JFK and Ryan Awards
University of Massachusetts Boston senior Sam Chandler is the 37th recipient of the John F. Kennedy Award for Academic Excellence—the highest honor given to UMass Boston graduates.
The award is given to the graduating senior who best exemplifies academic excellence, commitment to service, and good citizenship. Winners receive a $1,000 honorarium, a bust of John F. Kennedy, and the opportunity to speak at their commencement ceremony.
"The nominees for this year's JFK Award excel in the classroom while also making the University of Massachusetts Boston a better place for their fellow students, professors, and community members," Chancellor Motley said. "Even among this impressive group, Sam's contributions stand out. His military service, his advising work with freshmen, and his volunteer efforts make him more than deserving of this award."
Chandler entered the Marines shortly after his graduation from Lincoln-Sudbury High School. Just months later, he was sent to Fallujah for the first of two tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The quick deployment forced Chandler to master his new job in a war zone. Before long, he was taking on additional responsibilities typically reserved for more senior service members.
"It was very empowering to me as a young Marine," Chandler says of his first experiences in Iraq. "I started off just learning the ropes, and then I realized I have a lot to offer."
After the Marines, Chandler brought that lesson to UMass Boston, where he has distinguished himself by his exemplary academic performance and his devotion to the campus community.
As a student in the College of Management, Chandler has earned a 3.8 GPA while pursuing a concentration in renewable energy. He plans a career "on the business side" of innovations in solar and wind power.
Chandler's proudest achievement at UMass Boston is his service as an academic peer advisor to new freshmen: helping them register for classes, plan a course of study, and acclimate themselves to the university environment.
"They're here on their orientation day, and their head is spinning," Chandler said. "I get to sit down with them and say, 'Alright, I'm a student here, let's ground it a little bit. I'm going to tell you all the stuff you don't know.'"
Away from campus, Chandler is a founding member and assistant director of the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund, a local nonprofit that hosts a 5K race each fall. The proceeds fund a scholarship in memory of Chandler's friend and fellow Marine, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
As he prepares to graduate, Chandler says, "I think the biggest thing that I've taken away from my time here is, you get back what you put in. If you just kind of tread water and get through it, that's what you're going to get back. But if you really go out there and engage and put yourself out there, you'll get a lot more out of it."
Chandler, 26, graduated May 31 with a degree in international management. Chandler is ready to go all in on his next endeavor: later this month, he will continue his studies in the MBA program at Babson College in Wellesley.
The university has an impressive list of previous JFK Award recipients.
Ryan Award
The Ryan Award is named for John W. Ryan, who was the first chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Boston. He served from 1965 to 1968. It commemorates the first convocation of UMass Boston and recognizes excellence in the student body. The Ryan Award is given to the student who has achieved the highest cumulative average for four semesters in residence during the freshman-sophomore years. The first Ryan Award was granted in 1971.
The university has an impressive list of previous Ryan Award recipients.

Every flight normally has a range of price levels. Often, there are only a couple of coach seats offered at the lowest prices. When you shop for multiple tickets, and there aren't enough seats available at the lowest ticket price, the reservation system automatically kicks bookings up to the next price level.
If you don't have the time or inclination to sift through dozens of airline newsletters for deals, you can sign up for fare alerts.
Travelers can often get a better deal with a vacation package instead of buying their airfare and hotel separately. That's because airlines and hotels are often more willing to offer deeper discounts when airfare prices are wrapped into a package. That way, their competitors can't see how much they're slashing rates.
Depending on the distance from your home to the airport, using smaller, regional airports can sometimes mean savings

