Bulletstorm PC review
You get moments with this hobby, where you mentally step away and realise exactly what you'd look like to an outsider. It's not pretty. I'm playing in a darkened room, the shades pulled tight, and I'm shouting to three other people. "HIS ARSE IS OPEN. FOR GOD'S SAKE HIS ARSE IS OPEN. SHOOT IT! SHOOT IT SHOOT IT! SHOOT HIS OPEN ARSE!"
I see myself from above. My eyes are focused on the swollen buttocks of a fat man. I've just shot him until he collapsed, almost defeated, onto one knee. What am I doing? Is this what 2,000 years of western civilisation has accomplished? Now I've circled behind him and kicked open the armoured flap covering his blubbery rear end. Humankind has split the atom, we've walked on the moon. Now three friends and I are readying our pretend guns to fire into a fat man's exposed anus.
Bulletstorm revels in its childishness. Kicked out of the super secret space army for questioning orders, riotously drunk ex-assassin Grayson Hunt seems to be aiming for some kind of accolade as the universe's worst man. Stranded on a resort world overrun by murderous weirdos, his most uttered word seems to be 'cocksucker.' The sole female character is little more than another marine, burdened with the daddy issues ubiquitous to gaming women and dressed in a pair of breasts. I should turn the monitor off in disgust, and stalk from the room.
I don't. I unload a full clip from my weapon into the fat man's arse instead. Three other channels of fire lance simultaneously from my teammates, riddling the man's bottom with bullets. One of us starts cackling. Mumbling now, I repeat the mantra "shoot the arse. Shoot the arse." Eventually, the man slumps forward. He dies, and as he dies, he farts his last, a long and mournful bass note accompanied by a jet from flame from his bumhole.
As one, we cheer. We've finished wave 20 of Bulletstorm's cooperative multiplayer mode and made a man shit himself to death. We're allowed to celebrate. As a unit, we've kicked, shot, and giant-electric-lassoed hundreds of disfigured, disgusting gangsters in Anarchy mode. But 'anarchy' is a misnomer: despite the blood and guts and arses, both the cooperative-only multiplayer mode and ten hour singleplayer campaign demand restraint and discipline unheard-of in other FPS games.
Bulletstorm is maliciously playful, but it takes a while for your brain to accept that. On my first attempt, I had a gun, I pointed it at the stream of mutants who wanted to murder my space-hero, and I pressed the trigger until they fell down. It was unsatisfying. Bulletstorm's standard rifle – the jokingly named Peacemaker Carbine – is a bullethose that takes a good few seconds to wipe the head from even the flimsiest foe. Play the game as you're conditioned to play shooters – run to cover and pop your targets with concentrated gunfire – and Bulletstorm is an incredibly dull game. But you should know that you're playing it wrong.
The farting fat man isn't Bulletstorm's only trump: in addition to a gun, you have an electric leash, and a big fucking boot. Fire the leash at an enemy and you'll grab them and yank them toward you. Apply your foot to the face of a foe and they'll fly away. Both methods lead to a few glorious seconds of slow-motion, your chosen target drifting serenely through the air, their vital and squishy bits open to any punishment you fancy unloading.
I quickly slipped into a routine of applied sadism. I'd pick my victim and reach across the space between us with a line of blue energy. A moment of panic on his stupid face, and he'd be floating in my direction, legs akimbo. It'd be rude to refuse such an offer. A few shells in the scrotum, and back he'd go, booted in the direction he'd just come by my big shoe. I'd let him stand up, shake himself off, then snatch him again. At the last second, before his leaking body crumpled into my own, I'd stand aside and laugh as he sailed off the lip of a cliff. Did I mention I was standing at the edge of a cliff? I didn't tell him, either.
A shot gangster gives you ten points. A kicked-then-shot gangster gives you 250 points, and the words 'BULLET KICK' in bold yellow letters on your screen. A lassoed then-kicked-into-the-spines-of-a-cactus gangster earns you the PRICKED skill-shot and 500 points. Five gangsters, flicked into the sky by the leash's alternate fire mode and subsequently shot by a supercharged shotgun blast that reduces their scarred forms to glowing red skeletons and a pouchfull of ash, earns you more points than you can count and so many letters on the screen that you can't see what to shoot next.
That last method made me feel infinitely bigger, cleverer and filthier than the first. It gave me a desire to kill creatively, and a compulsion to get to the next fight, the next theatre of pain. The formula only breaks down later in the game, when the plot introduces feral mutants as the main enemy. They're much stupider and easier to off than their still-human compatriots, running directly at you instead of taking cover. It reduces the opportunity for clever leash-play and turns fights into drudgery.
The compunction to kill well is magnified by the practical application of skillshot points: they go toward all of Bulletstorm's unlocks. Those unlocks do standard things – such as increase the ammunition capacity for the Peacemaker Carbine – but they also allow access to a more unhinged arsenal. There's the gun that fires two grenades attached by a chain. Wrap the bolas around an enemy and it'll immobilise them on the spot, letting you kick them into their friends and press the detonator. Or deliberately aim wide of your target, sending one grenade into a solid object as the other briefly becomes a horrible strimmer, tearing heads and rending flesh in a small arc.
Each weapon has a nasty application. I found myself flipping between sidearms at each checkpoint – not because I'd run out of ammo, but because my brain had been cycling through new means of murder I was keen to try. Sifting through the game's recorded skillshots turned me into a macabre Pokémon master, not resting until I'd collected all the heinous ways I could possibly end a life.
Bulletstorm's world is hyper-real, like you've come home to find your little brother has fiddled with the contrast settings on all your wars. The typical shooter palette has been jolted from fashionable slate grey to 'puked a rainbow'. This has the pleasing effect of making this perhaps the prettiest game I've ever seen on PC. It repeatedly uses the Far Cry/Oblivion trick of leading you by the hand through increasingly grey interior locations before depositing you on some gorgeous precipice, the entire world stretched out before you. But these events aren't underlined by sweeping music – they're just there, to be gawped at before the game's breakneck pace whips you along. "Oh," the game says, "this hundred-foot drop off a cliff into a churning river, lit by waning summer sunlight? That ain't no thing. Say, did you see my arses? You can shoot them."
And somehow, that keeps the game just charming enough. Bulletstorm never tries to reach above sci-fi hokum in plot, but its writing has enough heart – something I truly didn't expect in a game containing the line "you nearly scared the dick off me" – to let it surf the heavy wave of near-disgust I'd cultivated. The first time I chuckled openly at one of Grayson's quips, I stopped and scolded myself. The second time, I let it go. By the time I was laying waste to that poor fat man's arse, I was snickering freely. That doesn't mean I ever fell in step with the game's willful crassness though: the developers' idea of a 'strong female character' is still laughable.
Bulletstorm is not art by any metric. It's difficult to defend, like a friend you take to a party who ends up pissing in a vase. You don't want to be associated with him, but shit, he provides an evening of excitement. It's a game that's very proud of the f-words it's learnt, and it uses them a lot. Fast. Frantic. Fatuous. Full-on. And yes, that other one: fun.
A short sharp shock, Bulletstorm's lowest-common-denominator violence offers 15 hours of entertainment.

