I don't know what is so difficult for people to grasp in incursion, if you are observant and play around a bit you'll quickly see how it works.
Killing turrets does nothing, they spawn a set time after they are destroyed, I don't have an issue with eliminating specific troublesome turrets, but don't sit there and shoot it, its a running thing. Patrols are the same idea.
If people ever bothered to kill saboteurs they would see pretty quickly that the instant you killed one that it respawns somewhere else on the map. Sometimes it spawns right beside you, 3, 4, 5 times in a row, bam bam bam. This means there are a fixed number of saboteurs, if you have 2 or 3 capable zones covered and just 2 idiots shooting turrets those 4 or 5 fixed saboteurs can get pushed and stay in those zones wasting a lot of time. Linked spawning is a pretty common map trick.

See if the above poster hooked you:
Every time someone doesn't read the first part of this post, Rick Santorum eats a kitten and your post may be frowned upon.Idea stolen from Critique Circle. The writer will post no more than the first 500-1000 words of their work (unless you desperately need to finish a sentence, I guess). If it's a script, the first four pages should suffice, since 1000 words is about four pages in most books. The reader is pretending to be an editor going through the slush pile, and will stop reading the excerpt if they lose interest. The reader will post to say if they stopped reading, why/ why not, and offer suggestions. The critique doesn't have to be detailed, but please at least offer some advice.
Every time someone doesn't follow the second part, Rick Santorum eats five kittens and your post has a 90% chance of being ignored.FRIENDLY REMINDER: As the title of the thread implies, if someone posted an excerpt before you, please critique it before posting your own. If you skip someone, you lose the right to whine if someone skips over you. People that have been skipped, feel free to post a polite reminder if you're getting concerned. Reading 1000 words and leaving a few comments shouldn't take too long. And look at it this way: if you critique it yourself, you don't risk waiting forever for someone else to do it for you (this thread takes occasional naps) and you don't have to hope the critiquer doesn't have an excerpt of their own to post right after. A SHORT NOTE: By hook we mean the first thing the reader sees of the story, not necessarily some sort of inciting incident. Your beginning can be slow and steady, but it still counts as the hook because readers can still be interested by something that moves slowly as long as something is there that gives the reader a reason to keep going. So if you have a prologue that meets or surpasses the word limit, don't stick your first chapter underneath it. DISCLAIMER: This isn't a hardcore critique thread, so don't try to milk a detailed critique for your first chapter. That's why we have the word limits. Just think of this as a preliminary screening process for serious problems so you can get started on making your first impressions sparkly and awesome.

@chihuahua 0,
Although I would like to ask why you don't prefer my short paragraph style.As you saw, I have the opposite style, with long, tangent-filled descriptions of characters and settings, followed by (though you didn't see this part), extended conversations with a pure focus on the characters themselves. Your style is so... alien, compared to mine, that it rings as strange. However, I didn't mean that as an objective complaint ("that's bad, change it") so much as a personal thing ("it's just kind of weird to me"). Suffice it to say, your last line made the save for me and I am confirmed hooked on yours.
I dont read much (read: any) historical fiction on a regular basis, but I am a pretty big fan of history in general. I feel like theres a definite grasp of the characters, setting, and events that transpire and are to come; it helps that you give some pretty thorough descriptions. I can see why people might be turned off, though at times, it feels more like Im reading a textbook instead of a story, and as a result that theres going to be a lot to keep up with (like theres a pop quiz incoming). But I suppose thats the nature of the beast necessities that are as important as any scene setup. So Im going to go ahead and say hooked.I've been told that when I get into history my incredibly encyclopedic view of the matter tends to color my descriptions. Unfortunately, because this is only the beginning, it really looks like straight historical fiction, because people tend not to know that there never was a Napoleon VI (the line died with Napoleon IV), or that Wilhelm III was never Kaiser. Nevermind that on the next page or so I introduce airships... Ah well, at least you were interested enough to keep reading, right? @JHM, I like it. Some grammar syntax to fix, in my opinion, but overall it was fairly intriguing—even if the "creepy house on the hill" is vaguely cliche. Confirmed hooked.

The cliché is intentional here. What's really going on, as perhaps you can tell, is ultimately quite a bit stranger. Syntactical errors? Please tell. They might be intentional; the narrator rambles a bit...

