Halo 4 Reviews
Game Informer - 9.5
1UP.com- A-
Inside Gaming- 10/10 (This one admittedly is a little bias as the guy who reviews it is a uber Halo fan, LOL)
X-Play- 4.5/5
Beat me to it Shifty. IGN is calling for it to be game of the year.
Video review for those interested, graphics look stunning:
It looks like they did alot of small things i approve of. For example: facial animations. From the review, it looks like they nailed it. They compared it to LA Noire, but to me it looks more realistic in this game. Hell of a start for 343 industries.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
As for the "small things", if you really want to appreciate this game you need to read the books. 343 has made it a point to incorporate the expanded universe of Halo. Unlike Bungie who pulled a George Lucas as just ignored the fictions that others created to help shape their universe.
Well, i meant "the little things" more directed at in game stuff. The review made a point of mentioning the sound effects. Things like the rattling of guns and Master Chiefs armor sliding and clanking against itself. Effects like that could be considered minor, but add a level of realism to it that helps the player get into the game. The biggest thing 343 nailed was the story, from the sound of it. It would have been incrediable easy for this studio to make a game involving big explosions and Master Chief running through set pieces. Instead, it looks like they focused on a very human story: the friendship of Chief and Cortana. Its ambitious and it sounds like they nailed it. I very much appreciate that.
Im currently playing through the Assassin's Creed series and a few games ago they took away a romantic love interest from the main character. Having spent 3 games building that up, youd think the main character would have some regret over it. I kid you not, there was a single sentence from the main character concerning it in the following game. Im working through the latest game now and still no real mention of it. Im glad Halo didnt make a similar mistake.
As for the fiction, i actually read one of the books. It was after the original game, think it concerned the fall of Reach. It was.....alright. I couldnt get into the following stuff. Relatively recently, ive had people try and convince me to give it another go(think they specifically pointed out "Cole Protocol" if i recall correctly?). Just havent had the interest in it thus far. If Halo 4 knocks the feet out from under me, ill probably give it another try.
As for the graphics and the sounds, you are right. It blows my mind that this is a Halo game.
So I have been playing he new game for a bit now. I haven't finished the game yet, but this is looking to be the best halo yet!
The opening cinematic is PC quality and total fan service. The new CoD style controls are a welcomed change and fit just fine in the universe. LOVE being able to sprint. As Spesh said earlier, the sound in the game is amazing. Though I think they need to tone down the worthog a little. But if this game wins any awards this year it will be for sound design.
I haven't played must of the multiplayer. But what I have played in really like. It is fun like Halo 2 and 3 were.
Overall, if you own an xbox this is a must own title.
Forgive my spelling. This was sent from my phone.

Don't overthink this OK? It's just a grinder. Sears has some good ones for about 25 to 50 bucks and you'll get your money's worth. If you're a tool junkie like me get 2! One for your wire wheel and one for your grinding disc. Get a cheap one and an expensive one. I suggest the paddle trigger since if you drop it then it will automatically shut off. By-the-way good luck in your class.

I agree 100% with not over-thinking this. It is just a grinder. I have never really been happy with the paddle trigger, I found that to shut it off I had two fingers on the trigger and was trying to hold a spinning grinder with my last two fingers. I just found this incomfortable, so I use the gun trigger styles. Makita 9005 5" for lighter work. Makita 9015DBZ or 9016DBZ for heavier work. The 9015 & 9016 are the exact same model, just one is sold as a 5" (cheaper) and one is sold as a 6".
Whatever you decide, if you're new to angle grinders, always use the aux. handle, the guard (cut down to 120 degree sweep if you like) safety glasses and a faceshield. Hearing protection is a good idea too. We only have one set of eyes and ears. Protect them. They have to last you a lifetime.
Spend a little money on a better grinder. 13 amps ( for a 5")seems to last the longest when you're using it all the time. And pack the grease into the gear head once in a while, it helps in keeping the tool ready for use no matter what type of disk you use...Jonny

verry true guys.
wile we would all love to have a garage or back yard shop full of 5 or 6 metabo's its just not real practical for a home shop. unless you got lots of extra $ them by all means go fo it. hence my sugjestion for the green B&D at wally world for $49. its 6 or 7 amps probly 7 like the craftsmen i just got. easy to use triger and should last a wile for home use. if he is just starting out he is going to find a huge list of stuff he will want/need to get. but i still think you should get some quality out of your tools when ever possible even if its not the top of the line stuff. i realy dont think a home shop needs a 12amp 4.5" grinder, if ya have the extra $$ and want to go for it any way thats cool go for it. but if he thinks its heavy, just wait till he turns it on. some thing in the 7-9 amp is more to suit i think. and still plenty of power for a 4.5" grinder.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
Metabo all the way! I wont buy anything else. There the best grinder I've ever used. I burned up the dewalt they gave me at work after a month and switched to using my Metabo. I'm going to get a couple more soon. Flap wheel, grinding wheel, and wire wheel. Mine should have deid a year ago the way I treat it but it works just as good as the day I got it.
I agree with the MIG hater.... Just joking anti-gmaw,. I like the Metabos too, but they do cost more than some others. I have a couple and love them. On the other hand my dad has a couple Black and Decker "proffesional" series models , not the ones from Wal-mart, and they have been around awhile, So my 2 cents is, buy the best you can afford. Somebody else said it but you'll end up with more than one grinder so you'll figure out which one you like best. good luck
Now I rememeber where i left my grinder......in the kitchen......[laughing]Scott

This may get a howl from everyone else but I was in Harbor Freight and a guy from a fab shop across the street was buying 10 HF grinders. He said they (the yellow ones from HF, not the blue ones) last just as long as Makita and other "name" brands. His employees trash them anyway so he stopped spending big money on grinders. I bought 3 (I think they were $18) so I wouldn't have to change wheels. After a year of home welding use, they are still fine.

