One more post from the MSM that thinks the West ends at Calgary -- yet here we are - an entire island (the size of Britain) with a population 3 times that of PEI but every writer characterises the West as if there was nothing beyond the Granite Curtain.

Mallick: Nexen deal proves Harper is China's plaything
Have we reached the turning point, or just discovered another twist in the bottom line?
by Maggie Paquet
On June 10, 1998, one of Canada's largest logging companies announced it will embark on a forest stewardship strategy focusing on old-growth and habitat conservation. Company president Tom Stephens said, "For MacMillan Bloedel (MB), today marks the beginning of the end of clearcutting and a recognition of non-timber values in our old-growth forests." Error!

Canadian federal scientists say the common additive to industrial and household detergents and sprays seems to be related to the troubles of East Coast salmon stocks. The question is, where else are these chemicals causing problems?
by Miranda Holmes
Recent Department of Fisheries and Oceans research suggests that nonylphenols (one of the breakdown products of the family of chemicals known as alkylphenol ethoxylates or APEs) may be playing a role in the failure of salmon stocks to return to many of Canada's East Coast rivers.
The Harris government's Lands for Life program is more trick than treat.
by Mike Buckthought
The day before Halloween, the Harris government's Lands for Life program released its final report. More trick than treat, the report is a scary and often contradictory document that recommends opening up Ontario's forests to intensified logging, mining, and hunting. It rolls back environmental safeguards and does little to advance the cause of aboriginal rights.
by Alice Chambers
Perched on the banks of the Winnipeg River, immediately upstream of Sakgeeng First Nation Reserve in Manitoba, the Pine Falls mill is the oldest pulp mill on the prairies and it shows. The mill opened in 1927 and since that time there have been concerns over resource use, corporate behaviour, regulation and enforcement. This article briefly outlines the resource use and corporate behaviour issues and looks in some detail at the regulatory and enforcement situations.
A volatile political climate makes fisheries forecasts jiggery-pokery.
by J. Cates
It's always difficult to predict where the fish will be found on the west coast, especially when forecasts have to be made in an atmosphere where there's always the potential for a new outbreak of political posturing between Canada and the US. The word from Fisheries Minister David Anderson is that harvesting of Pacific salmon in 1999 is likely to take place in all sectors: First Nations, commercial, and sports.
We all love to walk on the wild side, but boardwalks and parking are no way to save a fragment of wild beach dune for the creatures of PEI.
by Sharon Labchuk
When the dunes at Greenwich, PEI were declared a national park last year, most people figured this relatively unspoiled natural area would finally be safe from developers. They were forgetting one thing though - politicians. Lawrence MacAulay, Canada's solicitor general and Liberal MP for the Greenwich area, has re-election on his mind. He's not going to let rare plants or the endangered piping plover get in his way.
Corporations want to divert Canada's rivers south to irrigate a few years of profits.
by Don Malcolm
By 2025 the earth's population will have increased by an additional two billion people. What we do in the next twenty-five years will determine whether we are moving toward civilization or chaos. The first three decades of the 21st century will bring change difficult to imagine by many from to-day's perspective.

I started my first wine a couple weeks ago (apfelwein) And I used the exact recipe from edworts thread.I have been reading alot and have been hearing you shouldNt have any extra headspace in the carboy. I didn't know this at first and bought a six gallon carboy and have five gallongs going in it is thAt going to be ok? I also bought a six and a half gallon wine making kit from amazon will I be able to use these bottles longterm or should I Get some smaller five gallOn ones?
Headspace is only really an issue when aging things. During primary fermentation you will actually want some headspace just in case it foams up on you. Anything that requires secondary fermentation / aging you generally want to minimize headspace to prevent oxidation. A lot of people will have multiple sizes of carboys on hand so they can gradually move it into a smaller vessel from racking to racking. For example my primary fermentation vessel is a 10 gallon plastic bucket with loose fitting lid which gives me a lot of flexibility in the size of the batch i can use it for. Then i have a couple 6.5 gal carboys and several 5 gal that i use for aging / secondary fermentation. Anything that doesn't fit in the 6.5 or 5 gal carboys i put into 1 gal growlers for topping up. ETA: the short answer is it'll be fine.
I started my apfelwein yesterday, a five gallon batch in a five gallon carboy, with about five inches of airspace, and already it is bubbling over. I am going to have to do what you did, and move it to a six gallon to prevent having a huge mess in my kitchen. however, after much of the fermentation is over (at least the rapid part anyway) ill move it back to the five gallon. too much airspace makes your wine susceptible to oxidation and other nasty things. its better to just invest in one or two five gallon ones, especially if your going to keep making more.
ferment primary in a bucket or use a blowoff valve in a carboy

