The pattern I made comes with letters that indicate how to assemble but just in case I also added steps and tips.
- 1 yard of fabric for the body ( I used cream color fleece)
- 1/2 yard of fabric for the color details ( I used light brown)
- 1 set of animal eyes 18mm
- small piece of felt for the nose
- Stuff material ( I used polyester filling )
- Sewing machine
- Pattern
Step 1: Template
Then you need to trace all of your pieces on the fabric.
For all of those that say you need 2, 1 reverse; after tracing the front, turn the pattern and trace the second piece.
Step 2: Sewing the head
Repeat the step and make sure the color of the ears is on the inside part.
After attaching the back, proceed to sew the moth, first to the head piece and after that sew the front.
Step 3: Sewing the body
Sew the arms before attaching to the front body, pin the parts to make sure everything fits properly.
For the feet repeat the process and pin all the pieces together before sewing, sometimes it can be an overflow of fabric in this area depending on the kind of fabric you are using.
Make sure you assemble the tail and place it before closing the back.
Hi I have cut out all the pieces have managed to tack the head together and that seems ok. But having trouble with the legs and feet. On the pattern it say's cut 2 (1 reverse) does this mean cut 2 from pattern and 2 reverse bit confused about this any help would be grateful. Need to get this done by next week as my Grandson is due to be born then. Thanks
I'm having trouble too!!! HEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!
I struggled with the instructions a bit and I think that I will write out my own for my next one. I sewed the whole bear by hand...just for fun:) I think he turned out pretty cute. He's for my grandson! (I made the whole bear one color/pattern so it would be easier. Thought I'd play it safe to start!)
If you have a craft store like michael's or joann's I know they sell whats called animal eyes and noses in the doll making section. They are the ones with the Washers for a backing. Thats what I have used for my bears.
I would love to see photo and instructions too, having trouble with the arms
I would love to see your instructions. I'm having trouble with this pattern. Could I see your instructions please?
como pego la cabeza al cuerpo si la costura es por dentro?
The first one ended up pretty good, my daughter and I love him. Then, I tried a smaller one, it was much more difficult, especially attaching the head to the body, but I'm also satisfied with the result. For the next time I will get bigger eyes.
This seems so hard!I have got all the pieces but cant quite get it!Still going to try though because the teddy bear looks so awesome!
hi Charlene, I have been totally dumbfounded with the instructions for the feet how on earth did you do it?
I make bears but I call them Forever Teddy Bears
I put a picture and poem on my bears that I make and my pattern looks so much easier than this one.
This bear wasn't easy and I'm a second year Fashion Design student. I sewed the front of the head to the back upside down and then I messed up the feet but eventually managed to fix everything. The instructions are not very good and the feet pieces don't match up so you have to cut the excess off. Here is the end result anyway:
Yes, and ritten is written written not ritten!
How big is the finished bear?
My husband is leaving the navy soon, so my son made this from one of this old uniform shirts,
this is the first time he has used my sewing machine, he has had great fun making this! thank you for the pattern!!!!
so about how big does this bear end up being? :)
i dont sew much and this is my first attempt how difficult or easy is this pattern
How big is this bear exactly? A full yard of fabric seems like a lot to me.
I have found I can use 1/2 yard of fabric for the main pieces with a little left over if I place the pieces right.
Here are a couple more I did for a couple of guys who wanted something special for special ladies in their lives.
Just wanted to say thanks for this wonderful bear. I am now working on my 4th bear and have plans for 2 more after this. Only suggestion I might make is to leave an opening in the back to pull everything out by and that way you can sew the head on with a machine if you want. This is a picture of one of the ones I already did. I used felt for the eyes and think you can get a lot more expression with it and it's cheaper to use. Thanks again for a wonderful pattern and tutorial.
Love the pattern! Made mine for a girl at work who is having a baby.

A 96-year-old man, who lived alone, was killed at his second floor flat in Nagpada late on Friday.
The police said that the body of the man, Abdul Hamid Ansari, was found by his grandson who visited the flat at Yakub building in the Madanpura neighbourhood on Saturday morning. They said that the hands and feet were tied and he died of suffocation.
Police said that Ansari's hands had been tied with handkerchiefs and legs had been tied with a piece of cloth. The robbers had stuffed a cloth in his mouth and had placed him on the bed with his face down. A police officer said that probably the accused did not intend to kill him but since his mouth was stuffed with a cloth, he died due to suffocation.
There was no evidence of forced entry into the flat. But the house was ransacked and this suggests that robbery was the motive, the police said.
Family members and neighbours told the police the man was fond of high-end phones. He possessed five phones, but all of them were missing from the house.
"It appears that the attackers also tried to open a cupboard where there was cash amounting to Rs6.25 lakh. The cash was found to be untouched. The family was unsure whether any jewellery was missing," said a police officer.
The police said Wahid, 22, visited his grandfather daily. When he got to the house at about 8.30am, he found him lying motionless and called his parents.
NK Mehetar, senior police inspector, "There was no sign of forced entry and this suggests that the accused may have been known to Ansari. We are inquiring into whether he had any enmity with anyone and the possibility that someone may have tried to settle old scores over money."
Ansari has three sons and three daughters, all of whom are married. One of the sons is abroad and another retired as a headmaster of a Urdu school in Pydhonie recently.
A family member said, "Post 9pm, he did not allow anyone in the house after that as he used to live alone. This has been done by someone who is known to him."