Do you think that there is a revelation for everyone, a sort of a guideline for (re)designing our lives?
Sometimes, individuals feel that they need some kind of guidelines for continuing with their lives. Several reasons establish an stagnation-like way of living. Maybe you and I were in this situation in any time. It were hard to find a person who really understands our feelings and thoughts about a certain matter. So, we were forced to take crucial decisions by ourselves. But, in some cases, we realized that decisions taken this way were not the ones we should take. Then, we ask to ourselves: "Could we get some kind of revelation in order to feel we are doing 'the right thing' from now on?" What is the nature of this source of revelation? Can we trust this source of revelation? How can we be sure of the value and scope of revelations given? Are revelations only possible inside a theological framework?
Comment deleted
Aug 2 2012: Perfect! You are giving to all of us a true revelation, and I really thank you for that support. Here, the key is how to charge oneself with the vast amount of pain when one knows the decision around will be painful for me and others. Another question here is "reversibility" of actions. One can learn of mistakes as long as the effects provoked by my previous actions have not destroyed the environment which was the object of those mistakes. But if the environment was affected or even destroyed, it is not possible to come back again. Anyway, the virtue of living "in error" is rescued when you were trying to say that living in an "earthly form" is what we have to do. Again, this sounds to me like a real revelation. Thanks again.
John Allyn
Aug 2 2012: I do not assume that all persons are on the same path. Consequently each person needs something diffwerant than the other for taking the next step on their individual path. Our Source gives each what may be needed at any point in time. It just may take a person a while or a life time to notice that perfect gift.

Aug 2 2012: Thanks, John, for your words. Let me ask to you a little question: What do you mean for "Our Source"? Is it something that human beings have? I would like to understand you better. Kind regards.
Rhona Pavis
Aug 3 2012: seek truth/find truth
- +1
Aug 4 2012: I'm still trying to decode your viewpoint. I don't know why your words reminded me of some Buddha's words. Rather, they reminded me of some Buddha's experience. When we was seeking for the Truth, he suddenly found sin, misery, pain and hopelessness. By denying material existence around him, he tried to approach the Truth at no matter which cost. I'm sure he indeed found something very similar to Truth when he progressively was leaving his earthly body. However, this solution was not in the space of material world, but in the space of "living truths". Say, dear Rhona, is it a "valid" experience to seek Truth "here" and find it "out there"? "Valid", in the sense of satisfying a needing here and now, for life is so short and we have to move on! In other sense, is a local truth to say that when someone found a truth it's because she/he was seeking for some true and satisfying. But, in a wide sense, it is not necessarily true, because of, say, a kind of revelation, for instance. This rest as an open question, yes. Thanks for your comment.
Aug 4 2012: seek truth/find truthAug 2 2012: From your experience I think you learn when in a very similar situation to take the aforementioned short cut. When a situation is entirely new, you will need to make judgments again- and maybe once again look back when all is done and see a more straightforward way. That would be the inductive approach.
If you are looking for a deductive approach, which is to say a prior analysis based on theory, how to make the most promising choices depends very much on the decision problem at hand.
Aug 3 2012: Thanks again, Fritzie. I don't understand quite well when you show those approaches for analyzing scenarios close to crossroads, because I think that those scenarios have not enough information for making a flat and precise decision. Indeed, those scenarios are random and even chaotic. Controlling consequences of the decisions about changing them it's something that, theoretically (read chaos and catastrophe theories), can be done. But, in fact, it's almost impossible to have a controlled scenario of this type. Instead, it's probably you the entity under the control of circumstances. This way, it emerges the paradox of who's the actor and who's the object of the action. That is, who's really making the last decision on this chaotic environment and who will be affected (and how) since the execution of those decisions. This is something that was formerly analyzed by some advanced economic theories, as well as by complexity theory. Thanks again for your collaboration.
Aug 3 2012: We make decisions all the time under uncertainty by using the information at hand and considering probabilities and risks. If we could act only in the face of "controlled scenarios," we would be in big trouble.
Still, unless we have others make the decision of course of action for us, we make the decisions ourselves. The consequences follow from our decisions, from the responding and simultaneous acts of ohers, and from factors in the external environment, both endogenous to our decisions (affected by them) and exogenous (coming from the outside).Aug 2 2012: Fortunately, few of the ambiguous decisions we have to make are life or death! I don't say this frivolously. I think it is important.
I find often when we are at a crossroads there are actually several good paths. They may be different, and taking one road may preclude following the other ever, but many times when the decision is difficult it is because either would actually be a course worth trying. Whichever direction one takes at the crossroads, there will be some losses and some gains.
[I have a particular interest (personal and professional) in crossroads. What could be more interesting than what happens at a crossroads?]
Aug 2 2012: Thanks again, Fritzie. One of my favourite fears is what can happen when the road taken leads me to a future event that could be equally attained by some of the rest of roads discarded when I was at the crossroads. Even at a lower cost in pain, time and other resources! During this moment, you realize that maybe the choice taken was not as good as I thought of. So, again, which criteria can show us some guidelines to make "the right thing", not only for today but, more interestingly, for the future? Is it necessary something like a "revelation" for choosing well? For sure, I agree with you that there is no thing more important than what happen at the lifetime's crossroads. Thanks for collaborating with your fine comments.
John Allyn
Aug 2 2012: Each has their own. Mine is the metaphysical domain (religion calls it divinity) from which the physical proceeds. It has two aspects, one is Consciousness {religion call it Spirit} (mind in phusical form) and the other is E-motion {meta physicians call it Will} (feeling in physical from).
- +2
Aug 3 2012: Thanks, John, for your theoretical support. I would wish to know, if you accept it, how this revelation at the life's crossroads are seen from the theological (or metaphysical) viewpoint. I mean, could you say something about how divinity, spirit and will play their role in this hard-to-do decision making at crossroads? Thanks again.Aug 2 2012: There is no immunity from life's difficult times. Even the right path or the right decisions require(s) hardwork, courage.
There are times when one knows, without a doubt, that one way is the way to go. There are times when one just has to decide and boldly face the consequences of the decision.
In difficult times, even prior revelation does not make it an easy feeling.
Aug 2 2012: Thank you, Feyisayo. What you say is a revelation by itself. The sentence "There are times when one just has to decide and boldly face the consequences of the decision" is the kind of higher revelation an angel can show to you when you are living those "hard times". Excellent contribution, my friend. Thanks again.

