The End of the World and Soda Bread
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, just place 1 cup of milk in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the milk and let it stand for 10 minutes without doing anything. I know, you'll feel like stirring the milk or something, but just be patient. Those ten minutes are so worth the wait. Trust me. Also, please note that this recipe makes two loaves of soda bread. You can halve the recipe, if desired.
4 cups of APF
2 teaspoons of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 cups of milk
Preheat your oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl.
Slowly pour in the buttermilk. You may not need all 2 cups of the buttermilk (you may have a couple tablespoons left, so just discard any extra). After the buttermilk is poured in, mix with your hands until a dough is formed. DO NOT let the dough rest!
Evenly divide the dough into two (if you halved the recipe, don't divide it at all).
On a floured surface, knead the dough ball for a minute or two until it is somewhat smooth. Form it into a ball making sure that the seam is on the bottom. Repeat this step with the other dough ball.
Place both dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cut a deep cross (not all the way through the dough, just about ¼ way through the dough) on the top of both dough balls using a sharp knife.
Bake for about 34 minutes, until the top is well browned, the center of the cross doesn't give, and when you turn the dough upside down and "knock" on it, it should sound hollow.
Cool for a couple minutes before slicing the bread.
Spread with room temperature butter and jam, and enjoy!

October 2004 | Volume 55, Issue 5
Overrated Eugene O'Neill has been credited by critics and scholars with introducing modernist themes into American drama and rescuing our theater from the claptrap that dominated the commercial stage since before the turn of the twentieth century. When he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1936, his reputation rested on six plays: The Emperor Jones (1920), The Hairy Ape (1922), Desire Under the Elms (1924), The Great God Brown (1926), and, most particularly, Strange Interlude (1928) and Mourning Becomes Electra (1931). But all his so-called new themes are derivative. Echoes of Ibsen and Strindberg are everywhere in his work, debased by O'Neill's tin ear for dialogue. The dialect in The Emperor Jones might have come from a minstrel show. Equally artificial is the tough talk of Yank, the stoker in The Hairy Ape , which ends with one of the most unintentionally humorous scenes in all of serious drama, when Yank is crushed to death in the embrace of a gorilla. Strange Interlude is a nine-act soap opera; Mourning Becomes Electra , O'Neill's version of The Oresteia , set in the aftermath of the American Civil War, is the pseudo-Freudian and melodramatic account of the sordid crimes of a particularly unpleasant family. O'Neill was aware of his shortcomings. Near the end of his life he finally wrote a masterpiece, about his own family this time, the posthumously produced Long Day's Journey Into Night . In it Edmund, the stand-in for O'Neill, is told by his father that he has the makings of a poet. Edmund replies, "The makings of a poet? No, I'm afraid I'm like the guy who's always panhandling for a smoke; he hasn't even got the makings, he's only got the habit." Underrated Like Captain Ahab, many critics lack the low-enjoying power. They prefer tragedies to comedies and are always likely to overpraise plays of high seriousness. But the best American plays written during the twenties and thirties were comedies, plays of low seriousness. I was tempted to nominate as my most underrated playwright George Kelly, of the family that included Walter, Grace, and Jack. Kelly was the author of two comedies, The Show-off and The Torch Bearers , that reveal him to be not only a skillful entertainer but also an astute, often acerbic, social critic. Or I might have chosen George S. Kaufman, who alone ( The Butter and Egg Man ) or in collaboration ( You Can't Take It With You and The Man Who Came to Dinner ) wrote wiseacre comedies that set a new standard for wit in the commercial drama. But I finally settled on John Murray and Alien Boretz, the authors of Room Service , one of the most perfect farces ever written by an American, or by anyone else for that matter. My admiration for Room Service , which ran for 500 performances at the Cort Theater in New York City beginning in May 1937, is for the play, not for the foolish movie version, starring the Marx Brothers, who destroy the energy and necessary logic of the farce by inserting into the action irrelevant vaudeville bits. Room Service takes place in a suite at the White Way, a second-class hotel in Times Square that has a theater on the ground floor. The energetic producer Gordon Miller, a man of great energy and determination but with no money to pay his bills, has to find a way to hold on to his hotel room until he opens a play in the theater downstairs. Assisting him and sharing the room illegally are a whole gallery of eccentrics: his director, Harry Binyon; his gofer, Faker Englund; and, most prominently, Leo Davis, his naive playwright just off the bus from Oswego. Miller's antagonist is Gregory Wagner, the hotel manager, who is determined to evict Miller and friends for nonpayment of rent. There are three comic set pieces in Room Service . In the first act, fearful of being locked out of their room, Miller and his friends put on three or four suits apiece in order to rescue their clothes from confiscation. In the second act Wagner is trying to starve them out. A room-service waiter is bribed with the promise of a part in the forthcoming play to deliver to Miller's room a meal, which the tenants devour ravenously while they audition the waiter.

