Main dish
Whole-wheat Penne With Spring Greens and Sausage
If you have trouble finding Swiss chard, you can substitute spinach.
8 ounces whole-wheat penne
1 pound Swiss chard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces chicken sausages, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2-inch-thick crosswise
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
15-ounce can chopped tomatoes, preferably fire roasted
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
11/2 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Cook pasta a few minutes less than the recommended time on the box. Meanwhile, cut off and slice Swiss chard stems. Chop the leaves coarsely.
In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Cook sausage, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove to a bowl.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the onion. Cook until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the chard stems to the skillet, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Add half the chard leaves. Stir and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are slightly wilted. Add the remaining greens, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted. Add the tomatoes, a hefty pinch of salt and the red pepper flakes.
When the pasta is almost done, drain it, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Add the pasta and 3/4 cup cooking liquid to the skillet and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, adding more cooking liquid if necessary, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the sausages and season with salt. Divide among 4 shallow bowls and top each portion with cheese. Makes 4 servings.

Public can help find new college president
Wanted: A gifted educator and administrator that can lead the fifth largest community college in Virginia, consisting of more than 14,895 students.
What qualities are needed to become president of John Tyler Community College? Well, the public is being asked to weigh in on the matter.
Dr. Marshall W. Smith, the current college president, plans to retire in August 2013. The college and the Virginia Community College System plan to conduct a nationwide search for his replacement.
The initial stages of the search process for John Tyler Community College's new president are under way. The community college, which has campuses in Midlothian and Chester, is inviting the community to provide input into the selection of the next president by participating in a brief, web-based survey. A link to the survey can be found on the college's homepage at www.jtcc.edu. The survey will be available through Dec. 19, 2012.
This is your opportunity for you to consider what direction the college should go in and what should be the priorities of the public, two-year institution of higher education. By giving your input on the survey, you can help steer the future direction of the college.
It's a great opportunity for those who have been students there, may want to send children there, have worked there or are just interested in higher education for the region. You can help set the course for a major institution in the region.
To comment you must first create a profile and sign-in with a verified DISQUS account or social network ID. Sign up here.

Ms. Suzanne Alma St. Pierre
WOONSOCKET - Suzanne Alma St. Pierre, 57 died Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at her home. All services will be private.
Ms. St. Pierre was born February 9, 1957 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island and was a daughter of the late Wilfred Joseph St. Pierre and Cecile Hebert Cousineau.
She is survived by one son, Eric Marc St. Pierre and wife Jennifer of Warwick, RI; one sister, Theresa DuRand of Chester, SC; a niece, Lynn Segars of Chester, SC; and a nephew, Robert D. DuRand of Woonsocket, RI.
PAWTUCKET -- PawSox shortstop Deven Marrero swears by a motto that proves quite handy whenever heŌĆÖs scuffling at the plate: ŌĆ£If IŌĆÖm not getting hits, theyŌĆÖre definitely not getting any hits,ŌĆØ Marrero said recently while seated at his McCoy Stadium locker.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō The Woonsocket Cat Sanctuary is seeking donations to rehabilitate a cat that was found trapped in a dumpster on Welles Street about two weeks ago.
Deb Adam, the director of the nonprofit feline rescue agency, said she believes the cat had been neglected for some time before it was deliberately placed in the trash bin and left for dead. The animal was found by some neighbors who heard a banging noise coming from inside the dumpster, looked in and discovered the cat.
Rita M. Scott
BURRILLVILLE - Rita M. Scott, 96, resident of Pascoag, RI, passed away August 24, 2014 at the Overlook Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Pascoag.
She was the loving wife to the late Warren Scott, Sr.

Veronica T. Wynne
MANVILLE - Veronica Therese (Gariepy) Wynne, 87, passed away Sunday, August 24, 2014 After many years of illness, she had most recently been a patient of Beacon Hospice. Born to Aram and Mary (Mulligan) Gariepy on March 27, 1927, Veronica is predeceased by her parents, sisters Evelyn Desrochers, Rita Hallock, Winnie Minot and her brother Leo Gariepy.
Claire E. Fisette
WOONSOCKET - Claire E. (Dion) Fisette, 84, formerly of Jenckes St. Woonsocket passed away peacefully on Friday August 22, 2014 at St. Antoine Residence. She was the wife of the late Bertrand Fisette who passed away in 1979.

