Orange or red can represent Mars, green is for Venus, that really familiar colour association, but also people just have a relationship with the moon that they don't with some made-up world. So yes, whether it was just colours or impressions that we have of these planets because we're so familiar with them, we were drawn to our solar system.
Did you worry that would be confining in some way?
Well, unless one planet shows up some day for some strange reason. There are always strange things that can happen in our solar system. But beyond the strange and fantastical, we think our solar system is pretty incredible. We're all space junkies at Bungie, but I think I said in my talk, with every new image from Mars rovers or the stuff the Cassini probe is sending back, it's pretty incredible stuff, and we think that even without making things up, there are some pretty neat things that we can go and see in our solar system.
Did you ever consider not doing a sci-fi FPS?
No, we thought of a good handful of other genres as well. We've had a pretty long pre-production period and we explored everything from straight-up fantasy to something a little bit more modern to many, many other things as well.
Ultimately we gravitated towards this mix of science fiction and fantasy because it gave us this freedom - you saw small things like the prevalence of cloth in the game, a lot of characters have capes or cloaks and the combatants have cloth as well. Fantasy brings us this texture that we can wrap around sci-fi, which is really appealing, especially if you're an artist who's just been stuck making straight up space armour for ten years. A bit of cloth is very refreshing.
I can imagine that would be liberating. You're revealed very little about the factions - I'm not sure you've even referred to them as factions - and yet people are assigning themselves to them already. Was that something you engineered?
Well I think we're very fortunate to have voracious fans and fans that think deeply about - even if you only give them a little they will think deeply about what you give them. I think whether it's been the faction logos we've shown on T-shirts or more recently, I don't know if you've been following this, but we started to seed out some really short-form fiction. Take a look at that, it's been these passages from a source they haven't identified yet.
So for us it's really been, we'll give them simple artistic things like the faction logos and then we'll also give them deeper things so that if they were to completely understand the fiction we just sent out they'd understand a great deal about our universe. But of course it's mysteriously written and it's not very clear necessarily what it is, but I think we try to do both, give them things that are very basic and open to a lot of interpretation, and things that highly specific but a little bit confusing or confounding when you first encounter it, and then let them make their own judgements about it and draw their own conclusions from it.
A lot of the fun of talking to your community at an early stage is leaving it open-ended, letting them ask the questions, letting them fill in the blanks, and have fun with it.
Would you go as far as to say that identifying with a faction now will have consequences in the game?
Probably the best thing to say right now is the factions that we've released, they are real factions in the game, so if you find yourself drawn to one of them artistically or the name, you'll definitely have opportunities in the game to, I'd say, heighten these associations.

stevetalbert commented on the blog post Why We Shouldn't Invade Random Countries
Totally agree with this comment. The US was/is worse. At least Crimea is part of the same culture (it can be debated about whether it was ever really part of Russia), many speak Russian, and their major navy base is there. Iraq, on the other hand, and Afganistan after Bin Laden was killed, are not part of our national interests.

stevetalbert commented on the blog post Obama's Job Approval Rating Has Yet to Recover After Health Care Roll Out
I just can't believe this. People are upset at Obama because of some website that he didn't have anything to do with yet they don't get upset when the ACA was passed as an insurance subsidy without a public option, drug re-import allowances, and all the other things wrong with the law.
What a bunch of know nothings. Wait until they actually start having to use the insurance and find out about the limited network on most of the plans.

stevetalbert commented on the blog post Federal Judge Asks Why Wall Street Executives Haven't Been Prosecuted
There have been no prosecutions because they would have to include the entire financial system. It would expose how truly unfair the system is in how it is set up and allowed to continued (with the full financial backing of the US [taxpayer]). The fraud was done at the middle level because that's where things get done,, known about (maybe) at the higher levels. They don't think the higher people are responsible since they didn't actually do it themselves, although you can't prosecute the middle without the top. So the middle go free to save the top. Like trickle down forgiveness. I hope the middle and lower know how much they owe the top for the benefits they got.

stevetalbert commented on the blog post After Helping Wall Street For Years President Obama Talks Inequality
Obama can bring it up now only BECAUSE the foundation for the banking and healthcare industries was strengthened and there won't be much possibility for real change to the status quo direction.
stevetalbert commented on the blog post Reluctant Acceptance, Not Popularity, May Be Obamacare's Best Hope
More importantly, the Obama Administration really failed when it came to future feelings about any part of healthcare being "taken over", "contolled", "influenced" or whatever you want to call single payor and/or expansion of Medicare for all. All the GOP will point to the fact that they couldn't even handle a website they themselves designed for for is a private insurance exchange not even having anything to do with government. Even though Medicare and Medicaid function now,, people (including me who know better) will definitely have second thoughts about placing my trust in government capabilities when it comes to my healthcare. Sad but true. Same as when the Congressional Democrats led by Pelosi and Reid squandered a GENERATIONAL majority on arguably making things worse.
stevetalbert commented on the blog post GOP Governors' Decision Not to Build Exchanges Was One of the Smartest Political Moves in Years
As a person who feels that the ACA is a bad plan because it doesn't have a public option, extend Medicare buy-in for every adult, and is too weighted in favor of insurance industry,, I think that it was a very good idea to have the federal government in control of the exchanges in states that didn't want it.. plus the more states that the federal exchange covers the closer to a better national system. That way the federal government has a vested interest in making it work. UTTER FAIL. Just like the GENERATIONAL majority that Dems were given in 2008 that was TOTALLY squandered for lack of political will. That's what I think.