@ JHM: I read through the whole thing, but with great difficulty. The descriptions were a little much, and it kind of seemed rambling. I think it might be all the adjectives, but I could be wrong. Maybe inserting some action or dialogue in between all the description might break it up a little? Here's something from a story called "Stories that Make Baby Nervous Cry" that I'm trying to get back into writing. I think it needs editing, but I can't put my finger on why.
Kaleb Aarons stood in front of his telescope late that afternoon. The unseen sun hung low in the sky as the house behind him cast deep dark shadows on the sandy backyard. The telescope, being of a very high quality, allowed the young man to observe exactly what went on at the house on the hill up Cover Up Road, specifically, the show a young blond man was putting on. There was something to be said for watching a grown man singing "Pour Some Sugar on Me" while seated on a toilet. To an outsider, the scene appeared to be merely that of an avid birdwatcher. To his friend, Ronya, however, it was something entirely different. You know, one day youre going to end up in Vidcunds trash can in multiple pieces, she remarked, passing him and entering the house. Kaleb left the telescope and followed suit. You seem to forget; were only representations of the two actual people controlling and watching this world, Kaleb responded, following her into the bathroom. Even if Vidcund somehow managed to penetrate the invisible force field protecting us from harm by the other Sims, we would only be recreated by those who made us in the first place. He continued as he and Ronya walked back out to the living room and sat on the couch. Ronya gave him a dubious expression. Seriously? Kaleb cast his eyes toward the floor molding. Well, no, thats really just a theory explaining why we look so much like the controllers And possibly the elephant wall hanging in the other room. Then whats to stop Vidcund from running over here right now and impaling us both on his nose, or at least, from turning us in for invasion of privacy? Ronya continued as Kaleb retrieved his eyeballs from the side of the room. Kaleb sat back down, only to jump up once more in realization. We know its Vidcund thatll bring the death threats! he exclaimed, giving about two and a half more excited jumps (his initial excitement faded somewhat mid-flight). Ronya sat still for a few seconds. And .If we know that, before weve even met this Vidcund, we must have some sort of power over the other Sims! We ARE gods among Sims! Kalebs two and a half jumps became three after the completion that slight leap of logic. Hold on a minute. Ronyas tone sobered slightly. If we really are gods, we should have some other powers, like omniscience or omnipotence. Or the power to not suck at cooking. Kaleb poked at his lunchmeat sandwich before getting up to store it in the fridge. How I managed to burn the drink is beyond me. Ronya rose from the couch, poking around the combination living room and kitchen. There should be something .Aha! Here it is. She reached under the couch and brought up a big black remote control that bore the label STRANGETOWN. Instead of buttons for numbers, there were color-coded buttons labeled with a last name-one for every household in the town. Kaleb box-vaulted back onto the couch. The Universal remote! Well, not completely universal; there were others under the couch. I saw one for some places called Belladonna Cove, Pleasantview-sounds a bit like a sitcom, that one- and Veronaville. But, she flicked on the television set, with this, dare I say it, we could .Avoid washing the dishes for at least four hours! Sweet! Kaleb pressed a fire engine red button labeled CURIOUS.
The sun was just considering peeking over the horizon of the Simvanian desert. A white house sat on a sandy hill, fostering the shrillest screams known to man. Just sit down, and well get you to a hospital! Vidcund Curious advised his convulsing older brother, Pascal, in a not-quite-so-calm voice. Forget the hospital, this babys coming now! Pascal screamed back, assuming the birthing position on the blanket spread over the floor. To think, he thought, just a few seconds ago, life was so normal. Nine months earlier, Pascal had been stargazing through the telescope, as he had done for the past fifteen years. He was just about ready to call it a night, when he saw a blue light streak through the sky. By the time he was able to zoom in closer, it was too late. He was sucked into the UFO, Vidcund and Lazlo powerless to do anything other than watch and maybe play a game of Punch You Punch Me. Upon being thrust unceremoniously from the aircraft and running to the toilet, he came to the conclusion that he, just like his father, Glarn, had been impregnated by the aliens. And now here he was. Ill get the scissors! The third, youngest brother, Lazlo, ran for the bathroom medicine cabinet. Vidcund knelt in front of Pascal, who spread his legs for his younger brother, and worked his hands into a pair of rubber gloves. Hed hardly been looking forward to this part; in Vidcunds view, no amount of training would ever prepare him to yank a little green person out of his older brother. He was almost tempted to yell at Lazlo to get his butt back out here and help-it didnt take that long to fetch a pair of scissors, what could he be doing?-but that would only upset Pascal (rather unwise, considering he now had a strong hold on Vidcunds wrist). Whatever you do, dont pull him out. Alien babies hate that, Pascal warned, his voice dropping to a shaky whisper.