Re: Help pinpointing a leak
I hadn't considered that there might be another keel boat in there, but given that there is another one right on the other side of it, it seems like they would be way to close together.
I have been in contact the PO before I purchased and I specifically asked him if he had a problem leaving it for extended periods without a bilge pump and a float switch and he said "No." He was the only owner of the boat and had it on the same mooring for 28 years before I purchased her. It did spend eighteen months hauled out from the time he last launched it until I did. Could all that time in the cradle have stressed the keel joint to a point to cause a leak where he didn't see one?

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
East London, the "red belt" of communes north of Paris, and Bologna are the subject of close analysis as localities which have had local governments of the left for many decades, representing "communities of resistance". Simon Parker explores the interplay of "community" and "identity" - using a methodology developed in the previous issue of City (Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 190-202) to study what he terms "structuration". The analysis suggests that at least two dimensions have been crucial in these cases: the degree to which political forces sought to transform identity (strong in Paris and Bologna, weak in London) and the approach adopted to the management of change (essentially defensive in Paris and London, innovative and progressive in Bologna).

It's hard to believe that our wedding was almost a year ago. We had so many diy projects going on at that time, it was just crazy. One of the things that I made was a wedding ring holder from a vintage book for our ceremony.
We wanted something different that would tie in the ceremony site with the reception (the reception was at the Downtown Library rooftop about a mile from the ceremony), and I couldn't find anything that would work. So, I made this. It's very easy, and will take all of ten minutes to complete. Perfect for the busy bride.
Materials: old book, ruler, pencil, xacto knife, ribbon
Instructions: (click images for larger view of step by step)
1. Choose a book that has special meaning to you or your relationship. Or perhaps is the color(s) of your wedding.
2. Turn to almost halfway through your book (a little less than half), and draw a small two inch box center right (toward the outside of the book).
3. Using a straightedge and an xacto knife, follow the guide of your box and begin slicing through along the lines. You will want to press down hard and go over each line over and over, so that you go through as many layers as possible. I would recommend cutting over each line at least six times.
4. Once that is done, you can pop out the paper, revealing your hollowed out box. You may have to repeat step 3 several times to get the desired deepness for your "box". Remember it only has to be as deep as the rings that will be going inside of it.
5. Now slip a ribbon through the cut box (making sure to go through all of the pages that are cut).
6. Slip the rings onto the ribbon and rest them inside your hollowed box. Close book and tie ribbon with a bow.
Note: The last three photos in this post were taken by Jeanne Ciasullo at our wedding last year. All other photos were taken by me.

Sarah commented on July 2nd, 2010 at 6:13 amI know, I know Sarah. Several people have mentioned that on the other sites this tutorial has been posted on. Some people have a problem with it. I don't. It was an old book that I purchased second-hand from a book swap. I am sure it had many years of use before I cut a whole in it, if that makes you feel any better.
That looks really nice Brittni

Wow…my daughter is currently dating a boy that she met through a book. Long story! But it turned out that it is a book that was very special to my now deceased father. Do you think I could ask them to get married so that I can use this idea for the rings? Of course, I am kidding. Love the idea though!

This is such a lovely idea! Thank you for sharing it! I am a little annoyed with the "blasphemy" comments. If someone honestly feels they have a problem with this, they have some issues. Its a very cute idea and there are so many pieces of literature out there that sit on shelves and are never touched again or tossed out, I think this is the total opposite of blasphemy. You are taking a book and making it something special. Kudos, I love it!

Awesome people. Vegetarians. Going mute. Here's a little round up of links from around the Web you may have missed this week:
"Pentecost is God's 'show-and-tell' lesson that after the incarnation no one people has a purchase on the fullness of God. No single denomination, no one race, no one ethnicity, and no one socioeconomic group mediates God's fullness to the world. Diversity is an essential attribute of a Spirit-filled church (Acts 2:8,18)."

