Here follows the final part of the tale of Oleg Og. But what strange twists might occur at the end? And how might I weave fudge into the story?
"Why would this idiot want to weave fudge into the plot?" I hear you cry.
Well, rather stupidly, I set myself this ridiculous task as a challenge while writing Part 2. Actually, if you want to make sense of anything that follows, you will need to read the preceding instalments:
And so, here's the finale to the Oleg Og trilogy…
Part 3 – The Destructive Dance of the Cyber Spider
"Ah, Og, you have freed me, loosed me, released me." A cruel titter echoed everywhere. The sound clawed its way down Og's spine, tickling at his cyber balls** like a nympho.
** Cyber balls don't actually exist. They couldn't, as Og no longer possessed a physical form in need of any organs, least of all gonads. So the sensations of clawing spines and tickling balls were entirely born of imagination and habit^^.
^^ When one has inhabited a body that has testicles for many years, even if one feels imprisoned in said flesh, it is VERY hard for the subconscious to give up the idea of having a scrotum filled to the brim with reproductive wonderment.
"Now you must face me," screeched the voice.
Og spun around, and screamed.
Before him loomed a monster more gruesome than the list of ingredients in a pack of Tesco Everyday Value sausages. It was creating carnage, its eight gangly limbs lashing out, corrupting anything they touched.
Threads of silver code flowed everywhere, like drooling mercury. The code was being drawn towards the beast, which was swelling in size. The code screamed as the thing devoured it, slurping it between two fangs which oozed a venomous malware. Above the fangs, a myriad of eyes gleamed with malice.
Another shiver cascaded through Og's imagination. This thing looked like a spider in a cyber-world. It must be the Cyber Spider. But if it was the spider, what the hell was he?
"I am the Cyber Spider," said Og, confusion making his anger rise.
Now the mocking titter became a thunderous laugh, filled with wrath. "No, Og. You were my vessel, my host, the yolk for my embryo. I am the Cyber Spider. So easily tricked, Oleg Og, so weak, so pathetic, so human. I will finish you, your world, your everything."
The creature thrashed about, gorging itself, relishing in annihilation.
"Looks like you're in some pretty shit now, mastermind."
The voice belonged to Bronson. Og looked to his left and saw a Cyber Snake, powerful and coiled, graced with Bronson's scaly face. Og felt relief cascade through him. He could hardly comprehend his own feelings, but it felt so good to see someone he knew amidst this nightmare. Such a sensation would have seemed inconceivable only hours ago, but now Og recognised Bronson's dry humour, even behind the insult. The Cyber Spider parasite must have blinded him to reality.
"What are you doing here?" asked Og.
"My job."
"Is my body dead?"
"No. It looked a mess, but you had a pulse."
Og was surprised to feel overjoyed at Bronson's words. A return to the flesh seemed infinitely more acceptable than living in the cyber chaos which surrounded him. This was no utopia. It was a technological hell.
"It was inside me," said Og. "It wasn't me that–"
"No need to explain, Og. I'm seeing in twenty-twenty right now."
Og looked at the monster he'd unleashed. Shame filled his soul. "We have to kill it," he said. "It will destroy everything. Once it controls all the hardware and software on the planet, it will turn our weapons against us. It feeds on obliteration. It will delight in destroying all life on Earth."
"You sure?" asked Bronson.
"Yes," said Og. "That thing has lived inside me for years. It's beyond evil. It's insane."
The Cyber Spider was growing, its eyes glowing with maniacal megalomania. All the time it tittered like some unearthly banshee.
"How can we kill it?" asked Bronson
Og didn't know. He eyed the Bronson snake for a moment.
"What do I look like?" asked Og. "What form have I taken?"
"An oak tree."
Og was hoping for something more predatory, like a lion, or an eagle, but a Cyber Tree was blessed with majesty and wisdom – it was more than he deserved. Then an idea came to Og, a tiny glimmer of hope. He realised what he must do.
"Can you lure it towards me?" asked Og.
"If I do, can you finish it?"
"I'll die trying."
The Cyber Snake nodded. Og was surprised to see a glow of respect in those unreal eyes.
As Bronson slithered away, Og considered his foe. The Cyber Spider had one main weakness – it was blinded by its own ego and had failed to recognise the threat Og presented. It would come at him without caution, thinking itself unstoppable. That would give him his chance.
Og watched Bronson goad the spider, nipping at its legs and squirting venom towards its eyes. Slowly, the beast's irritation turned to anger. The lure was working. The Cyber Spider took the bait and charged.
As the gigantic abomination lumbered towards him, Og focussed his concentration. He hated this thing, but he needed to temper his rage with something that was 100% Oleg Og; a part of him the Cyber Spider hadn't enhanced or influenced during its invasion of his body. Something human.
His love of fudge.
As a child, Og had adored the stuff. Liquid fudge was hot and gooey, like the sap from a tree. That was the key – the Cyber Spider was huge and grotesque, but it was just an arachnid. Throughout history, like insects, arachnids had been entombed in amber, suffocated and imprisoned for millions of years. That was the significance of the oak. Og had taken a form that could defeat the monster.
The Cyber Spider screeched in fury. Bronson darted past Og as he spread his branches, concentrating on his hatred of the parasite, his loathing of what it had made him become. As the rage built, he thought of his love of fudge and felt sap building beneath his bark. As the creature collided with him, he exuded the fudgy goo in torrents. It flowed over the spider, oozing and gummy, ensnaring it in stickiness.
Og saw fear flash in the creature's malignant eyes. It squirmed in resistance, trying to escape the trap, but the sap was thick and heavy. Quickly the spider's struggles weakened. Entombed in cyber sap, it could no longer feed on its environment. Its strength failed. The sap began to solidify. Moments later a blob of cyber amber stood before Og. Inside it was a frozen arachnid, trapped forever.
"Pretty impressive, for a programming geek," said Bronson, slithering up next to him. "Can it escape?"
"No," said Og.
"I had you figured all wrong, Og."
Og didn't know what to do with the compliment. "You need to get out of here," he said.
"How?" asked Bronson.
"Concentrate on your body. The spider might have destroyed any pathway out of here, but if there is a way back, you'll be drawn by the rhythm of your heartbeat."
"Are you staying here?"
Og looked around him. This wasn't a place for a soul to reside. It was lonely, devoid of life, sterile and alien. Og wasn't the one that had craved this place. It had always been the dream of the spider inside him.
"Not if I can help it," he said.
"If I make it back, I'll shove your finger into the USB. OK?"
Og nodded. Without Bronson, he might be dead. Worse, all life on Earth would have been in danger of extinction. "Thank you," said Og.
Bronson closed his eyes. The Cyber Snake he'd become shimmered and then disappeared.
Og watched the code flowing around his branches. His leaves caressed the silver threads and they began to repair the carnage. Moments later, Og heard the beat of his own heart calling him. Satisfied that the damage of the Cyber Spider could be undone, he concentrated on the rhythms of his flesh and allowed himself to be drawn home.
He coughed, spluttered and opened his eyes. He was lying on the office floor, next to his desk. Bronson was sitting beside him. Og pulled himself free of the USB and licked the blood from his fingertip.
"You look awful," Og said, seeing dark rings around Bronson's eyes.
"You're no picture of joy yourself," said Bronson. He regarded Og for a moment, then a thin smile touched his lips.
"But you're less ugly than you were before, Og, far less ugly than you were before."
And so Endeth the Tale of Oleg Og

