Killzone 3
Killzone 3's Infiltrators are a class apart. Camouflaging themselves, they mimic their opponents' identity to move unmolested through hostile territory. Then, when the pivotal moment presents itself, they break cover and wreak havoc on an unsuspecting enemy. Killzone 3 Smoke on the war ground, fire in his eyes Infiltrators …
I'm getting this and using Move
Quite soon, I played the multiplayer Beta - that was fun.
I will advise using and getting used to Move, on this game it is excellent, I noticed there was no mention in the review of Move. Pity as this is a USP on this game, it just works really well.
Also I will admit i prefer the Helgast to the ISA - it is those accents.
Why downvote me?
I have said nothing to annoy anyone.
So come on downvoter tell me why you downvoted me?
...an ISA sympathiser?
re: why downvote me
don't feed the troll
no, I am Spartacus!
as above
It's interesting to hear the reviewer's opinion that the AI is dumb - many other reviews have presented the polar opposite - one in particular mentioned setting up bot vs bot matches and watching it play out. I'll be interested to see - mine arrived today! (my copy of Killzone 3, that is, not my artificial intelligence.)
Lets be honest
had it been an Xbox exclusive, it would have been a 95%, as thats how it works these days....
Nobody cares about OtherOS. At least not PS3 owners. The only people that care it seems are Xbox owners, which is pretty weird....
could it be because
XBox 360 exclusives are actually better?
Oh don't bother replying. I know that the only reason the great god Sony is failing is because Microsoft are buying support... yadda,,,, yadda... yadda
Or we could be looking at a genuinely held view of a game that isn't quite as good as it should have been. Which is also true of pretty much every game to have come out over the last year. Except for BBFC 2 which pretty much rocks.
Pass the werthers originals.
re: fisher39
I agree that regardless of platform, an exclusive has the *potential* to be better in almost every way as each platform has specific features that can be taken advantage of better if cross platform compatibility isn't a concern.
But I personally have a distaste for anything that is an exclusive for no real reason - Halo 3 for example. 1 & 2 were released on PC and were both quite well received, I bought both and got very annoyed when MS decided I would have to buy a 360 if I wanted to play more.
GOW2 comes under the same category also.
You are 100% correct regarding BBFC2 - can't fault it, even if the singleplayer consisted of more cliché's than I can shake a stereotypical black sergeant (2 days from retirement) at.
As I've managed to get myself a PS3 I'll certainly be giving the second KZ a go, I quite liked the first back when I got in on PS2. I'll wait for the price to come down on this though - that aside the screenshots look properly good.
No U!
What do you mean no one cares?
FYI, I still run OtherOS, so that box is still unpatched.
But from the time Sony shafted us, I have *NOT* bought one Sony product or movie etc... So nope, I'll probably never really play this game, but no biggie.
So, yep, I care enough that I'm pissed off and am boycotting Sony.
If enough of us are, we'll probably make a small, but possibly tangible, dent in their profits. If not, I still get the satisfaction of not giving them money. Win-win.
It's no skin off my nose boycotting Sony stuff, it's not like I depend on them for a living or to enjoy myself. So, to those of you who have not considered this yet, do think about it.
(I would also similarly warn Apple to watch themselves - do NOT piss your customers off! Some have limits.)
Xbox exclusive ...
That's not how it works ... a very silly comment.
... an update to the British Board of Film Classification?
Some of us do care :(
I've been stuck with 3.15 for almost a year by now. I want to get the new games, but - just can't play 'em ... :(
BBC2 sounded plain daft.
It's not Warhawk is it?
Spam grenade for luck.
Review is funny, too
Try and substitute words like 'war' with 'race', 'soldiers' with 'cars', etc.
All of the sudden it could be a review about a racing game. Or a platform game. Or any other game.
Come on -- the name of the game is Killzone. And you're complaining about the singular experience of having to kill other things hour after hour?
Be real.
you didn't read that right
He's not complaining about having to kill things repeatedly, he's complaining about having to kill things in the same way repeatedly.
It's the corridor crawl that is the bad point, nothing else.
Apparently, there are a small number of scenarios which allow for different tactics (stealth, flanking), but these are too few compared to the rest, which is just wearing down the enemy before advancing to wear down the next batch.
Bad Boring Boated review BBB
Another sleep inducing game review from el reg.
I'm sorry reg guys but your reviews taste like a sandwich filled up with air.
and bear in mind that I own an Xbox, so I do not say this because I'm a Sony fanboy, (do not plan to own a PS3 until XBMC is ported to it)
[mummy] Why downvote me?
Anyone who cares enough to post just to complain about downvotes deserves them.
That isn't the point
Reading the first post - I cannot see anything contriversal, all they wanted to know is why a post was downvoted when there was no real reason.
Actually I think I know why - the Xbot army, they downvote any pro PS3 comments
Only reason to own a PS3 is because the games generally aren't available with better graphics for the PC. That said Sony has put out a remarkable amount of mediocre games such as this one this generation. They have also put out some lol epic fails like Lair.
Does seem rather a poor review
Killzone 2 was very well received so describing it the way this article did is ridiculous. It makes the article look like either the reviewer has an axe to grind or they didn't actually play the previous games.
British accent
What the hell is a British accent?
Is it Glaswegian or Cockney or Tyke or Scouse or South Wales or....
Do you by chance mean a posh English accent? If so, that is far from being synonymous with British.
Brit8ish as opposed to yanks
Ray Winstone & Malcolm McDowell are playing high up Helgans, yes that Ray Winstone.
'ave some of this...
...you ISA slaaags!
Staying in the Zone
The Reg reviewer has completely failed to mask their distaste for this style of game. The review reads as if Mr Bailey's initial response to the task was "Killzone THREE? They made another instalment of this crap?"
Killzone is an FPS, plain and simple. It's not an FPS which is trying to pretend it's an adventure game. It's got clearly defined targets, missions, processes and goals. They fit in with the storyline. Some people (myself included), like this level of focus and direction. I personally can't be bothered spending hours exploring/wandering about aimlessly (delete as appropriate) in the hope that I happen upon what I'm supposed to be doing to progress. Yes, it's fun discovering things, but not if that fun is only derived from a release from the ennui of trying to work out what it is that is to be discovered.
KZ2 was a phenomenal cinematic experience to play, and yet one which facilitated your way through the game efficiently. I've played the KZ3 demo, and I'm a bit disappointed that they've jacked up the lighting to COD's toytown level. Otherwise it's more of the same only more intense and with more weapons. It appeals to me, hence my positive feelings on it.
So, it's not that KZ3 is an awful game. It's not even that it's an awesome game. It's just that El Reg's reviewer couldn't stop himself from trashing the format and then trying to make his review fit his preconceived idea.
Playing it and enjoying it
Tescos for under £35 - no brainer really.
Well it is an enjoyable game, quite a few hints if you are not that good including the up arrow telling you where to go.
Graphics are good except there was some difficult to describe oddness with the sea.
I am about 3/4 of the way through.
The walker, the jetpack, the guns, Move support, Rico is a lot less irritating. Move ball glows Helghan goggle red.
The minuses
A bit formulaic, a bit on rails (few alternate routes), some of the cut scenes could have been played.
Move plays brilliantly, a lot easier than DS3 on KZ2 and you don't get controller confusion with other games.

