China gets its first aircraft carrier amidst tensions with Japan
China on Tuesday launched its first aircraft carrier, propelling its fast expanding navy's blue-water capability beyond its territorial waters at a time when the neighbourhood is witnessing high-voltage tensions in Sino-Japan ties.
The 60,000 tonne carrier, a former Soviet ship brought from Ukraine and later refurbished locally is named 'Liaoning', after a Chinese province liberated from Japanese occupation in 1945, in what can be seen as another symbolic warning to Tokyo.
China's ties with Japan have plunged over an escalating diplomatic row over disputed islands in the East China Sea, and the country remains embroiled in a number of disputes with countries like the Philippines and Vietnam in the resource-rich South China Sea.
The 300-metre carrier would raise the overall operational strength of the Chinese navy and help China to effectively protect national sovereignty, security and development interests, the defence ministry said in a statement.

The carrier is capable of accommodating 33 fixed wing aircraft, according to the official media in Beijing.
China says it is an experimental carrier and plans to construct three more.
According to earlier reports China will be deploying J-15 fighters, stated to be a home made variant of Russia's Su-33 to operate from the carrier.
The carrier, formerly known as the Soviet ship Varyag, underwent about seven years of refitting efforts to install engines, weapons, as well as a year-long sea trial.
With its commencement China has become the tenth country in the world and the last among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to have an aircraft carrier in active service.

The defence ministry said the vessel will increase China's capacity to defend itself and "cooperate on the high seas in dealing with non-traditional security threats".
The handing over ceremony was overseen by President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao at a naval base in northeast China's city of Dalian. Both the leaders will be retiring by the end of this year.
Hu, who is also chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), endorsed a PLA flag and naming certificate to the naval unit that received the carrier.
The ship will "be of great and far-reaching significance in inspiring patriotism, national spirit and driving national defence technologies," Wen said, according to state-run Xinhua news agency.
"It will also be of great significance in enhancing national defence power and the country's comprehensive strength," Wen said.

"China's development of an aircraft carrier was an important strategic decision made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission," Wen said.
"The delivery and commission of the first carrier is a milestone in the PLA's history and embodies a major achievement of China's weaponry and equipment development, as well as its national defense modernisation," he said.
After the commission ceremony, Hu boarded the Liaoning, which was in full dress, and inspected the Navy's guard of honour.
The two leaders later came to the carrier's flight deck and went around cabins where they interacted with sailors, scientists and engineers who developed the carrier.
According to the CMC, after being commissioned to the Navy, the Liaoning will continue to serve for scientific research purposes as well as military training.

In a separate commentary, Xinhua said the carrier poses no threat to world peace.
The aircraft carrier, 'Liaoning', is a landmark in the country's modernisation of armed forces and national defence and poses no threat to other countries, it said.
The commentary pointed out that China had more than 18,000 km of coastline and three million square km of territorial waters and the carrier was a reasonable choice.
China will not join any arms race, pose a threat to other countries or exceed its national and economic strength to develop arms, it said.
"There is no need of panic about whether China has an aircraft carrier or how many aircraft carriers it will have," the commentary said.

Thread: Spice Girls Threaten To Reform
Spice Girls Threaten To Reform
Spice Girls Threaten To Reform
Spice_11990's horrorshow The Spice Girls (CDs) are planning to reform in 2006 for a 10th anniversary get-together which, according to various insider reports, could leave each member with a staggering £10 million bank bonus.
hecklerspray can't quite decide what's more disturbing. The fact that it's almost been a whole decade since those warbling fools first 'burst' onto the music scene, or the fact that there are actually people out there who still consider this to be a good idea.
Frizzy-haired Mel B (CDs) let the news slip while making a bleary-eyed GMTV appearance. "I think so, but that's just me," she said, responding to a question about reunion rumours. The nightmare is all scheduled to kick off, she added, "hopefully next year, if we can get everything sorted and together."
The scary thing? This isn't just the desperate straw-clutching of a has-been, clinging to insane dreams of former glory. Scary has already spoken to Baby (CDs) and Sporty (CDs) - "they have been to visit me" - and is expecting to have dinner with the emaciated Mrs. Beckham (CDs) and the fat ginger foghorn very soon.
"They are considering playing at the new Wembley Stadium next year", an industry insider frothed. "It would be a dream venue and there's no doubt they would pack it out." hecklerspray has to say that this is a somewhat optimistic prediction. Wasn't the entire Spice Girls fanbase made up of four-year-old girls? Won't they have all graduated to something a little more teenage by now. You know, like getting pregnant or happy-slapping?
A word of advice, though, girls. If this does all go ahead, those names are going to have to change?
Baby Spice? More like Eerily-Childlike Spice.
Posh Spice? Chav Spice is surely a more fitting replacement.
Ginger Spice? Bottle-Dye Spice.
Sporty Spice? Gym-Card-Expired Spice.
Scary Spice? Actually, no ... that's just fine.
And as for Geri Halliwell's (CDs) thoughts on the matter? Erm ... she hasn't given any. She's far too busy waffling about how she has beaten those nasty depression demons and emerged "bursting with self-confidence."
"I feel like the rabbit on the Cadbury's Caramel advert, you know, 'Caaaaaaadburys Caaaaaaaramel,' she moans until you feel she's going to melt all over the banquette," Geri explained. "I feel I've only just developed into a woman and I like it."