There are billions of stars, millions of planets, but there is only one man, Terrance McDoogal. Welcome to LIU Atlas.
About this creation
LIU Atlas - Anulus Pomarii Belt
The Ludgonian Industrial Union's galaxy contains billions of stars and billions of planets. Unfortunately, most residents of the LIU could only name a handful of these worlds. In order to improve astronomy grades across the LIU, TV2 has started a new program called LIU Atlas. Follow our host, Terrance McDoogal, as he takes you on a tour across the LIU and some of its more obscure worlds.
Note: This episode is presented in full screen. The corresponding dialogue is underneath each photo.
Doog: �Welcome to another episode of LIU Atlas. I�m your host, Terrance �Doog� McDoogal. Today, we�re visiting one of the LIU Galaxy�s strangest biological spectacles, the Anulus Pomarii Asteroid Belt. A strange, space-based plant species has spread across the belt, uniting the asteroid belt into one large, interconnected ring. Each individual has joined several asteroids together with it vine-like tentacles. A grouping of asteroids joined by any one individual is known as a �cluster�. Each of the major clusters are inhabited. We�re heading to the cluster known as West Virgo.�
Doog: �None of the belt�s asteroids have achieved sufficient size to hold an atmosphere, so the residents here live in pressurized space habitats. It appears the locals have made their own adjustments to the structure. I guess it adds some personality�hillbilly personality��
Billy B: �What in the hells do you want boy? I sure hope you have a reason to be here trespassin� on my cluster.�
Doog: �Uh, hello there. I�m Doog. I�m here to do a show about the Anulus Pomarii Belt. I believe arrangements have been made. This is West Virgo, right?�
Billy B: �Ha, you�re that fancy city boy they was talkin� bout. They call me Billy Bob.�
Doog: �I�ve never been accused with being fancy before, but nice to meet you.�
Billy B: �Oh, you�s fancy alright. Whatcha got on there? A space tuxedo?�
Doog: �Huh? Oh, this. Well, you see, I had to rent a suit while mine gets repaired. This is all they had left in stock.�
Billy B: �Yeah, sure. Hey Billy Joe, take a look at this guy!�
Billy J: �What in the heck! Is that a space waiter? No one here ordered anything.�
Billy B: �Haha. Whatcha you think, Billy Ray?�
Billy R: �Gwa, heesa got pim berg leps. Hehehe.�
Doog: �What?�
Doog: �Well, whenever you guys are finished insulting my suit and mangling the Basic language, I�d like to get started. So, what do you guys do here?�
Billy B: �We makes Starshine.�
Doog: �What�s Starshine?�
Billy B: �Whatcha mean? Everyone, at least in these here parts, knows what Starshine is.�
Doog: �Well, as we have established, I�m not from these �parts�.�
Billy B: �It�s only one of the most famous liquors in the universe�fermented from the flowers of the local Pomarii Space Vines. Sure, it�ll eat the enamel of your teeth, make your intestines boil, and cause blindness, but it sure is mighty tasty. And it gives a mean buzz too.�
Doog: �You�re telling me that these space plants have flowers?�
Billy J: �Boy, you must haves a hard time waitin� tables with your hearing.�
Billy B: �Aw, screw it. Let�s just show him, Billy Joe. We�ll be here all cycle tryin� to splain it to him. We wouldn�t wanna make him miss the prom.�
Billy R: �Yah, nosa be tinkin� fezi.�
Billy B: �This asteroid is da largest in the cluster. It�s several miles long. We ain�t gonna walk around; it takes too long. It�s high time we bring out the ol� truck.�
Doog: �Geez, this thing looks ancient.�
Billy B: �This is a classic, boy. A 3057 LIU Low-Grav All-Terrain Truck. Heavy, bulky, and boxy. Ol� school LIU.�
Billy B: �Now, now, don�t go wreckin� your tux. Let me help you up.�
Billy B: �You�d best be holdin� on tight. The gravity here is mighty weak. We hit a bump, you might just find yourself floatin� away.�
Billy J: �Dang it Billy Bob! I was gonna enjoy watchin� the fancy boy drifting away!�
Billy B: �There you�s have it. Some of the Pomarii Space Vine�s blooms. When the bloom matures, it ejects its spores into space and hopes they fertilize another space vine. The success rate of this type of reproduction is real, real low. Space is a big place. So, we�s are real lucky, the vines puts up new blooms constantly.�
Doog: �And you pick the flowers from the bloom.�
Billy B: �Sure thang. That�s if these two idiots can manage it��
Billy J: �Darn it, Billy Ray. You�s a steppin� on my face visor. I swear, you decompress me again, I�m a gonna knock out your last tooth.�
Billy R: �Ger, you fudging! Holl still!�
Billy B: �The biggest blooms can holds up to twenty flowers. More than enoughs to make a bottle of Starshine. Looks like we gots about twelve here. We�s gonna have to harvest its lil� buddy o�er her too. Then we�ll head on back and brew it up.�
Doog �Wow, what�s this?�
Billy B: �Ah, it�s a trunk, one of the larger parts of the vine that spans the void between asteroids. You see, the Pomarii Vine spends out lil� tentacles that search for other asteroids to spread to. They�s are light sensitive. They seek darkness. Dark means shadows, and shadows means something is blockin� out the sunlight. More than likely another asteroid. The tentacles slowly grow towards the dark, and when they reach another asteroid, they take up root. More tentacles grow around their successful buddy, thickenin� it up until it becomes as thick as this trunk. The Pomarii Vine has spread across the whole belt usin� this technique.�
Doog: �Interesting.�
Billy B: �We�re almost back to the ol� homestead. There, we�s are gonna show you how we turn these here flowers into Starshine.�
Billy B: �Home sweet home.�
Doog: �I like what you�ve done with the place.�
Billy B: � Yeah, we�s made a few modifications. Feels more like home this way.�
Billy B: �The first step in turnin� the flowers to Starshine requires that we smash �em up and extract the nectar. We don�t need no fancy machine for that. We got women for dat. Mary Lou! Bobbie Marie! Get your no good behinds down here and get to mashin�!�
Mary: �We�s coming. Hold your horses, you ol� dog!�
Billy B: �Well, whatcha waiting for? They ain�t gonna mash themselves.�
Bobbie: �You�d best be keeping� that filthy tongue of yours still, Billy Bob. Or we might just be mashin� you up.�
Mary: �Well, Billy ray. Get us a tune going!�
All: �Flowers from the space vine,
Make a burning wine,
We�re all swine for Starshine!
B�fore we dine,
Gimme mine,
We all pine for Starshine!
When you�ve had nine,
You�ll feel fine,
Get in line for Starshine!�
Doog: �I don�t mean to whine, but that song was far from divine.�
Billy Bob: �Once all the juices have been stomped out the flowers, we pour it into a container and cook it for a bit. The flower naturally have alcohol in them, it keeps them from freezing up in the cold void of space. Cookin� it just concentrates the alcohol more.�
Doog: �Sick! Are you cooking it in a trash can?!�
Billy B: �What�s the big deal? We emptied all da trash out beforehand.�
Billy B: �Once it gets all cooked up, we pour it into jugs to cool. It�s then ready to drink.�
Doog: �Well folks, there you have it. Here on the Anulus Pomarii Belt, some culturally undeveloped folks make Starshine, a powerful alcoholic drink. The drink�s rarity and unique composition make it an expensive addition to any liquor cabinet. See ya!�

This moc is great! I really like the way you had the vines connect all the asteroids, and the rednecks were quite funny. If you have the time you should look up the games Half-Life and Borderlands, even if you dont play videogames, they both have very interesting characters, creatures and locations that I'm sure you could incorporate into your mocs. :)

Fantastic episode, I never thought that Doog would be classier than his host. ;) Great MOCs, I especially liked the homestead and how you included a rifle on the pickup truck. LIU Revolution sounds like a very interesting mini-series, you've piqued my curiosity. I've had some ideas kicking around which your preview brings to mind, if it's anything like I expect I'll be very interested in seeing how you tackle your series.

Are you thinking about getting arm star tattoos? If yes, then read on to know more about different kind of the best arm star tattoo designs. We are seeing that people are preferring to get star arm tattoos whether on upper arms or forearm.
It's needless to say that star tattoos are very popular kind of tattoos amongst both guys and girls due to their variety and simplicity.
As we said earlier when people initially think of inking their bodies then they choose their arms for tattooing. So, they can't resist themselves from getting arm star tattoos. There are so many reason why guys and girls are going so crazy for arm tattoos. As we said so many times, it is not relatively as painful as other areas of the body because of the amount of muscle present in this area. Our arms have enough tissues to padding the skin during the tattooing process.
And the second one benefit of this kind of design is that as we are repeating it again here, they are highly visible and at the same time being totally concealable. Basically star tattoo designs are know for variety & simplicity. We can divide them by the numbers of points they have, ranging from four to nine.
Let's see on this girl having five pointed with some swirls arm star tattoos on her upper arm. A solid five pointed star is considered a great symbol of patriotism, specially when combined with the stripes of the American flag or an eagle..
We think arm area is a beautiful place for a star tattoo as well. There's enough space and it shows off well. The front bicep facing forward could also be an option for star tattoo placement. Generally we believe the star tattoo is best represented facing forward, steering the individual ahead.
So, guys and guys if you've decided about getting a star tattoo design on your arm. Then first of all you have to think, where you want to put it. Will you prefer an upper or lower arm tattoo? Will you prefer a full sleeve design?
We would like to give some suggestion for your tattoo design. It must not be very large because you should also in mind that one's arms will likely get smaller or larger as they age and that this may affect the aesthetics of the tattoo.
As far as design is concerned some people prefer full or half sleeve star with swirls. But if you are going to get this kind of tattoo then you also have to take care of your arm muscles. Your muscles should remain unchangeable in size as well as shape.
Decision must be your own as far as location is concerned both upper arm and forearm are descent place for getting star tattoo design. The best star designs vary from four pointed to nice pointed star, from nautical to shooting star tattoos. You may get the nautical star tattoo on the right arm with the longest point towards the wrist such that when they point upwards with their hands, it symbolizes looking out for a brighter future in one's life.
You have to think a little about what meaning your star tattoo will symbolize. Anyway you must search and spend time on choosing a star arm tattoo. Be remember your tattoo will define your personality and it will be with you forever.