Writing a State Guidebook from Cover to Cover
Genealogical researchers rely upon state guidebooks. These books list genealogical and historical sources for a jurisdiction and tell how to locate them. The well-thumbed condition of state guides at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City indicates their popularity.
Genealogical society members or professional genealogists are appropriate choices for people to write state guides since they know the records in their area so well.
But what is the best way to write one? To take the potential author from the idea stage to the conclusion, this article gives examples from the experiences of Connie Lenzen, CG in compiling and writing the Oregon Guide to Genealogical Sources.
Genealogists know the steps in genealogical research: form a plan, review published literature, evaluate and design the project accordingly, locate new information, evaluate, and prepare a report. Writing a state guide follows the same procedure. In this case, the report is the book.
Research is often a solitary process–just you and your sources. But when you decide to write a guide, invite associates to assist you with the project. I worked with members of a local genealogical society, the Genealogical Forum of Oregon. We tried out ideas on each other; discarded some, modified others, and kept some.
The first step is to review other state guides for format (see References, at end of this paper). This analysis provides an outline of what your book should look like. It also pinpoints areas where you need to locate information. State guides include some, or all, of the following:
- a history of the state
- maps showing counties and their formation
- a bibliography of TITLES, usually arranged by county
- courthouse resources
- Family History Library microfilms
- list of archives and their holdings
- addresses and holdings of genealogical and historical libraries
- addresses of cemetery associations
- vital records sources
- Internet resources
A crucial step is to decide what the book should look like; size, number of pages, and type of binding. The Genealogical Forum of Oregon has an offset press, so this dictated the page size and binding. Access to other types of duplicators might change the product.
The committee felt the easiest arrangement to read was by county. The initial plan for each county listing included a condensed history of the county; genealogical repositories with a summary of their resources; a bibliography arranged by topic; courthouse addresses and holdings; and a list of Oregon State Archives documents.
We know that it is frustrating for researchers to learn about a source but not know where to obtain it. Therefore, the plan also included a citation for each source listed. The format seemed good; we would tell readers what was available for each county and where they could find it. We realized something was missing, however.
In addition to county sources, a number of sources are statewide—such as church records, land records, military records and vital records. A new chapter included these. In addition to the types of statewide records available, it included a description of major genealogical repositories in the state of Oregon.
Then we went on to the information-gathering stage. This is the most time-consuming portion of the process. An on-site survey of the catalogs of the major Oregon genealogical libraries and the Family History Library supplied a list of Oregon references.
Letters directed to the presidents of all Oregon genealogical societies resulted in a list of their local publications. The merged bibliography was then divided into county sections.
Letters sent to courthouses requested information about their holdings. A principle rule of correspondence is to ask short, simple questions. We wanted to know what indexes and records were available and what years they covered. Therefore, those were the questions in the survey.
Letters were directed to "Deed Records," "Divorce Records," "Marriage Records," "Probate Records," "School Records," "Tax Records," and "Voter Records." The return rate on these surveys was excellent: around 80 percent. Several of the non-responding courts were nearby, so an on-site survey filled in the needed information. The information obtained from Wasco County for naturalization records provides an example of the scope of records:
Office of Circuit Court Wasco County Courthouse 5th & Washington The Dalles, OR 97058
- Declaration of Intent, begins 1855
- Declarations, 1859-1989, in Miscellaneous Papers
- Naturalization of Minors, 1894-1903
- Naturalization of Adults, 1894-1903
- Miscellaneous Record, Citizenship Outside Wasco County, begins 1875
Survey letters sent to historical societies and public libraries requested information on the following collections: diaries, manuscripts, and newspapers. The return rate from this mailing was poor, perhaps 30 per cent. The information that did come back was excellent, however, and unknown genealogical collections were uncovered.
Finally, historical maps were obtained from the Oregon State Archives for reproduction in the book. The Oregon Department of Transportation furnished county maps showing roads, towns, and range and section lines.
The bibliography was separated into logical categories: biographies and diaries; cemetery records; census records; church records; city and county directories; city and county histories; court records; gazetteers, atlases; maps; land records; mortuary records; naturalization; newspapers; probate records; school records; taxes; vital records; and voters' records. A code was assigned to repositories. This was added to the bibliographic citation. Exhibit A, below, uses examples from the Lane County section to show arrangement.
Evaluation was a continual process. The committee met once a month to review the progress of the book. As I drafted each county section, a person familiar with records for that county reviewed it. A byproduct of this expert review was that we later received few critical letters from readers.

Last month, I spent a week in Omaha helping a much adored cookbook author make dozens of pies. In between all the baking, sweeping, and intermittent couch lounging, we took advantage of Omaha's fine vegan food offerings. I posted about them previously, here, here, and here. My favorite place we dined at was The Daily Grub. I had a veggie sandwich that was absolutely unique and delicious:
Veggie Sandwich = Roasted red peppers, sweet potato, avocado, and pepita spread tucked between a toasted baguette
I vowed to recreate this tummy pleasing lunch once I returned to Portland. And then, I forgot about it for nearly a month. It was bulk pumpkin seeds at my local co-op that sparked a memory of this sandwich. Yesterday I took shelter from the (never-ending) rain and made my own version:
And I fought off laziness and wrote down a recipe to share!! Here we go:
Roasted Veggie and Pepita Spread Sammie
(inspired by The Daily Grub's Veggie Sandwich)
1 large red bell pepper (yellow or orange would work too, but NOT green!)
1 large sweet potato (orange fleshed would be the prettiest, but I had boring white ones), peeled
1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 small clove garlic
Juice from 1 medium-sized lemon (about 3 1/2 Tablespoons)
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
4-6 Tablespoons water, to thin
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 large avocado, sliced
1 long, good quality baguette (I found a nice, seven grain baguette at Trader Joe's)
1. Preheat your oven broiler and line a small baking sheet with parchment or foil. Set aside.
2. Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and core. Place cut side down on the foil and place in the oven. Broil until the outside of the pepper is charred and black, approximately 10-15 minutes (WATCH CLOSELY, TIME DEPENDS ON YOUR OVEN). Remove from oven and cover with a bowl until cool enough to handle.
3. Lower oven temperature to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment or a Silpat.
4. Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half into planks about 1/4″ thick (or just a tad thicker). Place sweet potatoes on prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until spotted and tender. Make sure to flip them over halfway through roasting. Remove from oven and set aside. While the sweet potato is roasting, peel the charred skin from the roasted pepper and slice pepper into long, thin strips.
5. To make the pepita spread: Place pumpkin seeds, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor and process until well combined, stopping and scraping the sides of the machine as needed.
6. Drizzle in the olive oil, 1 Tablespoon at a time until the mixture is relatively smooth.
7. Add in the nutritional yeast and continue to process. At this point the mixture should be thick and pasty. Add in enough water to thin it to your desired consistency. You want it to resemble pesto. Add salt and pepper to taste and process breifly to combine everything.
8. To assemble: Cut the baguette widthwise into desired number of sandwiches (mine yielded 4). Cut each portion in half lengthwise and toast lightly. Spread each piece of bread generously with pepita spread. Top with sweet potato planks, roasted red pepper strips, and avocado slices. I added lettuce to my sandwich. Spinach or arugula would be tasty too. You could also add a drizzle of hot sauce if that floats your boat. Enjoy!

Motorola is hoping to get its DreamGallery TV technology in front of more eyeballs. The company just announced plans to expand the reach of the platform.
If you aren't familiar with the DreamGallery experience, it's the user navigation component of Motorola's Medios+ platform for multi-screen video distribution. It's also designed to make TV more like surfing the web. It boasts easy, personalized searches, as well as customized media and smart recommendations—on more devices.
The tech used to need HTML5 to make the magic happen. However, Motorola just announced plans to put DreamGallery in an expanded range of devices, via new virtualized cloud-rendering technology. The upgrade has a virtual module that renders HTML5 in the cloud, so it's not needed at the box.
"DreamGallery is extending its award-winning multi-screen navigation and entertainment experience to millions of Motorola set-tops in subscriber homes today," said John Burke, senior VP and GM of Motorola Mobility's converged solutions. "Consumers want to find content faster and enjoy it on any device. Our service provider customers are eager to address this demand with rich DreamGallery experiences, but are constrained by the cost and complexity of upgrading their set-top boxes. Now, this cloud-based virtual module lets them deliver this next-generation experience to more subscribers."
DreamGallery has been widely deployed in Europe, but the movement is growing in North America. Verizon recently announced plans to add the DreamGallery experience to FiOS Home in the United States.

This haul of Heroin was seized at Customs Clearance when the Police Drug Unit carried out a raid.
This haul of drugs is believed to be the largest haul confiscated in South Asia.
The drugs were seized while being hidden in a container that was carrying Grease Tins.
Speaking to our news team, the director of the revenue monitoring unit of the customs, Mali Piyasena stated that the value of the drugs seized in excess of 2.5 billion rupees.
The Pakistani national who sent the container to Sri Lanka and 3 other Sri Lankans have currently been arrested.
Eight-year-old boy 'weds' woman aged 61 to become one of world's youngest grooms
Babyfaced Sanele Masilela has tied the knot with a woman 53 YEARS his elder.
And the eight-year-old lad wed Helen Shabangum knowing that she was already MARRIED and that she has FIVE KIDS.
Sanele, who is one of the world's youngest ever grooms, said he had been told by his dead ancestors to get hitched.
And his family took the message very seriously - forking out £500 for the bride and a further £1,000 for the big day, which was organized in just two months.
Dressed in a bow tie and tiny silver suit, little Sanele, the youngest of five children, exchanged rings in front of 100 guests and even puckered up for a kiss.
It's already shocked the community in Tshwane, South Africa but the family has defended the ceremony, saying it was just a ritual and not legally binding.
Sanele's 46-year-old mum, Patience Masilela said: "This is the first time this has happened in the family.
"Sanele is named after his grandfather, who was never had a white wedding before he died so asked Sanele to get married. He chose Helen because he loves her.
"By doing this we made the ancestors happy. If we hadn't done what my son had asked then something bad would have happened in the family.
"I didn't have a problem with it because I know it's what the ancestors wanted and it would make them happy."
The widow, who works at a recycling centre, added: "I would say that this is not wrong.
"Sanele was fine and he was happy about the ceremony and it was what he wanted. He was happy to get married and very excited."
Sanele and his bride did not sign a marriage certificate and do not have to live together.
Both have gone back to their normal lives.
Sanele today said he hoped he would have a proper wedding to a woman his own age when he was older.
He added: "I told my mother that I wanted to get married because I really did want to.
"I'm happy that I married Helen - but I will go to school and study hard.
"When I'm older I will marry a lady my own age."
Despite being old enough to be his grandmother, bride Helen, whose children are aged between 37 and 27, was happy with the arrangement.
Helen, who also works at a recycling centre, said: "I'm married and have five kids of my own, but I know that this is what the ancestors wanted - and now they are happy. It is a ritual. We are just playing now, but it is a sign that he will get married one day."
Her husband of 30 years, Alfred, 65, said: "My kids and I are happy.
The builder added: "We don't have problems with it but some of the community members were shocked."Source -mirror.co.uk
Who is accountable to the critical health condition of H. A. D. Hemamala who is receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit of the Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Kalubowila after an unsuccessful Laparotomy (surgical incision into the abdominal cavity)
Consultant VOG Prof. Harsha Seneviratne performed a Laparotomy on Hemamala to remove a cystic mass in the pelvis on April 5 at Durdans Hospital in Colombo. Later she had to undergo yet another operation – Exploratorary Laparotomy within five days, as she had shown several complications after the first operation.
Her condition started to deteriorate after the second operation and in the absence of Prof. Seneviratne who had left the country after the Exploratorary Laparotomy procedure, the doctors who attended on her transferred the patient to the Colombo South Teaching Hospital in Kalubowila 8 days later. According to her family, she was transferred without any request either from the patient or from the guardian. Upon her admission to Kalubowila, Hemamala once again underwent a Colostomy procedure (surgical creation of an opening between the colon and the surface of the body). Since then she has been at the Intensive Care Unit at the Kalubowila Hospital for the last four months and 22 days, in a critical condition.
However, neither Durdans Hospital nor the Consultant VOG Prof. Harsha Seneviratne is ready to take the responsibility for Hemamala's health condition. Refuting allegations levelled against him, Prof. Seneviratne said that no doctor would harm patients intentionally and claimed that he took all the necessary safety measures at the operation. However he said that if the family is having any issues over the operation they should come to a proper forum to discuss the matter.
"I have met the patient's husband on two occasions and thought I had a cordial relationship with him on the matter. When the husband was abroad I even spoke to him over the phone. As far as I know I attended on this patient very carefully – the way I attend on all my patients," said Prof. Seneviratne.
The Manager, Medical Services at Durdans Hospital Dr Ruwan Senathilleke said that there was neither deficiency in their medical care nor has any medical negligence on the part of Durdans Hospital.
"As requested by you we write to confirm that patient Mrs. H. A. D. Hemamala was admitted to Durdans Hospital on April 05 on the instructions of Prof. Harsha Seneviratne, Consultant VOG who had been previously consulted by the said patient at a different hospital. The consultant had performed a Laparotomy for a cystic mass in the pelvis and thereafter an Exploratorary Laparotomy had been performed by Professor Seneviratne along with another senior consultant surgeon on April 10th. Thereafter she had been seen by the above surgeon and another consultant obstetrician and on the instructions of above consultants the patient had been transferred to Colombo South Teaching Hospital on April 18 for further investigations and treatment," said Dr Senathilleke
He further said, "We must stress that this was a surgical procedure performed by the consultants and during the stay of the said patient at Durdans Hospital. The best possible medical care was given to her and there was absolutely no deficiency in our medical care nor had any medical negligence on the part of our hospital. We have complied with whatever instructions given by the consultants and reiterate that the best medical care was afforded to the said patient during her stay, like in all other cases".
Further Dr Senathilleke said that Durdans Hospital is not obliged to give answers to the questions this reporter had forwarded for clarification.
Althogh Senathilleke claimed that the patient was continuously seen by her consultant and she was transferred to Kalubowila on his instructions, Prof. Seneviratne confirmed that he left the country after the second operation and he knew nothing about the transfer.
"Yes I left the country for an official matter and did not know anything about sending her to Kalubowila as I did not give any such instructions," said Prof. Seneviratne. Hemamala had complained of a severe stomach ache three days after the first operation. "My sister who was with my wife had seen a green colour discharge from the incision and had informed Prof. Seneviratne. Although he had first said that it was due to an infection, the hospital and the doctors panicked when my wife got intermittent fever, persistent diarrhea and vomiting. Hence she was taken for an emergency Exploratory Laparotomy. This has done to correct the damages caused to the small intestines during the first operation. However the second operation too was not successful as they could not correct the damaged intestines," alleged Upali Gunathilake, the patient's husband.
Gunathilake returned to Sri Lanka on June 9 giving up his floral designing job in UK to be with his ailing wife.
"I was in UK when my wife called and said that there was a cystic mass in the pelvis and had to undergo an operation to remove it. Although she first went to De Soyza Maternity Home, later she decided
to go to Durdans and consulted Prof. Seneviratne. Refusing to go through her previous records, Prof. Seneviratne had asked my wife to get all the reports once again. Claiming that it is a simple operation and the patient would only have to be in hospital for three days, the VOG had said that the entire cost would be around Rs.2 lakhs including professional charges. She was also told that Consultant Obstetrician Prof. Sherifdeen too would be called to assisted at the operation," said Gunathilake.Prof. Seneviratne however refutes Gunathilake's claim that he promised to get Prof. Sherifdeen's assistance at the first operation. "Whatever operation I do, I take the necessary precautions. In this instance I never told the party that Prof. Sherifdeen's assistance would be taken. Their claim that I had damaged the patient's small intestines is an accusation as far as I know. Since this incident happened a few months ago, I am furnishing you the details recalling the incident. The actual details are given in the patients diagnosis card which is very confidential. I had to leave the country for an official matter leaving the patient in good hands. I told the patient and her family that I will be going out of the country. She was in good health when I left but I did not know that she had been transferred to Kalubowila as it was not a decision taken by me," said Prof. Seneviratne. However according to Gunathilake, the simple procedure finally turned serious and had to pay Rs.8.47 lakhs (according to final bill No: PF1120000344 of April 18) for 'medical negligence' "If Prof. Seneviratne wanted to get Prof. Sherifdeen's assistance why couldn't he obtain it as we didn't have any objection for that decision? The reason given was that there was no necessity to call Prof. Sherifdeen. However his assistance was sought at the second operation. What we understood was, had Prof. Sherifdeen been present at the Laparotomy procedure, my wife wouldn't have had to face such an unfortunate situation. He would have been so careful to prevent damages to my wife's small intestines. If the VOG was really concerned of his patients, he would not have travelled abroad soon after the second operation when my wife was in a critical condition leaving her with Dr R. Colonne and Prof. Sherifdeen," said Gunathilake. Gunathilake further blamed Prof. Seneviratne for 'washing his hands off' by getting one of his students – Dr Aloka Pathirana to take care of the patient by transferring her to the Kalubowila Hospital.
"This is an eye opener to anyone that wishes to admit patients to Durdans for any treatment. The moment they find out that the patient's condition is getting worse they will transfer he/ she to a government hospital without the consent of the family. How can they claim that they transferred my wife because of the consultants' decision? Why couldn't they ask us whether to transfer the patient or not as it was we who are paying the hospital bill not the consultants? For any other issue they will inform the guardian but knowing that the hospital's 'reputation' would be in trouble had the patient died under their roof, she was transferred without our permission," claimed Gunathilake.
However Gunathilaka is happy as his wife is now in the safe hands of a dedicated team of doctors and nurses led by Dr Aloka Pathirana.
"Even I should thank Prof. Sherifdeen too for his kind gesture. He has visited Kalubowila to see my wife more than six times. Although he was not responsible for my wife's condition he still had the courtesy to visit my wife to inquire about her condition. We really need doctors of such calibre. Although the team of Kalubowila doctors were able to save my wife's life, she is still in a critical condition," said Gunathilake.
He further accused Durdans of keeping his 13-year-old daughter as hostage till the final payment was settled.
"After discharging my wife on April 18 morning, Durdans Hospital delayed sending her to Kalubowila until the final payment was made. Reacting to the inhumane conduct of Durdans staff, my brother-in-law had shouted at them to send the patient to Kalubowila immediately or send her back to the ICU without keeping her in the lobby. Then only they had taken my daughter hostage for more than two hours till the final bill was settled," said Gunathilake.
Little Sanduni Rashmika described how she was taken to a room to be with 'an aunty'.
"When I came to the hospital that particular morning with my aunt, I saw my mother in a stretcher and my uncle shouting at the hospital staff. It was then only the hospital wanted my uncle to keep me with them until the payment was made and took me to a room where an aunty was working," said Rashmika.
However Dr Senathilleke vehemently denies the claim and said that it was the patient's family that wanted to keep two family members until the payment was settled. "The normal procedure for payment is that all bills are settled prior to the discharge of the patient. However in this instance the patient's party on their own accord kept two members of their family in the hospital until the payment was settled. We vehemently deny that we had requested a 13-year-old daughter of the patient to be kept as surety until the final bill was settled," said Dr Senathilleke.
Meanwhile a reliable source from the ICU Kalubowila Hospital on the condition of anonymity confirmed that Hemamala's present condition was solely due to medical negligence during the Laparotomy procedure. "When Hemamala was brought here, she was in a critical condition. Due to the small intestine leakage, whatever nutrition given to her through the Naso-gastric tube were coming out. As a result we had to open the cut once again and clean the intestine leakages. This will be kept open till the intestine heals. A colostomy bag (a receptacle worn over the opening to receive the faecal discharge from a Colostomy) is now fixed and it is changed every day. The patient's husband is very helpful and brings whatever medicine we ask him to bring. The hospital too is now running short of these colostomy bags and changing the bag every day would be an issue in future," said the source. According to the sources, although the patient's condition has now improved slightly, it is till unpredictable as her blood could clot easily since she has been in one posture for over five month. "There is chance that her blood could clot and she could get either a sudden heart attack or a stroke. Considering this situation we gave her anti coagulants. Since then she is bleeding from the damaged intestines and we have decided to change the drug to save her life," added the source

