Hilton Head Commission Gives Green Light to Mall of Shelter Cove ...

The Mall at Shelter Cove is getting a facelift! The Hilton Head Island Planning Commission has approved plans presented by a real estate affiliate of the Kroger Co., which purchased the 300,000 square foot mall and its surrounding 42 acres properties back in August 2011. The proposal calls for 295,000 square feet of commercial space, and a residential property which will include 210 apartments to be built along Broad Creek. A new community park, a gas station, restaurants, stores, a liquor store and ? of course ? a Kroger grocery store are also included.

Along the waterfront community park and apartments will include an access road that is pedestrian-friendly and which allows access to the Creek. The apartments will be cater to high-end renters and is slated to include several amenities designed to attract young single professionals or couples and/or retirees. The project is sure to revitalize an area of Hilton Head which has dwindled in activity in recent years. The Town Council will be meeting later this summer to give the final approval to the project. This will result in enhancing an already healthy city economy. For more information regarding the redevelopment project, check out the full article here.

Hilton Head Island is a wonderful place to visit?and is truly an amazing place to live. Contact me, Jacque Johnson at 843-816-2483 or email me? and let me use my Hilton Head real estate experience as a South Carolina licensed real estate Broker to help you make Hilton Head your home.

Civilization V: Gods & Kings

Expansion packs have been available for PC games for more than 20 years now, but it?s difficult to think of another that has effected a more elemental transformation on its base title than the first for Sid Meier?s Civilization V. The addition of Gods & Kings ($29.99 list) helps it not only live up to its name, but also lets the 2010 original realize more of the promise that has until now eluded it. If Gods & Kings is too limited in scope to utterly revolutionize this chapter of the storied conquer-the-world saga, it?s nonetheless good enough to make Civilization V the game it always should have been.

This is no small achievement. Civilization V was most notable not for what was in it, but what wasn?t: the character, color, and complexity that had routinely defined the previous entries in this quintessential strategy series. Whereas each of the others since the first (in 1991) had built on and developed the underlying elements of what it meant to found and nourish an opposition-crushing empire (or fade into obscurity trying), the fifth chapter pulled everything back to a safer, more sedate distance, where many concepts that had been crucial were either downplayed or deleted altogether. It seemed as though Firaxis Games was so hungrily eyeing the board-gamer and first-timer markets that it stopped caring about whether the newest Civilization was a great Civilization, so the result was at most good?and just barely that.

Gods & Kings does more than I?d imagined any post-facto release could to restore the balance between detail and accessibility. Although it adds or revises plenty of content?there are nine new civilizations, about 20 new buildings and wonders, nearly 30 new units, and myriad adjustments to the technology tree?it?s its biggest swipes that dazzle most and make Civilization V not just worth playing, but worth re- and re-re-playing in a way it?s never been before.

That Old Time Religion
Central to the revisions of Gods & Kings is the reappearance of religion, the baffling absence of which was one of Civilization V?s blackest features. It?s been added in two separate ways: as an activity you pursue, first by creating a polytheistic pantheon that confers minor benefits and then graduating to a more specific and structured system (with more useful rewards); and as the new Faith resource, which gives you a new way to add units, construct buildings, and deal with the other rulers and city-states you?ll encounter during play. (The new Great Prophet unit is instrumental in spreading and advancing religion as ordinance and ordnance.)

Religion is, as history dictates it should be, vital in the early game, when the weblike pattern of the various beliefs? march across the globe becomes its own kind of arms race. Its geopolitical impact lessens as the centuries pass, but it beautifully fulfills its role as the force for good and evil it?s been throughout humanity?s history. Gods & Kings doesn?t integrate religion as fully into the action as Civilization IV did, but its having a prominent role once again represents a thrilling return to First Principles that should never have been abandoned.

I Spy
Much the same is true of espionage, which has also made an impressive comeback. You?re awarded spies as the centuries tick by (or you meet other criteria, such as constructing the proper wonder), and you can use these to either steal other civilizations? technologies, protect your own, or uncover intelligence that will help you barter and bait your enemies. There?s an unfortunate passivity to the handling of all this?one would think that international spying would be more hands-on and exciting?but it makes both overt and covert relations with your opponents feel real and vital once again.

Tweaks and Scenarios
Everything else in Gods & Kings is secondary to these changes, but there's no major misstep to be found. Some nice tweaks come with city-states: They now utilize a stronger quest system that more seamlessly encourages interaction with the major players; and two more characteristics for them (Religious and Mercantile) add extra flavor to Civilization V's one pioneering mechanic. Naval combat is more focused now, with ships divided into two different types (melee and ranged) that make attacks from the sea more threatening than before; another new Great Person type, the Great Admiral, gives you some extra options while sailing the seas as well. Three new scenarios provide excellent pre-fab adventures, with the all-out steampunk ?Empires of the Smoky Skies? being the most deftly designed and compelling. Enemy AI for single-player run-throughs has been fixed, so you get more satisfying challenges at the higher difficulty levels. Everything about Civilization V is now just better.

That said, it?s important to note that any expansion pack, even one this extensive, can only do so much. Religion and espionage may be back, but they still feel more like they?ve been shoehorned into the existing structure rather than that they?re occupying the pride of place they should have had from the start. If you?ve never warmed up to many of the new rules (such as unit stacking, or lack thereof), there aren?t sufficient rethinks or revamps here to convince you otherwise. And despite all you get, Gods & Kings doesn?t come with all the maps and civilizations that came with previous downloadable content packages?you still have to purchase those separately if you want everything.

A Civilized Update
Regardless, Gods & Kings is a must-have for all Civilization V owners?whether fans or detractors. It may have its own imperfections and inadequacies, but it addresses and corrects more egregious faults from the original than any gamer had any right to expect. Many players?myself included?will still find themselves longing for the epic, engrossing intricacy of Civilization IV, as you don?t get all of that with this restricted conception. But without Gods & Kings, you?re simply not experiencing Civilization V at its best.

Judge hearing arguments over Miss. abortion law

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) ? A judge in Mississippi is hearing arguments over whether an abortion law should be allowed to take effect.

If the law is allowed to be put in place, it could close Mississippi's only abortion clinic. The law has been temporarily blocked by U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III.

The judge gave the clinic and the government one hour each Wednesday afternoon to argue over the law.

The law requires anyone performing abortions at the clinic in Jackson to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.

The clinic says the admitting privileges are not medically necessary and it has been unable to obtain them for its two out-of-state OB-GYNs. The government says the privileges help protect patients.

Trying to Untangle Anarchist Attacks On Scientists

bricko writes with an analysis at New Scientist of recent violence by self-described anarchists against scientists or scientific establishments, including the non-fatal shooting in Genoa in May of the head of a nuclear energy company. That attack "was the latest in a series of alleged anarchist attacks on scientists and engineers, including the attempted bombing of nanotechnology labs in Switzerland and Mexico. This wave of politically motivated violence has raised the question: why do anarchists hate science? Beyond the unsubtle threat of brute force, there are deeper issues that merit attention." The "hate science" line is just a line; the author is under no illusion that there is a single conspiracy, or that all who claim the "anarchist" mantle have identical (or even similar) views of science. "Despite the recent attacks and propaganda, anarchists actually have a complex relationship with science and technology. Some leading figures from anarchist history were scientists, notably Russian biologist Peter Kropotkin. Many hacktivists are anarchists who embrace technology; fiction authors sometimes look toward a future 'technotopia' based on anarchist ideals."