Aug 2 2012: Hello Ramiro,
- +1
forgive me, but to me this sounds a bit like 'I wan't to swim, but I don't wan't to get wet... '.
Part of life is making mistakes, so you could learn from those to make it better next time. But what do you need a guideline for, but the one already echoing in yourself? If a given life situation, for what ever reason, does not suit you, go change it as soon as possible. There is no guarantee it will become better, but there is a chance in it, that it will. Without a change there is no such chance and that is for sure. So if you follow your inner voice you will see up's and down's in your life, but the good thing is, that the only one you could ever blame is yourself and nobody else. This, to me, is a huge advantage and part of my personal freedom.
Aug 2 2012: Thanks, Jan-Bernd. Your point of view is like fallen from heaven or come from other dimension. I mean, your words are very sound and similar to others said by some existentialist gurus. I have to say, without any risk, that your words sound to me like a true revelation. Maybe reality has nothing to do with "true" or "false", but with chances taken or not. But there is a personal constraint here that prevents to me executing your strategy. I usually take into account the "beauty" or "responsiveness" (say causing minimum or no pain to others) for decisions I will take. And I feel that if I apply some changes "as soon as possible", some people will not understand the movement and might configure a reality other than what I thought of. It's a hard question. I thank you again for your experienced comments.
Lejan .
Aug 2 2012: Causing minimum or no pain to others is honourable of you, but be aware that this doesn't form as an excuse not to change for a better for yourself. Change can be frightened and it is a natural reflex to hide from it if the circumstances aren't worse enough to face it openly. Discontentment can sum up over time and if it summes up slowly, it may become to late for a change because age or the 'inner settlement' or, even worse, resignation took place already.
- +2
What may help not to shock the ones you like to protect is talking with them about what's pressing on your mind. Maybe this way they can also become part of the change and will benefit as well from it if the change turned out well for yourself.
On the long run an ''unfulfilled' or 'unhappy' life may cause more damage to the ones you wish to protect, because a constant unhappiness will effect anybody in a negative way and therfore most likely the interaction to others as well.
So as soon you can identify for yourself what you like to change in your life to make it a better one, talk about it with those people you wish them to be part of your 'new one' as well. Usually this helps to get the 'pressure' of the soul and to keep this energy free for the change itself.
Aug 3 2012: Thanks for your great ideas. You explained it clearly. I will take it into account for improving my decision making processes. You have much experience and you show it in an easy form. Thanks again, Jan-Bernd.
andrew jones
Aug 2 2012: Yes, I think ( or more accurately, feel ) that there are revelations for everyone. I think a part of these revelations is that they are time or event sensative. In other words, the revelation will only come after a certain highly stressfull experience has occurred. What that event is can be unique to each of us, or things we all have in common.
- +1
Examples of things in common include the births or deaths of close relatives and friends. Such massive changes can occur to our lives when these events happen that there is a revelation we feel - a certain knowledge that our own lives are forever altered. All our habits and routines can become irrelevant in an instant - like when a house burns down. And then there's that bone-chilling revelation that, yes, we are just as mortal as everybody else.
Theology does not cause these events, but can help us get through them by showing us the common nature of what to an individual can seem overwhelming, and offering role models and coping strategies that have worked in the past.
All our ancesors were smart people - and they wrote down their most valuable insights on how to live and stay sane through such experiences. The revelation is that we can get back to feeling good after tragedies.
Aug 2 2012: I think you have got the spirit of this debate. Your classification in event or time sensitive revelations is very useful. Besides, you show us when an individual faces a near-to-revelation scenario. In my case, I'm feeling right now the need for taking the best decision about a problem, in which two groups of people are involved. One of these groups will be affected more than the other. So, I think I'm entering the fuzzy space of a near-to-revelation scenario, where moral constraints will, paradoxically, determine that one of these groups will loose less than the other, at least in the short term. But, when I'm tying to see what will happen in a larger term, I feel that the group which looses less at a short term may be the one which will loose more in the large term. So, I think I need a kind of revelation, because I feel I'm not able to take the best decision with all the information I have and all the resources I could invest in the solution of this problem. Thanks, Andrew, for your sound insights.Aug 2 2012: I don't know whether I fully understand what you mean by revelation, but I think many people encounter someone or read something or suddenly think of something that seems to put their lives in better order or on a track.
Often there is no mystical element to this. It is more a matter of coming upon the right idea at the right time for that person to seize upon it.
I wouldn't say most people have a system for always doing the right thing from now on, but many people sort through their priorities and point themselves in the right direction. They may then assume a habit of reflection (scheduled or not) that allows them to adjust that course periodically.
Aug 2 2012: I agree with you in that people assume a habit of reflection for adjusting their course periodically. But (maybe you saw it the other way) I meant what is a person can do when she realizes she is in front of a crossroad, one that could change her life in a transcendental way. Its a decision of a die-or-alive kind. Sometimes, we feel like no matter we do, there will probably be certain unwanted effects derived from a decision which cannot be reversed. Anyway, thanks Fritzie for your interesting comments.Aug 12 2012: Thanks for highlighting some really interesting talks Ramiro.
I prefer the word realisation to revelation unless you mean to involve a belief in a higher power.
If you mean to involve some supernatural agency I have nothing more to add as I see no evidence for any gods, goddesses, divine astrological destinies etc.
I think humans have attributed imaginary agency to life, periods of good luck and bad, from natural spirits, to sickness, to poor crops and drought, where there only nature and luck.
Rare events and coincidences happen. This does not imply supernatural agency. People are always selecting data to reinforce their beliefs. I heard one chap say it was a miracle from that the US senator shot in the head survived. It is pretty uncommon to survive a headshot, but it does happen, no gods needed, and I'm not sure being brain damaged and having several others killed is much of a miracle.
Intuition followed by some solid reasoning seems the best way to me. Intuition on its own has its place in survival situations but often misfires when it comes to making complex decisions or judgments or understanding life the universe and everything. 10 people can have 10 different intuitions about the same situation but there are only one set of facts.
Often we are looking for simple explanations and their aren't, or there are but not the ones we want to hear, like most of us will not have everything, that hard work is required, discipline, balance, that we get old, that we have to work for a living often well beyond our interest in it, that we get sick and die, and that we only get one life and it is not always easy, but there is much good to be found in it.
If you want to believe in magic, that is up to you. The natural universe is amazing enough for me.Aug 3 2012: Consider auto revelation and epochal revelation.
Auto would be self. Epochal would be for a large number of people over a substantial time frame and likely intend huge benefits for mankind.
What you seem to be asking is of the auto revelation type and you seem to be wondering about its origin.
I viewed the nine suggested presentations. All of them directly relate to human relationships, life improvement, sharing for progress, etc. Is it possible the minds of such people were prepared years in advance for sudden new ideas? Is it possible individuals are being watched and unbeknowingly aided? Seems like a reasonable assumption.
Someone recently asked about equality. We are not equally endowed intellectually, but we can desire to serve and to have good ideas. Capability varies, but effects can be astonishing. Someone several weeks ago asked about intuition. Some people call them "heavenly hunches". Would this be a type of auto revelation?
Revelation. A topic worthy of discussion. If not possible, then why not?
Aug 4 2012: Thanks, Mark, for your clever comment. Maybe I have not realized I was talking about that "auto revelation" as you define it. I thought I was talking about a kind of revelation other than this "auto revelation", and maybe different from "epochal revelation". Consider the following case: One friend of me, call him Jack, was waiting for his girlfriend at a corner. Suddenly, another friend Sam passes in front of him, and goes to say hello to Jack. Then, Sam invites Jack to drink a coup of coffee in at a coffee shop nearby. Jack initially refuses Sam's proposal. Then, suddenly, he changes his viewpoint. He doesn't understand why, because he needs to wait for her girlfriend at the corner. Anyway, he has made the decision to take a break. So, he said, "you have 5 minutes to talk with me, 'cause my girl is coming". Seven seconds away from the corner, when they were about to enter the coffee shop, they were looking back at the corner, for a terrible car crash just happened right there: a truck lost their course and it ran over another man who was exactly over the place Jack was waiting for his girlfriend, just seven seconds ago. You may imagine how Jack was feeling in that moment. What happened there? How revelation came to Jack's brain (or heart)? Maybe all of these have to do with "intuition". But it seems to me that this is not exactly the kind of "auto revelation" as we conceived it here. Indeed, revelation is a topic worthy of discussion. Thanks my friend for your contribution.