@ JHM This is honestly rather boring, confusing and doesn't make much sense. There are some writing mistakes that are somewhat disguised by the archaic style, but anyone paying attention is going to see the problems, and those not will still sense the problems. You have few flow issues (not the worst I've seen, but it needs some work), sentences aren't particularly linked by subject in some places. They don't lead from one to the other, you just say something and then start talking about something with only a tangential relation to it. You can call it rambling of the speaker but it's just bad writing. Your prose isn't purple, exactly, but it is rather close to being absolutely cliche. You are also very repetitive with words and phrases and sentence structure. You pretty much always start the sentences with the subject, I'd like to see a sentence or two start with a Gerund. Your word choice is tolerable. Your comma placement is quite good (for someone reason a lot of people are bad at it but you are doing it properly, good job there) though you have a few weird placements of periods and sentence fragments without a lot of justification. It gives a very staccato effect that I don't actually think lends itself to giving a spooky air at all. This isn't how I would have written this, but it's how I would have beta-ed it if you handed it to me to do so. It could still probably use some work, though. I took a lot out that gives room for some added description if you wanted it:
When I was young I lived with my family* in a small town about forty miles northwest of the city where I now reside. I visit sometimes, though more rarely now than I did in the past. It is a quiet place, small and unprepossessing, with little to say for itself but that it is exactly what it appears. Mostly.* At the very centre of the oldest part of that town there is a great, round hill. It is very tall, more so than anything else within the town's borders, wide and green, being covered with long bright grass occasionally interrupted by trees or buildings. The houses there are extremely old, being small and stout, crouching low as if shrunken and bent by age as a person might be after such a time. The roofs are browning thatch, sunken from disrepair and the mortar between their stones dribbles out slowly, the walls cracking like grated teeth. A strangeness and sense of loneliness hangs over the abandoned hill. Abandoned from fear of the high house. Before it deteriorated, the house was still most often empty. Few stayed long in the old high house, the townspeople said, if they were at all wise, though in there eyes there was little wisdom in visiting at all. Even fewer than visited lived there, and it was long ago. No one discussed them or their judgement in doing so. One shouldn't speak ill of the dead. The remains of that estate are easily discernible, being furthest atop the hill and by far the largest of the buildings. It once had a slate roof, or several, though they have long collapsed. Even ruined it is out of place, out of element, strange and empty and alone.The lines after that just makes absolutely no sense. "What I know now came from a friend of sorts, not from the town but having lived there for a certain time"? What the heck does that even mean? He was sort of a friend, but he didn't live in the town, but he did for a while. Whah? That is blatantly contradicting. "He had left in a hurry. When I asked him why, this is what he told me." Okay, this seems to be saying that what was just told was something a guy heard from someone else who left his town in a hurry, but the actual story doesn't imply he left the town he supposedly did, it implies he still lives there. Or it might be trying to say the 'left in a hurry part' is talking about how he doesn't live in the town with the hill anymore, but that isn't the impression the actual text gives, it seems to act as if the left in a hurry thing is something that happened recently. I just have no idea what it's trying to say. If this is some story being recounted anyway it should say that at the very beginning not the end, so we know what we are reading isn't actually from the main narrator's perspective. This whole thing just has serious problems and is boring besides. If I were you I'd go through your whole story sentence by sentence with a fine-toothed comb. Also, the 'hook' actually refers to the first sentence. You are supposed to 'hook' the audience with the first sentence, or at least the second, that's the point, otherwise they won't read far enough to get to anything interesting. You don't really have a hook at all. I think your metaphors and descriptors are actually some of the better parts of this, "the mortar between their stones dribbles out slowly, the walls cracking like grated teeth" was pretty cool, actually. I think it's your strong point and it couldn't hurt you to add a bit more. You should really start your text with something like that, IMO. Sorry if I seemed like I cut you apart, I was just reading it and found so many things that I perceived as issues that I kind of got on a roll. I don't think it's a lost cause but I think you should think about how each sentence fits together a bit more, focusing on efficiency.

I'm not one for ripping apart works directly to the face of authors, unless said authors happen to be jackasses (which JHM most certainly isn't). ~shrug~ I don't expect much different as an opinion from you than from the others ("it's too dense and boring"), but if you'd like I'll take any criticism offered.

I'm tempted to post something of mine for Noir to try and slaughter. Partly because I can't help but think of his stuff as a case of Is That A Challenge? Maybe I'll do it tomorrow, it's late now and I got work really early in the morning. (Also I want to try and get some writing in before bed.)

I just figure if you're posting in this thread you want an honest opinion and are sort of looking for this kind of critique. And having said what I've said, no one is under the obligation to actually listen to me, I won't really feel bad if someone says "Um, no," and just keeps on with what they are doing. I wish I had someone to tear into my stuff in depth, but I actually don't know many people as anal and critical as me in terms of style and structure. People are better than I am at grammar and spelling often enough, though. Which is good because I make a lot of type-os in my own work, that I sometimes don't notice.

Well played, old chap!
Honestly, I have a very low opinion of my ability to write horror scenes, so I'd be prepared to wager there's nothing you could say that I've not already said to myself.
Did I ever tell you...the definition of insanity?

