A newly formed group is looking to build a platform for the future and transform Brighouse railway station into a focal point of the town.
The Friends of Brighouse Station group has been formed to improve the look and surroundings of the station and has grown from the Sunday Station Ambassador programme initiated by Steven Lord, of Brighouse Business Initiative (BBI), with Grand Central Railways.
Friends chairman David Bedding said: "As Ambassadors being at the station on Sundays we felt that there were improvements that could be made and, after some discussions with Northern Rail, the Station franchise holders, we decided to start the 'Friends of Brighouse Station' with the intent to improve the overall station environment.
"Northern Rail have been very supportive of our objectives and we look forward to continuing to develop our relationship with them."
The group will continue to work closely with the BBI with John Buxton working on the committee.
Calder Valley MP Craig Whittaker also showed his support for the group.
Brighouse councillors Scott Benton and Howard Blagbrough were also at the launch and confirmed council support for the initiative.
"The station is the first part of Brighouse that many of our visitors see and it's important to make a good first impression," they said.
Initially the group will be focusing on the car park and shrubbery and plans for flower tubs on the platforms in the Spring.
Grand Central Railways has already helped by funding the purchase of planters for the platforms.
The Friends are also looking for other members to join and help in their work.

The Best Postpartum Doula in Kansas City!
My KC Doula is currently contracting postpartum doula services with Oh Baby! KC. Please contact for more information.
A postpartum doula is a family's best friend. We strive to help families with healthy bonding and the transition to bringing a new baby into their lives.
The postpartum period can be filled with exhaustion and intense emotions. Unlike a night nurse or night nanny, your postpartum doula is there for the whole family. We want you to put up your feet and fully enjoy this time and we will take care of the rest.
Our postpartum doulas are experts in caring for older children and seeing to household duties that may be pushed aside while you snuggle your perfect new addition. Meal planning and prepping is a service that many new families want to take advantage of during this time as well. We also offer overnight care so that you can get a full nights sleep.
My KC Doula offers many packages big and small to care for each family's individual needs. Our owner Samantha Moore says, "The greatest gift you can give a new mother is a nap!" Whether it's sleep you seek or some time to yourself to heal emotionally and physically from you birth experience, we are here for you.
"Sam was such a support for me after I miscarried a baby earlier last year. She would come over and take care of my other children so I could rest. She was so good at taking my mind off everything else so I could just heal. We would talk and she would make me laugh and then she would listen while I cried. She knew how to meet the needs I needed met that I didn't even know I needed. I couldn't have gotten through that time without her."-Jessica Olsen

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source
computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was
built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision
applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the
commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it
easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code.
The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes
a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art computer
vision and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be
used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human
actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects,
extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo
cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image
of an entire scene, find similar images from an image database,
remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements,
recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented
reality, etc.

Your beach wedding reception can`t be complete without a beautiful wedding cake. The moment when you cut the cake is 'the cherry on the top' on your special day, although when it comes to beach weddings it'd rather be a parasol or an umbrella instead of a cherry. Yet, if you think that the wedding cake is just not enough to sweeten up the event, you can add some wonderful beach-themed cookies as well. Cute seashells, flip flops, seahorses or starfish shaped cookies are such a great choice and will make you guests instantly smile; moreover, such cookies are often used as wedding favors. Either for the wedding itself, or for the bridal shower, the beach-themed cookies are definitely a great choice! I was having a hard time to find my favorite ones, but here they are. Check out these wonderful ideas for beach-themed wedding cookies.

They have discovered microscopic fossils, about 3.43 billion years old, in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia, the Age reported
Until the new discovery, the oldest uncontroversial microbial fossils were 3.2 billion years old, as reported last year from South Africa by Emmanuelle Javaux of Belgium's Liege University.
''Our discovery pushes back the microbial fossil record by around 200 million years,'' said team leader David Wacey, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Western Australia in Perth.
''It was like searching for a very small needle in a very large haystack. The microfossils are minute and the Pilbara is several hundred kilometres across," he stated.
In 2006, the team concentrated on these black, carbon-rich and metal-rich sandstones and struck gold with two samples containing microstructures that resembled microfossils. In 2007, they found more examples.
For three years, the samples were subjected to state-of-the-art techniques to confirm their microfossil status.
The reason the microfossils had survived the ravages of time was that there was precious little or no free oxygen in the atmosphere 3.4 billion years ago.
This was because neither plants nor algae were present at that time to photosynthesise and produce oxygen.
''Our microfossils were sulphur-based, living off and metabolising compounds containing sulphur rather than oxygen for energy and growth,'' Dr Wacey explained.
The findings were reported in the respected British journal Nature Geoscience.