I have little experience with such incidents or events you describe. However, I heard from other people who describe strange events. Some people refer to these as Providence in that many agencies of God, angels or other beings may be involved in changing situations. (intervention) Sometimes I doubt this.
What Providence is involved for real crashes with loss of life? Where were the angels when an aircraft crashes or a shuttle craft disintegrates in space? Tough questions and difficult for people who want faith, but are befuddled when their preferences are stolen.
My take is this: there are some protection events for some people for some reason. Why? I don't know. There could be an "event" in the mind causing a person to change decisions. What causes a person to take a different flight and be saved because the intended flight crashed without him on board? These kinds of questions are difficult.
Perhaps we'd be wise to attempt a larger perspective. Maybe life here on Earth is just the start and many new learning opportunities await us. Life ended early here may be a loss, but larger learning provisions are available. Is it really a loss to die here early? Survivors miss family and friends, but we who remain are still limited in the flesh, while those who go on are free of material limitations. Perhaps there is a larger plan for each person. Perhaps, if you accept the idea of Providence, there are personalities waiting on high.
Caution here! We ought not to use ideas of such possibilities as an excuse to terminate! Life lessons are many and strong. Robust character of bravery and courage to deal with challenges is better that looking at the easy way out or to escape.
Linked to revelation as you describe? Not sure at all. Life, experiences, possibilities, watch care, relationships----lots of questions for sure.
Aug 11 2012: Thanks, again, for opening a broad viewpoint about "revelations". The key here is, as you said: "there are some protection events for some people for some reason. Why? I don't know. There could be an "event" in the mind causing a person to change decisions. What causes a person to take a different flight and be saved because the intended flight crashed without him on board? These kinds of questions are difficult". Almost everybody have realized that an "imminent" event did not happened at all, against all odds, because of a rare kind of force intervened somehow and provoked a tremendous change, which at once much people don't even imagine it was such a great change that has happened. In other words, an event's "wave function" has not collapsed in a "soft" way, as almost everybody were waiting to happen. This is the kind of cause I was trying to say as a "revelation". Now, what causes this "discrete decaying" of an event's "wave function" is the real question to be solved. Another question linked to that one is: why sometimes there exists a "shift" in an event for taking place in one way and not the other? why do people think this is a matter of chance? So, what is "chance"? Why some people are "lucky" and why the rest of the world look at those people as a little suspicious? It's worth to take a look at this questions some time. Thanks, Mark, for putting the question in this "revealing" form.Aug 12 2012: Ramiro, I don't believe there is anything that happens by chance in this world. Everything happens for a purpose, which usually is to help us, by giving us a head's up, to acknowledge the existence of a spiritual world. Life and living is a spiritual activity, It also shows that Someone is in charge who hopes we make the right decision while using our freewill.
The moment when our body dies is determined based on where we can be most useful, in this life or the next. That is the subject of this talk.
One thing to say is "we are a spirit in a body", but that does not say or explain much. This book does explain what it means to be a spirit in a spiritual (parallel) world.
What happens to us may also be easier explained if we accept the idea that this life, our life, has a purpose, and that the primary purpose is not about comfort or wealth or old age. We are what we love, so most important in our life is what we decide to love. What we make our ruling love.
But I think I have left enough links for now :)Aug 3 2012: A revelation can simply be the correct alignment of knowledge store in the brain. "Let's get those brain sparks firing along more efficient paths!" What causes this alignment may simply be trial and error or it could be providence. The jury is still out on that. The book Quantum Philosophy has a very unique view on this matter.
Aug 4 2012: Thanks, William. That's the way I thought it: A revelation is a kind of "correct alignment of knowledge" in our brains. This alignment depends upon several parameters which are configuring reality near to a crossroad. Well, when we are about to see something happen, it emerges some weird circumstances that results in happening exactly the opposite we were expecting to happen. In cases like these, it seems like "someone" or "something" made the decisions in our behalf. This way, a revelation comes AFTER a difficult situation when it has been solved, and not BEFORE its solution. The great question here is: What was exactly the cause of the "alignment" of circumstances for having rendered the situation as it happened? Can we at least conjecture some properties about this "cause"? Why did it happened this way? I'm not reviewed the "Quantum Philosophy" book. But I think it is a great book, in regard of the world we are living in, which is of a quantum nature as far as it's known by now. Thanks for your comment.

