Three Farmington teams hosted games last night at FHS and all three failed to get in the scoring column. The Tiger volleyball was blanked 25-20, 25-20, 25-12 by non-conference rival Rochester Mayo. Meanwhile, both the boys and girls soccer team were being shut out by Holy Angels. The Tiger girls lost 1-0 and the boys were tripped up, 2-0. The Farmington girls tennis team just missed picking up its first win of the season, dropping a 4-3 decision to Chaska.
Farmington senior Elliot Fenske cut 23 seconds off last year's time and defended his meet title at Tuesday's New Prague Invitational. Fenske, who ran a 17:10 on the course last fall, outclassed the field with a 5,000-meter time of 16:47. His high finish helped the Tigers to a second-place team score of 63 points in the nine-team meet.
The Farmington football team was shut out for the second straight game in Friday night's 34-0 Missota Conference loss at Shakopee. The Sabers, who led 31-0 by halftime, improved their record to 4-0. The Tigers, now 1-3, were shutout for the second straight game after having been held scoreless just twice from 2004 through 2009. Mark Froehling's team will try to get back in the win column next Friday when it hosts a 1-3 Holy Angels team for Homecoming.
The Farmington volleyball team slipped to 5-8 with a 25-21, 25-22, 25-8 loss at fifth-ranked (Class 3A) Shakopee Thursday night in Shakopee. The Tigers compete again Tuesday when they host Rochester Mayo.
Farmington coach Julian Buss made some personnel changes that paid off during last Tuesday's come-from-behind victory over Red Wing. With starting midfielders Christian Thao and Brandon Scott missing due to injuries, Buss moved sweeper Sam Leske up to midfield to try to create some offense.
A 1-3 record at Saturday's Farmington Tournament was far from disappointing for coach Mike Woody. After all, two of his team's losses came at the hands of fifth-ranked (Class 2A) Jordan and eighth-ranked (Class 2A) Delano and a third loss to Osseo came with all-state hitter Katie Habeck sidelined with a back injury.
The orange and black of Farmington High School was lost in the crowd at Friday's Applejack Invitational. Competing alongside some of the best individuals and teams from around the metro, the Tiger boys finished 17th out of 22 teams on the soggy course at Aronson Park. Senior Elliot Fenske was once again the Tiger to watch as he stayed within range of the lead pack for most of the 5,000-meter race before settling into 16th place against a field of 152 runners.
Farmington used its depth to pile up 850.5 points in winning the Eagle Invitational quadrangular swimming and diving meet Saturday at Bloomington Kennedy. Bloomington Jefferson finished a distant second with 456 points, followed by Kennedy and Eau Claire (Wis.) The Tigers won seven of the meet's 12 events, but it was performances like the one in the 200 freestyle that showcased the team's depth and helped turn the quadrangular into a blowout. Farmington swimmers finished second, third, fourth and fifth, scoring the team 62 points.
Another well-played game against a South Suburban Conference opponent ended in defeat for the Farmington girls soccer team Saturday. The Tigers, who entered at 5-3 with all three losses coming at the hands of South Suburban schools, played even with Lakeville South for nearly 77 minutes before the Cougars booted a 20-yard free kick past goalkeeper Taylor Meyer to earn a 1-0 victory at Tiger Stadium. "It was a very, very even game with both teams only getting a few real chances at goal," Farmington coach Rob Carpentier said. "Our kids played a solid game.
Farmington did its part in helping Chanhassen secure its first-ever Missota Conference win Friday night. The Tigers threw a pair of interceptions, sent two more long snaps past their punter and produced just six first downs while rushing for 31 yards in a 20-0 loss to the Storm. Chanhassen, like previous Farmington opponents Hudson and Red Wing, took advantage of being given a short field throughout the game.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'I'm very, very disappointed'
Made a scapegoat, former minister alleges
A FORMER cabinet minister says she has been made a scapegoat by Greg Selinger's senior political staff in order to protect the Manitoba premier from criticism.
Riel NDP MLA Christine Melnick, a former immigration and multiculturalism minister, said Monday it was senior political advisers to Selinger who directed her department to invite immigrant groups to attend a controversial legislative debate in April 2012.
Selinger said recently Melnick acted on her own in issuing the invite and he and his staff were not involved.
This has angered Melnick, who Monday called her treatment by the premier and his staff "reprehensible."
