The best start to a New Year ever. It started a week before Christmas. Typical story a guy at a gas station comes up to you. Well, my first response was to avoid eye contact. I was with my 10 year old daughter. The young, well dressed kid told me he left his wallet at home and he ran out of gas. I ask him how much gas it would take him to get home. He said about ten bucks, but if I could help at all...Well, I gave it to this kid who had a nicer car than myself. The young man said if I will give him my address...We have all heard that. I looked the kid right in the eye and said "Pass it Forward". Forward to Saturday Night. I was sitting in the truck in front of the grocery store waiting for my wife and daughter to finish shopping. This is a really classy shopping center. My dog was in my lap and I was just looking around. I saw a woman about fourty ask a man a question and get blown off. This woman wasn't alone. She had a beautiful little girl with her about my daughters age. She walked passed my truck. In my mirror I saw her turn around. This woman had a grimace on her face. Like she was forcing herself to ask me. Well, she came up to me and said. "I lost my job and my house. My daughter and I have been sleeping in a car. It's cold tonight and we would like to get a warm place to sleep." I ask her how much she needed to get a room. She told me she had seven dollars. I could not get past looking at that beautiful young lady being homeless. I had to help them out. I just happened to have some cash. I told the woman that we had all been through tough things in our lives and I was sure her luck was changing. Her and the daughter were very grateful and wanted to send it back when they got on there feet. They promised me as soon as they could they would send it to me. I smiled, looked them in the eye. No, just "Pay it Forward". Sunday Evening... I am about to embark on a very risky venture in my life. I don't want this to hurt my family. My girls take off to the store for some sales they see. I am literally on my knees praying when they return. My wife was in mild shock upon returning from the store. I said "What's wrong?" and here's her exact words. "I was checking out my groceries and a lady walked up to me. She told me she wanted to pay for my groceries. I begged her to pick someone that was more needy. I told her I have way too many things. The nice lady said "she had picked me and that she really wanted to do this for our family". Shocked...My wife and my daughter kept thanking the generous lady. When the transaction was nearing completion my wife handed the clerk coupons. The lady insisted my wife save them for next time. This beautiful person turned and looked my wife in the eye and said with a smile "Pass it Forward". If we all did this, could you imagine? Please "Pass it Forward"

PERTH AMBOY — During Catholic Schools Week, the students of Perth Amboy Catholic School presented "Every Child Can Be a Saint." Every student from kindergarten to the 8th Grade drew their self portrait and thought about how they could become modern day saints. The cross-curriculum religion/art project was the idea of Rose Lavin Pennyfeather, the art teacher at Perth Amboy Catholic School, who was inspired by a sermon that Monsignor John Gordon gave at the beginning of the school year at the mass for teachers. The students put their minds, hearts and souls into their work which reflects the Catholic "Year of Faith" theme. The parents and community enjoyed the art exhibit on Wednesday, Jan. 30. Pictured above are fifth grader Christian Vazquez (left) and fourth grader Frankie Vazquez. (Photo courtesy of Perth Amboy Catholic School)

Foster Child to be Removed Because 'He Would Be Better Off' with Black Family
Retaliation in the form of discrimination is what a Norfolk, VA, foster family is said to be experiencing. Social workers in the state have threatened to take away a foster child Sarah and Ben Fitzpatrick are currently taking care of with the explanation that because the child is black, he would be better off with a black family. But the couple says the threats are really retaliation for blowing the whistle on the foster care system.
When the Fitzpatricks lived in Virgina Beach, they took care of a baby named Braxton for seven months, but when the child was placed with another mother he was abused, and ultimately killed. The couple spoke out about the baby's death and even landed a spot on News Channel 3, blaming social workers for missing signs that the baby was in an abusive environment, and afterward the Virginia Beach Human Services Director apologized and admitted workers had done a poor job of protecting Braxton.
The move obviously looked good for the press, but one week later, social workers appeared at the door of the Fitzpatricks and told them they were going to remove their current foster child to place him with a black family. In the five months that they'd cared for the child, Sarah said this was the first time any issue of color was mentioned.
Right as the news segment was set to air, the couple also received an email from their social worker, saying:
"Your appearance…on tonight`s news has caused some concern here. I want to talk to you about what is in your interview so that we can be prepared for any calls we may get… We are anxious about what is to come."
The check the Fitzpatrick's received to take care of the foster child also bounced, with the bank telling them there were "insufficient funds," leading the couple to believe the social worker intends to make good on it's promise to remove the child.
When Sarah appeared on Channel 3, she told the station:
"We had to do something to make a change, and there was nothing else we could do but contact you."
Now it seems the foster system has decided that it's better to silence the whistle blowers by removing children from their home rather than protect children who are actually in need of protecting.
What do you think about this case? Do you think the foster care system can justify their actions by saying a black child should be with a black foster family?

