Israeli Attacks Kill 2 in Gaza TunnelsPosted on May 2, 2009
Two Palestinians were killed Saturday during Israeli airstrikes on tunnels between Gaza and Egypt that Israel says are used to bring supplies and weapons into Gaza—the first such air raids in two months, according to Al Jazeera English.

By Shingo, May 6, 2009 at 3:40 pm Link to this comment Robert, I couldn't agree more. I wish there were more Michel Samberg's around to smack down, but even then, there are only so many hours in the day. Now and then I come across a blogs were a Samberg fellow traveller appears, getting away with spreading the archetypcal BS with no one to refute them. Having said that, they are so easily frightened off aren't they? You might remember that cretin Howard? Haven't seem much of him lately have we? There's that shill Jason who posts a hit and run entry now and then, but since I smacked him around, he's shied away from actual debate. I also think that whereas in the past, these propaghandists got away with accusing others of anti-Semitism, it no longer has the same effect. The accusation has become synonimous with patriotism - the last refuge of a scourdrel. You have to hand it to Sepharad. At least Sepharad has stuck around to face the music and even shown some degree of moderation. The sae goes for ITW. Report this
By Folktruther, May 6, 2009 at 2:13 pm Link to this comment Israel is stepping up the repression of Jewish dissident opposed to Zionist brutality. Ezra Nawi, a Jesish Israeli, and ex-Israeli soldier, was recently arrested for trying to stop the police from blowing up Palestinian homes. He was arrested by the police squad, tried and conviced for 'assaulting a policeman' in Israeli courts that resemble US courts, and is being sent to an Israeli prison. 21 Jewish anti-draft resisters were also recently arrested. Israeli is now in the process of destroying more Palestinian homes to erect 2 hundred thousand settler homes to add to the half million settlers. Since the US-Israel is now bent on ethnic cleansing without even a pretense of a two state solution, the brutality will get worse and the lying about among Zionists routine. As Zionism gets more isolated historically, the only solution they can attempt is violence. And the only justification is lies. They will be told intelligently and personably in the US by Obama.

By Robert, May 6, 2009 at 9:28 am Link to this comment SIDEBAR "A Letter to My Fellow Jews—By David Glick What, I ask, has come of us? "There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza," say Israeli leaders Simon Peres and Tzipi Livni. Have we, who historically have been subjected to such horrific prejudice, persecution and even genocide, become so callous that we are now morally blind to the violence and oppression that Israel is inflicting on the people of Palestine, a large number of whom are innocent civilians? We, who once were the victims of the Nazi genocide, which murdered six million Jews while the world was silent, have now become the perpetrators of violence. After the experience of the Holocaust, "never again" quite understandably meant that we Jews would never again allow ourselves to be so vulnerable that we would go to slaughter like lambs to the kill. But "never again" must never be the sole possession of the Jewish people. That cry belongs to the world—to all who suffer under the boot of an oppressor who visits violence and death upon them. It is the great tragedy of the Palestinian people that they are the victims of victims. Consequently the crimes and suffering they have endured have gone unacknowledged by all those who disingenuously use the Holocaust to justify whatever Israel does as self-defense. That manipulative use of the Holocaust desecrates the memory of all those who perished in the ghastly inferno of that Nazi hell. The killing of innocent civilians is deplorable, whether by Hamas rockets or Israeli fighter planes and helicopter gunships. But let's be honest. Enough of the lies and self-deceptions. Israel's aggression against Gaza is not a legitimate act of self-defense. The rockets being fired upon Israel are an understandable, if regrettable, act of resistance born of the despair of an ongoing illegal and barbaric occupation that is at the heart of the conflict. Israel argues that it evacuated Gaza two years ago only to have Hamas rockets rain down upon its civilian population. But let's be honest. Israel imposed a ruthless siege on Gaza after Hamas, like it or not, won a fair and honest election monitored by international observers. In response Israel turned Gaza into a virtual open-air prison by totally sealing off its borders and cutting off supplies of food, water, medicine and electricity. Israel's recent bombing and invasion have magnified that crisis into what the U.N. has called a humanitarian disaster with a dreadful loss of life and limb among Palestinians. In this latest assault, Israel lost 13 soldiers, while killing more than 1,300 Palestinians and seriously wounding 5,300, among which were more than 400 children. Israel's collective punishment of the people of Gaza, its excessive, disproportionate use of force, and its indiscriminate bombing of civilians are war crimes under the Geneva Convention. We Jews who criticize Israel do so out of the values of our Jewish moral heritage. It is high time that we Jews reach back and embrace our proud tradition of social justice and honestly admit to ourselves that the Zionist enterprise, in its urgency to find a sanctuary, made the Palestinians pay the price for Europe's anti-Semitism and the horrible crimes committed against us prior to and during the Holocaust. Palestinians could not understand why they had to give up their homeland to remedy something for which they were not responsible. And so one tragedy was heaped upon another. Let us be big enough to acknowledge this reality and ask the Palestinians for their understanding and forgiveness, and in return genuinely commit to seek as just a remedy as possible." Report this

