House of Representatives
Certain measures, either pending on the House and Union Calendars or unreported and pending in committee, are more important and urgent than others and a system permitting their consideration ahead of those that do not require immediate action is necessary. If the calendar numbers alone were the determining factor, the bill reported most recently would be the last to be taken up as all measures are placed on the House and Union Calendars in the order reported.
Unanimous consent
The House occasionally employs the practice of allowing reported or unreported measures to be considered by the unanimous agreement of all Members in the House Chamber. The power to recognize Members for a unanimous consent request is ultimately in the discretion of the Chair but recent Speakers have issued strict guidelines on when such a request is to be entertained. Most unanimous consent requests for consideration of measures may only be entertained by the Chair when assured that the majority and minority floor and committee leaderships have no objection.
Special resolution or "Rule"
To avoid delays and to allow selectivity in the consideration of public measures, it is possible to have them taken up out of their order on their respective calendar or to have them discharged from the committee or committees to which referred by obtaining from the Committee on Rules a special resolution or "rule" for their consideration. The Committee on Rules, which is composed of majority and minority members but with a larger proportion of majority members than other committees, is specifically granted jurisdiction over resolutions relating to the order of business of the House. Typically, the chairman of the committee that has favorably reported the bill requests the Committee on Rules to originate a resolution that will provide for its immediate or subsequent consideration. Under some circumstances, the Committee on Rules may originate a resolution providing for the "discharge" and consideration of a measure that has not been reported by the legislative committee or committees of jurisdiction. If the Committee on Rules has determined that the measure should be taken up, it may report a resolution reading substantially as follows with respect to a bill on the Union Calendar or an unreported bill:
- Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution the Speaker declares pursuant to rule XVIII that the House resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R.XXX) entitled, etc., and the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. After general debate, which shall be confined to the bill and shall continue not to exceed XXX hours, to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on XXX, the bill shall be read for amendment under the five-minute rule. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted, and the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
If the measure is on the House Calendar or the recommendation is to avoid consideration in the Committee of the Whole, the resolution reads substantially as follows:
- Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to consider the bill (H.R. XXX) entitled, etc., in the House.
The resolution may waive points of order against the bill. A point of order is an objection that a pending matter or proceeding is in violation of a rule of the House. The bill may be susceptible to various points of order that may be made against its consideration, including an assertion that the bill carries a retroactive federal income tax increase, contains a federal unfunded mandate, or has not been reported from committee properly. At times, the rule may "self-execute" changes to the bill, that is, incorporate the changes in the bill upon adoption of the rule. The rule may also make a specified "manager's amendment" in order prior to any other amendment or may make a "compromise substitute" amendment in order as original text to replace the version reported from committee. When a rule limits or prevents floor amendments, it is popularly known as a "closed rule" or "modified closed rule." However, a rule may not deny the minority party the right to offer a motion to recommit the bill with proper amendatory or general instructions. For a discussion of the motion to recommit, see Part XI.
Consideration of measures made in order by rule reported from the committee on rules
When a rule has been reported to the House, it is referred to the calendar and if it is to be considered immediately on the same legislative day reported, it requires a two-thirds vote for its consideration. Normally, however, the rule is on the calendar for at least one legislative day and if not called up for consideration by the Member who filed the report within seven legislative days thereafter, any member of the Committee on Rules may call it up as a privileged matter, after having given one calendar day notice of the Member's intention to do so. The Speaker will recognize any member of the committee seeking recognition for that purpose.
If the House has adopted a resolution making in order a motion to consider a bill, and such a motion has not been offered within seven calendar days thereafter, such a motion shall be privileged if offered by direction of all reporting committees having initial jurisdiction of the bill.
There are several other methods of obtaining consideration of bills that either have not been reported by a committee or, if reported, for which a rule has not been granted. Two of those methods, a motion to discharge a committee and a motion to suspend the rules, are discussed below.
Motion to discharge committee
A Member may present to the Clerk a motion in writing to discharge a committee from the consideration of a public bill or resolution that has been referred to it 30 legislative days prior thereto. A Member also may file a motion to discharge the Committee on Rules from further consideration of a resolution providing a special rule for the consideration of a public bill or resolution reported by a standing committee, or a special rule for the consideration of a public bill or resolution that has been referred to a standing committee for 30 legislative days. This motion to discharge the Committee on Rules may be made only when the resolution has been referred to that committee at least seven legislative days prior to the filing of the motion to discharge. The motion may not permit consideration of nongermane amendments. The motion is placed in the custody of the Journal Clerk, where Members may sign it at the House rostrum only when the House is in session. The names of Members who have signed a discharge motion are made available electronically and published in the Congressional Record on a weekly basis. When a majority of the total membership of the House (218 Members) have signed the motion, it is entered in the Journal, printed with all the signatures thereto in the Congressional Record, and referred to the Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees.
On the second and fourth Mondays of each month, except during the last six days of a session, a Member who has signed a motion to discharge that has been on the calendar at least seven legislative days may seek recognition and be recognized for the purpose of calling up the motion. The motion to discharge is debated for 20 minutes, one-half in favor of the proposition and one-half in opposition.
If the motion to discharge the Committee on Rules from a resolution prevails, the House shall immediately consider such resolution. If the resolution is adopted, the House proceeds to its execution. This is the modern practice for utilization of the discharge rule.
If the motion to discharge a standing committee of the House from a public bill or resolution pending before the committee prevails, a Member who signed the motion may move that the House proceed to the immediate consideration of the bill or resolution. If the motion is agreed to, the bill or resolution is considered immediately under the general rules of the House. If the House votes against the motion for immediate consideration, the bill or resolution is referred to its proper calendar with the same status as if reported by a standing committee.
Motion to suspend the rules
On Monday and Tuesday of each week and during the last six days of a session, the Speaker may entertain a motion to suspend the rules of the House and pass a public bill or resolution. Sometimes the motion is allowed on days other than Monday and Tuesday by unanimous consent or a rule from the Committee on Rules. For example, the House by rule from the Committee on Rules provided for the motion on Wednesdays for the remainder of the 108th Congress. Members need to arrange in advance with the Speaker to be recognized to offer such a motion. The Speaker usually recognizes only a majority member of the committee that has reported or has primary jurisdiction over the bill. The motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill is debatable for 40 minutes, one-half of the time in favor of the proposition and one-half in opposition. The motion may not be separately amended but may be amended in the form of a manager's amendment included in the motion when it is offered. Because the rules may be suspended and the bill passed only by affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Members voting, a quorum being present, this procedure is usually used only for expedited consideration of relatively noncontroversial public measures.
The Speaker may postpone all recorded and yea-nay votes on certain questions before the House, including a motion to suspend the rules and on passage of bills and resolutions, until a specified time or times on that legislative day or the next two legislative days. At these times, the House disposes of the postponed votes consecutively without further debate. After an initial fifteen-minute vote is taken, the Speaker may reduce to not less than five minutes the time period for subsequent votes. Eliminating intermittent recorded votes on suspensions reduces interruptions of committee activity and allows more efficient scheduling of voting.
Calendar wednesday
On Wednesday of each week, unless dispensed with by unanimous consent or by affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Members voting, a quorum being present, the standing committees are called in alphabetical order. A committee when named may call up for consideration any bill reported by it on a previous day and pending on either the House or Union Calendar. The report on the bill must have been available for three days and must not be privileged under the rules of the House. General debate is limited to two hours on any Calendar Wednesday measure and must be confined to the subject matter of the measure, the time being equally divided between those for and those against. An affirmative vote of a simple majority of the Members present is sufficient to pass the measure. The purpose of this rarely utilized procedure is to provide an alternative method of consideration when the Committee on Rules has not reported a rule for a specific bill.
District of Columbia business
On the second and fourth Mondays of each month, after the disposition of motions to discharge committees and after the disposal of business on the Speaker's table requiring only referral to committee, the Committee on Government Reform may call up for consideration any District of Columbia business reported from that committee. This procedure is rarely utilized in the modern House.
Questions of privilege
House rules provide special privilege to questions of privilege. Questions of privilege are classified as those questions: 1) affecting the rights of the House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the integrity of its proceedings; and 2) affecting the rights, reputations, and conduct of Members, individually, in their representative capacity. A question of privilege has been held to take precedence over all questions except the motion to adjourn. Questions of the privileges of the House, those concerning the rights of the House collectively, take the form of a resolution which may be called up by any Member after proper notice. A question of personal privilege, affecting the rights, reputation, and conduct of individual Members, may be raised from the floor without formal notice. Debate on a question of privilege proceeds under the hour rule, with debate on a question of the privileges of the House divided between the proponent and the leader of the opposing party or a designee.
Privileged matters
Under the rules of the House, certain matters are regarded as privileged matters and may interrupt the order of business. Conference reports, veto messages from the President, and certain amendments to measures by the Senate after the stage of disagreement between the two Houses are examples of privileged matters. Certain reports from House committees are also privileged, including reports from the Committee on Rules, reports from the Committee on Appropriations on general appropriation bills, printing and committee funding resolutions reported from the Committee on House Administration, and reports on Member's conduct from the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. Bills, joint resolutions, and motions may also take on privileged status as a result of special procedures written into statute. The Member in charge of such a matter may call it up at practically any time for immediate consideration when no other business is pending. Usually, this is done after consultation with both the majority and minority floor leaders so that the Members of both parties will have advance notice.
At any time after the reading of the Journal, a Member, by direction of the Committee on Appropriations, may move that the House resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for the purpose of considering a general appropriation bill. A general appropriation bill may not be considered in the House until three calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays unless the House is in session on those days) after printed committee reports and hearings on the bill have been available to the Members. The limit on general debate on such a bill is generally fixed by a rule reported from the Committee on Rules.
The Senate's Majority and Minority Leaders, as the spokesmen for their parties, and in consultation with their respective policy committees, implement and direct the legislative schedule and program.
Most measures are passed either on the call of the Calendar or by unanimous consent procedure. The more significant and controversial matters are considered, when possible, under unanimous consent agreements limiting debate and controlling time on the measure, amendments thereto, and debatable motions relating to it. This is done because otherwise debate is unlimited. Measures may be brought up on motion by a simple majority vote if they have been on the Calendar one legislative day. Such a motion to proceed is usually made by the Majority Leader or his designee and is usually debatable. The motion to proceed to the consideration of a measure on the Calendar is usually only made if there has been objection to a unanimous consent request to proceed to its consideration.
On highly controversial matters, the Senate frequently has to resort to cloture to work its will. Under Rule XXII, if three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn (60 if the Senate is at full membership of 100) vote in the affirmative, further debate on the question shall be limited to no more than one hour for each Senator, and the time for consideration of the matter shall be limited to 30 additional hours, unless increased by another three-fifths vote. On a measure or motion to amend the Senate Rules, it takes two-thirds of the Senators present and voting, a quorum being present, to invoke cloture.
- Main article: Filibuster
Under Rule VIII, which governs the consideration of bills on the call of the Senate Calendar, there is supposed to be a Calendar call each day at the end of the morning business. Under current practice, however, this very rarely occurs; instead, the Calendar is usually called, if at all, pursuant to a unanimous consent order. Rule VII makes a call of the Calendar mandatory on Monday if the Senate had adjourned after its prior sitting. This requirement may only be waived by unanimous consent, and it has become the regular practice of the leadership to request that the requirement be waived.

I am Mexican and though I am the youngest in my family, I am considered one of the best cooks. I have 3 daughters, 14 year old twins and an almost 12 year old. My poor wonderful husband, a wife and 3 crazy stepdaughters! We do have 2 male dogs/fur babies (a purebred siberian husky and a german shepard) to balance things out! My worst habit is that I never measure anything in my own family recipes. I will try to start doing that so I can share recipes with everyone. Recipezaar has given me the chance to learn a lot from some very talented chefs, thanks everybody!
I love Mexican food of course but after that Greek, Indian & Chinese would be my favorites. I am not too fond of Italian at all. I prefer food with lots of spice and flavor that uses different veggies.

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.

It is not new. But this information is not widely known. Also, it comes
in response to the strategy review that was just unveiled and a time
when tensions are rising. Note how the ISI outed the name of the CIA
station chief. Last week both Petraeus and Mullen were in country and
today the head of U.S. Transportation Command is there. We also had
strong comments from Obama, Hillary, Gates pressing Pak to help with the
surge. I think we should publish as insight-driven article just laying
out that this is what we are hearing from very reliable and well placed
Pak govt sources.

We have gotten permission from Pakistani army headquarters that we can
publish the insight below quoting "government sources". It is
interesting that they have decided to leak information thru as a way
to shape perceptions in DC. Shall we publish this as is - along the
lines of the reports from the field that we have done occasionally in
the past? What do you think?

The following is an email I got from my colonel contact at army head quarters in Rawalpindi:
US review of Afghan Strategy
A. Main points of the Review Strategy
1. America's strategy for Afghanistan is centered on disrupting, dismantling, and defeating al-Qa'ida in theater and preventing its capacity to threaten America, its citizens, and its allies.
2. The strategy remains relentlessly focused on Pakistan-based al-Qa'ida because of the strategic nature of the threat posed by its leadership, and in particular the group's continued pursuit of large-scale, catastrophic anti-Western attacks and its influence on global terrorism.
B. Counter points to the Review Strategy
1. The US-allied military strategy in Afghanistan has failed because of the failure of their political strategy. The political strategy is not working that's why the military strategy is not successful.
2. The Afghan government has failed to give equitable and balanced representation to Pashtuns who form the major Taliban militant force. Besides there are no major gains because they are unable to fight pitched battles against the insurgents.
3. Thus the blame of failures on their side cannot be put on Pakistan as Pakistan is not providing sanctuaries to al-Qa'ida and Taliban. Yes there remains some representation of al-Qa'ida and Taliban in the areas bordering Afghanistan, but at the same time there is a huge number of Pakistan military (around 140,000) deployed along the border, with major deployment in North Waziristan where operations are in process.
4. On Pakistan's side there are over 900 posts covering majority of natural laterals, whereas on the Afghanistan side there are only 150 or so posts which are usually frequently readjusted rearwards.
5. Pakistan has initiated military operations in all the six out of seven agencies and areas adjoining Afghanistan, so there is no such thing as a scoot free sanctuary.
6. Even in North Waziristan, areas like Shawal and Razmak surroundings, sting operations are going on.
7. If operation in NWA means annihilating Mir Ali and Miran Shah - the two big cities of NWA - then probably it is not possible as scorched earth policy of Russian intent cannot be perpetrated against own population.
8. Afghanistan has failed to stop cross border movement of miscreants which is destabilizing adjoining border areas of Pakistan.
9. The miscreants who succeed in sneaking into the other side need to travel more than 60 kilometers inside Afghanistan to reach their targets. How can they travel under the hi-tech satellite-run sensitive surveillance gadgets? How much is their control on their area?
10. All miscreant leadership is always given shelter in adjoining Afghanistan even in areas under direct control of ISAF forces. As a result of the Pakistan military's successful Bajuar Agency operation in August 2008, Maulvi Faqir, Qari Ziaur Rehman, Commander Abdul Wali, and even Maulana Fazlullah of Swat were provided shelter in Afghanistan where they are enjoying sanctuary in the Kunar province.
11. Nobody realizes where the weaponry comes from for these terrorists. Allied forces are giving protection money to the war lords and Taliban. Poppy is being cultivated as usual. Drug money is used to bribe the Terrorists.
12. North Waziristan is not Pakistan's Achilles heel which remains out of magical potions rather it is very much part of Pakistan and figure well in its national counter terrorism strategy.
13. Thus America's do more mantra is illogical and a step to hide its own failures in Afghanistan.

