The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, proving a decisive - though costly - victory for the Union army. Every summer, history buffs re-enact the battle for onlookers and tourists. The battlefield was also the site of Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, in which he proclaimed that a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

I am doing exactly that. I ordered the CPU bumped mid model with 4GB RAM and 1 TB drive. I ordered a 240 GB Extreme Pro SSD , data double kit (so I'll have both SSD and HDD installed), and 16 GB RAM from OWC. I have those already (doubler kit arrives today). The Mini will come next week.

Intel calls this "Turbo Boost". Broadly speaking, the quad-core is going to be at least as fast in applications that only use one or two cores, while being significantly faster in applications that are multithreaded. On the other hand, quad-core i7 aren't necessarily faster than comparable (same generation, similarly clocked) dual-core i5 in non-multithreaded applications, as evidenced by benchmarks comparing MacBook Pro 13" and 15". |

Personally, I'd definitely go with the quad-core i7. If doing "lots of Photoshop" isn't a good reason to opt for the higher Mac mini, I don't know what is..? Keep in mind, though, that the memory upgrade is probably a better upgrade than the CPU (as might even be getting an SSD). You can also do the memory upgrade yourself. |

Adobe has the HD P4000 as being mercury engine capable, but what's confusing is that the P4000 is the xenon workstation version whereas the plain 4000 is its mobile counterpart.... question is, is the HD 4000 mercury engine capable as well?
I've been looking to upgrade from my 2007 macbook C2D 2ghz with its intel 950 that not open gl capable so I can't take advantage of some of PS CS5's viewing options like rotation. I was hoping to grab a new mini but now I don't know. I also use Logic 9 and Ableton Live, so unless I'm going to see some sort of huge performance boost, I guess I'll wait it out. However, I don't do games so that is of no concern... I do need it to handle graphics for PS, DAW's and Mainstage though Last edited by BingClawsby; Oct 26, 2012 at 12:55 PM. |

Could it be that they're just relying on TB technology for users needing a better graphics option? I guess I don't see the negative side here. I'm am pleased with the faster processing, the (slightly) less expensive SSD option than previous minis (I might be remembering incorrectly), and USB3.
I plan to only use the mini for recording audio with Pro Tools, though. So, these improvements are A+ in my book! I get to keep the FW for the recording interface and use USB3 for recording to external HD (or routing through FW as previously handled... or utilize TB if/when those drives come down in price). If I really wanted to use the mini for gaming/graphics intense whatnot...etc., I'd just wait for an affordable TB option to come about. I don't see what all the fuss is about, honestly.

No idea, but I'd be willing to bet they'll be around soon enough if not already. I'd still wait for an appropriate price either way. I have a PC for games... The mini, in my opinion, is perfect for a small recording studio as is. Upgradeable in the not too distant future, graphically speaking.

Intel will reportedly introduce its next-generation "Haswell" (4th generation Core) architecture in April. "Haswell" is expected to improve performance per MHz by about 10%, enable higher MHz designs that consume less power, and double the performance of Intel's current integrated HD4000 GPU. The Haswell's GPU also adds support for OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.0 like the latest nVidia and ATI solutions. Extremetech and Anandtech have good articles below.

Bergamont E-line CMGNI also found a pair of these Bergamont E-line CMGN for sale here in WA. The seller is asking $4,750 each for them. I believe the seller is looking at or is a dealer for this brand. Thoughts? Andrew
Re: Bergamont E-line CMGNI dropped in to Avantiplus Morley this afternoon as they have a Bergamot E-Line C-MGN on the floor, asking $4,500.
The frame appears to be an E-Line C-N8 but with a C-MGN specification and frame decal was C-MGN. That said looking at the bike "in the flesh" it is a very nice build for sure and the components look pretty good including a Busch & Muller Lumotec IQ2 Luxos 179B headlight. Andrew

Cooking Mama 5 is heading to the 3DSConsidering the name of Cooking Mama developers Cooking Mama Limited, it was obvious another game would hit a Nintendo console at some point in the future. According to Siliconera, that game is Cooking Mama 5 for the Nintendo 3DS, which is preparing for a winter release in Japan. Considering the high rate of localization, it's probably best to just assume an overseas release is also in the cards (same with the upcoming Gardening Mama).

