Professional Development
What inspires you?
Speaking out against injustice. Advocacy for less privilege and those who are unable to plead their cause. seeking and reaching out for change is what inspire me. I want to see young adults making an impact in their world. I like to challenge young people to be more aware of the issues that affect them and using appriopriate advocacy skills to seek a change in policies, culture and traditions that help perpetuate these issues.
Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.
The issue of education is one that really matters to me--education that brings about conscientization and action in people not passive brain washing education.Reading Paulo Freire - the Brazilian educationist's book titled pedagogy of the oppressed was an eye opener for me. i began to question the very system of education that makes people the way they are especially in my country Nigeria and other countries in the majority world. Then I became involved through participation in workshops on civic education and life skills for young people. There I discovered that a number of us young people do not really possess the skills to make that difference that we so desire. I joined one of the organisations that run such workshops as a volunteer, but now I am a programme's team member in the organisation and have developed a manual on life skills.
Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.
I believe a good leader is one that is visionary and is able to share this vision with the followers. She/He shouild mostly be able to mobilise the available resource through participative team work to make the vision a reality.I prefer to use the word effective leader, because a good leader is one who is effective in balancing both the task and relationship needs of the group. That is that the leader should be able to ensure that the work done is done by those whose duty it is to do the work and also that they do it in the spirit of love and onessess. If you can lead a small organisation (even the family) like this, you can lead a nation.
Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.
Yes! TakingITGlobal can and is already helping me to achieve some of my thoughts and goals on the issue of education, awareness raising and advocacy that am passionate about. It has given my the platform to make my vioce heard on these issues, at the same time allowing young adults to participate in the global debates on these issues so they can share their thought and acquire new skills that can help them make that impact. It is not enough to just sit as young people and blame the world and everyone in it for all the ills in the society. We have got to actively work for the change we want to see. TakingITGlobal is one way am doing this.

Led lights
LED is the biggest thing in light since electric light was invented. It shines for over 20 years, can be built into lamps for new designs, and uses a sliver of the energy of incandescent bulbs. LED lights are the sustainable choice, and the smart, functional choice. In our range, we have both LED bulbs and LED lamps that work perfectly together.
LED lights for your home - at value for money prices
LED lights have really taken off in the past few years and we now have lamps and bulbs for your whole home. Our TIVED series has just about every type of lamp in it - from ceiling spotlights, to floor and table lamps. They all have flexible arms so that you can shine the light exactly where you want it. LED bulbs don't have to be very big, so LED lights are often slim and sleek. They're great for small spaces, or if you just like this kind of elegant design. And as they don't get too warm, LED lighting strips are great for use inside storage so you can easily find what you're looking for.
The planet likes LED lights and bulbs too
Lighting your home uses a lot of electricity. It takes a big bite out of your budget and it doesn't do the environment any favours either. LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy to produce the same light as traditional bulbs, and they also last a lot longer. You save electricity and don't have to buy new bulbs and dispose of the old ones so often. So LED lights and bulbs are good news for your bank balance and for the planet. You'll find more ways that we can help to make a better future together on our 'People and the Environment' pages. Just follow the link below.

Summary of True Legend
Reviews for True Legend
An Excerpt from True Legend
#1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica makes his return to the basketball court! There's a reason teammates call him "True." Because for basketball phenom Drew Robinson, there is nothing more true than his talent on the court. It's the kind that comes along once in a generation and is loaded with perks--and with problems. Before long, True buys in to his own hype, much to the chagrin of his mother, who wants to keep her boy's head grounded--and suddenly trouble has a way of finding him. That is, until a washed-up former playground legend steps back onto the court and takes True under his wing. In this age of street agents promising riches to kids barely out of elementary school and college programs being taken down because of recruiting violations, True Legend is a resonant and inspiring novel in the Lupica tradition. |