Suspect hispanic male adult 5'10 wearing a scarf on his head, all I have right now. Last seen headed toward Modoc.
The crime is pretty ironic another California city like ours is dealing with a spike in crime and two of their police officers were shot dead today.. We all need to watch out for each other..
Will because with all the people sleeping in the weeds, in their cars, RV's your RV'S and Cars, squatting in structures and many, many otter places including underwater caves, the hills, mountains, Uranus, it would take the National Guard to clean out all the camps plus there's no money..You don't expect people to go out there and clean up the camps for FREE do you? Have you ever cleaned up an en"Don't forget the poopy bags"campment? There is a very small budget for it and things are not done the way they used to be there are laws now.
Santa Cruz has had a recent spike in violent crime this make 5 homicides this year..This may be a sign of things to come for Santa Barbara..Both cities have alot of the same problems..

Our Story So Far
If you're a long time reader, you know what a Woot-Off means. It's time for our semi-regular recap! Last time was about a month ago, and we'd like to think you've read every word since.
But, just in case, let's cover some of the high points, okay?
Jake's been pretty busy this month, starting with a song. He's also been feeling rather creative, drawing an imaginary map of a world where he's more important than his older sister, and telling a story where he's wiser than his younger sister.
But Ella's not so foolish in real life. She's talking a lot more and proving her genius even if her mother can't always understand.
But she does have her dad's taste in music, which is something Uncle Alex found out the hard way when he tried to teach her about dubstep. Don't feel so bad for the guy, though, he had his moment in the sun when he made fun of his buddy Ricky earlier that week.
Of course, you'd know all this and more if you were reading along, right? You'd know about Gavin's guardian angel and Jessica's nightmare and even Olivia's Halloween ghost story experience. Our advice is that you should consider this your jumping-on point, and catch up now so you're ahead of us next time.

After Congress and several other parties demanded banning opinion polls recently, the Election Commission (EC) is likely to ask the government to ban opinion polls a fortnight before elections to ensure a level playing field for all candidates in the fray.
Congress faced fierce opposition from the BJP that said the Congress sought a ban because its "rout in the polls was imminent". Congress countered the criticism saying it had only given its opinion sought by the EC on the issue.
People took to Twitter and other social networking sites to express their views on the issue. Comments ranged from readers saying that the democratic rights of people are being curtailed, to some saying that it is an insult to voters if it is felt that they are so stupid as to be influenced by the surveys in the media.
A poll conducted by the Hindustan Times, sought the views of the readers on the issue. While a majority of voters believed that opinion polls on elections should not be banned, there were some who believed otherwise. Here are the results.

text: These Baseball Glove Oven Mitts Give New Meaning to Hot CornerAndrew Liszewski10/15/12 9:40amFiled to: BaseballDesiredCookingKitchenHome Run Oven Mitts5EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkEven if your team has already been eliminated from the playoffs, you can keep the season going in your kitchen with this brilliant pair of baseball-themed oven mitts. Made from flame and heatproof materials instead of leather, they could be the perfect consolation prize if your team didn't win the pennant.AdvertisementThe detailed screenprint makes them hard to distinguish from the real thing, and while you normally don't wear two baseball gloves at the same time, at $13 a pop these are probably an easier sell. After all, why ask someone to buy you some peanuts and Cracker Jacks when you can just make them yourself in your kitchen? [Mustard via bookofjoe]Reply5 repliesLeave a reply

• While Owen County was beating Bourbon County Friday night, Western Hills defeated Grant County, 21-6, to improve to 1-2. • In going 3-0 to start the season, the Rebels have outscored their first three opponents 69-33. • In contrast, the 21 points scored Friday night by the Wolverines were their first points scored in 2011. In their first two games, Western Hills lost 28-0 to Woodford County and 62-0 to Franklin County.
It seemed like the perfect storm. The Rebels traveled to Paris Friday night to take on Bourbon County. They knew before they got there that they would be battling more than just the Colonels. First, they would be dealing with temperatures in the 90s. Second, they would have to play in front of a crowd that was excited about watching its team play on its new field turf for the first time. If that wasn't enough, Owen County would fall behind 14-0 in the first quarter.

Didn't really have much to write about this week. It was kind of a lost weekend. Wanda didn't send any news and my life was nothing to write home about either. Bruce and Fay did get the hay, such as it was, cut and rolled. The barn martins left about the 30th but I had several things that week and didn't mention it. The humming birds have just about gone, too. Labor Day weekend is over and so is UK's less-than-stellar football game. The less said about that the better.
Rick Morgan with the Owen County Emergency Management Office would like to remind all Owen countians to be prepared.

Wife and I are deer hunting this weekend hoping to add venison to the freezer.
Good. Work with the equipment you have. I'm rather limited. I would die to have a GHR station. I used to have a reverse hyper station. I wondered forever what that thing was that people kept setting their coats, towels, and notebooks on. Then I finally figured out what it was. I started using it. Two months later, they removed it. I try to make it a habit of running accessory work for at least two cycles. That way it gives me a chance to master a new lift, or at least make some measurable progress on something. So I would advise to keep things simple. Keep things consistant. Nothing wrong with testing out a different lift or piece of equipment. That's part of what I use deload weeks for, I like to experiment. I don't necessarily put a new lift into my next cycle, but I tuck it away and chew on things for future reference.

