Holiday gift guide: Xbox Kinect, Playstation Move, Wii and more
(Note: While I designated which systems the games were reviewed on, please know that most are available on multiple systems depending on your needs).
Going back years.
Decades, even.
I have always been a Playstation man.
It was my first system, and there is something to be said about loyalty.
However, each system has great games that are specific to them, so a few years back I tried to venture into the world of Xbox. I bought a unit and had it last a day before it broke down and I sent it back.
It's replacement?
Didn't even power up. So I gave up out of frustration, and If memory serves, I spent the money on a new golf driver instead.
So when, by chance, I got an invite a few months back to an Xbox Kinect premier event, I went in with a chip on my shoulder.
What do I say now after my latest introduction to the Xbox Kinect experience?
What chip?
This new system is a no-brainer. It's durable, affordable, and like I noted in a previous blog, rises above the competition.
I'm not going to list everything it does (that's why I provided a video). Instead, I will share my first experience with the new Xbox Kinect.
My eight-year old son was staying with his uncle and aunt for a birthday celebration.
Knowing I had just joined the world of Xbox, I received a call in the early evening from the uncle inviting us to join them for some family gaming.
We were able to get online and have a video chat session while he walked me through the setup process.
After gaining some familiarity, we were able to get down with an assortment of games over the next few hours via the internet.
Over four hours, we partook in bowling, track and field and finished with beach volleyball.
Imagine it.
From two different locations, we were able to enjoy a load of quality family time without having to leave the house, fight crowds, or spend a dime on anything other than the equipment we already owned.
We could even communicate with one another through the chat stream that was continuously running while we shared in an avalanche of fun and laughs.
Not to mention I probably burned more calories jumping around my living room for hours, than my typical trip to the gym. No joke.
All this and I'm just scratching the surface as to what it can do.
At $299 for the beginner package (the 250 GB package can be had for around $399), I find it difficult to see how anyone can not consider this system.
Also, four families can team up and save a nice chunk of money by buying the family Gold Family Pack for the Xbox live service. That is four for the price of two.
The Kinect bundle came with six games. Kinectimals, Joy Ride, Kinect sports (soccer, volleyball, track & field, bowling, table tennis or boxing), Kinect Aventures, Dance Central, and my favorite, the Kinect Your Shape personal trainer.
A fairly impressive and affordable starter kit, for sure.
But if you're looking for some other solid starter games, consider Sonic Free Riders (E for everyone) from Sega and Motion Sports (T for teen) by Ubisoft.
Sonic Free Riders is a Kinect racing game that allows up to eight players with online multi-player. It's not very complex, but what racing games are? My son plays this online with his cousin who lives cross town.
Motion Sports might be my favorite group Kinect game.
The controls, to me at least, seem to be the most responsive in this game. Also, it seems my son and I gravitate towards it more than the others, as it puts us on a somewhat level playing field as far as abilities go.
The user has a choice of football, skiing (where's the snowboarding?!?!?!), boxing, soccer, horseback riding and hang gliding. But we, surprisingly to me, play them all.
Final take: Must buy.
Ok all you Playstation owners out there. If you haven't already, I know buying the Move has been on your mind.
The question is: Should you get it?
The answer is: Yes… But with a hitch… Prepare to be a bit underwhelmed.
Let me clarify.
When Playstation 3 came out back when, I was impressed by the system, but not so much by the games available.
But over time, the cache of impressive titles filled, and now I couldn't imagine life without my PS3.
I feel the same way about the Move.
With the Move, the foundation has been laid for some great things ahead. But like with the PS3 launch, some patience will be needed.
Anyone who has played a Wii will have an idea of what's going on with the Move. It's the same concept, but I feel like I get an upgrade version of the joystick technology. The moves are more precise, and the response time is noticeably better.
There are some titles that I thought rose above the rest. Sports Champions offered a nice variety (disc golf, beach volleyball, archery, table tennis, gladiator duel and bocce) for one game. Gladiator Duel and Table Tennis did an especially good job of showing what the Move can do. On Gladiator, I was swinging the controller like a real sword against my opponent…. and it was fun! Table Tennis isn't my forte, but it was a good game for depicting the preciseness of the Move.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="150″][/media-credit]
Start the Party is a good option for family time, or social gatherings, with a nice variety of games options.
Also, the Sony Party Pack seems like it would be the perfect choice for the pre-teen and teenage gamers.
Let's face it. Karaoke works, and when you pair it with dancing and group choreography, laughs and silliness are sure to follow. Combine that with the ability to record and share your personal music videos, and, well, I think you can picture the rest. I'm also guessing some of the shyer members of the family can be talked into participating from the safety of their own living room, which would add to the fun.
TV superstars, The Shoot and KungFu Rider were unimpressive. I could see them being entertaining for youngsters, but I would advise trying to find them used to avoid feeling buyers remorse if they aren't your style.
