Raw chicken stored next to avocados and hand sinks used for dumping mop water and food preparation contributed to an average of about 3.6 critical violations found at local restaurants in the past year, instances that can contribute to food-borne illness.
The local health-department average represents a slight increase over the same period last year, which through a prior Columbine Courier analysis found less than 3.5 critical violations per restaurant in South Jeffco.

This time around was supposed to be different for Saint Mary.
This time around was supposed to be different for Saint Mary.
For the second straight year, the Spires men's basketball team earned a sport in the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball Championship tournament down in Point Lookout, Mo.
After getting bounced in the opening round of the competition last season, USM felt more prepared this go-around. They were more experience, more successful and more accustomed to the bright lights of the national spotlight.
Yet, all that was for naught. Late Wednesday night, Saint Mary went cold offensively against Saint Xavier, Ill., in the event's first round and paid the price to the tune of an 82-60 defeat.
"We made the same mistakes that we did last year," USM coach Jon Bishop said. "We came out tight and couldn't make shots when we were open."
Poor shooting dogged the Spires all game. At half, the squad faced a 36-28 deficit and that was nearly tripled in the second period as Xavier filled up the buckets.
Xavier shot 49 percent from the floor and had five players record double-digit point totals. On the flip side, Saint Mary shot just 31 percent from the floor, went 7-for-28 from the 3-point line (a 25-percent clip) and had 15 turnovers.
"We got impatient and that bad offense led to bad defense," Bishop said. "That has been our M.O. at times this year and it happened again last night."
Matt Heydman finished with a USM-high 18 points while Shiron Williams added 10, Chip Schneider had eight and Kevin Harvey had seven.
USM finished the season 22-9 overall, 16-2 in league and KCAC regular season champs ― its first league crown since 2001.
"Our program took a step in the right direction this year," Bishop said. "Our program got better than it was last year. And even though we have a sour taste in our mouths right now, it was a good year. We had a great run, a great team and no one can take that away from us."

La Grange residents voted to make the city "wet" by a more than 2-to-1 margin Tuesday, with more than 1,000 voters casting ballots.
Of those voters, 751 voted for expanding alcohol sales in La Grange and 338 voted against.
It is unknown what percentage of registered voters participated, according to Oldham County Clerk Julie Barr, because many of the voting districts extend beyond city limits.
Barr said the only way to determine how many total registered voters are within La Grange city limits would be to manually tally them for each of the nine districts.
La Grange Mayor Bill Lammlein said he didn't expect the vote to be so decisive.
"I'm happy that it passed," he said, "but I'm surprised it passed by that big a margin."
There is a 60-day moratorium on issuing alcohol licenses, giving city officials time to draft a revised ordinance and otherwise prepare for the changes.
After that period, La Grange business owners will have the option to apply for several new licenses — one allowing beer-only sales and one allowing wine-only sales.
The current liquor-by-the drink regulation will stay in effect as it is, Lammlein said, requiring restaurants to have at least 100 seats and make 70 percent of sales from food items in order to serve liquor.
However, the beer-only and wine-only licenses will be available to smaller restaurants.
Beer-only licenses have no seating or food-to-drink requirements. Wine-only licenses have a 50-seat requirement and 50 percent of sales must be from food.
There will also be a limited number of licenses available for package liquor stores — likely three, based on La Grange's population.
Grocery and convenience stores will be permitted to sell beer if they have at least $5,000 in other inventory.
Lammlein believes the expansion will help La Grange's economy by both encouraging tourism and by keeping local money in the local economy.
La Grange resident Brian Crase said Lammlein is right.
"Walmart and Kroger in La Grange will start getting our grocery shopping," he said.
Crase said he has shopped in Jefferson County since moving to La Grange eight years ago because he preferred to not make multiple trips.
But more than 300 residents voted against the measure, with many worried about increased drunken driving.
"More people will be killed or put in the hospital because of drunks," said Jill Mac, who graduated from Oldham County High School this spring.
Mac said she is disappointed in her fellow citizens and doesn't understand why they would want to "contaminate" La Grange with more alcohol.
Lammlein said he believes people will adapt to the change like they did when the city became moist in 2003.
"I think it's going to be OK," he said. "When we went moist, people were all doom and gloom but it's been fine."

Caren Kemner of Quincy, Ill., a former world champion volleyball player and three-time Olympian, shared her experiences on Monday, July 15, and advised parents of current athletes about training and injuries.
Caren Kemner of Quincy, Ill., a former world champion volleyball player and three-time Olympian, shared her experiences on Monday, July 15, and advised parents of current athletes about training and injuries.
She spoke at the Protecting Young Athletes' Health for the Future program at Hannibal-LaGrange University, sharing the program with Dr. Kathy Turpin, senior director of sport drug testing for Drug Free Sport.
The program was presented by the Blessing Health System and Hannibal Regional Healthcare System, which also provided booths with health-related information at HLGU's Roland Fine Arts Building.
Kemner's 20-year professional volleyball career has evolved into new sports-related positions. After moving back to her native Quincy, she became director of the Riverfront Athletic Association and volleyball coach at Culver-Stockton College in Canton.
However, one aspect of Kemner's Olympian career is continuing - she will be inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, Mass., on Oct. 18.
Kemner compared athletic training in her youth with today's practices, noting that she got her exercise in her back yard. She participated in several sports while she attended Quincy Notre Dame High School and she played for the Quincy Jets.
She was offered a professional volleyball career at age 18, but her mother advised against it. After one year of college, she joined the US National volleyball team at age 19, and competed in the Olympics in 1988, 1992 and 1996.
It was in 1992, when the team took home the bronze, that Kemner was named best volleyball player in the world. She believes her athletic experience has made her a better coach.
Kemner reported that she was lucky, genetically, because she grew tall and strong, so she did not suffer as many injuries as some professionals. However, over the years she has required several joint surgeries, and one major calf surgery that required a year of recovery. She is still healthy but expects to someday have arthritis.
Kemner explained that In her day, medical procedures for athletic injuries were not as advanced as they are today, and athletes are returning to their sports much quicker.
Today, some parents are beginning athletic training for their children at too early an age, Kemner believes, and "it leads them to potential injuries. Kids work harder and work on quantity, not quality." This is the opposite of current professional athletes' schedule, she said, which now focuses on quality, not quantity.
She encourages parents to make sound decisions about athletic competition. "Lots of things have changed," Kemner said. "We are so sports-hungry."
Regarding the age to start sports training, she said ages 8 to 10 is the youngest she would recommend for organized sports, and "for anybody under age 10, make sure you enjoy it."
Her goal is for parents remember, "it's a game."
Avoid steroids,
energy drinks, Turpin advises
After explaining that her company does drug testing for 14 organizations, Turpin presented some statistics. Athletes as young as junior high age are using performance-enhancing drugs at an alarming rate, and this continues through their teens and college careers, she said.
Turpin said a recent survey showed 17.4 percent of junior high students had used anabolic steroids, 39.3 percent of high school students, 16.4 percent of college freshmen and 27 percent of older college students. These can be taken orally, in creams and gels, as supplements and injectables, she reported.
In addition to these steroids, student athletes also use prescription drugs, energy drinks and other dietary supplements, all of which may be harmful to their health, she said. Supplements, energy drinks and vitamins can be purchased by people of all ages, at retail businesses, she said.
Vitamins, herbs and supplements may be harmful, she added. "Most are not federally regulated. We don't know if they are effective and most are not effective. They are not proven safe."
She noted the difference between sports drinks, which are good for you, and energy drinks, which she said are bad, adding that she believes that in the future "caffeine is going to be a major problem." It is not harmful to have 200 to 300 MG of caffeine a day, she said, but 500 to 600 MGs is harmful.
One type of Rockstar drink has as much caffeine as eight cans of Coca-Cola or 4.5 pounds of milk chocolate, she reported.
Parents need to be aware of what their children are using and should never be persuaded to provide them supplements to gain weight and compete in a sport, she advised.
"It's all the pressure," she said. They think "I have to get my kids the supplements - everyone else is doing it."
Parents need to realize, "there is no magic pill, no quick fix," she said, adding that eating a diet with lots of protein and other nourishing food is the best way to prepare for athletics.