Snack on these food combos and enjoy a better slumber
By: Ashton Darnell
If you could snack on certain foods that would help you to enjoy a better nights sleep, would you? Of course you would! There are plenty different food combos out there that can help you to fall to sleep, and assist in an uninterrupted slumber.
Here are some of our favorites:
Indulge in Carbs
Although we are generally told to avoid the tempting carb-heavy foods, they can actually help with the sleep process. Carbohydrates can help to induce the level of tryptophan in the blood stream which can help to induce sleep. Couple your late night carbs with a little dairy like yogurt or milk for an increased effect.
Enjoy Dairy
Not only does dairy sound delicious late at night, but dairy also contains the sleep-inducing tryptophan. Tryptophan is that magic little substance that has coined the idea of a warm glass of milk helping us fall asleep at night. You can also find tryptophan in items such as nuts, bananas and eggs.
Avoid Caffeine
Sure, you know to avoid having a late night cup of coffee if your goal is to get some sleep, but do you know where else caffeine may be lurking? Many medications contain caffeine in them, so make sure to check the label prior to taking medications pre-bedtime. Caffeine can also be found in items like chocolate, tea and soda. The recommended time to cut out the caffeine before bed it about four to six hours pre-sleep.
In addition to the above mentioned foods to enjoy and avoid, there are a few extra tips that we'd like for you to take away. The best nights sleep is an uninterrupted nights sleep. Cut out fluids by at least 8pm to avoid getting up for the bathroom in the middle of the night. And, try to avoid things like high-fat foods and alcohol in the evening as these can increase your chances for an interrupted nights sleep.
What do you think about this topic? Do you have a favorite late night snack? Share your thoughts with us on Facebook and Twitter!

Sun TV (aka Fox North): No Goths; only vandals
Sun TV (aka Fox North): No Goths; only vandals
Full disclosure: I have not actually spent any time watching the new Sun TV channel, which promised in its debut last week to bring Fox News-style partisanship to the Canadian airwaves. But one of my favourite provocateurs sent me the Youtube link below to a skit in which Ethical Oil author Ezra Levant belligerently prunes a tiny cedar as an insult to "Saint Suzuki" and a Koran-burning-style assault on the sanctity of Earth Day.
Seriously. Mr. Tough Guy can't even start his own chainsaw.
Regrettably, I have been unable to confirm the rumour that, for his next demonstration of man's dominion over nature, Levant is going to buy a really pretty ficus - and not water it.
- Richard Littlemore's blog

Even if you bought into this blokes faith of creation this should be an insult. Sure, the bible is pretty clear that we should use what's given to us to exploit, but he does nothing but spit on "God's creation" for entertainment. It sits well with the accelerating extinction rate over the past two centuries to be a crime/sin against all other species whatever your supernatural slant may be. He's an idiot.
Pretty strong opinion for someone who admits they do not have the facts, ie, they don't watch the station.
Fairly typical of the so called environmental movement though, facts are just a nuisance to them.
You don't have to see much of their nonsense about the oil sands to figure out why the greens are losing credibility in the real world.

Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken NFLPA exec DeMaurice Smith, referring to Dr. David Chao, says Chargers players "deserve to have a doctor not found liable of malpractice." Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken DeMaurice Smith singled out Dr. Chao in NFLPA press conference. Wasn't asked about him directly. Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken I'm told NFL Players Union has asked the league to find a suitable replacement to Chargers team doctor David Chao. Story coming shortly.
My favorite is what Gehlken just revised Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken NFLPA requests new team doctor for the Chargers: http://utsd.us/YmqzNF "No wait!" Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken NFLPA demands new team doctor for the Chargers "Pure gold Gehlky, Pure Gold"
While I agree and will be overjoyed if/when Chao is given his walking papers - if for no other reason than it hopefully brings someone more competent and capable to help keep our players healthy. I do think that the hyperbolic position being taken by the NFLPA is absolutely hysterical in how hypocritical it is. I've recently read comments from both the PA's president, Dominique Foxworth, and their head rep, DeMaurice Smith, both slinging mud at the league for "caring more about their bottom line than player safety." If this were quite the case they're trying to make out then the league - who had an IMMENSE amount of leverage in the last collective bargaining dispute - wouldn't have conceded the kind of medical benefits (lifetime comprehensive medical for any player who makes a single game day active roster) if this were the case. But moreover, the hypocrisy comes from the fact that the majority of the players themselves have been operating with this same mindset they accuse the league/owners of ("financial bottom line/gains of greater import than player safety") for quite some time. Players have gone out of their way to hide injuries from their coaches and team medical staff at a considerable rate - and while yes, some of it is "the competitive spirit" and the player wanting to "tough through it", more often it's because this league is a "what have you done for me lately?" environment, where - well... just look at Alex Smith, lost his starting gig and is now likely to find himself out of contract and searching for a new job because he got injured, the guy below him on the depth chart got an opportunity, and said guy seized said opportunity and never looked back. I'm not trying to sound like a coldhearted bastard, but I'm merely interested in fairness all around. How exactly is it fair that the league isn't allowed to put earnings potential before player safety without being vilified and the players' own union & players themselves are without expectation of similar repercussion?
I assure you this will ENSURE that Chao stays as the Chargers doctor, and that's the worst possible situation
Only reason I could think of that the team might go along with it, is if they can peg the "incompetence" the NFLPA is keen to label Chau with as a means of getting an outside evaluation of Gaither when/if he claims another phantom injury - could possibly open doors (if players really are keen on ensuring better safety for themselves - which I doubt, this is merely another attempt at a leverage grab and another bargaining chip) to preventing the kind of "legal fraud" that players like Gaither commit wherein they sign a lucrative contract with a good chunk of guaranteed money and then suddenly "lose the drive" to play through injury that they had when they were in contract years.
The problem is that even though Chao is clearly incompetent, even though he has enough black marks that if he were an attorney his license would be suspended, he will remain because of what the NFLPA has done. No matter how valid Smith's claim was, this has now turned into a power play where the NFLPA is trying to maintain a veto into the decisions of team doctors, something that no owner will allow to stand. Spanos and other owners will likely back Chao on the sole ground that they are fighting something more than just to protect a single doctor but that they will not lose any more power they think they might've or might lose. Ergo, Chao will stay. And the sick irony is that if Chao is dismissed based on sure incompetence then any injury claim against Gaither goes partially out the window because now your team doctor, your strongest witness for the 'fraud' that was his injury has proven himself to be incompetent (even if he was so already). Doesn't matter that other doctors were brought in to investigate, the main fault and blame will be on Chao and therefore on the Chargers. If Gaither would then REALLY want to play his hand he could (and might have a strong case to) sue the Chargers for negligence in not only hiring but continuing to keep Chao in his position (anyone think Dielman might have a reason or two to get involved in that?) I agree with Smith and I agree that Chao has no right to be the doctor. Having said that, this just ensured that Chao not only won't get fired but that it will turn from a simple competency issue into a greater issue of principles and power.
I've been tweeting with Shawne Merriman, and he has a suspicious tweet, i asked him about it, and gave him the story, and he said "well i guess where theres smoke, theirs fire", then i asked him about his experiences with him and he just said "lets just say i liked him as a person"...that really doesn't sound good....
