If there's anything that can be said about the Assassin's Creed games, it's that each iteration is consistently better than the last; Revelations continues that trend by taking everything you loved about Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and expanding upon it. As much as it saddens me to think that this is the last game with Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad in it, it is also quite a joy to see how their stories play out, and how they effect everything else. While I'm really anxious to see where the series goes from here, this is a perfect swan song to send those characters off into the ether.
One thing that really surprised me about this game, was just how open it was. In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, you were artificially limited from going everywhere at the beginning – you had to wait until the story allowed you to get to a particular area. Now In Revelations, it is in the third sequence where you're giving free roam abilities, and boy do they mean free. In short, I was 33% done with sequence three (about an hour in for "normal" people), and I had synchronized every viewpoint (except one – the only place locked off to you), bought every business and monument, recruited every assassin (and got them all to master status), and pretty much did everything a normal person would have waited on – curse my OCD.
Taking the time to do all of that will give you some of the game's best weapons and armor, and really makes things easier in the long run. In effect, Assassin's Creed Revelations allows the player to set their own level of difficulty. As I mentioned, recruiting assassins is also back, as are the missions that you can send them on – however everything there is extremely expanded upon. Now not only can you send your assassin on random missions in various cities, but you can also lower down the Templar's control on said cities, and take them over yourself. Doing this gives you extra money every twenty minutes, and a steady supply of bomb creating ingredients.
Oh, what did I just say? Bomb creating?
That's right – in Revelations, Ezio can craft over 300 varieties of bombs to distract, incapacitate, or just outright kill your enemies. Basically you can think of Ezio as the Batman of the Renissance – if Batman went around and just randomly murdered dudes. Whether it be a caltrops bomb that explodes on impact, or a sticky bomb that blows up guards, or a tripwire bomb that spews gold coins to attract a crowd, you'll have an absolute blast figuring out what works best in what situation.
Back to the recruiting of assassins, like before you need to control dens in order to gain more followers, and just like in Brotherhood you need to kill the den commander and light a fire to claim it as yours. The big difference there now is that the more you do (buying property, killing Templars, etc), the more notoriety you gain. Gain enough, and the Templars will randomly attack one of your dens. When you go to it, you're taken to a mini game that reminds me a LOT of a tower defense game – you send leaders on roofs, and then send other assassins in front of them to attack. In order to facilitate this, you need to get morale points to spend (gotten from killing the attackers). You have a number of different units at your disposal, and even barricades that you can build – however once you do it a few times chances are you'll grow to hate this game.
Luckily, you can bribe heralds, or kill certain Templars to lower your notoriety – or better yet you can level an assassin to 15 and do a special mission for them, and then they will protect your dens for you. It's definitely a reason to get them leveled up as quick as possible! Something else different about Revelations, is you don't just have to worry about Byzantine Templars, you also now have the Ottomans on your ass. The only saving grace is that they both hate each other as well, so if you can lure one group to another you can start a rumble and then just sneak on by. Just try not to get caught in the middle, because when one group wins they will inevitably turn on your if you're still in sight.
Yes Byzantines and Ottomans – Revelations takes place in the city of Istanbul (not Constantinople) during the time of 1511 A.D. History buffs will know that this is around the rise of the Ottoman empire, and Ezio meets a lot of historical figures from this time (Prince Suleiman, and Manuel Palaiologos to name two). The look of the area is a lot different to the Rome that was presented in Brotherhood – from the sun baked sandstone, to the giant bazaar atmosphere – and boy does it look good. Not only has the gameplay mechanics improved from the previous game, but all of the graphics look a lot better – which is a feat considering how good Brotherhood really looked.
In the way of gameplay mechanics other than the bombs I spoke of earlier, Ezio gains a new weapon called the "hookblade". Basically a blade with a hook on the end (hence the name – genius, right?), it allows you to extend your reach when jumping (or falling), and adds some new flair to the combat combos you can perform. The hook roll is especially impressive, and works great when you're running from people. Counter kills and counter grabs are also a breeze to pull off, and you'll find yourself doing them in combos when you want to end combat quickly.
I didn't get much multiplayer time in before writing this (because I was more interested in the narrative), however I did get to play some. Most of it is exactly what you played in Brotherhood, however there is a new mode called Deathmatch. In deathmatch, there's no longer a compass to tell you where your target is, but rather a small box in the top right shows you who your target is, and it glows blue when you're in the line of sight of them. It's a lot more difficult, because some of the maps are quite large, and it really feels like looking for a needle in a haystack (with other needles trying to jab you in the ass). All in all though, the whole experience is just as fun as it was last time around, and it still feels like one big Turin Test. One thing that was improved beyond a shadow of a doubt is the connectivity. In Brotherhood I has issues out the wazoo with connecting to people, and even though there were only reviewers playing pre-launch, I never had any problems finding a match.
The last thing I feel compelled to mention, is how Ubisoft seems to be on board with the Playstation 3 on this title. Not only did PS3 users get to enjoy the Beta for the multiplayer, but they also get the entire first Assassin's Creed game for free on their Blu-Ray disc. I know lots of developers are going the console specific bonus route, but it's nice to see something that big as one. Granted it's a couple years old, but playing that made me remember where this series had its roots at (as I hadn't even picked it up since beating it right after it originally came out). I don't want to get into a 360 vs. PS3 debate here, just letting you know that one has a definite advantage with this specific game.
Editor's Rating:
The Bottom Line: This game epitomizes the way I want every one of my favorite franchises to be done with characters – everything shows a level of polish and detail that screams out to how much they care about Assassin's Creed.
- The game looks gorgeous – artistically, there is nothing that I would change one bit
- The voice acting is spot on like always
- Desmond's sections, while odd, are a welcome and refreshing break
- The den defense mini-game loses its fun very quickly
- Trying to remember which enemies were weak against which bombs made my head hurt
- Ezio and Altair are gone after this
You can get Assassin's Creed Revelations from Amazon for $59.96

- Wonderful ExperienceRecEaterVIPDined on 9/26/2014Enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The ambiance, the service, the food. The wait staff was well informed, friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional. I had the bone in filet and my wife had the sea bass. Both dishes cooked to perfection. The butter cake topped off the night. A perfect evening.Special Features:
- Fantastic dinnerfinediner99Dined on 9/24/2014Took family here and had filet, salmon, and NY strip. They were all fantastic and delicious. Ambience was wonderful, service great.Special Features:
- Excellentmaxa218Dined on 9/23/2014What a great evening. As always, the food and service was and is the best we have ever had in any restaurant. They always go the extra step to make sure your evening is special. It was my birthday and they sent the most wonderful dessert to me. Keep up the good work!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timegasmanDined on 9/22/2014Overall a great place. My steak was over done. I should have sent it bsck.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OKUnsureDined on 9/20/2014Not sure I would write a review at this point~ close second to Oceans or Mastro, but not quite hitting the spot!
- recent trip to DominicsSamTDined on 9/20/2014we recently went to Dominic s and ordered the same food we have in the past and were disappointed in the quality and the taste of the steaks. My rib eye was prepared medium rare as requested but there was no char on the outside and the steak was favorless and dry. Apparently there had been some red butter melted on the top but even with that the steak was not worth the price- the buttercake was also dryand the flavor seemed offSpecial Features:
- OUTSTANDINGOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/19/2014This was by far an amazing restaurant. Been to so many good restaurants here in Arizona, but this my my favorite. Service was outstsnding, food delicious, and ambiance was great.Special Features:
- Dominicks Dominates!JimSushiDined on 9/13/2014Our experience at Dominicks was incredible. It's a spot we'd discussed visiting a number of times but for a variety of reasons we hadn't made it until Saturday evening. What a fabulous dining experience, The food quality was only surpassed by the professionalism and attentiveness of the service staff. I am a frequent diner and club member at a number of high end restaurants and the Dominicks experience as better than many/most. I will gladly return there and be proud to take clients there in the future as well. All the best, Jim AhernSpecial Features:
- BbassDined on 9/12/2014Based on all of the yelp reviews I was very excited to take my husband here for his 40th Birthday last Friday night. We had Oysters on the half shell as our appetizer. They were very fresh and we enjoyed them. For our meal my husband had the bone in rib eye and I the lobster with Crab added atop. Our sides were the creamed corn and Dominick's potatoes. The atmosphere was awesome and we got to peek upstairs at the pool side dining. I was excited that they brought my husband their signature butter cake for dessert. It was very good!!! The food was good and we were pleased with the attentive service we received. But I am not sure we would call it the best steak & seafood we ever had.Special Features:
- Outstanding EveningWannaBeChefDined on 9/8/2014Dominick's is very pricy, but well worth the experience. Atmosphere is elegant, romantic and comfortably quiet. Hard to find restaurants like this anymore for fine dining. Side portions are large enough to share, but they also offer them in half portions which are perfect for two and allows you to sample several different sides. Not every waiter advises you of this feature, so ask. Service is impeccable and well paced. Steaks are well seasoned and served on a sizzling plate prepared to perfection. The seafood dishes are also amazing. I understand they have a great Happy Hour that we will have to try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just AwesomeSteakhouse01Dined on 9/6/2014Awesome, as always... Ambiance, food, and service top notch.Special Features:
- Worst steak everSvk09Dined on 9/5/2014I was very disappointed, I was in the mood for a good steak and I would have been better off cooking my own steak at home and saving the $50 they charge for a filet. The steak had no flavor, was hard to cut and very chewy. I ordered it cooked medium and it came out charred. I should have sent it back but the waitress didn't come by very often and my husband and I were on date night with our newborn so there was no time to waist. We also ordered the halibut which was a nice portion but had an overwhelming lemon flavor. The only part of the meal I enjoyed was the Brussels sprouts and the wine. They also have free valet which I was excited about until they lost our car, my husband found it with keys in it. It could have easily been stolen!Special Features:
- OutstandingBuffettJamesVIPDined on 8/31/2014Outstanding experience. Food, Service and Ambiance- couldn't ask for more.Special Features:
- AwesomePleasedVIPDined on 8/31/2014As usual, great food and service. We have been extremely pleased each time we have dined at Dominick's. This visit was no different. Excellent!Special Features:
- True example of Fine DiningProfDined on 8/29/2014Very pleased overall with food, atmosphere, and professionalism of staff.Special Features:
- Felt like royaltysubshadowDined on 8/29/2014I have never felt so "upscale" before eating here. The service was top notch, the food was amazing, and we left paying a good amount of money but felt no remorse for doing so. It was worth every penny. They even called the day after just to make sure we had a great experience and if there was anything they could do to make my next visit better which was already perfect to begin with. I will be going back here for ever special occasion I can find.Special Features:
- Anniversary - Dinner w/FriendsWhipdogDined on 8/23/2014When only the best will do for certain occasions we know Dominick's will not disappoint. Sitting up stairs pool side, especially when the roof is open, is 1 O.A.K.! Amazing service, menu and atmosphere.Special Features:
- Good Food -- Not a Night ClubMaPTDined on 8/23/2014Celebrated a friend's birthday at Dominick's. Apparently the Hostess did not read the reservation request for a table instead of a combo booth/chair table. Upon arrival, Hostess tried to seat us at a combination table. Our requested table with chairs was in a perfect location. This is only a dining restaurant - no dance floor, no live music. The overhead music was an annoying competition with everyone's table conversation. The manager did turn it down. Dining music should be "background" music instead of the center of attention...very distracting. On a different note, be careful of the 500 F plates! Cover your chest with your napkin so the sizzling meat juices (fat) don't fly onto your clothes or your skin.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomePleasedVIPDined on 8/23/2014We love Dominick's! Great food and service! Great selection of meat and fish. The bartenders also do a great job! Our favorite steakhouse in Scottsdale!Special Features:
- Taking a steak night to the topScottieDined on 8/22/2014Overall, a superb dining experience. I had heard about the 2nd floor dining room with the elegant pool and sky light. Sadly the 2nd floor was closed on our Friday night dinner. Really? We went upstairs to see it, and surely had wished that level had been opened. The downstairs was fine, and surprisingly quiet compared to other open fine dining steak restaurants. Service was very good. Overall, a nice and updated change to some of the valley's high-end chain steakhouses.Special Features:
- katekateVIPDined on 8/15/2014My husband and I have eaten at many of the Scottsdale area steak houses, and continue to feel that Dominick's is at the very top of the list. It is an attractive restaurant, the staff is superb and the steaks just sparkle brighter than rest. It is a perfectly run restaurant that does not have the pretentious attitude found in many of the other upscale steak restaurants. Love it!Special Features:
- Wedding Anniversarry7atootDined on 8/5/2014This was not our first time and will not be the last. My dish was perfect, while my wife dish was burned and was returned. Everything else was outstanding andSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!PleasedVIPDined on 8/2/2014We loved it and we will be back! Food and service were outstanding!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Effort made but not accomplished!MACSRDined on 8/1/2014My perception is that Dominick's is trying earnestly to establish itself as a traditional quality steakhouse one might find in New York or Chicago in a by-gone era. Unfortunately it doesn't achieve that goal. All the superficial items are in place, but there is something authentic missing and it falls short of the mark. The service staff from the hostess to the waiters are overly youthful for this environment, inexperienced and way too enthusiastic for such a restaurant. Disingenuous comes to mind. I ordered an expensive single malt scotch and my twenty something waiter stated "that's my favorite" Come on!! The food was excellent and pricey, but I don't mind that. It was the experience; it lacked depth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crab Claw cocktail was greatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/26/2014First time dining at Dominick's. The food rivals any high end steakhouse in the valley. I usually order a shrimp cocktail, but they offered a crab claw cocktail and so I tried it. The way it was plated made it look as though there was only going to be a little bit of crab - but no, it had more crab meat than I expected. This is definitely a good choice if you like crab. The only complaint is the two seater tables along the half wall that separates the dining room and the bar. That's where I was seated, and management needs to reevaluate whether they give patrons enough space. My seat rubbed against the man who was seated in the table behind me because there wasn't enough space.Special Features:
- PacovDined on 7/26/2014Incredible attention to detail. Fabulous food and service. We will definitly be back and recommend to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014Very nice place and very well trained staff. Prices are acceptable and selection was good. Easy in and out from streets. Great find We will go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Service, Awesome Steak!!HawaiiantimeVIPDined on 7/17/2014The Service was outstanding!! One of the top 5 Filet's I've had in the Valley!Special Features:
- DisappointedSOHOLadyDined on 7/16/2014Remodel of bar has resulted in loss of charm. You no longer get that up scale - cozy, romantic feel. So we sat in dining area for dinner, but the lights were not turned down until we requested...maybe 8:00 P M...felt like spot lights were on us until then. I ordered the special surf and turf. Turf was great but surf had swam south. I love Dominick's. Hope they return their dining experience back to Maestro's high standards.
- Best Restaurant in AZMinnesotaMVPDined on 7/11/2014Amazing Steaks and all the sides and apps are just as good as the steaks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceDebeDined on 7/11/2014This was our first dining experience at Dominick's and we weren't disappointed. Very attentive, knowledgeable staff and great service. The food was cooked to perfection and topped with the wonderful Buttercake desert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best SteakhouseScottVIPDined on 7/10/2014Dominick's has incredible food and service. They are generous with their drink pours as well. I've been here several times and they are always outstanding. The only drawback is that they are very expensive compared with other high-end steakhouses. They recently changed their menu and prices, especially for sides, seem to have risen. You don't need much here though, because the food is incredibly rich!Special Features:
- shermanDined on 7/7/2014the food was very good. as can be expected for a top-end steak house it is very expensive. i found the wine prices ok - but Titos and soda for $15 is a bit over the top. Titos isn't price like grey goose or kettel oneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014Superb food, unbelievably great service. I frequent most of the steak houses in Scottsdale and I believe you are number one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fave place to celebrate!kcgirlDined on 7/3/2014We went back to Dominick's to celebrate my new job and loved EVERY second of it. I ventured off of my normal Steak and Lobster routine and went for the Salmon Oscar...to DIE for!!!! The guys enjoyed the Steak and Lobster and we all agreed it's the best meal we've had in the valley. Our server was such a great guy and we felt really special...Even a follow-up phone call a couple days later to make sure our experience was great...you just don't get this kind of customer service mixed with fantastic food these days. GO THERE NOW!Special Features:
- A Little DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/3/2014The restaurant is beautiful, and the service was good - but very cold. I believe that you can be professional and efficient without being cold or snobby. I just did not feel comfortable here. The steak that was ordered medium-rare was delicious, but the steak ordered well done was very tough and dry. I know well done is hard, but A LOT of restaurants can get a steak well done that still has moisture and flavor. No one at the table cared for the macaroni and cheese - it had a weird flavor. The mashed potatoes and cream corn were excellent. The crème brulee and butter cake were out of this world. I might go back and try it again - but there are so many other steak houses where I feel welcome and "warm and fuzzy" :)Special Features:
- Special BirthdayAnonymousDined on 7/3/2014Our server was absolutely wonderful and the food was top notch. My fiancé had the bone-in filet which melted in your mouth and I had the veal porterhouse, on recommendation of our server, and it was absolutely delicious. To top of our perfect night, we were treated to a warm buttercake! This was our first time and most certainly won't be our last!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I enrolled for dog photography course that was sheduled for June this year, paying the whole amount in advance. It was canceled by Martin , but until now [it's almost September!] I haven't got back my money as I was promised. There's lack of contact from him. Not responding for any of my e-mails. Maybe he's making outstanding photos, but he's just a swindler.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Town of Cary Police Department at (919) 469-4012 or Cary Crime Stoppers at (919) 226-2746 Crime Stoppers pays up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest or indictment of those responsible for committing certain types of crimes.