Backstreet Boys continue "In a World Like This" tour
The Backstreet Boys are now full-fledged adults, but don't tell that to the shrieking fans still packing arenas to see the guys who led the boy band boom of the '90s.
That's right – about two decades after their dominating the charts alongside groups like 'N Sync and 98 Degrees, the Backstreet Boys are again captivating audiences and remain the best-selling boy band in history. Of course they've matured well beyond their heyday, when radio-friendly pop ruled the airwaves, and their fans have come along for the ride.
The group's latest album, 2013's "In a World Like This," is a blend of more contemporary pop rock and R&B. Still present are the group's inflected harmonies and a live show that more than proves these guys still got the moves. In fact, they've crisscrossed the globe over the last year in support of the project and still show no signs of slowing down.
Need proof? The guys are in the midst of their second North American run on the World Like This tour now. When it wraps they'll head for their second European run in July. Their tour schedule also includes their very first shows in Israel … three of them, to be exact. The first sold out in 30 minutes, and the second in just five minutes before a third show was added.
After their tour wraps up, the Boys plan to lay low for the rest of the year before returning to the studio in 2015. They've also got a documentary coming out centering on their rise from childhood stars to pop icons.
Backstreet Boys, fans living 'In a World Like This' (Updated August 2, 2013)
Backstreet's Back!
In April 2012, the Backstreet Boys announced that Kevin Richardson has rejoined them permanently. Four months later, they made their very first performance as a reunited five-man group, closing out ABC's Good Morning America concert series. And in a way, it felt like the group had never disbanded.
If you check your calendar, it's certainly not going to take you back a few decades to when the Backstreet Boys really were … boys. Not when their newly released eighth studio album, "In a World Like This" is brand brand new and flying off the shelves. Not when it's the first album featuring all five original members in six years since Richardson left the group. Not when it's their first independent album since leaving Jive Records in 2010.
Truth is, there's so much that has changed about the Backstreet Boys it's not wonder they're back in the national spotlight. The band has taken full creative control of its music, and kicked off what would become a highly successful tour in 2011 with New Kids On The Block. The tour moniker – NKOTBSB – was a marketing gem for both groups, and bringing all five members of Backstreet back together was the proverbial icing on the cake.
The Backstreet Boys came full circle when, in April 2013, they held a 20th anniversary celebration. The group previewed eight new songs during the event, then posted six of them on YouTube the next day. On May 15, the group performed a song from the new album, "Permanent Stain," for the very first time on Good Morning America. A few days later, they embarked on the "In a World Like This" tour, which began in China.
Backstreet Boys Tickets - Band History
The Backstreet Boys formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The band's original members where A.J.. McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, and Kevin Richardson, although Richardson left the group in 2006 to pursue other interests. The band came about because Lou Pearlman placed an ad in a 1992 newspaper annoucing open autidions for a boy band. A.J. was the first member selected, and the remaining members were eventually added to round out their sound. The Backstreet Boys first performance was at Walt Disney World in 1993.
Backstreet Boys - The Music
The band's first recordings were not well received in the United States, but received much attention in Europe and international markets. In fact, the Backstreet Boys did not gain popularity in the United States until the release of their second album, Backstreet's Back, which included the single 'Quit Playing Games With My Heart' reached number two on the charts, and helped the band gain some American footing. Backstreet Boys tickets began to gain popularity as well. The band's next album, Millennium was met with huge success, entering the Billboard charts at number one in 1999.
Backstreet Boys Tickets - Concerts
Although the Backstreet Boys made the decision to take a break from recording, they returned to the studio in 2005, but did not release another album until 2009, entitled This Is Us. Backstreet Boys tickets immediately began selling for their concert in support of the new album. The Backstreet Boys continue to tour, joined by fellow 'boy band' New Kids On The Block.