Yes, how can you ignore social media when all the relevant conversation happens around social channels? Social channels are used to know the pulse of the people and also to influence their buying behavior. In fact, we are living in an age, where we talk more on social media and less in real life; thanks to the advent of messaging and networking sites such as whatsapp etc. It's therefore required that social channels be used to promote your brand and visibility. Google has already accepted that social is considered as a ranking signal and Bing shouts it out loud.

I found many of the statistics in this article to be very intriguing. For starters, I did not realize that Twitter's follower base has now grown to over half that of Facebook's. Furthermore, I had no idea that users spend close to the same amount of time on each site, because to me, Twitter is more of a place to simply post things, while Facebook is more of a place to browse. Next, I was not surprised to hear that about 80% of Pinterest users are women, however, I was surprised when it stated that about half of the total number of users have children! Last but not least, I personally have not heard much chatter about Google+, so it was surprising to find out that its follower count increases by about 33% each year! All in all, it was a very interesting article to read through!

A long voyage but the same weather for crew of Providence
Groton — The USS Providence returned home Tuesday after an unusually long deployment. Instead of the typical six months, the crew was gone for more than seven.
Cmdr. Michael Quan, the commanding officer of the Providence (SSN 719), said the operational commander at the U.S. Central Command needed the Providence to stay out longer, and "Providence met the call."
"There's a natural disappointment because you expect to be back on a certain date, but the crew understands this is our job. This is what we do," he said.
Navy leaders have said that submarines could occasionally be deployed longer because the fleet of attack submarines is shrinking as the aging Los Angeles-class boats retire. Providence's extended deployment was due to operational requirements which have occasionally occurred but are not the norm, according to the submarine force.
The Navy also told Congress that some attack submarine deployments could be canceled because of sequestration, the automatic budget cuts that took effect this month. As of Tuesday, no deployments had been canceled.
The Providence left the Naval Submarine Base Aug. 10 — a rainy, cold, miserable day. On Tuesday, Quan said it was just rainy and cold.
"It's not miserable out," he said, "because we're home now."
Quan said he couldn't have asked for a better group to deploy with and he thanked the families for their support.
Twenty-eight sailors earned their qualifications in submarine warfare, 26 sailors advanced in rank and 24 re-enlisted during the deployment. The submarine traveled more than 38,000 nautical miles and stopped in Israel, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Spain. Providence Mayor Angel Taveras sent Quan a letter congratulating him and the crew on a successful deployment.
The weather did little to damper the spirits at the homecoming. As soon as the Los Angeles-class submarine approached the pier, the families rushed out from under a tent to get closer and cheer.
"Rain, snow, sleet, I would be happy no matter what," Leighanne Ludington said.
Ludington and her husband, Alexander, have only spent 20 days together since their June wedding. The Providence went out to sea this summer for training, then deployed after just over a week in port. Alexander Ludington, a lieutenant on board, returned home the day before his 28th birthday.
Five babies were born during the deployment. Three of the fathers, Michael Phillips, Jarred Conway and Shawn McBlain, met their daughters for the first time Tuesday.
It was also the first time Conway, an electronics technician, deployed on a submarine and qualified in submarine warfare. After so many firsts, Conway said it was "amazing" and "exhilarating" to be home with his wife, Stephanie, and first-born child, Aubrey.
After Phillips, the hospital corpsman, or doc, on board, was reunited with his wife, Lisa, and met his 3½-month-old daughter, Lacey Marie, he said, "Coming home to this, seeing them on the pier, is truly amazing."
"This has been a long time coming," added Lisa Phillips. "There have been four different homecoming dates. It has been surreal up until this moment."
The deployment, Michael Phillips said, seemed never-ending at times.

A glider crashed in Gold Hill Thursday afternoon, causing back injuries to the pilot and more minor injuries to a passenger.
The glider landed in the yard of a house in the 11600 block of Gold Hill Road around 12:55 p.m.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office said the preliminary investigation indicates that the glider lost altitude due to a downdraft and the pilot looked for a place to land safely. The pilot was banking in an attempt to land in a field when one of the wings struck a power line, and the glider crashed.
Members of the Gold Hill, Lefthand, Sunshine and Fourmile fire protection districts, as well as American Medical Response Ambulance Service, and the Four Mile Fire Department responded to the crash.
Both the pilot and the passenger were transported to Boulder Community Hospital by ambulance. The passenger was treated for minor injuries and released. The pilot was treated for possible back injuries. His condition was not available.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office did not release the men's names.The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct an investigation into the crash.

Minding the Achievement Gap
Sam Intrator, Professor of Education and Child Study
Time: 6:15
It's widely accepted that higher education leads to better life outcomes, yet college remains an unfulfilled hope for many young Americans. At the same time, the U.S. is falling behind much of the developed world in measures of academic achievement. Sam Intrator considers the merits of three different approaches to narrowing the achievement gap to the benefit of individuals and society.