Breaking news from the extensive world of 80′s guitar player nickname litigation, a subject that I am sure is near and dear to your hearts.
Durant was sued today in Federal Court by a guy named Mark Durante — a guitarist who, according to the lawsuit, was a big deal in the 80s … playing with Public Enemy, The Aliens, The Next Big Thing, and (our favorite) The Revolting Cocks.
TMZ obtained a copy of the lawsuit, in which Durante says he adopted the name "Durantula" for his "on-stage and performance persona" — and has used it to market "music, recordings, apparel, t-shirts, guitars, and related merchandise." [...]
Durante claims he sent KD's people a couple letters "demanding they stop using the nickname" — but says Durant's reps claimed he wasn't using it.
In the suit though, Durante claims Nike has used the moniker to launch a shoe campaign — and KD himself signed "Durantula" on basketballs that are for sale through his website.
The guitarist says he registered the "Durantula" trademark. He's suing for damages and an injunction stopping KD from using the name.
Oh no. Kind of worried here, you guys. As the legend goes, the Durantula nickname was created by the internet's Rob Mahoney many years ago, only to be popularized by the hosts of a certain internet basketball show called The Basketball Jones. One of their hosts even posted on a popular internet web log about the nickname, declaring for all the world to see that Kevin Durant shall be called Durantula from now until eternity. I am loathe to mention these facts because I don't want us to get dragged in to this mess, but that's the origin story and that's why I'm kind of nervous for Skeets and Tas. Testifying in front of a federal nicknames court must be harrowing.
The problem for Durant is that there are definitely people who have sold "Durantula" stuff, including the Thunder. When there are websites readily selling this kind of stuff — and when one of those websites is allegedly your own — it's kind of hard to argue that you're not using the nickname. He might not have chosen it, but he's certainly associated with it. I have no idea how nickname law works as I am mostly a bird law expert, but that can't help.
However, the good part is that no one who hears "Durantula" in this day and age thinks, "Oh, the guitarist from the Revolting Cocks?" Good luck to this guy trying to prove that he is the one true Durantula when every Bing result for the nickname turns up pictures of Kevin Durant. Maybe he can have Lawrence Taylor testify that he is still upset that LaDainian Tomlinson stole his nickname, but otherwise, I'm not so sure how well this work out for Mark Durante. I know Tas and Skeets certainly aren't going to be any help, so good luck with this totally non-frivolous lawsuit.

Spring Dress
The underneath is rayon, and the top layer is a sheer polyster. The polyster was extremely difficult to sew.

Oh I love this combination of colors!

cute dress! i love the colors. it looks great!
Mar 26, 2008, 10.55 PMby jokerthelove
that is soooo cute!!! I suggest using iron on binding tape for the polyester… maybe that would make it easier.
Mar 24, 2008, 08.31 PMby spiderlily
Wow, the colors of your dress are very inspiring. I hear you about the polyester being hard to sew. It doesn't press flat and feels so stiff and plasticky. I like to work with cotton, silk, bamboo, natural fibers….

I love the colors, too. A great dress!

poor quality, fell apart in less than a month
"I loved these sandals. They were cute and went as easily with a pair of jeans as a more formal dress.However, they literally fell apart a week or two after I bought them. I was walking to a party, and they snagged a little on a crack in the sidewalk and the thong ripped right out of the bottom of the sandal. It was pretty awful considering I then had to hop on one foot to the nearest CVS to buy a pair of cheap flip flops to wear to my own going away party...I would definitely not recommend these and I probably won't be purchasing anything from Steve Madden for some time."

Super cute
"I love these with a cute maxi, jeans, or shorts! I especially like that the gold jewelry does not look cheap or fake."
May 27, 2014
"Love this sandal's look. My only issue with it is the buckle doesn't seem to get tight enough, so the sandal feels loose on the foot."