Hey all. I have been quietly planning a big road watch party for this Sunday's game at Indianapolis. It's a huge game for the Chiefs and I think Kansas City will be out in force at bars and restaurants to watch this one on Sunday afternoon.
I'm extending an invitation to all Chiefs Command writers and readers to join me at the Brooksider (Meyer Road and Brookside Plaza) on Sunday starting at 10:30 a.m. for Kegs 'n Eggs followed by some refreshments of the adult variety and what I'm hoping to be an awesome afternoon of Chiefs football.
Comment below and let us know what your plans are for Sunday's game. Also, if you're reading this in Columbia, Lawrence or Manhattan, tell us what the best places are to watch Chiefs games in your respective college town.
Hope to see you all there!

Last week, we presented our brand new SS14 collection in Singapore, during FIDEFW at Marina Bay Sands. Entitled "Flower Boys In Paradise", the kaleidoscopic catwalk presentation finds its inspiration in Arcadian utopias ruled by the androgynous and techno-futuristic. For the first time, we are presenting an "epicene" collection, reflecting on gender-normative tensions in design and style.
The collection seeks to explore the parameters of an a-sexual paradise which seamlessly mixed old and new, past and present. The past becomes an Eden and the future is an utopia. The silhouettes ignore gender polarities and interweave fantasy and reality. Florals and classic Visetos motifs rejuvenate the spirit of MCM in a new rite of Spring.
The "Flower Boys in Paradise" collection also unveils shapes and materials ranging from printed and embossed leathers to classic Visetos, all in carnival hues of paradise green, poppy red juxtaposed with dampened pastels and metallics.

Are you looking to steal your valentine's heart on Friday — maybe with a fancy dinner or flowers? While you spend your time and money wooing your loved ones, beware of those looking to steal your dentity, your money, or your data.
Don't let the romance of Valentine's Day blind you. Scammers are out there specifically targeting us at this holiday when they say we are thinking more with our hearts than our heads.
They may be charming but they are romance scams, targeting us on our computers, for our money and in our online accounts.
AARP's blog put together some of the biggest scams making the rounds this Valentine's Day.
Be extra careful of scammers trolling online dating sites. They may try to pull you into what's called a "long-con" scam, which is usually part of an organized crime ring. The criminals create fake identities, lure you in, and then after a relationship is formed, then they ask you for a money transfer.
Lookout for e-cards. scammers send these cute electronic cards, then infect your computer with malware. They could gain remote access to your files and even your online accounts.
Sales. Look out for spam that is related to sales that are Valentine's Day themed. links in those offers can also infect your computer, as well with malware. The rule of thumb should be to be cautious unless it's a company that you've purchased something from in the past.
And searches. Scammers know you will log on and type into a search engine, like Google, your great gift idea for your valentine. So they set up bogus websites selling counterfeit goods. Mainly to get your credit card information.
And lastly, is be cautious of what your friends send you over social media. A lot of those Valentine's Day apps and messages often just link you to another page, sometimes they are called survey websites where they will just try to collect your personal information.