2015 Cadillac Escalade drops bare-bones model, starts $8,000 higher at $72,690
DETROIT -- The redesigned 2015 Cadillac Escalade will start at $72,690, including shipping, a jump of nearly $8,000 from a base 2014 model.
For the 2015 model year, which goes on sale this spring, Cadillac eliminated a stripped down base model Escalade that sold in light volumes for 2014. The base price for the 2015 Escalade is $3,725 higher than the comparable '14 trim, which was one step up from a base model.
Cadillac ditched the bare-bones base model for 2015 because it "has been the least popular version," Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell said. "Nearly all buyers opt up for more content."
Extra features that come standard on the 2015 base model include the CUE infotainment system, heated and cooled front seats, 20-inch wheels and GM's magnetic damping system.
The redesigned model -- the fourth-generation Escalade and the first overhaul in about eight years -- also comes with a new 6.2-liter V-8 engine rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pounds-feet of torque, up from 403 hp and 417 pounds-feet for the outgoing engine. It features new touches like real aluminum interior trim and fold-flat second- and third-row seats.
The Escalade is the latest fresh Cadillac entry to sport a much higher price tag. Prices on the redesigned 2014 CTS sedan, launched in the fall, range from $6,000 to $15,000 higher vs. the '13 CTS on a model-to-model basis. The ELR plug-in hybrid coupe, which hit dealerships this month, surprised many dealers with a sticker price of $75,995 including destination. General Motors has not released pricing for other Escalade trim levels or the longer wheelbase ESV model. Dealers have begun ordering the 2015 Escalade, which should arrive in showrooms by the end of March.
Escalade competitors include the Mercedes GL-Class, which starts at $63,925; the Lexus LX570, starting at $83,540, and Land Rover's Range Rover, starting at $84,195. All prices include shipping.

For 8- and 9-year-old soccer players the score isn't nearly as important as the post-game Popsicle.
Following the Steamboat Strikers No. 1 team's 13-2 loss to the Little Shots out of Thornton, the Steamboat girls gathered around their coaches, talking about what happened in Friday's games and what to think about for the conclusion of pool play today.
Steamboat's youngest team is the youngest in the girls' division of the Steamboat Mountain Magic Tournament.
Team member Kendall McGill, 9, said it can be a little frustrating playing against more experienced players, but she and her teammates love soccer no matter the opponent.
"It's hard because they are bigger," McGill said. "But I think we're doing pretty good."
Coach Leon Rinck thinks so, too.
A format change for this year's tournament allowed the U-10 girls and boys to play four-on-four instead of standard 11-player soccer.
The shorter fields, smaller goals and absence of a goalie make for higher scoring games, but the format allows young players a chance to practice the basics of the sport.
"This week in practice we focused on beating a defender and passing and receiving the ball," Rinck said. "This game teaches you that. The diamond shape of soccer is so basic."
Rinck said while his young team wasn't victorious Friday there is time for them to enjoy the feeling of winning.
"For these girls it's more about getting out and getting touches and game experience," Rinck said. "These girls will catch up."
Tournament play is different than practice, which is one thing to which the team has to adjust.
"You have to hustle a lot more," team member Emily Hannah, 8, said.
The heat of Friday afternoon sent the girls off the soccer field shortly before receiving their Popsicles. Some were headed inside. Hannah was headed to the river for a dip.
Members of Steamboat's U-10 Strikers No. 1 include Eryn Rinck, Cassidy Fox, Hadlie Quick, Dany Perry, Kendall McGill, Emily Hannah and Madeline Schaffrick.

Achievement Guide and Roadmap
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10 -Offline: 50 (1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg) -Online: 0 -Approximate amount of time to 1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg: 17-20 Hours -Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 4 -Number of missable achievements: 0 -Do cheat codes disable achievements ? None -Does difficulty affect achievements? There is no difficulty setting. -Glitchy achievements: No -Unobtainable achievements? No -Extra equipment needed? No Introduction This game is rather basic. You go on short missions, most lasting between 5-10 minutes. There are a few different types but it all leads back to flying around, locking on to things, and pressing buttons. You'll have to play the game 4 times total. Step 1: Playthrough 1 In this playthrough you are going to focus on getting achievements and not worrying about gold rankings at all. Follow the guide to see what is in store during this playthrough. You should get almost all of the achievements in this playthrough except for a few which will be on the next playthrough. You will want to skip the bonus missions entirely. Now that you have beaten the game once, create new games on each save slot (each different owl on each remaining save slot). You should get the new game+ achievement for this as well. I would suggest highly picking any owl but the Spotted Owl, as it's the weakest of the owls. Even though it's the fastest, you will take much more time killing enemies. Step 2: 2nd Playthrough, Gold Medals, Bonus Missions Now that you've played through the game, you'll have a great understanding of the mechanics and how to chain attacks and complete missions faster. Use this knowledge and your Battlesets to finish off all the gold medals in the game on this playthrough. Then, go to the bonus missions and find all of the scrolls and get golds on the seperate missions within. For the scrolls you have help from a changing green to red indicator on your screen telling you if you're close or not. On this playthrough you should be able to get almost every level done with a gold ranking except maybe 2 or 3. If you have a lot more to get, just move on to a third playthrough and afterwards, pick whatever playthrough you had gotten most golds on. Replay the ones you don't have gold rankings on to get them. Step 3: Last Playthrough/s, Mopping Up If there's any reason you haven't gotten an achievement, just replay whatever mission you need to get it. Look in the guide for a proved method to obtain what it is you're missing. Now you just have a playthrough or two left. You should be able to soar (literally) through the playthrough in just around 3 hours or less. Conclusion This is one of those games you can play for easy achievements. Though there is a good amount of replaying levels which could be somewhat tedious. Other than that, it's a straight forward game with decent flight mechanics and average graphics. The playthrough time depends heavily on how much you replay missions and how long it takes you to find the hidden scrolls. Sometimes you'll find the first 4 scrolls in only 10 minutes, then the last one might take you 45 minutes to find. Hopefully the scroll video will help make this a lot easier. After you have done your last playthrough you will be awarded the last achievement. |
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPoHmN0=.jpgReady for Battle5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete the Tutorial Missions Before you begin the game, you must do a tutorial. The tutorial is divided into two areas and teaches you basics on how to play the game. While in this tutorial, you will not be able to gain any achievements. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/+64vAw==.jpgVictory!5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Defeat an enemy in a mission You will get this in the first mission. To defeat an enemy, press :lbbut: to lock onto them, then :xbut: to attack when the reticule is red. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPvnYE4=.jpgC-C-Combo Breaker5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Perform a chain attack on a single enemy in a mission To perform a chain attack, you must hit the same enemy at least twice in a row during a combo. When fighting an enemy, press :xbut: to attack them while locked on with :lbbut:. Right after the attack, you will notice your reticule will turn red again giving you another opportunity to attack. You should get this in the first level. Note: If you attempt this in later levels, you will have to take different approaches towards enemies with armor. Instead, you would use a :ybut: :ybut: combo. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPnGafs=.jpgCounter Culture 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Successfully counter attack an enemy in a mission Countering is learned in the tutorial. To do this, let an enemy get close to you while you fly head on towards it. The game will give you plenty of time to counter, as well as give you a prompt to press a specific button. Once you press the button, the achievement will unlock. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-C3NTw==.jpgDo a Barrel Roll! 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Do a barrel roll in a mission To do a barrel roll, press the :rs: either to the left or the right. Remember, you cannot get this in the tutorial. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-+w8aQ==.jpgTop Speed 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Reach maximum speed in a mission To reach maximum speed, hold the :rtbut: while flying. While doing this, you may go into a glide which makes you go even faster. If you have prowess built up (the yellow meter on the top right of the screen) then press :rs: up which does a corkscrew to bring you to top speed as well. Maximum speed is a calculation of the fastest the specific owl you have is going, and if you have a Battleset on which increases speed, it will factor in the new maximum. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-uoh0g==.jpgUpgrade your Flight 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Unlock a new combat attack You will automatically unlock this in the first mission while fighting enemies. The game will tell you what you unlocked, and how to use it. Continue to play missions and defeat enemies to unlock more. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-wrZQQ==.jpgTeam Attack 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Use the Team Attack Combo to help out a wingman in trouble Lock onto an enemy with :lbbut: then press :rbbut: to use your wingman (must have enough prowess, at least one bird icon on top must be green). He will be sent to attack that enemy, but you're still locked on so press :xbut: to attack it and unlock this achievement. It registers as you both attacking the enemy as a team. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPrre0A=.jpgSeven in One Blow20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Defeat seven enemies without being hit in a mission There are enough enemies to get this in the first mission. You should have no trouble attacking enemies by spamming the :xbut: while locked on with :lbbut:. If you are being attacked, you will be prompted to press :xbut: to counter the attack. Just make sure you don't get hit during these attacks or you will be at zero again. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPjKcvU=.jpgNo Flies on Shard 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete all objectives in a mission successfully without dying The first level is quite easy, and you might not lose any health at all to begin with unless you hit something while flying. Just defeat the enemies you encounter and try to get used to countering attacks. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPpygo8=.jpgFly Safe 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete An Ally in the Sand without touching a twister This is the first level in the Desert of Kuneer levels. It's very easy to avoid the twisters since they are spread very far apart. You should have no problems navigating around them. |
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/+PYn6g==.jpgO Rly?5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Replay a mission After your first mission is over, select "replay" and you will unlock the achievement. You can actually replay it if you want, or just quit out. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPgmkWg=.jpgTake That, You Fiend! 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Hit an enemy with the Corkscrew in a mission To hit an enemy with a corkscrew, fly straight towards it. Lock onto it with :lbbut:. When the game prompts you to counter the move, instead press the :rs: up and try to fly into the enemy. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-VTMEw==.jpgMake some Noise 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Hoot 108 times To hoot, press :abut:. While flying and playing missions, just keep pressing it until the achievement unlocks. It doesn't actually do anything, besides make noise. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPuhQwA=.jpgNo Witnesses 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Defeat every enemy in a story mission The first mission this can be accomplished on is the second mission and can almost be considered story related. A decent amount of missions will require you to defeat all enemies. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/+k7XkA==.jpgA Bird in the Hand 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Upgrade your owl with any Battleset You will be notified when you unlock a new Battleset. Once this happens, finish your mission and return to Shard's Hollow. Now select the armory. The first one you can buy is called Swift Steel. It will cost you 150 Shinies (the currency). You should have enough to buy this by the time you unlock it. Once bought, it will be equipped and you will unlock the achievement. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP-QaXY=.jpgGreat Shot 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Hit an enemy with a flaming coal There are flaming coals that you can pick up with :abut: when prompted on specific levels. The game will usually point out these areas for you. You will hold 2 coals at a time. Lock onto an enemy and press :abut: to throw the coal. You must do this to the first boss. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-c013A==.jpgThat Was Close! 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Narrowly avoid colliding with an enemy in a mission You'll most likely get this while fighting enemies. Narrow means extremely close. The more enemies on the screen, the better. This should come natural, but if it doesn't then you're going to have to pull some maneuvering while flying, using the :rs:. Right when an enemy is coming in for an attack (and you ignoring the counter warning) barrow role to the left or right and you should see a slow motion scene take place. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPgsl90=.jpgGliding with Style20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete a mission without losing your armor This should come along with normal play. Your armor is whatever Battleset you have on. On the top right of the screen is your health (a green bar). When you have a Battleset on, it shows an armor type design on it. As you take damage, it starts to chip away. You must have some left by the time the mission ends. Easy Method: You can also gain these in bonus missions. Doing a Speed Flying objective for example could grant you this achievement very easily since the only way you can lose armor is to accidently fly into the environment. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-pU9NQ==.jpgKuneer or Kufaar 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete the Desert of Kuneer Missions These missions are the first set and there are a total of 5 you must complete. The missions revolve around battles with bats and finally a boss at the end (the Chieftain). 1. An Ally in the sand 2. Desert Eagle 3. Thieves in the Night 4. Into the Hideout 5. The Chieftain Strikes After beating these missions you will gain the achievement as well as being able to play the Kuneer Bonus Mission, located at the bottom of the mission list. These levels should take you around 35-40 minutes to complete. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPkZs3o=.jpgFly like the Wind30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Use 50 Wind Currents A Wind Current is a way to boost speed while flying through missions. They are in various spots while playing a level, and are shown as swirling wind. You should get this along with your playthroughs of this game. Alternative Method: If you want this fast, load up the bonus mission on The Island of Hoole and just keep pressing back on the right stick so you flip around and can flip around again to go through it. |
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPpBu5M=.jpgAs the Crow Flies 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat 20 Crows The crows appear in the story mode as well as the survival mode in the bonus mission located on the Island of Hoole. You have to do survival mode anyways for a gold medal, so you'll get this while playing the game naturally. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP1boBA=.jpgThat's Got to Hurt 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Successfully perform the Fall From Grace You must unlock this move to be able to earn it. You unlock moves by killing enemies in levels. Once you have earned it, the game will tell you what it is and how to use it. You must press :ltbut: and :rtbut: at the same time when prompted on an enemy. Remember to press the buttons again when prompted during the move so you don't crash into the ground. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP4DqPk=.jpgLucky Number 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Achieve a 15 hit chain in a mission You should be able to get this when there are at least 5 enemies on the screen at once. Using only the :xbut: helps because you do minimal damage to enemies, therefore have more of a chance to land more attacks. This cannot be done on a bonus mission. By the last level you should be able to do up to 20 chain attacks at times. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-gzE+g==.jpgFeeling Shattered5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Break an enemy's armor The game will eventually introduce you to an enemy who has armor (like your Battleset). It will explain how to break it. Press :ybut: to do an armor breaking move. You will be able to include this into combos. An enemy with armor must have it removed before you can do any other attacks, and your Wingmen will not attack until the armor is gone. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPhTizo=.jpgMake a Splash 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Throw an enemy into the water To do this you must use the grab attack by pressing :bbut: when an enemy is targeted and locked onto. There must be water below or around you. Use the :rs: when the enemy is grabbed, and press it downwards to throw the enemy down into the water. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPmzc6k=.jpgLight'em up10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete Lighting The Way without a torch going out too early This mission is in the Forest Kingdom of Tyto (third one on the list). You must light all of the torches as fast as you can so that the game moves you to the next set of them. You'll have to ignore all enemies to be sure none of them go out. Lighting the last ones will end the mission. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP3xYMM=.jpgThe Journey 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Fly 100 Kilometers This is cumulative within all missions. You should gain this about midway through The Forest Kingdom of Tyto. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP1omQw=.jpgDodge'ems 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete Pure Retaliation without being hit by a turret This is the 5th mission in The Forest Kingdom of Tyto. There are turrets in the level that shoot slow and none of them really seem to be targeting you since you're on the move a lot. Grab the hot coals from the green allie flying around with the :abut: and then target a turret. Press :abut: twice to throw both coals to destroy a turret. Repeat this with the rest of the turrets. Now just complete the level to unlock the achievement. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/-3XFpg==.jpgTyto is Righto 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete the Forest Kingdom of Tyto Missions This is the second area with missions, and there are a total of 5 of them. Complete the missions below and you'll earn this achievement along with the bonus mission for this area. These missions should take you around 45 minutes to complete. 1. Pure Ones Pursuit 2. Resistance Evacuation 3. Lighting the Way 4. Fire Fight 5. Pure Retaliation http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPkqimY=.jpgFashionable Owl 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Wear 4 different Battlesets in missions You should have 4 different Battlesets by the end of Forest Kingdom of Tyto. To get these quick just enter into a bonus mission with one on, then exit. Switch your armor out and go back into the mission. You can also just complete missions with them, but for getting more gold medals on missions you may want to use the above method to stick with speed based Battlesets. |
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/+tcuXw==.jpgOwls of Derisive Laughter 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete Race to the Retreat in 4 minutes or less This is the first mission in The Glauxian Brothers Retreat. You must race through rings in a set course. Missing 6 rings will fail you the mission. It might take you one or two attempts to get good and used to it. You really should have the Diamond Dash Battleset equipped to go through this as fast as possible. There is a gold medal to beat this in under 3:00 minutes, but you should be able to do it in at least 2:45. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPo+p3Q=.jpgMax Power 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Equip a top quality Battleset There are two top quality Battlesets. The first one you will earn is called Burning Spirit. It costs 400 Shinies and you should gain this by the end the missions "A Curious Convoy" during the Glauxian Brothers Retreat area. The achievement will unlock when you purchase it (since it auto-equips.) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP-jUGo=.jpgPassive Aggressive 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete a mission using just wingmen After gaining the Burning Spirit battleset, feel free to revisit the first level in The Desert of Kuneer. There aren't many enemies here and it's a short mission. Anytime an enemy is going to attack you, follow the on-screen counter so that you can build your prowess meter. Once you can use a wingman, use it against the enemy you have targeted. Just make sure you don't actually launch an attack. Counters are okay, as they don't damage an enemy. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP3CWd8=.jpgPut the Win in Wingman 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Use your Wingmen 20 times You should play a mission with a good amount of enemies to use your wingmen against. You need to use them 20 times throughout one single mission. This is not accumulative within separate missions. To gain prowess to use the wingmen, defeat enemies, collect coins, and successfully counter attacks. With the Burning Spirit Battleset equipped you should gain this really fast. Just use the Battleset on the following level after you gain and equip it. Get the bar full to all three yellow bars with the icons green instead of red. Press the :rbbut: three times while targeting an enemy. This will count all uses and does not have to be on separate enemies. If you fail a mission and have to use a life, the amount of times the wingmen used will carry over to the next life, even if dealing with the same enemies. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/+zfWzA==.jpgDefeat the Hagsfiend Queen 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete the Glauxian Brothers Retreat Missions The third area in the game is called Glauxian Brothers Retreat and has 5 missions to complete for this achievement. 1. Race to the Retreat 2. A Curious Convoy 3. Shard to the Rescue 4. Battle at the Mine 5. The Queen's Game http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP9JkLk=.jpgLove the Smell 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Bomb 20 Turrets A turret can be any stationary weapon firing at you. Catapults and ballistae both count towards this. The bombing doesn't have to completely destroy the turret, just has to have hit it once to count. You will get this while plaything through the story if you attack every turret on every level. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPy7WIM=.jpgSold Out 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Buy all the Battlesets There are a total of 6 battlesets you must buy. Battlesets are earned as you beat missions and progress through the main storyline. Below is a list of the 6 battlesets that you will be earning and buying throughout the game. The training claws are automatic and do not have to be purchased. All sets will cost 1825 Shinies. You unlock all the last Battleset by the end of Glauxian Brothers Retreat Missions. You may not have enough to afford the last piece, so play through more missions and you should have enough by the end of the game. 1. Swift Steel: 150 Shinies 2. Valore Rose: 200 Shinies 3. Diamond Dash: 275 Shinies 4. Golden Heart: 300 Shinies 5. Burning Spirit: 400 Shinies 6. Iron Fortitude: 500 Shinies http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP6aUTY=.jpgBoy Are My Arms Tired 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Fly more than 200 kilometers You should have flown enough and have gotten this within the final level. If for some reason you, because you never died or never replayed missions, then move on to the bonus missions after the game is complete to earn this. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPsLg9M=.jpgVanquish the Evil 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete the game After you defeat the last boss, you will get the achievement for completing the game. The last area "The Beaks" has 5 levels which are the last missions in the campaign. Completing this set will also unlock the last bonus mission in the game. 1. No Owl Gets Left Behind 2. Defense Destruction 3. Breaking the Signal 4. Clawing Towards the Forge 5. Allomere's Fury |
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP6paCo=.jpgBoss Rush 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat any boss without losing a life There are 3 bosses in the game that you can get this achievement on. 1. The Chieftain Strikes (The Desert of Kuneer) 2. The Queen's Game (The Glauxian Brothers Retreat) 3. The Beaks (Allomere's Fury) The easiest boss is Allmoere, which is the last boss in the game. You should have the best battleset armor in the game, as far as health and defense go. Chase him after the initial portion of the mission, throwing hot coals at him to break down his armor. When you're fighting him, just keep attacking him. Whenever he throws you backwards, be prepared to hit either :xbut: or :ybut: when prompted. Follow up with attacks of your own. You will most likely not get hit much at all in this battle. You will have to beat every boss without dying in order to get all gold medals in missions, but this is the easiest fight to get the achievement. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPnMb04=.jpgOwlage 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Use the corkscrew on 20 enemies To use the corkscrew, you must press up on the :rs:. To actually hit an enemy with this move, it's easiest to use it as an enemy is lining up to attack you. Do this instead of countering. Also this will use prowess, so you'll only be able to use it when you have that built up. This might be one of the few achievements you don't get by the end of the game, but can get it while you play the bonus missions. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPyIYZ8=.jpgFree Flight 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Explore all five environments in the Bonus Missions for a short time Once you have completed the game, you will have unlocked all bonus missions, one per area. 1. Hoole Bonus Mission 2. Kuneer Bonus Mission 3. Tyto Bonus Mission 4. Retreat Bonus Mission 5. Beaks Bonus Mission You won't get this just by visiting each bonus mission, you must be participating in each of the tasks within them. You'll get this as you go for the scrolls and gold medals. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPveX+c=.jpgSee a Penny 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Collect 4200 Shinies You collect Shinies by defeating enemies and finding them throughout the level. The game wants you to collect 4200, though you will only need 1825 of that amount to buy the Battlesets. You do not have to be carrying all 4200 at the same time, though it has to be on one save file (aka obtained with one owl). After completing the story you should have collected around 2000 or so. After playing all of the bonus mission challenges, you should have gotten the achievement. If not, replay a survival mission. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPj5S+k=.jpgArt Appreciation 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Collect all the artwork There are a total of 25 pieces of artwork, 5 per bonus mission in the form of a scroll. While in a bonus mission, on the lower right side of your screen you'll notice an indicator as you fly around. It will be red and turn greener as you get closer to a scroll. Go through each bonus mission collecting these to get the achievement. Hit :back: whenever you want to check how many scrolls you have while in that specific bonus mission. |
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPwRmFA=.jpgSilver Lining 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Get all Silver medals See the "Gold,Shard, Gold!" achievement description. You do not have to get all bonus missions silver, just the story missions. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPrYQlw=.jpgGold, Shard, Gold! 75 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Get a Gold ranking in all story missions Before starting a story mission, the game will tell you what is required for a gold ranking. Meet those expectations, mostly dealing with beating the level in a certain amount of time. Equip Diamond Dash to go faster through levels, avoiding any enemies you can. For missions where you're mostly fighting (such as bosses where you can't lose a life) then equip the Iron Fortitude. The ranking is shown next to the level so you know what you've earned already in each mission. Click HERE for more help on these challenges. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPs4us8=.jpgBonus Gold 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Get a Gold ranking in all bonus missions For a gold ranking in a bonus mission, you must complete all of the tasks within with a gold status. The specific objectives are found on an allie shown with a green streak as they fly around and are shown on your radar. Fly to them and press :abut: when prompted to start a mission. It will show you what rank you have and what's required at that time. There are a total of 4 different types of objective missions. They are all pretty easy and should take you only a few attempts on any of them. Survival: You must fight off 5 waves of enemies. The time only counts down when the enemies appear on screen, and not while you wait for them inbetween. Use combos to get your flaming talons and this should be pretty easy. Owlet Rescue: These are the easiest of all the missions. Just remember to use corckscrew which is up on :rs: when you are on the return trip since you'll be flying the opposite direction and need that boost. Any enemies that attack you are easily avoided with a barrel role. Speed Flying: This is the most stressful of the events. You must fly through rings as you race to the finish. If you miss 3 rings you will have to try the whole thing over. Use corckscrew if you are flying slow or want a boost. You will gain lots of it while diving. Bombing: You must destroy all of the turrets within the area. Avoid all enemies to make short work of these missions. The game gives you plenty of time. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPhgsiY=.jpgNew Game + 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Continue playing after completing the game Start a new game from the main menu with a different owl than you used before. You needed to have completed the entire game on a previous save file for this to work. There are a total of 4 save slots, one per owl. This will essentially help you keep track of things. When you start a new game and are playing the tutorial, you will gain the achievement. Sadly nothing carries over, it's literally a new game. You will not want to overwrite your save file thinking things will stay unlocked. The new game will be from scratch. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UP96qaU=.jpgBird of a Different Feather 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png Complete the game as all Four Characters There are 4 save slots and 4 owls. Use a different owl in each save slot. When loading a game, the owl type is displayed at the top, as well as a picture of the owl. Every file should have a different looking owl with a different type. Nothing carries over from previous saves, so you will have to start over completely each time you play. It's a good idea to get all other achievements and just save this one for last, so you can rush through the game as quickly as possible. |
The guide is looking good so far. Will be gameflying this soon.:)

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...5/UPkqimY=.jpgFashionable Owl15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngWear 4 different Battlesets in missions you have no description and the wrong video uploaded for it. I just noticed you have it twice within your guide. |
I have a question about this achievement
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...5/UP96qaU=.jpgBird of a Different Feather 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.png Complete the game as all Four Characters I assume you just need to pass the missions and not worry about getting any type of medal right? Also do you need to do the bonus stages as well. |
Gliding with Style20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.png
i find out you can do in in a speed run to in bonus Missions |
Didn't know that, thanks for the info. I added it |
is it fun anyway ?
For "See A Penny", please note that you have to collect all 4200 shinies with the same owl. While completing the game 4 times for the other achievement, you will not get it. You'll probably have to run through a couple extra survival missions to get this one, once you've gotten 100% with one owl.
This game has broken achievements. I replayed the Pure Retaliation mission something like 8 times now, and neither Dodge'ems nor Love The Smell are unlocking. I must have destroyed over 50 turrets, and I didn't get either either at last half of those 8 times.
Anyone else have this issue?? |
Great! Thanks for this guide!
Good guide. Just wanted to check over the method for completing it with the four different owls. Picked my game up for £15 less than a week it has been out. Notice some retailers here in the UK are only stocking PS3 version, DS or Wii versions. At the moment, Amazon, ShopTo don't currently sell the Xbox 360 version.
For those on their next playthroughs, I would advise not skipping past too many enemies at the start, since you need to unlock the barge attack from so many defeats. I actually made it to the level where you are introduced to the barge attack but was unable to perform it, as I was 3 away from unlocking it. Since, only an armored enemy was on-screen, I had to quit out and play a bonus mission, get those extra kills and then have to start that particular mission again. :mad: |
This needs to be stickied up for a start, and get it published too. Easier to follow it since I only use my iPhone to follow guides!! Get it done ;)
Great guide mate, was frustrating to start with but when you get to grips with the controls its all good! Playing 4 times will be a drag though :(
Well I've done all but played with 4 owls, and I just cant be arsed!! Decent game though!!
i have to say playing it 4times wasnt so bad cos on the 4th owl i got mainly got gold medals jus had 4silver ..great guide thanx bud

