Fallout: New Vegas Review
What happens in Fallout, stays in Fallout.
I cannot deny the fact that I am a big Fallout fan. Fallout 3 was arguably one of the best games of all time, and we here at MEGamers spent a countless number of hours exploring the wastelands. The game gave us gamers so many choices to make and let us watch as our choices unfolded right in front of our eyes. I still remember how stunned I was when one mission in Fallout 3 got a whole city nuked. Those hard choices and dramatic situation is what makes this series what it is.
So here comes the carefully named Fallout: New Vegas, a game that involves around Sin city and has it as a focal point of the whole story. Basically the story goes like this: a group called New California republic took over Hoover Dam, a dam which is behind the supply of water and electricity to New Vegas. So logically, all the gangs and tribes in the wastelands would love to get their hands on this strategic location. Your characters part in the game is interesting, you were simply a courier delivering a package that got stuck in something out of his/her control and as it plays out, the ending will fully depend on the choices he/she makes.
To get this out of the way early on, the reason why we called the title carefully named is because the game feels more like an expansion pack than a proper sequel. If you walk into this one expecting a full new game with a ton of new features, you are going to be left utterly disappointed. Just keep in mind, Fallout 3 was so good that even an expansion would be great. Fallout: New Vegas might be more like an expansion, but it is one hell of a long expansion. The game with the main and side mission will take you more than 80 hours to complete. To make things even better, the side mission are not just some silly missions on the side for you to waste some time with, but some of the side mission stories were actually more interesting and intense than the main story itself! Keep your eyes wide open playing this game, as every corner can have something interesting waiting for you.
The Gameplay remains the same in this one. No major change as the combat system is still intact and the controls are identical to Fallout 3. The only problem here though, is the return of the glitches. There is no denying the fact that Fallout 3 was filled with glitches and New Vegas is not different. Slowdowns will occur at times and the game even manages to freeze on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. We were not that concerned with these issues though for one main reason: The game is so huge. Being so big and open-ended comes at a cost that we are willing to pay considering all the goodies tacked into this one.
What you do in this game is all up to you and that is why Fallout is the series it is today. But what is new in this game is the variety of stuff to do, like we mentioned earlier the side missions are fun and keep you in your seat for a while. Missions aside, even traveling around the wastelands is a ton of fun. You will meet many unique characters that require your help or might have something for you. Your actions now will also judge how others perceive you and react to your orders and requests, and your repetition will increase or decrease in the whole town you are in. For example, if you take over a town with a group of thugs, your rep in that town will be bad and you will not be welcome to come back. On the other hand, if you helped defend the town against the thugs, you will be greeted as a hero every time you are around.
The Scorecard | |||||||
No changes from Fallout 3, which if we remember correctly was fantastic |
Probably one of the lowest points in this one, considering the overall performance and the glitches found. | ||||
Music and the voice acting are good, just the voice syncing fails to impress. |
Many side missions to complete, over 80 hours of gameplay | ||||
Vegas feels and looks exciting in this one, get ready to lose some caps gambling! |
If you have the time and the money, this one is a must pick up regardless of all the issues holding it down. |

Outdoors: Pheasant, rabbit and quail season starts today
By Dale BOwman Post-Tribune correspondent November 7, 2013 11:16PM
This is the kind of big buck — photographed near Lemon Lake County Park by Bill Peak last week — moving around now in the peak of the rut that get hunters and non-hunters alike fired up. Bill Peak/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 9, 2013 11:08AM
Budd Veverka hunts south.
But the basic advice from Indiana's farmland game research biologist for getting permission to hunt upland game applies north as well.
"It is tough going out and talking to landowners,'' he said. "The ones willing already have a lot of people on them. Knock on 10 doors, maybe 10 percent will let you on. That is one. Check the guy next door who is a little bit smaller. Rabbits are moving across there. Pheasants are moving.
"You are going to get shut down a lot, but you have to do. Be polite. Eventually if you work through enough people, you will get on.''
Hunting for pheasant, rabbit and quail opens today in Indiana.
I know Veverka is right in what he says about getting on property, but I find it easier to type his advice than follow it.
Watch quail this season.
"Quail had a really good year because of the drought,'' he said. "You may find some quail in the northwest part of the state. You may find quail in places you haven't seen them.''
Expectations are about usual for pheasants.
"I would expect 14,000 (pheasant) hunters, 12,000 ringnecks (harvested), just because we didn't have a winter two years ago,'' Veverka said.
As to rabbits, he said, "My guess is we are about square with where we have been. They don't seem to be going up or down with them.''
Deer: "Boys are starting to chase the girls,'' a staffer reported at Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Area. That's true all over. The rut is on. ... LaSalle FWA has had a decent deer year so far with 20 bagged, including an 8-point on Saturday. ... Kingsbury FWA property manager Ron Lorman expects bowhunters to do well next week with the rut and the forecast for cold weather ahead of the opening of gun season on Nov. 16.
For more outdoors coverage go to post-trib.com/sports
A Facebook conversation (facebook.com/INdnr) about firearms deer season rules will be held from 2-3 p.m. Wednesday.
Fishing: There's been spotty perch report on the Gary flats and in deeper water off the Port of Indiana. ... Lake Michigan fisheries biologist Brian Breidert thought rains should bring in some winter steelhead in the streams and the St. Joseph River. For the week through Wednesday morning, 584 steelhead had passed the South Bend Fish Ladder. He said there is still a few Chinook spawning and coho in. ... When weather has permitted, there's been some good lake trout action around the reef outside the Port of Indiana. ... Breidert said some whitefish and one 4-pound walleye were in the gill nets outside of Michigan City. "Night walleye action is just around the corner and spawning whitefish is about two weeks out,'' he emailed.
Waterfowl: It was a banner day Wednesday at Kankakee FWA when the corn opened up with 177 ducks, including 67 mallards and 60 wood ducks, and 11 Canada geese bagged. ... More water has helped at LaSalle, where property manager Ken Bisacchi said they had a good day in the west cell (which is open every third day) on Tuesday with a bag that included 15 mallards and 24 woodies. ... The first Canada goose season in the north zone ends Sunday.
Wolf walleye: Perch America, led by Bruce Caruso, had its annual stocking Wednesday at Wolf Lake of 3,700 advanced growth walleye
Hunting notes: The second doves season opens today. ... Hunting for raccoon and opossum also opens today. ... Hunting for Sora rails ends Saturday.
Cranes: The weather changes should be bringing the peak closer for cranes at Jasper-Pulaski FWA. The last count, more than a week ago, was 8,445.