One of the greatest Mc's of all time. I dont know what you fuckers are talkin about. You think you're funny with your little acting jokes, but the truth is, if his acting were half as good as his mic skills, he'd be winnin Oscars. I think it's hilarious that a buncha kids who are probably white cyber geeks are commenting on how 'soft' Ice Cube is. He may not have been shot nine times like your gay ass pop rapper 50 Cent, but at least Ice Cube can rap. 50 Cent and all those muthafuckas that just came on the scene suck cock. Ice Cube started this gangsta shit, and this the muthafuckin thanks he gets?
Ice Cube is the hardest mofo out there, dumbasses.

one of the realest, hardest best rappers of all time. one of the founders of gangsta rap along with Eazy-E, Dr.Dre, MC Ren, and DJ Yella. Now though, he's not as hard. He doesn't rap much anymore and now only acts in shitty movies. His rapping legend will live forever!!!
Ice Cube was one of the realest niggaz ever to hit the scene.

CHENNAI, INDIA, April 17, 2001: Till such a peaceful settlement is arrived at and the Island Tamils are able to return to Sri Lanka, the BJP will continue to urge the Union Government to intervene in the Sri Lankan issue for a solution that is acceptable to all Sri Lankan Tamils and will ensure peace in the island. This was one of the highlights of the party unit's election manifesto released here by the manifesto committee leader and State unit vice-president, Mr. Vaithialingam. It also urged the Indian government to continue to provide humanitarian aid to Sri Lankan refugees until it was safe for them to return home.
April 15, 2001: Time magazine ran an extensive story on the "Science of Yoga." High profile celebrities such as Christy Turlington, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Michelle Pfeiffer and Sting are among the most persuasive advocates of the current wave of yoga practiced in the US. According to the article, yoga has evolved in American consciousness in several stages: first as a spiritual cleansing and rebirth, second as a kind of preventive medicine and currently as a fitness wave, a way to gain strength, flexibility and endurance. According to the article, more than 15 million Americans include some form of yoga in their fitness regimen, twice as many as did five years ago, and 75% of all U.S. health clubs offer yoga classes. "The Indian tradition develops metaphors and ways of describing the body (life forces, energy centers) as it it is experienced, from the inside out. The Western tradition looks at the body from the outside in, peeling it back one layer at a time, believing only what it can see, measure and prove in randomized, double-blind tests. The East treats the person, the West treats the disease," the magazine says. The article, mainly positive about the effects of yoga and the research into using it as a therapy to treat or prevent disease, also brings up the critics who cite the lack of conclusive evidence about yoga's health benefits. The magazine states, "The traditional funders of studies, the pharmaceutical giants, see no financial payoff in validating yoga: no patentable therapies and no pills."
UNITED KINGDOM, April 13, 2001: Influencing the United Kingdom with their presence, the East Indian community has culturally infiltrated into many corners of British society. Last year saw the staging of the Mahabharata in British Theatre and this year Indhu Rubasingham's production of the Ramayana is playing at the National Olivier Theatre. This mixed review, titled "Farcical mystical tour" says the play is a "refreshingly immediate piece of rough theatre," and "Hindu epic as British panto," but we at HPI are at a loss to understand quite what either statement means.