@ Mr AHR Okay well, I don't really read scripts much but I'll do what I can with this. It's for a graphic novel, right? In that case I'm not really going to be looking for style, but more content in terms of helping someone draw the image and in reading it from a narrative perspective. I have no experience with this so I wouldnt really give my opinion the same kind of weight I would if I were talking about straight up writing. Then again I've read a shit ton of manga and I draw myself so I don't think I have no room to stand whatsoever. In the overall, I don't like it, not one bit. It's not very interesting and it's even kind of misleading. You're opening shot of a GN, or any visual narrative media, should probably fall under one of these things: introduce a setting, introduce a character, and/or be visually impressive and evocative in a way that relates to the work. This doesn't really do any of these things. Firstly we get a shot of a bar sign, which does give us a place, but the place does not relate even remotely to what's being talked about. We see a bar and then someone we can't see starts talking about things that we also can't see, while we are looking at this bar and we don't know what the hell it has to do with anything this disembodied person is talking about, all of which seems way more interesting than what we're looking at currently. There is no relationship between those to things, the narration and the visuals, especially since we don't even see the guy who is talking being in the bar until halfway through. The narrator is giving this intense description about magic and such, but there is nothing magical here, and all the description is so wasted and we can't even imagine ourselves in our heads because the image given to us is this bar and it's distracting. It's a graphic novel, show it to us. Give panels of people fighting with magic and the bloody battle and such, depicting what is being explained. Just having someone talk about it is a complete waste of the media, and it's just plain weird when you're giving an explanation od all this stuff and yet all we have to see is a bar. It really takes away from the epicness of the history given. I say scrap every visual you have and basically go frame by frame actually depicting what you are talking about in the narration. If Mr. Seeger is an important character than introduce him right in the first panel and then drift off to the visuals as he discusses them. Skip the bar thing entirely. I'm assuming the kids are important, but I don't think seeing them is required in this infodump/prologue thing. Because that is what it is, and basically the only way to make it not boring, and to get the actual information across, is to make it look cool. A Graphic novel isn't like a book, where you imagine yourself what people are talking about, you are presented with images which you are expected to look at, it's really not easy to visualize what someone is talking about in that context. Think of movies, when a character goes off on a monologue of more than a few lines long about a great battle, like nine times out of ten, they show us some form of the battle as he does, or at least sounds of fighting and music as if he's remembering (which you can't really do because it's a GN but you see my point) instead of just making us look at some guy through the whole thing. In terms of actual text, I don't see a problem with it, so I didn't go through and give you an edited version, since the descriptions won't be written anywhere anyone will see them but the artist anyway, so meh, doesn't really matter. Though I think they can be even shorter and to the point. The actual words Mr.Seeger says I think are completely fine, clear, straight forward and to the point as well as evocative, so all good there as well.

This is chapter one, part one of The Woodnote Letter, a personal experiment in writing by the seat of my pants.
Azrael Jones, with the carry of a drunk at sea, pulled himself off what appeared to be the ground. The world sloshed and spun around him as thoughts swam. His first thought was something along the lines of Where in bloody hell am I? This question was answered once he looked about and eventually realized that he was on the corner of Fifth and Heimer, on the outskirts of Skymoor. This fact did not reassure him in the slightest, considering his last memory was being in his bedroom, the one troublingly not located in Skymoor. His second thought, naturally, was How the bloody hell did I get here? This was not answered so quickly as the previous thought, and he managed to slump into a park bench he had discovered beside himself to mull it over. Azrael did his best to retrace what happened. Start with the bedroom, where he was studying his maps, plotting his escape yet again. Continue to him getting depressed, and heading to a coffee shop downtown. Cue him meeting an odd gentlemen desperately trying to warn him about something called "the Woodnote Letter" and how he had "only a month, and he's getting a damn coffee!" The rest, however, was a blur; there was some sort of disagreement between him and the man, and the next sensation Azrael knew was the taste of sidewalk. He felt something in his pocket, and pulled it out. It was a brand-new pocket calender, the exact sort of thing he father was always begging him to get. He had no memory of ever touching such a thing, but yet Azrael Jones was written in black and white on the blank on this inside cover (not in his hand-writing, mind you). Azrael flipped to the current date June the tenth to see a notice written. This is today, in case you've forgotten the date. Teleportation's a bitch, ain't it? it said, in the same neat, machine-like handwriting as on the inside cover. He kept flipping through the calender, paying no mind to the mention of teleportation (most likely a joke, or a reference he didn't catch). On July the tenth, exactly one month from now, another note had been written. Arrival of the Woodnote Letter. it said plainly. (good fucking luck) was written beneath it. He put the calender back in his pocket. Azrael's third and final thought before heading off down the street was this, and this only: This is cause for concern.

I'm assuming the kids are important, but I don't think seeing them is required in this infodump/prologue thing.. I am reading the actual thread. They never show up past page two. Make of that what you will.

Woefully Ineloquent
@Black Elephant: First there was a bit of confusion on my part: if he's looking at a guy through a telescope, then how does he know what the guy is singing? Is there something I'm missing here? Second, there's that info-dump in the fourth paragraph, which is where I stopped reading. Show Don't Tell, Say No To Infodumps, etc. etc.