The NFLPA may have brought this up due to pending litigation concerning Gaither and smearing the good doctor before hand makes their case stronger. Beating the bush to jump the rabbits up and getting players to speak out against Chao and misdiagnosis concerning Gaither's back issue would discredit his testimony in court.
Really?........... you can't be serious. Chao is a quack and should be barred from practicing medicine, but this is all some elaborate scheme by the NLPA to prevent Gaither from being found guilty of faking his injury?
We're not speaking of a ham and egg-er like you, we're talking serious dollars not your average Burger King Bounty. Anything is possible for the right hungry fry boy ambulance chaser.
I know the NFLPA makes sure the players safety and money comes first but I doubt they would play part into some elaborate scheme to help a dude fake an injury just so he can get paid to do nothing. I honestly believe it may help us in this case. The NFLPA is looking to help bring somebody in, someone new, who is unfamiliar with the Gaither situation. If he comes in and runs test and says there is not anything wrong with him then it may help the Chargers.
Seriously, the NFLPA declares a witch hunt and everyone lights a torch? In Gelkin's article, some key Boltz players complimented Chao on his surgical skills and IIRC McCoy has already brought in a new training staff to (hopefully) deal with the high rate of injuries that have occurred the past few years. I'm sure we all feel sorry for the woman with the hip problem and the other with frostbite, but what do those lawsuits have to do with Chao as team doctor and surgeon?
Well the fact that he was convicted shows that he's probably not a very good one. Not all doctors are saints, like in any trade there are some people that just get lazy and careless or irresponsible once they start getting comfortable. And to be honest it sounds like Chao has a lot of "off the field issues" if you will.
I don't eat fast food, so I'm not sure what you're babbling on about. If you think that NFLPA policy is being set by Jared Gaither, then I suggest you need more sleep.
You're forgetting the man who had his leg amputated because Chao botched his surgery. I'm sure he feels better knowing that some Chargers think he's a good guy.
You are quite the odd bird. I think Chao should have been replaced years ago without the gripes of the NFLPA. Now, wouldn't the NFLPA have a hand in Gaithers defense for defrauding Spanos of millions of dollars???? Setting the table beforehand is always a good choice, I don't know if that's what they're doing but something is going on and that's for sure.
Odd, because I don't frequent burger joints? The NFLPA is asking for independent doctors to evaluate players during the games. Their stance on Chao is consistent with their call for changes with the medical supervision. You don't think that it's just as likely that Charger players have complained about Chao in the past? Who do you think allowed Dielman to get on an airplane after he had a concussion? Do you think there are other team doctors with multiple malpractice offenses? I would think that the NFLPA would hear things from players that they wouldn't feel comfortable saying publicly..... or to the staff. I just find it odd with all the surrounding Chao over the years, that you would assume this has to do with Gaither of all things. Frankly, I think he's the poster boy for questioning just how concerned the owners are about the players health. If a guy like that can stay employed, it weakens the owners position on the issue.
Chargers doctor under review, per rules of the CBAPosted by Darin Gantt on February 1, 2013, 5:00 PM ESTThe NFLPA's request that the Chargers' team doctor be removed is currently in the middle of a review mechanism put in place under the rules of the CBA.Commissioner Roger Goodell cited Article 50 of the collective bargaining agreement, which calls for the establishment of a Joint Committee on Player Safety and Welfare, which is made up of three representatives each from labor and management."Article 50 states that if there's an issue with any medical decision or the medical professionals of a club," Goodell said. "There could be a resolution by meeting with independent doctors, I believe, three different doctors including an NFLPA attorney, and they will review the matter."As I understand it, that's exactly what's going on in San Diego, so we'll allow the process to unfold. But I'm comfortable our doctors make the best possible decisions for the players. We'll stand behind that, we'll engage in the process, and we'll let it unfold."While the NFLPA said the Chargers "deserve better" than Chao, who has been sued for malpractice and has been investigated by the DEA over record-keeping issues.But Chargers center Nick Hardwick, who is also the team's union representative, told Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego he "completely" trusts Chao.Quarterback Philip Rivers echoed those sentiments Friday, saying: "I can only speak of my personal experiences: a successful ACL reconstruction and a meniscus repair, along with other ailments which he provided great care. I have no complaints of the care Dr. Chao has provided me."According to the CBA, the NFLPA has a right to request an investigation by the Joint Committee "if the NFLPA believes that the medical care of a team is not adequately taking care of player safety."That's where we are at the moment, with the process playing out as spelled out in a document both sides agreed to.
Every DeMaurice opens his mouth I just want to punch him. I don't care what he's talking about, I just can't stand that grandstanding jerkoff.