That Year in Rishikesh
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
George Harrison
It happened as I was trying to play 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. Of the four, George has always been my Beatle. I think we could have been great friends, except for the fact that he was a Hare Krishna, which would sound a bit old-fashioned these days and probably wouldn't be much of a big deal. But it's understandable that the whole Indian mystical thing was cool back then. It was a novelty, different. An alternative.
I also admired George for being the quiet Beatle, with that reserved manner of someone who has taken a few steps back and become a spectator, while everyone else is croaking and hopping about like hyperactive toads. John was the guy for when I was angry. Of the four, George has always been my Beatle. Paul was the guy for when I wanted to say good day sunshine. Ringo was the guy who'd come cheer me up when I was feeling glum, seeing as nothing could be taken seriously in Ringo's company. And George was George, quiet – L'Angelo Misterioso. He was once asked on a TV show if he was the Beatle who got the most girls, because girls like men like that: quiet, with an air of mystery about them. George said no, of the four of them, the one who got the most girls was Paul.
It's a bloody shame that George died so many years ago. It's a bloody shame for John too, of course. But there's something about the fact that George died of lung cancer, after having been cured of throat cancer – they say he suffered terribly as a result of the 'illness' that finally did him in, and that one day his doctor took his family (the doctor's) to visit him and they all started singing and making a racket and George, who could barely breathe, asked them please to be quiet. Then the doctor made George autograph a guitar for his son. And George said I'm not sure I still know how to sign my name, and the doctor spelled it out for him. Come on, you can do it. G E O R . . .
Gran was eighty-two years old. She was already at a stage in her illness in which she was easily irritated, always confused, and would sometimes start a sentence and stop in the middle. It was about six months before she died and five years after she had been diagnosed.
She had lost a lot of weight and I was shocked at how thin her wrists and ankles were. Especially her ankles. She had withered overnight. And I looked at Gran and thought about George and why people have to continue living when they clearly aren't enjoying it anymore. When evil oncologists spell out your name so you can autograph their sons' guitars. When the person can no longer recall what they did this morning and even has a hard time recognizing their only grandson.
She didn't like being alone, so when the woman who looked after her had the day off and Mum wasn't home, I'd go into her room. The curtains had to stay permanently closed because she thought someone in the building opposite us was trying to Her voice would grow more and more distant like a train that you see moving away until it disappears around a bend. spy on her, on our family. I'd explain that no one was trying to spy on us and Gran would shake her head and say, I know what they did to Cristina. Cristina died. They killed her. I didn't know who Cristina was and she wouldn't explain either, even when I asked. Sometimes she'd start to explain and stop in the middle, but not suddenly. Her voice would grow more and more distant like a train that you see moving away until it disappears around a bend. Or she'd cry, a quiet weeping that you could practically only identify from the shine that her tears left on her gaunt cheeks, and I never knew what to do. But soon afterwards she'd forget her face was all wet, take my hand and ask me to sit next to her. Then she'd say my how you've grown, Artur. The love I felt for her was a pang, a twinge in my chest, and I'd place my other hand on top of our hands and say Gran, my name isn't Artur.
On one such occasion, I took my guitar and amp into her room, that penumbra that felt almost padded, as if the air was thicker there than elsewhere. Not that it was bad. But after a while it would begin to get weird and uncomfortable, and I'd start feeling claustrophobic and would try to convince her to come into the lounge (sometimes she'd come; sometimes I'd turn the telly on, but she never paid attention for more than five minutes). But in the beginning it was OK, it was as if I was entering Gran's world, a cool, darker world that smelled of rose water. I could almost think like her, feel like her, share that confused space behind her face, which would sometimes be expressionless and she would look oddly similar to a shop mannequin. Except for the fact that all mannequins in all shops are twenty.
Gran, do you mind if I play something?
She looked at me and said huh?
Do you mind if I play something? I lifted my guitar a little higher.
She didn't answer, just sighed and gazed at the window as if it wasn't covered by a curtain and as if behind it was a melancholic English landscape.
I took that for a yes and switched on my amp, turning the volume down low. I started with 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', the base that George played when recording the White Album (Eric Clapton played lead guitar, though he isn't formally credited on the album), humming the melody with some frayed bits of lyrics here and there.
Gran looked at me. I looked at her. I stopped playing, thinking that maybe I was bothering her. I thought about George dying and having to ask his doctor's family to please be quiet. But she just stared at me without saying a thing.
I picked up where I'd left off. When I got to the part that goes I look at the world / and I notice it's turning, she was smiling and bobbing her head to the music. When I finished, she said that's my favourite.
Your favourite?
I remember him playing that song for us that year in Rishikesh.
You know, son. George Harrison. George Harrison from the Beatles.