Meeting your obligations & finding some opportunities.
Presented by MidAmerica Financial Resources
After you turn 70½, the IRS requires you to withdraw some of the money in your retirement savings accounts each year. These withdrawals are officially called Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).1
While you never have to make withdrawals from a Roth IRA, you must take annual RMDs from traditional, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, pension and profit-sharing plans and 401(k), 403(b) and 457 retirement plans annually past a certain age. If you don't, severe financial penalties await.1
If you are still working as an employee at age 70½, you don't have to take RMDs from a profit-sharing plan, a pension plan, or a 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan. Your initial RMDs from these accounts will only be required after you retire. However, you must take RMDs from these types of accounts if you own 5% or more of a business sponsoring such a retirement plan.2
You must take RMDs from IRAs after you turn 70½ regardless of whether you are still working or not.2
The annual deadline is December 31, right? Yes, with one notable exception. The IRS gives you 15 months instead of 12 to take your first RMD. Your first one must be taken in the calendar year after you turn 70½. So if you turned 70½ in 2011, you can take your initial RMD any time before April 1, 2012. However, if you put off your first RMD until next year you will still need to take your second RMD by December 31, 2012.1
Calculating RMDs can be complicated. You probably have more than one retirement savings account. You may have several. So this gets rather intricate.
- Multiple IRAs. Should you have more than one traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA, the annual RMDs for these accounts must be calculated separately. However … the IRS gives you some leeway about how to withdraw the money. You can withdraw 100% of your total yearly RMD amounts from just one IRA, or you can withdraw equal or unequal portions from each of the IRAs you own.
- 401(k)s and other qualified retirement plans. A separate RMD must be calculated for each qualified retirement plan to which you have contributed. These RMD amounts must be paid out separately from the RMD(s) for your IRA(s).
- Inherited IRAs. The same applies – a separate RMD must be calculated for each inherited IRA you have, and these RMD amounts must be paid out separately from RMD(s) for your other IRA(s).1
This is why you should talk to your financial or tax professional about your RMDs. It is really important to have a qualified professional review all of your retirement accounts to make sure you fulfill your RMD obligation. If you skip an RMD or withdraw less than what you should have, the IRS will find out and hit you with a stiff penalty – you will have to pay 50% of the amount not withdrawn.2
Are RMDs taxable? Yes, the withdrawn amounts are characterized as taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code. Should you be wondering, RMD amounts can't be rolled over into other tax-deferred accounts and excess RMD amounts can't be forwarded to apply toward next year's RMDs. 2
What if you don't need the money? If you are wealthy, you may come to see RMDs as an annual financial nuisance – but the withdrawal amounts may be redirected toward opportunities. While putting the money into a savings account or a CD is the usual route, there are other options with potentially better yields or objectives. That RMD amount could be used to…
- Start a grandchild's education fund.
- Fund a long term care insurance policy.
- Leverage your estate using life insurance.
- Diversify your portfolio through investment into stock market alternatives.
There are all kinds of things you could do with the money. The withdrawn funds could be linked to a new purpose.
So to recap, be vigilant and timely when it comes to calculating and making your RMD. Have a tax or financial professional help you, and have a conversation about the destiny of that money.

They're getting up to a collective century of professional singing, and they exemplify three angles of redefining country: through folk, L.A. rock or Nashville pop. Yet Harris, Ronstadt and Parton harmonize like a true trio in 10 rapturous airs spanning six decades. They could've been swapping these parts since girlhood. And the voices! Still pure--purer than on their solo CDs. On Neil Young's apocalyptic After the Gold Rush or Donagh Long's ultimate love song, You'll Never Be the Sun, they sound like the perfect down-home choir. Thanks, trio, for an angelic encounter.

How subjective beliefs about HIV infection affect life-cycle fertility : evidence from rural Malawi
This paper studies the effect of subjective beliefs about HIV infection on fertility decisions in a context of high HIV prevalence and simulates the impact of different policy interventions, such as HIV testing programs and prevention of mother-to-child transmission, on fertility and child mortality. It develops a model of women's life-cycle, in which women make sequential fertility decisions. Expectations about the life horizon and child survival depend on women's perceived exposure to HIV infection, which is allowed to differ from the actual exposure. In the model, women form beliefs about their HIV status and about their own and their children's survival in future periods. Women update their beliefs with survival to each additional period as well as when their HIV status is revealed by an HIV test. Model parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood with longitudinal data from the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project, which contain family rosters, information on HIV testing, and measures of subjective beliefs about own HIV status. The model successfully fits the fertility patterns in the data, as well as the distribution of reported beliefs about own HIV status. The analysis uses the model to assess the effect of HIV on fertility by simulating behavior in an environment without HIV. The results show that the presence of HIV reduces the average number of births a woman has during her life-cycle by 0.15. The paper also finds that HIV testing can reduce the fertility of infected women, leading to a reduction of child mortality and orphan-hood.