Noir: Thank you for your review. Although, considering how this was supposed to be a framing device, either I didn't make that clear enough, or you didn't notice.

@Noir, if you're looking for somebody incredibly picky and critical, I'm pretty sure I could manage that.
Scepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom.

I don't believe you did, though I got that this is sort of a "let me tell you a story..." thing but either way I think it's still pretty boring and lacking, and sort of throws out the point of the media. That kind of framing works better in movies, I feel, and even then they don't tell this kind of epic back story while they do it in this boring room. I don't think your GN benefits from this kind of framing, in this particular case. Especially since this is supposed to be a 'current account' or it seemed so to me, by the storyteller, it doesn't make as much sense. That was my opinion, anyway. I think you should just show Seeger in a room, have him introduce himself and start talking and then show all the things he's talking about, that's still a pretty similar thing. I'm going to put something up here tonight for you guys to critique (or tear apart) if you so desire. It's only fair. And I'm a lot better at critiquing beginnings than I am at writing them myself, I feel, so I could use the advice. I hate when I ask people for advice and they say "it's okay" or "it's good" or "I didn't really like it" without telling my why they think this, even when prompted, so I can actually do anything about the problems they see.

@Aniventerie, I like it. @Noir, When and if you get a chance, I wouldn't mind a critique of mine, and I'm rather interested to see what sort of fiction you like to write.

In the grand scheme of things, it's really a little silly to get completely psyched that some random internet-dweller likes something I've written. I guess that makes me quite silly . Oh, and Noir? Permission granted to rip it to shreds. I know it's not the best thing I've ever done, and I want to know exactly why. At the time I posted I wouldn't be adding anything that hadn't already been said. And regarding us "ganging up" on Noir: she has gained a reputation on this thread for having a very keen eye; why wouldn't we want her opinion? It wasn't an aggressive thing either; I seem to recall us requesting her input, not commanding it. I don't think her opinion is the only one I'll need either.

Guys, maybe instead of asking one person to review all your works, you should review some of the works of others. This last page of posts seems like everyone ganging up on Noir Grimoire for a critique. I don't want to speak for her, but it takes a long time to read and compose a thoughtful review, and it can't all be done by one person. Everyone who's asked for a crit should offer one themselves— a full critique on what you liked or didn't like, not just a one off "liked it/didn't." And if you haven't critiqued anyone in the thread yet, you shouldn't even be asking for one. *retreats back to mousehood*
For the rain it raineth every day.