What's he gonna do now? ****************** Shingo, I think that "Mechel Samberg" is puzzled & unsettled by the response that he has received from TD's bloggers. I am sure that he did NOT expect most of it and certainly was NOT used to it. Most likely that he has been posting on other forum/sites with almost NO replies or refutes to his Zionist propaganda. Shingo…TD needs people like Michel Samberg to post here; it helps expose how much these "US" zionist propagandists have been brainwashed & infected with their racist ideology of Zionism. Most likely that sepharad has e-mailed Samberg by now and gave him some advice regarding the sinking hole that he gotten himself in. Mechel Samberg…if you haven't heard of Ilan Pappe, the Israeli historian, then google his name or one of his books "The Ethnic Cleansing Of Palestine", I would like to suggest to you to perform a google search. Ilan Pappe and the Nakba Deniers The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine By JOHN WHITBECK "For anyone who possesses a strong stomach and an equally strong desire to know the truth, I strongly recommend Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's new book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine", which makes painstakingly and painfully clear the extent to which the expulsion of the great majority of Palestinians from their homes and homeland between 1947 and 1949 (an expulsion absolutely essential to create a "Jewish state" in a country where, in 1947, the population was still 70% Muslim and Christian and these non-Jews still owned 94% of the land) was meticulously planned, programmed and documented, ruthlessly carried out and, thereafter, efficiently covered up, sanitized, erased from minds and memories and, to the extent necessary, denied. Pappe also makes clear that the cleansing spirit and cleansing practices have continued ever since, with public discussion in Israel of the "demographic threat" posed by those Palestinians still remaining in Palestinian never more openly conducted and with a recent poll showing 68% of Israeli Jews in favor of expelling all Palestinian citizens of Israel."

By Louise, May 5, 2009 at 10:04 pm Link to this comment You are correct, and I apologize, it was such a great line. However for those who base their whole existance on teachings from the Holy Books, as interpretated by their contemporaries, the enmity between the descendents of Ishmael and Isaac is sighted as the origin of history's enmity between the Muslims, Christians and Jews. Or perhaps better stated, the enmity between their mothers, which apparently was a real problem for Abraham. Mothers tell stories to their young and over time the stories become legend and eventually are retold as fact. History is full of such examples, in every culture, on every continent and in every religion, going back to the earliest recorded history. Few if any women can truly share their husbands. And fewer still will accept losing without a fight, what they percieve as their sons rightful heritage. Now I'll probably have women coming down on me! My only defense is I am one and I know I would fight for what I thought was right, if I thought my son had been wronged. All the same, given the established age of those three religions, laid against the alleged age of Abraham and his sons, I suspect there really isn't anyone who knows exactly what happened in all those centuries between.