Thai Hut's chefs ignite taste buds with a menu of traditional Thai fare, spicing seafood, duck, and beef with zesty sauces in a choice of four heat levels. Couples can warm up their palates on an appetizer of chicken satay paired with peanut sauce or the Money Bag, deep-fried parcels of prawn, chicken, corn, and peas used to pay off grumbling tummies. A pair of Thai Hut salads clears out leftover flavors with crispy vegetables and a delectable dressing of peanut sauce. A broad array of entrees encourages diners to select the ingredients and spice levels in any dish, such as letting fans of thai basil mix the dish's eponymous herb, green beans, and bell peppers with a choice of seafood, chicken, beef, or duck. A plate of pad thai hides eggs, peanuts, and bean sprouts in a labyrinth of fried noodles, and spicy red or green curry tempers tongue-tingling heat with cool notes of coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and scales from Rhapsody in Blue. Ornate touches, such as tablecloths zigzagged with intricate patterns, bright flowers, and a rich wood bar, make for an elegant atmosphere in the dining room.
East-West Grille serves a plethora of pan-Asian eats from menus that spotlight Laotian and Thai cuisine. Laotian options include sausage, stews, fried rice, and spiced meats such as the larb-gai, minced grilled chicken breast bathing in lime juice and seasoned with ginger, scallions, cilantro, and bean sprouts ($9.95 for lunch; $11.95 for dinner). The mangkham salad meshes protein and greens in a tastier alternative to watering your vegetable garden with egg whites, with your choice of chicken, pork, or shrimp comingling with lettuce, herbs, nuts, tomatoes, and noodles ($7.50 for lunch; $8.95 for dinner).
Whether beneath the thatched roof of the tiki hut or at an intimate table surrounded by bamboo shoots, Papaya Thai and Asian BBQ's tropical themes pervade the eatery's confines. The barbecue bar grants diners a front-row seat to watch chefs expertly grill marinated meats and veggies on wooden skewers, wielding the power of fire like Prometheus to cook beef to its tender best state. A variety of Thai tasting plates and main dishes include classics such as pad thai, sizzling chicken in a thai barbecue sauce, and skewered chicken satay. From the tiki bar, bartenders pour tropical drinks such as papaya thai-ritas made with sweet mango and nutty monkeys, an almond-rum-banana concoction the staff delivers to tables by way of swinging through the rafters.
Sushi Ichi Japanese Restaurant's seasoned chefs recruit fresh fish and sticky morsels of rice to build a menu stacked with more than 50 types of maki rolls. The culinary team fills seaweed-wrapped cylinders with predetermined combinations of snow crab, tuna, and salmon, as well as custom-builds sushi rolls to incorporate diners' favorite ingredients. Thai and Chinese dishes also abound and include classics such as spicy kung pao chicken, shrimp pad thai, and green and red curries flanked by rich coconut rice.
Little Thai Kitchen's chefs decorate porcelain canvasses with a menu of marinated Thai edibles presented in harlequin medleys beneath sprays of decorative bamboo. Stone and dark-cherry walls sprawl behind symphonies of silverware that clink gently like a robot with a rock in its shoe. Sticky sweet rice, veggies, and a variety of meats and seafood bask alongside spicy curries, including a green-chili concoction that the New York Times called "fierce and delicate at the same time." Frosted glass and brushed-steel lights spill warm light onto diners as they chat amid pastoral accents and artwork with Eastern influences.
Wild Ginger's woven lanterns drizzle light on a wall-spanning triptych of paintings that blends modern abstraction with traditional Asian styles. Cherry-red banquettes cushion patrons as they dine on dishes that blend the cuisines of China, Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia. Sushi shares menu space with made-to-order entrees of chicken, duck, and scallops in curry and fruit-based sauces. While waiting on a wok entree to cool, patrons can try to down a frothy brew using only their chopsticks.

Just Cause 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 126.96.36.199
Timedemo or Level Used: Dark Tower
Developer Homepage: http://www.eidos.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.justcause.com/
Just Cause 2 employs the Avalanche Engine 2.0, an updated version of the engine used in Just Cause. The game is set on the other side of the world from the original Just Cause, on the fictional island of Panau in Southeast Asia. Panau has varied terrain, from desert to alpine to rainforest. Rico Rodriguez returns as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay and confront his former mentor, Tom Sheldon.
With the HD 7770 just scraping in the 60 FPS average we aim for at 1680 x 1050, it's no surprise that the HD 7750 falls short of it. Unfortunately you're going to need quite the detail drop again to get the FPS up to a point we would consider smoothly playable.