She said her department was directed by senior political officials, including Anna Rothney, chairwoman of the priorities and planning committee of cabinet, to issue the invitation to immigrant groups in April 2012.
"I was not acting alone; I was acting under the direction of senior political staff," Melnick said.
Since then, she said, senior political operatives, including the premier's chief of staff, Liam Martin, have denied her opportunities to tell her side of the story.
"I'm very, very disappointed in Greg Selinger. I'm very disappointed. I've been loyal. I've been a hard-working minister and MLA. And I have been part of the team," Melnick said in a joint interview with the Free Press and The Canadian Press news agency. "And to be treated like this, I think, is reprehensible and just not acceptable."
In an emailed statement late Monday, Matt Williamson, who is in charge of cabinet communications, said on behalf of the government: "Christine Melnick's claim that she did not direct the civil service to email the invite has proven false.
"Her accusations today are also false. Her previous explanation for making false statements was undiagnosed diabetes. Today she is blaming staff. It's no secret that several MLAs and staff were involved in getting the word out about the debate in the chamber. Ms. Melnick is the only one to have directed civil servants to send an email and then claim she did not." Melnick was dropped from cabinet in a shuffle this past October. The premier later said a lie Melnick told over who was responsible for the emailed invitation was part of the reason he removed her from his inner circle. Melnick initially indicated assistant deputy minister Ben Rempel acted on his own in inviting members of the immigrant community to a debate on a resolution in the legislature April 19, 2012.
The motion criticized Ottawa's plans to take over some federally funded immigration programs run by the province. More than 400 people attended the event. So, too, did several Conservative MPs, who vehemently defended the federal government's decision.
Opposition MLAs accused the NDP government of politicizing the civil service by having Rempel issue the invitation. Acting on a complaint, the provincial ombudsman investigated Rempel's actions but did not issue a report until December 2013.
Initially, Melnick said, she did not recall directing her department to invite members of the immigrant community to the debate. But by sometime in the summer of 2012, the former minister said she recalled — much to her distress — she had.
She told political staffers of her newfound memory of the event, and she wrote to the ombudsman to inform him she had, in fact, directed Rempel to issue the invitation.
Melnick said all the while she had been feeling under the weather and she sought medical help.
Shortly after she was diagnosed with diabetes in late December 2012, she told senior political operatives she felt her illness likely had contributed to her "confusion" over the events of the previous spring. She said she should inform the ombudsman of that fact, but "it was decided that no letter be sent," Melnick said Monday.
The public was not informed Melnick directed her department to issue the invitation to immigrant groups until it was revealed in the ombudsman's report this past Dec. 12.
Melnick wished to explain herself when the report came out, but was prevented from doing so, she said, by the premier's chief of staff.
"I reiterated my health concerns, which were dismissed, and was told that, without any discussion with myself, a press conference was being organized through which the attorney general would announce that I would apologize in the house (when the session resumed March 6)."
She said she attempted to discuss the government's response with Selinger but was rebuffed by his staff. (In fact, she said, she has not been able to meet with Selinger at all on the issue.) Frustrated, she gave an interview to a CBC reporter Dec. 20, during which she discussed her illness for the first time. Martin then advised her it would be best not to talk to other media.
So when she received requests for interviews from the Free Press and other media, she declined.
In a Dec. 21 conversation with Williamson, she was told "that it did not matter what I had to say; the decision had been made, upon receiving the report to 'hang me out, in order to protect the premier.' " Meanwhile, Melnick said Monday it was "pretty darn tough" for her to go public on this matter.
She said she comes from a long line of social democrats, and her grandparents were involved in organizing the 1919 strike.
"I was not a rogue. I was a member of the team," she said.
Melnick said she wants to remain a part of the NDP caucus and plans to run for re-election in Riel in the general election expected in spring 2016.