Probe into amputation of law student
The health ministry is investigating the amputation of the left hand of a law student. Minister Maithripala Sirisena has ordered his secretary Dr. Nihal Jayatilake to appoint a committee to investigate the matter.
This committee is headed by deputy director general of health Dr. Ananda Gunasekara.
Final year law student Achala Priyadarshani was admitted to Matara Hospital on January 17 following a broken left hand.
The broken hand had not been plastered properly and as a result, the nerves had got damaged beyond repair.
Three surgeries had been performed on her to remove her left hand.
Appointing Sana would be an issue – Arjuna
He doesn't consider Mr. Sanath Jayasooriya's appointment as the head of the cricket selection committee as an error but getting appointed to such a post in a very short time would cause problems later says Arjuna Ranatunga.
He said getting appointed to the post is an issue as Mr. Sanath Jayasooriya has not announced his retirement yet.
Arjuna Ranatunga expressed these views regarding the appointment of the new head of cricket selection committee. He said experienced and accomplished cricket players are reluctant to join the select committee due to political interference in the cricket sector.
Parliamentarian Santh Jayasooriya was appointed yesterday (25th) as the head of the cricket selection committee with the approval of the Minister. The term of the selection committee presided by Mr. Ashanthe de Mel ended on 31st December.
Meanwhile, renowned cricket commentator Haritha Perera has said Sanath Jayasooriya would be able to carry out his duties efficiently only if he doesn't consider his appointment as a political appointment.
"President visited my house with Shiranthi to extend their wedding invitation
My professional charges are very high. Hence I am not given the opportunity to sing in musical concerts and not given programmes in the television channels:"
Although the versatile singer Anjaleen Gunatillake had been singing for almost 40 years, she is yet to perform a solo musical concert in this country. However her first solo musical concert is planned to be held in the month of February this year. The reason she had given the music directors do not offer her assignments as her charges are very high.
She had disclosed that she does not believe in going to 'boutique' on behalf of politicians. She had said that she does not possess those low qualities. She had confessed that the President and Shiranthi as close associates had come to her place to extend to her their wedding invitation. She also disclosed that many young singers sing her songs and earn a lot of money. The authorities of television channels do not invite her as a judge in reality shows as her charges are very high. She had complained in that manner.
In this regard she had given an interview to the newspaper 'ADA'. Some excerpts from this interview are appended below:
After been in the singing field for so long why did it take so long for you to have a solo musical concert?
"As a principle as a singer I do not sing for meagre payments. Hence the organisers of these musical concerts hesitate to invite me. However on behalf of Sri Lankans living in Australia two solo concerts of mine was organised by Fahim Mawjood. He is organising my first solo concert on my behalf at the 'Nelum Pokuna' ,Mahinda Rajapaksa performing arts theatre in February this year."
Today veteran singers prefer to sing in indoor than in outdoor concerts?
"These are stories that are told by people having two tongues. This is a real laughing matter for our people. They will very willingly participate when invited to outdoor television programmes. I too will participate if I am paid my fee."
New stars are born. But they sing songs of veteran singers?
"When they sing songs of veteran singers they do not attempt to bring in new compositions and new songs nor emerge. The excel singing our songs and earn a lot of money and had bought houses and cars. But they never extend respect to us".
There are conflicts about the lyric writers?
"I of course never participate in these meetings and discussions. Today most lyric writers and musicians are real rogues. Although they earn a lot, I have not been given a red cent. They have no business to talk about songs. Certain television channels also sell us and earn. They act like innocents. They never invite to judge boards in reality shows as my charges are high."
Some artistes have become stooges of politicians?
"Really speaking it is me who should go to 'Temple trees" first. This is because the president and Shiranthi came to my house to extend their wedding invitation to me for their wedding. We have had close links. But still we remain at alms length as artistes, but never go boutique to them. However those who go to 'boutique' for them get high posts and other benefits. We never bend down to politicians and become their stooges."

