BAKER & McKenzie is increasing its presence in the Middle East by opening an office in Bahrain.
It will be the first firm to have operations in the two main financial centres of the Gulf region – Manama in Bahrain and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
The new office will be headed by John Xefos, currently managing partner of the Riyadh office. Xefos will be assisted by English banking partner Ian Siddell and two US banking lawyers.
"Bahrain represents significant potential for Baker & McKenzie, especially in the core practice areas of banking and finance," says partner Nigel Carrington, chairman of the firm's Europe-Middle East Regional Council.
Baker & McKenzie already has established clients in the region, including ANZ Grindlays, the Chase and National Bank of Bahrain and the Gulf International Bank.
"We've seen strong growth in the Gulf region," says Carrington.
"Each year, more and more foreign-owned and domestic companies are establishing operations here."
At present, Norton Rose is believed to be the only English practice with an office in Bahrain.
Clifford Chance terminated its association with Bahrain two years ago when the City-based firm refocused its Middle Eastern operation around Dubai.
Baker & McKenzie says there is room for a practice offering sophisticated financial advice to Bahrain's commercial and investment banks, of which there are more than 70.
The firm now has 60 offices in 35 countries, including 24 offices in its Europe-Middle East region, which account for one-third of its £443m global revenue.

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has described teammate Mesut Ozil as one of the best players in the world.
Xhaka only linked up with Arsenal and Ozil during the summer but he has already been impressed with the German playmaker, who has scored seven times in 17 appearances for the Gunners this season.
The 24-year-old told Bild: "Mesut has a quality that I personally have never experienced before.
"He has an absolute magic left foot, is fast – even if it does not look like that sometimes and he is one of the best in the world."
Xhaka cost Arsenal a fee of £35m in the summer - just £7.5m short of what the North London outfit paid for Ozil in 2013.

My husband and I are taking out my Italian cousin and her husband for dinner this week. No steakhouses (doing Luger's next week) or Italian restaurants. I'd like to find a place with entrees priced between $20 and $40 if possible. These people eat well but have no pretense. A nice atmosphere conducive to talking is all we need. And of course, good food and good value.
Anywhere in Manhattan is fine.
Am I searching for the impossible?

Herbert Smith has advised long time client EDF Energy on its application to the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) for development consent to construct and operate a 3.2GW nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset.
The application was submitted on 31 October under the Planning Act 2008. The application will now be examined by the IPC, which is expected to take a year to make its decision. Once operational, the Somerset power station would provide around 6 per cent of the UK's electricity.
The Herbert Smith team, which advised EDF on all the legal issues surrounding the application, was led by partner Matthew White. Planning partner Clare Fielding, corporate partner Julia Pyke and public law partner Nusrat Zar also advised. Senior associate Catherine Howard was seconded to EDF during the application process
Herbert Smith has been advising EDF on its nuclear plans since 2006. The Hinkley Point project will be the first new nuclear site to be developed in the UK.
In a statement, White said: "It's been a phenomenal team effort over a number of years by EDF Energy to prepare an application of this complexity. We've advised on several unprecedented legal issues in dealing with the new and untested national planning regime for projects of this size. The IPC's acceptance of the application is therefore a major milestone for the future of nuclear energy in the UK."
Herbert Smith also helped EDF secure the first consent to be granted by the UPC under section 53 of the 2008 Act to allow compulsory access to land, so that surveys could be carried out.
The firm is also advising EDF on its applications for consent from West Somerset Council and the Marine Management Organisation for preliminary works on the Hinkley site, as well as in negotiating a planning agreement for the first stages of the project.