I admit I was stuck in the Spice Girls craze when they came out and my friends and I would dress up and have concerts pretending to be them.

sorry, it serves you right for having bad taste back then. Hindsight is all well and good, but you have to be able to see that you will look back on it and regret it at the time."There are only two things that i know are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And im not so sure about the former."

Student Banned From High School Yearbook For Making Funny Face
Filed under: In The News, Weird But True
Fifteen-year-old Charlie Patton of San Antonio, Texas, mugged for her fellow students on picture day to get them to smile just before her own photograph was taken at for the James Madison High School yearbook, reports news station KENS 5.
The photographer hesitated for a minute when she saw Patton's goofy grin, but the teen gave her permission to snap the shutter. Patton's mother was also present for picture day, and gave her daughter the go-ahead.
"The camera girl looked at my mom and said, 'You alright with that, mom?,'" Patton tells the station. "My mom said, 'Sure, of course.'"
School officials were less amused, and yanked Patton's photo from the yearbook. They even compared her facial expression to a gang sign. A statement released to KENS 5 reads: "Since the yearbook represents the school and the students, the goal is to have every student presented in the best light... Students who make inappropriate faces or gestures or who do not follow the school dress code in their yearbook photos are asked to retake their photo free of charge."
Despite the kerfuffle over her silly face, Patton wears the photograph on her school ID around her neck and also has a T-shirt featuring the snapshot, which she also wears to school.
Patton claims she was never offered a chance for a second photograph.
"It's almost like they are deleting me from James Madison High School," she tells KENS 5.

Jason said...What is the exact gang signs? You'd need the proof to say it is definely a gang sign. You don't make sense.
lily said...There was no gang sign and the school is out of line here. I love her photo i think its funny and shows the spirit of this teen. The school needs to get a grip
GARY kLAHR said..."GANG SIGNS" ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMS SCHOOL ADMINS USE. schools try to ban most clothes as "gang related." The Osborn District in Phoenix in 1992 spent $250,000 of tax money trying to expel a preacher's son goody-goody for "gang activities" MERELY for wearing a used $1 Michael Jordan cartoon tee because it had a quarter-sized Bulls logo that the POLICE & PRINCIPAL claimed was a gang symbol---Absurd-;--that logo was on ONE BILLION TV sets in the summer of '92 when Pippin & Jordan played on the U.S. Olympic BB team. STOP FEARING GANGS THIS way---you cannot ban foir good kids everything that gang members ALSO wear or use---think Coca Cola, underwear and automobiles!!!! Schools are giving control to the gangs that way. It is absurd and MUST STOP/ Gary Klahr J..D., Phoenix
M.T said...I think what the girl did was acceptible. Yes, there should be a limit to what they allow in the year book. Meaning, If a student DID gesture a gang sign or display anything innoproriet I agree that they have the right to pull the picture out of the year book. Although, In this case all she did was smile wide! No reason to exclude her picture.
david pearson said...it sure seems funny that we are suppose to be the LAND OF THE FREE and suppose to have FREEDOM OF SPEECH so is it me or has anyone else noticed how controlling our society has gotten.
Cindy said...Charlie, you are a beautiful woman. Don't change for anybody!
This is a copy of my email to Charlie Patton's principal (and I use the term loosely), Hopefully he will be mature enough to wise up and not cause anyone anymore problems. Please tell them how you feel and hopefully they will care.
The way you have treated Charlie Patton is disgusting. Especially having not even given her the chance/choice to have her picture retaken. If I were her and I WAS given the chance to have my picture retaken, I would refuse to grace your yearbook with my likeness. I would be embarrassed and ashamed, at this point, to admit that I attended your school. If this matter was taken to court, you would have the burden of proof. Show me evidence that Charlie's FUNNY, HAPPY SHINING face has ever been displayed by gang members. Of course, now that you have put the idea out there, It could become just that! How about putting YOUR gang like mentality on the shelf and pay to have all the yearbooks redone (If they have already been printed or put the picture in if they have not yet been printed) and let that BEAUTIFUL, HAPPY, WONDERFUL, CHEERFUL face properly, positively, and proudly represent your school.
Cindy age 48
Melissa said...When I was in high school you were allowed to be youself or whoever you wanted others to precieve you to be. Since then there are uniforms and extreme dress code rules and even rules that make students conform to act as if they are a preconcieved mold of their classmates. This makes me wonder if in our near future schools will ban history and social studdies classes from teaching the chapters on free speech. In a world where we have come so far as to have an African American president it sickens me that a little girl entering a large new school trying to be "heard" thru a picture in a yearbook would be censored. Much less the school trying to claim that this child was using a gang sign is obsurd. Not only is it rediculous it is slander and If the student were of any other ethnicity I do not believe that that comment would have ever been associated with the student.
Davey said...You got to be kidding me.I would sue the school over free speech issues.Nothing more than a cute little kid having some fun.Omg what has America come to.If that in any way has anything to do with gang related issues then Im the man in the moon.
ella said...I love her photo, it does not offend anyone. The admins need to remove whatever is sticking up their ass and put her silly photo in the yearbook.
Barbara said...LOL I agree what exactly is the "gang sign" in her picture! I agree it's not the most appealing picture and I don't want to see her mouth open when looking at a picture, but hey the kid was happy and it's her picture. WHO CARES! As long as she isn't wearing inappropriate clothes, showing too much skin, or giving the finger, AND her mom is okay with it then what's the problem. We need to stop raising our children as if they are glass tables and start raising them as granite counter tops. Seriously we are so afraid to hurt our childrens feelings that we are doing more harm then good!
TeachNotPreach said...Thats the problem with today's board of educations in the USA..and why our students are ranking so low compared to their peers globally. The board of education cares not to change out dated boring - meaningless cirriculums, but would rather prefer you look the way they did some 40 years ago! Maybe today's year books should also go back to black and white photo's, I'll bet that would also please them old pompus arse fuddyduddies. Maybe it's time for todays students to begin protesting against their local Board of Education and demand better, no - up date to the class room subjects that will better prepare them to compete after graduation. Your boring them to tears! Advancements in today's technology is much more important for them to learn and keep them interested than appearances in yearbooks!
dcoleman12 said...I have a 3 year old little girl and I hope she has the same spunk! Stand up for your rights. I believe the school administrators need to get a life and deal with the REAL problems.
rosybud22 said...Honestly! My daughter's senior picture was barefooted. All this school control business is completely without any common sense anymore. Where will this stop?
JANDGDEINZER said...YES, HER PICTURE SHOULD COME OUT.....SHE MERELY SHOWING OFF. GIVE HERE ANOTHER CHANCE, BUT THAT'S IT.
Laura said...Thanks to Dobson, so many uptight conservatives, et. al., our kids are told when to breathe, in and out. Kids are often being taught to be perfect little foot soldiers, with little time to develop their own identity and no chance to develop critical thinking skills.
Charlie, authorty figures are to be respected, but not always trusted. Stay true to yourself. You know right from wrong. Never let some judgemental lame brain convince you you're not good enough.
Darren said...Do the school know what a gang sign look like i bet the school allow male students to walk around with there pants sagging and but they would not let a student take a picture with a big smile wow it her pic let people take there pic the way they want be for real
Ken said...Showing teeth is a sign that someone is willing to bite. Everyone in the school should wear a "silence of the lamb" mask to show they don't have aggressive behaviors.
Anyone can spout nonsense, I just did. School policy states that the students have the option to have their pictures taken free of charge. If they did so, she refused to modify her mug, I think the school would be on solid ground. The present situation sounds like a million dollar lawsuit the school would lose. People are being shot because they wear the wrong color shirt. I have no idea how that translates into gang signs, but until it happened, I didn't know the color of a shirt was important in saving your life. In the name of safety, asking her to retake her picture makes sense to me. Have they done so by now?

