The NFL has always been a copy-cat league. With the success of the zone-read option this season in San Francisco, Seattle, Washington and elsewhere, coaching staffs from around the league are bound to spend the majority of their offense studying to see how to either add to their offensive playbook or try to figure out ways to stop it.
According to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com, Tennessee offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains plans on adding some zone-read elements to the Titans offense in order to take advantage of quarterback Jake Locker's athletic abilities. Loggains plans on taking a look at the offenses of the Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks to see what, if anything, they want to add to their offensive repertoire.
"We're going to do just like every team in the league and look at clubs like Seattle and Washington. We're still very early in the process of building this offense, but we're definitely gonna look at all that stuff, just like every team in the NFL is gonna do," Loggains said.
Tennessee will have to be careful how much they are willing to put Locker at risk for injury by adding more quarterback running options to the playbook. Locker already was forced to have surgery on his non-throwing shoulder in January. As someone who watched Locker play a majority of his college games at Washington, Locker's not the best at avoiding hits anyway. He will lower his head to try and pick up extra yards and take unnecessary blows more frequently than he should.
Trying to find the right balance in play-calling and Locker's ability to stay healthy will be the biggest keys for the Titans being able to find consistent success if the zone-read becomes an increased focus of their playbook next season.

Responding to a viral campaign started Monday evening on Twitter, New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow called an upstate New York teen who was seriously injured in a car accident, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.
Matt Hardy, a 17-year-old Shenendehowa High School student, suffered a concussion and broken bones in a car accident that killed two fellow students, according to reports. A driver in the other vehicle failed sobriety tests at the scene.
Shortly after the accident, the hashtag #TebowCallMatt trended nationally on Twitter. Before long, more than 50,000 Twitter users had retweeted the hashtag, according to Cimini.
The word got to Tebow, who called Hardy just two hours after the hashtag was first posted. Hardy's brother, Michael, tweeted: "TIM TEBOW JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MATT! SUCH A CLASS ACT!!"
Tebow later took to Twitter to discuss the call.
Thanks to everyone who got #TebowCallMatt trending & helped connect us. Matt truly inspired me. God bless y'all- Tim Tebow (@TimTebow) December 4, 2012
It's been a difficult season on the field for Tebow, but that doesn't seem to have changed who he is.

Bipartisanship and cross-party alliances are suddenly in vogue in the Senate this spring. The question is whether the Senate is a leading indicator of a change in politics or largely an aberration in a nation divided along red and blue lines.
On guns and immigration, senators from both parties have worked for months to craft legislative compromises. A guns bill began its journey Thursday after the Senate invoked cloture, but its future is uncertain. A compromise immigration bill could be unveiled this week, with growing optimism that Congress will approve a comprehensive reform measure this year, though it faces an equally difficult debate, particularly in the House.
Meanwhile, senators from both parties are looking for ways to break the gridlock over the deficit and fiscal issues. President Obama's dinners with Republican senators are aimed in part at helping nurture such a compromise, though there are few signs of an imminent breakthrough on a problem that has defied a solution for almost the entirety of Obama's presidency.
All of that represents progress after four years of confrontation, conflict and stalemate. Certainly the 2012 election played some role in changing the climate in Washington, particularly on immigration. The Republican deficit among Hispanic voters in particular has helped change the politics on that issue.
But for all the hopeful signs in Washington, there is considerable evidence that the country is still deeply divided, ideologically and geographically. Those divisions, which will show up when these volatile issues hit the House floor later this year, could stymie Washington's ability to pass laws to manage some of these problems. The splits also will continue to shape the elections of 2014 and 2016.
The 2012 elections may have provided a wake-up call for Republicans on issues such as immigration, alerting GOP leaders to the general problems they face in presidential races. But the results also highlighted the degree to which the country's partisan gaps keep widening — to the detriment and benefit of each party.
Obama defeated Mitt Romney by a margin of about 4 percentage points, hardly close to a landslide. But the state-by-state votes tell another story. Only a few presidential cycles ago, the competitive landscape was thought to include about 16 states. Last November, the number of truly competitive states was as small as anyone could remember in a competitive election — fewer than 10 certainly.