Yet transplants are difficult to obtain: a mere 17,000 donated kidneys were available for transplant last year, while the number of patients on the transplant waiting list currently exceeds 85,000, according to the Organ Procurement ant Transplant Network.
Roughly 350,000 patients are reliant on kidney dialysis, Roy explained, which comes at a tremendous cost. The Medicare system alone spends $25 billion on treatments for kidney failure more than 6 percent of the total budget while the disease affects only 1 percent of Medicare recipients, he said. That cost includes almost $75,000 per patient each year for dialysis, according to the U.S. Renal Data System.
Dialysis also takes a human toll. A typical dialysis schedule is three sessions per week, for 3 to 5 hours per session, in which blood is pumped through an external circuit for filtration. This is exhausting for patients and only replaces 13 percent of kidney function, Roy said. As a result, only 35 percent of patients survive for more than 5 years.
With the limited supply of donors, that means thousands of patients die each year waiting for a kidney.
The implantable device aims to eradicate that problem. The two-stage system uses a hemofilter to remove toxins from the blood, while applying recent advances in tissue engineering to grow renal tubule cells to provide other biological functions of a healthy kidney. The process relies on the body's blood pressure to perform filtration without needing pumps or an electrical power supply.
The project exemplifies the many efforts under way at UCSF to build collaborations across scientific disciplines that accelerate the translation of academic research into real solutions for patients, according to Mary Anne Koda-Kimble, PharmD, dean of the UCSF School of Pharmacy.
"This is a perfect example of the work we are doing at UCSF to address some of the most critical medical issues of our time, both

Everyone should know that the Euro brands are tops in the dirt, most of the bikes I see in the woods are orange.
And the others are guys who cant afford a ktm.
Still, for a cheap rugged mild dual sport, the Japanese could do a lot better, just by building the right size motor with a sensible transmission, or even keeping what they had and updating it.
All the 250's are fine, except the XT250 maybe, but the lack of mid size bikes kills them.
What with all the Japanese dealers around (less then there used to be) they sell more bikes over all, which ends up having more cheap used Japanese bikes on the market, and they may be a better buy then a used abused and raced KTM.
We want choices, not just the fastest bike in the dirt.
We want something that can do 70 mph for an hour without exploding or needing an oil change, but is good in thick sand, that can loft the front wheel over something, that is going to start and run most of the time with little else then oil changes, that you can get used cheap, and that does not weigh 400 pounds or more.
The guys that want to go really fast will always pick a Euro brand, the ones that want to get there and back without any fuss might pick something else. Those people now have one choice, an old design DRZ and a pocket full of sprockets.

It looks like an elaborate fountain. Water gurgles through a series of red-tiled pools, spillways and chutes within sight of the pedestrian walkway that connects the bluffs of Santa Monica with the Santa Monica Pier.
The $12-million contraption is at the forefront of efforts to curb the torrent of pollutants that threaten the world's oceans. Sitting near the mouth of the city's largest storm drain, it collects and treats the frothy flow that trickles out of a seaside metropolis day after day from sprinklers, washed cars and drained pools, bearing with it cat and dog waste, spilled engine oil, lawn chemicals, brake dust, bacteria and viruses.
The liquid waste, called "urban slobber," is filtered; sterilized with ultraviolet light; and recycled to irrigate Palisades Park and a city cemetery and to flush the toilets at police headquarters. Styrofoam cups, plastic bags and other solid debris are scooped out and hauled to a landfill.
Yet such farsighted ingenuity remains the exception rather than the rule. SMURRF is the only urban-runoff recycling plant in the country. Efficient as it is, it captures a tiny fraction of the runoff flowing into California's coastal waters.
Urban runoff is the fastest-growing source of ocean pollution. The storm water discharge, combined with partially treated sewage, agricultural waste, and pollution from smokestacks and vehicle tailpipes, is changing the chemistry of the seas.
Industrial civilization is overloading the oceans with nutrients — compounds of nitrogen, carbon, iron and phosphorous. Algae, jellyfish and other primitive life-forms are thriving in this new environment, while corals, marine mammals and many fish species are struggling.
Scientists say society has only recently begun to grasp how what happens on land affects the sea. It has taken decades to get to this point, they say, and it could take just as long to reverse the trend.
"We have millions of people who live near the water and whose waste contributes to degrading the quality of coastal waters," said Dave Caron, a USC biological oceanographer. "It's only common sense that we should take care and treat this like it were our backyard."
Government and industry officials, with the benefit of scientific studies, can now pinpoint the multitude of pollution sources. They also know how to fix the problems, said Paul Faeth, executive vice president of the World Resources Institute in Washington, D.C. "We've got the tools," he said, "but need the political will to get it done."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for instance, often has failed to enforce the Clean Water Act's requirement to stop pollutants from entering U.S. coastal waters deemed impaired, except when forced to do so by federal courts.
Drainage into the Santa Monica Bay and other Southern California waters is regulated under a judge's orders to reduce the trash, bacteria and other contaminants.
Still, dozens of cities have spent years and more than $1 million battling compliance requirements in court. In the meantime, many of the simplest and least expensive cleanup methods have been ignored — including the use of street sweepers to follow trash trucks and scoop up spills.
With its civic image and tourist industry tied to picture-perfect beaches, Santa Monica didn't need a court order to tidy up its coastline.
SMURRF, which began operating five years ago, has already shown results. The big storm drain empties onto the sand next to the luxurious hotels Shutters on the Beach and Casa del Mar. The popular beach used to get failing grades from ocean monitoring groups because contaminated waters threatened public health.
Now, with SMURRF intercepting and treating the runoff, the beach gets mostly A's.
"This is incredibly important to Santa Monica," said Craig Perkins, the city's director of environmental and public works management. "We get 3 [million] to 5 million visitors a year. It's logical to assume that they would prefer the beaches and ocean are safe and clean."
Santa Monica diverts most of the flow that SMURRF can't handle to a sewage treatment plant. Still, there are limits to what the infrastructure can do. In heavy rainstorms, the runoff from storm drains can overwhelm treatment plants and risk spilling raw sewage. City engineers have to release these polluted floodwaters into the sea.