"Fuck you, Jason!" the short guy shouts on the air as Aller pulls the microphone away, red-faced. Aller says, "Let's not start a fight, guys." But he continues to ask more questions: "So where's your girlfriend tonight?"
"She's out getting laid," Jason quips, and the short one chases after him.
"Welcome to live radio, ladies and gentlemen!" Aller laughs.
This may not exactly be an exemplar of dignified broadcasting, particularly for a public official, but Aller isn't worried that these kinds of shows will tarnish his or the city's reputation. "I don't think anything I do on the air would embarrass the city or anyone else," he says. "This is 1994."
There comes a moment in every young man's life when he's seized by a dream. For Aller it came in 1953, when he was fourteen and went to a theater in Detroit to see "Mr. Showtime," Georgie Jessel. Jessel was a feisty raconteur and entertainer who was dubbed the "Toastmaster General of the United States" by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. "I went nuts," Aller recalls of that Detroit show, adding that he insisted on waiting backstage to meet Jessel. He got an autographed photo and exchanged a few words. Most people would have been satisfied with that, but not Michael Aller.
Aller kept pestering his father, a wealthy builder, to arrange a meeting with Jessel, until his father invited Jessel to the family country club. (It wouldn't be the first time Aller got what he wanted from his family; as an adopted child, he was showered with love and lavish treatment from both his father and mother.) At the luncheon his fascination with showbiz grew, and he formed an improbable, long-lasting friendship with Jessel. During the summer months over the next two years, he went on the road with the entertainer. Today Aller quickly points out that there was nothing improper about their relationship.
In fact, unlike Aller, Jessel was a ravenous womanizer who often awoke the boy at 2:00 a.m. for a special request. "It's a beautiful night," Jessel would say in the rough-hewn vaudeville style that Aller mimics perfectly decades later. "Come down and sit with the bellman." Then Jessel would sneak up to the hotel room with his female conquest of the night. Jessel even took Aller with him to meet Jack Kennedy at the 1961 presidential inauguration, and took him to the fabled Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles, where he watched Jessel sitting around cracking jokes with the likes of Jack Benny.
Aller's own later effort to make it in show business was short-lived -- but at least it lasted longer than his aborted college career at the University of Miami, where he dropped out after a few hours. Though he had no interest in higher education, his parents didn't want him to be the social pariah of an upper-middle-class Jewish family. And no mere college dorm was good enough for their son, his mother decided, so his parents rented him an apartment in Coral Gables, gave him plenty of cash, Diner's Club and Texaco credit cards, and arranged for him to get meals -- billed to his parents -- at a nearby motel. Aller was set to attend college in high style, an expectation of first-class living he has carried with him ever since, even as his wealth has dwindled in recent years. He was, he admits, a spoiled kid.
Aller went to his first day's classes, discovered that he was assigned $162 worth of books, and decided it wasn't worth the money. He never showed up at classes again, but continued to fool his parents into believing he was busily attending school. When the sham was finally exposed, his parents were naturally upset, but now Aller was free to pursue his real dream: to go to New York and make it in show business.
Here, too, he was supported in fine style by his parents, living at an apartment in the Wyndham Hotel on 58th Street. He failed at his bid to become an entertainer after a prominent TV producer told him bluntly, "You have no talent." He became an agent instead, building up a client base of about 50 small-time performers.
His exuberant personality and constant networking enabled him to meet such celebrities and rising stars as Frankie Avalon, Barbra Streisand, and Joan Rivers. His ultimate coup, though, came when one of his friends who was related to a Vatican-based cardinal enabled him to win an audience with the pope. As Aller tells this name-dropping topper, he was quite nervous when he joined those ushered in to see the great man, and when it came his turn to receive a papal blessing, Aller blurted out, "I'm Jewish!" Pope John XXIII smiled benignly and said, "I know."
While working as an agent, he stumbled by accident into the field that would help make him a wealthy man. Using some of his family's money, he had loaned a friend $25,000, and as part of the deal, a nineteen-bed nursing home in Brooklyn was offered as collateral. Five months later his friend defaulted on the loan, and Aller and his family became wary owners of the business. With his family's backing, he says he gradually acquired a string of eleven nursing homes in Michigan and California. He moved back to Michigan and stayed in the field for about twenty years.

