Hovland ATV trail moving along
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received 18 comments on the proposed 16-mile ATV trail in the Grand Portage State Forest during a public comment period from January 21 to February 25, 2013. Fifteen were in support of the trail, two expressed concerns about the trail, and one was simply a question.
A DNR grant of $3,000 to Cook County will help fund the completion of the trail.
While the trail was proposed by the Cook County ATV Club with support from the county, it will be available for many other uses, including hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, skiing, snowmobiling, and dog sledding.
The trail will use existing DNR forest system roads, minimum maintenance roads, and forest access routes in the Tom Lake Area of Hovland, including the Boyd Road, Irish Creek Road, and Tom Lake Road.
Members of the club will do most of the ongoing maintenance of the trail, with up to 90 percent of the costs eligible for reimbursement through the Minnesota Trail Assistance (grant-in-aid) program. The DNR obtains the funds it uses for ATV trails from ATV users themselves.
According to a summary of public comments, "Increasing participation in outdoor recreation activities is consistent with the DNR's strategic objective to 'connect people to the outdoors,' which includes motorized recreation."
One comment expressed a concern that if the trail were mapped for ATV use, more users from the Twin Cities would come to the area. The DNR acknowledged that mapping it as an ATV trail may attract more ATVers.
Other concerns regarded safety for dog sledders on the intersection of Boyd and Tom Lake roads and steep spots prone to washout along the Tom Lake Road. The DNR said the Boyd/Tom Lake intersection would be turned into a "T," making turning safer. It acknowledged that several washouts need repair and some brushing is needed, but despite the fact that the Tom Lake Road has been open to ATVers since 2007, it was not aware of any near collisions involving ATVs and cars along the proposed trail route.
ATV Club Trail Administrator Vilnis Neilands told the county board on April 16, 2013 that the ATV Club is impressed with the DNR's openness to this project. He said it will be a good investment for the county and expressed appreciation to the DNR. He pointed out that the DNR is safeguarding important wilderness elements through this project, for example, by building two bridges to protect beaver lodges along the route.

What Are Personal Savings?
- Two different methodologies are used to measure personal savings in the United States: the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce, and the Flow of Funds Accounts (FFA), produced by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
- NIPA methodology is more frequently cited by the media. Under this methodology, the number for personal savings is residual. It is derived by subtracting the following items from personal income: payment for income taxes and non-tax payments (called "disposable personal income"); personal consumption expenditures (what individuals spend on food, clothing, etc.); consumer interest payments; and personal transfer payments to foreigners.
- Key to understanding this methodology are the items the NIPA includes in personal income. These include: wage and salary disbursements; public and private employer contributions to pension and profit-sharing plans; individual contributions to pension and profit-sharing plans and individual retirement accounts; benefit payments from employment-based pension and profit-sharing plans; life insurance savings attributable to premiums paid; and transfer payments from the government (i.e, Social Security benefit payments, Supplemental Security Income benefit payments, etc.).
- NIPA does not include employee and employer contributions to Social Security in personal income. The employee share of the contribution to Social Security is deducted from wages and salaries. The employer share of the contribution is not regarded as received by the employee.
- FFA methodology differs from that used by NIPA in two ways: the treatment of consumer durables and the definition of personal income. The FFA treats the acquisition of consumer durables (i.e., automobiles, major household appliances, etc.) as a form of saving, whereas the NIPA treats expenditures on consumer durables as a component of personal consumption. The FFA has a slightly different definition of personal income. The FFA includes certain credits from government insurance programs and capital gains distributions. It is important to note that FFA does not include unrealized capital gains. For example, an individual purchases 10 shares corporate stock at $10 a share. The stock then increases to $30 a share. The increased value of the stock is not considered part of personal income until the individual sells the stock and realizes the capital gain.
- Whereas in the NIPA the number for personal savings is residual, in the FFA personal savings is a direct measure of the net acquisition of assets by households.

Dell G2210
Dell G2210
Macworld Rating
Dell has tapped into the current focus on the economy and the environment by producing the G2210, a 22-inch backlit LED display designed for both the wallet- and green-conscious. Dell claims the display is manufactured using recycled materials, and that its cabling is free of PVC and other harmful chemicals.
But the G2210 doesn't stop there when it comes to green features: It offers several energy modes, accessed through the display's on-screen controls. You get three choices (standard, energy smart, and energy smart plus) from which to select the level of brightness and energy consumption you want. When switched on, a built-in ambient light sensor detects the level of brightness in the room and adjusts the screen accordingly. After dimming the lights in the room, we noticed that the sensor did adjust the screen accordingly. When we turned the lights back on, the screen scaled back its brightness.
Jury tests
Text | Very Good |
Color Fidelity | Good |
Uniformity | Very Good |
Motion | Very Good |
Scale = Superior, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor
In our image quality tests, which were conducted at the standard energy setting, the G2210 showed easy-to-read text and nice color, though on some screens we saw some dullness in photos. The display adjusts vertically, but it does not pivot. The G2210 includes VGA and DVI connectors, but omits HDMI and DisplayPort. The screen has anti-reflective coating, so it is easy to view with ambient light sources and does not produce a glare.
Size | 22-inch |
Native Resolution | 1680 x 1050 |
Connections | VGA, DVI |
Viewing Angle | 170 |
Brightness | 250 cd/m2 |
Response Time | 5ms (typical) |
Contrast Ratio | 1000:1 |
Dimensions (height x depth x width in inches) | 16 x 6.2 x 20.2 |
Special Features | 3 energy modes; auto brightness adjust |
Warranty | 3 year |
Macworld's buying advice
Given its appealing price and its low energy consumption settings, the G2210 just might be the ideal choice for users seeking a solid display that can help curb overall costs.

4.30 / 5.00 5,290 Views((Update #3 We fixed lowered the download time a bit we won't get into how but we did and we added a wav to the Pokemon ending nothing major just somestuff we wanted to see fixed))
((UPDATE #2: We've recived Emails requesting to know when Our next cartoon will be out. If you would like to be added to the mailing list just send us a email and tell us.))
Let me first start out by saying sorry for the file size. As with the last DBZ this one starts off slow but the options are worth sticking around for. This one takes place right after the first although you don't have to of seen the first to really get this one. We Never intended to make a part two but many people didn't notice Harry Potter die, so in the new options there is no mistaking his fate this time. On a final note this is parody and not real to life or any cartoon it's just a Joke we hope it will be seen as that.
((If you have trouble hearing some of the voices turn your speakers up to about half way this seem to fix most problem. Oh and also we will try and respond to any and all reviews so if you write one you will get feed back asap))

I did a big stock-up shopping trip to Costco last weekend and I honestly thought about recording it and walking you through my trip and showing you how I shop. But then I remembered that I barely know what a vlog is and I'm ridiculous on camera, what with all the giggling and stammering and awkward pauses. We'll just ignore the fact that I had just been to the gym and hadn't washed my hair in two days.
However, I know how much y'all love Costco and I thought you might be interested to see what an average shopping trip looks like for our family. We do eat a LOT. We eat mainly whole foods, fresh produce, lean meats and very little dairy or grains. Our household consists of my husband and I, two toddlers boys who eat their body weight in food and my teenage brother who eats everyone's body weight in food.
- Spaghetti Squash – At right around $4.99 for two, this is a steal! I cut them in half, roast at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, remove the seeds and scrape out the squash "noodles". Perfect as a substitute for pasta!
- Mushrooms – These are a staple in our house. Diced, they help stretch a stew or chili. Sliced, they get sauteed almost every day and mixed in with some greens for a salad. The price is comparable to just about every grocery store out there.
- Bananas – We bought four bunches this time and the price? Are you kidding? Cheapest thing Costco sells, I'm pretty sure. If we can't end up using what we buy, I peel and freeze for smoothies.
- Spinach – This is possibly the largest bag of spinach I've ever seen and it's only about $4.50. I've seen bunches of spinach at the grocery store for around that price. We use it in green smoothies every morning, sauteed, in omelettes, every where that green stuff should be.
- Onions – Because $.39/lb is mad crazy cheap and if I keep the ginormous bag in the garage, they keep forever.
- Brussels Sprouts – Everyone in my family has declared animosity towards these buggers, but I'm determined to keep trying. Next on the list is Brussels Sprouts, Apple and Avocado Slaw.
- Bell Peppers – I normally don't buy these at Costco because I balk at paying over $1 per pepper when my kids can annihilate them in 37 seconds. I found these 6-pack bags on instant rebate and the giant peppers ended up being $.87 each. Score.
- Frozen Strawberries and Blueberries – Costco's frozen fruit selection is fantastic and really well-priced. Both of these fruits are priced well under $2/pound and are delicious. We use them every morning in our green smoothies, occasionally we add their frozen pineapple as well.
Other Items From Around the Store
- Nutiva Coconut Oil – I have never in my life found a cheaper price per ounce for coconut oil that is actually worth a darn. Nutiva makes a great organic oil that is minimally processed and tastes delicious. It's right around $.30 per ounce, which is unheard of just about anywhere else on the planet. We use it for baking, roasting, smoothies, cooking eggs, greasing pans and muffin tins, saving the world.
- Eggs – It's hard to beat Costco's price per dozen. If I have extra money in the grocery budget (which is never), we pick up their organic eggs as well. We go through approximately 172 dozen per week between make-ahead breakfast muffins, gluten-free baking (these people use a TON of eggs) and our daily breakfasts.
- Half and Half – At around $3 per half gallon, I rarely find this cheaper anywhere else (and barely try, to be honest). I use about one carton per week in my homemade coffee creamer (either Chocolate Almond or Date Caramel Vanilla).
- Cottage Cheese – While we don't have a whole lot of dairy in our house, this is definitely one of our fridge staples. I use it everyday as a salad dressing and my kids eat small bowls for lunch on occasion. The only time I find it cheaper is when it's a generic store brand and it's JUST NOT THE SAME.
This is a pretty standard trip for us. A few things that are missing are organic carrots, raw almonds and organic maple syrup as we had plenty of these in the house already. On occasion we will pick up their organic diced tomatoes and tomato paste as well.
For more Costco favorites of mine, click here. Don't forget to take advantage of the last few days of this month's home mailer coupons, they run through the 23rd of February.
Do you have any amazing brussels sprouts recipes?

5. Take your children with you in the world.
When my own daughter was born, none of our good friends had babies yet, so we ended up carting our newborn all over the place with us — on camping trips, out to dinner in the city, to rooftop parties and travels via plane and car. At the time, it wasn't a parenting "choice" — it was a survival tactic! — but as a result Isabella, now 10, is totally comfortable talking to adults, loves to travel, and is usually very well-behaved in any restaurant.
My friend Courtney Cachet, a designer, TV personality, BettyConfidential contributor and mom of two (phew!), is one of the most motivated self-starters I have EVER met. She also believes in the importance of a worldly education. "Being self-sufficient is the greatest sense of freedom and independence; it's not just about money," she says. "Speaking other languages, being well educated and cultured are equally important components of self sufficiency. I've always been like that and it makes you fearless, to a certain degree. I believe all of that leads to a much greater chance of success — both personally and professionally in life."
6. Let them make decisions.
"My parents allowed us to make many of our own decisions about friendships and life choices and never micro managed our homework," shares my childhood friend Sara, who has one stepchild and one baby on the way. "At times I found this so aggravating, especially when I wanted the advice and to just have someone else make the decision for me, but looking back I am very grateful for it. It also kept me out of a lot of trouble because I knew whatever decision I was making was my own and was something I would have to live with, and it made me terrified of disappointing them and losing their respect!"
What do you think is most important when it comes to kids and independence?

CranAssure(R) Survey Finds Girl Gab Among Celebrities, Everyday Women Centers Around Sex, Family and Health
Lifestyle Coach and Celebrity Psychotherapist Offers Simple Guidelines for
May 31, 2007, 01:00 ET from Pharmavite LLC
NORTHRIDGE, Calif., May 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrities like Carrie Ann Inaba from "Dancing with the Stars," Jennie Garth from "What I Like About You," Leah Remini from "The King of Queens," Natasha Henstridge from "Commander in Chief" and Misty May-Treanor an Olympic Gold medalist in beach volleyball say they discuss family, sex and health with friends. And, a recent poll by CranAssure(R), a new urinary tract health supplement that contains maximum strength cranberry extract from Ocean Spray(R), also finds women consult girlfriends about sexual and health-related concerns. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070531/LATH053 ) "Women are active information seekers, particularly when it comes to managing their health and that of their families," says lifestyle coach and psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser, M.A., M.F.T. "Women often consult informal sources, such as family and friends, who provide advice, validation and support." While Kaiser agrees that friends can be great confidants, she stresses the importance of following the basics to obtain peak sexual and urinary tract health. "Urinary tract health isn't something we think about every day," said Kaiser. "But if not properly maintained, poor urinary tract function may negatively impact overall health." The National Kidney Foundation reports one in five women will need urinary tract health support at least once in her lifetime and 10 million doctor visits are made yearly to address urinary tract health concerns.

Marcio in Ipswich, Mass.: Could we get some news on One Tree Hill or Melrose Place? Will they both stick around?
Nope. I'm told Melrose Place is pretty much a goner. It would take a miracle for it to survive at this point. However, the jury's still out on One Tree Hill. The ratings in the next few weeks do matter, and it returns with a new episode tonight. (Hint, hint.)
Jenelle from Conn.: Yay! One Tree Hill is back tonight! The death of Haley's mom made for such a great episode! What happens after?
Well, when we talked to James Lafferty, he had this to say: "Haley has a long road ahead of her in dealing with her mother's death, as anybody would. A big part of the Scott family life will be dealing with the grief. It's definitely a growing experience for the family." Another tease? Here's the deal with Nathan for the rest of the season: "He's finally got some time to spend with his family, and his family at this point in their lives really needs him," James tells us. "He really gets the opportunity to be a father and a husband." Model husband and father? Adorable.

7.19 Every Picture Tells a Story Reaction
Posted by Amy with 61 Comments
Whoo Hoo!! Tonight felt so great. It's been too long since I live-blogged an episode of One Tree Hill but it's back!
Here's my take:
- While I like feisty Brooke, I also liked the Brooke we saw tonight. Commanding yet compassionate. I'm glad she's happy and her and Julian seem like they're on a good path. Hopefully there's nothing around the corner!
- The sex tape. So at the end and at the previews we find out Josh IS behind the whole deal but apparently it's spiraled out of control. And apparently Josh is gay?? What the heck is going on? Did he want it leaked so everyone wouldn't know he was gay?
- TMI with Victoria and Alexander. I think I'm over that. If they try to make their relationship serious, I may seriously throw up. Little gag reflex with the big reveal. Didn't you love Brooke's reaction when the curtain came down?
- Nathan is always super cute as a doting father but I wasn't a big fan of the Kiss moment. But I don't want to dwell on that because the shaving and reading moments were really cute. Speaking of Nathan as a father, it simply melted my little heart when Nathan told Haley he wanted another baby!! Super squeeee!!!! A Naley baby!
- Let's talk about Haley. My heart broke for her when she went into the ugly cry at the pool. While it was the "ugly cry" it wasn't ugly. It was a beautiful ugly cry. Does that make sense? In other words, Haley acted her butt off. I simply can not imagine losing my mother and whatever dark period she goes through, I don't hold it against her for one second. Bless her heart.
- While I feel bad for Skills, I'm all Team Mouth and I just hope Skills and Mouth can make up eventually.
- Katie. Psycho Nanny 2.0 or is it Psycho Derek 3.0? She's lost her mind. I'd really just like her arrested already somehow and kicked out of Tree Hill but it looks like we're going to have to ride another psycho out. I hope we survive!
- Finally I fully enjoyed Quinn. She looked smoking hot tonight and I loved that she had to do. I like happy Quinn!
Overall I felt like this was a solid episode, probably one of my favorites of Season 7.

Clay: So you don't think I'm weird?
Quinn: All I know is that if I could see my mom, I would stay up all night talking to her.
Brooke: Mother, another button please? The slutty milf look is sooo not you!
Josh: Please do your job: keep my trailer stocked with red vines and lube!
Julian: Hey Christian Slater, calm down!

Nathan: Nope, me!
Jamie: Is this how you got mom?
Nathan: It took a lot more than a close shave to get your mom.
Jamie: Really?
Nathan: When I met your mom I wasn't the nicest guy in the world. I was selfish and fought a lot, but your mom made me better. Your mom made Uncle Lucas good too.
Jamie: It must've been so cool having a brother…it's like having your best friend over at your house all the time!
Nathan: You gotta remember Uncle Lucas and I weren't really close when we were your age, but yeah, having a brother is like having an automatic best friend.
Nathan: Can I ask you a favor? Even though she doesn't show it all the time your mom is still very sad that your grandma died.
Jamie: Yeah.
Nathan: So I need you to keep an eye on her to make sure she's not too sad…be the man of the house.
Jamie: Okay.

EOnline: Bubble Talk With One Tree Hill's Robert Buckley
Posted by Amy with 10 Comments
Rob knows about the basketballs!!
Frantic fans have been known to do everything in their power to save their shows. Roswell watchers sent 3,000 bottles of Tabasco to the WB network execs. CBS programmers received 20 tons of peanuts from those desperate to save Jericho. And Chuck was kept on the air in part because of viewers purchasing foot-long sandwiches from product-placement sponsor Subway.
So what are One Tree Hill fans sending to the CW to save their show? Robert Buckley (Clay) tells us…
"I didn't know this, but apparently fans are sending in basketballs to the CW. That's not easy to send a basketball!" laughs OTH new dude Buckley. "You have to make a big effort to send an object that awkward and big in the mail. I was really surprised, because that's not a cheap or easy thing to do. But apparently they're sending basketballs to the CW powers that be."

Zap2it: 'One Tree Hill': James Lafferty talks Nathan and Haley, Season 8 possibility
Posted by Amy with 9 Comments
After a few months on hiatus, "One Tree Hill" returns this Monday (April 26) with the final four episodes of Season 7.
As of now, the series has not yet been renewed for an eighth year, so what happens in these next few hours should be interesting.
Korbi TV caught up with "OTH" star James Lafferty (Nathan Scott) to get a little scoop on what we can expect…
Last we saw Nathan, his mother-in-law had just lost her battle with cancer. Will much of your upcoming storyline revolve around Nathan helping Haley and Jamie through that loss?
JL: It's actually Nathan and Jamie helping Haley through it. She's obviously the one that's hit the hardest by [her mother's death]. Her and [her sister] Quinn. So it's something that is going to pull the Scott family unit tighter.

Herman Melville's reputation seesawed from popularity to obscurity and back again over much of his lifetime and beyond, but now his position is secure as one of America's greatest authors. Best known now for his masterpiece novel Moby-Dick (1851). Melville first became popular as a writer in the 1840s for his novels of adventure in the South Seas: Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847). Born in New York City in 1819, Melville had been attracted to the sea and ships at a young age. and his first two novels, fictional romances inspired by his own seagoing adventures, were warmly received by readers.
After his early success with Typee and Omoo, Melville disappointed his audience with his third novel, Manii (1849). which took a philosophical and metaphysical turn away from his previous narratives. More conventional sea novels Redburn (1849) and White-Jacket (1850) - his attempts to win his audience back - briefly appeased his...

Boffin seeks $300,000 to build eight-wheel 230mph EV
Have Gerry Anderson's lawyers been informed?
Posted in Science, 20th January 2009 12:02 GMT
'Leccy Tech Plug-in hybrids, extended-range electric vehicles, pure electric roadsters - all well and good, but what we really want is an electric eight-wheel hyper-car that's good for 230mph on the open road.
So that would be the Eliica - or the Electric LIthium-Ion Car - Satanic brainchild of Japanese boffin Dr Hiroshi Shimizu, a man who has apparently been messing about with 'leccy cars for over 20 years and has clearly seen one too many episodes of Thunderbirds.
There's something of Captain Scarlet's SPV about it too.
Eliica: inspired by Thunderbirds?
Each of the Eliica's eight wheels is driven by a 60kW (80bhp) electric motor which can propel the monster to a top speed of 230mph. Operating range on an overnight charge is said to be around 200 miles.
Shimizu and his team at the Electric Vehicle Laboratory at Japan's Keio University plan to capture the world speed record for a road-legal production car with the Eliica.
The current record stands at either 253.81mph, reached by the Bugatti Veyron, or 256.18mph, notched up by the Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero TT, depending on your definition of the word "production".
Or maybe Captain Scarlet
According to recent statements, Shimizu would like to get his hands on enough corporate sponsorship to build 200 Ellicas, each of which would then sell for the princely sum of of ¥30m ($332,100/£233,400/€255,400). We wish him the very best of luck.
"Parker, bring the Eliica around would you."
"Yus, m'lady." ®

So, the review embargo has lifted and there's scores ranging from 7 to 9.2/10
We gave it 9/10 - http://www.psu.com/a018637/God-of-War--Ascension-Review
What I don't understand is, what do people want from a game these days? There's no way on this Earth it should get a 7. GoW: Ascension isn't the best game in the series, but it is a brilliant game in its genre.

Awesome work sir! I'm so hyped for this game!!!
03-07-2013 #3
Yes I know. All the German reviews were pretty bad. But "giga" and "GamePro" and "Gamestar" (these are the names of the channels) aren't that good anyway.
Even Adam Sessler from Rev3Games $#@!ed about it "being the same" or something like that, yet when he got to play the demo a few weeks ago, he was enthusiastic and said "finally the series has realized that the focus should lie on the blades, not some secondary weapons I get from bosses". LOL and now everybody seems to be comlaining that there's elements for the blades, not other weapons? I mean are you $#@!ing kidding me?
And then there's this "OMG it's a prequel, that suckzzzz!!!" argument. Well, it's not an argument.
Whatever. I don't need some guys on youtube to tell me that GOW is good or bad. I know what it is, I've played it since day 1 and Ascension seemed better than any other GOW in the demo. PSU seems to be the only one to give the game a good score. You know, technically, If 10 is the best score, then 0 has to be the worst. That means that 5 has to be the average. 7 would be a great game on a 0-10 scale. But nowadays most people rate between 7 and 10. 7 being "bad" and 10 being "great".
03-07-2013 #4
Nice review Steven. Sounds like another epic installment. I was surprised by scores on other sites, probably getting docked a point or two for being samey I guess.
I noticed some sites complain that Kratos a little more human/"nice" in this one? I thought everyone hated how obscenely angry he usually is lol

I dont even know who 90% of the review sites are.. so I just pretend they dont exist. I got preordered so I was initially worried it wasnt that great, thankfully PSU made it seem half decent. (PSU seems to have tastes on par with my own XP)

How long is the storyline? I enjoyed GOW3 just wish the storyline was longer. The demo from Ascension didn't disappoint; reminded me of GOW3.

A 7 is supposed to be a good score. If the game feels like more of the same, but still done well, that's probably what I would give such a game as well.
This is the sixth God of War game (not including the 2D mobile game) and the formula is still exactly the same. If fans are fine with that, then good scores should be enough to inspire a purchase.Last edited by Ixion; 03-07-2013 at 21:20.
03-07-2013 #12
I agree.
But comparing this to any game that's like this out there then it has to be a 9 for me, samey or not. I've played less than a handful of games that are as good as this in the last year. 7 out of 10 would be doing it injustice

Reviewing games like that causes too many problems, A gamer my not buy a game based on the score because he believes its worse then the previous titles, when in fact it better and the reviewer has marked it down for being what it is
Now I know innovation is needed but its gonna get to point when games like of MGS/GOW or even the new Tomb Raiders quality will be getting 2's because of lack of innovation
In fact I reckon Tomb Raider 2 will victim to this nextgen, regardless of its quality same with Uncharted 4 or Killzone 4, games that are new ips will maybe receive higher scores even though their quality don't match the older ips
I think you should review the product for its quality and not look for something it ain't
If the game is the best in the series like GOWA is said to be then it has succeeded and shouldn't be ranked lower

Mainly saying it's the same, feels like it has no purpose, nothing really new etc...
Yet the same websites give halo/COD and AC 9 or 10 out of 10 every time and call it innovative.
03-08-2013 #19
That's what I said. But the review sites use the "new" scale, so a 7 is "bad". I know, a 7 would be great on my (or everybody who's got some common sense) scale, but because it was rated using the idiotic "new" scale, it means it's not that good in their opinion.
But look at the reviews... they're biased, unfair and the reviewers are incompetent. Some don't even know what the hell they're talking about.

Majority of these $#@!tard reviewers will only kiss the ass of the companies that prolly give them more free $#@! or lets their fanboy favoritism take over.

For me 7s are "ok", and generally indicate the game is a bargain bin buy (unless the game is rare in that case spending more cant be helped), 8s are generally $40 and up, 9s are pretty much "buy whenever", and 10s just dont exist in my book. (Use this only for games im interested in, many games I dont bother with and usually I wait for user feedback not reviews)
PSU uses the 100 point scale, not the 10. And based on the past review scores, it wasnt there favourite in the series. (Asension got a 9, while every other GoW title reviewed got a 9.5)Last edited by Fenix; 03-08-2013 at 09:38.

Even worse. How can you really be that specific? What differentiates an 87 from an 86 and so on?
Graded reviews are BS anyway. Most of the time, a reviewer already has a number in mind and then composes the review to match that number. Should just write thoughts about what was good and what was bad about the game, and the reader should judge from that whether that's something he's interested in, not by some arbitrary number, whose meaning is entirely different from one source to the next.

Resistance 3 and Halo Reach: A Journey
Resistance Fall of Man was my first PS3 game and my first FPS that was not Perfect Dark. At the time Resistance was the sh**t! Well, for me it was. Then I fell into the world of Halo 2.

Mercer University to Host Forum on China's Energy Policies
Media Contact:Mark Vanderhoek(478) 301-4037 or (800) firstname.lastname@example.com Contacts:Ed Krebs(770) 949-5112 firstname.lastname@example.com Penelope Prime (678) 547-6235 firstname.lastname@example.com
ATLANTA — China, with a 10 percent annual growth and rapid industrialization and infrastructure expansion, is increasing energy use at unprecedented rates. American consumers are already feeling those increases at the gasoline pumps as China's growth increases demand — and prices — for the world's oil supplies. As these forces continue, where will China place itself?
A forum, to be held this Sunday on Mercer University's Atlanta campus, entitled "China's Energy Policy: Implications for International Affairs and Economic Development," will seek to answer that question. The forum will begin at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 22, in Room 220 of the Business-Education Building on Mercer's Atlanta Campus, 3001 Mercer University Drive, Atlanta. The forum is jointly sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the US-China Peoples Friendship Association and the China Research Center. The event is free and open to the public.
This forum will touch on three important areas: the impact of China's economic development and government development policy on energy use and options; the international relations implications of energy policies and pressures; and domestic opinion and politics of these energy issues.
Panelists for the forum include: Penelope B. Prime, professor of Economics and Business at Mercer University and director of the China Research Center; Yawei Liu, director of The China Program at The Carter Center and associate professor at Georgia Perimeter College; and John W. Garver, professor at The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology
China is already the second largest economy in the world after the U.S., and the second largest consumer of energy. It is projected that this growth path will mean a 150 percent increase in energy needs by 2020. Oil consumption alone was expected to increase by nearly half a million barrels per day in 2006, representing over a third of the world's increase.
This process will, of course, put additional pressure on energy supplies and prices around the world. In addition, China's foreign policy will need to take energy needs into consideration. Further, citizens in China and beyond are increasingly concerned about the environment, and how to develop in a more sustainable way than has been accomplished so far.
For more information on the forum, contact Ed Krebs at (770) 949-5112 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Penelope Prime at (678) 547-6235 at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Teaching English as a Global Language in Smart Classrooms with PowerPoint Presentation
The current study, as part of an ongoing investigation to examine teacher perceptions about the teaching of English as a global language at the tertiary level education, aims at examining learner perceptions about PowerPoint presentations used in English classroom instruction for enhancement and integration of four language skills and effective use of PowerPoint presentation as a teaching technique in smart classroom settings. A classroom action research and a questionnaire survey were conducted in a class consisting of 50 learners of Preparatory Year English Programme at Jazan University, Saudi Arabia. The results showed that learners preferred PowerPoint Presentations over traditional methods of lecture delivery and had positive attitudes towards PowerPoint presentations and lecturers who use them in their lessons. The result of this study conforms to previous studies to find the efficacy of PowerPoint presentations in university classroom instruction.

Facebook crashes my phone -.-So. I have an iPhone 3GS running on 4.3.4 I think. Everytime I delete the Facebook app and try to update it, it screws up. It'll stop loading all together, then my phone will freeze and stay frozen until I forcefully shut it down. Once I do that though, it hangs at the start up screen. It only does this with the Facebook app too. This is the third time it's happened and it causes me to restore the phone. Am I the only one with this problem or does someone else have this issue?
Also is there a way out of it? Besides restoring? -.-No confundas mi personalidad con mi actitud. Mi personalidad es quien soy yo, mi actitud depende de quien seas tú.

Thread: Sea Island Cotton |
This fragrance is stellar. I love to wear this fresh out of the shower at nite before i go to bed or when i want to smell comfy. I this BBW really did a good job switching from the old cotton blossom to this new interpretation. Very fresh clean and comforting. try it
I am glad that you like it. I work part-time at a Bath & Body Works store, and I think that Sea Island Cotton is a great improvement over Cotton Blossom, which was still pretty good. I have a body spray, and I like to use it as a room fragrance, linen spray, pillow mist, whatever. I think that the orange blossom is dialed back a bit, so it is lighter, not as sweet, not as floral.
However, much to my dismay, it seems that every customer with whom I have spoken prefers CB, absolutely hates SIC, and is very angry about the switch.
I always thought that CB would be more successful than it turned out to be, because that dryer-sheet idea is so popular in perfumery right now. Fresh, for instance -- how much mileage can they get out of this already? And Demeter Laundromat. But I have not been able to convert anyone to this concept.

The manipulation of human genes could lead to profound advances in our ability to cure or prevent terrible diseases. But in some cases, it might also mean introducing genetic material that could be passed from one generation to the next, changing the human gene pool in a manner that could inadvertently harm peoples' health.
Such "inheritable" DNA is a hotly debated issue among bioethicists, and one that an advisory committee of the Food and Drug Administration is set to review as it considers whether human trials should be allowed for a new therapy that could prevent a rare but devastating inherited disorder.
Mitochondrial disease involves the specialized compartments within human cells that are responsible for creating most of the energy needed by the body. When a person's mitochondria are faulty, the resulting disorder can be disabling or fatal, with symptoms that can include loss of motor control, muscle weakness and pain, cardiac or liver disease, seizures, respiratory difficulty and susceptibility to infection. It is passed on to a child through the mother's mitochondria.
Researchers working with animals have devised a possible solution. A donor egg with healthy mitochondria is used, but the nucleus is removed and replaced with the nucleus from an egg of the afflicted mother; the egg is then fertilized in vitro. Because all but a minuscule amount of human DNA is contained in the nucleus, the child would be almost entirely the genetic offspring of the original couple. But because a bit of genetic material comes from the donor's mitochondria, the procedure is sometimes called "three-parent IVF."
... If approved, it would be the first time scientists were changing the genetic material of humans in a way that could be passed down through the generations.
The European Union takes a dim view of research that aims to change the genes of future generations. Although researchers in Oregon successfully produced several rhesus monkeys using the mitochondrial procedure, an attempt to use the same process to create human embryos resulted in half of the eggs undergoing abnormal fertilization. Such embryos would certainly not have been implanted in a human trial.
Critics also point out that the monkeys born through the procedure have not yet reproduced or lived out their life cycles. What if problems show up later in their lives, or in their offspring?
Considering these caveats, it seems far too early for the FDA to even consider allowing human trials. But it should encourage researchers to continue exploring the keys that might unlock gene-based cures. It is vital to proceed with extreme caution on research that involves possible permanent changes in the human genome, but it also would be a shame to shut off all hope of preventing suffering because of possibly unfounded fears about gene-based cures.