While all games on the Move are active by definition, for those looking to fill their fitness needs, Get Fit With Mel B is an option. This is a personal trainer game that is geared for Her, but hey, when you're in your own living room, it's not like anyone is watching, right?
I'm not crazy about having to hold a controller while working out, but got used to it. As with the other titles, what makes this work is the variety of options available. And I just find something exciting about being able to customize a workout routine without paying a personal trainer megabucks to do so.
For something a little less feminine, The Fight: Lights Out, a fighting simulator, got my heart rate going pretty good. The graphics have a lot of detail, and while there was a learning curve, I soon became proficient enough to get my face beat in.
Good times.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="111″][/media-credit]
My recommendations for the younger crowd would be Sony's Eyepet and Electronic Art's Create (available on PS3, XBox, Wii and PC).
Eyepet is basically owning your own virtual pet, while being able to play with it and the world around it. While it wasn't my cup of tea, my eight-year old found it enjoyable.
Create is what it sounds like. I didn't have the time to dig to the depths of this game, but in Create the gamer advances by unlocking progress by being creative. The more you do, the further you advance. Kind of a refreshing take for a video game, actually. Also, I'm always a fan of a game that can't be "finished". There is always another path to take with this one.
Something to keep in mind is not all games are JUST for the Move. When shopping for games, this is easy to detect by the a blue lable on the top right corner that will say either PlayStation Move "Compatible" or "Required."
For example, Tiger Woods 11 came out in June, but it was already geared to pair with the Move. To date, this is my favorite game for the Move. There is just something about mimicking the swing of a golf club that warms my heart. Especially when there is snow on the ground and my clubs are put away for the winter.
That being said, while compatible, games like NBA 2K11 are better left to the joysticks. Just not precise enough to do all the necessary moves.
Finally, if you're debating on whether to get the Move, don't.
The Move allows Sony to do something I'm excited to see, which is getting people more active. It wouldn't be forthcoming to say it isn't a little rough around the edges, but I expect great things to come, and so should you.
Final take: Must buy
Looking for something more portable, but have no idea what direction to go?
My vote is for the Sony PSP 3000.
I recently had a chance to play God of War, Ghost of Spart (rated mature) and Tag Force 5 (rated E for everyone) on a unit and was blown away at its capabilities. The game play, while obviously on a smaller scale, was just as clear and responsive as with my regular Playstation played on a high definition television.
Add to that the ability to watch movies, surf the net, and do most anything the full-size unit does, and you start to get the idea of what a great gift it could be for someone who can appreciate gaming on the go.
Already have the PSP, but are looking for games? Don't pass on the previously mentioned God of War. It was the first game I played on this and deserves credit for the magic I saw in the unit.
Final take: Must buy.
Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3)
There is nothing I can really say about this game other than: Just buy it.
That's it.
One of the most anticipated releases of the year, Call of Duty: Black Ops doesn't need any hype. I was only able to give a couple hours to this game initially, but all it made me want to do is order pizza, close the blinds and call in sick for two days.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="147″][/media-credit]
Feedback indicates the single-player mode is rather short depending on your skill level. Around six hours, so keep that in mind if playing online with multi-player is not your speed.
But that begs the question: Why would anyone buy it if not for the online play? That's where the REAL fun is.
In short, get this game for any gamer and you will zoom to the top of their favorite's list.
Final take: Absolute must buy.
Mafia II (PS3)
If you're going to do a sequel, make sure you do it right. And that's what the developers at 2K sports did with Mafia 2.
It's impossible to not be reminded of the Grand Theft Auto series when playing this, but I found the attention to detail really set it apart.
There has never been a lack of interest in the whole wise guy underworld of organized crime, and this game takes you on a journey that is not for the faint of heart. It is graphic in nature (rated M for mature) and that has to be considered part of the appeal.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="120″][/media-credit]
The gamer is cast in a role of a young Italian, who aspires to make something of himself in hurry, via a series of tasks all of which are fundamental in pushing his advancement of the ladder of organized crimes.
I'm not normally a fan of cut scenes, but these were well done, and added to the overall experience.
A journey worth taking. Mafia 2 would be a great gift for the mature gamers in your life. Extreme violence and acts make it inappropriate for youngsters, or those who are easily offended.
Final take: Solid buy
Castlevania, Lords of Shadow (PS3)
This game took me back to my youth. Back to those endless hours I would spend nose deep in choose your own adventure fantasy games. I have always had a soft spot for any medium that stretches the bounds of imagination by employing mythical creatures and themes, and Castlevania certainly fills the bill.
This is an action-adventure game in which players control a warrior named Gabriel as he battles the forces of darkness. Gabriel uses a bladed whip as well as large hammers, swords, spears, and axes to kill human and fantasy creatures (e.g., werewolves, vampires, goblins, demons). Combat includes depictions of repeated punching, slashing, and occasional stabbing or breaking of bones.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="133″][/media-credit]
It's not the most complex of games, but that's what I liked about it. Tutorials at the beginning get the gamer going at a good pace, and development from there is steady. The character advances by learning new moves and acquiring new, more powerful objects, and the difficulty level rises in conjunction with this. There are cut scenes, but they can be skipped, which was nice.