Award-winning global forum Idea Trade Network (ITN) is an award-winning world-ren-USowned forum that allows companies and individuals to licen-USse, buy or sell ideas, new inven-UStions as well as paten-USts and trademarks. A division of GCCI and a pioneering industry leader, Idea Trade Network's mission is to link the ingen-USuity of innovators with investors, manufacturers as well as idea commercialization firms who have the expertise and resources to market new ideas at the worldwide level.

Curren-UStly, intellectual properties worth over $1.2 billion are for sale on Idea Trade Network.
Before joining ITN Before joining ITN, please review the main sections of the website to learn more about how this network operates. One of the main features of the automated network is that it allows you to post as many listings as you want. You can keep your listings as long as it takes to sell your ideas, inven-UStions and paten-USts. After you have reviewed all the information on the website very carefully including the Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation and A+ rating (click the BBB Seal on the left column), if you are completely satisfied, you are welcome to join this world-ren-USowned network. Please do not register: if you are not satisfied with the information presen-USted on this website; if you are not competen-USt in using an automated website; if you are not comfortable posting your unpaten-USted inven-UStion ideas; if you are not comfortable paying the one-time non-refundable fee for a life-time membership account.
Life-time membership for a small one-time fee There is no expiration date for your membership. No ren-USewal fee. No fee or commission on the sale of your inven-UStion. No gimmicks. No catch. Only a small one-time non-refundable fee. This one-time fee guarantees you a life-time membership. For innovators in developed countries, the fee is $99.95. For innovators in developing countries, the fee is $9.95. To be considered for the discount, you must reside in a developing country, and indicate in your application what your monthly income is.

With a small one-time nominal fee that is charged for a life-time membership, we cannot afford to provide one-on-one telephone assistance for such a large number of users. However, we do provide email support. The one-time minimal fee covers the costs of operating this worldwide network, and it also keeps the "frauds" and "jealous competitors" away. This processing fee is minimal compared to hundreds or thousands of dollars per year charged by other online or offline networks and marketers.

Learn about inven-UStion scams There are many fast-talking inven-UStion marketing firms that prey on the hopes of inven-UStors, make big promises, and charge thousands of dollars with a promise to evaluate, develop, paten-USt and market their inven-UStions, and then-US only sen-USd out unsolicited mailers to a random list of manufacturers that are never open-USed. These fraudulen-USt inven-UStion marketing companies give the honest ones a very bad name. The way they work is by offering the inven-UStor a marketability analysis that touts of high returns if only the inven-UStor moves to the next step which costs upwards of $6,000-$18,000. It is very sad to hear of the good-inten-UStioned inven-UStors who were ripped-off by these companies.

The recent gas explosion in California is prompting the Obama administration to seek stricter oversight of the nation's pipelines.
The U.S. Department of Transportation introduced legislation on Wednesday that would strengthen penalties for pipeline safety violations.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said his department "needs stronger authority to ensure the continued safety and reliability of our nation's pipeline network."
The legislation will also tighten oversight by adding 40 new inspectors and enforcement officers.
Some of the penalties pipelines face for violations could be more than doubled.
This follows last week's gas explosion near San Francisco that killed four people and destroyed dozens of homes.

I need some rubber stamps for use in the elementary classroom. I'm looking for animal stamps, about 1-1/2" across. We're learning about carnivores and herbivores, so maybe I'm looking for something like lions, tigers and cows and deer, etc.
I have not found a local store (except Michaels which looks somewhat picked over) so I was wondering if anyone here could direct me to a dependable online source. Many thanks. Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
One thing, there is a company called Stamp' UP similar to scrapbook parties. Go on line if you do not have a consultant in your area. They have a large variety of stamps and they are not cheap, but good quality. Also Close to My Heart which is scrap booking but has an excellent selection of clear plastic stamps. Both can be bought on line. Do you have a large Walmart or Hobby Lobby? |
LOts of different stamps come up for sale on "Shopgoodwill" and sell quite cheap. Check them out under crafts and Hobbies. Good Luck |