BELLINGHAM ŌĆō When Denis Auger and Mickey Emery got the idea to help disabled veterans with a cookout at AugerŌĆÖs Lake Hiawatha home 11 years ago, they counted on the help of the friends and area veterans to put the event together and make it happen.
Emery died in 2010, but the annual event benefitting disabled veterans from the Brockton VA Hospital and other residences was on again at AugerŌĆÖs home on Saturday thanks to the help of EmeryŌĆÖs wife, Liz; AugerŌĆÖs daughter, Nicole Auger-Gassett; and a battalion of volunteers from area veteran organizations.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō What started out as a conversation between Rhode Island Interscholastic League officials has resulted in the striking of a rule that pertains to the loaning of football equipment during the summertime.
Tom Mezzanotte, RIIL executive director, brought what he felt was a serious matter to the attention of the R.I. PrincipalsŌĆÖ Committee on Athletics during last weekŌĆÖs meeting. Upon holding discussions with the medical community and the RIILŌĆÖs attorney, Mezzanotte recommended to the PCOA that the practice of high schools lending equipment cease immediately.
A pot simmers on the stove inside the kitchen of the two-story colonial when Brother Alan Aubin is summoned from his chair at the dinner table by the unusually shrill clang of an old-fashioned doorbell.
A slight man with a dollop of silvery hair lopped across his forehead, Aubin opens the back door and quietly acknowledges the visitor, handing the stocky man in blue jeans a couple of sandwiches and a canned drink. ItŌĆÖs a transaction that lasts just a few seconds from start to finish, and it takes place with few words, uttered in hushed tones.
WOONSOCKET– The past few years have seen Connor Fugere bring acclaim and notoriety to the throwing section of Woonsocket High's track & field program. A recent graduate who is poised to take his talents to Northeastern University this fall, Fugere has been a source of inspiration for his Villa Novan track peers.

Goldman Sachs Tapes Reverberate
Sen. Warren speaks to NPR about the Goldman Sachs tapes: "…there were two things that jumped out. The first was just a basic lack of truthful reporting: Supervisors are actually telling examiners not to report accurately the damning things they heard from bank executives during meetings … And the second thing: Look at how the Fed emphasized talk instead of action."
W. Post's Nolan McCarty dissects: "The most telling moment in the broadcast was the scene where Segarra's bosses patted themselves on the back for sending a shot across Goldman's bow just after the listeners had actually heard them roll over like lap dogs … While the tapes don't conclusively resolve why the Fed was so soft on Goldman, it does offer several clues that suggest the importance of the complexity of the financial sector."
Big Setback For Corporate Tax Avoiders
EU cracks down on Irish tax shelters. Bloomberg: "The European Commission's crackdown on the deal between Irish tax authorities and Apple Inc. marks an expansion in the growing global war on tax avoidance by multinational companies. Governments that enable it are now a target. Yesterday, the European Commission said the Irish tax authorities failed to conform to international guidelines when they 'reverse engineered' an agreement with Apple to determine the company's bills."
WH "optimistic" on corporate tax reform. The Hill: "National Economic Council Director Jeffrey Zients said the proposal for overhauling the corporate code put forward by President Obama is 'remarkably similar' to the one put forward last year by Rep. Dave Camp (Mich.), the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee … 'That makes me optimistic that we can get something done.'"
Solar Can Power The World
New reports show solar can overtake coal. TNR's Rebecca Leber: "The reports come from the International Energy Agency (IEA). It focuses on two kinds of solar—the kind that's commonly seen installed on homes and businesses in the U.S. (solar photovoltaic) and the kind that generates heat to power (solar thermal). Within 35 years, according to the reports, they could account (respectively) for 16 and 11 percent of the world's electricity generation … To hit the levels IEA projects, there would have to be substantial investment upfront."
35,000 Alaska walruses can't find sea ice. Time: "Nearly 35,000 walruses were discovered this month on a northwest Alaskan shore as result of being unable to find sea ice to rest upon, a problem aggravated by climate change, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said."
WH Moves To Solve Child Migrant Crisis
Obama approves solution to child migrant influx. NYT: " President Obama has approved a plan to allow several thousand young children from Central American countries to apply for refugee status in the United States … The spike in migrations raised concerns that the journey across Mexico was often more dangerous than the rough conditions the children were fleeing … Officials have said that the number of children crossing the border has decreased over the last two months, but White House officials said the new program should help to stem that flow even further by providing children a way to determine if they qualify as refugees without leaving their country."
HHS tries to fund legal representation to child migrants. Politico: "With the 2014 fiscal year literally hours away from ending, HHS said Tuesday it has committed $4.2 million in leftover funds to support the efforts to secure counsel for the children. Republicans in the House have blocked prior efforts by the Justice Department to use its own funds for this purpose … HHS estimated that the funds are sufficient to provide legal representation for about 1222 children, with an initial focus on eight cities including Los Angeles, Houston, and Phoenix. That's a fraction of the total number of minors … But the step is significant and comes as migrant rights attorneys are trying to elevate the same issue in federal court in Seattle."