Private Companies Growing; Sales Growth Slowing
by Terri Eyden on printer friendly
Brian Hamilton, CEO of Sageworks, and Mark Jaffe, president of the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, discussed the newest data and trends related to America's private companies during the "Analyzing America's Private Companies" forum held at the Harvard Club in New York City October 4, 2012.
At the summit, Hamilton talked about the sales growth, profitability, and the significance of private businesses in the United States. Since private companies drive significantly more than 50 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) and 65 percent of new job creation in the United States, private company financial performance is a gauge of the health of the wider US economy.
Jaffe outlined the current environment for small businesses, access to credit, and jobs.
Private Company Sales Growth Slowing
Average annual sales growth for private companies has slowed to around 5.4 percent currently, from nearly 11 percent in January, and from around 8 percent last year, according to the Sageworks Private Company Indicator, a real-time measure based on financial statements filed in the most recent three months.
Hamilton expressed concern about this slowdown's effect on the job market in 2013. If companies weren't hiring when sales growth was really strong, Hamilton asked, what will they do now that sales are slowing down?
"The biggest issue for businesses right now is that they don't know what's going to happen on major fiscal issues that affect their businesses," he said. Hamilton urged Washington to create clear-cut policies on fiscal issues. The quality of the policies, Hamilton explained, is less important than the urgency with which the policies are implemented; the less uncertainty, the better.
Private Company Profit Margins Expand
Private companies in 2012 continue to strengthen their net profit margins, which on an average annual basis are now more than triple their rates during the depths of the recession. And average margins are more than three percentage points higher than before the recession.
The average annual net profit margin for US private companies that filed financial statements within the past three months is 9.1 percent, according to the Sageworks Private Company Indicator. Annual net margins averaged around 3 percent in February 2010 and 5.8 percent in August 2007.
Hamilton warned that profit margins will inevitably slow down if sales continue to slow. However, he explained that this would be a short-term situation because business owners are likely to cut costs to keep their cash flow stable and food on their tables.
About the data:
Sageworks possesses a proprietary database of privately-held company financial statements aggregated by industry. Each day, approximately 1,000 of these financial statements are collected by Sageworks from accounting firms, banks, and credit unions through a cooperative data model with Sageworks' clients. The data is segmented and can be queried by 1,200 industry codes, seventy financial metrics, company size, and geographic location.