However, you lost me regarding what you said in your last paragraph, "now, just as back in the days of Abraham when his sons Ishmael and Isaac fought for control of that promised land, their descendants fight on." The history I know, from primary sources, (other than the distorted Jewish sources) is that Ishmael, though born in Palestine, was moved along with his mother as an infant to the vicinity of what is now Mecca, near the Ka'bah, and lived there preaching monotheism as a Prophet for the rest of his life. He never moved back to Palestine and he never fought against Isaac for control of that promised land. His father Abraham used to make frequent visit to him and his mother, and it was during one of these visits that they both re-built the ruined Ka'bah in Mecca as a symbol of monotheism. This is why Muslims, when they go to perform pilgrimage as one of the pillars of their faith, actually commemorate the struggle of Ishmael mother Hager, to raise him as a single parent and they further commemorate the triumph of Monotheism in Arabia at the hands of the father/son's rebuilding of the Ka'bah. From you comment above, I now realize how the Biblical narratives prevalent in the Christian West express only half-truths at best and distorted history at worse! And I don't blame you for that since you are neither a historian nor an eye witness to remote events rooted in antiquity. I guess you say what you're taught from one selective perspective. Based on the full narratives of history, the myth that the current strife between Arab-Muslims and Jews has been going on since the time of the sons of Abraham is a big propaganda line. The current dispute in the Holy Land originated with the creation of Zionism in the late 19th century and the circumstances of the evils of WWI and WWII. Report this
By Shingo, May 5, 2009 at 2:04 pm Link to this comment Thank you Lousie for taking the time to educate our ignorant Zionist friend. Everythig you said is suported by a recent (best seller of all things) historical book that debunks the failrytale of the Jewish Diaspora. When and How Was the Jewish People Invented?, a book by Tel Aviv University scholar Shlomo Zand (or Sand) that sent shockwaves across Israeli society when it was published last year. Zand's central argument is that the Romans didn't expel whole nations from their territories. Zand estimates that perhaps 10,000 ancient Judeans were vanquished during the Roman wars, and the remaining inhabitants of ancient Judea remained, converting to Islam and assimilating with their conquerors when Arabs subjugated the area. They became the progenitors of today's Palestinian Arabs, many of whom now live as refugees who were exiled from their homeland during the 20th century. In other words, the Palestinians were the original Judeians the most of the so called "Jews" are imposters who adopted the Jewish religion. As Israeli journalist Tom Segev summarized, in a review of the book in Ha'aretz: "There never was a Jewish people, only a Jewish religion, and the exile also never happened—hence there was no return. Zand rejects most of the stories of national-identity formation in the Bible, including the exodus from Egypt and, most satisfactorily, the horrors of the conquest under Joshua." Contrary to popular belief, Zand argues that Judaism was an evangelical religion that actively sought out new adherents during its formative period. Report this
By Louise, May 5, 2009 at 10:28 am Link to this comment mech'elsamberg, "I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern day "Palestinians" to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology for history won't work here." ~~~ OK, that one cracked me up! The reference/title Palestine was determined by the British Mandate of Palestine, in 1922 and included all the land lying to the west of the Jordan River; that is, all of what is now Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip. The term "Palestinian" referred to all people residing there, regardless of race or religion. Those granted citizenship, were granted "Palestinian citizenship". That included descendents of Judah who were there. For the most part Palestinians got along fine until the Russian and European refugees began to arrive. "... anyone with roots in the land that is now Israel, the West Bank and Gaza is technically a Palestinian ..." In other words, any Jew in Israel today, who descends from a jewish citizen in British mandated Palestine, is technically a Palestinian. Chew on that for a while. The name Palestine didn't come out of thin air! Historically Romans refered to the coastal area below the Jordan River as Palaestina. The name denoted an area as opposed to a government or nation and hung on right up through the nineteenth century when the area refered to as Palestine was defined as extending from the sea to the caravan route. Or as extending from the sea to the desert. Etymology will only carry so far. There are other issues, namely the use of etymology by those who believe, and want the rest of the world to believe, that all those refugees who claim to be descendents of the Tribe of Judah are racially pure. But more than that, want the rest of the world to believe that they are in their entirety Israel and fully and only able to claim to be Israel in it's entirety. That's simply not the case. That they, (or whoever chose to name their settlement in the land of Palestine, Israel) chose the name Israel, implies that ALL the descendents from ALL the tribes of Israel are welcome there. And that would be just about everyone in the world. At least according to the word of the Bible. Abraham's son Isaac, had a son Jacob (who was renamed Israel), who had 12 sons (from whom came The Twelve Tribes Of Israel), one of which was Judah, from whom came the Jews. The first "Jew" was Judah, Abraham's great-grandson. So what of all those other sons and grandsons and great grandsons? What of all those other descendents of Abraham and Israel? God promised Jacobs great grand-father Abraham, "All the land that you can see" and that his seed would be "like the dust of the earth" in number. A promise made to ALL of Abrahams descendents! In other words, please avoid the temptation of assigning those who believe themselves to be direct descendents from the tribe of Judah the daunting task of being all of Israel, or exclusively entitled to the promise God made to Abraham. That's not historically acurate. That's no Biblically accurate. That's not entymologically acurate. And, that's not nice. No wonder they have so much trouble hanging on to what they think is exclusively theirs! When you-all grow up enough to realize, entitlement to eternal marterdom is not necessarily a goal worth fighting and dying for, perhaps we'll finally see peace in the Middle East. But I doubt that will happen in my life-time. Old habits die hard. Now, just as back in the days of Abraham when his sons Ishmael and Isaac fought for control of that promised land, their descendents fight on. Battles have taken place within yards of what is believed to be Abraham's grave. (located in Hebron in Palestine) I wonder what he would say to his descendents if he were to wake one day and walk outside. "For shame! Still you two will not get along!" Report this

Mr. Meshal did not offer to revoke the charter, but said it was 20 years old, adding, "We are shaped by our experiences." "We are with a state on the 1967 borders, based on a long-term truce. This includes East Jerusalem, the dismantling of settlements and the right of return of the Palestinian refugees." Asked what "long-term" meant, he said 10 years. Apart from the time restriction and the refusal to accept Israel's existence, Mr. Meshal's terms approximate the Arab League peace plan and what the Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas says it is seeking. Israel rejects a full return to the 1967 borders, as well as a Palestinian right of return to Israel itself. Regarding recognition of Israel, Mr. Meshal said the Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat and Mr. Abbas had granted such recognition, but to no avail. "Did that recognition lead to an end of the occupation? It's just a pretext by the United States and Israel to escape dealing with the real issue and to throw the ball into the Arab and Palestinian court," he said. "Not firing the rockets currently is part of an evaluation from the movement which serves the Palestinians' interest. After all, the firing is a method, not a goal. Resistance is a legitimate right, but practicing such a right comes under an evaluation by the movement's leaders." He said his group was eager for a cease-fire with Israel and for a deal that would return an Israeli soldier it is holding captive, Cpl. Gilad Shalit, in exchange for many Palestinian prisoners.