The fighting mechanics are solid. I liked the variety of combo's that seem to have become commonplace in fighting games like these.
Final take: Solid buy.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Xbox)
Just like with motion pictures, there are certain big-production video games that can't be ignored. The Assassin's Creed series falls into that genre. It shouldn't be a matter of if you will experience it…. It should be just a matter of when.
Already being a fan of the previous games in the Assassin's Creed series, I can say with confidence the newest version does nothing to disappoint.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="106″][/media-credit]
In sequels, one expects improvements. There are more fresh challenges than in Creed 2, but the skill involved in overcoming them seemed about the same. I tended to ignore some of the side quests as I plowed through the main path of the game. Someone with more patience/time would likely appreciate them more.
Basically, this game is more of the same, but that's ok when that same is so good!
While I haven't had a chance to get to the online multi-player mode, most of the feedback I've heard raves specifically about that.
Also, please note by the title that this game is obviously rated M for mature. The entire premise is based on killing and this needs to be taken into account when considering for anyone not of a more mature nature.
For newbies, please take a look at the video provided to see an attention to detail not often witnessed. As a history buff, I love that no corners are cut when recreating the historical significance of the time period in which this series is set.
Final take: Must buy.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, PC)
Well, you knew the video game would be coming out with the movie. Now, the question is: Does it step up like the movie did?
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="108″][/media-credit]
I haven't seen the movie yet (haha), but the video game is easily the best in the series. I reviewed this on the Xbox, and while using the kinect is an option, I found regular game play to be more ideal. It's worth noting that regular game play and kinect play are two different options, entirely.
Speaking frankly, I see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows being more for the younger crowd (Young for me is under 18, haha) or die-hard Potter fans. Obviously keep in mind its rating (T for teen) when considering for specific age groups. I can't really see the appeal for an advanced or more mature gamer.
It's a tad simplistic – which isn't a bad thing – but it is what you would expect from a movie-related video game: Action that follows the plot of the movie.
More attributes are added to the character as the game progresses. No shock, there, but it is done nicely and encourages a smooth transition for the gamer.
Still, the developers at Electronic Arts are some of the best in the business and they have come with a solid effort that most will be happy with.
Final take: Solid buy
Dance Central vs. Dance Masters (Xbox Kinect)
Which to get? Both.
Which is better in my opinion? Dance Central.
Both are fun, but Dance Central won out for me. With songs ranging from Bestie Boys to Kool & The Gang, and then back to Lady Gaga, there is something for everyone.
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="106″][/media-credit]
[media-credit name="" align="alignright" width="107″][/media-credit]
Also, I beat my little boy in a dance off on Dance Central, so it was pretty much over for me right there.
The best part of Dance Master is the ability to record yourself and insert you into your own music videos. The music is more techy than the familiar titles that Dance Central offers. However, that's just my preference. A younger crowd might find that techy music more appealing.
Both, are again, great for getting up and active. You WILL work up a sweat.
Also, they are a nice way for a beginner dancer to gain experience and confidence in the comforts of their own home.
Dance Masters final take: Solid buy
Dance Central final take: Must buy.
Ok all you Wii'sters out there. I didn't forget about you.
When Wii first came out, I scoffed at its simplicity. The graphics and quality aren't comparable to the Playstation or Xbox, but you know what? That's ok. Wii does its thing, and it does it well. Especially with the broad range of titles it now offers.
Obviously Wii has an emphasis on being active. With kids getting into gaming at younger ages, I was impressed to see Nickelodeon's Fit by 2K Play.
It's basically what it sounds like. Getting preschool children up and active, and making it fun at the same time. The game features characters from the TV shows: Dora the Explorer, Go Diego, Ni Hao, Kai-lan and the Backyardigans.
Also, and importantly, parents are able to monitor their children's routine and progress.
I would hope any Wii owner with young children, would have this game in their arsenal.
Ok, moving along.
Like I mentioned earlier, it's hard to beat groups of people and Karaoke.
[media-credit id=235 align="alignright" width="105″][/media-credit]
Wii has come up with their own Glee version (complete with microphone), based on the hit television show. I won't try and kid. Glee is not my cup of tea. But it sure is for a lot of others, which makes this a must buy for them.
And I'll admit, while a bit humbling trying to hit some of those notes, it was fun, nonetheless.
The game also features the show's main characters and exclusive footage from the show. Check it out for yourself in the video below.
Looking for something new and maybe a little more grand than just a video game?
Well, if you own a Wii, then you have probably heard of their new UDraw Tablet.
Its exactly what it sounds like, and then some, and the motion-control table comes bundled with the UDraw Studio game.
Wiith UDraw Studio, imagine being able to turn your TV into a giant, interactive drawing pad, but without the mess. And with SD-card access, projects can be saved and/or printed to be kept just like any other creation.
Now, granted, it's not quite the same genuine feel of the artwork your child brings home from school, but I like the idea of being able to work and modify pieces over periods of time until they are "just right". Not to mention all the different mediums that are available as skill levels progress.
The two games debuting with the UDraw tablet (with more titles coming in 2011) are Dood's big adventure and Pictionary.
Dood's Big Adventure is your basic challenge game to pair with the UDraw for the younger crowd. It's nothing that will blow you away, but then again, its not supposed to. Dood is obviously for kids, and I think its best use is getting them familiar with all the UDraw tablet can do.
Now, it's pretty hard to go wrong with Pictionary, and the video game version is no exception. 3,000 clues and a 3D game board are the key features. And while I always considered Pictionary more of an adult game, the developers employed junior clues, so a family experience for all ages is a reality.
Ok, so maybe the UDraw tablet isn't exactly what you're looking for.
Wii has two more exclusive titles out for the holiday season and both carry weight.
The first is Michael Jackson: The Experience. This is really just your basic dance game.
So what's the big deal?
It's Michael Jackson, duh.
The game is you doing his moves to his music. A slam dunk for any Jackson fan.
Picture a party environment with a big-screen TV, this game on pumping over the surround sound, and you start to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Or just check out this video and see for yourself.
I know some bars have Wii for their customers, and its easy to imagine what this game could do in that environment.
Finally, we come to Disney's Epic Mickey.
As you've probably noticed, I'm not easily impressed with games geared towards kids. But I think Epic Mickey is an exception.
Disney goes big with pretty much anything they do, so it's no surprise the award-winning game tops my list of must-buys for the Wii.
I'm not the expert on Wii I'd like to be, but the attention to detail in Epic Mickey was unlike many games I have seen on their system.
I was only able to spend an hour on this game, but I liked how the depth of storyline sucked me in and made me feel in the middle of a classic Disney adventure.
IGN calls Epic Mickey the best Wii game ever.
Does that tell you all you need to know?
I came across something for those PC users out there: A washable keyboard by Unotron. As much time as I spend on a computer, I was kind of shocked I never thought to look for one of these.
I'm familiar with the embarrassment associated with what comes out of my keyboard when turned upside down. And I have to think this provides a unique, yet practical gift for someone who spends too much time on the computer.
Let's face it, if you eat at your desk while working, or just playing, there are some grubbies collecting beneath those keys.
Final take: Solid buy
As you can imagine, the holidays are the target for every video game manufacturer. I did not get into every title available for a few reasons. Mostly because of lack of time, but also so there would be some titles to review over the big drop off in releases that follow the holidays.
That being said, I am always available and eager to help answer any questions that are out there. Simply email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I will do my best to give any direction that's needed.
Have a happy holiday.

I was invited by Chili's Grill & Bar recently to attend a culinary roadshow showcasing Chili's American Southwest flavours and recipes. Well, I was there late as I had a meeting to attend, hence had missed out the opportunity to catch Michael Winkelman cooking up the latest flavour introduced - Honey Chipotle Sauce which was used in Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers.
Anyhow, I was on time though to taste out the Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers hah! I also got to taste the ever popular Mojito, minus the rum of course (pssst cos it was still before noon :p). Perfect to quench my thirst running in the hot morning from one end to the other end of MidValley Megamall.
As I dug in, I tasted the sweetness of the honey followed by a bit of fire that came from the chipotle (smoked chilli pepper). I usually order the Chicken Crispers and with this sauce for this dish, it gave the crispy chicken a total make over.
Since I was there towards the tail end of the event, after most of the members of the media left, I got the full attention from Dave Anderson, COO of TAS Leisure, the franchise holder of Chili's Grill & Bar in Malaysia. I've mentioned that it's funny that we frequent Chili's but yet I do not have a single blog post :p Dave did asked why and my reply was "Who doesn't know Chili's and the delicious food they serve?" plus I added there are always queue at the entrance! In a jest Dave laughed questioning is it a good or a bad thing lol.
Dave asked me one important question - does the food served looked the same as shown in the menu! In my honest reply, I said they're quite close, totally unlike some fast food chain *chuckle*. Seems like it annoyed him to the bit if the food served at Chili's does not look the same as the visuals. Way to go Chilli's!
Michael was on his way out to check another outlet before flying out the next day to his next destination of this roadshow. Michael resides in UK but he travels frequently to this part as he oversees the business development for Europe, Middle East, North Africa and Asia.
It has been great meeting the people behind Chili's and what say you... to feature a proper blog post on our favourite stuffs on Chili's menu?
Thanks to Chili's Grill & Bar via Creative Geckos for the invite.

Wheaton Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - The Wheaton College baseball team, ranked seventh nationally and first in New England according to Tuesday's American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) polls, clinched its eighth consecutive New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) regular season championship in the league's eight-year history after deating second-place MIT, 6-3 at Sidell Stadium.