If your toddler wants to be a pack of cigarettes for Halloween, that's fine. Just be sure to be a responsible parent and accompany them as a bottle of Jack Daniel's. It's a great father-son bonding experience.

Definitely the most badass Ghostbuster I've seen today. I just look at the guy and I start hearing The Rolling Stone's "Paint It, Black". That isn't weird, is it?

Ahoy, there sea mates! Deadpool here. Like my pirate pistols? Don't worry, you're eyes are not deceiving you, there are not period authentic. I stole this Captain Morgan costume from some d-bag at the bar where I was entered in a chimichanga eating contest.

Jack (Joanna Ward) is a 13-year-old mixed-race girl growing up in '70s small-town England. She spends her time discovering her sexuality, arguing with her alcoholic mum and pursuing her passion for athletics. Sounds rather like a big-screen version of Grange Hill? You're not wrong. Admittedly, this is a quirky yarn, but it lacks the bite that'd make you care for the central character - instead you'll sit there wanting to tug hard at her bunches. This is partly down to Roberta Bangura's theatrical and uncreative BBC-style directing, but also to that nagging question: who is the film really aimed at? It's too patronising for today's adolescent and too clichéd to add humour to memories of the spotty days of youth. Steer clear.

Including best year, pros an cons please help really love this car want as much info as i can get thanks!!!!!
Including best year, pros an cons please help really love this car want as much info as i can get thanks!!!!!
i love them too! subaru's r great cars they last forever if u maintain them correctly, they have a good crash rating, they keep their value, wrx's r fast but i also heard that to race them, the stock isn't all great so u may want to add some performance parts.
If you're in the US then the first year was the 02. I hear the 02-03 had the weakest gears but not really a problem if you don't modify too heavily. They also had the most forgiving ECU in terms of accepting modifications. 04-05 got a new ECU that does not like even simple mods without some sort of engine management. They did get a little upgraded gears but nothing big. Big change came in 06 when they got a 2.5 liter engine. I have had an 02 and now a 06 and it is much torquier and better acceleration. I would love to get an 08 but I just bought the 06 so not yet. Other than that there was a slight interior change in 05. They are all great cars but also very abused by youngsters so make sure you have a mechanic look it over or if you buy from a dealer make sure you still get some warranty.
05 for sure

Tigers vs. Jayhawks: From the Civil War to the Battle for No. 1Posted: September 25, 2013 Filed under: College Football, Mark Godich, Weekly Issue, Weekly Press Release | Tags: Kansas, Mark Godich, Missouri Comments Off
In this week's SI, senior editor Mark Godich shares an excerpt from his book Tigers vs. Jayhawks: From the Civil War to the Battle for No. 1, which will be published on Oct. 1 by Ascend Books. The excerpt focuses on the lead-up to the first game played by the onetime fierce rivals (they no longer play each other) on a neutral field since the 1940s, on Nov. 24, 2007, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas was 11-0 and ranked second in the country, while Mizzou was 10-1 and ranked fourth. It was the first time in 116 meetings that both teams were ranked in the top 10.
Godich explains that the late Lamar Hunt, the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, came up with the idea to bring the game to Arrowhead Stadium. In 1988, he told then Chiefs GM Carl Peterson to make it happen, and after years of discussions, it finally did in 2007. "One of my biggest regrets is that he [Lamar Hunt] didn't live long enough to see KU-MU at Arrowhead," Peterson says. (PAGE 53)
"Business as usual," Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel says of the mood at practice the week before the game. "Our motto that whole year was that it's a big game because it's the next game. We didn't change anything.' " (PAGE 52)
"It was a positive anxiety," says Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing. "I wanted the week to end so we could get to the game. I had so much raw energy. Those days couldn't go by fast enough. It was a long week, the longest week I ever had before playing a game." (PAGE 52)
The night before the game, No. 1-ranked LSU was upset by Arkansas, raising the stakes even higher for this game—the winner would most likely become the nation's top team. With ESPN's College GameDay live at the stadium, the atmosphere was wild.
"The greatest feeling was driving up," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel says. "It was unbelievable. Un-be-lievable. Fans were running up and hitting the buses. There were roars and cheers. You went by the Kansas people, and it was just the opposite. The environment was as good as it will ever get." (PAGE 53)
Missouri would win the game 36-28 and move to No. 1 but lose the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma.