Blood Profile
Blood Profile
A blood profile, or panel, refers to a measurement of multiple laboratory values that give information about the functions of your body systems. Blood profiles provide information about your general state of health, help your health professional find abnormalities, and determine whether treatment for a specific problem is effective. Blood profiles are also used as screening tests for healthy (asymptomatic) people. Your health professional can use information obtained from a blood profile not only to make dietary or lifestyle recommendations but also to follow the progression of diseases.
Laboratory values commonly tested in a blood profile include the following:

St Stephen's Green is central Dublin's largest and most varied park, whose statuary provides a poignant history lesson in stone, wood and bronze. The main sightseeing draws in the area date from the Georgian period: the splendid stuccowork of Newman House and the elegant streets and squares to the east of the Green. St Stephen's Green preserves its distinctive Victorian character with a small lake, bandstand, arboretum and well-tended flower displays. It was originally open common land, a notoriously dirty and dangerous spot and the site of public hangings until the eighteenth century. In 1880, however, it was turned into a public park with funding from the brewer Lord Ardilaun (Arthur Guinness), who now boasts the grandest of the Green's many statues, seated at his leisure on the far western side. Over at the northeast corner, a row of huge granite monoliths – nicknamed "Tonehenge" – has been erected in honour of eighteenth-century nationalist Wolfe Tone, behind which stands a moving commemoration of the Great Famine. Meanwhile, on the west side of the central flower display, a tiny plaque inlaid in a wooden park bench commemorates the so-called "fallen women" – mostly unmarried mothers or abused girls – who were forced to live and work in severe conditions in Ireland's Magdalen laundries; the last of them, in Dublin, wasn't closed down until 1996. From the Green's northwest corner, by the top of Grafton Street, you can hire a horse and carriage, either as a grandiose taxi or for a tour of the sights, which will typically set you back €40–50 for thirty minutes.
Termed in the eighteenth century "Beau Walk", St Stephen's Green North is still the most fashionable side of the square. The Shelbourne Hotel here claims to have been "the best address in Dublin" since its establishment in 1824 (see The Inner Southside). Beyond the hotel at the start of Merrion Row, the tiny, tree-shaded Huguenot Cemetery was opened in 1693 for Protestant refugees fleeing religious persecution in France. A large plaque inside the gates gives a roll call of Huguenot Dubliners, among whom the most famous have been writers Dion Boucicault and Sheridan Le Fanu.Read More
Newman House
Newman House
Newman House at 85–86 St Stephen's Green South boasts probably the finest Georgian interiors in Dublin, noted especially for their decorative plasterwork. The place is named after John Henry Newman, the famous British convert from Anglicanism, who was invited to found the Catholic University of Ireland here in 1854 as an alternative to Anglican Trinity College and the recently established "godless" Queen's Colleges in Belfast, Cork and Galway. James Joyce and Éamon de Valera were educated at what became University College Dublin (UCD), which now occupies a large campus in the southern suburbs.
Newman House began life as two houses. No. 85 is a Palladian mansion built by Richard Castle in 1738 and adorned with superb baroque stuccowork by the Swiss Lafranchini brothers, notably in the ground-floor Apollo Room, where the god himself appears majestically over the fireplace, attended by the nine muses on the surrounding walls. The much larger no. 86, with flowing rococo plasterwork by Robert West, the notable Dublin-born imitator of the Lafranchinis, was added in 1765. On the top floor of the latter are a lecture room, done out as in Joyce's student days (1899–1902), and the bedroom of the English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. Having converted from Anglicanism, Hopkins became a Jesuit priest and then Professor of Classics here in 1884; after five wretched years in Dublin, he died of typhoid and was buried in an unmarked grave in Glasnevin Cemetery.
George Bernard Shaw
George Bernard Shaw