Today, August 8, 2007, we are one year away from the opening of the Summer Olympics 2008 in Beijing, China.
America will be greatly influenced by the National Broadcasting Sytem's reports, promos and advertisements about the Olympics and China, to say nothing about the activities and reports surrounding the Games themselves.
What China does not want westerners to see or hear is any negative reporting about China. The issue of Human Rights, for example, is not allowed on any agenda.
Just remember: NBC has no obligation to say anything but that which is self-serving. And, because millions of dollars are at stake and China can shut down any media outlet at any time because there is no freedom of the press in China, you'll see scores of reports from NBC that resemble the sucking-up one generally finds only among teenage male suitors. China is more than NBC's bride and prize in this money making affair: China is the Golden Goose.
The essay below, published in today's Washington Times, is my singular effort to provide some balance and perspective on China and that massive country's government and culture of corruption.

China: Less Than the Whole Truth
By John E. Carey
The Washington Times
August 8, 2007
With a public relations scandal involving food and other product safety looming if not already roiling for China on June 12, 2007, the Vice Minister for the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in China said, "We can guarantee food safety."
Starting in December 2006, news media had reported to the world on tainted (poisonous) products manufactured and exported from China. China denied the allegations but a steady "drip, drip, drip" of news revealed tainted pet foods, seafood, toothpaste, medical supplies, children's custard and even children's toys painted with lead based paint.
But, by still claiming that food products from China were completely safe last June, China in fact demonstrated that it "didn't get it." China doesn't know what almost every experienced American movie star, politician and prominent sports figure knows or will soon hear about as soon as a scandal breaks: come clean.
On August 4, 2007, the official China news agency Xinhua quoted the deputy head of the State Food and Drug Administration, Hui Lusheng, as saying "Dealing with and preventing food safety risks is a long-term, arduous and complicated project." Finally, a probably reliable admission from China.
Why does China "not get it"? Why, when a crisis or scandal breaks, does China at first issue a denial and only reverse course once the mess is a firestorm?
First, China does not have a fully free and open media. During many scandals, especially largely internal scandals, China gets away without telling the truth or suffering consequences.
The second reason many believe that China generally denies the truth to escape responsibility and public scorn is more complicated, cultural and deeply rooted in the communist system.
Because China and other communist countries have no free and open elections, the communist party and its officials stay in power using a system of coercion, force and putting down public unhappiness – sometimes ruthlessly and violently.
Public confidence among the Chinese in their government is not widespread. Public obedience from the countryside to edicts from Beijing are often ignored.
China has another problem: with 1.3 billion people and an immense land mass, seemingly small problems are often found to be huge.
In last spring's tainted pet food scandal, China at first denied any wrongdoing.
But western reporters found that the pet food was largely poisoned by a product called melamine, which is used in fertilizer and plastics. Using melamine, Chinese manufacturers reduced production costs while still charging customers top dollar: as if beef or other high quality protein products had been used in the pet food.
Melamine is a prohibited substance in American pet food according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, melamine is a widely accepted fertilizer in China. And farmers mix it into livestock feed, pet food and other products because it is plentiful, inexpensive and usually undetected.
When the reporters in China followed up on this story, they asked some farmers why China couldn't just stomp out those few using melamine. Farmers told them everyone used melamine this way since the 1950s. The reporters wrote their findings under the headline, "Filler in Animal Feed Is Open Secret in China."
The China government has a three phase plan for dealing with a crisis. The food safety scandal gives us a perfect example.Phase one is denial, phase two is a flurry of activity that does little good but serves to distract the media, and phase three is the "come clean and solve (or at least seem to solve) the problem phase."In 2003, China faced an epidemic of a disease called Severe Acute Reparatory Syndrome (SARS).
As the story broke that the disease was reaching epidemic proportions in Vietnam and Singapore, China didn't make a sound.
Then China started issuing denials. Sure enough, after many denials of any medical problem in China, news reports began to come out of China that it, too, was experiencing SARS but that the problem was being competently managed. Phase two was on.
Near the end of the crisis China began to escort news people around hospitals and other facilities to demonstrate the professionalism and medical readiness of China's system.
It was then that many realized the government of China responded the same way to every crisis. I documented my conclusions in a Washington Times commentary on Sunday, May 4, 2003.
Recall the Bird Flu crisis? Phases One, Two and Three were used again.
The bottom line is this: China has now established the unenviable record as a government that cannot be trusted in many cases: especially when a crisis darkens China's door.
John E. Carey is former president of International Defense Consultants, Inc. and a frequent contributor to the Washington Times. He has lived in and studied China.
The article above appears in the Washington Times today, August 8, 2007, at:
Human rights questions remain for China
China, Vietnam and Russia: Torrid Economies, Rampant Lawlessness
China Planning a Surreal Facade for Summer Olympic Games: Beijing 2008
China Awarded First Olympic Gold Medal (In Human Rights Abuse)
People Living Under Communism: Very Limited Rights (If Any)
In this run up to the Beijing Summer Olympics over the course of the next year, you'll see many "happy face" "news" reports from westerners in China. As I was writing the essay above, Meredith Viera of the NBC TODAY show was sampling food in China during a report from China. Of course, NBC has a huge contract to televise the 2008 Summer games and is in no position to offer any criticism or balanced and rational reporting from China.
So there is a different view of China, an alternative to NBCs, that needs to be known and understood.
And oh, by the way: The web sites of The Washington Times and Peace and Freedom are "blocked " in China and unavailable to internet users inside China.

