Believer Biography
Believer was an influential metal band whose sound evolved from straight-ahead Slayer-esque thrash, to a more progressive thrash, and finally to a very avant-garde mixture of thrash-metal, death-metal, and classical/operatic influence. They released three albums from 1989 to 1993 before disbanding in 1994. In 2005, drummer Joey Daub and guitarist/vocalist Kurt Bachman began to write again. They eventually reformed Believer with new members Jeff King, Elton Nestler and Kevin Leaman. Their newest album, "Gabriel", was released March 17, 2009 on Howard Jones' (of Killswitch Engage) Cesspool Recordings imprint on Metal Blade Records. Joey Daub and Jeff King play in progressive/gothic metal band Fountain of Tears.

Another successful year raising money for the cure! World Golf Village neighbors, businesses, friends and family came out on Saturday to celebrate, remember, and fight back against cancer. We had beautiful sunny weather with cool breezes to keep us going around the track over and over again. Davidson agents and staff signed up to walk at all hours from 3 pm to 9 am. The Davidson Companies raised even more money than last year, totaling over $4,000 (including sponsorship money)! Jock Ochiltree, Davidson Agent and cancer survivor, was our highest fundraiser, raising over $1,200 himself!
Jock Ochiltree and Roberta Hicks, our two cancer survivors, proudly took the first lap with all the other survivors to kick off the relay. For me, this is the most powerful part of relay. It really put everything into perspective and shows why you relay in the first place – we WILL find a cure!
People had a blast walking the track, while the DJ kept the music coming. There was a huge bouncy house for the kids and all the tents were stocked with fun for everyone. Teams were selling raffle tickets for amazing gift packages, cake pops, glow sticks, glow-in-the-dark glasses, food, necklaces, and more! (more…)

Erogenous zone
An erogenous zone (from Greek ἔρως eros "love" and English -genous "producing" from Greek -γενής -genes "born") is an area of the human body that has heightened sensitivity, the stimulation of which may result in the production of sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm.
People have erogenous zones all over their bodies, but which areas are more sensitive than others vary. Some may resent stimulation that others find arousing. The stimulation of these areas can produce gentle, mild or intense arousal.
The erogenous zones may be classified by the type of sexual excitement that they provoke. Many are gently aroused when their eyelids, eyebrows, temples, shoulders, hands, arms and hair are subtly touched. Gently touching or stroking of these zones stimulates a partner during foreplay and increases the arousal level. Also, the gentle massage or stroke of the abdominal area along with kissing or simply touching the navel can be a type of stimulation.
Erogenous zones are either nonspecific or specific.
Nonspecific zones[edit]
In these zones, the skin is similar to normal-haired skin and has the normal high density of nerves and hair follicles. These areas include the sides and back of the neck, the inner arms, the axillae (armpits) and sides of the thorax. An exaggerated tickle and anticipatory response are responsible for the heightened sensual response.
Specific zones[edit]
Specific zones are associated with sexual response, and include areas of the genitals, notably the foreskin and corona of the glans penis, clitoris and rest of the vulva, perianal skin and lips.[1] The rete ridges of the epithelium are well-formed and more of the nerves are close to the external surface of the skin than in normal-haired skin.[1]
The foreskin, which carries the ridged band and lower frenular delta,[2] has mucocutaneous end-organs extending from the distal margin to the point where hairy skin starts.[3] The thin dermis and minimal subcutaneous tissue results in closely set nerve networks. Vater-Pacini corpuscles are present. The mucocutaneous end-organs are formed after birth, with few in newborn infants and many well-organized endings in adults.[1]
Cold & Taylor (1999), citing Winkelmann (1959), stated that the foreskin (prepuce) is primary erogenous tissue;[4] Alanis & Lucidi (2004) describe this as speculative and unproven.[5]
Sorrels et al. (2007) carried out their work in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. They studied 163 male subjects which included both circumcised and men with intact foreskins. Nineteen locations on the penis were tested with the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament touch-test. The glans of the intact males was found to have greater sensation than the glans of the non-intact males. The area of greatest sensation on the non-intact males was the circumcision scar. Intact males had five areas located on the foreskin of significantly greater sensation than the circumcision scar on the foreskin. The preputial mucosa, the mucocutaneous boundary and the ridged band were found to be areas of great sensation on the intact penis.[6] Taylor has postulated that the ridged band is sensitive to movement.[7]
Schober et al. (2009) carried out their work in the northeastern United States. They studied 81 male subjects of whom only eleven had intact foreskins. The balance were circumcised. For that reason, Schober et al. excluded the foreskins of the foreskinned subjects from study. Their findings represent the erogenous quality of the circumcised penis. Ranked by self-reported degree of ratings of 'sexual pleasure' the most sensitive part of the circumcised penis according to Schober et al. is the ventral area 'underside of the glans', followed by "'underside of the penile shaft', 'upper side of the glans', 'left and right sides of the glans', 'one or both sides of the penis', 'upper side of the penile shaft', 'foreskin' (11 subjects), 'skin between the scrotum and anus', 'back side of the scrotum', 'front side of the scrotum', and 'around anus'".[8]
Males can also be aroused by stimulation to the sides of the glans and penis, upper side of the glans, the foreskin, the front side of the scrotum, the skin between the scrotum and anus perineum, and around the anus.[8] The prostate gland may be stimulated from inside the rectum, or by applying pressure on the base of the perineum near the anus. Men who report the sensation of prostate and seminal vesicles stimulation often give descriptions similar to females' accounts of G-Spot stimulation.[9]
Erogenous zones in the pubic area of females are parts of the vulva, especially the clitoris.[10][11][12][13] The vagina also has concentrations of the nerve endings that can provide pleasurable sensations during sexual activity when stimulated in a way that the particular woman enjoys, but the outer one-third of the vagina, especially near the opening, contains the majority of the vaginal nerve endings, making it more sensitive to touch than the inner two-thirds of the vaginal barrel.[11][12][13]
Within the anterior wall of the vagina, there is a patch of ribbed rough tissue which has a texture that is sometimes described as similar to the palate (the roof of a mouth) or a raspberry, and may feel spongy when a woman is sexually aroused. This is the urethral sponge, which may also be the location of the G-Spot – a structure described as a bean-shaped area of the vagina that some women report is an erogenous zone which, when stimulated, can lead to strong sexual arousal, powerful orgasms and female ejaculation.[9][14] The existence of the G-Spot and whether or not it is a distinct structure is debated among researchers, as its location can vary from woman to woman, appears to be nonexistent in some women and scientists generally believe that it is an extension of the clitoris.[10][15][16]
The lips and tongue are sensitive and used during kissing and caressing.
Many women find a gentle scalp massage, or any stimulation of the hair follicles, to be anywhere from relaxing to extremely stimulating. Men may also enjoy similar stimulation.
The neck, clavicle area and the back of the neck are very sensitive in both males and females, which can be stimulated by licking, kissing or light caressing. Some people also like being bitten gently in these areas, often to the point that a "hickey", or "love-bite" is formed.
Some people find whispering or breathing softly in the ear to be pleasurable and relaxing, as well as licking, biting, caressing and/or kissing it especially the area of and behind the earlobe.
The areola and nipple contain Golgi-Mazzoni, Vater-Pacini and genital corpuscles. No Meissner's corpuscles and few organized nerve endings are present.[1] There are concentrations of nerve tissue in the area of ducts and masses of smooth muscle. The hair surrounding the areola adds additional sensory tissue. The mass of smooth muscle and glandular-duct tissue in the nipple and areola block the development of normal dermal nerve networks which are present in other erogenous regions and the development of special end organs. The entire breast has a network of nerve endings, and it has the same number of nerve endings no matter how large it is. Intense stimulation of a person's nipples may result in a surge in the production of oxytocin and prolactin which could have a significant effect on his or her genitals. Having the chest, breasts and nipples stimulated manually (hands), digitally (fingers, toes) and/or orally (mouth, lips, teeth, tongue) is a pleasurable experience enjoyed by many people of both sexes.
Many people find stimulation (kissing, biting, scratching, tickling, caressing) of the abdomen to be pleasurable, especially close to the pubic region. It can cause strong arousal in men and women, in some even stronger than stimulation of the genitals. The navel is one of the many erogenous zones that has heightened sensitivity.[17] In a 1982 study of eroticism in dress entitled "Skin to Skin," Prudence Glynn claimed that the waist symbolized virginity and that it was the first place that a man would touch a woman "when indicating more than a formal courtesy".[18][19] The navel and the region below when touched by the finger or the tip of the tongue result in the production of erotic sensations.[17][20] Madonna has told in an interview to the SPIN magazine (May 1985 issue),"When I stick my finger in my belly button, I feel a nerve in the center of my body shoot up my spine".[21] This is because the navel and the genitals have a common tissue origin, and in some people this connection still exists so that stimulation of the navel will elicit a distinct tickle in the genitals.[22]
Another erogenous zone is located near the base of the spine/tailbone.[23]
The skin of the arms, and specifically the softer skin of the inner arms and across the creased mid-arm bend covering the ventral side of the elbow, are highly sensitive to manual or lingual stimulation. Caressing with fingers or tongue, more vigorous kneading, and butterfly kissing can initiate arousal and, in some cases, induce clitoral/vaginal orgasm or penile ejaculation without direct contact with the latter areas. The mid-arm bend is especially sensitive due to the thinner skin found there, which makes nerve endings more accessible. Arm sensitivity may be reduced or concentrated to a more narrow range by excessive muscularity or obesity on the one hand, or transformed to uncomfortable tenderness by excessive thinness on the other.
Some consider the armpits to be an erogenous zone. If pheromones exist for humans, they would likely be secreted by a mixture of liquid from the sebaceous glands with other organic compounds in the body.[24] George Preti, an organic chemist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia and Winnefred Cutler of the University of Pennsylvania's psychology department, discovered that women with irregular menstrual cycles became regular when exposed to male underarm extracts.[24] They hypothesized that the only explanation was that underarms contain pheromones, as there was no other explanation for the effects, which mirrored how pheromones affect other mammals.[24]
The fingertips have many nerves and are responsive to very light touches, like the brushing of a tongue, light fingernail scratching or teeth stroking. The sides of the fingers are somewhat less sensitive and more ticklish.[citation needed] Both light and firmer touches work well at the junction of the fingers. Human fingertips are the second-most sensitive parts of the body, after the tongue.
The thighs can be sensitive to touch.
An exaggerated tickle on the back of the legs and knees can also be sensitive for some.
Feet and toes[edit]
Because of the concentration of nerve endings in the sole and digits of the human foot, and possibly to the close proximity of the area of the brain dealing with tactile sensations from the feet and the area dealing with sensations from the genitals, the sensations produced by sucking or licking the feet can be pleasurable to some people. Similarly, massaging the sole of the foot produces similar stimulation. Many people are extremely ticklish in the foot area, especially on the bottom of the soles.

Harvest Moon 64

On paper it sounds rather banal and routine, but in practice the game is addictive and routine... You're in total control of your destiny, and you become addicted in trying to live the best life possible.
Someone out there obviously thought that creating a simulation of real-life farming was a pretty good idea -- the worrying thing is that they might just be right! It may be all too much like hard work but this game can make growing cabbages seem as addictive as Hagen Das ice-cream!
We had entirely too much fun playing it for hours on end and disregarding all of the ways the game comes up short. An extremely engaging original experience on the N64. Doesn't quite satisfy the RPG-thirst, but you won't be able to put it down once you start playing.
Though admittedly not for everyone, Harvest Moon 64 is a strangely compelling, original little game that makes hours melt away incomprehensibly.
Harvest Moon 64 features no aliens whatsoever. While were at it, there are no dancing monkeys for you to "be". Dont even think about laying waste to some hellish underground network with your super-powered death rays, either. Doesnt sound like fun? Neither does collecting a hundred and fifty animals but look how well pokemon turned out.
The concept is great and the game's largely fun to play. Harvest Moon 64 does have some technical downsides to it, however, so you may just want to give the Nintendo 64 a rest and fire up your Game Boy -- all in all, that version is generally considered more stable.
I was never a tamagotchi fan or even an RPG fan but this game actually proves to me why this genre is so involving. You really do dive into the life and mindset of the character. It's fresh, it's different and it's captivating. You'll enjoy it in a strange way. Kind of like how watching the TV show "Cops" is so strangely addictive.

(2.)Unplug the stock bulb from its harness and remove it.
(3.)Place the supplied adhesive shock-reducing pad to the HID ballast and bolt onto the lower right side of the headlight bucket with the kit's brackets and mounting hardware.
(4.)Remove the four screws that hold the bucket assembly to the bike and install the new outer 7-inch chrome ring in the reverse order of removal.
(5.)Install the inner 7-inch mount using the supplied fasteners and adjustment springs between the outer ring and the inner mount.
(6.)Reconnect the light to the ballast into the appropriate location, then insert into its proper mounting location.
(7.)Secure the lamp with the OE retaining ring and aim the lights correctly before riding the bike so as not to massively blind any oncoming traffic.
(8.)Here it is installed in the fairing and ready to aid you in seeing every single crack in the road ahead.
We had the chance to see the drastic difference of an HID light compared to a stock FL light on a long ride home on some of the darkest backroads in Southern California, and immediately we just had to get our baggers some white light. The next day, we got in touch with Kuryakyn and got our hands on one of their Xe7R Xsighting Lighting HID headlamp kits.
After doing some reading up on the HID kit, we found that it has a few more benefits than we thought. It reduces draw by 47 percent, lasts 10 times longer than a halogen bulb and is three times brighter than an H4 lamp. The Xsighting Lighting kit also utilizes a single light source for both the high and low functions in the form of a cover that slides back and forth, eclipsing the light for the given task. The kit fits 1980-and-newer FLHT models as well as '94-and-newer Road Kings and is a direct fit that took less than two hours to install with hand tools.
The parts are top quality and fit with no bending or tweaking. The chrome on the trim rings was also top-notch. The kit came all in one box with well-thought-out and easy-to-follow directions. The one thing that we thought may have looked odd was the extension ring that came with the kit. A much-needed part of the kit, it allows a deeper area for the conversion to fit inside the bucket. Our worries were quelled after the final install. It actually looked right at home on the bike, if not better than stock.
After the install, we took the bike out to our favorite piece of dark, desolate highway for our own results and were very pleased with the HID conversion. So much so that now it looks as if we need to punch out the motor of our test bike to see if we could actually ride faster than the light's limitations.
Even in print you can see the drastic difference in the before and after photos.

wait, headphones aren't included anymore?!?!
not including a power brick is one thing, but headphones?! next you'll have to buy the USB cord seperately. not that i don't have enough sets of apple buds, and not that i use them to begin with, but still, that's a little ridiculous.

mdwsta4 - They DO include headphones...it is just saying Apple introduced 2 new sets you can buy. The nano includes the new standard set.

I hate to sound like a whiner, but it would be nice if the 8GB were available in all the colors plus black rather than being available only in black.
I understand that they're probably doing it to simplify inventory tracking and whatnot, but one reason I bought a first-generation 4GB white Nano is because I didn't like the black. Oh, well. Maybe the 3G Nano will offer more choices....

FedEx has never looked so good! New Nano 2G just arrived. It is beautiful! The packaging is wonderfully done. The registration process is seamless and embedded within iTunes7. The new headphones are very comfortable and sound a little fuller on account of the better fit.It is also nice to no longer fuss with the foam covers for good fit. Wonderful. 8Gigs in a tiny aluminun case that is great looking. There is so much joy and beauty wrapped up in a freshly opened iPod. The depressed center button is nice. Great fun. I will have to order the 80 gig soon, but my Nano is always on me so it needed to be replaced first.

But the 8Gb IS available in ALL colors plus black!

Is one side of the Headphones longer so you can lay them round ur neck?
Posted by lurchi on September 13, 2006 at 12:09 PM (PST)
to tsik: The 8G is only available in black.
I just got my 2G nano and I have to say I'm disappointed. The sound isn't nearly as good as my 1G. The new "been working on them 18 months" headphones suck, but earbuds suck anyway, can only make them so good. And it's not nearly as good looking as my black 1G nano. One more thing: Screen brighter? Who says? They looks exactly the same to me. Oh well. I was going to give the wife the old Nano when I got my new one, but she gets the new one instead. At least she's happy.
Posted by vapor on September 13, 2006 at 12:36 PM (PST)
How do they *sound*? One thing I like about my 5G 30gb iPod, is that they SOUND so much better than my 3G. Would love to rock that 8gb with the black alum. look. But not if it sounds like crap. Any reports?
Posted by Derriik on September 13, 2006 at 1:04 PM (PST)
Vapor must be looking at his display in direct sunlight because the screen is apparently brighter and cleaner.
As for sound, doing a side by side with my Sennheiser Headphones, the new Nano sounds identical to the 5G. I am no audiophile, but it sounds the same to me. As for comparing to the old Nano, the first thing I noticed out of box was the increased power. The new nano's volume is also identical to the 5G, whereas the old nano is about 15% lower output at same volume setting. I am very happy!
lurchi, the headphones are not offset, they are the same uniform build as the old apple pack ins, just redone at the earbud.
tsik, the 8GB is only available in black!
2GB: only silver
4GB: silver, green, blue or pink (no black)
8GB: only black
Posted by divigation on September 13, 2006 at 1:46 PM (PST)
yeah,yeah got it guys thanks..
8Gb ONLY in BLACK
Posted by tsik on September 13, 2006 at 2:34 PM (PST)
No!!!!!!! NO NO NO NOOOO!!!!!!!!!! How could they do this? I do a tone of research, finaly decide to buy a white nano, wait a week for it to be delivered, and use it for a few months. Then they come out with a new, better model. Great.
Posted by skywriter11 on September 13, 2006 at 3:02 PM (PST)
awesome, good to know re: sound quality...will whip out the Visa and order now.
Posted by Derriik on September 13, 2006 at 3:16 PM (PST)
I have a very hard time believing that there is really any significant sound difference between an older and newer Nano, if one uses the same headphones. Achieving reasonable transparency at the electronics level is very, very simple to do.
I have compared older 3G iPods to newer ones and found that the only audible difference that could occur was when driving a very low impedence load (e.g., 16 ohms or so). This was due to the coupling capacitor used in the output of the 3G. Even so, when driving higher impedence loads the difference is utterly negligible.
I look forward to replacing my older iPods soon, these look great.

My 8 gb black just shipped !
I wonder if I'll be able to sleep until the ding dong of PuroWoman...
Great work Steve and all the Apple team !
Posted by Dzign on September 13, 2006 at 3:45 PM (PST)
i think now you guys need to get ALL of your iPods and put them together for a family shot.!
Posted by frowc on September 13, 2006 at 7:07 PM (PST)
I returned my 1st gen nano yesterday and ordered the shuffle instead. Nothing against the new nano, but I'm gonna use the extra cash for a Mac. I was disappointed that the 8 gigger wasn't available in all colors.
Posted by Galley in Greenville, SC on September 13, 2006 at 7:25 PM (PST)
Hmmm... maybe there's something wrong with my 2G Nano? The sound quality is noticeably poorer than my 1G Nano. The sound is tinny and compressed sounding... nothing subtle... I noticed it immediently. Since I'm not reading about anybody else experiencing this I guess I got a bad one. Will call Apple tomorrow to see about a replacement. :(
Posted by vapor on September 13, 2006 at 7:37 PM (PST)
might require burn in.. i know it sounds kinda crazy, but when i got my nano, it sounded tinny and flat as well, but after a while listening to it, the sound got significantly better. other people noticed this as well, so perhaps yours might need to be burned in for a while.. leave it playing overnight at slightly higher volume than you'd normally listen to, and have a listen again and see if it sounds any better.
Posted by Kloan in Toronto, ON on September 13, 2006 at 8:15 PM (PST)
OMG i bought an 8 gig nano today, and they said all the dimensions were the same... yeah except for the dock connector, which they happened to move about 2mm to the left so now it wont work in my fm transmitter in my car or my iHome with the old nano adaptors. Are any of the companies that made older iPod accessories going to make new adaptors so that the new ones work with their products?

