The crimes committed against innocent people in Darfur represent a shameful episode in the history of Sudan and its neighbours, including Chad, which has played a dubious role in sustaining the seething conflict. Equally disgraceful is the politicising of the bloody conflict in ways that will ensure its continuation.
The decision of the International Criminal Court's (ICC) prosecutor-general, Luis Moreno- Ocampo, to file an arrest warrant for Sudan's current President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, and the international responses to his decision, demonstrate both the politicising of the crisis and the selectiveness of international law.
Consider this bizarre twist. The US Congress passed a resolution, on 22 June 2004, declaring that the violence in Darfur was state-sponsored genocide. The resolution — named the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act — was signed into law by President Bush in October 2006.
Between the vote and Bush's signature the United Nations conducted a sweeping investigation — unlike Congress's rash decision which was based almost entirely on lobby and interest group pressure — declaring, in early 2005, that both the government and militias were systematically abusing civilians in Sudan's western province. It insisted, however, that no genocide had taken place.
The US is not a signatory of the ICC — understandably so, given that many legal experts deem the war crimes of invading and occupying Iraq as the worst since World War II. Although the ICC is, in theory, an independent body, it often investigates or provides legal opinions on cases passed on by the United Nations Security Council which is dominated by the United States, its vetoes and foreign policy interests.
It is anomalous that Moreno-Ocampo's request adhered to Congress's political labelling of the conflict in western Sudan and not that of the United Nations' own comprehensive and less politicised report.
Equally interesting is the response of the US and other governments, as well as regional and international bodies to the decision.
The US, which like Sudan doesn't recognise the jurisdiction of the ICC, was pleased by the court prosecutor-general's move. "In our view, recognition of the humanitarian disaster and the atrocities that have gone on there is a positive thing," said US State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack.
China and Russia — both of which have immense and growing economic interests in Africa — found the decision unhelpful and called for restraint. It's not only the Sudanese government that they wish to woo but other African states, alarmed by the court's move which is likely to worsen the tribal war and jeopardise the safety of the people of Darfur and the numerous humanitarian missions and workers in the region. (The UN has already declared its intent to pull back staff from a joint UN-African Union mission, one welcomed by the Al-Bashir government and which is credited for contributing to the slight improvement in the situation there).
The African Union, often discounted, if not entirely undermined, by Western political institutions, has called on the ICC to suspend its decision until the crisis in Darfur is resolved. In fact, intense efforts have succeeded in bringing warring parties to the negotiation table and extracting important concessions that, with international support, could bring the crisis to an end. But the call made by AU chairman, Tanzanian Foreign Minister Bernard Membe, is unlikely to be heeded as economic and political interests in Darfur are too significant for Western countries to allow Africa's own leaders to meddle.
While some human rights organisations and many media pundits, largely based in Western capitals, welcomed Moreno-Ocampo's request — conveniently ignoring the hypocrisy of the decision and the mayhem and instability it will create in the already fractious region — others in Africa and the Middle East are not impressed. African and Middle Eastern media decried the selectiveness and rigidity of international law when the conflict concerns poor countries, and its blindness and flexibility when the perpetrators of crimes are countries that wield military and economic might, and often the power of veto.
The ICC was established in 2002, immediately before the US aggression against Iraq. Interestingly, the ICC's jurisdiction — for obvious reasons — doesn't include the crime of aggression. Equally telling is that the court has so far investigated just four conflicts — in Northern Uganda, Congo, Darfur and the Central African Republic. One cannot help but wonder if only Africans are capable of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
It's this selectiveness that makes Moreno-Ocampo's request a textbook example of the inner-workings of international law. It exposes governments like the US and Britain which condemn war crimes and authoritarian regimes in Sudan, Zimbabwe and elsewhere while perpetrating war crimes of their own, aiding and abetting authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere, as hopelessly addicted to double standards.
For Moreno-Ocampo's decision — and the entire international legal apparatus in the West — to be taken seriously, impartiality and fairness are essential. They are qualities, however, that remain conspicuously absent, vetoed, or otherwise shunted, into the sidings of history.
Regardless of whether the ICC judges will honour Moreno- Ocampo's request to issue an arrest warrant for the Sudanese president the Darfur conflict cannot be settled by selective justice, self- serving politics or contract-seeking oil corporations. Justice in Sudan, or anywhere else for that matter, cannot be obtained through such practices which are at best "unhelpful" and at worse could be used by the international order's self-appointed policemen to further legitimatise their destructive policies of "intervention" — economic sanctions, war, and the rest.

Re: sailing braless!
This is a discussion I've had with my wife several times. As a man, I personally don't see the point of wearing a bra unless you have large and pendulous breasts that require support. I would think that "manageable size girls" would simply do fine swinging at the tune of your pace. I also don't see the point of breast implants for most women either. But hey, it is a man's opinion only and I feel the same with the "junk down below free ranging".
We are not shy or are hung up on nudity taboos and such. We have raised our kids the same way as well, yet pointing the differences between hang ups/taboos and perverts. They go to the beach with us all the time and see from full nudity to topless and don't think anything of it for a single second whether is us as parents or anyone else around. Yet, as the boys they are, if they see a naked mannequin in a store they make comments and giggle. Kind of cute actually.
I think most people that sail are on the older third of age (50+ years) as it is not a cheap hobby most 23 y.o. can pick up. Due to generational and age related customs, it would be harder to see women topless, braless, etc. Then again, when we have been in nude beaches around the world, the most common population is the older third!!
I had a friend that sailed a lot solo. He would do passages for days alone. He was extremely shy and had tons of issues with nudity and such. Yet, he would tell me how the most comfortable way to sail, especially on rough seas was nude. He claimed that it allowed him not to get trapped in salty clothing all the time while on deck. He claims he is not any more careful because of "swinging equipment" than he would be if he wore clothing then. I see his point, but not literally LOL...............

no way in hell are people going to be quiet for this.
I'm so excited to see him. Saturday is easily the most stacked day (for me) and if I see no one else but Jeff, I'll be happy.
Oh god. Hes out of hiding. Went to the Occupy Wall street protest and now this? Im so fing stooked. I hope he never stops playing. I think i might walk through the gates and sit infront of the stage all day until he plays. oh man.
Dammit, I really wanted to start this thread and call it: "Crying With Strangers, or, Jeff Mangum is the reason I'm attending Coachella this year"
Because, yeah. This is why i decided to break my two year Coachella absence and attend. See you all at the front of the stage on Weekend 2. I'll be the one crying my eyes out and reliving what it was like to be 14 years old.
That would also be terrible! Guetta would drown Mangum out. Leonard Cohen Spot in 09 is the way to go. How about if he plays sunset on the outdoor before The Shins go on?
The White Stripes 9/18
This is where my glance was first drawn on the poster and nothing else could live up to that moment of sheer child-like glee. I really hope they pair him well against something that won't make it impossible to enjoy the quiet moments, of which there are obviously many.
He was amazing at ATP in September. I'm not sure how it will fly at Coachella, but if they can do something like what they did for Cohen, that would be cool. Even though it was predicted, still a great get for the fest.
I will probably cry during Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2. By probably I mean definitely.
Sheeeit.... I said to myself after 2010, "It's going to take Neutral Milk Hotel or Outkast to get me back down there." And then they went and got him. Fuck. So many tears gonna be shed
dancing so fast
Was mesmerized by his performance at ATP. Very excited to see him again.
What is the setup these days? Will there be horns?
not going to lie.... im really late on this one, but MY GOD! So incredible, so much emotion.... And for once i completely agree w/ Supre. It needs to be silent, there needs to be a sunset.
Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)
Absolutely cannot wait!
can't wait for this set... saturday is so fucking stacked
A whiney dude with a guitar at that.
The only reason he went to the Occupy Wall Street Protests is because all the hipsters (those who are pissing their pants to see him) was to get that uniqueness and publicity to stroke his upcoming tour.
It worked for him. The sheep are following.
I seriously doubt Jeff Mangum needed to do OWS to gain followers.
If he doesn't get a sunset slot - how about early one before all the bands get going
at noon in the mojave tent.
He did a matinee show at the ATP festival - this will be like that.
And it will free up Saturday nights already too many possible conflicts.
I can't believe this is happening next week

September 15, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 13, Athletics 0Â (96-54)
The Tigers continued to roll in a number of ways. They not only ran up the score on the A's, but Mickey Lolich threw a shutout and the Tigers cut their magic number down to just two. Lolich continued to build on his strong second half and he gave up just three hits and two walks with twelve strikeouts in the shutout.
Three different Tigers belted a combined five homers in this one.  Jim Northrup and Bill Freehan both belted a pair. Freehan finished with four RBIs while Northrup drove in three. Willie Horton also went yard with his 36th of the season. He went two for four and his homerun was a solo shot.

Ending Crack is the name of a route on Black Wall, also known as "Sespe Wall, in the mountains north of the town of Ojai, California.
Ending Crack, formerly known as "straight Up Crack," is the most prominent feature on Black Wall. This beautiful two pitch route is about two hundred feet long and splits the wall into two halves. Ending Crack is probably the most popular route on the entire face, but not the oldest. The credit for the original route on the face should go to its neighbor "Tree Root," formerly known as "Tree Route."
A Personal Note: The first time I climbed on Ending Crack in the the early 1970s, only the first half of the crack was clear of lichen. At that time doing the second pitch was like playing Russian Roullet with your life. I guess I was too young, or too stupid to know better when I thought that somehow I could find a way up the lichen-covered upper face when the crack ended. All I remember from that experience now is that it was cold and windy, my eyes were full of dirt, and I was clawing at the rock forty feet above the belay with zero protection in place. How I lived through that late afternoon remains a mistery to me to this day.
The second pitch of Ending Crack is now a clean and beautiful face/crack climb that can be protected and like the first pitch goes as 5.7. Local climbers have moved the end of the first pitch much higher than the original and placed beefy bolts to anchor several climbers. The days of a single 1/4 bolt half way up the face for your anchor are long gone. There are also bolt anchors near the top for belaying the second pitch and rapelling the route. No need to climb to the very top and descend a very unpleasant broken south shoulder.
The base of the climb is right next to a running creek. On a warm summer day you can look for a swimming hole up and down this creek. The holes aren't big enough to swim in, but you can cool down nicely and have lunch in the shade of many trees nearby.
Descent: Two separate two-rope rappels should get you to the base.
Getting There
Directions to Black Wall of Sespe Gorge cannot be simpler. From Highway 101 and the city of Ventura, California, take Highway 33 north for 13.2 miles to its junction with Maricopa Road in the town Ojai. Turn left here onto Maricopa and drive another twenty miles. You will see Black Wall to your left across the creek.
Unlike in the mountains of Santa Barbara, there are a number of campgrounds along Highway 33 on your way to Black Wall. Wheeler Gorge Campground is one. If you want to camp closer to town, there are many State Beach campgrounds along the beaches of Ventura County.
The following links should help you find a suitable spot for camping.

Soothing Creamy Rice
Recipe Courtesy of �Michelle Urvater
- Cooking Monday-Friday
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth or water
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen petite peas
- 3/4 cup (2 ounces) grated sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 2 to 3 drops Tabasco sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a medium size saucepan combine rice with broth and bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat. Cover and simmer until the rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the peas and simmer, covered 5 minutes longer. At this point you can serve half to the kids, garnished with some cheese. If you are making this for adult tastes only stir in Worcestershire, cayenne and grated cheese. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir until the cheese is entirely melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately before the dish gets gummy.
To reheat leftovers and change the flavor a bit, layer the rice in a baking dish and top with some tomato sauce. Cover and reheat in a microwave or regular oven until very hot.

States nationwide are being forced to find alternatives to executions now that drugs for lethal injections are hard to come by. Abolishing the death penalty altogether generated considerable debate. Baggs Senator Larry Hicks says the death penalty provides justice for victims. But Laramie Representative Cathy Connolly says the issue is greater than that. Legislative Committee Will Consider Abolishing The Death Penalty By Bob Beck • Sep 4, 2014 The Wyoming Legislature's Joint Judiciary Committee will consider a bill next week in Laramie that could end up abolishing the state's death penalty law. Currently states are having difficulty acquiring the chemicals to perform lethal injections, so the Judiciary Committee has been looking at other alternatives…including firing squads.

Holmlund, Helena, McNally, Sandra and Viarengo, Martina (2008) Does money matter for schools? IZA discussion papers, 3769. Institute for the Study of Labor, Bonn, Germany.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
There is considerable disagreement in the academic literature about whether raising school expenditure improves educational outcomes. Yet changing the level of resources is one of the key policy levers open to governments. In the UK, school expenditure has increased by about 40 per cent in real terms since 2000. Thus, providing an answer to the question as to whether such spending has an impact on educational outcomes (and whether it is good use of public money) is of paramount importance. In this paper we address this issue for England using much better data than what has generally been used in such studies. We are also able to test our identification assumption by use of a falsification test. We find that the increase in school expenditure over recent years has had a consistently positive effect on outcomes at the end of primary school. Back-of-envelope calculations suggest that the investment may well be cost-effective. There is also some evidence of heterogeneity in the effect of expenditure, with higher effects for students who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

1964 was the year the Beatles came to America, Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali, and three civil rights workers were murdered in Mississippi. It was the year when Berkeley students rose up in protest, African Americans fought back against injustice in Harlem, and Barry Goldwater's conservative revolution took over the Republican Party. In myriad ways, 1964 was the year when Americans faced choices: between the liberalism of Lyndon Johnson or Barry Goldwater's grassroots conservatism, between support or opposition to the civil rights movement, between an embrace of the emerging counterculture or a defense of traditional values.

I really love Machida's program--it's really beautiful!!
I really love Machida's program--it's really beautiful!!
Ok tun skated really beautifully! Such committment to the character and the music. Well deserved win!
If you want to see artistry on ice than you should watch shows like Stars on ice or something, NOT competitions, because in sport it's mostly about achievements and challenge and only THEN adding a cherry on the top. Those who manage to demonstrate excellency in both, win.
And honestly, I'm every time for 4+3 and quads in men, difficult 3+3, 3A in women. They fascinate me more than super edges.
And Kovtun was great! He showed both brilliant TES and he sold the program very well, it suits him. LP will be tough for him, he ususally gets tired(((
Edges are important because this is a figure skating competition not figure jumping. Skating is all about the relationship between the blade and ice. And yes, this I agree - usually, the skaters who possess both edges, speed, jumps and spins are more likely to be above the rest of the pack.
Kovtun was superb - 2 quads + artistry. Loved his toepick flamenco action. Did I read somewhere he worked with Lambiel last summer on this?

Tiffany's 175th Anniversary Tanzanite Jewels for December
By Erika Winters
This year Tiffany & Co. celebrates its 175th anniversary with new collections showcasing rare, colored gemstones that pay tribute to the company's history. Included in Tiffany's Jewels of a Magnificent Legacy collections are statement pieces featuring tanzanite, one of December's birthstones and a gem variety named by Tiffany.
The unique blue-violet colored gems were originally discovered in 1967 by a Masai tribesman in Tanzania's Merelani area near Mount Kilimanjaro. Originally thought to be sapphires, the gems fascinated a prospector who registered claims in the area to unearth more of the vividly colored crystals. As interest grew in this new gem, a transparent blue variety of the species zoisite, top gemologists flocked to the area. And in 1968, the gem had a new name courtesy of Tiffany: "tanzanite."
By introducing tanzanite to the market, Tiffany & Co. promoted the gem's captivating color and allure. The finest tanzanites are an intense blue or violetish-blue, and Tiffany's 175th anniversary jewels showcase them in custom creations.
"The story of how these gemstones were discovered and introduced is truly inspiring," said Jon King, executive vice president of Tiffany & Co. "Our 175th anniversary is the perfect occasion to celebrate our heritage by showcasing these exquisite stones in one-of-a-kind jewels, which so perfectly reflect Tiffany's brilliant design legacy."

Afg 2007 - Scba ?
Looking forward to AFG 2007.
SCBA questions.
Situation- We currently have 25 certified interior firefighters. We bought 8 new MSA SCBAs in 1999 with PASS Alarms and steel tanks (after saving for many years). Recently, our higher ups bought 10 more used packs from a dept. that got new packs through AFG. They are also MSA with composite bottles not sure of age prob. 1997s (bottles 2003 vintage). The masks are not compatible with our current MSAs.
We are considered rural, avg. approx. 250 calls a year total, approx. 20 fire calls.
How do you determine how many packs you can apply for?
Can you make a point that new composite bottles would be lighter than our current steel bottles, and therefore less stressful on our firefighters?
Can you make a point that we would like all our packs to be standardized?
We do not have RIT Packs.
All our interior firefighters do not have their own masks.
Understanding that you dont have all our facts. Is this a project that would make it pass the computers? Or are our SCBAs to new?
Thanks for any input.

# of packs you can apply for is the # of seats on apparatus, minimum 4 per truck per NFPA to meet 2in-2out.
Most definitely make the point about lighter.
Standards are always a good thing.
RIT packs are good to have.
Personal masks are good too.
Past the computer? Coin toss. Under 8 years old doesn't scream need at all. 10-12, getting closer, 13+ definitely a need.
And there's always my thought: if it's your greatest need after performing an assessment, then go for it because anything less of a priority definitely wouldn't have made it. Always go after the highest priority every time.

I forgot how much I enjoy macadamia nuts in cookies. This has to be one of my all time favorite cookies. They don't crisp up but they do have a firm exterior and chewy center. The macadamia nuts give the cookie a delicate buttery flavor along with a crunchy texture that makes them such a delight to consume.
When comparing nuts, ounce for ounce macadamia nuts are one of the most calorie dense nuts, but they do also contain the greatest amount of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat per serving of any nut. This 'good fat' is known to lower LDL 'bad' cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Macadamia nuts do grow on trees but did you know that they are hand-harvested after they fall to the ground? Does this fascinate you as much as it does me? :) The more I learn about food the more I realize that I don't know much when it comes to food! How is it we can spend our lives eating thousands of varieties of food, yet we have no idea where it comes from or how it is grown?!
can frozen or fresh blueberries be used?
Oh Amie sue I can just imagine how delicious these will be. These flavors go so well together. I am so grateful to get this recipe for these beautiful grommet cookies, I completely agree with you when it comes to trying to comprehend all the wonders that surround our food and universe.Father God is infinite in His wisdom and so truly amazing… like you said so brilliantly… the more we learn the less we realize we know. I guess that's what keeps life so interesting! Big hugs and many thanks.
Wow, that is a lot of agave. What else could I use instead? I have sugar issues and I'm afraid that will throw me over the edge. Thanks.
P.S. Love your site. Beautiful pictures and delicious food-you are so talented. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings Amie-Sue,
Those cookies are sooooo delicious! Could not stop eating the batter. Did however get them into the dehydrator! I used coconut nectar instead of agave which is too sweet for me. YUMMY!! Thank you!

welcome! How could i (see my profile) have missed that discussion on beer? Jocko quotes me right as far as i think th only Paulaner enjoyable is the dark double bock beer called Salvator. High voltage stuff, nuffin' for woosies. But there are other double bock beers i like better (although not much), the Löwenbräu Triumphator is fine and my new favourite is the double bock from the Hofbräuhaus brewery (no idea whihc XXXator name it uses), i never liked their stuff but this one i like best. It contains no Farbebier ("colour-beer", dark beer syrup to get the colour as dark as wanted), i can clearly tell that from the taste. Just strong dark beer with a fine taste, not too sweet, not too fat, slender but strong. Almost ideal. There is another bock beer i like best, even better than the Hofbräuhaus double bock. It is only available around Xmas in Bamberg, it is the Xmas bock from Mahrsbräu. This is a bright bock beer tasting like a Pilsener. Just as slender, just the same fine bitter taste. It makes this job better than any Pilsener i ever have drunken. Just after a few glasses, you know this cannot be a Pilsener. Because you are . High voltage stuff with incredible amounts of finest hops, the hops making you more stoned than the alcohol. This Mahrsbräu Xmas bock is meant as an incentive to customers (and priced moderatoely as such). Only a small quantity (1 Sud, one production lot) is brewed, not according to economical principles but massively to quality principles. Only the amount of fluid coming unforced after processing is cooked to malt soup, no additional elusion of malt components takes place. Only the finest flavour hops sorts are used even for the 1st hops dose. The yeast used is fresh but did prove already once it does ferment well. All possible care, skill and knowledge is taken to supervise fermenting, depositing, filtering. Result: a super-strong beer tasting like a ligh Pilsener but having the massive body and detailedness of a heavy top-notch red Bordeaux wine. Not kidding, this beer demonstrates what is possible. It stands out like a lighthouse, quality-wise. Back to Pilseners: I pretty much like Jever, Flensburger, Budweiser, Bitburger, Kitzmann, each for its very special own character. Bitburger and Flensburger being my favourites. You can chase me with most other Pilseners including Warsteiner. I must fervently need a sleeping drink in the hotel with nothing other at hand before i drink Warsteiner. But my real favourites are not beer (except the Mahrsbräu Xmas bock), they are the massive red Bordeaux wines, preferably from the St.Emilion and Margeaux region and also certain Scotch single malt whiskys: Lagavulin, Macallan if i want it mild and complex, Springbanks and Longrow if i want it explosive. Cheers!

We last addressed the matter of Paul Watson, the leader of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ("SSCS"), and INTERPOL back in May, when Watson was arrested in Germany. That arrest was made at the request of Costa Rica, for activity alleged to have occurred over ten years ago, and the arrest did not involve INTERPOL. INTERPOL issued a press release at that time indicating that its denial of a Red Notice was based on a lack of compliance with its constitution and rules.
Now, however, things have changed. INTERPOL has confirmed that it has issued Red Notices in Mr. Watson's name on behalf of both Costa Rica and Japan.
Prior to the second Red Notice being issued, Watson's German attorney, Oliver Wallasch, issued a letter to SSCS. The letter has been publicized and explains the situation form the attorney's perspective.
Obviously, Watson's travel will either be curtailed until the Red Notices are addressed, or he will likely be detained if he attempts to exit or enter any INTERPOL member country while the Notices are outstanding.
Whether Watson decides to formally challenge the Notices remains to be seen.

Grecian Woman Head Necklace
click for more pictures
for item
There is no manufacturing information on this vintage necklace. I always thought the hairstyle looked Grecian, however, it is certainly a matter of personal interpretation. It is approximately 27 1/2 inches in length. The charms measures 7/8 x 1/2 inches. It has a lobster claw clasp. I can't see any wear to the finish. I noticed a couple of brown spots in the photograph, but checked to see what it was, but there was nothing there, so it could be a reflection. I need your zip code to calculate the postage.

Catalogue, arguably the most popular catalog-shopping app, has hit a milestone – by surpassing 150,000 downloads on Android and approaching one million total tablet downloads.
Catalogue by The Find, has more than 150 catalog titles, look books and weekly circulars from more than 75 popular retailers. The free app is available on iOS and Android devices, including the Kindle Fire. Furthermore, the app's newly released version 2.0 for the Kindle Fire adds the ability for users to check items availability in real time at local stores.
"Across all our platforms and nearly one million installs, our average user spends 14 minutes in the app during each session and looks at 5-6 different catalogs," says Ramneek Bhasin, VP & GM of Mobile at TheFind. "In comparison to website shopping metrics, these are incredible numbers that are consistent across the industry. Clearly, the tablet is a new and more immersive type of shopping experience, one that lends itself well what print catalogs do best: help you discover new things you want to buy. The difference is that on a tablet, there are simply more tools to help you get it sooner, and more effortlessly."
Most recently TheFind has partnered with Retailigence, to provide its users local results in order to drive foot traffic into brick-and-mortar stores. Read more about it here.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Many have tried to capture the magic of Nintendo's adored kart racing series and only a handful have succeeded. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing was Sega's first attempt at the genre and it ended up being an approachable and playable title. Not content with being in second place, Sega's follow-up title Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is gearing up to overtake that Italian plumber with ambitious redesigned gameplay and solid multiplayer offerings.
The prominent new feature this time is terrain shifting tracks and transforming vehicles. It's not just your fellow racers you need to watch out for, as the roads crumble beneath you, or rivers runs dry, creating new routes for you to quickly adapt to. Unlike Mario Kart games in which the change of terrain has little impact on driving beyond its speed, All Star Racing features different driving models to help you navigate these constantly changing environments.
Over 20 legendary All-Stars are back. Players also have an option to play as Ralph from the recently released Wreck-It Ralph movies as well as playing as their Mii in the Wii U version or as their avatar on Xbox 360. Each character is equipped with their own unique vehicle that can transform into a car, boat, and plane once they pass through a Transformation Gate. On water, the pace slows and wave physics can be used to knock competitors off their ideal driving line, while the robust flight mechanics rewards players that continuously divebomb with speed boosts.
Each vehicle handles differently and players need to master the ins and outs of each iteration of their vehicle if they wish to take the checkered flag and master multiplayer.
Taking a cue from Jetpack Joyride, race courses are littered with gold coins which can be gambled in a slot machine mini-game during the race loading screen. Strike it lucky and you'll be given a speed boost or some other bonus, hit a bad beat and you'll lose your bet. Fortunately, the game also rewards you with coins for hitting fellow racers with items, and you'll be doing plenty of that.
The usual arsenal of virtual kart racing weaponry makes a welcome return in Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, with Sonic and company able to toss guided missiles, get up close and deliver short-range shockwave attacks or plant giant bees and blowfish across the tracks for opponents to stumble into. When not on the lookout for explosive projectiles and hazardous oversized wildlife, over 25 Sega themed courses also presents plenty of environmental hazards ranging from roving whirlwinds and chomping flying beasts to pillars of lava and awkwardly placed trees.
The last gameplay wrinkle comes from the ability to customize the strengths of your character through mods. In addition to picking a character, players can also select a specific upgrade to increase a vehicle's performance in one of five categories: speed, acceleration, handling, boost and balance. Old rivalries can be settled and new ones created in up to 10 players online. Journey through the All-Stars' world to take on a huge range of modes and challenges, including Grand Prix, Battle arenas and an incredible world tour.
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed has a lot of potential. It's good to see Sega is making an attempt at mixing up the aging formula with more drastic changes.
Sonic and the All-Stars Transformed will be available November 18, 2012 (PS3, X360, Wii U) and December 12, 2012 (Vita,3DS).

About Charcoal Filters
If you cannot use extraction in your kitchen, then you must install a cooker hood that can recirculate and clean the air. To do this, the hood will need a charcoal filter to absorb cooking smells.Charcoal filters are also known as carbon filters. The whole process of filtering works by opening up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms by treating them with oxygen. This allows the charcoal filter to absorb and trap various impurities. This doesn't mean that all impurities will be trapped. Some are let through hence that's why extractor ducting is probably a better solution.

Got this boat for Father's Day. I have had the opportunity to take it out several times. Love it because it fits in my pickup well. I lowered the seat about an inch in the back and it feels much better. I have seen many reviews saying that it works best with a double bladed paddle, I disagree. A good straight shaft paddle and a decent J stroke moves me along just fine.* All you need to do is submit the form above and an email message will be sent to the owner of the ad you are enquiring about.

I work big-city police patrol, night shift, and have been doing so for 25 years. (Or, maybe I am a 13-year-old Cheeto-eater parroting info using Mommy's computer.) I just want to contribute a couple of thoughts to this discussion, to counter the false/mistaken "shoot me" thoughts.
Guys, there is quite often enough ambient light for me to see another person, and for that person to see me, but NOT quite enough light for target identification. THAT is the domain of the weapon-mounted-light! (WML for short) Target ID! Keep in mind, also, that in low light, or reduced visibility, your mind will play tricks on you, as it it tries to identify something that is not clearly visible. Your mind will "photoshop" the image into what you tend to assume that image is, instead of what it might REALLY be.
Secondly, it is not always necessary to stand right in front of a possible adversary to illuminate him. Light can be bounced from ceiling and walls. Light can be momentarily flashed while moving, so that by the time an opponent can fire at where your light WAS, you are not somewhere else. (Remember to move quietly, lest sound betray your actual location!)
Really, the place to learn about fighting with light is NOT the errornet. There is good information, but also bad. Recent information has very much advanced the state of the art, and this information is available, in this thread and elsewhere, but the myths also persist, and the thing about some of the myths is that some of them SEEM to be quite logical and intuitive. Perfectly good folks are perpetuating these myths, because they don't know better.

That is a nice rail I really like the over sized safety. I'd still keep the light in the Mako T-Grip and just replace the rail I have for my Red Dot sight with the added benefit of the over sized safety
The LumaMax is twice the size of a NovTac, less functions lower lumen 100 lumen vs 120 lumen and more expensive. I replacing all my lights with NovTacs. IMO Surefire has gotten over rated and over priced
Abort the Obamanation not the Constitution
Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family

Your right about Surefire for end lights being over priced, but I'm not sure about over rated.
As previous post have said. Don't go too cheap, you don't want parts flying of your gun when you need them the most.
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!

Teen Mom
Lesbian Couple's Adopted Baby Died Under the Care of Birth Parents
Rachel and Heidi McFarland, of Ankeny, Ohio, were horrified when they found out that the four-month-old baby boy, Gabriel, that they'd hoped to adopt — but were legally forced to return to his birth mother — was found dead. The reasoning? It was apparently due to the neglectful behavior of his parents. According to the Daily Mail, baby Gabriel was found unresponsive by his birth mother, Markeya Atkins. The 16-year-old was running errands when she left the infant in the care of her boyfriend — who is also the baby's birth father — Drew James Weehler-Smith. Allegedly, he left the baby alone in the apartment they shared. The McFarlands supported Markeya financially throughout her pregnancy, and even accompanied her to every doctor's appointment and check-up. The couple then took care of baby Gabriel for the first three months of his life, only to have Makeya change her mind in the fourth month and demand him back. In Ohio, a birth mother has three months, plus a probationary 31 days to decide whether to keep her child. To their shock and horror, the couple — who have been married for five years, and together for 18 — learned about Gabriel's death on the evening news. "It's like he's been taken away from you again," Rachel told The Des Moines Register. Not only are they furious about the scrutiny they were put under in order to adopt Gabriel, but over the fact that nobody determined whether it was safe for him to be with his birth mother. As for the birth father, he is in custody and had been charged with neglect of a dependent person. Weehler-Smith could face additional charges after the results of the baby's autopsy are reported. Do you think someone should have determined whether it was safe for the baby to be with his birth parents?

Rose thorns are sharp, hard structures found on the stem of a rose. They have magical proprieties and they are used as an ingredient for Love Potions,[1] though Zygmunt Budge felt potions made with rose thorns were of brief effect and unstable, and preferred to use rose petals instead.[2]
