The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday said the southwest monsoon is all set to withdraw, even as the deficiency in the cumulative rainfall for the season as a whole increased marginally from 20 to 21 per cent over the past week.
In a press release, the IMD said the monsoon was likely to start withdrawing from west Rajasthan in about four to five days.
But, fairly widespread rainfall activity was likely over northeast and south peninsular India and scattered rainfall was expected over Gangetic West Bengal and coastal Orissa.
Repeated estimates
In the original forecast issued in April, the IMD predicted that the rainfall for the country as a whole and for the entire season would be 96 per cent of the long period average (LPA). It was subsequently downgraded to 93 per cent in July and then to 87 per cent in August.
The tally as of now is 79 per cent of the LPA. It could go up and down from this level depending on the quantum of rainfall over the next week or two, as the withdrawal will not happen at one go across the country.
As per the present forecast, it is likely to start in four to five days.
But, it is not known as to how long it will take for the system to withdraw entirely from the entire country. The monsoon this year has been one of the worst.
As of Wednesday, as many as 38 meteorological sub-divisions of the total of 533 in the country (7 per cent) were in the "scanty" rainfall category, with a deficiency of over 60 per cent, and 260 others (50 per cent) were in the "deficient" category, with the deficiency ranging from 20 to 59 per cent.
Worst hit
The northwest region, comprising Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan was the worst hit this year, with the deficiency in the cumulative rainfall continuing to be 32 per cent as of Wednesday.
The northeast region, comprising the north-eastern States, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal came next with a deficiency of 26 per cent. Central India, comprising Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Orissa, and Jharkhand followed with a deficiency of 17 per cent.
The south peninsular region, comprising Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar Islands suffered the least, with only 8 per cent. In all, out of 35 States and Union Territories, only 14 could register excess or normal rainfall.
They are: Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal, Orissa, Assam, Tripura, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Legal Document Assembly Software
Increase Firm Profitability
ContractExpress is used by some of the world's most prestigious law firms to drive document drafting efficiency and reduce unrecoverable hours, increasing partner profits. Law firms are under intense pressure to provide high quality service at lower cost. ContractExpress is used widely as a client draft generator enabling law firm partners, associates and paralegals to rapidly and accurately draft client documents for subsequent deal negotiations. The potential for increasing profits by saving time in fixed fee engagements is substantial, as document assembly can reduce the time to draft client documents from hours to minutes. When generating multiple sets of documents the time savings can be even greater; answering one questionnaire can generate a complete set of documents, including schedules and attachments.
ContractExpress not only improves partner profitability, but helps win new clients and retain existing clients by making possible the compelling combination of better service at lower cost.
Easy Template Set-Up
Our proven Word based template creation tool eliminates the delays, errors, loss of trust, costs, and overall lack of feasibility that occur when attorneys are forced by the limitations of their document assembly technology to work with programmers to automate their legal templates. ContractExpress is a scalable solution that can be deployed across the entire firm.
Benefits of Document Assembly
Increase productivity
Using document assembly enables quicker first draft generation and the option to create a suite of documents from only one questionnaire.
ContractExpress saves both time and human resource required to generate the first draft of a document, enabling law firms to respond quicker to their clients' demands.Trusted content
Our user-friendly template creation tool for Microsoft Word is designed by lawyers for lawyers. ContractExpress Author eliminates the delays, errors, loss of trust, costs and lack of feasibility associated with limiting solutions that require working with programmers to automate templates.
Guaranteed accuracy & consistency
Ensuring first draft consistency and accuracy secures document quality across all practice areas. Through document assembly, firms can set the level of excellence for their documents, ensure consistent style and protect the firm's brand image.
Retain domain knowledge & expertise
Protect the law firm against vulnerability from lateral moves by harnessing the expertise of the firm's attorneys in document assembly templates.
Focus fee earner time:
Streamlining the document creation process makes better use of fee earner time by removing the more laborious aspects of contract drafting. This in turn frees up lawyer time to dedicate to more challenging, higher value work, resulting in a more satisfied workforce and better service delivery to clients.
Fully styled documents
Generated documents will be one or more fully compliant .doc, .docx or locked PDFs. Each document is meaningfully named and fully styled, with numbering, cross references, pagination, headers/footers, footnotes, and table of contents – all as determined by the Word template using standard law firm Word styles and tools, and all without requiring any post assembly intervention to apply or correct Word styling.
Win & Retain Key Clients
Internal document assembly can offer firms a lot of advantages. However, to win and retain key clients firms must offer something truly innovative. Today's most competitive law firms differentiate their services by offering document automation directly to their clients. To attract new clients law firms leverage document assembly to showcase their capabilities on their websites. Learn more about how you can plug into your clients' business.
Roundtripping the Safe Way
Combining manual and generated changes in negotiating documents
ContractExpress Drafter assists lawyers to safely and intuitively roundtrip and combine existing manual edits of the Word document with generated changes made by updating the answers within the ContractExpress questionnaire (such as changing a commercial credit
agreement from a term loan to a revolver loan).

Can 'Occupy Wall Street' really get money out of politics?
While 'Occupy Wall Street' has avoided specifying demands, money in politics is a clear target. Supporters of campaign-finance reform hope the movement gives their cause momentum.
Elaine Thompson/AP
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement has been catching flak for its perceived lack of clear goals, but the protests have already put new energy behind one big idea: reforming the role of money in politics.
Advocates of campaign finance reform say the protesters in New York and elsewhere have, in recent weeks, brought the question of corporate influence closer to the front burner of national discourse, adding fresh momentum to their own efforts.
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am," says Annabel Park, founder and president of Coffee Party USA, a group that promotes campaign finance reform with grass-roots support. "It's like a miracle," she says. Even though many Americans worry about the money in politics, "it's hard to get people's attention on this."
Ms. Park says she's seen synergy between her group and Occupy Wall Street, which has spawned a range of nationwide demonstrations since protesters set up camp in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park on Sept. 17. Some Coffee Party followers have joined in Occupy rallies. And Park says she's seen a rise in public support for her own group over the past month.
Even before Occupy Wall Street began, the Coffee Party was planning an "Enough is enough" rally in Washington on Oct. 29. That event could see its ranks grow, as it now becomes part of a larger season of protest in America.