No they have just woken up tot ehg racist, facsit and terrorist nature of Israel. >> If you are so sure that " Palestine , the country, goes back through most of recorded history," I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine : Very obvious attemtp to derail the argument. The notion fo a state is a Wester invention. There were no "contries" in the Arab Peninsula and Middle Wast until the British Empire created arbitrary borders to delineate them. What has always existed is the concept of land and land ownership. >> 1. When was it founded and by whom? What does it matter? >> 2. What were its borders? Where are Israel's borders? >> 3. What was its capital? What is Israel's Capital;? tel Avib or Jersualem? >> 4. What were its major cities? Ask Moshe Dayan. Most of them don't exist anymore becasue Israel destroyed them and built Israel town and cities in their place. When Israel was created, Arabs were title holders to 50% of the Land and Jews 7%. The only way to create a Jewish state was to enthncially cleanse the Arabs off the land. >> 5. What constituted the basis of its economy? Agriculture and merchants. >> 6. What was its form of government? http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2009/01/a-land-without-a-people.html >> 7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat? http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2009/01/a-land-without-a-people.html >> 8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? Until the British created their arbitrary borders, there were no countries in the Middle East. The UN Resolution and Balfour Delcarration called for the land to be shared between the Arabs and the Jews. The Jews wanted a Jewish state, which mean driving out the Arabs. 9. What was the language of the country of Palestine ? There were a number of languaged. Arabic was one of them. http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2009/01/a-land-without-a-people.html When? Before or After the Ottoman Empire? Report this

Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date. Irrelevant. What was the Jordanian or Eg\yptian currency at the time? >> 12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? It started in 1948 with thge ethnic cleasing of 700-800 thousand Arab from the land and has continnued to this day. >> You are lamenting the "low sinking" of a "once proud" nation. Please tell me, when exactly was that "nation" proud and what was it so proud of? They look pretty proud to me or does this look like a land wihout a people? http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2009/01/a-land-without-a-people.html >> And here is the least sarcastic question of all: If the people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over—or thrown out of—the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War? Rubbish. The Palestinians were fofered an independent state buthe British in retprun for driving out the Ottoman Empire. >> I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern day "Palestinians" to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology for history won't work here. Why? becasue it is inconvenient? It's a historical fact. On th other hand, the Jewish link to the land has beenlong debunked. >> Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying Israel ; they still cherish it today. Lie. 22 Arab countries have offerded a peace tretry which recpognizes Israel as per the 1967 broider and to normalize relations with Isrsel, Israel has rejected the offer. >> How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to unconditionally accept back the "West Bank" and Gaza , respectively? Rubbsih. Those 22 Arabs states include Jordan and Egypt. >> The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza, Judea, and Samaria have much less claim to nationhood than that Indian tribe that successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a tax-exempt casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated them. Not a fact a lie. The Arabs have been there for thousand fo years. Arab towns like Jericho date back before the creation fo Judaism. >> The so-called "Palestinians" have only one motivation: the destruction of Israel , and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them a nation That's just a racist lie usex to defend the indefensible. >> In fact, there is only one way to achieve peace in the Middle East . Arab countries must acknowledge and accept their defeat in their war against Israel and, as the losing side should, pay Israel reparations for the more than 50 years of devastation they have visited on it.