Unconventional, but Orthodox / Jewish women in the West Bank know the language of outsourcing
2006-11-17 04:00:00 PDT Modiin Illit, West Bank -- When a major property company decided to purchase a prestigious Manhattan skyscraper a couple of years ago, its managers faced the challenge of reading through the 200-page contracts of each of the building's 300 tenants before they could finalize the deal.
It was the kind of back-office paralegal work that could have taken weeks and cost a small fortune. But thanks to the initiative of a New Jersey businessman, the work was carried out in a couple of days a third of the way around the world by a dedicated team of ultra-Orthodox Jewish women, at a fraction of the cost.
This work, known as lease abstracting, is one of the mainstays of Citybook Services Ltd, a company in the ultra-Orthodox -- or "haredi" -- township of Modiin Illit on the edge of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Citybook is a flagship company in Israel's fast-growing outsourcing sector, which takes advantage of the country's large immigrant community to provide English, French, Spanish and Dutch language back-office services to companies in the United States and Europe, including paralegal and accounting work, call centers, graphic design and software development.
Salaries are 40 to 50 percent lower in Israel than in the United States, and because of the time difference -- 10 hours later in Israel than in California -- work can be commissioned at the end of the working day in America, completed overnight during Israel's daytime hours and be ready for stateside clients by morning.
IDT, a Jerusalem company, leads the outsourcing sector, with 1,000 employees operating call centers for clients around the world in a wide variety of languages.
In a 2004 survey, consulting firm AT Kearney ranked Israel as one of the top 25 most-attractive places worldwide for outsourcing. In February 2005, the Economist ranked Israel in the top 20 and in September 2005, Red Herring magazine called Jerusalem a "new hotspot" for outsourcing.
"Israel is in a unique position, due to hundreds of thousands of immigrants from around the world," said Eli Kazhdan, a former chief of staff of the Ministry of Industry and Trade who now acts as a consultant to outsourcing companies. "This is where Israel has its competitive edge. We are able to cut costs without compromising on quality."
Citybook's arrival in Modiin Illit has not only benefited its clients, it has also set off a small social revolution, providing 150 jobs for women in the impoverished ultra-Orthodox sector, in which more than half of families are below the poverty line -- about $1,000 per month for a family of four -- and many of the men are full-time students in yeshiva seminaries.
"It brings them into the workforce in a non-coercive way, very much taking into account their religious sensitivities and sensibilities," said Kazhdan. "These people would not work in a Tel Aviv high-tech company, because it just doesn't fit with their lifestyle. Citybook has created a high-tech environment, which enables these workers to go from welfare to employment without compromising religious values."
Citybook provides the women with four months of training and salaries well above the minimum wage in a work environment that respects their conservative religious values as well as their needs as working wives -- such as short working hours and a room set aside with two hospital-standard breast pumps for nursing mothers.
Two more Israeli companies have followed Citybook to Modiin Illit, creating a total of 500 jobs in a community with a population of only 22,000.
"People think that to help the haredi community you need to concentrate on welfare programs, but the key to helping them is to give them the means to support themselves," said Mayor Yaakov Guterman, who visited Citybook recently.
The fast-growing town is situated just inside the West Bank, which means it is an illegal Israeli settlement in the eyes of most of the world. But Guterman says it is built entirely on land purchased for the purpose in 1967 and its position near a major highway midway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem means it is likely to be annexed to Israel in any future peace settlement.
Joe Rosenbaum, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish businessman from Lakewood, N.J., founded Citybook three years ago as an offshoot of Madison Title, an insurance and property services company that insures $5 billion in liabilities, also based in Lakewood.
The venture has been so successful that he is planning to create an additional 40 jobs for ultra-Orthodox workers in Jerusalem.
"I had this vision with all the global outsourcing going on all over the world," said Rosenbaum. "Employees from the orthodox community have unique qualities. There's a tremendous reliability, work ethic and commitment. They are very careful not to waste time and are extremely grateful for the opportunity afforded them, so they go way beyond the call of duty."
Yocheved Katz, Citybook's office manager, said the company began "as an experiment with 12 women doing research and checking titles for Madison, and grew from there."
"The ladies in New Jersey stopped doing the research. Now they are much more available for client service and other things, which really help the company over there," said Katz.
Chaya Milgraum, a 22-year-old mother of two originally from Worcester, Mass., said she began working at Citybook two years ago because she and her husband, who was then a full-time yeshiva student, "really needed it." Now she lives right next door and the journey from home to work takes just a few minutes.
"There was a little opposition from my parents and my parents-in-law, because they're not used to the woman going out to work, only the husbands go to work," said Milgraum. "At the beginning it was hard, but then they said, 'You know what, it's good for you -- you're getting out, you're taking care of yourself, and you feel good about going out to work.'
"It was very important for me to come somewhere with a haredi environment. It's easier to get along with everybody when you're all in the same ballpark. When I was single, I worked alongside my mother in a totally mixed office, with men and with non-Jews. It was very nice, but I do enjoy working in an all-women environment."

I'm Zac Burns of Ludeme Games, and I just launched my first indie game – Chess 2: The Sequel.
Chess 2 takes all the great strategic elements of chess and expands them, while cutting out the cruft from classic chess like memorized openings, long endgames, and draws. Basically we're going back to the days before long names like "The Arkell-Khenkin Variation of the Caro-Kann Defense" got in the way of the real fun – positional play.
There are 3 simple but potent additions to Chess 2: The Sequel over classic chess.
- 6 armies to choose from makes 21 possible starting matchups. Select one that matches your playstyle, then mold the board to play to its strengths.
- Midline invasion (if you manage to cross the midline of the board, you win) makes the end of the game tense and climactic, while virtually eliminating draws.
- Dueling during captures introduces "yomi" – getting into your opponent's head.
You can play the game with a standard chess set, but with OUYA we can finally create a competitive online community of players who love the game.
So, why OUYA? Games as a medium communicate something that text, images, and video cannot (at least not efficiently). If that were not true, there would not be reason for games to exist at all… considering how much harder they are to make. Ever read the rules to a game and go "huh?", but then after playing a few minutes all the ways which the systems relate just click in your head? Something happens in our brain when we do. We understand intuitively, even if we can't explain it. That's what games are.
It follows one will never know if they will love a game before trying it. It's one thing to read on Kotaku that Chess 2 is "More like Chess than Chess", but what does that even mean? To really understand the wealth of meaningful choice every game (every move, even) that Chess 2: The Sequel offers, there's no substitute for trying it for yourself. That's what makes OUYA a great fit for Chess 2. Having every game free to try means every OUYA player sits down in the mood to hit that "Free Download" button. I know, because I've done it a hundred times myself.
This is only the beginning for Chess 2. There are a lot of features and even some surprises planned for the future. Vote for the next feature here.
Chess 2 wasn't just the game I wanted to make, it's the game I want to play. So, if you're looking to challenge the dev you can find me playing online most days around 5:30 PST (and maybe even a few more times throughout the evening). See you across the board.

