The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

- Flitch Day- Dunmow, Essex, England. (A married couple who can prove to a mock court with a jury of bachelors and maidens, that they have 'not wished themselves unwed,' are awarded a 'flitch' of bacon (half a pig). The origins of this custom are not certain, but references to it go back to 1104. It has been a regular civic event in Dunmow since 1855. Now held every 4 years, and frequently televised.)
- On This Day In …
- 1553 --- After only nine days as the monarch of England, Lady Jane Grey is deposed in favor of her cousin Mary. The 15-year-old Lady Jane, beautiful and intelligent, had only reluctantly agreed to be put on the throne. The decision would result in her execution. Lady Jane Grey was the great-granddaughter of King Henry VII and the cousin of King Edward VI. Lady Jane and Edward were the same age, and they had almost been married in 1549. In May 1553 she was married to Lord Guildford Dudley, the son of John Dudley, the duke of Northumberland. When King Edward fell deathly ill with tuberculosis soon after, Jane's father-in-law, John Dudley persuaded the dying king that Jane, a Protestant, should be chosen the royal successor over Edward's half-sister Mary, a Catholic. On July 6, 1553, Edward died, and four days later Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed queen of England. Lady Jane's ascendance was supported by the Royal Council, but the populace supported Mary, the rightful heir. Two days into Lady Jane's reign, Dudley departed London with an army to suppress Mary's forces, and in his absence the Council declared him a traitor and Mary the queen, ending Jane's nine-day reign. By July 20, most of Dudley's army had deserted him, and he was arrested. The same day, Jane was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Her father-in-law was condemned for high treason, and on August 23 he was executed. On November 13, Jane and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were likewise found guilty of treason and sentenced to death, but because of their youth and relative innocence Mary did not carry out the death sentences. However, in early 1554, Jane's father, Henry Grey, joined Sir Thomas Wyatt in an insurrection against Mary that broke out after her announcement of her intention to marry Philip II of Spain. While suppressing the revolt, Mary decided it was also necessary to eliminate all her political opponents, and on February 7 she signed the death warrants of Jane and her husband. On the morning of February 12, Jane watched her husband being carried away to execution from the window of her cell in the Tower of London, and two hours later she was also executed. As British tradition tells the story, after the 16-year-old girl was beheaded, her executioner held Jane's head aloft and recited the words: "So perish all the queen's enemies! Behold, the head of a traitor!"
- 1799 --- During Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign, a French soldier discovers a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles north of Alexandria. The irregularly shaped stone contained fragments of passages written in three different scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic. The ancient Greek on the Rosetta Stone told archaeologists that it was inscribed by priests honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. More startlingly, the Greek passage announced that the three scripts were all of identical meaning. The artifact thus held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been "dead" for nearly 2,000 years. When Napoleon, an emperor known for his enlightened view of education, art and culture, invaded Egypt in 1798, he took along a group of scholars and told them to seize all important cultural artifacts for France. Pierre Bouchard, one of Napoleon's soldiers, was aware of this order when he found the basalt stone, which was almost four feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, at a fort near Rosetta. When the British defeated Napoleon in 1801, they took possession of the Rosetta Stone. Several scholars, including Englishman Thomas Young made progress with the initial hieroglyphics analysis of the Rosetta Stone. French Egyptologist Jean-Francois Champollion (1790-1832), who had taught himself ancient languages, ultimately cracked the code and deciphered the hieroglyphics using his knowledge of Greek as a guide. Hieroglyphics used pictures to represent objects, sounds and groups of sounds. Once the Rosetta Stone inscriptions were translated, the language and culture of ancient Egypt was suddenly open to scientists as never before. The Rosetta Stone has been housed at the British Museum in London since 1802, except for a brief period during World War I. At that time, museum officials moved it to a separate underground location, along with other irreplaceable items from the museum's collection, to protect it from the threat of bombs.
- 1848 --- At the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, N.Y., a woman's rights convention--the first ever held in the United States--convenes with almost 200 women in attendance. The convention was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, two abolitionists who met at the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. As women, Mott and Stanton were barred from the convention floor, and the common indignation that this aroused in both of them was the impetus for their founding of the women's rights movement in the United States.
- 1909 --- The first unassisted triple play in major-league baseball was made by Cleveland Indians shortstop Neal Ball in a game against Boston.
- 1914 --- Boston began what was called its miracle drive as the Braves went from worst to first in the National League. They won the pennant and the World Series as well.
- 1946 --- Marilyn Monroe acted in her first screen test. She passed it with flying colors and was signed to her first contract with Twentieth Century Fox Studios. The first of her 29 films was Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay!
- 1954 --- "The Fellowship of the Ring," the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic, "The Lord of the Rings," was published.
- 1954 --- Sun Records in Memphis released it's first single (Sun 209) by 19-year-old Elvis Presley, "That's All Right (Mama)" backed with "Blue Moon of Kentucky." Both tracks featured guitarist Scotty Moore and bass player Bill Black.
- 1960 --- Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants became the first pitcher to get a one-hitter in his major-league debut. Marichal allowed just one hit (a double in the eighth inning) as the Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies.
- 1969 --- Apollo 11, with Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins on board, went into orbit around the moon.
- 1979 --- In Nicaragua, the dictatorship of the Somozas was overthrown by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional or FSLN).
- 1980 --- The Summer Olympics began in Moscow with dozens of nations boycotting because of Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.
- 1984 --- Geraldine Ferraro was nominated by the Democratic Party to become the first woman from a major political party to run for the office of U.S. Vice President. Ferraro, age 48, campaigned with presidential hopeful Walter 'Fritz' Mondale of Minnesota. Both lost in a landslide to the GOP ticket of Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
- 1985 --- Christa McAuliffe of New Hampshire was chosen to be the first schoolteacher to ride aboard the space shuttle. McAuliffe and six other crew members died when the Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff.
- 1989 --- 181 out of 293 passengers and crew survived the crash of a United Airlines DC-10. The pilot of Flight 232, bound for Chicago, reported trouble to the Sioux City, Iowa airport half an hour before it slammed into the Sioux City runway. Prepared emergency personnel were credited with helping many to survive the fiery crash.
- 1996 --- The Centennial Olympics opened in Atlanta, Georgia. In the biggest Olympics staged in the 100-year history of the Games, 197 nations marched in the opening ceremonies. Montreal singer Celine Dion sang "The Power of the Dream," written by David Foster, Kenneth (Babyface) Edmonds and Linda Thompson -- and commissioned for the Olympics. Former heavyweight champ and Atlanta native Evander Holyfield carried the Olympic torch into the stadium. Holyfield handed off to American swimmer Janet Evans Evans, who ran up the aisle with the torch and lighted the torch of heavyweight champ Muhammad Ali. (Evans also swam the 800m in the Olympics and was talking with a German TV crew when the infamous Olympic Centennial Park bomb exploded.)
- 2003 --- A 42-year-old Austrian man received the world's first transplanted tongue at Vienna's General Hospital. During the 14-hour surgery, doctors removed a malignant tumor and successfully attached the new tongue.

He is the latest Kapoor scion to step into the film industry and even before his movie Lekar Hum Deewana Dil has hit the screen, Armaan Jain has become the toast of the town. The trailer has got a tremendous response with Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan tweeting about him. The youngster oozes charm, is confidence personified and talks nineteen-to-the-dozen. In a freewheeling interview, Raj Kapoor's grandson talks about his equation with his cousin Ranbir Kapoor, his earliest childhood memories and his dream coming true..
Now that your film is on the verge of releasing, what are your feelings?
I am very excited, and equally nervous because it's finally the D day. There is a mixed feeling, which I call positive anxiety!
Do you feel the pressure of carrying on a legacy?
I have never thought of it that way, rather I have a self-imposed pressure of bettering myself. You have two kinds of pressure, one is about carrying the legacy and the other is the pressure of personal journey. For me it is about proving to myself than anyone else first. I am self-critical and after every shoot, I think how I could have done it better. Till this point, one has given his best and the rest I leave it to destiny.
Like your cousin Ranbir Kapoor you also started by being an assistant to a director before facing the camera. Are you following in his footsteps?
The reason I started out as an assistant director, however funny it may sound, is because I had a non-filmi childhood! I had never been to shoots, screenings or premieres. I had no idea how films were shot. I just knew I want to act and entertain people. When I was a 16-17-year-old, I wanted to be an actor. My father is an investment banker, so initially I went to England to do a business course but after a year-and-a-half realised that I was wasting my time and his (father's) money. I would rather try and understand the craft (acting), which I wanted to pursue, so I came back.
What was your parents' reaction?
They were extremely supportive provided I am ambitious and work hard. My mother was a little taken aback because for 20 years there was no film talk at home. She was like, what do you want to do, are you sure, where do I send you? She actually cried. She was close to her father (Raj Kapoor) and had spent 32 years of her life with him. She told me I need to learn how films are made. There was no place so I went back to college. One day she called me and said 'I have good news. Karan (Johar) is willing to meet you for an interview.' I went to him - it was like joining a company for internship. I'm a practical learner and pick up faster that way. Ranbir, on the other hand, had done a two-year acting course in New York and then assisted (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) on Black.
What are your earliest childhood memories?
It's a misconception that if it is a film family, we all talk about films or acting, and our masti revolves around it. We are normal people, our talk and clothes are normal but yes the food in Kapoor family is extraordinary! We love food, are a bit noisy and loud. Most of the family get-togethers happen in nani's house in Chembur or my house. When I was born, Karisma was already acting. We got together for my birthday parties and whenever everybody got time. Family get-togethers are fun because my uncles and my mother are screaming and fighting with each other, of course out of love. Ranbir and I talk about football and play FIFA at play stations. I have a different bond with everyone. But we never talk about our careers. There is a lot of noise pollution, food pollution and masti!
Karisma came with you on Comedy Nights With Kapil. Which cousin are you closest to?
I have spent the most time with Nitasha (Nanda), who lives in Delhi. She spoilt and pampered me a lot. There is a huge age difference between us - almost 20 years - and she has no kids. We are like her children.
Are you the most pampered of the lot as we can see all of them rooting for you..
We are a close-knit family, and it has always been like this. You are probably seeing it now. When Ranbir was acting in his college plays, we all used to go to watch him. When I was 10 years old, I did a school play and each and every one was there to cheer me. It feels special. Everyone is pampered in a different way. Nani is the eldest and she pampers everyone equally.
How was your experience working on Student Of The Year (SOTY)?
I did three films - Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, My Name Is Khan and SOTY. I remember on the first day of the shoot, I was completely lost. I did not understand what was happening. I tried concentrating on camera angles, how a scene is shot and directed, the lighting, costumes, what actors do etc, and got a working knowledge on every department. By the time SOTY happened I had gained a little experience and even shot a few short films and home videos. That gave me a hang of editing too. It gave me a clearer picture of direction - why directors are so precise, saving money and time.
Did you interact with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol during the shoot of My Name Is Khan?
No, I never got the opportunity because at that time, I was rarely on the sets. I was running around doing other things. When you are interning you have to get a cd, go here, there etc.
How was it shooting for Lekar Hum Deewna Dil?
It's been amazing, a dream come true. I was finally facing a camera. I was nervous and super-excited. I never felt at any point that I had acted. Even today I don't feel it. My job is not done till July 4 (when the film releases) and it's been two years. There have been points where I became emotional and cried, but not on the first day. After 20 days of shooting, it hit me that I am doing this. Professionally, it's been great and personally, I have grown up as an individual. I met so many different people, it was very humbling, especially the experience in Chhatisgarh.
What happened?
You know Americans have this misconception that India and Pakistan are poor and dangerous places. Similarly, we think Chhatisgarh is a Naxalite afftected place and therefore dangerous. But when I went there for the shoot, I saw it differently. It was fascinating to see people there - so hospitable and welcoming. There's freshness in the air and I got a good sleep. I was happy meeting the villagers, but saddened to see the way they live. They are so happy with so little. We were there only for a week, but I wanted to be there for 20 days. When we needed continuity in the scene, they needed to travel to Mumbai. It was for the song Mawali kawali. Those people have no electricity, mobiles and aren't exposed to anything. They have never been to a city or travelled by train. They wear those typical lungis. They use razors made of wood. There are some elements in the film too. There's a dialogue Humein na US America, Europe sabka sab pata hai lekin apni country ka na no idea, which is very true. Being around them was humbling.
The film is also about your coming-of-age. Do you identify with the role?
I was probably like that when I was 17-18 years old. My character is full of adventure, thrill, crazy and energetic. He does things without thinking which can often be a problem. I was more immature then. But in the last few years I have grown up.
Who are you inspired by?
I am inspired more by characters in a film like Heath Ledger in Dark Knight Rises. It is unbelievable the kind of work he put into the character's shoes. Unfortunately, he passed away due to drug overdose, but his best scenes are improvised and not planned. Even Marlon Brando in Godfather, especially the cat scene. There was no cat. But he saw a cat lying somewhere and he took it into the scene. Christian Bale puts on 40 kilos for a role and sheds it for another! It's inspiring. My role model, however, is my father. He is not an actor but I hope to inculcate at least half his discipline in my life.
The title of your film is inspired from your aunt, Neetu Singh's song from Yaadon Ki Baraat. Was it deliberate?
It was Karan sir who came up with the title just a week before the trailer launch. We were sitting in his office and discussing. We had other titles like Locha.com, Dekho Magar Pyaar Se, Janam Janam but we weren't happy. And just like that Karan sir said Lekar Hum Deewana Dil. My producer then spoke to my aunt and when she met me she was emotional. That was her first song and she was just 14-years old when she shot for it.
Your mother (Reema Jain) is media-shy right?
No, she goes for events, but yes was a little camera shy before she went on Koffee With Karan. She is a vibrant lady, full of energy, and a very good actor, she acts more than any family member!
A lot of newcomers like Tiger Shroff have entered the industry and are doing well. What is your take on competition?
I look up to all of them for their performances, dances and the way they have worked on their physique. It's a healthy competition. There are thousand fishes in the sea, I am sure there will be all genres of films and hope we all grow.
What are your expectations from Lekar Hum Deewana Dil?
I haven't thought about it. We have made the film with a lot of energy happiness and conviction. I hope people will experience at least 50 per cent of the fun we have had in making it.
Rapid fire with Armaan
If you were invisible for a day and could do something naughty what would you do?
I would steal Mc Donalds or something.
On a deserted island which book would you take, which movie would you watch and who would you take along?
I will take the book Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to read, watch Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and probably take my brother.
If you could marry a cartoon character who would it be and why?
The smallest Powerpuff girl in pink because she is pretty.
What did you most get into trouble for when you were younger?
I used to get into trouble for many things. I have thrown ash trays out of the window and mom has put me in the dark bathroom. I broke a fan in the class room when I kicked a football.
Which has been your most embarrassing moment?
When somebody told me 'stop talking you are verbal diarrhoea'.
Which is the one thing that disgusts you?
Which movie title would best depict your life story?
Dark Knight Rises.
What do you enjoy doing doing most alone?
Who is the first person you think of when you get up in the morning?
If you were to spend a night with a celebrity, who would it be?
No one.
What's the biggest lie you have ever told?
I told this aunty that I have fallen from the first floor, injured my leg and badly hurt. She called my mom and I immediately informed her it was a joke.
One habit of yours no one knows about?
I don't wear underwear when I sleep.
If you had to dress like a cartoon character, who would it be?
What is the weirdest / funniest dream you have ever had?
I don't dream, but I have had horror dreams where I am getting choked or that I am grinding my teeth so hard they come off.
What is the most irritating habit of your co-star Deekhsa Seth?
She has several, but the most irritating habit is the one where she keeps making this weird noise.
What was the meanest / nastiest joke you ever played on anyone?
I have played many of them. The meanest one I played was one on the school teacher. I applied Fevistick on the chair and the teacher got stuck to it. After an hour or something when he got up, he ripped his pants.
What is the best thing about being a guy?
We don't suffer as much as women – the pregnancy. I can't imagine carrying a child for nine months and the subsequent pain. Women go through a lot of pain. They get their eyebrows plucked, get waxed, etc. I am not being a sexist here!
What is the worst thing about being a guy?
Shaving every day.
What is the craziest / dumbest pickup line that you have ever used?
I never use a pick up line. I find it crass.
Do you do dance crazy when no one is looking?
I dance like crazy when people are looking.
Do you like to sing in the shower?
I have never sung in my life, I have no inhibitions, but don't sing normally.
If you were gay which actor would you like to have a passionate affair with?
I am forcing myself to visualise this dream boy without clothes. Hrithik Roshan!

HILLSBORO, Ore. -- There are so many things in life we can't see. We just can't get up close enough.
A new movie by National Geographic is out to solve the Mysteries of the Unseen World .
Things we can't see with the human eye. The movie got made with the help of microscope maker FEI with headquarters in Hillsboro.
FEI's microscopes can magnify images 40, 50-even up to 1 million times. The microscope took individual images that were then colorized.
It's that technology National Geographic wanted to tell the story of everyday things in our life, things that are too small, too slow, too fast or invisible.
We want people to understand what we do and why it's useful at the high school level and at the middle school level. It was a natural partnership between us and National Geographic because they have the same goal, said John Williams, Vice President of Corporate & Strategic Marketing. That's the real purpose of the film.
The Mysteries of the Unseen World is now being shown at OMSI's new redesigned IMAX theater in 3D and 4K, four times the resolution of HDTV.

This is the first time that the conference will be held in Cebu City.
Gesta said this should provide opportunities for our businessmen and government partners to also showcase what Cebu could offer in terms of trade partnerships and successful projects that the business organization has done in partnership with the local government.
"The theme for next year's Conference will be 'Asia Pacific: Catalyst to Global Recovery'. Delegates will discuss how businessmen in the region can work closely together—and in cooperation with government—to sustain economic development, grasp common opportunities, and manage shared risks and problems amid current uncertainties in the world market, while playing a substantial, constructive and catalytic role in global economic growth," Gesta said.
According to Gesta they invited experts who would talk about relevant issues in the global economy that would impact on the individual economy of each participating countries.
Topics include The Euro Debt Crisis and Its Implications for Asian Business, Sustainable Energy Resources and Food Security, The Impact of Bilateral Agreements on Regional Trade and Investments, and The Role of Women and Youth in Economic Development.
breakout sessions
"On the first day of the two-day conference, most sessions are for breakout sessions which we have organized based on specific sectors of interest to members that includes sessions on textiles and garments; tourism; chemicals; food and agriculture, water, energy and environment; contracting and construction, SME development; women entrepreneurship and youth entrepreneurship."
Gesta said.
He said that the sessions would focus on trends and developments, problems and prospects for growth in the sectors.
CCCI has also invited speakers from both the government and private sectors who will talk about the economic environment, trade and investment policies, foreign direct investment trends, investment incentives, cost structures, infrastructure and utilities, and prospects and challenges for the economic growth and development of the Philippines in general and Cebu.
Gesta said next year's gathering will help businessmen from the various countries in the region strengthen their ties more as they had also set aside discussions on how to further strengthen partnerships among the chambers.
"During the conference, we are hoping that discussions will not only tackle commercial interest but also become a venue for the confederation to discuss more on how we all can be effective in our efforts to help shape policies that affect the Asia-Pacific region's development," said Gesta.
CACCI is a regional grouping of national chambers of commerce and industry, business associations and business enterprises in Asia and the Western
It is a non-governmental organization serving as a forum for promoting the vital role of businessmen in the region, increasing regional business interaction, and enhancing regional economic growth.
It was established in 1966 and since then, has grown into a network of national chambers of commerce from 27 Asia-Pacific

Black Sea Tour 2011 - 2up on a Transalp
View Single Post
Joined: Jul 2009
Location: Bucharest, Romania
Oddometer: 132
Day 5 - Sevastopol - Balaclava - Yalta Sudak 260 km
Getting out of Sevastopol in the morning was an easy job and in no time we were on the road to Balaklava. There was the one piece of recent history which I wanted to see: the former soviet base for atomic submarines and Naval Museum from Blalaklava.
Once you get there you enter the huge nuclear-blast-proof doors and walk some part of the 600m long repair docks, rooms, depots and the now empty arsenal. The submarine base is located inside the rock on the western shore of the bay and has access from the sea on both sides. The base has been designed to resist a direct hit of an atomic bomb up to 100 Kt, and it in case of war it could accommodate up to three thousand people. The base was built also to accommodate 8 small class atomic subs or 6 medium class. The place was abandoned in 1994 when last soviet submarine left the base. A few years ago it was bring back to life and transformed in a museum.
On the other side of the bay, opposite to the submarine base there is the Genoese Fortress
of Cembalo. The settlement is about 2500 years old and is even mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as a pirate's bay. It looked good from the distance, but we decide not to climb up there in full riding gear, even if the view could be promising.
Back on the bike we went to discover the wonders of Crimea. The road surprisingly good and was almost deserted in this area, since we have not entered yet the tourism busy places near Yalta.
First stop was on
Cape Sarych which is a wild beach (less sand and more rocks) on the sea side. Very nice place if you want camp. One of the boys charging some fee for entrance (we did not paid since we were not staying) told us that one of the houses we could see in the back, the one with red roof, belongs or belonged to Gorbachiov.
The next place on the road which we wanted to see was Vorontsov Palace. It is a hard place to get since the tourism resort where it is has many busy, narrow one way streets. We did not see it. We made a stop a few km further down the road in a parking place to take a look at the Swallows' Nest
a symbol of Southern Crimea found on every postcard. The palace was built in 1912 for a oil magnate. In present days I understood that Swallow's Nest is a restaurant.
Made some pics from distance and off we go.
Next we turned left and ride up a narrow road to Mountain Ai Petri. It's a 23 km up twisty narrow most excellent road and another 23 km down Very cool road! Of course for those who dont like to drive in such wonderful conditions they
can climb out of Yalta on the funicular railway, but it
s no fun.
Up the mountain you will find the usual touristic kitsch, plus restaurants, and a bit overcrowded but views are absolutely magnificent.
Destination of the day was Sudak. I order to get there one must pass Yalta which is probably
the most famous and expensive city of the southern Crimea, famous people like to have a rest there
The roads around Yalta are very, very crowded. On the other hand once you got past the crossroad with the highway from Simferopol, the road quiets down, the traffic is more relaxed and you can again enjoy their view of the sea on the right and the mountains and hills on the left. So, the last 80 km to Sudak were an excellent ride!
In Sudak we found manage to find accommodation in the end at Sudak Youth hostel, since our initial hostel (
Moving Bubble Hostel
) was closed down and they did not bother to announce us (even if we had reservations). So after a few calls we manage to get to the next one.
The price was 400 Grv a night and a courtyard where we can safely park the bikes.
After dinner we took a walk on the beach and manage to find Sudak Biker Pub which is an excellent place (with an English speaking waitress). We did not try it, but according to other reports you can spend the night there on the benches. There was live music with a cover band and on the screen one can see Easy Rider. All this assorted with beer and a little vodka (which will come with a price, but that's for later on). Around midnight we took a cab and went to sleep (we were too lazy to walk to the hostel).
The Biker Pub is around here 44.841306, 34.964753.

Is this a game worth owning. I enjoyed My Life as a Darklord

Never quit the day until the game automatically quits in the evenings/nights.
Well, you know My Life as a Darklord.
Anyway, it's long ago, but I spent 100 hours on My Life as a King, literally couldn't put it down. At the end of the day, I was like just one more day just one more day. For the next 40 days. I guess the magic of this game was not the building of your town, but also see it growing from a citizens perspective, and even interact with all the buildings and folks that come to visit or stay in the town. There was also the aspect of imagination because other than leveling and equipping your adventurers and sending them out to the many dungeons, you also had to read their adventure reports carefully to know what went wrong (if something went wrong, for example when they come back home exhausted and with no loot.) A unique and very passive, strategic battle system.
I Recommend trying the basic game, and if you like it, you know... do whatever you want.

"Serb Thug"'s Beating Victim Speaks, Doesn't Recall Incident
Earlier this year Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cut a deal with the Serbian government to get the Steinhauer family $900,000 in lieu of insisting on extradition for Kovacevic (for which the U.S. has no treaty with that government anyway). The Broome County District Attorney, who had originally refused to release his papers on the case to the Serbian authorities, recently relented, and Kovacevic is expected to be tried there.

Thousands demonstrate in Tunis and Sfax for women's rights.
Organised on the 56th anniversary of the promulgation of the Code of Personal Status (CPS), this march was authorised and supervised by security forces.
It started about two hours after fast-breaking from the January 14 Square in Tunis and headed to Mohamed V Avenue where demonstrators gathered in front of the Human Rights Square, shouting slogans calling for total equality between men and women.
Meanwhile, another large rally of women, men and youth took place in the Congress Palace, in the presence of National Constituent Assembly (NCA) members, men of theatre and film-makers.
The main organisers of this rally are the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women (ATFD), the Tunisian Human Rights League (LTDH), the Republican Party, the Social and Democratic Path and the Call for Tunisia party.
A representative of this group read out a declaration calling for "effective and unconditional equality in rights and duties between men and women."
Signatories of this declaration warned in "this constituent stage" against what they described as "a new regression and possible backsliding in women's gains," urging mobilisation to lift reservations on the international Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
More than a thousand demonstrators also walked through the main streets of the city of Sfax, calling for enshrining the principle of gender equality.
The celebration of Women's Day takes place this year amid a controversy between the Islamic Ennahdha-led Government and women's rights activists worried about threats weighing on women's rights in Tunisia.

Comelec to use canvass reports to speed up Senate race count
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), issued a resolution Friday allowing it to use the "Grouped Canvass Reports" to speed up its count and as basis for proclaiming winners along with the official transmitted certificates of canvass.
According to Comelec Resolution No 9706, the NBOC can "use the validated "Grouped Canvass Reports" submitted by the provincial and city boards of canvassers as basis to determine the votes obtained by all the candidates for senator."
The resolution said the move was made also "to ascertain whether or not standing of the candidates who may be initially proclaimed as duly elected senators will be affected by the remaining Provincial and City Certificates of Canvass (COC) still to be received by the NBOC."
The top six senatorial candidates – Grace Poe, Loren Legarda, Francis Escudero, Alan Cayetano, Nancy Binay and Juan Edgardo Angara – were proclaimed Thursday evening even though the NBOC had received only 72 out of 304 COCs.
The NBOC, in a previous resolution, had allowed the lower level BOCs to generate and print "Grouped Canvass Reports" for the senatorial candidates if they have not yet transmitted their COCs to the NBOC.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. had said that a major cause for the delay of transmissions from the lower level BOCs to the NBOC was incomplete data on their level.
Under the automated elections system, the official results have to go through a ladderized system. Election returns from the precinct level will be transmitted to the municipal BOC to be canvassed and, once completed, will then be transmitted to the city or provincial BOC.
Brillantes had said that close races in certain cities and provinces were delaying the transmission of COCs to the NBOC despite a previous Comelec Resolution allowing local candidates to be proclaimed even if all results have not yet come in as long as the remaining uncounted votes will no longer affect the final result.
The NBOC states that the final COCs that will be transmitted to it from the lower level BOCS "will include the votes reflected in the Grouped Canvass Reports and the votes of the remaining precincts and municipalities that are yet to be transmitted."

LOS ANGELES, August 11 - One of the most exciting fighters in the sport of boxing today, Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo has an aggressive style and knockout power that has made him a must-see competitor for years. Now, Angulo will continue his attack on the junior middleweight division as a member of the Golden Boy Promotions team, and the Mexican warrior has just one goal in mind...to win a world championship.
"I always want to give the fans a great show and I work hard to get to my goal of retiring as a world champion," said Angulo, a former interim World Boxing Organization (WBO) and World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas junior middleweight champion. "I believe Golden Boy Promotions is the right company to further my career and achieve my goals in boxing. I can't wait to become Golden Boy's next world champion."
"There are a handful of fighters who always deliver excitement whenever they're in the ring and Alfredo Angulo is certainly one of those select few," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "Alfredo has already accomplished a lot in this sport, but at 29, there's much left for him to accomplish and we're going to be with him every step of the way as he moves from being a star to being a superstar."
A native of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, Alfredo Angulo (19-1, 16 KO's) is a 2004 Mexican Olympian who took the professional game by storm as soon as he debuted in 2005. A devastating puncher whose relentless pressure has seen him break the likes of Ricardo Cortes, Richard Gutierrez, Andrey Tsurkan and Cosme Rivera over the course of his six-year career. Angulo rebounded from the lone loss of his career via decision to Kermit Cintron in 2009 to win the interim WBO World Title just two fights later against then-unbeaten Harry Joe Yorgey. In 2010, Angulo continued to show his world-class talent with knockouts of Joel Julio and Joachim Alcine. Following Angulo reaching a settlement with his prior promoter Gary Shaw Productions, he is ready to resume his quest to rule the junior middleweight division with Golden Boy Promotions in his corner

There may be some new cats prowling the Albany Civic Center in 2010 -- the Albany Panthers.
Albany city commissioners are expected to decide Nov. 24 whether to sign an 18-month contract with the Southern Indoor Football League team, which would replace the South Georgia Wildcats of the defunct af2 and play at the Civic Center.
Asked by City Commissioner Tommie Postell his opinion of the proposed contract, Albany City Manager Alfred Lott said, "I believe this is the best opportunity to have football in this city this year."
Panthers owner Andre White spoke to commissioners at their work session this morning and said he woul work with the city to make the pact happen.
Also on hand was league President Thomas Hagger, who promoted a regional plan for the team and assured commissioners his league was financially solvent.
Updates as details develop.

Ravens take wait-and-see approach
Updated: July 15, 2009, 3:29 PM ETBy James Walker | ESPN.com
Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in a conference call Wednesday that he plans to meet with top receiver Derrick Mason soon.
The subject undoubtedly will revolve around Mason's sudden retirement earlier this week, and whether there's a chance he will change his mind before the start of the 2009 season.
The Ravens were caught off guard Monday when Mason, who led the team in receptions and yards in 2008, told jocklife.com that he was calling it quits after 12 seasons. ...

Black tops white in scrimmage
|09.20.10 at 1:17 pm ET
Though the white team featured perhaps the most intriguing line on the ice in Patrice Bergeron centering Mark Recchi and Tyler Seguin, the black team claimed a 3-1 victory in the Bruins' intrasqaud scrimmage on Monday.
Seguin hit Bergeron in the slot, who promptly beat Nolan Schaefer to open the game's scoring early in the second half (the sides took the ice for two 20-minute periods), but Zdeno Chara and Jamie Arniel both netted goals for the black squad, with Lane MacDermid potting an empty netter. Check back here for post-game comments from the players and coach Claude Julien.
At least Joe Colborne doesn't have to wear a neck guard
|09.19.10 at 11:35 pm ET
Bruins 2008 first-round pick Joe Colborne has a lot of things that should eventually make him a key contributor in the NHL. This summer, his leadership was displayed during rookie development, and last week Peter Chiarelli singled him out as someone whose skating has improved in the offseason. Looking at him, his 6-foot-5 frame makes size his biggest possession, but Colborne also has something that nobody else on the ice at training camp has: a cage.
Colborne got his nose and lip cut up pretty badly last week after taking an elbow to the face in the first of the Bruins' two rookie games against the Islanders. He had stitches on the inside and outside of nose, as well as the inside of his lip and underwent neurology tests to determine whether he may have suffered a concussion. Everything checked out regarding the latter, but as a result of the facial injuries, he's been forced to rock a full cage at practice. While wearing the mask doesn't affect a player's abilities in any way — he's gone at 100 percent in practice and will play in Monday's scrimmage — the quirks of adding a cage have been noticed by the young center.
"Thank goodness I went to college and had to do two years with the cage," Colborne said Sunday. "It took a little bit of getting used to [Saturday] but today today it felt better."
The cage isn't too uncommon for players to wear over short stretches when playing with injuries to the face. The likes of Joe Thornton and Zdeno Chara have sported it in the past for Boston, but it is certainly a nuisance to to those forced to wear them. That's where the conversation took a turn to youth hockey, when full cages were the norm, and depending on which youth hockey organization one was in, players were instead bugged by the vaunted neck guard.
"Oh yeah. All the way up," Colborne said when asked if he was forced to wear one while playing as a youngster. "They were pretty pointless to me. We all just taped them up and made them as small as possible so they're more comfortable."
Straightening his neck out and moving it side to side, almost robotically, he added, "you walk around like this and you can't move your neck at all in them."
The neck guard and the cage both fall into the category of annoying pieces of equipment. Colborne certainly doesn't miss the neck guard, known more among young players for itchy tags and restricting qualities than any protective benefits, but can find solace in the fact that it's been a while since he's had to wear one and, more importantly, that they're out of his life completely. The same can't be said for the temporary adjustment back to a cage as he tries to impress the Bruins brass and coaching staff.
"I had to get used to it for college, but then all summer I was back to the half-visor, and in rookie camp I was half-visor. It's just cooler, it's easier to breathe, it doesn't restrict your vision when you're trying to look out and use your peripheral vision and look down and see the puck," Colborne. "When you've got those bars in the way, it gets in the way."
Though it could be days before the stitches on Colborne's nose are gone, he's been able to feel the ones in his lip dissolving during the practice sessions and even saw some fall on the ice on Sunday.
Colborne said Sunday was the first day he could breathe out of his nose. His right nostril is still giving some issues when it comes to breathing, but thanks to relentless icing his face — which was very swollen a day after the hit — hasn't been as big a problem as he prepares to ditch the cage within the next couple of days.
"It's come down a ton. I've been icing it non-stop. Literally I've just been going home and plopping ice on it all day long," Colborne said. "The extra time I've been putting in has helped out. It already just feels more natural."
Colborne picked up 72 points over his two-year career at the University of Denver. He finished last season with six games in Providence, his first taste of the AHL.
Black/White scrimmage for Monday
|09.19.10 at 11:20 pm ET
Claude Julien announced Sunday that rather than having two sessions each for Groups A and B on Monday, the team would have one session at 10:30 followed by a scrimmage at noon. It is anticipated the lines would be the same as they have been in practice thus far. The scrimmage will be closed to the public but it should be interesting to see how some of the younger guys who got to play against Islanders rookies last week fare against seasoned vets. We'll have a full report following the scrimmage.
Ference not taking health for granted
|09.19.10 at 12:44 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference has proven himself as a capable defenseman since coming over from Calgary during the 2006-07 season. One thing he hasn't been able to prove is an ability to stay on the ice for 82 games. Though he did so in the 2005-06 season, his last full campaign with the Flames, since coming to Boston he has yet to be able to skate in as many 60 games in a season. The most recent hiccup to Ference's health was a groin that required offseason surgery.
Ference feels good as he enters his 11th season in the NHL, but the 31-year-old knows the game too well to assume a full season of play is a given.
"There's nothing you can do to stop injuries from happening. It's hockey. If something else comes up down the road, it's not because of a lack of rehab or anything like that. It's just the sport, so I can't say, 'Oh yeah. Awesome, nothing's every going to happen again,' but I feel great right now."
Ference took four weeks to recover from the surgery, which took place in late May. He is skating in Group B for the team's training camp practices and is paired with Cody Wild.
Here are a couple of other notes from a 10-minute long chat that had Zdeno Chara poking fun at the defenseman's popularity.
– Ference is no stranger to teams making big pushes in the playoffs, as he was a member of the 2000-01 Penguins and the 2003-04 Flames. Asked how he compares this team to the past squads he's been on, he pointed to his Penguins days in saying, "We don't have Mario [Lemieux] on our team." Ference played in 18 games in that postseason, one in which Pittsburgh fell to te Devils in the Eastern Conference finals.
– Ference seemed optimistic for the 2010-11 squad, referencing the Bruins overcoming "a really good test" in some regular season rough patches and earning a playoff berth.
Going camping: a look at the rivals
|09.18.10 at 5:02 pm ET
The Bruins have opened training camp with yesterday's fitness testing and two on-ice sessions on Saturday. Tyler Seguin figures to be the center of attention around the Garden for the time being as he adjusts to playing with NHL veterans, but the Bruins aren't the only ones to kick things off. Here's a quick roundup of what the Northeast division rivals have been up to.
Sabres (100 points in 2009-10)
Perhaps the biggest change in how the 2010-11 Sabres will look will be in the most literal sense of the word. The team unveiled their new jerseys for the coming season, with the overall theme encapsulating a very classic feel.
While the Bruins got their festivities started a bit early with two rookie exhibitions at the Garden this past week and a used equipment sale on Saturday, the Sabres held "Puck Drop 2010″ to mark the opening of the team's camp. The event consisted of a street hockey game, season ticket holders picking up their tickets for the coming season, and of course, fans getting their hands on the team's new sweaters at .
Senators (94)
Things aren't so joyful in Ottawa, where defenseman Filip Kuba is out after suffering a leg injury, the extent of which is being determined. Kuba played in 53 games last season and missed the final 11 of the regular season and the entire playoffs with a lower body injury.
Saturday's injury reportedly came as a result of Kuba's skate getting caught while on the ice for the team's second session. The biggest injury news in the division likely remains Friday's development regarding Marc Savard being held out by the reoccurrence of post-concussion symptoms.
Canadiens (88)
Pat Hickey at the Montreal Gazette takes a look at an impressive showing early on from Ryan Russell, who picked up two points in the team's camp-opening scrimmage. The 23-year-old forward has spent the last three seasons in the AHL and entered camp a longshot to make the Habs.
Hickey notes other players who grabbed attention, including Maxim Lapierre, who with three goals in the playoffs last season scored nearly half as many postseason goals as he did in 76 regular season games.
Maple Leafs (74)
The Maple Leafs couldn't wait until the exhibition games to drop the gloves, as Michael Liambas, who last October was suspended for the remainder of the OHL season after a dirty hit on an opposing defenseman, squared off with Jay Rosehill. According to this report, coach Ron Wilson said that Liambas, 21, is a "very long shot" to make the team.
Chiarelli wants Bruins to 'respond' to postseason collapse
|09.18.10 at 1:16 am ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli told both the team and the media Friday that his intention is not for the Bruins to forget the Flyers' incredible comeback from a three-games-to-none defect in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In fact, he wants the team to use it as a reason to avoid complacency and to take the next step.
"One of the things we talked to the group about this morning was not essentially turning the page — this is always going to be in out memory — but building on it," Chiarelli said. "I don't think we are ever going to turn the page on it. We are going to build on it and we are going to respond to it."
The message was well-received by Claude Julien, who noted he wants to make the city proud of their team again, and the players.
"Half of it is not forgetting what happened at the end of the season and half of it's using it as motivation going forward," defenseman Mark Stuart said. "It's a little bit of both."

Tuukka Rask working on becoming a Bostonian
|09.17.10 at 2:30 pm ET
Finland native Tuukka Rask has done plenty in Boston so far as a goaltender. In his first full season splitting time with Tim Thomas in net, Rask led the NHL in both goals against average (1.97) and save percentage (.931).
Now, after bringing Finland to Boston, Rask is getting more acquainted with becoming a Bostonian. After spending a couple of months in his native country, Rask did what he could to soak up the Boston atmosphere outside of hockey season.
"I had never seen Boston in the summertime, so I kind of wanted to see that. I was really impressed, it was awesome here."
As such, his offseason activities included plenty of golfing — including charity tournaments for both Shawn Thornton and the Bruins foundation — and, like many locals this summer, taking in the Aerosmith/J. Geils Band concert at Fenway Park last month.
With fitness testing taking place Friday morning, the offseason fun is over for Rask, but if he continues what he started last season, his affection for the city will undoubtedly be reciprocated.

Pensions to feel bipartisan bite
For years, federal and postal workers have benefited from congressional gridlock. Efforts to cut benefits, or force people to pay more for them, were often blocked by partisan wrangling. But where your pension is concerned, the good old days may be over, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.

The joys of divided government
Democrats control the White House and the Senate, while Republicans call the shots in the House. So what impact has divided government had on federal workers?

Analysis: NRC nomination battle hurts workforce morale
It's a good time for career employees at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to lay low and stay in their cubicles. A nasty political fight over President Obama's Republican, female commissioner nominee, Kristine Svinicki, has caused Chairman Gregory Jaczko to publicly deny he is abusive towards women.

Postal bill amendment seeks to cut backlog ahead of USPS retirement 'deluge'
An amendment to a Senate bill aiming to restructure the U.S. Postal Service's financial framework would institute new agency reporting requirements for retiring federal workers in anticipation of a "deluge of retirees" from USPS. Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), introduced an amendment last week that requires the Office of Personnel Management to take new steps to chip away at the longstanding backlog of federal retirement claims.

CHICAGO ( MainStreet) -- There's nothing like a survey to give a news story a quick, easy hook, which is why they show up in so many newspaper stories, website postings and TV news segments. Pick any topic, and chances are a sampling of Americans has been asked about it (allowing writers, in turn, to give their opinions of the opinions).
Small-business sentiment is an especially popular subject. With regular surveys of small-business owners being conducted by financial institutions and professional associations, it's relatively easy to make generalizations about this crucial segment of the U.S. economy. But doing so can also be misleading.
Surveys gauge small-business confidence constantly, but data can be misleading when you try to generalize about this crucial segment of the U.S. economy.
Take a look through the most recent research on small-business confidence and some common themes come through: Owners are feeling better than they did two or three years ago, they're worried about the health of the U.S. economy and reluctant to take risks.
Look at certain numbers and you can make a strong case things are getting better. Consider other measures, and you can proclaim the business climate remains dismal. Whether things are "good" or "bad" for small companies depends in large part on context.If you want to put a positive spin on things, consider a recent survey of 3,000 business owners conducted by Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank (USB). Almost 70% described their company's financial health as "good," "very good" or "excellent." Asked to name their biggest concern, most said general economic uncertainty; the second-most popular answer, "poor sales," was cited by only 12% of owners. These findings are consistent with a 2011 year-end survey by the National Small Business Association, which found that 75% of small-business owners were confident about the future of their business, even though only 20% believed the overall economy would grow in 2012. The most recent Index of Small Business Optimism, released monthly by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, found that overall, optimism levels for the first half of 2012 are the highest they've been since late 2007. But the future doesn't look particularly bright: only 7% of owners think the next three months will be a good time to expand.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The NFL has fined Titans safety Bernard Pollard $42,000 for his hit on Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson.
The NFL confirmed the punishment Wednesday, saying Pollard was fined for hitting a defenseless receiver in the head or neck area with his shoulder.
The hit in last week s 30-24 overtime win by Houston left Johnson with a concussion after Pollard helped knock him out of bounds near the goal line late in regulation.
No penalty flag was thrown.
Pollard shared he had been fined on Twitter. He wrote Wednesday morning the NFL said he did everything right but 42k later I still get fined. Wow! It s called football but they want 2 hand touch.
The veteran safety has been fined previously in his career, including for a late hit in the preseason opener in August.
The NFL also fined Texans safety Kareem Jackson $42,000 for his hit on receiver Kendall Wright.Jackson was flagged on the play.He will appeal.

Forget "kits". Purchase a fine artists watercolor brush. I have a collection that I've collected at art store sales. #5/0 is the most useful, but broader brushes are sometimes useful.
I use Spotone, but it is no longer made. Marshall's offers a set of dyes that are just as good.
Spotting dyes usually come in a set of six colors - you generally only need the neutral and slightly warm colors. Mix the dyes in minute quantities using an eyedropper - a bottle of dye will last a very long time (my Spotone bottles are over 30 years old). But don't get too hung up on matching colors - the major objective of spotting is to 'minimize local contrast' according to David Vestal. The objective is to make the white spots less white compared with the gray areas around them.
I mix a few drops of dye on a white plastic palette - you can buy small white plastic dishes in art supply stores that are perfect for this. I use a white plastic container that formerly held makeup. Vestal uses a china saucer that he bought at a garage sale. Let the drops dry. Then, use a brush moistened in distilled water with a drop of photoflo to pick up some of the dried dye. Smear that bit of dye on another spot in the palette to make a gray spot. Repeat this process to generate a range of gray smears from very faint to slightly grayer than black. These smears can be used many times, and can be renewed as needed.
Use magnifiers (cheap drugstore reading glasses work just fine) to examine the print carefully with strong light. Examine a spot, and note the shade of gray that surrounds it - pick up a bit of dye using your moistened brush in a shade that is slightly whiter than the surrounding gray, and with a stippling effect, apply a series of dots of dye in the spot. If your light is directional, you can use the shadow of the brush to help you get the tip of the brush exactly where you want it to be in the spot - just bring the tip of the brush together with the shadow of the tip on the spot you are trying to correct. If you use a dye smear that is slightly lighter than the surrounding gray, then you can simply progressively add more spots until the spotted dye is dark enough.
Apply dye until it becomes difficult to differentiate between the spot and the surrounding gray when viewed under bright light and with your magnifiers. Then, when you look at the print with normal light and without magnifiers, the spot will no longer be obvious. Again - the objective is to reduce local contrast so that the bright white spot doesn't stand out.
To steady your brush hand, rest it on the print, using a piece of paper towel to protect the print from oils from your hand. Have a second paper towel that you hold in your other hand and use as a blotter.
Spotting is tedious, but it causes you to get up close and personal with your print. Frankly, sometimes the challenge is to know when to stop - - - you really don't need to spot the white spaces between the silver grains making up the image.

She's the biggest thing in pop music since The Beatles and Taylor Swift got to rock out with the legendary Beatle Paul McCartney at the Plaza Hotel in New York City this weekend.
Given their strong friendship, it's no wonder Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss have so much on-camera chemistry together.
Now that it's Friday and the weekend is here, Taylor Swift is brightening everyone's day with the release of her new music video for "Style!"
The third clip from the "Love Story" singer's 1989 album is quite different from its predecessors, given the beach scenes, nighttime drives and tons of smoke and projections.
She's masterful in the art of building hype, and Taylor Swift is getting fans ready for the release of her "Style" video with yet another teaser.
The latest preview is a quick snip of the "Shake It Off" songstress raising her arms up in an angelic fashion against several different backdrops.
Their strange relationship began back in 2009 when he interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, and now Kanye West and Taylor Swift are planning on making beautiful music together.
She loves giving her fans little treats, and Taylor Swift's latest offering is a tasty appetizer from her forthcoming video for "Style."
The "Should've Said No" singer uploaded an artsy GIF of the clip, which depicted her neck and head getting filled up with smoked, along with the caption, "STYLE music video. Friday. #Feb13STYLE."
Things went terribly awry when Diplo jokingly suggested that Taylor Swift had a flat backside last fall, setting off one of pop music's most entertaining feuds in recent memory.
And thankfully last night (February 8) the snarky deejay and the pop princess decided to "Shake it Off" and bury the hatchet at a post-Grammy party. Diplo posted a photo with Miss Swift via Twitter along with the caption, "Then this happened @Taylorswift vs Taylor spliff #grammys2015."
She's the undisputed queen of cell phone selfies and last night (February 8) Kim Kardashian had her iPhone at the ready as she took her seat at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.

The mod itself has an odd sense of humor (Which isn't a bad thing) and the level design and gameplay are great. There are some hiccups in pacing and difficulty jumps here and there, not to mention installing the mod and making it run properly may be too much for some players (Although the newest patches are easy to apply now), this mod is nothing a Half-life 2 mod fan should miss :)