By Louise, May 4, 2009 at 7:41 am Link to this comment Shalom Aleichem Aleichem Shalom Salaam 'Alaykum. Alaykum As-Salaam, Words with meaning often spoken without meaning, like "Hi how are you?" And the "Fine thanks" response. Since few if any really want to know how the other is, and even fewer trust enough to answer honestly. Cultural habits, or demographic patterns. Religious custom or geographic location. All influenced by and subject to the oft repeated words as acknowledgement, but all to often said without heartfelt meaning. Deep in the soul of every living thing is a desire to be, and to be seen. A desire to love, and be loved. Perhaps someday we as a society of man will actually become wise enough to understand the word peace has no meaning if the intent of the word is not fully ingrained in our hearts, minds and souls, followed by honest commitment to make it so. Until that day "peace" will continue to be a simple word. A word universally understood, universally repeated and all to often universally ignored, other than to say it as though the saying alone will make it so. All across the world there are Jews, Muslims and Christians living side by side in communities where "community" and living side by side is the more important functionaing reality. Where wise parents and children understand the concept of community. Where to preserve the whole preserves their respective place in it. It is possible and it does happen. So how come that has been almost impossible in that small land called Israel, ever since it was decided Israel needed to be created by man? Perhaps that's the answer. Perhaps an honest examination of history will reveal, when mankind plays God, nothing works out quite right. Perhaps it's time mankind stop trying to second guess God and focus on the gifts of intelligence and understanding that God gave us. Focus on trying to play at being the best mankind can be. The kind of people who see themselves as having value as individual beings in the larger scope of all being. Perhaps then mankind can truly understand the call to love one another as we love ourselves. Then we wont simply say peace, we will live peace. "And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying) Salaamun 'Aleykum (peace be upon you) for you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!" (Ar-Ra'ad 13:23-24) So long as we allow people to play God, to sacrifice the blood of their innocent children on the alter of their own greed, there own selfish need, there will be no peace on earth. I suspect if there is a God, he/she must weep eternally for the foolishness of mankind. Most especially those who have determined they are the favored of God. Because if that is so, there are maxims in all the holy books that tell man, to those who have been given the most, the most is expected from them in return. So perhaps if we are going to judge, without expecting ro be judged in return, we need to see the need to give the most. We being those who in our most excellent conceit believe we are "chosen".

As Joel Bakan succinctly stated "The problem was especially pressing because, with economic globalization in full swing, corporations were emerging as global governing institutions, dominating societies and governments throughout the world. At the same time, most people had, and have, very little understanding of their true institutional nature. So it made sense to ask: What is the nature of this new governing institution? What are the consequences of its growing hold on society?

What's the fun of having a prison if you cant abuse the prisoners? Ask Cheney ... no fun at all.

Microsoft has been getting itself in a further spot of patent bother, just a week after its defeat against i4i, this time losing out to maker of realtime communications security technology VirnetX Holding Corp.
VirnetX alleged back in a February 2007 lawsuit that Microsoft nicked two of its US patents, including virtual private network technology in Microsoft's Windows and Office communication server products. As is the way with Microsoft, it requested a re-examination late last year, December 2009.
A jury suggested that Microsoft pay out $105.8 million for infringing on the private network VirnetX technology March of this year. However, VirnetX went a step further in the same month and alleged infringement of the patents in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
Now it seems that Microsoft is being ordered to dole out the dosh as a settlement to VirnetX. VirnetX's shares hit 22 percent premarket to $7.49 - meaning stock in the company has doubled this year.
Microsoft pays out $200 million for patent infringement

Apparently Uwe Boll's Postal, the film version of the shooter game, in fact came out in 13 theatres last week, which is slightly better than the reported and confirmed by Boll number of 4.
The trouble is the actual amount that it grossed is most likely going to remain a mystery. Boll's self-distribution model hasn't released any numbers and it's not because they're record setting on the plus side.
Our official TheFeed guesstimation for Postal's opening weekend is somewhere between $5 and $24, although Boll, in a moment of PR bravado, said he would best Indy 4's opening numbers back in April. Indy got $311,000,000 on 9,500 screens. So... yeah.

At the beginning of June, Undead Labs released their first game as a studio, State of Decay. Their goal? To deliver the game zombie fans have always wanted and let players test their zombie survival skills. There has been quite a few zombie games in the last few years and the Seattle based developer aims to climb to the top of the genre.
The big area where State of Decay sets itself apart is that you aren't tied to just one protagonist. Instead you work within a community of survivors trying to fight back against the looming apocalypse. If a character dies in the midst of the chaos, they are gone for good. This feature alone goes a long way to creating tension and forcing you to think before you act. The game blends many different genres successfully to create a challenging and immersive experience.
The game features various RPG elements, you improve skills by killing zombies, searching for supplies and even running. Zombies don't see so well, but they have ears like you wouldn't believe. Running, ruffling though closets, car engines and gun shots can attract more of the undead.
Stealth plays a large part throughout game, it is key to avoid larger groups of zombies. Even if a character's skills are leveled to the max, a group of 4 or more zombies can lead to an untimely end. Pairing that with the RPG features and that death is permanent translates into very real consequences for every mistake you make.
The game world is surprising large, although there are some pop in issues with the draw distances. The most impressive part is that once the game is up and running there are no load times and every floor of every building can be searched. There are some clipping issues in certain places of the game where zombies will walk through doors and fall through floors, but it is a rare occurrence.
There is a lot of strategy involved with managing resources and the members of your community. Sometimes events can seem to pile up and be a little overwhelming if not handled in a timely fashion. As you start to strengthen your community and master various aspects of the combat, State of Decay is very satisfying.
The story isn't very strong and just about all of the characters are extremely bland, the star of the game is the situation itself. Anyone looking for The Last of Us level of voice acting and plot will probably be disappointed. The strength of State of Decay is in it's simulation like gameplay. It sounds silly when you say it to yourself, but this game feels like what a zombie apocalypse would actually be like.
State of Decay does many things right, but some of it's technical issues can detract from the overall experience, the pop-in is the worst of it. I've played through the game twice and can say that at $20, it's value is undeniable. The random nature and unpredictable enemy placement keeps the game from getting stale and adds tons of replay value. If you like zombies and own a Xbox 360 or you just enjoy a good challenge, you need to play this game. As an arcade title and exclusive for Xbox, there is a lot of potential for this IP to grow into something more.