Sunscreen Soap 10 SPF
No one wants skin cancer. But if lighter-skinned people avoid the sun, there's vitamin D deficiency. What to do? There's inspection: a mnemonic—ABCDE—for the five guidelines used to evaluate whether a pigmentation variation is a mole or a menace we must have checked.
Assymmetricality Border variations Color (uneven in shade or tone) Diameter (over six mm) and whether or not it's 'Evolving' (nice euphemism on that one—'If you can see it grow, let them know.')
It's never occurred to me to use a tanning bed, one of the most fundamentally ironic fashion devices imaginable in a fundamentally racist society. Then again, human culture appears to inevitably contain prejudice; it's just a matter of whom, based on which characteristics, at what time. As Caucasian North American residents pay money to expose themselves to unhealthy UVA radiation, others all over the globe adhere to colonial standards by shelling out for skin lighteners. The mind boggles.
Fortunately, some things are simpler: in addition to inspection, there's prevention. If you have pale skin, avoid skin cancer by staying out of tanning booths, out of the sun, and using sunscreen. A convenient sunscreen product is now manufactured by Bethesda. Their soap contains aloe vera, chlorophyll, healing balm of Gilead (any reference to 'Gilead' always reminds me Offred's subversive 'Bomb in Gilead' conversation in The Handmaid's Tale), and glycerin. Initial use indicates that it is non-sudsing and lightly scented. Bethesda also intends to offer mineral veil, oatmeal, multi-vitamin, rosemary, carrot, and fragrant vanilla soaps. Watch their site, and watch those moles.

Yamaha Outdoors Tips — Four-Wheeler or Side-by-Side?
By Bob Humphrey
You've saved your pennies and you're finally ready to get that ATV you've always wanted. But in the time it took you to save, something new came along making the choice much more difficult. What's it gonna be?
You have two basic choices. The Four-Wheeler, sometimes alternately referred to as a Quad or ATV, is a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle with a single-rider, saddle style seat behind the gas tank and handle-bar steering, throttle and braking.
The Side-by-Side (SxS) is a dual-passenger ATV with conventional bucket or bench seats, steering wheel and foot pedal brakes and accelerator. Both are ATVs (all-terrain vehicles), but Yamaha prefers to assign the term "ATV" solely to four-wheelers like the Grizzly and Big Bear, and "Side-by-Side" to the Rhino.
Deciding which is best for you may depend largely on your specific needs or intended application. There are two major differences between the two. The SxS is a two-passenger ATV with a cargo bed. The Four-Wheeler is intended as a one-passenger vehicle and while it does have front and rear racks, they're designed for carrying smaller amounts of gear.
If you're looking for a vehicle to get just you out to those hard-to-reach places, carry enough gear for yourself and still be able to haul your deer back out, a Four-Wheeler is a great choice. If, however, you plan on riding "two-up," you should consider the SxS. The latter is also a better choice if you're going to be putting in food plots and need to haul lime, fertilizer and seed; or if you'll be after bigger game like elk, moose and bear.
You may also want to consider secondary uses. The SxS is a bit more utilitarian, and a better choice if you're going to be building food plots or doing a lot of ground work. You may opt for the Four-Wheeler if you do a lot of recreational riding. It should be noted however that the Rhino offers a comfortable ride for two, and you can haul everyone else's picnic or camping gear.
The more you look the more you realize that both options are quite similar. It may ultimately boil down to personal preference. If, in the end, you're still having trouble deciding, you can always get one of each.

I have been wanting a Wii Fit for months now. My father in law Jim got me one for Christmas and I have been sooo excited to try it out. Well, our Wii broke and its under warentee so we will be getting a new one any day now. Meanwhile, We got 7 new games and have not been able to play with any of them. So we borrowed a Wii from Katey's friend and have been having a blast. Everyone LOVES the Wii Fit. Chris and I have been working out every night, and I am actually down 2Lbs. Whoo Hooo. That being said... Im about ready to smack that Wii Fit Biotch. First of all when you set your Mii up, it puts your weight and BMI right out there where everyone can see, PLUS it makes your Mii Fat or Skinny debending on how you are, so I have a Fat Mii. But the worst part is when you step on the board it will either say Okay, or she will groan at you. When Chris steps on it, she usually says Okay, but everytime I step on it, she groans. Everytime she does it I call her a bitch and get irritated at her. Well, Brandon's been playing on it all day and she groaned when he steped on it and he groaned back and called her a jerk. I started cracking up laughing. At least I am not the only one ready to smack her. Speaking of Brandon, I can not believe how much this boy enjoys working out. He is all about being fit. He loves to do push ups and crunches and really enjoys doing all the strength training, and Yoga stuff. He's gonna be my running buddy come the spring. My Gazelle will be here on Monday and thats what I plan on using all winter, but come spring, Bran and I are gonna start jogging so we can do a 5K run together. I cant wait.
Ok, Im off to go Wii Fit some more.
Lots of Love,