VANCOUVER - It's only Thursday, but already this has been one wacky week for the Vancouver Canucks. And after Wednesday, things will probably get wackier still – at least until the National Hockey League trading deadline next week.
One day after the Canucks' American coach, John Tortorella, issued an unsolicited, two-minute apology for saying four days earlier he hoped Sweden would beat Canada at the Olympics – it's not like he insulted Canadian health care or Canadian beer – an anonymously-sourced story out of Quebec said Canuck star Ryan Kesler had demanded out of Vancouver and was awaiting a trade.
Already out of the Canuck lineup due to a hand injury suffered in Sochi, Kesler wasn't around to refute the story. And general manager Mike Gillis didn't, saying he wasn't going to talk publicly about players' private issues because if he did the team would go out of business.
And as if all this weren't strange enough, the Canucks went out and beat the St. Louis Blues 1-0 Wednesday night for their first win since Jan. 26. Jannik Hansen's wrist shot on a partial breakaway at 11:13 of the third period ended the Canucks' seven-game losing streak, the team's longest since 1998.
It was the first third-period goal by a Canuck forward since Mike Santorelli scored the winning goal against the Blues on Jan. 10. Out for the season with a shoulder injury, Santorelli hasn't played in six weeks.
"You don't have to look too hard at the standings to know we need to win games and we need to win them fast," Hansen said. "A game like this goes a long way. If we can play a full 60 minutes – something we've been preaching for a while – we have a good chance to win games.
"Obviously, you need to score some goals in order to win games, but we were very sound defensively."
Tortorella said: "I thought everybody contributed and played a good game. I felt we didn't give them much (in the third period). We scored a big goal, I thought we were trying to make plays right on through it. Like I said, take small steps here to try and regain our confidence and play in those situations. Tonight helped us."
The Canucks had first-line centre Henrik Sedin back in their lineup for the first time since Feb. 4, but it's the absence of Kesler that will dominate discussions about the Canucks ahead of Friday's visit by the Minnesota Wild, Sunday's stadium game against the Ottawa Senators and next Wednesday's trading deadline.
The Canucks win against the Blues was impressive because, well, any win for them is impressive right now, and Vancouver actually seized and held a third-period lead.
But with five goals in their last five games, it's natural to wonder how many more games they can win without Kesler. Or, more compellingly, without the assets Kesler might fetch in a trade.
Most teams would love to have Kesler, whose play at the last two Olympics and his Selke Trophy season in 2011 have made the American a huge star.
Regardless of whether he has demanded a trade after a decade in the Canuck organization – rumours swirled in Sochi that he wanted out – Gillis is listening to offers from other teams on Kesler and others. The GM isn't hanging up the phone like he would have not long ago.
He can't afford to – not with the Canucks possessing five wins in 21 games since Dec. 29 and in danger of missing the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2008. Wednesday's win nudged them into eighth place.
Good goaltending and a solid defence isn't going to carry the Canucks very far without an infusion of offence and some freshening of the team's core group.
It looks like Eddie Lack might one day be part of that core.
The rookie goalie is one the few good-news stories on the Canucks this season.
Yet he had lost his previous five starts before Wednesday despite allowing only one goal in three of them. Against the Blues, it looked again like he might need to "win" 0-0.
After the Canucks outplayed the Blues, whose nine Olympians included seven who played on the weekend in Russia, in the first half of the game but failed to score, Lack kept the game scoreless until the third period by stopping Chris Stewart and Derek Roy on 2-on-1s.
"Outstanding," Tortorella said of his goalie. "Big saves at key times. I think he settles the team down, just the way he plays. There is not a lot of extra motion. He ate pucks tonight. There wasn't a lot of rebounds. He played very well."
If the Canucks do make the playoffs, they probably wouldn't mind meeting the St. Louis Blues in the first round. The Canucks completed a three-game season series sweep of the Blues Wednesday with a 1-0 win at Rogers Arena. Eddie Lack turned aside 20 shots to earn his third shutout of the season and Jannik Hansen scored the game's only goal at 11:13 of the third period on a breakaway. The win snapped a seven-game losing streak for the Canucks and moved them into eighth place in the Western Conference.
Lack has been in the net for all three wins over the Blues this season. . .Hansen's goal was his 10th of the season. . .Vancouver captain Henrik Sedin, who left the team for personal reasons on the weekend and returned to Sweden, got back to Vancouver Wednesday morning and saw 19:34 of ice time against the Blues. . .Defenceman Yannick Weber was a healthy scratch for the Canucks. . .The Blues, who heading into the game had scored 50 more goals than Vancouver this season, have managed just three in their three games versus the Canucks this season.
A tribute to the Canuck and Blues Olympians was held just before the opening faceoff. . .Vancouver defenceman Dan Hamhuis said all three of his children have taken turns trying on his gold medal. "They've all worn it," Hamhuis said. "Everyone who holds it or wears it seems to be surprised how heavy it is." Hamhuis also joked that his wife Sarah, who accompanied him to Sochi, complained she is suffering from "Olympics withdrawal."
The Canucks' homestand continues Friday night when the Minnesota Wild visit Rogers Arena. The Canucks then move across the street to B.C. Place for Sunday afternoon's Heritage Classic game against the Ottawa Senators. Both the Senators and Canucks are scheduled to practise Saturday at B.C. Place before Sunday's game. Tickets are still available for that game.