He walked into the Super Target in Clearwater a minute before closing. He wore a hoodie and clutched skateboard.
"He knows what he's doing and he has a couple of minutes to get everything accomplished," said Rob Shaw of the Clearwater Police Department.
And he did. It took less than three minutes to skate away with a 32-inch TV.
This is a first for detectives.
"They're used to cars, bicycles, people running from the scene of a crime. You don't usually see somebody zipping away on a skateboard and making their exit that way," said Shaw.
On his way out, cameras catch him skating toward the exit, but it's locked. An employee tried stopping him, but the crook pulled a knife then ran out another door.
"He gets bonus points for being creative, but he stole a TV and put people's lives at risk with a knife and we're going to get him," said Shaw.
Shoppers at target like Chris Viaud are appalled.
"What is his plan when he gets out, he's just going to skateboard away with it?" he said.
His son can't believe the video.
"That is crazy, running with a TV on a skateboard, don't think that anyone would do that," said Chas Viaud.
Skaters at Tampa's Bro Bowl share the sentiment.
"He is actually skating around the store?" said Kevin Zimmock
Zimmock said that is not a first-time skater.
"An amateur wouldn't be able to skateboard with a TV in his hand and get away from people, so he could control the board and make a run for it," he said.
He hopes others skaters aren't blacklisted because of this crook.
"I would hope that they don't stereotype skateboarders over doing such things," he added.
No one was injured during the robbery.
Police say they are looking for a man in his 20's wearing green Nike shoes, with a hoodie and a black backpack. He used a brown skateboard with orange-yellowish wheels.
If you know who this person is, call the Clearwater Police Department.