Starting a Mcdonald franchisewhich is a foremost global fast food chain, offers some exciting prospects for those seeking to partnership as a franchisee and invest in the business. It now as been the destination of choice for all who desire meals, which are affordable and qualitative, on the go.
The following are historical shots that may help in owning a Mcdonald Fast food chain:
• The first McDonalds restaurant was operated by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. In 1954 Ray Kroc visited the eatery and was so amazed by the efficiency and effectiveness of their operation that he proposed the establishment of McDonalds restaurants all over the US. At last, he went on to become the owner of the Macdonald business, after he paid a considerable sum for the brand.
• By 1958 McDonalds had served 100 million hamburgers to hungry customers.
• 69 million customers are served on a daily basis.
• At the moment, there are 36,258 McDonalds restaurants in 119 countries, out of which 29,544 are operated as a franchise.
• Some 350 McDonalds restaurants have been closed down so far this year, due to business violations. Majority of these shut branches are in the US and China.
• 32% of the groups total annual revenue comes from the US
• 40% of the groups total revenue comes from Europe – mostly from the UK, France, Russia and Germany.
• 23% of total revenue comes from Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
• US sales depreciated by 2.1% to $27.4bn (£17bn) in 2014.
• The number of customer visits, on a daily basis, declined by more than 4% in the US in 2014.
• McDonald's has 420,000 employees on its payroll.
• Over 80,000 people have graduated from McDonalds Hamburger University training facility, located on outskirts of Chicago, since its inception.
• McDonald's has resolved to pay $9.90 an hour to its staff after months of protest over poor remuneration. The current hourly wage is $9.01.
McDonald's franchise has helped a lot of entrepreneurs around the globe. They create a system that is so easy for any gifted entrepreneur to run with.
Becoming a franchisee with McDonald's opens the door to be in charge of a franchise business , whose brand and work ethic have come to be trusted over the years, by millions of customers worldwide.
Franchising is by no means a stroll in the park. Building and leading a team 70+ employees as well as administering a thriving business will demand time, investment and determination.
The steps and requirements it takes to getting franchisee license with Mcdonald is a thorough and extensive exercise, usually spanning about nine months, from when one's application is adjudged successful. The steps include:
McDonald Application Process
The process is kick started with interested individuals and business concerns sending in an application. At this stage it is imperative that applicants have all required documentation and information, which includes bank and financial statements, franchise disclosure document mcdonalds, references amongst others.
Security and background checks
Mcdonald will act on submitted personal and business information, to ascertain the authenticity of such data, as well as to determine that applicants are legally able to run a franchise of Mcdonald.
A first Interview
Shortlisted applicants from the first screening exercise are usually interviewed by a panel of management personnel. This session aims to give applicants the opportunity to express their ambitions and to give reasons why they think the business will be a success.
Restaurant Internship
At this stage, applicants are given the franchise opportunity to experience live, the day-to-day running of an existing franchise, in order to come to grasp of what is demanded as a potential franchisee. The internship usually lasts for 5 days.
Question and Answer session with older franchisees
At this stage, applicants join existing franchise owners, in a convivial atmosphere to ask questions on areas touching any aspect of the Mcdonald franchise business. This is an opportunity for applicants to really determine if the franchise is meant for them.
A Final interview.
Successful applicants are now on the brink of joining the Mcdonald family. Hence they have an audience with senior and executive management staff.
Training Schedule
Shortlisted candidates will undergo a minimum of a nine-month training and immersion program. This training takes place in existing restaurants and in the classroom. The training is unpaid, although applicants will be required to pay 800 USD non-refundable training fee and a refundable security deposit of 6,000 USD.
Applicants are also responsible for accommodation and other costs associated with trainings undergone away from home.
As soon has the applicant has successfully completed the training regime, Mcdonald will make arrangements to offer such candidates their first franchise. Upon acceptance, the franchise is set up for the applicant to begin to operate. On an agreed date, the keys to a franchise, as well as the daily running of the restaurant is handed to the new McDonald franchisee, under the support and advice of a Mcdonald business consultant.
The following statistics are associated with becoming and operating a Mcdonald Franchise:
• How much does a McDonald franchise cost in the USA? Restaurants typically cost between £150,000 and £400,000 to purchase.
• You'll need to provide 25% of the investment in personal funds upfront the rest can be funded through a bank loan. McDonald may come in an advisory capacity, in helping applicants source for financial instruments.
• Shortlisted candidates will need to pay a one-time mcdonald franchise fee of £30,000.
• Training costs in the sum of £750.
• Candidates are required to pay a refundable £5,000 security deposit when you start your training, which we'll refund when you buy your first mcdonald restaurant offered for sale.

From theauthor of
The Middle Place
comes a new memoir that examines the bond sometimes nourishing, sometimes exasperating, occasionally divine between mothers and daughters.
When Kelly Corrigan was in high school, her mother neatly summarized the family dynamic as Your father's the glitter but I m the glue. This meant nothing to Kelly, who left childhood sure that her mom with her inviolable commandments and proud stoicism would be nothing more than background chatter for the rest of Kelly's life, which she was carefully orienting toward adventure. After college, armed with a backpack, her personal mission statement, and a wad of traveler's checks, she took off for Australia to see things and do things and Become Interesting.
But it didn t turn out the way she pictured it. In a matter of months, her savings shot, she had a choice: get a job or go home. That's how Kelly met John Tanner, a newly widowed father of two looking for a live-in nanny. They chatted for an hour, discussed timing and pay, and a week later, Kelly moved in. And there, in that house in a suburb north of Sydney, 10,000 miles from the house where she was raised, her mother's voice was suddenly everywhere, nudging and advising, cautioning and directing, escorting her through a terrain as foreign as any she had ever trekked. Every day she spent with the Tanner kids was a day spent reconsidering her relationship with her mother, turning it over in her hands like a shell, straining to hear whatever messages might be trapped in its spiral.
This is a book about the difference between travel and life experience, stepping out and stepping up, fathers and mothers. But mostly it's about who you admire and why, and how that changes over time.
Praise for
Glitter and Glue
I loved this book, I was moved by this book, and now I will share this book with my own mother along with my renewed appreciation for certain debts of love that can never be repaid.