United Arab Emirates
Special Arab Files
This page contains links to sites in UAE and UAE related sites.
For Middle East, North Africa, Arab and regional information visit Arab Countries
Formerly known as the Trucial States, Trucial Coast, or Trucial Oman, the seven constituent emirates were bound to Great Britain by truce (1820) and agreement (1892).
After World War II Britain granted autonomy to the emirates, and in 1971 the independent federation was formed; neighboring Qatar and Bahrain, which originally were to be part of the federation, opted for separate statehood.
Originally governed by a provisional constitution, the federation went through a period of severe internal tensions in the late 1970s and 1980s, with rivalry between Abu Dhabi and Dubai hampering closer cooperation.
The United Arab Emirates participated with the international coalition against Iraq during the Persian Gulf War (1991) and since then has expanded its international contacts and diplomatic relations.
The federation's constitution was made permanent in 1996.
A dispute erupted with Saudi Arabia in 1999 over relations with Iran, a traditional enemy; while Saudi Arabia appeared willing to seek improved ties, the emirates still regarded Iran as a foe. Sheikh Zaid ibn Sultan al-Nahayan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, was president of the UAE from the founding of the federation until his death in 2004, when his son and heir, Sheikh Khalifa ibn Zaid Al Nahayan, was elected to succeeded him.
The financial crisis that resulted in Dubai in 2009, as the speculative bubble there collapsed and the government-owned Dubai World conglomerate struggled with huge debts, affected all the sheikhdoms to some degree and shook the nation's banking system, and Dubai was forced to seek significant financial aid from Abu Dhabi.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
Having cancer can influence the decisions you need to make when you are buying health insurance.
There are different types of health insurance, including:
This pays out a single lump sum if you're diagnosed with a life-threatening health condition such as a heart attack, a stroke, some types of cancer or kidney failure. It also pays out if you become totally and permanently disabled.
This pays out a monthly income if you can't work because of illness or disability. Most policies pay out until you either recover or reach retirement age. Some pay out for a maximum term – for example, five years.
This pays your monthly mortgage payments (and sometimes a bit extra) if you're unable to work. Depending on the policy, this type of insurance may cover you because of illness, an accident, unemployment or all three. It usually only pays out for a maximum of 1–2 years. You usually need to keep on paying the premiums for your cover while you are ill.
This pays out a sum of money to help cover your monthly repayments on loans, credit/store cards or catalogue shopping payments.
This pays back the cost of private treatment for 'acute' medical conditions that start after your policy begins. An acute condition is one that's likely to respond quickly to treatment or one that you're likely to fully recover from.
This is an option you may have with a life insurance policy or a pension plan. The waiver pays your insurance premiums or pension contributions if you can't work because of illness or disability. Depending on the policy, this may continue until you return to work, the end of the insurance policy term, a set age or a set date.
With all these types of insurance, the likelihood of making a claim tends to increase if you already have a pre-existing medical condition. This could make it harder or more expensive to get cover if you don't already have it.
Insurers can arrange your insurance in two different ways.
This is a method some insurers use to help you get cover in the future for a health condition you're recovering from. MPPI, other loan protection insurance, short-term income protection and some private medical insurance typically use a moratorium.
The policy excludes any claims related to health conditions you have or have had recently at the time you take out the policy.
The exclusion lasts for the first year or two of the policy (the 'moratorium period').
If a claim is made after that time, the health condition is covered provided there are no further symptoms, medical advice or treatment during the moratorium period.
This is a process an insurer uses to assess the likelihood of you making a claim against insurance you take out.
Income protection insurance, critical illness cover and some private medical insurance usually use underwriting.
The insurer may ask for information about your health, your lifestyle and the health of close relatives. They may do this through questions and medical reports. Based on the assessment, the insurer decides whether to offer you cover, what premium to charge you and any other special terms or restrictions to include.
Health conditions that develop after you've taken out a policy don't usually affect your premium or cover, providing you don't change policy. But they may affect the terms you're offered if you wanted to switch to a different policy.
Some employers arrange health insurance for their employees on a group basis. This may be private medical insurance or income protection insurance. Cover is often provided up to a set amount for employees who have joined the scheme, regardless of any health conditions they may already have.
Contact your personnel or human resources (HR) department at work to find out whether your employer offers any group health insurance schemes that you can join
If you've had cancer or are living with cancer, you usually can't get any health insurance cover for claims related to the cancer.
In some cases, you may be refused health insurance because of your cancer.
Insurers can also ask questions about the health of family members. This is because people whose close relatives (for example, parents, brothers and sisters) have had cancer may, in a small number of cases, be at a higher risk of getting the same cancer.
It's possible to have genetic tests to check if you're at a high risk of getting some types of cancer. There are two types of test:
You'll usually have to tell the insurer about any diagnostic tests. Insurers can't usually ask for or use the results of predictive tests.
If you have a family history of cancer but have had a favourable genetic test result, you may want to tell the insurer about it, and if you don't have any other health issues, you could get cover on standard terms.
We have more information about cancer genetics|.
If you've been diagnosed with cancer or you're off work because of it, you may be able to claim against any health insurance policies you already have.
Try to claim as soon as possible because there will usually be a time limit (for example, six months). After this, claims will no longer be eligible.
Before paying out on a claim, the insurer will make careful checks to make sure the claim is valid. This is likely to include getting medical reports from your GP and cancer specialist.
You may be asked to have a medical examination with another doctor. Paying out on a claim will usually take several weeks.
Income- and lump-sum insurance payouts may also affect your entitlement to state benefits. Check the policy documents for details of how to make a claim. If you used an insurance broker or financial adviser when you took out the policy, they should be able to help you claim.
If you're diagnosed with cancer and have a mortgage, you may have mortgage payment protection insurance (MPPI).
This should cover your mortgage payments if you're signed off sick from work. You should make the claim as soon as possible, as the payout usually starts after a waiting period of around 30 days. With some policies, payments are backdated to the start of the period you're off work. The payout should cover the whole mortgage payment and may provide a small amount of cash to help with bills as well.
MPPI provides useful temporary help but pays out for a maximum of 12 or 24 months. It's important to keep up the mortgage payments after that time to avoid any risk of losing your home.
If you're struggling with money problems, we have more information about managing your money day to day|.
People who have a low income and get certain benefits may also be eligible for support with paying mortgage interest (see gov.uk/support-for-mortgage-interest|).
Critical illness cover pays out a tax-free lump sum. It may have been taken out as a stand-alone policy or combined with life insurance|.
If taken out in connection with a mortgage, critical illness cover may pay off the whole of the outstanding loan. If it's not linked to a mortgage, the payout can be used for any purpose – for example, to pay bills during a period off work, cover private treatment costs in the UK or abroad, or pay for a holiday.
A cancer diagnosis doesn't necessarily trigger a payout. Check the wording of a critical illness policy to see which cancers are covered. If the wording is unclear, contact the insurer.
Income protection insurance pays out a monthly income if you're unable to work because of illness or disability. You will have chosen the level of income at the time you started the insurance and hopefully it will be enough for you to pay your bills and carry on with a reasonable lifestyle. You'll also have chosen a waiting period before the payments start, which may be from four weeks to up to two years.
The insurance usually carries on paying out until you either return to work or reach retirement age, whichever comes first. But some policies pay out only for a maximum term. This could be five years, for example, or less for short-term income protection policies.
You should let the insurer know if you change your occupation or move home after buying income protection insurance. If you don't, there's a chance your claim will be refused.
Payment protection insurance claims If you're diagnosed with cancer and have a personal loan or credit card, you may have payment protection insurance (PPI).
This should cover your loan or card repayments if you're signed off sick from work. You should make the claim as soon as possible. Usually, the payout only starts after a waiting period of around 30–60 days. With some policies, payments are backdated to the start of the period off work. PPI pays out for a maximum of 12 or 24 months.
PPI has been widely mis-sold in the past. If your claim is turned down and you feel that it wasn't made clear to you when you took out the insurance that claims like yours wouldn't be covered, you should consider making a complaint, as you may be eligible for compensation. For more information about making a complaint, contact our financial guides| on 0808 808 00 00.
If you have private medical insurance (PMI) – either your own policy or cover through work – it may reimburse the cost of some or all private treatment for cancer. PMI is designed to cover acute medical conditions but not chronic ones. There can be confusion about when cancer counts as acute or chronic.
Macmillan Cancer Support worked with the Association of British Insurers (ABI)| to make sure PMI insurers have a separate section that explains the cover for cancer using agreed examples.
You'll need to check the wording of the policy and it may be helpful to discuss it with the insurer. You must get the insurer's approval for any course of treatment before it goes ahead, otherwise the insurer may refuse to pay.
There may be arrangements for the insurer to pay the bills directly. Alternatively, you'll need to pay first, then collect receipts and claim refunds. For income protection insurance or private medical insurance provided through work, contact your personnel or human resources (HR) department for guidance on making a claim.
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
To speak to a financial guide, call free (Monday to Thursday 9am-5pm, Friday 9am-4.30pm).