Swimmer Torres Will Be Missed in London
In praise of this great Jewish competitor
Though undoubtedly poised for greatness, the 2012 U.S. Olympic Swim Team will be without an illustrious member of the Jewish sporting firmament. Veteran Dara Torres, whose father was Jewish and who has undergone formal conversion, failed last Monday to secure a berth for the games in London, missing out by less than a tenth of a second in the final heat of the trials for the fifty meter freestyle.
That loss in no way diminishes the magnitude of her accomplishments, which have earned her a spot in the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. Her return to peak form in Beijing four years ago at the age of 41 was a sensation, doubly impressive for a mother, and was crowned with two silver medals. As storied as her career has been, though, making the London-bound squad at the (by Olympic standards) senescent age of 45 would have once again rewritten our understanding of the body's capacity for transcending apparently insurmountable limits.
For the inveterate Jew-spotter, this is a comedown after 2008, a (forgive me) highwater mark for Jewish competitive swimming. That year's U.S. Olympic roster featured the Hyphenated Jew Crew of Ben Wildman-Tobriner and Garrett Weber-Gale, along with Jason Lezak, whose epochal anchor leg in the 4 X 100 medley relay guaranteed Michael Phelps his eighth gold medal of the games, eclipsing Jewish swim god Mark Spitz's old record of seven won in Munich. Lezak is now the only holdover of that trio, Weber-Gale having missed out on qualifying in his bid to go to London, and is hoping to reprise his success in the relay at the venerable age of thirty-six.
Just why Jews should excel in this particular sport, a seasonal pastime for most of us, is a bit of a mystery, our presumed ready access to swimming facilities a not altogether satisfying explanation. Perhaps it's the long, inspirational shadow cast by Spitz himself, though one wonders whether this accounted for Backstroke King Lenny Krayzelburg's early motivation, given his Odessan provenance. In any case, Spitz and Lezak et al. are sure to have their heirs among the various tadpoles and minnows being put through their paces at summer camp this July and August. Maybe it is the legacy of that great drive to re-acclimate Jews to wholesome, pastoral environments after our long immurement in the ghetto, a sentiment that found expression in Zionism as well as the blossoming of Yiddish-tinged vacation resorts in the Catskills. Nobody puts Baby in the Kiddie Pool.
Yet Torres carried a greater burden on her ample shoulders than personal ambition. For those in that borderland of early middle age—it's not precisely demarcated—with emerging paunch and more good intentions than energy, she represented the possibility of recapturing youthful vigor in later life. Torres' example is a stern rebuke to the lassitude of the middle years.
Admittedly, her Olympic dreams were kept alive by a team of trainers, physical therapists, coaches, nutritionists, and physicians working at full bore like an ICU staff. Nonetheless, it is her self-discipline that resonates for legions of weary and inert forty- and fifty-somethings: that allowing for time, we can redefine what our age entails; that given a rigorous schedule of physical activity and sufficient commitment, even a married, 43-year-old, chronically fatigued father of three—and I'll start right after Labor Day, I swear—could become, well, a slightly tauter, married, 43-year-old, chronically fatigued father of three.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. A restaurant that was damaged in a late November fire is continuing to pay employees, despite the fact that the restaurant is still closed for repairs.
A Nov. 30 fire at the Firebirds restaurant in the Ballantyne area caused $200,000 worth of damage.
On Thursday, representatives from the restaurant issued a press release announcing that in the spirit of the holiday season they would pay hourly employees their usual wages, plus compensation for lost tips.
Salaried managers will continue to receive their salary and benefits in full.
Crews have been working around the clock to repair the restaurant and they anticipate reopening just after Christmas.

Bromium Research Reveals Insecurity in Existing Endpoint Protection Deployments
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CUPERTINO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/18/14 -- Bromium®, Inc., the pioneer of a new model of endpoint security using micro-virtualization, today announced the results of "Endpoint Protection: Attitudes and Opinions," a survey of more than 300 information security practitioners focused on endpoint threats and security. The results of the survey indicate that the overwhelming majority of information security professionals believe their existing security solutions are unable to prevent all endpoint infections, anti-virus solutions are ineffective against advanced targeted attacks and end users are their biggest security concern.
"The reality today is that existing endpoint protection, such as AV, is ineffective because it is based on an old-fashioned model of detecting and fixing attacks after they occur," said Rahul Kashyap, chief security architect, Bromium. "Sophisticated malware can easily evade detection to compromise endpoints, enabling cyber criminals to launch additional attacks that penetrate deeper into sensitive systems. Security professionals should explore a new paradigm of isolation-based protection to prevent these attacks." Key findings from "Endpoint Protection: Attitudes and Opinions" include: Endpoints are vulnerable - Nearly 85 percent of respondents believe that their existing security technology is unable to prevent endpoint infections. Despite the proliferation of layered security solutions, attacks continue to exploit common vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications, browsers and plug-ins. Anti-virus is ineffective - Nearly 85 percent of respondents believe that anti-virus solutions are unable to protect against advanced targeted attacks. Sophisticated malware is designed and tested to ensure it evades current security technologies, such as signature-based detection and behavioral analysis. End users are a weak link - Nearly 75 percent of respondents believe that end users are responsible for their biggest security headaches. End users become infected by drive-by downloads, malicious URLs and email attachments, impacting productivity as security teams work to resolve compromise or restrict access.
"Despite the challenge in protecting end users, it is encouraging so many security professionals are aware of the shortcomings of existing technology," continued Kashyap. "The recognition that the status quo is broken is the first step toward changing it for the better." Additional results from the survey found two-thirds (65 percent) of information security professionals are looking for endpoint protection that can stop both known and unknown threats. Further, three-quarters (75 percent) stated they would sleep better at night knowing a user could click on anything at any time without risk of infection.

About Bromium, Inc.Bromium is re-inventing enterprise security with its powerful new technology, micro-virtualization, which was designed to protect businesses from advanced malware, while simultaneously empowering users and delivering unmatched threat intelligence to IT. Unlike traditional security methods, which rely on complex and ineffective detection techniques, Bromium protects against malware from the Web, email or USB devices, by automatically isolating each user-task at the endpoint in a hardware-isolated micro-VM, preventing theft or damage to any enterprise resource. Bromium's technological innovations have earned the company numerous industry awards including being named as a CNBC Disruptor and a Gartner Cool Vendor for 2013. Bromium counts a rapidly growing set of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies as customers, including NYSE and BlackRock.