This is the first SWN map of the LSBD prospective area. I would encourage members to add some of the later versions. This is the only one I have saved.
Anybody able to provide a similar map zoomed out and showing the same map extended across the Mississippi River? We are supposed to be just East of the Monroe Dome in Sharkey and Issaquena Counties.
Cal, this is a SWN map and I have never seen one by them that extends into MS. I consider the counties you mention as being in the prospective fairway.
Is that well at Atlanta (Columbia County AR) finished, and is it producing? I have 85 ac SE of Village, and NE of this well site that I have not leased. I think all the land around it has been leased. I also have land south of Mt. Holly, just north of Hwy 82 in Union County, but it has all been leased.

Thanks for the link, Ed!
It zooms in real close, but I don't think there are links to give it more detail - such as old wells, smaller roads, property ownershiip, oilfields or leases. (Just wishing for the moon here; I'm sure that would simplify life for landmen too, but that would take all the fun out of their jobs.)
Anyhow, its good!
Anybody heard of any activity or potential activity in Miller County Arkansas? or is it to far west? or are companies slowly working toward Miller? Thanks for any information that may br available.

After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |

Decorating with…Math?
Tuesday, May 10th, 2011Math has never been a friend of mine…and I'm not sure why that is exactly. I've always dismissed our dynamic as "just not having enough in common". Math is so precise and exact. So right or wrong. There's no wiggle room with Math. No drama or intrigue, no gray areas. I thrive in gray areas…I mean, what color doesn't work with gray, right y'all?

Pasadena Public Library has hosted the One City, One Story program since 2002. Here are the most recent programs.
The idea of getting a community together to discuss a single book actually arose in Seattle and quickly spread across the US, coming to Pasadena in 2002. Since beginning, the Pasadena Public Library has hosted ten titles and with each presentation the list of collaborating organizations, firms, volunteers, and businesses grows.
The purpose of the series of discussions is just that: to discuss. We hope to begin a healthy, enlightening, interesting conversation among the people of Pasadena. The idea is not to agree, but to share thoughts and opinions. In sharing, we all learn.
Usually in late summer, about 15 community readers begin coming together to suggest titles for the next spring's selection.
Criteria for selection include:
In March or April, the programs begin, with all sorts of cooperative sessions being offered. There are often book discussions throughout the community, in churches, stores, and libraries. Colleges and schools sponsor related events like panel discussions, art shows, concerts, or lectures. Everyone gets involved. In support, the Pasadena Public Library buys 200-300 copies of the book; usually the schools get another hundred or so, and Pasadena City College has many copies available for their students as well.
The Pasadena Public Library is very pleased to continue to present this strong community effort. We believe it creates a colorful and varied conversation, whether folks are talking about the book at the grocery store, at a soccer practice, before a church service, or over the back fence. And that's what it's all about: One City, One Story, many ideas.

it feels so sad to see the seleccao traveling to Poland/Ukraine with such a spirit!Since 2000, we didn't go to a tournament feeling that we're that down and nothing in hands to show...looks like an army heading to a war without its assets and guns...donno if I'm the only one who's feeling that bad!I'm really affraid of humiliation! And there is nothing on earth right now that makes me change my mind and prove me wrong but a positive result against the germans: a tie or a win!
I'll back up'em up and root for the seleccao till the last second, behind Bento and his men, and wish that the guys are gonna surprise us and win!
All the best Seleccao!Forca Portugal!!!!

About the Author
I'm a man of tomorrow still holding onto the joys of yesterday. I miss Nick cartoons, and Power Rangers but I cant get enough of the Time Lords, and Serial Killers we have now. My many distractions include computers, movies, comics, and I like to imagine my life story would be scored with a mixture of Death Cab, A3, and a lot of Kid Cudi. We've entered the Geekological Revolution. A time of Vulcan Death Grips, drinks with friends on Tatooine, and attempting to build a freeze ray. Things have changed, muscle headed bullies. The Nerds rule the world now, and we reign SUPREME!