One would be hard pressed to do any better than the Nikon P223 carbine scope in 3x. It can be had for around 150 dollars including shipping. Nikon has a ballistic program that will match the scope cross hair marks to any load one may wish to shoot. I have been using mine for several months and am extremely pleased. Nikon is a well made scope at a reasonable price.http://www.nikonhunting.com/products/riflescopes/p-223/3x32_BDC_Carbine/8496
Yeah. It looks nice n all but n if I do decide to go with it I can't find the order number or price n all. I think my computer well phone is f****** up . Check it more out later. Thx bro
I have shot loads from 50 grains to 64 grains and have experienced zero problems. I am using the Nikon mounts which I also find to be excellent. Optical quality is excellent.
You can do both in one unit. I have a Bushnell Trophy XLT 1-4X24 30mm tube Illuminated dot in a 4A reticle.http://swfa.com/Bushnell-1-4x24-Trophy-XLT-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P48386.aspx Shop the price. You still have a scope if your battery fails.http://swfa.com/Optisan-1-4x24-Mamba-EAR30-Mount-Combo-P51887.aspx Another possibility but I dont know how good they are.

Measurements of oxygen tension from the canine gastric mucosa under the influence of vasoactive and acid stimulating agents and following vagotomy. Implications on the pathophysiology of peptic ulceration. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 997688 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
By the use of a multiwire platinum electrode mucosal tissue pO2 from the canine gastric antrum is continuously recorded. Injection of norepinephrine causes a short, steep fall of mucosal pO2, naftidrofuryl elevates mucosal pO2 for several minutes in spite of reduced arterial blood pressure, pentagastrin produces a biphasic response, a temporary rise of mucosal pO2 is followed by a longer lasting decrease, vagotomy causes a considerable and more persistent drop of mucosal pO2. These experimental findings are discussed in their possible relations to the clinical problem of ulcer formation and therapy of gastroduodenal bleeding. |

Reward: The First Hero
The story of Alethrion and Amerath, the original creators of the map.
4.82 / 5.00 18,490 ViewsWell I have been working on this all day. I hope you all like it. I searched around and could not find this so I decided to make my own. This is really my first project that I spent more than an hour to do, heck I spent about 7 hours.
Click around, entertain yourself.
STILL ALIVE LYRICS : This was a triumph. I'm making a note here. HUGE SUCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. APERTURE SCIENCE. We do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us. Except the ones who are dead. But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the Science gets done. And you make a neat gun. For the people who are still alive. - - - - - I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though you broke my heart. And killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire. As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you! Now these points of data make a beautiful line. And were out of beta. Were releasing on time. So I'm GLaD. I got burned. Think of all the things we learned for the people who are still alive. Go ahead and leave me. I think I prefer to stay inside. Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Maybe Black Mesa. THAT WAS A JOKE. HAHA. FAT CHANCE. Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist. Look at me still talking when theres Science to do. When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you. I've experiments to run. There is research to be done. On the people who are still alive. And believe me I am still alive. I'm doing Science and I'm still alive. I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive. While you're dying I'll be still alive. And when you're dead I'll be still alive. STILL ALIVE. Still alive.
this is brilliant! if you click the companion cube sign, then you get a cake
this is cool
for somthing creepy rapidly click companiesness like 20 times
oh god rapidly click the cake its creepy its hard to say one thing thats great cus its all grreat