Nintendo on Sunday launched its Wii U console in the U.S., and though it's sold out at most places (good luck finding one without an inflated price tag), that didn't stop Anand Lal Shimpi from Anandtech from carving into his like a Thanksgiving turkey. He got his mitts on the 8GB Basic Set (a higher priced 32GB Deluxe Set is also available) and posted several pictures of what makes the Wii U tick.
To get inside the console, the first thing you have to remove is the CMOS battery door, Shimipi notes in his teardown. Next up are 8 more screws (9 total, including the battery door), a mixture of Philips and Tri-wing, after which you can slide the left side of the Wii U away from the front of the console.
The real geeky stuff takes place when digging down to the motherboard. That's where all the fun parts are located, such as four 4Gb (512MB) Hynix DDR3-1666 modules surrounding the Wii U's MCM (Multi-Chip Module), an IBM PowerPC-based CPU, and other parts. If Shimpi's math is correct, the Wii U boasts 12.8Gb/s of peak memory bandwidth, more than twice that of the original Wii console (5.6GB/s, excluding eDRAM).
Nintendo gave the Wii U its own web browser based on webkit. In Shimpi's testing, pages loaded "quickly and compatibility is surprisingly decent," though its SunSpider benchmark score of 2580.8 was on the high side compared to a sampling of smartphones.

Our friends at iFixIt also posted a Wii U teardown, ultimately giving the console an 8/10 Repairability Score (the higher the score, the easier a product is to service at home). Check it out if you're into this type of stuff.

Category:D programming language
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
This category contains books on the D programming language: an object-oriented, imperative, multi-paradigm system programming language originated as a re-engineering of C++, but even though it is predominantly influenced by that language, it is not a variant of it. D has redesigned some C++ features and has been influenced by concepts used in other programming languages, such as Java, C# and Eiffel.

Woofer Speaker System
Niels Van Veen/Sander Mulder
As you leave the bathroom, you notice music is playing. In the living room, you find two white German shepherds -- without their heads. They issue booming thuds synchronized with the bass notes over the speaker system.
These Woofer Speakers -- pun intended -- function as any other woofer speakers would, except their dog statue design is suited for a hunting lodge, rec room or pop art studio. Each order comes in sets of two in either black or white for $1,479.00 (free shipping to U.S. and Canada). Designed by Sander Mulder, the Woofers are made from polyester and contain 180-watt speakers [source: Generate].

HYDE PARK, N.Y—It was a shock on Friday afternoon to hear, while at Putney School, that President Eisenhower had been taken to the hospital at 1:40 that afternoon. And as I came down for breakfast on Saturday morning in Brattleboro, Vt., where we were staying, I was told that he had been operated on at 2:59 in the morning.
This must have been a shock to his family, and everyone in the country will have great sympathy for the President that he should have this illness on top of his heart attack. There apparently is no connection between the two, but there will be added anxiety for everyone concerned.
When you are President of the United States, your influence reaches throughout the world and so, even a slight indisposition will affect people everywhere. This is indicative of the power that has come to us and the interdependence between the countries of the world. Everyone will be hoping the President has a speedy recovery.
* * *
Friday and Saturday were beautiful sunny days and quite warm, and all of us enjoyed a picnic lunch on the way up to Putney, Vt. The road goes through a mountainous countryside—not very high mountains, but friendly, small ones—heavily wooded, with many streams rushing down beside the road, and every now and then a beautiful lake.
Late as our spring is here, it was even later in Vermont, and lilacs were still blooming and tulips were still out. On the way back we saw some beautiful iris, blue and yellow, clumped together and making a wonderful show.
Someday I hope that we will have clumps of iris of many colors around the cottage here. Last year we had in one part of our garden a profusion of iris, but they all turned a strange brown color, which neither my daughter-in-law nor I liked at all, so they remained unpicked. This year I am afraid we have not got enough, but we have a variety of colors.
My rhubarb has done very well this year, but many of my rose bushes were killed last winter, and none of them have, as yet, come into bloom. By this time of year there usually are a good many out.
* * *
I was glad to see that the House of Representatives in Washington seems to have had a change of heart on foreign aid. Nikolai Bulganin, the Soviet premier, in his latest note asked us to reduce our armed forces in Germany, but I imagine that was one subject that was to have been discussed by the President and Konrad Adeneur, the German Chancellor, on his visit here.
I am doubtful whether the President now will be able to do this, and I wonder who will take over the responsibility of making the policy decision on the reduction of armed forces in Germany. If we could get some bargain on the unification of Germany in return for withdrawing armed forces, there might be a real gain made from the German point of view.

Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, December 22, 2010;
TEHRAN - Thousands of Iranian truck drivers began a second day of strikes Tuesday after a sharp increase in the price of diesel fuel, transportation company officials said, as the Obama administration announced a further tightening of economic sanctions intended to pressure Iran over its nuclear program.
The apparently spontaneous strikes in several cities were the first sign of public discontent since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government raised fuel prices Sunday as part of an elaborate plan to slash state subsidies in the coming weeks.
"At least half of all truck drivers in the country are on strike or not working," said Mohammad Arjmandi, a manager for a Tehran-based transportation company. Those who were working, he said, had raised their fees for transporting goods by nearly 40 percent.
Under the new plan, truck drivers will have to pay more than 20 times as much for diesel fuel, which has been heavily subsidized in Iran and is still extremely cheap by U.S. standards. Truckers can fill up their tanks once during the next month for the old price of $0.06 a gallon. But after that, they will have to pay $1.32 a gallon.
The price of non-diesel fuel is also going up, but less drastically, with a maximum price rise of 60 percent, to about $2.65 a gallon.
Although the government has stockpiled products such as rice, cooking oil and detergents to limit price increases, the strikes could paralyze Iran's distribution system, which would spark a jump in demand - and prices.
"The prices of many items will go up because of this," Arjmandi said.
The sale of diesel fuel has plummeted since the new prices went into effect Sunday. The head of Iran's gas station syndicate, Bijan Haj Mohammad Reza, told the Ayandeh News Web site that almost 73 percent less diesel was being sold.
The government has said that all prices for basic goods will be controlled and that anyone raising prices beyond government parameters will be arrested. Bread prices were officially tripled Tuesday, from 10 cents to 30 cents a loaf, the semiofficial Fars News Agency reported.
"It will be some weeks before people have completely understood what has happened," said Golrokh Amiri, a Tehran homemaker. "But this morning I took my regular shared taxi, whose driver had individually raised prices by 25 percent," she added. " 'Go complain to whoever you want,' he told me. But I still had to pay."
The U.S. Treasury Department, meanwhile, added five companies or institutions and one Iranian businessman to a U.S. blacklist Tuesday, effectively freezing their U.S. assets and barring American companies from doing business with them. All were linked by U.S. officials to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps or to a shipping company used by Iran to smuggle parts for its nuclear facilities and advanced missiles.
The measures were the latest in a series of moves intended to sharpen the economic pain for Tehran ahead of a round of nuclear talks late next month. Obama administration officials say the sanctions are having a cascading effect across multiple sectors of Iran's economy, including petroleum production, capital investment and shipping.
One of the firms added to the blacklist was Moallem Insurance, an Iranian company that provides maritime insurance for the Iranian shipping conglomerate IRISL. The shipping firm has been dropped by major international insurance providers and has defaulted on more than half a billion dollars in loans, Treasury officials said.
"Our policy is to continue to impose pressure on Iran as long as it continues to violate its obligations," said Stuart Levey, Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
Staff writer Joby Warrick in Washington contributed to this report.

We have to admit, the Active Team loves to see product from our world of sport repurposed. (After all, the Outdoor market as a whole is THE leader in setting the benchmark of ethical standards in creating goods.) Even better than reused in its original purpose, is finding an entirely new life for a product. Luckily, we have found a great round up of innovative brands that are breathing fresh life into a variety of traditional active pieces. And of course….we're going to share:
First up, Coach released a fantastic collection repurposing old Baseball mitts into wallets. With only 200 made, they are a covetable item, each handmade from approximately 1.5 baseball mitts per wallet, and all individually unique.
Artist Carolina Fontoura has taken bicycle chains and made them into luxe chandeliers that have a sophisticated, yet incredibly raw appeal. When her work is hanging in a space, it breathes a warmth and industrial appeal at the same time.
Coming from one of our favorite industries, Lindsay Jo Holmes is a skate enthusiast who has found a new life for all of those beat up and broken skateboards. Making them into jewelry, iPhone cases and other accessories, Maple XO has found a niche in the market.
Seeing what these designers can do gets us excited about what else can be thought up, and just proves that recycled can be just as good, if not better than new.

I'm with mtnbkr on this one. You see a lot of deer when riding and they don't seem to spook as much. I haven't had to push em off the trail but I've ridden by em without them giving me much more than a glance.
I had given up hunting when I started riding mountain bikes but I did note the amount of game I would come across. When I resumed hunting I knew I had to figure out a way to do it on my bike. |

AUDIOLAB 8000Q PRE-AMP / PROCESS0R Audiophile boxed + remote control
Baillieston, Glasgow £250.00- Posted
- 643 days ago
excellent CONDITION
Product information
The Audiolab 8000Q Audiophile Pre-amp is a simple, high quality, remote control pre amplifier with a wide range of inputs and outputs, a perfect match for Audiolab's 8000P power amplifier or any other good power amp. Reliable and robust, the 8000Q has been a staple of the 8000 series. Good pre-amplifiers are few and far between in the audiophile world. To be considered such an audiophile pre-amplifier, the 8000Q must provide all of the functionality and control required without imparting any character of its own to the delicate audio signals.
Neutrality is hard to achieve, yet it is neutrality that is the secret of the 8000Qs enduring appeal. All signals are switched with audiophile signal relays and the volume control is a motorised potentiometer. The low impedance line amplifier is a miniature class A power amplifier with current mirror bias - which is also ideal for use with long interconnects to multiple power amplifiers.

OK. I can think of some reasons to grumble about the battles. At times, the frame rate takes a hit due to the sheer amount of carnage going on on-screen, and there are times when it all gets a bit confusing or when you'd like a bit more control of where your comrades are going and what they're doing. All the same, I can't think of another action game that has simulated mass combat this effectively. Vikings and Hel's legions aren't just standing in the background and poking each other politely with spears - they're hacking at each other like their lives depend on it. There's a real sense of weight and momentum to the fighting, and something undeniably thrilling about being at the spearhead of a headlong Viking charge. We're not talking of some weedy battle like the one thrown in at the end of the Golden Compass movie; we're talking Helm's Deep in Peter Jackson's The Two Towers. And if the mano-e-mano fights that cap the major confrontations are a little anti-climactic in comparison to the big boss battles in God of War 1 or 2, the overall experience is still bloody great.
Overall, I'll admit to a little disappointment with how Viking has turned out, but only a little. Let's be clear. For all its blood and guts, Viking isn't as dramatic or magnificent a game as Sony's mighty Greek myth duo, but then they present a fast-paced, pre-scripted, linear chain of encounters, not a world you can explore as you will. Viking is a bit of a slow burner, and it requires a different kind of play. Arguably its biggest fault is that - even with a clearly marked map and plenty of onscreen help - it doesn't always make it clear quite what that play is. Were there a sequel (and I genuinely hope there is) it could do with a little more variety on the objectives front, a spot more in the way of interactive scenery and a few more genuinely impressive beasts to slay (I'm sure Norse mythology runs thick with that sort of thing), but this first instalment remains one of the most engaging and immersive games I've played so far this year. Have a little patience and prepare for an awful lot of blood, and this is one saga you'll be happy to see through right to the end.
Not quite the God of War/Spartan/Crackdown combo we might have hoped for, but still a fine hack-and-slash epic with impressive battles and a magnificent world to explore.