Thank you very much for the appreciations and thanks for the hints, ebel and England-Kev.
I'll be coming back, so I will have a better look next time.
I'm just glad this radar station didn't cook my brains.
Let's move on a bit, shall we?
Monday, 23rd
John and Susann, my hosts for tonight made me a wonderful english breakfast and we chatted a bit. I can recommend them in Sedbergh, they are the first B&B coming into town from West.
They miss dearly the bikers which normally go to the Isle of Man through there. Told me, one time they had 13 bikes in front. They want that again, so give them a stop.
And hey, with THAT view in the morning the day can only be great, can it not?
From Sedbergh, I drove further into the Yorkshire National Park. Hell of a lot of twisty roads, much up and down, everything very rural, of course. As you can see.
Looking a bit around, seems I'm about to get pretty much soaked, doesn't it?
Dark Skies and everything. Hence I made a little bit of haste at least. As we'll find later, totally without reason.
Driving those twisties, I pretty much learned soon: if the Englishman writes "slow down" you sure as hell do so. Otherwise you slip on the painting before the curve, which tells you to.
You do not see the end of the curve? Slow down.
You go up a hill, can't see over it and could slow down even further without tipping over or appearing like a totally scared dork? Fucking do so now!
Otherwise, you WILL kill the Easter Bunny and make my niece cry.
If you are very, very lucky that is. If not,
suicidal Nazivampirezombiesheep of Doom of Death from Outer Space +3
will kill YOU instead.
We'll find out more about them later on, of course. And no, this was of course no close call. Those came later. Once again, you really do learn to drive in England, esp. when your bike is an overloaded beast with nearly 400 Kilograms and a lot of UUMPH from the low revs.
Basically, I headed toward Aysgarth Falls. I admit, back then I was too much of a pussy to take photographs of the EPIC twisties one rides along the way. Lots of cottages everywere, you could zip out the camera al the time – which I did. Anyhow, you will never be able to transport the beauty of the scenery and moment. Oh well, Dave Schwartz is able to do that of course, but...
On Aysgarth Falls I bought a coffee which I drank looking down to the church and having a smoke. There I learned: Sheep make the best caretakers for your grass. And the mix well with gravestones as well.
Also, look at this furkin' S-curve down a 25%!!! Hill. Going down was a pain. Going it UP was making me sweat. If for nothing else, then because there are Tractors with overbroad coming DOWN and they cannot brake. Or at least, they don't.
In "the Falls" Café which was very quiet and being operated by a guy who could just as well be Paul McCartney, from the looks of it and the music running, I bought myself some Game Pie, made of Peasant breast to be precise…will come in handy later on. Right next to the cafe, this rather famous wooden means of transportation has been parked. Remember the Emperor in Gladiator? The very same.
The Falls themselves take a bit of a walk and the Englishman encourage you to take it. From the looks of the people around they NEED to be encouraged. The Falls are not that impressive. Just some cascades of 1 to 2 meter drops, the water being brown as like coming from a swamp.
But then, the clever guys lead you right to the river on the way BACK. And this is nice, have a look!
From there, I headed out to Scarborough, which is almost all the way back from were I came. Haven't gotten soaked so far and now sun came out, the Temperature rose to almost 30° C and I needed to get rid of my gear. But I drove on, 'cause there was a hell of traffic going on between York and Scarborough. Still, I stopped sometimes after all.
Oh and I learned something about fourlaned streets in UK:
1. it is no problem at all to throw gravel on the road and the slow down traffic to 20 mph for skidrisk. For about 15 miles.
2. they actually buildplaces to go right or make u-turns in these streets. Nice idea. You speed with 70 miles and suddenly, someone in front of you makes a U-turn.
3. but they have pretty artistic signs warning of deer.
4. and their Flitzerblitzers are not exactly prone to catch someone.
The English people really like their Hores.
They do like them SO much, the let them run around freely along a crowded "Interstate". And I liked them too, so I sat down and had about 90 Min of break, making me a meal. During that, World War II fighters were going over me all the time. You now, real ones.
Finally I arrived in Scarborough and made it to the Old Race Circuit.
Wasn't worth it, but what the hell. If I didn't drive there, I would have asked myself all the time what I've missed.
There, I learned something. As one says, when you are looking for beautiful women and your in UK: go elsewhere. Normally, I tend to agree.
But sometimes you just have to take a closer look… With the Girl playing with the dogs, I did not even recognize here age and I could not care less. The scene was just awesome.
The ride from Scarborough to Newcastle was very tiresome, but worth it. You do not see the North Sea often, but WHEN you do it's when you are riding over the hills, with mountain flora beside you. Scenic.
Once in Newcastle, I immediately learned: veni, visi, vomisi.
I came, I saw, I wanted to throw up. But after all, Newcastle had it's good sides: a) I did not need to waste my time there, b) it started raining there only after I left, c) I got out very quickly and d) an old Norton.
So, skip Newcastle.
Headed further to Northumberland Park and wanted to go to Bamburgh Castle from there. Once I passed the border to Scotland I was greeted immediately with the bad-to-the-bone kind of rain. You now, soft, smallest drops, which go everywhere no matter what. But I was greated by scenic views as well, so who cares.
Being about 60 km from Bamburgh, I found out I drove like an elder, not leaning in or anything – totally unsure, unsafe, tired. Thus I turned over at the next campsite possible, 'cause it's simply not worth it.
There I sat up the tent and after throwing all my equip in, it started really pouring down. What did I care, I sat in the dry with all my stuff. Time to roast my Peasant Pie, simply with bacon, onion, salt and pepper. Oh yeah, and ale plus cider alongside, of course.
Good night =)

A day after Narendra Modi's long meeting with RSS top brass, BJP President Rajnath Singh today met Sangh leaders and is believed to have discussed the party strategy as the final phase of Lok Sabha polls come to an end tomorrow.
Top RSS leaders including Bhaiyaji Joshi and RSS points man in dealing with BJP Suresh Soni held a closed-door meeting with the BJP president for nearly two hours at the RSS office in Jhandewalan.
Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat was not present at the meeting.
Singh's meeting with RSS leaders comes a day after BJP's prime ministerial candidate held a meeting with Bhagwat yesterday.
Singh is believed to have discussed the party strategy keeping in view of the last phase of polling tomorrow and counting of votes on May 16.
Asked about the meeting, sources close to the BJP President said, "RSS workers have worked hard at the ground level to make BJP candidates win in the elections and Rajnathji has come to express his gratitude for this to Sangh."
Asked whether any post-poll strategy was discussed in the meeting, sources said, "Sangh does not discuss strategy." Modi yesterday joined Bhagwat, his deputy Joshi and Soni, at the Sangh headquarters where they are learnt to have reviewed the future course of action and current campaign strategy.
Sangh workers have campaigned extensively for BJP in eastern UP where the party seeks to dramatically improve its fortunes.
The meeting had also discussed the current political situation, the sources had said.
The last phase of Lok Sabha polling will be held tomorrow, including in Varanasi, from where Modi is contesting. He is pitted against AAP's Arvind Kejriwal and Congress' Ajay Rai.