Review planned for U of M's handling of Gophers football sexual assault case
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - The University of Minnesota Regents are calling for a review of the administration's handling of the Gophers football sexual assault case.
Ten Gophers players were suspended for their alleged involvement in a Sept. 2 incident in which a woman claimed she was pressured into having sex with multiple football players.
In December, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action recommended the expulsion of Ray Buford, Carlton Djam, KiAnte Hardin, Dior Johnson and Tamarion Johnson, a one-year suspension for Antoine Winfield Jr., Seth Green, Kobe McCrary and Mark Williams and probation for Antonio Shenault.
The punishments were appealed and in February a university panel cleared Green, McCrary, Shenault and Winfield, allowing them to return to school and to the Gophers football team. The panel also reduced Djam's punishment to a one-year suspension. The panel upheld the Williams suspension and upheld the expulsions of Buford, Hardin, Dior Johnson and Tamarion Johnson.
The accuser in the case appealed the decisions on McCrary and Winfield and Williams and Hardin made their own appeals. Earlier this week, attorney Lee Hutton confirmed Winfield, Williams and McCrary won their appeals and will be able to return to the team this season. The expulsion of Hardin was upheld, as was the one-year suspension for Djam.
Board Chairman Dean Johnson introduced the resolution at the end of the Board of Regents meeting in Duluth on Friday. The review will be completed in May and will be managed by the university's chief auditor, he said.
"Allegations of sexual assault are serious and we are committed to insuring student safety across all of our campuses as well as an appropriate process for all parties involved," Johnson said. "When we encounter challenging situations, we must take a step back and learn so we can do better in the future."
Ryan Pacyga, Winfield's attorney, told Fox 9 he hopes the Regents look to improve the university's due process protections for accused students.
"The very nature of such allegations warrants equal protection for both the accuser as well as the accused," said Pacyga. "Otherwise, the same blunders will occur again and again. I hope the University has the courage to honestly examine how it can provide a more thorough and fair process for future accused students."
Before the review was announced, at least one regent was ready to introduce a resolution calling for an independent investigation:
Initiate an Independent Investigation
WHEREAS, one of the fundamental roles of the Board of Regents is to oversee the administration of the University of Minnesota's operations; and
WHEREAS, the University of Minnesota is a public institution committed to transparency and accountability; and WHEREAS, an incident between a female University student and members of the University of Minnesota football team led to a report of sexual assault to the Minneapolis Police Department and to the University, resulting in suspension of four football players from the team; and
WHEREAS, the police investigation yielded admissions by five members of the football team of behavior that at a minimum reflected a lack of University values and an utter disregard and disrespect for the reporting student; and
WHEREAS, despite the admitted behavior, when the Hennepin County Attorney announced no charges would be made against the players on October 3, 2016, the administration lifted the suspension of the four players despite an ongoing University EOAA investigation and despite the Hennepin County Attorney's opinion that the players should remain suspended; and
WHEREAS, the lifting of the suspensions compelled the reporting student to seek a protective order against the four players; and
WHEREAS, after the regular football season concluded, the same facts and admissions were cited to re-suspend the four players in contrast to the October 3, 2016 decision, with six additional players being suspended. The administration's reversal on the initial suspensions and addition of individuals not alleged to be directly involved in the sexual assault led to confusion and concern among the remaining football players; and
WHEREAS, in response to their confusion and seeking clarification, team leaders announced a boycott of a pending bowl game, leading to a national and international story detrimental to the University's reputation and standing in Minnesota and beyond; and
WHEREAS, inconsistent statements and descriptions of the events have been provided regarding the timing and basis for actions and decisions by the administration; and
WHEREAS, the lifting of the original suspensions during the EOAA investigation and the impact on the reporting student of doing so appear inconsistent with the Regents' commitment to addressing the issue of sexual assault on campus and protecting those who report sexual assault.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Regents shall commission an independent investigation to review and assess the facts and processes related to the above events. The report shall cover the time period of September 2, 2016 through March 24, 2017. The investigator shall provide a completed report directly to the regents no later than May 5, 2017 to clarify and confirm accountability for actions taken and to identify areas of improvement to address matters that may arise in the future.