In the end, just four states — Florida, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina — were decided by margins of 5 points or fewer. But 28 states were decided by margins of 15 percentage points or more. For comparison purposes, go back to the 1988 election, which George H.W. Bush won by a margin of about 8 points. In that election, 12 states were decided by 5 or fewer points, while only 18 were decided by 15 points or more.
Bill Bishop and Robert G. Cushing, who wrote "The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart," have estimated the percentage of the population that lives in what they call landslide counties, where the winner's margin in presidential elections is 20 points or more. In 1976, about a quarter of the U.S. population lived in these landslide counties, but the number has grown steadily since. In 2012, just over half the population resided in landslide counties.
County-by-county voting patterns have hardened over time. There are more than 3,000 counties in the country. Between 2004 and 2008, just 382 counties changed from one party to the other in the presidential vote. Last November, just over 200 counties switched parties.
These kinds of schisms not only affect presidential voting patterns but also the structure of the House of Representatives. Charlie Cook's authoritative Cook Political Report, with the assistance of Clark Bensen of Polidata, has done a fresh ranking of House districts and found, not surprisingly, that the number of swing districts has declined by about 45 percent in the past quarter-century, from 164 to 90.
As the parties have become more homogenized, and as split-ticket voting has declined, House districts align more closely to presidential voting patterns. In today's House, there are just 17 districts that were won by Obama in Republican hands. Conversely, just nine districts won by Romney are held by the Democrats.
The Cook Report's David Wasserman noted that, despite the fact that the presidential race was closer in 2012 than in 2008, three-quarters of Democratic House districts became more Democratic and three-fifths of Republican districts became more Republican.
Rhodes Cook, an independent analyst of elections, said recently that Democrats are now the presidential party while Republicans are the congressional party — the opposite of the situation during the 1970s and 1980s.
Democrats now hold a clear advantage in the Electoral College, with 18 states and the District having voted for the Democratic nominee in six consecutive elections. Together they total 242 electoral votes, only 28 short of the 270 needed to win the presidency.
Republicans, however, have the advantage in the House, thanks to the shape of the districts. Republicans lost the popular vote in the House last fall but kept control of the chamber. That advantage is due to a combination of the effects of redistricting and the general geographic sorting out that has been taking place.
These geographic patterns influence what is happening in the states. Many more states now have governors and legislatures held by the same party, with Republicans controlling more states than Democrats. These governors and legislatures in red and blue states are moving in opposite directions, as a new article in the National Journal by Ronald Brownstein and Stephanie Czekalinski points out.
While the Maryland legislature under Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) has moved left on guns, taxes and the death penalty, state legislatures where Republicans are in control, such as Louisiana, North Dakota and Kansas, have moved right on fiscal and social issues. North Dakota recently passed the most restrictive abortion law in the country.
It's possible that the work in the Senate this spring shows a softening of the rigid lines that have shaped politics over the past decade. At the least, there is a greater bipartisan desire to try to deal with some long-standing issues. If the president and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) can reach agreement on a fiscal package to deal with the deficit, that would be the biggest breakthrough of all.
But the reality is that these other factors are still pushing the country apart. The current divisions have been years in the making. Whether Washington politicians can — or truly want to — do something to narrow them is what this year is all about.

A history of aviation spanning 93 years at the Conway Arkansas Municipal Airport (Cantrell Field) has recently been published. The authors, Robert Hoyt, Al Hiegel, Stuart Hoyt, and Harrell Clendenin, have long ties to aviation and the Conway Airport. The bound paper-back book contains 238 pages of more than 72,000 words of narrative and is amply illustrated with more than 280 colored and black and white pictures.
The work is a compilation of published historical events taken mostly from newspaper articles and memories recorded from veteran pilots and aviation enthusiasts that span the period 1917 to 2010. The narrative tracks the history of local aviation from the first accounts of airplane landings in and around Conway through all the airport developments and management lessee periods beginning with the Conway Airways Corporation down to today's Cope's Aircraft Services (Conway Aviation Service). Special attention is focused on airplanes of the different eras and the pilots who owned and flew them. The history of the Civil Air Patrol in Conway is described from 1950-1995. Particular consideration is given to Dennis Cantrell and the important role he played in developing, managing, and expanding the airport. Lastly, the discussions, hearings, and steps in deciding the relocation of the airport to the Lollie Bottoms are chronicled.