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought. | 1 This is the word of the LORD to Jeremiah concerning the drought: |
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem goeth up. | 2 "Judah mourns, her cities languish; they wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem. |
3 And their nobles send their little ones for water: they come to the pits, they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed, they are confounded, and have covered their heads. | 3 The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads. |
4 Because the ground is chapt, for there hath been no rain on the earth, the ploughmen are ashamed, they cover their heads. | 4 The ground is cracked because there is no rain in the land; the farmers are dismayed and cover their heads. |
5 For the hind also calveth in the field, and forsaketh [its young], because there is no grass. | 5 Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass. |
6 And the wild asses stand on the heights, they snuff up the wind like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage. | 6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights and pant like jackals; their eyesight fails for lack of pasture." |
7 Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou act for thy name's sake; for our backslidings are many -- we have sinned against thee. | 7 Although our sins testify against us, O LORD, do something for the sake of your name. For our backsliding is great; we have sinned against you. |
8 Thou hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a traveller that turneth aside to stay a night? | 8 O Hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, why are you like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays only a night? |
9 Why wilt thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name: leave us not. | 9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? You are among us, O LORD, and we bear your name; do not forsake us! |
10 Thus saith Jehovah to this people: Even so have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet; and Jehovah hath no delight in them: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. | 10 This is what the LORD says about this people: "They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins." |
11 And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. | 11 Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people. |
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer up burnt-offering and oblation, I will not accept them: for I will consume them by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. | 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague." |
13 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; for I will give you assured peace in this place. | 13 But I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, the prophets keep telling them, 'You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.' " |
14 And Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy falsehood in my name; I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, nor spoken unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. | 14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. |
15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed; | 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. |
16 and the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the famine and the sword; and there shall be none to bury them, them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; and I will pour their wickedness upon them. | 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve. |
17 And thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes run down with tears, night and day, and not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. | 17 "Speak this word to them: " 'Let my eyes overflow with tears night and day without ceasing; for my virgin daughter--my people-- has suffered a grievous wound, a crushing blow. |
18 If I go forth into the field, behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, behold them that pine away with famine! For both prophet and priest shall go about into a land that they know not. | 18 If I go into the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I go into the city, I see the ravages of famine. Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they know not.' " |
19 -- Hast thou then utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? Peace is looked for, and there is no good, -- and a time of healing, and behold terror! | 19 Have you rejected Judah completely? Do you despise Zion? Why have you afflicted us so that we cannot be healed? We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there is only terror. |
20 Jehovah, we acknowledge our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee. | 20 O LORD, we acknowledge our wickedness and the guilt of our fathers; we have indeed sinned against you. |
21 For thy name's sake, do not spurn [us], do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. | 21 For the sake of your name do not despise us; do not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your covenant with us and do not break it. |
22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou HE, Jehovah, our God? And we wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things. | 22 Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, O LORD our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this. |

Desktop users can gain access to Google Chrome dev and beta channels to test out new features and fixes; even Chrome OS users are able to do that, leaving behind Android users. Now Google has announced "Chrome Beta channel for phones and tablets on Android 4.0+." The beta channel for phones and tablets now joins our Beta versions of Chrome for Mac, Windows, Linux and Chrome OS.
You can install beta alongside your 'stable' Chrome, so you don't have to worry about using a beta software for work. You can install Google Chrome Beta from this link (don't try to search, you won't find it).
Jason Kersey, Technical Program Manager, Google writes, "Chrome for Android now benefits from all the speed, security and other improvements that have been landing on Chrome's other platforms. For example, in today's Beta update we have improved the Octane performance benchmark on average by 25-30%. In addition, this update includes interesting HTML5 features for developers such as CSS Filters. This is just one step of many towards bringing beautiful experiences to the mobile web."

If it comes outof a taco truck, I'm eating it. Or a taqueria. Cheeseburgers are my favorite, but i have yet to master it!

Tunis, Libya and the Arab "Spring"
By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
Santa Barbara–October 24th–Those of you who have been here for as long as generations, please forgive me, and have patience with me, and grant me your forbearance.
Yesterday (October 23rd) two important events came about over two bordering Islamic North African States.
The most dramatic was the demise of Colonel Khadafy in Libya. Today, the National Transitional Council (المجلس الوطني الإنتقالي ) of the Libyan Revolution scheduled an announcement of the liberation of Tripoli and her hinterlands.
Although it is a great victory of the three so far in the Arab "Spring," it was the bloodiest of those triumphs which, with over 160 claimant groups are currently within the capital, was the costliest; and, thus, is the least likely to succeed by the very fact it was a coup of arms.
Strangely, the three successful regime changes so far of the Arab "Spring" have occurred in North Africa – Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, and they all were Republics whose leadership was descended from the anti-colonial revolutions.
The other grand occurrence of Sunday, October 23rd, was the Tunisian elections. As I have pointed out before, Tunisia's was the first Revolt of the "Spring," and has the best chance of any of those successful so far to develop an Arab (Islamic) democracy. Libya is the least in my humble opinion because of the degree of violence and foreign intervention to which it had to revert for its accomplishment.
It is too early to do much of an exegesis now so soon after the polls over Tunisia, but no egregious reports of irregularities have been reported to me so far, but Tunis has developed a viable civil society despite the years of dictatorship. Unlike its neighbor, Libya, tribal politics are minor. It has come out of its political nightmare as a manageable modern state although with serious challenges.
I expect our modern Punic Realm will do well – not without bumps along the way, though. As I mentioned in two weeks ago, much will depend upon the expertise and support from the West since so much of the wealth of that nation of ten million has been robbed by the last regime. Yet, at the same time, the international financial crisis puts a strain on the deliverance of both material and aid of practical tutelage. Alas, I wish I could be as positive for Benghazi. I only hope that more military intervention will not be required from NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) on that side of the Northern African Sahara.
I would like to commend my colleague, Radwan Masoudi, the Libyan-American founder/Director of the Center of Islam and Democracy in Washington. That think thank has been working on planning an Islamic democracy; so, that they can meld theologically and politically without contradiction. When the time miraculously arose, he had gone back to his native countryside to work with his cultural citizens to help make these elections possible by strengthening the roots of the civil society that already existed there!
V. Postscript