Add some lead tape into the Wilson buttcap by the trap door ?
I am happy with my BLX Pro Open frame but I would like to add some lead tape at 3 & 9 (2g) and into the handle to counterbalance. For that, I would like to add some lead tape (2g) directly into the buttcap by the trap door. This is a possibility with the Wilson buttcap !. Therefore, lead tape will really be set at the end of the handle... It is a good way for the look and could be very convenient but is it correct to counterbalance efficiently ?
I am afraid that it could induce some instability...
I've had no problems putting weight in the buttcaps of my Six.One's. I use tungsten putty, but I've used lead tape for other racquets.
You can also dig out some of the foam that's inside the racquet handle and place weight there.

(updates with Canadian and Mexican rail shipment data)
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Chemical shipments on Canadian railroads rose by 13.6% year on year to 11,543 loadings in the week ended 31 August, marking their eighth increase in a row, according to data released by a rail industry association on Thursday.
In the previous week, ended 24 August, Canada's chemical railcar loadings rose by 1.4% year on year. From 1 January to 31 August, shipments were up by 7.9% to 397,138, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) said.
The weekly chemical railcar loadings data is seen as an important real-time measure of chemical industry activity and demand. Canadian chemical producers rely on rail to ship more than 70% of their products, with many companies relying exclusively on rail shipments.
The AAR said that weekly chemical railcar loadings in Mexico fell by 9.2% year on year to 1,195. From 1 January to 31 August, they were up 12.6% to 48,620.
US chemical railcar traffic rose by 8.0% year on year to 32,005 loadings in the week ended 31 August.
In the previous week, ended 24 August, US chemical car loadings rose by 2.5%. From 1 January to 31 August, US chemical railcar traffic was up 0.1% to 1,044,452 loadings, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) said.
Meanwhile, overall US weekly railcar loadings for the week ended 31 August, in the freight commodity groups tracked by the AAR, rose 3.1% year on year to 302,026 carloads. Overall weekly Canadian loadings rose by 2.2% to 81,199 and overall Mexican loadings rose by 13.6% to 16,725.

Roadmap to develop infrastructure sector by Jan-end: Montek
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Dec. 20
THE presentations on the roadmap for development of infrastructure including roads, ports and railways are expected to be made to the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure, by January-end.
"I am hoping that by end of January, meetings would be held on these sectors. Presentation will be made to the Infrastructure Committee of the Cabinet and a roadmap suggested," the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman, Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, told newspersons on the sidelines of TiE conference.
The Planning Commission had already made a presentation on the civil aviation sector to the committee. "Roads sector will be taken up next," he added. According to Dr Ahluwalia, the roadmap on each sector would have clearly defined timeline for action and deal with policy funding issues.
"Instead of just a presentation by the Ministry, there is an independent presentation by the Planning Commission. On civil aviation sector, the commission and the Ministry had a common stand but it may not be so in future," he said.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
This facility is an authentic log cabin built by an East Texas family over 60 years ago. Once we moved it onto our property, we restored it and updated it with modern features - making it a great blend of new and old. The original mortar and logs are still in place, but we added central heat and air, a full kitchen with
accessories, plumbing, Satellite TV, and VCR with a movie library. It has a large front porch that's perfect for relaxing. It's a great place for families, fishermen, or even a couple looking for a cozy escape to get away from it all.
The log cabin is conveniently located in the midlake area near the Highway 147 Bridge, nestled in a peaceful setting surrounded by pine trees. While there is no access to the water, the Cassels-Boykin boat ramp is less than one mile from the cabin. We offer a clean, comfortable, non-smoking environment that makes you want to stay. We offer all of the comforts of home, along with great amenities that you won't find anywhere else around the lake. You'll also get the best fishing tips on the lake from owner/professional tournament angler Jeff Buchanan, who aims to make sure all of our guests are catching fish!
Keywords: Log Cabin
We found this old homestead cabin in the woods locally. It was built by a man and his young sons who had just moved from Mississippi to stake their claim in Texas. They stripped the logs by hand and put lots of blood,sweat and tears into its construction. The house sit in the East Texas woods for over 40 years abandoned when we purchased it from the land owner. It was moved onto our property and after much remodeling it is has turned into a favorite to many who love coming to the lake. With all the modern amenities, this cabin is a great way to step back in time and will make a huge addition to your lake experience.
Some people come to the cabin just to enjoy the unique experence. But the bass fishing at Lake Sam Rayburn is WORLD CLASS as well as fishing for catfish and crappie. We have great fishing guides that will take you out while you are at the lake and it is a great way to guarentee that you will catch fish. The trees here are gorgous and the air is great for both your body and sole.
My husband and I rented this cabin for one month. If you are over 5"8 the ceiling will almost touch your head. The cabin had roaches in the cabinets.. And it was very dirty Example: Look under the bed. A noisy "rodent of sorts" living in the attic, keeping me up all night. They told me that we would have WiFi...they did, but the reception was NOT There!!! as so with both our cell phones. Owner would not offer any refunds!!!
I would never go back and anyone is free to contact me for more info.
Lake Sam Rayburn offers some of the best bass fishing in the country and hosts world class tournaments year round. Big Sam is the largest lake within the state of Texas. Rayburn also offers great fishing for crappie (many crappie caught are 12-16 inch), white bass, hybrids, bream, and catfish. We have package deals on lodging and guided fishing trips with the best guides on the lake who pick you up right at the front door. The lake is also great for swimming and water sports. We are also located near the Angelina National Forest and Boykin Springs, where you will find incredible hiking trails along beautiful, sandy-bottomed creeks and a swimming facility derived from a natural spring. There are also a variety of great restaurants, antique shops, and historical homes to visit within 30 miles. We look forward to having you come to the lodge and making a new friend at beautiful Lake Sam Rayburn - where the fish are always biting.

Pacific Conference of Churches climate change campaign officer Peter Emberson speaks to participants during the Pacific Conference of Churches climate change and Relocation workshop at the Novotel Convention Centre in Lami on Monday. Picture: JONACANI LAL
CHURCHES in all faith communities have a role to play in the migration process.
However, in order to allow all faith communities to play this important role, Pacific Conference of Churches (PCC) climate change campaign officer Peter Emberson says states will have to get correct legislation on migration and other important factors such as religious freedom.
"Churches play active parts of the society similar to other social actors. Churches also act as faith community," Mr Emberson said.
"Churches have the responsibility to defend migrants and refugees rights."
Speaking at the PCC workshop on climate change and relocation workshop at Novotel in Lami yesterday, Mr Emberson said churches were, therefore, part of civil society.
"They must involve in the advocacy for the respect of human rights and the dignity of all human beings."
He said balance must be found between the need of all faith communities.

Question about C-Store bought stuff
View Single Post

Join Date: Jun 2012

When it comes to C-Store ships, as it's been mentioned already, they are generally Account Bound. So any C-Store ship can be claimed by any Character, so long as they meet Level and Faction requirements (i.e. No Rommie can claim their Ally's T5 Ships).
The lone exception to the above comes with the 600-day, I believe, Vet Reward. That allows you to claim one of several select T5 Ships. In the FED's case they are the Retrofits of the Tactical Escort (Defiant), Exploration Cruiser (Galaxy), and Long Range Science Vessel (Intrepid). The use of the Vet reward is a one-shot, you use it, that's it.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for the time...

Breather for Mayawati government which named the district after Dalit leader
The Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh got a breather on Wednesday with the Supreme Court setting aside the Allahabad High Court's interim order staying the notification of the creation of a district, named after Dalit leader Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj.
The district has been carved out of the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency represented by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Entertaining an appeal filed by the government against the August 18 order of the High Court, a Bench consisting of Justices R.V. Raveendran and H.L Gokhale quashed the order without going into merits and asked the High Court to hear afresh the plea for interim relief taking into consideration an order passed by another Division Bench dismissing a similar petition.
Senior counsel P.P. Rao and Harish Salve for the State government submitted that the impugned order was passed despite the fact that another Division Bench had dismissed a similar petition. Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam for the Registrar-General (Census) submitted that bifurcation would affect census enumeration and this fact had been taken into consideration when the interim order was passed.
Judicial propriety
The judges said the August 12 interim order ignoring or overlooking the order passed by another Division Bench could not be sustained. The Supreme Court Bench said it might not be necessary to enter into the controversy whether the order was brought before the other Bench or not, but the fact remained that the order was passed by the Division Bench on August 11 and the impugned order was passed on August 12. Judicial propriety demanded that the August 11 order should have been referred to in the impugned order.
The High Court had stayed the operation, implementation and execution of the notification dated July 1 till further orders of the court or till March 31, 2011, whichever was earlier.
The SLP is directed against this order. The SLP said the High Court was not justified in passing the interim order on the ground that the State government could not issue the notification in violation of its earlier notification dated December 22, 2009, for the reason that the latter notification was in the teeth of the former notification.
The impugned order amounted to interference in legislative powers of the State government under the Land Revenue Act to create new or abolish the existing divisions or districts, it argued.

Ipod Touch; I don't need a cell phone so that's the only reason I didn't vote Iphone. I listen to music more than chatting on the phone (although I know the Iphone is more than a phone.) I've tested the ipod touch and the ipod (thanks to my dad letting me borrow his for awhile) and those products are amazing! I love my 30GB Ipod that came out earlier this year however I would consider buying an Ipod Touch although I'll wait until spring or summer when they unveil the new versions.
