Match Preview
Striker-light United Manchester United are again without strikers Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen for the Barclays Premier League clash with Tottenham. Rooney is resting an ankle problem which could keep him out for longer than the three weeks first feared while Owen suffered a hamstring injury in training this week. The former Liverpool forward is expected to be out for four to five weeks. Veteran Ryan Giggs is also missing with a hamstring injury but should return to training on Monday. Jonny Evans could come back into contention after a hip injury. Javier Hernandez's spell in the Manchester United spotlight is set to continue with Rooney facing a longer spell out than first thought. Rooney is currently on holiday in Dubai after being given time off to rest an injured ankle. The 25-year-old suffered the injury in training last week during an extraordinary few days that started with him expressing a desire to leave the club but ended with him signing a five-year contract. Rooney was expected to be out of action for three weeks but manager Sir Alex Ferguson said on Friday he thought it could be longer. That would almost certainly rule the England striker out of the potentially explosive derby against Manchester City at Eastlands on November 10. With Owen also sidelined, that could mean an extended chance for summer signing Hernandez, who has impressed with four goals in his last four games. The 22-year-old Mexico international struck twice, including a late winner, in last weekend's crucial Barclays Premier League victory over Stoke and followed up with another decisive goal against Wolves in the Carling Cup. Ferguson has been impressed by the way he has settled since his move from Guadalajara but never had any doubts he would succeed. The Scot said: "We are not surprised because we identified a lot about him before we signed him. We did a lot of work on him. "Seeing him in pre-season and training we thought he would do well. He is young and wants to learn and he comes from a really good football pedigree. He speaks the language and that is important. "Everything is in his favour. We are all pleased. Everyone is really excited to have him at the club. He has done really well. "His winning goal on Tuesday demonstrated again that he is a very good finisher." Tottenham will once again be without Tom Huddlestone. The midfielder has failed to recover from the ankle injury that forced him to miss last weekend's 1-1 draw with Everton. Captain Ledley King and Vedran Corluka (both groin) are still out, while Jermain Defoe, Michael Dawson (both ligament damage), Jamie O'Hara (back) and Jonathan Woodgate (groin) are long-term absentees. Harry Redknapp insists Manchester United will push Chelsea all the way in the Barclays Premier League title race despite their recent travails. United are unbeaten in the league this season but have drawn more games than they have won. But Spurs boss Redknapp believes once Rooney recovers from an ankle injury and rediscovers his form, Ferguson's men will be back on track. "They've had a few problems, haven't they, obviously losing Rooney with his injury and then another few problems they've had with Rooney," Redknapp said. "When he comes back firing on all cylinders, they'll always be there. "They've got a fantastic manager; he gets the best out of them every year; they produce great teams and I wouldn't write them off. "They'll be right again there pushing all the way for the championship. "Chelsea are obviously favourites at the moment but I don't think Man United will be too far away again come the end of the season."