Born in Dublin in 1856, George Bernard Shaw grew up among a Protestant family fallen on hard times. His father was an unsuccessful grain merchant and alcoholic – prompting Shaw to become a lifelong abstainer – and there was no money to pay for his education. At 15 he started work as a junior clerk for a land agency, but five years later went to London to join his mother who had moved there to further the musical career of one of his sisters. Reliant on what little income his mother earned as a music teacher, Shaw set about educating himself by spending his afternoons in the reading room of the British Museum. He hoped to become a novelist, but, following the rejection of no fewer than five novels, turned his hand to journalism instead, contributing music and drama criticism to London newspapers.
Shaw was a devout socialist, joining the Fabian Society in 1884, writing pamphlets and gaining a reputation as a natural orator. He espoused numerous causes, including electoral reform, vegetarianism and the abolition of private property. His theatrical career began in the 1890s when, influenced by Ibsen, he began to compose plays focusing on social and moral matters, rather than the romantic and personal subjects which then dominated British theatre.
In 1898 he married the heiress Charlotte Payne-Townshend and the same year saw the production of his first successful play, Candida. A stream of equally lauded comedy-dramas followed – including The Devil's Disciple, Arms and the Man, Major Barbara and Pygmalion – though he later turned to more serious drama, such as Heartbreak House and Saint Joan. Simultaneously, he maintained an active career as a critic, journalist and essayist, his often bitterly ironic wit ("England and America are two countries separated by a common language") becoming legendary. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, but initially rejected the honour before relenting and giving his prize money to a newly established Anglo–Swedish Literary Foundation.
Shaw's attitude to Ireland was ever ambivalent – he once commented "I am a typical Irishman; my family came from Yorkshire" – and, though he remained interested in Irish affairs and became a personal friend of Michael Collins, his brand of democratic socialism would have been antipathetic to the austere Catholic and anti-British state that emerged post-independence. Shaw died in 1950 at Ayot St Lawrence, Hertfordshire.

KFFL answers important fantasy baseball questions about each Major League Baseball team as spring training approaches. What must fantasy baseball players know about the Milwaukee Brewers?
Why was Rickie Weeks weak?
We sure that wasn't Jemile Weeks? The elder brother's identity crisis puzzled many owners over Rickie's first three months, during which he clubbed just six home runs and hit .183. Decrying the "same old" Weeks made sense, to a degree, considering he hasn't hit higher than .279 in an at least a full-ish slate and there was speculation his health was once again a factor.
Weeks' second half was much more accurate. After regaining the strength in his lower body that was seemingly sapped because of lingering ankle woes, he notched, post-break, an OPS of .800 complete with 13 homers. The most important ingredient was turning those abundant infield cans of corn into digestible dingers.
In fact, in the final three months, he stole 10 of his 16 bags, and his strikeout rate dipped from 22.2 percent to 21.4 to 19.3. Though the dispersion is miniscule, he posted his highest contact percentage (75.2) in the last three years. More importantly, his swinging-strike rate of 9.9 was his lowest by a more significant margin in the last four years.
A healthy Weeks in a full season with these positive changes would revisit his top-five upside among keystoners. Luckily, the middle-round projection by most circles, which may look blindly at his surface numbers, gives him plenty of room to reward your bid with one of fantasy's optimal profit opportunities.
How much faith does Carlos Gomez deserve?

Low and LowerPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
There's a new band in town.
Cellist Brooks Whitehouse and bassist Paul Sharpe have teamed up to form Low and Lower, a duo they call
- More fun than just classical
- More serious than just comedy
- More virtuosic than the instrumentation suggests
- More hip than their training prepared them to be
They are sponsoring a competition for our students, challenging them to write pieces that incorporate extended techniques, vocal sounds, speech, etc. Deadline Sept. 29, concert Oct. 29. Sharpe visited our Composition Seminar to show off all the bass could do, and now a bunch of fun, crazy compositions have been launched. We'll see, at the end of the month, how they turn out.