All Rise...Judge David Johnson preferred the Little Golden Book adaptation instead. The ChargeAre you there Satan? It's me, Dave. The CaseDear Satan: Hi. I just watched a movie called Satan's Cannibal Holocaust. I work for a film review site called DVD Verdict. I was assigned this film to watch and then write down my reaction. I'm writing to you to ask one simple question: are you embarrassed at all to have your name associated with crappy horror movies? Yeah, you probably get that a lot. There have been more movies than I can count that either feature you in the title or include your demonic machinations in its plot. And I would hazard that the majority of these productions—by far—have been less than stellar. In fact, I think the only one I like was that Halloween episode of Quantum Leap. That was pretty awesome. Now I'm not fishing for empathy here. You are a supreme douchebag. The casting out of Heaven (which you so deserved), the dispatching of your dark Hellspawn to sew discord among the faithful, the Adam and Eve thing, the way you acted like a jackass to Jesus, taunting him with bread and the never-ending appearances in photos of clouds or building explosions, all of that totals an existence dedicated to pissing people off. So, sure, you're a jerk, but even the foulest of eternal beings don't deserve the reputation besmirching you've endured over the course of the years. Which takes me to the main subject of this latter: Satan's Cannibal Holocaust. Has this one crossed your unholy desk yet? It's a low-budget horror movie about a cult of you-worshippers that kidnaps innocent bystanders, drags them underground, ties them up, then, after disrobing and engaging in unappetizing intercourse, mutilates their victims and devours their flesh. There's a lot of writhing around and misshapen nudity and blood geysers and the folks behind the gore effects certainly put their heart and soul into grossing out as many as people as possible, but, frankly, you can find all of that in similar Z-grade indie horror films, which I'm sure you've viewed ad nauseum, assuming you in fact get nauseous. And what's the deal with your followers? They're always portrayed in these kinds of movies as castoffs from a Cure tribute band. I guess they must just be drugged with your evilness, but talk about a bunch of stiffs. At least they don't mind getting lathered up in red dye and rolling around with their privates exposed. It takes a special kind of minion to get that sticky for their dark lord. Unfortunately, they are thwarted by a tenacious reporter, the protagonist of the story, and whatever malicious vision they had cooked up was lost. I don't want to tell you how to do your job, and I know you've been at this thing for a long, long time, but whoever your Director of Recruitment and Retention is, you need to dump him into the Lake of Fire and post a listing on Monster.com. These clowns can eat fake internal organs with the best of them, but as far as efficiently planning and executing a Satanic cannibal holocaust, they fall far short. So, copious gore effects aside, I ask you, is there anything you find worthwhile about this film? I'll give you the decent array of features (director's commentary, behind-the-scenes feature, gag reel, and a short film) and the 16x9 anamorphic treatment and, yeah, genre of fans of on-screen debauchery and no-frills bloodshed may find limited valued here, but at some point these movies that use your moniker so liberally need to start making sense. Sincerely, Dave Give us your feedback!Did we give Satan's Cannibal Holocaust a fair trial? yes / no Other Reviews You Might Enjoy

Technology has evolved to help us keep in touch electronically during our busy lives with the aid of the internet, social networking websites and of course with the mobile phone. However for most of aging generations, technology is less of a help to communicate as the speed of technological advancements has left the elderly by the way side. The elderly could take advantage of electronic communications but instead have not been able to keep up with the communication revolution. The elderly find new technologies difficult to learn and navigate, the new terminology sounds baffling and they may struggle to understand the concepts of messaging formats. Most old people wont go to lessons to learn how to use computers, or to teach themselves how to use mobile phone and prefer to stick to old fashioned methods of communication. Complete Article

Re LD Beghtol's review of Control, "Ian Curtis Biopic Gets Manchester Right" [October 9]: What this writer fails to see is the elevation of the rock 'n' roll biopic. Obviously, Beghtol is a "hardcore" know-it-all Joy Division fan who either feels that hallowed ground has been trodden upon or is just pissed that someone tackled the romantic yet childlike Curtis, who wasn't equipped to deal with the realities of marriage, child-rearing, and the consequences of pop-star martyrdom (not to mention the added joy of epileptic seizures). For someone who isn't absorbed by the myth of Joy Division/Ian Curtis/New Order, Control came off as sensitive, beautifully shot (real eye candy), and painfully genuine.

COLLIDE Results |
Analysis of the COLLIDE data is nearly complete.
Coefficients of restitution have been computed for
all impacts, including those with poor focus and those where the doors
did not open. The results show much lower coefficients of restitution
(on the order of 5 per cent) than is predicted by extrapolation of fits
to data obtained by other researchers at 1 cm/s with impacts into frosted
and smooth ice spheres (Bridges et al. 1984, Hatzes et al. 1988).
The results of COLLIDE are in:

Daniel Bice, the Journal Sentinel's watchdog columnist, holds politicians and the powerful accountable
Chisholm defends investigator with anti-Walker sign
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm is standing by an investigator working on the two-year John Doe investigation of former and current aides to Gov. Scott Walker even though the staffer has a sign in his front yard that advocates recalling the first-term governor.
The Wauwatosa home of David Budde, chief investigator for Chisholm, also has a pro-union Blue Fist sign in the front door.
Chisholm said in a Monday statement that Budde's wife had placed the sign in their yard about a week ago. The Democratic district attorney said he cannot regulate "the constitutional freedoms of my employees' families in their private lives."
"David Budde did not sign the recall petition and has conducted himself professionally and independently in this investigation, as he has done in numerous criminal investigations throughout his 26-year career as a law enforcement officer," Chisholm said in the statement.
Media Trackers - the conservative group that digs up dirt on liberals and Democrats - first publicized the signs in a report on Monday.
Budde didn't return calls. His wife declined to talk on Monday afternoon.
"I have no comment," said Lynn Budde, the deputy court clerk for Milwaukee County Court Judge Mary Triggiano.
Budde's name appeared in the criminal complaint against Kevin Kavanaugh, a former Walker appointee to the Milwaukee County Veterans Service Board who is accused of embezzling more than $42,000 intended for Operation Freedom, an annual event honoring veterans and their families.
"The John Doe probe has become the central part of a partisan political strategy and it is vital that there be full transparency in this investigation about potential partisan conflicts and biases," said Brian Sikma, a spokesman for Media Trackers.
Chisholm said his office is not being influenced by politics.
"Any decisions related to the John Doe investigation are based on the evidence and not the political views of any member of this office or their families," the DA said in his statement.
Earlier, Media Trackers had issued a report that found 43 employees in Chisholm's office - about one out of six staffers - had signed the recall petition for Walker. It appeared that at least one of the petitions was circulated at Chisholm's offices.
Kent Lovern, chief deputy district attorney, said last week that an internal review found that no resources from the DA's office were used to collect recall signatures. He said one employee did circulate a petition during her unpaid lunch hour. Those signing the document were in the victim witness services' unit.
"It was unpaid time for everyone," Lovern said. He said the petition was circulated in a government building, but he said this did not violate state law.
Lovern had previously said none of the prosecutors overseeing the John Doe probe signed recall papers for Walker. The investigation, which has gone more than two years, has resulted in criminal charges against three ex-Walker aides, a major campaign contributor and Kavanaugh.
Walker has said repeatedly that he does not believe he is a target of the investigation.

Let me define what I mean by realistic: No healthbars. No damage numbers. Physics applied to the actual combat mechanics with respect to effects etc. When will I be able to swing a sword at a creatures arm and sever it dependent on the velocity of the blade, etc.? Is it still a pipe dream at this point , or will I actually see it in my lifetime? MMOs were in a sort of rut for the past 10 years with everything being hot-key based; the action MMO, which is arguably the next evolution of combat, has only recently been a trend although it has been a staple for single player games for quite some time now. Am I alone in wanting my character to be mortally wounded if hit by a tiny arrow in the right place? Would the prospect of everybody being a "one-shot" drive away any potential playerbase, or would this be the norm, in say 30 years from now? I suppose it's a bit of a technical question, since there aren't many engines out there that can simulate physics that keenly without eating up your GPU and CPU alive. Am I alone in wanting the fully immersive experience with respect to combat? |
Originally posted by //\\//\\oo If you want combat that realistic, I'd suggest taking up boxing rather than video games. The great thing about games is that they're NOT realistic. Its because we can do things we normally cant that make games so exciting. I'm not saying you're wrong for your preference, or anything like that, but I honestly wonder how many people that actually say they want something like this, including perma-death, would actually be pleased with it if they got it. |

We're a long.....sigh.....long way off. Im not saying it probably couldnt be done right now. Because it really could. It just seems developers dont want too. Take WoW for example. Thats been out forever. Now this isnt exactly what the OP means, but the game has dodge, parry, and block. Good stuff. How often do you really see that happen in melee combat? The animations are already there. All WoW would have to do is configure it so that dodge, parry, and block happen far more often across all classes and mobs. Hit damage should probably be amped up a bit since it will happen less often perhaps. Or speed it up. The animations are ALREADY THERE. Yet.....its just stupid looking as it is. I hit a creature, he hits me back, I hit him again, he hits me back, then I dodge, then I hit him and he hits me back. I should only get hit 2 or 3 times in a fight and then Im dead. Same for my enemy. The rest of the time we should both be blocking and dodging and parrying regularly. Thats how a fight works. I mean the least devs could do is make it look like real combat is actually happening. It doesnt have to blow my mind. It just needs to look half decent and we're not even there yet. Much less it actually being truly realistic to where if I get hit in the neck with a sword Im dead on the first strike. I guess it might be done one day but we're no where close. Even games that have been out forever like WoW who has the capability to improve combat with animations just occuring more often that are already in the game, just dont do it. So beats me. |
What you describe sounds like Mortal Online a little bit.
I don't know for sure How close it is, as I only played briefly after being begged by friend to try the trial and hating it, but it sounds similar from what they described. Now that game is a pile of poo in my opinion for many other reasons, but try out the trial and see what you think.