Windows 7 home premium version 6.1.7601 srv pk 1 build 7601 x64
Win 7 Wont Boot.... Sometimes
I bought this Dell Inspiron laptop about a month ago. Everything has been fine. No new softrware, no new hardware, I have not made any changes to it at all. I turned it on yesterday and after the Dell logo, it went to a black screen with a blinking cursor on top left.
I turned it on and off a few times with no change. I finally got into the diagnostic screen (F8)and it did a thorough scan of all hardware. It came up clean. I shut it off and turned it back on again and Windows finally came up. I then did a scan of all windows files and that came up clean. After that I did a system restore and didnt have anymore issues with Win 7 booting up. Then about 45 mins ago I turned on the laptop and AGAIN the black screen came up with the blinking. I have no clue what else to check. I could call the place where I bought it from and Im sure their crack team would most likely find the problem only after giving up the laptop for 2 weeks which is what i was trying to avoid.
I've had alot of computers with every kind of problem there is. Never seen this.
I have Win 7 Home Premium V 6.1.7601 X64

What I would do is run Dell Factory Recovery from it's partition after making the Recovery disks to have as a backup method: Dell Restoring Your Computer´s Software to the Factory Settings
Then once you get to the desktop, immediately Clean Up Factory Bloatware which will give you back significant performance hogged by the many preinstalled programs and useless Dell utiltiies starting up with WIndows.
If this fails consider getting a vastly superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

Best icebreaker tips for work presentations
For clarity: An icebreaker is a remark, comment, statement, question, story, shared personal experience, or expressed thought that is spoken just before you begin your speech or presentation. It's the first thing that comes out of your mouth as you address your audience. Most often, an icebreaker is something the audience doesn't expect. It is a wonderful way to immediately connect to those in the room. It also sets the tone for what is to come. In this ExecuProv one-day workshop, students pay close attention to keeping the icebreaker spontaneous and "in the moment" so that their opener doesn't sound canned, thus flat.
The following are four of the nine pointers students learn in the "What's So Funny?" workshop. Try them:
- Begin to become conscious of what it is you can do or say as you first speak in front of any group—even if it's before a couple of people at a sales call. Appreciate how a little small talk is a good thing!
- Take your last several corporate speeches and presentations and attach a scripted icebreaker to each of them. If you can be creative with this exercise, you will prove that you have the very same ability when you wish to do so spontaneously—just as you take center stage to begin your presentation. If you're going to prepare one ahead of time, pick a category from the list of seven in the opening paragraph of this article. Keep the bent humorous.
- Put on your "director's hat" and critique others' icebreakers. Which ones do you find humorous? Which ones pack the punch and which ones fall flat?
- Take stock of the room and all its goings-on. Notice the mood, the surroundings, the ambiance, the people...let your mind remain in a state of whimsy as you make these assessments. This will allow you a few minutes to think how you might play off what is going on in that room, or with that group, as you first take to the lectern. Doing so provides you a short window of opportunity to prepare a humorous aside—an icebreaker.
ExecuProv does not suggest that all meeting and public speaking icebreakers be spontaneous, but it believes that the highly-skilled speaker throws out an icebreaker on the fly. If you write one, be certain to rehearse so that the timing and delivery make it sound fresh and spontaneous.

It's time to fight Alinsky tactics with Alinsky tactics, especially when the targets are deserving, and the jokes are funny. And today's jokes were hilarious.
Rush has in one sweep accused the affirmative action figure of document fraud to deceive the election laws of the United States and We The People!
With one seris of jokes, Rush has accentuated the FACT that what Barry Soetoro and his criminal minions have been using as their proof is a fraud, a forgery, a scam, which the Pres__ent's own press secreatry says was placed on the Web by the candidate/candidate's campaign as sent from Hawaii! ... Did the state of Hawaii send a forgery to Obowma's handlers and they posted it ont he Internet? HAH!
Rush Limbaugh may be characterized as having floateda joke, but the reality is Rush has now accused Barry Soetoro of something that if Soetoro sues over it could break Rush to bankruptcy if Rush is worng! BUT, if Soetoro cannot provide a BC, then he cannot sue Rush and Rush is the winner!
I laughed until my sides hurt today, but after Rush went off the air, it occurred to me that Rush was deadly serious, using a venus of joke to relay the facts as someone has related to him, someone who has the means to know the truth! America's truth detector has spoken out with something very substantial behind his jokes!
One last thought: the affirmative action figure liar-in-chief has made the huge mistake of going after Dick Cheney, even if it is not as openly displayed as the libtards would want. that made him believably dangerous. Then the affirmative action bastard has tried to toss Israel on a Palestinian garbage heap. Mossad is not something even the self-defining divinity figure, Obowma, insults and gets away with. The game is afoot, as Holmes would say ... and it is now deadly serious.