Bogue Chitto trailed throughout the game, but finally pulled ahead on Martin's long catch and run down the home sideline to put the Bobcats up 32-28.
"I just had that want in my heart," said Martin. "We couldn't lose that game. We wanted to be district champs.
"I had to do what it took, so I had to to make that catch."
Martin reports that he had a good feeling when he left the huddle that he would have a chance to make a big play.
"We ran a 31 gun switch," said Martin. "That's where me and the two outside receivers switch. I told Brock (Roberts) to throw it up to me and I would go make a play and that's just what I did."
The catch sent the home town crowd into a frenzy. The win over Stringer is the latest win in what has proven to be a special season for the Bobcats.
"I feel great," said Martin. "I feel like we can win the whole thing. I feel like if we keep working hard that nobody can stop us."
Several college programs have shown some level of interest. Martin knows he will be on a football roster somewhere next fall. He is just not sure where.
"I have offers from Southwestern and Hinds and Northwestern State was here to talk to me tonight," said Martin. "I really want to go to college and pursue my career.
"I just want to go somewhere that they want me and then I want to go do all I can to help the team."

Darksiders (PS3) Review
Posted by
Jeffrey Harris
on 02.02.2010
The early runaway gaming hit of the year is here in
. Jeffrey Harris checks in with his full review of the game.
Action-adventure/Hack and Slash
Single player
M For Mature
I've been excited about
since I first checked the game out way back at San Diego Comic-Con 2008. Then 411mania got to play and preview it at E3 and check out even more at SDCC 09. Now we've finally got our hands on the game and
has quickly become a runaway best seller early in 2010. This review is for the final PS3 version of the game which was also released on the Xbox 360 last month.
puts you smack dab into the Armageddon of the Earth itself. You are War, literally the War horseman of the Apocalypse. War and the other Horsemen are servants of the Charred Council, a mysterious group of entities that seeks to bring balance to the war of Heaven and Hell. This balance is upset when War answers to the call of the Apocalypse as Heaven and Hell have started the end war on present day Earth. Unfortunately this war was not supposed to start until Humankind was ready and the Seventh Seal was broken. War is promptly blamed for starting the Apocalypse and War requests to go back to Earth to find evidence to clear his name. The Charred Council allows this, stripping War of many of his powers and bonds War to a powerful phantom called The Watcher ("Hey! Listen! Over here!"). With the forces of Heaven and Hell out to get him, War searches a ravaged planet to try and clear his name and uncovers a greater and more sinister conspiracy.
One of the cooler elements to the story of this game is at the start you actually take part in the Apocalypse of Earth, definitely something different for a videogame which will constantly allow you to see a ravaging or the destruction of Earth, but not actually be a part of it. Over the course of the game you make some tenuous alliances and also FRENEMIES! War also gets back his mount, Ruin, one of the coolest moments of the game and finds out why the other Horsemen did not show up for the End of Days.
The graphics are smooth and sharp and the game has a wide, lush use of colors. I've been a huge fan of Joe Mad's artwork for years, and it's awesome seeing his work finally come to life in this format considering he pretty much left the comics world to focus on videogames over the past several years. The Xbox 360 version of the game has reportedly had issues with screen tearing and glitches which Vigil released a patch to fix. I've noticed no such problems with the PS3 version. The frame rates and resolution are fine.
One problem I did experience was during the worm and Stygian battles that the screen would start skipping and having slow down. This didn't crash the game but did cause some minor problems and glitching. However, this is the only graphically visible problem I experienced while playing the game. Pretty much all of the in-game cut scenes save for the opening are done in FMV and the same style as the game. This helps cutting back on load time as the game is virtually seamless and you aren't stuck waiting through a million different load screens.
Some critics have called this game a
God of War
clone, but the visual style is anything but. The creature and character designs are amazing, and props to Mad for actually being a little more conservative with the female characters. I mean, I like Red Monika as much as the next guy, but . . . c'mon. The bosses are huge and ridiculous looking as they should, since they are the harbingers of the end of the world. I'd always enjoy the mini-boss fights almost more than the actual boss fights since you would see some of the more interestingly designed characters like the Jailer. Samael's design is pretty awesome since it's reminiscent of Lord Darkness from the underrated