Spark Your Creativity Challenge #4 is well under way and I know you are all busy getting ready for the holiday season. However, I'm sure you all still managing to sneak in a little craft time - I certainly am :-)
Here is my little bit of half way inspiration for you. My snowman is a digital image from the Polka Doodles CD Picknix Collection 2 - Gingerbread Twist. I love this CD.
For this card I didn't want to over colour my snowman in bright colours, as he is meant to look a bit tatty - so I used browns for his jacket to make him look a little worn out.

The second-degree murder trial of Scott Wesley Humphreys, 49, of Longview is now under way. Today's Daily News reports on the first day of testimony, with prosecutors claiming that an agitated and obsessed Humphreys shot his uncle at point-blank range, while the defense is claiming that Humphreys shot and killed David "Lonny" Peterson, 62, in self-defense. It's reported that Humphreys was obsessed with the so-called December 21st "Mayan Apocalypse," and had stayed up the entire night before the shooting to see if the world was going to end. Deputy Prosecutor James Smith says Humphreys was thinking "dark thoughts" due to the prophecy. After a night of drinking, Humphreys reportedly went to his uncle's apartment, and asked to see his gun. It's claimed that Humphreys was "agitated and angry," and ended up shooting Peterson in the abdomen. Defense attorney Terry Mulligan claims that Peterson had become "bossy" to Humphreys in the days leading up to the shooting, ordering him around and threatening Humphrey's loved ones if he didn't do what Peterson said. He claims that there was a struggle over the gun, Humphreys was able to pull it away, and then Humphreys shot his uncle as the bigger man charged. Testimony continues today in the trial, which is expected to last about a week.

ID Thief Booked
Longview Police assisted the Lewis County Sheriff's Office in locating and arresting a suspected identity thief. Around 12:40 pm, Longview Officers were to a residence in the 2600 block of Ocean Beach Highway, where they picked up Deborah Marie Wisner. She was turned over to Detectives from Lewis County, and then was booked into the Lewis County Jail on a single county of identity theft. Wisner is currently being held without bail on that charge; details surrounding her arrest haven't yet been disclosed.
Super Bowl Scanners
Be aware that local law enforcement plans to be out in force Sunday evening, looking for impaired drivers heading home from Super Bowl celebrations. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that Super Bowl Sunday is one of the most dangerous days of the year for drunk drivers; statistics show that 43 percent of traffic fatalities on that day are due to impaired drivers. Officers from local police departments will be joining with Sheriff's Deputies and the State Patrol, aggressively seeking out drunk drivers over this coming weekend.
Lottery Thief Pleads
Katrina Bowen, 37, of Winlock is pleading guilty to stealing $178,000 in scratch-off lottery tickets from the convenience store that she was working at in Toledo. The Centralia Chronicle reports that Bowen entered her guilty plea earlier this week in Lewis County Superior Court, admitting that she stole about 500 lottery tickets per day over several months as she worked at the Toledo Flying K. The maximum prison term for first-degree theft is 15 years in prison, but someone with Bowen's criminal background would have a standard sentencing range of zero to 90 days. However, because Bowen has pleaded guilty to a "special circumstance," the judge could impose an exceptional sentence. The date for sentencing wasn't announced.
Columbia County Stand Down
The Columbia County Community Action Team is putting on a Veterans Stand Down event tomorrow at the Columbia County Fairgrounds in St. Helens. Homeless veterans will be brought in to have access to a variety of support services and basic needs, looking to connect those veterans with the resources they need to start rebuilding their lives. The Columbia County Stand Down will run from 9 am to 5 pm tomorrow, and is open to all area veterans and their families.
Weyco Results
Weyerhaeuser reported fourth-quarter and full-year results this morning, and while the company reported a profit, some after-tax charges kept the financial picture being even better.

The full-year earnings also include after-tax charges of 114 million dollars for "special items," mostly dealing with a previously announced "real estate impairment." Fourth-quarter-share earnings came in at 27 cents per share, "missing the Street" by a penny. CEO Doyle Simmons says that they're working to be a "truly great company" for shareholders, and were able to double earning in 2013, along with increasing dividends by 30 percent. Looking ahead in the first quarter of 2014, Weyco is expecting "significantly higher" earnings in the Timberland sector, higher earnings in Wood Products, and lower earnings in the Cellulose Fibers sector.

Two or three days before you plan to roast the turkey, combine 3 tablespoons salt, the rosemary and lemon zest. Wash the turkey inside and out, drain it well and pat it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the salt mixture in the cavity of the turkey and rub the rest on the skin, including under the wings and legs. Place the turkey in a shallow dish to catch any drips and wrap the whole dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one or two days. The day before you plan to roast the turkey, remove the plastic wrap and leave the turkey in the fridge. The skin will dry out and turn a little translucent.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Be sure your oven is very clean!
Place the onion, lemon and thyme in the cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tie the wings close to the body. Brush the turkey with the butter and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
Roast the turkey for 45 minutes, placing it in the oven legs first. Lower the temperature to 325 degrees F and roast it for about another hour, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F in the breast and 180 degrees F in the thigh. Remove from the oven, cover the turkey tightly with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
Carve and serve with the pan juices.

From the minute I woke up this morning, I was anticipating the excitement of going up to Kenscoff to see the kids at the tent camp, the orphans from Les Amis de Jesus orphanage, the WWO Toy Library, and the dance performance at the Kenscoff Community Center.
I definitely could not have predicted what we experienced today. As I look back at the day, din the cool of the mountains above Port-au-Prince, I can't get those shiny and needy Haitian faces out of my mind. I still feel their bodies snuggled against my chest and the weight of them on my knees and thighs. Kids who are traumatized by loss, hunger, and lack of stimulation have an odd sense of themselves. They are not the same as children who have the unconditional love of an adult, a full belly and a busy life, filled with school and play. Play is, after all, the work that fills children's brains with synapses, which transform the neurons into connections that are the intellectual power of their being. The equation is clear:
no play = fewer synapses = less intellectual ability = developmental delays.
The children of Haiti are starving. Their hair has a distinct orange tinge from lack of appropriate nutrients. This chronic lack of micronutrients and appropriate calorie numbers easily results in growth stunting and failure to thrive. The children I see are thin waifs who are often tired and listless with empty faces. Whether or not they have family, they have little zest and vitality. They are physically and emotionally fragile.
From the time of their birth, millions of Haitian children are at risk. Yet, inexplicably, they live their lives daily, "avec espoir," i.e., with hope that things will change. Haitian children have many moments of joy and happiness, and I was privy to such a moment on Saturday.
Nick, Andrew, and Samantha are my companions on this trip; Nick and Andrew are WWO board members and Samantha is a WWO supporter interested in learning more about our work; all had children on their laps and entertaining them by showing them how to use cameras; but all the children really wanted was our love and attention, and we were happy to give it. There's no plan among the adults to do this -- it just happens quietly and naturally, and there you are for hours just sitting with those delicious children.
We started off with the children at the tent camp, which is composed of 15 families who lost their homes in the earthquake. We came into the camp and greeted the parents and children and in moments we were all cozy and holding hands. The kids walked up two by two to the Toy Library at the Community Center, and we all then sat down in the space and played "Je m'appelle" and clapped and sang.
I was so proud to be in the WWO Toy Library, with its wooden shelves painted in primary colors and sanitized with vinegar each morning (to prevent mold) by the eager toy librarians ("ludotheque" in Creole). The laminated cards, printed in English and Creole, show how the toys can be used to develop specific skills. The librarians proudly displayed the cards and demonstrated their uses. It was very clear to me that this Toy Library is working just as well as our eight WWO Toy Libraries in Bulgarian orphanages, thousands of miles away.
After we all got to know one another and then dispersed to other fun activities like Nerf ball and drawing, I began interviewing some children to learn about their personal experiences as orphans. WWO is celebrating the spirit of the orphan this year and I wanted to understand the thoughts and feelings of the children.
We interviewed a few girls who were about nine years old, some, but not all of whom are orphans. I enjoyed watching them successfully process some challenging questions, and they taught me a lot about life in Haiti for children and about their emotional development. This will help us better serve their needs in our programs.
Then I spoke to Inez, a 15-year-old "social" orphan. The vast majority of orphans in Haiti (and most likely in the rest of the world) are social orphans: their parents are alive, but for many reasons, they are not raising their children.
Inez' parents live in Hinche, a farming town many hours from Kenscoff. A married couple in Kenscoff created an orphanage, "Les Amis de Jesus" and it is filled with social orphans from Hinche. Our country coordinator will go to Hinche to learn more, but what Inez did tell us was that her parents were too poor to take care of her, and that while some siblings were at home, she and her brother were placed at the orphanage. She was quite able, after some misgivings, to share with us that she was sad to not be with her parents in Hinche, and that her parents were unhappy as well.
Inez's goals for the future are very focused. She wants to study hard and achieve in school so that she can get a job and go back to Hinche and help her parents. She has visited with her parents most recently a couple of months ago when they came from Hinche to Kenscoff.
My next interview was with a group of four young women, Yolaine, Mykerlange, Achena, and Marjorie, from our WWO Youth2Children (Y2C) program. We trained them to work with young children at our Toy Library. They are all in their early-to-mid 20s and were orphaned as children -- either one or both parents died as a result of chronic adult health issues in Haiti: high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or kidney failure.
These young people live either with the remaining parent or a relative. They were with me during the interviews of the young children and I asked them how they felt about those interviews. They told me that they thought that it was a good idea to ask children how they really feel because most of the time, people don't know what children think and frankly don't care.
They also were very honest about the challenges in their own lives. They love being ludotheques because they believe that this helps the children with their development, but they are all searching for careers that will allow them to be independent in the future. They are ambitious.
Two of them want to be nurses and one, who has studied finance, wants to go into business. The fourth woman, Mykerlange, would like to find a "craft" that will suit her. They all want to marry and have children, but only when they are ready. I am happy that they are planning their lives, which is not how it is for most poor young women around the world. For most poor girls and women, there are no choices: they are raped or married off or enslaved ("restavek" in Haiti).
As Yolaine so observed, "If you love life, you have hope (espoir), no matter what the circumstances." Espoir -- what a beautiful word.
When I asked what they needed, they were all clear that they needed financial support to achieve their professional goals. WWO is moving strategically in the right direction. We are focused on integrating orphans into their own communities, and getting children ready for the real world. We are helping youth get the education required to have the jobs that will give them choices. Only in this way can they be independent and successful in their own communities. We already have a College Assistance Program (CAP) in Serbia, and our first college graduate, Maja, is working at a preschool and loving it. I am eager and confident that WWO can raise the money to help young people be ready for a successful life. That is our goal for every child we serve.
More later about the dance extravaganza on Saturday afternoon... and the surprise finale.

Crash Bandicoot proves that some things are better left in the past.
There was a time when major video game companies paid way too much attention to console mascots. Back in 1996, Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic the Hedgehog and Sony desperately wanted a mascot that represented its console. Enter Crash Bandicoot, the protagonist of a series of platformers created by Naughty Dog. Although Crash shares many similarities with Nintendo's plumber and Sega's hedgehog, there's one particular aspect that differentiates Naughty Dog's platformer from the aforementioned titles: unlike most Super Mario and Sonic titles, Crash Bandicoot has aged poorly.
As in most platformers, the story is simple enough. An evil scientist known as Neo Cortex has altered the genes of a bandicoot and the result of such experiment was Crash, a marsupial with special powers. Since the malevolent doctor kidnapped Crash's girlfriend Tawna, the titular character will explore three Australian islands to rescue his lover and ruin Neo Cortex's plans of world domination.
To explore the hostile environments, Crash can perform two types of attacks: jumping over enemies and spinning. But apart from foes, the levels are filled with boxes that have wumpa fruits (collecting 100 of them rewards you with a life) witch doctor masks (collecting one shields you from an attack and collecting three of them make you invincible for a limited time) 1UP items, checkpoints and so on. But not all boxes give you beneficial items, TNT crates, for instance, explode if you perform an attack near them. There are also gems and keys. Gems are awarded after clearing a stage and you can use gems to return to areas already visited. Keys, on the other hand, let Crash enter secret areas.
Apart from regular levels, Crash will enter bonus rounds which are one of the game's most important stages. Some levels have bonus tokens hidden inside regular chests. Collecting three of these items immediately transports you to a bonus round where there are usually dozens of wumpa fruits, extra lives and so on. Nevertheless, the most important feature about these bonus rounds is that they let you save your valuable progress.
Interestingly, most of the levels take inspiration from classic games (such as Super Mario 64) and classic films (the India Jones boulder scene appears a couple of times.) But even though Crash Bandicoot's levels are in 3D, they are quite restrictive and exploring them in an open-way is simply not possible. Nevertheless, there's a variety of levels. Some of them encourage you to run towards the camera as a giant boulder approaches, but the main problem with these levels is that you can't see what's ahead of you before you jump, so every jump feels like a leap of faith. There are also levels where you mount a pig that never stops running, so the only thing you can do is jump or move from left to right to avoid obstacles.
At the end of each leg of your journey, you'll face some anthropomorphic characters. Each of these encounters encourages you to find the most effective way to make damage to the boss. Sometimes you need to pick up items and throw them, wait for an opening to attack or activate TNT crates so that they explode near the boss. Sometimes you need to activate crates right before the boss jumps near them, throw lava rocks to damage the boss and so on.
Unfortunately, Crash Bandicoot is plagued with inconsistencies proper of platformers of the PlayStation era. Although Super Mario Bros. is an obvious inspiration, Crash lacks the finesse in the controls so characteristic of Nintendo's flagship series. In Crash, controls are imprecise and jumping is a clumsy mess. This issue is aggravated due to the 3D environments. Identifying where you need to jump according to your position is always difficult. As a consequence, you'll find yourself performing blind jumps over and over. Naturally, this translates into a process of trial-and-error, not to mention death after death. Not only is dying frustrating, but if you lose all your lives, you're transported to the last save.
Which brings me to my next point: the antiquated save system. Basically, the only way you can save your progress is in bonus rounds. The problem is that the bonus rounds are traditional levels in the sense that you can die in them. If you die in a bonus round (by falling off a ledge, for instance,) the game will send you back to the level you were in and you lose the opportunity of saving your progress. So if you lose all your lives (and chances are you will,) you'll be taken to your last save which probably took place a few levels back and you'll have to replay a handful of levels all over again.
Since properly saving the game becomes pretty much impossible at one point, you'll have to rely on passwords (remember those?) to continue playing. Needless to say, this isn't the most convenient way of playing the game, but since looking up a combination of random numbers and letters is easier (and faster) than replaying the last few hours, this is probably the best solution if you want to make progress.
Sadly, the save system isn't the only problem with Crash Bandicoot. Difficulty ranges from unfair to mean-spirited. Platforms that fall as soon as you step on them, blind jumps and slippery surfaces are simply a recipe for frustration. And when a given level features all the aforementioned, plus a few tricks of its own, you'll start cursing at the developers for making you replay entire sections of the game over and over. Since making a single mistake means losing a life and restarting from the last checkpoint, you'll be extra careful when it comes to exploring the levels. As a consequence, Crash Bandicoot lacks the ebb and flow so characteristic of Super Mario Bros.
As you make progress, the game doesn't become more difficult, but more unfair instead. Blind jumps are suddenly more common, there are fewer checkpoints, enemies use cheap tricks and so on. If you want to see the game's ending (which by the way is nothing special,) you'll have to rely on hours of repetition, passwords and sometimes sheer luck, which is likely to run out sooner or later.
In the end, Crash Bandicoot is a mean-spirited platformer that doesn't respect you or your time. The harsh difficulty, antiquated save-system and clumsy controls make the game feel not old-fashioned, but simply old. No matter how you look at it, Crash Bandicoot is a game that hasn't aged gracefully. I guess some things are better left in the past after all.