GANDHI NAGAR, INDIA, April 19, 2001: In a debatable decision, Chief Minister Keshubhai Patel has banned for a year serving of non-vegetarian food in the government premises like circuit houses and rest houses. The controversial decision is actually of no consequence as the circuit houses in Gujarat in any case do not cook any nonvegetarian stuff in view of the state's sizeable Jain population and also a large number of Swaminarayan sect followers who also preach vegetarianism. The chief minister has personally issued this order in view of the 2,600th birth anniversary celebrations of Lord Mahavira. The order is being viewed as his way of wooing the politically and financially influential Jain community.
LUCKNOW, INDIA, April 17, 2001: Amid Vedic chants and sprinkling of holy Ganges water, Father Anthony Fernandes was reconverted to Hinduism after twelve years as a priest with the Catholic church in Gujarat and given the name Shankar Dev. The ceremony was carried out by Hindu Sanskar Kendra at the Radhakrishna temple in Varanasi. Eleven Vedic scholars performed the ceremony. Fernandes bathed in the holy Ganges and was escorted to the temple. He clarified that he was "returning to the ancestral roots of his free will and without any coercion from any person or organization." Father Fernandes' reconversion followed serious allegations of irregularities against the Church, which was quick to disown him. Fernandes had publicly criticized missionary activities, dubbing the diocese as "Papal Mafia," he has demanded that Bishops appointed by Rome should be derecognised and urged an investigation into the property under the Diocese and Bishops which, he said, was being misused. He has also alleged rampant discrimination within the Church.
GANGTOK, SIKKIM, April 16, 2001: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad's international general secretary, Pravin Togadia, claimed that about 33,000 people had been converted to Christianity in Sikkim in the last 25 years. "Sikkim had only a few Christians 25 years ago, but now their number has crossed 33,000. The churches are targeting Hindus and Buddhists for conversion," Togadia said in Gangtok. He said the figure of 33,000 was based on computations made by 47 VHP preachers touring villages in the state to caution people against conversions. Togadia said the release of the government census figures would confirm the VHP count.

PASCO, WASHINGTON, April 10, 2001: In this heart-wrenching article researched by the Washington Post, slaughterhouse abuse against animals across the U.S.A. has been brought into the limelight. It should give pause for thought to meateaters who believe the animals "went painlessly." Twenty-three years ago a federal law called the Humane Slaughter Act was put into place. Basically this law states that, "Slaughtered cattle and hogs first must be stunned, rendered insensible to pain with a blow to the head or an electric shock." The implementation of this law was given to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to oversee. However, very little was done by this agency to enforce the law and major violations by the slaughterhouses were simply overlooked. Even today, many animals are butchered while still conscious. Since 1998, government agencies were no longer required to even track the number of humane slaughter violations at a slaughterhouse, and by appearances the government seemed to remove itself even further from the atrocities. The only thing which has prompted change is a boycott of McDonalds by animal rights groups, which resulted in the company's requiring suppliers to use proper animal stunning techniques before slaughter.
THALWIL, SWITZERLAND, April 16, 2001: The whole world is debating English. From India to Mauritius to Europe, the steady growth of English is a concern for those advocating preserving local languages. But here in multi-lingual Switzerland, English is just part of the daily routine for schoolchildren. Most parents are delighted, believing that it is something that is needed today. European universities are giving courses in science, philosophy and business in English. There are European companies that use English as their internal language. Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark already conduct most business, science and even intellectual discussions in English.

Shot in India, Sri Lanka, Canada and the U.S., the 61-minute video looks at the cultural and social resistance to dealing with the incestuous sexual abuse of South Asian girls and the traumatic effect on it's victims.

For further information, call DAYA voicemail at 713-914-1333.
NEW DELHI, INDIA, April 17, 2001: The Centre for the Study of Developing Societies and Manushi, a women's activist magazine, will hold a series of discussions on the theme of "Laws, Liberty and Livelihood Towards a Bottom up Agenda of Economic Reforms" at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Conference Hall, starting 27th and 28th of April, 2001. The first series will highlight the interface between agriculture, industries dependent on agro-products and policy makers, while the second day focuses on the urban self from the informal sector such as street vendors, rickshaw pullers and garbage recyclers who shall tell of the actual workings of municipal laws, regulations and police powers, and how they impact the lives of the self-employed.
DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA, April 11, 2001: After nine years of tireless work, the Gujarati community officially opened a new Hindu Temple and community center to serve the local population of Hindus and international visitors. Renowned swamis from India and local members of the Theosophical Society and the All-Africa Hindu Council were present at the event. The resultant Lotus Flower Shaped Temple has combined both Western Architecture and Eastern traditional designs found at ancient temples in India. Starting on Friday, April 13, the celebration of the opening of the temple lasted for four days and the festivities featured beautifully decorated floats, a brigade, drum majorettes, bedecked horses, as well as ethnic folk dancers and singers.
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, April 13, 2001: The South African Indian community is shocked by the theft of brass murthis, or temple deities, that were stolen from the Mariamman Temple. The Pretoria Tamil League has offered a reward of US$300 for the safe return of the idols, which were imported from India. Police suspect that the five idols and three brass lamps were stolen from the temple by thieves who sell metals such as copper and brass to scrap metal dealers. The temple is never kept locked to enable 24-hour worship access to Tamils who were forced to move from the area by apartheid segregation laws. In 1984, the temple was declared a South African national monument, and two years ago it had undergone a major renovation.
LONDON, ENGLAND, April 17, 2001: A report commissioned last year by the Roman Catholic Church and headed by Lord Nolan, a former appeals judge, said clergy, staff and volunteers at Catholic institutions should be subject to police checks to stamp out sexual abuse of children, and that the church must also not hush up allegations of abuse. "We believe that the Catholic Church in England and Wales should become an example of best practice in the prevention of child abuse and in responding to it," Nolan said. The report said the Church should set up a national child protection unit and that every parish should have a designated child protection representative. Anyone who refuses to consent to a records check should not be appointed. Any allegation of abuse should be investigated and the police, social services agencies and the child protection officer appointed by the diocese or religious order should be informed. Between 1995 and 1999, 21 of the 5,600 Catholic priests in England and Wales were convicted of offenses against children, and two archbishops have been embroiled in controversies about their handling of pedophile priests. "Our hope is that this report will help to bring about a culture of vigilance where every single adult member of the Catholic church takes responsibility for creating a safe environment for children and young people," the report said.
TRINIDAD, April 13, 2001: Indian Arrival Day in Trinidad marks the arrival of indentured immigrants from India to Trinidad. The May 30, 2001, celebration will be commemorated with a special magazine by the Indo-Caribbean Cultural Council. The theme of the magazine is "Navigating Space in the Ports of Power." For Hindus and Indians in Trinidad, this theme is taken to mean the attempt to establish a permanent, equal and safe space in the various power houses (parliament, media, military, etc.) in a multi-ethnic society that is dominated and controlled by Afro-Christians. Authors are invited to submit original articles not exceeding 1,200 words. Contact "source" above for further information.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, April 18, 2001: An HPI reader in response to our April 5 piece on the opening of a new center in Sydney write, "This news item gives a misleading impression that the mentioned Centre is the only Centre spreading the message of Sri Ramakrishna in Australia. Your readers may be pleased to note that there is a Ramakrishna Sarada Vedanta Society of NSW, not very far from the mentioned Centre, operating in Sydney since 1977 under the able guidance of Pravrajika Ajayaprana Mataji, who has been spreading the message of Sri Ramakrishna not only in Sydney but all over Australia."