Ridley Scott
. Seriously, rent it sometime, it's really good.
Tim Curry
as Lord Darkness is a trip.
The environments and levels are very nicely designed and well done. The Ashlands area was my personal favorite because with the Stygian and worms it almost felt like I was playing a good version of a
videogame. My one little issue is that I wish some of the environments of the levels and demolished cities looked more clearly identifiable. I mean clearly at the very start of the game you are in NYC. And I assume in part of the rest of game you are in NYC, but I think it would have been cooler and more devastating assuming War's mission takes him around the world if you could see some more clearly identifiable world cities that have been ravaged by Hell's forces.
"What are you buying? What are you selling?"
The Gameplay
Alright, here we go. Once again, this game has been derided and criticized by some as being a
God of War
clone. This has become a popular and almost overused, cliché amongst the gaming media these days. But honestly, going back for decades, you can find games that play exactly like other games, same style, look and everything. And the games could still be awesome. Similarity between games does not make games bad. Now, there are certainly elements in this game that are like GOW. The action and combat is similar. The on screen button commands leading to enemy kills are similar. But even GOW did not originate that gimmick, so it's really an invalid complaint. More than anything, I loved and enjoyed the combat and action in this game. Ever since I played the game at E3, I enjoyed the smooth and responsive controls. The game is very easy to pick up and play. Not to mention, the game really lets you feel powerful, and as you progress you get even stronger and more powerful so you can slice and dice your enemies with ease. I enjoy badass combat gameplay.
Camera control is fairly well done in the game. My only problems with the camera were in certain climbing parts. One of my favorite camera features is when you get an onscreen button command to kill an enemy and once the in-game combat cut scene starts, you can still continue to move your camera around so you can see what bunch of enemies are right behind you ready to strike. I don't recall the GOW games being able to do that with the camera while you slice your enemies to ribbons.
War starts with his giant sword, the Chaos Eater at the beginning of the game. Over the course of the game, he can pick up more weapons like the Harvester scythe and Tremor Gauntlet as other melee weapons. As you progress, you gain more long-range weapons like the Crossblades and the Mercy handgun. Besides the weapons War eventually possesses, the environments of the levels are very interactive and you can pick up and grab "environment" weapons like cars, cages, street light poles, parking meters, and even road signs to go to town on the bad guys... When you also fight and kill the Hellguard Angels, you can gain their holy bazookas that fire potent Jesus Juice. Also, destroying environmental items is a good way to farm for extra souls. Getting extra souls lets you buy new combos, attacks, power-ups, and enhancements from Vulgrim.
Over the course of the game, War can also attain enhancements and powers that you can use to customize and improve your weapons or attacks. There are enhancements that increase the power and damage of your sword and give you higher Chaos energy. At the start of the game, War has the power to turn into a giant, demonic like "Chaos" form, which War loses early in the game. Later in the game, War gets the power back, and the enhancements let you get Chaos energy more quickly, as well as increasing the length and time of your limited Chaos form. Using the L1 button and D-pad you can start using your wrath attacks which are special moves limited to the yellow wrath power gauge on your screen. Pushing on your D-pad without holding L1 lets you switch your long range and melee weapons. So these are the kind of RPG elements that are worked into the game, and it's very easy to get a hang of them.
One of
biggest strengths is the amazing melding together of the elements of RPG and action-adventure games. I've never been that big on RPG's, but I quickly got addicted to how I could enhance my weapons and attacks in this game. A good portion of your play through in the game also has you in "dungeon" type levels where you have to solve puzzles and tricks to advance to your next big fights. These puzzle solving levels and rooms are mixed in with a lot of combat and action as well, so the game never gets too boring.
The boss fights are great and a ton of fun. I would often have problems getting into the strategy of beating the boss. Tiamat, the first major boss in the game was the toughest since she flies around most of the time, and you have to precisely throw a bomb at her without getting burned or slashed to death. And then you have to throw your crossblade while the bomb is sticking to her. This was a little tricky. Other bosses require some clever maneuvering in order to start beating them.
The battles with the Stygian and the demon worms were awesome. These are the boss battles you get to fight on War's horse mount, Ruin. I was getting mauled constantly until I figured out that once you keep holding R2 (lock on button) while on Rui, the camera will continuously stay on your quarry and you can easily ride away from the worms and stay ahead of them while you unload your badass Mercy handgun on them. There is a part in the Stygian boss fight where the Stygian unleashes some helper worms on you. The gameplay has some absolutely amazing shots of these demon worms jumping out on the sand trying to land down on you while you shoot them back to Hell. Awesome sauce.
Samael is talking about War wanting to land Uriel the Angel.
The voice acting and script for this game is top notch. No one does dark, brooding, and yet noble and heroic quite like the powerhouse voice acting veteran,
Liam O'Brien
, who plays War. You might also remember O'Brien as Angel/Archangel in
Wolverine And The X-men
and Gaara in Naruto. Alongside War through most of the game is The Watcher played by the legendary Jedi,
Mark Hammill
. Movie and TV star,
Moon Bloodgood
, was inoffensive as the commanding Hellguard angel, Uriel. More than anything, despite the somewhat outlandish nature of the characters and story, all the dialogue was actually pretty cool and appropriate. I really dug the hell out of all these characters and their voices, especially Samael.
The game has an excellent score composed by
Mike Reagan
Cris Velasco
, who also did the GOW series. The game has a very good, distinct sound with the music that really reflects the ravaged world hell has become and danger and demons lurking around every corner. Sound FX and monster noises all sound really loud and ominous as well.
Freaking Joe Mad and his freaking drawing me with these freaking big hands. How the hell am I supposed to drink a beer with these things?!
Fun Factor
The game has great combat and action, some innovative boss fights, great designs, and a great story and script. The game has virtually no load time and runs almost seamlessly. Game saves and leaving and going back to play are easy to do. The game does an excellent job of merging elements of other gaming genres and styles to make something that is unlike anything you have ever played before.
"Evil, meet my Sword! SWORD! MEET EVIL!"
Lasting Appeal
Here's where the game has some of its drawbacks. Aside from the single player mode, there's not really anything else to do in the game. Now, the single player mode is great -- no question. Once you are done with the game, you can challenge yourself in playing through the other difficulties of the game, this time with your powerful Abyssal Armor. Rumor has it that Vigil wanted to originally incorporate other ideas like a multiplayer mode and also the other Horsemen characters (I believe some of the weapons you pick up were originally designed for the other Horsemen if you find Joe Mad's character designs online). This game also could have used a battle arena or challenge type modes where you can fight an onslaught of enemies to get more achievements. Actually, there are these types of levels within the games when you need to break the Cursed Wall's curse to progress in the game. But you cannot play these types of levels once the game is beaten. There are additional and more difficult achievements you can attain to go platinum as well. Some challenge levels or multiplayer would have definitely pushed the game over the top.
I eat demon bats for breakfast!
The 411
, for what it did, turned out great. With the stage that's set at the end, a sequel looks even more ambitious and awesome, provided Vigil can do more of what was originally planned for the first game but was unable to get to and incorporate. Looks like War's going to be busy bringing a lot of his namesake for the years to come. Now if only Joe Mad would do some more
Battle Chasers
comics. Hell, I'd take a
Battle Chasers
videogame at this point.
Creative director, Joe Mad, brings a great, unique design style to the game.
I'm going to throw my crossblade at you and let it spin and slice you in half vertically while I cut you in half with my sword horizontally. You can't do that in GOW.
Great voice acting, awesome music score, and great, layered sound quality.
Lasting Appeal
The game could have used some additional content besides the one player story mode, but it still works very well.
Fun Factor
The game runs great with little wait or load time and excellently mixes up RPG and action-adventure styles.

