PLATTSBURGH — The proposed 2014 budget for the City of Plattsburgh would increase the tax levy by the maximum amount allowed under the state cap.
The levy is slated to go up 2.32 percent in Mayor Donald Kasprzak's proposed plan, while the tax rate would go down 1.5 percent.
Kasprzak presented his budget plan Friday. It features a proposed tax rate of $10.59 per $1,000 of assessed property value, and a total levy — the amount to be raised by taxes — of $9,877,470.
"This budget was as difficult as any budget I've done since I became mayor in 2007," he said.
"We've had increases again in retirement, health care, employee benefits and personnel costs, and they all have an impact."
The City Charter requires the mayor to submit his budget proposal by Oct. 1 of each year. The Common Council then has until Jan. 9 to make changes and approve a final package.
Despite the increase in costs, Kasprzak said, his budget plan meets the state-imposed tax cap, which for the city will be 2.32 percent.
The cap for 2014 is based on a 1.66 percent rate of inflation set by the state and a .66 percent rate of growth for the city, which is allowed under the state guidelines.
"While I understand any tax increase affects each and every city resident and business owner, to maintain the level of services the taxpayers expect and deserve, this increase is necessary in 2014," the mayor said.
"My budget, however, does not include increases in the city water, sewer, garbage or electric rates for 2014."
To produce his $54.2 million budget package, the mayor used about $1.8 million in fund balance, leaving only about $722,000, which is about 3 percent of the general fund, below the state-recommended 5 to 10 percent.
Councilor James Calnon (I-Ward 4), who as mayor pro tem serves as the city's budget officer, said he is concerned about the low fund-balance projection but figures it might increase based on what is left over at the end of this year.

|Claypool helps clients realize their dreams
|Wednesday, May 08, 2013 12:18 AM
DELPHOS—When someone decides to sell their home, they usually want it to happen as quickly as possible and with minimal complications. The same can be said for someone looking to buy a home. A real estate agent is someone in a position to help in either situation.
Lynn Claypool, a sales agent/broker at Schrader Realty, says she made the decision to become a real estate agent after being in the market for a house of her own.
"Around that time, we were looking at houses ourselves and I really enjoyed just going through all the different homes and seeing the different styles," she said. "I was a stay-at-home mom and then I started to look for something that would provide me with extra income but also offer some flexibility. Real estate seemed like a good fit."
Once she decided to enter real estate, Claypool took four classes and a test to acquire her agent's license in 2004. In 2006 she got her broker's license.
"A broker has the opportunity to go out and work on their own," she said. "A sales agent has to work under a broker. I was with another agency for eight years before I switched to Schrader."
As for whether or not she will strike out on her own as a broker, Claypool says she doesn't see it happening anytime soon.
"There's always the possibility but I won't do it while my kids are still young. Lauren is 20, Brittney is 17 and Kristina is 13," she said. "I'm happy where I am right now. I have it good with Krista (Schrader), she's a wonderful person to work for."
No two days are the same for Claypool but her job duties are always consistent.
"I'm usually out showing houses or taking care of the different properties I have," she said. "There are multiple listings for properties, so all of us kind of work together. We don't just show our own listings. If someone wants to see a house that's under another broker, I can show it to them."
"I also do some market analysis for banks who want to know where the market is to bid on a home," she added. "The market has been steady. I've been working a little harder than I was a few years ago but if you're working hard at it, you can do well."
While Claypool is a full time agent for Schrader, she also works for SAFY.
"People always say 'so real estate is your part time job,'" She said. "No, they're both full time jobs. There are no off days. The other day I took a half-day off to shampoo my carpets. I got a call from a client wanting to see a listing I have in Lima, so I stopped what I was doing and drove over there. After I got back home, another client called wanting to see the same property. I could've said no, that it was my day off, but then they could've gotten another agent to show it to them. That's one thing about this job, whatever you put into it is what you get back."
For those who have plans to sell their homes, Claypool has a nugget of advice.
"The less personalization there is, the easier it is for people to see themselves in your home," she said. "If you aren't using something, put it away, just de-clutter. I know that's hard when you've lived in a home for years but the less of you someone sees, the better."
Claypool's favorite part of real estate is dealing with her clients.
"The best part for me is to see how excited people get when they get their first home. Being able to help them through that process is the greatest feeling," she said. "I love helping people realize their dreams. I have some clients now that want to downsize and move out of state. I want to help them do that. A lot of clients become lifelong friends because you spend a lot of time working with them."
"I can't think of anything I don't like about this job, there's really nothing bad," she continued. "Actually there is one thing, trying to get the signs in and out of the yards when the ground freezes."
Claypool lives in Delphos with her two younger daughters.

A 59-year-old man remains in a coma hours after Atlanta firefighters rescued him from a raging house fire early Wednesday morning. Authorities say Marvin Jackson was suffering a cardiac arrest when the fire first broke out at his northwest Atlanta home.
Four firefighters suffered burns to their hands, with one of them being transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment. That firefighter has since been released and his name is not being provided to the public.
"Looking at this house, it's hard to believe somebody lived through it," said Reginad Woodward, Jackson's childhood friend.
The fire broke out about 11:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of Northwest Drive on Tuesday. Fire crews from four stations arrived to find flames raging from within the home, giving off intense fire and smoke. They soon learned that there may be a person trapped inside of the residence.Firefighters managed to get inside of the home for a search-and-rescue operation. Authorities say the man they found inside may have been in cardiac arrest when the fire started.Asst. Fire Chief Chris Wessels said, "Our crews did a very aggressive interior attack that afforded us the opportunity to find the resident and get him out and start medical treatment so we could get him in route to the hospital to try to give him the best chance possible."Jackson remains in a coma and critical condition as of 11 a.m.
His childhood friend described Jackson as quite an artist.
Woodward said, "He always carried his brushes and pencils. He'd sit down and sketch. You know, show you sketches."
Authorities are investigating what sparked the fire.

"Taken to the road" means living on the streets. They beg for spare change, eat what they can find, and bathe in public restrooms.
This story seems to be talking about people who are voluntarily deciding to live on the streets, not people who are forced into that lifestyle. Usually people who live this way have been "failed by the system", meaning they've perhaps lost their job and all other sources of government aid have been exhausted. They might be mentally ill and unable to afford professional treatment.
I don't know if the story is set in the U.S., but a widely held opinion in this country is that America is such a wealthy nation that no one should have to live on the streets. If they do, it's a sign that the government has failed them.

He was a charter member of Paulding EMS, a Paulding County Sheriff Dept. deputy, lieutenant for the Paulding Police Reserves, and employed by Johns Manville.
But his greatest triumph was receiving Jesus Christ as his Savior and serving the Lord. His relationship with God was what he held most near and dear to his heart.

FON DU LAC, Wis. – Former Paulding County resident M. Catherine "Cate" Gary Hart, age 98, died Thursday, Nov. 21 at the Hope Hospice Center.
Cate was born to Charles A. and Glenna (Carpenter) Welsh on Oct. 6, 1915 on an Oakwood farm near the Paulding-Putnam county line. She graduated from the Oakwood High School as valedictorian in 1933, which was the year during the Great Depression when the banks closed and school was dismissed in April. In 1937, she married Eugene Gary and had three children, Jane Volk of Jackson, Mich., Bette Lindman of Alto, Wis. and Kirk Gary of Houston, who all survive.
In 1960, Gene and Cate were hired by the Paulding County commissioners to co-manage the county home where they stayed until 1969. She was hired by Maremont Corporation (Grizzly) as an industrial nurse and was employed there until 1972. Cate, then, was employed by Paulding County Social Services to administer the Child Support Program where she retired in 1983. While working for Grizzly and Social Services, she also continued her education at Defiance College, worked part-time for Ankney Insurance and performed physicals for various companies. In 1990, she bought apartments in Payne, which she remodeled, managed and resided in until she married Ray Hart, who preceded her in death in February 1996.
Cate was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church where she sang in the choir and taught Sunday school, a member of the Bayview Reading Club, the Paulding Grange and the Ohio County Home Associate. She was an excellent cook and liked to entertain, play Scrabble, enjoyed traveling, and reading. She was a wonderful storyteller who entertained her children and grandchildren.

Bromsgrove women pamper themselves at charity fund-raiser
8:20am Saturday 10th November 2012 in Local
BROMSGROVE women enjoyed pampering themselves at an evening raising money for a cancer charity.
On November 1, Revive Health Club and Spa, based at the Holiday Inn in Kidderminster Road, held a ladies night.
Women paid £6 each to participate, which included a glass of sparking wine, a cupcake and a mini treatment which was either a mini back massage, a mini Indian head massage or a file and polish.
The event was part of Breast Cancer Care's awareness month and raised £150 for the charity.
Kim McCann, from Revive Health Club and Spa, said everyone particularly loved the cupcakes which were provided by Tracey Wyre from Bromsgrove firm T'smade Cupcakes.

Phil Bray / MGM
At 46, Tom Cruise is at a crossroads career-wise. His action-man movies are not the guaranteed hits they once were, and his last serious film, "Lions for Lambs," was slaughtered by critics. After three losing bids ("Born on the Fourth of July," "Jerry Maguire," "Magnolia"), some may consider Cruise overdue to win, and his new role in "Valkyrie" certainly checks the boxes on the Oscar ballot.
He plays a true-life WW II hero as did winners Adrien Brody ("The Pianist") and William Holden ("Stalag 17") -- with a handicap a la winners Al Pacino ("Scent of a Woman") and Daniel Day-Lewis ("My Left Foot"). However, just as his "Lambs" costar Robert Redford did when he played an Englishman in "Out of Africa," Cruise has chosen not to use an accent in the movie, thereby passing up another surefire lure to catch an Oscar (Meryl Streep, "Sophie's Choice").

To prepare myself, I've been getting acquainted with the textbooks. I will be working with a Taiwanese co-teacher who I presume is bilingual. (I've been studying Mandarin for about 2 months so my skills are very limited.) I will meet the co-teacher on Monday. I don't know what the division of labor is between the two of us. I'm assuming we'll be equals, though that doesn't seem quite fair as I'm a newbie and will probably have to rely on this person heavily in the beginning. That said, any tips or insights into working with native-language co-teachers is appreciated. Many thanks.

I have been here for over ten years and had co teachers from time to time. Each experience was different but there are some basic things you need to know. 1. Their most important role is to watch your teaching methods and everything else then report back to your boss how you doing. 2. They can help with discipline problems. 3. They are great for helping how to explain a game or other activities to the kids for the first time, in Chinese. I had one co teacher who did absolutely nothing to help me. She just sat at her desk and prepared her classes for the afternoon and criticized my teaching because I wasn't doing it the way she thought it should be done. On another occasion I had a great co teacher with a great attitude that was truly amazing. Hope you get a nice one! Back to top ncarawayJoined: 15 Feb 2010Posts: 96Location: Tainan, Taiwan Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 11:58 am Post subject: Thanks for your response. This is helpful. I haven't been able to get a lot of information about how they expect things will run. What I've been able to gather so far is that the co-teacher and I will rotate leading the class. For example, I will have the class for 30 minutes, then she will have the class for 30 minutes. Maybe I'm just nervous being a newbie, but if I were in charge I don't think I'd start out by putting a "green" teacher in front of the kids alone. I speak a little Chinese but not much. Back to top 52skidooJoined: 12 Mar 2012Posts: 32Location: Taiwan Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 12:30 pm Post subject: You are welcome. I guess things are changing. I have never heard of doing that with a co teacher. But I guess it makes sense to the management. Lots of schools like having newbies because they can mold you to do things the way they want them done. Teachers with loads of experience are often inflexible. So best of luck. Hope you have a good teaching experience here. Most teachers have a good first year if their managers are half way decent. Back to top TaylorJoined: 24 Oct 2003Posts: 383Location: Texas/Taiwan Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 5:02 am Post subject: * On working with co-teachers Hi ncaraway, Best wishes as you begin teaching in Taiwan. I'd like to state that I agree with everything that 52skidoo posted. I'm guessing that you will work with different co-teachers. Some co-teachers you will like very much for their kindness and helpfulness, while others may seem to be working against you. Just let us know how things seem to be working out. (We can't predict exactly what will happen....) Don't worry about your Chinese ability. In fact, it's probably better if you don't speak a single word of Chinese in class. In fact, you will give the co-teacher "face" if you speak to her (usually a female) in English. This is not to say that it's bad to use Chinese while interacting with "local" teachers, staff, students and even the students' parents. However, it will be preferable to speak English 98% of the time. This may not be true if you are in a locale such as Miao-li, Ping-tung, or Chang-hwa--(these are quite rural areas, all things considered). Hope this is not information overload. It's nearly midnight here, so please forgive me if anything is incoherent. I'm in Texas now. I really miss Taiwan. Wish I could be there again. (I will be back someday!) Taylor P.S. Incidentally, practicing your Chinese with 4th and 5th graders in Taiwan will allow you to improve quickly. They are old enough to know how you should say things, but they are still child-like enough to point out your mistakes without sugar-coating anything! Back to top ncarawayJoined: 15 Feb 2010Posts: 96Location: Tainan, Taiwan Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 9:13 am Post subject: Hi Taylor, Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. An update: I met the co-teacher and we both met with the school administrator today to review the curriculum for the fall semester, which starts next week. More on that below. Background: This is a small buxiban that was on the brink of closing. The school's benefactors wanted to keep it going so they brought in a friend to redo everything. That person hired me as their only native English speaker. Even though I have no experience the selling point is that I'm in Taiwan permanently and they want me to forge a long-term relationship with the students. I'm game. (FWIW, I do have a TEFL Certificate). Classroom logistics: They currently have 4 classes: 2 kindergarten age and 2 elementary school age. Each will meet 3x a week for 1 hour each time. Each one hour class will be split between me and the Taiwanese co-teacher (30 minutes each). Her focus will be games and assisting with students' problems. My focus will be phonics and the primary lesson plans. Designing the lesson plans has been placed on me but I don't think it will be too difficult given the textbooks we're using (Let's Go, Hip Hip Hooray Phonics, and Scarecrow and Friends). For the kindergarten-age kids they hope to have a teaching assistant available to help me with discipline and the children's other special needs. It sounds nice but I don't think they have anyone for that position yet, and to be honest, I'm not sure they have the budget for it. If all this goes well and I prove to be popular (which isn't a given), they hope to add additional classes of high school age and even adults. That's probably another reason I was hired: I'm willing to settle for only 6 hours a week now with the possibility of more hours if I do well. After all, I am a newbie so I need to get some experience under my belt somehow. All that being said, I welcome feedback and comments. Back to top 52skidooJoined: 12 Mar 2012Posts: 32Location: Taiwan Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 1:25 pm Post subject: Glad to hear things are taking shape. I can see the management's point of using the local teacher for games, on the other hand, games are a big part of any tefler's toolbag. You are certain to face a lot of cultural differences that defy western logic. Feel free to PM me about things like that which are not job related but make a huge difference on getting by from day to day feeling good about yourself and your environment. Best wishes.

Back to top ncarawayJoined: 15 Feb 2010Posts: 96Location: Tainan, Taiwan Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 10:23 am Post subject: One year later and I thought I should offer a follow up, so here goes. There was some initial tension with the co-teacher but that has long since passed. She was somewhat cold and dismissive of assisting with tasks she thought I should do, such as administer and grade tests. This tension went away quickly and we now get along quite well. My employer placed one teaching assistant (TA) in the kindie/preschool classrooms with me to maintain order to translate as needed. The TAs are college students whose English is very good. Their presence has been mostly helpful. I've had to caution them a few times because they have a tendency to simply translate everything I say. That is problematic because I can't tell whether the students are beginning to comprehend English or if they're just responding to the TA's translation. Beyond that, my only beef is that I would like the TAs to show up a few minutes before class so I can review the lesson plan with them. As it is, I have to explain to them during class, which wastes time. Those are workplace-specific complaints, I suspect.

Home > Special Reports & Collaborations > Greasing the Wheels: The Crossroads of Campaign Money & Transportation Policy
by Lisa Gilbert & John M. Krieger, U.S. PIRG, Nov. 12, 2009
In the wake of the Minnesota I-35 bridge collapse there was enormous public outcry and recognition of the need to repair our crumbling infrastructure. Americans expected public officials to respond to the tragedy with a large scale effort to address the nearly 73,000 structurally deficient bridges in this country. The findings in this report suggest that did not happen. As Congress prepares a new multi-year, multibillion dollar transportation bill, U.S. PIRG explored the intersection of money and politics and recent transportation funding decisions.

After reportedly interviewing 10 candidates for their open head coaching job, the Portland Trail Blazers have narrowed down their search to four finalists.
According to Jason Quick at The Oregonian, Terry Stotts, Elston Turner, Steve Clifford and Kaleb Canales are the final four, and all are expected to meet with newly hired general manager Neal Olshey next week. At that point a final recommendation will be made to team owner Paul Allen.
Unless you're an NBA reporter or spend your nights sifting through coaching staff lists from around the league, it's likely that none of these names stick out.
While Canales has been acting as the team's interim head coach since Nate McMillan was fired on March 15, only Terry Stottes possesses significant NBA head coaching experience, going 114-168 in four seasons as coach the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.
But the team could decide to promote from within, turning to the 34-year-old Canales who has risen from team video intern in 2005 to assistant head coach in 2010 and dabbled in head coaching experience to close out this past season and while out in Vegas for the NBA's Rookie Summer League.

Saw a post like this on another board. What is THE best, or some of the best investments you've made in training equipment and accessories?
Mine without a doubt is my power rack. Looking back on it now, I wish I would've ponied up the money for one from Elite. Second would be my Jesup power bar, and then my Inzer forever belt third.

All the stuff I have in my garage. Granted, I didn't buy all of it. Getting out of a commercial gym was the best thing ever though.
for me the single best investment has been the GHR I have on my back porch right now. That and that first set of Spud Inc safety straps. Those straps have been worth every penny.
I was worried about training partners too. There were some workouts in November where it was me and one other person. I was wondering WTF was I thinking, and what was I going to do with all this gym equipment. Now there's 6 other people and we never have less than 5 for a training session. We're out growing my garage and looking at warehouse space in the next 3 months or so.
It was quite awhile ago that I knew I wanted a private gym. At that point, I committed myself to learning as much as possible about getting strong. It helps my own lifting, plus it makes it so I can help others. If you can help other people get strong, then they'll want to train with you. The best progress I've helped someone with is:
380 (which he didn't get and bombed)

404 error on BP links
After taking everything down from my site, I did a clean install of WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3, making sure that WP worked before I added BP.
WP is in my root folder.
I changed the permalinks from default to day and time.
I am using the BP default theme.
The only BP links that work are "log in" and "log out". Everything else returns a 404 error.
The URL is http://www.thedigitalartist2.com and is hosted on a Windows server.
I already tried an install with WPMU with the same results, and have tried several changes to the htaccess that didn't work, either.
I've done a lot of searching, but haven't been able to find an answer. And it looks as though I'm not the only one with this issue.
Thoughts? Please?

Oakwood Heritage Hospital (OHH) in Taylor broke ground yesterday on a $31 million expansion and renovation project to create a specialized surgical center of excellence focused on orthopedic care. The OHH Bone & Joint Institute will serve as the hub for innovative orthopedic care with a focus on joint replacement technology and clinical services. It will also support the Wayne State University residency programs in Orthopaedic Surgery and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation housed at the OHH campus.
"The Bone and Joint Institute represents Oakwood's continued investment and commitment in our already strong orthopedic and rehabilitation programs," said Kelly C. Smith, Chief Operating Officer, OHH. "This Institute will offer the technology and infrastructure needed to provide an unparalleled level of service and clinical expertise to our patients and the communities we serve. We already take pride in being an excellent destination to receive care and an outstanding place for our clinical team to practice its trade. This investment will allow us to impact more people in our community, be they patients, employees, residents or attending physicians."
The project will occur in a series of phases throughout 2012, including:
Orthopedic care at OHH also includes the integration of a computer navigation system in the operating rooms, a GPS-like technology that allows the surgical team to have a multi-dimensional view of a patient's joint before an incision is made with the goal of precise calculations and increased precision.
"Baby boomers are the fastest growing population for joint replacements," said Smith. "Over the next 20 years, experts predict two million joint replacements will occur and here in southeast Michigan, we expect to see a similar growth."
Oakwood Healthcare System's (OHS) total joint replacement program accounts for more than 68 percent of all total hip and knee replacements performed in greater Dearborn and western Wayne County. OHS is the only healthcare system in Michigan to have all four of its hospitals awarded the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for its hip and knee joint replacement programs.
For more information, visit Oakwood Heritage Hospital Oakwood Heritage Hospital or The Center for Orthopedics and Neurosciences. To schedule an appointment with an orthopedic specialist, call 800.543.WELL or schedule an appointment online.

"troubled economy and ethnic tensions." Reminds me of Yugoslavia's situation before it was 'balkanized.'
Rogue Republic is an innovative RTS project developed by a team of independent enthusiasts aimed to bring you a realistic yet intense C&C Generals-styled game you always dreamed about. Do not like C&C F2P for some reasons? Track Rogue Republic! The game will be released in episodes, with each episode bringing you a new campaign of the overall story arc ranging from Russian-Georgian conflict, hypothetical Turkish-Ukrainian war in the near future, WW3 and its falloutic aftermath.
"This winter was especially cold in the Eastern European nation of Ostslavia. Ostslavia is the main European producer of nuclear energy, enriched Uranium and biotechnological fuel, crucial to Europe's economy. Ostslavia still maintains a handful of tactical nuclear shells and produces engines for Russian military aircraft. Despite this, Ostslavia's troubled economy and ethnic tensions make the nation extremely unstable."
Posted by Ilves on Dec 12th, 2013
Federal Republic of Ostslavia, near future.
"This winter was especially cold in the Eastern European nation of Ostslavia.Ostslavia is the main European producer of nuclear energy, enriched Uranium and biotechnological fuel, crucial to Europe's economy. Ostslavia still maintains a handful of tactical nuclear shells and produces engines for Russian military aircraft. Despite this, Ostslavia's troubled economy and ethnic tensions make the nation extremely unstable.
Fearing that because of its economic problems Ostslavia may fall into Russia's sphere of influence, the European Union made a covert preventive strike. In the cold December's night during mysterious circumstances, the main opposition leader of the country was brutally killed by unknown armed men. The opposition instantly blamed the Ostslavic government for the incident, rallying a whole-national strike, demanding instant change of government and Regent.
What came next will hardly ever be known for sure... According to the democratic and EU media, the government became extremely nervous and reacted inadequately - they spilled chemicals from helicopters to stop the protesting mob. However it all went wrong and the frenzied mob rushed and sacked the Summer Palace, tearing apart anybody who were unlucky enough to be inside at the moment. Little is known what happened to the Regent - if here is ever alive or have been evacuated to Belarus.
However, I must tell you that this is all roughly 90% fraud. I was there in that day when the crowd rushed to the Palace. I was responsible for the defense of the capital region, call me simply Colonel. I could have prevent it. But I didn't. Why? The opposition has firmly implied to me that fulfilling my military duties will lead to me receiving my son's ear in a box. I was too weak... Now, after the brutal coup d'état I'm deep inside one of Ostslavia's secret prison complexes. I do not know if I ever get out of here, but if my message accidentally happens to see the light – I want you to know the truth about the current Ostslavic president Kossak He's a perfectly weak-willed person who fully relies on EU bolstering his ass in return for his promise to break ties with Russia and close the Ingmarazund nuclear station – the biggest in the world currently. Needless to say that's not the only concession he's going to make in order to pay off his illegal ascendance to power.
Now I will tell something that even his European patrons don't know. The mysterious "spilled chemicals" were actually spilled by Kossak's loyal officers. It's nothing other than the narrowly known "Libyan powder" – a powerful psychotropic reagent. The only problem is that it didn't actually worked first well in Ostslavia's cold climate. So they rallied thousands of wild dwellers of Transylvanian mountains and inject "Libyan powder" intravenously inside special medvans, before bringing them to the Capital. Looks like it worked to turn them into really aggressive protestors, but too much well… now New Arkaim's center is filled with frenzied half-zombies that lost their personality, but pretty full of desire to eat, regardless what or who is it. Whoever is that guy Kossak, he will end very pitifully."
- ex-Colonel Taani Zoltan, prison diaries.
Wanna know what happens next? Well... That fully depends on you. Yes, on you personally. If really like what this game is about, if you desire to play it already in 2014 or just long for pizza - make your vote for us. Every vote might be crucial. Not kidding.
Yours, RR team
Oh, almost forgot about those renders...
Let's reincarnate the true spirit of C&C, starting next year
"troubled economy and ethnic tensions." Reminds me of Yugoslavia's situation before it was 'balkanized.'
The Balkans pretty much do it on a centennial basis. And when it gets loud, the world's in for a loud century. Or at least half of it.
Europe playing Evil and killing off a pro-Europe oposition leader in order to take-over the country and associated with a power-mongering psycho. Perfect storyline and with a covert bad guy playing hero.
My comrades, we shal free our European brethren of the slaving shackles imposed to them by their leaders and media, as soon as the game is out. ;)
Before the second picture I had my doubts. If anyone wants to see higher resolution version and without any effect applied for themselves, I'll even save you time you'd have to spend googling: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N09ptTQ0yTw/Up2ZdERaFWI/AAAAAAAAGNo/Od_7Tf85MCg/s1050/maydan.jpg
Now, I do realise this is just a game, with fictional events, yadda, yadda. But this particular interpretation of actually very real events, which are the basis for the in-game events, is disgusting and in one instant changed my opinion of the game. Now I do not want to play it, ever.
Am I really missing something other than your flag or are you seriously that offended by fiction ripping a few fresh pages from reality's book?
Because I sure do hope you were just as offended when Generals went and capitalised on the War on Terror. Or over every single recent game capitalising on the fact that the Middle east is lousy with folks with a knack for exploding civilians.
It is not freshness that is offensive, it is the distortion of what is actually happening. If these fictional events did not "coincide" with what the perpetrators and their supporters are spewing constantly, while peaceful protesters are brutally beaten, I wouldn't react in any way.
First of all, it is an incorrect comparison. It is not one country invading another, it is citizens protesting against numerous violations of both Ukrainian laws and basic human rights. There is no war and hopefully it will stay that way.
Secondly, I can not be just as offended at incorrect portrayal of events in Middle East, whether recent or not, because I don't live there, can't see what is happening with my own eyes. I have no certainty of which events are portrayed incorrectly and to what degree.
And I sure as hell am more concerned about what is happening in my country.
what picture are you talking about? :D
PS: I'm Ukrainian myself
Why? Getting so riled up over a fictional story? Just because it isn't "Murica **** yeah° like most RTS?
No. Apparently I'm failing to communicate what I want to, so this will be my last reply here.
I'll let you decide whether it is worth to get so riled up over peaceful protesters being portrayed as monsters who "implied" a brave and mysterious "colonel" will get his son's ear in a box and other such ****:
I bet your current sympathy for the protests will be somewhere far-far away forgotten after opposition leaders rise to power
and yeah, this is personally YOURS intepretation of an actually fictional story. I can't be responsible for one's own misinterpretations and "visions", some people find "offensive notions" even in Warcraft, lol
I see this as a comment to the recent real world events in Ukraine, but in other case if it has any chance of becoming a part of a game scenario, you should know that... zombies. Well, they are good in certain things, like... killing for example. Killing all the ******* atmosphere of political thriller.
Not zombie zombies.
Think more like...remember the bath salts thingy?

The funeral is Tuesday for a first grader who was hit and killed in a street near his school.
Seven-year-old Joshua Brown's funeral is Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Bostick Tompkins Funeral Home in Columbia. Visitation is Monday from 6-8 p.m.
"I miss my baby," said Brown's mother, Wilhelmenia Groom. "I'd give anything. This house is not a home without Joshua."
Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said Brown was struck by the truck after he ran into the road near Watkins-Nance Elementary School after school.
Brown was transported by EMS to Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital where he died, Watts said. An autopsy conducted Thursday morning shows that the boy died from multiple trauma associated with being struck by the vehicle.
Columbia Police Department spokesperson Jennifer Timmons says a school crossing guard said the pick-up truck that hit Brown was driven slowly through the school zone shortly before the accident.
Groom said Brown had no business being in front of the school. She said he was supposed to be waiting for his after-school day care van to pick him up in the back of the school.
Richland One School District officials say Brown had a substitute teacher Wednesday who was not aware of the district's after school dismissal policy.
"I'm not angry at anybody" said Groom. "I don't hate nobody. I want the truth."
The school says it is conducting an internal investigation.
Timmons says CPD has not charged the driver with anything at this time.
Richland One Superintendent Dr. Percy Mack released the following statement Thursday morning:
"The entire Richland One family is shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of a young life. One of our students, Joshua Brown, who was a first-grader at Watkins-Nance Elementary School, died after being struck by a vehicle near the school Wednesday afternoon.
District crisis teams, which include guidance counselors, psychologists and social workers, are at Watkins-Nance and neighboring schools to provide counseling and any other assistance that may be needed during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Joshua's family and with Principal Dr. Evelyn Cohens and her students, faculty and staff at Watkins-Nance."
School flags were lowered to half-staff Thursday.
The public is welcome to attend Brown's funeral.