Arab Awakening Foreign Policy War and Peace World Leaders Global Organizations Regions and Countries
In a 1996 Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies paper prepared for Binyamin Netanyahu, the authors---including Richard Perle and Douglas Feith, now, respectively, chair of the De
Doomed by the incoherence of a foreign policy defined largely by biblical notions of the struggle between good and evil, the Bush Administration thrashes about in its hunt for the devil.
In 1998 the World Bank notified the Bolivian government that it would
refuse to guarantee a $25 million loan to refinance water services in
the Bolivian city of Cochabamba unless the local government sold its
public water utility to the private sector and passed on the costs to
consumers. Bolivian authorities gave the contract to a holding company
for US construction giant Bechtel, which immediately doubled the price
of water. For most Bolivians, this meant that water would now cost more
than food. Led by Oscar Olivera, a former machinist turned union
activist, a broad-based movement of workers, peasants, farmers and
others created La Coordinadora de Defensa del Agua y de la Vida (the
Coalition in Defense of Water and Life) to deprivatize the local water
In early 2000 thousands of Bolivians marched to Cochabamba in a showdown
with the government, and a general strike and transportation stoppage
brought the city to a standstill. In spite of mass arrests, violence and
several deaths, the people held firm; in the spring of that year, the
company abandoned Bolivia and the government revoked its hated
privatization legislation. With no one to run the local water company,
leaders of the uprising set up a new public company, whose first act was
to deliver water to the poorest communities in the city. Bechtel,
meanwhile, is suing the government of Bolivia for $25 million at the
World Bank's International Centre for the Settlement of Investment
In South Africa, the only country in the world where people's right to
water is actually written into the Constitution, the townships
surrounding cities like Johannesburg and Durban have become hotbeds of
resistance to water privatization. More than 10 million residents have
had their water cut off since the government implemented a World
Bank-inspired "cost recovery" program (which makes availability
dependent on a company's ability to recover its costs plus a
profit)--something that never happened in the worst days of apartheid.
More than 100,000 people in Kwazulu-Natal province became ill with
cholera recently after water and sanitation services to local
communities were cut off for nonpayment.
Water is at the heart of every fight in this country, where the
population is growing four times faster than the water supply and where
women collectively walk the equivalent of going to the moon and back
sixteen times a day to fetch water for their families. Access to water
is a deeply political issue. Six hundred thousand white farmers consume
60 percent of the country's water supplies for irrigation, while 15
million blacks have no direct access to water. Labor unions like the
South African Municipal Workers Union work with township activists to
organize neighborhood-by-neighborhood resistance, re-hooking up the
water supply and pulling out water meters. Such actions are a growing
sign that citizens are prepared to challenge by action, when they cannot
by law, injustices often originating with foreign-owned firms but
implemented by their own governments.
Several weeks on from the loya jirga national council, the
streets of Kabul have an extra bustle. Whereas in January the place was
deserted by 6 pm, now the curfew has been extended to midnight, and it
costs only $5 to buy the password that can allow your taxi to careen
through checkpoints into the early hours. The chaotic rhythms of Indian
music waft over jingling bicycles and tooting cars, while chai
khanas, ubiquitous teahouses, are full--as are the growing number of
restaurants, frequented by the thousands of foreign aid workers and
other internationals. Increasing numbers of women cross through the
center of town, adorned with a light head scarf rather than the stifling
blue nylon burqa. Fresh life is palpable.
But not far below the surface, the loya jirga has changed little
in the country. The suave President Hamid Karzai ostensibly presides
with new legitimacy over a more representative administration. But
except for juggling one of the ethnic Tajik-run power ministers, the
so-called Panjshiri mafia of the old Northern Alliance mujahedeen
fighters remains firmly in control, not only at the top but among the
practical levers of control such as police chiefs, secret service heads
and army commanders.
Without his own power base, Karzai is seen by some as less a real chief
executive than a liberal opposition figure against his own
Cabinet--offering no apparent strategy for securing and unifying the
fractious country. "The only question," according to Paul Bergne, a
former British special envoy to Afghanistan, "is whether this is because
he has no interest, or simply a reasonable interest, in staying alive."
Especially with the exclusion from power of former King Zahir Shah, the
majority Pashtuns, concentrated in the south, where the Taliban emerged,
feel disfranchised and demoralized. Rubbing salt in the wound, pictures
of the martyred Ahmed Shah Massoud, the rebel leader killed by the
Taliban on September 9, adorn every checkpoint, office and street
corner, and even prayer mats on sale in the city markets.
Soon after the loya jirga, Vice President Haji Qadeer, an ethnic
Pashtun, was gunned down in front of his office by two assailants, who
escaped easily. The United States quickly agreed to provide American
soldiers to serve as bodyguards for a somewhat panicked
Karzai--doubtless a prudent security measure, but one viewed as shameful
by Afghans worried that their leader is Washington's puppet. Meanwhile,
public anger over continuing deaths of Afghan civilians at the hands of
US rocket fire--such as the 175 casualties at a wedding in the tense
southern province of Oruzgan--compelled even Karzai himself to complain.
Separate UN and US investigations into the incident have been launched,
amid speculation that the reports will never be released or that the
most damaging conclusions--including alleged American removal of
evidence--will be redacted. International troops are seen as essential
for keeping the local fighting at bay, but Pashtuns bitterly question
why the bulk of civilian casualties appear to be among Pashtun-majority
areas in the south.
The overwhelming majority of the country's 20 million-odd people are
still poor, ill and unemployed. Basic statistics confirm that the
country remains at the bottom ranking of many development indexes,
whether infant mortality, girls' enrollment in primary education (under
10 percent), annual deaths from diarrhea (85,000) or chronic
unemployment, which cannot even begin to be measured.
Afghan officials--facing growing pressure from their own
constituents--have been raising ever sharper alarms about the pace of
aid payments. According to the US special envoy, only around one-third
of the $1.8 billion in aid pledged for the year at an international
donors' conference in Tokyo has been released. Kabul earns tax revenues
of less than 15 percent of its $600 million annual budget. As a result,
most aid has been spent either on humanitarian needs or simply on the
daily costs of government. There have essentially been no major
reconstruction works that would pump funds into the economy and rebuild
the country's devastated infrastructure.
The first postwar administration in any society is inevitably
problematic. Without any conditions for democracy--too many guns and
recalcitrant warlords, no free press or civic institutions for
independent organizing, no functioning economy--establishing a
legitimate and representative administration is not easy. As the Bush
Administration insists, enormous changes have indeed taken place.