I remembered when Gran had said that Brazil's former president-elect, Tancredo Neves, had been her boyfriend. Very little of what she said could be taken seriously any more. I had the impression that everything was swirling around in there as if her brain were a giant blender, and the pulp from her processing of Gran appeared in the corridor, with some of her hair coming loose from her bun, dragging her feet in the fuzzy slippers that were always a little crooked. the world was a mixture of past, present, dreams, imagination, films, books, newspaper articles, anything. She might have been the first woman to walk on the moon. She might have lived in Paris or India, been a bus driver, a famous artist, a cleaner. The only thing that wasn't within her reach was that which her illness had already gnawed out of her mind. The rest was like a collection of items in a supermarket that you are free to take off the shelves as you please, though getting them through checkout is another story. But her illness was strange; it seemed to preserve old, grandiose facts and rob her precisely of the most useful things. Or perhaps it was a way of slowly anaesthetizing her as it pulled her away from life, day by day, hour by hour.
Did George Harrison play this song for you, Gran?
That year we spent in Rishikesh studying with His Holiness, she said.
She paused, rummaged around inside.
His Holiness, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I remember he laughed a lot.
George Harrison laughed a lot?
His Holiness laughed a lot, she said, and laughed too, and momentarily raised her hands to her chest with her palms pressed together. I had never seen Gran do that before.
Can you play any others? she asked.
Other Beatles songs?
She nodded. I played my entire repertoire, which was basically all Beatles songs, with the exception of 'Band on the Run', which is twenty-five per cent Beatles too. And then she asked me to help her into the living room, which was rare, and sat in her favourite armchair (in spite of everything, she never forgot which one it was, even if she sometimes couldn't remember whether or not she liked figs or bananas). In a few minutes she was asleep.
I went to my room a little catatonic, in a mixture of religious awe and fascination with my grandmother. I confirmed the information and yes, Rishikesh was that city in India where the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram was, where the Beatles had stayed in the late 1960s and where they had composed a bunch of songs. It was incredible that Gran had managed to associate the song I had played with all that. And remembered the song, and that it was by George, and included herself in the story, to boot.
Mum arrived home from work a short time later, bringing bread with too many chemicals in it and menacing envelopes with bank logos in the corners. She dumped everything on the kitchen counter and asked how Gran was.
In the living room, having a snooze, I said. Mum, you'll never believe the story she told me today.
I need a shower. And a painkiller for my headache. Tell me later – and in a continuous, fluid gesture, she headed for her room, tossed her bag onto the bed, then picked up some clothes that were lying around and went into the bathroom. I heard the shower being turned on, and the poor, tired, chlorinated water assumed the responsibility of washing my mother's day away; away from her body, away from her soul.
Gran appeared in the corridor, with some of her hair coming loose from her bun, dragging her feet in the fuzzy slippers that were always a little crooked. She passed me on her way into her bedroom and opened the wardrobe.
Come here, son, she called in her small voice.
I went to the doorway.
I need to get something down from up top there. Behind those boxes.
I climbed up on the chair to reach what she wanted. I removed boxes in a variety of formats, none with an identifiable purpose in the world, and bags of musty-smelling cloth things. Until I found a soap tin and she said that's the one, can you give it to me? Gran's hands were outstretched and slightly shaky. She sat on her yellow bedspread like a little pixie and calmly picked through the contents of the box until she pulled out a photo of herself with George Harrison.
She handed me the photo and said Rishikesh. She mumbled some things about His Holiness and also about Cynthia Lennon. George and Gran were wearing white tunics, long hair and necklaces of saffron-coloured flowers. Gran had a red dot between her eyebrows. She could have been George's older sister.
We spent the next afternoon playing guitar and singing, sharing stories – some true, others not, I suspected, but what did it matter? – about the Beatles. We spent many other afternoons doing this too. She told me the songs she wanted me to learn and I learned them.
Until one day, without warning and without a fuss, Gran died. I don't know if she knew my name or if I was just a kid who played her favourite songs on the guitar, an avatar of the quartet from Liverpool's oeuvre who had miraculously appeared in her path. A gift sent from the beyond by the Maharishi? Gran no longer needed to find logic in things or make up logic for things that didn't appear to have any. The world was one big trip, Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
After she died, we cleaned out her wardrobe. The cotton clothes, the fuzzy slippers that were always slightly I went to my room a little catatonic, in a mixture of religious awe and fascination with my grandmother. crooked on her feet. The pile of bags and boxes. Mum cried. I hugged her and, later, when there wasn't an audience, I cried too. I kept the soap tin, which contained some unidentified treasures. Things that had made sense to Gran, things that had softened her life with the comfort of accumulation when she had innocently believed that it was forever – as we all do, more or less, death being something that happens to other people.
In the soap tin were her ID card, letters written in the calligraphy of a time when people used to study calligraphy in Catholic school, an empty perfume bottle. And some photographs: with the exception of that relic from Rishikesh, they all appeared to be family or school snapshots, young ladies who looked vaguely like characters from old films. I went back and forth through the photographs looking for more Beatles, but there was nothing.
One of them, however, caught my attention. Gran was very young. How many years ago had that scene taken place? She was holding hands with a man. It was sunny and they both had creased foreheads and even though the photo was old and faded there was no doubt: it was Tancredo Neves. I looked out her bedroom window, sitting on her bed with its yellow bedspread. The curtains were open and pigeons were wheeling through the air outside, in a strangely calm, strangely common world. ■