"What about Noah?" Rose asked, "Or even ask Van."
"Of course she hasn't," Alice answered, "She's just a sweet little nekomata." she continued petting the feline demon.
"What about Noah?" Rose asked, "Or even ask Van."
"Of course she hasn't," Alice answered, "She's just a sweet little nekomata." she continued petting the feline demon.
"I guess those would be options." Alistair nodded his head in agreement.
" You spoil her." Jared laughed before trying to sit up.
"Omoi." Kuroki said, flicking her right paw at Jared, and he soon felt gravity increase on his head. "Try not to move; you're still weak." The nekomata said sternly.
"Indeed," Rose answered, "Right now, my aunt is looking after them."
"She's our little baby," Alice joked.
"I still don't quite understand, but I'll stop asking questions now." Ciana said. "I can sense that you're all getting annoyed by my ignorance."
"Well, there's no denying, being you're psychic and all." Camille sighed. "Don't mind us."
My new anime fic!
"I pledge allegiance, to the Flag of the Divided States of America. And to the PACs, for which it stands, one Nation, at odds, divisible, with Liberty and Justice for some."
"Still a cat." Jared laughed.
"It's goo that she can help us." Alistair smiled
"She's still a baby," Alice smiled.
"Yes," Rose replied softly.
"I guess that's true." Jared modded his wad before he stood up. " Actually I'm kind of hungry."
"So then are we alone?" Alistair asked as he walked closer to Rose.
"We are until one of the babies decides to have a feeding," Rose replied softly.
"I am too," Alice answered, "I'm going to have to eat more now anyways."
"Maybe we can make use of time." Alistair smiled at her before kissing her.
"Yeah I'm surprised actually." Jared nodded his head, he was still a bit shocked by the revelation, mostly cause he was pretty sure that they had used a condom. "Can you help me up, my body's still a little sore."
"How so?" Rose asked.
"I'm not allowed to do heavy lifting," Alice frowned, "Sorry."
"Well you know...." Alistair trailed off a bit. "That."
"But I'm skinny." Jared chuckled nervously before he pushed himself on the ground slowly. "Though I guess I should get used to it."
"We don't want anymore babies, Alistair," Rose stated.
"Anything heavier than Kuroki is a no-no," Alice nodded.
Alistair chuckled. "We can use protection."
"But Kuroki's like cotton." Jared looked at the cat.
"But you don't have any on you," Rose frowned, "This also isn't the time or the place."
"Exactly," Alice replied.

Two days after the historic and tragic battle at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, fifty-three men of the Sixth Cavalry escorted a supply train to the regiment's camp at the site of the battle. As the train prepared to cross the partially frozen White River on the route of their march, they were engaged by a force of 300 Indians. Six men earned Medals of Honor in the engagement that followed. Captain John Kerr commanded his troop in action against the Indian force on the north bank of the river, defeating an enemy force that vastly outnumbered his own and preventing the renegade party from entering the sanctuary of the Bad Lands.
John Kerr graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point, Class of 1870

Brother, Can You Spare A Milk Bone?
Marc Joseph
Friday, October 4, 2013
The effort in the recent Colorado floods shows our rescue missions for animals have come a long way since the pet loss disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans where people would not evacuate for fear of leaving their pets. CBS reported that some helicopters rescuing people in the Colorado flooding carried more dogs, cats and fish than people. Rescuers, using zip lines to evacuate people over the enlarged raging rivers, also risked their lives to make sure the animal members of the families were safe. The National Guard took the posture that including the pets in the rescue helped convince reluctant residents to leave their homes. Once the pets were on dry ground, the Red Cross shelters had water bowls, on-site kennels and other supplies so the already anxious evacuees would not have to be separated from their pets.
If we can rally around a disaster to ensure our four legged companions are safe, why can't we do the same in our day in day out regular life? You have an ex-marine in Glennie, MI accused of torturing 5 dogs and 6 horses. In August we had the second largest dog fighting raid in US history affecting 372 dogs in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia. These dogs ranged in age between a few days and 12 years old; and were left to suffer in life-threatening heat with no visible fresh water or food, while some were tethered by chains and cables to cinder blocks and car tires. And then you have an animal control officer in Long Island facing multiple charges because he had 850 snakes in his house and garage. When does our morality of the sacredness of kindness in life kick in?
There are success stories. In Monticello, KY, 80 dogs were rescued from a puppy mill. The Brown County Animal Center, near Cincinnati, was going to have to euthanize 8 dogs at the end of the week, so they started a campaign for adoptions and 10 dogs were adopted in time. But in all reality there are just not enough success stories to brag about.
The fourth quarter of the year is when we celebrate all kinds of holidays that reinforce our commitment to each other. We also should be taking care of the cats and dogs that are not as fortunate to have secure homes. We can help those suffering in Colorado from people to animals. Here is a
that lists many of the agencies and foundations responding to the flood victims. Also,
Global Animal
is taking donations to help rescue animals from the Colorado flooding. And if you actually want to volunteer to help all animals in all cities,
The Humane Society
has a wonderful program to join their animal rescue team where you can help save animals who are the victims of illegal animal cruelty and natural disasters. At
on our
page, we are giving away $5,000 in products to animal shelters, so make sure you nominate your favorite shelter that can use our help.
In 2012 according to Statistic Brain, there were a little over 5,000 animal shelters in the USA. Five million animals entered these shelters and 3.5 million were euthanized. This affected 60% of the dogs and 70% of the cats. Fifteen percent of the dogs and 2% of the cats were returned to their owners. Taxpayers pay $2 Billion annually to round up, house and dispose of homeless animals. Sixty three percent of US homes have a companion animal, which is 70 million homes. All of these numbers are mind boggling. Yet, we only think about these poor victims when there is a flood in Colorado or a dog fighting raid in Alabama. Since the majority of us are pet owners and pet lovers, these blameless animals that need our help every day should be at the top of our minds. Helping to support animals in need is the core of our decency. These innocent animals give us much happiness; let's do everything we can to eliminate their pain and suffering and get them into loving homes.

Totalitarian cyber-culture, Cars from Coventry, Memories of Saul Bellow – a note from the Deputy Editor
T he United States has spawned many millenarian sects, but what makes the internet religion emanating from Silicon Valley – complete with its own prophets, salvific narrative and eschatology – different from all of them is the way it has insinuated itself in our lives. Michael Saler reviews two new books about the internet as force for (mostly) evil, exposing cyber-culture's totalitarian tendencies, messianic pretensions, technological amnesia, "complete indifference to history" and contribution to the growing disparity in wealth and power in Western populations. Even more (so far) than the internet, "the car and truck reshaped everything" – people's lives, the environments in which they lived. Somewhat akin to developments in the virtual realm, though, "many of the changes wrought by cars were embodiments of one fantasy or another". Paul Barker reviews a "richly informative" exploration of the internal combustion engine's impact on England. Coventry was "the Metropolis of Motordom" in the 1930s, and Dagenham became "the Detroit of Europe". Now, Barker writes, "the most flourishing parts of the British economy are huge sheds in truck-filled acres of parking space near a motorway junction, all serviced by online ordering".
This world had its proleptic poet in J. G. Ballard; and it haunts the imaginations of his most talented admirers, such as Will Self and Martin Amis. The latter has "a walk-on part" in Greg Bellow's memoir of his famous father, Saul – but he played a slightly more important one in the great American novelist's dreams, according to our reviewer Clive Sinclair. "A Lady, tall, dark, strongly built, wishes to meet a gentleman going to Socialist colony, with a view to union": this and other personal ads like it graced the radical periodicals of the fin de siècle, a study of which is reviewed by Leah Price. They generated "what theorists of online media call a long tail: niche monthlies or weeklies addressed to a small but loyal following whose subscriptions defined their identities". Sound familiar?

Woman, 77, injured trying to help son being attacked, Corpus Christi police say
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 77-year-old woman was injured while trying to defend her 50-year-old son who was being attacked by two people Saturday night.
Officers were called to the 5800 block of Cain Drive about 11 p.m. The 50-year-old man, who had bruises to his face and arm, told police a man and woman came to the home looking for the man's sister, according to a news release. The son said an argument led to the man punching him to the ground and the woman hitting him with a baton-like stick, according to the release.
When the man's mother tried to stop the attack, she was struck in the chest with the stick, according to the release.
The attackers are described as a 43-year-old white female standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds. The other attacker is described as a white male standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing between 230 and 250 pounds.

Wave Hill Independence Avenue and West 249th Street, 718-549-3200, Riverdale, Bronx Before Wave Hill was a horticultural haven for the public, it was a private 28-acre estate with greenhouses, gardens and a gray stone mansion. Constructed in 1843, the estate was rented by prominent figures, including the family of Theodore Roosevelt, who lived there during the summers of 1870 and 1871. Surrounded by nature, the then-12-year-old Roosevelt, a budding taxidermist who already owned a collection of preserved animals, spent a great deal of time outdoors. It's speculated that summers here may have transformed him: as president, Roosevelt went on to establish five national parks. Today, you can visit Wave Hill weekly from Tuesday through Sunday and walk around the same grounds Roosevelt did. Just across the street (at 5040 Independence Ave.), a young John F. Kennedy called a spacious three-story, 20-room mansion home from 1927 to 1929. The 35th US president also attended prestigious Riverdale Country School (then known as the Riverdale School for Boys) from fifth through seventh grades, where he excelled in geography but floundered in French.