Nov 24, 2012Be warned though, this is a very addictive game, and it could spoil your previous favourite shooter with its incredible sense of scale. It's astonishing to see a free to play game deliver such a polished package, that also breaks new technological boundaries.
Dec 20, 2012I'll say again what I said at the beginning: Planetside 2 is a downright amazing game, especially for a Free to Play title.
Feb 19, 2013Planetside 2 is a good free-to-play, strong functional and very funny, which does not envy anything to the founders of the first-person shooter genre.
Jan 28, 2013Forget about AAA-Games… Here comes Planetside 2! Epic battles, beautiful graphics and catchy incidental music add up into one of the best MMOFPS experiences to date.
Jan 24, 2013An astonishing technological and gameplay accomplishment, Planetside 2 leverages every ounce of today's broadband and processing power to deliver war on a truly epic scale. [Feb 2013, p.70]
Jan 16, 2013Playing solo? Dock ten points. Otherwise, this is one of the online PC games for thrills. [Feb 2013, p.91]
Dec 6, 2012A really well done game, with very rich and deep gameplay. The enormous battles, the good graphics and the rewarding mechanics make this game a must have. It costs nothing and the freemium model is not pushy like in some other titles, letting the game be satisfying per se. Planetside 2 may initially be a little difficult and will scare some players, but if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded.
Dec 6, 2012PlanetSide 2 will make your heart pound. It will make you feel childlike, game-induced euphoria. In a sea of FPS copy-cats, it's a novel and refreshing experience.
Dec 2, 2012Massive in scope without sacrificing strategy or teamplay, PlanetSide 2 shows us what only PC gaming is capable of. [Dec 2012, p.66]
Dec 1, 2012The scale of PlanetSide 2's battles is often breathtaking, as lines of tanks fire at bases while aircraft light up the sky and hundreds of players fill the scene with healing beams and lethal weapons fire.
Nov 30, 2012As a mix of shooter and MMO, PlanetSide 2 is nothing short of a triumph: not quite the best of both worlds, but certainly the best attempt anyone has ever made to fuse them together. Alone, it's worth checking out just to witness its epic scale for yourself - and with the right friends by your side, PlanetSide 2 is an unforgettable experience.
Nov 30, 2012It still needs some work, but I'm very impressed with the end result. If you've got a powerful PC and a desire to bring some real tactics and organization to your team-based FPS fighting, then this game is a must-try. And with no material cost to get started, all you have to lose is the time it takes to download, patch, and give it a shot.
Nov 28, 2012PlanetSide 2 shows the PC off. From the gorgeous lighting and huge draw distances, to the intense, multiplayer battles. It's based on something old, but that was so far ahead of its time that even now the template feels new. Exciting. It feels like the next generation has just landed.
Nov 27, 2012For those with the machine to handle it, PlanetSide 2 is never anything less than staggering. On your own, it's a spectacle. Stand far enough back and you can almost take it all in, but there's just too much there to focus on. With teammates, the picture comes into glorious focus.
Nov 20, 2012A game that changes the standard by which FPSs are measured.
Feb 4, 2013It might look overly complicated, but PlanetSide 2 is nothing more than your average class-based, objective-oriented competitive FPS. What makes it stand apart from other F2P games (aside from the huge servers, of course) is the co-operation factor with other players. [February 2013]
Jan 23, 2013A unique piece of beautiful and thrilling massive scale war. It's not for the lone warrior, but with a few friends or a larger outfit the battles become larger than life. Long term, some goals requiring and rewarding longer planning and actual defending your conquests are needed to keep things fresh, just farming certificates and unlocks goes only so far. [Jan 2013]
Dec 12, 2012Making good on the aspirations of its predecessor, PlanetSide 2's vision of large-scale warfare is the most exuberantly realized yet. And with a payment model a good deal more generous than the 14 day trial teased by Everquest all those years ago, there's certainly little reason not to give it a go.

Dec 1, 2012Frustrating and not fun describes my initial reaction to this game. First and foremost is the learning curve. from the start you spawn in theFrustrating and not fun describes my initial reaction to this game. First and foremost is the learning curve. from the start you spawn in the middle of a fight with nothing telling you what your objectives are, or even where your teammates are. Should you be unfortunate enough to spawn in the middle of a tank fight (as was my first experience) you feel helpless as you die, respawn, and die again as soon as you respawn. An in-game "Newbie" area, some kind of zone where you go only when you first start a character would be greatly appreciated as throughout my first hour of gameplay I was consistantly pitted against players of level 38 or higher. The extremely large playing area makes snipers and tanks gods on the ground. I have not been able to fly any of the aircraft, yet because everytime I spawn an air vehicle it is destroyed immediately. I'm not an avid FPS player by any stretch of the means- I grew up on Doom, Quake, and UT, and I manage about a 1:1 Kill to death ratio in CoD, and tend to play support roles in TF2. On average I have 2 kills and over 50 deaths in planet side due to spawn camping. spawning at a point that is distant from the battle just means I get to run for 10 minutes to die from a sniper that I can't see. Playing a supporting role in PS2 is down right rage-inducing. Healing a friendly player may or may not reward XP, and unlike TF2, you cannot heal a heavy to keep them up while they sustain gunfire. Reviving fallen players is fairly pointless unless they died less than 2 seconds in front of you. The Engineer's turret is too inaccurate for the distances at which forces are regularly engaged in. The tanks are done well- and in many cases are over-powered. many of the bases are designed so you can just snipe away at the enemy generator with your tank and destroy it without worry of being engaged by the defenders. Running over your own teammates results in a suicide for them, and no penalty for yourself- great if you just want to troll your own team, as is often the case. What this game direly needs is level segregation of some form- whether it's designated levels for zones where as you out level the zone you do less damage, or you cannot respawn into a zone you are out leveled for, something needs to give a new player some fudge-factor to learn how the game works besides dropping you straight into a fight that you are grossly under leveled for.… Full Review »