Syed Akbar
Hyderabad: Three months ago, Bhavyasri Kodali was just like any teenager attending a
senior school in the USA. And then came her novel, Vindictive, a thriller plot set in New
York. Things started changing for her. Today, she is a new literary icon in the United
States with her debut novel selling over 25,000 copies since January.
She aspires to be a doctor and has already been volunteering at a hospital. And when she
gets spare time, she writes mysteries. With huge success already in her kitty, Bhavyasri
now plans a sequel to her Vindictive.
Says Bhavyasri, who hails from Vijayawada: "I was inspired by the mere feeling of
entertaining myself, and later I was so enthralled that I continued writing. I was also
motivated by the invisible boundaries that writing has to offer. There was no teacher
that told me to write a paragraph in a certain way or form a character designated to the
guidelines. As I wrote more of the story, I was inspired as to where it would end up so I
sustained writing".
Vindictive is full of mysteries and plots and the teenager weaves them in the most lucid
style, keeping the reader engrossed all through. The novel talks about three friends, who
let their curiosity unravel a dangerous secret behind a friend's death. Throughout their
journey, the friends find the battle between betrayal and revenge as their efforts and as
a result are forced to participate. Their fate from that moment turns to never be the
same again.
"It took about 3 months," she says asked how long did she take to complete the debut
novel. "I was not so sure that it would be so successful. This was something I did for
entertainment and fun, almost like a hobby. I was not expecting it to go anywhere near
publishing. It all came as a big surprise and I am very fortunate,"
Asked what in her book has made it the best seller, Bhavyasri says, "That is something I
have to figure out if I am going to write more." She adds, " I think my book is to the
point, it does not exaggerate or withdraw the necessary details. The characters are
different from each other and are relatable to the real world. It's not the plot, but it
is the sequence of the story that may be interesting to some people."
Bhavyasri Kodali is just years old. She is a senior in high school and will be graduating
from 12th grade this June. She looks forward to attending college this September. "My mom
and dad both work and my younger sister is in 8th Grade. We've been living here for the
past 13 years, and I grew up in America."
Bhavyasri, a student of Simi Valley High School, is the daughter of Srinivasa Kodali and
Vijaya Lakshmi. "I want to become a doctor on the long-run, but now I want to focus on
getting my pre-medical degree and perhaps writing a sequel; I'm not sure yet." Initially,
she was a bit hesitant whether readers would accept a novel from a teenager. But the book
received a positive response. Bhavyasri's family is thrilled to have its first author.

Concerns over binge drinking — the habit of drinking large quantities of alcohol with the intention of getting drunk, usually in company but without the benefit of conversation of any kind — have brought into focus the great difference that exists between virtuous and vicious drinking. Our puritan legacy, which sees pleasure as the doorway to vice, makes it difficult for many people to understand this difference. If alcohol causes drunkenness, they think, then the sole moral question concerns whether you should drink it at all, and if so how much. The idea that the moral question concerns how you drink it, in what company and in what state of mind, is one that is entirely foreign to their way of understanding the human condition.
This puritan legacy can be seen in many aspects of British and American society. And what is most interesting to the anthropologist is the ease with which puritan outrage can be displaced from one topic to another and the equal ease with which the thing formerly disapproved of can be overnight exonerated from all taint of sin. This has been particularly evident in the case of sex. Our parents and grandparents were concerned — and rightly concerned — that young people should look on sex as a temptation to be resisted. However, they did not see chastity as a preparation for sexual enjoyment: in their eyes it was precisely the enjoyment that was wrong. As a result, they made no real distinction between virtuous and vicious desire. The whole subject was taboo and the only answer to the question of sexual urges was "Don't!" The old idea of chastity as a form of temperance eluded them. Yet what Aristotle said about anger (by way of elucidating the virtue of praotes or "gentleness") applies equally to sex. For Aristotle it is not right to avoid anger absolutely. It is necessary rather to acquire the right habit — in other words, to school oneself into feeling the right amount of anger towards the right person, on the right occasion and for the right length of time.
In just such a way we should define sexual temperance, not as the avoidance of desire, but as the habit of feeling the right desire towards the right object and on the right occasion. That is what true chastity consists in, and it provides one of the deep arguments in favour of marriage or, at least, in favour of the constraint upon sexual appetite that is offered by love, that it makes sexual enjoyment into a personally fulfilling habit.

