Maybe it is the catalyst for better relations with Ireland as a whole. I think it is the right thing to do myself. We cannot live in the past. The world would be a better place if all the tribes could get together and shake hands.
In reality it will never happen whilst people worship different Gods. I think the North American Indians had the right idea in worshipping a wooden Totem Pole. They probably got as much sense out of one of those, than could be got from all the religious leaders in the World.

"The times, they are a changin'"
There might appear to be for some, but certainly not for others. Shaking hands or being in the same room, doesn't mean you are friends or carry the goodwill of others.

HRH,because of her position, has shook hands or associated with many a devil,so this will not phase her no matter how disgusted she may feel.
Like Arafat and Peres and Shimon who all recieved the Nobel prize,former terrorists recieving a prize created in name from the man who invented dynamite,the worm always turns.

This word terrorist worries me slightly - particularly in the case of people like McGuinness. In another context people fighting for a political ideal have been known as 'freedom fighters' and I cannot divine a distinction between the two cases. It seems to me that one or the other description is used depending upon how the speaker stands politically. History has shown the Brits quite happily aiding the Afghan 'freedom fighters' when it suited them but now have a different terminology. I'm not condoning for one minute the acts perpetrated by these people and hopefully this magnanimous gesture by HRH will go a long way to helping the Irish situation. Sadly, I somehow doubt it.

So who has done the most to bring peace to Ireland? Probably Martin McGuinness I would think and at a very real risk to himself.

McGuinness is the living proof that terrorism works.
Does anybody really think he would be Ulster's Deputy First minister, or would be meeting the Queen, if it were not for the number of British soldiers and policemen and civilians he has had a hand in killing?

Prejudice had application on both sides. When Brian Faulkner the last premier emerged in fury from another stalemate meeting in Stormont, cameras and reporters were there in force.
I think it was one journalist from the Beeb, who asked Faulkner "What went wrong in there Prime Minister"
The P.M. almost speechless with rage didn't stop but over his shoulder he said "Ask that Demon Priest in there!"

It takes two to need a peace.
The IRA either by design or luck hit HMG where it really hurt when they bombed the Baltic Exchange in 1993. Kill civilians, police or the armed forces and that is the price we were seemingly willing to pay. Damage GB PLC and that is different and the roadway to Good Friday 1997 was drawn.

A proud and integral part of Rutgers University, bringing excellence in education, excellence in research, and excellence in opportunity to northern New Jersey for more than a century.
On Nov. 10, 2015, Rutgers University will begin a year-long celebration of the 250th anniversary of the university's founding as Queens College in 1766. Find out more about what's planned at Rutgers 250. The celebration will include events on all Rutgers campuses.
Rutgers University-Newark is one of four campuses of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, which is the eighth oldest college in the United States and a member of the Association of American Universities. We are one of two Rutgers campuses located, not along the banks of the Raritan, but in northern New Jersey, in a city along the banks of the Passaic River, convenient and accessible to a large fraction of residents of New Jersey. Rutgers-Newark, or R-N, is the older of Rutgers' two Newark campuses. R-N offers affordable, high-quality liberal arts and non-medical professional education, as well as top-level research. Our Rutgers neighbor is the Rutgers Health Sciences campus at Newark, part of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, which came into existence in July 2013.
Rutgers University-Newark's roots date back to 1908, when the New Jersey Law School first opened its doors. That law school, along with four other educational institutions in Newark: Dana College, the Newark Institute of Arts & Sciences, the Seth Boyden School of Business, and the Mercer Beasley School of Law - formed a series of alliances over the years. A final merger in 1936 resulted in the establishment of the University of Newark. A decade later, Rutgers University in Newark was founded when the New Jersey State Legislature voted to make the University of Newark part of Rutgers University. That conglomeration of small institutions is now Rutgers University-Newark, a world-class urban research and teaching institution, with more than 12,000 students and more than 500 faculty.
Since 1997 RU-N has been rated as the most diverse national campus by U.S. News & World Report. Documents show that stretching back to at least 1935, our campus has traditionally served as the place of educational opportunity for first-generation college students, for students whose home languages were not English, for students who commuted to campus to save money, for students who work to stay in college and/or support their families, and to students of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Whether in 1935, in 1955, in 1985 or in 2013, we have been dedicated to excellence in education and to educational opportunity.