I have been told that making a good, well established blog is to meet new bloggers. I have become a member of the Better Blogger Network and I am meeting new bloggers every day. I have been trying to do these linkups but some of them are tougher than they look. So here is a linkup that I think I can get into. Today, I started following Gentri Lee & her 7 Question's Linkup.
My wedding photo. I am always trying to make funny faces, but this was captured perfectly! It's so me!
7 Questions – #1
1. I say "Jump" You say ______.
What you talkin' about Willis?
2. What is your favorite flower?
Orchid (Phal)
3. If you had to choose between having plumbing or electricity, which would you choose?
I would say plumbing, however don't you have to have electricity to have plumbing? i.e. flushing a toilet, maybe not.
4. What is your go-to funny youtube video? (keep 'em clean)
I can't say that I have a "go-to funny" youtube video, but there is one of my niece laughing at her mommy with a bag of frozen veggies! Annaliese cracks me up!
5. Do you think dreams mean something?
I think that dreams serve a purpose to help relax the mind while sleeping, however where some of them come from have no idea. They might have relavance to what crossed you mind at some point in time. Did that answer it or am I ranting?
6. Do you collect anything?
Sadly, I collect pigs, figurines, stuffed animals, yard art, anything PIG. That might explain why I don't eat pork or I may just not like the taste of it. My husband says I collect dogs. That must be because I have 4 of them that fill my life with love and lots of wet kisses!
7. You're in a situation that is everything it should be. You're with the right people, in the right place, doing the right things, but it doesn't "feel" right… What do you do?
I would say that if you don't feel right, then it may not be right. I would get out dodge and take a chill pill!
Remember to go to Gentri Lee's blog to find next weeks 7 Questions linkup. I know I will!

According to reports, Dustin Byfuglien had himself a brush with the law in Hennepin County, Minnesota on Wednesday night. Darren Wolfson was the first to tweet the news that Byfuglien was arrested for operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol. Perhaps what's most alarming about this report, more so than the actual arrest, is Byfuglien's weight being reported at 286 pounds! What have you been up to this offseason, Dustin Byfuglien?
The Winnipeg Jets defenseman reportedly refused a breathalyzer. Documentation of the arrest has Byfuglien being released from custody at 2:23 AM.
Reports of Byfuglien's drunken boating and bulging frame are not what Jets fans wanted to hear as the city of Winnipeg prepares for the return of NHL hockey. At 6'5″ and a listed weight of 265 pounds (Wolfson stated he played at 245), "Big Buff" is truly a large specimen in the NHL. Unless he spent the summer building muscle, we can expect him to show up to training camp carrying a spare tire… or two.
This calls for some Photoshopping!

Ask Slashdot: What Do You Do If You're Given a Broken Project?
samzenpus posted about a year ago | from the cleaning-up-the-mess dept.
308X10 writes "Suppose you're assigned to a project that someone else has created. It's an app, you'll work on it alone. You think 'how hard can it be,' you don't check out the source code before you accept the assignment. But then, it turns out the code is not robust. You create a small new feature, and the app breaks down in unexpected ways. You fix a bug, and new bugs pop up all over the place. The person who worked on the project before you is well respected in the company, and you are 'just a contractor,' hired a few months ago. The easy way out is to just quit, as there's plenty of jobs you can take. But that doesn't feel right. What else can you do?"

Winchester, MA, is a picturesque suburb located 8 miles north of Boston. The town's McCall Middle School is widely known for its Manchester Field, the main athletic field used by both students and residents. When the town noticed that flooding occurred in the area of Manchester Field and the adjoining neighborhoods, it engaged engineering firm AECOM Environment to help solve the problem.
Polar Beverages, the country's largest independent soft-drink bottler that mainly distributes its products in New England and upstate New York, has a manufacturing facility in Auburn, Mass., as well as several warehouses in the area. As the company faced the need for increased storage space, Polar leased a large warehouse in Auburn with an eye toward not only expanding its storage capacity but also consolidating most of its warehouses in this new location.
When Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE: SKT), known for its premiere outlet shopping locations, embarked on the redevelopment of its center in Bluffton, S.C., the company employed Ward Edwards, Inc. to oversee the engineering aspects of the project. Redesigning the existing stormwater management system was on top of a to-do list for the Ward Edwards engineers, who had to find a modern solution to replace a network of detention ponds constructed 20 – 30 years ago.
Alpharetta, GA, lies at the northern edge of the metropolitan Atlanta area and is the home to a beautiful environmental park known as Rock Mill Park.

by Meyer F. B.
Language: English
Publisher:Youth With A Mission
Mardel Price $15.99
For over a century, the writings of F. B. Meyer have provided Christians with a treasure trove of lasting value, affirming the gospel for every age. Careful editing by Lance Wubbels has helped to sharpen the focus of Meyer's thoroughly biblical portraits and update the language, while retaining their authentic and timeless flavor.
F. B. Meyer's devotional studies on biblical characters reflect a rare depth of spiritual experience. It is comforting to find that these great figures were not so different from ourselves... sometimes weak, indifferent, and willful. Yet they had their moments of faith, humility, and courage, and God was able to use these for His greater purposes. God's faithfulness, which not only accepts but transforms such inconsistency, calls us to more effective Christian living.

Police: Report of man with rifle near Vt schools was falseThe Associated Press | February 16,2013COLCHESTER Police say a report of a man with a rifle near two schools in Colchester turned out to be a false alarm.
Police received information Thursday afternoon about two students who said they saw a man holding what appeared to be a rifle in the woods near the Mallets Bay School.
Police put that school and Colchester Middle School on lockdown while they searched the area.
They later found a man surveying property near the area. He was wearing clothing similar to what the students described and was carrying surveying tools that may have been mistaken for a firearm.

OLYMPIA -- Washington Attorney General Christine Gregoire and Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers today put the federal government on notice that they will sue the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) if the department refuses to assess the environmental harm caused by decades of nuclear weapons production at Hanford.
In a letter to top federal officials, Gregoire and Myers said they will ask a court to order required assessments of environmental harm at Hanford if the federal government does not perform the assessments. Under federal law, the letter is required before a lawsuit can be filed.
While cleanup efforts have been under way at Hanford for a number of years, the federal government never has performed a thorough analysis of the harm that Hanford nuclear production caused to groundwater, wildlife and other natural resources, Gregoire and Myers said. Such an assessment, required by federal law, will lead to a better cleanup by ensuring the government understands the cost of failing to identify and correct problems, they said.
"The Hanford Reservation's essential role in defending our national security carried a steep environmental price tag," Gregoire said. "Our states have a duty to ensure that the federal government identifies and repairs that damage."
Gregoire stressed that the state's goal in sending the letter is not to recover monetary damages from DOE. Instead, the goal is to make sure the cleanup is as thorough as possible.
The letter follows the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) rejection of both states' requests to join in a federal court mediation between the DOE and the Yakama Indian Nation, which is one of the natural resources "trustees" at Hanford. Washington and Oregon are also trustees.
In 2002, the Yakama Nation, in its role as a trustee, filed a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) action against the DOE and the Department of Defense. The Yakamas asked for monetary damages or the restoration and replacement of natural resources damaged as a result of federal activities at Hanford.
Because Washington and Oregon citizens have strong interests in the Hanford cleanup, both states asked to join the mediation without having to formally file suit against the United States. The Yakama Nation welcomed the states, but the DOJ rejected their request.
The mediation between the Yakama Nation and DOE has not yet begun.

Michael Hively, general manager for Bland Farms LLC, Glennville, Ga., returned from a recent trip to Peru and described the onions as "the prettiest crop I've ever seen."
"The quality should be excellent this year," he added.
Industrywide, volume is estimated at 3,000 containers compared to 4,200 in 2007, he said. Each container holds about 52,000 pounds of onions.
Growers in Peru give priority to exports, so U.S. importers usually get the best quality, said John Vlahandreas, national onion sales director for Wada Farms Marketing Group LLC, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
On Sept. 25, 2007, 40-pound cartons of jumbo yellow granex onions from Peru were selling for $16-18, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This year, Vlahandreas said he expects to see prices in the $14-16 range. As of Sept. 8, 2008, prices were $22-24.
Volume is down because growers overproduced last season, so they cut back this year's crop, said Kevin Hendrix, vice president of Hendrix Produce Inc., Metter, Ga.
The company started shipping Peruvian onions the first week of September, right on schedule, he said, adding that quality looked good.
Some shipments arrived a bit later than usual because growers were reluctant to get back into the deal too soon, recalling the "disastrous" pricing they saw last year, said Bob DeBruyn, president of DeBruyn Produce Co., Zeeland, Mich.
Somewhat cool, cloudy weather also led to a late start.
"It's taking at least a week more to cure (the onions) than we're used to," he said in mid-August.
The upside of the delay is that it allows the onions more time to grow.
With the deal lasting several months and with reduced volume this year, the delay may not have a significant effect on the overall crop, DeBruyn said.
"Things normally tend to catch up during the season," he said.
"At this point, I have no reason to believe that the quality won't be good," he said, but he added that growers would have to exercise restraint and not rush the curing process as they try to get back on schedule.
This year's reduced volume and good mix of sizes should result in a more productive season for Peruvian growers and U.S. shippers, Hively said.
The market was so bad last year that some Peruvian onions were sold at less than break-even prices, he said. And there was an overabundance of large sizes.
"Last year, 90% of the onions that came out of Peru were colossal," he said. "The sizing was (disproportionate) to what the retailers and wholesalers expected from the Peru onion program."
This year, Bland Farms should have "a good mixture" of up to 30% medium sizes, up to 45% jumbos and the balance colossals.
"There's a lot of things on the agronomy side that you can do to control sizing," Hively said, like adjusting the spacing in the beds and tweaking fertilizer applications.
No matter what the commodity, "Farmers inherently want to grow the biggest, prettiest, best piece of fruit," he said. "Last year, it just got out of hand."
Bland Farms handles about one-third of the total Peruvian sweet onion deal and will have Peruvian product until mid-January, Hively said.
Sweet Onion Trading Co., Palm Bay, Fla., will cut its Peruvian onion program by half this year and increase its supply of medium sizes, said president Barry Rogers.
"We ended up losing money last year," he said. "The packouts were terrible."
Early quality looked good this year, he said.
The annual game plan for Gerrald's Vidalia Sweet Onions Inc., Statesboro, Ga., is to switch to Peruvian onions when the Vidalia onion storage crop is exhausted in order to provide an uninterrupted supply of sweet onions, said Jamie Brannen, vice president.
The company will source from Chile starting in late January.
The sweet onion category has gotten so popular that it's imperative for major players to offer them year-round, he said.
Last August, the Peruvian onion-growing region around Ica was reeling from a magnitude 8 earthquake, but DeBruyn said the infrastructure seems to have recovered, though the lives of residents who lost their homes still are in disarray.
Irrigation wells were not damaged, the ports are working, and trucks can get in and out, he said, "but people still are living in rugged conditions."

Traceability, tariffs, labor and water rights rank high among lobbying agenda issues for the Fresno-based California Grape & Tree Fruit League.
The pressing labor-related issue of the moment for the league, and a focus of its lobbying efforts this year, is proposed card-check legislation, said Barry Bedwell, the organization's president.
Under card check, employees of a company cast public votes on whether they want to form a union. In other kinds of voting for or against union membership, balloting is secret.
The name of proposed federal legislation that would allow card check voting is a serious misnomer, Bedwell said.
"The Employee Free Choice Act is anything but that," he said.
As one lawmaker opposed to the measure said, the Employee "Forced" Choice Act would be a better name for it, Bedwell said.
Fortunately, he said, there are a number of other lawmakers who share their colleague's sentiments on the issue — if not his gift for phrase-making.
"It's (the card check bill) having trouble in the Senate, as well it should," Bedwell said. "Realistically, once people understand that their absolute right to a secret ballot is being taken away, they say, 'There's got to be a better way.'"
Resolving trade conflicts with Mexico is another hot-button issue for the league, Bedwell said.
Grapes, which now face a 45% tariff, are one of the commodities most affected by the impasse, Bedwell said. But while the problem is a very serious one, time is on California shippers' side.
"It's a very major concern," he said. "The good news is we have time. (Grapes slated for export to Mexico) don't ship until later in the summer."
Between now and then, Bedwell said, hopes are high for a compromise.
"Once people realize what's at stake, they'll come to a reasonable compromise," he said.
The committee was set to hold a May 1 workshop to educate growers on what kinds of traceability demands they can expect in coming months and years, Bedwell said.
"We're trying to help our members understand requests related to bags in terms of traceability," he said. "(There are) requests by retailers for bar codes on bags. The workshop will provide some further detail on what could happen."
The Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Association's Produce Traceability Initiative, by contrast, calls for traceability down to the box, not the bag, level, Bedwell said.
Bedwell said he can understand where retailers are coming from. The more extensive the labeling, the quicker a product at retail is to check out, and the less chance there is for error.

Bill of Health
Bill of Health is the captivating medical care strategy game for three to five players. Players must set prices low to attract patients, while still being able to afford to care for them for the duration – no matter what happens. Compete with other health care providers to increase revenue and finance improvements in quality. Should you invest in quick fixes or in better systems and training? Bid wisely, invest strategically, and make your care the best it can be or the next bill will be yours!
Why Bill of Health Matters
Bill of Health is designed to illustrate the concept of capitated payments for health care in the U.S. health care system, and this payment model's positive effects on health care quality and costs.
Bill of Health supports Aligning Forces for Quality, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's signature effort to lift the overall quality and value of health care in targeted communities, reduce racial and ethnic disparities, and provide models for national reform.
Bill of Health was designed and produced in collaboration with Digital Mill, and made possible with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
Play Summary
Players take on the role of health care providers trying to stay afloat in changing health care markets. Every round four patient cards with unique health problems come seeking care. Players bid on each patient. The player who bids lowest wins that patient's business, is paid equal to the value of her bid, and is in charge of taking care of the patient for the rest of the game. Bid low to attract patients, but bid too low and you'll go broke trying to take care of expensive patients!
Players use the payment from their patients to upgrade their health care infrastructure, unlocking the capacities to treat their patients' problems more efficiently, and to prevent their patients from developing new problems. Each patient a player has at the end of the game gives her points towards winning – the riskier the patient, the more points he provides – but provides one less point for each health problem remaining. The player who can take the best care of the most patients to get the most points wins!

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 And full out joying is no more in Moab; they thought evil against Heshbon. Come ye, and lose we it from [the] folk. Therefore thou being still, [thou] shalt be stilled, and sword shall follow thee. (And rejoicing is no longer in Moab; they plotted evil against Heshbon. Come ye, and let us destroy them from being a nation. And so thou shalt be silenced, O town of Madmen, yea, the sword shall follow after thee.) | 2 Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon men will plot her downfall: 'Come, let us put an end to that nation.' You too, O Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. |

CAIRO - At least 20 people were killed and scores wounded Wednesday, May 2, when armed attackers assaulted an anti-army protest in Egypt, casting a deep shadow over this month's vote to elect a successor to ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
"Where is the army? Why are they not stopping these people?" a bystander told Reuters as the violence persisted.
Unidentified "thugs" armed with guns or batons attacked demonstrators, who camped out near Egypt's defense ministry in Abbassiyya square in downtown Cairo.
Qaradawi Urges Egypt Rivals to Heal Rift
Egypt Vote..Conservative or Liberal IslamistPolitics Saps Brotherhood Religious Soul
Security and medical sources said 11 people were killed and over 160 wounded in the clashes.
But a doctor at a field hospital in the area told AFP that 20 people were killed and dozens injured.
Shots rang out as young men dashed back and forth across debris-scattered streets, hurling rocks, glass and petrol bombs.
"Down, down with military rule," yelled protesters.
The fighting raged on unabated through the morning, but subsided in the afternoon.
Wounded men were hauled away as others filled bottles with petrol while shots rang out.
A Reuters witness saw some combatants carrying guns and one with a sword.
The army sent in extra vehicles and troops, but pledged in a statement not to disperse peaceful demonstrators.
Protestors, who are supporters of disqualified Salafi candidate Hazem Salah Abu-Ismail, have been camped out since Saturday to protest his disqualification.
"We are here to demand that the army council hand over power," 19-year-old Tarek Samir, one of the protesters, told Reuters.
On Sunday, one person was killed and 119 injured in clashes between Abu-Ismail's supporters and residents of the Abbassiya neighborhood in Cairo, where the defense ministry is located.
Protests since Mubarak's ouster in a popular uprising last month have often turned violent, with thugs associated to the previous regime frequently blamed.
Vote or Not?
The killings of protestors have sparked a storm of condemnations across the country.
"SCAF & Government unable to protect civilians or in cahoots with thugs, former UN nuclear watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei posted on Twitter, referring to the ruling military council.
Egypt going down the drain.
Two presidential candidates have suspended their electoral campaigns over the killings.
"Anything related to campaigning today including voluntary activities on the ground is being suspended," Ali al-Bahnasawy, media adviser of candidate Abdel-Moneim Abul-Futuh, told Reuters.
Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi told reporters he decided to suspend his campaign for 48 hours "in solidarity with the protesters."
He blamed the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces because it is the ruling authority.
SCAF "is the first to be responsible," he said.
The Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party said the violence signaled an attempt to "obstruct the handover of power".
The Brotherhood also said it would boycott a meeting on Wednesday between the military council and party leaders to defuse a crisis between the Islamist-dominated parliament and the army-backed interim government.
The April 6 Youth Movement decried the "massacres" and demanded the army be held to account for its "crimes committed against the revolution and revolutionaries".
Protesters often accuse the army and state security of paying or encouraging thugs to quash peaceful demonstrations.
The violence casts a deep shadow over presidential election, set for May 23, amid speculations about postponing the vote.
But analysts believe that the violence would not disrupt plans to hold the ballot.
The unrest, limited to Cairo, is on too small a scale so far to influence the election, said Mustapha Kamel Al-Sayyid, a political science professor at Cairo University.
"These are small groups," he told Reuters, adding that if anything, the trouble would intensify popular demands for an end to military rule.
The army, which has pledged to hand over to civilian rule after the presidential election, has faced mounting criticism of its handling of the turbulent political transition since Mubarak's fall.Many Egyptians suspect the generals will seek a strong influence even after the new president assumes power.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Blaze!
Facts about Blaze
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Blaze's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Blaze is a 9 week old gsd pup that is full of energy- and full of himself at times! He is an unusually marked puppy but his colors are changing and blending as he grows, which is quite typical of the breed. He's outgoing for the most part but also knows when to come running to his foster mom, too. Blaze is a very loving puppy.
Blaze and his 5 littermates were rescued June 19, 2008 from the Shelby County Humane shelter. Their owners gave them up because they didn't have time for them. Reportedly both parent dogs are full blooded German Shepherds.
This puppy will not be available for adoption until after his neuter surgery. However, GSRCA is taking applications now. Neuter surgery is tenatively scheduled for August 14th.
This dog is crate trained, spayed or neutered, up to date on shots and HW negative. Adoption application, home visit, and $350 adoption fee are required.
Please read our adoption requirements on our home page. Many of your questions can be answered here. We welcome your phone call, but for a faster response, it is best to email us your specific questions.
After reviewing GSRCA's adoption process, please fill out the application completely. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE PROCESSED! This is the first step in our adoption process. No adoption will be considered or discussed until the application has been received.
Thank you for considering a rescued German Shepherd dog!
Other Pets at German Shepherd Rescue of Central Alabama
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blaze, a Pike Road German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Pike Road, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Pike Road.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pike Road already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pike Road breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pike Road paves the way for another one to be saved.

Cygalle Healing Spa hasn't been very affected by the economy due to its location and focus on holistic wellness. "I'm in the right marketplace at the right time," says Dias.
FACES DaySpa is a 26-year-old award-winning business that plans to open a new location on the mainland within the coming year. "Everything always works out for the best; it's just not always the way you thought it would be," says Owen.
Pevonia International has distributors in 95 countries and is growing. "We have to be optimistic always; we must always overcome adversity," says Hennessy.
Gadabout is a multimillion-dollar, award-winning business that includes seven locations in Tucson, Arizona. "I did what I intended to do--make a flourishing business," says McNair-Wingate.
The International Dermal Institute started as one classroom and now has 40 locations worldwide. "We didn't know enough to know that we couldn't do it; there's a gift that comes with that. You see opportunities with eyes that aren't jaded," says Wurwand.
Sircuit Cosmeceuticals is a seven-year-old company that moved its facilities to a larger building due to growth during the down economy. "We're very optimistic," says Wolfgeher.
There's no doubt about it, 2009 may have been the most challenging year for small businesses since the Great Depression. People are beginning to tell survival stories about how, by some miracle, their business weathered the storm, and these tales will certainly go down in the family histories of those business owners who lived to tell them.
With the storm clouds beginning to clear, it is a good time to get back to the basics and look at your company with a fresh set of eyes. After all, it's a brave new world out there, and the spa industry is full of companies that have formulated strategies through trial and error, allowing them to both survive and thrive through a variety of challenges.
A successful company is comprised of many details, including hard work, persistence and a positive outlook, but what is the magic combination of these details that can help your business blossom in 2010?
Beyond every other detail, no matter how much desire a small business owner has for success, it won't be realized unless there is a good, solid plan to back it up. Universally, there are certain details to consider when starting or reinventing a business, including finances, competition, location and team development. All of these should be addressed within a comprehensive business plan.
Finances. "When you're starting something from scratch and building it, you face the financial investment, which is always a challenge," says Cygalle Dias, founder of Cygalle Healing Spa, located at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. In other words, you have to know where your money is coming from before anything else.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Obama*s Deadline Is "Great News" for the Taliban
Obama's Deadline Is 'Great News' for the Taliban
Thursday, October 14, 2010 04:16 PM
By: Ronald Kessler
President Obama*s deadline of July to start withdrawing troops from
Afghanistan is *great news* for the Taliban, Rep. Ted Poe, a member of the
House Foreign Affairs terrorism subcommittee, tells Newsmax.
*The Taliban are glad to hear it, because they know they can wait until we
start drawing down,* the Texas Republican says.
*You don*t have to be a military genius to understand that you never tell
your enemy when you are getting out of dodge,* Poe says. *Knowing the
deadline, they will simply wait us out. They have the moral resolve, and
they will wait until we leave.*
Poe has been to Afghanistan and has talked with troops on the ground and
with Afghan government leaders.
*They don*t want Americans there forever, but they do want us there until
they are ready to protect themselves, and so an arbitrary date makes them
very uneasy,* Poe says.
Setting a deadline sends a bad signal as well to allies and potential
sources of information, Poe says.
*These people in Afghanistan have started cooperating with the United
States in giving intelligence and information,* Poe notes. *Now that they
know that we may be leaving before the job is done, they become reluctant
to give us information, because when we*re gone, that*s when the Taliban
will do damage and will come into the area and hold people accountable for
siding with the United States.*
Obama*s approach to the war on terror suggests that he *lacks the moral
resolve to finish this fight and make sure that America is safe from
terrorists wherever they come from,* Poe says.
As an example, Poe says, *The president*s comment that we could absorb
another 9/11 attack seems to be a defeatist attitude, as opposed to saying
that the country is going to protect itself from foreign enemies and
domestic terrorists, and we will do whatever is necessary to make sure
they leave us alone.*
As a nation, *We have the right to be left alone, and people from all over
the world need to understand that there are consequences for not leaving
us alone,* Poe says. *That*s what I think the president*s message should
be to terrorists and to the world.*
As noted in the Newsmax story U.S. Faces Good News, Bad News in War on
Terror, Predator drone strikes have been taking out more al-Qaida leaders,
in part because President Bush ordered a three-fold increase in purchases
of drones.
But the decision by Atty. Gen. Eric Holder Jr. to *treat terrorists as
modern day criminals is a flawed decision,* Poe says. *These are enemy
combatants. They are prisoners of war. They should be treated under the
rules of war and tried in a military tribunal.*
Poe adds, *The decision to bring them to the United States and try them in
civilian court gives them all types of protections that no prisoners of
war have ever been entitled to before.*
Likewise, the decision to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay is a
misjudgment, Poe says.
*I*ve seen Guantanamo,* Poe says. *There are sheriffs in Texas that would
like to have a jail with those types of facilities and so many amenities,*
Poe says. *Guantanamo Bay prison was built because we do not want those
people on American soil, and we really didn*t want them in a foreign
country. It was the perfect opportunity to try them there.*
The Obama administration*s effort to use euphemisms like *man-caused
disasters* to refer to terrorism is another example of how misguided Obama
is on national security issues.
*We have to identify our enemy as to who they are,* Poe says. *We have to
know who we are at war with. Using confusing terminology to describe them
is inappropriate. They are radical jihadists who believe in killing
Americans in the name of religion, and the government should acknowledge
that and say that.*
Assuming Republicans take back control of the House, Poe says they will
attempt to alter the deadline for beginning to pull out of Afghanistan,
through legislation and control of appropriations.
*I think the president should quit apologizing for America and start
supporting the great things that the country has done. And one of those
things is when American soldiers go overseas, they go overseas to liberate
people. They never go to conquer.*
Poe adds, *The world has to know that, and the other countries that are
watching us have to know we have the resolve to finish the war on terror.*

50 Posts to Independence - Post No. 49
I was tagged by Nizam Bashir, who invited me to be the first person after him to participate in "50 Posts To Independence", his blogging project in anticipation of Malaysia's 50th anniversary of independence next August. It sounds like an ambitious, and very exciting, project – I'm interested in finding out where it will go. The link contains more on the project, as well as tagging rules.
Nizam asked me to write about what makes Malaysia special to me.
". . . You will leave everything you love most:
this is the arrow that the bow of exile
shoots first. You will know how salty
another's bread tastes and how hard it
is to ascend and descend
another's stairs . . ."
Dante, Paradiso XVII: 55-60
What can I speak to you of but exile?
The years spent dancing alone in empty rooms.
The years of queuing in immigration, the breath-held tightrope walk of waiting for the validation of a rubber stamp. The years of being harassed at the airport, learning to bite back the spittle aimed at the officer who mocks an accent I don't even have. Fuck you, you dog. How many words has your language stolen out of mine?
The years of correcting every person, every person, who assumed I belonged to this nation. The years of correcting every person, every person, who assumed it belonged to me.
The years of displacement. The years of too many tears after too much carnatic music at 2a.m.
The years of being told that to be Indian is to wear coconut oil in the hair, interject every sentence with "aiaiyo!", be a wifebeater or a beaten wife. The years of watching Indians pretend to be anything but. The years, also, of having my fresh-off-the-boat-from-Yarlpanam Tamizh teased by those who didn't pretend.
The years of temples collapsing. The years of racist advertisements for jobs and housemates juxtaposed beside bullshit Petronas commercials. The years of attending classes with girls who couldn't even pronounce Bharatnatyam, let alone their own names. The years of watching Bollywood fashion glorified in the same breath as actually speaking in any desi language is mocked.
The years of rage.
The years of living out of boxes. The years of tallying up, over and over, the inventories of the heart. The years of abandonment. The years of fleeing.
The years of speaking to strangers just because of their accents. The years of smelling the pages of India-imported books – that smell so profane to everyone else.
The years of secret envy. The years of crazy half-wishing that was me on CNN, all lost, but still – so close to that earth. So close to that mannvasanai.
The years of accumulating a body memory of dispossession, having it slide in and coat every interior wall.
The years of knowing home is but a magpie's nest of memories; bricks of nostalgia, mortar of pining, windows and doors that searched outside even as they led within.
The years of being a stranger in my own land. The years of being a stranger in yours. The years of harbouring the knowledge that every chimera of my own countries are only balms for the wounds of my rejection by yours.
The years of privilege – the best cuisine in the world, the ability to walk down a street in jeans and not elicit one violation.
The years of invalidation.
The years of mapping a cartography of crevices, of fractures, this cracked and broken fugitive heart.
The years of loving this nation, longing for it. The years of an unrequited love so great it would not look me in the eye.
The years that should have been my childhood. The years that weren't. And all the years that were.
Selamat Hari Merdeka.
Nizam, thank you for thinking of me as your first tag. Perhaps my post hasn't done your vision justice. But then, each of the fifty posts will tell you something different. I am glad to be part of this project if only so that I can add my dua sen as someone who loves this country, however tumultuous and wretched that love (or, for that matter, that country) is.
I am now tagging KG, whose post should be up on or by Thursday October 5th, who in turn has already confirmed that he will tag Sharon, whose Bali trip probably won't let her meet the deadline if I tagged her. I look forward to reading other bloggers' responses and interpretations of what a Merdeka 50 tribute could mean.
Previous post on my exile.

Information is the fuel that powers the twenty-first-century economy, and for most businesses, mission-critical information is housed in applications. The problem is that those applications could be anywhere, in-house, in a private cloud, a public cloud or even in a mobile app. If workers can't efficiently access those applications, the value of the information within erodes. To connect workers with business-critical information, businesses have had two choices: deal with the congestion that plagues the public Internet, or invest in expensive WAN Optimization hardware. There was no middle ground. . .
. . . Until now. By turning WAN Optimization into a service, Aryaka has changed the game, helping businesses of all sizes unlock the true power of information. By moving this complicated technology to the cloud, Aryaka helps businesses avoid expensive hardware purchases and puts WAN Optimization within reach for businesses that didn't have the budget or know-how for complicated hardware fixes. Now, businesses of all sizes can deploy in minutes, scale up and down as needed, and never again paying for capacity they don't use.

Today's distributed enterprise struggles to keep up with challenges brought on by two trends: the rise of cloud computing and far-flung workers, who could be anywhere in the world. To provide reliable access to cloud networking resources and to help distributed workers stay productive, businesses must pay top dollar for private links to branch offices and overseas locations. The status quo solution, MPLS, is expensive. It's even more expensive when it's augmented with WAN Optimization hardware, which is needed to have high performance connections to the various links. Moreover, this patchwork solution is time-consuming to deploy, complicated to configure and expensive to manage and maintain.
In contrast, Aryaka's Network-as-a-Service™ combines enterprise-grade global connectivity with proprietary TCP optimization and QoS. Utilizing a dedicated reliable core network based on globally distributed POPs and centralized WAN visibility, this service delivers predictable, high-performing cloud network connections without the high cost and long deployment time required by MPLS.

Aryaka's Network OnDemand provides immediate access to private WAN connectivity and optimization, based on metered usage and pricing. The new provisioning option allows enterprises to scale their global presence and network usage without the traditional restrictions of MPLS or appliance-based networking and optimization solutions. The service offers metered usage and pricing for enterprise traffic. Rather than requiring a subscription to a fixed amount of bandwidth between enterprise locations, Network OnDemand is the first global solution to offer enterprise networks the cost-efficient ability to burst traffic using the 95th percentile billing metric widely used in the CDN, ADN and high speed Internet link markets.
Network OnDemand is the ideal solution to accommodating temporary spikes in traffic, large but infrequent file transfers, or data replication and disaster recovery traffic in a cost-efficient manner, without requiring a higher-priced fixed bandwidth subscription to handle traffic levels only rarely reached. It's also an ideal solution for customers looking to augment their on-premise deployment with IT services like compute and storage in the cloud. Network OnDemand allows them to keep the consumption model consistent across these cloud services with a cloud network.

While cloud services targeted to the enterprise like Office 365, Salesforce.com, Google Apps and AWS are global in their availability, individual enterprises are assigned one key data center, usually the one closest to headquarters. Employees at distributed offices must therefore traverse the public internet to access this data center, resulting in latency and congestion, especially during peak usage times.
Aryaka's Cloud Network as-a-Service, bypasses this process, enabling businesses to deliver fast, consistent, enterprise-wide access over a private network to cloud data and services in locations that were previously beleaguered by latency. The service is built on Aryaka's network of globally distributed Points of Presence (POPs), which sit close to business users and are connected with a dedicated private core network. You pay only for what you consume, and your business will enjoy LAN-like speeds when accessing cloud and SaaS applications from anywhere (and delivering them to anywhere) in the world.

We've already profiled one epic save from earlier tonight, but I think this one may have it beat in a battle of goalies from Quebec. Roberto Luongo, getting the start in Nashville, came up with an absolute desperation gem and left Colin Wilson in a rather grumpy mood for his effort.
In this clip, a jam play by David Legwand leads to a scramble in the slot with Nashville on the power play. With the clock showing 9:40 in the second during a 3-3 tie, this is a pretty big sequence. When a loose puck comes to Roman Josi at the top of the faceoff circle to Luongo's right, Josi makes the smart play and feed a wide open Colin Wilson – parked to Luongo's left in the opposing faceoff circle – with all four Canucks below the hashmarks.
The end result was a sublime save from Luongo.
This turned out to be a game changer as Luongo kept the game tied, it eventually went into overtime and then a shootout and then the Canucks won – in that order.
There's still nothing better than a game changing save for a professional hockey team.

In 1885 Chinese laborers were brought to North America to build the railroads. The triads came with them. Caught up in the clashes, Tiger Chang manages to send a letter home about an incredible discovery.
128 years later…
Phil Hardy just wants everyone to leave him alone. That way no one gets hurt. Running from his past, he thinks he has found the peace he's seeking on the cliffs looking out over the shores of Lake Superior.
Dragon Chang is following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather, in search of his discovery. The young triad leader will use all his available resources, including the killing skills he learned on the opium smuggling routes in China, to locate and secure his future.
Local police officer April Harrison has a handle on everything going on in her community, except her abusive ex-husband.
Everything goes sideways when she starts asking questions about who is hanging around the old ghost town of Jackfish and the past begins to catch up with the present in more ways than one.
What readers are saying:
Enjoy the Ride!
It is rare that you get a complete set of 3 dimensional characters from the leads to support, but that is exactly what you get with this book. I love a good adventure but this one surpassed any hope with the strong characters. On top of that the plot just keeps on giving. The book effortlessly shifts between current time and 1883 when the Chinese were building the railroad system in Canada. This is a don't put it down book!
Action Packed!
If I could write a book it would end up being exactly like this one. Jackfish Reborn is everything, and more, that I look for in a good adventure/action story. The story grabs you and pulls you in right from the start as you begin to dive into the past/present clash going on. The author has done a really good job describing the characters and making them believable which is a difficult task in this genre of book. Even the setting where the action sequences are taking place have enough body to them that you can almost imagine yourself there watching the drama unfold in person. Rejean Giguere has given us a very well written story that gives twists and turns as it roller-coasters it's way through your mind.

PUNE: Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday softened his stand towards NCP leader and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar by agreeing to consider the latter's demand for an underground metro in Pune.
Talking about the civic polls, Chavan said that the Congress party was open to the idea of a post-poll alliance with the NCP in the Pune Municipal Corporation if both the parties failed to get majority on their own.
The Delhi Metro Railway Corporation has given the feasibility and technical report on the metro, Chavan said. "They are the experts. But if you want an underground metro, you should keep in mind that it will cost three times more than the elevated one and ultimately will result in rise in train fares. If the PMC wants an underground metro, the government will mull over the proposal. The PMC will also have to contribute to the project," he said.
"The metro rail is a major project and I do not want to bring any politics in this," the chief minister added.
When asked about Ajit Pawar's insistence on underground metro after supporting the elevated one for all these years, Chavan said, "I don't think it is a personal demand. I have to check if it is. Generally, it is the public demand that the leaders voice. If the Pune people want underground metro, we have to consider their feelings. I want to take everyone along in the development of the city."
Chavan, however, could not provide any deadline for sanctioning the metro or the two other key proposals pertaining to the city, namely, the biodiversity park (BDP) and the Pune Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (PMRDA).
When asked by TOI to specify the deadlines for clearing the proposals pending with the state government, Chavan said that these issues warrant a greater debate and the government was seeking the opinion of experts.
The chief minister said that a final decision on the BDPs will be taken only after consulting the experts. "There are some difficulties in setting up the PMRDA but those will be sorted out soon," he added.
He admitted that in a coalition government, development projects often get delayed if the alliance partners are at loggerheads. "In such a scenario it is the job of the media to educate the warring partners on the need to come to conclusion to speed up the project," Chavan said.
Talking about the civic polls, Chavan said that the Congress and the NCP have tie-ups for six out of 10 municipal corporation elections. "We have joined hands to keep communal forces out of power. In Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad communal forces are not strong. Moreover, the local leaders wanted to contest without an alliance. If we do not muster enough majority, we will have an alliance with our like-minded partner."
Chavan, however, added that he will appeal to the voters "to give the Congress party a majority as fractured mandate proves to be a hurdle in executing mega infrastructure projects. Also, our party is in power in centre and state."
Commenting on Ajit Pawar's statement that he will bring more funds for the city's development as he holds the portfolio of the finance minister, Chavan said, "He knows that the decisions are taken by the cabinet and that I am the final authority to sign on any decision."
The BRTS project in Pune should continue as it is one of the best options to solve the problem of traffic congestion, he added.
When asked about MP Suresh Kalmadi's role in civic politics, Chavan said: "He is not in the party. But his status as the elected representative of the city remains. You (Pune) have elected him." He refused to elaborate.

Nice Seat Covers
Reviewed By Virginia I (VENTURA, CA) Reviewed for a 2004 Subaru Outback —1/13/2015 7:05 AM
The seat covers are good quality and not too difficult to install however the plastic "tool" (included for the purpose of aiding in pulling straps beneath the seat to secure) broke on first attempt to use so was essentially useless. I am disappointed that this is one more item made in China, and would not have purchased if this was reported in description. I would have paid more for USA product.

This engaging sculpture is a perfect epitome of the verse that inspired Delesprie. Caught in-flight, the loving couple depict a connectedness that goes beyond the corporal. The male has his face turned in the direction of their journey. His attitude and stance reflect understanding that he was created with strength to protect the weak, which he demonstrates by a protective arm encircling the waist of his beloved. She, with arms clasped over her heart, nestles her head against her mate secure in his loving embrace, yet respectful of the differences between them.
However, this is not a work that conveys a message of superior dominance and/or meek submission. As in any intimate relationship, it takes two joining together with one mind and purpose. Each brings unique qualities the other desperately needs. Delesprie explores that theme by sculpting each partner's wing proportionate to his or her physical and spiritual dimensions. The male's is larger and more visibly detailed, but he would remain unable to fly were it not for the wing of the female, even one more delicate in appearance and strength. Though her assistance is required to ensure forward movement, her wing gently caresses the leg of her companion in silent expression of her God-given command to respect and nurture her mate.
"Embracing Each Other" is mounted on a granite base and includes a plaque, cast with the referenced poem. –By Allison Garner