Match Report
Clattenburg call helps United to win A controversial late goal from Nani and a first-half header by Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic ensured Tottenham's 21-year wait for victory at Old Trafford continues. United captain Vidic opened the scoring with a header after 31 minutes before Nani reacted quickest to some goalmouth confusion to prod home five minutes from time and settle the game 2-0. Spurs were furious with referee Mark Clattenburg for allowing the second goal, scored after goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes placed what he believed to be a dead ball. With just two minutes gone, Park Ji-sung went within a whisker of giving United the lead, taking a couple of touches to line up a shot before letting fly from 25 yards. His low effort had Gomes well beaten but cannoned off the post to safety. Nani also found room to shoot in the opening minutes, but this time Gomes made a straightforward save. Spurs did not allow themselves to be shellshocked by United's busy start and only a precision tackle by Darren Fletcher stopped Aaron Lennon testing Edwin van der Sar after a swift counter-attack in the fourth minute. Rafael van der Vaart then matched Park's earlier effort, holding possession despite tumbling to the floor before rising to curl the ball against the far post. Chances continued to come at both ends - Van der Vaart drilling over for the visitors and Park missing the target after some neat footwork in the Tottenham area. By now, United were looking the better side, and Spurs survived another nervy moment when Gomes spilled Michael Carrick's shot before gathering again with Javier Hernandez lurking. Tottenham looked capable of catching their opponents on the break, but United's attacks were producing more clear-cut opportunities. Fletcher missed one of them after 25 minutes, failing to convert from the edge of the box after some patient approach play from Nani. A clumsy Younes Kaboul challenge after half an hour gave the Red Devils the chance to attack from a set-piece and they duly cashed in. Nani floated in the free-kick in from the left and Vidic eased in front of Benoit Assou-Ekotto to head home. A quickly-taken throw by Gareth Bale, who started despite Harry Redknapp's suggestion that he may be rested, gave Van der Vaart a sight of goal soon after, but he badly mishit his shot. Luka Modric did better with a sweetly-struck half-volley from the Holland star's corner a minute later, but Van der Sar was on hand with a vital diving save. Dimitar Berbatov could have doubled the lead over his old club just before the interval only for a combination of Gomes and William Gallas to stifle him. As in the first half, United came out firing at the start of the second, with both Hernandez and Berbatov just failing to get clean shots away in the opening moments. Robbie Keane and Jermaine Jenas, both drafted in to the starting XI for this match, were looking distinctly off the pace in key positions for Spurs. In the 59th minute, Bale finally gave the away support something to cheer. In a passage reminiscent of his memorable Champions League hat-trick against Inter Milan, he strode past a handful of red shirts and bore down on goal, only to see his shot squirm just wide of Van der Sar's far post. Keane gave way to Roman Pavlyuchenko just past the hour mark, handing the captaincy to Modric in the process. After Van der Vaart failed to beat Van der Sar from a tight angle, Pavlyuchenko almost got lucky when his 25-yard effort nearly found its way over the line courtesy of Vidic's deflection, before Peter Crouch replaced Van der Vaart - who looked in a little discomfort as he left the pitch - in the 77th minute. Nani's controversial strike ended matters, with Clattenburg judging play to be still active when Gomes placed the ball down in his area after an unsuccessful penalty appeal. Gomes clearly believed he was lining up a dead ball but the Portuguese winger was the only one on the referee's wavelength and rolled the ball in to tee up furious scenes of protest by the visitors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — More expensive gas drove up consumer prices in August by the most in three years. But outside energy, inflation was tame.
The Labor Department said Friday that consumer prices rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6 percent last month, the first increase since March. Higher gas prices accounted for 80 percent of the increase. Food prices rose 0.2 percent.

Too early to say. He has the technique and the right approach. It's just one series when he's scored some good runs. Remember the first 100? he lost his wicket almost twice trying to hit the ball over the boundary, Thankfully he had a more experienced Gambhir at the other end who guided Virat to his maiden 100. I hope Virat learns it quickly and cements his place! Suresh raina is one other man who can take the No.3 spot. Rohit sharma is knocking the doors too.. Too early to call him the name that Rahul has been carrying so far!
it is actually too early to jump into any conclusion…he should play a few more matches and then we could probably say anything definitely…but personally…i feel that if he continues in this amazingly good form…then he will definitely make a permanent spot on the Indian squad… he is also an amazing fielder…there's nothing to say about his batting…no words to express it…after he plays a few more matches, we could say if he is the next mr. dependable or not.. there are other batsmen who haven't yet got a proper break in their career…like rohit sharma…
no, no one can take dravid's place…. whether its kholi or gambhir
C.Pujara scores a double century in Ranji… suddenly ppl start talking is he de next Dravid.. Gambir stands for a day.. He is de next wall….. Kohli scores 2 hundreds… now de question is he de new Mr Dependable…. Pandey scores 194.. is he de next wall…..... [:D] well.. No 1 can replace RD.. his style of batting.. his techniqal batting.. no1 has dat.. Kohli and all might rock in their own way….... But der is no replacement for THE WALL
No way!
The shot that he got out today in the finals shows his youthful immaturity. He still has a long long long long way to go…..but he sure is an interesting prospect…..
Actually a very interesting prospect.
Cheers;— Visit Poshin's World
Even more…..Game for Life! ____________________________________ Learn from the past, Hope for the future, live in the present.
toooooo early to say anything…he must play atleast 100 matches and perform in atleast 50 % matches to take that place…
VK has the potential to be Mr . Dependable!!
But still it is early days to conclude bcz he needs to prove in the test cricket too.
A long way to go for sure
As a fan of Kohli…I see him in that staus surely…!
Virat is prety good.,but to attain Dravid's standard long way to go. I wish him all d very best. For me he is India's future Captain.
he is definitely dependable.. he is an eminent player!!!
very early,dont jump into conclusions people.Kohli is good,the next WALL is none other than SUBRAMANIAM BADRINATH!!!!!!
to me dravid cant me compared
Good show today against West indians… Keep it up
He has proved that he is a wonderful player. the future of team India and he can surely be called as the new Mr.Dependable.
yaaaaa he is
Virat is my best player