You may find some at the dollar stores. I have found various stamps at Dollar Tree. Look in the area that has stickers, marking pens, etc. Jo-Ann Fabric store usually has some animal stamps also. |
Also check Office Max, Walmart, and even places like Ace Hardware in the craft selection. Current magazine, Craft and Things etc --check the craft magazines in the store. QVC has some good deals too. |
I got lucky today and all the rubber stamps & ink were 40% off today at Hobby Lobby! |

In "Creating Home," a Tapestry of Faith program
In your own words explain:
Henry David Thoreau's simple way of life included his food. When he lived in his cottage in the woods, he often ate fruits and vegetables and natural foods he could find in the woods near his cottage. Today we will share a snack picnic and try some of the simple foods that Henry David Thoreau might have eaten when he lived in the cottage.
Gather the group, your quilt(s), and the picnic basket you have prepared. Bring participants to the indoor or outdoor location you have chosen. Settle the group in a circle on the quilt(s). Pass hand sanitizer so all may clean their hands.
Present, identify, and pass around the simple foods you have chosen to share. Explain that food is most nutritious — best for your body — when you eat it in the form closest to the way it is grown. A fresh apple has more nutrition than a cup of applesauce. Applesauce is apples that have been cooked, and sugar and preservatives may have been added to them.
Let children taste some of the foods and share comments. Clean up and return to the meeting space.
Check with parents to verify all children's ability to eat all of the foods you wish to include. Adapt the menu as necessary.
For more information contact email@example.com.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

How are the fathers of the bride and groom attired usually? Matching the groomsmen, or do they do their own thing? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sweet_pea10 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 10, 06 at 18:10
The dads usually wear tuxedos if the groomsmen are wearing them, but they do not have to match those worn by the groomsmen. Sometimes dads are more stout in build and they look better in a style that fits their builds. If the groomsmen wear suits, then the dads would wear suits as well. The father of the groom often feels somewhat left out on the wedding day, since his role is quite minor. Having him dress like the father of the bride and the groomsmen makes him feel more included. |

The National Bank of Romania – Banca Nationala a Romaniei
history, pictures
The Palace of the National Bank was built between 1884 and 1890 following the plans of the architects Albert Galleron and Cassien Bernard. They were assisted by Grigore Cechez and Constantin Baicoianu. The palace is erected on the site of a previous famous inn built by Prince Serban Cantacuzino.
The main facade located toward Lipscani Street, built in an eclectic style, is marked by Ionic columns and four side niches representing statues of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Justice. They were done by the Romanian sculptors Ion Georgescu and Stefan Ionescu Valbudea. The roof, although quite large, is not an important characteristic of the edifice because of its height. It has 5 cupolas and they were inspired by the cupola of the Louvre Palace.
During the Great War the building was occupied between 1916 and 1918 by the German army.
As the years passed the responsibilities of the bank had extended more and more and new locations had to be found. In order to avoid the dispersing of the bank departments in differed locations scattered around Bucharest it was decided to expropriate the private property right next to the old palace of the bank.
The constructions of the new palace started in 1940 and they were almost finished by the next year. Due to the war the palace was finished completely only in 1950. The new palace, erected after the drawings of the architect Radu Dudescu, was built on 5 levels in a classical style characterized by a symmetry of the Corinthian columns.
Address: 25 Lipscani Street