TULSA, Okla. – The Duke women's golf team carded a five-over-par, 285, Wednesday on its way to moving into second place at the 2014 NCAA Championship, which is being played at the 6,174 yard, par 70 Tulsa Country Club in Tulsa, Okla.
The Blue Devils own a 36-hole total of 578 and trail Oklahoma (575) by three strokes with two days remaining. Rounding out the top 10 teams are Arizona State (580), UCLA (584), Arizona (584), Southern California (584), Stanford (586), Mississippi State (587), Washington (588) and Michigan State (588).
"The wind was a little bit less severe, same direction," commented Duke head coach Dan Brooks on the round today. "We got to play the front side first. We were very patient. I was proud of my team. They handled things really well. It was gustier today, so you had to do more thinking on your par-three shots. I'm really proud of what we did today."
Starting the morning on No. 1 Wednesday, the Blue Devils played holes 1-9 much better in the second round and made the turn at one-over-par. After totaling three birdies on No. 1-9 in the first round, Duke carded nine birdies Wednesday.
"There are some tough holes, particularly on the front side," said Brooks. "It's just a great golf course. With the conditions, it's all championship-type stuff. I try not to dissect the course. I try to get my team to see it as one shot at a time. There aren't hard holes. There aren't easy holes. It's just one shot at a time. The front has some tough holes on it though."
Duke sophomore Celine Boutier continues to hover around the top of the individual leaderboard posting rounds of even-par, 70, and is tied fifth with a 140. Boutier, who is out of Montrouge, France, held a two-under-par ledger through most of the day, but two double-bogeys on No. 14 and No. 18 dropped her back to even par.
"I thought I played pretty well throughout the course," commented Boutier. "My putting was really good today, so that definitely helped me. I made a lot of birdies, I think I had five of them. That's pretty good with the conditions. Today was a pretty good day for me."
Boutier opened her round with three birdies on No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4, along with a bogey on No. 2. She went on to par the next six holes, before suffering her second bogey of the day on the 366-yard, par four 11th, after hitting her tee shot off the fairway to the right by a tree. Boutier came right back with a birdie on No. 12, but for the second straight day she hit her tee shot on a par three in the water and finished with a double-bogey on the 175-yard, par three 14th.
After dropping back to even-par for the day, Boutier once again responded strong with back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th holes to get back to two-under. She turned in a solid par on the par three No. 17. On the closing hole, she hit her tee shot near a tree off the fairway and had to punch out into the fairway. Boutier ended up posting a double-bogey to finish at even par. She hit six fairways, 14 greens and had 30 putts.
Oklahoma's Alexandra Kaui holds the individual lead with a five-under-par, 135, after shooting three-under Wednesday. Only three other golfers enter the third round under par – Allyssa Ferrell of Michigan State (138), Lauren Kim of Stanford (138) and Doris Chen of Southern California (139).
With a one-over-par, 71, Wednesday, freshman Sandy Choi will enter the third round tied 14th with a 143. Choi, who is out of San Diego, Calif., hit 11 greens, eight fairways and had 30 putts on the day. After opening her round with a bogey on No. 1, Choi played the next 12 holes at two-under-par. She drained back-to-back birdies on No. 8 and No. 9. Choi suffered two consecutive bogeys on the 14th and 15th holes to drop to one-over-par. She then drained a key par putt on No. 16, got up-and-down on the 17th for par and two-putted for par on No. 18 to finish with a 71.
"My round was pretty satisfying today," said Choi. "I ended up with a better score than yesterday. I didn't hit that many fairways or greens today, but I was able to score well because of my putting. I started off with a bogie, so I told myself to stay patient and keep making birdies. The two birdies felt good. I was able to have some confidence going into the back nine. On No. 8, I stuck my wood pretty close to the pin. On No. 9, I hit a really hard putt, but it went into the hole."
Senior Laetitia Beck produced a front nine that included two birdies, two double-bogeys and five pars. The double-bogeys came when she hit her drive on No. 3 out of bounds and her hit her tee shot on No. 6 into the hazard. Beck, a native of Caesarea, Israel, came back from the double-bogeys to birdie each of the next holes and made the turn with a two-over-par, 37. She played the back nine at even-par with a bogey on No. 11, while draining a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to finish her round with a two-over, 72. Beck hit 12 greens, 11 fairways and had 31 putts on the day. She will enter the third round tied 43rd.
Turning in a two-over-par, 72, Wednesday was senior Alejandra Cangrejo as she posted a team best 29 putts. A product of Bogota, Colombia, Cangrejo opened her day with two pars and then had two straight bogeys to fall to two-over-par. She would end up playing the final 14 holes at even par with birdies on No. 6 and No. 13. Cangrejo added a key up-and-down on No. 16 as she hit eight fairways and nine greens. She is tied 67th overall with a 151.
Rookie Yu Liu added a 76 in round two and is tied 67th on the individual leaderboard with a 151. Liu, who is from Beijing, China, opened her round with a par, bogey and for the second straight day was on the par five third green in two and finished with a tap-in birdie. The ACC Freshman of the Year played the next six holes at two-over-par, which included a double-bogey on No. 6. Liu closed the day at four-over on the back to finish the round at six-over-par.
Duke will tee off in the third round beginning at 12:55 p.m., along with Oklahoma and Arizona State off hole No. 1.
"One thing you have at nationals is a lot of time before you tee off, because there are a lot of teams in this tournament," said Brooks. "We have a lot of time to wait tomorrow. I might talk a little bit about making sure you stay hydrated and relaxed because you have time. Other than that, I'm not sure there is any formula for four days vs. three. Just stay patient and stay rested. They know how to do this. They're a lot better at it than I am."
• Duke won its first NCAA Championship at the Tulsa Country Club in 1999 and has gone on to win a total of five titles (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007).
• Celine Boutier turned in a birdie on No. 1 to open her round. In the first round, there were only three birdies all day on the 393-yard, par four.

While Battlefield 3 is being targeted towards the high-end PC market, developer DICE has made the decision to omit modding tools for the upcoming FPS. "As of now, we are not going to make any modding tools," DICE's Patrick Söderlund told GameStar (via PC Mag). "If you look at the Frostbite engine, and how complex it is, it's going to be very difficult for people to mod the game, because of the nature of the set up of levels, of the destruction and all those things... it's quite tricky. So we think it's going to be too big of a challenge for people to make a mod."
The Frostbite engine has been largely praised for producing such impressive visuals for Battlefield 3. Undoubtedly, the enthusiastic modding community would love to get hands on that tech--and it's likely they will, regardless of a release of an officially sanctioned mod tool. For example, the community eventually released new maps for DICE's Mirror's Edge. (Although that title used Unreal Engine 3.) Söderlund's statement seems like an invitation for the community to open up the game.
In an interview with Edge, lead multiplayer designer Lars Gustavsson said "we could probably do a ten base Rush map! It's definitely doable." He added, "there's nothing preventing us, if people had the time and the will." That sounds like a challenge for the dedicated mod community to tackle, doesn't it?