Nobody...beats Bradley at 140-147 other then Mayweather (and I think he gives Mayweather some problems), I even think Bradley beats Pacquiao in a rematch (A LEGIT WIN)
People can hold that sh1t decision against him for the rest of his career but that is one tough little dude, doesn't do anything "GREAT" but does everything very good which makes him so hard to deal with IMO
Rios wins maybe 2 Rounds, Bradley too slippery and he ducks underneath punches so well, I think Rios struggles trying to land clean while Bradley out-works him every round and wear him down with Body Shots

People forget that Bradley beat the crap out of Lamont Peterson, who fought a Rios-style fight and got completely shut out
Rios isn't getting knocked down or stunned like Peterson did... Rios does have more power than Peterson, and that could make a difference
But Rios is also slower, shorter, and has much worse defense

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Lethem's latest mines leftie family lore
American Communists, it turns out, have a thing for the New York Mets. Or so Jonathan Lethem would have us believe.
In Dissident Gardens, Lethem's ninth novel, he returns to familiar ground, both literally and figuratively. Like three of his last four novels (the exception being 2007's You Don't Love Me Yet), Dissident Gardens is set in Lethem's native New York City, and in it Lethem turns, as he did to great effectiveness in 2003's The Fortress of Solitude, to his own family's history for his subject matter.
Dissident Gardens
By Jonathan Lethem
384 pages, $32
The results here are mixed, but worthwhile.
At the centre of the novel is Rose Angrush Zimmer, an unrepentant and lifelong Communist. Like Lethem's own maternal grandmother and mother, Rose and her daughter, Miriam, are residents, at the novel's outset, of a Jewish communist enclave in Sunnyside, Queens.
The opening chapters, however, recount their separate ejections from this would-be utopia. Rose has been kicked out of the Communist party by local apparatchiks as punishment for her affair with a black police officer, and 17-year-old Miriam is evicted by Rose for a failed attempt to lose her virginity in her mother's home.
The opening chapter, set in 1955, and the final one, set in September 2012, define the chronological limits of the novel, with the intervening chapters moving forward and backward in time, focusing on a range of characters closely connected to Rose and Miriam. The result is less a narrative than an unorthodox family portrait.
It isn't so simple as that, though, as the members of Rose's extended and ad hoc family stand for various veins or permutations of communism in post-Second World War America.
Albert, Rose's ex-husband, is an East German proponent of Soviet-style socialism. Her younger cousin Lenny, whose given name is Lenin, is a utopian Marxist-Leninist, theoretically skilled, but incompetent in practice.
Cicero Lookins, the son of Rose's lover, is a professor of literary theory, whose post-structuralist Marxism seems, like most aspects of his character, designed to shock and impress those around him.
Miriam and her husband Tommy naively attempt to translate their Greenwich Village folk homilies into revolutionary action in the jungles of Nicaragua, with predictably disastrous results.
The story is a family tragedy, but it's also a political allegory. The collapse of Rose's legacy is parallel to and bound up in the failure of postwar communism to find a foothold in America.
At the same time, Lethem works to debunk the common conception that to be a Communist is to be, as American political rhetoric has characterized it for the past six decades, anti-American.
The Communists of Dissident Gardens are devotees of American history and culture, from Abraham Lincoln and the Delta Blues to the New York Mets and Archie Bunker.
If anything, their failure comes from a quixotic over-investment in the idea of America. Unable to give up on their steadfast belief that right will win out over might, Lethem's characters are doomed by their inability to see past their ideals.
It is in Rose's last, and least likely, scion, her grandson Sergius Gogan, that Lethem offers a glimmer of hope for American communism. Sergius is a blank slate, orphaned then raised by Quakers, who discovers his inheritance from Rose not in the song cycle he intends to compose about his mother and grandmother, but in his discovery of his own strident anti-authoritarianism in the novel's closing pages.
Though Dissident Gardens lacks the immediate intensity of The Fortress of Solitude's portrait of 1970s Brooklyn, it is a smart, sprawling and insistently intimate portrait of a family whose politics underpin and undermine their every action.
Brandon Christopher is an assistant professor in the department of English at the University of Winnipeg.