Get your head in the game with the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Dolby 7.1 Headset for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3… See more
Av. User Rating
Released on 25-May-2012
Get Your Head in the Game
Utilizing Dolby's proprietary Surround 7.1 technology, TRITTON's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 7.1 Surround Headset replicates the immersive feeling of high-end home theater setups. Envelop yourself in a 3D sound field and gain the competitive edge by hearing each and every disturbance within the game's war-torn environment.
Ultra-bright white LEDs bring the plush earcups' official artwork to life and give the headset an unmistakable Ghost Recon appearance. Selectable Voice Monitoring provides the option to hear your own voice through the performance-balanced 40mm speakers, and the detachable, flexible performance microphone promotes clear transmissions over Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network. Also boasting a padded, adjustable headrail, the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 7.1 Surround Headset provides hours of gaming comfort, all while delivering the incredible sound quality you've come to expect from TRITTON headsets.
Distinct Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Complexion
Ultra-bright white LEDs illuminate through the earcups' transparent exterior to make the official artwork spring to life. The color-coordinated decoder box and braided cable round out the overall look and there'll be no doubt that you're a fan of the series with these cans on your head.
Immersive 3D Directional Audio Powered by Dolby Headphone Surround Sound
A simple button press initiates Dolby's built-in technology and provides 7.1-channel surround sound - - effectively enhancing your directional awareness and creating a detailed, spacious audio landscape which sounds as if it's beyond the limits of the headset.
Amplified 40mm Speakers with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium drivers are the highest quality available for use in commercial headsets. Each earcup houses a 40mm speaker which outputs high-fidelity game and chat audio for rich bass and crisp undistorted highs.
Hear Your own Voice with Selectable Voice Monitoring (SVM)
SVM allows you to choose whether or not you want to hear your voice through the Headset. When certain situations - - like those late-night gaming sessions - - dictate that you talk softly or loudly into the mic, easily activate/deactivate SVM with the push of a button and take control of all your conversations.
Separate Game and Voice Volume Controls
If the chatter from your online rivals gets distracting and starts to hinder your gameplay experience, just click a dial on the in-line audio controller to tune them out. Game volume can also be adjusted on-the-fly so you can drown out your foe's voice but still hear stealthy in-game footsteps creeping up behind you. And thanks to intuitive placement of the mute buttons for the microphone and game volume, you'll have no trouble locating them during heated skirmishes.
Selectable EQ Settings for Movies and Music
On hiatus from your tour of duty? Take a well-earned rest and catch a movie or kick back and listen to your favorite tunes. The equalizer settings on the Dolby Digital Decoder Box help maintain your media's original acoustic properties.
Includes Everything Needed to Connect to any Xbox 360 or PS3
Whether your console is legacy or current-gen and connected to a display via HDMI or component/VGA/composite, the headset is ready to go right out of the box. All required cables and adapters are included to ensure you can connect to any Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 within minutes.
Durable Performance Mic can be Removed when not in use
When not communicating over Xbox LIVE or the PlayStation Network and just listening to music or watching a film, a headset's microphone only gets in the way. Problem solved with the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 7.1 Surround Headset's removable solution - - it provides the freedom to use the mic only when necessary.
Ergonomically Designed for Extreme Comfort
When eliminating enemy forces for hours on end, headset comfort is a must. The Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 7.1 Surround Headset delivers with a padded, adjustable headrail - - which extends an extra 1.25 inches on either side to accommodate a wide range of head sizes - - and soft, pliable earcups which encapsulate your ears in an immersive sound field while keeping ambient sounds at bay. The earcups also swivel to provide a comfortable around-the-neck resting position.
Silent but deadly
What's better than pulling off the perfect headshot? Pulling off four perfect headshots at the same time, of course! That's just one of the cool manoeuvres waiting to thrill you in the latest game from Tom Clancy's high-tech military simulation factory, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
As the title suggests, in this long-awaited follow-up to 2007's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 you control a squad of covert black ops soldiers in the near future. Everything is familiar, yet subtly different. Most notably, you have active camouflage, just like the Predator. Drop into a stealthy crouch and you immediately activate your cloaking device, remaining mostly invisible to your prey provided you don't do anything silly like running around or squatting right in front of the enemy. From this almost-invisible state, you're now able to explore the battlefield, tagging targets and working out the best way to bump them all off without alerting the others. If you feel really lazy, or just don't want to risk being exposed, just send up a remote drone to do the spotting for you.
Drop 'em
It's here that the wonderful sync shot comes into play. As you mark targets, your other squad-mates will move into position for the best line of fire on each one. You can then order them all to open fire at the same time, either with a verbal command or by taking a shot of your own. It's cool, efficient and really makes you feel like a military badass, exactly what you want from a game like this.