Many times, agencies feel they need to hire the least expensive consult team to help guard taxpayer money. My consultant contacts tell me this approach may violate state and federal laws.
Set to focus on Metra's program of operational tests and inspections for all its operating crews, with special emphasis on training, qualification and testing of locomotive engineers.
The first thing to understand about P3s is that they are primarily a money-saving strategy and are still expected to earn a return on investment.
The event was hosted by APTA and CUTA and held prior to APTA's Rail Conference in Montreal in mid-June.

Philips Arena is one Atlanta's major performance venues as well as one of the easiest destinations to get to on MARTA at 1 Philips Drive. It next to the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN station on the blue/green rail line, just one stop west of Five Points.
If you are coming from the red or gold line, you will have to transfer to a westbound train at Five Points. Make sure you follow signs to the westbound platform.
Once you get to the Dome station, merely follow the signs to Philips Arena. You have the choice of going up a tall escalator or taking an elevator up to street level. A MARTA entry for Philips Arena is across from the station exit.
You can also walk to Philips Arena from the Five Points Station in about 15 minutes. The walk is a bit longer and not recommended late at night, but if you are coming from the north or south, you can avoid transferring trains by exiting at Five Points and walking the rest of the way.
Helpful Tips
- Purchase your roundtrip fare at the start of the evening, or better yet, days in advance to avoid any lines at the fare machines.
- After 7 p.m., trains run every 20 minutes. If you are going to Buckhead, Medical Center, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs or North Springs, board the first northbound train at the Five Points station and exit at the Lindbergh Center station for a North Springs train.
- Head down early to eat or drink at an area restaurant to avoid some crowding on the trains for big events. The rooftop bar on top of the Glenn Hotel nearby is trendy if you don't mind paying extra for a cocktail. There are also a few other nightlife options and bars.
- Several hotels are in walking distance of Philips Arena if you want stay overnight downtown afterward. See this list of hotels with walking directions for more information.
- Recommended MARTA parking is at Lindbergh Center, Inman Park or Candler Park for the shortest commute. If you live on the west side, there's also parking at Vince City, Ashby and West Lake.

Interstate 15 southbound has been shut down at Cheyenne due to a fatal accident.
The accident happened just before 3 p.m.
Nevada Highway Patrol has confirmed a female driving a Volkswagen Jetta was injured in an accident with a semi-truck. She was transported to UMC trauma where she was pronounced dead.
It is unknown if the semi-truck driver suffered any injuries.
According to NHP, witnesses say the Jetta was swerving across multiple lanes prior to colliding with the semi-truck. NHP Troopers suspect alcohol may have played a factor in the accident.
The delays affected the traffic coming from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. NHP was on scene at the Speedway directing traffic onto the westbound 215 Beltway.
Closures lasted nearly four hours.
FOX5 has a crew on scene and will bring you updates as they become available.

Each week, the NHL on TSN panel voices its opinions on the hot topics of the day in the Wednesday Night Hockey Quiz.
As a follow-up, TSN.ca offers you the opportunity to chime in on all the big issues with our insiders. Read up on all the questions and answers from TSN's hockey experts, and put in your own two cents on our popular Your! Call feature.
Question #1: What should have happened in the wake of Florida Panthers defenceman Keith Ballard whacking his goalie Tomas Vokoun with his stick? An NHL fine? A league suspension? A team suspension? Or nothing whatsoever?
Bob McKenzie: I'll say nothing whatsoever. The only one that I even contemplated for a moment was a team suspension, but the Panthers decided not to do it. If the Panthers are okay with it, I'm okay with it. I'm always trying to suspend guys in the NHL - not this time. Give me a break.
Darren Dreger: I'm going with NHL suspension. Obviously Ballard wasn't intending to hit Vokoun in the head, but there's still danger there. There's danger to the players on the ice, the officials on the ice and there's danger to those who are watching the game in the building. He's trying to smash his stick in frustration over the post, over the crossbar. What if it breaks and a shard of the composite stick goes up over the mesh and into the seats? It was a reckless and dangerous act.
Peter Laviolette: Absolutely no suspension whatsoever. It was an accident. He took his stick, he broke it over the post, he accidentally hit his teammate, he said he's sorry, it's all over. Suspension? The answer is no. Can you be suspended for breaking your stick over the post? The answer is no.
Question #2: If, as Vladislav Tretiak says, Alexander Ovechkin plays like he's half-Canadian and half-Russian, what blood other than Canadian could be said to flow through Sidney Crosby's veins? Half-Finnish? Half-Russian? Half-Swedish?
Dreger: I'm going with half-Finnish because clearly he's feisty and he has that scoring ability, too.
McKenzie: I'll go half-Swedish, although in this case I feel like invoking the Torts rule and saying I don't like the question. He's a good playmaker and the Swedes are a very humble group that like to pass the puck.
Laviolette: I'll say Russian. A couple of the most dynamic players - Kovalchuk and Ovechkin - they can really skate, they can score and they can really move.
Question #3 (Video Question - watch the corresponding NHL on TSN Quiz Video to see the three shootout moves mentioned): On the heels of Andrew Ladd's bad shootout move last night, who has demonstrated the NHL's worst shootout move in the non-Dennis Wideman category? We say that because Wideman's move is so bad that you all would select it if we had it in the category. From now on, a bad shootout move is called a 'Wideman'. Or, you pulled a 'Widey'.
Laviolette: I'm going to say Ladd. I watched it last night and when he took off and he threw it in the corner, it almost looked like a dump-in. I had him in Carolina and I won a Cup with him so I love Ladd. I hate saying bad things about him but that was bad.
Dreger: I'm going with Andy McDonald for the pure and simple fact that the game was on the line. The San Jose Sharks ended up winning the game because of the missed opportunity. Now there were others, but he doesn't even get a scoring chance at all.
McKenzie: I'll go with Ladd. He gets the 'Widey.' It's the first time I've ever seen a dump-and-chase in the shootout.
The NHL on TSN panelists have made their selections. Now it's your turn on the Your Call feature below!

As any 6th grader who shed a tear reading, Where the Red Fern Grows is aware, pets have a history of saving their owners in times of danger. Whether it's dogs, cats, lizards or weirder, we've heard story after story of pets selflessly protecting their owners when the going gets tough.
There has always been a deep connection between humans and animals, and though at times our cats may hide from us for days, deep down they love us (almost) as much as we love them.
In honor of the heroic pets of the world out there, here are a few recent stories of animals saving their owners that pulled on our heart strings.
Just a word of warning: you may want to grab a box of tissues. They don't end well.
Bradley Fights The Bears
After coming across a bear and her cubs while out in the woods, a 4-pound dachshund named Bradley defended his owners by chasing after, and attacking, the beast. The video is below, but remember what we said about the tissues:
Simon the Guide Dog Protects His Owner
Simon, a guide dog in Atlanta, has been called a hero after attempting to protect his owner from a car that ran a stop sign. Simon and his visually impaired owner were using a crosswalk when the car struck the pair and, according to bystanders, Simon leaped in front his owner to take the full brunt of the accident. The dog's owner Will survived, but once again things did not turn out well for the heroic pet. After limping home despite a broken leg, Simon apparently "made sure Will was okay" before laying down in a corner. Tragically, Simon passed away on the way to the vet.
And finally, because we don't want you feeling terribly depressed for the rest of the day, a story that ends on a positive note:
Dog Saves Baby From Crawling Into The Sea:
A dog in Turkey became the hero of the day after lying down in front of a baby to keep it from crawling into the ocean. After spotting the baby crawling down the beach towards the water, the dog sprinted to lay in front of, and block, the child from going any further until the parents could grab her. I guess the real question here is why a bunch of people in Turkey just stand around video taping any time a baby starts crawling towards a body of water. But instead we'll just focus on that patron saint of pups.

As we sit in our pews every week, looking at the church programs we were handed when we walked in the door, we rarely expect more than a list of what's going to occur during the service. Plus, there's usually a list of other events for the next week and a prayer list. Sometimes there's an attendance list and offerings from the previous week on the other page as well. But rarely do we expect the bulletin to look "great". It's a source of information for those in the congregation who show up for Sunday services. But there's no reason we can't make church programs that look great, and having them look great may actually bring more interest in what it has to say.
Church programs have always been bland pieces of paper with information in it. The front and back usually has a plain picture on it with the church information, but other than that, it's usually a very plain affair. But with the blank programs available and with your favorite word processor, we can make church programs that don't have to be plain or boring any longer.
There are lots of great program blanks available with a wide variety of themes. This means you can actually have a different program for every week without having duplicates. Plus, for special occasions like Easter and Christmas, there are church programs especially for those. To simply things, there are templates you can download for your word processor that makes setting up the programs a breeze. No longer do you have to fiddle with how things look until its right, just fit everything in the templates and you're done.
Let's face it, congregations get used to things being one way, and church programs are one of the things that they rarely expect to change. But with a few minutes of time and some great blank program stock, you can make a change that will impress everyone in the congregation. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to set up and print off your new church programs, so take a look at all the great programs available.