In a follow-up to the information contained in the book, if anyone has pictures or stories they would like to share about the people and activities associated with the Conway Airport throughout its history, the authors would welcome this information. Please feel free to forward them via email to Robert Hoyt at firstname.lastname@example.com

As I sometimes do, I was browsing the web looking for column ideas when I found out that I�ve been shampooing my hair all wrong.
As I sometimes do, I was browsing the web looking for column ideas when I found out that I�ve been shampooing my hair all wrong.
Maria Del Russo, PopSugar beauty editor, says you have to saturate your hair for three to four minutes to make sure your hair is really, really wet. Then, after washing your hair, you have to rinse it very, very thoroughly.
She also advises against piling hair on top, which I pretty much can�t help since that�s where most of my hair is, and using fingertips and not nails, which isn�t a problem for me.
Lather rinse repeat? No, no, no. And wash your hair once or twice a week because all that oil, dirt and dandruff are good for your hair. Besides, daily shampooings will cause water shortages.
High winds caused sporadic power outages on Friday, and Sarah, who was out doing errands, was giving me a running total during her drive around town.
She wondered why one grocery store still had power and found out that it has a high-tech generator.
�In the apocalypse, this is where you want to go,� Sarah said.
I think that goes without saying.
An internet meme shows Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and asks the question: �If Kanye and Kim were both drowning and you only had time to save one, what kind of sandwich would you make?� I�ll go with the roast beef.
Wal-Mart Inc. stores in China have recalled donkey meat after tests revealed it was contaminated by fox meat. The recall is not valid in the 50 states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
There are reports that singer Clay Aiken is considering a run for North Carolina�s 2nd Congressional District, as a Democrat.
Business Insider is reporting that Staples is replacing its �That Was Easy� slogan with �Make More Happen.� I don�t think I will be pushing any �Make More Happen� buttons.
According to C|Net, a city councilman for Indian Trail, N.C., submitted a resignation letter written in Klingon. It was the honorable thing to do.
Kim Jong Un reportedly fed his uncle alive to 120 dogs that had been starved for five days. Obviously this took some planning, if it�s true. A Washington Post blogger cast doubt on the report. It was previously reported that the North Korean leader�s uncle had been executed by heavy machine guns. When forced to choose, I�d go with roast beef.
Colorado, the marijuana capital of America. If you have plans to travel there, remember that you can only buy a quarter ounce unless you live there. Personally, I don�t care for the stuff. A shout-out to Ben & Jerry�s Ice Cream, which is reporting a run on its products there.
Hercules, the storm. Big news in the Northeast, but it sure made things cold here. There was no bragging to my Western relatives about 82 degree weather.
Sarah, Mark and I made it out to the 8 p.m. New Year�s Eve Parade in Oriental. I touched the tail, the face, a tooth and helped carry the Oriental dragon. We skipped the blackeyed peas and greens on New Year�s Day, so maybe it will even out.
Thanks for letting me take up some of your Sunday morning.

Looks cool: But 'white out' doesn't slow FSU
The UVA athletic department tried something novel for the October 2 home game against ACC powerhouse Florida State University: giving every Cavalier fan a t-shirt to create a "white out" in the stands. Alas, the Seminoles didn't seem affected by the blizzard conditions as they chopped their way to a 34-14 victory. (Somebody put one of the shirts on the statue to aviator James Rogers McConnell.)
15 comments
There's nothing as scary as facing a blank, white t-shirt.
Good thing the "Vast conspiracy" didn't limit the wasteful t-shirt budget.
No, some bleep just bought 47,000 t-shirts with proceeds from things such as football ticket sales.
UVa football is back where it was pre-George Welsh. Congratulations on reversing the clock.
I kind of enjoyed the Dick Bestwick era back then. Tickets were cheap, and you could laugh at the drunk students rolling down the hill. Hopefully the ticket prices will come down soon.
surly and old, UVa is technically a state school but only receives 6-7% (last I saw) of its yearly budget from the state, so I wouldn't worry about a few t-shirts.
UVA is a state school, right?
Therefore some bleep just bought 47,000 t-shirts with my taxes?!?
Gee Whiz, Bless My Buttons, and a lot of other stuff I can think of to say that Mr. Spencer won't allow...
I wish they could have done an "orange out" but this is the way they (the football powers) try to get the fans reinvorgated and involved. It will take a while and many more wins before the fans return with the vigor desired. As for 25 years of rebuilding, I don't buy into that - there have been several decent seasons, and when teams were playing only 11 regular season games, Virginia had the distinction of being on of a few teams that won 7 games/year (from 87-99). In those years, we knocked of FSU for their first ACC loss, and finally beat Clemson, which is now a more competitive series. I am confident that Mike London will take us back to that level. Go 'Hoos!
You misspelled IX titles.
UVa sports won a record 8 acc titles last year.
Why is my comment awaiting moderation?
cut them some slack. it's a "rebuilding" year. of course, just like the rest of UVA, they've been "rebuilding" for 25 years.
So how come the sports promotion department gets everyone in the Stadium to wear white EXCEPT THE HOME TEAM! The fans were wearing the colors of the visiting Seminoles the entire game. It looked ridiculous.
Looks like just a normal game at UVa. 75% of the seats look empty. Maybe that's their plan. Just say everyone had white shirts on. it's not really an empty stadium
Wow, anyone have an aerial of the stadium empty? It would be indistinguishable. Stupidest idea ever. What was wrong with tons of fans wearing in orange shirts they bought?
I thought the lads played with a lot of pluck,
bless their hearts.
The universal sign of abject surrender, right?
No mas, no mas!

Catriona - Ambassador
Hi, my name is Catriona and I'm your new YE Ambassador representing Scotland and the North of England.
I'll tell you a bit about myself.
I've just turned 16 years old and have been going to YE since I was about 9. I have learned lots and met lots of new people along the way. Our group meets every fortnight and we are given a project to work on (sometimes over 2 sessions). My favourites have been wet felt making, crocheted wire jewellery and machine embroidery.
We have links with the wardrobe Department at Scottish Opera and we get to go on annual visits there. I was also lucky enough to do my school work placement there recently which was a fab experience.
I love to create whether it's drawing, stitching or any craft really. I get my inspiration mostly from nature (it's a bit clichéd but it's true) and from places I've been to, especially cities like Venice! I take lots of photos wherever I go. I bought my camera with money I won in a national school art competition and I just love it – I'm saving up for a fish-eye lens for it now. When I went to Germany with the orchestra I took over 400 photos and I was only there for a weekend most of which was spent indoors rehearsing!
My photos are my source material and I also collect 'stuff' I like when I'm out and about. I keep everything just in case. Luckily I have a big walk-in cupboard just for my arty crafty stuff. I could never live a minimalist life!
In my spare time I draw, stitch, create and read. I'm trying to find time to make more clothes – I want to make some things to take on holiday this year. I keep an eye on the current fashion as well as what my mum would call 'alternative taste' (I like brothel creepers, pale pink hair, undercuts and tie-dye t-shirts). I love all things vintage and retro and love going to vintage fairs and seeing all the beaded dresses and accessories. I also love Topshop's range of 'Altered Vintage'.
I'm having a belated 16th birthday party in June after the exams are over and it's going to be a vintage Alice in Wonderland tea party in the garden. I can't wait to start making all the props and decorations but I must get the studying done first. After that I'll get on to making some clothes and then I'll start making steampunk characters (I got a book called 'Steampunk Softies' for Christmas and haven't had time to make any yet). It's going to be the best summer..!
You can see more of my favourite pieces in the Members' Gallery. I have added a few notes just to tell you something about each piece.
Carla – Ambassador
Textiles are a way of using my creativity to reinterpret the beautiful things I see in the world around me.
I am passionate about making and creating visual stories of beauty, involving colour, texture and form. Embellishment and embroidery in turn, inspire me to design and practice a range of textile adornment crafts. I love the fact that "textiles" has no limits and I relish working with a concept in mind. A theme that has always crept into my work is 'Aged opulence or Decaying decadence'.
I have a BA (Hons) in Fashion/Textile Design and well-rounded experience in design, post-graduation. In my final year of university I won an award for my use of colour in textiles and travelled the Fashion capitals exhibiting my work and doing commissions. Upon returning home I became a freelance embellishment designer/maker within ladies Fashion and Accessories, at a range of market levels (Couture, High End High Street & Costume Design).