I would say the only true way your going to experience true combat on a console/PC any time soon is to repeatedly smash face into your monitor till nose bleeds, then get the monitor to display "you have been owned" as it spins around on its mount laughing. There is no God, there is no Devil, nor Angels and Demons, there is only us, surely thats bad enough, for no creature is able to commit such acts of hate and love, sometimes in the same day. |
Not far. Grab a gun. Go to your local bank and wave it around. Wait for police. Commence realistic combat. |
Originally posted by enoch420 Now you see where you went wrong there, your implying that one should actually get out of chair in front of the PC and go to bank and wave gun around. So not realistic due to fact of having to leave house. There is no God, there is no Devil, nor Angels and Demons, there is only us, surely thats bad enough, for no creature is able to commit such acts of hate and love, sometimes in the same day. |
Very far. Very very very very very far. Anyway even if that kind of games will be created - it will be niche anyway. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido_Blade_(video_game) This is as close as we got. Loved that game. Maybe in the future someone will be able to create a system which can cater to realistic physics, have absolutely NO lag AND have motion capture which works 200% of the time and doesn't make you look stupid in game, also need some sort of feedback device. That was my biggest gripe with motion controls, no feedback sucks when you're imagining swinging a sword into someone's neck. The biggest hurdle is creating around the idea. Sounds good but what is the game around it? In a fighting game the idea is pretty sound. It wouldn't be fun for noobs but who cares about them anyway. Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play? |

Meh. If I would need realistic combat, I can get into martial arts or the military or some other place like that. What I want from a game is a mild intellectual challenge - what ability do I use next, and where do I position myself. Basically I play games for fun. Realism ? I dont care about that. Realism is for reality and its quite boring, to be honest. |
Have you guys never heard of MORTAL ONLINE http://www.mortalonline.com/? It's like a MUCH more realistic version of Darkfall. It does have a health meter, but the combat is all physics based hit detection. There is melee, archery and magic, all real-time and first-person (no 3rd person option) and all can be performed while riding a mount as well! You can even pickpocket other players but if they notice you you are screwed. It has no levels or classes, just skills you get better at as you do them and attributes which are basically there to cap the number of skills you can max so you can be a master of all trades and have to work with other players. It also has one of the most complex and dense crafting systems I've ever seen. It just doesn;t really have a story to it or much context to the world. The game is very small and underfunded sadly so there isn't much to it beyond that, basically a hardcore full-loot open pvp sandbox, but if you ever played a game called "Mount and Blade" and wished for that type of combat in an MMO, there it is (except there's also magic). I was really hoping Zenimax was going to look at this game as a basis for Elder Scrolls Online since with their funding they could take that diamond-in-the-rough and polish it til it was shiny and brilliant...oh well. They screwed that pooch pretty hard. |
I think when a bigger procentage of the population has fiberoptic a real-time combat system will become possible or atleast the big developers do not have an excuse anymore not to implement it. |
Bushido Blade series did a good job with realistic combat. I don't see RPG's and especially MMO's ever considering going that route though. Works great in fighting games though. |

An ambient rock track, with some pretty interesting drums!
I think it sounds like something from a movie or similar x)
Please rate and comment! I get so super duper happy when I see a new comment on my submissions!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Pretty cool song. I really like the melody here. It creates a very nice atmosphere. Too bad I can't listen to this any louder right now, because I think I'm missing out on some very cool background stuff. But I still want to get this review done, heh...
Anyway, I got reminded a bit of Radiohead's "Kid A", while listening to this. While your song isn't as "creepy" in atmosphere, I still think this song would fit nicely on that album.

Thanks man! Getting compared with Radiohead makes me very happy! Thanks :3

03/06/2008 N.Y. police investigate Times Square blast | |||
By The Associated Press NEW YORK — A small bomb caused minor damage to an empty military recruiting station in Times Square early Thursday, shaking guests in hotel rooms high above ''the crossroads of the world.'' Authorities said at a news conference that a witness saw a person on a bicycle wearing a backpack and acting suspiciously, but that no one saw a person place the device in front of the recruiting center. ''If it is something that's directed toward American troops then it's something that's taken very seriously and is pretty unfortunate,'' said Army Capt. Charlie Jaquillard, who is the commander of Army recruiting in Manhattan. He said no one was inside the station, where the Marines, Air Force and Navy also recruit. Witnesses staying at a Marriott hotel four blocks away said they could feel the building shake with the blast. ''I was up on the 44th floor and I could feel it. It was a big bang,'' said Darla Peck, 25, of Portland, Ore. ''It shook the building. I thought it could have been thunder, but I looked down and there was a massive plume of smoke so I knew it was an explosion,'' said Terry Leighton, 48, of London, who was staying on the 21st floor of the Marriott. Members of the police department's bomb squad and fire officials gathered outside the station in the early morning darkness, and police cars and yellow tape blocked drivers -- most of them behind the wheels of taxicabs -- from entering one of the world's busiest crossroads. Police began allowing some traffic through around the start of rush hour. Police said investigators would have to examine the evidence to determine exactly what kind of device was used. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the act ''insults every one of our brave men and women in uniform stationed around the world.'' ''Whoever the coward was that committed this disgraceful act on our city will be found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law,'' said Bloomberg. ''We will not tolerate such attacks.'' Though subway cars passed through the Times Square station without stopping in the early hours of the investigation, normal service was soon restored, with some delays. The recruiting station, located on a traffic island surrounded by Broadway theaters and chain restaurants, has occasionally been the site of anti-war demonstrations, ranging from silent vigils to loud rallies. In October 2005, a group of activists who call themselves the Granny Peace Brigade rallied there against the Iraq war. Eighteen activists, most of them grandmothers with several in their 80s and 90s, were later acquitted of disorderly conduct. Police said it was too early to say if the blast may have been related to two other minor explosions in the city. In October, two small explosive devices were tossed over a fence at the Mexican consulate, shattering three windows but causing no injuries. No threats had been made against the consulate, and no one took responsibility for the explosion, police said. At the time, police said they were investigating whether it was connected to a similar incident at the British consulate on May 5, 2005. In that incident, the explosions took place in the early morning hours, when Britons were going to the polls in an election that returned Prime Minister Tony Blair to power. In both cases, the instruments were fake grenades sometimes sold as novelty items. They were packed with black powder and detonated with fuses, but incapable of causing serious harm, police said. | |||