More on the magical seahorse on this video from the California Academy of Science, with Healy Hamilton discussing the dramatic decline of seahorses all over the world.
The huge economic boom in China means even more trouble for seahorse populations, as seahorses are highly sought after for use in traditional Chinese medicines.
US Customs at the San Francisco airport recently confiscated a shipment of at least 1,000 seahorses, and the US Fish and Wildlife turned over the dried seahorses to the California Academy of Sciences to help determine their source.
All species of seahorses are internationally protected and no one is supposed to be harvesting seahorses…but the problem of course…..is enforcement.
INTRODUCTION: The destruction of coral reefs, trawling and the use of seahorses in Chinese medicine is leading to their decline. How do we stop this near-mythical sea creature from becoming extinct? "Wired" interviews Academy researcher, Healy Hamilton, to discuss this unique fish and the dangers that threaten them.
Also…here again is the link to Alex Pronove's blog and his informative post on sea dragons (and seahorses) and the supply chain and market. Click here – or click on his photo below.
Don't forget…the Seahorse Exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium will be closing this summer. Click here for more information.

I am an Australian, but I have been living in Japan since 1986. I started making knives in 1993. At first, I made hunting-style knives but soon began making art knives. The transition from hunting knives to art knives was made easier by my background as a jeweler and my obsession with fine detail, which is sometimes a curse.
Since 1999 I have been making side-lock folding knives almost exclusively, though I do make some fixed blade art knives. Also I make some tactical knives to my own design, combining my many years of experience in the art of JuJutsu and as a knife maker. I started to learn JuJutsu in 1959 when I was six years old. My father was my JuJutsu teacher, so my brothers, sister and myself couldn't escape from learning. It was just the natural thing for us to do. I teach JuJutsu here in Japan. I also teach English conversation and make knives.
I do all of my own work except for the heat treating of some special steals like, ATS-34, ZDP-189 and Cowry X.
My work has been published in:

Irving, Texas (PRWEB) June 25, 2012
India has experienced a steady GDP growth rate of 8% during the last five years. The subcontinent's economy is expected to continue its growth momentum over the next five years. Strong domestic demand and a burgeoning middle class are expected to continue driving the Indian economy to new heights during the forecast period of 2012-2017.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, performed a Political, Economical, Sociological, Technological, Legal, and Environmental(PESTLE) analysis of India,and presents its findings in "PESTLE Analysis of India 2012."
India is the second-most populous country in world, and its large reserve of human capital is crucial to the nation's economic development. Itsgrowing, technically skilled work force draws international players to locate facilities there. The service sector is the major contributor to Indian GDP and the leading driver for economic growth. Industries in the service sector, including information technology, telecommunication, and retail, aremajor segments that contribute to India's economic expansion.
Lucintel's report indicates that although the inflation and unemployment rates, which are both higher than planned,remain major challenges for Indian economy. The expanding middle class in India's urban area is likely to help fuel India'sfuture economicgrowth. Political cohesion and economic reform program by successive governments,such as the opening of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)to more industries,are expected to offer growth opportunities.
One major threat to the Indian economy is political instability. The economy has huge potential, but a certain level of political uncertaintyhampers growth. National elections are scheduled in 2013-2014. After a new government is installed, more economic reforms are likely to be instituted.
Lucintel's study, which provides a concise overview of the PESTLE analysis of India,outlines that friendly relationships with major developed countries such as the US and those in Europe, along with its neighboring countries including China and Pakistan, is likely to further boost international trade of the country.
The report also provides a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis and an examination of thepast, present, and future economic policies of India.
For a detailed table of contents and pricing information on this timely, insightful report, contact Lucintel at +1-972-636-5056 or via email at helpdesk(at)lucintel(dot)com.

The Great Betrayal by Nick Kyme – Book Review [Shadowhawk]
Shadowhawk reviews the first novel in the new War of Vengeance trilogy for the Time of Legends meta-series.
"This is quite possibly Nick's best work to date, better than even Nocturne perhaps. The only way to decide might be a novel deathmatch." ~The Founding Fields
I make no secret of the fact that I really enjoy Nick's work, and that I hold his Tome of Fire trilogy to be some of the best Warhammer 40k fiction put out by Black Library in recent years. My first introduction to his work, the Warhammer Fantasy novel Oathbreaker, was a highly negative experience but most of the other stuff he's written since then (that I've read) has impressed me. With The Great Betrayal, Nick has continued his streak of successes, and I am now a huge fan of the Warhammer variety of Dwarfs. In this novel, he has done a great job in exploring their culture, their society, their history, and their attitudes. Barring some odd stuff here and there, I could not have asked for a better novel to kickstart the long-awaited War of Vengeance trilogy, which is going to be complemented by Chris Wraight's War of the Beard trilogy, which will tell of the great war between the Dwarfs and the High Elves from the latter's perspective.
The central drive for this war between two of the elder races of the Warhammer world is that Malekith, formerly a great High Elf prince and now the bitter ruler of the Dark Elves, wants to destroy his former people completely. And to do this, he begins by staging false attacks by the Elves on Dwarf merchantmen, patrols, holds and villages. He uses his extensive knowledge of the Dwarfs and their empire, gained when he first came to their lands ages ago and befriended their High King, and the result is utter mayhem and confusion. The entire event is one of the greatest tragedies in Warhammer history, a tragedy compounded by ignorance, ego, recklessness, and pride.
Participating in the entire debacle are Dwarfs from all levels of their society. One of the most central characters is Prince Snorri, son of High King Gotrek Starbreaker. The Prince is a man who is always in his father's shadow, the Dwarf hero who crippled the Orcs and has led his people into a golden age of peace and prosperity. Snorri wants to prove himself as great a warrior as his father, but such a thing is impossible in times of peace, at a time when the Dwarfs are very much at the peak of their power. Initially Snorri seemed to be a mostly average character, but as Malekith's treachery unfolds through his various agents, he grows into a very complex character. He straddles a very fine line between war and peace, a fulcrum balancing those who want vengeance on the Elves and those who want to prevent an all-out and destructive war that could cripple the Dwarf race for ages. For me, he was at his best when he was compassionate and friendly, whether with his cousin Morgrim or the High Priestess of Valaya, Elmendrin. When Snorri made snap decisions to incite war with the Elves, he was irritating, because I wanted to reach out through the pages and give him a good shake and tell him that he was being manipulated like a fool. Alas, watching the train wreck was a bit of fun too, so I'm not really complaining.
As the two level-headed Dwarfs who wish to prevent the war and keep peace with the Elves, Gotrek Starbreaker and Morgrim, were characters I really enjoyed. As the entire narrative unfolds, they turn into really strong characters, and their diplomatic approach to the whole affair was almost heartbreaking to see. See, the thing is that we know the war is going to happen. It's already in the Warhammer lore built up over the last 30+ years, so there are no surprises there in that regard. The beauty of the novel is in seeing how it all came about, how it began, and how it was almost prevented. Both Gotrek and Morgrim are foils for Snorri and his supporters in that regard, and their efforts are only to be appreciated. When it comes to it, they will fight for the honour of their people, but they would rather that such an event never come to pass. As the wise old ruler with a headstrong son, Gotrek is initially stubborn and highly critical himself, but in the later chapters he does mellow out and eventually realises his mistakes. When that particular dam breaks, the narrative reaches one of it's high-points, one of the best scenes in the entire novel. With Morgrim, I would make the comparison that he is very much like Faramir from The Lord of The Rings, with a dash of Aragorn and Gimli both thrown in for good measure. His was a standout character, one of the best written in the entire book. If there's any criticism of the book with regards to him, it is that he gets far too few scenes. All for the best though, since he is going to be a major player in the sequel.
There are several other characters that deserve a mention here. Gotrek's senior-most Runelord, Ranuld Silverthumb is one. Heglan Copperfist, an engineer of the Barak Varr sea-hold who creates the first Dwaf flying ship is another. Rundin Torbansonn, a champion of the Skarrenawi, the Hill Dwarfs, is yet another. Each character, whether major or minor, brought something to the story, and added a new dimension to the ongoing story. The narrative is, in many respects, quite fragmentary since there are several parallel narratives going on at the same time. It makes for some rather disjointed reading but the disadvantage is outdone by the advantage of seeing such a huge cross-section of Dwarf society, from mighty kings down to the simplest soldiers, great engineers to traders. The entire novel is a huge setup for what is to come, but at no point does it feel like an incomplete book, or one that is rushed.
Of course, there are quite a few Elven characters here too. The most notable among these are: Caledor II, Phoenix King; Imladrik, Caledor's brother and the "Master of Dragons"; Liandra, Imladrik's former lover and a princess of her people. Each of these three represented an important facet of Elven society within the novel. Caledor is the arrogant and vainglorious feel who would rather hunt on his estates than deal with the "mud-dwellers" and their petty concerns, but will gladly go to war to prove his people's superiority. Imladrik is the honourable one who wants to avoid the war, but will ultimately acquiesce to the wishes of his King, quite unlike Morgrim (his counterpart) who always speaks plainly and speaks the harsh truths. Liandra is a supremacist, who believes in the superiority of her people just as Caledor does, but is far more tied to the Elven colonies on the continent than to either of the other two. One of the low-points of the novel was that we get to see very little of any of these three characters, as more page-time for them would have done wonders. The consideration to keep in mind though, is that Chris is going to be handling pretty much all of the other side of the conflict, so seeing things from a primarily Dwarf point of view is right on the money, and it makes sense. After all, if two writers were writing all these different characters at the same time, it would prove to be a confusing mess no doubt, and probably involve constant checking that they are both doing the characters "right".
Finally, to round off all the notes on the characters, are the Druchii, the Dark Elves, carrying out Malekith's orders. There aren't many of them to be honest, which is great since the book is already featuring a ton of characters, but what few there are make a strong impression on the narrative, since they are the instigators of it all. Although, I do have to say that I didn't particularly care for the Shades, especially their leader Sevekai. His characterisation seemed to be odd at best, since he switched from efficient killer and strong leader to someone who would jump at shadows and show little initiative until forced to do something, whether by the Sorceress Drutheira or fellow Shade Kaitar. I just couldn't take him as seriously as I wanted to. Thankfully, we see little of him in the novel. Drutheira however, well, there's a conniving character if there ever was one, and certainly someone who is likable while being the opposite at the same time, given some of the things she does, such as having the entire crew of a ship murdered so she can regenerate her magical powers. Cold and ruthless, reminds me of Dan Abnett/Mike Lee's Malus Darkblade.
Of course, this is a Time of Legends novel, so it is expected that there will be some great battles here, and being a Dwarf novel, also that we get to explore their culture. The set piece battles in the novel are actually not that many, but what few there are do leave a lasting impression. The novel starts off with a prologue which introduces both the High Elves and the Dwarfs at the time of Malekith and Snorri Whitebeard's friendship, as they battle one of the greatest Chaos hordes to come from the North. Mighty Dwarf throngs of infantry and great dragonflights of Ulthuan clash with daemons of all stripes who call the gods Tzeentch and Nurgle their master. The prologue is overlong, but it shows one of the best "epic" battles I've read in fantasy, and I loved both the bird's eye view of the whole affair, as well as the ground-level descriptions of massed cavalry charges and infantry defense. There is a great siege sequence in the latter third of the novel, which served to show off in great detail the Dwarf way of war, a case of what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force, if I may be a bit dramatic here. The siege is also where several characters such as Nadri Guildtongue (a merchant guildmaster from Barak Varr), and Snorri, and Morgrim really get to shine, which made it into a far more important battle than anything else.
As far as the Dwarf culture is concerned, other than everything I've already mentioned, one thing I really loved was that a lot of times Nick uses Khazalid words. Khazalid is the Dwarf tongue, and its extensive usage in the novel adds a good layer of complexity to the narrative. It added to my enjoyment since it gave the novel a very distinctive Dwarf feel, even though at times some of the words I didn't understand directly, and had to use the glossary at the back. If the novel hadn't been so good on the pacing, this might have rankled, but thankfully that wasn't the case here.
And the Dwarf "men" weren't all that we saw either. We got to see some Dwarf women, particularly Elmendrin and her fellow priestesses of Valaya. They feature in short cameos, so the exposure isn't all that much, but it helps to break the monotony of reading about all the male Dwarfs all the time. And the relationship between Snorri and his father is shaped quite a bit by the death of his mother, an angle that Nick Kyme builds towards throughout the book, culminating in that emotional scene between Snorri and Gotrek I alluded to up above.
My main criticism of the novel is that Imladrik, the only really sympathetic High Elf character here, makes a bare minimum effort at sharing with Gotrek Starbreaker the knowledge of how the Elven people are a divided race now, thanks to Malekith. It is a very important fact and I expected this to be a big deal, but that wasn't how it was unfortunately. It is one of those things that might have served to prevent the coming war, but Elven obstinacy and reluctance are what rule the day.
As an introduction to a new Time of Legends trilogy, The Great Betrayal works far better than I expected. After reading C. L. Werner's Dead Winter last year, I wasn't sure if any other Time of Legends could come close to that particular level of excellence, but The Great Betrayal comes close. It is very much on the same level as other first novels I've enjoyed reading in this meta-series: Heldehnammer by Graham McNeill, the first Sigmar novel, and Malekith by Gav Thorpe, the first Sundering novel.
It will be a while before the sequel comes out, since Chris Wraight's "complementary" book is next in line for the release, but I'm definitely amped up for it. The only way to go for Nick after this novel is up, as far as I'm concerned, and I have faith in him to do justice to the material he is expanding upon, the characters he is handling here. I actually have a mind to go read Oathbreaker all over again, and see how far Nick has come from those days. We shall see.
In the meantime, go get this novel. I recommend it highly.
Rating: 9/10

Florida Man Posted Threat To Shoot Up Disney World On Facebook
A Florida man was arrested after he posted a threat to a Facebook group that he would go on a mass shooting at Walt Disney World and then kill himself. According to the police report, the post read: "5 likes and I'll go shoot up Disney and hang myself." 23-year-old Derek Eitel admitted to police that he wrote the post from his phone while he was at work.
The unnamed group has over 800 members who could all see his post. Two members of the group saw what Eitel wrote and immediately contacted law enforcement.
Police charged Eitel with making written threats to kill or do bodily harm. They did not say whether he owned any guns or if he planned on actually following through with his threat. He was being held at the Brevard County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

My Story
I started making cards with Operation Write Home. I knew this project added special times to the families and friends that received them. As much as I loved making these cards; I love the memories they created. Stampin Up products are a huge part of making memories. Wheather it is a card for OWH, or a birthday card for a friend, Stampin Up makes it special.
It is no surprise, that I would want to teach others how to keep memories alive. Sharing and caring; the Stampin Up way.

There are only a few species of cowrie shell that live off the West African coast, and as pointed out by Johnson almost fifty years ago they don't look anything like the two species which have been most used, namely annulus and moneta. In the image below, from archaeological work by colleagues in Ghana, the two West African cowries, second row left, stand out by their size and shape. They would also stand out by their colour if they hadn't lain buried in the archaeological record for a period of time.
So that one is relatively easy to figure out. One other, troublesome, question is what the relative popularity of annulus versus moneta (ring versus money) cowries might be able to tell us about date. One of the wild dreams of all archaeologists is to identify a specific artefact or type of remain which immediately gives an idea of a site's age, without having to resort to expensive radiocarbon dating. Imports such as glassware, pottery and cowries figure amongst such objects.
The specific story about cowries in West Africa is that it is usually assumed that moneta arrived earlier, annulus only once the Europeans got onto the game in the sixteenth century. The collections here in Accra, like those we saw in Dakar, have an important story to tell about this. So this is what the next days will be devoted to, as well as conference attendance!

New IP65 Compression Latch/lock From FDB Panel Fittings
- Details
- Published: Thursday, 05 January 2017 11:32
The new Dirak 6-500 compression latch from FDB Panel Fittings is a novel cylinder lock design to IP65 which makes light work of gasket clamping over the extended range of 20mm.
This makes it ideal for large doors with soft gaskets. It is also vibration resistant, so, in addition to public access areas, it is suited to transport or other vibration prone environments such as gensets.
The 6-500 is installed with through door fixings with no protruding handle or knob, and may be fitted with an external protective lock cover. It is particularly suited to rod locking systems where it may also be used in a horizontal orientation.