I think I may have found my new favorite red! I love OPI Red Hot Ayers Rock and could never find a replacement. I came across Dutch Tulips and now I'm in love. This is a beautiful classic red and looks good on all digits. Perfect for all holiday seasons and all year round. Love this red.
Cutest color for a pedicure if you have fair, pinkish skin. I found the wear to be typical overall of OPI polishes. It's a pretty bright, intense color, so I'm not sure I'd want to wear it as a manicure, but I could see myself wearing it as a pedi all summer. Could be paired with pink as well as red fingernails, although it's more of a red than a pink itself. I've been wearing it with Illamasqua Fire Rose on my fingers, and it's looked really pretty.
Although I'm really a total klutz in the application of polishing my nails..and my nails in general are brittle, I get my nails done (sorry--acrylic nail tips) at the nail place on a regular basis...and the one nail polish I ALWAYS go to is OPI's "Dutch Tulips". I like a classic red nail. There is something elegant, classic and chic about a red nail--but it needs to be the right shade of red. For my fair skin--any red with traces of orange just don't work with my skin tone. Dutch Tulips is a red that is blue based, but the color itself almost borders on the deepest pink or raspberry. It is a true red though. I can pick this color out in any row of the reds that the nail place I go to has on display. The color is truly beautiful. In addition, it is a very intense shade that really only needs one coat. Hopefully OPI will never discontinue this shade--it would be a shame if they did.
In fact, now I'm thinking-- I need to purchase a few bottles of this to bring when I get my nails done--Just in case!!

I love all OPI nail polishes. They are long wear and quick to apply. The price is a little on the high side but worth it! This shade is great!
First I loved the name of this nail polish and than the color which is not as red as some people describe here. I mean it is red with pink undertones that you can notice only if you are outside in the sunlight. Application is beautiful one coat is already enough.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is so far the most gorgeous red shade I've got. It's more of red rather than pink though. At first I wanted to buy a pink shade, but when I apply it on my nails it shows more of red. However the color is so gorgeous so I want to keep it in my OPI collection.
I won't be wearing this colour but it deserves a good rating for ease of application and full, smooth opacity after applying one or two coats. I do love OPI's wider brush and smoother consistency than many of my Essie colours. Dutch Tulips is just not my colour--although it appeared pinky-red in the bottle, on my nails it's more of a true, blue-based red against my NC20-ish skin tone. A word of caution--this was more difficult to remove than any of my other dark polishes and left a slight red stain on my nails, even though I used a good base coat.

This is by far the best red nail varnish I have used, and I have tried loads. It is a bright red but without looking pink/coral.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutelly love this color. After having it for a month, I bought second bottle, because it was in sale and I was worried that it will be ended. It is a bright ping-red color, very shiny, makes my day much better :)
More reviews by Canadianpetite
Was looking for a nice bluish red so had someone help me choose. They suggested something else and Dutch Tulips. This was suggested to me awhile ago already so I bought it this time. At the store, it looked red but now that I've tried it on and had seen the bottle in different lighting, it looks reddish fuchsia. May have to go back and get that other red -- whatever its name. I love OPI though because the brush is so wide that I only need to swipe twice (I keep my nails short and my nails are fairly petite). The paint consistency is runny enough that a bottle will last a long time and it doesn't dry out even after a year. I only need one layer to get true color. Worth the price! Gave a high rating because it's a beautiful color even if it wasn't what I was looking for.

We really enjoyed this twist on the classic burger. I loved the Indian spices with the cool yogurt and cucumber and stuffed in a pita made it the perfect sandwich! I served these with homemade potato chips which I had never made before. Um, so.good. and highly addictive!
1 pound ground chicken
4 scallions, minced
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced or grated
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 whole-wheat pitas, cut in half crosswise
1 cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/2 cup fresh cilantro sprigs
Yogurt Sauce
1/2 cup lowfat Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a medium bowl, combine chicken, scallions, ginger, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, cardamom, cayenne, salt and pepper. Set aside for flavors to meld, 10-30 minutes.
Using wet hands, form chicken mixture into 4 patties. Place patties on a plate and stick them in the freezer while you prepare the grill.
When ready to grill, remove patties from freezer, season with additional salt and pepper and grill until opaque throughout, 4-5 minutes per side.
While burgers are grilling, prepare yogurt sauce. Whisk together yogurt, cumin, salt and pepper. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
Warm the pitas in a microwave or toast on the grill. Place one patty into each of the pita pockets, top with cucumber, cilantro, and yogurt sauce.
Makes 4 servings.

The Hotel Association of New York City is hoping to file a class action lawsuit against airbnb, one of several websites through which people rent out their homes to travelers, often in violation of the law, according to a report published Monday by Crain's New York Business. The article said state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is also looking at ways to crack down on people violating a 2010 law that bans renting out space for less than 30 days when the owner is not present, a rule administered by the city Office of Enforcement.
A quick search Tuesday of airbnb turned up many rooms and apartments for rent by the night in Queens, from Astoria to Jamaica. The site said more than 1,000 were listed, though that includes any in New York that mention Queens, such as one Manhattan post that said the apartment is in an upscale area "not to be confused with places in Harlem, New Jersey or the other boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens."
Many residents dislike the transient nature of the rentals and are concerned about overcrowding, as are the city and state, along with nonpayment of hotel taxes. Crain's said some renters don't even know they're breaking the law.
Anyone who wants to receive updates on contaminated sites in Queens the state is working to clean up, such as the Flushing River, the former Ozone Industries factory in Ozone Park and various old dry cleaners around the borough, must sign up anew for the Department of Environmental Conservation's mailing list.
The information, which includes proposed cleanup plans open to public comment, meeting times on specific sites and the like, is now being emailed. To receive the updates — along with other DEC news if desired — one must register at dec.ny.gov/chemical/61092.html.
Those who still want information sent via traditional mail may write to the DEC's Division of Environmental Remediation, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-7012. Only households have that option, and the name of the specific site for which updates are requested must be included.
An energy service company of the kind that has sparked numerous complaints for aggressive and misleading marketing in Queens and elsewhere could lose its eligibility to operate in the state, the Public Service Commission announced last Thursday.
ESCOs provide electricity and natural gas, offering different rates than utilities like Con Edison, though the utility still handles actual delivery. ESCO reps often sell their services door to door, and many residents allege false marketing practices. They say reps have signed them up without authorization, and that some even have claimed to be with Con Ed.
An ESCO called Buy Energy Direct appears to have done all that, even after prior warnings about its practices, the PSC said. The company was given one week to convince the state it should be allowed to continue operating.
Four percent of hotel tax revenue generated in Queens would go into efforts to promote tourism here, under a new bill introduced by state Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst).
The funds would be capped at $300,000 a year, five times as much as the city's tourism arm, NYC & Co., provides to each borough. The money could be used to promote for-profit businesses such as restaurants, while NYC & Co. funds can only advertise nonprofits. Peralta said NYC & Co. does "outstanding work" promoting all boroughs, and that some Manhattan-centric marketing is understandable, but that "Queens represents what New York City is really all about." Under his plan, some funds would go toward updating and distributing the free "This is Queens" phone app, developed by the borough's Chamber of Commerce.
