text: Poetry Selection – Tess Gallagher, He Would HaveTo speak for him is to leave a breath Fiction Selection – David Kranes, from SilbanSilban writes pulp. He makes no apologies. He tells a story. Eight novels: three, book club alternates; two sold to movies; both movies made. All Silban's books sell early: a hundred, maybe two hundred pages in. Silban has a knack; he hooks people. With three books, he just walked into an office and started to talk. It makes him angry though. Not the pulp. Not the success. More that he can't finish before somebody buys; some stranger saying, "Uh...so this and this and this," and getting his checkbook out. At which point, Silban spins his eyes but, because whoever-has-said-oh this and this and this is waiting, ultimately nods and says, "Yeah. Yeah, I suppose," and finishes the book to whoever's specifications. And hates it. Hates the knowing. |

Second Test and series drawn after day five washout
Friday, 25 October 2013
International match reports
Day five abandoned without a ball bowled - match drawn.
The rain arrived overnight, looked like it would allow a start an hour after play was scheduled, but then settled in for the day, meaning day five was abandoned without a ball bowled.
Full scorecard at blackcaps.co.nz
The Test, and the series, are drawn, with fans and players alike denied the chance of finding out how the teams would react with all results possible and a day to decide.
For the BLACKCAPS, they'll look back on a series where their top order batting delivered the goods, backed up admirably by their team mates lower down the order. First innings scores of 469 and 437 are good returns for the hard work and preparation that went into getting ready for sub-continent conditions.
Debutants Corey Anderson and Ish Sodhi will also be pleased with their introduction to Test cricket. Sodhi not only looked increasingly at home at the bowling crease, he scored a half century at a valuable time in the second Test, while Anderson showed great confidence and skill to notch a debut century, as well as very useful contributions with the ball.
The bowling attack worked hard throughout the series in the testing conditions. There's no doubt Sodhi looks a bowler of great promise, and Neil Wagner was his usual bundle of energy, putting pressure on the home team in the second Test.
The BLACKCAPS are quick to acknowledge they met a great home team, with man of the series Mominul Haque the stand out, backed up by Sohag Gazi's incredible performance with bat and ball in Chittagong, and Tamim Iqbal and Shakib al Hasan's consistency and class.
While both teams will be disappointed not to have settled things on the field, they can take positives from an enthralling Test series. The focus now turns to the limited overs matches, with the first in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Day four: New Zealand 437 all out. Bangladesh 269-3 (Mominul 126, Tamim 70)
Mominul Haque defied everything the BLACKCAPS threw at him to help chase down the lead, pass it, and set about building one for Bangladesh, in a partnership of 157 with Tamim Iqbal and later on with Shakib al Hasan. They finished the day 115 ahead with seven wickets in hand and a day to play, after a long day in the field for the visitors in the best weather conditions of the Test so far.
The BLACKCAPS added 18 to their overnight total. Ish Sodhi was run out when he and BJ Watling tried for a single that wasn't really there. Trent Boult followed soon afterwards, lbw to Abdur Razzak, leaving Watling not out on 70.
Again, Boult and Doug Bracewell bowled well for little reward, and it wasn't until Neil Wagner was thrown the ball that wickets fell. First, he had Anamul Haque caught by Peter Fulton in the slips from his first ball, then four overs later he forced Marshall Ayub to edge to Taylor, also in the slips.
Bangladesh were 55-2 and needed a partnership, which is what they got from Tamim Iqbal and first Test hero Mominul Haque. They got into their work and set about chasing down the New Zealand lead, which they did in the middle session. The BLACKCAPS bowlers stuck to their task but were unable to unlock the partnership, despite working hard to beat the bat and put pressure on the batsmen.
Mominul brought up his century from 169 balls in the 71st over, to the delight of the large crowd - but the breakthrough was just around the corner, when Williamson had Tamim slashing outside off stump when he was on 70, only to catch a thick edge that flew to Taylor at first slip.
Everything was thrown into the last hour, with Bracewell and Boult back in the action when the new ball was taken straightaway. Boult could have struck twice in the 83rd over, when a confident LBW shout was turned down, and then forced an edge that flew through the vacant third slip. Soon after, Bracewell forced an edge, only for it to pass between the slip fielders and race away to the fence.
All results are still possible on day five, and the series will be decided by the team that finally wrestles the advantage after two Tests where momentum has swung from one team to the other and back relentlessly. The BLACKCAPS will be keen to get the most from a new-ish ball on a pitch that looks still favourable for batting and work hard to get the result they came for.
Day three: New Zealand 419-8 (Anderson 116, Williamson 62, Taylor 53, Watling 59*, Sodhi 55*)
The BLACKCAPS are 137 runs ahead of Bangladesh after a day where Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson, BJ Watling and Ish Sodhi all passed 50 and Corey Anderson scored his maiden century. As individuals and in partnerships, the visitors have turned the pressure from themselves to their hosts, and can be well-satisfied with their batting on day three.
After a start delayed 20 minutes by a rogue shower, Taylor got his 50 but was almost immediately out, edging a Shakib Al Hasan delivery to first slip. Anderson joined Williamson, and they started slowly, with the wet outfield holding their boundary shots up, but Anderson brought up his maiden Test 50 from 72 balls, pushing Shakib to fine leg for three. Williamson joined him a few overs later with a drive down the ground for four.
The partnership went past 100 runs in the 66th over just before lunch, and the pair were working together well. Anderson brought up his maiden Test century in style, punching Sohag through mid on to the fence before raising the bat to his team mates.
Williamson went for 62 in the 80th over, lifting Sohag to Tamim, who took a superb running, behind-his-head catch, bringing the vital 140 run partnership to a end. Anderson went next on 116, trying to drive Al-Amin, but ending up caught in the covers, just after he and Watling had leveled the scores.
Watling set about building a partnership with Doug Bracewell, and they worked singles, punctuated by well-taken boundaries until Bracewell was caught by Mushfiqur for 17 defending, before the players trooped off for tea.
Wagner showed intent, chipping in with a boundary before being caught at slip for 8. That brought Ish Sodhi to the crease, and he and Watling set about scoring quickly, building a partnership that passed 50 as the BLACKCAPS lead ticked past 100 in the 122nd over. Sodhi rode his luck and was dropped twice, with a caught and bowled chance and one at mid off that Tamim never got underneath properly.
Sodhi went on to bring up his first Test 50 in the 130th over from 59 balls, shortly before play ended for the day.
The BLACKCAPS will look back with satisfaction on putting themselves in a strong position in the match, mindful the to-do list for day four includes a) scoring as many runs as possible with the last two wickets, and b) putting the hosts under pressure as soon as their turn to bowl rolls around.
Day two: Bangladesh 282 (Neil Wagner 5-64, Ish Sodhi 3-59), New Zealand 107-3 (Ross Taylor 37*, Kane Williamson 28*)
The BLACKCAPS head into day three 175 runs behind Bangladesh with seven wickets in hand in the second Test in Dhaka.
The visitors wrapped up the Bangladesh innings in short time in the morning session to restrict the home side to 282 with Neil Wagner grabbing his best figures and first five wicket bag for New Zealand. The openers negotiated the new ball successfully before losing both their wickets just before lunch. Kane Williamson shrugged off a blow to the helmet, returning to the crease after retiring hurt before the heavens opened and play was called off early for the second day in a row, leaving Williamson and Ross Taylor at the crease.
In the morning session, the BLACKCAPS successfully delivered their plan of bowling tight lines and cutting off the boundary balls to keep pressure on the batsmen. Trent Boult and Doug Bracewell both bowled excellent spells, before Wagner and Ish Sodhi capitalised on their ground work.
First, Wagner had Mushfiqur driving wildly to Peter Fulton in the gully for the first wicket of the morning, before grabbing first Test centurion Sohag Gazi for 14, to his delight. Wagner then completed his five wicket bag and best ever Test innings haul when Rubel attacked, but could only find an edge which BJ Watling dived to secure.
Among Wagner's carnage, Sodhi had seen off Nasir Hossain, who edged to Taylor at slip, and ended the innings by bowling Abdur Razzak for 13. Bangladesh were all out for 282, and the BLACKCAPS could be satisfied with a ruthlessly efficient morning's work in the field.
Openers Fulton and Hamish Rutherford started well, watching the bowling carefully before cashing in with the occasional stroked drive to the fence. Their good work was undone somewhat just before lunch with Rutherford, then his opening partner, falling to Shakib al Hasan, to a sharp catch at short leg and lbw without offering a shot respectively.
Taylor and Williamson were both relatively new to the crease straight after lunch, but calmed things down nicely. They were both played in when drama struck as Williamson, on 27, tried to duck under a shortish delivery from Rubel and was struck on the helmet. After a physio's assessment, he retired hurt to have stitches.
Brendon McCullum replaced him and looked in fine touch, stroking a couple of boundaries before attempting to lift Shakib over deep square leg, only to see Rubel perform a hail mary leap, landing on his back but coming up with the ball. The skipper was gone for 11.
That brought Williamson back to the crease, and he carried on where he left on - but his promising partnership with Taylor was put on hold when the rain came back in, and steadily got worse. Play was abandoned for the day at 3.30pm local time.
The BLACKCAPS will be keen to make sure of knocking off the deficit and pressing home the advantage their bowlers have given them. With Taylor and Williamson looking unfazed by the conditions and plenty of batting to come, New Zealand will look to build an imposing total - if only the weather will play ball.
Day one: Bangladesh 228-5 (Mominul Haque 47, Neil Wagner 2-43, Trent Boult 1-50, Corey Anderson 1-14, Ish Sodhi 1-38)
After Ross Taylor had the honour of leading the side out in his 50th Test, early missed chances and some positive batting from the home side was the story of the morning session as Brendon McCullum's men were invited to bowl first after losing the toss. But as the day wore on, the BLACKCAPS bowlers picked up three late scalps in a short space of time, to arguably have the momentum as rain drew a veil over day one early.
It could have all started very differently for the BLACKCAPS. After losing the toss and taking the field, first BJ Watling then McCullum spilled chances from Tamim Iqbal behind the wicket. But with the inclusion of the extra seamer, these were encouraging signs, and Trent Boult soon had the breakthrough when Anamul Haque skied Boult to Kane Williamson, who calmly took the catch.
From there, Tamil Iqbal and Marshall Ayub were able to play themselves and work the ball around, before Neil Wagner got a ball to skid through on Marshall, collecting his stumps on the way through in the 23rd over.
That brought first Test hero Mominul Haque to the crease, and he picked up where he left off, carving boundaries all around the ground to the delight of the steadily building crowd at Sher-e-Bangla stadium.
McCullum had a plan brewing for Mominul Haque, setting an unusual field with a short cover, short mid off, mid off, as well as a gully and slip. It paid off when Corey Anderson got Mominul to take a big swipe at a short ball, only to end up caught behind by Watling three short of his 50, and bringing his partnership of 76 with Iqbal to a close.
Tamim picked up the pace, taking three fours from a Doug Bracewell over in the second session as he raced closer to his century but stumbled at the last, guiding Wagner to Williamson in the gully, who took a great diving catch.
Ish Sodhi was in on the act next, bowling Shakib Al Hasan a straight one that he attempted to sweep, was struck on the pad, and on his way lbw for 20.
The players trouped off for tea, but as soon as they left the field the rain came in and the extensive covers came out. The rain only got worse, causing the umpires to call play off at around 3.30pm.
At 228-5, the BLACKCAPS will be pleased with their position, and Bangladesh's positive run rate of over four an over means the game is already quite advanced. The goal is obviously to get the remaining wickets fast, and get in a position to dictate terms on day two.

Column #7
Susan Dietrick, chairperson of the 2009 Lampasas show, poses in front of a wall quilt depicting the Lampasas County Courthouse, made by Lampasas quilter Ruby Wolfe in 1980. The quilt won 3rd place at the State Fair of Texas that year.
All proceeds from the show benefit the Keystone Square Museum and its programs.
Fay Mullins, Joan Milan, Martha Green, and Ann Hughes man the bake sale table. In the background is a 1930s-era Postage Stamp quilt featuring half-inch pieces made by Buena Vista Cox.
With the evolution of mega quilt shows such as International Quilt Festival during the past three decades, quilts and quilting have achieved unprecedented recognition. People are drawn by the thousands from all over the world to see the amazing exhibits and marvel at the sophistication and creativity on display in such profusion. These large gatherings have become so common that we are no longer shocked to hear that 50,000 or more people may pack the huge George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston to see quilts.
With shows of such magnitude now prevalent, it can be easy to forget that it was not always so. The truth is that quilt shows on a far more modest scale are regularly held in communities all across the nation. The attendance may be substantially smaller, the venues more compact, and the exhibits less expansive, but fine workmanship and beautiful quilts can still be found in abundance. Quite often, these community quilt shows serve the additional function of attracting an audience in order to raise funds for some local charitable purpose.
One such quilt show has been held annually in Lampasas, Texas (population 6,800) for the past 32 years. It is housed in the lovely old Second Empire-style county courthouse that graces the town square. Lampasas has a lot of charm, with interesting architecture, friendly people, Texas Hill Country scenery, and some wild-west history (the place had its fair share of outlaws in the early days, and it is even said that Jesse James' brother, Frank, operated a leather store there at one time), adding to its allure.
Lampasas also has a lot of people who are dedicated to preserving the town's heritage and the focus of their efforts is the Keystone Square Museum, which holds collections that reflect the history of the area. Raising money to support the museum is the purpose of the Lampasas Quilt Show. In addition to the quilts on display, there is always a raffle quilt and a bake sale. All proceeds benefit the museum and its programs, and for over three decades the show has been a success.
All this got me to pondering what it is about quilts in particular that seems to draw people together in ways that other things cannot. Quilts are people magnets—a fact that is not lost on community leaders who need a lure to attract a crowd. Who doesn't want to see quilts, long to touch them, to buy a chance in order to possibly win one? Aside from the visual, the tactile, and the material, however, there is an intangible something else about quilts as well. I believe it has to do with emotion.
Any time a quilt gets made, be it by an individual or a group, a lot of emotion goes into the process—joy in the aesthetic decisions that are made, patience (and frustration) in the time and effort required, and relief and satisfaction in its completion. As often as not, a quilt is intended for someone besides its maker, and there are emotions that arise both from the giving and the receiving end of that equation.
And then there are the emotions triggered by memory in just looking at a quilt: a mother, a wedding, a baby, a time of comfort, the sorts of personal remembrances most of us have that provide a sense of continuity and connection with the past. All of those things, and more, combine to make the quilt an attraction that few can resist.

Loading... The Lost Prince (Iron Fey) (edition 2012)by Julie Kagawa
Work detailsThe Lost Prince (Iron Fey) by Julie Kagawa
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I quite liked this installment of the series. Ethan Chase has lived with certain rules all his life, don't look at Them, don't speak of Them and never enter Their world. However his life becomes compliclated when some faerie start disappearing, while he would kinda like to ignore this, one of them is a half-faerie fellow student. Through the story Ethan has to deal with his assumptions and open up to his fellow student MacKenzie (Kenzie) who is determined to fine out more about him and the situation. Their lives will never be the same again and Ethan has to deal with destiny and the sister he thought lost to him forever. I enjoyed it once Ethan started caring about others. I could understand the why but going through the angst was a climb. I have ARC in hand....because I have the most awesome Teen Services manager ever! NOTE: I received this book from Netgalley and MiraINK in exchange for my honest review. Thanks! The last book I read of the Iron Fey series, The Iron Knight, was a huge (and I can't stress enough how huge that is) a disappointment. Until that book I'd loved Ash and Puck and Meghan. The Iron Knight made me dislike them. So, when I requested The Lost Prince, I was a little biased. I wondered whether it would be more like the first three books, or like the fourth one. Turns out it was different from both. In fact, it was so different that I was pleasantly stunned! I totally loved Ethan's voice! His brooding, cranky behavior. His courage, his boldness, his reservation. He was just the perfect boy - not bad, but not all that good either. In other words, The Lost Prince was just the right dose of thrill, romance and paranormality that I'd needed at the time. Hence my rating. The story was pretty original, fey wise; the characters were lovable, and I can safely say that I enjoyed it very much. Kenzie was my favorite character of the lot. She was so sweet and adorable. I sensed something was the matter with her, but only when she told her story did I realize exactly what it was. And yet she was brave about it, which made her enter my heart in deep. So, whatever you thought of the previous Iron Fey books, whether you liked them or not, that shouldn't take a toll on you acquiring The Lost Prince. It was an amazing book! You should definitely read it! I am not sure why but it took me forever to get into this book. I read about 50% of it then took a few months break, then another 30% and another month break, and now I have FINALLY finished it. It was not for lack of story line or interesting plot, I just felt I was not invested in the characters. I think that I have mentioned that I have NOT read The Iron Fey series, I know about the plotline and the characters but since I didn't have all the back story I just could not get into this book. Ethan Chase is the main character of this series and is trying to find out what is happening to the half-breeds and exile fey. Ethan has been tormented by the fey all his life, so when you meet him, he is mostly a jerk to everyone and everything that crosses his path. I kind of understood where he was coming from but at the same time, I think he was just a jerk to be a jerk...and that put me off a bit. I made it into the Nevernever with him and followed him on his quest to find his friend and what was happening, but even at the climaxes, which should have been interesting thought provoking moment, they just fell flat because I did not care what happened to Ethan. In the last four chapters was when I started feeling for him and that was a whole book too late for me. The other characters both human and fey were interesting and I loved them, especially all the little guys that helped though the adventure, talking cats, flying things, so fun and cute. I really need to read Meghan's tale and the whole Iron Fey series before trying to tackle the next book in this one. So my recommendation is to read the first series and then follow it with this, like most people probably did, I was crazy to think I could start this series as a completely new one. The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa is the fifth book in the Iron Fey series, though it's also the start of the spinoff Call of the Forgotten series. Harlequin claimed on NetGalley that I could start with this book, so I decided to give it a try and test the theory ;-). While I didn't end up loving The Lost Prince, I did enjoy the concepts and definitely think you can start with The Lost Prince and still enjoy Call of the Forgotten. I'm actually kind of glad I started here, since I don't think I would have loved the romance in the first four Iron Fey books. The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa (Call of the Forgotten #1) Published by Harlequin Teen on Oct. 23rd, 2012 Genres: Fantasy, YA Length: 377 pages How I got my copy: Borrowed IndieBound - Book Depository - Goodreads Purchases made support this blog Don't look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them. That is Ethan Chase's unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he'd dare to fall for. Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister's world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myth and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten. Strengths: I haven't read that many books about fairies, but enough that I was quite excited to see a new premise in The Lost Prince involving creepy ghost fey. Taking the fluffy idea of fairies in modern day and turning them into sharp and dark things is so much fun :D. I'm such a sucky for adorable sidekick characters and there is a gremlin named Razor that stole my heart! He's kind of like an intelligent dog in that he is very eager to please and not quite human level intelligence, but he can talk (he reminded me of Doug >.>) and it's so cute! Plus he's a gremlin and so he gets all static-y when he's excited haha. As I said above, I think starting with The Lost Prince and only reading Call of the Forgotten would work fine. There is plenty of filling in the important parts of the previous series and I didn't feel lost at all :). Ethan, the MC, has the Sight and can see the fair folk. I thought that this element was handled quite well in that it had strengths and weaknesses and was always there (like a normal sense), not only when it was convenient for the plot. Ethan practices Kali, which is apparently a Filipino martial arts (though I can't find anything on the Internet about it besides this Kalis blade), and it was fun seeing that hobby utilized through out the plot. A character who has trained for years in order to defend himself instead of just having magic abilities :D. Weaknesses: The romantic dialogue in The Lost Prince was a bit painfully cheesy at times. There might have been some eye-rolling >.>. Ethan has some pretty angsty, annoying and sexist internal thoughts and I just wanted to smack him upside the head at various points. The Lost Prince has a fair amount of repetitive phrasing, in that I felt like I was reading the same sentence again that I read one page ago. This feeling was because I basically was…. The only people who didn't see that plot twist coming were the characters…. Summary: The Lost Prince has an interesting premise and was perfectly fine to read as a fluffier book. If you don't mind some cheese with your romance, you will probably quite enjoy it :). I'm looking forward to reading the second book (Iron Traitor) mostly because I'm hoping that there is betrayal >.> I think there are good odds given that title! 3 Stars no reviews | add a review

A yellow cab driver from Queens died Sunday morning after an SUV crashed into his taxi on the East Side of Manhattan.
Police say Mir Hoosain, 35, of Queens was standing in front of his taxi on 26th Street between Third and Lexington Avenues around 2 a.m. when an SUV crashed into the cab.
The impact sent the cab forward, pinning and severely injuring Hoosain.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Several parked cars were also hit during the accident.
A 43-year-old man sitting in one of the cars was injured and was recovering in the hospital Sunday night.

'Hurt Locker' makers file new suit against downloaders
Months after wrapping up a copyright case against nearly 25,000 people who allegedly downloaded the Oscar-winning movie, Voltage Pictures files a new lawsuit against thousands of others.
After filing a lawsuit against 24,583 individuals who allegedly downloaded the Oscar-winning film "The Hurt Locker," movie studio Voltage Pictures is at it again. This time, in a new lawsuit, they've added about 2,500 other alleged BitTorrent users to its list, according to TorrentFreak.
Voltage Pictures, which filed the suit in Florida last week, says that all of those people downloaded "The Hurt Locker" illegally; as a result, it has lost millions of dollars in revenue. One of the studio's goals in this lawsuit is to get a subpoena to reveal the alleged movie sharers' identities via their ISP addresses, according to TorrentFreak.
An interesting coincidence in this case, TorrentFreak points out, is that all of the defendants supposedly downloaded "The Hurt Locker" in 2010 and they all share the same Internet provider -- Charter Communications.
Related stories
An undisclosed number of settlements were reached in this mega-case, but it's not known if it was financially worth it for the studio, according to TorrentFreak.
Although Voltage Pictures is leading the charge in targeting BitTorrent users, several other companies have gone after alleged online game, movie, and book sharers. According to TorrentFreak, more than 250,000 people have been sued in the U.S. for illegal downloading via BitTorrents.

And a market to sell other heroes to other players.
It looks like population increases when soldiers are recruited but doesn't decrease when they are killed. This should be fixed.

This game needs some squirrels
Hey indy whats this spam about I mean really?
I think this game needs squirrels
Hey indy what are you exactly mean?
Well I think hes addicted to squirrels and is just spamming the place.
You know when I recomended that you can plunder coins well when in the attack menu there is a certain place that only plunders coins and there would be a maximum amount of coins that can be plundered.
in the attack menu you just can send the coins to the others, and you can get the coins from attacking the wilds
Well with the recent updates with the new wildernesses well some newer wildernesses that are the levels bewtween the swamp and valley would be nice (:
pls remove this > " only 5 kinds of troops allowed" from those new wilds which only make everything depend on luck . It doesn't really matter how good my troops and heroes are , the moment the wilds' troops dodge a few times , my troops will sure get hit and die. It is not reasonable to lose a few thousands of troops everyday by hitting those new wilds .
it will make the game more challenge, you can lv up your troops training :)
sevenkan the new wilds in s99 are bullcrap as our limit is 40K troops.
Personly I think you should put the lucky back to 1 free one a day. Plus the new wilds are fun because of the challenge games are horrid if you cant have a challenge.
Nevermind the lucky card part.
now, no matter you have lucky card or not, we will send one free to you under the daily bonus..
Server Merge
I think that we should be able to exchange keys up per amount of keys 1 person has like 25 bronze key's to 1 silver key and 10 silver key's to 1 gold key
Some of the servers are getting a little dead right now. Part of the reason is because nothing new has come out. Please come out with something big. I believe that a server merge would be a great idea because it brings two almost dead servers with only the bigger players and some other players here and there that play to battle it out. Some servers are locked down pretty much so this would change up the game and make more people play a lot more.
sorry for the inconvenience, we will not working on merge any more. coz some of pros we can not issued..
Are you currently working on an update that would bring some new things or more excitment to attract more players and keep some playing? For example, I think you should make more to Alliance wars. Have some kind of an objective instead of just killing the crap out of each other until further notice. I was thinking of having outposts or a capital city or something where the Alliances could own which would give the Alliance and every player in it a bonus in resources or attack and defense. Or have something where there are NPC Cities in which you can attack for resources and coins? Just ideas that have had while playing this game.

Delhi sets international film festival in December
Thursday - 8/23/2012, 11:10am  ET
NEW DELHI (AP) - Mumbai may be home to Bollywood, but India's capital city wants to have fun at the movies, too.
The first Delhi International Film Festival has been scheduled for this December. Festival director Suresh Kumar Goswami said the festival hoped to showcase the world's best cinema with films from 70 countries.
One will be this year's best-picture Oscar winner, "The Artist" from France.
The festival was timed to mark the century that Delhi has been India's capital city. It was made the capital of British India in 1911.
Other films slated for the Delhi festival are "Daughters of Hill" by Patrizia Landi, "Jeremiah" by Eran Paz and "Mar" by Caner Erzincan.
The city already hosts an annual festival of Arab and Asian films, and other Indian cities host global film showcases.

Sensitivity to Temporal Reward Structure in Amygdala Neurons
Sensitivity to Temporal Reward Structure in Amygdala Neurons

► Reward signals in amygdala neurons were exquisitely sensitive to reward timing ► Time courses of reward anticipatory activity paralleled the temporal reward structure ► Reward responses were modulated by instantaneous reward probability
The time of reward and the temporal structure of reward occurrence fundamentally influence behavioral reinforcement and decision processes [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. However, despite knowledge about timing in sensory and motor systems [12,13,14,15,16,17], we know little about temporal mechanisms of neuronal reward processing. In this experiment, visual stimuli predicted different instantaneous probabilities of reward occurrence that resulted in specific temporal reward structures. Licking behavior demonstrated that the animals had developed expectations for the time of reward that reflected the instantaneous reward probabilities. Neurons in the amygdala, a major component of the brain's reward system [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29], showed two types of reward signal, both of which were sensitive to the expected time of reward. First, the time courses of anticipatory activity preceding reward delivery followed the specific instantaneous reward probabilities and thus paralleled the temporal reward structures. Second, the magnitudes of responses following reward delivery covaried with the instantaneous reward probabilities, reflecting the influence of temporal reward structures at the moment of reward delivery. In being sensitive to temporal reward structure, the reward signals of amygdala neurons reflected the temporally specific expectations of reward. The data demonstrate an active involvement of amygdala neurons in timing processes that are crucial for reward function.

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with manual transmissions (MF3/MR5) and manufactured January 24, 2013, through August 1, 2013. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
General Motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13276.

United States Senator
February 25, 2004
Statement of Chairman Orrin G. Hatch
Before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Hearing on the Nomination of
Roger T. Benitez for the
United States District Court for the Southern District of California
I am pleased to welcome to the Committee this morning Judge Roger Benitez, whom President Bush has nominated to fill a vacancy on the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.
Judge Benitez comes before us today as a highly regarded Federal Magistrate, with an impressive record of judicial service in both the state and federal judiciary. Born in Havana, Cuba, Judge Benitez's life embodies the spirit and strength of this nation. After coming to this country, he overcame numerous obstacles to put himself through college at San Diego State University. He obtained a law degree from the Western State University College of Law in 1978, and then distinguished himself in a diverse and successful law practice in Imperial County California. Appointed to the Imperial County Superior Court in 1997, and re-elected in 1998, he served with distinction until 2001. Since then, Judge Benitez has served as a federal magistrate judge in the Southern District of California.
I would note that a bipartisan committee selected Judge Benitez for his current position after a thorough review of his record and experience. Another bipartisan nominating commission found Judge Benitez to be highly qualified and recommended that he be appointed a district judge.
Despite these accomplishments and endorsements, a majority of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary returned a rating of Not Qualified for Judge Benitez. In such instances, it has been the practice of this Committee to invite representatives of the ABA to explain the basis for the rating. Later in this hearing, we will hear from Tom Hayward, chair of the ABA Standing Committee, and Richard Macias, a former member of the Committee and circuit member who conducted the evaluation that led to Judge Benitez's rating. I welcome them on behalf of the Committee.
Finally, we will also hear from Judge Benitez's current supervisor - the Chief Judge of the Southern District of California, Judge Marilyn L. Huff. We welcome Judge Huff to the Committee, who will attest to Judge Benitez's fitness for the federal bench: his legal aptitude and experience, his integrity, and, most notably, his judicial temperament. It is my understanding that concerns pertaining to temperament served as the basis for the ABA's rating. But I expect that Judge Huff's testimony today will satisfactorily address any lingering questions about Judge Benitez's temperament. I understand that Judge Huff is in the middle of a very important trial. It is a great testament to Judge Benitez that, despite her extremely busy schedule, she was eager to come to Washington on relatively short notice to testify on his behalf.
I would note that Judge Huff's testimony is endorsed by all eleven active judges of the Southern District of California. These are the people with whom Judge Benitez has worked closely for the past three years. They all support the nomination of Judge Benitez. They have put the weight of their admirable reputations behind Judge Benitez's nomination.
In addition to this testimony, the Committee has received written testimony and letters which strongly support Judge Benitez's nomination. Without objection I will submit them for the record. Since we will not hear from these witnesses in person, I would like to take a moment to share some of their views on Judge Benitez.
U.S. District Court Judge John Houston got to know Judge Benitez both professionally and personally when they worked together as magistrates in the Southern District. Judge Houston writes that he has, "observed his good character, integrity and temperament along with his dedication to public service to be invariant. In addition, Judge Benitez' experience as a lawyer and state court trial judge will make him an invaluable member of our bench and a source of pride for the citizens in this district for many years to come."
Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Imperial County, Raymond Cota was extremely surprised to learn of the ABA's rating. He was born and raised in Imperial County and has worked closely with Judge Benitez. He wrote that he has, "never, in 25 years as an attorney and judge in Imperial County, heard any unflattering remarks or criticism of Roger Benitez of any sort."
Randy J. Rutten, President of the Imperial County Bar Association submitted this testimony: "I am the current President of the Imperial County Bar Association. On August 6, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Imperial County Bar Association unanimously and enthusiastically voted to endorse and support the nomination of Roger T. Benitez as an Article III judge for the Southern District of California. Our decision was based on Judge Benitez's reputation in the legal community as well as in the community in general."
Gary Wyatt, Chairman, Board of Supervisors, County of Imperial offered this testimony regarding Judge Benitez: "In 1997 he was appointed to the Superior Court by the then governor of the state of California. Before he was appointed he was vetted by the Judicial Nominations Evaluation Committee of the State of California. As part of that evaluation, confidential questionnaires were sent out to over 150 lawyers and judges asking for information concerning his legal ability, ethics, work ethics and temperament....During his tenure on the Superior Court, Judge Benitez proved himself to be a capable jurist who was valued and respected by the bar and his fellow judges. He had a reputation for being able to handle difficult legal tasks, exhibiting good judicial temperament and always being more than willing to assist his fellow judges, even if it meant asking other judges if he could help them with their calendars.... Because of his excellent reputation in the legal community and the community in general, our board of supervisors has unanimously adopted a resolution ... endorsing and recommending the confirmation of the Honorable Roger T. Benitez to the position of district judge of for the Southern District of California."
Eduardo A. Rivera, former Democratic Mayor of the City of Calexico and attorney wrote: "Judge Benitez is fair, rational, intelligent, and just. I have been treated with respect in all of my private practice dealings with Judge Benitez before he assumed the bench and have been treated fairly and equitably in his courtroom. Judge Benitez is compassionate and fair. It is therefore with dismay that I find some attorneys who have deemed his courtroom demeanor and temperament as improper. At no time in the last 25 years have I ever seen Judge Benitez exercise bad judgment or be discourteous with any person he has dealt with in either his capacity as a private attorney or as a State or Federal Judge."
Neil Gerber, an attorney in the municipality of El Centro stated, "As a state court judge, and then as a federal magistrate, Magistrate Benitez was always well prepared, engaging, and fair. His judicial temperament was excellent in all respects. He himself, displayed the highest respect for the courts, and inspired the same feeling in those who entered his courtrooms. Both as a state court judge and as a federal magistrate, Magistrate Benitez enjoyed the highest reputation for ability and integrity among the local bar."
These and other statements of support indicate clearly that Judge Benitez has the legal experience, ability, aptitude, character, integrity and temperament to serve as a federal District Judge. So I look forward to hearing and reviewing the testimony today as we consider this nomination.

Song Stories
"Little Black Submarines"
The Black Keys | 2011
Though the song may sound a little "Stairway to Heaven"-ish, this Akron, Ohio, duo has stolen from the best from the beginning, in particular old blues. Rolling Stone picked this song from El Camino as Number 18 in the 50 Best Singles list of 2011, partially on the strength of Dan Auerbach's wailing guitar solo. "That was my jock-rock moment," Auerbach said. "We actually did that song in two versions, an acoustic one and an electric one and spliced them together. I think that the electric half of that song is the closest representation of our live show than anything we've done before."

text: I am a big Stephen King fan who many years ago read a lot of work by John Wyndham. I think that one of the reasons I am drawn to the works of both writers is the subject of human collective action in the face of great danger. That never ending battle of good vs evil that keeps so many of us up at night unable to put the book down. A few years back I found an old copy of 'The Day Of The Triffids' and read it again after many years and found it really enjoyable. Tales of humanity regrouping and working together in the face of the utterly sinister arising from or causing total societal breakdown for some reason really stirs something in me. I suppose it's because I know that society and civilization are thin veneers. Puncture the surface and our vulnerability is revealed and then what do we do? This is why I loved The Stand so much. It is my favourite SK work by far. I also loved reading The Dark Tower series and Insomnia for the same sort of thrill. For those who have never read John Wyndham's stuff, I would highly recommend 'The Day of The Triffids' and also 'Chocky'.

Museum für Byzantinische Kunst at the Bode-Museum
The Museum für Byzantinische Kunsthouses a first-rate collection of late Antique and Byzantine artworks and articles from everyday life that is unique in Germany. The focus of the collection is on art of the Western Roman and Byzantine Empires dating from the third to the fifteenth century. It also includes many post-Byzantine icons and craftwork objects.
Almost all the regions of the ancient Mediterranean world are represented in the collection. There are objects from Rome and Italy, from Istanbul (the Byzantine city of Constantinople) and Turkey, from Greece and the Balkans, from Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia and North Africa, from the countries of the Near and Middle East, and from Russia; in other words, all the areas encompassed by the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and the states which fell heir to the culture of Byzantium.
Within this broad spectrum, four main aspects define the Berlin collection's distinctive profile. Late Antique Roman sarcophagi and sarcophagi fragments offer a panorama of early Christian iconography from the capital of the Western Roman Empire. Rich holdings of figurative and ornamental sculpture from the Eastern Roman Empire allow the stylistic variety and development of this art form to be studied to a degree and depth that is rivalled only by the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul. Precious ivory carvings and mosaic icons document the high technical and artistic standard of Byzantine court art. Finally, everyday objects from Egypt give insights into ordinary life, while liturgical accoutrements bear witness to the worship practices of the early Christian church. Some of these objects are rare excavated finds of organic material, such as wood or fabric, which owe their preservation to Egypt's hot and dry desert climate.

World Exclusive Review: 512SP GeForce GTX 480
Power Consumption Test
We used Seasonic PowerAngle to record the power consumption values of graphics cards. Record the maximum value as stand-by power consumption 5 minutes after the PC entered Windows 7 system interface; Load the GPU with FurMark V1.8.2 Multiple-GPU mode, and then record the maximum value as loaded power consumption.
The frequencies of both cards automatically dropped to 51/101/135MHz (Core/Shader/Memory) in stand-by state. The GPU voltage of 480SP GTX 480 decreased to 0.963V, while that of 512SP GTX 480 was 0.962V.
As we had expected, the stand-by power consumption of 512SP GTX 480 was 17W higher.
Under full load the GPU voltage of reference GTX 480 was 1.0V, while 512SP edition was 1.056V. Surprisingly, the full spec'ed GTX 480 sucked 644W power, which was 204W higher than 480SP GTX 480!
The addition of 32 CUDA cores is not supposed to result in such significant improvement of power consumption. Considering the sample we have has yet to be improved and the increase of GPU voltage brought some negative effects, we're not sure about the power consumption of final product.

August 10th, 2010 at 9:00 amthe temp makes no sense, it suddenly hits 94 in a perfect line while the fan keeps speeding up?
tifosi Says:
August 10th, 2010 at 4:51 pm@94C
It makes sense… why? cos the power consumption goes up (as much as 5-6 times, based on this test), and as a result up goes the TDP. However, air cooling, it will only have a diminishing return… like most things in life .
Edmárcio Pinheiro dos Santos Says:
August 10th, 2010 at 8:46 pmA typo? 644W = 464W = 24W more.

Yolanda Says:
August 10th, 2010 at 9:30 pmSimply 512 SP GF100 sample card have very very overvolted GPU, I think not 1.05V as they measured, it's about 1.2V+.

August 11th, 2010 at 1:45 am<0,05v give more than 200W power consumption?
i think you must recheck the core voltage
mortur Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 2:47 am644 Watts? This NVIDIA card is a Joke.
Forget it.
Trae32566 Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 3:04 amHonestly I think it would only be fair to compare the stock clocks to the 480, as you don't see Anandtech or Toms Hardware underclocking their 480′s when comparing to 470s, still it's a horrible amount of heat, but at least give it a chance.
As well, your core voltage must be off, there's no way for that little amount of voltage, the TDP is gonna go that high. -
QinX Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 5:18 amVoltages don't impact power consumption. It's more about the Current being used.
You see this also happen with CPUs.
Overclocking is achieved by raising the voltage. Only then will the voltage raise the power consumption. -
Yolanda Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 5:53 amPower W = (U*U)/R
U – voltage
R – resistance.So power gains in square from voltage.

August 11th, 2010 at 12:20 pmGPU-Z reads 801/1601/950MHz
But the tests reads 701/1401/924MHz
no wonder…..;-)
Blacksmith Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 1:18 pmThis is just awful, even at 900/1100 the 480 doesnt reach that power consumption
Overmind Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 4:30 pmTest the card with 600MHz clock and you will see that 512 shaders + 600Mhz clock (as it would of been released) has a lower performance (be very little) then the current GTX480 with 700 MHz clock. Given the choices, nV made the less disastrous one.
At 800+ MHz this becomes a nuclear-reactor-drainer UFO monster.
To that adding that the whole GF100 is cost-inefficient, nV should better make a fully enabled GF-104 instead (and put that between 5850 and 5870). That one has the chance of actually working at respectable temperatures and power values. Yields are another matter, though. -
bomberboysk Says:
August 11th, 2010 at 5:58 pmYo dude, The new card packs 512 CUDA cores, 64 ROPs, 48 texture units, and core/shader/memory clocks of 801/1601/950MHz, compared to the 701/1401/924MHz on the reference model.
Uh, you got that backwards, 64 texture units and 48 ROPs.
@ QinX Says:
August 13th, 2010 at 6:57 pmThat is theoretical BS. I have undervolted my CPU's and GPU's and the power consumption does lower in reality. I am undervolting my laptop CPU from 1,1V to 1,0V without changing any clocks so the temp and fan rpm's go down, it also extends my battery life. And overclocking, just test it with different voltages and you'll see. Saying that voltage has no impact on power consumption is just stupid.
Bruno Says:
August 14th, 2010 at 12:41 amWait, that has to be an error with the power consumption being that high under load! Might be great for GPU computing but still, that is nuts and sorry, anyone buying these for Folding@Home or for CUDA, gaming, etc, for anything actually, is an idiot.
joe Says:
August 14th, 2010 at 8:09 amWAIT WAIT WAIT a minute…….. why does this GTX480 with a higher volt with the artic cooling fan have the same temps (slightly hotter) than my GTX 480s in SLI? This article does seem a bit BS to me.
joe Says:
August 14th, 2010 at 8:12 amESPECIALLY seeing as the artic cooling fan for the 5970 drops the temps from 80c to 40c.
MeanBruce Says:
August 14th, 2010 at 10:39 amI am getting all confuselled. Just get an ATI card, until InVid gets there act together again.
joe Says:
August 14th, 2010 at 4:24 pmthere's nothing wrong with the Nvidia cards. They are awsome in my opinion and apparently they run quiter than some ATI counter parts (from what I have read). And these coolers will be awsome once released. I find it kinda funny how some people have 1000w – 1200w PSUs and when something goes to make use of that they PANIC!
MeanBruce Says:
August 15th, 2010 at 1:19 amYou can go back and forth about voltages and watts and Moops all day long. The real overview here is this healthy competition between Cool N-Vid and ATI has to go back and forth equally, each one bettering the other just enough to take 1st place for a short time and then the other. We all win and tech moves forward. This time N-Vid didn't rise high enough did not answer the call, did not meet the challenge. Poor yields-low efficiency-high temps. The worst part is instead of us all enjoying the new ATI 6xxx series this November with 32nm tech or even 28nm tech, we are stuck with 40nm. ATI is only going to spend what it has to to stay ahead. If Fermi had been an efficient success we would be enjoying the new die shrink. One side drops the ball and progress lags behind for a year. It's not Moops, it's Moors!
Bruno Says:
August 15th, 2010 at 2:57 amWe are stuck with 40nm because of the TSMC (and Nvidia's problems)… Because of that, AMD/ATi is now relying on Global Foundries for the 28nm (because 32nm is planned to be skipped). So you can thank your "worst part" with TSMC, not ATi or anybody else.
MeanBruce Says:
August 15th, 2010 at 10:31 pmandy on here says ATI is only releasing the low and mid cards in November and the 6870 and 6850 in January so they can indeed use the 28nm shrink. Can't believe they would miss Christmas. Anyone have any information? Will make a huge difference in my next card. Dreaming of temps around 26c with the prolimatech mk-13, oh yeah baby!

Rufus King was an American lawyer and politician born in March 1755, in Scarborough, Maine. After the Revolutionary War ended, he graduated from Harvard College at the top of his class and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1780 and soon after represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress and at the Constitutional Convention. King was one of the framers and signers of the U.S. Constitution and was a vocal lifelong opponent of slavery. In 1789,
King became one of New York's first U.S. senators and later served as U.S. ambassador to Great Britain.
Early Politics and the Continental Congress
A founding father of the United States, Rufus King was born in 1755, in Scarborough, Maine. He entered Harvard College in 1773, but his studies were interrupted in 1775 by the onset of the Revolutionary War, as the buildings on Harvard's campus were allocated to house soldiers. In 1776, King's studies commenced, and he graduated the following year, soon beginning a career in law in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
King was admitted to the bar in 1780 and was elected to the Massachusetts state legislature, which sent him to Philadelphia in 1784 to represent Massachusetts in the Continental Congress (until 1787, when he became one of the signers of the new Constitution). In the Continental Congress, King introduced the resolution suggesting a convention be held to draft a new Constitution and added resolutions to the Northwest Ordinance that banned slavery in the Northwest Territory.
Always a staunch anti-slavery activist, King later (as a U.S. senator, in 1817) voted to end the domestic slave trade and demanded that an anti-slavery clause be added to Missouri's application for statehood (1820) or the petition should be denied.
U.S. Senator From New York
In 1788 King moved to New York, where he was elected to the state assembly the following year. During King's first summer in New York, he and General Philip Schuyler—who served in the Revolutionary War as well as the Continental Congress—were elected New York's first U.S. senators (1789). King became known as a Federalist leader in Congress and remained a prominent and loyal member of the party his entire career. President George Washington approached King about becoming secretary of state, but King declined and instead accepted a later appointment as U.S. ambassador to Great Britain (1796–1803; 1825–1826).
To take the post, King had to resign from the Senate, only a year after winning his reelection bid. He returned to the Senate in 1813, however, and served two more terms. Over the course of his Senate career, King helped form the first Bank of the United States and chaired the Committee on Roads and Canals and the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Higher Aspirations and Later Years
Also during this time, King launched campaigns for higher office, running (unsuccessfully) for vice president in 1804 and 1808 and for president in 1816, a race that marked King as the last candidate to run under the banner of the Federalist Party. A busy year for King, 1816 also saw him run, again unsuccessfully, for governor of New York.

White powder found in letter to Dancing
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police determined that a white powder found Wednesday in a letter addressed to the television show "Dancing With The Stars" was harmless, authorities said.
The suspicious white powder was found around 2 p.m. in a mailroom at CBS Television City, a large studio complex, according to Richard French, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
A hazardous materials team was called in to gather the powder and test it before declaring it harmless.
No one was exposed to the powder and no injury has been reported, French said. The envelope was addressed to the show, not a specific participant, he said.
"Outside of mail room operations being suspended for a few hours, no business operations or show productions were affected," said CBS spokesman Chris Ender.
He declined comment on what safety precautions CBS may take in the future.
White powder has repeatedly been discovered in the mail at CBS Television City.
A similarly harmless envelope of white powder was sent to "Dancing With The Stars" in November 2010, days before the finale where Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin faced off for the prize.
In August of this year, an envelope addressed to "The Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson was packed with white powder and a threatening letter. That letter came from overseas, and the powder was also found to be harmless.
Television City houses production for many television shows, including ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," Fox's "American Idol" and "The Price is Right."