I have been part of the East Surrey Embroiderers' Guild for the last three years and joined the Young Embroiderers as a Group Helper two years ago. I thoroughly enjoy working with the Young Embroiderers and feel that it is of paramount importance to keep the craft growing through the up and coming generations. I am very excited about the future prospects of the Y.E and proud to be part of it. I am on both of the Guild's committees in my region and enjoy being involved with this great variety of ages.
I have recently completed training to become a teacher within Further Education and I am becoming vastly interested in the idea of becoming an art therapy practitioner. I think this is a wonderful way to work creatively to help people.
Come on, join us today!

GASTONIA � On a night in which the Hunter Huss offense wasn�t sharp and the defense couldn�t slow down Kings Mountain, Kerrion Moore bailed his team out Friday with a series of big plays as the Huskies outlasted the Mountaineers 36-27.
The junior running back/defensive back/kick returner scored four touchdowns on a 104-yard interception, an 82-yard kickoff return, and touchdown catches of 65 and 78 yards while accounting for 338 all-purpose yards.
The Huss defense, which allowed 405 yards of total offense to Kings Mountain and watched quarterback Jonathan Clark complete 24-of-43 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns, shut out the Mountaineers in the second half, picking Clark off twice and forcing two fumbles.
Moore�s first touchdown of the game came on the first play from scrimmage when Andrew Jordan hit him on a 65-yard reception.
Later in the first quarter, Moore returned a kickoff 82 yards to give Huss a 12-10 lead.
In the second half, Moore took over the contest with a 104-yard interception of Clark and a 78-yard pass from Jordan, who finished 4-for-11 for 171 yards.
Without Moore�s interception and kickoff return, the Huss offense managed just 235 yards � 64 rushing and 171 passing.
Moore carried the ball from the backfield only six times and gained nine yards.
Huss (5-2, 2-1 Big South Conference) played with the services of kicker/punter Cody Jones, a soccer player, who was ejected from a match earlier in the week and served a suspension during the football game.
Huskies� defensive back Ryan Ford was removed from the game on a taunting penalty after an incomplete pass in the second quarter.
The game was delayed until 8:04 p.m. due to lightning after an early-evening thunderstorm passed through the area.
Kings Mountain dropped to 2-5 and 0-2 in the Big South.
Receiver Xavier Johnson led the Mountaineers with nine catches for 106 yards. Running back Dashan Guest rushed for 137 yards on 24 attempts.

Moose Lake School Board signs Steen as interim principal
At the regular meeting of the Moose Lake School Board on Monday, May 21, the board discussed the various things happening at the school.
Good things happening include:
– The elementary school raised $858.16 for the American Heart Association with their Jump Rope for Heart event held April 20.
– The All Staff Food Drive collected 32 bags of groceries and $220 for the local food shelf.
– Members of the track team have broken a number of school records this year — Jake Disterhaupt broke the 200 meter record; Josh Cisar broke the 400 meter record, and Michael Pender, Issac Coil, and Jake Disterhaupt broke the 4 x 200 meter relay record.
– Moose Lake was awarded a $10,000 Safe Routes to School Grant from MnDOT.
Kraig Konietzko reports completion of the District 97, Moose Lake Community Schools Local Literacy Plan. This plan meets the plan requirements specified in Mn. Statute 120B.12:
The literacy goal: "It is the goal of the Moose Lake Elementary School to have all students reading at or above grade level no later than the end of grade 3 and that teachers provide comprehensive, scientifically based reading instruction." The school board approved the literacy plan May 21. It will be posted on the school website.
Konietzko reports that 25 children are registered for the Summer Literacy Camp. He is expecting there will be more before the end of the school year.
Student parking
Superintendent Bob Indihar spoke about the problem of students parking their cars on grassy areas near the school. There have been complaints from neighbors, as well as his concerns about damage to the grass. Several ideas were discussed including the use of a wheel lock on the car, with a fine of $15 to have it removed.
There was some discussion regarding the choice of a new school mascot. Suggestions were made that the mascot be dressed in a Rebel outfit.
Other business
The school board also discussed the need for a new policy regarding absence excuse letters. The number of excuse letters went up significantly this past school year. There has been significant absenteeism with working students. The school board will address new policy language to cover this issue.
The Technology Committee is currently discussing a plan regarding the use of texts and/or technology. The committee will develop a vision and goal for the overall plan. Changes in education have made the use of technology an integral piece of current educational practice. The Technology Committee will work with the Finance Committee to make these decisions.
Agenda items that were passed include: a resolution for membership in the Minnesota State High School League; approving membership renewal in the Northern Lights Special Education Cooperative; a resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling the school district general election; approving the Local Literacy Plan; approving the Negotiation Committee's recommendation to increase the playground, lunchroom, and dishwasher staff by .50 per hour; approving the Negotiation Committee recommendations to increase substitute pay rates for paraprofessionals, custodians, playground/lunchroom, cooks, and dishwasher by .50 per hour; tenure was granted to Adam Whelan, Eric Butche, Beth Nersesian, and Renee Visser at the conclusion of this current contract period.
The board did a second reading of policies 202,206,301, 302, 515, 530, 604, 613, 615, 618, 701, 707, 805, and 806. The first reading of the new Health and Safety Policy was presented to the board. The Video Surveillance Other Than on Buses policy was also reviewed.
Billie Jo Steen has accepted the position of interim high school principal and a contract for this position has been signed and approved by the school board by a unanimous vote. Her current position as school counselor will be posted.
Three school board positions will end this year: Jamie Jungers, Lisa Anderson-Reed, and Kristi Skelton-Weisert. A school board election will be held between the dates of July 31 and August 14.
The next regular school board meeting will be on Monday, June 18 at 6 p.m. in room 115.
A working board meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, June 21 at 6 p.m.

John Wooden, the acclaimed UCLA basketball coach who won 10 NCAA championships in a 12-year span, used to start each season by teaching his players the right way to put on their socks and shoes. Now, you'd think that young men would know how to do this by the time they got to college, but the point was actually to drive home a very important fact: Executing the fundamentals makes finding success in all things a lot easier.
Think of your Nike Sneakers Reddit as one of the fundamentals on your journey to a healthy lifestyle. If you're building your body from the ground up, you have to start with your shoes. And, while the athletic industry may make you think that the "right" shoes are all about the "right" fashion, choosing a pair should really be about fit, performance, and injury prevention.
While fashion shouldn't be a factor when selecting the right Nike Sneakers Reddit, there's no shame in admitting that it matters. If you're set on buying a pair of shoes in a particular color scheme, ask the store clerk if the model you love is available according to your preferences. Sometimes athletic stores don't carry every colorway there is, but they can order the one you want and have it delivered to the location for free.
Nike Sneakers Reddit is 5 stars and 273 Customer reviews on this site

Michael Roberts, a Louisiana fisherman whose livelihood has been destroyed by the Gulf oil spill writes about his experience. Here's an excerpt:
"I tried not to let my grandson, Scottie, see me crying. I didn't think he would understand, that I was crying for his stolen future. None of this will be the same, for decades to come. The damage is going to be immense and I do not think our lives here in south Louisiana will ever be the same."
Here's the link to his story.
With all the talk of BP, clean up technology, and how the Obama administration has or has not effectively mitigated the situation, the human impact has often been overlooked.
The human impact: another argument for keeping the BC coast oil free. Visit the Living Oceans Society website for more information about the moratorium on offshore oil and gas in B.C.

At any given point in the game you may be allied with everyone at the table, joined at the hip to stop the malicious onslaught of the evil "Mutant" horde or "Clone" flotilla. Before you know it you're ready to jump across the table and stab one of your former "allies" in the neck with a pencil for blatantly drop kicking you in the sack, "with authora-tah". Alliances of convenience, unabashed betrayal, and sneakery of the highest order...such is the game of Cosmic Encounter.
This game has been around in various iterations since the Seventies, which should speak to its staying power. It has been printed by no less than ten publishers, the best and most recent being the venerable Fantasy Flight Games. This latest version is loaded with high-quality cardboard bits, 100 stack-able plastic UFOs, and a slew of cards and "race sheets". The game takes about an hour and a half to play, and seats three to five players at a time, which is a good thing because odd numbered crowds generally make people think twice before starting a brawl. In my experience, four to five players are optimum as three player games end up having two team up and bash the third to death. There can be shared wins in this game, meaning that if two players simultaneously meet the victory condition, they both win.
The concept of this game is really quite simple: you are a space-faring race in possession of five colonies in your home system. The object is to use diplomacy, negotiation, or sheer unrelenting force to expand into five foreign colonies. It sounds simple, but this actually as hard as cutting a bad tooth out of a rottweiler with a broken beer bottle. Which happens to be all fun and games until someone gets bit.
Once all the players' races have been selected, the gameplay consists of several sequential phases that indicate the who, how, and what you get to do during a turn. First, a player will draw a colored card from the "Destiny Deck", which indicates the color of the foreign race they'll be assaulting next. That's right, you don't get to decide who you attack, it's decided for you; which can make alliances very tricky. Next, you will indicate which foreign colony of the chosen color you'll be invading, and how many ships you'll commit to the fray by placing them on the stargate board.
Now that you've established the who and how many, the true fun of the game begins! At this point, the two players about to engage in battle can ask any number of players at the table to ally with them. Common tactics for asking include pleading, offering cards or use of special powers to help the allies. It can also include things like offering to get up and mix a Tom Collins for all allied players. Trust me, I've offered that, and worse.
Once the allies are selected, the attacker and defender both choose a card from their hand to play, and reveal them simultaneously. Generally, the higher card wins. There are some specific cards and powers that can change the outcome, such as reinforcement cards that any player may play to help one side or another. Once all cards and powers have been resolved, the winner takes their spoils, and the losers take their devastated forces to the proverbial "sin bin" of Cosmic Encounter, "The Warp".
The spoils for the attacker's side is that you take the planet as a colony; your allies may join you on the devastated planet bringing them closer to the five victory points needed to win. If the defender and their allies win, the defender gets to keep their planet and the allies get to draw some cards from the draw deck. With little exception, the only way to get new cards is to ally with a defending player - which is crucial. The opposing problem with that is that the only way to get victory points, meaning foreign colonies, is to either defeat a planet alone, or to ally with an attacker.
This is truly one of my all-time favorite games, and if you enjoy games that involve planning, tough decisions, trickery, and potentially having your wife tell you, "That's SO messed up, Pete, you're SO not getting any tonight", this is certainly the game for you. If your wife is calling you Pete, and your name is NOT Pete, then it seems that you should not be playing games at all, and perhaps should seek council from a licensed therapist. That, and I am NOT the Pete she called you, I swear.
Things I liked:
*Great gameplay mechanics, quite a fluid experience
*No downtime as everyone is doing something
*High production values and extraordinary art, even for Fantasy Flight Games
*Incredible replayability, and an expansion set, "Cosmic Incursion" to boot
Things I detested:
*$59.99 MSRP is just too bloody high. There's lots of bits, but this is not Descent: Journeys in the Dark
*The Fantasy Flight Games version is not truly compatible with other publishers' versions
This is an outstanding game for three to five players, and every person who likes player vs. player games should absolutely, unequivocally own this game.
5/5 Stars

So as many of you know by now, we have re-launched the community channel. There's been a lot of confusion and worry, so in an effort to make the simplest, least-confusing move without losing this new direction I'm here to let you know the AHCommunityVids will be turning into the Lets Play Community channel!
I want to apologize for this last minute redirection, especially after talking about this with several of you. In a late-night meeting we determined it was best for the community to maintain the present location for our new community channel effort. I know you all will have a new set of questions, but let me try to address a lot of them here and now.
(Before I bury the link, please refer to the new Let's Play Community group for info on how to submit moving forward!)
What content is allowed?
Anything related to Achievement Hunter, Funhaus, ScrewAttack, or Kinda Funny. This includes anything from compilations to animations to speed art. You guys are super creative, so I'm sure you'll think of even more things.
What content isn't allowed?
Let's Plays, community versions of main channel shows, and anything unrelated to the Let's Play group. It goes without saying, but no copyrighted or stolen material. See next question for details on "This is" and Achievement Guides.
What's happening to all of the old series?
Most of the current series will still exist, but since the channel is opening to accept a wider audience, with a goal of uploading more diverse content, we will be dropping older forms of AH shows, such as "This is" and Achievement Guides. These series in particular have become simple ways for people to rack up video count, and this dilutes the channel and buries creative content. Moving forward I'd like to see an emphasis on quality over quantity, as I'd really like this to become a showcase for the amazing talents across our community.
Can I submit stuff with music/copyrighted material?
Royalty free music is allowed as long as you credit it properly and source it in your submission so I can check it. Only use it when necessary, like if you're doing a "how to cosplay" for example. Copyright is a law, not a rule of thumb. If it contains stuff that you don't own, it will not get accepted.
Is self-promotion acceptable?
Let's not treat this channel as a way to get subscribers for your personal Let's Play channel. This is a place to highlight community talent across the many avenues of content that exist. If you're an artist, editor, or animator for example and you'd like credit please leave your name/handle in the description and maybe a link to your portfolio. Ideally, the content will speak for itself. I don't want this to become a way for everyone to try and promote themselves as their only goal.
For any further questions, please leave them in the comments here or in the forums over at the new group page and I'll address them as I can. Once again, I apologize for any confusion. I know you're all worried about what this might mean for you and your content and I completely sympathize. Your content and your creative efforts are, as always, my first priority.

The 1957 Chevy Bel Air has become a popular model amongst the lowrider community in recent years. The sexy lines and mixture of chrome and paint make a beautiful showpiece no matter what genre you decide to build these classic cars into. For the lowrider, though, the added challenge of a hydro setup and batteries can play havoc on a show-worthy trunk.
Because while this "tri-five" seems to be large enough to play with the big boys, the reality is that the engine bay and trunk are actually significantly smaller than the cars of the next decade. A setup and a system had a hard time co-existing in the trunk, but a showpiece must be complete so we're here to help you overcome your claustrophobia.
A trunk should be a combination of function and beauty, much like the vehicle that hosts it. The tight space of this trunk is much like that of a newer import vehicle, but the goal of our build, much like any other, is to configure this trunk so that everything fits without consuming every inch of space.
Sometimes, bridges will be created for the hydraulics, but in this case, we're fortunate to have a custom-fabricated trailing arm setup and frame support system for the hydraulics. None the less, accommodations will need to be made for the cylinders and lines.
To follow our functionality detail, we've decided on hugging close to the walls and floor in order to allow more space for the setup and batteries, and integrate every aspect of the interior with touches from the exterior as well. Some big expectations for such a tiny space, so follow along as we cure your claustrophobia and transform the little empty trunk into the showpiece our future trophy winner deserves.

Mission 365 Facilitation
Mission 365 is Sigma Chi's innovative recruitment program designed to enhance the quality and quantity of the Fraternity's membership. Our facilitators seek to inspire values-based relationships and train brothers to recruit new members based upon The Jordan Standard. The retreat is not a lecture, but rather an experiential learning process aimed at engaging a chapter's membership.
Facilitator Time Commitment
Two years; one weekend-long training retreat; one weekend-long retreat per semester, for four semesters
- Facilitation experience, not necessarily within Sigma Chi
- Familiarity with Sigma Chi Ritual, values and ethics
- To attend a one-on-one, participation-based 'learning on the job' training at a Mission 365 chapter retreat
- To facilitate at least one retreat per semester, or two retreats per academic year, for a period of three years
- To continue your role as a mentor for each chapter following their retreat for at least one year
- To ensure all facilitator materials are up-to-date prior to facilitating a chapter retreat
To turn-in all chapter retreat metrics, reports, and reimbursement forms in a timely manner
- Note: Must turn in above documents to International Fraternity Headquarters prior to receiving reimbursements
- To act as a positive role model by living Sigma Chi's values and ideals in your everyday life
- To respect the proprietary nature of the Mission 365 program and its curriculum by not sharing, distributing, or copying any of the exercises or material used before, during, and after a retreat
Indications of success
- Increased participation in chapter, university, and community leadership roles of participants
- Indications by participants in follow-up surveys of a greater grasp of Sigma Chi values and instituting them in their everyday lives
- The identification of a mentor by the participants