Nov 23, 2012This is a game with a lot of unrealised promise, which suffers at the hands of a new community.
I love big, class based FPS games, I evenThis is a game with a lot of unrealised promise, which suffers at the hands of a new community.
I love big, class based FPS games, I even loved MAG, but its pretty difficult to love PS2. Its scale is awesome, but you are unlikely to see most of the map given the spawns and hotpoints tend to be at small locations many Km apart. Its gunplay is pretty poor, guns are uninspiring and bland with no impactful feel.
There are youtube guides out there that state that the most important aspect of this game is logistics. This is true, the most useful people are usually the ones flying mobile spawn points but they are far above the action. As such, people rarely fly the mobile spawn points because the most useful part of the game is also incredibly boring.
The other problem this game suffers from is that there is no sense of achievement, even when you capture an entire region of the map.
The community at the minute is still adjusting, so while it may get better in the future at the minute the 10% of people that arent playing snipers are running round wildly with LMGs.
The game is incredibly demanding on PCs due to its scale, and still has a lot of lag and bugs in the EU servers. The concept behind the game is excellent, the execution at the moment is just incredibly bland. In addition, for a game with this much stuff and scale, there is no real tutorial to speak of. A few notes exist in the in the pause/map screen but at the start of the game you are pretty much dropped in a warzone and told 'GO!' leaving you puzzled asking "go where? do what?" until you die.… Full Review »

Summer travels... Peru! :)
…throught travels you can meet people from everywhere, amazing places, different cultures.. and still you can do what you love, I mean play on the rocks.. that makes climbing a unique activity! ..not change the attraction is the scenery which changes.
I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to travel to some new incredibles places with a really good company. Some of these travels were not organized and this make it more interesting still... Our travel to Peru last summer was like this, an unexpected trip and it was great.. like all things we don´t plan..
It was very nice to share motivation and passion with many climbers (most women) from Peru in the INKAFEST (Mountain Film Festival in Lima) I have to say thanks to Salvador Guinot from Mon Vertical/Petzl Peru and Ivan Canturin for the invitation to this Festival, it was a really cool experience for me to be there.. Gracias chicas... so inspiring! :)
After some days in the city we decided to move to Huaraz, a small but busy town located close to these huge mountains, La Cordillera Blanca (east) and La Cordillera Negra (west). We meet many friends there like Zarela. She is the owner of the hostel where we stayed and it was very nice to be there with her enjoying the delicious breakfast every morning! Sweet days at Casa Zarela. We meet also some other friends who are Alpine guides and they work in those intimidating mountains. So much respect for them, they are a real Spartans!
You can climb also in Huaraz if you are not an alpinist, there are some nice bouldering and sport climbing areas. Hatun machay at 4200 mtrs high is one of the best climbing areas around.. I loved it.. although I had a bad headache from the altitude!! :) ayayaiiii...
Thanks so much to our good friend Hibraym Rios for bringing us to all those beautiful climbing places..! we hope to see you soon!
And well the last part of our trip we wanted to be like a real tourists and we visited some really beautiful places like Cuzco City and the massive Machu Picchu, considered one of the New Seven Wonder of the world. It´s unbelievable how they built this strategic city up there in the mountain.. the conquerors never arrived there! ..we were very happy to be there in this special place :)

¨Tom et Je Ris¨
|Photo Bernardo Gimenez
Some days ago I climbed my dream line "Tom et Je Ris" 8b+/60 meters tufa climbing in the Verdon Gorge, France. It's the most special route I've ever climbed. The exposure, difficulty and logistics for getting to the route make of this line really different from any route I tried before.
Thanks to Bruno Clement "Graou" for bolting this amazing line.
Thanks to my friends the photographer Bernardo Gimenez and Carlos Logroño for sharing this beautiful experience with me.. and big thanks to Patrick because one more time it was much easier with his support!
Now its time for going to visit my friend in US at the OR in Salt Lake City!
See you there!!