Citibank Singapore
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (February 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Citibank Singapore Limited is a division of Citibank N.A. of the United States and incorporated in Singapore on 28 June 2004. Its parent was awarded Qualifying Full Bank (QFB) status on 20 October 1999, and this status was transferred to the Singapore division on the day of its incorporation. The bank has a shared automated teller machine (ATM) network with HSBC, State Bank of India, Maybank, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of China, and Standard Chartered called atm5.
The bank's headquarters are located at Asia Square. The main branch is at Capital Square at 23 Church Street. With the QFB status, the bank was entitled to open up to 25 branches, with up to ten from 1 January 2005. Back-end operations are concentrated in Changi Business Park.
Citibank established operations in Singapore on 1 July 1902. It was then known as the International Banking Corporation (IBC), and was the first United States bank to set up a branch in Singapore. Located at 1 Prince Street, IBC was primarily involved in the trade financing of Malayan rubber and tin exports in the early 20th century.
In the 1980s, Citibank was the first bank in Singapore to popularise the use of automated teller machines (ATMs). Committed to helping consumers achieve their financial goals, Citibank established its Global Consumer Banking division in 1982 to cater to the needs of individuals and small businesses. In the early 1990s it created Singapore's first telephone banking service which was manned 24 hours by CitiPhone officers.
Although a relative latecomer to the retail-banking sector, the bank has grown into a formidable market player with a major market share in key businesses including unsecured lending, deposits and investments and secured assets. Citibank was among the first four foreign banks to be awarded a Qualifying Full Bank (QFB) licence by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in 1999.
In June 2002 Citibank was the first QFB-licensed bank in Singapore to offer the Visa global debit service, and the following July it was the first in Singapore to introduce a debit card cashback scheme through the Visa platform. Called Citibank Instant Cash, the scheme allows customers who hold an International Citicard with the Visa point-of-sale debit feature to withdraw funds from their Citibank accounts when making purchase payments at retail locations.
Citibank Singapore[edit]
In June 2004, Citibank announced that it would be incorporating a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup in Singapore, known as Citibank Singapore Limited, with a paid-up capital of S$1.5 billion. This move, which saw Citibank becoming the first foreign bank to do so, came as part of Citibank's strategy to grow its international businesses and reaffirmed the bank's long-term commitment to the Singapore. The new entity began functioning on 1 January 2005.
Citibank International Personal Bank Singapore, or Citibank IPB Singapore, is a division of Citibank Singapore Limited that caters to people who want to invest in other countries through offshore banking. Currently Citibank IPB Singapore has one branch in Capital Square.

