Commonweal Magazine
Trending Topics:
I should have been the ideal viewer for Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, if its enthusiasts are right in calling it a "romantic love letter to Paris" (David Denby). I had been writing this love letter in my heart years before I visited the City of Light. When I was a kid, it was the seventeenth-century Paris of The Three Musketeers that I dreamed of. Later the nineteenth-century comédie humaine of Balzac and the belle époque of Apollinaire and Proust so occupied my fantasy life that when I actually arrived in the city I resented the traffic and the cell phones. Midnight's hero, a young Hollywood scriptwriter named Gil Pender, besotted with the movable feast days of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, experiences exactly what I longed for: a time-trip back to the 1920s where he meets Hem, Scotty, Pablo, Gertrude, the whole crew. Shuttling back and forth between his nocturnal bliss and the daylight capitol where he must put up with a kvetching fiancée and her dreary, reactionary parents, Gil must decide whether it's really worthwhile to hang on to the present when the past holds all the magic he needs, plus good advice about writing from Gertrude Stein and romantic opportunities with the former mistress of Modigliani.
Yes, Gil's fantasy was my fantasy, yet the movie...

At least 26 Fortune 500 companies including GE and Duke Energy paid no U.S. federal income taxes during 2008-11, in part because of the break for accelerated depreciation, according to Citizens for Tax Justice. "These big, profitable corporations are continuing to shift their tax burden onto average Americans," says the group's director. "This isn't fair to the rest of us."
At least 26 Fortune 500 companies including GE and Duke Energy paid no U.S. federal income taxes...
Comments (20)
I agree, create more job's here. Still, with all the bull they want you too believe! GE still advertising about creating job here, what a lie. For evey job here they create 1000 out of the country. The head of GE is head of the Presidents counsel on job creation? what f'n insult to American tax payers.
The rationale behind the accelerated depreciation was the increased writeoff would encourage additional capital investment both through a faster return of the investment and encouraging more investment by lowering the breakeven point for riskier investments. Did it work? A study of whether the goals were met would be better than just crying 'unfair, unfair'. What bothers me is how these companies avoided the alternative minimum tax. The democrats assured us that would bring tax fairness when they passed it. I guess they put a few clauses in it so their friends wouldn't be hit.
Many of these companies are sitting on even larger cash piles. Of course they might argue that continued uncertainty requires them to hold onto cash in the event that the economy deteriorates further.
More capitalism bashing for the ill informed and envious. I wonder who has the world's highest tax rates?
Er, you forgot to mention this part of your linked story...
Tack. That's the problem with you boomers, you've left this rotting legacy that permeates of always wanting something for nothing. Wake up call- you can't smother yourself with the red carpet entitlement treatment without first paying for it. Heaven knows your children and their children will be paying for decades to come.
Not that I don't trust a firm named "Citizens for Tax Justice", but I decided to look at their report, and then in 5 minutes decided to look at one of their companies. I picked Duke Energy, for no particular reason, except I considered them a potentially "capital intensive" company and figured they may have had some heavy depreciation write-off's.
2008 - $616 million
2009 - $758 million
2010 - $890 million
2011 - $752 million
Oh, I could contain myself....I went back to look at their list and noticed alot of power/energy companies, so I decided to check another. American Electric Power.
Thanks for injecting your dose of reality, WMARKW. I keep reminding myself not to bother reading these bait-the-liberals columns, but your response of facts in answer to the rhetoric made this one worth while. Facts are always the best response to rhetoric, as the Left seizes on the tax RATE rather than actual taxes paid. Bravo.
And regardles of any offsets on the tax books, the tax liability generated per the income statement is the place to start. If there were items that adjusted the tax liability, they would have come from things like accelerated depreciation, depreciation, prior year tax losses, special credits, etc. But every available credit $ would have to match against the income tax liability.

Hi "Odin"!
First of all, great looking theme! Congrats!
My question is, is there a way to add a custom header image for each page?
I tried to create a custom field, and adding the value of an image url. But .. I don't know how to insert the custom field into the code! I'm not that of a programming expert :D
I hope you can help me on this!

My furbaby's name is Truman. He's a 9-year-old puggle. We've been hiking with this group for almost a year and-a-half. I'm becoming addicted to these hikes!!
I live in St. Louis city and my sister was the one that introduced me to the group.
I always say I rescued Truman but, in fact, he was originally my niece's puppy. She realized that having a dog was as much work as having a baby and she didn't have time for him. Well, I sure do!
Now that I've joined this group Truman and I go for long walks at least once a week, usually two.
No answer yet
I love dogs. I actually love animals in general. Anything I can do that includes outdoor activity and my furbaby I'm game for. I went on your walk in Queeny Park yesterday with my sister, Charleen. I had such a good time I'd like to be a member.
I am so glad I joined this group. I am meeting some very nice people.