Men's Game
The College of the Siskiyous men's basketball team snagged a 61-59 victory over the Butte Roadrunners Saturday night in Weed.
With the game tied 59-59, Eagle freshman Lavar Moore buried a jumper with 1.2 seconds left to steal the victory.
It was the second time this week Moore had hit the game-winner for the Eagles whose record improved to 7-15 overall and 2-6 in Golden Valley Conference play.
A seesaw battle from the opening tip, the Eagles worked their way to a 28-23 halftime advantage.
The Roadrunners, who had run a very methodical offensive scheme in the first half, came out with a more aggressive offensive attack in the second half and worked the game to a 38-38 tie with 12:19 remaining.
The Roadrunners kept the momentum pouring on a 16-9 run to claim a 54-47 advantage.
The Eagles refused to let the game get away from them and with 3:18 left they battled back to within one point of the Roadrunners, 56-55.
A Roadrunner made it a three point game, but Eagle Jake West laid one in to make it a 58-57. A Roadrunner turnover with 2:02 left gave the Eagles a shot at the lead, and they were quick to claim it with Jon Biglow putting in the go-ahead bucket.
With the lead in hand and time ticking away, the Eagles handed the Roadrunners a 1 and 1 opportunity, luckily the free throw attempt rimmed off, and with 42.5 seconds left the Eagles looked extend their advantage.
Moore took the ball for the Eagles and looked to drive, but the ball was swiped away by a Roadrunner and the Eagles were reeling back to the defensive end.
Before the Roadrunners could get a go-ahead shot attempt the Eagles committed a foul sending the Roardrunners to the line for another 1 and 1 attempt with 9.6 seconds left.
The Roadrunner buried the first free throw to tie the game, but his second free throw attempt rimmed off and the Eagles secured the rebound and got the ball to Moore.
Moore, the hero in the upset over Lassen on Thursday, was fresh off the turnover that had just allowed Butte to tie the game, but he looked remarkably poised.
With a couple dribbles, a quick step in and a pop up jumper just inside the three-point line, he was resurrected to hero as the ball splashed through the net with 1.2 seconds remaining.
Butte had 1.2 seconds left to pull off a miracle, but the hail mary pass followed by a three point heave missed the mark and the Eagles had their third win in GVC play.
Watkins Williams poured in 16 points to lead the Eagle scoring attack. Biglow added 12 points while West scored 10 points and Moore nine points.
The Eagles travel to Shasta on Thursday then return home on Saturday to battle Feather River.
Women's Game
The College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles doubled up the Butte Lady Roadrunners 92-46 Friday night in Weed.
With Hailey Wales leading the way with 24 points and Anna Cameron pitching in 21 points, the Lady Eagles improved their record to 18-4 overall and 6-1 in Golden Valley Conference play.
Yreka alum Carrie Watson contributed 14 points for the Lady Eagles while Shyanna Ashworth hit a trio of three pointers to finish with nine points.
Fellow Yreka grad Adriana Scala played a solid game for Butte, finishing with seven points.
The Lady Eagles travel to Shasta College on Thursday looking to avenge their only loss in GVC play against the Lady Knights.
They return home for their final home game on Saturday, Feb. 16 against Feather River at 5:30 p.m.
Eagles earn two wins versus Butte

The State of Jefferson Elite Rugby Club had their work cut out for them when they played the Redwood Empire on Saturday.
The big men from Santa Rosa had all they could handle in the scrappy Elite squad. The first 20 minutes turned into a clash of the forwards as the Jefferson side went toe-to-toe. When the Redwood men were finally able to circulate the ball to their speedy backs, the Elite's backs met them with solid tackling.
A few good breaks and some long runs for the Redwood Empire had them up 19-0 at half. The Jefferson men were energized by their consistent play and came out inspired in the second half. Santa Rosa's big centers and flankers were more than the Elite could handle though. With great speed and powerful runs their big men either out-ran or over-ran the Elite. Wing Nick Linfoot made one impressive try-saving tackle after another, but good support from the Redwood's backs gave them four more scores in the second half.
At the 80th minute, with time nearly expired, the Elite were just five meters from scoring but lost the ball out of bounds. Redwood threw the ball in, but a great steal from scrum-half Matt Elkin gave the Elite the ball back. He quickly tossed the ball to Logan Neely, who ran toward the goal line. When he was met by the Redwood defense, the Jefferson men formed a maul and pushed back the Redwood Empire into their own try zone. Smart play from Neely collapsed the maul and he touched the ball down for the score.
"We finally looked like a rugby team today," player Bryant Schauffler told the team after the match and Neely summed up the game nicely: "What we lack in experience, we make up with heart and our guys push it to end no matter what the score. Look out for when we do get it all together." The Redwood Empire awarded Man-of-the-Match to Linfoot, Elkin, and Schauffler.
The Elite's next home match is on March 2 against Shasta.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Legislation legalizing same-sex marriage in Illinois is expected to come up in a Senate committee meeting Tuesday and could see a floor vote on Valentine's Day.
That's according to state Sen. Heather Steans. The Chicago Democrat and bill sponsor says it's on the executive committee's agenda and she's confident it has the support to pass the Senate next week.
Last week, Senate President John Cullerton said he'd like to approve gay marriage on Feb. 14. He says he believes the bill has the 30 votes needed to pass and move to the House.
Steans agrees. The legislation would grant same-sex couples rights available to heterosexual couples.
Advocates say the time is right because of momentum in other states and changing public opinion.
However, some religious groups oppose the idea.

Plaice, American – U.S.
American Plaice are flatfish that live on both sides of the Atlantic. They grow slowly, reach sexual maturity between three to seven years of age and can live to be 30.
U.S. American Plaice populations are rebuilding and current fishing levels are appropriate.
Most American Plaice are caught with bottom trawls, which damage seafloor habitat and catch some depleted species, like Atlantic cod.