Perrysburg City Council has authorized a new building at RiverPlace Shopping Center and accepted a bid for the city's next sewer separation project.
The council voted recently to allow a new 4,600-square-foot building at RiverPlace on the corner of Eckel Junction Road and State Rt. 25. Half of the building will house a diner, and the other part will likely contain a restaurant or retail business.
Council accepted a bid of $469,531 from Underground Utilities, Inc., a firm in Monroeville, Ohio, for separation of sewers along Walnut Street between Second Street and Indiana Avenue.
A state grant of $262,150 will pay for part of the project.
The remaining funding will come from sewer rate revenue, assessments on property owners, and income tax revenue.

-To practice is to declare, I can be better. There are many full-stop moments in Practice Perfect--ideas so interesting that you can't help but pause for a second and consider them.-

We love competition, the big win, the ticking seconds of the clock as the game comes down to the wire. We watch games and cheer, but if we really wanted to see greatness we'd spend our time watching, obsessing on, and maybe even cheering the practice sessions instead. Practice Perfect puts the art of practice front and center. It shows that anyone, in any field, can come to appreciate that practice, not games, makes champions.
In Practice Perfect, the authors engage the dream of better. Filled with illustrative examples from top-level athletes, established teachers, seasoned lawyers, and even long-time surgeons, the authors show how deliberately engineered and designed practice can revolutionize our most important activities.
The -how-to- rules outlined in Practice Perfect can make us better in virtually every performance of life. The ideas are often counterintuitive, such as: don't concentrate on your weakness, practice what you are good at. To get you started on your path to -better- the authors have included a number of specific activities that will jump-start your way to practicing perfect.show more

Our customer reviews
(Once again, another wonderful thank you to Goodreads for providing me this copy)
Practice Perfect is in short a very helpful book about perfecting practising skills and evaluating progress throughout the practising process. Whilst this was definitely an insightful book about techniques that aid us to practice our skills in order to hone them, Practice Perfect may seem to some unnecessary to read if they possess common sense or average intellect.
The division of the book into 42 rules with each rules into chapters was impractical. The rules weren't really rules but tips (tips are useful hints whilst rules are things that need to be followed. The word "rules" to me imposes a certain feeling that EVERYthing in this book needed to be followed, almost laws and that really distracted me as I'm not a big follower of rules.) and these rules were sometimes very vague, gave some helpful advice on the matter it was discussing and were then supported by case studies. Sometimes these case studies were vague and barely understandable and the constant reference to what these teachers did and the experiments they did with their organisation felt almost as if that we should have read their respective books or attended their teacher training programs. The book should have been left into chapters and without the numbers to indicate that they are rules. The numbers as rules were distracting and didn't really help for my understanding. It was very disorganised and I think I would have loved if the rules were broken into sub chapters.
I know I am not the target audience for this book although there were aspects of this book that is related to almost anyone, actually, the book is dedicated to teachers, trainers or anyone in a teaching position. Though is is non fiction, the book still needed to identify itself to an audience and explain why things are. Basically, because of the number of authors, I felt that the writing was quite messy, all over the place and really needed to be tightened. There were also a lot of references to Doug's Teach Like a Champion which to me felt like advertising within a book and I wasn't comfortable with that. There were a lot of misplaced commas and missing commas so I had to re read the sentences just to make sure I understood what it was talking about.
Moreover, Practice Perfect was a great read the explanation/advice for each of the rules enlightened my approach on practise and how to have effective practise sessions in honing skills. However, because of the poor writing and disorganised sequence of information as well as vague case studies and constant advertisement for Lemov's book, I would have to give this book 3 stars. It was a wonderful read and it helped me understand what I was doing wrong, but really, I already knew all of it (well consciously anyway). This is recommended but if you're going to buy it, buy a used one, or better yet borrow it from the library.show more
