Steel Storm 2 Caught In A Blizzard
Published on 06 September 2012 08:17 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
A new milestone has been reached with the forthcoming Steel Storm 2 title from Kot-In-Action.
Uploaded to YouTube yesterday was a new Steel Storm 2 video by the game's developers. The video was uploaded with a description of "Another milestone has been reached. Large outdoor terrain, harsh weather, moving clouds drop shadows onto the terrain.. We can do it!"
The best part, at least to us, is "Hopefully we can put a real-time benchmark together using this content." It would be nice to see as this outdoor terrain / blizzard video looks fun although not visually the most amazing thing out there, still rather nice for a Linux title. Steel Storm 2 was originally being powered by the DarkPlaces engine but has now moved to id Tech 4.
Steel Storm 2 was
confirmed for Linux last year
although the indie game's development
isn't going too fast
. The company's other title,
Tomes of Mephistopheles
isn't selling too well
Steel Storm 2 is expected to be a first person shooter inspired by Doom and Quake.

Can a Hoya be planted in soil Sunset zone 23?
Can a vining species of Hoya be planted in the soil in Sunset zone 23? Would it actually climb? Most Hoyas I have seen in San Diego were in hanging baskets, climbing up and trailing down. If one would work, what species would be best, and where can I buy one?
Sorry I have no idea what/where Sunset Zone 23. Perhaps you could just mention the geographic area of the US pls.
Can I ask why you'd want to plant a Hoya in the ground directly? Do you know what the soil is there? Why not plant in a container?
Your winter lows are still far too cold (38F-23F during winter) to grow a Hoya in the ground. Ideally you would want a winter low of no more than 50F for longterm success. If you want to try then I would suggest Hoya carnosa or Hoya pubicalyx because they are cold tolerant and very easy to get. Hopefully someone in your area can suggest a local source. Hoya carnosa is very easy to find in most garden centres.
I have seen photos of huge Hoya pubicalyx plants growing in the ground and covering a huge trellis. Sunset zone 24 would probably be a safe bet but why not try an inexpensive rooted cutting just to see how it does. By planting near a South wall etc you can often grow plants that are usually not winter hardy in your area.

October's birthstone is the opal. Ancient Romans called the opal the "queen of gems" and saw the stone as a symbol of purity and hope. The ancient Greeks believed that opal jewelry gave the power of prophecy to its owner. Opals are considered by many to be one of the precious gems, and October birthstone opal jewelry is a wonderful way to add some decadence to any outfit. With their beautiful iridescence and shining, changing colors, opals are perfect for all types of October birthstone jewelry, including rings, earrings and bracelets.

Gender is irrelevant to the playing of this game. When does whether or not the player is a female ever affect the outcome of the game? Just like how you wouldn't go into a game and say "hi guys, I'm a boy", girls sure as hell aren't going to go into a game and start off by saying "Hi guys, I'm a girl". Is isn't because girls feel uncomfortable in league (from what I've seen through experience anyways), but it's because gender is irrelevant. It's not as though females LIE when they're asked what gender they are, but rather that the discussion of gender just never happens unless you actually meet / get to know a particular player you added as a friend.
There is no reason for girls to make it obvious that they are female in the game. Just like how it's stupid to declare that you're a male... It makes absolutely no difference, and it SHOULDN'T make a difference.
Also, in my very honest opinion, it isn't the art that turns league of legends off for most girls. What makes league less popular to females is the same thing that makes call of duty, l4d2, WoW even to an extent, and many other games less popular.
Edit again:
Not to say the hypersexualization of females personified in league art isn't a problem (which in my opinion is not a top priority anyway), but it isn't the reason why more girls don't play.
I would like to see prostitute annie. Thanks.