Coope v Ward [2015] EWCA Civ 30
The Court of Appeal has held that property owners owed each other a duty of care in circumstances where a garden dividing wall had collapsed onto adjoining land. The wall was owned by one of the parties (W), and supported over nine feet of earth on their side. After a heavy snowfall, it collapsed onto the properties to the other side. A claim was brought by the owner of one of those properties (C).
The Court of Appeal found that the collapse of the wall was not caused by anything that either party did or should have done. W had not been responsible for the additional loading strain, nor had they known about or had any reason to suspect that the wall might collapse. Consequently they were not liable for the collapse. They were neither the creators of nor knowing contributors to any nuisance and could not be legally responsible for the actions of their predecessors in title, who had significantly increased the depth of soil on their side of the wall. Nor was C liable for the collapse, since any easement of support which might have been acquired had been extinguished when the depth of soil was increased.
However, the consequences of the collapse gave rise to "measured duties of care" on both sides, since there was a risk of further collapse, which was now known to both parties. There was no practical difference between characterising this as a duty arising in negligence, and one arising in nuisance. It was the lack of support from C's land which gave rise to this risk, and therefore the duty on C, and this was so even though the court had held that there was no easement of support. Equally, had there been an easement of support, that would not preclude the existence of a duty on either side.
A "measured duty of care" means that what is required to remove or reduce the risk is what is reasonable to expect in the individual party's circumstances. The engineering solution here was not obvious, but C would at the very least, be obliged to allow W access to their land to enable them to carry out any work that might be necessary to shore up W's land or protect it from collapsing further. Although there was a duty on both sides, it was not just and reasonable to impose on C a liability to contribute to the cost of the works, when the cause of the collapse was the overloading of the wall on W's side, and the solution to the problem was as yet unknown and unspecified.
The case will be of particular interest to corporate occupier and investor clients, as it underlines that where support is enjoyed and needed, it is important to ensure that there is an easement of support. The extinguishment of any easement as a result of the increased loading is an important practical lesson, too.

Game updates are separate from Sony's PSN servers from what I can tell.
Although PSN was down, I was still able to update the new Mortal Kombat game.
This must be specific to Homefront. Just like how the MW2 hacks worked.
I'm surprised FF13 has 12 fans.
And I thought 10 fans would be too many. :P
To all the people here that are mentioning how PS1 and PS2 need to be on the list, preferably at number 1, should realize that 60GB PS3s should be at the number 1 spot.
A console that includes two of the best consoles of all time in terms of sales and games and quality, plus all the great gems this generation, should definitely be the best console of all time.
You're no journalist. You're a sensationalist.
You don't inform. You flame.
That's people's problem with this article and you.
Everyone knows that.
That's also one of the main reasons why people are so annoyed at "Anonymous".
That's why people have been calling this particular group of "Anonymous" just script kiddies.
And you waste so much more money buying an Xbox 360 and paying for Live Gold yearly than buying a launch PS3.
And considering that Sony was losing $200 per PS3 at launch, you should be thankful you only had to work 2 jobs instead of 3 or 4 if Sony had priced it so they wouldn't lose so much money.
Just the fact that you'd rather save $100 just to buy an unreliable but cheaper system says a lot about you. Why not go even cheaper and buy a Wii?
Millions more use the Web Browser than the 5 customers who actually used Other OS.
Not only that, you had the choice not to update and keep Other OS. And don't try to bring up the fact that institutions use Linux on PS3 to do research, because they obviously chose NOT to update.
Its not anyone else's fault that you realized Linux on the PS3 was not as important as all the other features you get by updating.
Kratos + D-pad = PS3 version for me.
I think Sony could and SHOULD sue them for libel.
This needs to happen because gaming "journalism" is taking too many liberties with publishing unconfirmed false rumours or speculation while publishing it as fact.
The gaming industry needs to come together and create laws or procedures surrounding the publishing of information in the industry.
Make it so that only the websites that follow certain criteria will be trusted as an offic...
No one has to kill anyone in order to be a terrorist.
To terrorize = to put fear into someone. Terrorists put fear into a GROUP of people or organization.
The worsts terrorists use death to create fear. But there are MANY other ways to terrorize people.
To the impatient people of N4G:
Well Akuma was pretty weak in SF4.
I guess they had to Oni him to bring back the FEAR of facing Akuma.
I also wish they'd make Bison more deadly.
Team 6 is on there way.
They were able to find Osama of all people.
What makes hackers think they're so unstoppable? Lol.
They gave a rough timeframe.
They never said "PSN will officially be back online on May 5th 2011, at 9AM EST" or something like that.
I bet all of you impatient ones will also be the first ones to attack Sony if they did a rushed job just to get PSN back online and get hacked again because they didn't take the necessary amount of time to make sure it was safe.
All because people were too impatient.
Gamestop is doing this because the value for PS2 Backkwards Compatible PS3's are even higher than the slims.
If you want money towards a slim PS3, try selling it online. You'll get WAY more than $200.
He's just not very good at life period.
Yea, I hate those Debbie Downers that get so offended just because I like what one company offers more than the competing company.
If only people on N4G could just learn to show their appreciation to their games and consoles of choice without having to dish out BS on the other games and consoles.
Wow. Sony really went out of their way to hopefully gain back our trust.
But... like usual you'll hear the whiners and moaners. The World Is Not Enough for them.
Pretty good picks.

Amazon has a new TV pilot based on The Tick comics. Vincent and Chris each offer their take.
Vincent's Take:
So in it's quest to lure subscribers Amazon, along with all the big streaming services, has been putting out original content. And like other streaming services they've attempted to cash in on nostalgia… in this case nostalgia for blue suited superhero known as The Tick.
The Tick originated in comic book form in 1988, but became much more widely known thanks to the Fox Kids cartoon that was highly enjoyable and ran from 1994 to 1996. The Tick also found life in a shortly lived live action series on Fox for just 9 episodes.
I would consider myself a Tick fan, mostly limited to my exposure to the cartoon and the live action show, with a few Free Comic Book Day issues of the comic here and there. I was excited for a new Tick pilot, though I had a bit of trepidation as we all should in these days of reboots, remakes, and re-imaginings. Still, I had some hope. Tick creator Ben Edlund wrote the pilot, so if it was going to succeed or fail at least it was in the hands of it's original creator.
After watching this thing I can say I liked it, though I have some reservations. This Tick isn't the laugh a minute riot of the cartoon. It's still got the wit of old Tick with his constant exposition about things like justice and destiny, but this one gets real dark really quickly. It's more of an exploration of a goofy superhero in a more serious world. It's as if the Tick got plopped into a more Batman v Superman type universe. While not a straight up comedy, it made me laugh in other key scenes and through the rest I was really invested in the plot. I really didn't expect that from a Tick tv series.
Oh, and before I forget I don't like the Tick's modern superhero suit with all it's texture, but maybe that is a part of the parody.
If you don't want spoilers, you'll probably going to want to stop reading the next few paragraphs. If you have any interest in the show, maybe give Chris's review a shot without reading the spoilers section of mine. Regardless, I say bring on more Tick Amazon.
In the Tick pilot Arthur's story is a lot more personal. He's not just some accountant that wants to be a superhero. No. Not only was his father killed in a horrific accident by a beloved superhero team, he then saw that superhero team get executed in cold blood, and then the head bad guy personally taunts him. That moment made him seek out justice as a sort of conspiracy investigator or something. This had me a lot more invested in the plot and while it does take away from the comedy, it probably could make for a more interesting TV series.
The danger of this is that now they've revealed a lot about Arthur they may have to reveal more about the origins of The Tick or face fan backlash. Personally, I hope they don't do too much into Tick's origin.
Chris' Take:
So I should mention right up front that I have a very biased view of The Tick. I'll fill in a few personal details to explain. I grew up in Massachusetts and when I was young I had a paper route. Two, actually, plus I did lawnmowing and babysitting. Most of that went in a college fund but I also had some spending money at a pretty young age. Pre-teen. At the end of my routes, I was near a convenience store that had spinner racks. I got into reading Transformers, G.I. Joe, Spider-Man and others. Then I realized, by reading through the PHONE BOOK (this makes me feel so old) that there was a "comic book store" half an hour away. My mom agreed to take me there so I could find back issues.
This was around 1986 and I discovered all sorts of comics including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The store was called NEC, a chain of retailers that was successful enough that they printed a black and white newsprint newsletter each month. It had what was coming up, a few reviews, their back issue catalog and some comics including their mascots: Bongo the monkey and The Tick. Eventually NEC published The Tick as a comic in 1988 and I learned that it was by a guy not TOO much older than me from a couple towns over, Ben Edlund. I went to the release at the store and got Ben to sign my first couple of issues.
I loved the humor of The Tick. Satirizing superhero conventions and tropes and full of absurdity. But the most exciting part was that it was by a guy from a small town near me. It made me think anyone could become successful in art if they worked at it. I met him at a convention or two in Boston before he moved out to L.A. But he's always been a hero for me. I liked the two previous TV adaptations and I really loved his work on Angel and Supernatural. I know this has been a long preamble but I want you to know that I'm coming from a place where I'm now predisposed to like anything by Ben Edlund, more or less (Revolution fell apart fast and I haven't watched Gotham). On top of that, Benito Cereno is a comics writer and a real life friend and he has written many newer issues of The Tick.
With all that said, I loved this new pilot. It isn't a total gag/joke fest though. I think Edlund probably feels that he's done that already with comics and the cartoon. So he's still using Tick to satirize superheroes and the personality of the Tick is the same, but the world is a bit more serious. It's more of a look at the tropes of the superhero movies and TV shows out there. So instead of Chairface Chippendale, the main villain is The Terror and he is legit powerful and cruel. He's played by Jackie Earle Haley who can do scary in his sleep.
But what I enjoyed most is that Tick and his sidekick Arthur are pretty much the same as they've always been. Arthur is meek but wants justice. His origin in the pilot is expanded to give him more personal stakes. I don't want to spoil that. But he's a great foil for Tick who is as bombastic and sweetly oblivious as ever. Who knows where this guy came from, where he got his powers or what motivated him to be a superhero? That's NEVER been explained. Tick emerges fully formed. His sole identity is superhero and he wanders around rooftops looking for crime to stop, while delivering monologues about justice and destiny.
And if you're gonna get someone that's a talker, you could do a lot worse than Peter Serafinowicz. The guy has a deadpan delivery and a deep monotone. He voiced Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace and has been one of the Nova Corps in Guardians of the Galaxy. He's also done a lot of comedy like Parks and Rec and Shaun of the Dead. He's pretty tall and he pulls off a very accurate Tick. The costume has a lot more texture, again mimicking the current superhero tropes.
Did I laugh throughout? No. But it had my attention 100%. I would definitely like to understand Arthur and Terror's back stories. Learn more about the city. See more scenes of Tick effortlessly taking out waves of henchmen. And probably see more crazy superheroes and supervillains. I certainly enjoyed this a lot and will watch it again. I hope it becomes a series.

Repression, Fundamentalism, and Terrorism in the Middle East in Democratic Development and Political Terrorism
Kamrava, Mehran
The September 11 attacks and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have raised difficult questions about the challenges and far-reaching consequences of dealing with political terrorism on an international scale. In this timely collection, experts delve into such critical topics as the root causes of terrorist acts, the relationship between authoritarian repression and terrorist movements, the most effective foreign policies for containing worldwide political violence, the role of military force, and the complexities and uncertainties of attempts to democratize autocratic or totalitarian regimes in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe, and Latin and Central America.

|Boycott Israel: Wyclef Jean with wife Claudinette
Israeli fans of Wyclef Jean won't be rocking while Gaza is burning on August 14 in Hadera, Israel. The entire Boom-Box Festival has been cancelled. Boom Box organizers claim they will reschedule the event, but international musicians of conscience are urged to join the cultural boycott of Israel and commit to NOT rescheduling.
Boom Box organizers have openly declared their support for IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) soldiers that are brutally massacring hundreds of children in Gaza. Boom Box organizers are happy to mix music with Israeli pro-Zionist politics.
Boom Box had also featured US Rapper Talib Kweli. On July 1, Kweli used twitter to publicly announce his choice to honor the cultural boycott of Israel. Using twitter, he announced "As much as I want to play Israel, I have decided not to in solidarity with Palestinians who will not have access to my show."[1]
Normalization and Denial of Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing
Last April, Wyclef Jean joined with Israeli musician David Broza to create a video for "peace." Jean sings in the opening track "Same face in the Gaza is the same face I see out in California." [2] Except the Gaza face is being torn apart or burnt by the Israeli face. The faces of over 400 (that number climbs every day) beautiful Palestinian children have been frozen in death by the Israelis. Jean's effort in co-creating "East Jerusalem - West Jerusalem" is categorized as normalization. Israel's crime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing is denied and the Palestinian call for solidarity through the cultural boycott of Israel is ignored.
Israel: No Place to Headline
All artists, including Wyclef Jean, are urged to refrain from playing in Israel. They are encouraged to join people of conscience everywhere who advocate for the cultural boycott of Israel.

Moving forward with Composr
ocPortal has been relaunched as Composr CMS. ocPortal 9 is superseded by Composr 10.
Head over to compo.sr for our new site, and to our migration roadmap. Existing ocPortal member accounts have been mirrored.
Personal theme for single user
Login / Search
#71963 (In Topic #15117)
in order to develop a new theme
I know there is an option for users to select their own theme which I disabled back in version 4 and I can't find anywhere to turn back on in 7, major possibility that it's right there in front of me, mocking me that I can't see it.
What I really want is to have my Developer user with administrator rights able to see the site with an alternate template than the rest of the people, so that I'll be able to work on the theme and view the changes while I'm logged in this account. Is it possible, even through tinkering in the database to force this user to use the theme I'm developing? (of course it is, it's OC Portal we're talking about).
Theme choice is available if at least one zone is set to work off a user choice.
Become a fan of Composr on Facebook or add me as a friend. Add me on on Twitter. Support me on Patreon
I created a new zone called beta and I switched it to use the theme in development and gave it rights to a certain group of people I want to be able to access it, so that works perfectly!
Looking forward to implement all the new facebook related goodies.
There are too many online users to list.