Proposal for a Council Decision on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States - Part II of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines {SEC(2010) 488 final} /* COM/2010/0193 final - NLE 2010/0115 */
[pic] | EUROPEAN COMMISSION | Brussels, 27.4.2010 COM(2010) 193 final 2010/0115 (NLE) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States Part II of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines {SEC(2010) 488 final} EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM On 26 March 2010, the European Council agreed to the European Commission's proposal to launch a new strategy for jobs and growth, Europe 2020[1], based on enhanced coordination of economic policies, which will focus on the key areas where action is needed to boost Europe's potential for sustainable growth and competitiveness. To that end, the European Council agreed to set EU headline targets, which constitute shared objectives guiding action of the Member states and of the Union. In the light of these targets, Member States [have set] their national targets. For its part, at EU level, the Commission will work to implement the strategy, notably through its seven 'flagship initiatives', which have been announced in the Europe 2020 Communication. The Treaty on the functioning of the EU provides that Member States are to regard their economic policies and promoting employment as matters of common concern and coordinate them within the Council. In two distinct articles, it provides that the Council is to adopt broad economic policy guidelines (Article 121) and employment guidelines (Article 148), specifying that the latter must be consistent with the former. Given this legal basis, the guidelines for employment and economic policies are presented as two distinct — but intrinsically interconnected — legal instruments: - A Council Recommendation on broad guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and of the Union -Part I of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines; - A Council Decision on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States -Part II of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines. These guidelines implemented by the above mentioned legal instruments form together the integrated guidelines for implementing the Europe 2020 strategy. The "Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines" set out the framework for the Europe 2020 strategy and reforms at Member State level. To ensure coherence and clarity, the guidelines are limited in number and reflect the European Council conclusions. The guidelines are integrated to ensure that national and EU-level policies contribute fully to achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. Following them in a synchronised manner will help Member States reap the positive spill-over effects of coordinated structural reforms, particularly within the euro area. On this basis, Member States will draw up National Reform Programmes setting out in detail the actions they will take under the new strategy, with a particular emphasis on efforts to meet the national targets. Building on monitoring by the Commission and work done in the Council, the European Council will assess every year the overall progress achieved both at EU and at national level in implementing the strategy. Macroeconomic, structural, and competitiveness developments and overall financial stability will be examined simultaneously. The "Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines" are the following: Guideline 1: Ensuring the quality and the sustainability of public finances Guideline 2: Addressing macroeconomic imbalances Guideline 3: Reducing imbalances in the euro area Guideline 4: Optimising support for R&D and innovation, strengthening the knowledge triangle and unleashing the potential of the digital economy Guideline 5: Improving resource efficiency and reducing greenhouse gases emissions Guideline 6: Improving the business and consumer environment and modernising the industrial base Guideline 7: Increasing labour market participation and reducing structural unemployment Guideline 8: Developing a skilled workforce responding to labour market needs, promoting job quality and lifelong learning Guideline 9: Improving the performance of education and training systems at all levels and increasing participation in tertiary education Guideline 10: Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty 2010/0115 (NLE) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States Part II of the Europe 2020 Integrated Guidelines THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 148(2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament[2], Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[3], Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions[4], Having regard to the opinion of the Employment Committee, Whereas: (1) The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union stipulates in Article 145 that Member States and the EU shall work towards developing a coordinated strategy for employment and particularly for promoting a skilled, trained and adaptable workforce and labour markets responsive to economic change and with a view to achieving the objectives set out in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union. Member States, having regard to national practices related to the responsibilities of management and labour, shall regard promoting employment as a matter of common concern and shall coordinate their action in this respect within the Council, in accordance with the provisions of Article 148 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. (2) The Treaty on European Union stipulates in Article 3.3 that the Union shall combat social exclusion and discrimination, and shall promote social justice and protection and provides for the Union's initiatives to ensure coordination of Member States' social policies. Article 9 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that in defining and implementing its policies and activities, the Union shall take into account requirements linked to the guarantee of adequate social protection and the fight against social exclusion. (3) The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that employment guidelines and broad economic policy guidelines are to be adopted by the Council to guide Member States' policies. (4) The Lisbon Strategy, launched in 2000, was based on an acknowledgement of the EU's need to increase its productivity and competitiveness, while enhancing social cohesion, in the face of global competition, technological change and an ageing population. The Lisbon Strategy was re-launched in 2005, after a mid-term review which led to greater focus on growth, more and better jobs. (5) The Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs helped forge consensus around the broad direction of the EU's economic and employment policies. Under the strategy, both broad economic policy guidelines and employment guidelines were adopted by the Council in 2005[5] and revised in 2008[6]. The 24 guidelines laid the foundations for the national reform programmes, outlining the key macro-economic, micro-economic and labour market reform priorities for the EU as a whole. However, experience shows that the guidelines did not set clear enough priorities and that links between them could have been stronger. This limited their impact on national policy-making. (6) The financial and economic crisis that started in 2008 resulted in a significant loss in jobs and potential output and has led to a dramatic deterioration in public finances. The European Economic Recovery Plan[7] has nevertheless helped Member States to deal with the crisis, partly through a coordinated fiscal stimulus, with the euro providing an anchor for macroeconomic stability. The crisis therefore showed that coordination of Union's policies can deliver significant results if it is strengthened and rendered effective. The crisis also underscored the close interdependence of the Member States' economies and labour markets. (7) The Commission proposed to set up a new strategy for the next decade, the Europe 2020 Strategy[8], to enable the EU to emerge stronger from the crisis, and to turn its economy towards smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Five headline targets, listed under the relevant guidelines, constitute shared objectives guiding the action of the Member States and of the Union. Member States should make every effort to meet the national targets and to remove the bottlenecks that constrain growth. (8) As part of comprehensive 'exit strategies' for the economic crisis, Member States should carry out ambitious reforms to ensure macroeconomic stability and the sustainability of public finance, improve competitiveness, reduce macroeconomic imbalances and enhance labour market performance. The withdrawal of the fiscal stimulus should be implemented and coordinated within the framework of the Stability and Growth Pact. (9) Within the Europe 2020 strategy, Member States should implement reforms aimed at 'smart growth', i.e. growth driven by knowledge and innovation. Reforms should aim at improving the quality of education, ensuring access for all, and strengthening research and business performance in order to promote innovation and knowledge transfer throughout the EU. They should encourage entrepreneurship and help to turn creative ideas into innovative products, services and processes that can create growth, quality jobs, territorial, economic and social cohesion, and address more efficiently European and global societal challenges. Making the most of information and communication technologies is essential in this context. (10) Member States should also, through their reform programmes, aim at 'sustainable growth'. Sustainable growth means building a resource-efficient, sustainable and competitive economy, a fair distribution of the cost and benefits and exploiting Europe's leadership in the race to develop new processes and technologies, including green technologies. Member States should implement the necessary reforms to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and use resources efficiently. They should also improve the business environment, stimulate creation of green jobs and modernise their industrial base. (11) Member States' reform programmes should also aim at 'inclusive growth'. Inclusive growth means building a cohesive society in which people are empowered to anticipate and manage change, thus to actively participate in society and economy. Member States' reforms should therefore ensure access and opportunities for all throughout the lifecycle, thus reducing poverty and social exclusion, through removing barriers to labour market participation especially for women, older workers, young people, disabled and legal migrants. They should also make sure that the benefits of economic growth reach all citizens and all regions. Ensuring effective functioning of the labour markets through investing in successful transitions, appropriate skills development, rising job quality and fighting segmentation, structural unemployment and inactivity while ensuring adequate, sustainable social protection and active inclusion to reduce poverty should therefore be at the heart of Member States' reform programmes. (12) The EU's and Member States' structural reforms can effectively contribute to growth and jobs if they enhance the EU's competitiveness in the global economy, open up new opportunities for Europe's exporters and provide competitive access to vital imports. Reforms should therefore take into account their external competitiveness implications to foster European growth and participation in open and fair markets worldwide. (13) The Europe 2020 strategy has to be underpinned by an integrated set of policies, which Member States should implement fully and at the same pace, in order to achieve the positive spill-over effects of coordinated structural reforms. (14) While these guidelines are addressed to Member States, the Europe 2020 strategy should be implemented in partnership with all national, regional and local authorities, closely associating parliaments, as well as social partners and representatives of civil society, who shall contribute to the elaboration of national reform programmes, to their implementation and to the overall communication on the strategy. (15) The Europe 2020 strategy is underpinned by a smaller set of guidelines, replacing the previous set of 24 and addressing employment and broad economic policy issues in a coherent manner. The guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States, annexed to this Decision, are intrinsically linked with the guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and of the Union, annexed to Council Recommendation […] of […]. Together, they form the 'Europe 2020 integrated guidelines'. (16) These new integrated guidelines reflect the conclusions of the European Council. They give precise guidance to the Member States on defining their national reform programmes and implementing reforms, reflecting interdependence and in line with the Stability and Growth Pact. These guidelines will form the basis for any country-specific recommendations that the Council may address to the Member States. They will also form the basis for the establishment of the Joint Employment Report sent annually by the Council and Commission to the European Council. (17) Even though they must be drawn up each year, these guidelines should remain largely stable until 2014 to ensure a focus on implementation, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The guidelines for Member States' employment policies, as set out in the Annex, are hereby adopted. These guidelines shall form part of the 'Europe 2020 integrated guidelines'. Article 2 The guidelines in the Annex shall be taken into account in the employment policies of the Member States, which shall be reported upon in national reform programmes. Member States should design reform programmes consistent with the objectives set out in the 'Europe 2020 integrated guidelines'. Article 3 This Decision is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, For the Council The President Annex: Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States Guideline 7: Increasing labour market participation and reducing structural unemployment Member States should integrate the flexicurity principles endorsed by the European Council into their labour market policies and apply them, making full use of European Social Fund support with a view to increasing labour market participation and combating segmentation and inactivity, gender inequality, whilst reducing structural unemployment. Measures to enhance flexibility and security should be both balanced and mutually reinforcing. Member States should therefore introduce a combination of flexible and reliable employment contracts, active labour market policies, effective lifelong learning, policies to promote labour mobility, and adequate social security systems to secure professional transitions accompanied by clear rights and responsibilities for the unemployed to actively seek work. Member States should step up social dialogue and tackle labour market segmentation with measures addressing temporary and precarious employment, underemployment and undeclared work. Professional mobility should be rewarded. The quality of jobs and employment conditions should be addressed by fighting low-wages and by ensuring adequate social security also for those on fixed contracts and the self-employed. Employment services should be strengthened and open to all, including young people and those threatened by unemployment with personalised services targeting those furthest away from the labour market. In order to increase competitiveness and raise participation levels, particularly for the low-skilled, and in line with economic policy guideline 2, Member States should review tax and benefit systems and the capacity of public services to provide the necessary support. Member States should increase labour force participation through policies to promote active ageing, gender equality and equal pay and labour market integration of young people, disabled, legal migrants and other vulnerable groups. Work-life balance policies with the provision of affordable care and innovation in work organisation should be geared to raising employment rates, particularly among youth, older workers and women, in particular to retain highly-skilled women in scientific and technical fields. Member States should also remove barriers to labour market entry for newcomers, support self-employment and job creation in areas including green employment and care and promote social innovation. The EU headline target, on the basis of which Member States will set their national targets, is of aiming to bring by 2020 to 75% the employment rate for women and men aged 20-64 including through the greater participation of youth, older workers and low skilled workers and the better integration of legal migrants. Guideline 8: Developing a skilled workforce responding to labour market needs, promoting job quality and lifelong learning Member States should promote productivity and employability through an adequate supply of knowledge and skills to match current and future demand in the labour market. Quality initial education and attractive vocational training must be complemented with effective incentives for lifelong learning, second-chance opportunities, ensuring every adult the chance to move one step up in their qualification, and by targeted migration and integration policies. Member States should develop systems for recognising acquired competencies, remove barriers to occupational and geographical mobility of workers, promote the acquisition of transversal competences and creativity, and focus their efforts particularly on supporting those with low skills and increasing the employability of older workers, while at the same time enhance the training, skills and experience of highly skilled workers, including researchers. In cooperation with social partners and business, Member States should improve access to training, strengthen education and career guidance combined with systematic information on new job openings and opportunities, promotion of entrepreneurship and enhanced anticipation of skill needs. Investment in human resource development, up-skilling and participation in lifelong learning schemes should be promoted through joint financial contributions from governments, individuals and employers. To support young people and in particular those not in employment, education or training, Member States in cooperation with the social partners, should enact schemes to help recent graduates find initial employment or further education and training opportunities, including apprenticeships, and intervene rapidly when young people become unemployed. Regular monitoring of the performance of up-skilling and anticipation policies should help identify areas for improvement and increase the responsiveness of education and training systems to labour market needs. EU funds should be fully mobilised by Member States to support these objectives. Guideline 9: Improving the performance of education and training systems at all levels and increasing participation in tertiary education In order to ensure access to quality education and training for all and to improve educational outcomes, Member States should invest efficiently in education and training systems notably to raise the skill level of the EU's workforce, allowing it to meet the rapidly changing needs of modern labour markets. Action should cover all sectors (from early childhood education and schools through to higher education, vocational education and training, as well as adult training) taking also into account learning in informal and non-formal contexts. Reforms should aim to ensure the acquisition of the key competencies that every individual needs for success in a knowledge-based economy, notably in terms of employability, further learning, or ICT skills. Steps should be taken to ensure learning mobility of young people and teachers becomes the norm. Member States should improve the openness and relevance of education and training systems, particularly by implementing national qualification frameworks enabling flexible learning pathways and by developing partnerships between the worlds of education/training and work. The teaching profession should be made more attractive. Higher education should become more open to non-traditional learners and participation in tertiary or equivalent education should be increased. With a view to reducing the number of young people not in employment, education, or training, Member States should take all necessary steps to prevent early school leaving. The EU headline target, on the basis of which Member States will set their national targets, is to reduce the drop out rate to 10%, whilst increasing the share of the population aged 30-34 having completed tertiary or equivalent education to at least 40% in 2020. Guideline 10: Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty Member States' efforts to reduce poverty should be aimed at promoting full participation in society and economy and extending employment opportunities, making full use of the European Social Fund. Efforts should also concentrate on ensuring equal opportunities, including through access to affordable, sustainable and high quality services and public services (including online services, in line with guideline 4) and in particular health care. Member States should put in place effective anti-discrimination measures. Equally, to fight social exclusion, empower people and promote labour market participation, social protection systems, lifelong learning and active inclusion policies should be enhanced to create opportunities at different stages of people's lives and shield them from the risk of exclusion. Social security and pension systems must be modernised to ensure that they can be fully deployed to ensure adequate income support and access to healthcare — thus providing social cohesion — whilst at the same time remaining financially sustainable. Benefit systems should focus on ensuring income security during transitions and reducing poverty, in particular among groups most at risk from social exclusion, such as one-parent families, minorities, people with disabilities, children and young people, elderly women and men, legal migrants and the homeless. Member States should also actively promote the social economy and social innovation in support of the most vulnerable. The EU headline target, on the basis of which Member States will set their national targets, is to reduce by 25% the number of Europeans living below the national poverty lines, lifting over 20 million people out of poverty.

Hunting for India's deadliest man-eating tiger
"Dasgupta can do what he likes. I'm not going into the bush on foot."
On the trail of India's deadliest man-eating tiger for years, nerves are on edge - and reputations too.
Hunter Ramesh Chauhan is pacing, well, like a caged animal.
Team leader Ashish Dasgupta is out seeking new intelligence on the tiger that may have claimed 10 lives already.
They are not even sure it is still alive: there's a rumour local Sikhs killed the tiger but are hushing it up.
Arvind Kejriwal: The politician with a hole in his sweater
There it was: clean, white and defiant.
A circle of Arvind Kejriwal's shirt was poking from a hole in the middle of his rumpled sweater. And below, his bare feet were clad in well-worn sandals with a relaxed coating of dust.
Delhi 1984: India's Congress party still struggling to escape the past
Santok Singh's melancholy tones hang in the air as he reads from the Granth, the Sikh holy book.
But his gurdwara or temple is empty, even though his evening prayer session in the Delhi suburb of Trilokpuri is well underway.
Delhi just a stepping stone for Arvind Kejriwal?
The only surprise about Arvind Kejriwal's resignation as Delhi's chief minister would have been if he hadn't gone.
His actions since taking over the job only six weeks ago have all pointed this way - including the final showdown over his anti-corruption bill.
India: Two held over gang rape of Danish woman in Delhi
It's hard to imagine a worse headline for India's image abroad, after the battering it has taken over the issue of rape.
After the fatal assault on a Delhi student just over a year ago, the city has earned the unwelcome title "India's rape capital". The picture is not as bad as the media paints, Indian officials say. Other countries also have a rape problem, they protest.
Golden Temple SAS claims overlooked in India
Claims that Britain's Special Air Service regiment may have its fingerprints on the bloody storming of the Sikh Golden Temple 30 years ago have been getting a lot more attention back in the UK than here in India.
For outsiders looking in, that may seem surprising, given the traumatic impact of those events.

Week before last, entirely too many people took over a street corner in Harlem to have a DIY fish fry of epic proportions!
21CP is looking at a cultural moment or aesthetic that's running parallel to the environmental movement. This cultural moment doesn't mention environmentalism by name. You can't do the math on its carbon footprint. It's not about melting glaciers or polar bears or hockey sticks or Earth Hour.
It's about learning how to do things, keeping bees, engaging technology, reading Make Magazine, becoming compost fanatics, supporting urban farming and growing their own food and serving it to their friends in the context of dinner parties that are becoming increasingly baroque DIY events. This feels like a very fertile moment. There are threats that are clearly defined enough to start doing something, and these threats happen to be kind of vague, slow moving. Existentially perplexling.
So instead of focusing on the point of this world-sized, slow-as-a-glacier-melting-in-the-Andes knife point that's
We are engaging with what actually put us here and what we can do about it. We are not yet doing the practical things we need to do on a policy level, like make carbon expensive. Hell, the biggest topic of conversation at the dinner parties I've been to is how to get all the waste composted! But you know, figuring out how to compost a regular dinner party leads to figuring out how to compost in a whole community, and that's how we change our waste infrastructure--by iteration. We are doing the cultural work necessary to get there. We are looking at our garbage, our land, our food, our time, our computers, our data. We are redefining abundance. Creating an economy that's not built on plastic crap. And we are doing this in ways that say Yes instead of No.

Feb 20, 2014If I where stuck in a room, with only one game to play forever, it would be Borderlands 2. After 18 months of playing this game, and still not tiring from it at all, I can easily say this is the best game ever made. Can wait to do it all again when it comes out on the PlayStation Vita.
Feb 5, 2014
Jan 12, 2014I loved this game, it had a great campaign and playing online was just amazing, the DLC is really good if you loved the campaign as much as I did and want to play more ! :) (I have played more than 3 days all up on it)
Jan 2, 2014
Nov 27, 2013Borderlands 2 is a shameless loot grind.
Sorry... let me rephrase that.
Borderlands 2 is an extremely fun shameless loot grind, with great humor, wonderful cooperative play, tons of exploration, and wall sphincters. -
Nov 24, 2013
Nov 8, 2013The game is improved greatly from its predecessor. The collecting loot is addicting and the multiplayer is very fun. This game is a must have for coop buddies or couples. 9/10
Oct 6, 2013
Aug 19, 2013A unique take on the FPS, it greatly improves upon it's predecessor with tons of gut/ns, glory, and EXPLOSIONS!
Tons of low-brow humor and fun to be had here. -
Aug 17, 2013A game that plays on being a complete badass and the fun aspect of modern fps games. With an interesting world to explore, fun and addictive gameplay. With very memorable characters and over 1 bajillion guns and easter eggs to keep you on your feet as a vault hunter.

Aug 13, 2013
Jul 26, 2013I have played through this game about 1.5 times. It is an absolute masterpiece of gaming. Great characters, rewarding loot, and infinite weapon combos. Do not doubt buying this game. One of the best fps/RPGs of this generation.
Jul 9, 2013Great game. Very fun. Very funny and im glad i tried it. They made this game very well. I cant think of any problem other than the loot being the kind that only spawns once so whoever gets it gets it and no one else (for the guns anyway). Other than that its all good.
Jun 29, 2013
Jun 19, 2013Truly great experience the characters were funny the story was great the game is addicting. I played through the story many times and it never gets old, and I will continue to play it through out the summer until GTA 5 comes out.
Jun 5, 2013
May 27, 2013This is a super fun and funny game to play by yourself or especially with your friends the endless loot and humour of this game will keep you comming back for more. It plays much like the first with a few tweaks and an actual story behind the mayhem, great game!

Apr 14, 2013This game makes my peepee hard. Great dialogue, possibly the best villain EVER, and tight controls. I'm not even a fan of FPS, but I loved every second of this game.
Apr 14, 2013
Mar 11, 2013One of the funnest games I've played in recent memory. The constant weapon/shield/class mod upgrades, BadAss points, skill tree and character outfit customization make this game very addicting. Online play is superb and very engaging. If you're looking for something to take over your life. This is the game. Highly recommend it.

Feb 21, 2013
Feb 6, 2013Hooked me in a way the first game never did, this game is fantastic by yourself and even more fun with friends. Plus it has the huge choice of weapons that all fans of the series are looking for. Here's to hoping that the rest of the series is more similar to this game than to the first.
Feb 5, 2013This game is so good awesome gameplay the co-op is so much fun and there is so much content me and my friend are trying to do everything we have like 75 hours and we still have like 70 missions left even the villain is good but the story is just ok but you dont play it for story but anyways get this game

Jan 1, 2013Everythig about this game says streamlined,professional,ingenious,witty, comical, hilarious, and of course, VIOLENT! I was skeptical starting this game, but now, i can't stop! it's rich storyline, nonsensical characters, intricate gameplay, and of course the millions of weapons available make this a gem to keep you enraptured for a long time.

Dec 4, 2012This game is absolutely amazing. It has a very nice graphics and a wonderful cell shading style to it.
I like how many guns there are in the game. One thing that is a bit annoying, is that there is no head shots, only critical hits. But you can get over that. I would recommend this game greatly for anyone who were a fan of the previous game . -
Dec 4, 2012I didn't play the first one but that's okay because this game rules. That's a well spent 65 bucks right here. Fun, funny, enjoyable, thrilling and awe-inspiring. Yeah, man
Dec 3, 2012A unique take on the FPS, it greatly improves upon it's predecessor with tons of gut/ns, glory, and EXPLOSIONS!
Tons of low-brow humor and fun to be had here. -
Dec 3, 2012This game is truly an upgrade from the first, which was still by far a a gem. Its fluid game play, "Biziliandy guns," and an incredibly memorable cast of characters and humor leaves just about nothing left to be desired. The DLC is also just as profound though quite shorter. If you love the loot mechanics and its FPS style and humor, don miss this game.
Dec 1, 2012
Nov 29, 2012Take the original Borderlands, add direction and storyline. This is epic entertainment! Smart, funny and addictive. Tiny Tina alone makes it worth the fee! Take'em, Take'em, Take'em!
Nov 28, 2012Never played BL1 but I love the rpg fps loot whoring mess of a funny chaotic world that is BL2. I always need to get my fix in daily but do get tired of playing after an hour or two and because of that lack of full bore addiction I gave it a 9

Nov 24, 2012borderlands 2 is great.the gameplay is great theres a lot of missions and side quest.very funny i suprised for good becuase i dont like that kind of games i will give it 9/10
Nov 21, 2012Here's how this goes: put game in, start game up, hilarity ensues. Great game, very entertaining,but eventually repetitive. I can only start up the campaign and listen to Handsome Jack so many times. Still a solid 9.
Nov 20, 2012
Nov 19, 2012
Nov 13, 2012I can't stop playing this game. It is so much fun. I enjoyed Borderlands 1, but I got bored of it fairly quick. This is not the case with 2. Over 60 hours and I am still loving it. It follows the same formula as Borderlands 1 but it improves on pretty much everything. It might not be the perfect game, but I am giving it a perfect 10, as I have enjoyed evey minute.

Nov 7, 2012Only one of the masterpieces of this console generation! While other game developers fall all over themselves trying to ape Call of Duty, Gearbox has perfected the cooperative experience and makes teaming up with your friends to fight the machine an addictive and endlessly gratifying experience.
Oct 31, 2012They took the original borderlands game and improved everything about it. There are a lot of options for character customization and lots of options on the different skill trees to change the way your character plays. The action is intense and the looting is addictive. If you don't have it yet you should pick it up, you won't regret it.
Oct 31, 2012This game is fantastic... its so much more fun than 1 see my review here at my school's site http://palyvoice.com/2012/10/30/borderlands-2-sets-the-bar-for-shooters/
Oct 30, 2012I have played many hours of this game and can honestly say it is fantastic!!! After all this time since playing Borderlands I forgot just how awesome it was until I played this fantastic upgrade from the original. This game is hilarious and the game play is still fantastic. If this game didn't seem like a complete copy of the original I'd give it a perfect 10.

Oct 28, 2012This game is waaaay better then the first borderlands, its funner, smother and looks **** awesome this is easily one of my newest Favorite games of all time, defiantly worth buying
Oct 27, 2012A great game with a unique art style and tongue in cheek humour. The technical side is great with good textures but let down by texture pop-in.The quests are more varied than its predecessor, but let down by some repetitive fetch quests. Overall 9.3/10-Outstanding

Oct 6, 2012This game takes you back to Pandora in a great way. The gameplay, guns, story, characters, and guns have been drastically improved compared to the original Borderlands and it makes it a fantastic game to play. At every moment of the game something (or someone) is trying to kill you and you get plenty of opportunities to try and kill them right back. This game is utterly lovely to play.

Sep 30, 2012I made a 8 minute review for the Xbox360 version of BL2 and I am certain that I am the only person in the world so far that has made a review for the game and gotten every achievement which made me play in other ways no one else played the game and finding various bugs and different ways to play the game.
Heres the review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrja37eBRX4 -
Sep 27, 2012
Sep 27, 2012Great game even better than the 1st love the charectars, story and humor. The side quests kept me interested for hours. old favourites make a fantastic return and gameplay has been vastly improved as well. I tilt my hat (if i had one)
Sep 26, 2012Exactly what a sequel should be, It takes everything good about the first game improves it, and adds its own flavor and humor into what was already an amazingly perfect game. Endless hours of exploring side quests and a thrilling story (in addition to play through 2) Borderlands 2 is not one to disappoint.

Sep 25, 2012Once in awhile you pick a game up off the shelf and get it home and actually can't stop playing the damn thing :).
It makes us all feel good that we have spent our money on a product worth having as well as a company worth supporting. Every other company needs to stop and take a look at how these guys are doing it and reevaluate their development.
Love it! -

Sep 24, 2012Game is great, it has really sucked me in. Wasn't so thrilled with the tutorial part at the beginning as it really has a super slow pace. I hope it is skippable on my second play through as I would hate to have to repeat it. Overall I'm really pleased with the game.
Sep 24, 2012
Sep 23, 2012Spectacular game. Do as many of the side missions as possible. They are hilarious and sometimes both challenging and hilarious. It's spectacular. Everything from Borderlands 1 that made it amazing are here and improved 10 fold. I've never had so much fun finding new guns in a video game ever. It's like finding new blades in any given RPG, only these go boom.
Sep 22, 2012This is a great game and a huge improvement over the original borderlands. Don't listen to the 3-5 hour in reviews, the quests and enemies get better as you go
Oct 27, 2012
Nov 10, 2012It may be a lot more of the same, but it's prettier, smoother, longer, and filled with more stuff.
Nov 5, 2012In the end, I have to say that Borderlands 2 serves as a wonderful example of how to make a sequel work.
Oct 31, 2012In conclusion, Borderlands 2 is a significant improvement on the original; it sharpens up the narrative, the core game progression, the visual theme and many other fundamental aspects that needed adjustment.