CLERMONT - Officials at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest always felt the opportunity was bearly possible.
Rangers investigated claw tracks and took reports on a number of missing picnic baskets before receiving photographic proof that a black bear was in the forest last week.
When you see the clerks in the Circuit Clerk's office, there are many things you may not know about them.
There are 19 full-time clerks in an office which, per the state's own statistics, requires 25 full-time clerks. 16 of these clerks process all of the paperwork in the court system. 3 of the clerks work in the driver's license division.
Clerks in the District, Circuit and Juvenile divisions are the takers, not the makers. Clerks can only process documents received.
We will look back 25, 50, 75, and 99 years to capture glimpses of what was happening in Bullitt County in each of these years. Today we will focus on the month of July.
1991 - 25 Years Ago
FRANKFORT – The Kentucky Distillers' Association (KDA) has honored state Rep. Linda Belcher with its prestigious "100 Proof Award" for her leadership in passing landmark tourism legislation that will elevate and transform the KDA's Kentucky Bourbon Trail® adventures.
Pinch us to make sure it is really true.
For the first time in over a year, it looks like the Southeast Bullitt Fire and Rescue Department and the Southeast Bullitt Fire Protection District Board might actually be looking to settle their differences.
I know... we've been here before.
About 15 months ago, it appeared the two boards would be working toward a mutally-agreeable resolution.
By January 2017, the two entities would become one. And you know what happened then.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – The baseball All-Star game was just last week, the Fourth of July is still a vivid memory and summer has officially been with us for less than a month.
The not so tactfully named 'dead period' is well...dead and gone for another summer.
Yet fall starts next Friday.
The Old Shepherdsville Pioneers Cemetery is located on West Plum Street between 1st and 2nd streets in Shepherdsville, Kentucky.
The Cemetery is located near the Salt River. The Cemetery has been through several floods.
There were about 300 graves found in the Cemetery, but only a little over 100 marked graves were read.
We have often drive by Renfro Valley on our way to the Smoky Mountains. "The Valley" is only about two hours away from Shepherdsville.
This summer after stumbling upon www.renfrovalley.com we decided to make "The Valley" and Berea a weekend summer get-away, and are we glad that we did!
This area may just be one of the most overlooked destinations in Kentucky. It offers some great shopping, handmade artisan crafts, delicious eating, and great family shows.

Villamarina Club Hotel Reviews

a great value all inclusive family resort
A M Butler, dublin
This was a great hotel for my family. The staff went out of their way to look after us. There was 10 of us and on our first night in the Restaurant they noticed we werent all sitting together because of the size of our group and they arranged for a table to be reserved for us for the duration of our stay so we always had our meals sitting together. The food was beautiful and the hotel was very clean. The entertainment was also great. The only downside I could find was the apartments were too far away from the hotel facilities but because I enjoyed myself so much I could live with that and I would definitely return.
The best thing about my stay was ...
Both the staff and the food

Great holiday
ashleigh, Tyne and wear
Enjoyed the whole holiday. Staff kept the guest entertained when it rained. A bit loud but outside needed to hear to. Quizzes and bingo on. Room 209 above the restaurant very roomy compared to other guests rooms. The food was first class. Got a bit sick near the end of a full English so had toast or cereal. Life guards really good and interact with guests and even try to get them to swim. Went out for football to the Montreal pub ran by Kenny. Super friendly guy and suggest you go if want a break out the hotel (walk straight down after turning left out of the hotel) please don't go thinking it's higher than a 3 star as it's rated correctly. Over all a good holiday and will be back! Oh probably would recommend for adults only unless you head up to the roof terrace as it's quite loud around the pool at times. Oh the walk to the beach is 15 mins with a slow walker.
The best thing about my stay was ...
The whole hotel was good experience

Good hotel, brilliant staff, few minor niggles!
Laura, Manchester
We have just returned from a five night stay at the Villamarina Club Hotel (2 adults, 2 kids - 11 & 13). We arrived after the bar had shut and the hotel had laid out a cold tea for us all which we thought was really nice and completely unexpected. Throughout our stay the staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough to help. Food was varied and even our fussy 13 year old found something to eat every day! The queues were sometimes a bit excessive but as it was peak season, we weren't wholly surprised! Niggles wise - the room was pretty small for four of us but it was ok for our needs. Any longer than 5 days and we would have started with a bit of cabin fever! The pools were ok but RAMMED with kids constantly and no inflatables were allowed so that was quite frustrating. Entertainment was pretty good during the day for adults but the kids was aimed at much younger kids and it didn't cater too well for teenagers. Would totally recommend this hotel to families with younger kids - they would have a lovely time!!

Good friendly hotel, ideal for families with young children
Steve G, Scotland
We arrived to find there was a problem with the apartment we had booked. We were told that we were being provided with two rooms in the main hotel for the night and it would be our choice whether we stayed in them or moved to the apartment the next day, we were also given free tickets to the water park, a free safe and the Spanish tourist arrival visas paid for us. The reception staff couldn't do enough for us, they were excellent. The food was good all week and there was plenty of choice for all ages. The entertainment staff were spot on and got everybody involved. The only thing we didn't like was people smoking on the sun loungers with kids running around. This hotel is excellent for families with children and they can't do enough for you, the rooms are a bit tired but ok for the length of time spent in them. All in all an enjoyable visit

I loved this place it was amazing there was no faults and amazing for the kids , also different selection of foods every night and the entertainment the reps give is unbelievable for both kids and adults , I would highly compliment the staff but I have to say mark the life guard was 100% for the kids and adults showing the kids how to dive and swim having races and then helping a woman who was in a wheelchair encouraging her and helping her into the pool highly respected. As it was something he done and no one else.