By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
Medford (Ore.)–As chronicler starts out (June 23rd) from Southern Oregon, the news coming from the Middle East is principally from Libya. Although the Colonel is maintaining his fasces, the analysis is that Colonel Khadafy's hold on power is loosening even though the outgoing head of the Arab League has renounced his prior endorsement of NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's) intervention while Italy has herself, a participant in the assault and the former Colonial power there, asserted that the Libyan contest should be halted. On the other hand the Islamist government of Turkey has called (JuJy.3rd) for the Colonel to step down promising material aid to the Benghazi rebels while the Greek, Ankara's traditional "enemies," the Greeks have refused to permit (on the second of this month) the first relief ship's for Gaza to exit Hellenic waters.
The IDT (Israeli Defense Force's )General Sharoni (retired), a supporter of the two-State solution, rejoined, "We should press for solutions by September [when the Palestinians are going to the United Nations – U.N. – for approval for their Statehood]…we have negotiated previously, and we shouldn't have to start at stage one again…We should start negotiating [again] because the clock is ticking." The Israeli position – and even their Left – is that Palestinian Statehood should be through bi-lateral agreement – with the help of external actors — rather than an international dictate. (Your author's opinion is that Tel Aviv has to make just concessions this summer if there would be any hope of mutual agreement; otherwise, it will be Ramallah who will achieve independence solely on their own terms in league with international acclamation!)
Taras Hassan asserted that "… [a] third of [the Jewish] Settlers [in the Occupied Territories] can be brought back] to Israel [itself]." Hasan believes that "…many Israelis do not support the annexation of the West Bank because they [the Palestinians there] would [receive] protection under Hebrew law, and [would have the right to] vote, and [Tel Aviv would]would cease to be [the capital of] a Jewish State."
Sharoni interjected, "…who is the enemy, and who are you [we] defending yourself [ourselves] from?..I am [more] concerned over my nation's isolation…In order to survive we have to become part of the community of nations!" (It is very true that Israel has become a pariah in most of the civilized world!)
Hassan adds: What would happen if the two-State option fails? Major-General Natan Sharoni replies, we "…can't have a one-State alternative… [for the General, it] won't work…because there would be two different peoples living within one State. (The example of the U.S., Canada et al. would counter this argument) "One side or the other would dominate." (Curiously, the progressive Israeli argument – and most recently — it appears that most of their upper military commanders – favor a dual-national conclusion, (but the time might have transpired over peace on those terms. Your commentator still stands behind this domestic path, but, if a justful compromise is not made soon, such a one-State route must be explored!)
Hassan exclaims: It would destroy (the ideology of)Israel!
Jeremy Ben Ami from Washington entered his voice to the call, if "…the issues aren't resolved between the parties involved,..[unfortunately for Jewish Jerusalem]…[and] a U.N. understanding is… made before a [bilateral] arrangement is finalized, it will impact Israel as a sectarian State" negatively, (and the winners demographically would be the Muslims in a one-State solution).
The general stated that "…Common sense should prevail…We have to have a regular [regulated] peace!" He, further, alleged the Israeli (along with the American) bugaboo over Iran was a mere charade.
Hassan remarked that "It is a very sensitive time for the Arab "Spring"… (In fact, your columnist has uttered the success or failure of that "Spring" depends upon the reaction within the Israeli nation! That is why your narrator is dedicating so much of his energy looking at the interior "soul" of the Jewish terrain. Hassan noted, "…American Jews can…influence…opinion in Israel." (Your commentator adds that it, also, is important for liberal American Jews and Muslims to establish better communication to solve the dangers within this most dangerous of international theaters.)
"We [the Hebrews] have to be the initiators!" (This is a very serious issue, though.) Although the negotiations must not be dominated by one side or the other, here, Ms. Hassan is advocating Israeli dominance without any international diplomatic intervention which would bolster the weakened Palestinian positions. This will not work. The negotiations must be between equals, and that is where the international nations – especially the United States because of its history of enablement for the crisis itself – to create an equal "pitch." Taras Hassan declaimed that "Otherwise, we [Tel Aviv shall] only be reacting… It is in Israel's interest to split [divide the land." That is, the liberal Jews' position is a two-State solution to save their State as a Jewish dominated one. It is very different than the Arab (or even the mainstream politically liberal American) vision of a two-State outcome.
Ben Ami "hits it on the nail'' when he says, the "Jewish…State cannot be based on permanent occupation!…" This is a refutation to (former) Prime Minister Sharon's policy of Permanent War which, incidentally, was picked up by the (last U.S.) President George W. Bush's Neo-Conservative advisors who gave the American Republic the tragedy of the Iraq War!
This five-segmented study has become an important one, for it has established a basis for negotiation. Your investigator has already pointed out this composition to two decision-makers in the American government, and he hopes to get their aides to look at it, for there are people on both sides of the Middle Eastern conundrum who could seriously talk to each other along with their neutral international friends in a constructive manner.
Time is running out, and your author has even proposed a Constitutional framework for a one State Solution should it come to that, but he still holds onto a two-State solution — for different reasons than our Israeli colleagues — for the best outcome.
IV. End Game!