Whatever the problems, conditions are vastly improved from the
circumstances of only a few months ago--when the country was plagued by
severe persecution and increasing food shortages with seemingly no hope.
Indeed, some Afghans respond sharply to any probing questions about the
costs and benefits of the US intervention. "Those are questions for a
Western perspective," remarked a senior local editor. "For us, we are
glad the Taliban are gone."
Yet the risks of an unattended Afghanistan remain high. The transitional
administration faces an enormous challenge, aiming to pave the way for
truly democratic elections in 2004 while striving to balance conflicting
and often violent local interests, and struggling to sustain
international support. The core conflict, however, may be between
America's pursuit of Al Qaeda and Afghan democracy itself: The US
military directly supports many Afghan warlords as allies in its effort
to stamp out Al Qaeda and Taliban holdouts. Continuing that policy will
have a devastating effect on efforts to establish democratic central
government and a meaningful civil society. This is especially true
considering that, despite US training efforts, the establishment of an
effective Afghan national army is years away, and Washington and other
Western governments repeatedly reject Afghan calls--recently joined by
Senators Joseph Biden, Richard Lugar and Barbara Boxer--to extend the
international security assistance force to major cities other than
As a result, the government's authority effectively ends at the
capital's edge. As a result, too, peace could be short-lived. As BBC
regional specialist Behrouz Afagh-Tebrizi notes, "There is a consensus
to avoid a return to war, but there has not been any change in political
culture. Unless the unresolved conflict between the warlords of the
1990s is transformed into a purely political struggle, it is not hard to
see Afghanistan descending back into violence."
This past week confirmed that the American political establishment is
not united in support of the Bush Administration's policy of forcible
"regime change" in Iraq. Odd as it may seem, the strongest expression of
doubt came from a key member of the GOP's right wing, House majority
leader Dick Armey. Expressing concern that an unprovoked attack on Iraq
would violate international law, Armey was quoted as saying that such an
attack "would not be consistent with what we have been as a nation or
what we should be as a nation." Meanwhile, Armey's colleague across the
aisle, Carl Levin, voiced the thinking of many of his fellow Democrats
when he argued that "containment of Saddam is so far working."
Armey and Levin are just two of a number of important political
actors--including several prominent senators, forces within the military
and worried figures on Wall Street--who have recently expressed qualms
about the proposed military invasion. These voices need to be amplified
and reinforced by others if the United States is to avoid a potentially
disastrous intervention in the Middle East.
Arguably the most important doubters, because only Congress is
empowered by the Constitution to declare war, are the members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee. At their July 31-August 1 hearings on Iraq, chairman Joseph Biden Jr. and other committee
members--while taking pains to make clear that they, too, think Saddam
Hussein must go--emphasized that the aim of the hearings was not to
rally support for or against an invasion but rather to raise questions
and concerns. "Here we have a situation [about] which, clearly, we need
to know much more," Republican Senator Richard Lugar explained in his
opening remarks. Intense questioning of possible US moves is essential,
he added, because "the life of the country is at stake."
Another significant indication of elite concern was articles in the
New York Times and the Washington Post reporting serious
divisions within the US military and business class over the merits of
the proposed invasion. If these articles are accurate--and there is no
reason to assume otherwise--many senior military officers fear that US
intervention will produce chaos in the Middle East and lead to a costly,
dangerous and long-term American occupation of Iraq. Likewise, senior
corporate officials are said to fear a drop in consumer spending
resulting from rising oil prices, as well as a heightened risk of
None of these groups can be described as flat-out opponents of an
American invasion. Most would probably support the President--even cheer
him wildly--if US intervention was thought certain to result in a
speedy, casualty-free occupation of Baghdad and the replacement of
Saddam with a democratic, pro-Western, peace-seeking regime. The
problem, in their eyes, is that Bush can guarantee none of this. And
while readers of The Nation might wish to raise more fundamental
issues--such as whether the United States has a legal or moral right to
initiate a unilateral assault--the concerns among the country's elite
deserve widespread public attention. They can be compressed into nine
critical questions:
1. Why engage in a risky and potentially calamitous invasion of Iraq
when the existing strategy of "containment"--entailing no-fly zones,
sanctions, technology restraints and the deployment of US forces in
surrounding areas--not only has clearly succeeded in deterring Iraqi
adventurism for the past ten years but also in weakening Iraq's military
2. Why has the Administration found so little international support for
its proposed policy, even among our closest friends and allies (with the
possible exception of Britain's Tony Blair), and what would be the
consequences if Washington tried to act without their support and
without any international legal authority? Isn't it dangerous and unwise
for the United States to engage in an essentially unilateral attack on
3. Is the United States prepared to accept significant losses of
American lives--a strong possibility in the projected intense ground
fighting around Baghdad and other urban areas?
4. Is the United States prepared to inflict heavy losses on Iraq's
civilian population if, as expected, Saddam concentrates his military
assets in urban areas? Would this not make the United States a moral
pariah in the eyes of much of the world?
5. Wouldn't an invasion of Iraq aimed at the removal of Saddam Hussein
remove any inhibitions he might have regarding the use of chemical and
biological (and possibly nuclear) weapons, making their use more rather
than less likely?
6. Are we prepared to cope with the outbreaks of anti-American protest
and violence that, in the event of a US attack on Iraq, are sure to
erupt throughout the Muslim world, jeopardizing the survival of pro-US
governments in Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia and further inflaming the
Israeli-Palestinian crisis?
7. Can the fragile American economy withstand a sharp rise in oil
prices, another decline in air travel, a bulging federal deficit, a drop
in consumer confidence and other negative economic effects that can be
expected from a major war in the Middle East? And what would an invasion
mean for an even more fragile world economy and for those emerging
markets that depend on selling their exports to the United States and
that are vulnerable to rising oil prices?
8. Even if we are successful in toppling Saddam, who will govern Iraq
afterward? Will we leave the country in chaos (as we have done in
Afghanistan)? Or will we try to impose a government in the face of the
inevitable Iraqi hostility if US forces destroy what remains of Iraq's
infrastructure and kill many of its civilians?
9. Are we willing to deploy 100,000 or more American soldiers in Iraq
for ten or twenty years (at a cost of tens of billions of dollars a
year) to defend a US-imposed government and prevent the breakup of the
country into unstable Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite mini-states?
So far, the Bush Administration has not provided honest or convincing
answers to any of these questions. It is essential, then, that
concerned Americans ask their Congressional representatives to demand
answers to these (and related) questions from the White House and hold
further hearings to weigh the credibility of the Administration's
answers. It is vital that our representatives play their rightful
constitutional role in this fateful decision. The American public
clearly would welcome such moves: A recent Washington Post-ABC
News poll found that while a majority support the President at this
point, they want him to seek authorization from Congress and approval of
America's allies before going ahead. And when asked whether they would
favor a ground war if it were to produce "significant" US casualties,
support plummeted to 40 percent and opposition rose to 51 percent. If
you worry about the future of America, clip or copy these nine questions
and include them in letters to your senators and representative. In
addition, get involved locally: Help organize a teach-in, write a letter
to your newspaper, raise the subject at civic meetings.
They want not just a US invasion of Iraq but "total war" against Arab
Saad Eddin Ibrahim prepared a statement to close his trial in front of the Egyptian Supreme State Security Court, but the judge sentenced him before he had a chance to read it.
In a column from 2002, Robert Scheer takes a look back at the Bush Administrations's real motivation to go to war.

" | Down with GDI! - Militants, never too happy about the GDI | " |
The Brotherhood of Nod militants are the millions-strong irregulars of the Brotherhood following the Firestorm Crisis.
Militants are primarily disillusioned (or possibly ecstatic) men and women who have suffered from harsh lives in Yellow Zones and have been attracted to service in the Nod armed forces by the latter's relief efforts. The use of militia plays an important role for Nod, the inevitable product of the "Control The Media, Control The Mind" social doctrine, with commanders preferring to sacrifice their militant auxiliaries rather than endanger the thin ranks of the surviving Nod regulars and "true believers" who comprise the Brotherhood's cherished elite troops, such as Shadow Teams and Black Hand troopers.
Militants wear drab, gray hooded jackets and pants, with bandoleers, backpacks, and goggles. In some regions, they wear old worn Second Tiberium War combat armour previously used by Nod light infantry ranks. The Militants use a variety of small arms, ranging from old 20th century assault rifles, such as the late 20th century GAU-3 Eliminator 5.56mm assault rifles, to new GD-2 rifles. Militants are poorly trained and equipped when compared with their GDI counterparts, but their fanatical zeal, willingness to fight for the Brotherhood and sheer numbers make up for their weaknesses.
Call for transport | If an Air Tower is deployed, Militants can call in a Carryall for pickup for a small fee of $200. This ability has a 2 minute cooldown (Ctrl+A). |
" | Fighters, arm up! - Militants, after being trained from the Hand of Nod | " |
Confessor upgrade | Adds a Confessor to the squad, increasing firepower and adding the automatically used Hallucinogenic grenade ability (Ctrl+A). | This upgrade costs $1000 and takes 0:30 to research. | |
Tiberium infusion | Enhances the squad with Tiberium infusion, increasing health and granting immunity to Tiberium (Ctrl+S). | This upgrade costs $1000 and takes 0:30 to research. |
Unfortunately, militants have universally bad armour and are the weakest units in the conflict. Pretty much anything capable of taking on infantry should be able to dispatch them without too much trouble. They are also usually very poorly trained compared to their GDI counterpart, the riflemen squad. This can be a benefit, however, as they are the cheapest unit to completely arm and train in the conflict, not to mention the squad size of the unit is the largest of all infantry units in the war. This distinct advantage can often be seen utilized by Nod commanders, to simply overwhelm their opposition in bodies, using their dedicated foot soldiers as nothing but meat shields while more advanced (and expensive) war machines march forward. They can be trained in a short time, making them favoured in Rushing Strategies. However, they start becoming more effective with the Tiberium infusion and Confessor upgrade, making them a threat to most infantry later in a conflict.
Effective counters to these infantry formations have been developed by GDI in the course of their engagements in Yellow Zones in the form of advanced grenadier units garrisoned in Guardian APCs and heavy anti-infantry units.
The Black Hand and the Marked of Kane prefer to rely on well trained squads of elite soldiers, respectively Confessor Cabals and Awakened cyborgs.
- Cheapest basic infantry in game
- Promoting very fast (killing a few squad especially anti-vehicle infantry can be veteran or elite)
- The best cannon fodder compare with any infantry
- Powerful in numbers
- Confessor upgrade allows militants to inflict greater damage to any infantry with halluciation bomb from confessor
- Tiberium Infusion upgrade allows militants to fight along tiberium field and invulnerable to tiberium harm
- A squad consists 9 militants, can overwhelm some enemy single strike weapon like MBTs or even commandos
- Very fragile; low health and combine with numbers of infantry per squad, still let some units work shortly
- Even rocket unit can deal certain damage to them
- Vulnerable to any aircraft especially Devastator or Bombers
- Halluciation bomb has low rate of fire and useless against vehicle and base defenses
- Although Tiberium Infusion has upgraded, they still fragile compare to upgraded Rifleman Squad
- Fighters, arm up!
- Militia!
- We fight for Nod!
- The oppressors must die!
- Down with GDI!
- Rise up!
- Hold your weapons high!
- Soldiers!
- Over there!
- Move it!
- This way!
- Hurry!
- Go!
- No stopping!
- Let's go, let's go!
- Over there, soldiers!
- Move it, let's go!
- Keep going!
Garrisoning StructureEdit
- Take it!
- Get in there!
- Inside!
- Everybody, get inside!
- Kill 'em!
- In the name of Kane!
- Attack!
- Die!
- Wipe 'em out!
- No survivors!
Move to AttackEdit
- It's them, let's go!
- There they are, get 'em!
- Get 'em!
- Hunt 'em!
In combatEdit
- Yeah!
- Haha!
- Don't let up!
- Bring 'em to their knees!
- Make 'em suffer!
- Kill or be killed!
- Save yourselves!
- Move back!
- Everybody, move back!
When suppressedEdit
- Whoa!
- Get down!
- Watch out!
- Take cover!
- While looking them closely when they are attacking, they seem to only use one hand to fire their rifles, unless they are in a crouching position near a structure, in which case they will hold their rifles with both hands.
- Sometimes while idling, they look straight down the barrel of their rifle, a reflection of their poor training.
- Attack bikes and Raider buggies are piloted by Militants. Their appearance changes depending on whether they are in Tiberium Wars or Kane's Wrath, but the cameos are left unchanged.
- Large excessive amounts of militants can induce slow gameplay, on console versions. This is quite common with Balanced Skirmish AI.
- Some of their idle animations show them disrespecting their own firearms by swinging it like a baseball bat, they also can not perform a proper salute without dropping their rifle on the ground.
- The quote "Down with GDI" has become very popular among Nod-minded fans of the Tiberium Series.

Take heart, Gears of War fans and Gary Jules, you're finally going to be able to do something about "worn-out places" when a pack of four new multiplayer maps for the game drops this Thursday on Xbox Live. The "worn-out faces"? Still entirely your problem.
For 800 points ($10) you'll get the "Hidden Fronts" pack, which includes "Bullet Marsh" (a Kryll-infested swamp), "Garden" (an overgrown conservatory), "Process" (an Imulsion processing plant) and "Subway" (piece it together). They're not free like Epic wanted right now, but that'll be rectified if you download after Sept. 3, when they'll become a free download, Halo 2 style. So, will you be waiting, or will you be wearing out the places with the rest of us?

Disneyland's Matterhorn, DCA Buena Vista and Cars, SeaWorld Manta and Bubblefest
, 04-05-2012 at 08:05 PM
It's no surprise that Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are busy places during Spring Break, but today's update also finds Knott's Berry Farm, SeaWorld and the Discovery Science Center all packed with crowds as well. We'll start off with coverage of the many projects at the Disneyland resort. Then we'll show you what's new at Knott's Berry Farm and let you know what the opening dates are for SeaWorld's fancy new family coaster, Manta. Finally, we'll pop into Bubblefest at the Discovery Science Center. You'll want to read all the way through, because we are giving away tickets for this popular bubble show in today's update. Here we go folks!
GUMBALL RALLY CLOSE TO SOLD OUT - GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY! The MiceChat Gumball Rally is a race to find out who can ride the most attractions at Disneyland in a single day. It's a fantastic event for Disney fans of any age and a great way to spend a day in the park with friends and family. Whether you win or lose, you are always a winner when the race takes place on your favorite rides at your favorite place on earth.
But that's just a little piece of the puzzle. We'll also offer a pre-Rally pasta party on May 18th and a MiceChat Mega Meet on Sunday the 20th (save the date). T-Shirts are available for this year's event as well. If you've never heard of the Gumball Rally before, please visit the Rally Information Page HERE for more information and FAQ.

How Do I sign up?: MiceChat Events Store Gumball Rally Sign Up
How Does the Rally Work?: Rally Information Page
Tickets for this year's event are nearly sold out, so don't delay, get your teams together and sign up today!
As we mentioned at the beginning, the Disneyland Resort is packed to the gills with spring break crowds. So much so that they have even begun to set up auxiliary ticket windows alongside the existing ticket booths to help move the people through faster.CARNATION CAFE:
It's a great move on Disney's part, but a sign that the parks will be VERY busy.
We peek in on the work at the reworked Carnation Cafe and find that the awning and exteriors that have become more visible.
Well it looks like the Matterhorn's new bobsleds will have yet another side effect on the experience we used to know and love. The new single seater, six person bobsleds will no longer allow for lap sitting and sharing seats. As Al Lutz mentioned in update this means that children, who used to be able to ride with their parent, will now be required to occupy their own seat and safety restraints. Because of this, the height restriction for this attraction will go up to 42", which is even higher than Space Mountain's 40" requirement.
Matterhorn was an E-Ticket right of passage for many kids as it had one of the lowest height limits.
Despite this sour bit of news, the ride does promises to return beautifully refreshed and upgraded throughout. If the exterior paint job is any indication, we are in for a fun ride.
There was a lot of change on Buena Vista Street this week. Tile roofing has begun appearing on the buildings and paint work is continuing on the facades. Meanwhile, the Red Car Trolley line has added high tension wires along its route. Though purely cosmetic, these wires are made to resemble the wires that powered the namesake red car trolleys back in the day on the streets of LA. Let's have a look at Buena Vista Street.
To the left of the gate, new trees have appeared in the planters that flank the entrance. Once Buena Vista Street opens, the back entrance that guests are using now will be closed off and a similar planter will be constructed on the right side of the park entrance.
Just inside the construction walls, looking towards the entrance, we see a great deal of work still needing to be done.
The Red Car Trolley stop at the front gate.
Looking into the park, we notice the wire webbing above the street for the Red Car Trolley.
Early reviews of this look are mixed. Some like the realism and others hate the clutter (What are your thoughts?)
The facade for the Elias & Company store.
Trolley power lines in the foreground
Tiles on the roof.
The wire machine.
The Carthay Circle theater is also becoming something to really take in too.
The marquee has been painted black to resemble wrought iron
And the tiny fixtures under the awning are also intricately detailed.
Not to mention the lovely new light fixtures which have been affixed to the side of the building.
Over in Hollywood Land, the nightly Tron dance party has given way to the Red Car Trolley wires along the main strip.
The only major props left for the nightly party are the ones near Monsters.
Monsters Inc.:
Speaking of Monsters, the facade is still being repainted.
Radiator Springs, and the ridge of mountains that can no longer legally be called Cadillac Ridge (Disney's lawyers were unable to secure a deal with Cadillac), are just over a month away from opening to the public. The statue of Stanley in front of the Radiator Springs courthouse has recently been covered to keep is safe during the remaining days of construction. The rest is coming along nicely.
Stanley under wraps
Al Lutz also revealed that they have begun testing beach balls on Luigi's Flying Tires along with upbeat Italian music to heighten the kinetic fun of the ride. Word is that the ride was just too slow moving and the beach balls add an element of excitement to mask that issue.
They are still working on covering up the backside of the ridge in places.
No real visible changes happening on the exterior of the new Ghirardelli soda fountain. Though, it should be open along with Cars Land in June.
Merchandise from last week's Cars Land merchandise preview is already on the shelves. We're sure park officials were disappointed that crowds shunned the 3 day preview, but we think that was due to only advertising it on the Disney Parks Blog and placing it in the middle of a work week. Would have been great if they had extended it through a weekend.
Never the less, you can now pick up some fun Cars Land merchandise in the park whenever you want - no event required.
The sun shades above California Screamin' are being re-tented in time for the re-launch of Disney California Adventure in June. It's just too bad that they didn't have the time or budget for a complete Victorian style queue refurbishment. Hopefully that will come in time (along with that promised and delayed redo of the Triton Carousel).
It's been just about 2 months now and the Soarin' over California sign is still missing its key graphic. Wind blew the old one out and they haven't been able to get a replacement installed yet. The strange thing is most local sign shops could turn around an insert like that in just a matter of days.
But, honestly, it's a minor quibble in a park filled with exciting changes.
The Balloon Races in camp snoopy are currently experiencing maintenance.
Is Snoopy not returning to his Bounce House? He's been gone much longer than usual (since Haunt!)
A new awning has been constructed along the back side of the log ride where the new planters are.
Looks like a potential outdoor vending location. We'll have to wait and see what this is for.
Umbrella's have been added to Charleston Circle.
They've really made this an area where you can sit and relax.
The koi fish have finally returned to the Mystery lodge lagoon! Please folks, do NOT toss pennies into the water, it's really bad for the health of the fish.
As we do every week we like to just let folks know what strange musical choices we have heard while strolling the dusty streets of Ghost Town.
This week we heard...
- I Melt with you - Modern English
- Feel Good Time - P!nk, William Orbit
- Sunshine - Coko
- What you Need - INXS
- Till I Hear it From You - Gin Blossoms
Welcome back to SeaWorld San Diego. Weve got a couple exciting things to cover this week.
In May, SeaWorld will bring its second event of the year Viva la Musica back to the park. The event features concerts from Latin artists along with great food and various experiences around the park. The event runs through three weekends in May.
Rocky Point Preserve has reopened this week after an extended refurbishment.
The biggest change is that now trainers are in the pool with the dolphins. They bring the dolphins to you so that you can interact with them.
It's an awesome change!
You can also feed the dolphins.
Heres a look at the whole area.
The lagoon has been refilled; however, there is still a fence surrounding the SkyTower.
SkyTower Lagoon
The Skyride has reopened after a lengthy refurbishment. And pulling in quite a crowd.
The refurbishment at Mama Stella's is also now complete.
Wait times for rides are now 60 minutes and the lines for most attractions are horrendous. Thank you Easter Bunny.
All the shows at the parks have at least four performances a day. Some have more. If you plan on visiting the park, we recommend arriving as early as possible so you can get the best seats.
For all the pass holders reading, SeaWorld will be having Member Previews on Thursday, May 24th and Friday, May 25th. Members will be able to ride Manta before it opens on Saturday, May 26th. Well have coverage of both the preview and the opening ceremony, so stay tuned!
The scaffolding around the rock structure is coming down.
A new structure is being built next to the show building.
A look at the unloading section.
Another look at the unloading section.
Because the park is so busy, SeaWorld has opened the walkway between the Manta construction and the Mission Bay Theater. Usually, this is closed and guests have to walk around the Mission Bay Theater to get to the other side.
The Manta track looms over the park guests.
A look at the fencing and show buildings.
Other Happenings
For the next two weeks, guests can stay late and enjoy Spring Into Night. This event brings guests two seasonal nighttime shows Shamu Rocks! and SeaLions Tonight as well as extended hours well into the night.
Next time, well be taking a look at: Animal Encounters. This attraction replaced the Budweiser Horses when Anheiser-Busch sold SeaWorld to Blackstone Group.
What's that she's holding? Come back next week to find out.
Bubblefest has returned to the Discovery Science Center and runs through April 22nd.
This years Bubblefest promises to be the biggest and most impressive yet, as they have turned it into an outdoor festival! There is an inflatable play zone, water spheres, and interactive science zones. You can even take a picture of yourself inside a bubble if you like for a few bucks more.
The pop up store offers fun scientific toys (like Dinosaur poop)
Leading the excitement this year is Deni Yang and the Mega Bubblefest Laser Show featuring a high-tech combination of art and science using bubbles, lights, special effects and lasers. This is a $7 up-charge. MiceChat was invited to preview the show last week before it opened to guests. What we saw was a lot of fun for the kids. Here is a preview of what you can expect to find.
We'll ask a trivia question. All who answer it correctly will be entered into a random drawing to win one of four family packs of tickets (there are 4 tickets in each of the 4 family packs we are giving away) to see Bubblefest on Saturday April 21st at 12:00 pm. Winners will be announced in next week's article.
Deni Yang created all manner of shapes and
bubbles during the show.
There is a special area for kids to interact with the show on the floor of the theatre.
The LED Lighting affects and bubble creations are eye-popping.
The show is filled with bubbles, lasers and colorful lights.
It's like magic
Bubblefest, the Science Centers most popular annual event, is designed to help visitors appreciate and understand the scientific principles and mathematics of bubbles, and to let them explore the world of bubbles in a fun, hands-on environment. At the science learning stations, guests can create a bubble mini-wall, bubble domes and much more, while learning about math and science principles like surface tension, elasticity, air pressure, and geometry.
If you win, you must be able to arrive at Discovery Science Center no later than 11:30 am on Saturday April 22nd to claim your tickets.

Back on the Log Jammer site as it looks today, nothing much has really changed over the past month other than some more ground clearing.
The Pump House is still there
It does look like some ground leveling was done near the old station
You can now see the old Metro tunnel that goes under the Laughing Dragon Pizza Co.
The Log Jammer sign has been removed
A look from the other side

text: January 14, 2004 NFL Is What It Is Thanks Largely To The Colts BY: Bob George/BosSports.net Super Bowl XXXVI may have been the most exciting championship game ever. But one team has played in the two most important games in NFL history, and that team wasn't the Patriots. When you think Super Bowls, you don't immediately think Colts. You are most likely to equate the Colts with mediocrity, moronic ownership and moving vans. The Colts still feel as wrong in Indianapolis as the "real" Browns do in Baltimore. Visit your favorite shrink, play "word association", and you'll likely emit "Cowboys", "Steelers", "49ers" or "Redskins" when the term "Super Bowl" is mentioned. In their 50-year history, the Colts are 3-2 in league championship games, regardless of what title those games went by. The reason that non-Colt fans don't equate Colts with championships is that the most recent Colt championship game is Super Bowl V. Since that 1971 classic, the Colts have been largely invisible, except for good stretches in the mid-1970s and the present day. Peyton Manning is emerging as arguably the finest quarterback in the game today. But he has a long, long way to go to merely become the best quarterback in Colt history. Opinions vary greatly on who the greatest quarterback in league history is, and you can rest assured that Johnny Unitas will get a ton of votes, and not just from the good people of Maryland. Unitas was the first quarterback to throw for more than 40,000 yards passing, but his biggest contribution to league history has nothing to do with being the biggest numbers guy until Dan Marino came along. Tom Brady aspires to be the best field general in league history. He is frequently compared to Joe Montana, but he could very well be compared to Unitas. Unitas authored the very best days in Colt history, and he was at the center of the two watershed games in NFL history. If you ever doubt the history of this franchise being rich with timeless moments, go home and read up. The NFL Championship Game of 1958 still ranks with many as the greatest game ever played in the history of the NFL. It wasn't the most exciting game ever, just the most important. It was the first playoff game to go into overtime. But it was also the game which established NFL football as a national television staple, and from this point on the NFL was a major force in televised sports. The real "stars" of this game were the New York Giants. With this game being in the media capital of the nation, any television fallout was automatically magnified. Yankee Stadium gave the Colts the biggest exposure possible for them to author what still must be recognized as the zenith of the franchise's existence. But in the end, the league exposure far outdistanced the Colt exposure, and the NFL has enjoyed the long-term benefits of this game much more so than the Colts have. The Colts parlayed two Giant fumbles into a 14-3 halftime lead. A freak fumble recovery by Giant lineman (and future head coach) Alex Webster led to one touchdown, and the New Yorkers took the lead in the final period when Frank Gifford took a 15-yard pass from Charlie Connerly and ran it in for a score. On their final possession of regulation, Unitas led Baltimore on an 83-yard drive by playing pitch and catch with future Patriot head coach Raymond Berry. Steve Myhra tied the game with a 20-yard field goal, and history was made with the contest going into overtime. The Giants won the toss, but went three-and-out thanks to a questionable spot of the ball on third down despite film footage showing the first down had been made by Gifford. Unitas then took the Colts on a 13-play, 80-yard drive, with Berry again his prime receiving target. Alan Ameche blasted in from one yard out, and became the star of perhaps the most replayed film clip in NFL history. The Colts were 23-17 winners, champs for the first time in team history, and in doing so completely upstaged the Madison Avenue Giants in their crib to put the NFL on the television map permanently. The Colts won it all again in 1959, and Pete Rozelle became commissioner in 1960. The Colts would go on to lose the 1964 NFL Championship Game to the original Cleveland Browns, then four years later took center stage once again in still another landmark NFL game. The importance was just as big as 1958, but the lasting feelings from this game for the Colts are quite the opposite. The 1968 Colts were a dominating 13-1. They brutalized the rest of the league, and won the NFL title by avenging their only loss of the season. They hammered Cleveland, 34-0, winning their third NFL title and gaining entry into a three-year-old concept which was the brainchild of Rozelle. The AFL and NFL merged in 1967, and now played in a championship game featuring the champions of both leagues. Rozelle coined a new name for this year's tilt, a clash between the Colts and the AFL Champion New York Jets: the Super Bowl. It figures. Baltimore versus New York for the championship. Just like '58. You just knew that something awesome was about to happen. You have a 17-point dog in the Jets, and a loudmouth playboy quarterback who guarantees that his upstart bunch of overmatched neophytes will win this game. All the key component parts were in place. The only thing wrong with this game was that it was in Miami and not New York. The venue did not matter, though the Orange Bowl has its own place in football lore. The Colts would have come out flat even if the game were played at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Not at all ready or prepared to face what Joe Namath had in store for them, the Jets took it to the favoured Colts all afternoon long. A Matt Snell touchdown and three Jim Turner field goals helped the Jets build a 16-0 lead. One reason the Colts were playing so poorly was the fact that league MVP Earl Morrall, whose best days lay ahead in the Dolphins' 14-0 season four years hence, started this game in place of the injured Unitas and looked like anything but an MVP. Morrall committed one of the biggest Super Bowl boners in history when he threw a deep pick to Jim Hudson despite Jimmy Orr being wide open by a mile in the end zone off to the left. Morrall simply never saw Orr at all. Baltimore head coach Don Shula had to put Unitas into the game in the second half, and he led the Colts on a late touchdown drive. But that would be it. The Jets won, 16-7, and the NFL was turned upside down. This game had two major positive fallouts which the league benefits from to this day. This game brought the AFL even with the NFL, and made the merging of schedules in 1970 completely seamless. The end result was a bigger and better league which would go on to become the preeminent professional sports league in the USA. The game also established the Super Bowl as the biggest sporting event in the nation. All the parties, hype, halftime shows, marketing, crazy commercials, all of it has its roots in Super Bowl III. It has become so much more than merely the biggest upset in league history. Of course, the Colts would just as soon forget this game. Losing to the Jets was something that still haunts Shula to this day. Shula would go on to win two Super Bowls with Miami and eventually became the winningest head coach in league history, but this loss by the Colts was downright embarrassing and unforgivable. Namath played a terrific game and backed up his bold words, but if Baltimore had approached New York like it did against Cleveland in the NFL title game, it is hard to believe that the Jets would have been able to avoid a worse blowout than what the Browns got. To help smooth the pain of this game over, the Colts did make it back to the Big Dance two years later and won the only Super Bowl of their existence. In typical Colt fashion, the game was a classic, but classic only in its finish. The teams combined for an astounding 11 turnovers, with Baltimore committing seven of them. But in the same venue where the Jets humbled them two years prior, an unknown rookie kicker named Jim O'Brien nailed a 32-yard field goal with five seconds left to give the Colts a 16-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It remained the most important field goal in Super Bowl history for 31 years, until a young buck from South Dakota named Adam Vinatieri actually won a Super Bowl with a trey. This is the legacy which Manning will try to add on to on Sunday in Foxborough. The Patriots are well equipped to stop him. But if they don't, and if Manning is the one who makes it to Houston instead of Brady, Colt fans nationwide will slowly begin to reawaken to these rich memories of two games which helped build and shape the NFL as we know today. But one thing Manning won't be able to do is to tweak the real fans of the Colts, and that is the people of Baltimore. Unitas was a trailblazer in his city; Manning, on the other hand, must try to become the greatest thing in his city since Rick Mears, Al Unser and A.J. Foyt. Hang that Bob Irsay. Indianapolis had nothing to do with the rich legacy that is the Colts. Site-specific editorial/photos Copyright 2001-2004 PatsFans.com.

Verizon Leads Among Major Carriers In Latest Consumer Reports Cell-Phone Service Ratings
AT&T is Among the Lower-rated, but 4G Service is a Bright Spot
YONKERS, N.Y., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless was the highest-Rated major carrier in Consumer Reports' annual cell-phone service Ratings, based on a survey of 63,253 subscribers by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.
The full report can be found online at ConsumerReports.org and in the January 2013 issue of Consumer Reports, which is on newsstands now.
Of the four major U.S. national cell-phone standard service providers, Verizon Wireless led the pack, receiving favorable scores for voice and data service quality, and also for support attributes like staff knowledge and resolution of issues. Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T each received mostly middling to low marks, particularly for voice and text service quality.
AT&T was among the lower-scoring providers, but its 4G LTE network was Rated the most favorably of any carrier. Its users reported the fewest problems with that higher-speed service, which most new smart phones now use. Consumer Cellular, a national carrier that uses AT&T's network, received high marks across the board in Consumer Reports' Ratings of standard (monthly bill) carriers. The no-frills carrier caters to users with the simplest wireless needs and offers the simplicity of monthly billing without a contractual commitment. The report found that no-contract plans can be major cost-savers. Two-thirds of Consumer Reports survey respondents who switched to so-called "prepaid plans," which typically lack a contract commitment and bill each month in advance, saved more than $20 a month by switching to prepaid. Those savings can allow wireless customers to quickly recoup the cost of the phone itself, which can be higher if they don't make a contractual commitment. TracFone was among the top-Rated prepaid providers, receiving high marks for value, voice and text. Like Consumer Cellular, it specializes in those who seek simple, low-cost phone service.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Weir admits Gers deserved Euro exit
Goals from Sebastian Rudy and Zdravko Kuzmanovic earned the Germans victory at Ibrox - inflicting Rangers' third straight home European loss - and ended any hope the Scottish champions had of European football after Christmas. "I'm disappointed - we weren't good enough again tonight," 39-year-old Weir told Sky Sports 3 after Tuesday's Group G clash. "We didn't play well enough, didn't put enough into the game and got what we deserved. "It's a hard level to play at and we realise we've got to be better." Weir lined up in central defence alongside 17-year-old Danny Wilson and hopes his team-mates will bounce back quickly. "We've got to take positives from it," said Weir. "Lads are getting good experience, we've got to get better and learn from the experience. "It's a tough lesson but we've got a big game on Saturday morning against Aberdeen." Manager Smith echoed Weir's sentiments. After Rangers also missed out on parachuting into the Europa League, Smith told Sky Sports 3: "We don't deserve it. If we've played three games at home and we don't take a point, we don't deserve to progress. "Our three home games we've lost now in the Champions League. "When we're at home and the onus is on us to go forward, we haven't handled it as well as we have in the away games."

There has always been a silver lining.
It's tarnished
But if you melt it down
Shape it into a bullet,
It will still kill a werewolf.
Not all dogs chase cars.
Weeds don't know they are killing the Petunias
Even monsters die
The only difference is that they don't get flowers and nobody wants what they leave behind.
Things could be a lot worse.
Eight black balloons
The last Raven feather
A gray hair floating in your tomato bisque.
Knowing that blood tastes like dimes.
I still believe that there is good left in our world.
Orange things make me laugh.
I knew a girl who thought that ghosts only
haunted mansions in

text: I am finishing up a cut. My body fat is 11%. I am a recreational triathlete and do on average 1.5 hours of cardio (running, biking or swimming) per day. I have been lifting weights for 4 months (and until 6 years ago I lifted weights regularly for years but stopped to do triathlons). I need to look as good as possible in 10 weeks. I figure I can either (x) spend the next 10 weeks reducing my body fat to single digit percent or (y) bulk for 8 weeks then cut for 2 weeks. If I bulk I can cut my cardio back to 45 minutes running 3 days per week and 60 minutes biking 3 days per week. That will allow me to maintain a cardio base. I have a small frame (I am 5'10", 145 lbs) so adding muscle would be preferable. So my question is can I realistically expect to add muscle mass in 8 weeks? And if I did would I lose it all in a 2 week cut starting immediately after the 8 week bulk period is over? If I can't add significant muscle or if I would lose the gains in the 2 week cut, then I might as well use the next 10 weeks to cut my body fat more.

How cute are Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz? The two were spotted getting cozy at an Ed Sheeran concert on August 27!
Neither Brooklyn Beckham, 15, nor Chloe Grace Moretz,17, have confirmed their dating relationship, but they sure are seen out together a whole lot! On Aug. 27, the two attended an Ed Sheeran concert in LA — what a cute date!
Chloe Moretz & Brooklyn Beckham At Ed Sheeran Concert: Couple Attends Together
Though they entered separately, they weren't sneaky enough — they were spotted together inside looking pretty cozy, as seen above!
They were also dressed to impress — Brooklyn looked the spitting image of his father, David Beckham! We can't think of a better person to get tips from, quite honestly.
His look is actually similar to what he wore while supporting Chloe at the premiere of If I Stay in LA on Aug. 20, though this time he opted for dark, skinny jeans and black boots.
Chloe looked date-ready in a sheer white lace top with her black bra peeking through, dark blue jeans and black boots. With very natural makeup — if any makeup at all — she looked casually stunning.
Brooklyn Beckham & Chloe Grace Moretz: He Is 'Totally Smitten' By Her
Brooklyn is "totally smitten" with Chloe, a source previously revealed to People mag. "Brooklyn is very sweet and shy, a really nice boy. Chloe is more sophisticated." How cute is that?
On relationships, Chloe told Flare magazine that 17 is "a tough age to fall in love: people change so quickly. I don't want to have to feel like I have to watch my step, 'cause I'm 17 and I shouldn't have to." Um, 17 or 34? She's the most mature teenager we've ever heard of! Obsessed with her.
We are totally loving this this couple — what about you, HollywoodLifers?