With today's win, the Lyons earn a bye in next week's seven-team conference tournament and will host the following weekend's semifinal and final rounds for the sixth straight year. Improving its season record to 22-6 and NEWMAC mark to 10-1, Wheaton will host the winner of the four versus five seed on Saturday, April 29 at 11:00 a.m. Wheaton also extended its program-high winning streak to 15 straight games. The Engineers remain in second place in the conference at 6-3 with a 14-7 record overall.
Senior hurler Chris Martin and the Lyon defense set the tone early, facing the minimum number of batters through four innings as Wheaton turned a pair of double plays. Offensively, the Blue and White left eight base runners stranded through four but still managed to plate two runs. Senior Mark Baumer delivered a sacrifice fly in the third and classmate Andy Koocher dropped in a two-out, run-scoring single into left center in the fourth.
Wheaton extended its lead to 3-0 in the fifth when sophomore Jake Yagjian doubled to left center and scored Baumer. The Engineers got a run back in the top of the sixth, using a walk, passed ball, wild pitch and throwing error to score senior Greg Williams. Martin retired the side in order in both the seventh and eighth innings, and the Lyons took a comfortable 6-1 advantage with three runs on five hits in the home half of the eighth. Baumer, junior Adam Laplante and sophomore Scott Guillerault each drove in a run for the Blue and White.
MIT made things interesting in the ninth, as the Engineers picked up RBI singles from sophomore Kevin Wheeler and freshman Thomas Phillips. With two down, runners at the corners and the tying run at the plate, Wheaton senior closer Jamie Baker fanned his third batter of the frame to end the MIT threat.
Martin improved to 3-1 after not allowing an earned run for the third successive outing, yielding just three hits while striking out three and walking one in eight innings of work. Wheaton handed MIT rookie Matt Loper his first loss of the season, as the freshman righthander fell to 5-1 after allowing three runs, two earned, on five hits with five strikeouts and five walks in five innings.
Yagjian led a trio of multiple-hit performances after going 3-for-4 with an RBI. Koocher was 2-for-4 with an RBI and run, while junior Travis Anthoine (Portland, ME/Portland) went 2-for-4 with a run. Baumer drove in two runs and scored a pair to go along with his second triple of the season. Phillips was MIT's lone multiple hitter, going 2-for-4 with the one RBI.

Harness buckled. Chalk bag clipped. 8-knot tied. Climbing shoes squeezed on. One look up. "All right, rock, it's you and me."
I have recently started to dabble in the art of rock climbing. Perhaps it was unavoidable, living in La Paz at 12,000 ft, surrounded by amazing mountains and natural formations. And it is indeed an art. I have always been a lover of the environment and outdoors, but this sport literally puts you in the heart of nature and in her hands.
In learning the technique of how to elegantly move my hands and feet in a graceful rhythm with the figures of this nature-made structure, there is a sensation of being "one with the rock." As you attempt your ascent, your mind can only think about your next movements and how to move yourself using the textures and crevices nature has left you.
It is an individual sport — a mental and physical challenge with one's self. But one can never forget the person who holds the other end of your rope — attentively watching your every move, should you make one wrong step.
Many people may claim that you need muscles and strength for rock climbing, but one quickly learns that the key movements are not about power or strength, but about balance and focus. I of course do not claim to be an expert rock climber, but I am learning with each route and ascent how to open my eyes and see the natural steps provided for me.
How relevant this sport is to the work and mission of Joining Hands — a work of opening eyes, taking small steps and finding balance. I became more aware of this during a recent delegation visit from my home church, East Liberty Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, Pa., and students from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
They came to learn more about Bolivia, its culture, our work as UMAVIDA within this culture, and the work of its individual partner organizations. Though the altitude is always a challenge for any visitor coming from sea level, this group of seven pushed through these body-demanding obstacles and took in as much of the culture as they could during their 10-day stay, with visits varying between 9,000 and 13,300 ft.
They saw the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Bolivia's outreach for children during after-school hours, providing scriptural, spiritual and ethical education and nurture. They experienced an apthapi (Andean potluck) with members of the Lutheran Church, learning of their struggles of membership loss and lack of ordained pastors, while communally eating a greater variety of potatoes than they thought possible, immersed in the setting of the Altiplano (High plain) and the snow-capped Royal Mountain Range.
They learned of the mining issues in Potosí and the work to reduce the number of children working in the mines through the education and capacity building programs of the Center for Regional Development. They even experienced a road blockade by protesting miners, setting us back five hours in our travels but allowing us to see the reality in which Bolivians live and act to have their voices heard.
One of these voices that they heard clearly was from the Center for Ecology and Andean People (CEPA), an UMAVIDA partner organization in Oruro. Through these voices they learned about the ongoing UMAVIDA campaign calling for environmental justice and corporate responsibility for the closing of the Kori Kollo mine and leaving an accumulation of contamination of the surrounding communities from its 25+ years of operation.