La bella Italy..
Definitly Italy is a very special place..
It´s very easy to get caught by the energy of this country. The culture, the enthusiasm of the people, landscapes.. and specially the amazing food here!
I have visited Italy many times and I have had the opportunity to share really good moments with the fanatic people from here but this time it has been different because I didnt feel like this in long time after to visit one place ¨just for climbing¨. Normally I want to come back home but It was different leaving from there..I felt sad to leave my friends and my home for the last two months.. well I think that is not a bad thing at all, it´s a feeling that keeps me connected to this beautiful place.. the place where I want to come back soon :-)
I decided to go to Italy after a climbing rest with my family in Gran Canaria, because I wanted to know another climbing place, I had just returned from Brazil a couple weeks ago and I loved the idea to keep climbing and discovering new areas again.
So I told the idea to my good friends Anna and Carlos and we made that it happens!
We climbed in many different places really close to France in the north west of the country. There are beautiful climbing places with high quality routes specially Andonno where I would like to come back soon because for first time in this year I had a very good feeling with one project after my finger injury last december.. Ci piace Andonno!! Everything is getting better.
Also we took the advantage to make a short trip to visit the South and we decide to take the boat from Genova to Sicily knowing that we would have a wild sea because the huge storm that whipped Sardinia.. we were dizzy and it was a really long 24 hours trip with also Chaxi and my car.. but anyways it was very funny trip.
In Sicily we drove arround the island from north to south from San Vito lo Capo to Siracusaand we enjoyed the sea, the awesome climbing areas and one more time we were in love with the food... soooo good! It ´s funny how you can feel the island style specially in the south.. they live so chilling also you can feel that when they talk.. it sounds like the canarian accent in Spain, something like this :-) I love it!
We shared climbing days and beers with the locals climbers from there and they were super nice with us. Thanks especially to our friend MDassimo Capucho for giving us all the information about climbing in Sicily and also for hosting us kindly at the Agriturismo ¨La Frescura¨, where we could enjoy the sun every morning with the amazing views of the Ionian sea in front and the Etna volcano behind us.. yes, Italy is a very special place.
Photos by Patrick Franza!! thanks!! :-)

A Nair Hospital doctor recently fell prey to cyber frauds. He received a phone call wherein the caller claimed to be from the bank of which he had an account. The caller on the pretext of providing him a credit card on zero charges, asked for his ATM card details, which was later used for an online money transfer. The money was transferred from his accounts to other accounts in Mumbai, Noida and Gujarat. A similar case is registered with Worli police recently.
According to assistant police inspector Vishwajit Jagtap of Agripada police station, doctor Deepak Devde, 28, who has been working with Nair Hospital for the past two years, received a phone call on May 7. The caller claimed to be a bank official and offered him a credit card with attractive offers.
"The doctor showed interest after which the caller asked for his ATM card details. Devde gave his ATM's 16 digit number and birth date. The caller then asked for his ATM's PIN number which the doctor was hesitant to give. The caller then assured him that his PIN number will not be heard and that he can say his PIN number following a music that would play on the call. Soon, the music followed and the doctor said his PIN number," said Jagtap.
He added that once the music stopped, the caller told Devde that the process is over and his credit card would be delivered. "Within two hours, Devde received a message alert from his bank that Rs33,000 was transferred from his account," he said.
Devde then called the bank informing them that he has not done any such transfer. "Suspecting that he could have been duped by cyber frauds, he then lodged a complaint on May 9. The cell phone number from which the call was made is switched off. We have registered a case of cheating under various sections of IPC and Information Technology Act," Jagtap said.
In a similar case registered by the Worli police on May 6, a businessman was allegedly duped by cyber fraudsters of Rs30,000. "The victim had received a phone call wherein the caller on the pretext of verification of his bank ATM card, took his ATM card's PIN and later used it to transfer money," said senior police inspector, Sunil Jain from Worli police station.

This is not a hard fix but don't believe the stories that say it'll take 15 minutes. Took me a little over an hour to uninstall the part - maybe 30 minutes to put it together again. Easy to intermediate fix.First - kill the power using the circuit breaker, pull out the range from the wall & shut off the gas line. Unscrew two screws on the underside of the rangetop (open the oven door to access) then remove a couple more on top by the knobs. After that the top will lift up a bit. Then disconnect the 5 gas line fittings on the manifold & the main gas fitting into the manifold. Remove the back panel to unplug the wire connected to the switch. Now pull out the manifold that has the igniter switch on top. That's about it. When you look at the existing part you can easily see how the new part attaches to the manifold. Install part & put everything back together. The cost was around $46 total - hard to beat that!

Among animals, insects have the highest mass-specific metabolic rates; yet, during intermolt development the tracheal respiratory system cannot meet the increased oxygen demand of older stage insects. Using locomotory performance indices, whole body respirometry, and X-ray imaging to visualize the respiratory system, we tested the hypothesis that due to the rigid exoskeleton, an increase in body mass during the intermolt period compresses the air-filled tracheal system, thereby, reducing oxygen delivery capacity in late stage insects. Specifically, we measured air sac ventilation frequency, size, and compressibility in both the abdomen and femur of early, middle, and late stage sixth instar Schistocerca americana grasshoppers. Our results show that late stage grasshoppers have a reduced air sac ventilation frequency in the femur and decreased convective capacities in the abdomen and femur. We also used X-ray images of the abdomen and femur to calculate the total proportion of tissue dedicated to respiratory structure during the intermolt period. We found that late stage grasshoppers had a lower proportion of their body dedicated to respiratory structures, especially air sacs, which convectively ventilate the tracheal system. These intermolt changes make oxygen delivery more challenging to the tissues, especially critical ones such as the jumping muscle. Indeed, late stage grasshoppers showed reduced jump frequencies compared to early stage grasshoppers, as well as decreased mass-specific CO2 emission rates at 3 kPa PO2. Our findings provide a mechanism to explain how body mass changes during the intermolt period reduce oxygen delivery capacity and alter an insect's life history.

The $99,600 grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts' Make Voting Work initiative is funding the project, which aims to make the physical act of voting easier for the public. The collaboration is one of 16 projects nationwide to participate in improving voting during future elections. The researchers will look into what it takes to establish voting centers.
Research includes "what it would cost, how many vote centers need to be set up, where the centers would go, what times they'd be open and more of the logistics," said Knox County Administrator of Elections Greg Mackay.
The article has more details on the project that involves Knox, Anderson, and Loudon counties. Greg Mackay says they hope to begin testing it after next year.

Iron Ore
Iron Ore is mined in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, from open-cast operations, at the Khumani Iron Ore Mine, which is located near the town of Kathu, and Beeshoek Iron Ore Mine which is located outside the town of Postmasburg.
The iron ore produced is sold in both the export/international market and domes-tically to South Africa's largest long and flat steel producers.
Various grades of manganese ore are mined at the Nchwaning and Gloria mines, located in the Black Rock area of the Northern Cape province and manganese alloys are produced at the Cato Ridge Works in Kwazulu-Natal and at the Machadodorp Works in Mpumalanga.
Both are fully integrated manganese alloy smelters as manganese ore feed is mainly sourced from Assmang's manganese mines. Cato Ridge Alloys, a joint venture with Japanese partners, produces refined ferro manganese.
Chrome Ore is mined on the eastern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The underground mining operation at the Dwarsrivier Chrome Ore Mine is located in the Steelpoort Valley in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.
The ore is sold to domestic ferrochrome producers as well as the export market. The charge chrome production furnace at Assmang's Machadodorp smelter has been idle since 2012. However, production of fines and chips continues annually.

Fishermen say federal law kills jobs
BOSTON Fishermen from around the country are planning to pack the steps in front of the U.S. Capitol this month to demand changes to a federal fisheries law they say is killing jobs and eroding fishing communities.
Organizers of the "United We Fish" rally expect up to 3,000 people at the Feb. 24 protest, including a bipartisan roster of congressmen and fishermen from as far away as Alaska.
The rally comes as various issues roil the fishing business, including questions about uneven law enforcement, restrictions on key recreational stocks and a switch to a new system of regulating Northeast fishermen.
But Jim Hutchinson Jr. of the Recreational Fishing Alliance, a rally organizer, said the overall goal is changing the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the federal fisheries law that was reauthorized in 2007.
Hutchinson said the law sets unrealistic fish stock recovery goals based on flawed science, then mandates harsh cuts for failing to meet the goals.
"This is about real people having real concerns and being put out of business, being kicked off the water," Hutchinson said.
Tina Jackson, a Point Judith, R.I., fisherman who is organizing a bus ride to the rally, thinks policymakers will be forced to pay attention when they see solidarity from a field traditionally filled with factions.
"The competition has always run so high," Jackson said. "Now it's come down to 'You know what, it's do or die, we're all in this together, regardless of what kind of fishing you do.'"
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokeswoman Monica Allen said the agency "will be listening carefully to what fishermen and others have to say that day."
She added that the U.S. has world-leading fishery science and management, and fishermen will see the benefits.
"We estimate that once the nation rebuilds all fisheries, which we are on a track to do and required to do by law, the dockside value of our fisheries would go from $4.1 billion to $6.3 billion annually, a 54-percent increase," she said.
Hutchinson said his New Jersey-based group started organizing the rally after a closure of the amberjack fishery last year followed other closures it viewed as based on bad science, such as on a healthy black sea bass stock.
Their protests echoed complaints commercial fishermen have made for years, and the two sides - longtime rivals for a common resource - found rare common cause.
"The recreational folks are coming a little bit late to the party, but thank God they're with us, and we're with them in lockstep on this issue," said Sean McKeon, president of the North Carolina Fisheries Association, a commercial group.
A primary push at the rally will be for flexibility in provisions of the fishery law that tighten rules if depleted stocks aren't being rebuilt along a 10-year timeline. Fishermen say the 10-year timeline is unscientific and arbitrary and ignores nature's role in recovery.
The rally comes just weeks after a federal review found the appearance of unfairness in fishery law enforcement and showed Northeast fishermen were penalized more frequently. And it's just a few months before Northeast fishermen switch in May to a "catch-share" system of regulation in which groups of fishermen are allotted a certain catch to divide among themselves. Some fishermen say the system will force small boats off the sea and destroy fishing communities.