Ok so I've finally gotten that demo up on IndieDB. It includes 25 levels + 2 unlockable levels. These represent the early levels of the game where the controls and basic mechanics are introduced to the player, so there's nothing too complicated or difficult here. Graphics and sound are not in their final form, and the menus are just placeholder for the moment.
Xbox360 pad Controls:
movement - left stick
run - right trigger
jump - A
roll - B

keyboard controls aren't bindable at the moment.
Here's the link to go download it.
Also I made a quick little video showing a few levels being played. Nothing fancy just some raw gameplay footage. It's a little bit laggy cause fraps was being a bit dickish (it's really time I get that ssd) but you get the idea.

Peter has also been at work on a film entitled "The Bay of Love and Sorrows" based on the book by David Adams Richards. Peter plays the role of Everette Hutch, the film is scheduled to do the festival circuit and then will probably be released to theatres in the summer/fall.
In early December, Peter flew to Costa Rica to work on the T.V. movie, "100 Days in the Jungle" directed by Sterla Gunnarsson. It's based on a true story about a group of Canadian oil workers who were kidnapped and held for ransom in the Ecuadorian jungle. Peter plays one of the negotiators, sort of like the Russell Crowe character in "Proof of Life".
"Men With Brooms" was released to Canadian theatres on March 8th. The Canadian comedy made an impressive box-office debut. Released on 207 screens across Canada, "Men with Brooms" grossed $1.04 million, for a per-screen average of $5,024. Meanwhile Peter's M.O.W. "The Rendering" opposite Shannon Doherty aired in February and should be available on video later this spring.
Peter was nominated for a Genie award (Canada's Oscars). He was up for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for: Marine Life". At the awards show on February 7th, which Peter did not attend, the award went to Brendan Fletcher.
Peter is now back in L.A. for "pilot season" with his wife Tammy. They have recently added a member to their family: an Australian Blue Heeler puppy called "Pepper". Peter will most likely be back in Toronto this summer to film a second "Chasing Cain" television movie for the C.B.C. (Thanks as always to my #1 source, Jonathan)
September 25, 2001
It's confirmed that Peter is playing a supporting role in the CBC mini-series "Trudeau" directed by Jerry Ciccoritti (Paris France, Chasing Cain). The project shoots in Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. In addition to that, Peter is also starting work on a new Canadian independent feature film entitled "The Bay of Love and Sorrows" in which he plays the lead role. Shooting for that film will take place in Moncton, New Brunswick. Both projects are expected to be wrapped up by mid-November.
August 28, 2001
Peter's next MOW is called "The Rendering" and it is for Lifetime network in the U.S. He just started shooting today in Montreal and will be there until mid September. He plays a killer opposite Shannon Doherty of 90210 fame. Peter's wife Tammy also has a small role in the project.
Peter is also rumoured to be attached to the CBC mini-series "Trudeau" being directed by Jerry Cicorritti. Colm Fiore plays Pierre Trudeau, Peter would play one of his key advisors. However, keep in mind that this has yet to be confirmed!
(Special thanks to Jonathan for the news!)

I know, it's been WAY too long since I've updated! Been busy, busy, busy! Anyway, I've broken the gallery into 3 separate parts and added 24 new pictures, and there's more to come! I completely re-designed the Articles & Interviews section and added many new articles. As you can see, I finally updated the VCR Alerts (sorry!). I started a Multimedia page where you can listen to a piece of Peter singing "I'm Not a Fucking Drag Queen" (Better Than Chocolate). I'm working on the Movie Reviews and Credit pages now. I'll also be adding movie trailers to the Multimedia page and a few more links to the Links page.
April 9, 2001
I've added a new Peter interview/article to the Articles & Interviews section. There is also a new link to a Chasing Cain site in the Links section
April 8, 2001
Now that Spring Break has arrived, I'm taking some time to update my page. So sorry I haven't been doing so recently! Peter's next film is entitled "Men with Brooms". Click here to see information on the film.
I've added a few things to Articles & Interviews.
More to Come!
An update on the 'Outer Limits' episode: Sci-Fi Channel's website reports that Sherilyn Fenn appears in an episode entitled "Replica," playing a scientist who volunteers to be cloned, with disastrous results. There is no mention of Peter and this plot line differs
very slightly from the one rumored earlier, but it's still likely to be the same one.
I guess we'll just have to see. It is set to air June 22 on the Sci-Fi channel.
February 28, 2001
Peter has been hired to appear for his third guest starring role on the series "The Outer Limits". He begins shooting in early March, no word on episode title or character name. The episode co-stars Sherilyn Fenn, who plays his dying wife whom he clones (a process Peter invents that allows clones to rapidly develop to the same age as their original) in order to replace his soon to be dead spouse. Only problem, the wife miraculously recovers and both her and her clone want the other woman killed to ensure they are the only one. Quite a plot, huh?
Peter will be back in Toronto in early May to reprise his role as Detective Bob Kozlowski in a second "Chasing Cain" MOW for CBC. The first Cain MOW will air on the CBC in early April and is currently in post-production.
January 26, 2001
Ok, lots of new updates. I've added a new picture to the Gallery as well as some articles and interviews including a link to the new interview from Northern Stars Magazine. I have added a new Contact Peter section with e-mail and mailing addresses. The Biography section has also been updated.
December 27, 2000
I know I've been slacking, guys, but I'm back to update my page. I'll be adding new pics, interviews, reviews, and more. As for Peter, his next film entitled "Chasing Cain" is currently in production. It was is due to air on CBC this winter, but no date has yet been set. The following is a description of the film (courtesy of Salter Street Films):
"Inspired by real life homicide cases, CHASING CAIN focuses on a murder and the ensuing investigation in one of the world's most complex and ethnically diverse cities. Producer Bernard Zukerman and writer Andrew Berzins spent months with detectives of a real-life homicide squad.
The drive-by shooting of a doctor and a woman who work at an abortion clinic leads Detectives Kazlowski and McGoogan to a suspect with ties to the pro-life movement. A sudden turn of events and a suicide attempt by the dead woman's husband lead the detectives into an impenetrable world of politics and prejudices.
CHASING CAIN is the first in a planned series of movies which follows Detective Kazlowski, a veteran of the homicide squad, and Detective McGoogan, recently promoted from the morality squad.
Directed by Jerry Ciccoritti (Net Worth, The Life Before This), and written by Andrew Berzins, CHASING CAIN is co-produced by Bernard Zukerman (Love and Hate, Million Dollar Babies, Net Worth, Heart: The Marilyn Bell Story) and Salter Street Films."
July 12, 2000
Be sure to watch "Out of Sync" tonight at 9/8c on VH1. Peter plays the role of Roger Deacon ("Deke"), a down-on-his-luck record producer who discovers a housewife with a golden voice and decides to apply her skills to a talent-challenged singer he's managing. Watch out for VH1 Music_News which is currently showing a piece on the film including a lengthy interview with Mr. Outerbridge himself. VH1 is also currently showing a short video entitled "Desperate Measures" that features clips and a song from the film. I've seen these previews and Peter has the LEAD role in the film (although he doesn't get credit for it)!! And it looks like he gets a lot of "action" in this one, so don't miss it ;-)
July 10, 2000
I've added 4 new Peter pics from 'Out of Sync' to the photo gallery. To see more pics from the film and some video clips, check out the VH1 website for the film.
March 22, 2000
I've been informed that Peter will be getting married soon. There aren't any further details at this time. Also, Peter is filming a movie entitled "Out of Sync" in Toronto. Click here to see the press release.
March 10, 2000
"Mission to Mars" opens in theaters nationwide. The film has Peter in a smaller role, and it looks like his character isn't going to live beyond the first 20 minutes. Sorry. But it's still worth seeing Mr. Outerbridge in a big, Hollywood flick. The film also stars Don Cheadle, Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, and Jerry O'Connell