Sniping is only part of the Ghost Recon experience though, and Future Soldier doesn't skimp when it comes to full-blooded action. There are lots of sections where you simply have to blast your way through, and the game switches seamlessly from methodical stealth to explosive third-person shooter. Ducking behind cover, you return fire, press the advantage and use the same target-marking system to direct the fire of your squad. Suppress, eliminate and move on. It's a familiar rhythm from games like Gears of War, but the presentation and polish of Future Soldier make the shootouts satisfyingly muscular even if the mechanisms are unoriginal.
It helps that the game constantly comes up with new scenarios, swapping the Mexican border setting of the previous games for a more ambitious globe-trotting anti-terrorist adventure. You'll see in action in South America, Africa, Russia, Pakistan, even the Arctic, and yet the story never overwhelms the action or feels so thin that you stop paying attention. From sandstorms to blizzards, city streets to remote woodland, the environment constantly impacts the way you play.
The "I" in Team
This is, thankfully, an experience you can share with your mates in lots of different ways. The story campaign is playable solo or through online co-op, and if you can try this, you should. While the AI of your squad-mates is superb, they're no replacement for a team of flesh and blood buddies and those four-way takedowns are even more thrilling when you've coordinated them with human partners.
If you prefer a more self-contained action experience then Guerrilla mode offers standalone arenas in which to fight alongside your friends. It's a survival game in which you first use stealth to take control of a location, and then hold it against waves of attackers trying to take it back. Although the game has recharging health it only takes a few bullets to put you down, so teamwork is absolutely vital here.
Or if you prefer more competitive online shooter action, Future Soldier accommodates you here as well, although you may need to re-educate yourself a little first. There's no deathmatch or flag-capturing. What you get are four game modes - Conflict, Saboteur, Decoy and Siege - that use large, open maps for seriously hardcore team-based challenges. Whether the game is asking you to plant bombs in the enemy HQ or split up to investigate multiple objectives, Future Soldier takes the familiar beats of online multiplayer gaming and gives them a refreshing tweak. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Siege, where one team tries to hold off the other in a ruthless standoff with permanent death. Yep, that's right. No respawns. Once you're out, you're out.
With series like Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft has shown that it knows how to bend multiplayer to suit the game rather than the other way around, and Future Soldier continues that trend in fine style. For open-minded players, it'll keep you glued for months.
The gift that keeps giving
There's lots going on in the margins as well. Both campaign and multiplayer games have secondary ambient challenges, and completion unlocks bonus XP or new weapons and gadgets. You can even send challenges to your friends, daring them to beat a good online performance for kudos and achievements. There's even crossover with the Ghost Recon Commander game on Facebook, as well as the usual Ubisoft Uplay bonus goodies.
This all feeds back into the online progression, which lets you develop six characters across three character classes - rifleman, engineer, scout - and two factions. The game boasts that there are millions of ways to customise your arsenal, and you can even use Kinect to dismantle each gun and swap parts around. There's a compelling forward thrust to all the elements of the Future Soldier package, and they all feel like they're pulling in the same direction.
Mission Accomplished
Future Soldier is the sort of solid, satisfying and meaty action game you'd hope for. It takes various different elements - sneaky stealth, flat-out action and strategic teamwork - and mixes them together in a way that brings out the best in all of them. The story may give you flashbacks to Modern Warfare, but Ghost Recon puts its own spin on the usual military clichés. If you've been hungry for a new shooter, look no further.
Our Verdict:
What's Good?
- Excellent stealthy squad play
- Superb multiplayer options
- Explosive action and destructible scenery
What's Bad?
- Story is a bit too derivative
- Getting in and out of cover can be fussy
- Stealth sections require some trial and error
- Excellent stealthy squad play
Thinking of picking up Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, the latest entry in Tom Clancy's forward-looking tactical action series? Sounds like that might be a good idea, as review scores for the long awaited follow-up to 2007's Advanced Warfighter 2 are generally hovering around the "must buy" marker of 80% or higher.
"A true stealth game", reckons the US Official Xbox Magazine's 9/10 review, calling the title "a breath of fresh air in the increasingly loud third-person-shooter genre." And it sounds like the game should appeal both to old fans as well as newcomers. "The game shines not only for staying true to Ghost Recon� roots, but also for doing so while successfully balancing the memories of old fans with the modern expectations of new ones."
Even the notoriously hard to impress Edge magazine has ventured into the upper regions of the scoring system for this one, handing out a rare 8/10. "In the overmasculine world of the third person shooter, this is a game that stands out for being delicately beautiful even as it delivers brutal thrills," says the critical heavyweight.
Other high scores include solid eights from the likes of Eurogamer, GamesRadar, Official Xbox Magazine UK and Games(tm).
With a good six months to go before the onslaught of late season first-person shooters arrives, it seems like Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the obvious pick of the week for anyone who likes their gaming with a military twist.