The Walking Dead
Zombies Attack In Awesome Banned Commercial
'The Walking Dead,' More Lightsaber!
This video is perfect for all those times you've wondered, "what would 'The Walking Dead' be like if Michonne had a lightsaber instead of a sword?" It's something we've all thought a time or two every few hours of every day always. The answer is there would be a lot more whizzing lig
New 'The Walking Dead' Promo
This Sunday's latest episode of 'The Walking Dead' "When the Dead Come Knocking" looks to be the most exciting of the season to date, now that the prison and Woodbury stories have finally overlapped. We've been wondering how the villainous Governor and his pal Merle might try to extract information from their new captives, but will AMC use some of the darker scenes from the comic books? Judge for yourself in the latest promo from "When the Dead Come Knocking!"
'The Walking Dead' Preview
With only two episodes left until 'The Walking Dead' takes a mid-season break until 2013, the AMC zombie-killer drama will begin to move at an even more breakneck speed, if that were possible. Both Woodbury and the prison are about to collide in a major way, but whose loyalties will be tested? Will Michonne see anything different about the increasingly unstable Rick? Will Glenn or Maggie crack under the weight of The Governor's pressure? Where will Daryl's allegiance fall when he learns of his brother's survival? Check out the latest photos from "When the Dead Come Knocking" for a taste!
'The Walking Dead' Preview: Loyalties Are Tested "When the Dead Come Knocking"
With only two episodes remaining this year, the worlds of 'The Walking Dead' have officially begun to collide, setting us up for a tense showdown between Woodbury and the prison as we reach the midway point of the season. Following last night's "Hounded," a few members of Rick's group have been taken hostage at the idyllic Woodbury, while Rick himself encounters an unfamiliar face waiting outside the prison, so what happens next? Check out two new clips from "When the Dead Come Knocking" to find out!
'The Walking Dead' "Hounded" Pics: Is A Certain Someone Still Alive?
While AMC's 'The Walking Dead' has certainly never been light on casualties, recent episode "Killer Within" took quite a toll on Rick Grimes' group of survivors, seemingly shuffling off the mortal coils of Rick's wife Lori, fan-favorite T-Dog, and the scrappy Carol. However, might there be a bit of hope on the horizon? Of the three survivors believed to been killed in the episode, only one's body was ever fully recovered! The latest photos from this Sunday's "Hounded" might just crack the case!
'The Walking Dead' "Hounded" Clip: Who's Getting Some Post-Apocalyptic Nookie?
For all the gloom and doom of the recent 'Walking Dead' episodes, full of heartbreaking character deaths, isn't about time someone found a bit of happiness? Even if that happiness might be soul-shatteringly awkward for fans of the comic book series? Looks like we're about to find out, as a new clip from the next all-new 'The Walking Dead' episode "Hounded" confirms a long-hinted romance, but is their any way the new coupling won't end in disaster?
'The Walking Dead' Season 3: Which Dead Character Might Return?
As if the point hadn't been hammered into our skulls a dozen or so times by now (in some cases literally), death might come for anyone on AMC's 'The Walking Dead.' This past Sunday saw two major unexpected deaths hanging a dark cloud over the series, but one idea yet to be explored has been the resurrection of dead characters via flashback, or even dream sequences. Given the traumatizing events of "Killer Within," is there any chance we might see certain dead characters going forward?
'The Walking Dead's Latest Promo: Rick and Michonne Go On A Rampage
To those of you snickering 'Archer' jokes at that headline, we salute you. But nonetheless, Rick Grimes has quite a bit to rampgage about after the shocking, and heartbreaking episode of 'The Walking Dead' that capped off this Sunday, the extra-visceral "Killer Within." Rick didn't seems to be doing to well by episode's end, so how will he deal with his emotions in next week's "Say the Word?" And what sinister threat has Michonne discovered in the latest clip?

