Games That Make Players Act Like Psychopaths
Soulskill posted about 8 months ago | from the aka-every-game-on-xbox-live dept.
An article at Wired takes a look at two multiplayer survival games, DayZ and Rust, and at the behavior of players when their actions are freed from a civilized moral code. 'Violence wouldn't bother a psychopath, [Dr. Adam Perkins] says, but they might have another incentive to avoid violence: the consequences of getting caught. Most psychopaths are logical people, he says, and understand that actions bring consequences. The threat of repercussions — say, for example, prison — might keep them from acting out. Such disincentives do not exist in virtual worlds. Absent a sense of empathy, you're free to rob and kill at will. What we do with this reveals something about us.
Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test, says imagining ourselves doing something horrible is a way to see ourselves in a new light. "One of the ways we keep ourselves moral is to imagine the terrible things we could do, but then don't do," Ronson says. "You stand on a train platform and think, 'I could push that person in front of the train.' That thought pops into your head, and it doesn't make you a lunatic. It makes you a good person, because what you're actually saying is, 'Oh my god, I'm capable of doing a terrible thing, but I would never actually do it.'" ... But we're still left with the big question: Are our actions in a virtual world tantamount to imagining those things we could do in real life but never would? Or are we merely behaving as we would in real life if there were no consequences for our actions?'

I Got a New Puppy
Last week, my wife and I got a new puppy.
He's a chocolate lab, and we named him Eddie.
It's been almost a year since our dog Kobe passed away, and we decided it was now time to get another buddy for our other dog Zoe to play with.
We brought Eddie home last Thursday night, and it's been quite interesting getting back to a "we now have a puppy at home" routine all over again.
Luckily, raising Kobe and Zoe I learned a lot of little tricks to make the process of training a puppy much easier – especially when it comes to house training.
For anyone with a new puppy I definitely recommend getting proper advice from a trainer or a professional who knows what they are doing, and not listening to "common knowledge" you hear from people.
A lot of people out there have interesting opinions on how to train a dog, but very few actually know what they're talking about.
Another great resource is Caesar Milan. Drea and I have been a fan of his for a while now.
Here are some pictures of Eddie we took over the last few days:
3 Responses to I Got a New Puppy
Labs are the best! Our mixed black lab, Midnight, looks just like that picture of Zoe!
How wonderful <3

Each commune was organized into progressively larger units: production teams, production brigades, and the commune itself.

Familial transthyretin amyloidosis
Other Names for this Disease
- Amyloidosis Transthyretin related
- Amyloidosis, hereditary, transthyretin-related
- Familial amyloid polyneuropathy
- Transthyretin amyloid neuropathy
- Transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy
Related Diseases
How might familial transthyretin amyloidosis be treated?
What is familial transthyretin amyloidosis?
Familial transthyretin amyloidosis is a slowly progressive condition characterized by the buildup of abnormal deposits of a protein called amyloid (amyloidosis) in the body's organs and tissues. Amyloid deposits in the nerves of the peripheral nervous system result in a loss of sensation in the extremities (peripheral neuropathy). The autonomic nervous system (which controls involuntary body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion) as well as the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) may also be affected. Other areas of the body affected include the heart, kidneys, eyes, and gastrointestinal tract. The age at which symptoms develop varies widely among affected individuals, and may be between ages 20 and 70 years. Mutations in the TTR gene cause the condition. Although it is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, not all people who have a TTR gene mutation will develop familial transthyretin amyloidosis.[1]
There are three major forms of familial transthyretin amyloidosis, which are distinguished by their symptoms and the body systems they affect.[1] The neuropathic form of transthyretin amyloidosis primarily affects the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, resulting in peripheral neuropathy and difficulty controlling bodily functions. The leptomeningeal form of transthyretin amyloidosis primarily affects the central nervous system. The cardiac form of transthyretin amyloidosis affects the heart.[1] To read more about the different forms of familial transthyretin amyloidosis, click here.
How might familial transthyretin amyloidosis be treated?
- Complete neurologic assessment including baseline nerve conduction studies (which measure the speed at which nerves conduct impulses)
- Evaluation of the heart for cardiomyopathy and to evaluate amyloid deposition in the heart
- Gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the brain and spinal cord to evaluate central nervous system (CNS) amyloidosis
- Ophthalmologic (eye) evaluation
- Evaluation of renal function[2]
Treatment for familial amyloid polyneuropathy may include:
- Carpal tunnel release surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
- Vitrectomy for vitreous involvement[2]
In terms of preventing some signs and symptoms associated with the condition, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTX) is reportedly the only effective therapy for the neuropathy associated with familial transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis. This type of liver transplantation involves replacing the recipient liver with a donor liver. This procedure removes the main production site of the abnormal protein. Successful OLTX results in rapid disappearance of the harmful protein and thus stops the progression of neuropathy. It has been recommended that individuals with the condition considering OLTX be at an age younger than 60 years; have a disease duration less than five years; have either polyneuropathy that is restricted to the lower extremities (legs) or autonomic neuropathy alone; and have no significant cardiac (heart) or renal (kidney) dysfunction. OLTX is reportedly not effective in the non-neuropathic forms of familial transthyretin amyloidosis (i.e., cardiac amyloidosis, leptomeningeal amyloidosis, and familial oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis). Individuals with leptomeningeal involvement may not be candidates for liver transplantation.[2]

Many moons ago, I was living in Philly, working as a medical writer in South Jersey, and struggling to do anything remotely athletic. It wasn't for lack of desire. I longed to break free from my bucket seat, beige cube-farm existence to run. And to ride my bike, which had barely seen the light of day since I dropped off my college graduation gown. And maybe even race a little. I just couldn't find my game - or more specifically, anyone to play with.
My new friends and co-workers vastly preferred grabbing chips and margaritas at Copa Too on South Street over working up a sweat on the River Drives. So I competed in some half-hearted 5Ks; joined a gym and never went; and rode here and there on my own or with a friend when I could wrangle some company. But I never plugged in with the right crowd to keep me going when heat waves, crushing deadlines, congested traffic or cold snaps brought me down.
Fast forward a dozen years and just 60 odd miles north to my current happy home of Emmaus, Pennsylvania. Although my geography has changed little, my world couldn't be more different - or better - since moving here more than a decade ago. Most mornings I feel like the luckiest woman in America. Each workday at high noon, a crowd gathers by the loading docks outside the Bicycling offices and spins out for 16 to 20 some miles. Warm, sunny days bring out big numbers, obviously. But frogs would have to be falling from the sky at 45-degree angles for no one to show up.
On Saturdays, the same crew plus some convene at South Mountain Cycles & Coffee Bar for two to three hours of spirited, social riding through the hills and farms surrounding the Lehigh Valley. The group is fit, fun, and most importantly up for damn near anything. Even when I have the most ridiculous training day on tap - like a 3 hour ride followed by a 15 minute run when it's 18 degrees with a 15 mph wind and a wind chill of -1 - I can be sure to find a friend (or five!) to keep me good company.
That's exactly what happened this past Sunday. Coach Craig put an endurance ride on deck just when an arctic air mass had descended on the Valley. My butt couldn't bear the thought of a marathon roller session; my brain couldn't fathom bearing the elements alone. So, I sent out a single e-mail invite and was immediately greeted by an inbox full of affirmative replies. Sunday morning broke even colder than forecast. My friends remained remarkably undaunted. I pulled in to meet Mike and Erica, two elite racers who recently relocated here from Philly, at 8:30. The smell of bacon and omelets still lingered in their kitchen as they offered me a fresh cup of coffee while Mike cheerfully fashioned winter shoes out of some old wool socks, aluminum braces and Lord knows what else from his basement. Erica's brother Michael, in town for the weekend, was happily layering up in the living room. A little before 9, we rolled to the shop, where we met Chris and Keith, both fairly new on the race scene, but more than eager to play flahute, and Cush, a transplanted pro fresh off the plane from his forever home in the heart of warm, never-snowy Orange County, California.
We hunkered down and pedaled our mountain bikes the six-plus miles of exposed, open road to the trailhead as the wind pummeled us from every angle, then ducked into the woods to enjoy two hours of swoopy, snow kissed, perfectly grippy trails. It was a little harder than the "easy endurance ride" I had on tap. But my friends here are fast-national champ, stars and stripes wearing jackrabbits, and I can barely resist a chase.
As we stopped to coax a drink from our frozen water bottles, a friend of Mike's we picked up along the way struck up a conversation with Cush. Upon learning he'd just moved here in the dead of January from sunny SoCal, he asked the inevitable: "You like it here?" After a pause, Cush, who was changing shades from pink to red to blue, replied simply and diplomatically, "I don't know... It's pretty cold."
We rode on, warmed up for the most part, and braved the elements on the road home where hot chocolate and warm smiles awaited at South Mountain Cycles. Mike kept true to his word and joined me on my 15-minute transition run and I finished the day shaken, stirred and chilled like a good martini.
Later, as I reflected on the ride, I wondered what I would have said if someone asked me if I liked it here in the Valley as I shivered in my boots against a backdrop of dead leaves and gray, lifeless sky, which is beautiful in a Nietzsche kind of way...sometimes. I'd have said, "Yes. But not for the weather. The winter weather makes me want to crawl inside my bones and drink spiked cider until I pass out for eight weeks and awaken to the sunny skies of spring. But I like it here for the people. And how willing they are to brave any and all elements to come out and play."
I wouldn't be doing any of this without them.