Science Important
A gigantic group of Pacific walruses, foiled from reaching prime feeding grounds by missing ice, gathered September 23 near Point Lay, Alaska, on the shore of the Chukchi Sea.
The beach's popularity is due to necessity. Typically the walruses scour the seafloor at a popular feeding ground known as the Hanna Shoal, about 240 kilometers from Point Lay, and take breaks between meals on slabs of floating sea ice. But recently, warming temperatures and shrinking summer ice cover have forced the animals to seek solid ground during feeding season. Scientists first observed walruses colonizing Point Lay in 2007.

Hi I'm new here!
I obviously have no clue what I am talking about but I found this neat project some person is doing and I thought if I could get myself such a set up I could have a lot of designing fun.
So here is the vid: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=YML3SP5cHKQ
Does anyone know what this person had created? Is it fully 3d? If it is fully 3d and he is using meshes then isn't he wasting polygon faces on the sides every time he groups them?
Is this an isometric engine? (youtube vid)

Drawing back faces in a scene like that would be pretty trivial, if it was done in 3D. A lot of the time it is just better to throw things at the graphics card and let it sort things out, rather than worrying about the fine grained details. I could imagine such optimizations might make sense on low-spec hardware, but that probably isn't the average case.

If you watch closely, the character later on in the video appears to be polygonal by the way it rotates and moves smoothly -- its possible that it was animated that way, but fairly unlikely. If the character is polygonal, it stands to reason that the world is "real" 3D as well. Its also actually quite a bit easier to do isometric in "real" 3D using an isometric projection, rather than to fake it with flat tiles (in "real" 3D, you can use polygonal "tiles" for lack of a better term). When you fake it with flat tiles you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to deal with depth and "tall" objects (or holes) -- in "real" 3D everything just works.
The particle effects on the splashes are square as well, which wouldn't make much sense if they were hand-drawn.
That's just an educated guess though.