Should a nurse or any worker be fired if they refuse to get flu shots?
That's what happened in one place. As ABCNews.com reported, "An Indiana hospital has fired eight employees, including at least three veteran nurses, after they refused mandatory flu shots, stirring up controversy over which should come first: employee rights or patient safety. The hospital imposed mandatory vaccines, responding to rising concerns about the spread of influenza. " […] [Read More]

Recipe by Pillsbury® Grands!®
"Everyone loves monkey bread, but this one is for the true cheese lover."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1/3 cup
butter or margarine, melted
3/4 teaspoon
dried dill weed
3/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
2 (10.2 ounce) cans
Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated buttermilk or original biscuits
2 1/2 cups
shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend
Well I was nervous after reading some bad reviews, but I forged ahead. I bought the 16 oz grands which have 8 large biscuits (instead of the 10 oz), so I made adjustments by cutting each biscuit in 6 pieces. I doubled the seasoning amounts though I subbed oregano for the dill.I used about 1/2 cup butter + 2 tablespoons to cover all the rolls. I also tossed the buttered cubes in parmesan. Then I put it all in two layers in a large (approx 9X13) casserole pan with 2 cups mexican blend cheese. Baked perfectly in the rec. time frame. It was a real hit with soup and a tossed green salad. I will defiitely make this again.
I wanted to love this...really I did. It combines three of my favorite things: Bread, herbs, and cheese. What's not to love? Well, for starters, even though we were dipping the dough very lightly in the butter and herb mixture, we ran out after the first can of dough and had to make more for the second can of dough. The baking time was way off as well, leaving completely raw dough in the middle third of the "loaf". I was able to get the monkey bread back into the Bundt pan and returned it to the oven, but by the time the middle was anywhere near cooked, the outside had gotten very crunchy. There wasn't much flavor to this, either, even with the extra butter/herb mixture and I also added extra cheese. I think it might be better if the dough pieces were smaller and perhaps coated in parmesan cheese after being dipped into the butter and herbs.