TUCSON - To prevent car vs. pedestrian accidents, a new committee has been formed to make Tucson a more walkable city.
To start, we're told this committee will tackle sidewalk repair and installation as well as crosswalk safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
The 13 member Pedestrian Advisory Committee or PAC met for the first time Wednesday.
They were appointed by city staff and come from all different backgrounds.
Many Tucsonans like Ignacio Gonzales see this as a step in the right direction. News 4 Tucson's Rebecca Taylor asks, have you ever had a close call?
Gonzales says, "Yes, I was just walking and I guess they didn't see me, they were making a right hand turn, and I have pretty fast reflexes."
"My only issue around here, is there's a big stretch where there's incentives to jaywalk because there's no crossing," says Tyler Cone who walks to and from work and school in the midtown area.
The latest numbers from Tucson Police show 109 traffic accidents involving pedestrians so far this year. Twelve people have died in 2013, double last year's numbers. In 2012 there were 166 crashes involving pedestrians, of those six people died.
Transportation director Daryl Cole says the committee was formed in response to public concern.
"Lack of sidewalks, first thing," says Cole, "We want to be able to get to and from, from a pedestrian point of view."
He says the PAC will focus on both drivers and pedestrians.
"I think an education campaign is something we probably should look at. Trying to teach people to cross in signalized intersections, marked sidewalks," says Cole, "Some of our pedestrians are hawks, pelicans or toucans, so I those are some of the things we want to talk to them about."
Tucson resident Jose Camacho says, "It should have happened a long time ago, but I mean it's better late than never. I'm happy they're going to get something done about the streets make it a safer environment, especially for little kids, whose parents can't afford cars."
Many car vs. pedestrian accidents happen at sunset and after.
Public safety officials recommend wearing light colored clothing or a reflective vest, and always cross in a designated crosswalk.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 649 - 11 March, 2008 Written Answers. - Human Rights Issues. Deputy Ruairí Quinn Deputy Ruairí Quinn Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs his views on the declaration of a state of emergency in Armenia, in view of expressions of concern at the position as pertains there by the Council of Europe; the action that will be taken by Ireland as a member of the EU and the international community to offer aid and assistance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10294/08] Deputy Dermot Ahern Deputy Dermot Ahern Deputy Dermot Ahern: Following the 19 February Presidential elections in Armenia, won by the government candidate Serzh Sarkisyan, the International Election Observation Mission noted that the vote was conducted mostly in line with OSCE and Council of Europe commitments and standards but that further improvements were necessary to address remaining challenges. The EU statement of 25 February congratulated the Armenian people on the conduct of the election but called attention to the problems highlighted by the observers. Supporters of the main opposition candidate, Levon Ter-Petrossian, held a series of peaceful demonstrations in Yerevan to dispute the result and call for new elections. However, on 1 March there were clashes with security forces which left at least eight people dead and many injured. A 20-day state of emergency was declared. In the immediate aftermath of the violence, both the Council of Europe and the OSCE expressed concern about the possibly excessive use of force and called for calm. They also expressed the hope that the state of emergency would be lifted quickly and that dialogue would begin between the two sides. 863 [863] On 4 March the EU issued a statement expressing its concern about the situation, condemning the violence, and calling on the Armenian authorities to release those arrested. The EU also called for the lifting of the state of emergency and recommended an independent investigation of the events of 1 March. It urged all sides to engage in dialogue for the consolidation of peace and stability in the country. In an effort to ensure the situation does not escalate, the EU is keeping in close touch with all sides, in particular through its Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby. I condemn the violence of 1 March, which resulted in loss of life and numerous injuries. I fully support the efforts of the EU, and of the OSCE and Council of Europe, to calm the situation in the country. The state of emergency should be lifted as soon as possible. The rule of law and a free media are essential elements in any democracy and these must be restored fully if Armenia is to deal with what has happened. It is important that an independent enquiry take place into the events of 1 March. Ireland, through the EU, will provide what assistance it can to support a process of dialogue between the government and opposition. The EU will also continue its support for the reform process in the country through the EU-Armenia ENP Action Plan. Dáil Éireann 649 Written Answers. Human Rights Issues.

How not to woo
Looking for the perfect romantic gesture to impress that special someone? You certainly won't find any good ideas here, in the antiguide to wooing: what not to do.
Don't run out of air
Hu Seng started out with the right idea – he thought he'd surprise his girlfriend at her office with a gift. But instead of flowers or jewelry, he thought he'd post… himself. In a box.
Hu reckoned the mail service would only take 30 minutes to deliver him safe and sound into his girlfriend's loving arms, however the box he'd packaged himself into got lost in transit.
Poor Hu was trapped inside for over three hours as he was transferred from post office to post office. He tried to make a hole in the cardboard but it was too thick, and started to run out of air.
Hu didn't want to ruin the surprise by shouting for help, so he just… passed out. When his special lady finally received her unconscious boyfriend in the mail, the result was less a moment of romance and more a medical emergency.
Don't try and KILL THE PRESIDENT
In an example that could have fitted nicely into our antiguide to assassination, John Hinckley Jnr tried to win over actress Jodie Foster by attempting to, er, kill President Ronald Regan.
He shot and wounded Regan and three of his entourage, the act part of some bizarre fantasy where Hinckley saw himself as Travis Bickle, the lead character in the classic movie Taxi Driver.
In the film, Bickle attempts to protect a 12 year old prostitute (played by Jodie Foster) and tries to assassinate a US Senator running for the top job.
Hinckley followed Jodie Foster around the country in the years after Taxi Driver and even joined her university only to find she wasn't quite as interested in him.
So, he asked himself: "What would Bickle do?" and apparently the answer was to shoot the president, and did he ever, not to mention also wounding three of the president's staff.
Even after such a touching romantic gesture, Jodie Foster still wasn't impressed, and Hinckley has had to settle for whatever action he can get in jail.
Don't make a fool of yourself
After watching one too many Hollwood romcoms, U.K soldier James Miller thought it would be romantic to declare his love for a girl in public at a soccer match, and did so by stripping down to his boxers, jumping onto the field and shooting roses from an arrow, Cupid-style.
He was promptly tackled by security, arrested, fined $300, banned from soccer games for the next three years, and warned by his superiors in the military that he might have to face a court martial.
On top of all that, the girl was so embarrassed by the whole incident she never saw him again.

Digital Extremes Announce Warframe
Our good friends at Digital Extremes announce a brand new game, Warframe. The game will incorporate two of the most talked about trends in game development these days... free-to-play and co-op. The nicest news of all is that it is coming this winter and it is a PC title.
You can sign up now to reserve your alias and get in on the beta testing when it begins in the fall. Just for participating you'll also get an exclusive weapon to use in-game. The press release offers up plenty of interesting details. Below, James Schmalz, CEO of Digital Extremes talks about the play model they chose for Warframe. Quote:
25th Jun 2012, 05:11 PM | #2 |
Press Release
Digital Extremes Goes Free-To-Play With Co-Op Action Game
WARFRAME Registration for Closed Beta Starts Today at PLAYWARFRAME.COM June 25, 2012 - London, Ontario - Today Digital Extremes provided a first look of WARFRAME, a fast-paced co-op shooter currently in development and set to hit the Free-To-Play PC market this winter. A stopped-in-mid-action diorama has gone live on playwarframe.com that gives gamers an appetite-whetting glimpse into the WARFRAME world. It also signals an open call for gamers worldwide to register at playwarframe.com for their chance to help shape the game during the closed Beta Test this fall. Set in the far reaches of outer space during a new Dark Age, WARFRAME introduces the Tenno, a race on the brink of extinction after being enslaved by the Grineer for centuries. Players enter WARFRAME on the cusp of the Grineer's victory over the Tenno until they begin to arm themselves with WARFRAMES - an ancient exo-skeletal technology only they can operate. Hidden within the Orokin Derelicts of a lost civilization, new WARFRAMES lie dormant and undiscovered. These artifacts are the Tenno's only hope for survival. WARFRAME is a fast-action PvE shooter set in an evolving sci-fi world. Some would call it MMO-Lite as squads of four players band together to advance their characters and battle the oppression of the genocidal Grineer. Throughout their combat missions, players will continually increase the power and abilities of their WARFRAME and weapons. Players will raid new areas of space searching for exotic and powerful weapons and WARFRAME augmentations to customize their arsenal. With WARFRAME's Automatic Mission Generator, the game will offer endless replay as levels are procedurally configured for a unique raid -- every time. "WARFRAME is a new name for an old game," explained Steve Sinclair, chief creative director at Digital Extremes. "It was a shelved concept we kept coming back to. High-tech machine-gun Ninjas set in a far-future, over-hyphenated, Manga-Dune mash-up. Free-to-play lets us take risks. It allows us to build WARFRAME with our players." Upon its release this winter, WARFRAME will be completely free- to-play to anyone who registers an account at playwarframe.com. After a quick free download, players can enter WARFRAME and enjoy all attributes of the game's world for as long as they like or can choose to participate in the game's marketplace where various enhancements to the game will be offered. "We've heard for years now that PC gaming is dead. It isn't dead; it just went underground for a few years and is now re- emerging with this massively growing free-to-play market that has matured to the point where the quality of games we're seeing rivals many AAA retail games," said James Schmalz, CEO of Digital Extremes. "In many ways, we're going back to our PC action-based roots. Free-to-play is like shareware 2.0! Once again, we're connected directly to our end-user. They decide whether or not to pay for their experience and we listen to their feedback and continually improve the experience to make it worth paying for. Game development as it should be." Registration is now open on playwarframe.com where gamers can reserve their 'alias' in the game and will have a chance at joining the Closed Beta Test slated for this fall. In addition, they will receive a free pre-launch only weapon that will be added to their account just for signing up. Further details of the Closed Beta Test will be announced this summer. |

26th Jun 2012, 04:55 AM | #10 |
Interesting. Looks like a mixture of the original stuff that what shown of Dark Sector and Pariah/Warpath.
Maybe this game will consist of all the good things that were left out of those other games? |
26th Jun 2012, 05:33 AM | #11 |
I'm assuming it's based on their Dark Sector engine.
26th Jun 2012, 10:37 AM | #12 |
DE hasnt the best of rep these days but this looks interesting and 4 man coop is always pure win IMHO.

The Darkness 2 and Dark Sector got good enough reviews. Homefront was reviewed reasonably well, though it did seem to have its problems.

I find the char models hideous looking. but the game looks like it might be fun.
In the original unity of the first things lies the secondary cause of all things, with the germ of their inevitable annihilation. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

I hope they really listen to their players this time because it looks good and i would really love a "L4D2" in space. |

Yeah, was thinking the same. I hope they don't recycle too much, kill your darlings etc...

Let's hope it's better than Pariah and Warpath...
"There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death. I have mixed feelings about the decline for Christianity, in so far that Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse" - Professor Richard Dawkins |

I was wondering if anyone has tried 5-htp (hydroxytryptophan) for whatever reasons and have increased exacerabations? I started taking it last May
(2012) and have had 3 flares since then (which I've never had so many so close together)...one of which sent me to the ER because of double vision/nystagmus..I was at the hosptial for 3 days of IV steriods. The reason I started taking 5-htp was for insomnia due to hot flashes. It seemed to help the hot flashes but I was starting to wonder about it aggravating my MS. I have googled and found some sites say not to take it if you have MS. I didn't know how true the info was. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with 5-htp? |
It really bothers me that these days the search engines return sales sites and forums in the search results before they return reputable "authority" sites. I'm wondering how many of the sites that said not to take it if you have MS were just those unreliable sites with opinion and no proof. I saw a sales site for 5-HTP that actually [U]recommended[/U] it for MS! From what I've read medical people are divided on 5-HTP. Some doctors recommend it and some don't. But the ones who don't recommend it don't recommend it for [U]anybody[/U]. And from what I know about MS, [U]if[/U] it isn't recommended for people with MS it would be because of some effect it might have on nerve function and not on exacerbations. Exacerbations are inflammatory episodes and I haven't read anything that says that 5-HTP promotes inflammation. Even [U]if[/U] that were true there would have to be a warning that it isn't good for anyone with [U]any[/U] auto-immune disease and not that it's bad just for MS. And I've never seen anything from any reputable source that says that. So nothing that would associate it with MS exacerbations. So I think to decide if anything you read is believable it's important to know [U]where[/U] you read it, [U]who[/U] said it, [U]why[/U] they said it's bad for MS and [U]what[/U] the proof is. On the surface, it just doesn't sound right. I've taken 5-HTP and never had any trouble from it. If you weren't taking a DMD at the time I think that one of the possibilities for your flares is that your MS was getting more aggressive since you weren't taking anything to fight it. |

Rodolpho Carrasco discusses the value of business for Christians.
He says, "Business is an outstanding Christian calling. Just as some are called to preach, some are called to teach, some are called to business. In our churches we need to affirm business people. Business people don't get affirmed enough. You ask them to give money, sit on the board, sit on the finance committee, we have a capital campaign, if you're on a mission trip here's a brush and paint with everyone else. We have no idea who these business people are. We don't understand their skills…We need to affirm the business people. We need to commission them. We need to pray over them. We need to talk to them. Don't talk to them about their money. Talk to them about creating value, about providing the needed goods and services in our society, about developing skills, about developing the people in their businesses."

...and small business is on the docket.
By Charlotte Mulhern
Here's good news for entrepreneurs with legal needs: An increasing number of U.S. law schools are offering courses with a small-business focus. That means more graduates are entering the work force with small-business law experience, intending to break the mold and pursue careers at small businesses instead of big law firms.
Who's getting in on the trend? New York University School of Law in New York City, George Washington University Law School in Washington, DC, and University of Pennsylvania Law School in Philadelphia, to name a few. The University of Pennsylvania, for one, offers a Small Business Clinic where students work under the supervision of a law firm representing small businesses. Students practice advising entrepreneurs in the start-up stage, drafting shareholder agreements, creating sales contracts and more.
"I think increasingly [small-business law] is being recognized as a different practice, with different legal rules and skills," says Gordon Smith, a law professor at Lewis & Clark College's Northwestern School of Law in Portland, Oregon. Smith explains that while traditional lawyers often specialize in a narrow area of law, successful small-business lawyers keep their skills more general.
Lewis & Clark's entrepreneurial-focused curriculum extends beyond that of most law schools. The college offers 10 such courses, ranging from seminars on initial public offerings to classes on drafting business documents. It is also developing a clinic where students will work with emerging businesses. And last year, the college launched The Journal of Small and Emerging Business Law.
"More students are interested in emerging businesses; that's partially because they have become the sexy businesses in our economy," says Smith. These companies also carry some risk. One Lewis & Clark student last year interned at a failing business. The benefit? He witnessed firsthand a company's struggle to survive. One drawback, though--the position didn't become permanent upon graduation.

Gabriel Cousens on Food For Spiritual Awakening
I've read Spiritual Nutrition by Dr. Cousens and found the insights to be a little tough to grasp.
Recently though, I stumbled upon this interview with Dr. Cousens and Michael Toms of New Dimesnsions Audio that reviews the insights in Spiritual Nutrition in a digestible manner.
You can here a sample for free, but the download of the interview will cost you $4.95.
Via New Dimensions Radio: Would you like to know six simple dietary changes that will improve your physical and spiritual health? Listen to this conversation with Dr. Gabriel Cousens and find out what those changes are as well as be informed how eating pesticide-laden foods affects your neurological function. Cousens even goes so far as to propose that the way we eat can lead to peace in the world, "Peace of the body becomes peace of the mind . . . Peace of the mind becomes peace with our family. If our blood sugar is steady and our mind is clear, we're certainly going to get along better. From peace with the family we start to talk about peace with the community, peace with all cultures, and peace with the ecology." Is fasting or being vegetarian for you? This far ranging conversation will shed light on such questions and more. 1 hour