Though I agree it's most certainly 3D, I didn't see any parallax (apparent changing of relative position). That implies it's an orthographic projection.
Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the forums for everyone's benefit, and I can embarrass myself publicly.

Lets be honest, the gamers that this game is aimed at most likely had no issues with the trailer at all. we all probably took it for what it is, and thats a game trailer.
The "backlash" was most likley from those sad little people that have nothing better to do than to write to places like BBC to make complaints about the smallest things. Obviously the majority of people realise that nuns do not go round hiding assault rifles under their clothes bumping off people for the church. |

I didn't mind the trailer, either. It was the first one that had the tone of a Hitman trailer (i.e. Not sneaking around a library). Although making their nun uniforms wearable would have helped even more.
I'm not sure how they adding context to the game would have helped the trailer's reception, though. |

It's the "oh my god there's something i find really offensive in a game i've never and will never play" reaction. There's a very simple solution, don't play it and don't watch trailers for it.

Hitman games always had some connection to religion in thr plot, just saying.
Anyway, what worries me more is that the trailer shows 47 confronting them out in the open, I don't want it to become just another run and gun shooter...

"We learned from the trailer that we really needed to give these characters some context and some backstory,"
I very much doubt the backlash was about context to be honest... |

To be honest, I love controversy, but this was just a cheap shot to gain some press attention from immature devs.

Also, no one has the right to not be offended. If it offends someone, big whoop.

Maybe i am part of the ignorant group that the journalist in the article above mentions, but i really don't see what is the big deal, in the big picture of things that we have surrounding our lifes. Sexism is constant on our everyday life's, i dont hear anyone moaning about Keith Lemon and his stupid sexist jokes (and he seems to get more and more audience), or lynx with their constant use of sexism in their commercials (coz i dont think anyone carries on like they have alzheimer or spasms i their bottom part of their just because they sweat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9d46SKvJTg), not to mention all the other perfumes (which like to show ladies with eating problems half naked), or bloody confused.com with their bikinis in their cartoons, or the big lady shoving coins between her breasts, or even all the manga cartoons, with the characters with massive breast and skimpy outfits and the list goes on and on. With the constant sexism involved on most aspects of everything to do with media, it makes me wonder if users and journalists should be concerned with a game having some nuns on leather outfits or with the fact that games become more realistic by the year, ( showing new ways to kill how the weapons interact with human bodies with excellent physics simulation on what places of the body actually kill on a first blow, etc.). So I wonder if having big tits leather tight outfits on nuns is really the problem here, if there is some people with far too much time on their hands, or maybe if we have to moan about this maybe we should moan loud enough about everything else that is sexist in the media and games industry... |

As a Christian, I'll put in my tuppence...
I'm now looking forward to the game; that trailer is hilarious. People seriously need to chill, and why do they always direct their vitriol towards games when there's so much else they could be going on about...to paraphrase Carmine Falcone: 'People always fear what they don't understand' |

Nuns in PVC with guns sounds much more effective and a contribution to society than what they do now.

Nonsense. They knew all along it was going to create a massive ruckus. Visibility of new game increased tenfold - mission successful.

I don't see what the big deal with the trailer was. Religion played a big part in hitman 2 from what I remember. Your safe house that housed all your guns was about 10 feet from a church with plenty of "innocents" around. The trailer for the new game conveyed to me that the organization that hitman once worked for is now out to get him and he must seek absolution! I guess to someone who hasn't played the games it might seem sorta out of place and I think the action should have been more stealthy than just "im jason bourne now so I can beat up a group of enemies all at once" but overall the trailer was well done. A shame when things just aren't seen with the right mindset.

Born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada in 1969 to my amazing parents, Barry and Sandra. I have one sibling, Russell. We grew up in the town of Tecumseh, Ontario. We climbed cherry trees, rode dirt bikes in the fields, caught crayfish in the ditches. Basically, we spent most of our time outside exploring the world.
I went to school in Belle River, Ontario, graduating in 1987. I went on to college but chose to drop out. Looking back now I wish I would have stuck to it. I married the love of my life, Shane, in 1991. Shortly after, we had two children. Our daughter, Mandy, created the covers to the 'Colours In Blackness' series. She is a graduate from Fanshawe College with an advanced diploma for Fine Art. Our son, Dustin, created the ColoursInBlackness.com website and helped out with all my other computer needs. He's quite savvy with electronics.
These five Colours In Blackness books, as well as A Bed Of Blood, are self published. I am interested in qualified representation: publishing company or agent.
Because I have Fibromyalgia, sometimes keeping focus is very difficult. Writing these stories is an accomplishment that I am very proud of. However, I couldn't have accomplished any of this without the aide from several friends and family, but mostly from my mother. She let me bounce ideas off of her and helped me out when I'd fall into creative slumps.
Please enjoy my words. I love all of characters and will forever hold them near and dear to my heart. Feel free to post your comments on my website.

I read the first book and could not wait for the second book. Unfortunately I am sadly disappointed. The second book tends to be a bit too sleazy - I would not have my daughter reading about 18 year-olds sleeping with their peers never mind showering with them. It is not something that would be tolerated in the establishment they are in. The basic tenets of the story are quite good, it just runs off the rails with the side issues.

All the time. Seems as if I'm not in the process of moving myself, I'm helping someone else move. Lots of boxing things up involved.
What a stupid question. I'm pretty sure everyone has had to pack their stuff in boxes for a move.

Yup! Nanny Duver used to make us box as part of gym class in the upper floor attic of the old Manual Junior High Building on 9th Street (where the Douglas County Bank building is located). Seems to me that I was on the loosing end of most of these encounters, fortunately, the gloves were very large.

I went to a Golden Gloves match in KC several years ago. Found that I did not like watching flying blood. Also scoring did not appear to be fair. Can't imagine what a bare knuckle fight was like. Much have been a bloody mess.
number3of5 2 years, 5 months ago
My dad was a Golden Gloves boxer in the 30's and he taught several of his children how to box. My brother was a boxer in the Marines. I loved to spar with both of them and would take on any age of competitor as a child. Loved to listen to the boxing matches on the radio and would anger my brother when I picked the winner. So long ago.

I boxed GG in high school and enjoyed it a little. I fought a younger kid at the YMCA once, hit him pretty squarely and hurt him badly. I enjoyed the excercise, but didn't like the hurting of others. Seemed unfair as I was quick but not tough and quickness wins every time, especially with points.

Schumacher: 'It's pure pleasure now'
Schumacher |
As the season opens with this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, Schumacher knows that rivals from Williams, McLaren and Renault are back in title contention.
But he said the new Ferrari is superior to the 2003 model, which was good enough to win.
"We had a good test session all winter,'' said Schumacher, who will be bidding for his fifth straight title.
"We were running very competitive in our view and reliable. That's the impressive thing, the reliability,'' he said.
The 2003 championship hinged on the last race in Japan, where Schumacher relied on teammate Rubens Barrichello to take the checkered flag and hold out Kimi Raikkonen. Schumacher finished eighth, enough to retain the title by two points.
Raikkonen finished second in the standings, and Juan Pablo Montoya was third.
" | I love the sport and part of the sport and the main part of the sport is the competition, the overtaking, the thrill of whether you make it or whether you don't make it. That's what I'm looking for, that's what I'm living for. " | |
— Michael Schumacher |
Asked if he had any apprehension about another title defense, Schumacher's response was as precise as his driving: "No!''
"I have won everything there is to win, and it's pure pleasure now,'' he said. "I love the competition, the overtaking, the thrill of whether you make it or don't make it -- that's what I'm living for.''
Montoya, who will drive for McClaren in 2005, thinks this season's Williams team has a car capable of winning the championship.
"I want to win,'' he said. "If I have the chance, I'm going to give it everything.''
Montoya lost a chance to win this race last season when he led before spinning out with 10 laps left. He had to settle for second place behind McLaren's David Coulthard.
The new rules have altered the qualifying format and restricted teams to one engine for qualifying and racing. The Friday qualifying session was scrapped and replaced by free practice.
There will be back-to-back qualifying sessions held on Saturdays this season, and any car that needs an engine replacement will drop 10 places on the grid for Sunday's race.
Schumacher is the only driver in the competition who has won a world championship. Jacques Villeneuve was dropped by BAR at the end of last season.