Dog control in Sussex County will remain within the purview of the Kent County SPCA for at least one more year. KCSPCA beat out rival Safe Haven in Georgetown, which won the Kent County Levy Court dog control contract, for the Sussex contract.
The Kent County SPCA/Delaware Animal Care & Control received a one-year, $669,230 contract extension for dog control services in Sussex County, which it has served for the last three years.
Kent County SPCA was the lowest of two bidders, Sussex County government spokesman Chip guy said in a press release. Safe Haven in Georgetown was the second bidder.
"The county cited Kent SCPA's low bid and satisfactory performance in the past for awarding this newest contract, which begins Jan. 1, 2013," Guy said Tuesday.
Kent County SPCA Executive Director Kevin Usilton was pleased with the contract extension, which would help sustain the Kent County SPCA with cash flow, he said.
However, the Kent County SPCA would have to cut back hourly service by four hours each day in order to make a contract with no cost of living increase work, Usilton said. Animal control would run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. instead of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., he said Wednesday.
The KCSPCA also would use attrition to make the contract work, Usilton said. Namely, one employee left, bring the total number of employees to 55.
"It's kind of a double edged sword," Usilton said. "We have funding that pays for officers, gasoline, vet care for the animals we bring in as part of that contract and other services, such as enforcement. But the adoption, spay/neuter, the cat intake that we do for Sussex County is covered by the SPCA.
"While it is cash flow, it doesn't pay for us to have anymore employees," he said. "We have to raise the funds to do that and we do that through return-to-owner fees, adoption fees and from donations."
Kent County SPCA laid off 13 employees when it lost the dog control contract to Safe Haven, a nonprofit, no-kill shelter, on July 1, the first day of Kent County's 2013 fiscal year. As of December, the KCSPCA was still paying toward unemployment for 10 of those employees.
However, Usilton still hopes that a more perfect solution can occur in the future. That includes shifting dog control back to the state, which put the burden of animal control on counties under the Minner administration. In those days, the SPCAs served as vendors for the state, Usilton said.
Former Gov. Ruth Ann Minner wanted the burden to fall on New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, which were flush with cash from the so-called real estate transfers, Usilton said. That bubble burst and counties were left to find vendors through the bidding process.
That in turn led to the situation where the Delaware SPCA in Stanton and Georgetown provided dog control from the city of Wilmington and Sussex County while Kent County SPCA provided dog control for the rest of New Castle County and Sussex County.
The Kent County SPCA also held the contract for Kent County until it got involved in a contract dispute with Kent County Levy Court prior to the start of the 2013 fiscal year on July 1.
"Currently in Delaware, no organization that provides a government service of animal control resides in the jurisdiction they enforce in," Usilton said. "The Delaware SPCA is not located in the city of Wilmington. We provide for the rest of New Castle County and Sussex. And Kent County [service] is in Georgetown."
Kent County Levy Court commissioners balked at the nonprofit organization's request for an increased amount of money due to rising expenses without what they thought was an adequate enough explanation.
Be that as it may, Kent County SPCA/ Delaware Animal Care & Control Chief Animal Control Officer Major Brian Whipple said animal control agents would continue to do their jobs with aplomb.
"For us, it's something that we do and do well," Whipple said. "We do everything that we can to make sure the animals are treated the best way possible. Having the contract means a lot to us to continue the hard work we've put in the last few years.
"There was a time when we first took over doing it from the state in 2006 that there were packs of dogs running around in Sussex County," he said. "You don't see that anymore. There are still dogs that get out and dogs run. As long as the calls come in, we're going to go out and hopefully get them contained before something bad happens."
Kent County SPCA has seven animal control agents assigned to Sussex County while eight are assigned to New Castle County, Usilton said.
He said the Kent County SPCA still accepted local dogs turned in by owners, provided they paid the fee. But, it could no longer accept stray dogs, which fell under the purview of Safe Haven.

The cabin of an Airbus 320, an aircraft that usually seats about 150 passengers, is a smidgen wider than 12 feet. So when the manufacturer decided it wanted to install a handicapped-accessible bathroom in some of its single-aisle planes, the question was where to put it.
Airbus couldn't displace any seats, or airlines wouldn't want it. And it had to fit in a cozy space, generally in the back of an airplane, near the galley.
The company's engineers found an impressive solution. They realized they could put two regular restrooms — lavatories in airline lingo — next to each other, with a retractable wall between them. Flight attendants would have a key to turn two bathrooms into one.
Aircraft cabins aren't getting any bigger, but airlines and manufacturers are trying to cram more and more stuff inside, and generally those extra bells and whistles are improving the experience for passengers.
Sometimes, as with the lavatory or with more luxurious flat-bed seats in business class, the advances affect relatively few passengers. But other times, especially with improved in-seat entertainment and faster Internet, the upgrades help all passengers.
After several years of not investing much in their on-board experience, airlines are finally starting to put some serious money into it. Many of those changes — like a full mock-up of the handicap accessible toilet and greatly improved in-seat entertainment screens — were on display last week at the annual Airline Passenger Experience Association expo in Anaheim.
"Airlines were really focusing on spending their money on the ground,' said Neil James, executive director of corporate sales and product management at Lake Forest-based Panasonic Avionics, which makes in-seat entertainment systems for airlines such as Delta and American. "But there was this realization that you needed to win the passengers in the air, not just on the ground.'
Still, it's not only about providing a better experience. Screens like the ones made by Panasonic offer considerable revenue opportunities for airlines. James said a seat-back screen advertisement is 100 times more valuable for a brand than a regular website banner ad. And he said passengers are 80 times more likely to click on it than they would be on the ground.
Better entertainment and connectivity options essentially make on-board magazines and catalogs obsolete.
"Right now, there's an in-seat magazine and it shows you a steak restaurant in a city you're not going to,' said Michael Small, president and chief executive of GoGo, which provides in-flight Internet for most U.S. airlines, including American, United and Delta and US Airways. "This allows more nuance in the way airlines treat customers.'
GoGo announced last week that by next year it will offer Internet on Virgin America at 60 Mbps, or roughly six times faster than the quickest connection it now makes available.
Better connectivity should allow airlines to sell even more extras at 35,000 feet. They might announce, via the touch-screen in the first hour of the flight, that there's one seat left in business class for, say, $500. Or they might create an auction for an unfilled economy seat with extra leg room.
Better Internet should also permit airlines to process credit cards in real time. (Many carriers now wait until the plane lands before they upload all the charges from the flight, which makes systems susceptible to fraud.)
This is not to say that entertainment aloft is all about revenue. Airlines do like to please passengers, who have long complained about relatively slow Internet speeds and few entertainment options. With GoGo's new service, which other airlines might also adopt, passengers will be able to accomplish just about any task from the plane — with the exception of streaming full-length television shows or movies. If they want those, they'll have to use the airlines' system.
"The bandwidth is still limited,' Small said. "My analogy is that you'll give everyone a glass of water, but you won't fill their swimming pool.'
For a brief period, some airline executives thought in-seat televisions were passe, that passengers would watch content on laptops, tablets and cellphones and that carriers would be left with expensive and obsolete hardware in seat backs.
But most executives soon realized they were wrong, said Brett Snyder, a Long Beach-based aviation analyst. For one, most of the devices need in-seat power, and not all airlines were willing to offer it. For another, it turns out most passengers prefer their entertainment in the air to be similar to how it is at home. Travelers actually want two devices running at once.
"It's that second screen thing,' Snyder said. "You want to have your TV on, and you want to have your laptop with you.'
The newest in-seat screens are roughly the same quality as those on iPads and other tablets, Panasonic's James said. And they're getting bigger — and lighter — every year.
Even better, James said his company has solved the problem of what executives call "henpecking,' or passengers who tap so violently at their touch-screens that people in the next row find it irritating. In the past, he said, the screens weren't as responsive as they are now, leading passengers to tap repeatedly, thinking the screen did not register the response.
In its newest systems, Delta Air Lines offers passengers 350 movies, 250 hours of television shows and more than 5,000 songs, airline officials said. Mike Henny, Delta's director of customer experience, said the airline, which began merging with Northwest in 2008, has focused more on improving the customer experience in recent years. A lot of that is getting the screens "clearer, thinner and brighter,' he said.
"We went from a position of being in survival mode and integrating two carriers to getting to profitability,' Henny said. "We got to the point where we had the luxury to invest a lot more in our infrastructure and on-board product.'
Meanwhile, as companies like GoGo and Panasonic work to improve connectivity at 35,000 feet, airplane manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus continue to try to make the most of the confined space of an airplane. Airbus, for example, gives airlines the options of adding several mirrors to their lavatories in an effort to make them seem bigger. (They're actually the same size as ever.)
"In cabin, everything is about perception,' said Anais Marzo da Costa, Airbus' interiors marketing director. Airbus also has worked with airlines to provide mood lighting, and offers carriers the ability to mimic sunrise and sunset. Among major U.S. airlines, Virgin America has taken greatest advantage of the mood lighting technology, she said.
Manufacturers even offer airlines the option of upgrading flooring to, say, fake wood.
"We like to spice things up,' Delta's Henny said. "But the challenge for us is that we have such a large fleet you can't just make a change like flooring and get it implemented overnight. There is a lot of certification time and a lot of costs.'
Finishes are important, but da Costa said Airbus knows that the best advances help both the airline and the passenger. It's difficult, she said, to implement a change that does not also create revenue for an airline.
"The goal is to have a win-win,' da Costa said. "You want to provide comfort for passengers and optimize revenue and efficiency for the airline.