Ashland (Ore.)–Your raconteur has found himself in the Siskiyou (Mountains) of Southern Oregon (about ten miles north from the California border).
This charming small city has been short-listed as one of the best "urban" areas in America with the right mix of (nearby) nature (Crater Lake National Park et al. is close) in balance with (Euro-American) culture. This municipality is home to the highest acclaimed Shakespeare Festival in the United States along with other festivals and individual events. Provided one is not working against a deadline, one does not have to be bored here – with Allah (SWT's) awe-inspiring natural landscape during the day, and His arousing beauty of the human mind's creations during the evening!
In the Middle East the vocabulary is stalemate. Libya, Syria and Yemen are in all-out civil war with no end in sight although Colonel Khadafy is "testing the waters" for an amnesty from prosecution if he steps down and to allow polls to determine the will of the people to conclude this status of civil war. It was reported Sunday (the 19th) a horrible bungled NATO (North Atlantic Treaty organization) sortie over the city of Tripoli missed its target slaughtering a large number of human souls. Although your author had originally supported the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty organization's) intervention at the behest of Islamic organizations pressing for the end to these repressive regimes, I must question its methods at this time, for it is doing further damage to the Muslims there who have suffered so much.
On the 15th, the Lower House of the (U.S.) Congress passed a vote of "no confidence" for their support of the Executive's activities in Libya; and, thus, also, of our orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan as well. Curiously, on Saturday (the eighteenth), (U.S.) Secretary of State Robert Gates admitted that the District of Columbia had recently had face-to-face negotiation with the Taliban, too, which is a positive sign towards solving an intractable confusion between the West and a less than attractive faction within Islam itself.
Let it be noted that Barrack Hussein Obama has been the most sensitive of American Chief Executives to Dar al-Islam. He has nearly rectified the mess George W. Bush had created through his criminal aggression and War Crimes against Humanity (especially torture) in Iraq; the Obama Administration has fashioned a reasonable policy for Afghanistan, which mêlée was dumped upon him by the previous Administration when it refused to neutralize a legitimate threat to the Columbian Commonweal (Al-Qaeda) – because it violently and maliciously crashed into the heart of North American Metropolis, and, instead, "W" began to chase imaginary "goblins" elsewhere in the Islamic world (i.e., Iraq).
The current regime in Washington has shown a much greater restraint compared to France and Britain over the Tripolian desert, and the U.S. has served officially in more of a supportive than leadership role. The criticism of Obama in and out of Congress is from the Tea Partyers ("No Nothings"), and disgruntled Leftists who are unable to cope with the real-world; and, therefore, criticize almost anything practical.
(For the American populace of Islam, the bell-weather Representative Keith Ellis should be listened to determine a correct course for those of the faith, for he is a Muslim who has chosen to work within the highest levels of the System, and can guide all of us well!)
In Islamic South Asia, the ill-falling out between the District (Center) and Rawalpindi over the Punjab-related incident of the bin-Laden raid is inanely claimed by ill-trained (U.S.A.) J-School (Journalism School) graduates that the two uneasy long-phased allies—the U.S. and Pakistan – now against the Taliban – and even before the U.S.S.R. (Union of Socialist Soviet Republic) invaded the Afghans — are almost at the point of pugilism is pure rubbish…although the unannounced commando attack next to an Army base near Rawalpindi (and, thereby, Islamabad) against bin-Laden himself has provoked tension that will not go away quickly!
Let us continue, and move to the denouement of the view of what is happening within the Middle Eastern Hebrew State from the perspective of a dissident retired IDF General and a Ministry of "Justice" lawyer with the comments of the Director of a liberal American pro-Israeli group, J-Street, who are seeking a realistically striving for an acceptable peace with justice between our mutual Holy Land's inhabitants (from where Prophet Muhammad (s) made his Night Right from the Spire of Solomon's Temple).
Just this afternoon (the twentieth) the journal, Foreign Affairs, reported that there was a great uneasiness between the Tel Aviv establishment and their military (IDF) over the actual security situation over the Jewish State and their Islamic neighbors – including the "Occupied Territories." General Sharoni
Our discussants, who acknowledged the Palestinians just entitlements, were noticeably at odds with their Prime Minister (Netanyahu's) positions. It was interesting to hear a high-ranking Israeli military officer's comments regarding the defensibility of the pre-1967 borders from the perspective of his homeland. In his estimation, they are eminently defendable from his military view: "Formerly, we were threatened by the surrounding nation-States. Now that is not the case [they've made peace and/or understanding with their neighbors]. Today, the threat is terrorism, and having unsecured borders makes it hard for us to defend ourselves!" In the end, this interpretation of their security counters his government's claim that the Obama proposed borders are indefensible, and forces Tel Aviv to continue their policy of "unending War" which in the end is unsustainable. (It, also, demonstrates that the contemporaneous rightist establishment is more concerned with founding a "greater" Israel which is a dangerous policy both to their dominantly Islamic neighbors.)
Ms. Hassan of Justice; therefore, urges all of us (Jews, Muslims and Christians, etc. alike) to request (our governments) to support the Two-State Solution as the only workable resolution!
The American-Jewish leader on the call, Jeremy Ben-Ami, rejoined his recommendation that the American Jewish Community support this resolution within the Halls of Congress, and to explain their assessment to their co-religionist landzmen! (Your critic behind the computer has advocated the best allies for American Muslims are progressive American Jews, for they have had to go through many of the same things American Islamic citizens/residents to become accepted on this Continent, and you must get to know each other better to build avenues for communication between each of your communities if you, personally, are willing to do so. Liberal American Jews and Muslims can do much to walk together to change things around in Washington for all of us born from Abraham's seed! That is, we, personally, must resolve to be part of the resolution. We have agency!
There is still one more section to go before the final analysis and conclusions can be made from this rich experience your reporter stumbled upon. Hopefully, it will provide one of many possible scenarios for discussion.

