"Excellent Product now faster then the previous version"
Detects most Malware of significant, it is quicker then before and faster then most of it's competitors.
It used to detect more and I once considered it to be the best, now I considerate it the 2nd best, but it is essential to use with the best for complete removal.
You need to use this software, it is critical for cleaning up your computer. The licensed version does block bad sites and may prevent some Trojans but some can still sneak in and you need to manually scan to remove them. They may have corrected some false positives, but I felt better when it found more. When your system is badly infected run from Safe Mode (F8 at boot) for better cleaning. I have not found any software that can block all of the Malware but this one cleans very well.

Anaheim, CA - After the close the of the 2012 season for the Angels, general manager Jerry Dipoto struck quickly to keep starting catcher Chris Iannetta in the fold. Iannetta agreed to a 3 year contract worth approximately $15.5 million.
Iannetta (29), was acquired this past off-season for RHP Tyler Chatwood. He produced a slash line of .244/.332/.398/.730 with 9 homeruns and 26 RBI.
The future for prospect Hank Conger is now cloudy. Will the Angels keep him as a reserve, cutting ties with Bobby Wilson and John Hester. Or will Dipoto fill pitching holes by trading the switch hitting Conger?
Iannetta contract runs through 2015.

Chelsea defender Kalas loaned to Cologne
Chelsea's Czech defender Tomas Kalas will spend next season on loan at newly promoted Bundesliga side FC Cologne, his agent Viktor Kolar said Wednesday.
The 21-year-old will spend his third season on loan from Chelsea after playing for Dutch top-flight side Vitesse Arnhem in 2011-2013.
"In the past two years, Tomas's performance has improved so much that to develop his skill and gain experience, he could only join a Premiership or Bundesliga side," said Kolar.
Kalas, who played one game for the Czech national team in 2012 and appeared in only a handful of games for Chelsea in the 2013/2014 season, said he was looking forward to the new experience.
"I'd like to play regularly to return to Chelsea even stronger. The Bundesliga in a famous team like this will be a great test for me," he said.

By James Slater: Australian warrior Michael Katsidis had some tough thinking to do after unexpectedly (by most) losing his last fight to Scotlands Ricky Burns. First of all, the 31-year-old made it clear his lightweight days were over, and in a news article in The Chronicle it has been reported that The Great has also opted to part ways with long-time trainer and manager Brendon Smith. Katsidis, 28-5(23) has been with Smith for twenty long years, his friend and colleague helping him to the position he now holds as one of the most exciting world class operators in all of boxing. Yet after the loss to Burns, Katsidis decided to move to America in a bid to rejuvenate a career that has seen three losses from its last four fights. The decision did not come lightly, however: It was one of the hardest decisions of my life, Katsidis told The Chronicle. For the best part of 20 years weve worked together and weve gone as far as we can go now. Smith seems to have nothing but best wishes for his former charge: All good things do come to an end, the trainer/manager said. Its been a wonderful, tough and enjoyable journey. So, what now for Katsidis? According to the news piece, the former interim WBO lightweight ruler will base himself in the U.S, is in talks with Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, and wants to become a world champion again - the aim almost certainly to be to try up at 140-pounds. It will be most interesting to see who Katsidis takes on as his new trainer, as will it be interesting to see which state in the U.S the blood and guts Aussie decides to call his new home. Katsidis certainly needed a change so as to give it one more go. Heavy losses came at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez and Robert Guerrero, before the upset loss at the hands of Burns. Before the points defeat to the Scot, Katsidis had won a bout at 140 - maybe he can achieve something as a light-welterweight? As thrilling to watch as he is, and as great value for money he is each and every time out, it would have been a shame for the fans if Katsidis had opted to walk away after his fifth defeat. The Australians long-term health is always a concern considering how much punishment hes taken in his rollercoaster of a career, but for as long as hes in the ring those fans who are not of a squeamish nature will enjoy watching the Toowoomba star do his thing. Roll on his Golden Boy debut?

Capello wants England focus
07 Oct 2008 - 08:02:04
Head coach Fabio Capello is confident but has warned his England players not to be complacent ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan.
England shrugged off their recent malaise with a 4-1 qualifying victory over main group rivals Croatia last month in Zagreb.
But ahead of Saturday's first ever meeting with Kazakhstan, Capello has sounded a note of caution.
"We must not get carried away with the performance against Croatia. It was one win," he said in his programme notes.
"Zagreb has been a very difficult place to get a result for every country and it was a positive step forward but there is still a long way to go in the group.
"I am determined that we will always concentrate on the next match, not the one we have just played - that is gone now.
"Kazakhstan are our third opponents in the group and it is important we continue the positive start we have made so far.
"This is the first time they have played England and I know how determined they will be to make things difficult for us.
"However, I will be telling the players that so long as we approach the game in the right way, play with a good tempo and maintain our discipline, we can get the result and performance we want."
Meanwhile, Capello claims England are ready to put on a performance at Wembley after the Italian coach suggested in the build-up to the last round of fixtures that his players found it uncomfortable on home soil.
"Ahead of the previous games, I said that playing away from Wembley was helpful," he continued.
"I said this because there is often less pressure playing away from home. With 90,000 supporters at home, there is great expectancy.
"Now that we have some of that crucial confidence back, I am sure that starting today (Saturday), it will be easier for the players to perform to the best of their ability and that the Wembley crowd will generate a big atmosphere for the team."

SingTel Q3 net profit rises 5.5% on strong contributions from associates
Published on Feb 13, 2014 12:11 PM
SingTel posted a 5.5 per cent rise in third-quarter net profit over a year ago, due to strong contributions from its regional associates.
Earnings would have climbed more if the Singapore dollar had not risen sharply against the home currencies of its associates, SingTel said on Thursday.
The telco's net profit for the three months ended Dec 31 last year was $872 million on revenue of $4.26 billion.
Revenue declined 7 per cent from the quarter a year ago, dragged down by its declining Australian telco business and a "generally cautious business climate".

Re: Will the real Jonathan Joseph please stand up
I just don't think J. Jo. cares much about a backup QB and covering a backup WR in a preseason game. We were seeing the same lack of effort from Tate until today. Seems the preseason media either got to him or at least one of the coaches must've said something, or possibly he just values game 3 more; but, for whatever reason, Tate decided to show up today. It makes a big difference. But, technically at least, Tate is a backup....and J. Jo. still doesn't care about preseason.
I don't see any reason why J. Jo. would perform even worse (much worse, actually) right now than he did in the playoffs last year....unless he just isn't into it.
Some of these guys whose position is in no doubt are mostly just concerned about not getting hurt (right now).

Download this layer (ESRI Shapefile, with ArcGIS 8.3 LYR) | View this datalayer in an online map |
The Fire Stations layer shows the point locations of 789 Fire stations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) GIS Program in cooperation with the Regional Planning Agencies and participating communities created the data as part of the development of Homeland Security Data Layers.
Stored in the ArcSDE, the layer is named FIRESTATIONS_PT_MEMA.
The MEMA GIS Program received a fire department list from the Department of Fire Services, Executive Office of Public Safety and created a dataset by geocoding the tabular data in ArcMap 8.3. Building locations were refined using ortho imagery. The Boston area was updated based on NOAA data. Data were combined with data from various regional planning agencies. The combined layer was distributed to regional planning agencies for a location accuracy check and updates for Pre-Disaster Mitigation grants or Homeland Security Council funded project. Locations were checked for building accuracy, completeness and attribute accuracy. A final review and check were conducted by MEMA and MassGIS.
The layer's point attribute table contains the following items:
NAME Fire department name OFFICE Office or branch name ADDRESS Station address CITY Station municipality STATE Station state (all "MA") ZIP Station ZIP Code L_SRC Location source SOURCE Attribute source L_DATE Location date
MEMA will provide any updates to MassGIS.
A new shapefile was posted on October 15, 2012, with Brockton station #3 moved to its correct location with a modified address.

We've had our best luck calibrating the indicator by taking the yacht out on a relatively light air day and motoring directly into what wind there is at our top speed. We do this on the river where we're moored, rather than in the near-by bay, to minimize the effect of wave action on apparent wind and with that, can get pretty accurate. An alternative is to go to the masthead, manually hold the pointer in place first forward and then aft, and have a helper set the calibration on the instrument itself. One can then also check the linearization of the unit itself as a 180º change at the masthead should be reflected, exactly, on the instrument. If it is off somewhat, one can go through the linearization process a second time; or, one can do alternating calibration corrections, from forward to aft and back, by removing 1/2 of the error each rotation, in each direction.
N'any case, good luck. You've got the device working again and hopefully that will last for awhile.

text: Hello everyone. My wife and I just applied for our ccw's. The biggest question/concern we have is about her work. She is school teacher in NE Ohio. I obviously know that she can't carry in school (although it would great if that would change) but what about on the way to work and after work? Firearms are prohibited on school property including the parking lot so how is she suppose to be able to carry in the morning on her way to work? What about after work if she has errands to run? She rarely comes straight home after work. I am just curious if there are any other teachers on here that have ccw's and how they handle the inconvenience of not being able to keep your firearm locked up in your car while at work. Any input or advise would for her would be greatly appreciated.

My Monster Power 32 is going to go into a Cub this week. I made a test stand last night that will fit I believe all of my X mounts I use.
I just bench tested my Monster Power 32 on a 3S and 4S battery. 13x8 APCe prop is what I had tried at first. 6400RPM and 320W max on 3S 7700RPM and 620W max on 4S 12x10 Wood prop was next 8400RPM and 520W max on 4S These wattage/RPM values are on a fresh pack at about 90%charged (resting voltage around 4.0V) This is pretty well in line (as one could expect) with the motor calc program I use: http://adamone.rchomepage.com/calc_motor.htm I chose an Eflite 32, then set the motor to custom and changed the Kv to what I measured as 705Kv. I have a laser tach and tach the motor w/o a prop to get the true Kv. I then set the battery to the Internal resistance I measured on my iCharger 106B+. Next Set the resting cell voltage to 4V (About what you get after the first 30-60 seconds of run up). Don't forget that your resting battery voltage will drop to around 3.75 at the end so I like some power in reserve |

They must have replaced the monster power with a new brand name or something. I now see 2 different kinds in the new parts section.
Tacon big Foot http://www.hobbypartz.com/bigfooutrubr.html Rocket outrunner. http://www.hobbypartz.com/rooutrubrmo.html The selection seems better then the older Monster Power motors. Green ones look just like the Monster power specs I think. |

I was flying my old Robinhood 80 (13pounds) on a Monster Power 160 on 6s. Yes 6s with a APC-E 20x15 prop in order to use a cheap non HV esc. Batteries are two Turnigy 6s 3000mah 20c ($29 each) in parallel for 6000mah.
Great scale like and sport like flying for dirt cheap! Believe it or not, the 160 is a great motor with that combination of cells and prop. If you have a 10 pound or less airplane with the prop clearance it would be even more fun. I have since put a 26cc gasser on the airplane. I am going to try the monster power 60 on my 1/4 scale RV-4 from Great Planes it is almost equivalent to the Rimfire 1.20 that is suggested for that airplane. It is also less than half the price of the rimfire. Here is a video that gave me the idea of using the motor in that configuration. I corresponded with the guy to make sure I wasn't reading incorrectly.......... MP 160, 6s, 20x15 prop. This is listed in the comments on the YT page. This model weighs 14lbs, has 83" wingspan. Flying with an Exceed R/C Monster Power 160, on 6s5000mah. Turning a 20x15 APC electric prop, at about 4400rpm. Putting out just under 1000watts(about 978watts) Can get about 7-8 min flight time.

I just found this thread. I have a MP 60 in a Low wing trainer, 6s 16X prop and it is my glider tug. It lefts gliders up like they are nothing.
I have a MP 46 in a Giles 202 50 sized, 5s 13.5X6.5 prop. Flies great. Here is the online calc I used. http://www.s4a.ch/eflight/motorcalc_e.htm Pretty close to what I am getting. The only part that is off is the flight times. I get about double the flight time compared to what they list. Buzz. |

Early computer guidance indicates that the system will reach hurricane strength as is passes through the Caribbean Sea. The actual strength the system reaches will be dependent on the path that it takes. A track along the islands of the mountainous Greater Antilles would hinder strong development.
As the system moves westward, there is a possibility that it could enter the Gulf Of Mexico next week. That just meant that it will be worth keeping an eye on if it does indeed develop into something.

Think all Americans are against the National Security Agency's policies regarding spying? Think again, because in a recent survey most Americans actually approve of the NSA's policy. The survey in question has the public not overwhelmingly supporting the NSA's actions, but supporting them none the less.
The survey, completed by TechCrunch using Google Surveys, shows that about 51% of the American public thinks that what the NSA is doing is acceptable. Their survey allowed users to comment and those that think the NSA's actions are okay, have stipulations. Some users thought that NSA actions were okay as long as there was just cause and the evidence they had for the court order allowing them to gain access to the information. It isn't clear if convincing the secret FISC court fulfills that later stipulation.
The survey goes on to ask the question which is more important privacy or investigating terrorism. To the surprise of many privacy advocates, most that took the survey (roughly 54%) believe that investigating potential terrorists is more important than an American's privacy. However, these particular approval numbers were at their highest back in November 2010 (about 68%) and are declining with the revelation of the NSA's actions.
Those surveyed, 57.4%, were even supportive of spying on other nations. Some of these same people don't want the NSA spying on Americans but other countries are fine. This same group also have a wide number — 53.1% — that believe the NSA has listened into phone calls and read their email.
That, then, brings us to the question: Are the NSA's actions okay? According to this poll, yes — but this is one just poll and we all know polls don't always depict the opinion of the public at large. Still, the NSA can rest easy knowing they have the support of at least some people. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

[@Seamus McSeamus] I have seven names that could be used plus Michelle being Snow White of course.
Seamus McSeamus
[@Darcy] I have some names for the vice-president. :)
Obviously NSA has hacked and manipulated the "survey" results. #trustnoone
@Seamus McSeamus
You are right but the sad thing is they govts are like parasites but with brains they never allow the hosts to die…look at China, North Korea, Vietnam….is there a poor Congressman? any on on Obamacare? -
American people approve the NSA's actions because they think they are protected by the omnipotent NSA…
But are Americans really more protected when these actions are spying and recording European presidents's phone calls???
Are Italian, German or French presidents potential terrorists? They have been spied among millions others.Even if 57,4% of people surveyed are " supportive of spying on the other nations ", and even if I'm not in your survey, I have to say here that most European people dœsn't approve NSA's actions in Europe, spying millions persons (phones and mails).
The security, for Americans or other people in the world, isn't better because of these actions…[@Mags]
You are right and I confirm this is true in all countries.
And, indeed, especially with political surveys which are often used to manipulate people. -
David Roper
Funny how the survey of TSA privacy is from Google who "Reads/Scans" the content of every email sent using Gmail. Hmmm???
I take surveys with a grain of salt!
Surveys can be manipulated to get the results they want by wording the questions to get the results wanted.
It happens quite often, especially for political surveys.
Seamus McSeamus
[@Jack Kennedy] The problem with their mentality is that in order for them to get "free stuff", the government first has to take it from people who actually produce. Eventually, you take so much from the producers that they can no longer sustain themselves, never mind the leeches on society, and the whole "wealth redistribution" house of cards comes crashing down.
If we as a nation don't force a course correction on this bloated, out of control government, I fear that such a crash isn't too far away.
Jack Kennedy
this must be the same gimmedats that elected bozo ……………..
the agree with the nsa spying cuz it helps obama keep them in money
David Roper
Sorry, I call BS on any article that tries to make spying on me okay to do, legal, and necessary.

My son will be 6 months old in a few days and I love him more than life. He is a joy during the day and naps pretty decent (2-3 naps lasting about 45 mins to 1 1/2 hrs.) Night time is another story though and I think I might go crazy very soon if he doesn't start sleeping. He goes down anywhere between 8:30 - 10:00 and usually goes down without much fuss. He will just lay in my husbands arms and fall asleep with a little rocking. He eats usually within a hour before going to be and we will…

Critical Read
What: Prepared testimony from the Government Accountability Office's David A. Powner to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, urging federal agencies to implement major IT initiatives.
Why: In fiscal year 2013, the federal government plans to spend $74 billion on IT investments, and "IT projects too frequently incur cost overruns and schedule slippages, and result in duplicate systems while contributing little to mission-related outcomes," according to GAO. In response to these issues, Powner, director of IT management issues at GAO, draws on previous GAO research to urge that "agencies provide appropriate oversight of and adequate transparency into" IT services.
Powner's testimony covers OMB's IT Dashboard, IT acquisition best practices, management of IT operations and maintenance investments, cloud computing, the IT reform plan and data center consolidation. The report concludes "OMB's and agencies' recent efforts have resulted in greater transparency and oversight of federal spending, but continued leadership and attention is necessary to build on the progress that has been made."
Verbatim: On OMB's recent major initiatives for overseeing IT investments:
"As part of the IT reform plan, in 2011 the Federal CIO Council launched an initial Best Practices platform on http://www.CIO.gov to provide agency case studies that demonstrate best practices in managing federal IT systems. According to OMB, agencies have been encouraged to develop practices that focus on early, frequent, and constructive communication during the acquisition process so that the government clearly understands the marketplace and can obtain an effective solution at a reasonable price."
To download the full report, click here.
On IT Dashboard:
"We recommend that the agencies take steps to improve the accuracy and reliability of their Dashboard information, and that OMB improve how it rates investments relative to current performance and schedule variance."
On Data Center Consolidation:
"We recommended that the five selected agencies should implement recognized best practices when establishing schedules and cost estimates for their consolidation efforts and that OMB ensure agencies utilize its standardized cost model across the consolidation initiative."
On Cloud Computing:
"...Only nine agencies reported having approved and documented policies and procedures for writing comprehensive agreements with vendors when using cloud computing."
"Among other things, we recommend that OMB establish milestones for completing a strategy for implementing the federal cloud computing initiative."

A video series on the 4,000 year old Chinese strategy game of Go. Read more
A video series on the 4,000 year old Chinese strategy game of Go.
About this project
We've reached our funding goal! I'd like to give a big thanks to all the contributors! This is enough to get Sunday Go Lessons off the ground, but there are a few things that could make the videos even better. Here are some stretch goals and the funding needed:
Lateral Tripod $200 - If we can reach the $1,000 funding level, then I can get one of these bad boys. I've been using my own tripod, but it's really old and is being held together by duct tape and a prayer. A lateral tripod would allow me to do overhead shots, so I can point the camera straight down at the board. If you saw the videos of the professional games I did, a lateral tripod would make the shot a lot clearer. Here is the page on Amazon.
Anything over this, I'll donate the equivalent amount of free lectures to the American Go Foundation so that they can freely give them to Go Teachers who'd like to use them in their classes to teach children or really anyone else who wants to learn Go.
So what is this project?
My name is Jonathan Hop and I'm an author and teacher. I've written 4 books on how to play Go, and I love teaching Go. I've been playing Go for about 9 years. I went to South Korea to study at a professional Go Dojo for a year, the Yu Changhyuk Go Dojo in Migeum, S. Korea to be exact. I sat shoulder to shoulder with kids who might one day go on to be professional players and compete for thousands of dollars in cash prizes on Korean television.
I'm creating a video series to teach people how to play Go and to popularize the game so that more Americans and Westerners finally know what it is so that they can enjoy it for themselves. The videos will be available on my website, Sunday Go Lessons, and the videos will be available for a very affordable $1, allowing you to watch the video 24/7 for a month. The video series will have something for everyone, from people who think that Go is Othello, to people who are hardcore fans looking for a program to boost their skills. I have Go clubs in mind, for those of you who have active Go clubs and are looking to expand your membership by enticing new players into the fold.
I am planning to release the new website and video series sometime between mid and late August this year. With your help, we can make it happen.
Who are the videos for?
For those of you who have never seen Go or don't know what it is, it's a strategy board game. Think of it as Chinese chess if the metaphor helps. Go is great to keep your mind sharp and develops concentration. It develops math skills in children and also builds spatial reasoning for everyone. People who play Go into their twilight years have a lower rate of Alzheimers. It's also just plain fun.
For those of you who currently play and want to get better, my teaching style is based on changing the way my students think about the next move. I love to teach people who feel stuck at their level. You want to know WHY moves are made so that you don't think about the bad moves and just beeline towards the better ones.
All of my lectures will be available in Engish, German, French, Spanish, and (maybe) Russian. I figure I'd put my language skills to the test. My goal is to get more people everywhere to play.
Well, that all sounds hunky dory. So, what is the money for?
Well, I've largely funded the project myself and taught myself a LOT about how to make videos, starting from a knowledge base of just zero. However, I need some help getting across the finish line so that I'll be ready in August. I need to get over the home stretch to complete my home studio where I'll be making videos, finishing off the website, with some money for advertising and Go outreach. I hope to eventually get the videos into schools and use the videos as a tool for Go clubs to help promote to get more members.
Here's an example of what you can expect. This is a video for beginners on the rules of the game.
Remember, if the project is not fully funded by the deadline, then no funding occurs!
I've been playing Go for about 9 years or so. I started playing when I was 19. My friend is Taiwanese and she showed me a program called "Hikaru no Go" which got me hooked. I played a LOT while in college and started teaching once I got a lot stronger.
Yes, I taught ESL in 2009 and since I was in S. Korea I said to myself "There's gotta be a Go school around here somewhere." I enrolled at the Yu Changhyuk Go Dojo in Migeum (despite my broken Korean) and went their on the weekends and sometimes during the week when my schedule would permit. I actually got to meet Cho Hyeyeon 9p while I was there!
I am an author of 4 Go books, the "So You Want to Play Go?" series. I am passionate about spreading Go in the United States and doing what I can to get more people playing. Think of it this way. South Korea is a country of about 50 million people and 15% of the country plays Go on a semi-regular to regular basis. It's an extra-curricular activity in some schools and professional Go players are accepted as equivalent to celebrities in some respects. I think our culture has room for the game and it can be uniquely American and great. A video series on Go is an integral part of spreading Go to the larger culture.
I learned Go like most Americans: from scraps of material here and there on the internet. What was nice for me is I speak Japanese and Chinese, meaning I could get Go books from Asian friends of mine and study with them. A lot of Western Go players learn in an unstructured way without a lot of help. My emphasis is on fundamentals, but it's also about helping you think through how to find good moves and forget the bad ones.
So far just me. I speak 6 foreign languages and will be doing lectures in all of them. It will be a good test of my ability to talk about Go in German!
This is going to be an ongoing project. I want to launch with at least 25 and keep making maybe 4-5 a month from there, depending on how excited I get from month to month. Each lecture is $1 and you can watch a video for a month 24/7. A lot of Go players are college students so it's affordable.

Slender is a wonderful
reminder that the classic horror genre still has its place in gaming.
Completely dependent on atmosphere and sound, Slender embraces its simplicity
much like the original Blair Witch Project. There's nothing more dreadful than
the fear of the unknown and the game relies on mystery and lore to carry its
narrative and gameplay. The horrifying, albeit brief, journey through the
original Slender beautifully orchestrated the sense of isolation and panic that
insinuated hopelessness and vulnerability by giving you a single tool as means
of survival, a flashlight. Can the sequel (or rather the re-imagining) expand
upon the predecessor's success, or does it stretch itself too thin by playing
it safe?
You're visiting your friend
Kate who recently lost her mother and is trying to sell her house. Upon
arrival, you find the house in disarray and Kate missing. Soon you discover
mysterious notes hinting at an eerie figure and you begin tracking down clues
to uncover the mystery behind your friend's disappearance. The game's visual
overhaul is immediately apparent and I applaud the developers for going the
extra mile and fleshing out the environments beyond the simplistic forest scene
of the original. The gritty tone overlaying the more colorful surroundings amplifies
the feeling of angst, particularly in the opening chapter that begins during
On the flip-side the game is
very poorly optimized. Our beefy rig that can run nearly every major title on
ultimate settings barely pushed a steady 30 fps. Turning off Vsync and running
D3D Overrider helps tremendously, but I hope the developers patch up the
inconsistencies. Considering the slow pacing, the constant fps drops break the immersion
and unless you have a powerful gaming PC, you're forced to run the game on low
settings just to make it playable.
The Slender experience is
reminiscent of a haunted house ride. You're more of an observer than an active
participant, but don't be fooled by the simple premise. Most of the levels
(chapters) are simple fetch quests, but when you fear for your life with every
step you take, the simple act of turning around evokes panic. The second
chapter is practically a direct re-imagining of the first game as you walk
around the woods collecting 8 mysterious pages. Fortunately, the environments
are more distinct and you don't find yourself running in circles as much.
Further tasks have you
collecting parts to activate various devices and so forth, but it's ultimately
the same thing over and over. This is my biggest gripe with the sequel. More of
the same is not necessarily better in the case of Slender, especially when such
a large portion of content feels like filler material. You could beat the
predecessor in less than twenty minutes, which was a suitable length for the
type of gameplay, but now it feels unnecessarily long – even though it only
takes an hour to beat. Making things worse are the unbelievably cheap deaths
that only serve as an illusion of challenge. Once you reach a certain point, a
new antagonist is introduced who oftentimes teleports right in front of you
killing you in an instant. It feels lazy and takes away from an otherwise
extraordinary experience.
Where Slender truly deserves
the utmost praise is in the audio department. To genuinely experience the
terror of being stalked in the middle of nowhere, you must play this game with
headphones on (or a solid surround system). The echoing of your own footsteps conjures
up paranoia as you frantically react to every crackle and whistle. One moment
you're listening to the grass crunching underneath your feet, the next you're
sprinting away from the onset of static as Slender inches closer. If you want
to get scared, Slender certainly delivers.
Slender: The Arrival succeeds in delivering a terrorizing and frightful journey
but stumbles in providing a polished gaming experience. As a one-time playthrough,
I'd recommend it over most of today's horror films, but if you're expecting
immersive gameplay mechanics you might be disappointed. Once all the tricks are
out on the table there's little to warrant a second look. To some, an increased
difficulty mode and the random spawning of items might justify the incentive
for replayability, but the repetitiveness and occasional unfairness prevent the
sequel from reaching the original's cult status. Nevertheless, considering that
every "survival-horror" game these days hands us a gun and unlimited ammo,
Slender strips the player of any sense of security, throws them into the woods,
and turns off the lights…and for that…it deserves your attention.

The Los Angeles Dodgers offered Dave a signing bonus to pitch for them. But when the Dodgers' scouts told his father there was "no time for college," Dave later recounted to HistoryMakers, "that was a very short conversation."
He enrolled in his home state's University of Notre Dame on a football and baseball scholarship. Once there, football dominated his schedule, and his baseball prospects faded away.
Dave would later say that, for the career longevity, he wished he had chosen baseball. Decades down the road — after the undiagnosed concussions, headaches, mood swings, memory loss, erratic behavior, and, finally, the suicide — his family would agree.
"I just wish he had played baseball," Tregg Duerson bitterly told a New York Times reporter days after his father's death. But Dave couldn't have known at the time that it was a decision spring-loaded with consequence.
Dave and Rod Bone, his roommate and fellow safety on the Notre Dame football team, used to play a game-within-a-game every time they put on their pads. They would watch each other's tackles on wide receivers. "When a guy had the hardest hit of the day, there was no vote necessary," Rod says. "We knew it."
The stakes were bragging rights until the next game or scrimmage, when they would lower their heads, straighten their spines, and blast their way once again through offensive opponents. "We would run as fast as we could, and when we hit them, we didn't stop," Rod explains. "We aimed to run over them rather than into them."
Dave worshipped the brutal hit. Every Friday night before a game the next day, he re-read They Call Me Assassin, the memoir written by longtime Los Angeles Raiders defensive back Jack Tatum, who in 1978 left a wide receiver paralyzed from the neck down after a tackle. "We all looked up to Jack Tatum, because Jack Tatum would hit you and you were out," Rod says. "We wanted to be Jack Tatum. A hard hit felt good. It didn't hurt. If you hit right, people just bounce off of you. We assumed that the helmet was good enough."
"I've expressed several times," Dave explained on his online radio show in October 2010, "there is nothing like hearing the air rush out of another man."
Not every hit could be performed to perfection, but that's what smelling salts and the sideline "finger test" were for. The word concussion was rarely if ever used. There was no thought of lasting side effects. "Every once in a while, you'd see double and feel fuzzy or dizzy," Rod says. "It was part of the game. The trainer would hold up two fingers. If you saw four fingers, you'd close one eye until you saw two fingers. Then you'd get back in there."
Away from the game, Dave was paced and meticulous. While his teammates were demolishing cafeteria food, he chewed with the belief that each bite should be put away before the next began. He went to church every week and was an advice guru to his teammates. Adds Rod: "He was very popular with the ladies."
In 1981, Notre Dame lost the Sugar Bowl to the University of Georgia. Walking with his teammates back to the hotel from New Orleans' Superdome that night, Rod was stopped by two pretty young women, one of whom flirtatiously eyed Dave. "Who is that guy?" she asked. "I want to meet him."
Rod introduced the girl — a Houstonian named Alicia — to Dave. Rambunctious and assertive, she was his perfect foil. "They locked on to each other," Rod says. "It was instantaneous." Alicia transferred to Notre Dame, and the pair would marry two years later.
Dave started all four years at Notre Dame and twice was named an All-American. After graduating with academic honors in 1983, he entered the NFL Draft. The night he was to be chosen, Dave disappeared. He wasn't in his dorm room, says Rod, and didn't go home to Muncie. It's unclear where he was during the almost three rounds before he was chosen by the Chicago Bears with the 64th pick. "We were all excited about it, but he wanted to be alone during the draft," his niece Yvette says. "I think he was worried he might not be drafted, and he didn't want that to happen in front of us. Dave's whole life was about avoiding failure."
When Uncle Dave drove home to Muncie for a visit on a bye week, Yvette usually knew the moment he rolled into town. The phone would start ringing off the hook. "Girl, I just seen Dave Duerson."
A good chunk of the town's population made parts for Mustangs and Corvettes, but it wasn't often that a brand-new one roared through the streets. And anvil-headed Dave — with that reflective orb of a dome, that mustache, and little round sunglasses — was now an icon in his hometown.
"Hey, niece, you want to go for a ride?" he'd ask at Yvette's house, always his first stop. They'd drive all around town in his sports car, making impromptu visits to his parents, siblings, cousins, and friends. At some point, he'd get his Pizza King fix. Even living in Chicago, capital of the deep-dish pie, Dave always craved Muncie's chain-restaurant slices.
R.I.P. Dave. I hope you now have the peace you didn't have before.
I too had a friend of mine that played for the Jets in the 80's, Tom Baldwin. He too took his own life. Very sad indeed.
His downward spiral started in the incident at the Morris Inn on the campus of the University of Notre Dame - the altercation with his wife resulted in disgrace and ND dumping him from the board and blacklisting him. That's the thanks he got from ND. If it wasn't for how ND treated him, I am convinced he would not have spiraled downward like he did. So sad, so very very sad.
my cousin johnny sawyer played for buffalo bills in the 80''s he liked dave duerson commited same act .

As I was driving my truck on the freeway, all of a sudden the truck started making a strange grinding sound, as I would push on the gas pedal, the truck would give me less and less power. I eased my way off of the freeway and as i exited the freeway my truck died. When i would try to start it, it made a wheezing sound and wouldn't start. The mechanic said that the thermostat housing had a small leak in it, leading to my truck overheating without letting me know. The temperature gauge in the truck never went above normal temperature. What can I do?

Senate votes to end ethanol tax breaks: What it means
A Senate vote to eliminate $6 billion in tax breaks for ethanol producers is a strong sign that ethanol is losing allies and Congress is increasingly open to getting rid of tax breaks.
Rich Pedroncelli/AP/File
The Senate on Thursday voted, 73 to 27, to end billions of dollars of annual tax subsidies for ethanol producers, signaling a new willingness in Congress to trim the deficit by eliminating some federal tax breaks.
The vote Thursday offered closure to a related vote Tuesday, when the same measure failed, 40 to 59. All but six Democrats had voted against that measure because its sponsor, Sen. Tom Coburn (R) of Oklahoma, bypassed Democratic leadership to bring it to the floor.
But the failed vote Tuesday showed that 34 Republicans were willing to eliminate the $6 billion tax break – a potential breakthrough in the effort to find common ground on deficit-cutting between Republicans and Democrats. On Thursday, with the previous procedural snag ironed out, 40 Democrats joined 33 Republicans.
The importance of the vote is likely to be more symbolic that actual. The bill to which the amendment is attached is unlikely to pass. Moreover, the Obama administration has said it would veto any attempt to cut subsidies for ethanol producers entirely.

Hamburgers, french fries, chicken nuggets, pizza, pop, chips, cookies...on any given day that's what kids across America are eating for lunch. And it's no wonder that childhood obesity have more than tripled in the past two decades. For years, Amy Kalafa would pack healthy lunches for her kids, only to find that she was being undermined by the school's unhealthy offerings. So she did what any angry mom would do, she made a movie. She partnered with Susan Rubin, MD (aka the "other mom"), and a leader in the better school food movement.
The movie Two Angry Moms is part expose and part "how to" outlining this grass roots revolution to improve the nutritional quality of school food. According to former Texas Agricultural Secretary Susan Combs, "It will take 2 million angry moms to change school food." This gave Amy an idea.... Build from 2 to 2 million angry moms.
So if you are angry and want to do something, you can go to the Angry Moms website for a list of resources. Here are a few I like:
If you'd like to join the Two Angry Moms movement, here are some ideas for you:

"Knight's move thinking" is a psychiatric term describing a thought disorder where in speech the usual logical sequence of ideas is lost, the sufferer jumping from one idea to another with no apparent connection. It is most commonly found in schizophrenia. To anyone who cares to observe this is also a phenomenon pretty common among people without any psychiatric diagnosis. If you analyse the chain of steps between topics in most casual conversations, there seems to be little logical progression. Casual, drunken or drugged talk relies on very subjective and tenuous jumps from one subject to another. Intellectually rigorous or disciplined dialogues where a central theme is examined by conversants from different angles and no sidetracking occurs isn't always the rule. Maybe schizophrenics do it more, but I think we all do it.
To examine it in more detail there is an implication that there is a kind of logic at work but that knight's move thinking is more a case of eliding three steps of a more linear logic into one leap that is harder for the listening party to follow. I would ask whether a thinker who used this lateral leaping method could in fact emulate a linear step by step argument by clever moves, rather as a knight's tour around a chessboard reaches every square eventually.
Works by writers like James Joyce or William Faulkner may also have an element of this style of idea linkage. Punning and misspelling as a connection between ideas in a conversational flow is very connected to the idea also. Clang association is also based on this idea of a kind of semantic perversity in how one communicates.
I leave you with a poem written by a sufferer of schizophrenia (me actually), which demonstrates a dense serious of lateral associations between terms. Was I suffering from thought disorder when i wrote it ? I am not sure, though there may well also be an ironic simulation of the symptom by self aware sufferers who are not in relapse.

United States
In March the U.S. government announced the establishment of the Commission for the Future of Worker-Management Relations, to be chaired by former secretary of labour John Dunlop, emeritus professor, Harvard University. The commission would, among other things, examine the application of labour law and the history of labour-management cooperation.
The North American Free Trade Agreement was signed by Pres. Bill Clinton on December 8. There had been considerable antagonism toward the pact among the unions, based on their fear that large numbers of jobs would be lost to low-wage Mexico. To assuage fears of unfair practices, in September the Clinton administration negotiated a side agreement with Canada and Mexico creating a commission composed of the labour ministers of all three countries, serviced by a secretariat. The unions were unimpressed.
Potentially the most important event of the year for labour relations--the negotiations between the "big three" automobile manufacturers and the United Auto Workers--passed almost without incident. The union targeted Ford Motor Co. for the first negotiation, which yielded a three-year agreement that provided increased pay and retirement benefits and renewed layoff provisions. The company secured an arrangement providing for lower pay for beginning workers. Similar contracts were later reached with Chrysler Corp. and General Motors Corp.
A series of six-year deals between the United Steelworkers and major steel producers included restricted pay increases, strengthened job-security measures, improvements in pensions, flexibility in manpower utilization, and--the surprising innovation--a union representative to serve on the company board and participate in joint meetings with management on corporate actions that affected employees.
Continental Europe
The economic situation in Germany was poor, particularly in the former East Germany, where unemployment was high and productivity still fell far short of levels in the western states. This led the engineering employers federations in the east to terminate the agreements made in 1991, under which basic wage parity with the west was to have been achieved in April 1994. A 26% installment toward parity was due on April 1, 1993, in place of which the employers offered 9%. The union, IG Metall, responded first with warning strikes and then with large-scale strikes in the east. The dispute was resolved on May 14, when the engineering employers of Saxony reached agreement with the union on the basis of delaying parity until July 1996 after staged interim increases. A "hardship" clause permitted individual enterprises to make a case to the employers federation and the union jointly that they could not meet the contractual obligation and should be allowed to pay less in order to save jobs. Essentially a decision would be made by a joint arbitration body. Parallel agreements were made in the other eastern states, and a similar settlement was made in the steel industry in the east. In September the engineering employers in the western states served formal notice of termination of their agreements with IG Metall on pay and holidays. The union reacted angrily and later put forward its own claim for pay raises of up to 6% and a moratorium on job cuts.
The economic situation in France was also difficult throughout the year, and unions were much preoccupied with responding to job cuts, privatization plans, and the new government's objective of achieving greater employment flexibility. A significant dispute arose in October when unions struck against a plan by the state-owned airline, Air France, that envisioned the loss of 4,000 jobs by the end of 1994. The major Paris airports--and at times other airports--were almost paralyzed by striking ground staff blocking the runways and, for a time, the main access roads. After a difficult week the government, which at first had described the airline's plan as indispensable, announced that a new recovery plan would be negotiated.
There was considerable legislative activity in Italy during the year. In January a decree law on pensions foreshadowed a gradual increase in retirement age from 60 to 65 for men and 55 to 60 for women. Favourable early-retirement arrangements for civil servants were to be phased out over 10 years. A second law placed public-sector employment under civil law and established an agency that would act as the bargaining agent for the state as employer.
The three-year-long talks in Italy on a new collective bargaining structure and worker representation culminated in agreement on July 3. The agreement provided that each year the government, unions, and employers should devise a policy that would limit inflation and favour economic development and employment. In collective bargaining, national agreements concerning wages for each business sector would be made for two years and those for working conditions for four years.
The Swedish economy provided a bleak background to industrial relations. Reporting on the situation in March, a government-appointed commission, headed by the eminent economist Assar Lindbeck, announced a 113-point program that stated unequivocally that wages should be decided at one level only--that of the business enterprise. The commission also suggested that professional lawyers would be more appropriate to serve on labour courts than the employer and union lay members who currently served with the legally qualified chairpersons.