This campaign has been a continual struggle, beginning with the community call for an environmental audit by the government, the carrying out of the audit by consultants, the release of the audit (a year and a half later than scheduled), the community-commenting period of 15 days to read a 600+-page technical document, and the wait for the final audit report and response of the government.
Though it seems to be a hopeless and uphill struggle, we are not alone. We may look up at the rock and think it is impossible to ascend and reach our goal, but we cannot forget the people who hold our rope. They are those who are there, not to tell us what to do or where to go, but to be with us in our movements, as only we can be the guides of our path and story — one that is always interconnected with others.
The Joining Hands program, with its emphasis on partnership between each Joining Hands global network and U.S. presbyteries and congregations in order to move forward together on a shared issue, has allowed us to continue in this campaign, connecting us with Earth Justice of San Francisco, a nonprofit environmental law firm, as well as Dr. Serrano, a professor of Environment and Occupational Health at St. Louis University.
These partners and their expertise in mining and health have helped us persevere in our campaign and have given us more knowledge about possible future steps that we would not have seen without them.
Each step of the campaign we take together may seem long and difficult. But we must remember that the goal is not about obtaining or exerting the power and strength transnational companies hold over national companies or governments in order to contaminate communities and the environment and violate so many human and environmental rights.
These slow steps, taken with grace and thoughtfulness, are about staying focused on the goal and finding a balance. We are asking that these contaminating corporations see that God's Creation is not for individualistic progress, but for the progress of all.
We must climb together in this struggle — those who are wearing the harness and are in the thick of the movement and those who are holding the rope, moving in solidarity and giving support to that mutual movement, thereby moving toward transformation, both in one's self and in the greater world's policies and practices.
This mutual transformation is about being open to the newness around you. Any time newness is introduced in one's world, one's eyes are opened. I thank the Pittsburgh delegation for walking with us these 10 days, for listening, for allowing their eyes to be opened and for opening mine to the beautiful and endearing Bolivian culture and the UMAVIDA work that I saw anew through seven new sets of eyes.
As I prepare for my three-month interpretation assignment in the U.S.A. to visit and share the work of UMAVIDA with churches and presbyteries, I take on the task with gratitude. I may not be wearing my harness and climbing shoes or physically be in La Paz working with UMAVIDA, but with the guidance of God's call for justice and life abundant, I will search for those elegant words to share with you all about our movement toward solidarity of partnership, responsibility of power, and a balance of rights and justice.
And with this we will stand on the top of the rock and shout, "The earth is the Lord's and all that live in it" (Psalm 24)!
As a Joining Hands network companionship facilitator, Chenoa Stock helps build bridges of solidarity between coalitions of churches in the United States and a network of churches, grassroots groups and non-governmental organizations in Bolivia.

Predators continue road trip against Bluesby Mike Battaglino
PREDATORS (1-0-2) at BLUES (2-1-0)
Season series: The teams meet for the second time in four days; St. Louis won 4-3 in a shootout Monday. Nashville won four of the six games last season (2-1 in shootout decisions) but finished five points behind St. Louis for the Central Division title. In those six meetings, the losing team did not score more than two goals, with 21 goals total scored in regulation.
Big story: Nashville and St. Louis play each other four times, and will have completed three of those by Feb. 5. The Blues lost to the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Tuesday to trail them in the division. The Predators got their first win Tuesday, 3-1 over the Minnesota Wild and former teammate Ryan Suter, to keep pace in what looks like a three-team Central race.
Team scope:
Predators: Nashville had to go on the road to get its first win after losing its first two home games in shootouts to the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Blues. This is the second game in a seven-game, franchise-record-tying road trip that ends back in St. Louis on Feb. 5.
"The mood of the team is good; you get that first win under your belt is key," coach Barry Trotz told The Tennessean on Tuesday. "The first three games you get points in every game, that's a positive. Today's a day of rest and then tomorrow we'll go back at it again with the Blues."
Pekka Rinne should be back in net after Chris Mason backstopped the win over the Wild.
Blues: Vladimir Tarasenko did not score, and the Blues lost. That may be an exaggerated observation, but the Russian rookie had three goals and two assists in two wins prior to being held off the score sheet in a 3-2 loss at the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. Much of the Blues' production is coming from Tarasenko's line (Andy McDonald and Alex Steen), with five of the team's 11 goals.
Jaroslav Halak could be back in net after starting the opener then getting pulled from game two. Brian Elliott started and fell behind 3-0 against Chicago, after trailing Nashville 3-2 Monday.
"As I told the players, comeback hockey is losing hockey," coach Ken Hitchcock said to the team's website after Tuesday's loss. "And you can't mount comebacks all the time and expect to win hockey games. We got away with one yesterday and we got caught on it today. ... We can't play this way and expect to win hockey games."
Defenseman Wade Redden, who last played in the NHL in April 11, 2010, was activated Wednesday and could make his Blues debut after signing with them this week.