Barbados' famous west coast (the 'platinum coast') is inundated with delightful little coves and holiday resorts, of which Sunset Crest stands out as one of the finest. Relaxing in a Sunset Crest villa in the St James parish of Barbados is a delightful way to spend a holiday, surrounded by the famous picture postcard landscape of the Caribbean's most popular holiday destination. Perfect for both families and couples, Sunset Crest has all the services you could need to have a completely unforgettable holiday in the sun, including a supermarket, beach club and communal swimming pools.
Taking a Sunset Crest villa will mean that you will spend a large proportion of your holiday on the glorious white sand beaches which have become famous due to their constant appearances on brochures and travel programmes. Sunset Crest is a haven for water sports, especially scuba diving, snorkelling and jet-skiing, although you can also enjoy para-gliding, kayaking and sailing too. Beach lovers will return home dreaming of their time spent in a Sunset Crest villa.
You can even play golf when staying in paradise! There are two surprisingly tough golf courses in St James, both of which are in easy reach of a self catering Sunset Crest villa. The countryside behind the resort is often overlooked as visitors head straight for the Sunset Crest beach and are so endeared by the comfort, beauty and rum cocktail beach bars that they never explore the hinterland. However, there is a whole world of entertainment available on land too. Walking, climbing, 4x4 driving and horse riding through the dense forests are a beautiful way to find out a little more about what makes the Platinum Coast so special, and come into contact with a few of the animals who call Sunset Crest home.
The closest place to a villa in Sunset Crest is the delightful Holetown, just a few miles along the coast. The original Barbadian settlement, Sunset Crest is the focus for many of the celebrations and festivals throughout St James. The week long annual celebration of the British landing in February is a wonderful time to be staying in a holiday home, as you will be swept up in the carnival atmosphere whether you intend to or not!
All year round, Barbados basks in daily averages of 29°C. The beaches are always blissfully spacious, despite the glorious weather. June until October is hurricane season, but the vast majority of hurricanes miss Barbados completely.
Barbados International Airport (BGI) receives direct flights from over 20 airports across the UK, provided by British Airways. Flights take just over 7 hours, and are cheaper than you might imagine. Although it seems many worlds away, you can be settling into a Sunset Crest villa within just 8 hours of leaving home.

Senator Amy Klobuchar recently sent a letter to the Department of Justice asking the DEA to make the fight against heroin a "top priority."
Now, Klobuchar and advocates support giving first responders the tools necessary to reverse the effects of a heroin overdose, but others think an antidote would exacerbate the problem.
"That's the real dangerous thing with heroin. There's no way with any user. Even if they're savvy about drugs to know when they're going to overdose," Hazelden medical director Joseph Lee said.
The availability and purity of heroin in Minnesota leads law enforcement to call it an epidemic.
"You know the statistics are alarming," Hennepin County sheriff Rich Stanek said. Stanek has witnessed the heroin market explode with 54 overdose deaths in Hennepin County alone last year -- that's more than one per week. A few years ago, there wasn't even one heroin death per month.
To reverse that trend, experts say, they need to break the heroin culture which includes addicts being afraid to call for help for fear of being arrested.
"Because when you use heroin with other heroin addicts right now the status quo is, 'I'll use with you but if you overdose it's every man and woman for himself,'" Lee said.
As much as 80 percent of heroin users do it another addict but more than half of overdose victims are found alone.
After her daughter's death, state Sen. Chris Eaton (DFL-Brooklyn Center) drafted legislation that would give immunity to someone who calls 911 to report a heroin overdose. It would also increase public access to a heroin antidote that could save a life.
Naloxone is a drug that reverses the effects of a heroin overdose giving them precious time to seek medical attention.
"A number of other law enforcement agencies across this country are carrying this and saving people each and every day," Stanek said.
Opponents say putting an antidote in the hands of the public will only encourage more risky behavior. Eaton says it's flawed logic.
"It's like saying putting seat belts and airbags in cars is going to cause people to go out and have more accidents," Sen. Eaton said.
"These are all-American children. These are our children. These are your children that fall prey to a disease. Naloxone is part of that solution," Lee said.
Many meeting attendees understand much of the problem stems from a relaxed attitude about prescription drugs. Consider this: 4 out of 5 heroin users start with prescription painkillers. However, heroin is cheaper, more powerful, and just as easy to get.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police in Columbus are trying to find out who murdered a Youngstown man, and why.
Detectives have identified the victim of a Monday shooting death as 29-year-old Brian Austin Jr. of Youngstown.
A news release from the police department's homicide division says that Austin was found lying in the threshold of the doorway of a home at 1624 East 25th. Avenue.
Police say Austin was suffering from gunshot wounds.
Austin was pronounced dead shortly after police arrived at 1:48 p.m.
Police say they have no obvious motive for the crime, and the release makes no mention of possible suspects.

We depart Shillong on September 10th and hope to make it to Jaisalmer at some point after that. We would like to be specific but the vehicle is too unreliable, the terrain is too tough, the weather too bad and the political situation too uncertain.
We believe the adventure is in the unknown!

The MG102C is an ideal mixer for basic music production or live sound applications that require high sound quality from a relatively small number of input sources. While remarkably compact and lightweight, no compromises have been made in sound quality. It even has built-in channel compressors that, although easy to operate, can significantly enhance the quality of your mixes. An optional adaptor allows mounting on a microphone stand for easy access and convenient positioning on stage.

Small but Sophisticated
Many real-world mixing applications only involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But no matter how simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio quality and processing capability. The MG102C is the ideal choice for small music production or live sound applications, offering sonic quality that will satisfy the most critical listener, surprising flexibility and ease-of-use, and some advanced features you normally wouldn't find in this type of compact mixer. So whether you need a compact main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a larger application, don't overlook this performance-packed model.
Flexible 8 or 10 Input Channel Configurations
The MG102C has a total of 10 input channels comprised of two mono microphone/line channels and four stereo line channels. Two of the stereo channel can be used as mono microphone inputs, providing a total of four microphone inputs when necessary. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB ~ -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB ~ +10dB for line input.
Comprehensive, Easy-access Connector Panel
Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. Featuring high-quality Neutrik™ balanced XLR connectors on both mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channel on the MG82CX provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. The two mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player or similar stereo source.
Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power
Microphone preamplifiers are critical in any mixer, and a performance bottleneck in many. That's why pros often spend thousands of dollars on just a single channel of microphone pre-amplification. The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's top-line professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. All four microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural, extended response of high quality condenser microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all four channels.
Built-in Channel Compressors
This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also be used to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. You won't find built-in channel compression on too many other mixers in this class, but in the MG102C you have Yamaha's innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 and 2. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want.
3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter
Building a truly useful, musical-sounding channel equalizer is no easy task, but Yamaha has decades of experience in building pro consoles to draw on, and you reap the benefits in the MG-series mixers. On the MG102C, Channels 1, 2, 3/4, and 5/6 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls, while channel 7/8 and 9/10 have 2-band EQ for smooth equalization of stereo sources.
Aux Send
The MG102C has AUX send controls on all channels that adjust the level of the signal sent from the corresponding channel to the output in the master section. This signal can also be sent to external effect processors via the AUX SEND jack. A RETURN control in the master section adjusts the level of the signal returned from external processors via the RETURN jacks.
Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs
Located above the mixer's master controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be compact, but these mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications.
Bright Meters for Visual Level Monitoring
Accurate visual level monitoring can help you achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio without distortion. The MG mixer's bright, easy-to-read multi-segment LED meters make it easy to control system levels for optimum overall performance.
Lightweight, Portable Design
The MG102C weighs only 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds). That's small enough to pop into your briefcase or shoulder bag and easily take with you anywhere. But the performance you'll get at the studio, club, outdoors, or anywhere you choose to use these fine mixers is far from lightweight.
Optional Mic Stand Mount
The MG102C can be mounted on a microphone stand for optimal positioning and easy access using the optional BMS-10A Mic Stand Adaptor. This can be particularly handy when using the mixer as sub-mixer for drums or as a cue box in recording situations.
Easy Operation
All switches, controls, and displays have been designed and laid out for intuitive access and smooth, reliable operation with positive tactile and visual feedback.

Comments about Yamaha mg102c:
This is a nice little mixer for home or small, simple sound systems. Professional performers will likely want something more robust. However for the price, this one gets the job done, has nice sound and a few useful effects. I am a drummer playing our now and then and when I mike up, I clamp this puppy to my throne and get a nice feed to the main/house system with no fuss. For solo, duet, or trio acoustic performers not using a package system, this would be a good item to keep ready for differing venues. The plastic case & controls aren't by any means flimsy, but require a little extra caution.

Comments about Yamaha mg102c:
If you are a DJ or doing small acoustic performances this is a perfect board for that. It is extremely quiet and if you hear any noise it is probably coming from what you are plugging into it! The combination of inserts on 2 channels and compression for 4 inputs makes this board very useful. Having the 80Hz low frequency cut is great. I only wish I had one more aux send. That would make this board amazing. But for the money there is nothing else out there that compares for price/quality. This can be used as a mic send from stage where the monitor mix could be sent back to the stage through the monitor return on this board. That way the performer has control over his level of vocal and the monitor feed from the stage. Note how the LED works in the manual from the monitor feed.
- Good Execution

- Will Not Use - Returned
Comments about Yamaha mg102c:
I may have gotten a lemon, Two 1/4 inch channels cancelled each other out as well as 2 worthless mono channels with absolutely no depth.
Regardless, it still does not excuse the fact that is not a true 8 channel mixer, only 4 xlr inputs and no xlr outs, unsuitable for my purposes.

I have used other products for kids, but this is the best. I have 2 very healthy kids that Mom's could not feed. I have lost babies in the past from other products. This stuff is awesome!!!!
This stuff is a life saver! Gave it to a weak kid who could not nurse and it really helped. Now I give it to all my new born kids.
"LOVE this product!"
I am SO happy that I started using this a few years back. I make sure to always have a tube of it onhand during every kidding season. All of my doe's have been great mom's without any issues, but I always put a tiny pea sized amount of this on the tongue of every kid at birth. My kids are always healthy, active, and bouncing around within an hour of birth. LOVE this product! Highly recommend it to anyone breeding goats!

Duchess Kate loves the Olympics - Rule 5

She is a lovely young woman...Thaks much for the linkagery Opus.

She'd be a fun buddy on a bar crawl in the West Los Angeles area.

I never thought I'd see her as a rule 5. You pulled it off well. That is where that ring belongs, on her son's wife's finger.

Kate has such enthusiasm. I think Princess Diana would be proud to have Kate wearing her wedding ring. She is one classy woman.

I shivered when I knew she'd be wearing that ring that had such bad will in it...but she has pulled it off. How she accepted it is beyond me with that history!
She's poised, lovely, a bit too thin but gorgeous........and it seems like she is the perfect addition to the Royal Family.

Now All Roads Lead to France
Matthew Hollis
Edward Thomas was perhaps the most beguiling and influential of First World War poets. Now All Roads Lead to France is an account of his final five years, centred on his extraordinary friendship with Robert Frost and Thomas's fatal decision to fight in the war.
The book also evokes an astonishingly creative moment in English literature, when London was a battleground for new, ambitious kinds of writing. A generation that included W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Robert Frost and Rupert Brooke were 'making it new' - vehemently and pugnaciously.
These larger-than-life characters surround a central figure, tormented by his work and his marriage. But as his friendship with Frost blossomed, Thomas wrote poem after poem, and his emotional affliction began to lift. In 1914 the two friends formed the ideas that would produce some of the most remarkable verse of the twentieth century. But the War put an ocean between them: Frost returned to the safety of New England while Thomas stayed to fight for the Old.
It is these roads taken - and those not taken - that are at the heart of this remarkable book, which culminates in Thomas's tragic death on Easter Monday 1917.

New Zealand Battlefield Memorial: Mesen
The New Zealand battlefield memorial (similar in design to the New Zealand Memorial at 's Graventafel) is located at the New Zealand Memorial Park (on Nieuwzeelanderstraat). This memorial honours the soldiers of the New Zealand Division that fought in the Battle of Messines from 7 to 14 June 1917. The memorial park, which houses the remains of two German pill-boxes, overlooks the area from where the New Zealanders attacked on 7 June 1917.

Activision-Blizzard's Pattern of Success Will Continue
Nihar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
During the first 24 hours Call of Duty: Black Ops II was on store shelves, it raked in half a billion dollars. This broke the previous record for opening day sales, originally set by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 one year ago. Activision-Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) really hit it out of the park with the Call of Duty series. Even lumping it together as one franchise does not do it justice anymore. There is the World War 2-era games, Modern Warfare, and Black Ops that form mini-franchises and have different developers. I'm impressed, because being able to manage all of these moving parts at the same time is amazing.
I only wish some of the other properties in Activision-Blizzard were as successful; for instance, the recent Prototype 2 did not do as well as I would have hoped. I liked it less than the first game, and I think the series ends with the second. More Call of Duty games are in the works, but I would like to see some other properties take-off.
The Blizzard side is slow, but strong. Diablo 3 was quite successful and broke many records of its own. However, it has the issue of being a PC-only title, and those will never compete with cross-platform games in terms of sheer sales. I have never been a big fan of first-person shooters, so Black Ops escaped my notice, but I have gone and bought the first and second ones now. I assumed they were normal video game successes of great quality. I was aware of the reviews, but not of the massive sales.
Black Ops II have not entered into an earnings report yet, since the release date was Nov. 13, 2012. It will be nice to see all that revenue, though last quarter Activision had Diablo 3, so the comparison might not be as extreme as it could be. Video games tend to make most of their money around release, just like movies. Also, it is not uncommon to put off purchases to the holiday season, though that is a decision by the parents of gamers who cannot save enough money to buy it on their own; this means that with two quarters of record-breaking games in a row, 2012 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for Activision-Blizzard.
It is hard to criticize Blizzard with the success they have had. However, the long lead time with the expansions of the company's hit game, StarCraft, worries me. There are some graphics updates in the new Heart of the Swarm, but the minimum requirements are the same. I will compromise and say Heart of the Swarm will look amazing, but if the third expansion (Legacy of the Void) takes another year or two I imagine it would look dated. Between the game and the second expansion, enough time has passed that many companies would have created a completely new engine. Perhaps I am worried for nothing, but I would hate to see a review that says amazing gameplay but graphics look dated.
PC gaming is in dire straits, and Legacy of the Void will have a hard time if people have consoles, iPads, and netbooks instead of high-powered PCs. You cannot rely on hardcore gamers, since they focus on consoles too. There are not many stalwart PC gamers left. Gamers are sometimes fickle creatures, though every now and then you will see admirable loyalty among fans. To that end, looking at competitors' offerings is critical to evaluating the continued success of Activision-Blizzard.
Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) has its own strong properties. EA always strikes me as a sprawling company compared to Activision-Blizzard. It has so many arms and properties. The sports games like Madden are bound to be winners, bringing in steady profits. There is also The Sims, Battlefield, and Need for Speed. On the other hand, I do not think most people want hear about the World Series of Yahtzee. I am sure the game will turn a profit, but I doubt it will be a blockbuster. Games like Medal of Honor were great in their heyday, but that became supplanted by Call of Duty. EA is not the only competitor out there, though.
I am disappointed that THQ's (NASDAQOTH: THQIQ) Darksiders 2 did not sell too well. After an October release, about 1.5 million copies have been sold. Considering its cross-platform nature and the quality of the game I would have hoped for at least 3 million sales. Saints Row 3 is doing okay too, but THQ really needs to turn itself around. I really am surprised at the weakness, because some of their properties and licenses are amazing. Darksiders, Dawn of War, and Saints Row are all quality franchises. I say from personal experience that both Darksiders games are incredibly addicting and fun, with a top-notch setting and mythology.
If THQ can get its house in order it has some strong properties to leverage, but I will admit that the games appeal to a smaller section of gamers. In that case, it needs to do something about expenses, because its almost -20% profit margin is abhorrent. All-in-all THQ has some quality products, and I am not willing to resign it to history yet. I want to take a closer look at THQ in the future.
For the sane and safe, Activision-Blizzard is a fantastic choice. I just see Electronic Arts as a bit too all over the place. I like companies that I can quickly glance at and see if they are strong or weak. The Activision side of Activision-Blizzard makes that a bit difficult, but nowhere near as tough as with Electronic Arts. Also, all experience with the company has led me to believe that Activision-Blizzard only wants to indulge in the most top-notch properties, and even average games are cut. Prototype 2 did okay, but not great. Subsequently, the company is shrinking the studio that made it.

Shinnecock Indian Nation

The Shinnecock Indian Nation is a federally recognized tribe of historically Algonquian-speaking people based on Long Island, New York. The tribe is headquartered in Suffolk County,[1] on the southeastern shore of Long Island. The tribe's landbase is the Shinnecock Reservation within the geographic boundaries of the Town of Southampton. They are related to the historic Pequot and Narragansett peoples of southern New England.
Federal recognition[edit]
The Shinnecock were recognized by the United States government in October 2010 after a 30-year court battle.[2][3] The Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs, George T. Skibine issued the final determination of the tribe's recognized status on June 13, 2010.[1]
The Shinnecock Indian Reservation is a self-governing reservation. By 1859, the current borders of 800 acres (3.2 km2) were established. Every Labor Day Weekend since 1946, the reservation hosts a powwow. Ceremonies beginning in 1912 developed into the powwow held today.[4] The Shinnecock Powwow is ranked by USA Today as one of the ten great powwows held in the United States.[5] In 2008 the powwow attracted 50,000 visitors.[6]
In 1972 the Shinnecock Native American Cultural Coalition (SNACC) was formed to establish a Native American arts and crafts program. Traditional dancing, beadwork, Native American crafts and music are studied. A group called The Youngblood Singers was formed. Dedicated to learning traditional Algonquian songs, chants, and drum rituals, they travel throughout the Northeast performing at powwows and drum contests.[7] The Cultural Enrichment Program is a sharing and learning process that the community has engaged in to ensure that the ideals and traditions of their ancestors are passed down through the generations. It involves sharing knowledge of food, clothing, arts, crafts, dance, ceremonies, and language.[8]
The reservation has a museum, shellfish hatchery, education center, community center, playground,[9] and Presbyterian church. The reservation is three miles (5 km) west of the village of Southampton, New York. In 1903, it had a population of 150. In 2012 the Shinnecock Nation numbered more than 1,400 people and more than half reside on the reservation.[10][11] Thunder Island Coffee Roasters is a Shinnecock-owned and operated business located on the reservation. The coffee is roasted by Ben Haile, the owner. His business ships whole bean and ground organically grown coffee throughout the United States.[12]

The Shinnecock are believed to have spoken a dialect of Mohegan-Pequot-Montauk, similar to their neighbors the Montaukett on Long Island. Their western neighbors were Lenape people, who most likely spoke an R-dialect of Munsee. The languages became extinct sometime in the mid-19th century, as numbers of native speakers were drastically reduced. A few words have survived to the modern day.
The Shinnecock were culturally affiliated with, as well as politically subject to, the Pequot and Narragansett, the more powerful tribes of southern New England across Long Island Sound.
Like the other Native peoples of Long Island, the Shinnecock made wampompeag (wampum), shell beads strung onto threads that were used as currency, for record-keeping, and for aesthetic purposes. These shell beads have been found at inhabited sites as far west as the Rocky Mountains, showing their value in trade. Although other New England tribes produced wampompeag, the Indians of Long Island are reputed to have made the best. The tribe was subject to raids by the Pequot and other New England tribes to control this valuable trade commodity. The Europeans quickly learned the value of the Shinnecock wampompeag in trade with other tribes.
Native Americans populations on Long Island declined dramatically after colonization due mostly to new infectious diseases carried by European colonists. In addition, their communities were disrupted by land encroachment by Dutch, and later English colonists. After the American Revolutionary War, many Shinnecock left Long Island to join the Brothertown Indians in western New York (and later migrated with them to Wisconsin); they lost their distinct cultural identity. Others intermarried with local colonists, including African-American slaves, but often reared their children as Shinnecock, maintaining their identity and culture.
In 1703, English colonists established a leasehold for tribal members in Southampton. In 1792, the state of New York passed a law reorganizing the Shinnecock Indian Tribe as a trusteeship. The law also established annual elections for three tribal trustees, which have continued from 1792 to the present. In the Fall of 2010, the Shinnecock gained federal recognition and had their reservation put in trust. For over two centuries, the trustees have managed the tribe's land and resources.[1]
The Shinnecock were at home on the water, long being fishermen and sailors around the island. Through the 19th century, Shinnecock men worked as fishermen and sailors on the whaling ships based at Sag Harbor and other ports.[13] At the start of the 20th century, the Shinnecock were described as "daring seamen," and "furnishin[g] efficient recruits to the United States Life Saving Service" (Coast Guard),[14] In December 1876, ten Shinnecock men died while trying to save a ship stranded off East Hampton.[15] The tribe is famous in local lore for their heroic efforts.
Land claims dispute[edit]
In 2005 the nation filed a lawsuit against the state seeking the return of 3,500 acres (14 km²) in Southampton located near the tribe's reservation, and billions of dollars in reparations for damages suffered by colonial land grabs. The disputed property includes the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, which Shinnecock say is the location of tribe burial grounds.
The tribe has challenged the state legislatures' approval of an 1859 sale of the 3500 acres of tribal land. This broke the terms of a 1,000-year-lease signed by Southampton colonial officials and the tribe in 1703. The suit charges that in 1859, a group of powerful New York investors conspired to break the lease by sending the state Legislature a fraudulent petition from a number of Shinnecock tribal members. Although other tribal members immediately protested that the petition was a forgery, the Legislature approved the sale of 3,500 acres (14 km²) of tribal land.
Casino proposals[edit]
In 2007 the tribe proposed building gaming casinos to generate revenues for welfare and education, but it has not proceeded to development.[16]

New Year's Eve has always been a time to reflect on the past and more importantly, set goals for the upcoming year. There is nothing that I want more this year, than for you to take action to live and finish rich in 2012. That's why I am giving you an easy to use financial action plan for the New Year—so let's get started!
According to a new Fidelity Research Report, the number one goal of American's is to double their savings in 2012. What I want you to do is take out your 401k statement and either increase the dollar amount or increase the percentage of your contribution. If you just change it by 1% this year, you will make a positive impact on your financial life and savings. Making this increase to your savings is the single easiest thing you can do right off the bat for 2012.
2012 is the time to use technology to your advantage when it comes to your finances. The best part about automating your financial life is that it can be done in less than an hour and it will save you time and money for years to come! You need to start by making sure your paycheck is directly deposited into your checking account. Then by using online banking and bill pay you will distribute your money automatically into the following key accounts:
1) Retirement Savings
2) Emergency Savings
3) College Savings
4) Dream Account (i.e. vacations, holidays savings)
5) Mortgage Payment
6) Credit Card Bills (minimum payment, so you will never miss a payment again)
7) Recurring bills (utilities, phone, cable, etc.)
It's reported that over 50% of American's do not have a will. The reality is, everyone needs a will, even if you are not married or don't have kids. Think of your family and friends that you would want to receive your life's work. Many people do not realize that making a will can actually be quick and relatively cheap. You can create a will yourself for as less $50, using a program such as Quicken Will Maker or you can hire an attorney to help you.
Critical things that you will need in your will are:
- Health care directive
- Financial power of attorney
- Executor documents
- Final arrangements
The best way to improve your financial life that I know of, other paying yourself first, is to track where your money is actually going. I would use a site like Mint.com , or Yodlee Money Center. They have the best programs online to track your expenses and they use the same encryption system the banks do, so your information will be safe. If you don't want your expenses tracked online then you can go get an old school "budget tracker" workbook and keep track of where your money goes each month. Then review your finances to see what you are wasting money on or spending too much on and then stop that specific spending!
January is a great time of the year to clean out everything in your house that you don't need and then sell it or give it away—especially if you have a storage facility. If you are paying to store things you don't really use and realistically will probably never use now is the time to get rid of everything! Doing this one act could save you over $1,000 a year. What you can do to help yourself, is to look up companies in your area that will come photograph and sell your unwanted items for you, saving you time and making you money.
I would like to say, that this is my personal, number one, New Year's resolution to help me save in 2012. In fact, you can mark my words that I will get rid of my storage facility this year!
One of the fastest ways to cut your expenses in 2012 is to pick ONE thing and give it up. We all hate to do it at first, but once we make the change, we usually find out it's not the end of the world and can be completely worth the savings. For example, you can give up a car. For many families this can cut expenses by $5,000 to $10,000 a year! If you don't think you can give up your car, really think about it, what can give you up? What are you paying for each year that you truly could try and live without? Is it your storage facility? Is it premium cable? Is it a cell phone? Is it a second home? A vacation you ALWAYS take? Sometimes just deciding to give up "one thing" can completely change your financial life. Then these savings could be used to pay down your debt, OR save for retirement, emergency purposes, college OR all of the above!
What I want you to remember is that you don't need to have a doctorate in math to get these things done; you just need the motivation to make a positive financial change in your life. Trust me—it will be worth it! To connect with like-minded people and get support on your journey to live and finish rich join my community on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
Finally, for all of you that voted for me as your favorite expert of 2011, THANK YOU! Your votes have pushed me to 2nd place in the poll and now I need your help getting me to 1st. To vote now, click HERE.
Live Rich,