LONGMONT -- A man who told police he lost his .380 semiautomatic pistol while riding his motorized scooter through a north Longmont neighborhood on Jan. 16 told police he found the gun between some couch cushions in his home on Wednesday.
Cmdr. Jeff Satur said police volunteers and a police K-9 searched the man's route along Mountain View Avenue, Pace Street along the east sidewalk, 17th Avenue west from Pace to Alpine Street and the bike path along the Rough and Ready Ditch to Independence Drive, but did not recover the gun.
The man, who has a concealed carry weapons permit and is disabled and uses a motorized scooter to get around, believed he dropped the gun out of its holster somewhere along his route.
Satur said the gun was loaded when it was misplaced.
Police were worried that a child may have found the gun.

All good things come to an end, and for me, the time has come to leave the Columbine Courier.
I came to South Jeffco in September 2007 knowing virtually nothing about the area, outside of having visited Chatfield Reservoir as a child and watching the Columbine High School tragedy unfold while I was a junior at Eaglecrest High School in Aurora. I came here from Sterling for the chance to work in the Denver area, and had no idea how much I'd grow to appreciate this place.

Wow it has been months since my last post on my showerhacks.com blog, I have been extremely busy with work and other activities, like playing video games with services from Elitist gaming. But what happened today convinced me to log back in and make this post. Deep down, I probably feel quilty for not being an active blogger subconsciously.
So I went to purchase the Iron Man™: Extremis™ Sea Port Battle and LEGO® Kingdoms Chess Set for myself and Arctic Batman™ vs. Mr. Freeze™: Aquaman™ on Ice for my friend as a birthday gift from Lego Store. They are having a promotion for any purchase of any Lego Star Wars over $50, an exclusive Republic Frigate will be added to the shopping bag (online and in-store purchase). When I got home that night I notice I have actually purchased way over the required $50 since the Kingdom Chess set cost $60 on its own already but no Republic Frigate was added to my purchase.
So today I emailed Lego through the "Contact Us" and asked what's going on. The customer service rep replied within hours and explained the promotion only applies to any Lego Star Wars sets, not any sets. But surprisingly he still honored the request and sent me the promotional gift even though it was CLEARLY 100% MY MISTAKE.
I just want to show how much I appreciate what this customer service rep has done for me, one of many Lego fans.
Thank you again Lego!
So its been exactly two weeks since the WordPress hosting reviews, being a first person shooter and CoD fan (note: a fan, not a fanboy!) I had to get it. There were two reasons why I bought the game the very first day and this doesn't mean I won't be looking for the LOL 2017 worlds skins look out, Zombie mode and the fact that the story takes place in the near future with futuristic weapons and gadgets like kindle comparison where they have the best and coolest gadgets on the globe today.
I'm not going to go into details about the story but it follows what was left behind in Black Ops with Mason. The first half of the single player was pretty boring as it was basically a flash back, for once I nearly fell asleep as I watched all these in-game cinematics. I was tempted to skip some of them but I thought since I was playing the single player, I had to follow the story. The pace of the second half ramped up which was a good thing, things just got really intense, which I thought was what made the game a Call of Duty game – fast pace and action packed. I actually like the fact that in Black Ops 2, you get to do a lot more than just run and gun. You get to fly in a fancy high tech glider suit and horse back riding shooting RPGs (I still think it is ridiculous to reload an RPG while riding a horse) just to mention a few. Again its nothing special but at least its somewhat different from previous Call of Duty games, the good thing is that you can play in your computer if you have the best gaming keyboard so you can play comfortably. If you are looking for business communications and connectivity solutions for medium and large enterprises. Check out MegaPath that are experts at securely connecting business locations and remote workers with nationwide Internet, managed networks, voice and unified communications.
You can expect the same level of graphics from previous series, no surprise there as the developers don't really have an incentive to improve on that at all since there will always be people buying their games. To be fair, there were impressive moments but they were rare.
Multiplayer is ok and expected, but it does take a while to get used to the load out, or class system. You are now given 10 points to spend on your class with different perks, weapons and weapon attachments. You can spend most in a single weapon, like me where I put most of my points on my primary weapon with 3 attachments. I think this new class system is a positive change in my opinion as you can focus more on a single area of a class. One thing they seriously need to fix is the spawning, I have lost count how many times I got killed as soon as I respawned after I got killed two seconds ago! I did not notice this as much in Modern Warfare 3 though, only in Black Ops and Black Ops 2.
Zombie mode is always fun playing with your friends, now it supports up to four players on a single system which is another big plus. I played with two of my other friends and we all had a good laugh throughout the night!
So here is my quick review of the latest Call of Duty – Black Ops 2. Was it worth buying the very first day? I honestly don't think so unless you are absolutely in love with the series or you are new to the series. Although I see it as a long term investment with its multiplayer and Zombie mode since I usually play for more than a year online based on past games. It will more than make up for the $60 dollar plus tax price tag. Just don't expect anything too revolutionary, expect it to be the same as the rest of the series with a different story and weapons.