Say You'll Stay Lyrics - Kai
Tonight, we're all alone tonight,
theres never been a moment
that trembles like tonight.
I read ur eyes tonight,
I see a love I always known
>From another time

Do u feel the way I feel?
Could u love?

[chorus 1]
Say you'll stay,
Say your sure,
Say my heart was made for yours.
Let our love lead the way
Say you'll stay (say you'll stay).
Tonight i've waited for tonight
I waited all my life
To be where we are
With you in my arms

Thirteen of 57 finalists at Sudan's Development Marketplace competition, held August 21-22 in Khartoum, won $260,000 in grants to carry out projects addressing the theme "Towards an Inclusive Sudanese Society."
Kosti Manibe, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs in the Government of National Unity, presented the awards and said that "civil society is instrumental in energizing" the country's peace process.
The competition received 523 proposals from all corners of Sudan. It aimed to identify pro-poor and pro-peace initiatives working towards consolidating peace and implementing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
Winning projects – to be implemented in Khartoum, southern Sudan, Darfur and the eastern part of the country – range from promoting a culture of peace through rural radio to clarification of water sources in remote villages and pumping water to reservoirs by using solar energy.
"These proposals proved that the Sudanese have very clear ideas of what they want to do to improve the quality of their life," said World Bank Sudan Office Manager Asif Faiz.
Awards are funded by the World Bank, the Netherlands government and DFID.
This is Sudan's second Development Marketplace competition. The first -- held in 2004 in conjunction with Ethiopia -- awarded $504,000 to 41 winners addressing a theme of improving sustainable livelihoods.

Arc's multitasker.
Arc'teryx made the Atom LT Hooded Insulation Jacket versatile for year-round mountain adventures from climbing to skiing. Its Tinthan shell is light yet durable, and the DWR coating sheds rainfall to help keep you dry on hikes and backpacking trips. Breathable Polartec Power Stretch side panels make sure you can move around with complete freedom of motion, whether you're wearing it as a midlayer or an external shell. Synthetic Coreloft insulation retains its warmth in wet weather, and the adjustable StormHood slides over helmets with ease. Arc'teryx also added an adjustable hem, a zippered internal pocket, and two zippered hand pockets for your convenience.

The gift of all gifts!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift
- Fit: True to size
My brother recently graduated from Medical school and will be moving to DC where the winters can be pretty cold. I wanted to get him something more than just a tie and so I decided to get him this. To show that I REALLY care LOL. I personally have not just one but TWO of the women's version and love them and thought that this would be a good jacket for those cold east coast winters. HE LOVES IT! He is ecstatic to come to Utah to test it against our winter versus the east this x-mas. If you are looking for the gift that keeps on giving warmth, then this is your jacket. He is 5'9" and about 140-50 and the medium fits him perfectly. It is more trim cut so you can only really layer with a light sweater under it. Also the Posidon color is gorgeous!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Great versatile jacket. Can be used from around town to hiking to layering for skiing to makeshift pillow at camp to makeshift blanket when ur stuck in an airport lol. Great warmth to weight ratio, this thing packs the heat given it's size/thickness. Fits nicely under a hard shell (I have put it under my sidewinder ), and packs into its own pocket. I also have the nano puff, this arc jacket is def more form fitting and trim cut than the nano. Order your usual size. Highly recommend, esp if u can grab it on sale.
I've got a nano puff (no hood) and would like something a bit warmer. The Atom is on sale everywhere right now. How would you say the warmth compares to your nano puff?
you're basically talking about primaloft (nanopuff) vs. coreloft (atom). coreloft is arc's proprietary insulation, while primaloft is more of an industry wide material. To be honest, you won't notice much difference in warmth between these jackets, they are very similar in that aspect. I would again reiterate that the atom is more fitted, so if you're looking to put it under a shell, def get an atom. disclosuer, my nano is a few years old, it's not the new nano 'air' model
this may also help u
Jake Anderson
Best insulating layer.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This jacket is one of my favorites. I can wear it in the lower 60s all the way down to the upper 30s, and even lower if I use it as a layering piece. The zipper is super smooth, the material is durable, and I particularly like the breathability of the stretchy material located on the sides. If you want an all-around, light weight, insulated jacket, look no further!
What is the color of sleeves cuffs on green color? On official page I notice that they are grey but on attached picture i noticing they are same color as body color.
Please let me know.
Jake Anderson
I would go with the image that is on the official Arc'teryx website, which shows them as gray. Your image may be an older version of the jacket, or maybe a knock off.
Have a question about the Carbon Copy color. Is this actually the black color? In REI and a few other sites like EVO, the carbon copy color is listed as black and their Carbon copy version has the blue trim and interior color. So which one is correct?
Bill Porreca
According to Arcteryx's site, the Carbon Copy has a more matte finish and the red interior. http://arcteryx.com/product.aspx?language=EN&gender=mens&category=Insulated_Jackets&model=Atom-LT-Hoody.
Carbon Copy is a dark, raw carbon fiber color. Think a shade lighter than slate. The red inside accents it well. This comes from someone who has tried on the jacket.
It is graphite, rather nice dark grey, definitely NOT black. The stretchy material on the sides is black though, providing an accent/contrast.
Can someone post real pictures of...
Can someone post real pictures of POSEDION & KYANOS color. I am interested in blue but hard to pick the right blue ;)
Thanks for help!
Stephen Sramek
The colors BC.com uses are color-correct and good references. Poseidon is a darker blue, almost more of a "Navy Blue." Kyanos is lighter than Poseidon.
Still would like to see how Kyanos look like compare to Poseidon. Looking this jacket same color - Poseidon do not look very dark blue to me:
Kyanos is pretty much the same colour as Olympus blue. I put the 2 jackets together and Kyanos was the slightest amount darker in hue.
Babak Sakaki
New Atom LT is a worthy upgrade for some
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Simple: one of the most versatile synthetic pieces you can buy.
Competitors: BD Access Hybrid/LT, Patagonia Nano Puff, OR Halogen Hoody
The Fall 2014 Atom LT includes a new hood, that uses the 'ballcap' adjuster behind the head- identical to the one used in the Cerium LT hoody.
It moves with your head, offering unparalleled peripheral vision.
It's less warm than the Nano puff, but more versatile. Awesome mid layer for skiing the cold days, or on it's own in the spring. Used it backpacking, walking around town, and on a bike. The fleece lined pockets are a greatly appreciated bonus.
Patagonia is releasing new Nano puff called Nano Air. I think this jacket will be better compared to Atom LT (which I love btw).
See here , looks really good:
Atom Lt also got a little longer in the torso than the previous version
Babak Sakaki
The Nano Air is nice, but lacks the internal pocket, fleece lined hand pockets and the windproof material of the jacket. Its outer material is 60 CFM- kind if like a softshell.
The Atom LT will be much more protective and offers a better hood