An exclusive first look of the new Squeaky Bean, opening Monday
"The Bean is back."Lori Midson
That was the overriding footnote last night at the Squeaky Bean, the tongue-in-cheek restaurant that Bean king Johnny Ballen originally unleashed in Highland in May of 2009. And during the three years that the Squeaky Bean resided in Highland, it generated a cult following, thanks to a staff, led by Ballen, that made damn sure that you had a great time, and Max MacKissock, the executive chef of the Squeaky Bean, whose whimsical, astonishingly innovative cooking, echoed in seasonal dedication, is beyond reproach.
And the new Squeaky Bean, which opens Monday in the historic Saddlery building at 1500 Wynkoop Street following two nights of practice dinners and the weekend to recuperate, is everything (and more) that Ballen, MacKissock and the Bean team -- many of whom were staff at the original Bean, including the entire kitchen crew -- envisioned. "The Bean is three peas in a pod: pride personality and passion," says Ballen, "and while it took us a while to find the right space and to open, it gave us all time to sit down and really think about what we wanted to do, and we knew that we wanted it to have the seem feeling as the old Bean, and I think we've more than accomplished that."
The space, which exposes wooden floors and beams, a horseshoe-shaped bar, wooden tables and crescent-shaped booths, floor-to-ceiling windows and an exhibition kitchen with counter seating, is far larger than the old Bean, but the convivial vibrancy, the irreverent accents (like the nine-shooter retro autobar that Ballen picked for his host stand) and the same guts and glory have been preserved -- and, if anything, surpassed. "I think people will like this Bean better than the first one," predicts Ballen. "There are so many things that we couldn't do at the old Bean -- we weren't even set up to scramble eggs -- and now we can do just about everything," he adds, including accommodating larger parties and giving guests a place to hang if there's a wait list.
He notes, too, that there's no artwork mounted to the walls, a conscientious decision that was made so that guests would focus on the food in front of them. "The artwork is on the plate," points out Ballen, referring to the strikingly composed dishes that emerge from MacKissock's kitchen.

The Battle on the Ice (Russian: Ледовое побоище, Ledovoye poboish'ye; German: Schlacht auf dem Eise; Estonian: Jäälahing; Latvian: Ledus kauja), also known as the Battle of Lake Peipus (German: Schlacht auf dem Peipussee; Russian: битва на Чудском озере, bitva na Chudskom ozere), was a battle between the Republic of Novgorod and the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights (whose army consisted mostly of Estonians) on April 5, 1242, at Lake Peipus. The battle is notable for having been fought largely on the frozen lake.
The battle was a significant defeat sustained by Roman Catholic crusaders during the Northern Crusades, which were directed against pagans and Eastern Orthodox Christians rather than Muslims in the Holy Land. The crusaders' defeat in the battle marked the end of their campaigns against the Orthodox Novgorod Republic and other Russian territories for the next century.
Hoping to exploit Novgorod's weakness in the wake of the Mongol and Swedish invasions, the Teutonic Knights attacked the neighboring Novgorod Republic and occupied Pskov, Izborsk, and Koporye in the autumn of 1240. When they approached Novgorod itself, the local citizens recalled to the city 20-year-old Prince Alexander Nevsky, whom they had banished to Pereslavl earlier that year. During the campaign of 1241, Alexander managed to retake Pskov and Koporye from the crusaders.
Details of the battle[edit]
In the spring of 1242, the Teutonic Knights defeated a detachment of Novgorodians about 20 km south of the fortress of Dorpat (Tartu). Led by Prince-Bishop Hermann of Dorpat, the knights and their auxiliary troops of local Ugaunian Estonians then met with Alexander's forces by the narrow strait that connects the northern and southern parts of Lake Peipus (Lake Peipus proper with Lake Pskovskoe) on April 5, 1242. Alexander, intending to fight in a place of his own choosing, retreated in an attempt to draw the often over-confident Crusaders onto the frozen lake.
The crusader forces likely numbered around 2,000.[1] Most of them were probably Estonians (known as Chudes to Novgorodians at the time). The Russians fielded around 5,000 men: Alexander and his brother Andrei's bodyguards (druzhina), totalling around 1,000, plus the militia of Novgorod.
According to contemporary Russian chronicles, after hours of hand-to-hand fighting, Alexander ordered the left and right wings of his archers to enter the battle. The knights by that time were exhausted from the constant struggle on the slippery surface of the frozen lake. The Crusaders started to retreat in disarray deeper onto the ice, and the appearance of the fresh Russian cavalry made them run for their lives. When the knights attempted to rally at the far side of the lake, the thin ice began to give way under the weight of their heavy armour, and many knights drowned.
In 1983, a revisionist view proposed by historian John I. L. Fennell argues that the battle was not as important, nor as large, as has sometimes been portrayed. Fennell claimed that most of the Teutonic Knights were by that time engaged elsewhere in the Baltic. He also states that the apparently low casualties suffered by the knights according to their own sources is indicative of the small magnitude of the encounter.[2]
Russian historian Alexander Uzhankov, who cited a number of authors and primary sources, suggested that Fennell distorted the picture by ignoring many historical facts and documents. In order to stress the importance of the battle, he cites two papal bulls of Gregory IX, promulgated in 1233 and 1237, which called for a crusade to protect Christianity in Finland against her neighbours. The first bull explicitly mentions Russia. The kingdoms of Sweden, Denmark and the Teutonic Order built up an alliance in June 1238, under the auspices of Danish king Valdemar II. They assembled the larger western cavalry force of their time. Another point mentioned by Uzhankov is the 1243 treaty between Novgorod and the Teutonic Order, where the knights abandoned all claims to Russian lands. Uzhankov also emphasizes, with respect to the scale of battle, that for each knight deployed on the field there were eight to 30 combatants, counting squires, archers and servants.[3]
According to the Novgorod First Chronicle,
Prince Alexander and all the men of Novgorod drew up their forces by the lake, at Uzmen, by the Raven's Rock; and the Germans and the Estonians rode at them, driving themselves like a wedge through their army. And there was a great slaughter of Germans and Estonians... they fought with them during the pursuit on the ice seven versts short of the Subol [north-western] shore. And there fell a countless number of Estonians, and 400 of the Germans, and they took fifty with their hands and they took them to Novgorod.[4]
According to the Livonian Order's Livonian Rhymed Chronicle, written in the late 1340s,
The [Russians] had many archers, and the battle began with their bold assault on the king's men [Danes]. The brothers' banners were soon flying in the midst of the archers, and swords were heard cutting helmets apart. Many from both sides fell dead on the grass. Then the Brothers' army was completely surrounded, for the Russians had so many troops that there were easily sixty men for every one German knight. The Brothers fought well enough, but they were nonetheless cut down. Some of those from Dorpat escaped from the battle, and it was their salvation that they fled. Twenty brothers lay dead and six were captured.[5]
The legacy of the battle, and its decisiveness, lies in the fact that it halted the eastward expansion of the Teutonic Order[6] and established a permanent border line through the Narva River and Lake Peipus dividing Eastern Orthodoxy from Western Catholicism.[7] The knights' defeat at the hands of Alexander's forces prevented the crusaders from retaking Pskov, the linchpin of their eastern crusade. The Novgorodians succeeded in defending Russian territory, and the German crusaders never mounted another serious challenge eastward. Alexander was canonised as a saint in the Russian Orthodox Church in 1574.
Popular culture[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (April 2013) |
The event was glorified in Sergei Eisenstein's nationalistic historical drama film Alexander Nevsky, released in 1938. The movie, bearing propagandist allegories of the Teutonic Knights as Nazi Germans, with the Teutonic infantry wearing modified World War I German Stahlhelm helmets, has created a popular image of the battle often mistaken for the real events. Sergei Prokofiev turned his score for the film into a concert cantata of the same title, the longest movement of which is "The Battle on the Ice".
During World War II, the image of Alexander Nevsky became a national Russian symbol of the struggle against German occupation. Today, Russia has an Order of St. Alexander Nevsky, a medal given for outstanding bravery and excellent service to the country.
Heavy metal band Aria composed a song, "Ballad of an Ancient Russian Warrior", for their Hero of Asphalt album in 1987. The song describes the battle from a participant's point of view.
In a 2009 Russian-Canadian-Japanese WWII-related anime, First Squad, the Battle on the Ice plays a vital part in the plot.
"Katabasis", the fourth volume of the Mongoliad Cycle of novels, by Joseph Brassey, Cooper Moo, et al., climaxes with the Battle of the Ice.
Rurik, a vampire character in "The Cowboy and the Vampire Collection," was a young Russian military strategist in the Battle of the Ice. His military prowess in this decisive battle singled him out for turning.

Solid Surface Countertops vs. Composite Countertops
Today homeowners have a tremendous variety of choices in kitchen countertops, whether planning a new kitchen or remodeling an existing one. A pair of new choices have entered the countertop arena, vying to claim the top spot on kitchen counters like yours: solid surface countertops and composite countertops. Both materials are used most often as an alternative to stone, but the two have some significant differences. Here are basics to keep in mind when considering solid surface and composite countertops for your kitchen.
Solid surface countertops are an acrylic-based material made from minerals, resins and pigments. Versatile and elegant, solid surface is available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Today's solid surface can mimic granite, quartz, concrete and glass, or it can be bold and daring, incorporating reflective metallic colors enhanced with gold or silver chips.
Solid surface countertops containing 15 percent recycled material are available, making them eco friendly. Simple to install, the material is durable, non-porous, resists stains, heat, mold and mildew, and easy to maintain.
Offering an alternative kitchen countertop solution, composite kitchen countertops, popular in commercial kitchens, are finding their way into more home kitchens for the same reasons professionals choose them: composite countertops are virtually impervious to damage from scratches, stains and heat, easy to clean, and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Composite countertops are available in a wide variety of solid colors, so they can fit the color scheme of any kitchen, and with sizes up to 12 feet in length and five feet wide, most installations can be seamless.
Composite countertops are among the most eco-friendly countertop solutions available, composed of recycled materials – usually paper or wood pulp – and water-based resin. Most composites are free of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) including formaldehyde.
The bottom line: solid surface and composite materials have what it takes to top any kitchen counter with style, beauty and functionality. To help decide which is best for your kitchen, visit a leading kitchen design showroom in your area, and let the professionals take you beyond the surface of this hard countertop decision.

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 Peaches!
Facts about Peaches
- Breed: Greyhound
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Peaches's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Peaches is a small, red female, with delicate features. I enjoy meeting and greeting the volunteers at the kennel, and look forward to finding a family all my own. I nuzzled noses this morning with a volunteer.
Peaches has been around our other greyhound and gets along very well with him. She has also been around our two cats. She normally ignores them, but occasionally barks at one of the cats. Great around our kids.
Peaches can be a little shy around people, but not afraid or withdrawn. She may be more confident with another dog or people who are around more than gone as she will sometimes whine if she is left alone in a room., so may have a little separation anxiety. Peaches does not have any issues with being crated as she is crated at night and when we go away for a couple of hours.
Peaches rides well in the cars and walks well on a leash. She can be groomed without any problems. Overall, she is a couch potato, but has moments of playfulness.
Peaches is a very sweet dog, who is very affectionate and loves to be rubbed and scratched. She will do best in a family that can give her lots of love and affection.
Other Pets at Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peaches, a Tucson Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound for sale in Tucson, or seeking a Greyhound dog from a breeder in Tucson.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tucson 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 Tucson 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 Greyhound breeders who help with Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tucson paves the way for another one to be saved.

I happened upon a blog by a Canadian Mennonite woman who is has celiac. She has several recipes posted there for gluten-free breads and other baked goods that sound pretty good. It looks like she uses white bean flour instead of wheat flour. I'm not affiliated with this person in any way. |

THANK YOU for that link! I grew up in Mennonite areas of Ontario and miss the traditonal baking we would buy (or I would make from recipes passed along) because I am celiac now. I make bread in my breadmaker, but there are several wonderful books on making breads for celiacs. You can get sourdough starter (gluten free variety) and make sourdough, and other types. My favorites come from: http://glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-am-stubborn-i-dont-give-up.html |
Here is my favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies..... ~2 cups peanut butter ~Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets. For this recipe, I've found that natural peanut butters (the kind you have to stir together) do not work well. I also like to vary it by adding different kinds of chips. Chocolate, peanut butter and white chocolate are all good. I also don't usually bother to flatten them with a fork and they still come out fine. |
I'm wondering if anyone has tried these Peanut Butter Cookies? 2 cups sugar seems to be a bit much. I might add 1 - 1 1/2 cups. Too much sugar isn't good for you either. I'm learning the cancer feeds on sugar. |

I love King Arthur Flour's recipes. They have a gluten free recipe section. It's usually the gluten that causes the wheat allergy. Try looking here. |

PERCY HASLAM (d.1987)
by John Maynard
Percy Haslum's grandfather, Benjamin Haslam, came to Newcastle as a boy in 1852, where an uncle, Jos Hasslame (he misspelled his name to disguise his links with Chartists back in England) was at Derri-gaba (now Wickham) with Farnham's in the 1830s. Benjamin Haslam joined the railway c1870 and was the second night officer appointed to Newcastle Railway Station. He was later the first station master appointed at Glen Innes and died there as a young man.
Following in the footsteps of his mother's father, Thomas Denny, who had worked with the Newcastle Morning Herald for over 50 years from the 1880s, Percy Haslam joined the Newcastle Herald in 1933, writing a weekly column on friendly societies, featuring historical material. He became the Newcastle Herald's industrial and political roundsman and was later an associate editor. Haslam was also official historian for the now defunct Newcastle Friendly Societies Association, the only person to undertake friendly society research in the region, and was published extensively in lodge magazines.
Percy Haslam's association and interest with Aboriginal people, culture and history stretches back to the first decades of the twentieth century, on visits to Lake Macquarie, Toronto and Belmont. His "first teachers were people of tribal tradition" like Berntee, Gommera and Yee-oekarlah, whom he accompanied on bush trips south of Swansea, Cooranbong, Martinsville and Mandalong. He was taught the language, and claimed to have been put through Awabakal "ceremonies when he was about twelve years of age and given the name Pip-peeta (little Hawk)". The knowledge and bush hunting skills learned from his Aboriginal teachers proved invaluable during the years of the depression, when he supplemented his family's food supplies with "a lot of duck".
Percy's interest in Aboriginal culture and history never waned. He read and travelled widely throughout the district in search of stories and mementos, acknowledging the gifts of "people who were so kind and painstaking to teach… what they believed to be true from personal experience and oral tradition". In about 1960 he was approached by the late Mr. D. R. Blakemore, then President of the Lake Macquarie Historical Society, to assist him in a research project concerning the Awabakal tribe, using the writings of missionary Reverend L. E Threlkeld. Mr. Blakemore was the first principle of Booragul High School and was a scholar in languages. It was the intention that Blakemore would conduct the language research whilst Percy Haslam was to deal with the cultural and historical content of the study. They began by interviewing old residents aged 90 to 100, particularly in the Swansea, Martinsville and Cooranbong areas, where the last pockets of tribal Awabakal people had survived. They spoke to elderly people who as children either spoke Awabakal or heard it spoken. They ascertained that from the 1870s to 1880s Awabakal was freely spoken by white people as well in Swansea, Pelican and possibly Belmont South. They spent years checking and rechecking the language and traditional stories and other information handed down from generation to generation. Haslam continued the project after Blakemore's sudden death in the early 1970s. For the next seventeen years he continued his personal quest in search of knowledge of the local Awabakal people. On his retirement from the Newcastle Morning Herald in 1977 he was elected as Convocation Research Fellow at the University of Newcastle to study the local Awabakal language and culture. In 1981 he left Newcastle for a brief visit to the United Kingdom primarily to research manuscripts relating to primary settlement in the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens. He visited Cambridge University in the company of Professor R.G Tanner, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, University of Newcastle, who introduced him. Professor Tanner was a Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. Haslam also visited London for further examination of archives particularly at London Museum and the Congregation World Church Council because of the records held there of early missionary efforts in New South Wales. He was particularly interested in discovering new material relating to the Lake Macquarie missionary, Reverend L.E Threlkeld, whose "work on language and culture in our region are as good as any ever recorded, having regard for the times in which he lived and limited facilities available to record history". On his return to Australia, the Institute of Aboriginal Development, headquartered in the Northern Territory, invited Haslum to join a steering committee to form the first Aboriginal Languages Association and to address a workshop at Alice Springs. He was appointed official historian for the Central Aboriginal Sites Committee covering the area from the Hawksbury to the upper Hunter and Taree.
In 1984 Percy Haslam received and honorary degree of Masters of Arts at the University of Newcastle. He was instrumental and a driving force behind an Awabakal language project, which began at Gateshead High School in 1986. The University of Newcastle supported the project, which sought to restore the Awabakal mother tongue to persons of Aboriginal descent residing in the Hunter. A link to this project was a weekly program of language lessons conducted by Percy Haslam on radio station 2NUR called 'Awabakal Voices'. Haslam said "It would be wonderful if by 1988 we could return to Aborigines something European society took away from them, this was a vital facet of their identity their mother tongue". Percy Haslam took his language and cultural teaching programs to Aboriginal inmates at Cessnock. One Aboriginal man at Cessnock related that it gave him a sense of pride and understanding he had not had before, "the things I am learning here will mean that I won't be back". As a result of the project at Cessnock he was approached by the Aborigines Prisoners Progressive Committee at Long Bay to visit them and conduct monthly visits to conduct Aboriginal history, language and cultural lectures. Percy Haslam died suddenly aged 75 in 1987 and remains as a great loss to the local Aboriginal community.

Robert Crais: Demolition Angel (USA 2001) From the Publisher: "CRAIS IS AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME, and Demolition Angel delivers the goods. With a bang... It's Silence of the Lambs meets Speed as down-on-her-luck former bomb-squad ace Carol Starkey plays cat-and-mouse with a serial bomber... Crais knows how to press all the right buttons in keeping the story line taut and the action, well, explosive." Robert Crais: Demolition Angel. Fawcett Books, ISBN: 034543448X (July, 2001), 384 p., $6.99. |
Robert Crais: Demolition Angel (UK 2001) From the Publisher: Starkey died for two minutes and forty seconds after being blown up by one of his bombs, and Fowles dearly wants her dead again. As the FBI attempt to find the link behind a series of bomb explosions that have been designed to kill their technicians, Special Agent Ben Williams stumbles on the bomber's secret: his desire to kill Starkey. If Williams can keep this from Starkey he can set a trap and catch the bomber. A trap that uses Carol Starkey as bait. Robert Crais: Demolition Angel. Orion Books, ISBN: 0752842935 (February, 2001), 384 p., £5.99. |
Robert Crais: Demolition Angel (UK 2000) From the Publisher: Robert Crais: Demolition Angel. Orion Books, ISBN: 0752832174 (June, 2000), 386 p., £12.99. |
Robert Crais: Demolition Angel (USA 2000) From the Publisher: Carol Starkey is struggling to pick up the pieces of her former life as L.A.'s finest bomb squad technician. Fueled with liberal doses of alcohol and Tagamet, she's doing time as a Detective-2 with LAPD's Criminal Conspiracy Section. Three years have passed since the event that haunts her--a detonation that killed her partner and lover, David "Sugar" Boudreaux. Fragments from the same explosion sliced through Starkey's protective Kevlar, scarred her beyond repair, and left her outside looking in at the life she left behind. Now she can't bear her reflection in the mirror, and hasn't been with another man since Sugar left her bed the morning they rolled out to the bomb site. When a seemingly innocuous bomb call turns into a devastating murder scene, Carol catches the case and embarks on an investigation of a series of explosions that reveal intentions far more disturbing than one-shot acts of anarchy. The bombs are designed expressly to kill bomb technicians, and as the one tech who survived the deadliest of blasts, Carol is in for the most intense fight of her life. Against the dazzling and lonely backdrop of contemporary Los Angeles, Robert Crais has crafted a work of ingenious depth of character, matched with a transcendent narrative velocity. Demolition Angel is sure to take its place among the finest thrillers of the modern age. Robert Crais: Demolition Angel. A Novel. Doubleday, ISBN: 0385495846 (May, 2000), 382 p., $24.95. |

TUCSON -Border Patrol agents found over half a ton of marijuana loaded into an abandoned truck in the Vekol Valley area west of Casa Grande yesterday.
Agents discovered the abandoned Chevy Tahoe near Interstate 8 Monday while conducting joint operations with U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers, according to a news release from Customs and Border Protection. The truck was filled with 1,097 pounds of marijuana, worth an estimated $548,500. Agents and officers search the area for suspects, but no arrests were made.
The marijuana was turned over to the DEA, and the vehicle, which was reported stolen out of Phoenix, was turned over to the Department of Public Safety.
"Through targeted enforcement and multi-agency cooperation, Tucson Sector Border Patrol continues to make significant progress in denying criminal organizations the opportunity to operate along the Sonora/Arizona border," CBP officials stated in the release.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Snowboard Pants in stock than that.

This winter, save the tight denim for the scenesters and rock a more snow-appropriate hipster look with the Nomis Slim Pant, which combines a—wait for it—slim fit with actual winter things like 10K waterproofing and a DWR coating.

Zippered hem gussets let you loosen things up around the ankles, and boot gaiters seal out snow if you find some secret pow stashes.

Inspired by ice-cream-fueled summers on Cape Cod, hip coastal surfers, signature family recipes, and the concentrated flavors of 100% organic ingredients, Ann Ryan, and her daughter Beth Stockwell have created what many are touting as the perfect ice cream sandwich. Made in small batches, with locally–sourced, sustainable, and organic ingredients, it's an homage to the classic, albeit with a uniquely flavored spin. You know, like a movie remake with better casting.
Established in Malibu 2009, Beachy Cream began by selling to local markets and restaurants, and expanded to a full-service ice cream store in Santa Monica in 2012.
Beachy Cream is also sweetening up local parties and events with a mobile cart and famous Beachy Cream Girls. Their Key Lime Cowabunga, Strawberry Surfer Girl, or signature Ginger Wipe Out will transform your ice-cream-sandwich-eating-experience into a flavor-fueled extravaganza. It's no wonder we're asking for seconds and thirds.
Beachy Cream is a sweet treat that you can feel good about eating. We use all-organic ingredients not only because they taste better and are better for us, but because we believe in supporting organic farmers who make the world a better (and cleaner) place. There are no GMOs, hormones or antibiotics in any of our products. Our dairy comes from the happy cows of Straus Family Creamery, and we source many of our fresh ingredients (mint, ginger, pistachios, strawberries, etc.) from local farmers markets.
We are proud to be "Green Business Certified".
Ann and Beth both have a lifelong love of the beach and community so supporting local organizations such as Heal the Bay, Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, Surf Aid, Santa Monica Schools, the Boys and Girls Clubs, and other community events is an ongoing mission through direct donations and sponsorship.

Fieldrunners 2 from Subatomic Studios is the sequel to one of the most popular mobile tower defense games out there. If you loved the look and feel of the first game, you're in luck. Fieldrunners 2 turns the charm up a notch and ushers in a host of new content. But if you had your fill of the original or tower defense games in general, I wouldn't say there is enough here to bring you back into the genre.
If cartoony tower defense is your thing and you haven't yet bought into the Fieldrunners franchise, you're missing out on some of the best TD action you can get your hands on. Colorful, fun, and graphically pleasing, Fieldrunners is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise tired gaming genre. And today, the sequel hit the Play Store.
Fieldrunners 2 brings even more guns, bombs, lasers, and other deadly tools to the scene, while still keeping that same familiar look and feel that made the original such a fantastic game.