We strive to keep our space dedicated to art, music and inspiration...where visitors can enjoy a uniquely decorated apartment that is a mere 15-minute walk to the American Falls and the Rainbow Bridge to Canada. With a valid passport, you can cross the bridge and enjoy the Canadian Falls as well.
Guests have the luxury of enjoying the entire downstairs flat with two bedrooms (one queen, one full bed), a full kitchen and private bath and entry. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, accessible to the local bus lines, you can often hear the roar of the Falls early in the morning. An assortment of teas and coffee are always available for you in the kitchen. Feel free to cook in-house, or bring back some local delicacies to enjoy. We provide a continental breakfast each day before you venture out to sightsee.
A local wine bar just three short blocks away offers fine food, great wine selection and occasional live music. Niagara's new culinary school offers upscale cuisine and the wait staff is eager to please. There are several local and ethnic restaurants, a liquor store, a post office and convenience store within walking distance. If you're feeling lucky, the Seneca Niagara Casino is a five-minute walk away.
Expect Friday and Sunday fireworks, viewable on an evening walk, frequent summer street festivals or free concerts in the historic Falls district sponsored frequently by The Hard Rock Cafe near the Falls.
You will enjoy your privacy when occupying this entire apartment which is also a perfect venue for musical concerts, photo shoots, family get-togethers, or just a beautiful, peaceful resting spot during your visit to the Mighty Niagara Falls. We are available to chat or answer your questions, and we are LGBT and pet friendly. There is street parking right in front of our place and we offer free WiFi.

Sheila's abode was nothing short of magical... The French decor and intricate details really made last weekend memorable for me and my girlfriend. Sheila was a gracious hostess and even prepared breakfast for us and was extremely informative about the neighborhood. I look forward to visiting again soon!
Unfortunately, our stay has been delayed due to family emergency. Sheila has made this delay easy and has been most gracious. I look forward to our eventual stay.
Where can I start? It was just a awsome time at sheila's place!! We was all fall in live with her beautiful apartment and we was so warm welcome that we all wish we can stay longer to be at this beautiful and lovley place. It was just feel like we are at home. Thank you sheila!
Sheila's property was right adjacent to Niagara Falls (from US side). The house was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable, and she offered to provide additional air mattress as well. Too bad we couldn't try out Sheila's special breakfast due to time constraint. We enjoyed the stay. Thanks for hosting us!
Very nice place, very comfortable. Our hosts left a log to burn in the firepkace and were very friendly. Convienently located, just a short walk from the Rainbow Bridge and a delucious pizza place, recommended by our hosts.
We arrived in the evening to stay one night with Sheila. Although we told her we would be there at a certain time, a few pit stops down the road delayed us but she was very accomodating to help us meet up with her. Upon arrival she gave us a lowdown of the city with a map and helpful directions as well as a tour of her lovely home with a batch of warm coookies in the kitchen she had baked for us. She also offered to make us breakfast and if so what time (the breakfast was amazing!!!) After the tour we went down to the falls and took photos as well as ate at one of the restaurants recommended. The house is so close to the falls! The location did look at bit shady but we had no issues walking around. The place is very cozy and felt very romantic for myself and my travel companion. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting the falls and may just have to travel there again to see tgis place
We stay in this amazing place for 2 days, we love the place and Sheila is the best host I met.
This was a lovely place to stay! The apartment was clean and elegantly yet comfortably decorated. Sheila was a great host, she offered information yet was not intrusive. She also was very responsive and understanding when I needed something. It also was super close the amazing Falls.
I had to cancel my stay at the last minute, so I'm not able to rate The Vintage Whinery, but Sheila was very responsive and communicative during all of the coordination of the rental. If that is any indication of her home, then I'm sure it is wonderful.
Thanks Sheila. I will keep your place in mind when I'm visiting the falls this spring.
The reservation was canceled 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Safe and happy travels.