A few years ago, I used to play with a mod/mutator that added a powerup on a random pathnode and when a player got it, it gave him/her shield-belt, amplifier and some other power and it toggled an event and mostly it was that guy against everyone else... and I think it added an halo or something to the one with the powerup. When that godlike player was killed, the powerup was dropped or spawned somewhere else. I don't remember if it was Ut2k4 or Ut99. What was it?

John. I got the article and read every word of it. It was very interesting but is a world I haven't ventured into yet - the Amazon reviews. I suppose it is to be expected that given the privilege of critiquing someone elses work pettiness will come into play if one can be anonymous. Glad you haven't been subject to any of that. |
Glad you got it without a glitch. Yes, I've been lucky -- so far. |

I once posted a very critical review of a book on eastern trees on amazon.com, and gave it a low rating. I credited the author with competence in his subject, but found the book poorly organized, difficult to use, and very unattractive, with awful photos. The author actually emailed me saying that some favorable reviews he had received discredited my review. So you can get flak for honest reviews if they don't come out the way the author wants them too -- but that's part of the game, isn't it? |

Alliance for Paired Donation – Saving Lives through Kidney Paired Donation
More than 88,000 people in America are waiting for a kidney transplant; sadly, about 12 of these patients die every day because there aren't enough donors. Many kidney patients have someone who is willing to donate, but because of immune system or blood type incompatibilities, they are not able to give a kidney to their loved one.
The Alliance for Paired Donation can help. Kidney paired donation matches one incompatible donor/recipient pair to another pair in the same situation, so that the donor of the first pair gives to the recipient of the second, and vice versa. In other words, the two pairs swap kidneys . APD has also pioneered a new way of using altruistic, or good Samaritan, donors, so that the transplants no longer have to be performed simultaneously. Non-simultaneous Extended Altruistic Donor Chains (NEAD Chains ) allow donors to "pay it forward" after their loved one receives a transplant.

Beware of misleading information available on the internet, and find a reputable source of information. The article below will lay out some great tips you can use for multilevel marketing that are current, accurate and very helpful.
Once you have made up your mind to begin a campaign in MLM, you need to think about what type of compensation package you, as well as the people you are working with, might receive. Knowing the compensation end of your MLM agreement will determine if your time is being spent well or if you need to consider other options.
Multi-level marketing is like a game wherein you try to compete in signing the most people. Rather, try and visualize how your work helps other people and go from there.
Many think that quantity will result in more sales in multi-level marketing; however, it has been proven that quality beats quantity every time. One dedicated worker who cultivates her own downline and works hard for her and your profit, is worth any number of no-shows.
When developing a multilevel marketing strategy, one must be able to visualize his or her success. This might sound general, but when you are doing multi-level marketing, looking forward is crucial to helping your network grow larger. A positive mental outlook is a great tool when dealing with network marketing.
While multi-level marketing, you are bound to make mistakes so you must learn from these at all times. Do not let an error pass without noting it and figuring out what happened. Understanding your mistakes can help you to avoid making them again in the future, and helps you narrow your focus on what does work.
If you have a unique and different niche you might not know who to market to or know where to find the people who might be interested. The most important goal is for you to get your product out there so your potential clients can make a decision for themselves.
When putting together your goals for an effective network marketing strategy, write them down on a board that you can hang somewhere. Consider all of the things that you want to accomplish with your business. Do you want material things like a fancy car, huge home or an opulent yacht?
Encourage your contacts to liberally express their views, and listen closely to what they have to say. If you strive to learn the most about them by way of social media, blogs or other means of contact, you will be better positioned to market your products. if you know a lot about your target market, their inner hopes and dreams, you can market to them more easily.
It is said we should calculate what we spend every month and multiply it by nine to see how much we will need in the case of an emergency. You can get that money through multi-level marketing.
Make small, specific goals to see the most enduring results. You still need to plan your network marketing activities in 90 day cycles, even if you have a 5 year plan. By doing this, you are helping your future plans.
Monthly Spending
Create a monthly spending budget for your multi-level marketing business. This will help you to determine realistic monthly spending limits for your business. Unless you are prepared to create a detailed, reasonable budget, you will have ongoing problems earning adequate profits.
You should aim to copy success you have at every single opportunity you can find. Analyze what people in your upline, and the best performers in your organization have been doing. See what they do and adopt the same attitudes that brought them success. Imitating the best of the best can quickly turn you into one of them. There is much to learn from our own mistakes, and a lot of guidance to receive from observing the various successes of others.
By utilizing the guidance in the preceding paragraphs, you can by fully prepared to execute a winning multi-level marketing strategy. By using the tactics in this article, there is a good chance you will be successful.