This year I started out knowing that I wanted all of the photos to be in black and white. So I set my camera's setting to photograph in high contrast black and white. That way the preview images gave me a good idea of what it would look like. Since I shoot in RAW it captures the full color image. I then processed them in Lightroom to suit my taste.
Additional photos can be found at the following gallery link.
I was in a black and white mood this afternoon.
This past weekend I toured a World War 2 B-17 Flying Fortress bomber and P-51 Mustang at the Westminster airport. Both of these planes are currently on tour around the country as part of the Collings Foundation.
We arrived at the airport just in time to catch the landing of the P-51.
Here are a selection of photos I took this weekend.
This weekend I attend the World War 2 weekend at the Eisenhower Farm in Gettysburg PA. It was a great day to soak up some history and grab some photos of the reenactors and equipment. Here is a small selection of photos from this event. I have all of the photos available at the following link. Eisenhower WW2 Weekend gallery
A selection of photos taken at the reenactment of the Battle of the Bulge from World War II. The location was at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, Pennsylvania. It was nice to photograph this event with snow on the ground.
By all accounts no Russian soldiers participated at the Battle of the Bulge, but it looks like a few crossed enemy lines to give moral support.
I have found that I really enjoy taking portraits of the reenactors at Civil War events. In a way it is similar to taking photos of strangers at Otakon. Everyone that is dressed up at these events expects their photo to be taken. At this most recent event I had some ideas on what I wanted to try. Some of my ideas did not pan out, but a few were very successful.
Here is some strobist information for those that are interested. Most of the time my goal was to shoot the photos either under a tent/shade, or directly into the sun. I used an off camera flash connected via a flash cable. I either shot with a 8″ Lumiquest softbox or with the bare flash. This gave me the opportunity to shoot into the sun to try and capture some nice hair lighting or to provide some nice fill light for the deep shadows caused by the direct sunlight.
Here is a selection of some of my favorite portraits from the Gettysburg 150th reenactment.
A selection of my favorite photos from this event can be found at the following link: Gettysburg 150th. If you are a reenactor in one of my photos, please contact me and I can give you a digital version of the photo.
The week of July 4th, 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. This year I attended 3 of the 4 days of the reenactment to photograph for both my infrared project and also to provide photos for Celebrate Gettysburg magazine. The crowds were estimated to range from 30,000 on Thursday to over 90,000 during the weekend. There were over 10,000 reenactors at the event.
In this post I will show some of my favorite battle photos.
A selection of my favorite photos from this event can be found at the following link: Gettysburg 150th. If you are a reenactor in one of my photos, please contact me and I can give you a digital version of the photo.
Here is a quick preview image from my annual trip to photograph the deer fawns at Shenandoah National Park.

Let it pour
Letters to the editor for March 1, 2014: Rain; force at border; Carlsbad outsourcing; George Will; open carry; WWII; ramps at corners; modern-day health
Hoping for another 'Miracle March'
I've been measuring rainfall since I moved to Encinitas in 1958. Our annual average is about 10 inches (July 1 through June 30), but it varies widely.
The wettest year was 1983 when 34.3 inches fell — including 9.1 inches in March alone. Bob Dale, the TV weatherman, called it "Miracle March," when many big storms came sweeping in from Hawaii. In our driest year, ending June 30, 2002, I measured only 4.65 inches. Now we were headed for a record low — less than 3 inches at end of February. Let's hope for another Miracle March, especially for snow in the Sierras and Rockies.
Ralph "Pete" Peters
Allow agents to determine force
Stop the "coyotes" at the border before they abandon their load in the deserts, or worse, drive on our freeways and kill themselves or maybe even innocent passengers of other vehicles.
I worked I-5 as a firefighter many years ago. I went to a horrific accident with eight fatalities, four serious and four minor injuries — all from one "coyote" driving a pickup.
Let our Border Patrol agents do their job with appropriate force as they determine in the field, not from behind a comfortable desk in an "humanitarian" office.
It reminds me of my tour in Vietnam. "You can't shoot at the enemy until they shoot you first." It's a snafu déjà vu.

Suspicious of switch on outsourcing
The Carlsbad City Council reversed its decision to outsource park maintenance work because it would have saved Carlsbad taxpayer/constituents only $365,000 per year ("Carlsbad reverses on outsourcing parks work," Feb. 26).
Councilman Keith Blackburn justified this reversal by making a specious and unsubstantiated argument that mothers and children would feel more comfortable asking city park workers questions, instead of outside contractor workers. What evidence does he have to support his argument?
The "bottom line" is the City Council caved into pressure from city employee unions, at the expense with what's in the best interests of their taxpaying constituents or the fiscal solvency of Carlsbad.
David Miller
Will misunderstands climate change
George Will ("For liberals, the perfect climate," Op-Ed, Feb. 27) continues to mislead his readers on the facts of climate change. While he constantly writes about climate science, he has no actual knowledge of the subject. He does what he accuses liberals of doing — refusing to to accept unwelcome results because they contradict his political ideology.
Will is upset that "liberal" politicians, like President Obama, are saying the debate is settled.
Will is right on the trivial point that the political debate on climate change is still taking place. But in terms of scientific data and evidence, esteemed physicist Michio Kaku recently said, "Scientifically speaking, it's a settled question."
Will further shows his misunderstanding of the issue when he complains that the term climate change has replaced the phrase global warming. There's an excellent reason for this: It's much more scientifically accurate. Increased greenhouse gas emissions affect more than the temperature; they also influence rainfall and wind patterns.

CNN's Amanpour on the trail of bin Laden
By Marilyn Moss
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – CNN's fascinating
documentary "In the Footsteps of bin Laden" is a biography of
sorts, a bio of a man and of a growing terrorist landscape.
It's information we should have. Reported by Christiane
Amanpour (who better?), the documentary charts bin Laden's
growth as a man and as a radical. Hardly a detail of his life
and life's work is left behind in the fast-moving look at this
elusive man.
Bin Laden's desire to be a holy warrior and to slay the
infidels gets good play here, not only the origins of that
agenda but also the twists and turns it has taken. Born to a
wealthy family, then transforming into a figure of mythic
proportions, bin Laden offers one of the most fascinating tales
of the 20th century. The documentary delves deep into the man's
motivations, religious fervor and radicalism. Interviews with
childhood friends, family members and followers, along with
media and Middle East experts, paint a portrait with much depth
and explanation. As the title suggests, we remain in his
footsteps even as we know him better.

Here is a promotional video Nintendo created to build pre-release hype for the upcoming Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island videogame on the SNES. Unlike some of Nintendo's other promotional videos, I'm not sure if this one was ever officially circulated to Nintendo Power subscribers or not. My brother, who has subscribed to Nintendo Power for upwards of roughly 95% of their entire run, never received this video. The origin of my finding this video actually dates back to a local and now-defunct videogame trading store from back in the mid-90s, a few weeks after the game was released.

In La Union, a pebble-rich town embraces bad weather
LUNA, La Union–Storms generally wreak havoc on lives and property. But this seaside town embraces bad weather because its residents prosper from the colorful pebbles and stones that wash ashore after a storm.
"We are happy here when there is a storm because it would mean more stones," said Diane Orpilla, La Union provincial environment and natural resources officer.
Stone picking is the main industry of the 14 villages of Luna, named not after the moon that gently illuminates the stone beaches at night but after artist Juan Luna.
The Luna stones are sediments borne by Amburayan River as it flows into interior La Union and exits through a delta in Bangar town, said Egbert Abiad, project manager of AMH Philippines Inc., an engineering consultancy firm, which conducted a study of the area.
"But the stones in Amburayan River are all gray and undersized, which are good aggregates. These probably come from Pasuquin River or other rivers up north in Ilocos Norte," Abiad said.
Mary Jane Ortega, ex-mayor of San Fernando City, said there are no rivers or beaches in northern Luzon that are known to be sources of the Luna stones.
"They are metamorphic stones," Abiad said.
But where they change into yellow, blue or green pebbles and stones is still a mystery, Ortega said.
"There must be some kind of long, geologic process" involved in the stones' color transformation, she said.
The accepted theory here is that the stones are "sediments that flow down to the delta from Amburayan River during typhoons of several years back."
Residents are also baffled by how stones seem to assemble themselves according to their colors. The beach has patches of red and blue because of this phenomenon.
Also bewildering to residents is the reaction of stones when they are removed from the beach—they lose luster.
While there appears to be an abundance of stones, over-extraction has hurt villages hit by erosions. The iconic baluarte (watchtower) on the town's shores was split when the ground on which it stood began to weaken, according to the AMH study.

First day at work as Terengganu MB
KUALA TERENGGANU: Controversial figure Datuk Ahmad Said began his first day at work as Mentri Besar at Wisma Darul Iman, at 8am here yesterday.
He entered the state administrative building at 7.50am and was escorted by security personnel and a group of supporters.
There was heavy police presence at the entrance of the building to control Ahmad's supporters who had gathered outside with banners.
Ahmad was greeted by state secretary Datuk Mokhtar Non and other high-ranking officials, and ushered to the 16th floor where the Mentri Besar's office is situated.
However, he seemed reluctant to step into the office, located on a floor where the walls were covered with portraits of Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
Ahmad then led the assemblage to a prayer room to recite the solat hajat to give thanks.
Supporters embraced Ahmad, who has yet to be sworn in, as he made his way out to meet the press at the office foyer.
In one of his first statements in his new role, Ahmad said he intended to continue the good work of his predecessor Idris. He admitted that his feelings were a mixed.
"We are both best of pals. I met Idris in Putrajaya just recently and we spoke as close friends," he said.
Asked about his initial functions, Ahmad said Mokhtar had briefed him on matters related to administration and spearheading development projects.
Ahmad assured the people that all projects set in motion by his predecessor, including the Monsoon Cup, would be continued.
"However, there will be several minor changes," he added, declining to elaborate.
To a question, Ahmad replied that it was difficult not to accept the position of Terengganu Mentri Besar after being selected by the palace.
He was also hopeful that the 22 assemblymen protesting his appointment would "cool down soon" to pave the way for him to appoint his executive councillors.
"I foresee no problems in the new state exco line-up. Time will heal any discontent.
Ahmad then told reporters that he was rushing to a meeting in Putrajaya but when asked if he was going to meet the Prime Minister, he replied: "That's a secret."

Every brewer knows that making good beer requires starting with a good wort, but many new brewers get confused on the best ways to get a good wort. Many new brewers focus exclusively on things like the grain-bill or malting and milling techniques, ignoring the significance and impact that the water. Effective controlling the water is absolutely vital to getting the most out of the grain, and the easiest way to quickly boost the water effectiveness of any mash / lauter system is to use a false bottom.
A false bottom in the mash tun holds the grain above the real bottom while still allowing water to pass through. This dramatically improves the ability of the water to circulate evenly through the grain. An increase in circulation translates into a rise in the overall amount of sugar that can be coaxed from the grain, and a more complete, better tasting beer.
The reason for this improvement is two-fold. The first reason is temperature control. If the mash is too cold, sugar will not be efficiently released from the grain. This can lead to a low alcohol content and watery tasting beer. However, if the temperature is too high excessive tannins and other off-flavors can be released, potentially ruining an otherwise awesome brew. It is much easier to control and adjust the temperature of a mash if the water is flowing easily. This control is helpful in any brew, but is 100% necessary for advanced brewing techniques like multi-rest mashing.
The second reason is that flowing water helps rinse the sugar from the grain. Everything else can be perfect about a mash, but if water is unable to rinse the sugar away from the grain the wort could be left as little more than dark and slightly-sticky grain juice. Without a false bottom, the grain bed sits on the bottom of the kettle. This solid mass doesn't leave any room for the water to flow. This causes the water to create channels to stream through, and can eventually clog altogether. A false bottom helps to alleviate this by elevating the entirety of the grain off the kettle floor, leaving plenty of room for water to move freely.
There are alternatives to a false bottom, such as a kettle screen or a brew sock, that can produce similar results. However, each of these alternatives comes with a slew of drawbacks. A brew sock, for example, is a common early starting point for homebrewers. It keeps all of the grain contained and easily and allows for an easy transition from extract brewing to partial- or full-mash brews. The containment also comes with the cost of restricting water flow to the grain near the core of the ball. Similarly, a kettle screen causes certain parts of the grain to be missed. Though, with a screen this is caused by the water channeling through a limited number of paths of least resistance. Channeling while using a kettle screen can be avoided by batch sparging, but a constant sparge keeps the sugar from resettling in the grain.
All of this boils down a false bottom leading to a dramatic increase in efficiency for the brew. This can really be a game changer for new brewers learning to get the most out of the brewing experience. Not only does it allow the brewer to get higher alcohol content beer using less grain, but it also provides the brewer with greater control of the final product and greater access to advanced techniques. To get really great tasting beer, beer that perfectly matches the imagination of the brewer, the mash / lauter tun should utilize a false bottom.

Preseason games begin with spots to be earned
The Rangers kick off their preseason schedule tonight against the Devils, and seven of the forwards in the lineup tonight are slated to be competing for roster spots. There are, by my count, four open roster spots (3C, 3RW, 4LW, 4RW) in addition to the 13F and 7D spots. In total, that's six roster spots up for grabs for forwards….

What to make of USC's first depth chart for the 2012 season? Here's a position-by-position breakdown:
It's not a huge surprise that Max Wittek and Cody Kessler are still even for the No. 2 job, their names separated by the dreaded "OR." It's a little odd that Lane Kiffin will have "some information" for us regarding the No. 2 spot Tuesday. What will have changed over that time? One possibility to consider: Kiffin won't name a No. 2, despite saying early in training camp that he most definitely would.
A mild surprise to see Curtis McNeal and Silas Redd listed as co-starters. But then, that's not nearly as unwieldy as past seasons, when 4-5 tailbacks would be designated as such. I had guessed a 60-40 split for McNeal and Redd's carries, but perhaps it'll be closer to 50-50. Freshman Jahleel Pinner, listed as the No. 2 fullback behind Soma Vainuku, is among the freshmen on the redshirt bubble, in my view.
The race for the No. 3 job isn't over yet, with De'Von Flournoy and Nelson Agholor listed as co-backups at flanker to Marqise Lee. Both will play, and both have an edge at this point on George Farmer, whose durability remains an issue. I wouldn't read too much into Lee being the flanker and Robert Woods being the split end; they'll move around aplenty.
It's an interesting race for the No. 3 spot between Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick and Junior Pomee. In an ideal world, I'm sure Kiffin would like to redshirt Cope-Fitzpatrick. But the supremely talented Pomee has yet to prove he can be a reliable contributor, and Christian Thomas has struggled with injuries. So Kiffin might not have a choice.
They're listed pretty much the way they lined up for most of training camp. Freshman Max Tuerk is the backup left tackle for now, although his future position has yet to be determined. Redshirt freshman Cyrus Hobbi, who has vacillated between guard and center, seems ensconced at the latter as Khaled Holmes' backup. Freshman Zach Banner seems to be on the redshirt track as the No. 3 right tackle, although those things can change.
The starters are exactly what was expected. The backup assignments are of greater interest. Redshirt freshman Christian Heyward (6-2, 285) isn't a prototypical nose tackle, but he's the No. 2 guy there by default. It's a little surprising to see Greg Townsend Jr. as one of Wes Horton's possible backups, because at one point it appeared Townsend would start opposite Horton. Perhaps Kiffin is hoping "Coach Horton" can be a positive influence on Townsend, who's still feeling his way?>

This is a new kind of battle music i made without any reference. Well, as a matter of fact, I tried to do something that is similar to what Hans Zimmer do when it comes to spiccato or staccato.

Last year i uploaded a song (May 22nd, 2012) to illustrate the events in syria.
So I created a song that is very heavy percussions based, which at that time didn't perfectly match what was really happening out there. I was thinking of what it could become (Libya). Indeed, concerning syria, when i created the song it wasn't a two armies conflict, a song more dramatic with sadness could have done the job.
Nowadays, the music is more likely to fit with the event.

I just made this track using logic pro.
The song is quite dark, the setting want that, this is an underground world, where a group make its way through detritus, metallic doors, etcetera. But there is also enemy. So, reaching a certain point, i tried to add a touch of drama and some percussions. Then the main theme, more jovial, appears, by the whole brass section, still helped by the percussion. Finally the track ends on the same notes as the beginning.
Since i lost the logic project of this one (Shameful), i can't work it anymore, so i decided to upload the bounce files...

KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNS) -- The second major earthquake in less than three weeks spread renewed fears and dented the confidence of people, said Church and charity workers. "The death and devastation may be less, but the psychological impact is very high," Bishop Paul Simick of Nepal told Catholic News Service May 13.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The closer two people are to each other, the more care is required in respecting the other's freedom and feelings, Pope Francis said. Even Jesus knocks at the door of a person's heart awaiting permission to enter, he said May 13 at his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square.
NAMJUNG, Nepal (CNS) -- As the magnitude-7.3 quake hit, screaming and shouting filled the mountain village of Namjung, where approximately 600 people had gathered to collect relief material distributed by Catholic Relief Services on May 12. When the quake ended, people were anxiously looking at dust rising from the nearby villages, with the collapse of houses and other buildings.

Review: Spec Ops: The Line
What is it that defines a game? Is it the characters? Story? Setting? Gameplay? Or a mixture of the lot? In Spec Ops: The Line's case the setting and story takes precedence and it's this that turns another run of the mill shooter into something much more than that.
You take control of Captain Walker – voiced by Nolan North – and his band of merry men, Adams, a heavy gunner and Lugo, the sniper. They're tasked with heading to Dubai and tracking down the US army regiment, the 33rd. The 33rd were sent on a rescue mission until all contact was lost with them and their commander, Konrad. Upon entering Dubai, Walker and his pals quickly learn that something has gone very wrong as the streets are littered with bodies and vigilantes.
The game opens with a adrenaline pumping helicopter shoot-out, you join Walker at the controls of a minigun as you tear down enemy choppers, buildings and anything that gets in your way. After this exchange finishes you're sent back in time where the game picks up the story with your team entering the outskirts of Dubai.
Dubai has been destroyed by a series of momentous sandstorms cutting the city off from the outside world. The city looks fantastic, buildings have been turned to ruins, the streets are littered with wrecked cars, bodies and dead camels. The game will see you battling through the abandoned streets, taking out enemies from the top of skyscrapers and dealing out pain in swanky hotels with aquariums for floors. The sand isn't only for decoration, it can also be used as part of the gamplay, although most of the time it's scripted – shoot windows with sand against them and it'll pour through, taking out anyone who happens to be in the way. Also, as you're playing you may get hit by a sandstorm, leaving your – and the enemies – visibility and movement affected for the duration of the storm.
The gameplay itself is nothing new, any gamer with shooter experience will fit right in. The controls are pretty much what you'd expect them to be, one trigger to aim, the other to shoot. It also features a cover system that isn't quite as streamlined as some other titles out there. You'll stick to surfaces you don't want to, or you won't stick to a surface you want to, leaving you out in the open with lots of angry men bearing down on you. The set pieces are few and far between, leaving the majority of the gameplay revolving around your team entering a section, killing some dudes and moving onto the next area.
Ammo is scarce, swapping weapons with dead foes will become common practice. There's plenty of guns to swap out to, from mini-uzis to RPGs and grenade launchers – most of which have a secondary function that can be activated by hitting up on the d-pad. The enemies themselves are basic grunts, although later in the game you will come across heavily armoured foes that take a lot of shooting to take down. However basic they may be, they're no push over thanks to the brilliant enemy AI – they'll flank you, take cover, flush you out with grenades, lay down covering fire and so on. There's also plenty of nice little touches, such as enemies' hats falling off when you shoot them. Your team-mates AI is decent too, they don't need any hand holding and they'll just get on with it – they saved my life on multiple occasions. There's limited squad interaction, you can call out targets for them to shoot or ask them to chuck in a flashbang.
As you progress through the story you'll be required to make a few decisions, these decisions will determine the way the game plays out and the ending itself. These decisions aren't quite as cut and dry as you might expect – there's no 'Press A to save everyone. Press B to hand out kittens.' For the most part, both options are bad news, you're basically in a no win situation and it's up to you to decide what you think is the lesser of the two evils.
On the multiplayer side, you've got your usual deathmatch modes as well as a few unique objective gametypes. Games are locked to 4v4 which can sometimes feel a bit small, although the nature of the game is to sneak and take cover so for the majority of the time it works fine. There's also heaps of customisation, you can customise your character, load outs, perks and so on. At launch there's no co-op but this is something that is going to be added via free DLC in August.
Spec Ops: The Line is a fantastic game, although this is mainly due to the story and setting. Sand savaged Dubai looks fantastic and the game has the grittiness to go along with it. It runs on the Unreal Engine and does have the occasional texture pop-in that so many Unreal games suffer with but apart from that it looks great. The story will keep you gripped and the decisions have the ability to leave you devastated. It's a shame the gameplay itself couldn't be a bit more unique but it's more than playable and won't retract from the experience.

Damn you fine!
So I'm giving this online thing a try again...I mean I spend a lot of time on my computer for work anyways, so I figure I might as well find a date out of it (right?). My experience thus far has been that a lot of guys online tend to let their inner weirdo come out when they are dealing with women...and basically, this messes it up for a NORMAL guy like me, lol. I've heard that guys are messaging women all kinds of crazy, psycho and perverted stuff on here...which messes it up for me when my "Good afternoon" message is buried beneath 500 "Hey what color are your weekend draws" messages. All I can do is hope and pray that you ladies can screen your inbox for the guys that aren't acting all weird and gaining their "confidence" to send dirty messages from sitting behind a 13 inch monitor. Also, ladies, I know when you get 572 messages a day, its a great opportunity to be very stringent with your dating requirements, which I totally respect. We all have standards, tastes and preferences...but I've seen some ladies that are completely disqualifying dudes before they even step to the plate...i.e. "Don't message me if if your house doesn't have at least 5 bedrooms, if you don't drive a BMW, if you are under 6'4' 1/2, if your breath stink, got one foot, and got a lazy glass eye" Ok...well you gotta have some standards somewhere, but DAMN can I at least get in the game long enough to take 1 shot?? I feel like the internet creates a false reality for many people, but I know there are some good regular, interesting and humorous people (like myself) out there...so thats who I'm hoping to come across. Anyways now that I am done with my internet dating rant I'd like to introduce myself as probably one of the top 3 coolest people you will ever meet (no seriously, just think about it in your head). I don't subscribe to drama or stupidity, so if there is ever a situation where those items come up, I just leave and go home (or just turn off the computer). I really love to travel to new places (and old places too). People always ask me why do you travel all the time…to which my response is, why DONT you? Its just my thing, sorry. I would much rather spend my money on a flight and hotel than a bottle at the club, a new pair of J's, designer shades, 26's or Versace pants lol. I also like to read, workout, learn new things (from vary random topics) and go out and people watch. I believe strongly in self-improvement, and think that everyone should consciously look for ways to make themselves better. I really dislike negativity and people that say they can't do something they have never tried to do, and even more so, people that tell YOU that you can't do something, b/c they are afraid to do it themselves. Don't be scared!!! Live your life!!! Anyways, get at me…I'm not too picky, you just have to be a cool person, and look good, and smell nice, and be kind of funny, and cook everyday, and be able to run fast in high heels, lol ok so I'm a little picky, but aren't we all!

5 things to know after Broncos beat Chargers 28-20
RED ZONE BLUES: The Chargers were inside the Denver 23 three times in their first four possessions and had to settle for field goals of 26 and 40 yards by Nick Novak. Novak was wide left on a 37-yard attempt with 1:38 left before halftime. "Three opportunities, you get six points and they score 28," said Chargers rookie coach Mike McCoy, who was Denver's offensive coordinator the past four seasons. "As you go along that is critical. When you play Peyton you have to get touchdowns. We've just got to do a better job."
O-LINE WOES: The Chargers finished the game without left tackle King Dunlap, who sustained his third concussion this season, and center Nick Hardwick, who had a stinger. Rookie right tackle D.J. Fluker moved to left tackle and Rich Ohrnberger took over at center. Other injuries were to LB Larry English (bicep) and fullback Le'Ron McClain (ankle).

November 7, 2012
LIMA — After 14 months of making phone calls, knocking on doors and speaking to every group of residents he could, Republican Cory Noonan came out ahead in a three-way race for one of two open Allen County commissioner seats. Republican Jay Begg ran unopposed for the other seat.
Noonan and Begg will replace retiring commissioners Dan Reiff and Sam Bassitt.
"It's humbling. You spend 14 months going out door-to-door speaking to voters, thousands of voters," Noonan said. "In football, you practice all week and then you go out and play the game. This way you practice all week and give the voters the opportunity to go out and vote. They hired me and I look forward to being county commissioner here in Allen County."
After years of serving to help get others elected or help those who won elected office, Noonan said it is a whole new world when he saw his own name on the ballot.
"Having your name on the ballot, going out door-to-door and people asking you what your thoughts are, what your plans are, conveying them to them," Noonan said. "When you stand on the doorstep that's where they look you in the eye and ask you the question and you have to provide them with your response, they can see that. They can see who you are. It is a whole different ballgame."
Noonan won the commissioner's seat 26,095 to 16,480 to 2,218 over Connie Miller, a Democrat, and Don Kissick, a Libertarian, respectively.
Miller said she knew it would be an uphill battle but was proud of the effort.
"I think we ran a great campaign. We got our message out," Miller said. "It's a very uphill battle in Allen County. People are very conservative in this area and they tend to vote Republican."
Kissick also said he wasn't surprised by the results.
"Clearly, Cory Noonan ran a very effective campaign. He had strong support," Kissick said. "He had tremendous support countywide. I wish him luck as a county commissioner and hope he represents the constituents to the best of his ability."
Jessica Lescallett, of Lima, said she supported Noonan because Allen County needs a new, young voice in the commissioners office.
"I really like what Cory had to offer. You get somebody younger with new ideas," she said. "He's really good for getting jobs and economic growth. That's what's really important."
In other races, voters in Elida turned down an electricity aggregation issue 536 to 475.
Voters in Harrod, voted 98 to 87 to approve a 5 mill renewal levy for five years. The levy will help fund current operating expenses for the village.
In Spencerville, voters approved a 1.45 mill renewal levy for current operating expenses by a 511 to 303 margin.
Asked for new money, voters in Sugar Creek Township approved a 2 mill additional levy for current expenses by a 336 to 327 margin.


text: The Nanites wiki last edited by NightFang on 05/09/14 05:05PM View full history Basic InformationA nanite is a robot the size of a nanometer or smaller. In the popular Valiant series, Bloodshot has billions of these microscopic machines in his bloodstream. Biomolecular nanotech motors enhance strength, speed and reaction time beyond the limits of a normal human. Due to a nanites ability to create, manipulate and destroy matter on a subatomic level, the true limits of Nanites are unknown.Medical ApplicationsNanites possess the ability to reconnect torn skin, arteries, muscle tissue and nerve fibers; rebuild bone; and repair and reconstruct damaged organs to allow for rapid and complete recovery from extreme traumatic injury. Nano-manipulation of physiological responses allows humans with nanites in their blood stream to survive extended exposure to hostile ond toxic environments, including extremes of heat and cold, high atmospheric pressure, low-oxygen environments and long-term kick of food and water.Military ApplicationsNanite implants expand the range of sensory function, extending hearing into the ultrasonic and sight into the infrared and ultraviolet ranges. The nanites' full control over cellular structures allows Bloodshot to shape-shift or "morph" for limited periods of time.Possible DangersAlthough it is highly unlikely, hostile forces with their own nonotechnology could theoretically hack and reprogram the nanites. Some scientists fear that molecular self-assembly could allow nanites to replicate uncontrollably. The potential for nanites to self-replicate is also the basis for the apocalyptic "Grey Goo" theory. This is the idea that self-replicating nanites mass producing uncontrollably could form an ever-growing wave of "Grey Goo" that would devour all matter on Earth.

WBC Super Middleweight king Carl Froch seems to be ruffling a few feathers as he looks to put American boxing fans on notice about his intentions to clean up the super middleweight division starting with Jermain Taylor. A tabloid U.S. boxing website published a factually incorrect report on Saturday 10th January that the Cobra would be sidelined until June with a rib injury. Froch quickly moved to deny the story stating that he is ready, willing and able to meet mandatory challenger Jermain Taylor as soon as the fight can be signed and sealed.
Purse bids for the bout have been called for Friday week with the two to meet within 90 days of the bid. Now the same website that published the report is rowing back on their initial claims but still taking cheap shots at Froch.
I seem to have upset this Mark Marley guy a bit, said a bemused Froch. Hes stuck another piece on his website calling me every name under the sun. Despite all his bluster he still hasn't managed to explain where he came up with the story that I would be out injured until June..
Ive never heard of this clown before but he says he once met Muhammad Ali or something. Anyway whoever he is it would appear that his website has about as much class as the guy himself. I got a headache just looking at it.
He points to quotes I gave to Ron Lewis in the Times as proof that I was going to be out injured until June. Surely any respected journalist would do a little more research than that before writing a piece. In fact if hed read the entire piece with Ron in the Times hed have known that Ive already started back training for my first defence and expect to be back in the ring in early April.
In fact this week there was even talk of a March 28th date with Taylor and Id have no problem with that either. I just want to get the fight on and prove to the world that Im the best super middleweight out there.

Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos has been activated from the 15-day disabled list. Ramos was placed on the disabled list on April 14 because of a strained left hamstring. He is not starting Monday night's game against Atlanta, because manager Davey Johnson wants to be cautious. Johnson says he is always careful with hamstring injuries. He said he looking forward to Ramos returning to the lineup. Ramos is hitting .300 with two homers and three RBIs in six games. He played two games during an injury rehabilitation assignment with Harrisburg of the Double-A Eastern League. Washington optioned catcher Jhonatan Solano to Syracuse of the Triple-A International League.

Nine years ago today, 19 hijackers commandeered four civilian jetliners in American airspace and perpetrated the worst act of terrorism in American history. None of us who witnessed those terrible events will ever be able to contemplate or discuss them without the emotions natural to every human being who has ever experienced shock or tragedy. I lost no friends or relatives in the 9/11 attacks, nor has anyone of my acquaintance been killed or injured in the wars that ensued in Afghanistan or Iraq. But I feel now, as I felt on September 12, 2001, a sense of loss for an America that I had known for the first 37 years of my life, an America that quite possibly has been lost forever.
"The secret of grand fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, for it was properly done." These are the words of renowned French author, Honore de Balzac in his book, Pere Goriot. While Balzac is often quoted, never were the words so timely as those quoted above. In an astonishingly overlooked article published in the U.K. newspaper, the Guardian in December 2009, the head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime declared that billions of dollars in illicit drug money sustained the global financial system during the zenith of the worldwide recession.
Like most other government programs, the War on Drugs started out small and has grown to immense proportions.
Though it appears obvious that last year's beheading of a Muslim woman in Buffalo, N.Y., was an honor killing, the judge in the case will allow the defendant to present a case that he was domestically abused and lashed back at his wife in self defense. Officially, it's called battered spouse syndrome.''
UPDATE: Three hostages have been rescued from the headquarters of the Discovery Channel and the man who was holding them has been shot by police.

Read chapter one from Bill Clinton: An American Journey.
Arkansas Beginnings
Few American presidents have had so little idea of their family's past as William Jefferson Clinton. On his father's side-well, the many questions that surround his paternity we must defer until later. On his mother's side, however, he had reasonable cause to believe he was a sixth-generation southerner, able to trace his Cassady forebears back through Alabama to South Carolina in the early nineteenth century. Then, in the late nineteenth century, he was told, a certain James Monroe Cassady left Alabama with his wife, Sarah Lou, and his Russell parents-in-law, in a traditional covered wagon. They migrated across the Mississippi River, moving to an area known as the New Hope Community and settling beside Ebenezer Primitive Baptist Church in Bodcaw, Nevada County, Arkansas, a group of extended families numbering perhaps a hundred souls, 110 miles southwest of Little Rock, the state capital. There, in 1886, they built a wooden house, became Arkansans, and began cotton farming.
Whatever had been the motive for the Cassadys' move, however, it did not bring prosperity for the family. Arkansas was, at the end of the nineteenth century, a backward, landlocked state, the twenty-fifth in the Union, some 55,000 square miles in size, bordering the Mississippi on its eastern side and abutting Indian territory on its western frontier. In between, spread out not only across its lowland, delta landscape but up high into its hinterlands, which stretched across the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains to the northwest, the state boasted almost one million people, almost no industry, the worst schools in the nation, and widespread poverty among whites as well as blacks-who, in the wake of slavery and the Civil War, made up more than a fifth of its population.
James Eldridge Cassidy
The Cassady family seemed to go in for presidential names-though none can seriously have imagined that one of their descendants would actually become a U.S. president. William Jefferson Clinton's great-great-grandfather had been baptized with the names George Washington Cassady-though why James Monroe, his eldest son, left Alabama, several years after getting married in 1880, nobody knows. It was on the small cotton farm in Bodcaw, Arkansas, however, that James Monroe's third son, James Eldridge Cassady-William Jefferson Clinton's grandfather-was born on August 19, 1898, the youngest of their five children.
James Eldridge Cassady's childhood was marred by poverty and death. He was orphaned at eight, when his father died of pneumonia on a train trip to the old family home in Alabama. The family farm was sold two years later, in 1906, and, moving with his mother to her widower brother's home, he was thereafter raised by his uncle Bill Russell, alongside Bill's ten children, on whose cotton farm he was expected to work once he left school. This he did at age thirteen, after fifth grade.