I am careful everywhere. Beijing also has talented pickpockets and beggars .
I'll be in Florence for 5 nights
470 steps in nothing - the Great Wall is much more...I plan to climb to the top of the Duomo for sure!
Sure. It's here.
Glad you said that. I've climbed on the Great Wall twice. At least the steps in the Duomo are a lot more uniform. The dome is actually two domes, one inside the other, you actually go through the two domes. This was done to give it strength with less weight. Towards the top, in the cupola, it gets a little more difficult, if you're tall. As the dome curves, so does the ceiling. And getting out onto the platform around the campanile is a bit tight - basically a trap door. I've done it twice, loved it! One thing that is interesting, is to look at the perspective of the dome frescoes from the floor and then from the loggia level. You rarely get to see the intentional distortion, up close. As much as Brunelleschi's genius construction of the dome is amazing, Vasari's frescoes are equally amazing.
Have a wonderful time. I am so jealous! Will you keep your blog updated while you travel?
If you want to have a look, here's my photo album from Florence, when vacationing with my hubby in September 2010 : http://www.mgrecords.ch/Florence_2010/
Have a wonderful, wonderful trip!
"'Is this new BMW-designed sled the ultimate sledding machine for Langdon and Holcomb?' Leigh Diffey asked before the pair cruised to victory. I dont know, but I know that sled is the ultimate Olympic Games product placement.." -- Jen Chaney
Why? I usually do the opposite and that's just in Beijing! In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't weight that much and if I don't want to take it around, I can always leave it at the hotel. Why do you think I'll regret taking it?
Thank you!
Only because it's fragile and you'll have to carry it. I always regret bringing my Nikon and lenses. A smaller, purse sized camera is so much easier. But, if you won't mind schlepping it, you should bring it.
Bon Voyage
May you have the best holiday ever!
My travel and adventure blog http://alisonanddon.wordpress.com
Bon Voyage Angelskates.. Italy will always be my favourite vacation place and take all your camera gear as you will want to take amazing pics.. a year later I'm still enjoying all the pictures we took on our digital album that plays all the time in our living room..
Have a great time..
Thanks to PI .. I discovered I'm actually a Nontheist
"Love is better than Anger, Hope is better than fear" Jack Layton 1950-2011
After a delay in Munich, I am here! The hotel is really well located, comfie bed and great shower. I've been really sick today so haven't explored much yet. Updated my website and am now resting for another hour or so before going out to lunch and exploring!
I'm having dinner at Trastevere tomorrow night and Castelli Romani Saturday
Most disappointing thing (aside from being sick!) was that I didn't get an Italia stamp in my passport!!
In Italy, you have to ask for a stamp.
I hope you feel better. Did you bring antibiotics, just in case? I went to Paris a few years ago, shortly after having oral surgery. My doctor insisted that I take antibiotics, in case I got an infection. Well, my teeth were fine, but I wound up with a fever, swollen glands and a sore throat, the first day. It was fortuitous that I had the meds, and Advil, felt better in a day or so. Now, I bring them with me if I leave the country.
I hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy your vacation.
If this is to end in fire
Then we will all burn together
I guess since Europe has no money, this is saving ink. Who am I to argue?
Thanks, I am feeling better. REALLY tired, but better. I did not bring antibiotics, I am not allowed to take medications without a doctor's actual supervision since I am already on medications and have several health issues and no health insurance. I would never take antibiotics without an appointment to see a doctor.
Today I had a lot of fun getting lost. I found a lot of cool stuff, some really famous (the Spanish Steps, St. Peter's Basilica etc.) and some not (all the food I ate, some cool doors and windows) and the Google Maps helped me find my way back to the hotel.
I want to photograph EVERYTHING - I've taken 324 photos already! I can't imagine not having digital I am very glad I brought the extra zoom.
Tomorrow I am going to the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica on a morning tour. I'm going to Travestere for dinner with my friend and some of her friends.
The hardest thing so far: remembering they don't speak Chinese and remembering to flush toilet paper. It's also weird to have cars stop to let pedestrians cross at the zebra crossings! In China, they're just road decorations A lot of things remind me a of Beijing, or not so much remind me, but I have noticed similarities - the importance of elaborate doors, attention to details (especially in roofs), the magazine stands...
Welcome to Italy
A grumpy Canadian will always be nicer than a polite Milanese
Thanks ping, where in Italy are you? (Sorry if I've already asked). It was funny when I arrived in Rome - the first sign I was was "Welcome to Rome" written in Chinese with a big picture of the Colosseum!