Who's hot: Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk has five assists, most among NHL defensemen after Tuesday's games. … The Blues' power play is clicking at 66.7 percent (6-for-9). … Forward Martin Erat (two goals) is the only Predators player with more than one. He has a point in all three games, and the team has a power-play goal in each. … Predators forward Nick Spaling had a goal and an assist against Minnesota. … Mason made 29 saves for a percentage of .967.
Injury report: Predators forward Paul Gaustad has missed the prior two games with an upper-body injury. Trotz told The Tennessean he could be back Saturday. … McDonald played Tuesday with a face guard after needing stitches for a facial cut suffered Monday.

Rangers deal slumping star Gaborik to Blue Jackets
NEW YORK (AP) — This season wasn't much fun in New York for slumping forward Marian Gaborik. He wasn't scoring goals the way he was used to, and he and his Rangers teammates found themselves in an unexpected fight just to get into the playoffs.
So in a swift move Wednesday, just before the NHL trade deadline, Gaborik was shipped to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the biggest deal of the day.
Gaborik was traded for center Derick Brassard, injured right wing Derek Dorsett, defenseman John Moore and a sixth-round pick in the 2014 draft. Two minor league players were sent to Columbus by the Rangers.
This marked the second swap of star players between the teams within the past year. The first sent Rick Nash to the Rangers last summer. Gaborik briefly spoke to Nash about Columbus before hopping a flight to meet up with his new club in Nashville.
"I didn't have fun this year," Gaborik said during a conference call. "I don't think the whole team has at all, too, so I'm looking forward to the challenge."
One season after having the best record in the East, the Rangers have struggled.
"I had a lot of fun in New York but the way this kind of played out, actually one team wanted me and indicated they are going in the right direction and wanted to trade for me," he said. "When I was in New York we didn't really perform the way we should, myself included.
"It wasn't the way anybody expected."
Gaborik waived a no-movement clause in order to allow the deal to be completed.
"They're a team that really wants me. I made my decision after that," Gaborik said.
It was the second big trade for the playoff-hopeful Rangers in two days. On Tuesday night, New York acquired forward Ryane Clowe from the San Jose Sharks for a package of three draft picks.
All the healthy players were in New York's lineup Wednesday night for a home game against the Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins.
"I believe the deal worked for both teams because I think he is going to play really well," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "We get a number of assets and some depth onto our team moving forward."
New York and Columbus have become big-time trading partners in recent times.
The Rangers received top-line forward Rick Nash from the Blue Jackets in a trade last July that sent Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Tim Erixon and a first-round pick in this year's draft to Columbus.
Nash, the No. 1 overall pick in the NHL draft by the Blue Jackets in 2002, has 13 goals and 30 points in his first 31 games with New York. Nash is expected to play on a line with Brassard as they did with Columbus.
Columbus also acquired defensemen Steven Delisle and Blake Parlett from the Rangers on Wednesday. Delisle had been traded to New York as part of the Nash deal.
The Rangers entered play Wednesday in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, two points behind area rivals New Jersey and the New York Islanders, who currently hold the final two playoff positions. The Rangers have 13 games remaining.
"I am hoping it's going to help us with some new juice," Tortorella said. "We need to find a way to win, and we're hoping they're going to help us. The deal helps us in depth, period — forwards and defense."
Columbus also has its sights on the playoffs in the Western Conference, sitting in 11th place but only one point below the postseason cutoff. The Blue Jackets have qualified for the playoffs only once in their first 11 NHL seasons — losing in the first round in 2009.
They were so anxious to bring Gaborik to the team, the Blue Jackets sent a private plane to pick him up Wednesday and fly him to Nashville, where the Blue Jackets are scheduled to play the Predators on Thursday night. Columbus center Mark Letestu has already agreed to give Gaborik his familiar No. 10, and will take No. 55 instead.
"Throughout this process our focus was to add a player who could provide a boost to our offense, improve our goal scoring and power play, and we identified Marian Gaborik as the player we wanted," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said in a statement. "He has been an elite goal scorer in this league for many years and we are very excited to have him."
Gaborik has been disappointing this season, his fourth with the Rangers, as he has only nine goals and 19 points in 35 games while shuttling between various lines. He didn't score in his final five games with New York and notched only two goals and five assists in the past 22.
"I am going to miss him," Tortorella said. "He is a good player, and his game is beginning to come, but it gives us some flexibility moving forward. We're filling out the middle of our lineup with the deal. We get some good players there with some grind, with some skill.
"A lot of players that have struggled this year, you've got to be really careful how to judge them because I think it's been one screwed-up year. That's why I think he is going to come alive."
Gaborik had two 40-goal campaigns in three-plus seasons after signing with the Rangers as a free agent in July 2009. He netted 42 goals in 2009-10 and 41 last season when he played in all 82 games. He was limited to 22 goals and 62 games in the 2010-11 season because of injury.
Gaborik had six goals and seven assists in 25 playoff games with New York over two years, including last season when the Rangers reached the Eastern Conference finals. Gaborik was hampered by a shoulder injury during the playoffs that required surgery during the offseason.
Including eight seasons with the Minnesota Wild, the 31-year-old Gaborik has 333 goals and 333 assists in 757 NHL games.
The deal will give the Rangers much-needed salary relief. Gaborik carries a $7.5 million cap hit this season and next, the final year of his contract. The added flexibility could help New York re-sign the newly acquired Clowe, who can become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Brassard has seven goals and 18 points in 34 games this season, and Dorsett posted three goals and six assists in 24 games before he broke his collarbone on March 7 in a game against Vancouver.
Dorsett, who is on the injured list, could miss the rest of the season. In 280 NHL games, all with Columbus, Dorsett has 27 goals and 38 assists. He led the league with 235 penalty minutes last season, but also set career highs with 12 goals, 20 points, 137 shots, while playing in 77 games.
The 22-year-old Delisle was the Blue Jackets' third pick, 107th overall, in the 2008 draft. He played in four games this season with Connecticut of the AHL and 61 with Greenville of the ECHL.
Parlett, 23, was signed as a free agent by the Rangers in June 2011. He had six goals and 22 assists in 67 games with Connecticut this season and 12 goals and 42 assists in 146 career AHL games.
To make room on the roster, the Rangers assigned forwards Chris Kreider and Jesper Fast to Connecticut. Fast had been on loan by the Rangers to HV71 of the Swedish Elite League. The 21-year-old Kreider has two goals and one assist in 17 games with New York this season. In 34 games with Connecticut, Kreider had five goals and seven assists.

Lower 7th (or 8th), rib popped by waist harness on Saturday
Hmmm....thanks for that. Guess it could be worse.mr_daruman wrote:I was out for 5 weeks (started kiting again after 3 weeks...just cruising, that probably also derailed the healing time ), this was a costal cartilage fracture, the lighter bone part, which is less painful than a regular rib fracture.

HOLIDAY Kayaking Lessons
Safety items are among the best holiday gifts one can give the active outdoor person. One of the best safety gifts for the new kayaker is a good course in paddling technique and rescues. The sport of coastal kayaking in Long Island Sound has been growing in popularity for many years. Sea kayaks are ideal for exploring our local waters, but like any other water craft, they must be used properly and safely. The Small Boat Shop of Norwalk will be running kayaking classes this winter at the indoor pool at SUNY Purchase, NY in Westchester County. The course includes instruction on a variety of steering and control strokes, wet exits, capsize recoveries, and an efficient forward stroke. While anybody can get into a kayak and paddle it across the harbor, doing so safely and properly in a variety of weather conditions does take some hands-on learning. The course is twelve hours long, spread over three Sundays. Instructors are certified by either the American Canoe Association or the British Canoe Union and are chosen for their kayaking and teaching experience. Each day includes some classroom time for basic concepts, but most of the session is spent at learning in the pool. Along with information on hypothermia and sudden immersion syndrome. A maximum of six students with two instructors ensures plenty of attention. Boats and equipment are provided, as are lockers and showers. Interested persons can register by phone at 203-854-5223, or in person at the Small Boat Shop at 144 Water Street, Norwalk. Full details and a complete schedule are available at WWW.THESMALLBOATSHOP.COM

Notable Speakers
A compelling presence on both stage and screen, Academy Award-nominated actress Viola Davis brings a memorable authenticity and depth of feeling to the complex women she portrays. She won both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for her breakout role in King Hedley II. Davis later received another Tony for her leading role in Fences. She garnered several Oscar nominations for best supporting actress for her riveting turn in the film version of Doubt, and again for best actress for her indelible performance in The Help. Women in Film recently recognized Davis's accomplishments with a Crystal Award for excellence in film, and TIME magazine named her to its 2012 list of the "100 Most Influential People in the World."
Widely considered the most powerful woman on Wall Street during her tenure, Sallie Krawcheck is past president of Global Wealth & Investment Management for Bank of America. In this role, she headed up the world's largest wealth management business, overseeing $2.3 trillion in client balances held at Merrill Lynch and U.S. Trust. Among many other accolades, she was named CNBC's "Business Leader of the Future," one of TIME magazine's "Global Business Influentials," Fortune's "Most Influential Person Under the Age of 40," and Institutional Investor's top CFO in financial services.
An influential thought leader and critically acclaimed author, Charlene Li is among the world's foremost authorities on social media and emerging technologies. She is the founder of Altimeter Group, a research-based advisory firm that helps companies and industries leverage disruption to their advantage.

Bush, she honed her communications skills during some of the most historic events of our time. Her experience in crisis management – whether counseling Fortune 500 corporations, heads of state, U.S. government agencies, or prominent sports figures – is the inspiration for the television series Scandal. Smith is the author of the recent book, Good Self, Bad Self: Transforming Your Worst Qualities into Your Biggest Assets.