New Year's Day of 1997 will long be remembered all across our region as the 'New Year's Flood of '97'. The flood impacted people on both sides of the border, in Oregon and California. However, one of the hardest hit areas in Southern Oregon was Ashland.

Religion news in Wisconsin and beyond
Victims call on Listecki to atone in court as well as special Mass
Hours before Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki is scheduled to prostrate himself before the altar at a special Mass of Atonement for the church's sins in the sex abuse crisis, victim advocates are calling on Listecki to show true remorse by agreeing to unseal documents and depositions in its bankruptcy case that lawyers say would shed light on the scope of the crisis in southeastern Wisconsin.
"Atonement, if it is genuine, means that you must first stop hurting victims right now and covering up right now," victim-survivor Michael Sneesby, Milwaukee director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, said in a statement.
SNAP said it would be emailing its request to Listecki, and members and that members and supporters would gather outside St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church, 1025 S. 7th Ave. in West Bend, before the 7 p.m. Mass.
A spokeswoman for the archdiocese did not immediately comment, saying she'd just received SNAP's statement and hadn't had a chance to read it.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelley is scheduled to hear arguments next Thursday on a motion by victims' attorneys to unseal the depositions of retired Archbishop Rembert Weakland, retired Bishop Richard Sklba and defrocked priest Daniel A. Budzynski, who is believed to have molested several children, along with related documents.
The archdiocese's attorneys have objected. The legal arguments cannot be determined for either side because they, too, are sealed in accordance with a protective order issued by Kelley to protecting the identities of victims and some previously unidentified suspected offenders.
Victim attorney Jeffrey Anderson said in a hearing this month that the release of documents would shed light on the scope of the crisis in southeastern Wisconsin.

Apple has created a new section on the iTunes Store called "Free on iTunes" which lists music and full length TV show episodes that users can download for free. The section currently includes 16 singles from the likes of Machine Head, Rogue Wave, Asking Alexandria, Nude Beach and more, as well as select full-length episodes from shows such as 12 Monkeys, Backstrom, The Musketeers and more.

If you're a fan of Homeland, the immensely popular spy drama, the good news is that the long wait for season 4 is now at an end. Or it is if you're Stateside, us Brits have to wait another week, so no spoilers! In any case whether you're a long standing fan, someone who's never seen a single episode or anywhere in between, catching up with your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV is a breeze with iTunes!
Parental Controls, also known as Restrictions, let you manage which features, apps, and content your kids can and can't access on the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. That includes changing the default 15-minute window for password requests on the App Store and iTunes Store. Originally intended as a convenience for adults who wanted to buy several apps, games, songs, movies, or TV shows at once, the window also let kids buy extra apps and in-app purchases after their parents entered the password. So, Apple now lets you change the password interval to immediate, so each and every in-store and in-app purchase requires it before it'll start the download.
Following the initial launch in Japan, Apple has now begun to push its new iTunes Pass out to a more global audience. Initially we've been able to verify that the U.S. and the UK are now seeing it, but there are reports from all around the world such as Australia, Spain, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands that are also seeing iTunes Pass availability.
Today, June 15, marks the 10th birthday of the iTunes Store in the UK, France and Germany. Having already been launched in the U.S. the year before, Apple's first international expansion saw the trio of European countries become the first non-Americans to have access to its online media catalog. But perhaps more importantly it marked the beginning of a serious change in how media buyers got their content. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Update: iTunes services appear to be coming back online, though it make take some time to restore services for everybody and all devices.
Original story follows.
The iTunes Store and App Store are currently down for some people in some parts of the world, taking with it a bunch of the iTunes ecosystem. You aren't going to be downloading any movies, music, or TV shows, you won't be streaming off iTunes Radio, and your Apple TV won't even let you watch any such items.