We LOVE this recipe. I like to serve it with spaghetti, lasagna or homemade soup. It's the best at sopping up leftover drippings in bowls. This works with any kind of spices you have on hand and any kind of cheese. I like to also make this with italian seasoning and parmesan cheese.
After reading reviews of the middle not getting cooked, I decided to make this in a different shape to help with cooking. I cut up a can of 8 biscuits into 4 pieces each. I dipped them in the butter and garlic powder, but used onion powder instead of dill. Then I arranged them in a casserole dish in a single layer to help with the cooking process. Tossed on some cheddar and mozzarella and baked for around 12 - 13 minutes. I then added some shredded Parmesan on top when it came out of the oven. I almost skipped the step of dipping them in butter, but I'm glad I didn't because it REALLY made a difference in the finished product. I took this to a tailgate and it was demolished. I served it with some ranch dressing for dipping but no one touched the dressing - everyone just ate the bread as is. I can definitely see how making it in the traditional shape would lead to uncooked biscuit dough but like this is worked perfectly! I've already been asked to make it again :)
Good stuff. I added thyme, and a little extra butter/cheese.
We liked this one. Quick, adaptable to your tastes and what type of cheese you may have on hand. Also easy to reduce the size. I quartered the recipe and baked in a small casserole dish for 25 minutes.
This tasted so good. The problem I found with baking this however is the biscuits on the top cooked too quickly and were a little harder than I would have liked after about 20 minutes of baking. I had to take them out to check if it was ready, the biscuits on the underlayer were still gooey. I think next time I will not layer any bread and just bake it for less. 5 stars if I wouldn't have had the problem with the cooking time.
This recipe is confusing because the can of original biscuits contains 8, not 5 biscuits. At any rate, I used only 1 can of biscuits, minus 1 which was made into a mini pizza at lunch. Since I was using 7 biscuits, I cut the butter and herbs in half, which was just enough to coat each biscuit piece. I also cut each biscuit into 6 pieces rather than 4 as the directions state because I just prefer smaller pieces. I layered them in a loaf pan. As others stated, the biscuits browned before they were actually done. Since I was thinking this might happen, I set the timer for a shorter time period and covered the pan with a tent of aluminum foil for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. If I were to make this again, I would double the herbs to make for a stronger tasting bread.

A video tape smuggled out of the United Arab Emirates shows a member of the country's royal family mercilessly torturing a man with whips, electric cattle prods and wooden planks with protruding nails.
A man in a UAE police uniform is seen on the tape tying the victim's arms and legs, and later holding him down as the Sheikh pours salt on the man's wounds and then drives over him with his Mercedes SUV.
In a statement to ABC News, the UAE Ministry of the Interior said it had reviewed the tape and acknowledged the involvement of Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, brother of the country's crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed.
"The incidents depicted in the video tapes were not part of a pattern of behavior," the Interior Ministry's statement declared.
The Minister of the Interior is also one of Sheikh Issa's brother.
The government statement said its review found "all rules, policies and procedures were followed correctly by the Police Department."
"If this is their complete reply, then sadly it's a scam and it's a sham," said Sarah Leah Whitson of Human Rights Watch.
"It is the state that is torturing them," she said, "if the government does not investigate and prosecute these officers, and those commanding those officers."
The 45-minute long tape was smuggled out of the country by Bassam Nabulsi, of Houston, Texas, a former business associate of Sheikh Issa.
Nabulsi is now suing the Sheikh in federal court in Houston, alleging he also was tortured by UAE police when he refused to turn over the videos to the Sheikh following their falling out.
"They were my security, really, to make my case that this man is capable of doing what I say he can do," said Nabulsi in an interview to be broadcast Wednesday on the ABC News program Nightline.
Nabulsi says the video tapes were recorded by his brother, on orders from the Sheikh who liked to watch the torture sessions later in his royal palace.
The Sheikh begins by stuffing sand down the man's mouth, as the police officers restrains the victim.
Then he fires bullets from an automatic rifle around him as the man howls incomprehensibly.
At another point on the tape, the Sheikh can be seen telling the cameraman to come closer.
"Get closer. Get closer. Get closer. Let his suffering show," the Sheikh says.
Over the course of the tape, Sheikh Issa acts in an increasingly sadistic manner.
He uses an electric cattle prod against the man's testicles and inserts it in his anus.
At another point, as the man wails in pain, the Sheikh pours lighter fluid on the man's testicles and sets them aflame.
Then the tape shows the Sheikh sorting through some wooden planks. "I remember there was one that had a nail in it," he says on the tape.
The Sheikh then pulls down the pants of the victim and repeatedly strikes him with board and its protruding nail. At one point, he puts the nail next to the man's buttocks and bangs it through the flesh.
"Where's the salt," asks the Sheikh as he pours a large container of salt on to the man's bleeding wounds.
The victim pleads for mercy, to no avail.
The final scene on the tape shows the Sheikh positioning his victim on the desert sand and then driving over him repeatedly. A sound of breaking bones can be heard on the tape.
Sheikh Issa's lawyer, Daryl Bristow of Baker Botts in Houston, told ABC News "the tape is the tape."