Years ago I developed a mad crush on Rod Taylor. He starred in the George Pal version of H.G. Wells' THE TIME MACHINE and even dressed in Victorian frippery and with his best front-parlor manners, the man had a rugged hunky kind of good looks and exuded prodigious, delectable amounts of testosterone. When I saw his name in the cast list of WELCOME TO WOOP WOOP, I confess my heart went pitter pat, even knowing that over thirty years had passed since Mr. Taylor traveled time in contraption that looked like a jumped-up easy chair.
The good news is that even though he's predictably paunchier than in days gone by, and sags a bit here and there, he still has a gravitas that makes him a formidable screen presence as Daddy-O, the leader of a commune that's turned its collective back on the rest of the world. And he's still got a wicked twinkle in his eyes. The bad news is, he's in a real stinker of a flick.
The premise here is that a New Yorker on the run from the mob and a girlfriend handcuffed to a corpse ends up in the desolate wastelands of
MAD MAX meets the Japanese classic, WOMAN IN THE DUNES and a happy union it is not. Does it want to be a savage comment on human nature? Suspense thriller? Screwball comedy? Satire? I can't tell and that's not good. The jokes, as such, fall flat and the element of danger is undercut by the lameness of the would-be comedy. But worse, o so much worse, is each and every attempt at social commentary is so heavy handed that one wishes to engage them all in hand to hand combat to the death rather than see abg of them sputter to completion.

Yesterday, Mr Canfora, who was among the nine students wounded on that day, demanded a new investigation into the shootings at Kent State in Ohio, saying it was time to settle conclusively what led the contingent of National Guard troops to open fire on unarmed student protesters.
"There has been a 37-year cover-up at Kent State. The commanding officers have long denied there was a verbal command to fire. They put the blame on the triggermen," Mr Canfora told the Guardian.
He said he wants the FBI to use new technology to analyse the recording. He also said he planned to post an audio clip of the recording on two websites.
Mr Canfora, who was 21 years old at the time of the shootings, was barely 60 metres away from the Guards when they opened fire. He was shot in the wrist.
"They stopped, turned, raised the weapons, began to shoot and continued to shoot for 13 seconds," he said. "It was like a firing squad."
His life was transformed by the events that day. One of his friends was among the dead, and he has devoted much of his time over the last 37 years trying to bring the Ohio National Guard and the federal authorities to account for the killings.
The Guard has always claimed that no order was given to open fire, and there is speculation that the students were cut down after one of the troops panicked, triggering a volley of gunfire.
Although eight guardsmen were indicted, no one was ever prosecuted, and the episode exposed the deep disdain of the Nixon administration for dissenters. The families of the 13 killed and wounded pursued a civil suit against the state governor and the National Guard, which was eventually settled out of court.
The materials from that civil suit were eventually stored in the archives at Yale University, where Mr Canfora recently rediscovered a 30-minute recording of the protest.
The recording was made by a fellow student, Terry Strubbe, who placed an old-fashioned reel-to-reel tape recorder on the window sill of his dorm room, which overlooked the protests. Mr Strubbe, who has declined to speak to reporters, still has the original recording in a bank safety deposit box.
However, a spokesman for Mr Strubbe, Joseph Bendo, told the Guardian yesterday he was unsure whether there were sounds of an order to open fire on the original recording.
"It was never heard on our version of the tape, but maybe nobody ever listened. It's unusual that nobody has heard it before in 37 years. Other people have heard this tape in the past, and maybe they weren't listening for it," he said.
But the power of America's memories of that day are undeniable. Nearly two generations after the shootings at Kent State, it now seems unthinkable that the National Guard could ever use live ammunition against students.
The events of that day were relived endlessly in shocking images of teenagers crouching over the corpses of their fellow students in the US heartland. They also led to protests which radiated across the country, shutting down hundreds of college campuses, and forcing Richard Nixon to decamp Washington for Camp David.