'Cobra girl' wants Govt. to have Sharia law on her Arab boyfriend
Nirosha Wimalaratne, better-known as the 'cobra girl' told Ceylon Today that she does not want to live any longer as all her dreams of a happy life have been ruined. "I want the government to apply the Sharia law on my Arab boyfriend and punish him, the way they beheaded our sister Rizana Nafeek," she demanded.
The story in vogue during the last few days was about the harrowing experience of the much talked-about 'cobra girl' or the night club dancer named Nirosha, tearfully explained how she had been assaulted and injured by her alleged Arab boyfriend and leaving her unconscious in a roadside ditch, bleeding from several cut injuries. She had later been admitted to hospital by a Good Samaritan.
When we met her at the National Hospital, Colombo to speak to her, she was lying in bed. When asked her "Nirosha what actually happened to you?" the sobbing girl said, "I really do not know what happened to me. All my dreams of a happy life were ruined. Now I do not want to live any longer."
It would seem rather ironic that she also fell in love with a human male of the species, an Arab youth around the same time she regained her slithery pet. When she fell in love with Abdullah al Amari (38) she moved in with him to a Meethotamulla house as his live-in companion. She said, she did so, after obtaining a solemn promise of marriage from him.
Her Saudi boyfriend Abdullah al Amari, a businessman in Pettah area was a libertine, and a die-hard follower of Bacchus, God of Spirits. During daytime, she was a virtual prisoner in his home. Nights were sickening and pure hell, she said. Then they began to squabble. Fighting got worse with the arrival of one Maruban, a relation of Al Amari into the house and both of them allegedly went on alcoholic binges. According to her, she was watching TV while munching on some food at around 1:00 a.m., on 23 Wednesday, when suddenly her lover hit her hard on her right ear without any provocation. Next, both of them started to hit her while one was holding her down. While still hitting, her lover using a sharp object cut her neck. Then he tried to kill her by squeezing her neck. Thereafter, he dragged her outside the house and pushed her towards a roadside ditch. Thereupon she lost consciousness.
"When I regained consciousness, I started shouting saying that I was the cobra girl and to save me from the two savages who were trying to kill me, and my two pet cobras, I don't mind even if I am killed, but my two cobras are more precious to me than my life. I then saw a lady at a nearby house and asked her to save me. Then a crowd gathered and they called the Wellampitiya Police, who came on the scene immediately and took me to the Colombo National Hospital. I am fed up with life now. This is what happened to me when I was looking for a happier life," she said ruefully.
The man who assaulted the 'cobra girl' and caused her injuries has gone scot-free though police are said to be on the look out.
Nirosha Wimalaratne came into the limelight after 28 August last year, when she was taken into police custody at a popular night club in Colpetty with the cobra and was known since then, as the 'cobra girl.' Colpetty Police charged her for animal cruelty and the Fort Magistrate ordered the police to place the cobra under the care of National Zoological Gardens. Nirosha fought back filing legal action and was successful in the end. She then returned to the night club with her cobra companion, on 11 December.
Dehiwela zoo sea lion 'Carl' dies
The sea lion known as 'Carl' which enamored hundreds and thousands of both local and foreign visitors to the Dehiwela Zoo for the past three years, is alleged to have died under mysterious circumstances on Friday (Jan 25) evening, sources from the Dehiwela Zoo told LAKBIMANEWS online.
This sea lion which was brought to the country back in 2009 through the German - Sri Lanka animal exchange programme from the Krefelied zoo in Germany was born on June 7, 2007 at that particular zoo.
It is said by the time of its death, 'Carl' had been 5 and a half years old and sources said that with the demise of 'Carl' they have only a male and a female sea lion left at the Dehiwela zoo.
They further said inquiries will be conducted to ascertain the cause of death of the sea lion 'Carl' before long.
Question papers to be printed in digital system.

Accordingly, the Staff Officer, who is in charge of the relevant subject, will feed the computer with the question paper, while the question paper will be sent to the printing machine by the computer,automatically.
He has further said that, the question paper will be printed and come out of the machine as a well protected packet. Therefore, the confidentiality of the question paper will be secured, since only one person is involved in the process, which was earlier conducted by 50 persons.
Apple's iPhone disappointment fans doubt on growth
Apple Inc missed Wall Street's revenue forecast for the third straight quarter after iPhone sales came in below expectations, fanning fears that its dominance of consumer electronics is slipping.
Shares of the world's largest tech company fell 10 percent to $463 in after-hours trade, wiping out some $50 billion of its market value - nearly equivalent to that of Hewlett-Packard and Dell combined.
On Wednesday, Apple said it shipped a record 47.8 million iPhones in the December quarter, up 29 percent from a year earlier. But that lagged the 50 million that analysts on average had projected.
Expectations heading into the results had been subdued by news of possible production cutbacks by some component suppliers in Asia, triggering fears that demand for the iPhone, which accounts for half of Apple's revenue, and the iPad could be slowing.
But some investors clung to hopes for a repeat of years of historical outperformance, analysts said.
"It's going to call into question Apple's dominance in the space. It's still one of the strong players, the others being Samsung and Google. It's still a two-horse race, but Android continues to grow rapidly," said Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu.
"If you step back a bit, it's clear they shipped a lot of phones. But the problem is the high expectations that investors have. Apple's conservative guidance highlights the concerns over production cuts coming out of Asia recently."
Apple is forecasting revenue of $41 billion to $43 billion in the current, second fiscal quarter, lagging the average Wall Street forecast of more than $45 billion.
Fiscal first-quarter revenue rose 18 percent to $54.5 billion, below the average analyst estimate of $54.73 billion, though earnings per share of $13.81 beat the Street forecast of $13.47, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Apple also undershot revenue targets in the previous two quarters, and these results will prompt more questions on what Apple has in its product pipeline, and what it can do to attract new sales and maintain its growth trajectory, analysts said.
Net income of $13.07 billion was virtually flat with $13.06 billion a year earlier on higher manufacturing costs. The year-ago quarter also had an extra week compared to this year.
Gross margins consequently slid to 38.6 percent, from 44.7 percent previously.
"You can't just keep rolling out iPhones and iPads and think that everybody needs a new one," said Jeffrey Gundlach, who runs DoubleLine Capital LP, the $53 billion bond firm. "The mini? What is that all about? It is a slightly smaller iPad — so what? So that is our new definition of innovation?"
"There are plenty of competitors like Samsung and other legitimate competitors like them," added Gundlach, one of the highest-profile Apple bears. He maintains a $425 price target.
Taking into account the drop in shares in Wednesday's after-hours trading, Apple's stock is now down 34 percent from its September record high and the company has lost about $227 billion in market value.
Shares of several of Apple's suppliers crumbled. Chip suppliers Skyworks and Cirrus Logic both fell more than 6 percent. Qualcomm Inc slipped 1.8 percent.
Intense competition from Samsung's cheaper phones - powered by Google's Android software - and signs that the premium smartphone market may be close to saturation in developed markets have also caused a lot of investor anxiety.
Meanwhile, sales of the iPad came in at 22.9 million in the fiscal first quarter, roughly in line with forecasts.
On the brighter side, Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer told Reuters that iPhone sales more than doubled in greater China - a region that Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook has vowed to focus on as its next big growth driver.
The company will begin detailing results from that country going forward. Revenue from the region totaled $7.3 billion, up 60 percent from the year-ago December quarter.
"These results were OK, but they definitely raised a few questions," said Shannon Cross, analyst with Cross Research. "Gross margin trajectory looks fine so that's a positive and cash continues to grow. But I think investors are going to want to know what Apple plans to do with growing cash balance."
"And other questions are going to be around innovation and where the next products are coming from and what does Tim Cook see in the next 12 to 18 months."
In an unusual move for Apple, which typically does not respond to speculation, Cook addressed the production cutback rumors at length on the conference call and questioned the accuracy of rumors about its plans.
Media reports earlier this month said the company is slashing orders for iPhone 5 and iPad screens and other components from its Asian suppliers.
"Even if a particular data point were factual, it would be impossible to accurately interpret the data point as to what it meant for our overall business, because the supply chain is very complex," he said, adding that Apple has multiple sources for components.
"Yields might vary. Supplier performance can vary. The beginning inventory positions can vary. There's just an inordinately long list of things that would make any single data point not a great proxy for what's going on," he said.
Apple's initial iPhone and iPad mini sales were hurt by supply constraints, but Cook expects supply to balance demand for the iPad mini this quarter. He also acknowledged that iPad was cannibalizing its high-margin Macintosh computers, but said it was a huge opportunity for the company.
"On iPad in particular, we have the mother of all opportunities here, because the Windows market is much, much larger than the Mac market is," he said. "And I think it is clear that it's already cannibalizing some."
In another departure from tradition, Apple intends to tweak the way it both reports results and publishes forecasts.
Apart from breaking out results from China, the company also will no longer provide a single revenue or gross margin outlook. From Wednesday, it began providing the range it expects to hit, rather than the often-ludicrously conservative estimates that Apple was once notorious for.
The new policy took many by surprise.
"Before people could always ignore the guidance," said Dan Niles, Chief Investment Officer of AlphaOne Capital Partners, LLC. "Apple is telling investors that they need to pay attention to the guidance and you can't ignore it, which is basically what we all did in the past."

I don't get it. Why were Langois and Hay so great? Love them, but if Megean and Craig were as good as it sounds from the pbp, I would have put them ahead. Sorry, but Dube and Davidson don't deserve to beat them with a fall. I think the judges/ tech callers messed up this one.
Another surprise really... good for Annabelle and Cody though!
Since some of that middle group only had scores from earlier in the season it is conceivable that they really have made improvements.
I am looking forward to the LP, very exciting competition!

Good evening folks;
I am going to buy one of the above cameras in the next couple of days; I am planing to use it for general photography but also to make some videos.
I am much inclined for the canon 600d; however I have a problem; it doesn't seem that I could fine a satisfactory alternative for the lens nikkor 35mm 1.8. I would like to have the range of approx 50mm for portraits and video (if we bare in mind the crop factor of these two cameras, then something between 28 and 35mm would be ideal).
The reason why I want a prime is for both price and image quality.
Anyone could give me a hand with this? the canon 50mm 1.8 II would be perfect if I was considering a full frame, but in the crop one is just not wide enough....Sigma 30mm 1.4 and canon EF 35mm 2.0: They are more pricey than the nikkor 35mm and, for what I've read around, it seems that they are not as good.
Any other alternatives? would you go for one camera as oppose to the other for one lens?
Thank you for your assistance guys.

Personally I feel a lot better about patronizing a family-owned business than some anonymous conglomerate. One example: You can call ADB if you have a problem (which I've never had) and speak to one of the owners on the phone and have it corrected right then and there. You're not likely to get that kind of personal service from some big company. Since the Steves and Leanna own the company and depend on it, they have a vested interest in keeping their customers happy.
agree with the part about ADB's fantastic products though.
[Mod: Since DG deleted his post, I am editing this one to get rid of the quotes. This is IN NO WAY a reflection on Wolverin61! This is ONLY a thread cleanup.]

I have to agree with all of Wolverines points... especially the last one.
I've called ADB many times and spoken with Steve, Leanna, and Steve Petrick. Tjey're always cordial and go out of their way to help out.
The last call was from CoastCon in Biloxi. We had a three-way disagreement about a rules question. I called ADB, Petrick answered the phoe, and in 2 minutes - we had the official answer.
Try that with WotC of GW.

I apparently didn't anticipate the vivid loyalty many of you have for small-scale mom and pop franchises.
Being in business school, I am simply more comfortable with the corporate model. Aloof, impersonal, and suit & tie professional.

Doesn't business school teach anything about looking at businesses which are successful?
ADB has remained in business for three decades, which suggests they are doing something right. Excellent customer service and listening definitely being among the aspects which are "right". They have also successfully sustained a dominant position in a niche market within a niche market (star trek games within the games market) for a very long time and weathered several major changes in the hobby, which also suggests that they have a realistic and viable business model and know their market well.
Corporates are not the only business model! And I don't know how things are looking for you guys in the States these days, but over here we have a heap of mess to clear up thanks to the corporates acting without the kind of integrity that small businesses such as ADB live by. Big does not necessarily mean better.

Loyalty to a "Mom and Pop" style company has nothing to do with this. ADB has produced a darn fine game...make that, several darn fine games. I could care less whether ADB is run by 3 or 4 people, 25 people, or has hundreds of employees. It is the product and the service after the sale that are important.
And, to be honest, I think from time to time I have reacted/purchased with a little emotion
ADB is a small company rather than a big company.

One aspect you may be ignoring DG is the designer's authonomy in this case.
I consider game design a form of art. And the SFU has definetly grown to include a very rich fiction background and history which is very appealing in its own right (have read posts from veterans who bought SFB material over the years just for the reading, not the gaming).
The big problem I have with corporations when it comes to any form of art (books, music, movies, games) is the type of creative restrcitions they usually impose on the creators and the excessive control over the final product. Look of what happened to Star Trek itself. At the end it turned into a type of soap opera. A noble exception would be the fourth and final season of ENTERPRISE exactly because , due to the cancelation of the show, the creators were given almost full freedom. Just google it and you will find this story.
In my opinion, the products from the ADB are so amazing BECAUSE it is a small private company, not inspite of it.

Off-topic, but speaking of ADB's great creative design.
Any hopes of ADB giving out rights to Star Trek Comic book publishers such a IDW to use Star Fleet universe races and stories?
I just read a very well-done graphic novel called Alien Spotlight set in the TOS-theme about Gorns and Orions (recent novel 2008). (2 races that are prominent in SFU and not so in the regular Paramount Star Trek universe)
IDW is planning to write several more TOS themed comics over the next several years. E.g. - Alien Spotlight II which is supposed to include more Gorn, Romulans, Klingons. Now they just need to get some Kzinti and Hyrans in there.
Considering the vast amount of fiction already in the captain's logs it would just be a win-win for IDW since they could base their stories off them already.
I'm guessing that Star Fleet Command a few years ago was a boost to ADB and the Star Fleet Universe.
Paramount's Star Trek universe too often overshadow's Star Fleet's despite ours being much more exciting. We need to promote the SFU.

Dorian: You are so wrong on so many counts that I cannot even begin to count them. For one thing, Leanna and I are only 2/3 of the owners of the company, and about 1/3 of the workforce. Nobody cares that the company includes a husband-wife couple. The whole game industry knows Leanna and would have far less respect for me if she wasn't part of the company.
Your thoughts are the kind that should have been a private email. They come across as pontificating, and showing off, and acting like you know more than I do. May or may not have been your thought process, but it puts you in an exremely negative light, and makes you someone that the company ownership and managament do not want to hear from.

OK, I cleaned up Wolverin61's post to get rid of the quoted text. Unfortunately, I have been very busy this last week (and will be again this week), so I can't read the forum as often as I want. (Having to use a 240x320 screen to cruise the net is a big disincentive.
) Fortunately, everyone kept things in control.
DorianGray: If you want to make comments about actual people, please make sure of the details before doing so. Thank you for backing off quickly and doing your best to clean it up. Please don't do that again.
Mike and 'dood: Thank you for causing your tongues to bleed instead of my eyes. I really appreciate that.
Wolverin61: That was a very good post, and incredibly well measured. I am sorry for having to hack it.

No problem. I appreciate all the work you put in on here, especially setting us all straight on our rules confusion.
I just hope Mike and 'dood have recovered from their tongue trauma

A small town in the center of Washington state. Mostly known for the large population of Hispanics(due to lots of orchards) and elderly people. Most people known to grow up in this town are guilty of having "small town syndrome". You might also notice the men in this town constantly have to say/do something to prove their masculinity due to the fact that they feel it's always being threatened. Most likely because of their small.......Town.

It's certainly puzzling, if not downright peculiar. That's the feeling one gets after studying the notice of inquiry (NOI) that FERC launched late last year, after nearly 10 years of dragging its...
Presumed Power
Growing gas storage depends on fair regulatory treatment.
lawful market-based rates.
FERC's important NGA §4(f) public interest determination requires consideration of: whether additional capacity is needed in the geographic area; the risk faced by project sponsors; and a showing that the facilities wouldn't be built but for market-based rate treatment. 11 Applicants can demonstrate need in the geographical area by showing general lack of storage, full use of existing storage capacity, other pipeline constraints into the market, projected increased gas demand, customer interest, high gas prices or volatility, or other information. While receptive to other showings, FERC explained that presenting the results of an open season offering capacity at cost-based rates, which was unsuccessful in obtaining long-term commitments, best demonstrates that cost-based rates are insufficient and market-based rates are needed.
• Southern Star: Need to expand existing storage: Despite the Order No. 678 observation that it might be more difficult for an existing storage provider to meet the public interest standard, all four storage providers that have received NGA §4(f) final rule market-based rates sought to expand or enhance their existing storage facilities. No new, independent projects were authorized for either interstate or intrastate applicants. For example, FERC determined on May 20, 2010, that market-based storage rates for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline would be lawful rates in the public interest. 12 This storage provider's NGA certificate application to expand its facilities demonstrated need because its existing storage capacity, including previous expansions, had been fully subscribed since 1993. Need also was shown because, despite significant interest in new storage capacity, customers hadn't contracted for it long-term. The applicant held three binding open seasons, with the first offering up to 5 Bcf of storage capacity at cost-based reserve rates. Customers weren't willing to enter into long-term contracts needed to support cost-based rates. FERC thus found market-based rates necessary to encourage construction of the proposed storage capacity expansion.
• Columbia Gas: Under-recovery risk from cost-based rates: In 2009, FERC ensured that market-based rates were lawful and in the public interest for Columbia Gas Transmission, based on need and risk shown in its NGA certificate application for expanded storage facilities. 13 A 2004 FERC staff report 14 estimated a substantial need for incremental working gas capacity in the applicant's markets. The applicant's existing storage capacity was fully contracted. Customers showed significant interest in new storage capacity, but were unwilling to contract long-term under cost-based rates. A binding open season for up to 15 Bcf of storage capacity at incremental, cost-based recourse rates had elicited no acceptable, long-term bids. The applicant pointed to its risk in constructing and operating partially subscribed storage-capacity facilities under cost-based rates, due to inability to recover its cost-of-service, to earn a fair return, and to avoid cost overruns. Given the lack of response to its open season for 15 Bcf of working gas capacity, the applicant proposed to construct a total of only 6.7 Bcf of capacity. Moreover, it would construct the unsubscribed portion of that 6.7 Bcf only if allowed to charge market-based rates for that portion.

Haven't Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen come far? From child stars to kiddie merchandise zillionaires to proper respected fashion designers, you can't help but admire their bizniz savvy. And considering today is their 26th birthday (yep, we feel seriously old), what better excuse to celebrate their style evolution?
Our commemorative gallery begins back in 1993 when the twins first came into our lives as diddy telly stars who stole the Full House show. Weren't they CUTE with their matching fringes and stick-on 'mom' tattoos?
Cut to today and the formidable duo have gained style icon status thanks to their bonkers 'homeless' wardrobes, which consist of oversized sunnies, flowing maxi skirts, Balenciaga handbags, shaggy hair and Starbucks cups.
The pocket-sized pair are bona fide designers now too. They have not one but THREE fashion labels to their name, creating collections for The Row, Elizabeth & James and tween label Olsenboye. All the lines sprung from the girl's love of fashion and a desire to create pieces that they would actually wear – The Row, for instance, was founded because Ashley says, 'I was a shopper. I felt that basic luxury was missing'.
In fact, it was just last week that the Olsens were scooping up the Womenswear Designer of the Year accolade at the CFDA Awards, beating off the top-notch likes of Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler. See? The once-child-actors are now officially fashion industry stalwarts.
So in celebration of Olsen Day, let's take a trip through their finest fashion moments - there are some right shockers so ENJOY!