A few days ago, I received an email from Futureshop about offering an exclusive Call of Duty: Black Ops II SteelBook case as a BONUS gift with purchase to all customers who pre-order the game and how they extended this offer to all customers who pre-ordered before September 7, 2012. Obviously I was excited because I did not expect to receive it in the first place.
Funny thing is, I got the steelbook case today and the actual game has not arrived yet (assuming it will be tomorrow based on online tracking) when the actual game was processed BEFORE I put in the order for the bonus case . Oh well, I guess I will just have to wait one more day before I can get my hands on the game.
What a tease…..
First there was Globe and Mail started charging its readers $20 a month for its online contents, now The Star has just announced it will also begining its own digital subscription in 2013. My first reaction was "What? You too?" and the reason for my reaction, as well as many others who commented on the post, is the fact that the content is not worth paying for. One commenter pointed out that he can read the news free of charge from libariries that have subscribed to something called PressDisplay. Though this might not matter as much if the monthly subscription is really low, perhaps $5 or less a month? We shall see when they announce the pricing next year. But what I can see so far based on the initial reactions from those who commented is, no good.
Well looks like I need to start looking elsewhere for local news. Thankfully I can still visit CityNews Toronto as well as 680News. But who knows when these will follow the trend and start asking for money.
Until then, let's enjoy The Star for free while we still can.
I was checking out Gametrailers as usually just like every other day after I play my video games with the Lol Boost from P4rgaming. But today was different, something or rather, someone caught my attention. One of the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (the PlayStation version of the Wii's Super Smash Bros. Brawl) walkthroughs features Noriko from Heavenly Sword as one of the playable character in the game. I forgot about Nariko a long time ago and the game Heavenly Sword is still one of the best PlayStation 3 titles in my opinion and also being one of the very first game titles when the PS3 was launched.
We know that Ninja Theory, the company who developed the original Heavenly Sword, said there will be no sequel. But I kind of got my hopes back up after seeing this. Perhaps its only a false hope.
I quickly Googled about a possible sequel that could be in the making. There was a bunch of leaked concept art that was rumored to be for the next Heavenly Sword game in August of this year. But that was quickly shot down by Ninja Theory's Dominic Matthews that those were in fact, not from Ninja Theory. Well, there goes my hope….
For now I guess we will have to buy this game when it is released to relive her glory or better yet, play the original Heavenly Sword.
Check out the Nariko walkthrough:
I recently received a modded PS3 controller from Viking360 (Xbox360 modded controllers are also available. The one controller I received in particular is the black PS3 modded controller called the Ragnarok with USB option for $129.90USD while a non USB version is $99.95USD.
At first glance, the Ragnarok controller looks exactly like a regular PS3 controller. The only difference is the extra tiny mod switch on the back of the controller. I had sometime to test out the different modes like burst fire, jitter mode, akimbo mode, rapid fire, timed reload (they call it Fast Reload) where you can control the timing of your reload. All of these modes are designed specially for the Call of Duty series and may work for ParaMarine Task Force as per the details on the site.
The first few tries of switching modes weren't as smooth and I had to really find a relatively quiet spot to switch between them. But it became second nature soon enough. I'm not going to go into too details on how to switch modes but I will talk about one of them just to give you an idea. For example, for rapid fire mode, all you have to do is hold the mod switch and hit the R1 button, you will see Player 4 LED flashes which tells you that the controller has received your command. You are now in rapid fire mode and you can now fire any single shot weapons like the FAL as if it was a SMG or LMG. Another feature I want to briefly mention is the Zombie mode which offers auto-aim with or without rapid fire support. This might come in handy for those having trouble with much higher stages.
In the details section on the controller's page, you will notice something called Phantom Buttons. What this Phanton Buttons means is that, changing modes will not cause you to fire a single shot so that you will not be giving away your positions while you switch in between modes. Call of Duty players like me who really care about stealth and not firing random shots will appreciate this little feature.
The features go on for this Ragnarok controller and with this USB version you can even program, for example, your Rapid fire Mode to fire from 5 shots up to 99 shots per seconds. I personally think 99 shots per seconds is an over kill but the option is there for those that need it.
Overall, the Ragnarok does well for what it offers, I have not noticed any problems or glitches while testing this with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops. Pretty solid piece of modded controller. Again, I apologize for not going into too detail on each modes and how you can program the modes through the USB and your computer. I feel that the default settings for each mode is more than enough for the majority of players out there. Again, the options are there for those who need it.
I've copied the details here for convenience:
- Single Rapid Fire
- Dual Trigger Rapid Fire
- Burst Firing
- Akimbo Firing
- Jitter Firing**+
- Zombie Auto-aim**
- Drop Shot*
- Fast Reload**+
- Phantom Buttons
- Superfast Mode Switching
- Superfast Mode Toggling
- Quick Scope**
- Auto Sniper Breath Hold**
- Programmable rapidfire speeds
- Programmable fast reload delays**
- Supports ALL NINE Call of Duty button layouts*
Purchase the USB upgrade for your PS3 Ragnarok, and you will receive free Windows PC customization software, free software updates for life, and these additional mods:
- Programmable Quick Scope
- Auto-Sprint
- Trophy Glitch Fast Reload***
- Semtex Glitch Fast Reload***
- Dropshot Mode #2 – stay standing when you scope, dropping only when you fire from the hip
- Akimbo Mode #4 – for fully auto akimbo weapons
*Single star features designed for Call of Duty, may work with others.
**Two-star features only work with Call of Duty games.
+Plus means Jitter mod and Fast Reload patched in MW3. ALL OTHER FEATURES COMPATIBLE.

Premiere « Sandy « FEMJOY
I've only been browsing the tour so far but I love Femjoy. I like how crisp and clean the design is and I like how beautiful the girls are. I like seeing them pose in the nude and I like that the site is built to celebrate erotic art. It's about beautiful girls and the joy they can bring you and I think that when you see the preview pictures you'll feel a little bit of that joy. They're more than happy to let you go back in time to check out preview pictures from all the babes so you should take them up on that offer.Read full FEMJOY ReviewVisit FEMJOY