Our first stay in Spain
Dave, Worcester, Uk
I must confess I did not know what to expect when I we booked, however from the moment we arrived I enjoyed every minute of it!! The staff were very friendly and the choice of food was excellent. The beach is only about 10 minute walk away and if you fancy a trip into Barcelona for the day the train station at Salou takes you right into the heart of Barcelona which was amazing! Portaventura theme park is only a short taxi ride away which has the tallest rollercoaster in Europe!. All I can say it was a truly amazing holiday and I will definately be going back soon.

We arrived on 1st Aug and left 8th. We had a lovely holiday and our children just loved the entertainment. The rooms are small but spotless. We weren't happy with our first room as there were bunk beds for the kids and my little boy is a sleep walker! Monica sorted us out with a new room the very next day without issue :) I would recommend this hotel to anybody

great family hotel
scott hunter, dunfermline
we stayed as a family of myself and partner, her two adult children plus one partner and three children aged 7,3 and an infant. I found the food to be really good for an all inclusive, there was a good variety and for the most part it was hot. the staff were great especially monica who was really friendly and very helpfull when it came to trying to check in for our return flight. the drinks were standard all inclusive fare which is just what you would expect. the location of the hotel was fine, nice and close to the airport and not too much of a walk to the resort itself. a lovely little rooftop terrace to give you a break from the kids when required. the entertainment was fine the staff seemed to look after the little one quite well and always had a film show at night for them. overall all the staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were a bit dated as was most of the hotel but it was clean and for the price and location I don't think you could complain, the only real complaint that I would have is the lifeguards or lack of them, the time that we spent by the main pool we hardly ever saw a lifeguard on duty and when we did their view seemed to be obstructed due to the position of their post so if you have little ones or non swimmers with you then you really need to be vigilant

Dead Space Extraction (Wii) - 18 reviews
Dead Space Extraction Wii Review.
You might remember Dead Space from other popular gaming systems like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. To the best of my knowledge it was available on the PC too. So if you are new to the Dead Space gaming family you will be getting a light gun first person shooter. This is just your same old shooter, it embraces a grim and awesome cast of characters. Don't forget it actually packs a horror story too. Don't worry it won't scare you that much.
This game will start in the colony of Aegis VII which is uncovered by a strange marker. So the planter is in all kinds of disarray, a small team is working to find sanctuary in USG Ishimura. Their mission is to excavate the marker. Well guest what your ship dies and you are going to have one fun exciting massacre on your hands. Without ruining the story I can say that you can only imagine the type of fun you can have with a broken down ship and lots of ammo.
So don't worry if you have never played a Dead Space game before, this game will hold your attention until the very end. You also never know who is going to die, and who knows it could even be you that dies. All you know is that you are in some real hot water, and you will be able to follow an epic storyline that is packed with loads of suspense and drama.
This game is packed with twenty weapons in all. It comes with a pretty basic weapon upgrade gameplay that will have you wanting to max out your guns to their limits. I still haven't maxed mine out yet in all the time iv been playing it. Stasis is included and vital and relies on an auto-refill system. You will be able to fire at enemies and even freeze them for up to ten seconds. Telekinesis is also a massive part to Dead Space. Don't get me started about the gravity gun which had to be inspired by Half Life. There are a ton of little mini challenges to which give this game a real authentic feel as well.
I have noticed that the difficulty isn't nearly as challenging as it could be, I would highly encourage that you max out the difficulty level if you are like me and like to be challenged. But, there is never a dull moment as necromorphs will be coming at you from nearly every angle. Challenge mode is also another addition and you will be mastering weapons rather than killing. It is probably the best light gun game available on the Wii next to Metroid Prime.
Star Wars The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels could have easily been the perfect Wii game. Well, for starters, it has the perfect recipe for success: lightsabers, futuristic weapons battle out against Separatist droids, and Sith lords, among others.
The events of Lightsaber Duels were from both the Clone Wars CG animated movie, and the animated series. You are placed in between Episodes II and III, Anakin has yet to be tempted. The Jedi Order has given him his own apprentice, young Padawan Ahsoka Tano, and Obi Wan Kenobi enjoys watching Anakin struggle to become a student to teacher in a short time. Together, you will uncover a plan of the Separatists to kidnap Jabba the Hutt's son. Jabba, a crime lord, is supposed to side with the Jedi in the Clone wars to restore peace and prosperity to the galaxy but the arthropod General Grievous, Sith Lord Count Dooku and his apprentice Asajj Ventress stood in the way.
Lightsaber Duels holds true to many of the standard tenets of fighting games. The best two out of three format has been utilized and improved upon so that cut scenes can play around without any signs of slowing down. You will often come in close contact with your enemy via lightsabers, and the camera will quickly zoom in to show the action. The collaboration of LucasArts and Lucasfil Animation has produced magnificent work.
Problems start kicking once you are in the actual game play. The player will be forced to awkwardly flick the Wii remote from side to side to land the desired attack. Powerful as the lighsaber is, you might not feel the Force coming to you in achieving glory. The Wii's still limited motion control system hampers the epicness of this game.
Star Wars The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels may be proficient and accurate in terms of technicality, but it still depends on how the user perceives it. The production value of this game is targeted for mature and Star Wars fans, but I feel only the younger audience will appreciate it. I didn't really enjoy this game and wish I could have taken it back.

Cursed Mountain (Wii) - 18 reviews
Cursed Mountain is a great horror adventure. The designer did a great job on the details of the backgrounds and the enemies. The visual are peach and you will really feel frosty and chilly every time you come across the different levels. The story also includes the Buddhist rituals and memories. Through its background, you will really feel that you are in the cold mountains of the Himalayas not that iv been there, my impression of what it would feel like.
Cursed Mountain is a slow-paced survival horror game. This game is for those who want to enjoy the graphics and learn the story of the Tibetan people and their rituals. You will play as Eric Simmons in search of his lost brother Frank, while exploring one of the mountains of the Himalayas, the Chomolonzo. The mountain goddess is not happy with the unwelcome visit, what did I do? Your journey will include investigation of Buddhist temples and Sherpa villages in search for artifacts and clues and learn how was Frank's climb, his attitude towards the people and their culture.
Your climb becomes spookier when you collect notes from villagers and monks, these are actual rituals and traditions depicted from a realm known as Bardo. Realistically done that it depicts what you would see if you climb the Himalayas like the tents, and the flags swaying in the cold icy wind. You will be excited on the stealing of ghosts' mantras and measuring mountain walls, checking doors, and using your remote as a walkie-talkie to ask someone to guide you to get out of a maze. You will collect oxygen to be able to continue with the journey or else you will be depleted with oxygen because of the altitude.
The controls are great in some part that it also uses different movements to form a combo to defeat your enemies but sometimes it doesn't work well especially in a fast battle. The controls become sluggish at times. Each gesture or movement represents a symbolic ritual for the Himalayans. You will collect relics to add to your collection and do damage to attackers. You can also see trough the Bardo for clues but this makes the screen hazy.
The audio is also great. The swooshing of air, Eric's heavy breath will cause you to shiver which make this game cool and eerie. The actions are sometimes repetitive in boss battles though they throw different attacks on you, you will do the same attacks over and over again. Cursed Mountain would be the greatest horror adventure only if the control issue has been diagnosed properly.
In this game pack there are a wide variety of games that will definitely excite you. The game features a certain number of modes that can enable you to play in many ways depending on the size of your party and the duration of the gameplay. However, whichever mode you choose on the game, you will certainly enjoy.
Wii Party consists of more than 80 mini games along with the different modes that come with it. Some of the minigames involved may include a Mario Party-style board game which is set in fast forward for you to finish the game in no time. You can also run across strategy games that can be very challenging. Others are Bingo games, Wheel of Fortune type games, matching games, card games and a whole lot more. All of which have different modes where you can adjust the difficulty for a more challenging gaming experience.
Wii Party is not just an individual's game but can also be a multiplayer game. There are a lot of multiplayer games that you and your friends can enjoy. From cart racing from a mounting down a slope to chopping vegetables with a given time limit. Also, your crowd can enjoy a game of passing. This game includes passing the remote around the players and treating it as a bomb and waiting for the clock to stop as you hold on to a button to avoid the time from stopping.
Wii Party is pretty much designed for the whole family to enjoy. The minigames on this game have all been well developed in a way that you and your friends and family can bond as well as can compete with each other. Since each game does not take too much time to finish, each visual and audio detail of the minigames have been given extra effort for a better fun and laughter experience with your friends and family.

New Carnival Games (Wii) - 18 reviews
This is more of a minigame than a game, with so many flaws and cost quite a lot for its kind. The game has twenty five different games within it and some other unlockable games in it as well. The game as well has many other bad things in it. Talk of the boring graphics and most of the games are either too short or suffer control problems. The game is principally full of problems. These games are Carnival games.
Here Carnivals roar and yell at the would-be suckers trying to get them to win a prize that will cost a few dollars. The game costs $40 which is way too much for such like games, as much as they are many in one, they are not fun. You will encounter games that are too easy or some that are too broken to be real. When you win in the game, you are rewarded with some virtual toys.
This is a classic carnie scam, just to get your money. The games range from skeeball, knocking over milk containers to target shooting. All the games use the Wii control. The common and major problem with all these games is that after a few minutes into the game you get bored, there is no fun in playing the games. Some of these games are so easy such that you have to be daft to fail them. At the same time some of the games like the Football toss do not feel right at all, the controls feel quite dodgy and you cannot have a consistent play using them. Other games do not have a strategy at all like the Lucky cups; you will rely on fate so as to win this game.
There are a few games that you can play a number of times but they are quite few. The prize you get for completing the games are some ridiculous animals and jewelry that comes in all sizes; large medium or large varieties. These prizes can be used to play some stupid side-games like a fortune teller, and love tester. The uniqueness of these runs out so fast almost immediately.
Everything about Carnival Games feels dull, from the presentation, the game to the soundtracks. Maybe the producers were on a tight budget but whichever the case, the game looks quite awful. When you create some limbless people, I bet the game was inspired by Miis or the producers expected the game to use them. Customization is quite limited here and the people you make loo stoned. You can give the people hats, funny shoes and some other trivial items to try to make them look weird. All in all, it beat anyone's understanding why such a game should cost such an amount, with all the setbacks and little to offer the player.

Sonic Colors (Wii) - 18 reviews
Sonic Colors Wii edition might well be SEGA's redemption yet as it proves once again the embodiment of SEGA excellence in this final offering for 2010. Although not quite flawless, Sonic Colors offers more than enough excitement rather than disappointments in this new adventure, with great looks, flashy abilities and breezy action, making this entry much more creditable compared to other offerings in an occasionally wobbly franchise. Saving the best for last, SEGA ultimately came up with a Sonic that's as vivaciously modern and fun as it can get.
Sonic Colors starts at a peculiar place created by Dr. Eggman Robotnik where the Wisp's planet is trapped and its power-granting alien creatures are held captive by the evil doctor. The astonishing beauty of Sonic Colors appears to be a fantastically wacky combination of Super Mario Galaxy, Captain Eo, and Tron, which incorporates all the Sonic indispensable essentials, from the casino to the grassy meadows of the Wisps' home planet. Among my personal preferences that many of my mates likewise find fabulous are the Starlight Carnival where you can witness the endearing blue hedgehog zip through space on an energy road and the Sweet Mountain scene from which you get a glimpse of Sonic racing trenches of popcorn flanking huge mounds of cake. Sonic Colors is undoubtedly the most excellent graphics on Wii in 2010, with its outstanding lighting and marvelous animation.
The gameplay itself is a pleasant surprise; already, the remarkably crafted smart and precise controls are astounding, but the presence of the wisps adds another dimension to the game where each wisp color corresponds to a certain power that Sonic can use. There are 8 colored wisps which give Sonic the extra quirks to some of its fascinating basic moves and abilities.
The addition of the new features in the gameplay is anything but lackluster and can absolutely test the capability of a diehard Sonic fan with unexpected twists and turns as you continue to explore the game that comes with amazing design and intricacies of the most intriguing puzzle concept ever. Sonic Colors definitely challenges your prowess through numerous paths, which you can only explore every time you secure a new Wisp that grants you a specific power.
The creators of the game made a near perfect work of blending the new and the old aspects of platforming that Sonic games are famous for. It provides a fresh and distinct flavor into the game as the players experience the evolution of the game in the last twenty years of its inception.
However, as colorful and wonderful as it gets, the game has its loopholes. There are certain parts of the game that are ridiculously too-easy and illogical they take the challenge out of the game. These areas are so downright dreary it even made me toss my Wii Remote and nunchuk from sheer disappointment. Worse, there's no other way to go around it but finish each stage of every world to make headway in the game. These parts with underhanded design seem like death-generators and are the main problems in Sonic Colors. The lack of warp pipes and alternate paths to create a fast traveling game necessitates following the long routes; a monotonous approach that plainly kills the fun in the game. Towards to the end of the game, checkpoints could not be located, making me waste a good three minutes stuck on the same level, throwing life after life and doing the same maneuver over and over.
Despite the few flaws that spoil an otherwise totally splendid gaming experience, Sonic Colors still ends up quite an awesome experience overall. This is one game that Sonic fans and Wii owners shouldn't miss grabbing. As an indicator of future offerings from SEGA, Sonic Colors undoubtedly delivers a taste of forthcoming treats.

Big Beach Sports (Wii) - 18 reviews
Big Beach Sports is the first attempt of THQ as a third-party publisher in the ever-increasing competition for sports compilations in the industry, brought by the huge success of Wii sports. The game is basically a compilation of six different seaside games that includes American football, volleyball, soccer, disc golf, cricket and boules. The games are basically designed to create a buzz and appeal to the Wii players with varied approaches to enjoyment, despite its lack of depth and challenging reward system.
The game's appealing aspect begins with the controller of the Wii. The motion sensing abilities of the remote controller is the main element that provides players with the experience of real-feel when playing the game. The controller depicts the right movement in playing the game such as aiming for the hole in golf or executing a spike in volleyball.
Some of the games were given a little twist to add more fun, like disc golf which is actually golf played with a Frisbee. The players are challenged to make the right throws or moves toward the holes with different types of discs while also trying to evade trees and water. Boules is a French outdoor game very similar to the popular and classic bowling. American Football is a two-on-two, beachside variation of the football we are familiar with. Only the game of soccer is the most unlikely and unsuitable game for the motion sensing capabilities of the controller. Movement is kind of awkward even for the motion sensitive Remote, and with a terrible AI and lack of team members; this component is simply awful and boring!
The games are also built with options to play in tournaments or short events. Although the games offer pleasant diversion, the delight and hilarity is very much short-lived due to lack of depth and meager rewards. Some games like volleyball and boules are very easy to master; so easy in fact, that after a few rounds, my mates and I are consistently winning all the tournaments in the game.
The game also has option that allows you to create your own character by infusing your own style right on the main screen – you can choose a name and clothing. However, the customization option is kind of restricted and not that extensive, so don't expect to customize your own face in the game.
Being THQ's first crack at WIi sports, the budget constraint affected the scoring aspect of the game. You won't see any tabulation or records of the scores you made. You may see the scores listed when you create a user profile but you cannot even compare it with other players' scores on the same screen.
Despite the budget constraints and limited resources, Big Beach Sports is still worth checking, if only for the novelty of disc (Frisbee) golf. The wholesome selection of sports at budget price certainly has its merits. It is worthy of anyone's time and players are bound to fall in love with the simplistic view of the overall presentation that provides fun-filled experience and keeps you and your mates momentarily occupied for short periods. If you're up to it, you can even turn Big Beach Sports into a daily group exercise!

Def jam Rapstar (Wii) - 18 reviews
For quite some time people have gathered in front of their television sets with microphones in their hands trying to sing along to a tune. In recent years, not only are there karaoke machines where you can see the words, there are also game consoles like the Nintendo Wii, to further try your luck at singing. More often than not, the karaoke games familiar to us involve only popular songs that we can actually sing and get the tune right away. Such is the game Karaoke Revolution from Nintendo Wii, which features an array of familiar songs. But mostly, these games do not cover songs of the Rap genre which are quite difficult to sing in karaoke.
Then here comes Def Jam Rapstar to fulfil the compulsion to provide fans of the Rap music scene to finally test their prowess with their favorite tunes. The game does offer a wide array of music choices and has a lyric tracking function that's definitely a big help to enunciate the right words. However, the game doesn't have the features of other karaoke games like video recording and community-sharing which leaves Def Jam Rapstar a straightforward karaoke game.
Added to the many contributing factors that leave you a sense of too many flaws are the faulty displays and unpromising song choices. Sometimes you feel confused on which part to sing or just simply speak.
Any decent karaoke game will have you singing form the beginning and Def Jam Rapstar does just that. There are several modes available, and you can choose to sing solo; or have a friend sing with you in a duet; or battle it out to find out who's going to get the higher score. The Party mode offers great song choices from the classic-rap tracks from Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" to recent hits like T.I. and Rihanna's "Live Your Life." Consequently, the game is rated T for Teen. That implies that there are words in songs that are vulgar in nature to be scrapped out and replaced with some other words. Fans of famous rapper Lil Kim might get annoyed with the exclusion of such words but if you know the song anyways, you could just fill in the parts as you wish. The list of songs is quite impressive but it's unfortunate that there's no online store where you can download more and newer songs.
As is standard in other karaoke games, the section of the songs where there's melody has bars that tell the comparative length and pitch of the notes in certain lines. Rap sections on the other hand are represented by a dot on every syllable; when the ball bounces, it suggests that you articulate each.
The ball has a certain pace that indicates your beat, but because it's too small and moves too quickly at times, it becomes less of a guide in its entirety. Trying out unfamiliar tracks is difficult enough and I suggest you listen to the song first to get the rhythm and the melody. Def Jam Rapstar does offer you great songs and can even track your performance. In Career Mode, you earn huge points for nailing the lyrics, but even if you only mutter a few words along with the beat, you still obtain reasonable scores. Accumulated points may unlock new songs and if you have enough points, new tracks for the Freestyle Mode, where there are no lyrics but just backgrounds where you can do some experimenting with. You can even compose your own song in this Mode!
Def Jam Rapstar is indeed, for the most part, a great karaoke game especially if you're a big fan of the Rap genre, but what it really lacks is the ability to record performance videos, tweak with some visual effects, and upload videos for other players in the community website to see. You can still check out the community website but you'd just end up really doing nothing. If you're just out for some rapping and getting into the groove of the infamous genre, then Def Jam Rapstar is quite a find.

Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) - 18 reviews
Portraying the role of a god to a village called Raposa, you have to find the lost Book of Life in the game. The first thing you have to do is to draw your own character – the hero of the story. Then the quests begin, which the villagers sort of provide you with. You may be asked to lend a hand to a farmer gathering seeds for planting crops; or draw a new shop window in place of a stolen one. You advance to the next level every time you complete the quest and you need to unlock all levels to make progress in the game. It's quite simple and the game can be done in approximately 6 to seven hours. I didn't do bad myself and finished the entire game under six hours; and I'm not even that big on platformers.
The Next Chapter's pride and joy is its innovative drawing tool. It allows the users to give the characters their own unique touch and style, using of the easel – whenever it pops up onscreen. You can do such fun things like customizing your heart icon and have it represent by a biscuit, for example. I find this part very delightful; I can just go on adding everything that comes to mind. The customization possibilities you can do with the objects and your own character are endless. Cool! Don't expect to have added abilities there, though; no matter how cute and unique your customizations are, there are no significant changes to the objects' effectiveness or how the hero character interacts with it. It can be quite time-consuming, without any overwhelming results.
Dynamic boxes may appear in each level, which enables you to draw a line to serve as a bridge for your hero to cross, or maybe a see-saw to help your hero navigate in the air, or circles to roll down the hills. The mind's creative area is at work, yet you might find the exploits in the story a tad boring. The quests can be repetitive and acquiring new skills doesn't even add up to the game's excitement. The challenges presented by your opponents (which you cannot customize, unfortunately), are anything but challenging – they're so easy to defeat! In other words, excitement is a little compromised.
Creativeness and being imaginative are totally great with Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. The already flamboyant scenes of the jungle and spooky dungeons can still be made better with just a few tweaks of your Wii Remote. The scenes are as pleasant as can be, but the so-called adventure in the story has somehow bore me. The game has definitely put a lot of effort on its customization aspect, but should have enhanced more on its adventure quality.

Hot Wheels: Track Attack (Wii) - 18 reviews
Hot Wheels has long been here since and has continued to be a source of extreme fun over the years for many kids, especially for those who are big on collecting stuff. A lot has changed, of course and the Hot Wheels that some of the kids still play with (or collect) these days are all high-tech, battery powered versions. Now, THQ has just provided another era for Hot Wheels – a surprisingly competent game despite its being created basically for young gamers. The Need for Speed series better watch the road; Hot Wheels is hot on their trail.
Hot Wheels is so much alike the Trackmania; players have to pick their own cars from a selection of 32 diverse vehicles in various track settings. The tracks consist of amazing gravity-defying loops coupled with treacherous hazards that spring at you out of nowhere; plus there are a number of extremely dicey corners. These all make the game such a thrilling fun. If and when you finish the tracks you can unlock treasures that may be useful for further pursuits in the game.
The most fun part for me, however, is the enormous heap of Hot Wheels pieces provided by the built-in track designer. I can just construct any fantastic circuit that comes to mind. That's right, mate, you can build your own fantasy tracks – any number of tracks, in fact – that you fancy. Here's where it gets quite challenging to the game's targeted market, which are obviously the younger gamers. The designer is simple enough, so the challenge is really in letting your creativity juice flow to come up with magnificent results (and it can churn out some really terrific ones, mind you) – with layouts that are as spine-tingling as you want to make them; heck, you can have it as precipitous as you like, defying gravity to the max!
Another nice touch is how kids can customize their own vehicle, which gives them a sense of creating something uniquely their own that they can flaunt and show off to friends and opponents later. Not just show, actually. The game has thoughtfully thrown in a split screen action that allows kids to create a track where they can later challenge their mates to a race – imagine…your self-created car and track against that of the other kids' on a head to head competition! The only limitation here is that, unlike in Trackmania, you can't tweak individual settings to its full extent.
The graphics of the game is definitely just suitable for the Wii platform, so don't expect too much in terms of realism; no real light or shades or super accurate depictions of the cars. You just have to rely on your own Hot Wheels knowledge to identify some of the cars, which most of the time, you really can recognize in spite of the inaccuracies. They have included quite a range of the classic ones like the dragster type machines that I recognized as among those I so yearned when I was kid. Unbelievable!
The races are so competitive there's only one way to win it – surpass your opponents in every way possible. The concept of a Super Mario Kart style tilt controls are used to power up your speed. You can also use the bonuses to propel you at super high speed. Unfortunately, it's very tempting for players to likewise engage in dirty tactics to nudge a competition off the game; that's how extremely competitive it is.
Thank goodness to the well designed graphics and concept, the game provides a different ambiance to the world of Hot Wheels. The game has honest-to-goodness values that make it one superb release.

At 16 years old, Tyler Head's life changed forever.
Los Angeles has become synonymous with sunny weather and beautiful beaches, but when it came to choosing where to spend the next four years of ...
The Newton High School basketball team is back from its summer road trip with the confidence needed to face the upcoming 2016 season.
In order to be the best, you have to beat the best. And that is what the Newton basketball team hopes to do this summer.
A year after finishing fourth in the state, the Newton Rams took home the Class AAAAAA title in the 2016 GHSA Boy's Track and ...
Page 1 of 1
Newton basketball kept rolling over the break as the Rams went 3-0 in a holiday tournament at Walnut Grove winning the championship 39-36 over Walnut Grove. Rams' head coach Rick Rasmussen breaks down the tournament run in this exclusive question and answer.
Coaching at any level of sports is a complicated task of its own, but helping teenage boys develop into mature young men on and off the basketball courts is another complex assignment.
Normally when a coach starts three or more freshman its by default and that team is probably in for a long season filled with a lot of mistakes. Newton's girls basketball team starts three freshmen, but is off to an 8-2 start this season and they'll only get better with time.
Newton faced its toughest competition of the season on Friday since beating Butler in an exhibition match before the regular season and it showed as Newton got blowed out 67-42 against Tucker.
Newton had put up a good fight. They were in it with Tucker the entire game, but the defending state champion Lady Tigers had taken a six point lead with just a couple of minutes remaining in the contest. To lose by a few points to a team that won a state championship last year would be an honorable moral victory. But the Lady Rams didn't want a moral victory. They wanted to make a statement.
More than just bragging rights are on the line for Friday night's Newton/Tucker matchup. Tucker, which was added to Region 2-AAAAAA this year, is pretty much a powerhouse in every high school sport and that doesn't change in basketball.
Facing a rival for the third straight game, Newton dominated once again, with the girls winning 54-52 and the boys winning 70-51.
The rivalry that exists between Eastside and Newton has been well documented. For any contest or sporting event that the two compete in, the ultimate goal is to beat the other one, the school across the county.
Salem's girls survived against a strong push from a promising Newton team with a bright future, but Newton's boys dealt the Seminoles their second loss of the season.
Newton, both the girls and the boys, got convincing victories over county rival Eastside. The girls started it off with a 76-51 victory and the boys followed it up by winning 57-43.
All good things must come to an end. Newton's outstanding playoff run ended on Friday after a devastating 43-29 loss to Etowah.
Before the season, Rams' head coach Terrance Banks talked a big game about his team. It had some wondering if he was just being arrogant or if there was actual truth to his words. The Rams just lost their last game of the season, going 2-1 in the playoffs, but it seems Banks was right about a lot.
This week is a special edition of our athletes of the week page. With Eastside and Alcovy basketball having away games, we decided that Newton's seniors would be the athletes of the week. All of Newton's seniors have made some type of impact on this season, but we can only highlight a few of them. Honorable mentions: Nuka Yobo and Steven Montac.
With five minutes and 31 seconds left Newton awaited a kickoff with the game tied at 29. It was everything the Rams wanted, until it wasn't.
All year long Newton football made its money on offense where Rams' head coach Terrance Banks had nine returning starters from last year's team. As the Black Knights know, the Rams live and die (mostly living) on the arms and legs of Romario Johnson. However, it's been the Rams' defense that has propelled the team to new heights in this year's playoffs.

I get a server error every way I try to access my blog.
My site is hosted and was working before I killed it.
I installed and activated a plugin. All looked fine. When I tried the main page, I get the error. Same error when I try the admin page.
I tried to find the folder(s) for the failing plugin but I cannot locate anything with a reasonable name. I was going to delete that folder tree and see what I get after that. I don't know what else to do.
Thanks in advance,

Hello, is there a way to make a theme/site automatically expand to fill the viewer's screen?
One of our sites has a set width of 950px. Is there a way to make the size of the site automatically increase to fill the width of the monitor? Some of our clients have very large monitors - some as large as 24 inches, so the site appears very small on their screen - taking up less than 1/4 of the screen. We can't just increase the width to 2000, because then the site wouldn't fit on smaller monitors.
I was hoping there was some kind of setting/plugin/code modification that would achieve something like this.

New job, new dog?
Freshly minted The X Factor judge Britney Spears is showing off an adorable addition to her fan base: introducing … Hannah!
"I want you all to meet my new little baby girl @hannahspears," Spears, 30, Tweeted Monday, alongside a sweet snapshot of the duo. "How cute is she?!?!"
And, yes, Britney's b––h already has a budding fan following of her own. The pint-sized pooch is taking to Twitter – perhaps with the help of mom – with some doggone pressing thoughts.
"Should I wear a bow?" reads a Tweet from Hannah's account. "Mom says I'm a princess & that I need a bow."

Tools for School, a program designed to collect school supplies for elementary and middle school students in St. Johns County continues until July 31.
"Do you remember the first day of school, when most children had new clothing, book bags, notebooks, pens, pencils and more?" questions Officer Joe Bowen of the St. Augustine Police Department.
"Well, it's been a very long time since I've been in school, but I still remember how important it was to start the year off with new school supplies."
Tools for School, Bowen explains, is asking for donations to insure all students start the school year with the correct supplies needed to succeed. "The cost to you is minimal, the rewards priceless."
Needed are boxes of No. 2 pencils, pens of all colors, notebooks, pocket folders, construction paper, three-ring binders, calculators, clear backpacks, scissors, compasses, index cards, crayons, rulers, paper, erasers and similar items.
Supplies can be taken to collection boxes at The St. Augustine Record, One News Place; the St. Augustine Police Department, King Street; the St. Johns County Auditorium, Lewis Speedway; St. Johns County libraries and the state attorney's office.
For information call Donna Miller at the state attorney's office, 823-2300, or Bowen, 825-1074.