It is a synthetic AI
But it exists in some mammals
So both
It is a synthetic AI
But it exists in some mammals
So both
Amino-IV - Not Your Average Amino
SELECT Protein - Ultra-Premium Blend
ALPHAMINE - Thermogenics...Redefined
Would you mind clarifying that a little bit more. I was always under the impression it was all natural. Does it have something to do with taking the natural ingredient and altering it a little thus technically making it synthetic? Kind of like the different forms of carnitines? Thanks in advance.
Creatine, Beta Alanine, DMAA, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and about 90% of all supplements are all made synthetically.
It is synthesized in the lab but can be found in nature, like pretty much any other non-extracted DSHEA-compliant ingredient.
PES - Get Enhanced
The above is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinion of PES
This topic always amused me. Black holes are "natural". Certain poisons are "natural". What makes "natural" better than "synthetic"? Are humans not natural beings with intelligence who make a product with reactions that occur naturally derived and created with our cleverness? The idea of a natural product is one of the biggest marketing ploys ever lol

The domain seizures by the U.S. Government in November hit the sites affected badly, reducing their traffic to a trickle overnight. One of the sites, BitTorrent meta-search engine Torrent-Finder, is refusing to throw in the towel and shows how futile the seizure was. In addition to taking legal action to hopefully recover his .COM domain, the owner has been working hard using Google tools to regain lost traffic.
Back in November when the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized more than 80 domain names of sites they claim were infringing copyright, the effect on their traffic was instant and massive.
With their domain names no longer under their control rendering most existing search engine links unusable, most of the sites all but disappeared. Some, however, refused to give in and moved immediately to new domain names.
One of those is the BitTorrent meta-search engine Torrent-Finder, which relocated to a .info domain it already owned. Just after the seizures, We asked site owner Waleed Gadelkareem how the action had affected his traffic. The response was clear – the domain seizure had set the site's traffic back massively.
Like many other torrent sites Google was the main traffic source of Torrent-Finder, so even with the .info domain ready traffic initially plunged up to 90%. Google was simply sending the traffic to the seized .com domain, not the new one.
But for this determined Egyptian, patience, hard work and a little help from Google was to set the site back on track to recovery. At the same time, Waleed shows how futile the U.S. seizures are for sites that are determined to continue their operations.
"Google webmaster tools are very important for any website's SEO and I had already registered torrent-finder.com on my cpanel and confirmed ownership," Waleed explained.
This registration meant that using the "Change of Address" option on the panel could be done immediately.
"Then I had to direct all linkbacks to the new .info domain by contacting webmasters or changing it by myself if I could. You can see the result on Google analytics of search engine traffic," says Waleed. (see below)
"Slowly Torrent Finder is getting back most of the indexed pages that we used to have on Google, and of course the targeted keywords," adds Waleed.
Despite the encouraging signs of recovery with the .info domain (thanks to Google), Waleed is also continuing with his legal action to reclaim his .com domain with the help of lawyer David Snead.
Waleed hopes that the mistakes that were made will serve him well in his case.

England's Rare Mosses and Liverworts: |
This is the first book to cover England's rare and threatened mosses and liverworts, collectively known as bryophytes. As a group, they are the most ancient land plants and occupy a unique position in the colonization of the Earth by plant life. However, many are at risk from habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and other factors. Britain is one of the world's best bryologically recorded areas, yet its mosses and liverworts are not well known outside a small band of experts. This has meant that conservation action has tended to lag behind that of more charismatic groups such as birds and mammals. Of the 918 different types of bryophyte in England, 87 are on the British Red List and are regarded as threatened under the strict criteria of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. This book aims to raise awareness by providing stunning photographs--many never before published--of each threatened species, as well as up-to-date profiles of 84 of them, including status, distribution, history, and conservation measures. The book looks at what bryophytes are, why they are important and useful, and what makes them rare; it also examines threats, extinctions, ex situ conservation techniques, legislation, and the impact of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity.
Ron D. Porley is a botanist who has been studying mosses and liverworts for more than twenty-five years. He is the author of Arable Bryophytes: A Field Guide to the Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of Cultivated Land in Britain and Ireland (WILDGuides), and the coauthor of Mosses and Liverworts (HarperCollins). He is a member of the British Bryological Society and is on the board of the European Committee for the Conservation of Bryophytes. He has traveled extensively in Europe, Africa, and Asia, collecting and photographing bryophytes. "Engaging, informative and beautifully illustrated. . . . This 224-page volume is the definitive reference for libraries--whether located on a university campus or natural history institution, in a public or personal library. Additionally, this field guide will appeal to naturalists of all ages and is indispensable to those who go 'mossing.'"--Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist, Guardian "This is a beautifully prepared and well-written book, and I strongly recommend it to all who have an interest in bryophyte conservation and rarity; and as a means of providing bryophyte awareness to a broader public."--James R. Shevock, Bryologist "[T]his well-written and beautifully presented publication will be a valuable reference work for anyone concerned with studying, managing and conserving England's threatened bryophytes . . . stunningly good."--Sharon Pilkington, British Wildlife Another Princeton book authored or coauthored by Ron Porley: Subject Areas:
