The Gates of Gre'thor where you can't even get thru the first gate.
One thing I would like to ask is this also related to the issue of the comet in Night of the Comet not appearing/not breaking up properly and causing that mission to fail also? As it seems unique that it's a space mission and space items with the problem as so far it seems like the issue has been confined to ground missions.
Space maps do not use path data like ground maps, so this is unlikely to have a role in Night of the Comet.

Heather (Silent Hill 3) is happy horror has ended. But when she's back in her apartment strange things are going on again. May the horror return? "Silent Hill: a tale of silence" is a point and click adventure in Silent Hill style. It's more an homage and a parody instead of a serious game. Currently all graphics, sounds and stuff are temporary because it's still in test state.
Apr 4th, 2013 0 people agree 0 people don't
The game was very well done. Not only am I a huge fan of the Silent Hill series but I also started my adventures in the Survival Horror Genre playing a point and click game known as Clock Tower. After seeing this was a point and click version of my favorite game in the SH series I played it immediately and so far it has not disappointed. The game adds so many cool little homages to the original game and the series overall that are just fun to encounter, it makes you want to play more just to see what else you can find. I can't wait to finish the game, you should try it out for yourselves.

Spring Bling Party – April 10
Glamour Boutique, 850 Southbridge Street, Auburn, MA, is sponsoring their spring party April 10! Glamour Boutique's parties have become a popular tradition in the transgender community and are always one of the biggest events of the year.
Glamour Boutique's second annual Spring Bling Party happens from 8:00 pm to 1:00 am on Friday, April 10th, at the Indian Meadows Country Club (also known as Acacia Functions). The Country Club is a very nice facility and, although on Route 9 in Westborough, it is situated way back off the main road in a very private and safe setting.
This will be a great opportunity for you to put away your winter blah outfits and pull out your spring finery. Then add a touch of BLING to get in the spirit of the new season. What better way than to say farewell to the brutal winter we have had than dancing the night away in your best outfit?
Any and all CDs, Ts, MtFs, FtMs, Admirers, etc are welcome to party and dance the night away. Drinks are very reasonable at the club and we will have munchies available too.
There will be a Miss Sprint Bling that will be chosen by secret judge vote. Miss Gigi and/or Jackie Diamond who will make the announcement at midnight. Miss Spring Bling and two runner ups will receive tiaras. The criteria for this contest is BLING!
Our hostess of the night will be the vivacious Miss Gigi from Salem. Decorations will be done by the lovely Kelly. Miss Jackie Diamond of diamonddancemusic.com will be DJing for the event. She will be doing a special set of Karaoke Music. Please contact her if interested at: email@example.com.
For those of you who have not been to the country club, there are three rooms in the front section. On the far left is a section usually set up for Saturday weddings. In the center is a room with tables where people can sit and talk near the bar. And on the far right is a decent sized room with a dance floor with more tables and chairs for resting or watching the dancers.
If you call or e-mail in a reservation to Glamour Boutique, you will only have to pay $10 at the door. Or pay $20 at the door without a reservation. Parking is free and is within steps of the entrance. Remember the location is isolated away from the main street and encompassed by a huge golf course so there is complete privacy for those needing that security.
To make your reservation or if you need more information, email or call Glamour Boutique at firstname.lastname@example.com or 508-721-7800 or 888-721-3177 toll free. Or drop by the store: Glamour Boutique, 850 Southbridge Street, Auburn, MA.
For party updates please Friend www.tgfashions.com on Facebook at:
For Makeover Appointments, please email@example.com, 508-721-7800 or 888-721-3177 to requiest one of Glamour Boutique's make up artists.
Glamour Boutique has arrangements with the Econo Lodge for a group rate. They are about a mile away from the country club and have direct access from the room to the car so one does not need to go through any crowded lobbies. The rate is $64.95 for the full room. The number for reservations is 508-842-8941. Tell them you want the "SPRING BLING at Indian Meadows Country Club" rate. To get to the Econolodge from the Country Club, drive west on Route 9 and then take the 20 West exit. The Econo Lodge is almost immediately there after you get on route 20 (on the right side). The address is 380 SW Cutoff, Northborough, MA 01532 .
The closest lodging is Motel 6, within a mile of the Indian Meadows Country Club on the same side of the street. They have great rates: Motel 6, 399 Turnpike Road, Westborough, 508-366-0202.
Directions: Indian Meadows is at 275 Turnpike Road in Westborough, MA. It is on the western side of Westborough. Look for the Wendy's on the opposite side of Route 9 as a guide point. There is a Burlington Coat Factory behind the Wendy's. (Note that there is another Wendy's near I-495 on the other side of the I-495 junction.) The roadway to the country club is on the west bound side directly across from the Wendy's and has a red light of its own. For those of you getting off onto Route 9 from I-495, it is 4.7 miles to the west on the right side. You will pass Westborough Toyota, then Glick Nissan, just before reaching the country club driveway on the right. The website for the Indian Meadows Country Club is www.AcaciaFunctions.com.
Please join us April 10 for a great yet safe night!

Bury Your Battered Skin Top Wig and Advance Ahead to a Lace Front
by Nicole Renee, I'm Hot Studio, Amesbury, MA
If it could cry, it would have whimpered one, faint, last snivel.
I stood there in disbelief. . .shock. . .awe. . .and just stared at it.
This lifeless, plastic scalped, chew-toy of a wig was ready for a proper burial. There was no way I would allow my client, Kathy, to wear this frizzy "animal" on her head. . .to continue on this road-kill path of ratty wigs.
"I've had this piece for so long, but I guess it's time to move forward."
"Yes," I agreed, " You will be SO happy you did!" Tossing the wig to the side, I declared, "We are on a journey to cooler, lighter and more natural looking wigs!"
Many of my clients have started with skin tops when they first venture into the colorful and endless world of wigs. These are OK if you're on a tight budget and cannot spring for a new or higher quality hairpiece. When you can conveniently "find" the money to do so, I highly recommend graduating to lace fronts.
Here's the Difference 101 between a skin top versus lace front wig: A skin top wig has hair punched into a scalp-like material, either latex or polyurethane. A lace front wig has hair attached as small knots into a lace mesh material. Let's examine the pros and cons of each.
Benefits of Skin Tops
Price motivates buyers to purchase a skin top. They are cheaper and novice wig shoppers often grab the hairpiece that's easiest on the purse.
Cons of Skin Tops
Skin tops may be light on the wallet but they're heavy on the sweat. Polyurethane and latex suffocate the skin. These materials make for uncomfortable wearing if you're a heavy sweater or live in a warm climate. Perspiration trickles down to melting your makeup job as well.
The hair movement is relatively stiff as its restricted by the plastic base, contributing to an artificial look.
Adding hair to thinning spots on a skin top base can be done but good luck finding a ventilator gunning for the job. This is labor intensive, expensive and potentially damages the inflexible cap. Reinvest your money on a quality lace front wig.
Benefits of Lace Fronts
The benefits of lace fronts outweigh the cons. The breathable lace allows for the flow through of air. They part easily, lending to versatile styling options. The hair flows with grace and ease in a lace base versus a rigid, plastic foundation.
A quality lace front, looks like the hair grows out of your head and the hairline density can be tailored. An experienced ventilator can add hair into the lace to cover thinning areas as the hairpiece thins.
Cons of Lace Fronts
Many web shoppers get excited to find a "deal" on a longer lace front ($100 or less) but often when it arrives, the density is thin, sparse in the bang area, or it sheds heavily upon brushing.
Sometimes a square or dense round hairline needs to be customized.
Quality deluxe lace fronts are pricey but you get what you pay for. You're paying for labor intensive knitting, a medium or heavier density, rooted or multi-dimensional color, length and hair type.
Questions to Ask When Buying
- What type of lace is used? French lace tends to be more durable and scratchy for some versus softer, delicate Swiss lace options.
- What types of knots are used? A well made lace front is weaved with double knots to secure the hair. A weakly woven single knot lace front sheds heavily on the first brushing or balds quicker.
- How is the cap adjustable? I recommend hook and eye straps. The hair gets caught in velcro straps and pull strings loosen and wear quickly.
- What is the density? Light density: 80%. Light to Medium Density: 80-100%. Under 100%, why buy a balding wig? lol. Medium to Heavy 100-130%. This is typical stock density. Closer to 120-130%, the better. Heavy: 150%. Mostly for performers who want a super full style
So, that's a quick, cheat sheet guide. Many online wigs have this information in their descriptions.
As for my client, Kathy, she has officially embraced lace fronts!
When I applied the layer flowing design on Kathy, a smile and blush glowed over her face. "I feel so glamorous and it looks so real!" The chest length, chocolate brown with buttery blonde highlights definitely had that "movie star" quality.
We finished customizing the front and she confidently waved goodbye, with a toss of her hair and a beaming smile, she was ready to conquer her day!

Just an interesting observation. We've been in a sellers' market for some time now, and it's incredible how many potential sellers really do not have a clue of where prices are and what their home could sell for.
I study homes and prices every day. My suggestion to anyone who is considering selling a home, have a professional Real Estate agent do a market evaluation for you. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the increase in the value of your home.
The following update on local real estate information for Fullerton is based on Multiple Listing Service data as of March 25.
Properties available: 82
Condominiums: 13
Houses: 69
Short sales and REOs: 2
Average condo price: $385,623
Average house price: $836,460
Average time on the market: 21 days for condos; 51 days for houses
Available properties by price range:
Under $399,999: 14
$400,000 - $699,999: 41

Knowledge Base
The VMware Knowledge Base provides support solutions, error messages and troubleshooting guides
Problem connecting to VMware Server (Linux) (1007477)
When you try to access a virtual machine on VMware Server through the VMware Server Console or Remote Console, the following error message might appear in a dialog box:
There was a problem connecting. Cannot connect to host <name>: No connection could be made because the machine actively refused it.
Other software might produce the following error when attempting a connection to VMware Server:
Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.
For a different condition, this error might appear:
Problem: 503 Service Unavailable
Trying to access a virtual machine remotely through the VMware Server Console or Remote Console is a good way to test network connectivity.
This solution is for both VMware Server 1.0.x and 2.0.x when hosted on Linux. For VMware Server hosted on Windows, see this article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008436
The 503 Service Unavailable condition has a simple solution: restart VMware management service:
sudo service mgmt-vmware restart
VMware Server requires a specific set of software packages, including xinetd for network connections. Some Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu) do not install xinetd by default. If that is the case, find and install the xinetd package.
When the host is unable to make connections on the VMware automation port (902 by default), the error messages shown above might appear. You can choose a different automation port, for example 904, in which case you would specify <vmwareserverhost>:904 when connecting.
If you see any similar connection-related error message, upgrade software packages on the Linux host. You might also have to reinstall VMware Server. Other conditions besides those listed above can cause connection problems; if you discover one, please report it with a Feedback message.
When installing VMware Server on a Linux host, follow the instructions for your distribution. Installation and configuration procedures for several recent Ubuntu releases are here on the Ubuntu community Web site:
Instructions for installing VMware Server on SUSE 10.x are here:
VMware Studio 1.0 required VMware Server for provisioning appliances. Follow installation instructions for VMware Server 1.0.6, and not 2.0.0, because the first release of VMware Studio is not compatible with VMware Server 2.0. VMware Studio 2.0 supports many other VMware provisioning platforms.

Something clearly doesn't add up.
Either Gordon's injury is worse than he or the team has let on, or Gordon is simply softer than a Morning Call beignet. And neither situation is acceptable at this point, considering how much patience the organization has asked from fans during this chaotic three-year transition.

"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
I just don't get it. Either he's actually injured or he's treating this team and this city like its condemned.

Oven Baked Pork Chops & Rice
Community Recipe from
- 1 can(s) cream of mushroom
- 1.5 cup(s) water or chicken broth
- 1 cup(s) uncooked rice
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 pork chops thin cut
- 1/4 cup(s) flour
- Pour flour in gallon ziploc bag (season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne or whatever spice combo you want). Add pork chops and shake until flour mixture coats the pork chops.
- Sear the pork chops in butter or olive oil (I use a combo of both). If using boneless thin cut chops, this will only take about a minute on each side.
- Stir together soup, water (or chicken broth), rice and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a 3 quart casserole dish
- Add onions.
- Place pork chops on top of rice.
- Cover and bake at 350* for 50 minutes or until meat is done and liquid is absorbed. If using thick cut or bone-in chops, the cooking time will need to be increased.
- Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.

Re: The Defiance Thread - News about the Show and Game
Shows on Syfy get significantly less ratings, and need significantly less ratings to stay profitable. It's a smaller market with smaller overheads. That and the show is an advert for the game. But what the real clincher is going to be is dvd sales. Scifi nerds buy dvds. A million people might be watching this show, but TPTB (dellusionally) think that they can sell 30 million dvds in the first month domestically and double that internationally.

Marc Garber, Host, WNYC News
Marc joined WNYC in 2006 after working most of the previous three decades in commercial radio, including at WQXR when it was still part of The New York Times Company.
Police arrested three people over the weekend for using illegal motorbikes and reckless riding on city streets.
One of those arrested is a sanitation department worker, 41-year-old Samuel Lopez. He was arrested as he fueled up his ATV at a gas station. Another ATV rider at the same gas station fled on foot leaving his ATV behind. Both vehicles were confiscated.
Police say all 3 were arrested after they were spotted weaving in and out of traffic or riding on sidewalks in Northern Manhattan.
In all, police confiscated 8 dirt bikes and ATVs.
The crackdown comes days after a police officer in Brooklyn was run down by a man on an ATV and dragged 200 feet.
Six months ago, police arrested several motorcyclists shown in a viral video dragging a man out of his SUV and beating him in Washington Heights.
As part of the weekend crackdown, officers were instructed not to engage in pursuits.

I just bought a perfect sr-T303b and 3 MF lenses ( Minolta50f1.7, Vivitar 28f2.8 and 135f2.8) or my 17yr old daughter who insisted on also becoming an analog photog after 2yrs of taking pictures with a 2nd hand Nikon D.. I got her to learn some basics.
Though the machine could do everyting manualy, she could not get herself further than the green button and shot as a soldier hoping for a couple keepers after that.
But surprise,surprise the girl was getting bored taking the d.g.t.l frames and she loved the look of my neutral color gold200 4"x6" prints I still kept shooting.
What I told her after she got the Minolta is simple: measure the scene take care of positioning the meter with the O on the right in line with the needle, focus the lens precisely and of you go.
Five minutes, no manual to read, no tutorial to search on the net, nadda. Just 5 minutes of explaining the basic meter and focus the ring.
Oh man I fell in love with this sr-T303b for sure. But it's hers. She takes it everywhere and shoots 2 yr expired Gold200 with a lot more keepers!
Then she came to me in a state and reported almost crying: dad I saw the camera back was open in my camerabag! All my pics ruined!
Close it and shoot it till the end I advised. Maybe the lomo effects will make it worth keeping... And it did. Nice foging from the sides and the top. She loved it and I enjoyed her joy.
PS. all her 17 and 18yr old friends are on MF 135 camera's now shooting wild negs and 4 by 6 prints; they dropped the d.g.t.l sh.t. for a moment, I sincerely hope they stay. I'm a proud father.
And I love her even more now.

School Break News Roundup
Monday, April 09, 2012
Beth Fertig, WNYC's education reporter and contributor to SchoolBook, looks at Chancellor Walcott's first year and other education news.
Comments [2]
I'm not a parent and don't have kids, though I certainly help pay for the schools. But what I don't understand is why parents (even kids) would object so much to closing ineffective schools and starting over? I just don't get it.
Very important: has Walcott made any more waffles for students since his first day on the job?

The "Don't Say Goodbye" Latina powerhouse took Vegas by storm on Friday night, performing at the Palms in a gold "dress" I'd probably be more likely to call a "blouse" and pair with, you know, pants. But she looks ridiculously hot. Like, as a totally heterosexual woman, even I kind of want to go up on stage and touch her legs. Enjoy the up-skirts, kids.

Iran "will press on with enrichment": Nuclear chief
Published on Nov 29, 2012 6:50 AM
DUBAI (REUTERS) - Iran will go on refining uranium"with intensity" and the number of enrichment centrifuges it has operating will rise substantially in the current year, the country's nuclear energy chief was quoted as saying on Wednesday.
The comments by Mr Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, signalled continued defiance in the face of international demands that Tehran halt enrichment to the higher 20 per cent fissile purity level, close down its Fordow enrichment plant, and ship out its stockpile of the material.
But he also said Iran would continue and possibly raise its output of reactor fuel using 20 per cent enriched uranium - which suggests that less of it might be available for use in what the West suspects is an attempt to develop atom bombs.
Iran says it needs 20 per cent refined uranium - as opposed to the lower-grade enrichment to 3.5 per cent level needed for nuclear power plants - to turn into fuel for a medical research reactor in Tehran.

Red Wings place Drake on IR
October 25th, 2007
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The Detroit Red Wings placed veteran forward Dallas Drake on injured reserve Thursday with a fractured cheekbone.
Drake, who has one assist in eight games this season, suffered the injury in a game against the San Jose Sharks on October 18 and will likely be sidelined one week.
To take Drake's spot on the roster, Detroit recalled goaltender Jimmy Howard from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League with starting netminder Dominik Hasek nursing a hip injury.

Sabres call up Weber to bolster defense
October 25, 2007
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -Defenseman Mike Weber was called up from the minors by the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday to bolster the team's injury-depleted defense.
The Sabres' second-round pick in the 2006 draft, Weber could make his NHL debut Friday when Buffalo plays at Florida. He's had three assists in nine games in his first year with AHL Rochester this season.
The Sabres, in the midst of playing five straight road games, could be down two regular blue-liners after Dmitri Kalinin sprained his knee in a 6-2 loss at Carolina on Wednesday. Jaroslav Spacek's status is uncertain after he missed the past three games with a shoulder injury.
Re: Hockey Today - Friday, Oct. 26
Red Wings say Dominik Hasek out indefinitely with sore hip.
October 25, 2007
DETROIT (AP) -Red Wings goalie Dominik Hasek will be out indefinitely with a sore hip, meaning Chris Osgood will start Friday against San Jose.
Hasek, 42, made 13 saves in Detroit's 3-2 win over Vancouver on Wednesday. He is 4-2-1 this season with a 2.68 goals-against average.
The Red Wings called up Jimmy Howard from their Grand Rapids AHL affiliate to back up Osgood. Howard is 3-1-0 with a 3.00 goals-against average in four games with the Griffins this season.
Detroit also placed forward Dallas Drake on injured reserve for a broken cheekbone sustained Oct. 18 against San Jose. He is expected to miss at least one week

Carolina (6-1-3) has earned a point in all but one of its 10 contests and is atop the Southeast Division with 15 points - the same number it had through 10 games in 2005-06, when it won the Stanley Cup.
Buffalo Sabres at Florida Panthers
The Sabres look to avoid opening a season with four straight road losses for the first time in seven years when they continue their five-game road trip against the Florida Panthers on Friday.
San Jose Sharks at Detroit Red Wings
San Jose, which has scored three goals in the final period the last two games, has lost 11 of its last 15 trips to Joe Louis Arena, including two playoff games last season.
Colorado Avalanche at Calgary Flames
Calgary is among the league leaders with 35 goals in 10 games despite none from Alex Tanguay before Wednesday. He does, however, have nine assists, ranking second on the team behind Iginla (10).

Blackhawks' Koci on IR after fight
October 26th, 2007
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Blackhawks placed forward David Koci and defenseman Andrei Zyuzin on the injured reserve list on Friday. They also recalled center Dave Bolland from Rockford (AHL).
Koci, 26, left the Blackhawks' 3-1 loss to Boston in the first period, after breaking his nose. He had fought with the Bruins' 6-foot-9, 255-pound defenseman Zdeno Chara.
Koci (6-6, 238) had already injured the nose in Chicago's game at Toronto on October 20. He has no goals, but 24 penalty minutes, in seven games this season.
Zyuzin, 29, landed on the IR because of a strained muscle in his backside. He has one goal and one assist in seven games.
Bolland, 21, has scored four goals and one assist for Rockford. He made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks last season, playing one game on October 25. Bolland had 17 goals and 32 assists with Norfolk (AHL) in 2006-07.

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This "Black Friday," the traditional prime holiday shopping day, nearly half of rewards card holders are not planning to hit stores or online retailers according to the latest Capital One (NYSE: COF) Rewards Barometer ( www.capitalone.com), a quarterly survey among American consumers that focuses on how they accumulate and redeem credit card rewards. However, that doesn't necessarily mean holiday shopping budgets are down as more than half of rewards card holders' (58 percent) budgets remain the same as last year and 14 percent are planning to spend more this year. Credit card rewards can help supplement these holiday budgets, yet only 18 percent are taking advantage of redeeming rewards for gifts.
"Consumers' shopping habits are really changing. They 're becoming more accustomed to sales all the time, every day—not simply using coupons or on specific dates anymore," says Jacqui Stafford, style expert and author of The Wow Factor: Insider Style Secrets for Every Body and Every Budget. "You really don't need to be a bargain hunter to score some fabulous deals this year."
Holiday Spending: Men versus Women More than one-third of respondents said the economy has changed how they use rewards, especially women with 23 percent reporting that they now use rewards to offset essential expenses like gas and groceries. Further, this holiday season, more women plan on spending less than the prior year in comparison to men (24 percent vs. 18 percent). Thinking ahead to post-holiday shopping bills, men and women are on the same page with one-quarter planning to use their cash rewards earned from holiday shopping as a credit on their statement to offset holiday expenses.
Holiday TravelThe hustle and bustle of holiday travel is the ideal time to take advantage of rewards, but more than a quarter of those who tried to redeem rewards for travel were unable to do so with blackout dates to blame. With 24 percent of respondents still undecided as to whether they'll plan to travel this holiday season, these blackout dates as well as rewards restrictions may prevent their last minute travel. In fact, more than half would consider traveling during peak holiday periods (e.g. within 1-2 days of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years), if guaranteed to be able to use rewards for their trip. Interestingly, nearly 80 percent of respondents haven't even tried to redeem for holiday travel this year, with many saying that they thought it was too much of a hassle (28 percent) or they didn't have enough time to plan (29 percent)."Traveling during the holidays can certainly be stressful, but using your rewards to book your trip doesn't have to be a hassle," said Amy Lenander, Vice President of Rewards Programs at Capital One. "Not all rewards programs are alike and blackout dates are not universal, so look at the fine print for restrictions to make sure you are able to travel any time you want." Rewards TrendsAdditional trends stemming from the Rewards Barometer this quarter include:
- Since 2011, the top three credit card rewards have been cash, gift cards and domestic airline tickets.
- Since the spring of 2012, 40 percent of rewards card holders consistently reported they prefer a simple rewards card offering the same rate across all purchases.
- Approximately one-third of consumers remain unaware if they are charged a fee or additional expenses when using rewards to book travel.
- Over the last year, approximately half of rewards card holders remain unaware that they may be charged foreign transaction fees for purchases made while traveling abroad.
- Redeem for Gifts: Rewards can help ease the financial burden of the holiday shopping season so join nearly half of rewards card holders who are considering redeeming rewards for gifts this year.
- Can't Decide, Get them a Gift Card: For family or friends that are difficult to shop for, use rewards for a gift card so they can get what they truly want this holiday season. Of those who plan to redeem for holiday gifts, 58 percent plan to redeem for gift cards rather than merchandise.
- Book Now, Redeem Later: If you plan to use your Capital One rewards card for all your holiday travel, you can retroactively redeem rewards online and on your Smartphone within 90 days of your travel purchase with Purchase Eraser.
- Book Travel without Hassles: Get a rewards card that offers the flexibility to redeem rewards for future travel without fear of blackout and expiration dates. One quarter of rewards card holders surveyed plan to use the rewards earned from holiday shopping toward spring or summer travel in 2013.

Honduras hit back at claims made by France coach Didier Deschamps on Thursday that they are overly-physical, believing the accusations are deliberately designed to influence referees against them.
Midfielder Roger Espinoza insisted the central Americans, who face 1998 champions France in their World Cup opener at Porte Alegre on Sunday, are not an aggressive side.
The Wigan player suggested that the giants of the tournament have a hidden agenda.
"As Honduras is a small team, they say that we are going to be tough and with this they are inciting the referees to focus on Honduras and give us the cards," said Espinoza.
"I think that we play just like other teams do, we are not aggressive."
Deschamps said Tuesday that tough tackling was a hallmark of Honduras.
"They have the aptitude of physical combat. It's one of their strengths, but it's not the only one," said Deschamps.
"I wouldn't want to reduce Honduras to just this. They do have players of quality."
Honduras drew their last World Cup warm-up match 0-0 against England in Miami on Saturday in a game which featured seven yellow cards and a red for Honduras' Brayan Beckeles.
"Honduras were quite physical and it was one of the most frustrating games I have been involved in for a long time," said England coach Roy Hodgson.
After facing France on Sunday in their Group E opener, Honduras will take on Ecuador and and Switzerland.

Operation Sonnenblume
Operation Sonnenblume (Sunflower) was the dispatch of German troops (the Afrika Korps) to North Africa in February 1941, during the Second World War. The German troops reinforced the remaining Italian forces in Libya after the Italian 10th Army was destroyed by British attacks during Operation Compass. The order for the operation was issued by the German Armed Forces High Command (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, OKW) to Army High Command (Oberkommando des Heeres, OKH) and Air Force High Command (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe, OKL) on 6 February 1941. Two days later, the first units departed Naples for Africa and arrived on 11 February. On 14 February, the first units of the 5th Light Division (later renamed the 21st Panzer Division) arrived in Tripoli, Libya. These units were the Reconnaissance Battalion 3 and Tankhunter Unit 39, which were sent immediately to the front line at Sirte.
Directive 22[edit]
In early 1941, after the big British and Commonwealth victory in Cyrenaica, the military position was soon reversed. The best-equipped units in XIII Corps went to Greece as part of Operation Lustre in the Battle of Greece. Adolf Hitler responded to the Italian disaster with Directive 22 (11 January) ordering Unternehmen Sonnenblume (Operation Sunflower), the deployment of a new Afrika Korps (DAK) to Libya, as a Sperrverband (barrier detachment). The DAK had fresh troops with better tanks, equipment, air support under the command of Generalleutnant Erwin Rommel.[1][2]
Afrika Korps[edit]
The 5. leichte-Division 's (mot) (5th Light Division) tank regiment—5. Panzer-Regiment—arrived in North Africa aboard two convoys between 8 and 10 March 1941.[3] The regiment of 155 tanks consisted of 25 Panzer I, 45 Panzer II, 61 Panzer III, 17 Panzer IV, three kleine Panzerbefehlswagen and four Panzerbefehlswagen.[4] While the tanks were being loaded onto Italian cargo ships in the port of Naples, the cargo ship Leverkusen caught fire and sank, resulting in the loss of ten Panzer III and three Panzer IV. Ten replacement Panzer III, a mixture of Ausf F and G models, were requisitioned from 6. Panzer-Regiment and three new Panzer IV Ausf E were shipped to Libya between 10 and 14 April and reached the regiment on 29 April.[5] A further 25 Panzer I Ausf A, to reinforce the regiment arrived in Tripoli on 10 May.[4]
The establishment of the 5th Light Division in North Africa was,
- 50 Panzer I
- 45 Panzer II
- 71 Panzer III
- 20 Panzer IV
- 3 kleine Panzerbefehlswagen
- 4 Panzerbefehlswagen
All the tanks in 5. Panzer-Regiment were still painted dark grey (RAL 7021 dunkelgrau) and carried the 3. Panzerdivision 's divisional emblem (inverted Y with two strikes)[6]
8. Panzer-Regiment was part of the 10. Panzerdivision before being reassigned on 18 January, to the new 15. Panzerdivision, which was created from the 33. Infanteriedivision. 8. Panzer-Regiment was shipped across to Libya in three convoys between 25 April and 6 May 1941. The regiment had 146 tanks strong, consisting of 45 Panzer II, 71 Panzer III, 20 Panzer IV, four kleine Panzerbefehlswagen and six Panzerbefehlswagen. By 28 May, the assembly of the regiment was complete.[7]
Tank modifications[edit]
After the Battle of France (10 May – 25 June 1940), the Heer began to increase the amount of armour on tanks. New tanks were built with more armour and existing tanks had extra armour plates bolted on and most of the tanks from the 5. and 8. Panzer-Regiments shipped across to North Africa during Operation Sonnenblume were of this type. The tanks were also modified for desert conditions, with better engine air cooling, by increasing the speed of the radiator and cutting holes into the hatch covers of the rear decks on the tanks.[8]
Axis supplies came from Europe and deliveries to Libya were then moved by road; after Operation Compass (December 1940 – February 1941), only Tripoli remained, with a maximum capacity of four troopships or five cargo ships at once, about 46,000 tonnes (45,000 long tons) of freight per month. Tripoli to Benghazi was 970 kilometres (600 mi) along the Via Balbia, which was only half-way to Alexandria. The road could flood, was vulnerable to the Desert Air Force (DAF) and alternative desert tracks increased vehicle wear. The Axis advance of 480 kilometres (300 mi) to the Egyptian frontier in early 1941, increased the road transport distance to 1,800 kilometres (1,100 mi). Benghazi was captured in April but coastal shipping could only carry 15,000 tonnes (15,000 long tons) and the port was within range of the DAF. Tobruk could take about 1,500 tonnes (1,500 long tons) per day but lack of shipping made its capture irrelevant.[9]
A German motorized division needed 360 tonnes (350 long tons) per day and moving the supplies 480 kilometres (300 mi) took 1,170 2.0-tonne (2-long-ton) lorries.[10] With seven Axis divisions, air and naval units, 71,000 tonnes (70,000 long tons) of supplies per month were needed. (Vichy agreed to the use of Bizerta but no supplies moved through the port until late 1942.) From February–May 1941, a surplus of 46,000 tonnes (45,000 long tons) was delivered; attacks from Malta had some affect but in May, the worst month for ship losses, 91% of supplies arrived. Lack of transport in Libya left German supplies in Tripoli and the Italians had only 7,000 lorries for deliveries to 225,000 men. A record amount of supplies arrived in June but at the front, shortages worsened.[11]
British defensive preparations[edit]
In February 1941, the British defeated the 10th Army and 5° Squadra and the British government decided to hold the area with minimal forces and send the remainder to Greece. The 6th Australian Division was up to strength but the vehicles of the 7th Armoured Division were worn out. The 2nd New Zealand Division had two brigades available and the 6th Infantry Division had no artillery and was training for operations in the Dodecanese. The 7th Australian Division and 9th Australian Division were poorly-equipped and still training, a Polish Brigade Group was short of equipment and the 2nd Armoured Division had lost two armoured regiments to the 7th Armoured Division, which were also worn out. The rest of the division had two cruiser regiments with worn-out tracks and two light tank regiments. The commander had died suddenly and was replaced by Major-General Michael Gambier-Parry.[12]
The 9th Australian Division and the 2nd Armoured Division (minus a brigade group sent to Greece) were left to garrison Cyrenaica under Cyrenaica Command (Lieutenant-General Henry Maitland Wilson), despite the inadequacy of the force if the Germans sent troops to Libya. Command in Egypt was taken over by Lieutenant-General Richard O'Connor and the XIII Corps HQ was replaced by the HQ of the 1st Australian Corps (Lieutenant-General Thomas Blamey). It was believed by Wavell and the GHQ in Egypt that the Germans could not be ready until May, by when the 2nd Armoured Division tanks would have been overhauled and two more divisions and support troops, particularly artillery, would be ready along with the 9th Australian Division. The 2nd Armoured Division had a reconnaissance regiment, the 3rd Armoured Brigade had an understrength light tank regiment and one equipped with captured Fiat M13/40 tanks. The cruiser regiment arrived in late March, after many break downs en route, which brought the division up to an understrength armoured brigade.[13][a]
Attempts to open Benghazi were frustrated by lack of transport, poor weather and German bombing and mining of Tobruk from early February. Attacks on shipping in Benghazi harbour led the British to abandon attempts to use it to supply the force in Cyrenaica and to remove the mass of supplies and equipment captured during Operation Compass. Lack of transport made it impossible to supply a garrison west of El Agheila, at the most favourable position for a defensive line and restricted the 2nd Armoured Division to movement between supply dumps, reducing its limited mobility further. In February, Lieutenant-General Philip Neame took over Cyrenaica Command and predicted that the armoured division would lose many tanks through breakdowns if it had to move far. Neame recommended a proper armoured division, two infantry divisions and adequate air support to hold the area and was told that there was little to sent and not before April. In early March the 9th Australian Division began to relieve the 6th Australian Division at Mersa Brega for Greece, which demonstrated the difficulty of tactical moves with insufficient transport and it was withdrawn north of Benghazi.[14]
There were no positions for infantry between El Agheila and Benghazi, being open and good tank country and Neame was ordered to conserve the tanks units and retire as far as Benghazi if pressed, to abandon it if necessary and hold the high ground nearby for as long as possible, with no prospect of reinforcement before May. Neame was to conserve the force and inflict losses and delay if attacked. Infantry and artillery would fight a delaying action up the Via Balbia towards Benghazi and then the defiles near Er Regima and Barce; the tanks would move to Antelat to operate against the flank and rear of an attacker moving up the road or across the desert to Tobruk, falling back on a flank if necessary. On 20 March, the 2nd Armoured Division took over from the Australians, who moved back to Tocra, near Er Regima. The force was to use depots at Msus, Tecnis, Martuba, Mechili and Tmimi, El Magrun and Bengahzi as a substitute for lorry-borne supply. The 3rd Indian Motor Brigade arrived in late March, with lorries but no tanks, artillery, anti-tank guns and only half its wireless sets and was based at Martuba, ready to move towards Derna, Barce or Mechili.[15]
Axis offensive[edit]
On 24 March, Rommel sent a reconnaissance patrol to assess the defensive positions of the Western Desert Force (WDF) at El Agheila. Experienced units had been withdrawn from the WDF and sent to re-equip in the delta or to Greece. Rommel assembled his mobile forces (less than a full division) and ordered a feinting attack, supported by the 10th Army. Rommel went against the orders of his nominal Italian commanders and German High Command (OKW) to stay on the defensive until all of the Afrika Korps had arrived and was ready. The British had learned of this via Ultra intercepts and the improvised offensive caught them understrength and off-guard. Rommel disguised a number of lorries with cardboard, to make his armoured forces appear larger[citation needed]; this and dust clouds deliberately raised behind vehicles, bluffed the British into believing that they were outnumbered and they retired from El Agheila. On 31 March, Mersa El Brega was captured and the British withdrew to Agedabya.[16]
Despite orders to halt from the Italian and German headquarters, Rommel pursued the British, dividing his force into three columns.[17] One pursued the British along the Via Balbia while two drove inland, attempting to cut off the British retreat. On 4 April, Benghazi fell, yielding substantial supplies to the Germans. Neame and O'Connor (the latter brought to the front as an adviser) attempted to reorganise but on 7 April, they and temporary Brigadier John Combe were captured by a German reconnaissance patrol. The next day, Gazala was occupied.[18] Rommel now hoped that he could pursue Cyrenaica Command across Egypt and take Alexandria but his overstretched supply lines, opposition from OKW and the Tobruk garrison made this impossible. The first Italo-German offensive had been a tactical success but supply constraints made it impossible to advance further than the Egyptian border. As long as the port of Tobruk was held by the British, the Axis position on the border was unstable and a prolonged siege of Tobruk began, while the British rebuilt their strength in Egypt.[19]
Siege of Tobruk[edit]
Tobruk was defended by a force of some 25,000 Eighth Army troops, well stocked with supplies and linked to Egypt by the Royal Navy. The garrison had armoured cars and captured Italian tanks, which could raid Axis supply convoys as they passed Tobruk for the frontier, which made impossible an Axis invasion of Egypt.[20] Rommel immediately attempted to take the port but the 9th Australian division (General Leslie Morshead), defended the port resolutely. The Italians were slow to provide blueprints for the port fortifications and several attacks were repulsed. After three weeks Rommel suspended the attacks and resumed the siege.[21] Italian infantry divisions took up positions about the fortress, while the bulk of the Afrika Korps maintained a mobile position south and east of the port.[22]

- ^ Most of the British tanks were worn out and the Italian tanks were slow and unreliable. The Support Group (roughly the size a brigade at full establishment) had only a motor battalion, a 25-pounder field regiment, an anti-tank battery and a machine-gun company. The division was short of transport and its workshops were understaffed and lacked spare parts. Two Brigades of the 9th Australian Division were swapped with two from the 7th Australian Division, which had less training, equipment and transport.[23]

* Dollar on defensive as US government stays shut, debtceiling looms
* Obama meets congressional leaders, but no progress made
* Stocks, bonds see silver lining in central bank stimulus
By Wayne Cole
SYDNEY, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar sagged toeight-month lows on Thursday as the U.S. government shutdowndragged on with no end in sight, though share markets foundcomfort in expectations major central banks might now have tokeep monetary policy super-loose for longer.
Also helping sentiment was an upbeat survey on China's hugeservices sector, an antidote to a disappointing report onmanufacturing earlier in the week.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan swung 1 percent higher, with Taiwan, thePhilippines, Indonesia and India all sporting gains.
Japan's Nikkei recovered its early losses, whileAustralian shares added 0.5 percent. Futures for the S&P500 were barely lower while spreadbetters predictedsteady starts for bourses in the UK, Germany and France.
The resilience was impressive given a meeting between U.S.President Barack Obama and congressional leaders producednothing but blame and counter-blame, dimming hopes of an earlyend to the budget impasse.
So far, investors have been wagering that a deal would bereached in time to avoid lasting damage to the economy, althoughanother fight over the debt ceiling still looms.
The ceiling is far more important than the shutdown since itcould lead to an unprecedented default by the United States, anoutcome the market assumes is unthinkable.
"To the extent that we have never been in a situation wherethe debt ceiling has not been raised, there is a high degree ofuncertainty over how events will transpire," said Elliot Clarke,an economist at Westpac in Sydney.
"That said, what is plainly evident is that a protractedstalemate would have a significant impact on the US economy."
Already one effect has been to further cloud the outlook forwhen the Federal Reserve will start scaling back itsasset-buying programme.
Eric Rosengren, head of the Federal Bank of Boston, said onWednesday that the government shutdown could further delay atapering because of a lack of official data on the economy.
That only amplified the startling swing in market thinkingabout the future course of U.S. interest rates.
Just a month ago, the futures market had predictedthe Fed funds rate would be up around 1.465 percent by the endof 2015. Now it implies a rate of just 0.745 percent.
That in turn has helped drag yields on the benchmark 10-yearU.S. Treasury note down to 2.626 percent, from aSeptember peak of 2.99 percent.
In contrast to the increasingly dovish outlook for U.S.rates, the European Central Bank (ECB) on Wednesday leftinterest rates unchanged and gave no hint it was consideringfurther easing.
The dollar's diminishing yield advantage saw it peel off toa new eight-month trough against a basket of currencies at79.827. The euro in turn climbed to an eight-month highat $1.3625, bringing in sight the 2013 peak of $1.3711.
The dollar did gain some traction on the yen, but onlybecause Japanese investors were selling their currency foreuros. Thus while the dollar steadied at 97.65 yen, theeuro rose more than half a yen to 132.86.
A notable mover was the New Zealand dollar, which rallied after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand said larger increases ininterest rates would be needed if new limits on mortgage lendingfail to cool the country's housing market.
The kiwi jumped to $0.8308, pulling well away froma low of $0.8194 plumbed on Wednesday.
Trading was very choppy in commodity markets, though the lower dollar tended to support prices.
Gold steadied at $1,310.92 an ounce, havingbounced from a low of $1,278.24 on Wednesday. Copper futures held their gains to stand at $7,270.50 a tonne.
Oil prices edged off after a jump on Wednesday. Brent crudefor November eased 41 cents to $108.78 a barrel, whileU.S. crude slipped 47 cents to $103.63.

The Sidewinders (later the Sand Rubies) were a rock band from Tucson, Arizona, who released two major-label albums and scored two radio hits in the US before a lawsuit forced a change of name. Another album was released on a major label but by that time the band had nearly broken up. Since then the band has reunited and dissolved several times.
The Sidewinders formed in the spring of 1985 by guitarist Rich Hopkins and vocalist David Slutes.[1] The group released its first record, Cuacha!, in 1988, and subsequently signed to RCA/Mammoth Records, where they released two full-length albums, 1989's Witchdoctor and 1990's Auntie Ramos' Pool Hall. Witchdoctor cracked the lower echelons of the Billboard 200 at No. 169,[2] on the strength of two modern rock radio hits; the band scored exposure on MTV and VH1 and embarked on a worldwide tour,[3] but the band's career was soon sidelined due to legal problems. In 1991, a North Carolina cover band known as Sidewinder sued the group over the use of its name, and it took two years to sort out the proceedings and secure the release of their next album, now under the name Sand Rubies.[4]
As the Sand Rubies, they released an album on Polydor/Atlas in 1993; at one point, Pearl Jam served as their opening act.[5] However, due to attrition over the period of legal troubles, the rhythm section of the band had departed, and the Sand Rubies dissolved during a tour in 1993,[1][3] just as two other Arizona rock bands, Gin Blossoms and The Refreshments, were attracting mainstream attention.
A few one-off shows were given in 1995 and 1996 before an official Sand Rubies reunion was announced in October 1996.[1] A show at SXSW followed in 1997, as did a new album, Return of the Living Dead, in 1998. They were able to independently release a best-of collection of tracks from their major label years entitled The Sidewinders Sessions, and an all-covers album, Release the Hounds, ensued in 1999 along with a tour of Europe.[1] The band broke up again, followed by short reunion stints in 2001-02 and 2006 to support renewed local touring and special rereleases.[1] The band announced in 2011 that both the Sand Rubies and the Sidewinders would disband.[6]
A reunion is scheduled for the band in mid-March 2013 in Austin, TX at SXSW (South By South West.). Slutes, Hopkins, Andree will be joined by Gene Ruley on guitar and George Duron (Dumptruck, Sally Crewe, Doug Gillard Electric) on drums.
Lead singer David Slutes and current Today show host Savannah Guthrie dated in the late '90s.

Surfing dogs fetch a look at annual event
Dozer didn't disappoint, either.
While his first ride came to an end when a wave upended him, the next two were virtually flawless as his squat body rode all the way to the shore, his bulging eyes scanning the crowd imperiously.
When it came time for the awards, however, Dozer didn't walk away with the prize. Kalani, a golden retriever, took first place in the large-dog category and Stanley took second. Not surprisingly, Buddy won first place in the small-dog competition.
Hokstad was a bit disappointed, but Dozer took it stoically enough.
"All he cares about is his next meal," Hokstad said.

An L.A. teen's alleged use of the N-word ended in his assault Monday, according to reports, after Kanye West allegedly attacked him for uttering the racially charged phrase in front of his fiancee Kim Kardashian. While the exact nature of what happened is still in dispute, one thing is for certain: The teen could have been excused for thinking the use of the term would fly with the couple since West is a frequent proponent of the "N-word," dropping it 36 times on his last album alone!
According to published lyrics from West's "Yeezus," the 10 songs on the album have 36 mentions of the word "n***a," with just two songs having no mentions and one, "New Slaves," having ten. And this album is hardly the exception. One of West's biggest hits is 2011's "N****s In Paris."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Racist Rants
Rapper Chuck D actually called West out on his controversial use of the N-word last spring. The hip hop icon complained about being called an N-word by a white fan while overseas, and tweeted that he was constantly "telling these folks that we are African NOT Ngrs In Paris … why I gotta travel PlanetEarth cleaning sht from USA?"
A few months later, however, a clearly unfazed West was widely slammed on Twitter for dropping countless N- and F-words during his performance of "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves" at the MTV VMAs.

Still, despite his familiarity with the controversial term supposedly hearing it secondhand was enough to set him off on the alleged attack Monday afternoon, according to reports.
Do you think West is a hypocrite? Or was he rightfully angry and defending his fiancee? Let us know in the comments!