And remember when everybody said the dynastic Patriots needed to put some elite weapons around Tom Brady because, um, well … apparently Super Bowl victories in 2001, 2003 and 2004 and two last-second championship-winning drives and a pair of Super Bowl MVP awards weren't enough?
And 'member the Patriots, two years removed from their last championship and one defensive stop away from winning the 2006 AFC title game and returning to the Super Bowl, went out and grabbed Randy Moss and Wes Welker in the offseason? Do you 'member?
How'd that work out for everybody?
You know the answer. Not so hot. Somewhere along the way, the Patriots voluntarily threw away their super-duper-secret recipe for championship success. And since that day, they've been tossing everything on the spice rack into the pot, hoping to recreate the magic.
Well, the Emeril Lagasse of the gridiron, the Cold, Hard Football Facts, still has the secret formula of 11 stats and spices.
Here's what the Patriots need to do: They need to dump Moss. Maybe even dump Welker. He might never be the same anyway. More importantly, they need to dump the debilitating mindset that comes with the misguided faith in wide receivers, dump the desire to pass the ball on every down and get back to the basics of championship-winning football.
That's not a knee-jerk reaction to New England's humiliating 33-14 loss to Baltimore in the wild card round of the playoffs Sunday.
Quite the contrary. It's an acknowledgment of one of the great eternal truths of football history: Flashy receivers are nice little glossy hood ornaments on a football team and nothing more. They are certainly not the engines that power victories and power championships.
Never have been. Never will be … no matter how many cover stories Sports Illustrated publishes to the contrary.
Moss, for example, is one of the great receivers in the history of the game. There are no two sides to the argument. The numbers, the Cold, Hard Football Facts, are overwhelming. He's among the all-time leaders in every major receiving category — 10th in receptions (926), sixth in yards (14,465) and second in touchdowns (148).
And he's hardly washed up at 32 years old. Despite what seemed like an unproductive season, Moss led the league in TD receptions this season with 13 (tied with Larry Fitzgerald and Vernon Davis).
In fact, everything he did this year was just about what you get out of an average Randy Moss season:
• In 2009 he caught 83 passes for 1,264 yards and 13 TDs.
• In his career he's averaged 77 receptions for 1,205 yards and 12 TDs.
Moss' 15.2 yards per reception this year, meanwhile, was dead on the 15.2 yards he averaged in his record 23-TD season of 2007.
Moss, in other words, had a very good and productive season in 2009 by any standard. He should have made the Pro Bowl.
But great wideouts rarely lead you to anything, not even the greatest among them, like Moss. Last we counted, he's won zero Super Bowl rings in his 12 record-setting seasons.
He's not alone.
In fact, we combed the length and breadth of pro football history trying to come up with a receiver who carried his team to championships — we found exactly zero. Maybe Green Bay Hall of Famer Don Hutson — but he last strapped on a leather helmet back in 1945.
Jerry Rice is the modern example everybody cites. He's a three-time Super Bowl champ and the all-time leader in everything. But he was NOT the reason San Francisco dominated in the 1980s and into the 1990s.
The 49ers had won two Super Bowls before Rice arrived on the scene and already had established themselves as the NFL's best club without him.
People forget that Rice was drafted in 1985 by the defending Super Bowl champs, and not just any old defending champ — those 1984 49ers were the best team in franchise history. They were an awesome, virtually unstoppable 15-1 juggernaut that dominated a very, very good 14-2 Dolphins team and its Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, 38-16, in Super Bowl XIX.
San Francisco's leading receivers that season, the greatest in franchise history, were Dwight Clark (52 catches, 880 yards, 6 TDs) and running back Roger Craig (71 catches, 675 yards, 3 TD). Very humble numbers.
So, Rice didn't make the 49ers winners. The 49ers made Rice a winner. (Safety Ronnie Lott had more to do with San Francisco's success than the record-setting wide receiver. It was Lott's acquisition that turned the team's defense into one of the best in football year after year and instantly lifted the club to its first Super Bowl win in his rookie season.)
The greatest teams, meanwhile, were not great because of great receivers. Not one of them.
The Packers dominated the 1960s, a decade of prolific leaps in offensive production, without a single 1,000-yard receiver.
The Steelers dominated the 1970s with just a single 1,000-yard season out of either member of their Hall of Fame receiving tandem of Lynn Swann and John Stallworth (who produced 1,183 yards in 1979). Swann averaged just 607 yards receiving in his nine-year career.
The 49ers dominated the 1980s but, as noted, were just as dominant before Rice's arrival as they were afterward.
The Cowboys dominated the 1990s with a Hall of Fame receiver in the so-called "playmaker," Michael Irvin. But he was hardly the centerpiece of their offense. In fact, Irvin put up pretty humble numbers by the standards of the era: He caught 10 TD passes just once, in Dallas's 1995 championship season, and combined for 14 TD receptions in their 1992 and 1993 Super Bowl-winning seasons.
And, finally, there are the 21st-century Patriots. As noted here last week, they won three Super Bowls with just a single 1,000-yard receiver (Troy Brown in 2001). They've won nothing with the history-making tandem of Welker and Moss.
The three most dominant receivers of the past decade, meanwhile, were Moss, Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison — each among the all-time leaders in every receiving category.
Yet these incredible, record-setting pass-catchers combined for three Super Bowl appearances and one victory. And, even in that victory (2006 Colts), Harrison was a non-factor. He's probably the worst big-game receiver in history: Harrison caught just two TD passes in 16 playoff games — both of them in the same 2003 win over the Broncos.
In Indy's Super Bowl-winning playoff run of 2006, Harrison combined for 15 catches and 193 yards in four postseason games. In other words, Indy's best receiver barely contributed to the team's playoff success.
By the way: The last guy to lead the league in receptions and win a championship? Todd Christensen with the 1983 Raiders.
So, while fans, broadcasters and pigskin "pundits" gawk at the athleticism and production of the game's premier receivers, and while Sports Illustrated just ran a misguided cover story last week proclaiming wide receivers the secrets to success this year, the truth is very, very different.
The truth is this: Glitzy wideouts rarely have anything to do with championship success.
In fact, for some curious reason, great receivers seem to have the opposite effect. Teams seem to grow too dependent on their pass-catchers. And when these pass-catchers suddenly have a bad day or face a great scheme, the whole offensive production falls apart.
Remember the old line about Tom Brady?
Who's his favorite receiver? The open one.
That was the mindset that made him one of the game's great quarterbacks and made him deadly in critical moments and big games. It was a mindset that allowed this team to persevere in tough situations that could have caused other teams to crumble. It was a mindset that carried the team to its greatest period of success.
My take? Dump Moss, who has one year left on a hefty deal (reported at three years for $27 million when signed in 2008) and put the money toward harvesting game-breaking defenders in free agency or the draft.
These are the guys the Patriots have been missing in recent years. And these are the guys who, paired with an elite quarterback like Brady, make a team so deadly.
But it's not just Moss the Patriots will be unloading. They'll be dumping a mindset that has turned a perennial champion and one of the great big-game teams in the history of football into J-A-T — Just Another Team.
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.
We talk to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News about his column today which basically accuses the Patriots of sour grapes for asking the league to enforce their own rules against tampering.
Brow Buff's Sam Packard and Ben Kichen break down Marcus Smart's unfortunate ball tap, debate leadership in the Celtics locker room, and rehash the great Kevin Love to Boston rumors.

We talk to Chris Mannix from SI to break down the C's acquisition of Isaiah Thomas and the crazy trade deadline in the rest of the NBA.
Mut, Tomase, and Bradford kick things off talking about Shane Victorino taking offense to people reading into some comments he made about trading for Cole Hamels. They also discuss Blake Swihart and how soon he could be up if Christian Vazquez starts the season on the DL.
Joe Kelly joined the Hot Stove show where he talked about being ready for his next spring training start after a biceps ailment forced him out of his last outing, he talks about his NCAA brackets and how teammate Wade Miley has a perfect bracket still.
Mut, Bradford, and Tomase kick off this weeks show by talking to Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly about his biceps recovery, getting ready for the season and his NCAA brackets. They then talk about the Red Sox depth at closer with Koji Uehara questionable for the start of the season.
Jack Edwards of NESN joins Dale, Michael and Jerry. With 9 games left the Bruins don't have much if any margin of error, and Jack knows it.
DJ, Joe and Pete talk more playoff scenarios in hour 2 and if the Bruins can get in, they'll be a very dangerous team... to the point where DJ thinks teams would much rather face the Senators and are doing their best to oust the Bruins from the equation. It's become apparent now more than ever that Chiarelli probably needed to pull the trigger on a deal for a defenseman at the trade deadline. Also. Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun joins the boys to discuss the Hamburglar and the Senators and Bruins being neck-and-neck for a playoff spot.
With the Senators hot on the tail of the Bruins for a spot in the playoffs, Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun calls into Sunday Skate. He talks about "the Hamburglar" craze sweeping through the league as goalie Andrew Hammond has really stepped up for Ottawa. They discuss playoff chances, the fans' reaction in Ottawa and more.

Bitter Fame was soon garnering some powerfully bad notices, especially that of A. Alvarez in the New York Review of Books. Alvarez, the author of one of the most influential pieces on Plath, in his study of suicide, The Savage God, had some special, personal cards to deal, as have so many others Plath left behind. Because Malcolm's great theme is treachery--that of the interviewer, the journalist, the teller of just about any tale--the Plath mess seemed a perfect fit, and she decided to become a player, too. In 1991, Malcolm was having lunch with Olwyn Hughes in North London, 28 years to the day on which the poet died.
This is only one of the coincidences in The Silent Woman, a postmodern biography par excellence, which is less about the drama of Plath's life and still controversial death than about their continuing effect on the living. For Malcolm, all cards are wild, each one revealing more complexity, human cravenness, and, above all, brilliantly playful aperçus about human agency and writing's deceptions. I look forward to the dictionary of quotations that foregrounds the elegant "The pleasure of hearing ill of the dead is not a negligible one, but it pales before the pleasure of hearing ill of the living." And then there's, "Memory is notoriously unreliable; when it is intertwined with ill will, it may be monstrously unreliable. The 'good' biographer is supposed to be able to discriminate among the testimonies of witnesses and have his antennae out for tendentious distortions, misrememberings, and outright lies." It's clear that Malcolm doesn't see herself as a "good" biographer--she openly declares her allegiance, but is more than capable of changing it and of showing her cards. Or is she? In the end, The Silent Woman is a stunning inquiry into the possibility of ever really knowing anything save that "the game continues."
Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
What you get here is an interesting book that engages the reader and at times almost reads like a novel.
Malcolm's book is a compelling look at the process of writing a biography, as well as an interesting biography of Plath's and Hughes's relationship in itself.
The book is rather pointless in the end because, as she acknowledges with her usual candor, Janet Malcolm is not really very interested in poetry.

Spices are the root, bark, seeds, flowers or fruits of certain plants. They are usually available dried – either ground, cracked or whole pods. Ground spices will lose flavor faster than whole spices and all spices should be stored away from sources of heat and light.