I'm a female gamer. I really could care less about making the female characters look ****ty. But for God sakes, if you're gonna have a half naked woman fight battles at least give us some eye candy too! Ezreal and Varus are nice moar plz! Stripper Ez > Pulsefire. And Sexy Firefighter Graves doesn't sound bad either.
Remember Riot, GIRL'S LIKE TO ACCESSORIZE! Hawt male skins = moar money.
Mughi of Ruckus
Note: I started writing this up as its own thread when I noticed this thread. A lot of what I mention here has already been discussed, and I'm glad Rahuel made this thread and that the community didn't downvote it into oblivion. Let me say Rahuel that I largely agree, but now I don't have much of a reason to start my own thread...so I'll just post this here to add my voice. Also, I'm on my 20th draft or so of this thing, so fsck it. I'm just posting it as-is. I have some fanfaction to finish.
TL;DR: Sexualizing a champion isn't always a good idea, but it's not inherently a bad thing, either. There are different ways to make a female champion look sexy: Broke back poses = Terrible and Ridiculous. Battle Bikini = Bad in general, as the default skin worse. Playboy bunny skin on character it doesn't fit that has splash art to explain it = better, but kind of wonky. Assertive fencer with a skin that shows a bit of cleavage with a pendent to draw your eye just so, an alluring smile and a flash of thigh = Now we're talking. Less is not always more. One size does not fit all. Personality counts. Not every champion should be sexualized.
So, I have an issue with the new splash arts for Lux and Morgana. Okay, that's kind of a lie. I have a problem with a wider issue they seem to represent. First, let me start with this: I both like and dislike them at the same time. I like the new splash arts because I think in most ways they're better drawn and colored than the old ones, I can't help but dislike them at the same time because of the one glaring way in which I think they're both worse: Their backs and their terrible, familiar impossibility. Backs only ever get drawn that way for one reason, and its benefits do not outweigh its ridiculousness. It's a look that reduces a woman to her parts to try to make her sexy. To the extent that it works, it works in the worst possible way. The severity of Morgana's brokeback, as the pose has come to be called, is frankly the reason I dislike her new splash art overall despite everything it does right. Similarly, while I like just about everything about Lux's new splash art, her back makes me shake my head every time I see it. Were it not for the brokeback pose the splash would be pretty much perfect. I know the idea was probably it hurts nothing while adding a bit of fan service, but it hurts the look of the art as a whole, and that's not the only side effect, either.
It's easy to not understand or miss completely the effect these decisions have. As a guy I...well, let me explain it this way instead. I'm a pretty tall guy. For the most part, I never really notice others' heights. In my day to day life, it's really just not a big deal...well, not any sort of deal at all, really. This changes on those rare occasions I come across someone noticeably taller than me. Then, suddenly, I notice the difference in height. Clearly there is a part of my brain processing height information all the time, but as a tall person, I'm never consciously aware of it until I come across someone taller, and suddenly, my brain can relate to me why a difference in height can significantly affect your perception of someone.
I think this is pretty similar. If you see a generally non-sexualized character like Lux whose defining traits are her optimism, light magic and her brilliance and then see her main splash art changed to one that gives emphasis to her breasts and her butt at the expense of her plausibility, it sends a message about what is important for her character. For some people, there's nothing to see. For others this message is clear and sharp. for others, this message extends to women as a whole. I don't mean to suggest it says her sexuality is the only thing that's important. Rather, I suggest it says her other traits are insufficient, and it is important that she is not only sexualized too, but sexualized in a very specific way. You may not mean it to, you may not realize it, but it does say this, and not only to women. The other day when starting a match, I picked Morgana as my champion, and one of the other summoners said, and I paraphrase, "I love how her new splash makes her look like a *** doll." That right there represents the change in perception toward her character that is the specific result of the new splash art: It's doesn't create a "something for everyone" situation. It creates a situation where Morgana is taken less seriously as a character and more seriously as a *** object. I know there will always be people who look at female champions this way no matter what is done, bit I think it's worth noting that character identity and sexuality are not necessarily mutually exclusive. There are good and bad ways to try to make a woman look sexy, and the reason this splash has this affect is because of what it emphasizes and how, but shifting how sexiness is depicted can change the response significantly.
To start, all sexiness does not look alike. Quick exercises for illustration: Which is sexier, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoot or a Dita von Teese photo shoot?" A woman in a tube top and shorts or a woman in a little black dress? A woman standing with her back twisted to show off her body; a woman standing straight looking right into your eyes, her eyes slightly crinkled and a faint smile on her painted lips; or a woman leaning slightly back, one foot behind he other and biting her lower lip? I would be surprised if you could come up with answers that were in any way empirical and not subjective. There are variations in sexiness that are largely absent in your designs. This is important for reasons that don't involve more effectively titillating all segments of your fan base. It's important because women know this, and when a woman takes the effort to look sexy she generally does so in a way that is reflective of her personal style.
For example, if you asked me what Vayne would dress like when she wanted to look sexy and had I never seen the Heartseeker skin, I would have imagined a somewhat Victorian-inspired look. Petticoats may or may not have been involved. What I would not have imagined is bright pink and red and white, clean lines, maximum skin exposure, angel wings and hearts. I'm not saying it's a bad skin for what it's intended to be, and I understand why you made it the way you did, but it doesn't quite fit with how she's otherwise portrayed. (It does mean we should have gotten a cupid Varus too, though. :P) It prioritizes imposing an idea of sexiness over what her character would have considered sexy. Similarly, if I had been asked the same question about Caitlyn...well...putting her in a stripper's version of a sheriff's uniform sounds like something an evil villain would do to mock her. Her wearing a dominatrix-influenced take of an actual sheriff's uniform I can maybe see. Maybe a sheriff's uniform slightly undone in just the right ways. A stripper version? Not so much. Finally, if you asked me about Riven, Battle Bunny would not have been my guess. Not because it's a bad way of making her sexy, but because it seems to have no connection to her at all. I'll grant that this was a player-designed skin, that it's probably equal parts camp and humor as well given the iconic nature of the costume, and that the splash does make it look like she only dressed that way to infiltrate somewhere and put the hurt on someone who needed hurtin', but that's a lot of caveats to make putting her in a bunny suit reasonable. I'll also grant that not every skin needs to be steeped in lore. There's room for goofy, random, sexy, etc skins. Still, lack of connection is currently not the exception, but the rule. Still, I will count battle bunny as, "not bad." I will probably buy it if it ever goes on sale.
In summary my concern is the shape of the sexualization of many female champions is identical and defined more by application of a single standard frequently involving random male fantasies/fetishes than any sense of the character's identity and is applied in a number of places where it is not appropriate. I would have fewer issues with Morgana being sexualized if her sexualization involved a separate skin with her decked out in gothic veils and torn lace rather than brokebacking her default splash. So come on, Riot, fixing this will only titillate more people more effectively.
Okay, and while taking some time between writing and editing this, I saw Headmistress Fiora for the first time. I have to say that does look very much along the lines of how I imagine a sexy Fiora would dress and does not rely on simply showing more skin. It isn't perfect. It raises the obvious question of why the only woman in a harrowing costume is also the only champion being sexualized in costume, but that's sadly a larger issue with Halloween costumes for women in real life. (This is one of the reasons I'm so fond of http://takebackhalloween.org/, which I have no affiliation with. Still, you artists should check it out for inspiration via some solid designs for women) I wish the boob window was subtler and not such a dramatic contrast to the rest of the outfit. You have rolled up sleeves, a flash of thigh, a pendant hanging just so, all of which are subtle, precise stabs as someone's libido. Then you have an enormous boob window. Sadly, though, the boob window is very similar in size to the ones in her other alternate skins and not really specific to this costume, but I do wish it were subtler. Still, this is very much along the lines of what I meant. Also, hot damn!
Note: I was once told by a, athletic, well-endowed female friend that for active women with large breasts, it's less of a window and more of a vent, so I've come to see them as not necessarily gratuitous. If this is not correct and she was just teasing me, someone please let me know.
So there you have it. My two cents...or fifty dollars, but the TL;DR is there for you if two cents is all you want. Regardless, thank you for reading if you did, and thank you for the work and progress you've been making. A special shout-out as regards this to Iron Stylus, who is the best.
Demographic note: Straight, young adult male who bought and adores the design on Championship Riven's armor despite some minor issues and bought Diana more or less immediately in large part over appreciation of her concept and design but who also hopes the Octoberfest Beer Maid Sona Skin gets made. Oh, and who totally plans to buy Headmistress Fiora once she's available now that he's seen her. I mean, hot damn! Current favorite skin: Arcade Sona
And Mughi of Ruckus hits the nail through the head straight to the frickin' moon. Well done, sir.
I had a long rant about how men should be allowed to complain about all male champs looking good, but my internet died and i lost it. Bottom line- i agree with you from an artistic point of view however, there is no battle practicality or varus being shirtless. i feel that both female and male champs look good and are eye pleasing.i do not understand why anyone dislikes sexy champs i'm more than happy that 90% of male champs are muscle bound or charming or handsome. tohugh i agree there needs to be some sexy skins for females like rugged garen.
P.S. save yourself the pain, art team, and just do void champs from now on, nothign more awesome and feminest/ masculist pleasing than kog'maw, cho' gath and kha'zix