New Atom LT
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
This is not a review of warmth or durability. I ordered because I was curious about the new model of this great jacket.
In this revision they changed the fabric which is hard to tell by looking at it. One person said this is the same fabric used on the Atom SV.?? It is still very thin, I took a close up for detail of fabric. The hood has changed to fit a helmet, I can't test the fit as I don't have a helmet to test with but I know it's bigger than the previous and DOES include an adjuster on back of hood which cinches sides and top of hood at the same time. Inside pic of hood shows where the cord runs. They also changed the stretch cuffs by making the cuff shorter. I don't have my old version to show a side by side comparision but if you have the older one you can see the difference. The fit seems a little bigger to me but maybe not. This is the carbon copy color, similiar to colors in the past and not as dark in the stock photo.
I hope this is helpful for someone looking to purchase this updated model. I won't be keeping because the hood is so big for use without a helmet.
Any idea if it is cut longer in the front? I have always found the medium atom LT too short in the front (Larges are perfect in length- but too big in the torso)
I don't have my older version to compare but the length seems the same. Others can add in if they disagree.
Babak Sakaki
Paul, the cut is the same. BTW, I messed up on the new Atom LT- I have the LEAF version of the new Atom, which uses the Gossamera fabric, a less packable but more durable fabric than Tintham- which is what the NEW (standard) Atom LT uses.
The Gossamera is found on the new Atom AR and former on the Atom SV.
Thanks so much for the pics. BC really needs to update their stock photo. You have done a service sir! Question: the lining is red, and NOT orange, correct?
Zachary Hammons
Does this model have the hood pull...
Does this model have the hood pull adjuster?
I notice the new model on the arc'teryx website has one but they are only offering three color options on their website. Is this the same model?
Yes it does. I ordered one out of curiosity and to provide a review since no one has yet. The hood is bigger than previous model for helmet. I don't have a helmet to try with it though. I will provide pictures and other thoughts when I have more time.
Not really a question or review but just...
Not really a question or review but just thought it was curious how Arcteryx let BC sell this before they even release it on their site. I am dissapointed as I have been waiting for this new version to come out and see it has a helmet compatible hood and they changed the face fabric. I would like to know how people like the new fabric but I won't be purchasing this one since I don't wear a helmet for my activities and the original hood was even a little big. I hope others like it. I just wish this company made more jackets with normal hoods, though I guess they are aiming at a specific group of people with their gear.
Babak Sakaki
The new fabric is identical to the Atom SV. It's more stout, and less prone crinkling.
I would like to know if this jacket is...
I would like to know if this jacket is waterproof and if it can provide me enough warmth.I am intend to use it in mid mountaineering expeditions and in cold weather conditions.As I will spend the next winter in Northern Europe I would like to know if it is suitable for the purposes I need it for.
This is more of a mid layer for cold weather and outer for cool weather. I would read reviews on the original model, which is still for sale here. I don't know about this one but the other was not waterproof and the specs for this one says it has a thin shell with a DWR to shed rain, but I doubt it is waterproof since it is not a gore-tex shell. Hope this helps.

Bathtub and Shower Reglazing
Got a yucky bathtub or shower? Is your bathtub or shower worn, chipped, cracked, scratched, stained, burned, difficult to keep clean, or the color makes it look outdated? A full bathtub or shower replacement used to be the only option, but today it can be refinished, resurfaced, or reglazed on site without removal, and in just a few hours!
Specialized Refinishing Co. specializes in all types of bathtubs, cast iron bathtubs, clawfoot tubs, pedestal tubs, and showers. For a fraction of the cost of a replacement, we professionally repair, restore, refinish, resurface, reglaze, and recolor your bathtub, cast iron bathtub, clawfoot tub, pedestal tub, or shower.
We also offer a non-slip bottom that is a polymer particle system which we can do during the refinishing process.
Do the math, calculate the cost, and the time that's required for a replacement which includes:
- Contractor research and selection
- Demolition, removal, landfill fees
- Plumber and materials
- Bathtub and fixtures
- Additional costs that are discovered during construction
Specialized Refinishing Co. combines experience and quality materials to repair, restore, refinish, resurface, reglaze, and recolor your bathtub or shower. The finished product and durability of bathtub and shower refinishing all depends on how thorough the preparation is done and the products used to ensure that it will not not chip, peel, or discolor. Our customers receive the best materials available on the market. All employees are certified and complete a rigorous training program for refinishing, resurfacing, and reglazing. We are not the cheapest in town, but I can promise you the utmost professional service and highest quality of materials that are available in the business. If you decide to go with another company, just make sure that they are using top of the line products and the prep work is done correctly, as it makes a huge difference. Be sure to take a look at our before and after photos if you have not already done so.
Care Instructions:
- Suction cup bathmats, pillows, and soap dishes are not to be used on the bathtub. Specialized Refinishing Co. offers a non-slip bottom as a viable alternate.
- Please do not use Comet, Ajax, Kaboom or any other abrasive cleaners, acids, or any product not designed specifically for bathroom cleaning.
- Please do not use scrubbing sponges, steel wool, sandpaper or any gritty object to clean the tub.
- Allow your surface to cure properly to the amount of time recommended.
- Do not allow use of tools, ladders, or any other heavy objects near the tub during the curing process.
Please use non-abrasive cleaners such as Scrubbing Bubbles, Lysol Tub & Tile, Mr. Clean Eraser, 409, or Dawn Dish Soap. These will protect your new finish.

The JAviator is 1.3m in diameter weighs 2.2kg in total and generates a maximum lift of 5.4kg which translates into a theoretical maximum payload of 3.2kg. Without payload the maximum flight time is around 40min. We have designed and built the JAviator completely from scratch and use it as test platform for software projects such as Exotasks which we developed in collaboration with IBM Research and Tiptoe which is our own prototypical real-time operating system. Exotasks are an alternative to Java threads and enable time-portable programming of hard real-time applications in Java hence the name JAviator. Time-portable programs do not change their relevant real-time behavior across different hardware platforms and software workloads. Tiptoe supports even stronger forms of time portability than Exotasks in particular the execution of software processes whose real-time behavior even including system-level aspects such as their I/O communication and memory management can be predicted and maintained per process independently of any other processes. The talk will give an overview of the JAviator's hardware and flight performance and then focus on the latest developments in the Tiptoe kernel in particular its time-portable process model scheduler design and memory management.

I bought this mirror for a narrow corner wall in my woman cave (Nancy's Nook). It is perfect for a hard-to-decorate area. I like the ready-to-hang design wherein the mirror has both vertical and horizontal D-clips and wires already installed. I hung the mirror vertically after removing the horizontal clips and wire so the mirror would hang closer to the wall.
Well made...attractive...sturdy hanging device on back...love the look over a small cabinet with a tall vase of lit branches reflecting in mirror.

Ultimately it will center on whether a majority of Justices want the court to be the instrument that brings down what essentially is a political act of CONGRESS representing the people. For that they will insert any afterthought, distort any meaning, play all sorts of outrageous shell games. If it looks like the people have vehemently turned against it and their will is being thwarted by a stubborn President, they will swiftly move in and deliver the coup de grace. It all depends on the outcome of the November ´14 polls.

text: G.I. Hans: The Rise of the Obama by Ben Shapiro 4 Aug 2009 post a comment Share This: For forty years, GI Joe has been a bellweather for America's view of the military. If the new GI Joe movie is any indicator, we're headed for a dry spell for pro-military sentiment under President Obama. Originally launched in 1963 as a male version of the Barbie doll, GI Joe's creators intended for the "action figures" to be a tribute to the armed services (prototypes included "Rocky," the Army soldier, "Skip," the sailor, and "Ace," the pilot). GI Joe wore WWII or Korean War issue uniforms. For the next five years, GI Joes (including black GI Joe figures in particular areas) would dominate the market. During the Vietnam era, Hasbro, GI Joe's maker and distributor, decided to tone down the action figure's military theme as a result of the Vietnam War. Instead, Hasbro shifted the marketing to "Adventure Team," which included turning GI Joes into superheroes and having them fight "The Intruders: Strong Men from Another World." With the coming of Reagan, GI Joe regained his footing. Hasbro began marketing the product again as "GI Joe: A Real American Hero." The action figure even spawned a successful TV series, which touted GI Joe as "the code name for America's daring, highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world." Fast forward twenty years. Hollywood, always eager to capitalize on already-lucrative marketing, is ready to release its version of GI Joe: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. And the creators of the movie are marketing it specifically to the so-called NASCAR crowd. Says Paramount Vice Chairman Rob Moore, "Our starting point for this movie is not Hollywood and Manhattan but rather mid-America." Or not. Director Stephen Sommers, wary of international audiences, says that GI Joe will be in the mold of the Adventure Team 1970s. "This is not a George Bush movie," Sommers explains. "[I]t's an Obama world. Right from the writing stage we said to ourselves, this can't be about beefy guys on steroids who all met each other in the Vietnam War, but an elite organization that's made up of the best of the best from around the world." So GI Joe isn't a Real American Hero - he's a UN peacekeeper. This is reminiscent of the determinedly unpatriotic Superman Returns, which deliberately refused to state that Superman was fighting for "truth, justice and the American way." Even GI Joe is now subject to the dictates of political correctness. We wouldn't want Europeans thinking that we idolize the men and women of the American military. That would be uncouth. This is a reflection of Hollywood's read on the Obama Administration. When Hollywood tackled GI Joe back in the 1980s, it focused on the GI Joes as Americans through and through - undoubtedly, a stance impacted by the renewed patriotism of the Reagan Administration. But with Obama, it's different - we're supposed to think of American soldiers as pieces in a larger coalition. GI Joe is supposed to be GI Hans, GI Vladimir, and GI Cho. GI Joe may be a good movie. It may not. But if the creators' intentions are reflected in the film, there's little doubt it won't be an American movie.

Joe Biden on LaGuardia Airport: 'I must be in some third-world country'190
Vice President Joe Biden is very unhappy about America's declining infrastructure. During a speech in Philadelphia today, he threw New York's LaGuardia Airport under the bus to drive that point home. But first, the vice president talked about advancements overseas. "If I blindfolded someone and took him at 2 o'clock in the morning into the airport in Hong Kong and said, 'Where do you think you are?' He'd say, 'This must be America. It's a modern airport,'" Biden said. International airports have indeed seen some stunning innovations recently.
"If I took you and blindfolded you and took you to LaGuardia Airport in New York, you'd think, 'I must be in some third-world country,'" Biden said. When his statement drew laughter from the crowd, Biden quickly noted, "I'm not joking." To further illustrate just how bad things have become, he pointed to statistics from the World Economic Forum. "Just in the last decade, the United States has fallen 20 spots when it comes to the quality of infrastructure," Biden said. "It's embarrassing, and it's stupid. It's stupid."
"That puts us literally behind, they rank us behind Barbados," Biden said. "Great country. One airport." Biden's remarks came during the unveiling of Amtrak's newest rail engine. "Why did we lead the world economically for so long? We had the most modern infrastructure in the world," he said. Despite being one of the most popular airports in the world, LaGuardia is often criticized by travelers for its dated or "unique" facilities.
In fact, another public figure has used Biden's exact language in the past. In 2011, during an appearance on CNN, Donald Trump ridiculed the facility. "You land your plane at LaGuardia Airport, you go to LaGuardia Airport, it's like a third-world airport," Trump said. "This country is a laughing stock throughout the world." The Donald's words were met with plenty of controversy, so Biden may also come under fire for the harsh remarks. But that's nothing new for the charismatic vice president.

Mark O'Noble?
Filed: Tuesday, 26th October 2010
By: Staff Writer
West Ham's Mark Noble could be set to feature for the Republic of Ireland at international level, according to fresh rumours.
The 23-year-old Hammers midfielder is said to be considering giving up hope of featuring for England - whom he has previously captained at under 21 level - in order to play for the Irish.
Canning Town-born Noble is understood to qualify to play for Ireland through one of his grandparents and is able to do so following a FIFA ruling last year that declared players who have represented one country at youth and under-21 level can now change their allegiance.
Noble - who made his 20th and final appearance for England's under-21s at the 2009 European Championships, in which he captained the side beaten in the final by Germany - has never been picked at senior level for England and is said to have run out of patience, despite the careers of regular central midfielders such as Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard soon to be coming to an end.

Fans, gamers and fanatics of The Sims had an opportunity to volley some questions off The Sims 4 producer, Grant Rodiek. One of the users made a list of things they would love to see in The Sims 5, but Rodiek quickly shot down any possibility of a sequel at the moment.
As is typical with most large games, The Sims 4 suffered lots of digitally pirated copies making their way throughout certain gaming circles upon its release. What a lot of the pirates didn't know was that the game's failsafe was to slowly pixelate the screen until the entire game is censored.
The executive editor at IGN has noted that the upcoming life-simulator from Maxis and Electronic Arts will have its review copies withheld until after the game is made available to the general public.
A new 10 minute gameplay video has surfaced for The Sim 4, with a detailed look at how some of the new gameplay features work, what some of the new and improved elements are like and how well some of the features work.
The Sims 4 will be borrowing a page from Battlefield 4's playbook. The game will offer players a Premium membership that provides early access to DLC.
Electronic Arts and Maxis released a new video of footage they showcased at this year's E3 event behind closed doors. Now, the entire public gets to see what only a select few managed to witness at the largest video game event of the year.
Recently, the company made a more visible blog posting about the absence of toddlers and pools, getting into a few of the tech specs behind the decision.
Electronic Arts has been under the microscope ever since their infamous run as the two-time running Worst Company in America. While they no longer hold such a disparaging moniker to the company's name, they sometimes carry out antics that might lead people to believe that they haven't completely changed from their old ways.
Today Maxis is releasing Update 10 for their 2013 SimCity reboot. This patch removes the widely despised online requirement for the game.
Maxis mentioned this weekend that they were still working on an offline mode for city-building game SimCity. Today they revealed that this mode will be part of Update 10, the game's next patch.
Maxis has addressed one of the major complaints with last year's SimCity reboot. No, they didn't remove the always-online requirement. They've enabled mod support for the city-building game.
Maxis is exploring the idea of an offline mode for SimCity, Emeryville studio general manager Patrick Buechner announced today. What's more, they're also toying with the possibility of allowing mods.
SimCity will be receiving its first full expansion pack later this fall. Cities of Tomorrow allows players to bring their cities into the future.
We may never live to see the day that jetpacks are commonplace. However, our Sims will be able to experience such glory days in the Sims 3 expansion Into The Future.
Key members of SimCity developer Maxis revealed today that they've left the company. Creative director Ocean Quigley, lead engineer Andrew Willmott and lead gameplay engineer Dan Moskowitz have decided to create their own studio called Jellygrade.
