may have strong disagreements on the best ways to reduce gun violence, it is my hope that we can both agree that video games targeting specific individuals who speak out on this issue, is counterproductive."
The president Wednesday proposed comprehensive gun policy reform that included a series of executive actions. One of those recommendations includes directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to perform additional research on gun violence, which includes researching violent video games.

Wait, so some patriots want to use a video game to practice their shooting abilities and Jim Sensenbrenner wants to stop them from using a tool to improve their marksmanship? Sensenbrenner is getting soft and is showing his true colors that he doesn't support the 2nd Amendment. First he denounces virtual target practice, then he'll take issue with those patriotic shooting ranges that use Obama cutouts for target practice right here in the county! He had been silent in those as a way to show support, but now gets soft. Jim, I think it's time to retire because you can no longer be trusted to protect our right to bear any and all arms as guaranteed in the constitution and by Jesus. Good men like Paul Ryan vomit at the idea of even demanding person provide a name for purchasing a Tec-9 with 1,500 rounds of armor piercing bullets. Heck, he would even prove that by not allowing anyone who wants that weaponry and to not be allowed to carry wherever and whenever they want because they feel it will protect them when they feel the slightest sense of danger is as Catholic as apple pie!

Just exactly what is it about "denounce" that you don't freaking understand, and why on earth are you confusing the word with "stop"???
One would think that contained in such a verbose rant you would have at least a sentence fragment that applied to the context.

Remember, a video game today will result in World War III tomorrow. Who is Obama to say which game will bring this about is anyone's guess.

There are also video games where people can steal cars, run over people with them, shoot at police officers, and have sex with prostitutes (Grand Theft Auto). That doesn't mean those teenagers are going to commit any of those acts. Get over yourself Jim, and stop trying to censor people.

Way to comprehend what Mr. Sensenbrenner is getting at. Please re-read and report back. K thanks.

Remember when Pacman promoted over-eating and violence against ghosts?
6:14 pm on Thursday, January 17, 2013
Let me get this straight - the videogame uses NRA officials as targets and he is against it. But the NRA using the President's daughters and that he is ok with. Time for this fat ..... to go.
8:20 pm on Thursday, January 17, 2013
What exactly is it about "targets" that you don't understand?

No Ann. You don't have that straight. It's actually pretty limp.

Ralph Abernathy (1926-1990) Ralph
Background and Early Career Ralph David Abernathy was born in Linden, Alabama, on March 11, 1926. The son of a farmer, he served in the army during World War II (1941-45) and afterward enrolled at Alabama State University, in Montgomery, Alabama, graduating with a degree in mathematics in 1950. He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1948. His involvement in political activism began in college, when he led demonstrations protesting the lack of heat and hot water in his dormitory and the dreadful food served in the cafeteria. In 1951 he earned an M.A. in sociology from Atlanta University (later Clark Atlanta University) and then became pastor of the First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. While living in Montgomery he formed a close and enduring partnership with Martin Luther King Jr. The Montgomery
King's Torch Is Passed When
Abernathy's decade-long tenure as SCLC president was marked by internal tension between factions competing for control of the organization's direction. He was frustrated by the growing dispute between younger, more militant members, who advocated protests and dramatic actions, and older, more conservative members, who favored more traditional measures such as marches. Under Abernathy's leadership the SCLC's fund-raising campaigns were less than successful, which placed the organization on an unstable financial footing. Abernathy resigned in 1977 amid accusations of financial mismanagement, leaving a once substantial and prominent civil rights organization in decline. That same year he ran for a Georgia congressional seat and lost. After vacating his leadership post in the SCLC, Abernathy resumed his work as a full-time minister in Atlanta. He has received many awards, most notably honorary degrees from Long Island University in New York, Morehouse College in Atlanta, Kalamazoo College in Michigan, and his alma mater, Alabama State University. A major Atlanta highway is named in his honor. His autobiography, And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, was published in 1989. He died in Atlanta on April 17, 1990.

I bought this because I was sick of having hundreds of small boxes in a drawer and not knowing where my great accessories were. IT FITS EVERYTHING. The price is steep but its beautiful and offers everything I need when holding my items. Plus the travel case is quite nice and I no longer get my necklaces tangled. A must have.

Warren Buffett Owns this Dividend Stock. Should You?
Kyle is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When the Oracle of Omaha buys a stock investors take notice. Buffett has continually been adding to his position in Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) since he initially purchased shares in the early 1990's. Today Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) owns 411 million shares, making Well's Fargo one of Buffett's largest holdings.
So the greatest investor in the World clearly believes in the stock. But does that mean that you should too?
The Bullish Case
In 1852 Wells Fargo opened its doors and began its operations. Little did the owners know that 160 years later it would stand as one of the largest financial institutions in the World.
Today the company continues to expand. From 1970 till present the company has grown its earnings per share and book value by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 9%. Additionally the company pays a fairly substantial dividend of around 2.6%, which it has grown by a CAGR of around 6.3%. This isn't bad; especially when one considers the recent financial debacle the World just went through.
Additionally as the largest holder of mortgages in the U.S., Wells Fargo will stand to benefit once housing starts to recover (which it inevitably will).
Finally the company trades at only 11.5 times trailing twelve month earnings, and 9.5 times forward looking earnings. This is cheap compared to the S&P's current PE of 16.5.
The Bearish Case
While Wells Fargo may look cheap relative to the S&P, it is not necessarily cheap relative to other banks. JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM) for example trades for under 9 times earnings, and yields 3.1%. With shares beaten up from its two billion dollar trading mishap it is quite possible that JPM currently offers a better buy to investors than Wells Fargo.
Additionally bank stocks, and the market as a whole could take a nosedive if Europe begins to show more economic weakness. If the EU cannot figure out a way to sort out the mess they are in, then it is quite possible that we see another downturn in the global economy. This will have a negative effect on stocks in general and financial companies like Wells Fargo will see their share prices decline substantially.
Financial companies also have to worry about regulatory risk. With many elections coming up, as well as the current unpopularity of financial institutions, it is quite possible that politician's will try to pass legislation that has a dampening effect on the profitability of banks. Fortunately for companies such as Wells Fargo the gridlock that currently exists in Washington will limit the amount of (potentially harmful) legislation that can be passed.
Buffett has stated in the past that he expects housing to pickup. Perhaps this is the reason why he is so bullish on Wells Fargo. Still there are many other stocks that he could have bought. Lowe's Corp (NYSE: LOW) for example offers a nearly identical yield to WFC, has a much higher growth rate, and stands to benefit from a housing recovery also. Perhaps the thing that made Buffett interested in Wells Fargo over other housing plays such as Lowe's was the company's long and steady track record. Buffett likes to buy companies like Coca-Cola that will likely be around 100 years from now. With 160 years of history behind it, it will be very likely that WFC stays around for another 100 years.
Wells Fargo does have a few things to worry about, namely the problems that could arise out of Europe, but it is very unlikely that these things will take down the company given their conservative management and great track record.
The company has rewarded shareholders well over the years, and probably will continue to reward shareholders well in the years to come. It would be unwise for investors to bet against Buffett on Wells Fargo.

7. | basking ridge | ||
The wealthiest and whitest in New Jersey. Most of the men that live in Basking Ridge are doctors, buisness men or owners of a buisness and have huge houses. The women or "soccer moms" of Basking Ridge all drive their huge suberbans and can't parallel park for their lives. The most commenly driven cars are mercedes benz, lexus, bmw and suberbans. The teens are all posers and are emos, goths, wiggers, or aberzombies. Most of the girls and some of the boys wear A&F and Hollister everyday and think they surf and go to the beach everyday. MOST of the people that wear skate cloths in basking ridge don't skate. And my least favorite of all the fashion trends in basking ridge is the "popped collar" look. this is when guys pop their shirt collars and wear those flat hats and wear shoes a black guy in the bronx would be wearing. The only reason Basking Ridge has a good school district is because of our asian friends from the hills. At night most of the roads are pitch black with no street lights and its very dangerous. A lot of the teens that drive, drive 5 miles over the speed limit to think they are badass. a lot of the high schoolers smoke weed or drink. I live in this town and it needs much improvement guy: i live in basking ridge and im rich, smoke weed, drive over the speed limit, think im black and i dont skate
1. | Basking Ridge | ||
A smallish disgustingly rich town in New Jersey. Defining characteristics include SUVs, loads of money, and a largely preppy lifestyle.
A good indication that you are a Basking Ridge resident is that when you crashed your mercedes on the turnpike on the way to a Dave Matthews Band concert because you were driving while high, your parents immediately bought you a new BMW. Everybody wants to get as far away from Basking Ridge as possible for college.
2. | Basking Ridge | ||
A small, upper class town in Somerset County, New Jersey. About a 45 minute drive outside New York City, although most people opt for the hour long train ride (with Poland Spring bottles full of vodka, of course) to see Dave Matthews. You can tell when you enter Basking Ridge because the only cars you will pass are Mercedes, BMW's, Lexuses, Jags, Jettas and Jeeps... oh yeah, and your occasional Bernards High coke-head in a station wagon, skateboard included. The cops in Basking Ridge don't know what to do with themselves, so traditionally they will find out where a house party is, and wait for everyone to leave instead of break it up because - naturally - everyone drives home drunk, and its alot more fun to hand out DUI's. What's the harm in driving drunk when you can get from anywhere to anywhere in Basking Ridge in under 5 minutes? Real Basking Ridge residents know that the Hills is definately not part of town, but the best parties are usually there... with the exception of "the barn" where beruit, not (dear GOD) beer pong, is played almost every night. Also, if you leave your garage door open, expect to get all your beer stolen out of the standard outside fridge. The Short Hills and Bridgewater Malls are both extremely close, and everyone knows the reason why Bridgewater Mall isn't so trashy anymore is because Basking Ridge kids ran all the Immaculata and Bridgewater kids out. Everyone in Basking Ridge has played soccer at some point, and the high school team wil... more...
3. | basking ridge | ||
preppiest (and probably richest) suburb in new jersey. where the rich-of-the-rich and the preppy-of-the-preppy live. DMB and Coldplay echo through the streets and pink-and-green is worn in generous amounts (on both genders). See preppy and WASP "Look at those guys sporting pink and green over there. They must be from Basking Ridge"
4. | basking ridge | ||
Wow, to say what you've heard so far is completely insane. The people who complain about BAsking Ridge are either emos just looking for a way to hate on their own town or people who just stereo-type it. If college kids want to get out so bad its just because they don't appreciate how lucky they are to live in a wonderful town. THe town is mostly green and historical to its 17th century past. To stereo type this town as a prep or attempted ghetto would be stupid considering most of every where is like that now-a-days. THe town has some really good schools and some incredible programs. Living here is a dream and people who don't appreciate it deserve to be thrown in a desert wasteland and consider that to the "blow hole" of basking ridge.
Basking Ridge is really small and its not much of a tourist attraction, and the Hills is a huge neighborhood that seems to be the only place in town to get lost in. To describe the kinds of kids, which all the other brats here did. It is a very cliqued society and most people have their own lunch table, club etc. All in all Basking Ridge is like paradise in the middle of the armpit of AMerica and it feels like it belongs somewhere else. ITs convient for those guys who have a job in New York or Newark. Its an oasis Basking Ridge is a great opertunity. All kids who where pink and green will fail in life and it sucks that our town is stereo typed by those idiots

Basking Ridge is a rich town, but not as disgustingly rich as you might have heard. It does have some (kinda)poor people. This is a very nice town with very low crime rates, and not everyone has a fancy car. The schools are some of the top in NJ and almost everyone goes to college. This (for me) is the best place on earth, and I'm probebly going to live here the rest of my life. I obviously live in Basking Ridge
6. | basking ridge | ||
Quite possibly the greatest place on Earth found in the greatest state in the union. Where the power tripping cops run rampid, teens smoke low-grade marajuana, soccer moms floor their suburban's full throttle, and where every kid is looking for a good handout. Screw going to NYC for the holidays, I'm saddling up the sleddogs and going to Basking Ridge! WHO-WHO!

A nice design that I found quite difficult to solve. After finally solving it I looked at the solution and noticed the printed solution was different in one place, probably simpler. This move (step 4 in the printed solution) I find difficult to do even with the page in front of me. Interestingly, when reassembling, this move is not tricky, and this was the key for me to be able to reverse it reliably. Well done Mr. Hess!

Our View: The next 'fiscal cliff'
So a deal was reached this week that, experts say, temporarily spares the American economy from falling off the proverbial "fiscal cliff."
With the Jan. 1 deadline looming, Democrats and Republicans in both the Senate and House compromised on President Barack Obama's campaign promise to raise taxes on the richest 2 percent of Americans.
Instead, the income-tax rate on the top 0.7 percent of Americans, individuals making more than $400,000 annually or families making more than $450,000, will increase.

After looking through PopSugar's photos of Hollywood couples locking lips, we were feeling inspired to show some of our favorite smooches from 2010 as well — the ones from the big screen. Several actors got it on for the cameras this year, from Natalie Portman in Black Swan to Robert Pattinson in Eclipse and Remember Me (that guy gets around!). Check out this list of the memorable tender moments that sent our hearts racing.
Which Movie Romance Is the Best of 2010?
Isn't it amazing how an onscreen couple can set our hearts aflutter? We escape through them, perhaps swoon a little as they experience their first kiss, and maybe even shed a few tears when they break up. In 2010, all eyes were on these couples as they showcased their chemistry on the silver screen. Which gets your vote as the best romance of the year?
Don't forget to vote in all of our Best of 2010 polls!
What Is the Best Romantic Comedy of 2010?
Romantic comedies are the refreshing confections of the movie world — light, airy, and fun (and sometimes just a little bit cheesy). Whether you love them or loathe them, Hollywood cranked out more sweet stories of love with a touch of laughs this year, some a bit better than others. What 2010 romantic comedy is your favorite?
Don't forget to vote on all of my Best of 2010 polls!
Who Are the Best Dude Buddies of 2010?
If the movies of the past couple of years are any indication, people love a good bromance. Big-screen friendships between men procure both laughs and heartwarming moments, from comedies like Hot Tub Time Machine to more dramatic films like The King's Speech. Which of these dude buddies were your favorite of 2010?

What to Rent: New DVDs This Week
Whether you're looking for romance, action, or a little bit of both, this week's new DVDs will keep you entertained. Along with these three releases, you can also rent Vampires Suck and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Out on DVD this Saturday, the third installment in the Twilight franchise picks up as Victoria prepares her army of newborn vampires to destroy Bella. In order to protect her, rivals Jacob and Edward must ban together and put their differences aside (even though Edward and Bella's recent engagement is an obvious thorn in Jacob's side). Many critics called the film the best of the series so far, thanks to sharp fight scenes and CGI. Fans should choose the Special Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo version, which includes deleted scenes, audio commentary with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, a 90-minute making-of documentary, photo gallery, music videos, and more.
Going the Distance
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long star as a new couple trying to keep up a long distance relationship on separate coasts. When they're not texting or using Skype, they're receiving unsolicited advice from their friends (Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis) and family (Christina Applegate). Though romantic comedies are often a dime a dozen, this one is charming, relatable, and surprisingly non-sappy. DVD extras include deleted scenes, but the Blu-ray also features interviews with the cast about the dos and don'ts of long distance, and advice on how to have the perfect date.

Resident Evil Has a Healthy Afterlife at the Box Office
No wonder Resident Evil's Alice is in the running for most kickass female character of all time. Resident Evil: Afterlife scored big at the box office, taking in $27.7 million in its opening weekend. It completely smoked Takers and last week's champ, The American. Those films took a distant second and third place with $6.1 and $5.8 million, respectively.
Rounding up the lackluster weekend was Machete, which grossed $4.2 million and Going the Distance with $3.8 million. I'd say the Summer of blockbusters is officially over, so let's bring on those exciting new Fall movies!
Box Office: The American Waves Its Flag at Number One
George Clooney proved that he's still got it as his newly-released movie The American took the number one spot at the box office with 12.9 million over Labor Day weekend. Nipping at its heels was box office surprise Takers, which finished at second with $11.5 million (it pulled off a similar feat last weekend).
Robert Rodriguez's campy Machete managed to land in the third place with an $11.3 million haul, followed by last week's No. one, The Last Exorcism (which earned $7.6 million). The Drew Barrymore/Justin Long romantic comedy Going the Distance didn't quite go the distance with a mere $6.9 million, but it did round out the top five.
Going the Distance Style: Erin
In this very romantic scene from Going the Distance, Drew Barrymore's character, Erin, gets up close and personal with Justin Long's character. Avert your eyes from the action and peep her very cute outfit: cropped railroad-stripe jeans, floral blouse, striped socks, and plaid shoes. Certainly an eclectic look, but cute nonetheless. Shop it all now.
Going the Distance Style: Corinne
While talking to her sister Erin (played by Drew Barrymore), Corinne (Christina Applegate) lounges outside in a casual, comfy look. From the purple bandana to the floral cardigan and the double layer of tanks, the whole outfit is perfect for a Sunday morning spent doing the Times crossword. Get the look with these similar pieces.
Watch, Pass, or Rent: The American and Going the Distance
Labor Day weekend is practically begging for at least one movie outing, so if you're planning on hitting up the theater, check out what we have to say about new releases The American and Going the Distance. Watch now!

Artist: Omar Rodriguez Lopez
Album Title: Telesterion
Label: Rodriguez Lopez Productions
Review by: Eric Stuckart
It is pretty well documented that Omar Rodriguez Lopez is both a maniac and a workaholic, musically speaking. In the last decade, give or take, he's taken part in over 20 recordings, not counting live albums, compilations, one-offs, or his work with The Mars Volta. I've theorized that the man simply cannot sit still, and it is possible that he even writes and records in his sleep. (more…)

John McCain Endorses Tom Cotton in AR 4th District Congressional Race
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: May 3, 2012
Tom Cotton posted the following announcement on his campaign website today:
Senator John McCain of Arizona, war hero and 2008 Republican presidential nominee, today announced his endorsement of Tom Cotton for the Fourth Congressional District of Arkansas.
"Tom Cotton volunteered to fight for our freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan when he could have continued a promising legal career," said Senator McCain. "We badly need this kind of courage and selfless service in Congress - particularly to address our economic challenges. I'm asking the voters of the Fourth District to send Tom to Congress so he can join the fight for freedom there."
Tom Cotton served nearly five years on active duty in the U.S. Army. He left his law practice because of the 9/11 attacks, declining a JAG commission and volunteered instead to be an Infantry officer and Army Ranger. Tom deployed to Baghdad with the 101st Airborne, where he led an infantry platoon in daily combat patrols. Tom also deployed to Afghanistan as the operations officer for a provincial reconstruction team. Between those combat tours, Tom was a platoon leader with The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. Tom's military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Ranger Tab, Combat Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, and Iraq Campaign Medal.
"I am deeply honored to earn Senator McCain's endorsement," said Tom Cotton. "He was an American hero before he ever put his name on a ballot. Few Americans have given--or could give--as much to their country. I will work hard to represent the people of the Fourth District with the same courage, service, and dedication to spending restraint that Senator McCain has shown throughout his distinguished career."

Please, does anyone have a clue about scheduling a print job?
I would like to print several small jobs during the weekend to prevent the print headers to dry (my versacamm is in a really hot place when we are closed and the conditioned air is off).
I need to know how to schedule print jobs, we are at the doors of the holidays, and I'm expecting the worse for the return!! I think that if I schedule one or two small print jobs a day the headers will not dry.
Thank you in advance

One of our favorite homegrown street artists from New York is Curtis Kulig. If you pay attention to the NYC landscape, chances are you have seen his "Love Me" tag written on hundreds of surfaces throughout the city.
He has since expanded his work from the streets to galleries spanning from Las Vegas to London and back to NY, which has to include much more than street art.
PHOTOS: Obey Just Wants You To "Love Me" & Their Spring Artist Series
Kulig's artwork takes up a lot of his living space, but the real magic happens in a studio that is just a few blocks away from his downtown apartment.
Bobby Hundreds, of the Hundreds, got a chance to visit Kulig in his downtown New York apartment and his studio space close by and he documented the entire thing.
STORY: The Love Me & Skullphone "Sculpture" Exhibit In NY
Take a look at the pictures from Curtis' apartment and his studio space, plus some of his Love Me artwork in the gallery above for our first segment of Global Grind - Work Spaces.

"Have you ever heard of insect politics? Insects don't have politics. They're very... brutal. No compassion, no compromise. We can't trust the insect. I'd like to become the first... insect politician. Y'see, I'd like to, but..." --Seth Brundle, The Fly (1986) Last week's post got me thinking about poets as public voices, presuming to, or being presumed to, speak for those who can't or don't speak for themselves--in short, poets as political animals.

I am trying to set up a "buy $15 or more and get 15% off your order" discount.
I did a search and came up with a similar thread, but it dealt with discounts based on multiples of ONE product purchased.
I sell digital products, so what I would like to do is have this discount apply on ANYTHING the customer purchases that totals $15 or more. NOT based on multiples of one product, as that doesn't apply to my shop.
Is this possible? How would I set it up?
Thank in advance!

Ugh! I'm thinking I'm all that with this new 2TB EHD from
Costco - moving in, setting up, and I'll be all set with triple redundancy on my back ups, right?
Well, when I added the new EHD I had to move around all my other USB things in the ports to accomodate the new one, so now all my presets like Scrips that depend on locations don't work!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
It's an easy fix, I'll just reload all my stuff. It's just time consuming and unexpected!

The Facebook page of Devin Tate Gardner has become an impromptu memorial to the Scotland High School senior killed Thursday afternoon in an automobile accident.
Gardner was killed when his car ran off Highland Road and crashed into a tree, according to the state Highway Patrol. The wreck happened at 4:53 p.m, according to a preliminary report. Gardner of 12901 Gibson Road was traveling west when his 2000 Chevrolet crossed the center line and hit a tree, the report said.
Filled with recollections from classmates and family members, Gardner's Facebook "wall" has evolved into a virtual meeting place for those coping with the loss of the 17-year-old Laurinburg native.
"It's hard to believe you're gone man. I just saw you yesterday at school…you will be missed man thanks for always being there for us," wrote classmate Cody Smith.
Another of Gardner's friends wrote "Love you man, I'll never forget you."
SHS classmate Leslie Floyd recalled her time at church with Gardner: "I can't believe you're gone. We've known each other since we were like three. We always used to get into friendly debates at church but I know that you always had my back. I'll miss you but I know you're with God now."
The school system offered formal psychological support for students to deal with the sudden death. School board member Terence Williams said on Friday that the high school has arranged for counseling support staff to "descend on Scotland High School to help the students matriculate through the grieving process."
The photos Gardner uploaded to his page before his death reveal an interest in music and in Scotland High School, where Gardner had recently become the first bass guitar player in the SHS concert band. Gardner also played handbells at First Baptist Church, where he was an active member.
A memorial service for Gardner will be held at 4 p.m. on Monday at the First Baptist Church.
He is survived by his parents David and Sally Witmore Gardner, his grandmother Katie Witmore, his uncles Jim Gardner (Dawn), Kenny Gardner, and Gary Gardner (Ann), his aunts Ellen (J. R.) Best and Sylvia Witmore.
Born on Oct. 28, 1994 in Wilmington, Gardner attended Covington Street Elementary School as well as Spring Hill and Carver Middle Schools before advancing to Scotland High School, where he had just started his senior year.
The family will receive friends from 5-8 p.m. on Sunday at the McDougald Funeral Home and Crematorium and following the service at the First Baptist Church fellowship hall.
Maxton fatality
A Maxton woman died also died on Thursday when a driver ran a stop sign at Airport and Old Lumberton roads and struck the vehicle in which she was riding, the Highway Patrol said.
The wreck happened at 10:35 a.m. about seven miles east of Laurinburg, according to a report filed by Trooper Hugh Dixon.
Betty Strickland, 65, of 1214 S. Austin St., was a passenger in the car that was hit in the side, Dixon's preliminary report said.
The names of the drivers were not immediately available, but the report said both were seriously injured.

Battlefield 3 is a fast paced first-person shooter developed by Electronic Arts Digital Illusions CE and has been published by EA, or Electronic Arts. Battlefield 3 is a sequel to Battlefield 2 which released in 2005. The game uses the latest Frostbite 2 game engine for rendering the graphics and the in-game physics. Battlefield 3 uses EA's Origin software to authenticate when you connect the game to the internet.
In the game's campaign mode, which involves the Single Player missions, you can take on the role of several military personas ranging from a Weapons system officer, M1A2 Abrams tank operator, Force Recon Marine to a GRU Spetsnaz operative. The locations for the missions also vary in demographics, ranging from Iran to New York City. The game features fighter jets that can be used in gameplay, adding more energy into the game.
The game kicks off in the year 2014 with Staff Sergeant Blackburn being interrogated. Since the missions being played are in effect, flashbacks of the sergeant, they do not play out in any chronological order. In the campaign mode however, the events start off near the Iraq and Iran border. Here, the United States Marines are fighting the People's Liberation and Resistance army. There are even missions that are set in Paris, and other European and US destinations.
The Multiplayer Mode in Battlefield 3 sees players take on the roles of Assault, Support, Engineer or Recon operatives. The Assault operatives focus on assault rifles and healing their teammates. Support class operatives focus on Light Machine Guns and Supplying Ammunition to their teammates. The Engineers focus on supporting, maintaining and destroying vehicles. Recon Class operatives mainly Snipe and spot enemies for the rest of the team.
Realism is key in Battlefield 3, as the game mechanics reflect. Using the new game engine, it has been made possible to use Bipods with compatible weapons like Sniper rifles. The use of a Bipod is optional, though it is highly recommended as it fully utilizes the Frostbite 2 game engine to add realism to the firing mechanism. It greatly improves accuracy while cutting down on recoil when the bipod is used as compared to without it. Laying down suppressive fire reduces the visibility of the player due to vision blur effect and this greatly affects accuracy.
The Frostbite 2 game engine is a highly advanced algorithm that can realistically portray the destruction of buildings and the environment to a much higher level than the previous versions. The new engine also has the capability to support dense urban areas and highly detailed graphics and animations. The Battlefield 3 PC game received a PEGI rating of 16 for scenes and gameplay involving military grade violence and destruction. Hardcore gamers will love the multiplayer aspect of the game as much as the highly engaging Single Player campaign.

Guys buy this game! and play multiplayer because thats what the game is good at. I am already kicking A** royally.
Points to remember - the graphics of this game is killer - mind blowing. Activision should start learning from EA and Dice. Anyways you need a GOOD comp for this. I upgraded my comp just for this game.
My config - Intel Quad Core 2600K
RAM - 8GB DDR3 Corsair
GFX card - Nvidia GTX 570
Asus Gaming Motherboard
I am proud to say that I bought all of the above components from Flipkart (you guys rock!)
Second point - you need a good internet connection (minimum 1 mbps).
GO BF3!!!!!!!! Find me - GuruB1
OMG........yes thiis word came from my mouth when i play this game ...actully when this game was released i buyed pirated version of it but it jus ended in 3 hours max......and m not yet satisfied coz everyday i hear the praises of this game multiplayer ...so for 45 days i collected my pocket money to get this game again but genuine and yes i got it..and i must say that my money has been fully utilised ......coz this game deserves it,,although i have standard edition of it but within few days m also buying its expansion pack back to karkand .......after buying this game and assassin creed and nfs the run i realised that piracy is jus for loosers who jus represnt false passion for games..so stop piracy and buy this game eyesa closed coz this game will blow ur mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,:)
i'll be as brief as possible because i can't wait to get back into the action of the multiplayer match. yes the BATTLEFIELD 3 is here to blow you away. graphics especially on PC are well .... speechless. you don't want to look back at your world after watching the frosbite 2.0 rendered well out there in this game. the game has been well optimised and whatever issues keep arising are being handled efficiently and timely by DICE. now the sound effects and music. don't tell me you don't feel an awesome action feeling when you listen to the war drums in the main theme of the game.. it's just amazing and makes you wanna come back again to blow something. and the sound effects of the guns, explosions, tanks, choppers, jets.....PHEWW!. if you've got a good surround sound system or good headphones then this game literally embraces you and immerses into the action.
now the main feature of the game is what makes it great. MULTIPLAYER. the devs have put a library of unlockables for you to keep you going-on in here. and the action here feels quite real... in the sense that you've to work with your team mates in order to win a match properly. and game also rewards you to work co-operatively. i mean i have seen top players in matches who've had less kills than the players who are in the lower ranks. spot an enemy, disable a vehicle, capture flags stealthily, provide air support with jets and choppers etc. the killing business is not a sloppy business here which you can run by blindly shooting the guns. use c4, provide ammo and medical assistance, provide suppresive cover fire. there's a lot to do on these battlefields.
now i ordered a limited edition so i'm getting to play the Back To Karkand part here but what i don't like a little bit is how the devs didn't put as mush destruction in other maps that were provided on day one as they put in B2K maps. quite insignificant yet noticeable.
the singleplayer portion is worth playing through once. the story is good enough if not very new and great. but it's scripted action sequences don't provide as much excitement as the random immidiate-action situations you keep yourself finding in the multiplayer.
lastly i may sound too dramatic but... this is especially for gamers in india who, despite of having passion for gaming, think spending money on an original is a waste when you can easily buy pirated version for much, much less... the fact is if you're pirating this game and treating it like any other action game whose single player action is the only thing matters to you then that money you spent on buying the pirated version or the data you consume if you're downloading is also waste because there are lot of better games out there with better single player but this game deserves every penny for what it was made for ...THE MULTIPLAYER. i understand how hard it is to earn money but then if you're pirating the game when gaming is your passion then you're only cheating yourself here and the great devs at DICE who put their hard work in this to earn their living.
P.S.- for multiplayer though i recommend having a wired broadband connection of minimum 1 mbps if you wanna play having more than 32 players but for the 64 player matches you definitely need to have a 2 mbps connection.
Single Player : NA, Boring, Stupid
Multiplayer: Awesome, Superb , Fantastic, Amazing
The Multiplayer of BF3 is highly addictive , Rewarding and Fantastically designed. It rewards you every now and then and keeps you hooked on. Its a must buy for all Multiplayer fans. Note that its singleplayer sucks but at this price Multiplayer part is worth it.
It also has 6 CO-OP missions that you and your friends can complete together and it will unlock some cool stuff in Multiplayer Part.
Here is what some of the Critics say about this game:
- "Regardless of the narrative missteps or the occasional glitches, Battlefield 3 offers an unforgettable, world-class multiplayer suite that's sure to excite shooter fans."
-Joystiq: Multiplayer experience as "unmatched", that this should be the sole reason to buy the game.
- Gamespot: "The deep multiplayer mode, great variety of vehicles, many well-designed environments, and a great reward system for team play"
- "The most expansive, refined Battlefield multiplayer yet"
and Flipkart delivery facility is amazing.. Got it on second day... Flipkart FTW.
If you want to get HIGH without actually taking something that is banned I recommend this game. Its multiplayer is darn addictive. I have already cracked 180+ hours of multiplayer till date. I spent 12 hours at a stretch and never felt bored out of it. I pre-ordered a Limited Edition which gave me access to the Physical Warfare pack, which was of not much use to me as this was my 1st FPS (I am more of a FIFA guy). Getting killed the moment I spawned was a everyday story in the beginning. Now I'm a Colonel Rank 2. Got the DLC B2K, also as a part of Limited Edition pre-order. With its Frostbite 2.0 engine the destruction and ambiance looks utterly inviting. If you own a large screen LED TV, a good home theater system, a gaming range mouse and keyboard then, well, you will surely feel like actually walking the Battlefield. My experience with Flipkart for this order was a bit so so as there was a delay in shipping and also during mailing the pre-order free activation codes. But they are slowly proving these as history as my other orders after this just flew the other day itself. Kudos to them as well. We need more and more of deals and games/accessories from you.
