Another new addition to Halo 3 are the Halo 3 skulls. These skulls once obtained can allow the gamer to change their game play by making it more challenging, or changing things such as dialogue or appearance. These skulls are generally placed out of the way so that gamers have to look around in different levels to be able to find them. This however does tend to lead to frustration for many gamers who have no idea where to look. For those gamers, there are many different walkthroughs available for them all over the internet to help them obtain these skulls.

Silver skulls however are different. They will not unlock any achievements and there are 4 Silver skulls in total. When a gamer collects all of the Silver Skulls they will be able to change the physics, dialogue and appearance of the game. Take for example the IWHBYD skull, better known as the ‘I Would Have Been Your Daddy’ skulls. When this skull is found and unlocked it can change dialogue for the AI players. The gamer may hear AI brutes saying ‘Pie is good’ or they may hear AI Marines saying ‘THIS IS SPARTA!’

Marilyn Monroe left the world suddenly and unexpectedly forty-five years ago this August but since that fateful day her popularity has not waned. In fact in many ways Marilyn Monroe has continued to shine even more brightly. The further away that history takes us from this tragic icon, the closer the world wants to reach back to Marilyn Monroe in order to learn about her, discover all the details of her brief life and connect with her in any way possible.

Movies of passionate love relationships between men and women have always held a special place in our cultural heritage. Movies about great love affairs have been made from the classic stories of Lancelot and Guinevere, Heloise and Abelard, and Romeo and Juliet. These classics are remembered as symbols of physical passion and spiritual devotion. Although they are most often regarded as love stories, the literary foundation of these movies is that of tragedies – and tragedies of a most telling kind.

Learning opportunities abound in New York City. Current admission rates are $3 for children and adults over the age of 12. Mount Vernon Hotel Museum and Garden is another great place to learn, this time it’s about history. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum is great fun for kids of all ages, shapes, sizes, and nationalities. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum was the very first museum of its kind, by that I mean the first museum that was dedicated to entertaining and educating children. The New York Hall of Science is another great learning experience that is available here. Exhibitions change frequently and always offer something fun for everyone. There are age appropriate activities for children and the science playground ($3 per person admission fee above the museum admission fee of $11 per adult and $8 per child is required for the playground) is always a big hit.

Chipping Away Your Writer’s Block

In almost every writer’s forum, the deplorable perennial problem of writer’s block has always been brought up by both professional creative writers. Some discussions have gone as deep as defining the nature of writer’s block. In case a writer’s block (a.k.a. "fear-of-the-blank-page") should come up in the middle of the deadline, the writer will be able to hopefully do something about it.

But what is a writer’s block? On the surface, it is simply a period of non-activity for the writer. A writer or a poet may attempt to write something based on the need to write something, but then they come up with absolutely nothing! What causes a writer’s block and what can be done about it? Here are some thoughts and suggestions:

1. The fear of coming up short from their last project – Collectively speaking, most artists and writers have an obsessive compulsion to concretize and materialize, through their works, abstracted thoughts and ideas. Once they start at some project, there is always that fear of producing something despairingly short of what they have intended to create. Thus, they become disappointed in themselves. If artistic or writer’s block does not happen prior to the start of the project, it may also very well occur while the work is in process. This explains why several writers may work on different projects at the same time and jumping from one unfinished work to another. Some even abandon previous works altogether for a new one but ultimately end up not accomplishing anything in the end.

2. A comeback after a long time off – Vacations and some time off taking care of familial/domestic or personal matters can only have two extreme results: either it rejuvenates, recharges and inspires the writer for the next project, or it completely diminishes or finishes off whatever is left of a prolific and fecund mind! Let’s face it, even professional writers are, first and foremost, human beings before they are writers. And, as humans, writers too are bound to lose footing once they have taken some time off from writing, if not inspired and recharged, as mentioned.

3. Insecurities – Lack of formal training…Being a newbie…The writing style…a friend who’s a better writer…etc., etc., etc., these can all spell one thing: insecurities. Our insecurities can really work nasty for writers. We know there is no other way out other than a paradigm shift or a change in perspective for the writer. We know that there will always be other people more educated, more renowned in the creative writing field. We know there will always be writers who are relatively better than us, other trends and styles in writing which the we can become unfamiliar and intimidated with. However, the bottomline is that it is just a matter of gritting your teeth with some decision-making: to write or not to write?

4. Bills to pay, daily tasks, and other small details – Where do I get the money for the bills? Who brings and fetches the children to and from school? For writers with actual day jobs and many deadlines to meet, who can still think of writing? These concerns, to mention only a few, hampers the writer’s writer’s sensitive thoughts. These are practical things that need to be done on the daily basis. On the surface, these concerns may seem harmless to an aspiring writer. However, eventually, these daily concerns will dry up the creative writer’s reservoir that needs constant nurturing. This is not to say, however, that children, career and domestic chores and other concerns should no longer be tended to in order to write. Being a great writer does not necessarily entail shunning away from daily practical concerns, in the same manner that a person with no other daily duties does not guarantee a prolific writer. Difficult for the right-brained writer as it may be, time must be managed. Schedules and systems must be established in order to attain the perfect juxtaposition and equilibrium of work (chores and responsibilities) and play (writing).

We check in with Quest Online to find out the current status of its project, the MMOG Alganon.

Alganon is a fantasy-based MMOG that takes place in the world of Ardonya. It features numerous race and class combinations, and a new blend of character progression and collaborative community-based features on top of a familiar and enhanced gameplay model that players have experienced with other titles. What makes Alganon special is that it was designed from the ground up to encapsulate what players enjoy the most about the successful MMOGs of today, and that it will integrate many fun and useful features that are currently “separate” in existing ones, or in some instances, not even related to the category.

My son had never paid too much attention to our music selection. I think he assumed that his parents would not have anything that he would want to listen to. He was very surprised at the number of albums that we still have and that we still have a turntable to play them on. We pulled out a number of Beatles songs that dated back to the early 60’s all the way to the Anthology album. I explained that I had purchased the Anthology Album at the Mall of America when it was first released. They still have a number of new releases on vinyl for the British that come to shop there.

Unquestionably, the word free is a very powerful word and it tends to draw people to it like moths to a flame. I used that analogy because it fits free P2P download sites exactly. While it sounds great to be able download all of your iPhone games and movies for free, there are far too many ways to get burned. Free P2P download sites are notorious for giving users computers malicious viruses, spyware and adware, not to mention the legal issues with sharing copyrighted materials. If after reading this, and you are still intent on playing with fire by going to a free P2P download site for your free iPhone games and free iPhone movies, you had better have some up to date kick butt virus protection. To save yourself from copyright legal issues, make sure you don’t share any of your media files with anyone.

I picked up a new book on South Dakota attractions and their history. They went into quite a bit of detail of how the original design of Mt Rushmore was made and all the work that went into the actual construction of the first three faces. They told about all the time and material it took to do the sculpting, how the workers actually repelled down the side of the mountain to place the dynamite charges and told of all the safety challenges that were involved. One thing I found interesting was their descriptions of all the tools of the time and how they worked for days and days with these tools just to get a small feature just right, that is if you can call any feature on a sculpture that big small. Then they told about constructing the Crazy Horse Memorial and how the technology and tools had changed. Crazy horse was built much more quickly than Mt Rushmore, not only because it was smaller, but also because of the better tools and equipment. There were also no lives lost constructing Crazy Horse unlike Mt Rushmore were several workers were killed. The safety equipment had also improved as well as government regulations