Two dead in broadside crash in Berthoud
1 victim is from Denver
BERTHOUD, Colo. -
Two people were killed Friday night in a two-car crash in Berthoud.
Police said the crash happened just after 9 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 287 and County Road 8.
Police said a 1994 Toyota Corolla, driven by an 18-year-old Denver woman was traveling southbound on Highway 287 and turned left onto County Road 8 in front of a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe. The two vehicles collided, ejecting one of three passengers from the Tahoe who was not wearing a seat belt.
The 18-year-old female driver of the Corolla and a 20-year-old male passenger from Silt, Colo., died as a result of the crash.
The impact knocked the Tahoe into a nearby field, about 200 feet off the road. Four people in that vehicle received minor injuries.
"It is not believed that drugs or alcohol were involved by the driver of the Tahoe, but may have been a factor with the driver of the Corolla," police said in a news release.
The investigation was continuing Saturday and the names of the two victims have not yet been released.

2014 Toyota Vios
- By Admin
- 5 August, 2013
- No Comments
Here you can find all the info on the new 2014 Toyota Vios, including pricing details, interior and exterior design, release date and other details. The car was introduced at the 2013 Bangkok Auto Show. It is also known as Yaris in markets of some countries.
Toyota Company has invested a lot of effort into 2014 Vios from whom much is expected in the future. It is based on its predecessor with a host of enhancements to the exterior and interior. With this new model, Toyota is planning to dominate the Asian market first and then the whole world.
The new Vios is considered (internationally, at least) as a 4th generation model, though locally this is the 3rd generation version. The car itself is a subcompact sedan, slotting in just under the Toyota Corolla Altis.
It will be manufactured at the automaker's Gateway Plant, Chachoengsao in Thailand, and will be exported to more than 80 countries. Targeted markets are Indonesia, Thailand, China, Brazil, as well as USA and Europe. The 2014 Vios will not be produced in India, as Toyota Kirloskar Motor APM in India has informed that there are no new products until 2015.
Designed to appeal to first time car buyers, the Toyota Vios 2014 has familiar styling that echoes the Verso and Yaris. The entry-level model has a no-frills appearance, but higher-end variants are distinguished by projector beam headlights, chrome trim and 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. Overall, the model measures 4410mm long, 1700mm wide and 1475mm tall with a wheelbase that spans 2,550mm.
For rear lights this vehicle has been decorated with LED as well as a new bumper which adds a muscular impression on New Vios. The interior of New Vios is also not to be outdone. Dashboard, instrument panel, meter cluster and steering wheel also had a refresher.
Despite being aimed at the lower end of the market, the vehicle has a stylish cabin with decent materials. Notable highlights include attractive gauges, metallic accents and a four-speaker audio system with MP3 capabilities, USB and AUX connections. It also comes with Sophisticated and Exceptional accessories.
In terms of engines, the Vios retains the same powerplants from the previous generation, with the Base, J, and E grades getting the 2NZ-FE 1.3L DOHC 16-valve inline-4 VVT-i engine. The 1299cc engine makes 85 PS and 122 Nm of torque, and can be matched with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.
The G grades retain the 1NZ-FE 1.5L DOHC 16-valve inline-4 VVT-i engine that makes 107 PS and 142 Newton meters. A 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual are the transmission choices, the same as before.
The deputy chief engineer for the Vios project, Suzuki-san, stated that the new Vios has had a reworked body structure for better rigidity, better aerodynamics, and a reworked suspension. We'll find out later on how the new Vios drives.
For safety, all grades now get dual airbags including the 1.3 Base grades, along with ELR seatbelts for all passengers. Foglamps, ABS, EBD and the alarm system become standard with the E grades and higher.
The all new Vios will be sold in 6 variants, and will be made available in Freedom White, Silver Metallic, Gray Metallic, Black, Red Mica Metallic, Dark Brown Mica Metallic and Orange Metallic. It directly competes with the Honda City, the Hyundai Accent, the Kia Rio, the Nissan Almera, the Chevrolet Sonic sedan, the Ford Fiesta sedan, the Mazda2 sedan, and the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 (when it arrives).
For the prices, TMP was kind enough to provide us with a price list for the six variants that will be available to the public come launch time:
1.3 Base – P592,000