Dust 514
This game is Pay2Win Freemium garbage
This wasn't meant to be a troll post. However, it's a bit ridiculous that you have to griiiind so hard just to get a different weapon while they keep dangling essentially the "in app currency purchases" in front of your face.
Not to mention the actual gameplay just isn't fluid whatsoever. Yet, the game is free so 5/10, wont be playing again though.
You dont have to grind that hard at all to try a new weapon.
Most weapons you can just dump 2-3 days worth of passive SP or a few games worth of active SP to get the standard level version of a gun and see if you like it. Upgrading any further than that isnt really necessary, the damage increase from standard to proto is about 10%, while the ISK, cpu, and pg costs skyrocket. Upgrading is only really worth it for weapons that get a secondary benefit from upgrading, or for weapon variants that are locked to upper tiers.
The most expensive gun, SP wise, is probably the HMG, or the forge gun, and they only take about a weeks worth of SP, of which the active SP can be knocked out in 2-3 days.
Weapon operation skills are generally 2x multiplier skills, they take very little SP to max out compared to other skills.
Also, theres always the option of making a throwaway alt character for testing other types of gear, 500,000 SP is enough to try out just about anything at the basic level.
even with good weapons and equipment its no guarantee you will win. its all based on how good your team is.
This game has problems but being pay to win is not one of them.
Call of Duty > Dark Souls.
its all based on how good your team is.
Unfortunately this :/
In Dust even doing the work of five people can only delay your defeat for so long, even if two other people are picking up the same slack, it'll mean absolutely dick if you don't at least have meat to soak up bullets and do an occasional kill/hack -__-''

Thats just kinda how it is in the Eve- work together or die alone. It's not a game for solo artists, sure you CAN do it - you can do anything you want, but the likelyhood of succuss and fun is much lower.
Thats Eve at least, i am a total noob to Dust, lol.

Afghanistan Debate
Australia went to war in Afghanistan nine years ago.
So you might be a bit surprised to know that pollies have only just got around to debating the pros and con's of it all.
Heading off to fight a war is usually a really complicated decision for a government to make.
So let's take a look at the arguments for and against keeping Aussie forces in Afghanistan.
NATHAN BAZLEY, REPORTER: Nothing stirs up people's emotions like war.
These protests took place in Australia 40 years ago, to call for the return of troops from the Vietnam War.
These days, the war in Afghanistan generates far fewer protesters.
But that doesn't mean most people are in favour of it.
NATHAN: Support for the war in Afghanistan has dropped in the last few years. Depending which poll you believe, between 54 and 61 percent of Australian's surveyed want the troops brought home straight away. But in parliament house, it's a different story.
When Australia was sent into the war, it was with support from both sides of politics, the Government and the Opposition.
And now, their support hasn't changed.
In parliament, there are really only a few voices against the war.
Here's a quick summary of the main reasons each side is using in their argument FOR or AGAINST the war in Afghanistan.
FOR: By fighting in Afghanistan, we can hopefully stop terrorist groups.
After the September 11 terrorist attacks, America believed those responsible were based in Afghanistan and being supported by the leaders there.
Some people believe that by fighting those in control there, terrorist groups can't rely on them for support and future attacks might be avoided.
JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER: There must be no safe haven for terrorists.
FOR: We should fight in Afghanistan because our allies, America, need our help.
When the United Sates made the decision to fight, they called on countries that were their friends for help.
Many countries promised support from their armed forces, including the UK, Germany, France, Canada and Australia.
TONY ABBOTT, OPPOSITION LEADER: A premature end to our involvement would tell the Americans and the British that Australia is an unreliable ally.
FOR: We should stay in Afghanistan to help the Afghani people.
The ruling group in Afghanistan, the Taliban, has been accused of denying basic freedoms to the Afghani people.
Some people believe that by fighting the Taliban, we could help these people gain the freedoms we enjoy here.
KID 1: The war is too dangerous and more Australians might die.
21 Australian soldiers have died since we joined the war nine years ago and over 150 have been injured.
Some people fear the Australian death toll could rise if we stay any longer.
KID 2: The Afghanistan war is costing the country too much money.
For every year the defence force is deployed in Afghanistan it costs taxpayers 1.2 billion dollars.
The total bill has already run pretty high and some people believe there are more important things we could be spending the money on.
KID 1: We shouldn't fight wars for other countries especially when it might not achieve anything.
Some people say that it's America's war not ours.
We were never attacked so they say we should have stayed out of it.
Others don't see any chance of our side being able to win the fight.
They say what's the point endangering lives if it might not do any good after all.
As you can see despite the war having the support of a majority of pollies, it's a really complex issue and one that the Australian public seem to be split on.
So while our soldiers look like they'll be there for a while yet back home the debate about why they're there may rage on for just as long.