By Wif Stenger, January 2013
Wild foods form a growing export sector for Finland – and the focus of its entry in the world cooking championships, the Bocuse d'Or. Chef Sami Tallberg urges people to fearlessly season their everyday lives with the tastes of the wild.
On a brisk, breezy subzero day at Helsinki's Market Square, wild food chef Sami Tallberg admires a big burbot from the Porvoo Archipelago.
He points to its frosty innards and says: "Who needs foie gras? You can make great paté in the same way from this fat liver."
As Finland's best-known champion of wild food, Tallberg has been urging people to taste off-the-beaten track foods from nature. In books, TV shows and world travels with government ministers, he's been sharing his enthusiasm for nature's powerful superfoods. Rich in flavours, nutrition and colour, these free foods rate highly in any ecological or ethical comparison.
"Whenever possible, I use sustainably harvested wild foods and always try to use as many parts of the plant or animal as possible," says Tallberg. "If there's something that's not available domestically, like shellfish, I prefer to use Nordic stuff to limit the carbon 'foodprint.' I'm a bit idealistic about this."
Tallberg was bitten by the wild-food bug a decade ago while working at a restaurant in London:
"One day this forager, Miles Irving, came in to offer us some sea kale, which is kind of like broccoli, an extremely delicious and noble plant. He kept bringing me other plants and herbs. They were challenging – I didn't know what to do with them at first. He asked me and some other chefs for ideas for his book, and took me foraging in Kent. I began to realise the possibilities of things like wild fennel and watercress. It really broadened my spectrum."
After returning to Finland five years ago, Tallberg began tasting plants, mushrooms, berries, mosses and lichens in the forest. Soon he was replacing parsley with ground elder and Italian arugula with wild yellow rocketcress, and inventing uses for nettles and spruce shoots.
He stresses the importance of carefully identifying everything, recommending the NatureGate website and app, which include clear photos of Finnish species with their names in eight languages. This is especially important with mushrooms, of course.
Teaming up with hunters and fishermen, he began exploring elk, venison, fowl and fish: "Sea pike is so beautiful, clean and versatile. Most people prefer small ones, but the big ones taste great and are easier to bone. You can eat them raw as sashimi or as ceviche with vinegar."
Tallberg has spread the gospel of wild food at Helsinki's prestigious Carelia and Kämp restaurants and in his books: the bilingual Wild Herb Cookbook and Koivunmahlaa & Kaviaaria (Birch Sap and Caviar). He also supplied recipes for another book, Mäti (Roe). In spring 2013 he's on Finland's Top Chef TV show judging wild food dishes.
Tallberg's books are available at the Eat & Joy Farmers' Market in Helsinki, which sells berries, mushrooms and herbs all year round, dried, frozen or in jams, juices and teas. In summer and autumn, traditional Finnish markets sell a wealth of berries and mushrooms, with fish available all year round.
At Finnish markets, you can buy boletus mushrooms, which are popular with Italians, who import them and come to Finland on mushroom-picking trips. Meanwhile wild lingonberries and blueberries – which help prevent cardiovascular disease and yield other health benefits – have proven a hit with visitors from Japan and China.
Finnish wild foods have been boosted by high-profile events such as the Cook it Raw gathering of top chefs, held in Lapland in 2010, and by active support from Minister for Foreign Trade Alexander Stubb, who has taken Tallberg along to showcase wild food in countries all over the world.
"We hope [promotional efforts] will help advance the growing interest in Finnish wild food, sparked by our four distinct seasons that offer very special growing conditions," says Sari Mattila, executive director of the Foundation for the Promotion of Finnish Food Culture.
She's part of the team behind chef Mika Palonen, with a Finnish wild food theme at the world chefs' competition, the Bocuse d'Or in late January 2013 in France. Palonen conjures up dishes featuring deep-fried lichen, lingonberries, juniper, boletus mushrooms – and some wild rose petals donated by Tallberg.
"It's great to see this spreading," says Tallberg. "It's becoming a national movement."

Dr. Herbert Higginbotham

Dr. Herbert Higginbotham | |
Dr. Herbert Higginbotham | |
Appears in | Eve's Asylum, The Cosmos |
First level | Patients are a Virtue |
Related to | December 28, 1937 (age 73) |
Dr. Herbert Higginbotham is the creator curator for The Cosmos in LittleBigPlanet 2.
He is first found in Casa Del Higginbotham in Eve's Asylum, where Sackboy gets shrunk and goes inside of him to destroy the virus put in him by the Negativitron. Strangely though, he still seemed every bit as crazy after the virus was destroyed. He also has dark red horns coming out of his hat, swirly eyes (which are very similar to a certain decoration), and he eats socks and licks eyeballs, all when he still has the Meanie Virus.
Physical appearance
He appears to be a match box with a hat and facial hair. He has matches for teeth, too. He talks in a hippie stereotype or in a philosophic manner. When he is free from the virus one can see his eyes are protractors, and behind his hair there is a ∑ symbol on his ear.
- His costume is earned by acing the last level of The Cosmos, Into The Heart of the Negativitron, which is the game's final boss.
- Herbert Higginbotham is a play on the name William Higinbotham, the creator of the first ever visully graphic video game "Tennis for Two" which was the predecessor to Atari's "Pong", the first household game. William played an important role in the Video Game industry and could be considered the first Video Game Programmer. This explains as to why Dr. Higginbotham has Pong and various other electronic minigames in his levels.
- His charater model does not include his spiral eyes because they are a decoration.
- He is currently the only character to have a moment that's similar to an "Acid Trip" (This being demonstrated during the "The Most Sense You'll Hear All Day" Cutscene), suggesting that the meanie that infected him could have had a chemical similar to LSD or drugs with effects similar to it...
- He is one of two characters that don't make their first appearance in their respective world, the other one being Avalon Centrifuge (As he apears in a cutscene at the begining of the game).

Update: SB 78 "Anti-Biodiversity Bill" passes full Senate
SB 78, the "Anti-Biodiversity Bill" passed the full Michigan Senate on March 5.
It was approved on what appeared to be a strict party-line vote of 26-11.
Notably, Sen. Rebekah Warren took a courageous stand against SB 78 on the Senate Floor, arguing eloquently on behalf of Michigan's history of science-based natural resource management. You can watch her statement here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
She also offered several helpful amendments including language that would have reinstated the original, science-based definition of biodiversity; another to keep original language saying that human activity is the primary cause of biodiversity loss; and a substitute bill that would have ensured humans could access any designated Biodiversity Stewardship Areas — an attempt to address an unfounded concern about "locking up land' often reiterated by the bill's Republican sponsor. All amendments were rejected on what again appeared to be party-line votes.
The fight for biodiversity will next move to the House Natural Resources Committee.
We will alert you when a bill is up for consideration there, but feel free to reach out to House Committee members about this issue now. They are:
