I agree with more gamemodes/maps the rest I don't really care much for.
their was a red post already that riot may be releasing new map skins,etc for the game after season 2 ends. the website surrender@20 already had a post about this. right now riot is focusing on the closing of season 2. after that alot of things are gonna start changing again and we can expect more things. i like how the game is setup now but im interested to see what they will bring out in the near future.
Dodo Torpedo
You do know that people STILL play the original DOTA right? It only had one map and so does DOTA2 and they are insanely popular. Why? Because its simple. Big square, large roads going up and down and one going down the middle with a valley of sorts going diagonally across the map. You act like this is call of duty.
Call of duty does not have strategy or thought. You arrive on a new map and commence shooting the other guy in the face. This game has a little more nuance. People still play the original Dota because companies like Riot just copied that gamestyle and stopped. They havn't actually done any development of their own, which honestly is laughable, because they've grown so much as a company. I dont know though, if Riot has troubles releasing a patch without breaking ranked solo queue, it really might be difficult for them to release whole new maps with weather effects and the such. Maybe this is a question of getting rid of the incompetent coders and hiring some people who actually know what they're doing. Don't know. Point is, the argument that people still play Dota is exacting evidence of why Riot's failing on the grand scheme of things. No one should still be on that original mod. No one. They should all be here.
You say get rid of incompetent coders tell me how many games do you know that every patch is 100% perfect, none. Could you do better at programming this game or getting it fixed after a patch come out and there's an unexpected bug you didn't see on the PBE, probably not so don't say they're incompetent. You say Summoner's Rift is boring because it's the same game everytime it's not there are different champs everytime you play. The enemy team and even your team can have a different thought on how to win. The pro teams when they scrim they do that to practice new strategies. You think 1 map means they're being lazy and not wanting to progress. Yes HoN has more maps but tell me what is the one that is actually competitive and played most the one most like DotA, because its well known. Sorry for wall of text just my 2 cents on this thread.
Other games I've played like WoW, Anarchy Online, Rumble Fighter, Battlefield Heroes, hell, even Runescape, didn't experience "unexpected difficulties" that they had to investigate, especially after patches as minor as this game receives (revised champion portraits.) Yes, I'm goddamn calling out full-blown programmer incompetence when they can't even proofread their code for issues. I hold professionals who work full-time on software to a higher standard than you apparently. Which is interesting. The developers ARE lazy. They are NOT releasing content. HoN only recently went free - that's just one factor as to why its doing a little worser than this game. And I seriously doubt that these multiple maps that you mention are actually quality products. I guess that's a different dicussion. In any case, I'm extremely perplexed that you would argue for stagnation as opposed to progress. Tell me, do you oppose all progress in general? Do you limit yourself to the video game industry? Or just this game? A little curious about this nihilistic philosophy you seem to have bought into.
The thing many people playing this game really don't seem to know is that Summer's Rift, better know as DOTA, has been around for more than 10 years now, I believe. Summer's Rift is Riot's take on DOTA. This one map has been growing in popularity for 10 years and doesn't seem to be giving up any time soon. Here is a link to the history of DOTA on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnQfdSEqGDA

Duodenal Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma in a Celiac PatientPisello F. · Geraci G. · Li Volsi F. · Stassi F. · Modica G. · Sciumè C.aSection of General and Thoracic Surgery and bService of Surgical Endoscopy, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy |
Celiac disease results from damage to the small intestinal mucosa due to an inappropriate immune response to a cereal protein. Long-standing or 'refractory' celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of autoimmunity and malignancy. We produced a brief literature review starting from a case of duodenal cancer in a celiac patient. The patient with an history of celiac disease since six months presented with acute manifestation of gastric outlet syndrome. A duodenal stricture was diagnosed at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and confirmed by abdominal computed tomography. He was successfully treated by segmental duodenal resection. In the resected specimens, the diagnosis was duodenal signet cell adenocarcinoma. 6-month follow-up is uneventful. Primary carcinoma of the duodenum is rare (duodenal adenocarcinoma accounts for less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal cancers and 30–45% of small intestinal cancers). Some patients with duodenal carcinoma are potentially curable by surgery, but conflicting opinions exist on the factors influencing the survival rate and on surgical treatment as the gold standard. Nevertheless, the goal in surgical treatment is to achieve clear margins. At present, surgical resection (pancreaticoduodenectomy or pancreas-sparing duodenal segmental resection) is the only available option for cure of this disease.

"Nahkon Si Thammarat - by-passed on the way" Nakhon Si Thammarat by wondersF
Nakhon Si Thammarat Travel Guide: 45 reviews and 232 photos
Nahkon Si Thammarat is the largest province in south Thailand with a long coast line and well forested interior.
The territory is hilly, with high mountains of limestone. The environment was so conducive for living and hiding, that it was no wonder that until the late 1980's, many places in the province were still the hotbed for communist insurgents. This hilly terrain also gave the province a good share of forest with waterfalls and nature parks.
These conditions accounted for long history of inhabitation, the province can boast of having 9 ancient Buddhist temples, 3 Indian temples, 3 monasteries, pagodas, city walls, monument, 12 waterfalls [few in National Parks] and at least 3 stretches of beach.
As for the provincial capital Nahkon itself, it is a township in the shape of a long rectangle with the trunk road dividing the town into 2 parts, the historical section and the modern living quarters. Most of the population stays on the modern eastern half. There were several rural villages on the coast and prawn farming became a major industry for the province.
The resources of the Thai government were spent to enhance neighboring provinces like Songkla and Surat Thani which were already drawing in huge crowd. The way I like it that they left Nahkon alone to the locals. For those who has a preference for outdoor life, cultural and historical sites, I am sure will find this province an ideal place to spend some weeks.
Personally, I prefer staying in hotel located in the other half, the old part of town. Another long main street that runs parallel with the trunk road. My impression was that this place may looked like a one street town. Not really after all it was urban. Then all the interesting spots coincidentally located along this street were within walking distances. Life here, especially the northern section of this street was crowded, the rest of the section, traffic was tolerable.
Once out of town, there were the places with waterfalls that I like and the National park with a respectable level of birds life. Of lasting impression for me, was that the business here, catering for locals were not exposed to outside influences. That had kept living cost low.
This province had its traces of Srivijaya's influence, spread over from Surat Thani. Till today has a low Muslim population and traveler can be confident that the threat of unrest read about in the southern states less imminent.
Another personal reason why I favored staying in this city was the fact that once I crossed over from touristy Samui Island, this was one place I can get food I liked. One of many reasons that I developed a liking for this province.
- Pros:a compact city - all within walking distance
- Cons:confined to pious locals and waterfalls hunter
- In a nutshell:Good quiet stay, to do causal wandering around

Amos Oz, the most translated Israeli novelist, told The New York Times on Monday that the Palestinian right of return is a "euphemism for the liquidation of Israel."In an interview with the Times's Roger Cohen, Oz said that a two state solution is the only answer. "Reality now compels a compromise — and compromises are unhappy, there is no such thing as a happy compromise," the author said.Speaking about the right of return, Oz said that even for one with dovish views, the move is "out of the question. Refugees must be resettled in the future state of Palestine, not Israel." On the recent elections, the Israeli writer unabashedly labeled Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu a "coward," opting instead to muse over the "phenomenon" of Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid. "It is a legitimate desire even if it tends to ignore fundamental issues, like the conflict with the Arabs. I don't know if Lapid has ideas and I'm not sure he knows. What Lapid will do is a mystery not just to me — it is probably a mystery to him!" Oz claimed.

Hey guys my name is Michael Ferster.
I am currently a 4th year media arts major at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, majoring specifically in 3d Animation. I also have passions for industrial design/ and also Marketing and business (specifically online). I work as a graphic designer and on the side I do 3d animation/modeling contract jobs for rich oil companies.
My favorite games have been J-RPG's ever since FF1. I also play way too much DoTA, if anyone wants a match me and my friends hang out in the channel "tex" in us west on some evenings. I used to play a lot of fps' back in the day (Which was a Wednesday, btw) but not so much anymore.
Favourite games:
Chrono trigger
Megaten games
Final Fantasy games
Defense of the Ancients
If you have any questions about doing stuff in spore or 3d modeling in general feel free to ask, and I will hopefully be able to steer you in the right direction in the least.

Persona Movie Trailer Finished!
on 04.26.2009
Hey all,
I finished my Persona movie trailer/short movie for all to enjoy!
check it out! click High Quality for optimum viewing
Developer Diary: Persona Live Action "Short Film" pt.4 or: Post Production is.... Almost Done!
on 03.30.2009
Hey all,
Here is a still to get things rolling.
This is from the part of the short where a shadow's mask seeps out of a locker as the shadow chases the protagonist.
So as you can see, over the last few weeks Ive been working on the effects shots for my short film, and its actually going quite well. I am quite pleased with the outcome of most of the effects despite this being the first time I have made a project of this magnitude.
I am currently working on the final shot of the short, where the persona rises from the main character as he is being summoned. My persona design has a bunch of scarf like pieces, so I have been doing a few cloth simulations to make it look realistic and well .awesome.
You can see one of these simulations below.
After the effects shots are complete I will be in the final editing stage followed by the marketing stage,
where I will be researching different networks and avenues on which to debut my project.
I am on schedule to complete this project for the 20th for my course work, but I will probably release it to the public at the end of the month. This gives me the opportunity to retouch some shots after I get some feedback from my peers and Instructors.
The next post will be in a few weeks prior to the release.

Developer Diary: Persona Live Action "Short Film" pt.3 or: Filming is done!
on 03.11.2009
Hey Everyone,
It's been quite a long time since the last post, however that doesn't mean I haven't been busy! My brothers and I finished all the filming last weekend in 4 hours. We had a few hiccups along the way involving security and blocking access to the fire escape, but other than that it went pretty smoothly.
I decided that I would star in the film as the main character, as it seemed it would be the best choice in terms of convenience. However through this process I have learned that I am a terrible actor, but thanks to the magic wonders of editing the performance ended up pretty decent in the raw footage.
I just finished the rough edit of the raw footage and have just begun the initial composting work for the card shattering into glass effect when the character summons his persona.
I created a still for you guys to enjoy.
As for the coming weeks, I will be fleshing out the rest of the effects shots. I have decided to add a few more effects than I originally intended for this project, but I don't think it will affect my time line too much. I am shooting to have this project done by the 24th but It will probably be a few weeks longer than that, depending if my other classes take too much of my time.
Until next time!

Developer Diary: Persona Live action trailer pt.2
on 02.11.2009
Welcome to part 2!
Over the last week I have been reworking some of my concepts a little as I have been working on the storyboards for my short film. They are pretty rough at the moment once I redo them to something that is actually recognizable to everyone else I will post them. I have been doing some location scouting and have decided to shoot the film in my school (Alberta College of Art and Design) for both ease in proximity to the green screen and also the look fits my image.
Some of the scouting location shots are below.\
Apart from working on location and story boarding, I have been doing some preliminary model and texturing work on the shadow's mask that will make it's appearance in my short film.
The model is almost done I think, I might clean it up a bit more. The texture on the other hand is very early in development is something I just slapped on pretty quickly.
Well until next time!

10 things you didn't know about Sylphx
on 02.01.2009
I've been using the same screen name for 12 years, Quake 2 rocket arena all the way!
I have been to every continent sans Antarctica, and over the course of my life i have "lived" in five different countries around the world. Those countries being Scotland, Norway, Indonesia, Mexico, and finally Canada. My Dad works in oil and was an expatriate for the first third of my life until we finally settled in Calgary where I have been living for the last 15 years. (I used to have a bitchin Scottish accent for the first few years of my life, which has now faded away only to be witnessed from home movies)
I'm planning on moving to Japan in 2010 through the JET exchange program for a year or more depending if I like it or not. I think it will be a good change in lifestyle and I hope to level up in my surfing skills while I'm over there. Thinking of trying for a town near Kyushu and Chiba.
. Family is very important to me. My brothers are "ballin' as fuck" and are no doubt one of the most important parts of my life. When we are all together most of the conversation is constantly interjected with random movie quotes such as "Let's see if these bastards can do 90" or "It's so early... can we get some coffee or somesing." I don't know where I would be without my brothers.
. I go to Art School but I can't stand most of the art students. Most of them are 1 dimensional, ignorant, "I hate all things capitalist" douche bags. I do however connect with the instructors though because they seem to have gotten over this sentiment. Yay for graduation in 3 months.
I watch an unhealthy amount of Japanese tv show clips on youtube. My personal favourites right now is a series called Ayaka's Surprise English Lesson. View below! share my obsession get addicted! before you know it you will have watched 20 different segments!
I shower in the dark..... What were you expecting an explanation?
I love the residual smell of chlorine on the skin after one goes swimming in the swimming pool, I will honestly just put my hand to my nose for a good 10 minutes afterward whenever I go swimming or go in a hot tub.
My favourite food is a good old fashioned cheeseburger, straight up. Since I can't really think of anything else to extrapolate, did you know that Beethoven's favourite food was Macaroni and cheese?
I'm planning on driving down to PAX this year with Funktastic, so yoj1mbo since I don't really know you lets get some tequila shots!
Developer Diary: Persona Live action trailer pt.1
on 01.31.2009
Hey Guys,
So after slaving my way through 4 years of art school I decided for my graduating project I wanted to do something really awesome, challenging, and fun. I have recently finished playing through Persona 4 and have become inspired to create a high production value movie trailer based on the series. I don't expect this project to be easy by any means, but I hope to learn a lot and to share my experiences with everyone.
So with that in mind I have decided to post the development of my project into a series of blog posts that show what I'm currently working on right now and what I will be doing next. I am pretty open to any suggestions you guys may have so if you think you have a great idea that would enhance my project feel free to spill it out.
With that said for my first post I am going to post the plot synopsis of the trailer
Persona Teaser Project Synopsis:
My project is to create a high production value movie trailer set in the world of the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona video game series by incorporating the different identifiable elements that make up the awakening scenes found in the video games. This project is only a teaser what if scenario, It isnt my intention to make a full length film based on the persona series at this time.
An example of an "awakening" scene
Plot Synopsis:
A High School student wearing a school uniform is seen being chased down a dark hallway, as the student traverses down the hallway, his surroundings become warped and consumed by dark shadows. Lights begin to flicker and later are consumed by the darkness. The audience isnt able to directly see what is chasing the protagonist but there are visible effects of the hidden villain in the form of footsteps that break the floor and objects that are pushed over as he chases the protagonist. The chase progresses to the point where the character gets to a dead end and cant escape further.
The character turns around to see the darkness (in the form of shadowy tendrils) trapping him as it seeps down the hall way. Its at this point where we briefly see the form of the antagonist as an iconic blue mask of the series seeps its way to the surface of the shadow. We see the protagonists face succumbed by distress and horror. As the camera focuses on his face a tarot card (a reoccurring thematic object to the series) materializes and floats in a spinning downward motion in front of the protagonists face.
The card lands in the character's hand and his disposition suddenly changes to that of a smile and confidence. The camera then focuses on the close up of the characters lips saying the word persona. Suddenly a bright blue light surrounds the character; the card and an area behind the characters head erupt into shards of glowing blue glass, with the ambiguous figure of the characters persona showing up behind him. The scene cuts to black as the title Persona fades on the screen.
Element breakdown:
This project incorporates live action film with 3D animation and After Effects elements to create the narrative and supernatural elements present in the various scenes.
3D elements:
- Glass shattering effect
- Shadow antagonists mask
- The persona as it rises from the protagonist
- Broken floor footsteps
- Floating tarot card
After Effects elements:
- Encroaching shadow in hallway
- Shadow tendrils
- Glass shattering effect (compositing)
- Persona rising (compositing)
- Broken floor footsteps (compositing)
- Floating tarot card (compositing)
What I'm working on next:
This week I'll be working on the storyboards for the film and starting some of the special effects.
Expect a new post next week. Also, does anyone know how to upload video files? I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is a little something I've been working on.

Hi - I like this - night detail is great! Congratulations on the win also
Amazing captures!
Really interesting challenge!! Glad I saw it while voting was open.
I had no idea you could do something dramatic with steel wool. I now know have something fun to do this summer sometime thanks to this challenge idea. Thank you!
I'd like to thank all the entrants. I enjoyed this challenge and hope to try doing long exposures like this later this year.
Congratulations on the win. This is just lovely.
I think it is really difficult to keep the focus of a fast moving object. This is nicely done. Congratulations on 1st place also!
very nice!
Nice!!! Catching a reflection is a plus! Great photo!!!
I am amazed at the eye - more complicated than I thought. Congrats on the win here. It's a great photo!
grayowl: Would you increase? The challenge has been filled up as stated in the additional rule.
duh... I mean entries that did not have slow enough shutter speeds.
grayowl: Would you increase? The challenge has been filled up as stated in the additional rule.
I will add 10 more slots tomorrow and at the same time I will DQ those entries that have slower shutter speeds than required.
For those reviewing the entries, There are a couple with no shutter speed, and a couple that are less than the 1/4 minimum. I've given these entrants time to re-enter and I am checking the actual shutter speeds where missing.
Since the challenge is full I didn't want to DQ without giving them each a chance at a re-entry.
gfa5775: Hi Barb,
Can you clarify the minimum time, is it 25 seconds or .25 seconds as in 1/4 second? It is hard to tell if the decimal point is for the min abbreviation or meant as a fraction.
Sorry, I see what you mean. The minimum is 1/4 second for this challenge.
Good luck!
This says, old , forgotten and not thrown away. Nicely composed photo here. congratulations on the runner up spot. I think the top 3 were all contenders.
Classic, and well executed. Congratulations on a win here!
I found this to be most interesting. Thanks for entering something unique like this.
Great challenge… I spend last summer in that area, and can't wait to see all the entries here because the area was breathtaking, plus I took a wrong turn and missed Bryce.
Pretty impressive photo Stevie Boy!

The Gospel of John reports that early in Jesus' public ministry he entered Jerusalem's temple, got angry at its ungodly commercialism in selling animals there (which should have been outside), and made a whip to expel those merchants and moneychangers (John 2.13-16). Yet, all three synoptic gospels report a similar incident at the end of Jesus' ministry, during Passion Week (Matt 21.12-13; Mark 11.15-18; Luke 19.45-48). Did Jesus "cleanse the temple" on two separate occasions? That's what a compa … [Read more...]

Anthropology, the Intermediate State, and Sheol/Hades
Most Christians believe that the human soul is immortal and that when they die their soul goes to heaven to enjoy conscious bliss. The foremost Bible texts they cite for support are 2 Cor 5.1-8 and Phil 2.21-23; others are 1 Th 3.13; 1 Pt 3.18; Rev 6.9-10. Like most Christians, this is what I was taught, and I believed it for nearly thirty years.But this is not what the Bible teaches or the early Christians believed. Paul says only God possesses immortality (1 Th 1.17; 6.16). Famed William … [Read more...]
Saying Christ Is God in the Fourth Gospel Misunderstands that Spiritual Gospel
Nearly all Christians have believed Jesus is God. Scholars call them "traditionalists." And most scholars claim that the foremost New Testament (NT) book that identifies Jesus as God is the Gospel of John. It contains the two most formidable NT texts that have been interpreted as declaring that Jesus is God. They are John 1.1 and 20.28.Even liberal and historical-critical NT scholars, such as those of the Jesus Seminar, assert that the Gospel of John presents Jesus as God.

A bunch of PGA TOUR pros got caught in "the bear trap" yesterday. It was the final round of the Honda Classic on the Champions Course at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. So, the real winner was the bear trap.This golf course was designed by Jack Nicklaus. It's a good track, especially its last four holes: 15, 16, 17, and 18. They are called "the bear trap" because of Jack's nickname--The Golden Bear. Watching this tournament on television, the commentators kept telling … [Read more...]
Houdini Almost Won at Golf

Is Israel a Jewish State? Better Yet, What is the Land of Israel?
Recently, a group of Israeli Jewish lobbyists have been trying to get the Knesset for the first time to declare Israel "a Jewish state." And Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding that in the U.S.-brokered peace process the Palestinian Authority acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state. Concerning Israel, he said in a speech this week, "This is the Jewish land. This is the Jewish state." So, Netanyahu identifies the State of Israel with the land Israel possesses. (That land should n … [Read more...]

1 The Long War Journal: Another IMU 'weapons facilitator' captured in northern Afghanistan
Written by Patrick Megahan & Bill Roggio on November 26, 2012 9:35 AM to 1 The Long War Journal
Available online at: http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2012/11/another_imu_weapons.php
Afghan and Coalition forces captured a "weapons facilitator" from the al Qaeda-linked Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan during an operation in Kwajah district in Afghanistan's Takhar province yesterday.
The International Security Assistance Force reported that the facilitator "is believed to have purchased rifles, machine guns, mortar systems and fertilizer for building IEDs to conduct attacks on Afghan and Coalition forces" in Takhar province. ISAF also told The Long War Journal that the detainee was "an Afghan national of Uzbek descent." ISAF would not disclose where the IMU facilitator was obtaining the weapons and explosive materials.
This is the third reported capture of an IMU "weapons facilitator" this month, and the 36th raid targeting IMU this year, according to an investigation by The Long War Journal. The vast majority of these raids have been conducted in northern Afghanistan, a hotbed for IMU operations.
The last reported raid took place on Nov. 11 in Kunduz province, when ISAF captured a senior IMU "weapons facilitator." That raid followed five days after the capture of another IMU operative, which occurred during the first raid targeting a member of the al Qaeda-linked group in almost a month.
ISAF underreporting of Coalition raids?
A Long War Journal study of ISAF raids targeting al Qaeda-affiliated groups in Afghanistan over the last two years finds that both the number and the frequency of raids decreased between 2011 and 2012. There were 52 reported raids targeting IMU members or insurgents associated with the group from January 2011 to November 2011, compared with 36 raids so far this year. This decrease in reported raids between 2011 and 2012 stands in contrast to an almost unchanged number of Enemy-Initiated Attacks (EIA) and an increase in civilian casualties during the same time period, based on ISAF data.
The discrepancy between increased civilian casualties and decreased ISAF operations targeting the IMU could reflect a number of factors. These factors could include the withdrawal of Coalition forces, leaving less available forces to conduct raids; or a decrease in IMU activity, minimizing potential targets. However, statements suggest that ISAF is not reporting all of the raids targeting the group.
When asked last week by The Long War Journal about a month-long gap in reported raids between October and November of this year, ISAF responded that "[f]or reasons internal to ISAF there were no operational reports issued during that time period."
"That does not indicate there were no missions executed, just that there was not a release issued," ISAF continued. ISAF would not disclose the reasons for not issuing the press releases on raids against al Qaeda and allied groups.
A large gap in ISAF reports on raids against al Qaeda, IMU, and other terror groups in Afghanistan occurred once before in the past year. Between Dec. 8, 2011 and Jan. 29, 2012, ISAF did not report on any raids against the al Qaeda-linked groups. At that time, ISAF told The Long War Journal that the lack of reporting on raids against al Qaeda and the IMU "should not be misinterpreted as lack of operational rigor against those entities," but would not disclose whether any raids against those groups had occurred during that time period.
"ISAF continues to conduct combat operations against the spectrum of insurgent forces through-out Afghanistan year-round," ISAF stated on Jan. 30. [See LWJ report, Afghan, ISAF troops kill IMU leader in north, for more details.] After the inquiry in January, the reports of raids against the terror groups picked up.
Background on the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is a key ally of al Qaeda and the Taliban, and supports operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as plots attacks in Europe. The IMU is known to fight alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan and has integrated into the Taliban's shadow government in the north. [For more information on the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, see LWJ report, IMU cleric urges Pakistanis to continue sheltering jihadis in Waziristan.]
Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan fighters often serve as bodyguards for top Pakistani Taliban and al Qaeda leaders. The IMU fights alongside the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and has stepped up attacks in Central Asian countries as well. In September 2010, the IMU took credit for the Sept. 19 ambush that killed 25 Tajik troops, and also threatened to carry out further attacks in the Central Asian country.
The IMU has claimed credit for numerous suicide assaults in Afghanistan, including the May 19, 2010 attack on the US military airbase in Bagram, the Oct. 15, 2011 assault on the Provincial Reconstruction Team base in Panjshir, and the Oct. 29, 2011 suicide attack that targeted an armored bus in Kabul.
The IMU has been a prime target of special operations forces in Afghanistan. So far this year, special operations forces have conducted at least 36 raids against the IMU; in Badakhshan, Baghlan, Faryab, Logar, Helmand, Kunduz, Takhar, and Wardak, or eight of Afghanistan's 34 provinces; according to ISAF press releases compiled by The Long War Journal.
In October, the US Treasury Department added Qari Ayyub Bashir, the "head of finance" for the IMU, to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Bashir also serves as a member of the group's shura, or executive council. Identified as an Uzbek national, Bashir is based out of Mir Ali, in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan. As the IMU's lead financier, he provides financial and "logistical" support for IMU operations in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, and fundraises from outside the region.
This spring, ISAF killed the two previous IMU leaders for Afghanistan, in raids just a few weeks apart in Faryab province. [See LWJ report, Special operations forces kill newly appointed IMU leader for Afghanistan, for more information.]
Additionally, the US has targeted the IMU's leaders and network in Pakistan's tribal areas. US drones have killed the last two emirs of the IMU. On Aug. 4, the IMU announced that its emir, Abu Usman Adil, was killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan, and named Usman Ghazi as the new leader of the al Qaeda-linked terror group. Adil succeeded Tahir Yuldashev, the co-founder of the IMU, who was killed in a drone strike in September 2009.
Adil is credited with increasing the IMU's profile in Pakistan and Afghanistan after the death of Yuldashev, US intelligence officials have told The Long War Journal. Whereas Yuldashev had been content with confining the group's operations largely to Pakistan's tribal areas, Adil pushed to expand operations in northern and eastern Afghanistan, as well is in the Central Asian republics.

on July 16, 2010If you're anything like us, a lazy weekend with a few (or more) drinks and not much else makes for a more-than-fulfilling vacation from the office. It also induces a bear-like hunger in the morning. So minimizing the time spent cooking while maximizing consumption is key. Of course, there's always delivery but there's no fun in that. So why not prepare beforehand? While still drinking? Esquire correspondent Mary-Louise Parker shares a recipe easy enough for no, ideal for 3 A.M. preparation, and more than satisfying for a noontime wake-up.

we use Teawave brand fruit smoothie concentrate at my work & i was thinking of racking some Applewine onto it. They're preservative free & extremely tasty. The ingredients in the wildberry are: Red tea infused water, sugar, blueberry puree, raspberry puree, marionberry puree, natural flavors, citric acid, pectin gum, cellulose gum, guar gum and malic acid. Will any of the above bold ingredients have negative effects?
Primary: 5 gal Joe's Ancient Orange Mead Secondary: 5.5 gal Apfelwein variation, 1 gal Dandelion Metheglin Bottled/Aging: Strawberry Wine, Brandon O's Graff
The gums are all thickening agents. As long as you don't use alot of the smoothie concentrate, I don't see it causing a huge issue. I'd try a small amount in a bottle of applewine and let it age for a few weeks just to make sure there won't be any adverse effects. Malic acid is one of the acids used in acid blend for wine making, so no problems with that one.
i wouldn't be to concerned by the Malic Acid. i believe that is one of the acid types normally added to wine to improve mouth feel. the pectin gum may make the wine cloudy unless you add pectin enzyme. no idea about the others.
I'll probably try racking onto about 12 oz. of the wildberry smoothie mix with 1/2 teaspoon of pectic enzyme in a 1 gallon jug & see what happens.
Let us know how it comes out, should be interesting

International Edition
Take one part pub crawl and one part contest mixed vigorously with 10 bartenders on a mini bus, and what do you get? One spirited competition to determine who makes the best drink using pisco, the South American brandy making a comeback in the United States.
Long a fixture in liquor cabinets and bars in Peru and Chile, pisco is popping up in the United States amid an obsession with craft cocktails. From January to July, export sales of the South American grape brandy grew to $2.3 million, up 139% over the same period in 2010, fueled by increased sales in the United States, Peruvian news agency Andina reports. And bartenders who don't shy away from the term "mixologist" are relishing the opportunities for experimentation that pisco offers. One such opportunity arose in August, when a handful of Atlanta mixologists were invited to create their own variations of pisco punch and serve them to their peers, who voted for their favorite in terms of taste, creativity and ability to be replicated.
"Pisco is fruity and aromatic, so there's a lot of room to play around with other spirits and fruits to bring out different flavors," said Brent Gatehouse, who tends bar at Italian restaurant Ecco.
"People are always looking for the next exotic spirit. They don't want to just drink vodka sodas or martinis anymore."
As pisco's popularity grows in the United States, its country of appellation remains a topic of dispute in South America. Pisco grapes are grown in Chile and Peru, and both Andean nations have adopted it as a national spirit. The dispute has played out in numerous decrees and regulations from both countries, with Peru claiming the historic upper hand and boasting a commitment to making it the old-fashioned way. The International Organisation of Vine and Wine has urged the two countries to make nice and work together toward a common solution. Mainly, the outcome has been aggressive international marketing campaigns from both countries.
Pisco's origins in the United States are less controversial. It first arrived in San Francisco in the 1850s, when it was easier to ship a batch from Peru than to transport whiskey overland from the East Coast.
The owner of San Francisco's Bank Exchange popularized the cocktail as pisco punch until Prohibition came along in the 1920s and ruined the fun. Pisco has resurfaced in recent years in the United States, most commonly as pisco sours, an American adaptation of the whiskey sour, made with lime juice, simple syrup, egg whites and a dash of bitters. Pre-packaged pisco sour mix also exists for those less inclined to do the legwork.
The president of the Peruvian Exporters' Association credits strategic partnering with boosting international pisco sales, specifically highlighting distillery Hacienda La Caravedo, the oldest working distillery in the Americas. Pisco Porton, sponsor of last month's competitive bar crawl, is made at Hacienda La Caravedo.
Indeed, the contest's participants welcomed the respite from the monotony of pouring shots and mixing martinis. The winning entry from Ecco's Gatehouse featured a concoction of papaya, plum bitters, orange rind and pepper. Calling his creation "respiracion de Inca," Gatehouse topped it off with a squeeze from half a piece of dragonfruit, dropping the fruit's carcass into each cup before serving it to his eager peers.
Another worthy offering from Empire State South was dressed up with lavender sprigs from the restaurant's urban garden. Erik Alsandor of Publik Draft House mixed pineapples, Bartlett pears and honey, garnished with plantains, as the self-described "blue-collar" entry among the "bourgeois b*****ds" from the rest of the entrants.
In a startling display of bravura, the folks at Iberian Pig surprised everyone with a life-sized ice sculpture of a bottle of pisco that spouted punch.
The owners of H. Harper Station, the venue with the misfortune of being the last on the boozy bar crawl contest, marinated peaches in pisco, yellow chartreuse and housemade ginger beer to create its own "peach exchange" in a nod to the first purveyor of pisco punch.
"It's too bad, but we enjoyed the process of coming up with a recipe," said H. Harper owner Jerry Slater. "Pisco is a lot of fun to work with. And sharing it with others who truly appreciate your effort is always a good time."
I love Peruvian Pisco !!! specially the pisco sour !!!
Pisco Chileno is the best... No need to try all these silly recipes. Pisco sour and piscola are all you need. I'm glad the beverage is catching on in this country, regardless of the origin debate. Pisco es Chileno!!!
It does not matter where pisco comes from, it is still Satans beverage. If you are drinking Satans beverage then you are supporting the Antichrist that is Obama.
Dass RIGHT! KUTGW!
There is no controversy . There is truth in one side and then there is deception or make believe on the other . There is a city called Pisco in Peru for hundreds of years and that is where pisco originated..... need more explanation than that ? city of Pisco ..liquor of pIsco get it ? period. The problem is that since Peru is not an important country in world affairs or in international commerce ( at least not worldwide or to the US) , few people know this outside of Peru and this is why Chile takes advantage of this to use the name. Many chilean companies grow the grapes and/or produce their "pisco" in Peru and then ship it from Chile under a chilean brand... Furthermore,you know what the first destiny for peruvian pisco exports is ?? ( suspense) yeah, you guessed right : CHILE The pisco sour was invented in the Hotel Maury in downtown Lima in the mid 20 century ( Peru).
The real problem is ..... whothefcares?
you should care if you want to try the best because peruvian's is superior.
Pisco is from PERU not Chile AND Peru, and Pisco Sour originated in PERU. I tend to side with Guillermo, sorry i don't take anyone's order on working together, this rightfully from PERU.
Pisco is ok. It doesn't matter if it is from Peru or Chile. For a real treat try Singani from Bolivia.
Peruvian Pisco is the best. I brought back about 6 bottles. Sadly, they're all empty now but I've saved the best for a display. 'Mosto Verde Gran Herencia'. I so wish I could buy Pisco in Canada.
you can buy it online.
I have an unopened bottle of Pisco that my father in law brought us from a business trip to Peru. Guess I should try out some of these cocktails, they sound pretty good.
Pisco is peruvian. The so called chilean pisco is only a cheap liquor, since they are not able to grow good quality grapes in their soil. Besides, there is a 400 years old city in Peru called Pisco (you may check it in Google earth). Chileans founded a city named Pisco just a few years ago. I rest my case.
Pisco from Bolivia is also excellent. Look up Singani...
I had pisco when I was in Peru, it can be really strong. Didn't like all those years ago but I'll try it again.
Finally the world will start enjoying the best drink ever made..........
Pisco is great, but the REAL one come from Peru, not Chile.
Oh, but you are sadly mistaken. Chilean Pisco is the best and orginal.
You are totally wrong, Elsa. I understand you guys want to be proud of it, but unfortunately, 100% Peruvian, sorry. The good news is that most people in the world who know about pisco know this.
It is true the real comes from Peru and not Chile. But the chileans know how to make it better. I have tried both, and definetely the chilean has more flavor!
Editha, I totally agree with you. Viva Chile!!
Try a Cuzco Fizz 2 parts Pisco 1 part St-Germain 5–6 Green Grapes ½–¾ part Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice top with Club Soda Method: Muddle grapes in the base of a shaker. Add pisco, lime juice, St-Germain and ice. Shake vigorously, strain into an ice-filled Collins glass and top with soda. Then drink a toast to Peruvian Pisco. True, it is distilled from grapes of Spanish origin, not French, but it makes a lovely fizz, so we are willing to overlook this.
Last time I was in Chili the popular drink was Pisco and Coca-Cola: Piscola.
it is disgusting, try pisco sour, and if you get a real expensive pisco, have it on the rocks.
Representing Atlanta! We certainly know how to mix down here!
Never did a pub crawl – sounds like fun !

Nabbesh.com appeals to the masses
"I am personally a big fan of crowd funding, and crowd investing is a variation of that," says Loulou Baz.
June 19, 2013 5:56 by kippreport
Virtual skills marketplace Nabbesh launched its quest for capital on Eureeca, a global crowd-investing platform for small and medium businesses to source funding from the masses.
Eureeca provides a platform to facilitate a funding round for Nabbesh, with an entry level for interested investors, starting at $100. As with all businesses listing their proposals on Eureeca, Nabbesh will be open to funding for a 90-day period and, so far, they've raised roughly 20 per cent of their target amount.
Registration for investors on the site is free.
Dubai-based Nabbesh currently has 17,000 members and more than 1,300 freelance and project-based jobs posted on the site. It had won the inaugural Middle East start-up reality TV show The Entrepreneur earlier in the year.
Speaking exclusively with Kipp Report, site founder Loulou Baz says while most investments normally happen behind closed doors, with only a number of participants (due to the large size of required funds), crowd investing enables anyone who believes in and wants to support a business such as Nabbesh to become a shareholder.
"We thought about our fans, the actual users of our service and people who would like to own a few shares in our company and we decided that we must allocate a portion of the funds to them," says Baz. "The amounts invested are nominal, but as Nabbesh grows, these early investors will be heavily rewarded in the future."
Since Eureeca.com is a relatively new platform, Baz says the success with Nabbesh will also reflect on the success of crowd investing in general, which she believes is "crucial" for the revival of entrepreneurship in the Middle East region.
"I am personally a big fan of crowd funding. And crowd investing is a variation of that, but the core remains the same; leveraging the power of the crowd to raise funds.
"We hope to raise US$100,000 in a relatively short period of time," she adds.

Genetic factors have been implicated in stroke risk, but few replicated associations have been reported. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in 3,548 affected individuals and 5,972 controls, all of European ancestry. Replication of potential signals was performed in 5,859 affected individuals and 6,281 controls. We replicated previous associations for cardioembolic stroke near PITX2 and ZFHX3 and for large vessel stroke at a 9p21 locus. We identified a new association for large vessel stroke within HDAC9 (encoding histone deacetylase 9) on chromosome 7p21.1 (including further replication in an additional 735 affected individuals and 28,583 controls) (rs11984041; combined P = 1.87 x 10(-11); odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28-1.57). All four loci exhibited evidence for heterogeneity of effect across the stroke subtypes, with some and possibly all affecting risk for only one subtype. This suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes.

8. Limits On Phone Support For Partners
In November 2013, Microsoft began limiting the number of business-critical phone support incidents for Gold and Silver partners. For Microsoft's competency partners, the limit is now 15 incidents for Gold partners and 10 incidents for Silver partners, according to a Microsoft document viewed by CRN. Microsoft Action Pack subscribers did not see any changes to their business-critical phone support limits.
Microsoft, in the document, said partners can get free support from its Partner Support Community. Or they can use their advisory hours to get training from "experienced Microsoft technical consultants." If partners need more support than that, they can buy Premier Support for Partners plans, Microsoft said in the document.
One partner told CRN Microsoft's Office 365 support has been watered down significantly. "It's to the point where it's no longer truly escalated," the partner said. "They originally promised level 3 only and that all personnel would be Microsoft employees. That isn't true anymore."

other uses for CarmexPosted by miss7diane I have found a new use for Carmex; however, I don't want to just put it on the site. It will cause the company to make a lot of money, and I need money right now. I can be contacted at 810-706-0050 and my name is Diane. Thank you. |