Affordable Headphone Amp
Our drummer had been having monitoring issues at a number of our recent shows. In particular venues with knackered monitor systems and less than enthusiastic engineers. As a result we decided to but a basic in ear monitoring system of which the ART MyMONITOR forms the backbone. The ART MyMONITOR is simple to set up and works well in all live performance environments. With a simple monitor feed from the front of house desk our drummer is now able to control his own levels without having to deal with the engineer. This allows complete flexibility and gives noticeable results. The ART MyMONITOR is small, easy to use and incredibly good value. The ART MyMONITOR was recommended to us by a professional engineer who used it on a Robert Plant tour in 2007. With that sort of endorsement you can't go wrong. Now all we have to do is team the ART MyMONITOR up with a nice pair of in ear monitors...

Trying to play mandolin on stage with a band, I often wish I could hear myself, especially when improvising. I've just bought on of these Art "My Monitor" personal headphone monitors, and although it takes a bit of extra setting up, I can now hear exactly what I'm playing without affecting anyone else's mix. And if necessary I can monitor the main mix at the same time! Brilliant! No more frantic signals to sound engineers to "turn me up". Obviously not as good as professional in-ear monitoring, but at the price it does the trick!

Sweetgreen continues its domination of the DC salad scene with another location coming to 2238 M St, NW next to the West End Bistro.
I'm also starting to hear rumors of more locations…

sweetgreen is no bueno. i'd prefer a chop't or a mediterranean chipotle (cava mezze) on u street.
I used to love Sweet Green, but with their (fast) growth, it often seems that the quality and customer service have gone down. I'm not too picky, but the stuff doesn't seem as fresh anymore nor do the employees seem as excited to work there as they once did.
that said, I'm happy for any business growth and creation of jobs.
Rumors of more locations? Where, PoP? Don't leave us hanging…
Progression Place, please?
Would love to have one in Columbia Heights so we can have some healthy fast food options.
It would be welcome in Columbia Heights, but there also is Cava Mezze. I've been very happy with salads from there.
sweet green is my favorite salad spot.
Chopt > Sweetgreen.
Gotta agree. Sweetgreen's got a salad similar to Chop't's Sante Fe, but for $1.50 more and no cheese. No cheese!! What's the world without a little PepperJack?
I don't mind Chop't (anywhere I can get a salad quickly and to go is a win in my book as a traveling musician), but I've personally always preferred Sweetgreen. I think it's just a matter of taste, but I like their ingredients and dressings better. SG is also founded by former Georgetown students, right?
yep, 2 Georgetown MBA's, I believe. Both make good salads, but Chopt has more options, and I like that all the lettuce and fixins are neatly sliced with that half moon chopper thing. Sweetgreen serves Honest Tea though, so there's that….luckily, I have both near my workplace 😀
I've never had Sweetgreen's salad, but I liked their frozen yogurt options.
adams morgan needs a salad place, some people live around there and want some non-drunk food options.
I abhor Sweet Green. And you're right…they aren't as fresh as they once were. Always cuttings costs and quality. The bread they served when they first opened was fantastic – it really set them apart. Now they use a comparatively icky one. And yes, employee quality is down too. Plus what's with their stupid marketing slogan.."Food…aligned with your values." What the fu&* does that mean? What values? You can get some pretty unhealthy salads packed with dead animals pieces, artery clogging cheese, and pesticide sprayed produce which pollute the entire universe. Great "values" huh? Plus the percentage of "local" and "organic" items used is very small. They do have some good marketing folks though trying to make you think they are different…nice try..not buying it.

The Big Dipper looms overhead. We gaze up at the sky, and there it is: a shooting star. It's a good omen. We are going to have a fabulous summer. Ten minutes later, back to work. The crew picks up crescent wrenches, tightens harnesses, and climbs back up — just another night of focusing lights at the Utah Shakespearean Festival (USF). Ten years ago, I was asked to design the lighting for the productions in the outdoor Adams Shakespearean Theatre, one of the most authentic Elizabethan- style ...