Try These Nutritional Tips Before You Hit the Gym
Try These Nutritional Tips Before You Hit the Gym
The two most commonly recognized cycles are bulking and cutting. Simply put, bulking is the period during which you focus on a calorie rich diet to fuel massive gains in muscle and strength. The cutting period involves fewer calories with the goal of reducing the fat, and emphasizing the muscle you earned during bulking. What are the best things to eat so you get the most out of each cycle? Find out below.
What to eat before and during bulking
You will place serious demands on your body during the bulking cycle. You will need the nutritional support to meet those demands. Consume protein, carbohydrates and fat. Aim for 6 to 8 meals each day. How many calories is right for you will depend on your size, body type and goals. Generally, 4,000 to 6,000 calories per day during the bulking cycle is enough to support the gains you are after.
Good protein choices include:
Peanut butter – also a source of fat
Dairy products such as cheese and yogurt – you have the option of full fat or low fat products
Avocados – also a good source of fat
Good sources of carbohydrates
Steel cut oats
Sweet and white potatoes – jackets on for fiber
Grains such as quinoa, freekah and brown rice
Get your fat from omega-3 fish oil supplements, sauté with olive oil and keep nuts like walnuts on hand for healthy fats
How virtuous you are will depend on your goals. If clean bulking (and not a vegetarian) you will want to choose grass feed beef and lean cuts of turkey or chicken sans the skin. Not worried about clean bulking? This is your big chance to enjoy burgers, chicken nuggets, cheese dip and full fat dairy products.
But take care…bulking isn't only about muscles; it is also about mind, mood and your immune system, too. Dirty bulking i.e. junk food should be an occasional treat not a daily habit. Don't use bulking as an excuse to load up on crap. You'll gain excess fat and you'll feel just like the crap you ate.
What to eat before and during cutting
Time to start cutting calories but don't be too drastic with your eating plan. Severe restrictions or calorie deficits are not sustainable…it is only a matter of time before you cave and then gorge. The other drawback is that severe calorie restrictions can wreak havoc on your metabolism, which would defeat the purpose for cutting in the first place. Just plan your menu a day in advance so you don't randomly go off the food deep end.
Good protein choices includes
Fish, such as salmon
Grass fed beef
Lean turkey and chicken
Low fat dairy
Nuts – also a source of healthy fat
Add some fruits and veggies
Leafy greens
Don't forget the whole grains. Forget the simple carbs like white flour and pasta. During the cutting phase it is complex carbs like whole grain bread and oatmeal, ideally not the quick cooking kind.
Some final advice…
Don't forget your vitamins and supplements. Crazymass offers legal, hardcore anabolics for bulking and cutting. Our five star bulking stack includes D-Anaoxn, Testosteroxn, Deckadrolone, and T-Bal 75. Try it yourself for results in about 30 days. Our cutting stack includes Paravar, Testosteroxn, Winnidrol, and Clentrimix to help you burn fat and get cut quickly. All of our products are made using natural ingredients in FDA certified labs. No prescriptions or injections are required. Order without legal hassles, put in the work, and get the look, strength and performance you want with Crazymass.

First change to the law introduced by the John Howard government in 2001 was the Family and Community Services Legislation Amendment (New Zealand Citizens) Bill 2001.
The brackets ( ) show that this group are EXCLUDED. Imagine if it said this, (homosexuals), (Asians), (people with dark skin), (people with blonde hair), (elderly) or (disabled), there would be an absolute uproar. Yet it says (New Zealand Citizens) and nobody bats an eyelid.
To exclude a particular group based on nationality one would think is discrimination but in Australia they have altered their own laws to say discrimination based on immigration is in fact NOT discrimination. Therefore, protecting the government from any legal challenges.
In other words, they have created laws to protect themselves from any wrongdoing whatsoever or possible breaches of human and/or civic rights.