It's the grand prix that feels like an MG Owner's Club race weekend. The Korean GP has very few spectators, while team members know everyone in the paddock. The atmosphere is like Mallory Park (with the buildings of an industrial park) because the paddock in Korea is made up almost entirely of the regular F1 circus. There are few celebs and corporate guests who make it out to the far flung Yeongam, which is scandalously little used. There is a whole separate pit complex for the support races and in 2013 there will be one support race.
It's fair to say that South Korea hasn't embraced F1 and this could very well be the last GP for a while. The contract is up for negotiation and organisers have been given a provisional spring date for 2014 on the F1 calendar, which is like being handed a grenade with the pin out. India is skipping its race in 2014 because it wants to move the grand prix from autumn to spring and couldn't sell tickets for a 2014 event that would have been only 6-7 months after the last GP. And they have some spectators in the first place - imagine how few would turn up in Korea if it goes ahead next spring.
The circuit is still quite new and very green, and there is a high degree of evolution over a race weekend which throws one variable into the mix as grip steadily increases. There can also be quite a range of temperatures, which is another variable that engineers have to allow for, and lastly the track is a mixture of high-speed thrash (Sector 1) followed by some medium and low-speed corners with the end of the lap emulating a street circuit. So teams have to make a number of compromises between low-drag set-up and the high downforce needed to finish the lap off.
Part of the set-up will involve making sure that the car's gear ratios are correct - quite a few times this year we've seen cars unable to use the DRS properly because their engines are up against the rev limiter on the straights and they can't get past the Toro Rosso in front. Teams have to set their gear ratios on Friday and on Friday the track won't be anything like it is on Sunday afternoon.
It would be nice to think all this uncertainty and guestimation might turn up an unfamiliar winner of the race, someone who doesn't celebrate with the use of their index finger, but it's unlikely. Apart from winning the last two races in Yeongam, Vettel has led all but 12 laps in the history of the Korean Grand Prix, that's a staggering 93%.
When it comes to tyres, it's the same selection as we had in Singapore, the Mediums and the SuperSofts, but the Mediums are likely to be put to more use this time round. "We would expect there to be a significant difference in lap time between the two compounds we have selected as was the case in Singapore," predicts Pirelli's Paul Hembery (at last with a 2014 FIA contract tucked firmly in his pocket). "That should help the teams to put together some interesting strategies."
"Korea has the highest lateral energy demand of all the circuits where the SuperSoft is used, so tyre management is going to be important once more. In particular, the work done in free practice when it comes to assessing the wear and degradation levels on each compound with different fuel loads is going to be especially important. Although there is a lower probability of a safety car [than Singapore] in Korea, this is still something that the teams will be paying a lot of attention to."
So Lotus may still have the opportunity to run longer and break what has been a three-team stranglehold on podium positions. Only Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari have scored podiums in Korea. Both Lotus and Mercedes could gatecrash the party at Yeongam.
On the subject of Safety Cars, it's been deployed in two of the three Korean Grands Prix so far (2010 and 2011) and there have been a total of six deployments over two races. In fact the Safety Car running in 2010 meant that the race was almost dark by the time it finished. In Singapore, the timing of the Safety Car caught Mercedes out, and it'll be interesting to see if the team - who brought neither car in last time - will split their strategy this time round should it happen.
With Lotus dropping back it is now a two-horse race for second place in the Constructors' Championship between Mercedes and Ferrari and whereas Ferrari have performed above their car in the last two races, Mercedes have underperformed.
Korea is one of the few anti-clockwise tracks and there is just something about anti-clockwise that Felipe Massa likes - Brazil, apart from being his home race, is anti-clockwise and he wins there - Turkey, his first GP win, is anti-clockwise - Austin, where he outqualified Fernando Alonso last year, is anti-clockwise. Last race he said he was out for himself, not the team, but after Fernando's stunning start he was not obliged to put that statement to the test. We could find out the true situation in Korea.
Alonso's taxi ride home at Marina Bay was Mark Webber and after starting last year from pole, Webbo knows that whatever he does, he's going to be starting from ten places further back thanks to his totting up grid penalty. Not surprisingly for someone who's taken pole before he likes the layout. "The atmosphere at the track isn't great because there aren't many spectators, but the track's got some challenging sections and some good corners. The last sector in particular is fun because it has a nice flow to it and the walls are pretty close, so you have to be very accurate with your line. Something that's unique about this race is that the drivers all stay in the same hotel. Meal times can be a bit bizarre because everyone sits by nationality and we like to have a good look at what everyone else is eating for breakfast."
Presumably it's only Kimi who has the full Korean.
Andrew Davies

I need to tig some hastelloy C-276 at work. We have a syncrowave 250. I have to weld a 4" pipe 1/8" wall to a 1" slip flange and a 3/8 blank on the other end.
I'm good on stainless and ok on aluminum. From what I've read it welds kind of like a combination of both. I also need to weld some 316 angles for legs on it. I was going to order a pound of 3/32 C-276 filler. Anybody ever weld this stuff? Any suggestions on settings and techniques?

I've welded Hastelloy. It's nothing like aluminium at all. I'd say if anything it runs more like Inconel.
One huge word of caution: take your time, do not rush. You want to do the absolute best job you know how to do. Hastelloy is extremely hard. I can't remember the exact Rockwell numbers but it's way up there. If you leave a repair it will be a very difficult job grinding out. If you choose to gouge out any repair you might leave, make sure you gouge it as smoothly and cleanly as you can as the gouging slag is also extremely hard.

My son did a good bit of welding on Inconel and some with Hastelloy. He said they behave somewhat like stainless, but sluggish. The Inconel could get a bit crusty and the Hastelly more so. So maybe that's where the mention of Aluminum comes in. Sort of a skin or oxide crud layer you have to poke through.
Check out this link... I've never welded Inconel or Hastelloy (that I know of) but from the folks I work around, they say it's not much different than Stainless, just a little bit more "gummy".