Ryan Tannehill is a highly-touted rookie quarterback who was a top 10 pick, and therefore, confidence is inherent. Every movie about high school or college football that I've ever watched tells me that quarterbacks land hot girls, get special treatment from teachers, and they're generally pampered and told that all the greatest things in this world can be theirs.
They also say lines that make people who enjoy teen movies yell "booyah!' or something, and their characters have accents that aren't clichéd whatsoever…
A truly rich cultural experience.
Tannehill isn't nearly as good looking as James Van der Beek, but that hasn't stopped him from wanting to start all of the games. Tannehill missed the first two days of Dolphins training camp due to a brief contract holdout before he had his first full practice yesterday, and he told ESPN's James Walker that despite his absence and the two veterans ahead of him on the Dolphins' QB depth chart (David Garrard and Matt Moore), he still thinks he can start.
"I feel like I'm in it," Tannehill said. "Maybe I am being naïve, but the coaches haven't given me any indication that I'm not, so I'm going to go out there every day and do my best to get better every day and hopefully win the job."
No, you're not being naive, Ryan. You're just being confident, and that's the kind of thing that gets the narrative creators frothing with delight as they drool over another young quarterback who can win, or probably knows how to win. Tannehill may be a fine quarterback sometime very soon, and he can and should do everything in his power to win the Dolphins' starting job.
But if new head coach Joe Philbin and offensive coordinator Mike Sherman have any sense whatsoever, they won't let Tannehill anywhere near a football in Week 1. Seriously, no footballs. Ban him from the mere possession of the one item that makes playing a game of football possible.
We could linger over concerns about Tannehill's lack of starting experience after he completed just one full season as a starter at Texas A&M. But that's a crumbling bridge over rough waters that's long since been crossed. If the Dolphins were confident enough to draft Tannehill at eighth overall when others had him as a late-round pick at best, they're also confident enough to cast him as the quarterback of their offense for the next decade. Hopefully.
What's an even greater concern here is the fate of a similarly touted QB just down the road (well, up technically, way up) in Jacksonville who still really sucks. His name is Blaine Gabbert, and he's still a disappointment so far this year in training camp after being a wreck last year. But arguably, that's not entirely his fault, and if Tannehill starts immediately, the elements are in place for his 2012 story to have a similar ending.
It's been Gabbert who's looked petrified in the pocket, and it's been Gabbert who's throws have been wayward after he completed a very Tebowian 50.8 percent of his passes last year for only 5.4 yards per attempt. That's a whole lot of suck.
But it was the Jaguars and former head coach Jack Del Rio who kept trotting out an obviously shaken young quarterback who even more obviously wasn't ready. He made 14 starts, and he had the worst passer rating in the league at 65.4. He was left to be Jacksonville's sacrificial lamb because, well, who the hell else was going to do it?
My mind is still numb due to the lingering affects of the Jaguars releasing Garrard near the end of training camp, leaving only the rookie Gabbert and Luke McCown at the most important offensive position. Once the McCown implosion was officially complete after just one game, Gabbert was left to attempt completions with Jason Hill and Mike Thomas as his leading targets split out wide, thus compounding the suckiness.
Tannehill's situation isn't much better. Yes, Cam Newton was brilliant last year. Historically brilliant, but he had Steve Smith, and a very productive TE tandem between Jeremy Shockey and Greg Olsen. And sure, Andy Dalton was kind of good too, but he had a dynamic rookie in A.J. Green, the speedy Jerome Simpson, and Jermaine Gresham as a reliable outlet.
Who does Tannehill have? Chad Johnson, Davone Bess, Brian Hartline, and Legedu Naanee among others. Translation: a veteran who thinks he's a monster after a 15-catch season, and three other No. 3 wide receivers on any other respectable depth chart. Confident is swell, Ryan, but reality should always trump your happy thoughts.
At best, Tannehill will be given the Jake Locker treatment this year, and only called upon after an injury. At worst, he should start eight games since his surrounding environment in Miami is far more likely to add to recent potentially shattering first-season failures (see: Gabbert, and Christian Ponder).

It's so tempting to make jokes about this, but it's also a truly fucked up situation: As Al Jazeera reports, a recent Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA's Guantanamo Bay prison reveals that the CIA has recently used music as one torture instrument among many. The report centers on the Saudi prisoner Zain Abidin Mohammed Husain Abu Zubaydah, who was used as a torture guinea pig and subjected to 10 different forms of enhanced interrogation, even though he's still never been charged with anything. According to the report, Abu Zubaydah was stuffed into a dog crate, with his wrists shackled, for weeks at a time, and "subjected to an endless loop of loud music." Whatever your opinions of Anthony Kiedis's scat-rapping, this seems like no way to treat a human being. Trent Reznor recently spoke out against his music being used as a torture device; don't be surprised if the Chili Peppers do something similar.
UPDATE: Drummer Chad Smith learns about the story from a TMZ cameraman, and responds…