Jurors don't explain reasoning behind verdict in terror trial
A jury has acquitted a Chicago man of helping plan the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India that claimed at least 164 lives. But his attorneys are vowing to fight the two counts on which he was found guilty, including helping a terrorist organization. The split verdict caused some confusion about how the jury reached its decision.
Tahawwur Rana's jury will remain anonymous. That's pretty rare. After the verdict, jurors weren't seen. They left court through a back way out of the media's eye. They convicted Rana of helping a Pakistan-based terrorist group and of helping plan an attack against a Danish newspaper that never happened. But they acquitted him of the most serious charge: helping his friend plot the Mumbai attacks which rocked India's largest city.
Rana's defense attorney, Patrick Blegen, didn't have an answer for how the jury reached its conclusions.
"It's always difficult when you have separate charges that are tried together because you're always worried that something is going to spill over onto another count or that the jury just decided to split the baby in half, as they say," Blegen told reporters after the verdict.
The not guilty verdict could've been because the defense argued Rana wanted to take a trip to Mumbai with his wife right around the time of the 2008 attacks. Or it could've been because Rana was warned not to go to Mumbai. Defense attorneys asked why would he need to be warned if he were involved in the plot.
As for the guilty verdicts, maybe the jurors were persuaded by the fake business cards Rana made for his friend, David Headley, so Headley could pretend to put an ad in a Danish newspaper he said he was planning to attack. Or maybe it was the secretly-recorded conversation between Rana and Headley in which the two discussed potential attacks and mentioned Denmark.
A room was set up for jurors to talk to reporters, but none of the jury members showed up. Federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald made it simple: prosecutors failed to prove Rana knew about the Mumbai plot before it happened.
"I'm not disappointed overall," Fitzgerald said. "I'm disappointed in one charge being an acquittal but very gratified overall because the other two charges were very serious."
Fitzgerald said investigators prevented one attack from happening: the Danish newspaper attack, but also many more. He said they did that by arresting David Headley, Rana's friend, and flipping him. Headley testified against Rana and told the FBI about dozens of other potential plots.
"We would be crazy if we would sit around and say, 'You know what? It's all about Mr. Headley. And all we want to do is put him in jail and sit around and let attacks happen,'" Fitzgerald said.
Rana's defense attorneys say Headley got a sweetheart deal from prosecutors. By testifying against Rana, Headley is avoiding the death penalty and extradition to India. Fitzgerald said Headley's not going anywhere for quite a while and the investigation into these plots is ongoing. That's because six other people were indicted with Rana, but they aren't thought to be in U.S. custody. One of them, Ilyas Kashmiri, was reportedly killed in a drone attack last week, but the U.S. government has not confirmed that.
As for Rana, he sat expressionless as the judge read the verdicts. His attorney, Charles Swift, said there was more behind that blank face.
"I think he's in shock," Swift said.
Swift said an appeal of the two convictions is likely. Rana's other attorney, Patrick Blegen, hinted at the possible strategy. He told reporters the split decision may suggest the verdicts contradict each other. But Patrick Fitzgerald seemed to downplay that angle.
"Jurors don't have to be entirely consistent, but I don't see an inconsistency here," Fitzgerald said.
Rana will be sentenced in a few months. Of the two guilty counts, each carries a maximum of 15 years in prison. Defense attorneys and prosecutors will likely argue whether the 50-year-old Rana will serve those 15 years at the same time or back-to-back for a total of 30.