Useless. Our troops dont have the special forces training that are required to effectively combat the afghanies since they use guerilla warfare rather than direct combat. We should fight the Afghanistan war, but its not a question of whether we should or not, but whether we are capable of actually providing any real aid.

it is my strong belief that australian soldiers should return from afghanistan because all of this fighting will not benefit Aussies.

The war is pointless no one is going to win and why should we fight Americas war. There the ones who are to blame who dragged us into the war

because they sounds like they

This war is ridiculous. We've been fighting for 9 years and we haven't really made any progress. It's like a stalemate. Idon't thinkwe should make the USA think we're unreliable by pulling out, but can't both sides call it quits and go back to normal life!

the reson were still in the war with america is because of nato.nato is a tready type of thing for example,if you fight my war i will fight in yours

i think the war should stop. no one is going to win it anyway.
potop linguana :

I think that we should keep our troops in there and see how long it will take to resolve and if takes to long they should pull them out because it is obviously pointless.
holy cow :
01 Nov 2010 3:07:49pm
I beleive that the australian troops should drop out and protect our country.=)
09 Nov 2010 6:04:46pm
We need to stay in Afghanistan so that we can stop the HIGH risk of terroism, i know that lots of people have died already in this war, but what would happen if we left Afghanistan, and terroism came to Australia? Terroists may kill hundreds maybe thousands of people in one go... Please stay in Afghanistan for Australia's sake and for the Sake of the Afghanis! They can't even watch TV, dance, make or watch movies, photography is out of bounds and so is kite-flying as well as listening to music! Thats another reason why Australias over there. The women are also extremely vulnerable as the Taliban believes they are worthless, under the Taliban's strict interpretaion of the Islamic Law, women are not allowed to work or go to school and have to be covered from head to toe. Male doctors can't even look at their female patients or touch them so they can't be diagnosed. The current situation in Afghanistan is horrible and I totally support the Aussi troops being over there.
Matt :

because it's not doing anything and it's costing us to much.

The thing is- just because Australia is leaving Afghanistan doesn't mean that America,The UK, and so on are.
But it is a necessary war.We can't leave the Taliban as it is.
Tate :
30 Oct 2010 2:20:20pm
I think the Australian soldiers should keep fighting until the war is over because if we leave and the other nations there end up surrendering to the Taliban, we could be their next target. Besides, even if the other nations do win without us, they won't think they could rely on us so they wouldn't be bothered coming if we are attacked. If the Australian soldiers leave Afghanastan there will be no way out for our Nation!

I on both sides of the arguement. The Aussie troops should just come back. We all remember the disaster of the Gallipoli campaign. If the troops stay in Afghanistan for too long then the same epidemic can happen again.
However, if the Australian troops do back out then there won't be an even more stronger army to fight against the Taliban.
Liam Richards :

America woul've helped us
pingwee :

i think that they should not be over there. people are being killed and that is not good.
Sam Turner :
29 Oct 2010 11:25:55am
I think Australia sould keep fighting.
Afganistans people and kids need us. If Australia keeps fighting terrorism will not effect Australia any more.
Thats why I think we should keep fighting Afganistan.
ben burge :
29 Oct 2010 11:24:22am
I think Australianes should keep fighting. because Afganistan atacked us. hi
matthew raison :
29 Oct 2010 11:18:35am
i think we should keep on fighting because afganistan attacked us forst and they started it and i think we should atleast try and finish it and another reason why i think we should continue is because terrase kepps on crashing palnes into our high buildings and that makes all the rock from the tall building likely to kill people and destroy roads
liverpool rule the world :
29 Oct 2010 8:04:44am
i think that we should stay in afghanistan to fight because if we leave the americans its like ditching them. if there was a war in australia, would you want the americans to help us or not? would you want them to ditch us in our time of need?
Triple E :
29 Oct 2010 7:58:25am
I think that it is a hard debate to decide on as there are very good points to both sides of hr debate. On one hand you want them to come back as it was never our war to fight but on the other hand you want them to stay so we can know that America would help us if we were in trouble as we helped them.
Connor Eldridge :
29 Oct 2010 7:26:44am
I think our troops should stay in Afghanistan because imagine if there was a war here in Australia. We would want as much help as possible. So its good to Afghanistan on our good side as an Ally.
Sybro :
28 Oct 2010 10:03:26pm
I think that the australians soldiers should go to Afghanistan because, it could be the only way on trying to stop the terroists from attacking.However it is true that 21 soldiers have already died.
Mr. Mysterious :
28 Oct 2010 9:52:33pm
i just don't get why people have wars. I think Australians should stay because the U.S.A. helps us most of the times and the more there are, the better chance we can defeat those Afghanies!!!=D
mehran :
28 Oct 2010 8:44:53pm
i think Australian army forces should stay in Afghanistan because australia is going achive somting again like ww1'ww2 vietnam war ect.
Georgia K :
28 Oct 2010 8:36:01pm
I think they should stay and fight and support the americans.
Georgia Saylor :
28 Oct 2010 7:25:33pm
no because alot of our countries people are dying and mums and dads are dying and kids dont have any parents to cook or take them to school
hollywood :

I think the Australian troops should come home.
Tim and Tasha :
27 Oct 2010 7:30:28pm
We should stay in Afghanistan. If we don't the Taliban will take over the Karzai government.
Then they will provide a safe haven for Al Qaieda.
27 Oct 2010 2:17:32pm
I think they should keep the australian soliders in the afganistan war since we already started and our allies need our help
27 Oct 2010 1:26:33pm
America would help us if we were in a war
Lin and Winnie :
27 Oct 2010 11:46:24am
The war is very terrible,so many people are dead and people's lives have been damaged . The US led this war and I think other countries shouldn't join the war.
Sergio :
27 Oct 2010 11:39:32am
Sometimes war is necessary, but not in this case!
Caroline :
27 Oct 2010 7:08:43am
I think we should bring the Australians home because I don't think fighting is the way to solve anything. Plus 21 Australians have already died.
Loopy Lu :
26 Oct 2010 5:17:35pm
I am on both sides of the argument. They should go to prevent terroists and to make our reputation good. They should'nt because we should'nt have to go through this and It is costing Australia heaps
Alex :
26 Oct 2010 3:58:49pm
I think that the Aussie troops in Afghanistan should continue to fight. It would be a miracle when the Taliban fall because they've caused so much suffering and killed so many people.
natasha :
26 Oct 2010 2:52:04pm
I aggree auzzie shouldn't have to fight for the Afganies we should help them but not fight their wars 4 them
Aaron Slape :
26 Oct 2010 2:15:47pm
I think that the people from afghanistan should stay at the war and fight. I think this because if we just let our guard down the terrorist attacks will threaten us again.

Retarded story. The protagonist doesn't remotely resemble Harry Potter, just a lazy as fuck excuse not to build a backstory. The author seems intent on dragging down other races to Harry's own levels of stupidity so he can win through magical Mary Sue powers, its just fucking pathetic all round.

Vacation Bible School set at Trinity Lutheran
Trinity Lutheran Church has invited children age 4 through fifth grade to its "Weird Animals" Vacation Bible School on Aug. 11-15 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The program teaches kids about the love of God through humorous interactions with "weird animals." Each day, children will rotate through several stations, including singing, games, storytelling and crafts. They finish the morning with group worship.
Mission projects are a big part of Trinity's Vacation Bible School. This year, children will collect money to construct a water tower at a school in Tanzania.
Trinity's weeklong event is open to all children, regardless of their faith. Cost is $45, but scholarships are available. To register, visit www.TrinityLC.org and click on "Register" at the bottom of the screen or call Kristin Tranby at 651-439-7400 ext. 120.
St. Andrew's names names new pastor
Members of St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi last month voted to call the Rev. Michael Carlson to be their lead pastor.
Carlson will begin his work at St. Andrew's in mid-August and will be installed in a celebration service on Sept. 21.
Carlson served St. Andrew's as executive pastor for more than six years before accepting a brief call as senior pastor of Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake. Among his accomplishments during his time at St. Andrew's, Carlson was instrumental in launching the Community Resource Center, which provides assistance such as emergency shelter, job search, counseling, and more.

*Management is very hands off with employees and places a lot of trust in everyone in the team.
*Work hours are pretty flexible and people are allowed to work from home.
*Leader in the product space of application security
*Products are excellent and used in many important parts of the world
*Very casual work environment (at least in San Mateo headquarters)
*Nice office space at headquarters in San MateoCons
*There isn't a lot of room for advancement since it is a small company. Most people stay in the same role for many years. People have left due to the stagnation in career advancement.
*There can be crunch time close to release where people work on weekends and nights
*No 401k matching
*Bonus/compensation changes are unclear
*Lack of a solid standardized process, but this is improving.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Make bonus/raises policies more clear. Current yearly evaluation system is not very transparent.RecommendsApproves of CEO

- Fortify keeps engineering teams small and effective. Everyone owns a major part of a product and has high impact and high visibility.
- Very exciting and innovative products. You get to see how real-world static analysis tools work.
- Work with incredibly smart people.
- Large bonuses for exceptional work.
- Great positive impact. You get to see how your work helps major companies and institutions around the world become more secure.Cons
- Very fast paced environment; it's not a relaxed atmosphere.
- Growing pains as we get out of start-up mode.Advice to ManagementAdvice
As we grow, try to keep the small company feel for as long as possible. Yes to meritocracy, no to politics.RecommendsApproves of CEO