The UK's recent Budget has pushed out – quietly – a new ruling that will surely see iTunes Store prices rise. The rule states that digital content such as apps, music, books and videos will be charged at the rate of tax based on the country it is sold in. Basically pushing it through that iTunes content will be hit with the standard UK rate of VAT at 20%.

The Green Party of the United States has endorsed a statement calling for a comprehensive strategy of boycott and divestment that would pressure the government of Israel to guarantee human rights for Palestinians.
"Israel's treatment of Palestinians -- those who are Israeli citizens as well as those in the territories -- is comparable in many ways to South African apartheid, and has resulted in a cycle of violence and lack of security for both Israelis and Palestinians A stable and just resolution of the conflict requires the full realization of the human rights of Palestinians and Israelis."
Greens allege that the peace processwill ensure neither peace nor human rights, and have called the Gaza Disengagement Plan a smokescreen to buy time and accumulate political capital for the Sharon government while it pursues a plan to force Palestinians into disconnected reservations on less than half the West Bank.
The Green Party is already on record as supporting the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and to receive compensation for their losses; immediate Israeli withdrawal from all lands acquired since 1967, including the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem (see ); maintenance of Jerusalem as a shared city open to people of all faiths; suspension of U.S. military and foreign aid to Israel; complete dismantling of the Israeli separation wall; and serious consideration of a single secular, democratic state as the national home of both Israelis and Palestinians. Greens have affirmed the right of self-determination for both Palestinians and Israelis.

grid reference TM 164 445

last updated 13/03/2012
The Bandbox name is thought to date from approximately 1973. But it was on the site of an older beerhouse, called the Buttermarket Tavern. It's recorded as having changed from a beerhouse license to a full one on March 6th 1961, so evidently dates from earlier than that.

After cleaning my bike after a muddy ride I still hear some grinding from the disc brakes. It sounds as if there is still a little mud (now dried) restricting the disc from rotating between the brake pads. What's the best way to fix this?

I consider my mom pretty cool. But there are some things that could make her look even cooler. I found 7 accessories that all moms could totally rock (and would make their teenagers go "Wow!").
Word from the Mother:
I really do love these items that my daughter has chosen here. She is far more fashion forward than I am! It is pretty obvious however, looking at the price of those rider boots, that she still thinks money grows on trees. Such is the taste of a teenager.
What do you think of the list? Do you rock any of these looks? Would you dare to give any of them a try?

B-25 bomber to visit Air Zoo
July 27, 2010

Job Title: Public Relations & Marketing Manager
Phone: 269.350.2811
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
On July 31, Air Zoo visitors will have the opportunity to take flight in the Yankee Warrior-a B-25 Mitchell bomber with World War II combat history.
The Yankee Air Museum's Yankee Warrior will be at the Air Zoo's East Campus from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. During that time, visitors will be able to purchase a 30-minute flight experience on the warbird for $400 per person. Tours of the aircraft will also be available for $4 per adult and $3 per child.
In conjunction with the B-25 visit, the Great Lakes Burn Camp will hold a motorcycle ride benefit to help send kids who are burn survivors to camp for free. Registration for the ride begins at 9 a.m. with the ride commencing at 11 a.m. A group of kids from the camp will also be taking a ride on the Yankee Warrior, thanks to generous donations made by Bowers Manufacturing, Perry's Harley-Davidson and CTS Telecom Inc.
The Yankee Warrior flew in eight bombing missions in Corsica, with success in missions over Sicily and through the Brenner Pass. The B-25 Mitchell was the most effective medium bomber of World War II and was the first medium bomber to fly off of an aircraft carrier.
To purchase a ride in the B-25 Yankee Warrior in advance, please contact John Vander Ven at 269.250.0783 or firstname.lastname@example.com. To learn more about the Great Lakes Burn Camp motorcycle ride benefit, contact Tamra Stafford at 269.350.2815. For more information about the Air Zoo, visit www.airzoo.org or call 269.382.6555.