Carly Grenfel only hit one shot, but it turned out to be a game winner as Drake rallied past the UNI women 66-64.
Grenfel knocked down a 3 with 10 seconds remaining to give the Bulldogs the 2 point advantage.
UNI had appeared to seal the deal when Jen Keitel scored and drew a foul with 44 seconds left. After missing the ensuing free throw, the Panthers led 64-60. Drake's Kyndal Clark hit a 3 with 26 seconds remaining, while UNI missed the front end of a 1 and 1 on their next possession which set up Grenfel's game winning shot.
Keitel and Brooke Brown led the Panther scoring effort with 14 points apiece. Lizzy Wendell had a game high 23 for Drake.

Review: Generic DS brawler (guest starring the Thundercats)
It's not a good sign when I'm struggling with things to say about a game in a review, and that's the problem I'm facing with Thundercats on the Nintendo DS. When I played it at the Namco Bandai Global Gamers Day back in April, I spent about 10 minutes with the game. My initial impression was that it was a decent beat 'em up-style platformer. Now that I've played the... Read More

One of our writers decided last week to take a break from writing about politics. He said he's sick of the whole damn mess.
Easy to understand why. The state of the nation, governed by the state of the sick political system that controls it, is enough to make anyone throw up their hands and cry uncle.
Politics, at its best, is a dirty, rotten business and our political system today is far from its best. As voters, we become accustomed to disappointment, disillusionment and disenfranchisement. We expect to be disappointed and, even then, are disappointed when our expectations are met.
In 2008, many voters turned to Barack Obama as a bright hope for the future, a smooth-talking candidate who promised a break from the business as usual, money-talks, lobbyists rule form of government that dominated Washington.
He talked real good and rolled into office on a wave of hope and high expectations but the wave crashed into the rocks of political reality and the high expectations have vanished into a fog of broken promises, crushed hopes and unmet goals.
In reality, voters pinned their hopes to an inexperienced, one-term Senator from one of the most corrupt political organizations in the nation: The Chicago Democratic machine. In reality, the hope was just hype.
Now voters seek salvation in fringe movements like the Tea Party, another phony political movement that fronts for big money, hidden agendas and political consultants looking to make a buck.
If some of the Tea Party's anointed candidates make it to office, things won't change. As soon as they raise their right hand and swear to uphold the Constitution the promises of campaign 2010 will fade away and the special interests that control them will issue new marching orders.
It's time to realize that the system itself is broken and that it cannot be repaired by simply feeding new cannon fodder into the grinding gears of politics.
The political system that controls our government cannot be changed as long as the decisions that drive that system are made by those who benefit most from it.
What's the answer? Hell, I don't know. I worked inside the political system for a decade and don't have the answer. I went in an idealist who thought change was possible and emerged a drunk who did it for the money.
Politics is a powerful narcotic far more addictive than cocaine or heroin.
It controls those who fall under its spell.
Even worse, it controls this nation and its future.
And that should scare everyone.

Thanks Doug for your timely thoughts concerning "burnout". That's precisely my problem. I've become reticent to comment on anything in these seeming end times for the Republic.
It seems the center cannot hold and our nation is unraveling before our eyes with all dialogue having simply degenerated into white noise insanity.
I've become simply a reader of your site content, but I no longer have fire in the belly commentary concerning the order of the day. : |
Best regards always,
Carl Nemo **==
Thank God The 'Greatest Generation' didn't have all the modern communication networks that we now have. We'd be speaking German.
Many of our problems are bestowed on ourselves by the constant need for "News" on a 24/7 cycle. Whoever shouts the loudest wins has proven to be wrong so many times. Yet as soon as one crisis or &%^$*&^gate of one type or another ends another one is invented. The news no longer informs, it creates and pushes whatever agenda the media moguls desire. We have all been manipulated. The common good is a distant memory or pipe dream. Every problem must be solved immediately without any inconvenience to ourselves. We have become a society besotted with instant gratification and Lake Wobegon expectations.
A large part of the problem is that what masquerades as politics in the modern vernacular is nothing more pissin and moanin about how the other side done us wrong. And that attitude is real bad here. Heck, Doug, is wasn't long ago you wrote about it (A nation dominated by lies, anger & trivial pursuit). In fact, looking thru the archives for that title the number of similar articles was extremely thought provoking, and the comments to those pieces were disheartening for their lack of substance.
Why is that the case? Why are there no reasoned discussions, just flame throwing? Are there so few genuine ideas that all that's left is anger and hate?
Get used it it, folks
Would you believe the new crop of 2012 Presidential "wannabees" are ALREADY poking about up in New Hampshire looking for support? I suspect various "exploratory" committees will be cropping up next.
Sadly, our politicians are now locked in a perpetual "campaign" and "fund raising" mode, all of which leaves them little time for actually governing our nation.
I'm not running for office this election cycle for the first time in many years. It's not that I'm sick of politics. Rather, I've entered a period of disillusion; serious doubt that electoral politics can be the solution. Politicians make fine targets for our frustration, but they are but the puppets. It doesn't matter how often the cast of puppets changes or what their colors are as long as the same puppeteers are pulling the strings. It's the puppeteers that need replacement but they are throughly beyond electoral control.
I'm looking to move out in the country, arm myself to the gills, and hunker down for the next decade or so while the nation implodes on itself. Found two nice ranch homes I'll be looking at on Wednesday. I'm planning on being moved before September.
I'm tired of trying to convince people of what is even going on, how we've gone from freedom to fascism. It's time to watch out for our own, and to hell with all the vapidly depraved, morally bankrupt fools. They could only save themselves. But they would rather play Xbox, watch television and take drugs then better themselves and deal with reality. Most don't even want to know, or will violently deny the truth when confronted with it.
It was over back in 2000 anyway. Just figured more might stand a chance if they were aware. They don't want to be aware, so might as well allow them to be collateral damage and save ourselves if we can. Now it only means less competition for what's left after the fall. I hate being so cold, but I can't fight the fools anymore.
Come ride with me,
Through the veins of history,
I'll show you a god
Who falls asleep on the job.
And how can we win,
When fools can be kings,
Don't waste your time,
Or time will waste you
No one's gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive
Muse, Knights of Cydonia off the album Black Holes and Revelations
Great band, woody. Of course, my favorite would have to be 'Uprising,' followed closely by 'United States of Eurasia.'
I wish you well Woody188 with your wise decision to extricate yourself from the madding crowd. The most important thing in your life and that of your family is simple survival in these end times for the Republic. Don't forget to check/taste the water of any homestead purchase. The quality of the water can make a big difference in how you look forward to the day.
Tyranny has no special place or time in history. As long as there are bullies in high places hell bent on trampling the rights of others, then solid resistance and revolution is in order to protect one's natural inalienable rights from the usurpers. : |

Shit, where's every one going? I'm just getting warmed up! Ha.
My country is in trouble.
I turn my back on my country.
I do not give a rat's ass about my fellow Americans.
I think only of myself.
I am a good citizen.
Looks like that July, 2001 deadline for Afghan troop withdrawal was just another in a long line of lies. It escapes me right now, but who called that?
Tried to help you GhL, but you prefer to stay ignorant. That's not thinking of myself, that's giving up on you ever changing.
In the spirit of giving up "ignorance," I wonder if we can start a dialogue about political positions on issues. Just what do Dems – especially leftist dems – want from politics these days? (We'll get to other "fringe" groups later.)
While the average voter remains a dumb ass, there is a growing percentage of them that are ready to accept the fhe fact that our country and our government is a lie. Whether there will ever be enough of them to do anything about it or what they will do will be the next chapter in American History. Change can be a very slow process.
The key to the whole thing seems tobe to educate the average dumb ass voter. But… Now that I think about it… That would require brain transplants. So… Maybe instead… If you get out on your soapbox with your anti-establishment message, a large percentage of those dumb ass little lemmings will blindly follow you anywhere.
That's just it, they won't follow just anyone. They will attack you violently because their minds won't let them accept the truth. There's maybe 10% of us out there that acknowledge that we have already lost our republic. Everyone else is watching Dancing with the Stars.
And how many of us acknowledge that the system is broken, that voting is rigged, and that special interests and corporations control the government and media, but still we vote and complain and act like we can do anything about it?
Do we all suffer from doublethink?
You mean 10% of the population know whats going on. Damn, I would say that is one hell of a victory. I can remember when only three people knew what was going on, and I've only been fighting this crap since 1963. If we ever won, the CIC would get a bullet through the brain. All you can do is joke about this crap. Serious discussion gets way too depressing. Remember the Alamo.
In my discussions with people both online and off, there is roughly 10% that are aware. They say roughly 12% got the first revolution here started.
There are different degrees of awareness, and there are differences of opinion in the causes and the powers behind the scenes, and even what it is we have actually become as a nation. Most of that 10% agree we are a fascist plutocracy, but others see us as communist, socialist, or something else in between. But all agree we are no longer free, and we can't claim free market capitalism as the basis of our economy. We know what we aren't, we just don't know yet what exactly we've become.
1963, wow. I've only been awake since 2000. Had some doubts in the 90's but I was just a kid and taught to believe otherwise. I had to dump most of the nationalist pride and blind faith that was beaten into me since birth to come around and see the truth. Most folks aren't willing or capable of doing that without some major event that lays the lies bare for all to see. And even then some 30% will deny the truth even after seeing incontrovertible evidence of it with their own eyes. Apparently it is the inherent nature of man to do so and has been written about by many others referred to as cognitive dissonance or doublethink for the Orwell fans.
Thrown in the false dichotomy, Hegelian dialectic, and add wishful thinking and ignorance and we as a nation are ripe for control and being lead down the path of tyranny. Heck, we are already at tyranny. Now is the time when we'll see among us are free men and who are the cowering slaves.
Smart folks may note Guardhouse Lawyer's comments prove all this. His is an example of Hegelian dialectic and false dichotomy.
My country is in trouble.
I turn my back on my country.
I do not give a rat's ass about my fellow Americans.
I think only of myself.
I am a good citizen.
That's why so many of us get frustrated with GhL. In his eyes the State is the ultimate freedom so everyone must serve the State. It is infallible and must be defended and protected at all costs. Others here are more libertarian and feel the individual or family is the ultimate freedom.
One might note how he's twisted giving up trying to help others that don't want to be helped as selfishness and turning our back on our State that calls us terrorists and is training the military to fight us. We can't save them. They must learn to save themselves. But it is an impossible task as the deck is stacked against us and people just won't learn.
We can't give them freedom, they have to want it and be willing to fight and die for it. That's is also why we fail in Iraq and Afghanistan. Freedom isn't spread by the barrel of a gun. Freedom is in the hearts and minds of the people. If they don't want it, it isn't possible to give it to them. They have to reach out and take it for themselves.
Perhaps that is why we flounder today at home as well. Who is willing to reach out and take back their freedom? I'm running away, like it won't end up on my doorstep some time in the future. But can I risk my life and my family to take back what God gave me?
Oh Doug you promised this new Messiah was the real deal. Banned me because I didn't "tow your line". I was for Hillary. How about your boy's Obama Whistleblower Policy? How about Gen. McCrystal saying the only "thumbs Up" was Hillary.
How do you feel about it now Doug? And the rest of you people I tried to warn.
I know you won't post this, and censore this like your Obama does. You are as corrupt as the government is. I'm not posting your "atta-boy" opinion, and it will never come up. Your just another propaganda mouth piece.
I felt the chill for being a Hillary supporter now. Would defintely vote for her again in a primary. As for the general election, I probably won't bother.
What's the point?
Woody. Dont look at the scoreboard, just keep playing the game. Stay true to yourself and your beliefs. Ye who fights and runs away lives to fight anouther day. Don't ever expect the fight to be over. There will always be dumb bastards to trample your rights if you let them.
We're not sick of politics as much as we're sick of the dirtbags that control OUR politics. And now that we cons[piracy-theorists, anti -Semites or whatever you want to call us are looking like prescient sages while you idiots standing there with your heads up your rears try blithely to defend your stupidity, this is one conspiracy-theorist who is NOT too stupid to know who's trying to kill me. And yeah, Obama is one of 'em. Son of a Muslim father and a Jewish mother. And the son of a female dog, too.
Son of a female dog?
Were you born this way or did your parents do something to make you turn out so badly?
Hillary?? Give me a break. If you think that reptile would be any better than the reptiles we currently have, you're just the kind of moron who stands to be a great median pundit. The architect-ress of the Honduras coup, zionist warrior princess, neo-liberal con artist, bankster welfare queen and MIC warmonger cheerleader, I can't see how it could get any scummier than Madame H.
Well, calling people moron certainly goes a long way towards being scummier than Hillary Clinton.
I thought Doug was going to crack down on this sort of stuff.
You and GHL could make your points without the invective and ad hominem attacks. Shrug…
Please tell me where I used invective and ad hominem attacks. One cannot ask questions around here?
"Well, calling people moron certainly goes a long way towards being scummier than Hillary Clinton."
Ask all the questions you like.
Hmmmm, from reading the post not to many seem to be sick of politics.
Ever get a flat tire and go balistically mad? Ever occur to you that you might just be addicted to the air in the tire?
Ever look at the title of a politically charged column or rant thread title…and just say nope, not gonna look at it, not gonna read it – but then your fingers can't help themselves from clicking that link bar?
If you are posting a comment in this column you might be a political addict.
No matter how sick and tired addicts get – they just keep going back for more.
Until rock bottom, that is.

Yeah, there is a whole bunch of dumb f**ks. The problem is it is so much easier to live in a dream that it is to face reality. The only way to get anything done is to poll the voter base to find out what the majority are in favor of and tell them what they want to hear. After your elected, you can carry out your own agenda.
My comments were made before I viewed the link. I thought you were just posing a question. That brings up anouther strategy to use when you are outnumbered, gorilla warfare. Remain anonymous, hit run, hit run, and hit again.
Well my point was that she received many phone calls in opposition to this yet she supported it any way. Another Marie Antoinette moment for the Hill People.
Send 'em packing – each and every one of 'em.
That shoul d have been guerilla, not gorilla but you might be able to train apes to do this crap.
And, I made that comment after viewing the first video that popped up. I had to view afew others before I understood what was going on.
That's what happens when you're spring-loaded in the f**k 'em all position. Why not try studied reason for a change?
Politics doesn't necessarily have to be about a bunch of two faced. back stabbing, dirtbags. It could be about the American Spirit. The things that unite us define us and make us who we are. It could be about riding Harleys, bluegrass music or rock n' roll. If it gets too serious, it is no longer fun. CHB used to read more like a bar room conversation than a political rag, I miss the gossip about what was going on inside the White House. Please make if fun again. Go get em Gonzo.
Wow! I'm gone a few days, return, and the "Sick of Politics" posts are growing by leaps and bounds.
Doug's comment about how addicting politics are…must be something to it.
I'm not really sick of politics, I'm sick of the lack of politics. Somebody buying somebody off and no one doing anything about it is not politics. It all boils down to a CEO paid somebody to pay somebody to buy somebody and the asshole is totally blameless, so do your country a favor and punch out a,CEO. The main principle this country was founded upon was I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. So go beat the shit out of a CEO and we can get back to arguing like we are supossed to.
On a historical note,and for general interest, I am posting the following link giving some insight on how the Revolutionary War was fought. It is the rules of Roger's Rangers an outfit put together by George Rogers Clark, the brother of William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame. The way I hear it they owned a good portiion of the country and sold it all to finance the revolution.
I sort of got my history screwed up on that one, the rules are those of Robert Rogers but I;ve seen similar ones used by Clark.
Well, except for the fact that Rogers' Rangers were active during the French and Indian War, and except for the fact that they were an independent group of recon/special forces type troops, and except for the fact that this was not the way the Revolutionary War was fought……
Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, TCM. Rogers Rangers.
Give it a look for a true example of grit, resolve, and mission focus.
I posted that to make a point and I not sure what point I was trying to make. Maybe it was that with an organized plan anything is possible. After all we didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. I think I"ll go watch Animal House for inspiration;
Toga! Toga!

More on FMD
Using the North American Animal Disease Spread Model (NAADM), Midwest researchers say vaccination for Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) would have to be done rapidly to curtail the disease.
The researchers from veterinary schools in Illinois, Kansas and Minnesota simulated how fast FMD would spread if 50 dairy herds versus 1,500 herds were vaccinated per day after an outbreak occurred.
When only 50 herds were vaccinated per day after an outbreak, the model suggests the average number of animals infected with FMD ranged from 30,000 to 88,000 head. But when 1,500 herds were vaccinated per day, the number of infected animals was less than 20,000.
It's easier said than done to have enough of the vaccine with the proper FMD strain available and mobilize such an effort. But the simulation study does show an FMD outbreak could be contained, and the majority of dairy cattle protected, with a rapid and widespread vaccination effort.

Do-It-Yourself Projects: Repurposed Cribs
Is your little one just a bit too old for that crib, and it's time to graduate to something a bit more grown up? Don't throw that old thing away - if you're looking for a fun upcycling project for your baby bed this summer, check out these posts from around the web on how to get started.
1. A beautiful, antique Victorian crib, transformed into a daybed, from Country Living.
2. Let the bed graduate with them! See details of this cute, little crafting station at A Little Learning For Two.
3. A great way to organize your own crafting or cooking supplies: a crib organizer wall, from Chez Larsson.
4. A quick plate holder for the more classical types, by My Reinspired Life.
5. A full tutorial on a headboard-to-bench project, from Scissors and Spatulas.

The crib-to-daybed is beautiful, but hardly a "daybed" for anybody other than a toddler.
I worked in an art studio located in a 1920's built wood home. My boss found an old crib painted it black and made a "day bed" more of a couch. lots of pillows and bold colors. She did actually curl up and take a nap. I have also curled up in my punks toddler bed and "napped" while they played. Its doable for a 5'3" person. Otherwise it makes a cute seating and emergency nap time. If I remember correctly the side was dropped and the "bed/seating" was on the highest setting. It was a bit tall for me but very comfy. It might have been the back of the bedding I am remembering or the bars set between the wall?? Also made a great spot to put extra boxes when we ran out of floor space.
the last bench is AMAZING!!!!
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the mattress frame. Mine is metal but is calling out for a recycle job!
I was able to make some toy storage out of the drawer underneath.
I think it's a sweet idea to repurpose a crib especially if it is nice in style and was used for a long time in a family. Having said that I will most likely just sell mine on Craigslist so someone else can use it, but I do like this idea.
I have a Jenny Lind drop-side that cannot sell; saving that last bench one for reference. I do love the style very much of the JL, even asking my husband for him to hack it and turn it into a twin for our preschooler somehow.
What is the wall color. Love it

Let there be no question: I am strongly anti-tobacco. Over the years, my husband and I have worked with a financial adviser to manage our investment portfolio. Our practice has been to advise him on our broad financial strategy, but we did not get involved in individual stock selections. This led to the investment in the stock of a tobacco company, which conflicts with our values.

In the last two weeks, I've received e-mails from two readers of The No-Nonsense General-Class License Study Guide. Both questioned my explanation of how transformers transform impedance. I wrote:
Transformers are also used to transform impedances. The impedance ratio is also related to the turns ratio, but the transformation is equal to the square of the turns ratio. The turns ratio of a transformer used to match an audio amplifier having a 600-ohm output impedance to a speaker having a 4-ohm impedance is 12.2 to 1. (G5C07)
Doug wrote, "The only way I can reproduce the calculation is by taking the square root of the turns ratio." His comment made me see where my explanation could be a bit misleading. I wrote back:
Think about it this way. An impedance transformation can go either way. When transforming from a higher impedance to a lower impedance, you divide by the square root of the turns ratio. When transforming a lower impedance to a higher impedance, you multiply by the square of the turns ratio. In either case, the impedance ratio is "related" to the square of the turns ratio.
I love getting feedback from my readers. Feedback like this helps me improve my study guides. If you have used one of my study guides, and have a comment or question about any of the material, please feel free to contact me.

Jonathan Cheng, M.D.
Associate Professor
Plastic Surgery
Biomedical Engineering
Associate Professor
Plastic Surgery
Biomedical Engineering
Jonathan Cheng, M.D., is Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He is trained in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures and is a board-certified plastic surgeon and hand surgeon. His commitment to patients – both adults and children – is providing quality, innovative care.
He has advanced training in hand, peripheral nerve, and microvascular surgery. He treats a broad spectrum of hand and wrist disorders, such as fractures, arthritis, trigger finger, Dupuytren's contracture, and carpal tunnel syndrome. He also specializes in evaluating and treating peripheral nerve disorders, including cubital tunnel syndrome and tarsal tunnel syndrome, brachial plexus injury, facial paralysis, and peroneal neuropathy. Dr. Cheng is one of the few doctors in the country trained to perform migraine surgery. He is a contributing member of UT Southwestern's hand transplant team.
I don't believe in using a cookie-cutter approach. For every patient, I take into consideration what their goals are, so I can help to find the right solutions for them."
He is skilled in surgical and nonsurgical facial rejuvenation techniques, abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty, and other cosmetic surgery procedures. For facial rejuvenation, Dr. Cheng advocates a graded approach. Many of his patients typically start with skin care, topical treatment, lasers, and peels before moving to more invasive alternatives.
UT Southwestern Plastic Surgery is highly recognized for its expertise in breast reconstruction. Dr. Cheng is among a small number of surgeons in North Texas performing SGAP and PAP flap procedures after breast cancer treatment.
Plastic surgery is founded on the principles of comprehensive anatomical understanding and meticulous surgical technique, Dr. Cheng says. With this level of expertise, plastic surgeons are trained to work on all areas of the body, from head to toe.
"The same skill set that allows me to perform complex brachial plexus repair, facial nerve reconstruction, and microsurgical breast reconstruction, makes it possible for me to perform aesthetic surgery procedures throughout the body with high standards of quality and safety," says Dr. Cheng.
Dr. Cheng has numerous ongoing research projects, one of which is part of a Defense Department initiative to develop nerve interfaces for amputees with robotic arms. Another project investigates new techniques to reconstruct injured nerves.
"When patients come under my care, I try to keep in mind that it is an intrusion on their normal, everyday lives. There's the inconvenience of being in pain, or being away from work and family. A 20-minute clinic visit for us equates to half a day's work time for them. I really try to be considerate of their time," he says.
In addition to seeing patients at UT Southwestern, he is an active member of the Fogelson Plastic Surgery and Craniofacial Center at Children's Medical Center.

Music to Your Ears
Rahim's a Grammy Hopeful
Iraquerque oudist and composer Rahim Alhaj is up for a Grammy! Alhaj's nomination was announced toward the end of 2007, but you'll have to tune in to the 50th Grammy Awards (which aren't being picketed by the Writers Guild) to find out if our homeboy wins. It's airing on CBS (or "Channel 13" to you and me) this Sunday, Feb. 10. The album of the hour is When The Soul Is Settled: Music Of Iraq, 73 minutes of music Alhaj recorded with tabla master Souhail Kaspar (the tabla is a hand drum that's sort of shaped like an hourglass—you've seen them before). Look for it on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings label. Good luck, Rahim!

Spinal Cord Injury/Dysfunction ClinicOur physicians utilize an interdisciplinary approach to tailor your rehabilitation to your needs. Whether you are a new spinal cord injury/dysfunction patient coming to grips with the impairments and disability associated with impairment, or one who has lived with an injury for awhile, we will help to facilitate and continue to educate you and your family regarding your rehabilitation.
The goal of rehabilitation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life - physically, emotionally, and socially. In order to help reach these goals, programs may include the following:
- assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating, dressing, bathing, toileting, handwriting, cooking, and basic housekeeping
- speech therapy to help patients with speaking, reading, writing, or swallowing
- stress, anxiety and depression management
- bladder and bowel retraining
- activities to improve mobility (movement), muscle control, gait (walking), and balance
- exercise programs to improve movement, prevent or decrease weakness caused by lack of use, manage spasticity and pain, and maintain range of motion
- social and behavioral skills retraining
- nutritional counseling
- involvement in community support groups
- activities to improve cognitive impairments, such as problems with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment
- help with obtaining assistive devices that promote independence
- patient and family education and counseling
- safety and independence measures and home care needs
- pain management
- vocational counseling


text: Sunday marks the opening of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at MSU. The $45 million project sports an ultra contemporary exterior and dedicates nearly 75 percent of interior space to showcase art. The new museum will serve as a learning experience for students but is also expected to boost the local economy. University officials say the museum should draw up to 125,000 visitors per year which means a $5 million boost to the local economy.

Sep 30
...Just like you've probably abandoned your old heavy phone books because you can look up information digitally now, FedEx is doing the same thing. In addition to on-aircraft computer access to digital information, we've finished distributing over 4,300 iPads to all our pilots so they can access all necessary information onscreen, and now we're in the process of taking all the paper kits off all the airplanes in our fleet. It's a lot of paper--- 32 TONS worth!...

This coming Sunday evening, September 21, 2014, I will be holding my annual seminar/discussion group on graduate school. The meeting will take place in Mabee 408 from 6:00 PM to around 7:30 PM. The title of the session is: "Graduate School – Getting In, Staying In, Surviving It."
This is an informal discussion and the purpose is to inform OBU students about the process of getting admitted to graduate and professional school and what a grad student can expect to experience while there. The information discussed can apply to students in any degree field so please make plans to attend if you can. The meeting is open to all students and current juniors and seniors are especially encouraged to attend.
If you plan to attend it would be helpful if you could send me a brief email letting me know so that I can be sure to have enough copies of the handout I will distribute.
At the cookout we wish to provide food soft drinks, and music to people who went to tiger tunes, involved in tiger tunes, or other students on campus that evening following Tiger Tunes.

A lot is being made about McLaren and the launch of their new dealership network - the first showroom being at One Hyde Park in London. However, while the star-studded event drew some very important people, most notably F1 drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, and McLaren CEO Ron Dennis, one car that was displayed at the event caught the most of our attention. It was a McLaren MP4-12C , except that it wasn't just any other MP4-12C. This bad boy was dressed up in chrome.
We don't know if this shiny piece of McLaren goodness is a special edition model or maybe even just a one-off that's going to be auctioned sometime down the road, but it sure looks more delicious than just about any MP4-12C we've ever seen.
Add that to the fact that it also carries quite a powertrain under its hood, one that features a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing a mouth-watering 592 horsepower at 7,000rpm and 443 lb/ft of torque between 3,000 and 7,000rpm, and you've got a truly one-of-a-kind MP4-12C.
So in the event any McLaren big wig reads our site, consider this an appeal to make this chrome MP4-12C a special edition model. Now it might be hard considering that all MP4-12C models are already sold out for the next three years , but hey, we can dream, right?
Check out a short walk-through video of the Chrome MP4-12C courtesy of YouTube user "dimi164" after the jump

Santa will have some extra security as he flies through the sky on Christmas Eve. A couple of military fighter jets will now help guide him.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command added the twist to this year's animated tracking of Santa's Reindeer Flight from the North Pole.
The addition is not sitting well with some child advocates; they claim military jets have no place in the childhood fantasy. A spokesman for NORAD says the idea of adding the jets was part of an effort to give the program a more "operational feel."
The military has been updating children on Santa's whereabouts since the mid-1950's. Calls to Santa for comment were not immediately returned.

Is my life any different since I became a Jesuit? Oh, yes. The rules of obedience, from the structure of the day to this assignment at the Vatican, have put me under constraints I did not have before, but they're constraints of my choosing, which, like the rules of a sonnet, give me a framework to create a wonderfully fulfilled life.