David Jaffe debuts the Twisted Metal Birthday BundleIt looks like Twisted Metal 1 and Black weren't the only ones joining the fun, as the PSN is getting an all-out four game birthday pack for $39.99. Should you decide to go with the piecemeal approach, the new 2012 Twisted Metal game is on sale for $29.99, 1 and 2 are going for $4.99, and Black is $7.99 -- it'll be running for one week from today.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police officers are testifying about being forced by their superiors to make a certain number of arrests.
Officer Adhyl (aye-dahl') Polanco says he was told he needed 20 summonses, five street stops and one arrest per month. He says it didn't matter whether the stops were done properly.
Polanco testified at a federal trial challenging the constitutionality of some street stops made by police. Other officers are expected to testify Wednesday.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs want to show that officers are not stopping people for valid reasons.
The suit seeks a court-appointed monitor to oversee changes to how the police make stops.
A federal judge will rule on whether the department must make changes.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Hi, I hope someone can advise me by answering a quick question.
I am having problems in sending my newsletters. I can set them up OK and queue them but then they just sit there doing nothing!
I have read on other threads about running them manually by going to: http://www.mydomain/magento/index.php/admin/newsletter_queue/sending (in my case) and this works fine. The newsletter gets sent and all is OK.
I guess that going to this address runs the cron job manually.
My question is, how do I automate this process? I have everything set up in system>configuration>system in the admin for the cron but it doesn't seem to run. Do I need to set it up in my control panel for my hosting provider too? If so, is there a particular syntax I should use to set up the job?
Thanks for any advice.
Hi again, anybody have any thoughts on this? I'd just like to get my newsletters working.
One last bump on this to see if I can get any responses. Is newsletter functionality working fine for everyone else then?
I had same problem, and it was resolved recently. You will solve it quick, you just need to do couple simple things. 1. Ask your host server for correct command line to run cron job on the server. 2. Open your host server panel and create cron job.
Now more details: command line for cron job exist of couple parts: left part where you write path for some libraries (this is what you should ask your host server guys) and right part where you write path to your cron file.
Right part is easy, it looks like http://youdomainname.com/cron.php if your store in a root of your domain. If it is in a folder magento it will look like http://youdomainname.com/magento/cron.php
Left part can look something like /usr/bin/mlget -q -O /dev/null so you need to ask host server guys about that.
So probably whole command line will look like /usr/bin/mlget -q -O /dev/null http://youdomainname.com/cron.php After you will know your correct command line to cron file open your panel on your host server and find somewhere Cronjobs There you need to create cronjob where you will have options to select how often you want run a cron job. Also you will need to enter there your command line. Save it and life would be much easier.
Good luck!
Thanks Oldgamer for your responce. I will raise a ticket with my hosting company and give it a go.
Thanks again oldgamer. This is now sorted.

A Killing Coast - the seventh in the DI Andy Horton Series
Read NowAn investigation into a body found floating in the sea off Portsmouth harbour throws DI Andy Horton's capabilities into question.
Read Now
Not only does he need to find a brutal killer, but now he also has to prove he's still up to the job.
When a body is found floating in the sea off Portsmouth harbour, Detective Inspector Horton initially judges it to be an accidental death. Soon though, to his dismay, he discovers he's got it very wrong. Accused of being incompetent by his boss, and with the head of the Major Crime Team coming down heavily on him, Horton wonders if he's allowed his ongoing investigation into the disappearance of his mother over thirty years ago to cloud his judgement. With no clear motive for the murder, Horton is sucked into a baffling investigation that he is determined to resolve despite the odds. Not only does he need to find a brutal killer, but Horton now has to prove to himself, and others, that he is still up to the job.
'Meticulous police work leads Horton to a particularly callous and ruthless killer as well as theft and blackmail…includes a few unexpected twists." Publishers Weekly
'Multilayered, twisted, and complex...a surprising conclusion and a satisfying read.' Booklist
'If you like police procedurals with a twist, plenty of red herrings, and a strong sense of location, you'll like these.' Mysteries in Paradise (Australia)

Dan "Shoe" Hsu has let loose another post delving into the nitty-gritty of games journalism, and if you thought the gift bags and free jet fighting school was extravagant, you're in for one eye-opening Tuesday morning. Among a litany of questionable activity from several companies, Shoe reports: "Tecmo in the past has treated their American journalist guests to evenings out at Japanese hostess bars, watering holes where women are paid to keep customers company (not necessarily in a 'me so horny!' way ... it's more of a 'let me keep filling your drinks and you are so funny and handsome and wonderful and let me hang on to your every word!' male-insecurities-nuking thing)."
Sure, it's not hooker-level scandalous, but it does clear up why so many reviews for Rygar included lines like "the most moving piece of interactive entertainment of this or any other time. There, Yuki, I said it! Now, will you please just ... love me for me?"

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I got sick of swiching a heavy car seat back and forth to the grandparent's cars, so I went out and purchased this booster. My parents have their own, but they always request that I give them this booster because it's easier to buckle the child into, and it's lightweight enough for my mom who has arthritis in her hands--it's so lightweight she can hold it with one hand. It's cheap price was attractive because I only had less than $30 to spend on a new seat. I got mine on sale for 17 dollars at Walmart. The weight requirement is at least 30 lbs, which is great because most backless boosters require the child be at least 40 lbs. and 4 years old. I do NOT (nor do the manufacturers) recommend this booster if you have a car that has no head rests in the back seats or only an old-school lap belt.

As U.S. Pressures Maliki to Resign, Will the Iraqi Government Collapse?Posted on Jun 21, 2014By Juan Cole
A consensus is forming in Washington that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki must resign, as part of accountability for his failures with his Sunni Arab citizens. Because Washington is so good about demanding accountability. While this analysis is correct, and I have said myself that Iraq would be better off with a different leader, it is not clear that right now is the best time to force al-Maliki out. Washington also has to be careful about trying and failing to get rid of al-Maliki. President Obama and Hillary Clinton wanted to get rid of Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan in 2009; they failed, and therefore had bad relations with Karzai ever after. A potential departure of al-Maliki raises the question of who would take his place. Al-Maliki is the head of the Islamic Mission Party (al-Da'wa al-Islamiyah). This Shiite fundamentalist party won 92 of 328 seats in the parliamentary elections just held. The Da'wa Party was for years covert and still is secretive. We don't know who is on its politburo. It will likely form the next government with or without al-Maliki. Advertisement Square, Site wide The new Da'wa PM will have to attract the support of radical or just committed Shi'ites. Such as the Sadrist movement, the Supreme Council, and the Virtue Party. The Sadrists hate al-Maliki and may find it difficult to cooperate with Da'wa. In 2010 the Kurds put al-Maliki over the top because he was not a hawk on Kirkuk. Now the Kurds have de facto annexed Kirkuk. They have no reason to back anyone. But the Shiite parties only have 155 but need 164 for a majority. There are likely to be months of wrangling before a new PM can be chosen. And maybe it will have to be a minority PM because the parliament is permanently hung. In the meantime, if al-Maliki is deposed, who will command the armed forces? So if you depose al-Maliki, you can't be sure who will take his place. His successor may be even worse. As in Libya, the the government could also collapse. —– Related Video Previous item: What New Details Reveal About Benghazi 'Scandal'—and Its Promoters Next item: Real Business Leaders Want to Save Capitalism New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

Survey Shows Only 58 Percent Of Americans Are Protecting Their Eyes During Outdoor Sports And Activities, Although Most Are Concerned About Eye Health
Outdoor Activities and Use of Sunglasses
Survey respondents considered themselves to be active, with 76 percent walking for fitness, followed by participation in water sports (37%), hiking (35%), camping (33%), outdoor team sports (27%), and cycling (26%). Participation in outdoor activities was similar to a year ago, showing little impact due to the economy.
Of concern in some key sports categories, the survey found that more than 40 percent of runners and 35 percent of water sports participants do not consistently wear sunglasses during these activities, exposing their eyes to potential damage. Only 50 percent of men make it a priority to have the right sunglasses for their sport and for women, it's even less (33%).
Why don't more Americans Wear Sunglasses During Sports?
"Many people don't wear sunglasses during their sport because they've had trouble in the past with clarity and fit," said Dean. "Advancements in sunglass technology have corrected these concerns, and there are now many sunglasses to choose from that don't slip, fog or impair your vision when you perform." "Many people also have no idea there are frames and lenses out there that will enhance their outdoor experience while protecting their eyes," Dean said. Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts can choose from a wide variety of lenses and frames that are both effective and fashionable. Americans Feel Good in Sunglasses Though safety and outdoor conditions are factors in choosing the right sunglasses, Americans definitely like to look and feel good as well. The survey found that 45 percent feel "confident" with their sunglasses on, and 42 percent feel "cool." More than a third feel "sporty" or "safe," and nearly that many feel "healthy." Confidence peaked in New York, where more than half feel "confident" in their sunglasses. Coolness peaked in the southwest, where 57 percent feel "cool" in their sunglasses. "Sporty" was one of the top three feelings while wearing sunglasses in the northeast, southeast, and west. Almost a third of women feel "glamorous" in sunglasses compared to only 10 percent of men, and more women feel "classic." Men feel more "masculine," "serious" and "rugged." Many associate sunglasses with iconic sports moments, and nearly 30 percent recalled Lance Armstrong winning the Tour de France as the most notable sunglass moment in sports. Tips for Choosing the Right Pair of Sunglasses- Polarized lenses are helpful for activities that require glare reduction. These activities include outdoor pursuits such as fishing, boating, kayaking and sand volleyball.
- Select glasses or goggles with polycarbonate lenses. These lenses are impact and shatter resistant and filter out 100 percent of UV light.
- Different colors work best for different sports. For example, golfers can benefit from lenses with amber, brown or rose tint. These tints enhance depth perception and help with following the ball in low or medium light conditions.
- Consider the safety features you need for your activity. Many performance sunglasses are designed to address specific safety concerns such as protecting from sudden impact, shielding from flying debris and improving visibility in challenging terrain.
- A good fit is critical. If sunglasses do not fit properly, they can't protect properly. Many performance sunglasses have special features that allow them to stay in place during activities such as running, cycling and climbing. In addition, value added features have begun to find their place on active lifestyle or sport inspired sunglasses, allowing the wearer to look and feel great.
- Bigger is better. Wrap around lenses sometimes work best because they block light and wind coming in from the sides and allow peripheral vision, a must for cyclists. In addition, larger lenses may be more effective because they cover more of the eye.

DC's gay marriage law survives court challenge
The DC Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that Washington was within its rights to block a popular vote on same-sex marriage because the results could violate its human rights law. The city legalized gay marriage in March.
Jacquelyn Martin/AP
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals effectively upheld gay marriage in the nation's capital by legitimizing the city's decision to block a popular vote on the issue.
In a 5-4 decision published Thursday, the court agreed that Washington's Board of Elections and Ethics had the right to deny an initiative measure on the city's recently passed law legalizing same-sex marriage.
Opponents of the law, led by area pastors, were confident that the majority of Washingtonians would have voted against gay marriage if given the chance.
They argued that residents of the District "are … entitled to voice their views through their votes on this important issue" – just like the voters in 31 states where gay marriage has been on the ballot. Every time the question of same-sex marriage has been put to voters, they have voted against it.
But that could have conflicted with the District's 1973 "Human Rights Law," which declares that "[e]very individual shall have an equal opportunity to participate … in all aspects of life."
The question, according the court, was whether such an initiative measure "would authorize or have the effect of authorizing discrimination on a basis prohibited by the Human Rights Act."
"We have no difficulty concluding that the proposed initiative would do so," the court majority wrote.
While the decision was close, even the four-judge minority (which questioned the basis on which the DC Board of Elections rejected the initiative) agreed that the referendum could have been discriminatory.

Flagstaff Lake Hut, Maine
Hide and seek: Embark on a quest for your inner Thoreau in the western Maine wilderness.
Shallow waters and an undeveloped shoreline make 20,000-acre Flagstaff Lake a favorite among canoeists and kayakers. The eponymous hut is actually a handsome ten-room lodge opened in 2009 as part of a new system of backcountry hut-to-hut trails for hikers, skiers, and paddlers alike. The Bigelow Mountain Range, with summits topping 4,000 feet, sits just out the back door; the Québec border lies just 30 miles away. Moose and landlocked salmon swim in the lake's cool waters; boats and personal flotation devices are free to borrow for members of Maine Huts & Trails (membership, which also gets you discounts on lodging, is $35). By backcountry standards, this lodge is the Ritz: radiant heat, hot showers with shampoo dispensers, Maine wild blueberry pie. But still, hair dryers are verboten in the shared bunkrooms (the hut produces its own limited electricity), and you'll need to stuff your backpack with a pillowcase, towel, and sleeping bag along with your fleece and fishing gear. Plus, of course, a journal.
Find your way: The trailhead is about a three-hour drive from Portland. From there, it's a two-mile hike to Flagstaff Lake Hut. Ambitious types can continue on a 30-mile hut-to-hut journey.

+1 on what Drumjunkie had to say. I too own one of their AR uppers and I would say their milling and machining iis top notch. I would think that this would apply to their pistols as well, and from what I have read, all the editors that have shot these seem to like em just fine. I don't know where I could find one of these pistols though. I sure would like to have one.
In that video is he trying to sell a Doublestar pistol or an Ed Brown??

I found this recipe online and modified it for my own needs. The ingredients work best when you make two batches at once, as Gimme Lean comes in 14 oz tubes, and eggs come in 6, 12 or 18 size containers. The original recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of black pepper and I love pepper so that works for me, but you might want to cut back a bit if you aren't as much of a fan as I am.These will last in the fridge for three days, and in the freezer for a month, which helps a lot when making two batches at once.Submitted by: LOTSACATS

IC: Unorxid (Metru-Sumonu)Unfortunately for Vorasku, Unorxid caught sight of the Po-Matoran and took off, heading towards the outer edge of the city. Glancing over his shoulder every once in a while to check if the Stone Matoran was still following, he pondered a few things over in his head. 'I will lead him into my trap, then show him my evil plan and execute it right in front of his heroic eyes! I shall triumph over good!'"Muahahahahaha!"Zakaro
IC: Vorasku
This is getting to be more trouble than it's worth. Still, I need to find out what that Matoran is up to, and if I have been targeted for a reason. After this thought, Vorasku ran after Unorxid, slowly narrowing the distance between them.

IC (Karoro, Metru-Sumonu): "That would be me" proclaimed Karoro, stepping thrpough the hole in the wall that Nokaron's body had made. He hadn't followed immediately because he had pacified the barfight before keeping after his original target. To be honest, he was surprised that Skakdi still had it in him to limp off after being thrown around by two beings with super-strength. "Karoro - Metru-Sumonu Guard" he introduced himself. "Apparently I owe you some thanks for knocking that criminal around".IC: Viloz (Metru-Sumonu)Viloz alleviated the pressure on Norkaron for a moment then removed his foot. He snatched the widgets away with a deft hand and quickly counted the widgets promised to him. Satisfied, a small grin crept onto his face as he stood behind the Skakdi laying on the floor. That bargain earned him what the meal cost plus an extra two-hundred in total.Score."Now then...where's the person who had the lovely thought of throwing you out of that bar?"

IC: Vorasku
Vorasku had been gaining on the Matoran when he saw him going behind a large rock. Thinking that odd, he slowed his pace, though he soon began to run again, thinking that Unorxid had simply ran behind the rock for a short time, and would then begin running again. As he neared the pit, he wondered where Unorxid had gone. However, before he had time to stop, he had tripped and fallen into the pit, landing hard on his back.

Vorasku looked up, and noticed he was trapped, which angered him to a significant degree. Still, it was only one Matoran, and one that Vorasku did not doubt he could fight if he had to. After hearing Unorxid's speech, Vorasku couldn't help but laugh a little. This guy? An evil mastermind? At length, Vorasku spoke: "What reason do you have to trap me down here?" he asked, in a tone showing his anger.

OOC: So can I take that as saying he won't try to escape on the journey? If so, here's the result. If not, PM me and I'll change it to something more suitable.IC (Karoro, Metru-Sumonu): Karoro attracted more than a few odd looks as he walked down the street carrying a Skakdi-sized bundle of webbing which occasionally wriggled uncomfortably, but he didn't concern himself much over them. He did plenty of things he would prefer that the public didn't know about, and he wasn't about to start explaining himself to them now. The walk took him about half an hour to get back to the Guard station, which sat on top of a hill near the city's edge. He tiredly waved his identification at the guards on the main gate, and they let him on through without question. Nokaron wasn't the first felon he had brought in wrapped up in webs, and while it was far from standard proceedure, nobody had yet tried to argue with the results.Taking a key out of his armour, he carried the Skakdi to a smaller building separate from the main headquarters. This was where the MSG kept their captives before they could be transferred to Gesph. He unlocked the heavy iron door and pulled it open to reveal a stoen staincase that lead underground. A pair of guards met them at the bottom, and curiously eyed the package Karoro was carrying. "Here's a new one for you" Karoro told them, shrugging the bundle off his shoulder and letting it fall to the floor. "Skakdi. Shoots lightning and heat beams. Theft, destruction of property, resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, and whatever else I can think of to throw at him."The guards nodded their understanding, and went to move the Skakdi into his very own prison cell, complete with bare stone walls, and just enough room to lie down in. They didn't bother with removing the webs - they seemed to be doing a good enough job at holding him, and they wouldn't need to actually see the Skakdi until it was decided what to do with him. Meanwhile, Karoro left him in their capable hands while he tiredly walked back up the stairs and out of the jail. He would have to report to his superior officer about the chase and inform the relevant beings that they had a new passenger for the next trip down to Gesph.IC (Hatann, Metru-Sumonu): Across town in a rather differnt base of operations, Hatann was relaxing and recovering from his latest excursion. The black Skakdi reclined contentedly in a large tub of steaming hot water, letting the dead Vortixx's blood soak off his armour and flow away. It was good, he reflected, being one of the bosses in the Black Sickle gang. It afforded one certain luxuries that the common criminal wouldn't noramlly get, as well as the opportunities for increased profit and power. Profit that this Skakdi felt was put to excellent use in his private spa.Now, speaking of profit, he had made pleasing amounts that day, but even with the hard work over, he wasn't quite finished yet. there was still the matter of delivering the spoils to his client. Raising himself up out of the water, he found a tablet and quickly wrote a message on it, informing the toa that he had been successful in his endeavour and that the transaction could be completed in a rented room at the Dark Abyss Saloon. Signing off the message with a crude sketch of a scorpion, he prepared himself for the outing. He repacked his backpack with the wealth he had stripped from the Vortixx's home, and more carefully this time, wrapping it in rags to make sure it wouldn't rattle as he moved and betry what the bag held. He replaced the zamors he had spent with fresh ones from his stock before tightening his armour, grabbing his launcher and mace and covertly slinking out of Black Sickle HQ.He moved almost silently across the city, heading for the house of Viloz. Nobody batted an eyelid as he passed by, thanks in part to the long eveining shadows, but more to Hatann's millennia of practise at stealthily avoiding his enemies and infiltrating their homes. He pushed the tablet underneath Viloz's door, knowing the message would be recieved whenever the toa returned home, and then went to wait at the Saloon. If the toa knew what was good for him, he would not be waiting long.IC: NorkaronThis was unexpected. Now that trying to burn his way out of the webbing would take too long, Norkaron would have to gamble on the fact that he may or may not be thrown into jail rather than being promptly executed. If they decided to give him the axe, well, not much he could do about that. Still, he could escape, but without the element of surprise, that would just be asking for your death on a silver platter.

i've written so many poems
about love and luck and the
unbearable sadness that surfaces
whenever i think about you.
but you isn't a person,
you is a metaphor for the
birds suffocating in the clouds and the
leaves fighting off the wind.
and when i see flowers
all i can think of is death;
because i am a poet,
and my kind of poetry is the
kind that keeps me up all night,
as i memorize the ceiling
and count every minute
until the sun rises.
it's the kind that makes me
wish for a bridge because then
maybe i could finally be free.
my kind of poetry,
it's the kind that kills me.

In America, marijuana prohibition has become the new Jim Crow. In places like Texas, where justice is bought by those who can afford it, a few seeds are enough to send a black or Hispanic to jail for decades, but a few hundred pounds aren't enough to send a judge's son away overnight.
"Connect The Dots" misses America's Empire, so it is no wonder he wants to keep a drug that doesn't encourage violent behavior illegal. But while the chicken hawks and proud alcohol addicts complain about marijuana, 58% of Americans want cannabis legalized. It is time for democracy to trump religious-based intolerance and extremism.

You can write the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at:
10 Downing Street
Source: http://www.number10.gov.uk/
Loved this! and might I just add:
if I wanted to live in Paris – I would move to Paris. I was so proud of London a couple of years back when Paris had to deal with several weeks of riots in some of their suburbs. And look at us now – almost French! Come on Britain! You can do better. I will sign your petition to the president;)
I was actually living in Paris for those riots, and now London for these. I fear I might be unintentionally inciting riots all over western Europe.
If Luxembourg starts rioting next, it will be confirmed.
Awesome. My sentiments exactly.
Can you work on one to Chile too? We didn't invent civility, but we do have a President rather than a Prime Minister, so we've got that going for us at least.
Haha awesome,
But we don't have a president ?
Everyones needs to have a cup of tea and chill.
seriously, grab a freaking crumpet and COOL IT.
I did not know until now that we, as a country, have a very girly signature.
Until you fully understand the true nature of the social unrest in the UK it is probably best not to comment on it. I have just moved to Asia to get away from it. You can feel the anger on the streets as the hard working people are taxed 40%. To pay for the mistakes of the rich few. I totally agree with what is going on. If the government won't listen then who will? The PM has had to cut his holiday short that says it all really! Everything could have been avoided if people on the streets were listened to instead of being ignored.
Guy, I hope you DON'T know that the people looting and plundering in the streets don't even know what started the whole thing, and that they're doing it just to get a new TV for free.
I hope you DON'T know that there are innocent hard-working people whose lives are being ruined because of such people.
I hope you DON'T realize that by doing all this, whatever the reasoning behind the protests were in the first place, NO LONGER MATTERS!
It's like a man who hits a woman and says " I did it BECAUSE.."
Doesn't MATTER why you fucking did it. YOU DID WRONG!
And I hope humanity's sake, that you're saying all that you are, cos you DON'T realize all this.
Guy, you're sounding an idiot. This isn't a protest. It *started* as a protest, and that was peaceful and had a point to make. This? This is looting, pillaging and violence.
Anyone who agrees with it is agreeing with mob rule, and has no place in this country.
The people who are causing the riots aren't protesters – they're criminals. In 99% of cases they're not making political statements – and the 1% who *are* have given up the right to have a say in the running of this country by acting in this profoundly unacceptable way.
If you can't do the math, that's 100%.
– an Englishman, in England
Come on Guy – how can you agree with this? They don't have any demands, nothing – they are just robbing people who can't defend themselves and setting cars on fire. I can't see how that is a productive way to bring a change (unless the change they are seeking is to go to prison of course). And by the way I live in London so you are not the only authority on London on the internet:)
@Everywhereist – I totally got your humour re president – very british and subtle!
Le sigh. Phuck it, let's all eat cake.
I realise that I'm a bit late to the party, but I'll comment anyway:
There were valid reasons for the original relatively small, local protest but the protest was hijacked by looters and gangs, and stupid kids who just saw an opportunity to join in and grab something. And, it didn't just happen in London; it happened in other big cities too and some kids even tried to organise looting in a few small towns, but hardly anybody turned up oweing to lack of interest.
Actually, it wasn't technically rioting because, and not many people know this, for people to be charged with Riot in the UK, the Riot Act must have been read, publicly, by a Magistrate. I was present when that happened during the race riots in Bradford, Yorkshire, several years ago which was a truly horrible and scarring experience. It enabled judges to send rioters down for five years or more, which is considered to be a heavy sentence in this country. The sentences meeted out in the recent disturbances were relatively mild.
Guy – sorry, but you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Oh, and I meant to say that the original protest was pretty much peaceful, in spite of being about an armed police unit trying to alter the evidence about who fired first when they shot a local armed robber a couple of days previously.
i just wanted to say thankyou for addressing this to england and not the uk as scotland had NOTHING to do with it!
i love england i even went all the way there to catch a future husband and sexy he is too yum!
england we are ashamed of you and agree with america and will also say walt invented harry potter even though J.K wrote it in scotland and infact still lives here today, but it will be worth the lack of credit!

Associated Press
BAYTOWN, Texas -- A rapist who has struck at least five times since April in and around Baytown has not only spread fear in this working-class community but also piqued the interest of those who study the criminal mind.
The reason: He preys on other men.
That makes him something of a rarity in the world of crime.
"It's the least prevalent kind of serial rape, and largely underreported," said Jack Levin, a leading criminologist and director of the Brudnick Center on Violence at Northeastern University in Boston.
Levin and other experts say male-on-male rape sometimes stems from sexual encounters gone bad. But that does not appear to be the case with the rapist in this oil-refining town of 70,000 people about 30 miles east of Houston.
Instead, he methodically identifies and stalks young men and attacks them at gunpoint or knifepoint in or near their homes, according to police Capt. Roger Clifford. Sometimes he robs his victims, too, but rape appears to be the primary motivation, police said.
Three of the attacks have occurred in the city, the other two on the outskirts of town. The most recent attack was Nov. 30. Clifford would not give details of the rapes but said at least one victim managed to thwart the attack.

Any deals on Bluetooth or 2.5mm headphones would be lovely. Not gonna lie, I'd much rather have a brand name and pay a bit more, too.
Thanks loveliest of CAGers!