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
29 Oct 2004 19:11 GMT
UN troops loaded three bodies on to a truck in the debris-strewn main street of the Paynesville suburb where the violence first erupted overnight, while residents peered out from behind doors after a daylight curfew was imposed.
A petrol station was ablaze and smoke rose from a torched building. White UN pickup trucks and armoured vehicles cruised the normally bustling streets, empty but for sticks, rocks and burned-out vehicles, while a helicopter hovered overhead.
Witnesses said a dispute between Muslim and Christian residents near Paynesville late on Thursday had mushroomed into a full-scale riot by Friday morning and then spread to the hilly centre of the coastal port city.
An aid worker at a Paynesville hospital said they had taken in 17 injured people, some with gunshot and machete wounds.
Civil war
Liberia became a byword for anarchy and brutality in an already turbulent region during nearly 14 years of civil war but sectarian violence is unusual and the government blamed a "small group of misguided individuals" for stirring up trouble.
Liberia suffered from 14 years of bloody civil war"Today the forces of darkness attempted to disrupt the peace and security of our country," said interim leader Gyude Bryant visiting Paynesville, where places of worship and gas stations owned by Muslims were torched.
Liberia suffered from 14 years of bloody civil war
"The perpetrators of evil, in pursuit of their objective of keeping this country in a state of perpetual anarchy and chaos, decided to use the peace-loving Christians and Muslims of Liberia to attack each other," he said.
Sporadic gunfire could still be heard in Paynesville late on Friday afternoon.
Liberia is struggling to emerge from its protracted war. The impoverished West African country is home to 15,000 United Nations troops, the biggest peacekeeping force in the world.
The government said Taylor's supporters provoked violence More than 80,000 fighters have been disarmed but with a crippled economy, massive unemployment and few opportunities, youths, many of them ex-combatants, vent their anger and frustration by rioting.
The government said Taylor's supporters provoked violence
Liberia's information minister, William Allen, said the curfew would remain in force until further notice and Bryant said UN troops were authorised to use "lethal force" to curb violence or looting and enforce the curfew.
Allen accused members of exiled former President Charles Taylor's party (NPP) of plotting to whip up violence to disrupt the UN disarmament programme, which is due to end shortly.
Earlier on Friday, young men clutching sticks and machetes roamed streets near Paynesville while UN peacekeepers blocked a main road and tried to chase rioters back.
UN accused
In the centre of Monrovia angry former fighters ran carrying petrol canisters on their heads looking for things to burn. Thick smoke rose from a building in the town centre.
Residents brought the body of a young man to the office of the UN special envoy to Liberia, Jacques Klein, saying he was shot by peacekeepers near the German embassy. There was no independent confirmation of how the student had died.
UN armoured vehicles and blue-helmeted soldiers lined a street in the Mamba Point district that is home to most of the UN agencies and the US embassy.
During the civil war battle lines were usually drawn along loose ethnic or regional lines, rather than religious ones.
About 20% of Liberia's population is Muslim, 40% Christian and 40% follows animist beliefs.

So, as much as I hate reality tv, I admit to loving Trading Spouses and Wife Swap. It's just plain interesting to me.. Yes, I'm also that person that walks down the street at night and looks in people's windows as I walk by. (Heh.. I'm not stopping, or climbing up a tree to peep.. but, hey, if you leave your blinds open and lights on, I'm totally going to look into your house!)
Anyway, I think I've seen almost every one of these that have ever been made. And I get soooo annoyed with the ones that swap the relgious freaks with the A/A families. The religious ones annoy me for the obvious reasons (like this lady today who, in a discussion with the agnostic dad says that Muslims and Buddhists will be 'saved' as long as they accept Christ as their Lord before they die.. Oh boy..). But it's very dissapointing to me because the A/A family is often quite ignorant themselves and rarely seem to have a very good argument against what the religious person is spouting.. Make sense? I mean, I can tell you exactly WHY I don't believe in organized religion and what I find wrong or inconsistant within Christianity. I have read the Bible so I would know what I was talking about and I feel that I am educated on all sides. I'm also open minded and don't disrespect people simply because of their faith (it's a different story when someone starts attacking me or telling me I can't have morality or purpose in life.. )
Anyway, yes, I'm letting a reality show bother me. But c'mon guys.. If you're going to go on national tv as a representative of your non-faith, own it. Make a good point and don't make all athiests and agnostics look like idiots and/or jerks.
Okay.. That's all. Just venting.

- Not really Red. More Orange Review by Heidi
We ordered several colors and had some issues with them. The red was very orange and did not look red at all. If you specifically need a red hair spray be careful with this one. All 8 cans were a bright orange. It was fun and everyone had a good time with it just the same though so if the color is not super important this would be a good choice.

"Worth the visit with cheap rate but ok service"
- Posted 1 month ago
Lonavala is a beautiful hill station very near to Mumbai. Our friends visited here over the weekend and had a great time. It's a government property so don�t expect any 5 star treatment as its very basic, but the best part is its located just away from the main city on the highway which lets it get a feeling of being in a forest. So nature lovers are gonna enjoy this place and gonna enjoy the morning walks amidst the trees. Make sure you go in a group and take your own vehicle. Meals are ok and the service too. If I stay here again I will make sure to take my own snacks along with me and my own car too. But very good location which makes it worth and cheap too.More » « Less

- Posted 3 months ago
Property was not very well maintained throughout but it was a huge property. You can have a nice walk inside. If someone likes to be with the nature this is the best property. The water park was very well maintained and had lots of fun. They do not have room service at all. For everything you need to go to the reception. Even for tea you need to go to the restaurant. The rooms were not at all maintained but it was spacious. The suite had three rooms.More » « Less

"Nice private resort for a weekend getaway"
- Posted Dec 8, 2014
We travelled to Lonavla thrice (once on a day trip and stayed at MTDC twice). It was hardly 2.5 hours from Mumbai and is a great place for monsoon getaway. The drive from Mumbai during monsoons is awesome with small waterfalls on the way.More » « Less
MTDC is located at Karla, few km ahead of the main Lonavla town. It's a huge property which offers a very private vacation. Both the times we went to MTDC, we extended our stay by 2 days because of the relaxation it offers from the mad crowd at Mumbai. My views about MTDC:
Location: The resort is not difficult to locate if you keep an eye on the signboards. It's little away from the city so it's best to have your vehicle when you drive down to MTDC. There are autos always at the gate, but I am guessing they charge quite high.
Property: It's a huge property and you can park your car right in front of your room. It has a lake, restaurant, play area, ayurveda centre. It has a water park also but we didn't explore it (thanks to our laziness).
Room: Rooms are clean, though little run down. We stayed once in AC cottage and next time in non-AC (AC is not required usually in the monsoons). The difference between the 2 is the balcony/verandah. The AC ones have a cement railing on which you can sit and enjoy the surroundings. It would be nice if they could provide chairs in the balcony. There were scheduled power cuts but they had power backups. Extra pillows, mattresses are charged.
Restaurant: It's just manageable. They have a room service too, but its slow. They have a morning tea service which is good. If you have a car, you can drive to Lonavla town and there are many good restaurants around. You have Rajdhani, Dominos, etc. and no. of Gujrati food joints which offer thali at reasonable prices.
Play area: It is all wet during monsoons so we didn't use them much. The 2nd time we went, we had our 7 month old baby with us and he liked the swing.
Lake: It's not very clean but not bad too!
The staff is friendly and what we liked the most about the place is the kind of relaxation it offers. You can take a morning walk and evening walk and spend whole day sitting outside, reading a book or listening to music. We don't live in Mumbai any more but will definitely stay at MTDC if we happen to visit Lonavla again!

"Parking space, proper amenities"
- Posted Oct 8, 2014
It was a good hotel. I liked it. We travelled there by car. Parking space was available there. There was no activity available there. No sightseeing trip was organized by them. Room was spacious and well-maintained. It was also neat and clean. TV, geyser, and other provided amenities were working properly in the room. River was available nearby the hotel so river view was available from the room. There was no delay in check-in and check-out time. Inside and outside look of the hotel was good. It was value for money. I will recommend this hotel to others. I had gone there with my friends in 2013.More » « Less

"Good parking facility; spacious rooms"
- Posted Sep 29, 2014
I must say that the room service was very good, efficient and cheap. The staff were very polite and attentive to all your needs. No problem during check-in and check-out and there were activities, but they were not working condition. Location was excellent, there was no difficult to find out and there were shopping malls and temples nearby. Hotel appearance was good and the interior was well decorated. I took non-AC room, room was spacious, neat and comfortable with basic amenities and there was greenery view from the room. They provided food with less varieties, the quality and taste of the food was not good. There was sufficient parking space facility and they arranged a vehicle for sightseeing places. I stayed here for official purpose with colleagues. They provided only Maharashtrian food so they should also provide north and south Indian food.More » « Less

It started because I wanted a theme, that required CM. So I've browsed a lot of threads and tried some things, and a couple of restarts and factory resets later, it went downhill.
So, P760 20i, running stock 4.1.2, after the last factory reset, I rooted it using this tutorial. I did that in order to install this CWM, to further install CM 10.1, the one I needed. After I did all that and finally booted up in recovery mode, I wiped user data as per instructions in the last link, and when trying to install the ROM, an error felt the need to interfere with my plans. So that's how I ended up with a phone that, if I don't take 3 more pills now, I'm gonna give to the dog to chew on.
It powers on, passes the LG logo, after the screen goes white and it says Under Coding...and the only option is a button to Reset Phone (it's basically a restart phone). A pop-up immediatly appears, saying that com.android.phone has stopped. After I click OK on that it asks for my SIM PIN, it accepts it, and briefly shows a weird, low-res old-looking Android lock screen and then back to the blank screen with another pop-up, asking me about Mobile Networks. That's about all the interaction there is. Click Home button does nothing, clicking Back button just swipes the screen back on the screen, and Menu does nothing. Rebooting from that button is again useless.
That CWM is still there, I can access boot in recovery mode, but to no avail. I've wiped cache, wiped Dalvik Cache, rebooted and nothing. I've tried hard reset with vol down+home then power for 3 secs, release power but still hold down vol down+home until the friendly robot appears, but the result is the same, nothing happens.
During the day I went through more methods, I had a lot of trouble with fastboot which I couldn't get to work.
My question is, based on what I told you, can you instruct me in the right direction ? Also, now that this happened and if it's possible to fix it, could it be fixed with CM installed automatically, or will it be a stock reset and then again back to the drawing board ?
If you need any more details, I'll try to provide, I didn't do much after the last factory reset except for what you see here.

Canadian oil sands currently account for more than 1 million barrels/day of U.S. oil imports. The U.S. is stalling refinery and pipeline projects needed to further develop these reserves--the Keystone XL pipeline is one example. The 1,661-mile Keystone XL pipeline would deliver Canadian crude oil to Gulf of Mexico refineries, supporting jobs across America and generating $775 billion in GDP for America.

WASHINGTON, March 25, 2015 – America's oil and freight railroad industries have developed a new education module for first responders as part of a holistic effort to better prevent, mitigate and respond to derailments of trains carrying crude oil, the heads of API and the Association of American Railroads (AAR) announced today.
WASHINGTON, March 24, 2015 – A Department of Energy report on crude oil properties and transportation safety published today highlights the continued need for efforts to prevent more train derailments, said API Director of Midstream Robin Rorick.
WASHINGTON, March 20, 2015 – The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) hydraulic fracturing rule imposes new costs and delays on energy development without improving on existing state and federal regulations, according to API.
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2015 ─ API urged lawmakers to lift outdated trade restrictions on U.S. oil as America becomes the number one producer in the world.
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2015 ─ Total U.S. petroleum deliveries (a measure of demand) rose 1.5 percent from February 2014 to average 19.3 million barrels per day. This was the highest February demand since 2008.
WASHINGTON, March 18, 2015 – API today expressed support for proposals in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to rein in new and costly ozone regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
RALEIGH, N.C., March 17, 2015 – North Carolina Petroleum Council (NCPC) Executive Director David McGowan said that today's enactment of state regulations governing hydraulic fracturing in North Carolina presents a unique opportunity to create well-paying jobs for North Carolinians and bring additional revenue to the state's economy.
WASHINGTON, March 16, 2015 – The administration should keep the current ozone standards of 75 parts per billion, which are not only the strictest standards ever imposed; they have yet to be fully implemented, API Senior Director of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs Howard Feldman told reporters in a conference call Monday to preview API's comments to EPA.
Select a social action network to make your voice heard
Rapid growth in natural gas production, thanks to vast shale deposits and hydraulic fracturing, is reviving America's manufacturing and other sectors while helping reduce U.S. carbon emissions to a 20-year low.
U.S. crude oil production has reached its highest point since 1997, due to production from shale and other tight rock formations, while reducing imports to their lowest level in more than 20 years.
Get Involved: America's oil and natural gas industry is creating jobs, stimulating the economy through investments in energy development and fueling our modern way of life. Sign up with one of our social action networks today to make your voice heard. Together, we can find commonsense solutions to our nation's energy challenges.
Energy Tomorrow is a project of the American Petroleum Institute – the only national trade association that represents all aspects of America's oil and natural gas industry – speaking for the industry to the public, Congress and the Executive Branch, state governments and the media.

Rakan was expressing his resentment in the very last sentence in the chapter hidden at the left bottom of the last page (red arrow)..
also it seems that for some reason Rakan and Eva are hiding (or trying to hide) the truth about this "encroachment of magia erebea" from Negi.. but I find it unlikely that Negi hasn't found out or at least felt it..
I hope ME's encroachment dosent turn out like Bleach... Hollow Negi?! It'd better be original, interesting, unique, and realistic.
The fight ended up with a draw. A very excellant conclusion to the long drag out fight. When it comes to Negi using Magic Erebea, he will need to be careful when he uses it until he has master it well enough for the spell not to have a major effect on him. Fate will force Negi to use Magic Erebea during one of their next battles. Fate will likely have another fight with Negi before the final battle.
The spell which Negi needs to master is the one which his father had used during the Demon Raid. I forgot what it is call. It does have the impact which Negi seeks. The spell is still a tricky one since it can kill and destroy.
Just to remind you all, Fate is not the last boss. It is not 100% certain that the mage of the beginning is "dead". Anything goes now... I hope KA has a good ride prepared to sum up the war, Fate, and the reasons behind everything.- (Negi's mom, Nagi disappearing, Reasons for war, etc.)
^ Good ride? He already summarized the war though >.>
Farleen // Number 42Originally Posted by AvatarST
he can't seem to keep his indifferent front with Eva as he does with Negi and the rest of the kids..
for me unique and interesting will be enough, and I don't want any hollow transformations please
Negi vs. Hollow Negi would ruin the whole thing for me, especially if Hollow Negi was exactly like Shirosaki... I would think Encroachment would be based of corroding and killing Negi in a slow and painful manner. Perhaps his personality would shift, Negi does seem easily frustrated since he used ME (refer to Rakan and subject on Asuna/Drugs). That would explain why Eva "became evil", when she was a perfectly nice and cute little vampire before...
